When the body was picked up by the persons directed by Sheriff Dosenbach to place it in the wagon for conveyance to Clayton Bow- man’s right band was in the right-hand Outeide pocket of his overcoat. The haod was in that pocket when the body was laid upon the cotin the Oourt-house at Olay- ton. Ella MeLaughlin, employed as a domes- tic im the family of B. M. Chambers, testified at the inquest yesterday, and at the prellmin- ary examination to-day, that before Chambers fired she saw Bowtan put his right band — -back, and she presumed he was trying to get a *. N * a 4 * * . * ole arevoiver. Frank Jenkins, a colored man employed on the Chambers place, was near by when the shooting occurred. He said yes- terday at the inquest and repeated to-day that before Mr. Ohambers fred and after he had ordered Bowman off the place, Bowman turned himself slightiy and threw his hand back as if to geta weapon. No search of the body was made by anyone authorized to make a search, or any other person known, between the time of the shooting, at 1:30 o’clock Monday after- noon, and 8:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when the Coroner and jury were sworn over the body of Bowman. THE ANCIENT IDEA in regard tothe treatment of bodies of per- sons who die a violent or mysterious death ob- tains in the country. The removal of the body to Clayton by another person than the OCor- Oper Was a great violation of the law of cus- tom; but after that the proceeding was after the ancient roles. No one was allowed to touch the body unt the jury had been sworn. The examination was made dy the jury at that time. No weapon Was found. The Coroner took possession of the petty trifies found upon the body, and re- fused all persons a sight of them. These trifles, it was ascertained, were a Waterbury open-face watch, a pair of eye-giasses, a bottle of medicine, a bunch of keys, 48 cents, a diamond pair of studs, a pocket-book, a laundry ticket, one large key, exceptions to the réferee’s report in the case of F. J. Bow- men vs. Britton A. Hill, and two pawn tickets. THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. Thies morning at 11:30 o’ciock the prelim- mary oxamination of Bartholomew Maziere Chambers, charged in a Warrant issued by Justice M. B. Greensfelder, with wilfully, feloniousiy, premeditatedly and with malice ' sforetbougdt, killing F. J. Bowman, was be- before Justice Greensfelder. This war- ' Pabt was losued on the affidavit of John R. " Warfield, the Prosecuting-Attorney of St. Louis County, before the coroner's jury had ed a verdict, and was served on B.

GARRETT’S MEMORY RETURNING. In the statement made to reporters and to the Coroner yesterday, Garrett said nothing about Bowman having hie handsin his coat ~~ This were ym after he bad learned at when Bowman’sright band was in his rlent side pocket when the body was picked » be bh an addition to his memory.

The testimony was continued to a late hour this afternoon. realized that man further. The Inquest. Late yesterday afternoon the inquest, part of which was given in the Posr-DIsPaTCH yes- terday, was completed. Miss Ella McLaughlin, employed at the Chambers residence, was a witness of the shooting. Miss McLaughlin is a young lady of prepossessing appearance, wears gold spectacies, dresses 7 an d is withal pos- seesed of considerable intelligence. She told ber story very piainly. ** Yesterday afternoon two men drove up to the house in a buggy. she testified, and when I stepped out on the porch one of them, the deputy Sheriff, asked me if Mr. Chambers Was at home. Ireplied that he was end went upstairs end called Mr. Chambers. He came Guwn ahead of me, and I saw bim 80 to the door and speak to the officer. went into the house, and a few minutes latersaw the deputy standing alone. A few minutes later m — attention was attracted by hae talking. and I went to the door and saw „Chambers with bis shotgun—it was raised — he said: Be off this place!’ He repeat- ea ‘Leave this place“ several times. The man did not go, but put his hand back as if he was going to get something out of bie pocket. It was his right band. r. Chambers then fired, and the man fell. In reply to a question Miss McLaughlin said she believed that the contents of the gun fired struck the man who fell.

New Tonk, Oct. 26.—Many people from &t. Louis are in town, and yesterday they were all talking of the killlag of Frank J. Bowman by B. M. Chambers, who was publisher of the. defunct St. Louls Times, and President of the late Butchers’ & Drovers’ Bank of &t. Louis. The occupants of that little city in itself, the Equitable building, where pi ho 1 an office, also discussed the —— 3 7 man was well remembe count braggadocia „ always his Louis of which had been one of strongest characteristics. The 88. people about the hotels and the members of the St. Louis colony in New York were sot surprised at Bowman’s tragic death. Many of them had some ancedote torelate about the rewarkabie and aggressive career of the not overscrupulous lawyer zall who knew him had predicted that he would die with his boots on. While they were not able to recall any gener- ous deed that he ever did, they could not help but speak in an admiring way of his undoubted ability, his untiring energy and his pluck. But they spoke of these qualities as HFH they had been by a bank burglar. Bowman had bad an office here for about three years, establishing it about the time he married Mise Estelle Platt of Brooklyn, wtose father is Abraham B. Platt a ciothier at 69% Broadway. Most of the time since the marriage Bowman and his wife lived at the Pierrepont House in Brook- lyn. As usual he indulged in self praise, and in other ways made hbimself conspicuous among the guests at the . hotel. He claimed to have remarkable connections with rallroad companies in the West and boasted of his wealth. It is said by people about the hotel that the relations between bim and Mrs. Bowman were not always pleasant, owing to his intensely jealous disposition. Mrs. Bowman is an exceeding! eautiful brunette, with a finely modell * and in public her husband seemed very proud of ber. A year ago last summer they lived atthe Ocean House, at Long Branch, where they at- tracted considerable attention. Bowman drove about in a fine equipage and spent money liberally. This summer Mrs. Bowman went to Europe, and itissaid that she started on the trip at only a few hours notice. She returned afew weeks ago and is now at her father’s house at No. 303 Carroll street, ~~ n.

