IN ALL SEASONS THE BEST. With what repinings—with what regret Now the poor exile sees his estate Out in the eold, the storm and the wet. Good resolutions on coming too late— What would he give for rest neath a dome, Broad enough, high enough to ~helter his all? Oh. yes, and what would he give for a home? Wishes, alas! are beyond his recall. But look at the brood, jolly brother, to-day Who takes by the forelock the time and the hour, His wisdom is tried; he knoweth his way; No precept of iron holds him in its power. Better to kindle the tiniest blaze, 2 it alight through hours of dark, Than to stumble on through devious ways With never a home-cheering rav or spark. Waste no longer mements precious. — — now: the iron is hot. Talk no logic, foolish, specious. Cast in all your life and lot. Never fooled Mac saint or sinner, Help he gives to all who ask. Easy for a new beginner; Making home is not à task. Only learn to keep your treasures Close together—children, wife— Bound by bonds of love, all pleasures, All that’s dear to you in life. Then you'll vaiue home more truly, Learn to seek to do, to pian. Every day do joys come newly oa calm, contented man. What can content a man more than to know that he is making a home for wife or children? Let whatever chance befall his home is there. and it takes little to keep it with McNichoi’s plan, the easiest banking system ever known. Begin with the new year and put by each week fur home.

A WALL STREET RUMOR, The Bank of England to Issue Silver Cer- tificates. New YORK, Jan. 21.—There was a rumor in Wall street to-day which, considering the discussion of Secretary Windom’s silver proposition, occasioned considerable com- ment. Messrs. Zimmerman & Forshay an- nounced that they had received advices from London to the effect that the Bank of England is about to exercise its right, never hitherto asserted, to use silver to the extent of one- third of its reserve, and issue £1 notes in silver againstit. The dispatches also say that the bank had purchased 3,000,000 pounds of silver bullion in expectation of action. There has been a great deal of silver talk for the last few days which, with the recent heavy shipments of bullion to England and the advance in price, bas occasioned more or less speculation. The larger foreign firms on the street, while they declared that they had received nothing confirming the rumored action of the Bank of Englaud, said that such a step was by no unlikely; on the contrary, many ns why would be advantageous to England. One banker went so far as to say that if the Bank of England should exercise this right there would be such a period of speculation and eneral inflation in the country as has not een experienced since the diecovery of gold in California. Mr. Forshey said that he was confident that the dispatch which he received was wellfounded. ‘‘There have deen, he continued, ‘‘very heavy exportations of silver to England recently. the last shipment being last Friday, when we sent over 200,000 ounces. I think, however, that our dispatch intended to say thatthe bank had accumulated 3,000,- 000 ounces, or about $3,000,000, instead of » £3,000,000. But the former is avery large sum. I believethat, should the step toward silver certificates be taken in Engiand, it willhave been taken merely in anticipation of Mr. Windom’s pien. Not alone this, but it will bea great advance to- ward the establishing of bi-metalism and an international currency. Forthis fact is in- dubitable, that England and the United States control the money markets of the world. It England should follow our example and adopt silver as the basis ofa part of its circulation, France, Germany, and, of course, other countries of Europe could not fall to follow the lead.’’ * HIS FATHER WILL HELP HIM, His Son’s Scheliha to Pay Debts. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aren. New Tonk, Jan. 21.—Adoilph Bernstein of No. 188 Bowery street received a cable yes- terday from Baron Von Scheliha requesting him to pay the depts of his son—Joachim Charles Von Scheliha—confined in Jefferson Market charged with eluding a board bill at the Madison Park Hotel, and to get him out of the trouble. The message also announced that money had ‘been sent and would arrive in due course. Mr. Bernstein said that he bad been away in the West or the young man should not have got into a diff culty ofthe kind. He had frequently lent him money when the remittances from the other side had not arrived in time, and it was always promptly ald d the Baron. He knew the Baron, had met bim in Paris and Baron Von Brussels, and always found him an honora- bie, highminded man. He appeared to be wealthy, for he lived in good style. He owned acastie not far from Brussels, with extensive grounds, and had all the surroundings of a man of plenty of means. He,had only heard of the young man’s scrape of getting to Al- bany on Sunday on his way home. He cabied the Baron at once and got the rep mentioned. He hopes to get the you out of prison this morning by paying debts and seeing that he gets @ good start in life.

ANNIE FRANE- EL’S baby has been returned to her by order of Judge With- row made this morn- ing in Court-room No. 8 When Mr. Paxson filed his pe- tition for a writ of habeas corpus yes - terday Judge With- y row did not hesitate 1 2 long in ordering, & „„ writ returnable this 10 o’ clock, and permitting the mother to nurse her child between 4 and 4 o clock tnat evening. This morning the court - room was crowded with spectators expecting to witness a dramatic scene such as was enacted at the Third District Station when the Ohief of Police took the autnority to order the child torn from the mother’s breast and given to the father, knowing nothing of the facts in the case at the time. Such ascene Was not repeated, however, this morning. The ps me mother, a girl not more ars of age, quiet and pre- was in court with her attor- mney some minutes before the Judge ar- rived. She sat within the bar railing and watched the door. Mr. Frankel had not arrived. After hearing several motions Judge Withrow called the case. Mr. Paxson said his client was in court, but the respondents were in default. He then said that the summons hed been served on Mr. Frankel and his brother vesterday evening and he knew of no reason why they were not in court. Withrow asked him to‘ readthe Sheriff’ turn, which he did, and an entryof d was about to be made when the court DOORS OPENED SUDDENLY and Mr. Walter McEntire rushed if almogt ont of breath followed by Nathan and Irwin Frankel. a ‘*‘Weare here, if your honor please, he gasped. Where is the child?“ the Court asked. The child is in bir.’ Frankel’s home. I have here acertifcate from Dr. Thomas O' Rellly which willexplaig its absence.*’ He presented etter tothe court written by Dr. O Reilly, in Which he stated that the baby was suffering from pneumonia and dysentery, and Ktaker from her present quarters and 3 1: a close, unhealthy court-room it mig prove fatal to her. On hearing this r. Paxson said he did not care to press the respondents to pro- duce the child as the mother was es desirous of protecting the baby asthe father was. He did think, however, that, as the baby was mother’s care, and hoped the Court would make an order piacing the child in the custody of the mother until the case was decided. ‘*‘Ifthechild is sick it certainly needs a mother’s tender care,’’ said the Judge. „I hope you will make no order ofthat kind, your honor, said Mr. McEntire, as the doctor has reasons why the mother should not nurse the child. Iwill put the doctor on ethe stand to prove that the mother is nota proper person to care for the child and should not nurse it. **It is a presumption in law, said Mr. Pax- gon, that a mother is the proper person to have the cate and custody of her offspring mntil she is proven to the contrary.’’ ne might prove that,’’ interrupted Mr. McEntire. And right here, continued Mr. Paxson, **‘T mixht inform the court that the respond- ents bave so far disrespected the order of this court as to abuse and assault the mother when she called at Mr. Frankel’s house last evening. She had to sithalf an hour witii the respondents ening her, and they drove .her from the house before her hour was up. 4A lady friend who accom- panied her was refused admission to the premises.’’ „1 must deny that story,’’ remarked Mr. McEntire. THE MOTHER GETS THE CHILD. „„We will settle this matter as quickly as ssible,’’ remarked Judge Withrow, ‘‘and will make an order granting the mother custody of the child until this case is decided, and will set the case for trial at 2 o’clock to- worrow afternoon.’*’ The little lady was beaming with happiness when she heardthis and lost no time in get- ting out of the court-room. A lOST- DISPATCH reporter asked her how she had been treated when she called to nurse her child yesterday evening; she said: found the baby very sick and took her in my arms. Mr. Frankel did not want to let me have her at all He began cursing and abusing me as soon as I took the child, and before half an hour tried to take ber from me. I pushed him with my knee, and he slapped my face. When Mr. Nathan Frankel saw this he said: „Take that d——d child out of this house, and get out of here yourself. Mr. Frankel took the child. and was still abusing me when I left the honse.’’ Mrs. Frankel was very impatient while telling the story, and when she finished she whisked around and almost ran out of the ‘building, taking with hera young man and her bosom friend, Mrs. Halle. They went to Druids’ Hall, where they were admitted, and she went to the sick child’s room immediately. She will not move the child to-day uniessa it ets better or if she is not abused beyond en- urance. Those who have seen the baby say it will hardly live through its sickness on ac- count of exposure and want of nourishment. possessing, ¥e- ault om Court of Appeals. This morning the Court of Appeals banded ‘down twenty-six decisions, of which eleven were aflirmances of decisions made in the lower courts. The most interesting decision in the lot this morning is that in the ease ot Samuel Alexander who was found guilty of selling lottery tickets and fined. His lawyer, Robert M. Goode claimed Alexander could not be imprisoned for not paying bis fine, but the judges at the time decided he was wrong. This is their ‘written opinion in the matter. They say: This is a proceeding by habeas corpus in which Samuel Alexander alleges that he is illegally restrained of his liberty in the jail ot the city of St. Louis by the jallor thereof. It appears from the pleadings, and it jis admitted to be true, that N was convicted under . two arate informations flied by the prosecutin officer in the St. Louis Court of Orimina Correction, in which he was charged with selling lottery tickets in violation of the law ofthe State. He was fined $25 in each case and it was also adjudged and ordsred by the court that he should stand committed until the fines and costs were paid. WRITS OF COMMITTMENT were issued, and in obedience to orders there- fn, the Sheriff of the City of St. Louls, arrested be petitioner and laced him in the city il in custody of the jailor. The petition aims that the order of judgment of the St. ulis Court of Criminal Correction committed im to jail, in default of the payment by him of the fines thus imposed and the costs of the prosecutions was unauthorized and not warranted by the statute and that for this reason his incarceration in thecity jall is illegal. The petitioner was tried and convicted under Section 1,567 of the Revised Statutes of 1879; which is as follows: Any person who shall eell or expose for sale or cause to be sold or exposed for sale enz lottery ticket * * * within the State * and shall be convicted thereof in any tar — shall for euch and every such offense forfeit and pay a gum of not exceeding SI. 000.“ eit is conceded that the St. Louls Court of the petitioner was 0 that the alty statute was pe ee riy recoverable under au indictment n r information, but the power of the court to —— its judgment by committing the pe- Sense with which od and the convicted by and imposed lover to jail in default of payment by bim is * used in other E NO LEGAL IMPRISONMENT 6 Ihe argument advanced 0 ‘petitioner is that wor 2 2 un used in this section Je not synonomous with the word ‘fine,’ as arts of the code of criminal | ure, and for that reason there can be of a forfeiture under n- payment aad — visio see, tatu of Judge | feiture have to be determined wa connec- tion in which they are used. ben used in connection the enforcement of they contemplate an which need punishment for a meaning of the word is equivalent to a fine. This has deen satisfactorily decided in Commonwealth vs. ghee (Ken- tucky), by this in State vs. Sellner and by the Supreme Court in State vs. Munford, where the forfeiture imposed by the statute is spoken of as a fine. It will also be noted that sec. 1674 of the revised statutes of 1879, which provides for the recovery of fines, penalties and forfeiture by indictment, treats them all as liabilities of the same character enforceable by the same criminal process. It results that the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, in sentencing the pris- oner, bas not exceeded its jurisdiction either as to matter, sum, place or person, and that ite process was authorized by law.’ This closes another loophole through which lottery ticket venders hoped to crawi and hereafter if fines are imposed and not paid, imprisonment In the City Jail is inevitable.

