The Signal Service report of the observa- tions taken last evening at 6:59 o’clock and printed in the morning papers contains some curious matter. At that hour, according to the report, Galveston was suffer- ing with the mercury 6 deg. be- low zero, while at Brownsville, Tex. the temperature was 72 degs. above zero and all other stations in that belt were nearly as high. Then Buflalo was reported 4 degs. below zero while Oswego was 48 degs. 1 egs. above. There were other strange freaks re- ported which astonished the people this morning. Lieut. Day of the Signal Corps was asked for an explanation of the phenomena this morning. Hesaid: ‘‘I have not yet seen the man who took the report, but I know he hase made mistakes. He is a green hand, and evidently did the work last night without as- sistance. IShall see that it does not occur n.’ | No Relief in Sight. „1 hope for better weather to-morrow,’’ said Lieut. Day ofthe Signal Service to-day. The chances are, though, that there will be Ietie change inthe temperature, and that we shall have rain and sleet. The Blizzard Abated.

The Market Men Raised Money, but Did Not Pay It Over. One Member of the House, However, Re- ceived Money, but, Being Scared Into the Belief That He Would Go to the Peni- tentiary, Brought It Back—Meier Meyer Gives an Amusing Explanation of Why the Subscriptions Were Started—The Market Men Intended, He Says, to Im- prove the Market Themselves—How an Official and a Delegate Entered Compet - ing Bids for Boodle. BOODLE was raised to influence the Municipal Assembly on the Union Market Arcade bill also. The market men, it will be remembered, Were as much opposed to the bill as the merchants were in favorofit. The vegeta- bie dealears especially. whose stands sre on the outside, considered that the fancy structure pPoposed would be the ruination of their business. They determined to prevent the passage of the.billof possible. Their frame of mind was particularly favora- bletothe wiles of the boodler, andit was not long after they had de- clared their undying opposition to the measure before the Assembly that they were approached by an officer of the Assembly, who is not a member of either house, and Informed in a quiet way that $6,000 would knock the arcade bill higher than Gil- deroy's kite. Six thousand dollars was a dig amount for the market men to raise, and they informed the person who approached them that they thought the task would be attended with considerable difticulty. The next week they were approached by a member of the House, who claimed to repre- sentacombine of seventeen votes, and who assured them that $4,000 would be sufficient to beat the bill. This proposition came more within the limit of the stall-keepers’ means, and it carried additional weight with them from the fact that it was made by a man who ought to know whereof he spoke. They decided to raise the money and set aboutto golicit subscriptions. They did not meet with the most flattering success but finally got together the boodle. Several of the men who were asked for sub- scriptions to the fund refused to contribute on the ground that those who engaged in any such undertaking were liable to find them- selves before the Grand Jury in time to give an account of their conduct. The men who were prominent in the matter, however, seemed to have no such apprehen- sion untilsome of the Broadway merchants heard of what was being done and threatened an expose. Then the market men who had gone into the affair began to become alarmed that they might experience trouble if they were to carry out the agreement which had been en- tered into with the leader of the combine, and they held a meeting to discuss the mat- ter. The result was that a decision was — that the money had better not be used. The market men hated to give up the money in the first place, and when they saw that its payment was likely to cause them to be brought up in court they decided that it would be best not to part with it. Their fear of consequences, however, was not the only reason which induced them to arrive at such a conclusion. They had another. It was this: A sufficient number of the members of the House had piedged them- selves to vote against the bill, and the market men did not believe they would go back on their word even if they did not receive the money expected. They soon learned the fallacy of such an opinion, and though they have been condemning euer since the perfidity of some of the legisiators, they are congratulating themselues that they dia not part with any of their ‘‘stuff,’’ Deing in- clinedto think that had they done so, they would now have to mourn the loss of their money as well as the defeat of their bill. All the money they gave out, as far as can be learned was . back to them. This was given to a member of the House of Delegates, who after accepting it was so frightened by friends that he returned the money to those from whom he received it. SUBSCRIPTIONS WERE STARTED. The marketmen now that the bill has passed are loath to say ö about how they at- tempted to defeat it. ‘hey content them- selves damning certain members of the House who went back onthem. This morn- ing Mr. John Grundemeyer who was alleged to have been one ofthe principal movers to secure the defeat of the bill, mentioned toa Post-DISPATCH reporter the name ot one of the delegutes who he said bad promised him faithfully to sup- port the bill and afterwards went back on his pledge, and it isa singular fact that this very delegate is the man whom it was learned from another source, accepted money from the market men and afterwards re- turned it. It may be that he considered bis act of contrition wolud not be complete with- out voting for the bill as well as return- ing the money which he had received to sup- pose it; but the market men place a different construction upon bis course. On the ob- ject of the subscriptions, Mr. Grundemeyer und others are very non-communicative, but authentic information in regurd to the at- tempts to raise money was nevertheless se- cured. Subscriptions were solicited and the prime movers in the scheme persevered in their purpose until they accomplished it. A MARKET MAN’S STORY. A market man, who for reasons which wil be obvious, objected to the mention of bisa name, was seen by a POST-DISPATCH reporter to-day, and when asked about the fund to beat the arcade bill, said: That such a fund was raised Ihave the best of reasons for be- — ‘I was asked to contribute toit; not once, but three times. I refused, and told those who were getting it up that they were most liable to get themselves before the Grand-jury, and Idid not want to be with them. Even after that they did not let me alone, but sent me anoticeto attenda meet- ing which was held, for what purpose I don’t know.’ „Did you ever learn whether the amount asked by the leader of the combine bad been raised or not?“ Ido not know whether it was or not. You see, after refusing to contribute and staying away from the Meeting I was counted out, and was not told anything. I learned, bow- ever, that money had been given to a certain delegate, and that he afterwerds became 80 fearful of exposure that he returned it.“ GRUNDEMEYER WON'T TALK. John Grundemeyer, who nas astand on the east side of Union Market and who is alleged to have been one of those who most interested themselves in having the bill defeated, was seen by « Post-DIsPATCH reporter this morn- ing. He was not inclined to tell much. When asked whether he had not been approached by a certain person who offered to knock out the bill for $6,000 he said: „No, not me; I know nothing about it. „Didn't a delegate who professea to bea leader of a coinbine come to you, Mr. Grunde- meyer, and say that the bill could be knocked out for $4,000? No, not me.““ „Wo, then?“ „don't know.’’ Do you mean to deny that such a proposi- tion was ever made!“ Not to me. **Did r never hear ot such an offer?“ „Well, I don't want to say nothing 2 ea ee. ' ru > * 2 7 : * 4 * 4 * 5 ¥ * 1 4 * ** 3 85 . . * ig cs, 4 sf * 7 7 Pie ; 11 f 4 4 in rs . a 7 * 77 . ‘ 600 for art Saye „ was the evasive reply, ae of t a said Mr. Grunde- meyer, continuing, and with an apparent de- sire to get away from that course of inquiry which was being pursued, ‘‘did not stand by us as they promised. Ono of them [giving the name] promised me positively a few days be- fore the bill came up that he would vote 8 it, and when it came up he voted for Dia he give a promise to any one else de- sides yourself?“ „Well, never mind now. The bill’s passed and what's the use of talking. AN AMUSING EXP ATION. Next to Mr. Grundemeyer, the most prom- inent mover against the arcade bill was prob- 8 Me ler Meyer, who has an interest with M. B. Curtis in the fish stands at Union Mar- ket. e was also seen to-day and like Grundemeyer, at first professed compre- hensive ignorance. He denied that the prop- osition from the delegate or from anybody to defeat the bill by boodle had been made to him or that be knew of It. Four thousand dollars, hesaid; ‘‘why you couldn’t raise that amount in the market, It would pe impossible. It is positively known that you tried, how- ever. said the reporter. Meyer looked slightly astonished at this as- sertion and said: Tes; we did go around * day, but found n was no go and gave u _ oF “What were you trying to raise money for if it was not to accept a proposition which had been made to you, or to make one yourself?“ „Why we had an idea of improving the market ourselves. Mr. Meyer evidently never considered for moment the incompatibility of his stateme that it would be almost an impossibility to raise $4,000 in the market for any purpose, with his assertion that he had undertaken to start a subscription for that which it had been generally acknowledged could not be done at all for less than twenty times that amount. GETTING THE APPROPRIATION. The Union Market arcade appropriation had avery hard struggle when it was first sug- gested, which lasted untilthe general appro- priation bill was passed. The Board of Public Improvements recom- mended an appropriation, and the Broadway merchants, who were behind the plan push- ing it strongly, wanted a good round sum. Various amendments were made to the particular section on the Union Mar- ket, ranging from $100,000 down to the amount finally appropriated which was $45,000 making a total for the market adding the $5,000 previously set aside for sidewalks, of $50,000 it was thought at the time that the amount would not be sufficient, but the Comptroller insisted that other matters of more importance, such as the Street Depart- ment, were us far benind as it was and needed the money worse than the market did. Fin- ally, after a good deal of fuss and trouble, the $45,000 went through and the board was au- thorized to go ahead and make plans. Here the Citizens’ Committee of Broadway mer- chants came forward and requested that they be allowed to’make plans at their own ex- pense anc according to their ideas, The permission was gladly granted and the plans were mide out and submitted some time ago. Since then according to Building Commis.- sioner Furlong it has been found that a build- ing put up according tothe plans submitted would be too light and flimsy and so the plans have gone back to the place they orig- inated and it is now estimated that $20,000 more is needed for a sultabie building.