Instead, his practice was small. He was engaged last winter in Albany asa lobbyist in some street rallroad schemes for both this city and Brook- — and fought against an electric road for Iton street, Brooklyn. One day — 2 while Bowman stood tn front of the Equltabie building, three of his Worstenemies passed along Broadway. Their appearance called forth a flood of reminiscences of the fteud which kept &. Louls "Pina turmoll tor years. One of the men was Stlison Hutchins now of Washingten, but ed- itor of the St. Louis Times, and one Of the most potent factorsin Missouri politics at the time that neand Bowman became enemies. The second was ex-Attorney General Boone who, when Speaker of the Missouri Legisiature, was challenged by Bowman to fight a duel, and the third was ex-Congressman Jo hn M. Glover, who also received a challenge from Bowman. Sentiment in the Oounty. It ie seldom that the’ under dog in a fight wholly lacks sympathy. Frank J. Bowman, mutilated beyond . recognition and dead, worsted beyond all hope in his contest with B. M. Chambers, did not have one friend at Clayton yesterday at the inquest or to-day at the preliminary hearing. The body lay in a Iittie room off the main corridor of the Court-house during the inquest, and all around that room the people of Clayton and the sur- rounding country circulat during the day discussing only his death and the chances of Zee Cha No matter where they came from, from Ferguson way, from Carondelet, from the city, every one had sympathy for Chambers and nota wordof good for Bow. man.

The Hungarian State keeps altogether four studs, says the London Standard, viz., Mezo- hegyes, with 1,646 horses of various breeds; Baboina, with 539 horses, and Fogaras, with 421, both for Arabian horses; finally Kisber, with 509 horses, principally for the importa- tion and breed of British horses, racers as well as half-breds. The State keeps other depots of staflions at different places, having alto- gether 2,300 there in 1887, the latest year for which a return has been prepared, Thr review at Kisber lasted over two hours. The emperor was seated on the covered — une of the open riding- school, and all the erais and staff officers, as wel ell as the milita attaches,were allowed to go where they liked. in order to have the closest inspection of the 9 horses and the whole establishment. is Majesty and the visitors afterward made a round ofthe stables, pasture places and the sest of the breeding establisument. For each couple of mares there is an inclosure of nearly two acres of pasture land, with a stable divided into two parts in the ‘center of it. The mares have their colts and fillies until the lat- ter are taken away to put on a pussta and handed over to the picturesque Esikos for supervision while grazing on the vast plain.

CHICAGO, III., Oct. 23.--Joseph Neville was thrown out of the Criminal Court building last evening, and finally hauled away and locked up on account of some very injadicious speeches which were given utterance dy him. He was slightly under the influence of liquor and became quite boisterous, declaring that he and his friends were members of the Clan- nu-Gaeil, and that Judge Longenecker would not live to finish the prosecution of tne men charged with the murder of Dr. Cronia. He said he did not value bis own life, and before a week passed away Jndve Longenecker would disappear mysteriously. When he en- deavored to force his way into the State’s At- torney’s office he was placed under arrest. Neville was arraigned in Police Court this morning. He pleaded that he was drunk at the time be made the disturbance and did not know what he was doing. He was fined $50 and the justice remarked that that would keep him in the House tf Oorrection until the Cronin trial shall have been completed. I've deen N good deal about the case,’’ Neville said his cell, and bave been up there a good deal, but this is all I know about it. The Journal says that in either State’s Attor- ney Longenecker’s opening speech in the Cro- nin case to-morrow or in the o- idence to be introdueed later on there will be several surprises. A weak point in the case has always been thought to be the inability of the State to show that Dr. Cronin actually sutered the Oarleon cottage on the night of the murder. Regarding this the Journal ears: ‘‘The evidence showing Dr. Cronin’s entrance into the COari- son cottage on the night of the murder will be concingive: Judge Longen- ecker may not ay so in his opening speech, bat at the right time he will rove by good witnesses the follow- ng facts: On the ulcht of May 4 two men had occasion to go to Lakeview to arrange some deal in estate in which they were interested. One of these is an Irish- American and a member of the Clan-na-Gael organization. The other is a reputable Ameri- can citizen. They were detained until a late — and — at the bouse of a friend to pper. — 4 did not get through until after 90 — = on their way home they had to walk by the Carlson cottage, As they passed the scene of the murder they saw a buggy drive up. In it were seated two men, and as they passed by one of the destrians said tothe other as the buggy drove past: See that man on the far side of that buggy? That is Dr. Cronin, the Irish Nationalist.’ As he spoke the words the buggy pulled up. It stopped in front of the Carison cottage. Oronin sprangout and rushed ap the steps as if he had been summoned on a case of great emergency. The man who drove the buggy stepped out and waiked up acoupie of steps. The Clan-na-Gael pedestrian was on the point of hailing Dr. Cronin and speaking to him, but as the latter ap- geome to be in such a hurry herefrained. The oor was opened and Dr. Cronin stepped in- side. The man who drove him there dia not go inside. He turned around from the foot of the step, jumped into the bugey and drove away as fust as the horse could take him. Ail this will be sworn to by the two fcitizens who saw it, and will doubtiess, prove one of the biggest surprises of the case. regard to the eatrance of Dr. Cronin to the cottage will be sensational, no less so will be that regarding the actual perpetrators of * n crime. Evidence willbe produced by es enecker to show thatfour men took part in the murder of Dr. Oronin in the cottage. These four men were Coughlin, Cooney, Burke aod a man who has not yet been either arrested or indicted in the case. The name of the fourth man has not yet been reveaied, but it is known be is not a Chicagoan. SILK UMBRELLAS ($2.50 TO $12). The finest stock in America For both ladies and gentlemen.

