A BRAKEMAN HAS A TERRORIZING EXPERIENCE. CAR ON EACH sIDE OF HIM UN- ROOFED AND HIS HAIR TURNED GREY. NO DEATHS HAVE SO FAR BEEN REPORTED. Corn Crop Destroyed in a _ Section Three Miles Wide and Twelve Miles Long and Haystacks Blown Away. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WEBSTER CITY, Io.. Sept. 5.—A storm that did over $300,000 damage in a section three miles wide and 12 miles in length oc- curred here yesterday evening. In this city plate glass windows were broken, trees demolished and several houses overturned. A brakeman on an Illinois Central freight train, between here and Buncombe, which was running about 20 miles an hour, was scared when the wind first struck the train and lay down on top of a car. He did not belleve he could reach the engine without being blown off. He saw the roof of the merchandise car first in front of him blown off and carried in the air, until it passed through a group of telegraph wires, break- ing them as if they were thread. The car behind him was also unroofed, but for- tunately his car was not damaged. When he reached Buncombe, nine miles from here, his hair had turned gmy. J. E. McCaffrey and:J. W. Allington, business men, were returning from a hunt- ing trip when caught by ‘the storm, and they say that hail ¢ inches tn circumference fell and that they passed thrgugh 4rifts that were two feet thick. The corn crop is ruined, hay stacks have been blown. away on every farm in the track of the storm and outhouses and small residences overturned. So far no deaths have been reported, but many who could not find shelter in the country before the storm came on were/ pounded by hail until they were black and blue. Others received painful injuries from flying timbers. WEATHER TAPERING OFF Frankenfield Promises Some Re- lief, but Is Not Too Sure. Dr. There ie a change in the weather to-day for the better which Dr. Frankenfield says will remain at least until Tuesday evening. The wind is freer and has lost a part of the heat which has characterized it for the past few weeks, making it a diminu- tive simoon through the downtown streets. Showers are predicted for this afternoon or probably not until evening which are expected to bring some relief from the past condition of the weather. The effect of these showers, Dr. Frankenfield says. will be felt through Tuesday in the form of —— and more pleasant atmospheric con- itions. Dr. i*rankenfield made this statement with a frown on his face and said he wanted it diStinctly understood that he was not prognosticating a cool wave by any Will be ae | means. He said he would like to, but that further than Wednesday morning he could see nothing, either cool or warm. He says that this is the season when the weather tapers off into cooler weather and that It Was not quite time for the turning point, This small-sized cool spell may develop into a goodly proportioned snap in the way of “tapering off,’’ but this was’ not a cer- tainty. Dr. Frankenfield said that tons of St. Louls flesh was being perspired away and he predicted cooler weather Saturday in the name of humanity. At o'clock Saturday the thermometer registered 95 degrees. Sunday it was at 9 degrees at the same hour and Monday the mercury had fa.len five more degrees, This is a tapering, but the Doctor will not give it as the finale. It ts joyful to know ghat the weather has tapered 10 degrees Snea ‘Saturday and that between the hours of 7 a. m. and ll a. m. Monday morning there was an increase of but five degrees, Satur- day there was an increase of 18 degrees be- tween these hour?. Dr. Frankenfield says there should have been cool weather here Sunday on account of rains that completely surrounded the city.

LITTLE EDGAR BLOCK WILL NOT LEAVE IT. BOY WHO HANGED HIMSELF LAST YEAR SEEN AND rLEARD. THE BATES FAMILY ARE USED TO HIM. They State That the Boy’s Spirit Has Been Seen Once and Is Fraquent- ly Heard Laug),ing and Play- ing Ahbcut the House. The spirit of Edgar Block is said to fre- quent the house where he died. Indulging in all the humors and moods of a bey of 11, the spirit goes playing about the house, now laughing, now calling in a happy voice or speaking in gentle tones to the little sister, Helen, now flying into a passion and crying with rage, kicking the door and breaking the dishes, to be avenged upon his mother. Mr. Charles L. Bates and his wife, two daughters, Misses Helen and Dorothy, and little son, Albert, live in the house where Edgar Block died. Mr. Batés is an em- ploye of the Mermod-Jaccard Jewelry Co. A year ago Edgar Block, the ll-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Theodore Block, Living at 4124 Page avenue, hung himself in the front room #n the second floor of the house. The child quarreled with his older broth- er and wae punished by his mother. He went upstairs, and soon afterward he was found suspended from the bed with a Strap about his neck. He had strangled. It was thought at the time that the youth had not intended taking his life, and that he had undertaken to frighten his mother when she should see him dangling. The noose which he fixed was more deadly than he-thought: + - Mr. Block and his family moved from the house in April last and went several blocks up the avenue to _ reside. Mr. Bates and family lived in the house ad- joining that vacated by the’ Blocks. The vacant house was a nicer one tnan that occupied by the Bates family, and Mr. and Mrs. Bates decided to move into it This they did a few days after it was va- cated. ‘i Miss Helen Bates, the eldest daughter of the household, told a _ reporter Monday morning this etrange story of what has happened in the house since they moved in: “We had not ben there many hours when we became convinced that the spirit of little Edgar Block was in the house, We would hear strange sounds every nignt and day, and knowing him as we did, we recognized in the sounds the voice of the dead boy and things which we knew him to have been in the habit of doing. ‘IT eould not tell you all the strange things that have happened, but things went along without anything more then the noises until two weeks ago, when my mother sat here in the room. It was broad daylight. She heard a low voice, and looking up, saw there, standing in the door straight p. fore here, the form of Edgar Block. The boy stood there just as in hfe. ‘*‘My mother knew him wer and recog: nized him. He did not speak, and betore surprise and he came. “That is the only time we have seen him, but he has been around ever eo many times, One night we sat at the dinner table. The whole family was there, and there was not a thing to shake the table and cause what happened. Suddenly one of the dishes was lifted up and hurled to the floor, where it broke into fragments. Since then this has occurred frequently. In the corner of the library There is a little drum. It belongs to my brother Al- bert, a boy 13 years old. This drum beats | almost every night and day. We have hung it up, laid it down, put it in the bookcaee and did everything with it, but we cannot stop its beating. It is sure to beat every time we have company, and has done it so much nuw we no longer mind it. The beat- ing is not the noise the drum sticks would | make. It is more like the thrumming of a) ‘Last Saturday night my sister and I came home from rehearsal and went to | our room. There is a folding bed in the room, and when we entered it stood up- right. As we stood talking the bed sud- denly lurched, as though someone behind was pushing it, and had we not caught it it would have fallen to the floor. We often hear Edgar's voice. We can hear him laugh and cry, and sometimes, when nae whose name is Helen, whether it is not me some one is calling. “Our attention was first attracted to Ed- the house by a kicking We would hear the noise and rush quickly and open the door, thinking it was some one playing.

