But Mr. Shaw was firm and would not be moved. Thereupon Kerens, Elkins and Davis formed a combination by which they reduced the number of stockholders from ten to seven, thus preventing Shaw from electing more than one director, otherwise he could have elected two. Shaw voted 63,000 shares cumu- latively for Oross, but the tellers, acting under instructions, threw out this vote and declared only the seven directors on the Davis ticket elected. The whole business will again go into the coarts and sume lively develop - ments may be expected. OnICAGO, III., Jan. 29.—The Tribune this morning says: “The Interstate Commerce Rall- way Association, better known asthe Gentile- mans Association, has at last reached the end ot its rope. It received its deathblow yesterday, forma! notice being given by the Union Pacific andthe Chicago & Northwest- ern Railway companies of their withdrawal from thesame. The action of these roads had not been officially promulgated by Chairman Walker up to last evening, and con- sequently was known only to the presidents of the roads immediately interested, who were privately informed y Chairmag Walker. That the announce- ment of the action of those companies caused intense excitement is putting it mildly. All day the presidents of the various roads in the association were conferring together as to the course to be pursued by them under the cir- cunistances. Those who were asked their opinion as to what steps would now be taken, said they would goon with the association, notwithstanding the action of the Northwest- ern and Union Pacific roads. Without the Northwestern and Union Pacifie it would sim- ply be impossible to continue the as- soclation’s existence, as more than! half the roads in the territory of the associstion are now on the out- Bide. The Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City and the Wisconsin Central were nevor very loyal to the association, and it is quite certain’ that they will at once follow the example of the Northwestern and Union Pacific. The remaining roade may agree to stick together and act in concert, in fact, they have done so ever since announcement was made of the alliance between the North- western and Union Pacific. But for the roads to continue the association is out of the question. Todoso willisimply place them at the mercy of their competitors, not members of the association.’’ CHAIRMAN WALKER’S ANNOUNCEMENT. Chairwan Walker made public the official notices ofthe Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern Railway companies withdraw ing from the Interstate Commerce Rallway Association. President Charles Francis Adams of the Union Pacific, in his letter to Obairman Walker, says: **Referring tothe decision made by you at the meeting of the Interstate Commerce Rail- way Association held in New York on the léth Inst., tothe effect that the contract recently entered into between this company and the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co. was in violation of the terms of the agreement under which the association was organized, I aw in- structed by the directors to inform you that, in their opinion, the decision places this “company in a most difficult position. As I undertgand the purport of your decision it is that.the con loftrafiicis a matter of pro- prietorship of lines. In other words the ex- isting distribution of competitive traffic may be affected to any extent by the construction of new lines by members parties to this association, or by the leasing of lines Already existing, but, under the article of association, it cannot be affected or con- trolied by contracts between the line’s mem- bers of the association irrespective of the RS.ANNIE FRANKEL was awarded the cus- tody of her baby girl, ll monthe old, this morning by Judge Withrow, who heard the case last Monday and taking it under advisement rendered a written decision this morning. This ends the bitter fight Ms. 4 between a young MS 2 wife and mother and her husband for possession of a baby which wasrutblessly and cruelly taken from her overtwo weeks ago by her husband. Public sympathy was with the mother in this case, and the child would have been given to the mother witbout reference to law by a citizen. Readers ofthe dally papers will remember the distressing scene which occurred in the Tbird District Police Station on the evening of January 8, when tne baby was heartlessly torn from Mrs. Frankel’s breast as she fell ewooning to the floor. Mr. Frankel and 0 friend had driven up tothe house where Mrs. Frankel was stopping, 916 North Thirteenth street, and rushing up-stairs broke into the front roem. Mrs. Frankel had gone toadrug store two blocks away for some medicine for the baby. Perhaps it was better for both en that they did not meet in that room an STRUGGLE OVER THB INFANT, as either mightbave cause to regret it nov. Seeing the baby onthe bed he picked it up. It had nothing but a shawi around it, and its little head and feet were bare. He ran down stairs and just as he was about to jump into the cab Mrs. Holle, who owns the building and lives on the first floor, ran out and grasped the horse by the bridle. She raised a cry which brought the néighbors and sev- eral policemen. Frankel was nt under arrest and taken tothe police station. A few minutes after they had gone Mrs. Frankel returned, and on hearing of the abduction fairly flew to the station, seven blocks away, crossing streets and gutters recklessly in her wild flight. She darted into the station and rushing up to her busband tried the tear the chiid from his arms, but he was too strong. Fearing she would hurt the little one she desisted, and pleaded with Sergt. McFarland for her He ordered Mr. Frankel to to the mother. He didso with some reluctance and she covered the face of the child with kisses. W. McEntire, Mr. Frankel’s at- torney, made his way through the crowd at this juncture and said the father must have the child as he had the right to its custody. The Sergeant questioned the aw on this point and sought the advice of the Chief of Police. He was telephoned, and on being told that a father had stolen his child from its motherand that the mother had again secured possession The C. B. & O. Wins. Boston, Mass., Jan. 29.—A decision favora- ble to the defendant was given by Judge Colt in the United States Circuit Court yesterday in the case of John E. Dewitt vs. the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rallway et al. The plaintiff is the owner of nine $1,000 bonds issued by the defendant oorpbration in 1872 and bought in August, 1887, to have them ex changed for consolidated mortgage bonds issued in 1873. After making this mortgage the railway company issued two circulars to the effect that holders of the unsecured bonds had the opportunity to exchange them for the consolidated mortgage bonds. In January, 1881, it was decided to ake no further ex- change and allithe proposals in exchange of the 1873 bonds have been refused since that date. Judge Colt finds that after fourteen ears the application for exchange comes too ate for the plaintiff, THE RETAIL DRY GOODS Merchants will show the ladies howto save money.

A MOTHER THE PROPER GUARDIAN. The evidence in this case shows that Mrs. Frankel is a young woman of good moral Character, thoroughly devoted to the best in- terests of her unfortunate littie daughter and abundantly abie and willing to maintain her. On the contrary, it appears from tie testimony thatthe father’s course toward his family has at least been cold and indifferent, if not cruel, and that he is therefore an unfit person to have the care and custody of an unweaned female child. It will therefore be ordered and decreed by the Court that the care and custody of said infant,Anna Frankel, be awarded to ber mother,Mrs.Anna Frankel, until said child arrives at the age of 14 years, unless otherwise ordered by the Court in the meantime, for sufficient cause.’’ JUDGE PAXSON THE ONLY ONE PRESENT. Judge Paxson was the — person in court when the decision was read who was inter- ested in the case, the other attorneys antici- pating, no doubt, the conclusion of the Judge, and preferring to remain away. Mrs. Frankel and her coterie of friends who have been at her side during all her trouble were with her this morning in the Court of Criminal Correction, whore she went to prosecute the suit of wife and child abandonment against her husband. As soon as Judge Paxson heard the decision he hurried to the Four Courts to join them..