STEPHEN PETTUS’ SLAYER PASSES AWAY IN THE TOMBS PRISON. — A Sad sene in the Gloomy Cell—The Mur - deress’ Mother and Brothers at Her Death-Bed—Heart Failure the Cause of the Woman’s Death—The Sensational Killing of Pettus. NEw YORK, Jan. 7.—Mrs. Hanna B. South - worth, who shotand killed Stephen Pettus on Fulton street early on the morning of Novem- ber 22 last, died in her cell at the Tombs prison at 6:15 this morning. Her mother, Mrs. Ellen T. Martin, and her brothers, George E. E. and William B. Martin, were at her bedside when she expired. The Coroner has been notified of her death. Dr. Chetwood, who granted the death certifi- cate, places the time of death at 2:30 o’clock, and gives as the cause of death primarily : heart failure and general debility. The death of Mrs. Southworth is Gesoribed as having been peaceful. The grief of the dead woman’s mother was painful to witness. The body of Mrs. Southworth wasted almost to a frame. As soon as Coronor Schultz reached his office he issued an order permitting the removal of the body to Brooklyn, where it will remain at the residence of her brother until Thursday. Then it will be removed to Greenwood Ceme- tery and placed ina receiving vault tempo- rarily. As soon as Mrs. Martin is prepared to return to her Southern home, she will arrange for the removal of the body to Louisville for final interment in the family lot there. The Tragedy. At 9 o’clock on the morning of November 22 New York was shocked by one of the most sensational tragedies which ever occurred in that city. Stephen L. Pettus was sbot down on Fulton street by Hannah B. Southworth of Brooklyn, the murderess delfberately shoot- ing five buliets into his body in less than one minute, and then passively standing over the bloody corpse of ber betrayer until Officer Goodwin took her in charge. Pettus had. just stepped 844 — boat at the foot of Fulton street and walked briskly along until he arrived in front of Bennett’s tea store, at No. 10 Fulton street. There he * an instant and pulled out his watch. A beavily veiled and richly dressed woman who had followed him from the ferryboat then stepped up behind him and pulling a small revolver from under her plush cloak fired a bullet into his back. Pettus reeled and the woman fired again putting another bullet Into his back. Pettus then turned toward her and raised his hand as though to ward offa blow, Another shot rang outand theman’s wrist was smashed. His arm fell limp at his side. He staggered toward a door. The woman fired again. This time bis face was covered with blood. Every shot had struck him. He grasped the handle of the door of Bennett’s tea store, No. 10. Again the woman raised the revolver and fired. This time the man was struck inthe stomach. The door gave way and the wan fell. He was dead. With the smoking revolver still in her hand the woman stood contemplating the bloody corpse, unmindful of the crowd which had gathered around thespot. There was a babel of voices. A policeman, William Goodwin of chitis and other ailments, She was 80 Ill } night that two physicians Pall night. the First Precinct, ran upfrom the corner of Front street. He touched her on the arm. She turned to him, heiplessiy, and he took | away the pistol. The crowd had gathered | close around the two. Acilerk ran out of the tea store. „Is this your husband?’’ he asked. No, he is not. I bave nothing to fear nor to live for. This man took my honor away. The crowd was pressing closer and she turned to the policeman. ‘*Please don’t be rough with me. She spoke pieadingly. He led her away and she said no more. He offered her his arm. She refused it and walked at his side. Nota word did she speak again till she was in Capt. McLaughlin’s office. ‘‘I murdered that man, she said, calmly, assively still, as in a dream. Hanns B. outhworth. Iam gladIdidit. I have noth- ing further to say, and I will not tell you where I live’’— She paused a momentand then said witha quiver of the lips. — ‘for my mother’s sake. Her veil was gently removed and the officers were astonished at the vision of loveliness which met their gaze. A piquant face sur- rounded by a halo of golden hair, blue, dreamy eyes, a finely chiseled nose with sen- sitive nostrils ane perfect lips, although with- out a particle of color in them. Sbe appeared about 25 years old although her age was after- ward ascertained to be 30 years. She sat calmly down, and settled into com- plete apathy, refusing to answer any more questions; once she gave way and throwing up her hands cried n „He ruined me. He as got his just deserts. She was then gently led into a cell where — aan down on a chair with her face in her ands. Inspector Williams ordered the woman brought before him. She was as white as marbie. Fortwo hours the Inspector ques- tioned her closely, but was unabie to gain any coherent statement from ber in that time un- til suddenly she broke down. In agony she stood up and cried: Ishot that man. Iam glad that I did. He ruined me, he dishonored me, he betrayed He took me once to an evil house in Brooklyn; we both lived there, he decoyed methere, he drugged me, he accomplished his vile design, and then he threw me off like an old rag. „Why, that man—’’ She stopped, overcome with emotion. Her wrongs surged in on her memory, the wrongs of others came to her mind. Shetrembied as she went on. that man! Do you know éwhat be has done?

The next day he sent his wife’s brother to let Mrs. Southworth know that his wife knew all, and to warn her to be quiet. Then bis wife shall hear my story,’’ she yelled, and jumping into a cab she rushed to the Pettus residence, She met urs. Pettus, found her husband . fessed and then told her side of the ir.

She called a cab, was driven to ber mother’s house and there for the first time, she claimed, told her mother of her shame. Since then she has been on Pettsu’ track ever since. His lawyers tried to settle mat- ters, but could do nothing. He had frequent but unsuccessful interviews. No settlement could be reached. She had several scenes with him on the street, and often threatened violence. It had become a monomania with ner to persecute Pettus. On the day of the killing, George W. Martin spoke as follows: „One of our rich relatives here in Brooklyn —a second cousin—said some time ago that we should put Hannah in an asylum.’ „% Asylum? lasked. ‘No. Let her kill him.

Pettus, although a resident of Brooklyn for nearly a quarter of & —— was a Tennessean by birth and and a native o Nashville. Hie father had been a prominent merchant of that city, and at his death left Stephen and his sister a competence. Shortly after the close of the war, in which he had participated upon the Confederate side, he came to New York and engaged in business. He met with only partial success for a few but finally became associated with Reuben T. Pollard of No. 115 Gates avenue, Brooklyn, and they fora num- ber of years conducted a successful tobacco commission and brokerage business at No. 54 Broad street, this city. He was Secretary and Treasurer of both the Brooklyn and Union Elevated Railroad Cos. and a trustee and the largest shareholder in each. It was in 1884 that he, with Edward Lauterbach, Elbert Snedeker, Fred Ubimann, Isaac Lewis, Henry W. Putnam and others, purchased the then ‘*Bruff’’ Elevated road and franchise from R. B. Floyd Jones and W. F.

LEE-DEMING LIABILITIES, Failure of the Grocer Company Not Ke- garded as Hopeless. Julius Wolf of New York, a sardine-packer and dealer in olives, who lost and recovered at the Southern Hotelafew days ago a valise containing $100,000 in securities, is the prin- cipal single creditor of the Lee-Deming Grocer Co., which yesterday confessed juda- ment on his claim. Frank L. Deming says the grocer company is not hopelessly involved. It owes $150,000 to creditors in New York,Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and San Francisco; $20,000 to the Merchants’ Bank of St. Louis, $2,500 to John Monroe & Son of New York, $1,500 to W. H. Cole & Co., London, and §2,500 in small St. Louis accounts. The company was formed in August, 1888, and has been doing a good bust ness. The stock on hand is worth $118,000 and the book accounts $148,000, which gives an excess of assets over liabilities of $22,000. r. G. M. Stewart, attorney for Lee & Deming, said this morning that he wished to make a correction in the report published this morning. He said that the confessed judg- ment Wolff & Ressing was $68,090, in reality there was much more. When Lee 4 Deming started in business they had no capital of their own and borrowed $50,000 of Wolff & Ressing on their individual notes, also giviug these gen- tlemen $50,000 worth of stock in the corpora- tion which they agreed to form. This was done, but Lee & Deming found it necessary to borrow more money to the amount of $68,000 from Wolff & Ressing, thus bringing the amount of their indebtedness to this firm up to 1118, 000. & Deming were confident that they were doing a good busi- ness and wrote te Mr. Wolff, advising the 1 in of more money. Mr. Wolff came to t. Louls, but on examining the firm’s bal- ance sheet found a shrinkage of $30,000. He then advised the firm to quit the business, — — was the cause oftheir assignment yes- terday. Mr. Wolff was seen by a reporter and stated that the above facts were correct. A NUMBER OF ATTACHMENTS.

