March 9%.—Th jury in the case of Sheriff Martin his 66; deputies for the shooting of strik- ers at Lattimer, Sept. 10, this morning re- turned a verdict of not guilty, after being out since 6 o'clock yesterday evening. ‘When the jury retired last evening they took only one ballot, and it was unanimous for acquittal. It is said the jury was pre- pared for a verdict before leaving the box. After the jury had been thanked aha dis- charged by Judge Woodward, District At- torney Martin asked that the defendants be required to continue their bail bond as there are still 17 indictments for murder hanging over them, and 38 for feloniously wounding. The bond was continued as re- quested. ‘ District Attorney Martin says he has not decided what to do with these other cases. The prosecuting committee, it is said, will insist upon further prosecution. Here are the important facts in the Mar- tin case: . Sept. 2, 1897, the miners began marching. Sept. 6 Sheriff James Martin arrived from Atlantic City and swore im 82 deputies. Sept. 10 the Sheriff and 66 deputies killed 19 miners and wounded 3% at Lattimer, where they were going to urge miners to Soin the strikers. Oct. 27 the Sheriff and deputies were in- dicted for first degree murder and felonious wounding. Feb. 1, 1898, trial began before Judge Btanley Woodward, Wilkesbarre, Luzerne County Courthouse. Prosecuting Witness ex-County Detective Isaac CC. Deckert, also Hazelton prosecuting committee, Rev. Father R. C. Aust, Matthew Qong, P. F. Loughran, John Neweth. Prosecuting attorneys: County Attorney T. R. Martin for the State, James Scariat Sennen eee Pe Lowshrom tov prose cuting committes, Defense attorneys: John T. Lenahan and‘ H. W. Palmer, George H. Troutman, F. W. Wheaton, George 8. Ferris, C. W. Kline, George Urquhart. Fourteen indictments were nolled. February 2, jury completed: Eli Weaver, laborer; C. R. Shaw, carpenter; Aaron Foll- ropemaker; Alfred Stevens, clerk; A. a ahielda, carpenter; Harmon Gregory, Laroon, tinsmith; C. C. Ransom, contracting bullder; B. M. Wood, farmer; J. B. Oxrider, carpenter; H. M. Wolfe, farmer; A. W. Washburn, carriage maker. The contention of the State was that the strikers were peacefully marching on a mission and were unarmed; that the Sheriff was unwarrant- was at the command of the ocoai companies, which had no just ground for complaint of any preoeding action or prob- able action of the strikers; that the strik- acting within the rights of citi- in refusing to obey commands of the‘ and | * | e Sheriff when marching in orderly manner nd without expressed or intended menace; and that the killing of the miners was de- liberately planned and executed for pur- poses of corporate revenge and intimida- tion, inasmuch as the Sheriff and deputies, knowing that the Strikers were unarmed and reasonably and rightly expecting them to stand on their rights in declining to dis- erse, had planned to fire upon such re- Coal be made; further, that..the killing of the strikers was proyed brutal and wan- ton by the fact tbat the greater number of the wourded and dead were shot from be- hind after they had turned to flee. The contention of the defense was that the mining district was in a state of terror; that the Sheriff had reason to look for rioting and that under these conditions his word should have been supreme with all citizens who were inclined toward order; that the firing did not begin until beside refusal to obey the Sheriff's order the strikers had assaulted him and borne him to his knees and when his life was placed in danger. The charge of the court was practically instruction for acquittal. The judge in his charge discussed the nature of the office of Sheriff, his powers and duties, wens: "To disobey the summons of the Sheriff is to be guilty af a misdemeanor and shall subject the offender to the punishment of fine and imprisonment. “As the employer has no right to compel a man to work who does not wish to work, 60 also is it true that the a et has no right to compel his fellow workman to quit work if he wishes to work. And the com- ulsion denounced by the law is not alone hat which consists in actual physical force, applied by one set of men upon an- other. It may consist in a course of ac; tion tending to overawe, or frighten, or stampede a body of men who are anxious to work as well as in laying a violent hand upon the individual workmen and forcing them by main strength to abandon their emplo ent and unite in a strike. “It Is certainly true that both at West Hazleton and at Lattimer the great body of the strikers failed to obey the Sheriff when he ordered them to disperse, and in- sisted on pushing on. Nor can it be doubted that the Sheriff had the right to issue the order. And, if it was the right of the Sheriff to command the crowd to disperse, then it was the duty of the crowd to obey his command. The right to give the order implies the duty of obedience to the order, and disobedience to it is ev.dence of a riotous purpose. “If I push on when the Sheriff orders me to stop I do so at my peril. If under all the evidence in the case, you are not satis- fied beyond a onable doubt that the Sheriff and his posse were impelled by a criminal or unlawful urpose, then the doctrine of the law which the common- wealth invokes, that, where there are many defendants the criminal act of one of them is under certain circumstances to re- garded as the crimina) act of all, has no place in this case. “The orders of the Sheriff were not to fire unless he gave the word, or unless his own life was in danger, and he was so situated as not to able to issue an order—or un- less the deputies themselves were in dan- ger vf losing their own lives by an as- sault upon them. “The settlement of disputed points re- ae the shooting of men in the back y the jury may be important, upon the question whether the posse comitatus ody ty ged a legally constituted body, did or did not become an unlawful assemblage, y reason of any subsequent determina- tion 8 disregard the law and commit Pcrim DR.

Mén Prétended to Be Stock Raisers and Got Rid of a Lot of Counter- feit Before They Were Discovered, Two counterfeiters were captured near Washington, Mo., at 1 a. m. Wednesday, after an exciting chase and desperate strug- gle. Two others who were with them es- _caped, and are now being pursued by City Marshal Edward Krekel of Washington and a posse of angry merchants. The particulars of the discovery and cap- ture were received here by United States Marshal Lynch, who has sent Deputy Mar- shal Edward Brennan to the scene. Three white men and a negro entered Washington, coming from the west, a week ago. The white men claimed that they were looking for @ suitable place to locate a stock ranch. They had plenty of money—doilars and half dollars—that have since been dis- covered to be spurious. A hotel keeper and several merchants who transacted business with the men have @ small bag full of the stuff. The discovery that it was counterfeit was made by a local bank clerk, who informed the City Marshal. The counterfeiters, ever alert, had left their lodging place and driv- en out of town. ey were tracked for miles atong a wagon road which runs parallel to the Mis- souri Pacific tracks, where the abandoned wagon was found. A little farther on the four men .were camping in a stretch of woods. They were ordered to surrender. There was. a struggie, during which sev- eral shots were fired, and the negro and one of the white men escaped. * The other two were handcuffed and driven back to Wash- ~ ton, while the posse continued after the oO rs. The Marshal did not telegraph the names of the men. He informed the’ Marshal here that the negro was a desperado and ex-convict. Information was received later that bloodhounds would be presed into ser- vice. Still later came the statement of one of the prisoners, alleging that the negro and white man who escaped when the makers of the counterfeit and that they thad an entire plant located somewhere. United States Commissioner Gray issued alias warrants for the two captured men and they will be brought here Thursday. SMALL ROADS LOSE IDENTITY.

