Mrs. Schroeder left home -at 10 o'clock Monday. She packed her valise and visited séveral of her neighbors, telling them that ehe was going away to remain, and she told them good-by.

He said he owned much property tn South St. uis, He also held’ a considerable sum of money in trust for other people. Schroeder was a widower when he mar- ried Miss Mattie Kiehl eighteen months ago. She was a handsome and stylish woman, approaching 30 years of age, and was from one of the best families ina Franklin County, Mo. When they were married they came to St. Louis and oc- cupled comfortable quarters upstairs in one of Schroeder’s houses, 1755 South Righteenth street. A little more than six months ago a baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder. It lived but a short time, Since then, the deserted husband says, Mrs. Schroeder has been fretful and peevish. He thinks her mind is affected as the result of ill-health. He knew noth- ing, he claims, of her contemplating leav- ing him, and never suspected anything un- til Monday night, when he went heme and found his wife and the $27,000 gone. . The neighbors living near the Schroeders know more than Mr. Schroeder reported at the Four Courts. Mrs. Von Runnen lives downstairs fn the Schroeder house. “Yes. ‘Mire.

But she had said this several times before and I did not have any idea she would make her words good. “I did not encourage her to talk and in a few minutes she walked to the front door where her valise was sitting. I no- tieed that there was an air of determina- tlon about her that I had not observed before, but still I could not believe that she was really going away. “Mr, and Mrs. Schroeder have had do- mestic troubles. They quarreled very of- ten, and after every quarrel Mrs, Schroed- er would come to me and tell me about her troubles. [I would tell my husband and he told me I had best not mix up in our neighbor's affairs. When Mrs. Schroeder came to me a day or two ago and wanted to talk wbhout her troubles I told her I would rather not hear about {t. “We really did not know that she was gone tor good until Mr, Schroeder came home last night. Then he found a note upstairs from his wife. This note said {n substance that she was gone and there was no use of his trying to locate her. When she Rot ready, and that would. per- haps, be soon, she would write to him and let him know where she was. I da not know anything about the amount of money ‘Mr. Schroeder stayed at home most of the time, and if he had any office any place I don’t know where 't is locuted.”’ Schroeder was a juryman in Judge Tal- ty s court Tuesday morning. When court convened he approached the bar and told Judge Talty that a great calamity had be- fallen him and he asked to be excused, The court Was already apprised of the circum- Stance and excused Schroeder at once. “The money and papers, mostly notes, taken by my _ wife.” said Schroeder. “amount to $27.00. of this amount $1000 was In cash. There was $8000 in negotiable notes and the remainder could not be ne- gotiated. JT had notes for $18,000 held in trust for various persons whom I was trustee for.

White, a brother, who, when last heard irom, Was at or near Baldwin, he having received a letter bearing the Baldwin post- mark. He examined the hotel register and pointed out the name of Frank M. White, under date of Aug. 25, 1898. He said he feared hie brother had foully dealt with, as he wrote him in September that he was camped on a lake near Baldwin, in an old hut, witl a party from Reed City, Mich. The old man commenced a diligent search, going to the lakes all around in this vicinity for several miles, of which there are several, until on Thursday, Nov. li, he advised the village marshal that he had made a discovery and wanted some one to go with him to make a further in- vestigation.

