Bribery Investigation. Albikt, June 14.— The Assembly Investigation continued this morning. Bradley resumed the wit ness stand. Mr. Peckham— ls there not a factional fight In politics in your district between you on one side and Mr. Sessions on the other? Answer— No, sir. Peckham— No discord of any hind in political mat ers? Answer— No, sir; there is some trouble in our town, but not ia our party, in my district. I cannot esy that all the members of the Republican party have indorsed the action of Mr. Sessions at the Chi cago convention. Sessions has not been before the people ..ince that convention. We have tried to keep the question of half- breeds and ttalwarta out of politics in our district. I told Sessions I didn't like his action tbere I kuow C . P Ingerso'l. I don't think I told him I hid voted for Conkling and Platt for the last time. This was on the afternoon of the evening I saw Sessions. Peckham— Do you know Dunnell, cf 'he New York Times .' Answer— He may have been among the corre spondents who called upon me after I made the statement of bribeiylln the assembly. Peskham— Did you tell him yon were going to vote for Depew hereafter?" Here a long discussion followed between counsel, Bangs Insisting Peckham should designate a place In the city of Albany where such a conversation oc curred. The committee decided Peckham's ques tion a proper oae . Bradley— l think I made the assertion that I could get $500 for voting for Depew, and at the same time please my constituency, but I would not do [it. Did not say to the postmaster there that I could get JBOO or voting for Depew. Did not say to ex-Assemblyman Wheeler that Senators get $1,000 each for not going into caucus. I know George T. Euston, of Allegheny. I did not tell hue I would not vote for Conkling again. I did not make any statement to Editor Hall, of Olean, about a big time bring expected at Albany. The statement made in the House was written by himself in Speaker Sharpe's room at the Delavan house the night I handed the money to him. I don't think Jones saw it or read it before I made the statement in ths House. Sharpe seemed paralyzed when I gave him the money, and did not count the money as fast as I would. He finished counting it, however, before I got thro r.gh writing. I want some latitude I may have told Dunnell that the money was given me by an outside lobbyist. I know Lyman B. Smith, of the Buffa'o Courier. I don't think I said to him that money was given me by an outside lobbyist. Another debate between counsel followed here, Bangs insisting that the witness should be allowed to give his anwaer in his own wav, and Peckbam in sisted he should give a direct answer. Peckham re peated tha qnestion. Witness— Know Fenn M. Miller, of Ch»tauqua. Did not sty to him money was paid me by an outside lobbyist . lam pretty positive I did not toll him so Peckham— Did not Miller ask you if that outside lobbyist was still in town the morning after you re ceived the money ? Bradley— He did. I told him I did not know. I was home Saturday, June 4th. I know where Kol sey's cigar store is m Olean I don't remember say ing in his store, • Sunday, that there was consterna tion in store for the people at Alb -ny th 9 f llowiug Peckham— Did you say thit you could get $STO? Here Peckham rested. Direct exainlnated by Bangs -1 don't remember what reporters 1 1 ho wed my speeca to Some of them sent for it and I gave it to the first mau who asked for it. A whole crowd of reporters gathered around me and I was greatly excited of course, ihink I can recall what I said to them. I did not want to connect Sessions with the transaction. I did not do so until I came before tnis convention. I had some conversatian with the editor of the Olean paper, but did not say anything to him to warrant his satemant that startling exposures may be expected next week. What I meant waa that Brady" and tho star route excitement would be more fully developed. In the cigar store, at Olean, I made the statement that I could get XSOO for voting for Depew, and at the same time please my constitu ents. I thought so. for the