Mayor Noonan Orders the Police to Stop All Work at Main and Flozida Streets. A Consultation With the Board of Public cision—President Rainwater Ordered to bee the Track East of the Middle ef the Street—A Large Section of the Street Torn Up Before the Police Took Hold— Mayor Noonan Will Stick by His Last Order. HE forces of the Merchants’ Bridge Term- inal Bridge Rallway went to work this morning to lay the track from Florida street south to Bid- dle, where the elevated structure commences. The work was under the personal direction of Engineer A. A. Stewart, and with the assistance of Foreman Christopher he pushed the work in every way possible. Operations were delayed at the start by a mistake made in Mr.Stewart’s instructions as to where to send the tools. They were to have been at Fiorida and Main at 7o’clock prompt, but at that time there were no tools or men either. The engineer telephoned quickly for new tools and for men, and at the same time ascertained the mistake that had been made and ordered it corrected atonce. A good hour was lost, however, and it was fully 8o0’clock before work Jwas fully commenced. A few minutes later a police patrolmap appeared, and ordered work stopped.” This was not looked for, and caused some surprise, but the diffi- culty was soon overcome when a sergeant of police appeared and withdrew the patrolman, leaving the railroad forces free to go ahead. Then, as it had been threatening to do, it be- gan to rain, and work was very unpleasant and under discouraging auspices for the next half hour. Engineer Stewart and his assist- ants stood through it, however, and by 9 o’clock the most of the. granite on the square men were moved on to the second square, It was at about this time ramored that the Chief of Police bad just received instructions to dend a squad of police to the scene, Stewart, when asked about the police or any | threatened trouble, said he could not see where it could come fc, ao he understood Mayor Noonan had deeided the question before him yesterday afternoon. As to an injunction, he could not see where it could come from, as the company had an ordinanceas direct as anything could de, and their plans had been fully approved by the Board of Public Im- provements. „Ot course,’’ he said, we want to get through as rapidly as possible, and thus lessen the inconvenience to the manufactur- ers around here. We ought to get through in two days. If we had not been disturbed when we commenced work Saturday night we would, with the gang of men we had then, have been through by Sunday noon. That is the calculation we made, and we had the pavers report at that time to relay the gran- ite. Itis not easy to pick up such a force of men, though. We have here this morning only about sixty men, but we will add seventy more, who are now loading material, in a short time, and hope to be done to-morrow evening. The tearing up of the granite is the slowest work. Wehavethe timbers all cut and holes bored, so that as soon as the gran- ite ie up all we have to do is to throw the tim- bers together, put in the cross bars and spike down the rails. THE RESUMPTION OF OPERATIONS — the circuinstances th is morning did not attract much attention. Laborers seeking work arrived every few minutes, and office men and others from the establishments lo- cated in that vicinity stood around in posi- heavy teaming, which gives that part of Main trouble might ensue from the blockading of removing the granite as it was taken up to along was kept clear aud teams moved time there made to get. through as quickly as eae to get ond the limits of the fluence that was really feared. The N haus is a stockholder in both t the Bridge and n laid push the work through as re Sg . tions sheltered from the rain and looke on, awaiting developments. About 9 o’oloock the street a b 1 hours of the day, began, ked as if the street.

After looking over the authorities it was found tha- it was out of the province of the board to det cide the matter and was the duty of the May- for s estions from the members and un was rag A decided to have the track putsix and a ha feet east of the center of the street, thus al- lowing any other road in the future ample space on the west side of the street. The Mayor then went to his office and wrote out the following notice to O. C. Rainwater: Dran Str—After full consideration of the St. Louis Merchants’ Brid : & Terminal Rallway Oo., and after consul with the Board of Pablie Improvements, 1 think, * of the present and future needs of the rallway traffic of the city, the center line of the track in uestion should be located six and one- halt (ou) feet east of and parallel to the center Ine ot Main street between Biddle and Fior- ida streets, and under my power as Chief Executive of the city government I make lhe above location and authorize you to proceed to construct the railway on the line above in- cated. Respecttully, EDWARD A. NOONAN, Mayor. Mr. Rainwater was present atthe time and he and the Mayor taiked the matter over for some time. Mr. Rainwater said that be could not agree to the arrangement until he had consulted with the Board of Directors of the railway company. His talk suggested that perhaps the order of the Mayor would not be accepted by the company. The Chief of Police was present at the interview, and was given ex- plicit instructions by the Mayor not to allow the work to proceed unless the tracks were laid in conformity with the instructions in the letter to Mr. Rainwater. Tne Chief sent word up to the place where the work is to be done and gave orders that all work should be suspended until word came from the Mayor’s office or through the Chief’s office that the Merchants’ Terminal Railway Co. had agreed to lay the track as instructed by the Mayor. MAYOR NOONAN SAID: 1 have consulted with the board, and they agree that the best thing to be done is to put the track down as I have directed, and I pro- ose to stick to my decision in the matter. he terminal people can accept the thing or not, just as they please. Isee my duty in the premises very clearly, and made my Cecision accordingly. „The board, while it has no authority in this case, hasa very decided opinion and Ire- ceived from them afew minutes ago the fol- lowing ananimous resolution on the track subject: Resolved, That in the opinion of the Board of Public Improvements, it is desirabie, as a matter of public convenience, that the track to be laid by the Merchants’ Terminal Rail- way Co. on Main street, between Biddle and Florida streets, be located with the center line ofsaid track, sixand a half feet east of and parallel to tne center of said Main street. That supports my view of the matter as the board inthis case is competent to judge what the best interest of the city are.’’ The reason why the track was ordered moved over was that it is almost certain that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road will bave an ordinance in a few days to run a track parallel to that of the Merchants’ Terminal at the point in question, and if the Terminal track was in the center of the street it would push that of the O., B. & Q. up against the west curbstone and be certain to — 21 ont * trom property owners at side, now, however, with the Mer- chants’ Terminal 805 feet further east it will be a fair divide of the territory.

This morning when Presi- dent Rainwater went to Fiorida and Main he saw an officer there and asked ‘him what his orders were. The officer replied the same as before, to not allow any work. The President told the officer he was under the impression that the Mayor had recalled his order, and asked him to call up the Chief of Police and make inguiry on this point. The officer did so, and returning said: ‘‘All right, go ahead.“ The only thing the Termi- nal people could see was a misunderstanding between the Mayor and the police, as they had certainly not desired to show any ‘spirit of defiance. THE ELEVATED LINE. The elevated ortion of the Merchants’ erminal Railroad runs from Biddle street along the Levee to Poplar street, across Pop- lar and through the blocks on the south side of Poplar to the Union Depot. At Biddle street — road leaves Main street and goes dlagonall the Levee, which it strikes about Was ; eet. The grade from the Levee to Main there makes it possible to run the road on a level, so that when it reaches the Levee it Is about fourteen feet above the street. All the way down the Lévee to Poplar street and around to Seventh it is an elevated structure from fourteen to twen feet above the street in the clear. At Seven street the road comes to the surface again and rans intothe depot yards, The roadway is built of iron, the supports made of angle iron, latticed, resting on masonry foundations with 31g 13ʃ2 granite caps; these caps are six inches above the street level, or just the height of an ordinary curbstone. Along the levei the west line of the road is built on the edge of the sidewalk and extends out over the street about twenty feet. The elevated portion carries a double track and will be built in such a way and of suff cient strength to allow the running of two trains over it at once.

It was reported this morning that the La- cledé Bank had decided to become a national bank, following the example of the Conti- nental and Bank of Commerce.

An Organized Gang of Highwaymen Taxing Pedestrians and Farmers—Thoe Residents Afraid to Leave Their Houses After Dark —The Vicinity Without Police Protection and at the Mercy of the Robbers—In- stances of the Boldness of the Footpads, HE western suburbs of the city are visited with unoomfortable , frequency by a gang N = of higbwaymen, and the district that bee sO notorious for its murders but a few months ago is now the scene of re- peated bold rod beries. The district is cat partially policed. The residents are in tear ot assaults and men dare not ven- ture out of their houses alone or un- armed for fear of the robbers. Bearcely a night passes but some lonely farmer is robbed, or some pedestrian forced to give up all ne has. The robbers work without any fear of the police and so far have escaped arrest, for the police, in spite of the numerous crimes that have occurred there, have no clew to the identity of the thieves and are as much in the dark as the terror-stricken residents. Of late a number of robberies of the most daring description have taken place. In the most settied portions, no man knows at what moment he may be sand-bagged and robbed or made to deliver his possessions at the point of a revolver. Instead of decreasing in number the robber- les appear to continually taking place at shorter int and with ALARMING FREQUENCY. It looks as though an organized gang offfoot- pads is at work in the West End, and the rob- bers are becoming emboldened by success and freedom from interruption.

