Execution of Harris Austin, the Chickasaw Outlaw, and Five Choctaw Fiends—The Men and Their Crimes— All of Them Make Confessions—Eighty-One Territo- rial Murderers Hanged at Fort Smith Since 1872—One Man Saved From the Gallows and Two Granted Respites. Fort &mM1TH, Ark., Jan. 16.—One Chickasaw and five Choctawse were hanged at noon to-day in the United States jail yard for murders committed in the Indian Territory. They bore the ordeal with much nerve, stand- ing on the scaffold fully twenty minutes while preparations were being made. The work, however, went with precision and dis- paten and when the fatal drop came there was uta slight groan from one of them, a gentie swing of six black bodies, not a twitchora shrug. All were dead in from three to six minutes and George Maledon,who had hanged seventy-five persons before, performed the work. THE MEN AND THEIR CRIMES. The hanging on the Federal galiows in this city to-day of six murderers adds another terribie chapter of retribution of crime in the Indian Territory and has increased the total pep ber of legal executions by the United tates Court for the Western District of Ar- kansas to eighty-one, and that sinte the ear 1872, when Jack Childers, a Cherokee, ad his neck broken for the murder of a white man. The same hand, that of Geo. Maledon, the hangman, who adjusted the noose and ee | the trap that sent the Cherokee to eternity to- day performed the same office for Harris Aus- tin, John Billy and Tom Willis, Sam Goen, oe Burris and Jefferson Jones. he crimes of these men and of all the eighty-one who have been hanged In Fort Smith by the Federal Court were com- mitted in the Indian Territy, many of them hundreds of miles from this city, but the frequent executtons in Fort Smith for which the city and State are in no way ac- countable have given both an ill name abroad among those who do nat know the reai facts. A federal execution here excites less interest in the city than it does abroad, and to-day a stranger would not have suspected that there Was anything unusual occurring in the eit, and yet the gallows are within a stone’s throw of a leading thoroughfare of the city. TO- DAY'S EXECUTIONB. There were several peculiar features con- nected with the first time an execution has occurred upon any other day thun Friday at this place; apon two occasions in recent years Judge Parker has unwittingly sen- tenced men to be haaged upon (Good Friday, and when ihe last occurred be determined to avoid any possibility of such a mistake and changed the day to Thursday. Another fact concerning this execution, showing how ift and terrible is the working of the law in the Indian Territory, where Judge Parker’s eourt has jurisdiction, is that with the one ex- ception of Harris Austin, the Chickasaw out- law, the crimes for which the men death to-day were committed within one year from the day they were sentenced, tbe Ist of November, 1889. Here were six men who committed murder in widely different parts of the Indian country, aud within one year breught to justice and sentenced tobe hanged. Their crimes were ailof the most brutal and cowuardiy nature and are on record among the most cruel and heartiess murders ever committed upon the crime-stained soil of the ‘*‘Beautiful Indian Territory.’’ In the whole number there was not one palllating circum- stance to excuse the crimes—they were all cold, cruel murders. It is also unusual to find such a per cent of the murders committed by Indians. Therecords of the West will show that four-fiiths of the murders committed in the Territory are by white men or negroes. Since their conviction ali of the men have made a confession of their crimes, have pro- fessed religion and were baptized in the jail. Lhefoi'owin: is in brief the history of their murders: HARRIS AUSTIN. It any one of the murders was more attro- cious and cruel than another it was that com- mitted on the 12th day of May, 1884, when the Chickasaw outiaw murdered in cold biood Tom Elliott, a white man. Elliott had never seen his murderer before that day, and the only cause for the crime was too much fire- water and a demoniacal race prejudice which incited the Chickasaw to do murder. Upon the day in question Austin, while ex- cited with whisky, met bis victim at a country store in the Chickasaw Nation, and without cause begun to abuse him. The Cnickasaw was avery large, ili favored looking fellow, und seeing he was dangerous and being un— armed Elliott thought best to pay no heed to him. ‘his seemed toinfuriate Austin who, after awhile, returned to where Elliott was sitting and drawing his pistol, exclaimed in Chicasaw, See me kill the dog of white man, and shot him down, then going te his fallen victim fired ball after ball into his head. Austin with his relatives then drove the witnesses to his erime out of the country and lived until his capture ina state of outiawry and with his band was a terror to the country he infested. He would probably never have been taken allve if he bad not been betrayed by a companion whom he had injured. A MURDEROUS TRIO, John Billyand Tom Willis with Madison James, fuil-blood Choctuws, were jointly tried and convicted of the murder of a whisky peddler, a white man named Benjamin Blair, whom they shot on April 1, 1889. The murder- ers were small, ill-fayored, brutal looking In- dians, the very lowest of their kind, utterly ignorant and stupid. Blair had met and given them a little whisky which was sufficient to raise a desire for more. To get it they murdered him and dividing his whisky, money and tobacco, burried him in ashallow grave. RKeturninyg in afew days tothe grave they found the body oftheir victim partly exposed. They dug it up, and making a fire of logs burnt it, and thus effectually destroyed all evidence of their crime, which would most likely have never been known if they had kept their mouths shut, but they telxed, and talking brought them seif-convicted to the gibbet. As telegraphed yesterday, Ja was commuted to fifteen years ment. Like all the rest, the murder for which Sam Goen and Jamison Burris paid the penalty wes devoid of unusual incident to exalt it out af the ordinary routine of crime. They were full- blood Choctaws and together with James Goen, a brother of Sam's, were tried for the murder of a white stockman named Houston Joyce. Their crime was committed on November 1, 1888. Before the trial Burris, who looks like an im- becile, confessed to the crime and declared that he committed it alone and unaided, but he was not believed. The evidence showed thatontheday the murder was committed Joyce was at Jim Goen’s house. The cupidity of the Indians was excited by the stockinan’s trappings,and when he left the house Sam Goen and Burris followed him about two miles and shot him from behind. Theythen took his effects and left him. Some ot the dead man’s things were found at Jim Goen’s house. He said that Sam and Burris had left them there, Allthree were arrested and upon the trial James Goen was acquitted, while his brother and Burris were’ sentenced to be hanged to-day. sentence — ONE MORE and the bloody story is told. This time the victim is a white-haired old man who, while passing across the Kiamischi Mountains, was shot in the back, robbed and his body left for the wolves to devour. His name was George Wilson and he lived somewhere inthe sout ern part of this State. Fora time his murder was a mystery. but at length sus- lotion was directed to three In- lane, Jefferson Jones, Jamison Jones and James Beams, The last two were acquitted and Jefferson Jones convicted on his — testimony. He confessed to having e mitted the crime and that he aid it to a ot the old man’s gun and $5 he had in his pocket. He told ee itwasdone. He, with the others, cam oppo the old man in the woods, and whil back was turned he shot him. He seemed tothink that his confession auld pave his neck and he pleaded with the Judge ora life sentence, but the law was jnexorabie, and to-day has seen the fulfill- pent of Dis sentence, Hon, John Lawler Dead, * 2 2 ages, * ut x * ek F Pa fete rr 2 yak ’ he, ee # = Corsets and 26 only; reduced from $1.00 to 450.

LONDON, Jan. 16.—The gathering of Spanish exiles on the French side of the Pyrennees has caused much alarm in Madrid, and in re- sponse to repeated requests therefrom the French Government has ordered its officials to drive away allsuspicious individuais from the border, but the mandate Is obeyed in a very perfunctory manner, aud the stormy petrels of Spanish politics merely flit from one place to another awaiting the signal from their sympathizers to make for Madrid and enjoy the cheering spectacie of viewing their late oppressors hasten to the frontier.

The cause has just come to light in charges preferred by Sergt. Dunn of the New York Weather Bureau against Lieut. FINLEY, an inspector of the Weather Department, for discourteous conduct. The row between the Sergeant and the Lieutenant kept the wind blowing hot and cold and allowed the weather to go to blazes. St. Louis had a similar ex- perience last year. Tue Earl of Euston has won his case against Editor PARKER of the North London Press for connecting his name with the West End scandals. The editor goes to prison for a year. The Earl admitted that he went to the house where the crimes were committed, and there was testimony that he participated in them, but that made no difference. An editor who tells unpleasant truths about a British nobleman in England must ex- ect to suffer for it. . Ld —, nn...

The surprised gratification with which the appointment of Maj. J. B. Hartow to | the Postmastership is greeted is not com- plimentary to the Administration. But the Administration deserves especial credit for having made an unexpected good appointment. They are to be con- gratulated particularly in having thrown over political considerations and the „pulls“ of politicians in favor of sound civil service and business considerations. The situation which brought about the appointment of Maj. HaRLOW was pecul- iar, and it was as fine a stroke of political as of business policy. In a business way the appointment meets the requirements of the office, which is of greatest impor- tance to merchants and citizens generally. It places a man at the head of the Post- office who is thoroughly familiar with the postal service and the needs of this city, whose long experience and proved ability fit him to bring up the local service to the highest point of efficiency. In a political way the appointment is wise for several reasons. While it does not strengthen the party machine it strengthens the party with the people and does not offend any faction. The fight over the office has been so long continued and bitter that the rewarding of one of the candidates would have invited the enmity of the others. It is also an ap- pointment in the line of true civil service reform, in thatit is the promotion of an efficient official to a higher place and is the selection of a man for the office who has not sought it, solely on the ground of his fitness. In grasping the situation and having the courage to meet it wisely and well, the administration have taken a long step toward their redemption in public esteem. — — — — RING RULE AT WASHINGTON. In criticising Secretary WINDOM’S arbi- trary interference with the importation of Mexican fluxing ores, we have frequently referred to Secretary BLAINE’sS carbonate ring as the-private interest WINDOM was promoting. Hesuspended for months the old established ruling as to the duties on Mexican silver-lead ores, the importation of which was stopped while he was mak- ing up his mind on the subject of revers- ing that rule. Mexico promptly retali- ated with taxes on the live stock, provisions, etc., she was receiving from Western States. Fearing further retalia- tion WINDOM finally refused to reverse the ruling, but devised another method of excluding foreign fluxing ores, by order- ing that the lead in them should be valued on the Rio Grande at New York prices, and when the lead thus valued should exceed the silver in value, they should be subject to duty as lead instead of coming in free as silver. This was a blow atall the smelting es- tablishments dependent on Mexican flux- ing ores for independence of the carbonate ring’s output. The object of it was to close such of the smelting establishments as were notso located as to draw their fluxing ores from Leadville and to make the rest utterly dependent on the carbon- ate ring and its railroad. The great car- bonate mine of this ring, the Maid of Erin and Henrietta, which employs an army of men and produces daily 300 tons of low-grade fluxing ores, belongs to the Du Bots brothers, Mrs. H. D. Morrat, H. A. W. TaBorR and JAMES G. BLAINE, the same parties being interested in the rail- road which carries the output to the Colo- rado smelters. The Denver Times says of it: The mine is one of the mainstays of the smelters of Colorado, supplying them with a most desirable decomposed ore, carrying nothing elsé than carbonate of leud and oxide ofiron. While the product is of low grade the great quantities produced leave royal div- idends,and all the owners are monthly adding many thousands of dollars to their already large fortunes. In order to increase the dividends of Secretary BLaIne and his mining part- ners, smelters have been closed by an ar- bitrary exclusion of Mexican fluxing ores and a growing market in Mexico for the products of Western farms has been de- molished. We may talk about ring rule and boodle influence in municipal govern- ment, but worse examples of it are to be found in high places at Washington. — . — Tue editor of the Springfield Leader was assured a year ago by Senator VEsT’s old law partner and nearest friend, Judge JOuN F. Purrips, that the Senator was tired of public life, and, being in a financial condition to live comfortably and to gratify the longing of his wife for a quiet life, would certainly retire at the end of his present term if no fight were made on him in the meantime, but would just as certainly be a candidate again and go in to win ff any fight were made on him. The fight is on,“ says the Leader} „nd Senator VEST is in the midst of it.“ Thus do our two Senators hold on—one because no fightis made on him and the other because a fight is made on him. —_——_———_-—__ 9 — — — As President of the fraudulent Midland Accident Insurance Co. ex-Gov.

