Significance of the Recent Court Proceed
inss In Missouri.
ST. Louis, Aug. 4.--To correct erroneous inn
pressions which seem to prevail, it is deemed
proper to say that the recent decision of
Judge Krekel, of the United States district
court for the western district of Miss ouri,
Upon the application of the Western Union
Telegraph company against Ahe American
Union Telegraph company, wherein an in
junction was sought to restrain the con-
struction of a telegraph line along the road
of the st. Louis, Kansas City & Northern
Railway company does not effect the validity
of the exclusive grants of right of way to
the Western Union contained in the con
tracts of that company in the West, except
in the State of Missouri, where statute law
prohibits telegraph companies from making
exclusive contracts. The relief sought by
the Western Union was an order restraining
the new telegraph company from putting its
wires into the stations of the railroad com
panies, and the court held the application
premature, but intimated that such order
may be granted in the future This deci-
sion, therefore, is only of local importance,
and can have no bearing upon the question
of the validity of the exclusive grant made to
the Western Union in other Western States.
It is understood that the general question
has been submitted to Justices Harlan and
Drummond in recent case, where the Wa
bash railway and the American Union
were restrained from Geographic connec-

KENTUCKY ELECTION

Only Small Vote Polled, But the Demo-
Gratis Overwhelmingly In the Majority
Constitutional Convention Called.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 4.-Specials received by
the Courter-J ournag indicate large falling
off in the Democratic vote cast at to-day's
election for State officers and members of
the legislature. The Democratic central
committee estimated the total vote at not
over 100000, falling off of over $4,000 on
the Tilden- Hayes vote, and over Ii, 900 on the
last gubernatorial vote. In this city alone
the vote falls over 5000. The Republicans
make slight gains in the legislature and de-
feat the speaker of the last House, but the
Democratic majority is still overwhelming
in the general assembly. The call Tor a con-
stitutional majority in its favor. In this
city, where workingmen elected five of the
seven representatives two years ago, only
Democrats were elected to-day. The Green
hackers cut no figure in the contest.
LEXINGTON, KY, Aug 4.-The State cleo
ton passed off quietly with full vote in
this city. Blackburn, Democrat, for COVER
nor, I, 1856; Evans, Republican, 1885; Cook,
National, 20. The remainder of the ticket
received about the same vote, except treas
urer-Stoll. Republican, 1926; Tate, Demo-
crat, 1870; Kastle, National supported by
Republicans, 1885. Woodford county
gives the Democrats majority of 25O; for
the convention, 2,486.

ART EXHIBITION.
A Visit to the Historical Attractions of

Rome.
The art exhibition last night at the Opera
house, with Rome for the subject, was par
ticularly interesting. The pictures of grand
ruins, beautiful architecture, gorgeous
churches flashed upon the canvass in quick
succession, and each one was eloquently ex-
planned by Father Stanley. He introduced
the art illustrations with Lord Byron's
apcstrophe to Rome, the lone mother Of
dead empires. Eternal Rome, grand in
ruins, great in historical recollections. the
scene of imperial tragedies and the martyr
dom of saints, was declared special Mecca
for Catholic and Protestant, infidel and
pagan, for there we're found matters
of commanding interest to all. The churchs
history was interviewer with the very atmos-
phere, and spoke from the very stones of the
streets. Here were collected the relics of
empires; here we're congregated the treas
ures of many and different civilizations;
here were the greatest collections
of works of art, in painting and sculpture
and architecture known in the world.
Father Stanley followed this panegyric
with concise but easily comprehended de-
scription of Rome; the old and new. He
supplemented this with q Typographical ac-
count of the city, its division by the Tiber
into Rome proper and the Leonine City. In
conclusion, Father Stanley invited his hear
ers to take q ramble with him through the
streets of the Eternal City. At this the first
of the series of sights and scenes flashed
into distinct outline, were perfected in
shadow and detail. This followed by an
other, and SO on. Father Stanley led his
audience by the hand and in colloquial
way explained each picture. He called OF
tention to such q mighty ruin, directed OBJ
servation to some imposing edifice, and re.
lated the history of the object or told some
aneodote or episode connected with
the ruin, building, statue or painting which
was given in picture with accuracy and in al
most original beauty. Father Stanley prov
ed most interesting and instructive COM
panion, a model cicerone. All the we'll
known features in ruins, monuments, pala-
ces, churches and art were presented, but
each beca ne to an extent something akin to
real, under Father shanley's explanation.
When the ramble brought the
excursionists to modern Rome,
the reverend speaker became eloquent in his
language about holy church, her martyrs,
her miracles, her benefcence and the gran
deur of her moral and practical work, in
Rome, throughout the world.
Throughout this tour through Rome, the
audience were attentive and interested lis
teners. Satisfaction was made manifest in
exclamation and applause both at pictures and
speech. No little satisfaction was expressed
when Father Stanley announced that
"the ramble" would be resumed tonight,
and extended through Italy into France.
ho So
the benefit of the Catholic parish schools,
and the interest and object demand an in
crease in numbers over the large audience in
attendance last night

