He Testifies That On the Night of the Beimfohr Murder the Accused “Prisoner Was in Another A Saloon. ~The third day of the trial of the notori- ous “Skippy’’ Rohan, charged with murder, bégan in Judge Zachritz’s court Friday morning at » o'clock. The room was - packed when the Deputy Sheriff called for order, and there was a fair sprinkling of women among the spectators. The prisoner had regained his accus- tomed composure that was somewhat dis- | turbed by the damaging testimony Thurs- day of Eddie Beimfohr and William Vie. “Skippy” had also visited the jail barber and his clothes were neatly brushed. ‘Attorney Lishop for the defense busy for an -howr before come and he was determined to leave noti- ing undone that might save his client. Since the evidence of Thursday the Sher- iff's care of the prisoner ‘thas been greatly increased. ‘‘Skippy’s’’ known desperation is appreciated by the authorities and Depu- ty Sheriff Welkener has been detailed as an extra guard. He sits Hmmediately at the prisener’s rear and watches every move- ment. When Rohan got up for a drink of water Welkener arose instantly and fol- lowed, although the prisoner was in the custody of Leputy Sheriff Becker, Not for years, perhaps never, has a prisoner been BO closely guarded as is Rohan. It was 9:15 o'clock when Mr. Bishop put William Steinkamp on the witness stand. Mr. Bishop will try to save his cilent’s neck | Sa- j by an alibi.

He pleaded guilty to petit larceny, returned the stone and took a Workhouse sentence, William Ellis, 2328 Biddle street, was the next witness.

O’Connell was so eager to testify that he took the stand and began talking before Mr. Bishop resumed his place. O’Connell was also one of the men arrested as a suspect.for the Beimfohr murder. O’Connoll told about Eddie Beimfohr’s identification of him as the man who shot his father. Witness said that he asked that Capt. Phillips send him before the wounded mun to see if he could identify him. Beim- fohr failed to do so. Eddie was at home at the time and again said, pointing at wit- ness: “That is the man who shot my father.” Mr. Bishop introduced a tintype of Ro- han as he was before he was arrested. Red O’Connoll and Rohan stood side by side before the jury for at least a minute. They look something alike. f On cross-examination witness said he had not worked since 1895. He and “Skippy” were acquaintances. Rohan was at wit- ness’ house the Sunday before his arrest. O’Connoll’s picture is in Chief Desmond’s gallery and in other cities.

AGED COUPLE REMOVED FROM A DIRTY HOVEL ON NORTH PRAIRIE AVENUE. BOTH ARE NOW IN THE CITY HOSPITAL. —_——- Nearly $300 Found in the Pocket of the Woman, Whose Miserly In- stinct Drove Away All Reason. There is at the City Hospital an aged couple, Robert and Maria Maher, whose Stery is stranger and more fiction like than the tale that has accompanied any patient to that haven for sufferers in many days. Briefly the wife,demented by the pursuit of miserly instinct to the extent that she would not part with an iota of her hoard even for food, has starved her husband into insanity, and both are now at death’s door. The woman is confined in a cell in the observation ward and the husband will be there Friday night, if he escapes. the dead- house that long. Maher is 80 years old and his wife is 62, which facts, in addition to the main features in the startling history of their recent past, were told by the old man before nature succumbed to privations and reason gave way to insanity at the City Hospital Friday morning. Robert and his wife lived in a miserable hovel at 4257 North Prairie avenue. They kept apart from their neighbors and the residents thereabouts exchanged among themselves the old story that the strange old man and the stranger old woman were misers with bags of money hidden in out- of-the-way places in their dirty hut. In this they were partly correct. Children dared each other to enter the yard and peer through the window at the old woman, who sat mearly all day working by a table, on which reposed a gaunt black cat. The police officer on the beat was led to enter the hut Thursday at the solicitations of kindly deposed women of the neighbor- hood, who had kept watch on the house and had seen neither of the ocupants go out for days. At the grocer’s and butcher's, where the eccentric pair traded, nothing had been purchased by them for a week or more, Erg ne the police rapped on the door of the Maher abode. No sound came from within until- repeated summonses to admit the policeman had been made. When the woman opened the door a few inches and formed her face in the opening the glare of lunacy was in her eyes. She {s gray haired and wasted in form, but she stood erect and demanded in indignant tones to know why she and her gold could not be left alone. “Tt ts all mine,” she cried. ‘Mine, for I dug it, and I shall not give it to you, or let rou polson me, I know what you want. Wed want me and Bob to eat so you can put poison in the bread and get the gold when we dle.” The woman essayed to shut the door, but a policeman’s foot interposed and the offi- cers pushed into the room. The old woman began to rave, repeating over again that the officers should not have her money and that she would not eat poisoned food, nor would she let “Bob” eat it. While one policeman tried to pacify her the other found the husband lying on a pai- let on the floor of the only other room in the hut. The old man told the policeman to go away, that his wife was crazy and would kill them all. He whispered that he was starving and had had no food for so lon that he could not remember when he ha last.eaten. His wife declared that évery- thing was poisoned, he said, and would neither eat herselfgpor bring him food. She seemed imb®d wit superhuman strength and wasestill active, but he has broken down under the starvation and had not been off the pallet for a long time.

FRIDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 20, 1898, - ; W IN THE ~ POLICE BOARD, Gen. Lewis and Mr. Stuever Locked Horns. ONE OF THEM SAID THE OTHER HAD LIED. QUESTION OF VERACITY AND A CHARGE OF BROKEN PLEDGES. M'CAFFERY’S FRIEND WAS EXCEEDINGLY ANGRY. Gen. Lewis Gone to Louisiana Until the Smoke of the Chiefship Battle Shall Have Blown En- tirely Away. A new Chief of Police -wasn't made Thursday afternoon withott a scene in the board rocen between twe commissioners, Vice President James M. Lewis and An- ton C. Stuever were the principals, and it is probable they will not speak as they pass by in future. Mr. Stuever gave Gen, rect, Gen. Lewis made no reply and took no steps at the time to resent it. He has, after his usual habit whenever anything happens in police affairs that is unpleasant, left town on a fishing trip. The scene occurred immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. he storm had heen ‘brewing during the session. It began when Gen, Lewis failed to sup- port Mr. Stuever in his attempt to secure a delay in the selection of a new Chief. Mr. Stuever was fighting for time in the inierest of Judge McCaffery. ft seems he looked to Gen. Lewis to help him. Gen. Lewis disappointed him. When it was proposed by Dr. Forster to proceed with the election of a Chief, Mr, Stuever protested. Mayor Ziegenhein said he was ready to vote. Mr. Kinesland said the same. All eyes were turned on Gen, Lewis. He said he was ready. ~ Mr. Stuever scowled darkly. Mr. Kingsiand then made the nominations for Chief, Assistant Caief and the new Cap- tain in succession. On each Gen. Lewis cast his vate with. Mr. Kingsland, Dr. Forster and the Mayor. Mr. Stuever voted for Judge McUaffrey. After Capt. Campbell had Chief, Capt. Pickel Assistant Sergt. McNamee Captain, . Mayor hein, foreseeing a storm, smooth matters over. ‘“‘Let’s make it unanimous,” he ‘Come on, Tony. What's the use in stand- ing out against it? Vote with us now and make it unanimous,”’ “No, sir,”’ said Mr. Stuever. “I’m out of this. You fellows have done it and you can shoulder the responsibility. I stay where I am.” The board then adjourned. Mr. Kingsland, Dr. Forster Mayor hoped the danger was reckoned without their host. As the Commissioners rose from their seats Mr. Stuever turned towird Gen. Lewis. Pointing his finger at him, he said: “General, I want to tell you that you lied to me.”’ Gen. Lewis raised hie hand as though to ward off a blow. . “Now, now——,’’ he said, but got no fur- ther. “Yes,"’ continued Mr. Stuever, “I want you to understand that you lied to me, and want these other gentlemen to understand Lewis the He di- been elected Chief, and Ziegen- and the past. They Gen, Lewis made no reply. Mr. Stuever then shook hands with Mr. Kingsland, Dr. (Forster and the Mayor. “You, gentlemen,” he said, ‘‘acted square- ly. You made me no promises and I ex- pected nothing from you. You did what you thought waAs right.”’ That closed the incident. Mr. Stuever al- most immediately left the Four Courts. yen. Lewis lost not much time in getting away, and Thursday night he packed up and went to Louisiana, Mo., Friday morn- ine. Mr. Stuever claims that Gen, Lewis had pledged his support to Judge McCaffery in terms that would admit of no doubt of his intentions at the time. Chief Harrigan was notified. by telephone of the action of the board, and expressed pleasure, particularly at the appointment of Chief Campbell. He was afraid Capt. Kiely would appointed, and although he probably would have preferred Judge McCaffery, Campbell was his gecond choice. Assistant Chief Pickel assumed his new duties Thursday night. Chief Campbell is acting in his new capacity, and at mid- night Saturday he will be Chief in reality, The transfers of Captains went into effect at noon ne: The Police Board makes good promises concerning the conduct of the department in the future. “We intend to serve the people and ce gg law,” ~ ay pate Kingsland, mer system w strictly enfo ( Ability will be the test.

Ex-Police Commisioner Kelly, a friend of Chief Campbell, and several others are ar- ranging to present to him a diamond-stud- ded shield. The friends of Judge McCaffery are ex- ceedingly sore at his defeat. They have etarted a movement to have the delegation from St. Louis to the State convention re- soind the resolution indorsing Gov. Steph- ens’ administration. adopted at the con- vention Tuesday. They are not to win in this endeavor, because of the influence of Election Commissioner Brady and Excise Commissioner Higgins, which dominates the delegation. ‘The salary of the Chief of Police is $4600, of assistant chief and of the captains 1900.

