Mrs. Druse moaned, CRIED AND FINALLY SHRIEKED so loud that her voice was. heard in the and street adjoining, Sheriff Hook reached his hand over her breast and Deputy Ballou sprang the trap. The 218 pound weight dropped at 11:45, a, m. and the woman’s body was lifted about three feet above the floor of the gallows. There was but one convulsion or muscular contraction of the body, and the body then hung quiet. The wind was howling fiercely at this moment with a bright sky. THE BODY TAKEN DOWN. Mrs. Druse’s death, under the judgment of the law, was far more easy and merciful than was that of her victim, her husband, in December, 1884. Doctors "iay and Suiter took observations of the woman’s pulse and heart during the time she was hanging. They pro- nounced her dead at 12:03 p. m., but the body was left hanging until 12:14, 26 minutes after the weight fell, when it was taken down by order of the Sheriff. Upon examination, tne surgeon declared that her neck was not broken and that death was caused by strangu- lation, REMOVING THE BODY. Rey. Dr. Powell re-entered the jail yard and took possession of the remains of Mrs. Druse in~ compliance with her request. The casket was in coffin. form with silver plated trimmings and an ornament consisting of ahand grasping a bunch of flowers on the top. The expression on the face of the dead woman gave no indication that Mrs. Druse had suffered any pain. County Judge Smith did not enter the jail yard on account of his holding” a term of court. Dr. Powell withdrew before the final act and but twenty-five persons, by actual count, witnessed the execution. Un- dertaker Honell placed the remains in the coffin, closed it and a hearse and two sieighs were driven into the jail - yard. At 12:28 p. m. the modest funeral cortege passed out of the jail yard and through the crowd about the jail. There were no demon- strations on the part of the spectators. AT THE CEMETERY. At Oak Hill Cemetery, about a mile west of the village, the coffin was placed inan outer case. Before depositing it into the compart- mentof the vault, Dr. Powell made afew remarks, saying that this woman had left this sorrowful world to meet a merciful God. He said that her devotion to her daughter was phenomenal, and also her self possession was remarkable. In his committal prayer he asked that the day might dawn when those separated from this mother might be re united with her. The _ coftin was placed in compartment No. 15, where it will rest until the final disposition of the re- mains has been decided upon. Sheriff Cook gave Dr. Powell permission to call upon as many deputies as he desired for temporary guard purposes. When the remains were remoyed from _ the jail-yard, the people surrounding the jail were permitted tosee the gallows. A number of women were in the crowd, but these the guards excluded. MARY DECLARED INNOCENT. In compliance with the request from her daughter that she should not leave a blot on her name, Mrs. Druse asked Horatio P. With- erstine, a notary, and one of the Sheriff’s jury, to prepare the following alilidavit, which she signed with a firm hand: State of New York, County of Herkimer. I, Roxalana Druse, in my last moments, do hereby solemnly swear and affirm that my daughter, Mary Druse, who is now confined in the Onondago Penitentiary, had nothing whatever to do with the killing of her father, William Druse, or with the disposition of his body. This statement I have repeatedly made, and always adhered to it at the inquest and since my confinement. My daughter, Mary Druse, isabsolutely inno- cent and wasinno way connected with her father’s (William Druse’s) death. Mrs. ROXALANA DRUSE. By 1:30 p. m. the excitement in the village had entirely subsided and the majority of the itors had leftthetown. The execution was conducted with decency and decorum andina manner that did credit to Sheriff Cook and his assistants. This was the first execution that ever occurred within the present limits of Herkimer County, although nearly forty mur- ders are on record. MRS. DEUSE’S CONFESSION. At 9o’clock yesterday morning, Dr. Powell received a message from the jail requesting his presence at once, as Mrs. Druse wished to see him on a ~*matter of great importance. He immediately repaired to the cell of ths doomed woman, who greated him very warmly. The attendant was re- quested to leave them in_ seclusion, but refused to do so. Sheriff Cook was appealed to, and upon the earnest solicitation of Dr. Powell, he was allowed to listen to what Mrs. Druse had to say, uninterrupted. When allowed, the latter gaid: ‘‘Mr. Powell, I have sent for you to make aconfession. Will you listen?’’ ‘*Yes, certainly,’’ replied the Doctor, and bo at once produced pencil and paper. **WhatI am aboutto say to you has never been made public before, and I assure you on the honor of awoman standing on the brink of the grave, that lam speaking the truth. The world has turned against me; but I know I have one fond left, and that is you. Now you must promise that you willnotsay aword ofthis untilIam gone. Then you can publish it and let this cruel world know the truth of the matter. Idon’t wanttotake any more of your time than I can help, eo will begin at once: STORY OF THE MURDER. **I must take you back before the murder and tell ofa conversation had with Charles Gates in reference to the killing of Druse. It was about December 1, ou a Wednesday night. Druse was away, as he usually was, a big part of the time. Gates came in and asked meif I was alone. Georgie and Frank were out riding down the hill. Mary was up-stuirs. Gates then uskeod me if I did not want to getrid of Druse. I told himIwas nearly dead, now, and did not care what happened. Hie asked meifIhad the pistol he gave me, yet. Itwasinthe pantry, and ltold himso. LOADING THE PISTOL, **I went and got it and showed it to htm. He saw it was not loaded in all the barrels (mean- ing the cylinder chambers),and he put in some more cartridges and gave it back to me. He wanted to know if I could fire it, and Iwentto the door and snapped it. It did not go offforthe cartridge was no good. I putin another, and he said: ‘Well, you know how te do it, and that is enough.’ He then said, ‘Now, if anything happens, you can depend on me to help you.’ With that he went away. He came again on De- cember 17, the night before the murder, and told me to hurry up—to take the first chance I got. He said I should not burn the head because it would leave traces; he would take care of that. He geaid he would get the buckwheat at the same time and save any cause of sus- picion. The next morning! saw him coming up the road, just as Druee sat down to break- fest. This was justafter he raised the ax to strike me, and I ran in the buttery.

He ewore avial about Pers * ia & © . s x Lad : ; - Pe gee oO ae a ee eee 8 SRE CSE OP EOD gs PRI RE oe aE » ¢. ae , a shot. I hit him in the neck and oniy stunned him, Gates then shot through the window, and he fell to the floor. Gates then shot again, I only shot once. Gates shot three or fourtimes. I took the ax and cut his head off and chopped him up. The head was wrapped in paper and carried out to the woodshed. It was put in aiotof buckwheat. The body was all burned upand none was given to the pigs. That is not true about feeding \it to the hogs. It was boiled and then burned Gates came that night and I told him what had happened. He grasped my hand and said I done nobly. He said he would come for the buckwheat ‘to-morrow morning,’ which he did. He took Druse’s head with him. It was buried one mile from Richfield Springs. where I could find itifI chose. It could never be found, for the secret lies with Gates and I alone. . CREMATING THE BODY. ‘‘Charles Pett overheard us talking about it once, but he is dead now and cannot talk. Gates isthe only one who knows anything. aboutit. There was another man with Gates when he got the buckwheat, and it was Elwood. His name was Bill. It took eight hours to burn the body, and it made an awful smell. 1 nearly fainted several times. George and Frank Gates were there some of the time. They did not see much, though. I sent them down to the wood-lot and had them earry shingles. I killed Druse because I could not stand it an longer. He was a brute and I had not slept with him intwelve years. That is all I can tell. Gates put up Frank to tell whathe did tell, to shove itall onto me, but he will get his reward some time. SECRECY ENJOINED. ‘‘Now, you must nottell any one this until I am gone, and not let it getin any paper until after 12 o’clock to-morrow. I don’t care bow many know it then. I trust to you to sé¢e it is all right. You can say, too, that on my dying day 1am more innocent of the crime than those who put me up to it. I freely forgive them all—all who so cruelly deserted me. There are some names On that petition sent from Warren which I could cover with shame, but I die in peace with every one.’’ After she had finished, Dr. Powell, out of observance of the holy day, offered a short prayer and then took his leave. He desired the above published as soon after the hanging as possible, but not before. —_— THE CRIME, William Druse Butchered by His Wife and Daughter andthe Body Cremated. Roxalana Druse killed her husband, William Druse, andin the commission of the crime was assisted by her daughter Mary. The husband and father was a shift- less fellow who, without any real education, had picked up afund*of informa- tion much greater than was possessed by any of his neighbors. He read nearly every- thing he could get his hands on to read and delighted in asserting views which were opposite to those held by the persons about him. He worked but little and Was somewhat of a charge upon his wife. They lived on a farm outside of Herkimer, N. Y., and the wife, daughter and eon did most of the work. Druse never looked a day ahead. He let his apples rot rather than store them, and his meal barrel was ALWAYS AT A LOW EBB. His wife was described as under-sized, thick-set, with somewhat sharp features, and sinall, strangely restless blue eyes. Her eyes were very small, almost abdnormally so, but nothing that was worth seeing escaped them. She methim while herself employed on the Northrup farm, near thetown of War- ren, N. Y., asahop picker. He was consid- ered a likely young fellow, cross and disagreeable in his manners at times, but with a good farm of his own which his father had bought him. it was not iong after the marriage Mrs. Druse realized she had made a mistake, but she lived on with him. At onetime SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HIM, but he would not give up the $500she had brought as her dower, nor let her have the children. lle became more contirmed year by year in his disagreeable ways andidleness. One day he was missing. He had been working on a model of an inven- tion of his own,and Mrs. Druse toid that he had gone to New York on business connected withthe model. He aid not return, and the fact that the house had been closed fora day andallthe while clouds of smoke were seen pouring from the chimney led the neighbors to suspect that something had happened not covered by the story that Mrs. Druse related. It was learned that Druse had not gone to New York. Small facts lead to the suspicion he had been murdered. After a few days Mrs. Druse’s nephew, Frank Gates, and herson, George — confessed that William Druse had een MURDERED BY HIS WIFE and the body had been cremated by her with the assistance of her daughter, Mary. Mrs. Druse, they said, had hit her busband with anax. As he fellhesaid, ‘‘Oh, Roxie, don’t!’’ She struck him then on the neck with the blade of the ax, nearly severing the head from the body. The cremation was in a half-circular parlor stove, made for burning wood, The ashes were taken outto ~swamp where experts jound twenty- eight fragments of human bones. A defense of self-defense was set up by her coun- sel, but she was convicted and sentenced to hang. She told a number of stories about the crime, stories that con- flicted in many particulars. Her daughter was givena penitentiary sentence, and has often expressed a wish to change places with her mother. It was THEIR EFFORTS TO HIDE THE CRIME and their brutality in the means employed to cover it up that causedthemto be so gener- ally condemned bythe public. Mrs. Druse, had she confessed the murder at the first, notattempting to mutilate the body of her husbaad, might have receivea only a peni- tentiary sentence. It, was paposeed.. and is still believed in the country about Herkimer, in spite of denials and in spite of the fact that the prosecution did not charge it, that she had fed the body of her husband to their hogs. This increased the popular indig- nation against her. ; A HORSESHOE’S FLIGHT. A Fire Engine Horse Plays Quits and Breaks a Southern Hotel Window. — The Southern Hotel had good luck thrown at it this morning with precision and effect, yet Manager H. C. Lewis is not happy. He contemplates a large sheet of broken glass and is only prevented from sigh- ing over it by the uniqueness of the accident which broke it. At half-past 5 this morning Engine No. 15 from the house on South Broadway at the head of Valentine (Almond) street was going north on Broadway to the fire at Sixth street and Washington avenue.

