They all keep them. An audience of about two thousand people assembled at the Chamber of Commerce last night to witness the drill for the medals given by some ot the honorary members of the St. Louis National Guard to the best drilled squad. As the Evening Post gave a full description yesterday of the arrangements so far as known it is unnecessary to recapitulate. Everything that could be was done to secure the comfort of those present, and it is hardly too much to say that general satisfaction was given.

A good view was had of the entire performance from every part of the hall, the seating arrangement being undoubtedly the best ever made in that hall. As St. Louis audiences are proverbially late, the. hour announced for the opening drill was delayed to permit the seats furthest from the uoor to be filled, At as late as 8 :20 o'clock the crowd was pouring in at the main door, and it as full 8:30 when Company A squad drew up In front of the rostrum and presented arms to the judges. The time allotted each squad was thirty minutes, and when the last squad had retired trom the contest it was a few minutes after 10 o'clock.

While the judges retired to make up their result, Fostlewaito's Orchestra filled in the time with several choice selections, and the floor filled up with a few hundreds of those who had ior two hours been watching intently the exciting contest. A decision was reached within a few minutes, when the floor was cleared, and Captain Carpenter marched tho squads down to a position in front of the rostrum, where they were drawn up, forming three sides of a hollow square. Colonel C. E. Pearce, in behalf of tho honorary members, then advanced and after a brief eulogy of the entire command and a short history ot the medals, announced that the committee awarded the medals to Company A squad, commanded by Lieut.

Dameron. Mr. John A. was the originator of the idea of the drill, then stepped forward and pinned the sergeant's medal on Lieutenant Damcron's breast, and assisted by some of the officers of the battalion then proceeded to dec-corate the sixteen "big ingins." In behalf of his squad lieutenant Dameron called upon Colonel Squires to reply, which that gentleman did in a few words prefaced by the remark that he (Col. was not a natural orator.

He stated, however, in conclusion that he wished to see the sixteen men from each company present turn out thirty-two more by September, all as well drilled as those before; that he proposed to enter hi9 command for the best battalion prize at the t. Louis Fair, and that they were going in to win. At the conclusion of these remarks, the men of the losing squads gave three hearty cheers for A squad, which the latter repaid with once familiar "rocket" cheer of old Company after which the squads marched into the ante-room and stacked arms for the night. Concert music, interspersed with an occasional waltz and the lancers, wasEivenby the orchestra until the last of the audience had disappeared through the doorway. At the last remaining member ot the committee ot arrangements orderel the light out, bade the Janitor good morning, and in company with the business agent of the battalion, the latter with an Immense tin box containing the coin, and each with enormous rolls of bank notes in their pockets, parsed out of the Chamber of Commerce, and the drill wasover.One belated couple were in the rotunda hunting some lost trinkets.

P. R. Company A squad had to contend with a short attendance for over six weeks past; with the exception cf five times there were never six tec men out at any one time. Considering the time devoted by the different squads to the preparatory drills the boys ot Company ouht to "wear the horns." Sergeant Iiroekeiibroiiijh has accomplished wonders in less than four weeks iiiice he took the squad. One of the officers' of the Tolice Reserves regiment says that owing to the number of "dea l-heads" who obtained free admission, the ctitup has not "panned out" financially.

Several public-spirited gentlemen have, however, agreed to fill the void. Sergeant E. A. More, has shown himself to be a rarely good instructor, and in the past three months has astonished no one more than his friends in the battalion. Himself and every member of his squad deserve praise for the gallant flht they made.

Honors so closely won belong by right to every squad, and if A squad wear the medals tho vanquished are none the less esteemed As the camp of Police Reserves was intended to be one of instruction, the Colonel commanding has appointed a board of inquiry, consisting of three of the Captains, gentlemen having practical military experience, viz. Bull, Buchanan and Hates, to investigate anv charges or complaints ot breaches of discipline, ot errors, or blunders, whether committed by those high or low in rank (the commanding officer specially including himself), and to report what amends can be made. This report will be a guide to arrange future camps of instruction in such manner as to avoid the mistakes of this. When the squads were drawn up in line there were some very badly scared men in the ranks. Damcron's lips were dry and his teeth were clenched, but hi9 eye never wandered.

