The above list of injured bears mute testimony; the noise #s additional evidence. The city 1s celebrat- ing the anniversary of the nation’s birthday and the grand achievements that have added to the country’s greatness since that Mataul day almost a century and a quarter ago0.- Fire bells are ringing, calling out the éverworked department to extinguish Fourth of July blazes, and city ambulances @re wearing onc their tires hauling the vic- tims of Fourth of July acciderts to dispen- saries. The Rainmaker and Storm King combined to celebrate to the great disappointment of the people who had made preparations for terrestrial noise-producing ceremonies in honor of their country’s natal day. A heavy shower broke over the city and eurrounding country at 10:30 a. m., consid- erably dampering the ardor of patriots on parade and plain people en route to pic- nic grounds. Sunshine followed a brief downpour and again the people sallied forth | to make merry and manufacture noise. But the sunshine was not of long dura- tion. At 11 o’aicck rain resumed business and kept at work steadily, albeit without much force until noon. At 12 sharp a ter- tific crash of thunder drowned the noise of earthiy explosions and a deluge of water as from a cloudburst was precipitated from the heavens. A peculiar fact about the weather was that the first shower came from the east, while the noor storm bore down upon the city from the west. There was little wind. but the rain came with fury and in great : oo See ty ndividually a collectively the people of 6.

PISTOL FIRED IN HIS FACE. Joseph N. Judge Received Severe and Painful Injuries. of Criminal Correction, was coming from his home on Gamble street on a Northern Central car Tuesday morning. At Seventh and Carr streets three men in a wagon drove bythe car. As they did so one of the men leaned forward and fired a revolver directly in Mr. Judge’s face. Mr. Judge cried out with pain, but thé three men laughed and drove on. The vic- tim was treated at the City Dispensary. His face was badly burned. CAN OF POWDER EXPLODED. Morton Bolen May Die From a Gash in His Throat. One of the serious injuries incldent to the day was that inflicted upon little Morton Bolcn, aged 14, of 65 Montrose avenue. Morton had a tin can full of gunpowder which he was using to load and shoot a toy cannon. By some means a spark fell into the can, causing a terrific explosion. The can struck the boy in the throat, cut- ting a deep gash from which blood flowed freely. An ambulance was summoned, but the boy could not be removed from his home and the physicians say he will prob- ably die. GORNELIUS MILLS BURNED. Fire at Sixth and Biddle Called Out Three Alarms and Did $340,000 Worth of Damage. Policeman Glynn, at 12:3) Tuesday, dis- covered emoke coming from the third story window of the building at 1119 and 1121 North Sixth street, occupied by the Cornelius Mill Co. and the Crescent Belting Co. He turned in an alarm from the nearest box. Before the department arrived the flames had spread from the third to the second floor, and before it could be fought effectively it descended to the first floor. hree alarms were turned in, owing to the many adjacent tenement houses, and after a stubborn fight with the flames for half an hour the firemen seemed to have them under control. The Cornelius Mill Co. handles yop ets and supplies. There was about.$40,000 wort of stock in the building, which was com- pletely destroyed. John Cornélius is president of the Cor- nelius Mill Co, Both firms were closed down for the day and nobody was on the premises. The amount of insurance could not be ascertained. The origin of the fire is not explained. It is supposed fireworks had something to do with it.

BANDANAS Two Masked Men Rob the Station | Agent of the Frisco Road at Lebanon. __- — LIDBANON, July 4.—At 2:0 a. m. to-day two masked men with red bandana hand- kerchiefs entered the Frisco Railway of- fices at this place by the side door, and, at the muzzles of two six-shooters, ordered night operator Arthur Jeslyn to put up his hands, which he promptly did. They next demanded the key to the safe, but when informed that it was a combination, in the possession of Agent Vangieson alone, they went to the money drawer at the ticket window, lifted two five-dollar bills that lay on the upper sliding shelf of the drawer and made hasty exit, leaving $20 or more in the lower part of the drawer. Mr, Joslyn thinks he recognized in the rob- bers two strangers who had been seen hanging about the depot all evening who SHE LEFT HER y BABY BEHIND, o Mrs. Edward W. Caskie’s Mys- terious Disappearance. CORRESPONDED WITH A MAN. DESERTED HUSBAND THINKS SHE IS WITH HIM. _————— The Suspected Lover Is Robert Albert, Who Knew Her When She Was a Girl—Her Brother Believas Her Innocent, Edward W. Caskie, a clerk in the employ of the Wabash Railroad, is hunting for his wife, who has mysteriously disappeared. Tuesday of iast week Caskte went to his office, leaving his wife at their home, 3009 Newstead avenue, in seemingly the best frame of mind toward him. In the evening he returned to find his house deserted. Both his wife and their 3-year-old boy were missing. Caskie went next door to Mrs. Flans- berg’s home and asked if his wife had told her when ehe expected to return, As the door was opened his little boy ran to nim. Mrs. Flansberg said that a messenger had called at the Caskie home in the after- noon. The message that he delivered seemed to excite Mrs. Caskie greatly., A few minutes later Mrs. Caskie came to Mrs. Flansberg and asked her to take charge of her little boy while she went downtown. This Mrs. Flaneberg did. Since then neith- er she nor Caskie has seen his wife. After receiving this information Caskie again made 4 search of his home for some message from his wife, but in vain. He found in an old trvunk,~however, notes to his wife, some signed “Robert Albert’ and some “Ju. ‘IT. Maffett.”” They were all in the same handwriting. In them the love of the writer for Mrs. Caskie was expressed. These notes jndicated that Mrs. Caskie had been corresponding with the writer. Caskie notified the police of the absence of his wife and also started on the track of Robert Albert, whem he kncws. He found that Albert had been in [§8t. Louis the week before but left for New Orleans Saturday. ; No trace of Mrs. Ceskie could be found and no information eog@ld be gathered ‘as to whether Albert was: in communication with her while he was in the city. Edward Caskie was:married to Nellie Marsh at Cape Girardeau eight years ago and as far as can be learned from friends and relatives of the contracting parties, everything has moved smoothly since. Grant Marsh of 7016 Virginia avenue, a brother of ‘Mrs. Caskie, said Tuesday morning: ‘My sister was never engaged to Robert Albert as has been stated, and was only in his company a few times. My parents did not like Albert and opposed my sister having anything to do with -him. “There never was any idea of marriage between them. In fact they were both so roung that until Caskie came along 1 doubt fe my sister had ever thought of matri- mony. “My parents, though they did not like MRS. EDWARD W. CASKIE. have since disappeared. Sheriff Shank and his deputies have taken precautions to head off the robbers. | JENNINGS INSISTS ON IT. He Issues Another Statement Declar- ing Jack Kennedy Innocent. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., July 4.—Bill Ryan, or William Jennings, has issued another statement declaring that the man Wright, or Davis, implicated in the Macomb train robbery was not Jack Kennedy, the quail hunter. eH explains how he first met Lewis Neigh, how the robbery was planned with Davis in the Neigh home, how Davis was unable to manipulate the captured lo- comotive and how he (Jennings) had to take the throttle. “I could mention many facts to prove this which the engineer would verify,’’ Jennings says, ‘‘for the air system was the latest im- proved, and the brake valve was a new one to me. So I got stuck and had to call the engineer to assist me. “T do not gain anything by making this statement.

BPRLIN, July 4.—Prince Herbert Bis- marck’s. visit to Travemunde is eagerly discussed. His enemies say that the Kais-. er refused to receive him.

