This afternoon at 3 o’clock at St. John’s Library, adjoining St. John’s Church on Six- teenth and Chestnut streets, a very large meeting of the prominent Catholic clergy- men and ladies of the different parishes throughoutthe city was held to inaugurate fully anew society called ‘‘The Daughters eof the Queen. This association isthe out growth of the Immaculate Conception Society on Eighth and Marion streets. Besides the Home, which is stillin existence, there were three branches, one in the Annunciation another in St. John’s par- and stil! another in that of St. Francis Xavier. This society was for the object of obtaining employment for poor and friendiess girls andto furnish a place where poor saleswomen could have a home of safety and comfort fora nominal price. Altogether the association contained 600 members, but the ladies of this society desired still further to extend their charitable enterprises, and under the advice of the Vicar-General, Father Brady, a new society was decided upon to be called the Daughters of the Queen. The object of this will doe to obtain the higher grades of employment for young girls whose tastes or intellect make the more arduous or menial employments dis- tasteful to them and to institute a training school for giris and to have them educated in type - writing, stenography or any avocation suitable to their tastes or igclinations. No de- cided plans are yet developed, but maturer ones will be adopted at to-day’s meeting. Each of the members will wear a Maltese cross of gold with the letters A. M. D. ies engraved on surface. The only arrangement yet perfected is that the different branches of the association inthe various parishes will once a month co-operate in meeting the main body at St. Jonn’s. Among the clergy pres- ent to-day were the Vicar General, Father Philip Brady, Rev. Fathers Head of the Annunciation, Edward J. Shea of St. Kevins, Father Bronsgeelst and Gleason of the St. Louis University, the latter the President; Fathers Bond and Neithart of the Redemp- torist order, and among the ladies Mesdames Helen Clemens, A. J. Lindsay, Julia Water- man, George Doan, Thomas B. Childress, , Freeland, Dunn, Mieses Mary Chassaing, Hoxie, Waterman, Berthold and others. WHAT wakes Cleveland so stout?

ALL FOR WEST VIRGINIA MINERAL LANDS. Decision in a Suit at Law Involving the Title to a 480,000-Acre Tract. By Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATOR. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Dec. 5.—The case of Marie Hoyt of New York City vs. W. B. Me- Ciure, Commissioner of School Lands of Wy- oming County, and U. B. Buskirk, Commis- sioner of School Lands of Logan County, in- volving the title to the 480,000-acre Robert Morris tract of land, lying in counties of Wyoming, McDoweli and Logan, instituted in the United States Circuit Court for the State last January, and which has heretofore attracted much attention all over the United States, has just?been decided | Judge John J. Jackson at this place. u 1885 Col. Jesse R. Irwin, formerly of New Orleans, but now of Oceana, this State, for- mer owner ofthe tract, purchased it under proceedings had in the Circuit Court of Wyo- ming County at the School Commissioner’s sale, taking immediate possession and placing tenants thereon. In 1 after this land, which had formerly been regarded as of little value, had become exceedingly valuable by e means of the developments in the southern end of the State, untilas shown by the proceedings itis now worth $5 per acre, $2,500,000, the school cummissioners under took to resell portions of the land, ostensibly for the State, and this suit was brought set- ting out Mrs. Hoyt’s interest and titie under Col. Irwin, and in connection with the said Irwin and C. F. Thomas of Wilmington, Del., her co-owners, asking an order of injunction to prohibit the school commissioners from re- porting the lands for sale.

The case was elab- orately argued by the leading attorneys of the United States Court.

W ‘HE BREWER NOMINATION. Judge BREWER’s long record as a Judge of the Kansas Supreme Court and subse- quently asa Judge of the United States Circuit Court has been subjected to as- sault or serious criticism at but one point only, the sharp conflict between his actions and rulings in the Wabash re- }ceivership case and those of Judge GRESHAM with reference to that part of the road within the jurisdiction of anoth- er circuit. Their views of the law in that case were so strikingly opposite, those of Judge BREWER were so pleasing and those of Judge GRESHAM so offensive to Jay GOULD and the plutocracy of railroad wreckers that the nomination of Judge BREWER, rather than the older and more distin- guished Indiana jurist, not only empha- sizes the President's resentment of GRESHAM’S rivalry in 1888, but seems made with the purpose of forcing the Sen- ate to condemn GRESHAM’S and approve BREWER’S position in the Wabash case. So many expressions of popular feeling were called forth by that conflict between the United States Judges of two adjoining circuits, that if the anti-plutocratic senti- ment of the country has any voice left in the Senate, turn on the issue between him and GRESH- AM in the Wabash case. Doubtless the Republican majority in the Senate is large enough to make con- firmation certain, and if it were not the plutocracy would find enough tools on the Democratic side. But by this nomination the President has plainly indicated what the influences were that downed GRESHAM at Chicago and are now controlling the present administration. —ͤ———— — — eae REPLYING to a reference of Councilman COMFORT to the low assessment of street railroad properties in this city, Assessor O’BRIEN makes an excellent point against the Municipal Assembly. He says that franchises can not be assessed, but revenue must be obtained from the companies owning them through provis- ions in the granting ordinances requiring the companies to pay the city for their valuable privileges. The responsibility, therefore, rests largely with the Munici- pal Assembly which frequently parts with profitable monopolistic privileges for little or nothing in return. — — — — THE accusation that the Posr-DISPATCR is knifing“ St. Louis because it insists on a better management of the city’s World Fair campaign is an absurd dodging of the real issue by the responsible parties. It is'resorted to on the theory of a thief who cries ‘‘stop thief’’ to cover his own crime. The record of the Post-Dis- PATCH’S work for St. Louis speaks for itself, anditis in the line of that record that it now calls attention tothe silly self- glorification antics of some of its World’s Fair managers. The claims of St. Louis and the liberality of her citizens deserve honest, earnest,vigorous work for success, in plave of peacock pluming and strutting on the part of the Governor and his news- paper man Friday. — —ñEœäꝓ ——— — —— — b THERE was a scramble among the Sena- tors yesterday for the ‘opportunity to strike the first blow against trusts. Sen- ator SHERMAN introduced the first anti- trust bill, and was followed by Senator REAGAN and others. There is no evidence of a rush to strike an effective blow against the conditions which make mo- nopolistic trusts possible—the iniquities of the tariff. It is at this point, gentlemen of the Senate, that the knock-out blow at trusts must be struck. — ä — . — — HARRISON is still making a conspicuous example of the Illinois Senators who per- mitted their State delegation to support the wrong Indiana man in the Chicago Convention. Civil service reform may be incidentally upheld by the cold shoulder which is presented to FARWELL and CuL- LOM at the White House, but it naturally makes them as mad at HARRISON as HAR- RISON is atall who had anything to do with the Gresham movement. ——— — 2 — Sou suspicious facts indicating that criminals are favored through the failure of employes of the Sheriff’s office to serve subpoenas properly on State witnesses were published in yvesterday’s Post-Dts- PATCH. The Sheriff’s office is too im- portant in the administration of justice to allow the slightest wrong-doing in this respect. The circumstances demand the attention of the Grand-jury. _” - THE hitherto unknown HARRISON who is aheud for Minister to Russia is not a relative of the President, but is one of his plutocratic benefactors. Just how much this HarRISON contributed to the im- mense corruption fund forwarded to New York by WANAMAKER is not known, but there need be no doubt that the nom- ination was as well paid for in cash as WANAMAKER’S own. in one respect the appointment of Judge DAVID J. BREWER to the Supreme bench is excellent. I¢ is the promotion of an official from a lower to a higher position. The rule of promotion in the public service is just and proper. It is far better than overlooking faithful officials to re- ward a personal friend or an active partisan. "My Choice Of French Chateaux wines are those shipped Dy J. Calvet & CO.

The men employed in the Municipal Gas- works at Manchester, recently gave notice that ney were about to go on strike. ng | subsequently attempted to withdraw the notice, but were not allowed to do so, and they were locked out.Non-Union men have been engaged to fill the places of the locked-out men, and they are fed and! odged in the gas-works. The men who are locked out have assumed a menacing attitude. The sup- ply of gas is not adequate to the demand aud at night the city is only half lighted. Thetrouble atthe South London Gas Works arises from the fact that some of the Union mon employed atthe works have accepted a bonusto make an engagement to wark for the company for one year. These men the Union men regard as ‘‘blacklegs,’’ and it is they who are referred to in the notice given to the company by ‘the gas stokers and coal porters that a strike will be commensed next week unless the services of ‘‘blacklegs’’ are dispensed with.

The Silver Men Do Not Want a String Tied to Ballion Regulations. The President's message and Secretary Windom’s report, with their expressions on silver, have occasioned a great deal of inter- est here among local people interested, and among gentlemen who were in attendance at the recent National Silver Convention. One of those appointed on the National Committee by the convention said this morning: 1 have only had time to giance at the Presi- dent's message, but you may suppose I have read with cgre that portion which relates to the silver qnestion, though I ought not to say Ihave fully digested the President's idea on the 888 I think the President's position is stated when he says, At a later day I may communicate further with Oongress on this subject.’ Linferthat the President is ready tosign any bill which Congress may pass. There are some sentences in his mes- help the rank Republican party to think weil of silver, and relieve their apprehensions as to dire calamities to be expected from the continuance of silver coin- age. The President says: ‘The evil antici- pations which havé accompanied the coinage and use of the silver dollar have not been realized.’ Again he says: ‘The general acceptance and use of the silver certificate shows that silver has not been otherwise dis- credited,’ by whieh he means that the paper representative of coined dollars in the Treas- ury is more convenient. ‘*Secretary of the Treasury Windom should be the last man in the country to fear the evil results which the President seems to fear would result from the free coinage of silver ut the present ratio. His experience with the resumption of specie payments should con- vince him that many a ghost turns out to be a harmless white cow upon closer inspection. From my understanding of Secretary Win- adom’s silver suggestions there are several serious objections. I should not favor giving to any one man the power to decide when it should be proper to stop the purchase of silver bullion, as he suggests, any more than I would be willing to give to any one man the power to suspend specie payment at bis will. he person having suc wer would be able to make a good thing of it’ if so disposed. The plan, suggested would ad- vance the price of silver bullion, no doubt, and in doing so much benefit would result through all the channels of trade and labor throughout the country; but, ‘with a string to it,? the certainty of financial disturbances would be beyond question. The nlan is at best but an expediency. The free and unlimited coinage of silver and 1 ie a principie; and further, it is a principle which underlies the well-being of civilization. Thesilver ques- tion, like all others, will never be settled until it shall be settled right.“ An Arkansas Tragedy.