They were due at Pa- ducah about noon, and at the barracks by 6 ar 7 o'clock. No stop will be made at Union Station, as it was thought best to hurry the sol- diers to Jefferson Barracks so they might rest after their long ohagier s The general reception committee met at the Mayor’s office Monday morni‘ng in re- sponse to a call issued by Chairman John lI, Martin and decided to meet the regiment before its arrival at St. Louis. The committee decided to leave Union Station about 4 o'clock in a special car fur- nished by the Illinois Central. They will go to Belleville and there await the arrival of the soldiers. From the general committee special com- mittees will be selected to receive the dif- ferent sections, “I shall select these comeittees after starting to Belleville,’’ said Col. Martin after the meeting. ‘In doing so I will en- deavor to place the committeemen so that members. will be assigned to sections on which they have friends or relatives. I will remain ‘on the battlefield,’ as it were, until] the last section has arrived and the last soldier has been grasped by the hand and been made to feel that St. Louisans are giad to see him.’’ Nine new members were added to Col. Martin’s committee Monday morning. All have sons in the regiment. They are Gen. D. CG. Coleman, E. T. Cooke, Alex. Siegel, James Coff, Col. EE. T. Allen, Carl Ungar, Dr. A. L. Boyce, E. W. Harris and C. C. Child. Charles Schweickhardt has been in- structed to have .coffee and sandwiches served to the men on their arrival at Jef- ferson Barracks. The members of the general committee, of which Mayor Ziegenhein {s chairman, have been made members of the gené¢ral reception committee, as have also the la- dies of the Womans’ Rellef Association. Members of the men’s committee are ex- pected to report at Jefferson Barracks at 10 a, m,, Tuesday, when Secretary Pollard will distribute badges. The ladies will re- badges from Mrs. Ziegenhein at the same time and place. R. J. Comptor has been appointed secretary of the reception committee of which Col. Martin is chair- man. Provisions for the sick soldiers are giving some trouble. It Was announced that none of the sections would stop at Union Sta- tion. Dr. S.arkioff had arranged to have ambulances there and a strong effort wil! be made to have the section containing the Dr. Starkloff said: “Col. Batdorf in @& message to me Satur- day asked me to have ambulances ;eady to receive the sick. He said he would wire just what he wanted later, but I haven‘: heard from him since. Consequently I d» not know what to do. ; “It would certainly be neither practical] nor humane to transfer tbe men by auin- bulance from the barracks over 15 miles of varying roads,” ‘v. H. Walser and Rev. F. P. Jens called - City Hall and en behalf of the Dea- Home Hospital offered the use of 61x beda in that institution if needed for sick volunteers. Telegrams received Monday say that the Fifth [llino.s and the F.rst New Hampshire left Lexington at 11 o'clock Monday, the former for Springfield, and the latter for Concord, The Fifth had one hospital car, ihe First had two. The Illinois sick taken from the hospital at« 5 o'clock Monday morning were kept waiting on a railroad elding for @ x hours. Nobody knows why. The Fifth Missouri willl leave Lexington, Ky., Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, taking its sick. It will go to Kansas City instead of Jefferson Barracks as intended. By order of Mayor Ziegenhein all of the fire alarm bells in St. Lou é were rung ag a signal that six hours later the First Regi- ment would arrive. Gen, E. V. Saimner, Commander of Department of Missouri, arrived in Louis from Omaha Monday morning took charge of the arrangements for the encampment of the regiment on its re- turn. He was emphatic in his assurance that he would do ali in his power to insure the health and comfert of the boys of Mie- sourl and make the camp one Which will reflect credit both on the State and the de- partment over which he presides. During the morning he was waited on by a reception committee consisting of Mayor Ziegenhein, Judge W. C. Marshall, H. Cc, Townsend and Mesdames Gandolfo and G. Cramer. As a military figure Gen.

It is located about half a mile southwest of the late Camp Bell, where the Sixth Regiment was stationed. The ground is regarded as the best in the reservation. There is a natural drain- age and it is neara big spring. Ten miles of pipe was delivered at the Barracks Mon- day morning.

The power of the Dervish leader seems to be jcompletely broken, Gordon and Hicks Pasha have been avenged and England places the Khedive of Egypt once more in full possession of the valley of the Nile.

The details of the battle are still lacking in fullness. The following has been received at the war office with Gen. Kitchener: “The remnant of the Khalifa’s forces has surrendered, end I have now a very large number of prisoners on my hands. “Our cavalry and gunboats are still pur- suing the Khalifa and his chiefs, who wth only about 140 fighting men, ere apparently making for Kordofan.’’ “The left. bank of the White Nile {is so difficult to approach, owing to the overflow and the thick bushes, that the gunboa'ts cannot effect a landing.

KITCHENER’S CAMPAIGN. e Leader of the British Forces and the Obstacles He Overcame Omdurman was the strongly fortified city and camp of the Khalifa, on the White Nile, opposite the city of Khartoum. The advance on the city was begun early this year, and the town of Berber was occu- pied in March. This was followed, April 8, by the complete rout of the Dervishes at Atbara. After that Gen. Kitchener reor- ganized his army and began the march On Khartoum, with 25,000 men, 15,000 of them Egyptians, commanded by English officers. The British advance was aided by a flotilla of’ ten steamers, all armed with the latest quick-firing guns and Maxims, and three other unarmored steamers. These passed the Fifth Cataract in the middle of July, and until reeently cruised as far as Shab- luka, at the foot of the Sixth Cataract. There is another rapid at Tamaniat, about thirty miles north of Khartoum, but it presents no difficulty, even at mid-Nile. At Halfiyeh there is a good deal of thick scrub and a big wooded island and two channels. The northern point of it is nine and seven and a old Omdurman fort, old works lies below half miles from the and about the same from the on the island of Tuti, which Khartoum and opposite the Omdurman fort. But the latest information shows that these forts were abandoned and a new one constructed some distance from the river, evidently because the co-operation of gunboats was anticipated in any future expedition.

For a short period the enemy cap- tured and held the gun, but it was bril- liantly retaken. The heroic bravery of the Dervishes evoked universal admiration. Time after time their dispersed and broken forces re-formed and hurled them- selves upon the Anglo-Egyptians, their Emirs conspicuously leading and spurning death.

It was not long before the Dervishes were geen in full flight toward fire right, leaving their dead on the field as they fled. Practically the whole army of the Khalifa was destroyed.

Of Omdurman Slatin Pasha writes in his Egyptian | The book “‘Ftre and Sword tn the Soudan:” ‘‘The town of Omdurman is part on fairly level ground, there are a few small hills. sists mostly of hard red clay, and is very Strong. with occasional patches of sand. For his own convenience the Khalifa driven large-straight roads through ous parts of the town, and to make for these numbers of houses were leveled, but no compensation was given to their owners. Just north of the arsenal Les a building in which ts stored the flags of all the Emirs residing in Omdurman, and be- side it is a semi-circular building, about 20 feet high, provided with etairs where the Khalifa’s war drums are kept. A little fur- ther to the east is the cartridge and small arms manufactory. On the north side of the city, and close to the river, is the Belt el Mal (treasury), which is an enormous walled-in inciosure, subdivided into a va- riety of courts, in which are stored goods coming from all parts of the Soudan and from Egypt, as well as grain stores and slave courts. A little to the south of the Beit el Mal lies the public slave market, and in close proximiity the Beit el Mal of the Mulazemin (body guard) has been erected. “‘From north to south the new city covers a iength of about six English miles. The southern extrem'‘ty lies almost exactly op- posite the southwest end of Khartoum; * * * and it is in no place over three miles in width. At first it consisted of thousands and thousands of straw huts; and the mosque was originally an oblong inclosure surrounded by a mud wall 469 yards long and 350 yards wide; but this place has been replaced by one made of burnt brick, and then whitewashed over. After this the Khalifa began building brick houses for himself and his brother, then for his relatives, while the Emirs and most of the wealthy peopie followed his example. buf here vari- MONUMENT TOC THE, MAHDI. In order to shaw his veneration for the Mahdi, the Khalifa decided to erect a mon- ument to him * * A square building was eracted, some 30 feet high and 36 feet each way; and the stone for this construc- tion, of which the walls were upward of six feet thick, had to be brought all the way from Khartoum. Above this a hexagonal! wall 15 feet high was bullt, from wh'ch rose a dome 4 feet high. On the corners of the main building were four emaller domes. This was called Kubbet el Mahdi (Mahdi's dome). It was finished with 10 large. arched Windows and two doors; and the hexagonal portion were six skylights. It was white- washed all over and surrounded by a trel- lis-work fence. “Directly beneath the dome and over the Mahd’'s grave a wooden sarcophagus wes erected, covered with black cloth. * * ®* Before I left Omdurman much.of the white- wash had’ been knocked off by the weather, which spoiled its general appearance. Above the apex of the dome are three hollow brass balls, one above the other, connected with a lance, the head of which forms the top ornament of the structure. I have often heard people say that the Khalifa erected this spear to show that he ts perfectly pre- pared to declare war against the heavens if his wishes are not carried out. South-of the tomb, and adjoining the great mosque, lies the enormous _nclosure of the Khalifa. To the east of the Khalifa’s inclosure lies the house of his son. The Beit el Amana, or arsenal, consists of a large building in- closed by stone walls, and here are stored the guns, ammunition and other warlike material. At intervals of every few paces seniries are posted in small sentry boxes; and they are charged to allow no unauthor- ized .persons to enter the bu_lding.”’ THE NEW KHALIFA. In the same book the Khalifa. the sue- cessor of the Mahdi, Is thus described in 1885, when Slatin, who was Governor of Dorfor, was taken prisoner. “The Khalifa has not moved out of Om- durman for upward of ten years. he has centralized all power, stored up all ammunition and gathered under his per- sona! surveillance all those whom he sua- pects, obliging them to say the five pray- ers daily in his presence and listen to his sermons. He has declared Omdurman to be the sacred city of the Mahdi. * ¢ ® During his lHfetime the Mahdi had de- clared that Omdurman was merely a tem- porary camp, as the Prophet had revealed to him that. he could depart the life in Syria, after conquering Egypt and Arabia; but his early death had shattered all his plans and the hopes of his followers. “He (the Khalifa) soon came in, and we at once rose; seizing my hand, he pressed me to, his heart, saying, ‘God hg praised, we ape at last united! How doyou fee! after your tiring journey?” ‘Yes, indeed,’ I replied, ‘God be praised for having ranted me to Iive to see this day! When beheld your countenance my fatigue at once left me" I well knew that to win his favor I must flatter him as. much as posetivre: He now gave his hand to Said Jey and Dimitri to kiss, and asked how they were. I scrutinized him very care- fully: he had a light brown complexion, a sympathetic Arab face, on which the marks of samali-pox were still traceable an aquliine nose, a well-shaped mouth, slight mustache and a fringe of hair on his cheeks, but rather thicker on his chin; he Was about middle height, neither thin nor Stout was wearing a jibba (the Mahdiet's dress) covered with emall square patches of different colors. and a Mecca takia, or skull cap. round which was bound a cotton turban: he generally spoke with a smiie, and showed a row of glistening white ~ GORDON AVENGED built for,the most | an The soll con- | has | | * * YS y Se ee ae So dele — = B.

