Irregularities said to have been found caused the department to appoint a receiver. The Executive Committee on St. Louis Day at the World's Fair decided yesterday that August 11 was too early for that celebration. The event will become part of the fail festivities.

A man giving his name as Peter Hardy threw a brick through the show window of S. Relley, No. 511 North Sixth street, and secured diamonds valued at $2,500 yesterday afternoon. The Georgia building at the World's Fair was opened with a reception yesterday. The eighteenth annual State Convention of the Missouri Christian Endeavor Union convenes here to-morrow. Christian Brothers' College students recelved diplomas, which were conferred by Arohbishop Glennon. The Coroner of New York causes the arrest of a United States inspector, who refuses to testify at the inquest on the ground that he would incriminate himself. One hundred and twelve more bodies have been recovered, bringing the grand total now to 845, with more than 300 persons still unaccounted for. Texas delegates to the Democratic National Convention are-instructed for Judge Parker.