Stickney of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City Railroad called upon President Mayer and Vice-President King at the Baltimore & Ohio Central Building in the Interest of a new railroad clearing-house scheme he would like to see established in Chicago. He was able to present all the necessary details of the plan to Mr. King, but President Mayer could not listen to him long enough to give a decision. Mr. Stickney thinks he can arrange to huve the immense treight traffic coming into Chicago handled much more expeditiously and satisfactorily than at present. ifthe Baitl- more & Ohio receives a car for a Pennsylvania siding it must be sent over a network of lines in the city before it reaches its destination. Mr. Stickney proposes to have the yards of all the large railroad systems which enter Chicago built around a circular track outside the city. From this circular track other tracks are to radiate to each yard in its vicinity. Whenacaristo be transferred from the Baltimore & Vhio yard tothe Penn- syivania, for instance, it is sent from the Baltimore & Ohio yard down the rxdiating track tothe circle and moved around it until it gets opposite the track leading to the Penn- syivania yard. Then it is sent down to its destination with Mes ag time lost during the entire process. r. Stickney is endeavor- ing to get the big railroads which touch Chi- cago Interested in his plan. He left the city in the afternoon. Prospects of a Rate War. Rv Telegraph to the POST-Draratcw. KaNSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 21.—Said a way-up passenger department official of one of the St. Louis roads to-day: ‘‘This announcement of the Santa Fe that it will, on February 1, put on sale a $14 Indianapolis ticket, routed by way of Chicago, will make trouble the minute it looks as if it were going to be a permanent thing, The St. Louis roads will go back to the svstem we had here twelve years ago and an- terior to that time, when tickets from Kansas City to Chicago, by way of St. Louis, were on sale. At the Chicago rate there would be bar- rels of such tickets sold to tourists and mer- chants who wanted to visit both cities. None ofthe little passenger rate troubles had re- cently would bea marker to the one such a rate would create at once. We would getonly a $6.25 cut of it, but that’s a good enough rate to St. Louis if one has business enough“. Globe Shovel Em Out Sale.

DOOMED TO DFSTRUCTION., The Recently Rebuilt Town of Utica, III., Almost Destroyed by Fire, By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. OTTAWA, III., Jan. 21.—The little town jof Utica, numbering 2,000 people, which was 80 nearly wi out by fire last summer, was again visited by a terrible burst of flames this morning. The fire started at2 o’clock, burn- ing with great fury for several hours. The flames broke out in Coughiin’s barber shop at a few minutes before 20’clock and before the villagers were fully awakened, had spread with incredible rapidity, enveloping the entire business district. Bullu- ings that had replaced the ruins of a few months before burned like tinder boxes and in less than an hour the entire west side of Main street was a sheet of flames. The fire department, meagre and unable tocope with such a vast calamity, stood powerless and could do nothing but send to Ottawa and La Salle for ald, which could not arrive in time to save much that had been attacked by the flames, which were finally choked out at 5o’clock. Six new business blocks, erected upon the embers of the disaster of the last summer, lie in ruins. The more prominent losers are: Hazel & Co., Leonard & Co., D. Les Madden, K. W. Leland, B. E. Hanley and H. A. Cough- lin. The entire loss in building and stock is about $80,000, little or none of which id cov- ered by insurance. The fire isa terrible blow to the village, which was just renewing ites prosperity. . : — 12 F No Sater Remedy can be had for hs and Col gs. or any trouble of the as, than IT IS FAR TOO SEVERE. COMPLAINTS FROM FARMERS CONCERNING S8. LOUIS CORN INSPECTION. Not More Than a Quarter of the Corn Crop Has Been Sent to Market—A Great Rush Anticipated—St. Louis Losing Trade on Account ot Too Strict Inspection. ARGE as has been the amount of corn received in this market during the last two months, the probabili- ties are that a very much larger amount will come in before the Ist of March. Tue country elevators and the St. Louis commission merchants have both been iep making a careful investiga: tion of the situation, and 1 as close an estimate as pos- gf sible of the amount of corn > remaining in the hands of the tarmers. The result is the general conviction that the amount of corn on hand has been very much under- 70 estimated. LARGE CORN SHIPMENTS EXPECTED. A large dealer from Kansas who arrived in the city to-day, and was on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange, sald. 1 bave been very thoroughly over the corn belt of Kansas and Nebraska, and although I know from the receipts at the eleyators under my charge that there was a great deal of corn still in the hands of the farmers. I wae astonished on going to look for myself to find the great quantity still unshipped. It would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that the corn crop bas not yet begun to move. Fully 75 per cent of it is still in the bands of the growers, the greater part of it stacked up onthe ground, During the past week or ten days the weather has not been favorable, and shipments have not. been large, but as soon as good weather comes there will be arush of corn to market. WAITING FOR GOOD WEATHER. The farmers are generally very prosperous and can afford to hold tbeir crops a few months, but all, or nearly all, of it must be shipped by Marchl. Atthat time money is needed for the spring planting, and the corn will come with a rush. St. Louis ought to get the most of it, but the inspection has been so severe as to drive much trade away from this city.’’ O. T. Hulbert of Hiawatha, Kan., one of the largest elevater men in the State, who was on the floor, said: ‘‘The amount of corn still in the hands of the farmers is unually great, so great that I would scarcely dare make an es- timate. COMPLAINTS REGARDING INSPECTIONS. „There is no question that St. Louis is losing a great deal of trade that properly belongs to her by too severe inspection. This is partic- ularly the case on this side of the river. A month ago it was much worse, Scarcely anything received in St. Louis would grade No. 2, and there was practically no appeal, as Ihave deen credibly informed that the inspectors’ reports are invariably sustained. Things are better in East St. Louls, and I prefer to send my corn there, but a very great deal has gone to Philadeiphia, where inspection is very liberal. Here scarcely 50 per cent of the corn received grades No. 2, while in Philadelphia and Duluth the percentage is 80 or 90. I would rather send my corn here, but cannot under the circumstances. None is shipped to St. Louls and but a small proportion of what should be to East St. Louls This is not only my experience, but that of many others. There is no doubt that the inspection here is too severe and that it is highly detri- mental to the city.’’ A number of local grain receivers expressed the saine opinion, and an effort will be made to bring about more liberal inspection.

The arrangements have been made by these gentlemen with much care, as they are desiruus of appropriately entertain- ing Mr. George, who has won their admiration if he has not won all of them to the suppoat of the causes he advocates. Owing to the short time Mr. George can remain in the city—he arrives Saturday morning and must leave Sat- urday night at 8:30 o’clock—the reception will egin atio’ciock instead of 5:30 o’clock as previously announced. So many admirers of r. George are anxious to meet him that it was thought half an hour would be altogether too short atime for that purpose. Dinner will pe served promptly at 6 o’clock. All the gentlemen who dine with Mr. George will not be free traders, but some _ distin- guished protectionists, who want to kuow and hear Mr. George, are on the list. He is expected t say something well worth hear- ing. Mr. George is on his way to New South Wales to take parton the side of free trade in the coming campaign.

