SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH: THE COUNTY BELTLIME HE CENTRAL BELT RAILWAY CO. INCORPORATED. NO QUESTION OF EXPEDIENCY. (The Sole Right to Grant or Refuse In- volved; the Question of Power Its Not for the Secretary to Say. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 29.—Secre- tary of State Lesueur at noon issued a cer- tificate of incorporation to the Central Belt Railway Co. of St. Louis. The Secretary of State in the following letter to W. H. O’Brien, attorney for the 6t. Louis County Belt Line, and Charles Nagle, attorney for Washington Univer- eity, says: “In the matter of the articles of associ- ation of the Central Belt Railway Co., af- ter careful consideration I have concluded to file papers. “The extraneous questions as to the ex- pediency or inexpediency of the construc- tion of the proposed railway are not ques- tions to which the Secretary of State can give cognizance. The only thing for him to pass upon is the legality of the papers. This far he has a quasi judicial power, but no further. “Among the powers conferred by Article 8, chapter 42, R. S., 1889, under which it is eought to incorporate this company, are these, in section 2543: ‘Sixth, to take and convey persons and property on their rail- road by the power or force of steam or of animals or by any mechanical power.’ This language shows that it is elective by the incorporators as to which one of these pow- ers, or all of them, their corporation shall use. The fact that no railroad incorporated under this law has up to this time availed itself the privilege conferred by the Statute to use electric power shouid not militate against the cho:ce of that power. Such a construction would, if electricity is any Way better than steam, be a mere bar to progress, and the statute seems to have been carefully framed to meet conditions of advance in science. “It, therefore, seems clear that if these articies of association had contained only the affirmative declaration that it would operate the cars upon said railroad by elec- tric power they would have been within the requirements of the statute, which leaves the only question to be considered the one as to whether the negative propos:- tion stated, that it agrees not to use am, is of such a character as to invali- the article. I think not. I do not ‘ec these words constitute a contract he State, hecause there is no authori- law tor the making of such a con- | regard them as a mere surplusage in the articles and as of noneffect if in the future the public interest should de- mand the operation of the road by steam, but J not deem them of such foree as e i SI ada Jan.

(Alex de Menil of St. Louis, who holds a prom- inent place on three World's Fair committees here, is in Omaha now. After looking tNto the facts of the two expositions in that city, the Transsmississippi of last year and the Greater American, now holding, he writes this to the Post-Dispatch): Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. OMAHA, Neb., July 29. — The Greater America Exposition opened ite gates to the public on July 1, and bids fair to be even more successful financially than was the Transmississippi Exposition of last year. Many new features appear in this year's exposition, and many of the best of last year have been retained. The United States Government Building is filled with histor- ical portraits, documents and relics and mementoes of all kinds relating to the pe- riod of the Civil War. The Cuban Village, the exhibits in the Colonial Building from the Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, the Ha- Waiian Islands and Cuba contain muci:i of an educational nature, while mere shows like the Streets of Cairo, Darkness and Dawn, the Moorish Palace, Hagenback’s and others in the Midway afford amuse- ment for the time being. The grounds themeelves are greatly improved this year by the addition of palm trees, foliage plants, etc., and by @ more generous sys- tem of illumination. Besides, many of the departments, like the Art Gallery, under the directorship of Mr. John R. Key, the well-known artist, appeal more to popular inate. being more American in their ten- gaency. Kut my purpose is not so much with the exposition of the present as with that of ihe previous year. I desire to present a few facts and figures to St. Louisans who have not responded to our World's Fair ap- peals liberally as might have been ex- pected. The Transmississippi Congress, in session at Omaha in November, 1895, passed reso- lutions favoring the holding of a Trans- mississippi exposition at Omaha in 1898. On 18, 1896, th CpOsition Was ofganized 4 BOY FOUGH A nlGhWAYMAN, —_——— @&® —_— The Robber Tried to Seize a Horse and Wagon. HE MADE THREE ATTEMPTS. YOUNG GUSTAV ULRICH BATTLED WITH HIM BRAVELY. Belleville Lad Saved His Sister’s Horse and Wagon From a Man Who Was Determined tc Take Them From Him. Gustav Ulrich, a 15-year-old Belleville boy, was attacked three times by a high- wayman as he drove along the streets Fri- day night. He beat the man off each time and brought safe home the horse and wagon the man was trying to steal. Ulrich ie employed at Dobschuetz’ bicy- cle store on East Main street. His mother died a few weeks ago. Friday evening he procured the horse and wagon of his sister, Mrs. Margaretta Herzon, who keeps a bakery at 522 South lilinois street, and took some household ef- fects which had belonged to his mother from the former family home on East Main Street to the home of his brother on Cen- terville avenue. He was driving slowly back along Fifth Street, near the bridge across Richland Creek. The street at that point differs little from a country road. There are high weeds on each side and no residences are near. As he approached the bridge a man rose out of the weeds and running to the back of the wagon, sprang in. He commanded the boy to turn around and drive toward the woods on Winer’s Hill. For answer the boy picked up a piece of board from the bed of the wagon and Struck the man on the head with all his might. The man staggered under the blow and before he could recover, the boy gave him a shove which sent him out over the tail- gate. Gustav whipped up the horse and tried to get away, but the man ran and sprang into the wagon. ‘ Se HOW TO BE PROTECTED IN ST. LOUIS. NOTICE R ee a me EVERY MAN HIS OWN POLICEMAN.

At the corner of Fifth and Richland franchises, and when the Legislature ad- journed the battle was continued before the State Board of Equalization. Attorney-General Crow had expressed the opinion many times that the existing law gave the board ample authority to tax by the adoption of articles of incorporation and the election of a board of directors and officers. On June 10, 189%, Congress passed a bill appropriating $200,000 for a aovernment building and exhibit. Next, subscriptions to the amount of $404,720 were secured in Omaha and the surrounding country.

Those lines were suggested by a little story told of Henry Ward Beecher and Bob Ingersoll. Once they met in a railroad station. It was the day after Robert Burns’ birthday. Some Caledonian society had been celebrat- ing the event and considerable space was devoted to it by the newspapers. Those two bulbous-headed men fell to talking about the future life and things of that kind, when suddenly Beecher said: “Colonel, I have just discovered a good epitaph for you.” “What is it?” asked Ingersoll. Mr. Beecher tore a corner off a newspa- per he had been reading and handed it to the fat agnostic. The words were: 1 I] ate a biscuit and left. Naturally, people who think are wonder- ing where the spirit of Ingersoll now is. Did he appear to a medium at the Spring- field spiritualistic convention on last week or did he not? This is a question on which even spirit- ualists themselves are divided. See the full text of this medium’s speech and the opinions of believers in spiritualism in morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch.

There Will Be Showers Saturday Night But Sunday Afternoon Will Be Glorious. Official Weather Forecaster Hyatt de- clares that a drop in the temperature will occur to-night. He sighted a cooler wave Saturday morning from his seat of observa- tion in the dome of the Federa! Building and he declares he cannot possibly be mis- taken. ‘The drop is certain to come and the ther- mometer will stand from 10 to 15 degrees lower Sunday morning than it stood this morning,’ said he. “The cool wave will be preceded by light showers, which will make their appear- ance “ate this evening and will continue at intervals through the night.

The heat her2 will come to an end to-night, but theirs may continue indefinitely. ‘‘The cool wave will certainly be here by midnight Saturday. It may arrive a few hours before that, but it will certainly not be later and St. Louisans many be com- elled to do what the inhabitants of the Sorthweatar States did last nigtit—craw! under blankets,’ said Dr. Hyatt. NEWS SHRIEKED BY MACHINE The Strange World in Which Graham Found Himself After a Sleep of 200 Years. x A city whose smallest building Is perhaps three times as large as St. Patrick’s Cathe- dral, New York, a world where privacy, home life and domestic joys are unknown, such a future does H. G. Wells picture for our race in his wondrous romance, “When the Sleeper Wakes.” The hero of the story {!s one Graham, who falls asleep in the nineteenth century a comparatively poor man, and who wakes up after a nap of 208 years to find himself master of the earth. And a troublesome kingdom it proves. For people do not take kindly to restoring to its mghtful owner wealth they have come to regard as their own. There is peril, war and intrigue enough to make the aleeper wish he had slept on forever. It is a strange place, that twenty-second century world into which Graham awakes. How would you like to fall asleep to- night and wake to-morrow to find yourself in a century peopled by a race who think act and even love in_ utterly different fashion from yourself? How would you lfke to find that reading is a lost art? That a mixture of phonograph and kinetoscope has replaced booke? That newspapers are sup- planted by ‘“‘habble machines,” which shriek out the news of the day to the public? Flying machines are as prevaient in Mr. Wells’ twenty-second century as are bi- eycles in our time. There are no villages, countrysides or little towns. The great cities have absorbed them all. But it would be unfair to spol] such a book by bald statements of its wonders. Read it for yourself.

NEW YORK, July 29.—Mrs. Jameson, who conducts a book reading house at 35 West Seventeenth street, has furnished the police with evidence of what is considered a conspiracy to wreck with bombs many big buildings in this city. It is believed the conspiracy originated with two foreign- ers, one of whom, “Count”? Eugene Noroff, committed suicide in Central Park July 9, and the other of whom is declared by Mrs. Jackson to have ended his life soon after the death of Noroff. Evidence of the conspiracy, which Mrs. Jackson turned over to the police, was found in Noroff’s trunk, which had been left in her possession and which she opened. In thé trunk were five brass cylinders, each six inches long and from one-eighth to one-half an inch in diameter, some wires and a wooden block, three inches long, with a hole in the center stuffed with what is thought to be guncotton. With these were found diagrams of the Madison Avenue Hotel and many other large buildings in different parts of the city. Noroff was a native of Russia. The plans found of the Madison Avenue Hotel showed the arrangement of the rooms in detail on each floor, and many of the rooms were marked with mysterious-look- ing signs. One room was inclosed in an especiaily black circle. It was room 108 on the first floor. In the trunk were a lot of wire and six small chisels. The bombs are made of copper and are about six inches long. One end is closed over with copper. The bombs are filled with gun cotton and the other end sealed with solder. In a small hole in the solder is a percussion cap. They were found packed in cotton waste. MORMON ELDERS WHIPPED Indignant Georgia Citizens Resent the Utterances of the Disciples of Brigham Young.

