Stein was discharged from the City Hospi- tal Saturday, where ha had been for three months with throat trouble. Saturday night he was going to his room, 19 South Seventh street, and had occasion to pass Third and Market street. He was met by four men who caught hold of him, choked him to prevent his making outcry, and dragged him into a room. In hie weakened condition he was easily overpowered. Though there was no ne- ceasity for their doing so, tase kicked him and beat him and told him if he made any outcry they would kill him. en they went through his clothing and took all of his valuables. He had but 22.83 in money. They took this and sent out and bought beer with it. Th remained in the room several hours. When they left they took his coat and overcoat and locked the door. They told him if he made any attempt to escape they would kill him. Stein remained in the room until 6 o'clock, when the door was opened and he was re- leased.

Chauncey Depew Becomes a Living Picture at a Swell Event. NEW YORK, March 7.—It's a very dull evening, indeed, even for the Lenten sea- son, when the Misses Hewitt can’t get up in it. Their vegetable party recently was the party of the season, and now every- body is talking about the impromptu. tab- leaux vivants with music and recitations, with which they amused their friends at their home, 9 Lexington avenue. The tab- leaux vivants were shown in rapid suc- cession, the subjects posing behind a gilt frame Senn on the stage. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew was one of the uests, and there Was a general demand rom all sides that he should pose as 4 Peach’’ without any attempt at disguiee. Mr. Depew hesitated a little, but the audi- ence would listen to no refusal, and in a few minutes the curtain was drawn aside, and he was discovered beaming smilingly forth from the . as The Modern De- mosthenes.“ The Ust of guests was much the same as that at the vegetable party.

The “Naval” Vessel Fern Will Be Substituted for the Cruiser Montgomery, Which Will Proceed to Havana. Lee Will Remain at His Post, Spain Having Withdrawn the Suggestion of His Recall. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.—It is impossible to exaggerate the ‘gravity of 0. situation here. The time has cobe when the aspect of affairs in Washington should be ;_ frankly laid before the country, when it should be stated publicly that there are men here, in and out of Congress, who pass for Americans, and yet who are openly and avowedly engaged in hampering the Administration in the prudent preparations for the crisis with Spain which is imminent. Speaker Reed, Boutelle of Maine, Hale of Spain and Maine and Dingley of Maine are retarding every administrative department or legislative measure to strengthen the navy for the emergency. The Administration—most certainly President McKinley—appreciates fully the gravity of the situation. He knows that Spain is on a war footing and has been so for two years past. He knows that there is no great power in the world with which our position of defenselessness can be compared save only that of China. Spain, on the contrary, is to-day as ready as she ever could be for war. With her limited resources her condition cannot be improved. There are 150,000 good Spanish soldiers upon a war footing only 80 miles from our shores, who could, of course, be prevented from invading Florida or any other province of our territory, but most certainly not by Admiral Sicard’s fleet, with the minimum of coal and ammunition on board, and the Admiral, like the distinguished head of the Swiss Navy, on shore. To each one of these 150,000 soldiers, brutalized as well as acclimated and hardened by three campaigns, the Spanish Government owes a thousand dollars at the lowest esti- mate. : Spain will never transport these men back to Spain, because she cannot pay them, and because if they were taken home and not paid they would not long hesitate to unite with the anti-dynastic elements at home, and the equilibrium which up to the present has been maintained between the contending parties by the Government of the day would be destroyed as the result of revolution and perhaps anarchy in Madrid. President McKinley, though annoyed and heavily handicapped by the opposition from Speaker Reed, Senator Hale, Representative Boutelle and ofhers in his party, is acting most patriotically and with statesmanlike appreciation of the situation. He and his advisers are doing what can be done without the official and open co-operation of Congress in preparing for the crisis which is upon us. Contracts for supplies and munitions in the aggregate amounting to many mill- ions have been given out upon the responsibility of the Executive and the depart- ments alone, but something more is confessedly needed.

Fitzhugh Lee, Consul-General of the United States, when questioned to-day regarding Spain’s demand for his recall, said: “IT shall continue to do my duty, which is to guard American interests.’ “Fitzhugh Lee, my son, came to visit me during the short vacation granted him by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. He was here before, has many friends and will return to the United States when his vacation is over, next week. Mrs. Lee is not in. nor is she nervous. I have not written her anything to alarm her. I have had no need to do so.” PUBLIC MEN HOLD CONFERENCES WITH THE PRESIDENT ON THE CUBAN SITUATION. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.—Frequent consultations have been held between the various officials. Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary Day Have been more than once to see the President. Secretary Alger pronounces the army and country’s defenses in readiness for war. High officials declare the navy to be well advanced in preparation and all minor details are being hastened to completion. Not since the disaster to the Maine has the President received so large a number of early callers of prominence as this morning. Senators Allison and Hale were among the first to arrive, and they were immediately shown into the Cabinet room. They were soon joined by Secretary Long and Representatives Dingley, Grosvenor and Cannon. The conference lasted nearly or quite an hour, and at its conclusion all left about the same time.

