Little Bock, Ark., Aug. 9.—Particu
lars of a terrible case of mob violence were
received here this evening. Two years
since Henry and Sylvester Polk and James
Kirkendall waylaid aud murdered a peddler
named AVard in Howard county. They
divided his money and cremated his re
mains. Sylvester Polk became conscien ce
stricken and confessed. Several trials fol
lowed, the last resulting in a conviction,
Sylvester Polly being sentenced to hang and
Henry Polk to a term of twenty-one years
in the state prison. Kirkendall died before
the sentence could be pronounced. Recently
the supreme court granted the Polks a new
trial. Friday night a mob suddenly
appeared before the jail at lfar
freesboro, where the Polks were conlined.
The men battered down the doors and en
tered, but could not yet into the iron cage
in which the Polks were kept. They be
gan lirinjr into the cell—the miserable pris
oners ran too and fro begging for mercy.
A bullet soon struck down Sylvester. Henry
partially concealed himself in a reservoir.
The mob got a lot of blankets, saturated
them in coal oil and set them on tire. They
then rode away thinking their victims dead.
The horrible cries of the burniug matt drew
a crowd and he was rescued, lie was so
badly burned that he will die. Sylvester
Polk is still alive, but his wound is thought
to be mortal. The'jail was kept from burn
ing by the heroic efforts of the citizens.

Special to the Globe.
New York, Aug. 9.— fight against
the gamblers at Long Branch has gone as
far as a raid on the Ocean club, a big es
tablishment standing in the grounds of the
Ocean hotel. This house is sec
ond only to the Pennsylvania club
in gorgeousuess and exceeds it in
size. It is one of the handsomest structures
along the shore, being ornate in architecture
ami situated in the midst of flowers and
foliage. The interior is finished in natural
woods.
There are numerous private game rooms,
a public restaurant and a hall of large pro
portions and beautiful finish, wherein
four faro tables, four roulct tables
and two red and black tables are in nightly
use. Charley Ransom is the manager, but
he is understood to have the partnership
and backing of several capitalists. The
play is heavy, and the chips represented
over -Sit),ooo at the time your correspondent
made an inventory. Thirty-six men
are required to run this single de
partment and the crowd of victims
sometimes numbers 3,000. The police of
Long Branch are a comically rural body,
and they, with the justices of the peace,
are very deferential to the gambling inter
est, but the trustees, a majority of whom
are rich summer residents, have resolved to
EXTERMINATE TUB uauk:.::i:s.
and under their pressure a raid has been
made on the Ocean club. Five employes
were arrested and the justice fined them
£100 each, which Ransom paid promptly
and they returned to duty in the club. But
the sentiment of the cottagers has been
aroused by undesirable notoriety which the
branch has got as the world's
greatest gambling resort and the
gamblers are frightened. Their plunder
has been unprecedented thus far
this season owing to the expulsion of gam
blers from New York city and the unusual
attendance at the Monmouth races, which
are extended through the whole summer.
Looses of 000 and 10,000, and, in the
case of one Wall street man, as high as
$14,000 in one night, show the enormous
winnings of the rascals.
A feature of evil lately developed is a
roulet game for women. A room in the
Pennsylvania club has been set apart for
this purpose. The enticement of a good
supper precedes the play, and unlike the
gaming for men the entrance l
somewhat restricted. a league for
the extermination of gamblers has
been formed and among the participants in
the movement are George IT. Porter,
George William Child*. Jesse and James
SeUgman, fTisimnnj Depew and John
Harper. It is hoped that the weight of
this onslaught will be sufficient to break
down the official support of the rich gam
blers.

