HUSBAND AND WIFE ARRESTED. ALEX CARPENTER AND SPOUSE SAY THEY CAN EXPLAIN. Complainant Declares He Was Trapped by Strangers and at the Point of Knife and Pistol Made to Write. Alex. J. Carpenter and his wife Nellie, Mving at 210 Texas avenue, were arrested Wednesday afternoon by Detectives Viehle and Sylvia, on a charge of blackmail. Gustav Femm, a driver for the Ideal Brewery, is the complainant. He says that on Tuesday Morning he was directed to de- liver a case of beer at Carpenter's pome; that as soon as he was admitted to the house the door was locked behind him and Carpenter, putting a pistol to his head, compelled him to put down the case and sit at a table, on which were pen and ink. He says that in thunderous tones Carpenter accused him or wronging him and com- manded that he make amends, and that Mrs. Carpenter fortified her husband's threats with a big knife, which she flour- ished in dangerous proximity to his face. The driver says he realized the “help- lessness of his situation and agreed to do whatever they required of him. He declares he was compelled to write and sign the fol- lowing as his alleged confession. I hereby make the confession, of my own free will, that I wr Mr. A. J. Carpenter and that I was caught in the act. Then the driver asserts he was compelled to write and sign the foilowing note: ST. LOUIS, a 25.—I promise to pay to the order of A. J. Carpenter $100 in 30 days, with- out default. Femm says he never wronged Carpenter fm his life and that he knows nothing about him. As soon as he was permitted to leave the house he réported his extraordinary ex- perience to the police. Chief Desmond as- signed Detectives Dreble and Sylvia to the case. They inquired into the facts Tues- day night and the arrest of Carpenter and his wife Wednesday afternoon was the ce- sult. Carpenter is a conductor on the Tower Grove Division of the Union Depot Rall- |’ way line. He submitted quietly to arrest, #aying he could easily explain the affair at the proper time. He and his wife were in- earcerated in the Third District Police Sta- tion, at Ninth and Soulard streets. GOES HOME WITHOUT A BRIDE Diplomat Von Bredow Failed to Win the Daughter of an American Millionafre. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 3%.—Mr. von Rre- dow, an attache, who hae just severed his connection with the German Embassy, wil! leave for Berlin in a few days. Unlike his former colleagues, Count von Goetzen and Mr. von Breuning, Mr. von Bredow’'s at~ tentions to a beautiful American girl’ were unsuccessfu). Miss Madeline Goddard, daughter of the Providence-Newport millionaire, spent last @eason in Washington, and was an acknow!l- edged belle. Mr. von Bredow wae only one in a long train of admirers, But as the diplomat lover is young, not more than 22, and as he was here on a special mission which related to agriculture and not ‘9 matrimony, the German Ambassador did mot look favorably on his devotion to the Ddeautiful belle. Mr. von Bredow conclud- ed that life in the German diplomatic serv- ice was undesirable, and prompt! for- warded hie resignation to Berlin. He Is the n of e wealtny manufacturer. His friends re believe he will probably return to this country next year to renew his suit.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 2%.—Gov. Stephens was asked this morning if he had any statement to make in reply to the testimony of Gen. R. C. Horne btfore the See Committee, in which Gen. Horne de- nounced him as an infamous Har. “No, I don’t believe so,’’ he replied. ‘It would be beneath my dignity and standard of manhood to pay any attentiop to him. It would be too much like noticing the bray- ings of a jackass. ‘I understand that Horne came here yes- terday under the protection of a six-foot- three 20-pound brother and a loaded cane. He must have been seeking a brawl. I notice he didn't look me up or come around where I wag. I think I would have made it interesting for him if he had.’’ Gen. Horne’s friends regret vety much the violence of his language in referring to the Governor. They think his testimony would have had more effect if he had been more temperate in his language. They plead an extenuation that he is a very impetuous man and felt keenly the reflec- tions which the Governor had cast upon his veracity. He was especially angered by the Governor's statement on the stand that he had rushed into the Governor's office immediately after Dr. Coombs was forced to resign and exclaimed joyfully: “We've got him at last; he has resigned,’ referring to Dr. Coombs. ‘Gen. Horne denounced this as an “infamous lie’’ and both Dr. West- over and Dr. Dean, who were present at the time of the alleged occurrence, testified that he used no such words. The See Committee has practically con- cluded its work so far as the Fulton Asy- lum is concerned. Only one witness re- mains to be examined, Mrs. Cleveland of Mokane, who was Miss Emma Huer. She was an attendant at the asylum a year ago and joined with Mrs. Ada nders in testi- fying that ehe saw Dr. Coombs leave the room of ‘Mrs. Mollie Williams, an attend- ant, at midnight. mother and the committee will have ta” go to her home.

MARY MEYERS ARRESTED. A FIERCE CONTEST BETWEIN SOUTH SIDE WOMEN. Mrs. Meyers, a Midwife, Declares She Threw the Acid in Self-Defense— Mrs. Eckert Says it Was Deliberate. Mrs. Mary Eckert of 2428 South Third street and Mrs. Mary E. Meyers of 321 Marion street have been on unfriendly terms for the last year. The ill-feeling culminated Tuesday afternoon when Mrs. Meyers threw carbolic acid in Mrs. Eckert's face. Not a drop of the corrosive fluid was left in the bottle when Mrs. Meyers had finished her work. The acid did not flow freely enough from the mouth of the bottle to satisfy the enraged woman, s0 she broke the neck off and dashed the acid at Mrs. Eckert. Then she flung the bottle itself at Mrs. Eckert, saying as she did it, so eye-witnesses declare: ‘There's more for you if that doesn’t keep you from telling stories.”’ Mrs. Eckert may loose the sight of her left eye. The acid has burned away much of her hair, and the left side of the face is one great blister. She suffers intense pain, but was able to be taken to the Four Courts Wednesday morning in charge of a serseant. Mrs. Eugenie Bohlmann of 156 Dorcas street, who was Mrs. Meyers’ companion, was badly burned on the hands by stray drops of the acid, which also ate several large holes in her dress. The acid-throwing took. place in the paved passage-way between 2426 and 2428 South Third street, where the women met by accident, Mrs. eyers, who is a “he- baume,” had been cajling upon a patient at 2426. supérintending | the maneuvers of a stork. which arrivedsTuesday morning with a baby in his bill... Mrs. Bohimann had gone to the place with Mrs. Meyers to ren- der what assistance Bhe could. Mrs. Bekert says that as the two women came down the rear Bteps of the house and turned from the courtyard into the passage she stepped out of :her kitchen door and hailed Mrs. Meyers ‘“‘How do you ? haven't seem-yOu Meyers.” “No, you Naven't,? she says Mrs. Meyers replied. “T'We been wanting to see you, too, for you've been talking about me and some of my patients.” Mrs. Eckert says she denied having cir- culated any, gossip, but that the midwife became angry and refused to hear her ex- planatione.. Suddenly Mrs. Méyers struck her in the face, and then followed the blow with a dash of carbolic acid. Mrs. Eckert screamed, and the rear courtyard was crowded a second later with excited women and men.from the tannery and glass works across the street. Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. Bohlimann walked away in the midst of the disturbance. Mrs. Eckert wae led into the house by neighbors and Dr. J. D. Grant of 212 Sidney street was sent for. He came and dressed Mrs. Exckert’s burns. Mrs. Meyers was arrested late Tuesday afternoon and locked up at the Second Dis- trict Police Station. She passed the night there as ball was refused. Sirs. Meyers told the police that Mrs. Eckert had begun the attack. She admitted that she and Mra Eckert had been at outs for a long time. Mrs. Eckert swore out a warrant against Mrs. Meyers Wednesday afternoon charging assault and battery. The warrant was served on Mrs. Meyers at the police etation. Her sons became her surety and she is now out on ball. Mrs. Mevers says that when she entered the precincts of Mre. Eckert’s home she was told that “several women were laying for her’’ and that Mrs. Eckert was to start the trouble. She declares she threw the acid wholly in self-defense. THOUGHT TO BE A ST.