Louis Fast Mail—Indignant Sexnators—Congressional Proceedings—Washington News. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—The bill making an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the full reimbursement of the depositors of the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company, which passed the Senate yesterday will, with- out much doubt, pass the House. As hereto- fore intimated in these dispatches, it will re- quire extra vigilance on the part of those charged with the disbursement of this money to keep much of it from getting into the hands of lobbyists and claim agents. Mr. ‘Morrill, Chairman of the Finance Committee, who had charge of the bill, insisted that the safeguards put in the bill were ample to prevent this, but Mr. Vest, who closely inspected the provisions of the measure, was not satisfied with this, as will appear from the following remarks which may, however, be consicered as too sweeping. Does not every lawyer, every man of com- mon sense know whgt is the result of such legislation. There willbe all sorts of indi- rection for the purpose of drawing this money out of the Treasury. Those of us who have been in public life but a very few rears, know that when you create a func and eave it subject to such legislation as I have read, there will always: be found harpers and plunuerers around this city who will contrive means to get every dollar out of the Treasury. Who ever heard of Congress appropriating a dollar that there was not found someclaimant to bring the proof nec- essary to get it out of the Treasury of the people. There wiil be no assignee, nobody pretends that you willever hear of an as- signee, but there will be attorneys in fact for the original depositors and for their heirs and legal representatives, and every dollar of the money will go to the speculators:’’ — $$$ —______—— CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. A New Apportionment to Be Made—Sam Randallin Danger. Bv Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. OC., Febr 28.—The present Legislature of Penn ivania wHl have the duty of making a new apportionment of the congressional districts of that State. The State, under the census of 1880, became en- titled to an additional member, who, up to this time, has been elected for the State atlarge. Five members of the House, under the existing apportionment,are given to Phila- delphia and its suburbs. It is understood that in making the new apportionment the addl- tional member will be given to Philadelphia, making six in all. This will necessitate ‘the entire rearranging of the Congressional districts for Philacelphia, and will bring to the front the question, ‘‘What shall be done with Samuel J. # Randall?’’ As is, of course, perfectly well known and under- stood in Pennsylvania and everywhere else, Mr. Randall has, for many years, held his seat in Congress through Republican sufferance, a district being specially carved out for him. Last autumn, when through Democratic dis- satisfaction in his district, there would have been no difficulty in defeating him, the Repub- licans abstained from putting a candidate in the field against him, although at the same time the Democrats put candidates up in Kelly’s and Bingham’s district, where « the Republicans held 10,000 majority. In making the new Philadelphia districts it will be perfectly feasible to consti- tute the whole six with certain and safe Re- publican majorities, and local sentiment is said to be largely in favor of it. Onthe other hand, the Republican bosses are still unde- termined whether it will pay to throw Mr. Randall overboard. ‘‘There is just this about it,’’ said one of his Republican colleagues in the House to-day, ‘‘Sam is of much more benefit to us, I mean so faras the Pennsylvania idea is con- cerned, than any Republican we can possibly put into his place, and we willhave to decide between this and the personal ambition of the politicians of our party, who want to come in his place.’’ The Texas Election Investigation. WASHINGTON, D. C.,. February 28.—In the Texas investigation to-day, Bernhart Leh- mann, a German barkeeper, was sworn and examined by Mr. Eustis. Hetestifled that he wasakepublican untilthat party became so corrupt in its local administaation, that he could no longer continue with it. With regard to the reputation of the memorialists, he said Hackworth’s was bad and Schulze’s was worse. He had nothing to say against Moore. On cross-examination by counsel for the me- morialists,ne said he left Long roint, where he was in business, On account ofa ‘‘personal difticulty.’’ He also admitted that he kept his saloon open on Sunday and sold liquor in defiance of the Sunday law. Hackworth was a prohibitionist. E. P. Curry (white Democrat) testified to his belief that negroes in Washington County were intimidated by their fellow Republicans when they wished to vote the Democratic ticket. He had heard of fifteen or twenty negro clubs in the county the members of which were sworn to vote the Re- publican ticket. Indignant Senators. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—War is brewing between the two houses of Con- gress. Members of the Senate Committee on appropriations? who are usually very guarded in their ntteranees, make no concealment of their opinion thatan extra session is now al- most inevitable, nor do they hesitate to place the blame where they think it belongs. After two or three conferences on the sundry civil bill last week, which were almost nulli- fied by the early withdrawal of the House conferees, a meeting was secured at 10 o’clock yesterday morning, which was intended by the Senate members to last through the day and through last night as well, if necessary, tocomplete the bill and clear the desks for the remaining appropriation bills. Randall's Game. By Telegraph to the POsTt-DiIsPaTcnu. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—The Senate has practically stated that it would not consider the delinquent appropriation bill in the haste desired by the House, and a special session is almost inevitable. Some think Mr. Randall also desires a special seasion. Hehas allof the Adminis- tration he wishes, and is willing to tie it up in a knot and to die by a special session. He is supposed to be planning a conspiracy by which Cleveland will be defeated for re- nomination. The St. Louis Fast Mail. Ry Telegraph to the Post-Dispaton. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—Congress- man Dockery, who has for some days been in conference with the Postmaster-General, hop- ing to have established additional fast mail service trains from the East to the West through and tributary to St. Louis, has not as yet succeeded in having perfected the neces- sary arrangements. He thinks, however, that the fast mail service will be established before & great while. The Pacific Investigation Resolution. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. ©., February 28.—The joint resolution fromthe Senate, providing for an investigation of the Pacific railroads, failed to come up in the House this morning, because of unanimous consent being objected to by Congressman Strait of Minnesota, The matter was referred to the Pactfic Railroad Committee, and it is difficult to say what wiil be the action there.

The organizers of the Uhrig’s Cave meeting on Saturday night intended to offer resoliu- tions for the reorganization of the Dem- ocratic party in this city. It was proposed that the new Central Committee should select four additional representatives in each ward, making 140 delegates in all to constitute the nominating convention.

The Sheridan and Four Hawks mines are good mines. I should say it would take $20,000 to develop the Sheridan. It will take be- tween $20,000 -and $25,000 to develop the Four Hawks. I think the development of the Four Hawks toa point where it would pro- duce thirty tonsa day regularly would take about six monthstime.

From the New York WORLD. Not long since at a dinner given in New York, Gen. Sheridan related an incident that befell him while calling on the young lady who is the present Mrs. Sheridan During the war Gen. Sheridan was too much occupied defending his country to fall in love. When the malady finally overtook him in Chi- cago, after the war, Sheridan had passed what is generally called the ro- mantic stage and was settling down intoa well-seasoned old bachelorhood. Old bachelors make the most enthusiastic of lovers, and the General admitted that he was no exception to the rule. “It was a warm summer evening,” Sheridan began, “and upon my ar- rival at the house the young lady and myself retired to the back par- lor. The front parlor opened into the hall, and as the night was warm, you know, we did not think it necessary to light the gas in the back room. Now, this oung lady’s father had a great fear of ymurglars. He had burglar-alarms all over the house, and had recently put a new alarm on the front door. Neither the young lady nor myself knew anything about the alarm on the front door. After a time the old gentleman came down stairs, set his alarm on the door and, seeing the dim light in the front parlor, supposed that I had gone and turned out the light in the hall. We were busily engaged in talking, you know, and somehow did not hear him. Finally, when I got up to leave the oung lady accompanied me to the door. We were surprised to find the light turned out and in fumbling around for the door- knob I set off the burglar-alarm. It seemed to me that [never knew a burglar- alarm to work so well before. It sounded like the explosion of a i. of dynamite. A moment later the father of the young lady appeared at the head of the stairs in his night-dress, hold- ing a light in one hand and a large pistol in the other. At this apparition the young lady deserted me and fied into the darkness. My position was positively dangerous. I suppose I had been in dangerous _— before without thinking of it, but I confess for the moment trembled all over withfear and scarcely mustered up voice enough to say, ‘Don’t shoot; it’s me.’ Fortunately he recog- nized my voice and came down and let me out. ‘*‘Now, you know, gentlemen,” he con- cluded, “if the young lady had stood by me there would have been no danger, but she didn’t, you know, and my position was rather awkward before 1 was re- cognized. One might die on the field of battle without regret, but I should hate to be shot as a midnight marauder. 1 onl tell the story because it actually too lace as I have said, and to show that here are times when we may all lose our courage.” Indestructible Roofs, From the American Architect, Fire and water speaks quite strongly in favor of the use of tiles for roof covering. instead of slate, which is in this country almost the only material employed for pitch roofs in cities or elsewhere in cases where shingles would be objectionable. Asthat excellent journal truly says, a slate roof under the action of fire; and particularly if water is thrown on it while hot, cracks and flies in all directions, opening crevices through which a strong draught is immediately set up, increasing the fury of the fiames in the building which the roof is supposed to protect. On this account even cedar shingles are preferred to slate for roofing by many experienced fire engineers, for the reason that, inflamable as they are, the shingles do not fly to pieces when a cinder falls on them, but char, and, until burned through, at least, serve to prevent fire inside the building from breaking out of the roof. Tiles, unlike slate, never crack or fly, but keep in their place even when red hot; and their thickness and non- conducting property enables them to keep the heat from cinders or burning brands for an indefinite time from affecting the boarding beneath them. The main ob- ections to the use of tiles in this country ave hitherto been their cost, and the difficulty of laying them 80 as to keep out our ane, drifting snows, but wi a little effort, cular if architects and insurance ma could act in concert in the . both de- fects might be overcome, A considerable demand would tiles here as s00R cheap as they are in or France or Germany, whe are the universal roof areas eae laid with them might not only impervious to snow, but , the shaking of winds or ing them in mortar wi cep | not be an 6x- ve and lle a siate wh : , tiles in ce- , 205 N, {5th g BROADWAY —_— —— _—- —_—— | in France and Germany, laid in this wa which architects well understand.

Jim Hart’s Ideas on the Effect of the New Rules. s Jim Hart, the manager who brought the Louisville team to California, writes as fol- lows concerning the new rules from San Fran- cisco: ‘‘We played last Sunday at Alameda under the new rules, and the roasting that they got from the spectators and the city papers was enough to condemn them forever. I can’t see how they are going to improve the ame, asthere has certainly heretofore been nterest inthe work of the pitchers. Under these rules the pitcher is the least important player onthe team. Infact, any person who can take the position required and throw a ball fifty feet can be a first-class pitcher nnder the new code. The rules might just as well be two strikes and three bails, as ali prior to those are wasted. Foutz and Morris simply tossed the ball up where the batters could not help but hit it—as ball players say, — laid it on the bat. If the ball happens to be hit at a fielder, it is an out or an error; if it happens to go away from a fielder it’s a hit. so the whole thing simmers down toa matter of luck. Ifthese rules last there will be no further use for high-priced pitchers. My opinion is thatthe spectators will not like the rules, and thatthe games will lack inter- estandthe patronage drop off. I failed to hear one person speak well of the rules after Sunday’s game. The California League and the California State League say that they will not play underthe rules. There may be merit in them that I failed to diseover, but I certainly have not discovered any yet. It will not be necessary to carry four or five pitchers, as one man can do all the pitching. Foutz says that he can pitch two games a day every day in the week under the new rules, as he does not have tu exert himself, simply toss the ball up and let the batter whack it; but the poor fielders, what atimethey will have, and the third baseman, poor fellow, he will need ‘*chest protectors’’ on his whole body. In- stead of improving base-running they ruin it, as any body can take a base, as the pitcher cannot throw aman out, and it will seldom require a slide atsecond. I have to be guarded in my talk, else somebody will see some plot and proceed to write me up, so I will repeat that I am simply giving my opinion of the chances as they struck ine.’’ - — GOOD-BYE, WILLIAMSON.

