At 5:50 o’clock last even ing the first section of an in- bound freight train, running nearly forty minutes behind time, broke into three sections while running down the Grade that extends from a sharp curve at Sutton nearly to Benton, a distance of about one mile. The engineer was signaled and the first section was stopped nearly at Benton Station.

It was quite dark at that time, rain was fall- ing, the track was slippery and so short a time had elapsed since the first section had come to a stop that no one bad been sent back to warn the trains In the rear. The engineer of the second section, Hage- man, saw the caboose lights of the first section and whistled down brakes, but before the speed of bis train could be reduced appreciably his engine was on the caboose of the first section. Hageman and his fireman, John Frazer, jumped from the en- gine before the collision, and it was fortunate they did. The caboose was telescoped, and several cars of the first section were derailed and splintered. The engine — 2 Mt of stack, bell and boiler covering. e cab was crushed as a match box would be under the biow of a hammer, and the cab roof was thrown high into the air. The engine's tender lost its first truck, and seven succeeding cars— loaded with wheat, cattle and empty beer kegs—were smashed out of any resemblance to cars. The engineer landed fairly in his jump, but the fireman, Frazer, fell badly and received numerous cute and bruises about his head and arms, He was carried to the caboose of the second section, and Dr. Blackmer of Benton attended him. There were a number of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway cattie cars containing cat- tle in the second section, All were unbroken except the firstone. That was derailed and emashed, but the cattle escaped apparently unburt irom the wreck and were soon brows- ing on the sbort wet grass by the side of the track. The explanation of the accident given by tralnmen last night was that the first section was late and the second section passed La- clede, the lust telegraph station, three min- utes after the first section, but received vo warning. Engineer Hageman thought he had a clear track, and as he was behind time, was runnin mye a high rate of speed. He did not see t caboose lights until well around the Sutton en and then, owing to his speed, the grade and the wet rails, was unable to prevent the collision. The outbound track was covered with the wreck debris and no trains out from the Union Depot could get past the wreck. Suburban trains were turned back from Ben- ton and the passengers were transferred to the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway. All ot the night trains of the Missouri Pacific went out over the Frisco Railway. The wreck was not cleared sufficiently to allow trains to use the outbound track until this morning. The first section of the express from Kansas City, due at the Union Depot at 6:45 2 m., was the first train to pass the wrecg.

Chairman Warner then introduced Hon. R. P. Bland, who was greeted with a storm of applause. He spoke as follows: HON. R. P. BLAND. What would be the effect of the free coinage of silver by the Government of the United States? This is nota new question, nor is it lacking Interest because it is not new. The silver question, like the poor, we have always witt us. The free coinage of silver will settie the sliver question and verv greatly relieve the poor. It is said that silveris the money of the poor man. This saying ie not without reason. Silver constitutes for the most part that vast — of money inthe world called subsidiary coins. Germany decreed the gold standard in 1871, frou) 1857 till this decree she was on the silver standard. The United States demonetized silver in 1873, and France limited its coinage in 1874, and finally suspended it in 1679. This hostile legislation broke the parity and since then gold has steadily appreciated whilesilver bas remained stationary or, per- haps, has also slightly appreciated. To emphasize the statement that France, by free coinage, maintained this parity om 1803 kill 1874 let us call sttention to the fact that the demonetization of Germany and the United States did not break the par. That it was not dislocated till France limited the coinage of silver in 1874. It is thus pointed out how one nation alone was able to maintain beth metals at par by the free or unlimited coinage of both at her mints. * it is very generally agreed among writers upon the subject as well as Statisticians who have examined into it that since the demone- tization referred to GOLD HAS APPRECIATED at about the difference between the value of gold and silver bullion. It is also generally admitted that sliver, in silver standard countries, Will buy as much of commodities as before, it not more. It is also generally agreed that the repeal of this hestile legisla- tion by these several nations would restore the status quo. The only question with bi-metalists in our country is whether we should at once repeal our demonetization laws or wait for the con- carrence of the other powers, including Great Britain. It is a significant fact that you will scarcely find a man in public life to-day who will assume the responsibility of contending for the single gold standard. lamin favor of paddling our own cence on this as well as all other subjects. If we have enacted bad laws let us repeal them. Itis not necessary to ask the advice or concur- rence of other countries. Espcolally should we repeal a law that has been so universally condemned as the demonetization act of 1873. As far as I can now recall, every man House of in the protested in utter ignorance of ite effect. The President who signed the act afterward expressed his desire to see silver come again into general circulation as an aid to specie re- sumption, evidently ignorant that his own hand had signed the decree against it, No matter whether the Interested few who en- gineered this legislation meant well or not, it was practically a fraud upon Congress and the Ameriean people. It was a clear-cut prohibition of the coin- age of the standard silver dollar for that had not been named either in denomination weight or standard.

These are startllne facts and must go far in disabusing the popular mind of the fallacy that silver is cheap—that it has depreciated— when in trutn and in fact it has not depreci- ated but just the reverse. But we do not insist on the single standard of either metal. We demand the MONEY OF THE CONSTITUTION, the free coinage of both gold and silver. If more silver is coined than gold we are not hurt, for there are more than five times the number of people of the world who use only silver as money than use only gold. All our debts, public and private, are legally and morally payable in silver. We have no gold debt nor silver debt exclusively, but a debt payable in gold or silver at the option of — Are we to adopt the Royal Commission idea, Shall we refuse to coin silver free be- cause it will cheapen gold, and thus injuri- ously affect the prosperity of the Aus- tralian gold miner and react on the trade of the mother country?’’ Are we to shut up our silver mines to protect the inter- est ot the Enulish colonies and the mother country? Our gold miners do not ask it. They join in the general demand for equality of sil- ver with gold. As a mining question, free coinage of gold and silver piaces the miners of the precious metals on equal terms. The subject of DEBTOR AND CREDITOR and existing contracts must necessarily enter into this discussion. To go minutely Into it would exhaust my time and your patience. I will say, however, that the free coinage of silver would not have the effect of greatiy disturbing the equity supposed to pertain to existing contracts and to the rela- tion of debtor and creditor. We are not in the same situation as Engiand and most other gold standard countries. Weare not, strictly speaking, on the goid standard. We have halted midway between the gold stand- ard and bi-metalism. We coin silver that is a full legal tender for all debts, public and private. e have no obligations that are not payable legally and morally in silver. Silver, therefore, performs part of the func- tions at least of measuring the Value of our standard of money. NO LIMIT GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I want to add but one word more to what I have said and that is upon the subjevt of limited coinage. 46 long as there is a limit, I don’t care where you place it, upon silver going to the mints of this country it will be at a discount necessarily.

But when any portion of it is denied that right—when any part of it can not be thus received at the mint and exchanged fr a dollar, that part of it its depre- ciated right then and there—{cheers). have instanced in this paper that I have read the fact that, notwithstanding the demonetization of silver by Germany first and the United States afterward, that it did not lose its parity with old until France, through the Latin Union, pl a limit—they did not suspend it— but limited its coinage for such an amount for three years in every four, but the very mo- ment the limitation placed upon its coin- age was removed it began to seek power and equality with gold and began to rise. It was in 1879 that it was finally suspended in France, but that limitation broke tne chain, and every limitation, however slight it may be, will continue that broken link. I say, let this great Government, constituting as it does more intelligence, more activity, more courage in population, more dominance in its will, more aggressive in its prosperity and ability, than all of Europe combined, are where our mines are situated, rich in gold and ellver, in the name cf a martyr I say let it be free atthe mints and let it be treated alike.

