LOUIS: TUESDAY * — — — ING, AUGUST 22. 144 * — — — rtin Peterson’s Story of Cruelty at Jefferson Barracks. Thrown Into the Guard-House and Neglected When Sick. FINALLY DISCHARGED FROM THE SEE- VICE WHEN NOT ABLE TO WALK. Horrible Tale of a Young Ex-Soldier, Who Ie Now atthe Baptist Bospitel—His Statements Given a Semblanvs of Truth by the Barracks’ Records—Ool- Young’s Statement. Martin Peterson, a young man 22 years of age, until yesterday morning a United States soldier at Jefferson Barracks, is now lying in somewhat of a critical condition at the Baptist Hospital, Nineteenth and Carr streets, the result of an operation performed yesterday at noon, necessitated, it is alleged. by the inhuman treatment the ex-soldier re- ceived at the hands of the chief surgeon and other officers at Jefferson Barracks Curing the past three weeks. Peterson until the 8th of June, 1883, resided At 2 North Halstead street, Chicago. On that date he came to St. Louis to join the army, and on June. 9. 1883. he enlisted at Jefferson Barracks as a recruit of Troop B of the instruction regi- ment of Mounted Service to serve five years. He served until about three weeks ago, when he reported tothe commanding department that he could not ao duty longer until he re- ceived medical attention, as it was impos- sible for him to longer ride or walk owing to his condition. This was the signal for an jnvestication and the commencement of Peterson’s trouble. When seen last evening at the Baptist Hospital he had just been operated upon, and was lying on his cot in Ward 18 of the institution suffering excru- Clating pain. He gave his version of his trials and tribu- lations at the Barracks, which he pleaded to have printed in his own words. His story told between groans was as follows: PETERSON’S STORY. Ven I wentto the Barracks I was in good health and never had a blemishb on me. I left Chicago to go to the Barracks because I was a shoemaker h½ trade, and I was de- sirous of obtaining out door employment. I performed my duties asa soldier as long as J could work to the entire satisfaction of my superiors, I judge, forl was rarely ever re- primanded and was never placed in the guard house. Three weeks ago l contracted a disease which incapacitated metodo duty asrequired. [knewthatif I was taken to the hospital I would be on duty againin a week ortwo and accordingly reported my case to Ur. K. H.White, the chief surgeon of the hospital. After the case was reported to the commanding officer, Lieut.-Col. S. B. M. Young of the {th Cavalry, I was sent tothe hospital, where Iwas permitted to remain seven or eig it days without medicine or without attention. Noone asked about my case, or rather 1 was never examined during tieese eight days by any physician at the in- stitution. I was growing worse all the time and asked for some sort of medical atten- tion. Instead of receiving the desired atten- tion Dr. ajors informed Lieut. Bingham that I had sufficiently recovered to report for duty again, and 1 was taken before Com- mandin Officer B. M. Young, and afterwards before Lieut. Slocum, who had me dragged fo the guard-house because I was unable to work. Herel was kept in confinement for nine consecutive days without any attention of any kinga, and as my case was growing somewhat desperate, and I suffering untold ny each and every day, I begged to be neved from the guard-house, probably king some sort of a promise in order to n what little liberty I had left after join- gthearmy.

HAY WAGON ON FIRE. A Spectaciec Which Created Excitement on Easton Avenue. A team of fiying horses attached to a wagon loaded with hay which was on fire was the spectacle which startled the residents on Easton avenue at about about 4700 at 10 a. m. to-day. The wagon belonged to ©. C., Randy, a farmer near Normandy, inst. Louis County, and he was bringing the hay to the St. Louls market to sell, When passing Cora place some one set fire to the hay, and soon it was a mass of flames. The team becoming frightened ran away, scattering the hay along the street. Randy escaped by jumping to the street. Fire engine, No. 27, on Kaston avenue, near Taylor avenue, was called out, but when it arrived, the team was out of sight. {The wagon and horses were uninjured, the hay having all been thrown off of the wagon in the run- away. -The team was recovered.

THE RAILROAD COMPANY WERE AC- COMPANIED BY MILITIA. ‘ The Taunts of the Crowd Provoked the Firing of the First Gun by a National Guardsman and the Killing of Richard Paifitt — A General Fight Immediately Ensued, Sticks, Stones and Rifles Be- ing Used — The Dead and Injared— Crime. GILBERTON, Pa., Aug. 22.— The tearing up of the Schuylkfill Traction Co. 's tracks here last night by the borough officials may result disastrously. When the company’s officials heard of the action of the Gilberton author- ities they immediately sent a force of men to try and effect an amicable settlement. Whenthe break in the road was reached President R. E. Jones, of the Traction com- pany, with Richard Amour, of Shena ndoah, Chief of Police, got off the car and in a few minutes had effected a settle- ment, and the work of tearing up the tracks was stopped. In the car wasa number of men taken on at Girardville, members of the National Guard, who had with them rifies belonging tothe company. While the railway officials were engaged in conversing with the borough officers some of the crowd taunted the men on board the car and called out: Where is the Girardville militia.’’ Aman named John Briggs of Girardville stepped out and said: Here we are, accompanying his saluta- tion with an oath. Leveling his rifle he fired into the crowd, killing Richard Paifitt, a spectator. ' Chief Amour and President Jones had set- tled the trouble and Briggs shot over Amour’s shoulder. This immediately enraged the people and stones were thrown; shots from the car became general and for a while a most terrific battle en- sued. Chief Amour tried to subdue the trouble, and while in the act of stopping his men was shot in the breast, and may die. It is supposed he was shot by one of hisown men. The dattle raged for an hour Or more, until the cooler headed people of Gilberton prevailed upon the crowd to dis- perse, and the dead ana injured were then looked after. In addition to Paifit, Willlam Hughes, aged 19, of Gilberton, an on-looker, was shot and instantly killed. Richard Connors was shot in the hand and leg; not dangerous, Evan David, shot in leg, which will have to be amputated. James Hullihan had his skull fractured by a stone and may die. Briggs, who started the riot, was shot by a companion accidentally,and received a scalp wound, and aiso wounded in the leg. When the trouble had quieted down Briggs escaped,and running toward Manhoey Plain, hid in a barn, but was captured and to- gether with Arthur Wiville, also a member of the Girardvilile militia, was taken to the Pottsville jail. The people about Gilberton were infuriated atthe action of the railroad men, none of whom they claim were officials of the com- pany. Some were employes and some were outsiders picked up solely for the purpose of fighting. This is shown in the fact that rifles were borrowed from the members of the Girardville militia. Armour, when he saw trouble rising, tried his utmost to prevent bloodshed and is now sorry he allowed his men to be armed. Had there been no weapons in the posse’s hands no trouble would have arisen. Everything quieted down when the railroad company’s forces were withdrawn and out- side of an excited populance talking over the distarbance nothing has transpired to cause any repetition of the trouble.

