The most conspicuous figure in the last fifty years has been Queen Isabella, notorious, rather famous, who was driven from Madrid to Paris. but whose grandson is the child king of Spain, reigning through his mother, Marie Christine, Queen Regent. It is this lady alone of the royal family of Spain who excites any spe- cial interest or sympathy in America or any country other than Spain, and Marie Christine is not a Spaniard, but an Austrian. She is the daugh- ter of the Archduke Karl Ferdinand of the royal house of Hapsburg, noted for its domestic and other mis- fortunes. Married to Alphonso XII., she was, after a brief married life, left a widow with a littk boy, new the titular. King of Spain, under the name of Alphonso XIII, while she performs certain royal functions as Queen Regent. Eulalle, who ts now appealing to European rulers to assist Spain, is the third daughter of ex-Queen Isabella and aunt of the young King. Marie Christine is universally spoken of as a woman of kindly im- pulses and high character, whose counsels are for peace and humanity. : BRYAN’S TRIBUTE ° The divers are only descending now to verify former findings and to take accurate measurements of certain important port plates of the wrecked cruiser and the twisted ram, which, as I have already cabled, lies in such a position as to prove that an outside force destroyed the battleship. Chaplain Chidwick thinks that the body recovered yesterday in the forward part of the wreck is that of able seaman Herbert. The clothing is new and bore letters which are believed to be the first two letters of Herbert’s name. There are only two men whose names began thus. They are Hefriman and Herbert, The latter had just joined the Maine, only to meet his death. He was of medium height and heavily built, It is regarded as simply wonderful how well preserved this body still is. Yesterday Chaplain Chidwick and Dr. Gallagher of Philadelphia visited the Colon cemetery to see what could be done for the improvement of the ragged mounds of graveyard earth which are now the sole mark of the resting place of over 200 American dead. The gardener said that the shaping of the mounds would cost $50 now and a monthly charge right along for their maintenance. This was considered satisfactory and reasonable, buf the Bishop's representative in the cemetery lodge heard of the matter and informed Chaplain Chidwick that the Bishop himself wished to bear all the expenses. He will fix the graves and erect a handsome marble fence. The big cigar men of Havana have done a handsome thing. Mr. Bock, the man- ager of one factory, made good to the Maine officers all the cigars they had purchased for themselves and other officers of other men-of-war. A thousand dollars’ worth of cigars has thus been given to replace those now at the bottom of Havana Harbor. Admiral Manterola has courteously offered the use of the splendid new English built floating dry dock to raise the Maine's hull, but the Board of Inquiry are unable to avail themselves of the offer, as the dock could only be gotten under the Maine's shattered hull after it had been raised, and the raising itself is almost impossible. If ‘ ever this is done at all the shattered battleship will be raised a section at a time. Considerable curiosity prevails here to see America’s crack battleship lowa, now reported to be coming here to transport the Naval Board to Key West. She will make a beautiful study in black and white with Spain's handsome warships, Viz- caya and Almirante Oquendo, lying close by. The Montgomery continues to be closed to general visitors, and daily drills and the ship's routine practice are vigore ously—very vigorously—pushed. Spanish divers descended for a short time yesterday afternoon, but nothing im- portant was found by them to dispute the generally accepted belie! now that the Maine was destroyed by an external explosion.

If he succeeds in getting a permit to bury his manager it will be his first attempt in that line.

NEW YORK, March 15.—The Infanta Eulalie, who was the guest of the United States during the opening of the World’s Fair, is said to have won European sov- ereigns to the Spanish cause. : , It is no secret at Berlin that the personal yiews of the Emperor in connection with the Spanish-American crisis are not thosewf his constitutional advisers. The Infanta Eulalie, after having successfully accomplished her work of propa- ganda in favor of Spain at the court of St. Petérsbutg,” where she econipletely won over the Czar and Czarina and the entire imperial familyeto the Spanish side, was assisted in this considerably by the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess: Vladimir,, who spend every summer -at San Sebastian in daily intercourse with ‘the Queen Regent and the little King of Spain, proceeded to Berlin. ; There, according to all accounts, she completely turned the head of the Kaiser, setting her cap at him in the most outrageous fashion. His wife, the Empress, was ill at the time, and so he was able to flirt with the Princess to his heart’s con- tent. And he rode with her, drove with her, took her to-the opera and to the theater and, in fact, acted as her devoted cavalier throughout her stay. It was during a conversation at table in connection With the present crisis that he brought down his hand upon the board and declared that as long as Emperor William was on the throne of Germany, Cuba should never belong to the United States, being rewarded for this assurance by one of the most tender and captivating smiles of the Spanish Infanta. | Unfortunately, these words of his were repeated, and came to the ear of the public, perhaps through the Infanta herself. At any rate, the sensation which they made was of such a character and gave rise to so much expostulation in the Berlin press, on the part of those interested in trade with the United States, that Prince Hohenlohe, the Chancellor and Baron Von Buelow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, resolved upon the isssue of the semi-official and ministerially inspired communique which appeared in Berlin last Saturday. : Meanwhile the Infanta Eulalie has proceeded to Vienna, and thence is going to Brussells and to the Hague, for the purpose of invoking the sympathy of the Aus- trian, Belgian and Dutch courts in favor of Spain. | And before going to St. Petersburg she had previously been at Copenhagen and at Stockholm, with the object of presenting the Spanish side of the controversy with the United States. : The misfortunes of a nation such as Spain appear very deserving of sympathy, when presented by so captivating a pleader as the Infanta Eulalie, and thus what- éver may be the official views of the foreign governments, the crowned heads and reigrihg families of continental Euroge are all in favor of the cause of Spain. This fact Presidemt McKinley will bear in mind if the proposal is made by Spain to submit any of the issues at stake to the arbitration of some Old World sovereign. There are only two who favor the American cause, Queen Victoria and King | Humbert, the feelings of the former being based on the horror excited in her breast | by Spain's treatment of Cuba, and upon her conyiction that England and the United States should act in concert. The sentiments of King Humbert must be ascribed to his dislike of the Bourbons and to his hatred of the Spaniards in consequence of the treatment to which they subjected his favoriteebrother, the late Duke of Aosta, who, alter being persuaded to accept the crown, had his life made so unendurable by the people of Madrid that he was forced to -abdicate. Princess Eulalic is aware of the prejudices of King Humbert against Spain, and at the same time realizes that in the event of her proceeding to Rome for the pur- pose of endeavoring to obliterate them, she would merely place herself in an em- barassing situation with regard to the Pope, who considers that it is a personal affront when any Catholic Prince or Princes’ of the blood visits the Court of the Quirinal. The Americans who welcomed this very Infanta to their country at the time of the Columbia Exhibition with so much cordial hospitality, little dreamed that before five years were past she would be traveling from one court of Europe to another for the express purpose of inciting the ill-wil! of the crowned heads and reigning families of the Old World against the United States. PROPOSED SENATE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WASHINGTON, March 15.—The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs had un- der consideration to-day the resolution instructing it to make an investigation of the Maine disaster, and decided by a vote of 6 to 5 to postpone action for the present. This action was preceded by a sharp exchange of words between the advocates of immediate action and those who think the active investigation should be deferred in order to permit the Administration full opportunity to press its own investigation through the Naval Board of Inquiry. After the decision was reached not to go on with the inquiry to the extent of summoning witnesses, it was suggested that steps should be taken by the committee to secure from the Navy Department all the infor- mation in its possession, and this suggestion was adopted, It is understood that the postponement was secured by Senator McEnery join- ing with the majority of the Republicans, and that Senator Chandler voted wen the opposite for immediate and independent inquiry. — SPI ORDER | ATOR LARGE PROJECTILES.

