Gered Where a Key Had Never Been Turned— Those Who Have Compiained at the Office Give Their Experience While Seeking Satisfaction, Within twenty days the city’s contract with the gas companies willexpire and an agree- ment which is worth $365,008 a year will be Wiped off the books, but if the experience of a Humber of people who have been questioned is general the companies will lose nothing. ir office of Gaylord, Blessing & Co. During the last three months the companies have been making hay while the gas burned and private billes have been forced up far be- yond a reasonable figure. Although there has been no increase in the amount of gas con- sumed in many places the bills have gone up as much as 500 per cent and there is no reason for it other than thatthe gas companies propose to make up out of their private customers what they lose from the city. Scarcely one person was found who had not suffered from the un- reasonable advance in bills, but there was a general complaint that the companies were outfor a grab and every gas user was suffer- Ag. But itis not only in the amount of the bills that the gas companies are making up for the losses they will so shortly sustain. The quality of gas furnished since the bills ad- Vanced is worse thanfor a long time, and costs the gas company much less than that they furnished a few months ago. . This saving, in addition to the enormous, amounts collected from the consumer above what their bills ought tobe will more tnan make up forthe loss ofthe city’s contracts. The attack has been made principally on the November account. Everywhere the com- laint is heard that the November ii is much larger than it ought to be and that there is no ‘reason forit. People testify that they have used no more gas than in previous months, but that their bills have jumped from ordinary and reasonable amounts to amounts that will absolutely force them to stop useing gas unless there is a return to the ald charges. They are not inclined to give the gas companies adonation Decause of the losses on the city contractsand the kicking arouna the gas office has been something re- markabie. Kut the kicks have done no good. The usual suave reply is that the meter shows how much gas was consumed. It is impossible to vet any satisfaction from them or a reduction in the amount of the bill. The exvianation of the whole thing is that the companies are making up for the contracts with big bills and bad gas. A number of people were seen this morning and asked if there had been an unusual in- crease in their bill. Scratch a gas- user and you would find akicker. Every one com- plained and every one inquired the reason. QNLY 500 PER CENT. One user, who lives in the Western part of the city, said: Ine way the gas company has treated mé is simply outrageous. There are a good many gas jets in my house, but there is a lamp in nearly roam, and not a member family ever ads by anything lamp ligt so very little gas is used. My bill used to run from $2 to $8, but in September it went up $4, in October $4 more and in November $2 more, so it has gone from §2 to $12, a clean 500 per cent. There is no reason or justifica- tion for it, but I don’t want to say any more about those men, because l might use strong language.’’ Another gentieman said: ‘‘I know alittle about the gas business and I want to say that any one who has access to the gas company’s books can prove that they are collecting money to which they are not entitied. Take the amount of gas on hand on the ist of the month andthe amount manufactured during the month, and then take from the accounts the amounts charged against the consumers, and you will fing that according to those books the amount consumed is greater than the amount on hand and the amount made during the month. What does this mean?\Simply that the gas company supplies some gas, some air and charges for more of both than it gives the consumers.’’ THIS ONE DOUBLED. W. W. Nall was asked if his bill had gone up very suddenly. Well, Ishould say it had, Was his reply. It has more than doubied, although I did not use any more gas laat month than the month bo- fore or in November of last year. My suspicion was first aroused when my wife told me that three different men had been there to look at the meter. I went to the gas office and com- plained, but it did no good. They sald it was impossible that more than one man could have taken the meter because there was only one man in that district. That was all I could get out of them | and I had notbing to do but pay the bill. I would bave ordered the gas turned off, I was % mad, but I would have had to buy alot of lamps and oil.’’ Postmaster William oe said: ‘‘My bill has increased considerably. I don’t remem- Der how much greater it is now than it was, but the increase is a very large per cent. ol. D. P. Dyer: I noticed an increase in my bill, but I thought it was due to the com- ing on of winter and the dark evenings. I don’t know how muchit is, forl have not compared them, but there is an increase this month. Dol. Griff Prather’s bill, which is usually from $6 to $7, was $18 for November, and there has been no unusual amount of gas used. At Spilker’s confectionery it was found that the gas bill for the month of November had sed much complaint. Mr. Spiliker’s gas bill for November was $17.25 and for the cor- nding month in 1888 it was only $13.06. October, 1889, the bill was $12.45, and for Oatober, 1888, the bill was $12.60 number complaints had been heard in the store 1 regarding their gas bills for mber.