Keasey’s Life and Death Rivals the Drama of “East Lynne.”’ MONTREAL, forgotten Nov. 22.—One of the Que., mysteries of Canadian criminal annals, in which interest Is just renewed, deals with the antecedents of Walter Mc- Wherrell, who is. now serving a life sen- tence in Kingston penitentiary for killing an aged couple named Williams, near Port Credit, five years ago. Although captured and ultimately convicted, the mystery of McWherrell’a identity was never really solved. Within the last few weeks, however, a woman giving tre name of Mrs. G. M. K. Truman, Mount Hope Cottage, Queen street, North Hamilton, began to intercede RIVALS “EAST LYNNE.” CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Since the death of Mrs. Mary Keasey, a brief account of which was wired the Post-Dispatch yester- day, the full story of the romantic and pathetic history of her life has been re- vealed. It is a close parallel of Lynne.”’ The doctors pronounced hysteria as the cause of the poor woman’s death, but the statements of friends and the cir- cumstances of Mrs. Keasey’s previous life resulted from a broken heart. Mrs. Keasey was married in 1880 and dil- vorced in 1890. Her husband married again the following year. For nearly eight years Mrs. Keasey worked as a domestic to sup- port herself, and finally iast August had to go back to her former husband, enter his household practically asa servant, live with his second wife and her own two children, see the affections that were formerly lav- ished on her given to another and bear her sorrow in silence. Mrs. Keasey was on her way Thureday evening from the home of her husband, 481 Twenty-ninth place, to call on her physi- cian, Dr. Anthony, 465 Dearborn avenue, who had been treating her for nervous trouble for several months, when she fell at 6 o’clock at the corner of North Clark and Chestnut streets. She was removed to the.Polyciinic Hospital, at 174 Chicago ave- nue, and died an hour later without regain- ing consciousness. Her former husband was notified at once, but failed to call and identify the remains until last night. The body was then removed to the undertaking establishment of Gavin & Son. It will be taken to her old home, South Bend, Ind., this evening by her husband’'s:‘second wife and her own daughter. Burial will be from the residence of a-cousin, Mrs. Eliza Hammond, 317 Lafayette street. In 1880 Charles C. Keasey led his first wife, then 20 years old, to the altar. The ceremony was performed in the little chap- el of the First Episcopal Church of South Bend, Ind., and was witnessed by hun- dreds of friends and relatives. Two hap- pier people never lived than was this couple that bright day. One year later their happiness and home was further brightened by the arrival of a daughter. Five more years of wedded bliss and a son and heir was added to the family. The foliowing year the family moved to Chicago and went to housekeeping at 491 Twenty-ninth place. Clouds began to appear on the horizon of their married life two years later and the couple parted, the husband retaining the children. In 1890 Mrs, Keasey made appli- cation for a divorce, charging her husband w.th failure to provide for her. The decree was granted and Mrs. Keasey jost both her husband and her children. She had no near relatives or friends to whom she could ap- peal-for assistance, and was finally forced to apply for a position as domestic. For years she had managed to eke out a precarious exi:tence at this menial service, her heart ach'ng all the time for her hus- band and children. Three months ago she lost her position, owing to her being sub- ject to attacks of nervous prostration. Day after day she tramped the city in quest of work. Finally after what little money she had laid away had been spent in prov ding lodg- ing and food for herself, she turned again to her former husband and went to his home. Keasey and his second wife took her in with her trunks and belongings and she helped in the work of the little house- hold to recompense the family for her board and keeping. Her nervousness increased rapidly after her resuming her home with her former husband, so her friends say. Here she was, in the same house with her own two chil- dren and husband, and another woman whom the husband called wife and the children addressed as mother. ‘‘No won- der her poor heart broke," said a neighbor in discussing the sad case last night. For nearly a year Mrs. Keasey the first had been under the medical care of Dr. Anthony. When she started to see him Thursday it was with much difficulty. Pas- sengers on the car and pedestrians on the street were attracted by her feeble condi- tion. and two men helped her off the car. What was their surprise to see her falter as she neared the curb, throw up her arms and aink slowly to the pavement. Those who ran to pick her up found she was un- conscious. An ambulance was called and Mrs, Keasey was taken to the hospital, where ehe expired without regaining con- sciousness. The remains of Mrs. Keasey were taken to the undertaking establishment of Gavin & Son in North Clark street. The mother of the decedent, Mrs. Sarah Hammond, Willlamsport, Pa., was notified. She in- structed the undertaker to sbi the re- mains to South Bend, Ind., for interment, faving aleo that two of her daughters, re- siding in Willlamsport, would meet the re- mains at South Bend to asisst at the fu- neral of their sister. Mrs. Keasey the sec- ond accompanied the remains from here, leaving on the Lake Shore train at 10 o'clock to-day. Mr. Keasey did not go to the funeral. | i ' | ‘East | | and surroundings would indicate that death | LORD KINNAIRD A DOUBLE MURDERER. | —_——_-+4¢ The Pathetic History of Mrs. Charles O..e Woman in a Hospital, Her Beauty Destroyed—Another May Go to Prison—Sequel to One Man’s Perfidy. with the Minister of Jdstice for the par- don of McWherrell, who, she stated, was a relative of hers and connected with a dils- tinguished family in the old country. Living among the poor, and no better off herself, Mrs. Truman tells her Hamilton neighbors that she is Lady Kinnaird, the wife of the rightful heir of one of the great estates ‘n Scotland, and that she obtains her title in virtue of being the duly wedded wife of Walter McWherrell, con- demned murderer, who, she claims is the scapegrace of a Scotch noble and who ran away and joined the army and now, through the death of Lord Kinnaird, be- comes the heir to the title and estates. —_—_——~too—— DOUBLE LIFE’S SEQUEL. Special to the Post-Dispatch NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Love works cu- riously. It sent one woman to a hospita: with her beautiful face horribly eaten away and another may go to the penitentiary. Both lovedsthe same man. The latter was his wife, the former his mistress. Yet, the love each bore the man was so over-power- ing that for two weeks the woman in the hosp:talvhas suffered the tortures of the damned, but not a word has she breathed that would tell who she was, who injured her, or why. The other knew, but would not tell. At last, goaded beyond endurance by the neglect of her husband, ehe was told all. It damns him and may imprison her for half a life time. A New York mystery is thereby unraveled. Grace Livingston, a young woman Of ap- parent refinement and good breading, was found orthe night of Nov. 4 at the Boule- vard and Sixty-tifth street, horr.bly burned about the face, neck and arms w.th car- bolic acid. She was taken inan ambulance to Roosevelt Hospital. It was thought that she had attempted e6uicide, so she was reg- istered as a prisoner. When she waé abie to talk she said that she was the wife of William H. Livingston, a lawyer. She sa.d that she had gone to Sixty-fifth street to meet him, and had there encountered a etrange woman, who threw the acid over her. She declined to go into further details. There was no such lawyer, though at the residence address given by the woman it wae learned that Livingston and his wife l.ved there. Neith- er was at home, and- neither returned dur- ing the 17 days since. The police had passed the case on as an unsolved mystery. William H. Murphy was until a few days ago confidential man for Hugh Porter, one of the best railroad lawyers in this country. He married a Miss Mary Ward, a social leader of Philadelphia, in 1887. Everything went well for several years, until a. business trip took the husband to Michigan. A night or two after his return, while ex- erting her wifely prerogative of going through his pockets, Mrs. Murphy found a telegram dated from Detroit. It read: eeeoeeeeneevereeaee @eeeevreeeeeee eee ee ee eer eee eeeeee ee eee eteene > Shall I come on now, or wait here? GRACE LIVINGSTON, The husband said it was office business and his wife believed him. Later his busi- ness required his presence at the office at nights, he said. The wife expressed sorrow that he had to work so hard. She begged him to earn less and get more enjoyment out of what he had. Several years passed in this way. Last summer the family went to the sea- shore. Murphy ran down Saturdays at first. then got to sending telegrams that business kept him in the city over Sunday. Others have done likewise. This one got caught. A brother told the wife that her husband was living with another woman. She was ind'gnant that such a calumny should be uttered. Back to the city she came—and caught her erring spouse. Blandly and with great good nature Mur- phy admitted the allegation, but insisted that the woman was invo.ived in a scheme that meant thousands, and that he could not give her up. Their relations, he said, were purely of a business nature. “Mr. and Mrs. Livingston’ was on their door bell. Mrs. Murphy met the woman, who repeated the story of a big deal and told her how fond her husband was of Mrs. Murphy and the babies. The pictures of her children Mrs, Murphy saw on the woman's mantel. She was almost inclined give you till Jan. 1 to close the she said to Murphy that evening. “After that you must quit.’’ Murphy consented, and on Jan. 1 assured her the deal had been closed. He promised that he would never see the woman again. Three days later the wife saw him with her. Then husband and wife lived apart in the same flat for their children’s sake. Later they separated legally. Murphy went to his lady love. Murphy began to tire of his blonde and spoke to her of leaving. On the even'ng of Nov. 1, ee after dinner time, the blonde woman called at Mrs. Murphy's flat. She said to Mrs. Murphy: “Your husband seems to be very fond of you and your children. If I give him up, would you take him back?” ‘“?T certainly would not,”’ said Mrs, is “How dare you here after ruining my home?” Mrs. Murphy suddenly called her children into a bedroom and closed the door, that they might not learn of their father’s dis- grace. When she returned angry words were exchanged. The vis tor quietly placed her hand in her bosom and drew forth a bottle. She raised it as if to throw it. In Mur- come ‘the flerce struggle that followed the con- the bottle Were spilled on the arms of both, burning them frizhtfully. Some of it spattered on their faces. Then the blonde woman stumbled and fell. leaving the bottle in the hands of her adversary, and as she fell the burn- ing liquid trickied down her face and eyes and lips and soaked through her clothing to her breast. The bottle fell empty to the floor. In spite of their awful suffering neither woman uttered a cry Or @& Moan. Mrs. Murphy helped the blonde to her feet and thrust her into the hall. She fourd her way to the street and walked tiil she fej], half a block away.

