New Tonk, Dec. 28.—The grippe ie officially ignored at Sanitary Headquarters. When the case of the Klamoth family, who were strick- en down with it, was reportea, Surgeon-Gen- eral Hamilton telegraphed from Wasbington asking for an Official verdict upon the report of the sanitary inspectors. Health Commissioner Bryant dictated a reply saying that there wat no evidence of the existence of the epidemic in this city.’’ The grip; bowever, has not ignored the health officials. President Wilson of the Board of Health is prostrated by it? Sanitary Superin- tendent Ewing is down with it,. and half the other officials of the department are suffering from it. Unofiicially, representatives of the Health Department say that probably fifty thousand people in New York are suffering from more or less severe attacks of influenza, but they refuse to give it official recognition. In all there are eighty-one members of the Brooklyn police force suffering from the grip | to-day. A Hearing Postponed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28.—The members of the Waysand Means Committee were on hand promptly at 10 o’clock this morning and waited patiently foran hour for the appear ance of some one Interested in the refining of sugar and desirous of being heard on that subject. At 11 o’clock the committee was called to order and Mr. Flower stated that he was in 1 ofa telegram from J. E. Searles, Jr., Treasurer of the Sugar. Trust informing himthatthe gentleman who had intended to appear was suffering from ‘‘the grip, and asking thatthe hearing be post- poned. In secret session the committee ac- ceded to this request and will accord a hearing to the sugar refiners Janury 4, after the hear- ingson flax, hemp, jute and cotton gees: already set down for that day, shali have been completed. Over 25,000 Cases in Boston. BOsTOoN, Dec. 28.—It is no exaggeration to say that in and around Boston there are 25,000 cases. of La Grippe. A new line of street cars which was to have been opened to-day is not running, as the company has not enough men to run the cars in consequence of la grippe. A number of the city officials are victims of the malady, and at the House of Correction 1388 of the 558 prisoners were laid off from reg ular work. One doctor reports twenty-eight cases. All the surrounding cities report a — ofthe epidemic. Sixty prisoners in the Salem Jail are afflicted, and Waiden City claims 1,000 cases. A colored man named Lewis, an inmate at the Consumptives’ Home, died yesterday of the malady. Alarm in Paris. PARIS, Dec. 26.—The number of deaths from influenza are increasing and the residents of the city are beginning to manifest a panicky feeling. The condition of M. de Freycinet, Minister of War, who is suffering from the disease, ls worse. Drs. Brouardel and Proust have been attacked and thelr condition is serious. Senator Ingalls Recovers. KANSAS City, Mo., Dec. 28.—A special to the Star from Atchison says, Senator Ingalis’ at- tack of ‘‘La Grippe,’’ though very severe, was of brief duration. He was able to be about to-day and will leave for Washington to-morrow night. The Queen of Portugal a Sufferer. LIsBon, Deo. 28.—Queen Amelie, who is suf- fering from an attack of influenza, has so far recovered that she was able to accompany ane Carlos in the procession on the occasion of his proclamation as King to-day.

Mr. Coolidge was one of the oldest bank pres- idents in Boston. The Grip in Canada.” OTTAWA, Ontario, Dec. 28.—A large number of persons in and around this city are affected with a mild type of influenza. It appears in almost every case to be complicated with pneumonia or neuralgia. At Little Rock, Ark. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. LITTLE Rock, Ark., Dec. 29.—Several cases of influenza ofa very mild character are re- ported in this town. —, — NO CASE HERR. Local Physicians Say the Malady Has Not Reached St. Louis. St. Louis is behind the times. It does not possess asolitary case of influenza, the dis- ease which is now so popular throughout Eu- rope and the East. Boston boasts of posscss- ing fully 25,000 actual bona-fide cases, while New York, Baltimore, Columbus, Washing- ton, Norfolk, Philadelphia and even sleepy oid Chicago all claim to be in full enjoyment of ite sneezing influences. Even far-away Hele- na, Mont., with characteristic Western enter- Prize has adopted the new malady and its prevaience there in jail afforded an excuse esterday for releasing the prisoners.

There are an unusual number of colds, but no Russian ia Grippe.’’ Dr. Otto Forster has not heard of any case elther, and does not think the city possesses any. DB. MULHALL has hada number of patients who came to him to be treated for ‘‘la grippe,” but none of them have been able to produce a genuine case, ‘I had a call from a fellow physician this morning, who wanted me to treat bim for Influenza, remarked Dr. Marshall. He as- sured me he had a genuine case, and when I called I found him a very sick man. It was not influenza which he had, however, but bronchitis. Yesterday another physician —4 me on the street and insisted that he Dad influenza. He ls a hypochondriac, how - ever, and bas all sorts of maladies in his im- agination. I found he was merely suffering from a cold. Numerous other people have called me here to be treated for ‘la grippe,’ but the es all turned out to be mere colds. While no doubt you will ind a number of peo- ple who imagine they have it, I do not think there is a genuine case of influenza inthe city. Itisan easy matter to tell the genuine disease, for it d accompanied b great depression both mentally and physi- cally and immediately strikes one as some- thing totally different from any cold with which they bave ever been affilcted. Evory epidemic, however, has tts forerunners in people who imagine tbey have the disease when they have not, There are an unusual number of colds heré now, but that arises from this weather, which has been very moist and deveptive. People get careless and take colds. A good frost and a cold, dry spell would reduce the number of colds.’’ HEALTH COMMISSIONER DUDLEY said he had not yet heard of any cases of in- fluenza in the city, although there might be some isolated cases. He said he thought the influenza was caused by the unusual state of the weather alloverthe world. Any sudden change in the temperature would be apt to cause an unusual feeling in a number of persons. He did nos anticipate any epidemic of influenza in St. uis, although, of course, it wo be impossible to say what might occur. The Board of Health had not yet taken any unusual precautions E an epidemic of influenza. r. Priest, Chief Dispensary Physician, said he had not heard of amy cases of influen- za. Inthe City Jail, where there are 130 pris- oners, no symptoms of the malady bave made their appearance, although he was on the lookout for anything of the kind. He said there had been no cases reported at the Dis- pensary, and thought if there was any influenza St. Louis, they would have a £case or two at the Dispensary. The City Dispensary physicians were on the lookout for anything which looked like la gri or influenza. Dr. Priest says if the pegpladive moderate and pursue their usual a tions there will be no fear of an epidemic. Dr. Steinmetz of the Dispensary staff has been keeping an eye open fora case of la gripe.” but has as yet seen none. He thinks that if there were any cases in the city he would be sure to hear af them. As yet he has heard nothing of'the in- Huenza in 8t. Louls, although the city’s patients are affilcted with every other known ailment. He said that if the poor people didn’t get it the others would be perfectly safe. e dows not believe the epidemic. will strike St. Louis. . Physicians in all sections of the city were called upon, but none of them had any patients suffering from influenza, and none of them bad heard of any genuine case of the All were of the opinion that it had not yet made its appearance in this city. THE DELMAR AVENUE FIGHT. Property Owners Take the Lindell Railway Co. Inte Court. The fight between residents on Delmar ave- nue and the Lindell Railway Co., concerning poles and wires for its overhead electric power system extension, has become some- what bitter. The fight that has been in the Municipal Assembiy for some months got into the courts this morning. Owners of property on Delmar avenue, between Grand and Vandeventer avenues, went into the Cir- cult Court not only to prevent the Lindell Railway from patting up the objectionable * and wires for change of motive power, ut to compell the railway company to tear up its tracks and get off the avenue. The petitioners are Ellis Wainwright, Bethia H. Drummond and her husband, James T. Drummond, A. L. Shapleigh and Bernard M. Verdin, who owa homes on Deimar avenue in the limite mentioned. They claim that James E. Kaime, David Kaime, Trusten Polk, Wm. T. Gay, James E. Munford and representa- tives of Peter L. Vandeventer, who owned the adjoining property, agreed in 1871 to make a street there. Those who owned onthe north side gave thirty-five feet and those on the south side gave forty feet, making a street seventy-five feet widg. The city limit w then 660 feet west of Grand avenue, so part of the dedicated street lay tn the city and part in the county. The deed of dedication recorded July N, 1871, ao- cepted by the oity and the county, contains the provision, with the express reservation and condition that the said street, road and high- way shall never be used for a horse, steam or any other — * This condition is referred to in other parts of the deed, and the petitioners say that since January 1, 18%, the defendant railway has op- erated a horse railway on Delmar avenue, and that it now proposes to put up wires and poles. The court is asked to restrain the rail- way from the erection of such wires and poles and to make an order compelling the railway company to take its tracks away from the av- enue. The Lindell Co. is now operating a part of its blue line (from Jefferson to Grand avenues on Choutean avenue) and an extension of its main line (from Vandeventer avenue on Fin- ney avenue to Taylor avenue and back to Vandeventer on Spring avenue) with electrio- ity, using an overhead system. It is seeking a franchise to run an electric line out Delmar anenue toward Forest Park and, it is under- stood, will, if permitted, use electricity on other parts of its lings. It has a power-house on Compton avenue and the Missouri Pacific ee which supplies all the power now n A Turner Official Short on Cash. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec, %.—The sensa- tion of the day here is the discovery that I. Monasch, Financial Secretary of the Turners’ Building & Loan Association, is short in his ac- counts.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec, 28.—A mysterious explosion in the still-room of the Root River Distillery Co., about six miles southwest of the city, late yesterday afternoon, caused the destruction of the entire plant, together with 400 barrels of highwines. Loss, $6,000; insur- ance, $38,000. Storms on the Atlantic. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New YorK, Dec. 2%.—Unprecedented gales and hurricanes have been howling across the Atlantic during the past two weeks. Big ocean steamers, such as the Oity of Paris, State of Georgia and the Amsterdam, could make no headway against them. The Cap- tain ofthe State of Georgia, which arrived Christmas Day, said that for eight days be did not average 100 miles a day, less than one- half the usual speed. A fleet of atleast ten big steamers has been delayed. No anxiety or apprehension is felt for the safety of any of them. All are stanch sea-going craft. The Devonia of the Anchor Line arrived at Quarantine last night, after a delay of several days. The only steamer long over due is the State of Ala- bama. She sailed from Glasgow December 6. She carried no peapengers. and is supposed to be in ballast, being chartered to come here and load with a cargo of cattle. She fs a slow ship, and her agents express no uncasiness tor her safety. It was rumored yesterday that the State of Alabama hadac of dynamite, and hence the uneasy feeling for her safety. Her agents, however, say that this is not so. Not one of the other steamers reported over due is out long enough to warrant the exag- gerated reports about them. 12. m. to-day the Wisconsin, from Liverpool; the State of Alabama, from Glasgow; Aller, from Bremen; Vendam, from Rottendam, and the Panama, from Bordeaux, arrived all right. They reported stormy weather and head winds. A number of other steamers are over- due, but shipping men say there isno ground for anxiety as the delay is undoubtedly caused by the head winds. Washouts in California. NEEDLES, Oal., Dec. %.—On account of washouts on the other railroads west of here, the Atlantic & Pacific officiais have been com- pelled to return all Los Angeles passengers to Albuquerque, whence they will be taken by the Santa Fe route to Deming and thence to Los Angeles by the Southern Pacific.