Thecrimeis a doubi one, and the most diabolical in the history of the county. After assaulting Mrs, Will, an invalid, he met his own niece, 11 years old, and assaulted her. While the child was still unconscious he hung her to a tree. He then returned to his home and severely beat his wife and one of her children. Charging his wife to keep him provided with food he armed himself and went into thé woods. The Sheri: of Douglass County was notified and a warrant sworn aut against Meyers. A posse was sworn in and the hunt was begun in earnest. Meyers was traced from Burgettsford to Andy Gwinn’s dig woods pasture, and there the posse sighted him as he was entering the woods. Over fifty shots were fired at him, but none of them hit the outlaw. Meyers in turn fired at the posse, slightly wounding one of the citizens. The little girl he hung is not expected to live, and this fact makes the citizens thirsty for his diood. Throughout the night the man-hanters kept watch on the outskirts of the timber in which Meyers is concealed. Fires blazed at irregular intervals along the line of scouts and some slept others kept watch in turn day broke. The Sheriff of Douglas is a brave officerand itis expected that he will call together a small posse of valiant citizens and well armed they will enter the w 8 and either kil) or drive the hunted man from his lair before the day is over.

BREAD AND WORK. Desperate Cry of the Workingmen of Milwaukee—Trouble Feared. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 22.—A mob of over 0,000 unemployed laborers marched through the streets to the Court-house and called for the Mayor this morning. When Mayor Koch made his appearance he was greeted with cries of ‘‘breaa’’ and work. Several workmen made speeches and de- manded that the city officials go to Washing- ton and have the law which made hard times repealed. They said they must have work or their families would starve. Mayor Koch advised them to re- turn to their homes and procure work wherever they could. He said the city would soon have money enough to prosecute public improvements and give many men work. The mobthen retired. On the way to the Court-house the crowd looted a candy stand and — some of a fruit mer - chant’s stock. Last night a party of workmen which had just been discharged, — a baker's wagon on North avenue and compelled him to giveup his stock of bread. The same party went into a saloon and ordered beer, which they drank and refused to pay for. Some ofthe agitators promise a larger and more sensational gathering to-morrow. MAY USE FORCE.

The C&mpaiga of capitalists seeking a new supply of interest-bearing Govermament bonds did pot denne themselves to any one point of assault. Why. they operated to break down the gold reserve, and to thagextentimpair the public credit; they startied the country and thrilled the world with the ery that americas gold was running away from the silvet-biasted country, chased out by silver money, and that there was no way to lure it back except to balt plentifully with Government bonds. The sher- Winn act was made to de double «uty, and was éharged with grave offensesin whieh it had no part. He never believed thatour silver nad driven cold frem the country and la tule connection he recalled the wall of dismai prophecy whenin 1878 the attempt was madetocheck the torrent oft bamkruptcy and ruin occasioned by the demonetization of silver in 1873. It was predicted that gold would fly tothe ut- termost parts of the earth from beneath the folds of the American fag te escape the contamination of sliver. What did oecur? The Government coined $24,000,000 of silver per year for tweive years and meantime the gold increased at the rete of $40,000,- 000 per year Such was the fulfillment ofthe proph- ecy of 18785, and yet he was now ex- pected to bellere that the free colmage of silver ata proper ratio would banish all our «old and put us on asingie silver basis. He must be pardoned for believing nothing of the kind. The coid shipments are to be accounted for as part of the plan to sack the Treasury, which wasjto be ac- accompanied by a concerted outcry from the terror- stricken business ecircies and from the whole national banking system that nothing could restore confidence and eredit save the issuance of $300,- 000, 000 of bouads. He had so desire to assail the national banks. It was the system he arraigned and not the individuals who condueted it. The wtunrestricted, usarestrained and unbridled wer of these banks whereby the circulation of money in the hands of the people can often and has fluctuated from a pros- perous maximum to a stansed minimum, consti- tuted a standing and frightful menace against the safety, the welfare and the bappiness of the greatest and most useful body of the American people. The idea presented was appalling and no other nation on earth had permitted such power to private arties. In the attempt to force the Government mto the attitude of a borrower, to escape bank- ruptey, the banks had endangered their own credit the tote a strict parity and interchangeabie with every other dollar, thus securing to the people the benefits and advantages of both a State curreney and a national currency ,cireulating in harmony and uniformity,and performing all the functions of money at home and a road. 4. The settlement of the vexed question of silver money at once and forever by — it to form its portion ef the specie basis required by the cor- stitution for every chartered bank in the Union; by recognizing it when defining the power of the States to make legal tender money, thus making the use of sliver, coined into money, as imperative as will be useful to the great — of the people. 5.

To these five propositions Mr. Voorhees added but one more—a carefully adjusted end graded income tax—a mest equitabie an rr measure in pro- viding Government revenue and demanded by old- fashioned and eternal justice. In contiusion Mr. Veorhees said: And now in the meantime, and in view of the present crisis, full of peril as itis, let the whoie people of the United States of every commonwealth, and of every neigh- borhood, cast out their fears and abide in aa un- shaken faith that the present disasters will pass away and be followed, as soon as much needed re- forms can be accomplished, oy the unbrogen sun- light of prosperity, and that e who determines the destiny ef nations will cause the Kepubiic of their fathers to win an not to lose in the transcendent mission to which it was dedicated a hundred years ago. Senator Voorhees’ speech was listened to with the greatest interest and attention. Nearly every Senator wasin his seat, many members ef the House occupied the sofas in the rear and the galleries contained the larg- est crowd of the session. The presiding om - cer was obliged to threaten to clear the gal- leries in order to repress the applause called forth by Mr. Voorhees’ affirmation of all reference to Cleveland and other strong points. IN THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, D.

The telegram is signed by all the editors of the newspapers, the heads of the banks and prominent business men, about equally di- vided as to politics.