This still holds good now. This done, the Executitve desires that Congress shali end its seSsion. : The prime motive of Mr. McKinley is to make intervention in Cuba successful without wer.

NEW YORK. March 15.—A dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso says: President Errazuria stated to the Herald correspondent in the presence of the Ministers of War, Interior and Navy and Public Instruction, and Senor Eulojio Atlamarano, a prominent statesman, that Chili had no intention of selling the O'Higgins or any; other of her warships. not dare to sell the O'Higgins, as the sale might cause an outbreak throughout the country against the Government. As evidence that Chili does not intend to sell any of her ships, it is mentioned that Costa Rica tried to buy the old wooden corvette The offer was flatly refused.

Prominent men declare that Chili would MONEY TO BE SPENT ON DRY TORTUGAS. ‘ WASHINGTON, March 15.—More than half a million dollars is to be spent by the navy in making Dry Tortugas a more va'- uable strategic point. As a result of the conferences between the President, Secre- taries Long, Gage and Alger and Com- mander R. B.' Bradford, chief of the Naval Bureau of* Equipment, it has been de- termined to permit the navy to make the first arrangements for utilizing Dry Tortu- gas after its work has been completed. It is proposed to mount.a few modern guns on the site of Fort Jefferson and man them by a couple of batteries. Plans being prepared in the bureau of yards and docks, under the supervision of Rear Admiral F. ©. Matthews, chief of-that bureau, and Commander Bradford, require the construc- tion in 80 days of 2 coalhouses near Fort ‘Jefferson for at least 40,000 tons of coal. It fs also proposed to bulld two coal wharves, erect an electric light plant for search- lights and operating cranes, and make other improvements to transform the key into a magnificent coaling station. The total cost of improvement for Fort Jeffer- fon will be about $466,000. It is also proposed to dredge 300,000 cubic yards from the chan- nel around Fort Jefferson and enable bat- tleships to steam to the wharves to coal. The present arrangements at Key West are bad. Light vessels, such as the Marble- head, the Montgomery and the Detroit, can coal there, but vessels like the Iowa or In- diana class have to anchor off the station, about eight miles, and have coal brought to them on Nghters. There !s no coal on Dry Tortugas, but, if there was, battleships would have to anchor off the station abott eight miles and have coal brought to them on lighters. Secretary Alger proposes to piace only a few modern guns at Fort Jef- ferson, as the range which modern guns would have is short, and old guns now there can do effect:ve work when placed on new platforms. The work of rebuilding the platforms wi!! fommence immediately and by the time the navy has established its station everything will be in readiness. Bids for the coal- houses and wharves at Dry Tortugas will be opened to-morrow and specifications will Tequire the completion of the sheds within 30 days. It is also proposed to rash work On additional sheds at Key West and plans for two have been completed. It is esti- mated that the total cost of improvements at Key West will be about $115,000, FEARS THE NEWSPAPERS MAY CAUSE WAR.

H. M. Robert. The great- est secrecy has been maintained by the of- fieers and men in charge of the work. On Sunday afternoon the operations of a de- tachment of men, assisted by a diver, were watched from the shore by a number of sightseers. At first it was impossible to discern the exact nature of the work being done by the men on the Government tug, which had been steaming about the lower bay all morning. A telescope was procured, how- ever, and then the movements of the boat and men could be seen with ease and dis- tinctness. The work of placing the submarine mines continued all day. At least twelve officers and men were aboard the tug. On the deck PROPOSED NAVAL - Congress. navy sible conflict with Spain. that between the line and engineers by the amal- €amation of the two corps. Chief Melville, Corps, and representative officers of the line urged upon the Secretary the advisabil- ity of impressing upon the President the de- sirability of joining with him in advocating the passage of the Roosevelt reorganization bill, which was drawn up by a board of officers representing the several factions of the two corps. This bill provides for amalgamation of the Line and engineers. When the number of officers to be promoted is so far in ex- cess of the vacancies as to cause stagna- tion in the service, the requis'te number of vacancies shall be caused by weeding out the men who are less fit for meeting the heavy requirements of modern naval duty and that the enlisted men aboard ship shall be given the same reward of pension and retirement enioyed by the'tr brethren who fight ashore, while the uppermost machin- ists are made warrant officers to rank w:th the gunners and carpenters, STRENGTHENING DEFENSES OF SAN FRANCISCO. SAN FYIRANCISCO, March 15.—The land defenses of San Francisco harbor have been greatly strengthened df late and the military and nava! authorities agree chat the presence of the battleship Oregon is not essential for the protection of the port. The 10-inch battery at Fort Point has been reinforced by the addition of two guns, so there are now five 10-inch rifles in position, Five 12-inch guns commanding a fine sweep of the ocean can be pressed to bring under fire a ship attempting to pass through the narrow channel between Lime Point and Fort Point. Three mere 12-inch guns at Fort Baker, together with the 16 mortars and three dynamite guns on the peninsula can also be brought into use at long or short range. The great guns on Lime Point, nearly 600 feet above the.water, are so high that a plunging fire against the deck of a ship may be delivered. All of the for- midable weapons are so situated that their fire may be concentrated on any hostile fleet attempting to enter the Golden Gate, NAVAL RESERVES FOR OREGON. PORTLAND, Ore., March 15.—Steps were taken to-day looking to the organization of a naval reserve for the State of Oregon. At a meeting in the First Regiment armory of the Oregon National Guard, a roll was opened and 2 signatures secured. As soon as 40 men sign the roll, application will be made to Gov. Lord fdr authority to organ- ize a company. CONVICT NUMBER 5696 Luetgert Is Just an Ordinary Man on the Bertillon Register.

