The Naturalization Fraud Trials Result in Suggestions for Legislation. A Bill Prepared on the Advice of Court and Juries. Some Reforms Judge Thayer Hopes to See Indorsed by Congress—The Methods of Changing an Alien Into a Citizen Radi- cally Improved—A Record That Will Be Worth Something in Proof of Fraud—A Reading Qualification Required of One Class of Applicants for Oitizenship—Fall Text of the Proposed Bill. RIOR to the general election ot November, 1887—which resulted in the election of Ben- jamin Harrison to be President of these United States—there were over four thous- and aliens naturalized in the Court of Crimi- nal Correction andthe Criminal Court of St. Louis. Thousands of aliens who came to this country after they had arrived at middle age were naturalized under the provisions of the law which permits an allen who arrives in this country before his 18th birthday to become a citizen after he has resided here for five years and after he is 21 years of age without the penalty of a declaration of inten- tion to becomea citizen. The Republican and Democratic City Committees had ward work- ers out drumming up unnaturalized residents, whom they took in drovesto the criminal courts. There Germans, Bohemians, Hun garians, Poles, Bavarians, Swiss and Swedes ignorant ofthe English language were made citizens at the rate of twenty an hour. Hardly one applicant in one hundred realized the im- port of the caths administered, or know what statements were made to the judges to secure the certificates. The fees of the court clerks were paid by the City Central Committees of both parties under contracts made before the ward work- ers began to rush in the applicants. THE POST-DISPATCH INVESTIGATION. Confident that there had been great frauds committed in these wholesale naturalizations, the PosT-DISPATCH made an Investigation, Ample assistance was secured and large sec- tions of the city were carefully canvassed. The result of this investigation was printed in the Post-DIsPpaTca of March 8, 1888. It ap- eared conclusively that there had been great rauds committed and that thousands of men had obtained certificates of naturaligation to which they were not entitled. This information furnished by the Post- DISPATCH showed the United States Grand- jury the way to punish the evil-doers, and numerous indictments were found against those who were responsible for the crimes. The applicants for naturalization being for the most part ignorant, and parties to the frauds only through their ignorance, the really culpable persons, their witnesses, were in- dicted. In the prosecutions under these indictments it was found impossible to legally prove the fraud. There was no record of false swearing on the partof the indicted witnesses, The applicants who had been naturalized never could remember what their witnesses swore toif indeed they were sworn at all. The clerks and judges of the courts in which which the applicants were naturalized could never remember individual cases. They could not remember that certain witnesses appeared for certain applicants, though they frequently remembered that wit- nesses had appeared in court and had testified as witnesses in naturalization cases. They testified that they had an invariable rule with regard to such cases, but the defendants showed there,too, too many exceptions to the rule. So, notwithstanding the great and known frauds they one and all falled. GEORGE F. DURANT was one ofthe juryvmenicalied inthe cases, He heard acase, and then satthree days in the courtlistening to other cases. He saw that there were serious defects in the law which allowed the escape of persons known to be guilty. The great difficulty as it appeared to him was in the record of naturalization. There was nothing on record to show that the applicantor his witness had made any statement whatever to rocure a certificate of naturalization. Mr. urant talked wtth other jurymen and to- gether they resolved to prepare a memorial to Congress requesting the amendment of the naturalization laws to secure a record that, would be evidence of weight and value in a prosecution of persons charged with procuring or aiding in the pro- curing fraudulently of certificates of natural- ization. JUDGE THAYER, before whom the cases were tried, also be- caine interested in the subject of the amend- ment ofthe laws. He saw the defects quite plainly, and also the necessity for proper re- vision. As a result of the self-sacrificing interest of Mr. Durant and Judge Thayer a bill is to be introduced in Congress having for its end and object the removal of the often- noticed de- fects from the naturalization law. District Attorney George D. Reynolds has pees with the advice and assistance of Judge Thayer a bill which he will take to Washington to-night, and whicb he hopes to see passed at an early day. The bill has been carefully pre- pared, with due consideration for the preju- dices of legislators on the subject of naturali- zation and the correction of the evils ob- served. It is, in Mr. Reynolds’ opinion, a practical bill. THE PRINCIPAL CHANGES in the present law that will follow the passage of this bill are as follows: An alien will have to reside three years in this country before declaring his intention to become a citizen. As it is now, be can declare his intention up- on his arrival and vote in Alabama, Arkansag, Florida, hansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Lee and Wisconsin as soon as he has resided in either of those States the length of time re- uired to make an inbabitant of any other tate, who has removed into those States, an inhabitant or resident. Thatis, if he arrives in the country in Florida January 1. and on that day declares his intention, he will vote as soon asa native bora citizen of Georgia, who moved into Fiorida on the same day, The new law would put the alien under a dis- advantage of nearly three years as compared with the Georgian. The existing law does not positively require a witness to testify that the applicant is en- titled to naturalization. The new law will, and it also requires that the testimony of the witness and applicant must be reduced to the form of amdavits and entered of record. There ig no provision /n the present natural- ization lawastothe ability of applicants to speak English or to read or write. The new law will require of all persons naturalized un- der;,the provisions relating tolminors that they shall be able to read the English language. The present law allows an alien who has served inthe army and has been honorably discharged to be naturalized without first making a declaration of intention. This pro- vision was extended to seamen of the Mer- ohant Marine in 1870, and it is now proposed to extend it to aliens who have served in the navy -and have been honorably discharged. FINAL NATURALIZATION, While the new law provides that a deciara- tion of intention can be made in any court of record which Ri. * ‘ 0 n 5 2 * t 7 * * 1 * and a seal. jurisdiction of final naturalization in all cities andtowns where there is a District Court. also provides thata ned copy of the de- Claration shall be produced when application for final papers is made. No clerk will be. ted under the new law to contract with auy person, committee or organization to pay the fees accruing to the clerks of courts fromgthe naturalization of aliens, andthe f must be paid by the ap- Plicants tbemselves. A provision is in the new bill for proceeding 5 quo warranto to deprive a es of citi- zenship who bas been natural by fraud. Sec. 14 contains a new provision also. The bill is printed in fall below: THE BILL. An actin relation to the naturalizatioa of 6ns.

67 CARNEGIE’S NEW DEAL HIS FIGHT eee PENNSTLVANIA ASSUMES ANOTHER SHAPE. * The Pittsburg Millionaire Laying Plaus to Control the B. & O0.—President Corbin’s Reply to British Bondholders of the Reading—Judge Gresham's Decision in the Perry County (III.) Bond Case. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPpaTca. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 11.—There is some gossip afioat here in regard to Andrew Car- negie which is causing considerable guessing among the few Western railroad men who have heard it. Itis said that Mr. Carnegie proposes to cast his lot with the B. & O. Rail- road Co. in the future. Ali stories begin with the statement that Mr. Oarnegie has made or will make considerable investments in B. & O. stock. They then branch, one report being that the Spansled Scotchman’’ is desirous of succeeding Mr. Mayer as President of the company. Another is that he merely desires a position on the Board of Directors at present. : It is said that Mr. Carnegie controls the Pittsburg & Western road and his interest in others which affect iron ore, coke and coal freights, and that he will turn those into the B. & O. system. It was stated by an.officlal of the B. & O. yesterday that in ‘ashorttime the company would announce that it had its own lines from New York to San Francisco and was ready to take business. The reported purchase of short Ohio lines by the B. & O., giving that road connections to Cleveland and the lake trade generally, seems to indicate some movement directly affecting Pittsburg and the extension of the B. 0 facilities to and from that oity. The B. & 0. Raliroad Co. is undoubtedly maklug active preparations to increasé its tonnage in West- ern Pennsylvania and Ohio. Oarnerie’s ex- pressed determinationto fight the Pennsyl- Vania Railroad Co. has taken this shape in- stead ofan endeavor to build up an entire new line. It is also said that control has been obtained by the B. & 0. of the Wheeling & Lake Erie road, which has had a working agreement for some time with the B. & O. The Philadelphia & Reading. By Telerranh tothe Fosr-Disraron. NEW YORK,Jan. 11.—According to the Herald of this morning cable advices from London state that in response to inquiries from Read- ing security holders there to President Corbin asking for information about the failure to pay the interest on the income bonds he has sent the following — 2 An honest accounting will not warrant the payment of any interest on the Philadelphia & Reading income bonds—I cannot, nor will the Board of Managers, consentto any other. The unusually Warm weather for the year re- duced the income of the coal company most seriousiy as the report will show, and the losses by floods and water in the mines will aggregate very nearly $1,000,000. The renewals and repairs to properties ab- solutely reguired were heavy, and there is no fund nor was any provided for, and they have gone to—and must stand against—operating expenses. Not a dollar has been expended except where it was badly needed and will be of great benefit to all classes of incomes in the future. This policy is the only one under which this estate can prosper, and if pursued the wisdom of it as againsta return to the old methods wili very soon be demonstrated. Once in good condition and with a fairly pros- perous yea it will show results satis- factory tom all. I regret as much as any bor can that there is no interest, but must be honest with security holders and make a truthful statement. There is no question whatever about the value of the property or of its ability to make large net moneys in a good year, notwithstanding the fact that this management is called upon to pay interest upon millions of securities issued for money wasted and lost in the past. But that can be done ag I believe if the pres- ent policy is pursued, butI teli you must de- cidedly and ail bondholders may as well un- derstand it, that it cannot be done under any other. The Board of Managers are unanimous on this question. AUSTIN CORBIN, President.’’ + Perry County GU.) Railway Bonds. SPRINGFIELD, III., Jan. 11.—Judge Gresham yesterday handed down his decision in the United States Court in the case of the Citizens’ Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, O., vs. the County of Perry. The decision is in favor of Perry County. The suit involved the validity of $100,000 of bonds issued in nid of the Hester & Tamaroa Railroad, and alike sum in aid of the Belleville & Southern Rail- road. The litigation has been standing some time. The county claimed the bonds to be in- valid and refused to pay them on the ground that they were issued without authority. Col, Dudley Improving.

The prophesy made by a physician last Sat- urday night tnat there would be 20,000 cases of the Russian influenza in this city within two weeks is about fulfilled. The drug stores every where report a great demand for all kinds of drugs which will allay irrita- tions, headaches, soreness and iassitude, Every slight ailment is now called influenza and, 17 many cases of sickness which would be treated as they should at another time are undergoing the influenza method of recovery. The state of the weather doctors claim, is 80 #£==unnatural that 8 persons work themselves into the belief that thpy are sick on the theory that the system so used to experiencing cold at this season of the year revolts at the bumid- ity and becomes deranged. That the present temperature and atmospheric conditions in this city are not conducive to good health is ap- parent by the number of persons ‘‘under the weather.’’ For several days the temparature has been such that store doors are left open and the pedestrian on the sidewalk is greeted at every open doorway on passing witha heated gust of air rushing out from the stores, and in many cases laden with odors peculiar to each business. 80 defined were these odors this morning it was remarked that a person blindtolded could walk along Broadway and name the various kind of stores passed by the smell, such as shoe stores, barber-shops, cigar saloons, drug stores, and others. Sensitive persons with well defined sanitary ideas become frightened at this and fret themselves into an unhealthy state. In every large office where a number of men aré employed two or more elerks are missing from their desks and their work falls on the shoulders of the others. This is most noticeable in the Oity Hall, Court-house and in several railroad offices. Influenza like miséry loves company and will have it. How long it will prevail in this city cannot be said, but itis thought that the cold wave which has been making dally attempts to reach this olty since Jan- uary 1 will, when it reaches here, drive the Russian enterprise from the camp. La Grippe“ has fastened ite fingers ina miid form on a dozen or more employes around the Union Stock Yards. Den N. Paimer, the head of the company, has been down with it several days, but is in charge of the yards again to-day. Dick Wheeler, of the firm of Wheeler, Janos & Co., has it in an molpient form, but is able to be around. Wm. Jones, the big sheep operator, has an attack but it is not serious. J. J. Fletcher, the Assistant Superintendent of the yards, isa victim, and half of his work ing force are down with it, unable to worg. George Collins, the General Weigh-master atthe yards, bas been off twodays with the grip. Quite a number of stockmen from vari- ous parts of the State are complaining.

