Auxil lary to the Board of Missions (Protestant Episcopal) was held at Christ Church yesterday afternoon. and was largely participat ed in by the ladles connected with the St. Louis congregations, with a fair representation from other parts of the diocese. Services were held in the forenoon, In which Bishop Robertson, Drs.

Schuyler, Berkley, Ingraham, Locke, Messrs. Betts, took part, Dr. Locke delivering an interesting sermon. The Auxiliary Board was called to order in the afternoon by Dr. Schuyler, who stated in a brief way its general objects.

Rev. Benj. E. Reed followed with some general remarks, and was followed in turn by Rev. Mr.

Githens, of Sedalia, who, after extolling the great good accomplished in the distribution of missionary goods said that he had but one request to make of the ladies. He had a lady friend, a devoted, pious and good woman, who was engaged to be married, but who was too poon to get her wedding outfit. He said he was a bachelor and did not know how to proceed or he would make the purchase himself, but that he would leave the whole matter with the ladies who understood the situation. Some one intimated that the reverend gentleman was one of the interested parties, but he stoutly denied the accusation. The board then went Into executive session, all persons of the other sex being requested to retire.

Mrs. Clinton Locke, of Chicago, then addressed the board upon the subject of how the Chicago board managed things, with some general hints and suggestions. Miss Mary H. Triplett, the Secretary, sub. mitted her annual report, giving an interestlug detalled account of the work of the board, from which it appeared that the sum of 284 85 had been collected.

An Assault That Delayed the Mail. Thomas Le Master was arrested yesterday and taken before Commissioner Morgan on a charge of obstructing the mails.

Le Master 1s a conductor on the Iron Mountain between the city and Carondelet. On the 15th he had a dispute with Frank W. Cable, the messenger employed by the contractor to take the mail from the Post Office to Station in Ca rondelet, about the latter's fare. This culminated, it is alleged by Cable, in an attack on him by Le Master, who defaced his (Cable's) facade with a ticket punch. This defacement and the pain and inconvenience caused a delay of fifteen minutes in the conveyance of the mail to the post station.

Le Master was arrested by a policeman and prosecuted for the assault, but the present prosecution is more serious. The examination was continued until Monday.

Louis Lumbermen. The St. Louis lumbermen, contrary to the expectations of the Hannibal strikers, are at work, and say they are satisfled with their work and their wages. They number about 2,000, and constitute no small factor among the working classes in the eity. Their work is to remove lumber from ratts to the shore, which is almost a trade in itself.

THE CITY HALL. SEWER CONTRACTS. Proposals were opened yesterday at the meeting of the Board of Public Improvements for the annual repairing and reconstruction of sewers.

The lowest bidder for reconstruction and repairing was J. C. Murphy, for and cut for the stone necessary work, iron Gottleib work Eyesman, Montur: ray-Judge Iron Works, $700. The contracts will be awarded Monday. COPYING THE POLL-BOOKS.

The representatives of Mr. Thomas appeared at Mr. Hoblitzelle's office yesterday morning and asked to look at the -books, Mr. Hoblitzelle turned over the books and the two men went to work taking from the poll- books the names of those persons marked voted and putting them on the committee poll-books. The two men are under the supervision either of Mr.

Hoblitzelle or his clerk during the day. The investigation will go on day and to-morrow. THE UHRIG'S CAVE BILL KILLED. The Council Committee on Public Improvements held a meeting yesterday afternoon and approved number of small contracts. The committee will not report the bill to divide the Uhrig's Cave block to allow the sale of beer at the Cave, and will not report either of the ordinances providing for renting the space beneath the Twelfth street bridge.

The reason the committee shelves these bills is that the bridge bills are Illegal and the Uhrig's Cave bill Is a device to evade the law. HEAVY STREET-PAVING CONTRACTS. The Board of Public Improvements yesterday awarded twelve contracts for granite reconstruction, ten 'of which went to the Syenite Granite Company, at a total of 989. The other two contracts were taken by William Skrainka and Schneider Wright. The total cost of the reconstruction to be done is $173,139 40.

Eight contracts for asphalt reconstruction in the western part of the city were awarded to the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, at a total of $77,568 60. The total cost of the work for which contracts were awarded is $250,708. THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON GAS. After the Council had adjourned last evening, President Allen called together the special committee of thirteen to consider the bill authorizing the sale of the gas franchise to the highest bidder. Mr.