No Support to Be Had From London—The j Railroad Outlook Bright. Henry Clews says this week: The continu- ation of the mild weather has been hurtful that on the let of December the stock of an- thracite, at tide-water points, was 1,026,107 tons, compared with 652,126 tons at the same date of 1888, and 130,977 in 1887. This surplus is the more remarkable in view of the general activity of all the industries that are lerge consumers of coal. The unsettled condition of the London money market, on which the discount rate ranges unusually high, has also been an unfavorable factor; the more so as there is evidently a growing disposition in London to accommo- date the very large commercial demand at the expense of the wants of the Stock Exchange and the promoters of new enterprises, which are being created at a rate far beyond all precedent. The contract of the Rothschiids to supply Brazil with large amounts of money for the resumption of specie payments, is re- garded asa threatening element, in view of the present political derangements in that country. Under these circumstances, no support to the New York market can be rea- sonably expected from London. It is worthy of note, however, that the stock of gold in the six teading national banks Europe stands 42, 600, 000 higher a year ago, which is one favorable feature in the foreign situation. The railroad situation is, on the whole, a re- assuring one. A compliation of the net earn- ings of ninety-eight companies shows an in- crease of $24,500,000, or 16 per cent on the bual- ness of the first eleven months of 1889, as com- pared with the same period of 1888. The gain has been especially conspicuous in the case of the roads inthe Northwestern section of the country. The case of Lilineis Central, a rep- resentative Western company, deserves spe- cial attention, the net earnings of last year having risen to $2,400,000, and the company, while paying a 6 per cent dividend, having really earned 8 per cent for its stockholders, after paying fixed charges. There nas rarely been a period when the railroads were ina position more promising to the maintenance of uniformity of rates. The managers of the great Western systems show a dis- position to maintain harmony, and to adjust from time to time such dlffer- ences as may arise, upon a mutual policy of ‘‘giveand take, ratber than tofollow the old-time course of rushing to arms upon any and every provocation, with consequent de- moralization among roads not concerned in the original cause of the quarrel. The so- called Gentlemen's Railroad Association’’— which might have been more properly called „the Common-Sense Railroad Association’’— has at least accomplished this amount of good.

Leon Abbeti’s Message to the New Jer- sey Legisiature. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 21.—In his Inaugural message sent to the Legislature to-day, Gov. Leon Abbett comes out flat-footed in favor of ballotreform. Hesays that the best senti- ment of the country in all the States demands ballot reform and honest elections. The sys- tem which he strongly commends provides for the registration of every voter; absolute secrecy of the ballot; an exclusively official ballot with a prohibition of the use of any other; the setting aside of an elee- tion in any precinct whenever the courts shall be satisfied that the electors, for any reason, have been deprived of a fair oppor- tunity to express their choice at the ballot - box; the right of nowlnation by petition; a limitation of the amount which may be legally spentin or for any election and declaring the eiection void should this amount be exceeded by any candidate or any person acting for or in his behalf; the publication by every candi- date of an itemized statement, under oath, of alf moneys expended at such election by him or with his knowledge, and a failure so to do rendering the election void. 0 In connection with this last clause the Gov- ernor advises that the court should be given the power to compel the appearance of an person before it to be examined under oat concerning political expenditures, and also to require on such an examination the produc- tion of the books and papers of corporations and associations of persons. In fact, the bill advocated by the Governor includes all those features for which the most advauced ballot reformers have been doing battle.

Fiske’s Lecture Before the Franklin Institute. - By Telegraph to the PosT-D1sPpaTou. NEw Tonk, Jan. 21.—An interesting and in- structive lecture on ‘*‘Electricity in Modern Warfare’’ was delivered last evening by Lieut. Bradley A. Fiske, United States Navy, before the Franklin Institute. The lecture dealt d- rectly with the present condition of the sel- ence, the advance it had made in the past five years and the ways in which it is now actually used. Lieut, Fiske pointed out that five years agothe whole science was in a transitory stage; that only one war ship afloat was lit by electricity, and her plant was so defective and accidents from imperfect insulation 80 fre- quent that many people conciuded that the only effect of this vessel’s electrical equip- ment was to prove its impracticability. To- day, however, every war ship possessing any 8 to modern equipments is lighted y electricity. Theo lecturer dealt at some length with the various improvements made in electrical devices. He told of submiurine mines and the spar-torpedo. This last device was becoming rapidly a thing ofthe past. In the case of the lay torpedo he was of the opin- ion that little improvement had been made. The Symes-Edison and the Halpin- Savage, on the other hand, are much more effective to- day, be thought, than they wereafew years ago. He next took upthe military telegr@p>h service, balloon observation aug balloon pro- pulsion. Among the more recent applications ofelectricity to warfare, Ma Fisk spoke of the hauling of heavy guns by electric motors as auxiliary engines. Firing guns by elec- tricity he considered a great advantage over the old system, iffor no other reason than that the piece was tired at the instant the but- ton was pressed. This obviated the delay ih- cident to the lanyard and the primer between the actual pulling of the lanyard and the dis- charge. No subject of the evening was of more interest than that which had to do with electric communication between ships at sea. In the development of this practice Europe hastaken a prominent part. Recently ex- periments on this subject have been carried on extensively at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In these experiments a large dynamo was used asa source of power, and in one case the cruiser Atianta was converted into the largest electric macnet known, being wrapped with beavy wire through which the dynamo current was sent, while the iron tug Nina was made a receiver, she being wrapped with fine wire, having a telephone in circuit, Property Owners on Finney, Grand and Lucas Avenues.

About 6:45 o’clock this morning an employe of the Muldcen & Co. pork packing and pro- vision company discovered more fire in the smoke house of the company’s building at 207 South Main street than was bargained for. He turned in an alarm and the prompt arrival of the department prevented a disastrous conflagration. As it was the meat was damaged to the amount of $1,200 and the building, which is owned by the Connecticut Life Insurance Company, was damaged to the amount of $2,000. he stock of leather and findings, belonging to Otto Ettler and stored in the second story ofthe building at 209 South Main, was soaked by water, occasiniong a loss of some $500, all fully covered by insur- ance. An overheated samoke-house was the cause of the blaze. Run Away From a Cruel Father. The police had a pathetic case late yester- day, It was that of two little children, Emile Klatt, aged 11, and Martha Klatt, aged 10. They had been taken in, hungry and nearly frozen, by Hattie Flowers, a motherly old colored woman, who sought the assistance of the police in finding their father. The chil- dren said they had run away from a cruél father near Woodland, III., and had walked every foot of the way to St. Louls to find their brother. The latter wasfound at his home, 5326 Shaw avenue, and took charge of the chil- dren. The brother said all of the children had been forced to run away by their father’s cruelty, and that their mother had attempted to poison thefamily and had killed herself — she could not endure her troubles any ger.

THE PHILLIP’S BAYOU TRAGEDY. Old Tom Joues Held for the Murder of Leona Lee. Py Telerraph to the Poat- Darren. HELENA, Ark., Jan. 21.—Further particu- lars were obtained to-day regarding the Tom Jones tragedy of yesterday. The latest devel- opments show that the man Jones has been guilty of one of the foulest and cold blooded murders that ever ocourred in this portion of the country. Coroner Crawford of this city was notified late yesterday evetiing that the body ofthe missing woman, Leona Lee, had been found. He proceeded to the scene at once and found the body enveloped in some corn sacks and buried under a fallen tree, about three hundred yards from the house of Jones. A jury was impaneled, who after hearing the evidence returned a ver- dict to the effect that deceased came to her death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Tom Jones. The evidence against him, while of a circumstantial nature, is yet very strong and leaves no room for doubt as to his guilt. One woman testified that she had parted with Leona Lee while the latter was on the way to Jones' house. Shortly after the parting she heard a gun fired, but pald no at- tention to it, Another n who heard the shot testified that shortly afterwards he saw Jones, gun in hand, standing by the side of the fallen tree near the spot where the body . was subsequently found.

