A TIE AT WHIST.
Milwaukee and the Capitols I'm
able to Decide.

NEW YORK. July 23.-The first an
nual congress of the American League
of Whist clubs concluded its business
tonight. Nearly all of the delegates
left for their homes early in the
evening. The match between the
Capitol Whist club. of Washington, and
the Milwaukee Whist club resulted in a
tie. These two clubs were the final
contestants for the Hamilton trophy
Fourteen clubs had entered the compe-
tition, but as each club lost two
games it was obliged to drop out
under the rules, and the con-
test finally fell to the Capitol and
Milwaukee clubs. The clubs started to
play at noon, twenty-four hands. This
game resulted in tie. Then they re-
sumed play with sixteen hands. They
tied again. After a short recess they
again played eight hands and the Capt.
tOl club won by one point. This, how
ever, did not make the Capitol club
winner of the trophy. as the Capitol
club had lost one game in the prelimi-
nary play.
The Milwaukee's loss of one game to
the Capitol club left these two clubs
with each one lost game. and conse-
Quently tie. The players were tired
out and it was finally agreed to abandon
the contest and leave the disposition of
the trophy to the executive committee
for this year. The executive committee
will probably decide 10 allow each club
to hold the trophy for six months, and
when the next congress is held at Chi
cago next year contest for the final
possession OF the trophy will be held.

1882, at the city of Lyons. In early life
he exhibited marked traits of deep
piety, and his parents sent him to one
of the noted French seminarieS, where
he began his training for the priesthood.
Here he remained until 1854, when
along with other Jealous souls he re-
Sponded to call from the new world,
an entreaty of Bishop Loras, of Du-
buQue, that more priests were needed
in the vast Mississippi region. Others
who set out for America at this same
time were the sainted Ravoux. now a
mOnSignOr at the cathedral; Fathers
Oster, Robert. Sommereisen and Keller.
Fathers Caillet and Oster met at Paris
and came on together, Dec. Is, 1856.
Bishop Cretin, of happy memory. babe
adieu to his native France and set out
for America at the urgent solicitation of
Father Ravoux.
After his arrival here Father CaiIet
pursued his studies with the Lazarists
at Lazarin, Mo. He was ordained a
priest in 1857 by Bishop Smith, of Du-
buque, and celebrated his first mass on
the feast of the Assumption. After his
ordination he did some missionary work
at Wabasha, and was later attached to
the cathedral in the capacity OF pastor.
From the very beginning he took deep
interest in the education of Catholic
youth, and through his efforts several
schools were established. He was also
mainly instrumental in inaugurating a
movement looking towards the care of
the orphans, although Father Ledon
had also taken hand in this great
charitable work. Father Caillet's name
is household name among Catholics
and Professionals alike in st. Paul, who
have come to love and revere him on ac-
count of his simplicity of character.
deep fervor and Christian pety. Modest
and unassuming in all he does, he wins
his way to the hearts of all by his genial
personality. As a speaker he uses lan=
guage the most simple. and therein lies
the charm of his utteranceS. He makes
no attempt at oratorical display, but
goes direct to the meat of his subject.
Father Oster.
Like Father Caillet, Father Oster, too,
was born in France, in the city of Stras-
bourg. He attended the seminary at
that place, and ember week of advent,
1858, he received minor orders from
Bishop Roess. Shortly afterwards, at
the solicitation of Father Ravoux, with
six others, four Of whom were from
Alsace and two from Lyons. he EN-
barked for America, coming directly to
st. Paul. Of these seven, but three are

ert, Keller and Oster. Here Father
Oster completed his studies. from time
to time going on missions with Bishop
Cretin. In June, 1855, he was ordained
subdeacon; in July, 1856. deacon; in
December. 1856, priest. Through the
bishops illness he nursed and cared for
him, and after his death was made sec
rotary of the diocese, Father Ravoux
becoming administrator. In March,

E. s. Warner offered a resolution,
thanking the voters for their support
of the club candidate, and that the or
ganiZation be perpetuated, subject to
the call Of the chairman, under the
name of the Ramsey County Republican
cluD. This resolution was agreed to by
a unanimous vote.
Harry Griswold moved that commit
tee of five delegates be named to pre-
sent to the county convention the name
of candidate for chairman in the in
terest of McGili. At the suggestion of
Mr.. Haniey this motion was amended to
a call for caucus of the McGill dele
gates at 9 O'clock Monday morning at
Market hall, and the proposition as
amended was carried.
AT the suggestion of Gen. Flower
every man in the house arose. and with
waving hats gave three hearty cheers
for McGill. The meeting was then de-
clared over.
Asked as to his claims in the state,
Gen. Flower stated that he expected a
number of McGill supporters from
counties outside of Ramsey, but he did
not care to state their strength. Nelson
had secured instructions wine rever pos