Who had not seenthe boast that the masagers of the national banks by concerted action could at a week's notice bring Congress itself a suppliant as their feet? Inthe midst of a fair and reasonable degree of prosperity, the volume of our circulat- ing medium, even while the people were looking at it, suddeniy shriveied away and practically van- ished from thoir sight as if by some infernal enchantment, money disappeared in a single night and left the people mourn- ing and dee trouble when the morning ceme. led the mes in busi- nese and the toiling millions whe suffer most been tempted in their distress to say that there was no longer money in this country, the books showed that something more than $1,500,000,000—nearly $24 per capita--were in circulation within the past year, and should be in circulation to-day. The Gov- ernment was notin direct contact with the citizens on this subject. The -national banks were between the Government and the people, and in their vaults to-day lay hidden millions and hundreds of millions—not less than two-thirds ef the whole amount dedicated to circulation on the books of the Treasury, heid there by cowardly, unpatriotic fear which has always haunted great earthly possessions. Could any one blind to the fact that the ban«s hed not only and without cause, except their own Interest, turned their keys on all business prosperity, but that they had also attempted to seize the Gor- ernment itself by the throat and to play bully and mastiff towards those highestin authority. In this coanection another great evil arising from the selfish and greedy instincts of the money wer demanded thoughtful attention. On general principles the eontraction of the currency throughout the whole country was an object eagerly sought by thas limited but powerfnal class of people who control four-fifths of the wealth and nearly the entire volume of the circulating medium of the United States. The power of the millionaire overthe property, the labor and the very livesef the people depended not merely upon the great sum iu his own coffers, but equally as much and fear more on the fact that the great industrial classes had scarcely any money at all im their hands and were depriveu of every reasonabie chance to obtain money.

The opening sketch was a dainty bit of senti- ment, giving Miss Cayvan an opportunity for delicate emotional work. The Gray Mare. anew York success that was produced here for the first time, isa comedy with a moral, but the didactic spjrit is not obtrusive. The lesson taught is the danger and mutility of fibbing. The story is rather drawn out, but the comedy is well sustained and in the hands of A most capable company the interest never fia gs and the enjoyment iscontinuous. All 7 e old Lyceum favorites are in the cast and were warmly greeted by the large audience present. It is needless to say that iu an un- exacting comedy Messrs. Kelcey, Le Moyne Cook, Walcott, Ratcliffe and Williams did acceptable work. Misses Georgian Oayvan and K Me Shannon are again the leading ladies of the company.

That + be, Major, dut the Mayor has the list on his desk. Ohl you must be mistaken. There is no such list as I tell you, on my word of honor. I have made no appointments for the Mayor to approve.’’ The presumption is, of course, that the Street Commissioner was s king the truth, and this little incident only tends to show how little he is regarded at present in the department, where he is supposed to be the head and have full control. To make his humiliation greater the new Republican broom, Oapt. Macklind, sent him the following list of names with an order that they be removed: P. Finn, C. Dunn, E. E. Culien, J.

Prof. Waterhouse of Washington Univers!i- ty, who Is visiting the Columbian Exposition, views the Fair from an educator's stand- point and appeals strongly to parents not to let slip the opportunity of bringing their children in contact withthe world’s scien- tific and artistic triumphs there exhibited. Under date of Aug. 21 he writes: The Columbian Exposition is superb. Civilization has never yet make a finer dis- play of its products. The pavillions of the fair are crowded with the brilliantly beauti- ful masterpieces of every art and handicraft. The competition of nations has made the Exposition a vast museum of the most ex- quisit productions which human skill is capable of fashioning. The millionsof ob- jects of use and beauty which filis its halls are full of instruction. It is a school which all the people of the United States ought to attend. Its lessons would an in- calculable benefit to American youth. Never again in their lIives will most of the boys and girls of thiscountry have another — n to see the great miracies which human art has wrought. A visit to the Exposition isthe nearest approach to a trip around the world. Though the times may demand economy, the journey is well worth all the sacrifices it will cost. Parents should visit the Fair for their own improve- ment, and take with them all oftheir chil- dren who are old enough to comprehend its instruction. Astudy of the products of all nations will broaden the mind and awaken a spirit of intellectual inquiry. Many a youth will and inthe sug«estions of this Fair the inspiration to great achievements in art and science. American parents will negiect a rare opportuatty if they fail to give them- selves and their children a chance to study the splendid lessons which the Columbian Exposition teaches.’’ Last Performance To- Night. Positively the last performance of that gorgeous fireworks spectacle, 'The battle between the Monitor and Merrimac,’’ will be given at New Sportsman’s Park to-night. It will embrace all the beautiful pyrotechnic displays that have been delighting the large audiences for the past few weeks, and will include in addition aspecial exhibition of pyrotechnic portraiture, which will display the pictures of several prominent citizens in fireworks and conclude with the“ Burning of Mayor Walbridge.’’ This being the fare- well rformance, the Management has de- cided $3 present an especially attractive pro- mme, and several new military and spec- tacular features will accordingly be shown.

Mrs. James Fiavin’s Alleged Cruelty to a Littie Boy. B. H. Alexander of. 4243 Cook avenue swore out a warrant to-day against Mrs. James Flavin, living at 4219 Cook avenue, charging her with whipping Hubbard Alexander, the 6- year-old son of Mr. Alexanaer with a bugey whip yesterday af- ternoon. Mr. Alexander brought the boy with him to the prosecuting attor- ney’s office. Thechild hada welt across his face extending from the mouth to the back of his peck on the left side. Mr. Alexander, the father of the boy, is Secre- tary of the Krum Livery Co. whose stable was burned at Channing avenue and Locust street some time ago. Heheld a position at the Custom-house under Free- man Barnum when Barnum was Collector of Internal Revenue for the port of St. Louis. Alexander's father, B. W. Alexander, is a well-known business man and extensive real estate owner. Mrs. Fiavin’s husband 1s President of the James Hogan Printing Co. Mr. Alexander stated that yesterday after- noon about 5 o’clock his boys and some other children among whom was a son of Police Commissioner Lee, were playing circus in his stable. They needed a curtain stick and started aown the alley in search of one. As they were near the Flavia residence a girl living next door to the Flavin's accosted | the boys and wanted to know what they wanted, asking them if 29 were trying to steal some more grapes. She told them that they had better look outor the Flavin boys would get atter them. Just then two sons of Mrs. Flavin rushed out into the alley, it is alleged, and the other boys ran. Mr. Alexander stated that Mrs. Flavin, who had just returned from a drive, appeared on the scene at this juncture, and, catching Hubbard Alexander, whipped him with her buggy whip up alley for a distance of about 150 feet, and did not desist until she observed that she was being seen by a Mr. 1 who lives two doors from Alexander. r. Alexander returned home a few minutes after the occurrence and found his son rolling on the grass and scream- ing in agony, Alexander stated that the boy’s body hada number of welts on it, aad offered to strip the chiid and show them.