The most favorable construc- tion of His conduct could not place it above criminal negligence. a —, - rn oon Republican ‘contemporaries lovingly refer to the Post-DISPATCH as a Democratic paper,’’ and then proceed to print from it ex- tracts containing more and meaner venom against prominent Democrats than even Re- publican editors like to stand fatherto, The Posr-Disraron is right on the tariff, but it is too sensational to hew to the line of veracity. When that paper has to choose between slan- dering Democrats and telling the truth, the latter commodity seeks the bottom of a very deep well.—[Ironton Register. Tbe Ironton Register is a small paper, but it is not too small to be decent, and we call upon it to make good its assertions or to stand convicted of slandering the best and truest Democratic paper in the State of Missouri, It has made the charge against the Post-Dispatronu of ‘‘slander- ing Democrats’’ at a sacrifice of the truth, and we hereby offer the editor of the Register the free use of our files and a re- ward of $100 if he will find a single in- stance in which the Post-Dispatcn has rendered itself liable to the charge so lightly and carelessly brought against it. lt is not so much the character of the Posr-Disrarch which is at stake in this issue as the character of the Ironton Reg - ister. ~~ — . — — Tweedledum and Iweedledee. From the New York WORLD. One of his strenuous defenders insists that all who have opposed the election of Mr. Brice on the ground that he is chosen for his wealth must prove that he has been gulity of buying votes. This argument is the outcome of a dulled moral sense. It is not necessary to show that Mr. Brice bribed legislators in order to convict him of the charge of buying his seat. Mr. Brice made large money contri- butions to the Democratic party in the recent presidential and gubernatorial elections (and to Democratic candidates to help their elec- tions to the Legislature, thus placing them under personal and pecuniary obligations). These contributions make him a candidate. There is no other reason for his selection. He has no political reputation except such as he gained from the mismanagement of the cam- paign of 1888, and that would not secure his election as a hogreeve. Therefore his ex- penditure of money is to make him Senator, and that is corruption, although he may not have bribed any one. Warning the Ways and Means. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). Why, then, do the Republican members of the committee hesitate to make reductions that will destroy the trusts and prevent the misuse and abuse of the principle of protec- tion? Congressmen must not think that the people do not understand the extent to which trade is infested with trustism and how exces- sive duties protect these combines. The people are looking to Congress for relief from the Glass Trust, the Rubber Trust, the Steel Trust, the Steel-Beam Trust, the Plow Trust, the Nail Trust, the Stove Trust, the Copper Trust and other like combines. What ex- planation will Congressmen make if they leave on the tariff list excessive duties which operate to encourage trustism by offering producers inordinate profits on condition that they combine and suppress domestic competition? Dishonoring Our Flag. From the Boston Globe. A beautiful steel bark arrived in Philadel- phia the other day from Manila with 1,680 tons of sugar. She was built abroad by Amer- loans and is manned and owned by Ameri- cans. Yet she sneaks about the ocean under the Hawaiian flag, as our navigation laws will not give her an American register nor permit her to carry a pound of freight between Amer- ican ports, even as ballast. This is an inter- esting attitude for a great nation to assume towards its own citizens, Protection does not enable them to bud iron and steel ships here, nor to buy them abroad to sail under the Stars and Stripes. So they roam about the seas under false colors borrowed from some petty power. It is indeed a wonder that our merchants have endured such humiliating treatment so long. Buta healthy reaction is under way. Like the Other Fellews. From the Chicago Herald. The trouble with Oalvin 8. Brice and the Ohio Democrats who have selected him for United States Senator appears to be that he is too much like the average Republican Senator and they are’ too much like the Ohio Re- publicans. Mr. Brice possesses all the qualifications usually found in a Republican Senator. He is wealthy, audacious, unscrupulous, The Ohio Democrats who have named him for Senator are, like the Ohio Republicans, men who be- lieve in spoils and, like the Republicans also, they selected Mr. Brice as the Republicans of Ohio selected John Sherman or as the Repub- licans of Pennsylvania selected Matt S. Quay —because they believed that when oppor- tunity offers he will assist his friends to place and to power. — MEN OF MARK. POSTMASTER-GENERAL WANAMAKER Was once proprietor and editor of a newspaper.

To the Editor of the Post- Diapatca: The meeting of the Missouri publishers, to be held at the Laclede Hotel in St. Louis next Thursday and Friday, January 2 and 24, will be attended only by representative publishers. It is a meeting for business and not for fun. The fact that those who will be present will pay their own railroad and hotel bills is a guarantee that the meeting will be com- posed of the best elements of our profession. There will be present not only many of the experienced successful publishers from this State, but several from other States. The themes to de discussed are of the most prac- tical character, and the conference isto be wholly informal. No display of rhetoric or oratory isto be tolerated. It is to de an op- portunity for securing the best ideas of the best meninthe business, and no restraints will be placed upona full interchange of opinion. he hardest worked and poorest pone tollers in Missouri are publishers of weekly pavers. This fact is due in no small degree to a lack of organization andof a proper appreciation of thelr own opportunities. Yet no class of pab- lishers understand the business us they do, for no others come in such close and constant contact with it. It is hoped that they will re- ceive sympathy and encouragement from their brethren in the cities. You may not realize it, Mr. Editor, and it is true that the country newspapers wiel the aggregate a more powerful influence than do the city dailies. They not only have a larger number of readers, but they are more closely read and they live much nearer to the people. The subjects to be considered—editorial work, advertising, subscription, book- keeping, the mechanical department, job work and legislation, apply in various degrees to all branches of the business, city and country, but if any pub- lisher thinks that he can learn nothing from the meeting let him at least be philanthropic enough to attend and give the brethren the benefit of his knowledge. Publishers of other States have adopted the plan of practical business meetings with signal success. Why not Missouri? In union there is strength andin multitude of counsel wisdom. E. W. STEPHENS, President Missouri Press Association. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS C.—Three-dollar gold pieces of 1854 are not ata premium. F. A. G.— There ie no daily paper published at Edwardsville, III. J.

This recognition includes the value. of the enterprise op the part of a great and popular newspaper such as the PosT-DISPATOH to the city and its commercial interests, to those whose business depends upon the reports, and also the large measure of success which the enterprise has gained. The recognition is given openly with un- measured praise by the two classes of busi- ness men who are chiefly interested in secur- ing full and accurate. market reports—the merchant in the city and the merchant out- side of the city. In addition to the valuable indorsements of the work of the Post-DispaTom which have been published by us already we present to- day the following letters, Deginning with one from the well-known firm of Bernet & Craft, supplemented by a few letters received by them from their correspondents. The letter of Bernet & Craft is as follows: BERNET & CRAFT, FLOUR MERCHANTS and MILLERS’ AGENTS. Sr. Louris, Jan. 15, 1890.

Well, we should smile, of course we shall be delighted to make the exchange, we consider the Posr- DISPATCH the most reliable and the best paper of all you have down there; the market report is gotten up in much better style, and then the little comments they add. onthe home and other markets are very interesting. In fact we all like it, and thank you very much.“ We have others of the same tenor and be- lieve this new departure will meet the ap- proval ofall our merchants, and prove of great benefit to the city at large.

There is a very bitter and determined oppo- sition being made by residents on Finney av- enue, west of Grand avenue and east of Van- deventer avenue, against the passage of the Lindell Railway bill as it now stands, witha provision for a double track overhead elec- tric system on Finney avenue, from Grand avenue to Taylor avenue. Tbe road has now a single horse railway track on Finney av- enue from Grand to Vandeventer, and a single electric system line from 8 to Tay - lor, The amendment made by the Couneill committee Was to put a double track right out Finney avenue from Grand avenue to Taylor avenue. MThigbrousht — the opposition in full force and a strong ht isnow being made. esterday a number of the members of the Counell man over the line under the guidance 8 8 George D. Capen and Secretary Baum- off. It was reported in a morning paper that the street was found to be wide enough to allow Pap on either side of a double track to allow e passage of two vehicles abreast. On this point the opposition committee of Finney — property holders differ. Among the property holders who have been prominent in 2 resentation ofiobjections are 1 E. Jones, N. T Taylor, Patrick Degnan, P. Burns, M. Doherty D. McArthur, F. Bobn, and John J. O’Brien. The objectors made the fol- lowing statement concerning the subject and the assertion that the property holders were satisfied with the propositions made: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In the Republic of to- n is 2 a glaring misrepresentation whi desire your paper to contradict. Itis printed under the Caption 2 the Lindell Route. It is true that George D. Capen, President ot the Lindell Rallvay Co., yesterday spent the day log-rolling with certain members of the City Council to induce them to vote for the infamous ordinance now before the Coun oil, whereby the property on Finney and Lucas avenues is to be ruined and the lives of thousands of pedestrians put in peril by liquid lightning. Itis stated in said article that Finney avenue is of sufficient width to admit of adouble track and still leave room enough for two wagons to pass on either side abreast.’’” Now, this over, if double tracks laid upon Finney avenue, it would be impossible for those worshiping at the Uhristian Church, near Grand avenne,to get to their church with carriages for funerals and weddings without great peril or actually stopping the cars. Again, it is said at the bottom of sald article, that this route is generally satisfactory to the property owners.’’ This is infamously false, as is well known to George D. Capen and eve member of the City ounclil. Nineteen-twentieths ot all the property- owners on Finney avenue have signed a vigorous protest against this ordinance, which was read before the City Council on the 14th inst., and a like propo- tion of the owners on Lucas avenue are bi- terly opposed to said ordinance. The truth is a vigorous effort was made by the Lindell R. R. Co. and Mr. Comfort to sneak this ordi- nance through without j the property owners a chance to be hear Justice and fair play on the part of a majority of the Council rebuked this wrong, bowever, and on Friday night at8 o’clock property owners on Finney and Lucas avenues will be heard be- fore the Council. By order of FINN£Y AVENUE PROTESTANTS. On Friday night the Council will give all objectors a hearing and listen to arguments against the location of any part of the road on any particular street. A large delegation of opposing property-holders will be in at- tendance. ALTON, ILL. * Letter- Carrier Changes Causing Dissatisfac- tion—Items of Interest. Wm.

Mr. Mullery fs an old resident of St, Loulg and for years kevt a horse-shoeing shop adjoining Jesse Arnot’s livery stable. iY —x»2 Some years ago here- tired from active business, having accumu- lated a fortune variously estimated at from 3850, 000 to $80,000. He*hasseven children living and it js claimed by the children, or at least some of them, that he is 80 years of age, while the old man himself says he is only 70 years old. Some months ago it became known that Mr. Mullery intended to marry Mrs. Alves, & widow about 40 years of age who delivered bread at his house. To prevent this marriage, Joseph Mullery and John J. Conroy, two of Mr. Mullery’s children, brought the present inquiry into their father’s sanity. They claimed his mental faculties were im- paired by extreme old age and that Mrs. Alves was exerting undue influence over him to induced him to marry her. Her object, they claimed, was to get possession of bis money. Mr. Mullerly indignantly denied that he was as old as stated or that his t mental faculties were impaired, and said that his children had brought the proveeding merely for the purpose of getting his property and that if he was not possessed of money they would not have instituted the inquiry or have attempted to Interfere with his marriage. Pend - ing the result of the inquiry Mr. Mullery and Mrs. Alves were wedded New Year’seve. As Mr. Mullery and his two chiidren who broughs the proceeding have always commanded the respect of all who know them, more than usual interest has been manifested in the pro- ceeding. Another thing which did not detract any from the interest In the case was a state- ment that the children would endeavor to as- sail the character of their father’s bride. Mr. Mullery is her third husband. When the case came up for trial before Judge Woerner this morning there were a number of old residents of the city present In court who had come to give their — In the case. Messrs.

FRANK BROTH THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. CONGRESS INVESTIGATING THE OHIO BAL- LOT-BOX FORGERY CASE. 4A McKinley, Ex- Gov. Foraker and Others on the Witness Stand—The Testimony—Muret Halstead’s Connec- tion With the Famous Exposure—Tariff Hearings Before the House Ways and Means Committee, Ex Teltecronh to the POSt-DIspPater. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16,—The belief is gradually extending that there may be a post- ponement of the World's Fair until 1895. The delay in the House may continue for some time to come. Those who are favorable to Chicago seemed invlinedto accept a postpone- ment or even defeat rather than have the matter considered bya special committee. New York men have delayed sending in their printed briefs tothe Senate Committee, as requested todo. This has caused the commit- tee to delay meeting until-next Saturday or Monday. The truth is New York is not anxious for a fair, but if one is had thatcity wants it. This tardiness and indifference is becoming more manifest daily. Mr. C. H. Sampson of St. Louls said be saw signs of postponement which, of course, were not encouraging to St. Louis as she is prepared to inaugurate the move after the whole matter is considered by committee. It will be some time before Congress can agree on a location, which would not permit ot the erection ofthe necessary buildings by 1892. Mr. Seth W. Cobb and the St. Louis delegates here do not feel discouraged at all, notwithstanding these signs. They were all at work at the House to-day regarding the Special Committee, and Mr. Cobb thinks its appointment will follow. In conferring with Congressmen he found that some of them re- gard that the taking of the subject from the hands of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee would be considered a refiection, that while some members would vote for a select committee, still a delicate, technical question would influence them. Chicagoans have argued with Mr. Cobb to let the matter remain where it is, and that a bill would be proposed not naming the place, but he and others want a special committee or none. Mr. Cobb paid all fairness and justness demands a spe- cial committee and that the members from Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere whom he has talked with agree to it. Something will likely be done in the House to-day. Mr. C. H. Sampson and Mr. S. W. Cobd will call upon the Mexican Minister this afternoon with a view of ob- taining a Mexican exhibit atthe St. Louis Ex- position. There is one question which both- ers them in connection withthe matter, If the Mexicans wantto send goods for exhibit and for sale, whether they will be all owed to come in the country without duty. Minister Romero has an engagement with these gentlemen this afternoon and it Is be- lieved the matter will be satisfactorily ar- ranged. They also want an exhibit from the 1 display at the Smithsonian Insti- u 8. Thomas J. Kelly, who was nominated for Postmaster at Moberly yesterday, and Capt. Oatlette, who was named for Hannibal, will remain hare to see about confirmation. Con- ressman Niedringhaus wanted to know what r. Kelly had done to merit the place. He was told that Mr. Kelly had been inthe pos- tai service several years, had worked for the Bepublican success” last fali, and was backed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Kelly but 25 years of age and has worked his way up from a newsboy on the rallroad to a good business. His was not a recognition of the active olitical worker, however, Congressman Hatch will do what he can to defeat the confirmation of Mr. Catlett who ‘Was nominated two years ago before the ‘expiration of lhe Democratic incumbent’s tine of service. Mr. Hatch ie an especial champion of the incumbeut 2 tho office and tninks he sLould be allowed to serve his term out, as the : pee: who preceded him was allowed by President Cleveland. The change ie made ou the report of a Post-office Inspector. Rufus J. Delano, Esq., of the World’s Fair @elegation will leave for St. Louis this after- moon. He has done all he could do for the interest he was sent here to represent, visit- = tog Ohio members and others, the friends of . — The Ohle Ballot- Box Forgery. Wasurnoros, D.

