She suggested that the class

one. The chairs were purchas-
ed but as a finishing touch, last
Thursday they fastened to the
back of the center chair solid
silver plate beautifully engrav-

Quincy

The Quincy Jobbers, Manu-
facturers and Bankers, eighty
strong struck the city yester-
day morning. A finer looking
body of gentlemen would be
hard to find and they travelled
in style, not like the st. Louis
people whose train looked like
an old emmigrant train on the
U. P. Il. r. in the seventies.
They were glad to see the mer.
chants and the merchants were
glad to see them. 1t was the
first visit to the Queen of the
Prairies for many of them and
they We're surprised to see the
number of up-to-date business
houses and solid streets. The
Quincy press was represented
by the pleasant, 'affible and
congenial Maj. Linton, of the
Herald; H. A. Fry, OF the Jour-
nal and the Germaina, and the
Whig were also represented.
They were pleased to be here
and we were pleased to have
them with us even for 2 short
while.
The prince of good fellows
and one of the best railroad men
in the valley, Supt. P. H. Houl-
ahan was with them and with
him he carried his pleasant
smile and the generous hand
shake that comes impulsively
from the heart.
E. H. Bradford, Freight Agt.
accompanied the party. He is
one of the wide-awake tuu-lov-
ing jolly, but keen business men
that one likes to meet.
Howard Elting. Gen. Agt.
was also with the party. His
business seemed to be to shake
hands with the boys, say a
pleasing word and to make
friends right and left, Which he
did.
The Gardner Band thought it
was in Old Missouri so played
Dixie, we'll it went with the
Cake Walk, aud Hot Time.
Taken all in all the trip will
have a tendency to bind the
ties of business and sociability
between the Queen of the Prai-
ries and the Gem City all the
closer.

Bloody Battle.

Washington, July 1.-THE
war department has made an
estimate of the destructiveness
of the action at Tien Tsin based
on the Associated Press dis
patch that 25 per cent of the
Americans were hit. The COM
parison is with the losses around
Santiago, viz:
Killed, 243, or 1.33 per cent;
wounded, l, ,445, or 7.93 per cent;
total killed and wounded, l..
688, or 9.26 per cent.
AS against this percentage of
9.26 at Santiago, comes the
amazing % percentage at Tien
Tsin. which, while unofficial, is
given on the authority of the
surgeon of the Ninth infan try.
Special news from Tien- -Tsin
via Shanghai says: No quarter
is given or asked on either side.
Intellectual attempts have been
made to conceal the horrible
fact that Admiral Seymour was
compelled to shoot his own
wounded during the disastrous
retreat Of the Pekin relief expe-
dition. All OF the wounded who
fell into the hands of the Chi
nese were tortured, hence Sey-
mours order to shoot his own
men who were wounded for
they could not be carried away.
