The PostT-DIsPATCH has already revealed the New York end of the boodle story, which has for its subject the passage of the Elevated Railroad bill through the Municipal Assembly, and it now presents to its readers a chapter of the tale which is entirely local. A small section of the story which is now told was investigated by the Grand-jury, but the Grand-jury did not have before it all the facts which the PosT-DISPATCH possesses and now makes public. This chapter tells how the promoters of that enterprise and the members of the Assembly made the property holders along the proposed route pay a a portion of thelr expenses and how they worked together to get the better of the citi- zens whose interest the Councilmen should have had at heart, which the promoters of the bill pretended to protect, and further of an attempt to bribe a priest, «. When the Dili was irst Introduced it pro- vided that the road should go west on Lucas avenue. The Lucas avenue property owners objected and protested. They did not want it and endeavored to have the route changed, but they could not persuade the gentiemen interested to abandon that street by any ar- guments which they presented. The railroad people intimated that it the property owners would make up a good large contribution they would consent to change the route, and a meeting was called and held in the office of F. Burns, the saddlery mer- chant. Among those who were pgesent were Messrs. Gauss of Gauss-Shelton Hat Co., P Burns, Mitchell of the Mitchell Furniture Co., Ed Butler, 4 representative of the promoters, a few other property holders and George W. Lubke as adviser. The advice of Judge Lubke was asked as to whether it would bea violation ot the crimi- nal statutes forthe property owners to pay the promoters tochange the route, and the substance of his advice to them was that they could not be sent to the penitentiary for it, but it would look like a very ugly piece of business. Ed Butler dropped in to the meeting and sald that he could assure the property-owners that the route would be changed if they would raise A FUND OF $10, and make it a 932 to ihe "Elevated Rall- road Co. The representative of the promoters thought that that would be a little too steep, and, speaking for the 1 vate he said they would be satisfied with $5 ,000 That struck the property- -owners as a more favorable proposition, and they acceded to it. A subscription was started on the quiet and the money was raised. Merchants doin business on Lucas avenue and the owners o lots and houses there were the contributors and the men who were the active canvassers for contributions. were Russeil, a North Broadway clothier, and Thomas Dunn, the pawnbroker. The opponents of the bill raised $5,000, in cash which was paid out, but those who handled it say they do not know what became of it or elee refuse to say what they did with it. One thing is sure, that it was paid to a certain gentieman and he is absent from the city and is now in Louisville, therefore his name is withbeld until he re- turns to speak for 2 and probably he can tell who received | It was placed eceording t to agreement, how- ever, for the route was mediately changed from Lucas avenue to Morgan street and then the Morgan street property owners began their unsuccessful fight. ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN Mr. Charles Gauss, President of the Gauss- Shelton Hat Co., who was one of the gentle- men who assembled in Mr. Burns’ office on several occasions to devise means for having the proposed route of the elevated road changed, was found much more commupnica- tive than Mr. Burns. Mr. Gauss isa very pleasant gentieman and answered all ques- tions put to him freely. I believe, Mr. Gauss, call the reporter, that you attended meetings at Mr. Patrick Burne’ store for the purpose of having the proposed route of the elevated road changed?’’ **Yos, sir; 1 aid.“ „Was not $5,000 raised by those who attend- ed the meetings to subscribe for Elevated road stock? „es. „This amount was raised at the suggestion of Mr. Gus Frank and Ed Butler ona promise that if that much stock was taken the route would be changed was it not?’’ es don’t know at whose suggestion it was done.’ „Were Mr. Frank and Butler present at the meeting when the $5,000-proposition was made?’ „No. Neither one of them was there. „Was there nota definite proposition made to those who were fighting the buliding of the road on Lucas avenue that if, they took $5,000 worth of stock the route would be changed?’’ **Idon’t ‘know whether there wasor not. I only know that I was asked to subacribe for stock in the road ane did go ‘On an t that "he Eleyated would run aor some other street than Chriss. ‘ave- U * wen, rl ae Mr. Gauss, smiling,‘ — not w persone ally that there * 2 to dnd out. is not — do m ' BURNS the protests in ; der- iar. fen B® .* 3 — the m 8 Aa. * 1 on — DE deal street was nar- row and y by jobbers, who eet not be 5 by itas retall dealers wou „„Was that all that was done to have, the e e e ® $5,000 raised to subscribe for ele- vated stock?’ No it wasn’t, and I don't want to talk to ou any further about that matter,’’ said Mr. urns, somewhat indignantly. have been printing a lot of seahes. pee stories about le in the past week that there is not a word of truth in and I don’t propose to listen to any such talk.“ DR. J. J. KANE was another;prom inent nent ofthe bill and he was seen. I donot how ‘anything of m own knowledge about this Lucas avenue bus ness, he said, but 1 know that meetin were held and Mr. Burns, and Mr. Gauss told me that they subscribed.’ Do you know of anv incident that connects members of the Assembly directly with boodling?’’ „Well, I know this; that one member of the the tt crowd and asked to name his price. He adid to them that he was o the bill and could not be bought off at any 22 He did fight the bill all the way through and voted against it. Another member came to me with a proposition. He was a friend of mine who had opposed and voted against the bill, which had then passed and was before the Mayor, but he said that the Scotts had told him to lay this 9 before me. He said in explanation, ‘I know how you will take it, but I Was asked to put it to you.’ Then he said, ‘They want you to withdraw your opposition because they want the Mayor to sign the bill and they say that it you will you have only to go to see Scott and he will make it all right.. What was ree reply, doctor?’’ e told him to go to Scott and tell him that if he wanted to see me my office was on Six- teenth and Morgan streets and I wasn’t much of afighter, but I had a base ball bat there and would brain any man who would make such a r to me. the you give me the names of those men Dr. Kane thought for a while and then said: No. They voted against the bill or 1 would. Ihave no desire to protect anyone. Several of the men who voted for the bill are patients of mine, but I would not protect them for a moment, but these were opponents of the bill and, therefore, Ithink they could not have been mixed up in the crooked work, so I prefer not to give their names.’ One of the subscribers to the Lucas avenue fund was M. B. CURTIS, the fish dealer, of 614 Lucas avenue. He was seen and asked if he could tell any of the cir- cumstances connected with the meetings, but he said that though he knew of the transac- tions at the time he had forgotten them. **I subscribed Slo, he said, but I re- fused to pay my subscription because they took the road off of Lucas avenue where my store is and put it on Morgan street where my residence is, and I had ten times rather have it on Lucas avenue than on Morgan street. Mr. Curtis’ partner, Mr. Myers,said: ‘‘When. Mr. Curtis made that subscription Dunn, the pawnbioker, and a cloth ier on North Broad- way, a man named Russell, I think, drove up bere in a buggy ‘and asked for it. They seemed to be very earnest and in 4 great hurry, or they said that they intended to co to see several others that morning. They said then that they were not raising money to bribe Councilmen but that they intended to give it to the rail- road company to have the route changed. How much they got or what they did with it I do not know.’ was seen at his —— 200 Franklin N N and asked what had deen done with money which — been collected to Geet ‘he, build- ing ) elev nne. ; “Was not money 7 falsed to the Dill, and were you not given the — of it?“ as some talk of raising money, I am No; there but not a cent was ever collected that aware of. 5 etsy the money to be raised for Council- men?’ ‘*No, sir; it was to be used to purchase stock in the road. What was the object in purchasing stock in the road?’’ ‘*That I refuse to answer. How much stock was to be purchased?“ do not know.’”’ Jou must have known how much money was to be raised?’’ No: Ido not. „Then who does?“ „Perhaps you could find out something by going down to see—, but there was no money raised.’’ : Lou were about to state the nameof a man who could give me some information. Who was it?’’ Iwill not say now. And you absolutely deny that any money was raised?’’ There certainly was not to my knowledge. IknowlI never collected, any, and was not called upon to pay out anything.’ ‘*‘Why will you not tell the object of pur- chasing stock in the road in order to prevent its being built — Lucas avenue?’’ 1 will not make any further statements about the matter.’’ And Dunn would not. To all questions put to hinfthereafter he gave that answer and the reporter took his departure, That Meeting. One ofthe men who signed the agreement to subscribe for $5,000 more of stock in case a change in the route was made from Lucas avenue to some other street telis the following interesting story about how that change was brought about: The night before the bill was passed by the Council a meeting of Lucas avenue property holders was held in Mr. Pat Burns’ office for the purpose of hearing a proposition from the elevated road representatives in regard to a change in the route, Those resent were: Mr. Mitchell of the Mitchell ‘urniture Co., Thos. Dunn, Charles T. Gauss, D. D. Barnes, "Edward Martin, Patrick Burns, Thomas Ward McManus, Henry ers, Will- iam Barnard, P. Cunningham and five others. Mr. Barnard prasided over thé meeting, and Mr. Sayers acted as Secretary. One of the in- corporators of the elevated road came in after the meeting had assembled and on being in- vited to make a statement, said: ‘* *GENTLEMEN—Il came here to talk business. The route of the elevated road can be changed for $5,000, and it can’t be done for less. ow it remains with you to decide whether you want it changed ornot. Ileave you to con- sider it.’ With that be went out, and those assembled began to discuss his terse proposition. The discussion had been going ou for a few minutes when in came Ed Butler. He took Mr. Patrick Burns aside and taiked with him for awhile then be too left, After seeing But- ler out Burns came back to where the rest of us were and said: „Well, Butler says it ean’t be done fora cent less than $10,000.’ tie ab | just heard one of the incorporators say that $5,000 would be all that was necessary to raise, this information was somewhat surprising, and it did not take the meeting long to determine that the incor- orators’ — ought to be accep e did not feel certain, heweree, ti that the proceed — 1 * entirely regular, and Judge ubke and Mr. Sam T. ce were Called in as advisers. Mr. Price refused to have anvthing to do with it, and gave it as his opinion that the distinction between the proposition made and blackmail was so fine that it was scareely distinguishable. When Judge Lubke was asked whether he thought the proceeding was proper or improper, he said: *‘ ‘Gentiemen, you alone must be the as to its ropriety. It you mean to ask if it ts 8 el — sa 35 it is — but 1 con- sider it a questionable proceed »The meeting decided to — the sition and a written agreement, $5,000 of the company’s scribed for after the route h House told me that "he was approached by ne money was raised?’ | various subjects, and at * end ofa the | rators came in and in a dene business like way ald: ‘ ** ‘Gentlemen it: I will use my infiue: Christy avenue.

