Passengers on the morning trains over the Burlington could plainly see the two bodies dangling from the same limb as they passed, and the crowds gathered shouted to the passengers to stop and see the other hangings which were sure to come off soon. From all accounts that can be hastily gathered it is learned that both the dead men confessed their guilt and admitted holding the Marshal while the third man shot him down. .

In the mean- time people had commenced to flock in from all parts of the surrounding country either to see the sights or to take part in any deeds of vengeance that might be suggested.

It looked at first like a torpedo boat, and every ship in the fleet watched her in- tently. The Spanish flag was seen flying at her stern, while something not quite distinguishable was fluttering from the foretop. As she drew near this was made out to be a white flag of truce. The little Vixen. which is always near in shore nosing around Jooking for trouble, was the nearest warship. She steamed upto the crait and found her to be the Spanish tug- | hoat Colon. As Capt. Bustamente y Ovideo, Admiral Cervera’s chief of staff, ranked the commander of the Vixen, no negotiations were possible, so the Vixen escorted her to the New York. Every sailor aboard crowded in the rigging as the Colon puffed up within 100: A fine looking officer in full Spanish naval untiorm, with gold lace and sword was seen standing on the quarter deck. The Colon ran a! longside and beought the Spanish officer to the iron ladder, up which he clambered, saluting the officer of the deck as he sat foot on the New York. There was great excitement on the flagship and the other vessels as to the purpose of the mission and a thousand eyes followed Capt. Ovideo as he was escorted aft. An orderly informed Admiral Sampson of Capt. The Ad- miral at first thought he: had come to propose terms of surrender, and received him with the greatest courtesy. He was shown a seat opposite to Admiral Sampson while all the other officers present remained standing. After exchange of saluta- tions Capt.

Miles’ Report Has Stirred Up War Department Officials. WASHINGTON, June 6.—The War Department officials are moving to Im- prove conditions’ at Tampa and vicinity. Gen. Miles has made some pretty sharp reports to the Department criticising the conditions there, and every effort is mak- ing to improve them. The General represented among other matter of complaint that railroad cars were stalled for a distance of 10 miles from Tampa, making it im- possible to get at the supplies that are absolutely essential to the embarkation of troops for Cuba. The railroad officials, however, are doing all they can to assist the Quartermaster’s Department in clearing up this confusion, and Secretary, Alger to-day said he was confident that matters would be straightened out in a day or two, FIXING PHILIPPINE IMPORT RATES, NEW YORK, June 6.—A especial from Washington says: President McKinley will forward to Major-General Merritt, Military Governor of the Philippine Islands, within the next few days the schedule of rates to be applied to imports into the district which he will govern. Under instructions his first act after the destruction or surrender of Spain's military power in the far East will be to declare Manila an open port and Rear Ad- miral Dewey will accordingly raise the blockade. By this means it is confidently expected in officials circles that trade with the Philippines will be immediately re- sumed by foreign merchants and by taxing the goods which they will bring inte the country a eatisfactory revenue will be obtained.

The protest is based on the fact that it would be a breach of neutrality for Britain to permit her territory to be used for such hostile purposes. Col. Hay also recently drew the attention of the Foreign Office to pet portations from Great Britain of war munitions for Spain. SPAIN’S SECOND FLEET HAS NOT SAILED.

Powell, who took com- mand of the New York's steam launch and lay under the batteries for many hours. until he was satisfied from his own observation that the Merrimac had gone down before he returned to the flagship.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL sham battle was the event to-day. The bat- tle was between the rigiments composing the lst Division of the 3d Corps and about | 10,000 men participated. This division, which is commanded by Brigadier-General Fred Grant, is doing unusually hard work and is rapidly becoming proficient in all branches of military training. The officers, one and all, from Gen. Brooke down, are congratulating them- selves on the excellent appearance of all the camps and the perfect success of the sanitary precautions and. the remarkable healthfulness of the men in the camp. It is a matter of most favorable comment that in an army of more than 40,000 men there should be such little sickness, especially in viiw of the fact that the changes made by the me. in climate, been so redical. The supply depot has now over a million rations and has provided ample storage- room for from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 more ra- tions if it should be needed.

The Bank of Spain, it is said, will advance, when necessary, in installments | the sum of 1,000,000,000 pesetas, the amount of the loan, and undertakes the fgreign expenses of the army and navy. The Government, it is added, estimates that it has sufficient resources for séveral months. HOBSON’S REWARD NOT YET DECIDED. WASHINGTON, June 6.—The promotion . Hobson, the hero of Santiago, is under consideration by the Navy Department. Acting Secretary Alien and Commodore Hichborn, chief of the Bu- reau of Naval Construction talked it over in store for Lieut. | to-day but no conclusions were reached. The Department is desirous of knowing what would be most acceptabie to Hobson himeseif, and when this is learned a recom- mendation will be made to Congress. The present indications are that Hobson will de made a line officer, as that ensures not only an increase of pay, but an opportunity to rise to the more conspicuous fine posi- tion of Admiral. At present Mobson is ah Assistant Con- Structor with the relative rank of Lieuten- ant, Junior Grade. It develops, howevet that within the next four weeks he would have secured a promotion to the tank of Constructor, relative rank Full Lieutenant in the usual course of advancement. . About the only expedient is to give him a romotion as line officer, probably as leutenant Commander or Commander. There is some doubt, however, whether an officer who has shown much genius in the scientific branch of the naval service would care to leave that service for the line. Con- gratulations will be sent to Hobson as soon as there is an opportunity to communicate with him, MEDALS FOR HOBSON AND CREW. WASHINGTON, June 6.—Representative Hartman of Montana has introduced a joint resolution direct.ng Secretary of the Navy Long to have prepared and delivered sultable medals of honor to Lieut.