Nominally England entered the field for the purpose cf suppressing the slave traffic ee ‘TWO BIG [LABOR DAY PARADES. and really as a civilizin »wer in the broadest eense. In 1869 Sir Samuel Baker was appointed sole commander of a mili- tary expedition to suppress the slave trade on the Nile, and was given absolute author- ity over the country south of Gondokoro. He returned to London in 1878, and was suc- ceeded by General, then Colonel, Gordon. The latter was successful in administering law to the country. In 1877 he negotiated the peace with Abysainia. The Soudan, with its capital at Khar- toum, was well governed by Col. Gordon, and was quiet, until in 1881 an insurrec- tion was started by Sheik Mahommed Ahmed, w declared himself to be a prophet—Maha®, foretold by Moslem seers. Gordon had gone back to England in 1879. The Mahdi was defeated, and retired up the Nile. But later he defeated the army of Egyptians and English, who were com- manded by Col. Hicks, whose Egyptian title was Hicks Pasha.,and slaughtered 6,000 of them. The march of the Mahdi was tri- umphant. Col, Hicks then started after the Mahdi with 1,000 men, but he was decoyed into defile and attacked by overwhelming numbers of the Dervishes. The soldiers formed squares and resisted until almost all were killed, Including Col. Hicks. This success of the Mahdi caused a general up- rising throughout the country. Osman Digna, a ruined slave dealer, was selected by the Mahdi as his military commander. The dispatches say that Osman is now in retreat with the Khalifa, RODE WITH THE LANCERS Newspaper Correspondent Howard Was Killed in a Charge.

The Lancers charged through them, re-formed and charged back to recover their wounded who were being savagely slaughtered.

John Hills, His Wife and Her Sister, Miss Conlin, of New York, Drank Poisoned Whisky Received from Some Person Unknown. MISS CONLIN WILL DIE, BUT THE OTHERS ARE PRONOUNCED OUT OF DANGER. IT CAME BY MAIL; - THERE IS NO CLEW. Strong Evidence Just Discovered Against Mrs. Botkin as the Mur- deress of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane. © - 0-0-0 -O—-0—O0 0-0-0 000-0 MURDER BY MAIL. The third case of murder by mail has just been recorded. John Hills and his wife and her sister of New York drank pois- oned whisky sent to them through the mails by some per- son unknown. Hills and his wife will live, but his wife’s sis- ter, Miss Conlin, will die. The first case in this country of sending poison through the mails for the purpose of murder was the killing of Mrs. Joseph- ine A. Barnaby of Providence, R. I., by Dr. Graus. That was 10 years ago. Poisoned whisky was sent to Mrs. Barnaby from Boston to Denver. Graus was convicted, but killed himself in jail at Denver. The second instance was the sending of poisoned chocolate candy from San Francisco to Dover, Del., causing the deaths of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane, The candy was mailed Aug. 4. Mrs. Cordelia Botkin was arrest- ed for the crime Aug. 23, and is now in jail at San Francisco. oO-0—0—-0—--0—- 0-0-0 0-0-0 0-0-0 NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—John Hills, a well- to-do ice dealer of 84 Second street, his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Mary Conlin, have been poisoned by whisky which had been sent through the mail to the house. Miss Conlin probably will die from the effects of the drug which was used. The case in many respects is similar to the poisoning of Mrs, Dunning and Mrs. Deane by means of a box of candy gent to them through the, mail two weeks ago, and, may have been suggested by that crime, It Is also closely akin to the mur- der of Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby by Dr. Groves by means of potsoned whisky at Denver, Col, a few years ago. Mrs. Hills received by mail last Tues- day a small package which contained a bottle about four inches high bearing a whisky label. She received a second and similar package on Wednesday, and in that found another small bottle labeled fferent brand. of whisky. She received ird package on Friday. It was larger —— the others and had a bottle which had evidently contained toilet water. Mr. Hills, his wife and sister-in-law were at home last night when Mrs, Hills thought of the Hquors and told her husband of them. There was just enough liquor in the bottle to give to each one an average sized drink. It was pronounced. good whis- ky when the three had each tasted it. The three persons became affiicted with a strange illness within half an hour of drinking the whisky ‘and their symptoms becoming alarming Mr, Hills, whose pow- erful frame withstood the attack better than the women, ran to Dr. Leyendecker, who expressed the opinion that they were éuffering from a powerful poison, either atropine: or belladonna, Dr. Leyendecker summoned assistance and also notified the police, and after a while Mr. Hills and his wife were pronounced out of danger, Miss Conlin, the doctor said, would prob- ably die. Mr. Hilla says he has no ene- mies and the police have no clew to the sender of the whisky. @ue eee : = TRAGING OF TELL-TALE EVIDENCE John P. Dunning is confident that Mrs. Botkin wrote the anonymous letters that were received by Mrs. Dunning several weeks before her death. He has made affidavit to that effect. police. by tracings from the original. ——— _ ~_— ——— ee ee ere SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.—The most im. | portant development in the poison tragedy | is the fact that Clerk Frank 8S. Grey of the Owl drug store, in this city, says that he sold two ounces of arsenic toa are This giving the name of Mrs, C. Bothin., was on June 1. ‘ . She gave her address as California and Hyde streets. Taken in connection with the arrest of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin on the charge of send- ing a box of poisoned candy to Dover, Del., which caused the death of Mrs. J, P. Dun- ning and her sister, Mrs. Deane, this siml- larity of names and the remarkable coinci- dence that on June 1 the accused woman lived at the Victoria Hotel, on the north- west corner of Hyde and California streets, leads to the natural conclusion that the woman now in prison is the one who bought the poison, The clerk may have misunderstood the name. The woman said she wanted the poison for the purpose of bleaching hats. Clerk Grey will be a witness against Mrs. Botkin. If he says she is the woman who bought the poison, the statement will go far towards convicting her. Great indignation ts expressed by Chief Lees at Dunning’s failure to send him speci- mens of Mrs. Botkin’s handwriting for com- parison with the writing in the anonymous letters received by Mrs. Dunning and that on the wrapper on the box. “I do not know what Dunning means,” said Lees last night. ‘‘He claims to have received several hundred letters from Mrs, Botkin and to have identified as hers the handwriting in two of the anonymous let- ters received by his wife. “Of all the large number of letters Dun- ning claims to have received from Mrs. Botkin, we have only been able to secure a few fragmentary specimens. If I ‘were in Dunning’s place, I think I would have put all I had in the hands of the police jong ago. I would have come to this coast and assisted alk I could. Of course, he claims many of these letters are at Porto Rico, but I think he has had time to get them back again.” Such specimens of Mrs. Botkin’s hand- writing as have come@nto the hands of the police were photographed yesterday. No expert opinion has yet been received by the police regarding the similarity in the specimens of writing. This will not be done until the photographic reproductions are ready. One. of these letters is in the hands of the San Francisco Above are copies of portions of the first and last pages of this letter made The similarity of the handwriting of this letter and that of the address on the candy box is evident. ters, especially the “J” and “D,” is noticeably the same in both examples. The formation of the let- Detective McVey says that Mr. Dunning Is convinced that Mrs. Botkin poisoned his wife and her sister. ‘Two of the letters received by Mrs. Dun- ning were surrendered to us after her death, These letters were shown to Dunning by Attorney-General White after the former’s arrival in Dover from Porto Rico. As he glanced at it Dunning said: ‘What! Where ' did you get this?’ “The Attorney-General. explained that it was written to Mrs. Dunning by an un- known woman in San Francisco. ‘Then Mr. White handed him the other letter, where- upon he said: ‘Well, she (meaning Mrs, Botkin) has deceived me. She led me to believe that Mrs. Seeley was the party who sent those anonymous letters.’ “Then the explained that his wife sent him a copy of one of the letters in ques- tion, while he was in Salt Lake City, and asked him to explain it. He-sent the copy to Mrs. Botkin in this city, asking her if she could suggest its author. Mrs, Be ain, according to his statement, replied that the letter had undoubtedly been written by Mrs. Seeley. Now this letter that he sent to Mrs. Botkin was but a copy of the orig- inal. The letter itself never left Mrs. Dun- ning’s possession . “After reading the letters the Attorney- General showed him, Dunning identified the handwriting in both as that of Mrs. Bot- in. He said that he Knew whereof he spoke, as he had recejved in al] 300 or 400 letters from Mrs; Botkin. He also identi- fied the handwriting on the note within the candy box as that of Mrs. Botkin. The note, as you remember, read: ‘With love to yourself and baby. Mrs. C.”’ Within the gloom of the city prison Mrs. Botkin smiles and declares her innocence of murder, Without detectives and police mes- sengere are scurrying and running to earth every suggestion of a clew that may bind upon the prisoner the awful crime. She Said to-day: “T wish to be cleared of this terrible charge—to have every taint of suspicion re- moved from my name. I wish for a mo- mentary hearing before the tribunal of justice; for an opportunity to state all that I have to say. The trial cannot come off too soon to suit me. How I wish it could be held to-morrow, or even to-night! I have nothing whatever to fear, and I am impa- tient with delay. “Tt is singular that I should have been selected as the person capable of commit- ting that horrible crime. My actions have certainly not been those of one amenable to the law. “There has been nothing between Mr. Dunning and myself that I should not be willing the whole world should know; he has written me nothing I should not be willing the whole world should see. There is not a serap of any of his letters that I should object to having photographed and reproduced in public print. NO EPITAPH FOR GLADSTONE. His Will Orders That There Be No Laudatory Inscription on His Tomb, | LONDON, Sept. 5.—The will of the late Rt. Hon. Willlam E. Gladstone has been probated. Jt shows that his personal estate ja valued at 59,506 pounds. Mr. Gladetone’s will was written by him- relf in an ordinary memorandum book. It is a document of about 2000 words and Is a remarkable specimen of penmanship. The recond clause of the will has reference to the funeral arrangements, and says: “Commending myself to the infinite mer- cies of God, in the incarnate Son, as my only and sufficient hope,.Il leave the par- ticulars of my burial to my executors, specifying only that. they be very eimple and private, unless there be conclusive rea- eons to the contrary. And 1 desire to be buried where my wife may also lie. On no account shall a laudatory inscription bd placed over me.” After appointing his sons as executors the will charges the future possessor of Hawar- den to remember that, as the head of the family, it will be his duty to extend good offices to other members thereof se yey to his ability and their manifest needs an: merits. The rest of the document leaves souvenire to servants and bequeatha to his grandson, William, as heirlooms all patents of crown offices held by the testator and books and printe presented to him by the Queen, letters from the Queen, etc. The will bears date Nov. 26, 18%. SOLDIERS WERE TRICKED. Gen. Pando Says Ths Has Been a Poll- ticlans’ War. NEW YORK, Sept. 5—Gen. Luts N.