C., Dec. 10. — At the St. Louis World’s Fair head- quarters two clerks are busily engaged sending out the literature forwarded here for distribution. That there will de a fair at all is yet a question. There are several im- portant matters concerning the South which will likely have an important bearing upon the proposition. The contested election cases are adsorbing the attention of Southern members and all of them are greatly exercised over the threatened legislation in Federal elections. Congressman Pendleton states that those matters first concern his delegation from West Virginia. Congressman O’Farrell, of Virginia, talks likewise, and in doing 80 voices a prevailing senti- ment among the Southern represen- tatives. The representative men intimate that until the House of Kepresenta- tives shows its bands on what they call pro- posed proscriptive legislation they have no desire for a World’s Fair. They want their Northern colleagues to put themselves on reg- ord on what they deem of first importance them at home. So it looks like an issue might here arise. The three St. Louis Congressmen, it is said, might take astand in the premises with the — which would insure a fair and for St. u 8. There are many members claimed by Chi- cago who are noncommittal. Congressman Cooper for one. Oongressmen Anderson and Banks may yet decide for St. Louis. Many in fact are those who are noncommittal and nothing but ument will bring them out. There are no discouraging signs for St. Louis. It is yet anybody’s fight. Pashing Gen, Shields. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATOR. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 10.—Letters and " telegrams are coming in from all directions urging Assistant Attorney George Shields for the vacant judgeship in the {Eighth District. The Secretary of the Interior has indicated his pleasure that Gen. Shields make ap- plication, and with it he will get the Secretary’s support. Gen. Shields’ friends are busy in his behalf, and will presenta memorial to the President in his behalf. As- sistant Secretary Chandler of Kansas will do what he can among the Kansas representa- tives. Jno. T. Hea is busy among Demo- cratic friends, and the following memorial will be forwarded, signed by the Missouri Re- publicans in Congress and others: WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 10. To the President: We, the undersigned, have the honor to re- vest your most favorable consideration of on. Geo. H. Shields as as applicant for the sition of Judge of the United States Circuit urtin the plaee recentiy vacated by Judge Brewer. In presenting the claims of Geo. H. s for the position we take pleasure in bearing testimony to his superior worth as a man, and his unusual at- tainments as an attorney and consequently peculiar fitness for this position. We believe there is no man in the West who stands high- er as a man and as an attorney, and whose fitness for such a position is more generally conceded. He has been an active practice for twenty-five years in the State and United States Courts. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Missouri in 1875 and has also been a member ofthe Legis- lature. Heis thoroughly familiar with de- talls of the practice in the United States Courts, as he has been Master in Chancery in a number of railroad and express pases and referee in the State and county where the most important questions of law have been considered. We believe it isthe unanimous wish of the Republicans of the State of Missouri, as well as of all the attorneys, regardless of political preferences, that he shouid be appointed. This sentiment is not confined to the State of Missouri, but he has numerous friends in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado who would be greatly gratified should he receive this appointment at your hands. December Cotton Report. WASHINGTON; D. C., Dec. 10.—The De- @ember cotton report of the Department of Agriculture relates to prices on the planta- tions. Correspondents refer incidentally to the progress of harvesting and status of the ungathered crop. All report late maturity. In the Northeru beit early frosts arrested de- velopment of dolls and seriously reduced the barvest. In the larger and more southern areas, while killing frosts were reported in some local- ities in October, losses were neither severe nor generally from that cause. In the most productive portions of the belt, Killing frosts are — mentioned as occurring until the last week of November. The season may, therefore, be considered a long one, counter- balancing measureably the late development of the plant. The top crop must be considered fairly abundant, and very general inention is made in the lower iatitudes of a burden of bolis yet unopened, which may open ‘with continuance of weather as good as week of December. een comparatively favorable and the lint is generally : bright and clean, though not everywhere of full length. Prices area little better than those of last December. Farm prices average as follows: Virginia 2.80. per pound; North Carolina, 8.5c; South Carolina, 8.66; Georgia, 8.6c; Fiorada (apland), 8°5c; Alabama, 8.60; Mis- sissippi 9.6c; Louisiana, 8,70: Texas,8.4c; Arkansas, 8 6c; Tennessee 8. 80. uality and mearness to markets affect t average slightly. On small farms, cotton is some- times sowed in the seed at relatively lowerjof prices, especially in parts Florida and Texas. that of the first Wade's Reward. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron.

The committee will make a partial report to the House upon the first day on which that body will bein legislative ses- sion, but will not ask to be discharged from the consideration of the subject as further investigation may be deemed necessary. Irrigation of Arid Lands. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 10,—T. F. Oakas, President of the Northern Pacific Railroad, was inthe city last week, accompanied by General Solicitor McNaught and General Man- ager Hanaford, to discuss with Western mem- bers of the Senate and House a plan to be laid before Congress at this session for the lrriga - tion of the arid lands of the West. Mr, Oakes — that Congress shall give to each of the Western States the arid lands within its borders. The Northern Pacific will lend its ald to irrigation companies to be formed un- der authority ofthe individual States for the improvement of these lands. The proposi- tion to take the irrigation problem out of the hands of the General Government is based on the claim that the proposition to appropriate the millions necessary to carry out the echeme of irrigation will meet witha strong opposi- tion in the East, and also on the claim that Congress will take fifteen years to accomplish what State Legislatures might do in five. Silcott Not in Quebec. QUEBEC, Ontario, Dec. 10.—It is now pretty certain that there is no ground for the state - ment made by American papersafew days ago to the effect that Silcott, the defaulting cashier of the Sargeant-at Arms’ office at Washington, had come to Quebec with his booty and poo pense by Hermene Thibault. The fugitives may be in the Province of Quebec or some other part of Oanada, but they are not in this city. \ Amer- ican papers have stated so positively that Hermene Thibault Is a native of Quebec that people here asking who she is. The detectives are not at all sure ofher identity. It is now considered 3 that Silcott and Miss Thibault will come to Quebec, their expressed intention of doing so probably being made for the purge of putting the autborities off their track. Senate Committees, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10.—The Repub- lican Senatorial caucus this afternoon adopted the report of Mr. Platt's committee upon the reorganization of the committees.

Nobody outside of the family in the house where she was stopping was present when Mrs. Lord died. It was known that the case was well nigh hopeless, but still her death was sudden and was not expected so soon. Mgs. Harrison and Dr. Scott are now at the house with the remains. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been made. (special)—Moody, Confirmed by the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10.—The Senate this afternoon confirmed the following nom nations: Robert P.

FEDERATION OF LABOR. The Delegates Welcomed to Massachusetts by Gov. Ames. Boston, Mass., Dec. 10.—A large number of delegates were present at the opening of the Convention dt the American Federation of Labor in the Common Council Chamber, Oity Hall, to-day. The chamber is handsomely decorated with the stars and stripes, red, white and blue streamers and with banners and insignia of the various trades represented tastefully arrayed. Shortly after 10 a. m. President Samuel Gompers rapped to orderand dispatched a committee to notify Gov. Ames and Mayor Hart that the convention had assembled. The entrance of those gentlemen was the sig- nal for great applause which continued until Gov. Ames was introduced and addressed the convention. ö The Governor welcomed the delegates 20 Massachusetts, saying they could not have chosen a more appropriate placefor their meeting. Speaking of the relations of capital and labor he said there is no natural antagon ism between them. Without capital labor is hampered and its results limited in these days of large operations, but without labor capital becomes unproductive. In your discussions,’’ said the Governor, „1 believe that you will bear in mind that those relations are reciprocal and that to shift the center of power too far in either direction is to invite disaster.’’ Mayor Hart was introduced and made a brief address welcoming the delegates to Bos- ton. Healso referred to the eight hour move- ment, saying it seemed to him it could not be contined to any one class alone, and the quicker we learn that we are one; that nobody can live unto himself alone; that civil society rises and falls with the rise and fall of its members, none excepted, the better it will be for all. The Governor and Mayor thén:retired from the hall.