Bartholow's blonde face was as impassive as the Sphynx. Follett tried hard to appear unconcerned, but it was a decided failure. He prayed fast and hard, and when that medal was safely attached to his coat he wanted to break out into "Swins low, sweet Chariot." Mason's visage plainly indicated that he woult prefer to read about it. Sear's face was a study; his eyes were vacant and each individual hair of those elegaat side whiskers stood out on end Capelle couldn't make up his mind whether he cared to invest in a fresh stock of jewelry or not. But the darling sergeant, Frank Porter, "took the cake;" he made up his mind about 1 o'clock yesterday that he wanted to wear one of them, but when Col.

Pearce's preamble drew near to a close Porter went paregorically to pieces; he repeated all the short prayers he knew and tainted standing; he only recovered when John Scholten pinned the medal on hirn. A Singular Accident. Mr. John P. Hughes, who resides at N'o.

How the Scalpers Can Afford to Sell Tickets to New York for $12. Railroad men have been greatly exercised for the past few days over the "cutting," as it is termed, of the rival roads, which lias reduced the price of passenger tickets to a ridiculously small amount. The competition has been fierce and lively and has extended principally in two directions the East and South. The reduction in the lare from Texas as occasioned by the Texas Central Railroad. This road, as it is claimed it hud a right to do, chartered a train consisting of a certain number of cars to a party, ho thereupon sold tickets at a great reduction.

The International and other rival roads alleged that this was a breach of faith, and WAR TO CHE KNIFE was declared. The Central gives return tickets from Houston to St. Louis at $15, and to Chicago at $20. The International return tickets from Galveston to St. Louis are $20.

The result of this reduction has been an immense rush ot Tcxans to the North, who are eagerly vailing themselves of these low rates to visit the cities in the Mississippi Valley. Five hundred Texans arrived this morning, and if the competition lasts, a constant stream of Southern visitors may be looked tor. But the demoralization of passenger rates here that caused the greatest commotion was in the price of tickets to the East, and tor a time it was feared in railroad circles that this mutual throat-cutting would extend elsewhere. The daily developments have been watched with increasing eagerness and anxiety. Tickets have been selling for the roads leading eastwardly at ruinously LOW PRICES.

or rather no prices at all. In any ot the scalping ofllces tickets good for a ride from St. Ix)uis to Indianapolis could be bought for thirty -five cents, and rather than allow a rearular customer to depart dissatisfied they would put him through for a quarter. The tariff rate to Indianapolis is $-3. Tickets were being sold to Cincinnati tor $2, or 510 below tariff and to New York for $12, the regular fare being $22 25.

Chicago especially is sorely troubled, and fears that the travel will all be diverted from tha city should the "cutting" continue. The Garden City will be affected in this way: The rate is the same from Omaha to Chicago and St. Louts. If passengers find out that they can pay the local rate to t. ixiuis and save $10 or $12 ou through fare to New York, they will most likely give Chicago the go-by.

The responsibility tor this cutting of rates is charged by the other companies upon the Wabash line. It is alleged that tho company sold a party of school inarms eoing Last for a vacation special tickets at $27 to New York and return. The Ohio and Mississippi and Vandalia-were indignant thereat, and to be revemred commenced selling at the same rate and applied THE SOHOOLM.ARM TARIFF to everybody who wanted to go East. The abash claim that it never sold a single ticket to the but that the O. and M.

and the Atlantic and Great Western did, and even carried the tickets round and peddled them to the scalpers. The other roads say that at any rate the Wabash sold these tickets one day ahead of them, and also that their action in doing so as a clear break of agreement. ro the mutual recriminations run, and during the warfare a lively and brisk competition has gone on, the spirit of rivalry animating the employes of each road. The scalpers are now offering for sale tickets to New- York for $12. Their modus operandi is as follows: They pure base a round trip ticket tor $27.

This they sell for $30, making a profit of $3. They give the purchaser an order on another scalper iu New York who buys back the ticket at that end for $15. Deducting this $15 from the $30 leaves $12. THE AMOCNT which the traveler therefore pays for his trip. The New York seaper can afford to give $1S for the return slip because the regular price of a ticket from Gotham to St.

Louis is $23 which of course leaves them a good margin for profit. To-day, however, the hopes of cheap traveling have vanished. The rival roads have come to an agreement, and tickets are to be sold at the old rates. At noou to-day the sale of tickets at the low rates of the past few days was stopped at the offices of all the Eastearn roads. The scalpers have, however, laid in a goodly supply, and no doubt will be able for a few davs more to offer tickets at the same low rates as they have been doing.