/ 1 SORED ANOTHER POINT. . 2 9 glint 7 we W YORK SIDES WITH ST. LOUIS IN THE j SPECIAL COMMITTEE , ms - A Clever Scheme of the Illinois Members to Commit the Chairman, Mr. Candler, Foiled by the Missourians and New Yorkers—A Sub-Committee Appointed to Fi the Time for Balloting. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 18.—The Special House Committee on the World’s Fair heid its first meeting this morning in the room of the House Committee on Territories. All of the members were present, except Messers. Hatch and Belden. Mr. Springer called up his resolution providing that the House shal! proceed next Thursday to select the site for the fair by ballot, and it was yt — — 1 . — Springer urged the importan - — on the proposition. He held that by its action in the Cannon resolution last week the House had virtually decided that the mat- ter must be settled as early as ssible and that the committee was practically under in- structions and was as much bound by them as if they had been formulated. He argued that the House could not} move in the matter until it bad first settled where the fair was to be beid. Mr. Hitt also declared in favor of the immediate selection of a site by the House and pointed out how delay jeopardized the chances ofthe fair. He said that the Commit- tee on Foreign Affairs had been working for some time on the fair bills and had practically completed the preliminary arrangements. All of the results of their work could be made use of by this committee, but the site should be first agreed upon. Mr. Flower thought thatthe date fixed for balloting on the Springer resolution (Thurs- day next) was a little too soon. He suggested that a resolution bes reported providing for debate inthe House next Monday—one hour and a half to be allowed for the presentation of the claims of each city—to be followed by balloting on Tuesday. Mr. Belden, at this point, expressed a doubt as to whether any fair could be held in 1892. It sbould be first settled that the Government would give money aid to the fair before an attempt was madeto sele t the site. This broughtthe Washington men to the fore with a strong objection. They con- tended that to adopt Mr. Belden’s course would result in the combining of all the other contending cities against Washington, which must rely on Government financial aid. Mr. Belden’sidea was that an historical celebra- tion could be held in 1892 to be followed a year later by the World’s Fair. The chairman’s attention was here calle@ to the language of the resolution under which the committee was appointed, which sperks of a World’s Fair in 1891, and the point was made that the committee had no alternative, and could deal with no proposition that did not concern a fair to be held in that year. Mr. Frank of Missouri offered a resolution that the Springer resolution (providing for balloting by the House next Thursday) be re- ferred toa sub-committee of three, with in- structions to report atthe next committee meeting. Subsequently the motion was modi- fied so as to make the Chairman of the full committee also Chairman of the sub-commit- tee and to have it report next Thursday. Mr. Springer said that if this motion was de- feated he would move to modtfy his propo- sition so as to have the debate in the House next Monday and the balloting Tuesday, as suggested by Mr. Flower. The New York memberstook alarm at this, however, as it was apparently the object of the Chicagoans to get the chairman to vote and ascertain | his views. The Chicagoans had calculated on Mr. Flower voting with them in support of his own proposition. This would leave the remaining three members present, besides the Chairman, in the opposition and compe) the Chairman to vote to breaka tie, and it was not regarded as desirable that the Chair- man sbould be committed at this early date. Bo when Mr. Frank’s resolution was put the two Chicago men found themselves alone in opposition, and it prevailed, so the Chairman was in- structed to appoint a sub-committee to con- sider the Springer resolution and report next Thursday, whenthe committee meets again. Later the sub-committee was selected as fol- lows: Chairman Candler and Messrs. Hitt and Flower. The committee decidedto hear no oral ar- guments respecting the site of the Fair. Then the committee instructed the Chairman to ask for permission to sit during the sessions of the House and adjourned until Thursday. HELD UP A TRAIN. The Bold Deed of Two Masked Men at Tu- lare, Cal. TULARE, Cal., Jan. 21.—The south bound passenger train was stopped this morning by two masked men seven miles north of here. The robbers climbed over the tender to the engine and compelled the engineer to stop thetrain. They then compelled the en- gineer and fireman to go with them and ordered the expressman to open the door. The amount taken is not known, but ru- mored to be several thousand dollars. The robbers made the engineer and fireman ac- company them some distance from the train. A tramp stealing a ride was mistaken fora train man and the robbers shot him inthe head. AFRAID OF THE GRIP. Walker Blaine’s Death Creates Great Ex- citement in Washington, George D. Reynolds, United States District Attorney, has returned from Washington. „Jou cannot imagine the effect the death of Walker Blaine had in Washington,’’ he said this morning. People did not pack their trunks and get out cf the city, but nearly every one looked as though he would like to do so. Everywhere I went 1 found Walker Blaine’s death discussed. I don’t know the truth, but the story told was this: The doctors had been intoseehim. They said he was getting on ‘finely and weuld be all right shortly. They put on their coats, went away, and ten minutes later young Blaine was dead. Every one was anxious, fearing that the grip might take him next. Had it been cholera that threatened, the people would not have been more frightened. Most extraordinary stories of sudden death from grip were told, and I am sure an exodus would have Leen begun before this if there was any ee known to be free from the disease. hat must the feelings of Wasninuton people be now that Solicitor General Chapman has died so suddenly?’’ The Rabbis. At the meeting of the Rabbis this morning at the Harmonie Cluba permanent organization was effected by the election of the following officers: Rabbi Sonneschein, President; Dr. Sale, Vice-President and Treasurer, and Dr. Berkowitz, Secretery. A circular was adopted which will be distributed throughout Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. It advocates the establishment of Hebrew Sabbath-schools for religious education wherever there are none. Gone Back to Carthage. Sheriff Pyatt of Carthage, Mo., came to St. Louis this morning. He will return home this evening, leaving in charge a young colored man named George Frazier, who is wanted at that place on a charge of betraying a girl. Frazier was arrested last Sunday afternoon by Detectives Dotzman and Fagan on receipt of a notice from Carthage of the issuance of an indictment against the man. Polly Stokes, 100 Years Old, Dead.

A Missouri Pacific-Richmond Terminal Scheme—The Market Gossip. _[By the Gaylord-Blessing Private Wire. ] From New York, 9 a. m.—The order brokers in various stocks were trying to account for the stronger closing of the market last night, and some of them said it was due to the silver bill here and in London, and others said the higher figures at the end were due to a rumor that ‘the Government had bought $4,000,000 bonds, which finally dwindled down to less than 1,000,000, and it was officially announced after 8 p. m. thatthe further purchases of the 4s would be suspended. he commission stock houses were generally encouraged and thankful over the small improvement in prices and firmer closing, because the bulk of their customersare 1 2 bulls and long of stocks, and will therefore deal only on that side of the market, but these people are very conservative and they are by no means confident that the market has been turned, and they said last evening that they would not be surprised if the bull breeze, which was so strong at times — died down to a calm again to-day, ecause there are no traders doing anything except the professional bears. Mr. Gould was at the Windsor all evening, and one of his friends says there is going to be some activity and improvement in Richmond Terminal be fore long, and finallv the Richmond Terminal and Missouri Pacific may come rolling into New York on the Baltimore & Ohio Road. Mr. Gould was talking quite bullish. The friends of Cotton Oil say the weakness of late in this trust is due to a false bear atory that there is a hitch in the legal programme to secure the change of the trust into a corpora- tion, but there is no trouble on this score, only alittie delay owing: to the efforts of the committee to reach and every holder ofthe outstanding trusts to inform bim of his rights. 10 a. m.—The Bank of England has the power to issue silver notes to a limited extent, but it is very doubtful if the power is exercised. 2 * From Boston, 10 a. m.— The annual report of the C., B. & Q., will be made upon the same basis as a year ago, and will show about 5 per cent earned upon C., B. & O. stock in 1889. The underwriters of the M., K. & T. reor- ganization plan expect to receive a commis- sion of 2 per cent in case of success. * * . From New Tork, 12 m.—The shorts bave been the best buyers of stocks to-day, but aside from them the undertone is not weak. If there was only a public demand whata boom there might be. 12:30 p. m.—Thbe stock market has had a decidedly strong undertone throughout the moruing. All classes of stocks have had better support than at any time in a month, The amount of business passing is not heavy, but the sentiment of the street appears to be more favorable to an advance in the market. The strength of Missouri Pacific and the Gould stocks generally is helping to create this im- pression. Reading has advanced & per cent, and is really a leader of the mar- ket. This stock appears to have strong friends, notwithstanding the unfavorable condition of the finances of the company and the dullness of the coal trade. Sugar and cotton oil are both higher and quite active. Other trusts are neglected. Money offered freely at 442 percent. 0 From Chicago, 12:30 p. m.— The annual re- port ot the Chicago & Alton will soon be ready for publication, and will be a good one. Vice - President McMuliin says it will show over 8 per cent fairly earned on its capitel stock, and all improvements charged to operating expenses. CONSTABLES WIN, H. Epstein Loses a »tock of Jewelry at the Union Depot. There was a lively time at the Union Depot last evening all onaccount of Constable Hyde, Deputy Norp and a peddler named H. Epstein, Henry Evans and Wolf Evans, who deal in sup- plies for peddlers, some time agosold Epstein a bill of goods vn which he made a partial payment, but failed to pay the balance. Last evening he he bought $700 worth of watches and jew- elry, and the Evans brothers went to Judge Spaulding’s office aud stated their case. An attach- ment was made out against Epstein and the con- stable went tothe depot to lay for him, as it was known that he was about to leave the city. At about 6 o’clv:ck the constables saw their man coming down the platform. There he is, said Norp. Then thev sallied up.to him and Hyde placed a hand on his shoulder. Drop those things, he said. ‘*T guess not. said Epstein. Tou t touch them when I have them in my possession.’”’ He had the jewelry done up in two packages, tied with strings under which he had passed his fingers. Norp quietjv pulled a pocket knife, and, with a quick —5 cut the string to one of the bundles, caus- ing it to drop to the ground. Both made a dive for it, but Norp got possession before Epstein touched it and in the struggle the other bundle was dropped. Hyde grabbed this one and they had won the victory. The depot was crowded and people began to shout *‘Robbers,.’’ Thieves, ete. Old ladies nervously grasped their satchels more firmly. men began to get out of e way, anticipating a fight. and one fat, oid far who had a small black valise, sat firmiy down it, crushing it out of shape. The constables took their booty and leit the depot. The attachment was for $250 MERCANTILE LIBRARY ELECTION, The Regular Ticket Goes Through Without Opposition.

THE HATFIELD-M’COY FEUD, Constable Long Murdered and His Wife Probably Fatally Wounded, CATTLETTSBUKG, Ky., Jan. 21.—R. M. Long, a Guyandotte County Constable, was murdered and his wife desperately wounded Sunddy night by a band of ruffians who broke into the house. A neighbor passing found that the front door had been broken in with a timber used as a battering ram. On the bed weltering in their life’s blood, was Long and his wife. The former’s body was riddled with bul- lets and life was extinct; the latter hada ghastly wound in the face from which she was rendered un- conscious. As the furniture was not dis urbed and the wife could give no solution of the mytery after she had regained consclousnegs, friends of the murdered man believe that a gang of desperadoes against whem he held war- rants for **moonshining’’ committed the awful deed, Others believe it is merely a continuation of the Hatfield-McCoy feud, as the victim is related to the former family. The wounds of the woman are be- lieved to be fatal. CUT INTHE BREAST. A Saloon Row Results in the Serious Wound. ing of Arthur Gardner. A fight took place between two negroes. Arthur Gardner and Jerry McCullaugh, in the saloon at Third and Valentine streets, shortly after 8 o'clock last evening. During its progress a white man who was standin near by interfered and cut Gardner several times in the breast with a knife. All of the parties separated and ran when the police whistle was blown, when Gardner was found to 0 cut. He was taken to the City Horpital, where his wounds Were pronounced very serious. McCullaugh was afterwards arrested and locked up but denied all knowledge of the cutting.