LOUIS THE ORIGINATOR. | Not only ie St. Louis more closely related commercially with the South American Oon- tinent than any other city, but the first propo- sition made officially within the last ten years to assembie such a congress emanated from the Merchants’ Exchange of this city. At a convention held in Mobile, Ala. at which nearly every board of trade in the country was represented, and which was attended by several official’ from Mexico and Central America, Frank Galennie advanced the proposition of holding an International American Congress. This was favorably reported, was time and agein brought up, and the present congress may be fairly considered to be the outgrowth of the Mobile meeting. Atl o’clock yesterdayjafternoon a meeting of those interested in tne visit of the delegates to this city was held in the reading-room of the Merchants’ Exchange. President Charles A. Cox called the meeting to order, and in a few well-chosen words explained the advan- tages to be derived from the visit of the dele- gates of the Latin-American States, and the duties of St. Louis as regards hospitality.

As the night wore on tne doctor found bis pile of chips steadily increas- ing, and he weakenec. He did not dare go bome with so much money. He was alone and with the customary suspicion of ambiers ne was to leave the ouse, 80 he kept on playing, hoping that his pile would diminish enough to remove some of the temptation to rob and rhaps murder him. He played recklessly, ut he could not lose. At last, when the day was well advanced and the sidewalks were crowa the tor decided be had had enough™ He took $8,000 in cash and a check for 8, 000.

When it came the turn of the Attorney-General to make the closing speech for the defense, Judge Morris said it was unnecessary and proceeded to give his decision. He said the State ought to roud of an officer like Capt. Howard, a gallant man, who was fully justified in all ne did. The Captain had reas- onabie grounds, continued the Judge, to be- lieve thetthe oyster men were violating the laws of the State. and it was his duty to arrest —4 and under the circumstances he had a ht to use force and firearms.

Theie was a very good meeting of the@om- mittee on Entertainment for the National Bilver Convention at the Lindell Hotel last night, Chairman J. J. Mulally presiding, with J. C. MacGinnitie as Secretary. The at- tendance included such veteran entertainers as Col. J. G. Priest, Andrew Warren, Howard Blossom, J. E. Blythe, and H. A. Orawford, all of whom took an active interestin the ar- rangements to be made. Mr. Warren thought the committee should be greatly increased, and that the very best men in the city should be added to it. Col. J. G. Priest expressed the same opin- jon, but be wanted to have everybody a pointed signify his intention of serving. 2. did not want to have an ornamental commit tod —, _ the committee m t and with it re- mained the work of making the visitors to the “Zz fee) at home. he character of entertainment to be pro- vided wasthen discussed at some — and a banguet, carriage drive and theater party edupon.

NEW Ton, Oct. 28. HE admirers of Mr. Theo. Winter’s fam- ous California 2-year- old colt El Rio Rey were much shocked early yesterday by the announcement made on the ticker“ that the horse was dead. A reporter who was sent to Morris Park, where Mr. Winter’s horses are stabied, found Mr. Winter’s representa- tive, Alf Estelle, in charge with Trainer McOormick. They promptly de- nied that El Rio Rey woes a dead celebrity, but admitted that he was very ill. Last Fri- day they discovered that EI Rio Rey was amiss with influenza, and at once sent for Dr. Shep- herd, the well-known veterinarian. The dis- ease quickly developed into pneumonia, aud by night they had a very sick horse. The danger continued allthrough Saturday and Sunday and it was feared he would die as his brother The Czar did at Council Biufis, early in May when the stable was en route East. Fortunately on Monday there was a change for the better which was continued yesterday, and late in the afternoon EI Rio Rey was seen standing in his box warmly bianketed and beyond ‘‘any immediate dan- ger of death.’’ Previous to the colt’s lliness arrangements had been made to take the stable back to Call- fornia, but itis doubtful:now it they will make the journey. Certainly it would be very risky to take El Rio Rey over the mountains in a weakened condition as he naturally will be, assuming that he recovers. He has an unbeaten record of seven races, worth a total of $46,955, including the,great Eclipse stakes run at Morris Park. Racing at Lexington. At Lexington, Ky., yesterday, the races re- sulted as foliows: First race, one mile—Katie 8. won; Littrol, second; Roxanna Ten, third. Time, 1:46.

Time, More Byrneism, Says a writer in the New York Mail and Express: During the meeting of the base ball moguls at the Sporting Times office the other day when the arrangement for the world’s champion- ship series was perfected, I took occasion to inquire of Manager McGunnigie the cause of tne difficulty which it is rumored will result in his leaving the Brooklyn Olub. The genial manager frankly admitted that some dissatis- 8 existed, but the nature of it he refused to divdige. However, the query was buta formal one, andlanticipated the oe — gave mo. oGunnigle is still in the ayer the Brooklyn management and could il ord to give anything Dutan evasive answer. To the average ball man the reason is only too apparent. President Byrne is a man who is ever courting notoriety. He has an exceed- ingly high 4 of his own personal self. To have had McGunnigie get any credit for the club’s victory might have reflected dis- creditupon the managerial ability of C. H Byrne, „ and to circumvent this the reins of government were taken out of McGunnigle’s hands when the outlook for the team’s success was the brightest and he was forthwith dele- — to ornament the players’ bench, while esident Byrne swelled around in his usual Ae shee yy way. To-day he would have is ferred that had he not assumed the direct management ofthe team. tne championship would have been lost. McGunnigie, notwith- standing the fact that he knows more in one hour about running a bali club than Byrne ever knew, is away in the e bet Asa manager be displayed nis l — he ever became connec with rooklyn Club, and no discredit can I E. be at- tached to him. The club won the champton- ship and as a potent factor in its success O. H. Byrne, Esq., stands out pre-eminent. Had the club been defeated then friend McGunnil- le would have been shoved out in tront to Gene the brunt of condemnatory critism. Brooklyn, 8; New York, 7. The Brooklyns defeated the New Yorks on the Polo Grounds yesterday in the third world’s championship game.