NEW YORK, June 6.—‘The Inevitable Destiny of America and the Inexplicable Opposition to the Annexation of Hawaii” was the subject of a sermon Areas by the Rev. Thomas Dixon in the Grand Opera souse last night. Among other things he said: “In Washington to-day there is a group of men who have been sen: there by the people. They are supposed to be the hon- ored men of their respective portions. of the country, but in some of these men we again have the picture of the disconsolate Southerner. They are cherishing the past, a criminal past. These are the men who stand between our gallant admiral at Ma- nila and perhaps the lives and safety of our noble sailors. They are the men who stand against the annexation of the Ha- waiian Islands. “At the present time the annexation of these islands is a grave necessity to the United States. As a coaling station they are the key to the situation in the great western ocean. Yet these few men, who are cherishing a dead past, stand in the way of annexation. ‘'™,.e Hawatian islands are to-day the outposts of our western frontier. They are the key to power in the Pacific ocean, and for our own protection we must have them, They are necessary for the protection of our sailors in Manila at present, and they may be pg ag | for the protection of our nation in the future. Suppose that any other nation should seize them, France, Germany, Russia or England, and after- ward there should be a war between either of them and this country. What then would be our fate? Everything shows that in case of trouble the islands are the com- manding points of the Pacific. Without them it will be impossible for us to hold our advantage gained at Manila. Our warships and troopships all are forced to stop there for coal and provisions. “In my opinion any m who votes against the annexation of islands is guilty of high treason."’ —-— NEW AND TERRIBLE SHELL IS INVENTED. NEW YORK, June 6.—-Since the discovery of high explosives the military and scien- tific experts of two continents have been cudgling their brains to perfect a shell to throw them, says the New York Press. An officer in the United States army has prac- tically completed a device which gdye 8 will perform this hitherto impossible task. Pierce ig ihe officer's name, and as there are only two of this name in the regular army, one of whom is post chaplain in Fort Apache, Ariz., it is reasoned that the other Pierce is the man. He is P. E. Pierce, instructor in West Point Mili.ary Academy and Second Lieutenant of the Second Infan- an the try. Every fact connected with the invention is hedged about with secrecy. It is no denied that the device is not far from actual] completion. This fact alone >» sufficient to set the whole scientific worfd agog. It is possible «hat it is so far advanced that it may be tried on the Spaniard. It is known that this is hoped to be done, but 60 sedulously is the whole matter guarded that it is not even known where «he ex- periments are being conducted or how far they have progressed. The invention is a detonating fuse for a shell to fire high explosives. Such a fuse, it is believed, will advance ten years the day when war will no more be waged be- cause of its very destructiveness. T min- ute an American rifle hurls a shell of this kind successfully at an enemy all other shelis will be as antiquated as rifles without magazines. The day that witnesses perfection of such a shell will relegate «¢o a position of secondary importance billions of dollars’ worth of ammunition stored in the arsenals of Europe. So say ordnance experts. BRIG.-GEN. KING GOES TO SAN FRANCISCO. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 6.—Brigadier- General Charlies King of Wisconsin left last night for San Francisco. Gen.

Judge David Murphy threw the harpoon into Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John- son Monday morning by discharging a negro charged with petit larceny and ordering that the costs be assessed against Col.

The following aay the negro was arrested and put in all. - When the case was called Monday Judge Murphy donned his war paint. He looked savage and ordered the prisoner released. “This man should never have been ar- rested,” he said. “The policeman who made the arrest should be prosecuted for making illegal arrest. I am surprised that Johfison should have issued the war- rant. He has. been practise law long enough to know that he was unwarranted in doing such a thing. Owen is only charged with committing a misdemeanor and the statute of Imitation is only a year. That time has elapsed and there can be no legal prosecution. “[ discharge the defendant and order that the costs be assessed against Mr. indignant Johnson.”’ Col. Johnson was when he heard of the court’s action. I am tired of hearing of his remarks about me from the bench.” he said. ‘The case was a clear one. When the warrant was issued it lacked more than a week of being a year from the time of the alleged theft... The police were*unable to find Owen prior to that time. I assure you I shall not pay the costs in this case. I did only my duty. My acts will bear in- vestigation. It would not hurt anything to throw the searchlight on Judge Murphy's official acts.’’ KNOCKED DOWN BY A HORSE. Henry Christian Trampled, but Es- caped Without Serious Injury.

Badly Ventilated Building Causes Them to Send Out a False Alarm. The automatic fire alarm bells in the Mansur Tebbitts Carriage Co.'s building, at 1013 Spruce etreet, cut up high jinks at 4 o'clock Monday morning, and had a dozen firemen on the run. Investigation showed tt to be a false alarm. The freak is explained on the theory that the natural heat in the building and the lack of ventilation set the bells agoing.

