Harlow Appointed Post- master of St. Louis To-Day. Bverybody Satisfied With the Se- lection of the President. A Long Delayed Settlement of a Bitter Fight—All the Candidates With Political Pulls Defeated—Congressmen Assent te the Cheice of the Executive Because There Is Nothing Else for Them to De— Early Congratulations Received Under Protest — The Appointee Has Ne Plans and Has Made No Piedges. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—John B. Harlow's appointment as Postmaster in St. Louis was sent to the Senate this morning. Ithad been determined to nominate Mr. Harlow as Postmaster yesterday, but owing to an interruption from John B. Harlow. General Wanamaker, who had a small contest on his hands, the President was unable to complete other im- portant matters. Oongressman Frank and Kinsey had their say with the executive yes- terday, and assented to the selection of the President’s choice. Early Congratulations. Whilethere has been for the past forty-eight hours an almost certain knowledge among all persons interested in the Post-office appoint- ment that the President has decided to appoint John B Harlow to the position, a shade of uncertainty has caused much discus- sion. Mr. Harlow has tried to attend to his duties as Superintendent of mails as usual, but the prdtession of friends with congratuia- tions has been a serious bar to effective work. To all who have offered congra'‘ulations he hasshown that until the appointment has been sent to the Senate there was no certainty in it, and while proud of the numerous ex- pressions of gratification from men whose good opinion he values highly he would He was fearful that there might bea slip, which would de mortifying to himself and his friends after all that has been said. Feeling so he has positively refused to discass ' FUTURE PLANS, or give serious thought to any feature of the work he willas Postmaster have to perform. This course has thus farrelieved him from the press of officé-seekers, and surely few dis- pensers of patronage ever approached office as little burdened with obligations as will Mr. Hariow. His reputation asathorough and practical believér in the platform of the Civil Service Reform Association has calmed the pulses of previously agitated clerks appointed under the Democratic regime. They haye not now that fear of removal aroused by rumors ol the appointment of professed politicians. Really, a postmaster with a decent regard for the civil service law has few appointments to make. The best of these are heads of departments, which of right should be his appointees inasmuch as he is responsible for their work, and all per- sons handling money, as he would be called upon to make good any losses through theft or carelessness on their part. Mr. Harlow will not be able to name his suc- cessor to the office of Superintendent of Mails. THE DIVISION OF MAILS while subject to the Postmaster in all mattars of discipline is controlled astothe appoint- ment of its head by the Railway Mall Service. To the Railway Mail Service is due nearly all the advance made in the methods of handling mails in the Post-office Department. This branch has been the progressive part of the Postal Service, and séventeen years ago its leadership was the cause of much jealousy in @ther branches. The clerks in the offices where large quantities of mall originated made no special effort to expedite the trans- mission of mails. Theyjsent matter forward when it was distributed, and they constantly feared that eventually all the distribution of mails would be done on the railways, and the divisions of mails in offices would then be abolished. This jealousy and friction was done away with by the appointment of trained railway mall service clerks to be superintendent of malls in the large cities. The best men in the service were selected for what was in THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS at that time very delicate work. The superin- tendents were appointed by the Postmaster- General on the recommendation of the Super- intendent of the Rallway Mall Service. he theory has been that the Superintendent heid his position during good 1 or during the pleasure of the Postmaster - General. The office is without term. Mr. Harlow was appointed in 1873 and has never been reappointed. The ap- pointment was not{ however, for life. A very determined effort was made to secure his re- moval onthe election of Mr. Oleveland to be President by applicants for the place, but his reputation was so good that the Postmaster- General refused to remove him. The friends of Mr. Harlow in Washington have been annoved by the circulation of re- orte designed to reflecton him. The latest # that HARLOW VOTED * in the last elec- ‘eit wiil will MR. for Cleveland and Thurman tion. Regarding this Mr. Hariow said: any man wants the lie direct I give it to hii if he make that statement in my presence. At the last election I voted a straight Repub- liean tickets. Ihad intesded to scratch sev- eral of the local candidates, but at the polls concluded not to do it. I have scratched Republicans, and I have voted for Democrats, Ishall do that whenever I choose, It think it ie a part of acitizen’s duty to vote for good men, and if he can’t find them on his own party’s ticket they may be on the other ticket. I'ma Republican, but nota ‘yellow dog’ Re- publican, Jam told that since my name has been mentioned in Washington there have been several stories of that sort circulated about me. One was that I hated colored men and managed to have every colored man removed from the office and secured Irishmen in their places. Another story was I had had _ Irish- Men disehamed that negroes might be ap- pointed. During this morning a stream of géntiemen wearing the Loyal Legion button was con- stantly running into the office of Superin- teadent of Malls. United States Marshal J. W. Emerson and Surveyor of the Port Jas. 0. Churchill were in the line. E. Semple, ney D. Wells, lators.

Postmaster Hyde sent Mr. Harlow a note of congratulation t evening. and supplemented it 4 ap words of warm commendation to thé blushing Su- perintendent’s face. . WHEN MR. HARLOW WAS TOLD thatthe President had nominated him to the Senate, he said: Now we must walt until the Senate confirms.’’ When Mr. Hyde was ap inted¢o be Post- master, Congress was notin session, and he pn the duties of the office on the pie authonty of the Presi- dent. t was some months before the Benate met and confirmed him in the office. Congress now being in session, Mr. Harlow cannot enter tne office until the nomination has been confirmed. Have you decided on any persons for the offices you have to fill?’’ % Not one. I have not considered the sub- ject, and have given no pledges. I have taken no applications under consideration.’’ FOR ASSISTANT POSTMASTER. Mr. Harlow, the new Postmaster, og ! have made a sélection for assistant, but if he has not he will probably be formally called upon to appoint George Bain, who came in as a compromise can- didate forthe place after Schuarte and the others had been tangled up in the contest. Mr. Bain’s friends on Change began to talk about the matter this morning, and while they did not know whether Mr. Bain would accept the position they thought it would be a very graceful action on the part of Mr. Harlow to offer it to him. As they look atit, the party owes Mr. Bain a debt which it should pay. He is now out of business, and has been eas to go into the export flour business, bav- ing delayed in it only on account of the pros- pects of his being appointed to a Government consular position. is contract with Fusz Bacher, which ran for several years, expired on January 1, so that he is new in position to accept such an appointment as the one re- ferred to. a A RITTER FIGHT is thus happily ended. For six months there has been a oontest for thé office going on at Washington, and for three months the struggle has been fierce. The principal can- didates were Chauncey I. Filley, who was in- dorsed by large numbers ot Republicans and supported by Congressman Niedrigg- haus, F. W. Schuarte supported by R. O. Kerens, G. W. Fishback supported by John B. Henderson, Charles E. Pearce supported by Oongressman Kinsey, Frank L. Ridgely sup- ewer by John T. Davis, Charles Parsons, aniel Catlin, John Holmes and many other prominent business men, Thomas Morrieon, indorsed by nearly every one who knew him, George Bain who had on Congressmen and many Exchange members, Eugene F. Weigel and a string of gentiemen whose names were not hear of after the first month. Rodney D. Wells, the Postmaster who pre- ceded Mr. Hyde, was a candidate, but with- drew early to take a business engagement in New York. Schuarte led up to the time an interview os- tensibly with him was printed in the Globe- Democrats He was represented as admitiing the supvression of evidence during the whisky ring trials. He denied the Interview ten days after its puvlication and after its ill- effects were noted by all his friends in Wash- ington. It was, after Mr. Schuarte’s name was prac- tically thrown out that Mr. Harlow's name was mentioned. George Bain’s backers got him very near the front, but Mr. Harlow’s strength grew rapidly and he won the race.

A New Trial Granted Kunze, the Little German—Judge McConnell’s Statement —Demeanor of the Other Prisoners on Being Sentenced—The Trip Last Night to the State Prison. * CurIcaGo, III., Jan. 18. — Attorney Wing made the argument on the motion of the oon - victed Cronin murderers for a new trial yes - terday morning in Judge McConnell’s court. The Judge announced his opinion in a few words, stating that he had already come to a conciusion in regard to the matter. He said he thought the men had had a fair trial and that the jury had acted on the evi- dence. In regard to Kunze, the jury had no right to be more positive than the witnesses who had not positively ntified him. An- Other reason for believing in his innocence was because the murder had grown out ot Irish potitics and Kunze had no connection with such. He granted the application of Kuntze for a new trial. Kunze thanked the Judge for the conces- sion. The Court then asked if the other prisoners had anytbing to eay. ; There was a moment’s suspense, and then Big Dan Coughlin rose and said in firm, dis tinct tones: Tour Honor, I am innocent. Lwas con- victed by perjurers.’’ O’Sullivan’s turn came next and his voice trembied slightly as he said: ‘*] have not much to say. I protest my in- nocence before God and man, and the time is not far distant when it will be shown. I was convicted by a prejudiced jury and perjured evidence. I do not ask for mercy. ask for justice. I have not had justice. Bourk stopped chewing gum long enough to Say: 41 am innocent. I always knew that in England they allow perjurers to go on the stand and convict an innocent man but I never knew it was done in America.’’ A moment’s silence followed, and then the Court said: ‘*Will the prisoners rise?“ The three men rose again, and the Court im- posed sentence ia the following words: „Following and confirming the verdict of the jury, the judgment of the Court is that you be taken to the penitentiary at Joliet and re confined for the ferm of your natural ives,’’ Coughlin and Bourk heard the words with- out losing the command of their feelings, but O’Sullivan’s lips quivered and his face had a worn, pinched expression. The defense were granted sixty days to file a bill of exceptions. It was announced that Lawyers Forrest, Donahoe and Wing nad been retained to take the case to the Supreme Court to the March term. Lawyer Forrest asked that the usual stay of execution until a supersedeas could be se- cured be granted, and by that request pre- cipitated a heated debate, the State’s Attor- ney protesting vigorously, and demanding that the prisoners be sent at once to Joliet. The Judge said he would consult with the other Judges whether to send the prisoners to the penitentiary at once or not. Kunze was then admitted to ball in the sum of $5,000. The State’s Attorney opposed the motion for bail, and subsequentiv contended for $20,000. Judge McOonnell, however, did not coincide, and explained that he would have discharged Kunze if there were no new evidence against him, Dut the State’s Attor- ney had informed him there was some. Judge Longnecker intimated that if they let Kunze stay in jailafew days he might con- clude not to bring him to trial at all, but let him go. He promised to let the Court and counsel know this week, and accordingly no effort will be made to get Kunze out on bail in the meantime. Last night Sheriff Mataon took the three prisoners to Joliet prison. The newspaper men were the only ones who knew that they were going away, so their friends were not at thé depot. They arrived safe at Joliet, where they were assigned to cells. The Bridal Bulletin. The following marriage licenses were granted during the twenty-four hours ending at 3 b. m. to- day: Name.

The prelim insry work of the Census Bureau for the approaching publication is now being done, and Mri. F. R. Williams, a general agent of the bureau, arrived in the city this morning to meet the representative St. Louis manufacturers in conference. The meeting was held shortly after 3 o’clock this afternoon, at the reaa- ing room of the Merchants’ Ex- change. Mr. Williams has with him the suggestions of the Census Bureau as to questions which should be asked in gathering manufacturing statistics, and the object of the conference was to give St. Louis manufacturers opportunity to add to or amend these ques- tions. The bureau’s officers desire to make this part of the work as complete as possible, and recognizing the growth of manufacturing here they are especially anxious to secure the ideas of St. Louis manufacturers. The latter also are desirous of having such a compila- tion as willshowthe strength of this section in every detail. RAISED A ROW In an Attempt to Settle Disputed Board Bill and Accounts, Charlies Kastener claims that Jos. Wald vogel owes him $105for three months labor. Waldvogel claims an offset on account of thirty-five weeks unpaid board. Some time ago Kastener brought suit against Waldvogel before a Justice of the Peace and Was beaten when the case came to trial. Kastener did not like the way he had been treated in the court. On the night of January 3 he went to Waldvo- gel’s saloon at 816 South Second street and demanded an immediate settiement of his claim. He was accompanied by halt a dozen or his companions, who proceeded to run the place to suit themselves. Waldvogel firea two shots intothe floor to attract attention and when the officer came be had Kastener placed under arrest. A complaint for dis- turbing the peace was preferred against him. The case came up in the First District Police Court this morning. Judge Cady heard the evidence and assessed a fine of aud costs against Kastener. Surveying tne Reservation. The United States Reservation, comprising’ the batracks, magazine and National Oeme- tery, is being surveyed for the purpose of establishing a boundary line. City Surveyor Capt. Jones is doing the surveying. It was found this morning that no less than a dozen squatters were ao ing government property the magazine depot. These squatters willbe forced to move. Henry Meyers, who runs a saloon near the gunpowder depot, is said to be on government property, as is also the Donnelly family and several others who reside on the Barracks road. Numerous residents reside on the Barracks road, near the Barracks, and who have built dwellings for their own use are very much excited over the survey, fearing that perhaps they, too, wiil be forced to vacate the premises on which they now reside. 4 Gone West.