STRONG BOX OUT $240,000,000 This Amount Will Go Toward War De- fenses, Exclusive of Colo- nial Expenses. ; LONDON, March 9.—The presentation of the British naval estimates yesterday (in- creasing the expenditure by $7,202,000, adding to the personnel of the navy by 6,340 men, and providing for the building of three new battleships, four armoured cruisers and four sloops of war), has benn received with much satisfaction by the press and public. The total appropriation for the year, $118,890,000, has never been exceeded. he nearest ap- roach to that amount was in 1894, when 117,520,000 was appropriated for the uses of the navy. Adding this year’s naval appro- priation to the army estimates over $240,- 000,000 are to be expended on British de- fenses for the year, exclusive of the amounts to be spent on the Indian army and the armies of the self-governing colonies. The naval estimates show that surveys are in progress for works at Bermuda, Jamaica, the Island of Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope. DEPEW BREATHES EASIER. ) > Panic Averted, He Thinks, by Defeat of the Maximum Rate Law. NEW YORK, March 9$.—Discussing the ‘decision of the. United States Supreme Court in the Nebraska maximum freight rate case, Chauncey M, Depew, President of the New York Central Railroad, says: “The contention of the men who framed the Nebraska law and of the people in other Western States who agree with them has been for years that the Legislatures have the right to confiscate railroad prop- erty within the States by fixing rates so low as to leave no return to stockholders and bondholders. If the doctrine had been sustained by the Supreme Court there would have been a panic in railway securities. There is now in bonds and stocks of rail- ways about $10,000,000,000, and most of the in- vestments of the country are based on these. If that investment can be rendered worthless over night bill jammed through the § Legislature and approved by a governor in three hours, nobody would invest in such property. “The decision of the Supreme Court ia just what every sound lawyer and business man expected it would be. It gives stabilit to investment, and will help not only rail- way investinents, but all other American business and securities. In other words, it is a declaration from the highest court that property is safe in this country, and that the accumulations of industry are not to be distributed by hostile legislators. TURNED FROM HOME TO DIE. Father Admits His Brutality Toward a Sick Boy. by a “IT am sick; turned out of my father’s house to die.’’ So said Fred Grashaus, 17 years old, to a policeman who found him on the sidewalk at the northwest corner of Ninth street and Lafayette avenue Tuesday night. The policeman called a patrol’ wagon and had young Grashaus taken to the City Hospital, where the doctors declared him afflicted with a severe case of typhoid fever. The youth was so weak he could scarcely raise his head from the pillow on his cot, but he faintly reiterated the statement that he was not allowed to stay at home. Capt. Young detailed an officer to make investigation. The officer called at the Grashaus home, 1863 -Menard street, and togk Valentine Grashaus, the boy’s father, to the Third District Station. There the father of the sick boy declared met he would have nothing to do with the e. “My son has been incorrigible and I am done with him. He has run away from home many times, and the City Hospital may have him.’’ ‘ The police report that the elder Gras- haus was intoxicated when he called at the Station. He evinced no emotion when in- — that the boy was probably fatally A FAMILY'S NARROW ESCAPE. Residence of William Pohlman Burned Wednesday Morning. The handsome _ residence of William Pohiman, 4216 Natural Bridge road, and all its contents was totally destroyed by fire soon after 5 o’clock Wednesday morn- ing. Members of the Pohlman family had a marrow escape from the flames, as the fire started while they were asieep. They ran from the house just in time to save them- selves. Owing to the difficulty the department had in making water connection, the flames were beyond control before effective work was commenced. The origin of the fire is not known. Police officers detailed to investigate the fire esti- mate the loss on building and contents at about $5000; fully covered by Insurance. UNEASINESS IN THE EAST.

WASHINGTON, March 9.—There seems to be no longer doubt that Sen- ator Proctor, who was Secretary of W ar in the Harrison Cabinet, is in Cuba as a special emissary of President Mc Kinley. He is said to be collecting specific facts upon which the Presiden t will mainly base his grounds for forcible intervention. He is expected to return to Washington before the Feport of the Maine Naval Board is 0 blished. IT IS FOR SPAIN TO SAY WHETHER . OR NOT THERE SHALL BE WAR. ecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 9.—It is for Spain to say whethér or not war shall pplant peace, In the opinion of nearly every member of Congress, no power can now stay in- ryvention in Cuba. There seems to be no doubt that the President has made up is mind. All that he is waiting for is the report of the Maine Board and the re- rn of Senator Proctor, when all the facts in his possession wi!l be placed before bngress, with the suggestion that the time to stop the barbarous war in Cuba and move the menace to American lives and American interests on the island has ar- syed, It is pointed out by those who favor this policy that the broad grounds of hu- manity furnish sufficient cause for this contemplated action. But added to this, the fa¢t is clearly established that Spain is powerless to crush the Cuban rebellion, and the verdict of the Maine investigations will demonstrate that under present condi- tidns the United States cannot in safety send a warship to Havana to serve as a place ofirefuge or méans of delense-for Americans, whose lives are in constant peril there. So that it will be’seen that it rests with Spain to say if there shall be war. she listens to propositions for relinquishment of the island to the Cubans, peace will tinue; if her pride shuts out the light of reason, then war will follow the first p made by this country in the policy of intervention.

