RFCORDER OF Voters Williams, two ot his most - pert clerks and Just - tees Ryan and Zim- merman are still en- gaged making the official count of the _ retarns of Tuesday's election. The Re- . publican candidates. 4) who. contemplate ‘, eontests, are repre- sented by Mr. Frank Richey, while Mr. Frank Ryan is look- ing after Democratic intereste. City r D. Oc. Tracy and Joseph Wherry, asthe Republican candidate, attended yant with their attorneys. Twenty-one .8 were completed up to the noon ournment. The official count showed at the #$Post-DIsPaTcH count of sterday, which gave Tracy a plurality of 33, was almost absolutely correct. A typograph- ical error in the returns of one precinct credited Wherry with one vote less than he bad received according to the poll books re- turn. If the Post-DISPATCH returns in the re- maining eight wards are as correct as the official count shows the figures were in the first twenty wards, Mr. Tracy will be given the certificate of election on a plurality of 32 votes. Two incidents of to-day’s count show the perfection of the system which Recorder of Voters Williams has introduced for securing accurate returns. Each poll was furnished with a tally-sheet. This was divided into columns marked 5, 10, 15, etc. In each space opposite the name ofeach candidate is marked in light green lines four strokes with a cross stroke. When making the countthe judges read offthe ballots while the clerk tallied each vote on the sheet carefully mark- ing over the light green lines for every ballot. On referring to the column number and n over the strokes in the unulled space the judges are enabled to state the re- sult at once. In the Seventeenth Ward the candidates for election to the House of Delegates were Jas. P. Egan (Dem.) and H. C. Grawe (Rep.). Ac- cording to the return of the judges Grawe was elected by a small majority. on cast- ing the ballots it appeared vote for Delegates was in excess ofthe total vote for, the candidate for any other office in Precinct 82. The return gave Grawe 153 votes and Egan 82. On refer- ence to the tally sheets it was shown that only 133 votes were recorded for Grawe, which gave Egan a plurality of 12. At the count to-day Egan presented affidavits from the Judges and Clerks of Election both Democratic and Republican in verifica- tion of his claims. His panto | holds that there is now no question about Eagan’s elec- tion. The other close race was for delegate in the Twenty-first Ward. There were 2,010 votes castin this ward, which were equally dis- tributed. Mr. L. W. Blanke, the o mo- cratic candidate, against Mr. C. Schomhardet, n was present at the official count and ssid he was confident that the first re- — were correct and that the vote was a tle. In this case the facts will be reported by the House of Delegates on next Saturday, and the Mayor will at once order a special election in the ward. Mr. G. P. Bell dropped in to comfort his Democratic fellows who were on the anxious bench. Though defeated, he had the satis- faction of having received 6,000 more votes than he did in his race for the Council. The count will be completed late this after- noon unless some unlooked-for complication arises. It was found that the judges of the Eighty-first Precinct had neglected to properly sign the returns. after rectifying the mistake excused them- se!ves and withdrew. No considerabie variations from the returns ublished in the POsT-DISPATCH have so far een discovered. - — MARTIN NEISER’S CONTEST. He Claims Emile Themas Is Not Eligible to the Office of City Marshal. Martin Neiser, the present incumbent of the office of City Marshal and late Democratic candiaate for re-election, this afternoon befere Judge Valliant in Circuit Court room No. 6, by his attorney, W. C. Marshall, made application for an injunction against Emile Thomas, the successful contestant for the office at Tuesday’s election, and Henry W. Williams, Recorder of Voters. The injunction is prayed to prevent Thomas from usurping the office of City Marshal and Williams from issuing a certificate of election to Thomas. The basis of the prayer is the allegation that Thomas Was not eligible at the time of his election. Section 10 of article 4 of the city charter, provides that city officers must bave paid thelr city taxes at the time of their election, and must not be in debt the city. Neisser alleges that Thomas’ property was assessed to be worth n 1885 and 1886, $400 in 1887 and $1,000 in 1888, but that he has failed and neglected to pay the taxes due under these assessments, and has not for four years paid any tax to the city. an ge Valliant granted a temporary injunc- on. Mayor-Elect Noonan Talks. Mayor-elect E. A. Noonan is busy. At all hours and on every hand he is besieged with hosts of friends and innumerable letters of congratulation and esteem. His residence has been converted into one grand reception- room and it is only by usi the utmost se- veri that his court in the Four Courts’ Building is not monopolized ~~ the public for the same purposes. And the Judge, through it all, ie as calmly courteous to fis friends and acquaintances as in the days of his early popularity. when his aspirations soared no igher than the ape ety of the Court of Criminal Correction. But through it all Judge Noonan bas not neglected his duties, and fe was on hand bright and early at the opening of court this morning. Business was brisk for awhile, anda stock of mail a foot high de- manded an investigation.

