The gas bill was unconditionally vetoed last night by Mayor Noouan. Shortly after midnight, while the whistles, bells and small boys were making nicht hideous over the advent of the New Year, the outside world was informed in the following brief notice, forwarded to the newspaper offices, that the gas robbers had been folled in their atte npt to loot the City Treasury. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, MAYOR’s OFFICE, Sr. LovIs, New YEar’s Eve, 11:45 e. u., 1889. To the Press and People of St. Louis: I have just vetoed the new gas bill. Hav- lag determined to do it, I feit that it would be arelief to many of our citizens to know it New Tear's day and not keen them in sus- pense until Thursday. Respectfully, E. A. NOONAN, Mayor. That was allhe had to say aboutit. He gave no reasons for hie action and made no criticisms ofthe Lill, its manner of passing the Assembly, not of any other feature of it. He simply said he had vetoed it and that was As far as could be learned he had not consulted with any one about the measure and depended entirely upon his own judgment in the matter. It is certain, nevertheless, that he felt the public pulse by reading very carefully every article upon the subject which appeared in the newspapers.

The assets nearly equal the Iiabil ties, and creditors will receive dollar for dollar. Wanted His Furniture. In Justice Spaiding’s court to-day the case of F. W. Draper vs. John Darracott was brought up. The story connected with the case is a queer one. Abouta year ago Darracott became ac- quainted with Draper and they were soon fast friends. Darracott was a widower and he persuaded Draper to rent a house jointly with bim, Mrg. Draper to do the work in the house. Disagreements soon arose, and finally ay og got disgusted and left the house. is wife applied for a divorce but telling Draper, so it is alleged, that she had stopped proceedings against him, he did not 2 and she ‘obtained the divorce by default. Within a short time she was married to Darracott and went to keeping house, it with Draper’s furniture. did not look at this state of affairs kindly and the suit which was brought this afternoon was to recover the furniture which had been seized on bis claim by Constable Peterson and Deputy Norp. They had to crawl through a second story window to get the furniture. A Texas Failure. By Telegraph to the Post-DIt@PaTcu. GAINESVILLE, Tex., Jan. 1.—The store of L. C.

All substances that are liable to take fire spontaneously do so more readily when cov- ered up so as to confine the heat generated or when subjected to artificial heat, either from steam or hot-air flues or that of the sun, Olly rags are Hable to burn spontaneously, and are doubtiess often the cause of fires in factories, junk shops, or paper mills which are supposed to be of incendiary origin. Canvass, when painted with oil paint and rolled up or packed closely in a confined place, is pretty sure to burn. Ordinary oiled clothing, such as is worn by sallors, when piled in a heap on shelves or elsewhere, is very subject to spon- taneous ignition. Such goods should always be hung up, so as to admitof a free circula- tion of air around them. Spent tan-bark will ignite spontancousiy when stacked up in heaps. it is for this reason often used in white lead works to generate carbon dioxide by its fermenting lu the caroding beds. The moistening of such fibrous substances as cotton, hair or wool is always attended with slight heat. Wet fron filings generate heat rapidly, as does also rusting iron. Very fine fragments of iron or steel, by their rapid oxidation, will become redhot, and some English scientists deciare thatthe fires known to be caused by steam pipes constantly in vontact with wood originate from the rust of the lron. An English authority save: „When oxide of iron is placed in contact with wood excluded from the atmosphere, aud aided by a slightly increased temperature, the oxide parts with ite oxygen, and is converted into finely divided particles of metallic iron having such an affinity for oxygen that, when afterward exposed to the action of the atmos- phere from any cause, oxvgen is absorbed so rapidly that these particles become red-hot, and if in sufficient — will produce a temperature far beyond the ignitanle point of dry timber. Whenever iron pipes are employed for tbe circulation of any heated medium (whether hot water, hot air or steam), and wherever the pipes are allowed to become rusty and are also in close contact with wood, it is only nec- essary to suppose that under these circum- stances the finely divided particies of metallic ore become exposed tothe action of the at- mosphere (and this may oceur from the mere expansion or contraction ofthe pipes) in or- der to account for many ofthe fires which periodically take place at the commencement of the winter season.’’ It is difficult to get persons to believe that there isuny danger from fire arising from the contact of steam pipes with wood, not- withstanding that there have been well- attested cases of fires originating from this cause. Iron scraps of filings, or litttle chips, al- ways found on the floor of machine shops, and usually more or less oily, are liable to heat if they become rusty, and particularly so when sawduet is used, as is often the case in bolt works. Thereis an instance on record where a large machine shop was flooded by a sudden freshet, wetting the beaps of iron filings on the floor, which be- came heated immediately after the water had subsided, g WHEN IT RAINS. The world looks dark and dismal ' ben it rains. Your troubles seem abysmal hen it rains. Your friends all want to borrow And you don’t care if to-morrow Never comes to end your sorrow, When it rains.

ONE OF EMERSON’S LETTERS, Memories of Thoreau, Hawthorne, Brook Farm and Margaret Fuller Reviewed. From the New York Tribune. A hitherto unpublished letter from Ralph Waldo Emerson, written in 1843 to Obaries Stearnes Wheeler, a promising young literary man of Cambridge, at that time in Germany, isrepublished in the Transcript this evening, translated from a learned German philog ical publication, Anglia Zeitschrift fur Englische Philologie, published at Halle, the ancient university town of Prussian Saxony. Charles Stearnes Wheeler, the young man to whom the letter wus written, was first a divinity student and then a tutorin Greek at Harvard College, from 1838 to 1842. He gained no little reputation there for his learning and his lit- ery activity. He edited while there an edition of Herodotus and an edition of Tennyson's oems, besides correcting, in connection with enry 8. McKean, an edition of Carlyle’s **Miscellanies’’ with care and skill. Wheeler was one of the early contributors tothe Dial, But his hopeful career was cut short by an ar- fection of the lungs, to gain relief from which he went to Europe in 1842, carrying with bim this letter from Emerson to Carlisle: Stearnes Wheeler, the Cambridge tutor, a good German, nnd the editor, you will re- member,of your American editions,is going to London in August, pro and on to diedel. berg, etc. He means, I believe, to spend two years in Germany, and will come to see you on his way: a man whose too facile and good- natured manners do some Injustice to his virtues, to his great industry and real knowledge. He has been corresponding with your Tennyson, and editing his poems bere. Wheeler went to Berlin, and then to Leipsic, where he died on June 13, 1843, in the 25th year. of his age. The following is the letter of Em- erson which Wheeler gave to the American Consul at Leipsic, Dr. Johann Gottfried Fluge), through whom it came into the hands of Dr. Flugel’s grandson, Herr Ewald Fiugel: CONCORD, April 30, 1843. MY DEAR WHEELER—It is very late for me to begin to thank you bv letter for your abundant cares in supply of my wants; and, to point the reproach, here has come this day, as Iam putting pen to paper to send by Mr. Mann to- morrow, a pair of books from Mr. Weiss, brought frem your own hands.

