HIGHT AND DAY THE WORK OF RESCUE eves GOES ON. Seenes Aboutthe Pit’s Mouth When the Bodies Were Brought to the Surface— The Mine Was a Sea of Fire—Story Told by One of the Men Saved From Death— The Sibley Yecht Hoax—Ca*ualities. LONDON, Aug. 27.—All night long the volun- teer rescuing parties kept up their work at the Park Slip pit, the scene of the disastrous explosion at Bridgen in Wales, yesterday. They worked with awill and removed an enormous quantity of debris from the mine. At 6o’clock this morning they had penetrated 900 yards into the main shaft. In all this dis- tance nota sign of life was discovered, but here andthere the body of a miner was found, Some of the men had died in the very act of using their picks. Ten bodies were re- covered of men who did not have a second’s warning of the fate hanging over them. All who were killed in this locality had, however, not met with instant death. The bodies of two miners were found who had apparently made frantic efforts to escape from the pit. They had been frustrated by the falling rocks of the mine,and their bodies were terribly mutilated. Crushed to death they were swept over by the raging fire that burned out many of the timber supports, and their arms, legs and heads, that had not been protected by the fallen earth, were hor- ribly burned. The rescuers were divided into relief squads, andit was impossible for any of the volunteers to work for any length of time, as the mine is filled with damp. SAVED FROM DEATH. While a band ofthe rescuers were working their way further Into the mine, a sound was heard that caused the workmen to suddenly suspend operations. Eagerly listening they waited a repetition of the sound. Soon it came, low and weak, but in sufficient volume to make the rescuers know that somebody behind the fallen rock and earth was alive. With a hearty cheer in response, the rescuers again bent to their task with renewed energy. Word was passed tothe pit mouth and soon intelligence spread around the district that some of the imprisoned miners were yet alive and that they would be saved. In a short time there was a scene of the wildest excitement above the pit mouth. Women and children who had stood about all day yesterday waiting to see if the bodies of husbands and fathers would be brought to the surface, ran to the pit, and in eager, strained voices, asked if the news was true. W hen assured that it was the scene about the pit was a wonderful one. Far below the surface of the ground the sturdy rescuers continued their difficult task. Slowly they dug their way forward, careful that the debris did not fall uponthem. At last they determined to change their mode of operation and todig asortoftunnel. Creep- ingand sometimes lying flat on their stom- achs they advanced, while those behind kept the tunnel clear. For many yards they thus dug forward, cheered and encouraged by the sounds heard now and then showing the sur- vivors knew they were approaching. Some ofthe women fellon their Knees and prayed that their husbands might be among those wholived. Others, still doubtingthe good news, stood perfectly still and gazed with fixed eyes on the burned and bDilackened mouth of the pitas though they expected to see the gupposed lost men emerge from it. BURNED AND BRUISED. Atlast the separating bank of rock and earth fell inward and the rescuers, still crawl- ing, entered an open space in which were huddled together a number of the minerg who had been imprisoned since yesterday morning. It was as thoughthe grave hail given upitsdead. The rescuers found that most of theircomrades had been badly in- jured and burned. So serious indeed ts their condition that special arrangements’ will have to be madeto get them from the pit. Slings and other appliances are being hastily yet carefully prepared to raise the saved men from the pit. The after dampisso bad that the work of rescue is often retarded, the volunteers be- ing driven out of the excavations until the airimproves. It is said that some of the im- prisoned men were unconscious when found, while others were in a dazed condition. The women about the pit mouth are becoming distracted and are begging with piteous cries for the officers to hurry the work. ‘They fear something more will happento the men. It is needless to say that everything possible ts being done to recover the bodies of the dead and also the living. THIRTY-NINE SAVED. At 1:80 o’clock this afternoon another dls- patch was received from bBridgen stating that thirty-nine of the imprisoned miners had: been rescued and brought to the pit- head. The scene when they reac¥ed the sur- face was indescribable. When they were recognized by their wives, mothers or sweet- hearts they were frantically embraced and kissedagain and again. Their arrival at the surface, though it brought joy to many hearts, brought deep sorrow and despair to others, It was painfui to witness the looks of agony and despair on the faces of some of the women and chiljren when they saw their husbands an athers were not among the rescued. Sadly they turned away and with heavy hearts walked away. Yheir despair was not hopeless, however, forthe fescue of thirty-nine led to the belief that perhaps others in tle mine had escaped and were awaiting the coming of their rescuers. The work of clearing the galleries is being pushed as rapidly as the atmosphere of the pit will permit. One of the rescued miners said: ‘‘Kighteen of us got together in a level after the ex- plosion. We could hear the flames rouring through the mine. After a time we tried to get out, but were driven back by the sulphur fumes. Three of them thought they could rush through thelevel. They crawled and picked their way until they reached a com- ely good place, when they started to run. They had gone only a short distance when all three were overcome by the gas and fell, It was impossibie to save them and they died where they fell,’’ te ved | fourteen of them waiting for the party to dig them out. « —— THE SIBLEY YACHT SAFE. REPORTED LOSS OF THE PLEASURE CRAFT A HOAX. SAGINAW, Mich., Aug. 27.—Hiram W. Sibley of Rochester, N. Y., who was reported drowned in Georgian Bay with a party on board the yacht Wapiti, sent a telegram from Montreal to-day stating that the story is a canard and that all of the party is safe. The yacht is anchored in Collinswood, in qthe harbor where the party had left it to takea tripto Montreal. The story of its wrecking and the drowning of all on board was started —— half- breed cook who was left at Mack- Those on board the yacht were Hiram B. Sibley, the millionaire seedsman of Roches- ter, N. ; Mrs. H y, Sibley, Miss Ruth Sibley, Master Harper Sibley, Miss Marie B, Pond, Rochester, N.

Y., Aug. 27.—The report in the morning papers of the accidental drown- ing of Hiram W. Sibley and family is untrue. A dispatch received this morning from Mr. Sibley is self-explana- tory: MONTREAL, Quebec, Aug. 27. Mrs. Hiram Sibley, Rochester, N. Y.: Report in morning newspapers an absurd canard. All well and happy. Came here to meet Mr. Koe. Return to yacht on Monday. IRAM,. SIBLEY WILL INVESTIGATE. ‘MONTREAL, Quebec, Aug. 27.—H. W. Sibley, the New York capitalist, and his wife, son and daughter, Mrs. M. B. Pond and Miss Durbin, Rochester, N. Y., are at the Windsor Hotel, and not at the bottom of the Georgian Bay, as falsely reported. Mr. Sib- ley declares that he and his party are the victims of a cruei hoax, which he intends to investigate tothefuliest extent. The yacht Wapiti left Mackinaw onthe 2ist inst., and after an extremely pleasant trip, Mr. stbley says, reached Collingwood, Ontario, where she was left in charge of the crew. STRUCK BY A TRAIN. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 27.—Two men in aspring wagon were crossing the track at the intersection of the Baltimore & Ohio Rall- road and the turnpike at Hyattsville (a sub- urb of Washington) about 10:45 last night, when a local train came along. The engineer claims that he sounded his whistle for the crossing, but several parties who were near say they failed to hearit. The gateman had just left, and there was no light at the cross- ing. The train struck the wagon. One of the men, identified as Mr. Waite Brown of Bettsville, was dragged some distance and frightfully mangled. He was brought to this city by the St. Louls express, but died at the station before he could be removed toa hos- pital. His companion, not yet identified, wasinstantly killed. Both horses were killed. The wagon was smashed toatoms. The train was running about forty miles an hour when it struck the vehicle. TUG SUNK. New York, Aug. 27.—The tug Cornelia, lying atthe foot of Baltic street, Brooklyn, sprung aleak early this morning and imme- diately sank. The engineer, William P. Seid, was drowned. CASUALTY RECORD.

Inso!vent Loan and Savings’ Associations at Buffalo. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 27.—A sensation, sec- ond only to that caused by the failure of the National Savings Bank, was created this morning by the announcement that State Bank Examiner Whitten had found two sav- ings and loan associations practically insol- vent, and that many others are in an unsafe condition. The associations reported as in- solvent are the Third Ward Permanent Sav- ings and Loan Association and the Erle County Permanent Savings and Loan As- sociation. Examiner Whitten has been giv- ing his attention to the savings, building and loan associations since the books ofthe Na- tional Bank were straightened out. Up to the present time he has examined six of these associations, among them Being two known as “‘dime associations,’’ where dues are paid in at the rate of 10 cents a week on each share, and which are run on what Is known as the permanent plan. He found that these were in very bad shape, and has so re- ported to the Banking Department. ‘*These associations,’’ Mr. Whitten says, ‘thave been doing an entirely illegal busi- ness. Their system was merely making false entries on somebody’s books. They have been dividing ana paying money representing a premium which could only be earned so much per annum during the life ofaloan. The loan usually ran from ten to twelve years. Profits were declared the very night money was sold.° Ihey were anticipating profits by twelve years. These concerns should be wound up at once. There are probably eighty of these ‘permanent dime’ associa- tions, and I shall not be surprised to find most of them in pretty bad shape. The larger associations are in good condition and run their business on a sound business basis of a dividend each six months on what has been actually earned,’’ Mr. Whitten is awaiting the action o7 the Banking Department In regard to these two associations.and is continuing his examina- tion of other concerns doing business in a similar way. Mr. Whitten says there are too many loan associations in the city—inall about one hun- dred and twenty-five—whereas if there were but fifteen or twenty they couid afforé to hire expert accountants, instead of being con- ducted by people ignerant of bookkeeping, The Third Ward Association owes its share- holders $63,000 and the Efie County $105,000, LOGGING COMPANY IN TROUBLE. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.—The Quinnesec Log- ging Co., with heakquarters at Iron Mount- ain, has become insolvent. The company is backed chiefly by Marquette capital. The road was recently transferred to Francis A. Brown. & Co. ,the senior member of which wasto "ct as Superintendent. The fallure has created great surprise in logging circles, No figures as to assets and liabilities are given. Pay Day at Homestead.