In the Criminal Court this morning the case against Gustave Meyers and Dick McAndrews occupied the greater portion of the time. A jury was secured, and the case was given to it at 12 o’clock. A verdictof guilty was returned soon after, and Judge Normile sentenced the defendants to ten years each in the penitentiary at Jefferson City. These men were indicted for highway robbery in having waylaid and robbed Gustave Knobble of $50 on the night of December 24, 1888. There were two indictments against the men, one being nolle prossed. Anton Poionowski, a Pole, entered a plea of guilty to the charge of fraud, an was sentenced to serve three months in the Work- house. In last November Polonowski ob- a 9 > N ~ N * 1 2 a 7 * ‘ye 4 7 is N : x tained a quantity of old iron, valued at $965, from the H. H. Bothe Carriage & Wagon Co., and fraud was alleged to have taken place in the transaction. On the 30th of November, 1888, Henry Wirth- ay burlarized the residence of 8. T. McKel- vey, 2340 Pine street, and stole an overcoat and a gold headed umbrella. This morning he pleaded gulity to the charge and was sen- tenced to four years at Jefferson City. Sam Temple burglarized the shop of Charles Rebstock & Co., 200 South Main street, last November and pleaded guilty to the charge when arraigned this morning. He was sen- tenced to four years, and the second indict- ment was nollie proseguied. CAUGHT IN JERSEY CITY. Arrest of a Bold Gang of Firebugs and An- archiste. JERSEY Cr, N. J., April 4.—The leader of a gang of firebugs, who have been fleecing in- surance companies, was arrested in this city yesterday. The fact was kept secret as the officials hoped to secure the arrest of another member of the gang. The prisoner, Bernard Blume, was taken to Brooklyn, where three other members of the gang, Frederick Feight, Fred- erick Freund and Frank Dussing are in cus- tody. The method of the gang was to rent stores, putin a small stock and obtain a heavy insurance on the stock and fixtures. When reparations were made for the incendiary laze a lamp would be broken. Near it were placed biadders filled with benzine and around a bladder, a circle of gun powder. A slow fuse was used to ignite the powder, which exploded the bladder, and like a flash the lace would be ablaze, teaving no trace of the neendiary work except the broken lamp to deceive the insurance people. The gang are anarchists and belong to the Chicago band. ABOUT TOWN. THE Mechanics’ Exchange will hold a quar- terly meeting Tuesday.

Cor. A BIG VERDICT, Mrs. Fannie Kraper Gets a Judgment Against a Street Railroad for $15,000. In the United States Circuit Court to-day the jury in the case of Mrs. Fannie Kraper vs. the Forest Park, Laclede & Fourth Street Railway Co. returned a verdict for the full amount of damages asked, $15,000. The grounds for Mrs. Kraper’s suit were that she had sustained an extra capsulu fracture of the hip through the negligence of an em- ploye of the vee. “He and was permanently disabled. nm October 2 Mrs. Kraper, who ts a resident of Metropolis, III., was a passenger on a bobtail of the Laclede avenue line’s extension. At Taylor avenue she signaled the driverto stop. The car was brought to a standstill, but before the lady, who fad a baby in her arms, could get off, the horse was started by a man who was performing the driver's duty. The result was that Mrs. Kraper was thrown to the und with her child, and when dDicked up was unconcious. An exami- nation of her injuries showed ber hip had been fractured. Since the accident she has not been able to walk without crutches, and }cannot nd forward. Drs. SBernays, Hodgen, Prewitt Norris called in to t as whether the effects o the inja would be lasting ornot. Drs.

By Telegraph to the Post -DISPATCH. New YorK, April 4.—The Clyde steamer George W. Clyde got in from Cape Haytien yesterday. The Peace Commission of three, which Legitime sentto Hippolyte aboard the Delta, lett for home while the Clyde was in port. They brought Hippolyte a proposition for a basis of peace, which retired Hippolyte practically to private life and left Legitime President. Hippolyte did not take kindly to this proposal. He told the com- missioners to tell Legitime that peace could be had only on these terms: That both Hippol and Legitime should retire to private life; that neither should again be a candidate for the Presi- dency ; that a general election should be held; that no government officials must attend the national convention as delegates, and that there must be no sold lers in the town where the convention is held. News also comes by the Clyde that Presi- dent Hereaux of San Domingo formally recognized Legitime as President of Hayti when he ordered the Mercedes and Carondelet out of Dominican waters. Both these vessels were in the harbor of Cape Hay- tien bristling with guns when the Clyde left. The Mercedes is now called the Jacmel. Capt. Connors and his crew of twenty-seven, who took the Carondelet down, came back on the Clyde. Capt. Scholtz of the steamer KI Oallio, which has just arrived, says Hippolyte is scouring the coast in search of able-bodied men for his new navy. The navy, as it now lies off Cape Haytien, consists of the El Presidente, the Mercedes and the Carondelet. Capt. Scholtz says that on March 26, at 10:10 a. m., an earthquake last- ing several seconds was felt in and near Port- de-Paix. He did not hear of any loss of life or property. The Clyde also heard of the earth- quake. EASTER CARDS AND NOVELTIES. LOVELY NEW S rock. PRICES 5 CENTS TO $10.00. Call and see these new things.