After the whole thing was settled one of 1 property-owners ‘who had subscribed 1,000, sent for me and said he had anew — er for me to sign. Isent him word to ring it to me and let me look over it. He re- plied that he did not have time to do that, but it was an agreement by which we were to. re- ceive stock for our contribution. I then sent him word that I did not want any stock; that if the others had withdrawn their names from the first paper, I would withdraw mine, but I would not sign such an agreement as that.’’ No. A Priest’s Experience. Among the opponents to the Morgan street route and to the elevated rallroad on an street whatever was Rev. Father Walsh, pastor of St. Bridget’s Church, on Jefferson avenue and Carr street. Father Waish appeared before the Council with others and made a speech in which he argued against the bill and urged the Council- men not to pass it. An incident of the next morning is interesting and Father Walsh told it to-day. ‘Phat night I was introduced to Counecil- man Comfort, he said, and the next morn- ing he called at my residence with one of the Scotts, but I cannot say which one of them it was. Mr. Comfort introducéd Mr. Scott to me and we sat down and talked about the bill. Mr. Comfort began the conversation by try- ing to convince me that as the road was to run east of the church it would not injure in any’ way either the church or school or parochial residence. He said that it would not depreciate the value of the property and I would find that it would be no Interference. I told bim that 1 had been fighting an ele- vated road for seven years and would continue to fight it. The three points I made were that it was unsightly, that it Injured 2 ‘ and that it was not necessary in St. Louis Then Mr. Scott said that if I would with- draw my opposition to the bill it would be worth $1,000 to me or my church. 71 told them that no personal considera- tions could influence me whatever; that I was opposed to the elevated road on principle and my mind was made up. That ended the matter. “Did Mr. Comfort say anything about the No. He did not say, anything. dut I he see ed to acquiesce in it. id you learn ofany other pooeee shat were made in connection with the bill?’’ No, not directly. A — wanted A 3 the paper of yan? current that were 1 1 ö potent character to the members of the Assmbly. heard at the time about the 2 that was said to have been inthe Safe De- posit Co., and I understood that THE AMOUNT WAS $30,000 About this time I secured from several mem bers of the Counell and ‘House positive pledges to vote againat the bill—some of them were fulfilled. One Councilman in ~erticular ave me a positive promise to vote against it but when it came up he vote for it. Would you object to giving his name?“ „Well, not that I desire to protect any man who has done wrong but I would rather not de the one to injureaman. Ilike what the Post- DISPATCH is doing; itis working in the richt direction and I hope it will succeed, but Ido not like to do a man harm even if he has broken his promise to me.’ Father Walsh bas related these same facts to William Cullinane, J. P. Heinrich and Adam Weber. COUNCILMAN COMFORT’S STORY. Councilman C. D. Comfort was seen, and gave the following statement to a PostT-Dis- PATCH reporter: The interview to which you refer occurred the flrst time I ever met Father Walsh. He had not then appeared before the committee, but it was rumored that he would oppose the bill because the route was laid by his church. Hearing this, Iadvised Scott to consent to an amendment putting the route on Twenty second street instead of on Jeffer- son avenue, so Mr. Scott and I took a buggy one day to drive over and inspect the route. On our way back Scott suggested that we pay Father Walsh a friendly ca 1 We did, and I was introduced to Father Walsh by Mr. Scott. It was the a Pg ond I had ever met him and the first time f Had ever seen him within my recoliection. The conversation was conducted principally by Scott and Father Walsh, and was more of a spectator than "anything else. After we stated that the route was changed Father Walsh apparently withdrew all opposi- tion and said to Scott that he need fear nothing from him in the way of wae | a tion. Thereupon Scott urged Father Waish to appear before the committee as an advo- cate of the measure, but Father Walsh best- tated on that point. @ promised, however, that he would not op the bill. The con- versation was carried on in a general wa Ap u an hour we go leave. I shook hands nd first, bade him good@-bge, and had reached the hall. Scott was taking his leave, and being so encouraged by bis conversation with Father Walsh, in a spirit of + ars and out of kindness of hearth: he sald to Father Walsh: ‘If my bill becom es a law you come down and I will give you $1,000 for your church.’ It any construction was placed upon this offer that made it appear other than a alas act of generosi toword Fatber Walsh's church, prompted by Father Walsh’s triendty’ expressions, fail to understand what can have suggested it or what foundation there | can be for it. CONTRADICTED BY FATHER WALSH. The above statement was read to Father Walsh, who listened very attentively, and at the conclusion said the tenor of the ststement was directly contradictory to what had really occurrea at his meeti with Messrs. and Comfort, and that $1,000 was offered as a bribe to persuade him to withdraw his op position to the bill. Father Walsh gave the stor as follows: 0 oon Messrs, Scott and Comfort called on me and sald that the ebe fe route — A ch from Jefferson avenue to wenty-secon wiedged act as a favor and told the gentlemen that was glad it had been done, but I never said 10 the dulid- — — eta * F 2 1 2 i g 51 if % Het 722 better consen — - Finally I consented, Comfo noon Mr. rt and 1 driving over the : were spectes it nd . ly satiated, ewe Ng Father Walsh. o ae te: — see Walsh received us — inate an opoks about the change in the souks he shook — hand and expressed himseif ow He told me he had — about 258 uy : : to ght wes © — ＋ Whenever he was 14 — an — any church affair. long as always — his ta the Sas but I ey out of 13 and I1was liberal with them. alan said he knew all about my liber- pt By spoke so much about it that I eon od — — hinting for me to establish m reputation in that respect by more evidence than hearsay.

Lorpox, Jan. 3.—The Tory papers are still Floating over the awkward entangletnent in whieh Mr. Parnell finas himself and the floods of virtuous indignation which fill their solumns are impressive and instructive to read. It is generally understood between par- Mean journals in England that slips of this kind committed by political opponents are to Doe left unnoticed, but in this instance personal maliguity has averriden custom and discretion and the whole unfortunate matter is pre- sented tothe public, accompanied by com- ments of the most cutting character. They did not appear to be deterred by the fact that the House of Lords has on its roll several peers Who are now in foreign countries on account of being concerned in «a scandal to which this of Mr. Parnell’s is as of nothing, and thatthere are some uncommonly queer 2xembers oftheir partyin the House of Com- ons also. Oapt. O’Shea is, without doubt, ceiving substantial encouragement from veral well-known Conservatives and there also little doubt that this persecution of . Parnell will be continued to the bitter 14, The manifest object is to DRIVE HIM OUT OF PARLIAMENT d, if possible, out of the country. The nepirators are bold, wealthy and unscrupu- 16, and the ingenuity with whieh they are ing their attacke betrays a master hand the helm. The denial of the Irish ader’s mother that the sum sub- wibed for her relief has ever reached er, with the natural inference that it has een stolen by the ‘‘patriots’’ on the way, fs made the most of and retailed with an as- sumed indignation that is easily penetrated. There is scarcely any doubt that if O’Shea’s | suit develops any proof of infidelity with the co-respondent the husband or some of the woman’s relatives will be egged on to make A charge of adultery against Mr. Parnell that, if sus- tained, will either land him in jail or compe! him to leave the country. The same parties who engineered the a ge conspiracy are at the head of this plot and the failure of the Times’ forgery scheme has only the more mbittered them against those who ex- ited against them the contempt of bumanity, drove one of the sup- tors of these charges to his death, esides causing the suicide of the miserable gott, and crippled for a time the resources of the greatest journal in Europe. It will be 4@ struggle to the death, and Irish society will be asked by these self-constituted moralists whether it can further recognize an intruder the tenets of the socialcircle and a violator of the most sacred family ties.

