In financial circles Saturday morning there was a persistent rumor that the lines recently acquired by Messrs. Spencer and Orthwéin of the Southern Elettric Street Railway Co. had aga‘n changed hands. It was tuld about :+the brokers’ offices and came over the private wires in the shape of queries, The form which most of the rumors took was that the lines 6f the Hamilton syndi- cate, together with the Southern Electric Road, had been purchased oy the New York firm of Brown Bros., presumably rep- resenting the Elkins and Widener synd:- cate, who were said to be behind the recent purchase of the Lindell and Missouri iines. President C. H. Spencer of the Southern Electric, who is also half owner of the Hamilten lines, said in reference to the ru- mor: “IT do not care to d'ecuss it at this time except to say that | have not received the money.’’ It was suggested that this might be re- garded by some as a confirmation. Mr. Spencer replied: “Well, I can’t help that. All I can say is that I have not received the money. “My lines have not been sold up to date.’ THE WEATHER UP TO DATE.

Mas. HE SMOTHERED THE FLAMES. WONDERFUL INTELLIGENCE AND COURAGE SHOWN BY AN APE. When He Saw the Carpet Burning He Broke Out of His Cage and Smoth- ered the Fire With Wool- en Cloths. Mrs. Peter Minetti of Belleville has an ape which deserves a job on the fire de- partment. It extinguished a fire at the Min- etti residence without assistance, and un- doubtedly saved the place from destruction. Mr. and Mrs. Minetti live near the old Louisville & Nashville depot. The ape was formerly owned by Milosh Hilgard, now First Lieutenant of Company D. While it was owned by Mr. Hilgard it achieved lo- ape watched her intently from his cage and when the fire was all out he showed his pleasure by grimaces. Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Minetti had occasion to go up town. To guard against the ape indulging its destructive bent while they were gone, Mrs. Minetti tied him with a string to the center of the cage and closed the cage door. When Mr. and Mrs. Minetti returned late in the afternoon the simian met them at the door, chattering excitedly. Mrs. Mit:etti scolded him and shook her finger at him. He cowered and looked re- . Minetti remarked that there was a smell as of something burning. She hastened into the next room anda cry of consterna- tion escaped her. : The carpet and floor for a distance of eeveral feet around the stove had been burned. The room was still filled with smoke. The ape followed them into the room and moved about uneasily, chattering in a distressed fashion. “You rascal, you did this,”’ cried Mrs. Minetti. supposing the brute had been play- ine with matches. The ape, seeming to understand that he was accused, squealed a protest. The windows were opened and a closer in- vest'gation made. On the floor were a loc of woolen cloths, slightly scorched, which had been hanging in the kitchen. They were the same ones which had been used before to extinguish the fire. The way they were ecorched and crumpled showed that they had been used again for the same purpose. The ane watched Mrs. Minett! eagerly as she made these discoveries. As she paused and looked at him he raised one of his paws. Mrs. Minnett) caught him up and examined his paws. They were severely burned. Mrs. Minetti was eatisfied that when the fire started the ane broke out of the cage, went to the kitchen, got the cloths and smothered out the flames. She declares she could not be tempted to sell him. REWARD FOR HELEN GOULD. Senator Gray Wants Congress to Give Her a Medal.

When Mr. Hilgard went away to war he sold the ape to Mrs. Minetti. It was us- ually kept in a cage but occasionally it was permitted to run about the house. In the room in which the cage was kept was a stove from which live coals some- times fell to the floor. Once the carpet and woodwork caught on fire.

