Ruine Per Cent of the Bell Tele- 2 phone Service Seriously Impaired. The Trouble Due to the a ing Currents of the Hlec trio Light Companies. An Effective Effort Being Made to Fix Up a Semi-Metallic Return Circuit—This Failing an Injunctiion to Restrain the Operation of the Lighting Plants Prob- able—The City’s Police and Fire System Telephones Also Knocked Out ot Time— The Lighting Companies Endeavoring to Help Out in the Trouble asd Mead Of Possible Injunctions—The Expedtents Re- sorted to. The telephone service of St. Louis is to-day just about knocked out. The cause of the trouble is the beginning ofthe operation of the Missouri Electric Light Co.’s plant. It was first manifested Tuesday evening and SS esterday Morning early, when the electric 4 \ ights were turned on. It was not then, however, a comparison to the trouble to-day. About II o’clock this morning it began anew, and by noon the Bell Telepnone Co. had 1,000 wires utterly useless, and about 90 per cent of its service was very seriously impaired. The fire alarm telegraph was in working order, but the tele- phone and police system of the city were crippled almost to uselessness. The question then was what to do about it, as there could possibly be no remedy as long as existing conditions remain. General Man- ger Geo. F. Durant of the Bell, when seen, took a despondent view of the situation, and aid THE ONLY REAL REMEDY would bea metallle cireult for each sub- scriber, and this would involve an under- round Circuit: „„We have, he said, done everything in dur power so far. We have had all the men vut we could get and worked through the ain of Tuesday night and yesterday. Just low We are trying an expedient. Weare be- ginning to Gisconnect the wires from the earth, substituting common return wire, and thus making a sort qt semi-metal- lie eiroult. This lll partially neu- tralize the effect of the light wires, out I have not got any faithin its proving satisfactory. This work will require probably a week, as we will have to string well on to thirty miles of wire and visit every subscriber.’’ Mr. Durant was asked what would be done if this did not prove successful. „The only other step,’’ he said, may be to ENJOIN THE LIGHTING COMPANIES from operating their plants. They are doing everything they oan to help us solve the problem, and we do not want to be forced to harsh measures against them, but I would not ve surprised if it would come to that.“ ‘*Would it not suffice to move the wires om vpur poles?“ was asked. , that would not do. The effect comes . when the wires are on the poles on the site side of the street, On St. Charles, where the poles are on the opposite side of the street, we have had some of our most seri- ous trouble. ‘*Will the Municipal add to the trouble when it starts up?“ **Ithink not. We are not afraid of it. The Westinghouse and Heisler incandescent lights, which have the alternating current, are the ones doing the damage.’’ AT THE FIRE ALARM OFFICE Chief Operator Benedict was found trying to explath to Dr. Dudley why he could not reach the city institutions and to other city offi- cial why they could not communicate as usual with other points. Superintendent of Electric Lighting called up, saying he would have the trouble remedied if the tele- phone people could tell where the induction came from. This it was impossible to gay, as the only place it really came from was from the electric plants. Out- side of that, inquiry might as well be made as to where the wind comes from. The induc- tion can only come from the electric light wires. The wires not being large enough to carry the full force, the cur- rent seeks other wires, not carrying their capacity. Absolute contact is not necessary to do the damage, ss the induction comes from the waves of electricity spreading out from the lighting wires. This spreading out Is best described by Mr. Benedict by comparing it by way of illustration, to the effect of drop- ping a pebble intoperfectly still water. The ’ ripples that extend out in circles represent the circles surrounding the lighting wire. The telephones aré not only rendered use- dy the effect of this induction, but LIFE 18 ENDANGERED, t_very seriously, as is -oxpizined by iedicth, - zn this trouble is on,“ he says, 1 may, as one often does, place the err over the two little contact poles on the end of theear piece. He is almost certain to have his finger burned from the point of one pole to the point of the other. Or, he might, as one of does, throw his other hand up in a resting position, piacing it pos- sibly on a gas pipe. In that case this current would be death. He would be transfixed, as if nailed to the spot, and he would remain there until burned up. The cause of this may easily be explained. Electricity, as every one knows, seeks as short and rapid return as possible to the earth, the great reservoir. The earpiece ofthe telephone is constructed with a great length of fine silk wire, through hien the current must passe de- 4 it goes out over the other » and is released. With a con- or across these two poles it of course from one to the other, and the bolder ives it. When the other hand is placed a gaspipe, for instance, it passes right ugh the body into the ground, seeking the .vrtest route. Mr. Benedict was asked as to what could be dope to remedy the matter. Move the wires, hesaid. ‘‘Tney should never have been placed on our poles. We fought it right along, but they finally got permission from somebody. We have as fine a telephone service as there is, an ele- gautsystem of poles, and ask no odds from anybody, but we are completely ruined now, tnd it willremain the same way unless the mause is removed. THE FIRE ALARM, sexplained, was all right, as it could only 10 interrupted by actual contact and the urning out of the es. ‘Of course, he sald, that is able to occur now than defore, more but hen it does we can send een out -epair it. This was the case with the et night. There was no possib!~ mn Ma Lia could have got an alarm to that engine house except by messenger. We have three ways to reach the engine houses. First, the joker, used to notify all of them; the telegraph gong, and the tele- phone. The joker was burned out, as was also the gong wire, and the telephone was useless. This sending men out on such work is not pleasant, however. We had men out all night Tuesday night and all day yesterday, without stopping, until their wives came around to see what was the matter with them. And Lean tell you this work is dangerous, ciimbing around over wet poles, through wires any one of which car- ries death with it.“ THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PEOPLE are also very much inter ested in overcoming the trouble ln some way. They have offered to do everything {n their power to assist in the work, and havé supplied the heavy wire, about thirty miles of it, to form a sem!i-metallic return circuit. Ifthisis not satisfactory it is almost certain that an injunction will be applied for against the operation of the Mis- souri and Helsier plants, at least until such time asthe telephone wires can be placed under ground. CHARGED A CONSPIRACY. A Scene Between Attorneys in the Court of Criminal Correction To- Day. „Tour Honor, there is a conspiracy in this case against my client, and I am not going to stand it,’’ shouted Attorney Marshal F. Mo- Donald inthe Court of Oriminal Correction this morning. The case on trial was one against Fred Hartis and Private Watchman James French. who were charged with burglary and larceny in breaking open afreight car inthe Iron Mountain yards on the night of December 22 and stealing a quantity of property. Hartis had turned State’s evidence and was about to be put on the stand by the prosecu- tion. Attorneys Harvey and McDon- ald represented French, while Attor- ney Hodges of the Iron Mountain and Prosecuting Attorney Claiborne appeared for the State. A severance of the witnesses had been granted. As Hartis stepped forward to be sworn he stopped fora moment by the side of the attorneys for the State and en- gaged in conversation. It was at this moment that Mr. McDonald jainped to his feet and made the charge quoted in the opening paragraph. „There is a mean conspiracy agatnst my client, he repeated. ‘*] say there is not, retorted Mr. Clal- borne. But I say there is, roturned Mr. McDon- ald, and you know it.’’ 5 * I say there is not, said Mr. Claiborne, otly. There the two men stood and glared at one another for fully halfa minute. Neither spoke a word, but their flushed faces and clenched hands showed the intensity of their passions. Every person in the court-room looked fora collision, but thev were disappointed. Judge Campbell interfered. Mr. McDonald, you had no ground for making that assertion as you did. IShall fine you $50 for contempt of court. Mr. McDonald did not say a word. He sat down. Hartis took the,stand and the exam!i- nation proceeded. THE EMMA ETLING MYSTERY. Another Rumor That She Is Alive Circula- ting Among Former Friends. Another rumor has arisen among the friends Emma Etling, who mysteriously disappeared last February from her home, 2639 South Twelfth street. Itis again said that she is alive and is an inmate of an institution in the city. It will be remembered the girl left home one evening to go to a friend’s house. The next morning her cloak, hat, gloves and veil were found on the river bank at the foot ot Victor street, and there were tracks in the mud leading out into the water. No other trace of the girl was ever obtained. Her body was never found nor was any message received from ber. Her mother believes that she is alive, but the family have so little be- lief in the story now told they have not asked the police to begin the investigation. UNDER FALLING WALLS, James Kelly, a Laborer, Seriously and Pos- sibly Fatally Hurt. About 8:45 o’clock this morning, while a number of workmen were engaged in tearing down an old driek dullding which had gone to ruin at 22 North Jeffer- son avenue, the north wall suddenly collapsed and an immense number of brick fell with a crash into the street. Allof the men escaped but one. This was James Kelly, who was caught under the mass of debris and crushed to the ground. When some of his companions succeeded in digging him out Kelly was found to be unconscious. The blood flowed from aterrible cut over his right eye and he was spitting blood from in- ternal injuries. The injured man was taken to his home, 2838 Warren street. He is serious- ly hurt. KEPT THE GATES CLOSED. A Dam in the River Des Peres and Broadway Bridge Broken. There is a dam across the River Des Peres at the Klausman Brewery in Carondelet. The dam is only a short distance from the Broadway bridge. The flood paured down against the dam all of yesterday and the waste gates not being open the water spread. The southern abutment of the Broadway bridge was weakened and the bridge sank twelve feet this At the same time the gave way. The loss to the Klausman Brewing Co. is about $1,000, and to the city nearly as much. The bridge is closed to travel. the The Demand for Gas Securities. Tne veto of the Branham gas bili by Mayor Noonan has had an enlivening effect on the market for gas stocks and bonds here. They all show a marked advance. Laclede bonds, which sold tlargely at 8 on Tuesday, were 6% bid, 87% asked, and early cis morning there were sales at 87%. Th. Laclede’s preferred stock was S6bid and 57% asked, and the common 18% bid and 19½ to 20 asked. The amounts offering are very small. buyers being much more numerous than seliers. The buyers are also of a new class, embracing the investor, who has not appeared in the gas market for a long time. Carondelet Jottings. Miss Tillie Stingler, a young lady ed 18 years, is missing from her home. She left home Sunday evening and has not been heard of since. Her parents have no idea of her whereabonts. umor has it that the girl eloped with a man named Chas. Bayer. John McGovern, a popular engineer of the St. Louis, Iron Mountaſn & Southera Railway, died shortly after 6 o’clock this morning. McGovern was one of the oldest engineers on the above-named road, and during his career as an engineer figured in more collisions than any two eugineers running to-day. His hair is perfectly gray, though he was only 38 years of age. Mr. MoGovern’s death isasad one. His wife, little son and a brother are tying very i at the family resi- dence on Loughborough avenue. The Broth- — — of Locomotive Engineers will pury the remains. The Bohanons in Jail. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. CLINTON, Mo., Jan. 2.—Sheriff Jas. H.

Dry Goods in this section shall understand this, whether FATHER DAMEN DEAD. He Expires From «ua Stroke of Paralysis at Omaha, Neb. Father Damen, 8. J., died last night at Omaha, Neb., of a stroke of paralysis re- ceived at Cheyenne some months ago while on his way to the Pacific Coast. Father Damen was one of the best known ofthe Jesuit mis- sionaries in America and his reputation as an exhorter was particularly well established in St. Louis, where he labored for many years. All the old time attendants at the College Ohuroh on Ninth Christy avenue well remember him. The missions which he conducted in that edifice are a part of the history of Catholicism in St. Louls. During tne know-nothing riots when the College Church was threatened with destruction Father Damen was the arish priest, and on the night when the now-Nothings marched to the church he had thousands of people in the streets prepared to defend it with their lives. He also had a reserve force well armed which was stationed a couple of squares away and who were to be notified that they were needed by the ringing of the church bell. When the Know Nothings saw the preparations which had been madeto defend the church they re- frained from attacking it and went down to Sixth and Biddle streets to sack St. Patrick’s. It was there that thelr leader, Violet, was killed. Father Damen nad a grand voice and wielded a peculiar influen os over his hearers. He was by nature adapted to the work to which he devoted his life. Shortiy before be was stricken down he gave a mission atthe new College Church on Grand avenue. Educating the Horse.

VARIOUS FORMS OF ANAEMIA, What Eminent Authorities Say About Blood Diseases and Their Cause. The the Youth’s Companion. A condition of anw#mia, or lack of blood, occurs in the course of many acute and chronic diseases, and under such circum- stances js of importance only in connection with the special disorder which it accom- panies. But what of the many persons who are evidently **poor- blooded, and yet have no other known physical infirmity?