Washington. Aug. 9.— capital is
| a much more comfortable residence than a
i fort on the frontier, and of course army of-
I ficers get themselves detailed lor special
duty here whenever they can, and stick to
I Washington US long US they can. It they
! cannot get to Washington they arc willing
to tike an assignment to special duty in
some other large city, where they can have
the advantage of civilization. Some officers
liave been successful in keeping on this
kind of duty, and away from their com
panies or regiments, for a long term of
years. The truth is that every few years,
generally after a new secretary comes Into
the war department the fellows who have
not got soft snaps make such a howl for re
form that a rood portion of the detachod
service men are returned to their commands
and another lot of the unfortunates from
the frontier get the plums. The result is
that the number of'officers who have held
on to Washington or equally desirable de
tails for a dozen years or so is extremely
small. The order just made by Secretary
Endicott is aimed at the fat fellows who
have been at the trough a great deal longer
than their fair share of time, and to let in
a lot of thin and
HUNGRY OXES.
But it isn't going to oust ■ great many
men, for the number of officers who have
been serving away from their commands
over four yean is not formidable, the gen
eral belief to the contrary notwithstanding.
a year ago 1;--; winter Senator Logan made
a hot attack on the army officers who get
themselves detatrhed from their commands
and assigned to duty here, and then used
their personal, political and social intluencc
to avoid being sent elsewhere, and he of
fered a resolution which the senate adopted,
calling on the secretary of war for the
names of all ameers on detached service,
with tbeirraak and the service they were
on and reasons for it, and the length of
time that they bad been absent from their
commands. This resolution was expected
to develop the fact that Washington was
full of army officers who hadn't seen their
commands since the war closed, but it did
not The only conspicuous oases of what
might be called favoritism which it disclosed
were the eases of i Ids to generals but here
the favoritism was extended to the general
and not to the aid. It has always been
customary to allow to general officers the
privilege of selecting their own
PERSONAL. AIDS
and keeping the same over. Col. Augur had
been Gen. Augur's aid for twelve years;
Lieut Scholielii had been Gen. Schofield's
aid for live years: Cols. Tourtelotte and
Bacon had been Gen. Sherman's aids for
thirteen years. HeKee Dunn had been
Pope's aid for sixteen years; ("apt .Wherry
had been Schofield*s aid for the same
IMjriod; Lieut Sladcn had been Gen. How
ard's aid for seventeen yean, and Capts.
Wharton and Ward had been Gen. Han
cock's aids for fourteen and twelve years
respectively, Secretary Endicott had de
cided to insist on rotation in office, even in
the case of aids who have intimate, per
sonal and confidential relations with the
generals on whose stalls they serve. .In re
gard to other than staff officers whiit the re
port referred to showed was that only two
officers had been on light house duty for
more than four years, and one of these
was Col. Babcock, since drowned. The
secretary of the Mississippi river commis
sion has held that place a little over four
years. Of fourteen acting signal officers
Jive had served four years or more. In re
gard to this class of details it ought to be
said that Senator boon's project for
limiting service in the signal earns
to three years would keep the service in the
hands of inexperienced men all the time.
The report, to resume, showed that Col.
Scott was the only officer in the war record
office who had been there four yean. Of
the twentv-ninc professors of military sci
ence assigned to colleges not one had
BUVED tiii:i;i; YEARS,
and most of them had not served two years
on that detail. Of forty-seven officers on
recruiting service all bad-served less than
two years, and most of them less than one
year. At the military prison only the gov
ernor had served over four years. Of the
officers on Inspection duty, the one who had
served longest had only served three years
and one month. Not one of tho acting
judge advocates had served as much as
three years. The only officer who had
served an special duty at headquarters over
four years was a colonel, who was in com
mand of a department The superintendent
of public buildings in Wash! had
served less than tine:' years, and lias since
been relieved. The commander of the Sol
diers' home had served two rears and a
bait. Cant Pratt had had ehaqn t,( the

officers had been on miscellaneous duty in

An Offensive Partisan.

garded these friendly counsels and did hU
usual vigorous elect ioneering among the

sailed Cleveland as an immoral man. One
of his customers has long been Ilenry Ward
Beeeher, and one day the Plymouth Mug
wump took occasion to warn him of his
danger. "After the election you will re
pent your retirement from the Republican
party," Downing retorted in a bantering
yet rather hot way. and Beecher replied,
"Downing, my dear fellow, you are the only
place-holder for whom I will intercede with
Cleveland when the time comes for your
decapitation." Downing has now been re
moved, and on his request Beecher has
written to Cleveland to spare him.
Alaska's Value.
Special to the Globe.
Sax Feaxcisco, Aug. Alaska.which
for a long time has been a white elephant
on the hands of the • national government,
now bids fair to justify the wisdom of its
purchase. The steamer Queen of the Pa
cific which sailed from this port Thursday,
carried a large number of passengers •to
Sitka. Some, Including United Sttaes Sen
ator Jones, were merely summer tourists in
search of picturesque scenery, but the ma
jority proposed to become permanent set
tlers of tlu' land office, and bealskins and
mining are their objective pursuits. All
accounts agree that on Douglas island strand
alone enough gold quart 2 has already been
revealed to more' than cover the cost of the
territory to the United States. Two nun-
j drcd and fifty men are employed here, and
recently $100,000 worth of bullion was
shipped from the mines. There seems,
however, to be no field for men without
capital, as all of Alaska is in the hauds of
monopolists, who quickly secured control of
everything of present and prospective value.