POLICE AS LIFE SAVERS Twelve Chicago Persons Rescued From Flames by Heroic Action. CHICAGO, March 15.—To the heroism of Chicago policemen 12 persons owe the fact that they are alive to-day. Seven of them were rescued from a burning building at the rear of 26 West Twelfth street at mid- night last night, and at about the same hour the other five were carried from a burning cottage at the rear of 8&8 Liberty Street. Officers Buckley, Hall and Fitz- | gerald of the Maxwell Street Station broke | in the door of the Liberty street cottage and found Mrs. Louis Oder and her four little ones overcome by the fumes. Officers Adlin and Fay of the Maxwell Street Station saw flames issuing from Benjamin Spiero’s confectionery store at 263 West Twelfth street and they rang an alarm. When they returned the flames had spread to R. Isaacson’s jewelry store at 265. The officers broke down the door of the jewelry store and, running to the apart- they wereina stupefiedcondition and were sieeping, aroused Isaacson and his wife. They were ina stupified condition and were unable to help the officers with the chil- dren. Each officer seized two of the little ones and carried them to the fresh air, where they were revived. Isaacson stag- gered around in a dazed condition and was shoved forward by the officers ¢o that he found the way to the street. Officer Adlin seized Mrs. Isaacson and carried her in a semi-conscious condition from the store, and was followed by Fay and Schmidt with the two remaining children. The damage by the fire was trifling. HOUSE TO TALK HAWAIL Members Primed With Speeches and Time Arranged For. CHICAGO, March 15.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: There is to be an immediate revival of Hawaiian annexation talk and this time the move- ment originates in the House. The desire on the part of the House to take, up the Hawaiian question has led to an extraordi- nary agreement, by means of which an- nexation will be discussed at length during the nominal consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill, Chairman Loud having consented to yield an abundance of time for this purpose.

A few minutes later the floating tor- pedo was cast into the water. To the bot- tom or cap of the torpedo, which was a | great, bell-like affair, a chain was attached for the purpose of connecting the mine with the anchor. It was fully fifteen minutes before the diver came up the second time. To all appearances he had moored the tor- pedo to the anchor with success. He re- moved his helmet and the tug steamed away. Every few minutes the boat stopped and the men dropped weights and lines into the bay. They were evidently sounding | the depth of the water. It was at first intended by the engineers to mine the Narrows, but that scheme was abandoned, owing to the great depth of the | water at that point. The engineers say that a complete sys- tem of floating torpedoes off Sandy Hook would render the harbor inaccessible to a hostile ship.

MINERS AND OPERATORS AGREE. Contract for a Mutually Chosen Scale Drawn Up at Chicago. CHICAGO, Ill, March 15.—Coal miners and operators of Northern Illinois held a meeting at the Great Northern Hotel here yesterday to arrange the details of the con- tract between the miners and their employ- ers in accordance with the agreement reached at Springfield two weeks ago. Pres- ident S. M. Dalzell of the State Operators’ Association presided. The question of pow- der prices, which was left to yesterday's meeting.was settled by the price being fixed at $1.75 a keg, with the undérstanding that if the price is reduced in Indiana, it wi be reduced in Illinols: A committee, consisting of H. M. Taylor and A. J. Moorshead, representing the oper- ators, and W. G. Ryan and John Pascoe, representing the miners, was appointed to draw up the form of contract. The price to be paid ranges from 36c to 680 a ton, being based on 40c at Danville. AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM. Mrs. W. E.

Roberto Bermudez, com- mander of the insurgent forces in Santa Clara Province. They had decided to sur- render and accept autonomy. Many mem- bers of their forces were ready to surren- der. This was learned by Bermudez, who held a secret courtmartial, and it was de- cided to shoot the trio. As the three offi- cers left camp to ride to the town of La Esperanol they were fired on by insurgents and were fairly rifled with bullets, Several engagements are officially re- ported in Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara Provinces. Gen.

This will be done under authority of Congress, which appro- priated $20,000 for the purpose. Ten officers of the survey will be assigned to the work in prospect, viz.: George H. Eldridge, Ar- thur Keath, J. E. Spurr, Alfred Brooks, E. Cc. Barnard, W. J. Peters, Robert Muldrow, W. 8S. Post, W. C. Mendanhall and F. C. Schrader. The latter two are to accompany military exploring parties. In addition to the above named, 18 camp men will be employ<«d. Four parties are to | be organized, under the general charge of Mr. Eldridge. Seattle will be the outfitting point, and the whole expedition will pro- ceed there about April 1. The gunhost Wheeling will transport the party. At Skagua two parties will be de- tached, the first under Mr. » pro- ceding to the Kliondike region for the pur- a topographic survey of the district adjacent to the eastern boun- dary of Alaska, the Mist meridian. The survey will extend westward from the Yu- kon, between the th and @th railels of latitude, and will include the Forty Mile District.

That meant a cost to the na- tion of the neat little sum of $3.150,000,000 Another war would hardly be cheaper. In the Franco-Prussian war of 1871 250,- 000 men were lost. In the Crimean ‘war of 1854-55 78,000 men were lost. In the brief Italian war of 1859 63,000 men fell in battle or died in the hospital. The wars of the First Empire cost France 5,000,000 men, and Charter Revision Committee to demand prompt and fayora- ble action with regard to its submission.