G. Downing, Ohairman of the State Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sioners, had declared his intention of pre- venting dealings in grain 1 ted in East St. Louis on the floor of the Merchants’ Ex- change. This report emanated from Kansas City, @whereg Mr. Downing was pester- day. The merchants were generally to doubt its authenticity, as it was not believed that an ae cqule have taken so indefensible a position, But admitting it to be atithentic, no ong could be found who believed that any zuch rule could be enforced. Seth W. Cobb. who declared himself in favor ot State inspection 5 that he did not delieve that wnin could have made any such remark, but that if he had any such idea he | would be utterly unable to enforce it. To say that 8. Lquis mer- chants could not buy ree calling for grain it East St. Louis or East Africa, if they chose to do so, was absurd. D. P. Grier was inclined to believe the report to be true, but laughed at the idea ofan enforcement of any such arbitrary measure. Downing, he said, could as easily stop the operations of the United States Government as 8 in Illinois grain receipts on the floor of the Mer - chants’ Exchange. Such an attempt, in his opin- ion, was caused bya stringency of funds in the possession of the Chief Grain Inspector, as the great mass of grain was being driven across the river by the course pursued by Burks. Asan instance Grier said that this morning a consignment of grain was received 8 from the armers Association by a St. Loui house with the request that it be shipped to Last St. Louis, as the Inspection at that point was more favor- — 4. the farmers than that obtainable from urks. ° The Farmington expert owes his ot. ficial existence “to the farmer, and this desertion, an example of many others, had, it was believed, driven the Railroad Commissioners to jdesperation. T. W. Booth did not believe that Downing could intend attempting anything so im- possible as stopping trading in Illinois corn in this market. Many others expressed them- selves in the same manner, and no one be- lieved that either Burks or Downing could rsvent St. Louis dealers from buying or sell- ng grain that had not pald tribute to Burks. ARKANSAS RAILWAY PRUJECT. Meeting at Hamburg to Bring About the Bull ding of a New Line. „ By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPatcr. LITTLE Rock, Ark., Dec. 5.—Information was received from Hamburg this morning that a largely attended railroad meeting had been held at that place, and a bonus been raised to induce the New Orleans, Natchez & Fort Scott Railroad to build through thetown. Money and lands amounting to thousands of dollars were subscribed. Col. G. W. Norman, M. IL. Hawkins, W. T. Wooldridge, E. B. Watson, W. E. Guise, D. B. Pugh, W. F. MoCombs, A. H. Wilson, J. H. Pryor, W. G. Rolfe and other prominent otizéns are taking an active part in promoasin the sénterprise. The road is one 0 the most im- portant lines in the Southwest, and the Presi- dent of the company, Gen. John H. Rice, has —— that it will be constructed to Ham- urg before December 81, 1890. The company has purchased a large amount of iron, and a contractor has the contract for building the road through Louisiana. Between eight hundred and one thousand men are now at work on the line from Vidalia to Sicily Island. It is expected that the road will be completed to the first-named point by the Zlst of this month, and will eventually De Du llt from Kan- sas City, Mo., to the Guif of Mexico, thus giving the South west the inost important com- mercial thoroughfare in the country. A $20,000,000 Mortgage. By Telegraph to the P Diseator. PARKERSBURG; W. Va., Dec. 5.—A mortgage of $20,000,000 on the proposed railroad through the counties of Lincoln, Logan, Mercer, Mo- Dowell, Wayne and other counties is now be- ing paton record atthe county seats of the above named counties. The new road will run from the seaboard to the lakes and will tap the richest section of West Virginia. It willrun through acountry extremely rich in minerals and timber, and will open up an im- mense trade heretofore entirely overlooked.

A PECULIAR CIRCULAR, A Paragraph in Which Arouses Great In. dignation Among Corn Receivers, A grain firm in this city received this morn- ing a circular that was sent out by a St. Louis commission merchant. on December 2, and showing it on the floor, & certain paragraph in this circular created great indignation among the trade. This firm charges certain houses ot this market who have been buying corn in the country, with being interested in having the corn they buy mise grading No. 2% The paragraph referred to reads as follows: Act on our hint to load cars to maximum capacity, as there is such a scarcity of thom. Corn is low enough, ana on account of its cheapness there will be heavier consumption than ever before known; hence we impart the advice not to 8011 abroad, but keep on constantly shipping to the market. We, as your commission merchants, wili surely be more interested in looking after your inspections than auy buyer here of your corn to arrive. It is frequently to the interest of the buyerto have his pur- chases miss grade. Itis never tothe interest of the commission merchant to have consign- ments miss grade. We mention this as a point for you to reflect upon. Some of the grain receivers were mad enough to call the writer of this personally to ac- count, and there whe serious talk of having the matter brought before the Exchange Directory and the members of the commission house that issued the circular disciplined for libeling the trade.

Hie Was the Trusted Employe of Mr. Lee- dom, the, Retiring Sergeant-at- Arms of the House—The First *uspicion of Silcott’s Crookedness Confirmed by a Call at the Treasury — The Missing Meney Drawn Out on Saturday—The Cashier Last Heard Frem in New York—Why the Amount of the Theft Was Not Increased —Congressmen Anxious About Their Sal- aries—Bondsmen Notified—Comment at the Capital. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5.—Soon after the House was called to order this morning, Speaker Reed laid hefore it the following com- nrunication from J. P. Leedom, late Sergeant- at-Arms of the House, directed to the Speaker, which the Clerk was instructed to read: I regret gto report that C. E. Silcott, late cashier of the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms has departed from this city without settling his accounts, and 1 have been unable to ascer- tain his whereabouts, and there is a deficiency in the cash of the office. In view of these circumstances I respectfully request an immediate investigation of my accounts, un- der such action as the House of Representa- tives may take in the premises. Mr. Adams of Illinois therefore offered the following resolution, which was una nimously adopted: Whereas, J. P. Leedom, at-Arms of the House of Representatives reported to the House that C- E. cott, late cashier of the office of the Ser- geant-at-Arms, has departed from the city without settling his accounts and his where- abouts are unknown and that there is a de- ficiency in cash in said office of about $75,000, Resolved, That a select committee be ap- pointed by the Speaker to examine the ac- counts of said office and report thereon to the House. The committee, which has authority to ad- minister oaths and to report in whole or in part at any time, was appointed by the Speaker as follows: Messrs, Adams, Stewart of Vermont, Payne, Reed of Iowa, Holman, Blout and Hemphill. ö THE STORY OF SILCOTT’S CRIME. The history of the case, gas faras it can be gathered at present, is as follows: Silcott was a trusted employe, who came here from Ohio, and was appointed by Mr. Leedom when that gentieman assumed office six years ago. He had good business qual- ifications and soon possessed himself of the unlimited confidence of his superior. Las- Saturday he notified Mr. Leedom that he was going to New York and would be back Sunday night. A message was received from bim dated New York Monday morning saying that he had been detained, but would return that night. A similar message reached his wife in this city. Ashe did notappear Tuesday Mr. Leedom was fearful that he had been overtaken by some acccident, but to. satisfy rising suspicions began an investigation. The information that BSilcott nad drawn his bank balance, deepened these suspicions and the inquiry was pur- sued. The enormous office safe could not “be opened atthe moment as Silcott had the combination, but when an entrance was finally effected, it was found that some $30,- 000 set apart for the use of ghe paying teller was intact. The next inquiry was made atthe Treasury Department and Mr. Leedom was stunned by the result. He was informed that Silcott had called there Saturday and had drawn about $72,000. It was possible for him to draw this large sum without exciting comment, ashe bad for a long time been charged with the duty ofcollecting the money with which the salaries of the Representatives are paid. Silcott is under bond inthe sum of $50,000, his sureties numbering about fifteen persons. This is, however, an indemnity bond given to the Sergeant-at-Arms, and Mr. Leedom, who is himself bonded in the sum of $50,000, is directly responsible for the shortage. AN EXCITING SCENE. The first news of the state of affairs came out just before the House met at noon to- day and there was an exciting scene in the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Leedom, who was sitting in the rear of his office, was surrounded by anumber of mem- bers of the House, who were tendering advice of all kinds. The most practical 4uggestion was adopted at once by Mr. Lee- dom, who appeared to be completely un- nerved and unable to act for himself, and telegrams were dispatched to his sureties notifying them of Silcott’s disappear- ance and expressing a willingness to co- operate fully in every effort to find him and secure the return of the missing funds. Out- side the bank-like railing acrossthe room stood another crowd of members, evidently as anxious for themselves as for Mr. Leedon, as they put many queries as to the amount of money left in the safe andthe prospects of getting their salaries. Mr. Leedom says that he would have trusted Scott with any sum of money. He knew bis brother well and believed that Silcott him- self was entirely trustworthy. 80 firm was he in this belief that he had even hesi- tated to begin the investigation which has such a disastrous conclusion, that Silcott had been sand- bagged in New York or had been detained by some untoward happening. What to do next, he does not yet know and is seeking advices He was just about to turn over his office to the newly elected Sergeant- at-Arms, Mr. Holmes, but this event neces- sarily delays the transfer. HE COULD HAVE TAKEN MORE. Mr. Leedom says that it was within Silcott’s power to have carried off not less than $156,- 000, instead of the $72,000 which ie missing. It was suggested by a person standing near that to have carried off the balance would have changed the nature of the crime from embezzlement to theft and have subjected the perpetrator to extradition even in Canada, whither itis already rumored man has fied, This the theory that Sileott was the custodian of the money drawn from the treasury for the Pape of salaries, and that his retention of this money would constitute simply embezzlement, while if he had taken the money in tne paying Steller“ drawer of the safe it would have u a direct theft. It is stated that Mr. Leedom was victimized once before by the immediate Blicott, but to an amount insign parison with his present loss. late Sergeant- has Sil- is ficant in com- Child Fatally Burned.

