A little, black-bearded man was walking briskly up Broadway, yesterday afternoon, says the New York Times in one of its sketches of happenings On the street, when a shivering tramp, who had been loitéring in front of Trinity Church, stepped in front of him and said something ina low tone. The littie man made no reply, but stepped to one side and’ continued his journey up town. The beggar slouched after him and. saidin a louder tone than before, ‘Please, Cap, gi’ me a few cents for a bow! of soup.’”’ Even to this appeal the lit- tle Man paid no attention, and would doubtless have succeeded in escaping from the importunate tramp had he not been stopped bya friend who en- gaged him in conversation, The beggar crowded up as closély as possible to the two men and be- gan a pitiful tale of distress. He was heard to say, “* everything I possessed went in Wall street. Jay Gouldand those fellows got it.” The le black-bearded man’s hand went — down in his pocket and brought out a coin, whic was placed on the dirty palm of the mendicant, with the words, “There, now; go away, please.’’ The fellow shuftied away, evidently wiihout knowing thatthe little man who gave him the money Was Jay Gould himseli. The other gen- tleman was Cyrus W. Field. FOUND IN A HAY-STACK. - " Arkansas Negro Robber Makes His Es- cape and Is Recaptured. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Sorg, Ark., January 18.—Richard Goodwin, charged with robbing the store of A. L. Johnson, had a preliminary hearing yesterday, and in de- fault of a $500 pond was committed to the county jail at Washington. While be was being con- veyed thither he knocked down the officer who had him in custody and escaped. Search was at once instituted, and this morning he was recapt- ured about four milesfrom town, wuere he had taken refage ina hay.stack. He now acknowl- edges the Johnson store robbery and several other like offenses. He also implicates a negro named Richardson, whom he says aided him in robbing T. A. Valentine's safe of $700 some time ago. The report concerning the lynching of Lhe two negroes is incorrect. THE PRICE OF GLASSWARE. Itis to be Advanced Ten Per Cent—Freezing Out Strikers. New YORK, January 18.—The National Win- dow Glass Manufacturers’ Association and the National Bottle and Vial Manufacturers’ Assucia- tions have resolved to advance the price of glass- ware generaliy 10 percent The Western manufac- turers agreed to continued receiving orders from customers and send them East, where the goods will be manufactured aad then turned over to the Western men for delivery. Goods will be manu- factured for the Western men at the same cost as in their own factories, if the Western factories would remain closed until the men agreed to re- sume Work. Murder ata Spelling School. HILLSBORO, January 18.—A young man named Steve Sturgeon was shot and gilied Wednesday night by Walter Walcher. Both voung men had attended a spelling schoolin the Lester school- house, Rountree Township, and Sturgeon had had a quarrel with Walcher’s younger brother, which Walcher took up and prosecuted. Stur- geou struck him and a minute later fell dead with a puiletin his brain. Walcher,claims that the shooting was accidental, but the general belief is that be cominitted the murder deliberately, first inciting his younger brother into a quarrel with Sturgeon, in order to satisfy his feeiing for re- venge, Sturgeon having been favored by a young lady whom Waleher professed to love. The whole county is shocked. Stricken with Paralysis. BosTON, January 18.—Rev. W. J. Cromblehelme of Ashton-Under-Tyne, while collecting funas for the payment of the debt of his Catholic Church in England, was stricken with paralysis on a train, | taken to a hotel where he died, A Brewery on Fire. At 2:40 a. m. to-day, a small fire at the Liberty Brewery, corner of Twentieth and Dodier streets, damaged the building to the extent of $150. An alarm was turned on from box 289, but the flames were easily extinguished. EAST ST. LOUIS. William Hollana fell onthe pavement on Dyke avenue tris morning and sprained his ankle.

Riding on the “Squeeze-’em-up” Cars To-Day. a —_— Sleet and Rain—Discomforts of the Early Morning Street Car Travel Illustrated— Smokers—Room for One More. The very general attention called by the Post- DISPATCH Inu its series of articles upon the abuse of the public by the street car companies, ungues- tionably had a good effect, and the corporations have, with a few exceptions, made improvements and changes that are appreciated by their pa- trons. This is true, principally, offthe Missouri, Lindell and Citizens’ lines. It is by no means true of the Fifth Street, the Union Depot and sev- eral other lines, The rain and sieet of this morn- ing, and the dangerous condition of the streets, had the effect of testing the ca- pacity of the cars on all the lines. On such lines as are making an _ effort to reformall extra cars in the sheds were ordered out, but, notwithstanding that fact, the average car presented much the appearance of the Fifth streetcar sketched by our artist, as it passed the Court House at 7:30 this morning. The need of a general introduction of the patent jack- screw process of the SQUEEZE ’EM UP LINES, 80 graphically portrayed in the Post-DISPATCH some weeks ago,was {elt by every one.sThe public bas made upitsmind that aetual .comfort will never be sccured untii some city officials are elected who will enforce existing laws.and a Municipal Assembly which ts.not afraid of offend- ing the street railway magnates, by exercising the power which the courts decide they possess, to limiting the carry- ing capacity of each car. Post-DISPATCH re- porter came from the West End on the “gravel train” ofthe Market street line, and not only en- joyed the society of thirty-seven horny handed sons of toil, but was given thirty-seven opportu- nities to study how much worse smelling one kind of tobacco could be than another. An analytical chemist, who was a fellow sufferer, declared that he could recognize in the atmosphere of the car nine distinct noxious gases, continued exposure to any one of which would produce serious illness if not a torturesome death. The women, as usual, insisted npon crowding into the smok- ing car, although the point is “made to run another car within one minute of the smoker, After haugbtlly accepting the seat of the man with the tin pail, who is going to a hard day’s labor, she, as arule, occupied the remainder of the trip by casting indignant glances at the puffers of cigars and pipes. AS USUAL, no cars seemed to be filled in the minds of the conductors. There was always room for oae more. Frequently inquiries were heard as to what had become of Delegate Sullivan’s bill .lim- iting each car to the carriage of seven passengers in excess of the actual seating capacity. For their information it may be said that the bill is soundly sleepin in the breast pocket of Mr. Sullivan, who seems to have no immediate intention of reporting uponit. Sey- eral railroaa men insisted that the crowded con- dition of the cars on a day lke this was not a fair test, as —— rode this morning, that generally walk. it was saidinreply that the day was sim- ply another argument for “trippers” and extra cars to be brought out in just such an emergency. The usual statements were made of new cars in process of construction, but then these same cags were almost ready to be put into service last No- vember, when the PosTt-DISPATCH man com- plained about their cars. The road beds were in a terrible eondition this morning, and pulling an ordinary load would have been a matter of extreme difi- culty, yet there wereno extra horses noted in service, The Humane Society might have found plenty of work for their agen:s to do in this line alone. In Cincinnati the Socicty for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals pays particular atten- tion to street car horses, and the railroad compa- nies are promptly prosecuted, even for neglecting to have their horses’ shoes properly sharpened during slippery weather. The use of salt on the tracks is also prohibitedin that city on paia of prosecution. The St. Louis body seems to be rather an ornamental, or at least theoretic : stitution. There is little prospect of the w clearing up to-day, and the streets any rate are in such a terrible condition that*the scenes of the morning will be repeated from 5 t07 p.m. Andsowillit be ever until the city au» thorities take hold of this matter firmly, and_ by proper legislation put an end to this abuse. The eondition of affairs every morning and evening is giving quite an impetus to the bills for new street railroads pending before the Municipal Assembly, Despairing of getting better accommodations from the existing lines, the public takes the lesser of two evils aud clamors for more lines. It is strange that, neon fact nes italists be- CRIMINAL PRECOCITY. A Ten-Year-Old Boy a Thief and Profes- sional Burglar. “That boy is not much over 10 years old and he’s been a professional burglar for four years,” said Justice Patterson yesterday, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, to Charity Commissioner Porter, as he pointed to a small lad with a bright, intelligent face, who stood at the bar, charged with burglary. ‘‘He’s an incorrigible thief, and he has been ‘arrested four times for burglary.” This scene ina New York Police Court was the prelude toa story that is almost unparalleled in the history of youthful crimes and criminals. As de- yeloped in the court it is as follows, _ “The boy’s riman, and he lives at No. 412 name is George Har street h ae ie ETRE stare 5 > A i“ CMP Lar a door, and then he let in bis confederate.

When the policeman entered the house he was sure prised to see Harriman in the main hall in the rasp of two young women.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, L.O., January 18.—The prospects of the passage of a bili appropriating a large sum from the surplus revenue of the country to edu- cational purposes do not seem to be as good as they were some montis ago. The Committee on Education bas just had its first meeting, and its preliminary work bas not been especially favora- ble to the project. The more unfavorable feature, however, is in the attiiude of the chairman of the committee toward the proposition itself. **] do not believe much in the project,’ he said to your correspondent laie yesterday as he stood in the corridor at the House and chatted about the billand its prospects. He is himself a college graduate, atarmer by occupation, buta strong Southern man in his views and prejudices. “My idea of educational matters,” he sald, “is that people who will appreciate or wake yaluable use of education are those who will get it by their own efforts. I favor education, of course, for those who will accept it, but I have serious douDia, about this proposition for the general distribu- tion of the surpius for this purpose, at least on the plan proposed in most of these Dills. I vell you the people of this country do not appreciate education or those whose business it is to impart it. Look at the miserable salaries they PAY THEIR TEACHERS. Why the average male teacher only gets $37 per month for six months of the year, and the female teacher $26 per month for the same time,” “You do vot think the bill in its usually pre- sented fourm of a distribution of funds according to illiteracy, is the proper thing, then, Mr. Alken?” “No. I am not satisfied with it, and what Is more, l am very sure that it will not pass.’, “Why not, Mr. Aiken; the general seutimeut of the House has been understood to be quite favor- able to it, bas it nut?” “{ don’t think Congress will pass any measure that is going to send money into wwe South,” he answere ; I ene CHICAGO, January 18.—The Journal’s Kanka- Johu Waiseou, A FRIENDLY BOOST.