Mr. Kingsland went into the meeting with all the motions necessary to the proceedings written out on paper. He read the motions off and Dr. Ferster seconded them. Gen. Lewis voted for each one. Judge McCaf- fery’s friends reason that Gen. wis had gone into a.q@iucus with Mr. Kingsland and Dr. Forster, at which the slate was fixed up and the programme written down. Mr. Steuver was much opposed to the reduction of Kiely and the promotion of ‘ickel. It is claimed by Klely’s friends that he alsohhad a promise from Gen. Lewis to support him, and the same promise is said to have been made to Lewis C. Neilson. But it is far from probable that Gen, Lewis made all the promises alleged.

Commander of th2 Ist Kept His Sol- diers in the Hot Sun and Refused the Offer of a Cool and Shady Grove. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The 3d Missouri Regiment of Volunteers was ordered this morning to proceed at once to Camp Alger, near this city. WASHINGTON, May 20.—Adjutant-Gen- eral Corbin issued an order to-day for the 5th Missouri Volunteers to proceed at once to Chickamauga and report to the General in command. St. Louts’ first sacrifice in the Hispano- American war is complete. Twelve hun- dred as gallant fellows as ever answered their country’s call are now in the field, and the tearful prayers of 700,000 people follow them. Smiling, but stolid, the boys of the Ist Regiment marched from Barracks Heights Thursday afternoon, down through long lines of cheering comrades of other regi- ments and weeping, sad-eyed friends. There was music of the inspinng kind that sets the nerves to tingling and makes more beautiful the glorious flag of free- dom, and there was wild cheering from the blue coats that are soon to follow, but there was no overwhelming enthusiasm that stood out so prominently at the leave- taking of the battery. Probably it was be- cause a greater number of homes were placed in mourning and gréater sacrifices wera being made. The big heart of St. Louis was being brought closer to war, sons from all walks of life were placing their lives on the coun- try’s altar and the time was not for merry- making. It was a trying ordeal for soldier and civillan and both‘were sustained by equal courage. In that hour the troops stood waiting at the dingy Barracks station they demonstrated that they possessed the stern- ness of spirit that in a twinkling changes an American citizen into a hero. According to the programme, camp Wwaé broken at 1:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The departure was not taken until six hours later and the soldiers lounged about their one-time company streets entertain- ing the friends who had come down for a last chat and to speak their farewells. For some reason Col. Corby’s proffer of the shaded and cool grove near the 4th’s camp was not accepted, and the three bat- talions remained on the hill until the sig- nal to start was given. The Iist’s band headed the 1st Battalion, which moved at 5 o'clock. As the line of soldiers passed the pavilion they - were cheered by the mean in Col. Corby’s camp. Knots of regulars scattered along the line of march forgot their habitual ‘‘josh’’ of the ‘“‘tin soldier’’ and sent their farewel!ls in hearty shouts. The three trains fvere at the station and loading was begug without delay by the details that had been assigned to that duty. The men in the ranks were put “at ease,’’ and conversed eagerly with the crowd of loved ones that had followed them from the camp. By 7:30 o'clock the last section with the 8d Battalion on board was away. Every man fully expected to meet friends at Union Station and when it was learned that the train would not enter the sheds the disap- pointment was intense. Ten thousand peo- le had gathered at Union Station for a last iandshake, but orders were imperative, en- gines were changed in the yards, the trains ewitched and the 1050 sons of St. Louis were off to war with scanter courtesy than had been extended the regiment of strangers who had gone 24 hours before. BATTERY A TO HAVE A CANTEEN. Proceeds of the Concern Will Be De- voted to the Camp Mess. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAMP THOMAS, CHICKAMAUGA, PARK, Ga., May 20.—The Light Battery boys from St. Louis are camped in a forest with artillerymen from Obio and Indiana on either side of them. There is no more play. Everybody has settled down to hard work. Following is the daily bulletin: First call, 4:45 a. m.; revielle, 6 a. m.; mess call, 5:30 a. m.; gick call, 6:15 a. m.; fatigue stable, 6:30 a. m.; guard mount, 8 a. m.; drill call, 9 a. m.; recall, 10:30 a. m.; first sergeant’s cail, 11:15 a. m.; mess, 11:30 a. m.; school, 1 p. m.; drill, 3:30 p. m.; recall, 4 p. ™.; mess, & p. m.; parade, 6 p. m.; retreat, sunset; tattoo, 9 p. m.; taps, 9:16 p. m. There has been no complaint by the men about the food. The daily rations consist of bread, hard tack, bacon, potatoes, beans, tomatoes and coffee, which is 100 per cent better than the other troops have, if not as good ag the boys have been used to at home. Private Bob Kamm of the first section Is in the hospital with a slightly ee foot. By Monday he will be back in line. Bickness is as yet unknown, and with the attention given the men by Capt. Rumbold, the hospital will remain empty except in case of accidents. This morning a stiff wind blew up, fol- lowed by a rain, but before guard mount the sun wae shining brightly. Water in the camp is scarce, but a spring about a haif mile distant furnishes a de- lightful place to bathe, and a force pump with a hose attachment makes a good shower bath. The new uniforms, horses and equipment have not yet arrived. A canteen will be established to-morrow and the proceeds will be devoted to the mess. Lucien Carr was this morning appointed postmaster. SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED BADLY. Men of the Sth Are Decidedly ‘‘Up Against It” in Various Ways. l?rgent telegrams have been sent to Wash- ington for supplies for the three Missouri regiments that remain at Jefferson Bar- racks. Each Colonel has made out a full ist of the needs of his command and has accom- panied these with polite requests that they receive immediate attention. Col. Gross’ men of the 3d are probably in the best shape of any in camp. Col. Corby has whole companies without uniforms or equipments, and has asked the War De- partment to forward a supply of shoes with- out delay. The 5th is decidedly “up against it.” But few of the men have parts of uniforms, and there is a genera] kick on blankets and ra- tions, Everything possible has been done to relieve the situation, but until the War Department takes the matter in hand there is not much chance for comfort. Friday morning it was decided to change the éth’s location. The camp will be moved Saturday further up the hill, to the position formerly occupied by the Ist or by Col. Ca ffee. Col. Gross was in consultation with the Sth's officers during the morning, and otronsty urged the selection ‘of the Iist’'s ping rounds, This wilh leave monty of cam teflon 2 the north for regimental and THIRD GETS (TS BOYS KNEE SUITS, Ages 4 to 15 years. are all made inthe latest style and are the prettiest suits in the city the money.