LENGE TO THE CYCLING CLUB, TERESAS’ POSITION. ne Manager Cahill of the Shamrocks De- fines It and Shows Why the Series Should Not Be Played. THE ST. Now that the five best players of the Cy- cling Club have gone away the St. Teresas have challenged that organization to play a series of games for the Association cham- pionship. Of course the Cyolists will not accept. But even if they did no one would pay any attention to such a series. It would be like @ series in the National League between Baltimore and Boston, with the latter minus the services of Nichols, Tenny, Long, Hamilton and Duffy. No, the Association season ended Sunday and no series on earth can bring it back to life again. If the St. Teresas want revenge let them build up a good team this year and then go after the Cyclists next fall. Manager Cahill of the Shamrocks said this —_—_—— | SPRING TRAINING ‘GROUND THE FOOTBALL MEN.'THE TURF a IT WILL NOT PERMIT JOCKEY CLUB OUTLAWS TO RIDE OVER ITS TRACES. THAT VERY RECENT RULING. President Robert Aull of the St. Louis Fair Association Explains It in Detail. President Aull of the St. Loujs Fair As- sociation was asked yesterday whether jockeys outlawed from riding in the East by the jocKey club and who had later come West and ridden at thé outlawed tracks here would be allowed to ride at the Fair Grounds meeting or Western Turf Congress tracks. The question Was ask. gd because many of the boys outlawed by the jockey club thought they had the right to ride here, owing to the fecent ruling of the congress ae aan all outlawed owners, trainers, etc., Within their jurisdiction. President Aull says that the rule passed by the Turf Congress placing all outlawe in its territory in good standing does not cover persons outlawed by the Jockey Club. Before the Turf Congress can recognize any euch persons they must produce a clean biil from the Jockey hub. $0 no jockey will be allowed to ride at the Fair Grounds who is under the ban of the Jockey Club, Boys who were outlawed for riding at Western outlawed tracks only apould 's apply at once to Secretary Moppe f the Western Turf Congress at Cincinnati for their licenses and he will forward them.

TOD SLOAN MAKES AN APOLOGY. Oakland Judges Bring Him to Account for Dismounting From E. Come. SAN FRANCISCO, March-15.—Tod Sloan has made apology to the judges at the Oak- ley track for his refusal to ride E. Come on Thursday. “I have some big engage- ments in the EFast,”’ began Tod, in accents subdued, “and I was afraid that if I stuck on that colt he would knock me out. I took him to be more vicious than he really was. When I saw Thorpe gallop away with him I regretted what I had done” While the officials accepted the apology they declined to remove the $100 fine and the jockey will have to pay it. Sloan will ride tn California for another month. Charlie Thorpe is still far in the had tn the list of winning jockeys. He has ridden over 110 winners up to date, while Clawson is next with about 8 wing to his credit. Chartreuse, the well-known race mare has been retired John Humphries wil! send her to the Kavanaugh ranch near Sacra- mento and breed her to Golden Garter, sire of Lobos.

Judging from the form shown by May Hempstead at New Orleans, she will win all the stakes in which she is entered at Mem- phis, which includes the Ardelle, for 2-year- old- fillies, and the Memphis stakes, for 2- year- -olds. at five furlongs. To each of these there are $1,000 added money. As regards the 2-year-olds in training at Memphis none of them has as yet shown superiority. Last year at this time How- land Was accorded the distinction of being the king-pin of: the youngsters, and the Gaston Hotel stakes, which is for 2-yeur- olds, was regarded as at his mercy. This season it is different. No one can name the Winner of that stake and base his opinion on work performed. Tom Hayes, J. C. Cahn, John W. Schorr, E. F.

TWO MEN WITNESSED THE ACT. ROLLED DOWN THE BANK AND INTO THE WATERS OF THE LITTLE LAKE. a HE DIED IN THE CITY HOSPITAL. Old John Mersman, for 28 Years Gar- dener at the Home of the Friend- less, Despondent Because ‘of Ill Health. , e Strolling through the east eide of Benton Park Tuesday morning Henry Parle and Frank Eckerlich espied a gray-haired old man #itiing on the bank of the lake, a few feet below the foot bridge. The old man was bareheaded and his long locks were tossed by the wind. His hat bung on a barbed wire fence near at hand. He was gazing intently into the wa- ter as if in deep thought, occasionally fling- ing a «harp, flat stone and watching it skip and splash on the surface of the lake. As the two men passed by he looked up and smiled and nodded. They nodded in re- turn and passed on. They had gone but a few steps when thep were startled by the report of a pistol shot, Turning. they saw the gray-haired old man roll down the embankment to the water's edge. A puff of smoke rose from the spot where he had been sitting. The men ran to him and dragged him from the water. There wasda buliet wound in his right temple, and the revolver with which he had shot himself lay on the bank, He smiled as they carried him up the bank and tenderly laid him on the grass. Then his eyes closed, his fingers twitched convulsively and he became unconscious, Parle remained by the old man’s side and Eckerlich hurried to the Second District Police Station. Before he could return with @ policeman a crowd of 200 or more had surrounded the dying man. No one at- tempted to do anything or call a doctor; they just stood around and looked and wondered who he was. None of them had ever seen him. The policeman called an ambulance and sent the old man to thé City Hospital, where he died at noon. In the pockets were fourids cards indicat- ing that the man was John Mersman, a gardener, living on Lilinois avenue. ‘ John Mersman was for 3 years overseer and head gardener at the Home for the Friendless, at 4481 South Broadway. In the faithful performance of his duties he con- tracted muscular rheumatism several years ago and more recentiy his sufferings were added to by asthma. Five months ago the old man was forced to give up the position he ad filled so long and he and his wife went to live on the second floor of 3533 lilinois avenue. They had saved and economized on Mersman’s salary at the Home for the Friendless and had a bank account sufficiently large to keep them in comfort for the remaining years of their lives. Mersman believed when he resigned his position that rest, added to thorough treat- ment, would soon bring about an Improve- ment in his condition, but in this .he was disappointed. The pain of the rheumatism ‘and the difficulty in breathing increased and the last three weeks were weeks of agony to him. He not only suffered physi- but he fretted under his enforced He wanted to be at work all the , In apite of his 62 years, and he felt there was no use for a man to live if he ’ was not noticed by Mrs. Mersman until a associated the white lad’s name with that of the negro, Charlies Lewis.