Before the reat- ing the ladies were requested to leave the court room, and young Nutt was led out, it being evi- agent that he could not stand itto hearthe docu- ment read, The letters,which were the same that were produced at Dukes’ trial, were listened to with breathtess silence, and created a profound sensation. ‘ALL BEARS. _ The Excitement on ’Change Over Corn and Wheat. _ — ——— St. Louis Operators on the Right Side and Mak ng Money—Few Bul's in the “Pit”— How the Operators Stand. Last year was arather disastrous one for St. Louis operators on ’Change. “The boys dropped their ‘bundles’ on all sides,” said the junior mem- ber of a large commission heuse, “vut they are getting it back now. The lower she sails dowu the betier it will be for us.”’ During the heavy advance in corn last winter | When January reached 6344 cents and May 64% cents in Chicago,a large uumber of St. Louis operators had boucht lrere aud sold in Cijicare ou a spread. The call for margins from Cuicago came lo frequentiy and heavily, and over a half miliion ol dollars were seut up wo the Garden Cty to protect deais. Nearly ail St. Louls shorts stood by their deals, however, aud when the receut decliue came they pitebed ip with renewed vim iid vigor aud began the hammering process. Muay coru fell 6 @ nts and May wucat dro; ped from $113 to $1 055%. It seemed as though all St. Louis was short. The only buyers were those who had already so®@ ai higher fi.ures, and were clusing tueir deals to realize their profits. If there are any buils on ‘Change tu-day they are pot backing up their opinicnas Lo any Bieat extent. An oceasivnal five or ten thousand is taken up by a chrvnic bull on a _ =°scalp, but is not carriedany length of time. A Canvass among the more promivent dealers reveals their position at present to be aboutas fu.lows: Moses Fraley is a pronounced vear. He has been sell- ing for the past three movtiis and selling heavily. Atone time the clouds were pretiy heavy and dark over him, but vow it is ail sun-bine, and he is seliing it as fast as he can find a purciuaser, in slugs of 100,000 at a time. F.G. Bowman, his partner, is also a bear, and his stentoriau tones send terror into the beartis of the timid bulls. Tue firm is reported to have wade a large amount ol money by the recent decline. Dave Fraucis is a beur on corn but inclined to be a bulion wheat. He thinks the quality of our winter wheat so superior to that’ol other markets that it is bound (to Uriug a relatively higher price. Luele Dan Hodgkins walks quietly around the pit with bowed heud and suys the price of wheat must ZO up. The shortage last year was principaily in winter wheat, aud while Chicago may nbammer her down, our market will vet see both in is, is and corn, that in opinion only.

Oswald Graves sells corp smilingly, but sits perched on the lence with a puckered biow when the question of Wheat is broached.

An Early Visiter. About 5 o’clock this morning the family of Mr. Michael McEnnis, who occupy a residence at N o. y326 Carr street, were aroused by the violent ringing of the door-bell. The door was opened by Mrs. Dee, a domestic, and her son Eugeve Dee, 18 years old, who at times is demented, rusted into tne house, ran up stairs and looked into the skeeping apartwnent of Mr. McEnnis. The laiter was up and dressed and was naturally astupished by the abrupt conduct of his Vishor.

Some Political Fragments Full of Popular Interest, Pate’s Night Conference Outside the Jail— Howa Commissionership was Rejected— Recollections of F. B. Homes. . “You newspaper men did pretty wel! on the last Grand Jury, I’li admit,” saida man-avout-town this morning, *“‘but there was one fact, and a juicy one, which you failed to capture.” “What was that?” “Why, the final discovery that the jury made concerning that Pate matter. I watehed tne papers on that,and I was amused to see that though they kept posted on all the fallures that the jury made iu its search, yet when the jury flually got the botiom facts about Pate going out of jail, not a word appeared in print about it. They printed first the report that Pate was taken outone night just before bis pardon to meet a Stute official. Thenthey published that the jail guard Pauss, or some such name, who was rec- ported Lo have accompanied Pate, refused to ack- nowledge it. Then they published that Jerry Ry- un, the ex-jaiior, when summoned before the Grand Jury, denied most emphatically that Pate had ever been ailowed ,to go outside “the jail at night with his (Ryan’s) knowledge or consent, to meet anybody, or for any other purpose. Then they published that avother guard, named Barwey Ruhe, had beeu fund who-+scorted Pate to the outside of the Jail, ana gave him in charge of a woman. who afterwards brought lim’ Dick and delivered him to the other guard, Pauss. There the story stopped. Now, ali of those publications were subsiantialiy correct, but there was more to come, A day or two after Ruhe was examined by the (7rand Jury a Deputy Sheriff waited on Jove McEntire, the State Coal Oil Inspector, and informed him that he was wanted by the grand inquest. He went before them, and the question Was put to him, point blank, a#to whether be had not met Mr. Pate at pight outside the jail during the period of the latter's incarceration. Mr. McEntire probably thought the jury kuew the whole story, aud he responded in the affirmative. He stated that a short time pbeture Pate was pardoned, a messenger friend informed him that Pate wanted to meet him and havea talk with him. Whaut reason he assigned, if any, why he did not go to the jail as other people did, and see Pate, [ don’t Know. Buthe stated that it was arranged that Pate shvuld be brought out at night to Jailer Ryan’s house, where be would meet him and have altaik. At the appointed time Mr. McKutire went to the Jailer’s house, and after he was admitted to the parior or din- ing-room,\ I don’t know which, Pate was brought in trom the jail through the back-way by Mrs. Ryan’ Pate explained that be thought Mr. McEntire couta do him more good in his effufts to get a pardon, and he wanted liim to go aud see the Governor in bis behalf. After they had dis- cussed the matter for sumetime Mr. McEntire avreed to do as requested, and Pate was taken back to the by jail Mis.Ryau.Mr.McEntire testifiea fui thermore that the luterview was not marked by auy movey transaction. This is all straight, and yuu can rely upon it.” Suusequent luvestigations by the reporter con- firmed the above statemeut fully, and the ques t:00 then arose as to how ex-Jailer Ryan stood in the matter. Judge Ryan, on ye questioned, suid that he had testified that Pate did not, to his Knowledge, go outside the jiil walis during his iimprisoument. This, he held, was literally true, for, strictly speaking, the juiler’s residence is Virtually a part of the jail invlos- ure, As to the meeting between McEnutire and Pate, Judge Ryan said that be did not wit ness iL; Was abseut from home at the time, and consequently, bad no absolute or personal Kuowl- edge of it, consequently couid not tesiify to it, He gave his guards instructions that Mr. Pate was to have the liberty of the Jail premises, and if they took him outoft the Jail proper and inte the Jailer’s residence, that Was not golug beyoud the limit of their authority. During all this time Mr. Pate held in his pocket tbe resignation of Dan. Kerwin, the vice presi- dent of tue beard, and this brings to mind the stucement in Mr. Kerwin’s grand jury testimony, hitherto unpublished, that being summoned to Mr. McEutire’s office one day he met Mr. MeEn- tire and Mr. Pate, and had an interview with ibem, wherein Mr. McEntire upon bin = iia Mr. Pate’s Lue necessity for supporting : Albert L. Stiles for Chief of Detectives. This calls to mind, moreover, another fact wuich has not hitherto Deen pubiished—that a day, or two or three days aiter the Cuppies board resigned Mr F. B. Homes received an invitation to cail at the office of Mr. Meintire. Ou going there, he found Mr. McEatire, Mr. Butler and Mr. Kerwin awaiting bim, Mr. McEutire explained, after greetings, that he desired Mr. Homes to become a member of “our Police Board.” Mr. Homes in- quired before giving an auswer, who would be tue vice president of the new Buard. He was in- formed that Mr. Kerwin was to hold that office, and he forthwith declined to aceepi the respousi- bility and odium of a Police Coinmissioner. SUCH WAS THE REPORT which came to the ears Of & POST-DISPATCH reé- porter this morning, aud he called upoh Mr. Homes for verification. “Yuu have it ail correct,” said that gentleman, on hearing the story, “except that part as to why I declined to accept.

I Was, and am, a warm frieud of the Governor, and 1 suppose I did as much as any man in Missouri to secure hima the nomination, although Lam not a politician. I therefore thought that Mr. MeEna- tire’s offer came direct from the Governor, as an expression of his friendship for me. Weil, when Mr. MckEutire made the offer, I, as a matter of curiosity , asked who was to be vice-president 1 was told that Mr. Kerwin was the man,’’ Rel Mr. Kerwin a commissiouer at that time?’’ “I think not, although as to that I am not yore So Jar as ti.at was concerned, however, had hv Objections to serving with Mr. Ke:win, bul, On the coutrary, 1 would have been periecthy Wililug to see Lim Vice-President if I intendea to serve in the Board.

Well, after Mr, bicKutire ana I had taiked awuaile, I told him tiat I did not desire that office or any other, a8 my time was all occupied, aud I could not attend to public duties. That WuS all there Was in it, and the very next morn- ing the hews came that the Governor had ap- puluted F. X. mceCube to the position.” “Was there anything said about the policy of the Board, or anything of that kind?’ “No, nuthing. Itwas a friendly talk, and I think Mr. Butler leit before Mr. McEutire and I liad fluished talking.” THE SELLEW FUNERAL. Obsequies To-Day Worthy of the Lately De- ceased Philanthropist.

