VOL. VIII. THE BOMB BUTCHERY. An Extraordinary Tale of Far-"Reaching Conspiracy Among the Chicago Anarchists. Confessions of Murderers That Eead Like Koniances of the Dime Novel Character. Diabolical Designs of the KulUans Now in the Toils to Overthrow the City Government. Every One ot Thorn to bo Made to Feel the Heavy Hand of the Law. The Anarchist Conspiracy. Bpeciul to the Globe. Chicago, May -«.— The grand jury has partially performed its duties, so far as they relate to the recent uprising of the anarchists in this city, and indictments have been found against all those whom the oroseeution believed they could convict Other true bills will be returned in due season, but not until the officers present the evidence necessary to convict them, which will be in a day or two. It was the original intention of the state's attorney not to return any indictments until all the evidence in connection with the hayiuarket and other riots had been introduced, but this course was deemed impracticable. Mr. Grinnell. prosecuting attorney, of course denied the truth of the story telegraphed to the Gi.or.i:, but eriminial court otiicials and several of the jurors were willing to talk and they admitted that they had agreed to indict for murder. Spies, Schwab, Fielden, Fischer. Lingg and Schaubel; for assault to kill. Lingg; for conspiracy, Spies Schwab, Fischer, Lingg. Fielden, Schaubel. Pai sons, Engel and llirsehuerger; for unlawful . assembly^ Spits, Schwab. Fielden, Fischer, Lingg, Parsons, Schaubel, Hirschberger, Ensrel and probably Schneider. In the near future, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Holmes, Apel, Schneider, Brown and a few others may be treated similarly TO THEIR UI.OODTIIIF.STY LEADERS. but the "informers" now in custody and at large will not be meddled witli unless they evince a disposition to relieve the neighbor hood of their presence or attempt to con tradict their confessions, which are now in the possession of the state's attorney. If the state's attorney does not convict Spies, Fielden, Schwab," Schaubel, Linsrg and Fischer of murder and hang them, he will send them he says to the penitentiary for a term for conspiracy, the punishment of which is three years. Lingg is really in the most unfortunate plight of any. for in addition to his being held for murder, conspiracy and unlawful assembling he lias been still further indicted for assault with intent to kill on Officer Lowenstein, who arrested him. The jury, however, did not stop with these an archists, for it also took care of Peter Ros siter, another tire-eater, who was indicted for intimidation. As far as can be learned from the testimony of Capt. Schaack and others before the jury, the story of the con spiracy savors of dime novel literature, and makes one of the most thrilling chapters in the history of Chicago. It originated in the diseased brains of the rabid MEHBEBB OF THE AXARCIIIST GROUPS, and it was they who carried it out to such a successful end from their point of view. In working up the story Capt. Schaack has a right to his reputation as an officer of recognized ability, and when he was com pelled to go over ground that had been trodden to some extent by otheis, he hxs unravelled the mystery, and though he has not found the bomb-throwers, he has wound the cords around Spies and his followers, so that they cannot possibly escape. To begin with, in their desire to overthrow the present governmental institutions and place them selves in control, the Anarchists of Chicago resolved to exist in two forms — armed and for agitation. Both branches were com posed largely of the same members, the only difference being that the armed Anarchists were the extremists who favored blood-shed on the slightest provocation. These armed outlaws met in secret places, away from the meeting places of the agitators, so-called, and while they drilled with Winchesters, revolvers and other deadly weapons, their followers were busily engaged in manufac turing dynamite and making bombs. Among these armed anarchists were the men Will iam Lichtner andtJustaf Lehman, who have "squealed"' and are SOW UNDER ARREST. Their story is that Lingg Seliger, who told where the former was hiding, and George Engel of Milwaukee avenue have for a long time been engaged in making bombs. These bombs were removed by Lingg and his co-laborers to the meeting places of the armed wing of the anarchists and were disposed of temporarily as was deemed prudent. It was generally under