SUMMARY OF EVENTS IN THE DAY’S GREAT TOPIC. Spain backs down and will not de- mand the recall of Gen. Lee. The claim is made at Madrid that it was not a demand, but merely a suggestion. This Government stands by Gen. Lee and he will not be removed by President McKinley. Gen. Lee cables that he is at his post, and will continue to protect American interes-. The White House was thronged with callers to-day, amoung them many Sen- ators and Congressmen. Reed, Boutelle, Hale and Dingley are said to be hampering the President. Congressman Canndn will introduce a bill appropriating $50,000,000 for the national defense. The bill may pass the House at once. It is believed to have been suggested by the President. The Fern has been substituted for the Montgomery and Nashville to carry food to starving Cubans. This was done becd ese of the pro- tests against sending warships, made by Spain. The Hawley bill creating two addi- tional regiments of artillery has passed the House. Two separate commissions of Span- ish officers have arrived in London to purchase ammunitiun. * AMMUNITION FOR THE ASIATIC SQUADRON. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The Asiatie squadron now concéntrated at Hong Kong is to be supplied with ammunition at once. Attention was called by the Post-Dispatch nearly a week ago to the fact that the vessels of this fleet were short of powder and shot. This will be remedied by the following ordered to San Franc'sco: “Fit the Mohican to carry fifty-four tons of ammunition and small arms to Honolulu, consisting of about seven tons of powder in eight and six-inch anks, thirty-three tons of i fixed ammunition, four and a half tons of smal] arm cartridges, nine tons of eight and six-inch projectiles and half a ton of re- volvers.“ ; This is the text of an extraordinary order, and further demonstrates the fact that the Administration is preparing for any emer- gency. COMMERCE DESTROYERS PLACED IN COMMISSION. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.—At 9 o'clock the Navy Department to put the Columbi and Minneapolic, the two great commerce destroyers, in commission at once. These two vessels have been held in reserve for some time past. The complement for the two vessels is 449 men each. There are 88 men on each The detail of officers for those ships will probably be given out later to-day. These two ships will take 722 men of the 1500 seamen asked for by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt recently. Plenty of sailors are ready to enlist. As soon as the bill passes these two sh ps can be sent to sea within two days. It is stated that Commander James H. nds will com- mand the Columbia and Commander Theo- dore F. Jewell will command the Minne- apolis. SPAIN’S NEW TORPEDO BOATS NEARLY READY. GLASGOW, March 7.—The crews to man the Spanish torpedo boats Osado and An- des, which are being completed by the Thompsons for Spain, have, arrived her». It is expected that the boats will be com- pleted 4 Friday or Saturday, when they will go to Ferrol, Spain, where they will take on board their armaments. From Ferrol the Osado and Andez are going to Cuba. PROCTOR LEFT AFTER CONSULTING WITH M’KINLEY. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.-—It fs now known positively that Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont undertook his visit to Cuba af a long conference with the President on the afternoon preceding his departure. t this conference a thorough under- \standing was reached that Senator Proc- tor should make a tour of the fsland, pick- ing up all possible information for the fut- ure idance of t President. It was plainly impressed upon Senator Proctor that bis report would of vital importance and might determine what measures should be adopted by the Administration in treat- ing the Cuban question, — Congressman C nnon Will Introduce a Bill Appropriat- ing $50,0 ,000 for the National Defense. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The Navy Department an- nounced at 2 p. m. to-day that the cruiser Montgomery would re- lieve the dispatch boat Fern at Havana and that the Fern would carry provisions and relief supplies to Matanzas and Sagua. This is understood to be a satisfactory arrangement to the Spanish Government and will relieve the incident of its irritating features. 7 3 4 : The Fern is a naval ship, but scarcely a warship in the proper sense of the term, her principal use being in dispatch carrying and in the transportation of freight from one navy yard to another. No attempt is made to deny that the attitude of the Spanish Government towards the entry of the warships into Cuban ports may be full of significance and lead in the end to trouble. It is realized that if it is conceded that vessels of the United States Navy may be in times of peace excluded from Matanzas or Sagua, by the same rules they likewise may be kept out of Havana harbor and the administration would thereby not only be prevented from redeeming its promise to send another warship to replace the Maine, but would be obliged to leave American citizens resident in Havana entirely without protection in case of need. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 7.—Spain has backed down on her “suggestion” that Lee be recalled, but the expectation of war is stronger than ever. . : War with Spain is the universal theme throughout the Na- tionabb Capital to-day. The tension over the Spanish situation has reached its most acute stage, and the highest admipistratiye fl. . cials share in the profound concern over the results which the rye present situation may develop. The White House, the War, State and Navy departments were common centers of th's morning orders were dispatched soe activity, and the ofticials reflected the profound anxiety that was felt. Among the President's earliest callers were members of the Foreign Committee of the Senate and House. They learned direct from the President the decisive steps he had taken in rejecting the proposals for the recall of Gen. Lee. They came away with «he impression that the President felt that the gravest crisis had been met by the quick responses made, and that now there was a period of calm until Spain’s next move was made. They in turn made it clear to the President that ont- side of the official status the events were certain to create intense feeling throughout the country and to agitate Congress to a point of action. ; Members of the House, who are powerful in shaping action in that body, told the President plainly that they feared the House could not be restrained much longer. While Spain’s strict right to dismiss Lée is not questioned, it is said that pending the Maine investigation with the Court of Inquiry sitting and the people of the island starving, the dismissal of Lee would be such a blow to the interests of the United States that it would not be measured by ordinary rules, but would be taken as tantamount to an overt hostile act. There are strong official intimations that Lee would not be replaced by another Consul-General, but that his dismissal would terminate all diplomatic relations, which in itself is a preliminary to hostilities. is WASHINGTON, March 7.—Spain has withdrawn her request for the recall of Consul-General Lee and it is now believed that the incident is practically closed. The withdrawal came to-day in the shape of an official communication from Minister Woodford, It is now stated that the request was never put in the shape of a demand, but that it was merely a suggestion on the part of Spain, and when she found that it would not be pleasantly received by this country she promptly receded. 8 It is learned that the Spanish objection to Consul-General Lee is based largely upon his sympathy for the Cubans and some of his utterances which have found their way into print. It fs un- derstood that the Spaniards also take exceptions to the friendly relations and companionship existing between Gen. Lee and corre- spondents of American papers which have been decidedly un- friendly to Spain. It is believed that Senor de Lome carried to Spain papers and information calculated to make the Spanish Government request the recall of Consul-General Lee. that he would withdraw his protest. * -~ —_— BILL TO APPROPRIATE $50,000, 000 2 FOR THE NATIONAL DEFENSE, WASHINGTON, March 7.—Chairman Cannoa of the Appropriations Commit- tee to-day introduced a bill entitled “Making Appropriations for the National De- ſense. iE is as follows: * That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not o wise appropriated for the national defense and fur each and every purpose * i i, * 4 2 . 8 "Gio SB 2 4 8 * 8 iy 1 2 % — * * J * 8 2 * * > * 7 “ , ¢ * ee, 2 4 5 * * 4 . 8 ’ : eo ‘ 8 . x 5 —— . a ee . * 15 a * 8 : 5 2 : + - 3 8 4 4 aay 5 ars * — 4 ri : 9 AL) , 2 5 . ? ~ * Pg ae . * N rey ok > K . a 0 » * * 2, 1 ; N 5 5 * 00 PLT i * r * * M n r ; re gy , 8 rq * . 1 : 8 e 0 0 1 2 ’ 1 fen Ane) ah, 19 Pe ah 2 — ef ad, * * 3 * Rasy! > * 2 = > K a 4 "ag, 4 entire satisfaction with the present arrangement and intimated 8 r 6 * 2 0 ay ay.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. sident and to remain WASHINGTON, March 7.—Spain has been warned that any unnecessary re- quests or demands must not be made upon the United States at this time. President McKinley's real resolution, now fixed, to deal firmly with Spain, has been made unmistakably clear. The Associated Press sent out a story from Madrid which reached this country early Sunday morning that a demand for Lee's recall had been made and refused by McKinley. When pressed for a specific declaration on this point, Assistant Secretary Day said he had not received any such request from the Spanish Government. It is known, however, in Spanish circles here that on last Friday Senor du Bose notified the State Department that Spain would protest against the United States sending food ta the Cuba reconcentrados in war vessels. This policy is not new. When the first relief was organized several- months ago, the Administration desired to use a warship for its transportation. At that time Min- ister Dupuy de Lome protested most vigorously. He stated then that such a method of sending relief would be a positive encouragement to the insurgents and an act that would materially interfere with the plans of Spain. Senor du Bosc in his latest communication calis attention to this letter from Min- ister de Lome and also to the action of the United States in assenting to its logic and appropriateness by a change of programme. He informs the United States that Spain expects similar courtesy now. While expressing the belief that this particular feature of the situation, will not lead to any trouble with Spain, Judge Day does not explain as to how the contention ‘of Spain that a warship must not convey provisions will be met. gut doubtless the same argument will be advanced as was brought forward’ when Senor de Lome filed his protest, that a warship of the United States can at all times without impropriety enter the ports of a friendly power. Secretary Long, when asked as to the probable effect of the Lee incident, said: “So far as the Navy Department is concerned the situation is. unchanged, and our plans have not been altered in the least. When asked if he thought the stand taken by the President upon the matter of Lee’s recall would precipitate or hasten what might have otherwise arisen in conse- quence of the relations between the United States and Spain, Secretary Long said it would not, in his opinion. The developments all indicate that the gravity of the situation has been aug- mented by the statement issued from the State Department. Senators and Representatives whose service on the Forcign Relations and Forign Affairs Committees has made them acquainted with much confidential information believe that serious complications will inevitably follow the President’s action. Many of these committeemen believe that Spain will now send Gen. Lee from Havana, leaving the United States at liberty to send another representative to replace him or permit the Vice-Consul General to serve indefinitely. No objection could be made by this Government to such action. It can be positively stated that an officiat THAT AN OFFICIAL INTIMATION THAT GEN. LEE’S RECALL WOULD SATISFY THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT WAS RECEIVED FRIDAY NIGHT. In official circles here the responsibility for the desire of Spain to have Lee re- called is placed entirely upon Senor de Lome, the former Spanish Minister. It is be- lieved that he has determined to hold Lee to the same accountability for writing pri- vate letters as that to which he was subjected. He is also credited with a desire to | STEPHEN BONSAL. war between the two countfiés. —— SPANISH DIVERS FOUND THAT THE MAINE WAS BLOWN UP FROM THE OUTSIDE. Bpecial Cable to the Post-Dispatch from the Staff Correspondent of the Boston Globe and Londen Datly Chronicle.