Mack of the St. Louis Browns, says that the only one who has tried to coax the Louisville players away from the Falls City, is Chris Von der Ane.—(/ Pittsburg Dispatch. This item is slightly mixed to put it at its eat. An exchange says that ‘‘Mike’’ Kellyisa wonderful base-runner because he once made an audacious, but futile, attempt to tie the score by running in from third base while the ball was being pitched to the catcher, who was standing close upto the plate. The En- quirer fails to see where the wonderful part ofthis feat comesin. Any kindof an ‘*‘ice- wagon’’ runner could make the ‘‘audacious attempt’’ and notget away with it. When it comes downto base-running, Latham’s the boy forthe money. Heonno less than four different occasions last season made the ‘‘au- dacious attempt’’ under the conditions above described, and, whatis the best partof it, he succeeded in scoring everytime.

He was taken to the Colemau House, locked up in charge of Dep- uty Sheriff Crawford, and next morning was bailed out in $5,000, given in equal shares by Dr. Norvin Green, [Presi- dent of the Western Union Tele- graph Company, and J. H. Rogers, pro- prietor of the Colman House.. Mean- while the Etruria sailed on time. The storm being thick she putinto Gravesend Bay, and lay there until yesterday morning. While there Mr. English boarded her by means Of atug, and is now far out at sea. The tug which took Mr. English down the bay and put him aboard was commanded by Capt. Fritz. ‘Saturday night, as the tug was passing through Gravesend Bay on her way tothe city, Capt. Fritz was hailed by some one on the steamer and ran alongside. A lady spoke to him and said that she would make it worth his while if he would carry a letter to a friend in New York. The Captain consented and he was HANDED A LETTER addressed to Will E. English, Coleman House, New York. Fritz promised to deliver the let- ter and started his vessel homeward. As soon as he got his vessel to her pier, he went directly to the Coleman House and inquired for Mr. English. Capt. Fritz had been warned to deliver the letter in person, but Mr. English declined to see him, so Capt. Fritz finally sent the letter to him. Immediately afterwards Capt. Fritz was sent for by Mr. English, and they hada long interview. What took place between them is not known, but Capt. Fritz soon left. A few minutes after Jack McAuliffe writes from Boston: ‘ Darcie is thought a great deal of here, and from all accounts I am going to get it bot this time.

The coachman had by this time taken a trunk down from the coach-box and put it aboard the tug which lay at the endo: the pier. Upon the end of the trunk could be seen this: W. E. E. Shortly afterwards Capt. Fritz arrived and the tug pulled away from the pier and started down the river. he mysterious passenger was Mr. English, who, in less than two bours afterwards, was aboard the Etruria. Capt. Fritz could not be found lust night,buta deck hand on his tug acknowledged to the Post- DISPATCH reporter that they had put a gentle- man on board the Etruria, but refused to say anything further, having evidently been com- manded to keep quiet. Clerk Wyman of the Coleman House said, at 8:30 yesterday afternoon, that Mr. English was then on the Atlantic, safe On board the Etru- B. Hill and John Snedecor of Ridgway, Galla- : tin apparent that he knew more about the matter than he was willing to tell. “If, as you say,’’ he said ‘‘the Etruria aid not put out to sea and was detained, I think Mr. English boarded her, but I don’t know that he did.’’ ‘*You are one of hisbondsmen. Did not Mr. English tell you of his intentions to reach the steamer?’’ ‘*‘No. Butif he did go I should not be sur- prised. I went his bailin part. I don’t worry aboutit. Heis certainly good for the amount and l’ll trusthim. Then, again, he has not necessarily forfeited his bail. I understand that he had twenty days in which to file an answer tothe complaint and he can do that justas well by making his affidavit on the other side before an English attorney and mailing it here in time.’’ AFRAID TO FACE THE MUSIC. Lawyer Hummell who is Mrs. Case’s coun- sel, wasspokento. He said English had left the country. ‘*He is evidently afraid to face the music,’’ he said. ‘‘I have a very strong case against him and I don’t wonder that he wanted to get away. Mrs. Case has been much wronged. Sheis ofa very good family inthe West. The report that she offered to keep quiet for $1,000is untrue. She has, itis true, been supported lately by Mr. English, but the last $100 she got from him on Thursday, she gave back to him. She said she heard Friday morning that Mr. English was'to sail for Eu- rope, although he had positively told her that be was not goingto. She saw how she would thus be left aloneand without suppo1t, and Friday served the warrant. Why, English has used every means to deceive the woman. I have at my office copies of anonymous tele- grams sent by him from Washington intended to put her off the scent. Although Mr. English has gone, he has not necessarily forfeited his bail. He has twenty days in which to answer the complaint. There is nothing in the woria to prevent his going to Europe if he wants to.’’ There were some who expressed the opinion last night that the trouble between Mr. En- glish and the widow had been settled, and offered that as a reason for his sudden depart- ure. Lawyer Hummell denied that such was the case, adding that no overtures had been of- fered by either party looking to a settlemént.

There is a strong sentimentagainst the hanging of awoman under any circumstances, and this senti- ment expressed itself in a wide-spread but. prevent The . - ee eee ae ee second dep rture was in having the execution on Monday instead of Friday. Perhaps it is unfair to call it a supersti- tious observance to select Friday for an ex- ecution, but itis certainly to be wished that our judges could show that there was no superstition in it by departing from the/ custom. THERE is grave uncertainty with respect to the exact bearing which the resolution adopted by Oswego Post G. A. R. of Os- wego, Kan;, and presented by Senator PLUMB to the Senate Saturday, has on the veto of the dependent pension bill. The reading adopted by Republican news- a, papers and evidently by Senator PLtuMB is, ‘‘Resolved, to GROVER ‘‘CLEVELAND: We will cast our votes ‘Sin’ November, 1888.’’ This appears to be a dark and malignant threat, but isn’t it just possible that Senator PLUMB and the Republican newspapers have blundered and that the correct read- ing is, ‘‘Resolved: To GROVER CLEVE- LAND we will cast our yotes in November, 1888.” A punctuation mark is a danger- ous thing to fool with particularly in the hands of a Kansas veteran,and either the latter reading is correct or the English language is a strange tongue on the West- ern border. —————— — — ee THE National Banks say they cannot afford to issue their notes when they have to pay $1,280 for a $1,000 bond and are al- lowed to issue only $900 of notes on that bond. Corporations generally regard it as hard usage when they are not permit- ted to draw interest and dividends on water equal in amounttotheir capital actually invested. But the National Banks are so public spirited and patriotic that they still stick to the business even when they are permitted. to draw interest on only $1,900 for every $1,280 of their money in- vested in bonds, and their eagerness to do this is the chief reason why the 4 per cent bonds command a premium of 28 per cent. If the business of issuing notes on bonds were less tempting than it is, they would reduce their issues to the lowest amount required by law, and the country would not miss the amount withdrawn from circulation. We are adding largely to our stock of gold and silver every year, and coin certificates issued without cost to the nation are better than bank notes. ee It is said that the President is trying to make the Railroad Commission a combi- nation representing different views on the subject of railroad regulation. It 1s cer- tainly proper that all the interests af- fected by the execution of the Interstate Commerce law should be fairly considered and conscientiously guarded in the make- up of the Commission that is to put the law in operation. But sucha make-up does not require that the enemies of the law shall be permitted to name some of the Commisssoners. The enforce- ment of that or any other law should be entrusted wholly and only to the hands of its friends—to those who have faith in the justice of its provisions, and sympathy with the purposes for which it was en- acted. Those who fought against it to the last, who sought to emasculate it with amendments at every stage of its progress through Congress, will now do what they can to hamper it with a Commission unfriendly to its operation and eager to nullify its provisions. in practice. Railroad at- torneys who are the law partners or po- litical strikers of Democratic Senators who opposed this law from the beginning and are avowedly opposed to all laws for the regulation of railroads, are no more to be trusted with the execution of this law than are wolves to be trusted with the care of sheep. Col. Greene on Life Insurance. Far surpassing the ordinary interest of such documents our readers will find the report made by the President of the Connecticut Mu- tual Life Company. We have rarely read a more clear, strong, logical statement of the true methods and interest of life.insurance. Though probably not intended so by Col. Greene, itis arebuke tothe spirit animating many other companies. After making a re- markably strong exhibit of the finances of the company, he presents compactly the princi- ples and methods, guiding its management. The great fall in the rates of interest has made it important to exercise the strictest economy in management. This is the policy pursued instead of rapidly swelling the nominal value of business at any expense. The ambition to obtain new business is made subservient tothe question of keeping down the cost of transact- ing business. So successful has been the Con- necticut Mutual in this that its rates of ex- penses to receipts is from 2 to 8 per cent less than that of any othercompany. The volume of assets has been increased during the last year, and it now reaches nearly $56 , 000, 000, and the actual surplus is more than $5 ,000 ,000. It is a question not only of nominal prosperity based on a swelling report, but of solid and compact strength. This company is a patent example of sound and conservative insurance principles faithfully carried out. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcna. New YORK, February 28.—The Worip says: **No bills can hereafter be considered except under a suspension of the rules and the Speaker has announced that he will recognize no one for such a motion until the regular ap- propriation bills areout ofthe way. Alter these are passed, if they shall be, the discre. tion will still rest with the Speaker as to who shall getthe floor. And itis quite safe to say that no promoter of jobs or engineer of more surplus squandering schemes will secure the Opportunity from Speaker Carlisie to get his bill before the House. The Speaker has wit- tily deciared the most exigent measure for the national defense to be one ‘providing fortifications around the treasury.’ His own clear-headedness and firmness during the next four days can effectually protect the Treasury from its would be looters.’’ !

As boycotting is a game that twocan lay at Congress, which is busy with its non- ntercourse law, can hardly find fault with this move of the statesmen that own St. Johns. In reality, however, this ~ bill, which is chiefly the renewal of one passed at the last session of the Assembly, is aimed more at the French fisher- men than at ours.. France gives a large bounty which has enabled them to increase their sales of codfish in Northern Italy from 20,000 quintals in 1884 to 100,000 in 1885, and in Spain from 250,000 quintals in 1885 to 500,000 in 1886.