Abeles, President of the Mining Ex- change, bad a bill showing that he had usea 60 per cent more gas than during the month before. He estimated that he had used 10 per cent more, but could not see how ne bad nearly doubled up. He had also beard a great many others speaking of their bills, and in every instance they showed remarkable in- creases. Joe J. Mullally had an inerese oi 30 per cent at his residence add almost 100 per cent at his office. Justhow this was bronght about he could n t understand, and he was not con- vineed thatthe gas had been actually con- sumed. Ed Rawlings thought it was just about as near robbery as they could get. His bill at his residence on Dickson street had just about doubled, thoug the use of gas bad been about the same as the month before, or certainly not enough more tomake any ap- preciabie difference. Mr. E. D. Flora of 606 Olive street, asked about his gas bill, said: gas bill for November was $2.40 larger than it has been in twenty months, althouch it may bave deen caused from the fact that my cigar sian, for the light- ing of which I use gas, has been fed by a large pipe since November 1. The company offered to inspect my meter, but I told them there was no necessity for that and we would waita month and then see how it turned out. „For the month of November, 1888, my gas bill was $9.15; for November, 1887, $9.90, aud for November of this year it was $12.45. In October wy bill was $9.89. In June my Dill was $6.15; July, $5.40; August, $5.85; Septem- ber, $7.05. I have no complaint against the gas company, as I think the increase may have been caused by the month being a dark one.’’ Mr. C. P. Stanley of 614 Olive street said his bill for last month was $17.40. **That’s more than I paid when gas was $2.50 a thousand, and the biggest bill for gas I ever had in the store. For the month of Oetober I paid $15.60 for gas, and for Noyember, 1888, I paid $3.70. I cannot account in any way for the increase in my bill for November. L. M. Chipley said: ‘*My gas bill for the month of November was the biggest I have had since I have lived in the house where I now reside. I don’t remember exactly the amount, but nearly double that of the of October. I cannot assign reason for this. They just slapped the bill on me. Ihave heard a number speaking about the large increase in their gas bills for the month of November, and in fact everybody is kicking about it.’’ Frank M. Estes was reluctant to say any- thing about his gas bill, because he said he had been fighting the gas company for years. „„My bill is so smalithatit is hardly worth while to say anything about it. My Dili for last month was $38.15, and for the month of October it was only $1.70. Iam sure that I did not burn so much more gas in November than in October, but as my bill is a small one I did not think much about it.“ Mr. George W. Davis, Secretary of the St. Louis Building Association, said he did not pay any gas bills, as he boarded. : I board at Mrs. Palmer’s, at 2606 Locust street. I have heard Mrs. Palmer saying that she was afraid she must stop keeping board- ers or do something to keep her gas bill down. She said her bill was usually about $7a month, but for November it was $12. I have also heard a number of people talking about how much larger their bilis‘were forthe month of November than before. A well-known Olive street firm of cigar im- porters, who requested that the name of the firm be not published, said their gas bill for November was something unusually large and they were unable to account for it. % For November, said one of the members ofthe firm, ‘‘our bill was $21.45. For October it was $14.70. For November, 1888, our gas bill was $14.10 and for October, 1888, it was $12.75. Weare unable to account in any way for the big Increase in the amount of the biil.’’ CANDLES USED AT THE COURT-HOUSE. For more than a month there has been a constant complaint at the Court-house about the gas which at times furnished such poor light that asupply of chandles was bought by Mr. Zepp. It has been a common sight in the court-room of late, while the courts were in session, to eee three lighted candles stuck on the desks of the clerks andthe gas burning full pressure in the chandeliers. In every office in the buiild- ing complaints have been made for more than a month, and in some offices the gas has not been burned at all, lamps belag brought into use. This state of affairs has existed every winter and last winter Mr. rr tound it necessary to tap the main pipe at the gee meter in the basement and supply the fire alarm de ment with light dependent trom the rest of the buliding. when * ‘My orinthe kitchen. We burned as little gas in other parts of the house as we could merely as a test, and I thought our bill would be about $1.50, and certainly not more than $2. Imagine our surprise on being presented with a billthis month for $5.10. I don’t believe they inspect the meter at all, but figure it out in the ofiice that an eight-room house must bringin so much in July and so much in December. We are burning all the gas we can now, satisfied it will bave no effect on our bill, Clareace L. Hoblitzelle, Deputy Oircuit Clerk, 35 Benton place: How is that for a gas billforasmall house? This month it is $9. 75—over 50 per cent more than ever before. lam not going to pay it, but like a great many others, will protest it.’’ R. Fisher, Secretary Chouteau Avenue Ciub: The gas company presented me with a bill for the ciub last month for $28, which was simply outrageous. I went to the office, filed my protest, and afew days later received a bill for $17, a little over half of the orivinal charge. This month they present me with a bill for $20, which may be right, as it should be a little more in winter.“ THE WESTERN UNION Telegraph Co., which isalarge consumer of gas, received a bill which was anything but satisfactory, and it proposes to investigate it, as it requires some satisfaction as well as the gas to give value received onthe receipt for payment. 1 can’t understand it.“ said Mr. Bohle, local Manager of the company, when seen this morning. ‘‘Iam looking into the matter now, and do not care to say anything about it untill find out whatitis. It is so great that 1 cannot beginto give any reason for it now. We are very careful about burning gas when it is not needed, and the employes are all instructed to turn down their gas when it is notin use. Of course we havo had some dark days, but that can be givenin explanation as much as desired, and it will not begin toexplain the size of our bill. We always have to burn more or less gas, and the dark day theory will not begin to account for the amount of gas used. Mr. Bohle was asked to give the bills of the company showing the increase, but*declined to do so until he had had an opportunity to investigate the matter. MR. WM. E. SCHWEPPE, living on West Pine street, nas a bill which is a gem. As he says, he has not become ac- quainted with the meter yet, but is endeavor- ing todoso. His house is a new one, and he has only occupied it long enough to get two gas bills. The second one was on his desk at his business office this morning when a Post- DISPATCH reporter called to see him. It was for $18.15. The first bill, for the preceding month, was $9. ‘*l always p*y gas and water bills. as I don't want the supply shut off,’’ said r. Schweppe, but Imust confess this rather gets away with me.. When the first bill came in my wife said we were burning too much gas and that we would have to look out for it. Well, we did. We only burned one jet, where before we had burned three, so it is hardly likely we got as much gas through it. But the meter says we did, and that settles it. I examined the meter. and found same as the bill. can’t always depend on a meter. were away one summer, and I burned a gas et very low allthe time, turning itup when went in the house at night, and leaving it low when Ileftin the morning. Then I went away for six weeks, and all that time that gas jet was burning away. The bill was for over two months, and was only $l. AN ENRAGED GAS CONSUMER Hie resides at No. 10 North Grand avenue, but declined to give his name. His interest was shown on the first question asked. „il tell you what, he said, I don’t pro- pose to pay my bill. It is increased just about 100 per cent, and the gas has been so poor that iIcouldn’t read by it. I put on new burners, took them off, experimented with them, and did everything eise, but finally had to give it up. Then when this bill came in l was disgusted. Icame down by the gas office this morning and told themI simply wouldn’t pay such an' increase for such gas. This is not the first experience I have had, either. Anotheroné was when my wife was away for two months. I was alone in the house, and burneda lamp when I was in the house. During the two months there was not a gas jet the house. But all the gas bill came in as usual, no less than it was when we were burning the gas all the time, and of course the gas people insisted on my paying it, while 1 knew there hadn’t been a foot of gas consumed in flame. In another Grand avenue case, in which the victim declined to allowthe use of his name, the bill increased from $10 to 5817, and on cal- culations made without the assistance of the meter a smaller amount of gas had been oon - sumed than during the $10 month. MR. H, BORGMANN’S EXPERIENCE. Mr. Heury Brogmann. of the Piatt & Thornburg Paint and Glass Co., at 623 Frank- Un avenue, said he called at the gas com- pany’s office a few days ago and made a kick against the last month’s gas iil. **For the four months of July, August, Sep- me a bill of $4.80. Icalled at the and made a very pronounced kick demanding are their bills. crowd It was found in conversation with Mr. Schweppe. | doing about the matter. ‘only Increased ita few dollars, I woul ber and October I paid only$@.80 for gas but or the mont hot November alone they sent 3 Elegant Newmarkets, applique trimmed, alle. 89.00 68 Finest Seal Plush Modjeskas, the finest satin lining and trimmed with Silk Plush Beaver, at...§18.00 — e Be. iu ~ * > by. e 360 SEAL PLUSH JACKETS, ele- gantly finished, as fine as any shown this season.......... -$11.75 NOTH—We could make a Jacket to sell for $3.00 out.of cotton velveteen, same as advertised by some stores as seal plush, but we don’t handle trash. Pa even more than twice as reat, So outrageous has been the ncrease that last Thursday morning a delega- tion of merchants doing business on Chouteau avenue, between Twenty-second street and Jefferson avenue, waited ina body on the St. Gas-Light Co., There uis to complain about were over a dozen in delegation, and they were only smali fraction of the kickers, as many of the others could not get away from their stores at the time to go. Several of these, however, sent down their bills by some of the men who did go. The was gathered together by 8. Lederer, a dry merehant doing business at No, Chouteau avenue, His bill for October was $9 75 and the bill sent him for November was $21.30, more than double as much. His bills for Oc- tober and November last year were $9.40 each. This raise was TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO BWALLOW as legitimate and he made a canvass of the street for a couple of blocks to learn how his neighbors had fared. He found that, like himself, almost every man received a bull with an outrageous increase. was then decided that they should go down in a body and make their complaint to the gas company. At the gas company’s office they took their bills and said they would inquire into the matter. A few days later a man was sent around to investigate the meters and re- ported that the bills were correct. The officials of the company expiained to the indignant merchants that a new main had been put in up there, and that the pressure was stronger, and the amount of gas burned 5 79 in consequence, As the merchants id not discover any improvement in their lights they are loth to accept this explanation. hursday afternoon after thé protesting party had returned, Henry G. Schaefer, son of Chris Schaefer, druggist at the southeast corner of Jefferson and Chouteau av ennes, went down with four more protested bills. They were his father’s bills, and those which had been sent to Joseph Sehwend, roses at 2312 Ohouteau avenue; William enkler, jeweler at No. 2287 Chouteau avenue, and Herman, butcher at 2304 Chouteau avenue. All their bills were about double what they were for the month of October this year or the month of November last year. The as light company people ok the ills and promised to examine into thé com- plaint. ithough the bilis should be paid to- day none of the people in the neighborhood have yet heard what the company intends Many of them de- clare they will never pay the amounts calied for in the bills and say they WILL USE COAL OIL RATHER THAN DO IT. **I have my coal oll lamps all ready to put in,“ remarked Mr. 8. Lederer to-day discuss. ing the matter. My bills for October and November, thetwo heaviest months in the year, have always heretofore been between $7 and $10 each month, but this month the raise it on me to $21.30.

For November; 1887, his bill was $6.45, for November of last peer $7.95 and for last month $9.45. He says 16 could not possibly have burned more than $1 worth of gas last month over what he burned in October. F. Lederer of 2215 Chouteau avenue fared as badly as his namesake in the next block. His. as bill has never been over $3.75 a month, ut for last month it was $11, a threefold in- crease without any visible cause. T. Strauss, confectioner at Jefferson and Ohouteau avenues, got a bill of $6.30 for No- vember, aguinst $4.20 for October, C. A. Kleihehaus, confectioner at 2316 Chou- teau avenue, received a bill of $1.60 for Ooto- ber and $2.55 for last month. The bill of Joseph Schwend, the grocer of No. 2312 Chouteau avenue, was $6.15 last month and only $3.75 for October. Mrs. P. W. Meyer, iding on Missour! avenue, south of Chnoute avenue, has had gas bills of only 75 cents for three months, but last month her bill was $2.40. Charies Behrens, who keeps a dry goods store at No. 2318 Chouteau avenue, received a bill of $6.15 for three months, which is an in- crease of $1.50 over what he formerly paid. T.

William Dierking, a saloon-keeper at 2811 Chouteau avenue, received a gas bill of $4 for October and $6 for November. At Feager’s drug store the gas bill for No- vember amounted to $8.25. For November, 1888, the bill was $4.50, and for October, 1889, the bill was only $5.90. The clerks in the store admit that they used more gas this month than last, but they say they did not use twice as much as in October. At Central Turner Hall a large amount of gas is consumed nightly and the monthly ills are comparatively large. The bill for the month of November was about $20 larger than for October and was much larger than for November of 1888, : These are only a few of the complaints. O, W.