DEXTER, Mo., April 2.—Mrs. Jane Tet- taton, a widow. and four small children were last night murdered in their home at Malden, seventeen miles south, and to hide the deed the residence was set on fire and the bodies were partly incinerated. The supposed murderer, J. H. Tettaton, her stepson, is now under arrest and all the circumetances point to his gutlt. The Tettaton family has many influential members in this section, and at the death of Wash Tettaton, a few years ago, a large estate was left to be administered upon. J. H. Tettaton, a son, was selected as the administrator. The murdered woman, the widow of Wash Tettaton by a second mar- riage, and the stepmother of J. H. Tetta- ton, came in for a large share of the for- tune. Ill feeling was engendered between her and young Tettaton by his conduct of the affairs and law suits followed as a natural result. Yesterday she agreed, for a consideration of $500, to dismiss certain claims she held upon the lands that be- longed to the estate, Tettaton went to her home to adjust matters. This was the last seen of the widow and childrefi alive. About house by fire, and when they arrived the dwelling was nearly consumed by the flames and the sickening odor of burning flesh rose from the pile of embers. By heroic efforte the five bodies were gotten out of the em- bers, but several of them were burned beyond recognition and others were with limbs missing. The body of Mrs. Tettaton was found near the doorway with over half of her head missing, charred to a crisp, and the bodies of the children were found in dif- ferent portions of the building, one body being reeovered just beyond the doorway with a bullet hole in the head. , J.

Having been caught while at work Rich- ard ‘Mayer could not deny his guilt, bu: he claimed he had only made two or three of the counterfeits and those were for a friend. George protested innocence and ignorance of the entire transaction. After the boys were arrested Capt. Young sent a man to the Mayer home, 1422 South Thirteenth street, to arrest the father. The old man said he was inno- cent and advanced as a proof of it the statement that he owned two dogs that wore no license tags and were in imminent danger of being captured by dog catchers. Richard failed to corroborate his father's ying that he owned a dog ad a genuine tag on its collar. Among the persone said to have purchased counterfeit tags from the Mayers was Geo. Tetler, of 182 South rteenth street. Sergt. Hess went to Tetler’s home and found a 4d wearing a counterfeit tag numbered 1074. Hess confiscated it and Tet- ler will be interviewed by the police when he returns home. So wil! other persons said to have bought the bogus cage. and they May be prosecuted as well as the Mayers as dog licenses are not transferable and us- ing one known to be spurious is an infrac- tion of the law. It is not known how many of the counter- feit tags are being used, but the police say there are a at many, as they have a long list of dog owners who are said to have bought them. It has not been learned whet price was charged for the tags. The genuine, which are issued with a license, cost $ each. The counterfeits are readily recognized by the sand marks in them. The numbers are stamped on the genuine.

The Americans found the trenches on the South hank of the river deserted, which furnished them with cover from which they could pick off Filipinos whenever one of thém showed his head. When the rebels began firing, two puffs of smoke, simulta- neously, from the trenches on each eide vof the railroad track showed they were ising cannon, which was a genuine surprise to the Americans. Several! shells burst close Wheaton’'s staff, but it seemed that as they were unable to get the right range. Yourkk’s Utah Battery was ordered into position in the center of the Kansas rezi- ment, to silence the rebel guns, and at 1! o'clock the rapid-fire guns had been ferried across the river and came into line.

TPanaten WASHINGTON, April 26.—The ajtuation in the Philippines, particularly in the Isl- and of Laizon, gives some anxiety to the administration. A prominent member of the Cabinet said atepon that the question of the ultimate -” ** disposition of the islands had been aband- oned for the present, and that henceforth the only question considered would be the suppression of the rebellion, The President, he eald, was wiiling to use every man of the reguiar army and even to call forth the additional 2.0% men authorized by Congres« should ht become necessary to put down the insurrection. He will not con- s'der the ultimate disposition or form of government to be granted until the rebels surrender unconditionally. Despite the ad- vent of the rainy season in the islande, the Presidem, after consultation with his Cabil- net, has issued instructions to Gen. Otis to vigorously prosecute the war, regardiess of climatic conditions, and so far as his forces will permit to give the rebels no op- portunity to reinforce themselves or gain food or ammunition. The present campaign is of great strategic ‘Importance. It is eimilar (0 that attempted by Gen. McArthur at Polo and Malabon, which failed because of the character of the country through which the American force had to march. In the event it is suc- cessful in this instance, officers are claim- ing that it will end the war, as there will be no possible escape for the insurgents, and they will either be slaughtered or sur- render, The rebels are to be Geprived of their supply of powder and ammunition for the Mauser rifies.

In addit'on to the ativice of these o iclala the President is daily being besieged By callers and :elegrams from pub- lic men who are pleading with him to call out the volunteers. The belief is expressed at the War De- partment that the desire for the. cajl of the volunteers is being voiced by pub- lic men solely for the purpose of providing commissions for influential men. Gen. Otis has expressed his opinion that hé can deal with the situation with 30,000 men. Secre- tary Alger has promised him that he shall have this number and that his army ehall consist of the flower of the regulars. In view of «hese statements from Gen.

BEx-Premier of Austria Dead. tion April %.—Ba-Premier Gertach- MAYOR'S SLATE WILL WIN.|° LIST OF APPOINTEES GIVES “THE PUSH” A SHOCK. It Embraces Friends of the Gang, a Few Enemies and a Democrat or Two, All of Which Isa Bitter Pill. Only one topic was discussed at the City Hall Wednesday—the Mayor's slate. To say that it did or did not give. saiisfaciion would not be literally true. It does give both in spots. The probabilities of the list being con- firmed by the City Council] were considered bright by administration forces. It was said on excellent authority that the Fili- pino combination in the upper body had been’ broken by the desertion 6f President Meier. In support of this attention was called to the appointment of Cen. Neison Cole as Park Commissioner. This wus ihe greatest surprise of the occasi yn. Gen. Cole's name had not ftigured in any of the nnmerous lists of possible appoin‘ees and even Wednesday doubt was expressed as to whether he would accepr. It is hardly possible that Mr. Ziegenhein woulkd have named him without his full consent. The Mayor refuses 6 discuss the slate, and to all queries regarding Gen. Cole he asks back if the appointment is not a good one. Gen. Coie .served in the Council with Mr. Meier and a prominent administration member of the House of Delegates is the authority for the statement :hsat Mr. Meier, heretofore a beliicose Filipino, requesied the apoointment, and having efecured it pledged his aid to put the siate through. There are too many unexpected names on the lists to gauge the Council’s action— too many private deals are suggested. A fight is certain in the confirmation of Dr- Max C. Starkloff for Heaith Commission- er, and of Hiram Lloyd for Building Com- missioner, ancient enemies of the combine. Wiliam M. Kinsey for Police Judge in the First District is expected to have trouble in getting through. ~It was over Mr. Kinsey that the Mayor's trouble with the Council started last fall, when his hame was sent in as City Attorney. A rocky road is also said to be in front of Edward Filad, named for Water Com- missioner. In addition to being one of the city’s best engineers, Mr. Holman, the present Com- missioner, is strong before the Council, and it was said Wednesday by a high city offi- cial that the Council would insist.upon Mr. Holman. Further backing ts accorded that gentleman through the influence of Presi- dent McMath of the Bureau of Public Im- provements. Méssrs. Colby and Holman rarely differed with the President and what legisiation the trio wanted usually went through the board and was indorsed by the Assembly With both of his supporters out of the board, Mr. McMath will be practically alone, and those that have felt the triumvirate’s power, notably Mr. Milner, will not be slow in taking adyantage of the turn in the long iane., Mr. Milner is expected Mr. Varrelmann is said to be an engineer of acknowledged ability, and in. addition has the experience of 25 years’ work in the departmeng of which he is to be the head. Under Mr. ilner he was superintendent of construction and is warmly praised by his present euperior. It is said at the City Hall that his is the best of Mr. Ziegenhein’'s appointments, although it will create no end of disgust emong the faithful. There were strong ‘“‘kickers’’ on Mr. Varrelmann Wednesday, but they must be harmless. **Damn-the-State-of-Mistouri’’ Price and his right bower, H. H.