If, on the other hand, Mr. BIanm is serious in his blan- ket policy for the West Indies he will have more on his hands than he can well at- tend to. vk Tae Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says thatin“Pan-American” the prefix “pan” is from an old Saxon verb meaning to unite. To correct the ignorance of its contem- porary the Globe-Democrat says the prefix referred to ‘‘is the translation of a Greek word meaning all.“ Now, if pan“ is the translation of a Greek word, why was it necessary to translate the translation and tell us its meaning in English? — 8 — —_ -_——_ NEITHER the continuation of the kinder- garten nor the extension of the high school systems are issues on which the school election should be decided. The only issue is that of the intelligent and economical administration of the schools so that they will best meet the main ob- ject of the public school system, which is the conferring of the greatest educational benefits on the greatest number of chil- dren. — — — — THERE is no lack of law to compel the Electric Lighting and Motor Company to take proper precautions against acci- dents from electric currerts, but there are many difficulties in the way of enforc- ing the regulations. The necessity of having many regulations would be re- moved by a law compelling the companies to use only harmless currents. In this case under all circumstances the lives of citizens would be safe. 2 , Tue franchise which will be asked of the Municipal Assembly by the East End Depot & Terminal Co. has apparently purposes directed solely to the public good. It contemplates a most important enterprise which will place all railroads desiring to enter the business center of the city on an equal footing. The books of the corporation are to be open to in- spection, and the charges are to be regu- lated entirely by the construction and operating expenses. Should there be an excess in any year it is to be paid into the city treasury. Unless some flaw should be found in the proposed bill which does not now appear it commends itself as a most important and beneficial public measure. ** EMPEROR WILLIAM’sS speech from the throne shows that he is a man of peace who is determined to have peace by con- tinually strengthening his army, ‘‘oon- solidating the defensive powers of the Fatherland,” as he calls it, so that he can sail in, like Mark Twain’s Nevada hero, and suppress all disturbances be- fore tbey are begun and clean out the disturbers before they have struck a blow. He thinks of nothing, dreams of nothing but keeping the peace of Europe by means of his army, and therefore his speech from the throne treats of nothing else, and as- sumes that the army budget should be treated as the price of peace, cheap at any cost. — ——— —— — Unirep States Jupon Drapy of Ore- gon should,for the credit of the bench, deuy that Washington Post interview, in which he is reported as saying that the woman Judge TERRY publicly married was only his mistress; that he, Drapy, predictsa violent death for ber and believes she is only awaiting a favorable opportunity to take his life and the lives of Justice FixzLp and Judge SAWYER, and that with this belief and opinion about her in his mind he is to preside at her trialin November.

