PARIS, June 5.—The crowning act of the _ anti-Dreyfusards was commited yesterday when a Royalist assaulted the President of is modest in bearing and speech and bears ’ France and struck him a blow on the head | with a cane in the presence of thousands of people The assault was made at the Au- tenail race course and the blow was struck by Count de Christiani, who is a son of an ‘old General of the Empire. Strangely enough, one of the leading participants in the anti-Loubet demonstration was Count- ess Castellane, whose voice was heard join- ‘ing in the shout, “Down with the Repub- Ny President Loubet was uninjured, and re- ceived many visitors to-cay at the Elysee. he incident will be taken up by Par.ia- ment at once, as severa) deputies were en- gaged in the shameful! scene.

Three girls, weary of the ways of sin, attempted to end their lives Sunday night. Each was 19 years old. The suicidal im- pulse came to each at almost the same time. Bach took a dose of morphine. All three were sent to the City Hospital and arrived there at almost the same time. The lives of all three were saved and all three have gone back to the ways of sin. Im each case the cause was the same, eeparation from a man and disgust -with the life of the outcast. Two of the girls, In spite of their youth, have left innocence far in the past. The third is a pretty mystery. She has jsed an unchaste Mfe only a short while. She none of the traces of dissipation. Two weeks ego this girl was taken to a Chestnut street house by a slender, well- | dressed young man. She was known there as Grace Snields. Sunday night she had a quarre] with the young man and he left the house. The girl took morphine. An am- bulance was called and she was sent to the City Hospital ‘The e6tomach pump saved | her. Monday morning she was as well as she could expect. The young man called and they talked earnestly. She was reproachful. He made protestations, Finally her face brightened and she seemed to acquiesce. He went away. ‘| have sent for some clothes,”’ she said. The young man came back, bringing a blue shirt waist. She put it on and tae two left the hospital together. She smiled a good-by to the attendant. The young man went out with his head thhung low. At the door she had refused to tell any- thing about herself, as she had when the doctors hhad questioned her. As che passed out of the gate she «aid to her companion, “We will take the Olive street car.”’ But they didn’t. They walked to Pine street, west to Twenty-first, and back to the Chestnut street house. The girl lookd even younger than 19. She is a brunette, has round cheeks and a fresh complexion and a look of modesty. All the hospital attendants commented on her ladylike demeanor. Pauline Hammond has been living two weeks in a flat on Clark avenue with a jockey named Albert Tralby. His father asked the police to help him get the young man awoy. They told Albert they would arrest him if he was caught at the flat again. Sunday night he went away. The girl brooded two hours, then @ehe took @ smal] revolver, held it to her bredst and fired. The ball passed under her arm She faint- ed. When she revived she took morphime. The woman in the next fiat heard the shot and called the poiice. They sent \Pau- line to the hospital and her life was saved, When she got back to her flat Monday her pocketbook, coniaining $14.75, had been taken from a drawer of her dresser. She had to borrow a dollar to pay the cabman. She was weeping when a reporter went to the flat, and threatened to finish the work of self-destruction. Pauline’s husband, Charles Hammond, was sent to the penitentiary a month ago for stealing a typewriter. May Wilson, alias Fleming, has been liv- ing on Lucas avenue.

The first move in the fight against the new police bill passed by the last Legis- lature will be made Tuesday afternoon, when the Ways and Means Committees of both branches of the Municipal Assembly confer with Comptroller Sturgeon on the g<neral appropriation bill. The City Comptroller has been violently opposed to the measure since its inception, and stated Monday that he beileved the Assembly would stand by him. The requests of the various departments are slightly in excess of last year, but Mr. Sturgeon says they are seasonable, con- sidering the growth of the city and the natura: increase In expense. he Police Department asks the appro- priation of last year and $600,000 additional to earfy out the provisions to carry out the provisions of the new law. Mr. Stur- geon says he will urge that the commit- tees refuse this request, and declares that to meet it would work havoc with the city’s finances and in so doing greatly pre- judice its credit abroad. Should hie efforts be successful and the Municipal Assembly. refuse the appropria- tion, the contest would become one of the State vs. the city through all the courts, to the Supreme Tribunal. The committees will meet the Comptroller in his office at 3p. m. Tuesday. LONGEST TERM GRAND JURY. This List of Jurors Will Be Required to Serve Four Continuous Months of Summer.