He had endeavored to con- vinee the board of this last year, but falied. This year he had a powerlul ally in pub- lic sentiment. In an interview published Delow, State Auditor James M. Setbert admits that the board took up the taxation ot franchises because of the interest. that had been aroused by the fight before the Legis.ature, In considering what follows it must 0dé borne in mind that this assessment is made upon the basis of vuluations June 1, 1898, as the board could not take into considera- tion the recent enormous increase in the capitalization of street rallwaye in bl. Louls. ll Tne board also accepted Attorney-General Crow's method of assessing briuges and tei- egraph iines, that is, upon their earning power as reflected by the market vaiue Me their stocks and bonds, and increased | a assessment of the Western Union Peiegrapa Co. $huv,an, and of the St. Louis Bridge $150,0W. ‘These increases are based on [rali- chise values. Kuoilowing is the story was won, as shown by Board of Bxqualization. 3 In executive session the board had dis- cussed the assessment of franchises and had agreed that in view of the widespread demand for it, that some attempt snould be made to lay a part of the ourden of taxation upon tranchise properties. It was agreed to make a test assessment in advance of the regular assessment in order that the board’s aujhority might be settled before the value of all street rall- road properties was fixed. Mollowing this agreement on May 31 last Secretary of State Lesueur moved “that ihe Attorney-General! and the Secretary of the board be, and they are hereby requested to, prepare a exolution of assessment by this board on + es street railway, setting out the amount at which the board assesses the tangible property of the road, and the amount at which it assesses the franchises e road.” OF nates Seibert, who is Secretary of the board, and Mr. Crow prepared resolutions. They differed as to the method of assessing he franchises. Bs : the a Seibert's position was that the fran- chises should be specifically named in the enumeration of the property assessed, an the ground that such a form would bri raag yn an immediate legal contest, which wouid nettle the question of the board’s authority- to assess franchises.

The preceding General Assem- bly of ‘Missouri passed an act giving author- My to the State Board to assess the street railroads of the State. “I claimed that, as the assessment for 3898 of the street railroads would be made. if, at all, on the value of their property on zene » Read ae the statute so requires, the ' e Boar ad authority to assess th for 1898. y a Ss theimn “The attorneys of the street car compa- nies came before the State Roa rd and sub- mitted a legal argument to show that we could not assess the street railroads in 1898 then filed a written opinion with the boar. in which I held that we had the power to assess them. “The board refused to be guided by my opinion, doubting that I was right. The #treet railway companies refused to make a return of their property to the board for assessment and we were without any means of fixing a basis for essessment, as we had no scedule showing the items of property owned by the companies. “Therefore, on June 22, 1898, I offered a resolution instructing the Attorney-Genera} to proceed with the necessary legal steps to compel the street railroads to make a - proper return as required by the act of 1897, to the State Board of Equalization. “The reaolution was adopted and I, as Attorney-General, instituted a mandamus roceeding against the Southwest Missouri ectric Railway Co., and the company made the defense that the board had no au- saortty to assess the street railways for "The case was submitted to the Supreme Court on brief at once and the Supreme Court sustained my position and ordered the companies to make the return and held the State Board of Equalization could as- Sess their property for 1898. “After the returns were in I took the poai- tion the street railroads of St. Louis and Kansas City were not assessed high enough in tion to other property. 1 also claim that, as the franchises of these etreet car companies in St. Louls and Kan- gas City were the most valuabie parts of their property, that the franchises should be assessed and that the State Bourd had the authority to do so. I argued that tne valuable right cars, trolley and power-houses. That hence, franchise right to Operate cars and collect fares, paid dividends and whatever paid dividends should pay taxes. “I was voted down by the board But to sustain my position, on Aug. 26, 1898 I offered a resolution providing that the board proceed to fix a value for assessment on the street railways of Missouri «o as to @s near as practicable, in the judgment of the boarni, place said street railway prop- erty, for the purposes of taxation, upon an equality with all other property of the State.

Now on a writ of certiorar! nothing is reviewed by the court Dut what is in the record of the board or y whose action is in question. This be- ing true, from a legal standpoint. I, of course, wished to prepare the record of ent rade by the board, go that it Would contain no errors and show no ex- cess of jurisdiction on the part of the tate Boari of Equalization, as I wel! w if the record showed this state of acta, Judge Barclay would never be able to even get the Supreme Court to grant the writ of certiorari, Jet alone Quasn the @esesament. “Therefore I determined that the record @f the Btate Board of Equalization should Simply recite that we had given the strect railways an opportunity to be heard and that having yeard them and considered the value of their property. including their franchises, that we assess the physical tangible property, such as cars. rolling stock of all kinds and power houses, at patel so much end then ascertain the value of 3 the property as a Whole—as a street car it the lines and This amount wus in Operation-—by determining its earn- as reflected in the value of its rom this aggregate ‘ | wer houses, etc., and that thfs difference n these two amounts would represent all the other property of the corporation, no matter whether you called it franchise value or anything é€lse, and that, there- fore, if we simply recited in our recor that after assessing the power housés and cars, etc., at so much, we assess all other property at so much, that it would be an assesment record that the Supreme Court would not review. I proposed that wé do this by assessing the franchise value and including it in the item of all other prop- erty. The board adopted it. The asses5- ment was so made several weeks ago on the St. Louis & Suburban Railroad Co., which Judge Barclay represented. No writ of certiorari was ever issued by the Su- preme Court or any other court to review this record and quash the assesment, and I think this fact will justify me in stating that the assessment was a legal, valid one, because Judge Barclay had stated to myself and to the board that his road proposed to quash and have set aside the assessment of the street railway franchise of the company he represented by a writ of certiora¢i issued from the Supreme Court if possible. “Judge Barclay etated he thought the record of the Board should be made to show that we specifically named the fran- chise as being assessed at a specific amount, and that then he believed a writ of certio- rari would be issued and the record of the assessment quashed. “Mr. Siebert, in his proposed method of assessment, named specifically the fran- chise at being assessed so much, just as did Judge Barclay in his suggestion. “Here was presented the two methods. Mine was adopted, and the best evidence I was correct lies in the fact that as soon as the assessment was made in the way I have mentioned, the street railway com- pany at once announced they would have would have to fight the assessment in Some other manner, afid they never did even ask for a writ from the Supreme Court to set aside the assessment franchise as I prepared it. Between Mr. Seibert and myself it was merely a differ- ence of method in assessing the franchise. “The matter stood this way for several weeks, when on Monday last Mr. Seibert introduced a resolution saying that as the Street railWay company had not brought the matter into court that our former as- Sessment should be set aside, because the Street railway companies would fight it in another manner and tie up the State rev- enue. How much revenue of the State could be tied up in this way? If the street car compinies of St. Louis were assessed at ov per cent of their market value as | Wished to do, only about $50,000 of State revenue could be collected from them. Of this amount not more than $30,000 would be a tax on franchises. This‘certainly would not embarrass the State. Besides, if the companies contest the tax on the ‘ite f the assess . “g _—, Sssessment including the franchise they would have to pay all the takes they legal- ly owed, which would we the tax as I had it levied on all the tangible property, and that is all we taxed last year, so the State would in no event under my proposed method of assessment have been in any worse condition than we were before It is due Mr. Seibert and Mr. Lesueur in this connection to say they each voted against my method of taxing the-franchise and Capt, Pitts and Gov. Stephens voted with me and then unanimous.: “Capt. Pitts changed his vote on. Mon- ay and voted with Mr. Seibert and Mr. sesueur to set aside the assessment we hade made and to proceed and assess the street Trailways in some other manner. Capt. Pitts informed me he voted for my meth- od of assessment before believing that the companies would take the matter into court and have it settled, and, as they had not he thought we should assess them in some other manner. “After the method I had suggested had been set aside, I then offered a resolution assessing the cars, trolley wires and pow- er-houses and machinery and al] other tan- gible property except the road bed and superstructure at the value at which they were assessed in 1898, and that the dif- ference between this aggregate amount of the value of the above named property so fixed in 1898 and 50 per cent of the value of the entire property of the street raliway company as shown by the value of its stocks and bonds (including, of course, in this the franchise value) to be placed upon the roadbed and the super- Structure as the assessment for 1899; thus assessing under the item of the roadbed and superstructure the value of the fran- ¢hise instead of including the value of the franchise in the item of ‘‘all other prop- erty’ as I had done before. This resolu- tion was adopted by a unanimous vote, and the franchise value then assessed as a part of the roadbed and the superstructure and the franchise value is included in the item placed on the roadbed and the superstruc- ture. Thus the board finally agreed with me and taxed the franchises. ‘T -belleve we have assessed the franchises of the street railways of St. Louis fair- ly, and I am confident the assessment will stand the test of the courts. The board this year, on my motion, also assessed the franchise of the Western Union Company. under the item of all other property and increased the assessed value of the West- ern Union about $500,000.”’ State Auditor James M. Seibert declined to submit an interview on any phase of the question except in explanation of the fail- ure of the board to carry out its original plan to assess franchises as such. On this subject he made a very detailed statement, which follows: “During the session of the Legislature, the attempt to cause the enactment of a franchise-taxing law aroused a great deal of interest in tho ee all over the State. I wigh to say here that I was in favor of suoh a law. I could have been written in ten lines and should have been passed. When our board met after the adjournment of the Assembly we recognized the existence of this deep interest in the taxation of franchises, and since the Legislature had failed to enact a law, we knew that the people would expect us to do something. We discussed the subject at some length in ex- ecutive session and decided the best thing to do was to ascertain our authority through the Supreme Court. “Following this conclusion, on May 31! last Mr. Lesueur offered a motion, which was adopted unanimously, directing the Attorney-General and myself to prepare a resolution of assessment on a etreet rail- way, setting out the amocnt of the asses3- ment on the tangible property and the amount of the assessment on the franchise. According to our agreement, it was our purpose to make such an assessment at once, knowing that it would be contested. In order that there might be no delay, we arranged with two judges of the Supreme Court to take up the case at once and de- cide it. By this arrangement we could have had a decision so early as not to in- terfere with the regular assessment. If the case went against us, we could have made up our assessment in the old way, putting the total value on the tangible propery, just as we have done now. “In compliance with Mr. Lesueur’s mo- tion, I prepared a resolution assessing the St. Louis & Suburban Railway, which you will find set out in the record. In enumerating property, I fixed the value of the franchise at $1,200,490. 1 showed my resolution to Attorrey-General Crow. He took it with him to his office, and on the next meeting day he returned it to me. He had been in conference with ex-Judge R. E. Rombauer, and they had prepared a resolution, which Mr, Crow presented, and which you will find in tbe record. His resolution put the franchise value under the head of all other property. I was opposed to this for these reasons: We had agreed to make a test of our authority to assess franchises as Such and 1 believed we should go at it in the most direct way; and 1 was confident that we could not @wet a test by assessing them as ‘all other property;’ I believed such a subterfuge would endanger the public revenue, because I] Was confident the street railroads would not resist that form of assepsment until after the tax had been levied, when about 70 per cent of the revenue to be cerived from this class of property would be tied wp-.in oot ag ng there would — a settlement ; z The trouble — plano playing of one of the NEW YORK, Jaly 30.