WESTBROOK TAKES A TRIP TO SEE BTA NEWLY MADE HUSBAND ＋ ‘Bho Is Satisfied nd Believes Reid to Be Greatly Wronged With Her Daughter's Choice ~The Young Couple Will Soon Return to St. Louis, Where Plaus for the Future - Will Be Made—The Alleged Quarrel De- HIS morning Mrs ; W. H. West- brook, the mother of Bertha Belle Westbrook, now Mrs. Hal Reid, of the Ag- nes Herndoa Co., returned home from atrip to St. Joseph, where she went Monday evening for the purpose of find- | ing out the facts n connection with her daughter’s sudden and sensational marriage. Mrs. Westbrook was een this morning by a Post-DISPATOCH re- orter, but was reticent regarding the mar- age. | „Jam well satisfied with my daughter's aoice,’’ she said. ‘‘I saw Mr. Reid and had long talk with him, and I am per- sctly satisfied with him. I am sure r. Reid is a gentleman and that what e says about his past life is ue. He has such honest eyes that believe in him. He has been basely ma- rned, and will prove to all parties inter- ‘ed that he has been falsely accused. When t my daughter and her husband at St. sph they were at work writing to persons knew about Mr. Reid, and who, Mr. jsays, will send affidavits which will clear all stains from his character. THE MARRIAGE not a secretone, neither was the ceremony formed by a register of deeds. Bertha was rried by Dr. Morris, a Methodist clergy- n, at his residence, and a number of the best city officials, among whom were Re- ‘der oho, Marshal McGowan and wife d others. he marriage took place Satur- ty nightand it was not a secret one. Dr. ,orris is an old friend of Bertha’s former pastor. Bertha is well satisfied with her choice, and does not regret thestepatall. I know the marriage was avery sudden one, and was a rash step for her, but I am sure that every- thing will turn out all right. They have sig- nified their intention of leaviag the company, and I believe Mr. Reid’s contract expires next week. They did not have any trouble what- ever with * 2 As THE COMPANY and they are all Bertha’s friends. Their leav- ing the company is merely a matter of busi- 83. Mr. Reid and Bertha will soon be in St. Touis, where everything will be explained and where Mr. Reid will satisfy everybody that hia character is perfectly free from stain, but until then I can say nothing more about The following story, regarding Ried’s ver- satility, has been received from 8t. Joseph: The membersjot the Agnes Herndon com- pany, who played there yesterday afternoon and evening in La Belle Marie, are suc- . ceeding in advertising the company to good rung advantage. At the matinee per- formance when the curtain down on the third act it ‘emained down for thirty minutes, but no one ,»ould tell the reason of the delay. Finally an vestigation showed that a little side-melo- rama bad been enacted behind the scenes, ut of which the audience was ignorant. Hal eid, the recently-made husband of Miss ‘ertha Belle Westbrook, was the one over nom the trouble occurred. Reid claimed Jat Mies Herndon was in love with him and Qt after * THE THIRD ACT he called him into her dressing-room and proposed that they elope togetner, she agree- in to turn over to bim her bank account of 865.000 and all of her diamonds, valued at 15,000. Reid refused, and a vordy war ensued, which was inter- ‘upted by the arrival on the scene if Joe Jessel, Miss Herndon’s husband. Miss lerndon denied having made such a proposi- ton to Reid, but Reid persisted that she did, ndtheupshot of the whole affair was that teid gave notice that his wife, Miss West- brook, and himselt would leave the company in two weeks. Reid very kindly told the story of his short and romantic courtship with Miss Westbrook. He said he was very lonely and found Miss Westbrook very lonesome and homesick, in fact in such low spirits that she could hardly eat. She depended on Mr. Jessel to take her to and from thetheater, but Jessel did this under protest. Miss Westbrook and Reid compared notes and found themselves simi- lariy situated, both were lonesome and wanted afriend. Finally Reid PROPOSED MARRIAGE, and Miss Westbrook agreed to the union after debating with herself and discovering that she loved him. They were then married. Mrs. Westbrook squashes the story by say- ing that she was at the matinee yesterday and that nosuch a thing as a quarrel occurred. — said the story was made from whole cloth, nd that there is no truth in it whatever. Reid and his bride are expected in the city within afew days. When asked whether Miss Bertha contemplated a continuance of her stage career, Mrs. Westbrook said: do not know what their plans are. If Mr. Reid continues on the stage, she will go with him and no matter what he does she will remain with him. They will probably decide what to do after reaching St. 5 EXPLOSION Of NATURAL GAS.

The Duty on Wool—Petitions of Growers— Gen. Clark, Ex-Clerk of the House, Steps Down and Out—The World’s Fair Con- test—An American Murderer Executed in Mexico. Rv Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 2.—Ex-Olerk of the House of Representatives Jobn B. Clark, Jr., received his official clearance papers from the Auditor of the Treasury this morning. This closes the gentleman’s career as an officer of the house, andthe early settlement ot his official affairs adds to his already good record. At the St. Louls World’s Fair headquarters this morning Gen. John B. Clark stated that he had not heard of any unusual efforts that were to be made by New York people. He has word that the St. Louis delegation will be here Monday next and will be ready to receive them. They will go before the Senate Committee in the interest of St. Louis on the 8thinst. Gen. Clark reports everything quiet just now, owing to the holiday absence of members. There is nothing new at this end of the line in the St. Louis Post-office contest this morn- idg. Something is looked for to occur early next week. L. L. Bridges of Sedalia and Col. Thomas Kelly of Moberly are still here awaiting de- velopments. The Tariff Hearings. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 2.—The Ways and Means Committee to-day heard arguments by representatives of the wool-growers. George H. Wallace of Missouri read a prepared paper abounding with statistics to demonstrate the necessity for maintaining the duties on imported wool and suggested an adjustable tariff which would diminish when wool was scarce and high in price and increase when it was plentiful and low in price. He dwelt at length upon what he described as imperfections of the present classifications, saying that in Wanamaker’s store could be seen pantaloons made of third. class or carpet wool, and sold at $3.50 per pair. The importers of wool said that this grade of wool was used every- where and for all kinds of wool manufactur- ing as well as carpets. This demonstrated the fact that the importation of third-class woo! under the present law is diminishing the production of wool in America. Rep resentative Flower questioned Mr. Wal- lace closely as to actual cost of wool production in Missouri, elicit- ing the fact thatthe land was worth from $35 to $40 peracre, and that it would maintain one sheep peracre. Representative Carlisle joined in the inquiry and ascertained from the witness that the fleece averaged about 31.50. The actual cost of production of the wool was about 20 cents a pound. There was no money to be made at that figure, but there were other considerations to be heeded, such as the manuring of the land, the fact that sheep cleared off brambles and weeds and otherwise benefited the farm. Mr. Breckluridge having put a long hypo- thetical question, respecting the profit of wool growing in the United States, the witness replied drily tnat be would find that subject discussed with great ability in the President’s of two years ogo. Bennett of Boston, editor of the American Wool Reporter, was the next witness, and said that two petitions would be pre- sented to Congress—one signed by 6530 per- sons in favor of free wool, and the other signed by 26° persons in favor ot an ad valorem duty on wool in place of the present specific form of duty. VContinu- ing,the witness said that the petitions showed that the rank dnd fileof smaller manufactur- ere were as willing to express their opinions in regard to the wool duties as were the reat leaders of the trade. No effort ad been made to ascertain the politics of the signers of the petitions (laughter). A pet tion for reduced duties upon wool 1 benefit of the manufacturers who turn — 2 peda growees the sole marl te eir fleece, would secure a great many sign- ere among that portion of our agricultural 8 ne rot concerned in the wool. 6 * be ad valorem ) newspaper office last Want, | favored compound duties on manufactures of wool because of the difficulty of determin- ing their value, but the same objection could not be made to aun ad valorem duty on raw wool, as the prices were known all over the world, and undervaluation could not be prac- ticed. In answerto Chairman McKinley, witness said that personally he favored the ad valo- rem petition. He was averse to radical changes and believed that an ad valorem duty of 40 per cent on combings and per cent on carpet wool would afford all sufficient protection. Replying to Mr. Carlisle the witness said that it was undoubtedly true that as land increased in price the number of sheep decreased; where the sheep decreased the prosperity of the in- habitants increased vastly. He did not think that the teriff on wool had Increased the price realized by the wool-grower. At the conclusion of Mr. Bennett’s testimony a re- cess was taken. After recess J. F. Gibbs of Greeely, Colo., took the stand and gavea number of statis- tics relative to the cost of growing and mar- keting wool in the West. Taking the ac- counts of a Colorado farm, he showed that 13,000 pounds of raw wool cost the grower about 2 cents per pound; et the seaboard it cost 30 cents, and after scouring pretty nearly 90 cents. He read from a letter written by a Colorado sheep grower to show the great hazards of the busi- ness, resulting from stormsand blizzards and prairie fires and severe winters. Executed in Mexico. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—The Depart- ment of Stateis informed by the Minister of the United States to Mexico of the execution by shooting at Guayamas on the 9th of December of J. J. Taylor of Talleur, who as- saulited a train of the Sonora Railway Co., in May, i888, twelve miles from the Arizona frontier, in which assault two American citi- zens— Conductor L. Atkinson and Fireman W. Forbes—were killed and the train robbed. Capt. Lee’s Death. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—The War De- partment has announced the death at St. Louis, December 25, of Capt.

The strikers demand Wabash wages, but the officials so far have not decided to come to their terms. There has been no dis- turbance as yet. Court Notes.

THE POLICE REFUSE TO DISCUSS DREXLER’S CHARGES AGAINST THEM. 4 Officer Scully Intimates Thht He Has Been Instructed to Say Nothing and Chief Huebler Denies All Kuowledge of Such Orders— Drexler Explains His statements to Capt. Young and Mr. Dierkes. The police are pursuing strange tactics in regard to the charges Made by E. A. Drexler against Officers Ecully and Danaher. AI- though these charges ure of a most serious character no explanation of them is offered by the policemen concerned. Officer Scully, who was seen to-day, evades answering them and intimates that he bas been lustructed not to speak. The state- ment made by Drexier stands uncontradicted, though it reflects most seriously on the Police Department. His statement, too, is corrobo- rated in part by others, who claim to have overheard a conversation between him and Officer Scully at Drexler’s place of business in which the officer told the lottery man that it he would prosecute ex- Policeman George Leonard and get him out of the way he could sell ali the lottery tickets he choose. Drexler keeps acigar store at No. 818 Pine street and L also a vender of lottery tickets. His story, which was published in the PoOstT-DISPATCH a few days ago, is as follows: Officer Scully came to him and told him that the police did not want to break up lottery, but merely desired to make some money out of it. Ex-Police Officer George Leonard and the Post-DISPATCH were RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESENT CRUSADE against lottery and the paper was paying Leonard $2,000 for giving them information about lottery. Leonard would have to be got out of the way and then the paper could not get any infor- mation and would drop the fight and lottery could again run. Drexler must prose- cute Leonard fer keeping on hand lottery tickets for sale. Such is Drexler’s story in substance, He also claims that Herman Bruner spoke to him in about the same strain, and says that he has frequently seen Scully about Bruner’s place. Drexier’s story goes further, He claims that while he was locked up in a cell after his arrest on a charge of selling lot- tery tickets Officers Scully and Danaher both came to him and told him that the police did not intend to break up lottery, but merely wanted to make money out of it, and that m a month or two, as soon as the present crusade stopped, lottery would run again. Drexler alleges even fur- ther, that Officer Danaher came to hie store one day, just after his (Drexel’s) release from the Four Courts, and told him that he wasa fool to stop selling lottery tickets and that he could go ahead and sell them as before. Drexier did take out warrants against Leon- ard, but when the cases came up inthe Court of Criminal Correction his attorney, Mr. P. F. Fauntleroy, stated that his client did not desire to prosecute them, as he was instigated by the police to bring the cases. Drexler made the same statement, saying that Officer Scully had instigated the prosecutions, The cases were then continued by the court until the 2th of the present month. about which They certainly the explanation is not Oapt. Young and As. Attorney Dierkes state that he ö Leonard of h own will, but Mr. Drexier ains this by stating that he was instructed by Officer Soully to go to Capt.

SCULLY WILL NOT TALE. Officer Scully refuses point blank to be inter- viewed. He was with his partner, Officer Danaber, in the office of Capt. Young, when seen by a Post-DIsPaTCH reporter this morn- ing. He was asked what he had to say to the charges made by Edward A. Drexler and printed in the PosT-DISPATCH of last Tuesday to the effect that he had made the proposition to Drexler in his cell that if he would assist in catching Leonard he (Drexler) would be al- lowed to do business as soon as the Post- DISPATCH had been silenced. Mr. Scully made no answer. „1 Drexier’s story true or false?“ asked the reporter. Still there was no answer, and Mr. Seully turned to walk away. How about it, Mr. Scully? The affair looks a little suspicious.’’ At this Mr. Scully turned around, placed his hand partially over his mouth, and said ina low voice: Joan not be interviewed.’’ „Why not?’’ was asked, **Well, I have orders from my superiors not to talk to you reporters any more,’’ was the answer. „Secret orders, Mr. Scully?’’ No, the order is a general one. Then vou won't say whether or not you induced Drexler to prosecute Leonard?“ There was no response. And you won't tell what Drexler told you at the time you approached him in his cell?“ Mr. Scully made the same reply. „And you say youdon’t know what that story is which Mr. Fauutleroy threatens to tell on you and Mr. Danaher unless you al- low Drexier to drop the cases againgt Leon- Still the officer was mum. How aboutthe arrest of Herman Bruner and his clerk? Have you and Bruner fallen out or is this just a little ‘bluff’ which you are trying to spring?’’ Atthis lastsally Mr. Scully waxed wroth. Turning as if to leave the room, he said: ‘*lam not going to talk to you. I want to : — to apt. Young before Isay any- ng.’ l Then the reporter took his departure. He tried to talk to Officer Danaher, but he was equally uncommunicative. CAPT. YOUNG was afterwards seen. He was asked whether he had given any general order to his men not to talk to newspaper men in the future. He said he had not. Then ne was asked whether he had given Mr. Scully a secret order to that effect. Instead of making an answer in words the Captain assumed a knowing pose, pointed his finger upward over his mouth and left the of- fice muttering something. The next question was, had Chief Huebler issued shut up orders? ; A visit was next made to the official head of the St. Louis Police Department. Chief Huebler was at liberty. He was asked a few questions as follows: ‘‘Chiet Huebler, have you at any time issued a general order to the effect that offi- cers shall not at anytime talk to newspaper reporters?’’ — **T have not. Have you issued a secret order to Officer Scully to that effect?“ „J have not. Has such an order been given by you to Capt. Young to be transmitted to Officer Scully?“ It has not. An officer’s tongue is his own and if it gets him into trouble that is hia look- out, not mine.’’ LA GRIPPE. A Patient in New York Commits Suicide While Delirious.