Whiting, reciting that as it is de- sirable to . 75 full and impartial investi- e the grippe. committee gation th request that Representative Grosvenor be allowed to appear before the committee to aid in examining witnesses and render other assistance. This request was granted and Representative Grosve- nor said that while it was ad- mitted that the paper which was t form the basis of the investigation was forged, allthe persons concerned desired to appear and testify to that fact as wellas to any other facts that they might know, bearing on the subject. Representative McKiniey was the first witness to appear. The Chairman presented apaper dated July 2, 1888, and asked if the witness had ever seen the paper and whether the name ‘*‘William McKinley, Jr., signed thereto was signed by him. Hesaid hesaw a paper like it for the first time just before Congress met. It was shown him by Representative Butterworth. The name was not his signa- ture. He knew nothing aboutthe matter ex- cept what he had seen in the newspapers and never beard of the ballot box bill until it was brought to light in the last campaign. He kifew nothing of the that impelled the forgery. He saw a facsimile of. the paper published in the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette, signed by J. F. Campbell alone. It was afterward pub- lished in other and local Republican papers. He had no interest, direct or indirect, in the paper and never had any relations with Mr. Wood, and did not recall that be had ever heard of him or the ballot- box matter until he saw this publication. In his speech at the Cincinnati Music Hall September 28, Gov. Foraker produced a copy of the ballot-box bill and that with.the news- paper publication was the first he heard of the subject. Gov. Foraker, at that time, made no reference to a contract, but subsequently the contract and subscription was published Commercial Gazette. Wm. McKinley, very like his ture, but it may have riedly traced froma frank. His first intima- tion that his name was signedto the paper was received through Judge G. W. O'Neill of Lebanon, but he did not remember whether that was before or after the retraction. When the whole paper was published, after the election, by the Commercial- Gazette his name appeared attached to it. « Judeon Harmon, a lawyer of Cmoinnati, who was Gov. Campbell’s counsel, was the next witness and said that he never saw the forged paper until this morning. Some time in October last George J. Murray told bim that this paper was a forgery and had been gotten up in his office. The witness started to get proof, spending the next day in getting three affidavits by G. L. Murray, F. L. Miliward and Frank Davis. These affidavits were put in evidence.) he next day, in company with J. N. Jordan, becalled on Mr. Murat Halstead of the Com- mercial-Gazeltte and demanded to see the aper. Mr. Ha'stead said thatthe paper was ocked up in the Safe Deposit, but showed a photographic copy. itness told him the paper was a forgery. Mr. Halstead asked twenty-four hours for investigation and a truce was declared—neither side to print any- thing and Mr. Halstead withdrawing an editorial about to be published. Next day witness saw the retraction and got a note from Mr. Halstead stating that he was convinced that the paper was a forgery. The persons making the affidavits were told tnat they were wanted only to secure a retraction. The photographic copy of the paper exhibited by Mr. alstead bad all of the signatures attached. Mr. Haletead had cross-examined the witness to discover whether he knew of the other names. As the other names, besides Mr. Campbell’s, had not been publicly mentioned, witness ‘thought itwas the partof decency and wis- dom to say nothing about them inthe retrac- tion. Mr. Halstead believed that the paper was genuine; but acknowledged that some- thing had happened that afternoon to cause him to investigate its authenticity. Mr. Halstead did not say where he got the apers. Witness had his suspicions, but Mr. alstead denied their truth. Wood had told Murray, when the latter upbraided him for misusing his officeand his young men, that the whole matter was a mistake; that it was not intended for publication, but to force the wicked Democrats to give up the Topp letter. This was a proposi- tion by Geo. L. Topp to contractor to sell gravel to the city and dfvide profits. Mr. Campbell was understood to be about to spring this letter upon the Republicans. Wit- ness thought Wood’s story was fishy. resentative Grosvenor asked if Topp had not afterwards been found to be insane, and had not died in the insane Asylum, to which question the witness replied in the affirma- ve. Amor Smith, Jr., Surveyor of Customs of Cincinnati, took the stand and was shown the forged paper, which he said he had first seen ata Kepublican headquarters, October 6 last. It had already been published with Mr.Camp- bell’s signature. tness said when it was shown to him by Mr. O. L. Kurtz that he be- lieved it was a forgery, but consented to de- liver itto Mr. Halstead, which he did, with the statement tnat he dla not believe it to be motive n cep Rar of kis statement. Mr. Halstead smiled and said they seemed to have used indelible ink; but he appeared to beileve it to be genuine, iter th 4 2 i 4 arr . a. ae >Re > a 8 tp BS aa N. ne os hg cy * ei 1 e 5 2 Syren 7 5 7 7 * 3 bs Rep-" resolution. nuine, pointing out a peoallarity of the ink | It seen | committee might sit based upon its appearance, the ink and the remarkable similarity ofthe three Campbell signatures. Ex-Gov. Foraker took the stand and was shown ‘‘exhibit A“ (the forged paper) and asked to tell all he knew aboutit. He said he had no personal knowledge of who executed 1 After his nomination, June 27, L. N. Hadden, Assistant City Solicitor, came to see him and talked about the political situa- tion, It seemed probable that Mr. Campbell would be nominated by the Democrats. ad- den thought that Campbell would bea strong candidate, saying in explanation that he would have the support of some leading Republicans —mentioning Maj. Butterworth. Hadden said his reason for supposing so was that in the finanola! results of Campbell’s ballot-box bill Messrs. Butterworth and McKinley were both interested. He undertook to procure written evidence of his statement. Witness was busy and did not think ofthe matter until July 8 when not baving heard from Hadden he wrote him asking forthe evidence. Hadden did nut answer. September 28, afterthe Music Hall speech, witness saw Hadden, when he mentioned Woed as a party interested who could furnish the paper. Witness wondered how he could communicate with Wood, believing it to be his duty to get possession of the paper to make use of legitimately. A telegram came to the Governor’s office dated Cincinnati, August 6, asking whether he would help the sender (R. G. Wood, who was an applicant for the position of Smoke In- espector). That night witness started from New York, telegraphing Wood to meet him at Columbus on Tuesday. Another telegram came from Wood August 9, asking his endorse- ment of his application. Witness returned to Columbus on the 15th and received a telegram from Wood saying he was coming. Witness saw Wood and taiked about his qualifications for the place of smoke inspector. Witness bad a general knowledge of Wood at that time, but had never heard a word to his dis- credit. His business relations would have commended himto any one. Witness sald be was willing to recommend him. As he was willing to do Wood that favor, he told Wood he should be willing to do a favor for bim and told bim he wanted that paper, ‘‘Exhibit A. Wood seemed alittle confused, but ad- mitted that there was such a paper and made a clean breast of it, telling of tke ballot-box bill and contract and of the chain of circumstances, and saying that the paper was in the custody of Powell Crosley, counsel for his company. Wood told of the failure of the bill with the last contract, but sald that a new contract had been drawn up and efforts were being made to get Gov. Alger’s signature. Wood also told about another and worse contract—the steel gun contract—and said there had been some dishonest business in connection with the Modoc lands. The witness was more interested in the ballot-box business, and Wood promised tosend the papers. At this point the committee adjourned, after granting a request by Representative Outhwaite that Gov. Campbell’s examination be fixed for Monday, January 27, as he was very busy at present. Discussing the World's Fair. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—In the House to-day Mr. McKinley of Obio, from the Com- mittee on Rules, reported a resolution for the appointment of a Committee on the World’s Fairto consist of thirteen mem- bers, which committee shall, within. three days, reporta plan by which the House can determine the site of the proposed Fair and 8 report a bill Sroviding for the air. Mr. Cannon of Illinois, as the minority of the committee, reported a substitute resolu- tion as follows: Whereas, On the 18th and Loth days of De- cember, and at other times, the House re- ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs divers bills petitions and memorials touching the projected World’s Fair of 1892, thereby giving full jurisdiction to that committee of the whote subject matter and said committee has given exhaustive consideration to the game, Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Affairs be instructed to report a resolution providing a method of selecting the locality of the World’s Fair of 1892 y a vote of the House of Representatives. First, whether said Fair shall be held east or west of the Allegheny Mountain; The selection of the place for the loca tion of said fair. After such votes shall have been taken, the committee at the earliest pos- sible day shall 5 a bill providing fora Worid’s Fair in 1892, to be held at the place selected, as above provided. Mr. Hitt of Illinois, Chairman of the Com- mittee of Foreign Affairs, favored the substi- tute resolution. Mr. Morrow of California did the same. Mr. Hatch of Missouri favored the majority He said that prior to the appointment of the Oomniittee on Foreign Afiairs, the gentlemen representing the competing olties had entered into a com- pact that a speolal committee should ‘be cre- ated. He asked that the agreement be carried out. Mr. Frank of Missouri strongly advocated the majority report. 0.4 Mr. Springer of Illinois denied that there had béen any compact between the repre- sentatives of the cities. was true that call a the Rules in pools) committee, but the at ment was that the 1g holiday only inten:ion of t during the 7 ‘ 7 14 * a * oe f 3 * 5 2 7 ‘ ED se SF bates “> tae 7 * * tle men to meetin the hotel parlor and make a compact to bind members of the House.

Mr. McCreary of Kentucky, Mr. Chipman of Michigan and Mr. Hooker of Mississippi spoke in favor of the minority report. Mr. Payne of New York supported the ma- jority report. The Tariff Hearings. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 16.— H. T. Rich- ardson of New York was the only witness to appear before the Ways and Means Committee this morning. He represented the large stove-makers of the United States and pre- sented a petition signed by them asking that mica be retained on the free list, on the ground that to place a duty upon that article would be to burden the manu- facturing interests. The witness said that the protection of large mica in the United States during the past three orfour years had been so light that manufacturers had been obliged to use the small mica. To place aduty upon mica would enhance the cost to the manufacturer without benefiting the consumer. Mr. Flower read a telegram from the J. L. Mott Iron-works, the Union Stove-works and the Manhattan Stove-works urging the retention of mica on the free list. The committee then took a recess until 1:30. La Grippe.

IN THE TOILS. Mme. Devere, the Clairvoyant, and Her Dupe Arrested. TOLEDO, Q., Jan. 16.—The developments in the forgery case now tend to show that Lamb, the expressman who negotiated the notes supposed to be forged, was made the dupe of Mme. Deveré, a clairvoyant, who has figured here, at Cleveland and Painesville under dif- ferent aliases. She admits that she has passed underthe name of Florida G. Bivthe, who is named as payee in one of the notes. She told e lawyer here, who call- ed in to transact some legal business for her several months ago, that it is her real name. A queer complication is that there appears to be another Florida G. Blythe, a lady of ex- cellent reputation in Cleveland, but there appears no connection detween her and the Toledo woman. Lamb and Madame Devere were both arrested late last night on a charge of forgery. Their ball was fixed at $500 each. Lamb secured this after midnight, but De Vere is still behina the bars. . THE IOWA SENAIORSHIP. Gov. Larrabee Indorsed for Allison’s Seat by the Farmers’ Alliance. Des Mos, Io., January 16.—Gov. Larrabee was yesterday indorsed by the Iowa Farmers’ Alliance for United States Senator to succeed 8 enator Allison. The Farmers’ Alliance cialm to be a non-partisan organization. The Com- mittee on Resolutions recommended the fol- lowing resolution, which was adopted by the convention by a vote of 58 to 6: Resolved, By this convention of the Farm- ers’ Alliance of Iowa, consisting of officers, members and delegates, that we demand of the Iowa Legislature the election of Wm. Lar- rabee to the United States Senate. A committee was appointed to present it to the Republican Senatorial caucus. Another committee at once paid Goy. Larrabee a visit and stated to him the action of the con- vention. They made no report last night, but it was given out that they will report this morning. One of the members of the com- mittee Ena intimated that their visit to the Governor was ina degree satisfactory. Their report is looked for with great interest and many believe that it will put Gov. Larrabee in the ight of a candidate against Allison. DR. OWEN'S ELECTRIC BELT ORY» improved duly 30, 1880. QWEN’S TRO-GALVANIC BO T pernggs, Vandervoort & Barney DRY COODS co.