Waen Joun G. THOMPSON Is seen vague- ly wandering along the outskirts of Ohio politics and is asked if he is not lost he strikes his manly breast with the dignity of an Indian chief and responds: “‘Wigwaim lost; THomPsown here.” WE regret to learn that JouNGEE THOMP- son of Ohio is still unreconstructea and is reading all Democrats out of the party who do not agree with him. JoHNGEE is firmly ky convinced that the Democratic party abandoned principle when it failed to pro- vide for him. ————— ee . THE joint resuiutivu of Congress on the great American hog question amounts to say- ing that as long as foreign countries do not discriminate against us th@y may send us adulterated food; when they discriminate against us unjustly Congress will interfere to protect the public heaith. — — Sopuige Croizette, of the Comedie Fran- caise, Paris, has caught in her leap-year matrimoniai net an American banker named STEEN. ‘The recent successes of foreign act- resses on the American stage should com- mend them to our bankers as better invest- ments than Colorado mines or railroad stocks. THERE should be nu complaint of monoto- ay to 1110 lu “a clLry Which can ring out seven fire alarms ina night. St. Louis wants alaw like the one in furce in Paris. There the person in charge of premises in whicha fire originates is punished with fine and impris- onment, if the fire is due to his culpable neglect. In publishing the circular of the Finance Committee of the Convention movement, the Globe-Democrat says the guarantee fund to be subscribed is $2,000. This is an error, probably of typography. The amount is $20,000, and there should be no difficulty in raising it before the next meeting of the Committee. A VERY intelligent dog belonging to Joun RoBINSON’S circus and valued at $2,000 was wiled away from his bed under the leopard’s den the other night, and traded toa Cincin- nati saloon keeper for a drink of whisky. In skirmishing for drinks or offices the Ohio nan is generally found somewhere near the x" of the procession. : Sr. Lovis has secured the convention of live-stock men. This is well, but it would be better if St. Louis could secure a better rep- resentation of the live stock itself. Neither the live stock interests of St. Louls, nor the Freight Bureau, nor the railroad interests, secm to care about the matter, while the live » stock trade is slowly but surely leaving the city. ) : ——_——————— Curer HAREIGAN will have his hands full in making the whole police force understand that they must keep their eyes open. It ap- pears thatit is still possible for a respecia- ble citizen to be run in as a tramp while his description is fresh onthe record at head- arters. In the case of Dora USNER it ulred two days to discover that a girl aed DoRA was wanted. ———— ——» THERE isa littie cloud several times larger than a man’s hand arising on the English horizon. Did Mr. Hewitt apologize to Min- ister West for the O’)DoNNELL business? Did Minister West have the impertinence to demand that CONDON should not be per- mitted to work as a department clerk? We trust the administration will let the people know just what is going on. Our fellow-citizens of the East madea very ugly sectional record when they mus- tered, irrespective of party, 117 votes for Huscock’s motion on the Mississippi River appropriation bili. A motion to confine all the expenditures to the Lake Point and Plum Point reaches was practically a motion to throw away allthe improvements made at other points in former years at immense cost. It was not only a blow at further im- provement of the Mississippi, but an effort to undo what has aiready been done. The men who thus showed their hostility to the improvement of our great national water- way would have voted without a blush for the expenditure of ten times as much. to im- prove Eastern channels or harbors that are by a majority of 4, some of them sur- rendered and voted for the bill without the amendment. The fival vote of 215 to 64 should teach the narrow sectional opposition that the demand for Mississippi improve- ment is national, thatit has come to stay, and that they can no more suppress it than they can dam up ordry up the mighty tor- rent itself. THE END OF COMPETITION, In his very remarkable interview published in our yesterday’s edition Mr. JAY GoULD throwsa vivid light on the railroad situa- tion, when he says that the recent railroad collapses will teach their victims the folly of attempting to build competing lines. There is more truth than poetry in his re- mark. The men who have attempted in different parts of the country to build up a competition against the existing monopolies have been caught in an ebb current of de- pression, and it depends entirely on their other resources and pluck whether they will be able to hold out until the tide turns to floodand lifts them to success. But Mr. GouLp is probably right in saying that the costly lesson they have learned will serve as a warning to both them and others, and that it will be twenty-five years before any other outsiders will attempt tostarta new com- peting through line. This means that our railroad interests are toremain indefinitely in the hands of the present managers, and that they are to be managed on the present plan. It means that all idea of competition must be given up. The process of absorption and consoliad- tion will be continued until the smaller cor- porations cease to exist. The whole country will be parceled out among a dozen railroad bosses, each one with a board of directors and an army of officials to carry out his will. In this system of management the people will have nothing to say; their rights will not be disregarded, because they will haye no rights. The interests of sixty millions of people in their whole system of trans- portation, which involves the business pros- perity and life of the nation will be as much the private property of the magnates as their Fifth Avenue palaces or their castles on the Hudson. We thank Mr. Goutp for his frankness in stating that we have left the idea of com- petition behind. All that is wanted is to haveevents drift onto their logical con- clusion. It will not be until things have got to the worst that the people may conclude that they have something to say about this railroad question. —]| — eC THE TARIFF TROUBLE, We find Democrats branding as free trad- ers other Democrats who emphatically repu- diate all thought of free trade and who ask only for a reduction of taxes burdensome to many industries, beneficial to none, and serv- ing but to swell the revenue surplus. We also find Democrats branding as ex- ife..e proticcticnicta other Demucrats who freely admit that taxation should not exceed the wants of economical government, and that many wholesome changes and reduc- tions might be made in our present tariff. It is plain that they are thus doing each other great injustice, but this is all we can make out of the tariff fight amceng Democrats after watching its progress for months. ————$ ee taxes, but the jealousy of local interests makes them unwilling to trust each other with the arrangement of the details. They agree that there must and shall be incidental protection. but in determining how much and for what, each wants to boss the job himself, and so one falsely calls the other a free trader and in turn is as falsely called an opponent of tax reform and an upholder of monopoly exloftions., Still, the result must be, as it always has been, a tariff which is but a compromise be- tween local interests, each of which gets the best bargain it can, or the nearest attainable approximation to a profitable balance of high prices for what it has to sell against low prices for what it must buy. Provided her sugar is abundantly protected, Louisiana would like to dispense with all imposts on the articles she imports and consumes. The relation of every State or district to this tariff question is determined thus by some local ixcerest or combination of interests. The sincere doctrinaires who, either as free- traders or Protectionists, take high, broad views of the question unbiased by local in- terests, arefew and far between, and not wiser, perhaps, than the aggregate of those who are guided by lower and humelier con- siderations. All parties have recognized these truths and the consequent necessity of tolerating in their ranks a wide range of views on the details of tariff adjustment. While the Re- publican party has always leaned decidedly to protection as a good thing per se, irrespective of revenue, some of the most advanced of the free-trade doctrinaires are now and al- ways have been Republicans, with a large following inside the party, and the protec- tion Jeanings and platforms ot the party have not prevented it from having always a considerable element of free-traders and low-tariff men among its Congressmen. On the other hand, while the Democrats asa party have always held that protection should be incidental to the raising of a reye. nue, and must be carefully guarded with a view to the equalization of burdens, there never was a time when Congress did not contain a considerable body of Democrats who were for protection per se, so far as cer- tain local interests were concerned. To enforce uniformity of opinion as to tariff details in any party is utterly imprac- ticable, and no party hasever been insane enough to make the attempt, and wreck it- self by “reading out” a minority for tariff heresy. There are not more irreconcilable differences among Democrats now on this question than have always existed hereto. mere local conveniences. After being Dyaten | : “ . wd fore, nor than now exist among Republicans. é — % - oe. ee They agree that there must be a reduction of | | Indeed, there are no two. Democratic jour- nals so far apart as the New York Tribune and the Chicago Tribune, so rampant for free trade as the latter, or 60 rabid for pro- tection as the former. If such radical differ- ences do not scatwer. or: weaken the Republican forces in an election, minor dif- ferences as to details should certainly not be permitted to divide and defeat Democrats who are, in fact, much more closely united on a substantial basis of principle, If neither faction attempts to contrel or dictate to the other, and all, for the sake of the party, cultivate a fairer and more toler- ant tone of tariff discussion among Demo~ crats, all will be well. Hach district chouses its own representative and its views will be represented by him in the final settlemeat of the tariff question, whether heis a Demo- crat or a Republican, in spite of party plat- forms. Surely no true Democrat would have it otherwise, or break up the party ina vaio attempt to apply a caucus gag to the repre- sentative of any constituency. OE ES RE A RSE COMPLAINING that the New York WorLD has been lecturing such papers as the Cour- ier-Journal on their “rashness,” the latter journal heartily indorses the WORLD'S state- ment of the Democratic party’s tariff princi- ples and asks: What more has the Courier-Journal contended for than this? It is impossible to levy a tariff even for “revenue only,” without “incidental pro- tection,” We believe the Courier-Journal has ocea- sionally intimated a desire to rid the Demo- cratic party of Mr. RANDALL and his friends in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other States. This looks like contending for more than the pro- fessed principles of the Courier-Journal seem tocall for. It looks like asking too much, when Mr. RANDALL can quote the Courier-Journal’s own tariff platform and retort with the question: ‘“‘What more have we contended for than this?” What all Democrats havea right todemand is that brethren standing on the same tariff plat- form shall cease to tomahawk each other without provocationor reason. There never has been and never will be a tariff schedule entirely satisfactory to any one of them in all of its details. They will have to accept a compromise at last, and they had far better compromise with Democrats like Sam Ran- DALL than with rabid protectionist Repub- licans. , Tue Courier-Journal has habitually re- ferred to SAM RANDALL as a protectiunist from the head waters of Monopoly creek, and a large section of the Democratic party has been taught to regard the Courier-Journal asthe Fire Brand of Free Trade, with in- cendiary designs against all the mills, facto- ries and gvorkshops ia the country. Yet Sam RANDALL was delighted with the Ohio platform on the tariff question, and so was the Courier-Journal. Both praised it as at once a comprehensive and specific presen- tation of the principles which should guide. all legislation on the subject. Agreeing thus, why do they insist on misunderstand- ing, fearing and fighting each other as lead- ers of two irreconcileably hostile wings of the Democratic party? _ THERE is somethiug terribly impressive and suggestive in the dogged desperation with which the Russian Nihilists persist in their mission of death or embrace death themselves when detected. The mysterious murder of Col. SUDEIKIN, quickly followed by that of his nephew, has again taught all of the Czar’s highr officials that power is a poor protection to them, and Count ToLsro1, Minister of the Interior, has gladly seized upon a rebuke from the Ozar as an excuse for resigning his dangerous position. It is a struggle for life between the present Czar and the same secret power that murdered his father. Its vengeance continually over- shadows him and his officials. The hydra’s heads grow as fast as he cuts them off. The strain of sucha situation cannot be borne forever. THE recent death of a well-known and estima- ble lady of this city from pneumonia contracted in attending a funeral recalisin a most striking manner the cruelty and barbarity of our funeral customs. In all weathers, in extreme heat and cold, in rain and wind, people who expose them- selves under no other circumstances are expected to expose themselves at funerals, This should be stopped. It is worse than cruel. Socicty which calls itself civilized should hold its funeral and other ceremonies in churches or other inclosed places where valuable lives would not be endan- gered and sacrificed to mere idle forms. Given a cold day or a muddy day, and itis an absolute certainty that every ftunerai to Bellefontaine or Calvary Cemetery means death to some one of those who attend. enna Not a Party Question. From the Buffalo Express (Rep.) There is no grosser misrepresentation than that whieb is common of late in the Democratic free trade and the Republican protection journals— the representation, to-wit, that the Democratic party is all for revenue reform and the Repub- lican party all for the war tariff. Itisa misrepre- sentation, moreoyer, which deceives nobody, for there is nobody so ignorant as not to know that this question is one as to which both parties are seriously divided in opinion. What wil) finally resultfrom this division,no man can tell, but what will not result is more easily foretoia, The Democrats wil! not all be made revenue reform- ers, and the Republicans will not all be made ad- vocates of a war tariff in times of peace. Judicial Reform. From the New York World. . With all due deference to Sir Davia Duc Fieid, corporation lawyer, it ocours to us our Judges need pure hearts, upright mind: clean hands rather than wigs and gown’ Judiciary is in far more danger from * ous assaults of corporation lawyers a; porations that employ them than fr respect that may come to them throu; WE of citizens’ clothes.