reason that th? lobby at Albany was understood to be very energetic. I talked with the postmaster at Knapps I told him I could get $500 for voting for Depew. I thought I could do so from tbo common rumor w'aich prevailed about the capital. I remember talking with Heck man I satd Rodders was acceptable to our people and I might yet give him a lift. I was tryiDg to evade answeriug the question from the newspapers on the day I made my statement in the Assembly . The statement I made in Kelsey's cigar store waa in reference to expected developments in Washington. I was in the State inebriate asylum in Bingh&mpUm in 1873 in nine months. I p«d my own board there. I have not drank even cider since that time I Co not even take sauces in which brandy or wine are used . I had an interest in the Peg Leg railroad, and in the oil excitement I sijjueda pa;er giving the righi of way te another railroad company. I forgot about the matter cf signing entirely. Hence my Btat9iH9at that I diu'a't sign. I hiia't n> desire to deceive. By Bangs— Was there anything said of a contin gent of $600 offered you by Session* on the night of June 8:h, and provided Depew was elected? Bradley— l am positive he offered me $UOOI addi tional in case Depew would be elected Bradley continued -No one has ever suggested the idea of my making a false charge against Sessions, or any one else. I forsaw tha; ewery administration man would pitch into an 4- a-, use me, and try to break down my testimony. I never expected to have the benefit of ths $?, r 03. 1 neither combined or plot ted in getting up a falee charge against Sonalor Ses gioos. He took the money from bis pacts pocket. Here counsel rested. By Brooks— ln itating that you could get $W0 for voting for Depew and $2,600 for taking your name off the caucus call, have you any belief or knowl edge on the subject ? Bradley— l have no knowledge on fie subjict whatever Brooks Djyou believe that there are some mem bers of the Assembly who can be purchased? Witness -I think so from newspaper and street rumors. I don\ think aDy senator would take $I,< <X> for his action i n tho matter. I have no p9rson al knowledge-dou'tknowof any person erthsr up cr low down 1o whom im< roper prop sala h»va been made except in this case of my o*n . Cede; Examination to Chairman— Mr. Sessions Daily bad talked to me about voting for some other than Cornell and Platt I understood from his oonversa tloM with me that he wanted to talk v «"^f«^F with me at one meeting of staljarta. .1 wMMsUtned to duty trying to get independents in.

Banjs-I said to Bradley, If you know anything implicating anybody besides Senator Sessions, no matter how high his rank mey be or how low— matter whomhe has voted for or proposes to vote for, who has made you or anybody else any corrupt proposition, just name the person and circum stances here. Bradley replied, I don't know any body with the exoeptlon of Mr.- Young Here Bradley's examination rested. Recess. APIEBKOOK SESBIOH. „ . At the afternoon session State Benaor Sessions was placed on the stand for crow-examination Bangs examined him. Witness said: I have been a delegate to party conventions and have been in the habit of promoting the interest of candidates. I have become versed in that business. I was inform ed of Bradley.s disclosure in assembly. Had heard the evening before that it was a common rumor that I was the one whom Bradley was going to charge with offering to bribe him. I made no attempt to see Bradley about it. >•- , ■ Bangs— Was your conduct ever before examined into by a legislative body or judicial tribunal. Sessions— sir. I was a witness once In the case of a charge of bribery against Frederick Little john before the grand jury here in 1862. I was charged with giving money alleged to be refused. Bangs -Was the statement or charge true? Counsel for Sessions objected to the question. After a long argument, Bangs read parts of a statement going to show Sessions was in Albany and In attendance at the legislature . ■ Smith objected to taking up to much time to reading irrelevant matter. Bangs asked if he