There Willi Be Sufficient Data for Solid Guess ing in a Short Time—A Big Rush of Con- testants Comes In To-Day and Yesterday —Some Questions Answered—Full Details to Date. Before noon to-morrow the committee of United States Senators who are to hear the claims of the various cities which want the World’s Fair willhave met. St. Louls will be the first pleader. Her speakers and her committee are on hand, ready and anxious. As soon as the committee is ready, the argument in favor of St. Louis will begin. Chicago will follow St. Louis. New York has asked for delay, and will begin its argument on Saturday at 10 a. m. Washington has not yet chosen its hour. It is very evident, there- fore, tbat there will be plenty of material for World's Fair guessing this week. The intelli- gent guesser will be able to get the figures more definitely after he has heard the argu- ments. He will be able to tell the strength each place has from the claims made for it. He will be able to amend his guesses in various ways, At the same time, persons who have held off until now can get at definite results and shape their figures ac- cordingly. It should be remembered that this is a ‘‘guessing maten,“ and that the person who waits until the question of the location has become def - nite, will be too late entirely to guess. Con- jectures are the only things that can be sent in. Absolutely correct results cannot be looked for. The man who is waiting to make a dead sure tning of it in the end has almost a certain chance of being lett. GUESSES IN NUMBERS.

Mr. McComas of Maryland offered a resolu- tion that the House resolve itself into a com- mittee of the whole forthe consideration of the District of Columbia appr priation bill— the committee to be governed by the rules of the last Congress. Mr. Breckinridge raised the question of con- sideratiou against the resolution, and the Speaker ruled that the yuestion of considera- tion could not be raised against the resolution because the resolution was in the nature of a motion regulating the business of the House. Mir. Breckinridge appealed from the de- who vigorously attacked the He argued that no ques- jon of consideration could be raised against a motion to xo into the committee of the whole, but the 1 resolution went far beyond that and provided temporarily, it was entucky, true, for a code of rules.

A Resolution to Have Extra Teachers ia the Schools to Be Acted On To-Night, The Teacher Committee and Joint Commit- tee of the Teachers and Course of Study Com- mittees will hold meetings this evening. At the meeting of the Joint Committees quite an important question will be considered. It is that of making a radical change in the plan for providing the with substitutes. The change was suggested by Mr. O'Connell in a resolution offered in the board a couple of months ago. The resolution was referred to the Joint Committee and will be acted on this evening. The purport of the resolution is this: Hereafter instead of pro- viding the schools with substitutes direct from the office they will be stationed regularly in the schools, and those young ladies who are in the last six months of their normal course will be selected for this duty. This practical training is to take the place of their last halt year of nor- mal instruction. The principal argument in fuvor of the change is that it would save the board considerable money, as sub- stitutes are now paid 2 a day, and under the new system there would be no expense but their car fare. Some of the principals favor the plan and some are opposed toit. The Normal School teachers object to it on the grounds that it would interfere greatly with their course. Mr. O’Uonnell’s proposition is simply the old pian of furnishing extra teachers to the schools. The plan proved un- satisfactory before, because substitutes thus assigned were in nearly all of at record work. Under Mr. O’Connell’s reso- lution, however, they cannot be assigned to more than a halt an hour’s record work a day. The rest must be devoted to teaching. RAIDED IN THE RAIN, A Squad of Police Captures a Company of Faro Players. About 10 o’clock last night eight men slipped out of the side entrance tothe Four Courts and hurried down Twelfth street to Chestnut. All were dressed in citizens’ clothes. Iwo of them ocarried ladders, while a third bad a short-handled ax. At Locust street they turned and went east to Seventh, then south and crossed Oliye. The men were De- tectives Moberly and Kelly and six special olice officers. Arriving ut Scott’s saloon Moberly and one man went up the side hall stairs and knocked Ioudiy on the door. In the meantime the two ladders were against the Seventh street side of the bulidings and Kelly and an assistant were indus- triously smashing the windows. They could not enter, however, as heavy iron bars on the Inside blocked their progress. By tearing down the curtain, however, they were enabled to see what disposition the in- mates made of the outfit, and they improved the opportunity. Finally Moberly got a wedge under the hall door and proceeded to force the fastenings. Some one on the inside then slipped the bolt and the officers entered. They found thir- teen men in the room, a faro outfit in a trap under the flooring and a quantity of money and chips in a water bucket which stood on the floor. The patrol wagon took the crowd to the Central District Station where they registered and were bailed out. Warrants will be sworn out either this afternoon or to-morrow morning charging Henry Lewis and Robert White with a felony in running a game of faro, and against William Weatherford, Lewis Hornet, John Clark, Harry Emory, Dennis Calhoun, William H. Jeffries, William Benson, Thomas E. Corcoran, Adam R. Peppett, Gus H. Cook and Roy B. Shaumway with a misdemeanor in playing ata game of chance for money. The game ia owned by Tom Walsh, but was temporarily in charge of Lewis and W bite. e A PLEA FOR A LO‘ TERY VENDER. R. M. Goode Appeals to the Court of Ap- penls to Release His Client. Late yesterday evening the three judges ofthe Court of Appeals made an order com- manding Jailer Callahan to produce the body of Samuel Alexander in court Wednesday morning at 10:30 o’clock, when arguments for a writ of habeas corpus would be heard, Thisis the result of Robert M. Goode’s efforts. When Alexander was found guilty of selling lottery tickets by Judge Campbell and fined, and then thrown in jail for failure to pay the fine, Mr. Goode said it was against the law. He claims the court has no “right to fine or imprison according to the statutes under which Alexander was prosecuted and fined. He made application to Judge Normile forawritof habeas corpus, but it wus re- fused, and he appealed to the Court of Appeals. A COStLY BLAZE, Fire at Springfield, Mo.,, Damages a Number of Buildings. By Telerraph to the Posr-Disra ron. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 7.—Last night fire broke out in the Rogers millinery establish- ment on the south side of the square, and in less than five minutes four buildings were on fire. Tne fire company responded to the alarm promptly, and with great difficulty checked the fire, but not until about $15,000 worth of property had been destroyed. The rain probably prevented the destruction of the entire business part of the city. The ioss ig largely covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. ABOUT TOWN.

Attacked by a She Wolf. By Telegranh to the Post-DIsPATOH. FORT SMITH, Ark., Jan. 7.—Sunday after- noon, in the Boston Mountains, some twenty miles north of here, two boys named George and Charles Gray were out in the woods and found what they supposed were two pupples, lying under the ledge of a rock. They caught the animais, which snarled and bit viciously, and sturted home. The — ygaha puppies were a air of cub wolves, and before the boys had gone far they were suddenly attacked by a large she wolf, mother of the cubs, and both were terribly bitten and scratched. The boys drew their pocket koives in delense, and after a hard fight killed the wolf, Cut on the Arm. Between9 and 10 o’cloge last night Ben Stokes, John Manion and George Lebig quar- reled at the corner of Broadway and Cass evenue. Lebig drew a knife and cut Manion in the left side.