Furnaces, mills-and facto try are either closing their doors or reducing wages to the starvation point. No one attempts to deny that the operation of existing laws is to gather the wealth of the coun- try, the earnings of the millions, into a few bands. You cannot manufacture mililonaires without de- frauding labor. There is no ,device known to mortal man whereby a few can be made suddenly rich by commerce, manufactures or stock specu- lations without robbing tie producers of wealth. A quarter of acentury ago a man who owned a million dollars, or its equvialent, was enormously rich. To-day the possessor of two millions is no& notably wealthy. In some of the ra twenty- five years ago, there were no citszens worth more than ahundred thousand dollars. To-day every city bas its list of millionaires. It is in accord- ance with. tmmutable laws that while the rich grow richer the poor grow poorer. The practical statesmen in Congress, seeing the poor cruelly and unjustly taxed to raise money that 1s not needed,propose to rebate the taxes that most oppress severely them. They propose to cut down taxes so that we shall not collect more mil- lions than are required. But whenever any revenue reformer urges such abatement of unnecessary burdens, up rises sume agent of monopolies to protest, in the name of labor, again-t a policy that aims to protect labor from its spoilers.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS, What the Editors of the New York Journals Are saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, Néw YoRK, January 18.—The WORLD says; “Now comes Senator Payne’s address to the Onio General Assembly, and all who read it in our col- utnss to-day will acknowledge the wisdom of the choice the State has made. Ina few plain, incis- ive words, the Senator-eleect brushes away the fallacy that revenue reform means free trade and places the Democracy on its true principles of honest auminisiration, honest taxation and bon- est protection lor bome industry.”’ THE BUN, The Sun says: *“Goy. Crittenden of Missouri, who bas won great celebrity by his ingenious metnood of detecting crime and dealing with crim- inals, Is said to have distinguished himselfin a new way lately. The Missouri constitution for- bids Stute officials to accept free passes on rail- roads, but Gov. Crittenden ts accused of traveling as a deadhead, using a pass for “Mrs, Crittenden and tamily.””. He apparently makes some subtle distinction unintelligible tu the common mind be- tween a free pass to himself and a tree pass to lis wife and tamily. He uses the pass, noi as for bimseli, but for himself considered as a member of Lis own family. It is said that there is a prob- ability of bis being prosecuted for vi lating the constitutional provision. While Missouri can’t de congratulated on having Mr. Crittenaen for Gov- eruor, she is fortunate in having a cunstitution which provides penalties against deadheads,”’s THE TIMES. The Times, speaking of Seuator Payne’s speech, says: “We regret to say that we have the slight- est confidence in the promises and predictions of this latest Democratic Mahdi.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tripune says: “The Delaware, Lackawan- na and Western Railway has so far been brought to terms by the discipline of Commissioner Fink as to agree to submit the question of percentages to arbitration. The public will congratulate it- self on the prospect of escaping a rutnous war of rates. To be sure, the plan may fail, but when railway managers get to the point of arbitration. peace of some sort is likely to fullow.” THE HERALD. The Herald says: “Mr. Payne, the recently chosen United States Senator trom Ohio, enter- tained the Legislature of the State last night at a banquet, and when the banquet was over gave the legislators a talking to, He said: ‘I have Cesired this social gathering t hat I might in per- sou assure you of my sincere and lasting grat- itude, aud give you a frank expression of my Views on some of Lhe pressing issues of the day.’ But tne only great topic of the day that he toucned on Was ihe tariff, as to whicn, he said that he was not in favor of a high tariff nor of a low tariff, but only of just such a tariff as Ohio inght happen to want. In fact he seems to be in favor of just such a tariff as will suit the largest number of voters, if he can only find out what kind of a tariff thatis. He touched with meder- ate emphasis upon one otber topic of the day, but it Was u minor topic, for it was Payne himself. He mentioned that be had never changed bis mind In the course of his political life, but bad a.ways been of the same Opinivn, and is still.” THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Where the Readers of the Post-Dispatch Finda Hearing. Judge Sherwood and Kring. St. Louis, Mo., January 18, 1884. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Nine years ago to-day a Coroner’s jury declared by its verdict that Dora Broemser had come to her deatb by the hand of Charles F. Kring. The anniversary suggests afact that deserves to be remembered. There isno funnier spect::cle on earth than St. Louis in one of its paroxysms of virtue, As a rule, our standard of morals is nothing to be boasted of. But occasionally our virtue becomes tremendous. In our holy rage we fairly foam at the mouth. An instance occurred in Kring’s case. Kring had committed a coward- ly murder. He deserved to be hung. But mark well that be must be hung according to law or notatall. Andif people allow gambiing rings or other rings to folst upon them incompetent judges and other officers, it is their own fault aud not Kring’s. Kring bad been finally convicted or capital murder. He thought his conviction illegal. He asked a hearing inahigher court. The day of execution was at hana. Unless a Supreme Judge allowed an appeal he would be hung. At that point this puolic virtue wrougit itself initio cunvulsions. The press clamored for Kring’s biood. The public, infuriated and unrefiecting, roared aloud, crucify him. Men almost ebuked with virtuous rage, and rejoiced with savage joy in the hope that the poor wretch fying in jail could not be heard in that highest court Sn which the law allows every cilizou, innucent or guilty, to be heard. Amid this angry clamor J idge Sherwood quietly examiued the papers and grant- ed the appeal and supersedeas. Anhour after- wards Judge Sherwood was more hated by our vir- tuous people thaneven Kring himself. The act of Judge Sherwood was the greatest judicial act ever aone in Missouri, aud pot surpassed in any State or country. His act did not mean that Kring was not guilty. It meaut only this: Kring shall be heard; the Supreme Court ts open and not shut; Russia may bar the doorof her court but Missouri shall not. Judge Sherwood’s was: the bravest judicial act Missouriever witnessed, and it should be commemorated with pride, Mendicant Impostors. St. Louis, January 18, 1884.

One-Third of the Butter Consumed at St. Louis Breakfasts This Morning a Spurious Article—Prominent Provision Men De- nounce the Treffic—Fac'ories Located in Fast St. Louis—Intormation for the Board of Health. There has been a growing complaint among the better class of buiser merchants on ‘Change that the various spurious compositions known as putterine, lardine, ete., are being largely intro- duced and sold upon this market. They allege that fully one-half of ihe paar procery stores and nucksters lu the city markets are offering thesc substitutes for butter to their cusivmers, and cuaranteeing them to be pure and genuine. The state law on tue subject is very plain and ex- plicit. 1 says: “Whoever manufactures out of any oleaginous substances, Or any Compound of the same, other than that produced from unadulterated milk or cream from the same, any articie designed Lo take the place of buller or Cheese produced from pure unadulterated milk or cream of Ube same, or shail se), or offer for sale, the same as uh article of food, shall, On conviction thereof, be confined in the county jail nol exceeding one year, or finea not exceeding $1,0000r both,” The law of Ltnois and some other States does not entirely prolubit§ the sale of these bogus articies, but places them under cerlain restrictions. They must be branded and seld tor what they really are, and not for butter. Ags all of these adul.e; atious cau be map- ufactured and pul on the Market for a jess price than the genuine articie, itis bot Ouly an infringe- ment Upon the rights of an bowest deaier to per- mitthe sale of them, but it is also a downright imposition upon the consumer, Chicago houses that manufacture the articie are reaping a rich harvest trom the sale of it in St. Luuls and throughout the State. It is well known by our puller merchants that some of these Chicago firms have established agencies across the river, at East St. Louis, where all their sales are ade Wo local houses.