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS the West, OFF BANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 3,7 a. m., Via Port Antonio, Jamaica—Delayed in tranr- mission.—By one of the most brilliant ex- has beet driven into the bottle of Santiago de Cuba DISPATCH BOAT DAUNTLESS, ploits in naval annals the oork and the Spanish fleet could not be more se- cure were the entrance to that the sea. Lieut Hoveon of the flag- Richmond P. ship New York, with a volunteer crew of Seven men, under cover of the darkness afier the moon had set, shortly oclock this morning, ran the big collier Merrimac into the throat of the harbor, swung her broadside to across the channe, and then exploded and sank her. He suc- ceeded in this desperate enterprise under the fires of the batteries and forts which guara the entrance without support from the fleet. Ensign Powell also of the New York, with @ steam launch crept close under the guns of Morro Castle to take off the heroes of the Merrimac, and reenained there pluck- iy until daylight discovered his posit.on, without seeing a trace of the Merrimac’s darin crew. To have remained longer would have been sheer madness. As ‘t was he retired under a heavy fire from Mauser rifles d the heavy guns of the batteries Lieut. Hooson and his men are nov Span- ish prisoners, as a flag of truce announces, and wili be exchanged in due course of time, but, that their mission was success- ful adm.ts of no doubt. Ensign Powell dis- tinctly saw the spars of the wrecked ship in the middle of the channel. Lieut. Hob- eon planted her at the very point he had se- lecte Cushing's memorable feat in blowing up the Confederate ram Albemarle is yver- matched by Hobson's act, for Cushing's men crept up Albermarile Sound at mid- night and fell upon an unsuspecting foe, Hobson took his oi over 300 feet long, into the very focus of the battery with the enemy at the guns and blew her up. Dis- covery at the end of his journey was in- evitable and death was almost certain. No name, therefore, can be written higher on war's temple of fame than his. Like Cush- ing’s Hobson's desperate undertaking was conceived by him who executed it. When Rear Admiral Simpson joined Com. modore Schley on Wednesday the latter had already ascertained that It would be impossible for the fleet to crawl] into the mt hole in which. the Spanish filcet had taken refuge. The mines across the en- trance and the batteries which commanded it made the mere contemplation of it an act of folly. Commodore Schley wae inclined to think the dynamite cruiser’ Vesuvius might be able to countermine, but the ships wouid have to go in aingle file, and If one sank in the channel progress of others would be stopped. It was then Lieut. Hobson con- ceived the scheme of sinking «a big collier @crose the harbor entrance and asked to be allowed to execute it himself. It seemed cer- fain death and almost certain failure, as the odds were overwhelmingly against reaching the entrance before discovery, but Hobson was #0 enthusiastic that his con- fidence was infectious and the Admira! finally reluctantly gave his consent. Lieut. Hobson's chief anxiety was that in the dark he might miss the narrow gut and run on the shoals on the west of the entrance,. To prevent the possiblity of this the — of allowing the Merrimac to run in under the Spanish flag with the fleet in feigned pursuit, firing blank cartridges and blazing the ey of the harbor entrance with searchlights, was considered, but abandoned, because among other reasons lieut. Hobson and his volunteer crew did not want to die if their lives should be eacrificed under false colors. the Admirals consent was ob- ai . Hobson became impatient of all “pe 4 and that very night (Wednesday) after the moon went down, he set the time for the attempt. Volunteers were called for on all the ships of the fleet and to the credit of the American Navy be is eaid that few fiilnched. Whole cheering crews stepped forward at the summons for the hazardous duty. About 300 on board the New York, some 180 on board the Iowa and a like progerttes from the other ships, vol- unteered, but Lieut. Hobson, like the hero he ta, decided to risk as few lives as pos- eibie. He picked three men from the New York and three from the Merrimac. The latter were n in the service, but they knew the ship and had pleaded hard to go and one man stowed away on board the collier. Six men selected from various ships, w'th Powell in command, manned the aunch which was to Ile at. the harbor mouth and take off those who escaped. Merrimac was made ready. Six tor- pedoes were strung along her port s'de with wire connections to the bridge.

It was that calm hour before dawn when life is at its lowest ebb and the tide runs out, carrying mortais with it. Slowiy the seconds of fate ticked on 4s, for an hour, 3000 strained eyes strove to pierce the deep veil of night. Suddenly severa! blood-red tongues of flame shot down from the rocky eaninence which Morro is situated. They were followed by Jets and streams of fire from the batteries opposite. The Merrimac reached the entrance of the harbor. She , ust have passed so close that a stone _leosened from the frowping parapet in the castle would have fa.len on one deck. Into the murderous hail showered down on her the Merrimac passed and moved on a full quarter of a mile, enfiladed from ! * rear and front with a plunging fire from the batteries. It seemed a miracle that her apparently riddled huil could have reached the goal. After five minutes the fire ceased and all became dark aga.n. Then, among the watchers of the fleet arose the question as to whether those five minutes of murder had left grief-stricken mothers or widows or orphans. Mother, wife, sister or sweet- bart may have been dreaming of her loved one, all unconscious of the fact that the object of her dream was earning fame, per- haps with his life. During the next half hour, while the fleet silentiy waited in suspense for the coming of the day, many fingers itched at the lanyards of the guns and many a gunner’s mate _ besought ermission to fire. “ut nothing could be enadby An ill-directed «. ot might kill our men, possibly struggling in the water toward the open sea.

SPLENDID ANIMAL FATALLY INJURED. DRIVERS ALL ESCAPED INJURY BY THE NARROWEST MARGINS. UNUSUAL INCIDENT IN CROWDED STREETS. . Business Suspended for Many Blocks and Much Interest Manifested in the Results of the Accident. Walter, a magnificent black horse belong- ing to the American Express Co., was fa- tally injured Monday morning in a run- away in which he was a principal. The tongue of a dray was driven. into his throat 13 inches, narrowly missing the jugular vein and windpipe, and probably penetrating the lung. The runaway was most exciting, and drew an immense crowd to Eighth and Chestnut streets. Three men and a boy narrowly escaped death, and two horses besides Walter were painfully braised and cut. Max Bleck was driving the team of blacks of which Walter was one, for the American Expréss Co. Both animals are beauties. With Block on the wagon was Henry Mc- Nict@te=a boy employed to watch the team while Block made deliveries, The teagn was standing in front of the Wainwright building. facing west on Chest- nut street.

The grocery team reared slightly just before the collision, and Walter, the off horse of the express team, received the—tongue squarely in his neck where itJetns the body. The blunt:end of the tongue and the chains cros:ed over it disappeared amid a spurt of blood in the big horse’s neck. He groaned ‘and quieted down instantly, only to rear back the next moment, freeing him- self from the wooden tongue. The blood poltred out in @ great stream, dyeing the Rranite street crimson for a espace of a dozen square yards. Instantly the plunging horses were sur- rounded by a mass of excited men. Block ran up, his grief at the injury to his fa- vorite forcing tears to his eyes. Under bis direction Walter was unhitched and taken quickly to Gelger’s livery stable, half a block away, where the gaping wound was closed as well as possible by stuffing clean rags into it. Walter bore the pain without complaint or excitement. The grocery team was only slightly bruised and scratched. O’Malley’s escape was a lucky one.

No place is dearer to the hearts of the people than Shaw's Garden and they would visit it oftener on Sundays, if possible. But, according to the provision of Mr. Shaw's will, it can only be open to the publio two Sundays each year—the first Sunday of June and September.

