A REPORT OF THE SURRENDER RE. CEIVED AT KNOXVILLE. The Rebellious Miners Have Possession of the Telegraph Wires—Thsir Demand Uponthe Governor and His Evasive Reply—Col. Wolford’s Little Command Makes Ite Escaps From Harriman— Description of the Coal Region. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18.—The Sheriff and his deputies were kept in an anxious frame of mind all last night. At midnight came the announcement that a_ train load of Kentucky miners had taken possession of an engine and flat cars at Jellico, near the State line, and had come to the aid of their fellows who, fresh from their victory at Oliver Springs, had invested -the + camp of the militia doing guard duty about the stockade at Coal Creek. Pads: All but a few alighted at Coal Creek, the few keeping possession ofthe train and go- ing back to Clinton after the miners there. All these reinforcements arrived at Coal Creek by 20’clock. Atthat hour ae conference of the leaders was held, and it was determined to send an ultimatum to Gov. Bochanan at Nashville. This was done, the dispatch.-to the Governor stating that unless he ordered the withdrawal of soldiers and convicts they will attack the fort thismorning. An answer was received from Gov. Buchananin a brief space of time evading tne question, and in a pacific tone saying: ‘‘Be orderly; be quiet.’’ This greatly incensed the miners and they at once wired him an exact copy of their pre- vious dispatch demanding a direct answer. At 8 o’clock this morning the Governor answered the second demand, He wired that he will remove the soldiers and con- victs in a few days. The reply of the Governor was not satis- factory tothe majority of the miners, whose blood was upand who were anxious to at- tack the camp at once and make short work ofthe militia and convicts. Someofthe lead- ers were willingto accept the assurance of the Governor and pleaded with their followers for delay. They had been apprised of the scheme for the abrogation of the lease sys- tem, which at shortest must take twenty days, and recognized that the troops and convicts cannot well be removed with dignity before that time. They counseled the mentoreturn to their bomes and await the turn of events of the next few days. IN A STATE OF SIEGE. The first news this morning coming trom the front was the announcement of the de- parture of Col, Woolford and his little de- tachment of the Third Regiment from Harri- man with Coal Creek as the objective point, where 130 of their comrades are shut within the confines of their intrenched camp and surrounded by several thousand angry and determined miners. Considerable anxiety has been felt for the safety of the little band of soldiers who had started toward the front. This feeling was intensified when a bulletin was received that the miners had held up a passenger train on the Knoxville & Ohio this morning, their purpose being to stop any soldiers who might be on board. Itis known that the garrison at Coal Creek is in a state of siege, but nodirect communical toincan be had with them asthe miners- now control that end of the wire. A telegram was received during the fore- noon from Gen. Keller Anderson in com- mand at Coal Creek, saying: ‘*l have not surrendered and will not sur- render untilordered todo so by the Goy- ernor.’’ This telegram.was doubtless. delayed, as another telegram was shortly afterwards re- ceived, saying that the soldiers under Col. Anderson had been captured by the miners and were on their way to Knoxville with the captured convicts of Coal Creek. , It was Imnpossible at 12 o’clock to confirm or contradict the report of the surrender of the miilitia. HOLDING THE FORT. A courier from Coal Creek arrived here at 1 -m. Whenhe left the valley Gen. Ander- son still held the fort with a mobof 4,000to §,000 miners surrounding the camp. Anderson has sentthem word that he will die with all his men before he will surrender. Troops are headingtothis point from all Over the State. The Knoxville papers containing that fact went to Coal Creek this morning about 11 o’clock. Miners read of troops coming and said they would imme- diately demolish the fort. Gen. Kellar Anderson of Nashville, in com- mand of the little handful of 130 militiamenat Coal Creek, is anold soldier who went through the late war and made a splendid record. He has been in charge since January last. Eighty-five of the troops of the 130 have been with him since that date and are thoroughly drilled. They have every confidence in their commander and have shown themselves ready to fignt. The stockade is about 15 feet high. Itis built of 2-inch oak plank doubled. Inside this are block-houses bulit of the strongest logs. They have been fortified and improvad from time to time until the place Is very strong. The officers have abundance of ammunl- tion, and have a mountain Howitzer anda gattling gun. The gattling gun is ona little hill overlooking the fort. It can be moved into the fort ata moment’s notice. The fort is ina strong position. Itisonaknoll over- looking a valley on ail sides, but across the valley are high mountains, and from the top of these Mountains the fortisin easy sweep of acannon. - Itis reported that the miners bave a can- non but this is not beileved. It is posi- tively Known they bave none unless the Kentucky miners brought one down with them. ‘There are at least 2,000 Kentucky miners who have invaded the state, and are now a howling mob around the fort. The Courier saySthe situation is most se- rious for Camp Anderson. The miners are terribly excited over the fact that more troops are coming, and realize that some- thing must be done before additional troops arrive. Any moment an attack may be made. At 2:30 the wire to Coal Creek brought a message that Anderson sti!l held the Stockade, butanattemptto geta reply over the line failed. The wire had been cut. An ate tack is now probably being made on the fort, COAL CREEK VALLEY. To clearly understand the situation in the coal region, it must be remembered that nine in ten of the free miners employed here are native Tennesseans. it is a lonely region inhabited by men who are accustomed to the use vf weapons, and who know no fear when engaged in an undertaking which they be- lieve to be right. To them the capture of a prison stockade and the release of the convicts is an easy task when once they determined that it was 4 ustifiable act, and the only means at ban a wrong which the Legislature had to correct. ‘hey do not like to be called plain Tennes- . They call themselves Kast nes- for aah) ge incommon be- sen the peopie o e ve mountaineers of the : : : enem >»vern- . eh ea@iajet me. Mea " of all are two sections. They oo eos Pigs pe order } es. } tet them alone. The minersare not in an way different from the other mountaineers. Many raise corn and pork during the summer Pana into the mines in winter, co erably more than halftime. rude, but honest and generous, hospitable to the extent of their supply of corn and pork and kindly in thelr manners and speech. From Knoxville westward a raliecay runs through one of the most picturesque parts of the State for a distance of twenty miles. At this point the railway forks. One branch ofitrunsin a northeasterly direction from the forks, and on this arm are found the coal fields of Briceville and Coal Creek. On the other arm, which pierces the range of high hills, a spur of the Cumberland, called Wal- dren’s Ridge, was located the convicts’ camp and coal mine called Oliver Springs. Briceville is nota town. It is a succession of mines, about which cluster a few huts and stores, extending from the railroad tothe Station, Coal Creek, up the mountains, a distance of three or four miles. This is the locality in which a handful of militiamen have been guarding the convict stockade for the past six months. Thirty days agothe militia had been en- tirely withdrawn from Oliver Springs and the number at Coal Creek reduced from 150 to eighty-five, but trouble was scented by Gen. Anderson at Coal Creek. Affairs got so bad that a soldier could not go to the Post- office down in the little village without hav- ing a squad of men heavily armed to go with him. A good deal of indiscriminate firing has been done by the militia and miners. The commander went to work to increase his force. During the past few days he has added fifty mentohis force at Coal Creek. The authorities have greatly fortified their camp and have used the utmost vigilance to guard against an unexpected attack. The labor organizations in this part of the State have been growing and few members of these societies will join the militia. This accounts for the weak coniflition of the mil- itary force here. Then there has sprung into existencd the Miners’ League. The oath of this organization has been published, but whether the printed version is the true one or notis not known. However, it ts a fact thaftdan oath-bound compact exists amon sé€ mountaineer miners torid the Stateo convict labor in the mines. BATTLE SAID TO BE IX PROGRESS. NEw YoOrK, Aug. 18.—A Bicial to the Even. InG WORLD from Knoxville, Tenn., says: “It is reported that a battle is raging between troops and miners, Cannonading can be heard in the district. The streets here are crowded and the greatest excitement prevails. Five news- paper correspondents who went to Coal Creek have been captured by miners and are held prisoners.’’ GOING TO THE FRONT. GOV. BUCHANAN ORDERS aLL THE MILITIA OF THE STATE TO COAL CREEK. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18.—Late last night after consultation with Adjt. -Gen. Norman and his attorneys, Gov. Buchanan ordered all the organized militia in the State to the scene of the trouble in the mining re- gion. He then made reqnisitions on the sheriffs of Davidson, Hamilton and Knox Counties for posses of 1,000 men each, and on the sheriffs of Anderson, Roane, Morgan and Marton for 500 men or more if they can raise them. The penalty for any sheriff refusing to obey this order isa term of imprisonment and a fine of $10. All thetroops will mass at Chattanooga this morning. They will be calledat once to Knoxville and from there to Coal Creek. The posse armed themselves with all sorts of pistols and guns. Company C, with forty men; Company Ff, with thirty-five men, and Battery A, with thirty-two men, a 82-inch cannon and twoGatling guns composed the Nashville troops. The Board of Prison Inspectors met yester- day and considered the opinion of their attor- neys to the effect that the lessees of the con- victs have violated the terms of the lease. The board will give them the formal twenty days’ notice to-day. The lessees claim that they have not violated their contract, The posses summoned bythe deputy sher- iffs presented an odd appearance, armed with pistols, muskets and all sorts of fire arms. The militia com- panies of the small towns have responded very unwillingly to the cali for men. In many instances nearly ali the company has hidden until hunted up by sheriffs and deputy sheriffs. The reported surrender of the militia at Coal Creek is still the subject of much comment here, and [f these, the best trained men in the State militia, so promptly gave up with alltheiradvantages of arms and situation the question is asked what the new raw recruits can do. Gov. Buchanan js still the subject of much bitter comment and on some sides itis charged that he is insympathy with the miners and knew a week ago what they were goingtodo. Onthe other band, the Gov- ernor insists that he has been trying to have the matter ¢ettied peaceably and was sur- prised at the outbreak. Twocarloads of convicts from Oliver Springs reached here at 11 o’clock. Their story of the release is exactly as heretofore tele- graphed. They were taken to the penl- tentiary, where there are now 1,200 prison- ers in accommodations and quarters barely sufficient for 500. The guards with these convicts say that the camp doctor came inand reported that the miners numbered 2,000, and after a brief conference the surrender was made. They are very severe and say they were tricked, as the few men in the attack- ing party could have been held at bay until reinforcements arrived. The reinforcements that went from Chattanooga are stillawaiting orders at Harriman. The exact facts from theseatof war cannot be had, as newspaper reporters caught by the miners are carried out and warned not to re- turn under penalty of death. News just received at the Capitol says that 4,000 miners are gathered at Coal Creek, and that ifthe soldiers come they will be forced to return at all hazards. They are well armed and determined. There was a report ‘that the Governor would come at the head ofthe troops, but the miners declare that, Governor or no Gov- ernor, the troops shall be turned back, and that noteven will they negotiate until every soldier be sent away. The receipt ofthe news here caused much excitement. The Capitol is full of State militia, whocame in on the morning train and were removed this afternoon to the front. Many of these were made nervous by tre indication of pitter battle. No one doubts that the miners are in earnest in their threats, and unless the State authorities back down squarely it is impossible to see how hard fighting isto be avoided. Itis now said the Governor will order every Sheriff in the State to raise from 100 to 1,000 men for service, but as the State has noarms even forthose now sworn in, the equipment of the conscripts will be very poor and efficient organization well nigh impossible. The only hope seems to be in calling in the Federal authorities, and this is advocated by many prominent people now. Every large city in the State will hold mass meetings to-night to urge prompt action and discuss measures to be adopted to redeem the fair name ofthe State. The meeting here is expected to be a lively one. The illness of the Governor adds tothe gravity of thesituation. He was confined to his bed this morning, but is said to be not dangerously ill. MASSING AT CHATTANOOGA. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 18.—Chatta- nooga is to-day the massing pointof the force that will march on Coal Creek this af- ternoon;, The drizzling rain of yesterday is continuing to fall upon the = soldier boys as they move about the city waiting for the time of departure. Gen. Sam T, Carnes arrived this morning, and is quartered at the Read House here. The companies are reporting to him and getting in shape for business. The famous Chickasaw Guards of Memphis were the first toarrive. They are sixty in number and they soon became the nucleus around which men formed. The First Regiment brought in 200 men and a battery of artillery. The Second shows 200 or more well-disci It looks like business for the since the trouble commenced.