WILCOX, ALIAS WILLIAMS, DECLARES HE WILL MAKE NO DEFENSE. FAMOUS AS A COIN-SWEATER. li Is Believed by Government Officials That He Will Turn State’s Evi- dence Against Shaw. James Wilcox, alias Williams, stated Tuesday morning that he will plead guilty when arranged Tuesday afternoon in the United States District Court on a charge of coin sweating. It is generally believed Williams has de- cided to turn State’s evidence as to Will- iam Shaw, the alleged accomplice in crime, He realizes, the Federal authorities say, that his defense is hopeless and the best he can do is to confess. Wilcox was in court Tuesday wife. He said it was true he had de- cided to plead guilty, and he believed Judge Adams would deal with him leni- ently. He refused to discuss the report that he intended fo ap ear as a witness against his old frien w. Wileox is about ® years old. The Gov- ernment officials say he is one of the clev- erest criminals they ever encountered. He was arrested by Policeman Glynn several months ago in a store at Fourteenth and O'Fallon streets, while in the act of pass- ing a bogus dollar on the proprietor. The coin was found to be several grains short in weight. : Further investigation by Marshal Bohle’s deputies disciosed the fact that Wiicox was operating extensively as a coin- sweater.” The details of his work were given in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of June 26, 1K9R., W-leox inserted an advertisement in the newspapers of the city calling for a busi- ness partner to Invest in a money-making scheme. For $500 he guaranteed large and quick returns. He claimed that William Shaw was the agent for a gold mine at Cripple Creek, Col., which yielded many thousand dollars of gold to the ton almost w.thout expense by a device he had invented. No evidence was discovered to show that Wilcox used the mails to further his scheme and the Government abandoned its plans for prose- cuting him on that charge. COL.

Then the. machinery of the first bazaar ef the Jewish Societies was set in motion, @nd amid a merry hum of voices the task of helping the poor and distressed was for- mally begun. Thirty-five booths, gayly festooned in ational bannérs, red, white and blue bunt- ing, and huge bunches of sweet smelling flowers were arranged on the floor. Over each was a myriad of incandescent lights, illuminating the spacious Coliseum like the brillant glare of a nooOnday sun.