Manager Pepe Beturns From New Work eed Telis Some Truths. “Well, go ahead, 1 will teli you all I know,” said Mr. Charles Pope to a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter this morning, who bad asked him for a chat on theatrical matters, Mr. Pope has just returned from a trip ol two weeks’ duration to the t. “What kindof aseason have the New York theaters enjoyed so far?’ “I may say not oyly for the New York theaters, but for tue theaters ali over the couutrs, as far as I can learn, that the season has been disastrous. The managers are ail grumbling about business. I baven’t seen any Chicago managers, but I met a Civciunati man who gave the same account of that place, 8t.

Wallack and the other stars went over wo Il, and ol course people having sen first-class at- teaclions at lower prices than they were accus- towed to wouldn’t go to see them again at higher prices, 80 tue Broadway theaters have pot made auything. This was done wheu everything was IN FLOURISHING CONDITION. and money Was casy,se of course when the shrinkage Came the people were still more dis- Salisicd, Then other popular price theaters were opened, such as McKee Raukiu’s, the People’s aud the Windsor. However, wuen I speak of popular prices in New York, I do not mean such prices as would be calied — here. Lheir popular prices correspond with our regu- lar prices. Atthe Broadway theaters you pay $1 50 at the box-~wflice, and as high as §2, $2 50 and $3 vil the sidewalk ior average entaipinents. Of course, | am only speaking of the seasun in general.

Buffee, a few nights ago than would have beep $1,000 in greenbacks; for in all probability Mr, Buffee will go to the Penitentiary as a result of the loss. it will be remembered that when tne hc use of Mr, Fusz, on Grand avenue, was burg- larized, the burglars collected several uf the large pieces of silver plate near the kitchen door, pre- pauratory to carrying them off when they had looted the sleeping rooms, In their sudden flight they lett this silverware where they had piaced it, and next morning Officer Hurley found on the table, cluse to the valuable govuds, an ludiajrubber vest button, with some of the threads still at- tached to it. Mrs. Fusz comssred it with the buttons on all the garments A the house, and found nothing like it. Hurle opocketea the clew, and when, early the pext wm Tuing be entered a North Broadway salvou in that region, to iake a look at some rough characters who congregate there, be noticed that ou the vest of a young fel- low named Buflee were five buttons corresvond- ing with the one he had in his pocket. Civser in- spection showed that a sixth button was missin from the voitom of the row. Buffee had a har reputation, and Hurley arrested Lim. When questioned avout the Missing button, Buffee siuted that he had cut it off aud sewed it in piace of the top button which be had lost. This was a Hibervian exvlanation, inasmuch as it still left him one bduiton short He protesied his inuv- cence, but Mr. Fusz and his wife are both coufi- dent that he is the man Whwuse face they saw at ihe bedside, alilough they would not swear that they are not mistaken, The buiton together with the knowledge that Buflee was arrestea two ears ago for stealing brass from the Laclede Rolling Mill, and compromised on a Work House seutence, serves to cOufirm their beliel. Furtoer- more, it is quite Clear ihat burglars would not at- tempt to carry off sn their artns a Luge uuwrapped silver tray Unless they expecied to be abie wo hide it before golugw very far, and as Buffee lives within a bivck of the robbed louse, this is another cireuinstance in support of the theory of his guilt.

THE EXPOSITION. Announcement of Its Plans by the Board of Directors. Its Value to Trade—St, Louis a Geographical Center—The Departments—No Premiums _ to be Awarded—To Open Wednesday, Sep~- tember 3. The directors of the Exposition have adopted & prospectus, which will be issued in pamphlet form shortly and distributed throughout the country. Itis an interesting document, but lack of space precludes its publication in full. After calling attention to the magnificent building now in course of erection, giving its location, dimen- sions, etc., the cireular states that the want of such a building bas long been felt in this section ofthe country. “The value of an iustitution of this nature as a means of extending business con- nections, by bringing together the manufacturer and cousumer, has long been recognized, and its andit advantages as an advertising medium is no longer a matter doubt. To the inventor, arti- sau and mechanic such exhibitions have become invaluable; bringing them directly in contact with capitailsts and the public generally, they are the more readily enabled to bring into notice the in- ventions of their skill and braln,and thereby find a profitable market and ready purchasers for their commodities. Meritorious inventions of acknow|- edged utility ana value are always in demaad when their worth is clearly demonstrated, and in no other way can such practical benefits be ob- tained as by placing such articles on public exhi- bition, giving the exhibitor the op- portunity of personally explaining to all those who may take an iuterest in these matters the merits claimed for his exhibit. An enterprising maa is always on the alert to take advantage of every niug which promises remunerative returusfor his capital and labor. and nuwbere in this country is there ty be found a broader field with amore encouraging outlook than in the section of territory tributary to this cily; money is becoming more plentiful, and we are in the midst of an era of pronounced financial prosperity. The people of the Svuth are rapidly coming to the front, as isshown by the largel increased demand for n@t only articies of necessi- ty, but of luxury as well. The keen business nan will not be slow to notice such improvement, and will wisely pursue such a policy as will ena- ble him to participate in the bevefiis accruing therefrom. Toall such we would say that the coming Exposition will present the opportuniiy Lo familiarize themseives with our people and their requirements, and from the acquaintance and Knowiedge sv gained large and satislactory returns mnvy ve confidently expected. THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT. “This department has received special atten- tion, and from the numerous applications already made for space, we can promise a full, interest- ing and valuable exhibit in the several lines of electrical and wood aud iron-working machinery, combluiug many processes, new, novel aud in- structive. The management cordially invite all who Smay have macuwinery of practical inter- est and value to place same on exhibition. “The large 250 horse-power engiue used in this department has been manufactured expressly for the Exposition and Music Hall Association by one of the leading firms of St, Louis. The steain capacity represents over 600 horse-power, ainply sufficient for all requirements. *The boiler-bouse, in wuich the boilers are lo- cated, being completely detached from the main Expositiou building, guarantees greater securi- ty, aud less danger from accidents by fire or oth- erwise, “A large tank bas been placed in the machinery hail for pump exhibits ia operation, with an abundant supply of water for all practical pur- poses. “No charge will be made for space or power, and exhibits can be operated either by attachment two the lines of sha(tiug, or, if preferred, by direct connection separately. (See rules for further in- Lormation).” The fine art department, the circular states, will be a great feature of the Exposition and the display of paintings, ete., will be the largest and best ever seen Dere. Space will be reserved for an exhibit of photographs ana crayon work. In the several departinents of science and educa- tion, household and personal goods, textile fabrics and materials and the liberal arts the display will be full, varied and attractive. No arrange- ments have been made for the display of agricuit- ural implements and machinery, the manage- ment believing that exhibitors in this line would preler to make their exhibit at the regular agri- cultural fair: cousequently such articies will not be received this season,” There will bea floral ball, in which a grand display of flowers, plants and fernola wil be inade, The circular further states: ‘The question of awarding premiums has been carefully cousider- ed, aud the management are convinced that so dolng is, as a general thing, unwise and injurious, and too frequeutly results in disappointment and dissatisfaction to exuibiturs. They velieve that the oaiy prudent course to pursue is to allow the exhibitor to make his display and do business in the way which seems best to him (provided, of course, that he cunforms to the rules governing the association), leaving the result to tae public, who are really the eR and whose vpinion on all such matters is of ihe greatest importance, consequently bo premiums will be awarded.” “To exuibitors we would say, your interests are to @ great extent identical with ours. You may, therefore, rest assured that the management will cordially co-operate with and render you every assistance possibie in meeting those whose ac- quaintabee Can not fail but be of substantial bene- fit to you in a business way. We aim to make this an Exposition, nvifor St. Louis alone, but one Which will afford an opportuuity to bring to- gether represeutative displays {rom the couniry at large, Which, being properly arranged and classified, the different industries can the more readily be understood and appreciated. To that end we extend acordial inviiation to exhibitors from other States to be present with us, aud promise all who may come a hearty welcome,’’ The paper concludes with the annuuncement that special sates on railroads will be made to ex- hibitors aud otwers.