There is one thing thatthe average man is giving thanks for. He is so glad that all the rubbish in the shape of ribbons and plush are driven away from the diuner table, and that white satin damask and flowers that are not too sweet, fine cut-glass, good silver and handsome china are néxt in importance to the cooking. The frills and frivols are no longer given more thought than the soup and en- trees, while the taper shade is not considered of as much importance as the juiciness of the roast. The average man enjoys dinner be- cause he has plenty of tine; he has shaken off the cares of business; he enjoys talking to a pretty or pleasant woman, but he does not enjoy ribbons in his soup or tasseled menus tumbling in his terrapin. He likes everything to go smoothly, and he has a sufficient sense of the suitability of things to believe that the place for ribbon ison bonnets, and very fra- grant flowers should bein th@drawing-room or the open alr. ; A hostess who wants to make her dinners popular may have them us sintple as she likes, but there are some laws she must observe as atrictly and with as much fear as were those of the Medes and Persians. She must not have tepid oysters; neither must ice be served about them. She must not have the napery starched unt. the man with a young mustache feels that every time he puts his napkin to his lips he Is ae the destruction of the pride of his e. She must not bake what must be roasted, nor serve a fillet cooked until nobody knows whether it is gutta percha or a piece of Lin- crusta Walton. She must not have a servant who is inter- ested in anything except good service. He shouldn’t smile if the wittiest man in the world told the funniest story, nor should he appear interested if a political secret on 412 hinged the future of Ireland was heard him. She should count the sweets of the least im- portance, and not believe that a bad dinner can be bolstered up by a very much bedeco- rated cake or pudding. She should see that her coffee is as clear as her conscience and as strong fas her love. She sould notask anybody whether they willhave cream or not, for people who go out to dinner should learn to do without it. She should not atte mpt too elaborate a menu, for she wishes each dish to reach the height of perfection, and when the successful dinner is achieved she chould give the cook a large dose of encouragement—a medicine al- ways pleasant to take. The womanwho understands the art of dinner-giving isthe woman whois past mis- tress ot the art of keeping her husband at home. No Trace of Boodle. From the Philadelphia Record.

Who that other person is, is bothering the guessers here. John OC. Orrick is here and has been closeted with the Secretary for a long time this morning. New York Presents Her Claims. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 11. — The an- nouncement that New York, through her dis- tinguished representatives, would present her claims for the location of the proposed World's Fair before the Senate Special Com- mittee on the n to-day was sufficient to attract a crowd to the Capitol that speedily exhausted the accommodations of the Senate reception-room, where the hear- ing was held. There was such a pressure for admittance that the committee contemplated repairing to the Senate chamber, but found that a rule of the body forbade the use of the chamber for any other purpose than its own sessions, exoept by special action of the Senate. The first arrivais were from Chicago, the ladies’ delegation from The City of Un- salted Seas,’’ occupying seats at the side. Mr. Depew was the first speaker. He began to speak ina rey | tone of voice, but it soon cleared. He was listened to throughout with the closest attention, and frequently inter- rupted by applause from his loyal and admir- ing New York supporters. Mr. Depew began by thanking the committee for according New York a hearing at a time when its delegation could conveniently attend. He referred tothe magnificence ofthe Paris Exposition and the obligation resting on America to excel it. Concluding the speaker showed why. the opinion of the delegation, New York should be chosen as the site for the World's Fair in 1892. At the conclusion of Mr. Depew’s argnment Mr. Bourke Cochran addrossed the committee on behalf of New York, when recess was taken. The Kelley Obsequies. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 11.—Logg before the hour of noon the galleries of the House were filled with spectators anxious to do honor to the memory of a man who had for so many years been a prominent member of that body. A few moments before the House was called to orderthe members of the Senate, without formal announcement, entered the chamber and quick! took seats inthe body of the hall. A Sabie-covered bier stood in front of the Clerk’s desk and a handsome floral tribute was placed near-by. At 12:10 the officiating ciergymen, Drs. Butler and Cuthbert, entered the hall. read ing the beginning of the burial service. They were followed by the committees of the Senate and House having charge of the cere- monies, and then amid a solemn hush, the P magnificent casket containing the remains of William D. Kelley was placed on the dier. The family of the deceased were then escorted to the seats provided for them close to the casket. The burial service was read by Dr. Butler and prayer was offered by Dr. Cuth- bert. Mr. Butler then read the fifteenth chapter of the First Epistie to the Corinthians, and fol- lowed his reading by prayer. Bénediction was delivered by Dr. Cuthbert, andthengsiowly and sadiy the committees escorted the remains of Hon. William D. Kelley from the chamber which had known him 80 long and so well. The Senators headed by the Vice-President, had occupied a seat by theright of the Speaker, having left the chamber, on motionof Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania the House, as an additional mrak of respect tothe memory of the deceased at 12:40 adjourned. Chicago’s Turn. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 11.—When the Senate Committee re-assembied at 1:15 this afternoon the room was again crowded to its fullest capacity.

Mayor Cregier spoke earnestiy in favor of locating the fair at Chicago, reciting its ad- vantages and covéring much the same ground as that gone over in the printed matter, which was referred to the committee. THE UNITED SISTERS. A New Beneficial Society for Women in England. From the London Dally News. Mies Louisa Hubbard and other ladies have just formed a new Work and Leisure Court’’ of the ‘‘United Sisters’ Friendly Society,’’ of which Miss Morley acts as one of the trustees. This society is formed on the federative plan andits membership is confined solely to wo- men. It was founded four years ago by the Rev. J. Frome Wilkinson, rector of Kiiving- ton, Notts, and it now has branches in many parts of England. It occupies compara- tively new ground in being a benefit —— adapted to the needs of women. The ordi- nary benefit societies, which count their mem- bers by millions, do not admit women to 1 et it is easy to see from the census tables that, both in numbers and in their pecullar liability to distress and want, women need some proyision of this kind even more than men. Friendly societies for women are not exactly a novelty, but their scope bas been largely extended by this latest organiza- tion. The Society of Shepherdesses was founded thirty years ago in the Midlands. The v ing Sisters of Glamorganshire has existed for fifty-one years. But these and a few others of the kind are mostly local in their applica- tion, while The United Sisters seems to be designed to meet a more general want. There are four tabies of contributions drawn up wd a competent actuary, an giving sic allowances varying from 88 per week to 20s. and death allowances rang- ing from 46 to 412 in return for sub- scriptions ranging respectively from is 1d to 2s öd per month. This rate of subscription is for members aged from 16 to 20; for older per- sons, of course, the amounts have to be in- creased. Fora payment of 2s lid per lunar month, a person joining at 18 may become entitled to a sick allowance of 8s per week for six months and 4 after, to an annuity of 10s per.week for lite after the age of 65 and to £6 at death. A SINGULAR ASSAULT. A Violin Maker Fastened toa Floor With a Centerbit, From Galignani’s Messenger. One of the most extraordinary cases ton record has just come before the Police Court ofthe Seine. In July last a man named Du- bois took a room inthe Rue Traversiere, and one of his first acts was to put up a swing- lamp. In order to fix it he began boring a hole in the ceiling with a centerbit and was hard at work when the concierge and some of the tenants rushed into the room and called upon him to stop, asserting that he bad plereced the ceiling and impaled the tenant who occupied the room above. He went up stairs with them and found the tenant in. question, a violin maker, sitting fixed to the floor and writhing in agony. The instrument was cautiously withdrawn from his flesh, but the injury inflicted was so b his bed for serious that he was confined hree RF oy the me coe violin-maker, who only awarded 250 rancs compensation fer three months’ loss of work, while Dubois was fined 16 france for negligence. That @ man should have been sitting on the floor exactly above the spot where the hole was being bored is extraordi- nary. But that his cries should not have been h — by his tormentor is still more remark- a ble. —— — HOW MUsiIo 186 PRINTED. It Is Slow and Particular Work—What a Re, porter Saw in a Boston Establishment, If the public will be as much surprised to learn how sheet music is printed as wag the writer this .article will be read with interest, says the Boston Globe. A walk through the printing-roome of the largest music publish- ing house in Boston, under the tutelage of its courteous foreman, is full of Interesting in struction. It was into one of the many lofts“ in which the establisiment abounds that the reporter was taken. One door was filled with veritable lace work of long polés, placed horizontally, which were loaded out of sight with sheet muslo bung upon them to dry. The whole place had the air of washing day at home, and the reporter involuntarily looked around if perchance he might get a glance of cold din- ner lying about, „As fast as the sheees are printed we hang them here over night,“ said the foreman, ‘‘andthen placé them between pasteboards and press them flat, when they are ready for market. Come up into the press-rooms,’’ The press - room are very unlike their news- paper protocypes. Not a sound loud enough to interfere with conversation is heard in them, for sheet music is printed all of hana. Two kinds of presses are used, the old style ‘*‘plank’’ press and the improved ‘‘D’’ press. The latter consists of a sliding table several feet square, on which are two raised blocks just the size of a sheet of music, on which are placed the plates from which the printing is done. The plates having been inked and the paper laid on them, the printer gives a turn to an immense wheel, 5% feet in diameter, the slid- ing table slides under a large roller cov- ered with a delt, and the 2 1 L forced against the plate, thus giving the impression, and another revolution of the wheel brings the apparatus back to its orig- inal position, The ‘‘plank’’ press is like the other, except that in using it the plates are inked on a bench and laid on the blocks every time an impression is taken, while with the „D' press the plates are not removed from the blocks untii the edition is run off. „Now, here is a man printing title pages, saidthe foreman. We print only one sheet atatime, andatmancan take from 1,500 to 1.800 impressions a day. This plate, which looks like silver, is composed of zinc,lead and britannia, and ie made almost exclusively in New York. Every publishing: house manufact- ures its own ink. It can’t be bought. It is very articular stuff and must be made just so, and tis a very delicate matter to make and take care of it. This title page has been engraved by hand. The design is sunken, you see. When engraved thie plate is put on a hot block and beeswax is melted into the design. That, too, is a ticklish matter. If we wipe it off too soon we spoilit, and if we let it get too hard iterumbles and won't bold the ink. Once beeswaxed, a plate can be used for printing for years. ‘‘Engraving the music plates is a different process, however, from that used in making the title page. The engraver has to have a separate tool for every kind of note—half, whole, quarter, rests, etc. His outfit costs $400. He does not carve the plate as wood engravers do, but stamps out each note et rately with a hammer. You can imagine what nice work it is to adjust the tools just right and how hard it is to engrave a sheet of music.’’ ' The reporter watched the process of print - ing, and saw something like this: After the plate had been fastened to its block on the press the printer inks it with a hood roller, just as other printers ink their type in taking proofs. Hethen wipes the plate carefully withacloth; the Ink stickstothe beeswax, which covers the design or the notes, and the rest of the plate is comparatively clean. A second wiping with another rag leaves all but the design itself shiningly clean, the paper is laid on and the great wheel revolving soon takes the impression and returns the printed pages to the printer’s hand. The plate is then wipea again, reinked, rewiped twice, and ,in fact, undergoes the same process between each impression. „It is a curious fact, continued the fore- man, ‘‘that although this work is all done by hand the printers never touch the paper. A piece of pastboard is folded double and used as a holder, and with that the printer handles all his sheets and never lets his inky hands come in contact with them. Isn't music printed from type sometimes?“ asked the reporter. „res. When we want to run off a large edl- tion of some cheap stuff, books or something of that sort, we set the muse up in type,stere- otype the page and print from it, just as you newspaper fellowsdo. But the work isn’t as handsome, and, besides, thére is some music written that can’t be set up with type.’’ All music plates after being used are stored in fireproof vaults and indexed for possible future use. The foreman states the curious fact that in the great collection of which he has charge there are more pleces of music whose names begin with Sthan of any other letter, while the Ms are a close second. MUSTACHE SOUVENIES. Young Ladies Who Collect Hairs From Men’s Upper Lips. From the Boston Globe. The girls have anew fad. It would be ex- tremely difficult to guess whatitis, for it is destined to Cause young men with handsome mustaches no end of treuble before tt runs its course. : The novelty seemsto have originated with the young ladies of Manchester, N. H., and consists of collecting a hair from the hirsute adornment of young men’s upper lips as a token of remembrance, but it ig feared that is really a collection of mustache hairs, properly labelled and classified by oung ladies that they may show to their lady tiends, and by the display of the favors re- ceived at the hands of — gentlemen ac- quaintances create jealousy in the minds (or hearts) of their less fortunate sisters. All the available young men are solicited to pers with just one single hair from their upper ip to sweill the collection, and it is indeed a bard-hearted swain who will refuse a pretty girl this small favor. The hairs are stuck on a large card witha white wafer, on which are placed the initials of the donor. It can be readily seen that a very interesting collection can thas be made. The young lady sits with her confidential female friend, and, instead of going over a photograph album, explaining each picture, takes the card with the collection of hairs fromthe manly faces and tells how, when and where each separate one was obtainéd and all about the donor. Whether or not ſu the sweet ecstatic bliss ac- companying a stolen klas sucha particular hair did not first touch her lips, and sent through her whole being a thrill, which, even then, it was dellghtful to remember. This lat- est fad le much preferable to collecting locks of hair,and then, hair 4 — so common anidea. The girls want something later, and this is the result. It is suid, however, that there are a number of the Manchester boya who are at present clean shaven, because their fair friends have made such demands upon them that their whiskers had become sadly thinned they were obliged to grow anaher crop, but others say thatthe shaving was done to save what there was left. At any rite, the collection of mustache hairs just nowls all the rage there, and it will probably last until something else is hatcbed by a fertile brain to take its place among the fads of the nineteenth century.

