Ft, Louis 3 Columbus O Cincinnati 6 Louisville 2 (SrECXU- TELKORAM TO THE DISPATCH.! RK Fracisco, June 21. L. K. Fulda, Pres ident of tlic California Athletic Club, has made publicly a long explanntion and de fence of the action of directors and referee In the Corbett-T.ickson affair. In the beRln nliig of his defense Mr. Fuldu makes this un consciously amusing statement: "We number in our membership scions of the nobility of Europe, properly and regu larly proposed, and elected. Many attempts have been made from time to time to elect under fictitious names influential members of the royal families, but such attempts have seldom succeeded. We recognize no other standing than that of known re spectability." It would be interesting to know what clergymen and members of royal families have been blackballed by the club because they didn't come up to standard respecta bility. Coming down to the question at issue. Sir. Fulda deals first with the state- jnent that the directors had money on Jack son. "The directors, as a rule, he says, "re frain from betting, but a few hare done so from time to time. In my mind it should bo utterly prohibited. On the occasion of the late Jnckson-Coibett match but 3 of the 11 directors had any w agcrs." After declaring that the club has been out rageously imposed upon at times, Mr. Fulda says; "That cither Corbett or Jackson was Inipropeily treated win always remain an open question in the minds of the unattend aut public, but not in our minds or of tho majority of the membership of the club. The gentlemen themselves are the only ones who knew tho inner working of their own minds, but are too astute to give them utter ance, except as they leflect to their exonera tion, preferring, very wisely, to leave their case in the hands of their prejudiced and partisan following. As a general thing, a thoroughly defeated man will explain how the other man was no good and only defeated him by his own failures. Suffice It to say, for our own part, that we only knew at tho time, from their own utterances and our own observation, their trne condition, and Judged them accordingly." mere may ueniore m mat puragrapn man appears on the suiface. Upon the authority of some members, it is whispered about that the real reason for declaring the affair "no contest" was that Jackson and Corbett were oxcrhenrd talking while in the ring and agreeing to make the match a draw. Presi dent Fulda, however, does directly and plainly charge that Corbett deliberately violated the rules Torn the very beginning of the contest by clinching Jackson in every round and paying no attention to the referee's order to bit k away. Mr. Fulda.'s statement of the circumstances leading up to the di-cision of "no contest" is as follows- "Finally, when it becameappa rcnt to the rcfeiee that there wag no pros pect of a termination, he called mo up and said that he did not propose to allow tho match to go on in that manner, or the club to be imposed upon; that the match was for the championship and that the principals should cither fight or be ordered out of the ring."

The rittsburgs won Just 3 games in 1G attempts, 1 each from Brooklyn, New York and Phila delphia. I cannot imagine what tho trouble lias been. The pitchers certainly should have done better, and better efforts should ha c been put forth by the team In general. An inclination to play a sleepy game was noticeable n several" instances, and this may lia e caused the falling off. The ritts burgs nrrived in Brooklyn Decoration Iiav morning in second. place.

President Soden said he could not consent-to Mike Holly's returning. Treasurer Billings said he had made no offer to Kelly.

