NEw YorE, Jan. 14.—Noticeable among the large batch of prisoners who sat in the box at the Yorkville Police Court, yesterday, was a pale faced but prepossessing young woman, who wept bitterly when she was placed at the bar. She was Bertha Anderson, the actress, who Sunday evening sought to end her life by jumping into the East River from the plier at the foot of Sixty-second street. Her attempt was frustrated by Police- man Smith, who noticed the young woman acting strangely on Avenue A and followed her. He managed to get quite close to her unobserved and justas she was about to take the fatal plunge grasped her around the waist. She struggzied to free herself and begged to be allowed to jump into the water. Smith almost had to carry her bodily to the station -house, where she —— all night in her cell. The girl told ustice Ford that she was an actress and the last en- gagement she had was with the London Gaiety Co. Shesaid she had been betrayed a a prominent lawyer and that after the birth of her child, about three months ago, her betrayer had thrown her off and would do nothing for her. She said she had been forced to live a life of shame for a month past to get enough to eat for her baby and herself and that she bad become 80 disgusted witb such a life thatshe determined to commit suicide. The Justice listened to her pleadings and dis- charged her. The girl told a reporter that she would make one more attemptto reach the heart of her betrayer and if he refused her she would either secure the aid of the law to bring him to terms or take her life. A WICKED WOMAN. The Alleged Confession of Cora Litchfield Found at Frederick, Ma. By Telegranh to the Posr-DmrATron. FREDERICK, Md., Jan. 14.—Workmen tear - ing down an old building in this city found a paper which parports to be the confession of Cora Litchfield, who spent some time in this city in 1870. The confession ts as follows: „„ may die soon, Ido not know when, but I will write there ere it be too late. I hope it will be found when I am dead, ſor I have wrought enough misery. Sixteen years ago I was you beautiful and loved Dallas Galbreth Karle. “eons — house the nurse bad Cc left her in a bard Asylum, and ee wand ng can flee. na cnn tee „11. Nan ‘ | 4 PS. 14 oa 4 wicked.

Two Unfortunate Families Ejected From Unsafe Dwellings on Collins Street An eviction which brought to light some of the dark side of city life occurred yesterday afternoon. On the east side of Collins street, just north of Biddle street, two dwellings stand on an eminence probably fifteen feet above the street. Nearly all the mortar jas fallen from between the bricks, and there is not a window left in either house. There is just enough dry cracked paint in the bricks to show that at some remote period the building had once felt the painter’s brush. The two dwellings compose really one building, being adouble house, and if the structure were a thousand years old it could scarcely possess more evidences of old age and decay. Yet the two dwellings, which afford scarcely any protection from the elements, have been occupied constantly by ten- ante. For two years or more no rental has been charged the people living there. Recently the autboritiés bave made frequent complaints to Messrs. Meagher & Nagle. the agents for the property that the buildings were unsafe and to avo d accident in which lives might be lost the nts con- cluded to put out the occupants ef the houses. They brought suit against the people in the dweliings for $2 a month or $% in all, and on the 9th inst. obtained udgment in Justice Manning’s Oourt. esterday was the fifth and last day which Constable Miles had to execute the judgment, and he then ejected the ants. hen the judgment was obtained the weather was very mild, but it changed and was decidedly cold when Constable Manning moved the little traps of the people into the street yesterday. All the tenants had vacated the premises ex- cept two, Mrs. Mary King, alias Kane, and Mrs. Maggie O'Toole, alias Haney. They and their chiluren were ejected. Last night they slept in the street with their miserable furni- ture, which is not worth $ all told. They presenta pitiable sight, although attending circumstances do not recommend the case as one worthy the assistance of the charitable. AN IMPORTANT AR REST. Three Highwaymen Captured in the Third Folice District... On Sunday night Tim Healey, an old man, aged 55, living at 2121 Eim street, was held up and robbed by three men at the corner of Twentieth street and Lucas place. They took $20in cash, a silver watch and his pocket knife. Last evening Special Officer King, who has been doing detective work in the Third Dis- trict, located three men whom he thought were the highwaymen, a in company with Patroleman Houliban and Warwick captured them. They were taken to the Third District Station and Healey was called to identify a The moment he set eyes on them he said: Those arethe three men who ronbed me Sunday night. I will swear to their identity.’’ Their names are Hugn O’Brien, James Hol- leran and John King. In King’s pocket was foundHealey’s knife, but the watch and money bad been disposed of. 4 Healey was out Sunday night spending a lit- tle money and he metthese three men in a saloon. He treated them several times and ex- . his — * * ary paying for the oo: oy then a away . usi- ness portion of the olty and when they arrived at Twentieth street one of them seized him by the throat, pulling his head back; another held his hands whilethe third went through his pockets, taking everything, even to his pocket knife. AN INTRUDER’S FATE. Lula Ray Kills a Midnight Caller at Her House. Dawson, Ga., Jan. 14.—Miss Lulu Ray, a pretty woman residing in the outskirts of the city, shot and instantly killed H. A. Suggs of this county between 11 and 12 o’clock Thurs- day night. She surrendered to Sheriff Thornton early Friday morning, confessed the crime and was placed in jail. At II o’clock yesterday morning Judge Stalham, with a urv of eighteen men, held an inquest on the ody, resulting ma verdictof involuntary manslaughter. In hersworn statement Miss Ray said that Suggs came to her door about 11 o’clock at night drunk and demanded admittance, which she refused. He con- tinued to knock on the door and curse her for“ nearly half an bour. At last she picked up a pistol from: the bureau and shot at the door to frighten him away. When she looked out through the door she saw that he was dead. She ran out at the back door and through the fleld to a neigh- bor’s house, about a quarter of a mile away, and told what she had done. She spent the remainder of the t there, and in the morning delivered herself up. Miss Ray waived preliminary trial and gave bond for her appearance to-day. Mr. Suggs was a middle aged man, with la wife and six chil- dren, some of them grown and married. TWO STREET RAILROADS. The Central & Western and the Lindell Railway Bills in the Council, The Council has two very complicated mat- ters before it for settlement, which will prob- ably give the members some pretty close cal- culating to do. One is the Lindell extension and change of motive power bill, and the other is tife Central & Western Cable and Electric road Dill. There has been a good aeal of oppositition to botb measures, coming mostly from residents and property holders along the cohtemplated routes of both lines, but after a good deal of shuffling and fixing matters have been so ar- ranged that only one or two difficult points remain to get over. On the Central & Western line the property holders east of Taylor ave- nue are objecting: They now have a double track steam road running in the alley back of their houses and are oppos- ing the admission ofan electric road of the same company along the front of their houses on Morgan street. On the Lindell bill a strong opposition is being organized to the electric overhead system on Finney avenue, from Grand avenue to Vandeventer avenue. The Lindell bill has deen reported with amendments by the Committee on Railroads of the Coudcil, but the Central & Western bill is still in their hands, A New Bridge on Broadway. The Board of Public Improvements held a regular meeting this morning at 10 o'clock. A number of unimportant matters ot a routine nature were disposed of. Two mules at the Work-house were condemned as useless. The only important measure disposed of was the adoption of an ordinance providing for the entire reconstruction of the bridge on Broad way, across the River des Peres, which was 8 ere a week or ten days ago. © sum of $21, was set apart for the work. — ordinance will go to the Assembly to- n Obituary.

A Genuine Blizzard. Sr. Paul, Minn., Jan. 14.—A genuine Dbliz- zard, the first of the season, raged over the Northwest, the whole of Sunday and part of yesterday, knocking out telegraph wires, de- laying all trains and retarding the operations of loggersin the pineries. Dispatches from principal points In the Dakotas, Montana and as far west as Spokane Falls, Wash. are to the effect that on the average the snow fell about ten inches on the level and drifted badly owing to the strong winds, approaching a _ hurricane, which prevailed. Among the railroads a vast difference in the effects of the storm is found. The Manitoba, Northern Pacific and the North- ern Wisconsin division of the Omaha all re- port littie drifting. The Sioux City or South- ern division of the Omaha is suffering from unusual drifts. The river division of the Mil- waukee was not affected, but the lowa & Minnesota and Hastings & Dakota divisions are badly drifted. Tbe Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Kansas City, too, are somewhat covered up, the former rather worse than the latter. The worse drifting, howeyer, appears to be on those lines running through Northern Iowa ang Southwest Minnesota. The Damage at Wickliffe.

This morning James Lonergan, who lives at 715 High street, and who works at the Cres- cent Paint Works at the corner cf Main and Morgan 8 ts, got down to the store early as was his custom. It was cold, so James be- stirred himself to dulld a fire in the stove. After nicely chopping up a lot of kindling which de placed in the stove, and then piling coal on top he had serious misgivings as to the probabill- ties of ite burning.