Senator Voorhees as Chairman of the Sen- ate’s Finance Committee, has made a speech supporting the Administration’s demand for unconditional repeal of the silver purchase law, but reiterating at the same time his long tried devotion to bi- metallic free coinage, greenback inflation, State banks of issue, and lavish pension payments as a means of easing thé money markets and promoting industrial activity and prosperity.! It is from this old platform on which he has stood so longin opposition to the national bank system andto the issue of interest-bearing bondsin place of green- backs that the Indiana Senator urges the repeal of the Sherman act as an obstacle to the currency reforms he demands. He pleads with the free coinage men to trust the President and Secretary Carlisle as honest bimetallists and to help them re- store bimetallism by repealing the great- est obstacle to thefulfillment of their de- sires. This is unquestionably the ground on which many free silver men will vote for unconditional repeal. The division in the free-coinage ranks foretold by the Post-DIsPATCH will probably be the only efiect of the attempt to unite the silver Democrats against the repeal of an act for which they all refused to vote. _ —, — “WHITE CAP REFORM.’ If Judge-Jury Walbridge, his counsel and crew of White Cap witnesses know how and have any sense of shame or self- respect left they will earnestly pray that Judge Fisher will grant the writ of pro- hibition in the Reid removal case and thus deliver them from the odious travesty of reform they have undertaken. In the very plea set up in opposition to the petition fora writ of prohibition the counsel of the Republican White Caps de- nies the application of the State law to the case on the ground that Commissioner Reid was not charged with corrupt or willful neglect or violation of duty. Under this interpretation the sum of the charge is that he has been guilty of several acts of carelessness and bad judgment. The SUNDAY Post-DIsPATOH submitted a few facts from the official records of this galaxy of reformers who are trying to in- vest a spoils grab with the odor of sanc- tity, showing how competent they are to pass upon official shortcomings. It was shown that Mayor Walbridge while in the Covnoil had extensive experience in neg- lect of duty and bad judgment, too, unless he chooses to plead guilty to something worse. It was shown that Principal Wit- ness MoMath knocked’ the city out of a large sum of money with his official blunderbuss, and is now combining private business with public office in violation of law. It was shown that Witness Holman, as Water Commissioner, has run the city on the edge ofa water famine twice within two years and is now far behind in important work to avoid the contamination of the water supply. It was shown that Witness Southard as Sewer Commissioner let the Mill Creek sewer blow up and kill four citizens through neglect and that Witness Gabel as Deputy Comptroller let a steal of $64,000 in the Treasurer’s office slip by his notice. But why expatiate? The expert- ness of these witnesses to official neglect and bad judgment will be freely conceded. The crowning triumph, however, of this bit of partisan Pharisaism, the painting of the lily of hypocriay, so to speak, is the —_— use of Marshall, the friend and counselor Walbridgism. Col. Ed Butler, posing as a public bene- factor and pointing to a slop-reduction factory a8 a fragrant flower garden, is a monument of honest worth beside these White Cap reformers. — “ THE POLICEMAR’s PISTOL. The disposition to condemn a police- man out Of hand for the use of his pistol is as reprehensible as the disposition to con- done his every act of violence in his of- ficial capacity. Both dispositions are manifest in the case of Officer Boehm, who shot Vinéent Killian. It may be laid down asa general prin- ciple that a policeman has no more right to use a révolver than the ordi- nary citizen. He is warranted in using it only in self-defense when in great bodily peril. He has no power over life and death. He cannot punish an offense, an attempt to escape or ordinary resistance, in which there is no menace to his own life or limb, with death. But in determining his criminal re- sponsibility for killing in the discharge of his duty several points in his favor must be given full weight. He must keep the peace and make arrests at any hazard. He continually takes his life in his hands and assumes great risks. He deals with des- perate and dangerous men. His duty compele him to earn the venge- ful hatred of the vicious. He is called upon frequently to exercise instant judgmentin a quéstion of life or death and his existence depends upon the promptness of his decision and action. While the authority of the law imposes upon him the exercise of the greatest care his duties subject him to the severest tests of patience and judgment. The natural impulse of the associates of victims of the policemen’s pistol, espe- cially when they are criminals, is to place the officer in the worst possible light, and they are often unscrupulous in the manufacture of evidence for this purpose. Officer Boehm may be guilty of murder, but he cannot be regarded as such until tried and convicted by the evidence in a court of law. Heisentitled toa fair trial and to a presumption of innocence until legally convicted. — t e —-_- — A LITTLE CHARITY. Whenever the Government makes a mis- take the keenest sufferers are persons of small means who have nothing but their labor to sell. Incrises Mike the present, which is wholly ot legislative manufacture due to the blundering of demagogic or stupid ‘‘statesmen,’’ many rich men will lose large sums. But for the most part they will not suffer any real deprivation or feel the pinch in any serious subtraction from personal comfort. The wrong done by vicious legislation is felt by rich and poor, but the poor have to bear the worst of the burden. There is some reason in the demand made by the unemployed that society take care ofthem. Society, through its authorized representatives, has brought about the situation which is so hard on them, and it would seem that some reparation is due to the chief sufferers. This thought ought at least to temper the condemnation visited upon those whose desperation and hunger drive them to the commission of unlawful deeds. A little substantial charity is more in place just now than denunciation and hate. —_—————- &-- — — IN the arrangement of committees and distribution of chairmanships Speaker Crisp has shown very shrewd understand- ing of the political situation and has cleverly avoided factional censure. The appointment of Mr. W. L. Wilson to the Chairmanship of the Ways and Means isa guarantee that tariff reform will be tariff reduction, and that the work will be done thoroughly. Mr. Springer’s transfer to the important Committee of Banking and Currency may be taken by that gentleman as a degradation, but if he uses his oppor- tunities he can make himself as useful and conspicuous as in his old place. The re- tention of Mr. Bland at the head of the Coinage Committee was ‘‘good politics.’’ The silver wing of the party is conciliated, and with the veto power to fall back on, the gold men can well afford that con- cession, —« — eo - —_— — MOHAMMED ALEXAKDBR RUSSELL WEBD is publishing a very able Mohammedan monthly journal in New York. The Moslem World may yet report to the Sultana large following in the United States, much as the habits and customs of this country appear to Clash with Islamism. Not only is the Mohammedan paradise declared more jattractive than the Christian heaven, but the World assures its readers that in every Mussulman community on earth the degree of morality is far greater and the criminal record at least 00 per cent lower than in any community of a corre- sponding size in England or America. If Mr. Webb can improve the morals of either New York or Chicago by any religion known to mankind, he will meet with no great amount of Ohristian opposition anywhere.