There is much suid in support of Senator Caffery's opinion fhat the Nicaragua Canal should be built by the United States Government without the intervention of syndicates or contractors. The Pacific railroads were built Which worked the Government for and every other species of privilege, and the result was a wigantic scandal,. which ruined many reputations and dis- Braced Congress, to say nothing of the millions stolen by ad- venturers from the public wealth. We may expect similar scandals whenever private corpora- tions have dealings of magnitude with the Government. The interests at stuke are so great and the possibility of large for- tunes so tempting that corruption and official debauchery are almost inevitable. But if the Gcvernment cannot, for any reason, undertake the work it should at least be represented in the enterprise by men who shall be inaccessible to any but public motives, and the terms of ithe grant should be so carefully guarded that no daring schemer may find it profitable to buy Congressmen as did the Credit Mobilier gang in the Union Pacific affair. to be corporations, land grants by private franchises, No tariff duty seems to be high enough to prevent the for- mation of a trust in any protected industry. = |] — SoS CUBAN SUFFERING. It does not appear that there is less misery in Cuba than there was before the war. According to some observers there is more. A story which is vouched for declares that conditions there are worse than auring the blockade. “In Matanzas the deaths have been 90 and the births 3 in a day,” and this applies to some extent to all the cities. To confirm this Admiral Samp- #0n Writes that the suffering is hideous. While the Americans are not yet technically in possession, it would seem tha: our Goernment might afford some relief to these poor people. The food sent to Cuba when the blockade Was raised is said to be rotting on the wharves because it is nohedy'’s duty to care for and distribute it. Red tape should not hold back a humane purpose, nor should consideration for the sensibilities of Spanish officials prevent the Americans in Hlavana from exercising the ordinary offices of humanty. —e © The legislator who rides on a railroad pass and is paid mile- Axe by Stat Oiling his conscience for the winter's labors. his is A WISE DECISION.

Pingree could not have made a remark more distasteful] to the leaders of the Republican party than this. So far from attempting to break up our monopolies the Republican party is favoring them. Conditions were never more favorable for their growth, but the Republicans do not want public atten- tion directed to the fact. On the contrary, they want to divert a | attention from it. One of the principal motives of many im- perialists is the desire to distract the minds of the people from domestic politics to outside affairs. Michigan's Governor its the Mrs. Malaprop of the Republican party. He has no political tact. He is always saying the wrong thing. = = % — = = The new French death helmet is a diabolical ‘invention. Every nerve in the body shrinks at the thought of instru- ments that pierce the eyes to bring about death, even if the action is instantaneous. If capital punishment by such a method would not deter the murderously inclined, no threat of death would do so. a Se Discussing the negro problem cannot be very profitable until] the President puts colored men In office in the North. The Northern colored man is the most intelligent of the negroes, and if he makes a good record as an office-holder in the North he may overcome the prejudice against his domination in the South. = = ™ eo It seems that Gov. Roosevelt owes his election to the fact that many voters lost their votes by not knowing how to cast their ballots. Let us hope, however, that this fact will not lead the Governor to oppose the education of voters. The Chinese Minister at Washington tells the Post-Dis- patch that he is for universal] peace. If the strong powers as well as the weak ones were of the same mind as Mr. Fang a piece of China might be saved. -——- ————._ Oooo The voter who stays at home rather than make an effort to nominate good men for office is perhaps the same citizen who is always seen in a jury-excuse procession.

Kila Wheeler Wilcox demands of the hotel clerk and theater box agent, in Monday's Post-Dispatch, that they unbend and come down from the high horse of supercilious dignity.

Regarding the scope of this commisston A. B. Dunning, ex-Street Commissioner of Scranton, Pa., and Secretary of the Na- tional Road Parliament, which met at the Omaha Exposition last summer, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “The law as framed provides for an ap- propriation of $10,000 and the appointment of three experts.- Out of this sum thelr sal- aries, traveling expenses, correspongence, clerk hire and office rent must be paid. Fach county must be visited at least once a year by one of the three commissioners. Surely there is no extravagance there, “The vaiue of experts is this: Toney can Visit a locality where a road is projected and find places near by where the materials can be dug up, mined, excavated or blasted out. They can pick out quarries that the ordinary observer would not dream of. This Was instanced in St. Paul not long ago, where an improvement project was about to be abandoned owing to the cost of haul- ing the material and the expense of tne etull. The experts found ideal road mate- tial near by and the improvements were made “This commission. can, with the aid of drainage and other eeological, sanitary data, make reports and pecseations in ‘bulletin form which can be sent to all the newspapers in the State.

I took her to a doctor and he said it was Eczema.

You can bulid.a good ma- cadam road at from $3000 to ) a mile. Build a mile or two running out of or into about fifty of the cities, to and from which much hauling is done. These strips of selentifically constructed thoroughfares will form striking object lessons, pay dor themselves and make sentiment which will help on the campaign of education. “Personally, I think brick is the Ideal pavement for cities. It is easily laid and torn up, wears well, presents a smooth sur- face and is cheap, considering its endur- ance. In Scranton we are spending $17,- “0 annually in repairing asphalt streets, and while they are nice to look at and ride upon, they are exceedingly costly. I have seen brick streets in constant use for vears. and not a cent expended thereon for repairs.’’ ‘ Miss Rella Harber of Trenton, Mo., State organizer of the Missouri Good Roads Ar- sociation, is much pleased at the succes* of the convention. ; “Qhio and Pennsylvania delegates are amazed at the progress Missourt is mak- ing,”’ | a said. “They want to come into our a*soclation and adopt our plan ot or- vanization, with township vice-presidents, a county president, secretary and treasur- er and monthly meetings at the counts ourthouses.