Devoy moved to strike out the provision authorizing the city purchase the at the expiration of twenty years after the granting of the franchise. He sald the city could not afford to own a gas company. It would be the medium of. corruption and detrimental to the he public interest. Mr.

Haines said that Mr. Devoy was evidently acting under the assumption that the Republicans would get in power soon. There was no danger of such an event. The motion was not agreed to. Some further discussion followed, when the committee adjourned without accomplishing anything.

PAY- DAY PICTURES. Pay-day is a lively day at the City Hall. Once a month all the employes of the different departments gravitate to the little window of the Treasurer's office and draw their stipend great or small, as the case may be. The dandified clerk of a department may not deign to speak to the common laborer the other twenty-nine days of the month, but pay-day they hustle and rub against each other in the long line of tax-eaters. All the nationalities are represented in the procession that climbs up the stairs and winds along through the corridors.

The signing of the pay-roll is an interesting scene to witness. The laborer wrestling with his pen like a child with a crowbar, sticking out his tongue the while, Is in strong contrast to the young, delicate fellows, who dash off their names. with a flourish. After the money is paid out the recipients file out of the door, at which are seated two Sisters, and few there are who pass them without dropping some change into their laps. In the hallway the men gather in groups, and the little loans made during the month are all squared up and an adjourument taken for refreshments.

THE MEAT- BILL. The Council Sanitary Committee met yesterday afternoon and had under consideration the meat inspection bill referred back to the committee at the last meeting of the Couneil. In order to meet all the requirements of the case Mr. Haines prepared several new sections, containing new features. One of the amendments giyes the Inspectors authority to enter any place where Ash, game, poultry or meat may be sold, and, if they And it tainted or unwholesome, to order it disposed of for other purposes than for food; persons refusing to comply with the orders of the Inspectors to be deemed guilty.

of a misdemeanor, punishable, on conviction, by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or by Imprisonment for not less than thirty days or more than twelve months. A similar punishment shall be meted out to those parties who offer for sale desensed meat, or meat from cattle that have been sick. Parties found guilty of offense against the law shall have their names conspicuously posted for not -less than three days in at least two German and two English papers. The amendments were adopted. THE CABLE ROAD PROJECT.

The ordinance to extend the time within which the cable railroad company shall complete its works was taken up yesterday after. noon by the House Committee on Railroads. The same gold crowd which have been opposing the road for the last year, the representatives of competing horse railroads and the chronic kickers, were on hand to object to the ordinance, while the company asking the franchise was well represented also. Clerk Broadwell read the bill at length, whereupon the Chairman decided that the discussion of the bill should be confined to the extension of the time and to the exclusion of the merits of the original bill. Lawyers W.

O. Jones and Louis Gottschalk appeared representing the objectors generally, and F. G. Niedringhaus in particular. Judge H.

D. Laughlin first appeared before the committee, stating the history of the cable project. He said that the projectors had said that they contemplated building the road in time for the opening of the Exposition. Circumstances had prevented their doing so. They had examined all the systems of cable roads and adopted the Boyer system.

Fearing they might have made a mistake they referred the matter to the Wilson Brothers, Chief Engineers of the Pennsylvania system, and they also indorsed the system. This conclusion was not reached until late in the fall. The winter followed and stopped the building of the stables. It was near the 1st of March before the weather would permit work on the building. In the meantime it was decided that the iron yokes used to give durability to the work, to support the pulleys on which the cable runs, to bear the pressure on the conduit from the outside, were not good.

The difficulty was to get a machine to bend sixty-pound rails in the manner desired. The company had had the ma chine built at Philadelphia and sent to New Albany but it was broken in the operations. Another was built with similar results. The Pullmans built another machine for them. The machine has been tested since and it was found that it worked well and the yokes could be made at the rate of twelve an hour.

The time granted was consumed in these operations. The company did not believe that there would be any opposition to an extension of time. Some men contended that a cable road could not be built in St. Louis because of the peculiar soil, but nevertheless these projectors of the road are willing tO bulld a road on a route that nobody would adopt; willing to put up a forfelt. Unless the time was extended there only remained one thing for the cable people to do, and that was to settle up bills and get out.