Otis Cables That Conditions Have Much Improved, WASITINGTON, Jan. 14.—The War De- partment offic!als were very much encour- aged to-day upon the receipt of news from 4Gen. Otis at Manila that indicated a dis- tinct improvement in the situation there. The general's dispatch completely negatives the absurd story from Madrid that the American troops at Manila have mutineed and refuse to proceed to Lloilo, necessitating the withdrawal of Gen. Miller’s force from that port. Gen. Otis is master wherever he has planted his foot and undoubtedly is able to carry out any policy as to the treatment of the natives the admin’‘etration is likely to indicate. There are indications that en- courage the officials here to believe that the conciliatory policy toward,the natives ihat was recently adopted will succeed, al- thoug‘h ‘'t cannot be expected that the Fill- pinos are to be convinced at once of the absolute faith in which Gen, Otis is acting toward them.

POLICE HOLD HIM FOR LARCENY STAMBOULOFF OF BULGARIA PLANNED TO CROWN HIM. But With All His Accomplishments He Couldn’t Be Honest and So He Came to the Us- ual End. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 14—A man who might have been King of Bulgaria is under ar- rest in the prison ward in Bellevue Hosp}j- tal. He is Nicolas Erasme de Saven, “Count de Toulouse-Lautrec.” The police are hold- ing him for grand larceny. Saven was arrested on complaint of W. W. Caldwell, of the Pan-American Express Co. It is charged that he tried to swindle the company out of $2000. Nov. 28 Saven went to the express com- panies here seeking to send a package said to contan $2000 worth of jewels to Lillalo, Cuba. He refused to open the package and the express companies declined to do busi- ness. In Brooklyn he fared better and got a receipt from the Adams Express Co. It transferred the package to the Pan-Ameri- can Co., which forwarded it to Lilialo. Pedro Mora, the Cuban agent, opened the package for the Spanish Custom House of- cials. It contained a dirty shirt, a package of newspapers and a piece of wood. Saven is one of the most remarkable ad. venturers of modern tmes. Stambouloff was deceived by him. He was considered seriously for the throne of Bulgaria. Mad- elaine, his companion, was his co-con- spirator in this attempt. In his memories Stambouloff, the Bulgarian patriot, writes of Saven, closing: “Why didn’t Saven and the woman who was his accomplice become masters of ‘the universe?’ ‘ The “‘count”’ is a Lothario. Of his adven- tures in love he has. said: “Women have toved me; they have fol- lowed me to the ends of the earth. My love affairs would fill volumes.” He received a medal for bravery at Plev- na and was wounded twice. At the Russian Consulate it was learned that Saven is the son of a French Countess and a cuntractor. He was a member of the Czar’s horse guards. His wealth he wasted and then began a career of crime. He deceived Bleichroder, a Berlin banker; was sentenced to jail and escaped on the way to prison. Then he returned to Rus- sia. He sold a house which did not be- long to him. For this he was sent to Si- beria for life. Again he escaped, went to Paris and Brussels, and finally came to this country. Here he has been arrested for defraud. ing the Hotel Martin out of a board ‘ill for drawing a revolver on a cab driver, an for cheating a woman out of $10. For this last offense he had to pawn his coat to pay his fine. Saven was in Tampa when the army lay there. He wanted Gen. Miles to appoint him as one of his aides. Saven spent several weeks in St. Louis about two years aaeeens figured conspicu- ously in the public prints. He came an- nounced as an agent of the Russ‘an Gov- ernment empowered to make contracts for the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and he was welcomed by local capitalists. any money here the fact was never made public. The local capitalists dropped him after a few days but he remained and con- tinued to get into the newspapers. He had a suite of rooms at the Planters’. and at first kent a stack of gold coin on hia wri'it- ing table. The longer he stayed the small- er the stack of gold became, and finally It disappeared. Saven figured in a scandal at a hotel in the West End, that ultimately caused a di- vorce suit. From here he went to Chicago. He got talked about there by trying to recover money he claimed to have lost in a panel house, THREAT WRITTEN IN BLOOD. Muncie Whitecaps Tell a Farmer to Leave the Country. MUNCIE, Ind..

He has been identified with one of the great me- diums of progress in St. Louis since its inception, and men who have been look- ing the matter up find that he is the old- est living pioneer of his craft.