Here of the country. BENJ. HARRISON, CARNOT. Paris, Deo. 381.— While in my official capacity I cannot send a message direct to you, still I may associate myself heartily with thousands of others in wishing the great American people and sister Republic all good things for the coming year. I think the sympathy be- tween the two nations shown this year isa guarantee of friendship for the future. CaRNOT. BLAINE. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 31.—Father says he hopes everything will be all right during the coming year. WALKER BLAINE. NOBLE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 81.—I hope that during the coming year all the appointments that really can be made, will be made, and that they will turn out to be the best appoint- ments that possibly could be made; and I hope that in future the comments of the news- papers will be based more upon facts and less upon imagination. Jo W. NOBLE. RUSK. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.—My hope for the new year is a comprehensive one and cov- ers the workings of this whole department. It includes an effectual eradication of diseases affecting our live stock, an efficient system of meat inspection, which will utterly expiode the sanitary plea under which foreign coun- tries obstruct our meat export trade; the es- tablishment of a dairy division, whion will help our farmers to not only supply sumption at adequately remunerative ee. but will give them a good share of the foreign trade, and in general, that my administration of the department will give the farmers cause to congratulate themselves on its bnew status. For the American farm- ers, I desire an ample diversifica- tion of crops, which will enable them to meet the entire demand for feed stuffs of our own country; better prices for their products and increasing prosperity. For the people of the entire country, a better appreciation of the inter-dependence of our rural and urban population, and a better understanding of those eternal principles of justice which make it impossible for any class or section to prosper by injustice to any other class or section without injury to the whole body politic, . J. M. RUSK. ATTORNEY-GENERAL MILLER. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. $1.—The thing I hope for morethan anything else is the en- forcement of the law throughout the country. I believe, both as to State and Federal laws, that the safety of the Gevernment and the peace of society depend on prompt and vigor- ous prosecution of all infractions of the law whatsoever. ,Jt shall be my policy and I mean to follow it out in all sections of the country. WM. H. MILLER. WANAMAKER. WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—My hopes and wishes are: First, to be able to do a full day’s work every day, and thus turn wishes into realities. Second, that my friend Mr. Pulitzer might get back his eyg@g and be able to read his own paper. T „to have fair play while the plans and experiments of the Post-office Do- partment are under way. Ten minutes or ten months is hardly sufficient to reach over all this country with a pessoas postal system. Let the new employes of the Government in every department have a fair chance to get ac- quainted with ther work. JOHN WANAMAKER. WINDOM. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.—The field isto broad for me to cover in the timeat my disposal. Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but the asury Department is one which I think may be excused from senti- mental expressions. W. WINDOM, TRACY. WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 81.—I hope that the year 1890 may witness along stride forward in the development of our navy. Whilelhopethe year will leave usas it finds us, at peace with the whole world, we should not forget that Eternal vigilance is the price ofgliberty.’’ B. F. INA. SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN. REPRESENTATIVE BYNUM, Indianapolis: 1 have no hope of any beneficial legislation this session. It is impossible for the Republican party to reduce taxation. necessary appropriation bills, try to pass a Federal election law. denounce the civil ser- vice law, without making an effort to repeal it; talk about intimidation in the South and then go home. REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Jr., Ohio: 1 hope for revenue legislation on the line of Republican ge ge which will re- duce the income of the Government to its necessities without affecting injuriously the labor and industries of the country.’’ SENATOR SHELBY M. CULLOM, Illinois: **My hope is to see the tariff revised and its incon- sistencies adjusted in conformity with the protective idea. Legislation should be had to relieve tbe great pressure on the dockets uf the United States Courts and enable the peo- le to have their cause@ tried without such nterminable delay. SPNATOR DANIEL W. VOORHEES, Indiana: ‘‘I have no hope of any valuable legislation for the country from the Fifty-frst Con- gress,’’ SENATOR JAMES Z. GEORGE, I bd | hope for nothing good at the hands of the Re- publicans. Thattheir plans may miscarry is my best hope for the new year.“ REPRESENTATIYS BENTON M' Mn, Ten- nessee: My best hope is that the heels and the hands of Federal power aw not be placed too heavily on the necks ofthe people. Rumor says there will be an effort to enact Federal election laws to govern elections in the States —Southern States, of course—with the hope of reducing and eliminating Demokratie major- ities. Any encroachmenton ou: rights will be resisted to the last extremity. CASTLE GARDEN. \ A Heavy Decrease in the Nomber of Im- migrants During 1889. \ Fy Telerrann to the Post-Disratonr. .