THE NEW YORK “WORLD” GLOBE CIROLER BEACHES FRISCO THIS MORNING. The End of a Phenomenal Trip Around the World Nearly Reached—Miss Bly Taken From the Steamer, and Now on a Special Train Bound for New York—Excitement Over the Event. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. NEW YORE, Jan,.21.—Nellie Bly is again in the United States. The steamship Oceanic, on which the little lady sailed from Hong Kong, China, December 28, exactly twenty-five aays ago, arrived at San Francisco at 7 o’clock this morning, bearing the plucky little traveler into. her home port exactly on the day scheduled in her itinerary before she sailed from New York. Miss Bly’s journey has been a series of successes from the start. The connections, planned before she left home, have all been made on time, ‘and the feasibility of the undertaking to beat Phineas Fogg’s im- ayinary journey has been, up to the present point, amply demonstrated. The fret apparent serious obstacle in the young woman’s way looms up in he last stage of her journey. Reports of the great snow storm in the Sier- ras, which have for days blockaded trains of the Union Pacific Railroad and hemmed in the escort corps, sent out from the WoORLD office, have been printed. The status to-day istold in another column. Miss Bly is in constant communication with the WoRLD office to-day by telegraph, but messages are compelled to be sent by a roundabout route. Evidence of the interest felt by the public in Miss Bly’s journey is found in the fact that clubmen and others are record. ing large numbers of wagers thereon. These are mostly confined to the number of days to be consumed in the trip. Two gentlemeu at the Hoffman House recently wagered $100 even on the bases of seventy-five days. Odds of $0 to 0 were glven last night at the St. James Hotel, on e ea the $40 man betting that she would not complete her journey in that time. Agreements to lay many bets have been made to take effect after the arrival of the Oceanic at San Francisco. . A MESSAGE FROM Miss BLY. The following message has been received atthe WORLD office: SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.—Left Oakland by special train at 9 o’clock thip morning; am well, and expect to arrive in Majave at 9 this eveniag. NELLIE BLY. Homeward Bound. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 21.—The steam- ship Oceanic, with Miss Nellie Bly among the passengers, arrived here at 9:30 this mnorn- ing. Miss Bly was taken in the tug as soon as the steamer entered the harbor and was taken at once to Oakland Wharf where she boarded a special train which was in waiting and started on the overland journey, via the Southern Pacific and Atlantic & Pacific routes. Miss Bly started from New York November 14 last, on an extraordinary trip, viz., to make a tour of the world in seventy-five days. The indications are that she will succeed in accomplishing what no woman ever attempted before—the circuinnavigation of the globe. Miss Bly was sent out on her remarkable voyage by the New York WORLD. The Escort Corps. Pr Telegranh to the POST-DISPATC.

In the Court of Criminal Correction this morning James Boyle waived preliminary examination in the action against him for murder in the first degree and was by Judge Campbell held to the Grand- without bail. Boyle, on October 27, stabbed faward Rundle at the latter's home at 3958 Papin street. He was at the time boarding with Kundle and qurreled with the deceased over the latter's wife. ; wound was 1 the abdomen. Rundle lived for two months and died from blood poisoning, an abcess havin formed in hisabdomen. Boyle denied any knowl- edge of the cutting, and was upheld by the testimony of Rundle's wife, who testified that she had seen no fight, and did not know that her husband had been dut until the arrival of the police. Considerable comment was also created from the fact that she re- sed to take the body of her husband from e Morgue for interment, giving coroner Frank permission to turn the remains over to the avatomical board if he liked. The principal! evidence in the case for the prosecution is that given by a col- ored man, who lived in an adjacent lot, who saw per'y follow Rundle to the door after the la tter Staggered out with the blood gushing from the wound in hisabdomen.

The stock sold down to $1, and was offered even lower. The mines are said to be shipping rewularly now, but the company has exhausted nearly all the money in its treasury, and itis said to be doubtful whether it can run through a possible paying basis without resorting to some scheme to raise money. The street has always been bearish en this stock. Thonsands of shares of the stock have been purchased at $2 up to $5 against the advice of brokers, while several of the latter are short and are in position now to close in on stock sold at $3and above. They are waiting, however, to strike cents, while one of them says he will not close his trades short of 10 cents That the stock will reach that figure is not unreason- able. It is on the down grade one will not need he p holdings and are a good nr ard under the circumstances the people who old stock purchased at $3 and above do not feel Kreatly encouraged. Messrs.

Yesterday’s newowhich the readers of the Post-DispaTcu had served hot at sup- per was warmed over for the breakfast tables of the readers of the morning pa- pers. Every event of importance which occurred yesterday was published first in the Posr-DisraTr H and was merely re- peated in this morning’s dailies. The telegraphic news items republished from the Post-DisPpaTCH included: The snow blockade in the West and Northwest. The discovery of a big scheme for the free coinage of American dollars in Mexico. 4 ; The appointment of the World's Fair Committee in Congress. The fatal electric wire accident at New- burg, N. Y. The Foraker exposure in the ballot-box forgery case. The fatal collision on the Sciota Valley Railway. In the local de partment also the Post- DiIsrarc furnished the important news of the day to its contemporaries, includ- ing: The sensational ‘developments in the Mullery case. | The opening of the legal fight of the Frankels over their child. The proceedings under the new anti- trust law. The new strike in the Granite Mountain mine. The killing of young Price at Howard’s Station, In addition to reports of these principal events of the day, the current news and the makket re ports were given fully and accurately, and were twice-told tales when they appeared in this morning’s papers. — —äũG4I— -— — œ— A GHASTLY FAKE. In this morning’s Republic, in the right- hand column of the first page, under a three-line head beginning It Does Not Work,” and under the familiar fraud- line. Special to the Republic,“ is given a very intéresting account of some features of the failure of the tamous Topolobampo Colony fathered by A. K. OWEN and sponsored by the then ex-Senator and now Secretary of the Treasury, WILLIAM WINDOM. The account is very interesting, but it is not new, and it is not special to any paper, as every word of it was printed in the Globe-Democrat of Sunday, January 12, in the first column of the seventh page, where it is given as reprinted from an in- terview in the Hanford, Tulare County, Cal., Sentinel. Revamped nine days later as a Topeka special, it is a fake unworthy of the dark ages of journalism. ——— —üñͤ-—.ñ Tue interest of the civilized world is centered on NELLIE BLy, the plucky young woman whois girdling the globe for the New York WORLD. She arrived on the Pacific slope and the home stretch across the continent began this morning. Circumstances are against her, as the washouts on the Southern Pacific Line threaten seriously to impede her journey. But no one doubts that her own energy and the resources of modern transportation will land her safely in New York with time to spare inside the limit of JULES VERNE’S imaginative trip. - — — — THE Mexicans are willing to take the job of coining silver dollars for this country off the hands of Uncle Sam. There are big profits in the business at the present price of silver bullion. The startling plece of news in yesterday’s PostT-DiIsPpaTcaH that a gang of Mexicans are engaged in making and uttering American silver coin will stir the Govern- ment officials to vigorous investigation. The report appears reasonable because of the ease with which such a scheme could be executed for a time and the enor- mous profits which could be made by it. — — . HE WANTED PROTECTION. —_— The Story of a Man Who Was Afraid of Be- ing Killed by His Wife’s Brother. One of the litigants who left Judge Spauld- ing’s court to-day announced that there is no justice in St. Louis for aman who has but little money. He called atthe office of Justice Spaulding for the purpose of swearing outa peace warrant against his brother-in-law, a man named Kelley, whom he says has threat- ened his life a number of times and who he is afraid will get the drop on him. „„Im a peaceful man, he said, but I have aright to kill this man, and I’m afraid Ii have to dose. He has been downto the factory where I work and also to my board- ing- house, making threats and saying he was going to kill mo. He said he would kill me on sight, but he hasn't seen me yet, and I want to have him arrested before he does so.

By Telerranh to the Posr-israron. New YORK, Jan. 21.—The Times, this morn- ing, under date of December 24 last, publishes the following correspondence from Rio de Janeiro: „There is no possibility of the re-establish- ment of the monarchical form of government in Brazil. Undoubtedly a few Brazilians, who have resided in Europe the greater part of their lives, entertain some such vague notion, but they have lost touch with things here and don’t understand the temper of the people. If anything would arouse the Braziliaus thor- oughly it would be an attempt to establish the old order of things, All the soldiers might be corrupted, but notwithstanding the reluctance of the Brazilians to do any fighting, they would make short work with the common soldiers, who are very common, indeed. The officers of the army and navy are, by conviction and and education, Republicans. They have caught the inspiration of their politics from men like Benjamin Constant, who have during long years been professors in the military and naval schools.