His resignation is a noble protest against a shameful governmental policy. Other resignagions are expected . e In these times the position of a United States Consul is most trying, even if prompt support always came from Washington, ator Quay’s nominee for the Matanzas Consulate, Mr. Saylor, came, looked. the ground over, spoke of renting the hand- somest house in town, told Consul Brice all about the Cuban war, and then A steamer back to Quay’s private car, which he said awaited him in Tampa, nat at all sure he wanted the place.

Consul yatt of Santiago is another able representative who feels keenly his government’s apathy. A general resigna- tion may be expected of American officials ashamed of the government which once was honored in Cuba. The Maine horror, whether caused by an ultra-Spaniard’s boiler torpedo or the Spanish Governments submarine mine, has had nothing to do with their resolution. It took the loss of 260 murdered Ameri- can sailors to fix American attention upon Cuba. May the brave action of Walter B. Barker and the attitude of his fellow con- suls drive public insight further into the Cuban question until every man, woman and child understand that the Cuban war is the starvaiion of a peaceful population, the impotence of the armed sections and the destruction of everything material. And that they may fully tag oie that further war in Cuba is useless to Spain, ruinous to Cuba and finally means war for the United States in any eyent, let them demand the publication in full of all the Consular reports.

A Woman Heard Some Miners Talking and Told Judge Woodward Detectives Guarding His House and the Courthouse. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WILKESBARRE, Pa., March 7.—That there is a secret organization of miners and mine workers to murder Judge Stanley Woodward and the 66 deputies who are being tried before him for slaughter of the striking miners in Lattimer last Septem- ber is believed by the Judge and other officials. Mayor Nichols and Chief of Police Briggs have been informed of the plot and are taking every possible precaution to prevent trouble. Armed guards watch Judge Woodward's home day and night and follow him wherever he goes. The existence of the alleged society and its murderous plan first became known through a young woman whose name the officials refuse to divulge. They fear for her safety should she be known. She overheard a conversation between two miners and notified the Judge. In- vestigation proved her story correct. So the closing arguments in the trial to-day will be made behind closed doors and with detectives and policemen not only in the room, but scattered about the public square in which the Courthouse is located. While refusing to tell his exact information Chief of Police Briggs said that, in a general way, the plot was for the throwing of a bomb in the Courthouse should a ver- dict of acquittal be rendered. UNDERWRITERS ON THE STAND Inquiry Inte Their Legal Right to Do Business. ANTI-TRUST LAW CALLED UP. BUPT. OREAR HOLDS AN INSUR- ANCE CONFERENCE AT THE SOUTHERN, JOINT POLICIES DISCUSSED. Assistant Attorney-General Jeffries Examines Witnesses to Discover Whether Insurance Statutes Are Being Violated. Fd T. Orear, State Superintendent of In- eurance, met the representatives of insur- ance companies Monday morning at the Southern Hotel and heard arguments to show that the prohibition of the law against joint policies of insurance does not apply —_—_— ty OREAR SCENTS SOMETHING WRONG. to the policies issued through underwriters’ agencies. Assistant Attorney-General S. B. Jeffries and Actuary Harvey were present to ald in conducting the oonference on be- malt ot the department, and about 20 prom- ment insurance men representing the inter- proof est of their companies. Mr. Hunter of Chicago, in opening the Mr. Loeb answered that he could see no de- cepticn, and the insured would certainly lose one-half his policy, but if he had been in- eured in one company he would have lost all his insurance. Mr. Jeffries here sprang the submarine mine which had been laid for the combining companies. He read the anti-trust law, | wh.ch prohibits combinations in restraint Mr. Hunter, he said, of competive trade. Does it not had admitted a combination. fetter competition? Mr. Hunter replied that, on the contrary, it encouraged competition by enabling the Smaller companies to meet the trade of ihe larger. Mr. Jeffries suggested that the restraint affected the smaller companies that were trying to do business independently, and thus injury came upon the people. Fur- ther, that the combination tended to de- Stroy competition among the companies thus in partnership. Mr. Loeb answered that the point would be correct were it not that the business done by the combination is only so much additional business, leaving the associated companies stil] contending for the ordinary business and thus encouraging competition Superintendent Orear wanted to know whether the agents of the several compa- nies in the underwriters’ association would be permitted to compete for underwriters’ business. This was a poser which Mr. Hunter un- dertook to answer by declaring that agents were permitted to thus compete until their offerings fell below a profitable point. This seemed to be not entirely satisfactory. But Mr. Hunter added that the same result fol- lowed where one company had five er si:8 agents in one city, who would compete for individual business until the company would call a halt by refusing the policy when the limit line was reached. Mr. Arnold he.d that the joint policies is- sued by the Underwriters’ Association were productive of competition because the ex- enses were thereby largely reduced, enab- ing the companies to charge less premiums. The Underwriters could afford to send an agent out to smaller cit@s and towns for all the companies, when each could not send out an agent as individual companies. Mr. Jetfries cross-questioned Mr. Arnold until the latter found himself somewhat embarrassed for answers, but he finally de- clared there was nothing in the combination which at all restrained the companies from competing with each other. He said he made the anti-trust affidavit required every year, and did it. with a clear conscience. The discussion became general at this oint, and somewhat heated as between the ifferent speakers for the insurance com- panies, in which there was apparent con- tempt for the anti-trust law of Missouri. Actuary Harvey made the point that the law of Missouri does not provide fqr Lloyds’ Associations, and that when they under- take to do business without authority from — Superintendent they are violating the aw. Mr. Hunter replied that each of the com- panies in the Inderwriters had such au- thority. ‘Maj. Harvey said that did not authorize an Underwriters’ Association to do bus!i- ness. Several of the insurance representatives filed their arguments in the shape of briefs. The conference attracted a number of in- eurance dignitaries from the principal citics of the country, among them Alexander Stoddard, manager of the New York Un- derwriters’ Agency; George L. Chase, presi- dent of the Hartford Insurance Co.; J. D. „ J. Littiejohn of the North British; H C. Eddy of the Commercial Union; U Ellison of the North American; E. burn of the Home, New York; R. J.