KREISTTONTEST FESTIVAL. The Turners Enjoy Themselves In Their Usual Hearty Manner. St Paul, June 21. The second day of Kreisturnfest was a great success, notwith standing the occasional dashes of rain that drove the crowds under shelter. Five hundred active Turners participated in the exercises of the day. The games began early in themomingand continued all day without interruption. The feature of the day was the wand drill, in which 500 joined. Ho results were made known to-day of the vari ous contests, the awards to be announced on Tuesday. Kunning jump, putting the shot and fencing took up the morning, and were engaged in chiefly bv the Chicago, Milwau kee, Davenport, St, Paul and Minneapolis societies. The best record made in jumping was by Emil Goetz, of Chicago, who made 19 feet 6 inches. He sprained two toes in the at tempt, which is two feet behind his record. Adolph Stammwitz, of Minneapolis, put the shot, weight 35 pounds, 22 feet 6 inches. There were 13 participants in the fencing. "William Ivckie, of the Lincoln Turnvcrein, of Chi cago, secured 33 points out of a possible 36. "Wands and parallel bars took up the after noon, and to-night an oratorical contest was held. The next meeting will be held at Davenport, la., four years hence. BABDSLEY'S SEHTEUCE. It Is Believed That He Will Be Given a Heavy One When He Comes Up. SPECIAL TF.LEGKAM TO THE PISPATCII. Philadelphia, June 21. Bardsley's sentence and his statement to the Court Tuesday promise to be the features of the City Treasury scaudal this week. There is much spcculation,bothastothe sentence and the statement. The ex-Trcasurcr intends to excuse and defend himself, rather than trace the missing money, and that being the case, it is believed that'he will get a very heavy sentence from the Court. The max imum on the indictments to whicli he has pleaded is 3 years. City and county officials are of the opinion that if Bardsley would make a full and frank confession to the Court it might re sult in taking a number of years off his sentence. On the other hand if he attempted to conceal anything or pro tect anybody, they were as firmly convinced that the Court would give him practically a life sentence. It is said that Bardsley appreciates this fact and it is also said that he believes he will be able to impress the Court with the feeling that he is telling the truth. Those who know him well know him to be sly and foxy and they believe that he is going to be sly and foxy to the end. riFTX CHILEANS KILLED. The Esmeralda Falls In Attempting to Se cure Provisions. "Washington, June 21 The Chilean Legation in this city to-day received a tele gram from Peru, which says in substance that when the warship Esmeralda, after its voyage to San Diego, armed at the Labos Guano Islands the captain, being short of provisions, landed 50 men to take possession of provisions on the islands. The employes and workingmen in care of the islands attacked the men from the ves sel, killing them and taking possession of their arms. The Esmeralda fired 80 -shots, exhausting her ammunition. The dispatch concludes as follows: "It is false that the Chilean Government derived any benefit from the Labos Islands, whose works have been stopped since Jan nary. Perfect order reigns in Chile and the army, well disciplined, is anxious to go to Tarapca and maj;e an end of the nitrate speculators." FEAKS THE DEEBTOD. France "Will Negotiate With the Czar , - through a New Diplomat FOR AN ALLIANCE; WITH RUSSIA. The jlmperor's Vanity Caused the Failure of the First Attempt. GOSSIP FK0JI EUROPE'S GAT CAPITAL Paris, June 21. The Comte de Monte bello, wh n replaces M. de Laboulaye asi French .Ambassador at St. Petersburg, will be specially charged to obtain definite in formation, from the Czar as fo the action of Russia in the event of war between France and Germrny. M. llibot, Minister of For eign Affairs, has learned that M. de Labou laye's failure to get the proposal for an al liance disenssed arpse from the Czar's anger at the faci that the overture was first bud mitted,tp3I. daGiers, Bussian Minister of Foreign.Aflairs, instead of to him. The Czar ordered M.de Giers to ignore the pro posals for negotiations, and took the first occasion to snub M. de Laboulaye, who felt compelled to ask M. Bibot to relieve him irom his duties. The withdrawal of Baron Mohrenheim, Bussian Ambassador at Paris, is imminent, as M. de Xaboulnye acted on his advice. During the visit of the" French squadron to Cronstadt, the Czar will be personally ap proached on the subject of united action against the Dreibund, which is rendered all the more necessary through the menacing of the commercial coalition between the two countries. Carnot Approves tho Encyclical. The French Ambassador to the Holy See has presented to the Pope a letter from M. Carnot, in which the President expressed his high appreciation of the Pope's ency clical on social questions. Ex-Empress Eugenie and Princess Lae titia will start for "Farmsborough to-morrow. Monchrcourt, the liquidator of the Panama Canal Company, has held repeated conferences with M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, on the condition of the com pany's affairs. The report that M. Christo ple is considering a scheme involving the Credit Foncier in an attempt to revive the canal company, is unfounded. Ministers Fallieres and Constans have had a meeting with high judicial authorities regarding the prosecution of M. de Lesseps. Official opinion generally tends against his prosecu tion, but M. Constans says that public feel ing demands that that famous engineer be placed on trial. A dinner was given Thursday at the United