Jan. $8.—Another vessel flying the American flag has been seized by the Colombian gunboat La Popa. Advices were received by L. Shepp & Co. of this city yester- eer. saying that their vessel, the Frederick L. Shepp, had been seized while calling for cocoanuts on the San Bias coast. The Shepp left this port about a month ago with a cargo for Greytowp. From there she was to go along the coast and pick up the cocoanuts, which had been collected for her in various places, but when she reached the San Blas coast she shared the fate of the vessels of Foster &Co., being seized by the Colombian Popa and taken to Cartagena, where she is held. A dispatch from Washington says the State Department has little information in regard to the seizures recently made by the Colom- bian Government, but that full particulars are expected daily. THE STOCK BROKERS. The Bulls Slightly Disappointed—A Big Coal Contract. By Gaylord-Blessing’s Priyate Wire. From New York, 9a. m.—The bulis on the stock market uptown were just a bit disap- pointed last evening because of the continued unexpected severe twist in the money market, simply for the good reason thata great bull marketis impossible without an abundance of cheap money, and this may be a long way off. The best opinion expressed by — brokerage concerns was that, while it was a fact there is still plenty of disposition shown by strong people and good operators to buy stocks, there is alsoa dis- position to carefully await an improved change in the condition of the money market. The bearish element is growing more pro- nounced on St. Paul and the big bears say the statement for six months shows that there will not be 2 percent for the common stock dividend in Aprii, and it will de all the com- pany can do to pay 7 per cent on the preferred stock. 10 a. m.—One of the largest contracts for hard coal is said to be that of the Manhattan The Lebigh Valley has had the contract for fiye years and etc., have been made.

By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3.—As telegraphed to the Pos r- DISPATCH yesterday, Hon, George W. Wallace of Missouri, who wants to go as Consul-General to Melbourne, was before the Committee on Ways and Means yesterday ana his friends all think that his incid argument for a higher tariff on low-grade wool has strengthened his cause, and his appointment is expected to take place in a short time. L, L. Bridges of Sedalia, who is after the Mexican Consulsbhip, remains here. These two appointments are expected, and it is also intimated that Missouri will get a third place. This information is given by a prominent official, but who it may be he does not say. Assistant Attorney General Shields is still with his mother, who Is il] at Hannibal, Mo. There were no callers at &t. Louis Fair head- quarters thie morning. Congressman Kelley of Pennsylvania, it is announced this morning, is seriously fll. His daughter is here with him. Great apprehen- sion is felt lest he may not again resume his seat in the House. Windom ’s Silver Policy. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 38.—The President has made up his mind about Secretary Win- dom’s recommendation thatthe Government shall accept silver Dullion and issue certifi- cates therefor at the market rate, the certifi- cates to serve as curréncy. Mr. Har- rison has adopted Secretary Win- dom’s view about this matter. He goes even further than Mr. Windom in his approval of the project. He is impressed with its economic soundness as a principle, believes in its beneficent effect upon the 1 of the country and regards it asa rilllant step toward the determination of the silver problem. So much he has not hesitated to mn and there 1s iittle doubt that he will express this opinion in a communication to Congress at an early day, or he may determine to make his opinion known in some other way. A bill embodying the recommendations of the Secietary will be submitted to Congress very soon. It is likely to be offered simultaneously in both houses. Its fate in the House of Repre- sentatives is problematical. There is little doubt that a majority of the Republican Sena- tors and some of the Democratic members of the Senate favor the bill and it Is likely first to pass that body. A politician ot influence, who is also a financier of repute, was to-day asked these questions: Has the President considered the silver recommendation of Secretary Windom yet?’’ Thereply was: ‘‘He . given it a very careful study, having devoted every spare moment he eould get tothe consideration for some weeks. Has he come to any decision?’’ He has. Are you at liberty to say what it 167“ ‘*I think so, in a general way. The Presi- dent is most fayofably impressed with the recommendation.

C., Jan. 3.— There is lit- tle use, said Secretary Blaine, in attempt- ing to conduct a civil service r one set of office- holders and ignoying the just claims of others. This has been brought very promi- nently before the State Department recently in cases where young Americans desire to go abroad as diplomatic representatives of the United States. Before there was such 4 thing Known as civil service reform, politicians Were accustomed to bring their friends to Washington, and after receiving attention from the head of a department, an appoint- ment to a lucrative position was generally the result. But now all this is changed, and the doors of the departments are practically closed against applicants for offices, owing to the requirements of the Civil Service Commis- sion. Disappointed in their efforts to get into public position in other ways, many of the workers of the two political parties turned their longing eyes in the direction of the State Department and coveted long and ear- nestly some of the consular offices help by oth- ers. Examinations are not required for these places and they are matters for the exertion of influence if the solicitation of candidates for them can be believed. In consequence to the demand for consular positions it is quite likely that they will be recommended to be turned over to the Civil Service Commission to pass upon the ability of the applicants and thus relieve the State Department of a great deal of annoyance.’’ Representative Kelley's Tllngés. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 3.—The Star this afternoon publishes the following: ‘‘Repre- sentative Wm. D. Kelley of Pennsylvania, has probably been on the floor of the House for the last time. On the day when the United States. Fifty-first Oongress assembled, Judge Kelley was in his place and since that time he has probably been at the capitol twice or three times. His enfeebled condition was the subject of much comment, but only a few knew the nature of the Judge’s allments. it is now fully developed and its activity is most virulent, ust below the rear of Judge Kelley’s jaw is a cancer, and it is spreading rapidly into the throat. So quickly has it spread that the afflicted man can speak only in whispers and then not without pain. The swallowing of nourishment is a matter of considerable dim. culty and locomotion cao only be indulged in to a very small extent. Several of Judge Kelley's relatives have been here durihg the last few days, and his daugbter, Mrs. Hosmer, wanted totake him home with her, but his condition yesterday was such that removal was regarded as impossible by the physicians; so the Judge is still in his rooms at the Riggs House. The news of the Judgo’s illness was the subject of much conversation inthe Departments and on the streets to-day, and the expressions of regret were unanimous in their sentiment. Every- body seemed to recognize the usefulness of the old Pennsylvanian and everybody was grieved to know that his career was 80 soon to be rounded out and completed. | The Tarif?’ Hearings. WasHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 3.—The House Committee on Ways and Means opened its session this morning by listen ing to the re- marks of Representative Carter of Montana, who spoke in relation to sheep husbandry, particularily on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain country. He thought that if there was no tariff on wool that the wool indus- try of Montana would be destroyed. Mr. Shep- herd, a wool-grower of Texas, was the next witness. He said that the subject assikned to him by the President of the National Wool Growing Association was the ability of the United States to raise all the carpet wool consumed in this country, and he proceeded to read a paper to prove that wit a euffiicient protection it could be done. He gave figures to show that in Texas it costs from 15 to 18 cents a pound to 83 fine wool, and that it cannot be lald own in Boston at lese than 19 cents a pound, while the Australian woo] could be laid down there 13 there was no duty on it) at 6 cents a pound.

Among the victims of La Grippe’’ in New York City is Loule Nathal, the well-known opera singer and playwright. On New Year Day he went to the French Hospital, and information received from New York to-day states that he died there late yesterday afternoon and that his body is still at the hospital, Nathal is well known in St. Louis, having spent one entire summer here. It was then that he first met this woman who afterwards became dis wife. That was seven or eight years ago. The Pickwick Theater had a garden attached to it at the time. Mr. Phillips, who was man- aging the house for Mr. Jennings, who then owned it, brought Nathal out here from the Eust and he organized the first opens company which sang atthe garden. Nathal was a man weigh- ing fully 250 pounds. He was ot a dark com- plexlon and wore a heavy black mustache. He was the possessor of a magnificent bass voice, and was a splendid actor, but had a very strong French ac- cent. The venture atthe Pickwick proved a failure, and after a run of several weeks to unprofitable business the garden was. closed and the company disbanded. Manager Short of the Olympic, who was running Uhrig’s Cave across the street from the Pickwick, with the Ford Opera an attrac- tion, gave Natnal engagement having bim appear as Gaspard in The Chimes of Normandy,’’ a character which he filled } admirably both as a singer and an actor. Aft- erward Nathal attempted to run A SUMMER THEATER on the south side, but its career was brief. He remained here for awhile, giving lessons in singing and preparing people for the stage. Among his pupils was Mrs. Davis, a young St. Louls woman whose maiden name had been Belle Barnes. She had sang in his company at the Pickwick under the stage name of Louise Lester.