American Soldiers Were Fed on ‘“Embalmed Beef’? the People of the Country Havea Right If to Know It, WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The resolution of Mr. Allen for the appointment of a com- mittee of five Senators to investigate the conduct of the late war was laid before the Senate and Mr. Allen took the floor. ' Mr. Allen said he had no desire to erfbar- rass the President, but so many complaints had béen made by the press and ind'vid- uals of the conduct of the war that he thought it time for a rigid and imparZal investigation of the war to be made. He had, he said, no confidence in the ‘Alger Reuef Commission” which was now con- ducting an .nvestigation of the war. He criticized the sending of troops to Chicka- magga where they were faced by sickness and death. He intimated that the troops of the West were sént to Chickamauga for the benefit of transportation companies. He declared that there had been gross irregularities in the handling of the com- missary anid other supplies. He said it had been charged that the supplies were in many cases unfit for use and he was -sat- istied the charges were true. If the troops had been furnished “embalmed beef’ the peony and the world had a right to know Interrupting Mr. Allen, “Mr. Spooner (Wis,) criticised him for his anticipation of an unfair and partial report from the com- mission and stiggested that he might bet- ter wait until the report was presented be- fore he attacked it.

Mr, Hale requested that the reesolution be laid before the Serfate and read. Mr. Hale then offered a rerzolution ex- / pressive of the deep sensibilits#* with which , the Senate had learned of the death of Representative Dingley, and directed the appointment of a committee of Senators to accompany the remains to Maine. Mr. Hale ato delived a feeling culogy of Mr. Dingley, closing with a motion that the Senate adjourn. FUNERAL MONDAY Letter of Condolence From the Presi- dent to Mrs. Dingley.

It will be held at 12 o’clock noon on Monday. Among the letters of condolence was one from President McKinley. It was as fol- lows: “Dear Mrs. Dingley: I have this moment learned of the death of your distinguished husband and write to express the profound | sorrow which both Mrs. McKinley and my- self feel for you in Your great affliction.’ We mourn with you in this overwhelm- ing loss which will be deeply felt by the whole country. From my long and inti- mate association with him, it comes to me as a personal bereavement. A great con- ,sOlation in this sad hour is a recollection of Mr. Dingley’s exalted character: his do- mestic virtues; his quiet, useful, distin- guished life, and his long-continued and faithful service in behalf of his fellow-citi- zens, Who wil) always cherish his memory a 3a of a great statesman and true pa- riot.

Another committee will be sent to Spring- field to await upon the Governor and if possible induce him to continue soldiers here. Adjutant-General Reese to-day gave no- tice to Sheriff Downey and Lieut.Col. Wells, in charge. that there is no doubt as soon as Gov Tanner returns an order will be ‘ssued for immediate recall of all soldiers who have formed post here since Sept. 30, and to be prepared to return home. In his communication Gen. Reese says: “The Governor is of the opinion that the time has arrived for local authorities to assume the responsibility of preserv'ng order, and although the military has been stationed at Pana for almost four months at heavy expense to the State, the operators are no nearer a settlement with their former em- ploys than when the militia was first sent there. The State cannot, under the law. »0st at Pana the year round, and no one should expect such un- | werrested action by the Executive.”’ } NEW ROAD FOR BLOOMINGTON. a nee An Electric Line Is Projected From That City to Monticello.

About 10 o'clock {n the morning John set out to purchase some pigeons. He had gone ecarcely a block when he saw two boys approaching whom he knew, but for reasons best known to his mother, did not associate with. Frank Lee of Glasgow avenue and Wil- liam Stocksie of 2833 Easton avenue were juveniles who read dime novele, bought cheap pistols. terrorized the other small boys of the neighborhood and were looked upon with the direst of apprehension by anxious mothers These two youngsters saw John and gave chase. Just at the corner of an alley on Kaston avenue they caught him. “Throw up your hands,” they demanded. “John was much alarmed, and began to cry. “Do what we tell you,’ said one of the boys, and he struck John over the head with a piece of iron railing. The little boy howled lustily, but his cap- tors knocked him down, took 25 cents from his pockets, and further maltreated him, after genuine highwayman fashion.