He told me positively that he had bought tnose tickets of Leonard on the dates mentioned in the warrants. I thought the proceedjng was an unusual one at tne time, but could not refuse to issue the warrants if he would swear to them.’’ There is a point of difference between this story and the one told dy Scully last evening.

In a letter from ‘‘37 Kaiser Josef Strasse, Vienna, Austria, Charlies N. Hock and Mrs. Maggie English Hock, filed blanks to-day in the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH World's Fair Guessing Contest. Mr. Hock writes that his wife was once a resident of St. Louis, and her guess shows that she still has great hopes for the city of her birth. Her husband, how- ever, does not agree with herin this matter. He thinks New York has the call. George M. Robertson of 1519% Elllott avenue wants to know what willbe therule if, after the location is decided on, the vote is made unanimous on motion. This question has been answered before. The ‘‘final and de- ciding vote“ le the ona which counts, and that is the vote by which the site is decided, not the complimentary unanimous vote which may follow. An anxious guesser is alarmed because the guess he sent in has not yet been published. As stated before there are bundreds of | guesses which have not been reached in the | publication list yet. The guess of this gen- tleman is among them. If he has any doubt of this he can make a sure thing ofit’’ by sending in more guesses at once. The time for the close of the guessing con- test is drawing very near. As stated, it will be closed just as soon as Congress takes such decisive action as to make the result a fore- gone conclusion. This may occur almost at any session of Congress now. Delay about filing guesses now may be fatal.

Iam directed to inform you that if this decision is final it would, inthe opinion of the directors, place this company in a position which a proper regard for the interests of the stockhoiders would not justify. It bas ever been the in- tention and policy of the Union Pacific to com- ply strictly with all the rules and regula- tions of the Interstate Commerce Ratlway As- sociation and the directors of this company would be most reluctanttotake any steps calculated to impair either the efficiency or the existence of that association.

IMR. FRANKEL ADVANCED to take it from her and she started to run out the front door. An officer barred the way. She ran to the door leading to the calaboose and another officer intercepted her. Glancing around and seeing no means of escape, she placed her back against the wall. „Take her if you can, she shrieked, re- leasing one arm and forming her hand into a perfect claw. Mr. Frankel, unmoved by the look of desperation and despair in the young woman’s face, again advanced. ‘*Let that woman alone, saida masculine voice in the crowd. There was something in the tone in which these words were said that caused Mr. Frankel to stop and draw back. He saw wet eyes and looks of sym- pathy in the faces of the men and women which formed a circie around the little woman and thought it better not to use force. Capt. Joyce came out of his private office and tried to pessuade Mrs. Frankel to obey the Chief’s orders, telling ber the courts would set it right and that he would be responsible. It was of no avail. She drew away and repeated her ory that the chiid would not leave her alive. Mrs. Haynes, the matron, was called down and with a woman's gentleness tried to impress upon her the fact that she must give up the child. She reached for the infant and LIKE A VICIOUS ANIMAL when disturbed at its meal, Mrs. Frankel sprang at her. Mrs. Haynes warded off the blow and sprang back. Mrs. Frankel stood panting from her long run, the tears rolling her injury, which occurs quite frequently, she went out and peddled corsets, returning as often as possible to hér baby. When it be- came sick she wus obliged to stay with it and take in fancy sewing,which she worked at while nursing the infant. It was while she was out etting medicine tor the child that her hus- band called at 916 North Thirteenth street and stole the little one and later carried it off. Had she been home when he called the ineet- ing might have resulted in atragedy. After securing an order of court to nurse her child she called to perform a mother’s duty and was slapped in the face. Alter gaining possession of dt the charge was made that she gave the baby unhealthy nour- ishment and should not be allowed to nurse it. No attempt was made to prove this state- ment and Mrs. Frankel denies it. Following this the husband filed a suit for divorce, mak- ing serious charges against his young wife, all of which she denies and says he made them hoping they would be published, never in- tending to swear to them on & witness stand. Now that she bas secured the custody of her baby she intends to give her husband a taste of justice, and her attorney, Judge Paxson, promises to leave nothing undone in hie at- tempt to legally punish his client’s perse- ‘cutor. Frankel in the Criminal Courts. The cases against Irwin Frankel ana J. Wahlblack were docketed for trial in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning. There are two cases against Frankel, one for them. Mr. Dierkes asked him If he was doing It ot his own free will, and he said he was. He a few moments later admitted that it was partly because a certain evening sheet wantea Leonard prosecuted that he was tak- ing that action.’’ Thus Scully talked on for fully half an hour. He chen proceeded to detail the traps which Drexler set for Leonard in orderto catch him and have evidence to prove a case of selling lottery tickets against him. Then he launched into the officers of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection and abused them roundly. Why don’t the PosT-DISPATCH give usa little rest, and write up those fellows in there, said he, waving hie hand toward the court-room. Just take the books and see how many continuances have been taken. Weare always ready, but they want to wear outour witnesses. We ask to have the lot- tery cases called early on the docket, but Judge Campbell says it is the rule of the court for lottery cases to come last, and our witnesses have to stay until late in the afternoon. Look at the stuff those fellows pay Bob Goode and the rest of those attorneys for fighting these cases. Every time they want a continuance these lawyers have only to make up some sort of a story about having a case in the Circult Court, and Judge Campbell gives them what time they want. These lawyers have to pull together to get the stuff out of the gamblers. Then, too, Claiborne is no better than Campbell. He gives first one continuance for the defendant then oneforthe State, then one Dy consent.