stood that an attack was to be made on the police at the earliest opportunity when any of the anarchist meetinirs were interfered ■with. When Spies had indulged in his in flammatory remarks, causing the McCor mick riots, he went to the Arbeiter Zietung office and wrote the revenge circular, which was set up by Fischer anc Hirschberger and printed by a well-known firm. These circulars were distributed by command of Spies by the mysterious man on horseback, who is now known to the police and who is wanted. About the same time he indicted the circu lar Spies expressed a desire to have the armed anarchists meet on the Monday nigh at the usual place in a basement on West Lake street. Accordingly the meetinsr was held, and either Lechtner or Lehman, the •♦informer," WAS THE DOORKEEPER on that occasion. The intention of Spies to hold a mass meeting on the next night — the fatal May 4— in the haymarket was made known, together with the announce ment that the time for action and arrived, iiingg, Fischer, Engol and the others there expressed their belief that the police would attempt to break up the meeting, and it was resolved that to prevent this bombs should be used. A tignal was agreed on as to when the bombs ghould be thrown into the ranks of the policemen, and in order to further carry out their diabolical design, details were Blade of squads of anarchists, who would almost simultaneously attack some of the north, northwest, and southwest police stations. All the anarchists detailed were to be armed with bombs, a number of which were in the basement at the time, having been brought there, it is supposed, by Lingg and Engel. When the police were attacked in the hay market, the fact was to be made known as quickly as possible to quads of anarchists at the various rendezvous, and by their assault- Ing the police stations in the vicinity it was hoped to prevent the entire reserve force of officers from concentrating. Having ar ranged these matters satisfactorily, the con spirators were informed that the Arbeiter Zeitung would PUBLISH A CERTAIN PARAGRAPH, the words of which wen uttered by some other leader would be a sigual for the as sault of the officers in the haymarket. This paragraph, it is said, was published in the Arbeiter Keitung, and the haymarket meet- Ing was held in strict accordance with the prearranged pians. Spies, Fielden. Schwab. Fischer, Lingg. Engel, Lechtner. Lehman. Hirschberger, Parsons, Schaubel and the other leading anarchists being present To further carry out their infamous designs, the lights in the vicinity were turned out, and when Capt. Ward ordered the mob to disperse the signal was given and the bomb was thrown, with the effect already known. Parson* Heard From. Special to the Giobe. New York, May 20.— The Morning journal prints an alleged letter from A. R. DAILY ST.

Citicago, May 20.— A disastrous fire oc curred in a large brick and stone structure at the corner of Congress street an«i Wa bash avenue early this morning. . The loss will approximate fully 51,000,000. Among the principal losers are the publishers, Bel ford, Clarke & Co., and the large book bindery firm of Donohue & Heuneberry. The structure in which the tire originated is at the northwest corner of the two thoroughfares, and was six stories in height. The first alarm was turned in shortly after 5 o'clock, but before 'the . arrival of any fire steamers the names had I burst out of the building with such fierce ness as to insure the destruction of the en tire structure and its content*. In a very I short time after the flames were first dis covered the building was on lire from , top to bottom. It was tilled with material of the most inflammable description. I The occupants were Belford. Clark & Co., publishers; Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., in the same business; Donohue & Hanneberrv, | bookbinders; K. H. Peele & Co., litho graphers, and the Central Lithographing company. Mr. Belford, of Belford. Clarke & Co.. places his loss at 5300.000, many valuable plates being destroyed. Next door was a five-story building, owned by A. O. Slaughter, and occupied ■ by the I furniture firm of R. Deiinel & Co. -'. Th's I farm was burned out a short time a?o, and was just moving back, and had only a small stock on hand. The loss will not exceed $5,000. The most exciting part of the tire was the panic which occurred among the guests of the Hotel Brunswick, directly opposite the burned block. The heat was so intense that every pane of class in the W abash avenue front of the hotel was broken, and the sashes and win dow frames scorched. The guests became alarmed, and not stopping to dress them selves, fled from the hotel.. The loss by '^ HEAT AND WATER ,.,.