A Negress Claims Him as Her Husband—Rer Brother Is Reponsible for His Death and Is Now Missing—Barada’s Brothers Deny the Woman Was His Wife and Claim the Body—The Coroner Takes a Hand. Frank Barada, a white engineer 27 years old, died Tuesday afternoon in as mall, dark, II- smelling room ina tumble-down building at the southwest corner of an alley called Linden street, and Thirteenth street. His nurse until the end was a mulatto woman, who claims that she was legally married to bim. Her brother, Wm. Jackson, in a flght with Barada on November 10, inflicted wounds which caused the death of the latter, and he is now a fugitive. Barada formerly lived in Carondelet where two brothers, John‘ a laborer, and Fred, a brakeman on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Soutbern Railroad, still live. He met there about three years ago the mullato woman, and was seen frequently at her house. About two yearze ago he moved up-town and has been living in Gay street, Linden street and on Thirteenth street with the woman all of the time since. He has spoken of her as nis wife, and because of his CONTINUED INFATUATION FOR HER has been cut off from his own family. The woman notonly says that he was her husband, but produces a certificate of mar- riage which, though unsigned, purports to evidence the .marriage of Frank Barada and Sarah Hillman in East Carondelet on August 6, 1887, by Rev. Fred Lunce, a negro Baptist preacher, who in East Carondelet isa great power. The woman says she was a widow at the time of her marriageto Berada. @This story of miscegenation would have been unknown out of the negro had it not been for the quarrel between Mrs. Hillman-Barada’s brother and her husband. Barada was under the in- fivence of liquor at that time and was cut in the abdomen on the left side, and in the back. UR. R. M WILLIAM was called in. He said to-day: „The wound in the back was slight and healed rapidly. The wound in the abdomen also healed, but the spleen had been cut and there was a continual hemorrhage. Then peritonitis supervened. He was very poorly cared for, not having proper food or attention. Had he gone to the nospital, as I suggested, he might have recovered, but neither he nor the woman would consent to his removal. Ihave not been there since last Friday, and believe they called another physician. When I last saw Barada I knew he could not recover. One of his brothers called on me soon after he was cut and asked about his condition. This brother said Frank had a wife in Belleville, and sbe had telephoned for information regarding his condition. [did not see this brother after- ward. MRS. HILLMAN-BARADA, the colored woman, said: ‘‘I am Frank Bar- ada’s lawful wife. I will bury him if they will let me. He died Tuesday afternoon at 8 o’clock. Dr. Jennings had been here a few moments before and told me he could not live. That night Dr. Jennings and Dr. Young held a post-mortem. They made out the burial papers and we calied Under- taker Mitchell. This morning the Coroner took the papers away from Mitchell, and to- morrow the Coroner 16 going to hold a post-mortem. We don’t know when we will bury him. His brothers Fred and John were here Tuesday night and wanted to take the body that night but Dr. Young told me not to let them have it—that I didn’t have no right to give up the body. John, he was here Aer and he got mad because I wouldn't et him take the away.

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. Panic in St. Lawrence O’Toole’s Church Caused by Sudden Darkness. There was a serious panic in St. Lawrence O’Toole’s Church last night. The church is j located on the corner of Fourteenth and O’Fallon streets and last night was crowded with people attending the mission now being conducted there. It was just about 7:40 o'clock and the services were about to begin, when every gas-jet in the church flickered for amomentand then went out, leaving the church in total. darkness. A panic ensued. The entire congregation began a wild scramble forthe doors. The aisies became packed and many whose exit was cut off by the surging crowd climbed up to the windows and, raising them, jumped tothe sidewalk. A number of those who attempted to get out bythe doors were injured. Mrs. Egan, living at 1221 Blair avenue, was bent over upon the back ot her seat and fell to the floor, where she was trampled upon. Mr. R. E. Cosgrove, a mem- ber of the choir, was slightly injured. To add to the excitement some one turned on a fire alarm, and the commotion made bythe en- gines and hose reels struck terror to the hearts of those who had notup to that time escaped from the bullding. When the excitement had abated an inves- tigation of the accident was begun. The only way to turn off the gas is from a meter in the basement. It had not been turned off, how- ever, for seme cool-headed person who reached a gas jet when the panic was at its height struck a match and the gas burned. It is thought that some persons who contem- plated pocket picking in the darkness and excitement extinguished the lights by blow- ing into a jet which had direct communication with all the other burners. After about a half an hour’s delay the services were resumed and continued without interruption.

STRONG COMPETITION Caused a Young Man to Resort to Question- able Methods. A young man named Greenough was caught inaclever fraud to-day. Last evening he went into the office of W. C. and J. ©. Jones in the Laclede Building and said he was em- ployed by Parker-Ritter-Nicholls to repair the instruments on which the stenographer was operating. Upon examination of the one a boy was using in the office he said it was out of order and asked J.C. Jones if he did not desire it fixed. Mr. Jones said certainly he did if it needed fixing, and the oung man took the machine away, promis- ng to return itat9o’clock this morning in god order. He did not come at the appointed our, and about 10 o’clock Mr. Jones tele- honed to W. B. Manny of Parker, Ritter & Jicholls, to send hfs machine over at once. Imagine his surprise when Mr. Manny replied that the machine was not there. He made up his mind he was out just $100, and would have notified the police this evening had not the young fellow put in an appear- ance with the machine and a bill about noon- time. Mr. Jones was wrathy, and he and Mr. Manny who were present hauled the young fraud over the coals. While they were talk- ing to him Mr. Sholes, agent of another concern, who heard they had located the young fellow, called up Mr. Jones on the telephone and told him to prosecute the young fraud, and he would bear part of the expense, as Greenough had been going around and claiming to represent their con- cern; with which he had no connection. Mr. Jones, however, concluded the lecture given Greenough would be sufficient to cause him to give up hie unlawful! practice. | YOU WILL MAKE Money by reading the advertisements of our merchantsin this issue of the Post- DISATCH, providing you get down town early to-morrow morning.

The Second District police last night sent to the Morgue a woman found on the pavement at Ninth street and Russell avenue. She was unidentified, quite old, poorly clad and very dirty. Phillip Pitzer, the Morgue watchman, received the woman, placed her on a slab in the dissecting-room, and returned to the office of the Morgue Superintendent to register the arrival. He had hardly taken his seat when he heurd a noise in the dissecting-room. Supt. Praedicow arrived at about that time and with Pitzer entered the room where the woman had been lain. She was far from dead, and was sitting up- right on the siab, yelling ioudly. The frightened Morgue atteudants called an ambulance and had her removed to the Cit Dispensary. She was recognized as Sara Carter, an old offender against the drunk and disorderly ordinance. She had been so com- pletely intoxicated that she appeared to be dead. Her fright on awakening in the Morgue, coupled with the drink, brought her to the verge of delirium and she was sent to the City Hospital for treatment. | Secretary Uhl Resigns.

— ST. LOUIS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1889. - „ CRIME COMPOUNDED * — That Is What the Police Do When They See the Laws Violated and Let the Offenders Go. An Infamous and Unlawful Pub- lication of Which the Police . Take No Notice. The Police Manual De fines the Duties of the Chief of Police and the Recerd Shows They Have Not Leen Performed—Ss8win- dlers and Criminals Permitted to Dupe the Poor and Ignorant Under the Very Eyes of the Police Without Interference From the Authorities. The Chief of Police shall be the commanding off- cer of the entire police force, subject to the rules of the board and its orders. He shall devote his whole time and energy exclusively to the discharge of his duties AND SEEK THAT ALL LAWS OF THE STATE AND ORDINANCES OF THE CIty ARE ENFORCED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE BY THE FORCE UNDER HIS COMMAND, AND ALL OFFENDERS REPORTED TO THE PROPER TRIBUNALS FOR TRIAL. Fe shall see that the rules prescribed by the board are . strictly observed and enforced. All general orders issued by him shall be submitted to the board before promulgation. In cases of emergency he may issue orders, handle and dispose of the entire force of the city as he may deem necessary, reporting his action and the reason therefor to tne board.—[Rule 19 of the manual governing the St. Louis Police Department.} Chief of Police Anton Heubler has violated this rule. For two years he has seen the law prohibit- ing the publication of lottery advertisements violated without making asolitary attempt to punish the offenders. He has known the rule and seen the offenses. If he was arraigned ‘ before the Board of Police Commissioners he could make no possible defense, for he is guil- ty of too many and too open violations of the \law laid down for him. For ten years no.Chief of Police has dared to leave such an opening in his official armor, no matter how friendiy the Board of Police Com- missioners might pretend to be. What's the Matter Now? Chief of Police Huebier is ordinarily a care- fulofficer. He has seen half a dozen chiefs decapitated for much less than what he is undeniably guilty of; already guilty beyond question of grossest negligence in this par- ticular, when stirrea to activity he makes the 8 kind ofan attack on the lottery crimi- nals. Is CHIEF OF POLICE HUFBLER OBEY- ING ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN SECRET. LY GIVEN HIM SINCE THE PUBLIC SPLURGE ABOUT ENFORCING THE LAW? Since that letter stir the police have ceased to make even a pretense of activity in the lottery cases and are now drifting along in the same easy-going way they used to travel thoughthey know that they are violating their oaths and ought to be punished for it. The police pretended to prosecute the lottery manand the lottery advertisers, but the prosecutions and the arrests were only cloaks, THE ‘‘MAKTLES OF PROTECTION’’ which they threw over the criminals to shield them trom punishment. ‘The lottery men want protection from the law. They look to the police for it and they getit, and when they are tired being arrested they send out word that the arrests must stop, and the ma- chinery of this big police force ceases to move. At the command of lottery men it stands still and motioniess. , Why has Chief Heubler discontinued raid- ne? Why have the police made no attempt fora week to catch any of the hundred vendors who have been selling tickets daily and openly? Each sale is a violation of the law, and it is just as much the duty of the Chief of Police to have the seller arrested as it is his duty to see that thieves and murderers are discovered and caught. In addition to the rule qvoted from the manual, specific instructions have been given to arrest all violators of tne lottery law, whether the violation consist of selling tick- ets, setting up lottery or advertising draw- ings. THIS ORDER LEFT NO DISCRETION with the commanding officer ofthe force. It was direct and plain, to arrest all offenders. It has not been obeyed, it has been ignored, it has been absolutely violated. It is well known that the commissioners made that order forthe purpose of shifting the responsibility to the shoulders of Chief Huebler. But the order of the board has been given no more consideration tbau if it bad never been made, and the com- missioners ask no questions. The reason for this is plain. The com- mission only wanted to get the lottery business off their hands and they think they have succeeded. If their order is not obeyed they do notcare. They areridof the thing and that is all they want. And knowing this the police laugh at and ignore a positive order issued to them by the board, What a farce the whole business is! Aman might manage bis private business in that way if he chose, but it BORDERS ON CRIME when public officials in whose care is placed tho ‘safety of life and property, the enforce- mentof the laws of the State are so shame- fully negligent and with such persistent de- termination refuse to interrupt a prohibited business or punish the men who carry it on. „He shall devote his whole time and energy exclusively tothe discharge of his duties,’’ is what the rule says of the Chief of Police. He aevotes none of his time and none of his energy tothe duty of arresting violators of the lottery law who are known to be guilty of offenses. / A disreputable sheet publishes daily and with SUSPICIOUS BOLDNESS the advertisements of every known lottery. As many as three separate offenses, so de- ‘clared by Vice-President Overall, have been committed in one day and one at least every day. The police have seen these crimes com- mitted, have the evidence, have no reason or excuse for not gg song against the offend- er, yet, although the violations of the law have continued overaperiod of two years, they have only sworn out three warrants and having done that, under the pressure of pub- lic criticisin, they seem to think they should let the criminals continue their crimes be- cause three warrants have been sworn out. As well let a murderer continue to Rill be- cause he has been prosecuted for one offense. Only yesterday this same disreputable street, the ot the lotteries, contained another — publication. Another net for the rand ignorant who are led by these in- mous advertisements to 1 the ir money On swindling schemes. It gave a lon list of names, pretending to be the names o ne who had drawn prizes in a Southern ry within the past few months. Its object was to excite the cupidity of the foolish,tolure on the r with a prospect ofa large reward and den wealth. It was one of the most in- famous and criminal of aillthe offenses, yet the police, appointed and paid to protect citi- gens from just such rascals by enforcing the laws sit quietly by, and by their silence give countenance to such unlawful acts, frauds that are worse than thefts. The officials who it such gross and flagrant violations of the — under their very eyes and do nothing are p to the crime, and are guilty at least of compounding crime. It is thelr duty to punish the offenders, and ‘know it is their . they neglect d refur arrest inals and give 1 to a sw that robs the poor * A SWEEPER OF A SALE TO-MORROW AT .