Nero fiddled while Rome was burning. John Sherman twaddles while tue country is going to the dogs. The Ohio Senator writes a letter in which he treats the presents financial troubles very cavalieriy, declaring that all that Is needed is an increase of currency of the national banks and the suspension of the further purchases of silver builion.’’ But he adds that he does not consider the repeal of the purchasing clause of hisown silver law as ‘‘important,’’ except to dissipate the fears of the capitalists, . After John Sherman’s party had squan- dered a Treasury surpius of 5100, 000, 000, had depleted the Treasury of gold until the $100, - 000,000 gold reserve was threatened and im- paired, had paralyzed business by the Me- Kinley tariff and had involved the country in enormously extravagant appropriations through the prodigality of the Billion Dollar Congress, they left the Government com- pelled by the Sherman act to buy large amounts of silver builion and to pay for tt with the little gold they had left in the Treasury. Now, John Sherman says in a flippant manner, that he does not consider the repeal of the silver purchasing clause of his ruinous law important. For a really able financier what a political humbug John Sherman is. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. - appear under this head. — Ep. Labor for Free Coinarze. To the Editor of the Poat- Dispatch: The communication in the Forum of last Saturday’s issue of the Postr-DIsPaTcHu, over the signature of D. C. Humphreys, draughts- man, reads like the emanations of one who has studied the gold-bug philosophy of finance assiduously, but in my estimation his series Of affirmations and deductions are purely speculative—as valueless in the arena of financial discussion as speculation in lots and bonds is in the marts of industry and trade. Neither has substantial asis. His ‘‘melting-pot’’ theory is rot and it sounds bad. He ought to Know that such a demand as he pictures would send silver toan equal Value of gold in a very short time, not speaking of the enhanced value afforded by the recognition of it as money of a staple government like the United States. The wage theory he also ad- vances sounds plausible, but where is his basis for such conclusions? It seems to me thatthe only thing that will increase the price of those things we consume is shortness ofsupply relative to demand. If wheatis scarce it ought to command a price, but under present conditions those who fix the price of gold also fix the price of wheat, and by bulling the one and bearing the other we see the latter selling at less than 60 * — a bushel. Under an expanded cur- rency, that could not be controlled by the speculators in foreign markets, this could not Ve, andthe farmer would havea show to live and save his farm from the Shy- locks’ gfasp. Business is dull when the gol- ume of purchasing power is low, and how could it be lower when the larger part of our population is being bodily buncoed out of the products of their labor above a bare sub- sistence? Expandthe currency and break the corner that Eastern and foreign Sshy- locks have placed upon it, and the wheels of — — 1 will revolve rapidly. the great agri- cultural class will be enabled to get a fair re- turn for their efforts, their purchasing power will be enhanced. This willincrease the demand for the productsof theloom and workshop and wages will rise. Our country is great enough and substantial enough to stand independent of forel nations. We are hot dependent on England, nor do we need English xoods. We can manufacture our own materials if England is going to get on her dignity because we do not do as she wants us to do, The Eastern and foreign money lenders are behind this contraction of the currency scheme and the West will never stand it. Mark the prediction. In conclusion I desire to say that the large m>»jority of workingmen are with the farm- ers in this fight and if a vote could be taken my assertion would be found true, All la bor organizations are in favor of bimetallismand would vote for free coinage. In fact the labor leaders, with few excep- tions, will be found to be greenbackers and believers in the flat dollar as the only ‘‘hon- est dollar.“ That's my belief, although 1 have only recently come to this conclusion, after a thorou uestion. gh study of mae Se CUSTER.

Anton Von Palitchek-Paimferst, the Im- perial Austrian Commissioner, and Raphael Kune, who came here with their commission as the commercial representatives of Vienna, have aroused the wrath of many exhibitors im the Austrian section of Manufacturers’ Bull Ging by selling space over the heads of legitimate exhibitors to certain persons who have turned the Austrian section into huge bazaar. When that section was Opened to public only faint praise could De bestowed on the commission for the grade and arrangement of the display. Articles of the crockery store variety were given a con- spicuocus place and quickly plastered with gold“ labels which also contained the names of the purchasers. More artistic ex hidits which dia not come in the for sale“ list Were relegated to side aisies and the rear, This condition became worse when show cases were put in the section and works of akt removed to make room for goodstosell. The latest move in this direction is the introduction of a show- case filled with laces which are being sold to- day without any concession having been ob- tained from the Expositionor any money being paid except $2,800to Kuhe. He is ac- cused of being the middleman in the space- selling scheme, and Kuhe, who lives with the Austrian Commissioner-General, divides the profits with his chief.

There was a scene in the big live stock pavilion to-day that was more pleasing to the eye than that masterpiece of Rosa Bon- heur, Ihe Horse fair.’’ The blue - biooded horses of the world were there pawing and snorting and plunging about in vain efforts to free themselves from the galiy attired grooms. It was the regular morning cavaicade and all the magnificent animals of the horse family were out on dress rade.

Labor Situation. Toreka, Kan., Aug. 22.—Telegrams re- ceived here this morning show that the threats made by President Walters of the Coal Miners’ Union, to prevent miners going to work at Frontenac ia the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe Rallroad Co. s mines, were not idle. At a meeting held in Frontenac Sunday he said that the strikers sbould not carry out the contract made with the company until it has been sanctioned bythe union. He de- clared then that he would send 2,000 men to Frontenac to drive all persons from the mines. The first company of the 2,000 men, fifty in number, arrived at Frontenac last night and went into camp near the mines. At 8 o' clock this morning 300 more of Walters’ men arrived from Weir City and Pittsburg and went into camp. The manager of the mine called on the Sherif of Orawford County, who deputized as many merchants and professional men as he coula find before day break this morning, and started for the scene of the threatened battle. Guns were telegraphed for to all of the neighboring towns by Man- ager Wilson, who is in charge of the Santa Fe mines, and every possible preparation was made to protect miners who desired to resume work. The Sheriff is handicapped in getting men sufficient to cope with the Walters crowd, and if the threat- ened clash comes he will be com- pelled to ask the Governor for the militia. Thirty men went to work in the minesat 6 o’clock this morning, but the presence of Walters and crowd intimidated a large majority of those who signed the agreement. Twohundred were ready to go into pits this morning, but they were pre- vented from doing so by Walters and his mob. The company will resist with all the force that it is able to muster any attempt of the strikers to move upon the company’s employes, and unless Walters backs down from his present warlike attitude, blood will surely follow to-day. "LOXGSHOREMEN STRIKE. New YORK, Aug. 23.—Over 1,000 longshore - men struck yesterday on the piers, of the Mallory, Ward and Clyde lines against reduction of 5 cents an hour in thelr wages. The steamers ofthe Ward line are the Untted States mail steamers and are bound by contract to sail on time. The men objected to the retention of Assistant super intendent Shields, who, they assert, is a slave driver, and say he ‘must go or be trans- ferred to some other position. The men on the other lines where the reduction was an- nounced quit in a body. No violence as yet has been attempted. At the pliers of the companies named work is at a complete standstill with the exception of Pier 29 of the Clyde line, where a number of Swedes have been secured at 25 cents per hour. DISLIKE THE NEW RULES, VIRGINIA. III., Aug. 22.—The Virginia Coal Co.’s men, about thirty in all, have struck because of a new set of rules submitted by the management.