The & districts into which the city is dividea will be sprinkled by 22 con- tractors) The work will cost the city $156,509, as against $103,337.00 last year, the increase.be- ing due to additional mileage. The work of the contractors will be in- spected by 21 regular inspectors and two specials. he regulars will receive $53.33 per month and the specials $75.‘ The total cost of inspection will be $15,512.23. Five hundred and thirteen mites of streets wil] be sprinkled four times every week day and three times every Sunday if the speci- fications are complied with. They will be if there is any éfficiency in injunctions. A squad of men néver went to work with greater admonishment to do faithful work. Before the force had been formally ap- pointed and before the selections had been made, they were summoned before Mayor Ziegenhein, who gavé them a strong talk. He told them that their pulls would not keep them in their jobs a minute if they were caught in any monkey business, Then he sent for Street Commissioner Milner and Sprinkling Superintendent Reichmann and told them that he would hold them directly responsible ;for ‘the conduct of the inspectors. After the inspectors were appointed, Mr. Milner lined them all up in front of him read the specifications to them, questioned them, and told them he had a bright, new guillotine for delinquent inspectors. After that Mr. Milner specially impressed on Mr. Riechmann the necessity of hold- ing the men to strict necountability. Monday afternoon Mr. Riechmann took his turn. He threw in a lot of strong talk with ine directions to each inspector. All this was neccessary if the streets are to be well sprikled. Upon the fidelity of a paepenrace depends the efficiency of the ork. The specifications are all that could be desired. If the inspectors do their work right, the specifications cannot be violated. he specifications were all right last year, but the inspection was not. he same in- spectors are employed this year, but they will be, expected to earn their salaries. Every inspector must make a-written re- port every morning on the work of the con- tractors in his districts the day before. Ha must state if any contractor failed to sprinkle four times, flooded, failed to leave crossings dry or in any other way did im- proper work. For all of these offenses fines will be inflicted and the money retained from what is due the contractors. On week days the first sprinkling must be completed before 8 oidioek in the morn- ing, the second between 8 and 11, the third posween noon and 3 and the fourth between anc . On Sundays the first sprinkling must be completed before 8 o'clock in the morning, the second between 10 and 1 and the third between 2 and 6 pvp. m.

LATTER IS IN THE HOSPITAL. Quarrel Began in a Barroom at Sixth and Walnut Streets and Ended in a General Scrim- mage. Edward Osborne, a railroad timber in- spector, whose mild manner and slender form little indicate the fighter, is a prisoner in the hold-over, nervously awaiting the results of a saloon braw! in which he was a principal Tuesday morning. Michael McCarthy of 115 South Seventh Street is at the City Hospital with a painful knife wound itn h‘a stomach. Osborne confessed to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Tuesday that he stabbed McCarthy, although he had previously denied the charge. When questioned by the police he said he did not know who used the knife. The affray occurred in a saloon at Sixth and Walnut streets at 1 o’clock. Osborne and a party of friends, among whom were Ed Morrison and Charles Thompson, were playing tivoli at a table in the rear end of the saloon. McCarthy and several of his friends en- tered the place. Neither party knew the other and each was drinking more or less. A discussion of the game arose. It merged into a quarrel and then into a fight. The fight was brief—lasted just long enough for McCarthy to receive the knife wound. An ambulance conveyed the wounded man to the City Hospital. He declared he didn’t know who inflicted the injury. Meanwhile, Detectives Killlan and Skid- more arrested Osborne and his companions and locked them in the holdover pending an investigation. Beyond the fact that there had been a fight, and that McCarthy was the victim of somebody’s knife, no information could at first be obtained. When a Post-Dispatch reporter called to see Osborne, he said: , ‘“T admit that I am guilty of the stab- bing, and I regret it very much. “We were all drinking a little, though I was not drunk. My friends and I were playing tivoli when another party entered the saloon, and looked upon our game. One of the men reached over the table and picked up one of the Sv Oy balls. That pro- voked hot words and became excited, There was a general scramble, during which I used the knife on the man, whose name I have since learned. is McCarthy. I sin- Gerely trust he will recover speedily.” Osborne has a péciiliarly bombastic style of speech and his vocabulary is seemingly without limit, although he Is a4 little reck- less about using the right word in the right place. Here is a sample: é “T regret this discrepancy more than tongue can tell and, I sincerely hope that the unfortunate affair will not be promul- gated.”’ At the hospital a reporter talked with McCarthy. He was unable to give the de- tails of the affray. He only knew that he was stabbed while participating in a sa- loon fight. Doctors say he will probably recover. STEPHENS IN TRE OVER A TERM. He Declares That Vindication of Dr. Coombs Was No “Whitewash.” JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 15.—Gov. Stephens yesterday gave an interview on the Coombs investigation. In it he says: “IT was officially notified of the Fulton Asylum trouble the day after the board of managers of the asylum met in extraor- dinary session and procured the superin- tendent’s resignation. The board showed me the courtesy of calling upon me at the capital after the meeting, informing me fully of the charges filed with it and of the action it took. 1 was then assured that the resighation was asked for, not because Dr. Coombs had been found guilty of the epecific a preferred, but that the late charges, with others, had crippled him to such an extent that it was feared his use- fulness as superintendent was at an end. The board conscientiously theught no fur- ther attention would be paid to the matter unless Superintendent Coombs demanded an investigation. “The charges In the meantime had been filled with the Board of Charities, of which I am president. It was my duty under tho Statutes to call this board tomether to thor- oughly investigate the charges. This I did. All the members of the Board of Managers were invited to be present, Mr. Adams alone responding. A more thorough and unpreju- diced investigation Was never made,’ and any intimation of a whitewash is an insult to the very best ——— of Missourl, who compose the board, n this board there are two well-known Republicans—Messrs. Robinson of Maryville and Abercrombie of St. Joseph. Their friends will resent the insult that they are parties to a ‘white- wash.’ One lady—Mrs, Ingalls of St, Louis, president of the Woman's Christian Tem- erance Union, voted with the majority. }0 the noble temperance workers of Mis- souri think this Christian lady a pliable ‘ool In the hands of designing men? Rev. P. Haley of the Christian Church of nsas City, whose integrity has never be- fore been questioned, voted Dr. Coombs in- nocent of the charge of immorality. What do his friends think of the charge agains: him of ‘whitewashing’ the superintendent: of the asylum? “All six members of the board present voted unanimously that the institution had been satisfactorily and successfully man- aged by Dr. Coombs. Five of the board voted that the charges of drunkenness were not sustained; Dr. Young, a ‘regular’ physician, voting in the minority. Five voted that charges of immoral conduct as preferred by the two lady attendants of the asylum were not sustained, Dr. Youn axu.n voting in the minority. Effurts o mischief-makers to estrance Dr. Young and myself will not avall. He is my friend —personal and political—and 4 physician, and, believing as he did that Dr. Coombs was guilty, would have lost respect for him had he voted otherwise.” REBELS’ LOSS REPORTED HEAVY Spanish Report 500 of Them Killed at Balinac.

