NEEDS MORE MEN Some Officers Think 10,000 Reinforcements Necessary. HIS LINE IS MUCH TOO THIN. RAINY SEASON IS BEGINNING AND MAY HAMPER ADVANCE. "When the Steady Rains Come, It Is Said Our Soldiers Will Have to Leave Their Lines and Be Placed in Permanent Barracks. HONG KONG, March ®.-—-A correspondent of the Associated Presse at Manila forwards the following letter, which evidently es- caped the eye of the censor. It gives a radically different view of conditions con- fronting the American commander from that which is permitted to come over the cable from Manila. The communication fol- lows: An army has seldom operated under harder conditions than have been encoun- tered by the American Flying Brigade. The country the American troops have tra- versed is intersected with lagoons, narrow and unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick that the enemy cannot be seen a hundred feet distant. During the charge the Ameri- cans were ignorant as to whether they were attacking a hundred @r thousands of rebels, which amazes the foreign observere. The Filipinos were unexpectedly fierce at Cain- ta. Had it not been for the fact that the American line was -thin the enfilading fire would have slaughtered many of our men. One of the prisoners captured by the Americans says the Filipino leaders boast that they can continue such a war for years, depending on the American forces being Weakened daily by ® men killed, wounded or invalided. Some of the high officials here think that 10,000 reinforcements are needed, as the troops now on this island are nardly more than required to maintain a line around Manila and police the city. “Comsiderable rain has fallen already, and it seems that the season for rains is beginning prematurely. It is possible that when the steady rains begin our troops will have to be withdrawn to permanent barracks, which may enable the rebels to return to their old positions. “The Americans have refrained from de- Stroy! the buildings in . the country ewept by Gen. Wheaton’s troops. A sen- try has been stationed before every store at Pasig, but the soldiers are bringing in loads of loot from dwelling houses."”” °*' PUTS TRAITORS.TO DEATH. Aguinaldo Orders the Execution of His Weak-Kneed Generals. MANILA, March 2, 8:40 p. m.—Aguinaldo fs taking extrenie measures with those of his important followers who give signs of weakening. Twelve adherents of the plan of independence, residents of Manila, have been condemned to death because they wrote advising surrender and all loyal Fii- ipinos have been called upon to perform the national service of deepatching them. On Friday last Gen. Lagarda visited Ma- lolos for the purpose of advising Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with the insurgent leader and attempted to convince him of the folly of his persistence in the face of over- whelming odds. Aguinaldo was furious at the advice and ordered Gen. Lagarda to be executed immediately. The unfortunate General was promptly decapitated, In the fighting Sunday the Americans lost seven killed and 3) wounded. The rebel! loss is estimated at 200. Among the dead are eeveral who were previously reported as wounded. Among those who fell are: Twenty-second Regiment: Capt. P. Jones, Company E; Privates Young, Arenson and Yunt, of Company D; Rice, Pasmir, White, Ellis, Morgan, Schunder, Coumpholz and Porte, Company E; Eda- wards, Company K; Ronfer, Company G; and Corporals Comeinerge and Nelson, Company ‘ i Washington Volunteers: Privates Wess and Bartiett and Corporals Waters, Com- ny D, and Corporal Dricklin, Company Oregon Volunteers: Private Brown, Com- pany M.

The work of the ambulances was especially worthy of mention, FS punish the rebels for the attack on Tousig, Gen. Wheaton's brigade advanced upon their position in the following order: The Sixth Artillery, holding the extreme right; the Oregon Volunteers heading the center; the Washington Regiment keeping to the edge of the lake. and the Twenty- second Regulars occupying the right of the line, which swept the whole country along the lake in a southeasterly direction, toward Gen. Ovenshine’s position. The line thus extended over two miles of country, rough and covered with thick jun- gie, advanced 11 miles. The enemy fied, the last of them being geen about 3:30 this afternoon. At scarcely any time did the Americans get within 12% yards of them. The —i has twice as many men on their firing line as they have arms, and the fact that so few arms are captured by the Americans. cause the guns of the wounded Filipinos and many of those who gurrender are spirited away. -—_- PP -- — HOLD LAGUNA LAKE.

MYSTERY 1S NEAR A SOLUTION. a THAT MYSTERIOUS TUBE NOT YET i The Printed Address Was to Have Been Steamed Off Four Days Ago, but This Has Not Been Done —WhyP Two anonymous letters. addressed to Mrs. Florence McVean, 4015 Cook av., were received by Mrs. McVean's sister, Miss Mollie Megraw, Monday morning. The receipt of these letters was expected by the Post-Dispatch at the conclusion, ot the investigation, the results of which were given in the news section of this paper yesterday. The letters were undoubtedly mailed Saturday afternoon. The person who is writing anonymous letters to Mrs. McVean did not fear detec- tion prior to the publication referred ta From the publication in a Monday morn- ing newspaper of the police department's Statement that no arrest would follow if eye witnesses would testify that the person referred to in the Sunday Post-Dispatch threw the acid, this person will probably not fear prosecution and may continue writing anonymous letters.

A part of this ad- dress, including the word “City’’ is plainly visible. Judge Harvey thought this hidden address would probably reveal the identity of the writer of anonymous letters. It was his attention to have the newspaper clip- ng, addressing the tube to Mrs. Mc- fan, steamed off. This, he says, he has not done. clipping c similie Monday, W. P.

He said: , “I have boarded with the family seven vears. They moved to Cook av, last sum- mer. Prior to that they Nved on F’nney av. Mrs. M:Vean and Miss Megraw are devoted to each other. In fact, they are _ the most loving sisters I ever knewy! have never known either to say a harsh wword to the other. They are refined, intelligent and polished ladies. “On the night of this unfortunate occur- rence I left home about .5 o'clock. I am not positive about the time, but that was about it. I know that it was still broad daylight. I attended a lodge meeting and returned to the house about 11 o'clock. The ‘physician and neighbors were there attend- ing to Mrs. McVean’s hurts. She was in the middie room upstairs.

LIBERAL TO THE COLLEGES A Trifle Over $17,285,000 Donated to Institutions in a Little Over a Year. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 20.—A trifle more than $17,285,000 has been donated to Ameri- can collegs since Jan. 1, 1898.

IS THIS THE ASSASSIN’S WIRE? ——_@—_—- Discovery of the Possible Cause of De- struction of the Maine Made in Havana. CINCINNATI, March 2.—A local paper prints a story that the location of the Key- board by which the Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor has been found by Capt. Huston of the volunteer engineers, Who en- terea the service from Cincinnati and who had been assigned to the duty of cleaning out the fortificaticns of Havana. The story is that Huston discovered in the gunroom of the Cuartel de Foerste a wooden box or hut, in which he found a gutta-percha tube containing one large copper wire and several smaller wires. He also found evi- dences of a keyboard having been torn away. Capt. Huston confided his discovery to Mr..Warren J. Lyncg_newly appointed general passenger agen. of the Big Four, who was visiting Havana, and said he was about to trace the wires to prove his theory that the Maine was exploded from that point. The wreck of the vessel can be seen from this gunroom not more than 100 vards «istant. The room itself was in a part of the prison to which access was only allowed to a few officers.

Sister of the Duke of Orleans Will Be the Emperor’s Bride. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1890, by Press Publishing Oompany. LONDON, March 2.—There is no longer any doubt that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria intends to wed Princess Isabeila, a sister of the Duke of Orleans. He is 69 years old, and his bride to be will not be 21 until next May. The engagement will be announced immediately after the 12 months of mourning for Empress Elizabeth has ex- pired. The marriage is purely one for state rea- sons. The couple have not seen each other more than two or three times. A crown prince is needed. Other men who have nearly reached the allotted span of life have been blessed by the birth of anxiously desired children.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 20.—The condition of John Sherman, who is suffer- ing from pneumonia, is not favorable this morning. He is much weaker and the doc- tors are discouraged. The United States cruiser Chicago, which has been detailed to take Mr. Sherman on board and convey him back to the United States, has not yet arrived here, but is ex- pected to reach this port during the after- noon. Dr. Magee of the liner Paris will have charge of the case until the Chicago reaches Old Point Comfort. It may not be possible to transfer Mr. Sherman from the Paris to the Chicago until the liner reaches Santiago de Cuba. Mr. Sherman understands that his strength is declining and he is desirous of getting home. SENATOR VEST'S TRIBUTE. The Inscription on the Tomb of His “Devoted Nurse and Friend.” FRANKFORT, Ky., March 20.—The fol- lowing interesting bit of history of the early life of Senator George G. Vest of Missouri appeared to-day in the Frankfort Round- about: Over on the east side of the cemetery, in this city, in the strip allotted to the graves of colored pegple, stands a plain, modest slab. which bears the following inscrip- wTeRP TORI OSS PRES EASE eee eee eee ‘"*To the Memory of MARIA FENWICK, My Devoted Nurse and_ Friend, This is Erected By G. G. Vest.” The slab is leaning and beginning to covered with lichens, while the grave the head of which it is planted is sunken, but it tella the story of a _ true-hearted gentleman, who, having won fame and for- tune in his Western home, did not forget the devotion of that faithful old heart which overflowed with sympathy when his childish sorrows were poured into her will- ing ears, and when the hand which guided the tottering steps of his infancy was stilled in death he paid this small tribute to her memory. The man who did this has few equals in a rough and tumble debate or as an eloquent orator. In honoring the memory of his old black mammy George Graham Vest, United States Senator from Missouri—born and reared in this city—but honored himself. WEATHER IN THE SOUTHWEST.