A lady, while traveling from Hamburg, was seized with cholera and taken to the Mobait Hospi- tal. Whilethe authorities are enforcing the most rigid sanitary precautions they profess to be satisfied that the cholera will make no serious progress in Berlin. There is no present panic among the peo- ple and a general disposition to obey the san- itary regulations. The trains at the Russian frontier, where access is permitted, are most carefull y inspected and all persons from the districts in which cholera has been prevalent are debarred from enteringGermany. Trav- elers from St. Petersburg represent that there is no panic in that city and that the inhabitants, generally, are satisfied that the cholera has done its worst. The approach of frost is anxiously awaited as likely to put a stop to the further spread of the pestilence, LONDON ALARMED, ANOTHER DEATH REPORTED AT THE GRAVESEND HOSPITAL. LonpDon, Aug. 27.—It was announced this morning that another passenger who ar- rived at Gravesend on the steamer Gemma, which: arrived Thursday from Hamburg had died from cholera at the Gravesend Hospital. There is deep indigation at the carelessness of the medaical officers who inspected and passed the Gemma, particu- larly in view of the fact that they had been ordered to be most searching in their examination of. vessels from infected ports. The whole affairs shows, however, how ut- terly useless quarantine regulations are un- less the officers charged withtheir enforce- ment are intelligent enough to know the danger to which they expose the whole people if they do not properly fulfil the duties intrusted to them. Considerabie un- easiness has been created by the knowledge that some ofthe Gemma’s passengers are in London. The whereabouts of all of them are not known to the authorities, but a strict watch will be mg = bY all the medical) and sanitary officials for the first appear- ance of the disease. It is considered that an outbreak is inevitable. At the port of Leith, near Edinburgh,which has extensive shipping communication with Hiamburg and other ports onand near the North Sea,a man and woman were taken sick last evening and developed symptoms of Asiatic cholera. ON THE DANUBE. BUDAPEST, Aug. 27.—Several Hungarian newspapers deciare thata number of cases of true Asiatic cholera have occurred at the Iron Gates ofthe Danube. and that the out- break of the disease has been concealed by the authorities, QUITTING THE CITY OF HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Aug. 27.—The Vossische Zeitung says: ‘‘There is no apparent decrease in the cholera in spite of the cool weather. The disease has appeared on the islands in the Fibe. Hundreds .of wealthy people have quitted the city. The dearth of doctors Is severely felt. Several nurses have died. The school attendance has dwindled to only 4 per cent of the usual figures.’’ _The oficial cholera statistics show that on Thursday there were 290 new cases ofcholera reported inthe city and 180deaths. Up to noon yesterday there were 183 bnew cases and seventy-eight deaths. These figures indicate a large increasein both the newcases and the deaths. All the schools are now closed. The bourse to-day was thinly attended,and the general business of the city Is beginning to suffer irom the presence of the epidemic. A DEATH AT ROTTERDAM. ROTTERDAM, Aug. :6.—Every precaution has been taken here to prevent the introduc- tion of cholera, but notwithstanding all the efforts of the authorities the disease has effected an entrance into the city. The first death from the disease, that of a woman, occurred here this morning, : SPREADING OVER RUSSIA, ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27.—The official re- turns show that throughout Russia yesterday there were reported 6,953 new cases of cholera, 3,320 deaths from the disease. This is an in- crease of 631 new cases and 285 deatls as com- pared with Thursday’s figures. in 8t. cases of the disease were reported yesterday. The deaths numbered 29. Compared with Thursday’s figures this is an increase of fiVe new cases and five deaths. FIVE NEW CASES AT ANTWERP. ANTWERP, Aug. 27.—Five new cases of chol- era have been reported here since yesterday morning. One death has been reported. The authorities do not cousider it mecessary to opel a lazaretto. THIS SIDE THE OCEAN. INSPECTING SHIPS ARRIVING AT NEW YORK FROM HAMBURG, NEW YorK, Aug. 27.—The steamer La Tou- raine, Capt. Frangual, from Havre, arrived at Quarantine at 65:30 o’clock this morn- ing. She was boarded soon afterwards by Health Officer Jenkins, accompanied by his deputies. On boardingthe La Touraine her surgeon reported all wellon board and no sickness Whatever. The passenyvers, both steerage and saloon, were subjected to a close inspection by the heaith officers. There were no deaths nor no sickness during the voyage. The steamer Gellert of the Hamburg- American Line, which sailed from Hamburg on the l4th inst., and Havreon the 17th, ar- rived below at an early hour this morning and is still (9 a. m.) at Quarantine. It does not follow, however, that there is any sickness aboard her though such may be the case. The Quarantine officials are, no doubt, paras the Gellert through a severe inspection and this would account for her de- tention at the station. The Gellert is nut one of the first-class steamers of the line, and she usually has many emigrantson board when arriving here. ager Boaz of the Royal Netherlands line stated this morning that all steerage traffic between New York and burg on their line had ceased. to-day received @ report from immigration commissioners at Baltimore in relation to the sickness that occurred among the pas- sengers of the steamer Presden, which ar- rived at Baltimore from Bremen at noon on the 25th inst. Commissioner stockbridge re- ed that the vessel passed the quarantine ion and was pronounced in perfect ry condition. The immigrants were aiso inspected and passed by the surgeon of the Marine Hospital at tne port. Later in the evening two of the passengers were taken with cramps and vomiting anda little later two others were also taken sick. The Marine Hospital surgeon was promptly summoned and at his suggestion Dr. Mc- Shane, the local Health Commissioner. was also summoned, At e® same _ time allingress to and egress from the building was stopped, the sick removed to the ship an all passengers detained . for thirteen hours. The usual remedies in the case of cY&AMps were administered tojthe sick, the doctors all concurring that the iliness was cramps, broughton by the over-eating of fruit... Atthe expiration of the time above mentioned, those who had been taken sick have recovered, and no other sickness has appeared, and with the approval of the *health authorities, the passengers were re- leased and allowed to proceed to their desti- nation. E | DISINFECT THE MAILS. WASHINGTON, D..0., Aug. 27,—The Superin- tendent of Foreign Malils has received from the Postmaster at New York a communica- tion requesting instructions as to the adop- tion of precautionary measures to prevent the introduction into this country through the malis of cholera,now epidemic tn various parts of Europe. The department has instructed Postmaster Vancott to confer with the health officers at New York and to communicate at once what measures are regarded as necessary. Itis stated that there will be prompt and cordial co-operation between the department and the neeite officers at New York in the matter. MEANS OF ENTRANCE. CHOLERA CAN INVADE THIS COUNTRY BY TWO ROUTES. NEw ORLEANS, La,, Aug. 27.—Mr. Joseph Holt, one of the most distinguished sanitary scientists in the United States, in an inter- view regarding cholera, said: ‘‘I feel con- fident that if the cholera finds lodgment on the North American continent it will come either by way of the Atlantic seaboard or the St. Lawrence River. I had thought that the quarantine system of the St. Lawrence was keeping up its well-established prestige asa thoroughly scientific sanitary institution, but from very recent authority it has fallen into a condition of alarming inefficiency in equip- ment. As for New York and other ports aiong the Atlantic seaboard, excepting Charleston, 8. C., their methods and equipments are woefully inadequate to their necessities. They are, in fact, as revealed by this emer- gency, mere political office rewarding stations, whose methods are a perfunctory make believe to hoodwink the public witha show of importance. while in fact they lack every element of scientific requirement and trustworthiness. When I consider the ex- tent of the exposed or very imperfectly pro tected line of Atlantic seaboard, including the St. Lawrence, the situation appears to me to be one of tre extremest gravity. I will regard itas only little short of a miracle if the cholera’ fails to follow its old and accus- tomed line of travel, involving the invasion of this continent. If we escape, it will only be through an awakening to the pertilous situation and by extraordinary efforts in the immediate enforcement of rational and scientific methods of defense, as will be made in our own quarantine system,.’’ - ‘FOREIGN NEWS.

FIVE PERSONS INJURED AND MANY SAID TO BE MISSING. Firemen Buried Beneath the Debris of Falling Walle—Names of Those Injured and Sent to Hospitals—Complete De- struction of the Metropolitan Opera- House — Works of Art in Ashes— Amount of the Losses. New York, Aug. 27.—This has been a day of disastrous fires in New York. Shortly after the alarm called the fire brigade to the Metropolitan Opera-house, flames broke out in the large five-story brick building, Nos. 120, 122, 124 and 126 Wooster street, which ex- tends through to Nos. 120 and 122. Prince street. Over 100 persons were in the building when the fire brake out, and many were injured in escaping. Many are missing, but the number injured can- not be learned yet. The fire originated in the basement of the building occupied by the United States Frame & Picture Co., and spread with alarming rapidity. The inmates fled through all available exits but many were injured in their efforts to escape. The following injured are reported: WILLIAM SPERRY, address unknown, back, head and shoulders burned. MaRY E. HaNLBY, 83 Caltherine street, seri- ously burned; will die. AUGUSTA EAGERSON, burned and bruised. MARY GUINSEOO, 219 Thompson street, body burned. FIREMAN STACK, Engine Company No, frightful injuries by falling wall. FIREMAN LANGWASSER, Engine Company 33, injuries by falling wall. The injured were removed to St. Vincent’s Hospital. The fire started about 10 o’clock in the basement and soonthe entire building was ablaze. Meanwhile, from the windows, by fire escapes and by the roof to the adjoining bullding those in danger made their escape. A third and a fourth alarm followed the first in short order. Wm. Sperry, one of the injured, an em- ploye of the United States Frame Co., in whose cellar the fire began, ran up-stairs to the top of the floor to save a girl to whom he was soon to be married. He was overtaken by the flames and escaped tothe floor through the scuttle of the bullding No. 114 Wooster street. Mary Hanley, who is so fatally burned, fled to the roof of 108 Princestreet and was taken down a ladder by a fireman. She was terribly burned and unable to speak when piaced in an ambulance. Fireman Langwasser was ona ladder when the walls swayed. The wall fell before he could get out of the way. He was picked up badly injured anc removed to St. Vincent’s Hospital. Augusta Eagesser, who lives at 118 Spring street, plunged from a window into the street. Iler body was badly bruised and her face and arms were burned. It is now thought that allthe rest ofthe employes are in safety. Shortly before midday, when the fire was pretty well under control, about a dozen firemen were sent up the fire escape of No. 122 to direct a _e stream. When they had reached the third story the front wall began to bulge and before the men could escape they were hurled intothe street. About six were car- ried down with the failing wall. Four were burled under debris.’ Morris Stack of Engine No. 27 was buried under a pile of brick and it took his companions five minutes to dig him out. He was seriously injured. Dresses were torn and bonnets lost in the efforts of the working: girls toreach a place of safety. Anumber went down on the fire- escape in front of the building, while others went through the scuttle on the roof. No one, as farasthe police can tell, has been killed. Itisrumored that a number of girls may have been caught in the building, but this lacks confirmation. The police estimate the loss caused by the fire at $500,000 but when Secretary McLaren was asked if it would reach that amount, he said such an estimate was ridiculous and thought it would not exceed $100,000. Had it not been that the structure is built of fre-proof brick it would doubtless have been wholly destroyed. The official police report of the damage is as follows: Scenery, etc., $500,000; opera-house building, $50,000. The damage done by the fire was estimated at $159,000. The fire is now extinzulshed. METROPOLITAN OPERA- HOUSE. The Metropolitan Opera-house, one of the most magnificent of modern play-houses, oc cupying the entire block bounded by Broad- way, Seventh avenue, ‘Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, in the slort space of an hour this forenoon was ruined. The Broad- way front was saved by the firemen, but fully three-quarters of the square was made havoc by the flames, Just where tne fire started is yet unknown, but it must have been in the vicinity of the stage, which backs in Seventh avenue. How the tames managed to get such headway without being discovered, is also a probiem that Chief Bonner cannot solve. The special building signal was rung at about 9:30 oO clock. Then the entire interior of the theater was a fiery furnace and as it was apparent that the block would be consumed help was called without delay. Over a dozen steam- ers responded to this summons and as it was clearthat there was no saving the theater their united efforts were directed to save the Broadway front in which are located the Bank of New Amsteraam and Zancheri & Gazzos’ restaurant. The former covers the Zhirty-ninth street corner and the latter the, Fortieth street corner. The main entrance to the Metropolitan Opera-house was on the front, between the bank and restaurant. This they succeeded in saving, with the as- Sistance of the wind which was blowing strongly from the east and swept the flames back towards Seventh avenue. All the offices in the six stories of the front were not touched, but those of the opera house on the Thirty-ninth street side near Seventh avenue were gutted by the fire and deluged with water. There was also an expensive library in this section, which has also been more or less ruined, 12, there he leaped ground floor shed. ously hurt, ri ” artat Opert attiees TRS toate Artist rtia a vin lire waa? and had the cation of seeing works art upon which he nad s t a le of hls tix a lace in this city in October.

This assisted the firemen mater- lally insaving thé Broadway front. Halfan hour later, the fames having in the mean- time eaten up everything before them, had literally burned themselves out and the fire was then reported under control. Then there was another rumor that an unknown man had been overcome by smoke, but the impression wasthat the latter had been con- founded with the boy who was removed to the New York Hospital. ONLY BARE WALLS. When the fiames had been sufficfently sub- dued they permitted entraficeto the build- ing, an i was seen that the Stage and everything from proscenium arch to the rear wall on Seventh avenue had been entirely — away, except the walls. The roof over the stage was entirely burned away, and the sky could be seen above through the smoke that still arose from the ruins. In the auditorium the roofabove the orchestra still remains, but all the boxes, the upholistering of the chairs and the frescoes of the wallsand dome had vanished. The es burned flerce- rf over the boxes, but they id not make their way through the roof, Further than the entrance tiers to the audit- orium the flames had not succeeded in mak- ing their way. Notraceof the flames were seeninthat part of the building frontin Broadway. Wn the other corner of the bulid- ing facing Broadway it risesto a height of seven stories, the six upper stories being oc- cupied as apartments by bachelors and oth- ers. This portion of the building was not even injured by the water. No one is able to give an account of how or exactiy where, the fire broke out, except that it seemed to come trom 0be- neath the stage. There was a large water tank above the stage and the engineer turned the crank and let its hundreds of galions of water crash down upon the fiames, but the water pro- duced no noticeable effect. There were twenty-five lines of hose in the building, and the stage carpenter turned one of these on the flames, but ina moment was obliged to * for his life. The fire spread too rapidly and burned too fiercely to per- mit those within the to make further efforts to A meeting of tite stockholders will be called immediately, although there may be some delay, as some of them are out of town at present.