The Wires Kept Hot Between St. * Louis Republicans and - Wash - ington Postmaster Makers. Private Dispatches Anneunce That He Has Been Appointed, But His Name Is Not Included in the List That Went to the Senate This Afterncon—Maj. Haricw Has Not Yet Heard From the Capitai— The Fight Had Narrowed Down to George Bain and Maj. Harlew—A Sketch of the Probable Winner. At noon to-day it was rumored that J. B. Harlow had been appointed Postmaster for St. Louis. This morning telegrams from Wasb- ington to this effect had been received, and the belief was general that the moOmination hed been made. In fact it was bulletined in sevcral places, and Capt. Harlow received the congratulations of his friends on his promo- tion, It was reported from Washington late Maj. John B. Harlow. last night that the fight had narrowed down to Bainand Harlow, with the probabilities in favor of the latter. When the ru- mors became current they therefore received general credence, although they were notcon- firmed. It was not until 3 o’clock, when the nominations made by the President were received by telegraph, that a doubt of the authenticity of the news began to be entertained. The list of appointees in- cluded several postmasters, but Capt. Har- low’s name did not appear. FAVORED HARLOW. Mr. Joseph B. McCullagh, editor of the lobe - Democrat, when spoken to in reference to Capt. Harlow’s appointment, said: 1 fs exactly what 1 ad expected. Last ‘mnighPubout 12 o’clock I received a telegram from one of our Congressmen running as fol- lows: »The question is between Bain and Harlow. Which do you preter?’ **T answered to the effeot that ifthe contest had narrowed down to those twol preferred Some time ago I was support Mr. Bain, and Isaid that I would do 80 in case he would agree to appoint Capt. Harlow Assistant Post- master. ut on looking over the ground I could see that this would not do. Harlow now holds a life position at a salary of $2,800, and it would be too much to expect him to give it up for the un- certain tenure of office and very slizht increase of salary that the position of Assistant Post- master would with it. I know Mr. Bain, very friend- ly to him, know that he would make an excellent Postmaster. Capt. Harlow, I have neverseen. But I have long regarded him asthg brains of the Post- office. He has made tae reputation of every Postmaster from Filley to Hyde, inciu- sive, and is, I hear, one of the most efficient officers tm the employ of the Government. No objection to his appoint- ment can be made on the ground of fitness, or on any other ground, and it is a nomination p “that will not have to pe defended. He has practically managed tze post-office so long that itis only fair and just that he should be placed at its head.’’ SKETCH OF THw LUCKY MAN. John Brayton Harlow was born at Sacketts Harbor, New York, April 9, 1844. He was but 17 years old when the oil war began, but en- listed in the three monshs’ service immedi- ately. From the day of his enlistment up to and including to-@ay he has een continuously in the service of Uncle Sam. Nearly five years he spent in the army, and after the war he entered the postal service. The railway mail service was then in its infancy and he was one of the first clerks appointed init. From that service he was transferred to duty in the St. Louis office, where he has been for seventeen years con- tinuously. As to é HIS RECORD IN THE ARMY, the statement contained in the register of the Loyal Legion, of which he is a member, iselo- quent. „ Entered the service as private, April 18, 1861.

He isa member of Ransom Post, G. A. R., and was the post's third Commander. Gen. W. T.

Mr. Harlow was one ot that company of clerks, and an enthusiastic maker ot schemes. He was promoted to be head clerk in 1868, and in 1870 was made assistant to the chief clerk of the Chicago & Buffalo Railway Post office, The next year he was made cnief clerk with headquarters in St. Louis and in May 1878 the office of Superintendent of Mails having been created in the St. Louis Post-officg, Mr. Har- low was appointed to the piace. The efficiency of this department of the local office has never been questioned. It has for years been in advance of eve office in the country. Mr. Harlow’s practical knowledge has enabled him to make many improvements unknown elsewhere. He le athorough believer in the selection and promotion of clerks according to efficiency, and has a system of examina- tions to ascertain efficiency. . HE IS A CIVIL SERVICE REFORMER. His examinations are practical. There is rapid reading of poortype or pen written ad- dresses and distribution of mail matter. He has a numberof wooden bloca maps of States, each block being a county. Clerks are re- quired to work with these blocks until they are so familiar with them that they can put the State together without a moment’s hesi- tation. Inthis way they not only become ac- quainted with the location of the connties but of the towns in the counties and the lines of railway through the State. The study which the examinations compel on the clerks gives them such thorough knowledge of the loca- tion of all offices that the distrbution of mail matter is rapid and correct. To facilitate distribution Mr. Harlow in- vented a rack consisting of three sets of igeon-holes, set at such angles that every Sale is within easy reach of the distributor’s hand. A MORE IMPORTANT INVENTION is also to facilitate distribution.. It consists of a table, the top of which turns on a pivot, and a series of frames on which mall bags are hung, and which make a circle around the table. The mall matter is thrown upon the table, from which it is taken by the dis- tributor and thrown into the sacks on the frames. When the time for the closing of the mall for any railway arrives the frameon which the sacks have been hung is rolled away from the table, the sacks are stripped from the frame, locked and sent to the depot. This device saves a great amount ot time formerly wasted, lessens the work, increases the speed of handling mail matter and requires less space than the same work formerly had in the office. Mr. Harlow bas also invented a reversible distributing rack for railway post-offices. All of his inventions are used in the postal service without compensation to him. He did not patent any of them, but permitted them to be copied without protest. He sets little value upon them, though the evidence of their value is apparent to all around him. EAST 8T. LOUIS. A Dispate Over a Horse—The Assessment Cases. Benjamin Fifer swore out a warrant yester- day before Justice Davis charging Fred Bieler with stealing a horsefrom him. The accused was arrested by Constable Ryan and at the preliminary hearing was placed under a bond of $250 to await the action of the Grand-jury. He failed to furnish ball and was locked up. At the trial he admitted that he had, as charged, sold the horse claimed to have been stolen by himgebut declared that he had bought the animal from Fifer and had paid $5 of the purchase mney. He claimed that the purchase was made in good faith, and said that with the money he received from the sale of the horse he would pay Fifer the bal- ance due him. The trial of the East St. Louis assessment cases has been postponed until the 27th inst., when they will be heard probably by Judge O. N. P. Thompson of Jacksonville, III. The attorneys in the cases 2 peared before Judge Hay yesterday for the purpose of selecting a judge to * them, but they falled to agree, and Judge Hay, taking the matter in his own hands, wrote to Judge Thompson to be present and bold court on the day set. a George Shields, a Texas stockman wh6d, after selling a load of cattle at the National Yards, started to clean out the town, was col- lared by a policeman, who took him to the station, after a desperate struggle. A charge of disturbing the peace was preferred against him. This morning Emma Taylor was sentenced to ten days and Mattie Hunter to thirty days in the Work-house and were taken to Belle ville this afternoon. They were arrested in the Happy Hollow raid Sunday night. The police raided the sand-houses in East St. Louis last night and captured twenty tramps, two of them colored men. They were locked up over night and to-day were escorted — — city limite and ordered to leave the yi- cinity. R. C. Busse, administrater of H. C. Busse, has commenced assumpsit proceedings in the City Court against Timothy Gruaz for $2,000. James H. Wyatt has commenced an action of thesame kind against John P. Metzen for James Gallagher and R. O’Brien were fined $5 each this morning for disturbing the peace, . Belleville. Dr. Ferdinund Harling, one of the best- known professional men jn Belleville, was found dead last night at dis office, His body “ your correspondent found the body, gave testimony at the inquest. From their statements it appeared that Dr. Harling was qubject to at- tacks of heart disease, which generally kept him in a weak eondition. Iie had ex- perienced one of these attackson Sunday, and had been found very sick by Mr. Kalman, who visited him, on that day. Mr. Kalman called to see him again yesterday aiternoon, but tound his rooms locked. In the evening, as stated above, he returned with Messrs. Graeber and Heineman and found Dr. Harting dead. Dre. Vetter and Brun examired the body at the inquest and stated that death had resulted from heart disease. The jury returned a verdict to that eflect. The. deceased was 58 years ot age. He arrived in Bellevillefrom Texas fifteen yearsago. He practiced dentistry since his arrival in this city and had built up a big business. The statement made in a press dispatch from Denver, Colo., that an insane woman found wandering about in that city was a daugbter of E. W. Westof Belleville appears de untrue. The woman was to de Mrs. Theodore Krafft vy ade ony Mo., and though that lady is Mr. West's daughter she cannot be in Denver, as a letter received by Dr. West of Belleville, ber brother, from her husband, stated that she was sick at her home on the llth inst., when the letter was dated. Charies Jones (colored) was released from the Work-house Sunday and was captured by the police yesterday afternoon in the act of stealing several books and other things from the residence of Dr. West. He was arraigned before Justice Medart on the charge of larceny and was held for the Grand-jury under bonds of $100. He could not furnish bull and was locked up.

By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPaTon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.—Mayor Noonan has gone to Reading, Pa., for a two-days’ stay, during which he will visit the friends of his younger days. Before leaving the capital found him occupied with Representative Bruner and others talking World’s Fair for St. Louls, but he dropped everything else, and said: 1 guess I know what you are after. Ihave been reading the POST- DISPATCH to keep posted on matters at home. Iobserve the people art still talking about the veto of the as bill, and it has been alleged hat I gave my approval before I disapproved it. As to the charge thatI gave the subject a double consideration, let us cut a long story short. It is a fairy story from be- ginning to end. It was strictly saying that I would weigh as important a matter as that and be guided by friendship in the matter. I was not approached on the subject, and Mr. O’Meara would be one of the last men, I believe, to approach me, even if deeply interested. He is modest, and has a nice appreciation of how far friend- ship permits men to go. He has never gone over the bounds, and if be did sol would set down on him as quickly as on anybody eise. Let me say, I carry a Jourgensen watch, a most excellent time- piece, which was presented to me by the members of the bar. It is faithful to the fraction of a fifth of asecond, more faithful than mostmen. At II: G o’ clock on tire night the bill was before me I vetoed itand never touched apento it before that time. ANNUAL MEETING, The Mechanics Exchange Makes Nomina tions for Officers To- Day. The annual meeting of the Mechanics’ Ex- change was held to-day. President Rutter presided and nearly two hundred members were present. The reports of off. cers were read. President Rutter in his annual address spoke of the progress made by the Exchange in the past year, and redicted even better things for the uture. He informed the members of how the movement for a new building was getting on and expressed the hope that more energy would be shown in the enterprise. Treasurer Stamps’ account of the Exchange's finance, was satisfactory. The principal bus- iness was the nomination ot two candidates for the office of President during the ensuing year, Messrs. Josepn L. Guedry and Patrick McGrath, whose names had been proposed, announced that they did not desire to be put in nomination. This left onity two candidates, Messrs. Wm. A. Rutter and Edward Kelley. It was decided to nominate both of them in the meeting instead of giving one the regular nomination and having the other put forward by an opposition caucus.