Pullman declares emphatically regarding the reported separation of himself and wife that there is no foundation whatever for the report, and says it must have originat- ed from one of his servants whom he re- cently diecharged. He says when he came through Chicago from Long Branch on the way to this city he did not visit his father- in-law or any of his wife's relatives, and that this circumstance may have’ given color to the report. The reason he did not visit his wife s relatives in Chicago, he explained, Was because he was too sick, and thought it better to come directly to this city and take the course of baths. which hod always benefited him. He has been married but five months, but he says that during that time he has never had the slightest unpleasantness with his wife. and that he is expecting her here within the next week or 10 days, and, if ehe comes, she will remain until he is ready to leave and will then return home with him.

Newman, pastor of the fret Congregat.onal Church, which Mr. Dingley Was ucustomed to attend white residing in Wash ogcton. P Mr. Dingiey’s illness dated from Der, 29 Nas*, and was diagnosed by his physictan as grip. The following. Saturday pneumonia developed in the ii ft lung, complicated with irregularity of the heart. Skillful v\ ih] of tiie afiernoor services pres nee jezve over day there -were signs that the lung wa6é beginning to clear. The next day, however, ithe d.sease took an alarming turn, and the ‘two sons in Michigan were telegraphed for. For the last week the Congressman hov- ered between life and death, and all efforts of the phys cians at last proved unavailing. Mr. Dingiey was unconscious during yes- tercday, ard d*atn came quietly without consciousness being regained. There present at the time Mrs. Dingley, ‘Edith Dingley, Messrs. FE. N. and A. iDingley, sons of the deceased; James C. lHiove, an intimate friend of the family; Dr. Deale, one of the physicians who has been attending bim throughott hie illness, and the two nurses, Nelson Dingeley, Jr., Governor of Maine, W874-'75, and member of Congress from the ‘Second Congressional District of Maine since 1881, was born tn Durham, Me., in his Grandfather Lambert's house on the banks of the Androscoggin River, Feb. 15, 1832, son of Nelson and Jane (Lambert) Dingley. The year following his birth his Parents moved to Parkman, Piscataquis County. Here they lived on a farm time and then took charge of the tavern with which a store was connected, In 1838 the family moved to Unity, Waldo County, and thence, 1854, to Auburn and Androscoggin County. At 17 he teught a winter school in the town of China, 14 miles from-home, and he (on- tined to teach Winters while fitting’ for college. In 1800, at the age of 18, he en- tered Waterville, Me., Academy, of which the well known Prof. J. H. Hanson was principal, and there completed his prepara- tion for college. Entering Waterville Col- lege (now Colby University), in 1851, he remained there a year and a half and then became a student at Dartmouth College, from which he was graduated in 1855 with high rank as a scholar, debator and writer. Atter leaving college Mr. Dingley studied law in 1855-6 with Merrill & Fessenden in Auburn, to which city his parents had removed while he was in college, and in the latter year was admitted to the bar. Instead of entering upon the practice of law he decided to become a journalist, for which profession he always manifested a decided taste. In September, 1856, ne purchased the Lewiston Journal, of which he had been-practically the editor while studying law, and to which, in 1861, he added a daily edition. The paper rapidity increased in circulation and influence under his managemeni. His first vote was cast in 1854 for Hon. Anson FP.

There are six separate dol. jar, half dollar, quarter, dime, nickel or penny falls into a chamber constructed for it, and an attached ‘me shows the amount in each cell and the total amount in the box immediately after the dump fs made.