States legation in honor of the Bussian Ambassador, Baron de Struve. Among those present were A. L. Snowden, United States Minister to Greece; ex Speaker Thomas B. Beed, D. O. Mills and Miss Porter. On Friday Hon. "Whitelaw Beid, United States Minister, Mrs. Beid and D. O. Mills started on a short trip among famous chateaux around Tours. French Plans for the Chicago Fair. M. Proust, Art Commissioner to the Chi cago "World's Fair, says that at the coming meeting of the committee on the fair, at which Minister Roche will preside, he will submit a plan , to enable France to be splendidly represented at the exhibition. Among other things he will propose to send to Chicago plaster casts of the art objects in the Trocadero Museum, showing the prog ress of French architecture from the earliest times up to the present dav. "These," he said in an interview, "will just suit for external adornment, if the directors will give France a separate art building." The 'directors, he added, might greatly, aid him in his task by guaranteeing artists neainst all loss by insuring their pictures, by constructing galleries which shall be in every way safe, and by convey ing objects of art free from If ew York to Chicago. The trainmen and 'busmen of Bordeaux and Marseilles have gone on a strike. NOT A MERE FIGUREHEAD. QUEEN VICTORIA SOMETIMES INTER FERES IN POLITICS. She Knows Better Than the House of Lords on "Which Side Koyaltj'g Bread Is But teredWhy She Reluctantly Favored tho Disestablishment Bill. London, June 21. The position of the Queen in English politics is usually sup posed to be generally passive. Her Majesty did not approve of the disestablishment policy, but she accepted the decision of the country, and the Commons used her influ ence to induce the Lords on the one hand to accept the bill and Mr. Gladstone to take conciliatory methods with the Lords. The Archbishop of Canterbury was her media tor and go-between, and throughout the progress of disestablishment the bill went through an active period of wire-pulling, interviewing, and lobbying which would have strained the nerves of a professional politician. "When the bill went into the Lords the general expectation was that they would reject it and that another of those Constitu tional crises would arise which threaten the existence of the Upper House as now con stituted. The fate of monarchy is so'Tea sonably associated in the mind of Her Majesty with'that of an heriditary Upper House as tq:rcate alarm when the position of the Iaftcr "appears menaced! Un doubtedly, if the peers had rejected the dis establishment bill "Mr. Gladstone -nould have been backed Up by an enraged coun try, and the always impending agitation to disestablish the peers Its a legislative body would have received a dangerous momentum. The Queen wrote to the Archbishop: Considering tho circumstances under which the measure ha come to the House of Lords, tho Queen Cannot regard, without tho greatest alarm, the probable effect of its ab solute rejection in that House. Carried as it has been by an overwhelming and steady majority through a House of Commons choi-en expressly to speak the feeling of the country on the question, there seems no rea son to believe that any fresh appeal to tho people i ould lend ton different result. The rejection of the bill, therefore, would-only serve to bring the fwo Houses into a colli sion, and so prolongn dangerous agitation of the subject. These words, pregnant of application in the early, future, are being quoted through out the Liberal press as a proof in anticipa tion tha the Queen, accepting the verdict of the country on 'Home Itule, will-use all her power and personal influence to prevent me Lorasirom opposing it. MAKY MILITIA IK PEELL. Two Trains ColUdo Filled With a Body or Soldiers. Londonderry, June 2L An empty train collided with a train carrying a body of militia on a single track railway two miles fromLondonderry to-day.

CYCLONIC DISTtrSBANCES. Trees, Roofs and Signs Blown Down by a Great Gale of Wind. Catro, III., June .2L A cyclone this afternoon did -considerable damage, un roofing great many houses, tearing up trees by the roots', blowing" cars off the rail- road track and knocking all telegraph wires down. L. M. Lass, of the derrick boat, was blown from the bank across the river onto the sand bank. The ferry boat Gwynn, from Paducah with an excursion party for Cario, just landing, was blown over to the Kentucky shore. Aside from roofs and shrubbery very little damage was done in this city. There was no loss of life. SENATOR M'DONALD DEAD. HE PASSES AWAY PEACEFULLY HOUNDED BY HIS FAMILY. SUR- A Biographical Sketch of His Career and a Short History of His Political Achieve ments Arrangements for the Funeral to Be Made To-Day. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH. Indianapolis, Ind., June 21. Ex-Senator McDonald died to-night at 11:35 o'clock. He had been ill for some time and yesterday morning it was feared that he would not last throughout the day. Bulletins were published at intervals during the day and he finally passed, away surrounded by his family. He died peacefully without a strnggle and was conscious almost to the last. The arrangements for his funeral will be made to-day. Ex-Senator Joseph Ewing McDonald was born in Butler county, O., In 1819. His father died while the son was an infant, and tho latter was educated by his mother until his ISth year, when ho was apprenticed to a saddler. He entered Wabash College, Craw fordsville, Ind., at IS years of age, supporting himself by working at his trade at odd hours and between terms'. He was at Asbury Uni versity in 1840-2, and after leaving