Cincinnati’s Police Commissioner Lec- tures the Saloon Keepers. Crxcrxwatt, July 27.—The chairman of the saloon keepers’ mass meeting, which, on Thursday, resolved to defy the law next Sun- day by keeping their places open, went before the board of police commissioners yesterday to ask the board to rescind its order of a few weeks ago, so that the police would not make arrests in their cases until Monday. The chairman of the board took occasion to deliver a short address with the approval of his fellow members to the effect that they had no power to suspend the operation of the law, and that although they might not be personally in favor of the passage of the Owen law, they were bound as officers as well as citizens, to obey it and see to its enforcement. He pictured the attitude of the saloon keepers in such a sedi- tious light, thateven the chairman of their mass meeting was obliged to say that they must obey the law, and he thanked the boar for its courteous treatment of him. There is no doubt that the police will be active to-mor- row in enforcing the law. oowentnces~O A BOY MURDERER. He Confesses How He Killed His Father and Mother. Mason Crry, Iowa, July 27.—Wesley Elkins, eleven years old, who was under arrest on sus- picion of having murdered his father and step- mother in Elk township, Clayton county, last Wednesday, yesterday confessed his guilt to Judge Hatch, He had had some difficulty with his father and the night of the murder he slept in the barn, “Between 2 and 3 o'clock I went into the house,” he said, “and took down a rife which was hanging in the kitchen, loaded it and went into the room where m: father, mother and sister were sleeping. — the muzzle of the rifle near my father’s ead and fired, This frightened my mother, and I went into the kitchen, seiz a club, went back into the bedroom and Killed her. I stayed around the house about thirty minutes, then decided to arouse the neighbors. I took the baby from the bed, re- moved its blood-stained clothing and went to a neighbor’s and aroused them.” ‘The murderer bears an intelligent look and many now, notwithstanding the confession, be- lieve that the story is told to shield some one else. —_.—____ A BIG SUGAR CARGO. Insurance Companies Anxious Over the Non-Arrival of the Thetis. Pumaperrnta, July 27. veral of the large arine insurance companies in this city are greatly concerned over a $350,000 risk recently taken on a cargo of sugar on board the steamer Thetis at the Phillippine Islands bound to Sandy Hook for orders. A large part of the cargo had been sold to be delivered to Phila- delphia refiners, The Thetis was a Clyde-built vessel, and is known as an “Ocean Tramp.” She sailed from Iloillo, one of the perts in the Phillippine Islands, with acargo on April 16. The insurance of the cargo was effected in this city after the ship's departure from Lloilla, She d Gibraltar on June 24, since when noth- ing has been heard from her. The passago should not have taken more than fourteen days, and it is now thirty-three days since she passed out of sight of the signal station at Gibraltar. Should the ship have been lost the disaster will be one of the most important re- corded among freight vessels in recent years. The value of the ship id cargo is nearly $500,000. The vessel is a new one and is rated as 100 Al at Lloyd's, and cost #120,000. The ‘Thetis was commanded by Capt. Cameron, and her crew consisted of forty men. It is feared that Capt. Cameron ran a course too far north and has struck an iceberg and been lost with all of his crew. ——.-— THE LEWIS BROTHERS’ FAILURE.

Hubbs suspected trouble and drew his pistol, holding it at his side. Bierce then opened the door again, and the shooting occurred as related in dispatches last nignt. The room where the = iting took place presented a horrible specta- cle. The walls were spattered with blood, tho fur- niture turned over and broken, and large pools of bloods covered the floor.

A Story About Governor Francis’ Visit to New York. Sr. Louis, Mo., July 27.—Gov. Francie is just now on a mysterious visit to New York, and the story has gained circulation that he was in the metropolis for the purpose of selling out the new merchants’ bridge to Gould. The bridge is now under construction in the northern part of the city, and was to be en active competitor of the present Gould bridge. Governor Francis and his friends are heavy stockholders and the story goes that the franchise was secured on a@ speculation and that Gould would ultimately capture the structure. 8. W. Cobb, president of the bridge company said last night that there was nothing in story, and that the bridge would be built. He ridiculed the idea of selling out to Gould. a ee A Cousin of General Grant Insane. Cutcago, Jnly 27.—A dispatch from Norwalk, O., says: The sheriff took Mrs. Sally H.