GREAT DAMAGE WAS PREDICTED LAST DISPATCH SAID, LOSS OF LIFE WAS CERTAIN. Weather Again Threatening in Vicin- ity of Calvert, Where the Distress and Loss Is Already In- déscribable. | re Special to the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, Tex., July 4.—12:30.—All wire communication thas been lost with Dewey Station. It is believed the Missouri, Kansas & Texas bridge over the Brazos at that point is gone and that with it there has been an immense loss of other property. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DAILLAS, Tex., July 4.—(Noon.)—A bul- letin from Dewey station on the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway, midway be- tween Calvert and Houston, says: “’There has been great destruction to general prop- erty in this vicinity. Some lives have surely been lost in country districts. The Brazds River has been rising rapidly since yes- terday. Waiter is now up to the stringers of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas bridge, a large and costly steel structure. Three m‘les of railroad track has gone since last midnight. If a drift comes down the river the bridge is sure to go, and a drift is con- Sidered certain. Water is within less than two feet of telegraph wires and higher than ever known before.” DALLAS, Tex., July 4.—The weather 1s “again threatening in the vicinity of Cal- vert, and there is terror over the pros- pect of addition to the waters which still cover everything for) 20 miles on each side of the town. The first mail for a week yesterday reached Calvert on a Houston & Texas Central locomotive, through 20 miles of 'water. The distress is indescribable. Everybody's crops are ruined, thousands of head of live stock drowned and general farm and plan- tation property either totally wrecked or partiaily destroyed. It will cost Robertson County more than $100,000 to repair the pub- lic roads and bridges; it will cost the rail- road companies five times as much to re- pair their lines, and the farm and planta- tion lesses will swell the total. beyond the million-dollar mark. Twelve dead negroes have been found in and near the city. More than 30 are missing in the County districts. Mr. and Mrs. Aldridge and child and a Miss May, who were clinging tn the tops f trees, were yesterday rescued in- the earne Bottoms, They were nearly dead from exhaustion and lack of food. The oth- er white families have taken to places of safety on high ground. Provisions have been sent from Calver. on rafts to carry food to the hundreds of refugees camping on the higher pieces of land in the miles of submerged coun- try. ; All the convicts who were working in the Calvert coal mines were rescued from the top stories of the buildings at the mining camps. The flood danger in the Brazos appears to be the most threatening in the vicinity of Sealey, about 100 miles below Calvert. The river at and around Sealey has been on a tremendous riée. TO SAVE A WOMAN'S LIFE. Why “Big Ben,’’ the Bell on the Brit- ish House of Commons, Was Si- lent for a Night. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publisoing Compary. LONDON, July 4.—Had the tower of the House of Commons disappeared during the night London would not have been more surprised than it was when “Big Ben,”’ the tremendous bell in the tower, was silent from 10 o'clock on Saturday night to 8 o’clock on Sunday morning. And “Big Ben’’ was silenced for ten hours out of consideration for an American wom- an, the wife of William George Cavendish- Bentinck, who was Dlizabeth Livingston of New York. Mr. Bentinck’s residence is No, 5 Rich- mond Terrace, a delightful house to the right of White Hall. There on Friday the surgeons performed a very serious operation on Mrs, Bentinck, which was successful, and from the ef- fects of which she is now recovering. but on Saturday Mrs. Bentinck’s condi- tion was extremely critical. Her surgeons feared the worst should she not sleep well on Saturday night. The very air in her sick room vibrated when “Big Ben,” near by, tolled the hours, and its deep sound racked her nerves, almost at utmost tension. So Mr. Bentinck sent a message to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Com- mons—of which he was for some time @ member—asking him to silence the bell. ‘“Bise the sound of the belli mee § cause my wife’s death,’’ wrote Mr. Bentinck. So for ten hours “Big Ben” spoke not, Mrs. Bentinck went to sleep, and sleeping, any | ' tacks of apo passed the crisis of danger. ' But try to imagine the surprise of the worthy householders who set their clocks and watches by “Big Ben,’’ who live synu- | chronously with the great bell's tobling. DEATH OF QUEEN.

(The Magnitude of the Conspiracy Which Disgraced and Made Him an Exile Seems to Appall Him. These portraits represent Mme. Lucie Dreyfus. the devoted wife of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, and her twe children. -They are copied from prints in the Ladies’ Pictorial Journal of London, and are the first rtraits of Capt. Dreyfus’ family that have been published from photographs. The exile will hardly recognize his children when the familr is reunited. The little girl, who is now 6 years old, was a baby in arms when her father was sevt to his solitary prison. His son, who was-at that time only 2 years old, is now more than twice as big as be was in 1804. Mme. Dreyfus is not yet 80. and has been married to the once Drilliant artillery officer only about seven years. She is the daughter of a wealihy Jew, and has been and is now the idol of her father and brothers. The terrible ordeal she bas passed through bas robbed her of much of her beauty, but she is still most attractive. She has taken a cottage at Rennes in which she and her children will live during the Second trial of her husband. RENNBS, France, July 4.—Mme. Dreyfus JEFFERSON BARRACKS, OUTLINED IMPROVEMENTS. The President Referred His Visitors to the Secretary of War—Appropria- tions Are Asked. Congressmen Pearce and Joy have brought to the attentiog of the War De- partment the promise made by President MoKinley a year ago that Jefferson Bar- racks would be made a brigade post. The President granted the Congressmen an audience Monday and listened to their plans of improvement as narrated by Major Pearce. Mr. McKinley expressed some doubt whether it would be wise to expend a large sum for improvements at the Bar- racks when, owing.to the trouble in the Philippines, it was not likely that~ there would be any considerable body of soldiers quartered there for some time. Maj. Pearce responded promptly thaf the experience of the troops at ‘Montauk Point last summer demonstrated that the time to prepare for the proper care-of soldiers was before they arrived at a post. The President id this was unquestion- ably true and si ested that the St. Louis Congressmen see Secretary Alger and ex- plain the proposed plans to him. Secretary Alger gave them an audience of half an hour. ‘He seemed impressed by the arguments and said he would consider the matter carefully. He encouraged them to think that St. Louis might get from _ $80,000 to $100,000 out of the appropriation of $750,- 000 made for the improvement and mainte- nance of the army posts of the country. There is only one thing likely to operate against St. Cetin securing the recognition a -— “N —> , : - Mavame Lucie Dreveus NY Aun AER CALORE MME.

Guards are maintained about the house occupied by Mme. Dreyfus and no harm can come to her. fi seems impossible for Dreyfus to fully comprehend his own case. The many rami- fications, the vastness of the conspiracy, and its many tragic incidents serve to ap- pall him. But littie by little he is beginning to grasp the thread of its history and as his mind becomes ciearer by association with his wife and the suggestions of his counsel, he will, before the new trial be- Kins, have mastered the details of the plot which made him an exile from France and moved the whole werid to pity. The announcement of Col. Henry’s sui- cide seemed to fill him with astonishment. He said there never was any animosity, that he was aware of, between himseif and Col. Henry. ol. Picquart’s roie seemed al- most incomprehensible. Mme. Dreyfus ex- lained Col. Picquurt’s part a great ength, but the prisci.er seemed to scarcely understand it all..He understood Lieut.-Col. Du Paty de Clam'’s maneuvers better, and his arrestation, regerding wlich he made a short, dry remark much to the point. He said he understood that his lawyers will undertake the discussion of his case with him only by degrees, allowing the inside history of the whole affair to develop slowly in his mind so no confusion muy arise. It is predicted that fully 10,000 strangers— ersons from all parts of the world—wil! be n Rennes when the trial begins. All spare and vacant rooms in the hotels and apart- ments are rented. Ex-President Casimir-Perier has rented a handsome apartment for his stay at Rennes during the trial. MM. Zola and Clemenceau and other distinguished men have also en- gaged quarters. To-day it is stated that unless the au- thorities should direct a preliminary in- guiry or the examination of Capt. Dreyfus, Maj. Carriere, the Government Commis. sioner, charged with the preparation of the case against the prisoner, will merely draw up a report which will be presented to the court-martial. Dreyfus’ memoirs, which ‘he wrote on Devil's Isiand, were left there, but they will be forwarded to the Government with his other effects. There is a good deal of comment upon a epeech made by Paul Déroulede, founder of the Leagugof Patriots, and long known as one of the most violent opponents of revis- fon. M. Deroulede said, in substance, that if Dreyfus should be found innocent by the new court-martial, no punishment would De sufficiently heavy, no pillory sufficiently infamous, for all the Ministers, civil or mil- itary, who were responsible for his convic- tion, ‘“‘and no honors high enough for the martyr and victim.”’ Maitre Labori paid another visit to Capt. Dreyfus at 10 o'clock this morning, remain- ing with him until noon. The lawyer found the prisoner to be in better spirits than yesterday and in the resistance Drey- fus has shown to the frightful blow he euffered in the judgment of the court-mar- tial and his terrible experience #n Devil's Island, combined with his marvelous recu- peration of pags-cai and mental strength since he left ayenne Maitre Labori saw the strongest proofs of his Innocence. Counsel was almost joyful in appearance on leaving the military prison to-day, and beyond doubt his interviews with Dreyfus have given him the most favorable impres- gion respecting the outcome of the court- martial.

Charlies West, residing at Second ana Dorcas streets, is the third victim of the kissing bug in St. Louis. - He was bitten in the upper lip Monday night while he slept, and by Tuesday morn- ing his face was ewollen to twice its norma] size.