LOUIS HAS A ROUGH EXPERIENCE Deceived by the Misrepresentations of a B Theatrical Manager, She Left Home and Foolishly Consented to Become His Wife—He Is Now Under Arrest in Pittsburg—She Will Return to Her Home. Miss Fature Gale Clark, a St. Louis — lady, is in trouble in Pittsburg. She left here about a month ago to join a theatrical combination in Cincinnati, having re- celved a liberal offer from there. Her friends here believed she was making name and fame for herself, and so did her mother until she yesterday received in- telligence that the girl was at Pittsburg, Pa., penniless, and that the man who had em- ployed her was under arrest on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, MISS CLARK la a very pretty young lady of the brunette type, with dark eyes and hair, and fair skin. She has a handsome figure and entertaining manner, and was a great favorite sociaily with those who knew her in St. Louis. Her father, Chas. A. Clark, came here from Arkansas a few years ago and went to work in the office of the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas Rall- road. The family was well known in Arkansas, Mr. Clark having heid the position of Cashier in one of the leading banks of the State. He was an intimate friend of ex-Atéorney-General Garland and one of his daughters he named Garland in honor of the distinguished Arkansas poli- tician. A little more than two years Mr. Clark died. The family lived at . 2003 Franklin avenue. He left considerable insurance on hie life, the amount being stated by some of his acquaintances as $18,000. Some months after nis death Mrs. Clark purchased herself a home at 4758 Hammett place, where the family now reside. Miss Future Gale Clark is the second daugh- ter. Miss Future Gale appears to have always had a liking FOR THE STAGE and among her associates her fondness in that direction was a matter of common com- ment. She. was what is generally termed ‘‘stage struck.’’ Over a year ane she obtained an engagement with cKee Rankin and played with him for sev- eral months. Then she came home and re- mained here notil about a month ago, when she received this offer FROM CINCINNATI and left to accept it. She went with her moth- er’s consent, and the fond parent thought all along that the girl was doing remarkably well until she was notified of the troubles which have overtaken her in Pittsbur¢. It appears that when Miss Clark left here it was to accept an offer made by Byron F. and James Gilkinson, to her. She met the former in St. Louis while she was in search of a theatrical engagement and two weeks later on November 9 went according to agreement to Cincinnati, and met him at the railway station. According to the girl’s statement he evaded her ques- tions about the whereabouts of his company, but finally confessed after the hotel had been reached that he had no troupe. He begged her him, she although j Then they went to Pitteburg. There, it is al- leged, Wilkinson and his brother James col- lected money by representing they were to give 4 rformance for the benefit of the Newsboys’ Home. ‘‘The Orge’’ was to be presented, and Miss Future Gale, a talented young lady, was to make HER FIRST APPEARANCE init. This young lady was Miss Future Gale Clark. The Gilkinsons had made no ar- rangements with the News- boys Home“ to give a benefit for the institution and were arrested for ob- taining money under false pretenses, Miss Clark being left aloneinthe city without a dollar. Efforts are being made there to raise money to send her to this city, where, she says, she can get an engagement with the Estelle Clayton company. Mies Clark has a marriage certificate showing she is the wife of Gilkin- son, but says she will be divorced from him immediately. BAIL FOR B. M. CHAMBERS. Application to Be Made to Judge Thomas, Who Is Now in the City. Judge Thomas came up from Ironton this morning to try as special judge some cases in the Criminal Court in which Judge Normile was disqualified. Charles counsel for Bartholomew Maziere Chambers, who, on October 22, killed Frank J. Bowman at his home near Ferguson, was present in the court to make application for bail. This application was to be made at Ironton, to which place the trial hes been removed. It has seemed strange to many of Mr. Cham- bers’ friends that he had the venue changed from St. Louis County where the man be killed was well known, and where he is best known, to Iron County where neither himself nor Bowman are well known. They argue that Mr. Chambers having lived all his life in St. Louis County and being known favorably to all ofthe citizens of the county,would receive bet- ter treatment at the bands of his neighbors thanfat the hands of strangers. Their contention is made without any knowledge of the facts. From the first it was apparent that Mr. Chambers would, not be dealt with generously. He was held by the Coroner’s jury after a prolonged inquest con- ducted in a strange fashion and terminating in a Verdict so strangely constructed that the Ooroner disapproved of it. He signed it, how- ever, after some pressure, though he did not afterward abstain from expressing his disap- 1 Mr. Chambers was heid without ball 5 the examining justice after a hearing proionged much beyond reason. During these hearings the two saloons of Clayton did a thriving business. Kvery inter- est in Clayton prospered and the pressure upon court officials for extension of the pre- liminary hearing was great. Clayton has few sources of revenue other than the visitors to court, and as court is not held the year round hay Is made while the sun shines. During the inquest and during the prelimi- nary examination the facts of the killing of Bowman were discussed by all the frequenters of Autenreith’s and Fortin’s saloons. Several local lights of the law led these discussions and gave direction to tnem. Bowman went to Chambers’ house to point out property to be levied on. Chambers resisted the levy, drove away Charley Garrett, the Deputy Sheriff, and killed Bowman. That was substantially the statement of the case made by them, and it is no wonder that after that the discussion took a turn decidedly opposed to Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers, though in jail at Clayton, was in touch with the feeling of the people. He was kept constantly informed of the saloon discussions and knew the direction of officiai sentiment regarding himself. He knew that it was not favorable and jwas not willing to go totrial there. Pending the application for change of venue he was very olitic in his expression and tried o change as much as lay in his power the feeling of the people, and so the impression is that he did not wish his cese removed. He finds much satisfaction now in the re- ting * confidence in his ultimate release om a * this is from him dated in the East, are delivered to her by her daughter without envelopes. She is so old and weak that . knowledge of her son’s situation would kill her. Mr. Ohambers is anxious to end this de- ‘ception, fearing that it may in same way mis- carry and so defeat Its object. Sheriff Dosenbach has treated Mr. Chambers very kindly while he has been in jail. He says Mr. Ohambers has been the best prisoner ever confined there. Before he was locked in the cell- house the bad negroes and low whites, who are the majority of the prisoners, were noisy, profane and unciean. After Mr. Cham- bers” entrance the profanity ceased. The prisoners while in jail were very 1 und great care was exercised by them in caring for their persons and cells. The reform has been wonderful and resulted solely from the influence of Mr. Chambers. The opportunity for the application for bail did not nt itself this morning, all of Ju homas’ time being occupied with other cases, but the application will be made at the earliest moment. 7 .

Louis Electric Rall - way Co.’s line across the bridge is such an improvement over former accommodations that the people of East St. Louis, at least, are quite enthusiastic over it. There is one drawback, however, that causes considerable Cissatisfaction, and this lies In the fact that the line does not ex- tend to Cahokia k, but ends about two, squares nearerthe river. There isnow a good prospect, though, of this being speedily rem- edied, as the company has decided to exten the line at once. At the next meeting of th City Council, which will be held to-morrow afternoon, a bill ranting the company, the right to so extend its tracks willbe pre- sented, and there can hardly de any opposi-' tion to its passage. It is probabie that it will be passed at to-morrow’s meeting under a suspension of the rules. The company promises, if this is done, to complete the ex- tension and have the cars running to Cahokia bridge within two weeks. Coroner Woods held an inquest last night over the remains of a little daughter of Mrs. Mary Miller, the child having died without medical attendance.

Fred Smith was tried before Justice Guentz yesterday on the charge of bastardy, pre- ferred by Josie Breedon. The evidence was highly sensational, and was so damaging to the claracter of the complainant that ehe failed o convince the Justice of her claims upon Su ith, and be was discharged.

Stone Sued Judge Dilion’s Decisions. Juries make occasional ‘‘bad breaks’’ in the Circult Court when sent out to return with a verdict, but it was left toa jury of six this morning to bring in two verdicts at the same time. It was in the case of Henry Visker against Charles H. Stuckmann and both sides agreed to submit the case to a juryof six. Visker was a driver for Stuckman and rented a house from him. Stuckman, he claimed, owed him $75 for services and Stuckman filed a counterciaim, saying Visker owed him $17 for rent. It was clearly shown that Visker owed Stuckman $17, so the only question left for the jury to decide was whether Stuckman owed Visker $76 for services. They were given two blank verdicts the first reading: ‘‘We the jury find for plaintiff on his cause of action in the sum of and we find for defendant on his counter-claim in the of $17.’’ The other form read: ' We the jury find for defendant on laintiff’s cause of action in the sum of eee and we find for the defendant on his counter-claim in. the sum of $17.’’ The jury were out but a few minutes when they returned smilingly and the foreman handed the papers to Mr. Gray, the clerk. fie read the fifat verdict, giving Visker $75 and Stuckman $17, and asked them if that was their verdict, and they answered it was. As he finished he spled the other verdict and asked the jury if they had returned two. Tes, we made one out for the other fellow,’’ said the foreman, with the air of a judge determined to see fair play. The second verdict was for the defendant and left the case where the trial began. After a talk with the Judge the second verdict was destroyed and the verdict for $75 in favor of Visker and for $17 in favor of Stuckman was allowed to stand. A Damage Suit on Trial. Lee Lyon’s $5,000 damage suit against Bats Johnson andG. M. Viernon & Co., contrac- tors, was begun before a jury in Judge Dii- lon's Court this morning. Lyon was working for the defendants where an additional story was being placed on the Laclede Hotel. Men and material were hoisted from the alley to the roof in the rear of the hotel. Lyons was a tinner and on the evenin of June 6 last got on the elevator and starte downward. The car struck the bottom with great force and he was badly burt.