JOHN WATERS AND JAMES EGAN OF THE SEVENTEENTH WARD AS PUGILISTS. Cutlery Best of L The House of Delegates Turned Intoa Bat- tiefleld—Egan Gets the Best of It—Cause of the Trouble—Politics at the Bottom of the Cauldron—How the Combatants Came Together on the Floor. WO Democratic can- didates far member of the Heu of Dele- gates had a very un- pleasant and very per- sonal misunderstand- ing on last Monday which resulted in a rough - and - tumble fight on the carpet in the office of the Clerk of the House of Dele- gates. The two principals in the fight were John Waters, independent candidate, and James Egan, the regular Democratic nominee from the Seventeenth Ward. The direct cause of the encounter was the very 1 used by Mr. Waters in referring to his opponent, which profane speech the opponent objected to. The warof words which preceded the personal encounter was caused by an alleged agreement made two years ago between Waters and Egan upon the subject of the House of Delegates candidacy. HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN. Two years ago, before the election for dele- gates, Waters and Egan were candidates from the Seventeenth Ward. Waters got the primary nomination and Egan came out as the independent candidate, and staid out as such until the eve of the election, when he withdrew from the race altogether upon an agreement made with Waters at Waters’ suggestion. This agree- ment was that Egan should withdraw and give Waters a clear field, in return for which Waters promised that at the next election, the one held on Tuesday, he would withdraw in Egan’sfavorand give him his support and contribute $500 to Egan’s campaign. This suited Egan very well and he withdrew from the race and Waters was elected a member of — e ee of Delegates from the Seventeenth r ard. Their relations were friendly until the open- ing of the present campaign. Egan belieyv- ing Waters would keep his promise came out forthe regular Democratic nomination ex- pecting to get the support of Waters. Waters apparently forgetting the agreement of two years ago also announced himself a candidate for the nomination and re-election. This dis- pleased Egan very — but he said nothing to Waters about it at the Democratic primaries got the nomination he sought. CAME OUT INDEPENDENT. Waters being defeated atthe primaries got his back up and immediately came out as an independent candidate, and ran against Egan and opposed him as bitterly as possibile. No money and no support was forthcoming from Waters as Egan expected. This hurt his feciings somewhat and he demanded an ex- lanation. On Monday while Egan was on a ur of inspection of the House of Delegates and the City Hall wee sew he encountered John Waters. He reminded John ge ently of his promise of two years ago, which Waters de- replied that Egan was an untrustworthy eur. Egan asked him to retract this statement and Waters got mad and satd he 4 22 only a contemptinie | our, but a an expiatued | to 1 that he did not want to do personal violence, but would feel com- pelled to doso unless Mr. Waters withdrew the v unpleasant names and expressions aters said he would not re- ments 22 on Mr. kind — S 2 THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK. | 1 . os vg + — A 4 oa EMER RA ROTN TH DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT.

Charles Gross was arrested this morning on a charge of stealing a package of papers from the mails, and his case will be ah interésting one. It is alféged that he was seen take a pack - age of papers from the top of the mail box on Fourth street and Washington avenue, tear off the wrapper and take the papers away. It is a question whether a package laid on top ot a mall box is in the mail. If it ts, then to take it isto rob the mall; if it is not, the only crime is petty larceny of a very petty kind. A test will be made of Gross’ case and the doubtful point determined by the court. Ingalls’ April Bombshelt. „ Page 5. HOTEL PERSONALS. 8. R. Allen Little Rock; D. K.

The last Municipal Assembly accomplished sev- ral excellent results for St. Louis.