HAVANA, March 9 (via Key West, by the Post-Dispatch and World Tug Con- fidence.)—I am fortunately able to definitely state the exact position of Gen. Lee in respect to real Spamish attacks upon his official conduct and alleged Spanish de- mands for his recall. He knows nothing officially about the demand for his recall. What he gathers from the scanty and often contradictory cable notices in the local press constitutes his sole information on that subject. Under no circumstances will he leave Havana until expelled or recalled. Gen. Lee has noted some things decidedly nof favorable to Spain’s course of war and has thus sometimes merge walk State Department. This has been particularly so regarding Spain’s offer of allege autonomy, which now even its own originators regard as a farce and so state. Lee’s views on this question were only confidentially expressed to the State De- partment. They leaked to the Havana Government’s ears. About six weeks ago Congosto saw fit to write a note to Lee wishing to know if it was true that Lee’s views did not prognosticate glowing victory for the extensive autonomy reforms lately in process of emplantation in Cuba. In itself this query was a grave breach of diplomatic etiquette. A Government official’s reports to his superiors are supposed to be sacred. However, Congosto seemed to think that had Lee such ideas his position in the eyes of Spain would be decidedly “persona non grata.” He plainly threatened Lee with a Spanish demand for his recall if he would not rescind such pernicious ideas. . Lee smiled and grasped Congosto’s “bull” by the horns. He answered that should an official document be inscribed containing the mentioned reasons for his recall, and should it then be signed by all officials of Havana and Madrid, that he (Lee) would then take great pleasure in affixing to the document his own signature, and would forward it, thus completed, to the Government of the United States“ Immediately Congosto subsided and the “incident” was. closed. Gen. Lee considers that another sore point with new autonomical “secretaries” may be Sigsbee’s alleged oversight in not having called in turn upon each of the men, though he already completely and exactly fulfilled the naval regulations and his in- structions in calling officially upon Gen. Parrado and Spanish Admiral Manterola, Congosto having designated them as the proper persons. But the Autonomical Cabinet, whose power lies chiefly in its title, did not like it, and Congosto inveigled Gen. Lee and Capt. Sigsbee into an informal call at Cabinet headquarters in the pal- ace, after an official visit upon Blanco. The autonomical secretaries were quickly gathered together and every effort was made to give an official tinge to a strictly accident visit. Capt. Sigsbee, of course, said he would be glad to receive the gentlemen person- ally aboard the Maine. They went en masse and proposed an absolutely unexpected toast of official sig- nificance. Sigsbee rose to the occasion and returned their personal sentiments with- out one word of reference to either Government or autonomy. A typewritten report of his answer, made at once thereafter, shows this, although the Havana press quoted him as drinking to the success of Cuban autonomy. The Cabinet of secretaries did not like that, either. And Lee as the man of most prominent position has been covertly attacked ever since the occurrence of the three episodes mentioned. As regards the charges of communicating with the insurgents, Gen. Lee dubs them as absolutely false. Outside of sending an agent in an attempt to save Col.’ Ruiz’s life, as authorized by Blanco, Lee has sent no word to the field. As to receiving “‘presendados” and captured rebels in the Consulate, Lee con- siders his duty to send all possible information from both sides to Washington and to receive all callers at the Consulate duririg his regular office hours. Gen. Lee smilingly likens his position to that of the Senator from Rhode Island, in 1861, when State after State was seceding, who said in Congress: “I see your game, gentlemen; you're all going to secede from the Union and leave Rhode Island to pay the national debt.” One thing may be very definitely understood: leave Cuba until after the present crisis. He is firm and cool. here and, although hated by Spaniards, is much feared. Congosto said to-day that the cerrespondents were to be expelled with the “authorization of Gen. Lee,” whatever that may mean. It is reported that Clara Barton has discharged several agents for@he distribution of reconcentrado food on ac- count of dishonesty. They sold canned¥goods to grocery storekeepers. Miss Bar- ton is doing nobly and is seeing that every pound of American charity goes to suffer- ing ones. Sheis ably seconded by practical assistants now. There is an impression in naval circles that the Maine question will pfobably be referred to an international board for investigation. Some members of the American board say they are sorry the first investigation was not so made. Contradictory reports are certainly to be expected from the two commissions now at work. SYLVESTER SCOVEL, \ Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. WOODWARD SAYS SPAIN CANNOT RAISE FUNDS FOR WAR PURPOSES. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 9.—A cablegram just received from Minister Woodford has been laid before the Cabinet by the President. The Minister declares that Spain has exhausted every means of raising money for the prosecution of a war without success. All the financial centers of Europe have rejected her overtures. Gen. Woodford pronounces it an utter impossibility for Spain to secure funds with which to engage in hostilities against the United States. In reference to the political conditions which impelled the Ministry to sug- gest the recall of Gen. Lee, Minister Woodford says that Sagasta is friendly to the United States and will make every possible concession to preserve peace. The future danger, said Gen. Woodford, lies with the people. With a hostile ma- jority in the Cortes, and the probability that this will be continued at the forth- coming elections, the overthrow of the Sagasta Ministry is not unlikely. The suc- ceeding Ministry would be pledged to war in order to avoid revolution. If the Sagasta Ministry retains power, Gen. Woodford believes that Spain would endure humiliation rather than declare war against the United States. HAS AUSTRIA COME TO SPAIN’S RELIEF? Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March §.—Austria has advanced to Spain: a small loam with which to make a pretense of war preparations. This was done because of the rela- tionship between the Emperor of Austria and Queen Regent of Spain. No further funds will be advanced and Spain will not be givea any assi by Austria in the event of war with the United States. This is the explanatio ! given here in diplo- ae he sce Pak Gen.

WASHINGTON, March 9.—It has been definitely determined by the President to make Fitzhugh Lee a Brigadier General in the event of war with Spain. If a call for volunteers is made each State must;furnish its quota according to population. Officers above the grade of Colonel are appointed by the President. He decided that when the Virginia contingent is raised the Brigadier-Generalship shall go to Fitzhugh Lee. | THINKS SPAIN WILL MAKE A GOOD SHOWING ON THE SEA.

P., of Gateshea mA a ship-bullder and ‘practical sailor, to your correspondent last week. Anothef report current in the lobby was that the United States Government had of- fered 90,000 pounds for Capt. McCalmont’s famous steam yacht, Giralda. She steams 20 knots, has a colanalamed of 1480 tons and is fitted under the requirements of the Brit- ish navy for use in time of war’as an un- armored cruiser. She has 10 machine guns. The Giralda is at present at Algiers, nnd it is stated that the offer of the ted States is conditional on her being henden over at Gibraltar within five days. She is obviously wanted as a dispatch boat, if at all. Another report was that Spain has pur.- chased a cruiser from the Barrow sgship- building company. The Post-Dispatch im- mediately wired to its correspondent there | to investigate the matter. The following re- _ ply has been received: “The manager of the Barrow ship-build- ing company told me: ‘We are building only for the British Government and have no warship. available for sale to | Jatel we had any inquiries — from late y. ’ rf? on the Clyde said to “T consider that the “United States. will find Spain a ‘hard nut to crack. “IT know positively that Spain is hunting not only for cruisers, but for eight fast steamships, which are to be converted in- to unarmored cruisers and fitted with quick-firing guns. “She has been on the lookout for some | weeks, but the difficulty was, of course, the. money.

"In view of the extraordinary event in the House of Repre- sentatives yesterday, we may appropriately adopt as the nationa) motto the Words “United we stand.” It was without parallel in the history of the United States. Following @ campaign of exceeding bitterness, the House of Representatives, without a dissenting vote or voice of pro- test from a member of any party, voted unquestioningly to place the purse of the nation in the hands of the President for the national defense. No stronger measure of peace, no more effective stroke in behalf of national honor and dignity could have been taken, It Was a message to Spain that the American people are a anit in the determination to uphold, at any sacrifice of blood and treasure, American honor, American rights, American principles and American interests. It was a notice to the world that Americans stand together for America against every for- elgn menace. But this remarkable vote of confidence lays a heavy burden upon the Administration. It pledges the President to meet promptly, wisely, effectively the crisis now confronting the nation. Two great ends are guaranteed in the acceptance of this vast sum without.a question as to its use—the vindication of the national honor and the relief of the people from the men- ace and horror at our doors by the liberation of Cuba. = = " rr Regular Circalation of the Post-Dispatch last Sanday, 122,286. ~¢ 6 @ —___ ——_ —- When we are getting ready to drive Spain out of America is not a @00d time for the introduction of the decaying Spanish language in the public echools, = = " a TOO MUCH SMOKE.

On i The School Board could find no money to pay for free English text books for the poor, butdit can @nd enouch to pay for the luxury of the Spanish lariguage for pupils able to go through the High School, To only the few persons who expect to en- gage in business in Spanish-American countries is the Spanish language of practical use and it will not long be needed by them. Spain is decadent and the last vestige of her power will soon be swept from this hemisphere. The Spanish Americans are learning English much more rapidly than we can learn Spanish. There are many things needed by the public schools of far more value than instruction in Spanish. /~ ie se THE GOVERNOR'S RESPONSIBILITY. jov. Stephens through his power of appointment controls the police force of this city. He is responsible to the people for its management. Whatever the Board of Police Commis- sioners does is done through authority derived from the Gov- ernor. When the Police Board is guilty of a shameful act of injustice or of gross mismanagement which tends to demoralize the force and to bring the Board into disrepute the Governor, un- less he interferes and shows his disapproval by rebuking the Foard and dismissing the offending members, assumes respon- sibility for the disgrace, An efficient sergeant has been reduced. to make room for a patrolman convicted of brufality, at the sQggestion of a woman whoisa friend of Vice-President Lewis. Is Goy. Stephens willing to accept responsibilty for this shameful injustice? Does he indorse it? Does he approve of the demoralizing and debasing rule of the petticoat in the police department? La, Li ii i i The Chicago Federation Of Labor is supporting Mayor Har- rison in his fight against the corrupt Council and declares it- self in favor of municipal ownership of all street railways, If the Yerkes boodling shall end in Chicago’s street railways passing into the hands of the people, to whom the streets be- long, the resultant gcod may overbalance the present evil. It will at Jeast be a lesson to greedy grabbers throughout the country. If there is any country Spain should léve, after loving her- self, it is the United States of America. We have refused to recognize Cuba; we have put up with great commerctfal lossés: we have spent much money to prevent filibustering: we have fed Spain’s starving subjects, and when our great ship was blown up and our seamen murdered in Havana harbor we said, ‘Wait; it is an accident.””’ What is Hispania’s grievance? — oe ‘The promised increase of wages on the L. & N.