Consumption and Indvor Air. Dr. Felix L. Oswald in Harper’s Bazar. In the course of the last fifty yearsa num ber of observant physicians have evinced a more and more outspoken conviction that pulmonary disorders make no exception to the general rule that all diseases become more curable in cold weather. Three generations ago all lung troubles, almost without an ex- ception, were ascribed to the influence of cold air—a delusion perpetu- ated in the still sadiy misleading word ‘‘cold’’ as a synonym of catarrh, and in the not yet quite obsolete fashion of sending consumptives to an early grave in the sultry coast regions of the tropics. Cold night air, ‘‘draughts,’’ and raw March winds,’’ bad beconie the bugbears of lung-sick persons. A disease due to a low temperature seemed nat- urally to demand warmth for ite cure, and atients who could not afford the expense of a ouroey to Florida or the West Indies were kept penned up in the stifling atmosphere of an overheated sick-room, with every breath of fresh air carefully excluded. — Those delusians were first shaken by the re- sult of comparative statistics. The mortality records of eve civilized country East, West, North and South, demonstrated the suggestive fact that the prevalence of con- sumption bears an exact proportion to the prevalence of indoor occupations. In pas- ral Norway pulmonary disorders were found to be less frequent than in cotton-spinning England; in frosty Switzerland less quent than in unanimous reports elers established remarkable circumstance that in the polar Italy. the same time experience had left no doubt that a change from in-door to out-door occupations could, in four out of five cases, be relied upon to avert the doom of hered consumption. ughs, e ath ing an out-door mode of life; Sar clea fs city" workemops store 1 soe our 0 Safer we of their 50th * while the fifth, on — — — outlived bis nephews — — grand · u 8. nsumption was grad recognized to be a house disease. = It is true that the theory of the old school tly supported by the circum ers become more fre- 2 wet goods for the same Responsible Dry Good: BROADWAY AND ST.

For the present the people of St. Louis can get gas at the rate of $1.25, with 5 per cent off for cash, but they can get this only during good behavior. There is no law which can ‘prevent the monopoly from charging $10 a thousand if it wishes, under penalty of darkness for all who refuse. —ͤG—U—œ—— 8—— e 2 — SECRETARY Rusk's New Year greeting to the New York WORLD indicates that the Secretary is a tirst-class tariff reformer, but doesn’t know it. Or, perhaps, he knows it, but doesn’t want toacknowledge it openly. His final sentence is a tariff reform stump speech from the standpoint of the farmer. — — — — IN his letter to his wife notifying her of his abduction of their children Dr. E. H. CoaTEs refers to his defense in his trial for the murder of old man KEITH con- temptuously as ‘“‘the insanity dodge.“ Seeing that the plea substituted three months in an insane asylum for the peni- tentiary or the gallows it is entitled to the highest respect on the part of CoATEs. But his reference to it asa dodge“ sug- gests that it merits profound contempt in many cases at the hands of juries. — — — — THe Republicans in the Council were evenly divided on the gas bill which the Mayor has vetoed. There were ten of them and they cast five votes for it and five against it. The fate of the bill rested with the three Democratic members, and it passed because two of them voted for it and only one againstit. If all the mem- bers of the Municipal Assembly were Democrats, dividedon the bill in thesame ratio, they would now proceed to pass it over the Mayor’s veto. Honors are easy between parties on this question. — — . — DEACON RICHARD SMITH does not raise the popular estimate of President HARRI- SON’s ability by reporting that he is in favor of Secretary WINDOM’s silver scheme. If the Government is to serve as a market for silver bullion on which it issues guaranteed certificates to be used as currency, why not turn it into a huge warehouse for the receipt of cotton, corn, hay, lead, zinc and other products? The Government can turn as much silver into coin as Congress thinks proper, but when it becomes a common market for silver bullion it is exceeding its province. —ꝗZJ— — e — Tue best argument in favor of the Aus- tralian ballot system is the reported speech of Senator GORMAN to the Demo- cratic editors of Maryland against its adoption in that State. GORMAN is a con- victed corruptionist, and this speechisa confession of guilt. He maintains his hold on Maryland through the worst ele- ments in the politics of that State. He is against reform, and particularly ballot reform, because he knows that its adop- tion would mean the loss of his power and the wiping out of his disreputable machine and its methods. The revelation of Sen- ator GORMAN’s attitude showld be the signal for the people of his State to throw off his disgraceful yoke through reforms of elections, Tue Journal denies that Kansas City Wants to break the fast mail connection gt Kansas City, and asserts that she is perfectly willing that a fast train for the Southwest shall make connection there with the fast train from St. Louis on its arrival shortly before noon, provided another fast train is started from Kansas City for her exclusive benefitisome six hours in advance of the through train over the same road. In other words, Kan- sas City will not oppose a through train if such train does not take the place of a special morning fast mail from Kansas City to the Southwest. Butshe demands the latter even if the through mail has to wait for it at Kansas City from noon till next morning. 1 — THE efforts made by some of our states - men and newspapers to excite in this country a popular distrust of the repub- licanism of the provisional government in Brazil, because the latter did not pro- vide for the immediate election of a con- stituent assembly by the people, are not reasonable. Brazil is such a big country, its population is so scattered, and their means of communication so inadequate that the time given for them to consider their situation and make up their minds on all the great questions to be decided in the formation of a new republican union like ours, is short enough. The evolution ot our present system of government from the old con- federation of colonies was the result of years of experimental self-government. — 8 — C-- - - Tun inquiry into the operation of the civil service law by the committee of the House appointed fur that purpose can be made of great value if it be impartial and thorough.

The inauguration of municipal lighting by electricity was accompanied by a sig- nificant warning as to the danger threat- ening St. Louis from the multiplication of overhead wires carrying deadly currents. Although only the incandescent lights of the Missouri Electric Light Co. for the purpose of illuminating the alleys south of Chestnut street were turned on the re- sult was disastrous and affrighting. The telephone wires in proximity to the illu- minatine wires were rendered useless, several boxes were burned out and other accidents foreshadowing the possibility of terrible consequences to life and property occurred. In the northern section of the city, other electric wires killed a horse and a dog,severely shocked several people, de- stroyed a pole and created something of a panic. Witha series of such accidents occuring in one day from the few electric lighting wires now in use, what is to be expected when powerful currents flow over the network of wires shortly to be put in use for the illumination of the en- tire city and the running of electric rail-. ways? Is it possible to expect anything else except a repetition of. the experience of New York, where many lives have paid the penalty of carelessness in the use of electricity? The city authorities there have been compelled to cut down poles and wires and to fight the electric compa- nies in the courts. The lesson of New York’s experience and the warning of oyr own brief experi- ence should be heeded by our municipal authorities. Proper steps should be taken at the beginning of the experiment of mu- nicipal electric lighting to protect the lives and property of citizens. The pres- ervation of public safety should be the first condition imposed upon all manner of electric companies, — — . —— — — No Exception in Favor of Indian Territory. From the Chicago Tribune. Congress should make no further ‘‘treaties’’ with the Indians and should regard those now existing as in realty mere regulations to be al- tered or repealed at will. The whole Indian * tory ot the United States, and after sufficient land is allotted to the Indians in severalty a fair priee should be paid them for the unused portions, which should then be opened to white settiement and sold for what the lands will bring. No injustice should be done the Indians, but the Govern- ment cannot afford to permit bogus treaties to stand in the way of opening that fine country to settiement and keep in the pos- session of cattle syndicates which can con- tinue to bribe and buy up ‘‘squaw men and half-breeds for an indefinite period. The tribes of the Indian Territory should have a reguiar Territorial Government, with the principal officers appointed bythe President andthe Legislature appojnted in the usual manner. Oongress should exercise super- vision over all the legislation of the Territory, and its unoccupied lande should be taken possession of by the United States and dis- posed of to settiers. The pow-wow or treaty method ot dealing with the Indians should be abolished forthwith and never resumed. Kansas City’s Modesty. From the Kansas City Journal, The Post-Dispaton either misconceives the Journal’s claims for Kansas Oity or pur- posely misconstrues them. Neither the Journal nor the business men of this city have any de- sire to interfere with the fast through mall sys- tem.We haye no objection whatever to a new mall train to the Southwest starting upon the arrival of the fast mail from St. Louis,1. ., shoitly before noon. But we do object most seriously to having the Kansas City mall for the Southwest held unzil that time.

How a *‘‘Bud’’ Makes Her Debut and What Follows It. The season for dances bas begun, says the Philadelphia North American, and every young girl who has finished school and is abie to en- tertain her friends is expecting to enjoy her- self to the utmost when she glides over smooth fioors in the arms of some nice young fellow to the entrancing strains of Strauss and Waldteufel. A young girl who ig about to en- ter society is termed a bud, because she is an undeveloped biossom,even more attractive to many than the full-fledged society girl who has had the experience of worldly things gained by going through a couple of seasons. The first duty of a bud is to have a tea, to which all her father's and mother’s friends as well as ber own should be invited, and then she is really started on her social career. Teus are rather tame affairs, not only because the ice-cream, wafers and coffee are insufticient to satisfy the hunger of the sterner sex, who prefer when they zo out to have something substantial it no dancing is in order, but be- cause the attractive giris who are not receiv- ing are apt to decline being present if there is another engagement of a more im- portant character scheduled for the same evening. The tea, however, is a highly nec- essary event, and it is a cheap way of paying off any number of sociai obligations. At her first tea the bud always looks charm. ing in her attractive white garb, and her cousins or school friends who assist ber in making the affair pass off pleasantly are par- ticularly anxious to call attention to her good looks as they beam over buge corsage bou- quets and endeavor to prove even more at- tractive themselves. After the tea, when the young girl has been 1 by the attention she has re- cefved and has been called upon oy young men and older ones, who have had more ex- erlence ig addressing compliments so the air sex, she is ready for balls, germans and charms and knows how to sway her form in time to waltz, polka, 7 — rin, Danish dance, or militaire s¢hottisch music she is sure to havea good time. Even If she knows but few people others are sure to solicit an introduction from her chaperone or other at- tendant aid ber dances will soon be engaged.

CHICAGO, III., Jan. 2.—The police think they will soon solve the mystery ofthe murder of Max Mantwill, who was murdered in the base- ment of his house about ten days ago. A man has been placed under arrest, and Oapt. Schuettler thinks he is the murderer. The in- formation upon which the arrest was made came to the police through a German woman living near Mantwill’s house. The night of the murder she saw him skulking about and peering into the windows of the houses. About the time the murder must bave been cormamitted she saw him running down the street, coming from the vicinity of Mantwill’s house. The police will not give any informa- tion about the prisoner further than that he is a German. “THEY DO NOT SPEAK AS THEY PASS BY.” — — Agents, NOONAN’S VETO MESSAGE. ITIS NOT VERY LENGTHY, BUT IT COVERS THE WHOLE CASE The Gas Bill Is Net Judicious Legislation for the City of St. Lonuis—This Is the Only Reason Given for the Veto—The Others Will Not Be Made Known—The Charter Requirements en Veto Messages. BOUT noon Mayor Noonan had a brief consultation with City Counselor Bell upon subjects concerning the World’s Fair Committee, after which he wrote out his veto message, so as to conform with the regulations of the z charter. The mes- ey sage is short and puts the whole business in very few words. | The Mayor was seen by a Post- DisPpaTCH reporter and asked: „What will your message to the House of Delegates be?’’ „Tou will know in five minutes. It ison the type-writer now, and will be in the hands of the clerk of the House in fifteen minutes.’’ That was all the Mayor had to say about gas. He went on to chat pleasantly with several persons in in the office until the Board of Public Im- provements came in to pay him the regular New Tears visit, which has been the custom ofthe board for years, A few pleasant re- marks were interchanged, and the Commis- sioners, after wishing his Honor a happy New Year, departed. The message was finished by the time the board left, and it was submitted to the Mayor for signature. It read as fol- lows: MAYOR’S OFFICE, Sr. Louis, December 31, 1889. To the House of Delegates ‘of the City of St. Louis: GENTLEMEN—I have made a careful —_ laborious examination of House biil No. 283 and have listened to the arguments for and against itkand have reached the conclusion that it is not judicious legislation for the city of St. Louis, and accordingly decline to ap- provethe same. Respectfully, EDWARD A. NOONAK, Mavor. A copy of it was made and laid on the press table inthe outside office. This ends the Mayor’s duties as far as that measure is con- cerned. It now remains for the House of Delegates to decide what will be done with it. It is not probable thatthere will be a two- thirds majority ofthe entire House in favor of passing the bill over the Mayor’s veto. WHY HE WROTE A MESSAGE. The Mayor has disapproved of the gas bill and has under the charter been compelled to make bis return to the House of Delegates where the bill originated. He, under the charter, must send in bis objections or objec- tion to the bill, but all he needs do in — case is to give some valid objection, merel aformality. When it reaches the House t — the question arises whether the bill will be passed by a two-thirds vote over the Mayor’s veto. The law on the case is covered by secs. 28 and 25, article 3, of the Charter as follows: Sec. 23. Every bill, immediately after its passage in both houses, shall be presented to the Mayor for his approval or disapproval, and the Mayor shall, within ten days after such presentation, consider and return such bill to the house In which it originated, with his approval indorsed thereon or accompanied 4 his objection. If he approves the same it all become a law, or in case the Municipal Assembly remain in _ session for ten days after such presentation and the Mayor falls to return such bill as herein required, it shail become a law as if approved by him, provided, that if the Muni- cipal Assembly shall finally adjourn within ten days after any such presentation, the Mayor shall within ten days after such adjournment, return such bull to the Register, with his approval or reasons for disapproval, otherwise it shall become a law as approved. Sec. 25. Every bill presented as aforesaid, but returned without the approval of the Mayor, and with his objections thereto, shall standfas reconsidered inthe house to which it isreturned. The House shail cause the objections of the Mayor to be entered at large upon the journal, and proceed at its conven!l- ence to condider the question pending, which shall be in this form: ‘‘Shall thie bill pass, the objections of the Mayor thereto notwith- standing?’’ The vote upon this ques- tion shall be taken by yeas and pays, and the names ntered upon the journal, and if two-thirds of all the members elected to the House vote in the af- firmative, the presiding officer of that House shall certify that fact on the roll, attesting the same by his signature, and send ‘the bill with the objections of the Mayor to the other House, in which like proceedings shall be bad in relation thereto, and if the bill receivea like majority of the votes of all the members elected to that House, the vote being taken by yeasand nays, the presiding officer thereof shall inilke manner certify the fact upon the bill. This bill, thus certified, shall de- posited in the office of the Regis 207, as an authentic act, and shall become an ordinance in the same manner and with like effect as if it had the approval of the Mayor.