Followers of the Chieftain Surgeda Upon the Deck to Grasp the Hand of the Man Who Has Defied the Mazet Investigators. NDBW YORK, April 2%.—Richard Croker eailed for England at 10 o'clock this morn- ing on the American liner New York. Speaker Thomas B. Reed sailed on the game ship. Mr. Croker considers Mr. Reed one of the nicest men he ever met and likes to listen to his stories. Mr. Croker engaged a special suite that cost $550. It is No. 7 on the port side of the promenade deck. It is furnished in light oak and blue plush. The gsulte consists of a bedroom, sitting room and bath room. In the sitting room is a lounge hidden by heavy blue curtains a little buffet and a writing desk. The entire suite is no larger than the average sized bedroom in a flat. but it is about four times as large as an ordinary stateroom, such as is occupied by Mr. Reed, who is a much larger man than Mr. Croker. Mr. Croker’s sister and niece occupy a a together below his suite on the saloon eck. Just before sailing Mr. Croker was asked if the story that O. H. P. Belmont had tried to bring about harmony between him and Wm. J. Bryan was true and he replied that no such thing had occurred. Mr. Bryan is a nice enough fellow personally,’’ he sald, “but his 16 to 1 idea won't do. I don't believe Democrats should be shut out of their party for not accepting it. In 1900 the platform should be anti-trusts and a tariff for revenue only. “My idea regarding the Philippines is that we should subdue them so as to show the inhabitants that we own the territory and then turn the islands over to the in- habitants and let then govern themselves. But I would not be opposed to trading the islands off for Canada or a-part of it or the British West Indies.’’ When the Tammy chief reached the pier half an hour before the big liner pulied out of her berth, he was met by a party of friends who had come down to say ‘“‘bon voyage.’ ‘Mr. Croker was all smiles and he nodded pleasantly to as many as caught his eye. hen, flanked by his immediatéd advisers, he moved toward the gang plank.

NEED OF SMALL BILLS. Roberts Explains That the Shortage Does Not Mean Lack of Money. NDW YORK, April 2.—United States Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts, who js on a business trip to this city, in talking last night of the scarcity of bills of small de- nominations throughout the country, said: ‘This back of small bills !s due in some rts of the ccuntry to the fact that the nkers don’t take the trouble to send in their bills of large denominations an] gvt small ones in exchange. This is the cuse nearly everywhere except in: the larger cities of the East and in the Northwestern tates. In the Northwest there has been such a wave of prosperity during the last ae years that the bankers and merchants ve had no occasion to send their money East, as they did in previous years. They are rich enough to keep their money at home. “The reason we cannot issue the smaller Dilis as fast as the bunkers want them is ause we are restricted by law. The law allows us to issue only $346,000,000 in United tate notes, and the silver certificates are restricted by the number of standard dol- ars neld in the treasury. We are now printing only smal! bills and have a big supply on hand, but cannot issue them be- cause of the restrictions. So the only re- course for the banks that want small Dilis is to wend in large bills in exchenge for In the ten sub-treasuries throughout the oh ak there is now $242,000.00 in id, but only $18,000,000 in paper. Although there is a shortage of smal) bills in circulation, the treasury was never richer in funds than it is at the present time.” SOLDIERS AS FIREBUGS.

VERY BITTER IN INVECTIVe. TELIS THE JURY THE STORY OF HIS CLIENT'S FALL. The State’s Attorney Comes In for a Share of Denunciation for His Part in Attempting to Fix the Crime on Mrs. George. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispafcb. CANTON, O., April %.—The old Latin motto “Of the dead nothing but good, was fairly set at defiance by Mrs, Anna E. George’s attorney. The memory of Presi- dent McKinley's brother-in-law, George D. Gaxton, was heaped with fires of bitter- ness in the summing up of the defendant s lawyers. From the pathetic and tearful story of this beautiful womans downfall che argument turned swiftly to the person- ality of Saxton. And it is many @ day since the walls of Stark County's courthouse echoed back such: shafts of tirade and with- ering sarcasm. The vocabulary of invec- tives seemed fairly exhausted Monday in the speech of Mr. Grant for the State. For five hours Lawyer James Sterling classed Gaxton as the embodiment of ail that was evil. Nor did he fail to deal hard thrusts to Mr. Grant, who was Saxtons closest friend. iMr. Sterling was once 4 Methodist preacher. Now he is a lawyer and an agnostic. His shysiaue is not imposing, but he has a high, broad forehead, indicative of un- usual mentality and a face cut in the clean, distinct lines of the cameo. His voice is not etrong, but it is clear. He lacks the dramatic force of ‘Mr. Grant, but he is bolder in his use of cutting phrases. He excels in bitterness rather than in sympathy, and indeed it was only the plain- tive appeal of the surroundings—the de- fendant weeping with her two sons by her side—that gave full effect to ‘Mr. Sterling's struggle for the sympathy. of the audience. This audience was the same old crowd of onlookers that have persistentiy attend- ed the trial for two weeks. More women were present than usual. ‘Many of them were well dreseed and attractive in ap- earance. Gome of them wept aloud as Mr. Sterling recited the history and arts ef the seducer. Their eyes turned with pitying glances to the woman who sat weeping before them. Mrs. George fairly broke down and at the end of the day was quite different from the bright-faced smiling woman who came to the courtroom in the morning. She wa smartly dressed. She wore a blue ana brown etriped silk waist, a dark blue skirt and a lace hat with two large wings. A feather boa was about her neck. She sat listless and unmoved while Mr. Sterling in a dry, lawyerlike way, went over the evidence of the State punctuating weak points here and there. She lifted her handkerchief to her face when he referred to the once happy home and the children, and finally she sobb aloud, her body quivering with emotion. Her eyes were red and tear stained at the end of the day, when she wearily turnea toward the long line of woman who were standing by the rail to greet her. Her sister, Mre. St. Clair, and her old aunt, Mrs. Brown, were convulsed with weeping for hours during the recital of the woman's wrongs. One of the jurors raised his handkerchief to his eyes in a halt sneaking way and was plainly affected by the story of a broken home. iMre. orge, in a mechanical way, told the Pog ay ong correspondent that she thought she had endured the strain better than her friends expected, and that her health was very ¢€ . The silly story that she had contemplated suicide in’ the event of her conviction was again denied. She said aiso that there was i he no truth inthe stories that she ad received any proposal of marriage during her imprisonment or trial, or that she had had offers to appear on the stage, or to write books. Indeed, the only offer _—_——_—————— ee ———— a ee et THE PROBLEM SOLVED. THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY TESTE Results of the Test in Various Forms of Dyspepsia. Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while a very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physi- cians as a very serious thing, and that no time should be lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent re- searches have shown that the most seri- ous, fatal and incurable diseases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indi- gestion. Diabetes is simply one form of indi- gestion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive organs. n Bright’s disease the albumen is not roperly assimilated. While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for the seeds of consumption. But the trouble has been “to find a remedy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia,” as it is notoriously ob- stinate and difficult to cure. This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of the new dys- pepsia cure in the medical world known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which, it was claimed, was a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble. Physicians, however, would not accept such statements without first giving the new remedy many tests and carefully ob- serving results. For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country, and with surprising and satis- factory results. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can honest- ly be claimed to be a specific, a radical, lasting cure for indigestion in the vari- ous forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on the stomach, too much bile. undue fullness or depress- ure aiter eating, and similar symptoms resulting from disordered indigestion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three years’ trial left no doubt as to their value, and they have recently been placed in the trade, and can be found at all druggists at the nominal price of 50 cents per package. No false claims are made for the rem- edy. It will not cure rheumatism, pneu- monia, typhoid fever, nor anything but just what it is claimed to cure, and that is, every form of stomach trouble. No dieting is necessary; good, whole- some food and plenty of it, and you may rest assured that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it. Druggists claim for it that it is a pleas- ure to recommend it to dyspeptics, be- cause it gives such universal satisfaction. on stomach diseases sent ‘Sy re “ ee Tyee eter.

