Sher-| wood at the Jockey Olub. HE LIVED BUT TWO: HOURS. While Visiting With C. C. Maffitt He Tumbled Over the Banisters to the Lower Floor. A frightful accident, resulting in the death of Alex C. Sherwood,“ member of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, happened at the Fair Grounds Jockey Club at 10:45 o'clock Sunday night. While coming dewn the central stairway he lost his balance and plunged over the low banister from the ‘third’ story ‘to the hard maple floor 30 feet below. He was unconscious when picked up and died two hours later at St. John’s Hospital. How the accident occurred will never be definitely known. Mr. C. C. Maffitt, Chair- man of the State Central Committee and President of the Jockey Club, was with him at the time. They had started down- stairs intending to drive to the Southern Hotel, where Mr. Sherwood was stopping. Mr. Maffitt was slightly in the lead and had reached the second landing when he heard his companion scream, and, turning around, saw him 3 Sage mang through the narrow opening to the first floor. It all occurred so quickly that Mr. Mat- fitt did not realize what had happened un- til it Was over, “When Alex screamed,“ said Mr. Maf- fitt to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “I turned around and instinctively started back up the stairway. I. saw him grab frantically at the railing two or three times, but he had toppled over and it was beyond his reach. 7 think I only took one or two steps when I realized that he was beyond my assistance. His body shot downward like an arrow and in a twinkling struck the hard floor with a sickening noise I shall never forget. “He struck on his back and rolled over r on his side. I heard him groan as was runni down, the stairs to where he lay. Some of the rvants reached him at the same time I did, but he was uncon- scious and for a time I thought he was dead. Dr. Brokaw was at once telephoned for and f partners, | wenty mi ay s left arm was bedly fractured places and his right shoulder was crushed. He had also received internal in- juries which the physicians knew must nec- ly prove fatal. “They telephcned for an ambulance from St. John's ospital and at midnight the dying man was taken from the club-house.

Tom Connor of Joplin, ex-Treasurer of the Democratic State Committee, who had known Mr. Sherwood intimately for a number of years, reached the city Monday morning and was very much shocked at the news of his friend's sudden death. “IT am not as much surprised, however, as I would have been had I not known Mr. Sherwood’s allment.“ said Col. Conner. He had been a sufferer from a dangerous form of heart disease for a long while, and Mr. Seibert told me this morning that Sher- wood had been subject to fainting spells during the past few months.

The death of Hon. A. C. Sherwood creates a vacancy in the Democratic State Com- ‘mittee, the filling of which will probably to 11 number of political complications. The sent ment of the Democracy of the Thirteenth District, which he represented, is so overwhelmingly for free silver that there is no room left for doubt as to the currency views which his successor must hold if the will of the party is to govern the selection. But the fact that the State Committee, as constituted before the hold- ing of the Pertle Springs Convention, was largely dominated by the gold bugs and that the further fact that this committee may contend for the right to fill the vacancy independent of the wishes of the nineteen new committeemen, suggest the possibility of a lively row, particularly if the old and inadequate organization should show a stubborn disposition to select a man whose coinage Opinions are not in accord with the Pertle Springs deliverance on the currency question and at variance with the domi- nant sentiment of the Thirteenth District Democracy. Then, too, the prospects for a lively row—or, at any rate, as much of a row as the minority faction of the party can create—are enhanced by what now seems almost a surety of an early call for a meet- ing of the State Committee. The new committeemen have not yet been officially taken into the fold of the party organization, and even though à regular State Convention provided for them and de- fined their power they have not received the recognition which invests them with au- thority. Nor can they until the State Com- mittee meets and takes them into its coun- sels.