-. ,:; ;. „ / to the hotel folks will aggregate $5,000; fully insured. Capt. Joe Kenyon of truck No. 21 was seriously injured. In jumping I from the truck on arriving at the | tire he fell, and the wheels of the truck passed over him. Both of his legs were broken, and one of them was so mangled that it will have to be ampu tated. William Langdon of truck No. 1, was badly cut in the hands and right arm by falling glass. John Breen and fireman O'Neil. both of truck No. 1, were also cut by falling glass. The truch, which was, a new one, was caught under the falling Con gress street wall and was completely de stroyed. The insurance carried by Bed ford, Clarke & Co. is not " known, but it will not cover the loss. The other firm losses, so far as ascertained, are as follows: R. H. Peale & Co., loss 40. 000, insurance §35,000; Donahue & Henneberry, loss §250,000, insurance 8160, --000; Van Antwerp & Co., loss 53, 000, no insurance. The insurance on the building and contents was written with thirty . com panies. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is supposed it »' , ,y, STARTED IX THE ENGINE ROOM,, in the northwest cornor of the basement, and, as the building was full of elevator shafts, which acted as so many flues, it took the flames but a few minutes to spread through the structure and seize otjt j Ih flammable material with which it was filled. Every floor was filled with heavy machinery, the top floor alone containing twenty-five Gordon presses. The litho graphic and stereotype plates were stored in the basement, and it is thought a good deal of this valuable property will be saved. The loss on the building will be about £100,000; insurance §90,000. !..':..;., Secured the Legacy. V *,- Special to the Globe. •'!*', - loiiaca, N. V.. May 20. — There is great rejoicing here to-night among Cornelhtes over the favorable decision that has just been rendered to-day in the great Fiske-Cornell university will case > ; by Surrogate Lyon. It will be remembered that Prof. Fiske claimed that the legacy, to Cor nell university for library purposes; aggre gating over £ 1,000. 000, was invalided be cause by section 5 in its charter, the univer sity was limited in its "holdings". to a sum not exceeding 33,000,000. .He further claimed that if this proposition was not good, his wife had willed to charitable and literary '.institutions., including Cornell university, more than one half her estate, and that the excess over one-half should come to him as her hus band. Surrogate Lyon decided against Prof. Fiskeon both of these grounds, partly upon the facts and wholly upon the law involved in the case,. . and in his decree entered .;• and f re corded to-day, the judge ratifies , r all the payments made by Executor Btiacdman to the university, and directs the executor to pay over to the university upward of §140, --000, which is now on hand and ready for distribution. He adjudges that all the pro ceeds of the remaining property atter the future expenses of administration are paid, shall be - . , '..vY ;v> . . TURNED OVER TO COUXELT, .UNIVERSITY when converted into money, or at such other time or in such other form as may. bo agreed upon between Executor .. Boardmah and the university. Judge Lyon finds that : the value of Mrs. Fiske's estate at the date of her death, after the; payment of her debts, was £2,025, 933. 4G, and that the value of the university, property in which, under section 8 of its charter, the university was entitled to the income was §2,690.012.20, consisting entirely £of •. the proceedings of the college land script and Western lands located with this script. But he decides that the.' property which the university owned absolutely, subject to no conditions, under section 5 of its charter, containing the 83,000,000 clause, did not exceed $593,588.62, thus leaving over §2,000,000 Which the university could take under Mrs. Fiske's will if the residium shoul happen to amount to that. The actual value of the legacies, specific and residuary, it is estimated will amount to between $1,250,000 and §1.500, --000, and all of it is to be devoted to library purposes except $40,000, which is to be used for a hospital for sick students; • ST. PAUL, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 188 a AGAIN THE UNDER DOG. One Member of the St. Paul Team Does Sufficient Bad Playiue; to Give OsLkosh the Game. In the Prettiest Contest of the Season Eau Claire Beat 3 Minneapolis by One Score. Duluth Gives AlilwnuUee a Dose of the Medicine lilvcn St. Paul and Minneapolis. Osmond Wins the Derby at Epsoni I .