If they should be decided upon the improvements proposed for Jefferson Bar- racks would have to be elther curtailed or postponed. The improvement most urgently needed at the Barracks, in Major Pearce’s opinion, is the construction of a big sewer through the center vf the parade grounds in the depression between the old barrack rooms and the officers’ quarters. The present sewerige system is a menace to health because the pipe which carries the sewage is so small that some of the sewage is backed up in the pipes connected with the officers’ quarters, thus occasioning sewer as. The plan is to have the new and large sewer main empty into the Mississippi at a point below the Barracks. A. separate sewer is wanted for the stables. Another proposition was for a filter, so that all the water used for drinking and cooking purposes at the Barracks could be filtered. The estimated cost of this filter is $3000. At the present time light at the Barracks is supplied by means of candles. coal oil and gasoline lamps. It is desired that this system be supplanted by an elec- tric light plant. The estimate for the con- Struction of an electric light plant whieh would answer all the purposes of the Bar- racks was $11.00. It was demonstrated that the cost of lighting the Barracks at present is three times what the interest on $11,000 would be. An administation building and a quarter- master’s store were also recommended. The plan is to have them both under stores for the Barracks often times runs as high as $20,000 a week, and there is no proper storage room for these supplies. The proposed building would cost $30,000. It was also proposed that the old baracks near the officers’ quarters be torn down and replaced by a modern structure to cost $25,000. The old barracks are unsanitary. GQne of Major Pearce’s pet schemes is to hage the 250 acres of the reservation south of’the Barracks that is now a wilderness converted into a drill ground. He does not think it should be entirely cleared and made level, it being his idea to form a drill ground as nearly as possible like the sof of country soldiers have to maneuver in in war. he present parade ground would be maintained for dress drills. In- addition to these improvements the Congressman outlined a plan for. a public park on the reservation. Major Pearce stated that he was endeavoring to raise $2000 to have a. complete topographical sur- vey made of the reservation with a yiew to getting up a definite scheme of improve- ment to be carried out by continuing contracts. HOT WEATHER CAUSES MANY SUICIDES! And at This Time of the Year Malaria Causes Many Deaths! MOORE’S PILULES Are the Only Sure Cure for Malaria! They are the Only Perfect Substitute For Quinine. Quinine is dangerous and eadly because its use causes general loss of power, deepening into more or less complete paralysis, great dyspnoea (labored breathing) and cerebral (brain) symptoms, such as Anaesthesia, Blind- ness, Stupor, or Violent Delirium, Di- lated Pupils, Coma and Convulsions, Vomiting and Diarrhoea. MOORES PILULES purify the blood of all ma- larial poisons and free the liver of indu- ration and give it vigor and normal ac- tivity by correcting the. bile tunctions and thus promote good disgestion, and consequently restore health. Furthermore, in using the Pilules one need have no fear of unpleasat results as in Quinine. The Pilules may be taken in‘any case where Quinine has been administered. When taking a course of Pilules it 1s very tm- portant to be regular with doses; do not cease taking when feeling better; keep on until cure is complete.

FATHER INTERNATIONAL LAW. Fourth of July Considered a Fitting Day for the Services of Those Who Are Talking Peace. DELFT, Holland, July 4.—There was a picturesque and impressive ceremony at the Nieuve Kirck this morning. The church was filled with delegates, diplomats, high officials and ladies. The ceremony began with a chorus singing Mendelssohn's ‘How Lovely Are the Messengers That Bring Us Good Tidings of Peace,” after which A. P. C. Van Karnebeck, the former Foreign Min- ister and head of the Dutch delegation to the Peace Conference, who presided at to-day’s ceremony, briefly outlined its nature. He said: ‘‘Nowhere has the Peace Conference met with heartier sympathy than in the United States. and it is u token of this feeling and acknowledgment of the reception of the conference by the Netherlands tliat the American delegates, in the name of their Government, desire to pay tribute to the memory of Hugo Grotius. In order to give this additional significance they have chosen for its accomplishment their great national feast day.’’ After the national hymn of the Nether- lands had been sung Andrew D. White, the United States Ambassador to Germany and head of the American delegation to the Peace Conference, in a long, scholarly ad- dress, paid an elegant tribute to Grotius, ‘to carry out whose ideas are assembled delegates from adl nations. Mr. White said: ‘‘I feel that my own coun- try unites, not only expresses her grati- tude, but in that of the civilized world. After tracing Grotius’ work and the ef- fect of his ideas, Mr. White said: ‘‘From this tomb of Grotius I seem to hear a mes- sage to go on with the work of strengthen- ing peace and humanizing war and, above all, to give the world at least a beginning of an effective, practical scheme of arbitra- tion.”’ At the end of his address, Mr. White laid on the tomb of Grotius, in behalf of his col- leagues, a wreath of silver oak and laurel leaves, bearing the inscription: t ‘‘To the memory of Hugo Grotius on the Occasion of the Peaee Conference at The Hague, In Reverence and Gratitude From the United States.”’ The wreath was three feet in diameter and was in a big beach case ornamented with silver, bearing the inscription: ‘To the Government of The Nether- lands-from the United States, on the Oc- casion of the Conference, 1899.’’ The names of the delegates to the peace conference follow.

President Seth (Low of Columbia Univer- sity, and a delegate to the conference, in returning thanks, said: ‘‘We do not ake light of what we owe to England, bit we gladly admit that we owe in a large/ measure to the Dutch many of the things Which we count as most pre- cious in our heritage.”’ r The ceremony concluded with the singing of ‘“‘The Star-Spangled Banner.” ARRESTED A WOMAN AFTER _ HE SHOT HER. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. of the grocery. The family lived upstairs over the store. Donnelly always had free access to the living rooms. rehensible in the conduct of his wife or employe. Persistent questioning by the po- lice brought no other statement. When young Miller was asked why he said Donnelly was ‘‘stuck on” Mrs. Miller, he took refuge in the kiss that all saw, and after that said nothing. The good people of the neighborhood are not airing their theories. Those who speak are faithful to the memory of their dead friend and stouiiy maintain her innocence and as bitterly denounce the murderer. Old Mike Donnelly, father of the boy, grieves with the husband. For yeara the ways of his son have been unknown io him. Loyalty to the dead and eondemnation of the living this day stirs the hearts of those who know both. CHAPTER III. In conjunction with his grocery ‘business Miller sipplied ice to the families in the immediate neighborhood. To make these deliveries was the early morning duty of Hughey ‘Donnelly. The young, man was called as usual Tuesday, but did not re- spond. Miller found his room empty and himself took the wagon out, asking his wife to wait on the early customers dur- ing his absence. He returned from this task at 7:15 o'clock, stopping the wagon on the Bellefontaine road side of the build- ing. ‘He had lifted a piece of ice from the vehicle and was half ‘way across the pave- ment to the side gate’ of his yard when he heard a shot in the store. The next instant Mrs. Miller, with her long hair tumbling down her back, and her gown on fire, was on the pavement. ‘Miller was transfixed with horrors” Before he could move Donnelly was bending over the woman in an attitude that suggested another shot. Then the paralyzed husband saw the murderers hand drop, saw him place his arms under her shoulders, draw her up so close that his coat smothered the tiny flames at her breast and saw that long, passionate kiss. In that second the power of locomotion returnéd. The clank of the tongs that fell from his nerveless fingers to the pavement was drowned in the hoarse cry that was agony, hate and re- venge in one and he jumped forward. It was this that attracted Donnelly’s at- tention, and passion gave way to the first instinct of man—self-preservation. He permitted the wounded woman to fall go heavily that the sound of her head striking the granitoid was distinctly heard. Stand- ing erect Donnelly turned the pistol] on the husband, As the latter came on the younger. man veered around toward the side wall, keeping Ais man covered. He cried to Miller to stop or he would kill him, but Miller did not stop. He came in past Donnelly and fell on his knees by his wife's side, calling her name. ; On the scorched gown just over the heart a crimson stain Was growing deeper and wider. To his impassioned appeals the woman answered once. The white lids opened over the blue eyes that were eyen now growing misty, and her glance rested on her husband's face. “Will,, oh, Will,” she said, chokingly, “he shot me. He has killed me.” : Before another question could be put she swooned. Then the spirit of revenge came full upon William Miller. Hastily direct- ing that the senseless form be carried into the house and a physician summoned, the frenzied man glared around for the man who had struck the blow. Where he left him stood Hughey Don- nelly, calm, deliberate and steady-nerved. “Don't follow me, Miller,’ he said, again resenting the pistol. “I've fixed her and y I'll fix you.’’ And noting the crowd, added, “and anybody else that tries to head me off.’ The revolver he held was a 44 caliber of the bull-dog pattern. Miller recognized It as his own. Diving into the store, he grab- bed another from under the counter. As Miller went into the store Donnelly moved up closer to the door. When the grocery- man stepped outside he looked into the grim barrel of his adversary's w nm. yy ni ee ees it, ios Bn ee 4 Them, Prepared only by The Rem, - xe wal “Miller, if you attempt to shoot 9 ag?

Donnelly eyed him coolly as the running officer sped by toward the cor- ner. The excitement and pressing crowd un- nerved Miller and he sank weeping on his store step. No one made.a move to appre- hend the murderer. An ambulance soon casne and Mrs. Miller now unconscious and sinking rapidly, was hurried to the City Hospital. She died on the operating tabie. There were no eye witnesses to the actual shooting, but many saw the woman and her slayer on the pavement. Joseph Hereford, who lives next door, on Broadway, was sitting on a box in front of the grocery when the shot was fired. He sald prior to that he heard a scuffle in the store, and noted when Mrs. Miller ran out that her hair was disarranged. He heard no voices, CHAPTER IV. This early Fourth of July tragedy !s the fifth time in twenty months a life has been taken in that neighborhood, and the second murder in that house. On the first celebration of Dewey Day a man named Silverthorne was killed by Shot- well, in the room directly over Miller's gro- cery. On the same block o]d Jacob Weinand was straneled to death. One block east Jerry McQuinn was killed by a policeman. Henry Kruse, eighteen months ago, shot a man at the corner of Broadway and Fer- ry street.