Anxiety for the Safety of the Steamer State of California. SAN FRANOISCO, OCal., Jan. 3.—Some anxiety is felt here for the safety of the steamer State of California which plies between this port and Portland, Ore.

He arrived here this morn- ing from Kansas City, and expects to leave this evening for home. Pfeffer has just returned from Kansas, where he went to see Charley Bennett, the great catcher of the Boston club. He came bere to sign a player for the Players’ League, but who the man is lie re- fuses to state. In all probability, however, it is a member of the Brown Stocking Club. Pfeffer himeelf is rather feative concern- ing his mission, and at first endeavored to carry the impression that he was here merely for his health, as the La Grippe’’ epidemic, which has reached Opicago, makes the Windy Cip¥ a very unfavorable place of abode just at present. A little persuasion induced Mr. Pfeffer to admitthat his trip here was some- thing more than a mere sanitary measure. HERE TO SIGN A PLAYER. „should have been bere yesterday, he remarked. I have been expecting a tele- gram and have been to all the hotels in search of one, but failed to find any. Uniess I re- ceive a telegram I shall do nothing, as Iam not at liberty to act otherwise.

I thought he was with the Browns. No, he is here. Is he the after?“ Another smile was the only reply. „Bennett did not sign a Boston Players’ Club contract for you, I see, the reporter remarked, giving up a line of inquiry he saw it was useless to pursue any further. did not go out thereto sign him, was Pfeffer's reply. * 22 you make that trip for your health, too * No, I wanted to see how he felt.

They of- fered Ewing a one-fifth interest in the New York League Club to sign with them, but the offer did not budge him. They bave en- deavored totempt others of our players in the same way without success.’’ „What willbe done about the men who jumped their contracts with you?’’ **] think we have good cases against them, and we will push them.

Oarsman O’ Connor's Views. William O'Connor of Toronto, Canada, the ngle scull champion ot Atnerica, does not Unk the regatta proposed by Mr. Thayer of oston is a fair way to decide the singie 9 he are the ToRONTO, Ontario, Dec. 28, 1889. Sin-—In confirmation of my telegram of Thursday last I beg to sav, that, while I am willing to take partin any regatta at which the p offered are sufficiently Jarze to war- rant the labor and expense of training, I must most itively decline to acknowledge that any championship can be considered at stake in such regatta. I won the championship of America in a match and I will never risk it in a contest where my defeat would be the foremost aim of ev other contestant.’ As for the championship the world being decided in sucha way, the idea is preposterous. Can any sane man im- agine the Australians would be willing to come here, row in still waters for the first time in their lives, take part in a scrambie in which every home sculier would conspire to beat them, and then acknowledge that they had forfeited all claim to the title? I cannot imagine that even Teemer in bis wildest moments can believe such a thing,and Lam sure your enterprising townsman, Mr. H. Thayer, does not. The objections to putting the professional single sculling (championship at stake in a regatta are so many that to me it hardly appears worth while to go over them. Look atthe possibilies of intentional fouls, and prabably the ultimate decision of an incompe- tentor inexperienced referee, or ofa man who did not see what went on and gave his verdicton the heursay evidence of witnesses who might be all opposed to the best oars- man. an anything be more unsatisfactory than the disposition of supreme honors ina race where such possibilities exist? Previous to meeting Beach, Hanlan's only defeats were in regattas, but nobody claimed that he forfeited championship honors in such contests. In fact, it would have been ridicu- lous to assert that by bis victory on Kempen- feldt Bay, in 1879, J, H. Riley won the title, or that Wallace Ross did the same by his success a year later on the Seekonk. In both places Hanlan was caught off, al- though at Providence he was considered a certainty. The trouble appears to have been, however, that in setting bimself down to beat the Englishman, Robert Watson Bovd, he strained himself, with the result that an infe- rior sculler won. A sprinter could carry me — 1 tor a space, then another man come up and do the same, the flnal result being that 1, the acknowledged champion of America, might be defeated. Hanlan easily defeated his conquerorsin regattas when they came against him in match races, and I might do the same; but why sbould Ibe called upon to risk my title any more than he was in such contests? As I have said before Ifear no man who sits in a boat. but Iam determined to have some- thing to say in the disposition of atitle that I have earned by hard work and great expense, and no other man has a right to call upon me to put the championship at stake in arace in which a number of scullers compete, some of whom can have no possible pretension to the highest honors, and only row in the mg that good luck and not thelr ability may do something for them. I have a forfeit up with the Toronto Empire with a challenge open to the world, and if any American thinks he can beat me, all be bas to dois to cover it and he will be accommodated. If, however, Thayer of Boston and Caikins of Seattle wish to make a race in which the championship shall be decided, they can have their wish gratified by adding a purse to the main stake, whieh land my rivaishball put up, and if itis liberal enough, I will promiseto row at any place either of them may name. More than that, Iwill not consent to. Yours, etc., WILLIAM O’ CONNOR. ferth in the erald: > New Orleans Meeting.

The bride was stated to be a lady well known in Chicago and European society, and it was promised that the return of Mr. and Mrs. Ayer to Chicago would be the signal for the begin- ning of an ambitious social career.

Judge Barnard Renders a Decision Declar- ing the Document Legal. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. T., Jan. 2.—Judge Bar- nard yesterday filed his decision in the matter of the construction of John Guy Vasear’s will. He declares that the Baptist Church of Pough- keepsie, having raised $15,000 to pay off a mortgage, is entitled to the $15,000 given it by Mr. Vassar; that the gifts to several corpora- tions of sums of money, subject tothe pay- ment of annuities, are good; that the coal fund of $1,900 belongs to the Wassar Home for Aged Men, and the Vassar College can take its bequest of $40,000, as the proof fails to show that atthe death of the testator the college had property up to its charter limit. He de- clares that the memoranda found in Mr. Vas- sar’s satchel have no force either upen the will or codicils. The most important part of the decision is that the gift of a large sum for a proposed orphan asylumis good. The de- cision will be undoubtedly carried to the Court of Appeals for review.

HE cause of the trouble experienced in op- erating the tele- phone in con- nection with the electric lighting = plants just started up is more mys- torlous than ever. General Manager Durant of the Bell was found in his office this morn- ing, receiving the reports of his as- 4 eistants. „We can’t tell anything about the trouble. he ald. we may have our own ideas, but so far we have not located the trouble exactly. We have had trouble before In the Southern part of the city, but it has been slight. The dim culty experienced at fight can be understood. It was the same last night as the night before. Yesterday’s trouble, however, was extra- ordinary. It began suddenly at 11:30 and shut off as suddenly at 3:30. What caused it is more than Ieau say. That there was a cause is certain, but where it was is another thing. It was reported that the Heisler had a crossed wire and that the last ground wire was off at 8:80, just the time that the trouble subsided. Supt. Wagner ofthe Missouri, was in bis plant at 8:30, and tmmediately drove to the Helsler plant. Iam inclined to think the trouble was withthe Missouri. Atany rate, if the trouble recurs we will immediately slap an INJUNCTION ON THE MISSOURI, as we have enough now to make our first case there.

If you were in here as complaints comeinyou would see what a serious inconvenience itis. Our subscribers relize that we aredoing everthing we can, and accept the situation as philosoplycally as possible, but they can’t bo blamed for feeling a little mad. Here isa pile of complaints that came in by mail this morning. Yester- day the delay of business was so great that we received city telegrams from subscribers who could not use their telephones.’’ ‘*Will the injunction be of a permanent character?’’ 3 Oh, no; the only thing is we cannot work under present conditions, and cannot be ex- pected to give up our business to the electric light people. When the cause of the trouble is located and remedied it will be ali right. We have tried to find it, bat so far have failed.

The only thing is we must arrive at conditions under which we dan all live. The are light gives us comparatively little trouble. It is the alternating current used in the Heisler and Missour! incandescent lighting that causes all the trouble.’’ **Wil your company provide the remedy?’’ No, the lighting companies must find the cause and supply the remedy. We have done everything we could, and will continue to do so, to assist them, but we cannot attempt to do all that will be necessary. It looks to me as ifthe only remedy will be a tmetallic our- rent ox return.