He Says He Was Invited te an Engine Pit on- Third Street by a Letter and That a Deadly Assault Was Made on Him—The Alleged Assaflant Retubes to Tell Hix Story—Are Ali Parties Victims of a Lying and Malicious Mischief-Maker? O. HEIMBACH went to the Mayor's office this morning, and after tell- ing bis story to hie hon- or was given a permit to catry a revolver for three months. After „ getting the revolver » permit he expressed his determination to go to the four Courts and get out a warrant for as- sault to kill against Gus Hageman, the engineer at M. M. Buck’s ¢stab- “lishment at 209 North Tbird street, Mr. Heimbach, the agrieved party, ie an en- gineer and manufacturer of light hardware specialties at No. 806 North Twelfth street, and has just fallen heir to some money, how much he would not say. The cause of all the trouble seems to be, from Heimbach’s statement, a woman. The story Heimbach told to Mayor Noonan this morning is in substance as follows: „Last Thursday I received through the mail the foilowing letter: Sir—By calling on engineer at 209 North Third street you will hear something to your benefit and save a great deal of trouble. I know all. If you do not come at once I will be sure to attend to you. Signed, Engineer, 209 North Third. ‘‘Idid not know, then, who this engineer was, but I found out it was Gus Hageman,and the next day, that was Friday, I went down there about II o’oclock. I went to the place and went DOWN INTO THE CELLAR on the elevator, which wept up again and left me there with no place to get out. 1. r was down there and told me he wanted to cut my heart out, or something like that. He then charged that I had done an in- justice to his wife, who, he said, fifteen years ago was a servant in y mother’s house, and he had just learned of.it. I told bim that was not true, and that my word was just ae as his wife’s anytime. He made a pass at me with the knife and cut me on the thumb as I warded it off. Then l was afraid that he would throw medown in that Wheel pit and kill me. I looked around and saw that there was no door for me to get out of, 80 tried to back away. The ceiling was low, and the engine room very narrow. He hit me in the mouth and split my lip, but I got away. Afterwards I found he had cut a hole in my vest and must have done it in the scuffie, as I don't remember when it was done. That is a dad place . down there to get a man into, asit is very. narrow, low and dark, and there is no way of getting out. He has threatened to kill me.’’ ‘*What is this story, about Hageman’ s wilfe?’’ was asked. „Well, I understand that Hogeman has married ‘this girl, and now he is just hearing a story cop nectin my name. with hers, fifteen years ago. f course that is false, as all I know about her is that she worked tor my mother whenlIwas living witn ber. I would not know the woman now if I saw her, and never was intimate with her. ’ A triend of Mr. Heimbach’s, who would not give bis name, but who was with him to-day, said: That man Hageman came to my looking for Heimpbach, but would not tel what his business was; be finally found his address and sent the letter. A Post-DISPATCH reporter went to M. M. Buck’s to see the engineer and was invited down a pit about fifteen feet deep in the alley. The only means of entrance was a ladder fastened to the wall. Gus Hageman, the engineer, was found there working hous his engine. He is a Large German of big build and loaks like a ard man to meet in a tight place. He dis- played a great deal of nervous excitement when told that Heimbach bad obtained a per- mit to carry a revolver and was going to swear out a warrant. When questioned about THE ASSAULT and other points in the case he denied every- thing and would only say that the other day two or three men came down there to do him up and be had a knife he was cutting pack- ing with and that was how it bappened. He expressed a desire that justice should be done and that he be given an opportunity té deny Heimbach’s statements. The other employees about the store knew very little concerning the case. It was the impression of those that heard the story that there was some persons busy making trouble between Hageman and Heim- bach by arousing Hageman’s jealousy by telling him tales against Heimbach and his wife, Which, from Heimbach’s statements, ap- pear to be totally unfounded. That there isa gross misunderstanding somewhere is very evidensfhand it is very —.— that develop- ments will show that eman has been mis- informed and that Heimbach has been the victim of some malicious gossip. THE EASTERN MONEY MARKET. lace One Bright Spot, but the Supply Still Greatly Inadequate. The money market in the East is of a very stringent character. It is very clearly defined by Henry Clews of New York as follows: Call loans average about 9 per cent and rates frequently touch a much higher point. The banks are steadily contracting loans and are unable to Increase their accommodations even to regular customers at less than 6 per cent, 7 er cent being their rate to many patrons. he demand from the interior for regular trade purposes continues to increase, and heavy enipments of currency have again — made during the past week. The most im tant feature of the money situation is that, 10 spite of the large increase in circulation, the latter is not — 4 —＋ = to meet leg iti- mate Grade requirements, but, being mainl in the eba of silver certificates is not e kind which oan be utilized to strengthen Dank rescrves.

The Advocates of State Inspection of Grain and Those Opposed to the Law Before the Board of Directors—Two Conflicting Petitions Rearing the Same Names—A Difficalt Position. — HE question of State inspection on the East side was the theme of discussion among grain receivers this morning, and the out- come of the directors’ meeting held this af- ternoon was a matter of uncertainty up to a late hour. The de- cision of the board will in all probability Gecide the question for the present, but those who are op- posed to State inspec- 4 tion declared that in no case would they sabmit to the rules established dy the Rallroad Commissioners until the matter was tested in the courts. TWO MODES OF PROCEDURE are advocated, one to maintain that the in- spection act, being specialin its application to elevators witha capacity of more than 50,- 000 bushels, was unconstitutional, and the second to hold that the Circult Court had no authority to license elevators in this city, and that without such license the law could not be carried into effect. On thelatter point John H. Overall has given his opin- ‘fon that the Circuit Court has no such authority, and other lawyers have stated that those who sign their names to a petition requesting the Board of Directors to indorse the inspectors appointed by the Chief Grain Inspector were in no way estopped from testing the case in the courts. With this understanding a number of grain receivers expressed their concurrence with the resolu- tions passed at the grain receivers’ meeting on Monday, agreeing to indorse State inspec- tion if four t the present inspectors were appointed by Mr. Burks. MR. OVERALL’S OPINION Tné written opinion of Mr. Overall is in the hands of a leading grain owner, who sent for it this morning, and who has shown it to sev- eral members of the Board of Directors. A number of grain receivers declare that were it not for this opinion they would never have appended their names to the paper agreein conditionally to indorse the State Railiroa Oommisesioners. The action of the receivers of wheat has been presented to the Board of Directors and was considered by them in to-day’s meeting. Accompanying this was a paper — by a large majority of the grain owners indorsing the present board of East S'de inspectors as a whole and declaring thatthe best interests of the market would be advanced by retaining them in office. MANY OF THE SAME NAMES pear on both petitions, which N com.- 8 loates the question to be decided by the Board of Directors. Those who are on both pe- titions justify their course by saying that it is undoubtedly best for Inspectors appointed b the Merchants’ Exchange to contro the elevators in East St. Louis, but that rather than have two systems of grading it would be desirable, until the constitutionality of the State law can be tested in the courts, to indorse the ap- polntees of the State Board, if control is as- sured to the men who bave the confidence of the receivers. Itis, as asserted, a sense of the disadvantages incident to the establish- ment of two grades, that led the majority of the grain receivers to sign the paper recommending the appointment of the Inspectors named by Burks, if among them were included four of the resent force, Several of the leading grain dealers are in eon - sultation with lawyers in reference to the best metbod of legally testing the grain Inspection bill, and in ihe meantime wish to have as little interruption as possible of the ordinary course of business, W hat the directors would do no one was willing to predict, as both the friends of State inspection as mod the meeting held by the celvers on Monday last and those who believe that a straight fight should be made were represented on the board. Charies A. Coz, when spoken to on the subject, sald: have been trying for teveral weeks to find out what the real sentiment among the ain receivers in reference to State inspection was, but have been unable to succeed. The Merchants’ Exchange will probably do what the grain men wish in the matte~, but thisis very hard toascertain. I oe Se believe they themselves know what they want. ‘ie = WASHINGTON NEWS.