LAESSIG’S RELATIVES THINK HIGHWAYMEN KILED _ POLICE WAITING ON CORONER. They Say It Is That Official’s Business to Ascertain If the Dead Man Was Shot. ‘When the inquest is held over the hody of C. Laessig at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning it is not beyond the range of possibilities that the police may have another myster- ious murder case to unravel. The fact of Laessig’s death was related in the Post-Dispatch Monday. His body was found on Sunday night on the tracks of the Frisco railroad, between Aride and Clifton Heights. The head had been |cut off by the train and the.body was terribly mangled. | Dr. Drechsler, the chief deputy coroner, examined the body Monday, but no autopsy has been held and it is not probable that one will be. In Laessig’s head was found a wound that the doctor said might have been caused by a bullet. At first it appeared that there were powder burns around the wound, by Dr. Drechsler says this may have been grease from the car wheels. The police accepted the suicide |theory from the fact that a revolver with one empty chamber was found by Locssig''s side, They also point to the fact that if j der had heen committed and robbers the motive the robbers would not hal the $28.35 that was found in his purse bers of the dead man’s famftiy, h point to the fact that Laessig’s gold and diamond pin were missing whi body was fvund and they claim that ways carried more money than was upon him. | There is no motive apparent for suicide. The deceased was in gvod circumstances financially. He was in good heajth and was never despondent, so far as is known. It is true he was overcome by the heat once and in exceptionally warm weather he sufferei some, but such attacks were seldom and were resdily controlled. The police are doing nothing in the case. When asked about it they said it was the coroner's jury to show that the man came to his deatlr from a bullet wound if such was the case. The police criticise the coroner for not having ordered an autopsy if it were thought that a} bullet wound caused Laceng 8 death. It is reported that Mr. Laessig was at- tacked by a highwayman a year $g0 at aimost the same point where death over- took him. This, it is claimed, forms a hasis for the theory that he was slain by robbers and his body thrown on the ralil- road track in order that evidence of the crime might be destroyed. —_} Meals a la Carte Are served on the Illinois Central Da; light Special for Chicago and all Michigan sum- mer resorts, Through sie are Call 7 ae ‘S 7 i 5 P : vn ME Agate y 7 oy So ge EE [2 5 7 UNEXPECTED IN SOCIET Wealthy St. Joseph Man Divorced From the Woman He Never Married.

Sheriff Melson, satisfied that Judge Jennings had no jurisdiction, Set to work to have the proceedings dis- missed. In company with Prosecuting At- torney L. G. Pittman he went before Dis- trict Judge Burroughs in Oklahoma City and it was that gentleman's opinion that the Probate Judge had no jurisdiction in the case. To decide this the case was to come up at 10 o'clock this morning. On Saturday night Sheriff William Trous- dale, supposedly on the advice of-the Pros- ecuting Attorney of Pottawatomie County and the District Judge, decided to sur- render Jester to Sheriff Melson. He did So and accompanied the Sheriff and his prisoner to Oklahoma City. Great secrecy was necessary in bringing the prisoner here as there is a certain lawless class in the territory which did not want the Mis- souri officer to get his man. Two Sheriffs. a Deputy Sheriff and the prisoner left Tecumseh at 1 o'clock Saturday night and drove five miles to Shawnee, where they took a special train to Oklahoma City. From there the tip’ was made over the Santa Fe ta Kansas City and then to this city over the Wabash. Deputy Sheriff How- ard Smith came here with Sheriff Medison. Sheriff Melson says that the more intelli- gent people of Oklahoma desired that jus- tice be done in the trial, and that they thought Jester should be brought to Mexico for this purpose. Mr. Melson said that the report that Gov. Barnes advised him to bring the prisoner to Mexico upon the con- sideration that the haWeas corpus case should be tried here is without foundation. The Sheriff says that the Governor had nothing to do with his’ securing the prisoner. PURE THINGS RARE. Adulteration of Household Articles Not Confiined to Food Products. From Boston (Mass.) Budget, May 15, 1899. Adulteration ard the substitution of cheaper matcrials than those called for by the label] are not confined to food products. Other articles of everyday home use are fre- quently bought and.sold under misrepresen- tation. Until these practices are prevented by sufficient and well administered laws, the only protection for the people fs in care- ful discrimination and the buying of only the brands of reputable manufacturers, brands that have been On the market so long that their qualities are well known. The housekeeper, for example, in select- ing her soap, should not buy a soap that is sold to her simply as “Castile,”’ because she has no means of knowing the manufac- turers; whether it is imported or of domes- tic make; or whether it is what it is rep- resented to be, or not. Pure ‘‘Castile’’ soap was formerly of uriform good quality, im- ported from Spain or other \Mediterranean countries, and was manufactured of pure olive oil. But now much of that sold under that name is made of very poor materials, and is adniterated, and may have been manufactured in this country or elsewhere. It is better to buy a soap, tike the Ivory, that has been on the market for a great many years, and known to be made of the best materials and perfectly pure. It is as good as the best castile ever was, and is far superior to nine-tenths of the stuff that is sold at the present time under that name. The statement of the manufacturer with reference to an article that has been adver- tised and sold for years may be generally accepted as correct. The strong light of public criticism is turned on euch brands, and if fraudulent, they are bound to be found out before many years. If you will think of the number of soaps that have been advertised and represented to be “just as good as the Ivory,’’ and have dropped out of sight in a short time, you have an ex- ample of how almost unconsciovely the pub- lic determine with experience what is good and what is poor, then rejects the poor and retains the gocd. FEW HOURS OF LIFE LEFT HIM Bishop John P. Newman, Founder of the Chautauqua, Is Rapidly Sinking at His Home. SARATOGA, N. Y., July 4.—The attending physicians announced that Bishop John P. Newman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, cannot live many hours and that his death may occur at any moment. He is gradually succumbing to myelitis and pneumonia. Bishop Newman had been confined to his BISHOP JOHN P. NEWMAN. residence here for several weeks with a form of creeping paralysis when he was attacked.by pneumonia. The Bishop John P.

City Council Has Directed the Enforce. ment of the Ordinances. Another law is to be enforced in Belleville by or- der of the ©Oity Council. At Monday's meeting Alderman Schnipper stated that many slot gamb- ling machities were in operation ‘‘contraty to he ordinance in such cases made and provided.”’ On motion of Mr. Taylor UOhief Obst was ordered to enforce the ordinance. is one of the funny things about Belleville that the ordinances are not self-acting. The City Council passes them and that gererally ends it until some member takes a notion that a certain one ought to be enforced and Chief Obst is or- dered to enforce it. Chief Obst seems to look to the poe 4 Council in- stead of to the ordinance book for authority. This is because he considers that the Council repre- sents dominant sentiment. When he is in doubt as to which way public sentiment leans, as be once said qn an historic occasion, he ‘‘does his duty.’ WRANGLING OVER FRANCHISES. Belleville City Council Considering Its Divided Reports. The Belleville City CouncH met and adjourned Monday again without changing the electric rail- way aituation.

7 ase tg - , “POLITICS : “~ 7 sd 4 *~. + SMITH AWAY. ADMINISTRATION “BLUFFED.” Merchants’ League Club Directly Charged by Gen. Sloan With Hav- ing Caused Public Disappointment. ———— Gen. E. M. Sloan, Grand Secretary of the 1. O. O. F. of Missouri, and one of the directors of the Nation’s Birthday Asso- giation, charges the Merchants’ League Club with causing Postmaster General Emory Smith and Gen. Joseph Wheeler to recall their acceptance of an invitation to visit St. Louis Tuesday and deliver ; . at the Fair Grounds. F; See He says the fear of the Merchants’ League Club that its partisan celebration at Lemp’s Park would be excelled by that of the Nation's Birthday Association at the Fair Grounds, induced it to represent to Gen. Smith and Gen. Wheeler that the latter celebration, while ostensibly non-partisan, would really be a Democratie affair. He ne seat upon this misrepresentation 1ey decided to cancel their engageme come to St. Louis. ee Gen. Sloan says that when he left Wash- ington last Thursday morning he carried with him the unconditional promise of Gen. Smith to come to St. Louis and the assur- ance of Gen. Wheeler that he, too, would come if his plans to go to Manila would not be interfered with in any manner. He is certain, he says, that both intended to come up to that time. He declares, however, that as soon as it Was announced in the St. Louis papers that he had been successful in securing two dis- tinguished speakers for the Fair Grounds celebration telegrams poured into Washing- ton from members of the Merchants’ League Club, assuring the Administration that {t would tncur the displeasure of St. Louis Republicans if it allowed Smith and Wheeler to come here and participate in a rival celebration. He thinks, also, that rominent St. Louis Republicans tn Wash- ngton called on President McKinley and urged him tv request Wheeler and Smith to recall their acceptance of the St. Lovyis invitation. These protests “bluffed’’ the Administra- tion, he says, and won a victory for the Merchants’ League Chub at the expense of the disappointment of thovsands of St. Ioutsans, who had expected to hear Smith and Wheeler. . Gen. Sloan did not know that the two Cistinguished orators had declined te come to St. Loulg until he returned home Tues. day morning from an outing in the moun- tains of Virginia. “TI was astonished when informed that Smith and Wheeler had recalled their ac- ceptance of an invitation to come to St. Louis,” said he. ‘“They assured me in the utmost good faith, while I was in Wash- ington, that they would come. Gen. Whee!- er made his promise conditiona] upon his leaving for Manila hefore the Fourth. But as he is yet in this country and spoke in Omaha Monday, his promise is practically unconditional. The only reason why they did not come was that a mighty political pesesute was used against a visit to St. souls, and the Administration was s0 bad- ly frightened by it that it was decided to call the St. Louis visit off. “It is useless to mince words over this aifair. The Merchants’ League Club ts re- sponsible for the failure of Smith and Wheeler to come to St. Louis, and the public should know it. It is giving a rival celebration and fearing that its affair at Lemp’s Park would be dwarfed into insig- nificance by the Fair Grounds celebration it resorted to misrepresentation to interfere with our plans. Its members assured the Administration in person and by telegrams that our celebration, while advertised as & non-partisan affair, would really be Den- ocratic, and that the. Republicans of St. Louis would consider {t an insult if Smith and Wheeler were permitted to honor the celebration with their presence. This was absolutely untrue, but it worked. “The Nation’s Birthday Association is strictly non-partisan, and its president is a strong Republican, Our celebration was for all the people, and St. Louis should not forget the blow the Administration, through the Merchants’ League Club, has dealt it.’’ HE HAD THREE CELEBRATIONS. Nation’s Birthday, His Own Birthday and His Third Marriage. Henry Bleitner of 1236 South Third street had many celebrations Tuesday. He celebrated Independense Day in the morning, devoted the afternoon to a cele- bration of his 68th-birthdav vad concluded his day of fun ‘n the evening by cele- brating his third marriage. The bride was Mrs. va Kempf of 71? Sidney street. The ceremony was per- formed at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church and the attendants were Jacob Smither, the eldest son-in-law of the bridegroom, and Mrs. Mattie Seuver, a friend of the bride.