SPECIAL ontheentire system of elevated roads were prepared to go out on the signal. At the wish of the managers of the roadsthe strike was deferred till next day, when a conference took place and the difficulty was adjusted. Concessions were made on both sides, but the engineers had the best of the agreement, get- ting full pay for their work and saving half an houra day. Mr. Arthur is an old surface engineer and used to handle the throttle on the Grand Trunk road many years ago. His first experience as a lador arbitrator was while he worked upon that road, and he has so high an opinion ef arbi- tration, and so poor an idea of strikes, that he will never willingly give his consent to the latter save asa last resort. Arthur is a natural leader of men. Cool, conservative and clear- headed, he is the most respected man among the 25,000 members of the brotherhood of which he is president. He lives in a hand- some residence at Cleveland, O., which he owns. He has grown old in the labor cause, snd has no higher ambition than to help his fellows in their struggles as long as he lives. ANOTHER NOTABLE FIGURE is that of Mr. A. Strasser, the President of the Cigar-Makers’ Union, which numbers 2, members. Like Mr. Arthur, Mr. Strasser is strictly conservative In his methods, and has endeavored to carry out this principle, as far as possible, in dealing with the 260 local assemblies that eall him chief. But the cigar- makers are avery different class from the engineers. Principally foreigners, and & large proportion of them very an uneducated, it is not surprising that their differences with employers should frequently result in bitter el- ing and the preelpitation of strikes that might, under calmer auspices, have been averted. Still, with all this untrained muterial to embarrass him, President Strasser has been singulariy fortunate in bringing up the union to a high standard of success, nu- merically and financially. He is devoted to the work, and has the very fullest confidence of his associates. He is about 45 years of and has held the executive office for severa years, during which he bas piloted the organ- ization through a half-dozen serious strikes with rare generalship and good fortune. O. O. Evans is the controlling spirit in the National Federation of Miners and. Miners’ Laborers, an organization with a membership of 85,000 men. This is distinct from the three amalgamated associations of miners in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, which have 27,000 members alone. Mr. Evans is of Welsh descent, as are thousands of others in the mines, South and West. His presidency began about three 4 — ago, and he has since that time pushed the Miners’ National Association to the very front of thelabor organizations of the country, onlv one otner union—the Broth hood of Carpenters and Joiners—exceeding in point of actual membership.

It is a ge affair and will undoubtedly result in a uterary sensation of the first magnitude. 1 38 2 * —, * PERSONAL PULITIOS. In his letter to State Senator McGraTH, published in yesterday’s Posr-Disraren, Senator VEsT called attention to two im- portant points which it would be well for the Democracy of Missouri to heed. The first. point is that the Republicans are sO encouraged by the poor show- ing made by the Francis ticket at the polls that they confidently count on carrying Missouri at the next national election. The second point is that the Democratic margin of success is 80 small that the party cannot afford to sacrifice its chances in favor of the personal ambition of any man. 3 There is no question that. the Republi- cans feel greatly encouraged, as Senator Vest puts it, by the result of the recent election and propose to make a desperate effort to capture Missouri. But it is also unfortunately true that instead of personal ambition being subordinated to the wel- fare of the party, the whole party is treated as the mere tool of the personal ambition of the candidate who last year led the Democracy of Missouri into the most disgraceful danger it has ever had to face. This policy of personal ambition was sbown im the retention of the Coal Oil In- spectorship swindle andthe awarding of the spoils toa henchman who was so in- discreet as to immediately reveal the mo- tive of his patron. It was showninthe support given to JAY GOULD’s doorkeeper, BuRKS, in his raid on the grain interests of St. Louis. It was shown in the surrender to Kansas City of the right of St. Louis to entertain the Pan-American delegates. It was shownin the attempt to foist a boot-licking private Secretary on the State Committee as its Secretary.” It was shown in a catalogue of blunders too long for mention; a catalogue which includes nearly every official act of Mis- souri’s first Democratic minority Goy- ernor, and descends low enough to in- clude the surrender of the Police Com- missioners of St. Louis to the lottery thieves. 8 We say again, that if the Democracy of Missouri is to be organized on a basis of personal politics in the interest of per- sonal ambition, the Democrats may have very little interest in the next Senatorial election or in State affairs after 1892. — - ̃ — — THE SPRINKLING ORDINANCE. The last day on which the advertise- ment for bids on next year’s sprinkling contracts can be published according to law is the 28th of this month. Before that time the ordinance must pass through all of its proper successive stages in the Council and House; it must be approved by the Mayor, and the Street Commis- sioner must prepare the specifications for the work, which must be approved by the Board of Public Improvements and the Mayor. There is scarcely sufficient time remain- ing for the bill to pass through its formal stages in the most hasty manner in the Municipal Assembly, and the least delay will make more than one special session necessary. A large amount of new terri- tory to be sprinkled should be provided for, the clerical work is great and this im- portant measure must suffer by hasty treatment. The Street Commissioner will be rushed in making out specifications for contracts. Altogether the delay in the bill is exceedingly unfortunate and is dis- creditable to the Municipal Assembly. There is no excuse for the present situ- ation, because it is a repetition of a simi- lar situation last year. The ordinance was neglected then until the last moment and had to be hurried through. Of course, a sprinkling ordinance will be passed in some form. The benefits of municipal street sprinkling are too great for the Municipal Assembly to assume the blame of losing them. But the ordi- nance should be passedin the best form and hereafter the sprinkling bill should be placed in a position on the fall calen- dar early enough to secure for it careful consideration and thorough preparation. ———— — Tux deal for the purchase of the St. Louis elevators by an English syndicate is said to have failed, because of the heavy losses of the elevators through grain spec- ulation before their consolidation. There is a valuable lesson in this fact for out- siders tempted to speculatein grain. The elevators control the bulk of the grain in the market, and if they cannot make money by speculating in if what hope is there for an outsider who can wield no influence on the market? n . nnn... i _ = SENATOR VEST declares that the Goy- ernor told him that he was not a candi- date for the United States Senate. But the State Democratic Committee seemed to be pervaded by an impression that there isa “nigger inthe wood-pile,’’ and there are strange whisperings among Democratic politicians.. It is significant also that the Governor hesitates and care- ing questions concerning the Senatorship. a — — Tun leading item of local business news n the morning papers is the failure of the e ‘ Nen which appeared in the Pot PE raren yesterday.

Tun persons who seem to be suffering more than the trusts at present are the owners of and speculators in trust certifi- cates. The greed of the men who attempt to make colossal fortunes by the mere act of watering the stock of monopolistic combinations is defeating itself. But meanwhile they are gouging the people and Congress should make such attempts impoesible by wise tariff revision. — —— — SENATOR VEST quotes Gov. FRANCIS as remarking that he only desired to ‘sserve out his term as Governor in a ‘‘oreditable manner.” If the Governor will stick to this aim and will get the spirit of it to permeate through the other State officials the danger of a Re- publican victory in Missouri will be greatly reduced. — —ũö4—4Idͤ — fe .— eos Where Protection Becomes Oppression, From the Philadelphia Times. With our manufacturers put upon equality with their competitors abroad on the question of wages, every dollar of additional tax im- posed is simply inexcusable oppression of the people. Iowa and Massachusetts want cheap- ened American products without reducing wages of labor; they want free raw materials; they want free coal, free wool, free iron ore and free scrap iron to enable the New England industries to live, and the farmers of Iowa, with their crushing tariff taxes on everything they use, eat and wear, and growing mortgages on their farms, want cheapened clothing, implements and household effects. And they not only want them, but they must have them; andthe recent elections, simply emphasize the purpose of both East and West to have honest and thorough tariff revision and reduced taxes or revolution. Itis only history répeating Itself,and whether it shall be a brief rebellion or a sweeping revolution, will depend upon me leaders of the party in power, What They Are Here For. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. When one of the leading South American delegates to the international conference writes toa member of his home government that he finds they are not invited to confer with the representatives of the United States but of the Republican party, he ts close with- in the truth. It Ils well known that the Presi- dent took pains to appoint no Democrat favor - able to that party’s policy in regard to the tariff and subsidies, and that thus the United States delegation was packed in the interests of the Republican view. This delegate goes On to say in his private letter: ‘*The high-tariff flag le waved over the In- ternational Congress. The delegates talk to us about steamships, and think to make us lose the water out of our mouths (Spanish for ‘give ourselves away’) in that way. The free list they suggest does not contain a singie thing we export. It seems that they take us for geese, and very stupid geese at that. Stanley Was a St. Louisan. From the Baltimore American. One night years ago a quiet young man in St. Louis,who was drawing a moderate salary from a newspaper, was being twitted on his indifference by his fellow reporters. ‘‘Never mind,“ he answered, ‘‘I shall be famous yet. He realized bis own prediction. He has white hairnow. His mustache 1s gray, his face is stern, Yesterday he reached civilization, after years of some of the most remarkable adventures thatever man passed through. He is the hero of Africa, the greatest contrib- utor to geographical knowledge of this century, and his name is Henry M. Stanley. — — A Quorum of Millionaires. From the Cineinnati Commercial. Mr. Brice of New York, the Bading candil- date of the Democracy for the Senate of the United States, is supposed to bean ‘‘inhab- itant’’ in his private car. Where a million- aire’s private car is, there he is eligible for the Senate. There area few more millionaires wanted in the Senate. There is not quite a quorum! When there is a quorum of million- alres in the Senate, and the Senate organizes the House and bullies the President, we shall of course have a free country. It will bea big thing, too. Down Goes the Surplus. From the Boston Herald. How the pension fund rolls up!