LEFT OUT IN THE COLD, Delegates to the Pan-American Oongress Who Fail to Get Lecognition, WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 27.—The Interna. tional American conference is beginning to feel the effects of the misconstruction placed by the Governors of several States upon the law authorizing the appointment of delegates to the conference to represent the United States. Underthelawthe President nomi- nated andthe Senate confirmed the ten dele- gates authorized to be appointed. It appears, however, that the Governors of several States were under the impression that they were em: powered to select delegates. Some time ago the State Department became aware of this misapprehénsion through the receipt of let- ters from the persons who had been duly ac- credited as delegates by the State authorities, asking when the conference would meet, what their duties were to be, and generally for in- structions. To such of these persons as addressed the department in this way reply was made in- forming them of the lack of authority for their appointment and acquainting them with the true state of affairs. The department, how- ever, evidently failed reach all of the per- sons Interested, for from day to day since the conference began its sessions gentiemen have been calling at the headquarters and present- ing credentials and letters of appointment made out by the Governors of States. The chief executive of the State of South Dakota made haste to appoint a delegate who got here in advance of several others from older States in the Union. When the Conference twas in session Monday the old gentieman walked into the room, seated him- selfat the conference table, and for thre hours sat listening intently to the mixture o anish and English which fell trom the lips of the delegates who were discussing the rules. As be left he explained that he was a delega from a Western State and evidently to be present atthe next session as he was eareful to inguire when it would take The last comer dropped into quarters yesterday, and, as he was officer in charge was at some trouble to satisfy him that he was not, as he had sup „ an authorized delegate to the conference.

By Telerravh to the Post-DisPatcu. 1 EW YORE, Nov. 27.—Efforts are being made to consol - idate the Baltimore and Washington ball clubs and place the formerin the League. According to the na- tional agreement the change must be made this month if at all. The scheme has been quietiy worked since the Brooklyn, Cincin- nati and Kansas City clubs seceded, and it now turns out that the visit of Manager Bar- reat deal to do with it. He admitted that the Washington deal was well in band and that developments would follow very soon. The principal owner of the club was seen and said he was negotiating with the Washingtons and hoped the deal would go through all right. Mr. Hewitt wants too much money, but is willing to consolidate. The Baltimore club wants to buy the franchise. When the three clubs jumped the Association, the Balttmores Saw that the organ/zation was demoralized to uch an extent that they must seek anew field, and they set about to get hold of the strongest rope. The club had lost money, and no other al- ternative presented itself but to get into the League at the meeting in this city. As already stated, application was made to get into the League, and Washington was selected as the fighting ground. Since then the chief backer as been in communication with President Hewitt and has not only visited Washington, but has been visited by Mr. Hewitt. The Bal- timore club made a proposition to the Wasb- ingtonsto purchase the franchise outright, or to consolidate the two clubs. President ‘Hewitt did not like this, but said that the Washingtons would be willing to play ona co-operative system, provided the heague ac- qulesced. The object of the Baltimore Club was to get the League to recognize the club as the eleventh member and to give it permission to play balf the scheduled games in Baltimore and balf in Washington, and should either city show that it was the better place for the games the majority were to be played there. President Hewitt was in this city on Monday and yesterday was in Boston. He came to sound the representatives of New York and Boston on the co-operative plan. He got but little encouragement in this city. The Botherhood’s Movements. Not only have the Brotherhood secured Latham, King, Boyle ahd Milligan of the Browns, but, according to a statement made by the first named at Kansas City yes- terday, Tip O'Neill is also to join the ranks of the players“ organization. Robinson will probably be found in the list, and, in faot, it is pretty certain that he signed a con- tract several days ago. Mark Baldwin in addition to signing his old catcher, Jack O'Connor, yesterday, will in all probability get Bug Holliday of the Cincinnatis. The Bug layed for $2,800 last season but Stertr has of- ered him $3,000 forthe coming year and the Brotherhood bids $200 higher for his services. Henry Staley of Pittsburg announces that he will sign a Brotherhood contract, so wiil Bill Brown, New York’s catcher; Fred Car- roll of Pitteburg, Pitcher Clark of Omaha and first-baseman Tucker of Baltimore, In fact, the Brotherbood appears to be getting all the best men in all the Associations, and the new League prom- ises to be the only organization of any conse- quence in the country next season. The American Association is almost a complete wreck and the National League is but little better off. Of all Association clubs, St. Louis romises to be the worst sufferer so far as osing players is concerned. — —— — TO-MORROW-'“S STEEPLECHASE, Sketches of Some of the Runners Who Will Participate. HE M. A. A. C. Steeplechase takes place at the Fair Grounds to-mor- row at3:30 p. m., over the regular steeple- chase course, a dis- tance of four miles, with twenty hurdles and water jumps. All the crack local dis- tance runners have entered and the races will come off, rain or shine. G. M. L. Sacks of the Manhattan Athietic Club of New York will act as referee and Danie! H.

C., first made his ap- pearance on the cinder-path in 1887 at the mid- summer games of the M. A. A. C., competing in the one-wile race. Although he did not win he made avery creditabie showing for a beginner. At the game of the St. Louis A. A. A., which took place at the Fair Grounds a few weeks later, he won the one-mile race from the 100-yard mark, beating Cahill, Ring and O’Tool. He also won the balf-mile race at the M. A. A. C. fall meeting October 16 of the same year. On March 5, 1888, starting next to scratch in the Missouri’s cross-country run at Forest Park, he won second place from a large ficid. On September 2, 1888, at the Irish Nationalists’ wames at the Fair Grounds, he won the mile and the quarter-mile runs, and distinguished hinfeelf one week later at Sporteman’s Park by winning the Western championship for one mile. On August $1 of this ear, at the Wanderers’ games in Chicago he started from the seventy yards mark in the one mile and won a reat race in 4:364, beating Baker, Brown and ficcollaugh. At Belleville, on October 27, he ‘did a grand performance by winning the five- mile run from the scratch, beating Hunn and Hitebings. He also won the one-fourth mile on the same day. FRANK W.

ATCHISON, Kan., Nov. 27.—The report of Insurance Commissioner Wilder to the Gov- ernor, which has caused so much stirand ex- citementininsurance circles of the country on account of its attack upon wildeat in- surance companies and fts free use of language in connection with so-called boodiers of the Legisiature, whom he charges with having been bought by wild-cat agents, has been taken up by the fraternal beneficial societies and made a cause of resentment on account of allusions in the report to their class of life insurance. The chief cause of anger is a newspaper clipping incorporated jin the re- port, in which the editor of the paper reflects upon all societies which parade the word „honor“ asa part of their title, the particu- lar order referred to being the ‘‘Legion of Honor.’’ The report was brought up in the congress of fraternal beneficial societies held in Boston a few days ago by W. D. Gilbert, representing the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Kansas, und wasreferred by the congress to a special committee of five, with Mr. Gilbert as cnair- man. The committee made an elaborate re- port, closing with a resolution calling upon the Governor of Kansas to remove Commis- sioner Wilder from office. The matter has been the subject of general newspaper discus- sion in the State, and the committee’s full report is for some reason withheld from pub- lication. The following is the language of the resolu- tion with which the report closes: ‘*Regoiyed, That we condemn the language used by Commissioner Wilder as embodied in bis official report referring to fraternal beue- ficial societies, and repudiate the imputat ions therein contained and recommend to the fra- ternal societies of Kansas that they take im- mediate action requesting the removal from office of Commissioner Wilder, and that a copy of this report and resolution be for- warded to the Governor of the State of Kan- sas.