STRUCK BY A CABLE CAR Joseph Zieselir Received Injuries Which May Result in Permanent Paralysis. Joseph Zieschir, a cook, living at 1443 North Twentieth street, was struck and seriously injured by a south-bound Broad- way car at O'Fallon street Monday morn- ne. Zeischer came from South St. Louls on a street car, alighting at O'Fallon street. He started to the west side of the street. The gr-pman on the south-bound car did not see the man until he wags on the track. He released thecable and put on the brakes, but the momentum of the train | Was foo great to stop. Zelecher Was struck and rolled 10 feet before the car was brought to a standstill.

Albert O’Haver, who sometime ago laid siege to the hand of a pretty North St. Louis widow and achieved considerable no- toriety during the brief, but eventful court- ship, died in the City Hospital at 2 o’clock Monday morning. Not a friend was present to cheer his dying moments. During his illness ©’Haver was visited by Mrs. BE. F. Hudson of 224 North Ninth street, the woman whom he had asked to be his wife. That Mrs. Hudson did not become the wife of Albert O’Haver was due to @ fre- markable denouement that came just be- fore the wedding bells rang out. O’Haver was 30 years old, handsome and —_ ~~ ALBERT O'HAVER, accounted quite a lion among ladies. For awhile he was a freight conductor on the Missovri, Kansas & Texas Railroad. Mrs. E. F. Hudson was well fixed in this world’s goods, and conducted a large board- ing house on North Ninth street. O’Haver was installet as her star boarder in the summer of 1388. He spent money with a lavish hand. Freight conductors’ don't usually receive princely salaries and O’Hav- er was no exception to the rule. Hie claimed to have been injured in a rall- road wreck at Texas Junction, Mo., in 1896, and that he had compromised the suit, so he declared, for $3. Around his waist he wore a belt, wherein, he sald, he kept the big roll. His story was accepted without question, and the Widow Hudson thought it couldn’t be anything but true. Her friendship for O’Haver gradual- ly ripened into love and they agreed to unite for life. The ceremony was to have been per- formed November 2 by Dr. W. W. ve in the parsonage of the Second Baptist Church, O’Haver ordered from a dry goods house a gorgeous trousseau for his intended bride. He also selected all the household articies a young married couple might need, and without which they could not be hap- py. Mrs. Hudson assisted Albert in the shopping. The total bill amounted to over “Just send everything out to the house,” said Mr. O’Haver, as he bade the salesman good-by, ‘‘and the money will be forthcom- ing in a day or two.”’ But the salesman doubted whether O’Ha- ver had the money, so he went to the man- agement for advice. It was decided that O' Haver’s credit was not gilt-edged. Meanwhile the dashing widow and her flance had returned home. The afternagn passed and there was no sign of a delivéeiy Wagon at the house; It was 9 o'clock at night when the couple gave up hope. The wedding was postponed and the disap- pointed guests hurriedly departed. The next day O’Haver disappeared. Worry over his unexpected absence caused Mrs. Hudson untold anguish. Her nerves gave way under the strain and she was placed in care of a physician, Dr. Otto Claus, 2625 North Ninth street. A week later O’Haver turned up. He de- clared he had been the victim of a street car accident at Broadway and Howard Street. Bandages were tied over his head. He said he was struck by the car and re- membered nothing until he woke up in the office of a Dr. Johnson. His money, he safd, was gone. Where he had been mean- time he could not say. O’Haver said it was necessary to have an operation performed, and he wanted Dr. Clatis to assist. The latter readily ac- ulesced. At the appointed time “Dr. ohnson”’ telephoned Dr. Claus that the operation would have to be deferred. Dr. Claus was puzzled as to Dr. Johnson's identity. He could not locate him in the City Directory, nor would the mysterious physician give his addrg@s. Dr. Claus’ sus- picions were a:oused. t immediately con- cluded Johnson was no..c other than Albert O'Haver. Subsequently