This they promised to do, and Mr. Durant supposed they had done so. The recaution, however, did not seem to have ad any effect, as the lights bas no soouer been turned ou than the trouble appeared in fullf ree. Since then every effort had been made to locate the cause and provide a rem- edy, but without even the smallest measure of success. THE SITUATION TO-DAY was somewhat simplified, and the danger hour was passed without anythiog more than slight trouble. The Missouri claimed that the cause was entirely with a Heisler wire cross- ing one of theirs. Supt. Matiack, the city clectrician, was around endeavoring to see what was the metter. He conferred with the telepbone and light people, and was told that the trouble would be fully adjusted. The Missouri people also say they will bave the cause of trouble removed at night. It is claimed that this can be done by parallel wires. These are now in use on some ofthe circuits, but they have been out of balance, the telephone wiruws receiving the excess, THE BOARW TAKING A HAND. The Board of Pubilc Improvements dis- cussed this morning the subject which is now giving a good deal of annoyance—that of con- flicting wires of the Missouri and Hels- ler Lighting Cos. and the Bell and Police Telephone Cos. Pro- tests were made to the board this morning by the Police Department, the Bell Telephone Co. and the Missouri Electrio Light Co. The police andthe Bell people are objecting tothe Missour! wires wherever they interfere and the Missouri people objecting to being burdened with the entire blame for the disturbance claiming that the Heisler system was in partresponsibie. The Board did nothing further then discuss the matter and instruct Supt. Matiack to find all of the curcuits which are outof order and locate troublesome points and make a report on monday.

His friends at once went to work witha will and made as- ed against tyranny worth as much as the tonishing progress, considering the short time life and happiness of the man who claims by right of birth the power to oppress and kill them? The Czar can relieve himself of the brooding fear of assassination by granting constitutional liberty to the Russian people. 2 8 — A RBANOUET tendered to Judge BREWER by the bar of Leavenworth in honor of his promotion to the Supreme Court bench was made the occasion for a con- spicuous display of the crankiness and crookedness of political prohibitionism in Kansas. A Police Board deep in the dirt of deals and dickers with an illicit liquor traffic, notified the managers of the ban- quet that it would be raided by the police if milk punch or other contraband goods should be served at the entertainment. This notice was simply a boorish attempt to insult Judge BREWER on account of de- cisions which did not suit the political manipulators of illicit whisky who run Kansas politics. — — — — Henry George on Brice. From the Standara. The question to be decided by the Demo- cratic legislators in Ohio is whether or not the aggregation of men, calling itself the Demo- cratic party, in that State is to be trusted to represent the people’s cause. They will an- swer that question by their choice of a candi- date for Senator. Ifthey elect Brice, or any other man, simply on the ground of his pos- session of a large fortune, they will prove that the Ohio Democracy is not to be trusted, and they will doom it to unques- tioned defeat at the hands of the very people who alone can lift it from a minority into a majority party. If, on the other hand, they choose a man because of his loyalty to principles and his ability. to defend the rights of the people, they will win for their party the respectand adhesion of thousands who are now ready to work loyally with the opponents of monopoly, special privileges and pluto- cratic rule. It is not the political fortune of Mr. Calvin 8. Brice that is at stake, but the political future of the Democratic party as now organized in the State of Ohio. The Insult to Justice Brewer. From the Kansas City Times. Monday night a banquet was given at Leavenworth to the distinguished jurist, Judge D. J. Brewer, who has just been honored with a place upon the most exalted tribunal in the country. The prohibition police commissioners, who dickered and bar- gained with joint keepers during a political campaign last fall, notified the caterer that the banquet would be pulled“ if punch were seryed. Among the guests were Hon. George W. Peck, General McOook, Hon. EugeneWare, Hon. H. J. Dennis, Hon. Thomas P, Fenlon, Gen. Greene, ex-Governor Moonlight and other gentlemen of like character and public service. Yesterday morning the Republican organ treated the banquet as disreputably managed and participated in by persons of low standing. Boodlers in All Directions. From the Kansas City Times. With the 8t. Louis PosT-DISPATCH proving that the butchers of St. Louis tried to buy the Missour! Legislature, and the Secretary ofa defunct Topeka insurance company swearing that members ofthe Kansas Legisiature re- ceived retainers from it while insurance legis- lation was being discussed,it would seem that all the thrifty statesmen of the West are not confined to the St. Louis Common Council. Testimony of a Veteran Beodler. From the St. Joseph Herald. The Democratic party in Missouri is dom- inated by bosses and boodlers. Court-house rings and oliques control every county where- in the party bas a majority. For the last dozen years the General Assembly has been corrupt through and through. The people willcome to their senses inthe near future and wipe out bosses as well as boodlers.

THE SUPPORTERS OF HUGH ROGERS, on the other hand, say that they did not con- template any serious Opposition to his candi- dacy, and therefore made no especiai effort to gather their strength. When the vote was taken it was found that Kauffman had re- ceived 285 votes and Rogers but 22. The former was therefore declared to be the regular nominee. His friends were almost as much surprised as those of Mr. Rogers, as they had only hoped to secure a heavy vote for nim, and the great majority believed that the nomination of Rogers was a foregone conciusion. As it was, the vote was close and indicates a very doubtful contest on the day of election. With Mr. Kauffman the following ticket was nominated: Vice-Presidents, Mar- cus Bernheimer and Geo. M. Flanagan; Board of Directors, Charles A. Cox. Roger P. Annan, John Thysen, Philip Brockmen and . Craft; Committee on Appeals, W. H. Mayo, A. Bevis, Adolphus Bang, Cornelius Tompkins, Phil S.

Pomeroy, W. 3. Anderson, Herman Bienenstock, Em!l Gessler, N. L. Momtt, John C. Schulte and H. M. Blossom. . P. Rowland was Chairman of the caucus. Mr. Kauffman was nominated by J. C. Ewald and seconded by Moses Fraley. Charles F. Orthwein nominated Mr. Rogers, who was seconded by T. W. Booth. THE OPPOSITION NOMINATIONS. The friends of Mr. Rogers, not discouraged by the unexpected action of the caucus, assem bled in the office of H. Orthwein late in the and nominated the following et- President, Hugh Rogersr Vice-Presidents, Isaac M. Mason, Charies P. Burr; Board of Directors, Charles A. Cox, D. P. Byrnes, D. R. Powell, W. B. Anderson and John H. Bless- ing. A meeting of the friends of thia ticket will be heid at 8 o’clock to-night at the Lin- dell Hotel, when nominations for the Com- mittee on Appeals and Committee on Arbitra- tion will be made. ELECTION PROSPECTS. There was a great deal of discussion as to the chances of success of the two tickets on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange this murning, and while the friends of each were confident, all admitted that the contest would be close and doubtful, and the vote unusually large. The energy the friends of praised on faction ad mitted that y been fairly beaten in the caticus. They declared that they would not be caught napping again. A large outside vote is claimed for the opposi- tion ticket, but those favoring the regular nominations declare that they have also many friends off the floor. Thesupport of Kauffman in the pit and among the millers ia strong, other inter- ests represented on the floor de- very much divided in sen- So far the contest has been car- ried on with an entire absence of acri- mony. Both candidates for the presidency are strongly opposed to State in- spection on the Eust side. The withdrawal of Philip Brockman from the race was the signal that the Planters’ House puechase would play no part, as that matter is regarded as persanen Soy settled. Beyond a general dea that the regular ticket represents those fayoring a more liberal interpretation of some of the rules of the Exchange, the difference n the two tickets wovid not be easy to define. Both parties are hard at work, and the contest will be one of unusual interest. Mr. all sides, and NOT EMMA ETTLING. A Girl said to Rave Been at Mrs. Dossen’s Was Not the Missing Girl. The mysterious case of Emma Ettling, who disappeared last February, has again become the subject of public interest on account of rumors that during all her absence and until about a month ago she had been in a well- known establishment on Chouteau ayenue. Aformer inmate of the institute has made the statement. While she was sick and being taken care ofthere she learned that Emma Ettling had been in the house and she heard Mre. Dossen, the midwife in charge, say that she had great trouble to keep Emma away from the 3 so that the detectives would not see her. A visit was paid to Mrs. Dossen’s establish- ment this morning, and when she was seen she said: a „Emma Ettling has never been here aud I have never seen her in my life. I read all the details of her disappearance, but the reports that she has been in my institute are absolutely false. Mr. Ettling came here last night with a detective and spent an hour and a half and went away satisfied that his daughter has never been here. I vould have no object now in concealing the fact if she had been here and after ber father told me bow nearly distracted her mother was I would have done anything to give him information concerning her. Mr. Ettling said that he had investigated the rumors and there was notruthin them. He is satisfied now as he has been fromthe first that his daughter is dead. HE WAS FATALLY HURT. Mr. James Shelly Dies of Injuries Sustained Under a Falling Wall. Mr. James Shelly died at his home, 2538 Warren street, at an early hour this morning. Internal injuries caused his death. Yesterday morning Mr. Shelly was hurt by a falling wall. A number of workmen were engaged in tear- ing down an old building at 2014 Jefferson avenue when the north wall suddenly caved into the street. All the men escaped except Mr. Shelly, who was looking at the work. He was buried under the debris. His leg was broken and his ribs crushed. Coroner Frank has been notified of the death and will hold an inquest this afternoon. Industrial Interests. A. G.