Business Session Takes Up the Entire Day—To-Night's Programme. The Kriegerbund held its final business meeting this mornirzg at Military Hall, on Twelfth and North Market streets, Pres- ident Fritz Halle was in the chair and quite a large number of delegates were in attendance. A number of resolutions and motions of interest to the delegates came up for discussion. The first debate was upon the subject of the society flag, which was reférred toa committee for decision. The invitation of the German societies of Chicago to attend the ceremonies on German — Ag Sept. 2, was accepted dy a unanimous ote Quite an argument ensued about the as- sumption of false titles by members in varte- ous cities. In some of the minor bodles it seems thata great majority of the members of each branch league were what would in active service be commissioned officers. This sudden acquisition of high-sounding titles Was not to the taste of some, and was in con- Sequence very suddenly and emphatically sat down upon by the entire convention. The question of a place for the holding of the annual meeting next year brought out more or less debate and warm blood among those present. The New York. delegation Sentaletter from its president’ making a strong plea for New York on the ground that the distance to New York was too — for their delegation to come to St. uls. Members trom San Francisco and San Antonio were opposed to the reading of the New York letters and said s0 very plainly. A resolution was offered and adopted in- structing the Secretary to telegraph mes Sages of condolence to all members who were unable because of sickness to attepd the meeting. A motion was made to so amend the con- stitution as to permit societies more than 500 miles away from the place of meeting to appoint other societies as proxies. Tbe con- stitution at present provides that this can be done by societies at a distance of 1.000 miles or more. The motion to reduce the limit to 500 miles was lost. The business on hand kept the convention in session all morning and all afternoon, and to judge from the amount on hand would likely keep them in session until 8 o'clock this evening. The election of officers Was on the thy 4 for 1:30 o’clock, but was not reached by that hour. One of the most important matters taken up to-day was the resolution of the C — Society to the effect that the benefit insur- ance be made obligatory upon all members of the Kriegerbund. ls provoked very con- siderable discussion among the members, many of whom were opposed to paying the extra assessment for the insurance. The arguments continued until the noon recess. This evening will be given up to festivity and a ball will be given at Military Hall, when all the delegates and all the members of the local societies are expected to be present and join inthe dance. To-morrow the prizes won at Con- cordia Park will be awarded and then a car- riage ride will betaken overthe principal streets and places of interest in the city. MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. Temperature Below Normal— Average Sunshine—Weil- Distributed Rainfall. COLUMBIA, Mo., Aug. 2.— During the past week the temperature has averaged slightly below the normal, with fully the average amount of sunshine attending. The rainfall has been confined to local showers and thun- derstorms, and though generally light was fairly well distributed and of inestimable benefitin refreshing crops and stock and facilitating work generally. Rainfalls of one inch or more were reported from the following counties: Holt, Nod- away, Worth, Gentry, Andrew, Daviess, Grundy, — —e Caldwell, Clinton, Buchanan, Linn, Macon, Schuyler, Cole, M gomery, Barton, Scott, Scotland, Jasper Newton. Though late crops es- pecially ought to pront from the con f ions that have prevailed during the week, Many sections yet report drought conditions as prevailing and late corn and potatoes as plainly showing the detrimental effects. Another heavy general rain is needed at once to accelerate the growth and fMillingof late crops everywhere and to put the ground in condition for plowing and seeding. Light grain shipments continue, but prices rule low and much grain is being stored for better times and prices. Corn seems to be the farmers’ lasthope this year and the major portion of the State yet promises an excellent quantity and quality of his staple. A still further decline in the condition of apeies is evident from the latest full report. e outlook for an abundant grape crop is improving, since the protracted dry weather has tended to check the spread of rot and mildew. Grasshoppers are grow ing more numerous and destructive, especi- ally to ures and fruit, and fears are now entertained that they will do serious damage to wheat this fall. The acreage of wheat, sown this year promises to be decidedly smaller than for several years past. ILLINOIS CROPS.

I employed three doctors, but they gave her no relief. I read about Paine’s celery compound in a paper one day. I believed it would help her, so went down town and got a bottle of the com- pound, and hurried home and commenced giving it to her according to directions. „By the time she had taken half of the bottle she was able to sit up in bed, and by free from vain.

In fact there is an enormous de- mand for rents in St. Louis at present, which shows residents coming that are locating here.