TWO SESSIONS HELD TO-DAY AT THE ° LACLEDE HOTEL Has the Tariff Reform Club Plan Provoked a Row?—An Early Convention Advo- cated—Dick Love, a Candidate for Kail- road Commissioner, Thinks the Demo- cratic Nominees Will Have to Hustle. The State Democratic Committee met this morning at the Laciéde Hotel. Chairman Maffitt presided and there was a full represen- tation, except from the Highth. District. Mr. J. OC. Carroll ofthe First District, Mr. J. B. Thomas ofthe Seventh and J. D. Tolson of the Sixth were represented by proxy. Mayor Noonan was not present and had no repre- sentative in attendance. The whole morning session of the committee was taken up in a discussion of tue tariff reform club plan. There is something mysterious about this discussion and it is probable that a good deal which has been said on the subject inthe committee would not do to give out. At the last meeting of the committee tne plan of organizing tariff reform clubs under the auspices of the com- mittee was proposed by Capt. Joseph Brown. In Capt. Brown’s statement of his plan the proposed clubs were designated simply as tariff reform clubs. Nowhere did the word Democratic appear. This omission led, it was stated, to an address ofa somewhat stormy character from Waller Young of St. Joseph, who held a proxy. He said that an effort was being made to disguise the old Democratic party undera new name, „»The Tariff Reform party, and he for one did notapprove of any attempt to tie the party down to any one idea. It was all well enough to have clups whose principal purpose should be the promotion of the idea of tariff reform, but they ought to be called Democratic tariff re- form clubs, thus showing that they werea part of the old party. The impression should not be given out thatthe old party was being completely bound by the new idea. He went on in this strain, and somehow the impression got abroad that he had at- tempted to discourage the idea of organizing tariff reform clubs. It has been stated that at the meeting to-day an attempt would be made to reconsider the committee’s former actionin adopting Oapt. Joe Brown’s plan, and much outside interest was, on this oc- count, manifested in the session. ‘*'IS THERE A ROW?“ The committee met at 11 o’clock, and re- mained in session for a little over an hour. When the members had come down and were asked what had been accomplished, they said that nothing had been done. When asked how the hour had been spent, the answer was given that it had been devoted to a discussion of the tariff reform club plan. Ohairman Maffitt was seen, and when asked whether there was anytrntb in the report that there was a sentiment in the committee against tariff reform clubs, sald that there was not. He was told of the impression abroad and the question put to him: Was there not a fight on the suggestion of Mr. Waller Young that the clubs to be organ- ized be called Democratic Tariff Reform Clube?’’ ‘*The truth of the matter 16, he replied, „the suggestion was adopted. Mr. Maffitt afterwards stated that the com- mittee hau been engaged in discussing that very point this morning but had not come to a vote, and consequently nothing could be given out. Other cOmmitteemen were sought for an explanation of how it was if Mr. Young’s sug- geation ot calling the clubs Democratic Tarif — 2 instead ot ogy od no orm Clubs, had been generally & 5 that the discussion on the subject should be continued and A vote necessary, but no satisfactory information could be obtained. The committee met this afternoon again and resumed the business which had occupied their attention in the morning and on which they had not been able to arrive at any agreement. THE STATE CONVENTION. There were several candidates for nomina- tion tor State offices at the Laclede this morn- ing, and a great deal of talk about the next convention andthe prospects of candidates who would come before it took piace be an the e a eb call stances required.

Downing, the present incum- bent; Tate of Lewis County; Oyrus Carr of Montgomery County; Tom Dunn of Lincoln County, and C. D. Oldham of Cole County. DICK LOVE’S IDBAS. Dick Love,one of the candidutes for Railroad Commissioner, was at the Laclede this morning. The Kansas City politicians are backin Love strongly aud urge and $6 each, worth double. lot of Boys’ Overcoats, worth each; ages 13 to 17 years. Ladies’ some seal Plush Jackets 59 each. his nomination onthe grounds that Kansas City as the second railroad center in the State, Is entitled to recognition on the Board of HKallroad Commissioners, and especially since that city bas never had a member of the board. Mr. Love is a man who looks to be full of energy and the impression that he gives was fully corroborated by the senti- ments to which he gave expres- sion this morning in conversation with a Post-DISPATCH reporter. When asked whether he had been reading the a:ticles in the PosT- DISPATCH in regard to the present complexion of State politics and the pros- pects for the future, he said that be had, and wich a great deal of interest. He was of the opinion that the State was safely Democratic under ordinary circumstance, He said: ‘‘WhileIthink that the Demo- crats can elect their candidates, I believe, however, that the majority which the party has should not be presumed on, and cannot be without danger. The party should show as much care in the selection of candidates as it it nad no majority and the candidates who are successful at the next conven- tion can not afford to fold their bands as has been done in the past. If I am nominated I propose to get into as many counties as I can between the time of the eonvention and the day of election. Iam in favor of an early convention so as to give the disappointed aspirants 4 chance to get thoroughly over their „pets“ and enable all who ere interested in the party’s success to accomplish some ef- fective work. I belleve in campaigning. My own experience has shown me what can be accomplished by a man with right kind of spirit. When 1 was aspiring forthe nomination for Register of Lands two years ago I went over into Audrain County. I did not knowaman in the county. Those whom I went to see told me Icouid not under any circumstances ex- pect to do better than third. I asked them if they had any objection to allowing me to pay $% to have my name put on the ticket. They said of course not. Ihad my name put on the ticket, and started out to canvass, everywhere I could ia I had, and when the returns came In the 4 out of the 1,000 votes cast. Itell yu that „the people like to see the men they are voting for, and if the Republican candidates get around and show themselves and ours do not, there is likely to be surprises. Continuing the conversation Mr. Love said that if he was nominated and elected he pro- posed to earn his salary. He thought that unless the board was more active it was likely to be abolished. There was plenty to do if the commissioners were so disposed. EIGHT TO HANG. One of the Indian Murderers at Ft. ee Escapes the Gallows. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPparTcn. Fr.

Schindel, rector of St. Boniface Church, arrived in Carondelet. The twenty-ninth an- niversary was celebrated with solemn high mass this morning atthe church.

A Damage Suit and Story of a ‘*Hoodlum Car’’—The St. Louis Railroad Muilcted for $3,000—An $80,000 Damage Suit Dismissedi—A Suit for Damages Com- promised—Thomas Parker’s Will—Notes. weeks trying damage suits against railroads f 2 and to-day three courts HE courts have been busy during the past two were engaged in this way. GY The case of James B. Shevlin against the Forest Park, Laclede Avenue & Fourth Street Rallway Co. is the most amusing. The Laclede avenue car line has what is called a ‘‘hoodium oar.’’ Every morning between (and 5 o’cilock this car, a bobtail, drawn by one mule, might be seen rolling down as far as Compton avenue, the driver jumping off every biock or two and calling some one. The drivers and conductors are being awakened and it spry they may oatch the ‘‘hoodium’’ on the re- turn trip. It often happens that the ‘*hoodium’’ gets in the way of the owl car and the driver jumps bis car on to the other track. One morning Mr. Shewlin, who keeps a stable on Laclede avenue, was driving west leading a horse behind his buggy. ‘He saw two cars coming towards him on both tracks. He stopped and waited, hardly believing his eyes. The cars came near and stopped. He was in the car track, and the driver of the ‘*‘hood- lum“ asked him to get out of the way. He refused, saying he had a right to drive weet on the north track and was going todoso. The trio became very loud in their talk and the horse Mr. Shevlin was leading was frightened. It pulled and tugged and finally dragged the strap through Mr. Shev- lin’s hand. A buckle on the end tore the flesh, laying the bones and sinews bare. Mr. Sheviin blames it all on the driver for not keeping on the right track. AN $80,000 DAMAGE SUIT DISMISSED. The $80,000 damage suit of Migs Eliza Fry ef the Indian Territory against William Preston Hill, executor of the last will of Britton A. Hill, was dismissed this morning by tiff. Miss Fry claimed to be owner of United States surveys 19, 20, 21 and 22 in Jefferson County, Kan., known as * **Half-Breed Indian lands“ oontainin acres. She claims thejjate Britton A. 11 aw her legal adviser and took charge of her property, and being unable to read or write he induced her to sign papers which she afterwards learned was a gaitciaim deed, for which she received only asmali sum. The papers, she states, allowed her only a one-fourth ifterest in the lands, the other three-fourths being taken by Mr. Hill, William, Nevison and one Skinka. She alleged fraud and asked for $80,000 daui- ages. She compromised and the case was dismissed. OR $3,000. MULCTED Mrs. Mary Widenkeller won her damage suit against the St. Louis Railroad Co. yester- day and secured a verdict from a special jury, asked for by the defendant, for $3,000. Mrs. Widenkelier goton a summer car on South D October 19, 1888, and when she reached her destination the conductor was standing with the driver, bidden from view by the front curtain. She got off at Wild Hun- ter’s after vainly attempting to attract the conductor’s attention and fell. She broke her arm in 5 tall and was badly injured other - wise.