ceptions."
The Love Between Her and
Freda Ward Was brain

by Electric Shock--Dark
Work Behind 1t.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 23.-On court
being called to order this morning in the
Alice Mitchell case, Miss Howard re-
sumed the stand and Gen. Peters closed
his crOSS-eXamiEation. Only one QueS-
ton was propounded, and elected the
reply that Alice had told her she loved
Harry BeIger.
After unlmportant evidence by Rob
ert Mitchell and others, DR.. F. l.. Sim,
a medical expert and recognized au-
thority Of this city, was put On the
stand. He testified that he had made
specially OF diseases of the brain and
nervous system, and had examined into
Alice Mitchell'S mental condition few
days after the homicide. He said
that when he alluded to the re-
lations between herself and Freda
Ward Alice broke down i'll sobs and
tears. The impression made on wit
ness mind by the examination was that
defendant had undergone a marked
pathological change, and was not re-
spOnsible for her actions. She made
her relations with Freda very clear to
me. 1t was that there was mutual
love between them. as between male
and female. Such cases are rare, but
are on record, and are recognized by the
profession. lnterrogated as to his Opin-
ion of Miss Mitchell's mental condition,
he replied that she was
Undoubtedly Insane
and that her form of mania was rarely
recovered from. He further said that
victims of physical abuse or excessive
Indulgence are always afflicted with
melaucholia. seek SecluSion, lose pride
and become indifferent TO all society.
PlatOn;c love, or brain love, is the love
that rules the world, and sexual indulg-
ence is a secondary consideration. He
believed the love between these two
girls was brain love, as he saw no evil
dence of sexual depravty.
Continuing, witness expressed the
opinion that the insanity of defendant
was hereditary. In speaking of the
thwarting Of the plans of such an insane
victim Of sectual perversIOn and the
separation from her Of the object of her
affection, the witness explained that III
sane Jealousy would enSue and
the illusion that she must remove the
object Of her love become imperative in
her. Witness opinion was that de-
fendants face did not show the intelli-
gerCe to be expected i'll girl of ner
age. There was nothing peculiar in the
eye. He was convinced she was i'll
sane from the examination. He had no
difficulty in classifying her form of
mania. He placed her i'll the class of
imperative conceptions"
When questioned by Judge Dubose as
to whether or not he had made Il rhysi-
cal examination of Miss Mitchell. his
answer was that he had only talked
with her and examined her mental con-
dition. Court then adjourned until
Monday. 1888

clan Of Memphis for forty years. He
holds chair in the medical college and

and carried the fifty votes to the polls
and deposited them in favor of the OPP
position delegates.
Maj. Libbey spoke for the Fourth
ward. He stated that there was 10 con-
test in this ward. When asked by Gen.
Flower what he claimed he replied,
The whole fifteen delegates" Gen.
Flower did not like to swallow that
statement, and so intimated. Maj.
Libbey then qualified his statement to
''most of the delegates" Being abjured
by Gen. Flower to give figures, and not
to be afraid 10 speak out, he dropped
another cat and confidently asserted
that he claimed ten out of the fifteen
delegates for McGill.
George \. Nash said that the Fifth
ward cast 229 votes. but owing to the
trickery OF some of his best friends he
could only report five delegates for
opposition. He declared with sarcasm
that lie thanked his friends for their
trickery. and will remember them III
the future.
d.. Hawkins reported contest in the
Sixth ward. There had been a tie vote
Oh five candidates, and lots were cast,
which resulted in six McGill delegates
and four Ives delegates. Mr.. Gross also
spoke for the ward, and said that they
mad q considerable scrap. lie SAID
that NJ. j. Bell, who is candidate for
register of deeds, fought the McGill
men and that he was responsible for a
divided delegation in that ward
Gen. Flower spoke for the Seventh
ward and said that after contest the
delegation was elected favorable to
McGil by vote of 2S5 to 119.
In the Eighth ward there was mixed
ticket, but the McGill men claimed the
ward.
Gen. Howard reported that the Ninth
ward is solid for McGilI. Another gen.
tieman said that there was some OppO-
sjtion from the Independents. but the
delegation is solid for McGill. Some
one objected to the word "Independent"
and the imputaiion was retracted.
The report from the Tenth ward was
to the effect that 1t was solid for McGill.
This statement was made after Gen.
Flower had asked as to how the home
ward and their candidate stood.
Gen. Thomas stated that ne under
stood that the Eleventh ward went
against them. Gen. Flower remarked:
Eyes. l think the Eleventh is solid
against U.s." Col. Shandrow said: I'VE
had 12T votes pledged for McGill in the
Eleventh ward, bnt we only got 81, and
there were 139 against u.s."
The reports of the several wards were
summarized by the secretary with the
following result.

FIRE AT BOILING BROOK.
An Electrical Storm Starts a Con.
hagration.

WESTMINSTER, Md, July ga dis
astrous confagration at the racing stock
farm of r. Wyndham Walden. Boiling
Brook, near Middleburg, was one
of the results of the great cleo
trical storm that passed over this
country last night. Lightning struck
the principal stable on the place and
the structure was soon in flames. The
wind swept fire through the stables,
and all efforts to extinguish it were I'M
valling. Fourteen colts and FLIES of
great value persisted in the flames.
There were forty-one animals in the
burned buildings, twenty-seven of
which were rescued. Among these
were the stallion Galore, valued at $780,
900. The loss of the buildings and con-
tents, other than horses. is $4,000 to
$4,000. The horses were uninsured.
They were valuable animals, but in the
absence of Mr.. Walden and exact esti-
mate could not be obtain. His son,
Robert Walden. says that 100000 would
not have purchased them.