OnNICAGO, III., Jan. 29.—The Tribune this morning says: “The Interstate Commerce Rall- ‘way Association, better known asthe Gentie- man es Association, has at last teached the end of its rope. It received its deathblow yesterday, formal notice being given by the Union Pacific andthe Chicago & Northwest- ern Rallway companies of their withdrawal from thesame. The action of these roads had not been officially promulgated by Chairman Walker up to last evening, and con- sequently was known only to the presidents of the roads immediately interested, who were privately informed y Chairman Walker. That the announce- ment of the action of those companies caused intense excitementis putting it mildly. All day the presidents of the various roads in the association were conferring together as to the course to be pursued by them under the cir- cunistances. Those who were asked their opinion as to what steps would now be taken, said they would goon with the association, notwithstanding the action of the Northwest- ern and Union Pacific roads. Without the Northwestern and Union Pacific it would sim- piy be impossible to continue the as- soolation’s existence, as more than half the roads in the territory of the associstion are now on the out side. The Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City and the Wisconsin Central were nevor very loyal to the association, and it is quite certain’ that they will at once follow the example of the Northwestern and Union Pacific. The remaining roads may agree to stick together and act in concert, in fact, they have done so ever since announcement was made of the alliance between the North western and Union Pacific. But fur the roads tO continue the association is out of the question. Todoso willsimply place them at the mercy of their cOMpetitors, not members of the association.’’ CHAIRMAN WALKER’S ANNOUNCEMENT. Chairman Walker made public the official notices ofthe Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern Railway companies withdraw- ing from the Interstate Commerce Rallway Association. President Charles Francis Adams of the Union Pacific, in his letter to Obairman Walker, says: **Referring tothe decision made by you at the meeting of the Interstate Commerce Rall way Association held in New York on the léth Inst., tothe effect that the contract recently entered into between this company and the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co. was in violation of the terms of the agreement under which the association was organized, I ain in- structed by the directors to inform you that, in their opinion, the decision places =? As undertgand the purport of your decision it is that the con loftrafiicis a matter of pro- prietorship of lines. In other words the ex- isting distribution of competitive traffic may be affected to any extent by the construction of new lines by members parties to this association, or by the leasing of lines Already existing, but, under the article of association, it cannot be affected or con- trolled by contracts between the line’s mem- bers of the association irrespective of the action of the association. Iam directed to inform you that if this decision is final it would, inthe opinion of the directors, place this company in a position which a proper regard for the interests of the stockholders would not justify. it has ever been the in- tention and policy of the Union Pacific to com- ply strictly with all the rules and regula- tions of the Interstate Commerce Railway As- sociation and the directors of this company would be most reiuctanttotake any steps calculated to impair either the efficiency or the existence of that association. The Uaion Pacific is unwilling to continue in any asso- clation exceptin strict conformity with the rules thereof. With a view, therefore, to pre- vent the incurring of penalties on its part, pending the consideration of the matter by your committee, | atm cirected bythe Board of Directors to cive you formal notice of the withdrawal ofthis company therefrom; to fake effect atthe expiration of thirty days from the date thereof. It is unnecessary for me to add that this action istaken bythe Direc- tors with extreme regret and the notice will be withdrawn, should the rules of the associa- tion, as the result of conferences, which doubt lesa will hereafter be held between yourself and the representatives of the company, be so modified us to permit the Union Pacific to take such steps not affecting rates as may be ne essary for its own protection in view of the manifest disturbing influence which must be exercised on the distribution of tramo througb the construction of new lines or the easing of old ones by other members of the ociation.’’ e letter of President Hughitt of the Chi- Northwestern, likewise giving notice ithdrawal of that company, says: erstand your decision as holding, in effect, ~ 1 nochange can be made in the Status of the railway lines, members of the association, inany manner directly or ind! rectly affectine the distribution of com- petitive trafic, unless it is done by the construction of new lines, or Dy acquiring in some manner a proprietary interest In existing lines. If this construction ofthe agreement is correct, then the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Cos., by de- coming members, surrendered their rights to make such contracts with connecting lines, not affecting rates, as in the judgment of their directors the best in’ereste of the stockholders require. It is proper for me to say that the directors did not understand that by be- coming a party to the Interstate Commerce Association agreement they had so sacrificed their power to make contracts.

The Fremont, Elk born & Missouri Valley, ana the Sioux * & Pacific Rallroad Cos. are also inciuded in this notice of withdrawal. Chairman Walker has called a special meet- ing of the Interstate Commerce Railway Asso- Clation for February 11 to consider the action of the Union Pacific and Northwestern roads, as woll as to consider and act upon the report of the committee appointed at the last meet. ing of the presidents to revise present meth- ods and organization. A Stormy Meeting. BALTIMORE, Ma., Jan. 29.—There was a scene at the meeting of the stockholders of the est Virginia Central Railroad Co. yes. a which was as unexpected as it was objectionable to the majority. The meeting Was called to order by Mr. R. C. Kerens, and the stockhoidera present ineluded ex-S%ecre- ard, ex- Senator Davis of West Vir- kKikine, Wm. man, nator Gorman; Emmons Blaine, representing his fatner, and Alexander The presiding aber had just mecting 0 order on Jr. Gross, counsel tor. n an the . CUmulative steck ; — Deputy Suef gt ed 183 W . 1 to Senator Davis, who is mainly held responsibie. The expert submitted a number of resommen- dations embodying bis views as to the man- nerin which the finances of the company should be conducted. Although oa committee, consisting of Messrs. Gorman, Eikins and Shaw, had appointed Bulkley to do this work, Mr. William Kieser moved that acommittee be appointed to investigate the affairs ofthe company. This proposition was debated by Mr. Eikins, who remarked that the scene of yesterday’s meeting was the. most disgraceful he had ever witnessed ina oorporation gathering, and that strife was being continually stirred up by a secret and helpless minority. The resolution was suosequentiy withdrawn. The voting for directors was next in order, and to prevent any trouble Senator Davis tried to induce Maj. Shaw to vote his stock cumulatively—ua right which a recent Gecision gave bim. But Mr. Shaw wasfirm and would not be moved. Thereupon Kerens, Elkins and Davis formed a combination 58 which they reduced the number of stockholders from ten to seven, thus preventing Shaw from electing more than one director, otherwise he could have elected two. Shaw voted 63,000 shares cumu- latively for Oross, but the tellers, acting under instructions, threw out this vote end declared — the seven directors on the Davis ticket elected. The whole business will again go into the coarts and sume lively develop- ments may be expected. The C. B. & Q. Wins. Boston, Mass., Jan. 29.—A decision favora- bie to the defendant was given by Judge Colt in the United States Circuit Court yesterday in the case of John E. Dewitt vs. the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway et al. The plaintiff is the owner of nine $1,000 bonds issued by the defendant corporation in 1872 and bought in August, 1887, to have them ex- changed for consolidated mortgage bonds issued in 18738. After making this mortgage the railway company issued two circulars to the effect that holders of the unsecured bonds had the opportunity to exchange them for the consolidated mortgage bonds. In January, 1881, it was decided to make no further ex- change and all the proposals in exchange of the 1873 bonds have been refused since that date.