The Pasteboard Heroes of the Paris Boulevards Are Silent and Para- lized as They Are Bowled Over, One by One. LONDON. July 29.—The disgrace of Gen. De Negrier has created a profound im- pression not only in France, but all over Europe, and has brought into prominent no- tice the depth of the civil as well as the military courage possessed by the new French Minister of War, Marquis De Galli- fet. Before him the pasteboard patriots who threaten terrible vengeance with the army if they were thrwarted by the Re- public double up and fall to pieces and the public is beginning to realize that at last the right man has been found to suppress the real traducers of the army, those who degraded its honor and shamed its uniform by intrigue. It is symbolic of the change in the situa- tion to see Gen. De Pelliux, who, in full regimentals, attempted to bully the jury in- to the conviction of Zola, now whining piti- fully for a pension from the position to which he has been disgraced. When Gen. de Pelliux searched Col. Pic- quart’s rooms ‘the found a bundle of love letters from a Mme. M. Dax, the wife ofa well-known Judge, to Col. Picquart. Gen. de Pelliux read the letters carefully and sent them to the woman’s husband, who, upon the evidence they furnished, obtained a judicial separation from her. When asked by Gen. de Gallifet if he had sent the let- ters Gen. de Pelliux denied on his word of honor that he had done so; but the Minis- ter of aWr found that the General had been lying, and hence the punishment imposed upon him was in even greater degree than it would otherwise have been. The removal of Gen. de Negrier tends to the ealvation ‘of the republic, as, if his flagrant insubordination had been overlook- ed, the discipline of the army could scarce- ly have be@n maintained. Details of the interview between Gen. de Gallifet and De Negrier show how misplaced was the con- dence of the public in Gen. de Negrier. When taxed with issuing seditious circu- lars, instead of boldly sticking to his guns, the general equivocated, prevaricated and behaved like a poltroon until forced into a corner. Gen de Gallifet then treated him like a whipped school boy and ordered him to go forth and fetch the original docu- ments. Even then Gen. de Negrier had not the courage to return until Gen. de Gallifet sent him a command to come and not forget the circular. Gen. De Gallifet’s communication, issued yesterday, in which be avowed full re- sponsibility for the disciplinary measures opted toward the generals, contrasting so strikingly with the pusilanimity of pre- vious French (Ministers of War, will add to the respect both of the army and the Nation for him, and fully justifies Premier Waldeck-Rousseau’s »20ld step in appoint- ing him to prescribe for a grave political disease. No member of the general staff has dared to lift a finger against Gen. De Gallifet. Gen. Zurlinden left Paris without a murmur; Gen. Pelliux, who lied to his superior, only asks for money; Gens. Boisdeffee and Gonse have done nothing to save their tool, Lieutenant-Colonel Du Paty de Clam. PINES BEHIND BARS — FEAR THAT A CONVICTED MUR- DERER WILL LOSE HIS MIND. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., July 29.—Richard Kessee, recently convicted of murder in the first degree in the Circuit Court at Buffalo, and held in the Springtield jail as a safeguard against mob demonstrations, pending appeal, sits in a cell day by day with his face buried in his hands, and his mood is so marked that the authorities fear he will go insane. Kessee is pining for the wife whom he married after he was arrested for mur- der and thrown in jail, and for the little children made motheriess by the death of his first wife. This convicted murderer is heartbroken. He takes barely enough food to sustain life. He seldom speaks ex- cept in answer to @ question. ae unusual features enter into this case of Kessee’s. A year or so ago he shot and killed David Shelby on the Court- house steps at Marshfield, Webster County. Slayer and slain were each prominent cit- izens of their county. They were neigh- bors, living on adjoining farms a few miies from Marshfield. They were leaders in the same rural church. To this pair the preach- er delegated the task of passing the contri- bution box. There was a discrepancy in the receipts. One accused the other. This started a feud. , Kessee’ had political] in- fluence, as farmer influence goes in an in- terior agricultural county. So had Shelby. From an unfortunate petty disagreement, is was but a step to a serious feud. Kessee and Shelby met at the Marshfield courthouse apparently by accident one day. There was a quarrel. but at the end of the quarrel, Shelby was stretched out in the courthouse yard, dead. A bullet from Kessee’s pistol him. Kessee was lodged in the Marshfield jail, but Shefby's friends—the neighborhood had taken sides in the feud—muttered threats, and Kessee was brought to Spring- field for safe keeping. Kessee's wife been dead several years, and at the time of the murder he was engaged a Webster County woman. fe offered release her from the engagement. She said: be all the more faithful to you. So while Kessee was in jail here, prior to his trial, he sent for his afflanced. responded. The Sheriff permitted him to leave his cell under a heavy guard. Kes- see siood on the courthouse balcony and was married. That evening the turned to the Kessee home in County and took charge of the household that was deprived of a mother by death and a father by imprisonment. She has often visited him since, but has never seen him except as he pressed his face against the bars. Kessee’s case was called in the Circuit Court at Marshfield soon after the murder, but a change of venue was taken to Dal- las County, of which Buffalo is the county seat. When the change of venue was an- nounced, he was removed to the Buffalo jail, where he remained until this week, when he was found guilty. Kessee is worth considerable money, and he will use it freely in_carrying his case to the higher courts. But up in Webster County, where they believe in “‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” the followers of the deceased Shelby declare that Kessee must pay the penalty. On the other hand, Kes- see's friends are active on his behalf. DAVITT NOT DISHEARTENED. Question of Royal Clemency for Mrs. Maybrick to\Be Again Raised.

FORMAL STATEMENT MADE. la’KINLEY ASKED TO REFUSE TO PERMIT THE CANAL’S USE NOW. As This City’s Former Protest Was Unheeded, the Mayor Asks That It Be Given a Hearing and Cites the Sewage Danger as Reae son for It. The suit which City Counselor Schnur- macher was directed to bring in the United States Courts against the opening of the Chicago drainage canal has not been brought, but Mayor Ziegenmhein has decided to tuke a hand in opposition to the big sewer. He Saturday addressed the following let- ter to President McKinley: ‘“MAYOR’S OFFICE “St. Louis, July 28, 1899. “To His Excellency, the President of the United States, ‘Washington, D. C.—Sir: On behalf of the City of St. Louis and her peqple, I join in ‘the protest of the inhabitants of the Iilinois Valley. against the permit recently issued by the Secretary of War, to the trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, authorizing them to cause the waters of Lake Michigan to flow into the Chicago River and the Drainage Canal, now nearing completion; and also join in the request, which I am informed has been made to you, to revoKe the permit sO granted. “I beg to state that when it was learned in St. Louis that an application was about to be made for said permit, a written pro- test was forwarded “at once to the Secre- tary of War, with a request that St. Louls be given an opporemmey to be heard in opposition to said application, before the same should be considered or acted upon. No such opportunity, however, was afford- ed, nor was the request of St. Louis ac- knowledged. “The danger to the people of this city and to the people of the Lower Mississippi Val- ley, should the sewage of the City of Chi- cago be discharged into the Mississippl River, which furnishes the supply of drink- ing water to thousands, cannot be over-~ estimated. The waterworks system of St. Louis will be rendered useless, and, for all practical purposes, destroyed. “Wien the Sanitary District was author- ized by the Illinois Legislature to construct a drainage canal, over 10 years ago, it was a generally accepted theory that running water would purify itself within a short distance, and that dilution would render sewage pdlilution comparatively harmless. Since then, however, all scientific men who have given the subject any consideration whatever have agreed that these theories are fallacious and they are no longer ac- cepted. ‘In view of the importance of this mat- ter, I respectfully ask, in the name of the City of St. Louis, that the permit re- ferred to be-revoked. The Sanitary Trus- tees will have an opportunity of again ap- plying therefor, in which event St. Louis and other interested localities would be afforded the opportunity of being heard in opposition to such application. “The perfect fairneas of this request must be apparent, and I, therefore, trust and hope that it will not’ Bbermade in vain. ‘TIT have the honor to be, very respect- lly, “HPNRY ZIPGENHEIN, ‘(Mayor of the City of St. Louis.” MOTHER AND CHILD BURNED Fire Destroys Three Boarding Houses in Dallas Causing a Loss of $10,000.