A New York Central Official Asked to Va- cate His Office. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPaTCaH. NEW Tonk, Dec, 28.—It leaked out on the Produce Exchange yesterday afternoon that Charles A. Pool, one of the managers of the Grain Department of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, had been asked by Chauncey M. Depew, on behalt of the Board of Directors of thatcompany, to hand in his resignation, to take effect January 1, and that the resignation had been given and accepted. This news caused a good deal of gossip, as Mr. Poolis well known on the Produce Ex- change and in down town business circles. The offices of the grain department are in the building owned by the New York Central Co. at the corner of Broadway and Beaver street, directly opposite the Produce Exchange, of which Mr. Pool its a member, and on the floor of which he is frequently seen. H. McK. Twombly, who married a daughter of Wm. H. Vanderbilt, is the other manager, but he devotes his time principally to the care of the grain elevators. His new associate has already been selected. He is R. T. Douglass of the Western Transit Co., which is another department of the New York Cen- tralsyatem, and the gentieman will commence his duty January 1, getting Mr. Pool’s salary of $10,000, It was said that the reason of Mr. Pool’s misfortune was because of the rather peculiar way in which he disported himseif on the day of the marine parade at the Centennial cele- bration last May. Heon that day had charge of all the tug boats belonging to the New York Central line, As they formed quite a fleet by themselves Mr. Pool conceived the idea of rigging himself up as the admiral of the fleet. Admiral Porter, K. O. B., ofthe Pinafore fame, was not more gorgeously attired than was Mr. Pool on that morning when he stepped on the large tug boat, which was profusely decorated and which was to act as the flag ship of this par- ticular squadron. This boat had on board a large party of some of the high officials of the New York Central Co., andthey did not like this display on the part of Mr. Pool. Furthermore, it is said that they noticed that Mrs. Pool was not with her husband, who, however, bad a female companion whom none of the officers knew, and to whom he was assiduous in his attentions. When it was afterwards learned that he had sent his family on another boat there was a good deal of talk which reached the directors and first caused them to consider the idea of getting rid of Mr. Pool. , It was also said on the Produce Exehange, as another theory to acconnt for this action of the directors, that Mr. Pool had been violating arule ofthe company by speculating. Mr. Pool, according to these statements, had been caught speculating in wheat and this recalled an old story in which he was connected with the disastrous corner in this cereal which was engineered by Keen in 1883, and it was stated that some of Mr. Pool’s obligation losses in- curred when the corner broke were still un- paid. Still another story was that Mr. Pool, con- trary to custom, had been chartering canalboats. used in transporting grain to the eleva and vessels from a man named Onderdonk, instead of from the captain of the canalboats, and thie coming to the ears of the Vanderbilt officials did not please them. Mr. Pool was at his office yesterday but declined to talk about the matter. He seemed surprised to know that the information had been given to the vublic. Headmitted that he had tendered his resignation, to take effect January 1, at tne request of the directors of the company, but denied that he had been asked to resign because there were any charges against him, and declared that he had been positively as- sured by the directors thatno charges what- ever had been preferred. THE HUNS MUST GO, A Movement to Rid the Coke Region of Their Presence. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 28.—A Connellsville (Pa.) special says: With the beginning of 1890 it is quite likely a movement will be inaugu- rated which will rid the Connelisville coke ro- gion of the ‘‘Slav’’ and Hun,“ two very un- desirable classes of residents who have been more than usually unruly during the year just closing. These classes have fully demon- strated their uselessness as residents, and it is rumored that the Order of ‘United American Mechanics will begin a crusade against them which will eventually oust them from the region. The business men of Con- nelisville and, indeed, of all the towns in the region, are aiso interested in this matter. The ‘‘Hun’’ and his kindred spirits are not vers and they argue that if they were replaced by an intelligent and law-apidin body of workers the business interests woul be much improved, for it is claimed that the presence of the Hun and his many depreda- tions keep capital and enterprise away. It is not known in what manner the mem- bers of the order will proceed, but their at- tempt will be watched with interest. Will Oppose the Eight - Hour Movement.

How the German Emperer Regards the press of Brazil—Chariles I. of Pertugal Formally Proclaimed King—Dissatisfac. tion in the Russian Army—F oreign News. LONDON, Dec. 28.—It has pleased the Italian authorities to consider that the revolutionary appeals posted up in various parts of the country are due to French machinations, a conclusion that ig not generally accepted. Italy bas enough anti-monarchist material at home to account for such demonstrations and nothing could be more n than that they should cali upon their inflammatory brethren to imitate the Brazilians and establish an Italian Republic. The hesitation as to the re-establishment of the death penalty in Italy is said to be due to the fear of an outbreak on the part of the Irredentists, a view of the case which is not very flattering to that faction. It is certain that Since the abolition of capital punishment crimes of violence have prevailed in Italy to an alarming degree, and the Government sees. no recourse but to generalize its infliction again. * N , Itis probable that it would be a dead set at France by the combined monarchies of Europe were they sufficiently sure of the con- tinuod subordination of their own people. France is, as the German Emporer lately said to the Russian Ambassador, a firebrand in the midst of combustible material, and the recent activity at Sheemhu and the air of mysterious . elation assumed by the supporters of the Comte de Paris seem to prove that the ru- mored assurances of good will and assistance | from abroad have some foundation. It may be regarded as settled there can be no alliance between Russia and France so long as the latter nation continues to be a republic, and this may be looked upon as one of the most important consequences of the quiet shunting ot Dom Pedro, as the story that the alarmed Sultan of Turkey actually paid up some of his troops’ arrearages on that accouns is the most incredible, Death of the Ex-Empress ef Brasil. LisBoN, Dec. 28.—A dispatch just received from Oporto says that the ex-Empress of Brazil, who was visiting that city with Dom ate. — — 1 I Pedro, died to-day. It is believed that her death resulted from heart disease.