In the light of the returns from Tues- day’s election it is easy to point out the blunders of both parties in the selection of their candidates. The chief blunder, however, was that of hasty action in forming the body of the tickets, based on other cpusiderations be- sides that of fitness for the office. Never was the fact of the increasing independ- ence of voters in municipal eleoc- tions. more tboroughly demonstrated than in this contest. In the choice of executive officers the division between the two parties is as nearly equal as possible, the Republicans winning the odd office and this following a Republican majority of over 5,000 last November. The majorities of the successful candi- dates of both parties ranged from less than a hundred to several thonsand votes. While personal popularity entered to some extent into the result it must be ad- mitted that unobjectionable records and personal fitness for the offices were the chief elements of success. There is no question that changes in candidates would have given different results in sev- eral cases. The conclusion from these facts 1s in- evitable. They prove beyond doubt that the day of certain party majorities in municipal elections is past. The valuable lesson which both parties may gain from the figures is that the only guarantee of sucoéss in city elections hereafter is the personal fitness of candidates. — — —— DISFRANCHISED VOTERS. In some precincts Tuesday, we know not how many, there were loud com- plaints on the part of old residents who have been well known voters atthe same precincts for years, but who found them- selves disfranchised by the registration revisers. When they tried to vote late in the evening they found that their names had been wrongfully taken off the lists without notice of any kind tothem. In some instances ballots were rejected because the names of the voters had been misspelled in transcribing the lists, and the fact that the judges had known a voter for years and hadtaken his vote from the same’ residence at former elec- tions did not secure the reception of his ballot. Every voter who had any such experience will render the public a serv- ice by sending his name and residence and asuccinct statement of the facts to the Post-DISPATCH, BOULANGER is a soldier who, in the way of his profession, has always been ready to face death. But to do that among soldiers, inthe din and excitement of battle, is a very different thing from un- dergoing the slow torture of an alleged trial for treasonable designs, before a political tribunal organized to convict. And so, by the advice of some of his friends, BOULANGER has skipped over into Belgium. He must entertain a rather chilly sort ot regard for the other friends who wanted to glory in his martyrdom, and who had a theory that France would immediateiy begin to worship the dead hero she had guillotined. — —— — — THE news that EpwIn Boorn has re- ceived a stroke of paralysis which threat- ens to end his career as an actor, and perhaps his life, will be received with profound regret by the civilized world. There is reason to believe, however, that Mr. BARRETT was led by his sudden fears to take too serious a view of Mr. Boorn's condition in making his announcement from the stage at Rochester, N. Y. Later reports indicate that the attack will prob- ably result in only temporary disability and that the master spirit of his age“ in the drama will make the creations of SHAKSPEARE’S genius live and breathe again. 8 Tk total vote at the mayoralty elec- tion was only 6,984 less than the total vote for President, and five or six thousand names have been scratched from the reg- istration lists as frauds since November. The vote on Tuesday was not only the largestin proportion to registration, but absolutely the largest ever cast at a mu- nicipal election in St. Louis. We lament the failure of avery large body of citi- zens to register and vote. But the party that claims a majority of the unpolled vote is simply confessing its own failure to presenta ticket that can get the full party vote. _— ——— E — fp ae PR a ees ET > Te ee ye a .. n — ee PU u 3 * d > T tucce tans ago the Laclede offered to sell plant to the oilty for or * is for 6 4 ro ls were that the English syndicate negotiations for the are in this is not confirmed. the gas trust stated that urchase of its certificates Rad The Laclede bas bonds in the to the amount of $500,000, which are to be.used for the erection of an electric light plant. STILL LOVES THE BRUTE. Blind Mrs. Bohan Visits Her Fiendish Hus- band in Auburn Prison. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaToOR. AUBURN, N. 8 April 4.—A large, middle- aged woman, biind in both eyes and led by a young lady of 16, applied at the prison gate yesterday morning for admission. She asked to see Wm. Bohan, ber husband, who re- ceived a draft from Sing Sing last October and was serving a 27 year sentence for gouging her eyes out. Because of hig terrible crime Bohan has been ostracised by his fellow convicts. Even thieves, burglars and murderers show their detestation of the man who could treat his wife so. For the pust two weeks Boban has been an inmate of the hospital, suffering from a severe attack of pneumonia. He has n in communication with his wife, and when she heard lm was sick she deter- mined to visit him, arriving at the prison yes- — accompanied her niece. She was — tted to visit her brutal husband in the ospital, and their meeting was very affection- ate. He walked ap to her and placing his hands on her cheeks kissed her several times. He then led her to achair near his bed and spent an hour in earnest conversation, during which the convict husband cried like a child. The sight of the blind woman coming to visit the man who had caused ber so much misery surprised even the prison officials. To one of them who expr his surprise to the wife she said: 1 forgave him and still love him. The woman’s niece, a sister’s daughter, re- ceived the man very coolly, and through the interview she never spoke to her uncle. A reporter saw rs. Bohan and she said that, while she was unable to account for her 88 she still loved the man and would live w th him again to-morrow if he were released from prison. She added that it was hard to keep him in rison as it did her no good and was an in- ury tohim. She excused his crime by saying that he was intoxicated else he never would have injured her. ‘*When sober,’’ she said, ‘‘he always treated me kindly.’’ She added that when sent to prison he deeded to her all his pruperty, amounting to about $7,000. She said: ‘‘A wife s a wife, andIcan’t help my feelings. Ilove my husband stilland would do anything for him. As soon as Jam able I sball set about obtaining his — and if successful we shall live togetber as before. She was asked if the neighbors would not interfere and make it unpleasant for the man if he returned to Far Rockaway. ‘‘No,’’ said the woman, ‘‘they would not dare lay violent bands on bim, for it they hurt a hair of his head I would see that they were punished.’’ THE VESUVIUS. Satisfactory Trials of the New Cruiser’s Dynamite Guns. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsrarcsa. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 4.—Aeccording to contract, before the dynamite guns can be ac- cepted, each of the 15-inch guns must be fire five times in ten minutes, Or, on an average, once in two minutes. Ina preliminary trial yesterday, ten blank shots were fired in eight minutes, or an average of one shot in less than a minute. Starting with her three ns loaded, as would be the case in attle, the trial yesterday proved that the Vesuvius could fire eighteen shells, each containing 500 poundsof gelatine and dyna- mite, at an enemy, in six minutes. In six minutes the Vesuvius can steam, two quarter miles, firing all the time as she approaches an enemy. As the guns of the Vesuvius are fixed at a constant elevation of 18 deg., the range of her projectiles can be changed only by varying the amount of air admitted to the n barrel in the rear of the shell. The air is always admitted from the firing reservoir to the gun ata pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch, and the vaive which controls the admission of air must be so delicately adjusted that the amount ad- mitted may be varied at will to anicety. In other words, the valve must work in such perfection that the final pressure upon the shell may be diminished from 1.000 pounds per square inch to the pressure just sufficient to drop the shell a short distance from the muzzle. To attain such perfection in the firing valve using such enormous pressures many trials and experiments have been necessary. Asa result of forty blank shots fired yesterday the certainty that the valve mechanism will con- trol the final air pressure, increasing or di- few pounds at will, was demon- ring certainty of fire at all nal preparations can be naval officers will convene with dummy shells to satisfy the contract. ZORK PENSION AGENCY. Department Officiais Make a Thorough In- vestigation of Gen. Siegel’s Office, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPAaTCH. New Tonk, April 4.—Since the arrest and conviction of young Siegel for frauds prac- ticed while clerk in the Pension Agency in this city, the authorities at Washington have been making a thorough examination of the books and vouchers of the offices in this city for the purpose of discovering if any more crookednuess exists, and also devise some lan by which such practices as those in- Zulged in by young Siegel can be prevented in the future. The examination was con- ducted by Special Agents Jacobs and Shopp. The work was long and tedious and it was not until last Saturday that the agents returned to II. to prepare and present their re- port to the Commissioner of Pensions, „J have nothing to fear from the zamina- tion’’ said Gen. Siegel, the pension a tin this city, to a reporter yesterday. ‘If any- thing wrong has been discovered I don’t know of it, as the examiners did not consult me, and I did not think I had the right to in- terfere. There may have been some mistakes resulting from carelessness on the part of some of the clerks during our busy seasons, but lam eonfident no dishonesty has been found. I — the great misfortune about my son has brought the whole thin about.