HE MAY SELL OYSTERS. A Decision by Judge Dillon Releases a Man From His Contract Notes. Contracts with employes by incorporated companies, forms the subject of a ruling made by Judge Dillon this morn- ing in the case of the Bowman Dairy Co. against John T. Mooney, wherein the the dairy company tried to enjoin Mooney selling oysters, claiming to have a contract with him whereby heagreed not to sell oysters fortwo years. Judge Dillon says: ‘*Plaintiff was incorporated to buy and sell Gairy products, especially milk butter, chee and ice cream, and to purchase and hold and mortgage selland dispose of such real estate and per- sonal property as its purposes should require. In September last it bought out a firm engaged in buying and selling oysters in this city, in whose empl defendant had been. At the same time. plaintiff entered intoa contract with defendant by which it agreed to employ bim to drive an oyster wagon at a salary of $18 a week, and on the other hand defendant agreed not to sell oysters for himself or any other person while in the employ of plaintiff, nor within two years after leaving its service. The petition alleges that defen- dant remained only afew days in the employ of plaintiff? when he quit its service and started in business for himself, selling oysters in violation of his contract. On the filing of the petition a tempo- rary injunction was granted. Defendant now moves to have this injunction dissolved for the reason that under its charter the plalatiff had no right or authority to en- gaze in the business of buying and selling oysters, nor as an incident to such business to enter Into said contract with defendant. It seems plain that plaintiff! was not empowered b its charter to engage in the oyster business. It was chartered expressly for the purpose of buying and sell- ing dairy products, especially milk, butter, cheese and ice cream. Oysters are not a product of the dairy. It is contended with much ability that defendant is not in a position to question the right of plalutiff to engage in this business or to make the said contract. Incase of executed contracts where the party has received the consideration or benefit, it is true he will not be heard to say that the corporation in contracting with him exceeded its charter powers. But in the case of an executory contract such as this, the rule fs not the same, especially is this so where the corporation is ina court of equity seeking to have such a contract specifi- cally enforced. It would seem even in the absence of authority in- congruous for a court of equity to actively assista corporation in carrying into effect a contract. which it was not author- ized to make. The authorities, in my opin- ion, sustain this view. The motion to dis- solve the temporary Injunction will be gus- tained.’’ OTHER RULINGS. Judge Dillon also made rulingsin the fol- lowing cases: Loesch vs. Henricks; motion for a new trial overruled, Eitel vs. Woydt; same. Hackstaff vs. Estinger; same. Vogel vs. Missouri Wrecking Co.; motion to set aside judgment overruled. St. Joseph’s Convent of Mercy vs. Hunt et al; demurrer to petition overruled.

KEEPS THEM TOO BUSY. NEW YORK UNDERTAKFRS HARD PRESSED BY THE GRIPPE. A Complaint of Too Much Business—Hearses Scarce—A Number of Railroad Men at Chinton, Io., Prostrated—Lincoln, Neb., Afflicted—Mild Cases in Arkansas— Spread of the Epidemic in London, By Telegranvh to the Post-Dis°ATcH. New Tonk, Jan. 7.—Apropos the grip. No class of men in this community willbe more overjoyed at the grippe’s decline than the un- dertakers, who for the past few days have been terribly pressed to attend properly to all their orders. Undertaker Leonard of Bank street sald yesterday that every hearse in the city was in use on Sunday and also every one that could be obtained in Brooklyn and Jer- sey Oity. Yesterday, however, no trouble was experienved in getting hearses and carriages, nor is any appre- hended for the future unless, indeed, the death rate increases unexpectedly. In Jersey City the dealers in coffins and under- takers’ supplies are doing a rushing trade. The ice men, too, are in it. The orders are coming in so rapidly that the undertakers can bardly keep up withthem. It is the first time in many years that the dead can not be buried at the convenience ofthe stricken relatives. Undertaker Boylan of Jersey City said yes- terday: **I have fifteen bodies onice. Most of the deaths were caused by pneumonia and diph- theria.’’ Ex-Coroner Burke of Jersey City says his Dusiness had more than doubled. Coroner Muner of Jersey City, who is an undertaker said: 1 have five funerals on hand. i buried three members of one family in Ho- boken during the week. Undertaker Coyle of Jersey City says he had buried tweive during py | and yesterday, and had now several orders. ndertaker Speer had in use all his hearses and coaches on Sunday and yesterday from early in the morning untildark. Itis the same with all Jersey City and Hoboken undertakers, and the grave diggers were kept busy until long after dark. Ft. Smith Falls in Line. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcr. Ft. SMITH, Ark., Jan. 7.—La Grippe has come, and is paying its respects to about twenty-five citizens. The physicians say there can be no doubt about its being the genuine Russian influenza. Some of the cases here are very aggravated. The disease is also attacking the horses and dogs all over the city and spreading rapidly. No Danger Apprehended. Py Telerraph to the Poat-DisreatTcn. NOKOMIS, III., Jan. 7.—La grippe has made its appearance here. There are many cases now andthe number is rapidly increasing. The epidemic isin rather a mild form and our physicans apprehend no danger. A Stricken City. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 7.—La Grippe is very prevalent in Lincoln. It is estimated that nearly one-third of the inhabitants are affect- ed, some of them being very ill. Employes about offices and manufacturing establish- ments are especially trouvled. Railroad Men Prostrated. OLINTON, Io., Jan. 7.—La Grippe still in- creases the number of sick people.

There were five United States soldiers in the First District Police Court this morning. Yes- terday was pay day at Jefferson Bar- racks and a number ot the boys took a day off and came to St. Louls to blow in some oftheir money. They got full and were charged with disturbing the peace. John Cummings, Richard Sweetman and David Mathews were arrested by Officers Wilson and Curtin at Sixth and Elm streets. Mathews was getting much the worst ofthe fight, but the evidence showed that he was the ag- gressor aud Judge Cady fined him $10. Cum- mings was let off with $5 and Sweetman was discharged. Allen A, Farley and Harry Balley had their scrimmage on a street car on Sydney street. They made such a racket that the driver tried to put them off, and they threw him over the dashboard. Both pleaded guilty to the charge preferred and were fined Slo each. At noon none of them had paid. THE INFLUENZA, Its Progress in St. Louis—No Alarm Felt by the Officers of the Health Department. The influenza has reached St. Louls, but as yet has made very little progress and has prosirated but few. A great many cases have been reported which, upon more careful investigation, are found to be very ordinary, common-place colds, sometimes accompanied by fever. The actual cases so far discovered are inthe main iso- lated cases, hastened somewhat by the pre- vious bad physical condition of the patient. who, from a siight case of malaria or a severe cold, naturally goes to influenza. None of the cases have given any serious trouble and the City Health Department does not seem in the least disturbed over them. No official report on influenza has | been made at the Health Department head- quarters and probably no special reports will be made concerning that particula: trouble. Physicians with extensive family practice re- port, unofficially, cases here and there wf the trouble, but many are still doubtful as to whether any cases at all exist in the city as present. THE BUSINESS WORLD. English Inventors on the Lookout for American Securities. The weekly report from Henry Clews & Co, shows a favorable situation in the stock and money market. The report says that the current movement of British Inveatment in American industrial enterprises is deserving of special attention in its bearing on the financial affairs in this country. It is the beginning of a new method of employing the surplus earnings of Europe on the American continent. It is directed large- I by a new order of investment and nance companies, who are responsi- ble to the law and to public opinion, and who therefore have to conduot their business with some regard to prudence and to the interest of subscribers. These institutions appear to have originated to some extent in the growing distrust io land as an investment. t is perceived dy the managers ot these institutions that well-established American industries at- ford a more stable promise of a good return On capital than can be found at home, and henee the efforts made during the pass year to purchase many of our important manufacturing properties. The common ées- timate of $75,000,000 as the amount invested in this way in 1888 Its probably toe high; but there can be no doubt that the to. tal is a very considerable one, sufficientiy 80 to warrant its being regarded as a significant future factor in our foreivn exchanges and in the development of our industries. The highest rate of money for the year 1889 was made at the Exchange, the rate being 36 percent perannum. It was at one time re- ported as having reached 40, but as this was not confirmed, 35 should probably be taken as the highest rate obtained. a ee = — ͤ——é—— 1 .