Mr. Sterling began by thorities on circumstantial medical authorities: on the phine. He then scored the State for suggesting that the defense admitted guilt when it in- troduced testimony as to the wrongs suf- fered by (Mrs. George. Then, changing t another actor in the drama, he said: ‘M1: Grant eaid that Mr. George TD. Saxton was a prominent citizen of Canton, I admit it, but he was not prominent in anything that was noble, pure or good. He was the son of J. A. Saxton, and the brother-in-law ot President McKinley. He was rich. He never legitimately called a woman his wife. though he often registered thus’ with women under his own or assumed names. He never acknowledged a legitimate off- spring. We was a deliberate, designing libertine and seducer. ‘(Happiness fied from the home of the defendant when George D. Saxton entered. Discord, sorrow and pain entered her fam- lly. There could be no such thing a@s a home in our land if all men were like Sax- ton. He diel with his feet on the steps leading to the house of a woman of shady character. He defied public sentiment and Christian civilization and he was a disgrace to his sisters and his relatives. ‘tHe must have died unwept gave that his relatives wept for the manner of his death. Truly, as Brother Grant says, he was 4 prominent citizen. Let ue hope that he was the most prominent citizen in his line in Canton.”’ Mr. Sterling paused and continued in an impressing manner, as if weighing every word: ‘The death of George D. Saxton was a public benefaction. The atmosphere of Canton is purer because of his death. The fair sisters, daughters and wives of Can- ton were made safer by the flight of his spirit. I do not justify the taking of human life unless it be for the pub- lic good and safety, but to my knowledge there has never been a jury in this coun- try that has found a verdict of guilty upon the man who has taken the life of the de- stroyer of his home.”’ Turning to the Assistant Prosecutor, Mr. Grant, Mr. Sterling folded his arms and said: “Brother Grant, your friend was a rominent citizen of Canton, prominent for is vices and wrongs, for his contempt of gg decency, for his disregard of all that s noble, pure and upright. “Sample C. George was a carpenter, a home builder. He earned a living by the Sweat of his brow. He had a little fam- ily, a wife and three children. On a dark day in his life he moved into that den of vice, the Saxton Block, which was domi- nated over by that prominent citizen, George D. Saxton. Saxton had plenty of money and nothing to do. By his money, his guiles and his smiles he stole away the heart of Sample C. George’s wife while the husband was away earning a living for his family. Until the serpent entwined his vile coils around the wife, the members of this little family were contented and happy. And then when the lust and passion of this flend were gratified he drove her away. “The appearance of Mrs. George upon the witness stand marked the first meeting of this family since 1889. They can never be reunited. When you remember that scene, consider that the cause was Mr. George D. Saxton, brother Grant’s prominent citi- zen, the man around whose brow Grant would weave a garland of flowers. Grant has been a prominent figure in this drama. He filed the affidavit upon which this much- wronged woman was arrested. He has been the dominating spirit of this prosecution. He has explained how Mrs. George could not get her goods from the block, goods she had got from her mother and her old home. “That Saxton met his death that way is not surprising. A man that traveled the road he did was bound to meet his fate. There ie no telling how many _peowe de- sired vengeance upon Saxton. That more natural than that somebody who desired to reap vengeance upon him would regard this as a r opportunity to accomplish that work and throw suspicion upon this defendant? The man who destroys the home ise an enemy to society and humanity, and if such a one has met a just end you are not here to find a victim. You can afford to err by acquitting, but you cannot afford to err by convicting. “The mantle of George D. Saxton seems to have fallen upon James J. Grant. Oth- erwise he never would have made the an- nouncement that everybody knew Mrs. George Was guilty.”’ citing legal au- evidence and use of mor- The argument for the defense was taken up at thie point by the chief counsel, Mr. Welty. who spoke for an hour. He is a fine, vigorous speaker, as well as a most clever and resourceful lawyer. He talked in an easy, modest manner, reciting first the un- certainty of circumstantial evidence as shown in famous cases. He then turned to a picture of a home as it should exist and followed to the downfall of Mre. George after she met Saxton. Mr. Welty said: ‘*There is nothing to me s0 pure and sacred as the home. There we find bonds of union, ties that are made not oniv for this world, but for the other “This defendant came to Canton the hon- est, unsophisticated wife of a country car- penter and finally they landed in that fa- tal Saxton Block. She was shopping one day in a dry goode store, when she was seen by George Saxton. That was the be- ginning of this story. He said. ‘That's a deuced pretty woman. I would like to get acquainted with her.” What wae his pur- ose? He marked her for his own that day. he was the novice and he the expert. He was constantly telling her that she had married the wrong man: that she wae en- titled to better things. For two long years this woman tried with all her strength to ward off his gradual] temptation. “They say he did not love her. Let us eee with what precision Saxton drove the chariot through this little home.’’ Here Mr. Welty read a number of letters from Saxton to Mrs. George while she was in South Dakota seeking a divorce. ‘Think of that cold-hearted wretch, send- ing the wife to the far West for a divorce when he knew that the limited means of the husband could not permit him to fol- low. “Eva Althouse—where is she?

ATTORNEYS BEFORE THE JUDGE Judge Spencer Investigated the Agree- ments Between the Lawyers and Found Them Satisfactory. Judge Spencer gave the Hercules divorce suit a remarkable turn Wednesday by or- dering Mrs. Hercules’ attorney, R. M. Nich- ols, to appear in court and tell why he withdrew from the case and refused t0 prosecute the petition. Mr. Nichols said he had become satis- fied upon a thorough investigation that his evidence would not sustain his allegations, “Come, Sister, speak the truth. Swear by the cross you werr." Sister Sophia was alarmed by Mrs. Her- cules’ violent manner, and shrank away from her in fear. Her hand was placed gently on her cross. The fear in her heart was gone in a moment and, looking into Mrs. Hercules’ eyes, Sophia replied softly, as a smile played on her lips: “I don’t remember.”’ The Hercules family are wealthy. Mrs. Hercules is a daughter of a prominent South Side family and Mr. Hercules lives on a large estate of which he is proprietor, near St. Charles, Mo. TIM MURPHY VERY ILL.

Kipling Said to Be Ashamed of His ‘‘Departmental Ditties.” NSW YORK. April %.—Rudyard Kip- ling’s suit for $25,000 damages against G. P. Putnam's Sons, alleging violation of copyright, came about from the publication by the Putnams of his “Departmental! SISTER SoPHIA-/ ~ NUNS IN THE HERCULES DIVORCE CASE. and decided that the best thing to do under the circumstances was to drop the'‘petition and keep his client out of court, in the hope that Hercules would procure a divorce on his cross-bill. He said he saw the de- fendant’s attorneys and told them he would not continue the case if they would not make any contest for the possession of the child, to which they assented. Judge Spencer was satisfied with this statement and told Mr. Nichols he might go. R. Lee Mudd, the defendant’e attorney, then took the witness stand and said he wished t oexplain away a cloud that Mr. Nichols’ statement had put on him. He de- clared that while he had assured Mr. Nich- ols he would not make a contest for the child he had done so with the qualification that the court would be left free to exercise its discretion in the matter. Judge Spencer assured Mr. Mudd that he would not be held to account ae trying to usurp the preroga- tive of the court in disposing of the custody of the child. The case was then taken under advisement by the court. As was told in the late editions of Tues- day’s Post-Dispatch a dramatic scene was enacted Tuesday afternoon during the hear- ing of the Hercules case. ro nuns, Sis- ter Perpetua and Sister Sophia, of St. Charles, were summoned to testify in be- half. of the defendant. They had nursed Mr. and Mrs. Hercules’ littie boy during his illness and had lived much with them. They knew a great deal about the plaintiff and the defendant and, upon their testimony, to a great extent, hung the issue of the case. Sister Sophia was the first witness. She told everything she knew about the home life of the parties and declared that Mr, Hercules had always shown himself to be a loving husband considerate of his wife's 1appiness and desiring to do everything pos- sible to promote it . She said she had never known him to do an unkind act and de- clared him to be a modél husband. At this time Mrs. Hercules, who had been forced to come into court by an order, con- trary to her wishes and plans, arose and asked permission to cross examine the wit- ness. Bhe was told to proceed. “You. say my husband was e6o kind and considerate to me. Don’t vou remember that when I wanted to see my sick little boy, Mr. Hercules forbade me that mother's leasure, say the child did not want © see me, and I should never touch it?’ “T don't re r,” repli ter mcome Sister,” shrieked~ Hercules, lu ome cited’ and ayeterical manner.