LTHOUGH fined in court for the offense, Dr. smart is stil practising medi- cine. He adniits he is not a physician, but con- tinues to trifle with hu man life. And it is the lives of the innocent babes and unknowing young who are unable to protest against the out- rage that are trified with by bim. Fmart imposes on the credulity of their parents and the helpless children entrusted to his unskilifgi hand and ted with his nos- trums, perhaps only to have their lives cut off the bud when with proper skill and care they might de preserved to use- ful manbood and womanhood. That Smart is continuing his practice there can be no question, and he is doing it in direct defi- ance of law and hamanity. There seems to be no protection for the weak, helpless inno- cents whose wrongs cry to humanaityfor cor- tion. DC ENDED BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. only is Smart til practicing medicine, t reputable physicians make the charge that he has cohorts in the City Health Department drumming up business for him, The doctors make the charge that some of the men who bave been placaruing the houses where cases of diphtheria are re- ported have been recommending to the fami- Bes at these houses the employment of Smart to attend the patients, and aleo notifying the quack of these cases so he could send his eir - culars to the people or call on them in person. These statements, if correct, explain one feature of Smart's practice which has puzzied the Ooroner’s office. Every time a case of diphtheria was reported in the city Smart’s circulars would immediately be sent to the house. The Coroner could not account for the Doctor learning the where- abouts of all the cases of this dis- @ase and obtaining his information so promptly too. Ot course if he bas had men in the Health Department working in his iuterest, it is easy to see how he learned of ail these Cases #0 promptiy. The charge is a most seri- ous one and one which demands prompt in- vestigation. DR. THOMPSON , of No. 2818 South Broadway spoke unreserv- edly to a POST -DISPATCM reporter about Smart and his methods. Unt l investigated the matter, said the doctor, ‘‘lLhad no idea that things were run- ning aslfoundthem. I bave bad, of course, a numberof cases of diphtheria and scar- latina, and immediately after reporting one to the Health Department I would hear that Smart had been to see the patient. This naturally made me very curious, and one daylasked the mother of one of my Seager what made Smart call at the house. be said that the man who tacked up the card on the house told her if she wanted a good doctor to get Smart, as he wasa much better doetor than any other and could cure a case of diphtheria much quicker than any other phye clan. She said that shortly afterwards mart called and told her that he could cure the case very readily. Sbe did not accept his services, however, but in several other in- stances | have found that my patients have been tampered with, and was always told that Dr. Smart had been there and given them some of his medicine. **SMART EVIDENTLY ‘8TOOD IN’ with some of the members of the Health De- partment, for it must have been some of these men whotold him where the cases existed and recommended him to the patients or their relatives. In several tustances these people followed the advice iven them and dis- 1 the physician in attendance, accept - ng the proffered services of Smart, butit has also occurred that the the doctor called K err that some of the as ealtbh partment bave been working for Smart, or else the stories of my 12 were untrue, and I have every reason beileve them correct. Or. Fuhrmann bed a case of diphtheria out at2008 Eugenia street, and he reported it to the Board of Health. They sent a man out to the house and be told the THE MAN TO CURE THE PATIENT. I understand the family followed bis advice, but 1 afterwards were glad to change back. Th to be such a common occur- rence that some of the doctors did not report their cases, as they knew that the minute they did so Smart would be recommended in their stead and thus they would iose the er In writing this up you oan state that I say that there are several Goctors who do not re- their cases at ali, at least not until their patient isjust about to die.

Dr. Montgo emiled and in the mildest whole been tran other branch of the service, but 1 have absolute faith in him and denounce any such accusations as those made as absolutely false. As for me, I simply say the whole thing is preposterous, and Dr. Thompson can hear me say so in very plain terms if he will just step around here some time and make the same statements. **How about the statement that many pbys!- cians bold off their reports of cases simply to keep your deputies from putting Smart on to the cases? was then asked of Mr. Francis. That is another ‘whole cloth’ statement. There are alotof these doctors who do not report their cases. Therethe gentieman is ht, but as to the reason why, he is way of. The reason they do not report their cases is that er do not want to lose their ractice by so doing, because many who now that as soon as their cases are reported to this department and the houses posted that other physicians will be cailedin, We are after these men all the time, and I have bere on file several hundred exouses which have accumula in the past six months m doctors who have been found out b us. They give all sorts of cock -and- bull stories about not being certain of the cases, about forgetting and a hundred other peed pleas. The conductof some of these fellows is di- rectiy responsibie for a great many cases which would not occur if they obeyed the law and reported romptiy as then the cases would 0 isolated im- mediately «instead of being kept right ina household of children going to school. Asto the charge against my deputies that is all rot, and I can show my récord on tue quack question, and if I bad the authority Iwould make itso hot for them that they would ive up their tricks in short order. & can be done and easily too. It is absurd to say that 5 1 quack can fight the city ifthe city takes a notion to get after him. How Smart finds out the cases I don’t know, but I know that it ls easy enough for a man driving about in a buggy to aud a dosen or so of our posters every day if he wants to.“ Mr. Francis also said that Dr. Thompson had a persona! grudge against him. RS. DONNELLY, who lives at 2013 Eugenia street, was called upon this morning by a PosT- DISPATCH re- porter, and in reply to a query about Smart remarked: had four children sick with — ee and we had ‘Dr.’ Smart. He heard that we bad some children sick, and called on us. **Who recommended him?!“ „Someone in the Health Office who had heard of him told us. „Was it the man whb tacked up the notice on your house who recommended him?’’ „1 don’t remember. I know that it was some one in the Health Department. They said he had cured several cases. Mrs. Donnelly did not live at her present residence when the chiidren were Ul but lived in South St. Louis.