A Better Feeling Generally—The Call Stocks — Bank of England Statement. By Gaylord-Blessing’s Private Wire. From New York, 9 a. m.—It seemed to be quite generally agreed by the brokers that the feeling in the street at the close on New Year’s Eve, although strong, was dull, owing partly to the stiff money rate; and it was thought that the high interest quotations might not yleld until next week; nevertheless the sentiment uppermost was bullish on the stock market, and the talk was favorable for higher prices presently. It was the u uptown yester- day that Gould bimself had been buying his Missouri Pacific of late, shrewd brokers believed that this was true. Also there had been powerful new buying of the Vanderbiitsa’ stocks by insiders.. There hau also been new bnying of Lead by — operators of Sugar Trust. The holders sugar said they all got thelr cash Sividende on New Year’s evening. The gossip generally favors the low priced railroad stocks as favorites in the market, after the money market becomes aggre apt easier, espe- cially those whic al oe ae from their share of the bigtraffic which has permitted = — corporations to pay extra divi- ends 10:30 a. m.—The approaching cold wave strengthens the coal stocks.

Money is loaning at8and 10, and theullish sentiment of the street is asserting itself sharply. The renewals of stocks are at the rate of 10 to 12% per cent. For the first time in many days the rate for stocks is more than the money rate. There issomething wrongin sugar again; some pressure to sell, and no market. Bank of England Statement—The | propor- tion of reserve to liability is 27.17 against 33.27 last week, and 20.90 last year. The bullion in the Bank of England decreased £22,000, and the reserve decreased £281,000. II a. m.—The reserve of the Bank of England is low, and some steps to stop the decrease mustsoon betaken or it will disappear en- tirrely. Even with such a decrease it has lost $1,000,000 in gold. Certainly London is notin position to aid other high money markets.

One house has bought 20,000 shares of Lack - awanna so far this 3 and is still buy - ing. Another broker has bought 20,000 Read- ing, and is still buying. The opinion is di- vided whether these purchases are for long or short account, but they make the market for the time being. 12:30 p. m.—The irregularity of prices at the opening this morning clearly refilecte the differences in opinion among street traders. Some stocks were strong, and others were comparatively weak. The coalers, on the whole, have been the most active class of stocks during the morning, and have been notably strong. Their activity and strength, we think, comes from the covering of short contracts. There is certainly nothing in the condition of the coal trade, nor its promises for the future, to make these stocks in demand at present prices. St. Paul was adversely affected the disturb- ance in nger rates, dut latter became stronger with other Western stocks among the trusts. Sugar and lead have sbecome active and strong.

A meeting of those who believe that some changes In the rules and regulations, or at least in the manner in which they have been enforced, is very desirable was held on Tues day afternoon and a ticket, known as the op- position ticket, was selected.

The stock on hand at the opening of the New Year is between 6, ,000 and 7,000, lbs and consists almost entirely of Texas and territory wools, largely of the sa dy descrip- tions, The year 1889 will go down in the history ot the wool trade as one of the gloomiest experienced tor a full decade. The best that can be said for our market is that it has been no worse here than else- where. The causes of the unfavorable season were two open winters in suetcession, with a specu- lative craze sandwiched in between. The discussion of the wool question dur- ing the last political campaign con- centrated the attention of the entire country on the staple. Most of the farmers believed that the sue- cess of the protective tariff party meant high prices for wool and they earner | heid out for them. Many of the middlemen (dealers) and a few of the manufacturers thought likewise. and the result was that the clip of 1889 left the farmers’ hands at high prices and. in case of sandy, shrinky wools, at values that subsequently proved disastrous, Some of the wealthier sheep men refused to sell and shared in the break which occurred when the stocks were largest. Manufacturers, as a whole, bought little be- yond immediate wants and the result is that sales of domestic woois in Boston are fully 55,000,000 Ibs behind last vear’s. The sales of foreign wools of all kinds show a decided increase; in fact, the receipts of imported wools are more than 30 per cent in ex- cess of those of 1558. Omitting carpet wools the increase is over “0 percent. From7 to 10 per cent more woolen goods were also imported in 1889 than in 1888, and had it not been for the extremely high prices prevailingin HKurope, where the wool and woolen industries have been booming for nearly five ears past. the experience would have been still more disastrous to this country. As it was, there were 72 failures in the wool and woolen trade in 1889 with liabilities of over 1 the ,000,000, or about three times the amount of 1888. The future of the large stocks of wool in all the leading markets depends on the prices that will be obtained for the new — 2 wooiens, for which manufacturers are now trying io make contracts, With two open winters it is hard to secure advances on last year's prices, wl h were based on the abundant stock: of cheap wools secured during the 3 en. The comparatively stoc in their hands are high-priced. "The present situation therefore a ting one, The de- ciston of the Freasury — raising the duty on wor teds to a level with woolens has helped things alittle; while the high prices of tne choicest Australian wools abroad has caused an advance on the small percen 11 ofsimilar stock in this country. If prices will only up abroad and importations of goods decline. holders of wool are hopeful that manufacturers will secure the necessary advance on manufactured goods, and thus be able to pay bet ter prices for the raw material.

From the New York Tribune. One of Prof. Rarebit’s brothers says again, and has long enjoyed immunity in saying, thatthe dollar mark 8 is a contraction of U. S. Well, he has enjoyed his fun long enough. Our American dollar, whether it is or is not 80 called because a coin something like it was made in Joachimsthal in Germany (whence Joachimsthaler, next thaler, then daler, and finally dollar) in 1516, was borrowed by ua in 1792 directly and avowedly from Spain. Jef- ferson recommended it as the unit of the decimal coinage, and Congress expressly en- acted that It should be of the weight and fine- ness of the Spanish milled dollar, as then current. Well, the Spanish milled dollar was called by the ‘Spaniards a piastra, or peso, being. in fact, the ‘*plece of eight“ (that is, eight rens) that bas delighted us ali in every tale of adventure on the Spanish main from Raleigh to Stevenson, inciusive, via Capt. Kidd and Charles Kingsley. And the Spanish merchant and accountant wrote its name $ before we did, perhaps meaning to cross a P, and perhaps to cross an 8, just as the Briton crosses bis £. And 80, dear Pro- fessor, $no more means U. 8. than means British Lion. A Numerous Family. There are some good-sized families in Maine to-day, but probably none so large as one mentioned in the historles of old colonial days. It is told on the authority of Cotton Mather at the first royal Govervor of Boston was eofafamily of twenty-six children, and was born in the woods of Maine near the mouth of the Kennebec In 1651. His mother wae left a widow when he was a child, and is said to have had all she could do to provide for the wants of herfamily. It is hoped that when the Governor 8 $100,000, a knivhthood and a goblet valu at $6,000 as a reward for finding a Spanish treasure- ship that had gone tothe botiom half a century before he re- membered his motber and made ber last days easier than her earlier ones had been.

The question of the possibility of curing tuberculosis of the larynx was discussed at the International Congress of Laryngology re- cently held in Paris. M. Schnitzler of Vienna is positive that tuberculosis of the larynx can be cured when- ever it is possible to transform the septic a nleerations into asep‘ic ulcerations. these ulcerations are superficial they must be treated by astringents and by mild and light cauterizations. If they are deep it is necessary to destroy the diseased tissue with a curette, or with the gaivano-cautery, using at the same time antiseptic substances. As an angwsthetic to quiet the pain of tuber- culosis of the larynx he recommends mor- phine and cocaine;as astringents the acetate of lead and phosphate of lime are most to be advised; as antiseptic substances the best are carbolic acid, Peruvian balsam and iodoform. In general terms the way in whichthe treat- ment is to be applied is as follows: The panes Is required to inhale an emul- sion of Peruvian balsam, to which is added some astringent substance; at the same time local applications should be made in the larynx with the same Peruvian balsam, com- bined with alcohol, oll and a little pepper- ment. Some collodion can likewise be added, — it has both a drying action and isolates the diseased surface, while the reruvian balsam is antiseptic and diminishes irritation. The action of the Peruvian balsam is, > Schnitzier’s opinion, quite extraordinary; lessens the swelling and the secretions, 24 F erates the infiltretion and favors the healing up of the ulcerations. Besides this, it lessens the pain and the dysphagia—that "is to gay, the difficuity In swallowing. The conclusion to be drawn ts that in the treatment of tuberculosis of the lungs we must not be led Into any ep eas either optimistic or pessimistic. It can be cured sometimes, but it almost always can be relieved. M. Heryng of Warsaw also believes in the curability of the ulcerations of the larynx in tuberculosis, but in his judgment no remedy |, can be compared with lactic acid, and the sur- gical treatment by the curette gives marvei- ous results. In his opinion one patient ont of three can be cured. Unfortunately he adds that be cannot guarantee that these re- coveries will be permanent ones, in which case is he authorized lu using the word re- covery? Are they not rather simple Improve- ments? M. Robrer of Zurich praises very highly in the treatment of tuberculous ulcerations of the larnyx local applications of a preparation ae 1 per cent of cocaine and of an- pyrin. M. Moure of Bordeaux is rather sceptical. Hethinks that you can effect cures by the different methods according to the case, and that sometimes patients get well without treatment. There is no treatment that can be called specific, and sometimes the remedy is worse than the disease, as is proved dy cer- tain cases of tuberculous laryngitis that have clearly been made worse by the lactic.acid treatment. This discussion seems to prove that the use of Peruvian balsam combined with collodion is a treatment which is astep in advance over former methods, and which seems have a numberof their drawbacks. a be recommended, and should be tried.

New Kore, Jan. 2.—The down-town shops of the EdYaon Electric Iiluminating Co., In Pearl street, were burned this morning. The current generated upon the dynamos in the shop suppiies 18,000 incandescent lights in the down-town district, most of which burn all day in the banks and offices velow One Hundredth street. All of them went out at 6:15 o’olock. By shifting the source of supply, Supt. Smith hoped to have them all righted before noon. The fire broke out at 6:07 a. m. in the dynamo room. It gutted the buildings Nos. 255 and 257 Pearl street, and resisted the utmost efforts of the firemen for an hour. They succeeded, however, in keeping it with- n the walls of the factory bnilding. Travel on the East Side elevated railroad lines was suspended for several hours, the firemen holding possession of the tiack in front of the burning building and fighting the flames from the iron structure. The loss to the Edison Co. is put at $100,000. It is covered by insurance in various companies amounting to $50,000.

No Trace of the Little Ones Found—The Search for Dr. E. R. Comes and Sis Sister Sallie Unavailing—Attempt to Secure a Warrant for the Doctor’s Ar- rest Under United States Laws. Areward of $500 has been offered by Mrs. Coates and her friends for information as to the whereabouts of ber children, Emma and Mamie, abducted by their father, Dr. E. H. Coates. The children had gone to visit their father at his request and in compli- ance with an order of court under which Dr. Coates was entitled to their society for two days out ofeach month. They were absent one week yesterday, and, as was fully told in the Post-DIsPaTCH, yesterday morning Mrs. Coates received 4 letter from the children’s father informing her that they would not be returned to her. She had grown uneasy over the length of their stay away from her home, and had instituted a search forthem. They had been taken from ber house by Miss Sallie Coates, the children’s aunt. She said she was living at Twenty-second and Olive streets, and it was supposed the children wore to spend Christmas with her and there sect heir father, who is now located at Mont- gomery City, Mo., practicing dentistry. The search for * MISS SALLIE COATES inthe neighborhood of Twenty-second and Olive streets proved unavailing. She was not known about there and notraceof her could be found in any otber part of the city. The letter from Dr. Coates convinced Mrs. Coates that she had been deceived. She is prostrated bythe shock of her loss, and was to-day still unable to speak of her former husband’s action without great emotion. The police were notified of the abduction imme- diately after the letter was read yesterday, and acareful search was instituted for Miss Sallie Coates. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy of St. who are associeted with Airs. in business, are looking after detalis of the search for her. This morning Mr. Murphy visited United States District Attorney Reynolds and sub- mitted the letter from Dr. Coates, received by Mrs. Coates yester- ay. The District Attorney was asked ifthe letter was mailable matter, Mr. Murphy's advisors being of the opinion that it was abusive and scurrilous, therefore non- mallable. The District Attorney took the matter under consideration. If he deoldes that the letter IS ABUSIVE AND 8SCURRILOUS a warrant will be issued tor Dr. Coates’ rest. The letter is certainly abusive and there are scurrilous allusions to Mrs. Coates’ lawyers. MRS. COATES SAYS that she was deceived by Miss Sallie Coates— ‘‘she quite threw me off guard. Every time she came to see me she was friendly and nice, and seamed to sympathize with me. She took a great interest in the children, and made many inquiries as to their welfare. hen the children went to see Dr. Ooates before under the order of court they were returned ontime. The order was made last October. They saw him that month and in November. A week ago last Saturday Miss Coates came for them. She said she lived at 2209 Olive street and wanted to take them there. She .wanted to have them with her s long as possible before leaving for Oaljfornia, where she expected to go soon after hdr marriage to aMr. Ray. She me to Ipt her keep the children ears I consented.