Each official was for the space of twelve hours absent from his post. This is said to have never happened before in a French Republic. What a day for the coup d’etat was the Sist of July. What a moment for the dictator to put in an appearance—that oung Prince acrogs the channel, supposed to be always in full armor_and ever in the saddle. But the young Prince failed to gallop into France. The people did not now there was no Government. Every- thing went on as usual. The evening train returned a Minister or two and the perilous moment passed. Only the monarchist papers made a point of discussing the matter, thus improving an opportunity to criticise the Government. A new French poet, 18 years old, has made his appearance. His sponsor is no less a person than Jean yoy rece who writes a charming preface to the little volume which makes its debut under the title Chansons Cruelles et Douces. Whether the cruel or sweet doth most prevail in the verses of Andre Barde, whose family name seems to have been arranged expressly beforehand, remains to be seen, for the book is now about to appear. But the ‘‘precocious pes- simism”’ attributed to the boy, who seems to have become disgusted with life in ad- vance, suggests the type sure to find favor aris public. The Parisian police have of late given IN proof of extraordinary activity. Some weeks ago it undertook to cleanse the Bois de Boulogne, the boulevards from the gan that infested them.

Buel does not think it advisa to call a apg Hl before September. But as delay might dangerous, he has on his own re- sponsibility engaged Lee & McKeegan and Frederick H. Bacon to ings at once. This will probably consist of an ap- plication for an injunction restraining the company from levying and collecting the October assessments. While a reporter was in Gen. Buel’s office this morning Miss Case of 316 Locust street entered in response to Gen. Buel’s advertise- mentG. Her dmother, Mre. Mary — r ety now years old, has had a 510. 000 policy for fifteen years. Her experience affords an illustration of how hundreds of others have suffered. In 1881 she paid a premium of $35 every two months; then it was raised to $52; afterward to $67.70; and on Aug. 1 she got not of an increase to $141, a total increase of per cent over the orig- inal premium. Miss Case said: “It is just fearful. We have been paying until we have paid out and and of course we between $3, don’t Uke to let it all go, but we can't stand this. I have done without things I wanted and we have saved and se d every way to keep up the payments. he last time there was @ raise I went to see W. C. Jones, attorney of the co y.

Buel desires to impress on policy holders the necessity of paying the August assessment at whatever sacrifice. The reas- on is that if a receiver should be appoint- ed and a distribution of the assets ordered those who had allowed their policies to lapse would forfeit their right.

It is beautiful in theory but it won't work out as some of the benevolent societies have out. The younger men from drop out, and it is the older men who hang on, men who have been pay- ing along for years and have not the same expectation of life as younger men. us the death rate is increased. When the ac- cess of new members reaches high water mark then the trouble begins. The death rate is raised, and the shortage must be made good by increased assessments. It must always be so on the assessment plan. Now, I will how you the evolution of this company from its original lan. Here ts policy No. 3639, issued May 1. 1982. It pro- vides that when there is not enough money in the death fund to pay losses, assessments shall be made ‘according to the age of each member as per table indorsed hereon.’ The table is made a part of the contract, and the company has legal right to increase the as- sessments. Here is policy No. 7,596, issued Dec. 27, 1882, in which it is provided that assess- ments shall be made ‘for such a sum as the Executive Committeee may deem sufficient to cover said claims, the same to ap- portioned according to the age of each member.“ This was a partial evolution. The complete evolution is shown by this policy, No. 42,170, issued Dec. 31, 1885, in | which it is provided that ‘assessments shall | be made at such rates, according to the | age of each member, as may be established by said Board of Directors.’ This gives the Board of Directors the power absolutely to fix the rate of such assessment, and the as- sured is left entirely at their mercy. “Originally Mr. Harper figured out a mortality table per $1,000 of insurance under which at 21 years the assured was required to pay only $1 and the increase for age was disproportionately small, advance only 2 cents for each year, so that at years the rate was Only $1.10; at 88 years, $1.24; at 40 years, $1.44; 50 years, $1.84; 55 years, 2.10; 60 years, $3. The rate table issued ANG. 1, 1895, shows the enormous difference it was found necessary to make, as follows: Old New Per Cent Rate. Rate. of Increase $1.80 __Ase. : 45 55 g 1 ö 6.78 Tou will see the enormous increase in those over 50 years old. If the premium is advanced according to age the burden will be so great as to force a number of the old policy holders out. This would be to the advantage of the company, but an injustice to the policy holders. And the trouble is that further increases may expected every five years. These quintennial bonds will cause more trouble. When they be- come due and are receivable in lieu of cash for the yment of premiums, the death fund will be correspondingly dimin- ished, another increase of assessments must follow; it is Inevitable. “So long as new members continued to come in the company flourished wonder- fully. It did an immense business. These policies show that. This policy in May of 1882 was No. . This issued in De- cember of that year is No. 7596, while this 2 SSELRRS MISSING MISS CLARK.