Two Great Colorado Corporations to Com- bine and Roorganize. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—It was announced in Wall street yesterday that the plans for the long talked of consolidation of the Colorado Coal & Iron Co. and the Colorado Fuel Co. are ready to be submitted to the stockholders at an early date for formal approval, which will doubtless be accorded. The Colorado Fuel Co. virtually absorbed the other concern, for although the iatter is the larger it is the least profitable. The capital of the new corpora- tion, which has not yet been named, will consist of $2,(00,000 preferred stock and $11,- ,u@gcommon. The preferred stock willall zo to the shareholders or the Fuel Co. Of the common stock, $9,250,000 will go to the stock- holders of the old companies by equal divis- ion and $1,750,000 will remain in the treasury. The consolidated company will have $6,000,000 of authorized bonds, of which $4,244,000 will be required to offset bonds of the old compa- nies, leaving $1,756,000 of the new bonds in the treasury. The reorganization must be completed by Nov. 15. The officers of the Colorado Fuel Co. will be the officers of the new concern. The companies immediately affectec by the consolidation arethe Colorado Fuel Co., the Colorado Coal & Iron Co., the Grand River Coal & Coke Co., the Denver Fuel Uo. ani the Huerfano Land Association. The last named js controlled by the Colorado Coal & Iron Co. andthe Grand River and the Denver com- panies by the Colorado Fuel Co. “The agriculturaland town lot property of the Colorado Coal & Iron Co. is not tneluded inthe consolidation, but will be controlied by a separate organization, whose stock will be given to the Colorado Coal & Iron Co.’s stock holders.

Detective Dennis D. Richel this morning arrested, on Ninth and Olive streets, E. G. C. Byron Dumas, alias George Mueller, alias John Byrne, alias Dr. D. Moore, who tfavels Over the United States as anh instructor in fencing and horsemanship, also in French, Italian, Greek and Latin languages, and, it Is said, is known to the detectives of all the large cities in the United States as an abuser of confidence reposed in him, Dumas, it is claimed, is wanted in Boston for forging the name of John P. Lovelitoa check for $050. After he secured the money he evaded arrest in Roston and fied to Chicago, where he was trailed by the Boston detectives, The Chi- cago detectives were put to work on the case, and the Chief of De- tectives located him at the Palmer House, where he was stopping with a man who reg- istered as C. M. Bure, New York. Detective J. C. Batley of Chicago was put to work on the case, and when Dumas Called at the hotel office for his key on Aug. 9, 1892, he Was placed under arrest. He submitted very quietly, but informed Detective Halley thatif he would accompany him to his room he would convince him that there had been a mistake made, as the baggage in his room did belong to him, The trio proceeded to the room and when one of the large trunks had been opened, Dumas grappled with the detective and, after thrusting him into the large Sara- toga trunk, ran out of the room, locking the door behind him, making his escape. He came direct to St. Louls and was lean- ing uD against -a lamp - post on Ninth and wWlive streets this morning when Detective Viehle took him in.

When he committed the forgery he had a beard, but he shaved itoff shortly after his arrivalinthiscity. The Boston and Chicago authorities have been notiiied of the arrest. Mr. Byron-Dumas was seen in Chief of De- tectives Desmond’s office. Heis of medium height, rather broad-shouldered, and has gentlemanly manners. He, apparently, has some @ifficulty in understanding En- glish, and speaks with a pro- nounced French accent. According to his story, Dumas has had an adventurous career. He has been away from France about four years. Inthe French army he held the rank of lieutenant, and claimsto have served in Egypt, in the Soudan, andalsoto have been with Stanley. He says that he receivesa pension of 250 francs perannum for wounds received in active service. In his profession of teacher of fencing he teaches -the use of the rapier and the cavalry saber, and his pupils are, of course, drawn from the ranks of the wealthy classes. in othef cities where he has been Dumas always managed to become well known to frequenters of the swell clubs, but states that he has not visited any of the st. Louls clubDs. He wasin St. Jouls in company with a woman who, he acknowledges, was not his wife, and stated to Chief Desmond that he stopped at No. 1804 Lucas place, a rather select locality, the residents of ‘which will doubtless be shocked to learn the facts about the prepos- sessing young French Maitre d’Arms. Dumas stated that he was willing to go back without a requisition, ang was especially anxious to start atonce. Chief Desmond told him he wonld have to await the arrival of officers, and would probably not get away before next Thursday. ‘*and I will have to stay in that place down stairs?’’ asked the fencing-teacher with an eloquent finger pointing towards the hold- over. . ‘*Yes, you will,’’ replied Chief Desmond. Aresigned shrug of the shoulders greeted this news. ‘‘lf Ican live there, well,’’ was the only comment in words, and than Desmond promised to provide him with good quarters. Dumas asked permission to write to his wife in Boston, which was granted for to-morrow. He claims that trunks containing his fencing uniforms, swords, Masks, etec., are now en route to St. Louis. they will be taien care of by the police. Dumas has a scar crossing his cheek just under the right eye, the resuit, he ciaims of a saver cut. A Preacher Stranded. John Cobb, aged 70 andhis young of Powhattan, Ark. are in trouble.

THE IRON HALL Supreme Justice Somerby Discusses the Affairs of the Order. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 27.—Supreme Justice Somerby of the Iron Hall returned to his home in this city last night. Several re- porters were waiting for him at his front door, to whom he said: ‘*‘I have just arrived home from Baltimore and am tired and sick, That is all I will say at present to any news- paper in America. The general interest of the public in the affairs ofthe Iron Hall was represented to Mr. Somerby and he was persuaded to answer a number of questions. ‘*What is your opinion of the future of the iron, Halil? Will it survive the present at- tack?’’ ‘*That I must decline to discuss,’’ said Mr. Somerby. ‘‘In fact, lam not abie to give an opinion, as the events of the past few days have been so unexpected. The appointment ofa receiver for the Iron Hall in this city was a great surprise to me.’’ ‘How is the Iron Hall off financially, in your opinion?’’ ‘*You can say that to my mind the Iron Hallisassound~-as any institution in this country,’’ replied Mr. Somerby. ‘*Jhe dispatches from Indianapolis quote you as saying that Secretary Hayes was re- sponsible for the $88,000 of the reserve fund being invested in the utual Bank and that you knew nothing about it.’’ **That is absolutely false.

Auctioneer Selkirk’s Alleged Early Pres- ‘ ence-at the Sixth Street Fire. Supt. Ezra G. Herr of Furlong’s Detective Agency to-day reports statements of a wit- ness which, if true, would be a hew develop- ment in the O’Neil-Selkirk fire situation. He says, on the authority of the unnamed wit- hess, that Alexander Selkirk, the auctioneer whose place was one of the buildings destroyed by the fire, was seen at the fire within a short time after it was discovered, and that Selkirk was in company with French, the man arrested later inthe day. Mr. Herr is not inclined to make public his knowledge, und when seen by a Post-DISPATCH reporter to-day he said: ‘*I will state nothing beyond this: A witness has been foun who he saw Selkirk at the fire company with French, but a few minutes afterthe department wasatwork. You re. member that French wes seen there by one of the firemen? Well, it was about that time that this man saw Selkirk with him, maybe not at that exact moment, but either just before or just after. I am confident of the truth of this statement. There is no mistake aboutit.’’ .” Mr. Selkirk was seen by a Post-DIsPpaTcH reporter relative to this story and sald: ‘It is utterly and entirely false. I was not atthe fire at that time, nor wasI there with French at any time. There is no truth whatever in the story.’’ Another police report touching on the O’Nelil-Selkirk Sixth street fire was made from the Central District this morning. The report states that immediately after the fire Patrolman McCormick and Rropationary Pa- trolman English were placed Sn duty at the scene of the fire with orders to keepall per- sons from entering the buildings. Patrol- man McCormick reports that no one entered pxst his post, but that at 9 o’clock that morning Capt. Chas. Evans of the Salvage Corps, accompanied by John O’Neil, approached Probationary Officer En- giish and told the latter to allow O’Nell to remove articles fromthe saloon. According to the report O’ Nell removed a lot of barrels, but what they contained the officers were unable to state. Chief of Detectives Desmond to-day is in possession of some new information on which he is working, but would give no information to the press of its nature or probable developments. Presumably those barrels contained liquor, but the fact that anything was removed is brought to official notice at a very late date. ee! FORGER PERRIN.

HE SHOULD HAVE HELD THE INQUEST IN : - 45T, LOUIS. (een City Counselor Marshall and Health Com- missioner Brennan Disagres With Dep- uty Coroner Meadeasto His Duties— An Investigation Unsatisfactory to the Dead Man’s Rolatives. It seems Certain now that Coroner J. D. Irwin made a great mistake when he allowed an inquest to be held in East St. Louis on the body of the negro, Frank Gray, who aied at No, 1709 North Second street, St. Louls, Wednesday. The relatives of the gead man have made no threats to resort to legal proceedings in the matter, but they are convinced that a thorough investigation into the death of the young fellow has been pre- vented by the carelessness ofthe st. Louis Coroner. Gray was shot last Sunday afternoon, while he was runningaway from Marshal William Carter of Brooklyn, who had ordered him to be quiet on the street, The young man’s sis- ter was with him at the time. After the shooting, Gray was taken into a billiard. room and laid on aé table, and that afternoon he was removed, still living, tohis home on Second street, where he died Wednesday. Coroner Irwin tien sent the body to East St. Louis, without get- ting a permit for its removal from the Board of Health, and Coroner Woods held an in- quest Thursday,. At the inquest, Marshal Carper admitted that he had shot the negro in the back while he was running, vit in de- fense of that action claimed that Gray had cut him with aknifein resisting arrest be- fore he broke away and = “/ran. The local feeling, of course, was in favor of the Marshal and he was exonerated by the verdict of the Coroner’s jury. The body was then sent back to St. Louls with a burial permit. There has been much criticism of the Coro- ner’s action in the matter among the ac- quaintances of the dead man,and they would like tosee the inquest reopened, although they do not feel Influential enough to demand that of the Cororer, The body still les at the home of Gray’s sisters, where he died, and the two women went to the Coroner’s office to-day to say that a they wanted the city to bury it, as they were unable themselves to *)}:ar the expense of the funeral. It is likely that this disposition will be made of the body. THE CORONER’S POSITION. Deputy Coroner Chas. FE. Meade was acting in Coroner J. D. Irwin’s place to-day, the Coroner beingabsent. Deputy Meade sald: **T shall have the body buried by the city as s00n as I get a duplicate ofthe burial permit issued by the East St. Louls Coroner. The two sisters of Gray, who were in town to- day, said they had lost the certificate they had. With the right and wrong of the shooting this office has nothing to do—the ver- dict of the Coroner in East 8t. Louls decided that. Weare responsible now only for our action in sending the body over to the other side without a permit and in allowing the East St. Louls Coroner to hold the inquest, stead of doing it here. **In the first place. In, a matter involving an inquest, the Coroner does not have to consult the Health Commissioner about dls- posing of the body. The Coroner may do what he thinks best with it, and he may find it anywhere he pleases without stopping to get a permit from the Health De- pe tment. The Coroner is responsible on his 90nd for whatever he does. Asto the send- ing of the Inquest to East St. Louls instead of holding it here, I contend that this office was rightin this action. A matter of this sort comes under interstate law, and wecould not have got the witnesses here if we haa held the inguestin St. Louis. The Coroner has the powertosend toany county in the State and get his witnesses, but he cannot get witnesses from the other side of the river, whichisin Illinols. Sometimeago | had a similar case. Aman had been killed in Venice and had died inthe hospital here. Ididn’t *now whatto do at first, and used every effort to discover the right thing before Itookastep. I wentto the City Counselor, and I saw Estep, and Estep looked up all the law on the subject, finally advising me to send the body to the other side for the inquest. I did so, and Iheard no criticismof theaction. [n this Gray case the conditions are precisely the same and I have followed the lezaladvice I bad, Idon’t very well see how I can reopen the inquest under the circumstances.’’ COMMISSIONER BRENNAN DISAPPROVES., Health Commissioner Wiiliam Brennan said: ‘‘In Morgue cases the authority of the Coroner is Supreme and he does not have to get authority from me toremove the body. I don’t see, therefore, that there can be any objection to the removal of the body by the Coroner to East St. Louis without a permit, at least on my part. ‘*{ do admit, however, that 1am surprised atthe action of the Coroner in allowing the inquest to pass out of his hands and be held on the other side,’’ added the Commissioner, ‘*It seems to me that the inquest should have been held here by all means. However, that is a matter for the consideration of the Coro- ner himself. I presume he understands the duties of his office.’’ COUNSELOR MARSHALL’S OPINION. The Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction, under whose advice the Coroner seems to have acted in the matter, isin nolegalsense an adviser of the Voroner’s office. ‘Lhe office is like sev- eral in St, Louts, half a State office and half acity office. The Attorney-General was the man to consult, if the Coroner had been viewing his office as one under the State, and if he considerea it a city office, the City Counselor’s opinion should have been had, City Counselor W, C. Marshall was asked to-day: ‘‘1fa man ts shot in East St. Louis and dies in St. Louls, where must the Inquest be 'Case,and was 1316 Palm , esterday against | leventh street. | | could furnish bail for held?’’ ‘‘In St. Louis, certainly,’’ said the City Counselor. He has just returned to the city from St. Paul, had not heand of the Gray answering a hypothetical question. ‘‘Wouldit be illegal to have the inquest ‘the City Counselor nodded. ‘‘The inquest must be held where the man dies, There is no question about that.’’ ‘*‘suppose the witnesses can’t be got over here?’’ ‘‘That doesn’t alter the case. If the wit- nesses wouldn’t come the Coroner-would have to do without them. Because the law is this way the witnesses to a murder In New York on the street, even though they came from far away, would be arrested on the scene of the murder ,. and heidin jailtill they cish ball for their subsequent ap- pearance,’’ The Labor Day Parade.

FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 27.—The District Court room was crowded this morning when Jud ge Blaisdell took his seat at 10 o’clock. There was a delag of a few moments while District Attorney Knowlton was consulting with the attorney for the defense as to the length of the trial. The examination of Bridget Sullivan was then continued. Wit- ness said that somebody was sick at the house Tuesday night. Mrs. Borden said she and Mr. Borden were sick at night. They had been vomiting and looked sick. When Lizzie came down stairs she said she had been sick, but I did not notice that she looked unwell. Got wood and coal from the cellar. There was a wood-box in the kitch- en. Miss Lizziehad been moving about eight or nine minutes when she wenc up-stairs to herroom. Mr. Borden used the sofa a great deal, but witness never saw the girls using it. Had never seen Lizzie in the barn. The District Attorney asked the witness to tell them again about the words used by Lizzie about going out, locking the door and Mrs. Borden receiving a note. Objections were raised, but were overruled. When wit- ness Came down-stairs Miss Lizzie sald she told her she heard her father groaning while she was in the back yard: When she came in she said the screen door was wide open. She recognized the laughin the upper hallway, spoke of yesterday, as that of Miss Lizzie Borden. Since the tragedies occurred sie never saw Lizzie Borden crying. This ended Mr. Knowlton’s questioning. The witness grewa little paler, when she faced McAdams to undergo her final cfoss- examination. She went out Wednesday night, she said, and had a key forthe rear door and returned alone about 11 o’clock. Never had any man from Fall River been visiting her at the Borden hotise; two or three months ago an out of town man calle4 upon her; the lamp was turned down when she re- wmrned Wednesday night. There was no gas in the house. Miss Lizzie said she was sick but did not appear to have been sick. On the day of the murder witness had fin- ished washing the windows nearest the hail when she heard someone at the front door, All the locks of the front door were fastened when she went to open it. The exclamation she made in try- ing to open the door was: ‘‘Oh, pshaw!’’ and it was this exclamation that caused Lizzie to laugh in the upper hallway. John Vinnicum Morse was the first witness examined at the afternoon session yesterday. Hie testified as follows: ‘*l am 69 years old and live now at the Bor- den House, On Aug, 3 I lett New Betiford and rot to Mr. Borden’s house that afternoon. I went toSwansea. Mr. Borden did hot go with ine, He was very sick, I got baek about §:45. I did not see Lizzie at all until after the murder, About baifan hour after I got back I heard some one come inthe front door and gO up the front stairs, I think it was Lizzie. I wentto bed at 10 o’clock and Mrs. Borden shortly after’. Onthe morning of the mur- der l wasthe first one up. After breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Borden went back into the sit- ting-room. The last I saw of Mrs. Borden she was in the front hall about 8:30 @’clock,. I left the house at 8:45 o’clock. I wentto the Post-office, then to Third street, to Pleasant street and thence to Mr. Daniel Emery’s house. Icame.back toMr. Borden’s house about 11:45a@. 1m. I walked back through the yard past the doorto a pear tres. latea couple of pears, and then started back to the house. Bridget sullivan met me in the door- way and told me of the murder,’’ Within the past year the witness stated Mr. Borden had spoken to him abont making some public bequests, and of building an old ladies’ bome on his farim across thie river. On the morning of the murder witness stated Mr. and Mrs. Berden seemed sick, and Mrs. Borden told witness she thought she had been poisoned. Mr. Borden and Lizzie, she said, were all sick. Bridget Sullivan, the servant girl, was the next witness, She said, with regard to the circumstances at the time of the murder: ‘*l washed windows onthree sides of the house. I heard Lizzie laugh up stairs when I let Mr. Bordenin. Iheard Lizzie later tell Vir. Borden very slowly that Mrs. Borden had gota note that morniag. Lizzie came trom the dining room and said, ‘if you go out lock the door, as Mrs. Borden is going or has gone out; linay be out, too.’ Llwent upstairs for anap. Lizzie wasinthe kitchen froning. I! took a rest on my i bed. or fifteen minutes later I Lizzie yell: ‘Come down quick, Maggie, fa- ther is dead!’ Il ran down-stairs, ‘Go for Dr. Bowen!’ she said. I wanted to go into the sitting-room, but she sent me on. Dr. bowen and 1 got there together. I heard Dr. Bowen say that Mr. Borden had been mur- dered. I said I’d like to go for Mrs. Borden. Lizzle told meto stay with her, as she was positive that Mrs. Borden was in the house. I went up-stairs with Mrs. Churchill, after Mrs. Borden, I saw her lying dead.,’’ Charles ©. Cook testified that Mr. Borden had told him onthe day of the murder that he had made no will. Jonathan ©, Cook, John Cunningham and Deputy Shertf Frank H,. Wixon testified to minor incidents connected with the tragedy. ee AFTER A DIVORCE. But the Shy Little Thing Had Gone toa Queer Place for It. From the Denver Times, She was a shy young thing, apparently not long severed from her mother’s apron strings, and, as she edged her way into the police héadquarters with furtive glances and suppressed voice, she was a picture worth gazingat. It required considerable clearing of the throat and bracing of the nerves be- fore she could muster up sufficient courage to spin her story. **Do you Know anything about divorces?’’ The officer in charge grasped the rail to steady himself, Thotugh used to questions of a thousand hues, he was taken off his guard Dy that. Besides, he, in the method common to guardians of the peace, had already sized up the girland jumped at'a number of con jectures at her errand. But the crestfallen officer didn’t come within several lengths of the bull’s-eye. He had supposed that a parent ora brother loomed up in the background of her mission, or, by a chance shot, a lover; nevera husband. Nevertheless, he proved equalto the emergencys, B game himeelf to- gether in gallant style, and made a show of knowledge on the divorce problem. The story in a nutshell is this: Married a fort hight or so. ‘Tired of matrimony. Mutual. The spoony hubby of a few weeks’ standing bad faltled to settle witey’s* board bill, Moral: ‘*Don’t you think I could get a divorce because he hasn’t paid my board?’’ ‘*‘What good would that do0?’* persisted the officer, maintaining gravity of composure with great effort. ‘*‘Then you would have to pay your own Dill.’’ ‘*Oh, that isn’t the idea at all,’’ she ex- claimed, with a look of ae 3 for his obtuse- ness, ‘*Why can’tI geta divorce trom him and compel him to suport me until 1 get mar. ried again?’’ The officer rushed to the tank fora glass of ice water to check a dizzy feeling that crept down his spinalcolumn, and when he recoy. ered he politely referred the foxy young bride to a divorce lawyef. e Fired at Him.

One of the places that has ina large degrees the dual auality of delighting and educating is the Arnold Arboretum, and yet, strange as it nay appear, the number of residents who seein to profit by its existence is compara- tively small. Indeed, there are not a few in- dividuais whoeven now are tenorant of the factthat withinthectty limits there Is this wonderful garden of trees, which, although embryonic in many respects, is unequaled anywhere in the world. In its present condition the easual observer will take more note of the natural beauty of the place than of its scientific value. Being yetinitsinfancy,asoniy a few years have elapsed since the property assumed its pres- ent specific character, there is a certain crudity apparentin the piots of earth newly planted with young seedings, and !t requires either a botanical sclentist or a philanthrop- ic enthustase to see with theeye of a prophet the enjoyment posterity will take in those trees. . Tothe person who pays his first visit to this ‘*‘tree park’’ there is no endof dcelightiul surprises, Inthe first place his aitention will be attracted to the broad, magnificent roads which wind over the place and afford exceptional advantages for carriage driving. Upon the left of the road, near tho entrance, afew steps will bring him tosucha rustic retreat as he would not have believed poss!i- biy could bein hiding so neéara public hign- way. A spring of crystal water sur- rounded by underbrush, a babbling brook with a primitive footbridge, at the other side of which are the tall hemlock trees, with a carpet of pine needies, are here to De seen, and it requires no stretch of the iImazi- nation to fancy one’s Selfin the heart of the White Mountains. The trees .rustie, the water gurgles, the boulders are as impassive andthergis the same air of unfathomable mystery As in the unfrequented woods of the New Hampsliire hills, and yet only a stone’s throw away isthe road with pleasure parties driving by. This is the: finest grove of hemlocks In this part of New England, and as one giances up at their stalwart strength, which has en- dured for centuries, there instinctively rises to the lips, ‘*This 1s the forest primewal.’’ These are the ‘‘Bussey Woods,’’ and it was on the opposite side of this hill that the Joyce children met their dreadful fate. ‘The spot where the girl was found Is marked by a rude monunrent of stones which Visitors have placed there. Although, with the exception of the hem- locks, there is no naturai grouping among the native trees, they a) pear in wreat variety and are very beautiful, but flity years from now will witness a wonderful transformation, when tall trees shall stand in classified order and beauty and science shail appear as twin sisters in the branches which wili then wave on high. In this scientific arrangement families will be placed togetlier, and every tree and woody shrub that will grow in our New Kngiand climate will here be found with its own proper label. A system of ‘‘cutting buck’’ Is employed on many of the trees, and by this process they assume taller and fuller propor- tions, andthe foliage remains green much longer. The soil has to be carefully prepared for these specimens that are not indigenous, often to an extent of three feet. The Arboretum Covers 175 acres of land that was bequeathed to Harvard University by the late Mr. Bussey, it having formerly been a portion of LBussey’s farm, By the legacy of James Arnold an income of $100,000 was left to the university forthe purpose of cultivating trees. Prof. Charles Sprague Sargeant, the director of the Arbor- etum, has given his careful attention to all arrangements, and his enthusiastic zeal meets with reward not only in the présent improvements which he kas wrought, but in anticipation of the results which Will make ttiis oe of the most hdteworthy localities in the country. The special! pride of the Arboretum ts the large hursery, which is considered the finest in the country. The scientific arrangement is carried out to perfection, and uncommon facilities are here open tu the student of bot- any.

