"You see, there's been so much talk about the House being opposed to the mayor that we just thought it best for some of the representative members to tell the mayor we were friendly, and that he could count on us to help him.” The members of the committee reported satisfactory results, emphasizing the state- ment that they had said nothing about ap- pointments in any department. A small delegation of West End property owners desirous of having the bill for the Blackstone avenue sewer district passed promptly, were awaiting the delegation as they came out of the mayor's office. “Sure, we'll do all we can,” Mr. Burke declared. “Didn't we pass the charter amendments? We're in for public improve- ment from now on. “We just had a little friendly talk with previous case the negotiations looking to this end resulted in naught. In one case the Transit company refused an option the Suburban offered at an above par price per share for the entire stock. At another time the Suburban refused a below par price offered by the Transit company. Since the arrival in St. Louis, a week ago, of Messrs. Calhoun and Delano, the New York directors of the transit company, there has been unusual activity in transit company stock. Common jumped from 25 to 30 and pre- ferred from 8&1 to 86. The bonds that were selling at 89 also rose to 90. At these fig- ures there were sold in the open market last week 2581 shares of preferred and over 10,000 shares of common. Monday morning there were sold 920 #hares of preferred at 86 and 550 shares of common at 30, showing that the stocks are still strong at these ope Some brokers take this as the natural re- suit of the recent published statement of the Transit company @r the quartor end- ing October 1, which showed a profit of 2 per cent over all expenses. Other brokers, however, see in it indica- tions of the prospective absorption of the Suburban road by the transit company. There are rumors that a portion of the transit company’s floating debt, approxl- mating $4,000,000, has been recently paid. taken. Dr. Eliie was asked how long time was required for the development of tetanus in a horse. He replied that two or three weeks Was thé usual period. He also said that the infection was easily transmitted ffora one horse to others in the same stable. He said that no horses housed in the same stable with “Jim, the anti- toxin horse, had died of tetanus recently. Dr. Nietert gave particulars of the three cases in which death resulted at the Cit Hospital from the use of the antitoxin. All, he said, were undoubtedly cases of lock- jaw. He said that diphtheria antitoxin had been succensfully used in 200 cases at the hospital. Dr. Nietert was unable to say how long erms of tetanus might be latent in a orse without causing death. ty Coroner Frank Boogher said that the verdict would be postponed until the three experts who are making bacterioiogi- cal Neeses of the serum have made their re- port. “The evidence which we have received,” satd Dr. Boogher, “‘seems to strengthen.the theory that the germs of tetanus were long latent in the horse. “According to the testimony there seems to be little likelihood that the serum drawn Sept. 30, two days before the horse’s death. was distributed by mistake under labels of Ane. 2%. Dr. Ravold testified explicitly that all th serum drawn on Sept. 30 was dectroyed.”’ policemen caused pssatian of hostilities.

McCubben of the Eighteenth United States Infantry. There was enough of the unusual about the marriage to attract the romantically inclined. Miss Schnaus left 8t. Louis Mon- day on seven hours’ notice, traveled four days to reach her soldier lover, was mar- ried 35 minutes after her arrival in San Francisco, and sailed for the Philippines with her husband two hours later. But these circumstances do not appeal to the young bride and her parents so strong- ly as does the fact that her acqualintanée with Sergeant McCubben commenced in the sunny back yard on which Mr. Schnaus has looked out for 30 years from his cob- bler’s bench, and from whose associations four previous love matches have sprung. Since the time when his children were old enough to seek the company of other chil- dren, Mr. Schnaus’ yard has been tne ren- dezvous for the boys and girls of the neig- borhood. “it’s better for them to play there than in the street,"’ was Mr. Schnaus’ reply to the bantering of neighbors about his ‘‘kin- Engagement Ring.

He had taken part in a number of principal sneeonsente of the Philippine war, and had returned to the United dtates for need- ed rest.

These were left to circumstances and fate, and circum- stance and fate did their part. Since his return to army service, Sergt. McCu had been stationed at Alcatraz Island, near San Francisco. This location was only a temporary one, and he expected to be transferred later to some other post within the United States. The announce- ment of this transfer was to be the signal for his marriage.

LONDON, Nov. 4.—Fog of the pea-soup variety has enveloped London and other parts of England for 3% hours with a pall so dense that most pursuits have been dislocated and navigation at several ports is practically at a standstill. Trains and street traffic are in a state of hopeless con- fusion.. There have been a number of coi- listons and minor accidents.