The failure of the Franklin County jury to agree upon a verdict in the Duestrow case was not entirely unexpected. Those who have followed the evidence closely as it appeared from day to day in the newspapers were prepared o helieve that an average jury would be so thoroughly mystified and confused by the medical experts, and so movéd by the eloquent appeals of the distinguished, attorneys for the defense, as to be unable to form a very definite opinion concerning Dues- trow’s responsibility. The horrible butchery of his wife and child by this millionaire slayer is some- thing inconceivable to a jury of men leading peaceful, sober lives in the coun- try. If they had been told only that Duestrow was “crazy drunk“ at the time of the commission of the crime, and that to this fact was due the partial failure of the State to show motive and deliberation sufficient to constitute murder in the first degree, they could have understood that and perhaps come to an agreemen*. But when the able attorneys for the defense surrounded the case with an overwhélming mass of expert testimony on inganity, the failure of the jury to find a verdict was to be expected. The people of St. Louls City have their own notions about Duestrow and his crime and they have not been slow to express them. They are disappointed over the result of the long trial at Union, not alone because enormous costs are being piled up against the State—need- lessly as it seems to them—but because the administration of law and justice is being retarded in a way that is harmful to public order. The prosecution has done its best, but the defense has won a temporary victory. — m —ů— tte AS TO KENTUCKY. The increasing probability that Brad- ley, the Republican candidate for Gov- ernor, will be elected in Kentucky has driven the Courier-Journal to get up a “scare” upon which it can fall back as an explanation when the result is an- nounced. It declares that the free silver Democrats and the Republicans have en- tered into an agreement, whereby the Republicans are aiding Blackburn to se- cure re-election to the Senate, in return for the support of Bradley by free silver Democrats. Of course this is nonsense. The Re- publicans of Kenjucky are in no mood at present for bartering chances. They feel that they have the best opportunity for winning a victory all along the line that they have had in thirty years, and they will get the Senatorship as well as the Governorship if they can. And Senator Blackburn is of all Kentucky Democrats the least likely to enter into any sor of relations with Republicans. He will win his fight as an avowed and aggressive free silver Democrat or he will not win at all. The truth is the Administration faction in Kentucky have proved themselves the efficient allies of the Republicans. They have done their best to give the Repub- licans an easy victory, and the gallant fight for old-time Demécratic principles made by Blackburn is the only thing that will save the State. To paraphrase Disraeli, the sound money“ Democrats found the Republicans in bathing and Stole their clothes. In trying to put them on Democrats they have discovered @ clear case of misfit, and what they are now trying to do is to concoct an excuse for a defeat which if it comes will have been brought about by them and for which they want to escape the responsi- bility. If the Kentucky Republicans had any choice/ in the matter, they would far sooner defeat Blackburn, who is making a fight for Democratic principles, than Hardin, who is hampered by being placed on & Republican | platform. ; CHEAPENING THE CIGARETTE.