Thurman -end Joplin works under the road district provides that three-fourths of the revenue from saloons may be utilized in improving a district of six square miles. The measure has been in operation near- ly three years, Thirty-five teams and as many men are at work daily making roads in Jasper County, The pay is $1 per mar $2 per team per day. Tailings from mines make excellent surfacing ma- terial. The deepest cut encountered is nine feet and the deepest fill made so far is ll feet. In Joplin itself about $12,000 is spent for roads every year, most of this coming from the general tax, and in the whole district, which includes Webb City and Carterville, $17,000 annuaily. So far 15 miles of new rozdas have been constructed Concerning the Joplin lag. Organizer Miss Harber says: “The Hudson law will do for Joplin and do admirably, for there are 33 saloons there and the licenses they pay make a big sum. But under this law the cities pay for the roads for nearly the ent're six-mile-square district, as the law makes provision that — Joplin, Mo., is Hudson “THESE ROADS ARE THE WORST ON EARTH, BUT DURN MEIFIVOTE ANY TAX TO MAKE BETTER ONES.” three-fourths of the entire saloon revenue shall go to the district road fund. But we want a road law that will give equal bene- fits to all Miszouri. This is had under the ‘State aid’ law which d.vides the cost be- tween the State, county and the taxpayers along the proposed roads.”’ St. Charies County, Mo., sent two wide- awake delegates—Jacob Smith of West Alton and Joseph Trendley of St. Peiers. ‘Alton can boast of its brick streets, said Mr. Smith. ‘They are always _in good repair. They are splendid for e'ty purposes. My great difficu ty is in gettin the railroads to build spur tracks to grave beds so that we can get, gravel hauled to where we want it at a reasonab’e rate. There are creeks near us in whose beds there is enough gravel to make ak the roads in the county, but the railroads want to charge us full freight rates and will not put in a steam shovel, hence the ma- terial is costly.” Mr. Trendley, who is a road overseer, tells how he made converts to good roads: “T was given $60 to. use and I de.ermined to lay a strip of gravel street in St. Pe- ters as aneobject lesson. I had the stuff carted there and spread along the main street. For eome weeks we had no rain and I could have no rest owing to the complaints. But along came a heavy rain one night. The gravel and sand yacked Hke cement. The road became ard and the farmers were charmed. few days ago the city voted me $325 for gravel streets and the county duplicated the amount.”’ ee The 300 delegates attending the Good Roads Convention in session at Masonic Hall are a representative body—farmers, engineers, editors, politicians, lawyers, edu- cators, stock raisers, rai.road men and mer- chants. The speeches so far made are aiong practical lines. yoy Martin Dodge of Ohio, chief of the Road Inquiry Bureau at Washington, who ‘e also a Senator in Ohio, said in his ad- dress: “The national, State and county govern- ments should all assist in building roads. It would mean unto'd wealth to the rural districts. If agriculture were prospering at the present time we would not be caiied upon tuo devise means for building good roads. They would be constructed , e."° ine aneie effort of the national govern- ment to construct a highway from Cham- berland, Md., to the West was defeated by the lack of co-operation among the in the section which it was intended to traverse. Senator Dodge said he hoped to eee the return to the wisdom of the eary statesman. who planned this highway. Free delivery of matl_and parceis post would be advantages that would come with this higher civiiigation. Then much of the necessity of hitching up and driving over five or ten miles would be avoided and the telenhone could he used Chie? Dodge ca'les attention to the fact that no reduction had been made in the cost of hauling by an’mal power. although railroad and steamboat rates were much lower. The difficulties of the long haul have been overcome and h'igh speed attain- ed, but nothing has been done with the short haul It costs 2% cents per ton per mile to move products over American coun- try roads, a rate that prevails in Old Mex!- co, and about what it cost on the old S»nta Fe trall.

MADISON, Wis., Nov. 22.~—“It’s God who told me to write to you,” said Mary Jane McCabe of London, England, in a letter to President McKinley, telling him to see that her share of an estate left by her uncle, Patrick MeCabe, who died near Madison in 4 quarter of a century ago,.be sent to her. The abiding faith of the writer impressed President. McKinley and saved her letter from the waste basket. The President sent the letter to Mayor Whelan of Madison and inclosed a note of his own, asking that the case be Jooked into. The administrator had looked the world over for the heir, and the letter furnished the information sought. The estate, which is worth $2000, has been in the adminisirator’s hands for over twen- tv vears. and in u little while longer would have escheated to the State.