The Bodies of the Men Torn Into Shreds bg the Force of the Exploding Nitro-Glycer- ine—Supposed Cause of the Catastrophe —An Early Morning Shock at Salisbury, Mo.—Bulidiugs Shattered. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 10.—A Butler (Pa.) special says: At 9:15 this morning Butler was shaken from center to circumference by a nitro-glycerine explosion at the Butler Torpedo Co.’s magazine, two miles south of town. The explosion occurred when cans were being put into the wagons at the factory. James O. Woods and William Medill and their wagon and team were biown into unrecog- nizable fragments. The woods in the vicinity of the magazine are being searched by hun- dreds of men for the remains of the men and the greatest excitement prevails. The larger part of the factory buildings are demolished. The factory was crushed dowu and only the smokestack remains intact. The rafters of the magazine fell down over the glycerine there but it did notexplode. Woods’ shoulder and right arm have been found twenty rods away. Asmall part of Medill’s trunk was taken from thetop of atree. The theory is that Woods let a can ofthe explosive drop when handing it up to Medill who was inthe wagon. A great hole was made in the ground where the wagon stood. Buildings Shattered at Salisbury, Mo. By Telegraph to the Post- DISPATCH. SALISBURY, Mo., Dec. 10.—At 5:30 o’clock this morning every house in Salisbury was shaken bya loud explosion, and those who were yet asleep were awakened, many think- ing itaclap ofthunder. But immediately an alarm of fire was given, and in a few minues a large crowd congregated around the post- office, the place from whence came the flash and explosion. All the doors and windows in the back of the building were blown out, and the doors and plate glass in front were scattered across the street, while fire could be seen inside. This was quickly extinguished and examination showed that the contents of the buliding were utterly demolished and the.south wall separating this building from the bank of Salisbury was torn to splinters, allof the iron pillar support be- ing broken, leaving scarcely any support for the upper floor on either side. Thenorth wall was between the Palace drug store and C. M. Rumsey’s jewelry store and was not seriously damaged, as it was of solid brick, although the contents of the building were badly dam- aged. Bottles of medicine, drugs, clocks, silverware, et., were scattered over the house and the back doors and front glass knocked out, 0 Jim Gallemore who was sleeping in this store, was knock out in the floor but not hurt. Squire Hilton’s family, who were sleeping over the Postoffice building were terribly shocked and almost paralyzed with fear at the concussion, but luckily no one was hurt. The Postoffice fixtures were totally wrecked, as was J. F. Fidler’s groce stock in the same building. The bank building on the south is terribly damaged, but as yet no estimate can be made of its extent. Plate- lass in other buildings further off was roken. There is much speculation as to the cause of the explosion. Some attribute itto the work of robbers, who miscalculated the effect of the blast. Others believe the shock was caused by the accidental ignition ofa keg of powder in Mr. Fidler’s store. At present no definite —— 2 can be given, but the weight of opinion favors the burglar theory.

The first guess has the best chance to win. wT wned by private es, the majority being held by Mrs. J. L. D. Mor- rison and Parker, Russell & Co. The im- provements upon it are notof an expensive character. A FIFTH err is between Lindell avenue and the Wa- bash tracks and Union and Jacobs avenues. It is so iocated that a large portion of the northwest portion of Forest Park can be included, and it can be extended north to the Olive street road. It is from 100 to 600 acres in extent, the principal private owners being Hugh McKittrick and Daniel Catlin. The last location recommended by the com- mittee is from 100 to 800 acres in extent, and is situated south ofthe Fair Grounds, between Prairie and Lambdin avenues. The largest owners are Julia Mafiitt, the Lindell estate and Chas. P. Chouteau. A careful survey has all these tracts. The least in eleva- tion is 80 feet above the river. When it is recollected that no point available within ten miles of Chicago has an elevation of over 15 feet above the lake, the advantages of St. Louis as regards drainage can easily be estimated. Every site proposed is either im- mediately contiguous to, or very near a main line of sewer, and each is reached by one or more lines of street cars, the 8 facilities being in most cases eapable of sup- plement by the steam railroads. The members of the Site Committee are very anxious to have the locations recommendea passed upon by the Executive Committees, mapped, andsent to Washington, and have for several days been importuning the Chalr- man of the Executive Committee to call a meeting to take action on the plans sub- mitted. OTHER LOCATIONS will also be presented for consideration. Many members of the General Committee of Two Hundred beileve that Forest Park with its 1,800 acres would afford the best site in the country. Othersare in favor of renting the Fair Grounds and such adjacent property as may be required.- Not a few believe that the heights along the river in the south- ern part of the city, contiguous the Oak Hill road, would afford an excellent location. It is 1 that all these sites will be included on the map to be prepared by order ofthe Executive Committee. These maps will be sent to Wash- ington, and to all other parts of the country, and will, it is believed, prove to all that St. Louis can offer more and better sites than any city competing for the Fair.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatca. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 10.—The geolog- ical survey of the State is now dhder fall headway, and reports are coming in from at work in various localities. Prof. Ar- thur Winslow, who is at the head of the sur- vey, has established headquarters at the capital, but spends most of the time in the field and mines. The State appro- priated $20,000 for the years 1889-90, and this zum is sufficient for the policy outlined. lees country consists of sheets of rock formation, and to trace out the layers which Indicate mineral is one object of the survey and of prime r at the start. o those not familiar with the work such de- tails appear impractical and frivolous. The State of MissOuriis a vast field for geological researches, and valuable minerals abound in sucb vast quantities that it seems like folly to attempt to estimate the same. **I think that the Geological Bureau should present such areport tothe publicas will show the mineral resources of each locality in plain and truthful language so that even & stranger can gr 4 ascertain what each vicin- ity represents. This is what the people have a right to expect and whst Iwill earnestly en- deavorto accomplish. Iwill first endeavor to show the minerals, buliding stones, sands, etc., of each county, and hope afterwards to reduce the same to townships, if possible. I think that a geological report should clear! set forth in plain language ali the actual an prospective mineral wealth ofacounty.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATcn. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 10.—The Cole County Grand-jury has returned an indict- ment for murder in the first degree against Barton Smith for killing Sherman Brown last Mey. Both were convicts working in the Penitentiary, and the murderer killed his victim with ashoe- knife, The murdered man was serving a short term for perjury, from Randolph County, and his slayer was likewise a short-term man from New Madrid County. Outside of the prison officials this murder was unknown until afew days ago. The évidence before the Grand-jury in no way holds the prison officials responsible. Consequently, it is a. F matter to understand why the crime was not made public sooner. Smith will be tried at the next term of court, and his chances of conviction ot murder in the first degree are considered good. The Grand-jury has returned several in- dictments against Alexander Williams, a negro convict from St. Louis, for as sault with intentto kill. He has been sen- tenced for two years on one charge and the other cases continued. The prison officials say thathe isthe worst convict ever confined in the Penitentiary. His viciousness is all di- rected against the other negro convicts, three of whom he has crippled for life, one with a hammer and two with stones. He also 68 caped from the Penitentiary once, but was captured by a hunting party. THE CHESS TOURNEY. How the Contestants Stand After 220 Games Played.