GRIT OF GEN. ORDWAY’S MEN. THEY ARE ALL MARK TAPLEYS. Not Discouraged by 8 Saturated Camp and Food Fiascos, —_—_—_ BUT THEY WELCOME THE SUR. —_—__ Baanca Ormice Evanra Stan, Cane Onpwar, Fort Wasuinetox, Mo., July 27, 1889, PLUVIUS had , things pretty much his own way when Camp Ordway swoke this morning, The rainhad poured down 3 but there was no duty to do, sothe men “just dressed and then sat down to wait for breakfast time, It would be only reasonable to suppose that a'large propor- tion of the men would be cross—the rain was p- | enough to make a very patient individual think of profane expressions—but the reverse was true. The utmost good-humor prevailed in all the camps, and a thousand means were put into 0} ion to keep dull care as far away as possible. Even on the right of the 2d regiment, where the water had accumu- lated until the tent floors were in danger of floating away, there was laughter and song; the boys were bound to make fun out of every- thing, and they succeeded admirably. At a little after 6:30 the various Soom de- tail —— through the muddy es wn to the fort to @ the tables for their com- rades, who followed half an hour later. There was no attempt made to march the men down the road. That was a miry sea, in which all hope of pedestrianism was drowned, ie regiments formed for breakfast but their march was a decidedly irregular one. They made long detours to avoid the road and its vicinity, and held up the skirts of their overcoats to avoid bedaubing them with the ever pleasant slime. Nota few of them had taken off their boots and socks and these were less careful; with their trousers turned up to the knees they Loe into the pools of liquid clay and splashed the parece g raiment with rilliant yellow hue, Everything was soddened that was not sheltered by house or tent, but the same old cries of “dog” and “soup” and “We go into dinner, but come out much thinner,” were ag frequent and as noisy as they ever were, THE MOUNTED MEN AT AN ADVANTAGE. The cavalry and artillery pounded around on horseback, apparently obvious of the bespatter- ing results of their steeplechasing, and the envy of nearly all the foot soldiers in camp, Breakfast was soon sed of and there were no complaints as to the either the quality or quantity of the food. THE WELCOME SUNSHINE, The different phases of human feelings and desires were plainly developed in camp when the rain ceased and the sun came out, The first regiment cheered vociferously as orb of day slid from behind @ cloud and smiled on tho camp, but the cavalry gave a groan, for they are water worshippers (for external ap- lication only) and were just getting ready to ill. In alittle while they cong d their aversion to the sun and decided to drill. They were a little later than the artillery in getting to work, but after a while they got ont and commenced maneuv- ering over their parade ground, The artillery had its guns booming in great style, and in spite of the heavy condition of the ground put upa@remarkably fine gun drill. e camp is rapidly rocovering from its soaking; clothing is hanging out on tentropes and there is much ity. To be true prototypes of Mark Tayley the brigade should have become gloomy, but it didu’t it is not built that way, FAST COLORS. ‘When the flag went up to the head of the brigade flag staff this morning’ everybody sup- posed it had gone up to stay. The man who pulled the colors up fastened them to one end of the halyard and when he got them in place he had _ rendered extremely probable that one could get them down with- out amputating the flag staff right at theankle. Gen. Ordway said he would give a dollar to any man who would put things to rights, and he will pay the money to ’Gene Crist, the well- known bicyclistand member of the Fencibles, AFencible man had made the blunder so Crist thought he ought to retrieve the com- pany’s reputation. He climbed the 60 feet of ole and despite the fact that there was great aa er of its breaking, took the flag down when he slid to the groun an athletic feat, ADJUTANT BARKSDALE’S TROPHIES, If a world of sentiment can be twined around one lock of hair, what possibilities lurk in the tangled tresses of half a hundred fair maidens? Adjutant Barksdalo, of the first regiment, has just about that number of scalps strung on ribbon. It makes a novel ornament for the interior of his tent and the dangling locks give the black quite a a warpath look. Tho clippings are from ladies who think the major is too sweet for anything, and who don’t hesitate to say so. Hoe is all the adjutant any regiment is looking for, AN OBJECTIONABLE FISH LUNCH, But few men made any pretense of enjoying the fare which was set before them in the mess sheds at lunch yesterday. The principal article onthe bill of fare was fish chowder, the in- gredients of which wery haddock, tomatoes, potatoes, corn and onions, Codfish had been served for breakfast, and in some way or other the idea took possession of the men that the chowder had for its basis the refuse of the morning meal. This notion (which was wholly without foundation) would have been enough of itself to prevent any con- siderable consumption of the chowder, but there was another serious obst is wa badly cooked. Of this there can be no doubt, and it was not at all — ising that a great majority of the men would not it. But there was no as fe No army re; ion any count at tempts to compel a soldier to eat what 2 does not like, and the national is not con- structed on a disciplinary more severe than that of the German or English armies, It has been a by no means uncommon occurrence for soldiers in the army of the United States to leave their mess table and to complain of the quality of the fare to their ompeny com- mander; it probably happens every day in the week at some post or another. But there is no mutiny in it. The Constitution has made careful ion for the protection of the right of petition, and it is the by boa of every American citizen to appeal tc a higher power when he believes he is not being fairly treated. This is all that was done yesterday.

While nice things are being said ously about folks in general it is not at all inopportune to get in a good word for the ambulance corps of the camp. Gen. Ordway, job mgr He oe men Tae aight aia That Ve WO! night an untiri seal, and have sacnel ook in Ff of aig to answer calls without a grumble.

They had unharnessed and crept back to bed and were just dozing again when a bugler, away up the road, blew the sick call, One of them witha quick ear dis- tinguished the call, and back went the horses to the pole, and in a jiffy the ambulance was speeding up the road again on its errand of mercy. There is lots of work and compara- tively little glory in the ambulance service, and Lah ap men who have acted in this line during the camp have earned many compli- ments for their activity, efficiency, and untir- ing energy.

Gray- bearded men listen to his instructions with the strictest attention, and are sincere in the thanks they give him for the points he gives them, ‘There have been several rather ridiculous ef- forts made to fasten a title to him, and he has gradually risen from plain cadet to the “gee of lieutenant, captain, major and colonel.

The assembled forces on the wharf gave them a rousing send- off that sounded like “I wish we were with you,” while the lucky ones grinned back their adieus to the mud from the rail. As the boat a out into the steam oneof the latter owed and grinned back and waved an um- brella with an air of “Don’t-you-wish-you-were- in-my-boots?” that maddened the men that were left behind, and thei: ‘ting shot was a chorys of derisive yells and hoote and groans that rose above the puffing of the steamer and echoed back and forth between the shores a wail of disappointment.