H. THOMPSON, President. Gro. M. PASCHALL, Secretary. — — Constitutional Catarrh. No single disease has entailed more suffering or hastened the breaking up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight. of hearing, the human voice, the mind—cne or more, and sometimes ail, yield to its destructive influence. The poison it distributes throughout the system at- tacks every vital force, and breaks up the most robus, of constitutions. Ignored, because but little under- stood, by most physicians, impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have ittle hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment of this ter- rible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trust- worthy. The new and hitherto untried method adopted by Dr. Sanford m the preparation of his RADICAL CURE hae won the hearty approval of thou- lands. It is instantaneousin affording relief in all head colds, sneezing, snuffling and obstructed breath- ing, and rapidly removes the most oppressive symp- toms, clearing the head, sweetening the breath, re- storing the senses of smell, taste and hearing, and neutralizing the constitational tendency of the disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys. SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT and IMPROVED INHALER; price, $1. POTTER DRUG & CHEMICAL CORPORATION, Boston. 7 WO*RHEUMATIZ ABOUT ME!

WALKER BLAINE, Sudden Death of the Secretary of State’s Eldest Son. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 16.—Walker Blaine, the eldest son of the Hon. James G. Blaine, Secretary of State, died suddenly at the family residence in the old Seward mansion at 8:20 o’clock last evening of acute pneumonia, which had been super induced by the grip.“ He was delirious during the whole of yester- day and, although they did not consider his iliness of such a grave nature as it proved to to be, all of the members of the family who were absent from the city were at once oalled home by telegrams. His death was a pain- less one, as he passed away while unconscious. Margaret and Harriet, his two unmarried sisters, were the only members ofthe family present at the time of his death, although the others were in the nouse at the time. They are all prostrated by the sudden grief which has so suddenly come upon them. Dr. G. Lioyd Magruder, the family physician, gives the following account of his illness: Last riday evening Mr. Walker Blaine was attacked by la grippe. He first had a chill, which was followed by a high fever. Both lungs were immediately attacked by catarrhal symptoms, which lasted Saturday and Sunday. On Morday pneumonic symp- toms set in, and on Tuesday all of the symp- toms were aggravated. Wednesday the de- veloped pneumonia supervened in the right lung, accompanied by high fever and delir- jum which continued until his death, which was caused directly by pulmonary effusion. Although in comparatively good health he had not recovered entirely from the accident in which his leg was broken last spring and an attack of malarial fever which he had in the fall. PRESIDENT HARRISON’S CONDOLENCE. The news of the death of Mr. Blaine spread rapidly and during the evening many friends called to express their sympathy. President and Mrs. Harrison, Vice-President and Mrs. Morton, Justices Harlan and Grey and a num- ber of other equally prominent persons called at the house. Walker Blaine was born in Augusta, Me., May 8, 1855. In 1867 he first came to live in ‘Washington, five years after his father’s elec- tion to Congress. In 1876 he graduated from Yale, and two years later from the Columbia law school in New York. During the nexttwo yeurs he was in St. Paul, Minn., in the law office of C. K. Davis, now Senator from that State. In 1881 he came to Washington and was appointed Third Assistant Secretary of State. The following winter he went to South America with Mr. Trescott on N special mission to assist in settling the troubles which existed between Chiliand Peru. He remained in Bolivia as Charge d' Affaires for several months. In the yeer 1882 he was appointed assistant counsel of the Court of Alabama Claims, which pos!i- tion he held until 1885. From 1886 to 1888 he lived in Chicago,returning to Washington Jannary i, 1889, He assisted his father in the work which devolved upon him when he became Secretary of State, and on March 13 was appointed by President Harrison to the position of Exam- iner of Claims inthe State Department, as puch being the legal adviser of thg Secretary. Mr. Walker Blaine has assisted his father greatly in his political career, and has always enjoyed his father’s fullest confidence. The funeral of Mr. Walker Blaine will take place fromthe Church of the Convent next Saturday at 11 a. m. The interment will be at Oak Hiil Cemetery. We Know Very Little About dry goods.

AGtrongiMarket, but Featureless and of a Scalping Character. By Private Wire to Gaylord-Blessing. From New York, 9a.m.—Thesmall bulls in the market were quite encouraged last even- ing over the smart rallyand improvemen established in prices at the close of the day, but the bears said that indicated nothing which would be of. any special benefit to the bulls. Several large commission houses, generally bullish also said that the stiffer prices made at the end of the day were really of nospecial significance, and were almost entirely due to the covering up of shorts in a narrow wiggle- waggle sort of a marketin whichthere isno common busi- ness or orders from the customers in their offices, and they can not be induced to do any- thing.

These are not of such a pronounced chegracter as to in- dicate a permanent tendency to the market, but are rather the result of temporary scalp- ing transactions.

LOUIS HAS SUFFERED LESS FROM THE GRIP THAN OTHER CITIES. Health Department Records Show a Re- markably Low Death Rate — Fewer Deaths From Pulmonary Diseases Than Last Year, When the Grip Was Not Here —The Reason Why This Should Be. T may be rather early to boast, the edge of the woods may not be yet in sight or the dangers over, but up to date the grip has been more considerate of St. Louisans than ofany other people. Physicians unite in saying that the epidemic has been 2 lighter in St. Louis than in any other place they have reports of. Many of their patients have been confined to the limits of their own homes but a few days, and have then returned to business. There have been so few serious cases that some doctors are contending. THE REAL RUSSIAN INFLUENZA has never been in St. Louis at all. In Paris there were deaths by the score. In New York, Boston, Chicago and many other cities to the East there have been numerous deaths ascrib- able to the influenza. From the beginning of the epidemic tothe present time there have not been in St. Louls more than two cases that bave resembied the Parisian cases de- scribed in recent medical journals. This lack of severity is credited by physi- cians to the excellent situation of St. Louis, its perfect drainage and the general healthful- ness of the Inhabitants. St. Louis is and has long been a very healthy city and its people are in consequenes better prepared to resist the attack of any epidemic disease than those who live in cities not possessing the same natural advantages. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT statistics prove positively that the grip has had ne effect to increase the death rate of St. Louis. La grippe or influenza do not appear onthe records as causeof death. Kindred causes are consumption and pneumonia. During the week ending January 12, 1889, the deaths from consumption were 21; from pneumonia, 19; a total of 40. The total deaths for the week were 164. The same week of 1890 shows decreased death rate and fewer deaths from pulmonary diseases. The total deaths were 130, a falling off of nearly 20 per cent. Ofthis number but25 were from pul- monary diseases and of these BUT 8 FROM PNEUMONIA. The deaths for all of December and so much of January as ise past numbered many less than the deaths for the same time in the preceding year, and neither 1889 nor 1888 were remark- able for low’or high death rate. They were average years. Should 1890 continue as it has begun its death rate will, in spite of the epi- demic of influenza, be remarkably low. This is not the case In Chicago, New York or Boston, which cities seem to have suffered most from the tormenting, bone-aching, sneezing fever known asia gr ppe. The death rate Oh ot those cities bas been raised f by she epidemic, and all forms of * — 8 8 in mind —it Will not affect at 25. All sizes, from 32 to 46 bust. AND WE HAVE HAD:NO FIRE OR CYCLONE!

Theclear cold weather is not good for its development. It thiived in the wetcold weather and did not diminish during the warm spelis. It has been far more mild in the western portion of the city than in any other section, and bas been a matter of smaliconcern all over the section lying outside the closely packed part of town.

Winter Weather Checking Sales—Property Sold To-Day—Buying for Spring. Cold weather is having a decidedly chilling effect upon real estate, but the market has been so exceedingly good with the exception of brief intervals for more than a year past no one Is inclined to grumble. It is predicted that the present lull will not last long as there are a great many small speculators, and large ones too, for that mat- ter, in the market who are looking anxiously for something to buy while winter is here. Such parties who are not well supplied at present hope to take advantage of the season to me A cheap or at prices at least which will enable them to realize an advance of from $5 to $10 a foot when spring opens. CONTINUALLY BUYING. The Merchants’ Bridge Railway Terminal Co. has added another $25,000 urchase to the numerous properties bought bv that cor- poration for railway purposes. Their latest acquisition isa piece of ground fronting 188x 120 feet on the eastside of Main street be- tween Lebaum and Brooklyn, which was pur- chased in the name of Louis Silver from Mr. F. Heman.

THE NEW COMMITTEES. | MERCHANTS’ FXCHANGE DIRECTORS MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR THE YEAR. The Real Estate Committee Will Not Be Discontinued—What Is Said on the Floor in Relation to It—State Grain Inspection —All Interests to Be Fairly Represented. HE first regular meeting of the newly elected Board of Direct- ors of the Mer- chants’ Ex- change was held in the directora’ room this after- noon. The board has met here be- fore, but in conjunction with the old board, and to-day was the flrst time that the mem ders ate their lunch as an organized body. Much interest was felt in the meeting, as the standing committees for the present year were to be appointed, President John W. Kauffman has been hard at work going over the lists of those previously holding positions on the various committees, and beforethe meeting was called to order it was known that he in- tended making no important changes. THE REAL ESTATE COMMITTEE. Interest was centered on the Real Estate Committee, as there was some question as to whether successors would be appointed to those who have lately gone out ofoffice. This committee isnot one of those regularly ap- pointed, but was created for a par- ticular purpose, the recommendation of some method of investing the sur- plus fund in real estate. The adverse decision of the Exchange to the report of the committee in reference to the Planters" House purchase was regarded by some as putting an end tothe usefulness of this comm ittee, and as indicative that it should not be continued. President Kauffman, however, was informed by many of those who most strongly opposed the Planters’ House scheme that they had no wish to discontinue the committee, as it might still be useful, and as he saw that the sentiment of both the Board of Directors and the members of the Exchange was overwhelm- ingly in favor of the reappointment of this committee, he decided to ‘send in his list of names. THE SITUATION DISCUSSED. There was a great deal of talk upon the floor in regard to this committee, those who fa- vored its continuance explaining that it did not In any way mean that a new Exchange should be bullt, but simply that the market should be watched, and such real estate In- vestments as the committee deemed advan- tageous recommended. Even were propery urebased, it would not necessitate the build- ng of a new Exchange, but simply a reinvest- ment. Many of those who desired to pur- chase the present quarters were in favor of the continuance of the committee, GRAIN INSPECTION.

As long as the amount of grain received in this city is kept down, no danger is anticipated, and nearly everyone is contented with the pre- sent status, which involves no contest with the State officials. Complimentary tickets have been senttothe members of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners and the grain inspectors, and all courtesies will be extended them. There were few important changes in any of the committees appointed, President Kauffman having expressed his in- tention of giving all interests proper recognition. The following commit- tees were appointed: Committee on Membership, Committee on Grain In. spection, consistin of committees ‘on the inspections of wheat and corn, oats, bar- ley and rye, Committee on Real Estate, Com- mittee on Flour Inspection, Committee on Provision Inspection, Committee on Seed and Castor Beans Inspection, Committee on Rules, Committee on Contracts for Future De- livery, Com mittee on Market Re- orts, Committee on Mississippi River mprovement, Committee on Mexican and South American Trade, Committee on Meteor- ology, Committee on National Board of Trade, Committee on Transportation. and a Floor Committee. The only important change made was in the abolition of paid assistants to the Transportation Committee. To Hot Springs Without Change.

A Jealous Superior Puts the New York Weather Man onthe Rack—The War of Words in Which the Boston Lieutenant Came Out Second Best—Sergt. Dunn Prefers Charges. Jy Telegraph to the POST-DIsPaTcH. New YORE, Jan. 16.—Less than a week ago, while Sergt. Dunn, Chief of the New York Weather Bureau, was sitting in his office just under the roof of the Equitable building, the door knob was turned around twice, and the big, heavy door opened and was swung back with a force which started the phonograph off in a speech of mild remonstrance. In the doorway stood aman over six feet high and broad in proportion, with a pair of feet more than able to balance the weighc of 225 pounds of humanity. A flowing mustache, dark brown in color, gave the visitor a fierce aspect. Ah, Sergt. Dunn, said he, in a James Owen O' Connor voice, I have come to in- spect the office.’’ Sergt. Dunn is asmall man, and witha mild, pleasant face. at the intruder. Good morning, seat. He was one of the second lieutenants of the Weather Department. He is the Sergeant’s superior officer, and itis his glorious privi- lege to inspect the Sergernt occasionally. In- cidentally, he pute the Sergeant through a civil service examination and tries to make him as comfortable as possible. It is said that the big Lieutenant does not like Boston, where he is at present stationed, but would much prefer to look after the weatber Interests In this city. This is given as a cause for the manner in which he treats the mild little Sergeant. Lieut. Finley, after having introduced himself, thus abruptly stripped his coat and settled down to business, First he began to examine the instruments. ‘*Sergt. Dunn, what do I find here?’’ he roared, picking up a glass tube with a bulb at oneend. ‘‘A lactometer; what on earth do you use that here for?’’ ‘*I find it very handy, sir, to measure the milk of human kindness, meekly re- sponded Dunn, while the Lieutenant glared harder than ever. The mercury in the ba- rometer began to fall rapidly and the Lieuten- ant rushed up and began to take notes of it. Why don’t you move?’’ he yelled. ‘‘Don’t you see this? Make notes—take observations —do you hear?’’ I know. It always happens when you come. I told Jim only the other day that if you came any oftener I would have to lock the barometer up to keep the mercury from run- ning out altogether,’’ and the Sergeant sank down in achair and mopped his brow. What do you know about the weather?“ asked the Lieutenant sarcastically. ‘‘I’ve ot a pug dog that knows more than you “Yes, I know, Live heard of him, and it ig ‘*Don’t interrupt me, but answer my ques- tions.