A man who draws money from railroads, waterworks, electric lights, street railways, coal mines, iron mines, gold mines and silver mines, and who owns an entire town, will never be quite happy while anything is left that he has not obtained. But what a@ responsibility goes with fortunes so large! i DEPENDS ©N THE MONEYED MEN. Ex-Gov. Francis, Chairman of the World’s Fair Executive Committee, stated thé case clearly and conclusively when he said that “‘the success of the fair depends on the moneyed men” of St. Louis. “The moneyed men, the men of financial power,” said the ex-Governor, “will undoubtedly come to the front and assure a World's Fair in St. Louis.” ) Either openly or tacitly a great many of St. Louis’ moneyed men have shown their approval of the proposed World’s Fair. the acquisition of which is to be celebrated, have met in con-, vention here; St. Louis and Missouri have joined them in de- ciding that a great fair shal) be held, and nothing remains to be done but to raise the money and take measures for holding the fair. Under these circumstances St. Louis cannot draw back. To confess that she cannot raise $5,000,000 on a taxable valuation of nearly $400,000,000 would bea serious blow at her reputation asthe solid city of the Middle West. But St. Louis cannot hold the fair unless her moneyed men come forward and help to finance it. The Post-Dispatch beNeves that they will not fail to do this. dt believes that they are sufficiently public spirited and far- seeing to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to advance the interests of their city and trade territory. In doing so, they will have the confidence born of the knowl- edge that St. Louis has the experience of Chicago and Omaha to guide her in financing World’s Fairs. By taking advantage of that experience and avoiding the mistakes made by those cities, the St. Louis World’s Fair cannot fail to be a splendid financial success. oe Gen. Shafter’s slaughter of Filipinos would be applauded all over Spain. — MISSOURI'S CONVICT LABOR. From a superficial point of view, is is of course gratifying to learn from the Warden’s report that the State Penitentiary has made $50,247.09 over operating expenses during 1898. But when the vicidbusness of the system tunder which these results have been secured is remembered, the citizen is not 60 self-satisfied. The workingmen of the State have for a long time pro- tested against the convitt labor system. They ask why a small army of disreputable characters should be used, in conjunction with machinery, to produce articles for the mar- kets, to be sold in competition with the products of free labor. They desire to know why convict labor, by supplying a share of the market requirements, should make it difficult, perhaps in some cases impossible, for law-abiding workers to sell their labor. ” . A bill has been introduced in the State Legislature with the object of removing these unsatisfactory conditions. It should receive earnest consideration. -The labor of the con- victs could be used to supply the needs of the State institu- tions and for other good purposes, without competition with honest labor. - ——_________-$--@ Gen. Eagan has proved himself so great a fool on the witness stand that it is incredible he should be anything but a fool in any capacity. By his unbridled and vulgar abuse of Gen. Miles, unaccompanied by any evidence of the falsity of Miles’ Statements, he has injured himself and his case far more than he has injured Miles. There is no place in the army for men of the Eagan stripe. This Administration and the army owe it to themselves to get rid of Eagan, regardless of the facts in the beef scandal. Eagan’s conduct is in itself a gross scandal. oo While English manufacturers are complaining that the English markets are burdened with products “made in Ger- many,’ the German manufacturers are making vain efforts to compete with American skill and enterprise.

The moment a girl relaxes her ideals in regard to these matters she endangers her reputation. It is useless for her to talk about the cruelty of the world, which will not allow a woman to enjoy a platonic friendship. The world, no doubt, is cruel and suspicious often, but platonic friend- ships are rare game, and the young wo- man who goes seeking them through mar- ital forests is frequently accused of poach- ing. The man who is happily married and is a good husband does not go about seeking the society of professional young women. The married man who wants to dine and drive with a single woman, no matter what his excuse may be, is the one she needs to be on her guard against. He is always selfish in his motives. Were he not he would not subject her to the mis- construetion which such actiong invariably give rise to. Defend the stage as we will, we all know that it is surrounded by temptations to a Draw the line sharply between married and single men, certain freedom and license of thought and action not found in other vocations. Because of this fact any self-respecting girl who chooses the career of an actress ought to avoid by every possible means in her power any suggestion of indifference to the rules of discreet conduct. The very first rule, which even common sense should dictate, is to keep married men away from the ranks of her admirers. ‘When you pass through a melon patch do not stoop to tie your shoe, and in walk- ~ — —— f ¥ \\ « iW ois WV) Absolutely refuse any married man. the slightest attention from ing through an-apple orchard do not lift your hat.” ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