A Fiying Trip to Attend to His Private Busi- ness, and to Revisit His Former Home— Noble on the President’s Message and the World's Fair—A Grand Army Kecep- HIS morning John W. Noble, Secretary of the Interior, arrived in the city on the early train from Wash- ington and at once drove to the Lindell Hotel. Gen. Noble was entirely alone and nls arrival was known : to but very few. He was assigned to parlors 10 and 11 on the first floor and there received such of his friends as were aware of his presence in the city. GEN. NOBLE’S APPEARANCE. A representative of the POST-DISPATCH called upon Gen. Noble to ascertain the object of hie visit to this city. The cares of office have apparently sat very light upon the Sec- retary of the Interior. His face is fresh, his hair and beard show as few streaks of gray as when he left St. Louis to take charge of the Interior portfolio; his step is as light and quick, and his bearing ae \ as erect and soldierly as _j it ever was, and he has made a slight gain of JZ avoirdupoils. In fact, there has been little change in the appear- „ ance of the Secretary of ‘£7 the Interior since he left his law office in this city to become one of the i most Importaut members Secretary Noble. of the Administration, and such change as there is, appears to have been for the better. A BUSINESS VISIT. „„What is the object of,your visit, Gen. Nobie?’’ Simply to attend to my private business, and to get a rest. I left here with a great many matters unsettled, and have for several months been looking for an oppor- tunity to return. On several occasions I thought that I could get off, but found that it was impossible. I hoped to have reached here in time forthe decennial celebration of Blair Post, which took place last Saturday night, but I could not get away until after the meeting of Congress. When 1 did leave I was as quiet as possible about it and few knew of my intention. My visit hasno public signifi- cance, being only to attend to my private business.’’ THE POLITICAL SITUATION. ‘‘How was the President’s message re- ceived?’’ Very well, indeed. As far as I can judge all who express their real feelings consider it a most statesmaniike and well-considered document, and it has given very great satis- faction. What is the feeling among the Republicans in Congress? „They are enthusiastic and united. There is notbing like dissension or quarreling in the party, but allstand firmly together, and will not allow themselves to be divided by any- thing that may arise. The majority on the Republican side of the House is small, but it is enough and can be relied upon. „Can you say anything about the contest for the St. Louis Postmastership?’’ „That is not in my department, said Noble toy a laugh,“ and I can say nothing about t * „There are reports to the effect that you left Washington to avoid having anything to do with the matter. There are a number of reports in ciroula- tion about various subjects with no more truth in them than that. Iam notin the habit of running away to avoid respousi- bility.’’ THE WORLD’S FAIR. „Wust about the World's Fair, and the chances of St. Louis?“ J have carefully watched what has been pest not feel at liberty to speak as freely as I would like to, but can say that lam as much a friend of St. Louis as I ever was, and will do as much for it as in former times. It is delightful to me to see the old place again. I have never waveredin my affection for St. Louis, and never shall.“ Gen. Noble declined to discuss appoint- ments in his own or any other department, or details of any kind. As tothe political situa- tion he expressed himself as confident of Re- publican success in the future. As soon as the presence of the Secretary of the Interior became known in Grand Army circles preparations for tendering bim a grand reception were inaugurated. Ats o’clok to- morrow night Blair Post, of which Gen. Noble was formerly commander, will hold a special meeting in his honor, to which comrades of all other posts have been invited. The monthly meeting of the Loyal Legion will be held at the Lindell Hotel on Saturday night, and Gen. Noble, whois a companion, will attend. He will not leave the «ity until Sunday night,and may remain longer. Among his earilest callers were J. O. Churchill, John ©, Orrick, D. P. Dyer, 8. Mansfield, Sol Boehm, Nelson Cole, W. R. Hodges, C. H. Christiansen and Thos. B. Rodgers. Russell B. Harrison arrived in the city from Indianapolis this morning and registered at the Lindell. He stated that his visit is purely a business one. In the course of the day he called upon the Secretary of the Interior and had along conversation with him. Great Rock Island Route.

Many of the Promoters Irresponsible and Unauthoriged—The St. Louis Deal Em- phatically Denied—Other Unfounded Ru- mors—What a Brewery Alust Earn—Value of Stocks in London. HETHER or not an English syndicate will ever come into posses- sion of any considera- ble portion of the stock of the St. Louis Brewing Association, owning the consoli- dated breweries, noth- ing has been heard from them since they left the city several Gaye ago with the statement that th ey had secured what they wanted. Secretary Philip Stock of the as- sociation, when asked this morning if there was any indication of the position of the En- glish purchasers, said he had heard nothing and knew nothing about them. The best and the clearest statement that I have had or seen in reference to these so-call- ed syndicates,’’ said Mr. Stock, is by A. E. J. Tovey, editor of the Brewers’ Journal, New York, the official journal ofthe United States Brewers’ Association and of the various local associations. Mr. Tovey is ina splendid po- sition to know whatis goingon. He says: „% »The financial season being fairly opened there is a renewal of activity among the RESPONSIBLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE _ negotiators of brewery sales. In London American brewery shares occupy a large share of the attention of speculators and in- vestors; and there is no little interest in the Uuited States in the operations of the capi- talists, promoters and schemers, pure and simple, all of whom expect to make a for- tune selling breweries. The former, how- ever, have the least to say, and, as a genera, thing, the first notice that is given of their operations is the announcement of the actual transfer of the property. The flying rumors of syndicates, big deals, te., so liberally fed to the public 3 Be element, and the men who frequently lay claim to be negotiators 6f deals in which millions are the smallest figures, are as often as not IN SORE STRAITS for the wherewithal to defray current ex- penses. While baseless canards have thus been more than ever numerous of late, actual sales have been limited. Tne; establishments of the John Orth Brewing Co., Minneapolis, Minn., and the John Gund Brewing Co., La Crosse, Wis., which were jointly purchased for capitalization, constitute the only addi- tion we can make to our list of bona fide pur- chases. It is also reported that options have been given on the F. J. Dewes Brewery Co., the Keeley Brewing Co., L. C. Huck Malting Co., George Bullen & Co., Obicago; and the Darley Park, the Bay View and the Mount brewertles, Boston. These are the only reli- able reports of sales to date, but wild rumor hus Many more on record, differing only in the degree of their baselessness. We may particularly refertothe sensational yarn of the sale of the ST. LOUIS BREWERIES, except the establishments of Anheuser-Busch and W. J. Lemp, concerning which we are in- formed by the bighest authority that there is not a word of truth init. The equally widely circulated reports ofthe sale of the Orescent Brewing Co., Aurora, Ind., and the Jung Brewing Co., Cincinnatl, are just as emphati- cally denied by those in the best position to know the facts. All these bogus sales and rumors of a similarly unauthorized character, some of which have even formed the subject of extensive advertising schemes in London financial circles, may be traced to the activity of irresponsibie and usually entirely unau- thorized promoters. Their modus operandi is to get some owners of brewing property to quote them an optional price for the purchase of their interests, and this constitutes their capital. It is promptly transmitted to the London end of the concern, where a glowing prospectus, usually based on garbi state- ments, is issued and the business peddled around London financial circles, LUCK OR ACCIDENT being relied upon to bring about a sale out of which the 3 projectors make a ‘stake.’ Or, in place of taking any risk, they sell the information the brewer has furnished them outright to some concern having the means to conduct a negotiation. In view of this explan- ation of these methods, brewers will readily recognize the foolishness of giving any in- formation concerning their business to par- ties of whose financial standing they are not absolutely assured.’ ’’ Mr. Tovey has taken eal of intereat in the tion of ish dica and in ing, on — t. as a, chien eater ths E inh 0 un n Par Value London R „ „„ ore Breweries Teer eee eee „ eee © 8868 888 SE New York 3 „ „6 * Emerald and Phenix, and Newark, £7 paid Hill’s Union, Newark Indianapolis breweries Jones-Frank, Portsmouth and Be New York Breweries Co Schoenhaten, Chicago én United States, Albany, Newark and New York .