Henry Cables That the Talk of a Revolt Has No Foundation in Fact. WASHINGTON, March 2.—The follow- ing dispatch was made public by the Waf Department to-day: San Juan de Porto Rico, March 20.—Adju- tant-General, Washington—Newspapers re- ports of conditions here and reported in- terviews with me stating chances of upris- ing, are absolutely false. There is a great deal of idle childish talk on the part of the ignorant, but as to any resistence against law and order of any kind by the masses is absurd. There has always been political agitation here, less now than ever before. Truth should be known and the island should not be injured by false statements. “HENRY.” VIGILANTES ON THE TRAIL.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. }-“ JEFFERSON CITY, March 2—Few of his colleagues know that Representative Hamilton of Daviess County was the chief prosecutor of Frank James when fie was tried for murder at Gallat.n. under indictment for the murder of two men, Conductor Westfall of the train held up, and a stone-cutter. ‘The stone-cutter lived in lowa, but was working near Win- ston, Mo., where the train was held up. He Was sitting on the step of the platform of a car, and when he heard shooting looked through the window. He was shot and killed. After James dramatically surren- dered to Gov. Crittenden he was taken to Gallatin for trial for the murder of the #tone-cutter. The trial occurred in 1881. Mr. Hamilton was Prosecuting Attorney of Daviess County and as such took a lead- ing part in the prosecution. Frank R. O'Neill of St. Louis, who scored such a brilliant ‘“‘beat’’ in getting an in- terview with James before he surrendered, ami who had much to do with the surren- der, will remember Mr. Hamilton well. In fact, Mr. Hamilton saved Mr. O'Neill fiom going to jail for contempt of court in con- nection with this case. Mr. O'’Nelll was an .mportant witness in the case, and was asked a question which honorably he could not answer. He was given time to con- sider the consequences with the warning that unless he answered he would be sent to prison. Ajl the attorneys for the prose- cution except Mr. Hamilton were for press- ing the question and sending him to ja‘). Mr. Hamilton advised them not to do go, a they would make a martyr of Mr. O'Neill and would hurt their case more than the answer to the question was worth. His advice was heeded and the question was not renewed. Mr. Hamilton is now W years old, but he looks to be about #. He is slender and straight, of singularly grace- ful figure and carriage. He never speaks of his connection with James case unless questioned about it. INVESTIGATORS AT THE CAPITAL All Decline to Discuss the Forthcoming Report to the Senate.

The Claim Is Made That the Standard Oil Company Has Been Slandered by the Statements Made by Ohio’s Attorney-General. NBW YORK, March 20.—Upon the arrival of the interested parties in the Standard O-1 Company hearing at the Hoffman House _ it was decided’ to take no testimony to-day. The following rdtes\ It was agreed to have a hearing in the | case of the State of Ohio against the Buck- | eye Pipe Co., a branch of the Standard Oil | Co., in the office of Mr. Mills as comm’s- | Sloner for the State. Messrs. Filiott and Kline, counsel for the Standard Oil Co., sent a ietter to Attorney- | General Monnett of Ohio to-day demanding | that he make public the name of the man + who offered him a bribe to discontinue h‘'s fight. This ‘s thes ubstanmce of the letter to Attorney-General Monnett: /. “On March 4 George Rice announced to the public press that a bribe of $600,000 —less $100,000 commission—had been offered you to -nduce you to stop or delay proceed- ings against the Standard Oil Co., now pending in the Supreme Court of Ohio. You are report to have denied entire- ly, at Toledo, the Rice story, but by the time you arrived at Columbus, the same day, you concluded that the story was true and accordingly in various newspapers on the morning of the 5th inst. you made a Statement that the Standard Oil Co. through some ‘friend of yours,’ had of- fered you $0,000 to influence your action with respect to cases pending against it and other companies :n the Supreme Court of Ohio. Reputable nesepoase of the State, notably the Cleveland uder, the Toledo Blade and the Ohio State Journal, have called upon you to disclose the name of the ‘friend’, who thus corruptly approached you. “You are reported itn the Cleveland Plain- dealer of the 7th inst. as saying that ‘if you were to give out the name of your friend, half a dozen departments would be after him at once, and it might be they could force or persuade him to keep his mouth shut.’ You do not seem to realize that the reason given by you for refusing to disclose the name of yourfriendis an admission that the oe gone | does not know the name of the party whom you say was commissioned to offer you $400,000, and, therefore, you must have known that the alleged friend made the offer to you without the authority or knowledge of the Standard O/] Co. “In the New YO k World and the 8t. Louis Post-Dispatch of the 9th inst. you are re- ported as saying that you had written the friend who tried to bribe you that ‘you _ would not expose him until public interest ; demanded it.’ “In another intérview in the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune of the 6th inst. you are reported aes-saying that ‘your friend had -agreed to protect you.’ -The arrange- ment’ for protection, therefore, seems to be mutual. , “So far as your statements connect the Standard O}l Ge, avith any attempt to bribe you, they are totally false. You have the names. or claim’to have, not only of the friend who approached you, but also of bth- ers acting with him, because on the l4th inst. you said In the public press that these men were telegraphing you from New ‘ork. “While nothing in your story has directly connected the Standard Oil Co. with the at- tempted bribery, you have desired the pub- lic to assume said connections. We now demand that you give the name or names of the rsons who made such an offer to you claiming to represent the Standard Oil Co. that we may take steps to quiet this last and most vicious of the many false and sensational! stories to which you have given currency.’’ QUICKEST CAMERA EVER MADE “Here Is a Machine That Will Turn Out a Picture in One Six-Hundredth Part of a Second. | Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 20.—What is to be the fastest camera in the world is being con- structed in Chicago for the Smithsonian In- stitute at Washington. The specifica- tions for this splendid instrument require that it shall be capable of mak'‘ng a suc- cesful exposure in one-six-hundredth part of a second, and it is hoped that this speed will be so greatly increased that a good negative may be secured by an exposure of ony a thousandth of a second. This marvelous rapidity in photographing has never been approached save By one camera which is said to have secured a negative by an exposure of one-five-hundredth of a second. A better appreciation of the marvelous alertness of this mechanical eye is to be gained from the statement that it is capa- ble of catching the speeding through midair while the bow- ‘string is still ean | from the recoil of its propulsive action. he snap of its trig- ger when its sights are well aimed for an instant on the body of the fleetest game bird in full flight will imprint on the nega- tive a faithful picture.

CLARK OF AUDRAIN PERSISTENT FOR A STATE FAIR. Adjutant-General Bell Is Pushing in His Effort to Secure an $80,000 Appropriation for the Needs of the M. N. G. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 4.—* great wave of opposition to the traffic in cigarettes and cigarette wrappers is flow- ing in upon the Legislature. It began eaTly in the session and has increased in force until now every morning a score or more of petitions from citizens in all parts of the State are presented to the House and Sen- ate by members. Nearly all of these peti- tions come from the country districts, Several bills have been introduced pro- hibiting the sale or disposal of cigarettes or cigarette vig ogee but only one, by Booth of Dallas, has reached engrossment. These bills do not make any exceptions. They absolutely prohibit the sale or dl+r- posal of cigarettes and cigarette wrappers, whether to minors or adults. It is hard to predict what will become of these bills. To the average country member a cigar- ette is an abomination. He smokes a pipe on week-days and a bad cigar on Sundays, and the sight and smell of the little cigar’ ette fills him with horror. But the cigar- ette industry is a rich and powerful one, and may succeed in preventing the enact- ment a bill. The House will probably pass it. but the Senate's action is more doubtful. ——-- -—-- ‘ays and Means, has a It is a bill establishing a State fair.

Mr. Clark is a farmer and stock raiser, and he thinks a “State fair would be of great benefit to the entire State, and especially to the farmers and Stock raisers. His bill was engrossed Friday. Adjutant-General Bell having secured from the Appropriations Committee of the House a recommendation that $80.000 be giv- en for the support and maintenance of the National Guard, is very busy working for the grand test, the adoption of the appro- nt by the House.