In retiring, however, he takes occasion to thrust a stiletto into the other rich men who are competing for the office and to place himself in the front rank of tariff re- formers. If Mr. BoOKWALTER were a poor man now one would suspect him of de- signs on another office. — Oe I the figures given by Mr. B. C. KEELER before the House Gas Committee are correct, there wasa clear profit of not less than $1,000,000 in the Branham gas contract, and St. Louisans are paying 50 ‘cents per 1,000 cubic feet more than they should pay for gas. Mr. KEELER says his figures cam be verified, and if so they furnish a sound basis for intelligent legis- lation on the gas problem. | we REPORTS from Washington indicate that cratic place. The best way to settle it is tor Congress to select a neutral location. St. Louis is midway between the North + and South, the East and West. It has a Democratic Mayor, three Republican }Congressmen and other officials fairly | divided between the two parties. It some- times goes Democratic and sometimes | Republican. St. Louis is the place for the Fair. _—_ * POLITICAL PROCLIVITIES, The Montgomery Standard in the fol- lowing rémarks about the Posr-Disraron falls into the very common error of dis- tinguishing independent papers from party organs by calling the former „free lances:“ The St. Louis Posr- DisrATORH is a free lance kind of a paper with Republican proclivities, that gives its readers some kind of a sensation nearly every day. Published in the evening it gives much of the news of the day twelve hours before its morning contemporaries. Its Sunday morning edition is full of news. Doubtless the Standard meant only to describe the Posr-Dis raren as free to attack and expose the blunders and the bosses of both parties, and to show up with unsparing impartiality the failures and corruptions of either side. That is the kind of paper the Post- DisPpaTcH aims to be and is. But the term “free lance” is not descriptive of a paper of that kind. As for the political proclivities of the Posr-Disr arch. they are derived from the precepts and examples of THOMAS JEFFERSON and ANDREW JACKSON, and are maniiested by a continual warfare upon the proclivities of the bosses and boodlers of both parties towards plu- tocracy and jobbery in politics, fraud and corruption in elections and misfeasance in office. A paper that lives on its reputation for unswerving loyalty to party is afraid to say any- thing that will enable anybody to ques- tion that loyalty, and it cannot afford to attack the men and methods that are dragging the Democratic party down to the same level with the Republican organ- ization. The Post-DispaTcH is not afraid to render Democracy this service, and the Democratic paper that miscredits such work to “Republican proclivities” is act- ing upon a low estimate of the honesty, patriotism and intelligence of the Demo- cratic masses, — . PROTECTION FOR GAS CONSUMERS. In an editorial on the gas situation in St. Louis the New York Times says: If in any city competition inthe gas bust ness has been suppressed, and if those who have suppressed it have loaded the business with stock and bonds representing three times as much capital as is required and bas been invested, and if they are compelling the people to pay interest and dividends on all these securities, the prediction may safely be made that the people will find relief in some way, and if no other method shall seem feasible they will take the business into their own hands, with ail the risks that may attend such action. The power to do this as a last resort, is not the only shield with which St. Louis confronts the concern that now controls both her gas supply and her electric light supply. If the city cannot regulate the price of gas within reasonable limits, so as to protect conaumers from over-charges based upon over-capitalization, the State Legislature has that power and can not be divested of it by the act of any former Legislature. The Municipal Assembly and the State Legislature together can, if so disposed, afford ample protection, and the knowledge of this fact and of the ability of the city, to procure a competing plant, whenever extortion may render such a costly and risky remedy necessary, will not be without effect upon the con- duct of the Laclede Company. It hasa good thing, but is probably aware of the fact that the only way to keep it is by rendering good service for a reasonable remuneration. — .. — — NEGRO MIGRATION. Three bills introduced by Southern Sen- ators, all looking to a solution of the Southern race problem by aiding and en- couraging negro emigration, are just now attracting the attention of the press. Senator GIBSON’S bill, which propeses the acquisition of territory in some warm climate to which the negroes can be aided to emigrate as voluntary colonists; Sena- tor MORGAN’sS, which proposes their col- onization in the Congo country, and Sen- ator BUTLER’S, which looks to their more general distribution in our new States and Territories, by means of liberal ap- propriations to aid their migration, are allsummarily pronounced impracticable by the Northern papers. Eager as the present Congress way be to wipe out the surplus, it is not at all likely to vote enough money to induce any considerable number of negroes to migrate to Africa or to any other wild country beyond the present limits of the United States. The pressofthe North and Northwest seems to be a unit in opposition to BUTLER’s proposed appropriation of $5,000,000 to start a migration of Southern negroes to those sections, and the proba- bility is that the only practical result of the introduction of these bills will be to signify the willingness of the Gulf States — n. to part with all the negroes willing to leave, and the decided opposition of the North to anything that will give it a larger share of the negro population. Ex-Senator Brucs of Mississippi, speak ing for his race, says very truly that there isalarge surplus of colored labor in the South, that low wages and great poverty are the natural consequences of this con- gestion, and that a considerable migra- balance of power and gives those inten to the Republicans. A more even dis- tribution of that population would cer- tainly increase its power as a political factor, and eliminate the race line, the dread of negro ascendency, from local politics in all the States. It would im- pose upon the rich and enlightened North. a fairer share ofthe burden and respon- sibility of solving the real race problem, the social and industrial elevation of the negro. But instead of assuming alarger share of this burden the North prefers to look on and boss the job, while the South car- ries the whole of it. Many hands make light work, but the Northern States find it much easier po find fault with and menace the South for her failures and her slowness in doing this gigantic work than to take part of it home to themselves and doit sooner and better. As neither difference of climate nor cost of migra- tion can accoynt for the failure of the negroes to emigrate from the old border slave States to the old border free States, what right have the latter to claim that they treat negroes better than their neigh- bors do? Does not every living man know that hundreds of thousands of negroes would have migrated from Kentucky and Virginia to adjoining Northern States in the last twenty-five years if any induce- ment of better treatment or better chance of living had been held out to them? —_————_ oa ——_— GERMANY’s young Emperor is evidently not taking to heart the lessons of progress in the direction of freedom and popular government contained in recent events. He is still hugging an illusion of absolute monarchy to his bosom. Naturally the German officials are in hearty sympathy with this despotism. But the officials are confident of their ability to live comforta- bly by toadyism and they do not represent the people at all. Whenthe time comes the people of Germany will determine how they shall be ruled, and the Emperor is only hastening the approach that time by putting on tyrannical airs. — . — - é Ture Senate World's Fair Committee will give the representatives of each com- peting city two hours in which to present their claims. It is to be hoped that at least one hour will be given to a plain, earnest statement of the manifest advan- tages of St. Louis. The other hour is a large allowance for presenting the advan- tages of having the Chairman of the Executive Committee among the speak- ers. _ nn... — Mekinley's Ex-Parte Inquiry. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). To suppose thata protected manufacturer whois enjoying the advantages of a trust monopoly duty will favor its reduction is rather absurd. These men have groaned over their impending ruin so frequently that it is a waste of time to listen to their decep- tive, misleading talk again. If Maj. McKin- ley desires to get instructive testimony he should send for some of the people who are interested in revision and reduction of the tariff and get their statements. Would it not be a good idea for Maj. McKinley to send to his own State, and to his own Town of Canton, and to Sherman’s Town of Mansfield forsome of the ex-Republicans who are now voting the Democratic ticket and attribute their change of front solely to the tariff ques- tion? The Tariftt Committee could get impor- tant and suggestive testimony if it would send for representative farmers in the West and laboring men of New York City, Brooklyn, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Ohio, and even Chicago, and not content itself with listening to the set-off loaded-dice witnesses who merely repeat their ancient croakings, showing that they are opposed to any reduction of their person- al bounties under all circumstances. Millionaires in the Senate. M. Halstead in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There are at least a dozen Republican jour- nals in Ohio that ooze with eulogies of Brice every day, either because they have been patronized or because itis in their marrow bones to go down beforethe imposing frown ofa fresh willionaire who comes into the arena with money to purchase honors. It bappens that a few men are more easily per- suaded with money than many, that the favorite place for moneyed men is in the Sen- ate of the United Statea. The inroad that the millionaires have made in the Senate is a scandal, a disgrace and a menace to public decency and libert?, and it must be stopped. Ohio is the place and now jis the time to stop it, and the people of Onio shall, at any rate, bave full information to go upon. It is our business to sow the good seed, and we shall scatter it far and near. We understand the number of millionaires now in the Senate is sixteen, and we do not want any more of them. The slippery and sloppy talk on this subject in Obio at this moment is something more and worse than indecent—it is infamous. The Kind of Democracy That Is Questioned: From the New York WORLD. We have never heard the Democracy of the New York WORLD called in question.—Cleve- land Leader. Haven’t you? Then your hearing cannot be good, for the Democracy of the Wor LD is fre- quently questioned. When a millionaire trust promoter and Wall street speculator finds hig political aspirations cooled by the WORLD he immediately questions its Democ- racy. Democratic ballot-box stuffers, job- bers, lobbyists, ringsters, shysters, high pro- tectionists, et id omne genus, all question the Democracy of the WORLD. But the honest people who know that sound principles and not the selfish aims of men can impart the true Democratic stamp find the WORLD a very satisfactory expositor. Senatorial Election Scandals. From the Philadelphia Record, The scandals growing out of the struggle between Brice and Thomas in Ohio emphasize once more the necessity of taking the choice of United States Senators away from the Legislatures and intrusting it to the people themselves. It has been demonstrated in nearly every one of these contests that the State Legislatures are not fit to perform this political duty. There is no doubt that the people would often make mistakes in electing United States Senators; but their choice would at least be free from most of the cor- rupt influences that prevail in the stato Legis- latures. bushel for it.