Dr. Garcia is well known in thie city, having been a resident since 1865. For the last three years he has been a great sufferer from asthma, and a short time ago, accompanied by his son, ‘Charles Garoia,Jr., visited Fort Worth, Tex., for the purpose oftrying to regain his health. The change of climate did not have tne bene- ficial effect hoped for, and he expired at 5 a. m., December 8. The deceased was of Spanish descent. He was born in New Orleans, La., November 24. 1845. His grandfather was Governor of Louis- jana during the Spanish regime, and his father, Felix Garcia, was Senator for Louisiana and was a wealthy planter in that State. At the age of 16 Dr. Garcia entered the Con- | federate army, where he remained until the close of the war. In 1865, with but 40 cents in his pocket, hecameto St. Louis, and having aroused the interest of Dr. McDowell, was ad- mitted to his college, from which he after- Wards took the degree of doctor of medicine, He was married in 1869 to Miss Margaret Con- nallen, an accomplished lady of this city, and devoting himself energetically to the practice of his profession he soon obtained both honor and fortune. Ever since the founding of St. Mary’s In- Armary, Dr. Garcia has been physician and surgeon in charge, and the erection of the present large and well equipped hospital, which towers above the surrounding struct- ures at Sixteenth and Papin streets, is largely due to his personal efforts. His relatives who survive him are his aged grandmother, in Paris, france; his mother, in New Orleans; his wife, and six sons. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Dr. Garcia, who entered the Southern army as a private, had many thrilling experiences. He seldom talked of the events of the war, as he said that it revived painful memories that were better forgotten. From a friend of his the -_ wing story of the doctor’s experiences = the retreat from Oorinth in 1862 was — Gen. Braxton 885. then second in command to Gen. P. Beauregard, whom he afterwards superseded, was r- sonally superintending the loading of the cars bound for the rear. nder him was an officer who was swearing at the men and inciting them to greater exertions. At that moment young Garcia, who was suttering from lilness, passed near, looking for the cars that were to convey the sick to Tupelo. The officer stopped him and ordered him to help load the goods into the cars. He replied that he was too unwell to do -80; that he would have been with h® rezgi- ment had he been in good physical condition. The officer called Bragg's attention to Garcia, and the General ordered him to go to work at once. Again Garcia answered that he was too unwell to do so. ORDERED TO BE SHOT. With every appearance of rage Bragg shouted “What! You dare to disobey my orders?’’ do,“ replied the young man, The General called a Lieutenant dt a Lou- isiana company of regulars doing guard duty, and said: Take six of your company and , carry this man to that grove and shoot him. The Lieutenant called his men, but before going to the ove Gen. Bragg. took him aside and talked fora moment he recaici- trant soldier was then taken to the grove and laced upon a stool with his back to a tree. e refused to be blindfolded, but took off his watch, chain and ring, wrote a name on a — of pe per and handed it all to the Lieu- nant, asking that the jewelry be sent to the address given. Now Iam raady,“ he said. The muskets were leveled. The young man looked at their muzzels as calmly as though he was being photographed. After a moment the lieutenant ordered recover arms. He rushed upon the young soldier, complimented him upon his im 70 gg. returned his jewelry and ordered him to ‘*Where is the bo Gen. Bragg asked of the lieutenant a few Oe... latter. Gone, was the reply and the storv of the young man’s behavior was told.. The Gen- eral had search made for him, saying, ‘‘I’ll promote him. But he was not tobe found, and did not receive his promotion. A CONDEMNED MAN’S FEELINGS. Shortly before the departure of Dr. Garcia for Ft. Worth, a representative of the Post- DISPATCH called upon him, and asked him to ive his version of the story. In reply Dr. arcia said: In 1862 I was a member of the Beauregard Rifies of the Crescent Regiment from New Orleans. After Shiloh the Confederate army retreated to Corinth, and being attacked there made a demonstration, under the cover of which the retreat was made to Tupelo. At Corinth Iwas taken ill with camp fever. I could not find a surgeon, for everything was in confusion, and so I went to the train, where Iexpected to finda surgeon and get trans- ortation. IfeltthatI was not able to walk Tupelo with my regiment. I was stopped - described and taken to the woods to be ot. „What were your sensations while waiting for the command of fire?’ „Joan hardly teil. Aman who bas been in danger before will on such an occasion resign imself to his fate. A numbness comes over im and he does not much care if his last moment comes then. I had been in danger- ous places before; I had been in Shilob and in other actions. I resigned myself. Did * doubt you had been taken out to be shot?“ had not the least doubt in the world that Iwas standing there to be killed. As the muskets looked at me I took what I thought was my last breath. When the Lieutenant ordered the men to ‘recover arms’ I could not understand why I was not dead. As soon as I a liberated I went away uickly. The out- e to which I bad been subjected and prob- at y the fear caused by my danger had en- tirely cured me of the fever. I felt strong and well, and rejoining my company marched all the way to Tupe o without a reoccurrence of the fever.’ A SUBSEQUENT MEETING WITH BRAGG. Did you ever afterward see Gen. Brag oft **Isaw him at Tupelo. The Beauregard Ri bearing the name of the General and coming from his home, were detailed to guard his headquarters. I was on rd there one night, and at the usual time forrelief I was otten. Iremained there until morning, and becoming very tired I tore up bricks ffom the pavement and made a pile againsta tree high enough for me to sit mpos. yet appear to be standing.

You can stand there just as wellas here.’ I went m the porch and had béen there only a few minutes when Gen. Bragg came by. ‘Where is the guard?’ he shouted.

Daly, Wm. Quincy, Steve A. Malloy, Robert Farrell, Michael J. Mooney, J. Coltins, John Johnston and Jos. A. Murphy in the sum of $500 each. The defendants gave the proper bonds at once and were released. THE EVIDENCE submitted for the prosecution was such as was published at the time of the fight. George Jackson, the 15 year-old brother of the de- ceased boy, was the principal wit- ness. He sald that he had gone to Daly’s resort on the night of the fight. He heard that his brother was go- ing to fight, and wanted to prevent it. When he got there the fight had commenced. He described the conflict and told how Ahearn had struck his brother while he was down. The only witness examined to-day for the State was a newspaper reporter named Smith. The latter, it appears, was at the fight. He corroborated THE JACKSOK BOY'S TESTIMONY. No testimony was submitted for the de- tense. Upon the conclusion of Smith's testimony Attorney Jos. G. Lodge moved that allofthe defendants except Ahearn be discharged on the evidence. Judge Oamp- bell refused to consider the proposition, and held all of the defendants to the Grand- -jury as above detailed. The crime for which the men now stand held was committed on the night of Septem- ber 17. Edward Ahearn and Thomas E. Jackson had been bya number of the habitues of Pool alley matched to fight with gloves. The contest came offinthe saloon kept by Dan and Charlie Daly, at 112 North Seventh street, and was a bloody battle. Twelve or thirteen rounds were fought, Ahearn Sonting Jack son several times. Finally Ahearn struck his opponent a terrible blow in the neck and he fell like a log to the slip- pery floor. Ahearn fell on top of his pros- trate foe and rained blows on the back of his neck. Jackson was stunned when Ahearn was pulled off. He recovered before the next round, however, and stepped into the ring. Before a blow could be struck by either man he FELL BACK INSENSIBLE corner. He was ocarried into an upper room, where he lay in 4 stupor for several hours. About morning several physicians were called. They sent for Jackson’s mother, who arrived on the scene just before her erring son breathed his last. Ali the parties to the occurrence were placed under arrest and held by the Coroner’s jury to be responsible for Jackson's death, Ahearn as a principal, Dan Daly as the proprietor of the establishment, Charlie Daly as the master of ceremonies, William Quincy as the time keeper, Steve A. Malloy, Robert Farrell, Michael J. Mooney and J. Col ins as the seconds, J. Johnston or Ehriich as the stake-hoider and Joseph A. Murphy ae the ref- eree. Warrants were afterwards sworn out charging Abearn with murder in the second degree and the other prisoners with being accessories to the same crime.

DELAYED MAILS. Official Lassitude in the Postmaster-Gen- eral’s Office Causes Trouble. The Postmaster-General must be so busy making arrangementsfor the Sunday-school Christmas tree that he js forgetting the duties of nis office. The St. Louis Post-office is suf- fering for want ofclerks to properly handle its business, and every night mail is delayed because the force of clerks is not large enough to handle it. Mr. Wanamaker probably does not know thatthe receipts of this office for the two months just past were $19,600 more than for the corresponding two months of last year and he probably does not know that the b usineéss of the office has increased $250,000 clean within the lastfour years, although the force has not deen increased. But these are facts, and now the Postmaster-General is permitting the holidays to come on, the boli mall to pile up without taking any steps 2 relieve the office. Requisitions for additional! clerks were made months ago, and requisitions for clerks to work during the holidays only, extra men, haye been in for some time, but he has taken no notice of them. The result is that busi- ness mén and citizens are complaining of the delays that occur in deliveringthe mail. The delays do occur, there is no doubt about that, but the fault lies in the Postmaster- General's office, and the mall will continue to be de- layed until that office sends the clerks asked or. *"MONGST every creed, in every race, Flap Jack Flour bas a place.