Campbell Celebrated New Year’s Eve—A Modest Young Lady Sar- prised, and au Admirer of Beauty Ar- rested—He Faced the Girl, but Dared Not Face the Court. The present whereabouts of a gentleman giving his name as Mac L. Campbell, is a problem, whose successful solution would greatly gratify the officers of the First District Police Court, Paul Kempf, who s interested in him as his bondsman to the extent of $200, and Miss Emma Schmidt, who is seeking his condign punishment for an osculatory assault made upon her on the public highway on New Year’s Eve. Any information as to the whereabouts of that gentleman will be thank- fully received by any and all ot the parties interested. Mr. Campbell did not answer when his name was calied inthe First District Police Court this morning. He was charged with disturb- ing the peace and the prosecuting witness was on hand to push the action. ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, Emma Schmidt, a young 3 employed in the Boston Laundry, was on her way to her Fourteenth.

He describes Camp- bell & a young man of perhaps 30 years, with dark complexion nd a dark moustache. He was well bullt and stood erect. The officer says Campbell made no explanation of his conduct in his presence. Paul Kempf, who went CAMPBELL’S BOND says he knows the defendant. e insists that he is employed in the office of the Western Union Telegraph Co, at Third and Olive streets and boards in the vicinity of Fifteenth and Washington avenue. Kempf says he has known Campbell for some time and knew nothing bad of him except that he would go on an occasional drunk. He thinks Campbell is ‘‘full’’ at the present time, and in this way accounts for his fallureto appear in court when his case was called this morning. He admits, however, that Campbell was not at bis place of business when he sent down to hunthim up this — The other men working in the office said he had not been at bis desk for several days. Miss Schmidt refuses to say much abeut the matter. She was frightened iby the fellow’s rude attacks, she said, and meant to make him pay for it. She had given him no cause for him to embrace her and she did not mean to submit passively to such an indignity. The lady is young and quite pretty. CHLOROFORMED BY BURGLARBS. Mra. Dr. Knuiffin Found Dead im the Bed- room of Her Residence. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 3.—The dead body of Mrs. Kulm, wife of Dr. Arthur 8. Kuimn, was found on the floor of her bed-room at her residence, No. 206 Broad street, this morning, and by her lay the unconscious figure of a young lady who had been §visiting the family. Both ha@apparently been chloroformed. The deed is supposed to have been done by bur- lars during the night. Dr. Kniffin is away in Warren County, this State, on a visit and no one but a child with thetwo women were in the house. This morning when a patient called at Dr. Kniffin’s dental parlors the door was found locked and word was sent to Dr. Shannon, Dr. Kniffin’s partner, one block away. Dr. Shannon came and opened the door and found the two ladies as above de- scribed. There were many evidences of bur- giary. Chief of Police MoOhesney has taken charge of the premises and is investigating the case. A few weeks ago the heuse was also entered by burglars. Miss Purcell, the young lady boarding with the Kniffins, was finally revived, and in an in- terview with Coroner Bower and Chief Me- Chesney said that duringthe night, possibly about 8 a. m., she was awakened by Mrs. Kniftin, who was screaming that there were burglars inthe house. Miss Purcell sprang from bed fo call for help, but was seized by a man who applied a drug to her face. Mrs. Kniffin was seized by another man who pressed the end of a bed quilt saturated with chioro- form to her nose. That was the last Miss Purceil remembered till resuscl- tated by the physicians. Miss Purcell fs still so weak that she was not pressed for a de- scription of the burglars, She has only a gen- eral idea of them. elther she nor Dr. Shan- non could say what property, if any, was stolen, although the whole house in in great confusion, every drawer being emptied and furniture scatteged about. The police say the whole house was locked up this morning, Dut one of the earliest visitors says the rear door was open. Dr. Kniffin bas en telegraphed for and on his return further light may be thrown on what now is looked upon as rather a mysterious affair, AN ENERGETIC HORSE HUNT, Mrs. Frances Gansey Regains Her Gray After a Long Search. Yesterday a replevin suit was decided by Judge Costello of Florissant that brought happiness to the heart of Mrs. Frances Gansey, anda fine gray horse to her hus- band’s stables. Readers of the Post-Dis- PATCH will remember that some time ago there arose a difficulty in tracing a horse that had been confided tothe careof a driver in the employ of Moses Fraley, osten- sibly or the 1 of allowing Mr. Fraley to the animal preparatory to purchasing it. The story told by Mre. Gan- sey is as follows: One day a man, represent- ing that he was employed by Mr. Frale ° called upon Mr. Gansey and informed h that Fraley wanted two horses, one à fast trotter for single harness and the other a fine gray colt to match a carriage horse that Gan- sey had previously sold him. Gensey did not have such animals as were required in his possession, but his wife did, and they were dent to Mr. Fraley’s stable. r some 0 Gansey called upon Fraley to ascertain whether he was pleas with the horses.

Mrs. Coates, whose children were abducted by her divorced husband, Dr. Edward H. Coates, this morning called on District Attorney Reynolds. Tne District Attor- ney has deen considering an ap- plication for a warrantagainst Dr. Coates for sending an indecent letter through the mail. The letter in question was received Wednesday morning by Mrs. Coates and in- formed her that she would never see her children again. It was printed in full, lack- ing some epithets, in the Post-DIsPpaTcH. Mr. Reynolds has not yet decided as to the warrant. The statute affecting the matter, affords but narrow * tor the prosecution to stand upon, and he will not act at present. Mrs. Coates was accompanied her brother and R. H. Murphy. They called on Assistant Postmaster McHenry to secure the assistance of the post-office in tracing the chiidren and their abductor. Mrs. Coates believes they are in St. Louis with Dr. Coates’ aon. Miss Sallie Coates, but can find no trace of her. About ll o’clock this morning Mrs. Coates appeared before Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney Dierkes and applied forawarrant. She told the story of the abduction as has been printed in the columns of the Post- DISPATCH. Mr. Dierkes then issued a warrant charging Edward H. Coates and Sallie Coates. alias Ray, with kidnaping. Mrs. Coates —.— to the information and at once left the ourts. The whole affair was conducted in the most secret manner, ali of the officiais refusing to admit that the warrant had been issued. A LUCKY DARKY. The Owner of the Hog Killed by President Harrison. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 3.—The killing of au- bert Woolen’s hog by President Harrison through mistake for a coon, promises to give that colored Virginian a national reputation. Gilbert is to-day the envy of all the darkies in the neighborhood of Ohiponax Creek, the scene of the shedding of the innocent porker’s blood by the head of the nation. Woolen has careful! preserved the carcass of the rooter, and will doubtless cure a choice ham and forward it to the White House. The housewives and plant- ers of the lower James for generations have been famous for their hams. The old darkies, who bave been brought into national prom!- nence by the President's not knowing the dif- ference between a hog and acoon will exert themselves to givethe hams of the ill-fated porker a delicacy of flavor that would make the mouth ofany club man water. Leading Virginia politicians say if this gift does not se- cure for Woolen a first-class postmastership then they don’t understand political human nature. A somewhat singular coincidence of the slaying of this hog is that it is believed to have been one of the animais which were bought of the Democrats to use atone of the numerous barbecues given in Chiponax neigh- borhood during the campaign last fall. THE ONEIDA MYSTERY. A Woman Said to Be Concerned in the As- sault on Father Kelly. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. ONEIDA, N. I., Jan. 3.—The attempted mur- der of the Rev. Father Kelly of this city early Wednesday morning is the constant subject of discussion here, and seldom has public sentiment been so thoroughly aroused. There seems to be a disposition among the friends of Fatner Kelly to suppress the facts which they have learned, and nota few seem to think that the truth of the matter will never be made public even if discovered. A well-known member of St. Patrick's ‘Church intimated that it was a woman in man’s attire who made the assault, but no facts yet discovered sub- stantiate that theory. Boy Burgliars Bagged.