A. E., Legion of Honor and Other Or- — OW that the the Washington in- auguration centen- nial will be pushed forward rapidly by the gentlemen hav- ing them in charge. The committees that have not yet begun work will now open up their campaigns. Jerome Hill, Chairman of the Finance Committee, called a meeting of his commitstee for 8 o’clock this at- ternoon in the reading room of the Mer- chants’ Exchange. This committee consists of Mr. Hill, 8. M. Kennard, J. 8. Moffitt, Frank Gaiennie and Geo. D. Thomson. Its work is to provide sufficient funds for the demonstration in St. Louis on April 380, a not very difficult task. Mr. Hill said to-day he had not made an attempt to do any- thing in the line of the committee’s work here- tofore because everyone was interested in the election and he did not think the proper in- terest would be shown. That bug-bear being out ofthe way there can now be no obstruc- tion to the committee’s success in securing with very little solicitation all the money necessary. The committeemen will probably be 1 charge of districts or lines of trade, and the minimum amount of money to be raised decided upon. THE PARADE. There has been considerable done toward the formation of the parade. Secret societies in large numbers have signifiedto Secretary John 8. Moffittof the Oommittee on Plans their wish to participate in the demonstra- tion. One order having nearly 4,000 members in the city will probably jointhe line. The question is being agitated in the lodges and is meeting with cordial acceptance everywhere. A meeting of Post CommandersG. A. R. has been called by Commanders Wm. McClellan of Gen. Lyon Post, O. P. Hoefer of Hassendeubel Post, and Thos. 8. Maxwell of Frank P. Blair Post for to-morrow evening at the Southern Hotel. The object of the meeting is to ene for the participation of the local posts of the Grand Army of te Repubilc in the parade. It is expected that COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WM. WARNER of Kansas City will be present. The Grand Army is gage A gee in the celebration of April 30, the 100th anniversary of the begin- ning ofthis great and free nation. Several posts have passed upon. the question of par- ticipation r! and it is believed that nine-tenths of all the members will be seen in the line. Nothing has as yet been heard from the Sons of Veterans or the Loyal Legion, but members ot both organizations are favorable to participation, and have promised to bring up the question for consideration in the sev- eral branches. One of the secret societies to participate wili probably be the LEGION OF HONOR. Few persons have any idea of the strength ofthis order in St. Louis. The order is con- fined to the city exclusively, and has grown in a very few years to a number surpassing many secret and benevolent orders that cover the entire county. Requests are going up tothe Supreme Council at every meeting of subor- dinate councils that the order participate, and the Supreme Councilis understood to favor the idea. The Knights of Honor, the Knig of Pythiasand the A. O. U. W., are being’sim- Harly interested. Some effort is being made to seeure the participation of the Masons and other orders. The detail from Jefferson Bar- racks will be secured without difficulty. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT will be represented b mounted men if the views of mitteemen prevail, and there | will be no finer sight than this. The full Fire Department can be counted on. The probability is that between sixteen and twenty thousand men will be in line. When claims of 100,000 paraders in line are remembered the estimate 20,000 seems exceedingly small, but the truth of the matter is that such a parade would be the largest ever seen in St. Louis. Soldiers who — what space 20,000 men cover will indorse 8. The larger the parade the more bands will be required, an hence the greater will be the expense, but the committeemen are enthusiastic about their ability to raise all the money needed, and hence no anxiety on that point is entertained. THE SCHOOLS. There will be an application presented to the School Board at its next meeting by the committee, consisting of Rev. 8. J. Nie- colis, Rev. John Snyder and Geo. D. Barnard, for consideration of the proposed holiday for the children, and exercises at the schools on the preceding day. The committeemen ex- ect favorable consideration of their request. he children are looking forward as the pian was already determined upon, and are expectant of great entertainment in the exer- cises and holiday. THIS AFTERNOON the General Committee met in the reading- room of the Merchants’ Exchange, but trans- acted little business as the sub-committees were for the most part unabie to make reports on the work entrusted to them. Secretary John 8. Moffitt is sick, and was unable to attend so that the responses to the circular letters sent to various organizations were not presented. THE CARPENTERS’ STRIKE. A Kefusal to Go Into Conference With 135 ot the Bosses. The largest meeting of striking carpenters held since the walk-out was made took place at Central Turner Hall this morning. The halls, corridors and ante-rooms were packed, and many could not get in the hall, Vice-President W. H. Klwer made his usual address of en- couragement and reported the progress of the strike. The carpenters’ council reported that 185 bosses had been heard m who would acceed to the demands of the strikers, 40 cents an hour and eight hours to constitute a day’s work. Sixty-six men had been called off of their jobs yester- day and only seventy-five carpenters were re- ported as working in the city. The President of the Bakers’ Union appeared before the meeting and said the union met last night and by unanimous vote it was decided to as- sess every member 560 cents for the mainte- nance of the strike. This is areturn for the favor done the Bakers’ Union in Chicago by the Carpenters’ Union when the bakers were on a strike. The dent of the Carpenters’ Union in East St. Louis aiso appeared ore the mecting and said the car- penters in East St. Louis were ready to be called upon for an assessment at any time,and would do all they could to maintain the strike until it was settled in favor of the hood. A vote of thanks was tendered to unions. A communication from the unions at Wichita, Kan., stated that the reports sent out over the coun- trad to enough to buy food. hese to keep away.

