WHITE LEAD AND OIL.

Works Badly Injured by Fire at St. Louis
Two Men Fatally Injured.
ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The loss by the burn
ing of the Collier white lead and oil works
last night seems to have been largely overesti-
mated, and the statement of Thos. Richson,
president of the company, was evidently in
tended as the value Of the company's entire
property at the locality of the fire and not
simply that part actually destroyed.
The loss is now placed by competent
authority to be from $120, 900 to $4,000. In
connection with the manufacturing of white
and red lead, the company operated the largest
castor ell factory in the country, and held
nearly one-half the oil in the country. They
say they will not be able to manufacture oil
again for several months, but they have
large stock IN the hands Of agents at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other places,
upon which they can draw. The
works will be reconstructed as rapidly as
possible. Two fatal casualties resulted
from the fire. One was fracturing of the
skull of Michael Ansberger, who was run
over at the corner of Eighth and Walnut, by
a runaway team that had been detached from
one of the fire engines. The man was taken
to the hospital and died during the night.
The other was evidently from heart disease
of Louis Cohen, connected with
the Westliche Post newspaper, who
was overcome while running to
the fire. He was taken to the city dispensary
and died while being examined by physicians.

BIBLE REVISION.

His Work.

One of the Revisers Speaks in Defense OF
His Work.
PITTsBURG, May 29.-Dr. Phillip Schoff,
chairman of the American section of the
bible revision committee, addressed large
audience here to-day on the revised testament.
After briefly reviewing the different transla-
lations made from time to time, the speaker
said that for forty years there had been grow
ing demand for new translation. The reasons
for such revision are two-frst changes in the
language, and second, progress in biblical
scholarship. Every living language changes
from time to time. Certain words have
changed their meaning to the direct opposite
formerly expressed, such as prevert used In
the sense of precede, let for hinder, carriages
forthwith. for IassaFhs The most important mp rea- ca
sons, however, is the growth OF
knowledge. The forty-seven men who made
the King James translation, had none of them
been in Palestine, and knew nothing OF bibli-
cal geography. They were thus liable to
make mistakes, and did make many. Since
Egypt has given up her treasures, Servia ex-
piored, Palestine traversed, Babylon and Min
evah have risen up to testify to the truth OF
the bible, and lent their manuscripts
and Inscriptions to the explanation OF
some passages. Older manuscripts, since dis
covered, have been used in the present revis-
ion, and many actual errors rectified. To
s'strain at gnat" has been changed to "strain
out gnat," and great many such typograph-
ical errors corrected, Italicized passages,
where they were unnecessary and weakening
to the true sense, have been discarded.

STAR ROUTE EXPOSURES.
The Facts Presented Through the Press
Not the Government Case.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The Washington cor
respondent who has prepared for publication
in the Times the histories of certain tStar
Routes" and descriptions of "Star Service''
methods, furnishes another installment The
correspondent explains he is not stating the
governments case. His stories, he says,
rest upon the records obtained in the books of
the department, which have been carefully
examined, and upon the statements OF private
persons residing in Washington and elsewhere
cumstances. These records and these
statements may play their part in
legal proceedings which will take place, but
they are not the governments case. The evil
dence gathered for use in the courts is diff
ferent In it's nature from that which appears
in these histories, although it may be supple
mented by facts contained in them.
Facts and circumstances are presented in
these histories which can be satisfactorily
explained only upon the hypothesis of bribery
and collusion between contractors and gov
ernment officers. The governments case
will, it is believed, contain unmistakatle evil
dence that such crimes were committed. This
evidence, continually accumulating, is with
held from the public until the time
shall come for its effective use. De-
scriptions of transactions of the contract
bureau, as reVealeu ny -DookS anu papers III
daily use in the department, may convince the
public that millions of dollars have been
stolen and given to favorites, and that guilty
persons ought to be in the penitentiary. These
recorded facts may not be sufficient,
however, to insure conviction in
court. There may be missing some
links, which under the laws of evidence Would
be necessary for successful prosecution. These
links the officers of the government will un-
dertake to supply in the governments case.
1t may be that correspondents and
others can occasionally furnish
some material out of which to
forge these links, but 1t should be understood
that the government gives no one, except
officers of the law, the evidence upon which
it relies for conviction.

GAMRETTA


PARIS, May SO.-Gambetta, speaking at a
banquet at Cahors, tonight, condemned the
attempt to create antagonism between himself
and President Grevy, whom he highly eulo-
gized. Abiding to the constitution he ad-
mitted that it was not perfect and it would
have to be perfected in democratic sense, but
he warned them against doing this hastily. He
cited the precautions taken by the Americans
in this respect, and urged the necessity OF
waiting until all institutions had, astronomi-
cally speaking, completed their revolutions:
Attempts to remodel the constitution would
shake their foundations.
CAHoRs, May 30.-Gambetta unveiled mon
ument to the memory of men of the depart
ment of Lot, killed in the war of 10. In ad-
dressing an immense crowd he said he was
not teacher of the policy of aggression, ad-
venture or conquest. Nothing touching the
question of peace or war can be decided ex-
cept by the will of the people: Republicans

enthusiastic cheers.

thirty-eight head, the get of Virgil, Glenelg,

Eighteen colts were sold for SIT, ,O5O, the aver
age price per head being full s947. Of these
eighteen there were seven by Glenelg, and they
brought S9,240; four by Monarchist sold for
$1,000; two by Virgil went for $4,000; two,
representing the great Ten Brock, passed
under the hammer aggregating only $50; and,
lastly, Bay Wood and King Lear declined to
s1OO each. The average on the fillies was a
fraction over S4O0, the full amount for the
twenty head of these disposed of being $S,025.
1t appears that three OF the twenty in question
were by Glenelg and they sold for 1895. The
seven by Virgil sold for $3.50, and the ten by
Monarchist for S,470. Thus we have s25, ,075