PLEAS AND SENTENCES. rice of * He ad- Making Up a Party for Jefferson City in the Criminal Court, There was considerable businesg done in the Criminal Court to-day and yesterday. The arraignment of Saturday furnished the matter taken under consideration, William Metloe indicted for grand larceny withdrew bis plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty. He was sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary. Metloe, on October 28, 1889, stoleasuit of clothes, an overcoat,a pair of shoes and a hat from Chas. Mallon, 813 North Seventh street. Joseph Zedmerk and Bruce Blaine proved their minority. They then pleaded guilty to the charge of grand larceny and were sentenced each to serve one year in the House of Refuge. Blaine is but 11 years of age while his companion is three years older. On No- vember 22, 1889, they entered the house of Theresa Pucalek, a Polish widow living at 818 Julia street, and stole $2,300, which was mops hidden in a bucket under a quantity of old clothing. Fourteen hundred dollars of the money was. found in Zedmerk’s cellar, while $900 in gold was dug up from a seciuded spot in Tower Grove Park by Sergt. Earl and a detall of officers. Two cases against Thomas Leonard, alias Allison, alias Foster, charged with grand larceny, were nolle prossed. The defendant is an old-time thief. On November 3 last he was arrested at the Southern Hotel by Officer King who caught uim running ut ot the room of John H. Murray, a guest at the hotel. Mur- ray says he awoke to find the fellow in the act of unscrewing a valuable diamond stud from the bosom of his shirt, he hay- ing fallen asleep on his bed without undress- ing. At the Four Courts Detective Pat Law- ler indentified Foster as Allison alias Leonard who in January, 1879, stole diamonds of the value of $1,500 from off the bar at tue Laciede Hotel where they weie exposed for raffle. The theft was committed inthe evening in full view ofa half a hundred gueste but the per- petrator escaped. An indictment was returned against him at the time. This case was nollie pvrosequied because of the fact that all witnesses of the robbery failed to identify Leonard after so many years. The attempted larceny case was dis- missed on account of the absence of Murray, who left soon after tne occurrence for his home in London, England. A nolle prosequi was entered in the case ainst Theodore Rehu indicted for seduction. iis action was taken on account of the fact that the prosecuting witnesses, Caroline Proev, is now and has been for some time a permanent resident of the State of New York. The case hag been pending for almost two years. KNOWLEDGE FOB WOMEN. In Miltonic Periods Mrs. Dr. Potts Propounds the Laws of Health, Entertainment Hall was crowded this after - noon with ladies to listen to Mrs. Dr. Potts’ Arst lecture to women only. There were women with gray hair and spectacles and women with pretty matronly faces and round chins halt hidden in fluffy fur, there were youngish giris, and one sensible-looking golored woman sedately knitting. The wall around the stage was covered with faces and charts of differing degrees of antiquity and the stage itself had a risly and mortuary appearance, with wo ta skelrtons reproductions of human internal or ering the tables. Dr. Potts is o stately au in black velvet lace and en traine, point ornaments, light gloyes, and gold eye-alass and a graceful, unembarraseed manner. She had in her hand a hight rod and while the skeletons pensively dangled their toes, and the audience pbreathiessiy waited to hear some delightfully disagreeable truths, Mrs. Pottstook the stage and said in a clear strong voice: Ladies, we are here this afternoon to study ourselves as women and to learn yarious trutbs on which our health and happiness greatly depend, The mind cannot be serene and well- balanced without bodily health; and if we would be happy we must intelligently cars for our bodies. This is a delieate sub- ject, itis true, but no woman should be i- norantof her physical make-up, and if this were understood by men as well, woman would suffer far less thin she does. Dr. Potts’ periods are Miltonic in form, and it frequentiy appears that her hyslological truths are couched in blank verse. ‘*Man’s mission,’’ wentonthe petite Quak- eress sonorously, is to be the guardian of his children, cherisher of bis wife, protector of both—a dignified and wholesome mission this. oman’s mission is most noble and, far too often undervaiued—to bear and rear children who shall be the wealth of the home. Mrs. Dr. Potts finds Il health far too prevaient among women, as mucheo in En- Eland as in America; and this she attributes to insufficient care on their own parts, and often to lack of thought, care and tenderness on the part of husbands.

CurcaGco, III., Jan. 21.—The fourth annual meeting of the Merchant Tailors’ National Exchange, which opened at 9 o’clock this morning in this city, will be an interesting event. Important iu its business bearings, it will be unustally attractive in its amusement features. Over two hundred delegates from all parts of the Union are present, and they will be fully representative of every- Bae that concerns male fashions in the United States. In this respect the convention mußt not be confounded with the. meeting of the gutters, which is in session at the Grand Pacific. The merchant tailors have invaded the Palmer House and occupy a series of the best appointed parlors as headquarters while they use the spacious club-room for their de- liberations.

The Assembly Meering To-Night—Wates Rates—The Police Bill Signed. The Council will have another busy and in teresting meeting to-night. There are several important measures, in which a great many people are interested, to be considered; among them are the Lindell Rallway, Central & Western Raliway, and the bill from the House fixing the price of gas. The Central & Western bill has been amends ed as to route from the terminus of the present Cable & Western. Inthe original the route was fixed on Morgan street, but the ¢om- mittee made an amenament whereby the road takes a curve northward! onto the present right of way of the arrow Gauge, and goes west over that line to Taylor avenye. There is another amendment which diatinetly stipulates that the east end must not cross the west line of Sixth street, This is the point where the fight was made by busi- nest men on Sixth street, who objected to tne Cabte & Western cars occupying the crossing. The ot Peal which the electric line can run, inc it is operated, is fixed at Twenty-second st . An agreement is inserted making the condi- tions that the road on Taylor avenue, south of the right of way of the present Cable & West- ern, the portion on Deimar avenue, east of Union, and the portion through city block 8760, shall be the joint property ot the Central & Western and the Lindell Co. The Lindell billremains as it was at the last meeting of the Couneil. The Houge of Delegates has no very impor- tant measure up for consideration to-night. THE WATER RATES. The Council is trying to make phi ists out of Messrs. Busch of the An usch Brewing Co. and Brewing Co., or no. At the io the Council the dill changing ba prices to be charged for water was brot up ahd in it was an amendment making are- duction in price for all houses having six rooms or less and reducing the price for tene- ments and hotels. The committee took hold of the bill, and to make up the loss incident to these reductions, have amended the next section, which fixes the rates for consumers getting water through meters. Heretofore persons using over 50,000,000 gallons per annum were charged 1 cent per 10 gal- lons, The amendment proposes to raise this rate to 1% cents per 100 gallons. As the Anheuser and Lemp Breweries are the only onesin the city using this amount of water they are the only ones affected, and If passed they will have to pay between $1,500 and $2,000 uplece more for water each year. SIGNED THE BILL. The police salary billis now alaw andthe patrolmen on the force can now sleep undis- tucbed by any fears for the contemplated in- crease. Acting ree Walbridge was at his post this morning at about the usual hour, and the ordinary amount of routine business was disposed of, and when all was done and the desk cleared there lay the police bill which has been star- ing him inthe face since Saturday. Very de- liberately he took up his pen and signed, „Approved, ©. P. Walbridge, Acting Mayor, in the blank space provided for it. The bill goes tothe House of Delegates to- night. othro- user- the they EULOGIZING GEN. LEE, Gordon's Eloquent Speech at the Meeting in Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—At the Lee meeting last night Gov. Gordon gave an eulogistic speech on Gen. Lee. He said: „We meet to celebrate the birth of a ma whose character was nearly perfect as baffle all rt at analysis. Its peculiarities, if it had any, were complete symmetry, per- fect rotundity and absolute, unbroken uni- formity. It apparentiy had no angles, no — no courradietioes, no imperfections. It defied scrutiny, disarmed criticism and was always perpendicular, faultless and matchiess in ali ordeals, the very embodiment of si m- plicity, power and truth. Whether as soldier or citizen, the record or impartial history will be that Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest and best of human kind. * 0 It would, — 82 be invidious or indelieate and indecorous to institute a comparison be- tween Gen. Lee and Washifigton, or Andrew Jackson, or Scott, or Ulysses Grant, or any other great American commander, but I may „ With truth and perfect propriety, that Ww all these American monarchs of tne ba field have their shrines and cenotaphs in our memories and veneration, no wore bas yet arisen, or is lie! to be builded in this country, than that whic enshrines the name of this illustrious leader of the Confederafe armies.’’ Slugged on the Street. Richard Ricke, aged 21, was arrested last night by Officers King, O’Hoolihan and Bar- wick on a charge of highwayrobbery: He, it is alleged by the police, followed Edward Harrison, who lives at 1818 Linden street, —— dealt hima blow in the neck, knock im down and then went through his pock He secured a smal! amount in money.

BURLEY TUOBACCO—The Missouri burley crop was small, the greater portion a thin, slatey, non- descript charac ‘ter; but its keeping qualities were far above expectations, and every hogshead properly put up, turned out sound and sweet. Good colory Burleys werein continued demand, and sold at real good prices. The * amount of nondescript, tne poor quality of the Kentucky crop—the receipts of which on our market gave sufficient proof—and the small proportion of real d to fine leaf kept the prices of the best grades steady and high, while the medium and common grades gradually declined here as in every other market. Heavy Tobacco—Ihe Missouri old style crop of 1888, in sympathy with other states, showed less body and characterthan was anticipated. Only a art of it has been disposed of and shipped to the cnglish markets, where it found some favor, and was preferred to that of other states. Prices ruled low all year, most sales of good round lots were made froin $6 to $6. 50, the latter the hivzhest price paia for a round lot Lugs have ruled dull and easy all year, at no time have they shown any change in val- ues; even at present prices they are hard to place.