Since July 81 the gold reserve in the United States Tredsury has steadily di- minished. On that date the gold reserve was $107,208,879.81, It is now $101,933,715.27. The following table shows the decrease each day: ‘use. The cigarette Is one of those things ; 2. GPP „% ˖ͤ eee eee eee renee ee 107,118,235 96 Brodit. Ses 107.002.784 % the country, its opinion# are quite the 103,037,715 27 101,933,715 27 It is not difficult to find the meaning of this. The contract of the bond symdi- cate expires in less than a month and a half. Until Oct. 1 the syndicate must maintain the reserve at the $100,000,000 point and it will probably do so. Every day it will probably replace enough gold—possibly with the same gold that has been drawn out—to keep the reserve just above the limit. But the difficulty of maintaining the reserve will be emphasized. The country will be kept im constant fear of another collapse of the fund. Wall street is al- ready beginning to throw out ominous hints of danger. When the contract ex- pires the reserve will probably dwindle rapidly and there will be a how! from the “financiers’’ about the impairment of credit and the danger of a panic. It would not do to have the reserve untouched until the contract expires and then raided. That would look like a put- up job. It is better to have introductory withdrawals and an apparent struggle of the syndicate with a demand for, gold for export. It will make a better im- pression on the public; but the end—the forcing of another bond issue—will be the same. The opportunity to divide another rich plum is too tempting for the financiers. A SMOKING DIBGRACE. 108,031,161 59 | } gerous as any other, and may be as peri- who visit the southeast vart of Forest Park are compelled to see all of and breathe part of an immense and pvison- ous cloud of smoke which arises from that straggling mile of tile kilns, zinc smelters and brick yards south of the park, and known as Howard's and Chel- tenham. A great many complaints have been made and are likely to be made about the absolute freedom which the proprieters of these various works ap- pear to have of polluting the atmosphere, although their location is well within the city limits and close to our finest park. Yesterday, as usual, an immense vol- ume of smoke poured ,citywards, as far as one could see, from this spot, veiling a large section of the sky. So extended was the blackness that at sunset no one standing anywhere between the Bates statue and the entrance to Shaws Ger- den could see anything of the sunset, which was an unugually fine one. At the annual meeting of the Citizens’ Smoke Abatement Association if April last; the Executive Committee of the As- sociation reperted that it was necessary that hter lines be drawn by the city authorities in the enforcement of the abatement law. It is high time this sug- gestion was carried into effect. But even without this, it could hardly be maintained that these kilns and other works south of Forest Park pretend to — the law as it stands, allowing offen- sive smoke for thirty minutes in a 100 minute test. These works are well within the city limits, and no exception can be made in their favor. What is being done to com- pel them to obey the law? m n, The sudden death of Mr. Alex C. Sher- wood of the State Democratic Committee will shock and grieve his many friends beyond description. He was a singularly companionable and good-natured man; always at the service of those who needed help; absolutely without envy or mallee; devoted to the interests of thé State and Southeast Missouri and firm in his con- victions of right. Mr. Sherwood was twice elected a member of the State Com- mittee and was a clerk in the State Audit- or’s office. His place in public and pri- vate life will be hard to fill. . — —o— — __—— Speaking of “a certain class of men who call themselves Democrats but have no sympathy with Democratic princi- ples,” Secretary of State Hinrichsen says truly, They would sooner turn the coun- try over to the Republicans for all time to come, than to have a real Democratic administration.” This hits the nail on the head exactly.

After some years he formed the partnership of Humphrey, Tutt & Terry, wholesale grocers. In 1864 he sold out and went to New York. He then en- tered the banking business in Montana, but returned to St. Louis about 18%. After experience in the Haskell, Lucas and Third National banks he became President of the later institution. In 1889 he was appointed one of the Wabash receivers. Mr. Tutt has now retired frem active business and is devoting himself to the pleasure of travel. MEN OF MARE.