Flad Replies to Judge Laugh- lin's Criticism of His Hstimates. The Mayor Talks About the Bin end Tells Why He Does Not Consult the City Counselior and President of the Board of Public Improvements—President Me- Millan's Brief in Behalf of the Laclede Co.—Judge Laughlin Presents the Posi- tion of the Promotors—Gas Stocks Tumbling—Laclede Securities Drop This Afternoon—Some Holders Anticipate That the Mayor Will Sign the Bill. HE probable action of the Mayor up the all-absorbing topic of the gas bill creating a great deal of interes * and a great deal of calculating’ is being done on the subject. ' No one so far has been 8 tal round who bas a 1 1 pos ae tive opinion cdncern- ing the Mayor’s prob- > |,,able action, but many are at hand who will Sim*eladiiy make deduc- tions to prove their views of the gase. One peculiar circumstance which is creating no little comment is that the Mayor has not referred to City Counselor Bell nor President Flad in the case at all. It has been his custom whenever a bill involving any legal points came up before him to request an opinion from the City Counselor so as to have the city’s legal representative in the case, and whenever there is any engineering voint in- volyed to call upon Col. Flad. In this case he has asked neither of these gentlemen for his opinion. The Council Committee thought it advisable to hear both of them, but the Mayor hasnot. He has no official knowledge of their opinions, and all he knows concern- ing their views has been obtained indirectly. Whether or not he will call upon them re- mains to be seen. This fact is brought forward by the opposition in argument to show that the Mayor will not sign the bill. because if he intended to sign it he would not be likely to put himself in the position of be- ing accused ofaction similar to that of the Council and having the charge brought that he was afraid to hear officially the opinions of Mr. Bell and Mr. Flad. To-day he heard no opiniong publicly and did not get to Lis office until after 12 o’clock. The brief of Mr. McMillin was made public during the morning. It ls an ar- gument of some length based upon the idea that it would be unwise to allew another com- petitor inthe field of gas manufacture, as an increase in price would betheresult. Mr. McMillin gives the history of the gas business in St. Louis and comparative statements of that of other cities. WILL NOT DECIDE TO-DAY. The Mayor was seen and asked if he would say when a decision eould be looked for. He replied that he could not, bat he had until next Thursday -in which to decide, and he had not as yet read the briefs pre- sented to him. It was gathered from what he said that no decision would be ar- rived at this afternoon, and probably not be- fore Monday. When agked if he intended asking for opinions from City Counselor Bell or Col. Flad he said it depended entirely upon whether or not he struck anything in the bill too complicated for him to handle alone. „Will you hear any more arguments? was asked. „No; Ihave heard all Iwant to hear, and have had the arguments written, so that Ioan read them over quietly.’’ COL. FLAD’S REJOINDER, President Fiad of the Boardof Public Im- i was not present yesterday when udge Henry D. Laughlin, made his argument before the Mayor, and as an argument in favor of the gas pill made his attack upon Col. Flad. Judge Laughlin undertook to prove that Col. Flad was wrong in his estimates and had made up nis mind in advance that the bill was not a gd one and that he had tried to proye it bad afterwards. Col. Flad said this 122 „The attack of Mr. Laughlin upon me 1s a very cuttlefish sort of a procedure. He tries in the first place to diyert attention of all from the main issue by centering it upon me and making me out wrong. If Mr. Laughlin could proveto hig own satisfaction a dozen times over that I was wrong that would not prove to any one that the bill he is inter- ested in is right. His attack upon me was one of the meth he used to keep the attention off the bill. As to hfe arguments to show how mistaken I 1 my figures, and his insinua- tion in the matter of my letter to Mr. Davis of the Water Gas Co., he simply does not know what he is talking about. wrote the sletterto Mr. Davis to learn just what l asked about. I wanted figures on water gas, the rest I had, yeni d obtained them during the time I was qa member of the as commission, He says further that I avored accepting the proposition of the La- clede Co. when it proposed to lease its works for6per cent. on $3,500,000; there he again shows he docs not know what he is talking about. The proceedings of the Gas Commission were supposed to be prexete, but Lean prove that I was one of the first to say that the La- clede company proposition should not be oon- sidered for an instant, ta the statements in my pamphlet on the Dill, I will stick to every one of them. Ae not desire to enter into any controversy, 8. 4 subjects Judge Laughlin wishes to di o not bear on the point at issue, I will Bimiply say that I stick to everything I said in My report on the bill and that Mr. Laughlin does not know what he is talking about. MR. STONE'S INVESTIGATION. Delegate Stone was seen this morning and asked what he thought of the arguments pre- sented to the Mayor yesterday. He would not discuss them, butsaid that Mr. Estes had made some very queer statements and that his arithmetic was somewhat offthe track at times. Hesaidinreference to the gas inves- tigation be was conducting: 7 **We will not meet again until Monday. We were to have Mr. MoMilien before us, Out he said he was very busy, so we could not bear him to-day.’’ „What do you expect to show by your re- searches?’’ was asked. We hope to show that the Laclede company has farfeited the franchise and, that there is a truat. „Do you believe now that the city cannot regulate the price of gas?“ Well, Ido not like to aay so, but under the resent condition of affairal don’t think it as. We hope soon, however, to develop facts which will put the city in a sition to regulate matters. I think that the Carondelet Oo. will soon play an important part in gas al 18. On the gas bill Mr. Stone said he did not care whether the Mayor vetoed itor not. „ UNAUTHORIZED AND IMPUDENT.'’ Mr. Ben E. Blum, foreman of Distriet the As- sembiy, to-day eaid: The appearance of Shaw and Clifton beforethe Mayorinthe gas matter representing themselves as the repre- eentatives of the labor element was a piece of impdence. They were not authorized to rep- esent any | r organization. Clifton hu Sean expelied from the Knights of Labor, and that expulsion has been ratified by thejbighest court to whieh it van be r either d be countenanced in hey were not authorized resentative of any ion. It was the Shaw nor Clifton wo any labor meeting. to appear there as the re workingmen’s orgen : impudence, R. ESTES’ FIGURES. .

Flad’s report; that the Colonel B eat works would a h at atimeted at the . : post ’ ad th h I 4220 22 F ne sity Mr. Frank pay for any of these things? And it the old and worn-out Laciede 1 had been offered to the city for $3,600,000, with an additional $1,100,000 to de paid for extension of Pag! ant making $4,700, in all—and Col. Flad had recommended that the city should accept that offer—would not 4 complete new plant, with 50 percent greater capacity and all moder improvements, be well worth $4,500,000 1 of the fear that the promoters would ake millions and millions out of the enter- cent interest, and the consumers Of gas have to pay it all. THE PROJECTORS’ POSITION. Judge Henry D. Laughlin smiled thig morna- ng nes the gas steal was spoken of aud said: ‘*‘When people characterize this bill as a steal oer simply forget what sort of a propo- sition it ig. e stand exactly in the light of man who goes to another and says, ‘I wil build you a house of a certain kind for $10,000. ’ Ifthe proposition ig considered 4 fayorabie one it is been if not it is rejected. The city has been puzzled for years with a gas problem. It has had companivs here that it could neither get rid of nor control. The peonie have been . to them and ave denounced them. The city officers thought of adopting some plan for getting control of the gas supply and as soon as that desire was announced the Laciede offered its plant for more than we ask for new works, Col. Fiad approved the roposition, but when the Laclede Lo. thought t would be accepted they withdrew it; we simply make a plain proposition; the olty is at liberty to accept or reject it. tf any others have a proposition to submit let them submit it; there is nothing in the way.’’ Speaking of Col. Flad he said that the Colo- nel had estimated that the Grand avenue bridge would cost * 000 and it actually $450, 000. Col. Fiad’s figures for hie $2,000,000 estimates were all based on a 300, 000, 000-foot plant, whereas it is proposed to bulld a pliant of 1,000,000,000 feet annual capacity. He figured for 38-inch gas pipe at $4,800 a mile, while with a plant of 1,000,000,000 capacity, 12-inch pipe at $13,000, or 20-ineh at $28 , 600 * would be required. And the other figures of Col. Flad's estimates were proportionately erroneous. A GAS MAN'S VIEWS. President Emerson MeMiliin of the Laclede Co. pubmitted to Mayor Noonan a written brief, giving his reasons why he opposed the new billand pointing out some of the results which must follow if the bill becomes a law. The brief begins with the statement of the following reasons why the bill should not be signed: Another company would divide the bust ness. A division of the business would increase the cost of manufacture and result in higher prices. The Laclede Co, desires to extend its plant and reduce its prices. Another compauy would prevent this. Another company would not benefit the public, andit would therefore be unjust to injure and depreciate the value of one now established, which is largely owned by citi- zens. Arguing the points thus set out Mr. McMil- lin makes some statements which strike one very foreibiy. He saya that the new bill only provides for 200 miles of mains; the Laciede already has more than 300 miles, yet it is pro- posed by the projectors of the new company tosupply the same territory with more than one-third less. That the two companies would divide the business is sure, for in the competition which would arise each would be certain to meet any concessions made by the other to consumers, and merchants and residents could not be induced to go to the expense of making new house connections just to receive gas from another company, of the same quality, at the game price, measured by a meter exact- ly similar. The new eompany could not ob- tain more than one half of the business and both plants having about equal capacity, yet selling not more than half the makers would be put to a greater COST IN MANtIFACTURING than whenthey sold all they made. The leakage amounts to 15 percent now, but the less the quantity supplied to mains of great capacity, the greater the leakage, and on this account an unnecessary expense will be added. The price of gas in St. Louis has been steadily re- duced, not because of legisiation, but be- cause of the extension of the system, for the greater the system the cheaper the cost, since a main of acertain capacity can furnish a supply equal to its full capacity just as well as half that amount, and thus when there are many milesof mains connected with thou- sands of business houses and residences the gas can be supplied at a less cost than when there ate less miles of mains and fewer con- sumers. Speaking of municipal ownership of gas- works, Mr. McMillin cited the cases of the three principal cities in the country which had rovided their own works, Philadelphia, ichmond, Va., and Wheeling, W. Va. Wheeling has not succeeded in making its gas- works self-supporting, ahd has been unable to extend its system. In Richmond the works have about supported themselves, but outside aid has had to be called in for the extension of the plant. The gas works of Philadelphia has been the cause of more bood- ling and more corruption than the Tweed ring of New York ever practiced, and in addi- tion have cost the citizens hundreds of thousands ofdollars. They owe the city a debt of over $3,000,000, but five years ago they had a cash working fund of $600,000. Every year since then they have . HAD A DEFICIT of about $100,000, a total in the five years of $503 , 109. 03. The Laclede Co. furnishes gas to ite consumers at $1.25, less 5 per cent, making the net cost a frac- tion over $1.18. The cost in Philadelphia for the past five years has heen as follows: 1884, $1.09; 1885, $1.08; 1886, $1.06; 1887, three months, $1.20; 1887, nine months, 97 cents; 1888, 91 cents. FN the city has a sur- plus of about $500,000, but where did it come from? Thecity called upon a private corpo- ration to put up and operate auxiliary works, and that private corporation is now selling to the city 1,000,000,000 per annum, and the sur- plus was made there in spite of a deficit in the city works. Mr. McMillin points to these facts to show that gas- works owned by cities are not profitable. He mentions that in Columbus, O., acity about the same size as Richmond, Va., having works of about the same capacity. The private corporation which operates them pays to its stockholders $50,000 a year in diyi- dends and pays for its own extensions, In conclusion he makes a strong argument on the fact that some months ago, when Col. Flad drew up plans and specifications and called for bids, there was not a soiltary ro- sponse to the call all though the inducement offered them was 6 per cent, yet the Branham Co. is anxious to furnish money to build works for a return of only 5 per cent. a BIG DECLINE, This afternoon there was a big deeline in Laclede bonds on Third street. Mr. John H. Blessing of Gaylord, Blessing & Co., said this afternoon to a Post-DIsPaTcHu reporter: „There was great excitement on Third street this afternoon in consequence of the drop in Laclede Gas Co. bonds. They sold at 88 late this afternoon which is a big drop, as they origin- ally sold at 9%. The drop was undoubtedly caused by the new gas Dill, and the general sentiment of the street among the moneyed men is that Mayor Noonan wiilsignthe bili. This after- noon everyone wasrunning around trying to sell their securities, and a number of bonds were disposed of at 83. If the Mayor should sign the bill then the securities will drop much lower. From the excitementon the street to-da it is very evident that some one bas got goo reasons for thinking that Mayor Noonan will sign the bill.’’ - YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.

CHARLESTON, 8.