GAS BLOWS UP A MANHOLE Mrs. Martha Noell and Little Son Injured. ON CARR STREET AT , THE TIME OF EXPLOSION. BOTH WERE THROWN INTC THE ATR AND THEIR CLOTHES ALMOST TORN OFF. HEAVY IRON PIECE WAS SHATTERED TO FINE BITS. Buildings in the Neighborhood Were Shaken by the Report and Many Windows Were Enocksd Out. Deadly gas that has several times men- aced life in St. Louis through the medium of underground wire conduits nearly caused a double. fatality Monday morning. Mre. Martha Noell and her 6-year-old boy, Thomas, of 1759 Preston place, were badly injured by the explosion of gas in a con- duit In the alley back of Carr street, be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth atreets. The woman was leading the boy by the hand and the two were directly on one of the large iron manholes. A terrific force lifted them into the air and their screams were drowned by the detonation of the explosion. The massive iron cap of the manhole was shattered into small pieces. Mrs. Noell and her boy were hurled to one side. That they escaped instant death was wonderful. Mrs. Noel's clothing was torn and much of it was stripped from her body. She was bruised and patches of skin were torn from various parts of her person. There seemed to be no broken bones, but she is supposed to have sustained internal injuries. The little boy was frightened more than hurt. His clothing was torn to shreds and he was badly bruised. Mother and son were sent home. The explosion shook buildings for blocks and many windows were knocked out. DIVIDED TRYING TO UNITE. —a Northern and Southern Presbyterian Churches of St. Charles. An unexpected solution of the Presbyte- rian Church union question at St. Charlee has been reached. The solution involves a division of the Northern church and a union between one of its factions and the Southern church. This has come about only after a long, tedious struggle to effect a coi@,cte union, which engendered considerable bitter feel- ing. The history of the separation of these two churches is an interesting reminder of war times. Before the civil war the Presbyterian Church was the most flourish- ing at St. Charles. The war split the church, and since then the North and South factions have remained apart, with grad- ually declining success. The Southern church had the larger congregation, while — Northern congregation was the wealth- er. Several months ago, Rev. Mr. Ferguson pastor of the Northern Church, propose a union and resigned his pastorate in order to leave the churches free, so far as the election of a pastor was concerned. Many propositions were made by both sides looking to a union. The _ propert question proved the stumbling block. Bot congregations own edifices and real estate. It was found, afteg nerotiations began, that a clause in the deed of the property of the Northern Church forbade that con- gregation from ever going into the South- ern General Assembly without the loss of the property. Although at the gtart, the prospect promised a union, the progress of the ne- gotiations caused the stirring up of all war-time bitterness and it was soon ap- parems that a complete union wags impos- sible. A large faction in the Northern Church was bent on the union, however, and kept up the agitation. The other faction held out persistently, and the result was a bitter fac- tional difference in that congregation, Several rather exciting meetings were held, each of which. resulted in widening the breach in the church. The difference be- tween the factions finally became persona! and during the past week those who favored a union decided to leave the Northern Church and join the Southern as individuals, They have taken preliminary steps in this direction. Because of his advocacy of the union Rev. Mr. Ferguson fell into disfavor with those of his congregation who op- osed it, and it is probable that he will asked to preach the balance of his term to the increased Southern congregation. Those who are leaving the Northern for the Southern church have expressed a desire that he be invited to do this, and their wishes will doubtless be deferred to in this matter. The faction that has taken this decisive step toward union numbers about ®. among them one of the wealthiest la- dies in the Northern church. The Northern ee ty is reduced by this union to a emall, but determined num- ber. They declare they will contiuue to hold the church property and maintain a church as long as breath remains in their dies. The town has been considerably worked up over the efforts of the two churches to unite. At one time it wae gested that the question be left to arditration com- mittee, but this idea was abandoned on ac- count of the difficulty of securing arbi- terse who were entirely unprejudiced.

WAS JUST EMPLOYED AS RECORDER’S CLERK. His Father’s Grief Intense When the Body of the Young Man Was Found and Towed Ashore by Friends. Raymond Bruno's pleasure trip to Span- ish Lake ended in his death. Saturday at midnight he was the leading spirit in a company of jovial young fellows who left Taylor and’ Delmar avenues in & four-horse van for a moonlight ride to the fishing grounds. Monday he lay, a blackened corpse, on the bank of the lake. The dead youth was % years old. He is a son of John R. Bruno, a fish merchant of Union Market. Jhe family ‘hve at oU Kensington avenue. The drowning of Bruno was unusually sad because of the circumstances that sur- rounded it. He went swimming Sunday afternoon, and being an excel.ent swimmér, he Was oing to entertain his friends with an exhi- Fition of aquatic feats. But that dread foe of the bather, cramps, overpowered him and when Bruno's friends saw the water ciose over him, after the first dive, they had seen the last of him alive. His body was recovered Monday morning and will be brought to St, Louis in the even- ing if the Coroner at Clayton can finish the inquest by that t.me, : In the party that went to Spanish Lake with Bruno were Andrew Young, Will Hotze, Fraak Talby, Louis Elzy, Henry Sutermeier, M. Mockier and Frank Young. They were a joily jot, bound for a duy's outing and plenty of fun. Spanish Lake is 15 miles northeast from the city and a pleasant drive. The company had a band of stringed instruments and the journey was enlivened with song and instrumental music. The morning hours were spent in fishing and rollicking. Bruno was especially liveiy and mirthful. He was to take a new post- tion in the Recorder of Deed’s office Mon- day morning and he said he wanted to en- joy Sunday, as it would be his last day of rest. Along in the afternoon the heat became intense and Bruno decided to seek comfort in the coo.ing waters of the lake. A number of the party had come home by train immediately after dinner and An- drew Young, Talby, E.zy and Sutermeier were all who remained with Bruno. There is a big bridge about 100 yarde long crossing the lake at its narrowest point. The bridge is about 10 feet ahove the water and ords an ideal perch from which to dive. ; Bruno took off all but his underclothin ane ran out on the bridge a distance of eet. ; Talby and Elzy were reclining under the trees and they and Bruno exchanged good- natured jests as the latter climbed up on the handrail, preparatory to the plunge. ‘“‘Look out, Ray,’’ one of the men on the bank called, “you'll get wet.’ “Oh, I’m not afraid,’’ he cried back, lau hingly. His hands met above his head, his body inclined forward, he leaned far oyt and as his body became almost horizontal he eaped and in the same instant cleft the placid surface of the water, clean and true, “Capital dive!’’ those on the bank shouted. ‘Wonder how far he will go under wa- ter?’ mused one. Bruno was an expert swimmer and diver and his companions expected some unusual feat. They scanned the water for a full minute expecting to see Bruno’s head b up a some prodigious distance from where he went down. “He's been under a long time,” said both at the same moment. They waited perhaps another minute. The myriad cir@les and waves caused by Bruno’s plunge had all disappeared, and the surface 0 the lake was mirror-like. The conviction that their friend nad drowned seized ee and Elzy, and they for the others, wet was made beneath the bridge and in the little coves along the shore In a vain hope that Bruno had swum under water to some hiding place to trick them. Telegrams were sent to the ‘nimily, but they were received too late for any one to go to the lake Sunday night. All of the party who went out to the lake Saturday returned home Sunday nigat by train. i. rhe home coming was a sorrowful con- trpat to the outward 5 cnday mornin his brother Leopota and H. J.