Travers as swrctary will command the ad
visory aid of her uude, William R.
Travers, the famous clubster, wit
and stutterer. Three bandied
invitations to membership are being mailed
to persons selected by a committee at New
port These communications briefly char
acterize the venture, as "A Social Club for
Women," and say that replies are wanted
by Sept 15. About all the matrons and
maids in the immediate Astor clique are in
cluded in the 300, and those who join will
vote on additional candidates. The inten
tion is to have the house open by December.
The practical understanding is that the club
will have no hobbies whatever and that it
will especially avoid recognition of the
woman rights agitation. The existing
clubs of fashionable men like the Union,
Knickerbocker and Union league will be
taken as models and there will be rooms for
reading, billiard playing, lounging and re
freshments, besides a hall in which small
<lancing parties can be held. A name will
be voted at the first ineetiug of members.
Probably it will be "The Woman's Club."

International Bicycle Race.
Washington, Aug. 9.—Arrangements
have just been completed for a great inter
national handicap bicycle race, open to
professional riders, to commence at Ath
letic park, Washington, on Monday, Sept.
21, for a purse of fStQ in gold, divided into
five prize heats. The entries will be limited
to twelve men/and each man will run two
heats each day, each heat being against a
different rider until every man entered has
computed against all other starters. Twelve
heats will be run each day, the winner of
the greatest number of heats to receive the
first prize.
BurkvCnrttiff.
It is announced that Jack Burke, who
has been doing Wisconsin towns with Tom
Chandler giving exhibition sparring
matches, will push up this way next week,
and will arrange a match with Patsey Car
diff. Cardiff has been talking light, and
has but recently returned from a trip, it is
said, the object of which was to get a tilt at
the Irish lad. It is hardly likely that Car
diff is in earnest in this, and it is probable
that Ids friends misrepresent him. He may
be anxious to get on an exhibition with
Jack, but Palmy knows as well as any one
else ..it in a hard glove fight he could not
best the young Emerald islander. Cardiff
is a clever and hard hitter, and has a repu
tation well established for these qualities.
Burke is one of the most scientific of mod
ern pugilists, equalled by few and excelled
Iby none. This, of course, excludes Sulli
van, who is above the standard of first-class
men in that he is a phenomenon. If a match
should be actually arranged for more than
an exhibition contest between Burke and
Cardiff, there would be good grounds for
suspecting that the affair would not be gen
uine. The question is, could either of the
two afford to risk his reputation by engag
ing in hippodrome?
Thompson "Win Stay.
When the Cleveland "Thunderbolt" left
his home to come up into the Northwest
for his light with lladley, he announced
that he had packed his gripsack for victory
or a change of residence. lie gave it out
good and solid that he would not return to
Cleveland if he did not win. Others were
as much surprised as Thompson that he did
not score a victory, but few supposed that
he would verify his statement about staking
his place of residence on tke result. It now
developes that Mervine made the announce
ment in good faith, lie his been in Min
neapolis since the fight of three weeks ago,
and he will take up his residence in this
city this week. A contract has been made
whereby Thompson goes under the man
agement of Tom Jefferson for a stipulated
period. Jefferson i- arranging a combina
tion which will include other lights than
Thompson.and will give athletic exhibitions
throughout the Northwest A performance
will be given in this city at an early date.
Thompson will pull against four horses,
wrestle and do the strong-man act • This is
more in the line of his legitimate business.
He has done so much heavy work that his
muscles have become unfit for quick and
clean hitting, such as is necessary for a
good liehter. Thompson is a powerful man
still, although it is believed he is shoulder
bound and will never be able to limber up,
as it were.
The St. Paul Lncros«e Club.
This organization, which holds the grand
championship of the United States, and is
probably as skillful and reliable a club as
was ever organized, is arranging to make a
tour through Eastern and Canadian cities.
The club will play in Chicago, New York,
Boston and also in Canada. The club is
sure to meet with great success, and will do
much toward calling attention to this city.
In Toronto and other Canadian cities they
will receive all the money from admissions,
and the game is so popular there that the
amounts will be very lan:.*, It is the desire
of the managers to establish permanent
grounds in St. Paul to bo used for athletic
■porte of all aorta, and as several United
State* clubs are thinking of visiting here to
contend for the championship, the existence
of such groumls would be very desirable.
The plan of the club is to raise a fund of
51.500 from St. Paul people to purchase
grounds, each contribution representing a
share of ownership in the property. By
this plan the investment would surely be a
good one, as all property here is advancing
in value very fast It is hoped that the
committee will be well received and liber
ally treated, for surely the club is entitled
to the respect and consideration of all
patriotic citizens.
Another Slurs in? Probable.
There was a turn-up between Morris
Hafey and Mervine Thompson on Saturday
evening last in a place on Minnesota street
The two men became Involved in a war of
words through a reflection cast upon Hafey
by Thompson in reference to the former's
faclnsr the great John L. Hafey retorted
tauntingly oat Thompson's getting
knocked out by Wilson. Finally Hafey
planted a right-hinder on Thompson's jaw.
staggering ilervine. Before he could get
back, friends interfered and .the affair
ended. It has engendered feelinc.s between
the two, however, and it is possible that a
hard-giove fight will grow out of the tilt.
If Hafey and Thompson get together some
sport may be expected by the votaries of
slugging matches.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Chicago leads New York by three games,
and its chances for the pennant are very
good. However, its antagonist is a very
powerful one, and the games yet to be
played may change tilings materially.
These two clubs played a magnificent game
in the metropolis on Thursday, the Ma
roons winning by a score of 1 to 0 in ten
innings. Notwithstanding the goose-egg.
Chicago played an errorless game. In the
next day's game Chicago downed New
York by a score of Bto 3. The Interest, is
now chiefly centered in these two clubs.
There was nothing of particular moment in
the other clubs' work for the week. The