Pando replied: “When I get back to my country I will get what is of more value to me than the amount of money you mentioned, the respect of my fellow-countrymen, Ine re- Sponse to the question.of his destination, Gen.

PRIZE MONEY FOR SAILORS, Cortes. He) Gen Pando said that: At Least a Million Dollars Wili Go to the Boys in Blue. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—At least $1,000,000 Prize money will be distributed among American eallors as a result of the war with Spain. More than one-half of this sum will be pald in accordance with that section of law providing for the payment of a bounty for persons on board vessels of war eunk in action. The rest will be turned into the Treasury for distribution by the courts which shall pass upon vessels of the enemy | captured by American men-of-war Although not a penny of prize money haa | yet been turned into the Treasury, Judge Advocate Lemly and his chief clerk, Mr. Hanna, are engaged tn considering the va- rious claims for prize money which have been filed by officers and men and in pass- ing upon the various questions which have arisen in connection with such claims. From the official report of Admiral Monte- | war were ‘er points along amount re {°. commanding the Spanish fleet sunk at anila, there were 1875 persons on board the ships under his command. The Spanish fleet was of inferior force to the American squadron and Rear Admiral Dewey’s men will therefore get only $100 for each person. It is estimated that the aggregate amount due the Asiatic fleet, as a result of the de- struction of the Spanish force, amounts to $187,500, which Congress will be asked to ap- propriate during the coming session. One- twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear Ad- miral Dewey as commander-in-chief, and he will therefore be $9375 richer than he was before the war. Rear Admiral Sampson has realized a snug little fortune as a result of the war. As Commander-in-Chief of the North At- | lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of ev- ‘ery prize taken in North Atlantic waters and one-twentieth of the head money al- lowed for the vessels destroyed off Santiago and Cuban ports. It is estimated that he will finally receive about $40,000 es his share 'of prize money. In determining the amount of head money due officers and men it will be necessary for the department to decide whether a vessel destroyed was inferior or superior to her antagonist. If the latter the American ships will be entitled to $200 per head of persons on board the enemy's ship. Of course this will swell the amount of the money due the Rear Admiral. It is ex- pected that including the Mercecen, sunk by the Massachusetts at the mouth of the har- bor at Santiago, were 2492 persons on board the Spanish fleet destroyed by Rear Admir- al Sampson's command, which was supe- rior to the enemy, and the amount of head money due the fleet will consequently ag- gregate $249,200.

The result of these questions will be to delay the ad- judication of the amounts due to officers and men interested. The Navy Department was notified a few days ago by Judge Locke. of Florida that he would turn into the Treasury the net ; sulting from the sale of the cargo of coal on board of the British tramp steamer Restormel. The notification was subsequently withdrawn by Judge Locke. The Reformel’'s case ts the furthest ad- vanced of any of the prizes. A great major!- ty of the vessels’ owners have taken ap- ‘ais from the courts that have condemned heir vessels, and {t wil} be many months before the Supreme Court is able to pass upon them. x ea ee av al F Mee ‘to Vou. | IS IT SUGGESTION? MORE H(IPE FOR DREVFUS — Revision of His Case Appears Almost Certain. WIFE OF THE CAPTAIN HAS MADE HER APPEAL. CABINET WILL MEET IN IMME- DIATE SESSION TO CONSIDER HER REQUEST. PRESIDENT FAURE HAS RETURNED TO PARIS. Decision to Take Up the Matter Is Reached by Him After Confer- ence With Two of His Min- isters and a General, PARIS, Sept. 5§.—Owing to the resignation of M. Godfroy Cavaignac of the Ministry of War, President Faure returned to Paris this morning and conferred with M. del Casse, Minister for Foreign Affairs; M. Bourgeois, Minister of Public Education, and Gen. Zurlinden. The Cabinet will meet immediately ex- pressly to deal with the request from Mme, Dreyfus for a revision of the proceedings of the court-martial that condemned her husband. The Cabinet is now practically unanimous in favor of revision—partly because the Ministers are aware that there is no other method of satisfying public feeling. According to Ke Soir, M. Faure, who ré- tirement will iffvolve thes resignation of other Ministers. The fact that Gen. Zur- linden has been in conference with M. Faure is taken to mean that he will succeed M. Cavaignac at the War Office. According to Le Soir M. Faure, who re- ceived M. Cavaignac yesterday, strongly urged him to withdraw his resignation, The paper also asserts that the President will endeavor to prevent a decision in favor of revision. The name of Gen, Saussier, formerly Mili- tary Governor of Paris, is mentioned in connection with the War Office portfolio. The services at the interment of the re- mains of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry at Pochy were civil, the B'shop of Chalons hav- ing forbidden religious services. Several staff officers were present at the ceremony. When the Cabinet met to-day the Min- ister of Justice, M. Ferdinand Sarrien, in- formed his colleagues of the _ receipt of Mme. Dreyfus’ request for a revision of the verdict against her husband. M. Sarrie‘a promised to give a statement of the result of his examination into the matter at a meeting of the Cabinet to be convened after the Minister of War shall have been ap- pointed. The Premier explained the reasons actu- ating Gens Saussier and Zurlinden in de- clining the office of Minister of War. He was now awaiting, he said, the decision of othgr Generals to whom he had offered the portfolio. 7BLA 10 COME TO AMERICA He Will Lecture cn Art, Literature and the Dreyfus Case. NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Emile Zola is to come here next month. He will deliver lec- tures on art, on literature and on the pris- oner of Devil’s Island. He is to tell why he writes novels in the style that he calls naturalistic, and the reason of his enmity to the romantic. Paul Meyer, a member of the firm of booksellers and publishers, Meyer Bros. & Co., a young friend of the o.d author, has gone abroad in the assu- rance of returing here with Emile Zola in person, prepared to answer to all the ques- tions that literary New York would ask of him WIFE KEPT HIM FROM SUICIDE Pitiful Mental Torture of Dreyfus Re- vealed by His Letters. PARIS, Sept. 5.—The horrible suffering of Dreyfus sincé his humiliation and im- prisonment on Devil’s Island and the high character of the man are shown by ex- tracts from letters written his wife. now made public. Dec. 14, 1894, he wrote: Dec. 14, 1894— “IT am in the hands of honest and loyal soldiers like myself. They will recognize, ‘I am sure, the error which has been com- mitted.’’ Dreyfus was convicted and Dec. 22, 1894. His first letter shows how he was affected: Dec. 25, 1894— ‘‘Maybe I will be able to vanquish the horrible terror with which the infamous punishment I am to suffer fills me. What more awful can befall an innocent man of honor than the loss of his honor? It is the worst of all martyrdoms, worse than death!”’ Jan. 6, 1895— “My God, how miserable {s my soul! What have I ever done in life to be pun- ished as 1 have been? The wretch who is guilty of my ru.n merits, if there is a God. a frightful fate. He deserves to be punt«hed through all of his own, In my poor children I curse him!’ Jan. 9, 18%— “My Beloved Wife: “When I reflect [I wonder how I could have had the courage after my condemna- tion to promise you to Hve.