Startling Expose of the Condition of the Midland Accident Insurance Co. Ite Affidavits of Paid-Up Capital Stock False and Fraudulent. oe The Company, of Which Ex- Gov. T. T. Orit- tenden Is President, Proved by Insurance Commissioner Ellerbe to Be a Bubbie— Its Liabilities Are $15,000 and Its Assets Only a Lot of Bad becurities—Up te This Time It Has Been Discovered That $56,500 of the Capital Stock Sworn To as Paid In Has Never Been Paid—Its License Revoked— Who Is Responsible fer the Statements Filed? One of the biggest insurance frauds ever Drought to light in the State has just been dis- covered by the Insurance Department. The responsibility for it has not yet been placed. The name of the company isthe Midland Ac- cident Insurance Co. of Kansas City, and its President is ex-Gov,. Thomas =. Crittenden. Some of the other officers are well known in Kansas City. For arly a week past In- surance Commissio} & Ellerbe has had his attorneys, Mesers. H- City investigating pany, d on Mot he went up to thé city at the outh of the Kaw himself. This morning the telegraph con- tained a brief announcement that the exami- nation into the company’s affairs had led the Insurance Commissioner to revoke its license todo business. Suspecting that behind this simple statement there was possibly a fraud of no little proportions, a PoOsT-DISPATCH re- porter called upon Mr. Alfred Carr, the former Insurance Commissioner, to obtain some information in re- gard to the company, its license baving been issued during his incumbency of the Insur- ‘ance Commissioner’s office. Mr. Carr sald that he had seen the telegraphic snnounce- ment that the company’s heense had been re- voked, but he knew nothing of the cause. He suspected that. it might be due to the fact that they were unable to to operate on account of poor business. When asked whether he believed that the company had been solid, he said that all he knew was the representations that had been made in order that the license might be secured. The law required that any corporation applying for a ligense to do an insurance business must have a paid up capital stock of $100,000. The Midland Co. had certified to a capital stock, all paq up, of $125,000. Mr. Carr had not been satisfied, how- ever, with the sworn statements of the offi- cers, but had sent to the cashier of the National Exchange Bank of Kansas City, J. BS. Warden, for an affidavit that the money was on deposit tnere as sworn to by the of- ficersofthecompany. He received a sworn statement from Warden thatthe amount of the company’s capital stock was on deposit in the bank and he thereupon issued the license, all the provisions of the law haying been complied with. These affidavits, Mr. Carr said, wereon file in the Insurance Commis- sioner’s office and could be obtained. THK FRAUD BROUGHT TO LIGHT. A call was made at the Insurance Com- missioner’s office, and it was learned that Mr. Ellerbe, the Commissioner, had returned this morning from Kansas Oity, where he had been investigating the com- pany. When Mr. Ellerbe was seen and asked why he had decided to revoke the company’s charter, he said that he had done so because from a partial report made to him by his at- torneys and m his own examinations he had become convinced thatthe company was hopelessly insolvent. He was asked how this came about, and told the following story: „„The Midland Accident Insurance Co., he said. was organized in February, 1889. After the nécessary steps had been taken to secure ite charter it 4 asis required by law, for a license to do business under this * — ment. The then Superintendent, Mr. Alfred Carr, had ite charter examined, found that it was in compliance with the law, and that the company purported to have a paid up capital stock of $125,000. Before au - thorizing the Ker to do business Mr. Carr wrote to Mr. C. D. Lucas, the manager of the company, requesting sworn statements from the officers as to the amount of the cap- ital stock that had been paid in, and also an affidavit from the cashier of the bankin which it wason deposit, certifying to thatfact. He receiveda reply from Mr. Lucas inclosing those affidavits, and speakin very hopefully of the company’s prospects.’ Can lsee those affidavite?’’ asked the re- rter. They area matter of public record, an- swered Mr. Ellerbe, and he took the mout of his desk and handed them over. Copies were made of the affidavits and also of the letter from Mr. Lucas which accompanied them. They are as follows: LUCAS’ LETTER. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 16, 1889. Hon.

I sent up my attorneys, Messrs. Hereford and Hicks to Kansas City for the | pooh wan of makinga thorough examination of the company’s affairs and reporting to me. Their investigations were so fruitful that in a partial report sent me Saturday I determined to go up to Kansas City my: elf, and I left Monday night. When Igotupthere the examination was still un- completed, and was not finished, I suppose, until to-day. Butenough had been ascertained to show that the company was hopelessly insolvent, and I. accordingly revoked its charter to do business. The fact is that the capital stock was never actually paid up ac- cording to law. We learned positively that at least $56,500 of it had never been subscribed for and paid in.“ „How about Gov. Crittenden’s affidavit as President of the company that the stock had all been subscribed and paid in?’’ did not see Gov. Crittenden myself, but my attorneys did, and from what they learned through their investigations and from the Governor himself, they and I myself am con- vincoed that the Governor was guilty of no more than negligence. He was only nominally the President of the company. He never discharged the duties of the office and never received any money for act- ing as President. Itappears asif he simply allowed his name to be used. He had not the slightest idea but what the company wasina flourishing condition until made acquainted with the real state of affairs by my attorneys, and the news has troubled him greatly.“ How came he to make an affidayit that the company’s capital stock was all paid in if he was so ignorant of its affairs?’’ ‘*He took for grapted the statements made to him by Warden. „Warden then isthe man on whom the principal responsibility for the matter rests?’’ ‘‘Itappears so. He seems to have been at the head of the whole scheme.’’ Was he examined by you?“ „Tes; we took his deposition yesterday. „Did he make any damaging admissions?’’ „Well, yes. What were they?“ „Well, one was in regard to a $35,000 ‘cash item’ in the accounts of the bank. It appears that he undertcok to place most of the stock. For $35.000 worth of it he secured notes, which he purported to have discounted and turned into the bank. When the bank examiner came along and found this out, he reported it to the Comptroller of the Treasury, who objected to the notes being included in the cashier’s statement. Shortly after that Mr. Warden ‘resigned’ and as far asIcan learn has since been principally engaged as a promoter of corporations.’’ „Was any ofthe company’s stock actually paid iu?“ „Oh, yes. A Mr. Roberts of this city sub- scribed for $5,000 worth of the stock and paid in his money. Some other St. Louisans had also subscribed for stock and put up their money. How much of the capital stock was really paid in?“ ‘*Thatl can’t say, as theexamination had not been completed when I left Kansas City. Fifty-six thousand five hundred doliars, we know, however, was not subscribed and paid up in good faith as the law requires. What are the liabilities of the company?’’ Not more than $15,000. Of that amount $5,000 is an unpaid policy upon the life of Todd Hines of Kansas City. Are any of the losses sustained dy St. Louis persons?’’ No, none at all.’’ 1 Do you 133 to proceed against the officers and directors of the company? Well, that depends. My attorneys are holding a consultation with the directors of the company to-day, and I have authorized them to agree to allow the company to wind up its own affairs, providing they will make good their liabilities, which are about $15,000. If they do not agree to do thisI will ask for the appointment ofa re- ceiver and a multiplicity of suits will be be- un.

CAN BE IMPRISONED. The Court of Appeals Kemands a Lettery- Tioket Seller to the City Jail. The Court of Appeals has refused to deliver Samuel Alexander, the lottery-ticket vender, from the hands of the City Jail. Robert M. Goode applied tothe Courtof Appeals for a writ of habeas corpus for Alexander, saying he was unlawfully restrained of his liberty by Jailor Callhan. Alexander had been tried and found guilty of selling lottery tickets and was severely fined. He failed to pay the fine and was imprisoned. Mr. Goode claims the statutes do not give the power to the Court of Criminal Correction to throw a man In jail for failure to pay a fine the same court imposed. He held that the Legislature in passing the law of 1865, neglected or forgot to insert that clause, having fixed the penalty at ‘‘not more than $1,000.’’ Ifthe defendant was not worth the amountof the finethe court could not collect it nor could it bold the defendant and punish him in any way. The Court of Appeals took a different view of the matter and said that ifthe statute under which Alexander was convicted was faulty or not complete he could be reached bv the other statutes. A decision on the case is expected next Tuesday. Alexander was remanded to the custody of the jailer. „% As Most Do, And few will speak evil of thee.’’ Most people will take in the great remnant sales to-morrow that are advertised in to-day’s POST-DISPATCH.

LONDON, Jan. 15.—The testimony before the Congressional Committee on Ways and Means is followed with great interest by European Manufacturers. A slight increase of the tariff on many lines of goods means a cessation of exportation, and the almost unanimous recommendation of the witnesses that duties should be made hizher fills Continental jobbers and manu- facturs with consternation. They say that, owing to the strict interpretation of the laws by the United States Consuls in Europe and the endless squabbie about invoices, their business has been areatly damaged, and any additional burden placed upon it would prove ruinous to them. English exporters are more — having generally larger capital and growing outlets for their goods in the colonies, Dut the tin-plate workers are somewhat concerned over the reported richness of the tin mines in Dakota and the possibility of losing their best market.

It now transpires that the slection held last Saturday in School District No. 2 to decide the question of issuing bonds forthe purpose of building a new school-bouse was - legal. The law provides for a ten- days’ notice of such an . election and requires that written or printed notices be put up In public places at least that length of time previous to the day of election. A part of a dist ying within the corporate limits of ast St. Louls, and the Board of Election Com- missioners having control of electiong held in the city, the clerk of the board accordingly caused the notices to be ed required in that rtion 0. that is inside the posting ofthe notices in the outlyin of the district was left to the Schoo! Directors and it is claimed that those officials failed to comply with the statutes in that respect. The noti es werg not posted until the 2d inst., and the election was held on the lith. The reta will be canvassed in the County Court to-morrow, and it is ex- pected that Judge Hay will then order a new election. It is said, however, that this will cause nothing more serious than a delay in issuing the bonds, as the new election will doubtless result the same as the first. A press dispatch — Springfield states that Judge Allen of the United States District Court has given the Bank of North America of New York a judgment against the city of Kast St. Louis tor $20,000. Mayor Stephens stated this morning tha there was a big mistake in the figures, as the judgment amounts to only about . 000. t appears that during the Mc- Lean ad mipistration in East St. Louis, city serip to the amount of $5,000 was sold to Russell Hinckley, who was then doing a banking business in Belle- ville. This serip has never been boughtup by the city, but Russell Hinckley having since gone into bankruptcy, his assignee has held it pending the result of litigation. The Bank of North America had aclaim against Hinckley for $20,000, and to secure a part of the money attached the East St. Louis scrip. The matter having been decided by Judge Allen, the city will now be forced to pay the claim to the Bank of North America, but the amount, instead of being $20,000, is only $9,000, which is she aggregate of the face value of the scrip and interest.

The will nominates Messrs. Henry and Valentine Rhein as his executors without bond and bequeaths to them the sum of $300. There are several other clauses and bequests in the will,some of which are very peculiar. One requests that his will shall not be published, while another states that his body shall not be buried until an examination has been made * physician nor betore decomposition setsin.

The market reports of thé Post-Di1s- ParcH have recently been greatly ex- tended and improved, but they are still far from being what we expect to make them. To cover the varied and numerous quotations and transactions in every de- partment of trade with unerring accu- racy, and to add to the quotations the remarks, notes and explanations which give the reader a full understanding of the situation, requires the co-operation of many skilled experts. and the Post-Dis- PATCH desires to have its customers served only by the best talent available. Nevertheless our reports are in their present shape by far the best means of reaching customers ever offered to the trade of St. Louis. The best indorsement of such aciaim can come only from the trade itself, and we take great pleasure in printing to-day the following brief note,in which the well-known commis- sion house of F. C. TAxLOR & Co. informs its country shippers of its adoption of the PosrT-DisrATCH market reports: F. C. TAYLOR & CO., COMMISSION MERCHANTS, 208 & 210 N. Main St. Sr. Louis, Jan. 15, 1890.