With the con- stantly augmenting demand for Southern products and the growth of exportation by way of the Gulf there seem to be brighter days ahead for Southern roads. +o “One good thing has been accomplished by the Spanish affair | —it has caused ‘Dixie’ and ‘Yankee Doodle’ to make up,” says a careless contemporary. “Dixie’’ and “Yankee Doodle” made up long ago.

Baron Steengract {is properly considered the most extravagant men in all Helland— the home of economy and the safe haven of thrift. Perhaps it is because the gay baron lives in London most of the time that he has acquired the habit of extravagance: lie satrontnal the barber shop of Truefitt, a famous shaver in the Burlington Arcade, where London dandies since Beauv Brum- mel’s time have been shorn of locks and beards. A telegram was received by Truefitt a few days ago from the Baron, dated St. Petersburg, saying that he would be in Ber- lin at a certain hotel on such a date, and desired that a man be sent from Trtefitt’s to cut his hair. The man was sent as de- sired and cut the Baron’s hair, returning to London the following day. The Baron promptly paid the bill, amounting to £33, or about $10, which covered the expense of the trip and was perhaps the largest amount ever paid for a single haircut.

GIRL’S STORY CORROBORATED. ‘A Sister of the Prisoner Adds Her Tes- ,_ ttmony—The Girl Bitten on the Cheek When the Moth- er Was Enraged. Mrs. Ada Kats, keeper of a restaurant end rooming house at 611 North Twelfth Street, is a prisoner at the Fourth District Police station, nominally to answer a charge of assault upon her li-year-old daughter, Pearl Grooms. The girl and Mrs. Katz's 16-year-old sister, Maggie Shanks, in mak- ing a statement of the assault to the police assert that Mrs. Katz has been guilty of using them for immoral purposes in order to io the family purse. rom their story Police Captain Joyce is lead to denounce the case as the worst in- Stance of depravity that has ever come un- der his official observation. He has the two young girls confined in a cell as re- mote from that occupied by Mrs. Katz as he can arrange, and is holding them as wit- nesees against her, Warrants charging Mrs. Katz with assault and using the children for immoral purposes have been applied for. Mrs. Katz is only 4 years old, but she has a history. She has been an ,"‘extra giri’’ in a spectacular road show, and hae also traveled with several vaudeville companies, appearing in the customary ‘“burlesques’ and singing serio-comic songs in the olio. Ae a muchiy married woman she eclipses the famoua record established by an Amer- ican prima donna, for Katz, her present lord and master, is the fifth on her list. The brutal assault upon Pearl Groome, marks of which the girl bears upon her face and. head, was committed at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mrs. Kartg does not deny that she gave Pearl a _ terrible trouncing, but she says she did _ so because her daughter had been. indis- creet and was withholding from her the details of the indiscretion. She inti- mates that her rage and desperation were of the quality that made Virginius slay his daughter, and declares that when she seized Pearl's cheek in her teeth. and bit into the flesh she muttered: “If you don’t tell me the truth of this affair, so help me God I'll kill you.” Pearl says her mother was prompted by no such righteous indignation, but was simply enraged because the daughter neg- lected to tise early and make the kitchen re. She says her mother had been away rom home over night on a carousal, and that when she reached the house at 6 o'clock she was too drunk to talk or to know what she was doing. In this asser- tion Pearl is backed up by her young aunt, Maggie Shanks. It was Maggie Shanks, who, becoming alarmed that her sister might injure Pearl Groome for life, dashed out ef the house and cailed Policemen Mc- Grath and Coleman, who arrived on the ecene just in time to pull the frantic wom- an off the body of her all but unconscious daughter. Pearl Groome’s cheek bears the regular, red prints of her mother’s upper and lower teeth, and her forehead is a chain of knots and bumps, raised by her mother’s knuckles and the contact of her head upon the hard floor. Both girls tell a straightforward story in such a manner that the police and every one else who heard it are convinced ef their truth, “About three weeks ago,.”’ says Pearl 6, “mamma told us that we were not making enough money to live on. She told us to go out and get money, to get it the best henge A we could: she didn’t care just so we got it. If we didn’t get it she threat- ened to whip us, and several times when we came back without muney she carried out her threat. Some of the money we brought her we made ‘working’ the wine- rooms. You see, every time a girl coaxes @ man into spending $1 for drinks the pro- rietor gives her 20 cents of the money. We u to make a good deal on these commissions, and the other money we made we got just as my mother instructed us to et it, eCorhree nights ago Dan Williams, a young man who has been coming to see my mother at regular intervals, called at the house with two strange men. Mamma talked with them for a time and then one of the men, whom I know only as ‘Joe,’ gave her She put the money in her cket, pointed to me, and with Dan Wil- fama and the other man went out of the ouse, leaving me alone with Joe. He gave me something to drink, saying it would do me good. It was whisky I learned after- ward, and it was heavily drugged. I be- came unconscious and did not revive until midnight. When I came tol found Maggie eaning over me, I was on the floor tn the kitchen. Maggie told me Joe had been gone rom the house for half an hour. I would now Joe if I should see him again. He gen- erally hangs around the Klondike saloon at Twelfth street and Washington ave- nue.” : Manyie Shanks not only corroborates this @tory but telle one almost as etartling in which she was the central figure. “Laet night another man whose name is also Williams came to the house and told my sister he wanted to see me,'’ says Mag- gie Shanks. “‘He gave my sister some money and she handed me $1 of it, telling me to out for a walk with the man. We walked to Twelfth and Olive streets, where he stopped on the corner and asked me to 6 with him to his room. I did not wait to ell him I would not go, but ran away from him and never stop until I reached home, My sister induced me to come from Mont- rore, o., where I was living with another eister, Mra. Skillman, three months ago, and as 1. was here without friends I was forced to do as she said when she sent Pearl and me on the etreet to make money.” Mrs. Katz denies that she has been mar- ried five times, but her daughter and si\s- ter declare that she has four living and one dead husban She was first August Groome of Kansas City. her and took the daughter with him. re. roome .became Mrs. Charlies Pol- lard. She was left a widow, and then she married Sam Matthis. He was soon dis- satisfied and Mrs. Matthis became Mrs. Albert Robbins. She and Robbins failed to agree and she next married Hugo Kats and came to &t. Louls to live about five months ago. Kats te an engraver and is gaia to be employed by the Great Western rinting Co, ; Pearl’ Groome says she lived with her father in Kansae City until six months ago, when she was enticed from him by her mother, She says her father is well aware of her mother's character, and that she will try to go back to him if he will let her. t any rate, she declares she will never tive with her mother again. Mag- gie Shanks is also anxious to return to het mother in Clinton, Mo, She says her fam- fly isa well connected tn the State. Both rie are good king and intelligent and show in conversation that they have been given the aSwantage of good schooling. The police are hunting for the ‘Joe’ spoken of by Pearl Groome. Capt. Joyce says the man will be found and made a party? to the charges preferred by the girl.