The Secretary of State Declines to Issue a Certificate of Incorporation to the Asso. ciation Because the Objects of the Or- ganization Are Not Specifically Set Forth —How Such Bodies May Receive the Countenance of the State. By Telerranh to the POorT- DISPATCH. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 5.—The follow- ing letter from the Secretary of State to Ford B. Smith of St. Louis relating to chartering of club rooms explains itself: STATE OF MISSGURI, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, { CITY OF JEFFERSON, Dec. 3, 1889. DEAR S1rr—I regret I am compelled to return herewith the articles of association of the ‘*8pokane Club. with inclosure of $2, and to suggest that I cannot recognize them as being within the purview of art. 10, chap. 21, R. 8. The pro forma decree of your Circuit Court attached to these articles, testifying that they are within such purview, renders me the more reluctant to decline filling them, but deem my duty in the matter so plain thatI have no other recourse. The objects of the proposed corporation,asset forth in art. 3 of its articles of agreement, are as follows: ‘‘The objects of this association or club shall be to furnish to its membersbip, composed of citizens of St. Louis, facilities for mental culture, so- cialand literary intercourse and entertain- ments, musical, literary and other rational and educational amusements and to that end to establish and maintain within the city of St. Louis a club room or club rooms, provided with a reading-room and library, and such accommodations as will insure to its members during the intervals of business the means for mental, literary and social improvement and enjoyment, and to provide such accommoda- tions in the way of refreshments as are usual in such clubs or societies.’’ With these purposes in view, under what provision of art. 10, chap. 21, Revised Statutes 1879, does this association propose to become a body politic.and corporate? If under sec. 974, then it must have a purpose spe- cifically authorized by said section, and no amount of glittering generalities as to mental culture, literary intercourse, incidental library and refreshments will meet re- quirements of the law. Sec. 974 provides for the incrporation of any association formed for benevolent pu ees, any purely charitable society, bos pital, asylum, house of refuge, reformatory, elemosynary institution; any association whose object is to promote temperance or other virtue conducive to the well-being of the . any association formed to provide or some good in the order of benevolence that is useful to the public; ow A association, congre- ation, society or church organization formed purposes; to provide and jcemetery, school, col- academy or other associa- tions formed for educational or sel- entific purposes.’’ It shauld be observed that those purposes are specific, not general, and are intended to provide for such assoeia- tions as the St. Louis Pedagogic Society, or the Missouri Medical Society, not for The Spokane Club, for the law proceeds to specify with emphasis, including any association. formed specially to promote literature history, science, specially to premote skili among the learned profes- sions, or specially to promote lutel- lectual culture in any branch or department. and it is clear that the department or branch should be specific in the name and design, not merely a pleasure club with incidental features of intellectual culture, establishing a museum, library, not a olub-room with incidental library, art gallery, or the erection of a public monument. Then the section closes with the provision which to my mind has been — 2 mis construed, Generally any association, soci- ety, Sompeny or organization which tends to e public advantage, not the advantage of a w privileged members of aciub, but of the entire public in relation to any or several of the objecta above numerated and whatever is incident to such objects, the incidental ob- jects being plainly and clearly those which aside from the objects specifically enumerated Ill tend to the advantage of the entire or religious maintain 4 lege, institute, : ‘for tage to the whole public. as to be a necessity of the community. There are no club- rooms provided kor in this section of the law. But if the Spokane Club proposes to become incorporated under sec. 983, let us ascertain the provisions and conil- tions of that section, which is in words and figures as follows: Any association formed for the purpose of ee ee or club house, or for promoting boating, field sports or other rational amusements, or for any other pur- pose not excluded by section 978, iawful in itself and not otherwise specially provided for, may also, by complying with sections 970 and 971, become a body corporate and politic, and under this article shall possess the rights and privileges, and be subject to the limitations and requirements herein provided, so far as the same are applicabie thereto. ’’ The very fact of the existence of this section in article 10, chapter 21, isevidence that the General assembly did not consider that there was any authority in section 974 for the incor- poration of club-houses or pleasure clubs; and I agree with Judge Fisher of the Circuit Court of St. Louis, that this section, in so far as it permits the acsociations named in it to incorporate under sections 970 and 971 and without paying the tax imposed by section 708 108 in conflict with sec. 21, art. 10, of the State Constitution. The.statute and the Constitu- tion have but to be read together to show that they are inconsistent with each other. The constitution says, in terms which are unmistakable, that no corporation,company or association other than those tormed benevolent, religious, scientific or educational purposes shall be ere- ated or organized unless certain fees are paid. Sec. 983, under discussion, provides that any association ftormed for the purpose of establishing a gymnasium or club-house, or for promoting boating, fieid sports or other rational amusements, etc., many incorporate without the payment ot such fees. As Judge Fisher declared in his opinion in the case of the Fair Club, that these sections are in conflict is too plain for doubt or argyment, and it fol- lows as a matter of course that so much of this section of the statute as au- thorizes the incorporation of associations not for religious. scientific, educational or benev- olent purposes, without payment of the fees required by this section of the constitution is void. It is evident to my mind thatithe objects and purposes of your proposed corporation are neither benevolent, retigious, scientific or educational, in any specific degree, within the meaning of those terms as used and in- tended in the exceptions mentioned in Sec. 23, Art. 10, of the State constitution, hence itcannot avail itself of the detailed provisions of Section 974, R S. 1879, or of the unconstitu- tional provisions of section 983 in order to se- cure incorporation under article X, chapter 21 It is plainly not tormed specifically to do or accomplish anything contemplated by sec- tion 974, for even its literary purposes are social and its educa- tional designs are confined to such mental culture as results from social meet- ings, and it cannot be incorporated under sec. 983, as that is clearly in viola- tion of the Constitution. In short, the Constitution did not intend to author- ize the incorporation of pleasure clubs without the payment of tax, nor does the law extend to club rooms or the furnishing of re- freshments in a reading room or library as being in any sense benevolent, religious, edu- cational or scientific. It is a plain principal of law that the leading purpose of an association should govern in the consideration of its incorporation. What isthe leading purvose of the Spokane Club?

TOUCHING STORY OF WOMAN’S LOVE AND MAN’S HYPOCRISY. An English Schoolgirl’s Blind Infatuation for a Worthless Adventurer Leads to Years of Misery—Fancied Persecutions, Worse Than Real, Driving a Wronged Woman to the Madhouse. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTcna. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. WENTY yeurs ago a silly school girl captured by a handsome face and glib tongue; to-day a haunted woman pursued by dread- ful shapes and shadows —dreadful no less because conjured up out of her imagination. And in that twenty years as strange and sad astory as you could find in a novel—a story of love, sin, motherhood, kindness, ingratitude, abandonment and an imagined punishment worse than real. Among the passengers on the outgoing steamer Furnessia yesterday were two good- looking women, mistress and maid. They were down on the passen- ger list as Mrs. H. Cobbett and maid. The former was a plump and pleasing person in the prime of life. She was solidly knit together and looked upon the world through a pair of large blue eyes that had once been very pretty and were not displeas- ing yet. She was neatly dressed in a close fitting traveling suit with a light half-veil across her fair head, and looked like a woman in excellent circumstances. When she spoke itwas with a marked English accent, de- scending now and again into the cockney. She was self-possessed, but very nervous in her manner, but no one would imagine from her appearance thatshe wasin the slightest degree unbalanced mentally. On ali subjects but one, indeed, she was thoroughly sane, and was what she looked—a thoroughly equipped woman of the world, a woman who had traveled much and knew how to take care of herself. She did not look like the mother ofa boy of 18. Her maid, a shrewd and sen- sible appearing girl, was very solicitous of her welfare. She had reason to be, as the fol- lowing tale will tell, HER LIFE STORY. Mrs. Elien White was the name she bore when, ascore of years ago, she fled from a school in England and came to America with aman who was known as Montgomery Car- lisle. He had told a pretty story—how he was one of the great Car- lisle family of England and heir to a fortune; how he was an officer in the Thirteenth Hussars—a heavy swell in his language, who promised in good time to make her his wife. They lived with a Miss Carey, a milliner at No. 28 East Twenty- eighth street, next door to the handsome Eu- gliish actor, Harry Montague, of Wallacks, with whom Mr. Carlisle was very chummy, and while the money lasted he was a most at- fectionate friend to her, Two children were born to her, a boy anda girl, the latter of whom is dead, and Mrs. ite. enjoyed her little romance fora while and showed upon the streets as rosy a pair of cheeks and gay a oa of eys as any wife in the city. One Saturday she said Montgomery went to Europe on the Adriatic and on the following Thursday, having sold her diamond earrings to a fared passage, she followed on an Au- chor e steam „a Di. Valentine helping her to embark. Her children were left be- hind. She met the man she band in London, and they wentto a fashion- able hotel and there for two weeks li Cecil stree was by playing billiards at night,’’ she said. Soon I began to find what mistake 1 had made. but young and loved him and him. Ifound that hie great pretensions were frauds, his estates myths, and there I was in London, alone and poor, 3,000 miles from my children. At length I got a chance to go ou the stage. Winiam Young, a nephew of the ‘Caste’ Co., gave me an engagement at the Royal Theater in Sheffield, and I played in ‘Alladin’ under the name of ‘Hazel Carlisle.“ My salary was £2a week. He followed me to Sheffield, and we lived on that salary till the season ended, and I was out of work again. We went back to London, and he got me to borrow £25 of a kind-bearted wine merchant, with which we furnished a home, and—but I will wait tl get on the witness stand before I tell to what degradation I descended to sup- port him. ' One ow a friend of his said to him: ‘Frank, why have you not told Hazel your roper name?’ ‘Frank?’ said I. Why, yes, rank Manley Cobbett. There is no need to hide it any longer.’ And then he admitted that this was his name. Iwas not his wife under the laws of England, though I was under those of the United States. I could do nothing anyway. SENT ADRIFT. Six or seven years ago the inevitable came Montgomery, or Frank grew weary and sent her to the United States ostensibly to visit her father. His prospects were improving and he had fallenin love witha French girl, whom he married. Hazel had no legal hold upon him, but it looks as if he still had a soft spot for her in his heart. But her love abided. Her father, whois a metallurgist of standing in Denver, and a gentleman of high repute, had invented a valuable lubricant for machinery, and Hazel taking out letters patent, travelled through the country with it. She proved to be a good business woman and made money withthe lubricant, lived well, dressed well and educated her boy in fine style. Not only in America, but in England she had a market for her mixture. She did business under the style of Mrs. H. Cobbett, the name which she now carries. If her mind had been free she might have made a fortune. But the shadow was on her lite. The worm was in the bud. The wages of her past sin were yet tobepsid. Therebegan to come into her dreams a vague, haunting suspicion that she was being driven on to the sharp rocks ofdestruction. Shethought the man she had loved and who had deserted her was bent on ruining her. She bad heard, or thought she had, that his partner had said he would spend £80,000 to ruin her: that she had been proclaimed to the officers of Scotland Yard and Mulberry street as an imbecile and a woman of bad character; that the ears of her customers were being poisoned against her; that an attempt was on foot to shut her up in an asylum for the insane; that men were set to dog and jostle her in the streets. She hired a private detective to shadow bim and made up her mind that he had sold out to the otherside. The very maid who sailed with her she accuses of being in league with her persecutors. Up at the St. James Hotel, where she has been staying for two weeks, she has seen the man, she declares, with whom the maid is in collusion. „When I open the door, she said, the maid coughs three times—when a man across the street takes off his hat to her. She makes gestures like this, and he sticks out his tongue—so. My God! they will drive me mad if this continues. How I have lived through it so long I cannotimagine. They have broken down my business. They are breaking me down. PURSUED BY A PHANTOM. Poor creature. Tongue cannot tell what she has suffered. She visited tiand Yard to pray for relief and protection, and has gone to Inspector Byrnes and begged the same. In Philadelphia she says a man annoyed her. She went to the Chief of Police, but he did nothing. Another wrong, and one of many that wears upon this unstrung mind: There isa solicitor in London, a Mr. Mayhilt, who pose her a regular allowance of £50 a month. o will not say where it comes from, but she ew as r.