REMARKABLE ‘thing happened in the SUNDAY PO8T -Disraroeu World's Fair Guessing Contest to-day. The first guesses from Chicago arrived. This was not very fj remarkable, de- cause guesses are coming in from all parts of the United States. The striking feat- ure of both these. guesses was that St. Louls was named as the coming city, and was given a handsome vote both in the Senate and the House of Representatives. It has been generally stated that everybody in Chivago was sure the World's Fair was going there. This probably is true so far as the Uhicago man’s talk and bluster go. But when he is out after a prize of $50 or more his enthusi- asm is controlled by bis judgment, and he leaves his city out of the race for a very evident reason. The addresses of these Chicago guessers cannot be printed here. In fact, one of them requests. that his name be kept a secret, as he says the publication would cause bim to be hounded by the Chi- cago press and his associates would probably run him out of town. GUESSES BY HUNDREDS. The morning malls brought in large addi- tions to the guesses previously received. They came in heaps, and they came from all direc- tions. Guesses, of course, are more numer- ous in the immediate vicinity of St. Louis at this early stage ot the contest. In Missouri, there were doz- ens of letters to-day from Sedalia, Jefferson City, Carthage, Mexico, Marshall, Ironton, Hillsboro, Kansas City and other places, and in Illinois the guessers are busy in Collinsville, Edwardsville, Bloomington, Peoria, Belleville, Springfleld, Bast St. Louis and numerous othertowns. But the contest hus widened remarkably. Guesses were re- ceived to-day from Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Indilanapolls, Louisville, Ky., and other places. The queer story of the Chicago guesses is told above. : SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED. A guesser, who sans himeéif C. R., writes to the Post-DISPATCH to know when the four prizes of the World’s Fair Guessing Contest will be distributed. That question can be an- swered inthis way: The prizes will be given — as soon as the send vote on the sub- ect is taken in Congress, It Is impossibie now to state exactly when that time will be. When the bill locating the World’s Fair comes ap for final r in both houses of Con- gress, the vote which the successful city gets willdecide the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATOH con- test. As soon as these figures are known, the prizes will be at the call of the suvcessful guessers. Another correspondent wants to know what the No. at the top of the guessing blank means and whether that space should be filled. Thie is the space left for numbering the blanks in the order they reach this office. Itshould not be filled by the guesser. Contestants for the prigeand those who wishtoenter the contest should remember that all questions they may wish toask will be answered in thiscolumn. If you have not seen previous articies, giving the conditions ofthe contest, and if you want to know anythin coneerning it, ask your question and it will be answered at ono. The announcement of the prizes printed below will show whateach contestant is ex- pected to do. The biank upon which the guess must be sent in was first printed in the last SUNDAY PoOsT- DISPATCH. It will appear in the SUNDAY POSsT- N until the contest is closed, It will not be printed in the daily Post-D1s- PATCH. If vou want blankes you can get them in any number by procuring copies of the SUNDAY PostT- DISPATCH. In addition the next SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH will contain the rules in full and a report of the guesses received up to date.

A collision occurred at an early hour yester- duy morning on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road at Ellsbury, Mo., a station about sixty miles from the city. The through pas- sénger was just moving out of the station when a freight came down upon It from behind and = tele- ecoped the rear sleeper. The passengers were allvadly shaken up, but none were injured with the exception of A. M. Herbery 2631 South Broadway, and a lady whose name was hot learned. Mr. Herbery was badly cut about the head and hands by the broken glass of the lampe. The cowosteher of the freight engine fortunately caught in the tles andthe greater part of the shock went into the earth. The sleeper was damaged tothe extent of about $1,000. The cause ofthe aceident is a matter of conjecture. Somebody blundered. The passenger had a red light out benind and the flagman at the station says that he signalled the freight to stop, but either his warning was not seen or no attention paid to it, The Inspection War in Kausag City.

At8 o’clock yesterday afternoon two men etnered Miller & Stephenson’s store at St. Charles street and Broadway. One, after a few words with the other, who was much older, went upstairs.

The fact that the company will not be ready toundertake its contract at the time fixed was brought out inthe Council meeting last night when Councilman Sloan introduced pany, ninety days further time, or from Jan- wary 1 to April 1, in which to complete the necessary plant of machinery and commence to execute the provisions of the contract. That. nothing else shall be changed is fixed by the following provision: Sec. 2. Nothing in this ordinance shall be taken or construed into altering, changing, modifying or im any way abrogating sald contracts. or either of nem, or the ordinances affecting the same, except so far as to extend tle time for the completion of the work and the commencement of the lighting. THERE IS SOMETHING SURPRISING aboutthis announcement just at this time. It is of Course known that Mr. Sutter and his associates have had a great dealt of trouble, and have been delayed more or less by their financial arrangements, but itis less than a month ago since it was stated on authority that the work could not be progressing more smoothly than i¢ was then, and that the plant would be completed and in operation, so that it might befully tested ten days or two weeks befors the time for beginning the services under the city contract. There was no doubt whatever but that the company would be able to do this; The statement was made as an absolute certainty, so near an ac- complished fact that it might almost have been said the company was then practically ready to turn on the current. It is thus dif- cult to see what explanation can. be made of what has occurfed in the meantime to make it necessary that an extension of ninety days should be allowed, in granting which the city will have to continue in the use of gas through the winter months, the season of all others when a bright light is desired. A SIMPLE 8 “HEME. The ordiuance is merely an attempt to slide from under tbe obligation to pay $600 a day for non-fulfiliment of the contract. This ob- ligation was entered into in good faith on the part ofthe city and the Electrie LightCo., It will be necessary for the city to make terms for gas lighting for three months, if the ordinance passes, at a price as high as this year’s, if not higher. rom the estimates it wili be seen that the difference in cost will be an ordinance granting to Charles Sutter, who | for streets and alleys $136,596 a year, or “transferred his contract to the Municipal Com- $34,149 for three months. which amount the practically ~~. would lose by the delay. his estimate is based on- tirely upon the cost of the gas lighting of the fiscal year of 1888.9, and is almost exact, and the cost of the electric lighting is very care- fully estimated upon the number of “iectric lights it will take to replace the gas and gasgo- line and deductions made therefrom on the contract prices. InWny event it would cost the city weil up in the neighborhood of $30,000 additional to make the Municipal Electric Light Co. a prasent of the fines itshould pay. On the other hand, it is absolutely certain that the lighting cannot be done at specified in the contracts. That is éntirely out of the question. The power-house- is not ready, the poles are not ail up, no wires are strung, the dynamos not ready, the boilers thousand details yet to be attended to. Commissioner Bur- net, when asked what he thought could be done about the matter said: lam sure Idon’t know. You can’t squeeze biood from a turnip, and I don’t thing that the com- pany could pay the fines if they were im- posed. I would hesitate to suggest anything without giving the matter a good deal of thought. President Flad of the Board of Public Im- provenfents, sat down on the whole scheme, very hard, and s@ys very piainly that no such thing should be done, and he questions the right of the Assembly to relieve the company temporarily from the terms of its contract. What fate the measure will meet with in the Municipal Assembly is still a 1 but things of that kind have slipped or uirmed through before this, so it is bard to te 1. what Will become of It, It will come up again at the Council meeting bn Friday.