John Wannamaker, Postmaster-General of the United States, entered his private office atthe national capital and smiied a cbeery yxood morning to his private secretary. Taking off his silk hat—one of the $4.95 lot, corner Chestnut and Mulberry, great bargain —he placed it on the top peg of the rack.

The corner twenty-five feet was formerly occupied by Smithers & Wagoner’s undertaking establishment. Sinee that firm moved out the place has deen remodeled, and it is now occupied us a stove store. This corner twenty-five feet was bought for $60,000 through Fisher & Oo. 's agency, October 21, 1888. Two years prior to that the owner had bought the twenty- five feet adjoining on the inside for $22,000, and when the corner was purchased later, quite a flourish was made about con- templated improvements, the con- struction of a grand eight or ten- story salesroom, etc. From this it will be seen that the premises have a frontage of fifty feet and that the aggregate purchase price for the two parcels was $72,000. This Olive street property has great rental value, consequently the income from it is large, and a very rich percentage upon the comparatively small investment. Immedi- ately opposite to the site the Bell Telephone building is now in course of construction and many other circum- stances have occurred within the past year to enhance the value of that particular corner, which has been disposed of at an advance of $78,000 above THE PURCHASE PRICE. Several efforts were made to see the owners of the premises, but upon being informed of the reporter’s mission the parties withheld allinformation and refused to be seen or in- terviewed. It is, nevertheless, a fact that the price paid is a great adyance on Olive street values. The highest price ever paid for any site west of Ninth street was $2,000 a footand that was paid for this particular property at the northwest corner of Tenth street. It is well-known that the ownars — oe 4 — to sell, and really ad no idea of parting with the perty, but the offer of 33,000 a foot for Sho whole fifty feet, an advance f $78,000 upon what they paid an average of less than three years ago, was a temptation that coald not be rejected.

MISS KATE DREXEL’S WORK IN THE ORDER OF MERCY. ; The Fermer Philadelphia Heiress Pray- ing for and Nursing the Suffering Vioc- tim of a Natural Gas Explosion—Sister Catherine in the Order to Stay. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaton. ITTSBURG, Jan. 2,—As dropped her mantle of ae an ambulance dash- ed through the main gate of Mercy Hospi- pital. an electric bell sounded its warning note, and stretcher and bear its almost insensible bur- canvas, was avictim of a natural gas ex- plosion. From his waist up the flame bed encircled him, and the physicians picked bits of charred cloth pulled away. Quickly lotions were applied to the blistered surface and bandages were wound around the body, handsand arms. A padded mask of white cotton was fastened ghastiy head-piece were two holes over the eves and an aperture over the mouth. Medi - cines were laid out and on a card were writ- should be administered. The physician’s work was done. The surgeon’s assistants gathered up the sharp scissors that had been used to cut parts of-cloth from shreds of flesh. The attendants brushed up charred remnants from the floor and then followed the house physiciatii from the room, where the odor of burnt flesh permeated everything and jSined its sickening smell with the fumes of antisevtics and healing lotions. SISTER CATHERINE They left the patient groaning in his agony, a horrible sight in his hideous mask, but they did not leave him alone. Standing at the foot of the bed, her head bowed, was a woman who had quietly entered the apartment as the physicians had left. She was dressed in the garb of the Order of Mercy. As the door closed she walked quietly around to the side of the bed and, having examined the medicines, she turned to the patient. His chest was heaving with each heart-rending groan, for the pow- erful sedatives administered had not yet over- come the tortures of fre. The woman by the bedside looked with pitying glances at the man, who moaned in agony. Her round face was inexprossibly sad, and her eye- lashes parted with tears of sorrow. She could: not soothe the sufferer with even a hand-clasp, so bandaged was he. She coul only watch and pray, and with her fair hands clasped on the counterpane Sister Catherine sunk upon ner knees and called upon God in his mercy to relidVe the poor victim of his agony. As her prayer was finished the man’s breathing became more regular, and as Sister Catherine rose to her feet she saw that a deep stupor bad 1. been granted the pa- tient.

Then at last the wel- come bed was reached, and as the hours of the new year grew this new sistepht the Order of Mercy laid herself UPON A HUMBLE COUCH. Outside in the city all the world was making merry. In Philsdelphia, her former home, hundreds of her old friends were seeing the old year out and the new yearin. Had Miss Kate Drexel wisbed she could have danced with the handsomest man in the Kast as the clock announced the close of another year. In a warm room, decorated with the choicest flowers, fragrant with their perfume, brilliant with illumination and the dresses of the occu- pants, Miss Drexel, the beautiful girl whose signature to a check for $2,000,000 would make it sterling, might have waltzed to the most entrancing music. But duty, asshesaw it, called -her elsewhere. Possibly, through her mind flitted a panorama of other scenes mingied with the picture of suffering she had witnessed at Mercy Hospital. Before the break of day yesterday morning, while the merry makers were getting their beauty sleep“ after a night jollity, Sister Catherine rose, dressed, and with a hundred other members of her chosen order, descended to the chapel. There her sweet voice rose in song and then repeated the praises to God and the supplications to the Virgin. After an hour’s communion with the saints, the sisters were called to breakfast. New Year’s day le a holy day in the Catholic Church, and Sister Catherine, with the others at the convent, spent it as a day of rest. Rest meant a relaxation from the studies of the sisters’ busy life. A walk was taken in the afternoon, and several hours were spent in the chapel, where, surrounded by chaste marble images, Sister Catherine communed with her Savior and those who were IN HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE. When, on November 7, Miss Kate Drexel stepped into the ante-room at the Webster Avenue Chapel,threw off a rich dress of white satin and donned the coarse habiliments she now wears as asign that she bas given her life to God, it had not been definitely decided where she snould serve him. Now, however, it is known that her errands of mercy will be among the Indians of the far West, and after two years’ — she will leave Pitts. durg. In the meanwhile her time will be about equally divided between the Webster Avenue Convent and Mercy Hospital. At the former place religious studies will be the order ofthe hour spent within its walls; at the latter she will minister to the wants ofsuffering humanity and do the drudgery that the light of religion makes a holy task to the Sisters of Mercy. Already several patients in Mercy Hospital bless the name of Sister Catherine, and a young French girl almost reverences her. This girl from a foreign land was taken to Mercy Hospital ina horrible con- dition. Her body was covered with sores and blood poison threatened her life. Only careful nursing and constant watch- ing can save her,’’ said the physician. The disease was infectious. It was a loathsome case to handle and no one was assigned to the room where the sufferer lay. This was understood to mean that vol- unteers were called for. Sister Catherine atonce sttepped forward and took charge of the patient. This was her firstcase. Hourly for the firstfew days she bathed those run- ning+sores and administered the necessary medicines, Then, as success crowned her efforts, she urged the comforts of ae gt upon the poor bed-ridden creature, and as she soothed the brow of the sufferer she told how Godin his mércy promised to save, and urged the patient to look heavenward. And so, when, after afew days of work at that bed-side, SISTER CATHERIND was called to another, the physician found that his patient was nearly well, and the priest held out the bapa of welcome to another who has given hersek to the work of God. It is Impossible to say whether Miss Drexel is happv in her new life, but those who have seen her since she took up the burden say that her face expresses perfect contentment. A sister ofthe order was asked how Miss We know no Miss Drexel,’’ she said, It you mean Sister Catherine, she looks as we all do. Unless you were very well acquainted with her you would not know her should she enter that door. Why should she be distinguished from any of the rest of us? She is but a sister of the Order of Meroy.’’ A statement from apparently good authority is that Sister Catherine, after her two years of study and work, will take her $2,000,000 and with it erect schools and public hospitals in the far West. This rumor was neither affirmed or denied by Church dignitaries; they were — r K subject. All r received was, She is only a of the Order of Mercy.’’ * or ot She, the Ts 7 N Beatrice by . Haggard.

The Heaviest Rainfall Ever Known in St. Louis—Washouts Along the River Banks Trains Again Running as Usual—A Cold Wave Headed for This Section of the Country. HE heavy rains of yesterday aud the night before caused some inconvenience to travelers on the Iron Mountain yoad, between St. Lous and Sulphur Springs. In consequence of the ‘sdryness of the soil “~ and rocks on the pre A ANiisides of the cuts along | Foe BRI river bank, the * = udden heavy rain , Feaused the loosening “ofa number of huge boulders, some of them weighing hun- dreds of tons each, which were impending on the sides of the bluff. These rolled down upon the tracks of the Iron Mountain road, bringing tons of debris and smaller boulders with them and in some places burying the tracks completely out of sight. There were a number of these small landslides but the trainmen were on the look- out for such things and were very careful in running. The trains which left here last night were detained UNTIL THIS MORNING and last night’s trains did not get into St. Louis until this morning. The steamer Idle- wild took a few of the passengers from the de- layed trains and brought them to St. Louis. A large gang of men were at once set to work to clear away the debris and this morn- ing the tracks were again ready for trafiic, although it was necessary to preserve due caution in Te because ofthe softness of the soil in some places which made the tracks settle slightly. There is no fear of any further landslides now, although a force of men is atrolling the Soy yes portion of the road ive the alarm in case of any obstruction on the track. The officials of the road state that the last rain was the heaviest ever known in this sec- tion of the country. The river rose rapidly, but this morning the waters are rapidly sub- siding again. A number of minor accidents to roads and railroad tracks have also been reported, and some bad washouts along the river banks. THE RAINFALL from midnight Tuesday until last midnight in St. Louls measured 8 7 inches. a Territory, Western Arkansas and Southwest- ern Missouri. Fort Smith’s rainfall was only 30-100 ofan inch for the twenty-four hours andthe same is the record of Springfield, 0. Lieut. Day of the Signal Service predicted A COLD WAVE for the States traversed bythe Missouri Pacific andthe Missouri, Kansas & Texas railways yesterday. Kansas, Nebraska, Indian Terr!i- tory, Arkansas and ‘Missouri were visited by the wave and to-day its force is spreading. The Lieutenant said this morning: ‘‘Llook for a little more rain at this station and lower temperature to- night. Last night a bulletin arrived from Washing ton containing an order to holst the cold wave slanal, and information that the temperature would fall at this station to 15 deg. by the morning of January 3. Though the rainfall was not phenomenal its wide extent had the effect of raising all streams in the vicinity phenomenally. The Riyer Des Peres rose to the dignity of its name, filled. its narrow banks, spread over all the lowlands on its course within the city limits, and caused much damage. The low land along it in Forest Park was under water, as were also several of the older bridges. IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTIONS _ along the Missouri Pacific, Howards, Chelten- ham and Clifton Heights, the river being out of its banks caused considerable damage. The site on which the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Co. proposes to build its new iron works was under water last evening. Farther south at several points the overflow from the Meramec River reached nearly to the River Des Peres flood,and roads as well as garden lands were under water. The gauge at the foot of Market street this morning showed the Mississippi had risen 1 1-10 feet in the preceding twenty-four hours. This is a considerable rise, but will be far exceeded to-day.

THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO MURDER FATHER KELLY AT ONEIDA, X. v. The Priest Summoned to His Door in the Dead of the Night and Murderously As- saulted—Escape of the Assassin—A Fre- vious Attempt to Poison Father Kelly— The Affair a Mystery. BV Télegraph to the Poast-DIsPaTcr. ONEIDA, N. v., January 2.—The life of Rev. Father James A. Kelly of St. Patrick's Chureh, this city, was attempted during the early hours of yesterday morning. The assassin was only prevented from accomplishing mur- der by the loud ourcries of the wounded man. After striking the first blow he fied in the darkness. This is the second attempt to do away with Father Kelly within three months. The first attempt was by poisoning. The affair offers no possible solution, in spite of the factthat detectives have been working upon it for some time past. It has been said that there is a woman in the case, but there is nothing in the pastor's known associations to confirm the supposi- tion. According to the story of the assault, Father Kelly was aroused about 3:3 in the morning by a summons on his door. He hastily drew on his clothing and descended to the hallway. In answertoaquery the stran- ger outside said that the priest’s services were desired at a deatu- bed, and asked to be ad- mitted. Father Kelly unbolted the door and opened cautiously to get a glimpse at the stranger. At this juncture the latter threw his weight against the door, forcing it inward and gaining ry partiai entrance to the hall. At the same time he struck Father Kelly a blow on the head with a heavy instrument. The forcing of the door bad prepared him for the attack, and the fact that the priest saw the blow coming and dodged promptly, saved his life. If the weapon had struck him squarely his skull would have been crushed. At it was, the blow was a glancing one and made an ugly scalp wound. Father Kelly grappied with his assailant and ’ CRIED ‘‘muRDER.’’ The assassin, by an effort, disengaged himself and took to his heels, In the seufile he dropped his weapon. Father Kelly, weak from the loss of blood and the shock of the ex- citement, sank to the floor. ened housekeeper found bim. by the noise she descended to the hall.