- — The Minneapolis Gun Club Tournament, Cinrk Defeats St. Paul. The St. Paul Base Ball club went out to the , league grounds yesterday afternoon, ami allowed', its country cousins from Osh kosh to beat it. O'Brien was in the box ami Tray behind the bat. Tray Ion:: ago denumstlated the fact that he can't play ball, ami he did a great deal yesterday to strengthen the impression. It was impos sible tor him to get a ball to second base in time to catch a man, and he has a faculty of th-ow'ng the ball either too high or low, and it not infrequently occurs that a man gets to third on his error. He is about as fast i as a cord of wood, and the ball has to be thrown straight into his hands before he can catch it. He had two splendid foul balls yesterday .in easy reach, and lie was so slow in getting under then: that they didn't even touch his hands in coating down. lie did.' however, make a two-base hit in the eighth inning. Clark, who was put on first base yesterday, man aged to drop nearly every ball that was thrown to him, and several runs were made through his errors. His playing as so bad that he was put at short and Blackstock sent to first. As a baiter ■he is also very weak. He strikes at the ball as though he | was afraid he would soil the cover. The throe strong men in the team yesterday I were Cleveland, Wihnot and Frazee. Seely yesterday did some IIKAVV BATTIXO, but seems to lack practice in fielding. Wil mot distinguished himself rs a base runner by making two pretty sneaks from second to third almost under the pitcher's eyes. O'Brien pitched a fair game, no very heavy batting being done against him until he became tired in the seventh inning, and he made a clean left hand stop and shut out a man on first that was the best play in the game. In the eighth inning his arm gave out and Wilmot was Drought in from left field to finish the game. - He was hit harder than O'Brien, but the ball was sent into the field and fell into the hands of the fielders. 'In the first inning that he pitched he threw but four balls before the side went out. In the field he did some, excellent work, cap turing several long flies and making several assists. lie made a wonderful line throw from the left Held fence to Douthett on sec ond, which would have laid a man off had not Douthett dropped it. It was the worst played game of the season and Hunter, the umpire, helped to make it so. His decisions were so extremely rank that the auditors gave expression to their disgust frequently and in terms more forcible than graceful. His decisions were mainly against the home club, but the visitors were also ■ sufferers at his hands. He lost his head completely and acted as though he never read the rules governing the game. But one thing must be said to his credit, and that is, when he rendered a decision, he had the good taste to stand by it and not waver. The Oshkosh club has several fine-, base ..- runners. :~ and some good fielders; v " In Van Dyke they have a good catcher, but their pitcher was badly hit. He is wild and succeeded in pitching the ball into two batsmen dur ing the the game. They are THE WORST KICKKR3 that have have played in this city. The leader in this peculiarity is Pope, the sec ond baseman, who caift play ball a little bit. but wakes up by crying to bulldoze the umpire. At the ninth inning the score stood 17 to 10 in favor of Oshkosh and the prospect of a disagreeable defeat stared the home team in the face. The visitors went to bat in the ninth and succeeded in getting in two runs, raising their score to 19. The St. Pauls came in and tin; hardest batting of the day was done. Cleveland made a two-bagger and Tray sent the ball into center field for two bags. In this inning Cleveland, Frazee, "Wilmot aud Blackstock each made an earned run before Clark got out and ended the game, the home team got In six runs. If it had not been for Clark's horrible playing on lirst base, the St. Paul team would have come out with an easy victory. To-day the home team meets the Milwaukee club on the West Seventh street diamond. The game will be called at 3:30 sharp. Duryea will pitch and Sage catch. With this battery a good game is looked for.