A SORRY Don Alonzo, Sir Walter or Dr. Rice Not Entered—The World’s Richest Racing Prize Contested for by Second-Rate Animals—The Race Worth $65,000 to the Winning Owner. New YORK, Aug. 27.—It would be an ex- ‘ceedingly dificult task to find a sorrier Jot of 2-year-olds thanthose which will start for the rich Futurity Stakes at Sheepshead Bay to-day. The 2-year-olds of this season are only of moderate caliber at their best. By some strange irony of fate the best perform- ers of the year, Dr. Rice, Don Alonzo and Sir Walter, are not entered, and so are not ell- gible to start for the richest prize on the American turf. The Futurity is not only the richest prize on thisturf, but it is far and away the biggest stake in the world. It isa great pity that the struggle for the $75,000 will not be confined to horses of high caliber. Englishmen have seen their classic Derby won by horses that were not much better than cart horses, and it looks as though the Futurity this year would go to a fourth-rate horse, if not to an outlawed horse. The win- ner will get about $65,000, while the other money will go to the second and third horses, and the breeders of the first, second and third horses. According to Andrew Jackson Joiner and Frank Van Ness, the respective trainers of Lady Violet and Morello, the two favorites, the race is simply a match between those two thoroughbreds. Your correspondent has interviewed both gentlemen. Joiner declared that Lady Violet would win and win sure and warned your representative not to be talked into betting on anything else but August Belmont’s slashing filly. While he preferred dry going, the fact that the track would be heavy did not by any means lessen his faith in the filly. Van Ness smiled broadly when asked if Morello was suffering trom an attack of in- flUenza. Said he: ‘‘Morello is as fine as silk. In fact, he has never been in better condl- tion, and you can say for me that he will win ina walk. Why, I feel so confident of win- ring that $75,000 with Morello that I can even now feel the Coney Island Jockey Club’s check reposing peacefully in my inside vest pocket. In up-town turf circles Morello is the favor- ite because of his excellence in muddy run- ning. He isa big colt with a long stride and a glutton fora heavy going. Lady Violet’s defeat by Chiswick (formerly ihe Alice Bruce coit) in the race for the great Trial Stakes at Sheepshead Bay, July 1 of this year, over a heavy track, would indl- cate that Belmont’s filly is averse to heavy going. Trainer Joiner’s assurance tuat she will do better this time forces her local ad- mirers to pass over this defeat, they relying on Joiner’s cleverness as a trainer and Snap- per Garrison’s ability as a jockey to win the great event with her. Those who are talk- ing Morelio, however, claim tbat the filly’s defeat by the Alice Bruce colt is convincing evidence that she is no match for Morelloin heavy going. Jockey Fitzpatrick, who will ride Morello, avers that sheis the best racehorse he ever mounted, and as Fitz has ridden many good ones in his day his opinion of Morello is cer- tainly no idle talk. Of the other starters, Lidderwood and the Belladonna coit are the most spoken of. As far as shown, outside of Morello and Lady Violet there is nota really good youngster in the lot. Futurity day broke dreary ana threatening atsheepshead. The trainers and their sta- bles’ employes looked out upon the mud- ently. The following is the betting on the Futurity race to-day: Lady Violet, 5 to 2; Piutus, 8 to 1; Hammie, 10 to 1; Sir Francis, li tol; Ledgerwood,6to1; Coman- che, 20 to 1; Gov. Foraker, 20to1; Lovelace, 3 tol; Belladonna colt, 4 tol; Freize, 30tol; Pat Malloy, Jr., 40to 1; Miraze, 40to1; Uncle Jim, 40to1; Morello, 2to1; Uncle Jess, Wwto 1; Spartan, 10 tol. Morello, the favorite, will be ridden by **Dare-Devil’’ Fitzpatrick, while ‘‘Snapper’’ — will have the mount on Lady ‘jolet. WITH the return of warmer weather comes the necessity of fresh airand recreation. The St. Louls & Suburban cars are running from Sixth and Locustto Wellsevery two minutes, and to Normandy and Kamona every fifteen minutes. This is the pleas- antest way for visitors tosee the prettiest sections of the city and county. THE RUSSIANS AT HOME. A Visitor Who Found Them a Pleasant and Hospitable People. From the Cornhill Magazine. I found them a pleasant, hospitable and social people, always ready to fraternize and help me inevery way intheir power. Iwas told sometimes by Englishmen in the country that they were a very childish people; in the case with which they are willing to be amused this may be so, and also, perhaps, in a certain disregard of conventional appear- ances. I remember once seeing a Russian general and a colonel—and be it noted that officers invariably wore uniform and swords —sitting on the ledge of a shop window in the principal street of one of the largest cities of the empire, discussing some inatter with great animation and wholly unaware of any incongrulty in their position and of my some- what bewildered stare. Imagine such a scene in Regent street. My tutor, however, assured me it was nothing out of the ordinary,and laughed at my surprise. One certainly meets with little ways and usages common among the oriinary great middleclass, if Imay socall the class from which spring the Immense majority of om- cers of the army, ordinary tchinovnicks or officials, students, lawyers, professors of the universities and schools, doctors, mer- chants, etc., the class, in fact, among which the ordinary Englishman (finds himself cast in his attempt to live in a family and learn the language, which strike an Englishman as being ‘‘not nice,’’ andforma great extent the ground on which we occasionally vote them as bar- Darous. Small matters, to which it would he a pity to attach undue importance, arrest one’s attention, such as frequently eat- ing with their Knives as we use a fork; mo salt-spoon elther in hotels or in rivate houses, the afore- said knife being employed to help oneself to salt, sometimes stretching half the length of atable to get at it instead of asking thatit should be passed; simplifying the carving of a fowl, for instance, by a liberal use of the fingers—using the same Knife and fork for the Various courses and helping oneself to vege- tables, etc., by sticking one’s fork into the dish and extracting what is required, and many other little points similar in kind. One common practice should be mentioned, The men, and sometimes the ladies, carry about a little pocket-comb, which is used in the most unconcerned way anywhere, ina train, ata railway station, or on entering a room, without any apology. The hair is often worn by the men without any parting, sometimes rather long and brushed or combed back or straight up, which gives them rather a wild appearance. These are some of the peculiarities of manner and ways which, however simall, somewhat jar on an Englishman. In spite of the unique oppor- tunity for skating which their long winter gives them, it is rare to find any Russian who can skate well. Infection in Paper Money. ‘From the Lancet.

Consideration of ths Disposition to Be Made of Him. From the Boston Transcri pt. one’s friend forthe summer vacation 1s 50 simple and reasonable a provision for the dog, and such a happy exercise of hospitality arrangements is likely toincrease. Andthey are the more sure to on account of cer- tain elements in the situation which may hardly appear at first. Every dog-owner and dog-lover knows that a dog, while he isa delight, is also a responsibility, and, like any responsibility, has a certain narrowing effect upon the person on whom the burden lies, To do justice to one’s dog demands a con- centration of attention upon him, and a study of his character and possibilities, which necessarily, in a world where both time and the capacity for attention are lim- ited, shuts off one from any great degree cf knowledge of other dogs. Moreover, one is likely to contract a prejudice in favor of that breed, which makes it difficulty to do justice to other varieties. Butifhe to whom a bull- dog has been the idea of canine good 100Ks makes room on his porch for a greyhound, or his mastiff has for temporary companion a King Charles, his hospitality will reap its reward in a better understanding of the dls- tribution of dog virtues and a more catholic taste in “4 es of dog beauty. Nor isthis all. Such temporary residency carries with it no moral obligation to traina dog in the way he should go, and one is con- ——— able to enjoy his society with a delicious sense of freedom. Here the anal- ogy between the summer dog and the sum- mer girl will readily suggest itself, and the educative value of the latter—aside from her other merits—has never been properly in- sisted upon. She affords a chance for the widefing of one’s knowledge of ty pesof char- acter—a kind of knowledge which is not only of immense practical value, but liés at the root of an intelligent attitude toward life itself. No man can be thoroughly con- versant with the summer girl without be- coming something less than a Philistine in regard to one department of human exper!- ence at least. It is a corresponding broaden- ing of the mind that the summer dog can bring about, and again—to note his analogy tothesummer girl—he brings with him the opportunity fora great deal of innocent re- laxation. It may be said of him, speaking of him now collectively, as the young man said of the girls, ‘‘They rest you!l’’ May the tribe of each increase. MENTONE CAVE BURIALS. Relics of Men Seven Feet High in the Italian Caves. From Scienee. Near Mentone, but on theltalian side of the frontier, there are several caves in the cretaceous sea-cliffs, whose contents have long attracted the lively attention of arch@ologists. Unluckily, they have been worked over somuch that the original strati- fication is nolonger apparent, but through- out the mass, flint chips andrude bone im- plements have been abundantly found, of such character thliat they have been unani- mously referred to palzolithbic man, to that period of his existence in Western Europe which De Mortillet has called Solut- reen. Thus far, all is harmony; but in this de- posit, at various depths, skeletons have been | unearthed, and a lively discussion ensued as | to whether these should be considered also of | palgeolithic time, or of iater date. This de- | bate has been renewed by fresh discoveries 'of such remains in February last,a good | description of wh¥ch, by Mr. A. Vaughan | Jennings, appears in Natural Science for June. | Ihey are said to be of unusual size, relics of The custom of handing over one’s dog to on the part of those who are housekeeping during the season, that the number of such } men |} measurin soaked track and shook their heads despond- | ~ B from six and a haif ta feet tall; but it is well how easily one is deceived in skeletons. With them were worked ornaments of bone and sheli, neck- seven known . laces, and finely-chipped arrowheads. These indications point conclusively to the fact of deliberate interment ata period when mort- uary ceremonies were definite and solemn rites, and unquestionably, therefore, to neo- lithic times. Inspite of the depth at which they were founda, perhaps twenty-five feet below the modern level of the cave floor,they must be accepted as indorsing De Mortillet’s a of the human remains as palzo- thic. LEFT-HANDEDNESS. Scientific Research Into the Causes of a the Fecullarity. From Science. W hy are most people right-handed? Why are a few left-handed? These are questions which have puzzied al] physiologists who have at- tempted their solution. The various theories put forward are compactly presented by Sir Daniel Wilson in his recent work, ‘‘Right Hand: Left-Handedness’’ (London, 1891). His final conclusion is that left-handedness is dueto ‘fan exceptional development of the right hemisphere of the brain.’’ But it must be acknowledged that his evidence, consist- ing of a single autopsy, is far from sufficient. sir Daniel calls attention to the tact that the formsofsome ancient stone implements prove that palewolithic man was sometimes jeft handed, and distinctly was not ambidex- trous, as some have maintained. He does not refer to De Mortillet’s tables in the Bull. Soc. D’Anthopologle, 1890, which show that atthat time in France the men averaged more thantwiceas many left-handed indi- viduals as at present; and at certain locali- ties, as at Chassey, on the upper Rhone, the left-handed were in the large majority. In Sir Daniel’s generally very thorough vol- ume there are but few references to this phe- nomenon in the lower animals, and no men- tion of its occurrence in snails. It may, indeed. sound likea ‘‘bull’’ to talk of animals as left-handed who have no hands, but the physiological phenomenon is plainly present. It is shown in the direction in which they construct the spiral of their shell. With the ordinary vine snail this is from left to right, but once in about 3,000 timesitis from right to left. ‘ihey are then known as sinistrorsa, In the genus Partula far more frequent ex- amples occur, and, indeed, species have been named from this peculiarity. Whatever its cause, in mollusk and man the same law is operative. ee NAMES FOR THE BABY. Australian Cognomens Suggested for Lord Hopetoun’s Son. From the Sydney Bulletin.

Quite a number of the leading families were present. Mrs. Yerger was showing the wrounds to her guests, when her little daugh- ter, Fanny, ran up to her and exclaimed: ‘*‘Mamma, watch me stand on wy head like Brother Bill.’’ **Don’t you doanything ofthe kind. It is not proper for a_ little girl to stand on her head,’’ said Mrs. Yerger. **l"lltry and make haste and grow, and when I am a big girl then I can stand on my head, can’t I, ma?’’ This explains why visitors ask Mr. Yerger what has become of dear little Fanny, as they haven’t seen her lately. ‘Be Wasa Sport.

Her conduct vexed him. Was the girl de- ceiving him? Or was he deceiving himsé}f? **What do you know, Ethel?’’ he aske a tone of sarcastic doubt. The girl rose from the rustic bench on which she had been sitting. *“*I know this much, Mr. Montmorenci,’’ she said, forcibly, ‘‘that no young Man on a moonlight night is going to fool me with ten- tative statements preceded by palpable ifs, and implying hypotheses capable of back- slams and crawfishing.

But what is the lily and all of the rest Of the flowers to a man with a heart in his breast That has dipped brimmin’ full of the honey and ew Uf the sweet clover blossoms his boyhood knew? I never set hevey on a clover fieid now, Or fool rouna a stable, or climb in the mow, But my childhood comes back justas clear and as plain As the smell of tne clover I’m sniffin’ again; And I wander away in a barefooted dream, Where I tangled my toes in the biossoms that gieam With the dew of the dawn of the morning of ove Ere it wept o’er the graves that I am weeping above, And so I love clover—it seems like a part Of the sacredest sorrows and joys of my heart; And wherever it blossoms, O, there let me bow And thank the good God as I am thanking Him how; And pray to him still for the strength when I die.