The Dudley cat is out of the Harrison bag. ; Lawyer Gay, counsel of the National Republican League, let the secret out. The printing firm of MARTIN & TALLMADGE has brought suit against the League for an unpaid bill of $10,000. The Republican League is the great conservator and pro- moter of that form of Republicanism which represents organized greed. It is the frier of fat, but objects to parting with any moreof the fat than is absolutely necessary to secure a majority of votes at a critical point. Now it so happens that the printing bill n question was ordered by W. W. Dup- LEY, the author of the infamous blocks of five?’ circular and of other crimes against the ballot box. In order there- fore to save its bacon, the League’s coun- sel let the fact out that DupLEy did not represent the League, but was the per- sonal agent of the then candidate HAR- RISON. Since the election DupLzEr has not been rebuked. He has not been banished from Republican councils. He has been allowed to fatten on the favor of the administra- tion. Worse than all, he has been pro- tected by Republican officials from the consequences of his corrupt and criminal conspiracy against the rights of the people of Indiana. The reason for all this is now plain, to the shame of the President and his party. But in making it plain the League’s coun- sel has blundered. It was worth at' least 510. 000 to the President to have had the secret kept. It would be worth infinitely more to his party had there been no such secret and no connection between him and DUDLEY. — 2 —U— — Tue Cherokee Indians are not troubled with modesty. Their delegation now in Washington have instructions to ask for the abrogation of the 14th article of the treaty of 1866, which provides for the settlement of friendly Indians on the Cherokee strip, discharge from several money obligations to the Government, and $2 an acre for the lands in the strip. This price is an advance of 50 cents an acre over the offer made by Congress and amounts to an addition of over three millions to the total cost of the strip. The way in which the Cherokee Council has treated the United States Commission does not invite much patience or liBerality in the treatment of their demands. — . — — THE area of the storm which com- menced Sunday is of enormous extent and most destructive character. Coming from the West it extended over a large part of the Mississippi Valley, and an arm of it reached into Canada, causing great damage to property in Montreal. The worst sufferer was the town of Clinton, Ky., where ten people were killed and fifty-five were injured, St. Louis was the next greatest sufferer in loss of life and damage to property, and the village o* Brooklyn in Illinois was badly damaged by the wind. The full extent of the storm is probably not yet known. i THE projected Pan-American Railway is undoubtedly a great enterprise and contains the possibility of spe spa ben- efits to the Americas.

The WORLD does not have one principle of action and one standard of duty for judging the Republican party and an entirely different principle and standard for the Democratic party. The Boodler in politics and the Pluto- cratin Government is equally objectionable and dangerous, no matter what party brand he may wear. In seating Brice by the side of Quay the Democratic party has estopped it- self, and done all that it could to prevent the Democratic party of the country from con- demning the influences and tendencies in the Republican party which are illustrated in the self-advancement through money and man- agement of the Mortons, Quays, Wanamakers and Stanfords. The WoRLD’S objection to Mr. Brice is based wholly upon the fact that he represents boodie and wire-pulling in politics and noth- ing else. He has had no training for nor ex- perience in statesmanship. He has never made a speech nor contributed an idea in the political contentions of the country. He was a lamentable failure even as a campaign man- ager. He is to get the Senatorship simply because he has put up the money for it in campaign contributions and in the election and purchase of members of the Legisiature. Thia is a disgrace to the Democracy of Ohio and a deep injury tothe party of the whole Republic. The WORLD, true to its convictions and consistently with it@ course heretofore, has done what it could to prevent this result.

The New Francis Organ. From the Kansas City Times. Postmaster Willlam Hyde of St. Louls, Mo., passed through the city yesterday en route to St. Joseph.

The paper, itis said, willbeof the independent; Demo cratic stripe in politics and will endeavor to revolutionize the Democratic political affairs in the Fourth Congresslonal District. It is expected that a warm fight will be precipi- tated between the new paper and the St. Joseph Gazette, the present Democratic organ in the Fourth District. Both papers are re- ported to have plenty of money and willing to spend it, therefore, ifthe expected fight is brought on it will likely bea long and hot one. - Curing La Grippe. Labouchere in Truth. I like to be in the fashion, so I bore my fate with equanimity when I discovered that I had caught the prevailing epidemic. All of a sud- den I seemed to have caught a cold, and took to sneezing, etc. Then came a cough, a headache, and an all-overish ache. Knowing that it was not dangerous, I proceeded to doc- tor myself by the light of common sense. To prevent any fever, I at once administered to myself thirty grains of quinine—that settled the fever. To meet the coughI took unlim- ited squill pills—that settled the cough. To meet the cold, I went to bed, heaped on my bed blankets, and took nothing but slops— that settled the cold.

The only claim tnat Brice has to a spatin the United States Senate is money. Money in itself is a good thing. As to its mere posses- sion there is nothing wrong. It is the misuse of it that is to be objected to. Hrice is praised because he spent money freely in the na- tional campaign and in the Ohio campaign. Is that the road in which the people who favor a people's government desire to travel? It so, it is only necessary that they should think seriously to discover that the road leads away from popular government and directly to money government, or, what would be no worse, monarchy. Niedringhanuse’ Patents. From the New York WORLD. Republican Congressmen Niedringhaus of St. Louis is guilty of disloyalty to his party’s creed. He owns an expiring patent on gran- ite ironware, and he obtained a place on the Patents Committee in order to secure its ex- tension. Some one, however, convinced him that this was wrong. and, in spite of the ex- ample of Warner Miller and other woodpulp statesmen, he is about to give up his place in the committee. Such cowardiy weakness, such a betrayal of pals, bas not been wit- nessed since the Credit Mobilier investigation. Fixing the Assessors. From the Kansas City Times. The fact that Mr. J. W. Hamilton, as State Treasurer of Kansas, will be one of the mem- bers of the Board of Railroad Assessors which will fix the taxes of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Raliway Co., of which Mr. J. W. Hamillto® is general live stock agent, might be a sufficient reason to a foolishly sen- sitive man why he should not hold both offices. Mr. Hamilton, however, is confident that his rigorous sense of justice and his nice regard for the proprieties will be found to be fully equal to the delicacy @ situation, Eqpally ‘Guilty.

The Ministerial Bill Granting a Free Home- stead of 100 Acres to Every Living Family of Twelve Children of the Same: Father and Mother—How Members of Parliament Regard the scheme. Bv Telegraph to the Post-Drarator. UTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 14.—The joke of the seseion in the Provincial Parliament fs the ministerial measure foreshadowed in the speech from the throne giying a free home- stead of 100 acres to every living family of twelve children of the same father and mother. Families of twelve and over are by no meass scarce among the French-Canadian population of Oanada, especially inthe rural districts, but the merriment created by the proposition of the Government proceeds from its official recognition and proposed en- couragement of legitimate fecundity. The bill has not, as yet, been discussed K- cept in a moderate way, but when brought down in detail its provisions will doubtiess be subjected toa more or less humorous critt- cism. One honorable gentleman, disc g the proposed reward of domestic prolifieacy, complained of its inefficiency. A hundred acres of land, often worth but 30 cents an acre, is not, in the opinion of some Canadian legislators, asufficient inducement to a com- pliance with the requisite conditions of fecun- dity. Mr. Taillon, chief of the opposition, suggested that a proportionate fraction of the grant should be given for every child over twelve in the same family, and itis under- stood that the Government will take the pro- posal INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. There would appear to be some force in the proposition that If fruitfulness and multipli- cation of this kind Is to receive State recogni- tion at all itis not reasonabie that the grant to families of say thirty or forty children should de the same as that given to compara- tively small families of twelve or thirteen. Your correspondent has endeavored to arrive at an approximate number of the families in this province eligible for free homesteads under the new measure, but there are no sta- tistics ofthe kind to fall back upon. The Hon. Joan Blanchet, ex-Secretary of the province, informed your correspondent that there are at least 200 such cases in his county, Beauoe, and the provinoe contains sixty-five counties. A well-known statesman, who was discussing the matter over the walnuts and wine at a recent, gubernatorig! dinner at Spencer Wood, suggested that 10,000 such cases could be found. Paul De Casees, Premier Mercier’s brother-in-law, and famous as a statistician, considers this estimate as twice too high, and Col. Rhodes, Minister of Agricuiture, and author of the bill, has no statistics bearing upon the matter. To what extent Canadians are fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth may be gleaned from the fact that when Canada was ceded to Great Britain in 1760 the French- Canadian population in America numbered but 60,000. In 130 years this comparative hand- ful of people has increused to 3,800,000 without any aid from foreign Immigration. Tne Hon. Gideon Ouimel, ex-Prime Minister of the Province of Quebec and now Superintendent of Public Instruction, is the twenty-seventh chiid ofthe same father and mother. That this is nota phenomenal instance of prolif- icacy in Canada is shown by the existence of a well-designed rule in the French-Canadian parishes that the twenty-sixth child in a family is adopted and brought up dy the par- ish priest. Onetwenty-sixth is the propor- tion of the tithe to the church and the cure takes the twenty-sixth child as well the twenty-sizth lamb and the -sixth ton of of cats and potatoes. Dr. Larocque, the Sergeant-at- Arms of the Parliament House, has had eighteen chiidren, although only ten are now living. His mother, bis married sisters and all his brothers’ wives have each seen FOURTEEN OLIVE BRANCHES round about their house at one and the same time. The family of F. X. Lemieux, M. P for Levis, includes 13 children; that of Coro- ner Belleau, 12; that of the Chevalier Marti- neau, 14; that ot F. X. Letourneau, tinsmith, 13; that ot T. L. Letounea, St. Pierre Mont - magny, 20. There are twenty-six living chſl- dren in the family of Charles Larin, proprie- tor of the City Hotel, Montreal, anda woman residing at Lake St. John, whose name is for- gotten, has a familv of thirty-two. Ebe- yard ardy, hardware merchant of this city, has been biessed with fourteen children in thirteen years of married life, and none of them were twins, while the 84-year-old wife of Thomas Lavelle, hotel Keeper, is the mother of eleven children. A half-breed named Lafrance, residing at Chariesbourg, bas a family of twenty-seven, but has been three times married. That some of the fathers of the city are really so in a double nn shown by tue fact that Mayor Lee, of the Parish, is the father of a family of twelve, while Oity Councilor Duquet’s quiver contains fifteen arrows, and City Councilor Vincent’s twelve. The Government reply to the complaint that the proposed grant is not sufficiently large will likely be that, considering that the num- ber of eligible claimants is so heavy, the bur- den created by the bill is as large as the Province can well afford to bear.

An investigation re- vealed the fact that the address in question is | the home of the dead woman’s son and that she died almost in the doorway after he had refused her adm or sheiter the nicht before. The of this shocking example filtal feeble of ingratitude was an old and woman whose long life had been a constant battie with pov- and hardships of every description.