EFORE leaving the city the Washington delega- tion of the Worid’s Fair from information sup- plied by John B. Olark, who has been in Wasb- ington for several months in the interests of the World’s Fair, and its members believe that they know just where to put their strength, and where it will be useless to ‘make any attempt at gaining converts. Certain votes are invariably pledged to other cities, and there is no chance of obtaining them. OTHERS ARE FAVORABLY INCLINED tothe rivals, but are open to a change of heart, while nearly a majority of the House of Representatives’ is uupledged. Of the twenty votes of Illinois fourteen are regarded as certain for Chicago, three for St. Louis, and three may be obtained by either. Michi- gan will in all probability cast ite eleven votes solid for Chicago, Northern Ohio and Northern Indiana are counted on by the same city, the Eastern section of Ohio will go for New York, while Southern Indianaandthe river coun- ties of Ohio will, itis believed, be found on the side of St. Louis, if not on the first ballot, whenever the situation becomes critical. Minnesota and the two Dakotas are in Chicago territory and the greater part of Wisconsin, but in the neighborhood of Milwaukee there is a strong feeling that it will be detrimental to that section to have the World’s Fair held in Chicago, and from one to three votes are regarded as a possibility by the St. Louis delegation. In Nebraska two of the votes will surely go to Chicago, and one is in doubt. Kansas is counted upon by both St. Louls and Chicago. The former city in stronger in the South and Southwest, while Chicago has an advantage in the North, A great deal of work will be done among the Kansas Congressmen, as they show an inclin- ation to actasa body, and to abide by the decision of the vote of the majority. St. Louis has made important gains. GAINS IN THE NORTHWEST. A month ago it was believed that the entire State would favor Chicago, but now it looks as if St. Louis might obtain a majority ot the votes. The influence of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy has been, itis alleged by those in charge of the Chicago campaign, thrown in favor of St. uls, as that line and its branches are making great efforts to increase St. Louis business. In New En- gens. Chicago is strong, Rhode Island and assachusetts are a unit for it, whilethe ma- jority of the Connecticut delegation will vote in the same way. The three North- ern States are for New York, but it is belleved that several votes can be gained for St. Louis. The New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania votes will be solid for New York, and it is deemed use- less to waste any time in endeavoring to in- fluence them in favor of this city. The strong- est supporters of Washington are in Dele- ware, Maryland and South Carolina, Mg is very much divided. The New York influ- ence Ils strong in Richmond and the other man- ufacturing cities, along the Potomac Wash- ington is favored, while in the interior of the State there isa general feeling for St. Louis. THE DEBATABLE GROUND. Itis in the Southeast that the most un- pledged votes can be found, and there the greatest efforts of St. Louis will be concen- trated. It is the opinion that outside of Louisiana, not a vote will come to Chicago. New York ia strong in the Atlantic States, while those on the gult and in the interior are inclined to St. Louis. But there is littie partisanship manifested east of the Missis- sippi, and the chances for trading votes are very great.

A BROKEN BRIDGE Causes Great Inconvenience te the Rest- dents of Carondelet. The recent wrecking of the Broadway bridge over the River Des Peres, in Carandelet, is causing great inconvenience to the many residents south of the bridge. The super- structure of the old bridge was in excellent condition but the piers were weak, causing the entire structure to collapse under the great pressure of water in the overflow of the stream. It is said the city propose to build a longer and more substantial bridge to replace the old oné. This work, it is claimed, will require at least six months. Meantime the peeps — the river are unable * across the stream, even the school chile ren being obliged to remain at home.

During the year just ending three quarterly dividends at the rate of 4 per cent per annum were paid upon this stock, although principally owing to poor crops in 1888, they were not earned from the current traffic operations ofthe road. Until net earnings from traffic again warrant these payments, the directors deem it unwise to continue. Rather than to do so by means of realizing upon the assets of the company in its treasury, it is their opinion that these assets should be held together against any unforeseen emergency, eg | for any extraordinary im- provements or Detterments as might be nec- essary or desirable. The outlook for business is satisfactory and with no unforeseen draw- backs to unfavorably affect earniogs, good results are expected for the coming year.

She was manifestiy in such great troubie that the ladies spoke te her and soon drew from her the story of her wrongs. Their motherly hearts went out to the unfortunate girl at once and, not know- ing what else to do, took her to the Four Courts and placed her in the care of the matron, Mrs. Harris. There she told her story. The girl said her name was Minnie Beckett and related, her siender frame the while convuilsed With great sobs of agony, how she bad been led astray. She named Bert Schultz, atravellog man with headquarters in St. Louis, as the author of ber ruin and said: ‘*‘Ihadagood home. My father, Jonn F. Beckett, was formerly the proprietor of the Central House in Kansas City. Then he moved to Maywood, Mo., where he purchased a big farm right on the OUTSKIRTS OF THE VILLAGE. There is where we have lived. In February last 1 was visiting my aunt in Jefferson City. She lives at 510 Olive street, and this man Schultz was stopping atthe Monroe House. I became acquainted with bim and before he bad known me aweek he proposed that 1 go away with him. I told my aunt what he had said and she warned me to have nothing to ao with the fellow. Schultz persisted in meeting me, however, and when I went home he fol- lowed me. Several times he was at our house, but my father knew nothing of it. He saw his picture and asked me who it was. I told him it was a man I bad met in Jefferson City, and he said no more about it. Last July Schultz persuaded me to leave with him. One night he came to the house and I met him in the front yard. I had two big satchels with me, in which I had ut several of best dresses. I ha asked him needed any money, but he said that was — right—he had enough to do us for awhile at least. We took the train that night and went to Jefferson City, where we pat up at the Monroe House in separate roo ewanted to register as manand wife, but s afraid somebody would recognize me. Sehuits soon a private rooms, but I stayed at the hotel. e remained in Jetterson City several months and then went to Quincy and put up at the National House. There Schultz registered as Charles Palmer and wife. We staid three weeks at the Windsor after leaving the Na- tional. Then Schultz disappeared and left ail the board bill due. I had no money to pay it, but offered to give the proprietor ALL MY DRESSES. When he learned how Schuitz had treated m he refused to take the dresses, but sald I — have to go.

We remained at the Kethering until last night when we took a 8&. Louls, Keokuk & North western train for St, Louis. Then Schultz left me.’ Here the story was interrupted by a 2 of tears. The three ladies com/orted her they could, but she seemed beside herself and continued to moan, But my father—hw will never forgive me—he will never forgive me. „Was your father good to you?’’ was asked „Tes, he was. He was too good to me, i guess, and that was what 5 olled me. He — 2 petted me, as I w is only daugh- And how about your atep-mother—did she treat you well?“ „She was always trying to me but she does not dare abuse me. would not stand it.’’ „Then what made you leave home?’’ ‘*Schultz told me he would Marry me as soon as I could swear to my il Did Schutz treat you well „No, he did not. Sometimes he was as good ashe could be, but he dranka deal and threatened several times to kill me if lever so much aslooked at any other man. One day he asked me ifI would goto Angeles, Cal., with him. I told him I did not want to go so far away unless he m me. He flew into arage and took away the gold watch and diamond ring he bad given me. He kept them, too.’ Did * have any jewelry when you left ome 9 — a diamond ring which papa had given me, but had to pawn it in Quincy to pay my board bill. Schultz wanted me to give it to him one day and when I refused locked me in my room all day without giving me any- duin to eat.’ ad you any idea that Schultz intended to — vou!“ ‘*Well, several times he threatened to leave moe.

At Bae there was an active fight, numbers of shorts covering at that point, from which heretofore we have been having sharp reactions. The scale was turned to the bear side to-day by saies for St. Louis account, some of which were short, but said to be mostly wheat — has been held for a long time by a disgusted Clearances from New ork were — and no export sales were reported. The close was tame at a slight reaction and the tendency downward. With corn, oats, rye and hog 2282 at dead low prices, we see no reason why, the absence of even fair 8383 wheat alone should be held at high price Corn was dull and weak. although the decline was — at 3lilec for May by some round buying or- ders. The close was taine. Provisions were dull but firm. W. G. McCormick & Co. New York Market Letter. Special to Rus Samuel. New York, Jan. 6.—Wheat was dull and lower, being hammered by local bears in their endeavors to bring out long holdings, Lower foreign markets are of no veges A — eance. Kveryone knows that business ondon and Liverpool about ae aull as on this side, and that the merchants do not care to add to their stock till the demand picks up. On the first signs of a trade demand they willvome after wheaton a run and according to conservative foreign houses Amer- fica is the place they will have to come to. Feur loads were taken for export, Corn was heavy on concentrated holders of January marketing their holdings. Nine loads for export. LOGAN, Cowr & Co. Coffee Market.