DREYFUS DEMAND. Letthr to the Ministry Asking for a Revision of Sentences. PARIS, Sept. 6&—Following is the text of Mrie. Drey{us’ demand to the Minister of Justice for a revision of her husband’s trial: j “] bed the honor in the month of July sentenced after this » . cael al oe i to place before you a request tn which I asked you to exercise the right conferred upon you by law—and which is conferred upon no one else—to transmit to the Court of Cassation for reconsideration the judg- ment rendered against my unfortunate hus- band, in violation of article 101 of the mill- tary code. “IT have the honor, now, monsieur le min- istre, again to addresa you a second time appealing to you because, the law which overns such a revision doves not permit me irectly and by my own agency to invoke Justice. You and you alone, have the right to effect a revision ofyhe judgment bringing with it condemnation, on the ground of the discovery of new facts, tending to establish the innocence of the condemned man, quite distinctly and without reference to or as- sistance from all the revelations of many months past, which have thrown so mucn light apon the judicial error of 18%, and which have caused such profound emotion and excitement throughout the country. “It is not possible that you, above all others, shoyld not be struck by the follow- ing facts: irst, there is the examination of the bordereau, which was made in the trial of January of this year. The results of this examination were not communi- cated to my counsel, the counsel of war refusing them access to it. But I have cer- tain information that the conclusions drawn from this examination were not the Same as the examination of 1894. “There is also, following this exposure, a confession made by one of the principal accusers and witnesses against my husband in his trial M_ewhich he admits that he forged a document that the Minister of War in his speech to the chamber on July 7 last declared to be phe positive of the guilt of my husband, though it was written long after his condemnation, “This proof, therefore, crumbles to pleces and destroys the value of the positions which convinced the judges in 1894, since this partisan witness of the culpability of my husband has been convicted of the chase of forgery under circumstances of which you are fully aware. ‘But, monsieur le ministre, as I have just told you, in the case of a revision iIn- stituted by law for judicial] errors, the right to demand such revision belongs neither to the innocent man who has been unjustly condemned, nor to his wife, nor to his chil- dren; this right belongs to you alone. I now, therefore, monsieur le ministre, be- seech you to use without delay the rights which are conferred upon you by law, which are only conferred upon you both for the annulment and revision of a ver- dict which was neither just nor legal. “I beseech you to hear the voice, now almost unanimous, of public opinion and to put an end to the sufferings of an inno- cent man, who has always vpeen a loyal soldier and who has not ceased, even amid the tortures of an unmerited punishment, to declare his love for the fatherland and his faith in justice being finally done him. ‘I beg you will receive, monsieur le min- ister, the assurance of my most distin- guished consideration. “LUCIE ALFRED DREYFUS.” PRENNER’S MIND UNCHANGED. He Still Believes Dreyfus Guilty, but Favors a New Trial. PARIS, Sept. 5.—Interviews with the Pre- mier, M. Henry Brisson, and the late Min- ister of War, M. Godefrey Cava'‘gnac, on the subject of the political situation in France as it has been affected by the re- cent developments in the Dreyfus case are printed to-day in the Echo de Paris. M. Brisson is reported as having said that all the members of the Ministry are convinced of the guilt of Capt. Dreyfus, but that the Government must consider the change that has come over public opinion since the sul- cide last week of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry. M. Brisson expressed the view that it is the duty of the Government to end the excite- ment, which is paralyzing the best inter- ests of Paris and of the country. M. Cavaignac said that it would be a serious mistake, if not a supreme act of folly on the part of the Government, to persist in its present policy. ‘‘You will see,”’ said M. Cavaignac, “in what a condition the country will be after a new trial.’”’ It is said tn some generaily well informed quarters that the Premier, M. Brisson, ‘Will assume the war portfolio, relinquishing that of the Interior, which he holds in addition to the Presidency of the Council, to M. Vallee. In other equally well informed cir- cles it is said that Gen. Zurlinden. who was a member of the Ribot Cabinet, has ac- cepted the Ministry of War. Mr. Dooley on the Dreyfus Case. From the Chicago Journal. “ I see be th’ pa-apers,” said Mr. Dooley, that Col. Hinnery, th’ man that sint me frind Cap. Dhry-fuss to th’ cage, has mov- ed on. I sup-pose they'll give th’ Cap a new thrile now.”’ sn hope they won't,’ sa'd Mr. Hennessy. I dont know annything about it, but I think he’s guilty. He’s a Jew.” “Weil,” said Mr. Dooley, “yeer thoughts On this subject is inthrestin, but not con- clusive, as Darsey said to th’ Pollack that thought he cud lick him.

Pingree has Leen talking for publication again. “I’m a crank on the subject of decent people taking an in- timate interest in politics,” says Pingree. “The good man and godly gets up in the morning and reads the list of the con- at the caucus and he grieves at the indecency of such selections, He never will onderstand until he goes out in numbers and takes charge of the Caucuses himself and turns the thieves down.” Then Pingree told of a “fellow nominated for office in De- troit—a man of wealth, but the foulest, wickedest, basest mortal that God ever let live. I went to two prominent min- isters and gave them absolute proof of the man’s moral con- dition and told them it wae their duty to talk from the pul- “pit against the horror of@lecting such men. Both frankly told mé they didn’t dase do it, for the risk of their churches and congregations. The man was elected.” When Pingree talks for publication he says things. Pingree is a droll fellow.

In yesterday's Sunday Post-Dispatch Superintendent Sol- dan predicted a great year for the public schools of this city. He ertimated the attendance at 756,000, It will be a glorious echool opening if every child of school age applying for entrance shall be accommodated with no curtailment of privileges or unhealthful over-crowding. Un- til this condition is reached the public school management will fall short of its obligation to the people. But that progress is making in the public schools is evi- dent. The reform of the system has proved of value to the city. Improved economy and efficiency have enabled the board to devote more money to school buildings and exten- sion and to accomplish more with less proportionate expend- iture, There has been a needed change of school books and a long step in the direction of free books. Books will be supplied to the four lower grades without discrimination. The board should labor to extend free books to every grade, so that education in St. Louis may be free in every sense of the word, Conditions are favorable for a profitable school year. They should be utilized to the utmost. We look to the Board ot Education and to Superintendent Soldan and his corps of teachers to make long strides this year in the direction of an ideal public school system for St. Louis, While the powers get ready for that peace conference En- gland and Germuny go ahead perfecting their alliances and strengthening the guarantees of peace. The supply of plow- shares is not likely to be increased by the Czar’s nervous proposal to put away his sword. >>. —— The 1600 St. Louis school teachers who will start work to- morrow have been much interested in the special depart- ment of mee | and gossip devoted to them in the Sunday Post-Dispate during the summer. That department will be even mors: interesting, now that school work has begun. The Dingley tariff ,bill increased the tariff on glass bottles from %c to 1 cent a pound. The result is one of the biggest trusts the country has ever known. If the trusts paid Mr. Dingley all thev owe to him, he would be a very rich man. 1 he gb tener ig not a copperhead merely because it pub- lishés facts that’tiuirt incompetence and jobbery.