In a letter from ‘‘37 Kaiser Josef Strasse, Vienna, Austria, Charles N. Hock and Mrs. Maggie English Hock, filed blanks to-day in the SUNDAY POS8T-DISPATCH World's Fair Guessing Contest. Mr. Hock writes that his wife was once a resident of St. Louis, and her guess shows that she still has great hopes for the city of her birth. Her husband, how- ever, does not agree with herin this matter. He thinks New York has the call. George M. Robertson of 1519% Elliott avenue wants to know what will be the rule if, after the location is decided on, the vote is made unanimous on motion. This question has been answered before. The ‘‘final and de- ciding vote’’ Is the ona which counts, and that is the vote by which the site is decided, not the complimentary unanimous vote which may follow. An anxious guesser is alarmed because the guess hesentin has not yet been published. As stated before there are bundreds of guesses which have not been reached in the publication list yet. The guess of this sen- tleman is among them. If he has any doubt of this he can make a sure thing ofit’’ by sending in more guesses at once. The time for the close of the guessing con- test is drawing very near. As stated, it will be closed just as soon as Congress takes such decisive action as to make the result a fore- gone conclusion. This may occur almost at any session of Congress now. Delay about filing guesses now may be fatal. They should be rushed in at once. Full particulars of the guessing contest, with the list of the prizes, the official blank, etc., can be found in the last SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH. FINED IN COULKT.

The prosecuting witness was Nettie Bennett, the defendant’s wife, who, with Officer McDonald, charged the de- fendant with having committed a breach: of the peace on the afternoon of January 18. Bennett and his wife have been married for over six years and havetwo small children. They have for some months lived at 1011 Carr street. Un January s Mrs. Bennett went tothe home of her mother, 923 North Ninth street, and said that her husband had sold all the furniture in the house and deserted her, lesving to her care the two children. Her mother reported the matter to the police at the Four Courts, and Officer McDonald was sent out to investigate it. Mrs. Bennett went with him. She sald her husband would probably be found in some of tne saloons. Sure enough, Bennett wasina bar-room on Pine street between Second and Third. Officer McDonald called him out and asked him why he had left his wife. He at once beganto abuse herina terrible manner, using vue and profane language and preferring charges of the most unnatural nature.

THE SUPPLY RAN SHORT, Interest in Nellie Bly’s Trip Shown by the Sale of New Tork World. The wide-spread interest which is being taken in the globe-circling trip of the New York WORLD’S record breaker, Miss Neilie Bly, was fully appreciated by the St. Louis news- dealers when they saw their stock of Sunday WORLDS vanish over the counters like the proverbial hot cake. Advance orders fur the first copies of the WoRLD reporting the con- clusion of Nellie’s Bly’s trip were filed early last week atthe news-stores and hotel news- stands, and inguiries had been pouring in for papers ever since the successful arrival of Miss Bly was reported in the Posr-DisrATOR of Saturday evening. The Lindell Hotel news stand Was relieved of ite entire stock in a very short time and more were sent for, but a search through all of the other shope in the olty showed that they were in the same shape. At the Post- DISPATCH office a rush had been prepared for, but even the extra order for that edition was not large eoough and newsdealers were clamoring for more, The way the papers sold in St. Louis reflects credit on tbe traveler and the paper she represented.

THE CHILD’S WELFARB CONSIDERED. **In the determination ofa case of this kind the paramount consideration withthe court is the welfare of the infant. Wh the father is a suitable person and able and willing to maintain his child he is prima facie entitled to ite custody except probably in one or two cases and especially that of an infant of such tender years as to necessaril require for its own good the care of the mother. In such a case, where the parents have separated, and where the infant is of a delicate and sickly habit, re- quiring the peculiar care and attention of a mother, a transfer of the custody from the motherto the father will not be ordered, especially where the qualifications of the father for the proper discharge of the parental office are not equal ta those of the mother.— Church on Habeas Corpus, Section 41. A MOTHER THE PROPER GUARDIAN. The evidence in this case shows that Mrs. Frankel is a youes woman of good moral character, thoroughly devoted to the best in- terests of her unfortunate little daughter and abundantly abie and willing to maintain her. On the contrary, it appears from tie testimony that the father’s course toward his family has at least been cold and indifferent, if not cruel, and that he is therefore an unfit person to have the care and custody of an unweaned female child. It will therefore be ordered and decreed by the Court that the care and custody of said infant,Anna Frankel, be awarded to ber mother,Mrs.Anna Frankel, until said child arrives at the age of 14 years, unless otherwise ordered by the Court in the meantime, for sufficient cause.’’ JUDGE PAXSON THE ONLY ONE PRESENT. Judge Paxson was the on? person in court when the decision was read who was inter- ested in the case, the other attorneys antici- pating, no doubt, the conclusion of the Judge, and preferring to remain away. Mrs. Frankel and her coterie of friends who have been at her side during all ber trouble were with her this morning in the Court of Criminal Correction, where she went to prosecute the suitof wife and child abandonment against her husband. Assoon as Judge Paxson heard the decision he hurried to the Four Courts to join them. Judge Paxson has taken a personal interest in this case and has put in the greater portion of his time securing her the custody of the child, prosecuting her husband for her, and will later defend her in the divorce suit filed by ber husband, if it ever goes to trial, which is very doubtful. HISTORY OF THE CASE. The history ofthis case is a tale of perse- cution from the beginning. The object of public spmpathy, Mrs. Anna Frankel, is a young woman posseseed of good looks and with pleasing ways. The story of her troubles begins with her marriage, a month after which there was a quarrel, anda few days after the birth of the baby another quarrel in which she was injured for life. The same da her husband left ber and she went to live wit friends. The constant attention and care necessary for a baby only a few months old prevented her going out and earning a living as she hag done for several months past, an she was compelled to live on the charity of friends and the assistance of * drother L Texas. — of avery sénsitive nature she could not bear to impose on ber friends, and though liable at any moment to be attacked with a relapse of her injury, which occurs quite frequently, she wont out and peddied corsets, returning as often as pes he to her baby. When it be- came sick she was obliged to stay with it and take in fancy sewing, which she worked at while nursing the infant. It was while she was out etting medicine for the child that her hus- band called at 916 North Thirteenth street and stole the little one and later carried it off. Had she been home when he called thé ineet- ing might have resulted in atragedy. After securing an order of court to nurse her child she called to perform a mother’s duty and was slapped in the face. Alter gaining possession of dt the charge was made that she gave the baby unhealthy nour- ishment and should not be allowed to nurse it. No attempt was made to prove this state- ment and Mrs. Frankel denies it. Following this the husband filed a suit for divorce, mak- ing serious charges against his young wife, all of which she denies and says he made them hoping they would be published, never in- tending to swear to them on @ witness stand. Now that she bas secured the custody of her baby she intends to give her husband a taste of justice, and her attorney, Judge Paxson, promises to leave nothing undone in his at- tempt to legally punish his client’s perse- cutor. Frankel in the Criminal Courts. The cases against Irwin Frankel ana J. Wahlblack were docketed for trial in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning. There are two cases against Frankel, one for abandoning his ehild and the other for abandoning his wife. The action against Wahlblack is for assault and battery. Mr. Paxson appeared to represent tne prosecu- tion while Thomas B. Harvey represented the defense in the three actions. Mr. Harvey was not ready ‘for trial and asked for a continuance. Judge Campbell adjourned the case until 20’clock, at which time Mr. we ave notification that he would file affidavits in the matter. The nature of these affidavits he would not make public until the papers are filed. A LOVER'S VEST, Justice Spaulding Has a Delicate Question Presented to Him. „Can Iseethe Judge for a minute, sir?’’ inquired a well-dressed colored man as he poked his head in the door of Justice Spauld.- ing’s office yesterday morning. „1 am the Justice,’* answered Justice Spaulding. „Can I see you in private, sir?’” **Certainly.