CANADA WANTS NO AGREEMENT. One Thing Seems Certain in Washing- ton, the Nations Cannot Contin- ue to “‘Muke Faces.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 2.—Administration officials are nettled by the utterance of Sir Charles Tupper and Minister of Jus- tice David Mills regarding the adjustment of the Alaskan boundary line. It is be- lieved such Canadian comments are in- tended more for effect on Great Britain than on the United States. It is expected that nothing definite looking to a settle- ment will be done until autumn. A high -Government official said to-day: “The fact that Cabinet Ministers as well as the leader of the opposition are so will- cmd to talk and make such charges against this Goyernment as they have been doing recently indicates that in Canada there is no desire to reach a settlement, but rather a disposition to render still more involved ® situation already badly enough compli- Taled. ‘We can only infer that Canadian public men are proceeding with deliberation and purpose. It looks to us as if their inter- views and statements constitute an unof- ficial method of informing Great Britain that Canada wants no settlement unless she obtains the entire territory in controversy. Canada must know that is impossible, con- sequently prefers no settlement at all.” No official will admit for publication that if @he question is not settled there is a possibility of the two nations drifting into a war of commercial reprisals, but confi- dentially this is admitted. It is certain the two countries cannot go on indefinitely making faces at one another. War is out of the question, but commercial reprisals are extremely probable. . Sir Charles Tupper continues to urge upon Canada the adoption of a law keeping aliens out of the Klondike, and it would surprise no one if finally Laurier should indorse the suggestion. That undoubtedly would lead to retaliation on the part of this country, until at last the United States might repeal the bonding privilege and Canada discriminate against American manufactured goods. Both in Canada and England it {s assert- ed that the United States refused to sub- mit the boundary question to arbitration unless Great Britain in advance admitted that the question as to the title of the towns of Dyea and Skaguay should not be subject to arbitration. The facts are that during the sessions of the Joint High Co mission the British government not ony recognized that the towns were American, but also recognized that a question of greater note than sovereignty was involved, as any change in the ownership of the two towns would mean the transferring of na- tionality of between 5000 and 6000 persons. CANADA’S CLAIM SET FORTH. the Proper Initial Point. ‘ OTTAWA, Ont., July 2.—The following statement concerning the Alaska boundary dispute has been prepared by David Mills, Canadian Minister of Justice: | “The United States obtained the cession of this territory from Russia at a time when the Alaska claims were unsettled, a the long strip of territory extending frd Mount St. Bilias, along the coast to t southeast of Prince of Wales Island, oug undoubtedly to be a Canadian possessiqn. If a similar strip of territory lays between the mainland of the United States and the sea, [ am quite sure its acquisition by us would be regarded as a menace to that country. But it is too late to consider ho far this is injurious to this country. : “Under the treaty of 1825 the line drawn between the recognized territory of Russia and Great Britain was begun at the south- east of Prince of Wales Island, and from that point was to ascend north along e channel called Portland Channel. This could hardly be the channel called Po land Channel in Mexican maps, because Portland Channel of this map is due egst of the southern extremity of Prince jof Wales Island, a distance of 130 miles. “The line was to ascend the channel tq a point on the coast on the d56ta degiee of north latitude. Now, what is known jas Portland Channel falls short of that point. The line was also to extend north in such a way as to leave Prince of Wales Island to Russia. If the boundary started from the south extremity of Prince of Wales Island and ran due east, it would have left the whole of the island to Russia, but if drawn north from the south extremity it would have cut off a — portion of the outheast end of the island. : “So the treaty would indicate a line drayn up that ohnannel which is east of Prince of Wales Island to the 56th degree of North Latitude, a point which could not pe reached by what is now known as Port- land Channel. So you see the initial pownt of the boundary is in controversy. “The boundary when it reached the SO h degree was to follow the summit of tne mountains, which extend in,a line parallel) to the coast from the iéth degree to Mme intersection ‘with the 149th parallel, but when the mountains proved to be mare than 10 marine leagues from the coast the limit between the British possessions 41 to be a line parallel to the but which shouid never exceed a distance of 10 marine leagues.. It is clear that the makers of the treaty assumed that there was a moun- tain range which yp most part was within 10 leagues of the coast. | ‘The Bos» alyo provided that neither contracting party shall form settlements within the territory of the other. he llnited States received all the rights of Russia and no more. But the United States authorities seem to think that not only have they the right to form settlements on our side but also that when they do so the territory ought to be considered as theirs and under no reference to arbitration should the sovereignty over our trritory thus en- croashed on be open to question. “The United States refuses to arbitrate unless we abandon our claim to the Lynn Canal. Why should we abandon it” If it is ours why should we not have it? The the coast was winding of the coust, last | les British commissioners offered to compro- mise. The United States rejected the offer because it recognized our claim to Pyra- ' mid Harbor and a strip of territory leading ' therefrom to what is indisputably our ter- ritory in the Yukon. Under this compro- mise the United States would have held both Dvea and Skegway, which we think are in Canadian territory.” BACON WILL BE PRESIDENT. B. & O. S. W.

In the assessment of street railways upon a basis nearly equal to the assessment of tangible private property is a de- cided victory for the principle of equal taxation. By this decis- fon the State Poard of Equalization recognizes the taxable na- ture of street railway franchises, and thus practically settles in favor of the people and in favor of justice in taxation the fight begun during the recent session of the General Assembly. The fruits of the victory are not as full as they ought to be, but a good start in the right direction has been made. The principle of franchise taxation having once been recognized, there can be no retreat by the taxing authorities of the State. The fight for the enactment of a law defining a fran- chise and requiring that such property be assessed and taxed on an equality with other property was vigorously sustained by the Post-Dispatch. This just legislation was blocked by the corrupt railroad lobby which dominated the General Assem- bly. This fight, however, aroused a public sentiment in favor of franchise taxation which the State Board of Equalization could not ignore. The result is an increase of the assessment of street railway properties 150 per cent, or from, in round Numbers, $7,500,000 to $17,500,000. This increase represents the franchise value, and-it is so stated in the resolution of assess- ment, but in order to avoid the danger of the assessment be- ing declared void by the courts in case of a contest, the fran- chise value has been distributed over the roadbeds and super- etructumes of the various lines. Legal authorities who have studied the form of the assessment do not believe, however, that it will be contested. ‘ The ‘rst step having been taken it is only necessary for the people to continue the struggle in order to insure the absolute equality of taxation. They have only to persist in the demand for justice and to elect representatives pledged to the prin- ciple. The next Legislature should have a popular mandate for a franchise taxing law which will cover all property of that nature. -. = = i a If it cost the late Legislature $300,000 for clerical work in which there are more blunders than have been made at any previous session, it only shows to what lengths politicians will g0 when not held to the strictest accountability. It is clearly the fault of the voters that we have such Legislatures as this. = = * AN APPEAL TO WOMEN. Women are making their way in the government service as they are everywhere else. The Bureau of Ethnology at Washington has two women ethnologists. The lobster and crabs expert of the Smithsonian ; : - ~-Institution is a woman; the most respected authority on mam- mais in the National Museum is a woman; so is the most skilled entomologist, and the chief librarian of public docu- ments.

Women have demonstrated their capacity for work in com- petition with men. Why do they not use their power to the utmost? In politics, for instance. Women have no votes, but they pay taxes and their personal influence actively exerted might work wonders, especially in municipal affairs. Won't they please help us out? Public affairs in St. Louis are in a sorry state. The hour is here, but where is the man? There is an opportunity for some woman. Lobsters and crabs and bugs are all very interesting, but not more go than poli- tics, and the right woman can make a career, Don't shrink; lend a hand and help us out. = SS i id If it is true that Admiral] Dewey has predicted that our next war will be with Germany, it is much to be regretted. Such an utterance from so popular a hero encourages the war spirit, which is generally all too active in every part of the world. We should talk peace now, if ever. A war with Germany or any other power is not desirable, however successful our arms might prove. Perhaps our great Admiral has been misquoted, IS NOT THIS A TRUST? In his message apologizing for the approval of the street railway monoply bill Gov. Stephens declared that the measure did not authorize the creation of a trust monopoly and that it was designed to benefit St. Louis. In the scheme of monopoly published in the Post-Dispatch the public may find proof of the falseness of the Governor's defense. The whole monopoly scheme is exposed and the Governor and the State Legislature are convicted of con- spiring with monopolists to consummate the game of boodle and grab by which St. Louis has been robbed of millions of dollars’ worth of franchises, and to coin them into a huge blanket mortgage on the streets and transportation privileges of the city. The monopoly formed by the consolidation of the St. Louis street railways is of the essence of a trust. The properties will be operated through a corporation entitled the St. Louis Transit Company, formed for that purpose. The transactions necessary to complete the plan of purchase will be consum- mated through a specially formed trust company and the entire control of the stock and the properties is vested in the “managers.” These trust managers not only control the Stock but have absolute power over the street railway trans- portation of St. Louis. The financing of the scheme shows clearly where the bene- fits of the monopoly go. It exposes the real reason for the expenditure of thousands of dollars for the passage of the monopoly law. At one stroke of the pen the capitalization of the consoll- dated railways is raised from $40,000,000 to $90,000,000, Of this vast capital $65,000,000 is water and represents an ex- cess of capital over the cost of construction. Not less than $45,000,000 is new water. This is the trust monopoly profit, the rake-of of the syndicate and trust promoters. Not a dollar of this $45,000,000 of new capital is earned. It is the monopoly value of the franchises turned over by the legislatures of the city and State to the franchise grabbers and trust promoters. Every dollar of it will be paid by the people in excessive fares without a cent of compensation. It is pure plunder. The franchise grabbers and trust pro- moters could have well afforded to pay millions for their fran- chises and for the privilege of monopolizing them. In the estimate of advantages from the monopolizing of the properties Division Manager Jilson Coleman puts down a saving of $373,531.66 from economies. This is a saving from a reduction of plants, a reduction of employes, a reduction of salaries. Every dollar of it is added to the profit. Not a cent is credited to the people in reduced fares or increased facilities. Mr. Coleman estimates an increase of earnings of 6 per cent a year. The gross earnings will increase in six years, under ordinary circumstances, from $5,826,562.56 to $8,265,090.34. All of this increase is to come from the growth of St. Louis and the increased use of the street railways. The increased profit will be created by the activities of the people and not by the capital or labor of the street railway trust magnates. Let the people of St. Louis and Missouri study this ingenious scheme for absorbing the wealth of a community by legalized privilege and monopoly flat and determine whether or not the law passed by the Governor and the Legislature was a trust enabling act. In the light of these developments let them form an gpinion of legislators and Governor who made the legal opportunity for such wholesale trust plunder. This trust scheme was consummated with the approval of Gov. Stephens for what? an = = * i i All the Western railroads are reporting increased July earn- ings.

