Lead is still an inde- |pendent quality, in spite of the smelter trust, which fixes the price of the product. | As the lead mines of the country are not widely scattered, those of the southeast Mis- souri district leading all others in extent and richness, a scheme to combine them of- fers peculiar charms to the trust-excited Speculator of the day. This view is strengthened by the belief that it would be practically impossible for the Union Lead’ and Oil Co. or anyone else to buy some of the lead mines of Southeast Missouri, which have been worked for years at a handsome profit and are owned by a-limited number of people. Of this class is the St. Joe Lead Co., which pays 6 per cent on a capital stock of $3,000,000; the Des Loge Lead Co., a close corporation, paying big monthly divi- dends; the Doe Run Lead Co., and a score of othess. The owners of these properties are not trying to sell them, but in case an esuita~- ble scheme of consolidation was sigzested, ‘it is possible they might be induced to ‘join. In that case the Union Lead and Ojl Co. and other operators in the tield would ‘come in for ashare of the profits derived from the consolidation. The establishment in East St. Louis of a /big smelter by the Federal Lead Co., owned by the Guggenheims, who recently, it is said, came to an understanding with 'the smelter trust, after fighting it for ‘years, adds still another element oc inter- -est to the lead situation.

LOSS MAY REACH $15;000,000 THERE ARE PROBABLY 10,000 PEOPLE WITHOUT HOMES. Graphic Stories of Scenes During the Fire Reveal the Depths of Desti- tution and Destruction Reached. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 4.—The hot May sun rose smoke enshrouded over the devastated city. The fire, which broke out yesterday at noon and aided in its work by a southwest gale, spent its force by 9 o'clock last night. The damage is enormous. One hundred and forty-eight blocks were swept by the flames, and as far as known seven persons lost their lives. A report is in circu- lation that a party of 20 persons, driven to the docks along the St. Johns river, were forced into the water, all attempts at rescue by boats being futile. The river is being searched. All the local companies of the State militia have been on duty since mid- night, and on order of Gov. Jennings the military companies from four cities are Many extra police have been sworn in and every able-bodied man not doing duty in some capacity in the fire-swept district is impressed into the service. The negroes are huddled in groups in dif- ferent parts of the city and the fear of an attempt at lawlessness by them, although not openly expresed by the whites, is the here. The fire companies from Savannah, Fer- nandina, Ocala and other cities worked the entire night on the fire, but a soaking rain flames.

The electric light circuits were in- terrupted and the gas plant destroyed, and last night the city was in darkness. A conservative estimate places the number of homeless people in the city at 10,000. Most of these spent the night in the parks, on the docks, on barges and some slept on what few belongings they managed to save from the general wreck. The Board of Trade and other commercial bodies held meetings at 10:30 to take action looking to the alleviation of the suffering. It is expected that an appeal to the peo- ple of the United States, calling for aid, will be issued some time during the day.

For about an hour the guests in the Windsor had been busily packing their trunks and the vans went away loaded with trunks and grips. THE STORY IN DETAIL.

The fire started between 12 and 1 Qq’clock in the American Fiber Co.’s works, corner of Davis and Union streets. It is sup- posed to have been caused by a bit of wire | which fell into the shredding machines. The fiber factory was a wooden shell, full of inflammable material, and in a few moments it was a mass of flames The wind, which was already blowing strong the southwest, seemed to be pos- with a sudden fury and soon wads all through the city, the fairest portion of which lay right Some delay was ief@ed- im.

The wholesale grocery store of F. & H. Dowling Co., the store of Muller & and dozens of smaller concerns were While the flames failed to cross the open Jones’ boatyard, a new danger threatened. The flames swept down the rear of the United States Hotel, and that, with the Law Exchange, was doomed. Meantime the county courthouse caught fire and another splendid edifice was soon a total wreck. From the United States Hotel the flames again jumped across the, street and the work of destruction continued, only to be checked when the last building near Mc- Coy and Hogan’s creek had been destroyed. Among the houses that had succumbed to the flames at 9 o'clock, on Bay street were the Gardner building; Furchgott's mammoth dry goods house, Benedict & Pollack’s wholesale dry goods store, the Christie Drug Co.'s building, Me- Allister’s wholesale liquor store, Cohen Bros.’ dry goods store, R.

The hotels destroyed include the Windscr, St. James, Placide, United States, GTrard. Glenada and Oxford. The situation is one approaching deso- lation in a large section of the city. The burned district reaches from Burbridge street on the north to the St. John’s river on the south, a distance of not quite two miles. The width of the desolated area is thirteen block. Within this space practi- cally everything is blackened ruins.

Mrs. Clifford : d that her husband had been in the habit of staying out late at night. She is raph in his petition with the same thing and furiherimore with having come home intoxicated. Clifford names three co-respondents. Mrs. Clifford alleged non-support and said that on Dec. 18 her husband deserted her, carrying away all her clothing. Clifford in his petition contends that she was extrava- gant and that March &, 1901, she left him, carrying his clothing and personal effects. Many Charges Made by Clifford. Clifford's petition ‘fully relates his version of the mysterious shooting which occurred in their apartments at 3021 Washington av- enue, March 19. Clifford says his wife pointed the pistol at him and snapped it three times before he could’ reach her. In the subsequent struggle he says“the gun was .discharged, injuring her in the face. In Sept., 1900, he declares she drew a re- W445) volver and pointed it at him in their apart- , | ™m ts alt non ambulance to his on 7 917 North Leonard avenue. He says he disarmed her. In October he says she came to his place 3223 Olive street and in the presence of several parties threatened to shoot him. The petition further recites that Mrs. Clifford was extravagant and ‘bought cfothing and jewelry more expensive than consistent with her station in Hfe.”’ Further allegations are that Mrs. Clifford is insanely jealous, that she is fond of draw poker and wine, that she has pawned articles belonging to the plaintiff and that the allegations in her suit are without fuundation. The petition says that Mr. and Mrs. Clitrord were married in Chicago Feb. 8, 19”, and lived together until Dec. 20, 1990. Then they separated. March 1.