It has de- clared the position ot the party in this State, and that committee, now, as we have said, has but one of two courses honorably re- ’ maining to them, and that is to carry out the expressed will of that body, or as gentlemen, who despise fraud and trickery, resign their places to agents, who, in truth and spirit, accord with the will of the convention. It is idle to talk about the want of jurisdiction on the part of the convention to form a committee. If they had power to declare and fix the position of the party in the State; the power to devise and establish the ways and means to obtain the success of those principles, necessarily follows. Besides it was a legally established body, and as such it was invested With all powers that belong to such bodies. Its jvrisdiction was as ex- tensive Bs any preceding body of the party of the State. No one had the right to ques- tion and quibble over its jurisdiction. It was the supreme will of the Democrats in convention assembled. It is the final court of authority of the Democrats of Missouri, and as such every good Democrat will re- gard it, Insufferable Rot. From the Keytesville Signal. What insufferable rot Democrats and Democratic journals are talking when they they express the fear that the State com- mittee has been reorganized in the inter- est of Gov. Stone. The committee, as in- creased, is composed of only thirty-four voting Democrats out of 268,398. But some very intelligent Democrats seem to regard the power of the committee as something nothing short of omnipotent—that as the individual preferences of the majority of the members for some one man may ko 80 must the party go. Fear nothing of the kind, good friends. It would be impossible to select thiry-four mien, or even fifteen for that matter, without individual prefer- ences between the candidates. Suppose the reorganization of the committee had shift- ed the preference in the committee, as between men, from Francis to Stone, is that not a great deal better than when Francis and the gold bugs ran the ma- chine? But that fact will not control the people against their will. They have just shown their power. And they will do the same thing again when the occasion arises. No one can manage the Democratic hosts against their will. Settled in Missouri. From the Stoddard County Democrat. The money question has been settled in Missouri—for the present at least. There is no longer a doubt as to the position the Democrats hold on the free silver question. They have spoken their sentiment and by a large majority too. They have given the question due consideration, and it is all folly to assert that the leaders of this movement are simply after office. They can readily understand that to ke money and to keep it from being cornered and pro- ducing a panic it is necessary that there be more primary or redeeming money. These leaders readily see and understand that the way the money system is managed at pres- ent that it is strictly in the interest of the classes against the masses. It was brought about by the classes and must now be put down by the masses, It is unjust to allow the moneyed men of the country to impose upon the tolling masses. A Pitiful Subterfuge. From the Rich Hill Enterprise. — — the St. Louis Republic and Kansas City Star, with smaller satellites, have been so hard pressed for ammunition that they have had to resort to the most pitiful, beggarly excuses of attack on the leading citigens of the State. The Republic, gen- erally conservative, is sore, “sick nigh unto death,“ because Mr. Francis could not carry gut his contract with Cleveland to smother the Missouri Democracy. The Star, in her false prophecy, who sang itself hoarse in the “Wannah” concert, has joined the Re- waiting for her train. A local paper says that while talking to the Chief “she leaned ; up against the wall of the depot and crossed her legs in true masculine style. She car- rie@ a pearl-handled revolver in her belt, and seemed ready to protect herself should any attempt be made on her life.” — WITTY WAIFS. “Speaking of racing, what gait does « man strike when he is going to the dentist to have a tooth pulled?” Tooth-hurty.“ Shoe and Leather Reporter.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 19.—Last night's storm was the * — terrific and destructive that has visited this city in many years. It came without warning and ata time when the parks were filled with peoph and the rivers with boats crowded with sionists. As far as known at this time two lives were lost, a score of persons were injured, two, it te thought, fatally, and property damaged to the extent of $100, 000. rhe oft NDBAUGH, cook on the stea- eefer, drowned, mer ENOWN WOMAN, blown from the point bridge. Those pro ly fatally injured are: PAT 8 foreman of the West End Electric Railway power- house. JOHN ADAMS, conductor Second Avenue Traction Line. At least twenty others were injured, some se hit by flying debris, but their names have not been obtained. The storm struck the city about 10 o'clock and was over in about half an hour, but in riet time death and widespread de- ion was left in its track. The rain 22 in torrents and was accompanied d lightning and terrific wind. ouses were unroofed, trees uprooted and fences and outhouses demolished. So tremendous Was the force of the to nado that the Lud Keefer, Litwe Bill and Ar- were overturned and many barges, te and small craft torn from their moorin and sent adrift.