DAUGHTER KATIE FINISHED THE ASSAULT BY KNOCKING OUT THE OLD MAN. SHE HIT HIM WITH A CHAIR. Grand Spri TO-MORROW > CRAWFORD Judge Zimmerman Sent the Jealous Husband to the Workhouse Rockpile for Thirty Days. William Buckley got mad last night when he entered his home and found his wife kissing her nephew. He tore the house upside down, knocked down his wife, knocked down her.nephew and was him- self knocked down and knocked out by his daughter Katie. bad Katie played peacemaker and settled the , disturbance by a blow on her fath¢r’s head with a chair. A liceman dragged the jealous husband to the police station and Judge Zimmerman finished him Tuesday morning by sending him to the Work house rockpile for a 30-days repentance, The story came out in the Police Court, Buckley, a blacksmith, wasn’t feeling well Monday a quit work early. He took to drink to dfive out the chills, and when he got to his home, 780 Water street, he was | loaded to the guards. Just before Buckley got there, young Michael Madden called to see Mrs. Buckley, his aunt. She was so glad to see him and he to see her that they were embracing affectionately when Buckley staggered into the house. At least that is the way the story was told by Mrs. Buckley and her nephew in the court, and Buckley admitted he was too drunk.at the ‘time to recall now what did happen. Buckley, seeing his wife hugging her } sprang savagely at them. He owh young Madden with a single Buckley nephew knocked ad low. Another blow sent Mrs. across the kitehen stove. Then Buckley seized a heavy stick of wood and was about to brain his wife. Madden grabbed his arm. During the scuffle Mrs. dances Wednesdays and Saturdays. Katie took in the situation with a glance, Then she snatched a kitchen chair, lifted it high above her head and brought it down with all her strength—the strength of a blacksmith’s daughter and factory girl— on her father’s head. . For a while he didn’t know what hit him, and taking advantage of her knocked-out Katie dragged young Madden out of the house. The old man revived, smashed all the dishes and furniture in the kitchen, and was just pouring coal oil over the floor when Katie returned with a policeman. “AMONG THE OZARKS.” The Land of Big Red Apples is an attrac. tive and interesting book, with views of Southo Missouri scenery.

Some people have refused to pay the tax ever since, through the efforts of the Post-Dispatch municipal sprinkling was inaugurated in St. Louis in 1887, on the claim that the law was uncon- stitutional, It is probable that some of these will contest the suits and a decision on the subject be brought about. In the ten years since the city began do- ing the work nobody has ever beer\sued for sprinkling tax. The reason was that in most cases fhe court costs would be greater than the amounts recovered. The average tax for a %-foot lot is 75 cents. The cost of bringing each suit is $10.60. The aggregate of delinquencies has now become so great that Collector Wenneker has decided to take action. In order not to come out poorer when he went into the litigation he has hit mn the plan to sue the delinguents b ocks of ten. By this scheme he will be able to enforce collection from the delin- quents at the cost of only one proceeding. © suits will be begun as soon as the work of checking up now in progress at the Mee, has been completed, =e the lists returned to the Collector's of- ce Comptroller's o “The number of delinquents,” Wennecker Tuesday, ‘is not large, probably not so large as On general taxes. are only a few who have refused to pay because they considered the law unconsti- ’ think with a great is an oversight.

A WARNING TO THE LEGISLATORS. Most Prominent Men in St. Louis Will Assemble and Insist That the Will of the People Be Heeded. Counctiman Thuner will be surprised this afternoon. He is in the attitude of etand- ing between the people and the charter amendment they desire—that providing for the merit system. There was a bie meeting at the City Hall when the question of the Cabanne Place franchise grab came.up. The Councilmen took warning and did not pass the measure, That gatherlug promises to be eclipsed by that of Tuesday afternoon. All those inter- ested in the merit system have been urged to aseembie at the City Hall and show the members of the Council what they may ex- pect if they defeat the will of the people. The following letter has been ¢ent to those interested in the reform: lear Sir-—The Legislative Committee of the lity tounecll have wot as yet reported on the amendment relative to the merit system. They are evidentiy delaying the report to either re- vine our amendment or with the hopes that our enthusiasm and zeal will die out so that they can report adversely without GWmusing cvuli- ment. The officers of the Citizens’ Committee feel that it is wecessary that every member ‘of the committee and all friends of the movement should attend these Council meetings, as their presence, we believe, would add more strength and eupport to the movement thao any other measure Wwe can adopt. The next meeting of the Council will be on Tuesday, March 15, at h «a clock, on the second thoor of the old City Hall. Please be present and urge all friends of the movement to be there at this meeting as the report will probably be made then, The secretary of the Citizens’ Committee has received a*surances that the different aseaociations will follow up the matter at once. Leaders of the trades and labor unions, members of the Merchants’ ,Ex- change and Master Builders’ Association, Business Men's League, Mercantile, Com- mercial and Noonday clubs and a large number of others interested In the move- ment will be present at the Council meeting this afternoon. - 3 The following bodies will be represented at to-day’s Council meeting: Merchants’ Exchange. 6t. L. Drug Clerks’ So- Commercial Club. clety. | Taxpayers’ League. Bar Association. ' Civil Service Meform Business Men's League. Aseociation. Mercantile Club. Central Trades and La- Noouday Club. bor Union St. Louis Spanish Club. Civic Federatioa. Jefferson Club. ry - f St. Louls Master Luuvbermwen's Exchange Builders.: of St. iis. Gt. Louls Paint, Of St. Louls Single Tax and Drug Club. League. Furniture Board of Unios Club, Trade. Social Democracy. Young Men's Institote. Unless something turns up again to cause a delay, the report of the gislative Com- mittee on the proposed Charter Amend- ments will be submitted to the Council Tuesday evening. A majority of the committee. Thuner and Kratz, will report against the merit sys- tem amendment. The report will take the form of a recommendation of the passage of an ordinance providing for the submis- sion of the street improvement amend- ments. There will be no reference to the merit system amendment in the report, but as soon as it is submitted Chairman Thuner will make one of his speeches and try to explain why he thinks an epidemic of paresis would follow an attempt of the people of St. Louls to vote on two propo- sitions at once. Mr. Gast, the third member of the com- mittee, will join in these recommendations, but it is expected, from the declarations he has made, that he will submit a minority report, recommending the submission of some sort of a merit system amendment along with the others. . Mr. Gast hae been giving the matter careful consideration, and while he does not entirely indorse the particular form of the amendment now before the committee, : his conviction that there is need for such reform has been deepened. MANGLED IN THE SHAFTING Horrible Accident to an Amer- ican Brewery Workman. ROBERT WILSON, ELECTRICIAN, WEDGED BETWEEN SHAFT AND CEILING AND HIS FLESH _ TORN FROM HIM. RESCUED BY HIS COMPANIONS. While Repairing an Electric Tight Wire His Clothing Was Caught by the Shaft and He Was Whirled About It. Robert Wilson, a young electrician, nar- rowly escaped a horrible death at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, while at work "tn the bottling department of the American Brewing Co., facing on Seventh street in the rear of 28235 South Broadway. He ascended a short step-ladder in the basement, where the bottling machines are locaged, to repair an electric light wire, He had scarcely commenced work when the tall of the jumper he was wearing was caught by a ehafting, revolving at the rate of 13 a minute. The pliable cloth was twisted around the rusty piece of iron with lightning rapidity and Wilson was hurled against the low rafter ceiling, only 18 inches above him, and pinioned there securely, while the ewiftly revolving shaft kept grind- ing away at his Qesh and tearing his cloth- ing to shreds. The frightened man screamed with pain, Fifty other employes at work near by heard him and saw his perilous position. One of them, with more presence of mind than the rest, ran to the big wheel 20 feet away, jerked a lever and shrew off the belt. This action stopped the machinery, but Wilson was so firmly wedged aloft that he remained in the same position, incapable of motion. Quick hands cut away ‘hie clothing and he was rescued and laid upon the damp floor, partially unconscious. Blood was flowing from a long his head, and later examination two broken ribs. Mr. Koetterer, manager of the depart- ment, called an ambulance and the injured man was haetily removed to the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital, where he will receive attention at the company's expense. His condition is serious, q@ut his recovery is expected. Wilson te only &% years old. He ts mar- ried and resides at 610 South Broadway. He was employed by the company last Faturday. He had just recovered from the effects of an accident which befell him sev- eral weeks ago. ash on isclosed Boys’ Clothes of reliable fabrics, well made and fashionable cut, at rea- sonable prices, are the only kind you will find in our store Our “Knockabout”’ Suits in all sizes, 6 to 16, at $5.00, is the most wear. resisting boy’s suits ever offered at any price.