Judge Woerner Holds He Is Powerless to Compel the Production of Alice Jack- man or to Issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus for Her—He Probably Will Not Fine Mr, Taylor—A Queer Complication. HIS morning the Alice Jackman case wae again before Judge Woerner in the Probate Court. The Court gave its decision in regard to compelling the pro- duction of the child and her turning over to W. H. Brothers, her newly appointed guardian, and also in regard to issu- a writ’ of habeas corpus to have her released from her abductors and transferred to Mr. Brothers. Judge Woerner decided that he had no power either to compel Alice Jackman’s production or to idsue a writ of habeas corpus for her recovery. The only other thing done in the case was the examination of John G. Taylor, the child’s uncle and former guardian, to learn whether he had been guilty ofany contempt of court in connection with the girl’s ab- duction. While the court reserved its decision on this point until Monday Judge Woerner stated that at present he was of the opinion that Mr. Taylor was not guilty of any contempt, and would not require him to give any bond for his appearance in court Monday, when the decision will be formally rendered. It was considerably after 10 o’clock when the case was called. MR. TAYLOR WAS PRESENT with hie attorneys Messrs. Lodge and Moss, butthe members of hisfamily who were in the court room at othercallings of the case were conspicuously absent. Attorneys Estes and McOann were on hand for the other side, and so were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Brothers and a number of thelr sympathizers, principally of the gentler sex. When the case was called Judge Woerner stated that after reading the law his mind was not changed as to his power to have the child produced in court. The Court could appoint a guardian forthe child, but had no power to compel her production in court, Although a case was cited in which a writ of habeus corpus had been issued in such a case, he doubted very mucb the court’s power to issue such a writ, and thought that in this case, in which one haa been allowed, it was really unconsti- tutional. THE COURT ¢ was therefore powerless to elther compel the production of the child orto issue a writ of habeas corpus. It had the power, however, to punish forcontempt of court, and if Mr. Taylor had been guilty of such contempt of court as the testimony ofthe Sister from the House of the Good Shepherd would seem to indicate, he would be punished. The Sister’s testimony would ihdicate that Mr. Taylor had been connected with the child’s abduction and if such was the case he was certainly guilty of contempt. ‘ Mr. Lodge said he had Mr. Taylor in court to answer any questions the court might desire to ask him. The Court said that it devolved on Mr. Tay- lor to clear himself of hia apparent guilt and that bis own counsel must examine him. Mr. Taylor was placed onthe stand. Mr. Lodge requested him to state to the court how he cametocall atthe House of Good Shep- herd on Sunday morning, as testified to by one of the sisters of the Institution. Mr. Taylor testified that he arrived home the previous Saturday night and learned that little Mamie Jackman, a sister of Allie, had been sent to the House of Good Shep- herd preparatory to taking her to the school of the institution. at Normandy. On Sunday morning be sent for Mr. Ai Spink,and they drove over to see Mr. Lodge They stopped at the Houseof Good Shepherd on the way over to Mr. Lodge’s residence, as the witness wanted to arrange for paying for her keeping. While there the sister asked him if he was not ALICE JACKMAN’S GUARDIAN. He said he was, and she said that there bad been some talk of placing her there, and wanted to know ifshe should receive: the should she be brought there. her to receive her. when she would come, he said he did not know. Atthetime he had no idea oi abducting the child, and was not caiculating on such an occurrence when an- swering the sister’s questions. Mr. Taylor denied that he advised, aided, abetted or had anything to do whatsoever with the abduction and at no time since she was taken had her in his keeping. He last saw the child that Sun Gay, as he and Al Spink drove by Mr. Brothers’ house on their way to Mr. Lodge’s residence. Spink called his attention to the fact thatthe child was the window and the child waved ber hand him. There was a titter by Mrs. Brothers and a number of her lady friends who were in court. On cross-examination Mr. Taylor said he told the sister that Alice Jackman might be taken to the House of Good Shepherd at any time, because his wife had told him that the child’s brother, Tom, had been to the bouse ofthe witness and had stated that he intended taking Allie from Mrs. Brothers, as he had learned some things about Mrs. Broth- ers which he did not like. The witness told his wife he did not want Tom Jackman to take the girl from Mrs. Brothers. The witness when asked if he had made certain remarks to the sister at THE HOUSE OF GOOD SHEPHERD replied that he did not remember dis- tinctly what he did say, as the conver- sation was of a desultory nature. The witness did not know whether his son-in-law, Charles Spink, had abducted the child. He had not spoxen with Mr. Spink for weeks concerning Alice Jackman and never at any time intimated to him that he would like to have possession of the girl. The witness had studiously avoided asking bis son-in-law any questions concerning the giri’s abduction despite the fact that he had read in the wees + get that Charles Spink had abducted her. e did not countenance the abduction and if his son-in-law had any hand in it he did not want to know it, so purposely refrained from speaking to him aboutthe matter. The court also examined the witness at length. 4 The court said that he wanted time to pre- pare THE DECISION in the case. He would state that there was nothing inthe testimony of Mr. Taylor that was inconsistent with the statement made by the Sister from the House of the Good Shep- herd, and at present it appeared to him that there was no reason why he should punish Mr. Taylor for contempt. However, that was not decision of the Court and he might dis- cover something that would make him change his mind before next Monday, when he would render his decision. He would not require Mr. Taylor to give any bond for bis appear- ance in court at that date, however, but wanted himthere. The questions of compel- ling the production of the ohlld in court and of issuing a writ of habeas corpus to secure her release from ber captors ne had already passed upon, and had decided that the Oourt hed no power to invoke either measure. All the parties then filed out of the eourt ge promising that he would Taylor present next Monday and Mr, Taylor himself giving his pledge to be in at- tendance. MR. BROTHERS’ PLIGHT.

Decision Rendered by Justice McGruder Denying the Right of the Chicago Trust Co. to Buy and Sell the Capital Stock of Another Corporation—Origin of the HICAGO, Nov. 27.— The decision of the State Supreme Court at Ottawa, yesterda; in the case of the People vs. the Chi- cago Gas Trust Co., is a notable one. In it Justice Magruder gives trusts in lLili- nols a severe blow. The validity of the company is recognized and its right to sell and manufacture gas admitted, but the right to buy and sell the capital stock of any other company denied. The power to purchase and hold stock in otber companies, the opinion says, must be the subject of special legisiative action. The general incorporation act not only does not expressly authorize the purchase of such stock, but it forbids it in cases where the main purpose of the corporate creation is other than the purchase and sale ot stock. It the appellee can purchase and hold the capital stock of other gas companies it can hold all of such. The capital stock does not mean a part, but the whole. The Chicago Trust Co. has purchased and now holds a majority of all the shares of stock of the Chicago companies. One of the results of such holding is that the trust company can control tne four other com- panies. ’ MUST BE FOR A LAWFDL PURPOSE. The purposes for which a corporation is formed, under the general incorporation acts, the opinion continues, must be a lawful purpose. So far as the appellee was organized with the object of purchasing and holding all the shares of the capital stock of any gas com- pany in Chicago or Illinois, it was not organ- ized for a lawful purpose and all acts done by it toward the accomplishment of such object are illegal and void. Whatever tends to pre- vent competition between those engaged ina public employment or business, impressed with a public character, is opposed to public pdlicy, and therefore unlawful. Whatever tends to create a monopoly is unlawful, being contrary to public policy. „Ot what avail is it, says the Judge, that any number of gas companies may be formed if a giant trust company can be clothed with the power of buying up and holding tne stock and property of such companies. To create one corporation forthe express purpose of enga- bling it to control the corporations engaged in a certain kind of business, and particularly a business of a public character, is not only op- osed to the publie policy of the State, but is n contravention ofthe spirit if not the letter of the constitution... N 5 ORIGIN OF THE SUIT. . Proceedings were begun abou* a year ago against the gas companies to determine whether under the laws of this State and with- in the scope of their franchises it was their legal right to combine for the purpose of sing the price of gas, and whether they had not forfeited their ohar- ters by 80 doing. Before Judge Baker, the attorney for the Trust held that | the companies had not violated the State laws in that they had resolved on a mutual action for the protection of their interests, and, not having bound themselves by any charter or constitution, they had done nothing 8 Judge Baker’s decision was in favor of the gas companies, and this decision is now re- versed and the case romanded. President Billings of the Gas Trust said the decision would make little difference with them. They shall go right along attending to business, but under an old charter—that of the People's Gas Co., one of the members oe ig trust. The suit will be pressed to a new trial.