But one was about the will of a late member of ¢ - 2 the features of the Zura Burns, Mary Stanard and Jennie Cramer cases combined. The story, whicn was first published in the Post-DisPateH, is as follows: “soon after sunrise Wednesday morning a party of ice-cutters on their way to Taylor’s old quarry, on the extreme northwestern limits of the cily, came upon the lifeless remains of a young girl, jying at full length upon the snow of the broad, open prairie. The picture presented was mute , but eloquent. The body lay upon the back, the face pointing straight upward, the left arm lying across the body, aud the right being stretched close beside it. The skirts were thrown aside and the limbs exposed to the frozen air. The face and limbs were frozen, and the body Itself, though warmly covered, was cold as ice. There were marks of violence upon the neck and throat, and a dark bruise near the corner of the mouth, while a few reddish stains could ve traced upon the dark, heavy cloak, which was closely but- toned around the lifeless form, “The mystery Was reported by Charles Flint, one of the discoverers, to John Sackiey,. the fore- man of the party Of ice cuuers, Who Lurned in an alarm for the patrol Wagon, Sergeant Conley aud two officers with the Eust Chicago avenue wagon responded, arriving upon the scene at about 7 o’clock this morning. Seeing ata glauce that the Case Was One that demanded the closest official scrutiny, the officers took careiul noe ot everyihbing, remarking the coudition and position of the vody, Which they pinced upon the wagon with the intention of conveying it to the Morgue. Inthe meantime a crowd of fifty or 100 pressed around the vehicle, and out of Its midst presently cale A LITTLE GIRL OF 12 YEARS, who demanded the iight to see the corpse, As she looked upon the ghastly countenance sie burst iitto sobs and threw herself upon it, declaring it to be that of wer sister, Amelia Olsen, who had failed to reach ber home at the expected hour the night before, and for whom the whole family had been eagerly Watching and wailing up Ww that hour. On lovking trom the window of their liitie home, a quarter of a mule to the northwest, she had seen tue crowd gather, and, Knowing that ber sister bad to pass tbat way coming Lome, she feurea that the sceve liad some Convection with hertate. The body was accordingly taken two the littie ove-siory brick Cottage at No. 320 Thomas street, where Amelia bad lived wilh wer father and mother and brother and little sister. The appeurance of the corpse at the dvor was the sixz- nal for the maddest expressions of grief. every member of the little household becoming at once perfectly wiid. THE VICTIM. “Amelia Olsen Was 19 years of age, strong, ro- bust amd bealthy, weighing about 150 pounds. She was of Swedish parentage and of comely ap- pearance, ber light browa hair, fair complexion and hazel ¢yes being cousidered quite allractive in ber own circle. Her ta her ts emploved in the machine-sbops of the Nortowestern RKRatlroad, aud she mauve ber own living by sewing. For sone MONTHS past she has been employed by Mrs. Emma Carlson of No. 239 West ludiana strect, Who speaks very highsy of her indust:y ane her rsoual characier. She leit the house of Mrs. arisen atew minutes befure 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, tutending, as it Was the Unders.oud, to go directiy home, It washer custom to walk over to Chicago avenue aid take the cur as Lar us Leavitt street, the termiuus of the line, from which she compleied the journey on Loot, Be- Oud Leavill street on Chicawo avenue there are utiew bouses, and there isan opeu prairie ou both sides. Westera avenue and all adjacent streets are also sparsely setiled., THE PLACE. At the corner oi Llomas street and Western t /enue there are a a ol houses, and Loward yYorshort cut 600 or 700 yardsin length. It ese, Which lic orthwest of the terminus te the car line, there is a beaten path- ¥ > as near this path, and while Agr ang | ber way homeward alter her day’s work was done, that ihe poor girl, probably pursued by a brute who had become enamored of her fair form and brignt eyes, Uliered her last cry and paid the penalty ol her maidenily attractions. Mrs. Cook, who occu- jes a little dwelling on Chicayo avenue, reports hat she and her daughter heard these cries shortly alter 7 o'clock. Lhe reason she guve for alluwing the circumstance to pass without inves- tigation was, first, that there Was no men In the buuse; and, secondly, that she gave it no serious consideration, as it is commen for lawless per- sons to amuse themselves by aang all sorts ol noises in the neighboriiood after dark. While her house faces the prairie in which the body lay, the distance is sO great that the body as it lay could not be distinguished in the day time, and her house is one of the nearest to the scene of the mystery. ‘The murder has created the most intense ex- Citement in police circles. Soon after the body Was left at the Lome of the parents of the victim an r reported the facts to the commanding Officer at the Kast Chicago Aveuue Station. He iu turn votified Capt. Bonfield, the officer tn charge of the aoe of ibe West Division. Licuts. Shay and Kipley, the heads of Lae detective furce, were also iuiormed. The hiswry and companivouships ofthe victimfor moupths past were carefuily as- certained and recorded. It was learned that she had a jover named Alphonse Wagner, but he was not implicated by any circumstance that could be Drougut to tight. Mis name came up ia the dis- CUSSiVL OL the theories, but all the friends of the girl are satisfied of his innocence, and he bimselfis one of the more unrestrained of the mourners. “In aetyem the bistory of the Victim tor cir- cumstances such as woulu afford an intelligent theory lo be bused upon the eutire surrouudings, the police have been restricted to narrow limits. Tue victim was bright, intelligent, industrious, Well-behaved and attractive. She had mauy ac- Quaintances, and had atiructed no litile atteution #Mvug the Class of beaux who allended the dances given periodically ta the public halls atong Ciica- goand Milwaukee aveuues. Her associations were, however, confiued tu the best of this class, _ ber character for modesty and good beliavior been Maiuiained ia spite of this induigeuce She had rivals as well as admirers, and enemies, bO doubt, but none of the latter so bitter, so far as can be learned, as to give Cause for the suspicion that ber death bad Deen planued aud executed by & seuKer Of Vengeance. THE USUAL POLICE CLEW. “A broken whisky Dottie,naviug been found up- Ov the snow bear tue remaius, some of the officers were iuciined to the belief that the murder was the result of some prolouged debauch, and that cold aud exposure had completed the unfinished work of @drunken rowdy.

He was in the barn when Mrs. Maybee came ing I was notin the barn. Isaw John goim the barn; be went in through the double doors. 1 was at the front side ofmy house when he went in, feeding the pigs.

When Johu had her by the throat she Was onthe ground. When she came in for leaves Joun was standing In the stabvle where the leaves were. It took from ten to fifteen minutes to choke her to death. After she was dead John picked her up and laid her in the back stable. Lsaw him throw some leaves over her. Il was standing on the barn floor, very pear the opening in the door that goes down into the stable. I saw the whole thing myself. After she Was dead, John said: ‘I am going to wait for Annie; I am GOING TO CHOKE HER, TOO. It I choke her, too, ne one will Kuow about it. Then 1 can go to the house and get the money.’ Annie opened the barn door abyuut two feet wide. When she stepped in the dvor, John grabbed her by the mght arm and threw her down. Iwas on the fluor. avout three feet from where he grabbea her. He threw her down on the floor, held her by the right wrist, putuis Knee upon her left arm, and with his right took her by the throat.

He carried herinto the back stable, hear her mother,and covered berall up with leaves, and said: *Now lam going to the bouse.’ We botu went luto the Kitchen dvur. Old Mr. Maybee said: ‘Whois there?’ John said: ‘It's me.’ Then we wc ut up-stairs.” A PRIZE PLUM, Candidates, for the Appellate Bench Al- ready Appearing in Force.

From the London Truth. Certainly the Crown Prince of Portugal has not been treated with any excess of hos- pitality during his visit to England. The cvuld reception which he has experienced is the more strange, inasmuch as the Prince of Wales was received with the utmost splen- dor when be visited Lisbon a few years ago. He lived in a suinptuous palace; balis, races and various reviews were gotten up in his honor, and every concelvabie attention was lavished on him. The Duke of Braganza, after having been quartered in palaces at tne other capitals waoich he has visited, was relegated to inn in London, although Buck- ingham Palace was, as usual, standing emp- ty. ‘Ihe official answer to complaints on the subject is, that it has never been the custom to invite foreign princes to the palace during the absence of the Queen, but this is gross and palpable nunseuse. ‘The Queen fur nearly a quarter of a cent- ury has never occupied Buckingham Palace for more than six daysin each year. It cvs; au enormous amount to build, and several thousands are yearly expended on its main- tenance. It is sumptuousiy furnished in ey- ery part, and contains miles of fine pictures; aud tuere it stands vear after year, nobody ever eutering in it, except on four afteruoous when drawing-rvoms are bheid, and on four evenings when State balls or concerts are given. It ought either to be understood that this palace shuuid be open to royal visitors ot higu rank, or it shouid ve converted into an huspital or museum. ‘The vast sum which the Queen receives every year from the country is not given to be hoarded up, but is mmtended to maiutain the state and dignity of the Crown. The English Court has grad- ually acquired @ most unpleasant reputation abrvad lor eXtreme parsimony, and one would think that instead of the Civil List charges amounting to over £400,000 a year, the Queen was onty in receipt of a tenth of that amvount. So far as expense goes, it saves a royal vis- itor little or nuthing to be a guest at “the Paiace.”” The tips whichare given are enor- mous. Whenthe Emveror Nichvlas passed Ascot week at Windsor Castie, in 1 he left £3,000 for the servants, and gave twelve goid aud diamond suulff-boxes to the lords and gentiemen of the household. In 1855 the Emperor Napoleon gave £1,500 to the Wind- sur servants, and last year the King of the Netherlands expended nearly £1,000in the same way. In faci, I beiieve the Lord Stew- ard keeps a regular tariff of what is expect- ed, the amvunt varying aceerding to the rank of the guest, and this hiw. to be worn on mild s grave Vig t we formaliy presented tu the principal personage in aalemdanen ou Beautiful and elegant Peemomnte muffs, | tendency of sleeplessness that makes even 4 philosupher like HerbertSpencer more or less of a crank. What I wanted, and wanted as the fellow did his pistot in Texas, was a first-class slumb:r, just such un- mitigated repuse as occasionally comes tu a highly organized baby, unvexed by colic or pure cussedness. I began to think that per- haps that British doctor was right, and that, if it were possible, 1 would return to the neglected custom of my ancestors. Just at that moment I plunged my hand into my coat pocket and pulled out a smoking cap—a pretty thing, wrought for me long ago by the dainty, delicate, deft fingers of one who now rests in the graveyard at Augusta. This cap was the wang thing. I placed it rever- eutly upon my head, with an act of faith, and laid down. The result was magical. Never since I wasa boy can I remember to have experienced so perfect and delicious a repose. Notadream rippled the suriace of my calm brain, aud | awakened hours aiter- ward with a sense of satisfaction that must be a furetaste of Heaven itself. An incipi- ent headache had vanished. Powers of mind that had been dulled were restored to ani- mation and keenness.

Subsequent experiments have been relatively successful; so I am getting te ve an enthusiast on the subject. Some folks say that itis a delusion, a mere ireak of the imagination. Be it so.