BROADWAY AND LOCUST. A GREAT CORN CROP AND A STILL GREATER FUROPEAN DEMAND FOR THE AMERICAN CEREAL. A Number of Surprises for the Receivers and Shippers of Corn—A Crop That Has Seldom Been Equaled, and a Remark- abie Foreign Demand—The Burks Ex- perts and the Farmers. F ROM all parts of the country corn con- tinues to pour into this eity in a manner entirely unprece- = dented, and the re- ceipts are far larger than the most san- guine had ventured to predict. The corn e crop of the year has been replete with surprises. In the first place, large quantities of this cereal graded No. 2 much earlier than usual, showing a crop of en- ceptionally fine quality. THE ONLY EXCEPTION to this general rule was in cases in which Burks and his political experts were able to lay their hands on the grain and manifest their hostility to St. Louis by grading it down. TI said to have in a measure ceased,owh the indignation excited among on by the loss to whieh they a, their dissatisfaction being expressed by sending their crops to the east side of the river, the Farmers’ Alilance taking the lead. The next cause for surprise was the unexpected amount of thecrop. As chronicied at the time in the columns of the Post-DISPATCH, there was such a demand for cars to carry the corn to market during the last two weeks of November thut a freicht-car famine was threatened, and several lines had to refuse all through shipments and forbid their rolling stock leaving the road. This move relieved the pressure, and it was belleved that the farmers, anticipating an attempt to run a corner in this market, had hurried ali their crop to the railroads and had little remaining in hand. ‘ AN IMMENSE CROP. The developments of the last few days have proved this view to be erroneous. That there was for a week. er two an effort on the part of the farmers to 2 their grain to market is undoubted, and this occasioned a slight fall- ing off In the receipts during the first few days of the present month. But soon the ship- ments set in again as heavy as ever, and it was made abundantly evident that the greater part of the corn crop remained to be moved. While there is not now an absolute freight-car famine, the rallroads have scarcely enough rolling stock to handle corn, and the shipments ae the largest ever known. St. Louis is getting the lion’s share of this increase and it has been feared thatthe unprecedented receipts wonld cause a blockade at this pointand that the supply would outstrip the demand. AMERICAN CORN FOR BUROPE. This danger has been obviated by the im- mense demands from the East, and especially from the other side of the Atlantic. The coro does not etop.here, but is sent through with as little delay as possible. transportation from the _ city even than that for cars to it, greater facilities were avail- out shipments would be even heavier than they are. The stage ofthe riverfor gome time past has prevented the barges from carrying much morethan two- fifths of a cargo, and the demand for baryes far €xceeds the supply. The majority of the corn thus shipped goes to Europe, where —— demand is far ‘greater than f wa last year, which In its turn exceeded that of any previous year. The canse of this isina measure the more general use of corn as food in Germany, France, England, Ireland and Belgium, but principally to the high price of the cheaper kinds of fodder, such as beans, peus and carrots, on the othey side of the Atlantic. The acreage devoted to raising this species of fodder for horses and cattle has been very much decreased, ft is velleved permanently, and this has led to a great demand for Ameri- can dora. Those who have given the matter careful attention believe that this demand willincrease year by year and that St. Louis will get the benefit of by far the greater portion of the resulting traffic, THE STOCK BROKERS. Heavy Freights Offering and a Shortage of Cars—High Freights in the West. Wall street gossip received by the Gaylora- Blessing private wire: From New York, 11 d. m.—The December Government report shows that the railways in Nebraska, Kansas and lowa are still charging much higher rates for moving grain than in Central and Western States. The people have access to these figures, and will not submit to such discrimination. This report clearly ape etantiates the charges made — the prey those States against the lways. 1s equally clear that the ra a fax transportation must be lower than ever of ore to correspond with the prevailing low prices of farm ucts. The average selling price of corn in Nebraska is e, in Kansas lde, in lowa lde, and the average for the séven sur jus produe- ing corn States, Ohio, Indiana, IIInois, Mis- souri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, is only 220. From New York—The 1% cent regular, and % per cent extra dividend 1 Western Union are payable January 16.

General Freight Agent of the Chicago, Bur- pages & Quincy says his road is short 600 cara to-day and there appears to be no limit to the freight offerings. From Chicago—There is to be an argument to-day in the old suit against the Gas Trust. There is some doubt about the status of the laintiffs. This suit is brought by executors. he owner of the old stock had exchanged it for the trust certificates before his death, but the executors toannul the exchange on the greund of fraud, etc. If they are not barred by the act of the deceased they can probably enjoin the payment of the dividend. From New York—The Denver & Rio Grande for the first week of December increased its eurnings $12,500. ‘ . * — From New York—Suear broke yesterday be- cause one of the outside refineries has con- cluded not to join the trust, and will double its capacity, and also because of stop orders, and trving to realize on the rise.

ST. LOUIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1889. ee * — — ; 2 £7 . — yk =» ~ 5 ae * 1 9 : A Story ‘Told by George Parsons Lathrop and F. Hopkin- son Smith. Eminent Authors Who May Dis- pute Over Charges of °s« Plagiarism. One of the Features of the December . Cen- tury” Apparently Cribbed From a Three- Months’ Old Book of Tales—‘‘Capt. Joe“ and “Capt. Billy’ Compared to the Damage of Somebody's Fame—Who the Authors Are and the Work They Have Done—Each of Them Very Well Known in the Field of Letters. . 8 APT. JOE’’ is the title of a very charming tale in the De- cember Century by F.Hopkin- son Smith. It bas all of that brightness, rapidity of inci- dent, breadth and finish es- sential to a perfect short story. Unfortunately for Mr. Smith, however, there is in it sufficient cause for a charge of plagiarism. Geo. Parsons Lathrop has printed @ story to which he gave the name ‘‘Capt. Billy’’ that is so like ‘‘Capt. Joe“ in the main inoidents that the only apparent escape from convic- tion under the charge mentioned for one of the authors is a sustained plea Qt the truth of the story. It matters not at all in the literary world how many times a true tale is told, but when ‘one author invents facts they beiong to him as much as the clothes they wear. Capt. Joe Bell is a master, pilot and diver, as is Capt. Billy Rust. The , * refers feelingly to his drowned partner, im, ' and the latter once had as partner im Ryerson.’’ TNE CAPT. JOB.INCIDENT. One day asthe wrecking boat Reliance, on which Capt. Joe was in command, wss crunching through the ice, a Hoboken ferry- boat crowded with passengers was run into by atug and a great hole caved in her side. Capt. Joe hadthe Reliance run downto the ferry, jumps on board the latter boat, runs down into the hold, calks the hole with mat- tresses, bedding, coats—anything that can be got, and, finding there is still a space to be filled, thrusts his own body into it. He puts his right arm outside the boat into the water, where the ice tears it terribly. He is taken out when the doat reaches its dock more Geadthan alive, and his torn right arm k him way from dutya long time. Oneday atthe office of the Off Shore Wrecking Co., in whose employ Capt. Joe is, he leans that hig com ny hes madea claim on the ferry company vage and is asked tosign an afiidayit as to the service he rendered. Heindignantily refuses and cursing the ot the Offshore Wreck- ing Co. says: Do you think I'd got into that hell hole if it hadn't been for them women cryin’ and the babies hoilerin’?’’ He leaves the employ of the Wrecking Oo. withthis, and his next appearance is as an applicant for work as a diver, in ansyer to an advertise - ment. THE CAPT. BILLY INCIDENT. Capt. Billy is piloting a Brooklyn ferry when a barge strikes her, staving in her hull. The Captain rushes into tune hold, tries to calk the great splintered hole, fails and thrusts his own body into the 1 ture with his right hand outside, where it is terribly torn by the ice. He is taken from his position, when the carpenter turns up with material to stop the leak, more dead than alive, but is revived and his armis given at- ' tention. The agent of the company cails him a2 hero and pro es to give him Capt. Billy grows indignant and refuses the money, — among other violent things: Do you think I cared anything for your rotten old boat? She might have sunx for ail me if it hadn’t been for the women and babies on board. Capt. Billy quits the ferry company and next appears in answer to an advertisement for a diver. THE CAPTAINS GET WORK. In Mr. Smith’s story he (the author) is the advertiser. He wants an experieneed diver to superintend the layingof the foundation of a light-house. In Mr. throp’s story the ad- vertiser isa Mr. Meadows, who wants an ex- perienced diver to supérvise some submerged masonry work. Mr. Smith is wonderfully etruck with Gapt. Joe and employs him in- stanter. Mr. Meadows recognizes Capt. Billy asthe noble pilot of the ferry, and as Miss Evelyn Meadows wasone ofthe passengers 8 Mr. Meadows is duly grateful and em- ploys Capt. Billy. Both captains are excellent workmen, with @ special abilityin saving wrecked barges, etc. Both are averse to talking of their own feats. REFERENCES TO LOG- BOOKS. When: long after Capt. Joe isasked about the ferryboat incident he consents to tell the story, but finds he has forgotten the facts, he refers tothe log-book of the Reliance, re- marking he ‘‘was always particular about keeping log aboard ship,“ and reads: Janu- ary 80-—Left Jersey Oity T a. m. Ice running heavy. Capt. Joe stopped leak in ferry- boat * Years afterward, also, Capt. Billy “refers to his old log-book, always nn written up, thangh not required re authority. 75 I me see, says Capt. Billy, turning the pases. Here itis! December 7. Left Brook- yn 12 m. Struck by barge. Went down below and stopped leak.’ ’’ There are points of dissimilarity in the sto- ries, but in the above is the meat of both. Mr. Smith tells very little else than is here given, while Mr. Lathrop writes in another mrtg a He gives Capt. Billy a son, Lonto, who falle in love with Evelyn Meadows, and marries her, too. A third of the space is taken up with this love affair. THE STRANGEST POINT found in the comparison of the two authors’ is that both tales end with the same bit of log-book history, while their ideas of the relation of all other facts differ widely.