THE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS. THE QUALITY OF THE PERFORMANCES AT THE THEATERS. ‘‘Mr. Barnes of New York’s’’ Initial Intro. duction to St. Loulisans—A Flimsy Play apd a Performance Mostly Unsatisfac- tory—Edward Harrigan in Old Laven. der“ Ihe Stbwa way, Mankind“ and The Night Owls.’’ „Mr. Barnes of New Tork,“ who has been introduced toa large part of the American public through Mr. Gunter’s novel, made his first appearance on the local stage at the Olympic Sunday evening. There was an excellent audience up and down stairs to greet him and his associates in the various circumstances in which Mr. Gun- ter places them in his drama. While there was much laughter at the amusing parts of the play and some genuine applause forthe stronger scenes of Miss Emily Rigl, the audience was inclined to be disorderly at times and even ventured to langh in serious Diaces and to ‘‘guy’’ two or three of the per- formers, it must be confessed not without occasion in several places. The drama does not appéal strongly to intelligent consideration. Tne effort to reach an intense and impressive result is far more apparent than the result. It is thoroughly superficial and strained even to absurdity. The plot is not without cleverness and in- genuity of construction, which in the novel hit a certain popular level of taste. On the stage, however, the filmsiness of the materials and the unnatural qualities of the whole work become exceedingly apparent. The serious incidents are undoubtedly dramatic, and by proper brilliant treatment on the partofthe dramatist and the players, might be made to reach an impressive, even thrilling effect. Mr. Gunter seems to have thrown his play together with little regard for artistic results. It is impossible for a love affair, which begins through the successful device ofa masher, and is ripened into an en- gagement under similar champagne and oyster influence within an incredibly brief time, to appeal to more than the risibilities, and in some cases tpe disgust of the audience. On the other band the serious portion is so unnatural at this time and is worked out with such diabolical inge- nuity that it defeats itself and the audience refuses to consent to it. Perhaps with an i genie strong cast throughout the pitch might be preserved, and the audience wrought up to the pitch, but as the play was resented the comedy was mostly arce and the serious scenes continually bor- — upon buriesgue. One can imagine a company with which the result might have been different, but it wouid be very different from parts of the present cast. Emily Rigl is an artiste of exceptional emotional powers, but while she oftefi did strong work either the strained nature of her part of Marina or the conscious- ness of having to do everything drove her into a theatric — of acting which marred the artistic result. Her skill was without a foil among her asso- ciates. This unevenness strengthened;the im- pression of over-doing in her work. Robert Hilliard gave a handsome figure to Mr. Barnes and while he acted the part with some ease and graceful effect, he falied sadly to develop its actual possibilities. Some bright and clever soubrette work was done by Annie Blancke as Maud Chartris, Effie Germon treated the part of ang | Chartris as well as it could be. Sheridan Biock worked bard in the role of Count Danella, but he was handi- capped by the remark of Marina that Lieut. Austruther would ‘‘crush his monkey form’’ and by bis lack of ability. B. F. Hendricks succeeded in making the part of Lieut. Ans- truther ridiculous and in spoiling several of Miss Rigl’s scenes. @ was amateur- ish and unfitted in every way for his role. Emma Field was also amateurish as Enid, but gave conscien- tious endeavor to her performance. Horace Lewis was satisfactory as Tomasso Monaldi, and the rest of the castranged from fair to d. With the exception of a couple of scenes the play had to depend for ite staging on the re- sources of the theater. The accessories did not in all cases fit the scenes. JINGLE. e*e« It was not in the best judgment, pepe that Edward Harrigan opened on Su ay night at the Grand in ‘‘Old Lavender.’ he major part of a Sunday night audience, as a rule, takes kindly to violent fun or violent tragedy, and as ‘‘Old Lavender’’ strikes a mean between gravity and levity it did not draw AR large a house as the attraction deserved, or per- haps as one of the roaring arrigan pieces could. Still any one who cannot enjoy „Old Lavender’’ has little kindly human na ture in his composition and little appreciation of qensine pbases of life. Harrigan, in his way, is a master sketcher. e has that keen perception of human nature which grasps the points of it and realizes how to utilize them so as to ap- pealtothe sympathies of others. One can find faults in his work and can see inconsistencies and lack of skiliful ad- justment and development, but the gen- nine quality must be récognizea. Character is pet agg defined and humor and pathos are — touched. Old Lavender’’ is among arrigan’s highest efforts, if it is not his pth © draws a fine recognizable char- acter in the generous, jolly, warm hearted old man, and brings out the humor and pathos of his circumstances with admirable power. Around this character there is thrown a lot of sketchy material and fun-making per- sonages and incidents. The songs are taxing and the scenes are amusing. Mr. Harrigan is in his best form d acts the part of Lavender with skill and spirit. He completely wins the sympa- thies of his audience. He is surrounded by a capable company adequate to the work in hand. Among -the priacipals who contribute to the rform- ance are Joseph Sparks .as Smoke, John Decker as ‘‘The Rat, John Sparks as Martin Reilly, George Merritt as Pop Jones and Zolla Brown, Hattie Moore as Mother Coggswell, Laura Booth as Laura 1 Fannie Bowman and others. The — ance is received with enthusiastic anghter and applause. ‘‘Old Lavender’’ will until Thursday, when ‘‘Waddy Googan’’ will be substitated for it. - . * The 32 at Pope's Sunday after- —* d not begin until after 8 o’clook, but when it did it went with a rush and was re- ceived as butfew plays are: The attraction was ‘‘Mankind,’’ an English melodrama pre- sented for the first time in this city. The an- dience was a large one and, once warmed up, a very enthusiastic one. It has been under - stood that ‘‘Mankind’’ relied upon its realism for its success. Though it is realistic, this is, in the accepted meaning of the term, a mis- e. It realistic and sensational, but is above the ordinary gallery audience. seat strength is in a chara ver? 3 is make-up as ash ol mee. 22 physically, bat his bra pet ah in ad muse of and water tra¥s, 35 cents and over. some, $1.50 a set. opes, for 10 cents each. bis partner planning to poison him, and in which he turns the tables and murders his partner, he has one of the best pieces of char- acter acting seen on the stage. While Mr. Thompson assumes such promin- ence, however there is an attracti@n about „Mankind“ which cannot be denied. As a melodrama it has some features not usual to such plays, and it is presented by a thorough- ly capable company, unless it be in the case of Mr. Glarence Heritage as Edmund Sharpley, the junior villain. Mr. Heritage has the face and figure for the part, but he at times loses control of his features and voice, and the ef- fect is bad. the other mem - bers of the company Miss Sibyl John- stone, little Gertie Boswell and Miss M E Holloway and 8. E. Springer, Forrest Robin- son, Herbert Ayling and Jos. L. Carhart do excellent work, while the others are entirely acceptable. The mectanical effects of the roduction are good and work very smoothly. The ship scene, with a heavy fog and rescue, worked very realistically, but she climax of realism, 80 far a6 ‘*Mankind’’ ig concerned, is not reached until the seventh act. In this the house con- taining Edmund Sharpley is attacked by a mob. The windows, and the house ig all win- dows, are broken in dy a storm of real rocks, and the scene is generally an exciting one. ‘‘Mankind’’ continues through the week, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees, Manager O. L. Hagan of Pope’s leaves this evening for Cincinnati on a short visit to relatives. 2 The People's turned away people Sunday afternoon, when The Stowaway’’ opened an engagement ofaweek and Wednesday and Saturday matinees. Firstthe galleries began to fillup, and then came the overflow to the down-stairs. The play is the same one which last season brought down the top-house gods in the most demonstrative applause. The company is composed in part of the same 1 and much of the scenery is on the same | There is an improvement, however, and more care to detail and realistic effects, particularly in the fourth act, which set with a full-fledged yacht, reaching from one side of the stage to the other. The real water is not there, but the real yacht 1, and that is enough. The safe-blowing jscene is also carried out in sensational detail. The company presenting the play is fully equal to its task. r. Jos. Slaytor makes a good Tom In 27 and Mr. Frank Losee as Charles erington, and Mr. Harry Boaker as Dickey Dials, the Stowaway, do very well, Miss Grace Thorne as Florence Etherington stands out prominently, presenting a flue appearance, and making a perfect character of the part. One of the most decided hits of the perform; ance, however, is made by Miss Marion El- more as Chuckey, the newsboy. Miss Elmore took the same part last season and made a great success of it. Miss Georgie Fox as Jeff- reys and Miss Sara Holmes as Aithea Dale are also good. - > — The Night Owls had a packed house, with standing-room space pressed, at the opening of the Standard Sunday afternoon. To say that the entertainment made a hit is simpy to repeat what has been said of it ever since it was first put on the stage. The company this season is a g00 one, and the programme made u pular fest- ures, conciudin with the ‘‘Scuiptor’s Dream, or,Living Models.“ The name of this implies what itis. It presents a very pretty and effective stage setting and gives oppor- tunity for the introduction of * ely women in more or less scant costumes. e opening, Lord Fauntieroy’s Reception, in ‘when Annie Wilmathb, Lillie May Hai and Natta, the lady juggler, and Topack and Steele, in negro mel- odies appear, is also taking. The other fea- tures of the programme presented by Sam Bernard, Frank O’Brien and the Laporte Sis- ters are taking. The operatic march, with Lillie May Hallas captain, is produced with good effect, »The Night Owls’’ play through the week, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The advent of a new play by the foremost American dramatists is under any eireum- stances ap occasion of great interest to theater-goers, but some eh gd is it when the play has had such remarkable success in New York and Chicago as Branson Howards great- est triumph, ‘‘Shenandoah,’’ has had. In the former city it has already passed its 100th night, and is still n to crowded houses, while in Chicago it has done tne largest four weeks’ business ever known in the history of McVicker’s Theater. It will be presente the Olympic for one week, beginning Sunday evening. - ° — When Sweet Lavender“ was produced in London it was considered a witty retort to the discipies of Zola and naturalism, who think a lay cannot be healthy without bein ine! pid. ‘he Theatre of London in commenting upon its first production, pronounced'the play ‘‘as brilliant as a flach of light,’’ while its charac- ters were good women and honest men. Its first presentation here by the Lyceum Theater Co. will be a notabie event. It comes to the Grand next week. FOR XMAS. 1000 SILK UMBRELLAS ($2.50 to $12.)