Opportunities Such as Were Never Before Offered the Toilers for Intellectual Ad- vancement—How They Are Shown the Worth of Fdacation and Given a Chance to Develop Whatever Latent Talent Is in Them—Two Clubs With a Large Member- ship Now Established. HE movement be- gun by the Ethical Society to establish self-culture clubs of the workingmen of St. Louis has been meeting with such success that withina couple of years two clubs have been or- ganized which are permanent institu- tions and of wide- spreading influence for the intellectual elevation of the poorer classes. Something about these clubs and the manner in whiek they are most heipful to those who have never hadthe advantages of an education will be found most interesting. The Workingmen’s Self Culture Club was organized about two years ago at the sugges- tion of the Ethical Society, for the purpose of bringing greater facilities in higher education among workingmen and their families. It is made as the very basis of the methods adopted in carrying forward the undertaking, that strict neutrality should be observed on the social question, as weil as on the issue of religion. The one aim in the organization was to open greater opportunities for personal self-improvement among that class of honest and serious men and women who have neither the time nor the means for expensive forms of diversion or recreation. MEMBERSHIP. The club does not consist merely of a com- mittee; it hag been organized with constitu- tion and by-laws, so that persons who wish to enjoy its privileges may become members if they desire to do so. tthe sametime it is a feature of the whole undertaking, that all its educational ente.tainments and reading- rooms, are made entirely free without dis- tinction as to members or non-members in the use of the rooms. The club wishes to feel that itfs an educational force and influence throughout the entire community of working- men. It desires their interest and co-opera- tion; but it asks them to join it oniy in so far as they may personally desire to do so. What the members supremely care for is to encourage their fellow-workingmen in this new direction of higher education. When any one comes to the headquarters they are given circulars, the programme of leotures, the reading matter and a membership biank. They can read them over and join if they would like to do so; but the regular members wish to have ft distinctly understood that they care, principally, to have the work grow in ite inflaence. While it bears the name of being under the auspices of the Ethical Society, its only strict connection with that organization ts an article of the by- laws which provides that the lecturer of that society shall be ex- offlelo member of all the Executive Committees, but hold no other office. He has given his pledge not to use the club as a means for teaching his own personal views on religion to its members. He is there — 7 to give suggestions and encour - tin the educational work and to do his tto see that the club stands strictly by its own principles and purposes. In all respects he has only one voice like all the other mem- bers of the Executive Committees. This con- nection was deemed advisable because the club would be thereby associated with a 0 al in ite efforts, and on non-religious a lous basis. 24 n rn „ a” ¢t. „ . 7 .

The club has been able to secure some of the most educated men in the city to cone to the rooms Thursday and Friday evenings, to give taiks on their special branches, history, travel, natural science, art, literature, etc. The professors of the university, and teachers in the public schools, have been most cordial in accepting such invitations. The lectures on travel and history are usually illustrated with the stereopticon;and as they are often given by men who have been on the ground, they are both interesting and valuable. As one memberof the «lub expressed his feeling at one time, ‘‘it was al- most like making ashort trip to Europe to sit there for an hour and view those pictures and hear the descriptions. This may be an exaggeration, but it undoubtedly expresses a truth. At one of the lectures on natural science where the subject was the ‘‘Wonders of the Microscope,’’ the speaker for the even- ing brought with him quite a number of the instruments, and all those present were able to look at the objects under the microscope, while be was giving bis lecture. The members have not simply been re- stricted to what they could do at their own rooms; they have also been able to arrange interesting excursions to objects of interest in the city. For example, they sought tne privi- lege of visiting the astronomical! conservatory at the university. The professor who bad charge of that department cordially acceded to their request; they were able to go in sec- tions in the epring and look through the tele-: scope in the evenings at some of the most in- teresting objects in the heavens. The instructor was there to explain them to them, and those who went expressed themselves as delighted. Then they have organized excursions to the Art Museum. They have made the arrange- ment on the evening of a lecture at the read - ing-room. On the following Sunday after- noons they have gone in a group of forty or fifty workingmen with THEIR SISTERS OR THEIR WIVES, and have spent an §our or two together look- ing at the pictures, and seeing a multitude of interesting objects. They have been met on such occasions with some one connected with the university, who bas taken them about the galleries, pointed out the more Interesting pictures and what there was especially at- tractive about them, ard also explained the beautiful work in porcelain, handwork in iron, old wood carving—all being matters of special interest to workingmen. The club has now set apart one evening each week for the working giris of thecity. They are having lecture courses for them of the same kind as the ones given Thursday and Friday evenings. They, too, are organiz- ing themselves with a committee as a branch of the self-Culture Olub, and will probably take up the same kind of literary work, Some of them who are working in factories have expressed themselves as much interested in the undertaking, and appear eager to have this special opportunity. There is a piano at the rooms, and the club arranges on their even- ings for songs and £€ music of various kinds, along with readings and a lecture. They are using the club’s reading matter, and taking their ks from the library, and appear to be showing both interest and enthusiasm. A Club Election. At the last meeting held by the Germania Entertainment Club at Ninth and Franklin avenue, the following Officers were elected for the year 1690: President, A. Siegel; Vice- President, R. E. Power; Treasurer, I. J. Har- ris; Secretary, H. W. Damme.

JOHN R HARLOW’S PLAN WITH REGARD TO APPOINTMENTS. He Was Selected for Fitness and He Will Apply the Same Test in Selecting Sub- ordinates—The Patronage at His Dis- posal and Probabilities Regarding His Action—Mr, Harlow’s „Friend.“ OHN B. HARLOW, nominated to be Postmaster of St. Louls by the Presi- dent yesterday, in- tends to fill the places in the office he will have to fill with men selected for their fitness, It is not at all likely tnat any positions will be given to persons who bave not had experience in post- office work, and it is not probable thas many changes will be made. There are forty-two places that tne Postmaster has the right to fill, but few of them are of exceptional value. . The Assistant Postmaster is appointed by the Postmaster-General on the recommenda- tion of the Postmaster. This position is now held by Est!l McHenry and has attached to it a salary of $3,000 per year. It is understood that David Hays, the present cashier, will take this place. He is a son of ex- Postmaster Hays and 4 brother of Charles M. Hays. He was appointed cashier by his father and has heid the position under Postmasters Wells and Hyde solely on account of his ability. As cashier he receives $2,400. There have been no sugges- tions as to his successor by the friends of the Postmaster, but if Mr. Hays is promoted his successor Will need to be very expert and act- ive to hold the position creditabdly. The Assistan; Postmaster gives the Postmaster a bond of $40,000 and the cashier is bonded to the Postmaster in the sum of $20,000. THE POSTMASTER GIVES A BOND of $200,000 on the postal account and $175,000 on the money order account to the Govern- ment, and is responsible for all losses of funds on hie bond. So he requires of all his subordinates who bandle money that they shall furnish bondsto him. Beside the Post- master the only other persons in the office who are bonded directly to the Government are the carriers, and * are appointed sub- ject to the provisions of the eivil service law, and can only be removed for cause. The Postmaster appoints a private secre- „ who has a salary of $1,200. This position is ot n filled by a close friend of the Postmast also appoints: an Ass t Cashier, salary $1,200; bond, A Superintendent of Money Order Division, $2,200; bond, $10,000; Assistant Superintendent of same, ‘salary; $1,400;+ bond, $5,000; International Teller of same, rorya $1,500, bond sal ents of Stations B,D and E, salary $1,000, bond $3,000. Onecierk at Stations A, B, C, salary $900. One clerk each at Stations D and E, salary $600. A box cierk, salary $1,000. A weicher of second-class matter, salary $1,100; two assistant weighers, salary $800. Four porters, salary $600 each; one porter, salary $500. Three watchmen, salary $600 each. WHEN MR. HYDE BECAME POSTMASTER the superintendents of sub- stations, and all the superintendents of divisions in the main office. Among the men relleved by him was John H. Cookson, Super- intendentof the Registry Division. As Mr. Cookson was a very efficient officer it is thought he will be reinstated. A friend of the newly appointed Postmaster said this morning: ‘‘I have not talked to Mr. Harlow about the offices directly, for 1 know him too weill to think he has made up his mind on that matter. He believes in attend- ing to hls own business, and the business of the Postmaster has not become his. But 1 also know that he will not appoint any man for ‘political’ reasons. He will have no regard for what is generally known as ‘good politic«.’ Fitness and good character will be the principal tests |with him and I'm afraid that an indorsement ot any man by the local Congressmen or politi- cians would hurt his chances of appointment by Hariow. Ithink he will make no changes for several months after he takes charge and the appoint ments I expect to see will be Dave Hays, Assistant Postmaster; Gus Schmidt, Private Secretary; John H. Cooke son, Superintendent of the Registry Division, and changes in the City Division that will im- — that branch of the service. I do not tuin he changed THE SUB-STaTIONS will be touched for some time, and when they are, clerks in the Post-office will be placed in charge of them. Hitherto the Con- ressmen in the several districts have been permitted to name the —— — of those stations, but if that rule prevails under Harlow I Sal be very much surprised. There has been much discussion as to who was Mr. Hariow’s friend. An absurd story is told f Mrs. R. C. Kerens’ efforts on benhaif of Mr. Harlow, she being an intimate friend of Mrs. Harlow. The story lacks all basis. The truth is, Mr. Harlow had every St. Louisan in Washington fur him when it became known that none of the candidates mentioned coulda get the appointment. His name was first mentioned there by Oongressman Kinsey, who been by 4 Louis to advocate St. That was some time . When friends in St, Louis learned of the -lock as to the Candidates they wired all the com- batants In Washington, and the President, that Harlow was the man. WELLS H. BLODGETT, General Solicitor of the Wabash Raliway, was probably the most active and urgent in this message sending. e ad only to mention the matter to other friends of Mr. Harlow, companions of the Loyal Legion and comrades of the G. A. R., to enlist them in the cause. Mr. Harlow’s record as a soldier, a postal employe, and his worth as aman wasso weil known to them that there was no hesitation about indorsing him. The best part about it is that he did not make an application for the oo, and asked no one to indorse him. Yet he wen. „ Word to the Wise Is sufficient.’’ The dry goods merchants advertise their wonderful bargains in this issue of the Post-DIsPaTCuH.

HE following letter was received here to-day: CORNELL UNIVER- - SITY, ITHACA, N. &., Jan. 14. 1 street, DEaR SIR-—I write you once more to see if there is really no chance for a race between Yale and Cornell. We ein- cerely believe that we havethe fastest university eight in America, and we are desirous of meeting a worthy foe and set- tling the question. We believe that the races Yale has won put her in sucha position that she isin honor bound torecelvea challenge from a crew with Cornell’s record. Moreover, we offer to row your distance of four miles on your own course and at such a time during the week of races as will be convenient to you. Heretofore you have not found it at all trying to you to row two races in a week, and Cornell by defeating Pennsylvania so de- cisively last year would seem to merit as much consideration as has been shown to Pennsyivania in the past. Hoping that you Will see fit to reconsider your intention as ex- pressed in your letter of December 13, Iam, yours very truly, O. J. SHEARN, Commodore Cornell University. Comiskey and Robinson. The rupture between President Von der Ahe and Secretary Munson seems to have deter- mined Comiskey in his course. He will now sign with the Chicago Brotherhood club, he states. He intended calling on the Browns’ resident yesterday, but when he heard how lunson had been received he deter- mined to have nothing to do with him and to sign with the Players’ League, where all his sympathies have been. It is said he would have signed before were it not for Secretary Munson. Comiskey rece.ved some jalmost incredible offers from National League clubs, but refused to consider them. Secretary Frank H. Brunelilof the Players’ League has returned to Chicago. Hesays he has Robinson’s promise to play in Cleveland with the Players’ League there, providing he cannot get a place on the Brooklyn Brother- hood team. Slattery s Denial. By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPATCH. New Tonk, Jan. 16.—A rumor has deen ecattered about town that Mike Slattery in- tended to sign another contract—this one with the New York National League Club. The report was a companion te the O'“ Day fake. Slattery was met by a reporter yesterday and paid: ‘‘It is true thatI have had talks with Mutrie but what I told him was in the nature of frivolity, much the same as the contract he signed with the Brotherhood. [ have no idea of signing another contract. You can say thatl am glad I signed with the players and ro them is where you will find me playing all. Base Ball Chat.