These were Ripley Johnson and Mitchell Adams, charged with murdering a man named Hefferman, and six others charged with the murder of young Martin. The prisoners were taken out of town and shot to death. The jailer was tied and forced to accompany the lynchers. The whole thing was conducted in a very skilful manner, the citizens ot the town not knowing anything ebout it. A great many negroes are collected at the scene of the lynching and more trouble is anticipated. The Governor has been appealed to for troops to preserve the peace. Triple Murder in Michigan, DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 28.—A special from Rochester, Mich,, gays: A cold blooded triple murder was committed two miles north of Mount Vernon last night by Wm. Major, who Killed his wife, his daughter and his grand- daughter. Major, who is about 50 years old and a well-to-do farmer, was in Romeo yes- terday and eame home cheerful. His daugh- ter, Mrs. Joseph Depew of Brandon, and ber Itttle daughter were visiting the house, and ee conversation with them the family re- red. The people were but fairly asleep when Major arose and began the work of slaughter. He took a revolver and shot his wife as she lay asleep, putting two bullets into her body and mertally wounding her. The noise of the shooting awakened the others, but the mur- derea did not hesitate. Springing into the apartment occupied by his daughter and her child he coolly fired a bullet at Mrs. Depew, and when it failed to killher he procured an ax and knocked out ber brains. Then he pulled his little granddaughter from beneath the bed clothing and with one biow of the ax split her head open, killing her instantly. Major then rushed into the room where his little son slept and looked about the bed for him. The little lad had crawled under the bed for safety. As he heard his father search- ing the room, he said: Are you going to kill me, too, papa?“ No, my son, replied the murderer. ‘‘Do not be afraid. Iwon’thurt you. When lam gone you get $150 whien I will leave you and divide it with your sister.’” Then he hastened from the house and up to the present nothing has been heard of him. It is believed, however, that he went to the neighboring forest and kllled himself and that his body will soon be found by the people who are searching for it. The boy gave o alarm as soon as he could and the neighbors found Mrs. Major still alive. She cannot survive, however. The other two were instantly kilied. Major’s body was to-day found in his barn. He had committed suicide by hanging. YOU CAN WIM {NM One of the four prizes IN A WALK. in the World’s Fair Guessing Contest in the SUNDAY POSsST-DISPATCH. Read of them to- morrow. EAST Sr. LOUIS AND BELLEVILLE, Items of Interest From the Two Towns Acroas the River. The East St. Louis Business Men's Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the City Hall, at which the principal business transacted was the appointment of the following committees: Manufacuring— John I. McNair, Henry D. Sexton, Dr. H. J. De Haan, Alderman D. O. Marsh, H. H. Elliott; Real Estate—Jobn G. McNair, E. 8. Guignon, George W. Locke, John W. Ren- shaw, Thomas L. Fekete; Finance—Mayor M. M. Stephens, John B. Lovingston, Patriek Flannery, Dr. H. O. Fairbrother, O. I. Jones; Commercial—Albert M. Meints, Henry C. Jackeisch, Charles Mauer, W. D. Didloke, J. J, Weis; Reception—- James W. Kirk, J. B. Mattlack, Emil J. Egaman, David Marole, Jr., O. D. MeCasiand. The meeting was a short one, lasting not more than half an hour. The only other business of importance wag the reading of communicea- tions from several iaanufacturers who con- template locating factories in East St, Louis. These elicited a great deal of interest and en- thusiasm among the members, who were all greatiy pleased at such an oni dence ofthe early success of the asso- clation in bringing East St. Louis prominentiy before the public, and more especially to the notice ot manufacturers, who may bring into the city industries that will aid largely in the work of building it up. The association has as yet done no advertising at all, but Seo- retary Kwing is almost overwhelmed with correspondence from persons in. all parts of the country who desire to know something of the * t is the intention of the association to begin advertising shortly in various were, and it is expected that East St. Louis will de- rive great benefit from such a course. Kast St. Louis’ enterprising City Council met yesterday afternoon and took another important step in the march of advancement by which it is carrying the city onward by closing a contract for Highting the atreets with electricity. The oontract with the Citizens’ Electric g & Power Co., which has agreed to furnish lamps at tne rate of 5125 per year. The city contracted for sixty lamps, which will be put up on the principal thor- oughfares.

Dress number one was having the las} coquetries added to it fora dinner in the wearer’s honor. The lady is quite handsome, with afair complexion, and masses of hair just touched with an auburno tinge whieh she eurls loosly on the top of her head. The gown was a creamy white satin, brocaded in « 2 I N A Cinderella Gown. raised design with pale peach color, The bodice was full and low and rather ofthe Josephine order. It was finished with a belt with gold traceriess through which was thrust an antique dagger set with jewels. Dress number two was brought with her from England andwas meant, so I understand, to make its first appearance next Thursday evening at McAllister’s New Year's ball. It was a noticeably magnificent tollet having a petticoat of white brocade, a bodice and train of amber satin with high papillion bows on the shoulders, to be worn with a quantity of diamonds. I have heard a vivid account of a Christmas ‘*Cinderella,’’ in a Long Islaud country bouse in imitation of the English dances, from 3 little friend who attended, and she says that the dresses were very pretty, the more so. perhaps, that they were very simple as be- fitted the occasion. One of the best gowns was of black tulle and jet with a bodice of black velvet and an enor- mous bouguet of crimson carnations tied with road sash ribbons of the same color. A Fus ecoming toflet was a delightfully simple - pire costume of white silk trimmed with pogies of daisies. Two sisters who always dress well wore girlish gowns of soft rose- pink crepe and silk, with fan and gloves just one shade paler in tone. A CAPITAL GOWN was maize tulle with beetle- wing panels and bodice of dark-green plush. A pretty debut- ante wore white net, the skirt trimmed with rows of white ribbon, while her stately mother took part in the Sir Roger de Coveriy“ in black tulle ornamented with siver embroid- ery. A young brice made a charming picture in white and gold. Two costumes as striking as any noticed were crimson satin over velvet of a deeper tone, with ®Srnaments of rubies and diamonds and black poult de sole, with touches of warm color supplied by graceful knots of bright red ostrich feathers, The wis} demand among the dancin Abend ekt moss -Kreen tulle ge rickly leaves, gad you ng the same with good ored satin. .

The New Year’s ball may do something to gettie the vexed question of bouquet or no bouquet. At the dances thus far given few For a Fancy Ball. girls bave carried flowers, but the bouquet when used has been one of many dollars. That which Miss Schreiner held in her hand onthe night ot the first assembly was said t have cost $100, and her Patriarch bouquet last week was certainly not cheaper. If items of this sort are to be added to the necessary ex- nditure for a bali gown, there are many Pores de familie who would vote without hesi- tation against the posy. The most resplendent tollettes seen will be, of course, the rich brocades, which are now the right of matrons, however young. An ex- ceedingly handsome gown which awaits the eventful erences has a bodice and train of DARK RUBY VELVET. The whole of the underskirt and the panels at the sides are of a splendid brocade in a deli- cate shade of pale pink, while the front of the skirt is draped from waist to hem witha beautiful tablier of cream lisse closely em- broidered with an elaborate design in fine pearls. The bodice is of dark ruby velvet ar- ranged with a yest of brocade and a chemis- ette A mousseline de chiffon bordered with pearls.

O., Dec. %.—One of the - strongest advocates of Judge Brewer as a man Ot integrity and fairness is Senator Vest. The "= “ ew Senator, in speaking ofthe numerous criti- -@isms made of the Judge, thought it would be strange pass when a decision could be made from the bench without antagonizing some One. The Kansas decision of Judge Brewer originated a feeling against him on the part of the Prohibitioniste and the antipathy of the Arkansas Senators to his - €onfirmation was agreeable to the sentiment of thé people ofthat State, growing out of a decision made by the Judge which was not in strict conformity to their ideas. As to the Wabash Railroad receivership, the orders in that case were the result of Judge Treat’s efforts after a review of the application. The Senator re- ferred to the appointing of deputy marshals at the St. Louis election in 1885, when each and every deputy was selected after a per- sonal investigation of their character by the court, givingan equal division of them po- litically.

A Quiet Holiday Business—Windsor Place— Rebuilding at Third and Locust. The demand for property during this month has been far greater than was ever known be- fore during December, but now that holiday week is here there is very little buying and selling going on. Agents generally are taking things quietly. Tney are not making any et- fort to make sales, but, as one of the fraternity remarked to- day. They are taking advantage ofthe season to have a good time and re- cuperate for the spring campaign. The spring time is always locked upon as the most favor- able season for dealing in real estate and the agents are already predicting an immense business at that eriod. Even now some of the eading speculators and operators are looking about for large plots of ground in anticipation that there will be a brisk demand for it at ad- beg prices between now and the Ist day of April. egotiations have recently been started for the sale ot over 1,000 feet of Maryland avenue property. The Olive street Cable line runs out that thoroughfare to Forest Fark, just one block north of Lindeil, and the parties who are talking of buying want to build up the Vacant spuce with flats and first-class dwell- ings. : A A WINDSOR PLACE PURCHASE. To-day Mr. C. C. Nicholls reports the sale of a Windsor place lot at $48 a foot to Mr. Henry F. Niedringhaus. The property sold fronts 85 feet, by a depth of 140, on the north side of the place, between Alphonsa and Vandeven- ter avenues. Mr. Isaac N. Miller was the grantor. PREPARING TO BUILD AGAIN. Tube insurance losses on the Hoyle building at the southwest corner of Third and Locust have not yet been adjusted, but builders are ring to find out what amount of money will have to be paid. A well-posted architect gays that until tne question of loss has been settled the debris will remain undis- turbed. He thinks, though, that a definite conclusion will be reach in a few days andthat then Mr. Hoyle proceed to re- build, It u not likely, though, that the new bulla ing will be bullt so high as the one de- stroyed by fire. It has been said Mr. Hoyle will not build over four stories next time, asa commeroial structure higher than that is not adapted to the locality. The corner where the old saloon was will most likely be taken in with the new pr‘’ding. A PROSPERING ASSOCIATION. Mr. Samuel Bowman, Secretary of the Mu- tual Benefit Savings’ Fund, Building & Loan Association, says the stock inthe first series of that institution has all been taken and Series No. 2, which ls now being organized, will hold an election of officers about the middle of next month.