Since BrRIcE has captured two of the three Democratic bolters and 1 eceived the seventy-six votes required to elect him on joint ballot, he probably has not the slightest fear that the Republican majori- ty in the Senate will declare him ineli- gible on account of the fact that his busi- ness office and his family residence are in New York City, and have been there con- tinuously for years past. The Senate will welcome BRICcE, as it has welcomed PAYNE, STANFORD and the San Francisco millionaires who have represented the rotten borough of Nevada, without questioning their elegi- bility, without investigating the scandals attending their election, and regardless of their nominal party connections. It knows how they hold together and vote together, regardless of party, on certain kinds of issues, and the tendency of the Senate is to exalt Plutocracyin prefer ence to Republicanism or Democracy either. The Senate holds that a millionaire able to own homes in two States can live in either of them and yet qualify himself to represent the other in the Senate by sim- ply sojourning in said State while he is buying its Legislature. That is the Sen- ate’s construction of the o titutional requirement that a Senator must be an “inhabitant” of the State when elected.” The fashion now is for Senators to have their winter palaces in Washington, their summer cottages at various watering places, and toinhabit the States they rep- resent at those times only when they are mending their political fences and heeling their political henchmen. — ——— 6 —— EXACTLY a majority of the members elected tothe Ohio Legislature voted for Brice when the two Houses balloted separately for Senator on Tuesday, and gave him the seventy-six votes needed to elect him on joint ballot. Only one of the three Democrativ bolters stood out against him and voted for NEAL, and only one Republican stood out against CHARLEY Foster and voted for HALSTEAD. The two old partners in law practice, railroad wrecking, speculation and practical“ politics, who at the beginning of their operations tossed a copper to decide which of them should turn Democrat for the benefit of the firm, had both parties in the Legislature wellin hand, and either of the two could doubtless have furnished the other enough votes from the opposite party to make up for a bolt in his own. — — — — THE School Board has decided by a vote of 18 to 5 that books for the four lower grades shall be bought by the board and given tothe pupils free from the begin- ning of the next school year. So far as this may enable. children’to attend the echools who otherwise could not, it will be a laudable measure. But so far as it may disable the board from furnishing ade- quate school room for children who could and would buy their own books, it may do more harm than good. It is certain that the school fund will be depleted to fur- nish free books to many children who will attend school very little after they get them. However, by good and careful management the board may be able to provide schoolroom and free books also. — . — — — Tür attempt of some outside news- papers to give the impression that St. Louis was destroyed by Sunday’s cyclone is hardly warranted by the facts, Four people were killed, but about 546,000 are still here. Several church éteeples, some chimneys and trees were blown down,and some houses were partly demolished or dameged, but the visitors to the city would have to search cafbtully to find traces of the storm. The big, solid,grow- tinues business in the old place. Mr. Love of Kansas City, who is a can- didate for Railroad Commissioner, thinks that the Board should be more active, or it will be abolished. Whether increased activity of the Board will save it from deeper condemnation than it now has de- pends on the kind of activity it displays. Greater activity in the interest of the peo- ple would be excellent, but greater ac- tivity in the interest of the railroads, the lobbyists and the machine politicians would be destructive of the Board and the party. Ex.-GOv. MOREHOUSE struck the right note when he remarked to a reporter of the Kansas City Times: I don’t much **fancy the rut the Democratic party has „got into in this State. If one crowd or ‘fone clique is to control the Democratic party in Missouri it is time to find it ‘fout.” So itis and quickly, too, before the same old clique runs the party in the same old rut to defeat, The Post-Dis- PATCH has been doing some interesting pointing out to the voters of the party re- cently.

The January Grand-jury of the Criminal Court made a partial report this morning and returned a number of jail indictments. It is clearing the decks for action, and in a short time it will go into the inves- tigation of the boodle stories with which the names ofa number of Councilmen and members of the House of Delegates have been connected. Already there is evidence enough in the possession of the Circuit Attorney to indicts at least one, and enough is avallable to secure indictments against a number of others who have been deeply implicated inthe boodling. There will be no difficulty about indicting those men. There are documents which are themselves SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT and witnesses who will swear to actual trans- actions which have come within their own knowledge, All these matters will be pre- sented to the Grand - jury as soon as it has con- cluded the ather work before it, and that that work is partly completed is shown by the return of the following indictments: The January Gfand-jury rendered à partial report this morning. As yet no consideration has been made of any but jailcases. This docket was thoroughiy cleared. Forty-nine true bills were returned and six bills ignored. No cases of any serious importance have been reported on. ames Jones, alias James Freeman, is in- dicted for murder in the second degree, On November 11 Jones cut Wilmot McElroy with a knife, the blade of which penetrated Me- Elroy’s heart and caused instant death. Both men were colored and fought over a woman. William Stein is indicted for assault to do great bodily harm. Stein, on November 18, cut one Frank Kennedy with a razor. John King, alias Bond, and Albert Finch- man are indicted for fraud and Albert Fuich- man for attempted fraud. Indictments for robvery in the first degree are returned against Joseph Anderson, m W. Horton, Daniel Mack, Clinton Moulton and Arthur McNawara. John Little is indicted for attempted bur- lary in the first degree, while indictments or burglary, first degree, and larceny are re- turned against August Strecher (3), Isaac Smith and Andrew Wright. ° INDICTMENTS FOR GRAND LARCENY are returned against Martin Cozner, William Metloe, Philo C. Black, John Murphy, James Martin, Minnie Sharp, Fanny Hale, August Strecher, George Tobin and William 1. Morgan. Indictmedts for burglary in the second de- ree and larceny were reported against/Will- am Coughlin, Daniel Coughlin, William Far- rell. Joseph Campbell, Charles Green, Chas.

Charles Scheinig, Peter Roedel, John George Williams (twe), John Sum- merfleld, James Harris, alias Williams Samuel Brauch, Zednicek, Bruce Blaine and Thomas French. In this long list the only cases of ahy note are those against Paul Bauten and August Strecher. As will be seen Bauten is indicted underfour counts of burglary and larceny. Bauten is known in police circles as the ‘*funeral thief ’’ He got this name through his manner of working, bis plan being to wait until the mem bers of a family had left a house vacant while away at the cemetery burying their dead. Then he would effect an entrance and carry away all portable efiects of any value. Over $200 in money and jewelry of the value of SI, 000 was recovered at the time of his arrest. Strecher was another wholesale thief. His woik was done principally during the day, bis plan being to eonceal himself in a house and robit while the mistress was in another part ot the house. He als» WORKED THE BOARDING- HOUSE racket with considerable success. Almost a wagonload of plunder was found in his rooms y his victims. Four cases are repogsged against him, three of which are for burglary, first degree, and one tor burglary in the second degree and larceny. Six cases were ignored. These are actions against Richard Wileon for murder in the second degree, Bud Doran for grand larceny, Robert Dougherty forassauitto «ill, Frank Hetzel for fraud and Renhold Thomas for bur- wlary in the second degree and larceny, M. McAvenney and Wiiliam Remmert for keeping a gambling house. Uson's case was a peculiar one. The de- fendant te a coal black negro, a cripple hav- ing lost one les in a steamboat accident. On August 12, 1888, he was the keeper of a craps game in the rear of a Levee barbershop. Fii- more Egan, a colored roustabout, quarreied with Wilson over 2cents, and Wilson had him put out. A few minutes later Egan returned with an open knife in his hand. Bystanders called to Wilson to look out. Wil- son told Egan to stand back but he continued to advance. Wilson then shot him in the head and he lived but a few hours. Five of the seven prisoners whose cases were ignored were inmates of the Jail, having been unable to secure the necessary amount ot bond. As soon as the report was returned Jailer Callaghan obtained an order from the court and released these men. FELLOW SERVANTS. A Decision by Judge Theyer on a Much Discussed Point. A new trial was granted the Chicago & Alton Railroad Co., defendant to an action brought by Joba Pike in the United States Circuit Court this morning. Pike was a watch- man at a bridge on the ©. 4 A. The track was being repaired and it was hig business to make frequent trips across the bridge to see that the track was in good condition. While making one of these trips he was caught on the bridge by a passenger locomotive and thrown a great digtance, so his petition states, and it also sets up permanent injuries as ground for a claim for damages. The jury found the facts to be as the plaintiff claimed, and gave damages in the sum of $4,500. Judge Thayer, in granting a new trial, disagrees with the jury as to the facts and rules on that ground. Hesaidto support the verdict of the jury would be to charge the engineer and firemen of the train with perjury. Tu testified that Pike was the bridge when struck, was sitting near track at the eastern end of the bridge and was struck by the locomotive’s bumpers. No marks, bruises or wounds were found on Pike’s body except his head. But the Judge, in hig opinion, discussed a more interesting question than the contest over facts. The rallway com- pany contended that Pike was not en- titled to recover even if negligence was shown on the part of the engineer, as the engineer and watchman were fellow-servants, and the company was not responsible for their negli- gence toward each other, Whether or no they were fellow-servants is discussed at some length. Judge Thayerfound no decision of the Supreme Court to guide 22 The Missou Supreme Court decided ina a case of 4a section boss run oye: in consequence of the negligence ot an engineer that the section boss and engineer re not fellow servants.

In the pariors of the Lindell yesterday after- noon the annual exercises of the Woman’s Humane Society of Missouri were held. Mrs. T. G. Comstock, the President, made an ad- dress, followed by a talk from Mr. Wm. H. Mayo, an honorary member, who congratu- lated the ladies upon -the success of their undertaking. The Treasurer’s re showed a balance of about $800. Mrs. Mery Le Caffery also made a few appropriate remarks, The officers chosen for the year were: G.

The address of Mrs. Tudor Brook, the re- tiring Secretary, was next read and proved a very interesting document. She began by stating that the society during the past year, the second of its existence, had done such good work that its name nad become a house- hold word throughout the country. In the past year, she stated that the society had maintained a paid agent. @ proof of the good work t be done she -sitel the fact that out of eighty-two cases he had brought, only two had been dis- missed, and in these cases the witnesses failed to appear. This showed that Agent Williams was very careful not to bring a pros- ecution where the facts did not warrant it. Forty-four regular meetings had been held during the year. Among the most noteble papers read at these were: ‘‘The Uses and Abuses of Animais,’’ by Mrs. O. A. Cavan; ‘Cruelty in the Suburbs,’’ by Mrs. J. W. Allen; An Appeal for Eadowment, by Mrs. Albert Todd (the first President); The Death of Henry Bergh,’’ by Mrs. N. Gause. „Reason inthe Lower Animals,’’ by Miss M. E. Garvey; ‘‘The Destruction of American Birds for u Purposes,’’ by Mrs. J. O. Renshaw, and ‘*Cruelty to Animals From a 1 Standpoint,’’ by Mrs. O. A. Gibbs, The Secretary went on to state that the ex- hibit of the Woman’s Humane Society was one ofthe most important educational feat- ures of the St. Louis Exposition, that large amounts of literature were then distributed. She averred that one of the greatest monu- ments to the work of the society was the law enacted by the last State Legislature for the protection of children. Special thanks were given to State Senators Sparks and Shaw for the ald they gave the ladies of the society in passing the bill. During the year two members died, Mise Laura Anderson and Mr. John E. Vogel anda appropriate tribute was paid to them by the Secretary. RECOMENDATIONS. The Secretary closed her report with some recommendations for work tobe done during the ensuing * Among the reforms the society should strive for were, more adequate laws for protection of children and dumb an- imale, legisiation against vivisection, ‘‘the most atrocious and n of all cruel- tles,“ an abattoir of the merciful killing of animals, a free dispensary for disabled ani- mals whose owners are unable to pay for aid, systematic humane teachings in the schools, and a Child's Humane Society in every ward inthe city.

The West Virginia Legislature Meets to Set- tle the Gubernatorial Centest. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Jan. 15.—The Legis: lature convened at noon to-day to decide the Gubernatorial contest. Judge Fleming and Gen. Goff are both here and politely but firmly decline to be interviewed, although both seem to be hopeful, . Three Republican Sen- ators are absent on account of sick- ness, as is also one member of the House, and two Democratic members have not yet arrived, leaving a Democratic major- ity of three og joint ballot as the matter stands, butit is understood that the Demo- erats are not 1 to push the matter at this time. No Democratic conference was held last night and itis understood that no definite plan of action has yet been decided upon by either side. The general impression is that the session willbe long and interest- ing, resulting in the seating of Fleming, but this is not considered absolutely certain by his friends. FIFTY TO FIFTY.