He could give no re for the diabolical attempt on his life, nor b he any suspicion as to the poisoner’s identity. His tite wan only saved bythe fact that. drank but little of the arsenic-po soned wine and the promptness with which antidotes were dministered. Father Kelly did not drain the red cup, and it required but little effort on bemist’s part to discover the arsenic retpained, as as he wine ‘in the bottle, For several months Father Kelly has been in receipt of alarge number of letters contain the most shameful charges. Prominent mem- bers of St. Patrick's parish received similar —~ 2 ‘ letters.

waaay BASHKIRISEFF” PUT INTO SMALL - COMPASS. The Diary of a Strange Girl Who Had a Thirst for Fame—An Extraordinary Ex- hibition. of Feminine EKgotism—Epitome of the Book That Gladstone Says Is Without a Parallel. LADSTONE, in the Nineteenth Century Mag- azine, has boldly pro- nounced the diary of Marie Bashkirtseff ‘‘a — book without a par- 777 , Allel.““ It has certainly —— attracted widespread and increasing .atten- tion, and has become in’ müäby alrtles the book of the season. It is intensely interesting as the monograph of a passion, but it is long, too long, perhaps for the casual reader. The Post-DISPATCH therefore presents herewith not a review of this remarkabie book, but an epitome, a condensation of it, made for these columns by a well-known literary professor. „MARIE BASHKIRTSEFF’’ CONDENSED. Year 1873, when the fair writer was 13 years old: Yesterday Isang Santa Lucia.’’ My friends were so delighted they all embraced me frantically. It causes so profound an emotion to be adniired for something more than one’s dresses. Iwas made for triumph and emotion, It God would only preserve, strengthen and develop my voice I should en- joy the triumph for which I long. Llove the Duke, put I cannot tell him. grant the Duke may be mine. I willlove him and make him happy. Iwill be happy too. I Will do good to the poor. I'am not ugly; Iam even pretty. I havea coquettish manner that is very becoming. I am a modest girl. I know how to conduct myself towards men. Jam to havea horse. Did any one ever see A little girl like me with'a race horse? What a creaturelam! How happylam! Iwill give half my money to the poor. 1874, 14 Years OLD.—Love or a misfortune develops the character. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, but—I compare myself to a lake that is frozen in its depths— nothing arouses or interests me in my depths. 2 & *& My voice, my treasure, has come back. Next rea! sovereignty comes the sovereignty of song. The sovereignty of beauty comes after this. His soul soars above itin a cloud. THINKS NO ONE WORTHY OF HER, Nothing in‘the world is lost or destroyed. if one ceases to love a man one transfers her af- fection to a dog or a piece of furniture and loves with the same ardor, only differently. If I loved a man I should never allow him a Single word with another. ISshall not find such a love. Fortunately or unfortunately I esteem mself such atreasure that I think uo one is worthy of me.

Hereakter no meanness will grieve me, no base action some. God is in the heav- ens, I am on the earth. I shall take note of the ‘vulgar things in order to elevate myself by contrast. Iam no longer disheartened by the meannesses round which men’s lives re- volve, which make them fight, devour each other, tear each other to pieces like hungry ogs Jam going to elevate myself. How? Dreams? I need eclat, fame. If I had been born ‘ieee of Bourbon I should not be more arrogant than I am. This thought keeps me in the right path, and will prevent me from turning my gaze for one in- stant from the luminous star toward which I move. Idon’t move at all just at present, but it is a pity to spoil so fine a sentenee. In my moments of wild longing for great- ness common objects appear unworthy of at- tention. Whatcan be more stupid, more vile than common bumanity? Nothing, nothing. Humanity was created for ——I was going to say perdition. SHE YEARNS TO BE GREAT. I want to be great. Just now I fellon my knees, sobbing ‘‘*——— —— — God doesn’t hear me, then.“ Iory loud enough. Miser- able me! Shall Jever find a famished, beaten dog in the street, a cart horse, a miller’s ass, a church mouse, an unfrocked priest, a poor devil of any kind sufficiently sorrowful, miser- able, depressed to be compared tome? To be compeiled to lead a lite like mine, with such acharacter as mine! I haven't even pleas- ures suitable to my age. I haven't even the resource that an American girt has—I don’t even dance. * A AT SWEET 16. 1876: Nothing is lost. Every human being loves, but not alwayagiM® same object.

Toseethat a thing is beautiful, and to understand why it is beautiful, that isa great happiness. 1881, TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD.—I have a real passion fort my books. lonly possess 700 vol- umes, but I count them, I! arrange them, I fondly gaze at them.

NOT YET TWENTY-FOUR. v midnight at the theater, with my watch in my hand, I made a wish in one single word—sonorous, beuutiful, intoxicating fame! I adore the genius of Bastien-Lepage. Yes, lam aware that I have no girl friend who loves me or whom llove. Noone takes such intense delight as 1 doin all things—art, mu- sic, painting, books, society, dress, luxury, gayety, solitude, tears and laughter, love, coid, heat, nature, the snowsof winter, the rains of uutumn, the summer starlit nights. Everything is either sublime or tnteresting. Ilong to see everything, grasp everything, embrace cverything, to enter into the heart of everything, and to die exhaling my being in an ecstasy of joy at solving this last mystery ofall, the ending ot all things, or the begin- ning of things divine. If I had been a man I would have conquered Europe. Asa woman Ihave exhausted my- self in tirades against fate and in eccen- tricities. Lam consumed by an inward fire. Iwould be agcuiptor, a writer, a musician. Since 1 was 4 years old I have longed for glory, for grandeur, for splendor. Ialways had as- pjJrations to win greatnest of some kind. My dolls were always kings and queens. If this journal were destroyed nothing wouid be left of me—nothing, nothing, noth- ing. To live, to have no more ambition, to suffer, to weep, to struggle, and in the end to be forgotten, as if I bad never existed—this is the thought that terrifies me. Shall 1 tell you something? Well, I am neither an artist nor a sculptor nor a wusi- cian; neither woman, girl fior friend; my pur- pose in life is to observe, to reflect and to analyze. Aglance, a face, a sound, a pleas- ure, a d is weighed, examined verified, class ed, noted—tnen only my mind is at 8 is dying! This is a new sensation, to see aman whois under sentence of death.

AND SOME OF THE IMPORTANT WORK THEY WILL HAVE TO DO. — The Deputy Sheriffs Are Now Summoning the Men Who Will Keep the Counsel of Their Fellows and Their Own in the Boodling and Anti-Trust Law Inquiries— A Number of Important Criminal Cases UDGE NORMILE of the Criminal Oourt will on Mondsy next select the twelve men who as a body will consti- tute the Grand- jury for the Jan- uary term. The names have not, however, been made public. Last Saturday Judges * Withrow and Fish- * ® of the Circuit ~. Court examined ae — and approved ot Ao “~ the names of forty men who had been selected by Jury Commis- sioner Carlisie. These forty names were given tothe Sheriff for the service of the regular processes. There is plenty of work for the January Grand-jury. In addition to investigating the boodlers concerned in the robber gas bill which Mayor Noonan vetoed, the Anti-Trust law will be discussed and action taken in the case against Edward Alearn and others now charged to the Grand-jury with murder in the second degree in the kill- ing of young Thomas E. Jackson, who met bis death in a prize fight at Daly Bros.’ saloon some six months ago, THE DECEMBER GRAND-JURY having so provoked Circuit Attorney Ashley Clover that he took the matter out of the foreman’s hands, refusing to allow the jurors to indict one of the defendants without in- dicting all. Then, too, there will be the case against Paul James McBride for the kill- ing of Fireman Frank Loftus, Wm. Gleason for the entirely unprovoked stabbing of a companion, in whose abdomen he buried a knife which he carried concealed in his sleeve, and Sther cases of almost equal importance. The past month has been full of sensational burglaries, robberies, assaults and frauds, most of which matter Assistant Cireult Attorney Wm. Lachritz will lay before the members of the jury. Cireuit Attorney Clover does not say much about what he is going to do. He has severa! times hinted that he had some „„ back numbers’’ as he calls them which he may spring on the community through the in- strumentality of the January Grand- jury. There is something for THE CRIMINAL COURT to do also. Beginning Monday, January 6, the court will be in session six dayseach week up to Tuesday, January 28. As is customary Saturday will be devoted to consideration of the law docket and motions. Five murder cases are docketed. Henry Henson, charged with murder in the first degree will probably be tried on January 27. Henson is charged with the murder of his wifewhom heis alleged to have killed in a South Second street boarding- house. Robert Hubbard may be tried in January. If he fails to secure an attorney his case will go over to February 10. Hubbard isa young negro who fatally cut one James Smith in June last. The charge against Henry Lange is one of murder in the second degree in the kiiling of Patrick J. McDermott whom he is alleged to have killed in October, 1888, by shooting him inthe bead. His case is set for February 3. Joseph Price and Thomas N. Martin are eharged with murder inthe second degree in the killing of Wm. Ellis. Price is Martin’s adopted son, while the deceased was Martin's tenant. The two elder men had quarreled about the payment ofrent, and finally came to blows. Young price interfered, and, it is charged, struck Ellis over the head with a rock. Ellis’ skull was fractured and he died almost immdiatately. John Lawton is also charged with murder in the second degree, Lawtun isthe ex-police- man who, inthe discharge of Wis duty, he claims, shotand instantly killed a colored boy who was violating the law by dumping a quantity of rubbish on a vacant lot in South St. Louis. The killing took place in 1885. F. W. Stlegmever, Frank 3. Mason, Louls Resbach, alias Griesbach, James Manley, three, and James P. Fairley, will be tried for embezzlement; Edward A.

Prof. Cook of Harvard College is one of the most popular instructors in the university. Every freshman has a course in chemistry under the venerable scientist. But if the course were not prescribed it is likely that his classes would befully as large as they now are. An hour in his experiment-room is like attending an entertainment. He makes things lively in the most approved ‘‘college-celebra- tion’’ fashion with his explosions, burning chemicals and other fireworks experiments. The professor has spent a good many years Over his crucibies, retorts, and receivers, and his hand trembies visibly when he picks up ay of his apparatus or Iinstru- ments.

Eas DR. EDWARDS DISCUSSES AMERICA. She Is Delighted With Everyihing Except New York. From the Baltimore Sun. Miss Amelia B. Edwards, the famous En- glish woman, who bas been lecturing at the Peabody Institute on ‘‘Ancient Egypt, was interviewed yesterday by a reporter of the Sun. „What has surprised me in America,“ she said, is the luxury and splendor of the pub- lie buildings which lhave observed in great numbers in the cities I have thus far visited, either completed or in the course of erection. This extravagance is everywhere much greater than had anticipated. The very fact thut so much marble is used to such wood advantage in these edifices is not the least cause for my wonder. Such a small place—we should call it a provincial -town— as Hartford, Conn., has a magnificent and beautiful State- house, whose architecture is composite, comprising the elements of the Renuissance, Italian and Venetian Gothic, all blended together with the most consummate skill. Taken separately. one would expect an incongruous mixture. „„The surprising effects are not confined to one town, nor even to municipal buildings, for I bave noticed that many private dwell- ings, apparently of not wealthy people, are built with such lavishness as we only notice in England among the very rich. „What is most distinctly American are your railroads, more especially those in the city limits, the tramways and the like. The large numbers of what we would call the lower classes, the working peo ie in common, dirty clothes, with whom one comes in frequent and close contact on ferryboats and street cars, and especially their excellent deportment, are agreeable surprises. in England they would be looked on as rather rough customers, whose acquaintance we would not care to cul- tivate. Yet here they are generally gentle in their manners and quite polite. I have beea accustomed, too, to read in your papers jokes about conductors and police, ascribing ee them roughness of manner and savage shar ness of speech; describing them as men who not serüple to be rude, who are proud ane brusque in their replies; on the contrary I have been agreeably surprised in find- ing the reverse to be the case; that they are much more considerate, polite and attentive than are ours at home. These small officials are so different, in fact, from ours that it has occurred to me, judging from locks and be- havior, that they are real gentlemen who have lost their property—all save the diamonds and jewelry on their persons—and have sought out these places fora livelihood. Yes, I know you call everybody a gentieman who L correct in his habits thoughts, actions and demeanor. But what 1 mean isthat men are characterized * such ease of bearing as we consider come from a ood breeding, a college education and the proper employment of leisure; that they have a power for looking after details which busy men of affairs usually forget. It may come from superior educational facilities, but if I mistake not the English schools are greater in number and efficiency than those of the United States. Then, too, in Germany, where education is compulsory, these officials are shockingly brutal and say- age in their treatment. It must be a * of the democratic ideas which make these le not only feel equality with the dest * he land, but which cause them to emulate their good qualities.’’ Miss Edwards said she was delighted with the — advantages of the palace cars on the raliroads, the easy chairs, the tables and other conveniences, In the first-class com- partment carriages of the old country one can ask the guard to purchase bim or her some- thing to eat at the railway stations, but it is far more convenient and pleasant to dine in the car at your leisure, She thought the railroad cars much too hot for comfort, however. What is worse is that the government of the ventilation is very unsatisfactory. A window cannot be opened or closed without inconveniencing a great many all sides. The old-style compart- ment r has a decided advantage over this, not to mention the greater privacy it insures. king of the American 328 ards said she had nosh op- x to make a study of the dailies, ‘'I portupit with am fam however some of the weekly religious re, dhe added, and 28 opinions of of such the 8 Times, hristian etc. They n brilliant editorial r- composed 7 5 +f ye at 6 meri largely questions 8, 5 for a high ‘order of iblicaVecholarship religion 1 but not at lar, — — — —L—/ —— — We will not move our present stock into our new store.