Bring Out Your Authorities. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The method of dating from the birth of Christ was not introduced until about the middle of the sixth century. It was not until the six- teenth century, after arbitrary changes ip time and dates, that the Gregorian calendar was adopted. The Gregorian calendar is used in all Christian countries, except Russia. With the Christian era conventionally fixed the pre- sumption is that writers of eminence are con- sistent onthe ‘‘century question.’’ I offer the following authorities in evidence thatthe twentieth century begins with the year 1900. Guizot’s ‘‘History of Civilization,’’ volume 8, page 233—‘* Death of St. Martin, Archbishop of Tours, 11 November, 400 A. D.’’ is arranged in chronological table under the fifth century as, also, are two otherevents in the year 400 insametable. The same book, page 317, un- der the head of tenthcentury, fis ‘‘This coun- cil (Reims) excommunicated the murderers of the Archbishop Foulques, in the year 900.’’ The American Cyclopzdia (1873 edition) vol. 3, page 579, ‘‘Pope Gregory X1ll ordered Oct. 5, 1582, to be called the 15th. and that all centuri- al years which are not multiples of 400 should not be made leap years; thus 1600 wasa ivap year, and 2000 will De the next that falisona ceatenary year.’’ Ishalil not pressthe advocates of the year 1901 on the subject of the difference of one year between them andthe author of our present calendar. Canthey show written authority, equally as good as Guizot, for putting the year 4) in the fourth century and year 90in the ninth century? Or for beginning the fifth cen- tury with the year 401;the tenth century with the year 1901, and so on? Ifthey can let them bring them eut. Other authorities on the side of year 1900 can be furnished, if needed. St. Louis, February 23, I8s7. Ww. — Starting at the Beginning. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatcna: Some of our correspondents relative to the twentieth century problem would have us be- lieve that Christ was lyear old when born. The Christian era certainly commenced at 0 and was not a year old until the expiration of twelve months from that time, each month being uiraction of the first year. The first century, then, commenced with 0 and was not a century untilthe expiration of 100 years from the commencement of said era, each year being a fraction of the first century. We will now carry you to December 31, year 99, which is exactly 99 years from the commencement of the Chris- tianera. The foliowing January, 100, would be the first month of the first century, but the completion of the first century would not be reached until December 31, 100. We call this the ninteenth century. That is right. reality is only afraction of the nineteenth century. Therefore, the completion of the nineteenth century will occur December 31, 1900. January 1, 1901, will bethe first day of the first month in the first year of the twen- tieth century, and will be properly termed the twentieth century. SAM J. COLMAN, Mineral Point, February 26, 1887. ee But in Beginning With Zero. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Itis amusing tonotice the amount of at- tention thatis attracted by the most simple questions, for instance the question, ‘‘When does the twentieth century begin?’’ Why the question answersitselfinthe question. Begin- ning with ‘‘0,’’ the first century ends in 100 years, and not in 101 years, as some of your readers and correspondents imagine, and 100 years end with December 31, l2 o'clock midnight in the year hn ate and the next instant, January 1, year 100, the second century is wending its way. Conse- quently the nineteenth century will pass away December 81, midnight, in the year 1899, and the next instant the twentieth century has commenced its weary pilgrimage, January l, year 1900. ‘*‘W.P.’’ has the correct idea.

DR. BROOKES’ IDEA OF SUNDAY LAWS STIRS UP THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. No Laws Rather Than Dead Letters—A Poor Opinion of the City’s Christian Energy— Dr. Niccolls Satisfied with a Half Loaf— Vain Attempt to Make the Sessions Secret —Districting the City—Funeral Reform— The Public Chaplain—To-Day’s Meeting. President ©. E. Felton and Secretary L. W. Allen, the new officers, were in their places at the opening of the Evangelical Al- liance this morning. The attendance was small ‘until the session was half over when enough additions had straggied into make the gathering more re- spectable in point of numbers. The de- votional exercises were led by Rev. John B. Brandt of the Memorial Tabernacle Presby- terian Church, As unfinished business Dr. J. H. Brookes’ long-delayed paper on the Sunday question was called up, the President explaining that the paper had been read onceand dealing with certain State laws and overlooking Munici- pal regulations, had been referred back to Dr. Brookes to be putin harmony with these reg- ulations. Dr. Brookes said he didn’t under- -‘standthat way, as he had not heard of any city regulations that werein antagonism to the State laws. Though complaining of a severe cold and hoarseness, he proceeded to read his ‘‘read- justea’’ paper, which was a scriptural defense of the divine ordination of the Sabbath: He quoted many and familiar Biblical injunctions to show that the Divine law against murder and stealing has no more authority than the estab- lishment. Speaking of the direful results that will come in the future from the widespread violation of Divine commands, Dr. Brookes said: ‘‘Itis the popularthing nowadays TO GO TO THE DEVIL, but hell will be no cooler because of the mul- titudes going there. [Laughter.] Sabbath- observing communities are far better in every respect than those which do not respect one day in seven. The speaker did not believe thatany infidel, un- less there was a total perversion of his moral sense, would wanthis wifeand children to live in «a town where there was no Sabbath, no Sunday-school, no Bible. Quotations were made from = judicial vpinions in favor of the Sunday law, ‘‘and thus,’’ said the speaker, ‘‘itis no won- derthaton Missouri’s statute books, there are efforts recorded to preserve -+the Sabbath. After stating that the amendment whose repeal is demanded by Christian people would be repealed within ten days, but ‘*should that be done,’’ continued the speak- er, ‘‘it requires no prophet to _. pre- dict that the law will be trampled on in. this city.’’ ‘*‘The Sunday law in St. Loulsisashbam,a humbug anda lie,’’ said Dr. Drookés, ‘‘and if these laws are shams and are not respected they ought to be repealed. A prohibition lawthat is not en- forced ought to be swept from the statute books. When we citizens cannot be induced to step downward to see that the laws are en- forced, it is best to have no such laws.’’ RAISING A RUMPUS. Dr. Niccolls did not agree with Dr. Brookes in his last statement. He did not believe that because there isan evil element in this big city that despises this law or any other law, thatthe law was not supported by the commonwealth of Missouri. He did not want the lawrepeaied because it was despised. He was sorry to see Dr. Brookes fall into a fallacy employed by the brewers and liquor dealers, who are always saying that the inability ot the law to prevent drinking on Sunday was a reason for the abolition of the law. Dr. Brookes explained that he did not mean that these laws should be abolished all over the State. He meant that the law, ifitis to be a sham in St. Louis, ought not to be passed for this city. He would rather see no law than a dead letter. Ifthe Christian people can be aroused to enforce the law, all welland good, but if not, he reiterated his opinion. Dr. Lewis was Opposed to Dr. Brookes’ con- clusions, and didn’t believe that because laws are made useless by technicalities that there should be no laws. He animadverted quite sharply upon some of the decisions made by Judge Noonan on the constitutionality of certain Jaws in the past two years. Dr. Boyd said that Dr. Brookes had been trying for some time to organize a movement for the better enforcement of certain laws and probably his want of success in that direction had made bim despair of the value ofall the Sunday laws. He believed that Dr. Brookes’ conclusion was simply za expession of his private opinion A LEGISLATIVE MEMORIAL. The drift of the discussion was as to wheth- er the Alliance would pass any opinion on the paper. Dr. Lewis asked the question flatly, but the resident said the debate had gone far enough,and on Dr. Brookes’ protesting that his expressions were only for himself the Alli- ance dropped the matter and did not goon record, away of escape being presented by the presentation of a resolution prepared by the Board of Counselors requesting the Alliance to appoint a comnmiittee to memorialize the Legislature for the repeal of the law of 1857 for three reasons: To secure good order for the benefit of workingmen, and for the prevention of crime. Dr. Niccolls in speaking to this resolution said again that there is no law disregarded in this city. Dr. Brookes: Isn’t there a law against play- ing cards or any game on Sunday; against open theaters aud base bali parks onthe Sab- bath? Are they enforced? Dr. Niccolls: On this point I want to say these laws are not disregarded. They have engaged the serious attention of some of our best men. Several times the attention of the Grand-jury have been called to them, but each time we have been forestailed by technicali- ties. Dr. Brooks: lam glad to hear it is so. So far as I had been able tosee | thought these laws had been violated without any special protest. The resolution passed and Revs. Brookes, Greene, Lewis, Tully, Black and Rhodes and Holtkamp were appointed the committee. ANOTHER RESOLUTION presented by the board in fuvor of districting the city to ascertain the epiritual destitution of certain portions was brought up. It had been prepared by Dr. Niccolls,’ and he and i ODr. Loyd spoke in favor of it. The resolution was passed unan- imously. It calls for the appointment of a committee, which will be announced next month, and asks all churches to co-operate. In fact, Dr. Niccolls said they expected to secure the co-operation of the Episcopalian ig er . Dr. Boya’s paper on the ‘‘Changin Time of the Week of Prayer,’’ waa the go oe of the day, but at his request ‘‘Reform in Funerals’’ was made the subject for next month, and his paper was indefinitely post- poned. NO STAR CHAMBER. The stock of the board’s resolutions had not yet run out andthe last one now came up. It provided that the meetings of the Alliance should be executive and that. the ress be excluded. Drs. Hollifield and oyd made ringing speeches against it, the former pleading for the openest kind of meet- ings, both in the liiance and in the separate Monday xatherings. ‘*‘No star chamber in ours,’’ the expression of one of the speakers was evidently th - timent of the Alliance, for on a vote Only one or two weak ayes were heard, while a thun- — of ete : call of the denominations’ re funds for the city chaplain was so enscutens ing in the responses that the committee were instructed to go ahead, engage Rev. T. H. Hagerty and have him begin work this month. DR. LEWIS’ JOKE. The Board of Counselors reported that they had elected Dr. Niccolls chairman and Rey. W. H. Black secretary.for the ensuing year. Dr. Lewis here arose and said he wanted Dr. Brookes’ paper printed in the chureh papers; he thought it would do good. ‘‘Thatis,’’ he added, drily, ‘‘all except the last part, which 1 know Dr. Brookes can fix up and make read allright.’’ (Loud Laughter. Dr. Brookes said he feit the paper oughtn’t to be so printed, ‘‘since a portion had kicked up such arumpus.’’ But while he was speak- ing the motion put and carried. Kevs. W. G.

New Day Home for Children Now Ready for Its Occupants. A score of carriages this morning stood about the side entrance of the Home of the Im- macuiate Conception, at Eighth and Ma- rion streets, over the gate of which was inscribed: ‘‘Oreche, Day Home for Children Under 6 Years.’’ The occasion of the gathering was the ceremony of blessing the rooma, cribs and furniture of the new apartments to their charitable use by the clergymen of the Catholic Church. Thé Creche and Home attached in which a number of be- nevolent ladies of all religious beliefs are interesting themselves, is under the supervi- sion of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who kindly give the rooms for the purpose and lend their own services in their partial management. The ceremony of blessing was very simple. The Rev. Father J. J. Hennessey officiated, supported by Fathers Zeigier, Powers and Meyer. Vicar-General brady, who had ex- pected to be present, sent word that a busi- ness matter necessitated his absence. The clergymen carrying candles and followed a J the ladies in attendance, anumber of whom also carried lights, passed through the rooms. The various articles were sprinkled with holy water, and over them were pronounced the — words of biessing from the Catholic rit- ual. The rooms were crowded with the visitors, among whom were the following ladies: Mrs. J. L. Morrison and Miss Morrison, Miss Lizzie Eustice, Miss Mafiittand Miss Nancy Maffitt, Mesdames William Withnell, Jobn The Mauntell, J- D. Lucas, C. P. Wise, F. A. Drew, Dr. Boisliniere, J. D.