Few outside of the Executive Com- mittee have any idea of the amount of work that has been quietly done and of the support that is assured this clty from sections of the country far dis- tant from Missouri. The COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN CORRESPONDENOE, under the direction of the cnairman, R. C. Kerens, have said little of what has been ac- complished by it, but when the vote in Con- gress is taken the work done by this com- mittee will show for itself. The members set to work soon after they were organized, and dave at no time intermitted their industry. State officials in all parts of the country were Gdressed, and many favorable answers were aceived, but the committeeNetermined that 1@ greatest results could be accomplished y influencing municipal officers and leading 1embers of trade organizations. The cam- ign has been conducted with great care, special pains having been taken to avoid too great publicity, as it was believed that this would have the effect of causing other cities to copy the tactics of St. Louis. The emisse ‘tes of both Chicago and New York have con- ined their attention nearly exclusively to 10 large 6 cities, but the St. Louis Immittee, while not neglecting this olnt, have gien fully as much ttention to the smaller towns and eager, The effect of this course has been cullarly happy owingto the fact that the tates to which St. Louis must look for the deciding votes are much more rural than urban in their population. AN EFFECTIVE ALLIANCE. The Committee on Foreign Correspondence has been e dy the members of the Committee on State Action. From them in- at once opened individuals, asking their. support for St. Louis. Wherever an acquaintance of a man wellknown in his section has been found among the citizens of St. Louis, he has been requested to write to his friend, and ask * a8 a personal favor to advocate the claims of this city. The com- mercial travelers connected with the different houses have also rendered most valuable assistance in this matter. The municipal officers of the smallest towns and villages have not been negiected, but in addition to receiving all the circulars issued by the aifferent committees, have been urged 0 letters to join hands - with > Louis in securing the _ World’s Fair. The results of this method of campaigning have been most encouraging, specially in the West, Southwest, and South. It was soon discovered that &t. Louis bad almost a clear field as soon as the large cities were left. Congressmen had received letters and circu- lars from both New York and Chicago, but in a large majority of instances their constitu- ents have been entirely ignored. The mana- gers of the St. Louis campaign have not only addressed the Congressmen, but many of their most influential supporters, and from the latter especially have received numerous promises of aid. The difference in the effect of arguments addressed toa Congressman by a stranger in Washington and those emana- ting from the men to whom he owes his posi- tion may be easily imagiued. EFFECTIVE ARGUMENTS. A list of those who have written, promising ald to St. Louis, has been prepared and care- fully arranged according to congressional districts, hen the committee reaches W ash- ington the Congressmen will be called upon, and the names of their constituents who de- sire them to vote for this city will be exhib- ited. Already noticé has been received from veral quarters that members of the Lower ouse who were either indifferent or favor- able to some other locality had expe- rienced a change of heart snd would support St. Louls. Of course it is much more difficult to bring this species of influence to bear upon Senators, and there- fore, even if defeated in the Upper House, the managers of the St. Louis campaign will in no wey be discouraged, but will turn their attention to the Lower House, where the real Dattl isto befought. Matters have gone far enough to prove that the support accorded to other cities is largely local, while that which St. Louis will receive is national in (its character. The friends of this city/are scattered oyer a far wider section of couptry than the advocates of any of its riva@/s, and represent a far greater variety of interests. Full use will de made of this point, and high hopes are founded upon its efficiency.

Albers Has Fears for the Reserve Fand—He Protests in Court Against the Payment of legitimate Expenses—Oul- mination of a Bow on ’Chango—Feeling Among the Directors. H. ALBERS this morning filed asuit in the Circuit Court—at a cost of $3 for filing fee—to recover one three-thousandth part of $2,682.45, namely, 89% cents. This pe- cullar action can be best understood by a ’ reading of the peti- tion, which is here printed in full: „Charles H. Albers for himself and other members of the Merchants’ Exchange vs. The Merchants’ Exchange of St. Louis, Chas. „ Cox, President; Hugh Rodgers and Alex Euston, Vice- Presidents; Frank Galennle, Charles P. Burr, Henry W. Chandler, Isaac M. Mason, John C. Fears, Charles C. Orthwein, Joseph B. Ambs, R. M. Hubbard, John B. Gandoifo and C. H. Spencer. Plaintiff suing in his own behalf and behalf of such other members of the Merchants’ Ex- change of St. Louis as may desire to come in, says thatthe Merchants’ Exchange is a cor- oration created by. the laws of the State of Jissouri and located in the city of St. Louls; that defendant Cox and defendants Rodgers and Euston are Vice-Presidents, and the remaining defend- ants are the directors of said corporation. That by the rules and regulations adopted by said corporation the government thereof is vested in the President, Vice-President and directors, and it is further provided that all financial and business concerns of said eorpor- ation shall be managed and conducted In ac- cordance with the rules by and under the di- rection of the Board of Directors. That sajd corporation consists of about $,000 members. That the Initiation fee is $2,500, and upon pay- ment thereof acertificate of membership is issudd to each individual by the corporation. That plaintiff is and has been for years past a member of said corporation, and has his cer- tificate of membership. That said corpora- tion now owns and possesses a reserve fund amounting to $500,000, which has been accu- mulated by applying from yeaf to year, as re- quired dy the rules and regulations, the an- nual surplus revenue after the payment of legitimate expenses. That said corporation has a large annual income derived from fees, fines and assessments, and the rules and regulations of the corporation provide that all such income or revenue which may remain afterthe payment of legitimate ex- penses of the corporation shall at the close of each year be added to said reserve fund, and further provides that no appropriation of money shall be made for any purpose outside of the legitimate expense of the Exchange without first submitting the same to a vote of the members after five days’ notice, by posting said notice conspicuously in the Exchange room. But plaintiff states that the Board of Directors wholly disre- garding their official duty and obligations in the premises did during the month of November, 1889, wrongfully and unlawfully ap- propriate and disburse from the treasury of the corporation thesum of $1,805,30and ap- plied the same tothe expenses and etertain- ment ofa body of men known as the Pan American visitors. For another and fourth cause of action piantiff states that on December 13, 1889, said defendants as the Board of Direc- tors did wrongſull y and unlawfully 7 and disburse from the treasury ofthe corporation the sum of $627.15 which sum they of their own motion and contrary to law applied in payment of a purchase by them made cf an option on the Planters’ House in the city of St. Louis. „For another and further cause of action the plaintiff states that on December 81, 1889, said defendants, as directors, wrongfully and unlawfully appropriated and disbursed from the treasury of the corpora tion the sum of §250, which sum they applied to the payment of the rent of»Enter- talnment Hall for the benefit of a concourse of people known as the Farmers’ aad Labor- ers’ Union. ‘*Plaintiff states thatthe appropriation and disbursements thus made onthe occasions aforesaid were not only outside the legiti- mate expenses of the Exchange, but were foreign to the business and purposes of the corporation. That it was beyond the power ofthe corporation or its directors to thus divert its funds and resources without the consent of the members; that the same was done as aforesaid without any vote of the members and contrary to their wishes; that by reason of such unlawful appropriations and disbursements said sums were prevented from being added to the reserve fund as re- quired to be, and said corporation and all its members, including plaintiff are injured and damaged thereby. The petition closes with the prayer that the defendants be compelled to repay the sums mis appropriated, with interest, or that judg- ment be rendered to the use of the corporation against the officers for the money. O. H. ALBERS was seen at his office opposite the Merchants’ Exchange in reference to the suit brought by him. Mr. Albers is not unaccustomed to legal complications with the board of directors, as he has just won asuit in the Circuit Court for the recovery of a fine of $50 imposed upon him for smoking on Change. In answer to a question Mr. Albers said: ‘‘The matter is a very simple one. Either the Board of Directors bad a right to appropriate this money or they had no such right. By the constitution they are authorized to make appropriations * meet all the regular legitimate expenses of the Exchange, and all other appropriations must be made by a vote of the members. The question is whether the expenditure of over $1,800 for the entertainment of the Pan-American Congress, that of more than $600 for an option on the Planters’ House roperty and that of $250 to pay fora all for the Farmers’ Convention to meet in can be classed under the head of legitimate expenses. As I look at the matter they are not, und I am by no means alone in my opinion. Some ofthe directors, I understand, take the same view of the matter, and many members of the Exchange. The matter could argued from now until doomsday before an conclusion was reached, and therefore 1 thin that it ought to be brought before the courts at once, If they decide that such entertainments timately tobe subscribed to by the ot Directors without 8 the d. cide — . ͤluqA home by sickness. R. M. Hubbard, a member of the Board of Directors, said: „1 had beard that this suit wan to doe brought, and therefore was not surprised at it. The matter was fully discussed by the Board of Directors, particularly at the time whenthe question of appropriating §250 to pay fora hall for the Farmers’ Oonvention came up. Several members objected to the Merchants’ Exchange paying for a hall the occupants of which were busily engaged in denouncing us, and did not think that we had any right to the money of the Ex- change for any such purpose. The majority took a contrary view. Ofcourse it would be impossible.to give a decided opinion on the matter until the exact form of the petition is exawined, but it will be argued by the board of directors that the constant practice has been to set aside money for the entertainment of the guests of the city, and that this has long been recognized as a legitimate expense.“ Opinion on the floor was somewhat divided, some holding that the point raised by Mr. Albers was well taken and others believing that there was nothing in it. It was also be- lievea by some that in his individual capacity Mr. Albers would have no standing in court, and that he could not sue without some further authority.