Fred Carroll has signed a three-years’ con- tract with the Pittsburg Brotherhood Club and subscribed for $1,000 of the stock. Pitcher Mickey Welch will probably not bea very great gain for the New York League Club, as he is getting old and stale. President Pennypacker says there will be idgewood Park, notwith- standing all reports to tho contrary. Tom Burns,the right fielder of the Brooklyn team, of the Nationa! League, is entered for the Newark amateur billiard tournament. Washington and Indianapolis will not be in the League next season.

Fred Khoblock is a workman employed in the steam laundry run by Hicks & Bright at the above number. About 8 o’clock one of the belts leading to the wringer became disengaged. Knoblock was called and endeavored to replace the shaft withoutstopping the machinery. The belt became fastended and the wringer flew to pieces, scattering the wood and iron about the room and deluging the Inmates with a flood of bot water. A Molt struck Knobiocg in the left jaw, breaking the bone.

ROMAYER’S SCHEME TO SUPPLY NOBLE- MEN WITH CALIFORNIA HEIRESSES. — —— ‘*The Iuterustienal Bureau for Private Transactions’*’ of San Franci*co—Swap- ping Dukes for Ducate—A Bait Which Impecunious Noblemen Swallowed—Hun- gry Applicants—The Schemer’s Flight. By Telegravh to the Post-DitspPatcn. SAN FRANCISCO, Oal., Jan. 16.~Tne leading newspapers of Germany, Austria, Holland, Hungary, Belgium and other European coun- tries contained advertisements last month to „ gentlemen of position, noblemen, eavaliers and Officers of high standing,’’ offering to ‘*supply California heiresses worth $20,000, - 000.” The advertisement was signed The International Bureau for Private Transac- tions of San Francisco.’’ One hun- dred and twenty-seven letters addressed to the bureau were taken from the San Francisco Post-office last week by a man who gave the nameof Ludwig Von Romayer. The post- office clerks asked so many questions that the man became alarmed and did not return for more letters. He was traced to San Jose, where be has been found and interviewed, His name is Romayer, but he has acquired fame and misery under the alias of Ludwig Von Romayer, head of the ‘‘International Bureau for Private Transactions.’’ Romayer is a small, sharp-eyed blonde, with a oristiing red mustache, florid compiexion and pompadour hair. He appears to be 80 years of age, dressed well and speaks rapidly, with a strong German accent. Mr. Romayer assured the reporter that his scheme of swapping dukes for ducats was all a joke, but he feelingly de- clared that the funny aspect of the joke did not appear with.the hilarious distinctness originally expected. Not long ago, said Romayer, ‘‘ when the papers were full of the Hatzfeldt-Huntington affair, Iwas visiting at the house of some friends, prominent society iadies of San Fran- cisco. In a spirit of fun one of the ladies proposed we should get up some scheme to furnish ourselves with a little amusement. There were seven in the party, two married ladies and four single. The result of the discussion was that we agreed to share the expense of advertising in the papers of Austria and Germany for marriagebie offi- cers, military or civil, who might care to wed California heiresses. We rightfully believed that by stating he women here were worth up to $20,000,000 it would bring out applications from men of high standing in nobility. We proposed when we should hear from the par- ties to forward them photos of American actresses who are recognized for their beauty. If we received any photographs in return we proposed to have a good laugh over the whole thing, and perhaps would eventually bave given correspondence and pictures over to one of the daily papers.’’ „What are the names of the ladies who were with you in the scheme?“ asked the reporter. THE LADIES IMPLICATED. „Not for $10,000 would I divulge their names,’’ replied Romayer. ‘‘I am in trouble now, and I propose to shoulder all the respon- sibility and protect them; but, again, [@wear that we never, as has been implied, tried to make money out of this affair. Whenl re- eeived the first batch of letters from Europe, about two weeks ago, I went tothe house of one of the ladies that we might enjoy the cir- cus. She sent messages for the other ladies who all came around that evening, but, womanlike, they each brought from one to half a dogen friends. Itis no wonder thething leaked out. We opened the letters—nearly a hundred of them from all parte of Europe. I must tell you that my friend there to whomI sent $147 fur advertising purposes did his work well. There were three letters from prinees and sixteen from dukes. Barons and marquises were innumerable, and so were those from physicians and army officers. There were Only three photographs, one from a broken down Marguis, who tlaimed tobe an estate owner, but who had lost considerable money on English race tracks. Here is his picture,’’ and Mr. Romayer handed over a photo of a handsome, dark-compiexioned man with a magnificent ‘mustache and pointed beard. The joker also produced a letter written by the frst applicant for an hetress, but he care- fully persisted in not letting it go out of his bands and in not letting the reporter see the signature. A passageor two, however, were read, as they remained unhidden, and were written ine poor Enyzlish.

The accompanying letter in German, trans- lated by Mr. Romayer, assured the reader that he could not possibly get ulong with an Amer- can wife unless she had an income of $6,000 annually. ‘*He is a big physician, well known in Ber- lin; Lremember him well, Romayer said. The third photo was that of a youthfal, but bright looking man. He ie a Prince, Mr. Romayer said, and, translating again from a German letter with the photograph, it was learned that His Highness would be satisfied with some Ameri- ean woman with $250,000. He would take less, however, if she was pretty. „„How many letters have you got?“ asked the reporter, seeing a good-sized bundle on the table. Romayer smiled, and opening the package showed some eighty or ninety envélopes ad- dressed in different handwriting to the Inter- national Bureau of Private Transactions. They were of many and queer, shapes, a score of them being sealed with red wax, on which was stamped some coat of arms. An endeavor was made to get some of these letters, or at least some of the more prominent coats of arms, but the suggestion blanched Mr. Ro- mayer’s cheeks. „„As it is, said he, ‘‘I will not be able to set my toot in Germany for years. If I give you letters for publiestion I'm sure a dozen nobiemen would commit suicide from their disgrace and another dozen would pack up and getrightout here to seek personai revenge on me. That would be just as bad. In the old country it is not like it is here with the no- bility.

DEATH OF JOSEPS G. LODGE, The Well-Known Lawyer Passes Away at His Home on Mississippi Avenue, Mr. Joseph G. Lodge, one of the ablest law- vers atthe criminal bar in this State, died lait evening of pneumonia at his residence, 1827 Mississippi avenue. His sickness was brief. On Friday last he was attacked by la grippe, but attended court and tried a case. He became very much worse that evening and sent for Dr. Robert Luedeking. Later Drs. Dean and Kier were calied in. Despite all the physicians could do, however, the disease developed into pneumonia in its most severe form. For several days past Mr. Lodge’s condition has been critical, Yesterday morning he became unconscious, and about 5:30 o’clock inthe eyening he passed away surrounded by his family. Jos. G. Lodge was born in Camden, N. J., January 27, 1840. He wraduated in the law de- partment of the Michigan University at Ann Arbor in 1862. He entered the law office of R. R. Toms, Esq., of Detroit, and later prac- ticed with Judge Philip Emerson of Battie Creek, Mich. During bis residence at Battie Creek he was elected County Treasurer and Prosecuting Attorney, On October 24, 1868, he married Misa Mary 8. Saitor of New Jersey, by whom he had four children, After her death he was welded to Miss Kate Bertram, by whom he had one child. His second wife and all his children survive him, and ali were at his bedside last evening excenvt his eldest chiid, Lizzie, who lately married Mr. Geo. M. Mepham and is traveling in Europe. Mr. Lodge came to st. Louis im October, 1871, and soon acquired a reputation as an able and upright lawyer. Before long he had a lucrative practice and was generally recogniged as one ofthe ablest criminal lawyers in the State. He has been engaged in numerous murder trials. He was for several years associated with Chas. P. Johnson and John D. Johnson, but atthe time ot his death was associated with Joun A. Talty, acivil lawyer. Mr. Lodge had a host of friends and wags admired for his attainments by every member of the bar. A meeting ofthe bar willbe held Friday after- noon to take suitable action on hie death. The funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 2o’clock from his late residence, 1827 Mis- sissippi avenue. : In the courts to-day many a tribute was paid to the character oi the deceased. Gener- ous though they were, they feli short of doing ustice tothe man. Mr. Lodge had one of the indliest dispositions, so gentle toward the weak and troubled that it seemed marvelous that in the same man one should find in a con- test with powerful offenders so much deter- mination and such an unyielding sense of right. His firmnessasa friend and his non esty and determination were iliustrated dur- ing the gambDling-ring war in 1882, when, as the representative of the Citizens’ Associa- tion, he led the winning fight una powerful criminal combination. the Great Kock Island Route.

The dispute between the St. Louls stock- holders of the Brownlow Mining Oo. and the Denver people interested In the company was taken up in the Denver Mining Exchange yes- terday. The Exchange refused to appoint a committee to examine the company's books, and passedaset of resolutions to the effect that the statement of the case, coming from St. Louis, was born in malice,’’ ete., and without f undation, A number of the St. Louls stockholders were seen this morning, and they rex firmed the statements made in the POST-DISPATCH on 8 except that the com pauy had in te treasury 25.000 shares of stock instead of $15,000, and that this stock had been voted to President Batchelder at 40 cents a share, by the directors. At the same time the statement was made that the eompany was entirely ont of debt and making money. Since then the St Louis people interested have been unable to learn anything. They do not know whether the company hae a dollar in ite treasury or not, or whetber it is in debt. They do hot know what the developments have been in the mine, or whether the mill is now in operation. The representation had been madeto them thut if the usual water supply froze up there was a well under the mill with a never-falling supply of water, from which water could be pumped to ran thirty or any number of stamps. They now believe that this well existed only in imagina- tion, as the thirty stamps bad evidently not been run, newspaper references having been to only ton stamps. The action of the Denver Exchange is regarded as very unsatisfactory, Chicago have together expended developing and ¢équipping the property and have no information whatever as to its condition or promise.

LOUIS OF THE WORLD'S FAIR The Efferts of Chicago to Prevent the Ap- pointment ef a *pecial Cemmittee of the House of Represen'atives—St. Louis Indifferent on the Subject—Why Some Desire Postponement. NTEREST in the World’s Fair contest at the national capl- talis now centered on the House oi Rep- resentatives, the principal point in controversy at pres- ent being whether the queation shall be given to acommittee especially appointed to consider the mat- ter or shall be left in the hands of the Committee on Foreigy Reis tions. It had been supposed that there would be no opposition to the formatien of a special committee, and that the Committee om For- eign Relations would recommend such a dis- position of the affair, but not a little opposl- tion to the adoption of this course has arisen. CHICAGO ASKS TO BE FAVORED. From letters received trom Washiifgton it ie learned that the opposition comes prin- cipally from Chicago. An Illinois man, Hitt, is at the head of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee and is known to bestrongly in favor of Chicago. It is the general opinion that Speaker Reed would, inthe appointment ofa new committee, act as far as possible in the interest ‘of New York, and that in case such * committee is organized Buchanan of New Jersey, an ardent advocate of New York, will be its chairman. Tothis Chicago strenuously ob- jecta, and it is said tobe an open secretin Washington that, although nominally desir- ous of the appointment of aspecial commit- 7 tiem SF ee * — — L Shae ee eas fs 8 2 7 78 1 = ty OS he at TEED tie . 4 . 7 - _ >. ‘ / 4 ae — - - .

That city | recognizes the fact that a favorable commit- tee report Is a necessity to its candidacy, and that unless this is secured there is no chance of the oilty dy the sewer being chosen. The St. Louis delegates | are working for the appointment | of a committee, believing that by this means the claims of the different cities can be best brought before Congress and the advantages of each fully set forth, but should such a com- mittee not be appointed the opinion is tat | the interests of St. Louis would not suffer any | appreciable injury. ST. LOUIS AND THE COMMITTESS. The matter of the World's Falr location will not be settled anywhere but ou the floor of Congress, A report of the Committee on For- eign Relations, which was not formed for | any such purpose, wiil have searcely any effect on Congress, but will relegate | the entire matter to the House in committee of the whole. The St. Louis Representatives declare that they are stronger on the floor of the House than they can be in any fairly ap- pointed committee, and not afew of the mem- bers are rather desirous than otherwise that a report unfavorabie to this city,and secured by | individual preference, shall be made, as the band of the delegation will be very considera- bly strengthened by such action. In order that it may be made unmistakably manifest that this city desires nothing but | fair play, ite representatives are urging the appointment of aspecial committee, but as a matter of fact it is not considered a matter of much importance. ST. LOUIS IN READINESS. A matter that is being watched with much greater interest le a scheme for postponin the World’s Fair to 18%, Such a move would be distinctiy unfavorable to St. Louis, as it would deprive it of some uf the most impor- tant advantages that it now possesses. It should be remembered that this city is the only one in the race that has a site that will be immediately avatiable. The pov. erty of both New York and Chica- zo is@ well known. The former eity proposes to take partoftwo parks and buy the intervening ground. Options on this have not been obtained, and to sacnre it would bea work requiring much time and large expense. Chicagois in an even more unfavorable position, but St. Louls has its site in readiness, need not incur any expense in obtaining it, and can go to work on the buildings at once. The Chicago and New York men recognize the ad- vantageous position that St. Louis holde, as the possession of a site practically increases the fund at ite disposal $1,000,000, are arguing’ that there ie not sufficient time between now and the spring of 1892 to properly prepare for a World's Fair, and are urging its postponemeant to 1895, when they hope to be in a better ogy The St. Louis ad vo- cates argue thet the object of holding an international exposition commemornative of the discovery of America would be de- feated by postponement, and that if it is not held in 1892 it might as well be postponed to the next cen- tury. Without endeavoring to controvert the statements emanating from other Cities, to the effect that they cannot be ready in time, the St. Louis Gelegates declare that the city that they represent can have everything pre- pared in season, and strongly urge hat the fact that others cannot move 80 quickly should not be allowed to prevent the ceilebra- tion of the Columbus guadri-centennial. ‘‘DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER’’ The slaughter prices advertised by the re- tall merehants in this issue of the Posr- DISPATCH.