The Stock of a Small Coin Counterfeiter Turned Up. James Norton Vedder, after some weeks of industry in shoving queer small coin on Mar- ket street saloon- keepers, was capturned by the police and turned over to the United States officers. Secret Service Agent Shaw soon learned that the prisoner was a White Hall (III.) man who had been sent up from Springfield, III., to Joliet Peni- tentiary, and from Hannibal, Mo., to Jeffer- son City Penitentiary for the manufacture of counterfeits of silver coins—dimes, quarters and halves. Shaw secured an admission from Vedder of his identity, though he was sailin under an alias, and also learned edder’s “© headquarters. The evidence against him was so direct that in bis examination before United States Commissioner T. L Crawford, Vedder said be had no defense to make and wanted to take a plea,’’ otherwise, plead guilty and get as light a sentence as possibie. edder’s effecta lacked the molds, etc., for the maxing of bogus coin and he deciined to ive information as to where he had idden these devices. Yesterday a secret service agent seized a valise addressed to Ved- der, which has been lying unclaimed for sev- oral weeks in the hite Hall (III.) express office. In this valise all the materials for the manufacture of coin were found. Vedder is in the St. Louis Jail awaiting in- dictment ky the Grand-jury, which will shortly be called. He will then be sent to Jefferson City, from which he came less than four months ago. A PRETTY LITTLE STORY. The Mishaps and Good Luck of an M. & 0. Engineer. Special! Correspondence of the Posr-Disrarcu. MURPHYSBORO, III., Dec. 81.—On last Sun- day a wedding was postponed which came near deing a funeral. S.A. Williams, a stal- wart, fine-looking young engineer of the Mo- bile & Ohio road, was ‘running light,’ when just above Cairo his engine capsized, turn- ing wheels up inthe air, scalding bim badly and lacerating the musclesof his left arm. He was to be married the next Sunday. His afianced, like an angel of love, came and took care of him at the Commercial Hotel in Murphysboro. He has recovered suf- ficiently to come down stairs, though be can scarcely drese . himeeif. His bethrothed insists that the wedding shall not be longer delayed. Her lover’s misfor- tune only increases her devotion, and they are to be married New Year’s. A singular coincidence is that just seven years before within two hours, Williams turned over witb his engine at Alamosa, Colo., while flying down a grade of 210 ieet tothe mile. The air brake had become detached and the engine rushed down with lightning speed. He was picked up for dead, but his extraordinary constitution saved his life after a year’s suffering in the Engineers’ Hospital in Den- ver. Hehasa diploma as a wachinist from the Baldwin factory at Philadelphia, which he received with a present of a set of tools when he had served his time. After his wed- ding he will return to his trade. He says he has enough of running an engine. HE CAUGHT HIM, A Lead Pipe Thief Who Was Detected While at Work in a Cellar. Hyman Block, living at 3134 Sheridan ave- nue, had quite an exciting adventure yester- day morning. Block owns the house at the above number. It has not been occupied as a residence for some time, Block using a rear room on the second floor as a sleeping apartment and tak- ing bis meals ata restaurant. About’ o’clock a. m. he was awakened by a sound in the cellar. Rising, he listened and the noise-was repeated. Mr. Block decided to investigate. Pulling on his boots he armed himself with a heavy poker and cautiously tip-toed his way to the cellar door. He peered in and discovered the figures of two men who were busily en- gaged in cutting out a quantity of lead Pipe. With a whoop of defiance Block jumped down on the intruders and brought down bis oker with full effect hard on the head of one of is cuests. The man fell like a log and lay still. Block turned and chased after the other fellow who made his escape through the cellar door. As he turned to attend to his fallen foe the burglar recovered his senses, 8 to his feet and dashed past Mr. Block like the wind. He lett his hat, which was badly broken. Nothing was stolen. —— ; A REW YEAR'S SUGGESTION. It Is Sure to Furnish Amusement and It May Bring You Meney. This isa very remarkable New Year’s Day, entirely out of variance with the season.

John Kelly, a poor man, had been separated from bis wife, Lizzie Kelly, while he was here in the City Hospital. When he ‘recovered from his illness he found himself in a strange town. He couid not find where his wife was. He drifted West and finally walked allthe way home to St. Louis, a distance of 800 miles. He wrote a letter to Miss Hoxsey of the Order of the Daughters of the Queen of this city asking her to help him if she vould. The letter was published in the Posr-DisrATOR and led to the discovery of the whereaboute of = 3 who is now in the Female Hos - P ta al Tux highest prise for portrait photographs, a silver medal, was awarded to F.