JACKSON RIFLES EN ROUTE. Jackson, Tenn., Aug. 18.—The Jackson Rifles left ona special train last night for Coal Creek to assist in preserving order in the mining .- district, in re- sponse to an order from Col. R. L. Taylor of Memphis. There is much excite- ment here, andthe general feeling is that the law should be enforced at any cost. Should a call for volunteers be issued many have expressed their intention to enlist. THE LEASE SYSTEM, TENNESSEE HAS A PROBLEM: ON HER HANDS THAT SHE CANNOT SOLVE. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 18.—The system under which the State has leased convicts t¢ the East Tennessee coal companies to be brought in close competition with free miners is responsible forthe disgrace and humilla- tion which has overtaken the State. Even the lessees, under present conditions, are sick of their contracts and would willingly be relieved of them, The State Legislature, which met in extra session last January, did nothing. It was called expressly tountiethe Knot in which the system was involved, but instead of of- feringa practical solution, it contented itself with placing the powerin the hands of the Governor tocallalithe militia of the State intothefleldat his own discretion. Here was one plan submitted to the legislat- ors and had it been adopted the resent rule of aparchy would have een avoided. A bill was presented that the Governor should appoint -a commis- sion of five,no more than three of whom should be of one political party, to ascertain the approximate cost of the Central Peniten- tiary, equipped with machinery necessary to make all the wares of the convicts and keep- ers and sell enough of.these products to pay the guards and bosses and the superintend- ents; also, one branch prison in East Ten- nessee and one in West Tennessee, each con- nected with a farm of 1,000 acres or more, with comfortable stockades and equip- ments, where all short term prisoners shall be employed. The object ofthe bill was to make the penitentiary self-sustaining and at the same time to bring the convicts into competition with free labor as little as pos- sible. But when this bill was brought before the body only four werein favor of its The members favored the present system, be- cause it brought a revenue to the State of $100,000 per annum, and thereby decreased taxation. They did not stop to consider that the Superintendent ofthe Penitentiary, the warden and twenty deputies, doctors and guards were paid salaries, traveling and in- cidental expenses out of this sum, which eats up about all of the amount, thereby making a net loss to the state, without tak- ing into account the immense cost attending the calling out of militia to put down the re- volts in the mining region. Here is the way one of the miners puts It: **We people ain’t got much, but what little we have got they wantto take fromus. We don’t average more than about $1.50a day when we work, and you know that ain’t much. Well, here comes these fellows in Middle and Western Tennessee, who control the State, and pdss a convict lease law. We ain’t got no voice in the making of this law, because the Leglature is made up of people entirely opposed to our’ interests. Well, the first thing we know, these con- victs are brought into our camp. The company had shut down on us, they said, because they couldn’t make any money competing with camps that had convict labor, and they couldn’t. There we was, without fault ef our own, without work, food ormoney, just.because the State of Ten- nessee farms out its convicts, so thatthe coal companies can make them work all day — feed and clothe them for about 70 cents a ay. i Upon the arrival of the convicts the price of free labor was cut from 2% cents a bushel to Ite, andin some cases tolcenta bushel. The wages of mule drivers fell from $1.25 to sO centsaday. The presence of the convicts enabled the companies to dictate absolutely to the free miners. Convict labor has been used in Tennessee fortwenty years. But the Coal Creek region has been free from the curse until the past year. The cause of the introduction, or the pretext perhaps, was a difficulty between one of the companies and itsmen,. At other places convicts had been used, but while they had displaced some free labor they had not lowered wages materially and the miners submitted. Butafterthey were put into the Briceville mines boasts were made that coal would be produced so cheaply that the em- pioyers of free labor would not be able to market their products. The cost at the mouth of the shaft: falls not far if any below 95 cents per ton when mined with free labor: The boaster mentioned said that 60 cents would hereafter be the maximum with con- victs. This may or may not have been true, but the miners took alarm, and from that boast the outbreak dates. But as the convict is not represented In the controversy his case may be allowed to go by default. The most serious aspect of the dif- ficulty is the part played by the State of Tennessee. The State was ina game, with a guarantee that whatever the _ result, $100,000 at least should go into the treasury. Strange as it may seem the State has been engaged in an attempt to ruin the em- ployers of free labor in East Tennessee and to turn over the coal mines to em- ployers of convicts. The inevitable result of this policy would have been Very soon seen in the bankruptcy of the free companies and the transfer of their mines to one or two gigantic syndicates controlling the whole mining resources of the State. It will be seen that thisis not only a workingman’s griev- ance. From the outset the operators employ- ing free labor have watched the infiux of striped suited black men, witha full knowl- edge of whatit meant for them. But they were helpless until the miners themselves took alarm and settled the difficulty in their own rude way. SHOOTING AT HOMESTEAD. A Striker Wounded by Two Non-Union Men. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 18.—Every depart- ment atthe Thirty-third street mill of the Carnegie Steel Co. is closed down this morn- ing on account of breakages in the various departments. Nothing whatever 1s being done, The entire output of yesterday ana last night was unfit for anything but scrap. At 3 o’clock this morning John Fleischman, who resides at Thirty-eighth street, one of the strikers who was doing guard duty at Forty-third street and Valley railroad, was probably fatally shot. Two men were com- ing towards Fleischmun up the railroad track anda third from the opposite direc- tion, A stone was thrown by some unknown person and tell | men, who immediately pulled their guns and fired four shots. One ofthe shots struck Fleischman inthe stomach and another in the right hip. The two men who did the shooting then ran away. An hour later Fleischman was discovered lying insensible and wastaken to his home. Theattending physician reports his injuries as very serious and probably fatal. 7 A FOREIGN OPINION. Lonpon, Aug. 18.—The Datly News, referring to the labor troubles in America says: ‘‘There has been nothing likethese riots in the ex- perience of the last generation. It is the saddest disappointment of lovers of liberty in the history of our time. It is useless to say that America is no worse off than her neighbors. If sheis no better off she had distinctly failed.’’ AN OFFICIAL BOYCOTT, BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Aug. 18.—At the last meeting of the Common Council the follow- ing resolution was carried: Resolved, That the Streetand Bridge Committee cancel any or ail contracts with any person or per- sons in regardto furnishing bridges contemplated by our city if any such bridge or bridges be con- structed of steel or iron furnished by the Andrew Carnegie company, as per request of the labor or- ganizations of our city. BOYCOTT DECLARED. DUBUQUE, Io., Aug. 18.—The Trades and Labor Congress yesterday deciared a boycott ©8 | against the Rhomberg street railway line on account of the company threaténing to dis- labor or who joined z at the feet of the two! | soldiers. NOW OB NEVER! Death Struggle Between Employ- ers and Employes at Buffalo. Mw Lake Shore Switchmen Join the Other Strikers, NEW YORK’S ENTIRE MILITIA FORCE ORDERED UNDER ARMS. Violent Demonstrations Prevented by the Strong Military Guard—Freight Busi- ness Blocked and Passenger Traffic Se- riously Impeded—More Accessions to the Ranks of the Strikers Expected To-Day—Status of the Industrial War. BuFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 18.—The sixth day of the railroad strike dawned upon a situation that is most grave and threatening. There are two new features this morning. At 1:30 o’clock all the Lake Shore switchmen at East and South Buffalo struck andthe Lackawanna men are restless, and the Sheriff has asked the Governor tocallout the entire National Guard for the protection of railroad prop- erty. After declining on the ground that it would involve a needless expense to the county, the railroads’ request was acceded to at midnight and a dispatch, signed by Sheriff.Beck and Mayor Bishop was sent to the Chief Executive of the State. Troops are being mobilized and soon Buffalo will be nothing more than a huge barracks, Among railroad men the feeling is *‘now or never,’’ as regards organized labor. [t- Its looked upon by them as a “fight to the death in the Hght of their § ex- perience two years ago with the New York Central, and also the C., B. & Q. Aconference of the tied up lines was held at midnightandurgent demand was made upon the Sheriff to call for more troops. At 6:25 in the evening Gen. Doyle had received the following dispatch from Gen. Porter: ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 17. Gen. P. C. Doyle, Buffalo. The Twelfthand Twenty-second will leave early inthe morning. Other regiments will follow. A inessage is reported to have been sent to the Govy- ernor by the Sheriff It has not been received. PORTER. Gen. Doyle replied that the Sheriff thought there was noneed formore troops, After doing so, he received, at 10:20 p. m., from Gen. Porter, a dispatch worded as follows: ALBANY, Aug. 17. To Gen. Peter C. Doyle: On your message and what seemed reliable in- formation that the Sheriff had wired for more troops, the Governor decided to send seven regi- ments to-night and to-morrow morning. Having been advised, however, that the Sheriff refused to ask for trovups on the ground that there was no violence or destruction of property, the Governor has_.countermanded the order issugj.. Should the civil authorities demand miliiary assistance, a suf- ficient force will be sent. I should have been with you by this morning if it were possible for me to get away. PORTER. Gen. Doyle then sent the following letter to the Sheriff, and Sheriff Beck received it while at the conference with the railroad officials: BUFFALO, Aug. 17, 1892. To Aug. Beck, Sherif of Erie County, and Chas. F. Bishop, Mayor of the City of Buffato: GENTLEMEN—I hereby state and declare that after being two days in command ofthe troops at East Buffalo and Cheektowaga, necessitated by the pend- ing railroad strike,and since this morning of my whole command, I have become satisfied that tne force now under my command is insufficient for the emergency, and in inv opinion, the Governor should be requested to call out the entire National Guard of the State in order to protect lives and property in- volved in this strike. PHRTER C. DOYLE, Brig.-Gen. Fourth Brigade, N. G.S. N. Y. This letter, together with the conference, prevailed on the Sheriff and the Mayor to make the request upon the Governor for more military. Ten minutes after the mes- sage had been received Mr. WeDb received a telephone message from Gen. Porter saying he was preparing the order as soon as possi- ble, and that when all the papers were ready the Governor would be awakened and his signature obtained. Shortly before 3 o’clock a message was received that the Governor would be awakened and his signature ob- tained. LAKE SHORE MEN OUT. It was about 1:30 o’clock this morning when the Lake Shore switchmen went out. Shortly before 1 o’clock the New York Central offered to the Lake Shore west bound yardsat LBuf- falo two trains of freight andthe two crews inthat yard refused to handle it when or- dered to do so by the night yardmaster. He at once discharged them andthe restof the men followed them. There are about 200 switchmen employed in the yards. Word was at once sent to the campandcCol. Welch aroused. Heorderedacompany under arms to go the yards. General Superintendent Blodgett was on the spot and at once prepared to protect the company. This morning a formal notice will be served on the authorities, holding the county responsible for the safety of the com- pany’s property. The agreement with the switchmen of the Buffalo, Kochester & Pittsburg was signed last night and the men are again at work. ; At 2:30 o’clock this morning a report was current that the Lackawanna and Nickel Plate men had gone out. Investigation shows they are still working, but no one cantell what will happen. The meeting of Division No. 182 of the trotherhood of Trainmen last night, did not conclude until after midnight. The discus- sion was loud and animated, and the oc- casional outbursts of cheers attracted atten- tion on the streets. Of course the session was strictly private, but it was freely rumored on the outside that the trainmen, as well as the flremen, stand ready to join the strike should further measures be deemed necessary, Rumors are also prevalent this morning that the engineers are in sympathy with the strike and may join it. “This strike,’’ said one of the railroad em- ployes, this morning, ‘*‘Will be the greatest this country has ever seen, and will extend from California to the Southern States, unless it is settled soon.’’ Camp Lehigh presented a quiet appearance last night, and not a ripple of trouble oc- curred to mar the slumber of the tired out Nothing but the solemn and silent march of the sentries and the glistening of electric lights on their bright bayonets fadi- cated that it was the scene of a military So quiet was the night that Gen. Doyle placed Col. Welch in command and came to the city and went to bed. Here and there on the outskirts of the camp line could be seen the pickets of the strikers, keeping watch of the movements of the sol- diers in the shadows Of the camp. Occasion- ally a train would g° through the silent yards with a roar and a rumble and a swishing of steam, which made every man in camp take another grip on hisnap. The strikers had a regular code of torpedo signals and they kepteach other informed of their where- abouts by exploding them, and so the night wore on until the camp woke this morning to learn that the Governor had ordered the entire state militia under arms a moment’s notice. But if Camp Lehigh was asleep, ,were Many people con- | who camp. cern eae were wide his 3 . ke c ‘busy the ong night th ‘ Grand Master 4 mand Wilkinson w conferring with representatives of the local trainmen’s union, and the Arbitration Com- mission was laboring among themselves and the strikers and accomplishing nothing at all. In addition to this the Firemen’s Union was in session, endeavoring to straighten out their tangle,and Chief Arthur of the Locomo- tive Engineers was speeding toward Buffalo as fastasatraincould carry him, Withia twelve hours allthe labor leaders will have assembled here, and the exact situation will be known, QUIET AS A CHURCHYARD. There simply was not a ripple of excite- ment this morning In the Central, Erie, Lake Shore, Lehigh and West Shore Railroad yards. Soldiers were every where, and sentries, foot- sore and weary, paced up and down the hot tracks. Butafew strikers were to be seen. They attempted no violence. There were al- together too many soldiers on hand for them to do anything of that sort. They stood around in little knots, whispering to each other mysteriously, but they were not making any threats., There isa blockade of freight that from present appearances will take weeks to re- move. Only perishable freight is receiving any attention and that is getting very little. The Central, West Shore, Erle, Lake Shore and Lehigh yards are simply choked up and glutted with freight cars. Every track Is filled with long strings of freights. The enwines are idle and the crews pass the time discussing the issues of the strike and won- dering what the next move is going to be. Only the main tracks are kept open and this isa difficult job. Sofarthere is no delay to passenger trains. They are coming in and going out on schedule time. The strikers say they will not bother them. The different yards are well taken care of by the militia, A long lineof sentries surrounds the Lehigh and Erie yard near Cheektowaga,and it is next to impossible for strangers or strikers to get anywhere near the yards. The scldiers have strict Orders not to admit any- body except those who really have business there of the utmost importafice and these are cross-questioned and only admitted in- side the lines on passes. There are guards everywhere infact. The big Central freight yards are also well taken care of, The Police Commissioners are busy this morning swearing in specials for East Buifa- lo. Up todate 200 men have taken the oath, and probably 100 more will be secured to-day. Chairman Illiig says they have plenty of men, and 1,000 will be sworn in if necessary. The strike on the Lake Shore resulted in a thorough tle-up of all freight traffic this morning, but the passenger trains were leay- ing and arriving nearly on time. Militiamen are stationed at points through the yards and at the Exchange street depot, but they are fewin number. The big yards are literally gutted with freight and the pas- senger trains glide between them like tapes. TRAINS BLOCKADED. A Rochester & Pittsburg passenger train tried to run in at 8:20 0’clock but was obliged to back again. There was much difficulty entering the Exchange street depot. The big train house was glutted with cars, the switchmen at work were green hands and they had the difficulty naturally tobe ex- pected from inexperienced men. Sofar no disposition toward violence has been mani- fested at this point, and such green hands as are at work are attendingto their duties un- der military guard. The Erie began to move freight this morning. One yardmaster told Col. Welsh that he wanted soldiers to gowith them, and that officer detailed two com- panies toaccompany them. The soldiers ac- companied the trains tod Attica and there left them, the train men saying they could get iho allright. More trains will go east to-day. The Lackawanna switchmen are still at work atlio’clock this morning. ‘The yard foreman told a reporter that the men were allawork atusuai. ‘‘We are handling our own cars, but not any cars of other roads,’’ he said; ‘‘we are getting along fairly well.’’ At the sgmne hour, at the Nickel Plate offices, it 1s Stated that their switchmen wereall at work. **Whethtter they will go out.’’ sald the officialin charge, *‘we do not know.’’ LAST NIGHT’S COLLISION. **We are covering too much territory for our numbers,’’ remarked Capt. Kirby, in command of the provisional regiment on the Centria tracks, this morning. Ourlines are too thin,’’ he added, This fact was demonstrated about midnight last night at the William street crossing of the Central tracks. Strikers and outsiders, too, bung about in Knots and groups through- out the evening. They were ugly in temper, and women and children were among the menincitingthem in bitter terms. It was not, however, untilabout 11 o0’clock that the nuinbers were such as to inspire the confi- dence of the strikers. Meantime the locality was picketed only by Capt. Wilson and his thirty-four men from Geneva, N. Y. Every man of the command was strung along thetracks on picket duty and there were no reserves. The angry, grumbling crowd caught the situation and abaut 11 o’clock began pushing in upon the picket lines. Jeers and vile abuse were cast upon the men and finally a point was reacbed when Capt. Wilson believed there would be an encounter. He hurried a courler away to Capt. Kirby’s headquarters with an appeal for help au once. Kirby acted promptly and quickly twenty-three men of the Auburn (N. Y.) company, under Lieut. Nellis and Sergt.Cheeseboro, were on the way to aid Capt. Wilson. While the messenger was on his way to Capt. Kirby the crowd had grown more threatening and finally Capt. Wilson strode forward, drawing his pistol as he did so. ‘‘The first man who moves beyond that bank will get lead,’’ he shouted In the face of the crowd. There was® pause, the ugly Impulse was checked by the daring of the’ officer who stood in the lamplight with outstretched armsandthe plstol barrel gleaming in the semi-gloom. Even ashe stood there there came a sound of hurrying footsteps. ‘The re- lief from Capt. Kirby was hurrying along the cinder patch between the tracks and halted, almost making a tableau, with Capt. Wilson as thecentral figure. The pistol came down as Lieut. Nellis lined up bis men. ‘*‘This crowd must disperse,’’ commanded Nellis, ‘‘andifthereis any resistance there will be bullets ‘used here as certain as heaven.’’ Those in thé rear of the turbulent crowd, numbering fully 2,000, jeered. ‘That was enough. ‘*Charge!’’ sprang forth thecommand, and the Auburn men did charge. The fore front broke and turned upon the throng behind andascattering followed, the troops pur- suing with active bayonets, and many legs in East Buffalo to-day are doubtiess bandaged in remembrance of Nellis’ charge. The sol- diers say they never before heard such blas- phemy as was uttered by the taunting throng and also after it had become a fleeing herd. SITUATION TO-DAY. If there is a storm center in the strike situ- ation to-day it undoubtedly rests over the New York Central System. The company, with a provisional regtment under Capt. Kirby of Auburn quartered in the freight yards, and with the ceriainty that more troops are coming from the East to-day, has clearly determined that something should now be done toward breaking the blockade. it is felt that the new recruits may now be protected and the earnest work of moving freight is tobe undertaken. Indeed the great business of moving Central freight in quanti- ties has already begun,and grain and gen- eral merchandise is now being sent eastward. Fourteen trains were moved yesterday and more will be sent out to-day unless the unex- pected happens, The point of most active movement to-day isatwhat is Known as the Central west- bound yards. ‘The officials of the rornd who are on the ground here have frequently Stated that they could secure jplenty of help to replace the strikers, butit has not bither- to been Known thatthe Centra! has within its yards over 400 new men. ‘They are belng fed by the Wagner Parlor Car Co. ‘*t want you to take the best possible care of these troops, and of the recruits,’’ said Vice-President Webb last night to J. Uv, Yeager of the Wagner car service. Mr. Yeager is acting as commissary, and has three fully equipped cars. Last night sup- per was served to tyé men and breakfast this morning. Aside track lies under the broad windows of the paint shops where the re- crults are quartered, and dining cars are to be run in on thisside; the windows will be removed and the cooked food through ee mre aed bleh } Capt. roby an i§ Men recefyed ve early to-day a requisition from Yerdmaster Gould at the west- freight yards of th Central: 16 Web oan F . **We would a detail o to rag a a oretgnrs ) early in his little speciai and watched pro- ceedings, directing and suggesting. ‘*'Wehave here six. switch engines with crews of old men who did not strike,’’ said Supt. Voorhees, ‘‘and things are going to move pretty freely before much time has passed,’’ The strikers stood at the street crossings, grimly watching the movements of trains, and looked upat the armed guards on th cars with curious interest. UNNECESSARY EXPENSE, In an interview this morning with Grand Master Sweeney of the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association he said: ‘-The idea of bringing in 10,000 troops is the rankest kind of nonsense. There are just 300 switchmen outandthey are a law-abiding lot of men, who would cheerfully protect the company’s property if the company would pay them forit. They do not want the tax- payers of Erie to pay for watchmen for any corporation or company. It is probably costing Erie County fully $10,000 for every day that the militia are out, and by this new order, if 10,000 troops are ne ohgig + into the county it will cost $50,000a day. The taxpayers will wince when they come.to pay this bill, for which there is not the least ne- cessity. There is no lawlessness among the men who are out nor any disposi- tion to destroy the company’s property. They are doing all they can and will con- tinue to do everything within the law to pre- vent other men from taking their places. this we claim is entirely legitimate. Ican tell you one thing that the railroad com- panies are doing, and ifthey continue it will take twice 10,000 troops to - handle the mob. The Lehigh and others are picking up all the tramps and bums and desperate characters they can findin othercities and are dumping them in here at the rate of fifty to 100a day. Yesterday the Lehigh Valley brought in one of the toughest characters that Philadelphia could produce and 100 more will arrive at noon to-day. I would suggest thatif the police neglect or refuse to do their duty in arresting these vagrants and criminals that the citizens ap- oint a vigilance committee to handle the af- airs of the city while this trouble exists. ‘*A committee of fifty or a hundred citizens with a hundred deputy sheriffs and the as- sistance of the striking switchmen would keep the peace and there would be no trouble anywhere. If there is bloodshed during this strike there will be no switchmen Killed. They are not where the fighting would be done. They are at their homes, most of them, and there they will remain, except such com- mittees and scouts who are necessary to watch the progress of the strike. **I have been informed by our scouts that the militiamen are assisting in switching cars and turning switches. If this is trae, and I believe itis, then Erie County is being outraged,’’ ENGINE CREWS RESTLESS. Advices from the railroad yards at 3p. m. say that the impressionis growing hourly that the firemen and engineers will soon go out. The soidiers say the en- gineers give them as much trouble as the strikers and annoy them in every possible way. Col. Welsh says that the whole State militia would not cover the territory to be guarded any too well, The Reading road sent out three freight trains this morning. Charles O’ Hara of the Forty-sixth separate company was killed at 11:55 o’clock this morning on the New York Central at Curtis. Reports from the Black Rock yards at noon say everything is quietthere. Commission- ers Purcell, Donovan and _ Robertson, labor arbitrators, were seen at the Broezel House this morning. . None of the three arenes at all sanguine of the results, and although they all had hopes none ap- eared to have any positive expectations ehind them. A battalion of about 400 men was sent to the Central yards by Gen. Doyle this morning. These men were distributed around the yards from William street to Cheektowaga. A few yard- men were moving carsin the but their cars were of little consequence. A serious state of affairs exists at the stock yards at East Buffalo. Only afew carsof live stock arrived this morning and consid- erable difficulty was experienced before they coula be unloaded. The- Lake Shore tracks are blocked with freight cars and no effort is being madeto clear them, ‘The dealersin live stock say thattheir business isatastandstill. They have telegraphed all shippers not to send any more stock, as they cannot get it yarded. There are over sixty cars of livestock stand- ing at Angola, with no prospects of their be- ing speedily removed. It appears that Quartermaster Elsaessers whose sad end was reported yesterday, wa, killed by his closest friend. Lucian Holmes, who fired the fatal shot, was younger than Elsaesser and looked to him as a trusted friend. He was almost crazed with grief over his untentionalact. He got leave of ab- sence and hurried home to tell his mother lest she should hear wrong reports from oth- ers. An investigation intothe shooting will be made, but there Is no doubt of its being ac- cidental. As the situation now stands there will be a general strike involving the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen on the Lehigh, Erle, Central, West Shore and Lake Shore by Saturday. or Sunday of the strike will have been regarded as a flat failure. The grand officers of all the unions are either in this city or are within easy call. Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is in Toronto attending the conven- tion of the Canadian branch of the Brotherhood that is now in_ session in that. city. The deliberations will close on Saturday, and he will probably come to Buffalo at that time if he is not called here sooner. The meeting of the firemen to-mor- row evening will be one of the most important crises in the strike. If the firemen concludé to go out it will be on all the lines on which the switchmen are out. The trainmen will hold a meeting at the same time between now and to-morrow even- ing. They will doubtless act in conjunction with the firemen. Theconductorsare known to be in touch with the other three organiza- tions, and ifaclimax is reached they will work in harmony with them. SKETCH OF THE CAMP. Unless an absence from home be excepted, there are no elements ofa summer vacation in the work of the militia about the strike district at East Buffalo. Yesterday there were hardships seldom experienced by troops inopen war. The meals were wide apart and, as the ambulance record proves, tle heat and other trials prostrated seme. Some had contracted colds sleeping without shelter upon the rocks in the remote lower yards where poor Elscasser was shot through acci- dent yesterday. Andevento the ruggedest the location and surroundings of military headquarters at William Street Station is trying in the extreme. Let us see if readers at a distance may see the picture: Imagine a mammoth ‘‘Y’’ with the opening of its forks looking up toward the city five miles away and with its stem trailing off to the eastward. ‘The right band fork is the main line tracks ofthe Erie, over ‘which all passenger trains of the Erie and Lehigh Valley roads leave and enter the city. The other fork is the Lehigh and Erie en- trance to the fast freight yards, where rart ofthetroubleis. thestemofthe Y is the Erie main Mneeastward. Over this figure atthe junction of the stem and the two forks is a high trestle bridge of iron, said to have cost $100,000, and belonging to the Del- aware, Lackawanna & Western, which con- ceded the demands of its switchmen, Upon this high trestle the strikers have roosted by day and watched the yards and hooted the troops, and atnight in the darkness of such an elevation they have used the trestle as a Vantage spot for more earnest attention than goes with jeers and hooting. A mile away onthe rightare the New York Central tracks. Straight out of the.city and along the outer edge of the right fork. ofthe Y William street leads down and crosses the Erie and Lehigh tracks at the junction of the forks and the stem. William street is spanned, too,at that point by the iron trestle of the Lackawanna Railroad. Close down in the acute angle of the figure is the William Street Station of the Erie road, and little colored hut of one Peter (.