Sunday, —_ A ND— — AN D— —_AND— WHAT ISTO BE DONE? | IT I8 A CASE OF BLUNDERING AND OFFICIAL RESERVE AND A POOR MAN'S BODY. The Corpse of Wm. H. Lyons Taken Out of the Hands of Acquaintances and Re- moved to the Morgue—How Can the Body Be Taken Out Again? HE body of W. H. Lyons now occupies a s lab inte City Morgue. How it got there is easily ex- plained. How to get it out ig a more difficult Problem and one which is worrying a number of the city officials in and about the Four Courts. Not only the heads, but a number of the at- taches of the offices of the Coroner, Morgue Keeper, Chief of Police, City Undertaker and the Third District Police Station are mixed up in the muddle. . Yesterday morning Lyon, who was an old gray-baired fellow, friendiesé and unfor tu- nate, died in his little attic room over the stables of D. H. Hall & Co., proprietors of the livery stable and undertaking rooms at 1306 Washington avenue. He d for some years been employed al the establishment as a horse-clipper and all-around stable man, and earned just enough to keep body and soul together. When he was taken sick with epilepsy a few days ago a physician attended him. Yesterday morning, while in one of these convulsions, he died. Dr. Miller issued death certificates for epi- lepsy and turned them over to one of the mén in the stable office. He had Lyon’s body taken from the little room to the undertaking parlor beneath and, being informed that the deceased had neither friendsto bury bim or money to pay the pense of a private in- terment, he directed that THE CITY UNDPRTAKER be notified through the Board of Health in order that the city might make the interment in Potter’s Field. And there is where the trouble commenced. Either through a miss- take in the directions given by Dr. Miller or a misconstruction pl ome man fee Mr.” Mal ns, thine District police officer w ‘ @alled and told that“ the case was one ' 1 n — — on - — doing it, either. There was the regulation $1.65 in it for him, and by 8:30 @ task last night the body of the deceased was in Morgue- keepér Praedicow’s hands. The body was taken on the récommendation of the police, and Praedicow never even looked at THE CERTIFICATES which Sheehan’s driver left. He jnst put them awayin his desk, intending to deliver them to Coroner Frank the next morning. This morning bright and early the efficient Third District police officer sent in a report of the case. t= tell into the hands of Sergt. Ready at the Four Courts and the fun commenced. The ofilcer had blandly stated that Dr. Gregory Miller had issued death certificates for epilepsy, The Sergeant did not understand what it meant. First he wont into the Coroner’s office, only to be in- formed that that office could have nothing to do with the matter, it not being a coroner’s case. Morgue-keeper Praedicow said Mr. Sheehan had put the body in and that was all he knew about it. Sheehan said the police had sent him orders, andhe had only obeyed instructions. Over the telephone the officer TOLD SERGT. READY : that Mr. Hall’s man said it was a Coroner's case. The latter threw thé responsibility back on Dr. Gregory Miller. But how to get the body out of the Morgue is what is bothoring all concerned. Nob be removed tifleate from the Ooroner’s office. Dr. says it isnot a Coronor’s case and he has no jurisdiction in the matter. There is no money init for either of the undertakers. Indeed Sheehan loses the $1.65 he expected to get and both firms refuse to further interest them selves. What is to be done? A LIGHTHOUSEMAN’S DEATH.

NEW YORE, Jan. 11.—The members of the Southern Society, that aristocratic organiza- tion, composed entirely of menof Southern birth, were in a fever heat of excitement last night over the attempt of one member to kill another. Shortly after 60’clock last evening passers by in West Twenty-fifth street, be- tween Broadway and Sixth avenue, noticed two gentlemen standing on the stoop of the Southern Soclety’s Club-house, No. 18. They gesticulated wildiy and talked in angry tones. The curious ones who stopped soon witnessed a scene which was not only extremely excit- ing, but which scared some of them badly. One ofthe men wes finally heard to say ina louder voice than before and in a threatening manner: Will you take that back, sir?’’ The other promptly replied in an equally loud tone! No, sir, I will not.“ The words had hardly escaped from his lips when the first speaker raised his arm and struck the otber a stinging blow square in the face which almost sent him rolling down the stone steps to the sidewalk. As he staggered backward he grasped the stoop rail, which saved him from falling. The other as soon as he struck the biow stepped quickly by the other to the edge of the stoop and began to descend the steps tothe street. As soon as the man who nad been struck recoved his balance he uttered an oath and reached back to his hip pocket. When he withdrew his hand it held a revolver. At sight of the pistol! the small crowd which had gathered near the stoop in front of the club-house scattered and the man who had struck the blow, and who was on the bottom step, turned and looked back at the man he had assaulted as if to learn the cause of the commotion. ( levelled his revolver and flied point blank at him. The man on thesidevalk uttered a cry and started off ata double quick pace In the direction of Broadway. The man with the revolver ran half way dowu the stoop, again levelled his pistol and fired another shot at the ee figure of his foe. This seemed to put a new life into the fugitive, who broke into a trot, with the evident inten- tion of getting out of range of the other’s revolver as julckiy as possi- ble. The man with the pistol was determined notto let him escape if he could help it and it was only on account of his bad marksmanship that the ctber was fortenate enough to make bis escape. After stepping upon the sidewalk and firing one more shot at his foe, who was then seventy-five feet away and rapidly iacreasing the distance, the would-be murderer turned about and dashed up the stoop into the club house, holding his smoking revolver in his hand, Allthis took lace in a romarlany shortspace of time, but t was not until a policemas came running up that the spectators emerged from neighboring door ways, areas and other places where they had sought safety from thatlying bullets. The man who had been Made a target of had in the meantime run into the Twenty- fifth street entrance of the Hoffman House. He almost frightenea Clerk Thomas Smith out of a vear's growth by his paliid face aud wild actions. ‘*Give mes pistol ’’ he gasped as he rushed into the place. A cowardly scoun- dre! has shot me in the back in the street. For God's sake give men pistol and I will teach him not ta shoot an Unarmed man.“ Aswmall crowd soon gathered around the supposed iunatic and tried to pacify him, but it was severa! minutes before he submitted to an examination in regard o his wound. Ist was soon found that he had not been scratched, and when he asertained this he became calm. After excusing himselt for his conduct he went away. The club members would have buf little to say about the matter, either to the police or reporters. The matter wis reported to the West Thirtieth Street Statbn by Officer Hus- sey, and Detective Brett made an investiga- tion, but could learn littlt or nothing about the affair. The club members acknowledged that there had been a ittle trouble’’ be- tween two of the members ind that when they ot outside the elab-hous¢one of them fooil- shly drew a revolver and fred some shots. It was also learned by the police that the name of the cont@tants were Wm. Hancock Clark of the Department of Pub- lic Works and Wm. Ran@iph, an insurance broker of No. 82 Nassau @reet. The quarrel between the men began h the club parior, but all. members pleaded ignorance as to the cause. No arrests were unde.