Our and other outside gifts amount, alltold, to per- haps three-quarters of a million of dollars. The donations of the Government and the ople represent in the neighborhood of 350,000,000, and the Czar himself has given about $10,000,000 out of his private funds. The Government loans to famine villages amount to more than $100,000,000, and these loans no one ever expects that the peasants willrepay. Itis a physical impossibility for them to do so, and, as one of the chief officials of the Government said to me latter- ly, the Czar does not expect repayment. He wware gives a present to the people upon certain occasions, such as the corona- tion of aGrand Duke, and at the next such event one of his presents will probably be the forgiving of his debt. This $100,000,000 was given almost outright by the Government, but in addition to it numerous schemes have been fayored and authorized by the Czar to get money forthe sufferers, and the bulk of the gifts have come from the people. One of these schemes was by a lottery un- der the Treasury Department, the prizes of which were guaranteed by thse Imperial Bank, and the profits of which went tothe famine. Russia has no lotteries as the rule, and such things are ordinarily against the law. ‘This lottery brought in about $75,000,- 000, and all classes patronized it, many of the wealthy buying thousands of tickets. I know one man here who bought $10,000 worth of tickets, choosing scattering numbers, and he did not geta single prize. He was twit- ted on his bad luck, and replied: **Idon’tcare. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my 20,000 roubles have gone to help the famine.’’ St. Petersburg is a city of many rich people and many of the nobles here took from $1,000 to $5,000 worth of these lottery tickets, but the great majority were sold to people of small means and the buying of them was, so to speak, the fad. Consul-General Crawford estimates thatthe gifts of private citizens in Russia to this fam- ine have not heen less than 350,000,000 roubles, or the enormous sum of $175,000,000. The gifts almost surpass comprehefsion, and all told, notwithstanding the vast population of Rus- sia, they amount, including those of the Gov- erment, to $8 for each man, woman and child inthe whole Russian Empire, or to $15 per family. When you remember that of the twenty odd million families that make up the Russian people not many more than 1,000,000 of them probably have ever had $15 at one time in their possession yor get some idea of the mighty strain this has been on those who could give and have given. Our system ofcrop reports will be adopted for Russia. Heretofore Russia has had no agricultural statistics, and the peasants have lived from hand to mouth. They are not economical or thrifty, nor accumulative in our sense of the word, and it requires a study of their character and their condition to un- derstand the situation. Lhirty years ago they were in the condition to a great extent of our slaves at the South and if the negro and the planter had been left to work outtheir salvation atthe close of the war without the aid of the money and push of the Norththey would probably be of the same character as these people are here to-day. This statement may, however, be: mislead- ing. ‘ihe two races are far different in char- acter. The great Slavicrace is oneof the strangest and most pecullaron God’s green earth. They are the baby race among the great races of the world. They are not yet out of their swaddling clothes and into even the knee pants of the boyhood of civilization. But for all that their limbs are muscular, their features are strong andthey have tle lungs andthe staying powerof the bull of Bashan, No one who visits Russia can be unim- pressed with the strength of character seen in the faces ofthe people. I first saw these Russian peasants at Jerusalem about four years ago. lsee here every day walking the streets of St. Petersburg with bundles on their backs, driving cabs or droskies and working on the streets, men whose nobility and strength of features would create remark in any American crowd; atevery corner you meet men whose faces are such that you would be proud to acknowledge them if you found them among your ancestral portraits. They area big-boned, well-jointed race, and they look as though they were made to stay. The women are of the same character as the men. They are not handsome,nor pretty, but they look kind and motherly and what we would call fine-looking. They lack taste in dress, have no ideas of the harmony of colors and wear—I mean the peasants—hand- Kerchiefs of all brightesi colors of the rain- bow upon their heads, Their dressesare of red, blue or other gay colors, and they are gathered in at the neck and walst and fall to the feet in ungraceful folds. They do as much work asthe men, and the men and women work in the fields side by side. BUYING SHIRTS. Andthe Dear Girl Was Rather Mixed as to the Sizes, rom the Brooklyn Eagle.

The tape measure showed that the shirt measured 48 inches around the chest and the young lady looked at the clerk in a dazed way. ‘*What did you mean by saying that nine- teen inches was the largest size you kept? Why, this shirt is almost fifty inches.’’ **But, responded the clerk, in kis most suave manner, ‘‘thatis not the way shirts are measured, miss; they are always sold by the size of the coillar.’’ A warm flush spread over the stylish girl’s face as she realized her mistake, and she even condescended to smile upon the clerk who was by this time feeling on very good terms with himself. ‘*Oh, I must have gotten my shopping list mixed,’’ she said sweetly, ‘‘and 1 think a— about 144% will be about the size; you may send me threeof the prettiest patterns you have, and be sure and send them to-night, as my brother is going away to the country to- morrow,.’’ . DO NOT WEITE A PLAY. The Best Advice to Be Given to Aspir- ing Young Persons. Frank Archer, a London actor, has written a book entitled ‘‘How to WriteaPlay.’’ The London Spectator thinks ‘‘A more suitable title would have been ‘How Notto Writea Bad Play,’ and that advice on that subject could be given in very few words. *‘Not the least interesting part of Mr. Archer’s book is his survey of dramatic work that has been done by men who have suc- ceeded brilliantly in other branches of litera- ture, but have utterly failed in dramatic writing. The list of authors who have at- tempted and failed to write forthe stage isa really formidable one, and Includes, with but few exceptions, nearly all the great names in literature—falled, according to Mr, Arch- er, generally through Ignorance of the requirements of the stage. For it'would be im possible to believe that Scott, Coleridge or Byron were weg in dramatic force, or that Charles Lamb or Thackeray could not write g00d dialogue. The world is apt to clamor every now and then for a better literary quality in its plays,and to lament that the stage is not written for by men who havea recognized lace in literature, and who would, therefore, presumably be better fitted 5 ¢ “aga something that is worth listen- ng to. **People who Idly echo this complaint would do well to look through the list of the fail- ures that are here recorded. If that ts not sufficient answer, let them read one or two of Charles Lamb’s rejected plays. or that dis- tressing production which Thackery after- ward converted into an almost equally bad novel under the name of ‘Lovel the Wid- ower.’ They will probably agree that there is something more required than imagina- tion and power of expression. Even Dickens, who was an excellent amateur actor himself, failed in writing for the theater, possibly from not Aig eyes that the necessity of conforming to its rules was paramount over all literary considerations. **it is curious to note among the names of unsuccessful dramatists those of Words- worth and Richard Cobden. Passing from the consideration of unsuccessful plays to” those who have been successful, the author, in attempting a definition of the latter, says that ‘a sympathetic and well-constructed drama, that yields the fullest opportu- nities toaclever company of actors in their respective lines, an that will stand a reasonable test of time, comes under the head of a successful play.” Upon two qual- ities at least he insists—sympathy and d construction. it wasto those two qualities that Robertson and Tom Taylor chie owed their success as playwrights. Inthe case of the former we should say that it was. solely to those two qualities, for, beyond their adaptability to the powers of the actors and their appeal tothe sentiment of the public, the comedies of that popular dramatist had but little to recommend them. **Weare not sure that sympathy is quite the most necessary requirement fora lay; but, at any rate, it has much to do with ts popularity. Originality or invention, we gather, the author thinks a quality not alto- gether indispensable, though he clares that invention, originalor not, isan essen- tial of good play writing, and protests that there is no reason why English writers should not show themselves as inventiveas their French rivais, As ahelptoward invention he suggests that a greater use should be made of i § collaboration thinking that a great deal of the Frenchman’s superior! 8 this matter is to be traced to the fact that he understands the value of collaboration far better than we do. We should hardly have thought that the advice was needed. Almost as many plays appear to-day with the names of two authors at- tached to them as plays for which one man alone is responsible. Nor do we think that the ershow any advance in the matter of originality.

All that warand time had left of the beautiful palace, where kings and em- perors loved to take their pleasure, has been knocked down to a speculative purchaser as sO much old building material.

That Frenchmen should desire to remove a conspicuous monu- ment of the humiliations, the sufferings. and the disasters brought upon their country by a cruel invasion is natural enough, nor 3 it strange that the rulers of the republic should be eager to obliterate the last traces of a building each stone of which is saturated with the memories of dynasties gone by.

It appears that wages have risen in the mines to $2.50 per day and the Philadelphia newspapers which havé in a shame-faced way advo- cited and defended the monopoly extract great comfort from the fact. The Record quotes the coalers’ organ as follows: The prudent and wise restriction of the production of anthracite coal, and the regu- lation of the trade, which was brought about by the consolidation of the coal interests, has, as we predicted, resulted In better wages for the miners, and consequently better times for the business men of the anthracite regions generally. The man whose family is likely to suffer for want of coal next winter will not ap- preciate ‘‘the prudent and wise restriction of the production of anthracite coal.’’ He cannot understand howa policy can be wise or prudent that makes it harder for a free man to live in a free country. Wages have risen at the mines which are worked. Weare informed that before the advance in prices ‘‘the miner hardly earned enough to keep his family in food.’’ This is granted and we congratu- late him on his accessof good fortune. But what about the men who, before the advance in prices, were employed in the mines which have been shut up in pursu- ance of the wise and prudent policy? If they were hardly able to keep their fam- ilies in food then, what can they do now? The anthracite miners get $2.50per day from the combine, but what of the tramps who were miners a few months ago? Nor have the fortunate ones any reason to be proud. Just nowthe combine is on its good behavior and increasing wages is a good card to play. But when public opinion is lulled to sleep, when people get used to high prices the army of unem- ployed will make an onslaught and wages will tumble. Does any sane man doubt it after the experience of organized labor in Homestead and Bufialo and of the moun- taineers of Tennessee. Every idle man is a bear in the wages market and sooner or later will have his own way withit. Sur- plus labor occupies a commanding position in the industrial battle. It is not wise or prudent to trust to the benevolence of monopoly and privilege. The only safe plan is to abolish them or deprive them of the advantages which they have acquired. To permit them by law to shut up mines and factories and otherwise restrict production is to put it in their power to turn men adrift and break down wages by means of the Over- supply of would-be workingmen clamor- ing for work. Privileges must go. —, American tin-plate manufacture greater even than the stimulus of the McKinley jaw. ‘But this is due to the peculiar char- acter of the business, To start such a con- necessary to import a lot of cern it is onl eg on plates, a number of for- * le 1 Pat ee ice ee bee a A ‘members of this organization can tolerate. | workmen and then hotify the news- papers and the @ecretary of the Treasury that youare established. American in- dustry will net languish—not while it can be imported. THERE is no doubt now that cholera has found lodgment in England, Whether or notit can be suppressed remains to be seen, but the prospect is serious, and there is every reason to believe that the plague will reach America, where it will prob- ably appear next yearas soon as warm weather begins. Cleanliness and vigorous sanitary measures only will serve as a protective against its ravages. It is the duty of every individual and every city government to act promptly and ener- getically. ———~2 —— EVEN Benjamin Harrison sees a glimmer of light. ‘‘Ifancy,’’ says he, ‘‘that we are entering now as a people upon a career when our external influence in commerce is to be larger than ever before.’’ There is no doubt of this, but Mr. Harrison and his party have done all they could to pre- vent the rise of any influence atall, and their efforts are greater than ever this year. ——_——_—_o— @- —s -- — —-—-—- THE Chicago Tribune discovers three parties toastrike: The strikers, the em- ployer and the public, which often gets the butt end of the fracas.

No acrobat ona tight rope ever had a more ticklish task before him than have the cham- pions of McKinleyism in balancing the para- doxes of protection. Their chief organ in this city is busy In try- ing to prove: 1. That putting ataxon an article cheap- ens it to Consumers. understand that wheat isa drug in the | |} Manufacturer to increase or | wages. chance to be an active participant in the j THE campaign has given a boom to the. 2. That cheapening the product enables the ‘*maintain’’ 38. That thecostof foodcan be reduced to workingmen, while the farmer gets higher prices for bis products on account of a tariff on foodstuffs which constitute the main part of our exports. : 4. That the foreigners really pay the duty, though Mr. McKinley, in the kindness of his heart, taxes themi only $190,000,000 a year towards the expenses of the Government. It is a very nice piece of tight-rope balancing which the defenders of taxinga nation into prosperity have undertaken. Why Our Womsn Wear Calico. From the Rochester Herald. The profitable business season of the cot- ton manufacturers at Fall River is the latest circumstance that the Republican press ‘*points to with pride.’’ Of course, they say the McKinley bill did it. Conceding the claim for the moment, what does the extraor- dinary demand for calicoes and other cheap cotton goods signify? Itclearly indicates an increased demand in this direction at the ex- pense of better fabrics. Women of modest means may not be disposed to obey the spirit of Jay Gould’s advice to the men and make one dress do where they had two for- merly; but they can dothe next best or the next worst thing, and wear two dresses of cheaper material than those they had been accustomed to wear. Incidentally, it Is pertinent to remark that, according tothe report Of the Massachusetts’ Bureau of Labor statistics, the cotton operatives of that State average the munificent income of 238 @ year. Chicago Policemen. From the Chicago Herald. That the Chicago police are not all asleep was evidenced Tuesday afternoon, when one oftheir number, after a long chase, ured a runaway thief on Washington boule- vard and another at the risk of his life stopped a frightened horse on Street. These instances are all the more gratiiying in view of the many cases reported lately where Chief McClaughry has been com- pelled to dismiss men for intoxication, inat- tention to duty and conduct unbecouiing an officer. Power of Printer’s Ink. From the Philadelphia Record. The Mexican Government has paid $16,000 for an advertisement in the New York WORLD setting forth the merits ofthat country. It is a curious tribute to the power of printer’s ink that one of earth’s oldest people should turn to it as the best means of lifting them- selves and their material interests into the conspicuity which in modern life is an essen- tial element of prosperity and progress. Well Put Wisdom. From the Philadelphia Record All attempts to Interfere arbitrarily with the natural laws of trade, either by the formation of trusts or by the employment of violence to interfere with personal! or prop- erty rights, are alike repugnant to the spirit of constitutional law, and must alike breed a lawless spirit. It is one of the clearest du- ties of citizenship, therefore, to deprecate and oppose all such movements as a menace to the public peace and welfare. How Our Workmen Are Protected. From the Toledo Bee. The Boston 7ranscript invites the attention of Eurropeans who take it upon themselves to say anything about our labor troubles to the fact that ‘‘our rioters and instigators of riot were born chiefly on European soil.’’ An- other fact might be added to this one: These foreign rioters were mostly brought here, under contract (in defiance of law and public sentiment), to displace American working- men in mills and factories. Would Fatigue the Machine. From the Columbus Press. A professor at Yale College has invented a machine for measuring fatigue in degrees, If pruvided with a sufficiently large indicator board the new machine might be used to find out the true condition of the audiences who have just listened to a speaker arguing that the tariff is not a tax.