Her strug- gle for tence bas been a hard one. For months at atime her son, upon whose door- step she died, has known nothing of her whereabouts. This son, Joseph Gannon, is a jank man. He has been marriea ten years and his. family consists of a wife and two ehildren. About s o’clock Sunday night his old mother knocked at his door, which is in the basement of the Twenty-eighth street ten- ment.

By Telegraph to the Post-l)tapatcr. Barn, Me., Jan. 14.—Harold M. Sewell, late Consul to Samoa, left for Washington yester- day afternoon and hia trip is thought here to have considerable significance. In his speech at the presentation of a flag to the High School yesterday, he declared that the danger which threatens us is our lack of sensitive- ness regarding our nation’shonor. He said: If I were asked to namethe greatest dan- ger to the public I would not find it in any of those with which our campaign or- ators have made us familiar; not in ore trade or protection, — ceftralization nor States’ rights, for ou poe” are not 80 servile as to be ensiaved by the one nor so short-sighted as to permit the other to be carried to ruinous and absurd extremeg. Our danger ie not that we fall to properly conduct our affairs among our- selves, but that we fail to maintain a firm and becoming attitude toward other nations, that we want in proper national pride. Worthy of emulation is that spirit of military Europe which everywhere unfuris the country’s flag and ever hboilds it high before the = le. Worthy of emulation is that spirit which fos- ters national sensitiveness and jealousy of national honor, which teaches the people to resent the slightest stain upon it as they would upon their own . „Such a spirit we need among us to-day. But go with meto the distant islands of the Pacific, see as I have seen that flag humill- ated and dishonored, and you will come to realize that eternal vigilance is the price you must pay if you would have it respected, and — will learn to love itas you never have efore. When it ceases to be res abroad the mission of your ships is ne, and the ruin of your noble industry will be first to warn us ot our national decay. And is that flag respected now? ask the captains of Bath; ask Compton of the Haytien Repaplic; ask Adams at Samoa; ask the officers of our navy treated witb scorn and contempt in Chili an Peru, and they will tell you that there is nota flag of any civilized power which is respected leas than is ourown. Not long sincea at nation put upon us an affront that no third-rate power ln Europe would have submitted to for a moment without staking its national e to resent it. Pendin a con- ference held at our capital, pre- sided over by our Secretary of State, in defiance of an honorable understanding with this country, she seized the very terri- tory, the autonomy of whieh formed the agreed basis of the negotiations. The rights of our citizens were disregarded, their prop- erty destroyed, their lives imperiled, our flag was trampled upon and burnt and returned to us a charred and tattered ent, and yet— and | speak now of fact and tendencies, not of rties—there were those, you will remem- r, trustees, for the time, of the nation’s honor, who saw in this ‘only a discour- tesy.

At that time Texas Tom, or Tom Walsh, was running the game which he is still running over Scott’s, on th and Olive streets. Chas. Pugh, Jim Reed, Cote Uliman and Bobby Kerr were running another over Mun- ger’s Laundry, on Olive, near Bighth. Singleton Cave, the Patriarch, had one over Furber’s saloon, on Eighth and Olive. ' Harry Emory had a game at 707 Pine street. Joe Lightburn had another at 709 Chestnut street, Eph Eddy and Sam Houston were interested in a game at the northeast corner of Eighth and Olive streets. And there were several small games around town. They began to consult about the best way to get rid of Torro INTERFERENCE, i and negotiations which lasted for sev weeks finally resulted in a trust, in which there were eight directors and the scheme of which was fully exposed in the SunDAY Posr- DisPaTou. Oave went to Tom Walsh and offered him a chance to come in. He held out advantages which were not to be lightly considered. Among them was an excellent and safe loca- tion, but what was considered the chief of all was that the combination had secured the services of attorneys whom it was very desirable to have as allies and if Walsh went into the trust he would have the benefit of the counsel. Walsh listened and when Cave had finished Walsh told him he did not want any trust in his; bis room was enough to satisfy him, and he did not care to go into an ther, and as for attorneys, the one he had had for a long time was just as good a one as he wan This put Walsh at outs with the rest of them and they organized their trust with him.

One or two unsuccessful attempts to raid it were made, but they were not successful.

The School Board settled the question by mak- ing a new school district, which embraces e. To the P ay vy hey will be admitted to The trouble arose over the refusal of the white people of the community to submit to the provisions of the State Constitution and the ruling of the Supreme Court and permit . the negro children to attend school and oo- cupy the same rooms with their own. It is a strange place for such a difficulty to arise, but it existed there, and there was serious danger that the trouble would not be settled without bloodshed, for the negroes stand oo their rights to attend the white schools, and the white people, even the ee citizens, armed themselves, determined to resist to the bitterest extremity the effort of the blacks to push their way in THE CONSTITUTION of Iliinois says that no person of school age shall be refused admission tothe schools on account of color, and under this provision mixed schools are maintained in Alton other parts of the State, but Upper Alton refuses to have them. A negro laborer named John Peair wanted his children to attend the white school, and made application for their admission, but was re- fused. In January, 1888, he brought suit in the Supreme Court to compel the School Board to admit his children, and the Supreme Court decided in his favor, but there was no money on deposit in the clerk’s office to pay forthe issuance of the writ, $75 being the lawful fee. When the present school year began there Was a compromise by which the negroes se- cured a separate school with a colored princi- paland one white and one colored teacher, and everything worked smoothly fora while. But in December the clerk’s fee was paid, the Supreme Court writ was issued and placed in the hands of the Sheriff. Trouble arose among the negroes. They éharged that they ha given Peair the money to pay for the writ soon after the case was decided and he used it to pay his taxes. That made Peair furious and he denounced bitterly the colored people who at such a time turned their abuse on him. Meanwhile the School Board, knowing that the writ was HANGING OVER THEIR HEADs, undertook to make the compromise perma- nent by forcing all the negro children in the district Into the negro school under the com- pulsory education act, and the result was the reverse of what they anticipated. All the children were withdrawn from the ‘‘Salu ad- dition’’ or colored school and demanded ad- mission to the white school. « The board was trying to effect another com- omise when the white people rose and said t did not matter what the School Board did, their children should not go to school with negroes. They were willing to build a school for the negroes, and to admit them to the High School when they were qualified, but they would make no other concessions. The negroes determined not to submit to this and lastW ednesday they marched twenty- five down to the white school and demanded admission. They were admitted to the build - ing, but when the first recess came and the pa- rents of the negro children had gone home, the white children ran them off the grounds. That day and night the negroes were loud in their denunciation of the whites and expressed freely their intention to force that fight. On Friday they appeared again at the school, and as the word had gone out that the ISSUE WAS TO BE MADE there was a large crowd present, both of whites and biacks, and the whites were armed andthe blacks carried razors. The local constables were there, too, to keep or- der. There were several married women, 25 or 80 years of age, in the list of applicants, and they were excluded on account of age. A column of 200 or 300 started for the school, but tne constables refused to admit them on the ground that such acrowd could not properly be admitted. They kept away everyone ex- _ cept about twenty-five who wanted to attend the school. Prot. Powell, the principal, took these into a room to examine them us to their ft- , but he had to discontinue the examina- fiom because his confinement with these peo- Mle in one room made nim deathly sick. He p ised to call upon them at their own school and examine them when they notified him that they were ready for admission to the higher grades. Zhe negroes still continued to threaten vio- lence and Prof, Powell had to call for a guard to protect the school and the pupils. Prof. Pewell says that the display of one weapon in that crowd that assembled on Fri- day would have been the signal fora bloody and fearful riot. W. E. Telly, the principal of the negro School, bas resigned bis — because, he says, be can do nothing for the negroes. He says he carfaot get their parents to keep them free from vermin or take any care of them. The situation at Upper Alton was critical, indeed, until the trouble was settled by the creation of a new district. MUSIO BOXES—HEAR THEM.

CLEVELAMS, O., Jan. 14.—A morning paper publishes a statement subm itted by an expert book-keeper, showing Irregularities in the old accounts of the city of Cleveland, amount- ing to about $8,000,000. Nearly all of this money was paid out by the city without the approval of the Council, although the laws of the State of Ohio distinotly require that the claim be included in the regular claim ordinance. The publica- tion creates great sensation. Nearly a year ago the Oity Council authorized the Board of Revision to examine the books relating to the city’s financial history. It was necessary in the prosecution of the work to look over the books in the City Treasurer’s office and the disclosures made were startling inthe extreme. These were hinted atin the — ot the experts to the Board of Revision. When the latter made their report to the Board of Vouncilmen, however, slight, ff any. reference was wade to them. The experts signed the report to the Board of Councilmen under protest. and only after it had represented to them that these irregularities had been investigated before. Last night Julius Lem- , One of the experts, sent the Counoil a mmunication asking that his name be loken from the record saying that he had been induced tosign thesame under false representations; thatthe former investiga- tion was not complete; that giaring irregu- larities had occurred and that if given access to the books again he would make full ex- — 1 free of cost to the city. Mr. Lem ck’s communication was referred back to him with the insinustion attached to it that he matter bad better be allowed to rest. fter the COounecll adjourned ex-Presi- dent Lembeok gaye the papers a com- lete statement of the irregularities urring durin the period named. It showed that $8,000,000 had been paid out with- out the approval of the council and ina most euliar manner. The entries upon the books ere all made ina misleading and uncertain way. The most startling feature of the re. rt, however, is a table 2 that $1,000, - boo or $2,000,000 were paid out and asserted to have been paid out without any entry in any book to show to whom the money was paid or _ for what purpose. A public meeting will probably be called to take action it the coun- _ il ignores the startling disclosures con- tained in the report. — A Murderous Convict.