When the Health Depart- mentempiloye called at the house to tack u the card he also recommended Smart, an said that he was a better maa to cure diph- theria than Dr. Hartmann, and advised them to get him to come. Mrs. Klein, who had by this time arrived, was asked afew questions about the way in which Smart’s services were obtained. „ Wesaw one of his circulars first, which Mr. O’Brien, who used to board with us, had.

FAEGLE, mo lives at 2008 South DeKalb street, had two children ill with croup, and both of them died. She said that Dr. Luts was attendance, bat that Dr. Smart called and offered her his services. She said that the first child died the day after Dr. Smart called first, and he said he had been called too late. A few a afterwards the other child was attacked with croup and Smart was sent for at once. He came right away, butsaid that he had been called too late thie time also. This child died iu a few days, although atthe time Smart was called the symptoms of croup had just begun to show. Did Dr. Lute know that Smart was doctor- ing the children?“ a No; Dr.“ Smart told us not to say any - thing about it. Did he give the children med dition to that given by Dr. Lutz?’ „Oh, yes; be bad his medicines which he gave to the children.’’ Then Dr. Lats was not aware that Smart was treating the chiidren?’’ No; he knew nothing about it, as we never told bim 0.

AND "MBS. FRANKEL’s MATRIMONIAL BONDS. He Charged She Threw Glasses, Pokers and Shovels at Him, but Judge Fisher Said Theat Was Not Sufficient Ground for Divorce—A Motion fer a New Trial Filed in the Lally Case. , RWIN FRANEEL’S suit for divorce against bis wife, Annie Fran- kel, was tried in Judge Fisher’s Court yester- day morning, and Mr. Frankel took a non- suit. On the stand be sald he was married ‘September 10, 1888, and lived with his wife until March, 1889. During that brief pe- riod of married life, he said, bis wife was always quarrelsome and constantly finding some pretext upon which to quarrel with him. About three weeks after the mar- riage, he says, she threw a glass at his head, but it missed him and struck the wall opposite. On another occasion she scratched his face, and often annoyed him at night by keeping him awake and telling him she was not going to allow him to sleep. She would ask him to get up out of bed at night to get water, or go on some errand, and, it he refused, he claims she would kick him or throw some thing at him. Once shethrewa poker at him, and it barely missed his bead. Then she tookapair of shears and went for him, put he caught her by the wrists, and a fierce struggle ensued, and when released her she scratched his face. Mr. Frankelhad proceeded this far in his story when Judge Fisher interrupted him, and said he could not grant a decree. was about to be made a he said, and was not usual disposition and perhaps it her few moments of peevishness were tolerated and some love shown her she would have been more gentie and fewer brawls would have occurred. The couple were still young and would soon see the folly af a life separation such as the prayed for. On such a hint Mr. Frankel too a nonsuit. The only child of the marriage is now 8 months old.

Sisters of the Geod Shepherd Will Baild in Sixty Days. A letter from the Sisters of the Good Shep- herd to Fisher 4 Co. was received by that firm to-day stating that unless pending ne- gotiations for the purchase of their property, bounded by Taylor, Maryland and Berlin avenues, were not conelifded within the next sixty days no offer whatever would be enter- tained fur the ground thereafter, and that steps would then be immediately taken for building the new home there with a view of having it completed ready for occupancy next fail. The ground has not been upon the market for sale since the Sisters of the Good Shepherd bought it, but when they announced durin the summer that mer were going to bull upon the site, and pubiished s picture of the * improvement, the attention of cap- talists and specuiators was attracted to the section, and numerous parties have since been trying to buy the land, nearly a block in extent. It is a splendid locality and so admirably suited for the purpose intended the Sisters the Good Shepard are somewhat loath to part with it, bat yielding to counsel of friends of the institution they consented to sell and buy elsewhere providing they got a satis- facto price, and the consideration of vari- ous offers is what has retarded building oper- ations up the present time. There is one person who has made a bid of $75 a foot for the whoie of the Taylor avenue front, but the Sisters do not consider the proposition favorabiy. They want to sell the whole of the ground or none of it, and say that unless the sale is ac- complished within the time specified they will delay no longer but commence duliding soon as the time expires. The original plan pro- vided for a building witha main frontage on Maryland avenue, covering the entire prem- ises, but this idea has been abandoned. Itis now proposed to take advantage of the lay of the ground by constructing an equally large ballding with a princi front on Tavior avenue, from which the land recedes gently to the Gast, sufficient to make the drainage most perfect at the smallest outiay of money. Terry Bros. & Hart sold a 60-foot lot in Terry place, fronting on the west line of Taylor ave- nue, 68 feet north of Cote Brilliante, at $25 a foot, to Martin V. Greene, the builder, who, having sold his Dusiness in that locality, has already commenced to make preparations to build a house upon the new site. There appears to be quite ademand devel- oping for Morgan street property, and every few days the official records give evidences of a change of ownership on that thoroughfare. To day the sale of % feet, with indifferent im- provements, between Twentieth and Twenty- first streets, is re ed, the consideration being $4,300. TERRY PLACE AT $28.50 a FOOT. Terry Bros. 4 Hart sold the southwest cor- ner of laylorand Garfield avenues in Terry place yesterday at$28.50 a foot. This is the high- est price paid so far for Terry place lots, and this corner is especially valuable for business purposes and is to be improved with a bulld- ing for a drug store and twodwellinus. Geo. H. Wagner bought the ground. P. G. Gerhart & Co. sold a 20x185 foot lot situate on the south line of Bell avenue be- tween Newstead and Taylor at $45 a toot to Samuel Bent. Charles A. Gleason perfected the sale of a 50 150 toot lot, located on the north side of Del- mar avenue, 110 feet west of Pendleton, at $70 afoot, from Joseph T. Donovan to B. F. Nelson.