Marked Down to $5 FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS. ELEVATED, ELECTRIC AND SURFACE RAIL- ROADS GRABBING FOR FRANONRISES. The Lindell and the Central & Western Want Delmar Avenue—Two Elevated and One surface Road Quarreling Over Broaaway—The Bobtail Bill Being Dis- cussed—The People’s Road Matters Still Unsettied. The Council Committee on Railroads holds a meeting late this afternoon to consider the Lindell Co.’s and Central & Western Co.“ street railway bills, and to hear arguments from all persons interested. The legislation in the case of these two bills will probably become very complicated owing to the fact that the bills conflict and there isa strong opposition on the part of some of the property-hboiders on the portions of the routes selected. The Lindell Railway Co. wants portion of its overhead eleotric wire extension from a point on Taylor ave- nue near or at the intersection of Delmar avenue, out Delmer avenue to a point where De Baleviere avenue would intersect if ex- tended, which is about 3, 000 feet west of the west line of Union avenue, from there the route is in a southwesterly direction to Forest Park. ASKING FOR NEW TRACKS. The Central & Western road, which is prac- tically the old Cable & Western, asks for a track on Delmar avenue from Taylor avenue to the western boundary of the Dorris proper- ty, and from there to Forest Park. It can be seen that both roads are anxious to get the right of way over Delmar avenue from Taylor avenue westward, and that both roads cannot get tracks on the same street. In addition to the opposi- tion thetwo companies are to expect from each other, a number of property holders are making objections to the tracks on the streets and the overhead system, which both roads will have the right to adopt ifthe ordinances are passed. THAT GRAND AVENUE TRACK. City Counselor Bel] will, before the next meeting’ of the Hou Committee on Rail- roads, prepare a written aie concerning the Grand avenue trac muddie. The House is considering the concurrent resolution from the Coun- cil asking the Mayor to stop work on Grand avenue during the time the revocation of that portion of the franchise is being considered. The House is a little afraid of tackling the subject as it does not want to add any more mistakes to the long list of biunders the Assembly has made in People’s road affairs. Mr. Bell said yesterday before the committee annulment of the franchise at this y would certainly involve the city in litigation which would in itself be a great expense and which might result in the awarding of hea damages to the He will give his effect in writin House Committee. What the House will do, however, its still a matter of conjecture, and in any event it will be some time before the Council and House will be of the same mind and come to an un- secon ean as to what will be done with the road. Com mittee BOB-TAILS DISCUSSED. The bob-tail car is being rapidly pushed to the wall, and the majority of the favor is on the side of doubie-end street cars with conductors on them. There was a hearing on the subject last night before the House Committee, and no opposition was presented except by compa- nies using the old-fashioned boxes; every other interest which was represen was strongly in favor of the abolition of the nui- sance. There is opposition anticipated from the street 1 companies, but it is not ex- pected that it will be strong enough to over- come the strong popular sentiment in favor of the immediate passage of the bill. ELEVATED BILLS. The north and south and the Broadway and Seventh street elevated roads have run up against avery obstinate and formidable ob- struction in the dway fight between face road, and the the two elevated roads which want Broadway has been for a time laid aside until the surface road question can be settled.

President HaRRISON’S extreme care to keep the suggestions of his first message profoundly secret to the last momgnt before the reading of the document in Congress, shows thatthe Administration’s programme for the session has been sub- jected to many amendments since the fall elections, and that the work of revision is still incomplete. There can be no doubt that the Repub- lican revolt against MaHONE in Virginia wasacenter shot that utterly deranged the Administration’s plan for the winter. The impudent claims of Manone and of Senator BL x that the Adminis- tration ticket was defeated in Vir- ginia by fraud and violence in- dicating the necessity for Federal control of elections, show what would have followed that electionif the Virginia Republicans had not rebelled against Ma- HONE’S bossism so openly and vigorously. But with so many of the leading Repub- licans in that State glorying in his defeat and pointing proudly to the majority of nearly 50,000 against him as their work, the cry of fraud is done for,“ and Pres- ident HargRison’s whole plan for building up a new Republican party in the South is a wreck. That huge majority against MAHONE was, in fact, the protest of the Southern Republicans themselves against any new legislation to enable the Fed- eral -Executive to control their elections and to foist upon them such bosses as MAHONE and CHALMERS. Ex-Gov. Bullock of Georgia has voiced their sentiments in a recent letter in which he says: If we are forced to de- fend the issue of centralized power in- ‘‘terfering with the domestic affairs of ‘*the States, there will be no possibility of „political growth here, and the reaction ein the North will make certain an oppo- ‘*sition majority in the next Congres- | *“sional election.“ But the Republican defeats in Iowa and Ohio were also protests of a kind not to be ignored with safety, and we have no doubt that they ‘‘knocked the stuffing’’ out of the original draft of the message as outlined in the President’s mind before those elections. What it will be when finally given out he does not himself know as yet, and the probability is that it will make as little impression on the pub- lic mind as the explosion of a 5-cent bunch of Chinese firecrackers. 9 STANFORD’S SENATORS Senator FRrx, of the Senate Committee which has been enjoying the hospitalities of the Pacific roads under pretext of in- vestigating them, announces that the committee has decided that the Govern- ment’s security for the debts due it from the Pacific roads is ample.and that an extension of fifty years should be granted to enable the road to pay off their Gov- ernment indebtedness. That the security is at present, ample ollows as a log ical conclusion the fact that the stock of the indebted roads is to-day worth more in the markets than the aggregate amount due the Govern- ment, although the stock represents only what muy remain of the value of the the property after its sale under fore- closure for the payment of the Govern- ment’s lien. But the debt at maturity will be more than double its original amount, and a fifty-year extension will quadruple that amount. The security thatis ample now may be inadequate then, and the pro- posed extension will prolong the milking process which has diverted the earnings of the road from the payment of their debts into private pockets. When more Stanfords, Huntingtons, Goulds, Crockers and Hopkinses shal have accumulated immense private for- tunes out of the earnings of the roads, built with those earnings new and com- peting lines of their own on which the Government has no lien, and marketed more watered stocks on the credit of those earnings, what assurance have we or can we have that the security will still be ample for double the amount of the present indebtedness, or that the collee- tion of such an amount then will not wipe out more watered stocks and cause more loss to ‘“‘innocent purchasers” thereof, than a forced payment now? — — . ͤ—— —-— — THE American Citizen, the organ of the colored Republicans at Kansas City, is doing a good work in calling attention to „the duplicity and treachery of the great ‘*mass of white Republicans towards the ‘‘negro, regardless of section or looality.““ A striking illustration is found in the scratching of Mr. BROWN, the negro nom- inated by the Republicans at Topeka for County Clerk. His nomination was con- ceded to the colored element of the party, which furnished 1,700 of the 4,280 Repub- lican votes in the county. But at the election Brown received only 2,006 votes, which was but 47 per cent of the Republi- can vote cast. He got the} 1,700 negro votes and 306 of the 2,580 white Republican votes. Seven out of every eight white Re- publicans scratched Mr. BROWN, saying „they would not vote for a nigger under any circumstances.” And this occurred at apital of the ‘‘banner Republican MAKER’S use of gates to advertise his big store on the occasion of their visit to Philadelphia. Administration from these Cheap John“ trade tricks. Mr. WANAMAKER bought his Cabinet position at Harrison’s bar- agin counter, and if he 1s now using it in the interest of his own bargain-counters he is at least engaged in a more legiti- mate business than when he was raising money to buy elections. The President and the party that honored and rewarded him for that service can hardly be de- graded or disgraced by the strictly com- mercial feature of his connection with public affairs. _ Tun silver men may complain of the kind, but they certainly canpot complain of lack of variety in the weather furnished them in St. Louis. They had rain yester- day and snow to-day. They may get Indian summer sunshine to-morrow.

He also indorses the Louisiana lottery, which is one of the worst blots on our civilization. An Audacious Monopoly. From the New york WORLD. Itis very well known that the Louisiana Lottery Co. is as overbearing and dangerous a monopoly as some scarcely less objectionable corporations in other States. The persons who enjoy the privilege of running the II- censed gambling-shop use the millions they win from the people to buy up the elections, the Legisiature, the courts and the public officials of Louisiana. They own the State, It is necessary that they should do so in order to insure a continuance of their pernicious privilege. The lottery men have the audacity to make no secretof their power or their methods, Alludiag to the intention of the company to secure an extension of its charter for twenty- five years, one of the managers telis a news- paper reporter: It all other means fail, we shall go to the Legislature and offer to pay thé entire State debt, amounting to about $12, 000, 000. That ought to be a winning card.’’ This proposition proves what avast amount of money this dangerous and enticing gambling institution draws out of the pockets of the people, and what a paltry, insignificant amount of money, compared with the re- ceipts, it gives away in prizes. If the people who are simple enough to buy lottery tickets would consider these facts, their eyes would be open to their own folly and the profits of the enterprise would not be as enormous as they are. Surely the citizens of Louisiana ought to have sufficient pride and self-respect to be un - willing to see their State subject to the de- moralizing influences which afflicted the Italian republics of the sixteenth century and France down to as iate as 1836. when the Loterie Royale was finally suppressed. Surely they ought to have manbood enough to revolt against a monopoly which controls the affairs of the State and corrupts the ballot-box, leav- ing only the semblance of free government and making elections by the people a farce. Likes His Cheese With a Stick in It. From the Philadelphia Record. Men have wondered and conjectured in vain about the intimacy of Fresident Harrison and Gen. Sewell, and as to why they stroll the Jersey sands arm in arm and kneel in the Maryland marshes cheek by jowl. But an ex- planation bas come at last. It appears that some years ago State Senator Kirk of Essex County, N. J., taught Gen. Sewell a most delectable and satisfying method of soaking Stilton cheese in old brandy. When the Gen- eral was sent to the Senate a few years later he was allotted a seat beside the intrepid Ben, whom he early initiated into the mysteries of brandy-soaked cheese ala Kirk. It is said Mr. Harrison was so fascinated with this palate tickler that he vowed eternal friendship with its apostie forthwith. The appdintments of several New Jerseymen to official positions by the present Administration are believed to be wholly due to cheese and brandy. | Chicago’s Great Mistake.