The plan to make the centennial anni- versary of the Louisiana purchase the oc- casion of a great world’s exposition at St. Louis is .very likely to materialize. The States now comprised in the Louiast- ana purchase possess 71 Congressmen and 80 Senators, and can, therefore, exert a huge influence on legislation. The idea ad- vanced is to spend at least $15,000.000 in getting up a celebration that shoul® be a world-beater in all senses of the word. Even the past glories of the Columbian Exposition should be paled in the mag- nificence of this Mississippi Valley dem- onstration. The nation is to be asked to appropriate $5,000,000 toward the enterprise; the people of St. Louis will raise a like sum by popular subscription, and the State of Missouri and the municipality of St. Louis will go and do likewise. This will make the comfortable total of $15,- upon the enterprise on the most ambi! scale.

Replying to the letter of Citizen regarding the World’s Fair in St. Louis. He surely has not the welfare of the fair at heart when he suggests the River Front as a fit place to hold it. The fair would be a fail- ure indeed before ever a building was put up in that location. The entire River Front of St. Louis is the most derelict and filthy place of any city of the world, It is not necessary to have the fair on any water front. We don’t exhibit the water, and the less strangers see of the river water at St. Louis the better. Even if the property on the river was got as a present it would be ridiculoug to locate there; show our visitors the best part of the city and don't give them stomach trouble by inhaling the odors of the slums PRACTICAL. St. Louis, Dives in Vacant Stores. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is strange that the police have not noticed the several dives or side shows that are running under the names of beauty shows, museums, snake shows, etc., that are nothing else but dives and the parties running them thieves of the worst sort, We have as yet heard of no steps being taken to run them out. Admission to some of them is free—but to get out ‘tis 25 or 0 cents. and young men sometimes get into trouble by refusing to pay. St. Louis. OBSERVER. Our Duty to the Filipinos. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The claim is persistently made that one of the principal reasons why we ehould re- tain possession of the Philippines regarda- less of what the wishes of the natives may be is that it is our duty to give them the benefits of Christian civilization. Philip Il. of Spain sent the Duke of Alva to the Netherlands to ive the Dutch “Christian Civikzation.” very one knows the result of the bloody Alva’s mission in the Netherlands. I hope the heroism of the Dutch some 300 years ago will inspire the Filipinos of the present day. In yesterday's Post-Dispatch there is an extract from a speech made by Gen.