ALABAMA SUFFERED MOST. THE WIND WAS MOST DESTRUC- TIVE ABOUT EDWARDSVILLE. Dead Bodies Hurled Through the A’r, Houses Torn From Their Founda- tioms, Trees Uprooted: and Country Devastated. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 20.—Reports from the storm which swept over a part of Northern Alabama show that the wind was most destructive near Edwardsville. The death list in Alabama and Georgia numbers from 20 to 25. Near Edwardsville 12 persons are known to have been killed and something like twice as many injured. Great forest trees were picked up and blown about like straws and houses were torn into fragments. Following is a list. of the dead and wounded near Edwardsville so far as known: The de.d: Mr. and Mrs. and eight members of their known woman near Hoflin. The wounded: Bessie Coffee, aged 12, will die. Mrs. Runnell, aged 75, will die. Myr- tiline Stausels, aged 5, will probably die. Mrs. J. H, Cason, internally injured. Tom Runnell; serious. Wood Staueels, serious. Andrew Stiepan, serious. Mary Stiepan, badly bruised. Lizzie Runnell, dangerously injured. J. H. Cason, critical. Georgia Stausels; serious. Gainesville Stausels, badly wounded. Tosh Stausels, severely hurt. Coleman Stausels, badly bruised. The house of Louis Coffee, near Edwards- ville, was the first to go. It was a six- room log house. The dwelling was torn from its foundations and scattered to the four winds. Coffee and his family were carried 200 yards across a ravine, and dashed to death against the sides of a rocky hill. The dead bodies were found scattered in every direction. One of the girls was astride a stump, rigid in death, with her arms about the stump, showing that she had grasped it in her swift flight to stop her progtfess. Three of the bodies were absolutely nude except for a shoe or stocking, the wind having torn the clothing from them. After the Coffee home had been demol- ished the storm passed to the houses of J. Wilder, J. H. Carson and Ben Stanse!l and demolished them. Mary Stiepan’'s house was next destroyed, and she, with a babe in arms, was biown a great dis- tance. Such was the force of the wind ‘that when the woman Span? checked her progress a pair of old-fashioned earrings were torn from her ears. The path of the storm was about 300 yards wide, and everything went down be- fore the awful gust. Not a tree is left standing in the path of the wind. Mon- arch pines were twisted from their roots and blown away. The motion of the storm was rotary and pyar 7 HAG was demolished by the twisting wind. The cyclone divided itself about seven miles from Edwardsville, one section swirling off to the north, while the other took a southeasterly course. A _ fearful Lewis Coffee family; -un- rroaring noise followed the storm, and later it was found that a large flour mill on the Georgia line had been destroyed. Another cyclone struck in the extreme north part of Alabama, blowing down a number of small dwellings at Hazel Green, and still another visited the southeastern portion of the State, demolishing the little town of Sellers. The blowing down of tel- egraph poles and the swollen condition of the streams render it difficult to secure correct information of the damage done, and the next few days will likely devel deaths as dreadful as that whi eral damage done. There were eleven houses blown down on Walker McCathern’s farm, six miles from Waynesboro. One ~ im near town was completely demolished. It was occupied by eight negroes, but they-all escaped unin- jured. DAMAGE IN ARKANSAS. Many Houses Were Blown Away and Other Property Destroyed. PINE BLUFF, Ark., March 2.—In Sat- urday’s storm the Walker plantation, five miles above the city, there were six houses completely demolished and a fine ginhouse biown into the river. Seven negroes, occu- pying one of the houses, saved themselves lying prostrate on the _ floor. They erawied from the debris after the storm. On the Fish plantation, six miles below Pine Bluff, 10 houses were completely de- molished. There still remains a considerable portion of the inland country from which ' to hear.

THE EVIDENCE IS STARTLING. MANY SAY THE FIRE STARTED IN TWO PLACES. The Fact That Guests and Employes Were All Watching the Parade Made the Time an Opportune One to Execute the Plot. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. March 3®.—Was the Wind- sor Hotel horror the work of incendiaries, who fired the building that they might loot the rooms of the wealthy guests while panic reigned? Everybody who eaw the pitiful waste of Llife on Friday last asked that question to- day. And so many stories were told that pointed this way that many survivors of the fire made no attempt at concealing their suspicions. Scores agreed that the fire started in two places in the hotel at the same time, and could that be anything but incendiary work? It started just as the St. Patrick’s par- ade was passing. The guests were all at the windows. The servants were on the roof or in their windows, looking at the marchers. Only the clerks in the office and two or three bell boys were at their posts. The big hotel was full of strangers, there to see the parade. It was an ideal time for a plot, if plot there was. Three or tour Central office men in plain clothes were around the ruins yesterday and mingled with the survivors at other hotels; while at headquarters were four men under arrest, one of them, Frank Kain, caught with $80W0 worth of jewelry in his hands, running as fast as he could from the fire, The others are Kid Ryan, Mike Linde and Fred Allen, the first two already in the Rogues’ Gallery. All four were put through the third de- gree yesterday. Kain was questioned clos- est of all, but would adm.t nothing. He declared tnat he was a newspaper reporter from Chicago here looking for work and occasionally picking up a story which he sold to the newspapers for what he could get. Kain was caught with 19 stick pins and 16 scarf pins, as well as other valuables, mostly diamonds and emeralds. Much of the stuff was Abner McKinley's, but some was from other rooms. ‘This made the poste very positive. How was it that Kain ad been going from room to room saving jewelry when there was life to save? One theory was that it was tne work of an organized gang who knew that there Was perhaps 31,40,000 in valuables in the hotel, and they precipitated a panic by setting it on fire while the parade was pass- ng. Kine other theory was that one thief did all the work, hoping to start a panic and getting more than he bargained for. Per- wiapshaps the wretch perished just as his plot succeeded. Mise Evangeline Adams of Boston and Mrs. Emma WU. Brush of East Orange, who occupied a suit of rooms on the first floor of the hotel, barely escaping with their lives, and 8. W. LEiliot of Chicago, who occupled'a room on the fourth floor and who assisted in the rescue of women from the burning building, entertain the sus- picion of incendiarism. “Il was leaving my room after the cry of fire,’’ eaid Miss Adame, “‘when I saw a negro standing In the hall-at my door. Mrs. sh was behind me. Neither of us thought the fire would amount to anything, and we did not think it would be neces- sary to lock the room or take any of our valuables. On seeing the negro, however, I determined not only to lock the room, but to lock the wardrobe in the room, **Don't lock your door,’ said the man, ‘the house is on fire. You had better hurry to the street. Hurry up.’ “The suggestion from the man and his appearance aroused my suspicions. He was not employed about the hotel, I am certain. He was well dressed. He seemed to be standing about the hall just waiting for rooms to be vacated to begin robbery. I don’t know whether he entered my rooms or not. If he did he probably got some jewelry iost by Mrs. Brueh.”’ “I did not understand the man at all,” said Mrs. Brush. “‘He was a most sus- picious person. Although persons were run- ning for their lives and the hall was filled with smoke, he did not seem in the least perturbed. My candid belief is that this man was a thief ”’ The story told by Mr. Elliot is much like that told by Mrs. Brush and Miss Adams. fourth floor he saw a white man about who, and the heat, moved about as quietly as though nothing unusual had occurred. Chief of Police Devery, when given these facts last night, said: ‘So far we have had no suspicion of in- cendiarism. This is the first suggestion that has come to my knowledge. ‘The etatement made by Miss Adams and Mr. Biliot are of grave importance, I will make a thorough investigation of the facts. It seems incredible that any man could have set the hotel on fire for pur- poses of robbery, but I shall sift the mat- ter to the bottom.” Fire Marshal Peter Seery is making a thorough investigation of the fire, but sv far has learned nothing about incendiar- ism.

But beyond all consideration for valu- ables in the care used in delving into the ruins is the thought of the human bodies which any touch might bring to light. It is in mindfulness of the dead more than the rest that no pick or shovel is allowed in workmen’s hands lest a blow should bury it in one of these. Nearby, with a corps of assistants about him, is Dr. Blauvelt of the health depart- | ment. Barrels of disinfectants are at his hand to sprinkle over the bodies when they are revealed. Dr. Edward Donlin, Coro- ner’s physician, with several aids, waits for the time he shall be called. upon to per- orm his part. To his has been intrusted aead and super- intending their removal to the morgue. His details are all arranged. Each body, as recovered, will be borne into the police Shed, there to be numbered. Then it will be carried to the dead wogan, which is not to be summoned till wanted, and then to the morgue. To prevent confusion, such as followed the Hotel Royal fire and Park Place disas- ter, Dr. Donlin has instructed the police to had been the custom and confusion re- sulted. Now the Coroner will take charge of this matter. The hotel safe has been found uninjured. | It has not been opened. ‘Miss Helen Gould turned her house into a relief bureau last evening. Four long ta- bles were spread in her kitchen. boilers of coffee were put on the range, ham sand- wiches were cut in the laundry, and all the men employed at work on the ruins were invited to stop for refreshment./ This act of kindness was thoroughly ap- preciated by the tired and hungry work- men. Frank Gould was around personally to see that nobody that applied went away unserved. The damage to the Gould house is about $10,000. All sorts of theories are current as to the origin of the fire One very persistent theory is that thieves Set fire to the hotel to aid them in pur- eee of robbery. Chief Bonner said he be- feved the fire started somewhere near the big water tank on the roof, calculated to hold 8000 gallons, which was near the court dropped into the hotel, and made a hole big enough to give the flames. which had al- 2 ne obtained good headway, plenty of lays The crash of this tank was what was generally supposed to be the first explo- sion.-The actual explosion from the com- the building came a little later. This theory would contradict the statement of Miss Gould’s chef that he saw flames near the flagstaff on the wes. but everything now tends to show that the fire began on the east side of it. The skeleton of a victim of the Windsor Hotel fire was found to-day on the Forty- sixth st. side. The remains were in such a condition that it was impossible to tell whether they were those of a male ora fe- male. A human foot. with nearly all the flesh still on it, was also discovered at the Same spot. A little later the burned bone of a human leg so badly charred that it could not be told whether it was that of a male or female was taken from the ruins. Jenn'e McKenna, reported missing, is at her sister's home on Long Island. She was slightly burned. HE |S THE THIRD TO DIE. Fatality Follows All Who Assisted in Balloon Observations at Santiago.