The Authorities Still Standing in the Way of Administering the Lottery Law. Crimes Are Committed Under the Very Eyes of the Police and Flaunted in Their Faces, Yet They Go Un- punished, Curious Warrants Which Offer the Defend. ant a Chance to Escape Issued by the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney—William Freudenau Secures a Continuance Until Devember 5-—The Thankagiving Day Bond Rejected and a New One Required —The Law in the Oase Plainly Stated and the Negligence of the Authorities Clearly Pointed Out. 1 HE lottery law is still de- ing violated and the police are making no effort to punish the guilty per- sone. ‘*Culpable negligence’’ isa charge to which the police and others would have to piead guilty. How far the authorities are in the power of the lottery men and why the prosecutions are not be- gun and pushed are ques- tions that might bring out sensational answers. An alleged newspaper continues to print ad- vertisements of lotteries and papers contain- ing the unlawful publications are furnished free to the police, to every station and sub- station. Two warrants have been issued against the psuedo editor, but the President of the com- pany and the business manager have been ignored in the prosecution, and no notice has been taken of recent publications though the sheet has printed more unlawful advertise- ments than ever and flaunted them in the face of the police in bold deflance. The police cannot plead ignorance of this special offense, however good that defense might be in gen- eral, Vice-President Overall has said that each publication was a separate offense, These separate offenses have been called to the attention of Chief Heubler and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes, yet neither of them nas taken any action. THEY HAVE KREFUSED TO DO THEIR DUTY. Why? There must be an answer. The law in the case is clear and explicit. is as follows: It THE LAW. Bec. 1566 of art. 8, of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, amended, reads as follows: It any person shall make or establish, or ald, or assist in making or establishing any lottery, gift enterprise, licy, or scheme of drawing in the nature of lottery as a business or avocation in this State, or shall advertise or make public, or cause to be advertised or made public by means of any newspaper pampbiet,circular, or other written or srint notice thereof, printed or circulated in this State, any such lottery, = enterprise, policy or scheme or drawing, in the nature of a lottery, whether the same is beilug or is to be conducted, held or drawn within or with- ous this State, he shall be deemed gullty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be pun- ished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than five years, or by imprisonment in the County Jail or Work- house for not less than six months nor more than twelve months.’’ The succeeding section applies to all local lottery enterprises. It reads as follows: Any person who shall sell or expose to sale or cause to be solid or exposed to sale, or shall keep or handle for the purpose of sale, or shall advertise or cause to be advertised for sale, or who shall print or publish such advertise. ment, or shail ald or assist or be in any wise concerned in the sale or exposure to sale of any lottery ticket or tickets, or any share or any part of any lottery ticket in any lottery or device in the nature of a lottery, within this state or elsewhere, apd any persons who shall advertise or cause to be advertised, the d ing of any scheme in any lottery, or who +: rintor publish such advertisement, and ll convicted thereof In any court of competent jurisdiction, shall for each and every such offense, forfeit and pay asum not exceeding 91,00), (Laws 1879, paxe 90, sec. 1. CHIEY HEUBLER has falled and utterly negleuted to do his uty. Mr. Bernard Dierkes is equally guilty, Aside from the fact that he is now a public officer, his aspirations give the public a right to know all about Mr. Bernard Dierkes. Mr. Dierkes is now the Assistant Prosecut ing Attorney of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection, Heaspirestobe Judge and at the next election will be a candidate forthe posi- tion of Judge ofthe Court of Criminal Cor- rection. The president of the company which le work- ing under a contract to commit crime for money is now an office holder and a well - known politician. Under the circumstances it is not such a surprise that Mr. Dierkes should, wnen driven by public sentiment to issuing a warrant, so draw it that not only those who are gulity but notaccused but also the very man against whom the warrant Is directed should be given an opportunity te escape the penalty of their evil doing. Nor is fe surprising that Mr. Dierkes sits calmly back and says that he will not issue a warrant until it is applied for. The law under which he bolas office gives him authority to issue awarranton hisown motion, but Mr. Dierkes says it would not be advisable to obey that law. Whatever offenses come under his observation he would not deem it best ercise that autbority and issue the warrants unless some one asked him to. W hat difference does it make to Mr. Dierkes hat crimes are committed or how much he knows of them? | So long as no one else complains and de- mands the punishment of the criminal Mr. Dierkes doesn't care. It doesn’t hurt him if the law is violated, and if no one else cares to object, why let the criminals go on. Mr. Dierkes was asked this morning if any warrants had been applied for for persons who had violated the lottery law.

Few men in the country have seen more than Hon. Amos J. Cummings, and stin fewer can relate their experiences nearly 30 well, Although a comparative stranger in the city, he made a host of friends during his short stay here, and his appearance in the corridors of the Southern was the signal for the assemblage of a crowd, anxious to listen to this brilliant conversationalist. Mr. Oum- mings, it will be remembered, was unani- mously elected to succeed 3. 8. Cox in the House of as Be but has none of the consciousness of importance 80 common among Conyress- men, especially those serving their first term. To an interested audience he related his first attemptto make a great speech, ‘I forget i what it was about, said Mr. Cumming-, but I know that I wanted to speak against some bill. I had studied for n a great number of facts, rehears my address, and believed that it would excite a commo- tion. It was near the time for the adjourn- ment of Congress, and I had to go to the chairman of the committee to get an allot- ment ot time. Iknew that what had to say would hold the house spellbound for at least two hours, but determined to be modest, and therefore asked for only (fifteen minutes. Are you for or against the bill?’’ asked the chairman. ‘‘Against it, I replied. ‘*Then you can’t have fifteen minutes, but I can give you forty-five seconds.“ This utterly upset me, but I managed to induce him to allow me three minutes. I then went about among my friends, got one minute here, and two minute's there, and finally ob- tained twelve minutes. Just before my turn came, two Committee Chairmen got up and used up nearly all my time. I was in despair, but determined to have my say. Icalledona dozen of my friends, and they surrounded my desk closely, when I obtained the floor Icommenced on my great speech but had not fairly opened it when Dockery of Missouri, who occupied the chair, called me to order.

Samuel Waidroup was a prosperous and law-abiding citizen of Litchfield, III., and lived in the northeastern limite of the prosperous little Montgomery County railroad town. He had a wife and three daughters, the oldest, Miss Eva, being at that time 17 years of age. Between the hours of 6 and 60’clock on the fatal morning there was a knock at Samuel Waldroup’s west door. All of the MEMBERS OF THS FAMILY were in bed atthetime, sleeping later than was their custom on account of the day being Sunday. Walbroup at once rose from his bed in a rear room, pulled on his pants and shoes and passed through the front roem to the outer door. He olosed the bed room door behind him ashe went. There was a man standing on the step witb his face muffled in the folds of his overcoat. Ina gruff voice he asked: „Is thig where Sam Waldroup lives?’’ Being answered in the affirmative he pulled a re- volver from his pocket and fred 10 point dlank at the astonished housge- holder.

Metcalfe spoke on the subject and argued that, as there was a provision in the Terminal bill compelling that road to grant the use of its tracks to other roars it was but fair that a a provision be made in the C., B. ° ill, Some other matters were taken up and amended, but they did not bear upon the main lines of the bill. A petition which was put in the form of an amendment, compelling the road to pave Main street with granite was defeated.