Since Mr. and Mrs. William Bhrr of New York donated $1000 to be used by the School Board in establishing manual training and cooking departments in connection with the Public Schools, there has been some speculation as to who will be appointed to direct these departmenta. It i@ said that some members of the Board favor bringing a chef from New York to teach cookery. Others who believe in encouraging home industry, oppose this, Miss Elizabeth Gladfelter, a teacher in the Bryan Hill School, living at 472) North Twentieth street, who has conducted a private cooking school some years, is being urged to apply for the position.

FREEDOM FOR CUBA. JUSTICE—LIBERTY—HUMANITY. THE KNOCK-OUT BLOW. A@miral Cervera is completely bottled in Santiago harbor. His fleet fe innocuous to the United States and useless ‘to But Havana is untouched. Havana is the center—the very core—of Spanish power in Cuba. While Havana holds out Spain has hopes and the Spanish power has a stronghold in Cuba. The Cuban cause will not be won until Havana is taken. The smashing of Havana's fortifications would strike Spain's vital spot. It would be a death blow both in a physical and moral sense to Spain's claim of sovereignty in Cuba. Bivery Gay renders the work of reducing Havana more dif- foult. {[t is estimated that the defenses are 60 per cent mow than they were when war was declared. The are energetically working to increase their strength. Why not smash Havana at once? Why give the Spaniards time still further to improve their position? The navy can do the work. Why not deliver the knockout blow and end the * war? On to Havana! ' , i Admiral Dewey hails from Vermont. Lieut. Hobson is from Alabama. New England and the South share the honors of skill and daring in exploits which have thrilled the world. The chasm is sealed. A MAGNANIMOUS MESSAGE. Admiral Cervera's generous action with regard to the pris- ongrs of the Merrimac, immediately after their capture, will be appreciated by the American people. : No obligation rested upon him to do this, save that imposed by his own sense of the courtesy due to an honorable foe. He went out of his way to testify to the heroism of his enemies. And in doing so he published his own magnanimity as brave men may. incident is gratifying and especially helpful.

And it comes just after we have demon- Strated the excellence of our workmanship by the most ex- iy @eting of all tests—war. : ves Victory in arms is not the only good or glory to be obtained by S peace. We —— —— periority will come quickly fn the shape of extension of trade invited by all nations. The need of better streets should blind no citizen to the dan- ger of having the enormous sum raised for them misspent. Let every voter contemplate our present great debt and our heavy interest payments before making up his mind to place his property in the hands of spoilsmen. _ «>. - Te UNLIMITED TAXATION. Mayor Ziegenhein’s remark that he wanted to put $20,000,000 into street improvements has apparently fixed in the public mind the limit of taxation under the charter amendments. jut why twenty million? Why not forty million, or one hun- dred million? There is no limit in the provision of the amend- ments on the special taxes that may be laid on private prop- erty for public improvements. The amendments relating to street, alley and Sewer improve- ments place it within the power of the Board of Public Im- provements and the Municipal Assembly to mortgage the property of citizens to any amount these bodies may see fit. Let us suppose a ring of contractors and spoilsmen, operat- ing through a party machine, should get control of the city government. What is to prevent it from confiscating by need- less improvements and repairs the property of citizens? Would a corrupt ring be satisfied with less than a practical confisca- tion of the property at its mercy? Are citizens willing to turn over, in addition to the city | treasury, all their real estate to a party machine? ooo - _—__ ______—- The second term ambition of our Presidents and the obliga- tions incident to the campaign fund are two great evils from which the American people suffer. If Mr. McKinley were a one-term man there would be no “papa” appointments in the army; and the public service, both military and civil, would be greatly benefited, for Mr. McKinley and every other intel- ligent American citizen knows pretty well his country’s needs. —_e ee _—_______—_ patch excellent advice to the modern girl. Recognizing the new conditions of to-day, Mrs. Davis pointed out that a girl should adapt herself to them with the least possible sacrifice of the finer qualities of womanhood. Mrs. Davis’ frequent contributions on subjects of interest to women are attractive features of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. >a ~ wo Lovers of songbirds will rejoice at the victory of the Audu- bon Society in Illinois in forcing the release of birds trapped for millinery and other purposes. There are so many ways of ornamenting hats without destroying birds that there is little excuse for sacrificing any bird to feminine vanity. i i If the Real Estate Exchange votes right on the charter amendments, the people may also vote right. In real estate, taxation is a highly important feature, and we not only have streets to improve but we must meet other large expenses that have increased with the city’s growth. A Mr. Whitney is believed to be the owner of the Massa- chusetts Legislature. Mr. Whitney is a gas man. If a com- monwealth so enlightened as Massachusetts is supposed to be is governed by one man, who was never elected to govern it, what can be expected of other States? Does a manufacturing firm, before locating its plant in a city, inquire about tax rates and the probability of an increase or decrease of tax burdens? Do huge city debts and large in- terest payments attract manufacturers or other large busi- ness enterprises? | When municipal ownership is growing everywhere in favor, it would be absurd for St. Louis toyvote for any charter amendment permitting the sale of our Waterworks. If we cannot take any steps forward let us by no means take any backward. = = " — > It is a mistake to suppose that foul air in an alley is any less foul than if it were made in the front or back yard. Every filthy alley is a menace to the health of every family near it. Greater New York's new issue of bonds is only $1,000,000 more than our proposed $20,000,000. New York, Brooklyn and St. Louis have all been managed under the spoils system. This year’s sales of wool in Boston have been 94,154,190 pounds less than in the same period of 1897. It is fortunate that the Government has come in as a large purchaser. If Spain's spies have been faithful to her, she must have learned by this time the hopelessness of contending with a power whose resources are inexhaustible. a The big Sunday Post-Dispatch is giving the war in colors. No other Western journal has the artistic facilities of St. Louis’ favorite Sunday newspaper. = — a a The Government has been spending $1,000,000 a week in St. Louis, but nowhere has it received more for its money. p> - - ~ POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS.