She praised the solid pavements of Baltimore, and said she felt much more se- cure here than in New York in every way. The houses there, she continued, are bullt up on nothing; the thirteen- -story sky- scrapers seem like houses of paper cards, likely to fall at any moment. Electric light wires everywhere cross your path, making accidents extremely liable, and you always feel as ifthe elevated roads were unsafe, and mightcome down on you without warning. New York reminds me of a great soap bubble, and I dread to think what would hap- ree in case of an earthquake. Besides this, found on ull sides nothing but holes of mud, gutters and dirt piles, an endless rush and a block of street traffic. There are so . dangers and the state ofthe highways is suc as to make it tneomprebensible to English eople that enterprising Americans would ong endure it. The nackmen in New York add to one’s difficulties. They are arbitrary in their charges, and in im- posing on you claim that you have no redress. Even more remarkable is the cosmopolitan character of the people, Judging from the the faces on the streets and the names on the signs, not one person in half a dozen is Amer- ican or English.’ Ofthe women’s colleges in this country, Miss Edwards said they were grand experi- ments, almost without parallel jn England. She lectured at Vassar, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr female colleges, and was much surprised at the magnificence of the “yore and the large numbers of students in attend- ance. In herown country women are only educated in the annexes to the universities, and are considered to be on an independent footing. Of the whole number, only the Lon- don and St. Andrew’s Universities and the new Victoria bestew degrees to women. In the rest, such as Oxford and Oambridge, women may, under certain conditions, submit themselves to equivalent examinations to those which bring the men the usual honors. The Government does not give the right to confer degrees to many inatitutions of learn- ing. Shrewsbury Park Land & Improvement Co. Wish everybody a bappy New Year.

COD LIVER OIL, Why and How te Take a Valuable Med- icine. From the Boston Herald. Cod liveroilis,as its name indicates, ob. tained from the livers of codfish. It isan agent which could hardly be dispensed with, being a nourishing tonic of exceeding value.

It Should Be So Prepared As to Be Easily Di- gested. , Much difference of opinion has prevailed In regard to the value of cheese as food, but we are beginning to get at fagts with a better un- derstanding of the relations of the digestive functions to food elements, says Good House- keeping. Cheese has been much lauded by man, because of the great amount of nutritive food elements it contains, and people have been urged indiscriminately to eat it freely, some enthusiaste making the most extravagant claims for it as a health diet. But many people who have sought to follow this counsel find themselves speedly the victims of indigestion and dyspepsia. They would con- sider it little short of treason to charge their disordered digestion to the cheese, but the truth is the cheese is the most probable cause inany such case. Although, so far as its con- stitutents are concerned, cheese is fairly en- me to its fame as a model food, yet in raw cheese these constitutents very aificuit of solution by gestive juicesa—that is, raw cheese is tible to a degree that makes it unaval food except in the strongest and healthiest stomachs, and should not be eaten by any one who finds on trial that it gives his stomach the least discomfort. It is found, however, that cooking the cheese removes this difficulty and makes cheese easy of digeation, und as nutritious as tender meat or more so. Various aloe min have been adopted forthis purpose, from plain broiling, frying or toasting to — most elaborate compound dishes. The ma point is to get the cheese cooked so that the stomach can digest it.

Anew departure, says an exchange, in the way of university education is now under con- sidqgation by the Harvard faculty, with the Bresnocts entirely favorable to its adoption. his is the awarding of the de oe Bachelor of Arts after three years’ study, versa- tion on Tuesday 1 Eliot said t e plan might be adopted by the college at next com- mencement, so that students could enter the new course in the fall. There has been some talk about reducing the four years’ course to two, but President Eliot said the idea was pre- posterous. Inthe further evolution of 1575 innovation it is sald not to be improbable that a man may study wherever he — to be, and by passing the Harvard annu exam ina- tions at Cambridge get a degree just the same oe A students in actual attendance at the college. ‘The Grave Gets Tired Yawning, Seemingly, for certain wretched invalids who toddle feebly along, though always looking as if they were going to die, but omitting to doit. They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but inthe meantime, never having robust health, know nothing Bf the physical enjoyment, the test of that existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenacity. They are always to be found trying to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or pick me up’’ to give a Mp to digestion, or heip the liver.’’ If such misguided folks would resort and adhere to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters it would be well with them. This superb invigorant supplies the stamina that the feeble require, by permanently and every year. acco „ TIME TABLE — Of Trains Running into Un Depot—St. . Louis Time. Except Sunday; W . .

FORT SMITH’S BIG BRIDGE, Jay Gould Has Agreed to Build It—A Splen- did Boulevard. Special Correspondence of the Posr-Disr Arc. FORT SMITH, Ark., Jan. 1.—WhenI reached Fort Smith last night I found the good people radiant with smiles, and when I inquired the cause of this expression of delight, I was in- formed that it was on account of a contract recently closed with Jay Gould whereby tha. railroad magnate is to build the long-talked of bridge across the Arkansas River at this place According to the terms of the contract work is to commence on the bridge on or before the loth of next month and be completed by June 1 of the following year, although it will probably be completed much sooner than that time. It is to be a railroad, wagon and foot bridge, and will cost $500,000. This same contract re- quires the building of round-houses and machine shops forthe Missouri Pacific Rall- road, which will necessitate the employing ofalarge force of hands. Surely the people have cause to smile, that the Kansas & Ar- kansas Valley Railroad, now completed to Coffeyville, Kan., will enter Fort Smith over the bridge and its immediate ex- tension to Gordon, Ark., where it intersects with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain 4 Southern Railroad, is an assured fact. Last summer Gould built handsome and commodious pas- senger and freight depots at this place. and soon work will commence on the big bridge which is to join the two banks at the Arkan- gas and connect Fort Smith withthe fertile valleys, vast plains and rich mines of the great Indian Territory with bands of steel. A GREAT BUILDING BOOM, It is most gratifying to note the vast amount of building that has been done in this beauti- ful bounding border city within the past year. The five-story office block on North Sixth street, the three-story business houses of the Hightower Bros. and Mrs. Wegman on the avenue, and the commodious wholesale house of Thomas H. Barnes on South Second street, are just receiving their finishing touches. The confidence of the people of Fort Smith in the steady and permanent growth of the city is remarkably evidenced by the substantial character of the buildings. The estimates for the new year, based on safe grounds, are more than double the work of the past year. PAVING THE AVENUE. The paving of the avenue with vitrified brick is progressing rapidly and will be completed by the Ist of June. Wheu this is done it will be the prettiest thoroughfare I knowof. The avenue is ninety feet wide, from curb to curb, and the sidewalks are fifteen feet wide. These broad walks and the wide avenue give the town a broad-gauged, handsome appear- ance. ‘‘Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.’’ To-morrow will be the greatest day of the week for saving.

A party of gentlemen who with their wives had occasion to ride down town from near the King's highway, on the Franklin avenu cable, about midnight New Year’s eve, com- plain of the freedom allowed a party of drunken hoodlums, andthe persistency with which the conductor endeavored to herd the respectable passengers like so many cattle. The case as it is deseribed is one of somewhat frequent occurrence. The oar was comfortably crowded,several ladies bein among the passengers, when it was boarde by a party of colored hoodlums. They imme- diately assumed possession of the car, laughed and talked, told vulgar stories and sang vul- gar songs, and trespassed onthe rights of others generally. The conductor was ap- ealed to to make them be qulet or make them eave the car, but he paid no attention what- everto the requests, preferring to keep his distance and crowd the people up against the drunken boodluins as closely as possible. There has always been a great deal of com- potas in this regard ofthe management of he Franklin avenue cable. Beatrice by Rider Haggard.

Cuicaaco, III., Jan. 2.—Frank Farean, a barber, living at 503 Thirty-ninth street, made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to kil his wife yesterday. Failing ip the attempt he cut his own throat with a carving knife, after having inflicted several other bad wounds in different places on his neck and shoulders, and pow lies at his home with injuries that are thought to be fatal. Domestic difficulties are sup to have caused the trouble, although Farean at the aime was under the in! fiuence of liquor. Ingall’s ‘Installment Plan. 1108 Olive, A Fatal Scuffie. BOONVILLE, Mo., Jan. 2.—Yesterday morn- ing a man named Willis was found dead on the farm of G. W. Adams, about five miles 2 where be had been a laborer. . while intoxic 6, he nad a oe SS — e var, 40 ripe ae 3 ‘ ee oy ER 1 eyes gazing half-dreamily From Waverly. Three fair-haired maidens sat together, eagerly discussing asubject. which, from ap- pearances, was of intense interest to all. One leaned eagerly forward, as if in fear of losing a word ofthe conversation; another was speaking rapidly. while asmile lighted up her face and broke through her happy speech; but the third, while evidently as much in- terested as either of the others, sat back in her easy chair, her dainty foot resting upon the polished fender before the grate, and her into the glowing embers. A pretty picture these three daughters of Judge Charmon formed, as they sat in their sitting room just before retiring. „But, my dear Irene, cried Madge, ‘‘why are you so quiet? You do not gppear to be happy. lam sure there is every reason to be proud of such an offer. Irene still kept her eyes bent upon the fire. es, she replied, speaking slowly, weigh- ing each word, I ought to feel it an honor, I know. Iought to think what an honorable an he is, and what a kind husband he would make, but’’—her voice seemed to be as far away as her thoughts—‘‘but I do not.’’ „And why not, dear?’’ tenderly said Clara, the oldest of the three. ‘‘Do you not love him? In that case there is no reason why you should for a moment be troubled with the subject. He may be everything that could be desired, still, if you do not love him, Irene, nothing in the world should make you marry him.*’ : „don't know,’’ replied Irene. I have hardly given myself time to think about him in that light. It was all so sudden. We had just returned from a drive. I was sitting in the hammock and he in a chair beside me. We had been talking of nothing in Particular, when suddenly he said: ‘Miss Charmon, we are good friends, are we not?’ The question was so strange that I was amused at it, but I answered: ‘Yes, Ihope so. Then he arose and stood before me, and said: ‘I should hate to break that friendship through any act of mine. If I speag in error, I fear I may do so. You are young, beautiful and accom- plished, accustomed to having men pay you homage. Ferhaps in your kind treatment of me, you have but generously given me the happiness of ag jpeg the same service, but in doing this Ihave gone further; perhaps Ihave allowed my heart to lead my thoughts ina direction they should not take; perhaps in my passion I have mistaken little deeds of kiridness from you, and imagined tbat some deeper sentiment prompted the action. Be that as it may, Icanno longer conceal my heart. Ilove you. ‘*Oh!’’ uttered Madge, with deep feeling. „And what answer did you make, dear?“ asked Clara, tenderly. don't remember that—indeed, I don’t re- member anything I said, it was all so sud- den, and he looked so handsome and tender. All I know is that in a moment he was at my side, kissing my hands in a most ardent fashion.’’ Another ‘‘Oh!’’ escaped Madge. Hut you really must have given him some encouragement, Irene?“ „es, Isuppose ldid,’’ she replied, with another distant look into the grate. But you do not love him?“ „Perhaps. ‘*What was your answer?“ ‘‘l asked him to wait and he said forever, so long as he once had hope.“ This was too much for Madge. ‘‘Oh!l’’ she cried. It you do not marry him - will myself. He istoo lovely for any- thin S008 after the three girls retired for the night. How many thoughts crowded through Irene’s pretty head, thoughts which had little to do with the man who had this evening of- fered and asked forthe greatest gifts in hu- man power to grant. No, she was thinking of one who, long ago, had been very dear to her. They had been children together. The families ofeach had been wealthy, and they were happy in thelr young love. Suddenly his people lost all, through the reverses of fortune. Gradually their intimacy had ceased. It was witha heavy heart that he had yielded to what he deemed his duty, He was no longer an eligible suitor for the hand of the youngest daughter of Judge Charmon. There were many others who had wealth, and who could offer her a home equal to the one she would leave, while he couid offer her nothing save a loving heart. No, he would not do ber the injustice to take ber from her happy héme, where every luxury surrounded her, No words of love had ever crossed their lips. They had been satisfied to be together, and had never spoken of that deeper passion. How often he had afterward wondered if she had 7 70 cared for him, or whether it was but a childish friendship. This was long ago, fully four years; she was but a child at the time, but the germs of love had been sown, & deeper love than she had supposed. He had gone away. At first she wrote to him, but gradually his replies had ceased, until the correspondence stopped. It was two years since she had heard from him; she did noteven know where he was, Gradually his image had faded from her heart, not dead, but dimmed by time, till she only recollected him with a sort of hazy recollection of a time when she had been very happy. Never had the remembrance been brought so distinctly to heras when Charles Reynolds this evening asked her for her heart. Then asudden flood of tender recol- lections dimmed ter thoughts; she hesi- tated, faltered in her speech, and he, mis- taking her embarrassment for consent, had rapturously ciasped her hands in his’ and ured forth his ann and now hat it was all over, th she had compro- mised herself to the extent of allowing him to believe she cared for him, her thoughts re- turned to the time when she had unwittingly lalded ber heart to another.