A FLAT CONTRADICTION, The Lady Who Lost the Prize Tells What She Knows. Mrs. Carey, who did not get the $25 prize for having begged a jug full of money for St. Peter's Church, make sthe following reply to Mr. Spotswood Rice: In reply to Mr. Spotswood Rice, the Secretary of the Church and a trustee, I don’t believe that any person but Mr. Rice had anything to do with the statements published, because Mr. Samuel Jenckins, one of the trustees said to me I had won the prize and ought to have it. One of the trustees, C. B. Sexton. would not have anything to do with it. This same Mr. Rice said before several persons that I had won the prize. Healsosaidto me at another time that if I would give him Slo of the $25 he would intercede for me and get it, which I re- fused to do. As the Ministerial Alliance was not atthe chureh when Elder Preston made the statement concerning the prise, they ought to keep quiet about it, but to let them know something about itI will relate this in- stance: One gentleman of high standing promised me he would beg me something in my jug. When I gave it to himI had two $6 bills and 15 cents in silver in, when be gave it back to me he said he had ut $2.10 in it, lcould tell from shaking the ug there was but the two pieces of silver in the jug and that I had begged, so I mistrusted he had not put anything inthe jug. I took two hat pins and turned the bills several times to the hole of the jug and could see the figure five on the bills, but no two. I went back and told him I thought he had made a mistake and did not put the $2 in the jug. Hesaid yes he did; he put it in the jug in presence of a gentieman and on Thanksgiving night as he knew it would soon be time for the jugs to be broke, he called me aside and gave me $2.10 and told me to put it in the jug quick. Hedid not want anyone to see him give it to me, he said he did not mean he put $2.10 in the jug, but he said he meant there was $2.10 in the jug. As to the prize being offered on conditions that the total amount of the jugs bad to be $100 is an untruth. He never guve that out until Sabbath evening; at which time I got up in the congregation und told him it was an un- truth. I was the lady to tell him 80. As for saying I begged for the $25 and not for the church, isan untruth. If I had been beg- ging for myself I would have kept the money while I nad it. If Mr. Rice has been in the habit of taking the church for a cloak, I have not. 8 N Industrial Interests. Tne J. G.

Charged With Petit Larceny. SONNENFELD’S. THE LAND OF PLENTY. ARKANSAS IS THE PLACE, AS 18 FULLY SHOWN BELOW. A Remarkable Bushel of Apples Weighing Fifty Pounds, Which Contained but Forty-Four Apples—Other Remarkable Instances of Fruits Grown in the State— Beauties of the Climate. Special Correspondence of the PostT-DISPATCH. FORT SMITH, Ark., Dec. 9.— RKANSAS as an agri- cultural State, will not be fully appreci- ated unless it is re- membered that south ofthe Boston Mouat- ains the season is about five weeks longerthan north of them. This variatjon occurs within forty miles of the moun- tains. The country south of the mount- ains is capable of producing anything that can be raised in the Northern temperate zone and many of the semi-tropical prod- ucts. The writer saw at Fort Smith onthe Ast day of November of this year, sweet elysium, chrysanpthemums, sweet violets, roses and noney-suckles, blooming profusely in the open gardens, and quite a variety of vegetables still growing. At a fair held on the 19th of October there were sixty-four varieties of vegetables, all in good condition for eating, in our display. The impression entertained by sqme that the country is suited to corn and cotton oniv is entirely erroneous. The cultivation of cotton in this pagt of Arkansas was forced upon the people as a necessity, owingtothe fact that transportation was expensive. The popula- tion was sparse, sothat it became necessary to get the product ofthe farm into the small- est number of pounds which would bring the largest price per pound. To do this nothing that would bring ready money equaled cot- ton. Another thing which tended to force the people into raising cotton was that, prior to the late war, there was but one north and south railroad south of the Ohio River. Those living hundreds of miles apart raised nothing they could sell to each other, for all living in the same iatitude had the same products at the same time in the year. Until within a few yoars past Arkansas has not reaped any ad- vantage whatever from its splendid climate, the rainfall and variety of soil. Thie is rapid- ly changing. The north and south rail- roads built and being bulit are developing the country rapidly. Vegetables, fruits, grapes, berries and melons arenow shipped into the more northern sections by train loads, and this enterprise is rapidly inoreaging. Last spring the writer saw put off at Nichol Juno- tion on the ’Frisco Railway four cars of straw- berries for Kansas City, raised near Fort Smith, and the conductor informed him that it was by no means an unusual occurrence. Whatever may be said of the wonderful advantages Arkansas has in its mineral and timber resources, may be saia with equal propriety of its agricaltural resources. It would be dificult, if not indeed im possible, to find any State of the Union in which thereis such a union of advantages as is possessed by Arkansas. It is surprising to those living in the North that such should be the case and the State be so behina in development. The reason is piain when it is remembered that railroads, telegraphs and televhones were as —＋ curtosities in many arte of the State a few years ago as the won- us displays of fruits, timbers and minerals now being made are to the people of other sections of the country who visit the State. Th otpal te conten, yielding from ® prin crop is on, yieldin 900 to 1,750 unds of seed cotton to the sere. lelde 2% to 70 bushels per acre. toes from 150to 250 bushels. T crops of the latter are raised in the same sea- That is, the seed for the second crop is o crop raised in the spring. T - is called the wheat sections, doubt- lees the yield would be even greater. Until lately nearly all the flour used south of the Boston Mountains in Western Arkansas wae shipped in from Missouri and Kansas, but the building of first-class roller mille is fast changing the drift and it will not be at all sur- prising to find Arkansas flour being shipped into Missouri and Kansas. The length of the season in this section makes it peculiarly favorable to agricultural pursuits. There is rarely ever a month in the ear when plowing cannot de done. This ength of season makes whatis termed total agricuiturai failures virtually an imposslbil- ity. The variety which can be cultivated profitably is so great that some of the important crops would succeed well while others might be cut off by drought or wet seasons. There are few sections of country where so great a variety of mieten and char- acter of soil can be founds + are a dozen or more of the counties in Western Arkansas ineither of which every possible condition and quality of land may be found, from the low bottoms to the mountain heights. FRUITS. One of the crowning giories of this part of the State is its remarkable apples, peaches, pears and quinces. It has so often been con- ceded where Arkansas fruits have been dis- played in competition, thatthe State has no equal, that itis almosta work of superero- gation to referto the matter. The Boston Herald in 1888, referring to the Arkansas dis- play in the American Pomological Society’s xposition, said: It comprises one of the finest displays of fruit ever seen in this section ofthe country. It is arevelation to the New England horti- culturists. The display comprises sixty-six varieties of native seedlings, by far the largest number ever shown in the United States. The specimens are marvelously large and it seems almost in¢redible that such rich results are obtained without artificial aid. There are also shown seventy varieties of cultivated fruit, which forsize and appearance distances any- thing ever seen in this or any other Northern city. No State inthe Union, it would seem, can compare with her in this line.“ Of the display made at Riverside, in Cali- fornia, a special correspondent of the Cincin- nati Commercial said: Arkansas was awarded the first premium for the finest and largest display of apples ever made on the Pacific coast. The State has taken the first prémium at St. Louis, Boston and New Orleans, and has no more laurels to win on American soil, oa New York Herald said ofthe display ma 6: > »The best apples in this country, and there- fore in the worid are raised in Arkansas.’’ The Riverside Daily Press said of the Arkan- sas exhibit at Riversidé, Cal.: The whole collection is a surprise, not only to our California people, but many prominent fruit men from the+ Northwest who have not heretofore regarded Arkansas as a fruit growing State. ‘‘Many of the varieties far surpass in size and beauty of appearance the same varieties grown tn the Northern States.“ These, 1 other extracts of similar nature, were kindly furnished to the writer by H. Adair, Red., the Secretary of the Fort Smith Chaniberof Commerce. Enough, how- ever, have been given to warrant the asser- tion that Arkansas isthe true apple State of the Union. It is claimed that far greater re- sults could be ubtained were the same care bestowed upon the orchards as in other States. The varieties are almost countless. The glory of the Arkansas orchard, however, is the „Shannon. A bushel exhibited at the Octo- ber Fair here, weighing fifty pounds, con- tained but forty-four apples. There are larger apples in Arkansas than even the Shannon, but none there or elsewhere can compare with it in beauty, perfume and flavor. P BACHES. Ithas been a conceded factthat the peach belt for many years past has gradually been going south. The peach sections in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey are declining every year, while in Arkansas the peach crop Is im- proving constantly. trous to the peach crop in the North and East, isnot known. Much more attention is — 1 to this luscious fruit, and carloads are daily shipped atthe proper season from many parte of the State. It is claimed that there bas never been anything like a bad fail- ure of the crop in the State. In addition to the magnificent apples and peaches, quinces and pears stand fully as high as to size and guality. The varieties of these, however, that are profitable is not so great as of apples and peaches, but those which do well at all do marvelousiy well. GRAPES. One n only to look around him in the woods of Western Arkansas to know that it is the home ofthe grape. Some of the wild varieties are ual in size to several of the fine varieties cultivated gra „ and it is not an unusual thing to find wild grapevines measuring from ten to twelve inches in diam- eter. There is on exhipition at the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Fort Smith a grape- vine 8] feet and 10 inches in length, the growth of a single season. igners n . . * te ‘3 ; 2 ‘ * * .