Glass in Every Department—Mr. Craw- and Franklin ave- nue, was visited by fire this morning and badly dam- aged in all depart- ments. It was about 5:30 o’ clock when Watchman Gunn noticed a blaze in the third poy story, under the root. about as big 7 as a man’s band. ord He turned in an Ty alarm as quickly as possible, and then endeavored to get at the blaze with a fire extin- guisher, but could not do so. In five minates, he said, the roof was all ina blaze. The Fire Department responded promptly and soon had the fre completely under control. The Saivage Corps was also on hand in a few sec- onds, and got to work immediately covering the goods with tarpaulins. The fire at that time threatened to be the most serious experienced in St. Louis for months, but through the efforts of the fremen und the Salvage Corpsthe damage was greatly less- ened. Mr. Crawford when seen this morning said he could not give THE EXACT Loss, as he could not arrive at the extent of the damage. The third story was badly gutted, while on the second floor the goods, cloaks, suits, house furnishings, Ste., were badly damaged by water, broken glass, wood, etc. On the first floor goods were covered with water and broken glass. The heavy skylights coming down there had really done more dam- age on this floor than bad been caused nearer the origin of the fire. The loss,’’ said Mr. Crawford, is estima- ted all the way from $50,000 to 25, 000, but I cannot make an exact estimate of it. The insurance, I presume, isin the neighborhood of $275,000. Our reserve stock was also dam- aged. The goods damaged include the finest made suits, house furnishings, bric-a-brac, silxs, laces, books, towels, linen goods, jewelry and many otherthings. The jewelry loss is heavy. The bric-a-brac is also Peaty depreciatedin value.

HE Missouri Press As- sociation, which is to meet here onthe 23d and 24th ofthis month, is going to have a business meeting, and all levity will be ex- cluded. The Missouri Press Association is one of the most inter- esting organizations inthe West. Its cus- ) tom has been to meet once a year in the different cities throughout the State and give the untutored native an idea of what a full-grown press association ‘was, but its present President, Mr. E. W. Stephens of the Columbia Herald, says there is work to be done, and as there is buta slim chance of work getting the upper hand of excursions, banquets, dinners and cele- brations at the summer meeting, he has determined to call a winter meet- ing for work, the other for play. This winter meeting willbe held here and every member of the association is com- ing with his mind made up to work. The programme which has been laid out for them E. V. Stephens. will keep them pretty busy during the two Gays they willbe here. There are papers to be read, and thenthe association has got to load its guns for the next Legislature. The country papers do not getas much advertis- ing as they can print and they think it would be a good plan if alaw was passed requiring all the bills introduced into the Legislature to be printed inali the papers of the State. Such a law would be avery profitable one to the newspapers, and itis a question whether it would not be ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE PEOPLE. Bilis are often run through the Legislature almost before they are known to have been introduced, and then,too,nine persons out of ten who live in the State do not read and have never read the laws under which they live, but if the proposed laws were all printed the people would become more familiar with them and the result would be beneficial to every one. That is the way the Press Asso- ciation looks at it, and at the next session of the Legislature such a bill will be introduced. At this meeting of the association tne Legisla- tive Committee will probable be instructed to have the bill prepared and submitit for ap- proval to the next meeting of the assgociatton in June. \ The programme prepared for the session an interesting one. The papers which will be read are as follows: af The Editorial Department—R. M. Yost, Jeff: erson City. Advertising—John A. Kuott, Hanpival ournal, Subscription—R. B. Speed, Nevada Mail.

Tne Missouri Press Association is an organ ization with which the public generally is not very well epgentntecr but it is one of the most interesting bodies in the State, and on its rolls are the names of some of the most bril- liant men Missouri has brought forth.

ITS FIRST MEETING was held in the old Temperance Hall on Ninth street and Washington avenue, May 17, 1867, and the meeting was called to order by N. T. Doane, editor of the Trenton Republican News.

Draper ot the Dan- ville Star a committee on permanent or: ganization was appointed, and it reported a constitution and by-laws, which were adopted, and after the reading of a few papers the association adjourned. At this meeting Mr. Dopt offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That it is the duty of the members of this association to use their best endeavois with the present General Assembly and, pend- ing the general election, to have candidates for Senators and Representatives maintain the present liberal and just rates for legal adver- ising, andto oppose the repeal of all laws — give aid and comfort to the counjry 58. te m THE OFFICERS | lected to serye for the ensuing year were: resident, J.

A Capias Issued for the Arrest of Joseph Diemel. CAICAGO, I., Jan. 15,—A capias for the ar- rest of Jos, Diemel was issued yesterday af- ternoon by Judges Gresham and Bunn, sitting together in the Federal Court, on the appli- cation of attorneys representing Jas. B. Ryer & Co. of New York, a creditor of R. Diemel Bros., for $14,991. No arrest was made. The capias was issued in an action on the case of Ryer & Co. against N Diemel for $15,000 dam - ages. The dewiand was madeon an affidavit filed by Kkyer & Co., stating that November 1, 1888, Jo-eph Diemel, as the agent of his firm, secured trom Ryer & Co. a line of credit for $15,000 and obtained . worth of goods on credit and for which the firm did not pay except by notes which have not been paid. Ryer & Co. said thatthe goods were obtained by fraudulent representations of Joseph Diemel that his firm’s assets were the liabilities only §$45,- account and bills pay- able. It was claimed that the information, as brought out by Attorney Mayer’s examination of the last two days, shows that this was a false statement, and Ryer & Co. claimed it was made for the purpose of getting the 82 without paying for them. The goods, It was Claimed, were afterwards stored in ware- houses or sold 25 per cent less than their cost price. The Federal Court required Kyer & Co, to give bond in $380,000, while the bond of Diemel was fixed at $29, 000. he New York creditors say they will keep Joseph shadowed „* arrest him as soon as they can legally 0 Bu. Each day brings to light more frauds in the Dieme! Bros, failure. All night long the cred- itors, lawyersand expert book-keepers were at work anda partial statement of the result wee made in Judge Collins’ court this morn- ng. We have discovered, Your Honor, said Attorney Mayer, that the insolvents, some time before the failure, took a number of pages from their ledger. Other pages with corresponding numbers were prepared and inserted in place of those removed These were smeared with coffee to give an appearance of age and use and were filed out so as to suit the exigencies of the case. We have the book-binder to testify that he replaced the pages removed by new ones. Mr. Mayer went on to say that be had discovered that January latter the of the firm had been hard at valuable machinery on cars. A carving ma- chine and fixtures valued in all at $18,000 had been thus taken from the store. He had also discovered that the firm had a kind ot agent in the person of John E. O' Meera, through whom they bad sold large quanti- ties of hard wood lumber and glass, of which they had purchased huge amounts in excess of what they bad ever needed in their business. Shortiy before the failure over 1,000 pieces of silk aud other plushes had been cut into short lengths for furniture, render ing the goods Valuelesas to the manufacturers. Receiver Helmer resigned bis position. Another charge is made against the Insolv- ents. It is said that since January tfley have shipped carloads of goods to a map named Wineman in Philadeiphia. Joseph Diemel was arrested this morning on the capias issued out of the Federal Court yes- terday, and was at once taken before Judge Gresham. There it was shown that he was under orders from the state Circuit Court to appear before a Master-in-Chancery and make answer concerning the same mat- ters. It 2 — therefore, that the de- tention of Dieme would, under the cirbum- stances, be in the nature of contempt of the rocess of the State Court, Diemel was re- eased from custody. THE RETAIL.

An awful spectacle. Doctors useless. Cure hopeless. Cured by Cuticura I am going to tell you of the extraordinary change your CUTICURA REMEDIES performed on me. About the Ist of April last I noticed some d pimples like ¢ particular woman coming out all over my body, but thought nothing of it until some time lateron, when it began to look like spots of mortar spotted on; and which came off in layers, accompanied with itching. I would scratch every night untl I was raw. then the next night the scales, being formed meanwhile. were scratched off again. In vain aid I consult all the doctors in the country, but without aid. After giving up all hopes of recovery, I happened to see an advertisement in the newspapers about your CUTICURA REMEDIES, and purchased them from my druggist, and obtained almost immediate relief. I began to notice that the scaly eruptions gradually dropped off and disap- peared one by one, and have been fully cured. I had the disease thirteen months before I pegan taking the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in four or five weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eczema and psoriasis, I recommended the CuTICURA REMEDIES to all ſu my vicinity, and I know of a great many who have taken them. and thank me for the knowledge of them, especialiy mothers who have babes with scaly — 9 tions on the r heads and bodies. I cannot express in words the thanks to you. My body was covered with scales, and I was an awful spectacle to behold. Now my skin is as clear as @ baby’s. GEO.

It is easy to tell why Mrs. Morton need give no thought to her costumes, as Worth is their composer. There is a seductive tale afloa that she has twenty that have never been taken from their wrappings, ten for carriage and day wearand ten regal reception robes. It is said the bill Worth rendered was $20,000, as he selected, planned, and made every one ofthem. One thousand doliars per gown dis- tances all competition in modeét Washineton, and Mrs. Morton will be the best ed as well as the handsomest woman in the Admin- istration. i .

The fashion which began in Lon“ don in the summer was quickly taken up on the other side of the Channel, and all through the autumn and early winter French women have deen wearing. tartan 7 gowns and cloaks, botb in wool for daytime and in silk or poplin forevening. This being the case, it was to be expected that the whim would cross the At- lantic, andthat American women should be interested in nothing so much as Scotland, having the names of all the clans at their fin- ger tips and recognizing instantly a difference in the shade of a color or the width of a stripe which to ordinary eyes would be quite imper- ceptible. The last and brightest novelty is the tartan cloak, and it is always amusing to see what an amount of attention one of these, with its broad blue and green plaids with narrow lines of white, rea or yellow, will attract on Broad- way or in any place of public gathering. Miss Field, who is a cousin of the Princess Bran- caccio and a tall blonde beauty, drew a crowd yesterday morning as she paused for a minute to look at a rare orchid ina florist’s window. She wore the Sutherland tartan, whose subdued shades are about as little ob- * In Plaids and Furs. trusive as those of any plaids now go0- ing, and the long, tight-fitting cos was cut and shaped to her slender figure ina manner which rendered the tartan almost graceful and becoming. A high Marie Stuart collar of beaver came up about her ears and formed a sort of vest in front, as well as cuffs and large pockets on the hips, these last being once again considered to give a great air of smartness to any costume. Miss Field is handsome, and so it is not perhaps astonish- ing that when she turned from the contempla- tion of the posy she found about thirty-nine people contemplating her, but the experience was not altogether agreeable, to judge from her sudden flush of hot color. Isabelle Urquhart has worn once or twice one of the handsomest of the tartan cloaks, made loose and plaited into the waist behind beneath along pointed hood. The gathered cloak is mounted on a yoke of velvet and falis in flat plaits over the ans. I noticed a very conspicuous tartan cloak with triple cape and coat sleeves in the dressing-room at one of yesterday’s receptions, and found my thoughts involuntarily wandering for half an hour afterward in an idle quest ot the one among the guests who should best harmonize with that environment. In time I discovered her, not, I confess, through any intuition of appropri- ateness, but beause the same tartan—the Mackenzie—appeared on her gown. But while the cloak was made entirely of the plaided material, the dress had a bodice of plain dark blue cloth, with cuffs and vest of the tartan. The vest was fastened by silver thistle buttons IN DIAMOND 8HAPE lain full skirt was crossed pictur- y a wide tartan scarf knotted loosely on one side. I wonder whyshe chose the Mackenzie, or what reason women who have no Scotch connections would asignfor pre- ferring one above another cian. ano the esquely The Mackenzie Tartan.