THE ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION LISTS GO TO WASHINGTON TO-NIGHT. An Inspection of the Guarantee Funds of the Different Cities Ordered—The Pecu- liarly Advantageous Position of st. Louis—Misunderstanding in Regard to the Subscriptions—A Profit Probable, NEW « delegation will leave to-night or to- morrow to advance the claims of 8t. Louis for the World’s Fair before the Senate and House of Representatives. A number of those who were first appointed have been called back to this city by the press of business anu will ‘arrive to-morrow or Monday. To take their places the fellowing gentlemen *have been telegraphed that their presence at the National Capital I, desired: O. H. Samp- son, C0. P. Ellerbe, Mayor 8. F. Neely of Leavenworth, Kan., Mar zin F. Clardy, C. A. Newcomb, R. J. Delano, D. P. Dyer, 8. M. Kennard and Jonn O' Day. THE MAJORITY OF THESE GENTLEMEN will attend, bat it has been found impossible to make arrangements for them to leave in a body, as some will take their departure this evening, others to-morrow, and still others will be detained until Tuesday or Wednesday. When the first contingent arrives it will de- liver into the hands of those now at Wash- ington all the subscription books and all the contributions tothe holiday donation. More stress, it has been telegraphed from Washing- ton, is laid upon the genuineness of the fund than upon itsamount. If judged upon the latter basis St. Louls would not have to fear comparison, but upon the former this city can challenge it. Not a name has been allowed to appear that is not either found in the city di- rectory or known to members of the Finance Committee. The public would be astonished Hit were known how many bogus or even doubtful subscriptions had been thrown out. NOTHING WAS ALLOWED TO APPEAR on the books which there was not good reason for believing would be collectable. New York has also been careful in this respect, although not so careful as St. Louis, but Chicago has entered almost anything offered. Only a few subscriptions, of preposterous amounts, were omitted, while hundreds of thousands were put down which the parties in charge knew well could never be colleeted. In spite of this, St. Louis lu total umount is far ahead of Chicago. There is said to be quite a general misapprehension in regard totne guarantee fund among the business men of St. Louis, at least the reports received from the different collectors sent out would lead to this belief. It is very often regarded as a donatlou, not only with no chance of profit but with little probability of obtaining any part of the principal in- vested. Such is by no means the case. The guarantee fund is exactly what ite name im- plies, a guarantee that sufficient funds to put the exposition on a proper footing will be forthcoming, and that the Governmeat will be insured against loss in any loan that it mav make. It ie readily to be under- stood that before the exposition opens there will be a very large amount of money paid out and none received, and consequently there must be a large amount of money in the treasury, as current expenses have to be paid asthey occur, and itis deemed desirable to incur no considerable indebtedness. . WHEN THE FAIR OPENS the receipts will be very largely in excess of the expenditures, anda great proportion, if not the whole of the amount expended will be returned. Onasingle day in Philadelphia over $100,000 was taken in atthe gates, and in spite of bad management, incident to in- experience, the loss on the whole invest~ ment, exceeding $10,000,000, was less than $1,500,000, and a great number of valuable buildings were left in the park asa return, Then the attendance at the Columbus quadri- centennial will be greater than that at Phila- deiphia, and it is a well-recognized fact that it costs little more to receive 100,000 people a day than 10,000. The different States will make far larger appropriations for their ex- hibits than they did before, and this will re- move a heavy burden from the sboulders ofthe Finance Committee. At Philadelphia the privileges were sold for a trifle, and a number of large fortunes made from them. At the coming exposition, wherever it is held, competition will be so keen thatat least $2,- 000,000 will probably be obtained from this source. It is believed by those who estimate the expenses highest and the receipts lowest that 75 per cont of the subscriptions will be returned, while others are of the opinion that Worla’s Fair stock will yield a handsome re- turn.

The Montana Deadlock. 3 Mont., Jan. 11.—Yesterday after - noon Messrs. Sanders and Powers, who were elected United States Senators by the Repub- lican House and Senate, made formal appli- cation to Gov. Toole for certificates of elec- tion. Their request was denied on the ground that theirelection was illegal, and aiso be- cause of the fact that Gov. Toole had airead given certificates of election to Messrs. Olar and Maginnis, elected by the Democrats. The legislative deadlock continues in full force, and the Republicans have decided to break it so far as the Senate is concerned, by unseat- ing Mr. McNamara, a Democrat, who is in- eligible because of his being a Federal official. This will give the Republicans fall and free control of the Senate. BEN MCMAHON fell on the sidewalk at 218 Market street and received a scalp wound on the back of his head.

The name in- fluenza,’ comes from the suggestion that the mal- ady was due to the ‘influences’ of the heavenly bodies, but more modern science has discovered that it is due tothe changes in the electrical con- ditions. Whatever may be the cause, it is astrong congestion of the blood vessels and mucous mem- brane, principally inthe head and throat, and nothing but strong stimulants will check this con- gestion and keep the biood actively circulating. For this purpose I know of nothing better than pure whiskey, and I believe Duffy’s Pure Mait to be the best and purest whiskey known to the world. Form orly this influenza was said to precede an epidemic of the plague, and the person who was abouttobe taken with the latter, had as a pre- fiminary, a fit of sneezing. Now it precedes a worse epidemic than the plague, namely, the Each Season Has its own peculiar malady; but with the blood maintained in a state of uniform vigor Sarsaparil economical of all blood medicines. “For some years, at the return of spring, I had serious trouble with my kidneys. ‘I . was unable to sleep nights, and suffered greatly with pains in the small of my back. I was also afflicted with headache, loss of appetite, and indigestion. These symptoms were much worse last spring, especially the trouble with my back. A friend me to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I began taking it, and my troubles all disappeared.” —Mrs. Genevra Belanger, 24 Bridge st, Springfield, Mass. ‘ Ayer's Sarsaparilla PREPARED BY DR. J. O.

GEN. JACKSON’S SIDE. Among sundry reflections suggested by Jackson’s Day to the editor of the New York Sun, the organ of whatever ele- ments there are in the Democratlparty favorable to discriminating taxation, plutocracy and anti-reform, is the follow- ing reference to ballot reform: : If the old hero coald come to life to-day and see Democrats engaged in an attempt to de- prive unlettered freemen of the right to vote, how his eyes would flame and with what vigor he would lift his cane and lay it about him on the numbskulls and the snobs who are betray- ing hie principles and trying to narrow the bounds of Democracy ! Would he, indeed! Then a wonderful change has taken place in the spirit of Old Hickory. . Should he come to life he would find. the millionaires who put their money into elections to purchase high offices; the corrupt political bosses who marshall the voters they have bought into blocks of flve;“ the favored manufacturers who force their employes by threats to vote for heavy taxes on themselves in order to fill their employers’ pockets; the bribe-giv- ers dnd election-manipulators arrayed solidly against ballot reform through the adoption ofthe Australian system. His keen eyes would quickly penetrate the mask of pretended patriotism which con- ceals their corrupt greed and selfish aims. It would not take his clear mental vision long to detect the miserable sophistry which cries out against the so-called dep- rivation of the unlettered free- man” of his right to vote by a system which protects him from the ballot tricks of unscrupulous politicians and the ‘‘fixed’’ tickets of the bosses and their strikers, which gives him the privi- lege of voting secretly and of gaining the information and the help he needs from officials sworn to do their duty in place of the paid political agent. He would find that the real cause of the howl is the threatened deprivation of the plutocrats and bosses by the Australian system of their opportunity and power to execute villainous schemes. He would find, also, the intelligent and patriotic people of the country arrayed in its favor. There is no doubt on which side of the question Gen. Jacksox's cane would be wielded and there is little doubt that the first head cracked would be thatof the Sun’s editor. — . Oe THE ONLY REIT DT. We regret to find on the part of some Democratic journals in the State a dis- position to resent and belittle the expos- ure by the Post-DisPpaTcHu of the weak spots of Missouri Democracy. This disposition of the party organs is almost as unfortunate as the debilitated condition of the party. It is false friend- ship to refuse to warn a friend of danger. That devotion to a party which declines to correct its errors and neglects its weak- ness is destructive. The view of party fealty which makes it a rule of conduct to countenance and support its evil as well as its good tendencies is altogether per- nicious. It is ruinous to the party. It is one of the heroic duties of friend- ship to point out to a friend the dangers that beset him, the errors he may com- mit and the way in which he can connect them and avoid committing others. This is the service which the PosT-DISPATCH is doing for the Democratic party of Mis- souri. Itis a duty which the organs of the party have not the courage to perform. If they lack also the courage to recognize the value of the service it is the worse for the organs and the party. , It is to be hoped that they will see the error of their way in time to save Democ- racy, or at least that the voters will not be misled by the false position of the organs. It is a sad case for the party if it is in the position of a sick man whose friends re- fuse to apply the remedies for his disease because they are unpleasant. —, _ = * > — _ Au Oy the seventy-nine Democrats elected to the Ohio Legislature, one is dead, an- other at the point of death, and thres who were not in the caucus are reported as refusing to say whether they will sup- port BRICE, the caucus nominee, or not. A majority on joint ballot of all the mem- bers elected is required to elect a Senator, so the Cincinnati Enquirer asserts, and the seventy-four votes pledged to BCE fall two short of the requisite number. Two of the three non-committal Demo- crats can, therefore, prevent BRIcE’s election by simply refusing to vote for him! until, after thirty days’ notice, BRIcE men shall have been elected in the places of the dead member and the one whose death is expected. But the spec- tacle of three members of the Ohio Legis- lature standing up. like antique Romans for Democratic virtue against Wall street inducements is not to be looked for in these days. - — 1— —_ Our foreign trade during the first eleven months of 1889 showed an increase of $45,808,796 in imports of merchandise and an increase of 5124, 159,927 in exports, a total addition of $169,968, 723 to the volume of our foreign trade, the exports for those eleven months aggregating 5730, 163, 387 and the imports $710, 633,273—total, $1,440, - 796,660. But before ascribing this increase to our tariff we should note the fact that Free Trade England’s increase of foreign trade in the same time amounted to $254,- 701,075, the total volume being $3,287,643,996, or nearly three times the aggregate of ours. We count our excess of exports over im- ports a gain for us, while England counts her excess of imports as representing chiefly the profit of her foreign trade. Her imports in those’ eleven months amounted to $1,894,265,152 and her exports to $1, 393,378,844. —— — ADJUTANT -GENERAL KELTON’S report shows that from July 1, 1879, to July 1, 1889, the average strength of our army was 20,145 enlisted men; the loss by de- sertion, 22,414; by discharges for disability, 7,269, and by death, 1,765. These losses, with those caused by expiration of the term of enlistment, keep the recruiting stations busy. The average aggregate of desertions from the eight white regiments of cavalry during these ten years was 883 each, while the average of the two colored regiments was only 287 each. The service seems far more agreeable to the negro than to the white man, and the time may come when our regular army will be composed mainly of Indians and negroes. , - = * 1 nn. THE Count Db'Eu and the Duke of Saxe, both of whom married daughters of Dou PEDRO, are fighting over the succes- sion to the throne of Brazil in behalf of their sons.

From the Central Missourian (Dem. ). Whether H. Martin Williams isan alarmist or a true prophet, there is no doubt but the Democracy of Missouri can ill afford to make many blunders, not that she is any the less a Democratic State now than in past years, but the people have grown weary of the dictation and blunders at the hands of self-constituted leaders (?) boases. There should be no bick- erings, no airings of personal grievances, no scrambling for place, and the man who is not good enough Democrat to sacrifice personal political interest for the good of the party is not fitfor any place within the gift of the party, andthe sooner he is ignored and cot- ten rid of the better. Why, Indeed? From the Boston Herald. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette asks why Mr. John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oll monopoly should not buy the presidency by and by. As things are going, it will be hard to answer the conundrum except to say to it: „Why, indeed?’’ The candidacy of Alger of Michigan in the Republican National Conven- tion of 1888 is not yet out of mind. There are a good many Philadelphia people who believe that the entrance of Mr. John Wanamaker in- to public life is only preliminary toa canvass for the presidency that is to be made. It Is Not Too Late. From the Osage County Enterprise. The Post-DIsPaTcH is very profuse in its advice to the Democrats of Missouri, It tells them piainly that danger stares them in the face, and that unless ‘‘bossism’’ is crushed the Democracy will be crushed. The Dis- PATCH may as well devote the space occupied by this advice to something else, for it is now too lateto avert the storm. Democracy in Missouri is doomed. MEN OF MARK. JosErR H.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Your tssue of January 7 contains an article describing the accident to the car horses at the corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets in which the following language is used: The wire which did the work belongs to the Thomson-Houston plant on Vine street. It is a thirty arc light circuit, and carries not less than 2,000 volts, or four times the tension which Thomas Edison says will destroy human life. Two hundred volts are enough to killa horse, and the thoroughness and dispatch with which 2,000 volts, or ten times as much, killed these two horses can be imagined.’’ Immediately after the accident we inveati- ated and found that although one of our ocal companies owned the wire which did the damage, it was through no fault of theirs, for the reason that the dynamo which operated this circuit was not running at the time, but the wire had been crossed with one Delonging to another company, which was charged then. We thought best not to attempt to refute the statement, thinking that the public would consider us biased in our own behaif, but in this morning’s Republic oceurs the following language from the City Supervisor of Electric Lighting, which exonerates us: Ane aceident on Fourth street to the street car horses was caused by one of these tramp wires, as is shown by the fact that the dynamo that supplied the wire ceased running three- quarters of an hour before the accident hap- pened.’’ There is no dynamo in the city of our manu- facture carrying 2,000 volts, consequently we are not as black as painted, and although we are pot infallible we prefer that the papers would be more careful in ascertaining the cause of accidents before rushing into print with language which cannot fail to injure our business.