FANNY DAVENPORT’S LOSS, Her Bell-Boy Robs Her of $150 and Rans Away. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dis raren. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 21.—John Healy, a 13-year-old boy of Brooklyn, N. V., has been in the city for the past four days and spending money lavishly. He purchased a camera, a new rifle, a watch and chain, a cartridge-belt to wear around his waist and some clothes. He was arrested yesterday, and admitted that he stole $150 from Fanny Davenport, the actress, while in her employ. He had only $12 when arrested, but the police took the camera to the store where he purchased it and the proprietor refunded most of the money, so the police _ saved $34, awaiting Miss Davenport’sclaim. It is expected the boy will be sent to New York to-day BV Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH.

She then re- tired tothe back room. When she went next day to get the money it was gone. ‘‘Johnny,’’ a 13-year-old boy who had been in Miss Davenport’s employ for several months, was missing, and suspicion rested on him at once.

The recent Newmarket sale of thorough- pred horses, including foals and yearlings, owned by the late Lord Falmouth, realized a total of £33,640 ($168,200). There were in all forty-two lots, of which the highest price paid was 2,700 guineas, by Capt. Machel! for the yearling filly by Galliard out of Madge Wildfire, she by Blair Atnol. She was also the highest priced lot of the sale, although several of the brood mares sold for 2,000, 2,200 and 2,300 guineas. The sale continued four days and fairly good prices were realized, consid- ering that nothing was purchased for the Buenos Ayres market, owing to a sudden edict by the Government of that republic in putting ataxof25 per cent ou all future im- portations. Mr. Lorillard’s Youngsters. Trainer James McLaughlin, in charge of Mr. Plerre Lorillard’s race horses at Rancocas stock farm, Jobstown, N. J., is highly pleased with the youngsters in his care. Of the twenty 2-year-ola horses in training there are several which at this early date give promise of being stake winners in the best of company. Several of the 2-year-old division were highly tried as yearlings, and if they indorse the merit of their private trials in public performances they will renew the fame ofthe great stable which inthe past has been so well represented by Iroquois, Dew Drop, Wanda and other great stuke winners. Gentleman’s Driving Club Election. Last night the Gentleman’s Driving Club held its annual meeting at the Real Estate Ex- change, President Hammel being in the chair.

There is no heat racing in Australia. They call it ‘‘a barbarous system’’ there, but they have plenty of two and three mile dashes. An extraordinary and fatal mulady has ap- peared among horses in Lincolnshire, En- gland, and no cause for it or explanation of its nature bas been discovered. The Australian bookmakers were hard bit by the success of Bravo forthe Melbourne cup. The horse’s trainer won $10,000 and received a third of the horse’s winnings. While in California, David Bonnér made an offer fora chestnut filly dropped in 1887 by Woolsey, brother of Sunol, 2:10%, out of Belle, by Kentucky Prince, and this week he received a letter trom Senator Stanford aoc- cepting the offer, and the filly will come East im the spring with Ansel. bh} H ; Glad im . * 4 0, g anner boy, 2:25; Sentry, 28; Piekw r si!

There is still a fair chance that Comiskey, King, Latham, Milligan and the rest of the seceding Brown Stockings will play here next season. They will play,however, as members of the various Brotherhood teams to which they heve been assigned, By this ismeant that St. Loule may yet have a Brother- hood base ball club. The rupture occurred. George Munson, the ex- secretary of the Browns, is now at the head of the scheme. Since the close of the season he has had offers from various Brotherhood teams. He could have had the secretaryship of the Chicago organization but he refused it on the ground that he was under contract with President Von der Ahe for another year. When he returned from Frisco the other day he found that Mr. Von der Ahe wished to disregard this contract, and then Munson, who could have legally beld the Browns’ Pres- ident, threw up all claims, ashe knew he could do better. Onthe same day Comiskey signed with Chicago, openly stating that Mun- son had held him off thus far, and that Von der Ahe’s break with Munson was his reason for signing with Chicago at this time. Mr. Munson bas been quietly at work ever since, and he now finds that he can raise $50,000 to- wards putting a Brotherhood Club in St. Louis, This money will be forthcoming just as soon as a franchise is secured. Most of the promised subscribers have refused to allow the use of their names yet, but Capt. Comiskey himself has such faith ines Mr. Munson’s base ball acumen that he will put $5,000 into the venture. It is thought that the Pittsburg franchise can be obtained. In fact it is not improbable that the entire Pitts- burg Club, with the exception of one plaver, may be transferred to st. Louis. That one player is Ned Hanlon, and if the plan now on goes through there is use for him else- where. A couple of weeks hence the scheme will have reached the point where success or failure can be determined. Mr. Munson refuses absolutely to discuss it, and when seen to-day urgently requested that no publication be made. Grounds have been looked over in various parts ofthe city, and there will be notrouble onthat score. Ifa Brotherhood Club is located here the re- organized Brown Stockings out at Sports- man’s Park will have a death struggie for existence on their hands. — Amateur Base Kali Champlonship. A. G. Mills, F. W. Janssen and A. C. Stevens, the Base Ball Committee of the Ama- teur Athletic Union, have issued a circular to amateur base ball clubs.

NEw York, Jan. 21.—Many persons who at- tended Daly's Theater last evening went there expecting and fearing that Miss Ada Kehan would not be seen as Rosalind and that her part in As You Like It’’ would be filled by an understudy. Those who felt this way had little conception of the devotion to her art that has characterized this charming actress since she bas been ‘a leading member of Mr. Daly’s company. Miss hkheban received a severe shock on Saturday when the news of her father’s sudden death "was communicated to her and, of course, she did not play on that evening. Her father was buried yester- day, and then she remembered, as all true artists do, only her duty to her art and the public. She has never played Rosalind with more apparent spirit and grace than she did last night. Once behind the footlights her private arief was swallowed in her public duty, and until the curtain fell on the last act no person in the audience not conversant with the facts would have dreamed that a heavy heart was dieguised under her smiling face. There are few actresses who could have assed an ordeal ofthis kind as Ada Reban ad done, and fewer still who would haye attempted it. a au ; N ö * 7 E 2 ABs rans Motos LA! 3 10 4 . 9 Ne. — * e wat N » — ay 1 u * a 4 oe re iP. 2 * * 7 Aa 75 r er Z . aM, it ’ 7 8 * * ad * FAM OF Values. outlook is! more favorable now than at any timesince the | 1 GREAT SALE THE Wanamaker & Brown Mens ad bn Begins To-Morrow AT 9 A.