digi Young and Beautiful dert Bet Fire to a Butiding to Enjoy the RS ia rietta’s Startling Con- ftesston—Remanded to Prison. * Post-Disratcn. oh Ton, Aprii 4.—Summit, M. J., was glbooked yesterday by the revelations of a ein- guler crime. Late on - young and beautiful giris arrested for _ grson on the strength of a story which they told to Justice Kelly when he sent for them the afternoon. They are Emma T. and Henrietta Frances Day. The former is an at- tractive girl of 19, and her sister is described s a plump tle beauty of 18. re weeks ago the Post-office block in Summit was discovered to be on fire in one of the avartments on the second floor. Considerabie excitement resulted, be- cause it was only afew days afterthe Randolph block, ocoupied by seven families and six stores, had been destroyed by fire which was supposed to be of incendiary origin. The fire im the Post-office block was put out without much trouble, and it was then found that some rags saturated with kerosene bad been placed in a closet in the apartments occupied by Mrs Suean Campbell and then set on fire. Fora time the police officials of Summit were puzzled about the affair, but on Tuesday Jus- tice Kelly became convinced that the Day girls knew sometbing about the fire and he sentforthem. They went to his office and when he accused them of setting fire to the Post-office block they confessed. Henrietta, the younger girl, signed the following con- tesslon, which was taken down by the Justice: HENRIETTA’S CONFESSION. „My name is Henrietta Frances Day. I am ~~ years of age. On the evening of March 23, my sister, Emma T. Day, and myself, entered the apartments of Susan Campbell, in the Post-office block, Union Square. We found a baby asleep and snoring.

Dr. Mulhall asked if a technical explanation of this mode of treatment was desired and Mr. Garesche replied: ‘‘No, nothing technical. I wouldn't understand it and I'm in the same box with the jury. They then went into another branch of the case. Notes. A pro forma degree of incorporation was granted the Missouri Club. D. L. Carpenter took judgment by default against E. L.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 4.—Edward Dietz, a laborer, who resides with bis wife and family on Craig street, below Center avenue, killed one of his children, a little girl 8 years of age, and then cut his own throat. The deed was the outcome of a quarrel petween Dietz and his wife which started last night. Mrs. Dietz swore out a warrant for her husband’* arrest for assault, anda constable was sent after him, but he drove the officeraway. Mrs. Dietz was afraid to return home and this morning, with two officers, went to the house and found the doors barricaded. They were broken open and upon going up-stairs a borrible sight met their gaze. Lying on one bed was the littie child with her throat cut from ear to ear, and on another bed was Dietz with a gaping wound in his throat and arazor tightly clutched in his hand. Both were dead. The crime had evidently been committed early in the night as the bodies were cold. Mrs. Dietz was so terribly shocked at the horrible affair that she is quite ill. The murderer and suicide was 45 years ot age. He was a German and was the father of several other children, who, fortunately, were not at home, or they might have shared the same fate as their little sister. A mania of suicide is prevalent here. Within the past week nine attempts at seif destruction have been made and six of them were successful. Boys’ Suits in the Great Cut-Price Sale in ¢ the Globe.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 4.—A movement is on foot, in which it is said all the prominent coke manufactures are interested, to organize the old coke syndicate. The purpose of the new organization is to raise the price of coke to at least $1.25 per ton and adhere strictly to that figure. When the old syndicate disbanded, about a year anda half ago, the price was at that time as high as $2 8 Since that the various dealers have n cutting the price until there was no money in it at all, some of them selling as low as $1.15 and $1.10 per ton. To offset this the Coke ucers’ Association was formed. This, however, only included the smaller manufacturers, none of the big Gealers being connected with it, and it bas = we very little if any influence on the market.