could continue, and the com mittee decided he could, and heproceedd to read the statement going to fchow Sessions admitted he was paid for arguing in favor of bil s before the legis ature. Also he had not spent a dollar on any mem ber of the legislature to effect passage of bill*. The deposition acknowledges receiving money or urg ing the passage of several bills. Witness -I gave that statement in my statement and as much more before the grand junry. I gave a full history of the proceeding- I do not think I was a clerk in the Senate at the tim«. I was, perhaps, what you would call a lobbyist. I was endeavoring, by argument, to induce members to rote for bills. One of the bills was to secure a Bite for a postofflce in New York. I spoke to to dividual members to favor or it and got $5,000 for nt work on the postofflce bill . Long after that I icted as a lobbyist off and on . Aoted as such six or atven years. During that time I came here as a obbyist marly annual'y. I advocated such bills as [ received pay for. I don't thiak I was here but once before I was elected to the Senate between 1863 md 1870. Was here a few days in 1870 and 1871. Was here when Winans left his party in the Astern >ly I occupied a room with him and left the day >eforehe left tbepa.ty. Had no conversation with limon the subject, flayed poker a little with Wi ians. It was not much of a game. Not for a toon land, bless your soul, no. ' • Bangs, l do you know of anyone who was so inti nate with Wtoans as Mr. Sessions, just before he vent over to the Democrat! i party and changed the majority of the House? ■ - * .. . Witness— l was not at all intimate with him, nor lo I know anyone who was. Bangs— Do you know James Forsyth, of Troy ? Witness— Yes. Bangs— you know something about Rouse's (111? ■ Witness . Never beard of such a bill . Guess Fou don't know as much about what you have been old as I can tell you. I know Forsyth. Knew he was connected with a bank in Troy, because he had a •heck on it and I thought he was going to stop pay ment on it. It was for services against the Albany >ridge bill. He gave me a check for 81,000 to op rase it. 1 was to render service for the bill. Don't emember whether he had a relative in the legiela are at the time. I had a brother in the assembly n 1853 and 1854, and afterwards in the Senate. b'orsjth wanted that I should aid him in lef eating the bill. I engaged to do so. He gave me % check and said he hoped I would not present it till he next day, and thought he intended to stop pay- Dent, and I went out and got a horse while he took he cars for Troy. I got there in time to get the check cashed. Never divided any of that money with any one, not anything else ■ I have assisted in Washington in one or two little matters. Wh«n I eft Bradley in the Delavan house on the lower floor, [went up to Senator Wood room. There were several in the room at the time. I hive talked to members of the legislature to get votes or Depew, I told the caucus on tbe night of the Bth of June I had secured a vote. I thought I had got Bradley to vote for him I don't think I supposed I bad secured his vote for any other candidate, and I felt I had won that vote. I felt confident he would so vote when he told me so . In his room he told me I would not be disappointed to his vote I knew of lis having voted fcr Andrew Depew, awhile for Gov. Cornell and others, and when he voted for Oonk llng and Platt I was quite surprised. I cannot enumerate the number of conversations I had with Bradley on this subject. When Bradley come to my room there were Hudson of the Brooklyn Ea gle snd myself and daughter to the room . I would Dot have talked to Bradley on the subject of his vote before Hudson . Bradley came to my room, knocked, and I went out with him I don't remember that Bradley lacked his do r Never had any reason to believe Bradley was a corruptable man on the Bth of June. Never had a thought of him in that con nection. Never had any difficulty with him. Adjourned. : . ■ THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE. As It Casts its Light on the Chicago Markets.