college studied law. He was admitted to the bar In 1S44, and, removing to Crawfordsville In 1845, established a practice. He was elected Attorney General In 1S53, and three years later removed to Indianapolis, where ho has since followed his profession. He was elected to Congress as a Democrat in 1848, and served in 1819-'51. but was defeated In the noxt can vass', and nlso ln'ISGl as Democratic candi date for Governor against Oliver P. Morton. Ho was Chairman of the Democratic State Committee in 1872, reorganized the party and secured the election of a Democratic Legisla ture by which he wag sent to the United States Senate hi 1875, serving until 18SL While In that body he took a conspicuous part in de bates on finance, and was in favor of hard money and a protective tariff. In 1S84 McDonald was the choice of the Democrats of Indiana for President, and he received the vote of the delegation from that State In the national convention. Ho was thought to have good chance for tho second place on the ticket, at last, but after tho nomination of Cleve land there was a rush to Hendricks that swept everything before. Since that time tho ex-Senatorhas not taken any very active part in politics. A GBEAT ELECTRICAL GENIUS. Something Abont Nikola Tesla, Who Is Known by Many Plttsburgers. Nikola Tesla is fast becoming famous and many Pittsburgers who learned to know him during his stay at the "Westinghouse works in this city rejoice at his progress. A few weeks ago Tesla was thought to be near his end from a bad attack of the grip. But he pulled through, stood up before the electrical engineers and took 250,000 volts of electricity. As he laid down the handles after this terrific shaking up he remarked quietly: "And the' say 1,000 volts will kill a man?" Tesla is a Montenegrin. His family are pastoral people. An uncle is a Bishop in the Greek Church. He is slender in body, nervous m his movements and intense in Jiis application to the mysteries of electricity. His Greek face lights up and his black eyes gleam when he discourses on his favoreU theme. The electrical engineers grow en thusiastic when they talk of Tesla and his discoveries. They Relive that the Greek is the greatest pioneer to-day in the field of electrical exploration. So declaring, they bar not even Edson. Tesla performed before the engi neers some experiments whicli one of them declared had not been exceeded in startling inijjuiiauvc S1111.& j.-aiauaj a iiuic. X1U bug gested and illustrated new tirinciples and possibilities. He advanced the theory that electrical and other phenomena are iden tical. "We cannot call electricity ether, but we may call it ether associated with matter," he said. "With the development of his theory of ether power Tesla opens up a future which is dazzling. "The time will come," he says, "when all our machinery will be driven, not by steam or electricity, as now? but by a different power. All we want is a way to energize the dormant force. ."When we find that the settler in the wilderness as well as the manufacturer in the town will enjoy the benefit of it. "WHITELAW BEID'S BIO HOUSE. Hls Country "Beslnence Will Eclipse tiling Ever Tet Gotten Vp. Any- Mr. "Whitclaw Keid's new country house at "White Plains, when completed, will bo the largest, handsomest and most thorough ly appointed of all the luxurious country re treats of wealthy men in the vicinity of New York, says Contractor A. L. Bridges. The old house burned to the ground simply because there was not sufficient water at hand to put it out. "We are putting in a water-works plant that will supply enough water for a small village. This has suggest ed the introduction of.a dozen other modern luxuries, which heretofore have been sup posed to be attainable only in town or city. Such is the electric. light plant, which will furnish light for the big building from gar ret to cellar. The guest chambers number over one dozen. The dinipg room is long and high, almost completely sheathed in glass on the two,sides, and finished in polished oak. The library will perhaps be the most remarka ble room in the house, with shelves for 25, 000 volumes and finished in fine old season td woods, that will look as if they had stood the worms and frosts of centuries. The hall of entrance is as spacious as was the re tainers' assembling place in some medieval castle. Three open fireplaces will heat it. These are qlso found in every room, and a steam-heating plant supplies their deficien cies from the standpoint of actual warmth. Nothing on an equally extensive scale has been attempted in a country house before. It is now nearly ready for occupancy, and I know that Mr. Beid will give a house-warming in the old baronial style when he takes possession. Next faifT I think, it can be thrown open. The cost will go very near $1,000,000. WILL HOT RESIGN YET. Superintendent Porter Says the Census Wprk.Is Well np. "Washington, June 21. Various reports were in circulation to-day to the effect that Superintendent Porter, of the Census Office, had resigned. To an Associated Press rep resentative.who called on him to-night, to inquire into the truth of the rumor, Mr. Porter emphatically declared that he had not resigned, and that he did not contem plate doing so until he had com pleted the work which he had undertaken. The large number of removals that are now being made in the bureau, Mr. Porter said, was because of -the completion of the work for which the persons discharged were em ployed. He said the work of the bureau is well up, and that the statements will be completed by the end of July, and all hut two of the ten volumes will be ready for the printer by J my x.

