Russian Government Making Active Prep ara i C ncentration of Troops St. Petersburg, April 2.—Notwith standing the passive tenor of the recent dis patches which have pa'sed between St. Petersburg snd London, the Russian Gov ernment continues its warlike prepara tions.

EX-GOV. FLETCHER DISAPPEARS. Missing from His Home in St. Louis Since March 21. A special dispatch from Ft. Louis, Mo., says: It appears that Thomas C. Fletcher, ex Governor of Missouri, whose mysterious disappearance was only mentioned yester day, had 1 een absent from his hom« ever since March 21. O 1 that day some of his near frier ds say they saw him on Broad way, but he had shaved off his bsard, and there was such a change in his appearance that they scarcely recognized him. Now there are a thousand starling rumors concerning his mysteri ns disappearince. A clerk in the ticket < ffice at the Union Station says he is [osilive that he sold ex- Governor Fletcher a ticket fir Kansas City, but the man answering to the description given of him has only been traced to S'. Charles, an 1 some think that the ex-Gov ernor jumped off'the train there and foui d a grave in the Mississippi. The detectives are of the opinion that there is something back of his appearance and that he has gone to New York. No person familiar with his haunts has ■been able to trace him to any of them. It was at first thought that he had gone to De Soto, Mo., where he had business and property interests, but a gentleman arrived from that place yesterday is emphatic in the declaration that he has not been there re cently. Possibly he may have gone to visit his daughter, who lives on a ranche in the vicinity of Colorado Springs. If so, he went without saying anything to his family in this city about such an intention. His friends thought that possibly he might have had some financial trouble, but a careful examina tion of his books and trusts shows that there is no ground whatever for such belief. He is managing one estate, and every dollar of the money belonging to it, it is claimed, is in its proper place. OLD-TIME MORMOMS. Saints of Years Ago in Armstrong and Westmoreland.

The party were detained at White Rock until the next spring, and by that time a large percentage of the population had embraced the Mormon faith and been baptized. Many of the new converts fol lowed at once the main body into the West ern wills, but others remained behind to follow at a later date. A correspondence was carried on between the brothers here and those in the West, and your correspondent was allowed to examine a number of these, time-stained let ters. In one Thomas Hickenlooper, a for mer loc 1 magistrate here gives an account of the tragic death of Smith, and attempts to show how even the hand of Providence was manifest in his death.

THE SPECULATORS AT SEA. The Bulls and Bears Fighting for Control —Good Prospects Ahead. Special Dispatch to the Daily Times. Chicago, April 2.—The speculative market on ’change are stili a pretty wild deal. Foreign news is watched just as c ose ly as heretofore but with this difference : Recently the crowd were all “long” on the market and under the leadership Sid Kent, Hobbs, and McDermid were ready to push prices up two or three points on the slight est rumor favoring war ; now the pit traders are generally “short” and with Nat Jones and George Eldridge at the front they are watching and hoping for final peace news on which to pound the market down to hard pan. Reports of injury to the growing wheat are as voluminous as ever, dispatches from twelve districts in Kansas, Nebraska Missouri saying that 20 .70 per cent of the crop has been killed, Hessian flv haviug caused muct of the damage. To make these advances now realistic some of the bulls have got great bundles of rools which they lig about the door and exhibit So far this ha- had no effect bat it I is generally believed that as soon as the war scare is entirely subsided and peo; Is have time to sit down and consider the crop there will be some hardening of val tes as well as an increase in outside buying. We have, in addition to a badly dam aged wheat crop —the almost remarkable unanimity of the reports on this point forcing a belief in them -a very largely in creased acreage, which, bicked up by the very low price of the staple, leaves ro m for a material advance. Said J. H. Chandier to-day: ‘Prices are 50 per cent below those ruling a year ago, and large stocks will cut but little figure when it becomes . apparent to investors that in the end they can reap a rich reward by paying carrying charges on it.’ J. W. Pli-s shosays: “Now that the war cl >ud seems likely to enrir.ly vanish the impetus which prices will acquire in their fall after the withdraw! of the prop, will doub 1 ss carry them to a point bel w their 1 v<l and from which there must oe a quick reaction. To buy on breaks is the safest course ” The fact is nobody is paying any attention to the features which ordina - ily govern the market at this season of the year. Receipts are 1 glut and shipments lirge, but dealers make no note of it. Nobody seems to care whether any more wheat is ever raised or not. They all know there is some 20,000, 000 bushels more lying around than there ought to be and they wonder what on earth can be dine with it except duop it into Lake Michigan. If trade once gets back to a legitimate basis it will be far more satis factory all around. Corn is generally steady. Receipts are increasing now which induces raiher free selling by the bear element when the cables are at a pacific nature, but. the large con sumptive and export dim nd prevents actual weakness. Oats are developing a little more activity but prices do not change much. McCor mick is the leading bear, while