Investigation Being Made Because of Dr. C. H. Hughes’ Letter Suggest- ing Possibility of Murder. The .Police and Detective Departmente are making an investigation into the death of the late Editor Joseph B. McCullagh, on the strength of the letter written to Chief of Police Campbell, Monday, by Dr. Charlies H. Hughes, The police unhesitatingly announce that they do not take much etock in the the- ory that the editor may have been mur- dered, and say that all of the indications are that he took his own life. However, Dr. Hughes’ letter has been taken up, and Detectives James Tracy and Al Guion have mond to muke a full and thorough Iinvesti- gation, it was 4 0’clock Monday when Dr. Hughes letter was recefved at the Four Courts. Chief of Police Campbell read it and ex- pressed surprise that Dr. D' have waited so long after Editor McCul- lagh’s death to furnish the police depart- ment with information tending to show that a crime had been committed. Chief Camp- bell summoned hijs chief lieutenant, Wiliam Desmond, and gave him Dr. Hughes’ letter with instructions to investigate it fully. The letter written by Dr. Mughes, the neurologist, was printed in full in Monday s Post-Dispatch. n it the doctor said that there were circumstances attending Mr. Mc- Cullagh's death that pointed as strongly to murder as to elther suicide or accident. The Strange death was recadled by Dr. Hughes, and he furnished Chief Campbell all of the facts he could recall. % | PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. Frederick 8S.

A MISTAKE IN THE PRINT. Ex-Gov. Stone’s Interview Corrected in an Important Particular. In the report of the misunderstanding be- tween ex-Gov. Stone and Don Reavis in the late editions of the Post-Dispatch Mon- day the ex-Governor was quoted as follows: “I trust you will excuse me from further discussion of a very jinudicreus affair. I will say, though, that I showed my resentment of his insulting women in a wey forcible enough to properly reprimand him for his conduct and still rot hurt hin} severely. There was no biood shed and was not hurt.” Through an unfortunate error in the com- posing room of the Post-Dispatch the word “women was set up insteaa of manner.” Ex-Gov.

For the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1895 we exported of such products a trifle over $29,000,000 worth; for the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1896 our exports of that class were more than $37,000,000; for the corre- sponding period of 1897, $52,000,000; for the same term of 1898, $63,000,000, and for the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1899 the great totdl of $84,873,842.. These figures do not include agricultural implements, bicycles, electrical apparatus and other manufactures into which fron and steel largely enter. We are rapidly becoming a great manufacturing country for export, and at the present rate of progress we shall before many years be selling to the world as much of manufactured goods as of grain and meat. Missouri, St. Louis and all the States and cities in the Louisiana purchase should make fine displays of their products at the Paris, Philadelphia and Buffalo Fairs. This would be immediately profitable in increasing commerce and might be expected to bring about reciprocal action when the exhibits for our own great Fuir are being gathered.

Acknowledging and appreciating the splendid work done by the men who have borne the heat and burden of the World's Fair work up to this time the Post-Dispatch recognizes that the time hag now come for all the available energies and influences of the business forces of St. Louis to join in a harmonious ef- fort to make sure the success of the World’s Fair. In pursuance of the suggestion that the reorganization of the Fair’s working forces include all St. Louisans identified with the city’s business interests the Post-Dispatch named 4 large number of gentlemen whose active cooperation would be in- valuable and ought to be secured. We called upon them in behalf of St. Louis to give the great strength of their support to the project. The list published yesterday did not by any means exhaust the wealth of St. Louis brains and energies. The gentlemen named were selected as types of the men whose cooperation would make the assurance of World’s Fair success doubly sure and would at once place the great enterprise on a solid basis. That list may be supplemented with the names of others prom}. ‘ ' nent in the professions, in manufacturing, mercantile and ig K VE financial interests.

WY 2A STLOUIS STORY Br THE AUTHOR OF “The AWSTERY oF THE Four-Cougts~ Sopyright 1890 by C. H. Wetmore. -— Synopsis of Chapter L Lou Johnson, a Chinese, murdered in Hop Alley, and Lan Ohow, Fee Ching and Hoy Foo charged with the crime. Arrest made by Detective Fuller, who believes ‘the Obinese was killed for having given faformation concerning opium dens. Proof of this furnished by man named Baptisté, who claims to have been Lou Johnson's. friend. When the police searched the murdered man's premises they found a knife with a curiously worked handle. A mysterious Woman drove through Hop Alley about this time. Fee Ching and Hoy Foo, deprived of opium, become insane and are sent to the asylum. Lan Chow alone tried for the murder. He testified that although se- lected by the Chinese of Hop Alley to kill [ou Johnson, he did not do so. for when he, Fee Ching and Hoy Foo reached John- son's rooms, they found him dead. Bap- tiste did not appear at the trial and could not be found. The knife with the curious- ly wrought handle had disappeared. Lan 2>—e—_?—-—_—_0—_o—_0—_ o_o o_o CHAPTER II. The Lost Knife. The case for the State closed soon after this, and the defense began. It was weak end disappointing. Some little interest Was aroused toward the close, when, after @ conference between the attorneys, Lan Chow took the stand. He talked labor- foubly, and finally an interpreter was called. Lan admitted that he, Fee Ling and Hoy Foo had been chosen to kill Johnson at a meeting of the Chinamen; that the information that Lou Johnson was an informer had been furnished by Bap- tiste. The three went to Lou’s house ear- ly in the morning. Just as they neared the door to the bedroom they saw dimly a figure glide out and disappear into the rear Massage. They heard groans, and entering Lou Johnson's room found him on the floor covered with blood. Then the police came, and they ran out by the rear pas- gage, where the other person had gone. Perhaps the jury believed more of this story than the eudience did; perhaps they thought it unfair that but one should be hanged; at any rate a verdict was brought in that sentenced Lan Chow to the peni- tentiary for life. This was considered a @reat victory for the gentlemen who @efended him, and they took no appeal, Two months later it was stated in the press that Lan Chow had been shot and killed at Jefferson City while attempting to pass the guard line. , Six months after the death of Lan Chow and when the memory of the murder of Lou Johnson had faded from the public mind, Chief of Police Larrigan received a visit from the head of a private detective agency in St. Louls’ Mr. Ernest Reel asked Chief Larrigan, in confidence, the name of the city detective who had worked on the Johnson case and asked further concerning his character and ability. Mr. Reel did not make known the object of his inquiry, but the chief spoke highly of his subordinate. As a consequence of this interview, John Fuller visited the of- fice of the private detective agency and #00k service with Mr. Reel. “And so you have no notion What became ef this singular knife?’ asked Mr. Reel, after Fuller had related the story from end to end. “No, I do not. I did not pay much at- tention to it at the time, and thought little of its disappearance. Often articles are missed from the property cierk's safe, and we usually suppose that he or some friend has taken a fancy to them and helped him- eelf. I was inclined to think that was what had happened ‘to the dirk and as it did not appear essential in the case’ I made no in- qguiries.”’ “You say no one cotild read the inscrip- tion on the case?’ “No one. The editor of one of the news- papers was very anxious to have this done, but the men whom he sent to examine it were all baffled.’’ “Did they know Oriental languages?” “Bome of them—yes.”’ “Did anybody familiar with the old In- @ian languages of South America—like Peru —examine it?’’ “No; I was interested in this phase of the | investigation and qttestioned them all. Not one of them pretended to any such knowl- edge.” “Ie there any picture of the knife except the newspaper cut?’’ “No; there is no photograph. The cut was made from an excellent drawing. The —_— were very faithfully represent- 9 Mr. Reel made an entry tn a memoran- dum book and then said: “One more question—you say that severa] persons drove out of Hop Alley when the police arrived?” “No; not that they drove away. A num- ber hurried away on foot, appearing to think a raid was being made. Only one Grove away.” “O, and that was the woman you told me about?” **VYea,’’ “And she came from next door?” *T think not. The cab was moving rapld- ly and must have come from some distance down the street.’’ “You didn't see her face?’ “No; she was looking out of the window on the opposite side.’’ “Didn't you see that man Baptiste about the place that morning?” “No; I saw him first in the Chief's office, pe ere — 4 The Dreyfus Case. _ & remarkable change bas taken place ja public pinion regarding the guilt of Dreyfus, and tere te good reason to hope that it will be reflected in the sentence rendered by the supreme tribanal.