New “‘Lovers’ Lane’’ Under the Eyes of Thousands Is Developed in the Capital. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—President Mce- Kinley is always accessible—that !s to say, he is accessible to people who have busi- ness with him. The Executive Mansiou is thrown open to visitors at 9 o’clock, and remains open until 2 p. m. The usual sightseers, of course, are not permitted to see the President unless he happens to be a personal friend or has bus- iness of some importance with the Chief Executive. Before seeing the President it is necessary for the unknown to go through the formality of making the acquaintance of either Secretary Porter or Assistant Sec- retary Cortelyou, usually the latter. Door- keeper Loeffler, who is a captain and store- keeper in the regular army, always sits on guard and protects the President from the intrusion of the morbid people. Senators and Representatives, of course, have the right of way during business hours. Whenever the President is at leis- ure the lawmakers are always admitted, and it matters not whether they are Demo- crats or Republicans. There are a few Senators and Representatives, however, who are always on the main track, and nothing short of a private conversation with Cabinet officers can throw them on the sidetrack. Hay Is Becoming Exclusive. Secretary of State Hay, who lives lives In a handsome residence at the corner of Six- teenth and I streets, overlooking Lafay- ette Square, and within a stone’s throw of the Executive Mansion, is a most exclusive person. Unlike other members of the Cabinet he does not see callers after nightfall. For some time after his return from London he could be seen at nearly every hour of the night, and like Chauncey M. Depew he has been known to get up in his pajamas after the midnight hour to see newspaper men. This, however, is a custom of the past. The fact that he was “on tap” at all hours of the night soon became known on Ncecws- paper Row, and whenever any penny-a-liner had occasion to see him on any important news he was always roused from his slum- ers. The Secretary soon found that he could not be awakened at all hours, and he has given h‘s butler instructions to admit none other than Cabinet Officers, Senators, Rep- resentatives and personal friends after he comes from the State Department. New Sort of “Lovers’ Lane.” The short avenue lying between the White House and the State, War and Navy De- partment building, known as Executive place, has gained the sobriquet of ‘‘Lovers’ Lane’ from a curious feature of Washing- ton social life. The system of chaperoning all young wo- men is rapidly gaining vogue here. When a young woman becomes engaged without the fact being formally announced she and her betrothed walk with a chaperone, usu- ally to the big gates bearing the imprint “U.

Mrs. Lottie Hughes Was Haunted by Her Husband’s Specter. ~~ ee ee MASON CITY, Io., Jan. 14.—The testi- mony of the father of Edward Hughes in the trial of the latter’s wife for murder tended to refute the idea that Hughes committed suicide and showed that at all times the father’s wealth was at the son's disposal. Mr. Hughes said that when he had the body of his son exhumed he had no thought of fastening the crime upon his daughter- in-law. He testified that he raised the body to satisfy himself and his wife that their son had died of poison. Later devel- opments led him to swear out the warrant against the defendant. Three weeks after his son’s death he told the defendant to leave his home. He said he considered the relations she maintained with Jesse Goule improper. He substantiated the evidence of his wife in the fact that the second night after Edward's death defendant came to their bed three times telling them that “Ed kept appearing to her.” The mistress of the house or the master of the store, when In need of a domestic or salesman or any kind of male or female help, skilled or otherwise, can pick the best within a few hours by advertising in P.-D. wants.

(CITY SURVEYOR PUMMELED SAM TREGONING, AN EX-SALVA- TION ARMY OFFICER. TREGONING HAD A LETTER. gar. Joyce Didn’t Care How Many Let- ters He Had and Forthwith Threw the Man Into the Hall. An impressive encounter between 4 large man and a small man created excitement emong the occupants of the Green bulid- ‘ing, at Eighth and Chestnut streets, Sat- ‘wrday morning. The large man was City Surveyor Jonn Joyce. The small man was Sam Tregoning, an ex-officer in the Salvation Army. Shortly after Tregoning entered Joyce's office there w2s a mighty commotion, such as might have been made by a Colossus tossing huge dumbbells about. When the clerks rushed into Mr, Joyce’s private office they found the small man pressed against the wall by Mr. Joyce, who appeared to be trying to break him into ' pleces. With difficulty Mr. Joyce was induced to j abate his violence, but he hustled the littie ‘man into the outer office, through the ‘railing gate and flung him out-into the hall, Tregoning’s hat was left in the private office. He wanted to go back for it, but iMr. Joyce started toward him so flercely when he opened the door that he fied. He waited around the corridors until he eaw Mr. Joyce leave the office, and he then ‘went to the door and one of the clerks handed him his hat. Tregoning boards at the Home Hotel, 828 iNorth Sixth street. His wife lives at 2620 ‘Clara avenue. He lived there with her un- til a month ago. They disagreed and sep- arated then, he says, but claims he has been supporting her and going out to see her occasionally. The house is owned by Mr. Joyce. *T was out there yesterday,’ he said, “and found a Jetter lying on the dresser directed to J. Joyce. It was signed by my wife’s initials, H. M. T. It referred to a conversation which my wife seemed to have had with Mr. Joyce about ejecting me from the house. “IT went to Mr. Joyce's office and asked him why he and my wife had their heads together trying to have me ejected from the house. He called me a liar and po at me, struck me and kicked r@® and threw me out of the office. I would have struck back in the hall, but he called out ‘bring me a poker,’ and I left,’’ said he had given the letter to regonin ut would not tell the lawyer's a lawyer, name. Mr. Joyce laughed when he was asked to explain the encounter, “It was the coolest thing I ever saw,” he said. “This man and his wife rented a house from me on Clara avenue. The woman who has charge of the row told me the couple quarreled and made a commotion. tI told her to order them oui unless they behaved. The woman came to me and wanted to rent ‘another house. She said she would keep her hus- band away. I told her she could have the ‘house. That was all the conversation I ever had with either of them. “This morning Tregoning came in here and sat down. ‘Mr. Joyce,’ he said, ‘I hav? a letter inculpating vou,’ and made a proposition by which I might regain pos- session of it. “T gald, ‘I write no letters detters. What do you mean? “*You and my wife are plotting against me.’ ‘IT said, ‘You are a liar,’ and went for him. The coolness of the insult enraged me. If T had had something in my hand I might have killed him.” SEARCH FOR WILLIAM DEES.