W. G. Press and Baker are prominent bulls. Pork is quiet and sluggish. Many be lieve, however, in good prospects, and on the theory that the crowd is always wrong, think it a better purchase now than ever. Notes fr< m Athens. Special Correspondence Daily Times. Athens, March 31. —The party consist ing of about twenty Atheneans that visited New Orleans on “Georgia Day” have return ed. They report a pleasant time, and are loud in their praises of the Exposition. An excursion to Ta’lulah Falls, under the auspices of the Good Templars of this city will occur on the 18th of April. The tickets have been put down to the low rate 0f51.50, less than a cent a mile, and a large crowd of citizens have already signified their inten tion of taking this opportunity of seeing the Falls in their spring dress. Rev. Kerr B. Tupper lectured here, ac cording to engagement, on Robert Burns, ‘the peasant poet.” The affair was an in tellectual treat, though it was to be regreted that so few were present. The gentleman has a splendid voice and a very pleasing de livery, which, with the aid of a fine persona! appearance never lail to captivate his au diences. Singular Effect of Frost. Providence. (R. I.) Journal. About the Ist of March a cargo of cypress lumber of 100,000 feet, was landed at one of the leading lumber yards of this city, and the lumber was piled up in good order. It happens that this kind of lumber, when green, is very largely supplied with mois ture and ordinarily requires considerable time to become fully seasoned. But in warm weather there is no difficulty in the process, and much of the lumber is used in building. As soon as the above mentioned cargo was piled the weather set in severely cold, and so continued for some time. The result was that the moisture enclosed in the green cy presslumber not having had time to evapo rate, was frozen inside the timber, and the continuance of tbe freezing caused the por ous wood to burst so as to ruin a large part of the cargo. Thick planks twenty feet long have been shivered into strips, and are fit only for fuel. Heavy joists are also splintered from end to end. In some cases the frost has bent the timber crosswise and broken it. An old lumber measurer of twenty-five years experience says that it is the first instance of the kind ever brought to his notice. It is fortunate that the lum ber cun be duplicated before it will be need ed by the builders. The Southern lumber men will be cautious about shipping cypress hereafter unless it is already seasoned. “ROUGH ON COUGHS.” Ask for “Rough on Coughs.” for Coughs olds, Sore Throat, Hoaren'ss.

A TALK WITH A COFFIN-MAKER. ‘what He Said About Fashions in Caskets and Other Things* “What is the latest style in coffins?”asked a reporter this morning of a prominent un dertaker. “Coffins, coffins!” said the undertaker, as if it was a word that no well regulated funeral conductor could be expected to know. “Oh, coffins have been out of style for fifteen years. You mean caskets. Cas kets have been all the go for fifteen years. If I were to tell you that some prominent citizens were laid out in a coffin, you would put it in the paper as certain as fate, “cloth covered casket” from mere force of habit. Burial caskets sel dom change in style except in minor points, such as trimmings and orna ments. In shape they are now pretty much the same as they were thirty-five years ago. Then they were new, and were slow to gain popularity. Anything of that kind takes very slowly, and" for fifteen years and more the old-fashioned coffin held its own against the “new fangled” casket. Some old people still think that they would rest better in a burial case of the same shape as that in which their forefathers bones were placed, and they are sometimes called for, by very respectable people, but these are the excep tion. The first caskets were “hinge tops;” that is, the lid was fastened to the sides with hinges, and worked like the top of a trunk. Now we have the top screwed down with an opening at the head. Sometimes the face of the departed is screened by a glass plate . and sometimes it is not.” “What are caskets made of?” inquired the reporter. j “Oilr cloth-covered caskets are made of oak, ash and walnut, but I don’t undertake to say that all the caskets you see are made of hard wood. There is room for swindling, as you can plainly see, and the only mode of detection is to judge by the weight, or to cut the cl >th —still undertakers as a rule are honorable men —just about as honorable as ministers or doctors, and where one will take advantage of a man and palm off on him a cemmrn pine coffin, covered with cloth, the majority of the profession will act squarely with him and give him exactly what he t pays for. A great deal of money has been made by dishonorable undertakers who ' charged for walnut or ash and furnished white pine.” “Do undertakers make the caskets they sell?” “The leading undertakers do, but there are lots of smaller establishments that are supplied with caskets from factories in New York and Pittsburg. There was several years ago a sign on West Baltimore street which read ‘Maryland Steam Coffin Factory.’ These factories turn out hundreds of un trimmed coffins to which handles are put by the undertakers, who also trim them as or dered.” “Is there any 1 kelihood of a change in the style of the casket?” “No, I think not The next change will be to cremation. It looks as if things were drifting that way now, but, of course, it will take quite a while for the majority of peo ’ pie to become reconciled to the idea.” [■ The Princess of Wales wears a very small i bnstle, yet the whole of England is in an awful bustle about it; one would suppose . they had run short of Dr. Bull’s Cough .