J. W. Johnson, late of Huntiagton, W. Va., passed through the city last even- ing going to Hannibal, Mo., for interment. Mr. John- son is a Methodist minister and a Mason. He had a church in Hannibal before he went to Hunt- ington to live anda brother and sister still live in Hannibal, Mr. Johnson’s death came about under pe- culiar circumstances. He was a candidate for initiation into the Royal Arch degree of Ma sonry at Huntington, and presented himself Friday evening at the a ppointed time. There had been two other candidates but one was absent. The other was an Episcopal minis- ter, Rev. W. F. Marshall. ONE FEATURE of the ritual occurs in what is known as the dark room. This is an apartment on the third floor. It is about 8 feet wide and 20 long. At one end is a window and at the other a door opening into the lodge-room proper, which Is lighted with electricity, In the middle of the little room is a three-foot trap which opens into a vault, oran arrangement like an ele- vator shaft. This vault extends from the ceiling of the second story to the floor, is some 8 feet square and walled up with wooden partition. It bas a depth of some 18 feet. In theceiling of the dark room is a hook, to which is fastened a a double block and tackle. The first biock is closé to the ceiling, while the second is near the floor and directly over the trap. A rope seven-eighths of an inch thick passed three times over the top block. It is attached to a ring abuvethe second block, the end being wrapped around similar to a hangman’s knot. Beneath the lower block hangs a short loop, through the end of which is passed a short stick or bar. THIS STICK IS STRADDLED by the candidate, hislegs hanging on either side, while he clutches the block with his hands and holds himself in position. He is then lowered into the vault by the members of the lodge who have hold of the other end of the rope which generally lies loosely piled upon the floor. The ceremony at this point is symbolic of the search in the ruins of King Solomon’s Temple. The vault represents the ruins, and the candl- date one ofaparty mekingthesearch. He déscends into the vault, and fndsin one corner a small box, whichis typical of the Ark ofthe Covenant. After this he is raised again to the dark room.“ Next foliows the lecture, during which is explained the ceremony he has just passed through, and the Biblical events it symbolizes. TRI ACOIDENT. It was about 10 o’ciock when the dark room was reached and arrangements for the final ceremony commenced. One of the members, Mr. Crider, had descended into the vault and made tbe usual preparations. He had been taken out. Rev. Mr. Marshall then went through the ordeal. Mr. Johnson was a tall, well-built man, weighing some 180 pounds. He had seated himself astraddle the bar and caught the block with his hands. Suddenly there was a whirfing sound. The end of the rope was seen to jerk loose from the ring about the block. Mr. Johnson disappeared. and an instant later was heard the dull sound with which he struck the hard floor of the vault, thirteen feet below. The members standing about the trap and holding the rope were ALMOST PARALYZED by the accident. Theircries brought the rest of the lodge to the apartment. One coil of the rope still remained over the upper block. With it Mr. Peyton, a slightly built gentleman, was lowered into the vault. Lights were brougnt and the unfort- unate preacber was found lying on his side at fulllength. He had struck on his left hip. Mr. Johnson was not unconscious, bat his deep roaning showed he was suffering the most ntense agony. A ladder was lowered, and with Mr. Peyton’s assistance he was enabled to slowly mount until ready hands could draw him put of the vault. He was carried to a stretcher, and Drs. R. D. Vickers and John D. Meyers summoned. r. Johnson was fatally hurt and died Sun- day morning after great suffering. A Union Memorial service was held Sunday evening in the Huntington Opera-house, attended by all the ministers of the olty. That is the story as it was telegraphed. JOHN D..VINCIL, the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of accident could happen in his initiation.’ He said: 1 have no doubt the story as telegraphed is correct. Those who were present seem to have made a very full and complete statement of the unfortunate accident. Allinitiations in the Royal Aroh degree are acco: ding to a ritual authorized by the Grand Chapter, but the chapters have discretion as to the incidents. I do not know how much the vault is used or whether it is used anywhere beside Huntington. It is correct enough. The Royal Arch degree is founded upon the rebuilding of the temple at Jerusa- lem and the finding, according to tradition in a vault in the old temple of the five books of Mosesand other sacred writings. In using the vault they were carrying out the symbolism of the degree. It seems strange to me though, that they should have thought it necessary to have so deep a cham- ber—thirteen feet—and that no care should have been taken to keep the apparatus for descending into it perfectly secure. „During all my Masonſe life I never heard ot an accidentin an initiation before. This one is particularly painful to me, asI knew Mr. Johnson very well. Idid not know him as a Mason, but ne a minister. He was for some years in Southeast Missouri, and had charge of several churches, in Oharleton and elsewhere. Then he went to the North Missouri conference, and there I knew more of him. He had a charge in Loa- isiana, and was later at Hannibal, where I see be is to be buried. He was an excellent man, an active worker and a good minister. Mr. Vinoil said he did not know whether the vault and rope were used in St. Louis or not. During the time he has beeg in St. Louis he said be had never attended @ oval Arch in- itiation. * Other persons were seen, but the informa- tion could not be obtained. E MESSAGE THAT NEVER CAME. Omitted Invitations Check Elequence at the Merchants’ Mxchange Bauduet. There was hot a little quiet laughter on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange this morn- ing, occasioned by an oversight that placed not a few of the ex-presidents iu rather an embarrassing position. When the annual lunch on the occasion of handing over the affairs of the old tothe new Board of Direct- ors takes place, the custom has always been to invite former Presidents to partici- pate, and a brief address from each has enerally beemexpected. By some oversight fhe invitations were omitted yesterday. Sey- eral of the ex-presidents were on the floor, much more carefully attired than usual, and from the breast et of the coat of each a manuscript containing an epitome of the im- 2 remarks to be made protruded. The our forthe lune came, but no invitations, and after waiting until those who had been summoned to the feast had effectually demol- ished the viands set before them, the unin- vited ex-presidents slowly and disconsolately Jett the building, sadder and hungrier men ‘than when they entered, Rebbers Captured, By Telegrarh ta the Posr-Dtararon.

Hoffman was called in the Criminal Court this morning the defendant withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered aplea of guilty. Judge Normile then sentenced him to serve two years in the penitentiary. The charge against Hoffman was one of grand larceny. The defendant at the time of the eommission of his crime was a jeweler’s artisan in the empioy of the firm or Wild 4 Streit, 10 North Sixth street. 6 a n he stole twenty-nine small diamonds from the bench of a fellow workman who was en- gaged in setting thestones ina star. De- ective Ed Fagan found the jewels, one of which Hoffman bad set and pawned. All were recovered. Hoffman had n married but a week previous to the theft. CONTINUED AGAIN. The attorney acting for the defendants in the case of the State inst Davia K. Boogher and Henry F. Ferris, charged with forgery in some 1 counts, appeared in the Oriminal urt this morning with a petition for a continuance. Notwithstanding the fact that the actions have decorated the docket of the court for over one year he made his point and secured a further stay of proceedings. He did it by presenting an affidavit to the effect that John „Boos ber, a brother of the defendant and as alleged one of the material witnesses for the defense, was unavoidably absent, be- ing detained in Texas by unforeseen circumstances, Judge Normille wanted the case to go totrial. He is very anxious to dispose of all the old back numbers in order to in some measure clear the docket. He did not want to grant the continuances, but under the circumstances there was no way out of it. He granted the continuance. Then he had every one of the many witnesses in the action called by name. He lined them up in front of the bar and cautioned them in the most de- cisive language to ap r in court on Monday morning, March 10, at which time the attor- ney said he would have the missing witness inthis city. He told them tnat the case „e go to trlal on that date and warned them that attachments would be issued +e any one of them absent. David R. Booghber and Henry F. Ferris are charged with forgery. It ia alleged in the indictment shat during May, 1888, they in- dorsed the names of John F. booxher and G. L. Boogher upon a number of promissor notes, which notes, with intent to cheat an defraud, they passed upon such men as J. Brooks Johnson, J. C. Wiegand, J. O. Jobn- son, E. W. Green, W. 8.

In the Senate Shaw of the Lima district nominated Brice and Gaumer of Zanesville seconded the nomi- nation, saying that the nominee was a ®ravye soldier in time of war and a brilliant statesman in time of peace, Schneider of Cincinnat! nominated Murat Halstead. It was received with cheers, hisses and laughter. The presiding officer gave notice that a repetition of the disorder would lead to a clearance of the lobby. Massie of Chillicothe nominated ex-Gov. Foster. The vote in the Senate was: Hal- stead, 1; Foster, 14, and Brice, 19. In the House a all was demanded to bring in mem- bers. Brown of Hancock, who is sick, was carried to the hall la achair. The only other Democrats absent were Troeger of Holmes and Lawler of Franklin, who is ill. Willis and Blair, Republicans, were absent. Hunt of Sandusky presented the name of Calvin 8. Brice, which was seconded by Believilie of Montgomery. Representative Braman named Chas. Foster, which was seconded by Repre- sentative Laylin. On the roll-call the vote counts for Brice were received with cheers, as was also that of Munson, two of the mem bers who were credited with being bolters. Smith, the third caucus bolter, voted for L. T. Neal. His vote was received with a subdued murmur. Penneli, a strong Brice man and worker, voted for Foster by mistake, and be- fore he could make the correction the House was in an uproar with threats that the ball would have to be cleared unless order was maintained. The vote in the House stood: Brice, 57; Foster, 52, and Neal 1. Brice was deciared the choice of the House, having re- ceived a majority of the votes. The result will be canvassed by the Senate and House in joint session to-morrow. The joint result of the two branches is: Brice, 76; Foster, 66; Hal- stead, 1, and Neal 1. Wilson Re-Elected.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia was tendered a banquet by the St. Louis clergy at 8t. John’s Diocesan Li- brary. The Archbishop, during his residence in St, Louis, was always most popular with the clergy, and nearly every parish priest in the city and many of their assistants, too, sat down to the banquet in his honor this after- noon. Representatives from the Jesuits, Re- demptorists and other religious orders were also present. There were four regu- lar toasts proposed and responded to. The first toast, ‘‘Archbishop ee was responded to by Rev. Miles V. Tobyn of St. Mary and St. Joseph's parish. Rev. William Walsh, pastor of St. Bridget’s Church, spoke on Archbishop Kenrick and the St. Louis Arch@iocese.’’ The third toast, St. Louis, the Mother of Bishops, furnished Fath Phelan an opportunity for elo. quengs. The fourth and last regular toast, Leo XIII., was respondea to by Rev. Father Smith of the Assumption Church. After the regular toasts the Archbishop arose and delivered a most pleasing address to his old associates. The banquet lasted fora cou- ple of hours and was a most gratifying suo- cess in every way.