CLARE’S VICTORY IN THE MEMORABLE NINTH DISTRICT STRUGGLE. The St. Louis Republican Club Reor- ganizes and Takes Steps to Partici- pate Actively in the Local Campaign — Prominent Speakers Expected in eMissouri—Colored Republicans Worked Up—Political Notes. But few of the State Democratic Commit- teemen were present at the State head- quarters this morning. Chairman Salmon of the Executive Committee called early, and Secretary Cook as usual was at his desk at8 o’clock, Committeeman Jenkins came in later to say that Stone’s speech bad been read up in his district and that all the Democrats were pleased with it. Maj. Salmon had nothing to say further than he was pleased with the outlook generally and that he was glad to see the Ninth District contest settled. Congressman Dick Norton called and said while the committee had reported against him, he was, nevertheless, ready to do his share of work ih the’ State campaign. Mr. Norton called attention to an Over- sight of the sub-committee on the Crawford Oounty returns, The returns as reported by the sub-committee gave him but two majority in the county, but anh examination of the figures showed that the majority was much larger. The returns from Davisville township showed that he had sixty-five majority in Crawford, sixty-seven instead of two as was at first reported, Congressman Norton has volunteered his services to the State Committee and will make a number of speeches during the cam- paign. Won by Champ Olark. The Democratic State Committee has given its final decision in the Clark-Norton contest, and the Pike County candidate is the winner, The State Committee wrestled with the con- test allday yesterday, and did not decide it until last evening. Then the sub-committee, composed of Committeemen Zeibig, Sher- wood and Hunter reported to the general committee that Clark had carried Montgom- ery County and was entitled to the eight it will have in.the convention. The report was approved, and accordingly when the Ninth District Convention meets in St. Charles next Tuesday Clark will be declared the nominee. Clark has Audrain with il votes, Pike 13, Montgomery 8 and Ralis7, making 30in all, while Norton has Lincoln 10, St. Charles 9, Warren 2, Gasconade 2 and Crawford 5, a total of 28. When the result was announced Clark’s friends, who waited onthe outside for the announcement, became jubilant, while Nor- ton’s supporters took the matter philosgphi- cally and said nothing. This has been one of the bitterest contests ever brought before the State Committee, andit is feared that this feeling will continue and be carried to the polls election day. Colored Indignation Runs High. The colored voters of the Twenty-six Ward are still indignantover the action of Deputy Collector Becker, who builtasky scraping fence along the line of 8t. Ferdinand street, because Wm, McCutcheon, acolored man, moved in the adjoining house with his fam- ily. At its last meeting the Twenty-sixth Ward John W. Noble Club passed a series of resolutions expressive of their indignation, They read as follows: Whereas, our esteemed friend and colleague, Mr, Wim. McCutcheon, has recentiy located in our midsé in property which he is endeavoring to purchase; and whereas, adjoining his premises isa pt ered holding a positiou in the office of the City Collector who has shown his prejudice so deeply that he has marred the beauty of the surrounding propery by erecting a barricaded fence of unusual height, and this too while he efijoys the benetits of a livelihood by the vote and suffrages of a people largely instru- mental in electing the Collector, Mr. Henry Ziegen- hein, upon the Republican ticket; therefore, be it Resolved, that we, here in meeting assembled, denounce Deputy Collector Becxerfor the outrage tion draws near, 1 think I volce the sentiment of awreat many patrons when I venture to suggest, to the courteous managers of that famous institution, a few impfrove- ments on former wavs of conducting things. 1.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The police not long since made a great to- do in arresting and fining a lot of small mer- chants along Franklin avenue for obstruct- ing the sidewalk with goods. This is all well enough; but why shoulcalot of big mer- chants be allowed to trespassin the sa‘ne way with impunity? On Tenth and Elev- enth streets and Washington avenue and st. Charles street the large wholesale houses keep a double line of packing cases on the sidewalk until there is scarcely room to pass. These were especially in the way Thursday night, whenthe great crowds were surg- ing up and down during the illumina- tion. Toaddto the diseomiort that night one of the houses had porters and trucks at work, moving the cases about on the W alk, to the great inconvenience of passers-by.

Several persons have visited the offices of the United States Express Co., northeast corner of Fourth dnd 8t. Charles streets, in the last few days and expressed themselves forcibly abouta transaction in which they were the victims and the Express company the innocent tools. The alleged victimizer isa gentleman who resides in Jersey City, and signs himself withan anonymous K. on the waybills. Mr. John Becker, who con. ducts a saloon at No. 38400 South Sec. ond street, is the latest ° dupe. He received a postal card from the United States Express Co, yesterday inform- ing him that a package awaited himat their office. He did not know who could have sent him a package, but he presented bimself this morning at the express office to receive it. He was informed that thecost price, $1.10, was due. It was a forcible blind sale, but Mr. Becker, in his ignorance of the contents, believed thathe was getting the worth of his money and he thernfore paid the charge. Tearing off the covers, Mr, Becker was surprised and disappointed to find that he had paid $1.10for a New Testa- ment worth about 25 cents. Mr. Hecker is not the Only victim, for several others have received postal notices from the express company of pack- ages consigned to them. In each instance they receive a neatly wrap parcel, pay the $1.10 to be collected on delivery,and open.- ing their treasure behold the same cheapcop oi the New Testament.

A story wasin circulation yesterday that the corpse of a man was found sticking in the sand on the east bank of the river, and that the Coroner there finding it difficult to extricate the entire body, which was Dadly decomposed, had torn off the head 4nd one arm and carried them away tohold an inquest on while the rest of the body was left where found, ex- posed to water and wind, the object of the morbid curiosity of any who Might chance that way. Areporter who visited the East side yes- terday afternoon found the ag still lodged in the driftwood just below the Madison County ferry landing at Venice. It had been there, it was learfed, about ten days or two weeks. Mr. Bonner of Edwardsville, the Coroner of Madison County, had held an in: quest onthe portionofthe body he had ex- tricated. He had worked, it was stated, from lia. m.to 5 p. m.,in a fruitless en- deavor to extricate the entire body, and finally held a hasty inquest on the part of the body he had secured, and caught his train for home, employing a man named Ed Taylor to get he rest the body so as to give all the remains burial together. This man had sickness in bis family whith prevented his getting at the work immediately, hence the exposure of the body of which complaint had been made. Whenthe reporter was there yester- day the body was gone but the legs appeared to be still there, the body having evidently been torn apart againin endeavoring to ex- tricate it from the driftwood. Fragments of the dead man’s clothing were obtained when the body was first torn to feces. He wore black jeans ants and rown cotton coat or vest and a blue flannel shirt patched with cheviot witha little red stripe in it. William and Joe Bartley, living on this side of the river, found in the pockets two nickels and a dime, a match safe and key ring with key, which they will turn over to any one authorized to receive them. Under the same mass of drift, and not six feet from where this body was lodged, was thought, some days ago, to be the body of a woman. The swelling waves would allow glimpses of a woman’s Wearing apparel, and presumably there was a body there. She wore a light calico dress with ared stripe in itand a basque ofthe same description, and occasionally a chemise and a white skirt were disclosed. But no search for a body seems to have been made, and yesterday af- ternoon prodding with a stick revealed no traces of it. THEY WANT DIVORCES. Karl W.

STEVENSON AT BLOOMINGTON. ee . Synopsis of the Able Address of the Vice- Presidéntial Candidate to the Voters of Illinodis—Points of Difference Be-‘ tween the Two Parties—The Tariff and the Force Bill. BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Aug. 27.—There was a gathering of the Democratic hosts of McLean and the adjoining counties here to-day to hear Vice-Presidentiai candidate Adlai E. Stevenson and other representatives of the party speak. All the adjoining towns and Villages had delegates on the ground as early @sSthis morning, and later in the forenoon the excursion. trains began to arrive from Clinton, Pekin, Lincoln, Decatur and other points further away. The sturdy Democrats of the country immediately surrounding Bloomington came in wagons, on horseback and on foot, and by noon there were not less than 5,00 strangers thronging the streets. The speaking took place from a large platform which had been erected in Franklin Park, immediately in front of the Stevenson mansion. Besides the Various visitors, all the leaders in Central Tilinois and several invited guests occupied Seats On the structure. James &. Ewing, Mr. Stevenson’s law partner, was the presiding Officer, and when he called the assemblage to order there were at least 8,000 people crowded together under the trees facing the stand. Candidate Stevenson was the principal at- traction, of course, and his appearance was the signa! for long-continued cheering, which was renewed again and again until he waved his hana for silence. Mr. Stevenson began with a brief discus- Sion of the proposition that this is a govern- ment of the peopleand then referred to the importance of an intelligent and conscien- tious exercise of the privilege of choosinga President and deciding what line of pubiic policy should be pursued, Hethen proceed- ed to give some reasons why Mr. Cleveland should be elected President and the Demo- cratic party restored to power. One reason for Mr. Cieveland’s election is that his administration from 1885 to 1589 was confessedly an honest one. None of the pre- dicted eviis of which Democratic triumph wastobethe forerunner, followed his in- auguration. The administration has gone iiito history as. an economical and able ad- ministration of the Government. No scan- dals attached toany of its appointments to office. Under it the rights of all pruperty—of all sections—of allthe people, were rerog- nized and enforced. Under it the bonded debt of the Government was paid at ma- Lurity; trust funds were not usedtoavoid a Treasury deficit; and the gold reserve was noi menaced by threats of invasion to meet the current expenses of the Government. Under that administration no additional burdens were laid uponthe people. At the close of President Clevelanud’s administra- tion tke surpius inthe Treasury exc.usive of the gold reserve, was, in round numbers, $83, 000, 000, SURPLUS MELTED AWAY. Now, at the end cf three and a half years of tepublican administration, thls surplus has ineited away and the Secretary of the Treas- ury estimaies that there will bea deficiency for the present fiscal year of $52,009,000, if the law regardingthe sinking fund is complied with. Phe bankruptcy which now threatens the Treasury is the result, first, of the enact- ment of the McKiniey taritf law, and, sec- ondly, of the lavish appropriatious of the Fifty-first Congress. While the present Secretary ofthe Treasury was Obligel last Year toextend the payment Ot $25,000,090 oT government Donds, his Demo- cratic predecessor pald all bonds at maturil- ty. The large app: opriations of this present Congress Were iurgely necessitated by the reckless legisiition of ihe Repubiican prede- cessor. Besides,the present Kepuvlican Senate added more tuan $32,000,0 0to tue appropria- tion bDiils as they originally passed the Dem- ocratic House oi Representatives. THE TARIFF. The tariff isthe all-important issue of the pending campaign. Shali there bea revision of our tariffiaws, andas a consequence of such lexzislation a reduction of taxation; or, shall it become the policy of our Government to maintain, permaneltly, high protection? Yhe Kepublican party is for the McKinley bill and a prolhibitory tariff. The Democratic arty,as emphasized by its utterances and ts acts, is the advocate of tarilf reform, The issue is squareiy presented. Upon the one side are the advocates of a high protective or rohibitory policy—a policy tuat enriches the ewat the expense of the many. On the other the advocates of such reduction of tariff duties as will uivetoour manufactur- ersthe benefit of cheap raw material, and lessen tothe consumer the cost of the neces- saries of life. The plea that the tariff ls needed to protect **infant industries’’ is shown fallacious from the fact ceriain ‘‘infant industries’’ have been protecied since Ciay’s time, and in- stead of being lessened, protection has, year by year, under Republican rule, iucreased. In proportion as these Industries have grown stronger and move powerlul, they have de- manded yet greater protection, Mr. Stevenson asserted that the fifteen ears under the low tariff of 184 has een truly called the golden epoch of our history. ‘he cost of the necessaries o7 life had reached the minimum, andat no timein our history was it easier for the wage-earner to support his family. The farmer, the me- chanic, the day laborer, alike realized the benefit Of low taxation. Then the war came with its enormous bur- dens, which hau to be met by taxing nearly everything and everybody. After the war taxes were reduced, but the rich were the firstto be relieved, while the war taxes—the tariff taxes—not only remained, but were in- creased, untliithe McKinley law imposed a tariff that is practically prolibitory. The speaker then showed thatio the me- chanic and laborer protection has proved a delusion and a snare, and in no respect whatever canit beshownto have beneiited the farmer. The reai meaning of protection is: ‘‘Kobbery of the poor by the rich.’’ The contest upon which we have now en- tered is of deep significance tothe American people. Shall high tariff, continually in- creasing with the demands of the protected Classes, be the settled policy of our Govern- mient, or shallthere berelief tothe people from the burdens of unjust taxation?’ THE FORCE BILL. Another issue of great momentin the pend- ing contest is the force bili, The magnitude of this issue cannot be overstated. it may mean the control of the election of Repre- sentatives in Congress by the bayonet. The Republican party stands piedged by its plat- form to the passage ofa biil of this sort. Mr. Stevenson expressed his hearty ac- cordance with his party in its eiforts to repeal the compulsory schooi law passed by a Kepublican Legislature of illinois. It is passing strange that legislation so hostile to the spirit of ourtree institutions should ever have found its way to our statute books, The rigitt of the parent to exercise reasonable control over the eaucation of his child should not be abridged. Mr. Stevenson closed with an_ eloquent peroration predicting success in November. During the delivery of the address the audience manifested its appreciation of the telling points by applayse, and as the speaker concluved there was a renewal of the cheer- ing, lasting severai minutes. wr. Stevenson was followed by several other speakers andthe meeting did not dis- perse until late in the afternoon. To-night there will be a meeting of German yoters atthe Turner Hall, which will be ad- dressed by Commissioner Ramb, Herman Lieb of Chicago and others. A night meeting will also be held inthe Oourt-house Square, where Mr. stevenson Will probably speak brieily.