This company has a paid up capital stock of ,000 and the object of it is to develop resi. ence property on the line of the Wabash Railway, in St. Louis County. MISCELLANEOUS BALES. Mr. H, W.

LA AMONG THE BROKERS. ADull Market—Stocks Sold and Prices Ob- tained To- Day. Trading this morning was light, and no par- ticular changes in quotations were made. There wassome curiosity expressed as to the action to be taken in reference to the Eliza- beth, nee West Granite. Some were in favor of listing the stock at once, while others were of the opinion that an application would have to be made, and the information required under the rules of the Mining Exchange furnished. n * 0 * last night received a letter udd giving the result of assays made at the mine. one case an assay was made, showing 160 ounces of silver. The sec- ond assay showed 77 ounces of silver, the third 77 ounces and the fourth 46 ounces. There are said to be a dozen car-loads of good shipping ore in sight. There is a probabilitg that the Neath, which was sold last week for $1,800, will be reorgan- ized by the purchasers. 2 *~e The following telegrams were received by Gaylord & Blessing this morning over their private wire: New York, 9a. m.—There was a story in the board when the market closed, that some of the trusts had agreed to hold up money rates until after January 1, but this tale was not be- lieved, and Josh Davis said he was borrowing funds freely from most of the trust companies at reasonable rates. There were a number of leading Wall Street people at the Windsor last evening. It was generally agreed that the stock market closed up fairly firm, what there was of it,and as the money market cannot be jiggered to-day the prives would probably be ashaae higher. Mr. Jones said that while he continued to feel bearish he would not sell on so narrow and dull a market short. Cammack has not been to the Windsor fora night or two, and it is reported that he is only shortof the coal stocks. 10 a. m.—Banks lost to interior, $2,489,000; gained from Treasury, $1,300,000; met loss $1,189,000.

The suit was fora large section of land on Olive street and 3 avenue, and was hotiy contested. The trial involved the tracing of title back to the time the United States acquired possession of the Louisiana territory.

He Says He Never Claimed That He En- gimeered the Defeat of the Meat In- Non Bill—Mr. Deering Says He Did and Appeals to Senator Kelly, Who Says the Talk Was Confidential. „ Ex- Representative T. J. Olohesy has got himself into trouble talking about the m inspection bill and how he beat it in the State Senate. Since his return to Kansas City he has denied the interview with him published in the SuN- DAY Post-DiIsPaTcH of December 22, and also the story then printed as the one told by him on a Missouri Pacifictrain the previous Thurs- day night concerning the defeat of the meat inspection bill by the Senate at the last ses- sion of the Legislature, when he worked the wires and pulled of““ two Senators by United States Senator Cockrell’s influence. Mr. Clohesy was interviewed by the Kansas Oity Star, which prints the following as bis statement: Mr. Olohesy was found at his office this morning and questioned about the printed statements. He said he never made the state- ments attributed to him nor did he ever in- timate any such things. In a private con- versation with some gentlemen in the parior car, he said, the meat — — bill was dis- cussed and some one, Ben Deering, he thinks, rverted the conversation and told it toa O8T- DISPATCH man. „Anyway, said Mr. Clohesy, ‘‘I was run down by PostT-DISPATCH reporters. They tried very bard to get me to talk on the sub- ject, but I avoided all the conversation I could. The questions in the reported inter- view were asked, but I did not answer as re- orted. They not only asked the questions ut ans we them. I told them the storv told them was not true, and when they tried to make me fatner it by round about questions and found I wonld not answer to suit them, one tried to bluff me with threats. I told him I was not onthe stand, and did not have to ans wer questions asked. ‘*I opposed the meat inspection bill and do not deny it. Thereported interviews with me bring the names of E. L. Martin and the Armours into the question and I dislixe that part of it more than any other. These men are gentiemen and personal friends of mine and have no business to be brought into a matter of this kind. I don’t care anythin about Senator Cockrell or Vest either for tha matter. I don’t blame Cockrell for saying the interview was false. It was, for I never said what was attributed to me. ‘*Cockrell makes one funny break in his talk. Hesays: ‘Martin, Martin; I know no Martin.’ Rather a strange admission for «4 Democratic Senator to make when E. L. Mar- tin of this city was a delegate-at-! e from the Statato the National Convention in 1888. Mr. Cockrell ought to brush up a little on politics. don't want any newspaper notoriety on this subject. There is nothing new about the meat inspection bill. It was defeated and that’s all there is aboutit. Inever said what Iam reported to have sald. MR. BEN DEERING, who heard Mr. Clohesy’s conversation on the train, was seen this morning and shown Mr. Clohesy’s amended statement. **I refused to say anything for publication when this matter first came up. he said, **but since Mr. Clohesy has brought me into it and seems to desire to make an issue I will say that the statements made in the Post- DISPATCH were absolutely and accurately cor- rect, and I will make affidavit that Mr. Olo- hesy did make them in my hearing and in the hearing of others on a train the Thursday night previous to their publication. Mr. Olohesy made them voluntarily and just as they were printed. Representative 8. J. Keliy heard them. He is an honorable man, and he will confirm what I say.’’ Mr. Clohesy is very careless in this state- ment as he seems to have been in others. Senator Cockrell did not say the interview was false.“ Hesaidthe statements made by Mr. Clohesy in the story he told on the train were false, and absolutely false so far as they concerned him. Mr. Olohesy’s dental of the interview is anotber falsehood,and net wegen | there are two witnesses to a portion of it, an three to the latter part. After talking about the meat inspection bill for more than an hour to two representatives of the PosrT- DISPATCH he, of hie own motion, mentioned on the way the fact that he was now inter- ested in an enterprise with one of the Armours, the men who, above all others, were interested in the defeat of the bill in question and in whose interest he labored while a member of the Missonri Legislature. He was joined by a third witness to the con- versation and the subject of the meat ins peo- tion Dill was resumed. The questions bearing on the meat Inspection which Mr. Clohesy re- fused to answer were printed. One was the question whether he had had Senator Sheldon pulled off the bill. Other questions were omit- ted, as they did not bear on the subject under investigation. They were suggested by the references made to sudden conversions of law-makers, and related to his own sudden conversion on the telephone question, which resulted in Mr. Gurnet’s charge, made openly on the floor of the House. Mr. Clohesy, it a ars, was in a boasting mood while on board ofthe Missouri! Pacific, and made his boast as to beating the inspection bill, as printed In the SUNDAY PoOSsT-DISPATCH, in- volving Senator Cockrell in his story. WOMAN’S Mrs. Wm.

Frank having developed the fact that the death of Julius Schindler was caused, not by alcoholism, but by a compression of the brain due to external violence, Coroner Frank decided to reopen the inquest, and accordingly examined four more witnesses in his office atthe Four Courts this morning. Schindler, it will be remembered, was the unfortunate pretzel vender whose mysterious death ina cell at the Soulard Street Station on Thursday night was reported in full in last evening’s POsT-DISPATCH. The deceased had in his short life of 27 years been a very bard drinker and it was but natural to suppose that death was due to excessive use of stimulants. It was noticed that his face and head were badly bruised, how- ever, and a post mortem examination was held with the above result. Officers Schmidt and Nugent of the Second District, who madethe arrest, swore positively that — had used no violence. They said they noticed the swolien and bloody condition of Schindler’s face when they picked him up, yet were used to seeing him in such a state and thought nothing of it, Henry Schubkegel, the saloonkeeper in whose place of business on South Broadway the deceased had last been seen before the arrest, swore that he had seen the man fall forward on his face from a chair while in an intoxicated condition. In this way he ac- counted for the bruises on Schindler’s face. The police officers, however, had said at the examination that the hangers-on at Schub- kegel's place were in the habit of making sport of the deceased, blacking his face with burnt cork and using him as an all-round buffoon. But the witnesses examined to-day corrob- orated Schubkegel’s testimony. Five young men, George Becker, Charles Schill, Louis Albright, Charles Liebig and Frank J. Koenig, swore that they were in Schubkegel’s saloon at the time he fell from the chair. They said he was all right before he fell but noticed blood flowing from his mouth and nose when they picked him up. A verdict in acoo ce with the above facts was rendered. MRS.

Constable Hyde recently made a levy on the saloon of Gus Reinhardt at the corner of Fit- teenth street ana Carr. The constable attached the property in the bar-room, and going toa room back of this levied on everything in it also. In this back room was Aaron Block, a veteran lot man, two or three.other men and a littie girl. Hyde read his attachment, but Block protested and said that he rented the room and the property in it was his. „Can't help t, said Hyde suavely, ‘‘I’ve ; deen playin lottery all my life and never 1 , a prize, but I'll det I've gota prize here, for this is the whole lay-out.’’ smile at this sally and wing of the St. uls - Block gave a sick! rotested that the ttery was to come off that afternoon, and if | his goods were taken away the drawing would | have to be postponed. e said the little girl was just going to start out with a list of the numbers drawing prises to give them to the customers. f ' „Just come over to Justice Spaulding’s court, and if this 1 is yours, you dan have A back. sald : yde. ‘‘I don’t want any of your property.’ Block went 1 Spaulding’s court where he filed a claim for his property, con- sisting of the list of the drawing, the num- bers drawing prizes, and the general lay-out. He made affidavit thatthis property was bis and was permitted to take it away. The drawing then came off as per programme. It the police want some evidence, said Hyde, ‘‘We have got Block’s affidavit that the lottery property belonged to him. I guess that’s good enoug evidence for any person.