They have an elephant on their hands. E. A. Drexler, a lottery ven- Ger, now states that when he swore to informations charging Geo. 8. Leonard with selling lottery tickets he swore falsely and took the oath at the instigation of Police Officer Scully. Hesays he took this action on the representation that Leonard had been paid $2,000 by the Posr-Disrarok to furnish information for the public showing the eK tent of the violations of the law. On the witness stand at the trial Drexler ad- mitted under oath that the charges were false and that he never bought tickets from Leonard. To this Chief Huebler says nothing. He re- mains inactivé. Is he trying to shield Scully? It not why does he not present Scully to the board on charges and Drexler to court? The only action contemplated is @ prosecu- tion of Drexler and to this the officers of the Court of Criminal Correction are iending themselves. The case isa simple one. It shows how jus- tice is administered atthe Four Courts and beyond question, itis aserious reflection on the present directing heads of the St. Louis Police Department. Just now it looks like very dirty peace of business. : ASSISTANT PROSECUTING ATTORNEY DIERKES says he will not issue any warrants against Drexler for several days. Iam now looking up the law in the matter,’’ he said this morn- ing, ‘‘and have not yet made up my mind whether we can prosecute him for perjury or for making a corrupt, and voluntary corrupt oath. The former is punishable with im- risonment in the Penitentiary, while the atter is only a misdemeanor. Something will be done, however, as we cannot have the court used in such a manner. If Drexler wants to get even with Leonard, he cannot ute the court to further his purpose.’’ a „Who will swear to the information when the warrant is issued?“ was asked by the re- porter. ‘*Officer Scully or Danaher, of course. They both came up tomy office immediately after the case againat Leonard was dismissed in the court and made complaint against Drexler for making a false oath. They have been up to see me about it several times since, and I told them that I would issue the warrant as soon as I could get time to draw it up.“ *‘*Then you think you can make a case stick, do you?’’ ‘*Certainly Ido. He told me positively that he had bought tnose tickets of Leonard on the dates mentioned in the warrants. I thought the proceedjng was an unusual one at the time, but could not refuse to issue the warrants if he would swear to them.“ There is a point of difference between this story and the onetold by Scully last evening. Scully insists that he and Danaher are hav- ing nothing to do with the prosecution of Drexler. „Wo will, I suppose, be called as witnesses in the case,’’ he said, ‘‘because we heard him swear on both occasions. Mr. Vierkes was inthe court-room when the case was dismissed and will probably institute proceedings himself. Mr. Dierkes insists, however, that Scully and Danaher are going todo the swearing. Butthen Scully says just the opposite, and Scully’s reputation for truth and veracity is well known. OFFICERS SCULLY AND DANAHER were in the ante-room tothe Court of Crim!i- nal Correction when approached by a Post- DISPATCH reporter yesterday afterncon. Both were anxious to be interviewed, Scully in par- ticular telling his story of the Drexler matter without waiting for a question on the subject. He said it was foolish to talk about Scully and Danaher influencing Drexier to institute the proceedings against Leonard and cited Assist- ant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes and Capt. Wm. Young of the Central District to prove that Drexier had bothered them with requests for warrants, He wanted Mr. Dierkes to give him six warrants against Leonard, but was told to take three and see what he could do with them. Mr. Dierkes asked him If he was doing It ot his own free will, and he said he was. He a few moments later admitted that it was partly because a certain evening sheet wantea Leonard prosecuted that he was tak- ing that action.’’ Thus Scully talked on for fully half an hour. He chen proceeded to detail the traps which Drexler set for Leonard in order to catch him and have evidence to prove a case of selling lottery tickets against him. Then he launched into the officers of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection and abused them roundly. Why don’t the Post-DISPATCH give usa little rest, and write up those fellows in there, sali he, waving his hand toward the court-room. Just take the books and see how many continuances have been taken. Weare always ready, but they want to wear outour witnesses. We ask to have the lot- tery cases called early on the docket, but Judge Campbell says it is the rule of the court for lottery cases to come last, and our witnesses have to stay until late in the afternoon. Look at the stuff those fellows pay Bob Goode and the rest of those attorneys for fighting these cases. Every timejthey want a continuance these lawyers have only to make up some sort of a story about having a case in the Circuit Court, and Judge Campbell gives them what time they want. These lawyers have to pull together to get the stuff out of the gamblers. Then, too, Claiborne is no better than Campbell. He gives first one continuance for the defendant then oneforthe State, then one Dy consent. If it is necessary, the Court orders the next one, and so it goes until our witnesses quit coming to court at all.’’ BE. A. DREXLER was seen this morning by a PosT- DISPATCH reporter and re-asserted what he had prev ously stated about Patrolman Scully. He not only got me to bring charges against Leonard, but against Morris Smith as well,“ remarked Drexler. ‘*Smith’s case will eome up to-morrowand I will then refuse to testify because I was instigated by Soully to bring the case. Scully told me that Leonard and Smith were trying to do me up and said ifI would take out warrants for them I would not bave to appear in court at all, Soully said he would attend to the arrest and I could sell all the tick I wanted to. He also promised to get me Dack a fine of $100 which the court had assessed me. He said I would be on the good side of theJpolice, and that I was a fool for ever stopping the sale of lottery tickets.