Likely enough if @ man eats pickled pigs’ feet at miduight, or drinks un- limited whisky, even a silk or cotton night- cap may not cunsiga him w the arms of Morpheus, but it may work wonders for a sober person who is cursed with the pesti- lent habit of conjuring up all manner of odd fancies when his head touches the pillow, instead of dismissing the workmen wh: hammer on the forges of the braiu. The ma- ey of men will rather suffer nocturnal wrrors than be laughed at for wearing night-caps, just as the majority of women will prefer to wear shvues that are instru- ments vf disease and tortnre rather than nave their feet shod comfortably and sensi- biv. I haveaciear idea as to which is the course of wisdom and which the alternative of folly. But this isa diversion whicb you, reader, may smile at or not as the whim seizes you. A Montana Woman’s Heroism. From the Montana Inter-Mountain. A woman iiving near Glendive was the owner of a pet dug, which, ou last Thurday, was playiug, wuen it gavea yelp of almost mortai terror, as a large eagle, with wings larger than a biacksmith’s apron, swooped down and picked up the little cur in his mus- brought up amid all the dangefs of a rough border life, aud with no tigut-fitting skirt to prevent the free movement of her limba, to think is toact. Onthe instant this nobie representative of a noble sex flew into the kitchen Where her husband Kept his shotgun, with which, in the early days, when blood- thirsty ludians were rampaut on the plains, he had often gone out and shot fvol hens. She bounced vut of the front door, gun in hand. in an instant she directed her eagle eye into the air, where, soaring abont ten feet distaut, she discerned the embiewm of our national liberties with her yellow poodle grasped convulsively. but firmiv, in_ its ciaws. Foramomentshe ran her trained eye along the Darrel of the ane in the direc- tiun of the bird, closed her liquid orbs with a shudder, and banged away. When she opened thei the eagie Was pruspecting in- tersiellar space and the dog lay scattered around in fragments all over the yard. She wept bitter tears, and, as she picked up. the pieces and toid her youngest buy to grease the sausage machine, she swore in broken Missouri, and with many a sob, everlasting war on the shotgun pulicy. “Pink Balls” in Paris. Paris Letter. White muslin balls have been found in- sipid. They can only interest mammas and professional match-makers. A young aud weil brougit-up French deimoiselle is not a person with whom to wile away an hour agreeably in a ball-room. She is only out to be married, and in a business-like way, just asa lamb is taken to fair or market to be sold. As she can have nv voice in the matri- monial negotiations of which she may be the object, it woulcd be worse than useless for a cavalier to attempt to impress her favorably. When not dancing, she sits stil) and tries tu look vacant. ‘The rose ball is anotLer thing. “A rose,” in the ball-room slang of the day, means avery young matron. it not being allowable to peer into birth cirtificates, “roses” are classed according to the number of years they have been married. In the first year of wedded life there is the blush rose (la France), When eignt or nine years of matrimonial bliss have been run, and beauty is buidly imposing, there is the ‘Paul Neron”’ and the **Keine d’ Angleterre.” Next is the “Gloire de Dijon,” a tea rose, very lovely iu its way, but yellowish, and tuerefore not admissible to a pink-ruse party. Pink, it is found, is not becuming after thir- ty. Ladies, therefore, of a “certain age”’ are excluded from rose bails. Fetes of this kind are too often given by charming beings who jook best in a roseate hue. Invitations are generally limited, and those favoured with them are selected because they will look frightiulin the pink livery that is de rigueur. A salluw face will be a dreadful disadvan- tage ;so will be a pensive countenance,or one that grief has touched even without spoiling. There are insignificant blondes, who are ut- terly effaeeu in the fresh brightness of a pink party. poe Brother Dana’s Classical Tragedy.

With the trae Western woman, - neighboring cattle owner relative to the orenen eeain “re nant result was nai rencoutre, in which Jackson shot and killed his man. The frieuds of the dead cattle dealer swure vengeance and Jackson was forced to flee tu the mountains, where he was joined by Thomas Jackson, a younger brother. Here he was foliowed by the Sheritf of his county an! a posse of the dead man’s Srignds who hunted him down like a wild beast. Ina few days they ran upon him in a wild, sequestered spot, where a fierce battle ensued. Jacksum stood his ground, Le presary- like a tiger, and when the sinoke had cleared away it was found that he had killed two of the posse and the Sher- iff. The remainder uf the gang beat a hasty retreat. Several weeks ago several sheriffs organ- ized a posse and once again invaded the mountain fastness in quest of Jackson. He met them again and succeeded this time in kil‘ing two more sheriffs and putting the rest of them to anigavminivous flight. This made six men, in ail, which Jackson of Gwinnett had caused to bite the dust under the flash of his deadly rifle. Meantiime, Jackson’s wife, with six children, was strug- giing along ou his cattie ranch. Several wveks ago she wrote to a brother of Jackson, who lives in Gwinnett County, tuat she was unable to get firewvod and had beeu burua- ing curn fur many weeks. She had no one to aid her and saw no hope of the return of her husband, who was still in the mount- ains. Last Friday the same brother got a tele- gram stating that the woman, having grown desperate over the state of affairs, had bLluwn her braias out with a double-barre! shutgun. A short time befure he received a lung let- let from Jackson himselt, stating that he and his brother had two Winchester rifles and two Coilt’s revulvers apiece aud plenty of ammunition, aud were resvived nevertyv be takeu alive. The State of Arkansas has ouilawed Jackson, and his brother from Gwinuett has gone outto look after the children and the property. - FASHION NOTES. High colffures and higu ruffsare again in vogue. Kettledrums and 5 o’clock teas are things of the past. Fur muffs are small, smaller than those of satin and plush. Very bigh standing collars appear on all sorts of dresses. , ' Receptions and afternoons at home begin at 4 o’clock and end at 7. White fur hoods should be worn in the evening or in a carriage. Seal and dark furs are preferred for walk- ing and sieighing hoods. Evening shoes are again becoming quite fanciful in color and design. Fur hoods are worn for walking as well as sleighing in the coldest weather. Gold lace and gold embroidery on tulle are used sparingly for ball toilets. Artificial dyed furs are used on street costumes of children and young girls. Four o'clock tea is de rigueur an informa! gathering withuut cards being sent. Brown, green, and dark grey continue to be the favorite colors of the season. Costumes entirely of wool or af velvet are fashionably trimmed with the lighter furs. Capotes with decided brims are more fash- ionable than the tiny Fanchons of the past. Nearly all of the wraps for children are modifications of the pelisse and perdine com- bined. Young matrons wear little evening caps of lace und flowers, or lace, ribbon and feathers. Fur trims everything this winter, from the crown of the hat to the topof the walking boot. ‘ The bead embroidery on the colored kid evening shoe is generally of the same shade as the kid. Borders of fur are used to excess on dress- es of all kinds, whether for the street or house wear. Little girls wear the Kolbach Hongrois made entirely of fur, or Hungarian caps with deep fur brims, For little boys there are soft berets trim- med with ribbon, or large fur hats of the mountaineer shape. Taffeta glace, plain and brocaded, is the coming silk for early spring and pext sum- mer’s full dress wear. Muffs may match the capote and the cos- tume, or they may be as great acontrast as the wearer nay fancy. Ash grey, raby, and olive are the favorite colors for dressy velvet reception and opera cloaks and mantles. A beautiful Parisian muff exactly simulates a bouquet of the crimson, yellow, and green leaves of the sumac. It isthe fancy of the moment to wear three bracelets on one arm, each a riviere of a dif- ferent kind of jewel or gem. Tne Marie Stuart capote is much affected asa theater bonnet by those ladies whose beauty Is of the classic type. Biides’ toilets are very simple, buta de- parture is made in dresses for bridesmaids, which cannot be too elaborate. High Moliere shoes of fine black kid, cut out in points at the ankle and closed with triple bows, are a recent freak of fashion. The inexpensive fancy trimming furs are referred by parents for their young lady caughters to the heavier and richer kinds. The prettiest and most elegant matinees (wrappers) for brides wear are made of white cloth trimmed with white fox borders. ‘Plush and yelvet sileighing hoods are bordered with chinchilla, seal, gbeaver, and otter, and lined with bright cvlored quilted satins. Large sealskin hats are worn as_ walking hats by the English: and French. They are trimmed with kittens, squirrels, or whole birds. For the toilets of bridesmaids combina- tions of soft pale blue, lilac, or rose wools with embroidered gray gauzes are new and tasteful. Among the favorite designs for evenin shoes are those having haif high heels an —— toes covered with an embroidery of 8. rite the furs are the Columbia, FR aay + Dears, the latter being worn alike by th the old, and those in the prime of life rs Fancy muffs of yelvet and lace are adorned with feathers, birds, autuma leaves, aud, in- deed, with all t @ garnitures used on the bonnets.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YORK, January 18.—A man giving his name as Alfred Arfwedson ana claiming to be the husbaud of Catherine Lewis, the operatic singer entered the Twenty-first Precinct Station House about 10 o’clock on Wednesday night and ex- citedly begged for police protection. He said that he had just received a telegram that he could copie are satisfied : with. Nilsson and Sembnch were | not understand. It was dated New York, Janu- ary 16, and read as follows: 2 “Meet us to-night in the saloon corner Third avenue and East Thirty-fourth street. “SHELDON, Detective.” Arfwedson saia he was afraid it was a scheme to do him injury, and asked that officers be de- tailed to accompany him to the place aboye ‘men- tioned. Capt. Ryan, witha Post-DIsPATCH cor- respondent, went with Arfwedson, and on arriv- ng at the appointed place found Detective Shel- d6n of the Twenty-third Precinetand two other policemen. On seeing Arfwedson Detective Shel- don took bim aside and asked him if he knew anything of the whereabonts of James on Catherine Lewis’ manager. Arfwedson said he did not know where Nixon was. Arfwedson said he was separated from his wife, Catherine Lewis, ana he supposed Nixon was with her. The fact was then disclosed that Nixon was wanted on a charge of forgery andswindling of Mr. Louis Kuntz,a nephew of G. A. Kuntz, a butcher at Third avenue and Nineteenth streets, being the complainant. It was supposed that Nixon was onthe road acting as manager for Cath- erine Lewis, and instructions were TELEGRAPHED TO BALTIMORE, where she had been singing during the week, to meet Nixon. Mr. Kuntz said last night to the PoOsT-DISPATCH correspondent: “About two months ago Nixon came to my market for the first time. He said he was a brother of Catherine Lewis and that he _ resided with her at No. 1444 Lexington avenue. He pur- chased some steak anc left, Almost daily r- wards he bought meat. On the 8th day of De- cember he gave me a check for §20. It was drawn on the Chatham Nationa® Bank. On the left of the check was printed N. C. Bishop, No. 243 Broadway. The check was supposediy in- dorsed by the same person, whoever he may be. I accepted the check and returned $18 74 10 change. The check was returned to the market as ‘no account,’ The name of Bishop was one as- sumed by Nixon. On inquiry I learned that a number of others had en victimized.” Mr. Wiliam B. Morgan, agent for the flat of which Catherine Lewis and her family until very re- centiy occupied the fourth floor, said that Nixon in Octo ber rented the floor for the actress, ugree- ing that $3) should pe paid monthly for rent. The rent was paid until December tu cash. About the 9th of December,” continued Mr. Morgan, “he gave me a check for $35. I refused to pay him the $5 difference and he changed it. I paid the check to my partner and he gave it to another person. It was soon returned to me as worthless. I immediately cailed on Nixon to make the matter right. He laughingly said that the money had not reached the bank yet. A day or two after he paid the pill, ana I returned tne check to him. He then wished me to cash a check for $100, but Irefused. Since then I have not seen him. Siuce his absence several butchers and grocers have brought to me checks drawa by Nixon and purporting to be indorsed by me, WHICH WERE FORGERIES. I venture to say that tweuty-live persons have lost money by him since Decembe1 1, and that the amount of money represented by the checks wiil reach nearly a thousand dollars.” Mr. H. Bauer, a grocer at Ninety-fourth street and Tuird avenue, said that a short time ago he cashed a check for $35 which Nixon presented. It was dated New York, November 13, 1883, and was numbered 413, and drawn on the Tradesmen’s National Bank. On left of the check ap- peared in “Broadway and Reade street.” was signed the name of Raymond. It was indorsed also by ‘I. F. Nixon and Fred W. Smith & Co. A few days later the check was returned to him as worthless. Mr. E. Beck, a butcher on Third avenue, be- tween Ninety-second and Ninety-third streets, said that some time ago Nixon bought a porter- house steak of him for 70 cents, and tendered a check for $20 in payment. He received his change, and a few days alter the check was re- turned. Mr. Fred Wilkenning., a grocer at No. 1660 Third avenue, also cashed checks for $15 and $20 for Nixon. He loses these amounts. Mr. William Long, a butcher at Fifty-second street and Sixth aveuue, and Mrs. Rhatemel, a saioon keeper at Ninety-third street and Third avenue, say that Nixon has ATTEMPTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES to give them checks, but they would not take them. Mrs. Clark, of No. 1434 Lexingtou avenue, says that Nixon borrowed $20 of her, and gave her in return a check for the amount, which was returned. Nixon is known to have drawn several otber checks on different banks, and indorsed by responsible or fictitious persons. One was for $14 on the Second National Bank, and payable to the order of J. F. Nixon. It was signed by John Duff, manager of Daly’s Theater. If was in- dorsed by James H. Nixon, H. Bauerand Wiiliam Zimmer. Mr. Duff last evening pronounced this to be aforgery. Still another for $28, on the National Park Bank, is signed by George Hen- drick and is indorsed by J. F. Nixon and H. Bauer. The detectives say that Nixon will prob- ably be arrested before many hours. The evi- dence against him is very strong. Mr. Arfwedson said last night that about a year aco he hifed Nixon to take charge of his wile’s baggage on their tour. Ina short time he haa suceeeded in alienating her affections and eight months ago he and his wife separated in conse- quence. He charges all his domestic troubles ubon Nixon, and as a geuceral consequence gives him a bad character. — THE THEATERS. A very interesting representation of “Fra Dia- volo” was given by the Buston Ideais at the Grand Opera House last evening, the singing, however,being better than were the dramatic feat- ures of the representation. Miss Marie Stone, who has been severely worked this week, singing atevery performance thus far, appeared as Zer- lina, and was admirable, singing the charming music falling to the roie very handsomely, under the circumstances, and acting the part with brightness and intelligence, its serious qualities being given a great deal of interest. Miss Gerat- dive Uimar -made_ siher first appear- ance this week, and did admirabiy. Sbheis aihandsome and sparkling actress and with Barnabee did some admirable comedy; their Lady and Lora Alicash being exceedingly ciever, although more quiet and reserved than the inter- yretations of the roles we haye been used tu. As ra Diavolo Tom Karl presented a picturesque figureand sang well. Therestof the cast was exceilent and although hitherto several of the parts have been given greater dramatic promi- nence, the average of the performance was very high. To-night the exquisite work “Marriage of Figaro” will be given with a fine cast. *ss “The Silver King” is one of the best attractions given in St. Louis this season, and is admirably produced atthe Olympic. Its last performance will be given this evening aud at the matinee and evening to-morrow. “The Strategists’’ are giving a good entertainment at the Standard, and “A Diamond Mystery,” at the Peopie’s, isa good sen- sational drama. Edwards’ Theatre Comiaue is presenting 2u interesting Dill, andthe Dime Mu- scum bas a big array of attractions. #2 *¢ The exceedingly fine and interesting season of comedy, as interpreted by the Wyndhanr com- edy Company at Pope’s, is drawing to a elose. To-nigbt one of the most deliyhtful bills of the series “Cozy Couple” and “Butterfiv Fe- ver,” in which Mr. Wyndham appears in two in- teresting characters, will be given. At to-mor- row’s matinee “A Household Fairy” and “Bright- on” will be presented for the last time, ana in the evening “Uncle’s Wili” and “Pink Dominoes” will close the series, whic!: has been by all odds the best comedy season given in St. Louis for years.