THE KNIGHTS ARE INCENSED Pythians in Arms Against the “Hot Time” Ball. SAY IT SHALL NOT BE HELD. PROTEST TO THE AGENT OF MA- SONIC HALL, WHERE THEIR LODGES MEET. SAY IT WOULD BE A DISGRACE. It Is the Ball That the Liederkranz Society Would Not Permit the Quartier Latin Club i toGive ~~ The proposed “hot time” ball of the Quar- tier Latin Club has raised a storm in another quarter. Taking the cue of the Liederkranz Associ- ation, the Knights of Pythias declare that the luridly advertised bal masque shall not come off Friday evening in Masonic Hall. What is too warm for the Liederkranz is too torrid for the Pythian Knights, they eay. John C. Hall is the lessee of the hall. He declares that all balls look alike to him, and as he ‘has allowed several to take place there thie season the “hot one” can come off, too. Mr. Hall is a Pythian and a member of the Golden Crown Lodge. This lodge, with 17 others, meet in Masonic Hall. It 8 Louls there are nearly 6000 Knights o meet at Pythias and nearly one-half Seventh and Market streets, really making that the Pythian headquarters of the city. It was not generally known among mem- bers of the society until Sunday that the vartier Latin ball was to come of at their headquarters. The Knights are said to have expressed their indignation in the strongest terms and grimly determined to prevent it. It‘is said that «eo firm ts the resolve to squelch the “hot timers” that if moral suasgion fails with Mr. Hall the courts will be appealed to for an injunction to prohibit the entertainment, upon the grounds that it le against good public policy. It ts further etated openly that any mem- ber of the woctey who aids the club's pro- ject will be officially charged with conduct unbecoming a knight, which is puntshable by the Pythian code with expulsion from the order. The informal meeting of Knights Sunday afternoon discussed the matter thoroughly and appointed Chancellor Commander Owen Miller of Aurora Lodge and Prelate A. H. St. Clair of Acme Lodge a committee to eee all the lodges that meet in the building for the purpose of securing their support in an- tagonizing the scheme of the torrid foy- sterers. It was announced page= f that the lodges would he praetieally a unit of opposition. “We do not wish to appear in the light of public moral censors,” said Mr. Clair. ‘The QuarterLatinClub can throw as much heat into their entertainments as they de- they cannot give euch sire, but we do sa ome of the Knights of exhibitions in the thias. ‘We hold our respectability and go00d name just as dear as does the Liederkranz Association and we cannot allow our or- ganization to be hurt by countenancing what wae disapproved by them.” Mr. St. Clair call upon Mr. Halil Tues- day morving and laid the objections of the Knights before him. That gentleman was Inclined to think that a too serious view was being taken of the situation. “T am in a position to say,”’ he eald, “that there will be nothin offensive to the moral sense, notwithstan the lurid posters. I the firet place I would not stand it, an again I have been assured it is not the intention of the promoters. I shall see the managers again and impress this upon them, and shall confer with Chief Harrigan to have enough police on hand to nip in the bud any attempt at indecency.” Dr, Bull’e Cough Syrup, the old reliable, will cure every case of cough or cold.