With brooms improvised from brush gath- ered in the woods the camp has been thor- oughly policed, but this does not carry the water off and the health of the men de- mands immediate action. While the higher location leaves the camp more exposed to the heavy winds that have accompanied all storms, the water runs off rapidly and an hour’s sun dries the ground thoroughly. With so much to contend with the spirit of the regiment is remarkable. While there are many loud protestations, the men real- ize that both Lieut. Moore and their offi- cers are doing all in their power. They drill with the greatest cheerfulness and none permit a suggestion of homesickness. a een PRIVATE BRUCE A HERO. He Saved From Drowning Fred Bryan, the Barber of the 5th. Fred Bryan, barber of the 5th, owes his life to the heroism of Private J. W. Bruce of Company C, 3d Regiment. The two men were in a large swimming party below the Barracks late Thursday evening. Bryan is an expert swimmer and went far out into the swollen river. He gave many trick exhibitions, then started for the shore. He had hardly changed his course when he was seen to sink. Cries for help reached shore where the others were dressing. Bruce, a muscular fellow, who has spent his life about the water, instantly divined the trouble. ‘‘A cramp’s got him!” he yelled, and toss- ing his clothing aside he leaped into the water. Brvan’s stout heart did not quatll, and he struggled valiantly to keep up until help reached him. His strength was about gone when Bruce grabbed him under the arms. Others came to the rescue and the stricken man was taken to land. Friday there were no effects of his narrow race with death. WARMEST ’COON IN CAMP. Harry Bell, Maj. Heudricks’ Body Ser- vant, Is a Wonder as to Clothes. The honor of being the ‘‘warmest coon in camp” has been unanimously voted to Harry Bell of St. Joseph, an attache of the 4th Regiment. Bell is body servant to Maj. Hendricks and is duly impressed with the dignity of his position. His tropical warmth does not lie in his being a modei servant. As a dresser and a modern Chesterfield he is the envy of his comrades. He is a portrayer of the latest ‘colored’ fashions and in no sense “fa cheap man.” His favorite costume for parade is a black and white blazer, with vertical stripes three inches wide and a pair of carefully creased lavender trousers.