GIVING UP THE WHEELS. | TIN HORSE GAMBLERS TO HAVF THEIR FQUIPMENTS RETURNED TO THEM. Two Are Now Ready for Business and Oth- ers Will Be—Peculiar Action of the Chief of Police—An Order of Court That Is Not on Record—What Officials Say—The Plea of the Gamblers. , GOOD deal of interest was aroused at the Four Courts when it wag learned that the police were returning to the ‘gainblers the tin horses “which were a subject of do much controversy and ————_... litigation but a few ie months ago. J. K. Demint, one of the gamblers, called at the Central Police office and asked for his wheel and checks. Sergt. Mueller wrote out a receipt for one wheel and 600 brass checks, taken from him at 902 Franklin avenue on June 23, 1889, and De- mint signed it. He took the checks away with him and said he would come with a wagon for the wheel. Sergt. Mueller was asked why he surrendered the property which the authorities had fought so hard to retain, and his reply was: My orders were to surrender the wheels to the owners who apply for them. I believe an order has been made by the Court of jCriminal Correction instructing the police to return the tin horses, but you had better see the Chief about that.’’ THE CHIEF WAS SEEN and asked if he hed given orders for the sur- render of the wheels. Tes. he said, we have no authority to hold them. Last Wednes- day Provisional Judge Harvey made an order directing the police toreturn the property. The gamblers demanded it, but I would not surrender it witheut an order of the court. I could not retain it after the court had made its order.’’ M. J. Kenefick, Clerk of the Court of Crim- inal Correction, and Deputy Clerk Wm. Fitz- gerald said that there was no record of an order directing the return ofthe wheels, Circuit Attorney Ashley C. Clover was next seen, and he seemed to be much surprised to learn that the police were giving up the prop- erty captured from the gamblers. When told that M. A. Wall's outfit had been returned on Saturday and Demint’s to-day he said: „That is a mistake. They should not de given up. Mr. Overall came to me and asked me if I would have new indictments returned by the Grand-jury. I told him that I would and he said that thetin horses would be held untilthen. It they are being returned itis a mistake. The last Grand-jury found indict- ments against these men, Dut they were de- fective, andI told Mr. Overall that I would have new ones returned.“ Mr. Clover then left his office and went down to Chief Huebler’s office. He spoke for a mo- ment to the Chief, then went to see Provis- ional Judge Harvey, but the latter had gone. THEN MR. CLOVER SAID: ‘*Chief Huebier says he will not return any meet of the wheels until lie sees Mr. Over- . Marshall F. Me Donald, the attorney for the tin-horse men, was found in his office and told what had occurrod. Jam surprised, he said, that the Chief should consent to withhold the wheels in the face of the order of Court. I did not care particularly about the tin horses and never would have gone to any trouble to get pos- session of them except that several of the men who owned them wanted them and came to see me about it. When these men were ar- rested they were held for a felony. Judge Campbell maintained that setting up and operating a wheel was a felony, and that the wheels could be properly held. When Huebier refused to give them up to the Constabie I went to him and wanted to know the reason why. He said that he had had an order from the court to hold them, and 1 pointed out to him that there was no record of an order, and he then said that Judge Campbell had come down stairs one day and given him a verbal order to hold the property, subject to the or- der of the Court. „Then we went into the Circutt.Court, and Judge Withrow passed upon the case. He too, held that the offense was a felonꝝ, and that the wheels could be held as evidence. Then Judge Campbell sent the cases TO THE GRAND-JURY. In the meantime, however, Mr. Clover had consulted with Judge Normile and they came to the conclusion that the offensé was a mis- demeanor. The cases were presented to the Grand-jury and they returned Indictments for misdemeanors which were certified back to the Court of Criminal Correction. But in drawing the iadictments faro blanks had been used and the word ‘faro’ had been scratched out and ‘tin horse wheel’ inserted. The former was a felony form and indictments charged o offen ever, 80 th were came up in the tof Orim The edure which tot iovellest stock oh, 4. ar 1. te „ 8 — ne ce me and wanted the property. I went to Chief Huebler and asked him if he wanted to prose- cute the cases further, because if he wanted to hold the wheels for evidence I wonld not ask for them, but if he did not, 1 wanted them back. He said that he would not Institute further prose cutions. I went to see Mr. Clover and he said that the cases were misdemeanor cases and not felonies, therefore they belonged in the Court of Criminal Correction and he would have nothing more to do with them. ‘*‘Then I asked the Chief for the wheels and he asked me to waitacouple of days until he could see Mr. Overall. I assured him that THE TIN-HORSE MEN had no idea of starting up again, and that I had advised them that ifthey did they could be prosecuted in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection. Two days laterI gaye the men or- ders for their wheels. They presented them atthe Four Courts, but were refused their property. I went to see the Chief and re- minded bim that the indictments against these men had been quashed and that I had waited two days as he had amg He then said he wanted an order from court and we went up to see the Judge. That was fast Tuesday and Harvey said that the Police Board was to meet that day and he would like to see Mr. Overall before passing on the matter, but he would give his decision next day. We waited and next morning Judge Harvey ordered the property returned. If the order is noton record it should be and bow Chief Huebler can hold the wheels at Mr. Clover’s request, in the face of an order of Court, I don’t see. Mr. Overall was called upon, but was not at his office. — — — — THE RESULT OF THIs Is that the wheels. the only evidence against twentv-three gamblers, which were captured in raids made while the gombling rooms were In full blast, are being given back, which will prevent convictions even if the cases ever come to trial in that peculiar tribunal, the Court of Criminal Correction. Why thev should drop out altogether is something very strange. : LOVE AND THE LAW. A Pale-Faced Tailor Sues a Pretty, but Faithless, Heart-Smasgher. Fy Telegraph tothe POsT-DISPaTcn. NEW YoOrK, Jan. 21.—In the district court yesterday Leopold Vogel, a rejected lover, brought suit against Guesie Levy for the re- covery of certain jewelry which plaintiff claims he gave the defendant upon condition that on the llth day of August, 1889, she should be his bride. Gussie refused to be married, so Leo went to law for revenge, and, inci- dentally, for a bracelet, a ring and a scarf pin, each containing three diamonds. The first witness in the case was Vogel himself. He is a pale-faced tailor, 28 years old, and said he fell deeply in love with the defendant at first sight, and when she asked him fora diamond pin he immediately purchased one and presented it to her on the evening when she promised to marry him. Though he loved her well, Leo did not trust her altogether and made her promise that if she ever broke the engagement she would re- turn the pin. During the next four weeks he gave her many presents, including the brace- let and ring and a newmarket coat, and upon receiving each gift she renewed her promise toreturn the things or marry him. Things wenton smoothly until about two weeks be- fore the marriage was to take place. Then, said the witness, ‘‘whea she had got all my presents, she returned me my en- I papers and told me it could never e.’’ Did you love ber still?’’ asked counsel. Did 1!“ cried Leo. Why, I loved her so much that when she told me she would not marry me I just laid down on the gta and I could not get up, I feit so bad. On the night of August 11, the day set for the ceremony, Leo, with his brother, went to Gus- sie’s house and pleaded with her for over an hour to marry him or give him back his pres- ents. She refused, and final she had him put out of the house bya policeman. Leopold’s father, mother and two brothers were called, and their stories agreed with his. Then the fair defendant was called. She is a brunette of medium height, with a pretty fig- ure and face. She wore a piack hat, fur cape, garnet plush gown, terra cotta gloves, brace- lets, a smile and two dazzling rows of teeth. She threw a coy glance at the plaintiff's counsel and tripped to the witness stand as though overjoyed at getting there. Gussie claimed that she had known Vogel for three years and that the jewelry he sued for he had given her on her birthday and at Christmas as presents and uncond — 12 She was asked if she was ever en Vogel. Gussie smiled broadly and said: „Well, sort of; but I never intended to marry him. I’m too young to marry and 1 told him 80. I’m only 18.“ ‘‘Aren’t you willing to marry him now?’’ asked his honor. The question caused the little heart smasher to burst into laughter. “Ww marry him? well, that is tty ald. ls he suing me for breach of promise?’’ Miss Levy finally admitted that she did at one time rather like Vogel, but said that ber oung affections were very much cooled ogei himself, who first threatened to shoo her if she ever allowed any other young man to show her attention en ed her ire by telling her that he thoug love her se well as he did a a 9 i case w out argument, an Judge cision. = . f . . a * — . > a ay 3 IN oN = a : 4 9 0 et a > >, : * — N Se . . >> e 2 * . as ; 5 r ae = Cae 4 * 28 ‘Fs eS: 7 ) 2 sf : : 3 : : * ~ at Sin ahs Fe 7 1 4 22 My 5 e tty 4 Ban B * „ ee % * ~~ Sat 4 1 Advertisement * O THIS PAPER Im TO-MORROW EVENING. at We Say May Interest You, sae F.

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO WILL TRY TO POSTPONE THE WORLD’S FAIR. * A Danger That Threatens the Candidacy of St. Louis Against Which the Delegation Is on Its Guard—Filibustering Tactics to Be Adopted in Congress—A Projected Alliance. T is now avery important Y question as regards the settlement of the location 7 of the Worid’s Fair when a the subject will be brought before Congress. The committee that was appointed yesterday may delay its report for some time, and from advices received from Washington it seems by no means improbable that an attempt to inducé the members to do so will be made. THE NEXT QUESTION It is greatly to the interest of St. Louis to have all preliminary matters settled as soon as possible, and to bring the question to a vote. Heretofore Chicago has been pushing things with the object of having the location determined before its rivals could present their case. The Chicago advocates tried to bring about a vote before the adjournment of Congress for the Christmas recess, and again endeavored to have a decision given between the East and West, but failed in both its aims. Now that provision has been made for giving all parties a fair hearing, it is un- derstood that Chicago will endeavor to delay matters as it previously attempted to unduly hasten action. so far St. Louis has more than held its own, but one of the principal batties of the campaign has now to de fought. In the endeavor of the delegation from this city to obtain ass fair hearing for all parties, its efforts were ably seconded by the advocates of New York. In the coming contest for prompt consideration of the claims to be presented this assistance cannot be relied upon. NEW YORK WANTS DELAY. Those familiar with the situation at the capital state that the New York men are anxious to have the Fair postponed to 1893 or 1895. The chances of the Metropolis securing the prize will be much less if itis decided to hol the Universal Exposition in 1892 than they would be were it postponed to a later date. There are — reasons why the republicans should object to having the Fair held during a presidential year, but these, itis said, are not nearly so important as has been represented. The election will not take place until November, and provision can easily be made for closing the exposition several weeks before that date, in fact, pledges bave already been given that such provisions will be made in the case that New York is selected. The main reason for desiring delay is that as); a matter of fact the time at the disposal ot the New York Committee should the fair be opened in the spring of 1892, will be of the shortest. It is admitted on all sides that it will be very dimeult tor New York to getready for the exposition in time. The reason for this is that the matter of securing a site will present many complications that cannot be settled in a satisf man- nor unless time to do eo ls afforded. Wherever the grounds are located, it will be necessary to purchase a large amount of ate prop- perty, and if itis recognized that this must be done at once, most exorbitant Es will be asked, andthe funds at the disposal of New Yor are small enough in amount lu any case THE NEW YORK FUND. While nominally having at ite disposal a arantee fund somewhat larger than that of t. Louis, the New York Committee has in reality much iess, in fact its avatiable sub- scription list exceeds only slightly tust of Chicago, which has the smallest fund of an of the three cities.

New YorK, Jan. $1.—Surrogate Abbott of Brooklyn handed down his decision yesterday in the matter ofthe contested will of Sarah M. De Groot, who died in July last. The Sur- rogate admits the decree to probate. Mrs. De Groot, who was a well preserved matron about 50 years of aye, bequeathed her estate, said to be worth about $20,000, to Edgar Hodg- kinson, towhom she was engaged to be mar- ried. Her betrothed was not quite 21 — old when his affianced died of typhus fever. The probate of the will was contested by Horatio Cc. 8. #$=%John brother of Mrs. De Groot. A remarkable feature of, the contest was that the will offered was a copy, the Original document having been burned by Mr. St. John in the presence of witnesses on the day of his sister’s death and at the alleged request of the dying woman. 18 is conceded that the will was, in fact, de- stroyed by Horatio St. John, the brother of the testatrix, in the presence of Corviah Fan- ning, a trained nurse, and Maggie Burns, the servant of the family. This was done by burn- ing the will in the kitchen stove on the after- noon of the same day on which the testatrix died. Surrogate Abbott says he cannot resist the conclusion tuat the will was destroy fraudulently and witbout consent or direction of the testatrix. The proponents have cou plied with the requirements of the code anc have, by at least two witnesses, proved «a correct copv or draft of the will. — WEDDING INVITATIONS, the finest at the low- est prices.