SERGEANTS AND PATROLMEN WOULD BE CONVICTS IF THE TRUTH WERE TOLD. BEGGED HIS CLIENT TO DO SO. Riedy Refused, Mr. Bass Said, Prefer- ring to Suffer Punishment Than Betray Those Who Shared in the Spoils. Ex-Treasurer John E. Riedy of the Police Relief Association will serve two years in the penitentiary for embezzling $9000 from the association which honored him. He entered a plea of guilty tn Judge Fiit- craft’s court Tuesday morning and ac- cepted his punishment. Riedy’s attorneys, Bass & Martin, on Mon- day intimated to Assistant Circuit Attorney Krone that their client would take a plea if the punishment would be fixed at a term of imprisonment in the penitentiary not ex- ceeding two years. Mr. Krone replied that he would not consider the proposition with- out first laying the case before his superior, Circult Attorney Eggers. When first approached Mr. Eggers was not inclined to accept the plea. He told Riedy’s counsel that he must have time to consider. Tuesday morning Mr. Eggers told a Post- Dispatch reporter he had decided to accede to the proposition made by Riedy’s attor- neys. e said that he had consulted with certain officers of the Police Relief Associa- tion and they were aatisfied with that course. “Of course it was not necessary that I should consult with them,” said Mr. Eggers, “but I wished to be courteousto them. The acceptance of the plea, in my opinion, is the BICYCLES. The Bicycle is yet to be built that issuperior toa TRIBUNE, price for price.

Should he have seen fit to have told his story on the stand {t would create such a sensation in Police circles ae St. Louis never dreamed of, and there would be a wholesale decapl- —..._._.. tation of policemen and sergeants, “Naturally, as my client prefers to go to the Penitentiary in order to shield his friends, he would not give the names of any who benefited by his downfall. Nor can I intimate who they are.’’ CONTINUOUS RAIL SYSTEM. The Southern Electric Providing for Smooth Running of Cars. The Southern Electric Railway Co. took the first step Monday toward making the rails of their track continuous. They com- menced work atthe company’s sheds,4041 8S. Broadway, and will proceed south until the southern termina! of the road is reached when they wil] work to the northern end and thence back to the sheds. It has been successfully proven that cars run over the | continuous rails with less jolt and jostle ——_ wr = = best thing. The first indictment was not worth the paper it was written on. It was too’ comprehensive. It was meant to catch him coming and going. The last indictment was all right, and it is poe we could have convicted Riedy on ft. But it was by means certain. No case is certain until ‘it is finished, “Then in case of a conviction the oe eentence that could be imposed would be five years in the penitentiary. One juror could prevent any punishment whatever, By accepting the plea conviction is assured a ae will be given.”’ eidy was treasurer of the Police Relief Association for three terms, of one year each. He was a patrolman in the Central Police District and was popular with a large number of policemen. e was treas- urer two years in succession and then was out of office for a year. A fight was made upon him when he was last a candidate, put his friends rallied around him and ¢e- cured his election for a third term. Success turned his head and Riedy was neglectful of his business. He was seen frequently at the race track and was known to be a heavy loser. His own income was known not to be sufficient to stand the constant drain. Detectives were placed on his track. His lavish expenditures were brought to light. An investigation of his accounts was ordered. He had friends on the inside who knew what was going on. That they notified Riedy of the impending investigation was shown when ot Legend Yar eg sent Riedy to it his books and casn. ace bee were obtained and they were in a badly muddled shape. Then the keys to the box in the safety deposit vault, where the money was kept was obtained. When searched the money was found to be ab- atracted, When the invest:gation was con- cluded it was found that his shortage o $9000. “miedy kept out of —_ far several weeks until a warrant was issued. Though the entire police and detect:ve foroes were look- ing for him Riedy never left the city. He was in constant communication with his at- torney. He agreed to give himself up if he were released on ball. One night Riedy was driven to Judge Murphy's home, where he gave himself up and gave the required bond. “John E. Riedy ts a martyr,” declared At- torney Simon Bass to a Post-Dispatch rter immediately after Judge Fiitcraft Pad given him a two years’ penitentiary eentence. “Tf Riedy hed stood trial he would most assuredly have been acquitted. I told John this and pleaded with him to etand trial and let the blame fal! on the shoulders of those who deserved it. But he would not do it. “Had eee? told his story on the stand. and substantiated it, as he could easily hate done, he would have been cleared and a number of police sergeants and patrolmen More RICYCLES are bought, sold and ex- changed through P.-D. wants than throur aay two oiner local want ed. mediums con | ye ie 4 ee eee would have been placed in the position he sow occuples.

HARRY RANDALL’S FINESSE. TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A WOMAN NOT WELL POSTED IN BUSINESS. | OTHER STRANGE TRANSACTIONS Light Thrown on a Contract Between the Building Commissioner | and Mr. and Mrs, 1; ' Stout, t The report of ‘Referee Henry Kortjohn on J. Harry Randall should make very inter- esting reading for the Mayor and the mem- bers of -the City Council, as it indicates what an able business man the young Build. ing Commissioner is. The report is based upon a sult of Fanny Stout against.Randall to have cancelled some notes and a deed of trust which she claimed were obtaine® ty Randall by unfair means. The history of the transaction as told in the referee’s report is a peculiar one in a oan got the Huist-Stout was in Oct mags Figg on ge ober, 1896, a corporation with capital stock of $10,000, in 200. shares, of $50 each. Prior to Nov. 21, P. G. Stout, husband of the plaintiff sold Randall 20 Sharon for cash and two notes of $100 each. On Oct. Ae. ee = _ entered —e an agree ere out was to eell to Randall 39 shar or $1960 in the form of a note due Nov. 1898, and payable in $50 monthly installmente. The failure to pa any of the installments to act as an annni ment of the agreement. On the same day another contract was made between the same two, similar to the first in all respects, save that the note wae for $1900, maturing {n two years and payable in $100 monthly installments. This contract was to fall on the default of any of the payments. On Nov. 21, 1891, Randall was elected President of the company for the remain- der of the year, at a salary of $100 a month At the next meeting, Jan. 4, 1897, Randali was authorized by the directors to execute a chattel mortgage to Mrs. Francis Stout, to secure her on the indebtedness of the company to her for money loaned. This covered all the assets of the company. ‘On Jan. 18, 1897, Mrs. Stout had all the property = Pr pad the maerteage. At a mee 6 company essigned all it contracts to Mrs. Stour. «! — ” Randell and Stout talked the business over, and agreed to let Mrs. Stout buy in the company to get rid of all the bad bills, etc. they had on hand. ‘A new company was formed in which Randal claims he was to have 2% shares of stock for nothing on account of his in- terest in the old company. ile the new company was itn the pro- cess of formation Mr. Stout went to (hi- cago, and on the 19th of April, 1897, Ran- dall called on Mrs. Stout, having in his pos- session mortgage sued on in this case and a note for 10. He wanted her to si the papers, but she sald she would do moth. ing until she consulted her husband.