Very Mean famples Among the English Nebility. From Cassell’s Journal. Occasionaily men have become miserly from good motives, as did an Italian physician, who denied himself the common necessaries of life, and when he died’ was mourned by none until his will was read, when it was found that he had left his entire fortune to be expended in bringing water from the moun- tains to his native village. So also when Bethlehem Hospital was builtan Fast End miser gave a donation of £100. When a col- lector called for the amount he was found scolding a servant for throwing away a match which had not been burned at both end. Misers are not confined to one class of Ecms sown. The life of Vandille isa proof of this. This man lived on bread and milk, with the addition of a small glass of sour wine on Sat- urdays. At his death he left £800,000 to the King of France. Audley, the Commonwealth miser, saved £400,000, all of which reverted tothe Government. A merchant died at Is- pahan inthe earlier part of this century who had for many years denied himself and his sonevery support except a crust of coarse bread. Onacertain occasion he was over- tempted to buy a piece of cheese; but, re- proaching himself with extravagance, he put the cheese into a bottle and contented him- self, and obliged the boy tu do the same, with rubbing the crust against the bottle,enjoying the cheese in imagination. One day, return- ing home later than usual, the merchant found his son eating his crust which he con- stantly rubbed against the door. ‘‘What are you about, you fool?’’ was his exclamation. the community, but have been at least as] ‘‘It is dinner time, father. You have the key, common tothe higher ranks as to the lower. John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, was the greatest soldier in Europe. Yet when he was an old man, in order to save sixpence from carriage hire, he would walk from the public rooms in Bath to his hotel tn all kinds of weatber. He died worth one million sterl- ing, which reverted to his bitterest enemy, his grandson, Lord Trevors. Sir Harvey Elwes of Stoke in Suffolk, next to hoarding money, found his principal pleas- ure m netting partridges. Heand bis house- hold, consisting ofone man and two maids, lived upon these. In cold or wet weather sir Harvey would walk up and down bis hall to save fire. His clothes cost him nothing, for he ransacked old chests and wardrobes and wore those of his ancestors. When he died the only tear shed was by his servant, to whom he left the farm, value £50 per annum. The whole of the property was left to his nephew, John Maggott, who thus inherited realand personalestate worth £250,000, on conditiean thathe should assume the name and arms of Elwes. Of this man, who ts bet- ter known as John Elwes, the miser, the fol- lowing story is told: His nephew, Col. Timms, visited himat Marcham, and, after retiring to rest, found himself wet through. Finding that the rain was dripping through the celling, be moved the bed. He had not lain iong before the same _ incon- venience again occurred. Again he rose and again the rain came down, After pushing the beu quite round the room he found a cor- ner where the ceiling was better secured and slept until morning, When he met his uncle at breakfast hetold him what had happened. **aye, aye,’’ sald Mr. Elwes. ‘‘I] don’t mind it myself, but to those who do, that’s a nice corner in the rain.’’ Mr. and Niss Dancer are reported the must no- torious misers in the elghteenth century, the manner in which this coupie were found after death to have disposed of their weaith was even more strange than could have been their methods of acquiring it. The total value was £20,000, which was thus disposed of: £2,500 was found under a dunghill, £500 in an old coat nailed tothe manger in the stable, £600 in notes were hidden away in an old tea- pot, the chimney yielded £2,000 stowed in nineteen separate crevices. Several jugs filled with coin were secreted in the stable oft. The Rev. Mr. Jones of Blewbury, with a nestegg of £200anda stipend amounting to £50 per annum, left at death the sum of £10,- 000. He had been rector of his parish for forty years, and during allthat time only one person had been known to sitat his festal table. No fire was ever lighted in his house, nor was a servant kept;in winter he would visit his parishoners, to keep himself from starving of cold, rather light a en ll mt Saag + effects like, 80 w misers; ae 1a will go where gold is, This is strik- the act of a celebrated a ter written " wan sufi- r’s heir. ; : ‘ ~ * pet e-, pa ” < v ’ ; . = ’ wor bas - so, asI could not openthe door, 1 was rub- bing my bread against it, as Icould not get to the bottie.’’ ‘**‘Cannot you go without cheese one day, you luxurious little rascal?

From the Lancet, Some grown persons would seem to think that there is notrue place for chastisement inasystem of education. Such at all events is our impression of those, and there are many parentsamong them, who regard an ordinary beating given in school as almost an indictable form of assault. People of this kind have evidently forgotten the singulari- ties of their own wayward youth, or perhaps their lives knew only a genial and untroubled springtime of good conduct. In neither case can their judgment- be relied upontoform a rule of discipline for the guidance of school teachers. The bad boy will continue to deserve and to repay with better behavior his needful thrashings, and even the good boy will sometimes err and will profit by corporal re- proofs. The truth about physical punish ment, we may takeit, is that it is indispens- able—an evil, perhaps, but a necessary one. It must de borne, but in orderto attain success with the least amount of injurious friction it must also be regulated. There must be no impulsive pulling about, no ran- dom strokes with the han:ior the ruler, no ear-boxing with its probable sequel—the rup- tured tympanum. ‘The head should never be struck, noteven siapped. Wemay say the same of the body, except one most tender but safely padded prominence which seems to mark the naturally appointed seat of childish amfiiction. We need hardly emphasize the importance of guaraing jealously againstalil displays of temper while inflicting punishment, No douvt this is dificult with refractory chil- dren, but sucha degree of self-yovernment as willenabie parents or teacners to avoid the angry moment is nevertheless requisite for success. A case occurred lately which illustrates this point. It was that of a boy who was beaten about the back and hand the day followin g a school misdemeanor, Sin- larly enough, he injured his head the next ay, and, beingatthe time in poor health, though believed to ba well, died in a week from tubercular meningitis. At once his teacher was blamed, but proof being brought that the chastisement inflicted was deliberate, orderly and proportionate, though the means employed were not quite regular, he was entirely exonerated at a sub- sequent inquest. It would, indeed, in many cases render the duties of a school-teacher as barren as dificult ifhe were not allowed a reasonable freedom in physical correction. ssible occurrence of such incidents as the above must, however, impress what we have said as to method in its application. rd K. OF PYTHIAS-CARDS—JEWELS. Beautiful Variety at very low prices, SEA SERPENTS. Such Monsters Exi:sted in the Past, Why Not Now? From the New Orleans Picayune. Now the sea serpentisin Lake Erie. Just how he got out of the ocean and past Niagara Falis, or how, after spendingalarge part of his life in salt water, he isabletolive and flourish in fresh, are problems which we are not Called upon to solve. We are willing, however,in a general spirit ofcharity, toputinapleain behalf of this monster.” Scientists of all. classes, without rezard to creed or school, fully belleve in the existence upon the earth in past ages of vari- ous grotesque and enormous beasts. The bones of these creatures, their tracks and other substantial evidences of their being and doing in the fossiliferous ages of the world’s changes are preserved in the rocky pages of its history andare soconvincing as ~s putthe matter beyond reasonable ques- on. There were creatures half fish and half lizard, and other creatures which showed the characteristics of both serpent @A&d saurian. Some had wings and were ableto fiy. Others were possessed of both feet and fins. They were in some cases wholly confined to the water and in others able to live both in water and on the land. Others there were that lived exclusively onthe land, and besides these there were gigantic birds. All these creatures were constructed ona gigantic scale. There were quadrupeds which were able to bite off the trunks of good-sized Saplingsand to chew up the wood as if it were urass. There were sloths that could rest their hind legs on the earth and eat fruits torty feet above in the trees. There were cranes and pelicans that could catch and gobbie up a six foot fish, while the snakes, the snake-lizards and the fish-lizards were of monstrous size, and all have their gigantic bones preserved in museums and labeled with Greek names. There is no doubt of the existence of these fosslis, and it is not difficult, with theaid of a vivid imagin- ation, to portray the scenes in which those tremendous creatures enacted their wonier- ful roles. More than this, allthe most ancient writers Speak of monstrous beasts inthe sea and on land with which menin the early ages were compelled to fight. Dragons, sphinxes, grif- fins and the like ravaged the land, while the leviathan, the kraken and other terrible creatures devastated thé sea. Doubtless there was some substantial ground for these Statements, because those vast creatures whose bones we have found possibly still survived to fight with primitive men for the supremacy of our planet, Evidently man was victorious, but it Is vet not impossible that some of these enormous beasts may still survive in unfrequented seas and regions. Occasionally they may come forth to astonish and alarm our race. But they are few in number or seldom show themselves to the gaze of men. “UP IN A BALLOON. The Professor Was Wise in Trying His New Parachute. From the Cincinnati Times- Star. A party of men at ’Squire Maus’ office were discussing the ‘‘balloon race’’ at Coney Island recently and dwelling on the re lative merits of the balloons, parachutes and the artists who occasionally do some lofty tumb- ling in connection therewith. ‘‘l saw a bal loon ascension and parachute drop down in Texas not so long ago,’’ said Ed Reeder, a well-known ball player now with one of the Southwestern League clubs, ‘‘that was very interesting. The balloonist Leroy made ap aerial trip m A smal. town near Austin one day and was to make a parachute leap. When at the altitude of about 2,000 feet he suddenly recollected that his parachute was a brand-new one and had never been tested. Notcaringtorisk the thing he attached a 5b0-pound sack ofsand (ballast) tothe para- chute and cut it loose. Ashe feared the failed to work rightand did not open ‘sand bag at the wooden roof of a house below, crashing through it like through somuch paper. The balloon soared aloft, and in due time as the hot air gradually escaped, sank slowly to the earth in the midst ofa farm several miles fromthe town. The farm hands had observed it coming,and when it alighted seized upon the airship, which was a valuable olled silk affair, and Claimed it as the property of the owner of the land because it had landed there. The rights of Prof. Leroy, who hap- pened to have landed right with his prop- erty, were entirely ignored. But the yahoos were obdurate, and fimally the professor de- parted. He obtained a writ of replevin for his balloon from the nearest ’squire, anda constable shortly after restored the captured air ship to its rightful owner? The hole in he roof of the bullding caused by the pro- fessor’s sand bag and the damage consequent thereto had to be repaired and Settled tor at his expense. Had he taken the place of his parachute’s handle the funeral expenses would have far exceeded the damage to the roof.’’ WILD FLOWERS OF AMERICA. Many of Them Aliens—Euttercups and Daisies, Clover and the Rest. Few appreciate how much of the floral beauty which gives interest to travel we owe to foreign introductions. If we want to admire our own native productions we have to gotothe swamps and deep woods and look for them in the most out-of-the-way places, as we would look fof a lot of wiid Indians. A writer who loves flowers and everything associated with them discourses pleasantly concerning them in an exchange. Inthe Eastern States, he says, there are twenty species of buttercup found in differ- ent places, but few would Know what a but- tercup is or appreciate the poetry and senti- ment which surround the famous flower but for two foreign species Which have made thelr home with us. The one which pre- Vails so abundantly is the buibous buttercup, the roots having a bulb as large asa marbie. Itis by far the bandsomest of the buttercup family, the flower being of a deep orange yellow and showy. As the traveler approaches New York from New Jersey a buttercup, taller and of a ligiter shede, withatint more approaching yellow, mixed with the deep golden kind, is noted. This is Known onctparetchdabe f as the tall buttercup—Ranunculus acris of the bot- anist. Afier leaving New York eastwardly only this species 1s ~)sored * oggcthed — ae nd aggress ‘fe go north- ward. te many cases it will permit nothing but itself to occupy the ground, to the se- rious loss of the agriculturist. Itis so acrid as to blister the mouth of cattle, which will therefore not touch it if possible, and thus a cow may be in some of these broad acres of buttercup fields and yet nearly starve. Iwas somewhat vexed lately by being told by a profound linguist that the word ‘‘butter- cup’’ had nothing to do with butter, for did we not when children place the flower under one another’s chin in order tosee whether or not we loved butter? But he insisted that it was not originally ‘‘cup’’ but ‘‘kop,’’ or something Dutchy, which meanta head or button, and that it was button and not butter that went first with the Cup. And the daisy !s everywhere. I have trav- eled extensively in the Old World, but have not been lucky enough to see it anywhere as prolificaily happy #9 itts with us. Itis not the daisy of the poets, the daisy of Burns, which is not taking to wildhood in our East- ern States, though finding itself at home in British Colambia, but @ Species of ehrys- anthemum an is distinctly known in the old World as al oxX-eye daisy. Like the 8 cattle, and Ind crop, ox- eye daisy The y destroys ig utterty. but in the sta pasture is of than h 7 buttercups and daisies, they are welcomed ratherthan condemned by the cultivator. Clover has followed man so closely that it Is almost impossible nowto say where was its original home. It was not in Lreland, where St. Patrick induced the Irish King to believe in the Trinity, and an oxalis, or wood sorrel, must have been the trifollate leaf usea by the great man to lllustrate the doctrine and con- vert his antagonist. When the trouble be- tween nations springs up, the clover finds its great opportunity for foreign travel, The American tourist fond of using his eyes will note a singular featurein the red clover as he journeys north or south. The clover has played an interesting part in many philosophical discussions, in the Old World, itis asserted, it fails to produce seed unless the humblebee bringsit pollen from another flower. Here the humblebee does not take this trouble, but slits the tube and stealsthe honeyed sweets without mak- ing any return; butthe New England bee Is better behaved and enters the flower from the mouth. Possibly the most remarkable instance of foreign travel in a plant Is in connection with the Swedenclover. When Linnzeus first Saw it in Sweden it was comparatively scarce and he supposed itto be a hybrid between the red and the white clover, and named it Trifollum hybridum. In America it was scarcely known ten or fifteen years ago, Now the traveler, with his eyes out of the car window, may seeitin abundance every- where. Its mottled white and red flowers and particularly sweet odor make it a favor- ite wild-flower bunch for the ladies. It is in most of the hotel vases as parlor ornaments. But possibly the loveliest, or at least the most striking, of all the introduced wild flowersis the New England whin. Another particularly beautiiul wild flower from the Old World, now getting common in New England, anda giving pleasure to the lover of wild flower scenery. is the blue vetch, Vicia cracea. It usually crowds out everything, and the farmer regards it as one of his worst enemies. On the seacoast of New Epgiand, however, the yield of this grass ig simply enormous, and the agriculturist employs it largely for hay. The roots are an- novying to the more southern farmer, as every little piece grows. Itcan never otten ridof. Buthere, where the same field is mown for an indefinite numberof years, it Is ofno consequence how the roots hold on. The more tenacious the better. But itis such a bold warrior among vegetation that nothing can grow where it grows, and a field of couch grass looks more likea field of some ene kind of wheat undera careful farmer’s lands. Timothy grass here will not stand the at- tack. Battalions of weeds contest the fleld with it. Couch grass alone sends forth defi- ance. But the blue vetch is a masterpiece. It growsup with the grass and at length overtops it, and forms beautiful blue patches over the whole fleld, sooEras like bright cer- ulean lakes overa gray arid plain. Fortun- nately the farmer does not mind, as itis as agreeable to the cattle as the grass. Itis one or those rare instances where great beauty and utility go hand in hand together and strike up a truly happy marriage. Another most lovely introduced wild flower of New England is the English barberry. In the early spring it has a wealth of iden blossoms, succeeded in the fall by the bright crimson, adding largely to the beauty of the wild-flower scenery. It has a great traveler in its time. it started in Arabia, from whence it carried and still retains its Arabian name—barberry—though no one knows what the name means. It became naturalized in England, but fell into disfavor with agriculturists from u el, not ° ounded, that it gave the rust to wheat. New ngland welcomes it for its beauty, finding no particular unfriendly habits in its pew re- lation here. aes —— Workingmen and Mechanics, Save Your a Our Only Day. Coates Kinney in Harper’s Magagine. Were this our only day, Did not our yesterdays and morrows give To hope and memory their interplay, How should we bear to live? Not merely what we are But what we were and what we are to be, Make up our life—the far days each a star, The near days nebulz. At once would love forget Its keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss, And its delicious pangs of fond regret, Were there no day but this. And who, to win a friend, Would to the secrets of his heart invite A fellowship that should begin and end Between a night and night? Who, too, would pause to prate Of insult, or remember slight or scorn, W ho would this night liedown to sleep with hate, Vere there to be no morn? Who would take heed to wrong, To misery’s complaint or pity’s call The long wail uf the weak against the strong, If this one day were ail? And what were wealth with shame, The vanity of office, pride of caste, The winy sparkle of the bubble fame, If this were the lastday? Ay, what were all days worth, Were there no looking back ward or before— If every human life rhat drops to earth Were lost for evermore? But each day is a link Of days that pass and never pass away; For memory and hope—to live, to think=— Each is our only day. Love Over AIL From the Ladtes’ Home Journal. Riches are naught. A jewel crown May be undone, and gold will melt, But an ended pain is long, long felt. Kisses are sweet, but prayers are best; Only the lips '0 a kiss are given, While the soul goes, with its prayer, to heaven. Dreams are shadows, yet sometimes come Like blessed «urtains that drop upon The scorching light of a noonday sun. Hopes betray us, ut Faith is cure, Nor asks forananswer. She smiles and waits, A patient child at the heavenly gates. Love overall! A jewel crown, A pain that sta\s, and a prayer, a kiss, Dreams, hope. faith, patience, are met in this. MARY AINGE DE VEaE.