Washington, June 14.— There is consider able talk here about Gen. Grant's interview in which he criticises President Garfield's admin istration. His outspoken condemnation of the administration has added force to the whisperings here that a stalwart member of Congress will, after Congress meets, antago nize the administration. Hitherto but little attention has been paid to this talk, as it seemed to come mainly from disappointed applicants for office, but General Grant's open opposition to the President leads to the impression with some, that the stalwarts will undertake to assert their powers in the next Congress. A promi nent follower of Conkling said to-day that the purpose of Grant, Conkling and their friends, will be to drive Blame from the cabinet; that both Houses of Congress are very close, and the stalwarts can easily control the balance of power in the Senate and House, and that the demand of the stalwarts will be Blame's retirement. This talk is not. couuted as of much importance in administra tion circles. Friends of the President say that if Conkling was powerless in his opposi tion to the administration when in the Senate he will be still weaker when out of it. The administration is confident that not only are Conkling and Platt beaten, but that two ad ministration Senators will be elected. The treasury investigation committee to-day submitted a preliminary report to Secretary Windom of the evidence found against the custodian's department . The committee re port that they have found a regularly organ ized ring which has been in existence for years, and which has been misappropriating money, and defrauding government officials and employes who were connected with the ring. A more complete and thorough in vestigatian will be ordered. All the facts heretofore reported in the Western Associated Press dispatches relating to the selling of car pets and other frauds of the ring are reported by the committee. The report of the treasury investigation committee, submitted to day, recommends the immediate discharge of Pitney, custodian of the treasury, Norton, assistant secretary, and of chief clerks for having violated the law. Mis 3M. M. Gillett, of Wisconsin, but a res- I ident of Washington and a law student, was appointed to-day, by the President, notary public for the District of Columbia, the first instance where a woman has received such an appointment horn a President. SAINT PAUL. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 15, 1881. WILD WINDS. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE ' SUNDAY CYCLONE. Terrible Devastation In Southwestern Mis souri and Kansas— A Double Visitation at King City, Mo.— A Wide Sweep of Country Completely Denuded— Details of the Terrible Destruction- Crime and Casualty Record. ■ #» THE DESTBUCTION AT KING CITY. Kino City, Mo., June 14.— The denizens of this little place were Sunday afternoon, about 5:30 o'clock, startled by the approach of a cyclone making its appearance from the West and heading directly for, this point, striking terror to the hearts of all. A feeling of trembling and awe, as of certain impending death, gives expression to the state of the community. The cyclone * had its beginning about two miles south of Rosendale and twenty miles a little south of west of here. It gathered force as it came on, its mad fury assuming a ser pentine shape, covering a tract varying from two hundred feet to one-quarter of a mile in width, sweeping everything clean in its path. It was seen fully an hour before it reached here, and within a mile and a half of here it shied north a trifle, striking the northwest boundary of the town and spending its fury three miles south of here. Houses, stock, trees, shrubbery and even grass were demolished in its path, everything being laid waste and the whole territory strewn with fragments of timber, houses and domestic articles. While the cy clone lasted the air was filled with various objects. Men were picked up bodily and thrown seventy-five feet in the air, and landed a quarter of a mile away. A farmer named Maynard, living four miles west of here, in attempting to escape the cy clone took a wrong course and ran into it. He was driven against a fence post and pierced through and through by a four inch piece of timber, death ensuing shortly after; His grown daughter Grace, was carried one-fourth of a mile from the house and found in a cornfield devoid of all clothing except stockings. She, too, dead. The rest of the family were saved by fleeing to the cellar. The house was blown into fragments and scattered for miles about. R. T Nelson, a farmer living a mile north of town, was sitting on the back porch reading and was killed. Two sons near by escaped being severely injured. The rest of the family were at church. . Mrs. Roberts and two chil dren, three miles east of .Rosendale, were killed and their house totally wrecked. Several fine country residences were blown to fragments, hundreds of cattle destroyed, fine crops and fine orchards damaged. The total loss is not less than $200,000 to $500,000. One farmer lost two hundred and fifty head of stock out of 285, and many more proportionately. Many farmers are left desti tute of everything. At Flag Springs several houses were blown down and considerable property damaged. The whole of Empire Prairie suffered incalcu able loss. The destruction took place at or near King City and Flag Springs. Later