HAT the every-day politician has under- taken a bigger task than he can perform in fixing regulations for the assessment of property for purposes of taxation is just now being shown by ques- tions coming up in connection with the a street railways and yi corporations gener- ally. In the light of : these developments there does not seem to be anything so unjust as the directions laid down by law on these matters. The question was brought up by remarks made by Councilman Comfort before the Council, which seemed to reflect on As- sessor O’Brien. The Councilman made all possible haste to call upon Mr. O’Brien and tell him he had no intention whatever of re- flecting upon him, as he thought he dis- charged his duties very ably, but he did want to reach the corporations, as he thought they did not pay in the same proportion as private owners, escaping this by getting around the law in some way. „We treat corporations and individuals alike,’’ said Mr. O'Brien, and one is sub- jected to the same law as the other, u the same class. The last assessment of the street railways raised their total to the extent of giving the city $10,000 more a year. The breweries were also raised considerably. .In fact, our last Board of Equalization was a model one.’’ „1 know that,’’ replied Councilman Com- fort, ‘‘but THE QUESTION IS RIGHT HERE, one of corporations, and I would like to 8e it settied. It must be that the laws need chang- ing to make them equal. Of course, as fur ‘as you are concerned, you must follow the rules laid down for you, not de in harmony with your own views.

I have found that as soon as we got a good man of this class the electric companies have offered him induce- ments to leave the city’s employ and go into that ofthe corporation. The only remedy is for the city isto pay as much salary as the corporation, and if we are to have constant objections to the Increaze of salaries in such cases, because ofalack of money, the cor- porations must be made to come in and make up the deficiency by paying an equal share of the burden of taxation.’’ The conversation then turned to ASSESSMENTS GENERALLY and atthe request of a Post-DISPATCa re- porter Assessor O’Brien brought out those of the street railways, which are as follows, the second column of figures showing whut they will probably be for next year: At present.

This, of course, Is not near their origt- nal value, but as the wear and tear on them is heavy it is believed to be about right.

PENDRAGON’S OPINION, THE ENGLISH PUGILISTIC WRITER ON THE SMITH-JACKSON FIGHT. Jackson Not the Wonder He Is Credited With Being and Smith an Unworthy Champion of England—A Doubt About the Battle Having Been on Its Merits— General Sporting News. — ENDRAGON, the great En- glish pugilistic authority, de- votes three and one-half col- ums of the London Keſeree to comment on the Smith-Jack- son fight. He criticis es the English cham- pion most se- verely as a fighter and also his meeting with The English very highly whom Intimates very strongly that Jackson was not on its merits. writer does not think of the ability of Jackson, he rather offensively refers to as a **‘nigger.’’ He claims the Australian is greatly overestimated and is not a wonder and not as good a man with bare knuckles as his fellow countryman, Frank P. Slavin. The following is an extract from Pendragon’s article on the meeting: »The fight, as it is called, lasted six min- utes, exactly one minute of which was spent by the men resting in their corners, and all but another was wasted in preliminary sparring. Yet the remaining four minutes were fully sufficient to show that, providing this was a true - run race, Smith had met one who is IMMEASURABLY HIS SUPERIOR. Except where accident has had its effect it is noteasy toremember so rapid a rise on the one side and so commensurate a fall on the other. Also short as was the time it enabled Smith to offer three opportunities for his disqualification. Of the first two, his e hitting Jackson a long way below the belt and bis giving him the shoul- der, the referee took no notice. Both acts might have been intentional, though they did not look like it, and besides, ina contest for points they could have been set against him insumming up atthe finish. The folks who were present had pad to see a ten-round fight, and it was clearly the duty of the officials to help give them all that was possible of that which they wanted and had paid for. But Smith was not going to be robbec of his desire in this way. His third offense was too wanton and too wicked to be passed over, and the referee rising in his place and his righteous wrath as well, disqualified the cheapest champion of England that ever lived as soon as the uproar aroused by Smith’s third deliberate endeavor to evade his con- tract allowed him to make himself heard. The final foul, all readers who, care to know by this time know, WAS A BACK-HEEL, a thing which no man would think of attempt- ing while he had the gloves on unless he was anxious above all things to get himself turned out of the combat. his plece of bad work has not even the merit of originality. To foul a man who is too _— apd who can hit hard, and especially to oul him by wrestling, and thus avoid a past- ing, has for long been a favorite trick of the boxing professional when he is in a difficulty and like a bunted rat, does not mind how un- savory the crevice into which he creeps to find shelter. Smith’s dearestfriends cannot well deny that as things were going he saved him- self from a great thrashing by flagrantly vio- lating the rules under which he was boxing. Before he resorted to throwing, Smith had shown himself utterly unable to cope with the nigger, although the latter is not by any means such a wonder as the crowd since his victory acclaims him. This - is to me the most marvelous feature of the entertainmeut. Accident excepted, anyone having the least claim to be consid- ered achampion ought to have held his own, say. until the fourth round, no matter what then happened. Readers need not now be told that I never had any high opinion of Smith, or that 1 have constantly pointed out that he has no one claim to be regarded as of real champion caliber, but I certainly do not believe the contemptible fig- ure he cut last Sunday night was the best re- turn he could make for the Peilcan’s oft-ex- pressed confidence in his capacity. His own seconds and his closest friends as well, admit that he was utterly unableto cope with Jackson as soon as the first round was over. Directly they got together there was only one in it. A waster from the street corner would have made as good a show with Jackson as was made by the ‘CHAMPION OF ENGLAND.’ „Another feature of the affair is that after a few passes Smith’s wind went to pieces. No man in a fair state of health could, aftera month or more’s preparation, have been thus distressed by so paltry an effort. Ifa man ete knocked out that his bad luck—the est man in the world has deen tumbled over before now by a hit which hap- pened to iand on the right spot—but such a pitiful display as was given by Smith when he clung tothe rope as helpless and exhausted as though he had been fighting for hours has never before been given in the entire history of either boxing or prize-fighting—that is when the fight or boxing match has really been what it professed to be. The generous pat- rons of . sport who subscribed £1,000 for the funniest show ever yet given by boxers of pretension must find themselves on the horns of adilemma. So must Mr. Smith, the now long while avowed petof the Pelicans. — he are welcome to either horn. No ho knows anything about professional ing need be told that Jem mith, ‘champion of England,’ is within a mile of his previously published form his how on Sunday night is utterly incompre- — Ifthe show is correct, then the 1 must de the greatest lot of asses, and ith himself must be the most colossal im- tor that even an age which bristles with asses and impostors hasso far been able to generate.

I., Dec. 5.—Another of Ameri- ca’s young heiresses has been captured by a foreigner, but this time an exception is noted in the fact that the man is already wealthy and does not possess a title. Invitations were issued last week for the marriage of D. A. Boissevein and Miss Anna Stolhoff MaGee.

A Remarkable Map Sent Out by the World’s Fair Executive Committee of the City by the Sewer—Seme Extraordinary State- ments—A New Departure in the Wash- ington Campaign. sos . ECENT develop- | ments in the contest *. tor the Worid's Fair have demonstrated two facts: the weak - ness and anxiety of Chicago, and the skill with which the ,8t. Louls campaign has been conducted. A letter was received this morning from 8 Washington by a aye’ member of the Com- 8 mittee on Foreign | ag Correspondence, de- — tailing the tactics employed by the representatives of the city on the sewer: to influence Congressmen to champion its cause for the Columbus quadri- centennial. A compliment is paid to this city by its rival by the close copyirg of its tactics. A CHICAGO CIRCULAR MAP. As every one in the country is aware, the St. Louis committee had many thousand maps printed showing the population and the number of miles of railroad encompassed by a circle of 500 miles radius,the center of which was St. Louis. The choice of a radius was based upon the distance that could easily be covered inaday’s travel, and proved that this city was nearer the center of population and has more ample railway connec- tions than any other in the country. The effect of this map has been most advantageous tothe cause of St. Louls, as has been proved by bundreds of let- ters received, and still more emphatically by the course of the Chicago delegation now in Washington. The national capital has been floodea with circulars from Chicago, copying the St. Louis map, but with several important alterations. In order to secure anything, like a favorable comparison three changes were deemed neces- sary: the increase or the radius of the circle from 500 to ‘1,500 miles, the estimate ~of population 1892 in- stead of figures taken from the last census, and the entire omission of the St. Louis circle, confining the comparison to New York and Chicago. ith a circle 1,500 miles in radius it is evident that with St. Louis as a center nine-tenths of the population of the country would be included, and the same would be true of almost any city west of the Alleghanies and south of the lakes with the single exception of Chicago. THE CAUSE FOR OMITTING the St. Louis circle is apparent ata glance, and also the reason for increasing tne radius, as It gives New York an immense sea area, On the map sent out by St. Louis both the New York and Chicago circles are given com- parison, being something to be desired and not to be avoided. The estimates of the population ef the dit- ferent States in 1892 are mostjamusing.Missour! is relegated to the eighth or tenth rank, both Texas and Indiana being placed far in the lead. But what is taken from Missouri is multiplied many times and added to Illinois. According to the Chicago view of the situation in about two years from the yesnens time Pennsylvania will have about ve and a half million inhabitants, New York less than six millions, while Illinois will be the home of more than nine million seven hundred thousand citizens of this country. The estimate is that in 1892 more than sixty- two millions of people will have their homes within 1,500 miles of Chicago. SOME PECULIAR FIGURING. This is about the population of the entire country, as estimated by the Census Bureau, and the rose color pervading the Chicago esti- mates is plainly evident, when it is taken into consideration that a very large proportion of the Chicago circle circumscribes the great lakes and the least thickly populated portlons of Canada. The circular is said to be the laugh- ing-stock of Washington, and the remark that this man doth protest to much, has become a familiar saying. The st. L ouis committee has made no comment beyondipicn- ing the map sent out from this city beside that of Chicago, the contrast being so strong as to render further explanation unnecessary. A peculiar oversight has been made by the Chi- cago committees. In the estimates of rall- road mileage in 1892 the Ohicago circle is credited with 70,000 miles. The measured mileage of St. Louis in 1889 is 77,571, in a circle of but 500 miles in radius. When this is dis- covered, a change in the Chicago estimates may be looked for. ANEW DEPARTURE. e mismanagement of the affairs of the St uis campaign in the national capital, which was pointed out in yesterday’s Post- DISPATOH, has not ped the attention of the Executive Committee, and the necessity ofa change has been strongly urged by many of the most influential and disinterested mem- bers, who have insisted that more spirit should be infused into the Washington cam- paign, but have been very unwilling to in- rfere with the plans laid out by the chair- man of the Committee of Two Hundred,and the Ohairman ofthe Executive Committee, as it was belioved that anything like dissension was to be avoided if possible. Finally affairs became so unsatisfactory that the members of the committee determined to act, and to take the mütter into their own hands. With this object in view a deputation called upon Frank Galennſe last week, and requested him to go to Washington, take charge of affairs in that city, and push the campaign as it should have been pushed from the first. Mr. Gaiennie, owing to the pressure of private business, felt compelied to decline, dut on Tuesd morning another call was made upon him, an the necessity of his presence in Washington still more strongly urged. He felt himself unable to resist a request made inthis man- ner, and on Tuesday evening took the train for Washington. He will take charge of-at- fairs in that city to-day, and itis confident! redicted thatanew spirit will be infus the campaign, and an immense increase in the vote assured to St. Louis.