LOUIS NAVAL RESERVES, POSSESSION OF THE MISSOURI. indton Men Ordered to Turn In All Equipments and Get Ready for Duty—Oolored Oompany ' Being Formed. The passage of the bill to provide for two additional artillery regiments has en- livened things about the United States Army Recruiting Station in the old Fed- eral building at Third and Olive. streets. Immediately upon the President's signa‘ ture of the measure, Secretary Alger wired Capt, O. J. Sweet, the local recruiting of- ficer, that 1600 men were needed for the artillery regiments and he would consider all applications until otherwise directed® Capt. Sweet put out a modest sign Tues- day calling volunteers for the heavy and light artille service. “ifty applicants presented themselves at the station before the office was closed for the evening. Not every man was accepted, but the Captain has enough good soldiers in sight to say that Missouri will be well: represented in the little army of recruits. The first detachment from St. Louls leaves Union Station Thursday evening for the Government barracks at Columbus, O. After the first lot the men will be for- warded in squads of 10. ° The Columbus Barracks is one of the rendezvous. From there the recruits wil! be sent to stations along the coast and thoroughly drilled. There are now five regiments of artillery and a seventh of each will be taken to make up the two new regiments, and en- listments will go on to make up the com- plement of all seven. Capt. Sweet is pleased at the class of men that are presenting themselves for army service, which he says shows that the true patriotism of the civilian has been deeply stirred. artilleryman is not as easily made as infantryman, but the new men will have @ example of the old soldiers, and all seven regiments will be almost immediate- ly effective. e J POSSESSION OF THE MISSOURI. Naval Reserve Officer Now Stationed on the Steamer. The eecuring of the practice ship for the St. Louis Naval Reserves brought a rush of*applicants to the Armory Tues- day night. Many new .ames were added to the list, and the enlistment of the full complement is but the matter of a few days. Then there can be no joining unless vacancies occur. The steamer City of Vicksburg, now at the dock of the Vulcan Iron Works, just below the River Des Peres, bas been for- mally turned over to the Reserves, and Lieutenant Commander F. H. Hunicke has laced a watch on board. From now on the oat to be called the Miseouri will be con- stantly guarded by an officer of the service. No details have been yet agreed@pon, but Capt. Hunicke promises a display of rare novelty. Everything will be done according naval regufations and there will be same attention to detail as marks the launching of one of Uncle Sam’s most for- midable warships. Another matter that will be soon con- sidered will be the summer crulses. It has been suggested that the Missouri leave the wharf at noon Saturday, returning Sunday night or Monday morning. This will give the men drills they cannot otherwise get, besides proving a most attractive feature of the work. A chaplain will be supplied and on Sun- day the men will participate in divine wor- ship as on ehipboard. TO EJECT FATHER TUOHY Writs Have Been Served and the Priest Will Fight the Case. to the The papers in the ejectment sult against Father Tuohy of St. aPtrick’s Church were served on the priest, his mother and sister, on Tuesday and the cases are docketed in Justice Hennessy’s court for March 18 at 2p. m. Archbishop Kain sues for posses- sion, $0 rent and $100 damages for the al- leged unlawful possession of the premises by the defendants, In this phase of the long conflict, as in most all other questions involved, Father Tuohy and the archbishop hold Glametri- cally opposita opinions. The heery of the archbishop’s suit is that all parish property is held in trust by the archbishop. All property is deeded to him and he will@ it to his successor in office. In cases where no will has been found the courts have vested the title in the suc- ceeding archbishop to be held in trust. In this case the archbish sues as trustee. Father Tuohy contends that parish 4% erty belongs to the people of the parish. In support of th’s he cites the case of St, Charlies Church, Detroit, in which both the civil and ecclesiastical courts—even to Rome iiself—upheld this doctrine. But Father Tuohy does not expect that the question of title will enter into the case. His position is that while his appeal is pending in the ecclesiastical courts, both as to the attentates and the main issues, the Archbishop hase no right to take any action, and that in no similar case on rec- ord has a civil court ever Interfered to srojudice the case of elther party. Father uehy wl be represented by McDonald & Fauntleroy. A high canonical authority writes to a friend of Father Tuohy to the effect that the “Archbishop's course is unwarranted by the rules of the apostolic oar Washington court, and if he has resorted to the civil courts, so much the better for the cause.”’ Father Tuohy has tpen expecting this ac- tion since Dec. ®, when the Archbishop wrote, threatening him with a recourse to the civil courts unleas he moved from the priests’ house. Thie was answered by Father Tuohy, through his counsel, as follows: “I would be sorry to see Your Grace car- rving out the threat so unjust to my client as contained in Your Grace's letter. It is not fair, as I respectfully eubmit, to try to deprive my client of his natural rights of defense. The case is before the court of opeee prescribed by the third Plenary : cil of Baltimore and des*gnated by the Aparieee Delegate. We await the decision of this court and hope that the rights of Father than J will not be further unjustly cally invaded.”’ Father Tuohy considers ‘‘that he is in the court by the law of his ite finding, and the from a@ canonical st — ‘ noel a te i the be *t mae all the tt 2 ing In the church courts.” or HIGH SCHOOL FAD, GENERAL CONDEMNATION oF THE BOARD'S PLAN TO HAVE * SPANISH TAUGHT. IT IS AW USELESS EXPENSE. English Recognized as the Commercial Language in Mexico-and South America. The action of the Public School Board in directing the addition of the Spanish lan- guage to the curriculum of the High School, is generally amad generously condemned by the taxpayers, who cannot understand why this expensé of $3800 a year should be added when the board is notoriously slow in the construction of grammar school buildings that have been long demanded, and when every dollar of school money is needed for additional accommodations. The plea that a knowledge of Spanish is required in order to develop the commercial] interests between St. Louis and the South American Republics, is held by local mer- chants to be errant nonsense, since they have not found unfamiliarity of the lan- guage a bar to their progress. Besides, they ig ge | maintain that the Spanish tongue is fast disappearing from the South- erg countries, where English is supplanting it rapidly because of large intercourse with England and the United States. One merchant said: ‘‘The Spanish-speak- ing people of the South are learning Eng- lish, under the spur of necessity. Why 6hould we teach Spanish in our schools as a mere fad? The commercial agents of in- dusiries in this city who are compelled to read, write and speak Spanish, have acquir- ed it from service in the South. na few years, at the rate a knowledge of Eng- lish is spreading through Mexico and her sister republics, even the Spanish-speaking agents we now have may be dispensed with. What folly, then, to set up panish as a fad, even though it be optional? I can see some reason why French and German may be provides, if the High School pypil wishes it, but a language that ie disappearing from books and from the social aad commercial relations of the world is worse than useless for public school peepeess. Taxpayers are weary of paying their money for such non- sense ae this.”’ Director Schroers, as chairman of the Committee on Rules, is the father of the Spanish propositon, while Prof. Woodward is its stepmother. Both made arguments in its favor Tuesday night, the professor DOOR ne in his usual dictatorial way, the timid objections offered by mem- bers of a practical mind. Fact is, the board is already appropriat- ing money out of next year’s revenues in order to meet the urgent demand for more grammar‘*schools. It is being properly condemgmed for adopting a useless fad in the ‘High School, literally throwing away $500 a year, when it has not a dollar to spare. WHAT A TERRIBLE THING IT IS TO BE POOR.