This was a good gamé, and with a little luck the Browns would have.won. Carsey pitched this game for St. Louis and was Opposed by Magee. The second game was a slugging match, the score being 14 to 5 in favor of the Colo- nels. Over 22 hits were made off the Browns’ pitchers. The St. Louis team’s new pitcher, Callahan, was tried in the He was knocked out in the first in- ning and was then relieved by Taylor. Big Jack is still sulking from the fine im- posed on him and did not try. The Colo- nels, as a result, landed on him and he was hit unmercifully. » Sullivan, the Browns’ shortstop, volun- teered to pitch the game out and did very well, considering that he is not a pitcher, The Browns play at Louisville again to- day. The Browns are sure enough in a bad fix. Their pitching staff is not very strong and Taylor, their star pitcher, is still sulking un- der that $10 fine. In all the games Taylor has appeared in since the fine was imposed on hien, he has not tried to pitch and has done his best to help his opponents win by lobbing the ball over the plate so they could slug them for several bases every time they come to bat. No such disgrace- ful work has ever before been seen in tne National League and why Tim Hurst stands for such conduct is something no fellow can understand. The Baltimores are scheduled to play the New Yorks at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 13.

Breitenstein pitched another one of those remarkable games that come few and far between. He shut out the Indians, though they had made six hits. “Breit’’ pitched as though he had regained his old form yesterday, and it was a treat to the Cin- cinnati fans to see the Clevelands fall be- fore tie once mighty southpaw.

Chehalis, Anaconda, Roan Wilkes, Ananias and Oihers Will Appear in Events There This Week. The Grand Circuit meeting of the light harness horses at Charter Oak Park, Hart- ford, which opens to-day and continues throughout the week, will be a “hummer.”’ The purses,and stakes have filled with the best horges in their respective classes and some sehsational sport is certainly in sight. The 2:06 pace will furnish the feature of the meeting and will attract to the post a field of the first magnitude. The two crack- erjacks of the Pacific Slope, Chehalis and Anaconda, will hook up with such. Eastern stars as Ananias, Bumps, Bright Light, Frank Bogash, Pearl Onward, Planet and Roan Wilkes. If the last-named is at his best, or as good as when he defeated Searchlight at Rigby Park, he will give the Pacific Siope wonders the race of their lives. Stfll Chehalis, on public form, should win. The racing piece on the trotting side of the meeting will be the 2:08 class for which Grace Hastings, Rilma, The Abbot, Dan Cupid, Kentucky Union, Klamath, Captain Jack, Menoline, Pilot Boy and William Penn are entered. The trio first named are literally “on edge’ just now and the money will quite likely be divided among them. In the 2:08 pace, thirteen are eligible to Start. Included in this number are Indi- Nicol B., Prince Albert and Quan- Whatevér horse in this class beats Prince Albert will about take the long end of the purse, but to do so probably will have to establish a new record. Twelve a@re yet left in for the 2:11 pace but Lady of the Manor, on late perform: ance, is in a class of her own and should prove an easy winner. A similar number are: eligible for the 2:11 trot, and as in the companion pace con- test, Grattan Boy appears to out-class his opponents, though Alcidalia, Georgianna, Hans McGregor, Jupe and Memoline are any one of them capable of supplying the sufprise party. - Fourteen fleet horses are carded to ‘meet in the 2:12 pace. King Chimes, Pinewood Queen Vitello and Winfield are a smart quartette and it will take the fracture of a eecond to beat them. Nineteen are named in the 2:18 trot. tn- cluding Bingen, Alves, Alrich, Cut-Glass Jay Hawker, Larabie, Percy.and Russo.

There was a big crowd at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon to see the fat man's race, in which Henry Sauer of 2896 North Grand avenue and G. Klosterman of Twenty-fourth and Cass avenue were the contestants. For 75 yards the race was a beauty bright. Then Klosterman came away and won heads on the post.

The Final Races Were Witnessed by an Immense Crowd and Were Ac- companied by Exciting Incidents. Five thousand lovers of the oar or the man who pulls one journeyed out to Creve Coeur Lake Sunday to assist at the con- cluding day’s proceedings of the South- western’s rowing carnival. A life preserving breeze blew across the big sheet of water and made the way to the winning post a weary one for some of the scullers, but added considerably to the en- joyment of the big crowd. The features of the afternoon’s sport were the victories of the Harlem Cup winners in the senior fours and in the barge race and the collapse of the Agne brothers in the final heat of the singles. The Agne race had a bad looking angle to it. The ‘‘talent’’ as the cognoscenti, or sharps, among the oarsmen are called, were down hook, line and sinker on Fred Agne to win the race, The few of the knowing ones who would not lay odds-on, went to Fred's brother at 2to 1, Stetzer was quot- ed at 10s and it was ‘‘write your own ticket” about Rapp. Fred Agne started off like a 1 to 10 shot and at the end of the first 100 yards was a couple of lengths in the lead, Broth- er Charles being second and Stetzer a ais- tant third. At the quarter a colossal c.iange occurred in the complexion of the race. The Agne brothers paddled as if short of work and Stetzer coming along in steam- boat style, won by twe lengths from Rapp, with the Agnes outside the distance flag. The crowd kicked and cried for all bete and the race to be declared off, but the judges decided otherwise and allowed the result to stand. The spectacular feature of the regatta was Blanhenmeister’s ‘‘get there’’ race In the quarter mile dash for singles. ‘‘Blank’’ made every tree along the lake shorea win- ning post and just lasted long enough to squeeze home a long nose in front of Rapp. First race, senior four, mile and a half, with a turn: Westernsa—G.

HAWTHORNE OPENS TO-DAY. Billy Bruen, Will E* There Pandling the Flag and the Ontario Handi. cap Will PB. Fun, ee Martimas, winner of the FPuturity of 1898 and who finished first past the post in the Flatbush handicap last Saturday, was bred by C. J. Enright at the Elmendorf Stud, near Lexington, Ky. Martimas is by imp. Candlemase out of Biggonet. The latter at the time of the breeding was the property of Walter B. Jennings, the owner of that fast mare and rare stayer Briar Sweet. Jennings at dif- ferent times also owned those good mares, Pearl Jennings Telie Doe and Swift. Martimas’ performance in the Flatbush, disastrous as it was to his owner William Hendrie and to Pittsburg Phil and W. B. Featherstonbaugh who plunged on the gon of Candlemass, showed that his victory in the Futurity was honestly earned and had Sosneng of a ‘‘fluke’’ nature to detract from Martimas may now fairly be accorded the position of Champ:on 2-year-old of 1898, for in the Flatbush he conceded weight to all his opponents and only lost the race after having won it, by the incompetency of his rider, Henry Lewis. Martemas made his debut at Fort Erie, July 4. It was in a five furlong race, and he won from Roya] Salute in 1:08, His sec- ond essay was equally successful. The dis- tance and track were the same a8 in his ini- tial effort, and he won with great ease by two lengths from Prince Plausible and Rec- ord in the improved time of 1:02%. Martemas’ third start was at Montreal. He again won, defeating Royal Salute and Oak Maid, five furlongs in 1:08. Martemas wae then taken to Saratoga, Where he was defeated by Kentucky Colo- nel in the first part of the five and a half furlong Grand Union Hotel Stake. Behind the pair were Sir Hubert, Galahad, Coun- sellor Wernberg and other good youngsters, In the second part of the Grand Union, the distance of which is six furlongs, Martimas finished fourth to Matanza, Kinley Mack and Manuel. Martemas’ sixth strt was in the Futurity, which he won way out in the light. So out of seven starts, Martimas has won four, was first past the post in another, was sec- ond in one, and unplaced only once. William Hendreee, owner of Martimas, is president of the Canadian Jockey Club and vice-president of the Ontario Jockey Club. He is the C. C. Maffitt, of the Ca- nadian circuit, and has spent a large-sized fortune in his endeavor to secure a good race horse. It is a matter of congratulation that such a thorough~sportsman should at last come into the possession of so good a colt as Martimas has shown himself to be. It is to be sincerely hoped that the wayward- ness which caused Martemas’ disqualifica- tion last Saturday will be speedily cor- rected in the colt by Trainer Whyte, who has Mr. Hendree’s horses in his charge. Three stakes are scheduled for decision to-day at Sheepshead Bay. They are the $3000 Autumn for 2-year-olds over the Fu- turity course; the $5 Twin City Handicap for 3-year-olds and upwards at a mile and a quarter and the Westbury Steeplechase. Tuesday two stakes will be run off, name- ly, the Golden Rod for 2-year-olds at six and a half furlongs on the turf and the September Stake for 3-year-dids at a mile and three furlongs. At Hawthorne to-day the attractions will be Billy Bruen’s starting and the Ontario Handicap, for which the following horses are carded to start: Ontario Handicap Sardonic St. Alfonses D ..