There is now but little doubt that St.
Lonis will fly the Association pennant this
time. It has such a substantial lead and
is playing such a strong game, generally
speaking, that its chances are all but as
sured.,- It lost a game to Cincinnati, who
has second place, but took three from Lou
isville and one from Pittsburg, the latter as
we// as Louisville getting a whitewash
from the leader. The chief occurrence of
the week's Association play was a fourteen

winning by a score of 3to 3. The clubs

have done this season at the home grounds
but the visitors could not hit Picheny with
much success. Mays weakened in the fourth

General Sporting: Notes.
The Norfolk cricket club July 23 in Lon
don, Ens?., in their match against the
Maryleboue club and ground, accomplished
one of the most wonderful batting perform
ances of the season. The first three men
on the side each scored 100, and at 6:30 in
the afternoon 500 appeared on the boards
for two wickets. Tho brothers C. J. E.
and L. K. Jarvis scored 241 for the first
wicket These two gentlemen defied all
the efforts of the M. C. C. bowlers to separ
ate them for two hours and forty minutes,
and during the long partnership no fewer
than fifteen bowling changes had been tried.
C. J. E. Jarvis, after being let off in the
long field when he had made 127, was first
out, a catch at point dismissing him for a
brilliantly-hit ISO. Ilansell then joined L.
K. Jarvis, and the pair between them added
no fewer than 113 runs for the second
wicket. Six more bowling changes had
been made before L. K. Jarvis, like his
brother, was out to a catch at point when
the total was 354. He had been
at the wickets for three hours and
forty-five minutes. and his mag
nificent innings of 181, free from blemish,
consisted of twenty-one 4's five 3's, twenty
one 2's, and forty singles. With two wick
ets down for 344 runs, Ilansell and Kenna
way became associated, and for the third
time the bowlers were severely punished.
The changes had no effect whatever upon
the batsmen, who scored with the greatest
ease. Despite all that the bowler could do,
the batsmen were not separated until they
had added 155 runs for the third wicket.
Then Ilansell's freely-hit innings of 136
was ended by a catch in the long field. He
had been at the wicket for three hours, and
had given only one chance to point when
his score was 62. Hay lasted for six hours
and live minutes, so that the rate of scoring
was only eighty-six runs per hour. It may
be of interest to state that during the day
nine members of the 31. C. C. team tried
their hands with the ball. This mag
niiicent batting performance has few paral
lels in the history of cricket — Clipper.
The cricket game beetween the Brooklyn
Zingari and the second eleven of the Staten
Island club, Aug. I, at Staten Island,' was
marked by extraordinary bowling, McGregor
bowling five Zingari wickets for only one
run in the first inning, while Hornby took
six wickets of the Stateu Islands for ten
runs in the second inning, clean bowling
three wickets with three successive balls.