in the evening another cyclone passed north of Savannah, Andrew county, northeast into Nodway coun ty. From information received it appears the cloud formed in a field about eight miles northwest of Savannah and moved .southeast, tearing timber, trees and fences, until it struck the laree brick house of Na thanial Kellogg, situated about six miles north of town, which it tore to pieces. Mr. Kellogg and family were absent from home at the time, and no doubt escaped being injured. Two horses belonging to Mr. Kel logg, which were in a field near the house, were found in a field a quarter of a mile away, supposed to have been carried there by the cyclone. ' The cloud then moved east, and at this time was about 160 yards wide. The next building in its way was the residence of Mr. Holt, near the toll bridge. It struck the corner of the house, moving it off the foundation and damaging it considerably. W. Wright had fifty hogs killed. . John Parks' house further on was blown away and Mrs Parks was severely injured. Theman's house was carried away, as was the Baptist church near by. Laughlin's house further on was blown to pieces. The furniture, clothing and everything contained . in the house were torn to pieces and feathers strewn all through the timber. Stoves and all kinds of house hold goods from the houses were carried through the air, and the owners have not yet found any of them. Linn Roberts' house was destroyed, as well as that of E. A. Fishford. From there the storm passed into Flag Springs and King City. The cyclone was about a quarter of mile wide, and was very violent. Fully two-thirds of the houses blown away were unoccupied, the families being away from home, either to church or visiting; otherwise the loss of life would have been frightful. CASUALTIES IN THE MISSOURI CYCLONE. St. Louis, June 14.— Additional accounts of the cyclone in northwest Missouri, Bunday evening, are that a very large amount of prop erty was destroyed, considerable numbers of lives lost, and a great many persons injured. Those known to have been killed outright are R. C. Nelson, C. E. Maynard, Miss Maynard, Mrs. G. Roberts and child, and a man whose name is unknown. The injured, so far as re ported, are: Miss A. Gee, will die; Miss May nard, severely injured; William Miller, danger ously injured; Robert Miller, seriously injured; Israel Wood, injured; wife and children also injured; Frank Burke and a company of four teen persons, all injured and bruised; John Cott and family, injured, and children since died; Wm. Ricks, severely injured; Mrs. Ricks, fatally injured; Mrs. RichardsoD, right arm and ribs broken. 03A&E CITY, MO. Osage City, Mo., June 14.— Careful ex amination of the portion of this, Osage coun ty, traversed by Sunday's cyclone, discloses the fact that about fifty houses were destroyed with other buildings, and corn badly damaged. Probably the number of wounded will not ex ceed thirty or forty, some dangerously and not expected to live. The total loss to peo ple in this county is about $100,000, while many families have been left wholy destitute. Only three persons were killed outright. The town of Flora suffered more than any one place, nearly every house in the town being destroyed or badly damaged. THE WIND IN KANSAS. Burlingame, Kan., June 14.— The cyclone in this county was more serious tha» tele graphed from Topeka yesterday. It could not be sent from here on account of the wires being in bad order. The cyclone first formed be tween Arvonia and Olivet. It then passed northwest, going out of this county m ths direction of Pomeroy, Franklin county, In ite course it killed five persons, including John Rosencrans, John Harper, a man named Brown, two colored children, and a person whose name has not yet been learned. The houses of the following named persons were destroyed: J. Devilin, J. Reegby, Theodore Bence, Frank Thornton, K. Thomkins, Phillip Fine, Phillip Fine, Jr., Wm. Picket, Joseph Picket, G. E. Manly, J. W. Sorgevit, J. G. Marshall, two houses of E. L. L. Marshall, two houses of J. C. Hawkins, tenement house of W. Van Tassel, and many others. These were all farm houses in an old settled county, and many of them fine residences. At Greene, Mo., the Presbyterian church was destroyed, and other buildings. Of the first twenty-seven buildings named, a majority were on opposite sides of a road leading from the west into Greene, Mo. This road divides two school districts, and all the families were absent attending their Sunday services. WATER SPOUT. Louisville, June 14.— Reports to the Cou rier-Journal from Shelbyville, says a regular water spout fell upon the western half of the county late yesterday evening. Barley, wheat, rye, hemp, etc., are nearly, all destroyed. In Mason county the rain storm last night did much damage near Washington. Houses were unroofed, barns blown down, and land washed in many places. Other parts of the county were affected also, but not so seri ously. LYNCHED AT LAST. Little Rock, June 14.— The Gazette's Rus sell ville, Ark., special says: Last night, be tween 12 and 1 o'clock, an armed crowd of twenty-five men, thought to be from Franklin county, friends of a murdered woman, took possession of the Dover, Pope county, jail, and hung Col. Emory, the murderer, whose death sentence Gov. Churchill, a few weeks since, commuted to twenty-one years' imprisonment in the penitentiary. Emory resisted and was shot in the head.