Leaning back in his chair he asked: “Mr. Fuller, what do you think of this case? If it has occurred to you that you have made a mistake, say s0; your con- fidence will be respected.” “I don’t understand, Mr. Reel, why you aré asking these questions,”’ replied Fuuer, siowly, “but I can understand from. the drift of them that we are both pretty much of one mind. Before the trial ended I be- came eonvinced I had acted too hastily. As I told you, the loss of the knife did not impress me, but Baptiste’s disappear- ante made me wonder. When I heard Lan Chow’s confession, I believed he was tell- ing the truth, and I half hoped for a ver- dict of not guilty. But when the verdict came in I argued that’ as they planned a murder they were as guilty as if they had committed it. That they did not was due to accident; not to their good will” Mr. Reel smiled. “Was it ever shown that Low Johrison bad informed egainst the Chinese opium: gang?’ “No, he did not. That's another oddity. |} Among the Chief and captains it was de- cided that the Chinamen had been de ceived ’”’ “So? Then your three prisoners were not > ye 5 = ye . ¥ pe a oy sth * . > - re agate.

Find out everything you can about him in the city.. They all said that he was half Chinese and half Italian. I don’t believe it. Question well the agents who rented him the cigar etore, Find the his stock was. If possible find some woman he had dealings with when here. I want everything concerning him that it is pos- sible for you to eecure within a week. Nothing can be too trivial.’’ When the young detective had gone Mr. Reel leaned back in his chair, reached for a cigar and solilequized: “Why the South American wants to pay $10,000 for a little stick of ivory is more than I can understand. However, that is none of my business. I shall earn the $1000 he sent me as a retainer and then try for the big sum—and all expenses paid,” he added as he glanced at a letter that was on his desk. “A good stroke, even for our agency.’’ The Story ef the Inca.

No, no, Mr. Beausire is not vexed.” “No,” said that gentleman, and he held out his hand cordially. “Now, Henrique,’’ went on Jones, “we want your help. We want to send you on a mission,” and the Englishman rapidly outlined the duty to be undertaken. “But,” explained Henrique, “‘I am in the dark. I’m mystified.

My prac- tice will not suffer,” he said, lmughing, “But what is the story?’’ “Fifteen years ago,” said the English- man, “Mr. Beausire was @ purser oh a P. S. N. C. steamer and I was a clerk in the company’s general offices. It became monotonous for him, sailing up and down the coast, busied with waybills, and equal- ly 50 for me, poring over in- voices, One day when his steam- er was in port we decided to quit the ‘business. We formed a partnership in adventure, and started for the interior. And we have been together ever since. lt was a hard life at first, for we had nothing but our rifles and the clothes on our backs. But at least we were free, and there was no monotony to depress the spirit. In our wanderings we met an old Indian, who lived a solitary life, remote from any hu- man habitation. His name was Atahualpa, and he claimed descent from the great Inca, Atahualpa. He lived alone because he could not witness without sorrow the wasting of his tribe. We did not pay much heed to his story at the time, but he was — - ts ans aN er ee ag Ft ee ee tere te) cet “9%. we Pa i é ee ’ er ee — _—_—_—-— —— — ‘yee of , ~~, — ~ One pieeew J “Tam here, Mr. Jones, you see. I am prompt.—Professional?” so guilty as you would wish them to be for your conscience sake?” And Reel smiled egain. “I’m afraid you are right,”’ replied Ful- ler. “It’s a bad case, but where is the key?” “Never mind. Did not Lan Chow state in [ his confession that Baptiste, Lou Johnson's good friend, who mourned him so dutifully, didn’t he state that Baptiste was the one who gave information that Johnson ‘was a traitor?’ : “Yes,” replied Fuller, looking uncomfort- able. “Doesn’t it look as if there had been a conspiracy te have an attempt at murder made—even to have the assassins arrive on the scene at a moment when every fact, circumstantial and direct, would be against them?’ “Baptiste!” exclaimed Fuller. ‘You are right. He was the murderer, and he fooled us all.’’ ' “O, no: don't jump at conclusions. But think about it and come to see me ‘to morrow morning.”’ Early the following day Fuller reported for duty at the downtown agency and was closeted with Mr. Reel for over an hour. At the close of the conversation the chief said: “You «an find the place?” “Yes, Washington boulevard, block 40,000, Gouth Side, three-story red brick, unus- ually large bay windows, deep lawn, stone images of dogs near the gate.” ‘That's right. You can't miss the place. It was careless of me to lose the address, but I noticed the house particularly as I passed it day before yesterday, and it is the only one of that description in the block.’”’ No sooner had Fuller left the office than Mr. Reel called, in his stenographer and dictated the following letter: , Mr. Reberto Beausire, Arica, Peru-—Dear Sir: Your check and my acceptance of Dhe case were the only etibjecte treated in my Ist letter. I beg pardon for the fortnight'’s silence intervening, but until the last few days the information I have been able to secure has been so meager that I have delayed writing until something more definite might furnish the material for a letter. I realize how anxious you are, and therefore understand that it is news of the missing w- you are anxious for more than details of the methods which I employ in carrying out your desires. ! fully appreciate your anxiety to be in St, Louls at thie time, and I earnestly urge that you 60 ar range your affairs that you may come, for a time, at least, because I believe your presence may be necessary in the future, should my plane not fail, to prove property.

The question is, Will all this serve your end and restore to you the missing w-—? I! trust that it mey and eball bend every effort of my agency to do this. Your check was ample, Mr. Beausire, to cover all prelimimary work, and I will not ask you for further remittance until | have something mere tangible to show for what I have received. I shall ouly write when there are developments, and if several weeks pass without have felt the spell will remember the Eng- lish club and its broad veranda, which juts out abmost over the breakers that roll upon the stony beach. This veranda is a favorite place for a chop and a small bottle of wine during the noon hour and fora quiet game of cards at evening time. One afternoon in the latter part of July— the midwinter season in these subequatori- al regions, and in the latitude of Callao a season differing little in temperature from summer—two middle-aged men were seat- ed at a table, neglecting their wine, so in- terested were they in their conversation. One, tall and broad-shouldered, whose dark skin and black hair denoted Latin blood, had only just arrived from a journey, for there was a portmanteau at his side. The other, shorter, and of Anglo-Saxon type, had evidently met him by appointment. They conversed in English, and that was plainly the mother tongue of the newcom- er, despite his appearance and his name, Roberto Beausire. “No, there is no direct trace of it as yet,” he was saying, “but the man in St. Louis who has the case in charge seems to be working away earnestly and he has mace some progress.”’ “Do you know, Beausire, one of us ought to go to the States to look after this af- fair.’’ “True enough, Sam, but what can we do? You have the mines to watch, and if Iam away from Arica more than a week something is sure to go wrong.” “Why didn’t we guard old Atahualpa’s gift better?’’ exclaimed his companiun. “There’s’ no use erying over spilt milk. But about going to the States—can’t we send somebody?” “Yes, why can’t we?’ said the other ex- citedly, “and I know the man.” “Do you?” replied Beausire skeptically. “lo you remember Henrique Caceras?”’ “Son of Capt. Caceras of the Peruvian navy?” “Yes; he is a good English scholar. He has just been graduated in medicine, but has no practice. He is under obligations to me. I think he would be glad to make the trip. He could see the world and his ex- penses would be paid. The remuneration would be more than what he could make in three years practicing medicine here in Callao. I believe he would serve us ad- mirably.” “tinless he should meet her,” interrupted Beausire. “But we will warn him; besides there’s a pair of black eyes in Lima,”’ Then he laughed softly and added, “Still thinking of old times, old man?” But Beausire looked out over the bay and made no reply. “f can send for him now.” “Do so, then.”’ Before they left the table a young man entered, exclaiming with a cheery voice: “I am ‘here, Mr. Jones, you see. I am prompt—professional?’’ “O no, no indeed, Henrique, I'm not fll. Do you know Mr. Beausire?” The young Peruvian bowed and Beausire remarked: ; “You were a youngster of 12 when I 84Ww you last. It was on board your father’s ship."’ “Ah, yes—I°' remember. You were &@ companied by a most beautiful young We- man, I was impressed, and nev forgot her; that was 10 years ago. I | a noble old man, and we loved him for his simple honesty. And events prévéd that what thhe said was true. “Often we made his hut our resting place while prospeeting through the moun- tains. Many a weird and ghostly story dia ihe tell us of the great race of Incas. The old man was full of romance. But ene day we found him lying on a bed of liama skins, moaning softly. He was plainly passing away. At ‘his bidding I took down from a shelf a small box, which the old man opened, disclosing what seemed to be a stiek of ivory about 18 inches long and a half inch thick, “*Your fortune is in this wand,’ he said—‘a fortune kings might covet. I will tell you the secret. When you arrive at sore safe place’— he old Inca’s voice sank, he gasped and was gone. “Well, we buried him and continued our work, carrying the wood, as he termed it, with us. Of course we are too practical to believe that the stick of ivory had anything to do with our luck, but certain it is that from that day fortune favored us. We soon located a silver lode that would have made us rich long ago had we had adequate means of transportation to the coast. As it is, we can move enough ore on muleback down the Andes to bring in a comfortable revenue. Three years after leaving the serv- ice of the steamship company we returned to the coast. We invested in nitrate beds and divided our duties. 1 looked after the mines, while Bob looked after the new en- terprise. very third month we passed to- gether —— “Just twelve and a half years ago we— that is Bob—met Constance. Let that be her only name for the present.’’ Here the Englishman paused, looking thoughtfully out over the bay, and Beau- sire interposed— “Did you ever meet &@ woman whose eyes were magnets to draw your heart, whose lips cried out for caregses, but who gave nothing in return for the faithfulest love— beautiful, snakelike, graceful, icy—causing one to snudder—that was Constance,”’ The Englishman moved uneasily. ‘‘Yes,"’ he said, ‘‘she was tempting, alluring—but—” The Magic Wand. It was clear to Caceras that the women was a subject of bitterness to ooth men, and the thought of her excited friction be- tween them. Why this was go he under- stood later. “She was living at a hacienda near Iqui- unt,”’ Jones continued; “It gy for me to tell you that she promised Bob to become his wife, nor is it a secret that she promised several others the same. The young lady played her cards weil, for her fances were men whose bua- iness caused them to travel extensively and she so arranged for two years that there were no unpleasant meetings. It was during this time, and while,she was visiting in Arica, that Bob took her to the reception on the man-of-war, commanded by your father, that you recalled when introduced to Mr. Beausire. Constance was not without method, as we have since learned. Two years after our first meeting Miss Constance and her aunt disappeared from their hacienda and it was rumored that their followed a stormy #scei ae ied Z 7 _ P.