Ooty Bridges Now in Course pt Construction Over the Mississippi end Missouri Rivers—The Great Ter- minal System Now Being Established in St. Louis. Krone, fo., Aug. 22.—An amendment to the articles of incorporation of the st. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern Rallroad Co. in- Creasing the capital stock from $8,000,000 to $20,000 000 was med to-day. The increase is to tor the vast terminal:and exten- sion of the Burlington route at and pear St, Louis. a The work on Which this money is to be ex- Pended is already in an advanced stage and — — dh toate completed by next Febru- It consists of the puliding of a double- connection between St. Louis Alton - and awe handsome massive bridge ne over Missouri! River at ebetontalne bluffs another over the Mississippi River at There is also the new freight depot and depot ana switch at 47 ane, n streets. ng 1 in and St. 444 by the C. Fallroad is the most extensive and costly ern by a rallroad to enter st. Louis, 18 one the importance which few citizens of St. wis realize. The burlington has u buying property in North St. Louis for years or more for right of way and terminal time has facilities, and durin that ex pended million or rs, which mponer. was put into circu- — in St. Louis. hey are expending S More in the construction of a yes line between Sst. Louis and Alton and the pullding of two bridges. The new road is furnishing employment to thousands of workmen from st. Louls, who 4 d otherwise be idle at present. Ihe O., Q. are paahing the work as fast as pos: 0 —— last winter wh the nd was frozen — every foot “of dirt they took out had to be lasted with dynamite they kept men at Work. The advance made upto the present me consists of the completion of the grade the width ofone track between Burlington which is art of the issell Farm and the Bellefontaine Blofts, ad the completion ofa double track road outh of this and into the depot at Second and Mu ts. ‘the engineers y coula work to more ad- by bullding a sing track which they coul work their steam shovels to grade for the other. The road as far as built isthe finest running out of St. Louis. It is ballasted with maca- dam broken at their own crusher. BUILT FOR HIGH SPEED. The road is being bullt so as to allow a speed of from sixty to eighty miles an hour with safety. From the depot at Second and ‘ullanphy the road runs along theriver until it sets as far north as the cemeteries. This does away with the VI slowing up for cross- ings. North of sit enters the hills and gets on to the highlanas by a grade of twenty-six feet tothe mile, All the roads — — the Burlington have either been bri or tunneled, so that nosiowing up will necessary. At Bellefontaine Bluffs Bridge over the Missouri, the plers are completed and the iron work is ut up. The south end dge will rest on the top of the Belle- fountain blof. The north approach is made by means of a trestie which will de led in as son asthe road is completed. The bridge at Alton has not reached such an advanced stage. The workmen are still atworkon the piers. The scenery between >t. Louis and Alton is decidedly picturesque. The improvements being made by the Bur- jington in the city, their yards and the depot at Second and Mullanphy streets, will be very costly, and — is not probable that ony of this 712,000, 000 iil used in the ullding of the proposed passencer depot at Nine- teenth street nd Washington avenue. In fact it is thought by those who are competent to judge that the passenger depot project of the Burling- ton will be postponed for two yearsat least, although the road has purchased ground along Nineteenth street for that purpose. . suburba n passenger Real Estate Transfers.

This has caused showers and thunderstorms as far south as Colorado and Kansas, and showers are iikely to occur in the next twenty-four hours throughout the Mississippi Val- ley north of Cairo. The Mark Lane Express savs: Five millions out of the estimated yield of 7,000,000 oars of British wheat have been garnered. The remaining 2. — 000 ars Which are yet tobe gathered in the north of England, Scotland and Ireland will be above the average in qhtality. The sunray weather that has prevailed for three weeks has inereased the milling value of English wheat almost everywhere. Thisis likely to produce a 1 demand for tnuglish wheat at the xpense of the im- grain. Millers will endeavor to uy up the bulk of the cropat from #66 to 29s per quarter. Butif the owners hold out for a mini- mum of 80s this last figure willaimost certainly be the average Oct value. The prices lately re- corded have been — cere low. Muchred wheat has been sold at from 28s to 31. American and In- dien wheats are again 6d lower, large American shipments forcing the decline.

The « exports during July were at the rate of 221,000,000 bu for the year. Advices from Nebraska are that along the water courses the corn prospects are excelient, but in many sections the drought that lately preveiied very seriously impaired the crop conditions and the ear is expected to be unusually small. This would shorten the yield materiaily. The eat crop is aver- aging about, 5 bu to the acre.

SSE Le 1 6 - * * wer wer Lm 74 Great Athletes Who Are to at Chicago. NEW YORK WILL BE REPRESENTED BY A AGGREGATION OF CHAMPIONS. Arrangements Feng Made by the Fas- time Club to Secure the Big Guns for the Local Games—A Revival of Steeple- chasing—Cycling Chat—General Sport- ing News. The biggest athletic meeting ever heid in this country will take place at Chicago next month and local athietes who can not attend to see the national championsbips won and lost willhavea chance to see the victors at the Pastime’s games which are scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 19, following immediately the Chicago tournaments, Arrangements are be- ing made to bring down the winners of the championship events and have them compete in the local games. This is an easier matter than would appear atfirst diush, as it is easier to pick the winner of an athletic championship than of a horse race. Secretary James EK. Sullivan of the Atlantic division of the A. A. U. says New York will carry off nine-tenths of the champlionships. There are twenty-five men inthe East traioing for the games, and they are certainly represen- tative men in their specialties. The ‘‘winged foot’’ contingent, as the New York Atbletic Club team will be called, will bave big Jim Mitchell in the weights, and Jim holds the world’s records for throwing the 56 pound weight, either distance or height, and the 16-pound hammer. His record for the latter is 145 feet % inch. George R. Gray willtry to improve on his world’s record of 46 feet 7% inches for putting the 16-pound shot. The club’s sprinters will be W. M. Richards of Yale, who can do 100 yards in 10 1-56. E. W. Allen is another Yalensian who has reached the 10 1-58. mark. T. J. Lee is still another sprinter at the same mark. But every one agrees that if Harry Jewett of Detroit competes the 100 and 220-yard dashes will be at his mercy. Jewett, however, has not trained an hour this year. Then there is Tommy Shearman, the great mile walker. Unless young Brokaw of Princeton agrees to compete the club will have no representative inthe quarter milerun. In the high and broad jump the club will be represented by A. P. Schwaner, who holds the world’s record for both events. Besides the New Yorks the New Jersey Athletic Club will send out a team of very formidable athletes. Fred Puffer ought to have the hurdles at his mercy. Then E. W. Gof,the ex-Manhattanite, holds the world’s record for the hop, step anadjump, He has come within half an inch of the world’s record for the broad jump, and he can dos feet „ inch in the running high jump. He is the present all- roun cham.- pion. Wilile Day, who is considered the “greatest long distance runner in the land, wii! represent the Jerseyites in the five-mile run. Heholdsevery American record from one and a half to four miies. Ihe Xavier Athletic Club will send out their phenomenal high jumper, Mike Sweeney, whoholds the world’s record at 6 feet 4% inches. Sweeney has a sore heel now, butifhe is in condiiion he has his event at his mercy. Last, but not least, little Tommy Conneff, the world renowned long distance runner, willcarry the colors of the Holy Cross Ly- ceum. Ihis is a terrific array of talent and though Harry Cornish of the Chicago Athletic Club says he has a great team of dark horses to spring on the Easterners it looks as though New York would carry off the lion’s share of the championsuips. Arrangements are now being made with the stars of the New York contingent to par- ticipate in the opening games at the Pastime grounds. It is certain that a team of at least ten Can be secured. When well handicappea the contests between them and the local athletes will prove very interesting. — GOSSIP FOR TURFITES. An Effort Should Be Nade to Popularizs Steeplechase Rac'ng. The steeplechase course at the Fair Grounds is without a doubt the most picturesque and serviceable on any race track in the West. The water jump and the hedge hurdles are unequaled in many respects, although Washington ark has a course not to be despised. The upper end of the infleld at the aristocratic Chicago track is swampy for some time after a heavy dovn pour, which makes it unsale to a certain extent for the jumpers. In this respect the Fair Grounds course, not being to this drawback, has a slight advant- age. Steeplechase racing, however, since the time Ed Corrigan’s great jumper Ten- nessee, retired trom the arena, has been per- mitted to die out. This cannot be accounted for on the grounds that tue general public donot care for the sport, as even the most prejudiced must admit than an ordinary steeplechase contest, inthe days gone by, aroused more enthusiasm than many a nose Onish on the flat in recent years. Of course the skeptical will say racing nowadays has degenerated into a business with nearly all the spectators, very few of whom tare much whether the winner won by a whisker ora mile, as long as they are enabled to cash a ticket after the race, but the regulars at Hawthorne, where a jumping race is carded every other day, make twice as much nolse over a race of this kind as they do over the ordinary events. Besidesthe jumping races at the Cicero Course take place over circus-looking hurdles, and in consequence lack the pic- turesque English showliness that is attacheg to a race over a steeplechase course like the one at the Fair Grounds. ' Under the circumstances if jumping races are popular at Hawthorne over hurdles why shouid they not be over a magnificent course like the local one. The Saratoga and Brighton Beach managements provide one almost dally at their tracks and the public evidently appreciate them Otherwise, the chances are, they would not be Kiven. Ihe, st. Louis and Washington Park Jockey (lub magnates make the claiin that jumpers are hard to secure. Now, this does not seem to bother any of the tracks where jumping races are provided regularly. True, the felds are not as large as the ones that go to the post for events run on the flat, but this is not nece-sary. A bunch of, say six, 18 plenty large enough fora jumping race. Any amount of steeplechase horses could soon be bad if the big tracks would only provide, say one event Cally, or every other day, dur. ing the meeting. resident Wells admits that steeplechasing is a most enjoyable sight, and he should go farther and see to it that during the coming fall meeting at the Fair Grounds an effort is made to popularize this entertaining and thrilling sport once more in this section. Ed Corrigan, the master of Hawthorne, seems to be the only track magnate in the West that has promoted and helped it along in recent ears. Corrigan is one of the most thorough orsemen in the West, and his examp ein this respect — be imitated with success by the rest of the Western track magnates. The action of the managers of the East Side and Hawthorne foreign books and the Covington pool rooms, if they have conclude to do so, in barring the alleged sure thing o Frank Shaw, seems to bea most ridiculous move. Just how the scheme is going to be carried out successfully isa mystery. Todo so it will necessitate the refusal of every big bet offered them, which will mean a big de- crease inthéir daily receipts. Even under this system shaw can place his money in small commissions. It is not necessary for him toannounce publicly that he is betting on a certain, and howin the world are the pool room magnates going to find out that he is if he chooses to keep the matter quiet? If the truth was known, Shaw has not got much the better of the pool rooms this season. The reason is lain, pool room keepers are not in the usiness to wive anyone the best of them- selves, especially a consistent customer like the St. Paulman. Poolrooms are about as hard to beat as Neld books, Judge Brooks says Capt. Bellair’s scheme of registering thorougubreds is not in it — bis own idea, that of branding the bang 8.