A further change is to be made in the hours of through trains on the St. Paul & Duluth road next Sunday. The people of Crookston,who have most in terested themselves in the project of a railroad from Detroit or Lake Park on the Northern Pacific to their town, have lately been encour aged to believe that the road will be early built, by assurances that the Corbln banking company has adopted- the pro ject, intending t» convert it into a fact accomplished. The beginning of the road on the Northern Pacific appears to be unde termined, and if that is so it is not out of order to remark that the Lake Park line would cer tainly be the cheapest and b€6t, because it would be mainly through a settled and orderly country. [Western Associated Press.] Duluth, Minn., June 14.— Mr. Hoffman, of Philadelphia, engineer of the new Duluth & Winnipeg railroad, arrived here this morning with a few of bis assistants. Mr. Hoffman will establish an office in Duluth for his own use and that of his engineers and draughts men, and before another week has passed work on the new road will be commenced. A number of Boston capitalists have sub scribed $5,000,000 toward the construction of this road, and no time will be lost pushing it through. On a Burst. He might have been a Prussian, Frenchman or Russian, or, perhaps, an I-tal-i-an, but he was'nt — not by a tank-full. He was, in point of fact, a blarsted Englishman, and he was snatched bald-headed by Officer Casey yester day afternoon for making a disturbance at Grote's Tivoli. He said he did'nt care a tinker's copper for the court, judge or entire police force. He was brought before hizzoner and gave the name of A. B. Keir. The court said he would have to fine him $10, whereupon he 6aid he would explain how they did in the old country. The judge remarked that he did'nt care how they did it, and that he would have to differ with him. He then got on his ear, saying there was no use trying to get jus tice in this country anyhow. He said he would just as leave pay $50, and on leaving he wanted to know if the fellows around the court drank the fines up. On the Rampage. A woman with a wagging tongue, said the old man, as Mrs. Galvin, a female with a dynamite nose, appeared before the court yesterday morning, is as bad to en dure as a nest of hornets in a bald headed man's hat. The woman had been arrested by Officer t Shields for raising perdition in her house. ' She drank quite freely and bulldozed her liege, who is three score and ten or more, twice the age of the defendant. The chancel lor said it was her first appearance and sen tence was suspended.

American Breeders- Sporting Events at Home. Another Win for Iroquois; London, June 14.— At the Ascot, Lorillard's rloquois won the Prince of Wales stake, Geolo gist second, Great Carle third. Seven ran. The other runners were Nesseliff, Maskelyne, Cullodin and Voluptary. Iroquois started as the favorite in the betting at 5 to 4 against him. The royal party, comprising the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaugbt, and others, drove to the course with usual state. ; Cullodin jumped away with the lead and made the running at a strong pace clear of Nesscliff, Voluptuary and Geologist, with Great Earle next. 'As they came along Surrey bottom Cullodin held a lead of about twenty lengths. . He was followed by Voluptuary, Maskeyline, Geologist and Iroquois, in the order named, until three-quarters of a mile from home, when Cullodin was beaten by Voluptuary, Nesscliff and Great Earle, who came" on together until - half way up the straight, when they were joined by Iroquois and Geologist, the former ; winning a good race by half a length before Geologist, with the Earle third, and Maskeyline, Nesscliff, Voluptuary and Cullodin finishing in the order named. Archer was again the rider of Iro quois. • A BRILLIANT SCENE. New York, June 14.