Some Large Additions to the World’s Fair Fond That May Be Expected Shortly— The Railroads and the Banks — Real Estate Owners and Bondholders Derelict -A Appeal for Aid. NLESS all signs fail the opening of the new year will be immediately followed by a very large increase of the World’s Fair guarantee fand. The amount al- ready pledged fig- ures up consider- ably over $4,000,000, and within the next few days some of the largest subscriptions yet received are expected. The fiscal year closes with the calendar year with most corporations, and the books are balanced at that time. In not a few instances the directors have decided to make no contributions to the fund until they know just what their profits are and whet sums they will be justified in giving. Almost without exception the past year has been one of unexampled prosperity and commensurate liberality is anticipated in consequence. TWO OF THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTIONS, that from the railroads and that from the banks, are expected to be made within a few days. It has been decided by the banks to act together, and at the request of one or two of them the decision as to the amount to be i contributed was delayed until after the annual meetings. Nearly all have already voted to donate their proportion of the assessment levied, $400,000, and the others, it is confidently anticipated, will fall intoline. The calculation of propor- tion is made upon the capital stock and sur- pius, and those on which the assessment will fall most heavily have been the ones that have most readliy voted to meet it. The rail- road contribution, amounting to $1,000,000, bas been delayed, owing tosome controversy as to the proper porportion to be borne by the different roads. The passenger receipts of 1888 were taken as a basis, but in some quarters this was objected to as unfair, on the ground that certain lines owed only a part of their business to this city, and would not be benefited nearly as much as some otner lines which were assessed lower, but whose entire trade was tributary to St. Louis. This diffi- culty is in a fair way to be adjusted, and it is more than probable that the whole amount will be contributed within a few days, while at least $700,000 is regarded as assured. Besides these large additions to the fund not a fer important donations are expected from several large manufacturing establishments, who have waited until the new year, for book- keeping reasons, before making their contributions. DERELICT CAPITALISTS. An especial effort is being made to reach the capitalistic claes; that is, those who derive their incomes from rents, interest-bearing notes, stocks, bonds and mortgages. The a mount of money invested in this way in St. Louis is exceptionally large for a Western city, but heretofore this class has shown a most singular and reprehensible indifference to the contest going on for the World’s Fair. Although the Ohicago guarantee fund is less by more than $1,000,000 than that contributed by St. Louis, and al- though the proportion of wealth invested in bonds, mortgages and real estate by the citi- zens ofthat city is far less than is the case here, the Chicago capitalists have exhibited a far more liberal spirit in regard to the guar: antee fund than those of 8t. Da. From the large and very wealthy class of those who draw their income from rents and leases less than $20,000 has been received, a sum scarcely one-seventh of that contributed by the real estate agents who manage the property in question. SMALL OONTRIBUTIONS FROM WEALTHY MEN. Not one-half of 1 per cent of a month’s rent, or anything like it, has been given by the real éstate owners #nd bond and mortgage- holders of thiscity. Tne excuse cannot be made that the owners have contributed to other funds, as such is not the fact; those most heavily interested in property ‘ot the classes ‘inentioned in very few cases being en- gaged in active business. This omission to do their part seems more singular when it is considered that this class will derive far more paramount benefit than any other should the Columbus quadricentennial be located in 8t. Louis. t is estimated that from $50,000,000 to $70,000,000 would seek per- manent investment {n this city should the hundreds of thonsands of people who will be attracted by the Worid’s Fair be brought to St. Louis, and the egg benefit from the increase in the capital invested in the city would be derived by the real estate owners. A 8TRIKING CONTRAST. The mervhants and manufacturers, the value of whose property will be appreciated far less than that of the real estate owners, have manifested a * of the most commendable liberality, and one in strong contrast with that shown by the latter class. It is believed that thie state of affairs has arisen more from lack of appreciation of the necessities of the . 5 an from any penurious spirit or . oy 4 and that the neglect, if — ta « ntion of the property own- ers, will be speedily remedied. With this ob- tin view a committee, of which George D. arpard chairman, has addressed a r to goons all assessed for tribute lready those rans aes ee and public spirit. 25 Dk.

In Westphalia it is said that if the sun makes his app rance on New Year’s Day, the flax will de jraight; in Sweden, if it rises clear, under @ jank of clouds, there will be a good harvest, There jre certain ceremonies performed in many p. ices to insure good luck throughout the yen, and there are many things be done and to be avoided on New Year’s Day. Hessians say ifan apple be eaten at this time it will produce an abscess. In Roumania this is the day for the annual blessing of the waters to exorcise the demons therein. The fire must be carefully watched, the same as On Ubristmas. In England it is said that if it be allowed to go outon New Year’s Eve bad luck will come, and it is also unlucky to give anyone a live coal or a lighted candle. The Druids used to build a consecrated fire and give brands from it to everyone, and all fires were then extinguished and relighted with the sacred brands. In modern Greece the members of each household gather dried branches and cast them on the fire, wishing good luck to each one atthe sametime. The brighter the flame the better the augury. In Germany itis said if you leave the fire in on New Year’s Eve you will want — during the coming year. In North Carolina it is said that no one must borrow fire at this time, but buy it with some trifle—an interesting SURVIVAL OF FIRE WORSHIP. Millet and herring are eaten on New Year’s Day in Germany toinsure abundance during the coming year. In Coventry, England, the cattle are fed asort of triangular cake, made of flour mixed with mince-meat. In Germany asickle is laid in amangerto pre- vent witches from harming the cattle, and in KEsthonia an idol of straw is put lu the sta- ble to protectthem. Fresh flax is put on the —＋ 41 wheels, but none must be spun dur- ing the holidays. ‘Some of these notions are tranferred to Twelfth Day. In Hertfordshire, England, twelve fires are kindled, one large enough to „dur the old wizeh, and the farm lads sing and dance about them to insure a crop. A very curious ceremony is recorded as ob- served even yet in partsof Irelandon this day. Asieve full of oate is set up with a dozen lighted candles in it, and another larwerone in the center. These typify the Savior and the twelve aposties, the light of the world. Fires are then lit and the farm hands, led by the master, pledge the company in old cider and firm a circle about the fires, shouting and hallooing. After a feast at the home all repair to the stable, when the master fills a cup with strong ale, and stands opposite to the strong ox, the company doing the same with the other oxen. heir heaiths are then pledged, and a large cake put on tne horns of the best ox by means of a bole in the middie. He is then tickled to make him shake big head. If he throws the cake behind his horns, it is the master’s per- quisite; if in front, it belongs to the head herder. They then return to the house and pass the evening in singing songs. The toast drank to the oxen Is: Here is to you, champion, with thy white horn, God send our master a good crop of corn; Both wheat, rye and bariey and all sorts of grain, Lf we meet this time twelvemonth we'll smile to thee again. Then eat thy browse and I will my beer, And the good Lord send us a happy New Year. One of the most important things in begin- ning the New Year is to meet with an ausp!l- clous person the first time one goes out. In many parts of the world this first foot is care- fully attended to, and the belief that it is unlucky to meet certain persons is widespread and ancient. The Romans paid eo attention tothis augury. The Emperor aximus meta woman with disheveled hair and * habit on issuing forth on New Year’s morning and deemed it an omen of his approaching death. It is in many places thought particularily unfortunate to meet a female. The ancient Scots if tney saw a bare- footed woman cross the road ahead of them, seized her and drew biood from her forehead asacharm. Venetians think it ill-omened to meet a woman rst on New Year’s Day and a priest was as unlucky, being a messehger of death, while it was asign of proximate litiga- tion to meet a policeman. Women and red- haired men are not desirable first-comers in many 2 of England, and it is unlucky to be wished a happy New Year by sucn persons. In Lancashire, black-haired persons were formerly rewarded for making the rounds of the villages on this day, thus insuring the luck of the household, and boys are accus- tomed to turn an honest penny in Worcester- shire by going about the villages early in the morning. In Cornwallthey are given a gra- tulty for standing on the doorsteps early, and it was formerly acustom in London to have chimney sweeps make their rounds then, so ns to insure a male visitor at an early hour. It was thought more fortunate if the visitor were a batchelor, and if he brought a loaf of bread with him. Young women carefully as- certained the name of the first vieitor, for that of their future spouse would be the same. ORIGIN OF NEW YEAR'S CALLS. It is probable that these superstitious Ideas with reference to the luck of having male visitors on New Year’s Day, gave rise to the custom of visiting or calling on that day, now becoming obsolete. Holiday revels were formerly prolonged be- yond ew Years, ending only with Epipbany, or Twelfth Day (January 6). This day, commemorated as the one on which the star appeared to the wise men of the East, had a goodly share in the old revels. Prominent among these was the choice of the bean king. Oakes were then made and in one of thema bean was buried. Pieces were distributed, and hewho gotthe one containing the bean was chosen king for the night. The custom gave rise to a saying: He has found tne bean in the cake’’—that is, has drawn a prize. The origin ot this cus- tom probably dates back to Roman times, when, at the feast of the Saturnalia, children drew lots with beans to see who should be king and queen of the revels. Shakspeare’s „Twelfth Night“ probably owes its name to this ‘‘Bean King Festival,’’ although the in- cidents of the play are taken from an old Italian romance, ' New Year’s Day is not with all peoples the first day of January. This day was not universally accepted as the first of the new 2 until the sixteenth century. Some day as, however, been celebrated as the first of the year in all lands, usually with some cere- mony, such as those alluded to above, or with some religious ovpservance, generally of a festal nature. The early fathers of the church tried to make it a day of fas ting and mourning, but it was never accepted as such. The Roman New Year was lu March. The Chinese are particularly given to festivity on the day celebrated by them as the beginning of the New Year. New Year’s Kve, known as St. Sylvester’s Eve in the calendar, is obeerved with particu- lar ceremonies in many countries. In Roman Catholic churches a solemn Te Deum is sung atthe close of the vear, and ‘‘watch meet- Ings’’ now take the place of the festal cele- bration of the evening formerly prevalent in many countries. The old year was watched out and the new year greeted in Germany and Scotland in this manner, and congratulations, „Happy New Lear wishes, Prosst New Jahr and similiar ceremonies observed. Thre is a peculiar ceremony observed on some ships of ‘‘turning out the watch’’ with the strinking of 12 bells, instead of 8, at 12 o’ clock, and with a noisy and demonstrative masque- rade of the old watch, making pandemonium reign for an uneasy quarter of an hour. FIRST-CLass pictures make the test, tirauss’s photos are the best. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. Monroe Garland Fires Into a Crowd, Kill- ing Three Men. ASHEVILLE, N.