HAMMON’S INVES- TIGATION OF SUNDAY’S STORM ——ů—ů —Ä— 8 Service Men Arriving at the Opinion That Buildings Were Wrecked and Peo- ple Killed by a Squall—Some Facts Not Hitherto Neted—The Second Presbyte- rian Church Roof. HERE is a great big doubt in the dome of the Cus- tom- house. Sergt, Hammon of the Signal Corps is preparing his re- port of the storm ~£ which on Sunday p> swept over 2 portion of the , Se city destroying — — lite and property. = The storm is gone, many of its effects have been obliter- ated, and no person has yet been found who saw itin action. On Monday it was classed asatornado by the Signal Service people. That was before an examination of its track had been made with the care necessary to de- termine its character. Since that time the doubt has arisen. Was it a tornado? Sergt. Hammon does not think it was. Lieut. Day, who also investigated the subject, says the ear marks of a tornado are missing. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED that the storm’s damage began at Jefferson avenue and Rutger street. There are few in- juries to buildings observable in that vicinity, but numerous personal experiences with the wind proye it to have been very strong at that point. Beyond the overturning of a few chimney pots and tall smoke stacks no damage to buildings was done before the storm reached Seventeenth and Chestnut streets, where it unroofed the Good Shepherd Chapel. Its direction had been several points east of From the chapel it moved almost directly north. Its next exhibition of ferocity was on the steeple and roof of the Second Presbyterian Church, Seventeenth street and Lucas place. The cap of the steeple was lifted off and thrown through a house on tue east side of The roof was lifted and dropped back into Its place after all its tim- bers had been strained. The storm drove on, going almost true northeast, to Tenth and Mound streets. It took in its flight the steeple of Emanuel Lutheran Evangelical Church at Fifteenth and Morgan streets, Pius roof at Fourteenth and O’Falion streets, doors, windows and chimney pots along the line and crushed a house at 922 Mound street, where three per- sons were killed. s direction altered slightly after thatand it disappeared across the river. THAT 18 ITS COURSE as marked by the ruins. The storm was not erratic as to its directiom In a flight of over four miles across the city its course was on an almost perfectly straight line. There were variations of a few points at one or two places, but the general direc- tion was true. Draw a line from Rutger street and Jefferson avenue to the foot of Tyler street and you will see that it covers nearly — n building seriously damaged by the wind The investigation by the Signal Service ob- servers falled to uncover any evidence of a circular orturning motion inthe wind that caused the damage. As was stated Monday Lieut. Day found a house which had lost its north wall though the storm came from the the southwest. He at first took ‘this to de evidence of the passage of a tornado. The turning, intense wind had, he thought, created a vacuum on the north side of the house by its rapid passave and the interior air bad ‘‘exploded,’’ or ex- panding to fill the vacuum destroyed the wall. Other instances of damaged or broken walls not ON THE WIFDWARD SIDE of houses were found, but 4 all cases ingul developed the fact that a window or door in the windward side had been opened just before the destructien of the wall. Thon. too, no one could be found who saw the storm. Persons who, from their position, might bave seen it were either overcome by terror or so concerned about their property or families that they did not observe the storm. Some persons claimed to have observed it, but the Signal Service people discredit them on account of contradictory or impossible tate ments. A sailor of long experience and familiar with the law of storms, called at the Signal Seryice =} 6 oftice, He said that the storm was nota 1 * ® nado but what is called at sea a . He saw it in passage and notwithstanding its lu- tensity saw no turning or circular movement such as is peculiar to a tornado. LU DAY SAYS that the fact that the storm’s track was nar- row, thatall the damage was in well-defined limits and not genera! in the city seems to support the original idea that it was a tornado. Ther there are some peculiar features about he damage to the Second Presbyterian “burch. his root is very steep. low the apex of the roof timbers hich form the ceiling of the auditorium and brace the roof cross from side to side. Be- tween the ceiling and the roof there is un un- occupied space to which — is no entrance from outside the buildin There are no openings in the roof. Yet the wind lifted that roof from the church walls and dropped itagain. Yesterday the church trustees and an architect spent some time examining the roof and discussing the matter without com- e any conclusion. a tornado * over the church Sunday this might be the explanation, The swirling wind created aslight vacuum over the roof and so raised it. The wind lacked the energy to create a perfect vacuum and so the roof escaped destruction. But if there was not a tornado on Sunday another explanation of the damage must be had. Sorgt. Hammon wili write the report. He is at home to- “Gey with his sick child and so the report is delayed, Lieut. Day will prob- ably write a supplement for it, Sergt.

I took his word and what corroborative testimony I could get, and thus suc- A ceeded in throwing @ certain air ot probability around the narrative. But I’m always care- ful to discount the artistio tempera- ment in a story which appears to be too rich in pictorial ele- ments. I had an uncle onee who was a farmer, but he was something of an artist, tao— painted his own barns and now and then afence, wnen there was any paint teft over—and the artistic temperament would stick out of him. He was a terribie man to dress up a story to make it look well. He couldn't tell the truth even in his last will and testament. In that document he said that he left me $600, but the executors assured me that he must have taken it with him because they’d raked his farm all over with a fine- The Kind of Cut I Don’t Want. tooth comb and badn’t found anything on it but the mortgage. However, Verbeck’s story of how he got his haircutin Paris is strictly true. He took a run over there witha party dur- ing the summer and fall; it was in Septeraber, I believe, when the leaves began to turn, and the first breezes of autumn drifted into town and dallied with his tresses, that he decided to have bis haircut. So be put onan air of nonchalance, because that was the only air he knew the French name of, and sallied into a barber’s shop onthe Rue de Roue, or some other street with an equally ARISTOCRATIC NAME. It looked like a very extensivé shop. said Verdeck, in telling me the story; but you must always remember that no place in Paris is more than one-sizxteenth as big as it looks to be on the tirst glance, because they plaster the sides of a room all over with mirrors, so that whichever way you look you see six- teen sides of the apartment at once, which in- terleres with your estimate of how much me) it would take to cover the floor. n consequence of this prodigality of mir- there appeared to be sixteen times as many barbers as therg were, and, being somewhat embarrassed, picked out two or three who were only the reflections of some- body else before I got bold of one who had any real and useful existence.

It was evident that he didn’t know me any better than he did my native tongue. Just then an idea struck me with the force of an inspiration, I pulled out a little writing- pad and pencil and sketched an ideal French nobleman of the most stylish and unscrupu- lous character with his e hair cut in the prevalling style. e burber looked at it and cried: -Oul, oui.’ He had said that sev- eral times before, bat this time I had faith that the 3 of human intelligence was WNING IN HIS MIND. Then I seratened the 1 out with a gest - ure of high-minded disgust, and drew another head—my own, this time—and I made it as round and spiky as a horse-chestnut burr. Then I made a big hand pointing to this picture, and threw in one or two additional figures supposed to be regarding the round- headed gentieman with envious admiration. The barber went into such ecstacies of comprehension that I was afraid he would die and that I should have to do the thing all over again. But he revived inafew minutes and kot out his littl mowing machine. He weeded out the back of my neck very satis- factorily, so far as I could judge by the feeling of it, and then a business idea seemed to strike him, and he got around in front of me again and said, ‘sham- poo.’ It was such a relief to hear «a word which I could understand that I nodded my head and emiledina biahly 8 manner. Evidentiy he was afraid that might change my ming about it if he didn't grab his 1 gulekly, for he sus- pended the hair cutting process richt there, and pulled me out ofthe chair and over toa basin, where he shampooed me till I thought — he would wash the gray matter out of my rain. After this process was over he pulled me back to the chair again, and covered my head with a lot of grease, which he rubbed in till every hair stood up as straight as a flagpole. I said: ‘Hold on, you tonsorial, Parisian son ofa zun, ain’t you going to cut the rest of my hair?’ Evidently he prized this compliment highly, for he bowed with true Parisian politeness and said something which might have been equaily complimentary for all I knew. Then he bowed again; in fact, he bowed nearly ali the time. I grew quite in- in his bowing, because, every time he did it, I could see fifteen or twenty reflections pt bim inthe mirrors at the same time. i had never received that awount of homage before, and ITexperienced the pleasant satisfaction which comes to a good man when he at last ets his deserts.

Biddulph Martin and Sir Fran- cis Cook, Husbands of the Ladies, Ia dignant—Inspector Byrnes Involved. fpecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Jan. 16.— Mr. J. Biddulph Martin, the London banker and husband of Victoria Woodhull, is said to have hired a house in New York, and is going to institute suits for criminal libel against certain persons and papers for defamation of his wife and of her sister, Tennie C. Claflin, the wife of Sir Francis Cook. Sir Francis Cook, who, be- sides being a baronet in England, is known as the Viscount of Monserrat in Portugal, ts sad to have offered ae of $60,000 tor the dis- covery of the author of the reports about his family. Mrs, Martin is very indignant at the continuation of the attacks upon them by the American press, and consented to receive the PosT-DISPATCH correspondent at her mansion at Hyde Park Gate yesterday. She was very indignant. I there no chivalry left in Amerioa?’’ eK; claimed Mrs. J. Biddulph Marth, nee Victoria Woodhull. ‘This last attack by the American papers is simply atrocious. Here we are, two women, my sister Tennle and myself, hap- pily married and living In England, quiet, unassuming lives, and yet we caanot be left in peace, If these paragraphs only reflected the opinjons held by my sister and myseif and shared by many of the most foremost philanthropists, thinkers, aye, and even by Christians, to-day, we could bear the in- juries ig silence. My husband, Mr. Biddulph Martin, she continued, is Gonsidering the advisability of taking the strongest steps to put an end to the numerous and scur- rilous paragraphs appearing in the American papérs, from time to time, reflecting on my character and that of my sister Tennie. We had hoped that this scandaious virulence had subsided forever. But here comes a copy of a Brooklyn paper containing an article signed by Inspector Byrnes in which an alleged bi- ography of the Claflin sisters is given, calling us ‘charming adventuresses’ and adding incidentally that Sir Francis Cook, Tennie’s husband, is a doddering old imbecile. INTENSE INDIGNATION. f „Naturally, this caused intense indignation to us aad to our husbands, and the action that we have decided on taking you have prob- ably seen announced in the morning’s papers. I don’t want to draw attention to the position we both hold here, but the Eng- lish and French pavers dear witness to our constant endeavor to do good and even kind- ness to the sore and needy. Our position in society demands that an end be put to this persecution.’’ Lady Cook entered the room at this moment and joined her sis'er. Mrs. Martin con- tinued: ‘‘This is perhaps the penalty people must pay who are in advance of their times, but when we are called adyen- turesses and accused of having entangled | our husbands into marrying, and it is | said their relations disown us we are com- pelled to appeal against such cruel, pitiless attacks. Our names were associated: with Henry Ward Beecher at the time of his trial and his defenders assailed us as they did everybody that sided with Tilton. But that is nowastory ofthe past. Nearly all the people are in thelr graves who took ashare with us in that unfortunate affair, which share has been explained lung azo. We were prosecuted by the Government and acquitted without a stain on our characters. All the papers of America vindicated our honor and . de- nounced the unwarrantable proceedings and now we ask nothing but common justice from the American press for two true women, un- justly assailed. We wish that every paper would ve its columns till the deadly wrong done m ster and myself be righted. And we are ‘willing to stand or fall before the American public for what we have done, ask- ing only fair play. IknowthatifI went my- self to any reputable editorial room in Amer- ican Ishould get it. Ihavereason to believe that these perivdical attacks have been in spired by private malice. My husband has published a standing offer of $50,000 to an person, either in America or Europe, who wi tell conclusively who the people are ‘that stab us in the back in this cowardly manner. Here Mr. Martin entered and joined in the conversation. He is a tall, lender, full- bearded man of middle age, ‘and will ro- membered in América as delegate from the British “Association in 1884, Mr. Martin sald he felt at a great disadvantege in cerry to the numberless attacks incitea by motives of personal malice. „But if nothing else will serve, said be, | determinedly, ‘‘I will ineur ‘any incon- venience to obtain justice and redress.