Jack Baty and Jack: O’Donnell Will Be the First to Test the Law There. Special to tue Post-Dispatch. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 4.—Frank Erne and Kid Lavigne will not be the first two men after all to crawl through the ropes of the Hawthorne Athletic Club’s ring at Cheektowaga: Yesterday afternoon it was decided to put on Jack Baty the negro middleweight boxer, who defeated Jim Daly, Corbett’s ex-spar- ring partner here recently in @ 12-round pre- liminary with Jack O'Donnell of San Fran- c'sco, who is better known as Sharkey, be- ing a protege of the sailor boxer. Sharkey appeared in this city about a month ago with a local middle weight and knocked him out in two rounds. It ought to be a first- class preliminary bout. They will meet at 156 pounds. Jatwnes J. Corbett, who was in this city yesterday for @ few minutes on his way to New York, picked Lavigne for a sure win- ner in the contest between the champion lightweight and Frank Erne of this city. Corbett however is known to be a remark- ably poor picker of winning pugilists. He has two reasons for believing that Erne will be whipped, first because Lavigne is train- ing with him at Asbury Park and secondly because Erne made Dal Hawkins, who was Corbett's protege, hunt his hole and made him acknowledge that he wanted none of the Buffalonians game. The finishing touches to the big structure will be made the first part of next week. Everything is now in readiness for the Erne- Lav'gne lightweight contest.

MONDAY-—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH— 4 How Pupils Will Obtain the New Books. —a ST FREE TO THE FIR THOSE ITED WITH VALUE OF OLD BOOKS. WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET STARTED. About 65,000 St. Louis Boys and ‘Girls Will Assemble in the Pub- lic Schools Bright and Early Tuesday. Boys and girls tumbled out of bed Mon- @ay morning determined to crowd as much fun as possible into, the day, for Tuesday they must begin work, ; At 9 o'clock Tuesday morning about 66,000 young people ranging in age from 6 to 16 will be seated in schoolrooms filled with expectancy of coming events momentous to them. Some will delightfully greet old and loved teachers, some~will gaze with childish suspicion on the faces of new in- structors. -About 1500 teachers in 87 schools will take up the burden of another school year, some with pleasure and others with sighs. The great educational machine will begin to move, heavily at first, and the new school,year will be on. 7 The feature of the school opening this rear is the complete change of books. Necessarily this big task will take time and will cause some confusion, and it will be at least a week before any serious work can be done, because that time is required | for the delivery of the new books. The School Board’s new rule provides that {in the first four grades books shall be free to ali pupils. But the rule also stipulates that these free books shall never be taken from the school buildings, and if any pri- mary pupil wishes to study at home his or her parents must purchase books.. The board does not believe that any pupil in the first four grades need take books home to keep pace, as hours for study in school are allowed. Soin order to prevent the loss and destruction of free. books it is required that they be left at the schools, In the grades above the fourth books are not free, except to such pupils as the teach- ers and principals may know to be unable to urchase them. It is not required of these that thew stamp themselves as paupers by furnishing a certificate that they cannot pay for books. The determination of the finan- cial standing of the pupil is left to the teachers and principals. To ‘obtain forward to Supply Commissioner William Bryan an appl the child and its father or mother and the occupation and address of the latter. Rule $4, section 1V., which covers such caé6es, is as follows: Text-books gelonging to the board shall be furnished to pupils in the fifth and all higher grader of tne schools in cases where the pupil, or his parent or guardian, is unable to pay for the same. It shall be the aluty of the teacher and principal to investigate the facts of each case and to issne text-books to pupils needing the same where they are satisfied that the in- ability to purchase exists. A written -report @hall in each case be filed with the Supply Commissioner, stating the name of the pupil, and the name. residence and occupation of the arent or guardian, if such exists. Such re- ports shall be kept on file by the Supply Com- missioner, subject to the inspection of the board or the members thereof. The supply commissioner will then issue the books applied for. An elaborate system for exchanging the old books for the new has been devised by Supply Commissioner Bryan. Although the _exchange system covers all grades, it is not expected that it will obtain in the first four grades, since the new books of those grades are free and there is no incentive for pupils to turn in old books. In the grades above.the first four pupils will be allowed a certain amount for old books returned in part payment for the mew books. Each principal has been provided with an éxchange order book, filled with blanks poewing the actual cost to the pupils who have old books to exchange, of each new book. The principal must fill out one of these blanks for each room, showing the number of new books required and. the number of old books turned in,’ and send it with the money to make up the differ- ence to Supply Commissioner Bryan. The following week the new books will be de- livered to the pupils. The schedule officers for the grades @bove fourt showing the market price of the new books and the exchange price is as follows: Fifth reader, exchange price, 2% cents: ~- et price, 32 cents; allowance for old ooK, 8 cents. g Lessons in English, exchange price, 30 cents; market —, 63 cents; allowance for old books, 33 cents.

WITH-POISON, ANIFE AND WATER. a “> —— Mary Bardey Took Paris Green and Died, Probably Because She Had Domestic Troubles. Mrs. Mary Bardey decided upon paris green as a route for lcaving the world. She took: @ big dose Sunday afternoon at #2? o’clock and was soon found unconscious in a rocen at her home, 1322 North Sixth street. An ambulance carried the suicide to the City Dispensary, wher:. Dr. K*varney used stomach pump, .but the poison had already been distributed throughout the system. When Dr. Kearney started the woman to the hospital, it was ev.dent that death was close upon her. She died at 7 o’ciock without regaining cunmsciousness. The unhappvpy woman left no letter or other information denoting the cause of her suicide, but it is presumed to be o account of dcmestic trouble. She separate. from her husband sume time ago, and. he has the custody of the dead woman’s two children. Dose of Morphine Taken by Sarah Fields a Weck Ago Has Proved Fatal. Sarah Fields died at the City Hespital Sunday night from the effects of an over- dose of morphine, taken aeweek ago. The poison had taken effect so throoughly be- fore the woman reached the hospital that the doctors could do but little for her. That Mrs. Fields lived a week is re- garded as somewhat remarkable. She was unconscious all of the time during her stay at the hospital, and could give no account of herself. She lived. at 1807 Franklin, dave- nue. When Mrs. Field first reached the hos- pital the doctors decided that she had at- tempted suicide, but subsequent develop- ments caused them to abandon .that theory. A sister of the dead ee 4 ex- plains the overdose of morphine. t was taken to relieve a severe headache, the sister says, years old.

Smith declared sever an artery. self. He is at the City Hospital and will re- cover. He says he was despondent on ac- count of having no employment, and that he wanted to die. He is 44 years old and has the appearance of having once been in prosperous circumstances. He is educated and has good business address. Of late vears he has been periodically employed as an advertising solicitor. His wife left him about a year ago:and that added to his despondency. Six months ago he made his first attempt at self-destruction, and that time he cut an artery. _—---@— —---- Finely Dressed Colored Woman Who Tried to Drewn Herself and Won’t Reveal Her Identity. that he was trying to He: wanted to kill him- Dr. Sutter has a mystery at the City Hos- pital in the person of a colored woman who refuses to tell her name. She tried to end her life Sunday night by drowning in the river at the foot of Cherry street. A Fourth District policeman saw her wade out into the water. *He followed just in time to prevent the suicide. It is suspected that the woman is men- tally unbalanced and she is held at the hos- pital for observation. She is apparently about 30 years old and was dressed in cost! garments when she reached the aanstal Although she was not allowed by the po- liceman to reach deep water, she succeed- ed in thoroughly drenching herself, and her fine clothing is ruined by mud and water.