I have reference to the alley bounded by St. Louis avenue on the north, Montgomery street on the south, Twenty- fifth street on the east and Jefferson avenue on the west. They have gotten up two peti- tions to have sald alley paved, but were op- posed by Mr. John Scullin, Mr. Fred Handorff and Mrs. Becker. The aforesaid alley has never been pavec and, to cap the climax, Mr. Scullin drives hig stock through the alley. There is to-day inthis alley over two feet of slush. The alleys north and south of said alley have been ved since last year. Why is it thus? The property holders are willing to pay for sald pavlig, whichis proven by their petitions, but theaity is not willing to accom- modate them.

The Corporations’ Counsel Have a Pian by Which They Hope to Give the Law a Black Eye Before the Circuit Attorney and Attorney-General Get Started—Does the Court Have te Revoke the Charter of a Company Before Prosecution Can Be HE St. Louis corpora- tions which belong to trusts and failed to comply with the State law requiring them to file notice with the Secretary of State that they were not engaged m any pool are begin- ning to fear that the anti-trust law, under which such requirements were made, will amount to much more than they thought it would. The announcement mage in the PosT- DISPATCH yesterday that Oirouit Attorney Clover and Attorney-General John M. Wood proposed to fully test the law, which offers them big inducements for successful pros- ecutions, has caused a genera) alarm among the firms which ignored the statutory reguirements. According to the provisions of the act the fine for an offense against the law can be made as high as 20 per cent of the capital stock and of this amount the prosecutors are entitled to one:ffth. The St. Louis corporations which camé under its provisions but entirely disre- garded them under the belief that the law could never be enforced, are now awakening to a realization of the fact that there is a pos sibility of them eaving been mistaken in their hasty conclusions and of having to pay the penalty of their error. They have been con- sulting thelr attorneys about the matter and the result is that the corporations’ counsel have RESOLVED UPON A PLAN they hope to give the law A black eye. Their plan is said to de this: Some corporation which has put itself in a position to suffer in case the law is made effective will hold a meeting at which it will be resolved to increase the cap- ital stock foranominal amount. Notice of the increase will then be sent to the Secretary of State. Secretary Leseur, having declared the charter of the corporation revoked, will of course refuse to recognize the increase of the capital stock. The corporation through its attorneys will then begin mandamus pro- ceedings in court to compel the Seoretary of State to file notice of the increase. The See- retary of State, through his attorney, will be compelled to make answer, and the reason which he will assign for his refusal to officially acknowledge the increase of the company’s stock will be that he had revoked the company 4 charter. The attorneys for the plaintiff will then file a demurrer the nature of which will be that the Seoretary of State has no power to revoke a company’s charter, that such power reste with the court alone. The lawyers say that there will be no dif- culty about establishing this last point and that, consequently, the court in the absence of a judicial revocation of the company’s charter will compel the Secretary to file the notice of the increase in stock. Such a decision would be looked on as a black eye for the law, thougn really not affecting its principle. The decision would simply prove that the charters of the companies would have to be revoked by the courts before prosecutions could be inaugurated. Several attorneys who are weil up in trust law assert that this is really the case. An attorney who is acknowledged to be very well informed on this line of the law, and who nolds the opinion that the charters of compa- nies must be revoked by the courts, was seen to-day by a PoOSsT-DISPATCH reporter and speaking upon this bran of the subject said: ‘‘It is true that the law says that the Secretary of State shall ‘revoke’ the charters ofcompanies or cor- porations which refuse to ant os with its provisions, and by some thie might be under- stood as vesting the power in this officer to declare charters null and void. No court, I am convinced, however, willever hold auch a view ofthecase. The duties of the Secre- tary of State in such matters are, you might say, purely clerical. He is merely the officer to make a declaration of the revocation. The revocation, however, must have been au- thorized by the courts in order that the com- pany’s charter shail be actually forfeited.’’ Would a decision in favor of a corpora- tion, in a mandamus proceeding compelling the Secretary of State to file notice of the increase in capital stock of a company the charter of which he has declared revoked, affect the enforcement of the law?’’ Not at all. It would simply show in what manner prosecutions must be begun. The corporations which have ignored the anti- trust law have made A BIG MISTAKE, as I think they will find out to their sorrow. Such a law is perfectly constitutional and can be enforced. Whenany three or more per- sons want to obtain articles of corporation what do they do? They go up to Jefferson City and they make certain pledges to the State in order to obtain their franchise. They agree to operate in obedience to ali laws of the State not only then in foree but which may be — 1 2 enacted. That is a most fair agreement, for at any time that a law may be passed under which they do not féel that they can operate, they can give up their eharter.

New Tonk, Jan. 11.—The Sun says: A com- bination is being made between some of the principal oll producers of Pennsylvania and the owners of foreign capital for the purpose of constructing a pipe line between the oil fields and the coast. The movement is the most important in the oil industry which has been attempted since the Standard Oil Co. secured its monopoly of line transportation. It contemplates the purchase outright of wells valued at $1,000,000, the construction of competing pipe lines and a combination of many of the 1 producers who do not their wells. The Standard Oil Co. does not own the wells which supply it with oll. It acts nominally only as a transportation agent. It delivers to the well owners warehouse re- ceipts for the oil delivered to it, and these receipts are negotiable. But as a matter of fact the Standard Oil Co., as everybody —1 Practically controls the price of oil and it is all-powerful in the trade. The Amer- loan representative of the foreign capitalists who are interested in the scheme Is a gentle- man who has placed many millions of foreign capital inthis country. He said when asked about the matter yesterday: Yes, negotiations have been for some time in progress and are now well advanced for the perchase of Pennsylvania oll wells and the ullding of new pipe lines. It is intended to do the same business as the Standard Oil Co., but in combination with the production of oil. In the present situation about all the profit goes not to the producers, but to the transporting agent, which nomi- ally is all the Standard Ot) Co. claims to be. That company is obliged under its charter to r ali the oil offered it, but by a twist - ing of its privileges it completely controls the oll market, and the actual producers of oil are at its mercy. The combination which is now under way is simply to enable producers in the oil region to market their product without any manipulation of prices and squeezing the big profits by monopolizing middle men. All the wells included in the enterprise are in Pennsylvania.’’ Do you propose entering into active com- petition with the Standard Oil Co.’’ Not unless it is necessary. We are not going into the enterprise to make war. We propose simply to bring the product of certain wells to the seaport market. If the Standard Oil people start a war of rates we naturally would try to keep our end up and protect our interests. Mr. J. D. Rockefeller, President of the Standard Oil Trust, said yesterday that he knew nothing about any combination between oil producers and foreign capitalists for the construction of new pipe lines. GEORGE O’HARA’S AWAKENING. Be Went to Sleep in a Tenement Cellar and Awoke in Flames. George O’Hara, 17 years old, is now locked up at tbe Third District Police Station. Mon- day morning he will be sent into the Second District Police Court, charged with vagrancy and trespass on private premises. The case is a pecullar one. At 11:30 o’ clock last night a blaze was dis- covered in a quantity of strawin the build- ing at 1226 North Seventh street. The flames started in one corner of the cellar and communicated to the first floor. The build- ing, which isa three-story brick structure, owned by the Mullanphy Board, was occupied asatenement house by a large numberof Russian families, the members of which rushed wildly in‘o the street in a half-dressed condition as the fire engines dashed up. The blaze was easily extinguished before much damage had been done. A Third District Policeman was the first person on the scene. Ae ne ran up to see the cause of the glare of liaht in the street, a boy ran from the front door and started up the street. The policeman pursued and caught the fellow. Atthe station he gave his name as George O’Hara and was recognized as a young vagrant who has for months hung around the street begging his food and sieeping. in all sorts of out-of-the-way places. He was charged with setting fire to the building but denied it. He said he had gone to sleep in the cellarand awoke to find the flames all about him. The tale was a gauzy one but there was no proof to the contrary and no eriminal charge could be made. This morning, U’Hara was taken before Acting-Mayor Walbridge on application for admission to the House of Refuge, O’ Hara insisted that he was only 15 years of age, but he was proven older. Mr. Walbridge refused to order the commitment. The police then decided to prosecute the prisoner for tres- pass and vagrancy. THE STOCK BROKERS, The Bank statement—Earnings of the Rail- roads— The Market. 5 By the Gaylord- Blessing Private Wire. From New York, 9 a. m.— The reports to the Clearing House of thirteen principal city banks here doing business with the interior show this morning a gain in currency for this week of $691,000. Therefore, an increase in the reserve is expected to-day. Summing up the majority of the opinions ventilated upon the market last evening, the general impres- sion prevailed thata very light business was to be expected to-day, unless some uner- oted event should change the sentiment. t is learned from a private source in Chicago and it comes from Albert Keep’s rsona friends, that the North west ailroad earnings are showing up enormously, and in excess of anything ever known before. The 8 earnings for December ineréased $210,- „H and the net increased $320,000. This is probably what Lavenburg is bulling North- west in, but he has not really bought any stock yet. 10a.m.—The earnings of the Northern Pa- cificforthe firstweek in January decreased $10,222, the St. Louis & San Francisco for the first week in January increased $3,000. From the Chronicle—The banks gained from the interior, $1,142,000; from the Sub-Treasury, $1,106,000; total increase, $2,242,000; 186 roads for 1889 gained in gross $85,754,781, equal to 8.52 per cent; 76 roads for the fourth week of December gained in gross earnings ,061, equal to 10.86 per cent; 12 roads for the first week of January gained in gross earnings $126,941, equal to 10.55 per cent. 12 m.—Bank statement—Reserves, increased, $4,259,700; loans, increased, $657,700; specie, increased, $3,255,200; legals, increased, $2.- 280,100; deposits, increased, $5,102,400; eircu- lation, increased ; $4,900. _ GOT A FARO OUTFIT.