For the street I have seen a num of tar- tan gowns in poplins with tartan — to respond. very smart one stopped a Fifth avenue stage one morning and showed fur- ea boots as it wasciimbing in. Thecolors A New Tea Gown. were a new moss green piaid with blue and brown cross bars. The straight front and princesse back opened over a side-plaited skirt of dull rose poplin, edged with a woven bor- der of lynx fur. The bodice had a vest of rose velvet and was dra with a soft rose silk not wholly hidden under the short ket whose fronts had not not been closed in warmth of the winter day. A directory hat was worn of moss green velvet trimmed with pink ribbon and brown feathers. A well-known singer wore a costume which wasavery goodtype of another variety of plaid gown ata4o’clock a few days ago. The black and white plaid was laid in wide deep plaits at the back. The front was quite plain and slightly lifted to showa petticoat of Sul- tana red cloth. The bodice was a long basque of the plaided goodscut on the straight way, as was the skirt also. It was cut away on the hips and had a short slashed back, with folded fronts of ecru armure and plastron and revers of red velvet. Thesleeves were tightto the elbow, fhe upper part consisting of a jockey of ecrue silk puffed high uponthe shoulders and banded with fed velvet. The black felt hat was faced with velvet and trimmed with ECRU OSTRIOM TIPS. At some of the holiday gatherings in coun- houses a fine old clannish air was given to some families by having the little boy wear kilts in the plaids affectea by their mothers and briogiug out the small giris in silk sushes and handkerchiefs to correspond. One might have thought, if the whim were not a shade too eccentric, that the idea was to imitate the heads of houses in Scotiand, where this win- ter on allfestive occasions on. the estates both host and hostess appear to the tenantry wearing their own an. Some of the newest tartans are in neutral colors. A handsome one which I saw this morning was a rough gray cloth plaided in brown and a darker gray. It was eu with a petticoat of gray velvet, over whic fell long pieces of cloth at the back and on both sides, the velvet showing in front. The bodice had a velvet vest and the sleeves were of velvet from the shoulders to the elbows, where they were caught under long tight cuffs of cloth. This gown was made for a quiet, nun-lilge little woman, whose taste in her own soft colors is perfect, and who wears with it a long coat of gray cloth of artistic: cut, lined with pink broche and with ouffs and high collar of chinchilla. The costume is com- pleted by a‘‘Puritan cap’’ bonnet of gra velvet with a simple bordering of gold braid. Winter is a genial, cheery, social sort of time and furis the yery embodimentof com- fort and luxry. A WONDERFUL COAT worn bv one of the tallest of our young blonde beauties—by tha way, Isuppose you know that blondes making a high bid for su- premacy this season—fits like a glove, and is made of closely eurled black astrakhan fur, with huge collar and labels, warm enough to defy Siberian ts, loose front and a closely fitting vest of seal skin, the combination of these two strikingly different furs being the latest fad of the fashionables. The muff which goes with it is rather a large one, for the wise woman bears always in mind the picture by Le Brun, in the Louvre of the famous beauty of the Directory, who ig represented coquet- tishly hiding her laughing face in a large muff of bear skin. Nowandthen one sees some realiy pre hats and bonnets. A small toque is of reddis brown velvet, the crown covered with holly’ berries and leaves. Another is of Eiffel red velvet with a biack jet crown with loop of vel- vet in the middie. An original looking bat is of black velvet, with shirred lining of pale yellow crepe and trimmings of pale egal os- trich feathers. A tiny bonnet of dark green velvet is very daintily arranged with three careless clusters of dark violets and tbeir leaves. The small fur most successful things of Ata lady’s lunch on Monday a pretty little woman with bright Drunette coloring and ht brown eves was all in scariet when she. doffed her fur-trimmed coat. Une of those positive blondes on whom the ‘‘ Autocrat of the Breakfast Table“ holds forth, was ina pure gray, relieved by blue, a combination not one woman in a thousand ‘can venture on. But the prettiest tollet I have seen recently was a pale ee silk tea gown with pointed bodice, neck opened in a slight V, showing just a glimpse of whitethroat. The sleeves were high on the shoulders and tell back like pointed leaves from elbows, and a little silyer dagger was thrust through the hair. THE SPEED OF BIRDS. Railway Trains Limp Beside the Vulture and Swallow. From the January Forum. The vulture is said to fly at times at the rate of above one hundred miles an hour; the wild goose and the swallow, in their migrations, make ninety miles an hour, and the carrier pigeon has certainly flown long distances at rates of speed ranging from sixty up to eizhty miles an hour, and for many hours together. The common crow ordinarily, lounges across country at the rate of twenty. five miles an hour, the speed ofa railway train. Prof. ley finds that the power exerted the eagie iu full : fraction one-horse power. computes the power exerted flying 2,200 feet per minute, twen an hour nearly, at one two-hundredth ofa horse-power per pound, ornine and one- third horse-power for : 2 — yen eg Bony: equally « form e ng one ot twenty-five miles an beer, ae a - worattt at fitty “agen tr.

These losses were generally recovered, however, when the pressure was abated somewhat and many stocks were carried above the opening Prices. Sugar was the only strong feature, however, and it rose to 5°l% against 52% last evening. At 11 O clock the market was dull and steady at about open- ing ficures lu mos: of the list.

Whittaker’s ‘‘Churchman’s almanac’’ for 1890, just issued, contains the statistics of the Protestant Episcopal Chureh compiled from the latest parochial reports of the several dlo- ceses. There are fifty-one dioceses in the United States and sixteen missionary juris- dictions, with seventy-two bishops sand 8,986 prosts and deacons. The whole number of organized parishes ts %,080 and of missions 2,029. The number of priests ordained during the year was 120 and of dea- cons 129. The number of baptisms was 59,992 aud of confirmations 38,958, and the whole | number of communicants is elven at 470, There were 40,089 Sunday-school teachers and 875,349 scholars, and the grand total of tributions for church purposes was $11,483, These statistics are rather more ac than those of most of the denominations, at the same time they give an imperfect of the popular strength of the churon. parochial reports do not return the num of attendants or members of the congre- { gation, but only the actual communicants, generally adults, so that the number of com- munieants indicates a much jarger total ad- municants of the Protestant * in the United States was only 50, 416 of the population. In 1860 it twas 79 ne bas. 1860 it had increased to 1 600, one in 292. nl oroné in 214, and in 1870 to 220,000, or one In 178. In 1880 it was 844,789, or one in 178. 1880 it was 844,789, or one in 161. The ratio shown by the returns * 1888 is one in about 182. The six leading dioceses ate New York, which includes the city and eight neighbor- ing counties on the Hudson, wit com- municants; Pennsylvania, inoluding Phila deiphia and the four adjoining counties, with communicants; Maryland, which m- cludes the District of Colum ia, but not the Eastern shore, with 933,140 * Massachusetts, 25,879; Connecticut, 24,906 Rnode Isiand, 20,794. a the baste of ae population of 1880 these figures show that the eburch is relatively strongest in Connecticut, where there is one communicant to every 2 inhabitants. Pennsylvania comes next, with ons to about 83%, and in New York, Long Island and Maryland the ratio is one to 3, while in Massachusetts itis but one to, 72%. Some of the smaller dloceses would show a higher ratio, but these are the most im- portant. THE RIVERS.

Mrs. Mary Jones Taken to Edwardsville to Answer the Charges Against Her. Oonstable Allen of Edwardsville, III., came to St. Louis yesterday, To-day he will take back with him a prisoner in the per- gon of one Mary Jones, who is charged with burglary and larceny. Over a month ago a couple of police officersin the Fifth District came upon John aud Mary Jones ariving along one of the suburban roads in a rickety old wagon. There was a quan- tity of buggy harness in the wagon of which the couple could give no satisfactory @xpianation, Tbey were arrested on sus- icion. An investigation developed that the arness had been stolen the night before from the farm ofaiarmer near Edwardsville, III., and the tracks made by a woman’s foot, with marke of the dragged harness, were plainly discerned in a plowed field, which had to be crossed to reach the road. Jones was taken back to Edwardsville at once. The woman was about to be confined and was t to the Wemaiec Hospital. She is now the Mother of twins, which will probably betaken care of by the hospital authorities while Mrs. Jones is in jail. he couple appear to be yeritabie nomads, having no settled piace of abode.

A SMALL STOCK OF ANTHRACITE, Less Than One-Third as Much as Usual en Hand—The Situation in Chicago. The anthracite coal deaiers have within the last few days made specialinguries to deter- mine as near as possible the stock of hard coal inthecity. Theopinion is expressed that it will not exceed 18, Oo tons, and will certainly not go over 20,000. Three years ago at this time it was 50,000 tons at least, and last year it was also heavy. Then there was a good demand for it at $9.50 a ton, while now there is no demand, and consumers sre very well supplied. The price now is maintained at $s, but the dealers erally shade the price before they leave acus- tomer go out. In Culcago the situation is still worse. Thedocks there are crowded with coal and dealers are selling at anything in reason they can get. The St. Louis dealers who do a sbipping business have sbipped porgely from Chicago and in case ofa sudden and prolonged cold snap could buy of Chicago middiemen cheaper than at the mines, as the influence of the lakes not only made rates lower during the regular season, but has kept them down. In soft coal the stock is also very light, and with a decided cold wave there would probably be an approach to a famine in twenty-four hours, as dealers have ordered Very sparingly on account of the demurrage charges of the Car Service Association. A DESPERATE FIGHT. John MeGee Seriously Cut by Wm. Lee, a Young Celored Man. About lo’clock this morning Will Lee, a young colored man, met John McGee at the southeast corner of Sixth and Spruce street, and the two engaged ina quarrel over some trivial matter. They clinched and rolied to- gether into the street. McGee was on top and was belaboring his opponent vigorously when he drew a knife and cut him three times. Two of the wounds are in the left arm and one in the left side. Dr. Coryell dressed the in- juries and prounced the one in the side to be quite dangerous. McGee's friends called a carriage and had him re- moved to his home in East St. Louis. Lee was laced under arrest by Officert Tobin and anaher, and locked up at the Four Courts. He claimed that he acted in self-defense. A Warrant was sworn out charging him with as- Gault to kill. McGee isa railroad man, and single. PARIS has made the test And proved Guerin’s photos best.

BRADY GOT THERE. FREE BOOKS ADOPTED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD AT LAST NIGHT’S MEETING. The Programme Outlined in the ‘‘Post-Dis- patch” Carried Out Perfectly Thus far —The System to Be Inaugurated at the Opening ef the Next School Year—Row the Resolution Was Passed. Free books were adopted by the Schoo Board last night in accordance with the pro- gramme laid down by the Post-DIsPaToH. The majority report of the joint committee was handed in but it died an easy, painiess death. Then, as the Post-DIsPaTcH said he would, Macklin introduced a minority report in favor of free books. Nearly all the committees went back on their own report and supported the minority report which had been seconded by Brady. Free books were adopted by a vote of 16 to 5. The next thing to be done is for Brady to ful- filhis bond ana vote with the combine for re- organization. Notice of rgorganization will be given at the meeting next month, and the vote will betakenin March. If the combine hangs together the re-organization will be af- fected then, and the management of the schools will be in other hands. THE MEETING. Brady is the biggest mun in town to-day. After years of the most dogged persistence, he finally succeeded last night in scoringa victory in the School Board for his free books idea. His resolution was carried by a vote of 16to5. The time set for the inauguration of the new system is the beginning of the next scholastic year. The resolution adopted was as follows: Whereas, It is the sense of the School Board ofthe city of St. Louis that free education should include not only free school-houses, free furniture and free tuition, but also free books; therefore, be it 5 Resolved, That the School Board of the City of St. Louis will furnish books to be used by the pupils in the first, second,third and fourth grades inthe public schools free of charge; and be it further Resolved, Thatin order to reduce the ex- pense of furnishing free books to the mini- mum, that all pupils in the first four grades having in their possession the necessary books purchased before the adoption of this resolution be required to use the same until promotion to higher classes makes a change of books necessary. The opposition to the resolution was very weak. The principal objection urged was that the time was inopportune. Mr. Brady knocked out that objection by agreeing that the system should not be inaugurated until the beginning of the next school year. THE VOTE. The vote on the originul. resolution intro- duced by Mr. Brady ata former meeting was bronght about by a minority report from Mr. Macklin on the Joint Committee of Ways and Means and Supplies’ action in inserting the clause, ‘‘When the finances of the board will a. Mr. Macklin’s minority report was n favor of the resolution without the proviso advocated by the major- ity. He insisted on its adoption; the President said that as it involved the expend- iture of money it would have to go tw the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Macklin appealed from the ruling of the Chair and was sustained by a vote of 12 to 8. The minority report was then taken up on its merits. After a discussion in which only time worn objec- tions and no new ideas favorable to the prop- osition were brought out, Mr. Knight moved that the time for the inauguration of the free books system be definitely fixed and named the first school day in September. Mr. Mack- lin, on whose minority report the debate was upon, said: accept the amendment. Mr. Brady?’’ **Yes, I accept it, said Mr. Brady. After the amendment had been made a vote was taken on the resolution and resulted as follows: Ayes—Messrs. Richgrdson, Auler, Rogers, Macklin, Bollman, Brady, Relmier, Sheahan, Bartholdt, Knight, O'Connor, Cudmore, Kelly, Bosley, O’ Connell and McEntire, Noes—Messrs. Miller, Holmes, Trail, Dozier and Barstow. Do you, OTHER BUSINESS. Mr. Bartholdt introduced a resolution in favor of physical training in the schools. It was referred to the Course of Study Commit- tee. Mr. Macklin introduced a resolution for an addition tothe Blair school house, suita- ble for a kindergarten. Mr. Rogers introduced a resolution that membership in the Public Library be reduced to $1 a year for all under 18 years of age. Mr. O’Connor introduced a resolution advo- cating the rental ofa buiiding for an addition to the Pope school. A report of the Lands and Leasing and Wavs and Means Committees electing Messrs. Otto J. Wilhelmj, L. Bakerand Ernest Jannsen as three architects tosubmit plans for a new board building ata cost of $750 for each plan was amended by Mr. Rogers so as to provide for the appointment of Isaac Taylor as archi- tect and the payment of $250 for his plan, and was then adopted. Janitor O’Hearn’s cause was the case of an interesting debate. O’Hearn was the janitor of the Polytechuic Building and was dis- charged by the Building Committee. It was alleged by some that the discharge was for political reasons. The Bullding Committee reported in favor of his discharge, and Mr. Bosley moved that the report be not concurred in. Theroll was called, and the vote was atie. President Miller asked if the report was unanimous and, when told that it was, voted in favor of its adoption. When the question of allowing the Bullding Committee togoona junketing tour to St. Paulto inspect the Ruttan heating system was brought up a number of satirical remarks were indulged in, but permission was granted.