One of this class of original doubters is Mr. Jonathan Rice, head of the great wholesale dry goods house of Rice, Stix & Co. Mr. Rice is a broad- minded, strong business man.

I saw, or at least thought I saw, and I was not alone in this opinion, that it would be detrimental to certain lines of business in which I was interested; but when I attended a meeting of the Busi- ness Men’s League last winter, where every branch of trade was represented, my opposition to the movement was of so mild a character compared to the unbounded enthusiasm of my many friends in its favor, that I quickly concluded that the majority must be right, and that as a good citizen I should cheerfully sacrifice at least my opinions “pro bono publico.” My active and unqualified sup- port of the movement since that meeting is too well known for further men- The opportunity is now presented to St. Louis to go to the front, throw off some of her conservative ideas, andlet all the people of the world know we are in for a World’s Fair on a scale of grandeur to fitly commemorate the event it is proposed to celebrate. Nothing great was ever accomplished in this line by making pessimistic prophecies instead of liberal subscriptions. cies, good or evil, are plenty enough and cheap enough, but what the promoters of this enterprise want from the people of St. Louis, and what they have a right to expect right now, is liberal subscriptions. every citizen of St. Louis, rich or poor, for investment in this scheme must not its consummation means increased population, tenants for Prophe- offered The opportunities it, for people of every vocation.

OOD] e O0Ooed ? OOOO OD OD-O-S © Oe AO, YRON WALTER stood still and M looked at the fair sylvan picture, gilded with the tints of sunset—a frank, brown-faced young man, with dark, pleasant eyes and a wavy brown beard. His mother, a rosy matron of 40 or there- abouts, was feeding a flock of downy chick- ens at the back door. She glanced up with @ smile, “Why, Myron, what makes you look so grave?” she asked. ‘Tl was thinking how 6oon our happy lIit- tle home circle would be broken up, moth- er. Do tell me what possessed you to tell these people they might come?’ A troubled look came over Mrs. ter’s dimpled face. ‘Why, you know, the Seymours were so anxious they should come—and the house is large and roomy, and I thought the money would replenish the parlor and—but I never would have consented had I known how much you objected to it.” With the next evening’s stage the ‘“‘city boarders” arrived at the old Walter farm- house—Mrs, Cressy and her two daughters and niece, Mrs. Cressy was 4 blooming, well-pre- served widow of 50. Mise Louisa was a mature maiden just into the 30s, and Miss Clara was 10 years younger and gotten up Wal- “MARY, IF YOU PLEASE.” in the extreme of fashion. Mary Lee, the niece, a slight, prett rl of 17, seemed elected to wait on all the rest and make herself generally useful. Mrs. Cressy and the Misses Creasy were in raptures cver the “de-lightful country air and scenery.” They played croquet and gathered wild flowers, they quot poetry and ate blackberries and cream in the twi- light until Mre. Walter wondered if they would ever be satisfied. a “It's hard work keeping boarders _the plump farmer’s wife said to herself, “‘es- pecially the sort that can’t close a win- ow or fetch a giass of water for them- selves.

I want to earn my own living.’’ “*But, dear heart, you aren’t used to that sort of thing,’’ cried Mrs. Walter. ‘‘Look at your pretty white hands.’’ “I can learn,’”’ pleaded Mary. ‘As for my hands, you will see how busy they can be in spite of their color.” * . = * . . 7 When Myron Walter came down the next day he found Miss Lee in a calico dress of his mother’s and a _ prodigious -apron washing vegetables at the sink. ‘Miss Lee!?’’ ‘Mary, if you please, Mr. Walter,” she sald, with a roguish sparkle in her blue eyes; ‘I am your mother’s hired girl now.”’ . “Are you in earnest?” “I never was more 60 in my life.” ‘“May I ask the reason of this—this strange whim?’ “It is no whim, Mr. Walter. I am sick of being dependent. I want to earn my own living. Your mother has kindly con- sented to try me and I fam resolved to deserve her confidence.”’ ‘And I honor your noble self-reliance,” Myron Iinvolnutarily cried out. Mrs, Cressy was indignant. Clara and Loulsa shrugged their shoulders, exchang- ing meaning glances and opining that ‘(Mary would soon get tired of playing kitchenmaid.’’” But Mary sang about her work ag blithely as a linnet and seemed happier with every passing day. And when Mrs. Walter paid her her first week's wages she felt rich. “Mary,” said Mrs. Cressy, one sunshiny September afternoon, when the early grapes were just beginning to ripen against the south wall, ‘‘we are going back next week. Of course you will abandon this fancy of yours and return with us?” “Of course I shall not,’’ Mary Lee laugh- ingly answered. “Do you mean to stay?” ‘Certainly.’ “Very well,” haughtily responded Mrs. Cressy. “You a@re your mistress. as you please. But when I come back here next summer——” “You will not come, said Mary calmly, ‘To be sure we shall,” said Mrs. Cressy. “The place is beautiful and healthy, the fare is. excellent, the price moderate, ’ said Mary, “but we shall not take ORR Cereus next summer.” e? “My husband and myself. I am to be mar- ried to Myron Walter in November.” “A common farmer!” cried Mrs. Cressy, who had maneuvered vainly and hard to se- cure the well-to-do young farmer for her own somewhat passe Louisa. Quite good enough for me,” said Mary, quietly, But in her heart she thought Myron Walter the best and noblest of all created beings.—Milwaukee Journal. MOTHER MONKEY’S LULLABY.

SAY THEY ARE DOING NOTHING. Comiskey Going Around With and Jol- lying the Would-Be Leaders of the National League. CHICAGO, July 29.—Harry Pulliam of the Louisville Club came to Chicago yes- terday morning unannounced and joined the colony of magnates who have been for four days rounding up in Chicago. Tele- rams from Indianapolis declare John T. rush is moving to Chicago and will join| Hart, Rogers, Von der Horst, Frank Robi- on, Ebbitts and Pulliam to-day. Yet these magnates say nothing is doing in baseball and each declares he just hap- ened to be tn Chicago. Brush will just appen to come this morning, Pulliam just happened to drop in from Grand Rapids, Hbbitts just happened up from S8t. Louis, and Col. Rogers, who has not traveled with the Philadeiphia Club for years, just hap- pened to come to Chicago to see the Quak- ers play. Just why Wagner, Freedman and the Boston triumvirate do not just happen to come to Chicago is not explained. hese magnates, a colossal aggregation of George Washingtons, declare they are not meeting to discuss the league situation, yet from all over the country come stories of the forming of a rival league. It is said the National League magnates have de- cided to form the rival league themselves, Splitting the 12-club circuit, and, with the assistance of Western League magnates, forming two eight-club leagues. Comiskey and Loftus of the Western League are close to the National League promoters. Both are anxious to get into a bigger cir- cuit, and Comiskey has been with the mag- Nates all week. From evidences all over the country the romoterg of the rival league are busy. oftus is announced to be the man to put a rival club in Chicago. Anson is also men- tioned. The players of the National League @re ripe to jump and are longing for a frac- ture of the national agreement, believing competition will increase salaries. , The prospect-of the establishment of an- other league is thought to have brought the magnates to Chicago. Three of them ex- pected to go to St. Louis yesterday morn- ing, but all remained in Chicago. Yet they say no meeting was held. And Brush is ex- pected to-day. Perhaps the crowd of magnates who just happened tocome to Chicago will just hap- pen to hold a meeting and just happen to agree to thwart the plans of the makers of a rival league by conciliating eome West- ern league managers and establishing the “rival: league’’ under the control of the baseball trust. George Schaefer, one of the leaders in the new St. Louis club, was shown the above dispatch. e laughed at the talk of Comiskey and Loftus joining hands with the League peo- le. “Loftus and Comiskey.” said he, ‘“‘are foxey boys, and while the League folks think they are jollying them they are be- ing worked themeelves. “No league that the National League folks can organize will have a ghost of a chance against our organization. “Their’s would be labeled ‘shop made,’ while ours will be a clean and thoroughiy Independent organization. ‘Aek Chris Von der je >, * 26 ooRdDe, The above is a likeness of Mike Donlin, the young California player who has made such a hit with the St. Louis club, not Only as a pitcher, but as a shortstop.