Janesville, Wis. BILL BAXTER. THE NEW ENGLAND HIRED MAN, His Moral Character Is Very Different From What Is Used to Be, From the Springfield Republican. The Worcester Gazette draws a forcible moral from the Brookfield tragedy by point- ing out the dangers which the rural home suffers from the hired man since the native farm hand, whom Mrs. Stowe immortalized in the character of Sam Lawson, gave way to roving casual workers of unknown an- tecedents and without certificates of char- acter. That notorious criminals often find this a convenient way to seclude themselves when in trouble is wel! known, and, as the Gazette says, “‘the farmer never kndéws whether he has invted a leper or a wolf into his home when he engages a hired man.’ And there is no exaggeration in this statement of the case. “On the average farm the young sons are compelled to daily associate with men who are often vile in speech and vicious in char- acter, They are even obliged to sleep with such fellows, an experience which many a former farmer boy afterward recalis wth a shudder. The stranger oan jest with the roung aes and if he proves agreeable may nd his attention acceptable, espec'ally where other young men with the superficial enya of the world’s contact are scarce. he father who carefully excludes the suitors in town whom he may consider un- desirable will allow his daughter to meet the hired er J at the table and converse with him at the fireside during the long winter evenings. With such opportunities and the character of the men engaged on the farm it is no wonder we have tragedies such as the murder of Christine Warden ang the extermination of the Newton fam.- y.”" THE JUDGE Exempted the Young Man’s Diamond From Seizure. From the Chicago Inter Ocean, A young man in Kentucky who had not found it conventfent to pay a tatlor’s bill, was brought up on a creditor’s bill by the cruel tallor before a very kind-hearted Vice- Chancellor, who lL ked the youth. He was handsomely dressed and wore a costly dia- mond stud in his shirt bosom, but declared under oath that he had no property except his wearing apparel. The talilor’s lawyer claimed that a dlamond stud was not an surrender, but the Judge ruled that the dia- mond button held the parts of the shirt together, and its removal would lead to indecent exposure of the person. Then the lawyer urged that the shirt was of the new kind, which buttoned fn the back, but the Judge met ths by saying: “The presumption of the law its that shirts button tn the front, and the court does not judicially know that shirts ever button im the back.

LAND WANTED FOR CORN. Farmer Gau Threatens to Break Up This Peculiar Settlement in the Interest of Agriculture. Tite odd little cave settlement just south of River des Peres and near the Iron Mount- ain Railroad tracks is threatened with de- struction, and the inhabitants may be com- pelled to seek other homes. Farmer J. C. Gan, who has a lease on the ground, says he intends to run a plough over the field. He intends also to cut down the surrounding trees. Then he will turn the place into an immense cornfield. An account of this strange village of cave dwellers was given in the Post-Dis- patch gome months ago. There were then three caves and seven residents. Since that time there has been an increase to four caves and ten inhabitants. All are men. ‘These caves are all built upon same principle and are about the same size, six feet long, six feet wide and about the same in height. The ceilings are of willow logs, the walls either covered with tin or boards and the floor of wood. All of the caves save one have two bunks, one on either side, running parallel. The exception has four, a double row of bunks on either side. In this the oldest inhabitant, Henry Sanders, chief de facto, lives. with three other men, Henry Scott, Philip Young and Jack Brown. In No. 2 are William Nel. son and John De Fex: in No. 3, Bill Brown and Mike Scotty, and No. 4 is occupied by Henry Evert and Joe Willlamson, who came late in the winter. ; The caves are built In an embankment and are furnished with a few cooking uten- sile, such as an iron pot, a skillet. tin cups and a few knives and forks that have seen better days. Instead of linen and blankets they use ordinary corn sacks for bedcloth- ing. Their food is not the most nourishing and consists chiefly of bread and potatoes and occasionally when one of the residents has been paid for work or an odd job he buys coffee for himself and neighbors. The cornfield formerly ended near the cave settlement and was a source of food to those who remained through the summer. Sanders says Farmer Gau has even gone sa threatened to break up the caves if he (Sanders) got married and brought his wife there to share his miserable existence, which he fully intended do. Sanders said Gau’s reason was that he (Sanders) might steal vegetables from him in summer. Gau told him that women could not help cooking good things to eat, if the were to be had around and the aronouell etables. Gau has not given the residents of the cave village direct notice to leave, but he notified Sanders of his intentions, and the dwellers expect to be told to leave soon.

An aged colored woman, a typical ante- bellum “black mammy,” trudged up the steps at the Four Courts Wednesday morn- ing shortly before 7 o’clock. She carried a shiny black satchel—a vivid reminder of the good old days. Looking about timidly the “black mammy” settled her satchel on the floor in the corridor. Then she sat upon the satchel. ‘I’se waitin’ heah fo’ t’ git let in jail; I wants t’ see Chahley Pawker, I does—he's my youngest boy, my baby boy,” she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “What is he in jail for?’’ the reporter asked. ‘*'*'Deed I doan "no, honey; guess he wus jes trowed in jail, ’cause he nuver done sumfin’ baad in his life. I’d most as lif be daid es t’ hev@my boy in jail.”’ The old woman told her story. She had heard of her son's incarceration and had traveled all the way from her home at Lexington, "-Mo.—to her a long journey—just to see the boy. : When Deputy Jaller Will Wagner reached the Four Courts he admitted the old wom- an to the jail. “Charley Parker, on the sunny side,’ called a guard, which meant for Parker to come to the front. The meeting between mother and son was pathetic in its simplicity. “Doan you fret, honey; I’se a-goin’ t’ see th’ jedge an’ jes tell him you’se my boy, an’ he'll turn you loose,’’ was the assur- ance given the prisoner by his mother. Parker is in jail on the charge of bur- @lary and larceny. The Women’s Sleeves. From the Hartford Curan’. So the ladies are goin sleeves this season—tight all the way up? That’s what they say, ‘“‘Deborah.’’ There's no use looking for a reason—this is wom- en’s styles we are talking about. But if we were golng to 7 it, we'd begin with the manufacturer. That would the milis have done through the hard times had it not been for the Increased demand for material for the women’s eleeves? Add six yards—or is it twelve yards?—to every dress pattern in the land, and you see at once how greatly enlarged a production is called for. Increase in supply could hardly lessen price; first, because it would not ex. ceed demand, and second, because it's women's goods. What women have to have they have to ‘have, and it can be charged to the (nominal) head of the family. But now that the times are better, that more men are buying clothes and that looms long silent have begun to go clickety-click again, the women are no longer called upon to help out the manufacturers. They’ve done nobly in the past, as they always do in an emergency, and we appreciate It. Hasty Repentance. From Tit-Bits. First Friend: So he married in haste.

It is also an acknowl- associate the names of Lee, Longstreet | edged and accepted fact that almost every- body needs and should take a spring medicine. Now therefore is the time for the sick to get well; now is the time to take Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy and be ctred, as you surely will be cured, if you take this grandest and most highly recommended remedy in the world. As a spring medicine to strengthen and tone up the nerves, purify and enrich the blood, invigorate brain, muscle and body, as well as regulate the action of the stomach, liver and kidneys, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy surpasses anything the world has ever known. In fact, Dr. Greene’s Ner- vura is the ideal spring medicine, the rem- edy which outclasses all others, the rem- ody which everybody calls for and insists upon having at this season—tMe one sure medicine upon which the people depend to give them health, strength, vim and generals of the Rebellion.

On the plea of being very busy writin the record of the week's session, he ha excused himself to everybody else. There had been something of a scene before the edjournment that morning. The court was ordered to try “such other might properly be brought before it,” and it was understood that two deserters, cap- tured at Tucson, had announced their in- tention of pleading guilty and throwing themselves on the mercy of the court. Hig- gins had been sent to Fort Yuma. It would take long weeks to get the evidence in his case from New Orleans, but the two victims at Cooke knew well that their case was clear.