Krone, and Misses Louise Boisliniere, Mary Reyburn,* Eugerie Chouteau, Isabelle Chouteau, Claire and Eugenia Berthold, Mary Chessaing, Sey Boyse, Tiernan, Krone, Mamie and Maggie Mullally and Aggie Martin. A gratifying endorsement of the ladies’ work was received inthe callof a German woman this morning who had two little child- ren whom she wished to leave atthe Creche to-day asshesaid she could get steady em- ploymentif the children could be cared for. As the Creche willnot beopen for the little ones betore to-morrow another place had to be found for them until that time. The delighted mother § atiter viewing the rooms ieft promising to bring the children again in the morning. The installment makes a contingent of six with which the nursery begins business to-morrow. Two new cribs were donated to-day andthe home has now accomodation for fully thirty babies. The lady managers of the enterprise desire especially to have it understood that the Sisters of St. Joseph arein full charge of the Creche and will be assisted in every possi- ble way by the ladies interested.

MERCHANTS’ TERMINAL ROAD BILL UNDER CONSIDERATION IN THE COUNCIL Every Indication Given that the Franchise Asked for Will Be Granted—The New Era in the Commercial History of the City—A Proposition to Extend the Route Into the Union Depot at Once—Favorable Views of the Municipal Legislaters. This morning the Committee on Railroads of the Council met to consider Council bill No. 148 authorizing the construction, main- tainance and operation of a railway over cer- tain streets for the purpose of furnishing ter- minal facilities for the St. Louis Merchants’ bridge. The section of the bill describing the route is as follows: ‘*The railway herein provided for shall con- sist of a single or double track line, which shall begin at the south line of Plum street, at its intersection with Main or First street, and running thence along said Main or First street to Salisbury street; thence in a north- erly direction across city block 2,351 to said Main or First street, north of said city block 2,351; thence north along said Main or First street to Grand avenue,thence north along Mc- Kissock avenue to O’Fallon avenue, thence across block 3,417 in a northwesterly direction to Bulwer avenue, thence north on Bulwer avenue to Bircher street, thence over, across and along intervening streets, alleys and public highways in an eastern and northern direction to any point on the Mississippi river south of the Chain of Rocks. The line of said railway shall also begin at or near a point on Bulwer avenue where said line crosses Bircher street, and running tnence over and along Bircher street to or near its intersection with Florissant avenue, thence in a western and northerly direction over, across and along the intervening streets, alleys and public high- ways to or near the point where the Natural Bridge road crosses the western city limits.’’ A GOOD GATHERING. When Chairman Temple called the Com- mittee to order, Messrs. C. C. Kainwater, John D. Perry, John H. Overall, Seth W. Cobb, John Holmes and Jas. M. Carpenter were presens in favor of the bill. Councilman Stone arose and said that his experience in Congress and the Municipal Assembly had made him familiar with railroad questions and an enthusiastic advocate of ter- minal facilities, without which the grass would soon grow in the streets of St. Louis, but he asked that the granters present should remove all objection to the bill. Hethen read the vetoes of Mayor Fran- cis on the Clark avence switch and the Iron Mountain Railroad elevated structure. He stated that he would favor the bill if similar objections were met, so as to give property- holders and the city the proper securities against any damages sustained. Mr. Cobb then said: ‘*We have presented a bill asking for terminal facilities. We have been guarded alone by the commercial inter- ests of the city. We appear to answer such objections as the committee or citizens may oresent. There are no citizens present to ob- ect and we will be pleased to answer any objections made by the committee.’’ Mr. C. C. Rainwater followed Mr. Cobb. He said the gentlemen interested in this bill would not ask anything that was not benefi- cial to the city. The merchants of St. Louis had become convinced that it was-necessary to have a new bridge over the Mississippi river to relieve the commerce of the city from the burden now placed upon it by ex- cessive tariffs. A national franchise had been obtained to build a bridge within three years, could be built unless but this not the citv granted the necessary’ ter- minal facilities. There is aiso a necés- sity for immediate action, as certain railroad lines now built, and other projected lines are now seeking admission to the city. Among these is a trunk line of great importance tothe welfare of the city. If these roads are not giventheright withinthe near future they will close contracts with other bridges above this city. The strong puint presented by the speaker was the invitation extended to other railroads to use the proposed bridge and tracks. COUNCILMAN STONE was of the opinion that the section pertaining to switches could not de passed without desig- nating the awitches. Other bills worded simi- larly were shown as having been posses by the present assembly. Mr. Stone then ques- tioned the practicability of several companies using the one ‘track. Mr. Rainwater main- tained that it was practicable and thatthe bill had been drawn up to meet this objection. Mr. Stone then asked if the coinpany would haul a ten-ton car for the same sum asa twenty-toncar. He regarded the section as ambiguous. Mr. Rainwater ar- gued thatit was not ambiguous, but that the maximum switching charge was fixed at $i. At Mr. Devoy’s suggestion, other roads using the tracks might charge more than $1 unless this maximum was fixed for ali compa- It was conceded that this wasa wise suggestion asit would prevent any over charges by other companies. Mr. Stone asked why the St. Louis Merchants’ Bridge Company did not ask for the franchise corporately instead of individually. Mr. Rainwater replied that under the State law arailroad company might construct a bridge, buta bridge company could not con- struct a railroad, but he assured the commit- tee thatthe incorporators were the same in each instance and that the companies wouid be one in the furnishing of facilities. In reply to a question by Mr. Stone relative to the reimbursing of the property holdeis, who haye just paic for the granite reconstruction on Main street Mr. Rainwater said that the increase of valuations would reimburse the roperty owners. The Main street propert $s not worth one-fifth the — now that ft was twentv-five years ago, and it was believed by some of the largest owners on the street that the construction of the proposed track would enhance the values. r. Stone urged that the bond of $50,000 to hold the city harm- less might be exhausted. MR. RAINWATER said the property of the company could then be suedon. Mr. Stone asked if the gentlemen appearing in favor of the bill theught that this bill would meet the objections urged by Mayor Francis against the vetoed measures. The gentlemen thought it did, asthe doctrine an- nounced by the Mayor was that the streets could not be dedicated to private uses. This was a measure for the use and benefit ofall! persons. Mr. Jobn D. Perry then aaid that he intended to go to New Yorkin a few days, and hopes to be able to carry with him assurances that terminal facilities would be granted and by this means to secure the active co-operation of the parties interested in the proposed rail- roads. He stated that when he was tendered the presidency of the Central Missouri road the first reason given for declining the position was his advanced years, and secondly that the enterprise had no interest for St. Louis. The promoters stated their willingness to enter this city if an entrance could be effected. Mr. Perry hoped to beable to give them this assurance. ie regarded the brid e and terminal projects as steps that wouid be greatly to the benefit of the city, as they would redeem the northern por- tion of the‘city which has almost become a waste and would restore business to its nat- ural center along Main and Second streets. No objections were presented and the commit- tee adjourned. The bill will be altered in some particulars, but from resent indications there seems to be no doubt that this measure or one substantially the same will be passed by a large majority if not by a unanimous vote in the Council. It has even been suggested to give the right into the Union Depot at once. he committee adjourned subject to cail. CAMDEN’S SUCCESSOR, Gov. Wilson Appoints D. B. Lucas United States Senator.

Behind us is the daily growing record of great things done atan ab- solute minimum of expense. Our resources for our present obligations are more than abundant, and ef jthe strongest character. our ability to undertake new insurances is from the stronger basis on which we rest such un- dertakings, greater ana more certain than that of any other company.

MORTALITY. he mortality loss in le86 was more favora- blethan that in 18385 by $229,641, and was over $0,000 less than was to be expected by our mortality table, a saving of morethan One- Sixth. The payment of death losses is the business of alife insurance company. They are the inain item in the cost of itsinsurance. What- everaffects the mertality directly affects the cost of insurance to a company’s members. In view of many deceptive statements now being made to the public, it oughtto be known thatthe question of a favorable mortality is not one ofa small amount of loss, nor of a sinall ratio of loss to the business in force, nor toreceipts, nor to new business. These all vary with circumstances which do not touch the question. Itis a question of the propor- tion between the losses to be expected by the table of mortality used by a company in its calculations and the mortality actually ex- perienced. This company continues to seek business only in the healthy parts of our own country, where the conditions are well Known, where selection of lives can be most intelligently made, where business can be most effectively supervised, and can be done at a minimum of expense. The advantage of such a course to our mem- bers is nanifeStin the low mortality as com- pared with thatexpected. The average age of our policies is perhaps greaterthan in any other company; butits mortality is as far be- low the table, and its savings as great, at least, as those of any company proportion- ately. Experience proves, what would be theoretically probable, that the most profit- able business is that most carefully selected, 4n¢dwhich ig the most persistent. We spare no pains im respect of selection; and our lapses are a much smaller percentage than those of any other important company. Moreover, the risk taken on any one life is limited to $25,000, which sum fairly marks the Foiden mean which, onthe one hand, allows men to make with usa large partif not the whole of a sufficient provision for their fam- ilies, and, on the other hand, is not so great as to create an undue moral hazard by exciting a desperate speculation, leading to an excessive mortality among the large risks, and so unduly increasing the money loss and the cost of in- surance. EXPENSES. : The second main item inthe cost of insur- ance is that of expense; and this is more di- rectly controllable than the mortality. It is of the greater relative importance at thig time, because in the last ten years the cost of Insurance to the -members of all companies that make any dividends to their members has been very materially increased. The great fallin the rate of interest has cut down their earnings from interest and left so much the less to divide. Their members have either had to pay so much the greater part of their premiums in cash, or have received 8® much the less additions to their polietee than they would have done had he interest rate been maintained. The Cost of insurance to the premium-payers in all companies now, as Compared with that so a One years ago, is fully 10 per cent greater. Forexample: On a life policy issued at age SU, for $10,000, and which bas run fifteen years, # company weuld be required to hold areserve of about $1,764. It must earn 4 per cent in- terest on that to keep that account soivent; Whatitearns over 4 per cent is surplus, and nay be returned to the policy-holder. If the SColbpany can earn 6 per cent on ali its funds, itwould earn 2 per cent surplus on this re- serve, or $35.28; but if the rate of interest diops so it can earn only 5 per cent, then it Wilearn but 1 per cent surplus, or $17.64, and the policy-holder will have so much less to bey his premium with or to buy additions to his poliey. » in view of the fall in interest which has aken place and the consequent increase in post to policy-holders, it would have seemed Gt natural that managers should have made Strious effort to offset this increase by a re- uction in expenses. Such has not been the Case. On the contrary, this period has been chosen for unprecedented competition for ew business at an increase of commissions to agents, and by giving them additional com- Missions to ‘‘throw off’’ to new insurers, all Which haye to come out of the members, aod pncrease the cost of insurance to all, even to ic hew members who come in for the sake of be rebate. Fortunately, your company has so large a ‘Usiness already on its books, of so ad. mirable & quality and stable ai char- va Gr, that it can well afford to forego by increase of its risks for many years rather than increase them by increasing cap onses and the cost of your insurance, and a Wait for the certain results of prudence mr calm judgment to justify its position and cof = the favor ot the sober-minded and care- cna ayers of sound and reuily cheap insur- ee expenses for 1886 were only 9.2 per cent a 4© Income, which js seven-tenths of 1 per erry than in 1855, materially lower, itis sy \y ed, than in any other company, and : ‘sing irom 1.2 per cent toover 7.2 per cent Me arsed its most prominent rivals.