The visitors got a bat ting streak in the second, and with three hits and errors by Bates and OKourke got in three unearned runs. In only two in nings were they permitted to score.

An Imposing Assemblage of Workingmen Now in Session in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. Knights of Labor Considering: Various Matters Eclating to the Good of Their Order. New Organizers to bo Appointed In Place of Those "Who Have Been Derelict. Members of Ohio Typographical Unions Expected to Join the Order ;;.",,!)()() Strong;. The Knights of Labor. Cleveland, 0., May 26.— The Knights f Labor were up late last night, and in con equence it was rather late this morning before they were astir. It was 9:20 o'clock when Mr. Powderly left the hotel, and it was 10:40 o'clock before the general assem bly was rapped to order by the chief execu tive. In the meantime the delegates con gregated in groups in the halls and corri dors discussing labor topics. AVhen the call for the convention was issued by Mr. Powderly he only enumerated five causes of complaint that were to be adjusted. These were boycotts, strikes, the Southwest troubles, the rela tion of the Knights of Labor to other organizations and the instituting of new assemblies. Since the delegates have arrived many of them have plans that they would like to spring upon the special session. Whether these will be discussed or laid upon the table cannot be deter mined as yet. One of these plans is to agi tate the subject of the government regu lating the railroads. A member ot the order from Allegheny, Pa., has prepared a long address upon the subject, and the del egate from his district will try to secure a hearing for him. The gentleman's address also deals with the project of a national board of arbitration. Another matter was made public by free discussion this morn ing. For some time past the executive board has not been satisfied with some of the ORGANIZERS OF THE ORDER, and several have had charges preferred against them and their commissions re called. So to prevent hard feeling by re moving these' men, it is proposed to have the commissions of every organizer, from the chief down, recalled. ■> ~ A reporter asked Mr. Richard Trevleck, the chief or ganizer, about the matter, and that gentle man said: ••It is true that such a plan is being 1 agi tated. Much of the trouble in the order ris ing from rapidly-increasing membership and the installation of our assemblies is due to poor organization. It is not the fault of either Mr. Powdcrly or the executive board. In making appointments, . they must rely upon the recommendations of the district assem blies. They do not, cannot know all the men recommended and appointed. A few weeks ago in one city I met an organizer who, I re gret to say, was under the intluenc c of liquor I asked him where he was going, and he in formed me that he was going to institute an assembly of 500 striking Polacks and Hun garians. This is against the rules of the or der, as we can admit no strikers while they are out. ■ I told him so, but he replied that he held a commission as organizer and would DO AS HE PLEASED. I told him he could institute the assembly but it would never receive a charter. Only a few days ago,at a reception tendered me by ladies, an organizer was intoxicated. We need sober, industrious,' representative men in these positions. It would make hard feel ing to ask for, their commissions, so it is pro posed to make them ante up from | the chief organizer down. ' .This. can. be done hyMf. Powderly alone, by the executive board) or by the executive board under instructions from the general assembly. The best way is the latter, and I think that it will be done in that manner. New organizers will be com missioned as fast as possible, . and* will be selected because of their fitness for the position." The convention hall on either side is lined with tables at which the delegates sit. At the end of the room facing Ontario street, between two windows is the chair of the master workman. Secretary Turner has three tables at the side, at one of which he sits, at the next two assistants and at the third the stenographer. At the oppo site end of the hall is the chair of Richard Griffith of Chicago, general worthy foreman of the order, and next to Mr. Powderly in office. The first business of the morning session was the" acceptance of the report of the COMMITTEE OX CREDENTIALS. The new delegates were then admitted to the hall and the obligation administered. The delegates were admitted only from such districts as were represented at the convention held last year in Hamilton, Out., this being a special of that general assem bly and district since instituted not being eligible to membership in the existing body. Mr. Powderly's address was then delivered extemporaneously. lie referred the dele gates to the call to learn what business was to be brousut forward and