also useless. but that nobody knew where Kew

torical monuments in which consid-
cradle interest was centered Alter

in the city last night from indianapolis. He
said that his trip was merely for the purpose
of holding a conference with the Cincinnati
directors on the matter of preliminary arrange
ments, such as stands, privileges, ground, EN-
plryes, etc. He expressed himself as highly
pleased with the energetic manner in which
affairs are being shaped up for the opening of

of President Brush now is the matter of i'll
ling two weak spots in the team. A shortstop

NEW ORLEANS. April 6.-Despite the efforts
of the people of Gretna. the s-Mississippi
suburb of New Orleans and the county seat of
jefferson Parish, more than two-thirds OF the
town is now under water, in consequence
of the Ames crevasse. AS soon as that
crevasse occurred the Gretna people, seeing
the danger TO their town, set to work to build a
levee at the rear to keep out the water, and
nearly the entire population turned out to
work on it. The water, however, rose faster
than expected, and the new levee, being hardly
constructed, was weak and cayed badly. and
yesterday gave way in several places.
The probabilities are that all Gretna will be
flooded within the next ten days. The damage
will be very great as the numerous vegetable
and stock farms there will suffer.

Mark Baldwin, the baseball pitcher of Pitts

second time was acquitted To-day Baldwin
was by Won der Abe charged with conspiracy
before the Court of Criminal Correction and
the charge was nolle pressed.
This ends the troubles of Baldwin here. and
he has been outrageously dealt with. There
was never the semblance of a case against him,
and the public of ST. Louis are of opinion that
an outrage has been committed against a
stranger. Had he been citizen no such liber-
ties would have been taken. Baldwin has a
good claim for damages. There is nothing
whatever to prove that he conspired against
anybody's interests in st. Louis.

charged by the Grand Master.


GALEsBURG, April 6.-S. E. Wilkinson,
Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainnen, has discharged Charles I, Salisbury,
John [. Glenn, Charles w. Flanders, John
O'Rourlle and r. S. Bodnan, Grand Trustees
of the Brotherhood. In a circular issued to the
lodges, the Grand Master gives as his reasons
for this action that the Grand Trustees failed
to make proper examination of the books of
the Grand Secretary and Treasurer, and
of the editor Of the IfdinmenS' Journal,
and to place the editor under bonds,
that the Grand Trustees usurped authority in
issuing a cIrcuao containing untrue state
mentS, and in over ruling the action of the
Salisbury, of this city. one of the trustees, de-
nies the authority of the Grand Master to dis
charge them, as they were elected by the
Brotherhood. and says that they are still serv-
ing. Regardless of the order it is thought that
the action will stir up great content tion in the
brotherhood.

The Cardiff Giant Recalled.

One of the men, who made a for
tune out of the Cardiff giant humbug
is reported dead in this city, says the
Troy Daily Press. Nearly twenty
years have passed since the public AT
large, as we'll as many of the mos
distinguished SCIENTISTS. were duped
by this monumental fraud. The Car.
diff giant idea was conceived in the
brain of George Hull, a tObacconist of
Binghamton. He secured q large
gypsum slab in Iowa and had is cut
into the form of gigantic man by an
italian stOnecutter in Chicago. This
stonecutter. by the way, subsequent
ly removed to Troy and engaged in
business as maker Of statues. 1
think have heard that examples of
his work are to be found In your city
to this day. To simulate the appear
ence of age Hull had the stone mans
figure rubbed with sand and water,
then bathed in writing fluid and also
in sulphuric acid. The image was
then boxed, taken secretly to the
vicinity of Cardiff. near Syracuse,
and privately buried at q spot where
it was conveniently found q year
later and heralded as the most mar.
velous discovery of archaeological his
tOry-a petrified specimen of pre-
historic man Is as alledged and
excited most profound interest among
all sorts of people. Eminent men of
science examined the stone image,
and some of them gravely certified to
their belief that 1t actually was the
body OF being who had lived thous-
ands of years before any of the pre-.
sent race of men were born. The
Cardiff gi mt was placed IN exhIb-
ltiou In the great cities, and multi
tudes fiocked to get q sight of the
humbug. Intelligent persons in all
sections of the country were hoaxed.
Some who refused to credit the sup
position that it was the body of q
prehistoric times believed that 1T
was a very ancient statue. The
fraud was at length exposed, and
the scientists and extra Intelligent
men who had been deceived and had
afterwards assisted To deceive others
were advertised in very ridiculous
light. Hull sold out his interest In
the image to a party of men, who
took il across the ocean and endeav-
Ored to interest our transatlantic
cousins in the giant The speculation
aid not succeed, although the stone
was advertised as the body of Finn
Maconi, the the prehistoric Irish
giant, and the claim made that it
had been discovered In the Giants
Causeway Ia Ireland. Hull made
another effort in the same line. He
produced smaller figure made of q
composition of ground stone, pull
verified bones, clay, plaster, blood
and dried eggs. The composition,
after being baked in a kiln, was ad-
vertised as "the Colorado stone man,
Colorado then being the wonder
state of the Union. Hull and his
associates were disappointed in their
hopes of great gains, for the public
would not be deluded by this second
fraud.