The course was the usual mile and a half with a turn, ail the races starting and finishing in front of the Union Boat Club. There was not a protest to be considered at the end of the day’s sport. The great senior four-oared shell race was especially the feature of the afternoon. Three crews were entered for the race: The Pennsylvania Bargle Club of Philadelphia, the Brockville Rewing Club of Brockville, Ont., and the Western Rowing Club of St. Louis, but the latter crew got a poor start and had a lot of bad Juck, and was almost left behind from the very start of the other two. Pennsylvania and Brockville were very evenly matched, but the former had a stroke for them in Dempsey that practi- cally won for them the race. Pennsylvania won, Brockville was second and St. Louis third and last. Maddenvilles and Kirkwoods. Under the new management of Thos. B.

The Second Shoot for It Will Take AIR CROWN j IT WILL COME TO A CLOSE FOUR WEEKS FROM TO-DAY. Caesar Young's colt Villmar won the heat race at the Fair Grounds Friday from Barriso. The latter won the first heat, while Vill- mar finished third. Villmar was away bad- ly, but was probably laid up in this heat. In the second heat Villmar galloped, while Holden, on Barriso, was all but left at the post. . Holden did not try with Barriso this time, and, as a result, he was taken down and Houck put up to ride the Kavanaugh colt in the final heat. Villmar was a 2 to 5 shot in the last heat, and though he looked a little stiff just romped home. Libbie, who finished second in the second heat, was given third place. Eitho:in galloped home in the first in front of Rushfields and Elsmere. In the second race. the speedy filly Elbe tow-roped a field of aged horses, Necklace finishing second and Sen Sen third.

New York at Cincinnati. Washington at Pittsburg. Philadelphia at Chicago. Baltimore at Cleveland. Boston at Louisville. Two games. George Cuppy, the old “has been,” (7) pitched a great game against the Brooklyn team Friday, shutting them out. The final score was 5 to 0. Not only did Cuppy pitch well, but he puzzled the Superbas so that only one man reached second during the whole game. Donlin, the young Californian, played short, and, to the surprise of every one, the little left-handed twirler played a mag. nificent game. He filled his position with- out an error and figured in two pretty double plays. The St. Louls team never played a more perfect game than they did Friday. Every- thing worked like a put up job and St. Louis made the League leaders. look like 4 cents in bad Paoney. The St. L lyns again on : noons. Monday the champion Bostons will be the guests of the ‘Tebeauites®for three days and in that time play four games. For Wednesday, the last day of their stay, a double-header is billed. After this series the Perfectos will be abroad until August 20, visiting Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Baltimore. Washington and Philadelphia before their return. They make two Sunday stands in Cincinnati. steam will play the Brook- turday and Sunday after- There are many points of similarity be- tween the Cincinnati and Chicago teams. Both are in cities which patronize the game liberally, and both teams have failed to fulfill the expectations of their supporters. Comparing the Reds with the Bostons, a Cincinnati critic says: ‘The Bostons are champions from having won the honor last season, and are playing in championship form this season. The much-boasted CincinnatkClub is the unreal champion team. From it much was ex- pected and but little, except disappoint- ment, realized. Taking the real champions’ outfield, Duffy, Hamilton and Stahl, how does that of the Reds, Selbach, Houtz and ‘Miller, compare with it? Odiously, eh? Then the infield, Collins, Long, Lowe, Ten- ney, cOmpared with Steinfeldt, Corcoran. McPhee, Beckley, is, if anything, more odious. (To go into a discussion of the bat- teries is to make more prominent the unre- ality of the unreal, and that, too, is odious. The fact is manifest that the Cincinnati Club, as at praesent constituted, is a coun- terfeit pretender for the position of honor in the championship race. “It is a fact well known, but what good is there in criticising, the dyed-in-the-wool admirer of the local team (if there be. one remaining) perhaps says. Just this much good: The management should have the weakness of the team made known and make known that it is known. Except Philadelphia and Chicago, there is not a better baseball city in the country than Cincinnati, It should have a creditable team. The weak places should be strength- eped and that comes prety near being a demand for an entirely new club.” The following statement from Nichols. the premier pitcher of the champion Bostons, should be taken to heart by some of the convivial spirits on other teams: “I never drink beer or whisky or chew tobacco,” said Nichols the other day. “I scarcely know what intoxicating liquor tastes like. I have been pitching professional ball about 11 years. I can pitch a game every third day, and in a pinch can pitch every -other day. Yes, I attribute my powers of en- durance to my habits. However, I don’t think it hurts a pitcher to take a glass of beer once in a while.”’ It is said that Tom Loftus is casting his optics toward Cleveland. He had bet- ter let well enough alone. The people there are too busy with street car troubles to go to ball games. This is the way a Philadelphia paper eae even with an umprie for bad work: ‘‘Um- pire Smith’s efforts to keep up with the base runners is laughable. He waddles like a duck.” If you don’t see your score in this column to-day look for it to-morrow. A good all-round player would like to join some good team in or out of town. Address G.

The Big Fellow Tells Just What He Will Do When He Arrives on the Other Side. George Dixon, the world’s champion featherweight, its to-day celebrating the 2th anniversary of his birth by an extra amount of training at his quarters near this city, where he has been for the past two weeks preparing himself for his 20-round battle with Eddie Santry, which takes place at the Fourteenth Street Theater Monday night. Dixon, who to-day stands as the only world’s champion that this country ‘has ever produced, is truly the most marvelous and greatest figating machine the ring has ever produced, and in his career has fought over 1200 different boxers in contests. When one stops to consider that Dixon is the only champicn left of the original “Rig Four,’ John L.,Suilivan, Jack Demp- sey, Jack McAuliffe end George Dixon, and that he is to-day engaging in more con- tests than any other pugiiist, it is impossible to deny him the honor of being the great- est pugiiist, big or little, the world has ever produced. Since Dixon has held hig#title the heavy- weight division has had Tour champions, Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmcns and the present champion, J. J. Jeffries, while the shifting in the middle and lightweight divisions have been equally numerous, Eddie Santry, who will strive to wrest the title from Dixon, is to-day conceded to be the foremost and best candidate for the title, and his youth, cleverness and ag- gressiveness should make him a hard prop- osition for “‘Little Chocolate” to wsefeat. Both boys have left no stone unturned to prepare themselves for their task. and both sey they are in the pink of condition and he 1 have no excuse to offer in caso of de- eat, Santry arrives here Sunday morning, ac- companied by his trainers and a delega- tion of Chicago “rooters,””’ who will bet their ‘‘roll’’ on their favorite. George Siler will referee the contest. “Kid’’ McCoy will be in Santry’s corner and Tom O’Rourke will handle Dixon. A good 10-round preliminary has bectn ar- ranged between “‘The Terrible Dago”’ and Lou Bennett. The trip of Jim Jeffries to Europe is principally a business one, but he expects to have plenty of time for pleasure. He is anxious to see the sights abroad, and will travel extensively on the continent. i to date Jeffries has two matches with ng- lishmen which look like easy money. On his arrival in England ‘he will do light work for his 10-round go with Charley Mitchell. This bout Jeffries thinks is a cinch, and, as he puts it, ‘It’s a shame to take the money.’ After Jim is through in London he will go to Paris, where he is scheduled to box Jem Smith, the former champion of Eng- land. Smith is also a “has been.”’ Ar- rangements have been made whereby the champion will give exhibitions at the prin- cipal theaters in London and Paris, Jeffries said just before sailing: ‘“T have never been abroad before. I have often had opportunities to cross the ocean, but I made up my mind that if I went it would be as champion of the world. “Having sacceeded in acquiring that title, I am prepared to travel any place to pro- tect it. It makes little difference ta me who my opponent is. If he is anxious to fight and penta a forfeit he will be accommo- dated. “TI go to England as the American cham- pion, and each and every Englishman who thinks he has a claim to the title can have a match. I bar no man living.’”’ Just before the vessel sailed a handsome life-sized picture of Jeffries Was presented to him by Martin Dowling. When the steamer pulled out into the stream Jeffries held aloft a brand-new American flag and waved it in a parting salute to his friends. Jeffries was scarcely at sea when Fred Bert called upon Al Smith and turned over to him Jeffries’ forfeit in the shape of a certified check for $2500. Each man having put up his $2500 forfeit money there is not a straw in the way of Sharkey and Jeffries not coming together as per cortract in October. Billy Ratchford in the first round of his mill with Harrv Forbes at Chicago Friday night hit Forbes a blow in the stomach and knocked him out. The fight was given to Forbes by the referee on a foul. This was exactly the way Ratchford lost to Pedlar Palmer in England. George McFadden and Joa Gans fought a 20-round draw at Baltimore Friday night. ennai SATURDAY’S ENTRIES.