A Large Majority of the Force Employed by Him Has Been Discharged—The New Board of Directors Will Net Allew East Side Inspection—Remarkable Raling of the Railread Commission. MONG the grain receivers on Ohange there was no little dis- in which he and his employes had conducted the duties incumbent upon them. The statement made that everyone was satlsfled with the manner in which grain had been Inspected excited both astonishment and amusement. The figures published in the Posr-Disrarck of yesterday proved theeffecttbat Burks had bad upon the trade of his own State. NOT ONLY HAD THE EAST SIDE ofthe river gained beavily at the expense of St. Louis, but also the newly elected Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange were more strongly opposed to allowing Burks to collect fees on the East Side than was the case with their predecessors. Of the outgoing board five were in favor of allowing the Burks experts to collect fees in East St. Louis under strict supervision of the Merchants’ Ex- ing the Farmington expert outside of the State. Of the present board but three are Burks men, while ten are counted against him. The probabilities of Burks being itted to — — ng his empty coffers from the grain re- ceived in another State are, therefore, con- sidered as decidedly microscopic. The Farm- ington expert has perceived this, and the re- sulthas been a general decapitation in his office. Of the immense force employed by him when the law went into effect, scarcely more than a third remain. Little information is obtainable at the office of the chief expert, as all employes have been instru to conceal as r as possible this cation of weakness. It denied that any one was discharged, but admitted that a number of resignations have been handed in. Those who still remain in the employ of of the Chief Inspectorare said to spends great portion of their ample leisure in the healthful but monotonous occupation of whistling for their salaries. A FEW DIVIDENDS have been reluctantly doled out to meet pressing necessities, but itis stated on excel- lent authority that nota man except Burks himeelf has been paid in full. The outlook for the next four months, when shipments wil The appeal made by Bur report against the judgment of the grain ship- pers and receivers, whom he describes as his . enemies, being accepted as decisive as aroused no sympathy, but the paragra U in which he proves the efficiency of his spection to his own complete satisfaction the statement that but few appeals from hi decisions were made, and that all of these had been decided adversely to the appellants, gave rise to hearty laughter. An appeal from one set of Burks’ experts to another equally unqualified has seldom been taken, the receivers saying that they did not enjoy even the poor boon of appealing from Alexander drunk to Alexander sober, as those in charge of affairs inthe office of the Chief —— Inspector were always in the same con- on. THE DESPERATE EXTREMITIES to which the Raltiroad Commissioners have been driven is proved by the rule 28 by them requiring all grain entering a city to be inspected whether it goes to a public elev ornot. This is said to be directed against Kansas City and St. Joseph elevators, wh have been private storeho for the owners’ grain nee the inspection bas been delivered inte the hands of Burks, but is believed to be in- tended to apply to the St. Louis millers, who have threatened to buy their grain in the country and deliver it at their mills duced o run as several notorious incompetents were redu to a condition of innocuous desuetude. fear is entertained that any such rule can be enforced, as itis the opinion of all lawyers who have been consulted that the pronuncia- mento of the lroad Commissioners is utterly without authority of law.

Two Hundred People at Work in the Estab- lishmeat When the Accident Ocourred— three or Four of Them Fatally Ivjured— Panic Among the Employes—Cause of the Explosion—The Engineer’s State- ment. awe 2 HICAGO, Jan. U —The five~- story building occupied by the stationery establishment of Robert Morris, Nos. 118 and 120 Monroe street, was wrecked by the explosion of a steel boiler in the basement.The mis- hap occurred about 4 o’clock in the afternoon when a Af. there were about . 200 people at work _{n the building. When the explosion came the first and second floors were ripped up and books, papers, machinery and furniture were thrown together in one confused heap. Across the street and on eitherside of the building windows were shattered and much damage done. The-elevator was near the top of the bulld - ing at the time, and in an instant the rope snapped and the car went crashing down- ward, ripping out thirty feet of flooring on the first floor and then dropping into the basement. Through jthe hole torn by the elevator car the steam rushed in blinding clouds and cleared the counting- room of all its occupants in avery few seconds. It was thought at first that the steam was smoke from a nre, and many of the clerks in their haste to escape the terrors of a conflagration, scrambled through the broken windows, cutting them- selves badly on the splinters of shattered giass. PANIC AMONG EMPLOYES. On the upper floorsthe situation fora few moments was terrible, asa large number of girls were employed at the various occupa- tions of binding and other stationery work, and when the crash came it started a panic. No one of the terrorized girls knew what was the matter and for an instant or two they were paralyzed with fear. A mo- ment later they screamed as only frightened girls can. Then about thirty of them fainted deserted by the rest, who made a rush for the stairs and fought thelr way down with the men and boys lu other departments who were trying to get out at the same time. The giris were many ofthem badly injured - the boys and men who lost al idea of decency in their mad rush for safety and the result was that the weaker women were pushed, battered and even trampled upon. When the mass of fleeing humanity reached the street door it was locked and for a few moments things looked very serious, but the lock was finally forced and all got out. A few minutes later three or four cool- headed press- men went up-stairs and carried out the giris who had fainted and in five minutes they had the building cleared of all except those who were buried under the broken timbers and debris. No one was killed outright, but many ugly Injuries which will prove fatal were received, and some unfortunates will be maimed for life. THE LIST OF INJURED. Those dangerous!y hurt, as far as the names could be obtained at an early hour this morn- ing, are as follows: „C. BALCH, cut by flying glass. CHAS. WILSON, the engineer, hurt about the head and breast. . GEORGE FOLSOM, driver of a wagon, hurt by fiying debris. GEORGE BURGESS, skull crushed; is dying. HERMAN SWANSON, hurt by flying timbers. Those seriously injured are: FRANK COPERANI, assistant engineer. A. C. HILL, a salesman, was severely cut and bruised; blown ten feet. J. H. SMITH, cut about the head; was blown to the ceiling. JOHN VANDERSLIDE, a salesman, cut about the head. ROBERT HOYLES, scalded by steam and cut by flying giass. Miss MAY HARRELL, a clerk in the stock department, severely cut about the head. JOHN CAS860ON, ecalded. Miss TIFFY CHURCH, type-writer, blown out of the window and severely shocked. THREE OR FOUR MAY DIE. 10 a. m.—It is feared that three and perhaps four of those injured by the explosion of the boiler in the Morris building last evening may die. Chas. Wilson, the engineer, is terribly scaided, and Geo. Folsom, A. C. Balch and Geo. Burgess are so badly cut and bruised that hysicians regard their recovery as doubtful. he cause of the explosion is a mystery. The engineer insists that the water in the boiler was up to the proper gauge and that only seventy pounds of steam were on. The boiler had been tested to 250 pounds pressure. elevator man, THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Regular Meeting of the Council and House of Delegates.

A Special Jury That Defined the Law of Negligence—Sons Against Mother. Another special jury rendered a verdict yesterday which was quite a surprise and is another illustration of how vaiuable a jury summoned from a certain class of citizens can be when deciding a damage suit against a corporation. Peter Fisher, a baby boy, 2 years of age, was run over by a St. Louis Rail- way Co. car on Broadway, between Geyer and Lafayette avenues, “tog 19, last. Thechild’s right leg was so badly mangled it had to be amputated. Suit was entered for $20,000 dam- ages, and the chlid was produced in court. He was a bright boy with big — eyes, very talkative, and did not seem to feel the loss of hia little leg. It wag thought the sight of the child in this condit®n and the thought that he would go through life handicapped in this way would influence the jury into granting a verdict agalnst the street railroad company. In the evidence it was shown that the mother al- lowed the child to run about at will, and when she heard the screams after the accident, paid no attention to them, thinking as she said it was some one else's child. When the case was given to the jury it was expected the child would get at least $5,000 after a very short deliberation. Thejury was out three hours. They retired with sympathies for the child, and with the determination, one of them afterwards said, of doing something for the child. The evidence was carefuliy weighed and ; instructions of the court were o „ Though every man on the jury expressed a desire to graut the child at least a small amount of damages they were compelled to umite in rendering a verdict for the defendant and throw their sympathies overboard, 80 seé6ldom is a case ofthis kind so caretully weighed by a jury the verdict was unexpected. CORRECTED THB ERROR. Judge Klein, in the only written opinion de- livered this morning, corrects the mistake of arecent jury by granting a new trialin the case of Elizabeth C. Casey against Thomas J. Burridge. Mrs. Casey was housekeeper for Mr. Burridge from 1881 to January, 1889, and when he died sued for $1,740 for services. The administrator tried to provethat Mr. Burridge and Mra. Casey had entered into a contract whereby Mrs. Casey was to work, wash, iron and sew for her keeping, but was to receive no salary. Mrs. 1 Casey on the stand claimed to be more than a housekeeper for Mr. Bur- ridge, and the jury contrary to the explicit instructions of the court, granted Mra. Casey a verdict for the fullamount of herclaim. It was for this that the new trial was granted. Testified Against Their Mother. The contested divorce case of Michael O’Connell against Johanna O’Connell, which Was partly heard by Judge Klein last week, was begun again this morning. Judge John A. Tolty represented Mr. O’Connell, and Judge M. R. Cullen defended Mrs. O’Connell. Two sons, one 15 and the other B, were put on the stand, and gave testimony against their mother, stating they had seen * drunk many times for years past, and had seen her strike their father. it was the most revolting case heard in the court - room in many months. The mother, a respectable appearing and intelligent woman, sat beside her lawyer unmoved, but several witnesses, old ladies, who were present, made use of their handkerehlete on more than one occasion. Mr. and Ars. O'Connell were mar- ried February 25, 186], and lived together until May 17, 1889. They had three children. The household was broken up, it is said, by the mother, and Mr. O’Connellsuea for divorce charging his wife with ali kinds of indignities and habitual drunkenness. Judge Kliein’s Rulings. Judge Klein made the following rulings on motions this morning: Brown vs. Turner et al.; amended petition sustained. In the matter of the Brewster estate; motion to dismiss appeal overruled. Piggott ve. Citizens’ Railway Co.; motion to make amended petition more definite and certain overruled. Leaby vs. Cass Avenue and Fair Grounds Railway Co.; motion for a new trial over- ruled. ° Vall vs. Eagle Machine Co.; same. Boyd vs. Keating; same.

The arrest was made on a Warrant sworn out yesterday afternoon by Josephine Hawkins, a colored girl living at 3119 Sheridan avenue, charging Anderson with being the father of the two little colored boys who recently put in an appearance atthe Hawkins home.

GREE prominent cor- ners at Chestnut and Tenth streets have changed ownership within the past twelve months, and these with the other corner are now out of the market. The most recent pur- chase is that of the + southeast corner, which ** has deen acquired by „eur. Bernard Kernan of 3 ithe frm of Kernan & poss Faris for $51,000. Mr. M. A Raub owned the prop- erty, and the sale of it to Mr. Kernan was con- summated by the firm of 8. J. Fisher & Co. Tne premises are fully occupied by a lot of old buildings which never fail torent well on ac- count of their central locality, but they are illy adapted to the requirements of the neigh- borhood, which 1s fast becoming a prominent business center. For that reason the alleged improvements do not figure much in the value of the property, for which the consideration is $600 a foot forthe Chestnut street frontage‘ of 85 feet, the depth on Tenth being 113 feet. In the early part of November last the north- east corner, 60x109 feet, was purchased at 8884 a foot by Messrs. Thomas S. Noonan and W. P. Hill. On this corner there are no improve- ments, the site being merely Occupied as a storage place for old building material. There is a reason, too, given for the activity at the corners of Tenth, and that is the splendid improvement which the Bell Telephone Co. is now érecting at the southeast corner of Olive, only two biocks north, and the recent valuation, $3,000 a foot, which has been placed upon property at that point. Another consideration which enters into the present valuation of realty at Chest- nut and Tenth is the assurance that both the northwest and the northeast corners are to be handsomely improved. Plaus for a new build- ing to be erected upon the northwest corner are now prepared, andthe work of wrecking the old houses isto be commenced shortiy. When this has been done much that is objec- tionable from a moral standpoint will have been removed from the locaiity, and tuen business will thrive there. There has been a good deal of talk about the Mechanics’ Ex- change securing one or the other of these corners for its new building, but whether one of these sites is selected for that enterprise or not does not cut much of a figure, for tbe demand for more and improved business places is increasing very rapidly and must be supplied. Mr. Kernan says he did not buy the property for speculation. He bought it to keep, and intends erecting a fine building upon the corner where be will have a paying and permanent investment. MISCELLANEOUS SALES. Mr. Peter Moran has purchased from the Harney heirs, through the agency of John Byrne, Jr., & Co., the two-story nine-room brick dwelling, with a 2Ux80-foot lot, at the northeast corner of Eleventh and Monroe streete for $2,411.