New Tonk, Dec. 5.—The Times to-day prints this: A hero whom Wall street has not lately had much chance to celebrate made stock market hearts glad yesterday by reap- pearing. Mr. Edwin Gould is this attraction. Dreary tales have been current to the effect that this interesting young man had reformed and was pledged to his father never more to toy with the stock market, or at least never to be so utterly wicked as to sell ‘‘sbort’’ his parent’s railroad stocks. And apparently the lively lad did struggle tokeep in the narrow path, but yesterday out came the revelation that the wiles of the world had overcome. bim. It happened lately—or so, at least, the story oes in Wall street—it happened that Mr. Jay ould’s elder son, George, organized a pool in Missouri Pacific stock, proposing to bull it to higher figures. Jav Gould himself is re- ported not = to have approved of the scheme, but to have taken a personal interest init. Funds were deposited, brokers were hired,and ali the manipulative machinery was put in readiness for vigorous action. But somehow the boom failed to materialize. The clique worked hard and bought lively. They lifted the market by main strength up two or three points above 70, buying most at the top. Yet yesterday the price got down to 66. The more the pool seemed willing to buy the easier it has seemed to come out. Wallstreet has insisted that the depression was due to sales by Mr. Jay Gould, a charge that has been earnestly resented by that gen- tleman, who has lost no opportunity to help his son, George, by trying to talk up quota- tions. Still, there have been such indications of inside selling that followers of the pool have run, taking accumulated losses rather than risk added ones, while bear operators, encouraged by these inside indications, have joined merrily inthe raids and all the usual pounding processes. Now jauntily turns up Mr. Edwin Gould. Not a bit has he reformed. He gioats in un- brotherly fashion over the Missouri Paeific bull pools, Brother George is routed. His parent is undone, but Eddie can afford to do enough smiling for the whole family, and why not. Suppose you, gentie reader, hud an average profit of five full points of 25,000 sheres of stock, wouldn’t you be inclined to be jocular too? George le not broke, and Jay will still manage to subsist; but Eddie’s $125, - 000—the profit of a single week—may, it is feared, tempt even those better members of the Gould household to waver in their chronic goodness.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEw YorK, Dec. 5.—The execution by elec- tricity of Charles McElyaine, the murderer of Luca, the Brooklyn grocer, is set down to take place next week, between sunrise Mon- day and sunset Saturday. Warden Brush at Sing Sing has been quletly making prepara- tions for the unpleaghot event. The one-story brick building, 30 feet square, in which the electric chair is to be placed, has been com- pleted. It stands at the rear of the prison, against the walle of tne dark cells. A gang of convict stone workers were laying a heavy stone floor in the building yesterday. It is a dark, dismal place, and the back walls cannot be seen from the little narrow en- trunce. There are afew very small openings around the top of the wall, which are to serve as windows, but little or no light is thrown into the bailding from these openings. The bare brick walis will remain as they are, andthe oniy furnishings of the dismal chamber will be the fatal electric chair and the connections leading to the dynamo. State . Electrician Brown will have his instrument of death in thorough 2 4 or - der by Saturday next. Principal Keeper Con- naughton said that not more than twenty per- sons would be present at the execution. AI- though it was known that the comfdemned man’s counsel had filed a notice of 22 no official notification was received at the prison up to a late hour last night. It was stated by some ofthe prison officials that Warden Brush was much agitated and very nervous over McElvaine’s case, Free Christmas Gifts To ladies calling. Open till s p. m.

MAY BE RECONCILED. MR. AND MRS WELSH EXPECTED TO KISS AND MAKE UP AGAIN. An Aged Couple Who Have Separated and Became Friendly Again Six Times— Want a Divorce After Twenty-Seven Years of Married Life—Other Divorce Matters—Judgments on Notes, The Welsh divorce case, which entertained a large number of spectators in Judge Fisher’s court yesterday, was not taken up to-day, and there was talk of another compromise. John D. Johnson, for Mr. Welsh, and W. B. Thompson, for Mrs. Welsh, agreed to submit the question of alimony in briefs and introduce no othertestimony. The old couple were married in 1873 and have lived on their littie garden patch in Elleardsville up to the beginning of this year. A young man who has known the couple for ten years said the old folks could live happily together if they were left alone, but the wife being very seasitive and easily led, her alleged friends carry tales to her from her husband and from her to her hus- band, and in this way constantly keep them at war. The old gentleman is supposed to have considerable money hidden about the house he lives in, and itis said some outside parties are trying to get the wife divorced and secure a large sum of alimony and „take care of it for her. It is doubtful if Judge Fisher will grant a divorce, though Mrs. Welsh says she will beg from door to door rather than live with Dick Weleh. She has made this same declaration half a dozen times before, however, and has returned to her husband each time and friends of both parties hope to reconcile them again. Another Aged Couple Seeking a Decree. Another divorce case which has taken up two days’ time in Judge Dillon’s court ig that of Priska Becherer against Franz X. Bech- erer, an aged couple who were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock November 10, 1862, twenty-seven years ago. The wife claims her husband has been guilty of such barbarous and cruel treatment as to endanger her life. He would frequently become intox- icated, she said, and would create a lively stirinthe household. He would accuse her of infidelity and call her vile names. She asks for alimony and he contests the divorce because he does not want to pay alimony and is represented by Henry Kortjohn. Joseph T. Tatum represents the wife. One witness in the case is a daughter 2% years of age, who takes sides with the mother. OTHER DIVORCES. The divorce case of Michael J. Fox against Catherine C. Fox was dismissed by the wife in Judge Fisher’s court this morning, and the cases of Jacob Buntru against Walburga Buntru and Eliza Stewart against Charles a were dismissed for want of prosecu- tion. Decrees of divorce have been granted Mrs. Julia Geimer against Louis Geimer, Adaline Wade against Otis Wade, Mary Wolff aguinst Christian Wolff, Elien M. Monroe against Menzo D. Monroe. Notes.

The capital stock is $20,000, divided into 200 shares of $100 each, of which Obris- topher Mackerman holds 180shares and Ignatz OC. Muckerman and John C. Muckerman ten shares each.

New York Tombs Prison the Scene of the Execution—The Work Well Performed— History of the Orime—The Condemned Man’s Last Night in His Cell— His De- meanor on the Gallows. NEw YORK, Dec. 5.—At preoisely 19 minutes past 7 o’clock Sheriff Flack and Under Sheriff Sexton heading a corps of Deputy Sheriffs arrived atthe Tombs prison wearing silk hats and carrying the staffs of their office, The procession of the officiais passed through the reception corridor and out into the prison vard. Here the Deputy Sheriffs formed a line along the space justin front of the gallows which had been erected in that section of the yard nearest the junction of Franklin and Elm streets. Sheriff Flack and Under Sheriff Sexton then entered the prison and at once visited the cell in murderers’ row where Car!- ton was calmly awaiting their arrival. Father Gelinas, the kindly natured Tombs Chaplain, and father Holland of St. Francis Xavier Church, in Sixteenth street, were with the condemned man. The priests had been praying with Carlton, and he seemed resigned to his fate. The Sheriffread the death war- rant, andatonce motioned to Hangman Joe Atkinson. Dr. E. C.

Account of the Quarrel Which Resulted in the Death of Morgan and Willis. BUTLER, Mo., Dec. 5.—A fearful tragedy Was enacted last night at the house of City Marshal J. H. Morgan by whichj Morgan and Deputy United States Marshal J. P. Willis lost their lives. On Monday Willis attacked Capt. J. W. Hannah and was arrested by the City Marshal. He was released a short time later and went to Kansas City, where he swore to warrants against Morgan and Hannah for obstructing a United States officer. Yesterday evening Willis and 8.8. Price of Washington, D. C., went to Morgan’s house. Willis called to Morgan to come out, which he did, armed: both men fired at the same instant@nd both were wounded in the abdomen. Willis and Price dragged Morgan from the door, and Willis beat him about the héad and shot him three times. At 1:30 Morgan died and Willis died at 4. JEFFERSON CiTy, Dec. 5.—The Grand-jury is investigating charges against Alexander Wil- liams, a St. Louis negro whose term of two years expires on Saturday. He is said to be the most vicious brute ever confined at Jeffer- son City. In the past three monthe he has. crippled three convicts and tried to murder half a dozen more. * ON THE SCAFFOLD. With the bangman marcbing ahead with bowed head and hatin hand, the procession to the gallows started at 7:29 o’clock. Fol- lowing the hangman came Sheriff Flack and Under Sheriff Sexton. Then came the unfor- tunate victim of hie oon pagsions. Carlton was attired in a wqell-fitting black suit of clothes. He looked pale, but main- tained that steady nerve which he has all along displayed. When near the gallows the Sheriff and Under Sheriff steppea to one side and Joe Atkinson at once adjusted the noose, pulled the black cap over Cariton’s head, gave a signal and the murderer of Policeman Bren- nan swung into the air, a dangling, limp mass of almost lifeless humanity. A few convul- sive twiches and all was over. It was withina few seconds of 7:30 o’clock when Carlton waiked under the gallows and at 7:30 he was hanged. The execution was as near pertection as such things can be. There was no evidence of bangling and the Sheriff expressed himself as satisfied. BOYS’ READY MADE SUITS.