IN TS FOR THIS P@ST-DIS PATCH, “ “ars 4 lousew" CARPET CLEAN BR.+The following preparation is for cleaning carpets or drug- gets that are the worse from the soil and rease ground into them from service ina dining room or kitchen: Take one pound of white castile soap, one half gallon of rain water, two ounces of borax, two ounces of saltpeter and three ounces of aqua ammonia. Boil the soap, saltpeter and borax in the water far 10 minutes, then add the ammonia. Use as you would soap, but freeiy, in scrubbing or rubbing the soiled widths of carpets, rinse thoroughly, and rub as dry as possible. TO CLEAN LACE CURTAINS.—First shake the curtains until no more loose dust will shake off, then put them into a good, warm soap-suds and let them remain 24 hours. Now pour off the suds and put them into fresh, clean suds, each time squeezing the lace in parts when dipping it over anda over again, Do not rub the lace on a board nor pound it violently in the tub, but keep on renewing the suds and squeezing the fabric until clean, Now rinse in two clear waters, and finally in starch-water made by adding one gallon of moderately thick starch to one gallon of clear or bluc water. This process of starching gives a more even result than the ordinary method. Stiffly etarched curtains are never used now. nor is bluing commonly used—creaming tints being preferred. Curtains are more easily dried, of course, on regular stretchers, in lieu of which they must be shaken out, the edges all pulled out and shaped with the ngers, and then pinned down on sheets on he floor, a pin holding each acallop in its yroper place. Two curtains (if alike) may Be put down with one pinning, one over tne other. TO STOP CRACKS—To stop cracke in the flooring the following plan is recom- mended: Gather up all the letters from the waste-paper basket until there is a big bag full—enough to stuff a couple of sofa cushions. Set the edie or the willing mem- bers of the family to shred into bits the eee = —— -_——— oo —- paper harvest. This accomplished, pile the tatters into a pot with water and cook it. To every quart of paper and water add a handful of gum arabic and let the whole simmer to an intensely thick cream. The sequence is easily guessed. The mixture must be put hot in the cracks, well packed and carefully smoothed down. HOT TAMALES.—‘Hot tamales” is a Mexican dish consisting of a highly sea- soned chopped meat and corn mush mix- ture rolled and tied up in green corn husks and boiled or steamed from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. The proportion of meat and mush is half and half. The sea- soning? Anything or everything that Mex- icans love, or simply salt and plenty of pepper. In the Mexican recipes the sea- sonings include red or green peppers boiled till soft, chopped garlic, tomatoes, ground chillies, boiled eggs, olives, «raisins, cucum- bers, etc. The mush is made very rich by the addition of a cupful of melted lard added to the water in which the tamales are boiled. VBGETARIAN BEPFSTEAK, WITH MUSHROOMS.—Toast three small slices of bread, crush the edges and lay on a @ish. Put into a lined saucepan half a pint of milk, saltspoonful of salt and generous pinch of cayenne, mace and cloves; let come te a boil and add teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, pour over the toast and let gtand 15 minutes. Take up the bread carefully with a cake turner and slip into a pan of boiling fat. Lucca oil is best for frying these steaks, and if perfectly fresh will not taste in the least. When browned on ‘both sides take out of pan with cake turner, put on hot dish, drain all the fat from the pan and put in a cup- ful of milk; thicken with one well-beaten egz. While the steaks are frying broil in the oven half-pound of fresh mushrooms or half-can if canned are used. Put them on the steaks and pour the sauce over. Serve hot. This is a very delicious dish and will be preferred to meat for spring or summer breakfast. ~—o—o—_ o_o —__4 0 o_o o__0—¢ —————— o—o—_o—_o—_ 4 —_o—_4—_4 —0—- TUNNEL. ~ 7 We had very few in our quiet West one peculiarity we selves—we boasted vicinity, the longest England. I had been the parson for some dozen years, and localized ‘and acclimated by and believed in our tunnel. The parish, though small, was an extremely strag- gling one, and unfortunately this hill (or ‘“combe,”” as we Somerset folks called it) lay between the vicarage and a con- siderable portion of the parish. I too often found Highbridge combe in- tervened between myself an the sphere of my work. There were two generally used ways of overcoming this obstacle; either by a bold scaling of its heights or by fol- lowing a very circultous road which wound around its base. There was, of course, one swift, easy, but unlawful way of reaching the other side of the combe, namely, by walking thrcugh the tunnel, a feat strictly prohtbited by the rail MAY company. confess it with shame—the village parson, when he could do it unnoticed, not infrequently slipped through the tunnel when in a hurry to reach the outlying portions of his parish.

I looked at my watch: the express was due in half an hour.

When I recovered my senses and struck another match I found myself lying upon a heap of earth, and with an impenetrable block of debris in front of me. A portion or the tunnel had clearly fallen in. The way by which I had come was siill partially open, though a mass of masonry as well as of earth now blocked the road in front. I hastily stumbled along the nar- row pathway left between the heaps of fallen rubbish, trusting to. find this way out clear. In the far distance I could just distin- guish a gleam of daylight: then a sound ell upon my ears which caused my heart to stand still for a moment—the shrill whistle of the express; and, in another second, the distant speck of light was ob- scured. For some distance ahead the railway line alone was clear, the falling debris companhe’y blocking up the way on either side. Behind me was an impenetrable block of fallen rwbbish, in front—the train.

The people who built those cities and those works of art were full of ambition. No doubt the architects aimed to produce the most artistic and effective structures which the world had ever seen. They dreamed of enduring fame. Undoubtedly they wrangled among themselves, and some of them strove to climb by pushing others down. Whatever height they may have attained during their own era, their very names are unknown to-day and have been for thousands of years. The thought of such absolute oblivion ought to make us all feel how paltry and useless is every unworthy ambition—every No one can enjoy a pleasure with a neglected duty staring him in the face. aim which to attain means the sacrifice of principles or people.

For eléven innings the spectators were kept on the tiptoe of expectation, for from | the first ball pitched it was either side's game, and each team appeared to play with a confidence that seemed to promise vic- tory for its side. Although on the losing team Griffith was the bright, particular star of the day, and from first to last he showed admirable ceolness, great speed and wonderful com- mand of the ball. That his side lost was through no fault of his. Powell too, pitched a great game, and pens to Griffith the henors belong to | mi. The Chicagos, in chig game, appeared to wake u to want fo win, and from the first ball pitched they played like the Chi- cagos of old. It might be rank heresy to say that they deserved to win and that several decfSions of Umpire Warner did much to block thelr right of way, Dut the bleachers have al- ready spoken on that score, and their ver- dict was with Chicago. Still St. Louis won, and as in baseball as in war all things are fair, what mat- sore it how they won just so they got t e. No matter how it came, indeed {t was a lorious victory, and to Tebeau and his raves all the local fans must tip their t a. ‘There will be another game Wednesday afternoon, and Chicago may win it, but for the first time in many moons the Chi- cago Club must leave here with the bal- ance on the wrong side of their ledger in © far as their first series with the St. vis team is concerned. One accident marred Tuesday's game, which may have its effect on’ the playing ef the St. Louls Club tin the next few games. As Wallace was siiding to the Plate in his desperate attempt to score he tie run in the eleventh Inning. he col- lided with Donahue at the plate. dislocat- ing the little finger of his throwing hand. he injury is a most painful one, and it may keep Wallace out of the game for several days. If it does Tebeau will take his place at third and O’Connor will go to ret.

KENTUCKIAN PROVES A FAILURE The Colt That Brought So Much Mouey This Spring Has So Far Per- formed Very Poorly. — — The Kentuckian, the colt so much was paid for and heped for tI the early spring, appears to be a bitter disappointment or is being saved for the richer game which is near at hand. At Memphig on Tuesday he was a strong second choice for the Luehrman Hote! Stake, but he coukd do no better than finish behind Leeplanter and Sea Lion. The former carried 122 and Sea’ Lion and The Kentuckian were in. at 117, The dis- tance was one mile. The Schorrs' unbeaten colt, F. W. Brode, won again at MempHis without being ex- tended. He was at 4 ‘to 1 at that and won his race from a big field. Squire Abingdon was taken with heart in the fourth race at Aqueduct Tuesday, fell and broke his neck. The Squire was ridden by Johnny Morgan. the Indian joekey who used to ride at South e Park in the early days of that course. he favorites had the worst of it at New- port, but eat the other tracks they divided the honors. The Country Club Handicap, at a mile, will be the feature at Memphis on Wednes- day.