From the Architectural Record, As long agoasthe year 822 Hildesheim ts | mentioned in history., In that year, we are j told, Lewis the Pious,Charlemagne’s son and successor, mace it the seat of the bishopric intended by his father to be established at the neighboring town of Elze. Less than a century before, Charlemagne had brought the heathen Saxons in- to subjection, and Christianity was yet new in the Jand, Gunther, the firét Bishop, had been Canon ofthe cathedral at Rhelms. Three years after his elevation to the new Episcopal See he consecrated the first chapel, naming it in honor of the Virgin Mary. This chapel is supposed to have occu- pied the site underthe present cathedral where the crypt of the new church !s built. A prétty rose bush that now clings to the outer wall of the cathedral choir ts said by tradi- dition to have grown there since the days of Lewis the Pious himself. In the twelfth century, when the choirand crypt were be- ing enlarged, a protecting, holiow wall was bdullt around the rose bush, in order that the vine might continue to grow about the bulld- ing when the new wall had been completed. A bit of the old arching may be seen hind the altar inthe crypt. This is the present voucher for the greatage of the rose and it must be admitted that many tradi- tions repose upon less solid ioundation, The Rabbit Plague. From the London Daily News.

New York has a State Board of Arbitra- tion, created by law to provide a peaceful and reasonable mode of adjusting the dif- ferences between labor and capital. En- lightened public opinion demanded that some way be found by which reason could be substituted for violence in labor dis- putes and disastrous industrial wars pre- vented. The establishment of this board was the outcome of this demand, and it was hoped that considerations of duty to society and the State would prompt citi- zens to respect organized public opinion, submit to the law and have regard to the highest interests of society by availing themselves of the authority of this board.

The difference between a fund raised openly by the voluntary contributions of plain people for a_ legitimate campaign and a fund squeezed out of fa- vored millionaires just before election day to corrupt the ballot-box of a pivotal-State is manifest.

But the truth is that newspaper would rather see the Democratic party defeated through inaction than successful through action prompted by brainier and more energetic journals.

The purpose ofthe fund is to give evidence to the Democrats of Ilinois, Minnesota, ichigan and the other Western States which promise to join the Democratic ranks, of moral support as well as material aid. Large subscriptions are not expected from all, but every subseription from 10 cents up is a mark of approval of the efforts of the Democrats in ciose States. Before he left last evening Maj. Salmon, chairman ofthe Democratic State Executive Committee, said the movement was a Splen- did oneand that the Democracy of Missourl would give it their support. ‘‘Just let the Democratic papers Keep up the efficient work andthere will be no lack of popular sub- scriptions.’’ Secretary Sam 8s.

PAPERS OF NEW YORK STATE JOIN IN THE WORK OF RAISING A CAMPAIGN FUND. New YorK, Aug. 18.—The Western Demo- cratic Campaign Fund now amounts to $15,876.07. The WORLD this morning says: Yesterday was the -best day yet in the progress of the Western Democratic Cam- paign Fund, The total amount of money received, $1,366, was less than the receipts of previous days, but the number ofsub- scribers was much lagger. Over _ five hundred persons were represented and the largest subscription, from Francis Lynde Stetson, Mr.Cleveland’s law partner, was only £600. This tendency was in the right direction. Large contributions are needed and should be made. But the fundis designed to be, above all else, a popular fund. Moral effectis quite as desirable as material aid. So let everybody share inthe work. Give only what your means will permit, but give promptly. The legitimate expenses of a campaign of eduzation are heavy, necessarily. It costs more to enlighten voters than to arouse them simply. Organization costs money. Meet- ings cost money, Documents cost money. Organization is as essential to a political party astoanarmy. Without it in the newly doubtful States the hope of winning them will be faint. With thorough organization the hope will be bright. The Western Campaign Fund Is intended to help the organization. Meetings, with good speakers, serve the double purpose of instructing the voters and arousing party spirit and enthusiasm, The campaign fund will help to defray the expense of Democratic meetings. Documents are silent school-masters that teach the people in their homes. Every doubtful voter, every new convert to De- mocracy,even every Republican in the North- western States, oughtto have placedin his hands the Democratic facts and arguments bearing upon the pending election. The campaign fundis intended to keep the truth before the voters. ss Will you help? | ENLISTMENTS IN NEW YORK.

He is on the ground with a force of lieutenants, and so ts Norton. The latter was stirring up things in Crawford when he was telegraphed to get into Montgomery at once. as Clark had come Over from Pike with an army of workers. To-day both sides are claiming Montgomery. To win it is necessary for Norton to carry it; in fact he will be knocked out of the race if he loses it. If it goes for Norton then Crawford will settle the fight, and this is claimed by both sides, A gentleman from Montgomery City said at the Laclede this morning that he had never seen such exciting times since his } residence in the county. / ILL-FEELING ENGENDERED. Considerable bad blood has been aroused, andin one of the townships two brothers, one a Clark and the other a Norton advocate, have had a falling out over therace. The whole county is aroused and the biggest vote it. ever cast at a primary will be outat the polls next Saturday. Norton and Clark are both golng from farmto farm and house to house soliciting support. and they will be occupted this way until the exctting struggle is over. | This morning, Secretary Cook sent out the last of the tally sheets and the instructions to the udges and clerks.

Peckham of Central Village, Westport, Mass., walked ~ Antothe Central Police Station and said to Assistant Marshal Fleet: : ‘‘Well, Mr. Marshal, I killed Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Borden, and I have come trom home to give myself up. I went over the back fence and through the rear door of the Borden house two weeks ago to-day andl killed both of those people out of pure love for blood. I went out the rear door anc over the back fence and walked over the New Bed- ford road. I’mthe murderer, and I want to be locked up.’’ The Marshaltook him to the cell room and searched him. He found a pocketbook - with afew receipts in it, and also unearthed some official communications from the Pen- sion Burean at Washington. Peckham is 62 years ofage, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, and hasathin gray beard. He says he Jeases a farm from Edmund Davis. The police at once went to work to trace up the man’s history. They do not think he telis the truth, and have little hope that any- thing will come of the unexpected action of their prisoner. Theyregard Peckham asa crank who has closely read the newspaper accounts of the tragedy and has become possessed of the insane idea that he himself committed the crime. However, they will soon know allabout the man and can then determine what further to do. When asked why .he committed the crime, Peckham said he had good reasons for doing it which he did not care to. state. Mr. Fleet asked him what clothes he wore, and he replied that he wore the same that he had on. He Was asked I!f they were not spotted with blood and he replied no, there were no spatters because the first blow caused death and stopped the heart’s action. He said hs struck the other blows by way of precaution, He then told the deputy marshal that he ex- pected nosympathy and wanted to be held. lie had borne the knowledge of the crime as long as he was able and now wanted rellefof mind. Deputy Marshal Fleet further questioned him regarding further particulars of the tragedy, and he answered in a coherent manner, Immediately after he was locked up Mr. Fleet telephoned tothe Mayor of New Bedford for particulars of the tragedy and he replied that he knew him very well and that he was in some ways an eccentric person. but was never thought to be insane. ’ The State has made a strong case against Lizzie Borden, As shown in these dis- patches some days ago the main proof to the testimony on the part of thes prosecution is Bridget Sulilvan,. the domestic in the Borden mansion. An important point cume to the surface yesterday; it was known to the investigators some time ago, but only came tothe publicear lastevening. Bridyet has toidthe police that on the day of the crime she heard Lizzie dawn the cellar hunt- ing for something directly after Mr. Borden . went out to go down town, and some tims after that she saw What she is positive was the hatchet tying hatf hidden in the sitting room. She heard Lizzie down in the cellar before sbe went out doors to wash the windows; also saw the hatchet when she came inside to get some water to complete her work. Whether the hatchet was then covered with blood the official did not state. Bridget saw it, and from certain indications which she described to the officials, was sat- isfied that it had been in the hands or Lizzle; whether before or after the murder of the step-mother she was, of course, unable. to State. It was necessary to connect Lizzie with the murderons weapon in some way, if possible, and Bridget did that for them. One of the difficulties that have arisen in the case is the fact that no blood-stained garments, except the dress with the single red spot, and that is doubtfultestimony,were foundin the house, and it has been shown that Lizzie Borden could not have committed the murder and escaped such markings. To meet this the theory was advanced to-day by one of the men who have been working on the case thata garment, possibly some kind ofan outer wrapwhich she had worn, had been burned. It was related that when. the cellar of the Borden house was searched an old wash boller full of rubbish was found and re abe top ofthis rubbish were the ashes of cloth. There were also evidences on the sides of the wash boiler and among the rubbish that perry had recently been pdurned there, Several pleces of white cloth with the black - ened edges were found, and also six buttons that had apparently belonged to the dress of which these scraps had een apart. This discovery was said to have been made bya siiceman, who gathered up the burned ragments and preserved them as evidence, but [have not been able to find the police- man. From the same source came the suggestion that as the ax found in the Borden cellar and supposed to be the instrument with which the murders were committed had a very keen edge, it would not have required more than a woman’s strength to inflict the terrible orderto procure food, raimentand shelter for themselves and their families;I have never been able to appreciate either the eco- Buffalo willing to perform its duty by acting as a commission to fairly adjust the Will Be Put On f£ept. 4.

There is danger that the strike will spread to a vast extent and thus by para- lyzing transportation and trade cause the loss of millions of dollars to the people of New York and other States. The board has asked the railroad officials and the leaders of the strikers to accept their peaceful arbitration. The strike leaders have unanimously accepted the offer, and declare themselves willing to abide by the decision, no matter what it may be. The railroad officials to a man have refused the offer, and declare that they will not accept arbitration. With whom is. the presumption of wrong? Upon whom doés the responsibil- ity for loss and violence which may result hereafter from the struggle rest? Upon the men willing to submit to impartial adjudication or upon those unwilling to do so? The Buffalo strikers have committed wrong acts, but none more regardless of the good of society and repugnant to civilized sentiment than this refusal of the railway officials. It would not be surprising if the people of New York — should question the propriety of permitting chartered corpo- rations enjoyinga monopoly under the State’s favor to use the State’s military forces to protect rights which are endan- gered solely because in their greedy arro- gance they refuse to regard the State’s nomic truth’'orthe humanity of the proposi- tion that the people can be made happy and prosperous by taxation, whether the pur- pose of that taxation be to defray extrava- gant expenditures onthe part of the Gov- ernment, or to increase the prices which the people pay for what they eat, drink and wear.

Lonpox, Aug. 18.—The shock of earth- quake last night caused consternation in Fembrokeshire, the extreme southeastern county in Wales. People were generally asiceep when a tow rumbling noise was heard, and the houses rocked and shivered like aship in anundulatingsea. In Haver- ford West the rumbling and motion were particularily hard, and hundreds of people awakened from sieep, rushed out into the street in their night gowns, without waiting to dress. Crockery was smashed anda furni- ture moved by the shaking of the buildings, which lasted, however, but a few seconds. The peopie remained in the streets panic- stricken and fearful of a more disastrous Visitation. After an interval another shock came, but it was slight as compared with the first, and did no damage. There was another interval and another shock, aiso slight. After some time, as there was no more sign of seismic disturDance, people returned into their houses ane tried to sleep. The day preceding the shock had been extremely Sultry in that section, anda dull, heavy heat seemed ominous of something unusual. At St. David the shock was felt with as much force as at Haverford West. The day ~ Was very warm and toward evening there Wasa dull copper hue inthe sky, while the ' glight breeze entirely stopped. The color of the sky aroused considerable remark and was thought to portend astorm. The night was almostas oppressive as the afternoon, and when the shock came many of the people were out in front of the houses, dozing ortryingto sleep inthe open air. The shock was a smart one andthe damage resulting was chiefly to property. In one Instance amirror cracked in a house. In St. David’s most of the people re- mained up almest ail night and many ofthem inthe streets. People living near St. David’s Head say that the sea was unusually quiet and almost glassy last even- ing. considerable turbulence of the waves and a large Wave swept in tossing foam high upon the rocks. Thistumult of waters continued for some minutes and ceased shortly after the final shock. : In other parts of Wales the earthquake wa not felt so seriously asin Pembrokeshire, but the disturbance was noticed as far east as Monmouthshire, BRITISH POLITICS. NEW MINISTMRS PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO VIC- TORIA TO-DAY. Lonpown, Aug. 18.—The members of the new Cabinet started for Osborne to-day by train to accept the seals of office. from Her Majes- ty. On aseparatetrainthe members ofthe retiring Cabinet started to surrender their seats of office and to make the formal trans- fer of power to their successors. The Liberal Ministry generally cheered their opponents, who courteously recognized the greeting. The following from Truth, Mr. Labou- chere’s paper, isregarded asathreat: ‘‘If the electors find that the Ministers, who owe their existence toa radical triumph, are not prepared to use the weapons piaced in their hands, then the peopieinust properly decline totrustthemandwiil justly say thereis no great difference, except in words, between the parties.’’ The Chronicle, Labor Liberal, says regard- ing Lord Roseberry’s appointment as Secre- tary, that there was a certain amouut of nonoliation with reference to the position he ‘was to be given. He wasfirstcast as Secre- tary for Scotiand and some appointments were made with that view. Then a sudden change occurred and he was appointed For- eign Secretary. The Chronicle urges the labor people notto oppose John Morley in New- castie. Mr. Shaw Lefevre has been appointed First Commissioner of Works. Sir Algernon Bith- wick has refused the peerase which was of- fered him on condition that hetransfer his seat (South hensinegton) to Rt. lion. C. T. Ritchie, who was defeated In the St. George’s division in the general election. The Rt. Hon, Kdward Majoribanks, patronage Secretary of the Treasury, sent out last night his first whip, asking the Liberal members to asseni- bie in the House of Commons to-day. The House of Commons met to-day and writs were ordered issued for the elections to be held in the cases of members who had ac- cepted office under the new administration. Tie members then changed sides in accord with the change of government, and the House adjourned for an hour. Before going to Usborne to-day there was a brief session of Mr. Gladstone’s cabinet. When the House of Commons re-assembled Keir Hardie, labor meipber for Westham, madea motionto the effect thatthe House ought to hola an autumn session. The ®peaker pronounced the motion out of order, andafterissuing additional writs of election the House adjourned till 9 p. m. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. INSULTED BY MOORS AT TANGIER.

After they had been attacked by the soldiers the Secretary struck one of the Moors, whodrew knives. The outcome of the affair would probably have been very serious hadit not been that at that moment several members of tlie Spanish Legation arrived onthe scene and rescued the Minister and Secretary. The soldiers took to flight, andas yet there is no trace of their identity. FRENCH OFFCERS 800 CONSTRUCTION.