Gleason & Co. has sold for the senior member of that firm a lot of 20x206 feet, situated on the south side of Easton avenue 208 feet east of Pendleton, at $35 a foot to Mr. Mertin ‘Wipflar, who is going to build there. i U van tt et ) 5 AUD 4 = * BUILDING ASSOCIATION®. . The Irish-American held its thirty-fourth meeting last Weduesday, but made no loan, as its anticipated funds were loaned ahead. This association has a number of sharehold- ers in Cape Girardeau, Mo., and suburban towns. The Parnell loaned at its last meeting $9,900 to two members to buy improved property. There was no premium, as this association has adopted the plan of charging only inter- est. There are at present nearly one thou- sand shares of $300 each taken, and new sub- seribers are rapidly joining. The Washington is now three years old, and is issuing its third series of 600 shares, a large number of which are already taken. The Mound City loaned at its last meeting over $30,000, nus making its total loans ag gregate over $400,000. SOLD FOR $35,000 CASH. The firm of P. G. Gerhart & Co. closed one $35,000 transaction to-day and perfected two other sales aggregating in all $40,900. Their principal negotiation was in the in- terest of Mr. Chas. B. Gerhart, for whom the newly improved property at the south- east corner of Oltve Cabanne was purchased from Mr. R. A. Gatewood. This is a very productive piece of property, situated In a remarkably progressive district. It consists of six two-story buildings, arranged witha store atthe corner, and twelye flats of five rooms each, provided with bath, laundry, and all the modern conveniences adapted toa first-class neighborhood. The improve- ments present avery attractive appearances with fronts carried up in stock brick and or- namentations of red sandstone. The houses front 100 feet on Olive, the lot they occupy having a depth of 1624 feet on Cabanne. The property produces an income of over $4,000a year. Mr. Gerhart bought the premises for cash. There is only one vacant corner in the vi- cinity, and that is the northwest corner, owned by Mr. Thomas Wright. He has plans already prepared to commence early iu the spring to improve the site with flats and stores at an expense of about fifty thougand dollars. The eontheast corner, owned by Mr. R. N. Poulin, has recently been improved by him with fine dwellings at an expense of about $30,000. Adjoining the ground owned by Mr. Wright on the west, there is a lot of 100 feet tront, which was bought not long ago by Mr. E. H. Evans, from Mr. M. L. Gray, and that site is also to be improved in the spring with flats which it is estimated will cost $25,000. These eyi- dences of thrift and enterprise indicate not only the present, but the prospective value of property in that locality also. In addition to this transaction Gerhart & Co. sold 50x155 feet of ground located on the , north side of Bell avenue, between Newstead and Taylor at $40 a foot, from Mr. Alexander Yule to Mrs. Kate Wheeler. Another sale was that of 60x155 feet of ground situated on the south side of Bell avenue east of Whittier-at $65 a foot. This ground elonged to Joseph G. Marriott, ex- Speaker of the House of Delegates, and it was sold to Mr. C. F. Liebke. A PAYING INVESTMENT. One of the important sales of the day, a $12,000 transaction, is reported by the firm of Lingenfelder & Bokern. The houses belonged to Eugene Benoist. They are numbered 17, 19,21 and 23 South Fourteenth street, and occupy a frontage of 75 by a depth of 120 feet. They are located on the west side of Fourteenth, between Market and Olark avenue, in a locality which is becoming val- uable for business purposes. Mr. Lingen- felder says ground in the vicinity is worth $150 a foot, and the prospects fur much higher figures in the near future are promising. These four swe ebony prick houses were pur- chased by Mrs. E. Lingenfelder. PAYS A BIG PERCENTAGE. Mr. Samuel Bowman, the real estate agent, has purchased from Mrs. Mary Niggeman the property she owned at Nos. 2834 and 2836 Franklin avenue. The premises, consisting of four four-room flats, occupies 650x134 feet, 8 inches of ground, and they are renting tor $18 a month each, that is 8864 a year. The consideration was 36. 000. STILL HEARING EVIDENCE. The commissioners, Messrs. C. C. Hartman, W. A. Rutledge and L. L. Hull, appointed to condemn property forthe opening of Cook avenue between Pendleton and Walton, are gtili taking testimony, McOasiand & Guignon sold a 50x122-foot lot on the south side of Missouri avenue, near 1 street, in Kast St. Louis at $5 a foot to Theodore Loght.

Some Very Interesting Facts and Figures— The Council and House of Delegates to Seek Information on the Subject —A $20,000 Estimate — Several Perplexing Questions. R. BOGARD of the House of Delegates last night introduced a reso- lution providing for a committee of three members from the House and two from the „ Council whose duty it shall be to look into matters concerning the establishment of elec- tions in St. Louls under the Australian ballot system, and making a division of precincts, if such a division be deemed necessary. This is a move in the right direction, and will proba- bly result in a definite understanding of the workings of the whole system. : Under any circumstances voting by the Australian system will be more expensive than the present mode and itis somewhat difficult at present to figure out the exact cost. From all statistics of elections heid under the Australian system in othercities it is found that each voter requires about three minutes to vote. That mukes twenty votes an hour to go on, if the voting was steady and unipterrupted. Caleulating that the POLLING PLACES are kept oven twelve hours 240 men can vote at one polling place if there is only one booth or compartment for them to go into to prepare their ballots. These little rooms can be in- creased to half afdozen or a dozen as the necessities of the case may demand, as the law in the case provides all officers upon whom is imposed by law the duty of designat- ing polling places shall provide in each place designated by them a sufficient number of laces, booths or compartments, which shall furnisired with such-sppp!lesend s : lences as shallenabie the voter conveniently to prepare his ballot for voting. * * * The number of places or compartments shall not be less than one for every hundred electors who voted at the last general election.’’ Under the law itis not necessary, therefore, to reduce the number of voters in each pre- cinct by increasing the number of precincts, but the law can be obeyed by the Inorease in the number of booths orcompartments at each polling piace. Here ip St. Louis the number would run from two or three to a dozen, as at the last general election there were over TWELVE HUNDRED VOTERS in Precinct 152 of the Twenty-eighth Ward. As to the cost of such an election there have been a great many estimates made, some of the politicians, who do not look upon the system with favor, putting the cost ofa gen- eral election in this city at $150,000. A more conservative estimate, figures in the office of Recorder of Voters, as follows: Six 1 and two clerks at $ per day each for 152 voting precincts, $6,080. Rental of polling places at $5 per day for each place, estimating that one day will be necessary for preparation and one day for voting, or atotal of $10 for each of the 152 polling places, $1,520. Ward registration at a low estimate, $840. Printing and advertising for ward registra- tion, $:50. Revision of poll books, $1,008 Printing poll books at 9 5 based upon is cents a name, , 690, Extra clerical force, $1,950. Statignery, $300. Preparing polling places, material, eto., , 400.

It is cheaper to propere under the Austrulian system with only 152 precincts, as an increase in precincts would entail a proportionate in- crease of judges and clerks et $30 a polling place, and the additional cost of $10 a polling place for rent, while the cost of preparing polling places, print- ing, revision and other expenses would re- main about the same. As to the possibility of handling the voters in one day with the large W in each voting precinet t is estimated that on a steady run twenty men an hour can vote. This will allow of the voting of 240 men in ten hours, but the law provides for one booth to each 100 voters so that the rate of voting could be greatly reduced and the number of booths inereased. n has been found that the bulk of the voting is done during thefirst three bours inthe morning and the lasttwo at night, making five hours in all, thus giving fully three minutes a man aves, if no voting is done during the middle of the day. | — THE AGE The time of life great men have THEY accomplished their greatest work.

HOWARD'S RES * ‘Thirteen Years a Constant Sufferer— Cured by Drs. Evans & Smith. Mrs. Howard, who resides at 1110 Locust st.. was a constant sufferer from neuralgia for thirteen years, affecting every part of her body. Sometimes it would affect the head for several days, then it would leave the head and go to the spine, chest and limbs. Her spine was at all times sore and tender to the touch. At certain times all her pains and sufferings were greatly aggravated, and she would be unable to endure the torture with- out the use of morphine. When she first visited Drs. Evans & Smith at the Lindell Hotel she said that she could not hope to be cured, but wished them to try what they could do tor her. They treated her and all pain left her. She continued to have them treat her twice a week for two weeksand they cured her permanently well. Scores of similar cases are being cured daily by Drs. Evans and Smith, and can be referred to by ealling at their parlors at the Lindell Hotel, where they can be consulted from 9 a. m. until 7 b. m. of each day. If you are skeptical as to their marvellous magnetic power over disease, attend [ope’s Theater any morning from 10 to 11 o’clock, where they treat the sick in the presence of the audience.

KANSAS OITY, Mo., Jan. 11.—It is altogether probable that the two women alleged to be Mrs. John and Kate Bender, who are now con- fined in the Labette County jail awaiting trial forthe murder of Dr. York, will be liberated in afew days. An attorney of this city represehted the women at the preliminary trial. Since that time he has been quietly at work collecting proof which will establish the fact thatthe women are Mrs. Almira Griffith and Mrs. Sarah E. Davis. He now claims to have affidavits showing that from 1870 to 1874 these two women were in Michigan. The crimes of which the Benders are charged were all committed during these years. n being acquainted of this fact the Prosecuting At- torney of Labette County wrote the attorney for the defendants telling him that if he could prove these facts by affidavits he would dis- charge the prisoners. for Oswego next week with his affidavits. = THE NEW some society belles tell all about FAD it, ana what their favorite flower a4 perfume is in to-morrow’s FLOWER Ss SUNDAY PosT-DIsPaTOH.

By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. NEw YORK, Jan. 11.—Special telegrams to **Bradstreet’s’’ note the temporary appearance of colder weather, followed at important Western cities, particularly Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis, by a moderately improved distribution of clothing, boots and shoes, end grocery staples. The gain is not large, being met by lower temperature and hampered by the un- favorable condition of wagon roads at the interior Southand West. Leather and lumber are quiet, and cattle and hogs, with freer receipts, tend to weak- ness at Western centers. Mercantile collections generally are slow and the immediate outlook js not for material improvement, At the West, Ihdiana corn is moving with less freedom, as is cotton. Hog products have been more active, with firm or steady prices, and in some instances slight advances. The New York Stock market was depressed by tight money last week and this week by the trouble about Reading incomes. Charges have been made that the executive of the Executive Co. recently asserted that a dividend had been earned and would be declared on the income bonds. The management deciares the dividend has not been earned and will not be paid. An election of Reading officials takes place Monday and the excitement attending the situation is intensified by an attempt to change the official head of the Reading Co. he condi ion of the coal trade aided by the Reading trouble has affected the general share market and depression has resulted.