The rate of interest earned in 1886 was some- thing less than that for 188, as was to be ex- pected from the general rates for money throughout the year, But they were satisfac- considerable margin for surplus. A + tae incident in the long-continuéd decline in interest and the growing difficulties in the way of profitable and safe investment of money, isthe recent sale of $1,577,000 3% percent Missouri State bonds atarate which will net the holder 2.9 per cent. It affords us profound satisfaction that so long ago as April, 1882, we based all calculations for new business on the assumption of earning 8 per cent interest, instead of 4 per cent, which still remains the basis of all other com- panies. RENTS OF REAI. ESTATE during 1886 have declined in gross amount, owing to the sale of some large rent- producing properties; but the company is therebv freed ofa considerable expense, and the interest account will be correspondingly improved. PROFIT AND LOSS. During the year 1886 we have sold seventeen pieces of real estate ata not profit of $141,- 002.82, and four pieces for $10,555.80 less than cost; balance profit on real estate sales $130, - 447.02. It received by exchange of securities a profit of $20,608.75, and lost by exchange, etc., $3,767.85; balance profit on exchanges, etc., $16,885.90; total balance profit and loss, $147,- REAL ESTATE SALES. During the year 1586 the company has sold for $1,014,145 real estate whieh cost it $883,- ai and which was appraised in 1879 at $357, - This brings the total sales of real estate up to Jannary | to a grand total of $5,866, 186.74 for property which cost us $5,152,545.70, and which on the basis of the approval made in 1879 would have brought only $4,495, 152.19. A profit of $713,641.04 and a gain over the appraisal of $1,871,034.55 make a_ agrati- fying result so far, and furnish sufficient ground for belief, so often ex- Pressed, that our real estate, asa whole, will prove to be no disadvantage to the company or its members. ;‘ BONDS. The company has solid during the year bonds which cost it $311,700, and has purchased others ata cost of $857,748.75, increasing its net hold- ing $546,048.75. We now hold bonds amounting to $9,428,200 par value, which cost us $9,850,199; their present market value is at least $10,354,266. Should all these bonds be held to maturity we should lose $421,999 of their cost and $926, 066 of their present market value. They are all bonds of excellent quality and having been issued when high rates of interest prevailed they now beara high premium. Many of them have along timeto runand will hold nearly their present price forsome years if interest rates do not materially advance. It is the pur- pose ofthe directors to change these securi- ties 80 as to capitalize as much as possible of the present premium on them, a course hith- erto pursued with good results. STOCALS. The amount of bank and railroad stocks held by this company has always been small. The principal transaction of the year was the purchase of $250,000 of Connecticut and Pas- sumpsic River and Massawippi Railroad stock, the par value and5 per cent dividends being guaranteed to the satisfaction of your di- rectors. REAL ESTATE LOANS. During the year loans have been paid amounting to $3,801, 054.58 and loans have been made amounting to $6,158,253.18, a net increase in the amount so invested of $2,357,198.55, and bringing the total to $29,445,320.17. No pains are spared to make these invest- ments the highest of their class. STANDING. The Connecticut standard of solvency—the highest Government standard in use—re- quires a computation of our re-insurance re- serve, according to the combined experience mortality table and theassumption of earn- ing 4percent interest throughout tne dura- tion of allexisting policies. By this standard our entire liabilities on January 1, 1887, were $50, 460, 250.54. But on all policies issued since April 1, 1882, our own Caiculations have been made on the assumption that we will earn only 3 per cent interest, believing that with the presént ten- dencies in the rate of interest, that is as high an assumption as it is safe to make relating to such important contracts, some of which will have fifty or sixty yearsto run. Our liability on our own higher standard is $183,137 greater than by the legal standard, and is therefore $50 ,643 ,387.54. Our gross assets, January 1, were $55,702,- 493.94. Our surplus by the legal standard was, therefore, $5,242,243.40; and our own bigher standard $5,059,106.40, an increase of $601,- 108 49 during the year. These facts and an inspection of our schedule of assets are conclusive as to the company’s great financial strength as well as its magni- tude. In closing this brief review, we wish to em- hasize the fact that all that {s sought or done — is to the single purpose of maintaining life insurance in its simplicity and purity, to make the payment of your policies secure be- yond peradventure, to make your insurance as cheap as possible by sound methods, pru- dence and economy, and to extend the ben- efits here given to others who seek protection for their families free from any hazard of spec- ulation for themselves. Our ambition for your company is, not the largest volume in- volving many and grave dangers, but the best results. Respectfully submitted, JACOB L. GREENE, President.

A Bookmaker ana Horseman Followed from Memphis and Robbed in His Berth This Morning—The Supposed Thieves Jump from the Train Near Carondelet, Leaving Their Tickets—A Mysterious Robbery. A very large diamond robbery was commit- ted this morning on the Memphis train of the Iron Mountain Road. The victim of it was Sigmar Cohen, a well-known bookmaker and racing-stable owner of Chicago. His horses have been wintering at Memphis, andthe other Gay he went down there to look after them. Cohen was formerly engaged in the diamond and jewelry business, and still dabbles con- siderably in jewels. Just before he left Chi- cago a man.whom he had given some diamonds to sell returned part of them to him, Not having time to go to the bank, he took the jewels to Memphis with him, carry- ing theta inacase in his inside vest pocket. From the time he left Chicago, he never had the jewels out of his pocket except once ina saloon in Memphis, when he took them out to show them to Col. Montgomery, President of the jockey club there. Mr. Cohen thinks that one of the men who robbed him was inthe saloon at the time and saw the diamonds. Last night the horse-owner left Memphis for Cni- cago, taking the Iron Mountain route to this city. When the train was pulling into the Union Depot this morning the porter of the sleeping- car came to his berth and aroused him, telling him they were already in St. Louis. Cohen asked if he had time to catch tlie Wabash train for Chicago, and was told that if he ‘dressed ‘hurriedly he could, as the train did not leave until after they reached the depot. He then proceeded to hurry on his clothes when he suddenly discovered that his case of diamonds were missing. CALLING THE PORTER to him Cohen told him he had been robbed of alotofdiamonds. The portersaid he guessed he was mistaken and advised him notto get excited, and they would probably tind the jewels. He then turned over the bed and made a search of the berth, but failed to discover the missing gems, and the most careful examina- tion of Cohen’s clotbing did not reveul their whereabouts. Near the foot of the bed were found the passenger’s scarf containing a vaiuable diamend stud and a roll of money amounting to $90. A pair of diamond initialed cuff buttons and gold chain anda gold locket set with a handsome diamond were also untouched by the thieves. The diamonds taken consisted ot four pairs of ladies’ earrings, six ladies’ lace pins and three ladies’ rings, one a solitare and the others two clusters. One pair of earrings alone were valued at $1,000) and the whole collection had cost Mr. Cohen something over $2,000 and he would not have sold them for less than another $1,000: When the robbery was discovered the porter remembered having seen a man sifting on Cohen’s berth earlier in the morning dressing himseifapparentiy, and supposed it was the man who occupied the berth. A young man who was a passenger on the train stated that he had seen two men who were passengers in the coach jump off at »# lumber yard some time before the train reached the depot. He did not know just where the lumber yard was, but it must be in Carondelet or in the southern part of the city somewhere. It was discovered thatthe two young men who occupied the berth just across from Cohen were missing. In their hurry they had even left their tickets, which were good to Detroit, Mich., by way of Chicago, in the hands of the conductor. COHEN HAS NO DOUBT about them being the parties who robbed him. They got on thetrain at the transfer boat instead of atthe depot in Memphis. In purchasing the tickets one man gave the name of H. M. Howard, that being the signa- ture on the ticket. ‘lhey are both men some- where between 25 and 32 years of age, about medium height, and wore piain dark clothes, one having a soft bat and the other a stiffone. One is of light complexion and the other dark and both wore mustaches. Mr. Cohen says he can identify them if he ever sees them again. The light complexioned man Cohen thinks was inthe saloon in Mem- his when he showed the diamonds to Col. Montgomery and peered closely at the stones, turning away his head when detected. One $20 bill was takenand Mr. Cohen cannot ac- count.for the remainder of his money being left, excepton the theory that this bill be- came separated from the rpmainder of his roll and that in their hurry to get at the jewels, the thieves jerked out the money with his tie and only saw this loose bill. Cohen leaves this evening for his home in Chicago, haying re- ported his losstothe police here this morn- ing, with a full description of the stolen dia- monds ang the supposed thieves. eS ape ASK for our new oatmeal and graham wafers.

When it came his turn to deal he looked over the pack of cards, but did not find a single ace, for the simple reason that there was none there. Then the pariah began to show some signs of excitement. So did the remainder ofthe party. After con- enone proving that the pariah had ab stracted the aces, the party resolved itself intoa Committee ofthe Whole. The pariah was called a ‘blackleg, scoundrel and a skin- gambler,’ then conducted to the front door from which he was kicked into the street. The Bayard-Jackson Correspondence, By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—As Sec- retary Bayard has practically refused to com- ply with the Senate resolution requesting the correspondence between himself and ex-Min- ister Jackson, bearing upon the latter’s resig- nation, itis a question whether the detailed circumstances will ever become known, unless given by Mr. Jackson himself. The inference is that Mr. Bayard is possibly afraid to have the matter go before the country, be- lieving, as the friends ot Jackson assert, that the correspondence wilishow that the Minister was very badly treated before and after the Cutting controversy. Such information as the President and Secretary have seen fit to furnish the Senate will be readin the Senate to-day. The friends of Mr. Jackson hope he will con- sent to give out the correspondence, as in their opinion this will be the only way in which he can vindicate himself. The Interstate Commerce Commissioners. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—A private note received here from Albany yesterday gives pretty substantial confirmation of the report that the President intends to appoint Mr. Kernan one of the Interstate Commerce Commissioners from New York. A Kepub- lican Senator said last night that the President ought to send in the name of one or two of the Commissioners before March 4. The name of the first man sent in and confirmed will indi- cate the chairman of the commission. The Senators intend to scrutinize these appoint- ments very carefully. If there is the least ex- cuse the Senate will reject them. This is the reason the President is taking so much time. He desires to find mento whom no objection can be made. Fairchild’s Chances Good, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCEH. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—It is pretty well agreed all around that Mr. Fair- child will be Mr. Manning’s successor in the Treasury Department. A high officialof the Treasury Department said that it was under- stcod that Mr. Cleveland had given up looking for a Western Secretary of the Treasury, and would appoint Mr. Fairchild. Minister Pendleton, By Telegraph to the PoOsT-DISPATCR. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—Minister Pendleton will sailfor Europe on March 9, to return to his post in Berlin. —— BAD RED MEN. ( A Band of Cheyennes Rescue an Indian Thief From His Captors. Mies Ctr, Mont., February 28.—Last fall a young buck broke into the Post-office at Ash- land, about ninety miles south of Miles City, and had not been arrested, although complaint was made, until last week, when the warrant was placed in the hands of a Deputy Sheriff whom the United States Marshal had commis- sioned to make the arrest. Proceeding to the agency, the deputy and an assistant identified the man, arrested him and set out for Miles City. When about fifty miles from the agency, a banc of Cheyennes rode furiously up, and with guns drawn and threatening gestures, forced the depyty to give up the prisoner. The band of Clf®yennes numbered about twenty and meant mischief. The deputy returned to Miles City Saturday night, and will take a reinforcement for his posse and return to the agency as soon as possibile and endeavor to capture the rescued pris- oner, as well as take into custody the members of the war party. This is the same tribe with whom so mach trouble was anticipated last September. Three companies of soldiers were sent there from Fort Keogh at that time to hold them in check. The action of the officers in turning their man loose with- out bloodshed is asubject of commendation, as one Indian killed might haye resu:ted in a wholesale siaughter of white settlers who are distributed through that locality, near the Upper Tongue River Valley. St. Vincent de Pani Society. The quarterly meeting of the Upper Council of St..Vincent de Paul Society was held last evening. Vicar-General Brady addressed the meeting.