William Ryder has blossomed out as a political platform builder. He has constructed the platform of a new party, whose chief tenet is that civil service re- form is a fraud and.a delusion. The party was born Saturday night. The meeting was presided over by William O’Hara and P. McGorman was the secre- ary. The resolutions were under the exclusive direction of Gen Ryder. In reporting his new political creed the General delivered him famous from Blood Springs, Ark., to St. Louls. It is unnecessary to add that the resolu- tions were adopted with a whoop, and the new party was fairly launched on the sea of politics. The resolutions as presented by their author are as follows: “Whereas, tine of the highest Incentives to honest and effective work in behalf of the prin- ciples of representative republican government and the success o1 any political party comes of a laud- able and worthy desire for political preferment of individuals at the Lands of their respective party organizations’ and ‘‘Whereas, The so-called system of civil service system, is an offshoot of the British system of official tenure, and has no place in an elective, republican form of government; and “Whereas, Believing that the tenure of all -of- ficials in our government, local, State and Fed- eral, should depend upon the will of the people expressed through the ballot box, therefore be it **Resolyed, By the Workingmen’s Protective As- sociation of the city of St. Louis, that we will refuse to give our votes to any political which does not demand in its platform, in ex- press terms, the repeal of the civil service act, and which does not declare that official prefer- ment should be given as a reward for faithful and honest services for party principles and party organization.’’ Take the ILLINOIS CENTRAL Noonday Train for Chicago and Northern summer re- sorts.

John Malone of 3508 Chouteau avenue, risked his life Sunday afternoon to save the life of a little boy. Malone was standing with a party of friends at the corner of Compton and Chouteau avenues when a runaway horse turned the corner from Missouri avenue and dashed down Chouteau avenue w.th a light road wagon. There was a child in the wagon, a little curly-headed fellow, too young to know what danger he was in. He knelt in the buggy bed, clutching the dashboard. Men ran out all along the street, but the horse ran the fa@@ier. Malone ran out and leaped ‘fate of the wagon. He caught it squarely id pulled himself in. Then he caught upathe lines and with the little boy he had reScued clinging to his leg, he brought the runaway to an abrupt halt, amid cheers from the people along the street. CAN'T BUY A COFFIN.

Qa» —" STORE OF GEORGE DIEL & BROS. ROBBED FOR TWELFTH TIME, THIEF BROKE A FINE WINDOW. Somebody Breaks in This Store About Twice a Year, but the Police Don’t Seem to Care. George Diel & Bros., clothing and shoe merchants at 1231-35 Franklin avenue, suf- fered early Sunday morning their regular semi-annual visitation of thieves. The firm has been in business at the present location seven years. In this time burglars have entered the store 12 times. Ten times the robbers have broken a plate glass worth from $50 to $75. Once they cut a hole in the stone floor and took booty out through the cellar. The thefts have at no time been heavy. The thieves have con- tented themselves with a little cash, a few airs of shoes and several! articles of wear- ng apparel. The principal damage has al- Ways been the ruin wrought in getting into the store. It has been just a year since the hole Was cut in the floor. The firm was much pleased with this departure in the method of effecting an entrance. It was much cheaper than the old method of smashing plate glass, and the Messrs. Diel were elated to think that the thieves had be- come so considerate as to break in at the least possible expense to the firm, But alas for hopes! Within less than three months a burglar put a big stone through the $75 glass in the front central window to get a clean shirt and 4 pair of shoes. Last week an attache of the store re- marked that it was about time for another robbery, and the prediction was freely in- dulged in that the window-smasher must surely be around in a few nights to get his fall suit of clothes. He came Sunday morning. He pitched a stone through a $65 glass upon the east front corner of the store and fished through the hole with a hook and stick a dozen pairs of suspenders, a few neckties and other articles, The robbery was discovered after sunrise. The Messrs. Diel complain of inadequate police protection. They say that for the 12 robberies committed there the police have not made an arrest, and that up to90 clock Monday morning there had bcen no officer around to see what the robbers had done. FOUGHT AGAINST ODDS. But James Neville Had Knife and Equalized Matters. Charles Bunselmeyer is at the City Hos- pital with a serious stab wound in his left side. James Neville is locked up at the Fifth District Police Station, charged wtih the cutting. A Sundaw beer fest led to the trouble. Bunselmeyer and Neville, « with several companions, were’ canning beer at Nine- teenth and Destrehan streets when a quarrel arose as to who should pay for the next can. The quarrel turned into a fight. William Bunselmeyer, a brother of Charles. took a hand, and Neville, fear- ing that he would be routed by the two brothers, drew his knife and began slash- ing at both of them. He struck Charles and that ended the fight. Neville was arrested. a few minutes later. He made no effort to evade the police and claims that he acted in self- defense. The Bunselmeyers live at 1514 Mallinckrodt street. Neville’s home is at 1030 Destrehan street. The injured man will recover.

Two baby, swindlers oOp- erate daily with profit along Jefferson and California avenues, south of Gravois av- enue. So far they have eluded the vigi- lance of the policé and the Humane So- ciety. They have aliases just like grown up con- fidence operators and have a stock of hard luck stories that will not stand investiga- tion. There is evidence that they are guided by an older person, who profits by their fraud. Eddie Wentz was the name png little boy, apparently not over 7 years, gave when he first showed up on Ca ifornia av- enue, Just south of Wyoming street, a few days ago. A kind housewife listened while he told how his mother ran him away from home, because he could not realize a nickel sell- ing shoe polish. e tale was told with sobs and when Eddie heft the house he had a bright new dime in one hand and a piece of bread in the other. At the next house he told the story all over again and got another stake, The next day another boy’ larger than Eddie, but strikingly like him in dress and features, appeared in the same block. His was a stepmother story. . He, too, had been put out, but he believed a quarter would appease his stepmother and place him on a peace footing at home. Of course he got the quarter. Among other houses he visit- ed was that of Frank Benish at 3220A Cal- ifornia avenue. Mr. Benish’s son Tom, a bright boy of ll, thought the-.story didn’t sound ht. He quietly shadowed the boy and saw him go to Utah street and California av- enue, where he met a woman to whom he handed the money he.- had collected. Woman and boy took a car bound for Ca- rondelet. The following day the smaller boy showed up again. He was not Eddie this time, but Johnny Walz. He lived on Rutger stregt, he said. Mamma was in a ‘antrum again and he couldn’t go home without a dime for a sacrifice at the do- mestic altar. Little Tommy Benish was on the alert again. He followed Eddie. alias Johnny, and saw him meet the same wo- mon who had waited for the larger boy the day before. Residents of California piaa.

BAUMHOFF TO WED. Superintendent of the Lindell System Will Become a Benedict. The engagement its announced of George W. Baumhoff, general superintendent of the Lindell Railway system, to Miss Clara Stubblefield, formerly of St. Louis, but now of Salem, Mo. Miss Stubblefield is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Stubblefield and was popu- lar in St. Louis society when her parents resided at 3932 Page boulevard. She was organ.st at Centenary Methodist Church for seven yearns, She was a general favorite in her set. At a church entertainment she met the. man who will become her husband in a few days. Their acquaintance ripened into love, but they kept the secret to themselves un- til ready to announce their engagement. Mr. Baumhoff is a widower, 44 years old. He has five children, ranging in age from 5 to 15 years. They were in complete ig- norance of their father’s matrimonial in- tentions until a day or two ago. They were. surprised, but are ready to welcome the bride. Mr. Baumhoff lives with his mother and family at 3308 Park avenue. A Post-Dispatch reporter called there Monday morning but found the gate fas- tened with a padlock. He was trying to work the combination when a pretty miss, pa from an upper window, said: es i”. When informed of the visitor’s mission she said: “You had better see pa. He knows more about the marriage than we ag tell you. Why, certainly, we approve t ‘es The reporter had scarcely entered Mr. Baumhoft’s cuter office when an official greeted him with: ‘No jobs to-day, sir.”” The caller gave assurance that he was not seeking a blue uniform, whereupon the railroad man said, with much seriousness: “The boss is right busy. In fact, he is going to be married and is making arrange- mente to leave the city.’’ Mr. Baumhoff was willing to talk on any subject but one. “I would like to tell the newspapers all about my coming marriage,” he said, ‘‘but you know the public cares little about what I do. ‘Some one rang the telephone in my residence at 2 o'clock this morning to ask if there was any truth in the rumor of my engagement to Miss Stubblefield. You can't imagine how anxious I was to shy a brick- bat at that fellow. The incident cost me two hours’ sleep.’’ ss “How long have you been engaged?” the superintendent wae asked. ‘Well, let me see,” replied Mr, Baumhof?, gazing towards the ceiling, “I believe Miss Stubblefield and I knew about it six months ago. But, I won't say any more. I haven't even told my brother Fred yet.” WITH MILITARY HONORS.