taking up the live subjects of strikes, boycotts, labor troubles, difficulties with trades unions and the increasing membership one by one, he advised most careful thought and full dis cussion upon all subjects. He asked that harmony, prudence and discretion should predominate in all matters and that the affairs of the convention should be acted upon with consideration and dispatch. The best part of the address treating of matters entirely within the province of the order cannot be made public. Mr. Powderly resumed his seat amid prolonged applause, and upon motion appointed standing committees of five upon each of the following subjects: Law, strikes, boy cotts and relation of Knights of Labor to other organizations. A special committee of five was appointed to whom was referred the addresses of the president and secretary of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. A committee of five was also se lected to take action upon the matter of the organization of the American Manufactur ers' union, as proposed by Mr. Edwin Nor ton in his address of Tuesday. At 1 o'clock the convention took a recess until 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, so as to give ample time to the committees to do the work laid before them. After dinner the great body of knights left their hotel to VISIT TRACES OF INTEREST • in the city, many of them making pilgrim ages to Garfield's tomb at Lakeview ceme tery. The executive board held a session at the headquarters in the Forest City house, while the boycott committee was at work in room 98 of the same hotel. The committee for the distribution of literature and documents held its first meeting in Sloss hall, while the committee on the state of order, the most important of all, held its session in the parlor of the Weddell house This committee consists of 'Messrs. Frank A. Foster, chairman, Haverhill, Mass.; James Cummings, New York; Henry Mentor.'New York; Robert Shilling, Milwaukee; W. L. Buchanan, Pittsburgh, George McNeil, Boston; Oliver Otis, Rock land, Me.; and Mr. Shaw of Illinois. The afternoon was spent in a general discussion of the matters that were to be brought be fore the committee. Samuel Gampers, president of the State Workingmen's as sembly of : New York; A. Strasser, presi dent of \ the International Cigarmakers' union, and P. J. McGuire, secretary of the Carpenters and Joiners' union, had a con ference with the committee, and related in a general way the grievances that each ex pected to. bring before the commit tee. ; ■ The cigarmakers . spoke ■. of the recent trouble in Pittsburg between the International union . and the Knights -of Labor. The convention will meet: in Pittsburg June 1, and , it is confidently asserted that it will adjourn as « district luuuuublv of tne Knights of Labor. About 35,000 members will be added to the ! Knights of Labor by the action of the CLEVELAND TYPOGRAPHICAL JJNION, Whose delegates to the general assembly expressed themselves as hiirhly pleased and instructed its delegates to the annual con vention to vote that the union go over to the Knights of Labor in a body. It is claimed that the compositors in small towns where there are no unions will swell the number to 50,000. The gen eral assembly will reconvene at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, and daring the re maining session the hours will be from 8 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, standard time. The gen eral assembly cannot possibly adjourn be fore Saturday, and the business may oc cupy the delegates' attention during the first part of next week. A Quiet Organization. Boston, May 20.— The employes of all the steam railroads running from Boston, particularly the freight handlers, have been quietly organizing themselves into local assemblies of Knights of Labor. This week a general move was made in the direc tion of higher wages all along the line, un der the counsel of the executive board of District 30, which caused letters to be sent to all the large corporations. These letters have been received with courtesy. Notices have been received from some of the rail roads that the requests have been laid be fore the board of directors of the respective roads, and that when acted upon the execu tive board will be notified. A Packing- House Complication. CmcAGO, May 36.— The 3,-000 packing house employes of Sidney A. Kent, who inaugurated the eight-hour movement at the Union stock yards, held a consultation with Mr. Kent to-day, at which the latter agreed to continue the eight-hour plan until Oct. 1. What effect this action will have upon the other packing house employers is not known. They had all announced an intention to return to ten hours on June 1. Idle Coal miners. Pittsbubg, May 26.