OnI1CAGO, III., Dec. 10.—A dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis., says: ‘‘Nearly all the pub- lic schools of Milwaukee were closed yester- day afternoon by order of Supt. Anderson in honor of A. H. Schattenberg, the Secretary of the School Board,“who killed himself Satur- day morning after sthe story of his defaica- tion was made public. The funeral of the suicide took piace in the afternoon, and the reason assigned by Supt. Anderson for his 8 oo nage was that be wished the teach- ers have an opportunity to attend the 2 It was not generally known until last evening that Anderson had ordered the schools closed in honor of the self-murderer and embezzier, and a storm of indignation arose which is steadily growing in volume. Men talk about the matter on the streets, and on every side the Superintendent was denounced. There was an exciting meeting of the School Board last night. The meeting was a special one and bad been called to make arrangement for investigating the accounts of the defunct Secretary.

Hosta of otherwise sensible people thus bewilder conjecture. It is one of the things which, as the late lamented Lord Dundreary exclaimed, no fellah can find out. Diseases grow faster than weeds, and, moreover, beget one another. Incipient indiges- tion, a touch of biliousness, slight irregularity in the habit of body~—what complex and serious bodily disturbance, not local, but general, do these not beget, if disregarded? Baffle and drive off the oe atithe first onset with Hostet- ters’s Stomach Bitters, sovereign among pre- ventives. A constitution invigorated, a circula- tion enriched, a brain and stomach tranquilized by this national zmedieine, becomes well nigh invulnerable. The Bitters counteract malaria, rheumatism and kidney complaint. — 01 TRADE me 1 , y CURES PERMANENTLY umbag SOLD . THE CHARLES A. — — ee M4. Es pounds $1.00. ST. Louis. parte of the me DIED.

A Decision From the B. P. I. About the Ca- ble & Western Terminus, The Board of Public Improvements Com- mittee held a meeting this morning to decide upon what report to make upon the subject ot the Cable & Western terminus at Sixth and Locust streets. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. George D. Capen for the Equitable Life Insurance Co. and others petitioned the city authorities to order up the switch there because it was an obstruc- tion tothe crossing. The objectors claimed very positively that the switch was a nuisance and must be removed immediately, as the business along Sixth street was being seriously interfered with by the cable grip cars switching on the crossing. The matter was referred first to the Mayor, then to the Street Commis- sioner, and finally to the Board of Public Im- provements, by the board it was sent to the Board Committee on Streets, and a meeting held on it this morning. It was argued that nothing could be done this winter on the work, as concrete and cement were necessary in the reconstruction of the switch, and these could not be put down in winter. Again one commissioner beld that the track and switch did not constitute an obstruction, but thatthe cars did. After talk- ing over the matter for some time the follow- ing report was decided upon: THE REPORT. Your committee respectfully report, that while they find the removal of said obstruc- tion desirable as a matter of vublic con- venience, they do not think there is any necessitv for doing the work atonce, as it cannot be properly done in cold and inclem- ent weather. gun now it would in all probability create 4a much greater obstruction, that would extend entirely through the ‘winter months. They therefore recommend thatits removal be pustponed until warm weather when the — can be properly and expeditiously one, The work referred toconsists in taking up all of the tracks and switches which now ex- tend some distance east of the west line of Sixth street and movine the whole business back to such a point tliat the ex- treme east end of the line would not cross the west building line of Sixth street. This would necessitate making a new conduit, new yokes and new switches at an estimated cost of Births.

CHICAGO, Deo. 10.—A dispatch from ‘Topeka, Kan., says: The Supreme Court has handed down a decision in the case of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway vs. D. C. Lindley, which involves a question not previously raised in the courts. On February 26, 1887, Lindley filed his petition against the company to recover $25,000 damages for personal inju- ries received. It appears that while stopping at a station Lindley got on top of the rear portion of the train attached to the engine and by a sudden forward motion was thrown off and received in- juries. Judgment was rendered against the company for the sum of $9,833. The company excepted and brought the case up to this court. The petition alleged that the conduc- tor directed the plaintiff to climb on top of the car and signal for the front portion of the train to be backed up and the engineer sud- denly threw open the gbrottle ana started the cars with so much force as to pitch the plain- tiff head foremost down upon thetrack. The court says that the order of the con- ductor to go on top of the cars and the signal was entirely without the routine of his duties, and as it was voluntarily obeyed by Lindley it could not fasten any liability on the railroad company. He oce cupied merely the position of a passenger who voluntarily assumed avery dangerous position atthe request of a conductor as a matter of accommodation. The Court holds that gross negligence on the part of the com- pany or its employes is not established, and reverses the judgment of the lower court. Great Rock Island Route.

Mrs, Southworth is now able to take but little nourishment and her lawyers think that unless her trial takes piace soon she will not be heard in an earthly court. She sees no visitors but her brother, mother and lawyers. Her mother calls daily with some delicacy to tempt her appetite.