Last night the Daniel Frohman Lyceum company presented Arthur W. Pinero’s play, Lady Bountiful, toa house in which there was standing-room only. This piece, which won much success in England, is well cal- culated to bring out in the most forcible manner the strongest points |inthe acting ofthe Lyceum company, for there is little In the matter that tends to draw attention from the manner of the performance. The action proceeds in stereotyped lines from beginning to end, and after the openingof the second actno experienced theater-goer had his attention distracted by mental gym- nastics in the line of endeavoring to unravel the plot, as the end, and indeed almost every incident, could be foreseen with absolute certainty. That the interest was kept up un- abated wasa hightribute tothe excellence of the company. Miss Cayvan, as Camilla Brent, the Lady Bountiful, hai a character which, while not in itself remarkable tn any way, afforded her ample opportunity for the delicate emotional acting for which sheis famous and she fairly carried away the audience. As Roderick Heron, Mr. W. J. Le Moyne made the hit of the evening. His portrayal of the character of the smooth, oleaginous selfish parasite was so vivid and lifelikethat every man present felt a strong Gesire to spring upon the stage, and admin- ister a weli-deserved kicking. Charles Wal- cottand Mrs. Whiffen portrayed the char- acters of John and Mrs. Veale admirably, while Miss EMe Shannon as Margaret Veale handled the character with a delicacy and feeling that could not easily be surpassed. **Lady Bountiful’’ was given at the matinee this aiterncoh. To-night the‘‘Charity Bali’’ will close the engagement. SULLIVAN AND CORFETT AT TEE RING SIDE. ee A Question of $20.00 Will Soive ths Problem.

Ajax, Jacob Ruppert’s crack 2-year-old, is said to have covered six furlongsin 1:18 at Sheepshead Bay the other day. Bookmaker P. F. Brady, one of the best known ‘‘penciler3;’’ in the West, is on duty again after a month’s vacation. Advices from the Sheepshead Bay track are to the effect that Helen Nichols, the un- beaten Western filly, is still coughing badly. Small declaration fees and modest en- trances have increased the number of entries at Morris Park for 1893 some 30 per cent over the present year. ° The Bashford Manor stable, consisting of eight head all told, in charge of Trainer John Morris, arrived atthe Sheepshead Bay track Thursday from Saratoga. **Tod’’ Sloane was highly pleased over his victory on Osric last Wednesday, asit isthe firsttime he has hada winning mount for Messrs. Walcott & Campbell. Chaos, who wonthe Futurity of 1889, dled at Gloucester recently of some stomach trouble. He broke down In bis last race, and was being used as a saddle horse. Midgley has greatly improved since he has been in the employ of P. Lorillard,and prom- ises to make a good jockey. Matt Byrnes is greatly pleased with his!riding, as he has se- cured his services for 1893. Hennen Morris of Morris Park sails for En- giand to-morrow. He wiil return for the fall meeting at the park in October. Wyndham Waldenalsosalls by the same _ steamer. ned Nh purchase some horses while in En- gland. it is the ‘‘fad’’ for owners of leading sta bles to send their trainers to Europe on tours of inspection. John Huggins, M. Byrnes and J. W. Rogers are likely to follow Wyndham Walden onatripto England atthe close of the season, Treasurer George McManus officiated for the last time this season inthe box office at South Side Park last night. From now on Mr. McManus will preside as Business Man- ager of the Grand Opera-house, a position he has held for several years past. J. J. McCafferty was recently offered $15,000 by Mr. Belmont and $18,000 by Marcus Daly for his filly Helen Nichols, but refused both 49, offers. This refusal causes little surprise among those who know McCafferty wel , as he hag always had an ambition to rank among the leading turtmen in the country. Aloha, J. J. McCafferty’s crack, is just rounding to. Last Wednesday he moved grandly ina mile dash. Nero, another one ‘of McCafferty’s horses, worked a mile anda furlong onthe same dayin splendid shape. An Eastern turf authority, who witnessed his performance, says the animal is a grand mover. Time, ]:494. third. Time, Moonraker, T’s RACES. The card, which was won nby Mr. Cagley.

Speaking of the base ball situation in gen- eral, the other day, President Byrne of the Brooklyn Club went on record as follows: **There will be no big changes made for next season,’’ he said. ‘‘*Caplitalistsare not get- ting the returns they must have on account of big salaries, but there will be a fair and reasonable effort made to remedy that at the proper time. Players have not only been getting all the receipts of late, butjalso much of the magnates’ money, aniithat kind of thing can not continue, you know. We are having great ball playing nowadays, and I think it will be better next year. YESTERDAY'S GAMES. Yesterday’s ball game was a pitchers’ battle in which Mr. Ed Crane had the advan- tage over Mr. Baier, although the latter’s betting on the) work was very creditable. ‘‘Buck’’ Ewing Crochet, the favor- | was inthe game very extensively, his per- after a sharp strug- | fect catching and vigorous stick work bein India Rubber.

It mus be said that the cool weather seemed to take the ight outofthe home team, and though they played fairly well their work lacked snap and vigor, The summary: New York,3; St. Louis, 0.

The games will be for blood and the Browns are determined to put three long nails intheiropponents’ coffin. Game will be called at 3:30 0’clock, with Killen and Gleason in the points. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Get a wider bat, Mr. Moriarity. The great tail end fight will be inaugurated to-morrow. The 25-cent seats are more popular in Brooklyn than they are in New York. Little Jimmie Cooney, late of the Colts, is now playing second base for Providence, Pitcher McMahon of the Baltimores has been laid up by trouble with his pitching arm. George Shaeffer, the old Orator, is a ‘*bookie,’’ andisnowon the Diock at Glou- cester, Louls Bierbauer is putiing up the most brilliant fielding game of his career with the Pittsburgs. Four of the Baltimores are among the first nine batsmen—Tim O’Rourke, Frank Ward, Robinson and Van Haltren. Stephens, recently released by the Balti- mores, has been signed by the Cincinnatlis. He is to pitch for the Reds to-day. Mike Tiernan isagain laid up. In stealing second in the first Chicago game he hurt him- self severely and had to stop playing. There was a great commotion in local base ball circles last evening. Boom der Ahe fired his head lunch manand assistant barkeeper. Camp, the Browns’ new third baseman is a brother of Pitcher Camp of the Pittsburgs. If he continues in the form he showed yester- day, he’ll fill the bill. Comiskey has received terms from Mark Baldwin and has a Mullane-Stivetts dicker on hand. Thislatteris a regular option trade, as neither manisinsightand delivery is im- possible. Clausen of the Loutsville is superstitious enough to believe that the last club at the bat is the most lucky one, and therefore gen- erally advises, Capt. Pfeifer to take the iast innings. Buck Ewing’s glass arm was very trans parent yesterday. There wasn’t a spectator who couldn’t see through the easy, graceful way in which he threw out base runners, Buck’s a daisy. O’ Rourke and Doyle will need a couple of days’ rest after their leather chasing ex- pedition at King’s game,. <6 tk can thoroughly realize the effect/ of at time-tried aphorism: ‘‘Be chased and you’ll be happy.’’ The Washingtons follow New York, opening here Sunday. Then will commence the strug- le to see who’ll wear the tail-end yoke. The rowns have by far the better of the argu- ment and hope to clinch Washington’s hold on last place. President John B. Day, President of the New York Giants, is here with hisclub. Pres- ident Day practically heid the key tothe situation in the daysof the brother- hood war, and he lost heavily in his allegiance to the league cause. He is ope of the squarest of the capitalists who have devoted their time and attention tothe national game’s iIn- terests, and he has done more for base ball in New York City than anybody. AMATEUR GOSSIP. The St. Louis Amateurs will play at Quincy, Ill., next Sunday. The Richmond, Jrs., defeated the Pickets yesterday bya score of 10 to 9. They would like a game with clubs under 12 years of age. Address J. B. Miller, 4600 Bell avenue. The Leishmans want a game for Sunday, Address G. Morgner, 2800 Chouteau avenue. The Hudsons of Alton want to play some good club ia the 20-year-old class. Will play them in St. Louis Sunday afternoon. The F. C. Millers or Charter Oaks preferred, Address Thomas Robidan, 1405 North Broad- way. The Bitters-Saulsburys will cross bats with the West End Colored Clab at Compton ave- nue Park next Sunday. The Bitters will have ‘in their crack battery, Baldy and Hintz, while Benfro and Rayfield will officiate for the West Ends. The Rankins wanta game Sunday, Aug. 28, with some club in the 18-year-old class. Ad- dress Bob Reynolds, 11 Rankin avenue. The T. J. Quinns would like to have a game for Sunday morning. Thev will piay the Christian Brothers Sunday afternoon at col- legs grounds. Address E. J. Quinn, 720% Pine street. THE WHEEL. Chicago wheelmen are besieged with friends just now who would like their patronage next year. The latest bidders for their favors are the men who compose the World’s Athletic Association, who are anxious to build a half- mile cement track at Windsor Park, on which fw Cee Bie Straight Cigars in the United States, (For Sale by all First- Class Dealers.) to hold the tournaments during the World’s - Fair season, the national meet races and the international races. Itis proposed by thig association to put up $10,000 more than any other corporation will putup to provide for the cyclists. And, what is more to the point, the track they will build will be permanent. A Windy City wheel authority discussing the offer says: *‘‘Before the associated clubs con- clude to throw themselves into the arms of the Chatham Fields folks it might be well if they inquired what they will have to show for the deal after the fair is over. Heaven knows they , want a decent track more than all e se. WHEEL NOTES. The L. A. W. now numbers 29,212 members, and surely would bean important factor in. politics should they take such a stand. Zimmerman and Windle will not meet at Cleveland to-morrow as was expected, Windle has Field. Taxcis will double up with Zimmerman thig fall for the London records of which the lat- ter and Bradbury of England were shorn by Dorntye and Penseyres. Consider Sanger one of the cracks. man who can beat Zimmerman in a half-mile by a yard and a half, with a twenty-yard ro a in 1:07% isa good one and no mis- take. One of the funny features of the color ques- tion which has of late been mildly rockin some sections of the L. A. W., is that almos since the beginning of the League there have been a few negroes on its roll and no one hag been any the wiser. SPORTING NOTES. The annual reunion and Knights of Father Mathew will take place at the Fair Grounds to-morrow afternoon. The athletic events are all well filled with the best talent in the city, and in consequence some first-class sport is expected to result. Ooms, the Dutch sculler, has a wonderful clean and clever beginning to his stroke an throws immense power into the finish. He sits low in his boat, going back to the style that prevailed in England before the Austra- an engagement at Manhattan ~ Any. icnic of the. lians came with the idea of sitting high at their work. ; Pianos for Rent.