— The majority of the fourth pool miners are idle, and the miners in that pool say that the prospects of their starting soon are very slight, as the operators depend on those of the lower pools for craft, and the Cincinnati market is already well stocked. Formerly these mines were kept in operation by local trade, but the introduction of natural gas de stroyed that business. Industrial Items. About 1,200 iron workers in the employ of the Kensington mills at Philadelphia have de manded an advance in wages averaging about 7 per cent. The mills involved are Stephen Robbius & Sons, Gaulbert, McFadden & Cas keys, Hughes & Pattersons, Marshall Bios. & Co. aud James Kowland & Co. The Edison machine works of New York City begun work again yesterday, after many weeks' idleness, with twelve men. The com pany refuses to abolish contract work, the chief bone of contention, and threatens to re move its plant to another city sooner than yield. :';,:; The Pittsburg stone masons strike has been compromised. , SPORTING SMALL TALK. Evan Lewis the strangler, arrived in Min neapolis yesterday. He is in splendid condi tion and is of the opinion that Muldoon can not win a fall. The match, which is to be Grasco-Roman, will come off in Leland rink this evening and will be hotly contested. Muldoon will undertake to win two straight falls in one hour. : William Woodson of Cincinnati and Ben Williams of Pittsburgh, ■ colored • pugilists, fought four rounds with gloves in a sporting resort here last evening. The mill, which was private, was a terrific slugging contest, and resulted in the defeat of the Cincinnati man, who was badly punished. ; " *v>' -f £ Minneapolis will play its 1 second game with Oshkosh this afternoon. Betting was about even last night, with Oshkosh- rather the favorite in the ' pools. Hereafter a flag will be displayed over the Harrison ' building, Washington and First avenues south, when a game is to be played. ... In the game in St. Paul to-day Duryea will pitch and Sage catch. Blackstock will play at short, Tray at first, Douthett at second and Cleveland at third, with Wilmot, Frazee and O'Brien in the field. Milwaukee trains will stop at the grounds at 3, 4, 5 and 6. The Minneapolis team, with a good pitcher, would distance anything in the league, in spite of the miserable batting of some of its men. Its latest acquisition is Driscoll. O'Day, Horan and Bates are all very poor batters. .Can't a good pitcher bo obtained? E. R. Moehler, the light weight, who stood before Jack Dempsey four rounds for $50, was out as usual yesterday. He looked scarcely any the worse for the contact. ■He does not show a scratch. The summer meeting at Jerome park opened yesterday. The winners of the races were Rock and Rye, ; Buckstone, the ■ Mimi colt, Bigonnette, Duke of Westmoreland and O'More. /*-:=• '■'.'.'■ ' M.

Eau Claire and Duluth, the leaders in the league, will meet this afternoon. Milwaukee will play in St. Paul and Oshkosh in Minne apolis. . In ten games St. Paul has scored 111 runs to the opposition's 108, yet the St. Paul team has lost seven games.

Penflcld, who broke fifteen straight balls and won first prize in tho fourth event, . walked away with a cool $100. He said it was the first time he ever won any money on a shoot. J. G. Smith and H. Durant,' of lowa, are the gentlemen who recently won the state championship badge in a shoot in. that state. They arc daisies. Fred Kimble, the gentleman who invented the Peorin blackbirds, which were used dur ing the match, was present and made some good scores. Joseph Strie of Springfield, 111., who won so many prizes last year, was not present, much to the disappointment of the others. Undo Adams set up the dinner for the boys present, and kept them well supplied with pop and other beverages. About one-third of those present entered under fictitious names, for some reason best known to themselvos. . - • ■■■• Bob White says he never shoots at quail. " Only one clean score was made. ' Personal Following: Doesn't Count. Special to the Globe. Washington, May 20. — Several days ago Warren English, a young Californian politician, called upon the president to urge the appointment of his brother, Will iam English, as /postmaster at San Francisco. The president *. told him all the applications would be carefully considered as soon as the case could be reached. Mr. English remarked that, his brother ought to be given the place on account of his long party • service, and added that he had a larger personal follow ing than any other Democrat in California. The President interrupted him and said: ■"I • care nothing whatever 1- about your brother or anybody else's personal following. Fitness for office is the first, and I may say tho only consideration 1 which governs me. If your brother is a proper man for the placo it will be a strong recommendation in 1 his favor; if he is not, I want nothing to do with him. His personal following cuts no flguro in the matter whatever." •.."..' ' • Mr. English left tho White house with a new idea of reform politics. /. : A Suspicious Character.