— A correspondent at Ascot telegraphs that the appearance of the course was much more brilliant than last year, when the royal family was in mourning. A few minutes before the first race the royal procession came on the I grounds, headed by eight huntsmen and yeomen, preceded by the Earl of Cork. After the first race, the Trial stakes, there was an interval of an hour before the Prince of Wales stake race was begun . The horses were paraded in paddock and there was a great rush and inquiries after Irnquqis. The popolar furore seemed to be entirely with the Americans, one gentleman remarking, "I shall back the Americans. Their luck is dead at present." When Iroquois appeared, he was fairly mobbed. : The crowd followed him around. The general opinion was, he has greatly improved since Derby. Since last year the stewards, and the president, the Earl of - Cork y have done much to add to the attractions of the meeting, and have expended here about £15,000 in altera tions and iriclosures, leaving little in the way of comfort to be desired. The amount added to-day to the various stakes is about £14,000. Iroquois would have met Peregrin to-day in the Prince of Wales stake, but the latter horse was scratched last night. It is con sidered certain Iroquois will carry • one or more prizes to the credit of the Americans before the end of the week, while it is the unanimous opinion that Wallenstem, carrying 102 pounds, is the pick of the handi cap for the Workingham stakes on Friday. Lorillard has five and Keene three horses here already. , Foxhall is on his way from Paris, having traveled all the way to Boulogne Sun day night. Providing Iroquois, Foxhall and Robert the Devil meet in the Rons Memorial this will be the most interesting race of the season. -'■■-■■- ri,_ NEWSPAPEE COMMENT. . , The London Times and t Telegraph have ■ each editorials this forenoon congratulating the owners of the Derby and Grand Prix win ners The Times says: It is much for the American horse to have won. - The victory would have been emphasized had ■ Iroquois crossed the channel and carried of the Grand Prix. From another point of view the racing glory of the United States is not merely en hanced but doubled by the successes in France, not of the same but of a second representative of the United States. . . :; The Telegraph says: Lorillard is to" be con gratulated on the fact that he has achieved, within a very few years, what the late Lords Derby, Glasgow and Exeter in vain spent long lives and large sums of money in attempting to achieve. Keene, again, is not less to be felicitated, that within little more than a year from when the first batch of his horses were landed in England he has been successful in the greatest race upon the continent. We entertain no doubt that the American victories will be productive of important results. Already we hear the Messrs. Dyer, of New York, the finest judges of all kinds of stock that the new world j contains, are about to send to this country their celebrated 4-year old Luke Blackburn, together with his costly yearling brother, and also their fine 3-year-old colt Hindoo, by Virgil, who has just won the Kentucky Derby. To them 'and to all comers the old country gives a hearty" welcome, even though, which is far from impossible, there suit may be we shall soon be beaten at the game of which we are the original inventors. London, June 14. —The Times says a Derby winner never before won the Prince of Wales stakes as well. Lorillard'B English String. London, June 14.— of Lorillard's horses except Iroquois, Passaic,Wallenstein, Mistake, and Seneca have been [sc ratched for their en gagements during the Ascot meeting which begins to-day. Passaic has been scratched for the race for the Prince of Wales stakes, which will come off to-day, and Barrett has been scratched for the race for the Royal Hunt cup, which comes off to-morrow.