A DEMAND FROM THE FARMERS FOR DEEP- ENING THE MISSISSIPPL n Some Figures Taken From the Transporta- tion Rates—The Farmers and the Missis- sippi—What Will Be Gained by Deepen- ing the Channel Three Feet—A Move on Congress. One of the appropriations that will be most urgently advocated before Congress during the coming session will be that for the improvement of the Mississippi River. This is not only of immense importance to the citizens of St. Louis, and those ofall the States bordering upon that river, but the farmers of sections far distant from navigable waters have even more at stake and may be counted upon to sustain to the full extent of their ability an appropria.- tion far more liberal imamount than any here- tofore granted. COST OF TRANSPORTING CORN. The experience of the last few months has proved to the farmers of Kansas, Iowa., Ne- braska, Texas, lilinois, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin and Arkansas that their prosperity is toa very large extent dependent upon securing a certain and unchanging channel to the ocean via the Mississippi. Few have heretofore realized the immense cost of transportation by rail to the seaboard that has burdened the corn growers, and has done more than anything else to prevent the export trade from assuming its proper proportions. A few figures taken from the prices and rates prevaient last month will suffice to show the disad- vantages under whicn the corn-grower has been laboring, and the loss that he has suf- fered because of the insufficiency of the ap- propriations avaliabie for improving the channel of the Mississippi. When corn was selling in New York for 40 cents a bushel the railroads were charging 27 cents for hauling is to that point, leaving but 13 cents as toe price in the hands of the farmers. In other words it cost over twice as much to get the corn to market as the farmer received for it, This heavy transportation charge could have been cut down much more than Ralf had there existed au adequate waterway to the gulf, but at the very season when the corn crop comes in, there is likely to be alow stage of water. This was notably the case during the last two months of last year, and the barges were obliged to go out with from one-third to half a load. The cost of handling these partiaily loaded barges is almost as great as if they carried a full cargo, and the rates per bushel have to be placed corre- spondingly high. During a stage of low water there is frequently a depth of but five feet of water on the bars, and with this depth not more than 23,000 at most can be carried. With these conditions prevailing, is it not astonish- ing that the farmers are obliged to use their corn as fuel. THOSE WHO URGE THE IMPORTANC®H of deeping the ehannel advocate no chimeri- cal schemes, such as making the river naviga- bie for seugolng vessels, but simply wish the minimum depth inoreased toeightfeet. At certain seasons this depth is obtainable under present conditions and the sager- ness with which it is taken advantage of roves how beneficial tothe interests of the armers it would be were it possible at all seasons to send barges to the guif loaded to their full capacity, which is about 50,000 bushels. Last year there went to Europe by boat over 10,000,000 bushels of corn from this city, while but 3,000,000 were sent by rail. These figures do not fully exhibit the advantages of the river over the rail route, as the riveris generally low when the heaviest corn shipments are received and, knowing the impossibility of obtaining proper water transportation facilities, the owners do not send their corn to St. Louis, but ship it directiy East. The receipts of this city would be increased 100 per cent was there a certainty of at all times having eight feet of water. The same condition of affairs pre- vails as to wheat, but as its price per bushel is higher the freight charges are not propor- tionately as heavy. The cost of deepening the river three feet, although large, would not be as heavy as many imagine, and to grant an appropriation to do this at once, would result in a great saving to the governmen'. IN REFERENCE fo THIS MATTER, Capt. Isaac Mason, who has for zones studied the Mississippi most carefully, and is thoroughly acquainted with the subject, says that the present plecemeal manner of im- provementis exceedinuly expensive. What is done one summer ie very likely to de un- done during the following winter, and the same bars have to be passed over and over again. Were a sufficient amount appropriated to make a clean job of it, com- paratively small sums would suffice to keep the chanftel open. There are not many poluts at which a channel of 8 feet cannot be found, but there are sufficient to pre- vent traffic by boats of greater depth. The argument that by confining the river to a nar- row channel the bottom will be steadily raised and the work of dyking become yearly more expensive, which ie brought forward by the opponents of general improvement of the bed of the Mississippi, is said to be entirely base- less. MISLEADING COMPARISONS. The parallels advanced, suchas the Po in Italy, where the river bas been walled in from source to mouth, and the silt instead of being deposited over the surrounding country in times of overfiow is dropped to the bot- tom ot the stream, with the result that the river bottom is now in many places h than the roofs of the adjacent bouses, an the Yellow Riverin China, which h improved until itruns in a frequentiy dreakt Gisastrous results to ’ do not apply to ississipp!l.