LAREDO,Tex., ‘March 300..—Two more men were killed and a Captain of the State Rangers was wounded in a third fight with a mob of Mexicans over the smallpox quar- antine here this morning. United States troops from Fort McIntosh, under Capt. Austin are here to ase6ist the State authorities in inforcing the quaran- tine against smallpox, which has been op- posed by a mob of 40 Mexicans. The Ad- jutant-General and two companties of State Rangers arrived to-day. In the riot yesterday following the effort of the city authorities to remove small-pox patients from F.. Matamoras st. to the pest- house, one of the rioters was shot and As- patients from E. Matamoras st. to the pesi- en. Aftera lively exchange of shots during the first disturbance the authorities suc. ceeded in making a dozen arrests and tem- porarily cleared the way for the health of- ficers, but before their work was complet- ed another mob of hundreds was formed and moved upon them. ‘ It was apparent that the local authorities eould not cope with this opposition, and as a result a call for troops was made on Gov. Sayers and by him on the United Statcs Government.

NBW YORK, March 20.—Col. William J. Bryan has sent the following letter, dated Knoxville, Tenn., March 18, to a morning paper: “Tl avail myself of your invitation to say a word in regard to political banquets. A banquet has some advantages over a pub- lic meeting, when a number of speakers are to take part, but whether it proves a benefit or an injury to the party that gives it depends entirely upon circumstances. “One of the most famous banquets of an- client times was the Babylonian feast given by the King to a thousand of his lords on the last night of his reign. This banquet has furnished to literature two familiar expressions: ‘The Belshazzar feast,’ and ‘The handwriting on the wall.’ “One of the noted banquets of modern times was a dinner given at Delmonico’s in honor of Mr. Blaine near the close of his campaign. It was so widely criticised by political opponents that some thought it lost enough votes for Mr. Blaine to change the result of the election in the State of New York. “Whether a banquet is cheap or expen- sive depends partly upon the financial standing of the host and partly upon the purpose to be served. If we should chance | to have an Attorney-General so kindly dis- | Roses towards the trusts as to merit their ospitality, and the trust magnates should tender him a banquet, such a banquet would probably not be characterized by simplicity, although simplicity would char- acterize those who would expect such an Attorney-General to extinguish the trusts, Or, to add another illustration, if the Sec- retary of the Treasury should ever be sum- moned to New York City to re- ceive instructions in regard to the financial policy to be pursued by the Gov- ernment he would doubtless partake of the dinner somewhat commensurate with the profits which the financiers would expect to realize from his policy.

Whoever may have been to blame for the riot which cost Kassebaum and Pearce their lives, the incident shows that action is needed that will impress upon those who have little regard for human life that homicide cannot be indulged in with impunity. Bspecially wien human life is taken as the result of quar- rels in and around polling places, the community cannot afford to permit excuse for those responsible for such quarrels. Homicide at or around election booths has become so com- mon that all who go to the polls with deadly weapons in their possession are deserving of punishment. Morally, at least, they are particeps criminis in killings or woundings that may @ecur. Citizens should be secure in the right to vote in peace and safety. Perfectly fire-proof hotels, with fire alarms in every hall and foom, seem to be about what we want since the Windsor horror. = — = i id THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS. The Australian flying machine, an account of which is print- ed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, proceeds upon a theory which @eems to be reasunable because natural. The inventor claims to have discovered the secret of birds’ flight, and applies the principle to his machine. This would seem to be the most promising field of investiga- tion. After hundreds of years of wonder, speculation and some Systematic observation, the power of flight possessed by birds is yet a mystery. But could it be revealed and made plain, probably the application to artificial flight would be easy. The Australian kite flyer promises much. He will be watched with interest in the hope that his: performance will mot fall short. i i The Mexican Ambassador will be as heartily welcomed in St, Louis to-morrow night as was Ambassador Choate in London. = = i i ed THE CAMPAIGN IS ON, Mr. Mark Hanna has not “‘toted” the President down to his Georgia winter home merely to advertise his proprietorship of that eminent personage. He is a practical man and seeks sub- etantial results rather than any theatrical show of power. Mr. Hanna is planning for the campaign of 1900. Success Was necessary to him and his syndicate friends in 1896 to en- able them to get a grip on the country. Success is necessary in 1900 to enable them to keep their grip. There will be great goings on about Thomasville, Ga., for the next few days. Politicians will get their orders and men who have received favors in the past and expect renewals in the future will be asked to step up and help save the nation’s “honor.” A choice lot of legislation will be offered for gale and it will be sold, no doubt. The campaign of 1900 begins this week. It will be a business- like enterprise, with no sentiment or soft-solder in it, and it I j Hanna wins it will be by the same business-like methods which procured the election of his friend McKinley in 1896 ana -=— SS If our Kiondike boundary claim is just, Mr. Bull, who is encouraging our expansion, will doubtless readily assent to our taking possession of what belongs to us. ——_— | PROPOSED GAS GRAB. The House of Delegates has passed a bill granting a com- pany not yet formed a gas franchise, and the bill is now be- Yore the City Council, having passed its second reading. - Under this proposed franchise, the company can take up ‘any street or alley it pleases and lay pipes.

Philadelphia became a victim to a gas grab, but not such a grab as this bill proposes. The Philadelphia company had to furnish the city gas for public buildings free. The price per thousand feet for street lighting was set, beginning at 90 cents and scaling down to 75 cents. And the company agreed to make annual cash payments to the city, beginning with a payment of $350.000 and’ increasing’it to $2,325,000 the last year of the franchise. The gas cOmpanies of Paris, France, have for years paid the city 20,000,000 francs annually for the privilege of lighting streets and furnishing gas te private consumers. All this and more hag been repeatediy called to the attention of the Municipal Assembly, Yet every new grab that comes = rushed through practically without protest by that ody. This gas bill is a grab. - = = re The best exhibit St. Louis could make in the year of her great World's Fair would be a well-governed city. The pros- pect for such a display, howey r, is not just at present in sight. i, ~ et . mg BETWEEN TWO EVILS Citizens of St. Louis who like neither Republican nor Demo- cratic municipal bosses and are heartily wishing a plague on both their houses find themselves in a quandary. They are between the devil and the deep sea—between Ziegenheinism and Bradyism. Both party machines while ostentatiously pretending to rec- ognize a public demand for reforms adopted the most repre- hensible methods of nomination. Thé Republican candidates for the Council and the School Board were nominated by a caucus of bosses, the results of which were prefunctorily in- dorsed by a primary vote. The Democratic candidates were nominated by a committee with the perfunctory approval of a convention. Both tickets are machine tickets. The school elections again slip back into party contests. There is room for choice in the candidates. As citizens of St. Louis have not yet made up their minds to overthrow cor- rupt machines and take charge of the city government with- out the intervention of party bosses, the best voters can do is to use their judgment in the selection of candidates. —_s oo “How much can I afford to give for the World’s Fair of 19037" should be asked by every man in the States of the Louisiana Purchase. The exhibits from every State may easily be made the grandest that have ever been seen. Let us astonish the last and the rest of mankind in 1903. It seems now to be the principal business of the St. Louis property owner to protest against the encroachments of the street-zrabbers. Perhaps he will get a little rest when the entire city is surrendered to greed and monopoly. Gen. Shafter's benevolent scheme of killing off half the Filipinos is making some progress if the reports of heaps of slaughtered Filipinos are not exaggerated. Speaker Reed cafe that the Republican party is going to take care of itself, but what seems more likely is that Messrs. Hanna, McKinley & Co. will take care of it. >>> -_ i It is a little queer if we are about to buy thirteen small war vessels from Spain to keep the Filipinos in subjection.

France has now a law by which marriage may be dissolved without cost to the ap- plicants. The Paris Divorce Court devotes Thursdays to gratuitous decrees. On one day recently 294 couples were divorced dur- ing a session of four hours—an average of more than one divorce to the minute. The applicants belong to the working class, In which divorces were infrequent fore the passage of the law. AND HE TURNED RED.