Sykes, Edgely House, Stockport, England; Thos* C. Hamilton, England; A. S. Teesdale, St. Louis, and C. C. Cook, Davenport. The tiredest man in St. Paul last night was a burly granger, who laid down on the post office steps for a snooze. He was hauled to the cooler by Capt. Clark and Detective O'Con nor, being too limber to stand up. The commencement exercises of Hamline university will take place to-morrow. In the forenoon a contest will take place for the prize essay, and in the afternoon the oratorio of Esther will be produced under the direction of Prof. Priem. The lawn festival last night given by the Clinton avenue M. E. church, Sixth ward, was a pleasant success. Refreshments were served on the grounds, which were lit up with Chinese lanterns, presenting a scene that was most charming. The jury in the case of Moses Bixler against the city of St. Paul, in which suit was brought for $3,000 damages for injury to his property in West St. Paul, returned a sealed verdict yes terday morning, awarding plaintiff damages in the cum of one dollar. Elizabeth Corray came to the police court Monday and wanted a warrant for the arrest of her neighbor, Mrs. Kushke. She did'nt get it. Yesterday Herman Kushke swore out two warrants for Mrs. Corray's arrest, for assault and disorderly conduct. There is music ahead. The union bricklayers employed at Memam'a new building.on Fourth street.near Sibley ,laid down their trowels yesterday morning and in augurated a strike. They demanded the dis charge of the non-union men employed on the building, and the request not being granted they struck. % A lively scrimmage took place about dusk yesterday on Fuller street, between two men named Kuchek and Conroy. Knives and pis tols were talked of, but aside from a couple of black eyes, no damage was inflicted. The affair originated from a miserable qnarrel be tween the families. A fine painting by T. J. Scott, the animal artist, of Yon Arnim, Commodore Kittson's $10,000 stallion, record 2:28, is exhibited in the show window of Adam Fetsch, 111 East Third street, and attracts much attention from pass ers-by. The painting is life-like and does the horse justice. Capt. Justen has found his St. Paul belle after whom to christen the Yellowstone river improvement steamer, lately purchased of Capt. Reaney. The name of the belle i 6 Emily, which has already been painted upon the pilot house and on the side of the boat. The query now is, Who is Emily? And why are you here, Gilbert? said the court, as a craekey little fellow named Gilbert Schon loomed up at the matinee yesterday. That man called me a son of a , was the reply, and I knocked him down. I will fine you $20 or ten days, said the court, for taking the law in your own hands. A collision between two street cars occurred at the corner of Eighth and Jackson streets about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, occasion ed by one of the cars trying to turn the corner before the other one had gotten beyond the curve. A gentleman on the platform almost had his arm squeezed, but no particular harm was done. The annual festival for benefit of the Horn a of the Friendless next Saturday will naturally be patronized by everybody, for the institution has everybody's sympathy. But the ladies actively interested will remind those who might forget this worthy institution, of its deserts and needs, by calling upon them to buy tickets to the festival for themselves and friends. Deputy Sheriff Meyer, of Steams county, ar rived in 6t. Paul yesterday, having in charge an insane woman named Francisca Corror, committed to the hospital at St. Peter. Her family history is a sad one. A year ago her husband was killed by a falling tree, leaving five children to provide for, from two to twelve years of age. She went insane a few weeks ago. A rather bright looking young fellow, named Frank Beckwith, was arraigned at the police court yesterday, charged with the lar ceny of a pistol and three pocket knives from Mayo & Clark. He was formerly in the em ploy of the firm, and it is a pity that tempta tion ehould have resulted in his fall from grace. The hearing will take place on the 20th. The entertainment and festival given by the Swedish society Vega, at their hall on East Seventh street,last night, was in every way en joyable. A large audience was attracted to the hull, and the vocal and instrumental selec tions were given in a manner that called for repeated encores. Refreshments were served, and all present expressed themselves as having been delighted. The case of the State against A. Orle, charged with using a knife on one Rosan and an other man, came up in the police court yes terday morning. The testimony showed that Orle had been attacked by the men while sitting in front of the saloon on Rosabel street, and in attempting to run away he fell down, both men jumping on to him; also that he had used the knife in self-defense. He was discharged. John Kelly, a worker of brass and dealer in finger rings of this metal, was before hizzoner yesterday on the charge of vagrancy. Judg ing from his appearance, the business of ped dling snide rings which cost a dollar a quart in working up, and which are sold at a fabu lous profit, is not a remunerative one. He looked tired and dirty and seedy. The court asked him if he would go away and stay for ever, and he said while that was a pretty long time, he would. He was ordered to leave and he skipped.