It has been the rule in Texas and New Mexico that cattle at 2 years old have been taken over by range men from Mon- tana and Dakota, driven off to the North- ern ranges, there matured and sold as beef on the Chicago market, with large profits to the range men. We believe that with such a company as is proposed the | ranchmen will be enabled to keep the young cattle on. their ranches to mature them there and, tnstead of selling them as 2- en a ik ay $20 Agee to hold them e dispose market at $50 or pa a company Of the n by several hun- howed Pd ig ted Ss ons rus him by such ranch owners a the Cape tal Institute of Chicago and Texas, at the head of which is former United States Sen- ator Farwell of Chicago.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 29, 1899 SAYS NOME IS RICH [PAY FOR GOING TO A FUNERAL CONFLICTING STORIES COME FROM THE GOLD FIELDS. OR. HULTBERG SUCCESSFUL. The Man Who Discovered Gold in the District Declares the Yellow Metal Plentiful. —— ST. MICHAEL’S, July 17, via San Fran- Cisco, July 29.—Dr. Hultberg, the Swedish missionary who firet found gold in Cape Nome, arrived yesterday from his claim, en route to Golovin Bay, where he owns Valuable ciaims on Ophir and Melsing Creeks. Hultberg brings the information that several promising quartz properties have been found in the Nome district, and While he is reticent regarding the exact location of the find and the value of the quartz. he does not disguise the fact that the ledges carry gold in large quantities, “The discoveries were made two weeks ago.”’ said Dr. Hultberg, “‘and are in the mountains back of the creeks. The quartz carries considerable eulphur and is stained with fron. En several of the claims tne ledges are clearly defined and when thor- oughly prospected will no doubt prove very rich. This simply carries out the theory that has all along been advanced that, with so much in the beds of the creek6, there must be a large deposit of quartz Somewhere, and I believe we have struck that deposit. I own two or three claims and Price and Lane own several. “On my claim No. 5, above Anvil Creek, I have 20 men at work. They began sluic- ing to-day and there should be a handsome clean-up. Dr. Kittleston’s-claim, on this Same creek, is showing up very Pich, and the same may be said of No. 8, belong- ing to Price & Lane, and there are rica claims also belonging to Lun derberg, Lind- bloom and Bryntsen on Anvil and Snow ereeus. Especially rich is Bryantsen’'s claim on Snow Gulch. culty in getting water with which to work the claims on Snow Gulch, but little sluic- ing will be done until next spring, when the Snow begins to melt. The same trouble exists on numerous other creeks where there is no water except that obtained from melting snow. The properties located on these creeks will have to be worked up in the fall and winter and sluiced in the spring. Some very good prospects have been found on Dexter and Glacier creeks, but they seem to be spotted. As to the Other creeks of the district no prophecy can be made, none of them having been rospected as yet. That they are rich, owever, Ij have nq doubt. “There are a great many idle men about the camp, but this is their own fault, as there is a very heavy demand for labor, and furtherfore there are excellent oppor- tunities offered for lays, It is this idle class who got up such meetings as the one held Monday night, and which Lieut. Spalding very properly dispersed. The crowd intend- ed passing a resolution throwing open the district for relocation and jumping the best claims. Such an action would have result- ed in bloodshed, and there is no telling where the trouble would have ended, be- cause many men would have defended their claims with their lives. “Nome is a rich district and an extensive one, but it is no place for a person to win- ter in if he is not well supplied with warm clothing and sufficient means to provide himself with comforts. The winters are se- vere, the thermometer often falling to 60 degrees below zero, the cold being intensi- we by the wind that rushes in from Bering e “T am on m 1O Way to Golovin Bay, where I own several good claims on Ophir and Melsing Creeks. Ophir promises especially well. Several days ago at the Dusty Dia- mond mine four men. working four hours. washed out $640 In gold. There are 38 claims above Discovery on this creek and four be- low. The Dusty Diamond company, com- posed of Chicago men, expect to » up at least a quarter of a million this year. Other go0d creeks are Melsing, Sweet Cake, Elkhorn, Gold Bottom and Dome. the country trfbutary to these creeks is well timbered.” ———————— BRINGING IN THE GOLD.

In the will of the late Mrs. Julia Kraut, filed for probate in Clayton Saturday, the provision is made that the executor “shall pay to my brother, Jacob Christman, $100 if he attends my funeral.” The deceased was the widow of the late Judge Frits Kraut of Pine Lawn, St. Louis County. The family was one of the best known in this part of the State, and at one time was possessed of considerable wealth. Mr. and Mrs. Kraut possessed much prop- erty at their death, which was left to their children. All Mrs. Kraut’s persona! prop- erty is bequeathed to her daughters, Louisa and Julia. In her will Mrs. Kraut re- uests that she be buried in St. Adams’ vemetery, and that if it is found impossi- ble to grant this request she asks that she be buried either in Calvary or St. Peter's Cemetery. The $100 which Mrs. Kraut left to her brother on conditiens it is claimed was for the purpose of defraying his traveling ex- —" as, it was stated in the will, he was JUMPED §=FROM A WINDOW —@e—_ — zeap of an Insane Man, Who Is Now at the Hospital With Both Legs Broken.

Campbell came’ to St. ville, Tenn., and has been tobacco stripper for the Company. His landlady, Mrs. L. A. Chapman, says he has been acting peculiarly recently and has told her several times that three men were hounding him. .She says that when she attempte to arouse him Saturday morning, she found his door barricaded. He declared to her. she says, that he was protecting himself from persons who want- ed to harm him. Later, he was found crawling on his hands and knees in the alley in the rear of the house. He told Mrs, Chapman that three men had broken into his room and tried to kill him. SHELLS AND ARMOR PLATE. Satisfactory Tests Made by the Board of Ordnance. WASHINGTON, July 29.~The report of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications of tests recently made at Sandy Hook has been made public by the War Department. One of the tests was the firing of an is- ham shell containing 113 pounds of ex- plapive gelatine from a 12-inch gun, with 415 pounds of powder, the e6hell weighing 1018 pounds loaded. No fuse was em loyed, as it was desired to test the ability of the loaded shell not only to endure with safety the shock of discharge, but also the shock of impact. The result was most sat- lafactory. The shells are now to be test- ed against armor plate. The board wit- nessed a oriae test of the 75 Maxim-Nor- denfelt quick-firing mountain gun, and say that in general excellence this gun is said to be superior to any other of ite hind now in the service. The board then inspected fragments of shells in which the high explosive thorite has been used as a bursting charge. The fragmentation was eatisfactory. The re- sults of the tests so far made with this ex- plosive are considered to be very satis- 11 haggle both for field and siege projec- tiles. The board at the same time tested the Sims-Dudley Bagge pneumatic guns of 5- inch and 2i4-inch projectiles, loaded with explosive gelatine bursting charges. Tne Merriam fuse, it is stated, has proved both eafe and reliable. HEAVY STORM AT ST. MICHAELS. Boats Torn From Their Moorings and Dashed on the Shore. ST. MICHABDL, July 18, per steamer Bt. Paul, San Francisco, July 29.—The most se- vere summer windstorm seen here in many years swept over the bay yesterday from early morning until nearly midnight. Boats anchored in the stream were torn from their fastenings and either ewept ashore and dashed to pieces or sent flying sea- ward. Fortunately no lives were lost, as the majority of the vessels wrecked were small steamers, bullt in 1897, for the Yukon rush, and which, since early epring, have been idle, anchored in the bay. Their owners, in many instances, have either gone to Cape Nome or Galovin Bay, giving up all hope of selling or leasing their vessels. The damage will amount. to many thousands of dollars.

G. Armstrong, a wealthy Mexico, Mo., real estate and loan man, has been resumed, after a_ serious break, and all is happiness in their home again. Brief as has been their marital ex- perence—they wedded May 2Z/—th ey have had a honeymoon, many quarrels, a eration, a suit for divorce and a recon- ciliation. Now that the little rift within * the lute is healed, they are living happily together again. Miss Leniton had sep- | known Armstrong for as » *. gome years before they were married. She was very pretty, though poor, while he had wealth, and they seemed very much in love, and everybody predicted a happy wnion. Armstrong built a pretty home on one of Mexico's finest streets, furnished it, and made all preparations for his_ bride. he went to him late in May and house- eeping started at once. But out from the dove cote stole rumors that all was not billing and cooing within— rumors of strife and bitterness and angry words. Few believed them at first, because there seemefi absolutely no cause for trouble. But the rumors continued, and on July 18 they were corroborated, when Mrs. Armstrong, through her attorney, G. Ww. Robertson. filed with the Circuit Clerk of Audrain County suit for divorce and ali- mony The petition for divorce was printed in full in the Mexico, Mo., papers, and contained startling charges against the de- fendant. Among other things it stated that Armstrong. in his proposal to the girl, had , misrepresented his wealth; had made prom- fses which he had not fulfilled; had, with the assistance.of his brother, fore-bDly eject- ed her from the home which he had prom- ised should be hers, beating and bruising her, and had, at the time the petition was made. deserted his home, leaving her desti- tute of anything to eat and without means or credit to obtain the necessaries of life. The case was docketed for the September term of the Circuit Court and was looked forward to by hundreds with increasing curiosity until Friday. Then Mrs, Arm- strong, without consulting her attorney, {withdrew her petition. She and her hus- ‘band are living together at their home as peacefully as though nothing of a disagree- able nature had ever happened. Mrs. ‘(Armstrong says her husband went to the home of Mrs. Mary Craig, their closest neighbor, and took oath before Mrs. Craig, who is a notary public, and in the presence of a witness, that he loved his wife, wanted to live with her and would sup- port and provide for her !f she would re- turn to him. Mrs. Armstrong consented to do this and now there is a perfect recon- ciliation. They both consider that their marital troul/es are at an end, BEYOND THE LAW'S REACH Woodling Who Was Shot by serial Officer Patrick Burke Dies 2 ae at the City Hospital. oe S:wWarrant, charging burglary and lar- Ww which was issued Friday afternoon Se inst George Woodling, colored, will nev- -" erbe served. He died early Saturday morn- ing at the City Hospital of the pistol wound in the abdomen inflicted by Special Of- ficer Patrick Burke, who was trying to ar- rest him. Woodling entered the home of George lein, at 104% North Fourteenth street, ednesday morning, and was helping him- self to valuables when Klein awoke and opened fire on him, The negro fled. but the shooting had attracted Officer Burke to the scene and he followed Woodling. Burke caught Woodling and was search- ing him when the negro seized the officer's revolver. Burke pulled the trigger and tke bullet entered Woodling’s body. Wounded as he was the negro disarmed Burke and shot at him four times at such short range that it was marvelous that he should have missed him. Woodling then fled. He was found at 1825 Lucas avenue and taken to the City (Hospital, where laparotomy was performed. The operation was successful, and it was thought W oodling would recover. But a relapse set in Friday night and in a few hours he was dead AN AIR BRAKE HOSE BURST ee Q memes Peculiar Freight Wreck at Howard’s, Caused by a Safety Device That Overworked Itself. A rear-end collision between two freight trains at Howard's Station at7 o'clock Fri- day evening was caused by the bursting of an air-brake hose. Two boxcars, a ca- boose and an engine were made into scrap fron and kindling wood, but some of the hardware in the cars will be recovered. The wrecked trains were really two sec- tions of one train, No. 18. The first sec- tion stopped when its air-brake hose burst, and the second, going D miles an hour, ran into it. The engineer and fireman of the second section, Pat O'Connor and George Nelson, jumped and escaped with e few ecratches. he wreckage caughty fire and the department was called on to put it out, The tracks were cleared by 11 o'clock. An @larm for an ambulance called one from the Health Department, but it was not needed. The wreck was absolutely unavoldable; the escape of the air set the brakes on the first section automatically, and the second Section was too close to be stopped before it @vertook the first one.