ra “BACCHUS RULED AT STATE HOUS A Riotous Scenes at Close of Illinois Legislature. BARS WERE FORCIBLY CLOSED Becretary of State Rose Became In- dignant and Stopped the Orgy in the Name of Decency. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, lil., May 4—Scenes that were extremely riotous characterized the dying hours of the forty-second general assembly of Illinols. Unruly actions us- wally attend the closing hours of the gen- eral assembly, but last night's efforts eclipsed all former attempts at rough- ness. The Illinois capitol building has prob- ably never before been disgraced in a sim- flar manner. Two rooms on the third floor of the building. one adjoining the Senate chamber, the other adjoining the House, were turned into improvised bars, and in these the scenes that were a disgrace to the fair name of the state and its capitol Dullding were enacted. At 11:30 o'clock t became the painful duty of James A. ose, secretary of state, who is custodian of the building, to peremptorily drive every person frum the rooms, irrespective of their political importance and status. The secretary performed his painful duty in @ manner that left no doubt as to his firmness. “This affair can $4 no further,’ shouted Secretary Rose as he pushed by the guard on the door, and attempted to make his voice heard above the roar and the noise. “I am the custodian of this building,’’ he continued, “and I demand that this thing be stopped.”’ Remonstrances were in vain. The secre- tary was obdurate to the maudlin appeals of the guests present and insisted that the rooms cleared at once. As the crest- fallen guests departed, the waiters and bartenders began to pack up their refresh- ments. “Get out,’ yelled the secretary, and the hired attendants departed. Cigars and liquor was left scattered in all direc- tions and were not gathered up until a late hour this morning. While Mr. Rose was making a trip to an- other room, a key was obtained from a committee clerk, and one of the bars was opened again. This was closed a second time. and then Mr. Rose placed two guards in front of each of the doors and these were given specific orders to alow no one to enter. State senators and representa: tives visited Mr. Rose and told him that the affair was entirely harmiess, but their maudlin appeals were without effect. The secretary was obdurate and had enough po- licemen in the building to make his orders effective. When the doorkeepers refused to admit @ party of senators a great row was started, and it lasted for half an hour. The mana- gers of the spread had brought four city police officers to preserve order, and the senators became engaged with them. To re- store a semblance of order it was necessary for the managers of the spread to send the policemen away from the building. The spread was arranged by citizens of Springfield, who wished to show their ap- preciation to the members for the passage of the armory bi!l. This apvropriatcs $15*,- Oo to build an armory at Springfie!d, one floor of which is to be used for a convention hall. Many of the best citizens of Spring- field, who helped to secure the passage of the bill were present, and were taking part fn the function, when Secretary ose swooped down upon the gathering. The attention of Mr. Mose was first called to the matter by Acting Speaker Trautman of East St. Louis. The carousal became so noisy that the proceedings in the House were being interrupted, and it was imposs!- le to transact business. Many members ad made freeuent trips from their seats in the House to the refreshment stands. Others had one to the bars and fajled to return. Intoxication was general among the imbibing members of the Legis‘ature. and as there was yet much important work to be done, the acting speaker recognized the fact that the bars must be closed, and Bought the aid of the secretary of state. who was found in his office on the second floor. The promoters of the banquet this morning recognize that it was an ill-advisea affair. and are wishing that it had not tak- en place. Speaker Lawrence Y.

Favorites had an off day at the Fair Grounds Friday. In the six events not.a first cholce won. One 9 to 10 shot and two even money propositions were among the numbcr bowled over. Johnnie Hoffman, three of whose horses passed under the wire first, was responsi- ble for the downfall of two hot choices by long shots. Helen Print, in the first, put it over an- other of Schreiber's Sain colts, Schwalbe, who was pounded from 6 to 6 to 9 to 19 at post time. Print started at 10 and went to the post at 7. Lomuel, at 3 to 2, was the ring favorite in the third, but the grand surprise of the day developed when Trio, who closed ond choice. second choices took the money from the bookmakers favorites. In the second event, Forte and Chopin took the wind out of Celtic Bard's salls, though the latter was quoted at even money at port time. Barbee in the last event was a good thing. The animal opened at 8s, with Hurry at even money. he wise public, which has been consistently getting its hands on the reluctant lucre of the bookmakers, took to Barbee and paid for all the tickets ihe bookies could_write on him at any price down to 6 to 2, sending him to the post at nearly 2 to 1. The betting ring has had none the best of the argument since the opening of the meeting at the Fair Grounds, notwith- standing the sad fate of most of the first choices. That contingent which bets on the horse with the shortest price has not begun to attend the races In large numbers, and the speculative element now engaged in the endeavor to wrest the cash boxes of the bookies from them is made up largely of men supposed to be in the “know.

Now that the state has provided for the equipment of a Dairy and Livestock Building and a chair of dairy husbandry at the College of Agriculture, we shall doubtless see more in- terest taken in intensive and scientific farming in Missouri. It has been customary in some quarters to ridicule the scien- tific farmer, but facts have proven that exact attention to de- tails and living up to the latest discoveries in agriculture are paying. A pound of butter made according to the best mod- ern methods will average 23 cents in the market, against 11 |eents for stuff made on the rule of thumb methods once in .common use. Every gain in knowledge of how to raise cattle, dairy produce and crops and market them with “gumption” is an gddition of wealth to the producers and to the state. -— —_ i ———————_ — PHILOSOPHERS | “ALL'S RIGHT WITH THE WORLD." yeaa LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