ACTORS WHO PLEASE, What Wilson Barrett Says of Them—In flu. ence of the Drama. By Telegraph te the PosT-DIsPaTon. New Tonk, Nov. 27.—Wilson Barrett, the actor, lectured yesterday in this city before the Institute of Anthropology. During his talk occurred these utterances: ‘‘Actors are sometimes sneered at by the unthinking, who designate them as people who paint their faces and pretend to be somebody else. It sounds clever, does it not? and it is true as far as it goes. 80 fhe soulptor takes his block of marbie and with maliet and chisel he outs out from the senseless stone the form of ‘some- likeness of ‘somebod y else,’ there are oritics, ake a person an actor, yet I maintain that the highest form of dramatic Ker How ‘ans: cold. pagsiocate ‘acters not. on f r with which — Rar * . — it seems to me, you ge difference 8822 the — * dyious that an actor can vottne is ; , body else.’ The painter on his canvass paints to his Own | tea 5 Den : 2 * * s leave the memory seldom that a man him by a situation in again or i. a n asked n, what would be the effect upon the if ple, or so- called re - regular Siete Sut ie the effect made upon t a a play have c In plays they patronized, and they will find littie or “arene to which they could make any possible objection, and much that would amuse, edi and instruct them.

The Irish Leader’s Mother Talks of Her Destitute Condition. By Telerranh to the Post-Drerator. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 27.—Mrs. Delia T. 8. Parnell dictated the following to a reporter yesterday: ‘‘Il received some assistance frém my appeal until Mr. Fitzgerald of the Land League took it upon himself to deny the story told by my friends without him or any of his agents making an investiga- | tion of the facts. He : said in substance that BR the league would take care of me had I made Mrs. Delia Parnell. the appeal to them. My poverty dates back to 1879. iwas destitute then, and prominent members of the League were so informed. They took no action, but gave me the lie. James Redpath of New York took up my case, but when prominent leaders of the league gave he, too, abandoned the ing a fund quietly from a few wealthy members of the league. Later he endeavored to sell some of my writings, but the market was overstocked. In 1885 and 188, whenl was in in New York the league members again knew of my condition. No action was taken.

THE MAN OF HER CHOICE, A Girl With 620,000 in Cash Married a Minstrel, By Telegraph to the Fosr-Disraron. New YORK, Nov. 27.—Mrs. Amelia Aumann, a widow of means living at No. 516 Wythe ev. enue, reported to the police a few days ago that her daughter Em:na, a pretty young git! of 18, who nas 320, 000 in her own right, had disappeared from her home. She informed the police that she had reason to believe that the young woman had eloped with a member of the Cleveland minstrel troupe that played atthe Amphion a few weeks ago. Detectives searched tor the girl unsuccessfully. They learned enough, however, to form the same opinion as that heid by Mrs. Aumann. Last night Mre. Aumann said she had received a letter from her daughter. The giri declared that she had married the man of her choice and was making preparations for a trip to England and the Continent. The girl when she went away was dressed handsomely. The police say the Cleveland troupe are about to start for the West and they will make an ef- fort to arrest the girl. The minstrels are at | ages in this city at the Grand Opera-house. he minstrel with whom the girl is supposed to have eloped is Harry Ernst, a tenor singer, The Only Establishment in America Selling men’s overcoats as low as $1.50, boys’ suite and overcoats as low as $1.

JACKSON, Tenn., Nov. 27.—Yesterday work- men employed in digging a manhole for the sewer system unearthed a coffin at the depth of three feet, Excitement ran high for a time. Several theories are advanced as to how it came there, but the most probable is that it had been ruined by fire several years ago and thrown inaguliy with other rubbish, over which dirt had accumulated. A thorough in- vestigation, however, will be made. 22..——.—. ———— SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADAGHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills .... ᷑᷑;: ..

Nearly Every Member of the Silver Conven- tion Will Leave as a Warm Advocate of This City- Wonderful Popularity of St. * in the Mississippi Valley—Drafting a . HE members of the various World’s Fair Committees yesterday were actively at work tothe National Sliver Convention, and to- day they have re- doubled their exer- tions, and will con- tinue their industries as long as the conven, tion remains in ses- sion. All bave been requested to visit the World’s Fair head- quarters, and a great many have availed themselves of this in- vitation. The Execu- tive Committee as a body made no provision for the re- ception and entertainment of the delegates, as they did not deem it courteous to infringe upon the limited time at the disposal of the managers of the Silver Convention, hut the individual members organized into services to the Reception Committee of the Silver Convention, and have done. an immense amount of work in the interest of the Colum- bus Centennial. themselves volunteer committees, offered their In this they have been greatly aided by the promoters of the convention now in session, and World's Fair are loud in their praises of the split in which they bave been met. those officially connected with the A HOST OF FRIENDS. But one thing has interfered with the suc- cess of the canvass, and that Is that the great — ot the delegates were in favor of St. ulis before they came here. Those who have circulated among the guests of the city express their astonisnment atthe unanimity ofthe sentiment in the Western States and Territories in favor of St. Louis, and are still more surprised to find that the feeling in bag as far as can be judged from the expressions of the , delegates, is almost as strong in favor of this city. The Pennsylvanians appear to be an- mated by a feeling of hostility to New Tork. while the people adjacent to the Ohio River will cast their votes and influence for St. Louis on the ground that this city and not Chi o is the true metropolis of the Missis- sippi Valley. Although far from the ocean, Chicago, it is arguec, is properly to be con- sidered a seaboard city, as all ite water com- munication and most of that fur- nished by the railroads lead directly to the seaboard, and its interests are far more intimately associated with the section east of the Alleghenies than with that tributary to the great Western waterways. It was con- or stated that Cincinnati would cast its entire influence in favor of St. Louis, and that all States situated near the Ohlo River and its tributaries would do the same, with the ex- ception of such counties as belonged rather to the luke than to the river system. A STRONG ARGUMENT. Although the World’s Fair committee found its work morethan half done, no pains were spared to impress still more etrongly upon the many friends of St. Louis, its manifold advantages, and to convince its few oppo- nents that this is the proper place for the World’s Fair. As a means of doing this, the following circular was distributed: The Ford Fair Should Be Heid Where the greatest number of people will visit it; Where the greatest number of people ean reach it at the smallest expense. In order that the greate est number may be obtain Where manufactures, commerce, . and ayricuiture center; Where our foreign guests can by making short excursions reach prairie and mountain, mines of all kinds, the greatest amount and yariety of manufactures, grain and stock farms, etc. ; In the city possessing the best drainage and the best health record; Where ample grounds quickly and easily reached from the ‘heart of the city, can be had for the asking; Where the people have repeatediv demon- strated their ability. to conduct expositions and fairs more suceessfully than any other people on the Western Continent; Where the — — heve obtained world-wide fame for hospitality—instead of robbery—when great crowds visit them; And, to summarize, In the city possessing the maximum of ad- vantages and the minimum of drawbacks. THE WORLD’S FAIR SHOULD BE HELD IN r. LOUIS BECAUSE .- it is the center of the country; it is the center of population; it isthe center of the greatest rallroad mileage; it is. the center of 20,000 miles of river navigation; it is the center of the great produelng sectio of the country; it is the center of consumption. The people who produce want to exhibit to those who consume; In it manufactures, comm and —— center more larg other ci n North America; From it excursions can be quickly and eaply made to the innumerable coal mines at surround it, tothe iron, lead and ino mines of Missouri, to the iron mines aud man- ufactories of Alabama, to the gold and silver mines of Colorado, to the cotton fields of Ar- kansas and Mississippi and to the great agri- cultural and stock-raising sections of Mis- souri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebras«a; It is the best sewered and drained city in the country and its health and death records are better than any of the large cities. It has grounds that can accommodate a dozen World's Fairs—without annexing one- half of Missouri to obtain them—and no real estate sharks to engineer a corner in them. It has made unqualified, unprecedented and Lecontinuous successes of its Ex ition, its — Fair, and conventions without num- ee good to the great- agriculture ly than in any It has entertained people by the hundreds of thousands and sent them home delighted with the hospitality and liberality of ita people. It possesses all the requisite advantages and ite drawbacks exist only in the minds of its competitors. Aud it will make a greater success of the World's Fair than can be made in any other city between British America and the Gult of Mexico. DRAFTING A BILL.