The blessed saut-de-lit is here, giving more health to woman, more comfort to man, This is a fashion or fad that works just as well for the man as the woman— perhaps a lJittle more so for the man. And what do you suppose it is? It is a satis- factory French garment which enables a woman to jump out of bed and shut the window or close the door without catching cold, while nay snores just like a man. The most desirable kind is made of double-faced eiderdown flannel or soft French flannel. The garment is cut with two straight seams under the arms, and hangs in a double box plait from the neck behind. The ample fronts fold widely about one, and a broad shaw! collar rolis back down the entire.front. Wide Japan- ese sleeves are more effective, but ane sleeves big enough to slip on easily anc gathered closely at the wrist are warmer. The ‘“‘jump-out-of-bed-in-a-jiffy”’ has pos- sibilities of great artistic beauty if becom- ingly contrasting colors are selected and if the edges are piped with plaited ribbon or silk cord and a silk rope run through ribbon loops is knotted about the waist. 4 © hair out of the eyes—a m The clothes brush of the age of romance.

A and ‘ TWO WILLS. +—_o—_o—_o—* — o—_0—_4—__ o_o Without loss of time Bill hid himself in a cupboard and. waited. A man with a dark lantern crept softly into the room, “Dick,” said Bill Stubbins, “‘my boss, Cyril Sharpe, Esq., is the right ’un,”’ ‘*He is.”’ “He ‘as completely reformated me, an’ me an’ Sassiety owes him a hoverwhelmin’ debt of gratefulism.”’ “Just so.”’ “Cyril Sharpe says to me when first he took me underhand, ‘Bill Stubbins,’ he says, ‘as long as you retains honest you shall nivver want for bread an’ baccy an’ ale, but the moment you takes to burglin’ again, I’ve done with you forever, and I'li place you in the yilest durance—which means jail.”’ “I remember,” replied Dick. “Of course, you gave up burglin’ at once, an you'll not think of it again.’’ “That's where you make an error,” said Bill Stubbins; (I'm going a-burglin’ to- night, and I want you to help me, as in years of yore.”’ “You hass?!’ “Beware 'ow you haddresses your supe- riors, Dick. I’m no more a hass than you, Cyril Sharpe is managing old Merryweath- er’s business for him. Long ago Cyril was given to understand that he wes Merry- weather's sole heir. Now, Merryweather’s nearest relative is a scamp of a nephew, who ‘as lived such a riotously, profligatory life that years ago he was disuninherited, which means that he was cut off with ae Well, the other day I overheerd Now, Dick, I’m not If the old man’ waé ‘Tl will, Bill.” That night two figures might have been seen crouching at the back of old Merry- weather's house.

I won- der what personality he is.’’ Peering cautiously out of his hiding place, Bill Stubbins obtained a good view of the second burglar, and he could scarcely re- press a cry of astonishment. “Great Scot!’ he said to himself, the profligatory nephew.” So it was, and he soon found what he wanted. “Ah, here it is!’ said the nephew, and he began to read his uncle’s last will and testament. “Let me see,’ he muttered, th.s will is only a week old, so it must be the last. He has left $5000 a and oe bee age no : ut why shoul et at waining saegk have j50u0?

Hang it! Let’s see what t says.” He then read the will, which was dated ‘it's five years back, ard to his joy he saw that every penny was bequeathed to Cyril Sharpe. The next day old Merryweather d‘ed. On the day of the funeral the nephew, who had mer eoey tunrned up at the cere- money, haughtily informed Cyril Sharpe that as Mr. Merryweather had left no will he was sole master of the estate, and Cy- ril’s services were no longer required. ‘But there is a will,”” said Cyril. “Indeed? Well, tind it! I give you my ermission to search the house. You'li ow the ins and outs better than I do.” “Very well,”’ replied Cyril, “I'll come round to-morrow.’’ That night Bil Stubbins paid another nocturnal visit to old Merryweather's study, and in the morning he went to Cyril and said: ‘‘Beg pardon, sir, but I've heerd as ‘ow there's a missing will. Mebbe the hec- centric old gentleman nev hid it In a hout- o’-the-way place. Now, sir, you know My old profession. I'm used to lookin’ in hus likely places. P’raps you wouldn't mind me ‘elping you in the search," ; In due course they reached Merryweath- er’s house and began to search the study.

CURVING THE BALL. It Isa Dangerous Business in the Eaily ~ Spring Time. No, sir, I have not curved a ball this spring,” said Teh-thousand-dollar Breiten- stein, “nor I don’t intend to until the championship season opens.”’ ni either will I, and I don’t know that I w curve a great many when it does open, said Noodles Hahn. “Some of the very best gameg I ever pitched were ones in which I never once curved the ball.’’ That is #0,” said Breitenstein. ‘I have had the same experience: you don't need many curve balls. All you have got to do is to show the batter that you can curve them. if he knows you ean he is always looking for them. If he knows, on the other hand, that you are only using straight ones he will put you out of the business.” Traming is the hardest part of baseball.

All refuse to sign unless Sreedman pays them ne back salary they claim !s coming to them. The Pittsburg ballplayers will reach Ro- anoke, Va., this Monday afternoon. They will play there. Tim Hurst will not be istaff of umplres this year. Hugh Duffy is practicing left-handed batter. Jack Grimm has been appointed an um- pire in the Interstate League by President Oharles B. Powers. Old Guy Hecker—old timers remember him—is coaching Lehigh University’s ball team. He's probably sticking to the old rules and insisting that over the fence and on the first bound are out, Boston players have been notified to re- port to Frank Selee on Tuesday next. Sev- eral of the boys have positions coaching New England college teams, and they wish to evade the practice trip. Pitcher Jack Taylor is at his old tricks with Cincinnati. He was among the “are: teriously disappeared’’ for 24 hours. ut that’s nothing. When with 8t, Louis he used to mysteriously disappear for a whole week. ark Griffith of the Chicago Club rode ng 4 through Texas and a portion of New Mexico sitting in a car window witha rifle across his knees, looking for a chance shot at a buffalo or antelope or some other big game. It was a tired boy he was when he reached Albuquerque, without having had to blow the smoke out of his rifle bar- rel. y ebeau furnishes the diagram co Fie ielebrated Cleveland interview. the Cleveland Club would d I meant it,”’ he says. ‘‘So giey in Oshkosh.

Madden’s P.audit and John Schorr’s Lieber Karl— Kentucky against Tennessee. This year at least five, or probably six, good 3-year-olds will dash by us as the red ff falls.

Hleatherbell. Madden, J. F., ch. Espania, In the above list, Manuel, His Lordship, The Kentuckian, Th Barrister, Jolly Roger, Hapsburge an the best of the Schorr bunch are likely to face the starter. The Memphis brewer has four entries and at least one, and possibly two, will start. These are W. Overton, Ordung, Sea Lion and Albert Swind. It will be noticed that John E. Madden also has three entries. One of these, Jolly Roger, however, be- longs to Johnny Vetter, a Louisville sport- ing man, and is almost certain to start. Hapsburg will likely carry Madden's colors. Th's bay colt by Candlemas—Lady Reel is a haif-brother to Hamburg, the sensa- tional colt Madden sold to Marcus Daly. Madden thinks mighty well of Hapsburg and it is the general belief in Kentucky that Madden expects Hamburg’s half- brotW®r to be as good a colt as was his il- lustrious relative. Of course, several others not mentioned in the preceding paragraph may start in the Derby, but the chances are against this. The Barriste is entered in the name ot ss H. Blackburn & Co., but he really belongs to Charles Buschemeyer, a prominent drug- gist of this city, who would rather win the Kentucky Derby than to fall heir to a fortune. With Buschemeyer and Vetter the Derby means more than it does to other Kentuckians, for their colts lend ad- ditional iceal color to the race. The Bar- rister showed stake form as a 2-year-old early last season, but soon grew stale, after having bien keyed up to a keen racing edge for two months. Jolly Roger also showed that he was a fine 2-year-old last season, and if no mishaps are encountered, two Louisville colts are sure to contest for the prize. John W. Schorr & Son will probably send either Sca, Lion or Ordnung, or both, to represent them in this race. T, Burns will ride the better of the pair. Ordnung is an unknown quantity. Much was expected of him last spring, but he went amiss. Sea Lion raced through the Western cir- cult last year, and was a thoroughly ser- viceable youngster. Out of 2 races he won eight, was three times second, four times third and eight times unplaced. His best work at last accounts was six fur- longs in 1:19, going easily. Of the horses that are now being pointed for the race, Jolly Roger, Sea Lion, Ord nung and The Kentuckian are at Mont- gomery Park, Memphis. The Kentuckian is extremely well liked here in Lovwisville. He is also entered in the Crescent City Derby, but some doubt Is entertained as to The Kentuckian’s running in this race. He is favorite for the Kentucky Derby, and E. F. Simms, his owner, is not inclined to take long chances with him. If he starts at New Orleans he will probably not start In the Tennessee Derby. He is not as far advanced in his preparations es the others are. Last year The Kentuckian raced in the highest 2-year-old company, East and West, and beat as many as beat . He finished fifth in the Futurity atter encountering more than his share of hard luck. Jolly, Roger, although more than a use- ful 2-year-old was never considered in the same class with The Kentuckian, but he always held out ee prowne of developing Into a grand 3-year-old, harles Patterson has The Barrister ghnoving in good shape, and hopes to send him to the t. The colt looks and acts well. Jolly Ro r worked a mile one morn- ing this week In 1:45 and looked to be run- handily. The Kentuckian worked six ngs in 1:21. . Schorr recently remarked: “I do not see how ther. agure The Kentuckian to beat my colt, . Overton wouldn't trade him for any 38-year-old in America, barring none, or West. He is as sound as a dollar, can carry weight and go the distance, and I do not see why any 3 year-old should be favorite over him. The other owners are sowing wood and saying little. Each firmly elieves, of course. that his colt will carry to him the glory attached to winning the ic event.