The Sudden and Viclent Death of a New York Merchant's Son. By Tetegranh tothe Poast-Nreraten. . New Ton, Oct. %.—Jacob Silbermann is silk importer and jobber, with offices at 35 Mercer street d 79 Duane street, and a factory at 466 Tenth avenue. He lives at 10 East Forty-fifth street. His youngest son was Sigmund. He was 22 years of age, fully six teet all, with the figure of an athlete and an ex- ceeding! 7 handsome facejof dark Hebraic type. He was employed by his father as book -keeper and genera! assistant. He was found dead in his room yesterday morning with a bullet hole in his templeand a pistol by his side. Sigmund, according to ali accounts, bad always been of a rave, although cheerful dis- sition. He was devoted to his parents, rothers and bie sisters, and rarely went out after business hours unless in the company of some of them. He was averse to many of the pléasures that attract young men, and was not known to have any love affair. He neither gambled nor drank to excess,and he appeared to be perfectly contented with life. His family is convinced that his death was due to accident. When found Sigmund lay on his back near the center ofthe floor. His feet were toward the door. Theroom, which is large and handsomely furnished, was ia perfect or- der. The bed was undisturbed, and Sigmund was fully dressed. There was no lightin the room which isa curious circumstance, if he killed himself during the night. It seemed to the Coroner that the dung man had been standing up when he was shot, ani that the weapon had fallen out of his hand as he fell back lifeless. A little desk in a corner ofa room, at whieh the young man appeared to bave been sitting was in perfect order. There were no farewell notes and nothing to indicate a purpose of self-destruction. Coroner Levy says he nestionea the brother, the doctor and two of the servante very carefully. The servants slept on the same floor. They had not beard any noise in the night. Neither had any of the rest of tne family. The brother said Sigmund had deen in the habit revo iver. Ha frequently sums of money about rotection. At times too 10,000 in money, besides indorsed checks, from the store to the bank. The brother thought he might have been cleaning the re- volver when it accidentally exploded. There were, however, no materials visibie with which the cleaning could be done. It was possible, the Coroner thought, that Sigmund wight have been handling or examining the weapon, but the location of the wound and the general appearance of the body made him doubt this. Coroner Levy granted a burial certificate and thus officially withdrew from the case. OVER SEVENTY THOUSAND. Recorder of Voters H. W. Williams Talks About Registration. Recorder of Voters Henry W.

Many makes of India and China staplesare well under contract. ucers cover their con- tracts by buying cotton futures or cost, insurance and freight cotton upon samples. These engagements strengthened the cloth market by placiug manufacturers in a compar- atively easy position. There is a steady flow of busi- ness now arising simply from the letting loose of or- ders which were kept in sbevance during the exist- ence of the corner in cotton at Liverpool. There are few important orders for export yarns from the Continent ar Japan. The uncertainty regardin the workning of the Indian merchandise mark ac still hampers buying for India. Cloth is fairly steady. be favorite makes of India and China staples are well under eugagemen Best printers are firm. Heavy makes are quiet but steady. Forcign.

Bosrox, Mass., Oct. 23.—A reporter of the Herald called on Gen. B. F. Butier yesterday and said: ‘‘General, reports are floating about in the newspapers that you are about to write the incidents of your lite and rem!- niscences of public events and the actions o politicians and parties which have come within your knowledge and remembrance forthe past half a century.’’ Gen. Butler: For a number of years I have been advised by friends, nearest and dedrest, in whose fidelity and judgment in everything else I place the most confidence, that, if for no other reason, it is due to myselt and my chil- dren that I should give as full an acoBunt as needful of the incidents of my action in the forum, the field and in politics, so that the exact facts may be known, in justice to my memory and tw my children’s love, and to expose malicious state - ments made? concerning nearly everything i have done, engendered,by the venomous ha- tred of portions of each ores party be- cause I disagreed with both and in the early days of the war of the rebellion largely writ- ten and published both in this country and Kurope and paraded to ‘fire the Southern heart,’ asa sort of posterior justification of rebellion and treason. It was also deemed by my advisers that I might be able by the revelation and substantiation of certain polit- ical acts and conduct of some ot the leading ersonages, as 4&4 art of the secret istory of the public not yet made known, throw a light, even though in some cases unpleasant ones, or events, the causes that are now either un known or misunderstood. I also confess that I havea personal desire that the trne inward- ness of the actions of some soi-disant saints, — — and generals who have figured so romantically inthe history of the greatest occurrences in the lite of any pation, as peddied out to magazines AT SO MANY PENNIES A LINE, shall be set right by an impartial statement of the true facts and incidents of their careers. And for _ still higher reasons, that far-reaching foresight, upright motives and patriotic endeavors which moved other and great men to do everything, suffer eve thing and accomplish everyt ing for their country, shall be also set forth and preserved in the more enduring form of historical narra- tion to future generations, who will read the true history of their country, wherever presented, after the ephemera of the day with the personal illustrations in wood cuts shall have passed away.