Jan. 11, lla.m.—The stock market opened dull and uninteresting for the general Ust, while Reading and sugar refineries monopolized the attention of the traders. In the former, however, there was little life and it moved within the nerrow- est linfits with the remainder of the list, which after a Weak opening with first prices from & to er cent delow those of last evening asacored other slight declines in the early trading, though a better tone was apparent in the latter portion oy the hour. Sugar opened off Sec at 5e, and after 8 to 628%c rapidly declined to 50e, from which pets it allied fractionally. The new common stock of the Wheeling & Lake Erie was traded in upon the board for the first time this morning, and opened at Ole; it rose to SIe on a comparatively large busi- ness. The preferred stock also exhibited some strength. but was dull with the rest of the list. At 11 o*clock the market was quiet to dull, but firm at small fractions better than the opening prices in most Cases. Noon—Money has been easy at from 8 to 4 pee cent. Bar silver, 9601s. The stock market was less animated after 1i o’clock and displayed a drooping tendency. with no material fluctuation until the issue of the bank statement, after which there was a re- newal of the buying and prices recovered immedi- ately. New England, Reading. Chicago Gas and Sugar were the active stocks, and the latter was the least prominent of the lot. The market closed active and strong, n at the best prices.

The stock of wheat at Antwerp. is about 800,000 bu, and the amount ou passage to Antwerpis about .600 „000 bu; both are very moderate for the season. Home-grown wheat can oniy be ground with a heavy admixture of foreign. Late advices from India report rather favorably in regard to the coming wheat crop. Advices from South Russia mention severe cold weather without snow-fall. Last year the same con- ditions existed, and thé result was deficient crops. The lowest price for No, 2 mixed corn in the New York market previous to the present cereal year was in the month of June, 1879, when it sold at 43e. The present price is about 381, or 4lec lower. In Chi- cago the lowest price during the past twenty-eight vears was on June 20, 1873, when it sold at 27c, but at the cl: se of the month it sold at 32%c. The very low price was owing to a combination of causes, among which was the very flattering prospects for the com- ing crop, a large stock of corn in Chicago—4,042,000 bu—a considerable quautity of which was getting hot and being posted.

FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO, How Commencements Were Conducted at Harvard in Early Days. By Telerravh to the Post-DIsPATCH. Boston, Mass., van. 11.—The regular monthly meeting of the Massachusettes His- torical Society yesterday was of more than ordinary interest from the fact that the Treas- urer, Mr. Chas. Smith, communicated from the manuscript journal of the Rev. Dr. Johu Pierce, some notes on the commencements at Harvard for forty-six years, beginning with 1803. These notes comprise many curiou sand interesting details, suggestive of the chances In college life and customs since the opening ofthe century. The commencement of 1808 took place afew days after the death of Mr. Hollis, Professor of Divinity, and the exer- cises began by singing Watts’ hymn, ‘‘Why Do Ye Mourn?’’ A few years later Dr. Pierce records that the theatrical music with which the exercises were interspersed was highly disgusting to the more solid part of the audience. Afterwa?d he was greatly scandalized that wine should be drunk at the commencement dinnerand that there should be smoking after dinner. He sete down the last time when a full bottom wig Was seen at commencement and first time when the graduates carried their commence- ment parts in a roll in the left hand. He re- members that when he first set the tone for the 78th psalm the psaim was set off line by line. It was not until 1803 that it was printed onaslip and given to the alumni. He kept an exact account of the number of minutes occupied by the opening and closing prayers, and in many instances he records the length of time which the graduates required for the delivery of their parts and how they acquitted themselves. In 1807 one of the commencement parts occupied three-quarters of an hour. COMING TO ST. LOUIS.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 11.—Mrs. Mary Foy, who was 90 years old last Christmas, and who claims kinsbip with the Calhoun family of Virginia, died in the Springfie!d Poor-house this evening and will filla pauper’sgrave. In nm story told just before her death she alleged that after a tempestuous voyage she disem- barkéa at Nova Scotia atthe age of 16. A year afterward she married Patrick Foy, asaiior on the ship in which she _ sailed from Ireland for Virginia. After many years ot comforts her husband became insane and died in the Massachusetts Hospital at North- hampton. After that her slender means van- ished and she became poverty stricken, living in squalor in a basement of a house at Springfield. She was removed tothe Poor- house about a year ago. She had twelve children, allof whom are dead. If her story is true she was a cousin of John C. Calhoun, the Senator from South Carolina, and Vice- President of the United States.

BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 11.—The trustees of the Tome Street Presbyterian Church have barricaded the edifice against Rev. J. Wynne Jones, the pastor. They have placed new locks on the doors and built a fence in front ofthe entrance. Jones has been pastor ten years. When he took charge it was known as the Welsh Independent Congregational Church, but he turned it over tothe Baltimore Presbytery. The older members of the con- gregation have all along been opposed to the change, but at first they were outvoted by the pastor’s friends. Of late there has been a lively war between the factions. The trustees, who have also turned against the pastor, barred him out yesterday, and to-day, when several of his friends tried to force the locks, they were warned off by the police. The case will be taken to the courts. Hear the Soul of a Krakauer Piano sing. To hear eit is to buy it.

T., Jan. 11.—Much ereilte - ment has been occasioned in Fultonville, just across the river from Fonda, the county seat of Montgomery Oounty, by the discovery of an apparent arrangement between Deputy Sheriff 8. M. Eaton and Justice W. B. Cross, as a result of which tramps released after a term of imprisonment in the County Jail are ro- arrested by the Deputy Sheriff, taken be- fore the Justice and sent back to jail, Other Deputy sheriffs and Justices are said to be engaged in the same business, and it is proba- bie that thousands of doliars are stolen from the tax-payers yearly in this manner.

OTS Bien THE LEAGUE SEES. NEW YORK BASE BALL GOSSIP GIVING ONE SIDE OF THE ISSUE Chances of the Valxyrie Coming to This Side of the Atlantic—Roger Connor De- clares Himself on the Base Ball Situa- tion — An Argument Against Bare- Kuuckle Fights—Sporting Matters. By Telegraph to the Post-DiIsPatTcu. . EW YORE, Jan. 1l.—The Times i to-day has this base ball gossip: The Broth- erhood of Professional Base Ball Players re- ceived a set-back yes- terday when Tucker, the champion batsman of the American Asso- clation, deserted the organization and signed to play with the old Boston League team. Tucker some time ago agreed to play first base for the new Brooklyn club, and he was adver- tised as astar. The in- field was to be composed of Tucker at first, Bassett at second, Ward at shortstop and Denny at Third. Since that list was made out Tucker, Bassett and Denny have joined the League, and if Ward is enjoined the new Brooklyn club will have to secure a new in- fieid. This isa severe blow to the new organ- izetion, as it will be a difficult matter to get men competent to take the place of the deserters. Since the Broth- erhood movement started the Boston Club has been foremost in its eftorts to get a strong team for the season of 1890. Tucker is to play in Boston for three years at a salary of $4,000 a yearand heisto receive a bonus of $1,500, making In all $13,500 for three years’ work. Besides Tucker and Clarkson the Boston Club will get Catchers Ganzel and Bennett, Short Stops Smith and Long and First Baseman Stearns of the Kansas City Club and several other prominent members of the old club. Manager Byrne of the Brooklyns said yes- terday that he would notoffer any objection to the new Association club in Brooklyn. Un- derthe National agreement the Association has a perfect right to place a club at Ridge- wood Park. Stovey, a prominent outfielder of the Ath- letics, will probably join the Philadelphia League team. Atthe recent meeting in Ro- chester all the Association clubs waived claim to Stovey’s services. This was done to. pre- vent Stovey from becoming a Brotherhood player. . President Day of the New Yorks said yester- day that if Ward is enjoined he will get all his old players back again. He thinks that the courts will surely compel Ward to rejoin his old nine. In a conversation with Lawyer Choote yes- terday he said that Ward will surely be com- pelled to play with the Giants next year. He thinks that the case will be decided at the hearing next week. Roger Cennor With the Brotherhood. By Telegrabh to the POstT-DISPATCH. WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 11.—Roger Con- nor says he never told John B. Day when the latter called to see him that he wished the Ward injunction would hold good. He hopes it will not, and says he is perfectly satisfied with the Brotherbood. He thinks the mag- nates may enjoin Ward because he signed a supplementary contract, but that his case would not affect the rest of the players. He denounces Tiernan’s action in signing with the National League. He says tbe Brother- hood will come out on top, and he is with them first, last and all the time. Base Ball Briefs. Right-flelder Hamilton of the Kansas City Club has affixed his signature to a Phila- delphia League Club contract. It is a 8-year contract. Latham has been sold to Louisville, it is claimed, but as he has already joined the Chicago Brotherhood club it is not likely he will consent to go to the Falls City or pay any een to Mr. Von der Ahe’s sale of his re- ease. Bare Knuckles vs. Gloves. The present drift of public opinion on this matter is plainly in the direction of glove contests to a finish, in place of the brutal exhibition of naked fist or skin-glove fights, says the Philadelphia Times. As matters now stand Sullivan is par excelience the champion pugiligt of this country and Slavin may fairly be accepted as champion of England and Aus- tralia. To see these two men meet and settle the question of supremacy would indeed be A sight to thrill the heart of the true sportsman to its very core. If we are forever to be hidebound by the rules of the English prize-ring, an institu- tion now evidently rotten to the core, witha cowardly rufian like Smith as its erstwhile recogniged champion and figurehead, the Australian and the American must battle with the naked fists at the risk of losing their lib- erty for a lengthy perion. But it may be sug- gested that there are out-of-the-way places in sparsely populated Stateson this great con- tinent where a fight for the championship may be brought off without fear of interfer- ence from the authorities. Just so, but one remembers with a smile that Sullivan and Kilrain, before their fight at Richburg, were assured that a battle-ground had been provided where the fight could be brought off without interference and that no subsequent prosecution would follow. The first part of the undertaking was faith- fully carried out; that mucn it was absolutely necessary to do before the speculators could corral their profits, but how about the sec- ond? To-day, six months after the fight, Kilrain stands condemned to serve the sen- tence oftwo monthsin jail and pay a fine, while Sullivan is in even worse plight, as the court passed a sentence of twelve months’ imprisonmentin his case. How many thou- sand dollars the case has already cost the pugilists and how much more it will cost if the appeals are fought out, nobody knows but those who are most interested in the matter. The Valkyrie May Come. By Telegranh to the PO8ST-DISPATCR. NEw YORK, Jan. 11.—Itis by no means cer- tain that Lord Dunraven may not be tempted to issue another challenge through a club less prejudiced than the Royal Yacht Squadron. The achievments of the Valkyrie last season, although not brilliant, were very respectable. If not quite up to the standard of the America’s cup, she might still be equal to sailing an excellent race for Gen. Paine’s cup, afar handsomer and more valuable tro- phy. She mav beat our fastest 70-footer, but she could never hope to vanquish the Volun- teer. Our yachtmen expressed themselves 80 decisively last year in favor of defending the America’s cup with our fastest yacht that their opinions are not likely to undergo any radical change. So prospective challengers must make up their mind to meet the Volun- teer, which will not be put into comission be- fore July. Clifton Races. CLirrox, N.

Certainly what would otherwise be a bright ex- istence, is often shadowed by some ailment that overhangs it like a pall, obscuring perpetually the radiance that else would light the path. Such an ailment, anda very common one, is nervous- ness, or in other words weakness of the nervous system. acondition only irremediable where in- éfficient or improper means are taken to rélieve it. The concurrent experience of nervous peo- ple who have persistently used Hostetter’s Stom- ach Bitters is, that it conquers entirely supersen- sitiveness of the nerves as wellas diseases—so called—which are jnvitea and sustained by their chronic weakness. As the nerves gain stamina from the great tonic the trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, billousness and kidney troubles. Druggist and Dealers. THE CHARLES A.