Broadway and Pine. Carliton’s Last Night. By Telegraph to the PosTt-DISPATCH. NEW YorK, Dec. 5.—Father Gelinas, the Catholic priest, sat for tbree hours in the murderer’s cage in the Tombs last night and gave Harry Cariton religious consolation. The doomed man received his adviser’s spir- itual cheer with avidity. He made his last conression and then the wortby priest retired to sleep in a ceil near to Cariton’s cell. The dying man bore up wonderfully. His nerve astonished Deputy Sheriffs Wild and Fitzger- ald, who were on his death watch. Carlton discussed the forthcoming tragedy, in which he was to take such a prominent part, coolly and calmly, betraying no emotion. Even when his father, wife and sister-in-law called to bid him farewell in the afternoon, he did not shed a tear, but they wept plenti- fully. The parting scene between him and his wife was touching. His last words to her were, Good bye, dear. She was too much affected to answer. During the remainder of the afternoon the Sisters of Mercy remained with him and turned his thoughts to heaven. ‘‘lam not afraid to die, hesaid once, but I hate to die on the gallows.’’ One by one the usual sounds of the Tombs died out and darkness succeeded daylight. At 6 p. m. the sisters left and then Carlton became somewhat restless. He called for his supper and a bountiful repast was sent to him. It consisted of eggs, toast, tea and fruits, but Cariton did not seem to relish it and did not finish the meal. Can't you eat, Harry?“ keepers. „Eat?“ he asked, with a slight uprising of the eyebrows and a shrug of the shoulders. No, lcan’t eat any more. He dropped wearily into a chair and buried his bead in his hands. He remained there only a moment. Then he arose and began pacing up and down the cage. He drew a cigar from his pocket and lighted it. He puffed it nervously until it was smoked up, and then Father Seline was admitted. There- after he became calmer. A few minutes past 9a man applied at the Franklin street gate for admittance. The Warden was away just then and his clerk asked what was wanted. The man said hisname was James McKenna and he was a brother-in-law of Cariton and was working in Newark. Under-Sheriff Sexton came to the door, and as the man was evidentiy under the influence of liquor both Mr. Sexton and bis clerk re- fused him admission. About Ii p. m. Martin Osborne went in to bid Carlton good-bye. **Good-bye,’’ echoed Carlton, Oh, I must see you once more in the morning and say good-bye then. Make it good-night now. Oariton retired to sleep his last sleep at 11:30. Within five minutes he had closed his eyes and 1 temporarily forgetful of his earthly trouble. Grain Shipments From Baltimore. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 5.—The most active day’s business in grain charters in the history of this port was that done yesterday. Nine steamships were chartered to load full car- goes of grain for Cork for orders in the months of January, February and March. The total quarters call for over eighty thousand quar- ters, about 650,000 bushels of grain. — endent of these full cargoes berth room for 4,000 quarters was taken, making total business of the day foot up over 832,000 bushels of grain to be shipped in the months mentioned. These figures are largely: increased by pre- vious chartersand charters yet to be made. There has been unusual activity not only in vessels for grain, but in the general cargo business. The Journal of Commerce of Novem- ber 30 gives the names of eighty odd steam- ships chartered at this port. Ingalls’ Christmas Price List, Page 5. Straw and Rag Paper Trust. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 5.—A movement is on foot to form a straw and rag paper trust for the purpose of restricting production and ad- ~ wancing prices. Agents have been operating in the West with considerable success and are now working their way East. The headquar- ters of the proposed combination will prob- mbly be at Chicago. If the trust is formed it ili be one of the greatest in the country, as ere are over one thousand straw and rag rapping-paper milis in the United States. * a2ese mills are of various capacities, some making oneton a day and others as high as sixty tons every twenty-four hours, and mill- ons of dollars are invested in them.

It occurred on Sunday morn- ing, on October 28, 1888. His victim was Jumes Brennan, a policeman attached to the Thirty-fifth street station-bouse. The facts of the shooting, as elicited at the trial, which began on December 10, 1888, are as follows: In 241 with two young toughs, named Eddie O’ Hearn and ‘‘Youle’’ Bourke, Carleton entered Robert Tucker’s barroom at the southwest corner of Thirty-third street and Third avenue. It was early in the morning. A few minutes previously a waiter named Julius Roesseler had entered the saloon. The three men asked the waiter to treat. He re- fused, saying that he did not snow any of them. Some angry words followed, the most vehement being Carlton. Presently the four went out on the sidewalk, where Oariton and his companions assaulted Roessler. @ disturbance at- tracted the attention of Officer Brennan, who was a square away, and as he ran to the scene the trio took flight. He pursued them and as he was gaining on the fugitives they halted. When Brennan had come within afew yards of Oariton the latter drew out his pistol—one of 88-caliber—and fired twoshots. Both bul- lets struck the policeman inthe face and he died two hours later. After the shooting the murderers fied, but after a brief chase they were arrested by Officer Colgan. Carlton claimed on his trial that he did the shootin sentenced for Arson. : 5 Ry Telegranh to the Posr-Disraron.

A number of agriculturiste were seated on the stage. Chairman Lake intro- duced Mr. Beaumont, who at once began speaking.

These two co ittees were appointed in 3338 . mer com · me y ment. ng, which wantise anaes tek t whole convention, as at it was de the alliance and Farmers and 2 a ** ts . * 1 It | ) : cided wi e e Seat “Width e on Planters’ Houge. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Sprague of Minnesota, and the idea of consolidating was discussed at length. There were no dissenting © voices when the question was put to a vote, whether the alliance would consolidate with the Farmers and Laborers’ Union on certain con- ditions. The conditions were the approval of the step taken by the delegates by the differ- ent alliances. The meeting was a secret one, only members of the Conference Committees being admitted. A COMMITTEE ON BESOLUTIONS. About 10 o’cloex it was decided to appoint a sub-committee to draw up resolutions to be presented to the alliance meeting this morning. The committee ap- ointed was composed of Messrs. Page of firginia, Patty of Mississippi, Sprague of Minnesotta and Powers of Nebraska. Mr.. Sprague was made Chairman. This morning at 8:30 0’clock the sub-com- mittee metin Mr. Sprague’s room, No. 409, and atonce commenced the work of draught- ing resolutions for the proposed consolida- tion. Mr. Sprague requested to be permitted speak afew words to the committee and he was admitted to the room although others were not permitted to enter. AN ALLIANCE MAN’S OPINION. Mr. Clowse of the alliance was interviewed this morning by a Post. isPatcH reporter on the question of congolidating. »The idea, as near asI can give it to you, is this. Here is the plan in a nutshell. The committee will draw up a series of resolutions, the substance of which will be as follows: The Farmers“ Alliance will consolidate with the Farmers and Laborers’ Union when two-thirds of the number of States represented by alliances agree todoso. The reason that definite action is not taken now by the delegates, that is, why they don’t vote either for or against it, is because of their limited power. They only have the power to suggest things to the alliances represented ~ 4 them. When this new constitution, whic will be drawn up by the delegates here before adjourning, is ratified by two-thirds of the States having alliances, then the consolida- tion will be effected. There are only nine States in question, and five of them have already expressed a wish to join the Farmers and Laborers’ Union. We only want one more State and we may get this before adjourning from St. Louis. The delegates here all want a consolidation, but have not the requisite power. The alliance will probably elect new officers to continue the work, but this will be only temporary. Thetwo organizations will er a be consolidated before a month.’ ANOTHER COMMITTEE. After the Committee on Resolutions had re- ö to the Conference Committee, Messrs. N. B. Ashby of Iowa, Walter Muir of North Dakota and J. H. Powers of Nebraska were appointed a committee to draft the resolutions for the alliance, and they at once adjourned to room 409 for that purpose. ° Mr. Ashby, Chairman of the committee, was asked concerning the resolutions, and said: Lou can just say that you found the com- mittee hard at work drawing up resolutions and that l said they would probably not be ready until the evening. There is no doubt, however, that we shall consolidate,’’ In the ladies’ ordinary a secret meetin the alliance was held. Messrs. derly, Wright and committee from Labor, were present speeches in favor of a confederation between the Knights of Labor and the Farmers and Laborers’ Union. The alliance méeting was for the purpose of killing.time until the Com- mittee on Resolutions reported. AT THE EXPOSITION. About fifty members of the Farmers and La borers’ Union were present at the mect- mg in Entertainment Hall this morning. There was no work which could be done until the committees reported, so the time was taken up in speech making. Every ante-room was occupied by a commit- tee, and they were trying to get their reports prepared for the afternoon meeting. ' The annual reports of thé National .Treas- urer and Secretary will probably be read to- morrow. | ae Last evening a meeting was held in room 10, Hurst’s Hotei, by the business agents of the Farmers and Laborers’ Union.

Will Kiss and Make Up—Firemen to Get Twenty-Four Hours Off—Municipal Mat. ters. There is a very unfortunate man in Chicago, and he has inthe last extreme appealed to the Mayor of St. Louis for aid. It won’t do him much good, because his case is hopeless. The poor unfortunate is floundering in a sea of trouble—and garbage—from which no earthly power can save him. Mayor Noonan appreciates this, and said so this morning when he read the following letter: CaIcaGo, Dec. 3, 1889. To the Major of St. Louis, Mo. DEAR Stn—Having been assigned the duty of formulating a plan for the disposal of garbage ashes and street sweepings in this city, i should be pleased to receive as detailed infor- mation as possible ofthe methods in use in your city for the disposal of these materials, together with the address of any company in your city engaged in the reduction of garbage, etc., to fertilizers. Please send me a copy of your last annua! report and oblige. FREMONT HrLL, Ass’t Engineer. After reading it a second time he murmered::. Poor man! Just think of the task imposed on him by that unfeeling city. Iseeno help forhim. The only way Chicago can get rid of its garbage is to move the town away from it, or, perbaps, set aside certain streets where the garbage can all be put and then start cabbage gardens. Take it any way at all it is a fearful job andI fear the man will be com- pelled to resign.’’ Street Commissioner Burnet, who was present, said: Perhaps Col. Jim Hardy, our City Collector, can give them some in- formation. The Mayor fell in with the sug- gestion, and Mr. Hardy will be requested to give such information as he can. The Mayor will send his annual report and every effort will be made to 2 the unfortunate man who has the painful delusion that Chicago ever can be cleaned. Firemen’s Holidays. Mayor Noonan this morning fell into line on the firemen’s holiday question and now each fireman when he takes his day off will have literally a day and not sixteen hours as here- tofore. The Muniejpal Assembly passed a concurrent resolution instructing the Chief togiveevery fireman a day off, to be twenty- four hours long land not sixteen. The Mayor approved the resolution this morn an now everything will go nicely. Mayor Noonan said to-day: ‘‘I donot see how such a sys- tem has become a practice. I cannot under- stand how it originated, but {neverthe- less it is a generally acknowledged fact that when inen are given a holiday they should be given a day, and twenty-four hours is the only length of time recognized as a day in law or anywhere else. The new system will 7o into effect as soon as the Chief can make up his schedule. Another Park Avenue Petition. Another petition on the subject of the Poo- pie’s road Park avenue tracks, was filed with the Mayor this morning. It represents the anti-Park avenue element, and the signers are all residents or that rtion directly on avenue on of the street facin Lafayette Park, between Mississippi avenue. : n are Jerome H „ „ ; x .

The B. P. I. Still Chilly. The members of the Board of Public Im- provements have not yet made up over the recent misunderstandings, and most of those in the mess are still pouting about their petty grievences and brooding over their alleged wrongs until in their eyes the have assumed a magnitude Ae disproportionate to their importance. As yet, however, the wheels of public im- provemente have not been clogged by any of these troubles and the results will not — ar until to-morrow when the board will hold its regular meeting there it is expected that each member with a grievance will say his little say and the once barmonious circle of bril- liant intellects will de restored again to its normal condition in time for a genpral pacification during the holidays.

On Monday next Mayor Noonan and a mem- ber of the Board of Police Commissioners will consult with the Health Department upon the subject of milk inspection which is now in a rather unmanageable condition, owing to the fact of the existence of State and city laws up- on the subject which conflict in many particu- lars. Theconference was to be held to-day, but the Police Commissioners could not get around so the matter was postponed. FIRST-CLASS pictures make the test, ttrauss’s photos are the best.