From the Spectator. ‘*St. Barnabas, mow the grass,’’ isan old country saying; but, although St. Barnavas’ Day falls whenthe meadows are generaily ripe from wowtlng, there is no crop. so ‘*tickle,’’ asthe Yorkshire farmers say, as to the time at whichit must becut. Hay must fallwhenthe grasses are in flower. Walk into a hayfield in the second week in June, and you will see the pollen dropping from the fescue and timothy, and the yellow from the buttercups lodges on your boots. Then the beauty ofthe good meadow can be seen and understood. ‘The trefail and yellow suckling are ankle deep, anda little above rises the perennial red clovwer—the white being not yet in full blossom. ‘The true grasses reach tothe knee,the growth be- coming less dense as it rises higher, and the crowning glory of beauty is the wide ox-eyed daislies—more dear, however, to the artist than to the farmer. Dotted among the grasses are carmine meadow vyetchling, and a cozeh other smail leguminos#, yellow weasel snout, buttercups, and wiid blue ge- ranium. In a strangely-beautiful picture of Durer’s which we once saw, the ariist had evidently painted the section ofa hayfield. One seemed to be lying on the cut grass and looking at the wallieft after the last sweopof the scythe- kvery flower, every stalk of grass was paint- ed, the white daisies filling the topof ‘the canvas. Not only sight but scentis needed to judge the maturity oftheerop. Ina walk through acres of ‘‘mowing grass’’ to determine the condition of the blossom, the fragrance of the odors from the almost invisible flowers of the grasses and of the tiny clovers,crowsfoot and trefoll, that ‘‘biush unseen’’ inthe growth at the bottom,is almost stupefying and is cer- tain in some cases to bring on a violent at- tack of hay fever at night. If the flower is fully out, then the hay must be cut, no mat- ter how threatening the weather, and no crop lies socompletely at the mercy of the Skies asdoesthe hay. if thecropis short it cannot then be left to grow, ‘The grass must fail while the blossom is upon it or the Cattle willnoteatit. ‘‘etter let it spoil on the ground than to spoil as it grows,’’ is a coun- try axiom. Forthe latter is a certain loss, and a day’s bright sun and wind may always dry a fallen crop. The Domestic Fly. From the London Graphic.

GEORGE H. ABEEL AND STELLA PENDER- GAST CLANDESTINELY WEDDED. Their Parents Receive Their First Inform- ation of the Marriage From a “‘Post- Dispatch’’ Reporter This . Morning— The Groom Says He Did Not Want to Shock His Sick Mother. When the steamer War Eagle cleared yes terday morning with an excursion party aboard bound for Alton,a young Man who haa battled with life for twenty-three years and an attractive young lady who had not many moons ago attainea her majority, at- tracted the attention of quite a number of the excursionists as they promenaded up and downthe cabin deck arm in arm. ‘‘Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one,’’an appropriate little verse, was more than ones whispered intothe ears of the young promenaders as they passed their fri ends, who were scattered hither and thither on the excursion steamer. When the boat reached Alton, the excursion party dis- banded and saw the sights in the town. The young couple proceeded to the residence of the Rev. G. W. Scarothon, where Mr, George N. Abeel, residing at Mo. 1619 Chestnut street, and Miss Stella Pendergast of 1016 North Seven- teenth street, St. Louls, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony without even informing a friend of their intentions. When the boat returned the newly married couple were aboard but never intimated that they had been married, as they wished to Keep their marriage a secret for reasons best Known to themselves. Whenthe War Eagle steamed into St. Louls Mr. Abeel accompa- nied his young wife to her home on Seven- teenth street, and, after bidding her good- night, returned homeas if nothing unusual had transptred and after inquiring about his mother’s heaith, retired to his room, where he Was soon lost in the arms of Morpheus. THE GROOM’S MOTHER SURPRISED. A Post-DisPxTcH reporter called at the Abeel residence this morning to inquire about the clandestine marriage and was ushered upstairstothe sitting-room, where Mrs. Abeel was resting ona bed, where she has been confined for some days past. When informed that: her son and Miss Penécer- gast were married yesterday, she sat up in bed and exclaimed: ‘*I do not believe it. He wasat home yes- terday, and while he puton his best suit of clothes he told me fhat he would not retarn home for dinner or supper, as he intended to attend a party across the river at the house of a. gentieman named Clannihan. I asked him if he intended to take Miss Pendergast with him andhe re- plied that he had not decided as yet. She was here herself yesterday morning, and I am sure if they had intended to get married she would have told me something about ft, and that isthe reason I do not put much credence in the story.’’ The mother was finally convinced, how. ever, and when she realized that the mar- riage had been consummated, she sald, ‘*‘Well, I hope they willbe happy, but tf as- sure youit will be a terrible biow to his father, whois just recovering froma stroke of paralysis.’’ AT THE BRIDE’S HOME. A visit was paid tothe Pendergast residence where Mrs. Pendergast, the mother of the bride, wes found making preparations for dinner. When she was in formed the object of the _ reporter’s visit, she exclaimed in a very nervous tone of votce, ‘‘What, Stella and George AbeU married? This is not so, for Stella was at home alllast nixht and was only away a few hours yesterday on an excursion. Mr. Abeel accompanied her, but brought her to the door last night and returned to his home.’’ About an hour previous to the re- porter’s arrival Mrs. Stella had taken a car thenand theretoaritgerous examination by her mother, who did not apnear to be any- ways pleased by her Caughter’s clandestine marriage. ‘‘Well, if itis a fact, | suppose it ceanmot be helped,’’ eontinued Mrs. Pende- 2ast, ‘*Dduta wife ts a very expensive luxury, and if Mr. <Abeel can support her and they are satistied over their queer actions, I presume all parties can stand it and we’il endeavor to be equally as contented as they are.’’ THE GROOM’S STORY. The groom, George H. Abeel, who claims to he 23 years of age, but has a youthful appearance that woulda lead one to believe that he was several years younger, Was seen this morning at the Brown-Desnoyers Shoe Co.’s on Wash ington avenue, where heisemployed. When he was confronted by a PostT- Dis- PATCH reporter his face as- sumed an expression of horror as he asked: ‘*Whoonrn earth told you about it? We did not want a soul to know ft fora month or two at least, but 1 suppose tlie jig isup now with us. The publication of our marriage wil! spofl all of our plans and place usina rather an awkward predicament but | guess we can stand it. We never eloped, but were secretly married for reasons thatI donot caretomake public just now. The reason isthat my brother has been sick and Il was afraid the excitement would give hima back-set, andas we had the date set we carried out our programme on the clan- destine order.’’ CLEAN, CHEAP FUEL.

Its English name, currant, is taken from the French ‘‘raisin de Corinthe,’’ a title bestowed because the fruit was rst brought into notice at Corinth. We have stolen this name inthe inost unreasonable Way for our red berry. Then, tomake the confusion worse, as soon puddings and cakes, we turn round and call them ‘*plums!’’ The real currant, the dwarf grape of Corinth, is about as large asa gooseberry when ripe and its color is a deep vioict biack ; the vintage takes place in August. It is not a hardy vine. It attains laxuriance, I was told, only in Greece; and even there itis re- stricted tothe Northern Peloponnesus, the shores of the Gulf of Corinth, and the Ionian islands.

Last Tuesday nightthe post helda meeting atthe ‘‘Our House’’ and Duta few minutes elapsed after the meeting was called to order when a movement was made to disband, which was carried by a sufficient number of votes. A number of the members then went the. city, where they enrolled their names on the record of Hassendeubel Post. There seems to be a difference in opinion as to what led to the rupture and disbanding the post. Adjt. Charles Guehene the post said that the direct cause was brought on by members falling out because they failed in paying up dues, and that the few members left did not careto pay a double assessment to keep Tuesday night the matter was thoroughly discussed and culminated In dis- banding. Others claim that the cause was due to some members finding fault about a picnic that was to be givenon May 1 last. These members objected and caused a great after an entertainment was given for the benefit of the post and it was said some ofthe members worked hard to have the entertainment prove a failure finan- cially. Discord has followed ever since, and could only be settled by disbanding. Garesche Post was organized Aug. 9, Is8$84, and was a strong post numerically and finan- cially. From 200 members the post dwindled down to 43 members In eight years.

Their Pictures Should Hang onthe Walis of Every School In an article entitled ‘‘Pestiferous Plants,’’ inthe Popular Science Monthly, Prof. B. D. Halsted says: ‘‘The fact Is patent that weeds are everywhere present, and the best means ought to takento resist thelr greater prevalence, In this warfare against them there is no weapon equal to a thorough know- ledge of the enemy—thatis, an understand- ing oftheir nature, thelr appearance in all stages of growth, thelr methods of propaga- tion and dissemination of the seeds: This } knowledge is much more highly appreciated in Kurope than here. ‘*In Germany, for example,they have wall- maps upon which the leading weeds are rep- resented. Hung as these are upon the school-room wallsa child, simply from daily seeing these life-like colored drawings of the various pests, will learn their appearance and names. Some such methodof instruc- tion is needed in this country, by which. the children who are soon to be our farmers and gardeners may become familiar with the troublesome weeds, even in advance of their advent, that the proper means may be taken atonce for meeting and destroying them. Kditors of agricultural papers and professors in agricultural colleges yearly receive many interesting letters asking for the simplest kind of information concerning many com- mon weeds, thus showing the general laek of knowledge upon this important subject. ‘Po put a map of a dozen of- the most de- structive weeds upon the walls of every country school-house inthe United States isa great undertaking; but, if it were done, the nextand succeeding generations of farmers would be the better able to carry on the work of extermination. There isalarge number of farmers’ clubs throughout the country and a great deal might be done by hanging a weed chart upon the walls of these halls, where farmers gather from time to time for mutval improvement and a better under- Standing of the ways and means of a more profitable agriculture. **Weeds have been negiected in more ways than one, and just so far as they are over- looked and left to themselves the greater will be the curse. As we look over the premium lists of our thousands of county and State fairs we seldom seea prize offered for the Dest collection of weeds, It seems incom- patible with our fitness of things to havea g000 coliection of anything. that is bad, and yet the fact remains that there is no class of plants about which an increase of knowledge is more imperative than these same ugly weeds. A few dollars expended in awards by each fair association would bring together lists of plant pests, the exhibition of which would not only surprise, but greatly instruct those who see them. It is not less important for the farmers of any district to Know of the arrival ofa New weed than of the advent of a new fruit or grain.’’ Diamond Catalogus.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 18.—Charles Havers, alias Hunter, a notorious crook, sawed his cell door at the Allegheny County Work- house at8o’clock this morning and, after Eber- hartz so that he will die, made his escape. Havers was serving his third term of impris- onment. Yesterday he played sick and did not work. He used a saw made of an old case knife and with it cut his cell door. Keeper Eberhartz was beaten to insensibility witha bar of iron and badly cut with the saw knife. The murderous demon then jumped upon him, tramping his vitals out. Havers then threw his victim in his own cell, took his keys, locked the cell door, and with the keys opened his way to liberty.

Sam Goss, nephew ofthe murderer and sul- cide, who slept in an adjoining room, heard a noise, and going in found his uncle and aunt dead. The woman wasin bed and ap- peared as if she had been attempting to rise when she was killed. The man was also on the bed, his leftarm hanging down and in his hand was a bloodstained razor.

VIENNA, Aug. 18.—Crocker, the Carlsbad murderer, has shown signs of insanity on the passage to Europe. On one occasion he tried to strangie his servant. The latter de- votedly kept the matter secret, but exercised asharp watch. On Monday evening while the mother and son were supping together, the servant being absent in hisown room, the son suddenly took a rope, evidently pre- pared for the purpose, froma wardrobe and twisted it around his mother’s neck. Her shrieks brought a number of servants, but they were too late to help her. The murderer regarded the corpse on the floor with the greatest indifference and made insane re- marks. A DARING FRAUD, HAMBURG, Aug. 18.—A daring fraud has just been perpetrated on a well-known bank in this city.

It was discovered afterwards thatthe same check had been paidin 1890. It appears that the check had been stolen from the bank and that the date had been altered when the check was presented the second time for pay- ment. BANDITS CAPTURED.

A Colored Woman Volunteers Testimony in the Ball Case. A negro woman, living at No. 503 South Fourth street, called at the Four Courts this morning and ~ volunteered some testimony in the case of Mrs. Lucy Ball, who recently died at the City Hospital. She said that about one month @go Robert Ball, the husband, had knocked wucy Ball down and kicked her in the head while down. Dr. Chambers, the physician conducted the post mortem examina- tion on the body of Mrs. Hail, stated that the injuries to the brain, from which the woman head died and which she claimed had been inflicted by her husband, might have been caused by such blows.

Capelli against Girard Barricelli was called in Justice Carroll’s court this morning at 10 o'clock, and the de- fendant at once took achange of venue to Judge McCaffery’s court. Capelli is trying to have Barricelli placed under bonds to Keep the peace, claiming he threatened to kill him on the night of Aug. 6in asaloonon Twentt- ethand Chestnut streets. Barricelli insists ‘that he did not threaten to kill Capelli, and as soon as the case is decided he says he will swear out a warrant, charging Capelli with perjury, The case has not yet been set. Barricelll objects to the statement made in yesterday’s Post-DrispaTcH that the Italians of St. Louis are divided tnto_ fac. tions. He says the Italians are united in a body in the Itailan American Political Club, and. that there are only six or eight malcontents Who cannot be called a faction. They call themselves the betterciass, hesay s, and are trying to control the Italian vote for their own bene- fit. Barricelli wishes to correct the statement that he was the organizer of theclub. He was made its Secretary at the second meeting and was appointed to draw upthe by-laws and to calla rally of the Italians. He worked so arduously for the gooa of the cluband for the betterment of the condition of the Ital- lans, he was unanimously elected President three times at as many meetings. HANGING TO A BED-POST. The Mystery of Charles Abt’s Disappear- ance Explained by a Terrible Discovery. Charles Abt’s body was found this morning hanging toa bed-post ina back room at 700 South Fourth street. It appears that Abt was a bartender for Otto Hack, who runs the saloon on that corner, Fourth and Plum Streets, and that Mr. Hack discharged him last Saturday. Abt continued hanging about the place and drinking a g£00d dealthat night andthe next day, and then suddenly disappeared. For two years he bad occupied a room up-stairs in the rear part of the building and nobody, it seems, thought he was there until this morn- ing, when an intolerable stench came from that portion of the house. The door ofthe room was forced openandthe body of the discharged bar- Keeper, already inanadvanced state of de- composition, was found hanging to a bed- post in a half sitting position, The body was cut down and conveyed to the Morgue and the inquest will be held to-mor- row. Abt was a German 56 years old and un- married. The police have taken charge of his trunk, clothing and other effects. The suicide left the following note, written in German, addressed to Carl Breitschweict, 720 South Fourth street: lam tired ofliving. I hope to meet you in heaven. I wish to have my body cremated. DRAWING THE CCLOR LINE. Residents of St. Ferdinand Street Watch- ing a Peculiar Race Disagreement. An incipient race war is brewing in the quiet neighborhood of St. Ferdinand street, between Goode and Pendleton avenue. The block is occupled by some forty residences, not magnificent but substantial and comfortable, corresponding to the finan- Ciai condition of their owners. The peace and quiet that brooded over the block was rudely disturbed last Monday by the arrival of a Colored family who moved into the vacant two-story brick, No. 4274. The neighbors were angered thereat, and an investigation was made, and it was found that the prop- erty belonged to one Joseph D. Stone, and the objectionable tenant was a barber by occupation named McCutson. Fred Becker, a clerk in Collector Zeigenhein’s office and a prominent Kepublican politician, and John Woodlock, who occupied adjoining houses, have both erected 10-foot fences be- Detween their houses and McCutson’s res!i- dence, and from the walls to the front fence there is a good six feet of board. Mr, McCutson has not avery large view of the adjacent landscape and the breezes cannot strike his house with any freedom. The neighbors are intently watch- ing to see how long he will enjoy his circum- scribed domain, People’s Party Notes.

Chairman Taube- neck states that the Democrats agreed -to give the People’s party the elec‘oral vote of the State if they would put no State ticket In the fleld, but the agreement was not ac- cepted or considered, The managers of the People’s party Claim that they will elect a full State ticket in Idaho and also receive the electoral vote on accountof Idaho beinga silver State.