Apel was divorced from her husband, Herman M. Apel, by Judge Fer- riss Saturday, and her maiden name, Bru- ner, Was restored to her. Apel is connected with a Mississippi River steamboat line. Mrs. Apel is the daughter of Capt. Edward Bruner, an old river man. The couple surprised their relatives and friends by eloping in 1898. Mrs. Apel and her witnesses testified that Apel began to drink heavily after his mar- riage and made his home a very disagree- able place. Mrs. Apel said that on one occasion when her husband was drunk, he threatened to shoot her, but that she prevented him by hiding his pistol. This so angered him, she declared, that he assaulted her with a razor. She claims that in trying to escape from his wrath she fell down a flight of stairs and received severe injuries. WANTS HIS FULL CREDITS. George W. Yergains Claims to Have Paid Too Much Interest. On the application of George W. Yer- gains, Judge Spencer istued a temporary injunction Saturday against Julius Yroschke, J. O. Ingalls, William Bruce and Leo Fink, restraining them from selling, under a deed of trust, certain lots ,that belong to the plaintiff. Yergains says that in 1891, he gave a deed of trust to the defendants on the property in question for $2700. He claims that he has paid $425 more than the interest on the mortgage, and that that sum should be used in reducing the principal of the debt. He charges, however, that the defendants have failed to give him credit for it. He asks for an accounting by the court and an injunction prohibiting the sale of tne property until the amouni of the debt ,can be definitely ascertained. TO CLEAN THE COURTHOUSE.

REVISING MINE LAWS. Illinois Legislature Will Be Asked to Make Several Changes. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 14—Secretary David Ross of the State Board of Labor Statistics has a bill to revise the mine in- spection laws of the State. In enforcing dhe law, it has been found that the present Statutes are in many instances indefinite and obscure, and it is the purpose of t new bill to simplify and make plain all 6 the provisions of the existing law. A few minor changes will also be made. By agrcerent of all the parties interested, the provision of the statutes requiring that mine owners pay an inspection fee whene ever an inspection is made, will be abol- ished. There has been trouble over this law ever since It was passed; and the ques- tion is now-in the courte. Many of the mine owners have refused to pay the fee, on the provné that the law is unconstitutional, ane $25,000 is now tied up, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court hy eb the liability of the operators, rovision will be made for the division of the State into new mining districts, the division to be made by the State Board of Labor Statistics. The present division ts very unsatisfactory, for the reason th some of the inspectors have more wor than they can properly attend to, while otheis have very Httle to do. MISSING ORPHAN FOUND.