St. Louis should have all the conveniences every other town has and the town should be extended ten miles west if it wants to go that way. The cable people had expended $100,000 in cash on the road, $30,000 was expended on conduits ready to be shipped here, the houses were built and the engines were now put in to dry the cables. They were ready to- day to put $1,000,000 Into the work. Mr.

F. G. Niedringhaus followed Judge Laughiin. He held that it was not right to deface the city in the interest of private corporations. He understood that the company had forfeited its franchise.

He made an appeal against the ordinance on the ground that it would depopulate the town of children. Judge Gottschalk argued at length against the extension of the time and said that the city should affix some conditions to the bill. The time should not be more than three, or six months at the longest, He also objected to giving the company a charter for fifty years. Mr. R.

G. Taylor followed, showing the work could not be completed in as short a time as Mr. Gottschalk proposed, and that all such amendments were to kill the bill. Judge Jones followed in a general argument against the extension on the ground that the company had forfeited its rights. Judge Laughlin wound un the discussion, saying that the company had not prepared the bill.

It was prepared by the members of the Council committee. There was no necessity of putting up a new bond, as this was not a new ordinance, but an amendment to the original one. Mr. John A. Heinricks followed in a speech against the bill on the ground that it violated the third parallel law, and the tracks would do great damage in breaking wagons.

The committee then went into executive session, and amended the bill in such a manper as to make the time in which the road shall be completed two years from the date of the acceptance of the original ordinance, June 6, 1884. This does not change the bill, but makes the ordinance more clearly what It purported to be -an amendment of the original ordinance. The bill was passed In the House last night with the amendment. The Council adopted the amendment, and it was returned to the House. It will be enrolled on Tuesday night, and may be read and signed in both houses that evening.

The bill will undoubtedly be ready for the Mayor's signature Friday night next. NOTES. MR. ALLEN, Acting Mayor, is losing flesh from the strain put upon him. CITIZEN FINK and John H.

Maxon are very friendly now. They harmonize on the cable railway bill. FIFTY fremen, recently appointed, were sworn in by Mr. Tracey, at the Register's office, yesterday. FIFTEEN public wells were condemned and ordered closed yesterday, among others the well at the Court House.

COUNCILMAN STONE is just full to overflowing with statistics on the gas question, and it Is pitiful to see some unsuspecting victim start him on the subject. THE amount collected for water licenses during May was $77,938.71, an increase of 156 over the collections of May last year. This is the largest collection for any one month during the existence of the office, THE information comes from the Comptroller's office that no appropriation has ever been made for the work or reconstructing the sidewalk around the Court House, and that there may be some trouble when the contractor puts in his demand for his money. The cost of the work is about $5,000. HONOR THE BRAVE.

Keys, a -informed stockman, just In from a tour of West, says the wheat can not possibly half crop; that make? thousands and thousands of acres have been plowed up and planted in corn, and that this crop, too, is late and unpromising. Corn is too high, he says, and farmers are rushing their swine market because it costs too much too feed them on corn as it is now selling and as it is likely to sell when the damage to the coming crop shall have been appreciated. SURPLUS OF OLD WHEAT. In regard to the stock of old wheat in Illi nois, the last agricultural report of that State speaks as follows: "The amount of wheat in the hands of the farmers of this State the first of May, 1885, is 6,350,202 bushels, which exceeds the average supply reported for the corresponding date in previous years by 523,507 bushels. This large surplus of old wheat in the hands of the producer is owing in part to the prevailing low price obtained for wheat the past season, and the decrease in exports caused by good harvests abroad and unusual stocks of wheat accumulated of late in the foreign markets.

THE ILLINOIS GRAIN INSPECTION BILL. Henry W. Leman, member of the Illinois Legislature from the famous Sixth Senatorial District, was on 'Change yesterday afternoon. When questioned as to the grain inspection bill, now before the Legislature, he said: "We have got it corraled in the Senate. We have strength enough there to break it up.

The struggle will be in the House. To be sure it can not be passed in the House, but then care should be taken that it does not get sufficient impetus to help it through two years hence. The southern part of Chicago has been excluded from, its provisions that the Chicago men might induced to support it. Now the bill is a measure to affect directly East St. Louis only." A FALL IN WHEAT.

The bears were in control of the pit throughout the day. July wheat was started at $1 fell slowly to rose again to $1 and then dropped like a plummet to $101. Trading was free at $1 Provisions were dull and lower. Flour trade was at a minimum. market has been bolstered up too much by the bad crop reports, said Redmond Cleary.