Mr. Walden has not been in the best of health of late and thinks the trip to England would do him good. The scheme remains necessarily more or less hazy till the weights are out, and the question of whether Littiefield woul! goacross to ride Mars has not yet been considered.

The Trio Are Now Playing in the Penn- sylvania State League. Ted Larkin, Washington’s big first base- man, and Joe Mulvey, who has been cover- ing third base for the same team, up to a short time ago, have both joined the Read- ingteam of the Pennsylvania State League. **Calliope’’ Miller, Pittsburg's crack catcher, has been playing with Harrisburg of the same league for some time, and he recently took partina game that will rank as ope of the best of the year and the greatest ever played in that league. Harrisburg defeated Easton after sixteen innings of play. Both teams were blanked until the fourth inning, when each scratched out a run. The next eleven innings resulted in an exchange of whitewash. In the sixteenth Costello made athree-bagger and was brought home by Brahan’s single. Brahan was sacrificed to second, and Austin scored him with a sin le. The Eastons were retired by a rattling ouble play and the crowd went crazy. Calliope in this game had fifteen. chances at second base and he accepted thirteen of the number, making the only errors charged to Harrisburg. OLD TIMERS ON THE RUN. Base ball is getting to bean awfully fast game, and the retirement of Stovey, Dan Brouthers, Kelly and others emphasizes the fact that only lively young players and those who can keep in condition are wanted by the dase ball magnates, Players after the Duffy- McCarthy-Long-Dowd.- Farrell - Cross style are the ball players for the future. In these days a man must be a 8 all-around player. He, above all things, must be a good, free hitter. MADE IT THRBE STRAIGHT. Three straight from Philadelphia seems al- most too good to be true, but little Willie Gleason’s Curves and timely hits by Brodie, Frank and Dowd accomplished the result — + stm The game was marked by heavy tt ing onthe part of the Browns and bril- liant work on the part of their outflelders. The Phillies found Gleason puzzling while their twirler, Carsey, was guilty of costly battery errors. The score: St. Louis9, Phi adelpnia 8. Base hits—St. Louls 14, Phila- delphia 9.

Installation of the Eighth and Last Party in the Children’s Camp. The eighth and last party of patients was installed in the tents and farm-house of the children’s summer camp yesterday after- noon. The trip to Elsah on the harbor boat was made without incident in spite of the plliot’s fears of low water above the mouth of the Missouri. The arrival at Elsah was only a few minutes later than the time formerly made. The patients were disembarted under the superintendence of Dr. F. A. Temm and Dr. A. G. Enderle, who had accompanied them on the boat. Dr. T. J. Russell, the camp physician, had those of his patients who were recovered ready forthe return trip. As soon as the new party was disembarked the others were taken on board and the boat started on its return, arriving at the St. Louis wharf at 5 o’clock,. Dr. Russell and Dr. J. T. Soraghan took the new patients to the camp, where they will grow well ana strong. The children and mothers left the boat with reluctance. They were sorry to seper- ate themselves from the last link to the camp in which they had spent so many pleasant days. : Next Monday the party now at the camp will be returned tothe city, and Tree View Farm will they be deserted for the season. With the end of the torrid season its work ends. The term for which the lease and ar- rangements were made will be past. Notwithstanding the approaching close of the season, the interest in the camp is un- diminisned. A dollar came from Grafton, III., yesterday to show how much a friend thinks of the children. 7 Dr. A. B. Shaw of St, Louis inspected the campat Tree View Farm on Sunday, and afterward insisted on paying $1 for a drink of water. This sum was added to the fund.