The Facilitiés Offered the Business and Mon- ey-Holding Public by the Trust Co. The St. Louis Trust Co., recently established in the Equitable Building by a number of prominent St. Louis gentlemen, is proving to be agreat success, as it was predicted it would be. It is the only organization in the city of- fering the advantages of asaving bank, re- celving deposits in amounts of S and above, and paying interest on $50 and over. It executes every kind of a deed of trust, and acts as trustee for railroads and in big corporation mortgages, certifying bonds, ete. It also acts as trustee under wilis, and in all cases where a trustee is needed. Then, too, it comes in as executor, guardian, curator, etc., becomes surety on bonds, guar- antees real estate tities, acts as financial agent for people who wantt to go away or who do not want to be botbered with their own business, takes care of bonds, stocks and notes, collects and remits interest or divi- Pdends or deposits the same on interest, acts as registrar and transfer agent for stocks and bonds, and performs every service that can be done under the law organ- izing such acompany. The field recognized by this law is a very broad one, and the com- pany is also epabied to extend fine facilities for investments. In taking care of bonds and stocks it performsan incalculable service, as it is difficult for men in active business to keep posted as to the time of calling bonds, coupons, etc. Its service as guardian, cura- tor or trustee for children, is also an im- ortant one. A man having money to leave or his children, and desiring to leuve it so that it cannot be frittered awav, either In ex- travagance or dissipation, has an agent in the Trust Co, that he could not possibly have in * friend or individual. In guaranteeing the title to real estate, it gives a security that cannot be obtained otherwise. In addition to examining the title, the purchaser has the guarantee of the company that the opinion of its legal rep- resentative is sound and in case of flaw being found at any time he has the company to pro- tect him.

IT., Jan. 15.—Peter Shultz, a young farmer living near here, was taken out of his house Monday night and beaten severely by twenty masked men-Some time ago he took charge of invalid two relatives, agree- ing to care for them if they turned over to him $1,350 and some land. He has used them cruelly and on Christmas one of the women died under circumstances whieh led to the belief that she had deen murdered. The Cor- oner’s jury decided that she had come to her death from natural causes, although the body was covered with cuts and bruises. The pun- ishment which was inflicted upon Schultz is considered well deserved. Ia the Presence of His Wife.

Two bottles, one of them con- taining alarge quantity of sweet spirits of niter and the other empty, were found near the bed on the floor. It is supposed that Vordtriede committed suicide.

By Telegravh tothe POST-DISPATCH. MONTREAL, Jan. 15.—Soolety in this city and ‘at Ottawa has been turned inside out by a sen- sational speech delivered here before the White Cross Society by Rev. Dr. Douglass, President of the Weslyan Methodist College. It was the most sweeping denunciatory ar- raignment of social leaders and public officials ever heard in Oanada. There were many ladies in the audience. After comparing Mon- treal with London, as desoribed by the editor of the Pall Mali Gazetie, he denounced the modern drama, Langtry in Camille“ and Patti in ‘‘La Traviata.’’ „Who is Oamille?’’ said he. An aban- doned woman, a social outcast. In the de- nouement of the play this social wreck is pre- sented in enamored dalliance with idle and reckless debauches. The drama is spiced with that infamy ofthe French language, the double entendre, full of all salacious sugges- tion, and then, vested in couleur de rose, we have the bitter finale of the so-called woman of pleasure in which the rubicund actress paints her face with white powder, arrays herself in white robes, reclines voluptuously on a couch, simulates the agonized gaspings of the consumptive, and in the Villain’s arms mimics the expiring groan— when lo, your dowager Duchesses of different parts of this city draw forth their perfumed handkerchiefs and wipe their weeping eyes over this burlesque of grim death itself. But thesesame Duchesses have no compassion, no tears for scores of Camilles that languish in the city hospitals. THE MODERN STAGE. It is time some should lift up their voices in our city against the influence of our modern stage, which Mrs. Kendal, the friend of our Queen, frankly admits is tainted from its center to its circumfer- ence, illustrated in herown playin our city. I impeach booksellers and news venders as at war with virtue. Look at the sons and daughters of most Christian families. What company do they keep? In the retirement of their room, in the silence of the midnight hour they companionate with the vagabonds and profligates and outcasts. Creations these, ofthe Braddons, the Ouidas and the Swin- burnes—all garnished with the splendor of descriptive diction, but still the product of the foulest minds of ourage. I impeach the moral sense of our city for its criminal indif- ference to the character ofits criminals, indif- erence tothe character of its public men. Look at the men that have been elected to our Couacil and civic chair. This city has elected men from whose homes virtue has fied, men who have sought to introduce the Ottoman seraglio into our country, men whose lives were a perpetual defiance ofthe seventh can- on of the decalogue. These men, whose im- morality is flared in the very face of heaven, have come forward again and again and have been elected and re-elected until it would seem as Vice itself in the city of Montreal were one of the credentials for high office. And look at the men that our City Council have appointed to official positions, com- panions of the fast, the dubious, the flashy; poker players set to catch gamblers; men in whose oftice isthe underground telegraph to signalize the bagnio when raids are to be made. Iimpeach some of the constituencies ofthe Dominion of an abnegation of moral discrimination in the representatives they have sentto Parliament. There are men at the very mention of whose names virtue biushes and modesty hides her head—men whose characters have been kicked around the hotels and the corridors of our houses of Parliament and then OVER THE LAND. **T tell those men who have won some little olitical succcess as members or ministers, ut who bear on their foreheads the apocalyp- tic mark of the beast—lI teli these highly hon- orabie members whom it may concern, yes, and all rouah- handed, and hit them square between the eyes, when I teilthem that their example and record is pestilential. The time is at hand when the Sir Charles Dilkes and the Hughes-Halletts of Canadian politics must retire before the scorn and aroused conscience ofthe electors of this land. We strike the tocsin and sound the knell of their political damnation. I impeach the class of so-called society men as at war with the sancity of the fumily—the wasted scions of wealth, the degraded sons of nig- gard fathers, your men that arise at ll, pay morning calls at 8 and dine it and wine it and cigar it and gamble it and dissipate it, and then at the midnight hour march out of their club-houses—those heart-breakers of homes— Isay, out of their club-houses or elsewhere, and drive east into darkness. The society man will lie, be willswindle, be will cheat at cards, he will forge, he will defalcate, he will smile in the face of a man as friend while he is wrecking his domestic honor, and, as I have known, he will drink the very wine that charity has donated for his dying wife and fll the bottle with water. WORSE THAN PIRATES. Tell me ot the Buccaneers of the Spanish Main; tell me ot the very men that gambied for the seamless coat of the crucified son of God. Iwould sooner trust innocence in the hands ofany or all of these men than with your sleek, oleaginous and polished scoun-. drels that float about in society, one of whom, on Beaver Hall Hill, under God’s sunlight, in response tothe inquiry for a registry office, conduoted a poor country girl to portals in- fernal, where she was only saved by the warning and compassion of the keeper, who had more mercy than the gilded fiend. There was never a pirate who sailed on the high seas, whose ultimatum was to walk the plank, that could equal the cruelty of these gentry that infest our streets. Sometime ago I had in my employ a comely and devout girl. Re- turning from a visit to a friend one evening, she was accosted by what proved to be one of your mustached advocates, who, with satantio gallantry, sought to decoy her into one of your town restaurants, from which, thank Heaven, she was saved, as the poor bir from the snare of the fowler. And where is the villlan who has wrought this rulnaticn? where? Welcomed into the salons of St. Denis and Sherbrook streets, whisking around the daughters of wealth in the revolting proximities and the semi nude indelicacies of the waltz and polka, fascinating the feminine heart like as the in- dect is fascinated by the devouring flame. Fascinating? yes, all the more because of the dark romance that is whispered about that ‘Charlie is a little fast, you know.’ Yes, by oath of eternal fealty, by protestations and perjury, he has wrought out the ruin of hum- ble innocence, and then cast the victim aside like the trampled rind of an orange out of which the sweetness has been pressed. This is the romance that floats about the balls and social parties of society concerning a man, a creature, a loathsome reptile, to be scorned, despised and ostracised. But, then, ye God- desses of society, the reptile is ‘eligible’ and bas money. THE CITY PASTOR, „What is the life of every city pastor? I do not speak of your dilletante gentry that prate about the clerical ype a and aesthetic society. What is the life ol every true pastor but a prolonged and agonized conflict with ever-revealing vice? There are men in our midst garbed with respectability, who, if I were to tell of their doings in the demi-monde halis of New York, in the alhambras and casinos of London, in the midst of the can-can r — of Paris; if I were to reveal how heir disguise and sham were pierced through and through, they would stand blanched with the 2 of Belshazzar when he saw the bandwriting on the wall, while their dishon- ored heads would be cruwned with reproach and hissing. ‘ m- ‘‘Thave thought of the poet's ap toe ee ‘the audience bythe denunciation and itis now the talk of the city.