C : HAS ALL THE NEWS CLERGYMEN’S SALARIES. Ministers Poorly Paid, in Comparison. With Other Professional Men. No man who adopts a ministerial career can be justly charged with mercenary motives, for in no other profession is the monetery re- ward sosmall. There are, to be gure, afew instances of preacners who are paid large salaries for their seryices, but the rank anti file of the clergy receive hardly enough to maintain themselves respectably, writes John P. Ritter in Frank Leslie’s Weekly. The average salary paid to ministers in Protestant churches is less than $1,000 per annum. Prominent lawyers like Joseph H. Choate, Robert J. Ingersoll and Benjamin F. Butler make all the way from $75,000 to $125,000 each year. Among physicians, Dr. Loomis earns from $650,000 to $60,000; Dr. Polk from Dr. Sayre about $60,000, annually. Compared to the salaries paid the managers of large financial institutions the reward of the greatest — . in the land seems altry. Theh 880 salary paid a olergyman n New York is $20,000, and Dr. John Hail ils the fortunate individul. There are, perhaps, a half-dozen other preachers who get m $10,000 to $15,000, but it should be remembered that they represent the wealthiest parishes in the — ＋ and that they assume as much re- sponsibility as that devolving upon the heads of great moneyed insgitutions. This will be apparent when we regard the churches under their direction from a purely financial stand- point. Trinity Jhurch corporation owns millions upon millions in real estate. Its annual income is nearly $800,000. The bulk of this vast sum is paid out in church work each year, and Dr. Morgan Dix, the rector, presides over its distribution. Dr. Hall’s church has a plant—if this term may be allowed—valued at $2,000, The in- come from pew rents and oontributions amounts to nearly $250,000 per annum. Most of this is spent in missionary work. Last year the congregational expenses, inciuding the pastor’s salary, the music and all incidental items, footed up $35,681. The balance of over $200,000 was applied to domestic and foreign missions, the relieffund of the terian Church and to miscellaneous chari In view ofthis remarkable showing, it cannot be doubted that Dr. Hall earns bis salary. Grace Church hasan endownment of $250,- 000. Its pooper? is worth close to 2, 000, 000, and ite annual income from pew rents and contributions avérages $100,000. The pro of Ascensiun Church, Fifth avenue and t street, represents an investment of $850,000. Its revenue is about $50,000 each year. St. Thomas’ Church and Pee guages is valued at $750,000. Its ews alone rent for $50,000 each year, and the contributions amount to from $30,000 to $40,000 more. St. George's Church is supported entirely b voluntary contributions. All the pews are free.

Four Theusand Tons Per Year the Preduct of a Single Mine. From the Youth’s Companion. In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sudbury, Canada, it is said more nickel is being pro- duced than the entire market of the world calls for at current prices. A little braneh railway off the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, four miles in length, leads out to the mine, which opens into the face ot a crag of the brown, oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic of this region. The miners are now at work at a depth of about 300 feet below the surface. As fast as the nickel and copper- bearing rook is hoisted out it is broken up and piled upon long beds or ricks of pine wood to be calcined or roasted, for the pur- pose of driving out the sulphur which it oon · The roasting : is of the nature n dross 1 mass is first allowed afterward th | put whieh siebie ab aggregate of 4,0 ean at nickel a year 5 1 . „2 „ „ „ „6 * * „„ „„ . . “eee © eeee8 nr Star wheel, fitted with two-way silent ratchet, I. front wheel 30 d., rear fall — all round, spade to 54 in... eee ban heh tek decked bearings to both wheels, crescent steel rims, hollow backbone, to both wheels and crank axle, $80.40: 24-inch plain — — 2 $65.00 117.00 101.25 60.75 50.65 30.40 sere #008 crescent rims, ram’s- wheel 32 in. n 8 handles, crescent steel rims, hollow AN ELECTRIC CIGAR LIGHTER.

SECRET POLITICAL CLUBS. Referring to the discovery of a secret society of Democratic politicians in Chi- cago the Herald of that city remarks that it proves that the citizens’ movement did not come a day too soon. There can ‘fbe no excuse for the existence of a se- ‘‘cret political organization of any sort in „this country; but when such a society assumes to actin the name of Democ- ‘*racy it becomes something worse than a ‘*‘blunder and akin to a crime. Democ- *-racy is opposed to all such devices. De- ‘*mocracy thrives as they languish. De- ‘‘mocracy cannot exist where they flour- ‘tigh.?? : The Democracy of Chicago is evidently just passing through the bitter experience which nearly wrecked the Democracy of St. Louis. There is but one aim of poli- ticians and, therefore, a secret society of politicians can have only one object and that is the grabbing of all the spoils which can be grabbed. It is invariably a combine formed for the purpose of securing the offives. The history of the Hendricks Association is a fair illustra- tion of all organizations of a similar na- ture. It was a club of office-holders and office-seekers, the members being bound by oaths of secrecy and allegiance to each other in the common interest of securing public pap. It was one of the elements which contributed in large measure to the defeat of Democracy here, So the Stranglers“ of Cincinnati nearly stran- gled the Republican party there. But in addition to saying that Democ- racy, orin fact any American political party, languishes under such conditions and thrives when they are absent, the Herald might have added that these political combines thrive only in secrecy. Publicity is death tothem. They cannot operate successfully except when the people are ignorant of their real purposes. The Hendricks Association became an impossibility as a spoils club when the PosT-DISPATCH exposed its membership, aims, methods and the grip it had upon the offices, The Stranglers of Cincinnati were defeated by exposure. The Chicago Herald has the means of remoying the ob- struction to Democratic success which it has discovered. Exposeit thoroughly and the Democratic voters will do the rest. This is one of the high missions of the in- dependent press. me — THE “ AH CHOO” EPIDEMIC. The Russian influenza which has swept Europe and is swooping down on America severely puzzles the medical scientists. They are searching earnestly among dis- ease germs, bacilliand atmospheric con- ditions for the cause of it. Of course no one can doubt that there is such a disease. The cable has described its effects on certain distinguished person- ages. A New York WoRLD reporter who was sent out to investigate it, like a good journalist caught it and brought back the evidence of its existence in his own irre- sistible tendency to sneeze. But why look among bacilli and such things for the cause of the affection? Is it not possible that it is not a disease in itself, but an affection of the nose and head which is in part sympathetic, aris- ing from the influence of the mind on the body and in part chronic, induced by an habitual derangement of the sneezing muscles? In other words, may it not be the physical manifestation of an intellec- tual fad,“ the logical consequence of the rage for Russian literature? It is well known that many Russian words and nearly all Russian names are in pronunciation the combination of several sneezes anda cough. The differ- ences in the words are denoted by the number of sneezes. So those persons who are addicted tothe Russian “cult,” having their minds constantly in a sneez- ing condition and their nasal organs con- stantly deranged by an attempt to sneeze, finally fall into a physical state of in- fluenza, Their heads also have a large, stuffed feeling, as in case of severe cold. Thus the Russian influenza is probably due entirely to the influence of TOLSTOI, DOSTIESKI, GOGOL, VERESTCHAGIN, KRa- POTKIN and GEORGE KENNAN’S articles about Siberian exile on the nervous sys- tem and the sneezing muscles. Perhaps nature is having her revenge and is play- ing a satirical game on the Russo-maniacs who delight to ‘tah choo’’ as a pastime by making them ‘‘ah choo” in earnest and turning their Russian jabber into sneez- ing spasms. a — * FAST MAIL FOR THE WEST. A rumor that the postal department thinks of putting on a fast mail train for the Southwest to connect at Kansas City with the fast train which reaches that city from St. Louis at 11 a. m., evokes a protest from the Kansas City Journal, which says: Now, that is just what Kansas Olty doesn’t want and won't tolerate—to have St. Louis merchants put on a par in the matter ot cor- respondence with Kansas Ojty merchants in Kansas City’s territory. The fast mall train which this city wants is one leaving early in the morning, iong before the arrival of the Eastern mail. The Postmaster-General is 6 business man, and he can appreciate Kansas City’s position. To hold Kansas City’s mall until the arrival of the mali from her com- mercial rival is gross injustice. The fast mail train from St. Louis con- nects with the fast mail from the East, It is run to expedite the through meil for the benefit of the country at large. But Kansas City demands that the through connection shall be broken for her benefit, and wrong in principle. run for the exclusive benefit of one city. The Kansas City idea of forcing all rail- roads to break bulk and transfer freights there for her benefit is a village idea, and the postal department will hardly apply it to the mail service and force the whole Southern country to wait ten or twelve hours for its Eastern mail in order that one town may enjoy the imaginary ben- fit of sending out its mails that much ahead, In the hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee concerning the ef- fect of the coal and ore tariffs on iron and steel manufactures an important fact which in itself is the strongest argument that can be urged against protection was brought out. Mr. GeorGe TOBRY, repre- senting the iron and steel manufacturers of Massachusetts, favored the free im- portation of iron ore and coal, because he declared that the duty which is enriching the ore men of Pennsylvania is killing the manufacturers of New England and the Atlantic Coast. The chief point which inheres in the fact is the discrimination which injures one section or group of citizens to benefit another section or group of men. This is unconstitutional It is a wrong which is a necessary accompaniment ofa protective tariff. — — — + UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHAMBERS at Indianapolis not only sup- pressed the warrant sworn out against DUDLEY when he recently ventured to visit that city after a long absence, but he had himself interviewed and pro- nounced DupDLEY’s ‘‘blocks-of-five’’ let- ter an ‘‘honorable” and ‘‘patriotic’’ production.

This confession of the need of wholesale removals of the kind mentioned reveals a wretched condition of police affairs in the Windy City, but it is not much worse than here in St. Louis where a police board re- fuses to prosecute lottery rascals and the Court of Criminal Correction makes farces of their trials. — . — — — VICE-PRESIDENT MoRTON will doubtless indorse heartily .