One night while we were | Sentes emoking on the deck of the little | vessel that rolled slowly at anchor in the harbor, our attention was attracted to a boat making toward us. As we had no in- timate friends in the place, only a few ac- quaintances, certainly none of whom would pay us a visit at that hour, our curl.) osity became arotsed arid we examined the) little craft with night glasses.

But to re- sume: Miss’ Constance wag clad in black and looked wan and thin, but this rather added to her beauty than detracted from it. she had seen us, she said, on the streets of Montevideo and had learned that we were on a private yacht. She had been in great trouble of recent years; a very dear rela- tive whom we had never met had died, and this death had eut off the small annuity that enabled her and her aunt to live modestly. Now would we do them a great favor; would we take them back to the West coast on our yacht, for really they did not have the money with which to pay their passage. She said that perhaps we had heard some strange things about her after her departure from Iquiqul, but was it fair to judge her without listening to the other side? She had done nothing wrong, and if we would only take her back to Peru, where they had a little property, she and her aunt could explain everything dur- ng the voyage—that is, if Senor Beausire cared to have matters explained, and she hoped that he did. “The upshot of this was that when the Arequipa weighed anchor a week later, Miss Constance stood in the “bow with Beausire, chatting merrily and I was doing duty beside a steamer chair in which was Seated her aunt. | “The trip proved an eventful one. While in the Straits we lost our propeller and had to wait two weeks until a steamer came along and gave us a tow. . Then we made for Valparaiso and were there a week in the floating dock, undergoing re- pairs. So the voyage stretched out al- most as long as a trip around the world. “But the two Occurrences we thave the most cause to remember were those of October 4th and Sth, three days before we reached Iquiqui, where the senorita was to disembark. Béfore relating these I must describe two persons on board who played an active part in what followed, One was @ man about thirty, whose nationality I never could determine. He was a handsome fellow, very quiet and unobtrusive. He shipped as steward in Moh- tevideo, for we needed extra help because of the advent on board of the senorita and the senora, One day I saw him in earnest conversation with Miss Constance, but I thought nothing of the matter until certain events recalled it to my memory. “The other person was the Chinese cook whom we shipped at Callao. Somebody, I don’t recall who, said he was a wealthy merchant once upon a time and had fled from China to escape paying the penalty for some crime. He was a good cook, though, ahd behaved well in the cabin, where he had to come frequently at meal times. : “Now, this is what happened the even- ing of the 4th of October: It was raw a chilly on deck and we four—the seno the senorita, Beausire and I~—had seatied ourselves in the cabin where a small oll stove furnished sufficient heat to chase away the dampness that had come with the sunsnet. The cook was preparing a savory Welsh rarebit under my direction and Baptiste, the steward, was icing a bottle of wine. The other three were read- ing, Beausire interrupting occasionally to repeat aloud some passage from an old book on ‘Manners and Customs of the In- cas’ that he had found’ in a secondhand stops in Valparaiso. “Now, lsten,”’ he exclaimed for the third time. ‘Here is a passage, Sam, thet directly interests both you and me,’ then in an aside he said to the senorita. ‘You have seen that curious piece of ivory that I call my wand, have you not?’ e nodded her head and a Nght came into Her eyes. At the same moment I saw Baptiste bend over toward Beausire. I didn’t think anything about this scene at the time, but it all came to me with undef- standing later. ‘Well,’ Beausire Was say- ing, ‘this has some bearing on that wand. Listen,’ and he read: | ‘What! you,, Sam?” he ex- The wealthy Incas had a custom of conceal- ing their jewels and precious stones in hol- low tubes of ivory. These tubes were closed in a cunning manner, so that ft was ex- tremely difficult to open one of them unlegs the secret was known. At one time, when a tube was captured from a chief, it took a wise man of the victorious party five months before he discovered the spots on the ivory surface that it was necessary to press before the spring would work and the cap be re- moved. There was devilish ingenuity in these tubes, inasmuch as 4& poison was placed in them. The vapor arising from this fluid was strong enough to kill persous within 20 fees of the spot where it escaped. The object was to prevent opening the tubes by force, and if any one did so to mete out the punish- ment deserved. By pressing the secret spring and opening the tube jn the manner intended the receptacie containing the polson would not be injured and could be removed without dan- ger, but woe to him who tried to force a way to the hidden wealth. “The intenge interest depicted on every face as Beausire finished caused me to look in astonishment from ene to another, but then it was a wonderful story, and what of it? The Chinaman was the first to speak. He had deserted the chafing dish to be nearer the reader. ‘Velly, velly tlue,’ gaid he. ‘Rich men dlo that in Chinaland.’' ‘Get back to your rarebit, you rascal,’ Beausire exclaimed; then to the senora said: “Would you like to see my curious bit of ivory? “T noticed that the semorita was breath- ing very rapidly when Beausire, in accord- ance with her aunt's wish, brought the wand from his stateroom, end again | re- marked the faces of all aa it was pau around the little table. * *T wonder if this can contain a fortune?’ he said, laughingly, before he returned it to the portmanteau.

Obsidian and Marplot, the Burns & Wa- terhouse entry, are not tc be overlooked. Marplot likes a soft track and with a strong boy up, has a good chance, His running mate Obsidian, has received special prepua- rations for this race and will run well. Sir Gatian only has S% pounds up. Look out for him. Lady Callahan will pack 313, the top weight.