Lichtman, Co. I, 3d Regiment, lis- tened to a patriotic oration Thursday night that was a little out of the ordinary. The Captain was officer of the day and had occasion to clap into the guardhouse a banch of privates who refused to go to their tents at taps. He called about midnight to see how his prisoners were faring. One big fellow thus addressed him: “Captain, your Honor will know the patriotism of the 3d Missouri Regiment. How we, as humble privates, are willing to do and die for our giorious country. Sir, we have left comfortable homes to fignt Spaniards, but by gad, sir, we refuse to fight lice.’’ The Captain investigated and the patriots were not disciplined. ilicscntineliigeeticncie PRIVATE HECKER DIDN’T GO. Measles Kept Him Behind, but He Hopes to Rejoin His Regiment. Edgar Hecker of 65411 Easton avenue, a private in Company G, list Regiment, did not leave with the St. Louls boys Thurs- day night. Two hours before the order to break camp was given the lad developed a seri- ous case of measles. Lieut. felch, the surgeon in charge, had him transferred to the post hospital. from which he was re- moved to his home. The poor fellow_ suffered more in spirit than in flesh, and begged not to be left behind. He was granted a leave of ab- sence and will rejoin His regiment when he recovers. -— —_-~@o-—-—_ BROKE UP THE DINNER PARTY. Maj. Hendrick’s Fair Guests Forced to Retreat Before the Rain. Maj. Hendrick of the 4th entertained a supper party under difficulties Thursday evening. His guests were the Misses Duross and Mrs. Wiggs of St. Lonis. Just as the visitors sat down to a supper of fried chicken, potato chips, asparagus on toast and other camp delieacies the storm broke. For a while the lddies stuck bravely at their posts in the officers’ mess tent, but the brilliant lightning and sheets of rain at last forced an orderly retreat to Col, Corby’s quarters, and the banquet was left to the fate of the elements. RESCUED BY FR. SHERMAN. Master Gauen Ran Foul of the Pickets and Was Put in the Guard Tent. Father Sherman made a gallant rescue Thursday night. Walter Gauen, aged 11 years, has a big brother in the dst. He came .down to see the troops leave and remained until night fell. Then, in trying to find the street car depot, he stumbled across one of Col. Corby’s vigilant pickets and was put in the guard tent. The little fellow's wails reached _ chaplain’s ears and he secured his re- ease, Walter spent the night in the Post-Dis- atch tent and went on hia way rejoicing ‘riday morning. He says he lives on Bates street, near Dover. FIRM BELIEVER IN BATHS. Col. Gross Makes His Men Take Reg- ulars Dips in the River. Col. Gross of the 31 is a firm believer in cleanliness. He has instructed his captains to pay particular attention to their men in this respect. Bathing parties are organized when a wash is due and under the guard of a “‘non-com” a ms in the river is or- dered, Col, Gross believes this more than aught else accounts for the excellent health of his command. FIRST HEAT PROSTRATION. Private McCorkle of Company A, 4th Regiment, Succumbs at Drill. The 4th is the first to report a case of heat prostration.

The hospital and ambulance services of the armies are everywhere de- ficient and wherever tried have broken down under the Strain. - In 1877, when Russia went to war with Turkey, the com- manders thought their own corps of nurses and medical men equal to any el.ergency that might arise, but after three months their utter inability was demonstrated and the Red ‘Crosse was ordered to the front. It took charge of the work, and in the course of the war spent $17,000,000 wisely and to the perfect satisfaction of the Government. In 1870 the Prussians spent $14,000,000 in relief work, all under the direction of the society. There is no reason to belleve that the American Army is any better equipped in this respect than other armies. The Red Cross will bear the burden of the wounded and sick. —$ ¢¢——______.

The investigation should be comprehensive and thorough, and as tornadoes are no re- Bpecters of State lines, it would seem that the resources of ‘the general Government ought to be directed toward abating their destructive work, if possible.

If Chief Campbell goes into office with clear hands and an unmortgaged future, and with the determination to devote his energies to the work of direct- ing the department e£0 as to give the city honest and efficient police protection, he will gain the confidence and esteem of the people, no matter what the length of his term.

The future is in the hands of the new Chief. = = oT ae: WHY JUSTICE FAILS. The failure of the Grand Jury to indict the corruptionists In and out of the Municipal Assembly goes far to confirm the hints concerning the influences which support and protect evil doers. It is a strange inconsistency that while the indictment and conviction of petty thieves and ruffilans may be procured with comparative ease, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to reach public servants who betray their trusts to great moneyed interests. The social, business and political pressure is too strong for grand and petit jurors and prosecuting officers, However earnest may be the desire to bring offenders to justice, the interests affected find a ‘way to defeat it. They have whips of all sorts and don’t hesitate to crack them. The bill to prevent newspapers printing pictures of our big guns is absurd. The repeated picturing of United States war monsters should have a wholesome effect upon European na- tions. If the guns are big enough, what harm can there be in showing it? If they are too small or of obsolete make, the sooner the fact is known the better. ts — | ee = = * ~~ SS = The Spanish Minister of Marine obligingly publishes Admiral Cervera’s dispatch, announcing his safe arrival at Santiago de Cuba.

It will be a distinct gain for the United States to let the light of civilized methods into these pest holes, even if nothing else were accomplished by the war. = =" When the military authorities will not punish a hoodlum because he is not yet a soldier, and a United States Circuit Attorney refuses to issue a warrant for this same hoodlum on the ground that he is a soldier, where does justice come in? = = The deadly hanging wire comes next to the ineffective car fender as a slayer of innocents.