PITIABLE CONDITION OF AN OLD MAN WHO ONCE WAS WEALTHY. 7 DESERTED BY HIS RELATIVES. A Neighbor Sends Him Coffee Every Morning, but a Son Who Lives Next Door Is Too Busy to Give Aid. The neighbors of aged Frederick Freun- ning, who refuses to vacate his old home- stead. 4930 Arsenal etreet, and has taken refuge in his cellar, say that an effort will be made to have him placed in the oity Poorhouse. The suit ordering him to va- cate, though it may be appealed and con- tinued for a short time, can result only in the old man being compelled to leave, #o they believe. Anton Laux, who claims that he loaned Freuenning $5000 on a deed of trust against the property, says that he gave the old man more time than the law allows to pay the loan, and that he is out money on the eal Mr. Laux told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the old man has well-to-do ohi dren, ould care for m. ¢ * Rhodes, who lives in a cottage next door, which Freunning once owned, said that the children, grown people, are not assist- ing him. és erhe poor man is half starved now, said she. “I am not well enough off myself, ne aid him some.

I don’t know of anyone else who gives him a helping hand, except that once in a while his daughter, Mrs, George Kuchenbuch, sends him a basket of eat- ables. It has'been some time since he has heard from her. There is a son, t00o—a namesake of his father—but he never calls to see the old. man. A visit to the unfloored basement room verified Mrs. Rhodes’ statemeht regarding the empty larder. Half of an Irish potato was the only semblance of food seen. The old man was seated on a bench, his head resting on his hands. He seemed to be thinking. He was too occupied to answer questions, or else he did not want to, Around him in great heaps iie the once magnificent furnishings of his home, Sev- eral weeks in the yard and months in the damp basement has made a pile of rubbish of it. Possibly the most picturesque feature of the wreck of his bygone wealth is a tall, wide, old-fashioned, rusty, crumbled sur- rey, which stands in the rear yard. For ears it has not been used. The family orse, it was learned, was sold, but for some reason the vehicle, which must have been costly when new, was never on the market. It remained out of use and slowly fell apart. Frederick Freunning, Jr., the favorite son, owns several teams, and has a large barn, which adjoins the land recently taken from his father. He can see the basemént window, that lights his father’s er 4 lodging, from his comfortable bed chamber in the big roomy frame where he lives. “T don’t know what will become of the old man,” said he to a Post-D'spatch re- orter, “in fact I don’t know much about he case. I know the house was once his property. I lived there for awhile, myself. “But 1 have not been living at home for years. Although I live so close by I haven't seen father for four days.’ “It is said that he is starving?’ suggested the ate F “Well; I didn’t hear of it. I knew that he was able to get around and thought he was getting food from somewhere.” ‘Where will be when he is thrown out of the basement? “Won't no where, I guess."’ ‘Is your sister, Mrs. Kuchenbuch, well off?

So at Least Think the Men Who Are Familiar With the Work of the Two Players. A special from Brooklyn this morning an- nounces the signing of George La Chance by the St. Louis club. Manager Tim Hurst signed La Chance to cover first base for St. Louis. Hurst wanted Tucker, but as soon as that fact became known several clubs went hunting for the Washington first baseman. Brooklyn landed Tucker on Monday, and on Tuesday gave Hurst an opportunity to secure La Chance’s services for the Bt. Louis club. La Chance, who since 1894 has been the first baseman of the Brooklyn club, was born Feb. 15, 18%, at Putnam, Conn., but learned to play ball at terbury, Conn., where he afterwards took up his residence. He played as an amateur for a number of Seasons, and gained considerable local re- nown as a fielder and batsman. It was while playing with amateur clubs at Waterbury that he attracted the atten- tion of the officials of the Portland club of the New England League, and in 1892 he accepted his first professional engagement with that club. In 1898 he played with the Wilkesbarre team of the Eastern League, taking part in seventy-two champlonship contests, and ranking sixth in a fleld = 124 men in the official batting averages-of that league. It wes his excellentework in general, and his batting in particular, that led to his release being purchased by the Brooklyn elub of the Nationa] League and Amerigan Association, and he finished the season with the latter club. While with the Wilkesbarre club, La Chance filled several positions In its team, notably that ag catcher. ~ It was to _ out behind the bat that the Brooklyn club purchased his_ release, but he was used ag @ general utility man after joining that eub. ‘The illness of Man- ager Foutz, however, created a vacancy at first base, and La Chance was placed there, and has been filling the sition most ac- ceptably ever since, and distinguished himeelf by his excellent fielding and hard and timely batting. La Chance did some re- markably clever batting since joining the Brooklyn club, and some of his timely hits went far towards winning games for his club. His most noteworthy performance was while a member of the Wilkesbarre club, when he was credited with five safe hits, including two home runs, a triple and two double baggers, made in one game, and in two gamés between the Brooklyn and Louis- ville teams, played on the afternoon of Sept. 1, 1894, at Brooklyn, La Chance was credited with seven safe hits out of nine times at the bat, two singles in the first game and five consecutive hits, including a triple and two double baggers in the second one. Those in the know think La Chance a better man than Tucker, and are glad Hurst Signed him instead of the ‘‘Caliope.’’ etehaaalibedaneee WORK OF THE JOCKEYS.

THE OLD CHICAGO BATTLE. How It Broke Up Racing in the Lake City and Bankrupted the Mas- ter of Hawthorne. The row between Ed Corrigan and W. B. Sink, one of the big stockholders in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, is growing hot. Sink the other day said: ‘“‘As the sport is now conducted at Ingle- side itis nothing more than a ‘skin game.’ ’ When questioned as to what treatment brought him to thi# determination when he Was apparently infatuated with the game, Mr. Sink continued: ‘“‘My horse Alvarado is a hard animal to get away from the post, and I informed Secretary Green that it was said that start- ing a horse over the hurdles improved the animal’s disposition, and asked whether if Alvarado were entered in a pompns race, he would be allowed to start, and he an- swered in the affirmative. On Saturday last Alvarado was entered in the hurdie event. In the morning of that day he worked through the stretch in 2% seconds, which fast work was observed by Ed Cor- rigan. A little later the secretary received word by telephone from Corrigan to scratch Alvarado, On going to the track my trainer asked me if I had-scratched the horse. and I told him no. On inquiring of Mr. Green the reason, he said: ‘Well, Mr. Corrikan ordered him scratched,’ ”’ “Are there other reasons for your with- drawal from the turf?’ was asked. “Yes, there are,” replied Mr. Sink. “I HERE KE EKER EKER nt ate —— = te Mr. Corrigan had been heard to say that “none of Sink’s horses would ever win a race if he could prevent it by scratching out.” He dated the antipathy of the Haw- thorne turfman toward himself from : time some two years back when he gave a note given by Corrigan to a bank for collection. “It was paid,’’ said Mr. Sink, “but I lost his friendship.”’ Corrigan’s battle with the San Francisco folks calls to” mind his old battles in Chi- cago. When he moved into the latte: city he opened the old Garfield Park track on the West Side and made over a million out of it. When he built Hawthorne he failed to cut the bridges behind him. The Han- kins-McDonald crowd moved into Garfield and ran it in opposition to Corrigan, getting all the business and putting Ed on the hog train. Then Ed started\the crusade which ended in the killing of Turfman Brown and the closing of all the tracks in and around Chicago. Corrigan then went West to build up his shattered fortunes and he was re- ported as succeéding quite nicely until this new row with his partners there was made public property. THE BREWERY PLAYERS.