Headley & Norton, her owners, $%,000 for her. May Hempstead, Admiration, Imp and Briar Sweet are now rated by Eastern critics as the greatest quartette of mares seen in years, “Speaking of horses,’’ said a local turf- man yesterday, “I would be willing to bet a very good cigar that I can tell the year- ling that will sell for the most money in 1900 if he lives until that time and ever reaches the auctioneer’s hands. Whew! but he is bred to race, and if there 1s anything in breeding he must make a very ‘crackajack.’ Think of the foal that has come to Mre. Byron ‘McClelland. A colt by Henry of Navarre, out of Sallie Mc- Clelland. Why, I'd rather own that colt than a bie block of ye we Railroad stock, and I’ve had at that this is not such a bad sort of thing to have in the family. Speed and stamina and alla man could want are in that youngster, and I'll bet that half the men in the Blue- grass region of Kentuck are drinking long life and perfect health to that colt right now. It looks like a golden e in a basket of Lawson pinks for the widow It looks as if Futurities, Derbys and Reali- zations were at the mercy of such a young- ster if he comes on all right.’ John McCann, who accompanies John Condon, the blind promoter, in all his walks about the track and buildings at Harlem, is an old-time jockey who used to ride for James Corliss, one of the owners of horses in the days when Kentucky was the home of the best in the world. Corliss was at one time a partner of Al Hankins and a thorough sportsman in every way. McCann was ljooking over the horses, jockeys and trainers at Harlem the other day when he soliloquizes about like this: ‘‘They may talk about the modern horse and system of training and riding, and while I believe in progression, I ean not admit that the new system is the best. I fail to see any horse that could run over a good distance of ground in these days, and certainly few that could run four-mile heats. As for the trainers and jockeys, they are not the class of the old days. They may ta of the Sioans, Mahers, Troxlers and the ‘“‘whipper- snappers’ at local tracks, but not one com- pores with Isaac Murphy, to my view. hey flop about Iike windmills when a horse is in motion, and when the spurs are used the whole sides of the horse show the marks. Far different from the old days, when the judge had to closely examine the horse for the spot on each side about the size of a ten-cent plece where the spurs were applied. When they pull a horse they throw up both hands like a woman, and It’s a wonder to me that they are not killed.” ewes nite 0 REALIZATION AND BRIGHTON. Those Two Great Races Will Be Run in the East This Week. NEW YORK, July 3.—Turf lovers will see two of the best races of the sea- son this week—the Realization to-morrow, the closing day at Sheepshead Bay, and the Brighton Handicap Thursday, the open- ing day at Brighton Beaohs n the opinion of the shrewdest observers Perry Belmont’s Ethelbert will find little difficulty in capturing the Realization. He is conceded to be the best $ year-old of the season with the —— exception of Jean Beraud, and Jean Beraud will not start in the Ralization. A. J. Joyner, his trainer, believes Ethel- bert to better condition now than ever been, and not only believes he will win the Reall- gation, but is eee to race Admira- tion, conced! her the sex ty ma f five pounda, e possible starters include Lothario, Half Time, Filon D'Or, Glengar, The Bouncer, Tamora and Hapsburs.

HE DEFEATED GEORGE LAVIGNE. It Was a Great Battle and the Betting Before It Commenced Favored the Boy From Saginaw. ‘ Frankie Erne of Buffalo fs the light- weight champion of the world, fie won that title at ‘Buffalo on Monday night when he defeated George Lavigne of Saginaw, ‘Mich. The betting before the mill was 10 tto 6 in favor of Lavigne. Lavigne’s seconds were his brother, “Billy” “Lavigne, Jimmy Robinson of New Orleans, Jack Hanley of Philadelphia and yo St. moe F of Saginaw, ‘Mich, mrnes seconds were Frank Zimpfer and ‘Billy’’ Huber of Buffalo. . ‘Honest John Kelly was the referee. ; & FIRANKTE WRNE. In the Dth and last round Tavigne’s countenance was anything but prepossess- ing, botheyes being closed. Rights and lefts to the ‘body brought Lavigne’s guard down and then Mrne smashed his right to the neck and hooked his right to the face with- out a return. Game to the core, Lavigne withstood this punishment and went to his opponent as if he were only beginning the bout. \(Brne was relentless, however, and forced the pace, fighting his man asif nis life depended on the result. Lavigne never weakened, but took his punishment like a stoic, but it was all day with him, and, though beaten almost to a standstill, he re- turned to his corner, having lost the cham- pionship but none of his many friends and admirers. George Dixon defeated Sam Polan before the Nonpareil athletic Club at Touisville on Monday night. ~j}xon knocked Bolan out in the third round. The Fair Grounds contingent Is all worked up over the battle that Jockeys Tip MclIn- tvre and Eddie Jones are to have at the West End Club next Friday night, it being the curtain raiser for the Casper Leon- Frank Cabrilliac bout. Harry Pigeon, who has Jone. in charge, on Tuesday said: “TIT seo by the Post-Dispatch that ‘Tip’ McIntyre hag young Casper Leon giving him pointera as to how to best Eddie Jones, whom the is to meet in the six-round bout | te ed night before the West End Culture lub. “I give Leon credit of being a capable instructor. However, I think pretty well of myself in that line and I can assure you that “ip’ won't have anything on the lit- tle Irish jockey. “I am putting Jones through the same course I often did Tommy Ryan. “After the races each afternoon I ‘box six rounds with Eddie and the way he has shaped is not only a surprise to me, but to inself, Iam pretty fast myself, but the youngster is twice as fast as I. am; and any bantam that can withstand his rushes must be a corker. Shoukd Junes ever be- come tired of riding, he could easily make a good living in the prize ring. “Te Leon thinks well of “‘Tip’s’ chances, whv I ghould like to bet him a few hun- Gred dollars at evens on the result. I am not very busy myself these days and should any jocal club hang up a suitable purse for me, f will take on any lightweight of repu- tation that they can secvrTe. “In regard to the Leon and Ceabrilliac con- test, t woukt like to wager $00 against $400 that Leon gets the decision. I can be found at the race track any afternoon.” ANOTHER MATCH RACE. Jack Joyner Ready to Back Ethelbert Against Admiration or May Hempstead. NPW YORK, July 4.—There is an inter- esting sequel to the Admiration-May Hempstead race at Sheepshead Bay in the shape of a defiance from Jack Joyner, the trainer of Ethelbert. “T’ll bet $6000 or 80,000 that Ethelbert c beat either or both of these fil - les,’’ Mr. Joyner to-day said, referring to Admiration and May Hempstead. “In a race at a mile Ethelbert will take uP 110 pounds and con- cede five pounds to either of both of them. The only stipulation I make,’ Mr, Joyner continued, “is that the race be not run until ten days after the Realization. This challenge no doubt will be of su- reme interest to William Engeman, the President of the Brighton Beach Racing Association. If Bthelbert and Admiration are to meet ten days after the Realization, Brighton must be their battle ground. Mr. Engeman, no doubt, would furnish a liberal amount of added money for what unques- tionably would be the most interesting ent of the year. owwith the running of the rich Realization at Sheepshead Bay on Tuesday the Coney Island Jockey Club will bring its most suc- cessful spring meeting’ to a close.

HAS THE LEAGUE IN A TIGHT FIX If They Do Not Come to His Terms He Will Join Forces at Once With the New Association. The news of the formation of a new base- ball jeague to be run independent of the National League has created a genuine Sensation in baseboll circles the country over. The fact that such well known and con- Servative baseball men as Anson of Chi- cago, Auten of Pittsburg and Scanlon of ashington have declared themselves as favoring the new league, and as likely to be parties in it, proves that the proposed organization is to be formed on first-class business principles and to receive the sup- port of some of the best-known baseball men in America. But the success of the whole scheme hinges on the attitude taken by Andrew Freedman, who is at present the nominal sole owner of the New York National League team. Freedman, it is said, is not only friendly with the promoters of the new deal, but he has indirectly given them the necessary encouragement on which they are basing their hopes of success. Freedman holds by right of 1@ years’ lease the two available grounds suitable for base- ball punposes in the city of New York. These two ball parks adjoin each other. One is the 'Manhettan field and the other is the famous polo grounds on which the league games are now played. A ten-foot aliey or passageway divides these two plots of ground, and James J. Coogan, who is at present a power in Tammany Hall, owns both, Coogan is hand in glove with Freed- man. Freedman has been sore at his fel- low magnates in the National League ever since he was forced to pay $1000 fine for the forfeiture of a game to Baltimore last fall. He dislikes Hart of ‘Chicago, and hates Brush of Cincinnati. He believes the hand of every league magnate is turned against him, and he has openly announced his in- tentions of squaring accounts with his ene- mies in the West. On the other hand, Hart and Brush have made no secret of their intentions to make things unpleasant for Freedman, They have claimed frum the first the present owner of the New York club is nothing more or less than a baseball wreck- er and deserving of scant courtesy from his business associates. In their eagerness to punish Freedman and blot out Freedman- ism, Hart, Brush and Rob:son, who are at present the controlling powers in baseball politics, have made it a point to ve New York the very worst of a raw deal, To their undisguised surprise, Freedman and his financial backer, Richard Croker, have simply laid low and made no effort to retaliate. Freedman made no effffort to strengthen his team, and, for reasons best known to himself, has even weakened the playing power -of the once famous has ‘organization known as the Gotham Giants. Lulled into security by the seemirg in- difference of Freedman, ®rush and art have figured on Freedman retiring from the game in disgust, but, judging from the de- velopments of the last six days, Freedman has been playing a game of his own and secretly promoting a scheme to over- throw the all-predomtinating power of the National League and to shatter at a single blow the far-reaching effects of the so- called National agreement. In a word Freedman figures on holding- his place and his vote in the National League council and at. the same tfme be-the head and front of a rival organization, the said rival organization to be given entry into the Metropolitan district and to play tts games on Manhattan Field. The Western League magnates are in all rebability interested in this latest base- Pall scheme. Ban Johnson, the president of that organization returned from an east- ern trip at a late hour last night and met Loftus of Columbus, Co- miskey of St. Paul, and Kil- lilea of Milwaukee, at the Great Northern, where they went into executive session. It is said that they are in sympathy with the movement to organize a new league and that they will join hands with the promot- ers of it. The St. Louis end of the proposed new organization is as solid as a rock. The men back of the enterprise have capital and brains behind them and all sorte of baseball experience. They have already a lease on the ‘best located baseball grounds in’ America, and when.the time comes they will have their park equipped as finely as any in the business, TUESDAY’S ENTRIES.