DOUGLAS, THE HOCKEY TOURNAMENT. The Last Games of It Will Be Played at the Ice Palace This Week. This is the last week of the hockey tour- nament at the Ice Palace. The Ali-Canadians have a good lead and will doubtless win the trophy. The St. Louis society team is now second, with the St. Louis University third. The games this week will probably be the hardest fought of the entire tourna- ment, as to Win or lose one ame will change the standing of any of the teams, with the fh Phot of the Canadians.

For years the company has placed this safe at the dis of the peopleof the town who wanted a safe place to keep their money and valu- as Several thousand dollars, besides bonds and valuable jewelry, belonging tc the townspeople. is always in the safe with the soney of the company. The company Ir- self did its own banking and always kept all of its money in the safe. Saturday night two men broke into the mili through a rear window. Once inside it was easy to get into the office. bs At 2 o'clock Sunday morning, as the vil- marshal wae going his rounds and was about two blocks from the mill, he heard the rumbling noise of an explosion. He at once suspected that the milling com- DPany's safe had been blown. He ran to the mill, made a reconnoiter, and found the open window through which the burglars had entered the mill. He feared that if he went to summon ae- a a the men would get away. Drawing is revolver he crept up to the office. The men were hard at work drilling a hole into the inner doors of the safe, which had not Been blown open by the explosion. He supposed they could only get out through the door by which they entered. He stepped to this and covering them with his revolver commanded them to throw up their hands. Instead of doing so they made a dash for another door, which they had with foresight opened. © marshal fired one shot and ran after them. They ran out of the building and Gown the street.

Erwin, Acting Superintendent of the Yellowstone Park, has reported to the Interior Depart- ment that the unprecedented fall of snow In the park this year unquestionably wil! lead to the death of many antelope, deer and elk. In places in the park snow is over 12 feet in depth and is firmly crushed everywhere, which prevents these animals from digging through and obtaining food underneath. Appropriation from the park revenue for buying hay is asked. The moose report the elk very weak. The main erd of buffalo, however, being in a region of hot springs that melt the snow, are getting along fairly well. EEE ay ee ae es -_— —_— --~ —— - ——_—_— 3 A PURE GRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR POWDER ‘DR: OLD O'FALLON MANSION BURNED — Historic Residence Entirely, Destroyed By Fire. HASTY EXIT OF OCCUPANTS. JACOB HOEHN’S FAMILY ALMOST SUFFOCATED. — Ancient Structure Opposite O’Fallon Park Burned Like a Tinder Box Monday Morning and Was Speedily in Ruins. The od O'Fallon mansion, occupied by the family of Jacob Hoehn, proprietor of Hioehn'’s Park, on FP orissant av., opposite O'Falion Park, was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Only the irregular brick sides of the house are left standing. The Hoehn family lost everything they possassed, excepting the clothes, which they found just time enough to don before the flames evicted them, The fire was discovered at 4 o’clock by Jacob Hoehn, Jr. Had young Jacob's keen nose gone to sleep with the other of his four senses—thus refuting a popular im- pression that the faculty of smelling slum- bers hardest of all other sensibilit.es— there would no doubt have been ambu- lances at the house later in the morning along with the fire engines which played on the ruins until after 10 o’clook. — When Jacob awoke there wasn't fire encugh in the house to broll a slice of ham wth. but there was so much smoke that the family had all kinds of difficulty find- ing the siairway and docrs. Five or ten minutes more in their beds and the sleep- ing family must surely have been asphyx- iated. The Hoehns gave a party Sunday night and hence were later in retiring than !s their custom. ‘The big fire which was left in the kitchen range after a hot supper was served at midnight is thought to have started the confla ition. It was after 1 o'clock when the family got to bed. Jack Hoehn was the last one to go to his room. Before he started upstairs to bed he made his usual trip through the rambling old structure to see that doors were locked and all lights out. At that time the embers in the kitchen range seemed faint and in no danger of giving trouble. When young Jacob Hoehn was awakened by the smell of smoke he went downstairs without first calling any alarm. He found the din'ne room and kitchen filled with smoke, which drove him back into the hall. He hastened upstairs an‘ called his father and mother, three sisters and his brother Jack. ‘hey partly dressed themselves, and reached the ground not a minute too soon. Jack Hoehn, after he had left the hceuse remembered his ncwly-purchased diamond stud left on h-s bureau. He es- sayed io save it and dashed back upstairs to his room. He secured the stud, and while in his apartments he thought it wowd be a good thing as well as an exhibition af eoolness and presence of mind to put on some more of his extensive wardrobe. He followed out his idea, but it came near costing his Mfe. When he emerged from his room the found the upper hell impene- trable from smoke. It filled his eyes as well as ‘this lungs, causing him to stagger back into his room. He knocked the glass out of one of the windows and called for help. His father. who was standing on the ground, advised him not to jump, when a leap appeared to be his only saving. One of the Misses Hoehn then showed that girls are not always “weeping nuis- ances’ in times of emergency. She spied a ladder leaning against a_ shed a short distance from the nouse. She dragged if to the building, and with her father's aid ran it up to her brother, who descended in safety. In the meantime the smoldering wood- Jacob, Jr., had telephoned the Central Sta- tion of the Bell telephone system that his home was on fire. The astute operator sug- ested that it might be a wise act to turn na fire alarm. The nearest fire alarm bo. is three-quarters of a mile away from the house. It was no time for Jacob to argue with the all-wise operator, and Jacob so up trying to notify the Fire Departme™. over the wire. He started ona run through O’Falion Park, and fortunately met on the way a neighbor, who is a private watch- man. The watchman had a key to the fire boxes, and he ran to Broadway and Carrié av., the nearest call, and sent in an alarm, The department answered to that corner, losing almost half an hour in getting on the right track of the blaze. The police of the Fair Grounds Station by this time had seen the flames, and they Aliso sent in a call from another quarter. This proved lucky, for two engines and hook-and-ladder trucks were thereby sen® to the scene, All they could do, however: was to work on the building and keep the walls standing. The Hoehns had lost evy- erything, except the contents of one room— a room that many St. Louisans would havc liked to visit Sunday—the saloon—for Jacob oo et gga a mpadnouse in the O’Fal- on ansion, using the top floor: . farms. . 4 p rs for thé e interior of the old house was so , tinder for the flames. The blaze. ate ua minutes, was so bright the entire neighbor- hood, sparsely settled as it is, was aroused Friends came to offer their services, but there was no help they could give except to offer shelter for the homeless family. The early morning was so cold that Icicles formed on the eaves of the house where water had been thrown by the enginees. Mr. and Mrs, Hoehn and the young ladies suffered acutely and had to be conveyed to the homes of various friends where they now are. Jack Hoehn said Monday morning that he estimated the loss on furniture and clothes at 3000 with insurance of about $2700. He did not know what valuation. was placed by the owners on the house and what in- surance there was carried, if any at all. The O'Fallon mansion was about the best- known of all the great old-fashioned home- steads to be found in North 8t. Louis, It was two stories in height, with quaint wings extending in all directions and a tower in the center of the roof. St con- tained 15 rooms, a fact which necessitated many hallways on both floors. These hall- Ways acted as so many drafts for the flames and doubled the danger which over- hung the unconscious men and women on the second floor when the fire broke out Four years ago Jacob Hoehn leased the great house and the spacious grounds which surrounded it. He converted the first floors into dancing halls and dining rooms, with a bar attachment, and outside he erected a large dancing pavilion. Rustic seats were scattered throughout the lawn under the big trees, and here and there were bullt little summer houses. He operated the pic- nic grounds as Hoehn's Grove, and it soon became one of the prominent pleasure re- sorts of the northern section of the city.