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Out of the possibility of effectively using money to control votes, and the practice of measuring fitness for office by party ser- vice“ rendered, has grown the power ofthe millionaire in American politics, and to these facts is due the remarkable demonstration of wealth inthe high places of public life within recent years. In the extraordinary exploita- tion of the resources of anew country, for- tune has distributed its favors with most un- equal hand, andthe modern millionaire, sud- denls possessed of a power with which the ef- fort has been in no degree commensurate, finds himself in the position of AN Zander of Macedon, sighing for more worlds to conquer, with sharpened appetite for aequlrement and more restless energy than ever. He naturally turns to politics rather than charity, for charity vaunteth not itsalf and isnot puffed up, and the satisfaction of the tastes ac- quired by our ordinary speculative rich man, is not to be found in that quarter. And so from nearly every section ofthe Union the railroad and mining and trading millionaire has bought his way into political prominence, until it has come to be said that a seat in the United States Senate, or a place in the Cab- inet of tne President, is a purchasable com- modity.

Faithfully yours, J. R. LOWELL. Un-American. From the New York WORLD. In its attitude of hostility to the republican movement in Brazil, the Administration has the cordial support of all the would-be aris- tocrats in the country, ali the Plutocrats who desire money and not majorities to rule, all the holaers of imperial bonds—most of them Englishmen—and all the greedy and unseru- pulous speculators who have grown rich by practicing the arte of the hawk and the vul- ture in South American trade. These classes wish Ii to the new Republic, and their news- paper representatives reflect their temper. All generous, liberty-loving Americans who believe in the equal rights of men and the righteousnens of popular self-government are filjed with indignation and shame at the un- American attitude of the Administration, which directly contredicts all American pree- edents and affronts American manhood.

Farmer Proctor, who is occassionally heard from on the subject of weather to come, said it did not much matter what the weather of December or January might be as the world would bea heap of uninhabited slag about December 1. Irl R. Hicks on November 18 looked for heavy falls of rain and snow from that time until after the solstice in June of 1800.

The year of 1859 though it lacked any phenominally cold days was 504 degrees cold- er than it should have been. The cold days exceeded the hot days to that extent, and if the year was to get near the average of years December must be a warm month. And the month was dutiful! warm. Anxious to please it rather overdid tne thing, for after the deficit was made up, the month continued to pile up heat until now it seems the year must end indebted to the cold ae- count 240 degrees. , Had December adhered to the programme laid down by the eleven months before it, and discounted it normal temperature, the year 1889 would have gone into the record as the coldest of a long series of years. This will seem strange to the reader who forgets the cold of last spring and the mildness of last summer. But December was bent on doing the peculiar. THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE of the month is 34deg. That is the average ofmany Decembers. The mean temperature of this month will be between 51 deg, and 32 deg. it a blizzard does not happen in about Monday. The normal has thus far been ex- coeded tA the mean ofthe month between 17 deg. and 15 deg., and so it will go upon the record as the warmest December ever known in St. Louis. Heretofore the December bear- ing that distinction was that of 1877 when the normal was exceeded by the mean for the month 13.7 deg.

He secured a standing with the commercial agencies whose reports enabled him te obtain credit all over the country. The shoes obtained, they were the means through which it was possible for him to dispose of them quickly without detection. We will make a Minne- apolis firm defendant in the suits already brought, as we have made certain local houses, and it, as the local houses, will aiso be a party to suits yetto be brought.

Besides the asgets found in Chicago are sit or seven hundred cases of shoes in the Hiram Sibiey warehouse on the North Side, which are claimed on warehouse receipts by H. R.

The letter says lighting will not be commenced on January 1, but it does not say how soon after it will be commenced. It con- cluded with the statement that be sincerely trusts arrangements can be made for TEMPORARY LIGHTING WITH GAS.

He says that Grass and Gall have been traitors to the Indians, and they sold out their people in the conference which resulted in the ceding of their lands, which will soon be open to settlement. In an interview since the departure of the Indian delegation for the East he said: ay have always been a friend to my Pe people have not been like Grass and Gall, who sold them out. I am no good with white men, 331 the time will come when the Indlad wil realize that I am right,’’ The last straw that broke the back of w little consideration Agent McLaughlin had — Bull was his attempt to stampede Indians away from the conference just as they were about to sign the treaty.

The Fund for Its Maintenance Cannot Be Diminished. The disagreement between the Mayor and the other members of the Board of Trustees of the Shaw fund has led to some little dissen- tion as to the amount of money spent annu- ally by the Cityon Tower Grove Park. Park Department has always held that tne sum appropriated was too large, that the otner parks did not receive anything like their due proportion, and that if the oiti- zens were to be considered the beneficiaries their interests would be best : 229 te Tower Grove Park, the 7 nccepted tr — Wn, ¢: Marshal, Ot | 4 mit tees will f 57 meet to consid- 3 er the best plan of making nominations. In all probability both committees will decide to make nomi- nations themselves in order to save the ex- pense and trouble of primaries. There 18 6 likelihood that neither of the gentiemen who ran for the office at the regular ¢elec- tion will be party nominees at the special election rendered necessary by Mr. EmUe Thomas’ ineligibility. Mr. Nelser certainly will not, and there is a good deal of among the Repablicans of putting up JohniWalkenhorst, who was an aspirant in the Republican Oonvention, and quite formidable. One of the arguments being ad- vanced by Walkenhorst’s friends is that there is a question even now whether in the event of his election Mr. Thomas would be able to’ qualify. The fact that he was not ableto qualify, and consequently kept a number of Republicans out of office,is being used against him too, and the indications are thatif he should receive the committee’s indorsement it will not be without considerable difficulty. Mr. Neiser, the present incumbent of the office, Will not make any effort to secure a renomina- tion. He expects to continue in office no mat ter who is elected. The names being men- tloned in Democratic circles as possible nome inees are those of Anthony C. Stuever, Henry Thien, John R. Slevin and Tom Barrett. Anthony Stuever is a clerk in Schilling & Schneider’s brewery, and is a member of the City Central Committee. He is quite a young man but is said to be very popular on the South Side. Henry Thien is a superintendent in the Street Department and was formerly 2 member 1 the Central Committee. John at rig Clty 2 AFRAID OF A FIGHT. While there is no scarcity of men who would like to run for the office, there is no enthusl- asm in the candidacy ot any of the aspirants. This is due to the impression which prevaiis that no matter who is elected, his assumption of the office will be attended with consider- able difficulty, and there is a possibili that he to fill it at all. this im Neiser’ Mr. Marsball: has given. out the report that no matter who is elected at the special election Mr. — 5 will still hold on.

How One Cigar Celebrated the Birth of Two Babies. The officers at the Four Courts are having a good laugh at the expense of a couple of their comrades. The joke involyes a curious coin- cidence, Detectives Harry Frese and Louie Ziegler are ‘‘paired’’ together for Central District Hy work. They have been partners for years and have done good service to the de- partment. Thursday morning Frese entered the Four Courts with a self-satisfied smile on his face. Almost the first man he met in the hall was his partner. Drawing a 1. ar from his pocket Frese coolly handed it to Z — coed with the re- mark, ‘‘Well, it’s a girl, Ziegler with a „ 3 hand- ed back the weed. Same here, he said, and the two went over to Billy Henseick’s arm in arm. It was true. On Christmas afternoon at al- most the same hour Mrs. Frese and Mrs. Ziegler presented their respective husbands with baby girls. Neither man knew of the ad- vent of the other’s infant until they met in the Four Courts as above told. They now make one cigar do for both babies. BOYS’ SUITS FOR $5.00.

A large and appreciative audience gathered at Music Hall in the Exposition Building last evening to hear the Christmas performance of Handel’s ‘‘Messiah’’ by the St. Louis Choral Society. The efforts of the society received great praise. The work of both the chorus and the orchestra was uniformly good,and the chorus carried off the honors of the evening. Mr. Whitney Mockbridge, the tenor, bas a pleasing voice, but he seemed uncertain in his singing. The impression he gave was that his voice is not thoroughly adapted to oratorio. Miss Adelaide Kalkman, the soprano, was credited with a sweet and well cultivated voice. Mrs. Oscar H. Bollmapn, the contralto, and Mr. Ed Dierkes, the basso, were very sat- isfactory. Altogether, both the audience and the Choral Society had much reason to de satisfied with the evening’s entertainment. LESBIA has a beaming eye, Flap Jack Floar makes her spry. North St. Louis. O. C.