The Trunkmakers’ Council of the United States has just closed its annual sessions at Chicago. r. Charlies L. Brook ofthis city was elected National Vice-President for the coming year. The marble-workers are to organize a union at once, and have petitioned the Trades As- sembly for an organizer. The sausage- makers are also to organize a union. The Furniture-workers of the United States have just closed an important meeting at Cin- ‘cinnati, and decided to organize just as soon as possibie a district of the Knights of Labor. Mr. J. W. Loca of this city was elected secretary of the proposed new body. There are now eighty furniture workers’ unions with next workers will be held in this city.

In December, 1886, an assigninent was made and the insurance company recent. ly recovered judgment against Mr. Thompson and an effort is now being made to satisfy it by a sale of realty. The petitioner is the widow of Phineas J. Thompson and she alleges that Joseph B.

Friends of the Democratic Committee Peat the Reform Movement—Political Notes. A call headed ‘‘An Earnest Request’’ and reading as follows was circulated about town on Saturday: ‘‘In view of the changes to be madein the wards of our city, it has become very impor. tant that steps be taken without delay, look- ing toathorough organization ofthe Demo- cratic party, and you are respectiuliy and earnestiy requested to attenda meeting at Uhrig’s Cave Hall, Saturday, February 26, at 8 o'ciock p. m. to devise means looking to that desirabie end; the following persons have been invited.’’ A long list of names of prominent citizens was given among the invitations. It was proposed to select four men, to choose a Central Committeeman in each ward, and a committee of Democrats to nominate for the House of Delegates. A number of prominent citizens signed the call. The old political mana- gers were consulted on the new nove, and they described the proposed meeting and plan as a Marmaduke move. The movement was apparentiy gotten up with the object of putting new material into the Democratic Central Committee and defeating the re-elec- tion plans which the present members of that body had arranged. About 400 persons were in the hall on Satur- day night when Mr. Harry Snyder called the meeting toorder. The friends of the (Central Committee were numerous and evidently not in sympathy with the proposed plans. The nomination of Given Campbell for Chairman was opposed by the nomination Of Ex-Justies of the Peace Pat O’Connelil. Some time was spent listening to speeches, which did not touch upon the real subject of the meeting. School Director O'Connell finally offered a resolution indorsing the Central Committee, This resolution was carried,and the Democrats dispersed, having vindicated their friends and defeated the object of the meeting. ANOTHER ELECTION ARREST. Patrick J. Laughlin, foreman at Ed Butler’s No. 3sbop atthe Union Depot Street Railway stables, and a resident of the First Ward, was arrested “saturday by Deputy Marshal Atkinson.

"WABASH SETTLEMENT, | THE PURCHASING COMMITTEE PAYS DOWN THE $1,000,000 ORDERED. An Intervening Petition Interferes with the Filing of the Required Bond—Hon. Rob- ert Lincoln and Henry Crawford Ap- pear for Petitioning East Side Bond- nolders—Judge Brewer Hears the Parties jn Chambers and Postpones Further Hearing Until Next Week—Temporary order of the Court—Gen. Hubbard Talks. gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, James F. Joy, ossian D. Ashley and Edgar T. Willes, the purchasing Committee of the Wabash, St. Louls & Pacifico Railway, arrived from New york this morning for the purpose of stat- ing their intentions with regard to the order of the United States Court of the Eastern Dis- trict of Missouri, requiring them to pay down $], 000, 000 and give bond in $1,000,000 as the condition of completing their title to and taking possession of the road. wr. Ashley carried the bundle of re- ceivers’ certificates inasatchel. Gen. Wager gwayne, counsel for the Wabash, arrived on saturday. Judge Brewer had also arrived in order to take whatever action might be nec- essary in the premises, and as the court was not insession sat in chambers for the de- termination of the matter at 11:30 this morn- ing. 6 HON. ROBERT LINCOLN and Henry Crawford, representing George I. ‘Bonner and other bondholders of the Main Line East, and the St. Louis pivision from East St. Louis to De- eatur, JIl., for whom the intervening petition was filed on Saturday, were also present. The intervening pelition asked that the receivers be ordered to pay over the net income of $1,200,000, Which the receivers’ report shows to have been earned by the main line divisions and $437,527.73 net income shown tohave been earned by the St. Louis division from May 29, i884, to September 30, jai, to the liquidation of. interests on the ponds issued on these divisions. The peti- tioners asked that this be done before posses- sion of the road be given tothe purchasing committee. GEN. HUBBARD stated the position of the purchasing com- mittee, saying that they were ready to comply with the order of the Court, but that the in- tervening petition required an answer, as it could be shown thatthe income mentioned in ithaud been expended properly in defraying expenses and deficiencies of non-paying lines under orders of the Court. Mr. Crawford spoke briefly for the bond holders giving the substance of the petition and asking that he be heard at lenvthin the matter. He said that the sum therein set down only represented the earnings of the roads up to September while the earnings up to the present time would be asked for if the report of the receivers could show how wuch they were. JUDGE BREWER said he was present to hear whatever might be said On either side and to take whatever action might be proper in Chambers, but as the matter in dispute appeared to be important and would. haveto be heard at length, he pre- ferred that it be argued before the Court iu Beeson. Gen. Hubbard stated that in view of the in- tervening petition and the action the Court might take on it the committee were ready to pay down the $1,000,000, but before giving bond would like to have the petition settied. He asked for an orcer fromthe Court which would protect the committee in so far as compiying withthe previous order was concerned. Judge Brewer said he was willing to make. an order requiring the committee to pay down to-day either in cash or receivers’ certificates the +|,000,000 and giving an extension of time in which to fille the bond for $!,000,000 until Monday. The case will come up at that time before Judges Brewer and Thayer. This was agreed to by all parties and the Purchasing Committee paid the $1,000,000 in certificates into the registry of the court. Gen. Hubbard in talking over the matter afterward said that he did not anticipate much trouble from the intervening peti- tion. It was merely one of the ob- struction tactics of .Crawford and some junior bondholders to keep the Wabash ‘ affairsin a state of confusion. He said the money asked for had been expended bythe receivers properly under the orders of the Court. In case the petition is dismissed the Purchasing Committee will complete its titieto the roadand will take possession of such of itasis now under the arate of the Missouri Court, and would continue its eflorts to obtain possession of the East lines. in case anything came of the petition he could not say what the Purchasing Commit- tee would do With reference to the rumor that the Pur- chasing Committee had refused to take the bondholders on the East side into the reor- ganization scheme bn a basis of 5 per cent, anG Led now offered only to guarantee 4 per cent on the bonds, he said there was no truth in it; that the commit- tee held out the same_ proposition fo the bondholders there as before, pay one suférest coupon in cash, fund all the remain- ing past interest and give 5 per cent imterest onthe bonds butthat there was not enough reg on hand to pay the past interest in The Purchasing Committee will probably remain in the city until Monday for the hear- lux of the case. In the court chambers this morning listening fo the proceedings were Receiver Humphreys Col. Blodgett, attorney for the Wabash, Re. ceivers’ Agent How, General Manager Tal- mage and others.

You can judge what cheek he has.” “‘And you refused?” ‘**Yes—no—no, I didn’t!’’ she exclaimed as she blushed clear back of her ears. ‘‘It was all settled that we should be married, and that’s one reason why I’ll pursue him to the ends of the earth.