HOW CAMPAIGNING HAS BEEN DEVEL- OPED AND MADE A SYSTEM. NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—It was the opinion of Marshall Jewell that the man who was competent to run a National campaign com- mittee and who did it was a very foolish per- son. The Governor’s exact characteriza- tion was a much stronger term than this. **If he is a poor man, the same qualities that would enable him to direct acampaign com- mittee would enable him to earn a great for- tune, anditheisa rich man he could hire some one else fo do the work while he did the heavy standing around, looked wise and took all the glory of success.’’ Gov. Jewell spoke from experience. He was the chairman of the Republican National Committee for several years, and while he did his work with enthusiasm and sometimes | with success, he always spoke of his work as being foolish when Jooked at from the point of view of personal consideration. It isa somewhat strange coincidence, too, that another son of Connecticut, Gen. Bar- num, waschairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, while Jewell was conduct- ing the Republican campaign. Thus these two men who were most _ in- timate personal friends, coming from one of the smallest states in the Union, and therefore of comparatively slight political influence,were the generals in com- m and of the opposing forcesin some of the August Belmont. greatest political battles the country has known. Gen. Barnum’s opinion of.the per- sonal advantage that the chairman of a national committee gained was very much like that which Gov. Jewell entertained, and when these political enemies met they were very apt to compare notes and to reach the same conclusion, which was that they would be far better off ifthey permitted some one else to plan and fight their campaign battles. When in a reminiscent mood Wm. M. Evarts, who was then a young lawyer just hanging out his shingle, will describe in graphic picture the story of that campaign, and that aged but still enthusiastic political warrior, Richard W. Thompson, delights to pass Over the politics ofa later day in which he was a conspicuous figure, and tell of that remarkable campaign of Tippecanoe and Tyler too. When he was Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Thompson declared that into no campaign since that day had every citizen entered with such tremendous enthusiasm as then. It made the country a scene of excite- ment which every hamlet shared, and it was ascene of political festival for the greater part of six months. After that the campaigns were exciting, conducted in a manner which stimulated en- thusiasm and appealed to the eye andthe ear. In 1856 the campaigners organized troops of boys and every village had its Fre- mont company dressed in white shirts, dark trousers upon the side seams of which were sewn stripes of white tape, while the youth- ful Buchanan cohorts were dressed in Gari- baldi shirts and their trousers were decora- ted with red tape. Andthe rich politicians taking pridein these youthful displays pre- sented the young poiiticians with banners em- blazoned with the legends of the campaign. In the winter orearly spring of 1860 Abra- ham Lincoln was invited to speak in Con- necticut. That was before he was nomi- nated for the Presidency. At that time Connecticut was a spring State, as it was called, that is, its .State elections were held upon the first Monday in April, and were es- teemed of political consequence as giving some hint ofthe popular feeling. Therefore the spring election of 1860 in that State was of peculiar interest throughout the country, because it would, to some extent, give the cue for the national election which was to occur in the fall. Mr. Lincoln consented to speak in Hart- ford and one ortwo other towns, and Mr. Marshal Jeweil. George 8. Bissell,a young banker of Hart- ford, organized @ company of enthusiastic young mentoescort him to the hall. This company wore Waterproof capes and caps and carried torches, and were called Wide. awakes, and out of that circumstance began that feature of national campaigning which seems to be permanent, the torchlight pro- cession. The conduct of national campaigns was be- ginning totake On a more businesslike or scientific method than had characterized it from 1840. Then every man was a cam- paigner, and the desire seemed to be princli- pally to raise a great hue and cry which might bring everybody tothe polls. Business men, however, from thetimethe war broke out, began to assume the management of campaigns and to conduct them with the precision and in somerespects the secrecy which characterized the management of great business affairs. Goy. Morgan of New 10rk, then in his prime asa great merchant, aman of wide socialand political influence, tooK an active interest in the campaigns of that day, and his opponent was Mr. August Belmont, who was also, first of all, a busi- ness Man, a banker, and a financier of inter- national repute. The result was that bust- ness methods began to shape cam aign poli- cles. Belmont .had the harder fast. His party was ina and not only wrongly su hopeless minority in the North, that but it was rightly or pposed not to desire earnestly Federal Mager with the extermination of slavery. his sentiment and its in- considerable membership made it almost im- Ssible for Mr, Belmont to Keep up the sem- lance of an organization. methods which had been in vogue wor Me ais nee ae : y Pe Aes!

The change in campaign management had become conspicuous when the campaign of 1876 began. The potential aig of money as a factor in campaigns, not meatiing by that the dishonorable use of it, but rather the le- gitimate employment of it, had become well understood. Neither party and no great pol- itical manager is responsible for the discovery of this new method of campaigning. Much of the credit, if it be a credit, is due to Gov. Tilden, He, as a campaign manager, has revealed what. so ‘few managers of cam- paigns have beenable to do—such creative capacity as to enable him torevolutionize prevailing methods. He saw that there must be enthusiasm, something for the public to grasp, an ideal or an issue upon whicha campaign could be conducted with just as much enthusiasm as characterized the famous campaign of 1840. That, however, was to be the spectacular, the appealing and the demonstrative part of the campaign, which In the days that had gone was practically all that there was to campaigning. | But Mr. Tilden showed that the time had come when something else was necessary, and that was a work which was to be donein secrecy, not because it was dishonorable, but because it was strategic. It involved the reaching of every voter, soas to bring him, in a sense, In personal contact with the cam- paign management, It entailed the making of sts inevery school district. It required correspondence calling for great corps of secretaries. It set the printing presses to work for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In other words, it made neces- sary the creation of an organization so ex- tensive thatitreached the humblest farm house in every community. That sort of work required money and a great deal of it. In the campaign of 1568, when it was said that $250,000 had been raised in New York State, every penny of which had been expended legitimately by the organiza- tion, the size of this sum Caused general com- ment. Yet so greatly has the science of cam- paigning developed and so prodigious are the calls upon National Committees now that such a sum as this would be re- garded as a mere incident of a sub- scription sufficient to carry on a campaign. The expenses of national committees and their allies, the State committees, reach into the millions. It ishard to get an accurate estimate, but the Secretary of one of the na- tional campaign committees told the writer that he should say in round numbers that be- tween $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 had been spent by the two committees and by the subordl- nate: associates ina single national cam- paign. ‘io the eye of a casual spectator this in- crease in expense is made manifest especially in New York City. A dozen years ago a few rooms and a parlor in one of the New York hotels were amply sufficient for a national committee’s accommodation. The growth of organization and the extensiveand subtle ramifications of campaign work now require great houses. One of the national committees comtemplates taking a house in New York which is large enough to do busi- ness as a hotel.* New York has become the poiitical center, or at least the headquarters of the national campaign committees of both parties, and managers in one of the parties who are also financiers are now seriously cqnsidering as a business investment the erection of large buildings, built with special reference to the needs of campaign commit- tees, to be rented permanently to these or- ganizations. During a Presidential campaign within the past ten years, itis said, the. bills for print- ing alone, including the work of preparing copy for the printers and the expense of Samuel J. Tilden. mailing, allof which were included under the general head printing, amounted to nearly $250,000, and it was the opinion of Mr. Tilden and has been the recently expressed opinion of Senator Hill that the silent messengers which came through the mails tothe voters had far more influence in determining the doubtful than stump speeches or political processions, and that is also theopinion of the ablest of the Repub. lican managers. Senator Hill, who ts one of the shrewdest organizers, has said that pub- lic meetings convert few voters, mainly for the reason that when a Republican speaks he is listened to for the most part by Repub- licans, andthat its also the case when the Democracy hold meetings. The chief value of these public demonstra, tions and of the stump is that it maintains the party in good discipline, or, as the Sena- tor expresses it, it steadiesthe ranks. Inthe close States in the North, however, those which determine national elections, it is the doubtful voter who decides the battle, and these men are reached through the mails and by personal approach. ‘*‘What makes Marshall Jewell so power- ful a_ politician and so powerful among politicians’’’ was a question once asked by a Dymocratic politician of a Republican Senator. ‘*He is the most charming and exquisite begvar in this country,’’ wasthereply. And the meaning contained in .these words was this, that Jewell was abletoobtain greater subscriptions than any other man of his party and to get money out of men who had seemed as deafto other appeals asa miser could be. He has been known to Start out in behalf of pleading campaign committees who saw bankruptcy threatening them, and after a week of genteel begging to return with fat pocketbook and a jovial countenance. He had @ most insinuating and winning method ofapproach. He was rarely repulsed, and he usually left a vounting-room leavinga sense of favor bestowed by him in Calling upon the banker or merchant, rather than a sense of favor given with the writing ofa check. It was almost impossible to resist him. Merchants have said that he had some- thing of a hypnotic intiuence which enabled him to compel them to sign their hames to checks before they knew really what they were doing. He wastbe ablest collector of campaign funds this country has ever seen, and if he had been as able a dispenser of them he would have been far and away the most brilliant polit- ical general of his generation. Wm. H. Bar- num had this same capacity, though not to so great a degree as Jewell, Dut he was an abler tactician than Jewell. August Belmont Was a skillful collector of money, but he was not always skillful as a political manager. Gov. Tilden never attempted to collect much money himself, but he had powerful friends who easily raised campaign funds for him, Some of the shrewdest politicians belleve that the science of campaigning will be de- veloped in the near future tosuch an extent that each campaign comiittee will be com- pelled to organize something Ikea bank or trust company, which shall have control of its financial operations, for they are getting to be soenormous as to compel something different from the comparatively irresponsi- ble financial management that has hitherto characterized the handling of these funds.

From the Kansas City Journal, Lew, do you remember oid Willer Creek mill, On Uncle Abe Hoskinson’s place, Where we used to go ev’ry Sunday until Folks said ’twas a public disgrace?

Weused to ride home through night— I’d manage to drive going down— But, Lew, do youmind howlIclaimed as my right ‘Lhe back seat a-coming to town. the cool summer We didn’t nave chaperong then, bless your soul— oo early for them, I belleve— And so we were honest, I think on the whole, We'd no one along to deceive Iknew you were ‘‘gone’’ though you never would say You guessed the same thing from my tone— The girls likely soon saw just how the ground lay, And talked it all over alone But, my, weren’t wé proper and prim going out, When day wore his radiant crown— But yo thid a strange and weird change came about On the back seat a-coming to town.

Of course we are happier now than we were, And have fewer sorrows to drown— But I'd give to-day up for One sip from the cup On the back geat a-coming to town. ~_— A Will That Makes no Bequests. From the Philadelphia North American. The will of Edward C. Knight, the sugar refiner, was admitted to probate by Register of Wills Shields yesterday, and is a somewhat pecullar instrument. It makes no bequests tothe heirs of the testator, providing only forthe appointment of the executors of the estate. ‘ihe large property will therefore, be divided according to the intestate laws. ‘fhe exact value of the estate cannot be known until an inventory is taken, but it is estimated to be worth nearly , 000, 000. The widow and son of the decedent, Anna M. Knight and Edwara ©. Knight, Jr., are named as the executors. No disposition is made of the beautiful park near Oollingswood, in Camden, but the offer of the property as a giftto thecity has not been withdrawn. Mr. Knight spent consiqd- erable money in improving the grounds, ana about four years ago threw them open as a public park. Later he offered to give the grounds to the City of Camdenff the city would agree tocare for and maintain them, but the necessary legislation for the accept- ance of the gitt has never been obtained.

From the Portland Press. 7 Mr. Charles Gore, who died a few years ago, was the author of many kind deeds, but it is not generally known that there Is one to be laid to his credit that is highly flavored with romance, A Press reporter, in conver- sation with an intimate friend of Mr. Gore’s yesterday, learned the facts connected with the case. A number of years ago two sisters were em- ployed as diamond cutters by a large Boston jewelry house. They were orphans, the chil- dren of a gentleman who had enjoyed all the social advantages that come with large means and thorough education, but who met with reverses of fortune and left his daugh- ters entirely dependent on their own re- sources. ‘The girls struggled hard to earna livelihood in various ways, gradually but steadily dropped outof view of their oid social friends, and finally, by the teaching of a skilled diamond cutter, whose acquaint ance they had made, became, as we have stated, cutters for the Boston house, with wages sufficient, when taken together, to give them a fairly comfortable livelihood. One Gay one of the sisters had trouble with hereyes. Shethought it a trifling matter and paid little attention toit. But the an- noyance increased. Furthermore, the other sister was taken sick withan acute attack of a serious malady and died, leaving the living sister entirely alone inthe world. Notwith- standing heraffiiction and other troubles the surviving girl bravely boreup, and worked allthe harder at her diamond cutting to secure delicacies forand pay doctors’ Dills of the sick sister before her death, while the trouble with her eyes became more and more pronounced, As soon asshe gota chance the working girl called ona celebrated oculist and asked what alled hereyes. The doctor told her she should take a long leave of absence and give her eyes a complete rest. ‘‘How long a rest?’’ she asked. ‘‘At least two months,’’ saldthe oculist. The girl went to the firm and stated the case, but said she couldn’t afford to take the rest demanded, as she had incurred so many expenses. The firm told herto take the two months, and her pay should go on just the same, A tew days after the girl left on her vaca- tion the member of the firm who gave her leave of absence happened tomeet the oculist who had examined the girl’s eyes, and asked him what he thought of thecase. ‘‘Poor girl,’’ replied the oculist, ‘‘I couldn’t bear to tell her. She is sure to be blind in a few months, and she Is alone in the world, proud, high-spirited and with nothing for her sup- port. 5s? The next night the member of the firm hap- pened to visit his club at the West End, and in conversation with several friends he met stated her sad case this way. He further said he had been to the biind asylum to see what provision could be made for the girl, but ascertained that by the rules of the asy- lum she was too old to be admitted tolts benefits. There was one thing, however, this asylum would do, Ifthe girlcould get an income of $300 a year, sothat she could have a home near by the asylum, they would take care of her. The gentleman said he would agree to give $50 a year for aterm of years. Four other gentlemen pledged $50ayear for the same length of time. It happened that Mr. Gore was present, a guestof one of the gentlemen, and he immediately said: ‘*Put me down forthe remaining $50."’ The $300 was then ralsed, and when the poor girl re- turned to Boston with almost total lack of vision she found a home made ready for her, with kind people to look out for and comfort her.’’ Years rolled onandtheterm of years for which the income of this blind girl had been subscribed was near its end—within four weeks in fact—although the girl herself was unaware of it. Several of the subscribers had. died and mace no provision forthe continu- ance ofthefund. Mr. Gore sickened and died. His will was opened and it was there found that he had left an annuity of $300 to the poor blind girl, now woman, for the use of her natural life, and instructions to his ex- ecutors to make the sum larger if in their. opinion it was advisable. The principal ex- ecutor was a man Portland knows full well. His own charities are many, but they are not blazoned from the housetops. He has made a pointof visiting the blind woman from time to time to see how sheis getting along, One day he said to her, after a conversation in which her well stored mind and delicate, refined manner had made him pass a pleas- ant hour: ‘Don’t you get very lonely sitting here even if you do have the accompaniment of birds and flowers and the conversation of iriends?’’ ‘*There are two things,’’ she said, **I should like, if lhad the means and could afford it; that is, I should like to hear a good concert occasionally or opera, and in sum- mer Ishoulddike to hear the waves as they wash on the beaches and smell the salt air of the ocean. But I have been so fortun- ate beyond my _ greatest hope thac it would be ungrateful to repine.’’ **NOw, look here,’” said the gen- tleman; ‘‘when you want to goto the opera oraconcert you buy a couple of tickets, in- vite a friendand go, and when you wunt to go to the beach fora week ortwo outing in summer you let me know, and! will see that your expenses and that of a friendare paid.’’ And now the later years of this afflicted woman, by the generosity and kindness of these two gentlemen, will be those of peace and contentment. Let it be bornein mind, too, that Mr. Gore had never seen the woman whose future has depended so materially upon his generosity. Typesetting With Both Hands. From the New York Telegram. The foreman of a composing room has con- ceived the idea of using both hands in picking setting the pes te the stick ing Bent ce the has the stick ; partial deafness is due directly to catarrh. Partial or Complete Deafness Almost Always Due to Catarrh—Neglect That Brings on Inopairment and - Destruction of the Hearing. A very large percentage ot the cases of total oR. The deafness begins with roaring and. buzzing noises, one of the first symptoms of this disease. Have you ever noticed how many people incline one side of their head to you wh en you talk to them? or who change positions with y ou when walking, s@ as to have the ‘‘good ear’’ toward you? + If you ever have, then you would know how c¢ome > mon this affection is. Nearty one-half of the people you meet are so affected, and you can observe itif ae you will look closely, because 1t is impossible todise — guise when the critical eye is on the alert for it. it is a sad thing to lose any of the senses or to have any one of them impaired. What can be said ofa person who permits a disease to so impair his senses them? Does it notseem likea sheer waste of nate ural gifts? Yet many persons by neglecting to se- cure the right Kind of treatment, which can be had only by specialists properly trained for the purpose, bring upon themselves a derangement. and an im. pairment of the sense of hearing which operates to destroy eyery interest in life, and to rob them of all the freshness of pleasure. Drs. Copeland and Thompson have an unparalleled record of cures of catarrhal deafness. If you are affected that way try them. CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.

Some encouragement came from the clearances, which from four ports were 61,677 pkes flour, 415,950 bu wheat, equivalent to nearly 700,- 00 bu.

Menuel Gonzales, who yesterday identified Jose Rablez as the man who stabbed Anasta- Cia Zalles at a dance last Sunday evening at Seventeenth and Carr streets, stated that there were three sitting on a sofa and when Rablez came up and asked to be allowed to sitdown he was told that there was not room for four on the sofa. This angered Rablez, Gonzales said, and he said to Zalles, **I will stab you.’’ He wastoldif he madea fuss he would be put out. He then drew a knife, Gonzales said, and cut himself across the forefinger of his left hand. Pretty soon Zalles and Rablez went outside the house, and that was the last seen ofthem by Gonzales until Zalles was cut. Gonzales said that Rablez came to his house at Tentb and Gratiot streets on Sunday night and his shirt was bloody, and he sald, laugh- ing: **See, his blooa@ colors my shirt. I like it, for it is sweet.’’ It was explained that the cutting of himself ’ Dy Rablez before the stabbing was a greas- er’s habit. They wound themselves before engaging in a fight, it is alleged, so that they canclaim that their antagonist didit and thus plead self-defense.