The Case of Dupont, Joy, Duniap and Oth- . ers Dismissed. OBICAGO, II., Jan. 7.—Judge Blodgett yes- terday decided the case of Henry Dupont and others, composing the Dupent Powder Co. of New York, vs. James Joy of Detroit. George Dunlap, Col. Ed Taylor, the estate of W. B. Ogden and Perry H. Smith were parties to the suit. The complainants are creditors of the Northern Illinois Coal & Iron Co., which failed in 1876, and at that time the claim amounted to $175,000. In 1866 Samuel J. Til- den of New York, W. B. Ogden of Chicago and J. F. Joy of Detroit heid stock amount- ing to $500,000, which they purchased from Ool, Taylor, who was then sident of the Coal Co. The bill was filed for the pur- pose of holding the defendants liable for the company’s debts. Irregularities are charged in the transfer of stock to President Taylor. It is said he secured $500,000 worth of stock by transferring tothe company land worth only 3 As this was the only consideration or which the stock was issued, the stock was aid for, and therefore Ogden, Tilden, who purchased stock Col. Taylor, it is claimed, ought to make up the _ deficit. At the hearing the bill was dismissed as to all except Joy andthe Oxden beirs. Asto Mr. Tilden it was contended that the court had no urisaiction over the executors in New York tate. Judge Blodgett holds thatthe stock- holders purchased the stock in good faith. Col. Taylor wus not guilty of fraud and there was no evidence to show that Joy and Ogden had any knowledge of fraud. They were bona fide purchasers, The company had accepted Tavier’s land in full payment of stock and no proof was offered against him. The bill was dismissed for want of equity, SKE THE SUITS WE ARE SELLING FOR $10, $12 AND $15. They are all our own make and worth more money than we ask forthem.

By Telegrarh to the Posr-Dreraren. New YORK, Jan. 7.—Mayer & Coppeck, proprietors of the labor bureau at 16 Green- wich street, who hired 200 German working- men for the Casanova sugar plantation in Cuba, whence some of them returned with a story of starvation and ill-treatment, have concluded not to fill any more orders for white help coming from that district. Anton Gross, living at 96 Greenwich street, who was one ofthe party who ran away from Casanova’s plantation, said they were not only halt starved, but they could not get medical aid if necessary. as provided for by the contracts they signed. The water was bad and there was no floor in their damp and stuffy lodg- ings. He said none of the letters of com- laint written by himself and friends to New ork had been received here. Over three hundred letters had deen written, and Mr. Casanova’s steward bad promised to mail them. Mr. Hughes, a member of the firm of James F. Ward & Co., who shipped the men to Cuba, said that in his opinion they were **ehronic kickers.’’ The last and greatest story by Rider Haggard, profusely illustrated, was begun in the last SuUN- DAY Post-DV1IsPaTCH.

The Yacht Volunteer to Be Prepared for Racing — Ex Amateur Middlewright Champien Boxer Oahill to Be Given a Trial — Result of Yesterday’s Rae Sporting News of All Kinds, By Telegraph to the PosT- DISPATCH. Boston, Mass., Jan. 7. R. WATERS of Troy, the famous maker of paper boats for college crews, has bad a representative here measuring a fast boat from Which to build new shells for both the Harvard and Yale crews this year. The mission 7 of the boat builder was to get the lines of the eight-oared cedar shell wy, owned by President Bar - Wiry of the New England Amateur Rowing Asso- ciation and said to be the fastest elght - oared racing shell ever seen in Ameri- ca. Itis the boat which was built at a cost of §1,200 by a famous En glish boat-maker for the Harvard crew of 1887, and was purchased last year dy Mr. Barry, so that it could be rowed by the City Point eight-oared crew at Worcester. Harvard’s only reason for selling it was because it was too light fora crew with an average weight of over 160 pounds if rowed in as rough water as that generally had at New London. In a trial on the Charles river, under a well-known profes- sional coach, the Harvard University crew of 1887 found the boat to be about 10 seconds faster in each mile than any boat in the possession of the Harvard Boat Olub, and since that time no boat has been found its equal for speed. To-day the gentleman repre- senting Waters spent three hours on the dimensions of the boat, and itis quite likely that when he returns Troy a model like it will be cast for making a paper boat for both Harvard and Tale this year. Anew model for a paper shell costs about $1,000, but tne paper beat is afterward turned out for a great deal less cost, and sold for about $400. The Volunteer Will Race. The crack sloop Volunteer will be in com- mission next summer readyto defend the America Cup in case a challenge is accepted under a suspension of the rule. Gen. Paine said, when asked if the Volunteer would be afloat: ‘‘Yes, I intend to fit the Volunteer out again this summer.’’ „Shall you change her into a schooner?’’ he wae asked. No, there is nothing in that class, or at least it appears that there’will be nothing this year. About allthe racing schooners are to be sold. „Shall you race the Volunteer this year, General?“ „J have no intentlon of racing ber; in fact there is hardly any class now for ber to race in. I don't say that I should not go into a race if anything interesting turned up.’’ „„What shall you do about a sailing master?’’ „I have arranged to have Capt. Haff back with me next year.’’ Have you any idea of crossing the Atlan- tic with the Volunteer this summer?’’ ‘*‘ldon’t think there is anything over there of sufficient interest to tempt me across. No I shall not begin yachting till August, and have no idea of crossing the Atlantic. Gen. Paine says he will not build a 0 footer to compete against the Minerva, Ex-Champion Cahill’s Trial. At the recent meeting of the Board of Managers of the Amateur Athietic Union at the Astor House, says the New York Sun, Mr. Reagan, President of the Scottish-American Athletic Club, appeared before the board re- questing a trial for Pat Cahill, the ex- middle weight amateur champion, whose entry had been rejected by the Boxing and Wrestling Committee at the last championship meeting. The board decided to accede to Mr. Reagan’s request, and President McMillan appointed the same committee that had rejected Cahill’s entry as an investizating committee to examine his amateur standing. The committee met last night in the Sporting Times office, and after some discussion de- cided to try Cahill on a charge of profession- alism on Thursday evening, February 6, at 7 o’clock, the trial to take place at the Astor House. The trial will excite great interest and some sensational developments are expected. Cahill has been on trial before, but the committee returned with the Scotch verdict, Not proven. While the committee were in session the mailbrought the resignation of Mr. B. C. Williams of the New York Athletic Club, one ofthe members of the committee. While the resignation was somewhat of a surprise, it was not wholly unexpected, as the committee expected some move on the part of Mr. Williams that would absolve him of the unpleasant duty of either trying Cahill or testifying against him. Williams was relied upon as the mainstay of the prosecution two years ago when Cahill was tried, but positively refused to appear before the investigating committee, and it is probable that the rresent committee will ex- perience the same difficulty regarding Mr. Williams’ appearance. It is reported that the evidence in Mr. Williams’ possession is suff cient to convict Cabill of professionalism. As Cahill is now specifically on trial, he is deprived of his amateur standing until the re- sultofthe trial is reached, It it extremely probable that the verdict of the present com- mittee will be the same as thatof its pred- ecessor. Olympic A. A, Club. The Olympic A. A. Ulub will hold its regular monthly meeting to-morrow evening at South St. Louis Turn Hall, Tenth and Carroll streets. The annual election of officers will take place, andafull attendance is expected, as other business of importance will come up. Hugo H. Hammerstein, Albert Lemperts, Fred W. Dauth, Wm.

Club is now the possess- or of the two champion swimmers of the West, Pat Sheehan, the champion at one mile, and Ben Asman,the champlon at 100 ards. . There seems to be considerable doubt among the members of the Olympic A. A. Club as to whether F. Fastnacht or Jobn Dietz is the bet- ter catch-as-catch-can wrestier, and a match is now being arranged between them, to take —— before a foot - ball game some Sunday in ebruary. Kentucky Horse Matters. By Telerranh to the Post-DIePaTon. LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 7.—R. 8.

Kd ward Corrigan of Kansas Oity has bought of F. B. Harper of Midway, Ky., the bay borse Libretto, by Longfellow, dam Allegretto, by Bonnie Scotland „for $1,500. The breeders here are complaining greatly because many of their brood mares are slip- ping foals, due to the long continued warm weather and the fact that the grass is very sappy. Clittoa Races.