A Bitter Controversy Over the Ownership of the Ground. Rv Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Jan. 15.—The tomb of Mary Washington, mother of George Wash- ington, and the plot of groundin which lies her body were brought into a court contro- versy here yesterday. The history of the case is as follows: George W.Sheppherd, one of the wealthiest citizens of the town, a few years ago acquired by purchase from Dr. B. 8. Herndon for $250 the plot of ground on which stands the unfinished monument that was com- menced to mark the spot where lies the body of Mary, the mother of George Washington. Colbert & Kirt ley, real estate dealers, saw a chance for speculation and they at once sought to improve upon it. They now claim that Sheppherd executed to them a sixty-day option of the property forthe sum of $2,500. Some time in February last Colbert & Kirtley advertised the property for sale, to be sold in Washington, D. C., March5, the day follow- ing the inauguration of President Harrison. They appealed in the advertisement to the men of the nation to come forward and take an interest in the sale, as Congress had failed to make the necessary appropriation to complete the same, which has been begged at their hands for the last twenty years, whereupon the newspapers of the country, from ocean to ocean, appeared with articles protesting in the most indignant terms against the idea of selling the grave of Mary, the mother of Gen. George Wasbing- ington. The people of this city held a mass- meeting and passed resolutions denouncing the sale of the grave. In that mect- ing Mr. Shepphera participated as a conspicuous character, denoune- ing the action of Colbert & Kirtley. After the meeting Colbert & Kirtley made a tender of a sum of money to Mr. Sheppherd for the property and demanded from him a deed for the same, saying they had sold the property for $20,000. Mr. Sheppherd declined to execute the deed, whereupon Colbert & Kirtley instituted two suits against him, one for libel, claiming $10,000 damages, and one for breach of contract, claiming $20,000 damages. The libel case came up before Judge McLaugh- lin yesterday upon a demurer. The Judge took the papers and directed the Sergeant to summon the jury for to-day. Great doubt is apprehended as to whethera jury can be obtained in this city to sit in the cases, so great has been the feeling. The women of the city heida mass meeting Mon- day evening and adopted resolutions as to raising funds to purchase the disputed grave and complete the monument to Mary Wash- ington’s memory. The cases will probably last ten days or more. FRIDAY IS REMNANT DAY, And the merchants will tell vou all about it in to-morrow’s (Thursday) Fosr- Dis- PATCH. GAVE PA THE SLIP. The*Elopemerst of Benton F. Busan and Kate Green. Ry Telegraph to the Post- DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 15.—Miss Kate Green, daughter of Thomas Green, owner and proprietor of Green’s Hotel, whose annual net income from the patronage of his hostelry is $75,000, went out for a walk with her sister and Miss Lena Kessner on Monday afternoon. Miss Kate’s walk ended at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New Tork, where she appeared in the evening as Mrs. Benton F. Bunn, having married the son of ex-Gov. Bunn of Idaho,in the meantime. The young lady’s sister and her companion had been given the 2 at Broad and Chestnut streets, where Miss Kate met young Bunn. He has long been her sweetheart, but was frowned upon by Mr. Green. When Mr. Green was told of the elopement by his remaining daughter he burst into tears, but when he re- celved confirmation of the marriage by wire he was comforted, but not fully reconciled. Miss Kate is pretty and has been kept carefully at school or under the eye of her father and step- mother, the present Mrs. Green, whois herself young and pretty. Mrs. Green declined to talk about the matter, but left for New York yesterday, pre- sumably to see the young people and forgive them. Papa Bunn takes the matter coolly and says that it’s all right sofar ashe is con- cerned. Couldn’t Be Seen. Py Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCRH. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Inquiry at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening elicited the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Bunn had retired and that they could not be seen.

FLORENCE HAD NO DOG, The Actor Pays His Compliments toa Hu- morous but Untruthful Hotel Man. The story that was circulated at the the Southern Hotel to the effect that w. J. Florence did not register at that hostelry be- cause he could not obtain accommodations fore a canine comrade, was, it appears, with- out foundation and — up as a joke on that comedian. r. Florence is an old friend of Maj. J. H. Chassaing of the Lindell, and has always stopped at that hotel. Although during their present season heand Jefferson have, as a rule, roomed. in the same house, Mr. Florence did not goto the Southern, but alighted at the Main Street Depot and proceeded at once to Lindell, where he occupied the rooms that have for years been placed at his disposal. The story was retailed with great gusto at the Southern, but was made out of whole cloth and was cir- culated as a joke on Florence by the members of his company, and as one on the Lindell by some of the employes of the South- ern, Mr. Florence makes the following de- nial, with hig compliments to the 228 at the hotel who invented the story and retalled it to the reporters: To the Editor of the Post- Disvatch: The article headed ‘‘An Unappreciated Canine’’ in your issue of yesterday has no foundation in fact dia not go to the Southern Hotel on my arrival here, but to m old quarters at the Lindell.

A Batch of Correspondence That Will Prob- ably Prove Fatal to the Claims of the Rivals of St. Louis—A Wisely Conducted Campaign—What the Committees Have Been Doing. HILE the Washington Celegation has been busy at the national capital the members of the different Worla’s Fair com- mittees have not been idle in this city, but have been laying plans and carrying them into effect, which will have an excellent influence in bringing before the House of Representatives in the strongest possible light the advantages of St. Louis and tne influences that are being exerted in favor of this city. EFFECTIVE PROSELYTIZING. The Committee on State Action have been carefully collecting the indorsements that have been received from different cities, counties and Boards of Trade throughout the country, and will send the letters to Wash- ington to be shown to the Congressmen. These indorsements, while they will not be without their effect in the Senate, are ex- pected to prove particularly efficacious in the House, as the names appended to the indorse- ments are those of men of political influence in the sections from which they come. The manner in which this committee man- aged its affairs has not received the recogni- tion that it has deserved. As soon as it was appointed, the members set to work to map out the country in the most thorough manner, and to take steps to secure indorsemencs where they were most needed. Circulars were sent to every Board of Trade in the country, but where it was known that no support could be obtained no great efforts were made to influence the merchants in favor of St. Lonis. In States and Congressional Districts, however, where the feeling was either one of indifference, or one favorable to this city, the committee did not content itself with sending circulars, but the members wrote a large number of personal letters to those with whom they were acquainted and requested their support for the World’s Fair. A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE. From the first a close alliance was formed between the Committee on State Action and the Committee, on Foreign Correspondence, and both have worked in unison. The plan laid out was at follows: Not only were the city and county officers and those of the different boards of trade addressed in their official capacity, but St. Louis business men who had connections with the States, cities and towns thatthe committee desired to influence were pressed into the service, and asked to lend their aid. This they did most effectually, writ- ing letters to all their correspondents, setting forth the advantages that would re- sult to the section in question from the loca- tion of the World's Fair in St. Louis and ask- ing their co-operation. The effect of this method of campaigning has been most excel- lent. Where favorable replies have not at once been received the gentlemen addressed have stated the general feeling in the com- munity of which they were part, the infiu- ences that were operating against St. Louis and the methods by which these influences could be counteracted. A WELL-PLANNED CAMPAIGN. The members of the St. Louis committees thus had a complete canvass of the doubtful States and districts, made not by casual vis- itors, but by those who were thoroughly familiar with the feeling of the communities for which they spoke. Steps were at once taken to strengthen the weak points in the St. Louis case, and to bring those who were either lukewarm or in favor of other cities over to the right side. The arguments advanced have in the great majority of cases proved effectual, and the Washington delegation will ina few days be able to confront Congressmen with a list of indorsements from the leading men in their own districts which it will difficult if not impossible for them to resist. The feeling in favor of St. Louis in many States has been to a great extent created sincethe Christmas recess, and a large number of Congressmen who are not inclined to champion the cause of St. Louis — be found. on ita side when the vote is taken.

By Telegranh to the POST-DISPATOER. OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 18.—It was reported yesterday that Lord Stanley has omitted the name of Mrs. Foster, the wife of Minister of Finance Foster, from the list of those who are invited to the Government house on the day of the opening of Parliament.

The trade and labor unions are discussing now the proposed strike which it is thought will be ordered on May I unless a demand for eight hours in gil departments of labor is ac- ceded to. Many of the trades now have in force the eight-hour rule, particularly the outside trades, such as stonemasons, brick- layers, oarpenters, etc., but there is a desire on the part of laboring men to have the rule enforced in all branches, hence the movement which contemplates the general demand for itallover the country. com- mittee of the Trades and Labor Union has called a meeting ot all the unions in the city to be held on Thursday evening next at 604 Market street, for the purpose of ascertaining just what trades do not now have eight hours and make preparation for active work.

WILL SIGN THE BILL, No Doubt as to What the Mayor Will Do With the Police Pay Ordinance. The members of the police force known as patrolmen can rest easy now with the assur- ance that the bill passed by the Assembly rais- ing their pay from $75 a month to $8.334¥a month will be signed by the Mayor. It is not customary for the Chlef Executive to announce in advance what his ac- tion on any =perticular measure will be, but in this instance circumstances are such that it can de with pro riety done. The Mayor is in Washington on World’s Fair business, and President Walbridge of the Council is acting Mayor; as President of the Council he voted for the police increase and could not well have acted in acontrary manner as Mayor. The only question in his mind was whether he ought to act on the bill or leave it to Mayor Noonan. His mind was set at rest on that question this morning when Secretary Douglass of the World’s Fair Committee delivered a message from Mayor Noonan to the effect that if he were here he would sign the bill and hoped that Mr. Wal- bridge would dothe same. 80 it is ‘practi- cally settled that the bill will be signed. It was ordered enrolled at the meeting of the House of Delegates last night and will be signed by the Speaker ofthe House and the President of the Council on next Friday.

Speculations as to the Object and Intent— Who Are the Incorperators—Gas for Fuel at Forty-five Cents a Thousand—Lights for Seventy-five Cents—The Bill as It Is at Present, There is a gas bill in the House of Delegates. It was introduced last night, and as aconse- quence of very recent,.experiences with gas matters, created no little interest among the members. With chargcteristic rapidity the House as individuals decided the bill a good one on general principles. There is at present more or less of mystery about the bill and there are several strange features in it. Who are the incorporators is one question which does not seem easy of answer. How are they going to make gas at the prices they mention in the blil when the prices are such as to strike terror into the soul of the gas men in power? What is the object of the bill? and other such questions are about. The guessers are at work trying to decide for themselves what is that bill for. Some even hint that it is another bluff at the Laclede with the purpose in the back ground of making the Dickie bird song. as Ed Butler put it. In some of ite teatures the bill is a good one, but much En- glish is wasted on agreements about how pipes shall be laid. In one section the incorporators condescendingly state that they will comply with existing city ordi- nances in the matter of laying pipes and making excavations. One of the incorpora- tors isa partner of J. Brooks Johnson of the Branham-Jobnson gas bill, and another is interested with him in some patent inven- tion. President Flad of the Board of Public Im- provements, says he does not see how they can build a plant and sell gas for 45 cents in the face of the opposition of the Laclede Co. The Dill is as follows: House bill No. 444, an ordinance granting to W. H. Stevenson, H. H. Merriok, A. W. Gifford, Willlam Walsh and A. H. Kingman and thelr associates and assigns, when in- corporated as a fuel gas company, the right to construct, equip and operate gas works in the city of St. Louis, and to occupy and lay pipes in the streets, alleys, lanes, avenues, and public grounds and spaces, for the distribu- tion of gas for domestic and industrial pur- poses, including light, heat and power, and prescribing the time, terms and conditions therefor and thereof. Be it ordained by the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louis as follows: Sec. The consent, permission and authority are hereby given and granted to, conferred upon and vested in W. U.

Pro- vided, however, that in computing the time herein no portion thereof during which said construction is prevented or delayed by legal injunction or restraining order of court shall be included. Sec. 8. Any temporary failures on the part of said grantees to perform any of the condi- tions of this ordinance, when such failure is caused by any unavoidable accident, shall not be considered as a forfeiture of the eens hereby granted, provided the same shail be 2 and repaired within reasonable time.

From the New York Sun. The Harvard University catalogue for the current academic year has just been issued. Between its crimson covers are more than 400 pages crowded full of information about the various departments of the grand old univer sity. The facts and figures tell of a Harvard greater and fairer than ever before, and pre- sage a further steady development as one of the grandest of the world's educational insti- tutions. The changes since the last annual record was issued are chiefly personal and in the line of increased accessions of the flower of American youth within the walls of the academic departments. The number of stu- dents in ali departments has swelled te the imposing total of 2,079, and the great corps of instructors now pumbers 217, besides preach- ers, proctors, curators and other officers. The division of students is as follows: In the colleze—Seniors, 278; juniors, 244; sopho- mores, 282; freshmen, 328; special students, 144; total, 1,271; inthe divinity school, 35; in the law school, 254; in the scientific school, 65; in the medical school, 290; in the dental school, 35; Bussey Institution, 2; in the school of veterinary medicine, 20; in the graduate department, 107. The various appointments of the University are carefully detailed with especial reference to making clear not only the routine af col- lege life and the requirements of students in various departments, but the expense of obtaining a college education. An interest- ing table is given which exhibits four scales of annual expenditure, clothing, washing and the eXpenses of the long vacation not being included. The estimates are as fol- lows: Very L. Moderate. Liberal. Liberal. 150 $150 $150 $150 25 35 45 61 22 175 10 50 1 304 45 50 25 150 $474 $622 $1,010 It is explained that the cost of board at the great dining hall of Memorial Hall, where meals are served at cost to such students as foin the association, will not exceed $4.25 a week. The Foxcroft Club, of a limited mem- bership of 100, boards its members at an ex- pense of $2.50 to $3.50 a week The faculty is evidently weil satisfied with the present method of regulating athletic — by means of a committee of members of the faculty, graduates of the college, and un- dergraduates. The regulations tramed — — committee now forbid the employment o n- authorized persons as trainers, and require intercollegiate aud other contests to be held at euch times and places as will cause least in- terference with study. No student is allowed to take part in athletic contests withouta physical examination by the Director ofthe gymnasium and his permission to do 80. No person who is not a student of some depart- mentof the university, in full and regular standing, is aliowed to take part in any athletic contest or exhibition. The com- mittee chooses its own officers and appoints a graduate treasurer, who ex- ercises supervision over the accounts of all athietic organizations usin uni- versity grounds or buildings. Additional facilities have recently been provided for athletic training. The recent gift of George W. Weld places at the disposition of the students a second boat- house intended chiefi for students not rowing in regular crews. It is about one-third of a mile from the college, and has accommodations for about three hundred students. The — hopes to make available eventually for athietic grounds a tract of about seventy acres of marsh land across the Charles River, about half a mile from the college, which was the gift of Henry W. Longfellow and some of his friends. There have been constant accessions to the funds provided for aiding students of limited resources, until the faculty is enabled to say that the experience of the past warrants the statement that good scholars of high charac- ter but slender means are very rarely obiiged to leave college for want of money. The re- sources of the college available for aiding stu- dents are endowed scholarships, beneficiary funds, and loan funds. Assoonas they have given proof of ability they can make private tutoring a source of considerabié income. Some students support themselves in part by writing for the public press; others by sing- ing or playing the organ in churebes. ans from private sources are not uncommon. This year the amount of ald which the college can assign to proper candidates will be about $45,- 000. The scholarships which may be assigned to undergraduates number 125, yielding in the aggregate $29,590. The annual income ot the scholarships averages about $250.’’ The President and fellows have been enabled by the recent bequest of E. Price Greenleaf to appropriate about $12,000 annually to reduce the general expenses of undergraduates of small pecuniary ability. This fund will be distributed in sums of $150 to $250, not only to students who have already proved their merit, but to freshmen. An interesting series of subjects is an- nounced for the competition for tne Bowdoin prizes. Amongthe topics named prize dissertations are these: ‘‘The Acting Drama of the Present Day Considered in Its Literary „ **A Life of Christopher Columbus, „The Causes and Motives of the Tuition Books and stat’ry Room Furnit’e Foard sec Fuel aud light....