It was moved to lay the motion on the table, but Mr. Macklin succeeded in getting the floor.

VEGETABLES. In the matter of garden vegetables it would be im possible to find a more 7 figid, or one which will yield so much income in pro- portion to the labor bestowed. The variety is endless, embracing all that can be raised as far north as Minnesota, and many whieh can- not be raised in the colder iatitudes at all. The demand for vegetables and mejons early in the season is almost unlim and the capacity of the coun around the. city of Fort Smith cannot w be overstated. No better section of country can be found for the fruit raiser and market gardener. The day Is not distant when this section will besome a center for these industries. THE FORT SMITH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. This body in connection with its other busl- ness has not overlooked the fact that nothing is so convincing as what one sees, and acting upon thés have gotten up an exhibition of products and resources ofthe country, such as few could believe without seeing. It is worth any man's time who visite Fort Smith to go to the Exhibit Hall and look through it. The display of fruit is grand beyond she power of description. One would have to see it in order either to believe in or appreciate it. In fruits there are ere ee varieties, Shan- non apples weighing 21 ounces and 15 inches in circumference, Warren eee weighing ounces, wine saps weighing thirteen ounces, second crop a — and strawberries, quinces weighing seventeen otatoes weighing eight pou k about coal you wilibe pointed toa taken from a single vein nearly five feet thick and weighin tons.

The investiga- tion was provided for ina a} very ingenious resolution introduced by Mr. Mack- Un at last night’s meet- Img. The resolution pur- ported to have relation only to the free books question, but its scope and the intention with which it was brought forward were at once understood by the old members of the board and there was quite a lively discussion. The resolution in brief was to appoint a committee of seven to make a thorough examination into the finances and expenditures of the former board to ascertain whether by economic management free books could not be afforded.

mn 5 QHECKMATED. ; ‘ now CHICAGO'S SHARP SCHEME Was DE- . : FEATED BY 8ST. LOUIE. The Windy City’s mpt to Secure the World's Fair by Snap Judgmenat—A Pian That Would Have Succeeded Had It Not Been for St. Louls—This City’s Growing Strength. 0 aa .. BTTERS were reoelved from members the St. Louis delegation bow in Wasnington to the effect that within the past week the out- look forSt. Louis has very greatly improved aud that the prospects are brighter than they have been at any pre- vious period. St. Louis, it is stated, was heavily handicapped. at the time that Congress assembled by the ‘fact that but three or four representatives of the World’s Fair Committee were present to urge the claims of this ocity, and these had to meet the competition of from fifty to sixty Chicagoans, the latter city hav- ing a large delegation at each of the hotels, in addition to a numerous skirmisbing force. . AN ATTEMPTED SURPRISE. The consequence was that a number of Con- gressmen who had come to the city without any choice were inclined to favor Chicago. Now, however, it is believed that all this has been changed, and that St. Louis has nearly if not quite as many votes assured on the Grst Dallot as the city bythe sewer. The addi- tional force added to the St. Louis delegation since Frank Gaiennie took charge of the Wash- ington end of,the campuign has done very ef- fective work, and the gains made will be shown plainly when the vote is taken. In fact they have been shown already. The Chicago emissaries saw that the sooner the vote was taken the better it would be for them and strained every nerve to induce Congress to push the question to a decision before the ad- journment for the holidays, or at least to appoint a committee that would make a report before that time. The object “ was to allow Chicago to bring all her forces to bear before any of her rivals had prepared for the contest. It ig the supposi- tion of many that this plan would have suv- ceeded had it not been for the opposition of the St. Louiscontingent, which“ was the first to perceive te animus of Chicago in hastening the appointment of a committee, whose red- Ommendation, if not absolutely decisive, would certainly be of immense advantage to the city in whose favor it was made. NO SNAP JUDGMENT. The manager of the St. Louis campaign con- ferred with those favoring New York and Washington, and without entering into any entangling alliances so arranged matters that sufficient strength was mustered in Con- gress to prevent any action being taken until all competitors had deen afforded an opportunity of present ing their claims. The Chicago contingent soon saw that their efforts to steal a march on St. Louis would pr ve abortive, and in conseguence fully two-thirds of the delega- tion has left Washington, the departures including many of the most influential and active men. The members of Congress have recognized the efforts of Chicago to obtain snap judgment, and many who were non- committal have announced their intention of not casting their votes for Chicago. The St. Louis contingent is now busily at work among the unpledgea members of the House of Representatives, more than half of that body, and bave secured a number of pledges among them. In addition to this, and fully as important, isthe work done among those whose firstchoice is some city other than St. Louis. Recognizing the fact that a selection on the first baliot, or until some break in the forces asthey are at presunt cliqued occurs is almost an impossibility, the St. Louis committee has gone to work to se- cure the support of different Congressmen in use the city which they favor drops out. The success in this direction has been most en- couraging, as a Careful canvass has shown that, while as first choice other cities have strocger support than St. Louis, none have anything approaching a majority, and none can compete with this city’s support as sec- ond choice. On the whole since the new management has been inaugurated the hopes of the friends of this city in Washington have been very much raised. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

John Buttermore figured in a somewhat sensational adventure, and spent part of the night in a cell at the Four Courts. About 1 o’clock it appears that Buttermore went to a cab stand at Thirteenth and Pine streets and began to talk with a cabby named Cohen. He wanted to take a ride, he said, but would not pay what Cohen asked. Cohen then walked away a few yards. When he turned a minute later he saw Buttermore on the seat with whip and reins in his hand in the act of driving away. Before he could reach the horse’s head Buttermore cracked him across the head with the whip and rattied away. Cohen hurled awrench at the an | figure then jumped into another cab an started in hot pursuit. He biew his police Whistle as he went. Officers Murra and Ault were in the vicinity an responded. Cohen stopped long enough to take the blue coats on board, then rehewed the chase. Up Pine to Twenty-third they went, both drivers LASHING THEIR HORSES to a full gallop and the officers firing their re- volvers in the air for tle purpose of frighten- ing the fugitive. But Buttermore did not frighten worth acent. He was too full to handle the reins with of dexterity, however, ing the turn at Twenty-third Pine be almost everturned his cab, As it was, the horses ran up on the sidewalk and gal- loped down to Olive street. The officers were now close behind, and Buttermore took to his legs. Sliding off the seat he tried to make away, but was brought to a standstill before he had taken many steps. This morning early he gave bond for his appearance in the Police ourt, and was released. An hour later Cohen peared atthe station and stated that his horse was dying from the treatment it had ro- ceived at Buttermore’s hands. Accordingly, the latter was ain taken into custody, Officer Murray making the arrest. Bound was furnished.

N 9 Ah,“ replied Mr, Johnson, but thé’ Brotherhood is not bankrupt. We have sent Kelly assurances within the last twenty-four hours that ought to settle matters. We are no longer the under dog in the fight.’’ The Clarkson Story. The story that John Clarkson had deserted the Brotherhood and signed with the National League team of Boston has been generally be- lieved. It was also claimed that he had se- cured Catcher Ganzel and ‘‘Pop’’ Smith for the National League team of the Hub. Olark- son was alleged to have seoured a three-year cont $10,000 a year with the League team, and Smith and were to receive big increases over their salaries of last season. Even the eredulous base ball crank would re- quire a grain or two of salt before swallowing a story that Clarkson bad been offered a three- ar contract, with $10,009 a year, byany club. e is a great pitcher, but is not, worth any- thing like that salary. Whether he sins with the National League or the Piayers’ League it is very safe to say that his salary will fall con- siderably short of $10,000 a year, no matter what claims may be madeto the contrary. He would be a poor purchase for any club at that figure. Ganzelis a splendid catcher and fine bateman, and ifhe had been secured, as was claimed by the Boston League team it would be _— u capture for them. Smith is not a particularly stroug man, and where he plays outs little re in the fight. Revised List of Signed Players. The list of men signed by the Players’ League Clubs contains 106 names. When the teams are complete about one hundred and twenty men will be on the roils of the new League. Here is the revised list up to date: Boston—Kelly, Nash, Richardson, T.