THE NEW BLACK WONDER GEORGE DIXON, THE COLORED FEATHER- WEIGHT, ANNIHILATES HORN BACKER. It Required Less Than Two Rounds to Knock Out the New Yorker—The Negro to Fight Champien Cal MoCarthy—Re- sult ofthe Racing at Clifton—Base Ball and Sporting News. NOTHER Peter Jackson has now been dis- covered. This time it is an American ne- gro. The new man is George Dixon of Bos- ton. He is a feather- weight, buat promises to become just as famous in his Class as the eL- . Ony Australian giant has among the heavyweights. Dixon is a recent discovery. He came into prominence afew weeks ago by whipping Hugh Brennan in hollow style. Dave Blanchard, the Bos- ton millionaire who backed Jem Oarney against Jack McAuliffe and who was the man behind George La Blanche, the Marine, at the outset of the latter’s career, was so favorably impressed with the little negro’s style of immediately wrote Joe Early, the backer of Cal McCarthy, to make a match be- tween the 116-pound champion and Dixon. Early, however aid not think the colored youth had sufficient reputation to warrant him in matching McCarthy against him. He was willing, however, to match Eugene Hornbacker against Dixon, and agreed that in case the negro won he should be given a chance at McCarthy. The match between Hornbacker and Dixon was made about a week ago. It was for $250 a side and a purse of $500, the men to weigh 116 pounds each. As Hornbacker was unwilling to fight in Boston, and Dixon would not fight in New York, Connecticut was selected as neutral ground for the . battle. Both men were in excellent condition and while it was given out that the fight would not occur until the middle of next month, it was set for last night, the men needing little time for train- ing. It came off last night near New London, Conn. Dixon forced the fighting from the jump. He drove Hornbacker all over the ring and scored four clean knock-downs in the first round. The negro hit with terrible force for a man of his weight, and Hornbacker showed plainly hia severe punishment. He was very groggy when the round was ended and the rest of one minute before the opening ofthe second round did not re- vive him much. He was stupid when he came up tothe scratch. Although he made an attempt to rally and force the fighting he was powerless to do anything, and after — — bim about the ring for a minute ixon landed a stinging right-hander on his left cheek which knoched him out. The entire fight, including the intermission be- tween the rounds, lasted only five minutes. About one hundred and fifty men paid $10 each to witness the set-to and the Boston contingent, who backed the negro, won heavily from the New Yorkers who had their money on Hornbacker. A well- known New York sporting man was referee. That Dixon is a foeman in every way worthy to meet champion Cal MoCarthz there can be no doubt. In fact, this battle of last night would indicate bim to be much the better man of the two. Hornbacker stood before Mc- Carthy for twenty-two hard-fought rounds and administered considerable punish- ment to the champion before he was finally conquered. The little New Jersey man is a great general in the ring, however, and Dixon will never be able to make the spectacle of him he did of Hornbacker last night even should the negro win the battle which is now certain to occur between them. McCarthy will probably let Dixon wind him- self before he starts to do any fighting. It is more than likely that the white man will be the favorite in the betting despite Dixon’s easy victory over Hornbacker. An Accident to Spokane. From the Courier-Journal, A great deal of anxiety was felt for several days at Churchill Downs during the week, and it was all caused by an accident to Spokane, which might have resuited disastrously. For several weeks the Montana horses have been in their winter quarters at the track in the saine stable they had last spring. Spokane is an object of much care and attention on the part of trainer, grooms and stable boys alike, and it hardly seems possible for the horse to get out of the stall, but he did. Last Tuesday he broke his halter, slipped out and tried his speed around the shed. He stepped on a lini- ment bottle and his off front foot was badly cut. The wound festered, the horse was rest- less, and it was thought blood poisoning would set in and permanently injure the horse. This danger was averted, however, and Spokane is improving 80 rapidly that his people expect to have him right again ina few days. Clifton Races. CurrTon, N.

American players have heard little of Eugene Carter, the expert billiardist, since he left for France last spring, but he has done some brilliant playing in Paris. An interview, published by a New York paper, will be of in- terest: „J oan’tdo myself justice here, he ex- 8 „the atmosphere is so bad that both alls and cushions get out of order quickly, so that fine playing is almost out of the ques- tion. I feel as if [were using sledge-ham- mers half the time. Beside that, I have the most dreadful ‘off’ days. It’s reasonable enough, for if the air has an effect on ivory thata player can distinguish, why shouldn't it affect the player himselt? That I might pass without complaint if it were not for the fact that my Bigg, Fete: here is not teaching me anything. cannot improve under such con- ditions, and, beside, one of the chief induce- ments under which I came here was that I should have the privilege of playing with Vignaux. I beat him at cushion carroms sev- eral times, and then he went off into the country to stay rather than take any more de- feats. The other players, while magnificent billiard ists, are, exeessively jealous and hard to get on with. Sporting Notes.

THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. President Leighton’s Report on the Finane cial Condition of the Institution. George 8. Leighton, the President of the Board of Directors of the Washington Uni- versity, has submitted his annual report of the conaition of the inatitution, and it is a re- port that will not be read with pleasure by the people of St. Louis or the West. Mr. Leignton states the cuse very plainly, and says that for several years there has been a deficit in the income of the University, and for the oor of 1889-90 it will amount to estimated. The University has strug tied against a steadily increasing debt, and by the personal efforts of the members of the board, largely by their own generosity, the endowment was increased $240,000, and the deficit has been reduced nearly $26,000 in four years, still it amounts to more than $11,000 and provision must be made for it or some portion of the work must be dropped. The present indebtedness, about $125,000, can be provided for from sale of unimproved prop- erty and resources pee subject toany special trust or use. Mr. hton says: „ have brought nc s subject to your atten- tion thus particularly because, in my judg- ment, it cannot be, and ought not to be evaded, ignored or postponed, nor even un- satisfactorily met. It should be met fairly, and however humiliating to us and to this city it may to abandon the advanced position which . Louis now occupies in educational affairs, there should be no flinching from the rom , unless that position can be maintained er conditions allke honorable to the com- munity, and to us, as directors and trustees of the funds committed to our care. In communities of this character we are continually encountering a feeling difficult to overcome, thatour educational institution is represented by ite buildings, and that they are the institution. Hence, whilst it is not difficult to secure funds to be invested in bricks and stone, which present a tangible form to the public, the real institution, which needs buildings only as a shelter from the elements, finds it difficuit to secure the per- manent endowment, throgh which alone an adequate income for efficient work can be maintained.’’ FIRST-CLASS pictures make the teat, ttrauss’s photos are the pest. HUNTINGTION’S NEW HOUSE. The Costly Structure to Be Erected on Fifth Avenue, New York. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTCcH. New York, Dec. 28.—Drawings were filed at the Building Bureau vesterday for a five-story residence for Collis P. Huntington, the rail- road magnate. The building will be a granite Plle of irregular shape, with large windows surmounted by heavily carved stone. Orna- mented chimneys will be a prominent feature oftheroof. The house is to stand on the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty- seventh street. It will have a frontage of sixty-two feet on the avenue, a depth of 162 feet on the street and will be eighty-eight feet in height. The grand entrance or ‘‘central porch,’’ as the plans modestly express it, will be in the middle of the Fifty-seventh street face. The eight floors of the house will include the foundation floor, the cellar floor, basement floor (containing the drive- way) and first to fifth floors. On tbe fourth floor is a drying-roof and on the fifith are the servants’ quarters, consisting of nearly a dozen apart- ments. The house wili have brick founda- tions and brick and tile roofs, and its archi- tectural effects will be heightened by a large oval topped conservatory jutting out from the rear end of the house, and also by a large octagon shaped tower on the avenue, running up from the basement. Ou the main floor this portion will contain the dining-room. Nearly abreast of the grand entrance will be a spiral staircase 28 feet in diameter through the principal floors of the house. The steps are each 8 feet long, very wide, and the raise from one step to another very easy. The rooms of the house. will be fitted and furnished in regal style. Many of them will be very large, and their decorations will be novel, and of course expensive. My heart’s in the Highlands, you know why, That's where the Flap Jack ‘‘griddies’’ fry. THE LOWELL MYSTERY. An Explanation of the Cause of Miss Nichols’ Disappearance. By Telegraph to the PosT-LIsPpatcH. LOWELL, Mass., Dec. 28.—The cause of the disappearance and probable suicide of Miss Sarah C. Nichols of this city is found in a dis- patch published on Christmas morning from Walpole, stating that Miss Sarah C. Nickerson of Lynn had been victimized by a sharper from California. The man’s name was Chas. Metcalf, and it was alleged that, becoming acquainted with Miss Nickerson while she was at Lynn, he Induced her to intrust to him $1,000to invest in stocks. The investment failed to turn out as represented—was a swindle in fact. Mies Nickerson,’’ it has 23 learned, was Mies Nichols, the missing acy The key to the affair lies in a fact not here- tofore published, in consideration of the feelings of the relatives. Miss Nichols, about a year ago, became engaged to be married to Metcalf. Herfriends remonstrated. He was over 50 years of age, and little that was good was known of him. The influence which was brought to bear caused a rupture of the on- gagement. Miss Nichols was possessed of ample property in her own right and would not feel the loss of the money. It was the dis- appointment ensuing upon the man’s decep- tion and a reggae that led to her disa))- pearance. brooded over her love affair and . * that ner friends shunned her on account of it.

Some of the Questions That Will Be Brought Forward at the Gathering—How a Mem- ber Tried to send Himself to Washing- ton—The Campaign at the Capitai— Financial Affairs. OR many weeks there has been no meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the World's Fair, and the an- nouncement that one is to be held this even- ing will probably call out every member of the committee now in „ the olty. Business of great importance will be transacted, as plans for the proper presentation of the claims of this city be- fore the Senate and House of Representa- tives have to be determined upon, the financial situation is to be considered, the report of the Committee on Site and Bullding will de pre- sented to the full committee, and various other affairs of moment will be given atten- tion. A SELF-APPOINTED EEBPRESENTATIVE. There is likely to be quite a contest concern- ing the representatives who are to be sent to represent the cause of this city before the Senate Committee. This committee will meet on January 8, and the Chairman has notified the delegations from each of the cities desir- ing to secure the World's Fair that two repre- sentatives from each will be admitted to the meetings and will be allowed to state their case and to answer any objections that might be made by opponents. John B. Clark, ex- Cierk of the House & Representatives, sent a telegram last week asking that the Washing- ton Committee be informed as to the com- position of this committee. A chairman of one of the committees undertook to appoint the delegation, half of it consisting of him- self, and so telegraphed Mr. Clark. As soon as this fact became known to the members of the Executive Committee there was a strong feel - ing of indignation manifested and a dispatch was at once sent to Washington stating that the appointments were not final, but were subject tochange. An effort was made by the would-be representative to pre- vent a meeting of the Executive Committee from being heid, but the pressure was too — and it became necessary to issue the ca THE ELECTION of the committee to appear before the Senate will be brought up to-night, and promises to arouse a good deal of feeling, as the individual who appointed himself will urge that his judgment be confirmed on the ground that a contrary action would lead the public to believe that disagreements ex- ist among the members of the St. Louis Com- mittee. This objection is regarded by others as insufficient in force to prevent the appoint- ment of a competent man, and a contest is by no means unlikely. The report made last week by the Committee on Site and Buildin will be taken up, and a map is in the course o preparation showing in a graphic form the advantages of each site recommended. Copies of this will be sent to Washington and distributed from the headquarters in that city. It will be necessary to have a large del ezation at the national capital when Congress reassembles, and arrangements will be made for securing the services of a number ofthe leading merchants and capitalists to urge the claims of St. Louis. The Washiagton deiega- tion will be much stronger than it was before the recess, as the most effective work can be done shortly after the assemblage of Con- Kress. f WORK IN WASHINGTON.