CHARLEY Comiskey, Tip Neill, Jack Boyle and secretary Munson of the Browns returned home this morning from Cali- fornia.

Three of the men no played with the "fy Browns on the coast re- =. mained behind for a few They were La- Although —— —— — — — days. and O’Brien. 5 — tue club met with miserable weather dur - ‘mg their entire stay on the Pacific coast with the exception of a few days, they made money. The disagreeable weather seems to 1 have incorporated itself into O’ Neill’s const - tution, and the big left fielder was even more surly than usual this morning. He spoke with the same slowness and unwillingness with which he goes for a fly ball when in one of his favorite sulks on the field. Both O'Neill and Comiskey are looking well, but the wie and child of the latter are laid up with something which he believes to be la gtippe. Aside from a little uneasiness about them, the crack captain was in his usual pleasant and cheerful mood. He was told of the various reports that had been circulated concerning where he would play, and was asked whether he would be found next sea- son with the Browns or Chicago Brotherhood club. COMISKEY HOLDING OUT. have not yet made up my mind where 1 shall play next season, was his reply. I am holding off to see where I can do best. The club that makes me tae best offer is the one that will secure me. Ido not care whether that club be located in New York or Oshkosh. It is just the same to me where N so they pav me well. Mr. Von der Ahe, Mr. Spalding. Mr. Day or any- body else look out for their own interests and there is no reason why a player should not do the same thing. Of course, I am playing base bail tor pay and Iwill so wherelI can get most money. All things being equal, I will play with the best team. „By that I suppose you mean that you would play in Chicago in preference to St. Louls?“ No, Ido not know that I would. Of course, Chicago is my home, but I have always played in St. ulis and like this city.’’ It is claimed by Pfeffer, Baldwin and oth- ers that you will certainly play with the Chi- cago Brotherhood club next season and that they have your pledge to do so. Have you pledged yourself to any club?’’ *‘Thave not. Ward started that story about my going to Chicago and made capital out of it, but noclub has a binding promise from me. I may play with the Chicago Brother- hood Club or I may play iu St. Louis. It is a question of where I can do best. I have al- . whey worked hard forthe salary I received an ever, _ read the matter in the newspapers. no mrnager will want me after my use- fulness is past, so thatI am under no obliga- tion to stick to anybody when I can do bet- ter elsewhere. „ BOGUS INTERVIEWS. ‘*Interviews have been published with you in which you were quoted as stating that you would play with the Chicago Brotherhood club and other interviews in which you were represented as saying you would play in St. Louis. Were any of them correct?’’ ‘*They were not. You know lam not much given to talking to newspaper men I know, and I paid no attention to those reporters in those Western towns, refusing to talk to any ot them. Ihave not stated to any of them that I would play with any particular club. Statements were also made in the newspapers that I had telegraphed to the Brotherhood not to admit Von der Ahe. There Was no truth in the stories. Iwas very anx- fous to enter the Brotherbood with the Browns, as we could have made a barrel of money here. Those clubs would have drawn immensely.’’ **What do you think of the Brotherhood!“ „1 think the organization will bea great success, and my sympathies are with the movement. They have the players, and I think the men will hold together. Those men who have been guilty of signing two contracts have done about as contemptible an act as men can well do. And yet these men will be starred before the public. It is An outrage.’’ „„What truth is there in the statement that Mark Baldwin agreed to sign with the Chicago League Club for . 800?“ BALDWIN’S OFFER TO CHICAGO A JOKE. That was a joke. The agent of that club in the West was constantly annoying the men to sign and we were always guying him. One day Baldwin in a guy told him he would like to pitch against the Chicago Brotherhood team and would sign with Spalding for $4,800. Of course he knew and so did everybody else hat Spalding could not sign him, as he was under reserve to Columbus. It appears, how- that the agent did noé know it and telegraphed Spalding of Baldwin’s statement. We were § all surprised when we It was a foolish joke, asthe League made capital out ofitand it was calculated to make weak- kneed men jump the Brotherhood. We were playing jokes ofthat sort all the time, however, in Frisco as it wag raining con- Stantiy and there was nothing else to do. We sent one bogus telegram to Clarkson, telling him that Ward had jumped the Brotherhood, and another guy we worked was a telegram that Anson had signed to play fest base for the Pittsburg Brotherhood Club for $1,700.’’ How did you do on the trip?“ We made money, despite the bad weather. We could only play three days in three weeks in San Francisco, yet we took in on the trip something like $7,000, and livea like kings everywhere, and still came out something ahead. Munson managed that trip as I never saw one handled before. He is a remarkable man, and one of the smartest in the base ball business. There was never anything lack- ing, and he kept us on the go all the time. We visited every place of interest on the way outand hada royal good time, except that we encountered such bad weather on the Coast. There were four players in the team who were taken from other clubs, and they were immensely taken with Munson,who was a universal favorite with everybody on the trip.’’ Tip O'Neill stated that he bad signed a Ohicago Brotherhood contract and would play there. He did not know what Comiskey would do. They had cleared some money on the trip and enjoyed a pleasant time. retary Munson also stated that the trip Was a success financially, despite the fact that they only had those good days in three weeks in San ancisco. The club played wonderful ball ahd drew well wherever they exhibited. 2 Resigns.

He came down to see the Brown Stocking players who returned from California this morning. Boyle and O'Neill have already signed with the Chicago Broth- erhood Club and Brunell’s principal mission is believed to be to use his persuasive eloquence on Comiskey to get him to sign a Chicago Broth- erheod contract.

The entries forthe St. Louis Jockey Club Stakes closed to-day. Guneberg and Tschigorin played the eighth game of their series in the Havana chess contest vesterday andthe former won after three bours play and thirty moves. In San Francisco there is a belief that Weir permitted Murphy to whip him and it is claimed that they were betting $100 to $75 against the Spider in the pool-rooms during the fifth round, when it seemed im- possible for him to lose, he having his antag- Onist terribly beaten. Murphy's face pre- sented a terrible appearance yesterday, while Weir showed little signs of his fight. The Spider’s friends claim he was actually knocked out and say he did not train capes for the mill, having kept drunk nearly all the time. Weir wants another go at Murphy, bat while the Californians think h'm the cleverest man who has ever been seen there in a ring, they have little faith in his honesty.

Five Direct Generations Assembled to Do Honor to the Venerable Woman—Gray- Hatred Grandchildren Surround Her With Their Own Granchildren—Mrs. Mott’s Birth, Marriage and Life. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcn. New Tonk, Jan. 15.—A birthday party such as is seldom seen was gathered yesterday at the Mott homestead at New Hackensack, N. I., six miles back of Poughkeepsie. Five direct generations were assembled to do honor to Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mott, widow of George B. Mott. She was born January 14, 1790, thus rounding off yesterday a full oon - tury of life. Gray-haired grandchildren sur- rounded her, while their own grandcniidren prattled at her feet. Mrs. Mott’s 100th birth- day was celebrated atthe home of her son, Morgan T. Mott, whose famous stock farm at New Hackensack is known to lovers of horse flesh the country over. The venerable woman is still in possession of all ner faculties and greeted her descendants and guests witn feel- ings that the ‘‘boys’’ of 60 could not under stand. They cametosee herto the number of a hundred or more, and she held a recep- tion from 2o’clock inthe afternoon unt ls. She remembered and called by name relatives whom she had not seen for twenty years. She received the guests inthe handsome pariors of the house, which were literally banked with flowers. One large design bore the inscription **1790-1890,’’ and another noticeable piece con- sisted of a horseshoe of roses. Mrs. Mott sat in a chair over 100 years old, She was dressed in black silk and wore a lace cap which she wore inher younger days. Mrs. Mott was born in this city on Mulberry street, near Chatham, which at that time was one of the most aristocratic residence quarters in town. Her maiden name was Milton and her mother, Mary Cox, came of an old Knickbocker fam- ily. She has lived in or near New York City all her life. In 1808she was married to Geo. B. Mott, a widely known New Yorker, who held public office in his day. WASHINGTON HAD BEEN INAUGURATED but few months when she was born, so that her life bas been contemporary with the growth and development of the nation. The house in which the reception was held is even older than Mrs. Mott. It was built out of bricks brought from Holland in the good old days when solid logs were hewn into beams and timbers. Un a block of stone built into the wall is carved the date of ‘‘l772'’ when it was built by Dr. Steven Shorn. He sold it to a family of Delanceys and Mor- gan L. Mott bought it in 1858. The title deed has been in three names only. Both Shoru and Delancey were famous horsemen, and main- tained the place as a stock farm before Mr. Mott, so it comes rightfully by its reputation. Since Mr. Mott’s time pretty neariy all the most famous trotters in the country have been quartered, at least temporarily, in its barns, including the best of Commodore Van- Gerbiit’s and Robert Bonuer’s stock. Mr. Mott was hand and glove with the Commodore in turf matters. At times he has had as many as 100 horses on his farm, but of late years, on account of hig age, the number has been greatly reduced. Now there are twenty- eight. The celebrated stallion Independ- ent, sire of many speedy trotters, died only“ last week. He had belonged to Mr. Mott for many years. The old home- stead is a veritable storehouse of treasures of every description, Upon its walls hang many old and valuable Pane Among them is Stern’s portrait of Washington at the age of 21, addressing the chiefs of the Six Nations. This painting was stolen from the artist when half completed and returned to him in Paris ten years later. He finished it there and afterwards sold it to Mr. Mott. AN OLD ‘‘FORTY-NINER.’’ Morgan I. Mott is one of the foremost in the National Breeding Association and has been connected with every trotting association of rominence within a hundred miles of New (ork. He was one of the old ‘*Forty-niners,’’ and he wentto California as a partner with Dave Broderick, the man who was murdered by Judge Terry. Although only three years in California, he was Alderman and Acting Mayor of San Francisco for atime, was twice burned out of all his possessions, and still came back with a fortune. After his return he was for many years proprietor of the Hone House at Great Jones street and Broadway. At one time he was keeper of Blackwell’s Islaud and in 1854-56 was commis- sioner of street cleaning. During one of the winters he piled the snow up in the middle of Broadway. Fernando Wood was Mayor then and he ordered Commissioner Mott to cart it away. The latter refused, saying his appro- priation was not large enough. The incident created much excitement at the time. Soon afterwards he was accused of failing to o~ 4 erly clean the streets, whereupon he sub- mitted affidavits from all his subordinates showing that the work had been actually ac- complished. Then the cry was raised that Commissioner Mott cleaned the streets with affidavits.
