Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 24.—Upon re- ceipt of an urgent appeal from the au- thorities of Shreveport, where Charies Coleman, the negro, is on trial for the murder and assaylt of Miss Margaret d white girl, Gov.

The indications are Ker serious trouble, and for the first time the history of the State a Governor has gone to the scene of a crime to stay mob violence. A mob attacked a train of soldiers late last night near Shreveport. The militia, Company D of the Leesville guards, had been dispatched to Shreve- rt by Gov. Blanchard to reinforce the ree companies guarding the negro. The mob flagged tlie train at the junc- tion and made desperate efforts to side- track it. The soldiers subdued them, however, arresting several members of the mob, and the train proceeded. ‘ Coleman's trial begins today, and the authorities believed the presence of tlie vernor would go far toward allaying -@xcitement and toward managing the which will undoubtedly be formed. . There are four militia companies on the ¢ and a fifth is under arms. Before he left New Orleans last night Gov. Blanchard said: “I propose to act speedily, in a due and orderly course, on the transcript aa Setting forth the conviction of the ne- _ This does not mean, however, that the overnor will sign the death warrant of leiman on the spot.

When placed on the stand the child- wife told of extreme cruelty inflicted on her two months after her bridal night. The Judge turned and said: ‘‘Why, lit- tle one, how old were you when you were married?’ “Eleven vears of age, Your Honor,’’ came the reply. “Eleven years old? What is your age now ?”’ $ “T am 16." Without more ceremony Judge Cunning- ham granted a decree, as he said, on any or every ground of the Ohio law, and restored the child to her maiden name of Wagner. POLITE EXCHANGE OF INVITATION Governor Sends Statesmen to Penitentiary With Permis- sion to Depart. Iienry G. Rolfes, Dr. Heine Marks and Andrew Gazzolo, representing the joint committee of the Municipal Assembly of St. Louis, visited Gov. Folk in Jef- ferson City Saturday morning with a carefully worded invitation from the committee for the Governor to meet With the committee in St. Louis and discuss home rule. The Governor, it is understood, did not exactly decline in positive terms, but he responded with another very nicely worded invitation. The Governor instructed the three St. Louisans to ex- tend to the committee and any mem- bers of it an invitation to visit him. in Jefferson City. It was announced that the invitation would be conveyed to the committee. Then all had cigars, and the Governor extended another invitation for the three St. Louisans to dine with him at the Mansion, which was accepted The subcommittee then visited the

Van Veen, aged 18, the “little father,’’ who shot and killed himself in the rear of his home at 8723 Polk street. The family is without means, as the young man has been the only support of his six brothers and sisters since his father committed suicide in Kansas City two vears ago. Before leaving the house he affection- ately kissed his brothers and _ sisters goodby, telling them he was going to heaven. A few minutes later the shot was heard. Arnold was dead when members

; of the family reached him.

Christine, the oldest sister, who kept house for the family, had scolded Ar- nold for spending a small amount on himself. He earned $1.75 a day, and his sister resented what she _ considered waste of even a small sum. Arnold is the ninth of his family to take his life. His mother died last Oc- tober from an overdose of morphine. Seven other members of the _ family have killed themselves within the last 15 years. SPINSTER TAKE I STRAY CATS Finds Pleasure in Befriending Them Without Reference to Breed or Color. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BETHLEHEM, Pa., Feb. %3.—Some time ago Miss Amanda Schwartz, spin- ster, who lives alone in one of the hand- somest residences in South Bethlefem, befriended a homeless cat and _ so pleased was she with its companionship that she sought out others until now nearly four dozen felines have full sway in the Schwartz home. Miss Schwartz cares little for breed, color or beauty, but gathered in the stray, the tramp, the homeless and sickly wherever op- portunities afford and nurses the ill ones back to health and makes pets of them all. Seldom does a cat when gathered into the fold gare to leave. A visitor to the Schwartz home this week found in front of the kitchen range eight plump cats, each of a dif- ferent color and each one occupying a spotless brick. On top of a cupboard beside an old-fashioned clock with a battered face sat four more felines, On

A trading schooner which arrived here today reports that the volcano is in violent activity. By day a-column of heavy black smoke several miles high, arising from the crater, was visible to those aboard the schooner 30 away. ~ Before the crest of the volcano itself fell below the horizon the sailors aboara the vessel saw molten sand or lava pour- ing over the edges of the crater in over- whelming masses, rolling down over the plautations of the eastern slope of the mountain and presumably flowing over the twice-buried city of St. Pierre. MINERS. WEEP AS OLD MULE DIES “Maxey”? Expires of Injuries After Long Service Un- der Ground, Pa., Feb. miners, 27

SHPNANDOAH, 2o.—Sur- rounded by weeping ‘““Maxey,”’ a petted mule, who served years in the Reading company’s Shenandoah City Mine, died yesterday of injuries received in a fall of coal, The faithful beast had been caught un- der a heavy rush, and, though he was dug out as soon as the alarm was given, it was evident that he could not survive, as one leg was broken and he was badly hurt internally. In a spirit of mercy, the inside foreman directed that the mule be killed, and or- dered one man after another to do the work, only to meet with repeated re- fusals. So firmly had the beast grown in the affections that none had the heart to take their old friend's life.

It was found necessary to eliminate floats because they were neither taste- ful nor convenient. Tallyhos were found to be too often filled with noisy youths, whose conduct was not credit- able to themselves or the occasion they pretended to honor. Painted horses were an extreme of patriotism verging on the burlesque. Dogs and boys were alike uninvited and unmanageable units of the parade. Orders in Their Regalia. There will be no exception to the rule that only three carriages will be allowed to each parish. In these vehicles will ride those old men who are too feeble lo walk. The grand marshal, his assistant and aids, and the parish marshals will be mounted, and each will wear a uniform of silk hat, Prince Albert coat, tan leggings, spurs and a green sagh. The uniform rank of the Knights of Father Mathew and the Ancient Order of Hibernians will of course, march in the regalia of their orders. The Knights of Columbus and the Irish Nationalists will be attired uniformly in silk hats and Prince Albert coats. Each will wear a rosette, blending the Irish with the American colors. Other paeraders will appear in line only with such dec- orations as the Parade Union desig- nates, St. Patrick's parish, as that which bears the name of Ireland's great patron, will have the place of honor in the parade.

These groups comprehend instruction in all those branches legiti- mately belonging to the college course. The amount of work to be done is nearly the same as in four-year colleges, as, for instance, while Harvard calls for 61 hours to a course for half a year in college terms of four years, Clark calls for 50 hours in three years. “The large amount of time expended during a four years’ course in intercol- athletics was eliminated at Clark College.