ALL BECAUSE OF A HAIR TONIC. The Mystery of 2 Bottle and a Ne’er Removed Helmet Solved by Judge Kinsey’s “Take Off Yer Hat!’ Rule. The bluest man in the Police Court Satur- day morning was Patrolman Mike Doyle of the Central Police District. Doyle's face is as indigo as the coat he wears. Doyle is one of the handsomest policemen who patrols Broadway in the downtown district. Saturday morning when he ap- peared at the Four Courte every policeman he met threw up his hands and inquired solicitously what was the meaning of the wonderful transformation. They knew, and it was all they could do to keep their faces straight when they talked to him. Doyle is getting well along in years, though he is as spry on his feet as he ever was, and his carriage ie as erect as any of the finest. His face is more intellectual than is the average policeman’s counten- ance, and an unusually handsome mus- tache adorns his upper lip. This mustache is well trained and is guiltless of a gray hair. With hie helmet on his head Doyle could easily pass for 3. But Doyle’s well-shaped head partially covered. The hair is turning gray and the bald spot on top is becoming more shiny every day. It wor- ries him not a little, and he began reading up on preparations that would restore gray hair to its natural color and he delved deep into the study of chemicals that would prevent hair from falling out and would make it grow on the barren places. After car@fully studying up on this sub- ject Doyle decided to give a certain tonic atrial. Much was claimed for this wonder- ful preparation. Not only would applica- tions of it restore the color and luster, but it would make the hair grow and flourish like a green bay tree. Policeman Doyle invested a portion of his stipend in this wonderful hair restora- tive. It came in a large bottle, and, as the directions said it must be applied every hour, he carried his bettle with him con- stantly. Hie brother policemen, who can scent a bottle from afar off, found out that Doyle carried one. ‘But oe didn’t guess the contents at first. Doyle is a model officer and in his many years of service he has never been disciplined for drinking. That’s why the other “‘coppers’’ didn’t ask him to share the contents of his bottle. But they kept an eye on Doyle and after night they would see him step into a dark spot and draw his bottle from the resting place, pour something into his hand and then rub his thead briskly. They spoke to ‘Doyle about it, but he would have little to say. Of late, Doyle has been more retiring than usual. is helmet never comes off gallantly as it once did when he was es- corting women over a crowded thorough- fare. The reason for this developed when it became necessary for Doyle to appear in the Police Court Saturday morning. As told in the Post-Dispatch a few days ago the most imperative rule in Judge kKin- sey’s court ts to ‘‘take off your hat!’’ Po- licemen, even, are not exempt from this regulation. When Doyle’s helmet came off there was wonderment from all his friends. His broad and noble forehead was as blue as if it had been painted. It one of those dark, lusterless blues that comes sometimes to a man when he has stopped a strong man's fist. But there was no. swelling there. When asked about it Doyle affected at first not to understand. Then he grew con- fidential and made admissions. The gray hairs had been colored, and he was not sure, but he thought the bald spor did not cover so large an area. But he did not reckon upon taking on the tint of the wild man from Borneo when began us- ing the preparation, and he admitted that already he had consulted with attorneys and contemplated bringing a suit to re- cover damages. He has little hope of re- covering the beautiful complexion that the hair-dye has ruined. Patrolman Doyle no longer carries his bottle of hair restorative, but if his fellows do not cease their jibes his friends fear he may be driven to carrying a bottle of another sort. WAR ON THE GUM CHEWERS Janitors in the Big Office Buildings Preparing to Wound the Feelings of the Fair Typewriters. is only rapidly There is much ill-feeling between the janitors of the big office buildings and the fair stenographers that swarm in them. And it’s all because the girls of the click- ing keys persist in chewing gum. Now, the average janitor is not «0 esthetic as to feel a chill of horror per- ambulate his spine when ‘the sees a blonde typewriter manipulate her jaws in perfect time with the movement of her fingers, clamping them down on the India rubber like consistency of some pepsin or mint flavored concoction. He doesn’t care a rap whether or not gum chewing is in accord with the canons and ethics of high, low or no society. That doesn’t concern him in the least. Nor does he object because the young women leave their gum fastened to the under side of chairs or machine desks or even the electrie Nght globes. Hie sweeps serenély along every night heed- less of the dust that accumulates on each favorite wad. But he does object when Miss Shorthand throws her passe bit of ¢hewing wax on the ttled or marble floor of the corridors. He is responsible for the polished, perfect condition of these floors and gum doesn't improve them in the least. “I wish the stenographers would learn,” said one custodian of a ekyecraper last week, “‘that gum is very destructive to the polish of marble or tile, and that it im- proves neither a floor nor a care-taker's temper when thrown about promiscuously. Men who chew tobacco throw it in the cuspidors when they are done with it, and if women will work their jaws on gum they should dispose of it in the same way. Inetead, too many of them quietly drop it in the rotunda or the corridor and leave it for me. ‘““Now, it wouldn’t be eo bad {f gum would sweep up as dirt does. But it won't. It sticks to the marble or tile and takes up the polish. Someone steps on it and Esvapes t over several yards, trving to rid his heels of it. On the mosaic floors it is worse than you can imagine; it gets in between the little blocks and it’s impossi- ble to get it out.

Thieves Entered Mrs. Jackson’s Store and After Killing the Dog Loaded Themselves With Booty. Burglars ransacked the dressmaking es- tabiishment of Mrs. Mary Jackson, at 2101 Market street, early Saturday morning. They were interrupted in their work by Mre. Jackson's little dog. The thieves gj- lenced the faithful brute by battering our its brains, and they proceeded with their work. Mrs. Jackson occupies all of 2101 Mar- ket street. The first floor is used exclusive- ly for dressmaking. The eecond floor is her residence. The burglars arrived about 38 o'clock. The rear door to the first floor was forced cpen. The watch dog was aroused and began barking furiously. The thieves must have caught the dog and choked it, for it only barked a few times hen they battered ite brains out with the handles of their revolvers. After dispatching the dog they remained quiet for a few minutes. Mrs. Jackson and her daughters concluded that the dog was barking at nothing and again retired They noticed the time, but did not go down. Stairs to investigate. Then the burglars proceeded to ransack the place at their leisure. Mrs. Jackson's purse containing $12 was in the money drawer. This was taken. There were sev- eral handsome dresses, finished, hanging on the wall. These were taken. A number of dress patterns that had not been touched were aiso taken, as weer two dozen corsets and a big lot of laces and trimmings. The thieves threw some of their plunder over the rear fence into the yard of 2102 Chestnut street, where Mattie Robinson, colored, lived. At 5 o’clock two white men entered Mattie Robinson’s yard and asked for permission to go to the rear and get some articles that had fallen there. She said she was suspicious and refused to five her consent and the men left. The negress went for a policeman, and a few of the stolen articles, of small value, were found in the yard. The goods were identi- fled by Mrs. Jackson. ‘Mattie Robinson pointed out Bennie Coyle as one of the men who wanted to go into her back yard and he was arrested by Policemen Slat- tery and O’Leary. He was drunk and pro- — that he knew nothing of the rob- ery. TO CLOSE BROLASKI’S ESTATE. His Wife Removed as Trustee as Her Interests Are Involved. Mary S. Brolask{-has been removed as trustee of the estate of her late husband, Howard Brolaski, for his m‘nor children. and Charles W. Holtcamp has been ap- pointed to succeed her. Mrs. Brolaski is step-mother to the chil- dren, and her interests, in the course of litigation over the division of the estate. became antagonistic to theirs. The suit for her removal was friendly, and she con- curred in it. Brolaski left a very complicated estate. His first wife, the mother of his minor children, died in 1887. His business was con- ducted in her name during her life, and it was generally understood that the money invested was really hers. He married Mary Brolaski in 1888. His death occurred in 1897, and his will directed that his wife take charge of all his property and administer The suit under which she was removed as trustee was necessary in order to deter- mine how much of the estate belonged to Brolaski and how much should go to the first Mrs. Brolaski’s heirs. Judge Fisher, in passing upon the rights of the parties to the suit, decided that Brolaski’s children should have that part of the estate which was shown clearly to belong to the first Mrs. Brolaski, and that the balance should go to the widow. “EFREE.”’ The Illustration and.General Narrator.