Correspondence of the Aseoclated Press NASSAU, N. P., Nov. 15.—The cablegrams sent up to date have given an outline of the condition of the Spanish cru‘ser Maria Ter- esa, whch went ashore in a heavy gale at Birdpoint, Cat Ieland, Nov. 3. By this first opportunity by meil details are forwarded. At last advices the cruiser was. still ashore, with little probability of being got- ten off. The gale that sent her ashore was so heavy that she was driven far up the reefs, and reets now as solid as a rock in 12 feet of water. The water ineide of her rising and falling with the tide, she Is eup- posed to be bilged. A very heavy surf is pouring in on the reefs, rendering it diffi- cult to board her. The ship's pet. a large cat. remains on board, and nobody can catch him. The ship’se flag, which was fiying when ehe etranded, a well-worn American ensign, has been brought .to. Nassau, and Consul Mc- Lain insists on keeping ‘t at the consulate asa eouvenir of the Spanish warehip which so pathetically sought a final resting place on the very ehores where Columbus first landed. The British steamer Antilla returned from the wreck Sunday and reported that it was impossible for her to accomplish any- thing. The surf wae so heavy that she could not get within a quarter of a mile of the Terésa, though drawing but nine feet. Two men on board managed to reach the Teresa in a boat, but the surf wae so strong they could not return,’ and finally reached the shore, where they were left to return to Nassau by schooner. The ship has been badly looted by the ne- ero. natives.of-the vicinity, an ignorant community, who generally believe that all wrecks are a. present e@ent them by the Lord, and to be gratefully accepted and utilized accordingly. Everything movable has been taken away, and even the tempo- rary -pine deck,. put on at Guantanamo for the passage north, has been cut to pieces, broken up and curried off by inhabitants. Much of the brasswork and copper has been hacked off and secreted in the bush to be realized upon hereafter. The provisione were eugerly seized, the reckless natives, who are like ducks in swimming, taking al! sorts of risks in their quest for plunder. Certain portions of.the ship’s stores, suczn as heavy hawsers, ropes, tons of machin- ery, canned provisions, etc., were taken off by a local official and forwarded to Nassau by small schooners. This official, it is but fair to eay. did all he could to prevent the looting, but did not succeed tO any great extent. Immediately upon the arrival of these articles at Nassau they were taken possession of by the Marshal of the Vice-Admiralty, on the ground that the ship and contents were derelicts and #0 belonged to the colonial authorities, The American Consul, Mr. McLain, noti- fled the Marshal that he considered the articles saved to be the property of the United States Government, and that he should at the proper time request that they be released and handed over to him. The question of ownership, thus raised, is not likely to be settled at once, OHIO FEARS A PLAGUE. Four Hundred Cases of Smallpox Al- ready Reported in the State.

EACH MAN HAS A CHANCE, If Pompadour Jim Is the Pugilist of Old He Should Get There, but Is He? ewe ee ae Nine to ten and take is betting this morning in 8t. Louis on Corbett-Sharkey fight, which is place in New York to-night. Those figures show how evenly they are matched. in New York this morning Corbett eays that he is a better and speedier man than ever and that he will win sure. Did you ever see an athlete, what his age, that was willing he had gone back? Did you ever see one who at 32 did not believe he was stronger and better than at ad Be your pick the tuke to to admit But what are the facts'in the case, as the attorney puts it? .-m 4 @ullivan licked all the fighters in a jiffy. At 34 he told hia friends that he was wigger, stronger and better than ever, and he certainly thought he was, but at that age, when it came to the real test, he could not beat a carpet. Corbett, who meets Sharkey to-night, is 32, and Sharkey, the man he faces, is 27. But Corbett has lived a fast life the past few years, while the sailor has been on hoard ship, a subject of order and disci- pline, and so he may be said to have fully 10 years the best of his opponent. In a long fight these things should count, and were to-night's battle to a finish Shar- key should have an excellent chance of winning. But the odds are against him for several reasons. The rules under which the men Nght prohibit clinching, roughing it and hitting In breakaways, the points that are really Sharkey’s stronghold. Then, too, as stated in yesterday’s columns, Corbett hus the best of it in reach, height and weight. if he has the old steam and strength to back this up he should win to-night's bat- tle easily. But has he? Nothing but a reai test will settle that question. Sharkey is dangerous, and Sharkey has a chance of winning because he has youth, strength and pluck at his back. He was the poorest boxer St. Louisans ever looked at, but since he appeared here two years azo he has boxed and bested the best of them and has had the best masters teach- ing him the sctentific rules of boxing, S80 ihe may have improved in that direction. Those in a position to know say that he has improved and that now he is just as g00d a boxer as any one of the big fei- lows. If, therefore, he has built up his _one weak point, then there is mone prvof that he is a dangerous opponent and that Corbett may find him such when they meet to-night. © The old and experienced members of the *“‘tancy”’ in St. Louis who have followed the fighting game for half a century ‘believe that Corbett will win and are placing their money that way. The younger contingent uppear to have a liking for Sharkey and are putting thelr money on him. To-night’s battle is for a $20,000 purse, $15,000 of which will ef tothe winner. The battle Is to be brought off before the Lenox Athletic Club and the advance sale of seats indicates that at least $60,000 will be taken in at the gate. The managers of the club therefore will clear mearly $50,000 off their Venture, In to-night’s battle Corbett will be sec- onded by MeVey and Charley White. The latter was behind Corbett when he fell be- fore Fitzsimmons at Carson City, and was at one time a etanch friend and second of the Cornishman. Sharkey will probably be coached by Tom O’ Rourke and Big Bob premetrong. who have trained him for this vittle. ; Honest John Kelly, who will officiate as referee, is. well-known in St. Louis He wos an umpire in the American Association in its palmiest days. He was a bosom friend of the “only King Kelly,” and when the latterdied King Kell’s wife and daughter were given a home at Honest John's, and have lived with him ever since. Honest John Kelly is the proprietor of a big estab- lishment in New York, and the sport-loving populace of Gotham have all sorts of faith in his honesty and integrity. They laugh at the very suggestion of fake on his part und say he will without doubt Kive each man a square deal. There will be two or bouts to-night before bett enter the ring. their corners at 9:30 New York t!me or at 8:30 St. Louis time. By midnight all par- ticulars of the fight should be in St. Louis.