Graphic Account of the Scenes in and Around the Chamber of Deputi s Par's, March 31.—Not since the sur render of Sedan and the wild and tumultu ous scenes which followed fast upon that disaster, has there been such an ugly exhi bition of temper in the streets of Paris as has been witnessed here since early morn ing. The meagre majority by which the Government was sustained on Saturday gave timely warning of the fate which awaited it, and the indignant mutterings yesterday on the streets after the spread of the tidings of the defeat at Langson sug gested precautions but for which there might have been enacted counterparts of the frightful tragedies which disfigured the revolution of 1789, or the more bloodv orgies I of the Commune. Rochefort and other in- I cendiarits circulated freely among the ex- I cited people, with advice which should i have consigned its authors to the first Limp I post, instead of the officials they threatened. Groups of savage men were plied with revi lutionary speeches by these agitators, and the guillotine and lanterne were dragged in at con- venient intervals to emphasize their de nunciations of the officials. Eirly last night the populace was made aware that ' bodies of troops were pasted within support- j ing distance of each other, and ready at a moment's notice to check any unusual man ifestation of turbulence or disorder. This had a mollifying effect for the time being, but the excitement increased ten-fold dur ing the early morning. Little rivulets poured out irom the faubourgs,and, running ; into each other, form'd an ocean of human- i ity in the streets leading to the Chambers j of Deputies. Threats of violence and cries j of treason were bandied about in the heated discussions between the various groups into which the mob divided. It was known that a council was being held to decide upon the future course of the r-overnmen*, and the ribal I but humor our satire which greeted any allusion to the conference served to rtl'eve, at times, the painful anxiety which was felt at the pres ence of this irresponsil le Paris mob At an early hour troops had been despatched to guard the Chamber, and detachments of infantry were stationed near each other in the adjacent streets. Smail squads of cav al -y occasionally appeared, ready for any emergency, and several sections of artillery, covered by the infantry supports, showed that President Grevy did not propc se to allow a revival of the “Commune” if it could be avoided by proper foresight. The troops were the recipients of all manner of coarse abuse. There was a respectable element in the mob to-day seldom seen at such times —a lavish sprinkling of workingmen weary of the wretched fruitless, mismanagement of the ministry, and bent on giving expression to its indignation. As soon as the doors were thrown open the galleries of the Cham ber of Deputies filled with excited people, many of whom were bent on mischief, and it was with the utmost difficulty that the pc lice, reinforced by the military, could pre serve even a semblance of ordcs. The mem bers of the Cabinet were called out by name and plied with the most opprobrious terms. Prime Minister Ferry for a few moments seemed daz d by the storm <>f abuse and the wild confusion which reignid in the cham ber. He quickly recovered himself, how ever, and announced in a firm voice the de cision of the government. A credit of 200,000,000 francs must be voted immediately he said, and effective reinforcements must be despatched to the brave men who were maintaining the honor of France against immense odds in Tonquin and China. The honor of the French nation was involved, and there must be no patlsying and no de lay. He read the dispatches rec. ived from General Briere de I’lsle, in reference to the repulse at Langson, and said the retreat to the Red River delta had been made in good order and in the face of 50,000 Chinese troops. The army of France was at present confined to the delte, but it was not demoral ized, and only awaited the coming of a sufficient force to rettieve the disas ter at Langson and a d fresh laurels to those which had so often crowned the French armies in the past. He spoke well and with great emphasis, though re peatedly interrupted by noisy demonstrations in the galleries and on the floor. In conclud ing, he moved that a committee be appointed on the credit, and that this motion be sepa rated from the ministerial question. M. Clemenceau in a stirring speech heartily ad vocated the credit, and urged that reinforce ments be immediately despatched to both Tonquin and China, but denounced the policy of the government and opposed the motion for a committee. Fie was followed by Duval and Ribot, who said the opposition were willing to make any sacrifices to sus tain the honor of France, but demanded the