HE REFUSES THE APPLICATION FOR A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION. The Court Holds That It Has No Power to Interfere With the Police Department in the Exercise of the Discretion In- vested in Them in Znforcing the Laws— Court News. Judge Valliant gave his decision to-day in the matter of the temporary injunction, asked for by the J. T. Tracy & Co. Commis- sion Co., doing business at the St. Louis Public Stock Exchange, against Chief of Police Harrigan and Assistant Chief Reedy torestrain them from raiding the plaintiff’s place of business, as was done last Friday. Judge Valliant refuses to grant the restraining order asked for, taking the ground that he has no jurisdiction. A numberof persons besides the parties to the suit assembled in Judge Valliant’s court to-day to learn the decision in the case. Assistant Chief Reedy rep- resented the Police Department and Judge Krum, the plaintiff’s attorney, and his clients were on hand. City Counsel- lor W. C. Marshall, who represented the police authorities in opposing the granting of the injunction, was not present, being out of the city. Sheriff Patrick Staed was present, and a number of attorneys. The remainder of those inthe court-room, with the exception ofafew members of the Police Department, who accompanied Assistant Chief Reedy, were bucket-shop men, who were anxious to learn what would be done In the case. Judge Valliant entered the cuvurtroom a little after 10 o’clock carrying a bundle of in his hand. He retired to private office, having first beckoned Assistant Chief Reedy and Judge Krum to follow him, Judge Valliant read the opinion tothetwo gentlemen in his private office. The matter being done in chambers the Judge did not announce his decision from the bench. When Judge Valli- ant had finished reading the decision Judge Krum and Assistant Jhief Reedy came back into the court room and Judge Krum informed his clients of the failure of their case. Assistant Chief Reedy was asked bya PosT-DISPATCH reporter what course he pro- posed to take, and he said he did not think the Stock Exchange people would attempt to run, but if they dia, that he would raid them again. Judge Valliant’s decision giving his reasons ror refusing the injunction Is in full as follows: THE DECISION. The police authorities of this city are charged with the duty of arresting persons violating the criminal laws ofthe State. as well as those violating city ordinances. In the performance of that duty there is necessarily involved the exercise of a discre- tion of a high order, The question at the threshold ef this case is, has a Courtof Equity Boge rhea to interfere with, regulate or control that discretion? Ihave not been able to find any authority that upholds the claim to such jurisdiction. The authorities cited by counsel for the piaintiffs are of cases where public officers have been enjoined intheir acts in relation to civil matters, viz., opening public roads, etc., but none of them relate to the conduct of officers provisionally in the discharge of their duties in enforcing the criminal law, On the contrary, all the authorities that I have seen are uniform in holding thatacourtof equity has no right tointerfere in such acase. Among the authorities to this effectare: High on snjunctions. secs. 68. 272, 1244. Moses vs, Mayor of Mobile, 52 Ala., 198; Davis vs. American Society, 75 N.Y.,362. K. C. Cable Railway Co. vs. Kansas City, 29 M. A, 89. Courts of equity sometimes entertain jurisdic- tion solely on the ground that it prevents a multi- tude of suits; and the plaintiff's counsel invokes the jurisdiction of the court this ground, claiming that such raid of police on the piaintiff’s business is 4@ separate trespass for which an independent action will lie. But a bill for an injunction on that ground, which is is never sustained where threatened suit is the daily continuation by the plaintiff him- self ofthe conduct which Is the subject of the controversy, and where there has been no final de- cision atiaw upon the merits. Kidridge vs. Hill, 2 Johns, chap. 2s]. It is also a doctrine of equity jurisprudenee that a cours of equity should not by injunction tie the hands of one of the parties to the controversy, and leave the other free todo the thing in dispute, in a case where, if on final hearing it should appear that the injunction was improvidentiy granted and is dis- solved, the Court is unable to undo the wrong that the injunction caused or ad- judge reparation to the party injured thereby. What kind ofa bond could the courts itn this case require of the plaintiffs? and what would its con- dition be? The character of a bond that would seem to be atall applicable would be one conditioned, inter alia, that the plaintiffs pending the injunc- tion would not violate the provisions of the criminal laws of the State in relation to the keeping of bucketshops. Could.a court of equity require such a bond as that? A court of equity should not assume jurisdiction ofa case where for any reason it appears that it would be unable to do complete justice between the parties in any outcome oftne case. It is essentially a civil court, having no criminal jurisdiction whatever, therefore it cannot try the question of whether the plaintiffs are guilty or not of the offense named. lam satisfied thatasa Chancellor I have no au- thority to interfere in this matter at all, and there- fore the application for a temporary injunction Is de- nied. the calleda bill of peace, the cause of the TRADING STOPPED. When the application for the injunction was applied for on Saturday last Judge Val- liant granted a restraining order pending the hearing of the case. Under this order the st.

When it opened this morning, however, trading in the min ing stocks, which isthe feature of the busi- ness attacked by the police, was not in- duiged in, 2 Manager Tracy was seen bya Post-Dts- PATCH reporter after the opinion was ren- dered and asked what he gs Mager doing. “I can’t do anything, said he, ‘‘but wait until the case is heard in the criminal courts. he case comes up in the Court of Criminal tion to-morrow, Weare not doing vy 4 stocks, as that is what. —— being attacked, but are running the same in other respeets,’’ Served the Wrong Man. A hitch was encountered to-dayin the in- junction suit brought by the Sonnenfeld Millinery Co. to restrain the Famous from maintaining a millinery branch in the new store when it starts up. The in- junction is applied foron the ground thata contract exists between the Sonnenfeld Co. and Famous, to the effect that Famous is not to deal in millinery before Sept. 1, 1898. It is claimed that the new management of Famous has con- tracted with Benjamin J. Strauss to main- taina millinery department in the new Fa- mous when it starts in a few weeks. In serving the paper a mistake was made and the wrong Strauss was served. This necessitates the delay of getting out new papers and looking up the right Benjamin J. Strauss, who is made a co-de- fendant in the case. SILK UMBRELLAS ($2.50 TO $15.) The finest stock in America For both ladies and gentlemen. MERMOD & JACOCOARD JEWELRY CO.

At 10:30 o’clock last evening Gabriel Jones, colored, and a crowdof white companions were having a gay time in an antiquated hovel on the brink of the Mississipp! River at the foot of Dock street. The night was dark inthat part of the world, and the electric lights had not pread their halo over the shanty. Thisis why none of the occupants ofthe house knew whence came a violent shock which caused the structureto quake and fall almost to pleces. Gabriel was the only one who had the courage to peer into the outer darkness. He claimed in his statementto Judge Paxson to-day in the Second District Police Court that it was ‘‘light ’nough to seea white man’s face,’’ and stated that he spied Delia Weaver and John Clark near the house engaged in the work of destruction, Officer Goodwin was summoned before the mansion was utterly destroyed and he arrested Clark and Della for disturbing the peace, Atthetrial to-day Gabriel made out a strong case against Della, alleging that she ‘had annoyed him a few hours before, and tried to evict him without process oflaw. Gabriel was positive that Clark also was a participant. - Clark, in his own behalf, claimed that he was not near the Gabriel Jones house when it was puiled about Gabriel’s ears. His father, Sidney Clark, added tothe force of the alibi, and Judge Paxson let Clark go free. Delia Wea- ver pleaded that the house was hers, be- cause. she alleges, Jones gave it to her in lieu of a laundry and housekeeping bill which he could not meet about a monthago.she had been his housekeeper she said upto that time, but he went away as soonas he trans- ferred the title of the house. Yesterday she was out washing from early morning until 5p. m., and when she returnedto her little homestead Jones was in possession and re- fused to vacate. She regarded him asa claim-jumper and orderd him torelieve the premises of his presence. He refG@sed, she claims, and she went to a neighbor’s ,jwhere she remained during the evening. Later, she was near the disputed house when a crowd attacked it with stones and partly de- molished it, but she did not ald In the assault in any way, she claimed. Judge Paxson thought otherwise, and fined her $15 as a re- minder of the great truth that everyone’s home is their castle. -_— Go Down the Line. Low Western Rates. $5.00.

John Snyder’s residence, No. 2613 Pine was entered by burglars Monday night and a large number of articles carried away. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are summering at Nantucket with most of their children. The house since their absence has been. in charge of Will Snyder, one of their sons, who is corresponding clerk at the Boatmen’s Bank. He was not at home last Monday night, and when he returned Tuesday night he found that the house had been Visited by burglars. Every closet and drawer: in the house had been opened and the con- tents out and thrown on Mr. Snyder does not there was in the house, and cannot, therefore, say how much clothing and silverware the burylars got, but doesn’t think they found much silverware. He misses ascarf pin, two revolvers anda bowle knife of hisown and some Knfves and forks. The housebreakers had taken their time in going through the rooms and had amused themselves in hanging up various articles of underclothing to the Chandeliers. Mr. Snyder found his father’s plug hats adorning the bedposts and fantastically fes- tooned with ribbons and feathers. The crown of one of the hats had been Knocked out. The burglars got into tne house by pry- ing open a cellar window, first removinga wire screen, Theclosets and drawers were pried open, mostly with pokers and Knives found in the kitchen.

A lady of fine artistic taste has discovered that at church parade her prayer- book, by tts incongruous color, entirely ruined the effect ofa carefully conceived costume. It struck a discord in an otherwise perfectly harmonious dress. Thfs has been remedied by having a cover to her prayer- book which shall be per- fectly in accord with the leading tone of her garments, The prayer-bDOOEK cover wlil hence- forth receive as attentive consideration is the bonnet, the gloves and the sunshade, and no jarring note of coior will be Intro. duced by means of a volume bound in blue velvet or in scarlet morocco. If this rule be applied to every day garments and to any volume that a lady may feel inclined to read, the business in fancy book covers cannot fail to be extensive. lor it is easy enougn to imagine that the most artistic arrangement of color may be at once ruined by its teteter happening to take in hand some garishly bedizened novel of to-day.

A Fine Performance of the “Bohemian Girl’’—The Olympic Opening. The last week of summer opera at Uhrig’s Cave is in many respects the best. The | Spencer opera company by long practice to- gether, as well as by reason of the high in- dividual excellence of the performers, has attained a degree of excellence seldom gained in summer opera companies. The rendition of the ‘‘Bohemian Girl,’’ which is onthe boards this week, is most excellent. Hoft as Thaddeus has materially added to his reputation, Miss Maconda makesa drawing Arline, andas the Gypsy Queen Miss May Baker has fairly outdone herself,a difficult feat. The audiences have been large and remarkably enthusiastic.

On Virginia roads in winter a man wtll sometimes get a ‘‘turn-over’’ on horseback; so no wonder parson andl, in a buggy, on our waytomy own wedding, had as com. plete a smash-up as had the ‘‘wonderful one- horse ey * As patching a smash-up requires time, and no little ingenuity, we found on arrival that the wedding guests and Annie, in her bridal array, had been awaiting me—the missing link—for some hours. Parson was 8 heavy built man and clumsy, and as 1 hurried him up the litthe porch steps the vine-clad structure trembied. He awk- wardly stumbled, and without a word of warning the roof, trellises andall collapsed, caving in and covering us with tangled honeysuckle and Madeira vines and lathing old enough to have had better manners. As Annie andthe bricemaids knew it was bad luckto putoff a wedding, in spite of bloody noses and bruised shins, we were fished out of the debris and stood up tn post- tion for the ceremony. I can’t understand why that old porch, which had never fallen down before, should have picked ‘‘sich a like time,’’ and made such a laughing-stock of us tliat there wasn’t a straight face among the audience. As we stood all washed and _ court- plastered for the ceremony, in dashed Ma- lindy, the cook, screaming that her ‘‘baby child was in de well.’’ We drew the fat little pickaninny out, half dead with terror, and then drew water to dash on cook, who was having spasms. Again in line, Annie Was just about to promise to ‘‘honor and obey’’ me when Billy- boy, swelled twice his usual biack size with the importance of his announcement, put in a woolly head atthe door and shouted the momentous words: ‘‘Pig’s out!’’ Every country boy knows what that means, but I will explain that the roast pig at that moment crowning the wedding feast, with lemon in his mouth, had a living comrade of amost Valuable and rare breed, purchased from adistance. And ‘‘Pig’s out!’’ meant certain loss of that valuable ‘‘little horg,’’ unless immediately raced, chased, ran down and recaptured. It took two mortal hours, and when I again stood by Annie’s side I had to mop my face, panting from the home run. During the progress of the wedding feast a temporary table, formed, I believe, of a door ingeniously covered with a cloth, laid across backs of chairs, gave way under a bushel of cups and saucers, but Wwe had vecome hard- — and did not regard that accident in the east. Annie and I started for our home under the regulation shower of rice and old sHppefs, thinking our troubles ended. At the first gate, without any rhyme or rea- son, a front whee! caved in, and I went back and borrowed father-in-law’s jumper. Be- fore we Were out of hearing there arose the dreadful cry of *‘Fire!’’ and I left Annie holding the reins, and ran leaping back to help putitout. It proved to be an old ont house, used on this occasion to roast the pig in, and we soon ‘‘downed’’ it. I hastened back to find Annie and the horse had both taken fright, and the horse was running away with her. That surely seems enough for any ‘‘happy pair,’’ but we were destined to have auother mischance, which proved a severe test of amiability. In the gloaming there was a stream to be crossed abouta mile from our new home. While lowering the reins forthe mare to drink [awkwardly dropped my hew whip, loaded inthe handle withlead. Itwent un.- der like a bullet, and the mare seemed to comprehend this and played upon us a very **horsey’’ practical joke. After swilling water tilil feared she would burst, she deliberately took her stand in the deepest place,and refused to budge oneincn. Night was upon US, Stars Were beginning to peep, and as words proved of no avail, I haa to get out and lead that mare ashore. I had, however, this one great consolation: through ali our tribulations Annie showed such thor.- ough patience and sweetness of temper that I understood from the V@ry beginning what a sunshiny little WomanI had won for life’s partner, A Sad Plight. From the New York Press. A tear stood in her bright blue oye, Her quivering lip told sorruow's tale, Hiers mingied with the zephyr's sich, Her bosem heaved, her cheek grew pale, .

Tne Great Help It Has Proved to Be in All Business, From the Electrical Engineer. A carpeting feature of long: distance tele- phony is the remarkable amount of business that can be crowded !ntoa very short con- versation. The fact that the communication . obtained isin actual conversation at first between the persons most direct- ly Mterested in the matter under dis- Cussion ig what renders the tele- phone so far superior to the tele- graph for many purposes. Question and answer areexchanged immediately without the annoying delays incident to telegraphic dispatches. Propositions can be made and commented on, modified or rejected, ina manner opy impossible by telegraph ; in fact, all the advantages of a personal inter- view are obtained without the expenditure of time andtrouble involved in a journey. Ntumerous instantes could be given of the number of business questions that ¢an be disposed of in a single talk over the wires within the minimum time of five minutes. Probably the best on record is that where two business men, one in New York and one in Boston, discussed and settled four entirely distinct affairs in one minute and a half. Two of the matters dealt witn involved large suius of money, but the men were able to lay their heads together, figuratively speaking, sO well, although literally they were so far apart, that it took them but a few seconds in each case to decide on what should be done. it Can readily be Imagined how many tele- erams would have been required to do the same amount of business, leaving entirely aside the question of time, which is so often of first importance. Every day cases occur where the long-distance telephone enables business to be done that the telegraph can- not aid, and where the only alternative would be a long and expensive journey. For instance, not long ago a New York man was notified that his drafton a houseina town farupin the interior of the State had been allowed to god to protest, and in order to protect his interests he was on the point of undertaking a journey that would have kept him away from his office for three days, when a friend advised him to telephone to the bank that held his draft. He didso tmme‘liately. The bank informed him of the state of affairs and recommended a lawyer inthe town to takethe jobin hand. He hadan interview by teleptione with the lawyer and gave him instructions to proceed, and the same after- noon the lawyer reported that he had got out an attachment and thatthe draft would be fully covered. Thetime spent by the New York man over the affair might have been an hour, and the total expense was for three conversations, one with the bank and two with the lawyer, as against an absence from town of two or three days and traveling ex- penses amounting to $40 or $5). The actual saving of time and money its by no means the only recommendation in favor of long-distance telephone communication. Often it renders possible the transaction of business which could be done in no other way, and many a time a five-minute con- versatton pays for ittselfa thousand fold. To manufacturers having their head offices in New York, branches tn other cities and towns and faetories somewhere inthe country the service has become practically tndispensable; the periodical daily talks between the chief of the firm and the manager of the factory or branch office piace all their affairs sO thoroughly in touch with each other that no manufacturing concern that has once adapted the service to its needs would be Without it for a single day were the cost twice whatitis. Bankers, brokers and law- yers form another large class of patrons, but it wasamong the manufacturers that the long-distance telephone first ‘‘caught on,’’ and they have steadily availed themselves of it fromthe time of its establishment as a commercial means of communication, ONE DAY OF REST. Mr. Wilkinson Fears Another Would Wind Him Up. Nixon Waterman in Chicago Times. Mr. Wilkinson started toa picnic last Fri- day with the Intention of having areal good time, He never does anything by halves. tie did not want to goto the picaie at all in the first place, because he said he could not spare thetime from business. He had not wasted a day in over seventeen years. His wife and children all insisted that he should go, however. **You are just breaking yourself down from ovorwork!’’ declared Mrs. W1lkinson, ‘‘and lexpect sometime you will be a com- plete physical wreck, and all because you won't takeaday off and picnic with your famfly.’’ ‘*It’s Just too bad poor papa niust work so hard,’’ remarked his daughter Mamie, and allthe other members ofthe family coaxed so much that he finally decided to devote one Qay to thoroughly refitting his nervous sys- tem and putting his muscles in first-class shape for another seventeen years of work. 4y the time the famtly reached the park the day had become very hot, but Mr. Wilkin- son did not mean to let a little sunshine keep him fromenjoying nimself. He was out for fan and he would have It. . A row onthe park iake was one of the first things that offered itself. The whole family mace quite a load, but Mr. W. was anxious to show them that the stories he had told about how he used to row when a boy were ali genuine. Hedidn’t discover until it wasto late that his hands were fearfully blistered and his nose and meck sunburned to a lurid red. Theft the family returned to the shady lawn, where the boys started a game of ball. Mr. Wilkinson used to be @ great player, sohe says, twenty yearsago. But he had lorgotten that the yarn ball has been super- seded by another that isa first cousintoa croquet ball. and whena hotfly came his way he foolishty pat out his hands to stop it. Fortunately no bones were broken, but a thumb was Knocked out of joint. This pre- vented him from further playing ball,so foot- ball was suggested. He was having lots of Mun at that, and was kicking the ball harder than anybody, when he made an awful drive at itand kicked a tree, laming his foot so that he had to retire from the game. The hammock was put up for him torest in, but in attempting to climb into it he showed his unfamiliarity with such things by letting it throw him violently to the ground, where he feil across the croquet box, sadly spraining his back. Then he had a couch made onthe grass, where he fought flies and ants and bues while the rest of the family had a fine time until the hour for returning home arrived. It was then he discovered that he had taxen a fearful cold from lying on the camp ground, and his limbs were stiffana almost immovable. However, he finally reached home and called a doctor, who prescribed for his blis- tered nose and neck and hands and his sprained hand and foot and back, and who gave him some pills and powders and pias- ters and something torelive his cold. With the aidofacabandacrutch he hopes to be sufficiently recovered from his day of rest to get down to his office to-morrow. Kestis sometimes a bad thing for one who is not accustomed to It. AN OFFICE-SEEKER’S FATE, He Wasted His Wealth in Looking fora Job and Came to Grief. From the Washington Post. In striped jail suits, resembling a veritable herd of human Zebras, the Washington chain fang pegged away with pickax and shovel, opening up the new roadway across the East- ern branch, It was a motley gangand repre- sented many phases of unfortunate human nature. There were tall men and short ones fat men ana siim ones. Beardless boys worked away under the glaring rays of the sun alongside of grandfathers with whitening beards and bending forms. Black and white mingled together in the striped crowd, Standing on one side of the partly tree-lineq roadWway was an aged prisoner whose face presented a strange combination of sadness and inteliMgence—a face that was once hand. some and inanly, but fs now furrowed by trouble and saddened by deep sorrow. ‘*Who ts he’’’ . This question was asked one of the stern- looking guards who hemmed in the chzin gang like a picket line. ‘*A disappointed office-seeker,’’ came the reply. ‘‘Same old story.