All is not har- mony there and the routine of holding a cau- cus ot the entire Exchange and in a quiet, peaceable manner nominating one candidate who had been previously agreed upon, then going through the formality of electing him president, will be broken. There are two factions at work and they are not sleeping. The Germans are out in their national colors and they want to put in officers that will give the Exchange a decided German character. The other side includes all nationalities and creeds, but not many ofthe latter. The lead- ers of the German side are Charies H. Teich- mann and John W. Kaufman. The head of the other body is Isaac M. Mason, with Hugh Rogers second. The Germans have been at work on their organization for some time, and last night they held a meeting at which about fifty mem- bers were present, and nominated the follow- ing ticket: For President, Charles H. Telchman; Vice- President, John W. Kaufman; Second Vice- President, Marous Bernheimer; Board of Directors, Charles A. Cox, Philip Brockmann, Oscar W. Whitelaw, John Thyson, C. H. Albers. The candidate for President is a most prom, nent barley merchant on Change and will have the support of all the malsters and brewers. John W. Kaufman is a miller and operator. Marcus Bernheimer is a member of the gro- cery firm of 8chart & Bernheimer. Charles A. Cox of course goes on the ticket as candidate for a piace in the directory, since it is the custom to make the retiring President a director. PullipBrockmann is acommission merchant, the head ofthe firm of P. Brockman & Co, O. W. Whitelaw was chosen as the outside member, to have a representative of the ele- ment that does not do business on Change. John Thyson is in the pit. C. H. Albers is in the pit also. He is the gentleman who was suspended a short time ago for emoking out of bours. He was fined $50 for the offense, and when he refused to pay it he was suspended. He took the case into court, but was beaten there. He is op- posed to a number of the rules of the present board, It was a surprise to find Brockmann on the list of directors this ticket contains. He had laid his wires for the Presidency ,and expected to be at the head of this ticket, opposing Mason, but it is evident that Teichman’s friends brought bim around to the support of their man, and he has fallen into line rather than make a split. grain Not in the Soda-Water Trust. John McCloskey, President and Treasurer of the St. Louis Carbonating & Manufacturing Co., desires it known that his com- pany has not joined the Soda-Water Trust, which has been formed in this city to raise prices, and does not intend to. There are fourteen local manufacturers in the trust but there are a number not in it and Mr. McCloskey claims his company is one of this number. Amusement Notes.

The Vaults of Heaven Raised With Noise— Rain Clonds Christen tne Year at Its Very Birth With Tears for the Year Jus’ Gone—A Gleomy Day Fit for Reverie and the Making of Good Resolutions—Watch Night Services. RE tin horn blared and the whistle shrieked when over the crest of midnight Year Ejight- een hundred and ninety came down upon the city. The streets were alive with people at that hour, loitering men and impatient boys. Clock faces were stud- led eagerly, and at the various times those time measurers indi- cated the arrival of the new year the celebration by their constituents began. A fast clock in a mill down town was responsible forthe Inauguration of the row. The engineer opened the whistle valve at five minutes of midnight and the power of steam was turned into a high-keyed scream. For a minute this fierce note sounded with- out company, and then a lower whistie added ita note. A bell tolled dismally, as a single bell hung to swing will. The bass whistle lent its VOLUMINOUS THUNDER to the disturbance, and by that time the hands of every clock had either reached or was nigh to the critical point. Altogether a hundred whisties joined, and the chimes of many churches began to sound. On the streets the tin horns that measured from three inches to a yard in length, cracked ani roared under the press of air impelled into them by strong lunged boys. The new year had come and every iInstru- ment of noise was hard at work. Bells, whis- tles, horns and voices all worked with intense energy that in the district bounded by Grand avenue, the Mill Creek Valley, Cass avenue aod the river there could not have been ten hearing persons who slept over the time. For twenty minutes tLe row continued. Had it been the inauguration of the Hebrews’ sev- enth year the reception could not have been more enthusiasiic. Never before hada year been so uproariously received in St. Louis. The beginning of the twentieth century, when the world is ten yesre older than it is to-day, cannot be more noisily marked. Powder charges fired between anvils, the explosion of bombs, THB FIRING OF ROCKETS, burning of Roman candles added to the noise and light. The rockets rose with their streaks of fame ane tracks across the sky and fell with showers of sparks. The sky was covered with these lines of fire, and noise filled all the space between the earth and sky. Did you not hear it? Imagine every clanging church bell rung at one time, in various times, and various keys. Every whistie that rises above a boiler in which there was steam last night, trying to blow itself off the escape pipe it surmounts. Every instrument capable of producing noise worked to its full Capacity by the overflowing boy. Imagine & conflagration, an 1—— a battle and Fourth of July consolidated. There had been some rain before 12 o’ clock. It bad been falling sleepily as if it did not care much to continue the work of saturating the roysterers. At 12 there was almost no rain, but after the first intensity of the chari- vari had passed the clouds opened and poured their contents upon the just and the unjust. Those who had watched the old year out with song and prayer were soaked to the skin —by the rain. Those who had over the genial Klass bade the old year farewell submitted to alike drenching. And all that unbely band of image-breaking, horn-blowing boys had the enthusiasm washed out of them. At Centenary. At9o’clock last night the lecture room and adjoining compartments of Centenary Meth- odist Church held a crowd of more than 1,000 people, assembied to ‘‘sing the old year out and the new year ln.“ Dr. Matthews pre- sided overthe meeting. The first hour was spent in song and prayer. Then about fitty ersons were received into membership, he ceremony occupying oR minutes. Ben Deering was then called fort pastor, and asked to make an address. His remarks were appropriate to the occasion and evoked 8 such aas Amen!“ „Praise the „ etc. His theme was the march of civilization and improvement of man.