Weidenfeiler, President of the Chicago Players’ League team, is mentioned as one of the most availiable men for the presidency of the Players’ League of America. The annnal meeting occurs in New York on Monday, and the players, with whom Mr. Weidenfeller is a general favorite, are de- termined to push his claims. He, however, states positively that he is not a candidate ane could not accept the office if tendered m. My private interests, said Mr. Weiden feller to a reporter, are such that it would be an impossibility for me to give che neces- sary time and attention tothe presidency of the Players League. Who will be chosen president? Well, that is. a E delicate uestion, but I think either Mr. McAlpin of — Tork, or Mr. Corey of Boston will be chosen. Those Sullivan-Jackson Purses. Enormous purses for afight between 8uili- van and Jackson continue to be. offered by towns allover the country. San Francisco came infirst with the suggestion that the Cal- ifornia Athletic Clubs weulda put up $10,000 for a meeting between the men. Then San Jose, Cal., offered a purse of $15,000 for the men to fightthere. Towng in Montana, Washington, Dakota aud other places followed with their offers. Texas was next heard from and so was New Orleans. Finally Buffalo, N. Y., came in with an offer of $80,000, and now comes Peoria, III.: With a $50, 000 offer. With few exceptions these offers are all bluffs, as most ofthe places cannot raise the purses they are * Both Buffalo and Peoria ere well aware that the authorities of those cities would never permit the exhibition to take place and their offers cannot be viewed In a serious light.

PARIS Exposition has made the test, And proved Guerin’s photos the best. VIEWS OF THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, The Existing Influences Thought to Be of the Most Favorable Character. Henry Clews this week says: ‘From the gen- eral aspect and symptoms of the market we should judge that while there is no disposi tion to start at present any active movements, yet there is a steady laying in of stocks in reparation for a future campaign. This, owever, does not so much depend on the rospects of the new year demand for the re- nvestment of earnings of capital—which has in late years been so much over-estimated as an influence that it bas now almost ceased to be considered—as it does upon considerations ofa more solid and substantial nature. As ugual at the close of the year the course of business is likely to be that of duliness and neglect, perhaps favoring the ‘‘bears’’ quite as much as the ‘‘bulis,’’ in spite of the encouraging general conditions. The uniform tenor of information from Lon- don is to the effect that the feeling there in respect to Americas investments shows a marked improvement; and these reports have been confirmed during the week by lib- ral purchases on London account. The ndon money market is easy though sensi- tive. Here the rate tor sterling exchange has fallen to a point which is close upon ad- mitting of imports of gold, whilsta year ago gold was going the other way. Should an im- port of specie occur, however, it is probable that the gold would come from Paris rather than ndon. The earnings of the raliroads still show large increases, The gross earnings of sixty- seven roads for the month of November show an increase of 12.10 per cent over the same month of iast year. Reports from ali the leading branches of industry show not only an unveually active state of trade, but also a healthy and satisfactory state of prices. The local money market shows a steady gain in the direction of ease. The withdrawal of money by the Treasury from the depository banke has ceased to unsettle Wall street, for the reason that itis found that the deposit- Ories are allowing the Treas to take the bonds deposited against the Treasury funas beld by them, which not only enables the banks to retain the money, but also to them the milums re- on the sale of the bonds. The opening of Congress bas not had any special effect in finandial circles. The chief interestin the department reports centered in the views of the Secretary of the Treasury on the silver question. The Secre *s po- sition on this point was general! ved fa- vorably ; bis alternative suggestion of author- izing the issue of certificates against deposits of silver bullion is N as impracticable and not likely to receive the support of Con- gress; on the whole, therefore, Mr. Windom’s sition is regarded as amonnting practically to keeping the matter where it now ds; which, in view of the apprehension of an in- crease of coinage, is regarded as a welcome alternative.

When the Democratic State Committee re- assembled at 8 o’clock yesterday afternoon the sub-committee consisting of Messrs. Car- roll, Phelps and Dalton, which had been-ap- pointed to recommend a secretary, reported in favor of the selection of Mr. Frank Walker of Jefferson City. The programme had been learned before the meeting dy D. B. Lillard, the principal other aspirant, and he and his friends had done some active work for the urpose of defeating the slate nomination. On the first ballot the contest was compli. SOP (Lit ena cated by a bird candidate in the person of Editor Goodman of the Olarksville e Goodman received the votes of Capt. Joe Brown and Mr. Dalton. On the second Dallot the vote was a tie. Williams, Thomas, O'Meara, Tansey, Dalton, O’Day and Phelps voted for Lillard. Oarroll, Funk, Young, 101 son, Maffitt, Silver and Brown vo for Walker. On the next ballot Phelps and Thomas voted for Walker. Thesalary of the ecretary was fixed at $2,000 per annum and. halrman Mafflit was empowered to select rooms in St. Louis for Democratic headquar- ters. Tnere was quite an animated discussion over Capt. Joe Brown’s plan for gAstematiz- ing the party organization. In unfolding his ideas the Captain had said a great deal about tariff reform literature and tariff re- form clubs, This cvoked the wrath of Waller Young. He said it seemed to him that instead of reorganizing Democracy it seemed to him that they were making preparations to organize a new party which would be known as the ‘‘Tariff Reform Party. le sald he did not believe in any one idea pone: He himself was a whole and he coul swallow all such Jonahs as „Granger, Wheeler“ and ‘Tariff Reform- ers. The Democrats of Missouri, he said,. did not want tariff dictation or any other kind of dictation. they wanted was a plan to count noses. The result was that the tariff reform features of Capt. Brown’s plan were all cut out, and after this surgical operation the plan wasthen re- ferred to a committee to dress its wounds and turn it over to the Secretary to put in opera- All State Committee, is about 38 years of age and alawyer by profession.

There are thousands of short stories, but very seldom is one found which makes any deep and lasting impression upon the reader, while many lack even the cardinal element of interest. To separate the wheat from the chaff in this important field of fiction, THz Youtn’s ComMPANION offered cash prizes, amounting to $5,000, for the best short stories with which to entertain its readers in 1890. Writers in America and Europe, great and small; au- thors eminent and unknown, have * entered as competi- tors and nearly Six Thousand | stories have been submitted. Every one is looking forward to reading the new Prize Stories. If they could be com- bined in one book, it would readily sell at $1.75: And yet this entire series of short Stories is only one feature among the one hundred or more attractions covering the 52 weeks of 1 and all purchased with the price of a single subscription. ($1.75.) Send for the full Illustrated Prospectus for 1890. THE Youtn’s Companton, 41 Temple Place, Boston, Mass. 7 4 Mrs, W. the wife of a sign painter, aged | —— 2 8 a; 2 a. 5 0 mn?

A Novel Sight Presented Along the Line of a Railway. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPatTon. ATCHISON, Kan., Dec. 11.—The Orete branch ofthe Missouri Paeific in Nebraska, a line ex- tending from Weeping Water to Crete, a dis- tance of fifty-four miles, presents a novel sight. The line is a new one and consequently is not provided with as many elevators .and other grain storage houses as older roads and as everything with a covering is already full, farmers who have corn for shipment lare compelled to throw it on the ground until the railroad can haul it away. t every station might mean so very much—to those who had passed through the flood of the century and had not forgotten its horrors—this cry was contagious. It spread like wild-fire itself, and was on every lip in an instant. Terrified and panic-stricken, the hundreds of people in the audience rushed over seats, struggling bodies and everything toward the one means of exit. This, alas, was only a single narrow stairway, and over one an- other, headlong and otherwise, the fright- endd people tumbled, regardless of the con- sequences. It was found necessary to turn a stream of water in the crowd from a fire engine standing near before the dead and wounded could be taken out. The scene was awful. Men fought like wild beasts. Women and children, trampled upon in the mad rush for the street, moaned pite- ously. The manager and afew among the audience who retained their presence of mind, endeavored to quiet the crowd, but the effort was wasted. It was over two hours after the jam before the hall was cleared, and some injured and dead were lying in the building an hour after the crash. Several jumped from the windows, and in this way the list of injured was materially swelled. THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. The reports sent out were not much exagger- ated. The roll of wounded is not as long as was at first supposed, but the dead list this this morning s positively known to number ten, and five of the injured are reported to have died this morning at their homes in various parts of the number of _ § injured None of those now surviving are seriously injured, being merely bruised and shocked. The doctors say that the most re- markable feature of the accident is that nota single bone was broken either of those killed or of those injured. The following is a list of the killed: Geo, Sleanaker, aged 23, teamster, Miss Lizzie Claveomb, domestic, aged 17; came here five weeks ago from Bedférd County; remains taken there to-day. John Miller, colored, of Chambersburg, Pa.; came here after the flood; waiter in res- taurant. here, but came from Bens Creek, this county. — 5 Burns, aged 40, of Somerset Cou above.

Lou Thompson, who lives at 822 Market street, appealed to Judge Kane this morning for assistance in securing possession of a coat, which she claimed was unlawfully detained by a colored man whom she designated as Rube“ and who, she said, is employed as second cook at Hurst’s Hotel.