VICTIM BEGGED FOR HIS LIFE. ANTON AND HUGO HARTUNG ARE CHARGED WITH MURDER. Fairmount Park Saloon Keeper aud His Son Shot.a Patron Who Ob- jected to Paying for a Drink Taken by the Former, John Ellison, employed by Barney Schrei- ber, @ racehorse man, died Monday morn- ing from bullet wounds received Sunday afternoon at Fairmount Park, St. Louis County. . Ellison is alleged to have been shot to death by Anton Hartung and his son Hugo, both of whom are under arrest at Clay@on. A warrant was issued by Hiram Holt, who claims he was a witness to the tragedy. Hartung is the proprietor of a saloon at Fairmount Park. Gunday afternoon EIlH- son and a party of friends entered the place and called for drinks. Hartung drank with them and registered his own drink when he made change. Ellison pro- tested that he had not asked the saloon- keeper to drink, and that Hartung had no right to keep out the money for something that had not been bought by him. It is alleg~ed Hartung became angry and excited. He drew a pistol from under the bar and fired into the air, commanding El- lison and his friends to leave the plece. Mrs. Hartung, hearing the report of the pistol, ran into the saloon, and grabbing Ellison began to scuffle with him. He tripped and fell to the floor. Hartung leaned over the bar and fired at the pros- trate man, the bullet entering his left side, just below the heart. He was about to fire again when Ellison cried out: “Don't shoot again, for God's sake!”’ The woman at this juncture was evident- ly moved @ sympathy, for she begged her husband not to shoot and held her dress over the wounded man. But her son Hugo entered the saloon, and seeing the troubie in progress, promptly drew his revolver and go.ng close to Elson shot him in al- most the same place his father’s bullet had entered. Edison, thus mortally wounded, managed to get upon his feet and to stagger to the door, where Anton Hartung again fired at him. The bullet failed to take effect, but Eltison fell to the ground. Neighbors picked him up and carried him to the office of Dr. Heidorn of Fairmount Park. Dr. A. V. lL. Lrokaw was sum- moned from St. Lou’s and the two r- geons workeli most of the night in a vain effort to save the life of the wounded man. Ellison died at 6 o'clock (Monday morning and an inquest was held during the day. ST PATRICK'S PARADE LARGEST DEMONSTRATION IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Affection for the Emerald Isle ard her {llustrious St. Patrick was fittingly at- tested in St. Louis Sunday. Persons, irre- spective of nattonality, contributed to make the day memorable. The parade in honor of Ireland's saintly hero was the largest of the kind given in the city in many years. It Is stated that over 10,000 persons were in the line of march. Thirty Catholic parishes of the city were represented, in addttion to a contingent of 1000 marchers from East St. Louis. Mem- bers of the various Irish societies helped to swell the parade, and by their fine uni- forms rendered it doubly attractive. “It reminded me,”’ said Capt. Peter Joyce, of the Seventh Police District, “of the times when every one rejoiced in the mem- ory of St. Patrick. In the old days the lo- eal Irish societies were much stronger than they are now. As I remember we used to start the parade about noon, and had such immense turnouts that it was sundown when the last division disbanded. ‘But Sunday’s demonstration is the big- gest I have seen in 2 years.” The captain was ‘busily engaged with a force of patrolmen and special officers, keeping the impatient onlookers in order at the intersection of Grand and LAndell bl., where the parade disbanded. When the last of the marchers rounded the curve, he smiled and walked away. The affair had been a complete success, without one acci- dent. The parishes and societies made a brilliant showing, some of them in soft green hate, and the small boys with buttle-axes and radiant with banners. The horses were literally covered with roses and green fol- iage, while in great wagons sat bouquets of retty girls, smiling under white veils. eens were many prominent citizens in car- riages, while the stately priests bestrode their horses well. Fr. Timothy Dempsey,mounted on a black charger, presented a fine ye He was literally covered with flowers. There were bands of music playing alternately “The Wearing of the Green,” “Marching Through Georgia,”’ and “Ssamp, Tramp.” Archbishop Kain reviewed the parade from the diocesan residence, 3810 indel] boulevard.

DENIES HE WAS DODGING. DIDN'T KNOW MAJORS COMMIT- TEE WANTED HIM, Superintendent of Street Sprinkliug Declares He Has Been Perform- ing His Duties and Was Not in Hiding. George W. Reichmann, Superintendent of Street Sprinkling, the man who assisted City Register Henry Besch to draw the F. Mueller vouchers and who was diligently sought for by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Major Cemmittee, turned up at the City Hall three hours after the Committee ad- journed. Monday he was a busy man, between the Street Department, the office of Register Besch, and that of City Cousellor Schur- macher. Incidentally, during his hasty trips through the corridors Reichmann was haibed by friends as one returned from a long journey; The habitues of the Sprink- ling Department and the Superintendent’s favorites were effusive in their greeting, and frequent were the inquiries as to where he thad been. Reichmann keenly enjoyed his notoriety, and the discomfiture of the State’s officers in their failure to serve a subpena on him. To acquaintances the Superintendent re- plied with a knowing smile, that he had “just been around.” To a Post-Dispatch reporter he said he had not been anywhere. “Why, I’ve been here attending to my duties all the time,’’ he said, laughingly I ‘hhaven’t been away and had no intention of going.’’ Street Commissioner Milner corroborated the statement that Reichmann had relig- iously performed all this duties as Superin- tendent of Sprinkling during the time the Major Committee's offigers were scouring the city for him. “What's more,” continued the returned Superintendent, “I passed Sergeant-at- Arms Wooten, . within hailing distance, twice last week, One time I was in my bu +4 and the eq on foot.’’ , ere was the first e “ nena meeting?’ he was Reichman refiected several then confessed that ‘he did not know. You, see, I can’t remember,”’ plained. “I was so busy getting over town attending to the sprinkling that I do not recall in what particular part of town it was. But Wooten was Standing on the curb as I drove past. This was Monday, “Where did the second meeting occur?’ Why, right here in the City Hall. 1 passed within two feet of Wooten.” “Doesn't Wooten know you?’ I thought so, but it seems not, or maybe he did not see me.”’ Reichman was asked whether he did not know from the: newspapers that he was wanted to testify in the F. Mueller cas “I didn’t know they wanted me,” he s4d, smiling. “If they had, I was in town and they should have summoned me to appear.”’ -"* you read that you were want- e minutes, “You can’t always believe what you read. I had no information that my presence was desired.”’ “What kind of information did you want —oOfficial information?’ “Yes, that’s it; that’s it,’ said the Su- perintendent, eagerly. “Official informa- tion is what I was waiting for.’ Mr. Reichman’s attention was called to Mr. Wooten’s frequent trips'to his home. ““My dear sir,’’ he said, “you cannot ex- ect me to stay at home, awaiting Mr. ooten'’s pleasure, when my duties re- quire my presence elesewhere.”’ “Well, how do you account for Wooten not finding you?” “Oh, I don’t attempt to account for it. I am supposed to go all over town, and I gZuess they missed me that way. I want to state that I made no effort to dodge the committee’s officers. They simply didn't find me, and that is all there is to it.” Reichman said he qualified as Superin- tendent of Street Sprinkling, for the short term Monday. A CONFIDING VISITOR —_— MR. EPPERSON OF INDEPEND- ENCE TRUSTED STRANGERS. W..P. Epperson, a confiding stranger from Independence, Mo., started out to see the town with two young men whom he met in a saloon. The pair held him up and took from. him $19 and a gold-filled watch. About 3 o'clock Monday morning Epper- son, who had been seeing a few sights on his own account, went into the saloon at the northeast corner of Ninth and Walnut sts. There were several young men in the place. Epperson was feeling sociable. the crowd to join him at the bar. After several rounds of drinks, for all of which Epperson cheerfully paid, he co;- fided to nobody in particular that he was out for a time and wanted to see all the sights to be seen. 7o of the young men said they could show him sights which would throw the Mormon Temple at Independence far into the shade. They offered to guide him around just for fun. The three started north-on Ninth st. When they were between Chestnut and Pine sts., one of the men on Qnd 1 stepped He invited around in front of person @&nd pressed a revolver against his breast. 4 “Just stand still and be still.”” he said. The other man went through Epperson’s pockets and got his money and watch. The robbers then ran through an alley and escaped. Epperson did not ratse an outcry, but he inguired the way to the Four Courts and reported the hold-up at the Central Dis- trict Station. George Daly was arrested in the saloon att Ninth and Walnut ets. Thomas Quigley, a police character, was arrested in the room of Frances Scott at 719 Walnut st. ppesese positively identified both men. They were locked up in the holdover. Monday morning warrants for highway robbery were issued by Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney Johnson. The arrests were made by officers Maher and Harlow. ‘HE WANTED AN OPEN SALOON. Harry Connors Arrested While Trying to Invade a Barroom. Henry Cramer thinks the enforcement of the Sunday closing law is a bad thing for two reasons. It affects the income from his saloon and exposes him to burglarious visits. Cramer abeyed the mandate of the Po- lice Commissioners and closed his place at 3133 S. Broadway promptly at midnight Sat- urday, Two hours later Harry Connors, alias Stansbury, stormed the back window of the saloon. He had broken out the slats and was getting ready _to pry the sash up when Special Officer Connors came along and reminded him that it was against fhe law to open a saloon on Sunday without the proprietor’s permission. Connors was ed up and 4 warrant he ex-" him with attempted burelary was ROBSON’S NEW PLAY AND OTHER SHOWS. The first public performance of ‘Two Rogues and a Romance” was given last | night at the Olympic Theater by Stuart Robson and his company. The audience was large and indicated that it enjoyed the ‘play by applauding frequently. After the third act Mr. Robson was called be- fore the curtain. He made a gracefully humorous speech’ of thanks, told a funny story and retired leaving his auditors full of good wishes for him and hopes that the new play would prove a success. It is difficult to say with absolute con- viction whether it 1 or not. It has grievous faults, for some of which there is no apparent remedy. The author, Theo- dore Burt Sayre, seems to have devoted his attention to fitting Mr. and Mrs. Rob- son, with parts that would suit their per- personalities. He succ ed admirably in this, but neglected to provide an adequate dramatic excuse for their exploitation. The story is involved and imconsequential. It is develo , or sought to be developed, in a ies of duologues and triologues (double derivative words, patent applied for). The first curtain rises on two per- sons conversing. After they talk for a few minutes they retire and two others come on and discourse. These two give way to two ophers, and they to still others, and so on till the curtain falls. All this talking is done with a twofold purpose—to explain what the subsequent acts will be about and to show what a bright and epigram- matic writer the author is. The explan:- tions are not as as the epigrams. After the play is ended if you will think it over carefully you will remember that the action was as follows: Andre de Ma- saix, @ young Italian, has been posing in Washington as his cousin, who is a count and has won the love of Sybil Car- rington, daughter of the British Ambas- sador. The Duke of Vestagala threatens to expose him unless he is paid to keep iet. Reggie Carruthers, nephew of the mbassador, who conceals monumental wisdom under the guise of a trifier, dis- covers the secret and foils the Duke by making Andre promise to go home and be good for a year, after which he may come back under his own name and marry the girl. Then comes Lucille Ramon, a beau- tiful and gifted woman, whom the Am- bassador wronged when she was a girl. She is panting for revenge, and, knowing Andre’s secret, attemptg to humiliate the Ambassadur by exposifig his son-in-law- elect. The wise Trifler foils her by induc- ing Sybil to break her engagement before the exposure can be made. Mme. Ramon then has an interview with the Ambassa- dor and shows him a document proving that he was a traitor years and years ago. He tries to take it from her and~they struggle down stage and up stage with the hts turned low. Finally the Am- bassador bends the woman backward over a table and is about to get the ‘rerim- inating document when eshe .cither stabs him or he develops heart disease—the writer could not tell which. Anyhow, he dies and the omniscient Trifler comes in and discovers the corpse. He has ‘Sybil and her lover concealed in the next room and sends them home without letting them know of the tragedy. This is the third act finale. In the fourth act the Trifler arranges four or five weddings, and the final curtain falls as he gathers his own beloved to his palpitating bosom. The de- ception practiced by Sybil’s lover is atoned for to the satisfaction of the author by the announcement that Andre is really the Count that he pretended to be, his cousin whom the impersonated having died. Of course, Andre is morally as much of an impostor as he would have been if his cousin had not died so opportunely, but as the Wise Trifler didn’t regard the de- ception as a bar to the marriage of his niece to a real Count, the public need not =. . e character of the Trifler shits Mr. Robson. He makes it apparent that he is a person of great strength of mind and character which he doesn’t use often be- cause fie finds it more amusing to be an idler and play the fool. Mrs. Robson has an qqealty good fit In the part of Dr. Violet Vinton, with whom the Trifler is in love. It is a strong comedy character and Mrs. Robson interprets it delightfully. She and Mr. Robson have several scenes together that are very pleasing. What a big beauty she is! To look at her as she moves about the stage is to make a man long to be seven feet high and weigh 300 pounds and see her husband’s name in the list of the dear departed. The plumper she grows the prettier she becomes. And she see to enjoy being a mountain of loveliness. There are many lines and much “business”’ - _— yn lay a to call attention erous charac ¥ SO a ter of her pui trude Perry and Strickland ll showed that they know the player’s -, The performance was smooth and the play was produced in a fitting manner. It will be given every evening this week and Sat- urday afternoon. A popular price matinee, with “The Meddler” as the bill, is an- nounced for Wednesday. John Philip Sousa’s large and faithful following, which is superlative in both at- tributes here in St. Louis, will find in ‘“The Charlatan,” which De Wolf Hopper and his company presented last evening at the Century, quite the best thing “The March King’ has given the public. Mr. Hopper’s admirers, who also abound plentifully here, will fird the same old Mr. Hopper in the same oll bad box, about to be split, halved and quartered for getting other people into difficulty with him, just as he has been doing in “Wang,” “Panjandrum” and “E! Capitan. The Sousaesque music which can be recognized yards away from the name on the orchestration, just as one can o— out a Gibson or Du Maurier in a col- ection of etchings, without a glance at the signature down in the corner, carries “The (harlatan” entirely, although Mr. Klein, the librettist, has written one or two amus- ing lyrics. The opera is full of numbers written in Sousa’s best march-composing vein. The choruses, with one notable ex- ception, are marches, and all of Mr. Hop- pers songs are. accelerated tempo. ‘The exception to the choruses is a tuneful air, sung without orchestral accompan!ment, but with a harp obligato from the wings. It is a novel as well as pleasant effect and last night it received 4 . ~~ three deserved en - people. materials, than Ivory Soap. to the performance was in Miss Radcliffe’s Juliet. It was her first appearance in the role, and strange to say, she had never seen the play produced. She didn’t fancy the undertaking, and may be excused for the slight nervousness she displayed. It would be unfair to compare her Juliet _to others that the play-going public is familiar with, for she has not had a suffictent opportunity to analyze the character.