But they will soon te exhausted and the price of railw ay tickets will be in statu quo. Southern Freight Rates. New York, June 22. The question of freight schedule for roads leading from St. Louis.

Louisville and Chicago to the South was before a large meeting of presidents, superintendents, freight agents and other officials, this morning, in the St. Nicholas Hotel.

BUTLER'S BLUFF. Mattes Says tlie Massachusetts Statesman Dogs Not Lie Him, And Accordingly He Won't Go Before the Potter Committee. The General Says He ITill Absent Himself on Any Day Xamed. The Totter Committee. June 33.

The Potter committee was called to order at 10:20 a. by acting Chairman Morrison. Mr. Butler read t. paragraph from a newspaper to the effect that Mr.

Stanley Matthew refusal to appear before the Potter committee was based on the fact that he (Mr. Butler) was hostile to Mr. Matthews, and if tlie latter should tippear before the committee, Mr. Butler would insult him. Butler said that so far from this being true, if Mr.

Matthews should now come into the room he would not know him. He had never seen the gentleman but once in his life, and had no idea that he was hostile to him. If this was Mr. Matthews' reason for not appearing he would say: If Mr. Matthews would signify any day when he would appear before the com mittee, he (Butler) would on that day absent himself from the session.

Mr. McMahon disclaimed having characterized the words of Keed at yesterday's session as wilitully false, and asserted that he had made use of no such expression, and was much surprised to find himself so reported in the morning papers. All the members ot the committee, including Mr. Keed, corroborated this disclaimer. Jenks was tnen recalled and testified that vi hen Anderson rote for the Anderson-Webber statement, witness understood he wanted to use it to make a war on the Hayes administration.

It was several mouths after the election and after the Harlan investigation. Witness met all the members of the Harlan commission in New Orleans on the 6th of July. Pitkin was the first man witness ever heard speak of the Sherman letter or refer to Sherman. That was about the 6th of June, when witness met Pitkin in New Orleans. Several letter-" from Anderson to the witness were written in 1S77 in reference to the Sherman letter, and ere read by Mr.

McMahon, but witness said he did not know tho correspondence referred to that letter tili last January. After the election Anderson claimed to have the documents, and after Anderson signed the protest he came to itness and wanted him to enter into a conspiracy with him, or Xash, declaring the election a fraud, aud promising v.it-ne-s the naval ofllce. Witness peremptorily refused to have anything to do with it. Witness don't know hat Anderson meant in his letters to witness by the expression "that letter." Anderson never offered witness one thousand dollars, bnt lie wrote witness that the document was worth one thousand dollars, and that he knew patties who would give that amount for it. Witness never authorized Mis.

Jenks to offer money to Mrs. Webber for the letter, nor knew that she ever did offer money to Mrs. Webber. Witness NEVER QUESTIONED IIISWIFB about the Sherman letter, she having denied having the letter, in the New York Times. Witness believed that statement and had no further curiosity about it.

Witness never asked his wile if she knew here the letter was in consequence of the letters from Kellogg or to aid him in some way. Witness knew that correspondence passed between himself and wife and Anderson and Kellogg in relation to some letter or documents. It was supposed that his wife knew something about it, but he did not know this. His wife first wrote to Kellogg, and not he to her. Mrs.

Jenks, ife of the previous itness, was then called and sworn. She remembered the document. Anderson said ho wanted it. This was last January. He called it the Sherman letter and Anderson wrote a letter asking for a document some dead beats who claimed to want a fair count for Louisiana had given him.

Hewitt Handles IVattersnn. NEW York, June 22. The Sun this morning prints a very spirited reply by lion. A. S.

Hewitt to the somewhat violent denunciation to which Hon. Henry Watterson yesterday gave utterance. Hewitt says: Ever since I refused to listen to his Insane and ridiculous proposition to call out 100,000 men in order to put Tilden in the White House, he has never ceased to misrepresent my declarations, purposes and actions, with a malignity which he scarcely seeks to disguise. He has persistently accused me of suppressing tele grams from Tilden in regard to the electoral commission, whereas the fact is I never received from Tilden a telegram on that or any other subject. After the meeting of Congress in 1S76.

Tilden assured me that he never sent any telegram to me, so that Watterson can not even Justify his association by the poor excuse that it may have miscarried. The Lincoln Assassination.