He grasped them by tbe bridle, but they threw bim from his feet. He clung bravely on, drag- ging along the pavement. Suddenly, to the horror of the beholders, he fell below the horses’ feet, and the carriage passed over his body. The team was finally stopped without further accident. A crowd soon gathered around the courageous young man, and he was carried into a neighboring drug store, but life was almost extinet, and before a doctor ar- rived he breathed his last. The horse had stepped on his neck and the carriage crushed his body. The tragedy is particularly sad, since the unfortunate young nan was a most promising one, having raised himself from want to his present position of responsibil- ity. His name was Clarence Harper.’’ As Judge Charmon read the name a choking sound escaped Irene, and her head sunk as Clara rushed to her. Dear Irene!“ She could say no more, She enw that Irene and Clarence had been very dear friends, but she did not know that it was his image which Irene bad carried in her heart for so long. „„How terrible! Poor Clarence! exclaimed the sympathetic Madge. Irene raised her head. No tears fell from those sad eyes; her face was ashy white. She gazed vacantly before her. Come, dear, entreated Clara, drink a little coffee; you will feel better. It was very gad, and so sudden. He was sucha good boy! a The girls ate their breakfast in silence. When the meal was ended they withdrew to their rooms. Half an hour afterward Clara heard a knock at her door. She opened it, and Irene entered. She was dressed in black, and her veautiful face was coloriess. In her hand she held a packet of letters; these she held out to Ciara. „Read these, Clara, she said in a dreary tone, they will explain themselves. She laid the package down and left the room. An hour later Clara entered Irene’s room and found her reclining on her bed. She kiesed her tenderly. „My poor, dear, little sister, she cried, how you have suffered! So noble, so brave! Ab, bappy you might have been!“ She clasped ber arms about the girl, and for the rst time Irene wept. Her tears, so long restrained, burst forth in torrents. Finally her sobs ceased; she raised her tear-stained face to Clara. loved him, Clara!’’ ‘‘I know you did, my dear, and he loved yo i >?

Time, that healer of all griefs, fewon. Six months afterward the engagement of Charles Reynolds and Irene Charmon was announced. They were married, and all the world wished them well. Two years passed happily, and a child was born tothem. Irene called him Clarence, in memory of him whom she had once loved. It was about this time that Mr. Reynolds was taken ill and died. His wife mourned bim deeply, for he had deen a good, true and lov- ing husband. A year afterward she received a pressing request from an aunt, living at a distance, to spend a few months with her. She took her baby boy and started on her journey. It was a beautiful day. Nature seemed to have put on her brightest raiment to bring sunshine to her troubled heart. She pressed the child to her breast, and, for the Urst time in many days, felt the weight of sadness lifted from her. How often she thought of that moment in after years. She was received with open arms. Upon every side she saw the marks of loving ten- derness. After tea they sat beneath the far- * 3 elm tree on the grassy lawn, and watched her boy—such a pretty child. He was now? years old. He had already made the acquaintance of the large house-dog, and was leading him proudly around. The next morning brought letters from home. Clara and Madge would arrive in a week’s time. Whata family reunion, and how happy they would all be! Each day brought new color to Irene’s face, and each moment more peace to her heart. At last the day came for her sisters’ arrival. They were all at the station to meet the trav- elers. Ireneclungto her sisters as if in fear of losing them. Proudly little Clarence marched along with the rest. He was just be- ginning to prattle so as to be understood, and the lavish display of admiration pleased him greatly. That evening Irene’s aunt announced the arrival of a stranger. „Such a nice gentleman! Rather quiet, but such s, pleasant person. We met him quite by accident last summer. He writes me that he is visiting friends across the lake, and may drop in upon us at any moment.’ „Ah, that will be jolly,’’ „Men are always acceptable. Nou must be careful never to ask any ques- tions which would cause him to try to remem- ber any event which has transpired. He met with a severe accident several years ago, and since then has never been able to think of any past event without the greatest anguish. He says it is not a painful feeling, only a * blank from which he can draw noth- ng „How sorrowful!’’ exclaimed Clara. „But you will find bim an excellent com- panion, nevertheless. Irene had been playing with Clarence, and paid little attention to what was said of the stranger. The next morning passed rapidly away, but no stranger appeared. It was 4o'clock, and Irene was sitting alone in the little summer- house overlooking the beautiful lake. Clara had just left her for a book, and Madge volun- teered to amuse Clarence, Suddenly she was aroused from her revery by the sound of her child’s voice: „Me don’t know you, but me ain’t afraid.’’ She heard a low laugh that made her heart stop 2 weet voice!

Vari- ous other bantam anxious to try conclusions with either of them. Saturday last ‘John Kelly of New Tork posted $100 to match Frank McHugh of Cincinnati against either McCarthy or Dixon at 114 pounds, give or take one pound, for astake of $1,000 a side andthe bantam-weight championship belt. McHugh has fought forty-seven batties and bas never been defeated. His challenge is as follows: **I nave challenged Cal McCarthy or George Dixon to meet me in a finish fight, with skin gioves, for $1,000 a side and a purse of suitable roportions, and my backer, Mr. John Kelly, — posted $100 forfeit with Richard K. Fox? I have been anxious to meet McCarthy for over ayearand he has ignored my several chal- lenges. He holds the championship, but 1 claim that he is not entitled to it. Since 1883 I have fought forty-seven batties, and of this number I have won thirty-seven, the remain- der having been declared draws. McCarthy’s record, Ithink, will not look well compared with mine. If McCarthy desires, I will meet him in public with four or five once gloves, for a division of the net gate receipts, or win- ner take all, for that matter. I much prefer meeting him with skin gloves, however, and Tdon’t want any part of the purse which may be subscribed unless win. As a matter of I will meet him any way he with ten men a side, in private, other way. Now, if McCartby really wants to jfizht, Ifwill meet him at the Police Gazetie office at any time he may name to sign articles. Incase McCarthy declines to weet me, the same provisions may govern a match with George Dixon. Ihave come East to get on a match, and now that my money is up, let some of these alleged bantam- weight ot mean come to the front. ‘*‘FRANK MCHUGH.’’ ‘gm Collins, the New York bantam- weight, „ has met some of the best men in his c and who foughtadraw with McCarthy two yekrs ago, and fought a ten- round draw with Kugene Hornbacker last spring, also wants to meet either the champion or Dixon. ‘*T’ll ight this fellow Dixon, said he, for @ purse of $500 in this city or in Boston. If they will fight here, my backer will give the purse, winner to take all, or if I go to Boston, they must guarantee a purse of this amount, Winner take all. To show that Imean busi- YT weights are 3 mess, let me say that I will pay my own SEX . os tothe Hub. II I can't arrange a match meet McCarthy for ten or fifteen rounds in public, winner to take the entire gate receipts.’’ The atom Found skin-glove match between McHugb and Mike Nolan, the English feather- weight, has been declared off, owing to No- lan s inability to get down to 116 pounds with- in the time demanded. Nolan will continue his training, however, and goon with his match with Pat Daly, theftrainer of the Na- tional A. C., which was dropped two weeks ngo; when the McHugh party made their gition. Nolan and Daly willnow meet * about three weeks at 120 pounds, and will robably furnish an excellent entertainment. Nolan 's réputation as a flxhter is established. ie only known as a clever sparrer and ard hitter. His staying qualities have yet to be tested, but Johnny Stuart, the bantam ex- ebampion, who with Jerry Weiss of Ridge- wood has him in training, says he has tested his man and knows bim to be full of grit. ‘‘He has two good hands, said Stuart, aud No- aly lan will know he has been In a fight before Pat gets through with him. Kilrain and Slavin. Frank Stevenson, Jake Kilrain’s friend and backer, states that he will back the Baltimore pugilist against Slavin for $2,500 or $5,000 as soon as he learns Kilrain’s plans. Stevenson thinks Kilrain can beat the Australian handily under London rules. As Sullivan will in all probability decline to fight under rules other than those framed by the Marquis of Queens- berry, there is a possibility of a match de- tween the other two big fellows in the near future. Kilrain is in Mississippi, and is per- fectip willing to meet Slavin. Clifton Meeting. CLIFTON, N. J., Jan. 2. -The races here yes - terday resulted as follows: First race, one mile—J. J.

Poore commanding, passed through this city Tuesday en route to the Mile Square onthe Sioux Reservation. Lieut. Poore has received instructions from Gen. Ruger to remain on the reservation until it is open to settlers by the President and preserve peace and order. It is learned that Lieut. orders from Gen. Ruger are molest those people Who now established at Fort Pierre, but to exclude all others from going on the reservation. The South Pierre boom- ers have decided to go back to.the Mile Square within the next few days and attempt to take the town site by force, if necessary, thinking that if they go on peacefully in the night time the troops will protect them from attack by the half- breeds. Ifthe South Pierre boomers are ejected by the troops it will probably re- sult in other squatters on the Mile Square be- ing driyen off. Excitement is intense.

BRAZIL AS A REPUBLIC. A PREDICTION OF DANGER AHEAD WHICH MAY PROVE SERIOUS. The Leaders of the Revolution Lack Confi- dence in the Peeple—A Government for the People but Not by the Peopie—Bra- zilians Lacking in Self-Reliance and Deliberation—Dom Pedro’s Property. New YORK, Jan. 2.—A Riode Janeiro letter to the Times under date of December 4 says: The immediate future here is assured, but what will happen in the course of a year can- not be safely predicted. There is danger ahead, which may prove to be very serious. A prudent, refiecting man who knows the people can clearly foresee it. Possibly it may be avoided, but the probabilities are most de- cidedly the other way. The men who precipi- tated the revolution lack confidence in the Brazilian people, and probably have over- weening confidence In themselves. They do not believe in the present capacity of the Bra- zilian people for self-government. They are unwilling to trust them with the grave re- sponsibility of constructing the Governmental machinery, nor are they satisfied that its vom- plicated movements can be left to their di- rection. So far as the masses are concerned, these so-called Republican leaders are right. The body of the Brazillian people are not only ignorant but they are without the sober, stable qualities of the Angio-Saxons, and entirely lack that self-reliance and habit of calmly deliberating together and of taking counsel with one another which is inborn in the English-speak- ing race and constitutes one of its grandest qualities. The Brazilians are not a pure bred race, and while not without intellectual quickness, they do not have se may be termed the MORAL EQUIPOISE OF INTELLECT. They are impulsive, easily moved, quick to respond to appeals, but without tenacity of purpose. These characteristics distinguish as well the favored few who heretofore pos- sessed, under the Empire, the privilege of suffrage. Brazilian politics might be aptly described as pyrotechnical. The sincerity of men now in control cannot be ques- tioned; neither can their general honesty, nor the patriotism of their purposes, but they be- lieve that the body of the people neither know what free institutions mean, nor are prepared to exercise intelligently their rights under them. 80 far as the army and naval officers are concerned, they doubtless esteem them- selves superior to their confreres,jthe Repub- lican statesmen. The pussession of arms has a tendency to develop this description of self-assumed superiority, and men accus- tomed to command their inferlors are apt to believe that they alone comprehend the science of ruling society In general. The provisional Government of Brazil is purely and simply military rule. It was oret- ated by army and navy officersj and is domin- ated dy them. It is all powerful simply be- cause it is backed. by the army and navy. At the same time, it is true that everybody ac- cepts the fact that a re-establishment of the Empire is impossible, It is universally admitted thata Republicis all that there is to hope for. The all-important question which intelligent and patriotic Brazilians ask each other is, will we have, can we have, a genuine Republic?’ Nor A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE. It was naturally supposed that when the Republic was proclaimed the next step would be the calling of the constitutional assembly, to which the people would choose their rep- resentatlves, and that a form of government would be created and submitted to the nation for its approval; that pari passu, the people of the different provinces, would go through the same process of creating State govern- ments. But this method, which seems so natural and essential to Anglo-Saxons, is not according to the habit of thought of the Latin statesman and would-be ruler. The civil law tralning—the civil law deal—does not contemplate any initiative on the part of the people. They are subjects to be tregu- lated by the law. They are the created, not the creators. Hence, i is not strange that the men who created and are running the Pro- visional Government should have concluded that they must not only pave the way for but prepare the people themselves for the Gov- ernment which they will provide for a They say, doubtless cs truth, tde 8 would not know hat to do wit power if we instrusted them with, it. They, in common with ourselves, were the victims of a corrupt, effete government from which we set — —— — — AEN, N. Beatrice T them, as well as ourselves free, and having done this, we thereby assumed the grave re- sponsibility of providing for the future end the present the best possibie form of Govern- ment. Wealonecan dothis because we not only havea realizing sense whatit ought to be, but know how to constitute it. The sincerity and capacity, the honesty and integrity of these men may be conceded with out admitting their ability to — what they have undertaken. Dom Pedro’s Property. New YORK, Jan. 2.—“ All was quiet at Rio when we sailed from that port December 8. said Capt. Matheson of the steamer Strabo, which arrived yesterday from Rio Janeiro. The Strabo brought copies of the late Brazil - ian newspapers, but no mail of importance. The Bio paper, O Paiz, (the Country) of De- cember & and 8, contains some interesting facts about the property of Dom Pedro, which has been confiscated by the Provisional Government. An official list of the property was made by Dr. Manse, Fifth Delegate of Police, and a copy of it sent to the ex- Emper- ~~ legal, representatives. Following is the st: The value of the silyerware that belonged to Dom Pedro, removed from his palace, St. Christorao, at Petropolis, is estimated at 600,- 000,000 contos, or about $300,000. The jewelry of the late Empress, which was kept in the Treasusy vaults, is valued at about $600,000. Dom Pedro’s personal jewelry is valued at at $200,000; crown jewels at about $250,000; coaches and stables of the royal family at $75,000. The furniture and fixtures of the royal — are said to be old and shabby, probably not worth, all told, over $7,500. The, museum and library are estimated to be worth about $100,000. Connected with the palace of St. Christorao there are also about one hundred houses built by Dom Pedro as a sort ot asylum for paupers, for which the value is not given. All the silverware and jewels of the royal family were removed to the public treasury at Rio, IF YOU FAIL 70 Read the merchants’ cut prices’’ adver- tised in this issue of the Post- DISPATCH you will regret it.