She was caught in a whirlwind ong lown into the river and drowned. he day had been extremely hot and thousands of people were at Schenley Park. When the storm came on there was a rush for shelter. The wind had pros- trated the electric light wires and several women were seriously shocked by coming in contact with them. On Second avenue a feed wire was broken, and in attempting to repair it Conductor Adams was fatally shocked. He is still living, but has never recovered consciousness. On the South Side the large grain ele- vator of Henderson & Johnson, in course of construction, was completely demol- ished. The heavy iron girders fell on a row of tenements and crushed them, but fortunately the occupants were away from ome. Two freight cars on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie road were lifted from the tracks and blown into the Monongahela River. Por- tions of the Monongahela and Castle Shan- non inclines were carried away by the wind and demolished. On the north side of the eg heny great damage was done to small buildin and many trees were uprooted in the parks, but as far as reported no per- sons were seriously injured. In Arch street in this city a new brick brick building was blown over, crushing a double frame dwelling adjoining occupied Mrs. Daly, with.one child three children. debris. The same fate caught Mrs. Daly and her child. An alarm was sent in from box 166, but before the flremen arrived a number of men had dug the people out, and found them all unhurt.

When the storm came up everybody rushed to the fences to hold on and keep from being blown over. The wind tore up the fences and blew men, women and chil- dren to and fro. Wverybody got soaking wet, and many were slightly injured. Great damage was also done to the houses scattered along the road, while giant trees were twisted and hurled across the road. Many barns were completely de- stroyed. The storm prostrated all the local tele- ph and telephone wires, but the hrough wires were only interrupted for a short time. The rainfall was 45 inches, and the wind had a velocity of fifty miles an hour. Cut Him With an Ax. Special to The Post-Dispatch.

Garment Out- ters Will Fight in Chicago. Within twenty-four hours, says local Masterworkman Louis B. Seegers of the Garment Worksrs’ Union, one of the biggest labor unien wars ever declared in America will begin in Chicago. Mr. Seegers will not unfold the why or wherefore of the fight because he says the whole matter is to be kept secret until hostilities are opened. However, it is known that the Knights of Labor are going to fight thé clothing trades’ branch of the American Federation of Labor and bitterly too. The trouble which may cause the split up between the two great branches of or- ganized labor began months ago when a con- vention of the Garment Cutters was held in Chicago. The Chicago garment cutters belonging to the American Federation did not want the Knights of Labor garment cutters to work in the Windy City. Heated arguments were held during every session of the convention and the mater was finally tbrought to a climax by the Federation garment cutters getting a crowd of about 200, filling them with beer and turning them loose in the hall where the convention was in session. The result was that every chair in the hall was smashed and every other Kniht of Labor got a sore head. Since then the Knights of Labor have been planning to force theli men into the Chicago shop. Mat- ters have reached a point where pen war will result. Mr. Seegers is Master Workman of Na- tional Trades Assembly 231 of the Knights of Labor and of the Garment Workers’ As- sociation of North America. When asked if the Knights of Labor did not intend mak- ng a fight against the federation he made no denial. He refused to discuss the matter, because he says it is to be kept secret until open war is declared. Mr. Seegers was also asked if the Gar- ment Workers’ strike in New York would affect St. Louis. No,“ he replied, ‘“‘we are on the best of terms with our employes here, and as they are complying with the demands made when we struck last spring. there is no complaint.” CONFERRING THE PALLIUM. Cardinal Gibbons Will Confer It on Archbishop Kain in September. The lawn party to be given by the Cathe- dral Parish in Reservoir Park, Grand and Lafayette avenues, Wednesday night is in- tended to raise funds for the decoration of the old church on Walnut street. Some time in the fall Archbishop Kain is to be invested with the pallium, the distinctive insignia of archiepiscopal rank. Cardinal Gibbons will arrive in New York from Europe next Monday, and he will bring hbishop Kain’s pallium with him. He will come to St. Lo in September to attend the ceremonies in honor of the t- tieth anniversary of St. Vincent’s Church. It is likely that he will oo | Archbishop Kain's paldum with him, and the invesi- ment will take place shortly after the dedi- cation céremonies. The exterior of the Cathedral is to be painted for the occasion. — Kain is expected home this wee OHIO DEMOCR:TS Fight Ahead Between Brice and the Silver Men at Springfield.