Schorr & Son will ship Algol Kast to fill his ewgagements in the Brooklyn and Sub- urban handicaps. Although Atkins & Lottridge are pressing their claim for the services of Jockey Claw- son, it is believed that there will be a com- romise and that the boy will ride for W. . Whitney, with whom he has signed. Kentucky Colonel and The Kentuckian, a brace of Western 3-year-olds from whom much was ex ted, ve been rank disap- ae thus far. And they are not ikely to be the only disappointments of the year. The stables at the Faftr Ground are fill- ing up rapidly and as early as next week Stable room there will be at a premium. ow Memphis thorses are ali expected in then. They say now the reason there will be no racing around Chicago this sprin that the people who own the groun which the tracks are located want too sash ground rent. The Lakeside track is owned by the Shedds and Robgs or Knickerbocker Ice Co. and the price asked for rental is away beyond the value, as indicated by the loss of $20,000 there last season. The Harlem track was rented last year for $30 for each racing day, this amount being exclusive of taxes and other charges. ‘This rental will have to be split before the racing associations will even look at a lease. This in a nutshell is the status of affairs in OCAicago racing matters to-day, and it does not require a very keen eye ta see that redns will not begin theré before June, lf at Ali. Col. Willlam L.

The most important boxing event of the St. Louis seasin will be brought off at the West BPnd Club thie Wednesdey night, when the midd@leweights, Jack Moffat of Chicago, and Frank Purcell of California, come together in a twenty-round bout. They are due to weigh in at 15 pounds at 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and each man will easily do the weight. Harry Gilmore, the veteran lightweight champion, has come all the way from Mem- his to second Moffat, and the veteran ack Wilkes will be his assistant in the ring. Homer Selby, Kid McCoy's younger broth- er, and Bob Douglas will likely be behind Purcell. George Siler, the famous referee and oth- ers, are expected here from Chicago to 6ee the mill, but Joe Stewart, the West End’s regular official referee, will likely Al) that all-important position, although there is some chance of Siler being selected. There will be only one curtain raiser this time, and that will be between “Kid” Page, the 1%-pound amateur champion of t. Louis, and Jack Christman, who has been after Page's scalp for a long time. The two are very evenly matched and a very lively — is looked for when they come to- gether.

In the very first round, with a left and two right smashes on the jaw Wal- cott floored Creedon thrice.

REVISED BILL ALREADY REPORT- ED IN THE SENATE. as Senator Major Discovers the Clever Plan and, for One, Will Fight Against Its Passage From Start to Finish. aD ses Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 2.—One stratagem resorted to in the present Legis- lature of Missouri whose object was ta se- cure the right to consolidate corporations, having failed because of exposure by the Post-Dispatch, friends of such legisiation are trying another, which, if it succeeds, will grant the largest privileges to street railway corporations. They will be per- mitted to consolidate as much as they choose; they will be granted the right of eminent domain and will have the right to condemn private property for rights of way and for depots, terminals and power-house sites. In other words, they willbe given precisely the same privileges and standing under the law thet steam railroads now enjoy: and there will be nothing to prevent a Brent Street Railway Trust in Missouri. The stratagem that is being employed now uses the Revision Committee as an in- strument. The measure which grants these powers to street railways is a part of re- vised bill No. 8, which embraces the chap- ter on street railways... As originally drafted the bill was intended to be intro- duced as a separate measure, as is shown by the markings on it, but its friends evi- dently feared so open a course. So they presented the bill to the Joint Committee on Private Corporations, with a request that it be considered and inserted in the revision of the chapter on street railways. Judge Priest of St. Louis apres re be- fore the joint committee for the bill, and after his argument it was reported to the joint Committee on Revis:on favorably. The joint Committee on Revision passed upon it favorably, although a minority op- posed it. It was reported to the Senate fa- vorably yesterday by Senator Morton, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Pri- vate Corporations. That part of the bill which enlarges the rights and powers of street railroads is as follows: Every Comperation formed under the pro- visions of this act shall have power, first: To construct or maintain and operate its railroad along, across or over the streets of any incorporated city or town or the roads of any county; provided, the consent thereto of the municipal authorities of such city or town or the County Court is first obtained; provided, municipal authorities of either cities or towns shall not grant the right of way over, along or across any street without the consent of the property owners owning a majority tn front feet of the property fronting on such street where such read is proposed to be constructed. Second, To operate its road by animal, ca- ble, electric or other motive power, as the consent of the use of which said power may be obtained from the public authori- ties of such city, town or county. Third, To receive and collect such fares for the transportation of persons, express and malis as may be provided in the said con- sent of said public authorities of such city, town or county, given as aforesaid. Fourth, To acquire by grant or condemnation a right of way not to exceed § feet in width over private property, and to construct or maintain and operate its read thereon. Fifth, To exercise the power of eminent domain to the same extent and in the same manner as steam railroad companies, whenever and wherever necessary to ex- tend or comnpiote its route or acquired de- pots, power-house sites or terminals. Sixth, To issue bonds payable in such amount and at such times and places as it deems best, and may dispose of the same for the pur- poses of its incorporation, and to secure payment of the same may mortgage its property, real and personal, and also the franchises of the company. Seventh, To purchase, lease or acquire by other law- ful contract, which shall include the right to purchase the capital stock and bonds of other street railroad companies, and to hold and dispose of the same, and to hold. use and operate any street railroad or roads, wit and singular, its, or their, franchises and ,properties of every descrip- tion belonging to any other street railroad corporation or corporations; provided, that such purchase, lease or other contract be authorized or approved by the vote of the holders of two-thirds in amount of the cap- ital stock of the company so purchasing, leasing or otherwise contracting therefor at a meeting called for that purpose upon 2 days’ notice published in some newspa- per of the city or county where the gez- eral office of such street railroad company may be located, or by written notice mailed to the last known address of each regis- tered stockholder 20 days before such meeting. Eighth, To sell, lease or dispose ef by any other lawful contract, to any other street railroad company, its rallroad rights, franchises, including the right to be a corporation, and all and singular its other properties of every character and description; provided, that such sale, lease or other contract disposing of its railroad, franchises and other properties shall be first authorized or approved by the vote of two-thirds in amount of the holders of its capital stock at a regular or called meet- ing of its stockholders convened pursuant to such notice, as is required tn the next receding clause. Ninth, To have and en- oy all such powers and franchises as are usually had, enjoyed and exercised by street raflroad companies in addition to the powers hereinbefore enumerated.

Chief Wilkie Gays That the Intended Arrests Have Been Made, but the Seizure of Cigars Continues All Over the Country. PHILADDLPHIA, Pa., April 2%.—Secret service men now estimate that $400,000 worth of fraudulent revenue stamps were used by Jacobs and Kendig, the tobacco manufacturers under arrest for complicity in the great counterfeiting scheme. The books of the Jacobs’ factory, so far as ex- amined, already show, by difference be- tween the number of cigare manufactured and the number reported to the revenue office, that the government has lost $126,000 ransactions in this factory alone. a Ai annual output of Jacobs factory was 23,000,000 cigars, and of Kendig's factory 100,000. (During the four and a half years in which the counterfeit stamps were used almost exclusively the number of cigars manufactured exceeds 103,000,000. Allowing 3,000,000 stamped with genuine stamps it required 2,000,000 “SO” stamps before the product could be sold. The internal revenue on manufactured cigars is $3.60 a thousand.