Charles F. Deems’ Article Discussed—The Views of a Half HE SunNpay . Post- DISPATCH printed a letter from Dr. Charlies F. Deems of New York on ‘‘ Bonnets and Sermons,’’ which has caused a good deal of attention in St. Louis and started the minis- tera talking about a subject that, though not entirely new, has notice so pointediy before, Dr. describes graphically a visit he paid to St. George's Church whilein this city, the impression 2 hani- some bonnet he saw there made upon him. fie 11111 cially to hear, that little piece of a woman's dress, made of material that was soft and lacey on which reposed a cluster of leaves and flowers, of colors that contrasted attractively, held his thoughts and took them away from the actof worship he had come to perform. Dr. Deemsconcludes with an appeal to the ladies to sa reform their bonnets that they will no longer De the cause of inattention at places of public worship and to save their brilliant costumes for entertainments and gatherings where fine dressing is appropriate and relig- ious worship is no part of the duty they have to perform. The clergymen here seem to think that St. Louis is not as much given to gay dressing in church as Dr. Deems’ letter might lead one to believe, ane they contrast St. Louis congrega- tions very favorably with those of other cities. REV. P. d. ROBERT was asked ifhe had seen Dr. Deems’ article and what he thought of it. Tes, he replied, I read it with a good deal of interest, and I was somewhat sur- priséd, not that Dr. Deems should have writ- ten, advocating plain dress in church, but that he had been attracted, and his attention dis- tracted by a bonnet. Ido not understand how one can be led away from an act of worship by a bonnet or dress. I’m quite sure that one's clothes would never occupy my attention in cburchy and I think that it the congregation is looking at bonnets instead of listening to the sermon it is because the preacher hasn’t much to say that is worth hearing. Idonotthink that people should dress stylishly when they go to church, not because it takes their attention away froin worship, but because it is likely to keep the poor away. Those who cannot wear hand- some clothes are reticent about seeking a place among those who do, even in church, and fashionable dressing may kee them away when they are incline and even anxious to come to the house of God to 1 their religious duty. Peo- pie should dress according to their means, but plainly. Ido not think it is best to come into the presence of God decked in gaudy attire. There are some people who go tochurch when they have new clothes and when those have grown old they stay away until they get more new ones. A few, Isuppose, want to display their fine bonnets in church, but I think that nearly allthe people who dress handsomely in church dress handsomely everywhere.’’ DR. JOHN MATHEWS of the Centenary Methodist Church said: 1 noticed the dressing of the women in my con- 2 more in the South than I do here. here they wear finer and richer fabrics than the women of the North do, and the colors are much brighter. We often talked over the ap- pearance of the congregation when I was in the South, for sometimes, in fine weather, the gathering looked like & congregation of butterflies. And as for bonnets! Why some of the ladies, at least I have been told so, 1 notice such things very little myseli—had the rib- bons on their bonnets — e so that they could lift them all off and put others on, and Iwas told that they never wore the same ribbons two Sundays in succession. We supposed then that the women ofthe Nortb laid. aside their fine dresses when they wentto church, and used thatasan argument with the mem- bers of our churches, but Dr. Deems to have found the same trouble here. I really pay 80 little attention to the people in the congregation when lam preaching that I don’t know what they wear, but I think itis best for them always to dress plainly when they go to church, for the one thought which should occupy their minds is religious worship, and anything that takes the attention away from that is out of place. The rule I myself follow is to dress so that I will not attract or invite criticigm from either side; from the rich because I al poorly clad, or the poor because I am richly dressed.’ DR. P. J. GREENE of the Grand Avenue Baptist Church said: ‘‘I think you might put a dozen ladies before me in church, and I would never notice what sort of bonnets they wore. I might notice that their hats were made of fine material, per- haps, butI surely would not sto to think about them and they certainly would not take my attention away from worship. IfIsawa woman in church, who was dressed in such a to attract attention, I should sorry for her, and that would be the end of it. Ido not know much about the fine 8 of church-goers. I have heard that the Fifth Avenue churches of New York are fashionable, but there is no such thing asa fashionable church in St. Louis. I know of no cnurch here that would be foolish enough to call itself fashionable. Gay dress- ing is the result of lack of refinement, and while I approve of ahy dress reform that will conduce to chea news or health or a pleasanter appearance, do not ink Dr. Deems can bring about a reform that willrid us of conspicuous clothing and head-dresses. As people become more cuilti- vated and refined they become plainer in their apparel, their manners, address and every- thing. But there isa class of people which knows nothing but money. These folks know no difference between good and bad dressing, in fact they know no difference between any- thing and anything else. 4 2 my congre- 882 the ple dress 2 * vou were to pio ont the ric eir dress, they on d be the last 8 A would choose.