Dr. Claus jerked the bandage from O'’Haver’s head. No in- jury was vieible. Almost simultanenously the M., K. & T. official stated that O’Haver's story about recovering $3000 damages alleged to have been sustained in an accident was purely fictitious. Then came information that ©’Haver had an unsavory record in Hanmni- bal, Mo., and several Illinois towns where he resided. Mrs. Hudson refused to believe the ac- cusations against her betrothed. She de- cided, however, to wait. O’Haver insisted on the marriage, but was put off. Early in December he was arrested on a charge of stealing a coat. At the trial he was sentenced to six months in the Work- house. He was removed from there to the City Hospital on May 15. The doctors diag- nosed his case as acute consumption. O’Haver’s parents are said to be living in California. Haase’s Delight—tc cigar—try one. AT BISHOP ROBERTSON HALL. Commencement Exercises Were Begun by Bishop Tutfle.

The Military Hero Pays a Visit to His Parents. PARIS, June 6.—Major Marchand pro- ceeded to Thoissey, nine miles from Macon, last evening in order to visit his parents. mee —_—— & For points in jhe Southwest to the Gulf Sis Ss ia Da os ; he nt ana Special Deputies Will Be Sworn in to Keep the Peace Between Drunken Men From the City. A drunken man, who could not execute the figures of the dance according to the accepted style at Bartold’s Grove Sunday afternoon precipitated a row that ended in a pitched battle. The blows fell thick and fast for several minutes. Men and women were mixed up in a general pande- monium of raining blows, curses and cries of pain and terror. Officers, who tried to quell the disturbance, were overpowered until finally Constable Grenager, with his deput.es, and Manager Bartold in a united and determined eftort succeeded in clear- ing the grove and peace was again fre- stored. In the melee several persons were more or less badly injured. One woman received a severe blow in the,eye. ‘Many men were pounded and bruised and the deputy con- stable, it is gaid, was badly cut about the forehead. Monday morning complaints. were poured into Justice Hansman’s office regarding the outrageous conduct of Sunday and on pre- ceding occasions when there was any special attraction at Bartold’s Grove. Many of the Jeading residents of Maplewood and Edgebrook claim that the behavior of many of those who frequent the grove has gone beyond forbearance and threaten extra- ordinary proceedings unless there is 4 change. It is said that on Saturday and Sunday nights the air is made hideous with the sound of pistol shots and yells of drunken men, al] the way from Maplewood Station to Bartold’s Grove. Justice Hansman said Monday that he had given his deputies instructions to per- mit no lawless conduct at the grove and had always detailed men there on special oceasions. He said that he would sweat in an extra force of men to be stationed at the grove next Saturday and Sunday and would give them instructions to arrest any and all persons guilty of endeavoring to create any disturbance, ; Mr. Herman BEBartold said: “Yes, there was a little disturbance out here Sunday afternoon, but it was only a drumken row that is likely to happen enywihere at any thme. I do not know of any one that was hurt. Officers were here and they succeed- ed in restoring quiet in a )ittle while and after that all went smoothly. If a woman was hurt during the fight 1 know oothin about it. We endeavor to run a peacefu resort here and I will not permit a repeti- tion of yesterday’s proccedings.” Nearly every resident of Edgrebrook, which Hes between Maplewcod and the grove, is loud in this denunciations of the behavior of those frequenting the grove, and may urge that the place should aot be allowed to run. Mr. James Sutton, one of the wealthiest property owners of St. Louis County, said: “TI never heard of such atrocious conduct In a civilized community. It is getting so that people are afraid to venture out at night between Maplewood and Bartold’s Grove. Drunken men curss and yell and discharge their revolvers when returning froin the place until it has become a disgrace to the comniunity.’’ Mrs. Maria Schiffeistein, a property own- er of Maplewood is among those who made complaint at the office of Justice Hans- man. Mrs. Schiffeistein Monday confinmed all that had been stated by others. She stated that she had been requested by res- fidents of Edgebrook to inform Justice Hansman of the .eituation. These resi- dents, she claims,. assert that they. are often kept awake as late as 3 o’clock in the morning by the reports. of firearms and the yelling of ‘drunken men. She told Justice Hansman’ ‘that often. young siris were lured to the place and induced to drink intoxicating liquors. Mr. Gottard Smith said that he was at Bartold’s grove Sunday and was an eyé witness to the battle In which men and women were mixed up together indiscrim]- nately amid the storm of dust and falling blows, He did not know the names of any of the participants, as he said there was so much confusion it was difficult to de- termine who were the disturbers and who were the innocent parties, Many were struggling to get out who were not at all implicated in the row. He confirmed th statements of others with regard to the actions of those who patronize the place. TROOPS GUARD COURT-HOUSE. Bakers and Howards in the Meantime Wait for Each Other in Ambush, LONDON, Ky., June 3.—The Baker mur- der trial began at Manchester to-day. The troops sent to guard the courthouse are camped near the building, ready for action, Sentinels are on guard to keep the How- ards, Whites and Bakers out cf the town, The Whites and Howards also put ovi guards to pick off the Bakers if they at- tempt to enter town.

Judge of St. Clair County Expected to Take Oath in Support of His Alibi, Special to the Post-Dispatch. HARTVILLE, Mo., June 6.—The State is confidently eapecting conviction in the Fag- ley case on the jury’s first ballot. The de- fendant’s attorneys, who certainly are able in their profession, are handicapped by lack of evidence in their client’s behalf. Kennedy, the “quail hunter,” who was accompanied across Wright County by the defendant a day or two after the hold-up, occasionally appears-in the Courthouse and is watched by all eyes. He seems not af- fected, although the evidence in the Fag- ley case brings him into identification as much as it does the Douglass County de- fendant. Lewis Nye spends nearly all his time in jail and is non-communicative. He wants a change of venue, but there is now no chance of his getting it. Oscar Ray was only in jail a few days, being a “trusty,’’ and he is now out on bond. He was given $10 to get on the train and have it stopped near Macomb for the purpose of robbery. It is thought that he will make a confession when his case is called, and be given leniency by the court. Byrum, the confessor, will receive a nolle as a reward for turning State's evidence. Joe Shepard thinks much but says little and is quite unlike Wiliam Jennings (Bill Ryan), who is garrulous at the expense of his case. The duration of the cases is yroblematical, depending upon the verdict n the Fagicy trial About 200 witnesses are here, most of them ‘“‘camping out’ in the confines of the town. Kansas City is well represented with railroad officials, Pinker- tons and Kennedy witnesses. Ex-Judge Thomae Gill of. St. Clair County is in Hartville, presumably as a witness for Kennedy. He denies it, but the prosecution is watching his movements closely and seem disturbed. It Was on his farm that the gray horse upon which Kennedy rode out cf the county was found. Gill is said to have met Kennedy while he wae in jail at Kan- sas City last — for contempt of Judge Philips in refusing, as County Judge, to issue the levy to clear St. Clair County's debt. It is thought he will swear to Ken.- nedy’s alibi. The taking of the evidence in the Fagley case was continued this morning. Attor- new Orr was placed on the stand to prove the existence and validity of the raliroad and of the Southern Express Co. as corpora- tions. Confessor Byrum was recalied and again told the story of the robbery. ira Atkinson test.fied that he sold Fagley a horse for Kennedy. The testimony for the State will close to-day. * Haase’s Delight—sc cigar—try one, , Twelve Year Old Boy Missing.