downfall of the Cabinet, which they insisted, had persistently and with de sign concealed the truth about the situation in Tonquin and China from the French people. Upon the motion being put, the ministry was defeated by 147 majority. The announcement cf the vote was received wi’h the wildest sigrs of delight, ard had not the troojs been at hand to protect the fallen ministers, they would have been roughly handled, if not torn to pieces. Minister Ferry announced the resignation of the Cabinet, wh-ch was the signal for another stormy scene. The resignations were sub sequently accepted by President Grevy. As soon as order was restored several members eiemanded the impeachment cf the minislry. M. Deiafosse requested urgency upon amotion to that effect made by M. Laisant, but the Chamber votid it down by a vote of 204 to 161. Upon the adjourn ment of the Chamber the retiring ministers were saluted with insulting cries, and sev eral rushes were made to reach them, which were promptly suppressed by the guards. It is impossible at this hour to get any thing reliable in regard to the formation o the new Cabinet. It is rumored that M de Freyciuet, who succeeded Gambetta it S6OO A YE AR I January, 1882, and was overthrown in Au gust oi me same year, or M. Ribot will be asked io form a new ministry. M. Wadding , i ton, at present tbe French dipl imatic rep reseatative in London, is spokeu as for M. Ferry’s piece, and M Leon Say, with whom Americans are familiar, is mentioned as l Minister of Finance, M. Clemenceau is also talked of in connection with the new Cab inet, as isalso Campenon. The excitement has s imewhat abated, but there are evi dences on all sides that Paris is in a dan gerous humor, and the military guards have been strengthened at points where danger menacee. CHARGED WITH LARCENY. Max Rovelsky Charges Walter Brown with the Theft of i#lo While Pur chasing a Suit of Clothes. Yesterday afternoon a young ship corker named Waler Brown, went into the store of Max Rovtlsky on St. Julian street, west of the Market, and purchased a suit of clothes. He paid for the clothes about $6, and said that he had only 20 cents left. Wh le the trade was being made Rovelsky j took off his own vest and laid it down lon the counter to try on a vest, i When be put bis vest on again | he found that two $5 bills which he claims to have had in the pockets were gone, as was also Brown. He placed the matter in the hands of Justice T. J. Sheftall who had Brown arrested, charged with larceny and upon an examination this morning he was discharged for want of evidence. It was proved that soon afier Brown left Rovilsky’s place he went to Noah Ulmer's saloon and I got a drink and a cigar, giving a $5 bill to be changed, although he had just told Rovelsky that he only had twenty cents. Brown t< 11 a friend that the reason he did this was to cheapen tbe suit of clothes, and claims that he can prove he had other i money. Although the evidence in court was suspiciously against him, Brown was i discharged for want of tangible proof of his (guilt. ROBBED BY HER OWN CHILD. Lucy Lamar, W aitressat the Central Rail road Depot, Robbed by Her Adopted Daughter. Lucy Lamar, the neat colored waitress at I the Central Raildroad passenger depot, lost a trunk and as many household goods and wearing apparel as it would hell from her house on Tattnall street corner of Liberty street lane, last night. Shortly after, the fifteen-year-old daughter of her brother, and whom she raised from a child, disappeared, and upon making inquiry Lucy learned that the girl whose name is Maggie Lmchczhad stated that she was going to run aw T ay. Lucy has given the matter into the hands of a detective, and will leave no stone unturned to d’scover the girl, whom she believes to be still in the city and har bored by some friend. She proposes to get the girl and send her to her father and if she had help, (as she no doubt did) Lucy proposes to prosecute wnomsoever it may be. She will also prosecute the party or parties who are harboring the girl, who is only about 15 years old. Lucy is well known and noted for her polite and obliging atten tion to all who come in contact with her. Runaway. This morning on the corner of D.'ayton and Broughton streets, tbe shaft of a truck wagon in which was seat'd the proprie trees, by some accident broke loose and fell to the ground, becoming er tingled in the horse’s legs. The animel became frighten ed and started to kick, but suddenly started off on a dead run, the woman not attempting to stop him, and indeed being unable to do so. Just as the animal had gained good headway a little colired b otblack rushed but and by some manner of means, managed to stop the animal without doing any damage. Bystanders say it was a brave and courageous act. Miss Lockwood’s Reception.