EO — — THE Civil Service Commission is to get a dose-of its own medicine. The charges thatit has been violating the law in its own department will probably be investi- gated. The House Committee on Civil Service Reform has decided to report a resolution to this effect favorably. This is eminently proper. The commission invites investigation as the quickest and surest method of settling the charges, many of them palpably foolish, which are quoted to discredit its work. The whole truth, good or bad, about the civil service system should be made known. — — — ———ſ;»ô Tux feature of the Frisco railroad case which strikes citizens as most remarkable is the fact thatthe State authorities had to be notified of the approaching lapse of the State’s right to collect adebtof nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. The excusé that the debt cannot be collected, or that it gives the railroad an opportunity to bring upa counter claim, is not good, because the authorities show by their ac- tions that they are utterly ignorant of the case. —U— — u — — Harrison and Heredity. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. We are inclined to believe that the President and not Mr. Blaine is responsible for the shameful attitude which the United States Government occupies toward the new Re- public of Brazil. The President hasn’t over- much faith in the ability of the people to govern themselves. He is essentially an aristocrat and we have no doubt that, way down in his heart, he is rather favorable to monarchical institutions. He has shown him- selfastrong believer in hereditary titles to office, and is himself a living monument to the great value ofa grandfather. Mr. Harri- son’s inherent distrust of the people and his anxiety to be on a very friendly footing with the reigning families of Europe, doubtiess explains the very shabby and altogether dis- graceful treatment which the administration has extended to the new South American Re- public. That Samoan Treaty. From the Springflelg Republican. How is it that the United States can guaran- tee the salary of any officersin the govern- ment of another country? This is precisely what we must do if the treaty ie ratified. We also join with Germany and England in guar- anteeing the salary of the Chief Justice if the native Government fails to pay his $6,000 annual stipend. The whole treaty is a mis- chievons and ill-advised document, un- American in its assumption of authority over another country and pledging us to a system of government foreign to the spirit of our democratic institutions. If we now aid Ger- many in advancing“ite hold on Samoa what prevents Germany from aiding us in gaining a lodging in Hayti or the Sandwich Islands? The Samoan treaty ia jingoism pure and simple, and should be rejected by the Senate. Boodle in Politics.

Trial Finishes Its Testi- mony This Morning. Witnesses Introduced by the Old Blacksmith to Prove His Mind Is Sound. Dr. Hughes’ Expert Testimony Concludes the Respondent’s Case—Dr. Gregory Be- lieves Mr. Mullery to Be Perfectly Sane F. J. Hennessy Denies Having Made Any Statement Derogatory to Mrs. Alves’ * Character—Mrs. Smith Also Testifies in Behalf—The Jurors; the Mefendant’s Complain That They Are Forced to Hear Outside Comment on the Case in the Court-Room—Incidents of the Trial. This morning the Probate Oourt was thronged with people who nad come to hear the testimony in the case of John Mullery, the aged blacksmith whose sanity Is being de- cided by ajury. People, packed almost like sardines, stood through the entire session. Mrs. Carlin, the youngest daughter of the de- tendant was seated beside her father, while Mr. and Mrs. John J. Conroy were near the attorneys forthe prosecution. Their young lady daughter was also present. The attorneys occupied considerable of the court’s time in wrangling over the admission of testimony and side remarks directed at each other, and speeches for the benefit of the jury. A number of times the Court repri- manded them for their methods, but it had little effect. The wrangles never got very warm or personal, however. Yesterday afternoon there war some expert testimony heard. Dr. Jerome K. Bauduy was put on the stand dy the attorneys for the chil- dren. Mr. Garesche read to hima hypothet- ical case which embraced all the points made in the testimony—the fact that the man was 83 years old, had been a steady drinker, was twice married; twelve years after his second wife’s death wanted to marry his step-daugh- ter; became engaged to a bakeress whose character was in question; disregarded the wishes of his children, to whom he was greatly changed, and married the bakeress, etc. When the case had been putto the doctor he replied that he wes as certain as ié he had the subject’s brain in his hands before him thatthe mind was unsound. The arteries that carry blood tothe brain were decaying, and the subject was suffering from senile de- mentia. The subject is likely to be entirely changed in character—where kind liable to become harsh, where chaste labie to become lewa. Dr. Frank R. Fry, Dr. W. Keating Bauduy and Dr. Shaw agreed with the first expert, when they were asked to pass upon the 5 Case. : rs. Carlin, a daughter of Mr. Mul- lery, who has not ugreed with her sisters and brothers in the prose- ctition of the case, was put upon the stand, She attended a church festival, where Kd Butler testified he had seen Mullery ‘‘mon- key with Mre. Julia Cassidy. Mrs. Gariin said she had seen nothing peculiar about her father’s conduct that pight. Did he ‘monkev’ with Mrs. Cassidy or any other woman?“ asked Mr. Johnson. 1 don’t understand what you mean by *‘monkeying.’ ’’ Mr. Johnson said that the term was used by Ed Butler, and he couldn't explain it. Did you see him put his hands on Mrs. Cassidy, feeling her? No, sir.“ In cross-examination Mr. Garesche asked: ‘*Why did you leave your husband?“ ‘*] won’t answer,’’ replied Mrs. Carlin. Mr. Johnson objected to the question bein? repeated, and while the question was being argued the witness said: ‘*I never left my husband. „Did you not, in conjunction with other members of the family, invite Mrs, Cassidy to your house several times to see if her presence would not divertthe old gentleman’s atten- tion from Mrs. Alves?’’ Mrs. Cassidy was invited to our house de- cause she isa nice woman. ‘*Miss Mamie O'Niel was also asked to come to your house to see if your father would get struck on her and shake Mrs. Alves?’’ „Miss Mamie O’Niel was invited to our house, and that may bave been the motive.’’ The witness did not agree with her sisters and brothers entirely, but she, too, objected to astepmother. Her father wanted for no home comforts, she said, and upon this polat her testimony was quite lengthy. O. P. Johnson of Mr. nilery’s counsel has received the following letter with regard to a portion of Mrs. Conroy's ,testimony heard several days ago in the case: BLOOMINGTON, III., Jan. 25, 1800. Hon. Chas. P. Johnson: HONORABLE Sinr—Having noticed my name mentioned by Mrs. J. J. Conroy in her evi- dence in the Mullery case as One of the parties that had improper relations with Mrs. Alves, 1 hereby state for the information of all inter- ested thatitisan infernal He, and 1 did not nor could not say anything contrary to Mrs. Alves“ virtne or character. As to Mrs. Conroy, I positively state, I never spoke to her, as I never made her acquaintance. As my business requires the most careful atten- tion I can give it, Iam unable to get away, or Iwould cheerfully and willingly go to St. Louis and state the above before the court. Hoping you will show this in vindication of allfurther remarks made about me in this casé, lam respectfully yours, P. J. HENNESSY, 1004 West Washington street, Bloomlugton, III. DR. CHARLES H. HUGHES, the medical expért, was the urst witness placed on the stand this morning. He was in- troduced to testify to the soundness of mind ot the defendant. A hypothetical case similar to that placed before Dr. Bauduy yesterday was stated to Dr. Hughes. In it a man 85 years of age was represented as marrying a woman 40 yéars or more his junior. — man had received a fall à dosen years ago, from which he was insensible for some time, and ever afterward his mind seemed changed ; he suffered from melancholia, and from a very devout Catholic drifted away from his chureh; the man’s memory became impaired and his conduct toward his children changed. The witness Stated that a man as stated in the bypothises be should not declare insane, though he was evidently . from the weakness.of mind which accompanied old age and his mind would not be thoroughly vigor- ous and strong. „The inquiry here is as to whether the in- dividual is of sound or unsound mind and con- forming your testimony to the statutory wording is this individual of sound or un- sound mind?’’ asked Mr. Garesche, ‘‘accepting the facts as stated in the hy- pothesis as true, then I bave already answered that the man is of unsound mind. is such unsoundpess of mind inclined to increase or decrease with old age?’’ It necessarily increases with age as the brain tissue decays.’ ig not such a person apt to be worked upon by designiug persons?’’ „The mind of such a person is impaired, and whileIdo not class such a case as de- mentia, he is certainty easily influenced.