Fought toa Draw. Boston, Mass., Jan. 7.—Atthe Cribb Club last hight Chapple Meredith of England and Cal Jordan, of this city fought fifteen rounds to a draw. Sporting Notes. Mitchell has challenged Peter Jackson to fight ten or tvelve rounds before he leaves for New York for £1,000. Mitchell has issued a challenge to fight Smith, and offers to wager £1,000 that he can knock him out in twelve rounds. ‘*Tofft’’ Wall is meeting all comers, any weight, for three rounds, at George Bel- mont’s Music Hall, in London, and $100 is offered to any one who can knock him out in that time. s The famous sprinter, Chainpagne Charlie, is dead. He was the sensational son of imported Prince Charlie, and was at one time believed to be a first-class colt. He was affected in the wind. Lockjaw was the cause of death. Michael Dwyer, the junior member of the famous turf firm, is about to sail for Europe. Mr. Dwyer likes these continental trips. He will attend the races in France and Englana, and will enjoy life on the Continent for six weeks. Harry Gilmore, the light-weight champion of Canada, who has fought Jack MoAuliffe and Billy Myers, bas been matched to fight Jack Hanley of Erie, Pa., for « purse of $800. The Erie County Athletic Club have guaran- teed the purse, andthe battle will be fought on January 22. Hanley is a well-known pu gilist, and will be backed by well-known 1 men to defeat the Canadian cham- pion. Ihave learned froma reliable source, but too late for confirmation by the persons in- terested, that Edward Garrison signed on Wednesday to ride forthe Dwyers during the season of 1890. His salary will not be as large as $10,000, nearer, in fact, to $7,000; but his opportunities will be great. Garrison can 5 to the front and stay there if he rides the Dwyer horses with his old time skill. He must show good work if he would regain the confidence of those who can be of service to him. Tne Dwvyers would have preferred to sign Martin Bergen, but were unable to do so. —[ Mail and Eapress. A slashing glove contest was fought at the East End, London, England, recently, be- tween Alf Bowman, who is five feet ten inches in height and weighs 157 pounds, and Jem Haines, a colored pugilist, standing five feet eluht and a half inches in height and weighing 164 pounds. Ten rounds were fought, and in the last round Haines wentto work in a de- termined manner, but Bowman slipped bim on several occasions and landed with his fa- vorite left on the head, but when itcame to in-fighting the extra weight of the darkev was beginning to tell a tale, but although the latter more than held his own toward the finish ne could not rub off the lead gained by Bowman in the middle of the contest, and the ex-ama- teur was accordingly declared the winner, the decision being received with manifestations of the wildest joy by the wise men of the East.

THE QUFSTION AGITATING RFGULARS AND OPPOSITIONISTS ON CHANGE. Interest in the Coming Election on ’Change Approaching Fever Heat—New Factors in the Campaign Introduced by the Re- port of the Board of Directors—The Present Outlook, SZ, — 0 the floor of the Mer - * chants’ Exchange this fi “morning there was com- 2 7 pars twely little busi- 8 ness done, as nearly all members of the Ex- change were so busy electioneering for the ticket whose selection they favored at the com- ing election that they had little time to attend to their ordinary inter- ests. Not for many years bas there been so hot and exciting a contest for the Presidency of the Exchange as that which will be decided to-morrow. The report ofgne President and Board of Directors which was made yesterday added one or two elements to the situation. THE QUESTION OF THD SURPLUS. The practical indorsement of the proposi- tion to buy the Planters’ House or utilize the reserve fund for a similar purpose, revived a cause of disagreement that was supposed to have disappeared. Both those in favor of the regular and opposition tickets had been of the opinion that this question would cut no figure, as it had been finally dis- posed of, but the report of § the Board of Directors reanimated it. Philip Brockman and Marcus Bernhelmer were bard at work mustering those who were opposed tothe Planters’ House purchase, although favorable to the election of Rogers, and it was claimed by this means a number of votes had been gained. The supporters of the opposi- tion ticket declared that the regular nom- Inees were in favor of a divia- ion of the surplus and endeavored to rally those who wished to preserve it in- tact. he question of entertainment of visit- ors at a heavy expense was also largely dis- cussed, the regulars advocating a more eco- nomical policy, while those in opposition held that the Board of Directors had done no more than its duty in making the appropria- tions that they hud done. The Albers suit was much discussed, and was considered to be a move against the supporters of Mr. Rogers. THE REGULARS NTT GREATLY upon the influence of the East Eud Improve- ment Association, of which Mr. Bernheimer is President, and many of whose most infiu- ential members are hard at work .among the outside members of the Exchange in favor of that gentleman. Those in opposition are confident that they can secure the support of the brewers and liquor interest. They state tnat J. W. Kauffman, cundidate forthe Presidency On the regular ticket, has decided leanings in the direction of prohibition, and are endeavoring to unite those opposed against him. A large contin- gees of the regulars is compowed of those who eft the floor of the xchange on ac- the action of the Board of Directors in suspending a number of members for disorderly conduct, and these men claim that almost the entire grain pit will vote for their candidate on the — that he is pledged to a more liberal nterpretation of the rules than that vow prevaient, The contest ig curried on with great good humor, and yery little bitter feel- ing has been aroused, considering the close- ness of the approaching vote and the energy of the canvass. ACTIVE ELECTIONEERING. Seldom, if ever, has there been such an amount of electioneering among the mem- bers of the Exchange who do not appear upon the floor regularly as the present election hus brought out. kKach tieket contains many active and effective workers, and all are doing their best. e regulars have opened headquarters in a large room on the second floor of the Chamber ot Commerce, and a large force of skirmishers are constantly at work. The op- position is no less active, and claims enough votes on the outsive to elect ite cand : mass meeting was heid ay after- moon at 4 0 which count ot mass-meeting last n nary of the Lindell Hotel. Be . press confidence, but each admits that a close ane doattel contest will be waged on Wednes- ay next. | THE SCRATCHERS WILL BE BUSY.

Members were going about the floor electioneering for their friends, and there was a «reat deal of log-rolling, the effects of which will be seen to-morrow in an im- mense amount Of scratching. The advocates of the 1 ticket are hoping for a continu- ance of the present weather, as they consider that they are stronger on the floor than out- side, and hope that a wet, sloppy day will prevent many of Rogers’ supporters from leaving their business and coming to the Exchange to cast their votes. Those in oppo- sition declare that a bad day will make littie or no difference, asso much interest is felt that all will come to cast their votes. The polis will open at 10 o’clock and will close at 8. The vote will be very large, and the amount of scratching that is certain will delay the count. Itis not probable that the resuit will be known before 5 o’clock to-morrow aft- ernoon. A NOVEL CASE, Wealthy Philadelphians Indulge in a Costly Fox Chase, Py Telerranh*o the Post-NmspPatonr. PHILADELPHIA, Pay, Jan. 7.—About a month ago the Woman's Branch of the Society for Prevention of Oruelty to Animals, of which Mrs. Richard P. White, the wife of an emi- nent criminal lawyer, is President, received a complaint that the Radnor Hunt, an organiza- tion composed of many of the richest and most fashionable Philadelphians and a few wealthy gentleman farmers, were guilty of crueity to a fox which they had used t a hunt held on the 23d of last November. The informant stated that the fox had been held in confinement for several months before the meet, and had been part ally domesticated, so that when it was liberated it refused to run and was kicked and Deaten by the servants of the club. The society Immediately made an investigation and found thata bagged fox had been used, and they decided to prosecute the ciub on the ground thatatame animal had been chased by hounde and killed with unwarrantable cruelty. The agent of the society obtained warrants on the 2th of last December, for the arrest of John Delaney and John Matthews, two men in the empluy of the club, who had kicked and beaten it when they liberated it at the meet. The men were arrested and hada hearing yesterday morn- ing. The interest in the affair was so great that the squire’s office was not large enough to hold the crowd who came to the hearing so the proceedings were held in Odd Fellows’ Hall, wo servants were the only persons who could be found to testify against the em- ployere of the aristocratic club, but the squire fined Delaney and Matthews $20 each. The members of the club are indignant and say they will take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. Great Rock Island Route.

A Slim Meeting Last Night— Installation of Officers Next Monday. The Hendricks Association will hold a meet- ing next Monday, and among other things which will be done wili be the installation of the new executive committee, consisting of J. G. Prather, Paul Bierman, Jos. Temple, James Malin, James J. Spaulding, Andrew Haley, Dave Caruth, P. Sheehan, John Lob- rum, Vernon W. Knapp, D. O’C. Tracy, Thomas Kaye and W. F. Macklin. One of the members of the new Executive Committee said to-day: The rumor that we had volunteered the use of our quarters to the Democratic State Central Committee is a mis- take. Wedid talk the matter over, but de- cided that they were not fitto offer, and be- side weintend to look for new querters im- mediately. Of course, if the State Central Committee wants to use our rooms they are welcome to them, but I don’t think we will remain there lang. We are reorganizing on unew basis and we are working out the sollts“ element as rapidly as we can. You cap judge of this from the fact that we have reduced the list to seventy-three members. It will be more of a social Democratic organiza- tion now, and some radical changes wiii be made in the constitution. ’’ It was said that the Hendricks Association had offered the use of their quarters to the State Central Committee, but as Cha'rman Maffett is lying at home very il} it ig certain that he could have made no such arrangement. Chairman Maffitt’s resig- ages, itis reported, is ready for the com- m 8 Mr. Fred.