As to-morrow is Thankegiving Day ands holiday. there will then be no markets in the Post-Dis- PATCH. New Orleans cleared yesterday 11,000 bu corn for Liverpool. The United Kingdom's sunplies of wheat and flour increased last week over 1,600, bu, as imports and home deliveries together made up an amount that exceeded requirements that much. Last week's imports into the kingdem were 172,- 000 bbls flour, 3,136,000 bu wheat and 1,140,000 bu corn. A question most frequently asked now is, how much wheat have farmers left to seil? That question is not easily answered, says the Minneapolis Record. It is known that more than 50 per cent of farmers’ surplus is yet in granaries in some sections of Minnesota. The claim is made there are portions of the Red Valley in which but little more tian 50 per cent of the surplus has been sold. Such places are the ex- ception. In many parts of Dakota farmers are begin- ning to scrape the bottom of their bins. with little to sell. In some parts of South Dakota the wheat ap- pears to be about all in, and elevatorsare being closed, except for the handling of coarse grain. Arrivais of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth, count- ing from August 1, amount to 31,169, 299 bu. The new crop did not begin to move freely be- fore the middie of August, and of the smal! re- ceipts during the fore part of August more of them were old than new. Allowing the amount of old to be 600,000 bu, which is — correct the new crop movement at the two potas has reached in round numbers 30, u. The receipts during the first three weeks in November have been 6. 799.491 bu in Minneapoiis. The arrivals at Duluth in the same time have deen 3,733,532 bu, making an aggregate for the two places of 10.533.023 bu, re- ceipts by far larger than evercame in during the same time in any previous year. It is nown that farmers’ deliveries from their granaries to coun- try elevators and warehouses have been much greater than the shipmemt from such warehouses to Minnesota terminal points. Just what that excess amounts to is at present indefinite, but estimated variously by different parties conversant with the situation. Some think the deliveries by farmers have exceeded shipments of count elevators by 2.500. buli others put it at 3,000,000 bu — ing along above to some 4. 000,000 bu, it 500 is about the correct figure, which seems robable, then farmers have soid about 13,500, u from November 1 to November 21, inclusive. Voting on the proposition to purchase the Planters’ House property for the erection of a new Exchange interfered greatly with business on Change to-day. The first trades in July. 1889. wheat were made to- day, it selling at 80c or 30g below — 4 t year Juſy 's opening trades were /4igc under May. Dornbusch says: In connection with the present satisfactory reports of crop prospects in Australia it may not be inappropriate to direct attention to the comparative smaliness of the quantity of Australian wheat that reaches Europe, and especially this coun- try. It must be bornein mind that the harvest athered in January and ages for the old country s not 22 here before ay. when sometimes it arrive m has to e.

Seldom has there been a greater crowd on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange than that which assembled this morning, the occasion being the vote to de taken on the proposition submitted ~ by the Real Estate Committee to buy the Planters’ House. This proposition requires a three- fourths vote to prevail, and the purchase is also contingent upon the ability of the Real Estate Committee to secure a good and suffl- clent title. A HEAVY vors. The public meeting held on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange on Monday last, at which the pros and cons of the proposition were discussed, attracted widespread atten- tion, and the consequence was that more in- terest was manifested and a larger vote drawn out than at any election held for many years. Both eides, those in favor of the r and those opposed to it, were bard at work from an early hour of the morning, and shortly after the polls were opened at 10 o’clock it became evident that a heavy vote would be cast. Canvassing was carried on in a manner seldom -witnessed in an exchange election. Members were met at the doors, on the stairs and in the street, and their votes earnestly solicited. Those tavor- ing the sale hore large placards on their hats with the word For“ in black letters, while its opponents wore a similar placard bearing the word ‘‘Against.’’ The former largely exceed- ed the latter and it was at an early hour made manifest that those who desired the vote to carry had laid their wires much more skill- fully and had done much better canvassing than thelr opponents. ARGUMENTS OF ADVOCATES OF THE SALE. he outside vote had been counted upon ag hostile to the proposed change of investment but when it came to be polled it was — thal the contrary was the case and that the strongest 94 was to be found:on the floor of e Exchange, and among tts most active members. The real estate agents had been hard at work and had gained scores of votes for the proposition, as the sale of the Pianters’ House property for $1,520 a foot would have a most stimulating effecton all Fourth street real estate. Many members of the East End Improvement Asso- clation cast their influence in the same way, for the same rea- son, and, of course all holders of Fourth street real estate were ranged on the same side. All who were solic- ited to vote were assured that the purchase would in no way commit the Ex- change to A change of quarters. It was pointed out that if a change of location had been considered advisable, a site nearly the same as the one now occnu- pied would not have been chosen. And it was also shuwn that under the Constitution of the Merchants’ Exchange, no building could be erected unless a three.fourths vote in favor of it were given. Those opposed to a change were told that they would have the same power to prevent It as before, and great stress was lald upon thé influence which the possession of alot near at band would bave upon the owners of the present building when they were again approached with a proposition to sell. The advantages ofan 8 percent investment with good chances of appreciation of the principal over one bearing but 4 per cent, and diminish- ing in c sh value every year was enlarged upon, and this presentation of the case gained scores of votes. The strongest argument used was, however, that no change of location, but simply a change of investments was contemplated. Frank Galennie, E. O. Stanard, Charles A. Cox, Michael McEnnis, Charles F. Orthwein, and H. G. Haarstick were particularly active advocating the sale. AGAINST THE SALB. The opposition was centered tn the grain pit, ana those who were rangéd against the bill were also very active in canvassing. It was evident, however, that they had not started as soon as thelr adversaries, and they were surprised at the strength of the vote against them. The objections raised were thatthe price asked, „ Was ex cessive, that there was no certainty that a good title could be secured, as the property in question was owned bv a stock company of rather peculiar constitution, that the securi- ty was speculative in value, and likely to diminish rather than increase, that the in- come was assured fur but two years, and that in case ofadesire to build that there would be no money available. The present reserve fand was free of taxation but the rate on the Planters’ House would be likely to be increased. Among the strongest opponents of the measure were Messrs. God- dard, Schirmer, Fraley and Brockmann. A CLOSE VOTE. As the vote came in it was evident that the proposition for the sale would have a large majority, but few of its friends believed that it would get the required threefourtns. At the time that the polls closed it was evident that over 1,400 votes had been cast, and the result was ins doubt, with probabilities of the defeat of the sale, THE PURCHASE DEFEATED. When the polls closed it was hoped by some that the vote had carried, but when the count was completed at 2:20, it was found that the proposition had been deteated. The total vote cast was 1,422, of which 968 were for the pur- chase, and 454 against it. More than a two- third’s vote was cast in favor of the propo sition, but it failed of the necessary three- quarters by 97 votes. THANKSGIVING turkey lunch. BESSEHL’s BRANCH, 517 St. Charles street.

ASHLAND, Wis., Nov. 27.—Wholesale arrests of persons connected with the vile resorts of Hurley were made last night by Ashland County officers at the instance of District Attorney Rossman. Sheriff Mateon, District Attorney Rossman and a posse of officers, In- cluding Under Sheriff Conn, Deputies Boyd, McKenna, Kennedy, Protherto and Conovan, left for Hurley. The train reached its destina- tion at 9:15 and a general raid was made im- _ Mediately. Arrests were made for the purpose of cleaning out the notorious La Clair dives and other infamous resorts that have been flourishing since the early days of min- ing excitement, but really the officers intend to makea thorough and exhaustive search in several different places for the miss- ing $39,000 which was stolen from the Iron Exchange Bank. It is understood that the woman Thayer, if she is not really a detec- tive in the employ of Col. Byrne, has at least en the officers valuable pointers as to the ocality of the missing treasure.

Suit Against the City Growing Out of the Location of the Exposition. CHicaGo, HI., Nov. 27.—On Friday Mayor Oregier will be called on in Judge Collins’ courtto answer why he should not be com- mitted for contempt of court. Many years ago all of that portion of the lake front east of Michigan avenue, between Randolph and Twelfth streets, was dedicated to the uses of a public park, to be forever free from buildings. Since then, by the suffrance-of the owners of the abutting property, the — gpeeen building andtwo or three regimental armories have been built on it, and the city has used a part of the exposition building for an engine house. Last August Mr. Warren F. Leiand, proprietor ofthe Leland Hotel, and other property owners secured an injunction against the Exposition Co. and the city re- training them from further use of the Exposition building; but subsequently a com- promise was effected by which permission was given for the holding of the annual Expo- sition and the National Horse and Fat Stock Bhows. The city paid no heed tothe order of the court, but continued to maintain the fire company inthe building. .Now Mr. Leland end the others who procured the injunction propose to press the matter to an issue; and to that end will call on the Mayor as the exeo- utive representative of the city to show cause for this disregard of the order of the court, It is understood that the city proposes to make a strong fight in the matter.