The Greater Part of It Now Carried on by the, United States. EUROPEAN SUPREMACY IS GONE. Pennsylvania Appears to Be the Most Favored. State There. CONNELISYILLE COKE IN BIG-DEMAND tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn. Philadelphia, "June 21. If Europe in tends to regain supremacy over Mexico's foreign commerce she will have to do some tall hustling; at least such 'is the opinion of "W. E. Butcher, a former Philadelphian now residing in Monterrey, who is in this city at present, a guest of the Eimwood Club. "The Mexican newspapers claim that Eu rope gets most of the foreign trade,'" said Mr. Butcher, in the course of a conversa tion upon the baby Itepublic, "but statis tics recently issued disprove that statement. To-day three-fifths of all Mexican exports and imports are transacted with the United States. It was only a few years ago when England, France and Spain held com- Elete sway over the foreign trade, but they avc lost a great deal of it," and they are losing more every month; and the reason why the United States has been able to step in is because of the recently built rail roads, and because ot the Mcluuley bill. The city ol Monterrey js the best in stance of what Americans, can do in Mexico. Eight years ago this city had 20,000 inhab itants; railroads and Americans came in, and now its population; by the last census, is given at 46,000. . The Boom at Monterrey. "Monterrey, you know, is -the capital of the State of Nuevo Leon, and is about 175 miles from the Texas border. It used to be a sleepy old Spanish town; but now every thing is on the jump. In 1882 Americans commenced to come in,. with the railroads, and now there are 3,000 or 4,000 of them there Smelting slants, emnlovine millions and millions of capital, are in operation, on account of "Windom'S decision regarding the duty of lead contained in ores, and more are being built. Two lines of steamers are be ing organized to ply "between New York and the new port of Tampico, about 300 miles from Monterrey; Americans are starting manufactories in Monterrey and elsewhere,-" and Mexico generally has awakened to the fact that her salvation lies in a high pro tective tariff", whereas the United States has all to gain by reciprocity; "It seems hardly possible that Mexico will agree to any reasonable plan of recip rocity, however, because she has vastly more raw material than she knows what to do with; and she is succeeding splendidly in getting mills and factories started with American money and American machinery, both of which, you may be sure, come in without any duty at all. Pennsylvania Well Represented. "So far, Pennsylvania and New York are better represented in Montterey than any other States. AVilliam P. Grimm, formerly of Philadelphia, has a large knit goods fac tory there, and it is the only one in the Republic of Mexico. He is doing splen didly, and buys all of his wool within 30 miles of his office. You can readily see what a tremendous advantage he has over those who have to pay for raw material grown 600 or 700 miles away from their factories. "During the last year Monterrey has been enriched by three smelting plants for silver and lead, all managed by Americans, and owned by them and the English, Spanish and Mexicans. The Guggenheims, of Phila delphia, wnose worKs were lormerly at Pueblo, are putting in at Monterrey nine furnaces; and when, completed, these will lorm one of the finest smelting plants on the American continent. They will have a capacity of 450 tons a day, and with the other two plants will need fully $10,000,000 capital. Still another large smelting plant, owned by the Kansas City "Works, is being put up at San Louis Potosl. The removal of these industries to Mexico, and the con sequent loss of capital, etc,, to the United States, is due entirely, as I said before, to the reading by Secretary "Windom of the silver clause in the McKinley bill; and nobody is more delighted with that inter pretation than the Mexicans. At first they were anxious, for taey did not see what would result; but nowthey have great smelt ing plants put in, enriching their most pros perous commercial center, and they are mighty glad of it. A Great Benefit to Labor. "All the labor at the furnaces will be na tive, except officers of the companies, of course, and the machinists. Three years ago, wncn i nrst Knew somctning about Mexico, common labor cost from 25 to 37 cents per day; at present you1 cannot get an able-bodied man to work for less than 75 cents. Houses that rented two years ago for 510 or $15 a month, now bring from f40 to $30. Two years ago there was not a show window in a store of Monterrey. To-day the merchants have a high fever to see which can make the biggest splurge in such decoration. "So far Pennsylvania seems to be more favored in Mexico, for the manufacturers down there want Connellsville coke, and they get