for the Future.
The Day in New York.
New York, Aug. 9.—The Grant family
remained in their rooms at the Fifth Ave
nue hotel all day and received no visitors.
They will return to Mt. McGregor probably
to-morrow or Tuesday. Several clergymen
spoke from their pulpits on Gen. Grant te
day. An audience of over 5,000 people
filled the amphitheater at the Manhattan
Beach hotel this afternoon, and listened
with evident interest to a beautiful and ex
haustive biography of Gen. Grant, delivered
by the Rev. Kobert Laird Collyer. During
the address, which lasted nearly one hour
and a half, the audience several times broke
into bursts of applause, which even the
efforts of the reverend gentleman could not
restrain. Gilmore's band played a selection
of sacred music, including the ''Dead
March from Saul" and Kossini's funeral
march, Mine. Clementse Studwell sang:
"There are Green Hills not far Away."
A marked feature of the service was the
audience rising to their feet and singing
with grand effect: "Nearer, My God^ to
Thee."'
Dr. Collyer reviewed many interesting
points in Gen. Giant's military career, and
at the close of his sermon said: "The esti
mate of Ulysses S. Grant, which dates his
greatness with the victory at Donelson,
misses the golden thread of sequence, for
there is the same life running through all
hisd ays as through all his deeds. The
qualities which shone forth iv such con
spicuous splendor at Vicksburg and Chat
tanooga were no other than those which
marked his conduct upon every field in
Mexico. This same force was mighty
and persistent through those desperate days
of his suffering and death. His character
was greater than all his victories, and more
imperishable than all renown. Before
Grant was a soldier or statesman he had
the sense of justice, the sentiment of gen
erosity, the singleness of aim, the industry
of duty, which made him a man. His
crown of manhood rather than
the sword of the soldier or
sceptre of the statesman is the secret
of his conquests and the pledge of his fame.
His character was as transparent as the
atmosphere. He was never less
than himself. If his speech was re
strained it was never the reticence of
concealment. If he had nothing to reveal he
had nothing to hide. He was silent when
he had nothing to say;, manliness in a man,
his charm and fascination.
DIKING GUAXT'S FIRST TERM
of office as president he attended service in
the church, of which I was the minister, in
Chicago where the sermon was treating
of the unity of the race and the brotherly
obligations of man as man. The president
took occasion after the services to speak in
commendation of the aim of the sermon,
and, with beautiful simplicity, said in the
truest sentence, 'Men are more scarce than
heroes.' At the house of a friend
in Chicago 1 was sitting alone
with liim late into the night when he
closed a long and thoughtful
discourse which I seldom interrupted by re
ferring to the irresponsible way in which
even friends would proffer advice, and ris
ing from his chair, said: 'I have neve?
asked for people to give me advice.' On
Thanksgiving day, 1876, when this country
was under no little strain of evil apprehen
sion, I was in Washington and sitting with
the president in his private office. He asked
me if the peonje thought there would be
any trouble about the inauguration of the
president-elect In reply, I said the people
generally looked to him and asked what he
would do should there be any lawlessness
or outbreak. The president looked amused
and pleasantly answered: 'I know what
I would do. but I don't mean to tell."
QMemoriai services were held to-night in
the Italian church connected with the Five
Points missions. After prayer and the-sing
ing of hymns by the congregation, the Key.
Attouio Arriglie delivered an address on.the
life of America's Grearest Hero. The
speaker drew comparisons between Gen.
Grant and Garibaldi. Both, he said, were
similar in many respects. They eared-only
for the welfare of their people, and sacri
ficed everything personal in order to benefit
their countrymen.
Visit tbe City Hall.
Nt:n- Yokk, Aug. 9.—About 9:GO this
morning the Grant family visited the city ]
hall, and after examining the surroundings ,
of the "syot where the general had lain I
in state, decided that the main
lloral tributes that remained in the gover- !
noi^s room should be sent to the tomb to- j
morrow morning Mr. and Mrs. Fred, Mrs. i
U. S., Jesse Grant and Mrs. Sartoris were
in the party.
Honoring: the Dead.
Chicago, Aug. 9.—Over'two thousand
Union veterans and other citizens attended
the memorial services hi honor of Gen.
Grant at Battery D to-day. The services j
were conducted under the auspices of the
G. A. K. posts here, by whom the large j
hall had been suitably draped and decorated. '
The address of the occasion was delivered
by Bishop Fallows. It was full of elo
quenoe and rich in tributes to the memory of
the dead general. At most of the churches i
in the city the ceremonies had direct refer
ence to yesterday's national funeral cere
mony, the congregations generally being
unusually large. People, as a rule, seemed
to regard the occasion as the last offering I
them opportunity to publicly demonstrate
tlreir respect for the memory of Gen. Grant. .
Dispatches from many localities in the
West speak of services similar to those held
here. i