THE LETTER HE WROTE WAS MADE ILLEGIBLE BY BLOOD- STAINS. THE CAUSE IS NOT KNOWN. Mr. Rosenthal Visited His Old Store and After Chatting With Friends Walked to His Desk and Blew Out His Brains. Charles W. Rosenthal, for 20 years promi- nent in the wall paper trade of St. Louis, shot and killed himself at 9:15 o’clock Mon- day morning in the office of Herman Weins- burg & Co., 307 North Fourth street. Mr. Rosenthal sold out his wall paper es- tablishment to Mr. Weinsburg two weeks ago, and was making the store his tem- porary headquarters, retaining his desk in Sa.esman when business was unusually active. The dead man's family are at a loss to know why su'c!de was determined upon. Mr. Rosenthal’s domestic relations were happier than most men's, they say, and h's financiat affairs were in the same carefully arranged condition he always kept them. Place and conditions of the suicide were unusual. Mr. Rosenthal reached the store about 8 o'clock, and to the clerks and pro- prietors he seemed in brighter sp'‘rits than they had noticed him in a long time. He sat in a chair in the front part of the store, participating in general conversation, and giving no evidence that his troubled mind contemplated any act so rash as self-mur- der. For an hour he sat in pleasant con- versation with his companions, and just be- fore 9 o'clock he walked to the office in the rear of the store. John Knickmeyer, a salesman, observed him apparently engaged in going over some business correspondence, Knickmeyer was standing not ten feet away with his back turned upon the high desks arranged so as to form a square enclosure which constitut- ed the office.

HURTS STOCKS Decline Is Felt In Both Lon- don and New York. SPAIN’S MOVE PARTIAL CAUSE. BUT THE SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST ADDS TO PANICKY | FEELING. LOSSES ALL ALONG THE LINE. A Partial Recovery Comes Later, but a Drop From 2 to 3 Per Cent Is Shown in Summa- f rizing. „ LONDON, March 7.—A state of semi- panic prevailed on the Stock Exchange throughout the morning, owing to the Cu- ban crisis, the fear of war with Russia in the Far East, dear money and the near ap- proach of settlements. Later the operators became calmer, although the effect of the scare was still serious. New York pressed early sales which, with the aggressive at- titude of Spain, added to the alarm, Span- ish securities were most flat. NEW YORK, March 7%7.—Traders sold stocks to-day, not only on the complica- tions between the United States and Spain, but on, apprehensions of trouble between England, France, Russia and Spain, and a general embroilment of all the powers. The scene on the floor was an exciting one, but while the trading was eager, it lacked a suggestion of a panic. There was wary watching for the magical moment to buy at the cheapest, as well as to sell at the best, as was shown by the ewift rebound after the first slump. Quotations for Americans m Loydon were looked for as an index of values, but the markets there were suffering as acutely from the war cioud in the Far Bast as from the Cuban question. The second thought of traders here evi- dently was that war in the far East would not be likely to hurt them, and that Lon- don's opening of values was too extreme on the part of depression. Evidently, also a large amount of selling Friday and Saturday (reported to be for Washington account) still remained uncov— ered, and the large short interest promptly covered at the decline. As a consequence the first prices were the lowest, but the opening break was very vio- lent and dislodged a torrent of offerings, which were sold for anything that was of- U { r C. W.

Mr. Weinsburg and the clerical force were almost too horrified to move after they saw the body. The first examination told them that-the man was dead, and no effort was made to summon à surgeon. A telephone message was then sent to Hermann A. Haeussler of Broadhead & Haeussler, at- torneys, in the Laclede building. Mr. Haeuesler's sister is Mrs. Rosenthal. arrangements for care of the body. He summoned Mr. Rosenthal’s sons, Alex C. Charles, who after gazing upon the form of their dead father, hurried to the family residence, 3520 Sidney street, to break the news. One of the city under- | taker’s wagons called for the corpse and took it away to be prepared for removal to the Rosenthal home. An examination of the trousers pockets | showed only a few odds and ends, such as a knife, bunch of keys, a small measuring rule and some loose change. From che in- side pocket of the coat were taken several letters. All but one were business commu- nications addressed to the suicide, The ex- ception was a letter in the dead man's writ- ing to Mr. Haeussler. All the letters were glued together by the blood which had trickled down the body, and were in no condition to be handled. The undertaker's assistant attempted to wash them ant the hydrant in the store, but they were still in such condition that made it impossible to read thera, and Mr. Haeussler decided not to open the letter addressed to himself. He tied the personal effects in a bundle and made a separate parcel of the letters and placed them in his pocket. He said he would not look at the contents of the communication to himself until evening, said the letter doubtiess touched upon the meditated suicide, but he could not tmag'ire what explanation his brother-in-law could put forth for such an action. “Surely there never was a man who should have been more content with his lot in Ute,“ said Mr. Haeussler as he folded away the letters and glanced at the inan! mate object at his feet.

NEITHER SERIOUSLY HURT. The Struggle Took Place in an Alley and Lasted for an Hour Until the Gun Was Brought Into Play . As a result of a flerce race war in Caron- delet Sunday afternoon, two white youths are nursing gunshot wounds and a negro 16 locked up in the police station, charged with assault to kill. The battle waged for an hour and was only stopped by the appearance of the po- lice. Sticks, stones and fists were used vigorously until Lige Anthony opened fire on the whites with his shotgun. . James Hughes, aged 17 years, 8324 Penn- sylvania avenue, has a buckshot in his right hand, and Edward Wortman, 8415 Reilly ave- nue, was scratched by the scattering shot. Neither lad’s injuries are dangerous. About 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon a crowd of negro boys assembled in the alley be- tween Marceau and Polk streets. avis street and Reilly avenue. They were de- termined to rout the white youths of the neighborhood if the occasion occurred, Half an hour later young Hughes and Wortman with half a dozen companions passed down Reilly avenue. Hughes was particularly distasteful to the negroes and at a word from their leader a charge was made upon the whites, Hughes’ little 1 stood its ground and answered the volley of stones with like missiles.

The white boys ran into a yard across the alley from Anthony’s back door. He wa? fn his yard, and, seeing the negroes charg- ing after the fugitives, he grabbed his snot- gun and joined the blacks. Running up to within a few feet of where Wortman and Hughes were cowering behind a shed, he fired point-blank at them. Several of the shot struck young Wort- man and a slug-shot r Hughes’ hand. The wild r and report of the gun brought the police on a double-quick and the negroes fled. Hughes was taken to the office of Dr. A. Selmer, 7501 Pennsyivania avenue, where his wound was dressed. Wortman did not need medical assistance. Anthony was arrested some hours later and locked up inthe First District Police Station. He strenuously denied doing the shooting, but the police say there are eye- witnesses enough to convict hin. Feeling runs high in the neighborhood over the unprovoked assault and Capt.

He Also Wants Provision for Putting he Women at Work Making Socks. = —— | Col. Nick Karr, Superintendent of the Workhouse, was at the City Hall Monday urging the Board of Public Improvements to help him get an appropriation of $3500 for a new cellhouse. He has the foundation stone ready. Unless he gets the money soon he says he will have to turn loose another batch of prisoners to make room. The new building which he plans to have built will contain about eight large cells. It is his purpose to house only the trusties in it. That wil relieve the pressure on the other buildings to such an extent that he thinks he can handle all the police court grist for a year or So anyway. Mr. Karr has another plan which he will carry out if he gets the right kind of en- couragement. There is at present virtually no employment for the 8 or 90 women who are always confined at the works. They are compelled to serub and do the sewing for the institution, but that does not keep halt of them busy half of the time. Mr. Karr wants to establish a sock fac- tory. He figures that they could supply all the city institutions with those 1 arti. cles and have a surplus which could be ex- changed at the dry goods houses for other useful and necessary articles. He says the factory could be established at compara- tively small cost. “Of course,“ he says, the people inter- ested in socks will raise a howl, but the will have to howl. Such thin are made at the workhouses in other cities and we will have to get in line. BOY OF 15 FINED 350. Judge Zimmerman Comes Down Heav- ily on a Youchful Offender.