In addition to this large usage of the counterfeit stamps, it is the belief of the revenue officials and the secret service men that other manufactur- rs may have been in collusion with acobs and Kendig and may have bought their stamps. Kendig was brought to Philadelphia :hjs morning and before his depe ‘ture, speak- ing of the alleged connection of former United States District Attorney Ingham and his law partner, ex-Assistant United States District Attorney Newitt, witn the scheme, said the last bribe money paid out was to those two, ani that the amoun; was $3000. lt was divulged to~lay that W. M. Jacobs the alleged chief of the counterfeiters, had ‘made an unsuccessful attempt to bribe -tanother Deputy Internal Revenue Collector ‘before approaching Collector Downey, who Was arrested Mondaey. Aldus C. Herr, formerly a clerk for Jacobs, became 6us- picious that everything was not right and resigned. A year later he was appointed @ deputy collector. Jacobs then called on him and asked if any secret service men were in Lancaster, and proposed that Herr should keep him posted as much as possible of their purpose. The officer said: “Mr. Jacobs, you must remember I am @ eworn officer of the law.” That ended the episode so far as Jacobs was concerned, but ‘Mr. Herr reported nis euspicions to the Collector and then learned that Jacobs was under surveillance, Bamuel B. Downey, Deputy Collector of ‘Interna! Revenue, who was arrested in Lan- easter on Monday, charged with power tes og in the counterfeiting case, has contessed. ond admitting that Downey had told of part in the great case, the officers re- use to discuss the confession.

The bail of $10,000 has been re- newed, oseph KR. Grundy again being surety. Chief Wilkie and his men are busily en- gaged in getting into shape the great maas of evidence to be used at the hearings and the trials. This task is really monumental and will require the individual attention of the chief and his assistants for some time ,to come. Chief Wilkie will remain in this icity for the remainder of the week, person- oy directing the compilation. Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Mil- an of this district says that 10,000 more Cigars bearing bogus stamps of the Jacobs Sang have been seized here. Not a section ef the city in the district is being exempted frim the rigid search of the revenue offi- cers. Even Chinatown will be invaded and the Celestials made to show their cigar boxes to the prying officials. ,, Chief Wilkie of the Secret Service says , that there will be no more arrests. He Miates that the arrest of Ingham and Dow- an ( ended the case in that particular. telegram from New York says that Kendig and Jacobs are mentioned in con- nection with Theophile G. Dreyfus and her, whose methods were exposed in August, 1897, when scores of New York merohants charged that the firm had swin- died them out of goods valued at more than $0,00, It was stated that the firm bought "foods on credit, disposed of them at low Cash prices and did not pay their bills.

SO POLICE BOARD ORDERED TO KEEP WITHIN APPROPRIATIONS. PROBATIONARIES MUST GO. More Than One Hundred Men Are to Be Dropped From the Rolls Un- less There Is a Special Ap- propriation. Unless the Municipal Assembly comes to the relief of the Police Deportment with a liberal appropriation before Saturday more than 100 men will be dropped from the po- lice force and the present force will become so entirely inadequate that the department Can hardly be expected to cope with the criminals that infest the city. When the pay rolls for the current month reached City Auditor Mason Tuesday after- noon the total for the month amounted to $68,980. The amount appropriated monthly by the assembly is as follows: 1 Chief of Police 8S Captains 71 Sergeants 7,100.00 16 Detectives ou 685 VPatrolmen lt is thus seen that the pay roll for April was $1623.95 in excess of the appropriation. The pay of the 131 probationary patrolmen who are on the force was included in this ay roll, which actounts for the excess. “hat it was not larger is owing to the fact that enforced vacations were had. Tne City Auditor promptly sent to the Police Board, which was then in session, a communication stating that the pay roll would not be audited, nor would any pay rool in the future that footed up a greater amount than the $67,356.05, the. regular monthly allowance, be audited. *Heretofore the police pay rolls have al- ways been in excess of the appropriation the first months of the fisca] year, and has been balanced by enforced furloughs with- out pay during the latter end of the year. This excess is because of the fact that 131 probationary patrolmen at $60 per month are employed by the Police Department. There is no provision to pay for this num- ber. Provision is made to carry thirty-five probationaries to take the place of patrol- men off duty because of sickness or other causes. But their pay must come out of the fund regularly allowed by the assembly. When information reached the board that all the salaries would be withheld Dr. Fors- ter and Dr. kner were appointed a committee to wait on the City Auditor. This consultation resulted in the agreement to audit the present pay roll, but positive announcement was made that in the future no pay roll in excess of the regular appro- priation would be allowed. Police officials say this is a severe blow at the efficiency of the police and it will be several months before a remedy can be found unless the Municipal Assembly comes to their relief with an emergency ap- propriation by the end of the week. The new police bill, which provides for an in- crease in the force and funds for payment, will not become a law until ninety Gaye after the Legislature adjourns. In the meantime more than 100 probationaries will be beheaded. Chief of Police Campbell takes the situa- tion philosophically and says the depart- ment will have to get along the best it can. ‘“‘There is no provision by law for the pres- ent number probationary patrolmew we are carrying,”’ said the chief. ‘““‘These men were appointed by former boards and the present board has tried to retain them be- cause we needed the men. All that we can do, if relief be not forthcoming, is to re- duce the force. The probationaries must . There is no hope for them. But it will ie the force greatly.

Probationary Patrolman Morris Sil¥erman, who distinguished him- self for bravery by rescuing an aged couple from a wburni building, is sure to be among the thirty-five who will be retained.

Nicholas Crowley Spent His Fortune and Is Prosecuted by the Woman He Married. Two years ago Nicholas Crowley, who was then only 21 years old, came into a fortune of $10,000. He married, was dis- owned by his people, spent his money and now he is in prison, with his wife as the prosecuting witness. Crowley was arrested early Tuesday morning. His wife, who lives in a resort on Chestnut street, near Twenty-first, and who is known by the name of Grace Bloc says he came there to demand money and a disturbance was raised. Both were ar- rested and cross charges of disturbing the peace were preferred against them. The evidence was all against Crowley and Judge Peabody fined him $100 and discharged the woman. On his wae to the cell Crowley bemoaned his fate. \His relatives had all deserted him, he said, but he could not blame taem. He had done wrong. “Two years ago I got my money,” said. ‘I spent it like water. I became a ‘hop’ fiend.

The Mayfield Sanitarium will give its sec- ond annual graduating exercises of its training school for nurses Thursday even- ing at 8 o'clock. An interesting programme will be rendered. A cordial invitafion is extended to all friends of the institution to attend. An instructive closing lecture on “Hygiene and Philosophy"’ was delivered by Dr. Spooner of 317 Washington boule- vard Tuesday night. HE IS “HELD FOR THE CHIEF.” Dr. Frank A. Goodwin, Who Says Ue Is a Dentist, Arrested. Dr. Frank A. Goodwin, who says he is a dentist, is “held for the Chief,’ a prisoner at the Four Courts. He was arrested in a saloon at Nineteenth and Olive streets, Tuesday night by Detectives Killian and Tucker. The police had word that Goodwin had left Hot rings and was on his way to St. Louls. They say he is suspected he The indications are that when = ex- amination of the books of Roland Quentin, the missing Secretary of the Eagle Boat Store Co., is completed, the shortage will be found to be heavy. Capt. Henry Leyhe, the general manager of the company and one of the stockhold- ers, says the examination, so far as it has gone, shows discrepancies and apparent shortages aggregating $10,000. The -books are in such bad shape that the examina- tion will not be completed under a month or six weeks. There is no telling what may be developed by that time. Manager George S. Derrickson denies that the examination has so far shown any- thing conclusive except that the books are in a terribly tangled condition and there are apparent shortages. He declines to make any estimates in advance of the com- pletion of the examination. The company is paying the penalty -of too great trustfulness. Quentine came here from Milwauk®@e. He is a son-in-law of Commodore Herold, one of the stockhold- ers of the company. Such confidence was felt in him that nobody éver thought of uestioning his books or looking at them. e was not even under bond. When he disappeared three weeks ago no suspicions were aroused, It was suUp- posed he had gone away for a short trip, although it was thought a little strange that he had not notified the company. When at the end of two weeks he did not return, it was necessary to get a new man to look after the books, and it was then discovered that they badly confused. An expert was employed, and the deeper he went the greater became the confusion. Mr. Derrickson says the simplest way for Quentin to have brought about a shortage would have been to fail to credit accounts which were paid and put the money in his pocket. An attempt is now being made to ascertain what foreign accounts have been paid and what have not. It is not believed there is much irregularity with the city accounts. Tuesday the Merchants’-Laclede Bank notified the company that Quentin had ob- tained $1500 from the bank on a note which he signed as Secretary and Treasurer of the company. He had auerhy to do this, and it is probable the bank will try to hold the company responsfble. Officers of the company have heard noth- ing of Quentin’s whereabouts. They do not know whether he is living or dead. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ADJOURNED. New OfficersSelected by the Grand \ Commandery.