Reference is made to the pleasures of shopping in Paris and to the new dresses she has got. The recipients of the letters would not show them to your correspondent, because he had printed other letters and they were afraid Miss Folsom might be offended. "It would not do to be out with the • queen of the White house," said one of the girla ex planatorily. Chairman Warren of the Re publican state committee, in his Commer cial-Advertiser has a long editorial which he evidently wrote himself. The following extracts are from it: • The sphinx of America just now is President Cleveland. His numerous newspaper friends have selected his bride, wrung a consent from all her relatives, ordered and published to the world her trousseau, and, in short, have made every '■•■-..■ PREPARATION FOR THE WEDDING. Nothing is lacking but a single word from the bridegroom that he will make all these outside arrangements good when the proper time comes. This persistent reticence on the part of the president seems to act as a goad upon the teasing propensities of the newspaper fellows. The president himself grows harder and more obstinate day by day. He 'got his back up,' to use an expressive phrase, and up to the last moment he will re fuse to gratify what he regards as tho cruel and unwarrantable curiosity of the scribes. In order to bailie his tormentors the president " might postpone his nuptials until after his ■return to private life, or even turn his back on matrimony altogether." THE WEDDING TO BE AT FOLSOMDALE. Buffalo, N. V., May 36.— The Times to-morrow will print statements that an in timate friend of Wilson S. Bissell says he arranged for the special train to bring Mr. Cleveland to Buffalo to be married, but that the wedding ceremonies will take place at Folsomdale, which is one of the most iso lated spots in Western New York. A St. Louis Lawyer's Troubles* Special to the Globe. : . ; St. Louis, Mo., May Frank J. I Bowman, a well-known attorney in St. 1 Louis, has riled a suit for divorce from his \ wife, Mary V. Bowman, which, when it is ; brought into court. . with the various ; charges and counter charges, will create a sensation. Bowman has the reputation of being a shrewd lawyer, and his domestic i trouble will be hailed with gratification by j the little army of lawyers here who are unfriendly to him. His petition is brief and to the point, covering half a sheet of legal cap, which gives him sufficient space in which to charge the partner of his joys and sorrows with having rendered her self incapable of bearing . children. Mrs. Bowman was served with a copy of the summons yesterday, and although she has not had time to file her cross bill it is ex pected that she will frame an answer that will insure the granting of a divorce to her instead of to her husband. The Bowmans have one child, a daughter 18 years old. Weeping: For Her Lover. Special to the Globe. ' " : S|S Cincinnati, May 26.— Li!Iie Bode, tti« cause of the minder of Fred Kylius by her ' father, Monday night in the village of St. i Bernard, had been quartered with Miss Ben Hardt on McMicken avenue, this city, by Kylius, who represented her as his cousin. She returned home this morn ins and was taken to the drug store where the corpse of her lover is lying. She wept bitterly and bewailed the fate of the murdered man and caressed the body as though it was her nearest relative. She says that no improper relatious existed between her and Kylius; that he had promised to get a divorce from his wife and marry her. Mr. Bode is an old army veteran, having served in the Sixth Ohio regiment during the war. Tried to Shoot an Attorney. Special to tho Globe. Decatur, 111., May 20.— The case of Joseph Keener charged with assaulting Mary B. Hineslcy was tried to-day and attracted a. largo attendance. Thirty-five wit nesses were summoned.