There is no longer any question of the attitude of the Amer!- ean people with regard to any polley adopted by the Admin- istration to vindicate the national; honor and end the bar- barous, destructive and menacing cénditions existing in Cuba. The supplementary interviews in yesterday's Sunday Post- Dispatch with members @ Congress and Governors of States, settled the matter. : It is clear that an overwhelming majority of the people are in favor of a. firm, dignified, vigorous policy as the only hope of averting war and calamities eve more costly than a war with Spain. Spanish treachery and arrogance must be sternly rebuked forthe vindication of national honor and the safety of Amerl- cans in future. Cuba's freedom must be secured as an atonement for treach- ery and as the only relief from agitation, the destruction of American interests and the constant menace of war which eventually will bring war. The situation has reached a point where firmness and vigor in support of American rights and interests and in protest against the intolerable conditons existing in Cuba constitute the wisest and safest course. The strong policy is the peace policy. The responsibility rests wholly with the Administration. If it meets the just demands of the situation it will meet the expectation and receive the loyal, united support of all parties and sections of the country. = = „ Regular Circulation of the Post-Dispatch last Sunday, 122,286. = = — a? a Picture stealing and news etealing are more natural in the Globe-Democrat than the censorship of journalism.

An articlé in Cassier’s Magazine for March presents a solu- tion of the St. Louis tunnel problem without the resort to elec- tricity which is said to be impracticable. Smoke can be prac- tically eliminated from the tunnel, without impairing the efficiency of the tractive force, by the substitution of oil for coal as fue! for the locomotives. The oll burning locomotive is a technical and economic suc- cess. Several are in use in this country. There are 37 running on the Great Eastern Railway, in England. They are found to be efficient and economical, both for express trains and yard use. They are also used on the Austrian State Railways aud at the Arlberg tunnel, which is 6% miles long. The change from coal to oi] has reduced the noxious gases produced very greatly and has done away with smoke. As coal burning locomotives can be changed to oil burning at no very great expense, it would be worth while experiment- ing in this line with the tunnel engines. Success would mean very much to St. Louls and the railways would of course share inthe benefits to be gained.

The London County Council has until now been hampered > by what might be called commercial peers. The Lords who have gone into trade, or who desire to go in, are naturally anxious that the splendid opportunities to “milk” the great public afforded by municipal franchises shall not be taken away from them by the cities doing their own business. This element has been thoroughly defeated. The citizens have buried it under a flood of votes. . The hand on the dial points to municipal ownership in all the great cities. The gigantic private corporations have shown the way. They have proved that mera size is nothing. What can be done by @ private corporation can be done by a public body, if the people take enough interest in their own affairs to un. fertake and to enforce good management. =——— -— = Regular Circulation of the Post-Dispatch last Sunday, 122,286. | 9294 Next to the extermination of all Americans, Spain would be rendered happy by the extermination of all American news- paper writers.

One of the most remarkable of the recent discoveries in astronomy is the fact that a number of the fixed stars are t to @ periodical eclipse which ususally lasts five or Ax, hours. These stars are known as Algol-variables, because the first ‘one found to be subject to this rule was the star known as Aigol. Astronomers have concluded that the only reasonable explanation for this periodical diminution of the stars’ light is the passing between them and our line of vision of dark bodies that are revolving around these stars as our sun's planets revolve around it. . Not only must these dark bodies be planets, say the astron- omers, but they must in most cases be very much larger than the planets of our system, in proportion to the size of the suns around which they revolve. As the verdict of the astronomers is that our sun is not of unusual size among the stars, but that many of these distant suns exceed old Sol in diameter, it follows that these planets whose presence we can only discover by their shutting off their sun's light from us at intervals must be gigantic indeed. There are probably millions of worlds larger than Jupiter among them. In fact, there may be many much greater ts in bulk than our sun, which Is said to be in volume 1,300,000 mes more than the earth. * This discovery must impress thinking men and women as rothing has before with the thought of the immensity and : . opinion of our fat and unscrupulous Czar?

If Gov. Stephens really wants to bring order and efficiency out of the disgraceful conditions that make for disorganiza- tion in the Police Department let him ask of his Police Com- missioners and demand an answer to the question, which the Post-Dispatch has repeatedly asked: WHY WAS AN EFFICIENT SERGEANT REDUCED TO MAKE ROOM FOR A PATROLMAN WHO HAD BEEN RE- DUCED FOR BRUTALITY? : Let the Governor supplement this question with another: WHY DID THE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS CONSENT TO THE WHITEWASHING OF THIS SHAME- FUL WRONG BY A FARCICAL PROCEEDING? The Governor will have no difficulty in Ascertaming the facts. He will find members of the Police Board who have yielded to the disgraceful course of the Board, but who are ashamed of their connection with it. The investigation will prove conclusively that the management of our police force is rotten and needs a thorough overhauling. Will the Governor put himself in the position of the Board? Will he indorse the gross injustice of Vice-President Lewis? Will he submit to the control of petticoat influence? = = —— —- Regular Circulation of the Post-Dispatch last Suoday, 122,286. = = The St. Louis boy of 11 who wants to know “if they will take him in the navy,” as he wishes to “knock the dickens out of all the Spaniards,” is an evidence that the patriotism of Young ‘America has suffered no decline since the Boston boy faced a British General with the demand that the red- coats should not be allowed to interfere with his sliding down hill.

The record of the Standard Oil monopoly seems to show that Mr. Rockefeller may have money to burn in the next world. The Italian writer who has just been killed in his 32d duel, if his spirit lives, now realizes that the pen is not mightier than the sword. With the Klondike demand for Southwestern eggs, the goose that produced the golden article will not be missed. The South- western hen has aright to feel encouraged. Mr. Rockefeller should volunteer to man Uncle Sam's big gun, every firing of which costs $50, By vigorous practice he could fire away a good deal of the money that flows into his pocket every time he breathes. The Ohio jester's idea that Mr. Dingley's hat band might be ex- pected to play God Save the Queen“ may do much to stimulate our trade with England, and thus increase the revenue so much needed to cover deficiencies. Gov. Pingree has formed an important political combination with Millionaire Pack. Mr. Pack’s name is suggestive of the manipu- lation of conventions, and the two P’s may prove very formidable to the Nurthwestern monopolies. Our two largest battleships, the Kentucky and the Kearsarge, are to be launched on the 24th, the Kentucky with pure spring water, the Kearsarge with wine.