"'The large visible supply in Chicago and the Northwest is also being felt. Spring wheat here, which people expected to get 95 cents for, won't sell now at 85 is no export, you see," said William Orthwein in regard to the same subject, "and the receipts continue fair. All the wheat coming in is not generally noticed, because Much of it is taken directly to the 4 The drop is partially due to the fact that men are settling up in anticipation of two holidays and the first of the month, said Michael McEnnis. "The fall in wheat and flour has also depressed provisions. Then there is a general feeling of depression and disgust among men who have been holding stock back till they have become tired, and they are now letting it go.

After they nave let it out the market will begin to recover." AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The monthly report of the United States Department of Agriculture was received from Washington by Secretary Morgan yesterday. Its estimate of the average condition of wheat in the principal wheat-growing States Is as follows: New York, 95 per cent; Michigan, 100; Ohio, 59; Kentucky, 45; Indiana, 70: 111- nois, 42; Missouri, 60; Kansas, 62. The general average is 70 per cent, 7 per cent less than in April. The crop has been reduced, it is calculated, to 240,000,000.

In regard to the question of Chinese labor on the Pacific coast the report says: correspondents on the Pacific coast refer to the Chinese as a source of addition to the labor supply, but in certain localities their presence seems to have the contrary effect, since they serve to keep away white laborers, who do not like to work beside them, while in the absence of further importations they are not sufflelently numerous to supply the market The report also suggests that cities and manufacturing towns should have offices opened, that farmers have means of communicating their need help to the unemployed city workingmen, who may then be enabled to start on foot to the region where they may get work, without risk of being mistaken for tramps. The reports of crops in the old country are partially as follows: Russian wheat, much damaged by frosts; British wheat, backward, but not weak; wheat in France, fairly satis. factory. NOTES.

Publie sales curtailed those of a private nature somewhat, but the aggregate was nevertheless satisfactory to dealers and agents.

It has recently dawned upon the minds of a few parties interested in land around the Fair Grounds that a great deal of vacant land has been quietly purchased by the association in that locality. They have pretty nearly acquired the entire tract adjoining the race course on the north and located between Lee, Newstead and Margaretta avenues. A hundred feet front were bought in there a few days since by John R. Lionberger, for $10 a foot front, thereby securing an unbroken plat. On this ground it is intended to erect permanent stables and quarters for the accommodation of racing stock and attendants.

Owners of West End property are profuse in their compliments to Charles. W. Francis, of the Sanitary Department, the energy he has displayed in assisting them to lay a 24-inch sewer pipe along Sarah street. This improvement drains a large area of territory between Washington and Easton avenues, and does away with an open trench nuisance that has heretofore existed on Sarah street, Delmar and Page avenues. The pipe for this purpose was purchased by J.

T. Donovan at the expense of interested parties, and the cost of placing it in position is being defrayed by the Sanitary Department of the city. Since there has been so much antagonism manifested towards the cable railway enterprise it has become a serious question with the people of that rapidly growing section adjacent to the Narrow-gauge Road, between Union avenue and De Hodiamont as to whether the railroad company will provide them with the hourly trains they have been clamoring for so long. They fear that unless the desired accommodations are afforded it will not be a great while before that part of the city between Vandeventer avenue and Forest Park will commence to Improve and grow so rapidly that the public will forget all about the handsome villas that have been erected within the past two years at Cabanne Place, Maryville, Bartmer Place and Rose Hill. The Laclede Avenue and Forest Park Street Railway will be opened tomorrow.

Within the past few days an eighteen-acre tract in McKinley Place, overlooking Forest Park, was sold for $55,000 to a syndicate, who will subalvide the property and sell it at auction during the present season. Another extensive private sale was consummated by Charles H. Bailey. He sold 200 teet front In Vandeventer Place aggregating $22,600. At Woodland City, a suburb eight miles out from Vine Street Depot, on the Wabash, thirty arpents of land were disposed of at auction at an average of $110 an arpent.

Ten years ago this property was estimated to be worth three times as much. In South St. Louis there was an auction sale that surprised the old real estate experts. Lots on Second and Third, in the vicinity of Lynch and on Shenandoah and Michigan streets, sold at from $9 50 to $12 30 a foot. Twenty years ago this property is said to have sold at $25 a foot, and was recently considered valuable on account of its adaptability to manufacturing purposes.