Garesche asked if tremors in a man would make any difference. The witness replied its would indicate weak- ness of wind. Mr. Johnson asked if tremors could not arise from causes such as excessive smoking — not necessarily indicate mental weak- The witness replied that it might. ‘Woulda differencé in nationalityand of forty 2 in age between this man and wom- an indicate mental weakness on his part?“ asked Mr. Garesche. Not if the woman had énough money. (Laughter. Dr. Hughes, before leaving the stand, wished to explain that he did not think 4 change of mental belief at any age of life was an evidence of mental weakness, providing there was any cause for im. He merely held it might be taken as an evidence of mental weak- ness when the man, after being a member ofa cbhureh for years, left it without any apparent cause at an extreme old age. THE DEFENSE COMMENCED. This closed the case for the respondents. Patrick J. Hennessy was the first witness placed on the stand by the defense. He testi- fied: „1 am in the liquor business at Bloomington, Ill., and have been there since July last. Previous to that I worked in a store at No. 1901 Biddle street, thiscity. I came here because | saw statements published inthe newspapers connecting my name in an improper manner with Mrs. Alves, a woman whom I scearosly know. The statements were untrue. Inever told Mr. Conroy that I had any improper relations with Mrs. Alves, and I never had such relations with her.’’ On cross-éxamination the defendant ad- mitted having twice met John J. Conroy, but denied that he had ever told him that he had improper relations with Mrs. Alves, and never said he would meet her face to face and tell her that he knew she was of bad charecter. He had agreed to learn what he could df the woman’s character and let Mr. Conroy know what he discovered. He did tell Mr. Conroy that he had heard some- thing against her character but he never stated what it as he had little confidence in the veracity of what he had heard concerning ber. long enough to know much about her, If he had, and there was yee wrong about her, he would probably have learned it. did not go West because he was a — — and he was not accused of stealing before he left for the West. He never agreed to meet Joe Mullery and tell him anything of Mrs. Alves. MRS. MARY SMITH was placed on thé stand, she was a grandchild of the defendant’s second wife, and resided for some time in his house. She never noticed auy changé in bim as long as she knew him, and thought he was of sound mind. At times she saw him when be had taken too much liquor, but he was always able to take care of himself, When cross-examined Mrs. Smith admitted that she might have told Mrs. Conroy that if Mrs. Alves was a woman Of bad character she would shoot her ifshe was one of Mr. Mul- lery’s children rather than let her father marry the woman. She did stop at Mrs. Ly- nam’s house one night with her grandmother, who had left the defendant’s house because the grandmother and Mr. Mullery had quarreled. It was the only time they had any serious trouble, although they occasion- ally had some words. DR. BLISAH R. GREGORY was placed on the stand. He said in answer toa question in regard to his vie t **Ihopel have not reached the age of senile dementia.’’ [Laughter]. : The witness afterward ae yueen eae pd to being 65 years ofage. He had practiced med icine here for thé past forty years, aud had known Mr. Mullery for thirty years back. He believed him to be of sound mind and capa- bie of managing bie own affairs. Cross-oxamined the witness stated that he had not tried to learn whether the witness was of sound or unsound mind, as the thought of his being of unsound mind bad never oo- curred to the witness. The witness noticed no chan inhim, and he thought that for all practical purposes conversations were sumMficient to judge whether theoretically. He should judge Mr. Mulle was about 70 years ofage. The witness ad- mitted that, as he was getting along in years himself, the subject of sen ie dementia was rather distastefulto him and he supposed it should also be tothe court. [Lau 4 ood, for the defendant owed him a bill and remembered the fact and came to him unprompted and paid it. A man who did this displayed remarkable memory. [Lauguter.] The court refused to permit the cross- exawination of the witness as an expert, claiming he had not deen placed on the stand as one. When Dr. Gregory had concluded the court took a recess until 2:15 p. m. THE JURY HBARING OUTSIDE COMMENTS. While Mr. Hennessy was giving his testi- mony Charles P. Jobnson objected to John J. Conroy sitting near the gary and making comments on the case and testimony for their benefit. He asked that Mr. Conroy be required to take a seat away from the jury. Mr. Garesche said he needed Mr. Conroy to keep him posted eager the testimony of the witness Hennessy, and Conroy to be near him had to be near the jury. This was owing to the unfortunate arrangement of the courtroom. The defense had four 8 at the table while the prosecution ha — * one, so It had to have the party who was giving information concerning the testimony of witnesses seated near the jury.