ASSAULTED BY TRAMPS.
A Harvester Taken in and Robbed at

"A Harvester Ilken In ana Robbed at
Carver's Cave.
Twelve against one, and they prevailed to
the amount of $43 in money, one pair of
shoes, a silver watch, not counting the
beaten and bruised condition of the one.
About z o'clock last night stranger found
his way to tho police station and made report
that he had been robbed. He looked like 1t,
or something much worse. He pre-
sented a pitiable appearance, head
and face bruised and beaten.
clothes torn; covered from head to foot with
blood, as if he'd been dipped into slaugh-
ter-house vat.
He gave his name as Dominick Areynski,
and then followed with this story: About 5
o'clock yesterday he encountered a. round
dozen of tramps near the transfer house at
Dayton's bluff. They seemed more or less
joyful under the influence of beer. He
was induced, for the sake of drink
and by invitation, to approach
them, became for the moment one of tie
crowd. Somehow, Areynski was led off by
them and into Carver's cave. Here they be-
gan an assault upon him, firsted demanding
his money, which he refused. The twelve
were too many for him, though, as his
bruises and scars show, he resisted them
manfully. He was overpowered, bound,
even gagged, and then he was robbed of $43,
a pair Of shoes and cheap silver watch.
All this time he was treated
to brutal indignity and violence. After &C
complishing the robbery the tramps left.
Soon thereafter Areynski succeeded in re-
leasing himself, came to town and made re-
port of his misfortune.
Areynski is Pole; states he was walking
from Hastings and has been harvesting. The
$40 show him to be provi1ent man.
and letters found on him addressed
to st. Joseph, Mo-, show that
he was in reputable employment there. So
soon as his story was told, Capt. Clark, with
posse of police, started out for the transfer
house. That locality and Carver's cave was
searched, but the tramps had made good
their escape.
Returning to the city, Capt. Clark, in COM
pany with Detective Bresette, overlook q party
of six suspicious characters, on Fourth, near
Cedar street, and arrested them.
On being searched at tie station each man
was found to have an even So or there

WASHINGTON.

Details of Brigands' Raid on Consul
Sprague, of Gibraltar-Plans of Col.
Albert for Purifying the Waters Of the
Potomac.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Consul Sprague, Of
Gibraltar, communicates to the department
of state the particulars of an attempt to ex-
tort money from him on the 9th of July.
The consul received an anonymous letter
purporting to be from six men demanding q
loan of $4,000. The letter goes into all the
details of conveying money to the conspira-
tors, and threatens death to the consul and
his family in case of failure to deposit the
money in designated place. The whole af-
fair is arranged in most circumstantial
manner and bears the marks of practical
hands. The consul communicated with the
police and detectives we're employed on the
18th of July. The day for the deposit of the
money having passed, another letter, more
threatening, but reducing the amount to
$500, was received. In this letter the bri-
gands showed they were cognizant of all that
had taken place since the receipt of the first
letter. The movements of the consul and
family and of the police Mr.. Sprague has
laid before the American minister at Ma
drid.
PURIFYING THE POTOMAC.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Col. Albert, who
has charge fthe improvements of the Poto-
mac, says the flats, with the deposit made
on them by the Washington sewers, serious
ly affects the health of the city, and proposes
plan for abatement of the nuisance. The
plan is to dredge out the so-called Virginia
channel, from Eastley's point to the arsenal,
and use the dredgings to reclaim the entire
area between that channel and the city front,
thus leaving one wide, deep, channel instead
of two comparatively shallow ones, with half
submerged flats between them. Col. Albert
estimates the cost of the work at two and
half million dollars, and recommends it be
betrayed by an annual appropriation of
$4,000 to 100000 per year until the i'm
provement is completed.

Chicago Still in the 1 cad for the Cham
pionship-Games Yesterday
The ball play the past week for the pen
nant resulted in no material change of posi-
tions, the Chicagos maintaining their lead
of five games over Providence, while Buffalo
and Boston are tied for third place. Chicago,
however, has some hard work, having to
play four games with the Cincinnatis and
twelve with Buffalo, which club won ma
jority of games from both the Providence and
Bostons, and if Chicago hopes to maintain
its present lead sharper play than it has
been doing of late, will have to be done.
The following is