(And vet : ) 7 Joe McCullagh turn in grave. 1 two weeks is enough to mabe beat | set all Paris @-tajking, but more than a quarter of @ century age a literal transia- tion was made of it gnd presented under the title of “Edmund Kean.” It, too, was short lived and condemned by men supposed to know about such things as a remarkable mixture of trash and flubdub as untrue to English manners as an ill-advised foreigner could mrake it, and depicting in no way scenes from the real life of its actor hero. In that day there were no energetic press agents and the public was not upon the footing of intimacy with the actor and his private life as it is now, a fact which easily explains why “Edmund Kean” and “Genius and Disorder” failed to strike the popular taste. With the changing of the times the barrier between footlights’ and front row have been swept aside. The public knows che actor fairly. well, and the great mass it doesn’t know it flatters itself is not worth knowing. Therefore when Mr, Coghlan writes in a masterly fashion a story holding up his pro- fession in a light the public, the gossiping, jealous, envious public, most dearly loves to see, he not only entertains, but his audi- ences go home feeling instructéd. In The Royal Box,” which was pre- wented at the Century Theater last night by Mr. Coghlan, he unmercifully clubs the calling which is meat and drink to him from Alpha to Omaha, as the variety come- dian would express it. He depicts the nar- rowness of nature of the natural-born mum. mer, their trucking flattery to the man who perchance stands above them in their profession, the disorders“ in their concep- tion of morality and honor and he tops it all off by telling a stage-struck . young woman that which an eminent English critic recently wrote of stage life, and so called down upon his head the wrath and indignation of every man and woman in the dramatic profession, namely, that the back door of a.theater is the grand en- trance to perdition and that every theatri- cal manager is a vile creature, whose name is a trade mark for all that Is bestial and corrupt. If the devil himself ever broke loose from heil and made his way to a pulpit in a white surplice to yawp about sin and vice he does so in “The Royal Box.“ A man fierce in his passions for the wife of an- other, subjecting her to risks that mean social exile if detected, and at the same time cautioning a young girl against the Snares and pitfalls she is about to en- counter in adopting an actrezs’ career, do- ing so with all the tenderness and solicitude of a father, is something new, indeed, and as unreconcilable as it is novel. But leaving "the sentiments of the play out of the question, Mr. Coghlan’s acting as Clarance, himself an actor, is a con- vincing rebuke to the old saying that it is only a poor workman who quarrels with his tools. His methods upon the stage are a revelation to those who have taken for their standard of art the work of certain good-looking young leading men exploited of latter years in what has come to be known as the dress sult drama.“ Mr, Coghlan, it will occur to any one who sees him, does nothing without reason. He is master of himself At all times, If he crosses the stage to conclude a speech or if he sits down to await the lines of another, you may be sure he is accentuating an effect which soon makes itself felt, and if he does not lift a hand in the delivery of certain passages you can assure your- self that the gesture, if made; would have weakened the effort. It is in this ability to control self, to modulate the voice, and to portray the various emotions by facial ex- pressions without a jarring series of grimaces that Mr. Coghlan excells. The technique of his art is most forcefully pre- sented in his scene with the royal box— one of the regular stage boxes of the theater in which sit three characters of the play. Tragic, emotional and withal natural, he leads to the climax subtly and as no actor could without true dramatic tempera- ment to guide him. Much more than this commendation could be written of Mr. Coghlan’s individual performance, but it is enough to say that all admirers of artis- tic acting should go to see him, His company is one of marked excel'gnce. Mr. Russell, an actor little known in the West, is handsome and intelligent in his portrayal of George, the Prince of Wales, a really splendid fellow, who knew how to perjure himself like a gentleman quite as well as another Wales a little further down the line. Mr. Stanley does a clever bit 4s an English constable and Mr. Brunning rescues a difficult part in the Swedish ambassador and places it on a level with Clarence, the actor (Mr. Coghlan), Miss Elizabeth Garth has no great opportunities in her role as the Countess Felsen, the ambassador’s wife, but she plays the part acceptably. Miss Grace Filkins as Celia» Pryse, the stage-struck girl, gives a charm- ing performance. The splendid list of vaudeville attractions at Hopkins’ this week does not eclipse the drama. The stock compagy handles Petit and Simms’ strong play. Master and Man,“ in a most creditable manner. The piece is one ot the best yet attempted in a popular price theater in St. Louis and the cast is equal to the requirements. It is handsomely staged and the foundry scene in the fourth act, when the enraged workmen are wrought up to such a pitch that they determined to throw Humpy Lo- gan into the flery furnace, was heartily ap- plauded. It is hard to say which of the vaudeville features on the bill are most in favor. There is Bessie Bonehill, who is always popular in her impersonations, Bert Coote and Julie Kingsley in a nonsensical but funny skit; Ben Harney and his coal black coon, who illustrate rag time music; the Silvers, who sing illustrated songs; the Savans, who do a grotesque acrobatic act, And there are others. Every turn is mieritorious and the lengthy programme is one of the best the patrons of Hopkins’ Grand Opera House have had the privilege of seeing this sea- gon.

Miss. Mary Boyd is an enterprising widow, whose feminine instincts have told her that women in business, as in art, need not pa- ‘rade their domestic status if they would quickly and permanently succeed. Miss Boyd has opened a barber shop near Nineteenth and Wyoming streets.

Boyd died two years ago. was face to face with necessity. She kept the shop open with hired help, but she soon saw the possibilities of income in do- ing the barbering herself. So she took down her husband’s sign, packed the chairs and strops and razors and brushes, and came to St. Louis. Here she swung a new sign into the atmosphere of Wyoming street, and it bore the strange device of Miss Boyd, Barber.“ “I deemed it necessary at the beginning,” she said, “to have a man assistant, but after three weeks I find there is no objec- tion to my work, and that the customers all wait for me. So my assistant goes, and this shop will be hereafter run by me. “IT have heard from a reliable source,“ said Mrs. Boyd, with a pretty smile, that Mayor Ziegenhein, who lives not far away, is going to honor my shop with his patron- age as soon as his whiskers grow.“ A REPUBLICAN LOVE FEAST.

One Hundred and Sixteen Descendants of Old Bartholomew Have a Reunion. JERSBPYVILLE, III., March 7.—A reunion of the children of Bartholomew Chappell, who was born in England in 1783 and died in this country in 1867, was held here yester- day at the residence of Mrs. Minerva Chap- pell. There were thirteen children, six of his first and seven of his second wife. Of these but six are living, to-wit: John B.

There were representatives of four gener- ations present to-day. The whole number living is 116. John B.

N ~ SPORTING MEN THE COUNTRY OVER NOW TALKING ABOUT IT. HIS VISIT TO ST. LOUIS. Two Physicians Take a Look at the Kid and Pronounce Him a Wonder- fully Strong Man. — Kid McCoy made a hit with all the people he met in St. Louis last Saturday. He looks, dresses and acts like a gentle- man, and has but little to say about prize fighters or prize fighting. “lll put up my money to fight any of them, and if the don’t accept it won't be my fault.“ That was about all he would say about matters pugilistic. While in St. Louis McCoy visited the Press Club, and while there he stripped to the waist and punched the neg for the benefit of the press men and their friends. Dr. Amand Ravold and Dr. I. N. Love were among the little crowd of spectators, and both expressed themseles as greatly surprised at ony . muscular showing. Dr. Ravold, talking about this latter, said: “McCoy has a most wénderful pair of arms and shoulders. His left erm particularly shows fearful strength, and his hittin power and his whole frame and gener action would indicate that he is a most powerful man and a born athlete. His chest and shoulder development are the more remarkable owing to the man's age. He is only A, and so has not yet reached his full growth, Of course in height and reach he has attained the limit, but he will grow broader and stouter all over, and in the next five years may develop into one of the strongest men that ever lived. All the experts who saw McCoy were of the belief that sooner or later he would at- tain the very top of the ladder in the box- i ing line. Xe index to his character was given Satur- day night. It was late and all hands were petting ready to leave for home when a painter“ uested McCoy to come up rest. The Kid in reply to the invitation eaid: “I am going right to bed.“ . That's right,“ said Dr. Love, a man in our line who knows when to go to bed 8 sure to prosper.” MeCoy left for Indianapolis at noon yes- terday. He will box a few rounds there to- night, and on Wednesday he will be in Cin- cinnati closing matches with all the big fellows who care to do business with him. The New York Evening World has inter- viewed men all over the country as to Mc- Coy'’s right to the championship in the event of Fitzsimmons refusing to meet him. All sorts of opinions are given on this core. The Post-Dispatch published a few St. Louis opinions, but the Evening World covers the country. Here are a few of the opinions published in it: Tom O' Rourke—1 don't fhink McCoy has any right to claim the é¢hampilonship just because Fitzsimmons will not agree to fight him now. McCoy should fight Peter Ma- her first, and if he defeats him, then he will be in line for champlonship honors. Sam Austin—McCoy is certainly deserving of some recognition, as he has acted in good faith, has posted his money and livcd up to the regu.remenis of the prize ring. I think, however, he should fight Maher first, and that the people in this country will not regard him as the champion until he has done so, Pat Powers—I think Fitzsimmons is en- titled to at least a vear's rest. Then if he is challenged by a fighter who is willin to put up enough money for a side bet, and refuses to fight, the pugillst who has chal- lensed him can claim: the title by default. William A. Brady—McCoy has no right to Claim the championship, He should, first of all, issue a challenge to fight any heavy- weight, Fitzsimmons included, ‘for the championship of the world. If no one ac» cepts his challenge at the expiration of the Stipulated time, then he could lay claim to the title. MeCoy should fight Maher, as Peter is as much entitled to the champlion- Bhip as the Kid. John Duffy, who has been the referee in Feveral championship fights—I think Me- Coy should claim the championship if Fitz- simmons doesn't fight him. If McCoy has the money Fitz ought to fight him. Jim Hall, the only man who claimed to have ever defeated Fitzsimmons—Fitzeim- mons and Corbett have both retired—one by choice, the other by defeat. Maher and both have money.