Half the amount of money necessary to carry it through has deen subscribed almost with- out solicitation and the remainder will be se- cured probably before the end of the week. _ OTHE NEW PIAN. The new pian is fully set forth Ina circular gotten up by the Executive Committee and now in the hands ofthe printer. The Execu- tive Committee consists of the following named gentiemen: Anthony Ittner, W. 8. Simpson, Daniel Evans, Stephen O'Connor. James H. Keefe, Luke Mclaughlin, 8. L. Jones, Sam Marsden, Wm. Cochran, R. J. Loyd, F. P. Hunkins, F. C. Bonsack, Joseph L. Guedry, C. O. Weaver, James Duross, J. H. Daves, M. J. Ward, Daniel Cavanaugh, Jeremiah Sheehan, H. W. Ballman, T. F. Mekelleget, Thad 8. smith, F. B. Bergler, John Low, William A. Rutter. Finding that the first plan adopted did not meet with the degree of favor expected theyset their think tanks to work to evolve one which would be more popular and they have been successful even beyond their most sanguine ex- pectations. The new plan is obriefly this: A stock company is to be organized with a capital stock of $50,000 all paid up, and divided into 500 shares of the par value of $100 ashare. With this $50,000it is proposed to purchase a suitable lot. Then $100,000 (or more if necessary) worth of bonds of the value of $500 and $100 each will be issued te build the Exchange. These bonds will beara fair per cent of interest, payable semi-annu- ally, and will run for a period of twenty years. Thenew building is to be at least five stories high, the first floor to be rented out as offices, the second floor ta be occupied by the Exchange as@n Exchange Hall and the three upper floors to be divided into suitable offices with all modern improve- ments to be rented to the members or any person or firms desiring an office in the building. WHAT IS EXPECTED. The committee speaks as followsof the en- terprise In its circular: „We feel confident the buiiding will rent well enough to accomplish thie much, if nothing more, namely: That the income wil be sufficient to pay the taxes, interest on the bonds, necessary expense to run the bulld- ing, and will also leave enough on hand to — asinking fand to paythe bonds when du ip doing this we will be making, at the end of twenty years, the handsome sum of $100,000 on our investment of $50,000, which will be 200 percent profit in twenty yeurs, or 10 per cent profit per annum, which is a very low estimate of what the building will earn, being only 3% per cent, net, on the cost of same, and we know of similar buildings earn- ing considerable more, basing it on the sup- position that at the end of twenty years the building and lot is only worth what it cost, namely, $150,000. But those of us who believe in the future prosperity of the city of St. Louis, and are acquainted with the present low prices of the central business portion, (which is a great deal lover than other cities of its size, and lower than the same kind of property in many smaller cities), must cer- tainly know that at the end of twenty years, or when all the bonds are paid off, that the property will be worth about double its value at the present time.’ SEEKING THE STOCK. »The new plan, said Secretary Walsh to- day, has caused a great boom in the build- ing stock. Two hundred and filty of the 500 shares have already been taken and there will be no difficulty of disposing of the rest in a very short time. It is the wish of the Execu- tive Committee to organize the new company by January 1, 1890, and there is no doubt that everything will be in readiness for the 1 of an organization by that time. t looks like smooth sailing and by this time next yearl think we will havea new building which will he a credit to the Exchange and to the great city in which we live. Those who are profiting through the rapid growth of St. Louis feel they owe it to her to do some some- thing in return and thev propose to erect an Exchange of which the citv can feel proud.“ SUBSCRIPTIONS.

In the Comp- ton Hill section grad- ing is about completed but no more walks can be laid while such weather as the present lasts, and that part of the work is not likely to be resumed while there is a prospect of a freezing temperature. Mr. Charies H. Bailey says the grading of Mr. Daniel Catlin’s 1,100 feet of ground on the north side of Olive street, situated east and west of Pendleton, about where the cable makes the first turn south, is about finished, and if the weather does not improve notbing more willbe done with the property until spring. In the meantime the ground will have settled and be in fine order for laying granitoid walks and improving the street. MR. CATLIN’S TEN-SfORY BUILDING. Three architectural firms are busily engaged in the preparation of plans for Mr. Daniel Catlin’s commercial building, which is to be erected at the southwest corner of Fourth and Locust streets. It is now stated that this new building is ta de ten stories high and con- structed on a scale of elegance which will make it equal to the finest structure of its. character west of New York. The architects have not been limited as to the cost of the improvement, and while the design is not to be elaborately ornate, the facades are to be very imposing and hand- somely constructed of Missouri granite and Mr. the interior design and finish, the intention being to ke each apartment ‘more elegant than the offices of any building in the West. The structure will cover an = of 115 feet on Fourth street OF a dep of 127% on Locust, and Mr. Charles i. 5 who has given the enterprise some attention, says applications for fully half the space in the whole building have already been made by parties who are anxious to secure apart- on in what promises to be the finest build- ing in St. Louis. It has frequently been said that this building was being built for the State Bank, but it has not been fully deter- mined whether that institution will become tenunts in itor not. However, another bank- ing institution of equal magnitude is said to have opened negotiations to secure the main corner. A6 soon as the plans have been ap- proved the building contracts will be let without delay, in the hope of having tbe structure ready for opcupancy in about eighteen months afterwards.

Nowhere that he went pleased him so well and offerea such reliable security for values as St. Louis an | he concluded to buy here. His first purchase was a plot of 70x130 feet of ground situate at the northeast corner of Benton street and Glasgow avenue, for which he pid $3la foot, avery moderate price con- sidering the future prospects of that part of the city. Mr. Wall's first work now will de to build up his purchase with neat stone-front six-room dwellings, which will insure hima liberal revenue ior the money he plants upon the site. MORE BRIDGE TERMINAL PROPERTY. The Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Rallway Co. is continually buying more property, and althou ha great many deeds to parcels which they have bought have been recorded many others have not, and for that reason it will be some timein the distant future before the public is made aware of the full extent of the purchases which have already been made in behalf of this enterprise. To-day Mr. Louls Perry, as Trustee, bought a $14,250 site, the sale of the propert: having 88 perfected through the firm of Farrar & Co., who have collected the rents from the remises for a good many years past. This ast purchase embraces 100x095 feet of round witb alot of old tumble-down tenements, at the northwest cornor of Second and Ashley streets incity biock 28, near where Maj. Rainwater recently said, in his addréss before the City. Council, it was intended to errect the freight depot of the company. Mr. Farra says there are thirty tenants upon the premises where there ure about 100 persons living,all of whom will shortly have to seek other quarters. This corner was formerly Known asthé Cabbelil 1 but more recently it was owned by L. Du Bois of Philadeiphia, whose monthly income fromthe impecunious ten- ants was $125 a month. BOUGHT FOR A HOME.

BV Telegraph to the Posr-Dter rex. CANANDAIGUA, N. T., Nov. 27. RS. GEORGE RED- DINGTON, a pretty young woman of this village, doffs her widow’s weeds to- day after wearing them two years. This is because her husband, whose death at Lakin, Kan., two years ago was pretty well es- tablished, has been XV. Meg found alive in a Western insane asylam. Three years ago, Reddington, who was a popular young news- aper man, secretly married a fascinating and well connected young girl of Canandaigua and soon after started for Kansas to make bis fortune. He took up some Government land and went into real estate speculations withtwo other pioneers and his prospects were bright. Cheering letters were received by his wite and mother, and the former was anticipating an early departure to join him at Lakin, where he was preparing a home for her, when, May 27, 1887, a dispatch was re- celyed here stating that the young man had been suddenly killed by falling from.a house he was building. THE CONSPIRACY, His young wife, who had just given birth to a son, was not informed of the sad event. Or- ders were telegraped for the immediate ship- ment of the body to Canandaigua, and in reply came a dispatch stating that the body bad already, been buried. Mrs. Slater, his mother, was anxious that the remains should be forwarded at once, and another dispatch was sent giving orders for the immediate exbuming and ship- ment ofthe body. Inanswer tothe second diepatch came the destressing intelligence that the grave had been robbed.