The Unique Memorial of a Connecticut Widow. From the Boston Herald. A unigue piece of handiwork has just been completed by Mrs. Sophia Laramore of Water- bury, Conn., who is now approaching her oeh yoar. Itis a mortuary wreath in memory of her husband, who was dead nearly five years before the curious symbol was begun. She made it of relics of her late husband, and of articles which were the property of the wives who preceded her. The frame is of Patty, into which while soft the widow placed, among others, the following articles: In the center of the top cross piece are the spectacies of her late lamented and a small vial contain- ing thé pills which were left over from his last lilness. Besides these the Hartford Cow says there are many small stones which be had treasured during lite, his jackknife, a piece of candy, whieh she says he had left uneaten; buttons of all kinds from his old clothing, and a small bottle containin cheese made by nis first wife. All o this collection — labeled, as, for instance, ‘*The smelling bottle used by the wife before mo. Inclosed in the trame is a picture of bim whose memory the wreath is supposed to perpetuate. The wreath above the portrait is comp: sed almost entirely of flowers and leaves, cach of these made either of some portion of his coat, waistcoat, trousers, neck- ties or suspenders, and worked together ar- tistically. The shirtin which he died is bon- ored by having made from it a sbowy bird, too wonderful and strange for description. Just outside the wreath are placed suspender backles and watch ohains entwined with the hair of the mother ot hie first wife. Some of the hair of his own head has been made into tendrils, and the stamens of one of the flow- ore is of the material tbat lined the coffin. On another side of 8 wreath is a bunch of raisins he bought her the winter before he died, saying: Now don’t cook any of these, but eat every one. Balancing the raisins are three wires, each supporting one of his teeth, and behind them the last toothpick he ever used. » Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. —— | When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

Iron mines, granite quarries. The little village of Die- lette. Newcomers here, Capel, an engineer from Paris, accompanied by his wife and pretty daughter Suzanne. A poor place und unpretending, but the OCapels are not rich or pretentious. Suzanne only is proud. She has neither the taste nor disposition to associate with the vuigar bour- geoisie. Shall they remain and settle at Dielette? Grave question! Capel had been an unsuc- cessful man; all his grand plans at the metrop- olis had falled, his millions had been buta mirage. If he succeeded here he would have a few thousands—enough to live comfortably with at Dielette, fruit and vegetables to eat, cider to drink, @o toilets, no company. The country is superb, the spectacle of the ever- changing sea is glorious, majestic. One decided shadow on thepicture. Bu- kanne, how can she marry here? Husbands are rare at Dielette. | „Don't distress yourself about me, says she, with an enigmatic smile upon ber lips always exhibited when the question of her marriage Came up. Are you then already engaged?“ asks the father gravely. „„A month!“ cries the girl, laukning. ‘*You’ll not refuse me a month’s oredit, will you? Give me thirty days. You’ll seo. „It's Paul Verluise, says the father. „It's Comille Rochat; he’s rich, says the mother. „It must be Camille,’’ the parents decided after Suzanne bad retired, but would his wealthy father consent to a girl without a dowry? Camille certainly is the only one who could possibly sult Suzanne, with her proud ambition, her ideas of magnificence. II. CLANDESTINE LOVE. While the fond parents are discussing, the wise daughter in her room hastily unfolded the Figaro and under the head of ‘‘Personals read: ‘‘Arrive between 10 and 11 Wednesday evening. Camille.“ It was already 9:30. Suzanne waited, seated by her wide open window. Ali was quiet. One retires early at Dielette. How will he come? On foot? Ina carriage? At 10 o’clock she thought she heard wheels in the distance. No, astep. A traveler raises his eyes toward the window. Suzanne closes it quickly, removes her little boots, substituting slippers, slips softly through the corridor, softly down the stairs. The key turns in the lock without noise. He is inside. One arm she holds out to him, with the other closes the door behind her. „Suzanne! My Suzzane!’’ „Dear Camille!“ „My wife, my dear little wife. In deed if not in vow.’’ have come to demand your hand of your parents.’’ She threw her arms around bim in a passion- ate embrace. „Jam half mad with anguish. lcannot bear to have any one look at me. Every morning I feel sure they will discover our love.’’ „Ab, you have nothing to fear. Do not be distressed. I assure you that in fifteen days we will be married.’’ Has your father consented?’’ ‘‘He has nothing to say about it. The fact is I have startling news for you. My father is ruined.’’ x „What, ruined? Lost ali his money? Gone, every franc. Listen to the plans for our marriage. I shall be obligedto work. I can keep books. I shall receive 4,000 francs the first year, 5.000 the second. We will take a quiet little flat in Batignolles.’’ She was trembling. Her hand was cold as ic e. „What is it? What is ?““ cries the lover. She slowly asked: ‘‘And my father? Do you think my father will wish a ruined son-in- law?’’ She walked the floor, nervous, agitated, not striving in the least to hide her anguish andemotion. He gazed at her like one stupe- fied. | Let us confess all to him, dear Suzanne. Po you know how he would receive that confession?’’ Four mother, then, does she not enough so you can tell me the truth?’ „Soner die, cried the girl with terrible energy. ‘*Die?’’ les. : „Why, we love each other.“ She regarded bim for a long while in si- lence. „Give me time, she said. ‘‘Let no one know you have been here.

Later inthe day Suzanne looked into the depths of her own heart. She had desired wealth, a brilliant life, luxury, eciat. Ruined! ruined! a lamentable fate, an humble life with a poor cierk for a husband, a child to nurse—this instead of the rich marriage which bad been her life’s alm. Now the marriage must not take place. „Break the engagement, cost what it will.““ And ber father and mother, how would they bear the news of her shame? „Better die!’’ That word which she had spoken to Camille now imposed itself upon her as a resolution. To die! Silly girls had died for love; was it not nobler to die to escape the odium of an existence without beauty or dignity? Her ~ pe at this thought suddenly became tranguil. She had courage enough—the sea awaited her. Calm, clear. she thought of Opheiia. She stood on the pier looking a long time into the tranguildepths. . She was startied by the appearance of her mother. O0, mamma! De you love me? Do you love me very much, mamma?’’ IV. You haven't THE FIRST LETTER. Returning to the house and entering her room she hastily disrobed. She must die. Her youth revolted.

One must be generous as they approach their end. I forgive you, though I cannot forgive myself. Adieu.“ V. THE SECOND LETTER. She felt coldand she ran, trembling, but satisfied with herself. What heroine could have done better? Thedawh was breaking. She stood at the window and saluted her‘ ‘last day on earth. The town slept. Now to post the letter! It was but a sbort distance. She arrives at the box; she holds an instant that fatal message—her doom—between her thumb and fluger. The slight noise made by its slip- ping into its place seemed to pain her heart. Condemned! C'est ni! Before night I must be dead. She dressed herself with the greatest care, with coquettishness even. The act gave her courage. Soon there would be nothing left of the brilliant and audacious Suzanne but a oold, stiff body deprived of its soul. The mother, as usual, enters the chamber. Again the girl’s heart is touched. ‘‘O mamma, if you only knew how I loved you!’’ Suddenly she melted towards Camille. Had she not been cruel, unjust towards bim. „One must be generous as they approach their end,’’ she repeated to herself, remem- bering the closing words of her letter. She caught up paper and again wrote rap- idly, incoherently: „Camille, forgive. I have suffered so much. Don’t keep the other letter. I was not my- self. No, you are not the cause of my death. It is I. Ialone am the cause. I do not refuse the lite you offer me either from disdain or lack of love—I love you, I love you, mon pauvre ange, my poor angel, but, a girl like me either triumphs or disappears. disap- ear. . „Be proud, Camille.

Breakfast for her gave torment—to eat, drink, speak when addressed was difficult. The day passed slowly. What is that noise?’’ „It is the incoming tide.’’ Camille by this time has his letters. Jou are trembiing,’”’ said M. Oapel. Suzanne wanted to cry out. „Mamma, blessme. Give me your biess- ing. Iam leaving you forever. She feared toembrace her. She could not trust herself. She turned towards the door, opened it sud- deanly and went out. Her eyes obscured by tears she climbed the now deserted path. She standsonthe height. The sun cust its long rays. The low murmur of the sea is below. No one sees, no ons is near. Decidedly God wills it. She closes her eyes and utters a prayer, not for herself, but for her ee. She covers her face with her two hands, her fingers deep in her eyes. Slowly, the head high, she marches towards the verge of the cliff, guided by the vague murmur of the water below. VII. THE LOVER. Camille, his thoughts intent on the promise of Suzanne to write, counted the hours. If she writes Thursday I shall receive it Friday. It it ge'sinthe first distribution it will be here at 7:45.’’ Sure enouch, at 7:45 exact the brought bim two letters. „„La Chere Mignonne!

Willa, he tore open the second letter. ‘*‘Camille, forgive; I have suffered so much. He breathed once more, and thought he understood. Her parents had at first refused and she had thought ofdeath. They had re- lented and so she had written the second let- ter to reassure bim. Jou are not the cause of my death.“ He lost his head, again his legs failed him. Automatically he now read both of them through. A ray of hope since she had written a second letter after the first, perhaps her resolution may have bhanged as her feelings had.

New York, Jan. 16.—The steamer Orystal of the Arrow Line steamed up the North River yesterday afterastrenuous battle with tne wind and waves between Scotland and the coast of America. It was December 20 when the Crystal left the port of Leith. On the 29th she steamed out of Dundee. There are no ocean line steamers that lay their course as far north as do those of the Arrow Line. They out round the north end of Scotland and even in the summer go far to the north to get intherun of the downward flow of ice and thus be easily carried southward, instead of having to combat the current. Never have these steamers come into contact with any considerable flow of lee. The weather which has brought the grippe has brought surprises, too, for the mariners. **] have traveled between Scotland and the coast of North America—all parts of it—ever since I was a boy, said First Officer Me- Gregor yesterday, but I have never seen field ice in any such low latitude as we found it on this voyage. The record, as I have it set down in the log, will be of the greatest interest to the maritime community. We are about four days late on account f the joe. January 6, in latitude 47.60 north and longitude 51 west we met a medium sized iceherg. On the same day at 9o’clock, in latitude 58 degs. north and longitude 43.40 west, with air at a tempera- ture of 85 and water at 46, we met two small loebergs. January 7 at II a. m. we fell in with a large lot of heavy field ice, and at 11:30 with an iceberg projecting 20 feet above water. January 10 we fell in with heavy field ice and kept steaming through it at the rate of five and one-half miles an hour until late in the evening. At p. m. met a large iceberg 50 or 60 feet high about twelve miles away. January 9 we again met icebergs, At go“ elock there was a burri? cane from the northwest, high head seas and heavy snows, which continued to midnight. The cold wus 80 intense that the pole compass became frozen. The men at the wheel had to leave the wheel- house and go to the wheel be- low decks. A good share of the time the wheel was incased in ice. The voyage has been the most severe one I ever knew. **‘Whbhat was the nature of this field of ice you met!’’ It was all this year’sand was, I should say, sixteen or eighteen feet thick. Uusually at this season everything is frozen solid to the north, and no field ice is known to come any- where near the latitudes we were in until along in Maren.

Remarkable Nerve Exhibited By the Yeung- est Victim of the Guillotine. „That man has recently witnessed a rare and infrequent sight, said a well known man abouttown toa New York Journal re- porteron Broadway, pointing to a foreign- looking man who was just going into the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The reporter approached the gentleman, who gave his name as George Herbilion, a well-known Parisian journalist. He left Paris about ten days ago. „Tes; Lhave witnessed a strange sight, and one I don’t care about seeing again,’’ he said, with a strong foreign accent. He then related the incident. He had seen the guillotining, about two weeks ago at Paris, of the youngest person who had fallen a vie- tim to the grim ax in Paris since the French Revolution. It was a boy of 18 who had suffered the awful unishment. His name was Georges Henri ‘caps. e had murdered his sweetheart in May last. At the trial for this crime it was shown that young, beardless Kaps at the age of 14 had assassinated an old man in a dark side street. When arrested for this last murder, boy — 2 he was, he threatened his guards with eat h. „I bave seen many persons die, said M. Herbillon. ‘‘I was in the commune in 71 and at the executions after it, but I never saw anything so distressing as the end of this young murderer. He was only a boy fit still for a mother’s caressing.’’ went on M. Herbillon, ‘‘but he displayed the most remarkable nerve durin the trial and greeted the verdict of death wit a smile.’’ When the officials camein tothe prison to announce that his hour came he showed no fear, though that moment he had expected a commutation of sentence. i He dressed himself without assistance. When a priest approached he motioned him to leave with a wave of his little hands. Afterward he gayly skipped to his place in the sad procession for the guillotine. When he arrived at the Place of the Ax’’ he gianced curiously at the few spectators. Catching sight of the dead-wagon that was pb is carry away his lifeless body he smiled sisibly. Standing beneath the glittering knife, the riest extended the crucifix to the boy’s lips, ut he turned aside his head.