The Mayor bases the proclamation upon theaction of the principals in the last two fights. There was a great deal of scandal attending the McHale-Bowen meet- ing, McHale being found to have cloth and plaster of Paris under his gloves, and the fight between Ward and Miller Monday re- suitedinafoul. The Mayor expressed the opinion that it is impussible to have fair fights, even when given under the auspices of the most reputable citizens, and accordingly instructed the police to stop all encounters. This will necessitate the Kllrain-Vaquel in fighting coming off in a neignborinog parish. ‘‘Beatrice’’ by Rider Haggard.

AN IMPORTANT RULING, The Admission of Boys to the State Reform School. Fv Telegraph to the PORT-DISPATCH. JEFFERSON Crrr, Mo., Jan. 1.—Attorney- General Wood isin receipt of a letter from Judge Woodson, Judge of the Criminal Court of 8t. Joseph, asking for a construction of the law relating’to the admission of boys to the State Reform School. Judge Woodson held, and the Attorney-General concurs in the view, that boys can only be admitted who have been convieted of a misdemeanor or fel- ony. This decision renders void an amend- ment of the last Legislature, which undertakes to make the school a home for frendless boys, or such as are surrounded by bad associa- tions. This is a very important ruling, and it makes the institution purely penal. The Bryant & Stration Business College. The winter term will begin January 2.