Ellen berger, John Trouble About the Reading—The General Situation Erpenslen Abroad. Henry Clews says this week: ‘‘This winter has been a peculiarly adverse one for the coal properties, and Reading, fromthe nature of its position, has felt the pinch mostseverely. It is stated that during the past year over $1,000,000 has been expended out of earn- ings for betterments, etc., which should have been paid for in part or whole by bonds held in thé company’s treasury for that purpose. As a result of these expenses and the decrease in earnings, the management are opposed the payment of any interest whatever upon the preference issues, stating in defense of their position 4hat the company has earned but $100,000 above fixed charges, and that con- sequentiy no interest can be paid. The gen- eral situation remains about the same as a wee o. Money isin rather better supply, call loans having ruled about 6 percent. Con- siderable amounts of time loans have also been made at the same months. Easier money the London market somewhat, the Bank of Engiand gained about £300, gold during the week. The London money market, however, is likely to continue on the basis of highwates, the expectation being that old will shortiy go to South America. The ank of France is the only foreign institution holding an important surplus of gold. The high rates for money have induced some sell- ing of American stocks in London, increasing the difficulgies of any dull movement on this side. At the moment, London is the weak spot in the financial world, speculation in new enterprises there for the last two years having gone on at a rapid and even reckless rate. @ aggregate amounts of capital sub- scribed to loans and companies of all kinds ip Great Britain during the last few years have been as follows: ve « ees e—$480,000,000 sing, ame 88.88.8883 1889. eens 000.000 Such expansion as that of the last two years is out of all proportion to the growth o legitimate trade. Reaction, of course, must follow. It does not appear to be near at hand just now, and there are influences at work which will tend to counteract and delay its }force; still these are facts not to be over- looked. At home we are still on the high road ot prosperity; railroad earnings, clearing- house returns, the demand for money and other indications all 2 that the ma- jority of our industries are in satisiactory shape. Certainly our railroads have little cause of complaint, and better returns are in prospect for the holders of all sound railroad securities. Although the bears find occasional weak spots here and there, still we look for increased confidence in the future, and in due season for better prices. RAILROAD NEWS. Meéting of Joint Committee—Withdrawal of Frisco From the Trans-Missouri, The Joint Committee met yesterday with Edw. W. Braisted in the chair. The business vefore the meeting was for the purpose of considering the rates on rags and paper stock from East St. Louis to Boston and the rates on lead to Mansfield, Pa. It was agreed that when the sum of the two locals to Mansfield, Pa., were less than the sixth ciass rate to Pittsburg that the former should govern, and circulars were issued to that effect. The withdrawal of the Frisco from the Trans- Missouri Association has cuased con- siderable speculation among railroad men as to the ultimate result of this action. The Frisco being an important. factor in main- taining the commodity rates now in effect be- tween the rivers and to Texas itis a question if the roads can keep the organization per- fected without the co-operation of the ’ Frisco. The evidence of the commercial prosperty of St. Louis during the past year is found in the — of earnings of the strictly St. Louis roads, ing here is $8,478,185. These figures are aston- ishing, and are more remarkable that these same roads were more or less in financiai trouble during the previous three or four years, and thatthe annual report shows no decrease on the part of any St. Louis roed. The Local Bureau for Weighing and Inspec- tion of Freight reports the excess gained ag $1,313. 93 for the month of December. PERSONAL MENTION. Edward W.

The Chicago Board of Trade Opens War on Them. ‘ OHICAGO, III., Jan. 14.—President Baker of the Board of Trade, in his address preceding the bucket-shop discussion yesterday, said: „Wulle the press and the pulpit of Chicago are declaiming against gambling in Chicago, secluded places where cards are used, the courte of this State are holding wide open the doors ofthe dens of vice all over the land where betting !s carried on, based on quota- — which we furnish by judicial order. hese resorts are now established in nearly every village in the land, and their bigh- sounding names (in imitation of legitimate halis of commerce) with such attractive sur- roundings as their enormous ill-gotten gains enable them to maintain, is making gambling respectable in communities where sare an abomination. In our own and several other States laws have been enacted expressly to wipe out thie evil, but they have not been enforced. The efforts of this associasion, through its officers, to ceaseto be the feeder of these immoral Institutions by owning end controlling our quotations have been unsuc- cessful owing tothe decisions of an elective judiciary, who are unable to distinguish any difference between business and gambling. We seem then, to be left to our own resources, and after due and careful consideration, Iam in favor of the only remedy left us, though it may be heroic.’’ It was said by one speaker during the ensu- ing debate that the New York Produce Ex- change would furnish quotations for the pucket shops if the Chicago Board ceased, but the argument seemed ‘to carry little weight, and the resolution encouraging the directors to act was adopted.

Racine, Wis., Jan. 14.—Simeon Whiteley, a Well-known and highly respected citizen of this city, died yesterday of paralysis. He was born in England and came to this country with his parents in 1842. In 1850 he entered the printing business in the Commercial Advertiser office in this city, afterward became connected with the Watertown Chronicle, the Old Oaken Bucket, at Madison, and the Aurora, (III.) Guardian. He took an active part in Illinois politics, and itis said to have been largely due to his efforts that Abraham Lincoln was nominated forthe Presidency. When Sumter was fired on be enrolled as a pri- vate in a battalion formed for the immediate defense of Washington under Cassius M. Clay. During the war Mr. Whiteley was compelled by ili health to decline two very honorable posi- tions and when Gen Cameron was appointed Minister to St. Petersburg, the only obstacle to Mr. Whiteley’s accompanying him was bis lack of proficiency in the French language. n 1863 he accepted the agency to the Grand te River Indians and removed to Denver. He afterwards engaged in the publication of the Commonwealth, the oldest daily paper in Colorado. When Colorado adopted the Con- ptitution, Mr. Whiteley returned to Racine. He never consented go the use of bis name for an elective office and the only appointment he ever made any personal fight to obtain was thal of American Consul to some city near his birth N STILL ‘ The greatest and latest of Rider TIME Haggard novels, Beatrice, a 70 dramatie story, profusely illustrated, is now manning in the SUNDAY PosT- BEGIN DISPATOM.

Nzgw YorK, Jan. 14. ARSMEN are all asking, Why won’t Tale row eCornell? That question ws “ba been bothering — them ever since last te June, when Cornell’s A crew of eight wonderful * 4 little fellows came down 8 8 to New London and pol- if ished off their antago- : h nists in beautiful form. They went on to Phila- deiphia and fairly beat the strong crew of the University of Pennsy!- Vaoia in a desperate of a mile and a half for the Childscup. The river was very rough on the east side, and Cor- nell shipped haif a dozen heavy seas that filled her boat with water. Pennsyivania got two lengths there, but Cornell picked it all up in the last quarter of a mile, and won in the world-beating time of 6:40 for the mile and a half. From that mo- ment Yale has been coy about rowiag Cornell. John Dewitt Warner, President of the Cornell University club, was asked by a reporter yes- terday what Cornell was going to do about Yale’s declination to row her. Tale has de- clined to row Cornell!“ he said, on the ground that a race between these two colleges would detract from the interest in the great annual Yale-Harvard race, which is really the aquatic event of the year. Yale seems to have forgotten that on the two last occasions, when Yale, Harvard and Cornell met in a regatta, Cornell won not only the university but the freshman events. That is really the reason why Yale now dodges a race with us. There is a strong probability that au Inter-collegiate Rowing Association will presentiy be formed, from which Yale and Harvard may stay out if they dare or into whose races they may come if they dare. The chances are that Cornell, Columbia, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania willform this association and invite all colleges to send crews to its yearly regattas. Ten years ago it would bave made a great deal of difference to Cornell if Yale or Harvard bad stayed out, but now Cornell has 1,500 men, and if Yale and Harvard want to make excuses and say that they are no longer able to turn out good crews and that they are no lon ger able to row us races,it won’t make any difference. The really important college re- gatta of the year will be where Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Amherst and the University of Pennsylvania struggle for championship honors.’’ O’Conner’s Backer Withdraws. TORONTO, Ontario, Jan.14.—As far as aquatic Matters are concerned Joseph Rogers has severed his connection with Oarsman Wm. O’Connor. Rogers said: In paying attention to him I have been obliged to neglect my own work, and as my business is rapidly increasing I cannot spare time any longer and therefore I have con- cluded to withdraw altogether.’’ In reference to Hanlon’s remark that he would yet win the championship, Rogers said: 1 don’t think he would have any chance against O’Connor. Hanlon isa great oarsman, but a greater than he has appeared in the person of Wm. O’Connor.’’ Queer Racing at Clifton. CLIFTON, N. J., Jan. 14.—There was excite- ment yesterday at the races of the Passaic County Agricultural Society. After Supt. Clare had angered the crowd by miserable starts in two first races the people became simply furious over the manner in which St. John, the favorite, was ridden in the third race. The horse opened a strong favorite, but without any apparent reason Dan Honig’s mare Hilda, which opened a 8tol shot, was instalied as favorite at odds of 6to5. This strange turn is the bet ting aroused the suspicionsof the judges, who called Horton, St. Jobn’s jockey, into the stand and told him he must ride to win. Horton mounted q@ithout whip or spur and lost at least two lengths at the start by dash- ing acrossthe track. His riding was queer throughout and Hilda won by a length. There was a howl to have bets declared off, and at 6 p. m. the Executive Committee of the so- clety examined Sam Love, the owner; Llewellyn Lloyd, the trainer, and Horton, the jockey of St. John. They gave unsatistactory excuses forthe horse’s defeat, and there will be afurther investigation of the race and there may be some ruling off the course done. The races resulted as follows: First race, purse $300, of which $50 to second, selling allowances, five-eighths of a mile— Peril 118, Sinnot, first; Joe Cannon 115, Ding- ley, second; Squando 110, Bergen, third.