The meeting opened at 10 o’clock a. m., and they expect to finish the work of equip- ping each member of Light Battery A with a convenient little housewife, containing thread, needles, buttons, tape, etc., to-day. Mrs. P. G. Robert, President of tthe 8&t. Louis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: ‘We are a little behind in supplying the St. Louis boys, as we did not get to work until the morning of the day that the bat- tery left. However, we made 125 knife, fork and spoons cases for them and had them ready at the train before it pulled out. We will finish the housewives to-day and for- ward them to the boys at Chickamauga. We have asked Adjutant-General] Bell for a complete list of the Missouri troops in companies, and if our chapter receives the necessary aid we want to furnish every one of the Missouri boys with a housewife and the knife and fork and spoon case according to their seniority. “This may not be necessary, however, as the president of the U. D. C., Mrs, R. E. Wilson, of Kansas City has issued a call to all of the chapters in the State to take up the work. The chapters which have re- ceived the calls are at Lexington, Kansas City, Higginsville, Liberty and Fayette, and it is expected that they will take up the work vigorously. We will prepare a lunch for the 4th Regiment when it leaves. I think that we should give lunches to all of the troops passing through St. Louig if this is within our power and means, have heard from our chapter in New York City, and they have done excellent work. There is not a man in the troops of New York State who has not been furnished with a housewife, knife, fork and spoon case, sanitary bandages, salt and pepper cases and bags of coffee and tea. Of course they are more able to do this good work on account of the liberal donations to them. “The St. Louis chapter has had a few handsome donations from some well-known dry goods.houses in the city, and we will acknowledge our gratitude through the press. As our meeting has not been ver enerally announced you may say that all adies willing to assist in the work will kindly call at my residence, 2922 Washing- ton avenue, or at the residence of Mrs. C. Cassidy, 1221 North Grand avenue, Any donations of money,’ denim, needles or thread will be most gratefully received by Ss. wULast week a great number of. wives and daughters of Federal soldiers were at work in the guild room, besides the 35 ladies of We are contemplating giving an entertainment in the early part of July for the benefit of the fund, if the war is not over by that time. But it looks as though our fleets will have an_ early chance to repeat the victory at Manila. Our society numbers 8000 and we_ have chapters in all of the Confederate States and in a few of the others, and admirable work has been done since the war broke ‘BULLETS FOR STONES Joseph Hays Shot by John Woods, Who Was Being Bombarded. Joseph Hays, a bricklayer, employed on a new building at Ninth and. Pine streets, was shot in the right thigh Thursday even- ing by John Woods of 613 Carr street, a fellow-workmen. Both men belong to organizations, but to rival ones, and there has been considerable ill ee ‘ : Several days ago Woods prosecuted Chris and Harry Costello in the Police He says he was followed by four of his enemies after quit- ting work.

The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion and the United Daughters of the Con- federacy are arranging to prepare and fur- nish separate lunch boxes to be given to “our soldier boys” when they leave for Chickamauga, and desire that the ladies of the city co-operate with chem, so that on the journey the soldiers will he com- fortable. The plan is to put in paper boxes, well tle up. a half dozen sand- wiches, six hard-bolied eggs, a little pepper and salt, and anything else that Is not easily spolled, such as cake, jelly, an orange or pickles.

ALTHEIMER MAY SEE HIS CHILD, UNDISTURBED, BY HIS WIFE’S RELATIVES. HIS PRELIMINARY VICTORY. — Notable Divorce Case, Bitterly Con- tested, in Which Both Families Are Wealthy and InfluentiaL Another side of the Altheimer divorce case came up in Judge Klein’s courtroom Friday morning, and the plaintiff, Uslysses S. Altheimer, scored a victory over the op- position by getting permission to see his little daughter, Virginia, at noon in -the Planters’ House parlors, undisturbed by the rest of his wife’s family and relations. He was also given permission to have the child’s picture taken unless his wife fur- nished him with a good one, The suit proper is pending before Judge Klein, and would have been tried some days ago had it not happened that other cases ahead of it on the docket have taken so long to try. When it does come up it will develop a rather romantic story, and Ulysses Altheimer’s brother, Maurice L. Altheimer, who is his attorney, is ready to invade the camp of the enemy, although intrenched behind a million of money, The Altheimers are both young men, Maurice having graduated in law here two years ago and then gone to Pine Bluff, Ark., to practice near the home of his father. The senior Althemer is one of the biggest men in Arkansas. His home place, covering about 20,000 acres of ground. The defendant in the case, Ulysses 8. Altheimer, was an actor for awhile and that is how he first made an impression on his wife, who was then Miss Ophella Scharff. Those who know the young man say he is a very good actor and his ap- pearance and manner centainly go to in- dicate as much. The young couple went to live on the Altheimer place, in Arkansas, for some time, as she calls it in her petition, ‘on the charity of her husband’s father.’’ The main allegation against her husband is that he went on two or three big sprees, which left him very sick and nervous af- terward. Since the separation the feeling has been very bitter between the two families, the Scharff side claiming that the *husband has laid plots to steal the baby and the Alt- heimer side charging that the Scharffs have had the husband watched by detectives for the purpose of catching him in some offense or trumping up false charges against him. In his address to the court Friday morn- ing young Maurice told Judge Klein how his brother had been treated when he went to see his little girl at the Scharff home. There were ten members of the Schartt family present in the room and they all stood or sat around in a way to cast a decided damper over the meeting of the father and the child. The meeting at the Planters’ Hotel at noon was quiet and unobtrusive, although the Scharff side had some fears that the father would try to steal his little daugn- ter right from under their noses, ARTHUR LUDWIG OUTCLASSED. Champion Runaway’s Record Broken by Little Ruth Hormuth. Little Ruth Hormuth is only 2 years old, but she loses herself more frequently than any child in Carondelet.’ Her parents live at 6720 Minnesota ave- nue. Whenever Mrs» Hormuth takes her eyes off the child Ruth disappears and wanders along the river bank or into the woods until she is found by a poiiceman. Then her roving is over for the day. The police say tha: the child has been lost four times this week, and that record is hard to beat.