Fitt death there yester. day afternoon of Henry Ernest Searle, champion single · sculler of the world. Searle, who was unquestionably the greatest oarsman the world has ever pro- duced, was born at Grafton, on the Clarence Kfvyer, in New South Wales on July 14, 1866, and was therefore 23 years of age. His father pur- chaseda farm near Erk Island, which is about forty miles from Grafton, and there the champion souller was raised from the time he was 7 years ot age. He had to row three and a half miles to school and when old enough had to also help do work on the farm. At the age of 17 years he was presented by his father witha racing skiff and the fol- lowing year, when but 18 years old, he en- tered a local regatta at Chatsworth Island for all comers in Waterman’s skiff and there won his first race. after rowing a number of races in Waterman’s skiff, his firstrace of any importance was on January 2, 1888, when he entered a handicap in which Ned Hanlon, the Canadian, was scratchman. C. Neilson was given 34 lengths start and W. Hearn, the New Zealand champion, 4% lengths and Searle 7 lengths. Hanlon Henry E. Searie. did not start, however, and Searle won, re- taining throughout the lead given him by the handicappers. Then he defeated first Wolf and afterward Jim Stansbury over the Para- matta River course, each race being for £100 aside. Inthe latter race he covered three miles and 330 yards in 19m. and 53s., lowering the record for the distance. This still stands as the record on the Paramatta and Searle always said it was the hardest race he ever pulled. For a mile and a half of the distance it was nip and tuck between them, each straining every muscie to win. In September, 1883, Searle easily defeated C. Neilson over the same course for £200 a side. A fortnight later on the Hunter River he allowed W. Hughes ten seconds start and defeated him, the match be- ing for * side. Searle!“ s boat sprung a leak, and he had to stuff his cap inthe hole. Despite the fact that the water was rapidly filling his craft the coming champion won, though his boat sank bel the water’s surface just after he had crossed the winning line. On October 28, 1888, he rowed and defeated Paul Aemp over the Paramatta course for the world’s champlion- ship. The following December Searle rowed in a regatta at Brisbane, where purses of £500, £ and £100 were put up and Kemp. Beach, Neil- son, Stansbury, Nell Matterson, McLear and others were among tbe entries. Searle secured the first prize, Kemp second and Matterson third. John Teemer, the American sculler, was afterward matched to row him, but forfeited £100 to the Australian. This fall he went to England and defeated William O’Connor, the American champion, for the world’s championship over the Thames course. This was Searle’s last race. After his return to his native land he was stricken with typhoid feverand never recovered. Stans- bury challenged him to a race for the world’s net soca aR afew days ago under the impression that the champion was recov- ering. He wanted to row Searle for £200 a side and the championship, the race to take lace in three months on the Paramatta, earle’s death is not likely to cost Australia the world’s championship, as they have sev- eral scullers there capable of holding it against all comers from other countries. Stansbury is likely to be the next champion. He will not be 22 years of age until next Feb- ruary, stande 8 feetll inches and weighs 170 pounds. Heisa most powerful man, and as stated above, gave the late champion the hardest race of his life. Death of Harvey McKenna. Harvey McKenna, the Western billiard ex- pert who died last week at the New York Hos- pital, was one of the most brilliant players who ever handled a ue. His great forte was straight rail play and at this he held the record on a run. McKenna was only 27 years of age. He and Wallace are two most prom- ising players, who were cut down at the very outset of their careers. Had Wallace lived he would probably be in the Schaefer and Slos- son class. Clifton Meetin F.

SUED FOR LIBEL, Stuart ©. MecKechnie Reaches For an Elmira Sunday Paper. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. CANANDAIGUA, N. T., Dec. 10.—Stuart O. MecKechnie, a wellknown bookseller of this village has retained Secretary of State elect Frank Rice to bring an action against the Tel- egram Co. of Elmira for $50,000 damages. The action is based upon the publication in the Sunday Telegram yesterday of an article taken from the Chleago Chaf,a society paper, in which it is alleged that Mr. McKechnie jilted Miss Maud Hugues, daughter of the late F. D. Hughes of Grand Rapids, Mich., who was one of the leaders of the Michigan bar. Miss Hughes, whoisa bandsome brunette, and a favorite in society, spent several months last winter in this village with the family of Wim. L. Foster. She attracted many admirers and among them was 8. O. McKecbnie, a nephew of James McKechnie, the millionaire brewer, who left him a snug fortune. After Miss Hughes returned to Grand Rapids last spring it was rumored that she was engaged to be married to Mr. MeKechnie, and when her Grand Rapids friends congratulated her she neither aflirmed nor denied that an 1. ment existed. At that time, it seems, she was engaged to another gentleman, who wag son- nected with a wholesale house in Rochester, and the arrangements she was making for the approaching marriage with him were taken as evidence of the truth of her reported engage- ment with McKechnie. : For some reason the marriage with the Rochester gentleman was postponed and sub- sequently reports were circulated that her preparationt were made witha view to her marriage With McKechnie, and that the reason the wedding did not occur was that be had jilted her. Miss Hughes is now making another visit to Canandaigua, and her pres- ence has served to set many togues wagging, and all sorts of stories concerning her rela- tions with Mr. McKechnie were put in circula- tion. The gentieman’s name is given in the Chicago Journal as Sturat McKitney, but the Elmira Telegram in copying the article makes the commentary that the gentleman meant is Stuart J. McKechnie. r. Mckechnie de- clines to say anything except that he will ex- onerate himseiffully when the proper time comes. Miss Hughes deniesthe story and completely exonerates Mr. McKechnie.

Dax RURT, Conn., Dec. 10.— Allen McDonald, aged 82 years, a wealthy retired blacksmith, and Miss Addie D. Bowen, aged 25, a New York book agent, were married bere last week The story of the marriage is a curious one. Mr. McDonald is childless and his first wife died on November 7, 1888. Except a wealthy sister in Mississippi he has no one to inherit his property, which is estimated to be worth $250, A year from the day his wife died he announced that he would give haif his fortune to any woman who would marry him. He in- sisted that the woman should be FOUR Peay and aspinster. A few days later Miss Bowen called at his house to sell him a book. He re- fused to talk about the book, but asked her if she would marry him. Miss Bowen thought he was crazy, but find- ing that he was in earnest asked time to con- sider. He obtained the address of her parents in New York and visited them. He explained that he was — d wealthy and wanted some one to inherit his property, adding that he had eg, few ye more to live. Miss Bowen's parents thought the proposal a good one for thelr daughter and gave their consent. The couple are now iiving in McDonald’s fine house on West street. 5,000 fine brass drums free with Suite and Overcoats to-morrow. | GLOBE, 706 to 718 Franklin av The Valentine Ketate.

N 10,— With one of her stout life- boats smashed to atoms, her decke swept clear of every- thing movable and her two cream- coated with salt = from the ocean * Drine, the North German Lloyd steamer Ems dropped ber anchor off the Quarantine Station at 6:30 o’ciock last evening. Lying in their berths with broken limbs were two of the saloon pas- sengers, who had been swept along the decks by the waves, which at times almost buried the vessel, The other passengers were some what bruised, though not seriously hurt. Ali were glad when the calm waters of the upper bay were reached and the perils of the voyage over. Those injured were: Mr. Leopold Futside, saloon passenger, arm broken. Mr. B. Walters, saloon passenger, leg fract- ured. On the bridge was ruddy-faced Capt. Jungst, who was giving final instructions before turn- ing the vessel over to his chief officer and seeking much needed rest. He looked as fresh and cool as though he had net been up for nearly three days ata stretch, taking a mouthful of food when opportunity offered. On the way to his cabin he glanced at the smashed lifepoat, which was a mute reminder of the storms which beset the Ems almost from the time of leaving Southampton. A GALE TO START WITH. There was a gale brewing when the Ems left the straits on December 2 and shoved her nose into the Atlantic. On the 3d it increased in strength, the wind coming from all points ot the compass. The storm was little short of a hurricane on the 4th. Extra caution had been taken during the night and a sharp look- out kept. Capt. Jungst remained on the bridge, though the waves at times flew clear over him. Then two waves would seem to meet near the bow, and, sweeping over the turtie back forward, would come down on the deck with aforce that made the vessel trem- in the afternoon of the 4th the Ems was al- most buried, and her docks were flooded fore and att. The sailors had hard work to per- form their duties and avoid being swept over- board, and by Capt. Jungst’s orders ali the doors leading below were closed and double fastened. The hatches were firmly battened. To serve meals was well nigh impossible and sleep was out of the question. The passengers were reassured by the officers, who told them to be of good cheer, as the Ems was steadily steaming toward New York in spite of the howling tempest outside. Messrs. Futside and Waiters, during the 4th, were on deck, though they are sorry now that they did not remain below with the other passengers. A big wave raking the length of the steamship caught them unawares, and carrying them some distance threw them against the deck fixtures. They had to be carried below. Mr. Futside had his arm broken and was badly bruised, and Mr. Walters’ right leg was fractured. The ship’s surgeon attended the Injured men and neither of them left their berths for the rest of the voyage. It was this wave which smashed the star- board lifeboat forward and it was almost a miracle that two injured men were not killed Outright Or carried overboard. After this Capt. Jungst gave orders that all of the pas- sengers should remain below, and this order was carried out. CHILDREN OF THE STORM. During the height of the storm two little strangers were ushered into the world in the stecrage. Both infante were alive when the vessel reached Quarantine last night and the mothers were as well as could 8 For sixty-two hours, dating from December 4, the storm raged, the Ems’ engines going at half speed and every ons of her officers on the alert. But the vessel kept on her course. Capt. Jungst seemed indefatigabie. He re- mained on the bridge during nearly the whole of the storm. The wind finally shifted to the northwest, and then the Ems was obliged to steam almost into the wind’s eye.“ From that time on until the gale began to abate on the eve of the öth the vessel was swept by monster waves. Aside from the damage to her life-boat, which was torn from the davits, the vessel did not suffer materially. As far as could be learned the loss of one or two deck fixtures was the j gousine ny et d sustained. Nor was it thought that either Fut- side or Walters are hurt internally, though they will not forget this trip.