As McCoy AY AND WASHINCTON A NS eS ES RE A rene i said while in St. Louis, three men have ac- cepted his offer to fight any man in the world—Ruhlin, Maher and Choynsk!. will fight Ruhlin first. It is the McCoy programme to have the fight with Ruhblin come off {n six or 12 weeks, before the club offering the largest purse, after which he will be ready to make matches with Maher and Choynski, in the order named, But should Fitzsimmons appear on the scene and acept the offer which McCoy made him then the first match will be be- tween McCoy and Fitzsimmons. There are some who laugh at the idea of McCoy fighting Fits. Asa matter of fact, however, those two if placed side by side in the ring would be found wonderfully well matchéd in so far as size and build is con- cerned, In the matter of years McCoy would appear to have away the best of it. Bob Fitzsimmons was born in Cornwall, England, June 4, 1862. He made his tirst appearance when a boy of 18 in Jem Mace’s competition, when he defeated four men and won the amateur championship of New Zealand. The next year, when but 19, in the same competition, he defeated) five men among tom Herbert Slade, the Maori, a great big feliow. So Fitzsimmons is 3 years of age and has been fighting for 18 years, or just half of his life time. He weighs in condition about 168. He is said io have g:ven Corbett 17 pounds and a beating. Kid McCoy was born in Rush County, iagane, Oct, 13, 1873. So he is just & years of age. His first fight was when 18 years of age when he won from Pete Jenkins, col- ored, at St. Paul, in four rounds, So he has oom in the ring just seven years, ere are a few figures and measurements which go to prove how in many ways a match between Fitzsimmons and McCoy should prove a very interesting one.

Talking Machine Had a Great Fascina- tion for Him From the Very First and It Gradually Drove Him Crasy, - Whether waking or sleeping John Immer listens to the undying din of mysterious wolces. Interwoven in the ceaseless ca-~- dence of the voices is the sound of soul- poothing music. + Immer is happy in the enjoyment of the Sweet strains and the many toned sounds, or he knows not that they exist only in oe disordered mind. © They are shadows of shadows. * The persons whose voices ho hears are jles away. The instruments that make he music were never played for his de- ght. Yetehe has heard them. He will ear them until science restores his reason or death comes to his relief. Immer’s parents reside at Pilot Knob near Arcadia. The spell of the graphophone is upon Im- er I'ntll he became absorbed in the study of the instrument he was mentally a well bal- anced young man. He worked hard and had no crotchets. Now the votces in the graphophone are tellng him that he is a millionaire. Until a few weeks ago Immer was houseman for Cashier W. H. Thomson of the Boatmen's bank who has a handsome residence at Ar- cadia, Mo. When the Thomson family came to their winter residence in 8t. Louls Immer was temporarily out of employment. When he went back to Pilot Knob he found that one of his friends had purchased a grapho- phone. He had nevgr seen such an instru- ment. From the first it had a strange fasci- nation for him, He visited his friend nightly and woul listen to the voices and the music with in- tense interest. He talked of the wonderful machine constantly. He bought an interest in it and induced his friend to permit him to give exhibitions to which he charged an admission fee. 7 The graphophone became the constant companion. He kept it in his room and its hidden voices and musical strains lullel him to sleep nightly. He invested the money paid him at the exhibitions in new cylinders and shunned society to listen to his new found entertainers. He never grasped the method of the’ ma- chine.

LLOYD RE-ELECTED SPEAKER. | _ Julius Lehmann Depcsed and C. W. Watson Elected to Succeed Harry Wittenberg as Speaker Pro em. The firsc notable effect of the reorganiza- tion of the House of Delegates will be the reintroduction of the North and South Rall- way bill under a different name and with slizhtly different provisions, The bill will be introduced next week, ac- cording to a leading member of the House. The reorganized House is professedly def- erential to the wishes of Mayor Ziegenhe’m, | but if the new North and South bill is passed and the Mayor vetoes it, it will un- doubtedly be passed over his veto, as with factional lines wiped out it will not be hard to bring influences to bear which wil! win over the necessary two-thirds vote, even if they should be lacking at the outset. “He tried to throw his followers and got thrown.” This is the explanation of the dethronement of Julius Lehmann ag Speak- er of the House of Delegates, and the re- election of Hiram J. Lloyd. Taking advan- tage of the weakening in the ranks of the | Bolid Seventeen, caused by the North and South bill issue, Mr. Llogd was in a fa:: way to get control of the House, Speaker Lehmann saw this; according to the state- ment of a member, and tried to get in the Lioyd band wagon by.placing his res'gna- tion at the disposal of that faction, without consulting his followers. They bolted for the wagon and old scores were evened up by throwing Lehmann out. The reorganization was effected uletly at Tuesday evening’s meeting. Mr. Weeke offered a resolution declaring the office of Speaker vacant. It carried by the unani- mous vote of the 24 members present. Mr. Pauley nominated Lloyd for Speaker and he was elected by the same vote. Wittenberg was deposed as Speaker pro tem. and Watson elected in his place. Leh- mann took a seat in the northwest corner. A recess was declared to await the report of the joint conference committee on ward revision. All the other members flocked to- Lehmann gat alone. At 7 o'clock he excused himself on the lea that he had fo attend a meeting at the Vater Tower and left. “It is just the ups and downs of politics,"’ he said. “I make no accusations against anybody. Nothing can throw me out of my composure,”’ Coudrey, Judy, Schuler and Willmore were absent, but it was stated that if they had been present they would have voted for Isloyd. Willmore, Wander Wittenberg, Madera and Hirth remained with Lehmann in spir- it. The reason given for the removal of Wittenberg from the speakership pro tem is this faithfulness, * Speaker Lieyd refused to discuss the cir- cumstances back of the reorkanization. “I was deposed before,"’ he said, ‘‘because of my faithfulness to Mayor Ziegenhein. I am still the faithful friend of the adminis- tration and if there is any significance to the reorganization it is that the House will henceforth be in complete harmony with the administration and futher the Mayor’s projects in every way.” -_ WE HAVE TAKEN Many of our $15, $18, $20 and $25 Men’s Suits left over from last Spring and marked them $10, $12 and $15.

ON THE FIRE 4n Explosion Followed and Frank Laraig Was Futally Burned. Frank Laeraig. an Italian boy, is near death at the City Hospital. His face, hands and body are swathed in bandages. He is a mass of blisters from head to foot, and he is so burned internall that the physicians entertain little hope of eqng his life. nesday morning he was very weak and the family were notified that death threatened. The boy narrowly svenges instant death at his home, in the rear of 815 North E.ghth street, at 10 o'clock Tuesday night. he fire was burning low and with the idea of preparing it for the night Laraig sought to Kindle a brighter blaze before Danking it. Hie was alone in the kitchen, both doors of which were securely locked. Removing the stove lid, he poured on the smoidering coals a quantity of kerosense oil. Then he replaced the lid and waited for the fire to brghten. The result anticipated did not come as quickly as he thought it ehould, and he again opened the stove and peered in. There was an explosion that jarred the old bullding. Burning oll spattered over his clothing. The lad screamed loudly and the attention of other tenants in the bullding was at- tracted. They rushed to the rescue, but were handicapped by the doors being locked, After a momentary delay the door was broken open. The rescuing party con- sisted of several men and women. They found the fraatic boy running arouhd in a circie, Wie movements simply fanning the flame to greater fury. With commendable prossuse of mind one of the men grabbed a lanket and wrapping it closely about the youth successfully smothered the fire. Young Laraig fell to the floor tn a faint. He wae a masa of bDilsters and was uncon- ecious when an ambulance arrived. At the City Hospital Dr. Curry expressed the opinion that the lad would not survive. Wednesday yet’ brought no improve- ment and the case is regarded as nearly hopeless. There was no damage to the furniture or bullding. To Form a Company of Colored Men. Capt. Jas. G.