A woman is natu- rally fond of dress and jealous of her taste in his regard. she attends church and sees a more fortunate sister it elegant attire, whilst her own is plain or not exactly new, she will feel very badly and embarrassed at the contrast be- tween herself and the acquaintance in the ele- gantsuit. Inthe houseof God this feeling should not be allowed to arise, and it is for this reason alone, notfor the idea that a bon- net could not prove a distraction from prayer that I think a dark and quiet dressin should be arule with women at church. owever, it is a matter with which clergymen have nothing whatever to do. The Christian woman Is thoroughly able to take care of her own conscience in regard to bonnets proving a source of distraction. I think the ladies will have to settle that question themselves without the interference of the ministers. ’’ A PROMINENT CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN, in speaking of the bonnet in church being a distraction, said: It is not a subject which the clergyman should discuss or interfere with. In our churches we dave the altar, music, flowers, everything to decorate with beauty the house of God, and with those em- blems of glory about I do not think a ä bonnet would prove a_ distraction any woman. The decree of the — is of course that a woman’s head should be cov- ered in church, but that is all the farther religion teaches and it is nos compatible with a priest’s duty to inter est himself deeper regarding this especial matter. A woman who is devout will not be distracted by a bonnet in church. some parts of Europe, particularly in France, the ladies have a very quiet way of dressing for church. They wear dark dresses and veils, but it is everything in custom. In en- tering an earthly court or going before any imperial Prince a woman would naturally wear her choicest and most elegant toilette, and in entering a church it ts golng in the court of God Therefore eac person, according to her station or purse, sbould attire herself in the best cloth- ing she possesses, but this does not necessitate gay dressing by any means. How- ever, it is a matter entirely that should be de- cided by the women themselves, and itis out of a clergyman’s sphere to give ‘his opinion. — Births. — .

The Browns easily vanquished Horace Phil- lips’ Pittsburg Leaguers yesterday afternoon at Sportsman’s Park by a score ot ö to 1. In the first inning the Browns scored two runs. O'Neill reached first while Latham, who was on third base, was being run down between that bag and home. Comiskey’s fiy to left, which Nicholis misjudged, enabled O'Neill to score, and the Brown’s captain came in on Boyle’s hot grounder which Dunlap let pass through his legs. In the third inning Fuller was given a life at first by Smith’s juggie of his hot grounder, and O'Neill hit safe to Kuehne and both scored on Boyle's drive to left center and Sunday’s poor throw to third. Boyle scored on a wild pitch. The visitors made their only run in the second inning, when Dunlap and Coleman were given their bases on balls and the former scored on Kuehne’s long drive to left. With the exception of Latham, the Browns put up a perfect fielding game. Freeman pitched and only four hits were made off him. A similar number was accredited to the local boys off Galvin’s de- livery, but the visitors piled up eight flelding errors. The Clevelands Te-Morrow.

De Wolf Hopper, the comedian, is to re- spond to the toast of the The Base Ball Crank,’’ at the Spalding reception in New York, The St. James Gazette of London, really thinks there is an N for a new game in Engiand, and hopes that base ball may meet the demand.

With Rowe, Dunlap, White and Conway in the Pittsburg ranks the Smoky City team as sure as shooting will make it lively for all the other League clubs.

The New York “*Bookies.’’ Racing is evidently interfering with the oc- cupation of what is called ‘‘the gambler,’’ says the New York Herald. The fact is, there are few, if any, gamblers nowadays. The old time gambler was a man who always played a ‘*square’’ game at anything, depending alto- gether on his skill, knowledge and tempera- ment to collar the shekels of the tyro. Ali this is changed for the worse. The men now dubbed ‘‘gambliers’’ are generally two-card faro dealers, bunco men or cold deck poker players. Some ofthese fellows have, after doing the State service, drifted into book- — 22 Many of them never earned an honest dollar in their lives. The city authorities, un- der direction of the Mayor, bave closed up the book-making rooms. There are many dire threats and much gnashing of teeth thereat. These city ‘*bookies’’ lay the blame for the action of the authorities ,upon the officers of the jockey clubs. Of course this is nonsens- ical. The officers of the jockey clubs have had no more to do with the action of Mayor Grant and Super inte ndent Murraythan hasthe Shah ot Persia. Notwithstanding this, however one of the bookmaking Peters has had printed a circular showing the alleged profits of the different metropoitain jockey olubs, and has distributed it through the mails and on the highways oftravel. Ofcourse the whole thing is a table. It is also bliackmall. Take, for instance, the New York Jockey Club. Its track is not completed, and no ee! bas ever been beid upon it- Yet this gambler’s circular puts its receipts at $770,500! If the New York Jockey Club takes in thatsum in five years it will be doing fairly well. New Orleans Races.