One Bookmaker Will Control the Booking at Each of Those Racing Points. It is not yet settled what will be done with the betting privileges at the Fair Grounds this year, but in all probability all bookies will be allowed to draw in and no one man will be given control of the ring. This was the plan followed last year and it proved popular. The one man business under Frank Shaw and Alex Ullman, tried yeara ago on the other hand, proved very unpopular, Still the one-man scheme is to be tried again at some of the race tracks this year, / George C, Bennett will have sole control of the betting ring at Newport, with Eddie Austin in charge of his interests.

The driver was regaling himself within the bar. A few loungers, emoking but allent, seemed dozing the noon- tide away. Loring stepped to the side of the vehicle and drew forth a leather vailse, ewung it to his shoulder and strode back to where the Colonel stood pondering under the canvas screen. “Good hefting power in that right arm of his,” muttered one of the loungers to 4 mate pra wied full length on the sand be- neath the shelter of a tent fy, and watch- ing the officer from under his — — grun assen he only reply. 8 — I. r belongs to? * No. 1. “No, but it's cavalry,“ was the murmured answer. “Saw him etraddling a broncho at Maricopa Wells, last week.

He had discarded his linen coat and trousers in favor of a pair of brown cord breeches with Hualpai leggins and light spurs. A broad belt with knife and re- volvers was buckled to his waist. A silk handkerchief was loosely knotted at his throat. A light-colored felt hat was pulled down to his eyebrows and dust-colored gauntieta were drawn upon his 1 “Bancho,” said he, “have that roan 0 yours saddled in ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, his hunger appeased with bacon, frijoiles and chocolate, he mounted and rode quietly eastward until Sancho's ranch was two miles behind, then gave the roan both rein and spur and sped like the wind up the Gila, two of Sancho's oldest customers vainly lashing on his trail.

Engler Was a Blacksmith and Had Suffered Greatly From Rheuma- tism—He Was in, Good Oircumstances. Nom at 10-year-old Amelia Engler went in- to tne kitchen at her home, 7800 Virginia avenue, Monday morning, she saw a sight that turned her childish brain—a sight that will haunt her as a distressing nightmare the rest of her days. The little girl opened the kitchen door just in time to see her father, Matian En- gier, fall upon the floor with a builet in high right temple. The suicidal shot was fired simultaneously with the entrance of the child. One distressing shriek and the girl, re- covering her presence of mind, ran to the office of Dr. Gelks, 7608 South Broadway. “My papa has shot himself,“ she breath- leesliy cried. a The doctor hurried to the scene. A glance howed him that Engler was beyond hope. eath must have been Instantaneous. The report of the shot rang out through every room of the Engler home, and while Amelia was summoning the doctor, other embers of the family rushed to the stuffy little kitchen which had so recently been ransformed by the head of the house into @ siaughter room, The dead man’s widow and his six children kneeled around his prostrate form, vainly imploring him not to die. face was pallid and his lips were mute. Firmly clenched in his right hand was tne pistol, which he held with a death grip. Some of the neighbors came and led the frantic woman and Sparen away from the ecene. They were wild with grief, and ex- citement in the neighborhood was intense. Engler was a blacksmith, 52 years old. He was in comfortable circumstances financialiy and his home life was happy. e only apparent cause for suicide was U health. For several months Engler has een a rheumatic sufferer and he has often said that unless relief came soon, he did not care to live. This declaration was never construed as a suicidal threat. Engler arose early Monday morning and ate breakfast as usual, with his family. He eat around the house after breakfast and while Mrs. Engler busied herself preparing the children for school, Engler went into the kitchen. It was just 7:40 o'clock when he fired the shot. He stood alone facing a window, as he preseed the muzzle of the gun to his temple..- Amelia, the little girl who discovered the Suicide, was a favorite child, and her grief was uncontrollable.

Fred Wasserman Kept It Up Till He Fell to the Floor. , Fred Wasserman imagined he was making @ charge on Spain when he butted his head against the cell door at the Fifth District Station Sunday night. The pris- oner was arrested for yelling, “Hang the Spaniard!’ and “Long live Cuba!“ thus disturbing the quiet of Sunday. When Turnkey Grifln went to quiet him Wasserman vigorously objected. e bucked the iron bars three times and then fell in a faint on the floor. The cell door was apened and the injured man lifted to his feet. It was found that he had sustained a severe scalp wound. Tie was attended by Dr. J. I. Soraghan of 2218 Madison street.

Successful Revival Meetings. The revival meetings which have been held the last week by Rev. David M. Conn at Hope Congregational Church will con- tinue every evening this week and per- haps longer. Aa the result of the evangel- ists work there have been many conver- sions, the number at Sunday's meetings being espec ally large.