An extraordinary demand was made on the Fire Department last night, the alarms numbering seven. - Fortunately, however, the occasions for alarm were all insignificant. About half past 6 o’clock p. m., Ed. Conkling’s saloon and boarding- house, Novo. 2801 South Broadway, was damaged to the extent of $150. Shortly afterward the estab- lishment of the Excelsior Photographic Company, No. 3505 North Broadway, had the same misfort- une, its loss amounting to about $300. The Chris- tian Brothers’ stables on the St. Charles rock rvad, near King’s Highway, next demanded ut- tention, but 1t was entirely destroyed, the borses being saved. The loss will hardiy reach $300. At 8:45 o’clock a vacant house, No. 1839 Svuth Ninth street, belonging to Jobn H. Miller, was discovered to be burning, and was only saved by hard work, the loss being $450. At 9 o’clock fire broke out among some gas ineters in a rear room on the fifth floor of the St. Louls Gas Light Com- pany’s building, and aconflagration was prom- ised. The Sixes were summoned by messenger, and by leading a line of hose to exactly the right spot, succeeded in confining the flames to the room of origin. An alarm had been unuecessar- ily sounded meanwhile, anda great crowd as- seimbled,* The damage is estimated at $200. At 12:30 o’clock a false alarm was sounded by some “boozy” gentieman, who yd thought he was ringing for a carriage. No fire could be dis- covered. At 1:30 o’clock this morning, Halt- grewe & Leroi’s furniture factory, No. 1506 Mul- lanphy, which was completely destroyed two years ago, showed signs of danger, and was saved with difficulty, the damage being about $500 Do not be deceived; ask for and take only B.

The corridor of the Planters’ Houge, about 8:30 o’clook yesterday morning, was well fillea with men. Arrivaisfrom the trains were coming in, and business men were standing and sitting around, chatting or smoking before beginning the work of the day. A buxom, and néatly, but rather plainly, dressed young woman stepped briskly into the corridor and started for the cashier’s office. When she had reached half way across the open space, a shade of doubt and anx- iety passed rapidly across her face, and one hand made a grab at something invisible. The expres- sion soon deepened into one of distress, and her walk became a labored waddle. The spectators were beginning to manifest deep interest in the development of the play. The young woman managed to get within a few feet of the office counter, when she made a sud- den turn, a buneh of dry goods flew up toward the wall,a lightning-like hitch was made on gsomething, and presto! there was a de- cided relief in the strain of the situation. She then started on a bee line for the door at a Weston gait, butgthe relief was illusory and deceptive, for she had no morethvn gotto the middieof the floor when another waddle changed into evi- dences of decided tangle-foot. The supreme mo- ment had come and nerve was in demand, A pair of feminine jaws pressed together like steel clamps; two pieces of linen joined together were taken from her feet, wrapped in a bundle and de- liberately placed under her arm, and the young woman sweptoutof the aoor with head up and colors flying. Nota smile had apparently been cracked by either spectators or chief performer, as the scene was rather too tragic, but as soon asthe last tipof thedress disappeared, a howl was heard jiu the topfleor, Ik was unani- mously decided, however, that the young woman Lad great nerve.

The report of Superintendent Durant, of the Bell Telephone Company, for the year 11883 will show thatthe number of stations added to the Exchange was about 300, while 100 were discon- tinued, the total pow being 1,301. The suburoan towns are now nearly all tapped, the following being added to the list of the Exchangé: Bartold, Kirkwood, Belleville, Brooxside, Caseyville, Cen- terville, Clayton, Qollinsville, Freeburg, French Village, Highlana, Lebanon, Mascoutah, Marissa, Nameoki, New Athens, O’Fallon, Pattonville, Reutchier, Rinkelville, Shiloh, St. Jacobs, Sum- ‘roy. The amount of wire stretched was 145 miles, the cost being over $200 per mile. Fires destroyed twenty-nines pboxes. The Burrell-Comstock fire occasioned $1,200 dam- age to the company. The company employs 125 men regularly. It will not furtiier extend the suburban system until better inducements are of- fered by the town corporations. It has been found impracticable to use more than ove wire at atime between St. Louis and suburban towns, as the proximity of the wires to each other on the voies occasions a confusion of sounds. An electric light wire when near the telephone wire makes such a loud rumbling as to serlously interfere with the telephone service at night.