Sampson, St. Cyr, Sandow and Gallagher to Give an Fxhibition at the Wes«tminster Aquarium—The Old League Only Suc- ceeds in Getting Thirty-Two Out of the 118 Players Who Belonged to It Last Year. Within the next few weeks lovers of athletic sports in this country will in all probability be treated to a novel and surprising contest. Sampson, Cyclops and Sandow, the trio whose feats of strength have been exciting a furor in London; Louis St. Cyr, the Canadian Hercules, and Dennis Gallagher, the wonderful strong man of Buffalo, are expected to meet in a public trial of strength and skill, such as has never before been witnesred in the United States. If half the feats said to have been accomplished in England and elsewhere by these men are duplicated here the exhibition will be one well worth seeing, and will be notable among nineteenth century athletics. It is pretty hard to believe all the tremen- dous stories that are told of these fellows who arecoming hereto show us just what real physical strength means. For many weeks past ashort-necked man with stout legs ard a big biceps, calling himself C. A. Sampson, and spelling it witha ‘‘p,’’ to show that he wasn’t related to the other Samson, who was so badly tricked by Delilah, has been astounding London audiences by his per- formances with a young fellow who modestly concealed his identity under the imposing name of Cyclops. They have been perform- ing at the Westminster Aquarium, and send- ing out ALL SORTS OF CHALLENGES from the stage to men who labor under the hallucination that they can lift a ton or two with comparative ease. Finally, after Samp- son had offered a prize of $500 to the man who could do the feats done by Cyclops, his pupil, and $2,500 to any better man than bimself who might turn up, Bugene Sandow undertook the task. He fairly woo the premiums offered by Sampson, but the latter, probably through chagrin, refused to hand over the money. Some highly amusing stories are told about these contests. Sampson, who is not the herculean person in appearance that his feats would seem to imply, isa native of Metz, the son of a French mother and a Spanish father. He speaks seven languages, plays sonatas on the plano with the delecate touch of a girl, and has a biceps measuring 14% inches in repose, and 19% inches when he wresties with an iron rod ora wire rope. His chest measgur- ment is 44inches, but when he inflates his lungs he adda several inches to his figure. This peculiarity gave rise tothe rumor that he was a native of Chicago and a World’s Fair boomer, but this be bas indignantly denied. Sampson; however, visited the United States several years ago, being then compsratively unknown. Cyclops, his pupil, is 21 years of age anda magnificent specimen of physical development. Sandow is a Pomeranian and was born at Konigsberg twenty-two years ago. For four years he bas been trained by Prot. Attila, one of the best-known athietic teachers in Ger- many. HI8 DEVELOPMENT is superior to that of Sampson, his chest measurement being forty-five and one-half inches and bis biceps and forearm each from ltol% inches larger than those of his rival. He weighs 202 pounds when in condition. Sandow performed in London before the lead- ing sporting men of England, eclipsing Samp- son’s most difficult feats, breaking chain bracelets and wire! ropes with his forearms and bending heavy iron rods by striking them across his chest, his arms, and his thighs. The bracelet chains, which had a resistance of 2,5.0 pounds, were snapped like pipe stems. Among those who witnessed these extraordinary trials of strength were the Marquis of Queensberry, Lord de Ci fford and Capt. Molesworth, who acted as judges. As the Pomeranian snapped length after length of the steel chain brace- lets with his biceps, and burst the wire ropes with his pectoral muscies, men rose in the audience and waved bank notes of big denominations as an invitation to Sampson to beat the white-skinned Sandow if he could; but the former sulked and declined. Sandow then, after lightly tossing a 150-pound dumb- bell in the air a few times to keep his hand in, while the judges consulted, performed a trick which caused Sampson to collapse. He placed achain around his back and neok and roceeded to lift the 150-pound dumb- deil with is hands. The chain snapped, the Britishers yelled and the referee d — that the Pom- eranian had beaten the Metz mano t of sight. When these 1 with Sampson’s. Rs | comrade, Cycl petitor 68 rth , — * KE . a boy doesn’t care to attempt any chain-break- ess. Louis St. Cyr, the ‘‘Canadian Hercules,’’ who bas challenged Sampson and Sandow, is 26 years of age, and isa man of superb devel- opment, standing five feet ten and one-baif inches tall, and weighing 323 pounds; his flesh and muscles areas hard as oak, and he is probably the best weight-lifter ever seen in this part ot the globe. Another challenger is Dennis Gallagher, a muscular athlete who formerly resided in Buffalo, and whose specialty is Lancashire wrestling The Buffalo ing feats at present, he prefers to test the strength and skili of the giants at a bout of colilar-and-elbow wrestling, or a catch-as- catch-can match for any amount. St. Cyr and Callagher have both appeared in public contests. The former has put up a 245 dumb-bell from floorto shoulder, and from shoulder to aim’s length with one hand. On March 28, 1886, at St. Henri, Canada, he lifted a plaform on which sever men were seated, and which, also, contained seven dumb- belle anda barrel of flour, the whole making a dead weight of 2,878 pounds. He repeated this feat six months later. Immediately after thie he placed a barrel of flour upon his shoulder, and followed this up by lifting 3,500 pounds of Dig-iron with a plank as the hold. His tremendous development will dwarf both Sampson and Sandow and rendera contest among these giants decidedly interesting. There are other great Americans who will in all probability enter the list against the hercu- lean foreigners when they arrive. William B. Curtis, the sporting editor of the Spirit of the Times, ie a famous amateur athiete. He has lifted, with the harness, 1,250 pounds in New York City. David L. Dowd ot Springfield has lifted 1,442% pounds with hands alone; H. Leussing of Cincinnati has a re ord of lifting 1,364 pounds; G. W. Winship ot Bos- ton, 1,200 pounds; Ambrose A. Butts of Auburn, O., 2,737% pounds: Dr. John Lucas of Belleville, III., 2,700 pounds, and C. O. Breed of Lynn, Mass., a barrel of flour weign- ing 226 pounds, with his hands alone. All these men compare favorably with the foreign champions. A carpenter named Stearns of Granite Corners, N. I., aged 80 years, shoul - dered a 4,000-pound cannon. Still others in the muscular arena who may be expected to come forward are Powers, the ‘*Cowboy Samson, a celebrated lifter well- known in New York City, and Andrew Hall, a medium-sized,finely developed athlete, whose best feat is to place a cobblestone on his chest and let a man break it with a sledgehammer. This is the same trick that ‘*‘Pooley’’ Mace and Thomas Lambert used to perform fifteen years ago, when they starred all over the country inthe ‘‘gladiator statue“ business. Hall also does the trick mes by Sampson with the iron rods. s bends the rod to a right angle by beating it over his arm or his bead, and straightens it out again by the same method. His skull seems to be in- capable of injury, and this part of the pro- gramme is a puzzie tothe medical fraternity. The remarkable feats accomplished by these strong men will not suffer by comparison with the yaunted deeds ofthe ancients. Milo, the old ox-killer, who used to gorge himself on twenty pounds of meatand fifteen pints of wine at a sitting, may bave had a nobler ap- petite than our modern athietes, who are trained on scientific reer but he would have shrunk from a bout with St. Cyr, had the latter playfully invited him to lift a platform with twenty men sitting on it. Even Tommy Topham, the famous Englishman, who, in 1836, lifted three hogsheads of water, bent pokers across his neck and arms and straight- ened them out again with his fingers, could hardly have heid his own against such a re- doubtable champion as the Canadian. The records given above go very far to prove that the modern athlete isin every particular the superior of his predecessors. Turf Gossip. The Executive Committee of the American Jockey Club has sent out acircular letter in- viting all members of the association to con- tinue the payment of their annual dues in order that the cinb-house on the hill over- looking Jerome Park may be retained as a place of resort and refreshment for those who drive up the road. The younger men of the club are enthusiasticlly in favor of holding on to the old house. The dues are only $25, yet several have expressed a wiliingness to pay $50 a yeas rather than giveitup. Asaracing association the American Jockey Club ase to have been retired; as a social body it may ‘continue to live. As to the future of Jerome Park, it is prob- able that the American Pony Racing Associa- tion will lease the track for a playground. Representatives of the Rockaway Hunt, the Meadowbrook, the Huntington, the Country Club of Westchester, and the Essex County Ciub held a meeting recently, at which steps were taken for the formation of an organiza- tion modeled on the pian of the National Pony and Galloway cing Association of England. A committee consisting 5 H. L. Herbert, A. B. Purdy, J. R. Woo A. OC. Tower and James Smith were ap to frame rules for the government of the pro- posed association, and to call a convention next month of all the hunting and country clubs between Boston and Washington, for the purpose of organizing it.

During the past week the National League has made very little headway in getting back their reserved players, and work in that line will be more difficult than ever afterthis. Of the 118 League players who finished the season last year, thirty-two have returned to the National League. Twenty-five of N had signed the agreement to form ow league and were members of the Brother- hood. Nine have not signed as yet, vis: Car- roli, Madden, Hines, Gumbert, Guns, Had - dock, Welch, Flint and T. Brown. All are strong Brotherhood men, and with the ex- ception of Hines, Gumbert and Welch em stuy withthe players, Flint has gone into the saloon business in Chicago and may not be seen on the field again. This leaves seventy-seven of the old men signed with the players, and with the new Fleer.

On the other hand, should the players come out best and have aright to form the league they bave already consummated, there will be lively times ahead for the lawyers, as the men who have signed two and three contracts will have cases brought against them with a fairchance of making the contract-jumpers wish they had done business on the square.