Murphy, After Being Badly Worsted, Ral- lied and Knocked Out the Spider. SAR FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 14.—Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, feather-weight champion of the world, was knocked out before the California Athletio Ciub last night by Billy Murphy, feather-weight champion of Aus- tralia. It was a fight to a finish fora purse of $2,250. Before the battle President Fulda an- nounced that John L. Sullivan had agreed to fight Peter Jackson before the club for a purse of $15,000, and by a unanimous vote the club approved the proposition and authorized the Board of Directors to make the match. Weir weighed 12442 pounds and Murphy 118%. In the two opening rounds Weir done some very clever upper-cutting, with a rapidity that amuse and surprised the spectators. Weir continued to have the best of the fight, * only succeeding in get- ting in a few body biows during the first seven rounds, the Spider cleverly meeting all bis rushes. The Australian was bleeding freely. He fought savagely in eighth, but was nearly out by a right-hander on the chin, fighting was done in the next four rounds. Weir landed some telling right-hand swinging blows on the Australian’s left ear and jaw in the twelfth round and planted his right and left on Murphy’s eye as the latter attempted to rush him. Although Murphy’s eye was bleeding freely he rallied in this round and ps Weir through the‘ropes and around the ring. In the thirteenth round Murphy came up almost helpless, but surprised everybody by the flerceness with which he fought. With a right-hander on Weir’s head he staggered the Spider, and by swinging blows and upper cuts the Australian sent his antagonist to the floor. Twice Weir arose just in time to save a knock-out and struck freely at Murphy, only to be nocked down again. Both men were very groggy when they came up for the fourteenth round. Murphy led, Weir countered and then the Australian sent him to the floor. The Spider writhed in agony uutil time was called and then arose holding his left wrist, which he clalmed he had broken. Murphy freshened considerably and jumped nimbly out of the ring. He had received the more punishment of the two, Weir, beyond his swollen wrist and lips, showing no signs of the battle. His wrist was found to be sprained only. Both be and Presi- dent Fulda think Murphy hit him in the wind in the th:rteenth round and this sickened him so that -he was unable to withstand the Aus- tralian’s blows on the head. **] BEARTILY recommend Dr. Enno Sander’s Tenfold Carlsbad Sprudel Water, and recom mend it in preference tothe imported Oaris- bad water and its salt.

A MINING MANIPULATION HOW ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO PUT UP FOR THE BENEFIT OF COLORADO PEOPLE. ” They Spend Overa Quarter ofa Million of Dollars to Develop the Brownlow, and Are Then Squeezed Out of Their Steck at Prices Far Below Cost. HE stockholders of the Brownlow Min- ing Co. are endeay- oring to find some way in which they San get even with Denver manip ul a- tors, or at least as- certain the financial condition of the company, or sell out at the market value of the stock, as it is reported by the Denver Mining Exchange. The Brownlow property is located in Park County, Colo,., about fourteen miles - from Leadville, near the town of Fairplay. Mr. Geo. F. Batchelder is presidentofthe company, and alsoof the Denver Mining Exchange. Among the stock- holders here are W. P. Shryock, W. H. Etter, Chas. G. Gaus, Andrew Geisel, Jas. A. Rear- don, Geo. H. Knight, C. Herboth, H. J. Lee, F. J. Langenberg, S. J. Pettittand Eugene F. Williams. The property has a history with which all these gentlemen are now familiar, and which just now is very inter- esting. It was placed in Chicago several years ago, the stockholders there being gen- tlemen of prominence and standjng, the lead - ing one, who was the means of organizing the company, really being F. G. Ensign, Pres!i- dent of the Sunday- school Union. The Chicago company was named the Nestor. The stock- ‘holders had great faith in it, and put up 200, 000. They erected THE FINEST OF BUILDINGS for such purposes. It ie sald these buildings are the best on any mining property in Vol- orado, without exception. The mili building was made large enough for 100stamps. In ad- dition to the $200,000 put up by the Chicago people, the company expended considerabie more money, securing it on an Iis- sue of bonds. These finally became due and the property was sold on them, passing back tothe Denver holders. Chicago had opened upa great deal of ground, had pro- vided a millof ten stamps, and erected very costly buildings, Thatisallshe could bejex- pected to do, and St. Louis was next moved upon. The property was placed here in March, 1887, and the company organized as the Brownlow. There were 100,000shares of the par value of $10each. These were placed at 50 cents each, the control being taken here. This money ran out andtwo assessments of 10 sents ashare each were made. Then the St. Louls members ofthe Board of Directors advanced $8,000, taking a deed of trust on the property. This fell due, and the directors took the company’s note for four months. In the meantime President Batchelder came here and reported to the stockholders, The situation was Very discour- raging, and the outlook anything but prom- ising. Theold superintendent, suspected of trying to work the property for his own bene- fit and buy it in, had been discharged. Under the influence of these re the St. Louis stockholders gave up hope, and nver bought three-fourthe bt the stork held in 88. Louls at RUINOUSLY LOW PRICES, securing about 15,000 shares from Mr. don,Secretary of the company. this stock had been gatnered managers proposed to make up the loss of the St. Louis stockholders in part atleast.

Mr. Shryock learned while there that the com- pany then had $15,000in the 5 What there is now he can not imagine. he mill has been running ten stamps regularly since then, until abouttwo weeks ago, when the Leadvilie telegram in the O8T-DISPATCH stated that it had been shut down for repairs, and would resume witb the full thirty stamps. A calculation on this basis would show the company’s treasury to be in a very good con- dition. In July, when the mine was visited, two car loads smelting ore had been shipped, running over $800each. These shipments, it is supposed, have been continued, but noth- ing actual is known. Inquiries have been made, but no satisfaction has been given. There are a few stockholders at Uhicago, and they have demanded information, but with- out any more success than their St. Louis co- sufferers. They have been greatly discour- aged and several have sold their stock at very low prices. They bave sold and sold until they now have but 14,000 shares. St. Louis bas also soid until now the combined holdings are only 22,500 shares. Denver has 218,500 shares, the control of the n and a p'ant representing over 200,000 of Chicago money and about $50,000 St. Louis money, in addition to the losses in both cities from selling back stock at less than cost. The few stockholders who remain are very wrathy, and when seen this morning did not use choice words in “+ EXPRESSING THEIR INDIGNATION, but at the same time could not see what they could do about it. Mr. Snryock, who holds 11,000 of the 22,500 shares owned heré, will stand by it if it takes every cent he has. Some ofthe others will sell if they can. They are not encouraged in this, however, by the ex- perience of ex-Secretary Reardon. He wanted to see just how things were and placed some stock with Denver brokers, through Joe J. Mullally, about a month ago. The quotations on the stock have been made officially every day since at 40 to 53 cents, but the stock was not disposed of until a couple of days ago, and then to net only 8 cents. Mr. Mul- lally wrote and telegraphed, changed brokers and did everything he could, but could not get rid of the stock until he had worked three days, and then only ata sacrifice. His corre- spondence was very spicy, and he pointedly stated that the matter was not straight and that the Denver Exchange tran- sactions. were not made in good faith. One of bis correspondents, in explain- ing why they could not sell the stock, said he must bave let it be known that he had stock there for sale, as he had been asked several times if it was St. Louis stock he had forsale. A combination, it was stated, had been made to buy St. Louis stock low. Mr. Mullally and several of the stockholders were seen to-day and asked what action they proposed to take, but could not tell what they could do except to stand by what the have, and possibly have a receiver appointe for the property.

SAM'L C. DAVIS & CO. MORE MONEY WANTED. THE WORLD’S FAIR FINANCE COMMITTEE “SEEK, FURTHER OONTRIBUTIONS. A General but Erroneous Supposition That the Subscription Beoks Have Been Closed—Coutributioas Should Be Made Before the Meeting of the House Com- mittee—Some Unfortunate Misunder- N Monday morning the first contingent of the St. Louis reinforce- ments to the Washing- ton World’s Fair dele- gation arrived at the national capital, and fis morning another section reached that city. Some of those named were unable to go, D. P. Dyer among the number, bug several of the members who had intended to return to 8t. Louis made ar- rangements that rendered it possible for them to remain in Washington, and, therefore, the delegation at that city will retain its original strength. A MISUNDERSTANDING. . Some of the collectors of the Finance Com- mittee report that there is a general belief in certain quarters that the subscription list bas been closed, and that contributions will no longer aid the candidacy of this city. This supposition is entirely erroneous, as money isas much or more needed now as it was when the subscriptions were first opened. The fact that the documents per- taining tothe World's Fair are now in the hands of the Senate committee should not cause St. Louisans to forget that there is such a thing as the House of Representatives, and that the two houses will, during the first part of the contest at least, act independly of each other. The amount of the guarantee fund will, it is believed, play a much more im- portant figure in the House than in the Senate, and the Finance Committee believe that St. Louis can fully equal New York and far surpass Chicago, if the pronperty- owners and rich corporations will only do half as well asthe wholesale and retail mer- chants. ; IT IS NOT BELIEVED that the corporations, which are in arrears, are 80 on account of any unwillingness to do their share, but the absence of the names of a number of wealthy concerns from the subscription list, or their appear- ance for inadequatesdmonunts, is expMfined on the ground that the assessments were in st, and that. those who —— 52 own their contribu- from ts other . sessed On the basis of their gross Commalites, bus tet meeting of fue a tatives different lines.

A gentler, pleasanter and far more effective means exists of arousing the organ when somnolent. This is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public tor many years. A resumption by the biliary organ of its secretive function, with the activity attendant upon health. a return to regularity of the bowels, and a re- newal of digestion, are the no less happy and cer- tain results of using the Bitters systematically. Its laxative effect is never painful and drenching, its tgndency being rather to perpetuate regularity than to produce acopious action.