it whenever possible. Of the 3,000 tons per month used by the Monterrey fur naces nine-tenths is Connellsville coke, and when the Guggenheims get started they will need 2,000 tons more per month. Monterrey gets considerable soft coal from Indian Territory, and this, mixed with Pecas coal, from'Texas, is used by the rail roads. And, by the way, one sees more Baldwin and Porter locomotives than any other. Mexico has some coking coal in the Sabina district, near San Fillippe, in the State of Coahuia, and the milling of this is growing to be a very large business. It is owned, I believe, by Huntingdon prin cipally. Cost of Living In Mexico. "As an example of what it costs to live in Mexico, just consider some prices of manufactured goods brought in from the States. Fine accommodation at the prin cipal hotel costs about ?10 per week. Fur niture used to be brought in over the Bio Grande, and a common cottage suit, costing $25 to $30 in Philadelphia, would sell for $115 to $120 at Monterrey. But nil this will soon be changed. A big factory owned by Gerome & Dougherty is turning out furniture there, and they will be able to supply the market before long. "It is a curious fact that nine out of every ten hats you see in Mexico bear a Philadel phia trade mark, even including the som breros. A hat sold at $3 here costs $8 or $9 in Monterrey. I have seen no American neckwear in Mexico, that in vogue being of French manufacture and very costly indeed. Steel Rail Trade Lost to England. "Heretofore all steel rails for the railroads came from England to Galveston, and were then brought through the country in bond. But when the new port of Tampico is fully established this will be changed. A Phila delphia steamship company has already placed a line of vessels there, and is build ing more, jiireauy a xoreign company nas' a line plying between New York and Tampico. "The population of Mexico numbers about 10,000,000, but of these only about 3, 500,000 are available as commercial factors. Splendid law and , order exists in the larger cities, and the judges don't allow technicali ties to interfere with the process of justice. ,Education has been made compulsory, and in the City of Mexico isone of the finest military schools in the world." Mr. Butcher said again in closing that the United States has everything to gain from reciprocity with Mexico; but that the latter has about made up her mind to follow the example of the States, and foster manufac tures.

CORPSE OF A MAN DRAGGED rROM THE GRAVE FOR TESTIMONT. Three Photographs of the Cadaver At tached to a Deposition in Court A Girl Claimant's Effort to Establish the Iden tity of Her Father. Cincinnati, June 2L Three spectral exhibits photographs of a cadaver, which had lain in the grave for eight months are attached to depositions handed up to Judge Shroder in the .Ernst case. The body is that of Andrew Ernst,"who died near Gunnison, Col., in August, 1889. It was placed in a box, the head resting on a bag filled' with hay. A thin shirt, trousers and a piece of canvas wrapped around the feet constituted the dress when the body was ready for bunal. It was taken to Gunnison and in terred by an undertaker there. The April following, litigation having arisen over a legacy of $5,000 to one Andrew DeKnlb Ernst, who had been missing for 25 years, the undertaker caused the grave to be opened, and with the aid of a photographer, raised the body, when three photogranhs of it were taken, and subsequently attacked to the depositions of the undertaker and his helpers Andrew DeKalb Ernst was a. son of An drew Emst, whose portrait graces the wall of the Mercantile Library. He left the property on the northwest corner of Fifth and Race streets, to Seth C. Foster, in trust for his widow, who was to receive the income and devise the property at her death. She gave it to her children, certain legacies excepted, one of which was $5,000 to Andrew DeKalb Ernst, her stenson. He had disappeared early in the sixties. He left two children in Louisville. One of them, a boy, died in a blind asylum. The other, a daughter, upon attaining woman hood married a stenographer, and is now living in St. Paul. This daughter is the claimant of the $5,000 legacy in question. The legacy to Andrew DeKalb Ernst was conditioned on his being alive at the time of the testatrix's death. There is no doubt at all that the St. Paul woman is the daugh ter of Andrew DeKalb Ernest, deserted by him in infancy. But before she can take the legacy she must show that he was living in 1883 and is now dead now. She contends that the Andrew Ernst who died in 1889, in Colorado, was Andrew DeKalb Ernsther father. Her claim is opposed by the rep resentatives of her grandmother's estate. ABE LINCOLN CUBED HIM. How the Martyr President Took a Dram From a Whisky Barrel on a Bet. New York Son. "William Graham Green, now 80 years old, taught President