WATER AND RAILROADS -— — EXCITING TOPICS OF DISCUSSION BEFORE THE BELLEVILLE CITY COUNCIL. —————— oe RECENT INJUNCTIONS. THE North Illinois Street and Swansea Property Owners Represented at the Deliberations. A large audience attended the perfor- mance of the City Council at Belleville, Monday afternoon—they got their money’s worth. From the standpoint of quantity, the orators could not have been improved upon. The quality was what everybody expected, plus a speech by Mr. Forman. The chief provocation was the North II- linois street railroad war. The water ques- tion was a good second. Mr. Halstead offered a resolution that the Zelleville Electric Railway Co, be allowed to extend its tracks to E and Illinois streets. Mr. Fredericks said he would not vote away another inch of street unless the com- pany agreed to pave between the tracks and one foot on either side. Attorney L. D. Turner, for the Railway Company, coitended that the Council had granted the company the right to lay the tracks May 17, 1897. He said the company wanted to build to Swansea, would pave between the tracks and put in a turnout at C street for the Suburban. Mr. Forman éaid the sole object of the Belleville Company in seeking to occupy North lllinois street was to shut out the Suburban. He made the statement that the Suburban was now carrying 4,000 passen- gers a month. Klein wanted to know why the Suburban cars did not run to the Eads’ bridge. Mr. Forman said new rails would have to be laid on the viaduct. Julius Bischof spoke for owners of North Illinois street. He said they preferred to have the city line ex- tended to Swansea because it would give transfers to all parts of town. W. Borders spoke for the people cf the property resolution was referred to the ordl- nance committee. An informal meeting will be held to consider it. The arguments in the injunction cases will be heard by Judge Schaefer in the Circuit Court Wednesday. The water question was brought up by introduction of an ordinance to au- thorize the Deep Well Water Co. to lay pipes for supplying lake water for sprin- kling and manufacturing purposes. Several Aldermen and City Attorney Tecklenberg talked against passing the or- dinance unless there was a reduction in the price paid by the city. A special committee. consisting of Bren- ner, Schilling and Fredericks, was appoint- ed to act with the Mayor and confer with President Leschen with a view to an agreement. A petition was presented by owners in favor of the extension Belleville Electric Railway track. A petition and ordinance of the Suburban for a right of way over Illinois, C, Short, D and Lincoln to A and the city limits were referred to the Ordinance Committee. The ordinance provides for a single track. FREIGHT CAR THIEVES. Four Youngsters Arrested for Stealing a Lot of Gloves. Four boys, said to compose a gang of freight car thieves, were arrested at Belle- ville Monday by Policeman Gruenewald. They are Hermann Voegtle, 16 years old; Henry Becker, 16; Martin Voll, 15, and Jo- seph Petri, 17. : They have been under surveillance for some time. Their arrest was caused by the tneft of a box of gloves from an Air Line car, which was standing on a west end ewitch Sunday. The boys were sweated, Voll finally ad- mitted he had taken the gloves and handed them to his confederates, Petri had five pairs of gloves and Becker one, which he claimed had been given him by Petri. The police are after another boy, said to have been implicated. The boys had a hearing Tuesday before Magistrate Needles. BURGLARS IN BELLEVILLE. Home of Adolph Mueller Entered by Nocturnal Thieves. Another burglary was reported to the Belleville police Monday as having oc- curred Sunday night. The burglars en- tered the residence of Adolph Mueller by cutting a slat and breaking a pane of a front window. They went through all the drawers in the house and turned the pock- ets wrong side out of all the garments they could find. In Mr. Mueller’s trousers they found $1.80, but that was the extent of their haul. They left through the front door. Early in the night Mr. Mueller’s had made a fuss and he had scouted around, but. discovering nobody, he re- turned to bed and slept soundly until morning. BELLEVILLE NEWS.

He lives at 815 South Race street, in Belleville. Monday he start- ed up his imagination, and soon convinced himself that he was a horse, or at least a small colt. He capered around in the yard on his hands and knees until he got hungry, and then he began browsing on the graas. A blade of grass got crossed in his throat and would neither go down nor comé back up. Dr. Washington West, Jr., played the part of a veterinarian and abstracted the grass. A parental injunction has been issued against Elmer, restraining him from play- ing horse or eating grass in future. PILES FELL ON HIM. T. F. Lehman Is Supposed to Be In- ternally Injured. T. F.

An Ordinance Proposed Substantially Reducing the Price ands Ex- tending the Contract. The East St. Louis City Council, through Mayor Stephens, has demanded a reduc- tion of the cost of lighting the city. The East St. Louis Electric Light and Power Co., of which Henry D. Sexton is secretary, has a ten-year contract with the city to furnish electric are lights at an an- nual cost to the municipality of about $17,- _ 000. This embraces eighty lights at $125 each a year, and about sixty others at ‘$110. The contract runs until March, 1900, _ according to the original ordinance, Under the necessity for additional lights in the city and the heavy expense already incurred in the old contract, the City Council was induced to renew the fight be- gun two years ago, during the Badér ad- ministration, for cheaper lights. Mayor Stephens has communicated the desire of the Counc.] to Secretary Sexton of the Electric Light Co., resulting in a concession in favor of the city ef about $2600 a year. The IUght company has sub- mitted an ordinance to the Council which ' proposes to furnish arc lights at a uniform 'cost of $100 each a year. This would allow about 26 new lights under the present ex- penditure. The new ordinance is in the hands of the Committee on Electric Lights, of which Al- derman Derlith is chairman. At yester- 'day’s Council meeting the Committee was | granted an extension of time to consider the measure. It is understood the delay the comimttee’s desire to Investigate the present cost of electric lights in other cities, and for the cropping out of objec- tions to a provision in the new ordinance which extends the contract with Mr. Sex. ton’s company until March, 1910. Definite action in the premises wil] proub- ably be taken when the Council meets again next Monday. LIVE STOCK. National Stock Yards. OATTLE—Receipts, 1100, SALES. is caused by NATIVE steady.