ROANOKE, Va., Jan. 3.—About two months ago two white girls, aged 14 and 12 years, respectively, were criminally assaulted in Montgomery County. Subsequent develop- ments fastened the crime upon a man named Akers and a 19-year-old boy named Cooper. They were lodged in jail about three weeks ago. An attempt to lynch them was pre- vented by Judge Junkins of the County Court, hiding them in the weeds until they could be returned to Lynchburg. The second attempt was frustrated by removing them to Salem. They were taken to Christiansburg Monday. for trial. The hands of the people were kept off them only by an earnest appeal from the Judge, and his pledge that jus tice would be meted out, and Wedau es- day Akers was sentenced to twenty years inthe penitentiary. The people were dissatisfied with the verdict and would have lynched the prif®ners that night had not Judge Junkins again removed them from the all in the darkness. He telegraphed the ayor of Roanoke yesterday morning that the Sheriff and prisoners had left and asked that they be protected from violence, but up to a late hour last night the Sheriff with his prisoners had not arrived and it is feared that they have fallen victims to mob violence. Men froin Montgomery were arriving in Roanoke allday yesterday and were watching every avenue of a. Sentries were also posted at all the intervening stations on the rallroad and men were patrolling the country roads. Ifthe Sheriff oau reach this city his men will be safe, but it is feared that he will never get them here alive. PARLOR LAMPS— Clearing saie to-day At marvelously low prices. See them.

The girl is Kathaleen n and according to her story she was, Until a month ago, the wife ot Sir Francis Austin, a Baron of Aber- deen, said to bea barrister of standing in Northern Scotland. A little over two years ago this girl, with a babe but 3 months old in her arme, in order to escape, as she says, the cruelties of her husband, ught a passage at Aberdeen, Scotiand, for Indianapolis. ya ruse she slipped away from her husband, and without a protector and only a small sum of money she took passage for America. Ar- riving in Indianapolis, friendless and almost moneyless, she sought aid and obtained ai situation as a servant girl. The child is in Olney, III., where she had sent It to be taken care of. In the meantime, Sir Francis Austin ascertained that his young wife had got a passage to Indianapolis, and had come here to look for her. He had ad- vertised for her, and these advertisements Lady austin had seen. When her baby died she was so overcome with grief that she noti- fied her husband of her whereabouts and the death oftheir child. Sir Francis had the dead babe embalmed and took it to New York, from where he shipped it to Aberdeen for burial. He returned from New York, and has since been importuning his wife to return their mansion at Aberdeen. She retuses to 52 back with him, and states that they lived happily in Scotland until another woman attrac the attention of her husband, which soon caused trouble, and to get rid of her the Baron had her putin an insane asylum, from which she escaped.

Sr. Paul, Minn., Jan. 2.—A peculiar suit for damages has been begun against the Northern Pacific Road by Frank B. Hooper, traveling agent from Dayton, O., who seeks to recover $10,000. Last Saturday night, a frightfully stormy one, Mr. Hooper mounted atrain at Glyndon, Minn. In traveling he always gets on at the front end of a train, he avers, as his cash registers are delicate pieces of mechanism and require his personal care to keep from being roughly handled. He jumped on the train at Glyndon between the first coach and the baggage car. He carried two Fgrips. He tried to get in front door of the passenge coach, but the conductor after toopen it for a moment, declared it was locked and leisurely strolled away down the car aisle, although Hooper begged to be taken in, as it was then blowing at a great rate and was very cold. By this time the train was going at a highspeed. Hooper tried to keep is feet by hanging on to the Me ps ange BO In thie way he Fargo.

Eadward MoGuire Arraigned Before Judge Campbell on Two Charges. In the Court of Criminal Correction Judge Oampbell held Edward McGuire to the Grand- jury in the sum of $1,000 in each of two cases docketed against him for assault to kill. On the morning of November 1] last McGuire met Officers Phillips and Cox at the corner of Broadway and Florida street. Pulling his pistol from his pocket he placed it against Of- ficer Phillips’ head and sent a ball into his mouth. Phillips fell, his jaw broken and three teeth knocked out. Cox then sprang at McGuire, who fired the remaining four shots fullat him. The first struck Cox in the right thigh, the second missed, the third hit him in the left shoulder ‘and the fourth burned his forehead. Notwithstanding their wounds the officers overpowered the man and held him until assistance could be summoned. When their wounds were dressed it wes found that the bullet which struck Officer Phillips in the mouth had passed out of his cheek, while the first ball, which hit Cox, went entirely through bis thigh, ust missing the bone.

Rabbi &pitz, editor of the Jewish Voice, hasa two-column article in to-day’s issue ‘‘expos- lng, as he says, a young Jew whom be al- leges bas been practicing deceit upon prom!- nent St. Louis Christians. Five or six months ago, we cannot recall the exact time, a young man of good appear- ance and pleasing address stopped us in the street and introduced himself asa young law student by the name of Sulzman. He had been studying law somewhere inlowa. He wished to 2 where he could get a Hebrew Bible. was prattling away after the + ve of an empty-headed boy, and disclosing himself to us as an absolute infidel. Hedid not believe in the stories of the Bible, and the metbods of the Talmud, ashe had learned them at home in Russiun Poland, did not suit him. Would we give him permission to occasionally call at our office? He was so eager to commune with an intelligent man. Of course we extended him our invitation, What was he doing in the city? Oh, well, he gave lessons in He- brew and English to children—in fact, he had a class of children whom he instructed in English (he cannot pronounce it correctly, nor can he speak itin any way grammatically; he is as ignorant in Englishas he is in He- brew). Well, having named the firm where he could obtain a Hebrew Bible, we left bim. Since then he met us on various occasions, alwaysin the street. Gradually the young man, or rather boy, for he is apparently not older than 20 years, aroused in us the suspi- cion that he was not what he appeared to be. About six weeks ago we met him again stand- ing on the corner ofa street, where he evi- dently had been waiting for the opportunity, in company with Mr. Stevens, a well- known zealous Christian who would very much like to convert all the Jews. He was introduced to us by Sulzman, and, handing us a circular with the plan of the ancient Tabernacle, show- ing Christ in the center, work of Mr. Steyens, this man inquired if we would him permissien to lecture on the subject be- fore our congregation in our temple. Our suspicion now grew into conviction: Sulzman was a missionary hireling! But he is smart enough to always appear as a—fool. We heard of a young Jew preaching every Sabbath afternoon to Jews at Mr. Niedring- haus’ new mission-house. But the name of the man was Glotzman. We investigated the matter thoroughly, and, finding himself cor- nered, we suppose, the fellow at last called at our office. There, in the pres- ence of several persons, we unmasked — = We have learned that he draws 3 stipends, from Messrs. Scruggs $10 or $15, Congressman Niedringhaus $10, Mathews of Mathews & Lafferty $5, and from other equally prominent Christians, whose names we could not ascertain. He con- stantly boasts of being supported by these gentiemen, also that Mr. Cupples intends sending him to some college. * * * At our office he has as much as confessed thathe goes by the double name of Sulzman and Glotz- man. He says he is the son of a Raboi—a man balling from his place says this is not true. One of the gentlemen named above as hav- ing contributed to Sulsman or Glotzman’s support was seen to-day and acknowledged that he had done so, but not for the amount stated. He had agreed to give $2 a month to the young man. Besides this, however, he had made him a contribution to buy an over- coat and some underwear. The young man, he said, had called on hima number of times and bad impressed bim most favorably. He knew nothing about him, except what had told himself at ad been informed — Protestant ministers. Glotzman (for that was the name he knew him by) had invited — to come up tothe meetings he was hold- ing In Memorial Chapel a number of times, but he never had time to do so. Some of the Protestant ministers had also been invi He knew nothing about the duplicity u ‘which the youne Hebrew was charged, but was loath to believe 18. Ethical Society News, Mr. Wm.