MORE CUTTING „ * Operators in the Belleville District Say They Will Have to Fol- low Suit. — —— — Another strike of Illinois coal miners Is probable. The Big Muddy men have ac- cepted a reduction. That is expected to lead to cutting by other companies, and that would inevitably lead to trouble. The Big Muddy Coal Co. of Carterville | has made a contract with the miners in its employ, at a cut of 6 cents below the Spring- field scale, or 30 chats a ton. The contract is to be in effect for one year from April 1, the date on which the Springfield scale goes into effect. Tho officers of the company give as the reason for the cut that on account of ship- ping distance and local conditions the com- pans cannot compete with others under the pringfield scale. They claim that the Con- solidated and Madison companies purposely arranged the scale so high that they could control the market, The Madison company claims this cut is unwarranted because the Big Muddy wv -rks a very large vein and secures extra prices on its procucts. Officers of other companies say that if the Big Muddy is permitted to cut they will have to do so also. The scale for Belleville, Mt. Olive and Glen Carbon is % cents, or 10 cents more than the scale called for under the new Big Muddy contract. Operators in these three places will not, they claim, be able to compete against the Zig Muddy company with its advantage of 10 cents, especially as the latter is in the hands of a receiver and can ask and ob- tain the protection of the courts in the event of trouble. The matter has been called to the atten- tion of the officials of United Mine Workers of America and suitable action will be taken to if possible avert a strike. A peculiar feature about the cut Is the claimed fact that it is entirely. acceptable jo the men employed by the Big Muddy. 1 ! MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING. Man Was Wounded, but the Police Did Not Find Him. “A man shot and killed at 1535 North Broadway, was the message sent to the Fifth District Station at 10:30 o’clock Sun- day night. Two officers were immediately cetailed on the case. Charles Speers and famliy live at the number given: They heard three shots fired in the hallway adjoining their home. Investigation revealed no clew to the mis- creant. As the officers was leaving they saw two men run down Broadway. One appeared to be wounded. He fell once, but arose kuickly and got away with his com- panſon. Policeman Hare pursued them, but they had a good sort and eluded him. No one about the neighborhood heard any quarrel at 1535 North Broadway, nor does any one 1 who sent the message to the police station. THE ST. LOUIS TURNVEREIN. A Programme of Unusual Excellence, Followed by a Hop. The entertainmént, followed by a hop, given by the St. Louls Turnverein at their hall, Fifteenth and Chouteau avenue, Sun- day night, was a great success, every seat being pre-empted long before the exercises began. Mr. Arnold Pesold, in a violin solo, a vocal solo by Mr. Charles Hein, a harp and ‘cello duet by Miss Adele Ghio and Mr. P. G. Anton, a plano selection by O. A. Moll, a aN solo by Miss H. Stein- brecher, with violin, harp and ‘dello ac- companiment, by Mr. Pesold, Miss Ghio and Mr. Anton; a quartette by Misses Ghio and Moll and Messrs. Pesold and Anton, a solo by Miss Steinbrecher, with harp and ‘cello accompaniment by Miss Ghio and Mr. Anton, and a skipping rope roundel by the girls of the third class of the Turn- verein were the features of the programme. On Wednesday evening, March 16, the an- nual meeting and election of officers will take place. CONTINUES ALL WEEK. The Opening Sale of the Season at the „Broadway.“ The event of the week is the grand open- ing sale of the “Broadway,” the great fur- niture, carpet and house-furnishing estab- lishment at the corner of Broadway and Locust. To-day the beautiful store was thronged, the lovely weather affording the ladies a fine opportunity to madulge their tastes in fine household equipments with which the “Broadway's” six great floors are crowded. Much has been written about the “Broad- way“ and its wonderful collection of furni- ture, carpets and everything needed for the complete equipment of a home, but words utterly fail to convey an adequate idea of the charmingneses of this beautiful—this su- perb—establishment. Its owners have the experience of a life- time to guide them. Their one grand idea is to overshadow. In point of variety, im- mensity and quality the “Broadway” is cer- tainly a long way ahead of the times; while in low prices it is a veritable marvel. Then its policy of extending credit is another grand feature. This season promises great things for this up-to-date “house and its army of patrons. ‘Ite opening sale continues through the week.

HAS RETURNED TO HER MOTHER Father Dying in the Hospital From Wounds Inflicted by McNamara, Who Committed Suicide After Killing Caroline Schaller. Sophia Leindecker, 17 years old, de- clares that she will kill herself if her neighbors don’t stop gossiping about her. She is the daughter of Joseph Leindecker, who is dying at the Alexian Brothers’ Hos- pital from a fractured skull, for which George McNamara, who killed Caroline Schaller and himself a week ago, was re- sponzible. Sophia returned to her home Monday after a mysterious absence of four days, during which her friends and the police sought high and low for her. She will not tell where she was, but says that she was planning to do something desperate and at the last moment was stopped by the thoughts of her mother, her injured father and the great love for a man who is the foundation for the gossip and of her trouble. Though a child in years, Sophia is wom- anly in appearance and ardently in love. She is a Catholic, her parents are Catholics and so is her lover. His name is James Morgan, a thrifty glass-blower, who lives at 1802 South Broadway. Morgan. had a wife, Mrs. Mary Morgan, and though they were divorced in the courts Sophia’s mother and the neighbors say that only death can separate them. Wife No. 1 defies her former husband to wed. She is an inmate of the City Hospi- tal and has attempted suicide so many times the police find it difficult to keep a record. She hurled herself in front of a locomotive, attempted to jump into the fur- nace where her husband works, has taken poison a dozen times and on numerous Ooc- easions she has endeavored to dash out her brains against the iron bars of a police station cell. Leaving the City Hospital a few days ago Mrs. Morgan called at the Leindecker home and after telling Sophia that she knew all about the love affair between the girl and Morgan, said: “But you can’t marry him. The church —- it. My death alone will set him ree, No doubt vou both woul? like to have me die. Well, I've tried to kill myself more times than you are years old, but I'll try no more. I'm going to live now, if it’s only to spite you both.“ The scene created by the woman started the neighbors to gossiping. Mrs. Lein- decker, a peaceable old woman, heard what the neighbors said and took her daughter to task. She told her she must give up Morgan. Sophia became hysterical. She declared that she would rather die than forsake her love, and putting on her hat she ran into the street. The neighbors saw her go and said she had probably gone to the river to drown herself. That was Wednesday night. Mrs. Lein- decker informed the police and they searched everywhere for her. The mother feared the worst, but Sunday night, as mys- terlously as she had left. the iri catered to her home. She wouldn’t tell where she had been or give any explanation of her 1 8 5 “These gossips are to blame for all of this.“, she said to a reporter Monday ~ ing. “I am just desperate about it all. They seem bent on telling lies about me, and when mother took up their talk it was too much. I am so tired of it all. “They say because of religion I am not to wed the man I love. Well let it be so— isn’t that enough for a girl to stand? If they don’t stop talking scandal about me I will do something desperate. I won't stand the'r gossip any longer. Where was I? I was where I could have my peace of mind. I wonder if the law cannot help me retain it.“ Mrs. Leindecker wept as the girl told of her troubles. “You will not go away again, Sophia; you know I am all alone now,” said she. Poor mother, I wouldn't have come back but for the thought of you and how it would have grieved you,“ replied Sophia, gently stroking the gray-haired woman. RUN OVER BY A SUBURBAN CAR. George Franzel, Six Years Old, Will Lose a Leg, Perhaps His Life. George, the 6-year-old son of Mrs. Mar- garet Franzel of 5609 Manchester avenue, was run over by Suburban car No. 3099 of the Benton division Sunday afternoon. He is at the City Hospital and will probably die. If he lives he will be a cripple, as amputation was deemed necessary.

ATTEMPT MADE TO WRECK IT. Miscreant Had Put an Obstruction on the Northern Central Rail- way Tracks. An attempt was made to wreck car No. 17 of the Northern Central street railway last Sunday night. But for the timely action of Motorman Dennis Cronin, the car would have been hurled from the track down a dangerous embankment. The wreckers selected an isolated spot on Natural Bridge pad for their work. Nearing the ont of the run and late in the night, the car was dashing along at lively speed when the motorman saw an obstruction on the track ‘not more than 100 feet ahead. He stopped the car so suddenly that the few sleepy passengers on board were unseated and the conductor, standing on the rear platform, was almost knocked down. Investigation revealed a heavy plank, 8 feet long, 8 inches wide and 2 inches thick, on the track. The plank was placed par- alel with the rails, and it was weighted down with a big piece of cord wood. S.x fect further and the car would have struck the obstruction. The wreck was well planned, for there is a 6-foot ditch alongside of the track at the point where the obstruction was laced. Loss of life would have resulted had Motor- gr ere failed to stop the car just when S ( 0 The motive for the attempted wreck is a mystery. The most generally accepted theory is that it was the act of some per- son with a grievance against the railway. Robbery could have hardly prompted the attempt, as nearly all the passengers usu- ally leave the cars before they reach the point where thé obstruction was encoun- tered, The been olice were notified, and officers have tailed to investigate.