Lozuaway Says Her Hus- band Obtained It by an Untrue Statement of Desertion. A rather peculiar twist has been put into a divorce suit in Judge Spencer's division of the Circuit Ccurt. The defendant in a case filed Aug. 31, 1895, and settled by granting a divorce to the plaintiff in January, 1896, now Gomes in and asks that the decree be set aside and the case be reheard on its merits, If the story of the woman is true she has been made the victim of a cruel deception. In August, 18%, Fred S. Lozuaway filed a suit for divorce from his wife, Annie Lozua- way, to whom he was married in Jackson County, Mo., in 1889. He said that shortly after their marriage she began to show a dislike for him and would leave him for long periods of time. Finally, in April, 188, he says, she deserted him entirely and went to some piace unknown to him. He secured what is called an order of publication, by which he printed a notice in a local paper for a specified period of time. hen his suit went on the default docket, and in the course of time he got his divorce. So matters stood until Friday morning, when the Circuit Clerk received a letter and a motion from Attorney’ Byrd of Northeast Missouri, representing Mrs. Lozuaway, ask-* ing that the decree be set aside, She says in the motion that just before the filing of the divorce petition the wife went to Salt Lake City with the knowledge and con- sent of her husband for the purpose of seek- ing employment for both of them. He knew where she was, she says, because they kept up a constant correspondence, and were on the most friendly terms imaginable. Ha told her then in his letters that he would join her in Salt Lake City as soon ase he could get the money to buy a railroad ticket. Never once, she says, did he men- tion the divorce business. She says now thet she has been unfair- ly treated and imposed upon, and that the divorce was not fairly obtained, and that she wae always and is now ready to return to him. Her attorney asks that a copy of the motion be served on Mr. Loguaway at 1016 Newstead avenue. “A JASPER COUNTY SLEUTH. Thinks John Jones Is Guy Russell Be- cause He Is Uncommunicative, Socrates Trexler, a private detective of Latona, Jasper County, Ill, writes to the Post-Dispatch that he thinks he has a line on young Guy Russell, who mysteriously disappeared from the Baptist Sanitarium in this city a week ago. “A young man answering Mr. Russell's description was here Tuesday,” writea De- tective Socrates Trexler, “and he seemed to be in trouble. He went east from this iiace, I think something was wrong w im. He refused an offer to work and did not ask for employment. He would not tell where he lived or where he was going. “tie called at the poetoffice and asked for a letter to John Jones. He received one letter and broke it open and read it, but would not tell who it was from. He sa t earound a short time and left and I doubt if that is his true name.’ Detective Socrates Trexler says in con- clusion that if the mysterious John Jones is the right man he could soon lay hands upon him.

Tht ENGLISH DERBY, THE GREATEST RACE OF THE YEAR TO BE RUN NEXT WEEK. PLAUDIT AND LIEBER KARL. Those Two Horses Meet at Oakley To- Morrow, and It Will Very Likely Be Their Last Meeting. The race of the year that still, in spite of everything, retains the greatest glamor about it, is the English Derby. The contest for the Blue Ribbon of the English turf is a particularly open one this year. The 3-year-olds across the water are “all of a heap,” and if the American rep- resentatives, Archduke and Bridegroom, were patterned on the plan of a Hamburg or a Plaudit, the triumph of Iroquois would be repeated this year The English Derby will be decided on the historic Epsom Downs race track next Boston at Cincinnati.