It is inconvenient and annoying, but there is no trace of the deep horror and sense of disgrace that would come to most men who are what he claims to b@é under like circumstances.

But nature was kind in many respects. She gave him a face, of the oval, dark type, which is sup- posed to appeal to women who look no deeper than the skin for evidences of merit in aman. His hair is dark and close-grow- ing. Huis skin is a clear olive, which shows faintly pink on his cheeks. His mustache is dark and droops over his mouth. The nose and eyes are the best features. The former is stra.ght, rather delicate in its curves and of sufficient size. The eyes are large, clear, expressive and of a dark gray hue, which changes to almost a brown un- der the influence of certain emotions. There is a total lack of shiftiness in the expres- sion of the eyes.

You're the Sheriff of this county, Peter Kerth, or cts on record as drawing the Sheriff's wages, and you've got orders to do this thing and you've got it to do.” The train and the Sheriff came into the Clayton station as a yoked pair. The Sheriff went into the day coach. Hle sought Miss Gertrude Vitt. He did not know whether she was & years old or 18, whether she was tall or short, or big or lit- tle. Hé knew nothing of the shade of her hair or the color of her eyes, and the tele- gram did not say whether Miss V itt wore a high hat, a sailor or a sunbonnet. It sim- ply said: ‘‘Arrest Miss Vitt.’ Tne Sheriff turned into the coach with his face a perfect theater of perplexity. In an instant it was alive with light. His eye rested upon Miss Vitt. There could ve no doubht about it, not any at all. There was but one lady in the coach. The Sheriff hurriedly asked: Miss Gertrude Vitt” “I am, sir. Way? ‘“T have a telegram’’—and the pulled it out to satisfy himself that really had it—‘‘a telegram from your er ordering vour arrest. Miss Vitt rose from her seat and looked the officer straight in both of his eyes. this is an insult. Arrest me, for I will not go. I shall not budge. the Sheriff of St. Louis County wondered whv he hadn't sent his wile over to make this arrest. Meanwhile men in the Miss Vitt and her family young woman's relief and officer an explanation. The Sheriff exhib- ited tne telegram, and, advised by her friends of the futilitv of remonstrance, Mics Vitt left the train with the officer and became a prisoner in the parlor of his home. Ther the Sheriff went to the lenneee) xh office and penciled this answer to Mr. Vitt: Yours received. I have ber. Come get_ her. Yours truly, PETER KE RTH. This was all he wrote on the paper, but down below it he wrote on the board: “Tt’s a cold dav when Sheriff Peter Kerth don’t come home with what he goes after.’ Lieutenant Governor Bolte was one of the men in the train who went to Miss Vitt’s relief. When Gov. Bolte reached St. Lou's he saw a young man pacing the mid- way with anxious mien and a er are the passengers from the St. L., & C. train. Mr. Bolte reasoned that ware was the person whom Miss Vitt was speeding to meet, and his reasoning was confirmed when the young man approached him and noiied if Miss Gertrude Vitt had been a passenger on the train. Mr. Bolte acquainted the young man with what had happened, and without go. ng further than to express his regret the dis- appointed stranger went his way. He did not go to Clayton. In the evening Mr. Vitt came, and his daughter, who had refused to talk while nee.

I Catarrh to Consumption When Catarrh has existed in the head and upper part of the throat for any length of time—the patient living in a die- trict where people are subject to catarrhal affections—and the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windp!ipe and into the Bronchial Tubes, which tubes con- vey the air into different parts of the lungs. The tubes become affected from the swe'l- ing and the mucus arising from the ca- tarrh, and in some instances become plugged up so that the a'r cannot get in as easily as it should. Shortness of breath follows, and the patient breathes with la- bor and difficulty. In other cases there is a sound of wheezing inside the chest. At this stage of the disease the breathing 1s usually more rapid than when in health, The patient has hot flushes over the body. In some cases small masses of cheesy sub- L. W.

In other cases, particles of a hard, 6halky na- ture are spit up. The rising of chalky or cheesy lumps indicates serious mischief at work in the lungs. A weak stomach and a dislike for food, which seems to have lost its taste, causes the patient to think he has a disease of the stomach instead of the lungs. With this diarrhoea usually oc- curs. and there is some disturbance of the kidneys. In Bronchial Catarrh the voice becomes weak, husky and hoarse. There is a burn.ng pain in the throat, with difficulty in swallowing. Sometimes there are fits of coughing, induced by the tough mucus, so violent as to cause vomiting. Later on tne mucus that is raised is found to contain small particles of yellow matter, which in- dicates that the small tubes in the lungs are now affected. With this there are of- ten streaks of blood mixed with the mucus, Under the treatment of Doctors Cope:and and Thompson,Bronchial disease soon gives way, it begins to grow less and less. All particles of decay and the discharge are removed. There is less cause for the cough, which soon ceases entirely because the irri- tation which caused it has ceased. The system becomes strong as the disease is re- moved, the fever grows less and less, the soreness in the chest d.sappears and vigor- ous health and strength return to the pa- tient who seemed doomed to die of con- sumption.

BATTERY, A AT BARRACKS, All the Artillerymen May Pass Thanksgiving Day at Home. The physical examination of the members of Battery A began Tuesday at the camp in Jeffereon Barracks.
