viii Be Commuted.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The arguments by
the attorneys of Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias
Maxwell, before Gov. Morehouse, at Jeffer-
son City, began this morning, ana the pro-
ceedings continued all day, and will, in all
likelihood, consume much of tomorrow.
Most OF to-day was spent in the presenting
and reading Of petitions, letters, appeals,
etc, received by the attorneys, asking or
recommending clemency on the part of the
governor.
WHO THE PETITIONERS ARE.
These came from nearly all classes OF per-
sons, but chiefly from people who move in
the best circles of society, embracing much
of the legal talent of the state, prominent
clergymen, business men in all branches of
trade, state and county officials, judges OF
the courts, and, in fact, men in every walk
and vocation of life.
SIX JURORS RELENT.
Six Of the jurors recommend commuta-
tion Of the sentence to imprisonment for
life, and the ratio Of those who urge elem
ency on the part of the governor are ten to
one of those who advise non-interference
There is growing feeling here that the
governor will commute the sentence, but no
intimation of that kind has come from
official quarters

FREIGHT FIGHTS.
The Warning Roads at Chicago Still
Lowering Rates.


CHICAGO, July 10-Twenty days devel-
opments IN the east-bound freight war were
a repetition of the old story. The western
connections of the Erie road were author
lied to again make n dlfferential rate on
dressed beef, and accordingly there was
break to IL cents on that article to New
York, and % cents to Boston. The Wander
bilt and Pennsylvania lines followed suit
little later, making corresponding rate
of 10 cents to Philadelphia and cents to
Baltimore.
THE CUTTING ON CATTLE.
The rate on cattle was further reduced to
611 cents to New York and all points except
Boston, the rate to the latter point being
1l16 cents. The Baltimore and Ohio road
which is fighting for difPerentia on this
business, put into effect rnte of 3l5 cents
per 100 on cattle from Chicago to Baltimore,
and the Pennsylvania railroad adopted the
same rate. Neither the Grand Trunk nor
Chicago and Atlantic roads have met the
reductions of the other roads in live stock
rates, and the Grand Trunk is now main
tanning a 2616 cent rate on dressed beef
pending it's proposed advance to 30 cents
next Monday.

Rather Embarrassing.

MANY amusing incidents are met
with BY clergyman in the perform
ance of rites matrimonial said a
reverend gentleman to St. Louis
Globe writer ut was not long since
was called to officlate at a wedding
which, was impromptu The invited
groomsman failed to appear, and a
neighbor was asked to assist, as the
couple, both having been married,
were anxious to get out of town and
avoid a chariyari. The emergency
groomsman was yerdant, and grew so
embarrassed that he completely upset
the nerves of the bridesmaid. She had
two tasks on her mind lone, to ar
range her hustle, the other, to fasten a
bouquet to the groomsman's lapel. She
got these mixed in her mind, and
pinned the bouquet first on her hustle
and then tore il impatiently of and
pinned it to his coat-tail. They upset
half the furniture, and tripped the bride
while adiourning to the parlor. A
lunch had been provided on n tray
close at hand, and when | asked for
the ring the assistant promptly handed
me a biscuit. Seeing his mistake, for
want of better place, he awkwardly
put the muffin in the groom's pocket,
took the ring from his mouth, and
handed it to the bride, at the same
time pouring a glass of wine from the
bottle at hand into a dusty piece of
lovely Scvres china. Perspiration stood
out in great beads on his forehead,
and. as soon as the ceremony was per-
formed, he looked at the envelope in
his hand containing my fee, broke the
seal. saw the money, and, | guess,
thinking either that he had earned it
or that it was intended for him, put it
in his pocket, handed me the empty
envelope, and fed. The couple missed
the train by the delay, and when the
noise of dozens Of inharmonious instru-
ments broke the happy couples slum-
bers that night, | believe the groom
could almost have shot the groomsman.

Bodies Buried at Sea.

who die on ocean steamships mt sea

officer.
ut depends upon circumstances
whether it is advisable TO bury per-
son al sea who dies on shipboard," was
the reply IF the vessel is within a
day or two of the cud OF the voyage,
there is no good reason for not bring
ing the body into port, although a
superstition prevails among sailors
that if dead body is kept on board it
means the inevitable destruction of
the vessel And it is often The case
that when u body is shipped on board
Il vessel to cross the ocean the fact is
kept from the knowledge Of the sail
ors
1T is commended by some that the
burial of body at sea is not attended
with the solemn ceremony thatit ought
TO be?"
"A burial at sea casts gloom over
the whole ship, and it is natural for
the officers of vessel to avoid osten-
tation and display. All mariners are
firm in their conviction that when a
person dies at sea. unless within few
hours run to port, the body should be
given up to the deep. AS rule, yes