Washington, 7; Chicago, 0. A large crowd of “‘rooters’’ went out to Sportsman's Park yesterday to see the first game of the series between the Browns and the New Yorks. The Browns managed to make one run in the seventh inning and just escaped be- ing shut out. © While the St. Louls players fielded well they were unable to touch the ball. Both Daniels and Doheny pitched well. Daniels, who twirled for the Browns, has improved greatly and bids fair to turn out @s strong a southpaw as any in the League. Doheny, the New York twirler, is young in the business, but is as steady as a vet- eran, Several attempts were made to rattle him yesterday, but ‘without success. Up to the sixth inning the game was very interesting. The score was 2 to 0 in favor of the Giants. In the seventh inning the Giants scored four runs. After this the Browns tried hard to score, but could not make connection with the ball. Ducky Holmes played the right garden in place of Turner, and is credited with two of the five hitg made by the home. team, both being bunts. Gleason, Hartman and Grady, ex-Browns, and Joyce, the 8t. Louls boy, played good ball for the Giants. Grady, who is the Giants’ star receiver, layed short yesterday in place of. George Javis, who was injured last Tuesday in Pittsbu by a thrown ball. Davis’ hand was badly lacerated, and he will be out of the game for severa) weeks, The Browns and the New Yorks play the second game of their series to-day. Taylor or Sudhoff will pitch for the Browns and the only Amos Rusie ts slated to do the twirling for the Giants. SMITH ACADEMY BOYS. They Win a Glorious Victory Over the High School Team.

Dis-aell, a compact, balanced son of the great Galopin, won the Two Thousand Guineas, April 27, and is consequently the leading favorite for the Derby at 2% to l.

Gladstone. Miss Marion won the Debutante Stakes at the Fair Grounds pooner ina walk. The favorite, Katle Gibboss, got away in front, but died quickly and could finish no bet- ter than fifth.

Ap exporter of grain says that Europe has heay- ily overbought, especially on wheat, and that they will bave to copsume what they already have be- fore they will become good buyers again.

C. F. Stemme by his chief, J. Harry Randall, as exclusively published in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, has caused the biggest kind of a commotion in ad- ministration circles, Neither the commis- sioner nor his assistant with the Pefferian beard are overpopular, both being hold- overs from the Walbridge regime, and it is said if their terms were up the Mayor would take great pleasure in naming new men for the positions. President McMath of the Board of Public improvements, whose assistant Randa]] is, large extent, has never been on good ete th him, and has shown it in his open criticisms of Randall’s acts and re- fusal to approve his payrolls and public ex- pense account, But in the quarrel between Mas his chief it is plain the former BL sympathies of the pa gh poses to make the most_of Stemme and Randall were ‘both candi- gatse for President of the pore of Public improvements at the last city election, and hile Stemme led his chief in the number of votes in the convention, Mr. McMath knocked both of them out and won the lum. Relations between all three have een strained since. Stemme does not propose to be discharged if he can help it and has appealed to eg Mayor and City Counselor to save Friday the Mayor sen@for Randall, gtemme and the City Counselor, but up to noon Randall had not shown up. The question to be decided is whether Randall has the power to dismiss without filing charges. He has filed none. Stemme demands charges and a trial, either before the Mayor or City Council. According to resident McMath, Ran- dall’s dismissal of Stemme stands, as he has the right under the law to discharge subor- dinates. The Ma oer had a long talk with Stemme, but would not talk for publication until he and the City Counselor had tried the case, with Randall and Stemme present.

I may never get back to America. Whatever happens, Mag- gie, take care of our sister Rosie and see that no evil befalls her.”’ This, the closing paragraph in a letter from one of Admiral Dewey's heroic sailors, addressed to Maggie Kuhl of 508 South Broadway, resulted in the finding of Rosie, the sister of Maggie and the sailor, in a place of sin, where ‘her life had been wrecked. While Jacob Kuhl fought for his nation and the honor of its men under the.sun of the tropics and the rain of Spanish lead, his own sister, the darling of his heart, was being led from the path of rectitude. When the letter from far off China reached Maggie she began a search at once for the sister who had been confided to her care when their brother sailed away on the Olympia two years ago. Maggie had supposed that Rosie was in the employ of a respectable family as a domestic, but the letter roused her to a greater sense of her duty, as Rosie's guardian, and she feared that she had not kept as close a watch on the younger girl as she should. After days and nights of hunting Rosie was found in a Chestnut street resort. She wept with shame and lef when Maggie showed her the letter from their brother and vowed she would sin no more. Rosie is a striking blonde of ample pro- Portions who inclines to the nautical style of dress. Although her education is abridged on general topics she talks intel- mye oe 4 of the navy, showing that she ie a faithful reader of war news.

When Carl Decker went to Havana with the express purpose of liberating Miss Cis- neros, he found a trusted lieutenant in the srson of Mr. Carbonell, although like Mr. Yecker, he was at the time unacquainted with the fair young Cuban. When the night of the rescue from the Havana prison came Mr. Carbonel was at Decker’s side during the affair. To Carbonel was intrusted the duty and privilege of accompanying the girl to New York.

Mrs. Beimfohr is suing for $2000 insurance on her husband's life.