SILVER IN CALIFORNIA. Non-Partisan Convention Held by Bi- metallists in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 18.—At noon to-day the non-partisan Silver Con- League, met in Metropolitan Hall. on the silver question. The advocates of the white metal have gathered here before to hear A. J. Warner, the President of the League, and ex-Congressman Sibley discuss the question. These gentlemen, however merely cleared the way for an expression o popular sentiment by the holding of a con- vention which commences to-day. The convention will continue in sesison three days. . Letters and telegrams of regret over ina- bility to be present were received from Gen. A. J. Warner, Mr. Harvey, author. of Ooin’s Financial School,“ Senator Jones of Nevada, Senator Blackburn, Senator Peffer, Senator Stewart and others. Senator Perkins has written a long letter to the committee explaining his views in detail on the silver question.

What Editor Carmack Thinks of the IIlinoisan's Oandidacy. * MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 19.—Editor E. W. Carmack, one of the delegates from Ten- nessee to the recent Democratic silver con- ference at Washington, has returned. In an interview to-day he said: “The talk of Hon. Wm. R. Morrison for the presidency by certani zealous silver men must be taken as tentative. Col. Morrison has a record of unbroken loyalty to the cause of silver remonetization, but so had Mr. Carlisle, Hon. Hocus P. Smith and number of other statesmen who suddenly began to ‘think about the question’ one night and rose up converted to gold mono- metallism next morning. You t depend on records as you once could, a no more ean you pin your faith to men’s loyalty to party platforms, Col. Morrison can get the votes of free silver Democrats only on the condition that he climbs upon the housetops and makes a few unequivocal well un- derstood re o the American le.

Quite a delegation of St. Louisans, including many prominent members of the Gentlemen's Driving Club, expect to go to Chicago to see the race. Track Talk.

Hawley, the prize pitcher of the Pirates, delights in helping to defeat the Chicago team. He will turn handsprings and cavort about like a school boy whenever it is rubbed into that old Swede Anson.“ The sea- son before he was signed by St. Louis he went to Hot Springs, paying his expenses, for Anson to give him a look over and trial. The man who now puts them over with so much force and control was tried before some of the colts, and Hawley was very wild. Thornton was Rusie com- pared to him. Of course nk was ad- vised to get into civilian’s togs and desert the diamond for the hay mow. At that time Hawley really did not look as if he ever could stand in hot company.

THE PACE-MAKING TEST. Enough Was Seen to Prove the New Method a Success. : A trial of the proposed new method of pace-making to be used at the Diamond tournament Saturday took place at the Pastime track Sunday — and as far as it went was satisfactory. he pacemak- ers were not well seasoned in the work, and one of the riders fell at the start, thereby delaying the others, but the new method was pronounced a success. The tandem was placed on the top of the bank of the first turn and started when the word was given the men on the tape. It was the intention to allow the riders to catch the tandem at the head of the back atretch,but the r rode a trifie too fast and the spill delayed the riders, there- by the ag ye but enough was geen td prove that it is the proper method and that it will make the race interesting from start to finish. — —— HE I8 SORRY.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Press Pub. Co.) LONDON, Aug. 19.~—The Post-Dispatch correspondent talked with several leading experts at the Baltic Exchange, the head- quarters of the British corn trade, Saturday on the prospects of the British corn crop and the amount of American corn likely to be re- quired. Some prominent brokers declared that the River Plate holds the key to the situation, and reports from there promised a very large me oy crop of both maize and wheat. e Danube district also reports an im- mense crop, as against an abnormally small one last season, and the view generally ex- pressed was that, howeyer low American prices may be, the D be will undersell them. The British crop is expected to generaily below the average, but brokers could not hazard an opinion on the probable amount of American corn that will be re- quired. Last year the exporta.of American corn were only 3.507, 785 bushel But the best informed opinion, so far as it has taken shape at all here, points to exces- sively low prices next season, ough it is admitted that the Americans may succeed in putting up prices if conditions be favor- able by the same means as those adopted last spring.