From the New York Tribune. They stood at the crossing of Fourth ave- nue and Eleventh street. The old lady was completely occupied with a bird cage on each arm, and the old man was obliged to deposit a@ parcel, two baskets and a satchel before he was able to wave one free hand at @ passing car. This latter act, how- ever, made necessary the gath- ering up of the bundles anew, and progress from the curb to the car was slow and painful. The old lady, whose natural stoutness Was tremendously aig- mented by the bird cage addittons, prudently took the car door sideways and secureda seat without mishap, though the car was somewhat crowded. Her husband, however, was only able to stagger on board, drop two satchels anda Dasket on the platformand gasp for breuth. The other basket was a large covered one, and he clung to it with such solicitude as to excite the irritated conductor’s suspicions: ‘*What have you got?’’ he demanded, **None of your business.’”’ **Yes, itis. What’s In that basket?’’ **l won’t tell you,’’ **It’s a dog.’’ ‘*’'Tain’t, i **Cat, then?’’ os7oTain’t.?* **Yes, itis. Get off the car.’’ ‘*I won’t’’ said the old man stoutly, hug- ging his precious basket and pushing inside the car. **Get off, or I’ll put you off,’’ said the con- ductor roughly. ‘‘Nodogs allowed on these ears.’’ And he reached for the strap. ‘*You leave that old man alone,’’ calleda muscular man up toward the front. ‘*‘Mind your business,’’ snapped the con- a He’s got a dog, and he’s got to get Oo x2 ‘‘He hasn’t a dog. He hasn’t a dog,’ screamed the old woman, peering excitedly over the bird-cages. ‘**T haven’t a dog,’’ echoed her husband. ‘*Leave the old man alone,’’.yelled the muscular passenger. ‘‘You wouldn’t dare to monkey witha young man. Come out and Settle it wid me!’’ The conduetor made no reply to this seduc- tive invitation, but by a quick movement he pried upthe lid of the basket, intending to look in, but’ before that was possible out pened the green and solemn head of a large parrot, ‘The new arrfval ealmly surveyed the aston- ished car and then remarked: ‘*How do you alldo? Polly want a cracker? Everything goes?’’ This last remark may have been suggested by the conductor. ; He was already on the back platform, gazing pensively down Fourth avenue. **Dog hey?’’ came sbrilly from behind the bird cage barricade. ‘‘Stopthecar! Put us off! No dogs allowed! You poer noodle, sure ’tain’tacat?’’, GAME IN AUSTRALIA. it Rapidly Increases, While the Natives Are Dying Off. . From the San Francisco Chronicle. Maj. Alexander F. Inglis of the English army, who has just returned froma hunting expedition in Australia, Was seen at the Pal- ace vesterday. The Maior said: ‘*l am inclined tothink that coincident with the rapid extinction of the abcrigines the native fauna will soon become more aban- dant. Infact, this is already quite noticea- ble tothe sportsman who ventures far into the interior. I have been out nearly three years, and I notice that the reckless slaughter of pregnant and very young anl- mais has decreased as the native has be- come less omnipresent. Kangaroos are De- coming much more pientiful. This winter’s sport has been the best | bave had, whilein the valleys and slopes of the Kosciusko range some fine specimens of the Australian bear were killed, besides wallaby and other gaine. The poor native is in a sorry plight. Year by vearhe retreats further toward the great desert, and his former habitants are almost deserted. Every effort to civilize him, to get him to work or help himself seems unavail- ing.

Carroll and Moran Are Fined $50 Each —Gore Will Give Way to Browning if the Gladiator Can Be Found—Von der Ahe Wearing War Paint — Nancy Hanks’ Race—£porting News. Von der Ahe’s Brown Stocking aggrega- tion that misrepresents St. Louisin the Na- tional League went completely to pieces yes- terday. Evidences of decrepitude have not been at all conspicuous for their absence dur- ing the past month and when the dissolution came, as it did yesterday, it was no surprise tothe mourners. The only persons it took unexpectedly were the players themselves and their estute manager-president. It is a strange sad factthat upto yesterday there were certain members gfthe St. Louis Club who lived under the f delusion that they were ball players. For some of them there was a groundwork for the idle fabric of their dreams. Itis recorded in the ancient history of the game, about the time old **Uncle Anse’’ was in his prime that George Gore, centerfielder, , was a slugger of renown. Tradition has handed down similar stories concerning one Farmer Carroll. But what excuse, pray, has Moran for existence as a ball tosser. Lucky forallof them Von der Ahe labored under a like delusion and his suspicions are responsible for their drawing salary. All things come to an end and nothing more quickly thandreams. Von der Ahe was dehypnotized yesterday. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the ‘‘comedy of errors’’ with his two great(?) outfielders in the star parts. The disenchantment had eset in and it dawned. on Vondy that Gore and Carroll, though names to conjure within bygone days, had outlived theis use- fulness. The Boss President is not lethargic. He was fully aroused, and sitting onthe bench among his players he gave voice to his newly formed opinions for the delectation of the spectators. On the hapless heads of Moran, Carrolland Gore he poured out the viais of his wrath and threatened them with unutterable things. After the game he vis- ited the reporters’ room ard informed them that a change had come o’er the spirit of his dream and he intended to deal severely with his players. There was a settled air of gloom around the Park this morning, and in the office Mr. Von} der Ahe sat with a knit brow and a look of Merce determination. ‘‘I’ve fined Carroll and Moran $50,’’ were his first words. **On what grounds?’’ **General indifference and rotten playing.’’ **What about Gore?’’ A look of keen disappointment sWept over his face at the mention of Gore’s name, but Mr. Von der Abhe restrained himself, and answered significantly: ‘‘Wait till) Browning comes. I tell you,’’ he broke out,’’ ‘‘I an geiting gray-haired over this situation. I’ve put my money 1i:tu base ball here and tried my best to get a team of good players together, but I have been deceived. I acknowledge that some of them have been miserable failures. Il will not put up with their play any longer. 3 will keep trying new men until I strike good anes. Wolfeisa good batter. He joins us to-day. I’ve gota man scouring Indiana after Pete Browning and I want another good catcher andasecond baseman. What will ldo with Gleason? Well,I will have noth- ing to with him until he comes back and gives his promise to do good work. I have been over kind to him and he has not acted i fairly the last month, but if he comes back and squares himself he can rest assured of better treatment than he really deserves.’’ Yesterday’s exhibition baffles description, If the Browns had the jaundice they couldn’t have played yellower ball. It was an absolute burlesque on the game. The spectators jeered the players and managed to extract fun out oftheirattempts at play- ing. Considerable amusement was caused by a lusty lunged spectator on the top floor of the grand stand, who attempted to usurp the office of coachers He was slienced at the request of the umpire. Inthe silence that reigned while the bases were full in the second inning consequent on Gore’s exhibition of muffing,a well known ‘‘rooter’’ took occasion to deciare himself. His re- marks were not complimentary to either players or. management, but he was yen a round of applause (for his ittle oration. Farmer Carroll created great amusement in the sixth inning by catching the sphere in his pocket, after he had repeatedly failed to connect with it in the authorized manner. ‘lhe worst of it was the ball stuck there and the batter made three bases before the flelder could extri- cate it. The summary will tell the story: Brooklyn, 11; St. Louis, 3. Krrors—Brooklyn, 8; 8t. Louis, 12. Base Hits—Brooklyn, 11; St. Louis, 3. SALARIES MUST COME DOWN. President George Wagner of the Washing: ton team delivered himself of the following portentous opinions a few days ago: *‘*‘It may be considered certain that as far as base ballis concerned everything will be the same in the League next year as it is this year. WhatImeanisthbat the same general principles will operate. There will be two seasons and a twelve-ciub league. That much is certain: . **But we must have base ball down to thor- oughly business principies. We must have salaries cut down commensurate with the receipts. Itisimpossibleto continue paying salaries if the money does not come in at the gate. This is the third year thatl have been in the business, and my brother and myself have lost enormously in the two past years and we will lose again. Our books will show that inthe Athletic Club alone we sunk $76,000 and had nothing to show for it at the finish. Nobody likes to pay big salaries better thanI do, butif the club does not make the money I can not con- tribute $20,000 or $30,000a year to the busi- ness. If the receipts would warrant it I would bein favorof paying good players $5,000a year. Ifallcities were like Pittsburg we might get along, but they are not. **It is certain, therefore, thata general re- duction of salaries will be made before next season Comes. ‘This must be done, and every capitalist in the business knows it.’’ YESTERDAY’S GAMES.

Ten thousand people rent the Chicago air with their shouts of jubilation at Washington Park yesterday when Nancy Hanks flew un- der the wire a victor in her magnificent struggle against old Father Time. Bonner’s peerless daughter of Harold, Maud 5., for seven years the queen of the turf, has been deposed from her proud position, and Nancy Hanks now reigns in her stead. It was an ideal trotting Gay cloudless and warm, The track dusty and fast, the marein perfect condition. At 8 o’olock she was given a warming up. Promptly at5 o’clock shecame outon the track, Budd Dobie sitting behind her ina 6242 pound sulky with bali bearings and neumatic tires, Frank Starr sat behind he pace-maker, Abe Lincoln, Doble nodded to Starter Walker at the second attempt and amid intense silence from the spectators in stand the mare moved over n d with the Anaad 4 of clock- work up bis groun @t a lightning-like e quarter was made fh 8la—a i went up from the-grand stand as the watches recorded the half in 1:0342, but Starter Walker waved them into silence; 1:364¢ Was regis- tered at the three-quarter post. In the siience Doble could be heard gently urging her asthefinish wasin sight. Faster than the evecould distinguish flew the untram- meled feet. There wasa moment of silence asthe pattering hoofs swept under the wire and then bedlam broke loose. Nancy had lowered the record a full second. Nancy Hianks is a bay mare, 6 years old, 15% hands high and was sired by Happy Me- dium outof a Dictator mare. She weighed yesterday 870 pounds. Doble feels confident that the mare will yet win the $5,000 prize of- fered by Mr. Bonner for the first mile in 2:05. There will be no disputing the recordon the score of the track, butsome claimthat the rubber tire is three seconds faster than the kind Maud 8. used and that Nancy Hanks must go three seconds faster than Maud 8. to equal her.

A well-known Western sporting man went East expressly to sev the two prize fighters in training, Hissummary Of both men gives a mecter estimate of their probable worth than the colored ac- count sent out by the men’s trainers. He says: ‘*I visited John L. Sullivan frst and was somewhat surprised to see bim looking so well. Ilis trainer, Delaney, told me that John weighed 212 pounds Thursday last; he may have been heavier than that, but of course Delaney ought to kn best. I saw the big fellow st Ne bal His flesh was Ue. 8 ach is not as big as_ som given the public to’ understand. He has no paunch and his stomach 1s level with his chestalmost. sut he is not like & man thor- oughly trained by any means. He has not that hard and tough appearance t served in a well-trained and ditioned man. Still he is in tolera | “T saw him fighting the bag, 8nd let me ™ Ferme ws ‘iItasa right, ditioned {list in my life than he was when I met pias. — J ment he is in perfect condition much too soon, ‘He weighs now 185 pounds, and before the day of the fight arrives he fs very liable to get stale. He cannot bein an better con- dition than he now is, and in three weeks he issure togo backa little. I saw him work and he did extremely well. He hits the bag with remarkable force; hard enough to knock a bigger man than Sullivan down. ‘*«OCorbett.is an ideal pugilist up to his head, and I confess I.do nut like his head, It is not a pugilist’s head and it leads me to believe that he will not stand the ‘gaff,’ as the voeg ingis. Iam inclined to think that he lacks in pluck and that is the reason he. does not get near enough to an opponent to make his — vbiows tell, and he has a powe ow.’ The account is certainly authentic and gives good ground for figuring on the out- come of the battle. If Sullivan is soft he will have to finish his man inside of ten rounds, but if Corbett can avoid him in the early part of the battle the contest may end ina draw, if it does it will be because of Cor- bett’s refusal to stand up and fight. Just what Corbett expects to gain by this Is not apparent totrue sportsmen, who have ad- miration only for true grit. Sullivan has had sufficient experience to reguiate his tactics by his condition. He is going intothis his last battleto win or die. if he finds himself soft he knows it must be a quick fight and his friends are confident he will finish the Californian in a few rounds. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. George Schultz says he will fight Jimmy Casey for $1,000 aside and any purse a Uali- fornia club will offer. The winner of the Greggains-Costello fight will be matched to fight Bob Fitzsimmons before the Olympic Club of New Orleans in November. Joe Goddard has challenged the winner of the Sullivan-Corbett fight, and has asked the Coney Island Athietic Clubto putupa purse of $25,000. George Dawson has refused to meet *‘Billy’’ Maher. He says Maher will have to defeat some of the men he has fought before he will give him a chance. ‘*Billy’’ Murphy, the Australian feather- weight pugilist, is going to New Orleans with bis championship belt and will challenge the winner of the Dixon-SkKeily fight. Tommy Tracey,the champion welter-weight pugilist of Australia, has arrived at Frisco. He challenges any 140-pound man in Ameri- ca. Tracey defeated Tom Williams, who beat George Dawson in Australia, Willlams re- cently defeated Harry Nickless in England, The reports from Bay St. Louis to the effect that Jack McAuliffe had hecome careless in his training are exaggerated,thougnh he is far from ready to fight, weighing 154 pounds, sixteen pounds of which he will have to lose between now and Sept. 5. *‘*Tom’’ Redshaw, the 112-pound ex-ama- teur champion pugilist of England, wants to fight **Tom’’ Daly before either the Califor- nia or the Coney island Athletic clubs. hKed- shaw asks for $150 expenses. He agrees to fight at 114 pounds, give or take two pounds, the contest to take place within six months after siening articles. **Alex’’ Greggains says he will goto Aus- tralia and fight ‘‘Dan’’ Creedon, win or lose with Costello, Both Greggains and Costello are in fine fettle for their fight in the Pacific Club on the 23d inst. Costello was at weight’ when he went into training, so that he has been working principally to strengthen his wind and toughen his hands, ATHLETICS, In connection with the fifth annual regatta of the Missouri Amateur Rowing Association, which willbe held onthe Mississippi River Saturday, Aug. 27, at Clifton Terrace there willbea tub and swimming race between Mr. Arthur Bosch and Paul Welss, the all around athlete, wrestler, 16-pound! shot, hammer, 56-pound weight and local amateur champion high jumper and heavy litter.

The probabilities are that the temperature to-morrow will be decidedly lower than it is to-day. Adecline is expected to set in to- night and the. predictions are that to- morrow the maximum will not exceed 70. The area of low pressure is advancing fast from. the Northwest, and while it wiil not extend as far South as was originally anticipated, its influence will be most dis- tinctly feltin St. Louls. ‘lhere is Httle Mkeli- hood of rain, and should any fall it will prob- ably be in the form of drizzling showers. In the far Northwest the temperature Is falling fast, and the likelihood is that at least several ph of cool weather are in store for St. ouls, Will The Olympic Opening. The sale of seats for the beginning of the season next weekat the Olympic Theater opened to-day and will continue throughout the week.

Chief Harrigan received another letter to- day from Mary Duff—the twentieth this year, She has just been released from the City Hospital, and writes to the Chief as follows: **Sir, you are not quite so smart as you wanted to be. It needs Dr. Marks to see through this jobbery. ‘ Heisa Hebrew anda gentleman. Now show this to the newspaper men, if youlike.

When the Chicago Anarchists were executed she draped her windows with crepe, and bas since then attracted public attention in divers ways. She claims to be an astrologer, and her letters to the police are generally filled with references to ‘*hoo- doos’’ and ‘*vyoudoos.’’” Mary was sent to Work-house for vagrancy last spring. ae ; Struck the Crossing Gates.