Copyright, 1808, by The Prester @ Gambie Ve, Clacinnsth time it would be unjust to both Miss Rad- cliffe and the public to give her work un- qualified commendation. As Juliet she is beautiful and pleasing; but she does not stir the heart, nor lose herself in the indi- viduality of the warm blooded Italian rl. | However she was better in the part than any one had’a right to expect her to be after one week's preparation. Mr. n- ley’s Romeo is one of the best thi he does, and his work yesterday was excellent. His voice was clear and melodious, and he used it with great feeling. Mr. Hanley’s fault is that he does not read understand- ingly. He frequently accents the wrong word, thus obscuring the meaning of «@ sentence. But the public likes Mr. Hanlen as he is, and everyD dy who knows him per sonally is glad of it. Mr. Willams w Mercutio. The part has been cut severely, but the Queen Mab speech and the scene wth the nurse remain, and Mr. Wiliams did justice to the character in both.

The play is an idyllic love story, made familiar to the pwblic several vears agé by E. H. Sothern. The performance by the Stock up to the standard of that excellent organ- ization. Mr. Bosworth as the da young officer who wins the love of the heroine is strikingly handsome in his smart scar- let uniform. Miss Seligman as Fanny Hadden has an opportunity, to show her skill as an actress and her genius in cos- tuming ‘herself. Mr. Maher in the comedy role of the Dean’s lackey es another proof of his versatility. Is re any kind of character that young man cannot inter- pret intelligently? Miss’ Retmer has the first opportunity she has had during her engagement to prove that she can play other characters than termagants. Shc is very effective as a quiet old maid. r. Hamilton makes an imposing Dean. The play is staged ‘n the handsome manner that patrons of the Grand have growm to ex- pect. At the Columbia a one-act sketch called “Sallie's. Gacrifice,”’ is given by the com- edy company. It is a “botied-down” ver- sion of “Jane” and is very funny. Mr. Francis Byrne has the role of the young man who gets money from his uncle by retending to be married, and Miss Bleanor Robson appears as the scrving maid, who pretends to be the wife. Miss Robson is a pretty dnd clever voung actress and you needn't be surprised if you see her name in big letters a few seasons hence. How- ard’s trained ponies'and several good spe- c‘alties are on the Dill. “The Span of Life’’ was warmly wel- comed back to Havlin’s Sunday. The plot and cast have been, changed none and are familiar to all patrons of the house. The Famous Donozettis, who make the human bridge over which the heroine escapes from the villain, are, if anything, more limber and startling in their tumbling acts than before. C. W. Goodrich is the Dun- stan Leach, and does his work so well that his every appearance is greeted with storms of hisses and groans. Arthur Cog- liser is a pleasing hero and a hard worker. Miss Leonore Gordan, as Kate Heathcote, easily won the sympathy of all in her fight against the. machinat:ons of Leach, The Gay Masqueraders,. with several new features, returned to the Standard The- ater yesterday. The exhibition is peasticn™ ly the same as was given here before. e olio is followed by ‘McNulty and the Model, in which pretty costumes and figures are freely shown. ‘ Treasurer W. D. Cave of the Century will have a benefit Monday, April 3. The Mr. Klein’s book is rather flat as to dia- logue, and it is doubtful if anybody else than LAttle Willie’’ Hopper could extract so many laughs from it. The story of the opera is not new, but seems to be a weaving together of the main threads of other comic ove Rano tg aoe masquerading as no- y by a mountebank and his r seen in’“Half a King.” etinue as tilled, triple-expansion ened punishment of the false leader in “FI Capitan’ are both to be found in “The Charlatan.” But, as Mr. Hopper sings in the last act, “Don’t scorn your mutton if you hanker after quail.”" The lines of a libretto and the story are always secondary considerations in comic opera.