Lincoln all he ever knew about grammar. He tells this story: There used to be a fellow named Enoch Easten, who spent a lot of time.loafing around. He was a betting, trifling kind of a man and he had a lot of tricks that he was always bet ting on. He had a trick of doubling np his hand in some way so as to hide his middle finger. Then he would bet you that you couldn't mark his middle finger with a pen. I lost some nickels betting with him, and one day Abe Lincoln said tome: "Billy, you ought to know better than to bet on anything, but especially than to bet with a man on his own tricks. You ought to quit it." "But, Abe, he's got 90 cents the "best of me," I said. "Will you promise me that you'll never bet any more if I manage it so that you can get 'way ahead of him with one bet?" asked Lincoln. "les," 1 said, "but I'd hate to quit loser." "Billy," said Lincoln, "youaregeiting to an age when you're beginning to think a good deal about the girls. Wouldn't you like to have a plug hat to wear when you go M.ii:nH n i...m ' ' "Yes, I would," I said, "but they cost $7." ' ""Well, said Lincoln, "when Enoch comes in here again and wants to bet with you on his tricks, you just say that you don t care to bet on such trifling things withhim, but that you will bet that Abe can take a 40 gallon barrel of whisky off" the floor and take a dram from the bunghole. You' say that you'll bet him a plug hat on it." "But can you do it?" I asked. "That night he took a barrel of whisky and chimed it up a little on his left knee, and then tilted it on his right knee, and kind of bent back, and I pulled the bung out of the hole and he took a dram sure enough, and spurted it right out again on the floor. The next day I won the plug hat from Enoch, as Abe had said I would. I have kept my word ever since, and I've never bet on anything. And what's more, I wouldn't for $1,000." A Hard Question.

SPECULATIONS OP THE DOCTORS. Sonell's Case lias an Important Bearing on Hydrophobia. . AN OID C0XTE0YEBSY AGAIN REYITID ..SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, June 21. The gila monster that bit John Sonell's finger in Dr. C. S. Allen's snake poison laboratory Saturday appears to have been a harmless specimen. Controversy rages over the poisonous or non poiSonous nature of this lizard's bite, but Sonell w"as certainly more frightened than hurt. Dr. Bcnsel, who had charge of the case at Belle vue, could find no symptoms of poisoning, and felt sure that the man could get well if he djd not die of fright. This morning the swelling of his hand, which might have been caused by the cutting out of the flesh which the lizard's teeth penetrated, sub sided somewhat. Sonell became convinced that his fears of death were groundless He was able to cat, and permitted a cneerlul serenity to overspread his face. But the mental shock had been so great that he was still weak. "When Dr. Bensel was asked to-day what he thought of the case, he said. "There is no doubt that the man will get well. He either was not poisoned or else the wound was cauterized in time. It may be that the gila monster had been biting its basket and had exhausted all its venom. Or, again, it may be that the gila monster is not always poisonous." Dr. Bates, who cauterized the wound, said: "I have seen the gila monster bite a good many times, and I do not believe that it is any more venomous than our little lizard. It's ugly appearance caused all sortsof superstition to arise about it. If it is poisonous then I think Dr. Bensel's idea may be right. I have seen a rattlesnake bite a half a dozen dogs. Jhehrst dog will get a full charge of poison and will die in a few minutes. The second dog will not die for some time. The third dog will either not die at all or will take a much longer time. The fifth and sixth dogs may show no signs of poisoning. I do not think that the absence of the "crazy plant" in the habitation of the gila has anything to do with its poison. It it is venomous in one place, it will no doubt be venomous every where." The case of this man Sonell is interesting just now in another way. There have been several cases of supposed death from hydro phobia lately, and some controversy- has arisen as to whether "the victims died of the bite of a rabid animal or the fear of death. The balance of testimony inmost of these cases has been in favor of the theory of tnght. let here is a man who receives a bite from a supposedly venomous reptile, and who is convinced by long experience as a snake charmer with venomous reptiles that the bite will kill him. His whole bearing showed that he had no hope of es cape. He is not an educated man, and is of an excitable, nervous temper. But he does not die from fright. The mental shock prostrates" him, but his reasoning powers seem to have been sufficient to con vince him that his mdrtal fear was ground less. MANY BANK CLEABANCES.