THE FAMOUS BOSTON OPERA COMPANY BREAKS UP AT BUFFALO. Manager Foster’s Actions the Cause of the Rupture—Plans of Both Parties for the Future—Attractions at the Local Theaters This Week — The Romeo and Juliet Travesty—Amusement Notes. BUFFALO, N. Y., February 28.—Some new details for next season, growing out of the rupture in that once happy family, the Boston Ideals, was agreed upon at a late hour Satur- day night. Marie Stone, W. H. HeDonald, Tom Karl and H. C. Barnabee have all, within a week, announced that this was their last season under the managementof W. H. Fos- ter. Director Studley will also retire. Miss Huntington has already gone. This, of course, means the Ideals will not exist under that name next season. Interviews with the ladies and gentlemen who have thrown off Mr. Foster’s rule evince an opinion of the manager, which is not complimentary, to sav the least, and which would make them unsat- isfactory references were Foster looking for a situation. The cause of the recent rupture has been along growing dissatisfaction on the part of the leading members of the company with their treatment by their manager. It is an open secretthat Mr. H. C. Barnabee has had avery considerable financial interest in the management, which fact alone has kept him from breaking loose from a connec- tion which had grown intolerablé to him. It is understood that he has secured the money he invested, and that his only present connection with the company is in the capacity ofasalaried artist. This result was probably reached Saturday, when Mr. Barnabee’s lawyer had along interview with Mr. Foster. The artist bad a mortgage on the title, ‘‘Boston Ideals,’’ among other things, to secure himself, and the name, itis prob- able, Manager Foster will hold on to with a death grip. Messrs. McDonald, Karl and Barnabee, all men of property and finan- to cial responsibilitv, have resolved see whether the methoas formerly characteristic of the Ideals cannot be made to tellin the establishment of a new company. Itisthe design to raise the stan- dard of the works undertaken by the com- pany.Such operas as “Carmen’’and “Mignon’’ will be given a prominent place in _ its repertoire, but works of a lighter character willbe given due attention. New faces and voices will be added and the musical direction will be cared for by Mr. Studley. Itisthought that Miss Geraldine Uimar and Mr. George Fotheringham will be inthe new company, as wellas Miss Huntington. Manager Foster will say nothing about his plans, except that he will continue to keep the Ideals in existence. eenneeenntsdittitiniiipiandmen AMUSEMENTS. The Attractions at the Local Theaters This Week—Notes. Of all the melodramas which are before the public there is none more cleverly con- structed with better situations and with more telling comedy elements than ‘‘Shadows of a Great City.’’ While the story is not altogether probable it is 50 well told that the listener never thinks of the probability and the development of the plot moves along in an interesting,reason- avle way. There is scarcely amoment after the curtain goes upin which the audience is not held attentive and entertained. The Messrs. Jefferson and Shewell, too, have se- lected an admirable cast and have kept it so that the performance is smooth and effective from beginning to end, Annie Ward Tiffany’s Biddy Ronan is an artistic and admirable piece of enaracter work and is fairly bubbling over with fun, while W.S. Harkins as Tom Cooper, H. W. Hermanas George Benson, G. R. Edeson as Jim Farren, W. W. Ailen as Abe Waltraus, W. H. Burton as Arkwright, E. B. Tilton as Hammond and Miss Helen Rand as Annie and Helen Standish are excellent. . ” * Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels would have packed Pope’s last night, but the rush was so great at opening time that a number of people left the throng in front of the box-office under the impression that every seat was gone. Asit was the gallery and balcony were crowded, and down stairs was filled. Every- thing was not new on the programme—that would be too great a surprise onthe audience; but there were plenty of clever features, which kept the audience in capital humor. The singing was good, and the jokes had the endorsement of the minstrel public. Johnny Curran received a regular ovation and a beautiful floral piece after his first song, a sweet lullaby, ‘‘Baby’s Laughing in Her Sleep,’’ and for an encore he gave a laughing song and yodle. Billy Emerson caught the house from the start, and kept it with his imitations, songs and specialties; while ‘‘Gov.’* Add Ryman, E. M. Hall, the Gormans,the Quaker City Quartette and other features worked the audience upto a chronic state of laughter and applause. * - * Myra Goodwin was ill nearly all last week but bravely appeared at every performance but Saturday night she fainted in the first actof ‘‘Sis’’ and was unable to goonthe stage yesterday afternoon. Edwin Arden, however, having arrivedin ample time took the matinee audience and held it with ‘‘Eagle’s Nest.’’ The play and the performance have been greatly strengthened. The scenery is fine and the situations are cleverly worked up. The bowie knife fightis extremely real- istic Mr. Arden giving Blasedon atoss over his shoulder which is immense. Miss Evelyn Campbell makes an attractive and effective Rose, Miss Jennie Christie was amusing as — Suze and the cast generally was cap- abie. 2 * * ‘*Black Hawks,’’ with Arizona Joe and his revolver playing star parts, packed the Stan- dard last night. The big audience was led on from one thrilling situation to another with an accompaniment of bullets and dead men to the climax. Arizona Joe has a quartette of cleverly trained dogs which added greatly to the attractions of the play, which 1s thorough- ly sensational. It willrun for the week with the usual matinees. snared ROMEO AND JULIET. _—— Mr. Soule’s Travesty to Be Repeated for the Humane Society’s Benefit. The performance of Chas. C. Soule’s bur- lesque on ‘‘Komeo and Juliet’’ at the Pick- wick, Thursday, was so thoroughly enjoyed by the audiences, that the repetitions to-mor- row and Wednesday nights, f& the benefit of the Humane Society, "can. not fail to call out a big audience. The selection of the cast was the happiest possible and each member con- tributed splendidly to the fun, which was continuous from beginning to end. The “oe gy seme is thoroughly enjoyable, and oth for itself and the cause for which it is given deserves packed houses each night. Mr Wayman McCreery will be seen as Romeo. W_ M. Porteous as Mercutio, T. H. Harold as Capulet, Edmund keane as Tybalt, Henry Groffman as Friar Lawrence, W. Beaumont Smith as the Apothecary, Henry Walker as Juliet and Frank Wyman as the Nurse. while ahostof well-known gentiemen will figure as retainers, servants, etc. Amusement Notes.

A- PROBLEM. THE VAST AMOUNT OF BUSINESS TO BE DISPOSED OF BY CONGRESS. ad Mixed Up and Delayed Condition of Affairs —The Appropriation Bills—An Extra Ses- sion Inevitable—What the President May Do—Meeting of the Appropriation Com- mittees. By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—Mem- bers of the Appropriation Committees of both Houses say it has been many: years since the business of Congress was in such amixed up and delayed condition as at the present time. Congress expires next Friday at noon. The problem now is how to get through with the ma3s of accumulated and delayed business; without an extra session. Noone appears to want an extra session, yet everyone admits that there is serious danger of it. One ortwo of the appropriation bills must fail. Per- haps some of the larger and more im- portant bills cannot be gotten through. Under the Hayes Administration there was an extra session of Congress, caused by the fail- ure of the legislative and army appropriation bills. This extra session was not called until October. The banks advanced the money to the Government and so an extra session was avoided until fall. Since that time, however, Congress passed a law providing that no em- ploye should serve the Government unless his salary had been appropriated by Congress. The fortification bill and the deficiency Dill, in all probability, will be lost. There was no fortification bill passed last year. The Senate appropriated $6,300,000 but the House refused to agree to. it. The same bill is pending this year, The deficiency bill has not yet been reported to the House. It willcome in after the legisla- tive bill. If anyone of the important bills fail, it would be possible for Congress to avoid an extra session by adopting a joint resolution thatif the Houee keeps back the appropriation bills so that they have no time to consider them, it must accept the re- sponsibility of an extra session, There is an interesting point in connection with all these appropriation bills, which have not thus far received consideration. This is the Pres!l- dent’s action upon them. The President has announced to Congress that he will not sign any bill which he has not read. Last vear he refused to go to the Capitol to sign bills during the closing hours of the session upon the ground that he could not consider them and theretore would not sign them. According tothe best calculations he will have the seven appropriation bills pend- ing before him by midnight next Thursday. The sundry civil bill, which is in conference where it has been dragging atong several weeks, would require at least three hours to read. The legisiative bill would require two hours. Itis not within range of human pos- sibilities for the President to read these seven appropriation bills. The question now is whether he will sign them with his eyes shut or himself take the responsibility of having an extra session because of lack of time to prop- erly consider them. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The sundry civil billisone of the most im- portant of the appropriation bills. Without its becoming alaw, it would be impossible to carry onthe Government. There are anum- ber of points in this measure of serious differ- ence. There is an appropriation of $100,000 for the survey of the boundary between this coui.- try and Mexico, which Mr. Randall refuses to allow. Mr. Bayard has already $100,000 for this survey, buthe needs another $100,000 to com- plete it, and he does not wishto begin the work until he has enough money tv finish it. Mr. Bayard has to depend upon the Repub- lican Senate for this money. There is an ap- propriation also of $50,000 for the survey of the boundary between the British possessions in North America and Alaska, which is objected to by the House. THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEES MEET. Thetwo Appropriation Committees sat yes- terday to considerthis measure but had not arrived atan agreement iatein the evening. The legislative bill can not be passed in the House before 4 o'clock this afternoon. In any event, itcan not reach the Senate through the Appropriation Committee before noon Tues- day. Mr. Holman has several amendments which bave not yet been printed. By sitting night and day, the Senate does not expect to get through with this bill before late Wednes- day night. Then there will only be left a few hours for conference, and the Presidept’s consideration. The Republican Senators say they do not propose to accept the House bills forced on them atthis late hour. They say the plan is to make them take these bills with- out changing them in any way, or else run the risk of an extrasession. The District of Co- lumbia bill is in conference. There isa serious difference there betweep the House andthe Senate, but that can be easily adjusted. There is only one point of difference between the House and the Senate on the Post-oftice bill. This relates to the $500,000 subsidy forthe steamship service. The House is resolved not to concede this. The naval bill’ is yet to be considered by the Senate. It appropri- ates sbout $26,000,000. This represents an in- crease of over $10,000,000. This increase represents all that the House will allow in the direction ofnaval expendituresin coast forti- fications. The aggregate of the Honse appro- priation bills as they now stand represents an increase of from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 com- pared with the appropriations of last year. No appropriations tor public buildings have been approved by the House this yeur. The Senate has put $1,500,000 inthe sundry civil bill for carrying on the work already begun. have toconcede. The Mexican pension bill, represents an increase of about $5,000,000. In round numbers $20,000,000 will represent an extra expenditure ordered by Congress. If the dependent pension bill had not failed there would be nothing left of the surplus. The Treasury people estimate that the sur- plus at the close of the fiscal year will be about $60,000,000. If the expenditures now proposed by Congress, inthe regular bills, should be- come law, they would take ALL THE SURPLUS EXCEPT $40,000,000. The business situation in Congress is, there- fore, most complicated and serious. Nothing but the greatest energy and hard work can get Whether there is to be an extra session or not, depends upon the leaders of both sides. If the Democrats in the House want an extra session, they can easily force it, so can the Republicans in the Senate. If both sides wish no extra session, they can manage to dispose of the bills. Then the President will have to decide whether he will adhere to his resolution of last year concerning the signing of important measures without being able to consider them. The miscellaneous subjects of legisla- tion which will possibly fill up the spare mo- ments in the Senate are put down in the cau- cus programme as follows: The labor arbi- tration bill, land yrant forfeiture bill, the bill relating to lottery adyertisements passing through the mails, bills to quiet land titles, the Des Moines land grant bill, the bill au- thorizing suits against the United States. bills for the adjudication of private land claims in certain States and Territories, the bill fora monument to colored soldiers, the Joseph Francis resolution, the bill to reimburse Vir. ginia and other states, their expense in the war of 1812 andthe international copyright bill. Senator Miiler will cali up, probably to-day, the House pleuro-pneumonia Dill, (the pending question being a motion to re- consider the vote by which the Edmunds’ substitute was adopted). Senator Ingalls will! seek an opportunity to call up for action the bill repealing the limitation to the arrears of ensions actand Senator Van Wyck will ask the Senate to pass the bill relating to the disposal ofabandoned military reservations under the homestead law. A contest is pending In secret session over the nomination of Public Printer Benedict, and the British extradition treaty remains among the unfinished matters on the executive calendar, but it is not likely to be further pressed for action this session. Inthe House little general legislation is expected during the remaining days of the session. During the four legislative days remaining, tt will be in order to any measure by a two-thirds vote under a suspension otrules. Looking to tnis last chance, the members who are charged with the manage- ment of important measures, such as the Pa- cifle Railroad inquiry resolution, the depart- ment of agricuiture bill, pleure-pneumonia and the educational bills, will make every effort to secure recognition by the Speaker in order to get a vote on their bills. Some of these efforts pao A succeed, but in most cases all chance for legislation will be cut off by the presentation and discussion of conference re- ports and other privileged matters.

Nothing. AN ARCH ATHEIST. Mr. J.C. Underhill’s Reply to Bradlaugh’s Essay on Socialism. CnuicaGco, Ill., February 28.—There was a meeting of Socialists yesterday afternoon to hear a reply to Bradlaugh’s essay on Socialism by J. C. Underhill. Underhill referred to the ex-member of the House of Commons as an arch atheist. The essay defined socialism as anarchism. This, Mr. Underhill held, was not the case. Material differ- ence existed between the two. When the speaker had finishe@ denying the relationship of socialism to anarchism, a number of speakers relieved their minds, the majority finding fault with his utterances Among them was one Holmes, who said: ‘‘I am an anarchist; lama communist; I am a nihilist, andlam a socialist. No distinction exists that I know of between social- ism, anarchism and communism. If there is I repudiate it. The stan- dard lexicon defines socialism as a theory of society, which advocates a better arrangement of the sucial relations of man- kind than that which has hitherto prevailed in communism. That is the only socialism I know of—the only socialism I tolerate. The convention, which nominated a labor ticket Saturday night in the Madison Street Theater, was a representative guthering of Socialists— they dare not deny it.’’ SO PREVALENT AND FATAL has consumption become, that it is now everywhere dreaded as the great scourge of humanity, and yet in their formative stages ail pulmonary com- laints may be readily relieved and controlled y résorting promptly to Dr. D.