The reason for this is that nowadays people use their brains more than they formerly did, and are also more subject to neryous troubles, which are the direct cause of headache. Too much brain work takes needed nerve force from the heart and stomach to the head, thus retarding the circulation and derang- ing digestion. The body is not fed —the nerves rebel. Sleep becomes a stranger. Loss of appetite is fol- lowed by a tired body and a tortured brain. You need rest. You know it, but—you haven’t time. Dr. Miles’ Nervine will give you the rest you need. It is for the man or woman whose digestion needs help, whose brain is overworked and whose vitality isimpaired. It gives recuperative capacity to the organic functions of the system and is a speedy remedy for nervous troubles of every description. “Permit me to add my testimony to the thousands who have praise for Di Miles’ N twenty ycars the cake into the bright colors.

MANILA, April 2%.—Many acts of gal- lantry by American officers and soldiers marked the movement of MacArthur's di- vision on Calumpit. It fought its way to the Filipino trenches, mostly through moods and jungle, and crossing the Bagbag er. After fording the river, the South Dako- tans pursued the insurgents to the out- MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE, April 26. This morning's markets were again repponsive to bearish influences, “showing considerable weakness immediately after the opening, though there was no change in future prices over night. July wheat and May corn both opened unchanged. Wheat weakened on the first selling and dropped quickly to %c below yesterday's close. Corn remained firm at the opening, largely because of lack of trading. The market In oats was again featureless. The weather—Thunderstorms to-night or Thurs- Gay; Stationary temperature. The barometer is high between the Mississippi River and the At- lantic Coast and lowest over the Northwest Terri- tory, extending southward to Kansas.

This attempt was a failure, but a span of the iron railway bridge over the river was destroyed, ham- pering the American transportation for some time. The Filipinos cut the girders, intending to have the structure fall with the train, but it collapsed prematurely of its own weight. The Bagbag River, which is about 100 yards wide at that point, was splendidly fortified, and the Americans were com- pelled to approach an open space from which the rebels had cleared every ob- struction to sight. The bank of the river, a high bluff, was surmounted with trench- es, capped with rocks, loopholed and part- ly hidden by bushes. Gen. Wheaton’s brigade approached the river slong the aaa em leaving camp be- yond Malolos City. Gen. Hale was earlier on the march and sweeping westward to- ward the railroad. The armored train was being pushed by Chinamen, the Twentieth Kansas Regiment advancing in an ex- tended order on the left and the First Mon- tana Regiment, with the Utah Light Artil- a” on the right. e rapid- arfaae guns on the train opened at 11:30 a. m., about a mile from the river, their popping alternating continuously with the boom of the six-pounders. The Montana Regiment and the Utah woke gal | batteries at the same time en- tered e jungle from which the insur- gents, who were occupying a large, strag- gling village, poured heavy volleys. In the course of an hour the Americans had forced a passage through the woods to the open space in front of the river, and the artillery, immediately naa into the open, began shellin the Filipino trenches. At this point in the advance meen kK, | Twentieth Kansas. led by Ca Belt wood, performed one of the most br lant achieve- oats of the campaign. The regiment was being held in reserve, and Company K oharged a distaricoe of a quarter of a mile over a oorn-field to the bank of the Bag- bag River, near the bridge, where the in- surgents from a trench were peppering 4 armored train, then about 200 yards. back down the track. The bridge had been cut to stop the armored train. The company fo mand shelter in, a ditch. Col.

While this was going on the men of Com- pany K from the ditch were fusillading the trenches in the endeayor to divert attention, but the Filipinos got the range from a trench down the river, and their bullets yoda spattered the water under the struc- ure.

ANTON Thrilling Tragedy in an Open Field Viewed by Other Farmers at a Distance, Who Could WNot Reach the 6cene. Benjamin Love, a prominent young farm- er,-and Anton Sohaefer, a° farm hand, fought a desperate duel with pitchforks near O'Fallon in St.. Clair County Tuesday evening. Schaefor was killed. Love fled and has not been captured. Love is a son-in-law of Henry Obernue- fermann, one of the most prominent farm- ets in the O’Palior community. Schaefer was in Ris employ. Tuesday afternoon Love and Schaefer drove to the Bertram farm, three miles west of O'Fallon, for a load of straw to spread over a potato field. The strawstack was in a field some dis- tance from the Bertram house. The men had the wagon about half loaded when a quarrel arose between them. Nobody knows positively what caused it, The supposition is that a dispute arose about the work, but there are hints of a graver cause. They were seen from a distance to rush upon each other with upraised pitchforks. For several moments they struggied, thrusti pa and siriking, each } om ay y trying, either with murderous —e or with the instinct of self- -preser- lon, to give the other a death wound. it was Love who was first able to break down his adversary’s defense. He thrust the tined weapon at Schaefer with all his might. Schaefer sank to the ground, his pitchfork falling from his palsied hands. Love threw his pitchfork down and ran wildly away. He was seen, still running, to snipe a strip of timber, and nobody has seen him since. The people who hurried to the straw stack in the middle of the field found Schaefer ° unconscious where he had fallen. wi his life bloo pininine. ore son the yellow straw. Before he co removed he died. Sheriff Hermann Barnickol of Belleville was notified by a mounted messenger eariy Wednesday morning. He left immediately for the scene of the crime and igs in pur- suit of the fugitive. Coroner Schildroth went to the Bertram farm. later in in the day to hold the inquest.

There Will Be an Outpouring of Peo- ple From Missouri and Illinois to See the Warship. Plans upon various lines are being fur- nished for the entertainment of the officers and even the crew of the Nashville when they arrive in St. Louls next month, A call has been issued for a meeting at the Mcr- cantile Club Gaturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at which representatives of the club, the Merchants’ Exchange, the Business Men's. League and a committee appointcd by the Mayor will confer regarding an ap- propriate demonstration of welcome on thé part of the City of St. Louis. As early in the proceedings as now ‘he li:- dications are that the week of the Nash- ville’s stay in St. Louis harbor will eclipse in the point of crowds and a general nuli- day aspect the familiar ‘‘fair week,”’ waich is a synonym for an over- thronged city. Special trains will be rum to St. Louis by all the railroad lines, and ile Upper Missis- sippl steamboat lines will likewise do an excursion business, A real cruiser, and more especially one which iias taken part in a war between the United States and a for- power, to say nothing of the ship which fh fired the first shot of the wur wita Spain, is a sight worth going miles to see The commander of the Nashville will not be given cause to regret Secretary Long’s orders to proceed up the Mississippi to St. Louls. All the gray hairs which may ac- cumulate in Capt.

The Mercantile Club is the first of Bt. gzance of the coming of the Nashville. he Board of Directors has framed an invita- tion to officers and crew to make the club their shore headquarters and also to help themselves to anything they want in the club pantry.

So far the Nash¥ille has met with only the warmest of welcomes by ‘the cities along the lower Mississippi. She arrived at Vicksburg Tuesday afternoon. She was met by an excursion party on the Belle of the Bends, which carried a detachment of the Warren Light Artillery to fire the salute. The tug Joe Seay, leading the way, escorted the Nashville to the city from a point about five miles down the river. Hundreds of people took advantage of the excursion to meet the cruiser and as the war vesse] neared the city she was viewed by thousands from shore on the hills, tops of bmildings and other points of vantage. Lieut. Pickett Magruder of the Nashville is a Vicksburg boy. He arrived in the city by rail Monday night, and his wel- come home after an absence of three years was most cordial. Lieut. Magruder par- ticipated in the capture of the Buena Ven- tura, the cable cutting at Cienfuegos and other events of the war. A reception in honor of Lieut. Magruder and other officers of the Nashville was held Tuesday night at the Carroll House. Vicksburg’s new opera house will be open Wednesday night, honor of Lieut.