The Irowns have fr-ached tail end, and will doubtless hold the Place against al’ comers, : It Is gratifying to know that third, fourth and fifth calls may be made and that we shall still have enough officers.

Thomas Fortune, colored, prophetically eays that “the black millionaire is on the way.” Does rtune mean the sleep- ing oar porter? : It is to be hoped that the new double Chinese firecracker may not get here in time for the coming Fourth. ‘The present racket on In- dependence Day is sufficiently fearful. ' It is 6f no use to issue millions of new city bonds until our surplus canine system is put upon a self-sustaining basis. If we can’t do this little thing, how can we do big things? If Prince Russell Harrison has served for ten years in the militia, we may expect something from him in actual war. There may be another Tippecanoe in Cuba if the contest ehall not close too e0on, Pastor Thomas of the Latter Day Saints surprised many readers of the Post-Dispatch by declaring that men are in one part of heaven and women in another part. Most men will certainly re- ject this idea, and it is not likely that many women will take to it. Alex Belleville and his seven wives, whose experiences were re- counted in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, have drawn the attention of the whole country, notwithstanding the wer excitement. The man who has provided well for so many women when good husbands are scarce is a true patriot, and the feminine part of the United | Gtates will doubtiess see that a towering monument is raised to his memory when he dies. — OO ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Water is usually the deadly enemy of fire, but recently in Dayton, O., a fire making damage to the amount of $10,000 was caused by water.

As soon as the water reached some pack- ages of carbide of calcium the formation of acetylene gas—a very inflammable prod- uct—resulted in several explosions and a fierce blaze. A DEFINITION.

For in-and-out work, territory covered, it is doubtful .f he has an equal in the League. Hits square down the base line are never safe until they are by him and he is equally skillful in cover- ing ground on the left side of him. It is often noticed in inflelders and third base- men especially that they are better adapted to balls on one side than on the other. A good man at slipping behind his own bag, nipping a grounder and recovering for the long throw is at sea when it comes to tak- ing the slow ones to the left, too fast and far away for the short to get. Collins ap- pears equally capable of playing on either s.de and ail balls look alike to him. His speed enables him to come up fast on the bunt and a quick underhand throw with no loss to recover gives him seconds of time at first. His play at the jast bag decides a majority of the close games Boston plays in a season, Ed Hanlon for the first time since the Orioles sailed smoothly along Easy street, is confronted by a problem that will tax the brain of even the foxy Ed. he pro- tracted absence of Keeler from the game has weakened the batting prowess of the ex-champions even more than Keeler’s sincerest admirers realize.

Theodore Breitenstein, the St. Louis boy who is doling euch great itching for the C neinnatis, has aroused the ire of certain of the New York ecribes by his many mo- tions In the box. The New York World man, talking about him, eays: “Perhaps it‘e only a habit, but Breitenstein certain- ly gives an impression that he ts possessed ofa very high est!mate of his own ability.

There is a disappointment in store for cycling enthusiasts in connection with next Saturday's meet at Athletic Park. This morning Manager Billy Laing an- nounced that the professional races for next Saturday's mect were declared off. The reason for do.ng 80 is a very good one. All of the good professionals, with the exception of three or four of the local ones, are in the East, and in the mile open but three professionals entered. A race between the Coburn family might draw a big crowd, but not while Eddie Bald and Charles McCarthy are the star attrac- tions. The amateur racing will be of the highest order and together with the big match race the events will be the best ever witnessed in this city. Charley McCarthy arrived in St. Louls this morning and will train at the new Grand avenue track all week for his match race with Eddie Baid, which takes place next Saturday afternoon at Athletic Park. McCarthy is rid.ng in great form andina letter to a friend, August Mertens, the five- mile anges ty expresses the opinion that Charley will be a sure winner when he runs up against the world’s champion. _. _ SEVENTH AND TWENTY-FOURTH. Political Nines From Those Wards Played Ball Yesterday. Those who think because they are slow in legisiative matters that the city fathers cannot get @ move on themselves should have seen the ball game on Russell Field, Morgan Ford road and Arsena! street, Sun- day morning. he crack nines of the Seventh and Twen- ty-fourth wards were the contesting teams, and tt was not until the last ball was pitched that the game was decided. Several weeks ago the chailenge was sent and yesterday's game was the result. Louis Hirth, or Lou, as he is better known, captained the Seventh Ward nine, while Sam Voyce looked after the Twenty- fourths. Joe Overbeck, Superintendent of the Poorhouse, and W. J. McPherson, State Senator, were chosen umpires, and did well at first. But McPherson went to sleep dur- ing the second inning and Overbeck was fired in the third because he did not know the initial bag from third base. In fact he called a man out for running to first. Hie thought he should have gone to third, which he took for first base. Harry Wittenberg of the Twenty-fourth Ward made a great hit by stopping a jump- ing grounder and making a triple play. He also d'stinguished himself by making several] other good stops. . Voyce blamed his defeat on the unfair tactics of the othér team which, he de- cilared, had his men out all night. However. his battery made an excellent showing and would have won with proper eupport. In the ninth inning. with two men out and two on base, Lou Hirth of the Seventh Ward made a home run and won the game by a score of 7 to 6 Hirth'’s stick work was a feature throughout the game.

The passing of Lieber Karl and the phe- nomena! luck of Johnny Huffman were the sole topics of conversation among owners, trainers and turf followers out at the Fair Grounds this morning.

Of course, I knew White was by King Ban and when I found out that Alma Lamar was a Billet mare and that her third dam was the dam of Force and Finality, I determined to have that colt, who, by the way, had been named What-er-Lou, the old darky’s way of speil- ing Waterloo. I came ta St. Louis to raise the money and upon my return to Newport found that old Grorge Hawk, acting for Huffman, had raised my ente and secured What-er-Lou for $750.”’ Broad Church, the well-known turf writer, is in attendance at the Harlem track. Broad Church predicts stormy times for racing in Chicago and writes that the only Salvation for the Washington Park meet- ing is the introduction of the Style of bet- ting now in vogue on the New York Jockey Ciub tracks, Broad Church states posi- tively that neither open nor. syndicate bookmaking will be tolerated by the Wash- ington Park Club managers, as their policy is not in any way to antagonize the ex- isting laws of Iliinois. ) Turning to a pleasanter theme Broad Church has the following to say of a trio of well-known and popular turf writers: Journalistic old-timers of the sporting va- riety have their inhings here just now. Tom Gallagher, Clint Riley and Dick Carey are in harness again, after retirement last- ing through severai years. Gallagher, a young-old sort of fellow, .s a noted billiard player, who has been making a good living with the cue. While juvenile and frisky in manner at times, the whitened hair and the inevitable spectacles suggest the period of the sere and yellow leaf. But then we will all come to that in time. Dick Carey (Hyder Ali’) was years ago forced into retirement by impaired eyesight, but partial recovery enables him to wield the pen again. Carey is a Silas Wegg among sport- ing journalists. Time was when he would drop into poetry at the faintest provoca- tion, and several years ago he published a big volume of his horsey effusions.

Mr. Schorr his word and that settles it. ae There is no doubt, too, but that Bannock- burn will sport silk on this occasion. In fact the more one studies the situation the more one is inclined to thing that if Plaudit is to be beaten the winner will have to come from the dark division, and Bannockburn, so far as this season's performances go, be- longs to that class. Since winning a race in the early spring at Little Rock Bannockburn has been a sort of a bugaboo, used to scare the owners of other horses. McGuigan has always been just going to do this and that with him, but somehow has never done it. The real truth of the matter seems to be that Bannockburn has had an attack of catarrhal fever, from the effects of which he has happily recovered. Isabey and Jackanapes may also start, as well as Good Friend, Eitholen and Li- bation. Pingree may also go to the post in thie event. He is now stabled at the Harlem track, and Secretary Nathanson declares that he is the best looking 3-year-old that he has seen this season, and that he can run a bit, too. Altogether, the St. Louls Derby may bring to the post the best fleld of derby candidates that has faced the flag this year. Douglas called at the Post-Dispatch office this morning. He has not a mark to show that he was in a mi.l yesterday. Douglas would say nothing about the action of the referee, but his friends claimed that it was no fight at all as far as Ireland was concerned, and that in the whole mill Ire- land only landed one blow, and that was on the back of Bob’s head. Douglas will make his next appearance at the Happy Home Protective Association picnic at Ramona Park, on the SuBurban road, on June 12. On this occasion Douglas will meet in friendly bouts Billy Regan, Ed Lally and Joe Frede, and wind up in a warm four-round gset-to with the old-time favorite, Paddy Coughlin. There will aiso be a newsboys’ swimming match, ladies’ foot race, fat men’s race, jig dancing con- test, with valuable prizes for each event. ene THE CYCLE RIDERS.

OF “THREE-FINGERED | MAJUENEUX HURRIED UFF TO CLAYTON. THEY ARE SAFE !N THE. JAIL. Sentiment Stronglv Against Them and Tangible Evidence of Their Guilt Held by the Authorities. There wae intense excitement tn Floris- sant Monday over the brutal assault on Mrs. Jennie Majueneux. There was some talk of forming a party to wreak ven- geance on the negroes accused of attack- ing the aged woman, but there was a strong belief that it would be impossible to accomplish anything by such a move, as the men are etrongly guarded in the Clay- ton Jali. John and William Ellis, who have been identified by Mrs. Majueneux, are charged with assauit with intent to rape. Mre. Majueneux is @7 years old and a cripple. Bhe is supported by the county and lives in a shanty near the end of the Suburban line tn Florissant. The attack on the defenseless old woman was fiendishly brutal. She was preparing to retire Sunday night when she heard a noise In the rear of her house. She opened the door. A man leaped from the dark- ness and clutched her by the threat. He threw her to the floor and called on his companion to help him. A second man rushed in. He carried two brickbats. With these murderous weapons he rained blow after blow on the old woman's head, beating her into un- consciousness. The men then left her lying in her blood. When she regained consciousness her screams attracted neighbors. who notified Judge John Belleville. to whom she said her assailants were John and William Ellis. Lewis Holliday and Stephen Belleville were sworn in as special deputies and sent in search of the negroes. They met them near their father’s home, but did not attempt to arrest them. When the deputies returned to Florissant the negroes followed them and were arrested by Judge Belleville and Leon LD. Lisle. An excited crowd gathered and the pris- oners were hurried to Clayton in charge of Stephen Belleville. : The evidence against the men seems con- vincing, though they claim they were at home at the time the assault occurred. Their shoes are held as evidence. One paid has no heels and one of the other has three large tacks in the heel. The shoes fit tracks found tn the yard. Every precaution will be taken to prevent a lynching. The men will be taken to Floris- sant, Tuesday, fora hearing. Sheriff Peter Kerth says he will provide a strong guard. John Ellis is 24 and William 22 years old. They were arrested for disturbing the peace of Casper Koetcher, a Florissant saloon- keeper, March 19 Mrs. Majueneux was in a critical condi- tion Monday. Her age may prevent her re- covery. HE WAS GRANT'S FRIEND Death of Col. James Lindsay, a Vet- eran of che Civil War. Col.

There was turmoil all day long Sunday on South Second street, and as night came on the bad blood became more and more heated. The climax was reached at mid- night, when Wells fired a bullet into the heart of ‘“‘Three-Fingered Jack.’’. The body is now at-the Morgue and the Coroner wili hold an inquest Tuesday morning. ~ Wells gives his version of the killing in a straightforward manner. ss é “The trouble began in the morning,” -said the: prisoner to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “TI filled a breakfast order for Jack, and sent it to a room oyer Bryant's saloon at Second and Poplar streets, where Jack was stopping.

It may be that the present predicament of Mrs. Agnes Bacon Pitkin will result to her disadvantage in the suit she has pend- ing against the city of St. Louts for $2000 at Clayton. Mrs. Pitkin is confined In jail tn this cily on a charge of arson, it being claimed that she conspired with Thomas Hopewell, who is also in jail, to burn her house at Wells and Belt avenues. The suit she has in the County Circuit Court {s based on alleged damages to the same —property on which the house was built which she is accused of having tried to burn recently. Mrs. Pitkin has owned the place several years. The property is sit- uated in a natural hollow and on occasions of heavy rains the premises become sub- merged, the resultant damage being con- siderable. She is trying to hold the city re- sponsible and last year filed a suit before Judge Klein for the amount named. It was heard Oct. 30. the jury failing to agree. Judge Daniel Dillon then filed an amended petition and took a change of venue to Clayton. On behalf of the city, Monday, Associate City Counselor Charles Clafiin Allen ap- peared before Dados Hirzel at Clayton and moved to strike out certain portions of the petition. The petition alleged that the city was responsible for raising the grade on Wells avenue, this being one of the paaty causes for the overflow on Mrs. Pitkin’s property.

SCANDAL MAY BE FAR-REACHING Uncovering of Express Company Cor- ruption Agitates All Nebraska. OMAHA, Neb., June 6.—Ex-Auditor W. F. Bechel of the Pacific Express Co. has had his preliminary hearing for embezzle- ment, being bound over, but the develop- ments of the trial have been much more important to the State and corporations of Nebraska than anything that has occurred for years in the rest. > During the hearing it developed through testimony of ex-officers of the company that something like $200,000 had been expended Yn the past 10 years for the purpose of con- trolling the Nebraska Legislature. The lowest estimate of the amount so expended was by Chief Clerk Mason, who swore that $1,000 was spent on each session to prevent hostile legislation. It was also said that the Pacific was merely the clearing house for the other express companies, and that each paid its pro rata share of this corruption fund. The story of how the facts became the property of the public prosecutor came out, When the Union Pacific passed into the hands of the forces controlling the North- western property it gave that company a controlling share of the express companys stock. Erastus Young, auditor of the Union Pacific. had heard of the vast sums spent for legislative purposes and influenced Presi- dent urt of the Union Pac.fic to insist on an investigation. When the matter came to the ears of President E. 8S. Morseman of St. Louis he obfected. He had been the company’s President for twenty-five years and had made it what it is to-day. He said there had been no embezzlement, that what money had been spent by the auditor was necessary, that the corruption fund was @ necesary evil, and that if it was stirred up it would react on the company. When Young started the investigation Morseman at once resigned, but not under suspicion. Auditor Bechel and his assistant, T. K. Suadburrough, who had been with the company 17 years, were discharged and to- gether with Chief Clerk Andrew Hunt were arrested for embegzlement. Now the reform forces of the State are preparing for an anti-corporation fight that is sure to cost corporations thousands of dollars. They have the material furnished by this sensational trial, the data and all the details of the corrupting lobby main- tained by the express companies at Lin- coln. The result is just what President Morseman said it would be, and if the cor- porations do not spend more money this year than ever the hostile islation ema- nating from Lincoln will alm@pt ruin them.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Spencer Holds That Special Or- dinances May Be Passed for Sufficient Consideration, Judge Spencer decided Monday morning that while it was true that the city has a general ordinance prohibiting street cars from running at a rate greater than 8&8 miles an hour in the city, the Municipal Assembly could by express contract or or- dinance permit any particular road to run its cars at a rate exceeding that. The point was raised in the damage suit of Alexander Ruschenberg against the Southern EPlectric Railway Company. On May 22, 1897, the plaintiff's little five-year- old son, Frank, tried to cross Broadway, between Itaska and Neosho streets, and was killed by e@ Southern Blectric car, which was going at a high rate of speed. The defense was contributory negligence. The plaintif® tried to show that the care were running at a rate of more than eigat miles an hour when the assident happened. The campany said they had a right to run at a rate of not more than 15 miles an hour.where the accident occurred, and in- troduced in evidence their ordinance én which it was specifically stated that on certain parts of the line the of not aes les an hour could be main- The Court tn his insfructions eaid that the jury might take into consideratian the fact that the road had a right to run at 15 miles an hour at that point. . The jury found for the defendant in the case and the pa filled a motion for a new trial on the ground that the Court had erred in giving the instruction. Judge Spencer, Monday, overruled the mo- tion for a new trial and handed down a de- — in which he says on that particular nt: “The ordinance of 1892 prohibiting a speed of over eight miles an hour is what may be called a governmental ordinance; that fs, it isa l ative act indicating a policy. “It is sustained as a valid exercise of police power. “In addition to such legislative acts, or governmental ordinances, the Munic Assembly has also the right to pass con- tractual ordinances, whereby the city and street railways may contract together.’ “On what principle could it be said that the city might not contract with a street railway and exempt it, for gufficlent con- sideration, from compliance with certain governmental ordinances? “If the Municipal Assembly belleves.it is for the advantage of the city to exent a particular street railway from any of the general ordinances passed to indicate the general policy of the city government, why should not any such contract, if fair, be enforced ?’’ RAYMOND M’NALLY WON.