The State Officials Still Debating Whether te Bring Suit Against the ’Frisco. Vice-President O'Day Makes a Discovery Which Nettles Him Greatly. He Says His Interest In the Frisco is That of an Owner, and Not en Account of a Salary—He Pays His Compliments to an Official Wuo Has Been Insinuating by Inuendo—The Governor and Atterney- General to Reach a Conclusion Here To- Morrow General Attorney Kenna Out- lines the Fosition of the State and the Railroad Company—Dificulty of Prov- ing Up the Company's Offset—General Points About Controversy. The discussion of the claim of the State against the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Co. will probably be ended here to-morrow, and if suit is brought it will in all likelihood be im the St. Louis Circuit Court, instead of that of Cole County. Gov. Francis and Attor- ney- General Wood will, according to the present plan, be here in the morning pre- pared to begin early and go ahead with the work. General Attorney E. D. Kenna and his assistant, Mr. L. F. Parker, of the Frisco ar- rived home last night and are prepared to furnish the State officials any further informa- tion or arguments desired. Vice-President aud General Counsel John O'Day also came don last night. He had intended to go to Washington, but concluded that he would re- main over to see the Attorney-General. The case has assumed a great deal more im- portance than had been attributed to it at the start, and there le now but little probability that the notes will be allowed to become outiawed because of the failure ef the State to begin sult, and thus save them, Mr. Kenna, speaking of the matter this morning, said that the expectation was that the matter WOULD BE KEPT QUIET unless suit was finally brought. He went to Jefferson City very quietly Monday morning, accompanied by his assist- ant, Mr. Parker, and was confident that no one in Jefferson City knew of his mis- sion. Heappeared before the Governor and Attorney-General and, assisted by Mr. Parker, made an argument four or five hours. They covered the ground very elaborately and quite naturally felt elated and confident oftheir position. hen, he sald, ‘‘after all this we gota telegram from St, Louis saying the PostT- DISPATCH had come out with the whole case. Wat is your opinion now; will the State bring suit or not?’’ was asked. „hat I cannot say. The Governor and Attorney-General have oarefully refrained fr mm expressing any opinions or in any way intimating what their action will be. Ido not believe, however, that they have any faith in the validity of the claim, but on the faintest 8 of ground to stand on they will bring sult TO ESCAPE TUE CRITICISM that would follow from some sources if they tall to do so. At the same time l regard them as fair and fearless and think they willi do what they think is richt and not attempt any injuatice to our company. r. Kenha has studied the case very care- fully, and is confident the State cannot re- cover as against the Frisco. Int does, he was asked, ‘‘can the State bar you from your offset?’’ Not at all. The claim andthe offeet grew out of precisely the same transaction, and we cannot be deprived of the benefit of one fea- ture of an action while another feature is en- foreed against us. **frrespettive of the State’s claim do you re- gard the company’s claim as valid?’’ „Most certainly. It has been so held by Col. Broadhead, Judge Rombauer and others equally prominent in the legal profession. Our claim is vaiid beyond dispute, but of course we cannot bring sult against the State, though we can certainiy recover if the State sues Our company. THE "FRISCO OFFICIALS are all very much interested in the case, inas- much as it has caused awreat deal of talk as to their reported differences. While Mr. Opay and Mr. Kenna, one as general counsel and the other as general attorney, both argued the case before the State Officials, they did so on different days, Mr. Mr. Keonna on Monday and Mr. O'Day on Tuesday, and on different lines of argument. When Mr. Kenna made his argument in Jeffer- son City Mr. O'Day was in St. Louls, and when r. O'Day made his argument, Mr. Kenna was attending to other business. The conference at which Mr. O'“ Day made his argument was, however, attended bya large number of the lawvers residing and present in Jefferson City. Their arguments were also made without consultation with each otner, eo that the State officiale got the benefit of in- dividuaiopinions representing the same side of the case. While at Jefferson City Mr. O'Day also looked up another side of the case. When seen this morning by a POST-DISPATOH re- porter he inquired as to the source of the insinuations as to the differences of opinion between the Frisco officiuis, and pre- suming that they came from persons connect- ed with the Frisco road said he would make it pleasant for whoever it was if he found it out. **Sueh a course, he sald, ‘‘is UNMANLY, SNEAKISH AND DISREPUTABLE for aman to inainuate by inuendo what Garé not come out openly and say.’’ **Did you hear anything in Jefferson City on this point?’’ was asked. es, the Attorney General rectiy that the matter had been insinuated to him by a person connected with the Frisco. Who it was or whatthe words were tnat were used be would not tell ma’’ Is there anything that can be sald about these reported differences?’’ Nothing. It there are any differences thev are for the owners of the property, and not for the public or people, who are not interest - ed in the property. I. and Mr. O'Day spoke warmly, as if appreciating an injustice done him, owa more than any other person west oftheriver. My interest is that of an owner, The interest of others is limited by their saia- ries. Lam heavily interested in stocks and bonds both, and have lost more in their de- preciation in the last six months thau I can make out of the company in six years. I have have faith in the company, however, and my stocks and bonds are in the Safe Deposit, here they will remain.’* THE STATE'S POINTER. Mr. O Day was asked in this connection if he knew bow the State got information as to the existence of the old South Pacific notes. ‘“*Teuppose in the regular course of busl- ness, hereplied, but of course I have no means of Knowing exactly. It has been in- timated that 1 was the cause of it, but that le all nonsense and not worthy of notice. Securities and other pa- pers held by the State are all of course in the custody of certain officers, and they are taken in stock annually just asa banker would run over his securities, or as a merchant would run over his stock of goods. I do not voally know who holds such papers as hese, but I presame it is the Secretary of State or the Auditor. They would of course run over all papers intheir posses- sion, annually, and in that way would notice those thie character. Then while Gov. Francis is a young man, and young in politics, there are men there who know alt about the existence of these notes. Seibert is an old man there, 60 is Noland. There is also a man there who has been ia position for fifteen yoare or more. Mr. O'Day yesterday raised the point that it would be unjust to make the raliroad com- pany prove its offset after nearly all of THE WITNESSES ARE DEAD — of Pe geet lost. ~- By asked mo company would able to 1 evidence as to all of the offset ; Py not all, he sald, but consider. | to overb he told me dl * 94 3 * & W r . r 8 ‘ 2» > t= — ca” 11 Pets \y ~ * > a 7 — ‘ clalth, 1 was with the South Pa- all the BL oN; S08, ere ors cores .

Do you think, after paving been at Jeffer- son City, sult will be brought?’’ „Jean not say any more as to tnat than de- fore. The Attorney-General did got signity what he would do, ana of course 1 could not ask him. I wouldn't give 61,000 not to have It brought, though. „„What would be THE EXPENSE OF THE SUIT if it is brought and carried through?’’ **Consideradbly more than the amount. In the neighborhood of $15,000 or $20,000, I pre- sume. The State would also have a bear expense. It would employ special counsel, presume. I understand Col. Broadhead is talked of or will be engaged. „It was stated yesterday that a suit brought in Cole County several years ago had been dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Can you explain that?’’ No, any Cireult Court in the State would have jurisdiction. Cases of this kind have generally been broughtin Cole County, for the convenience of the Attorney-General and of the State. In fact, at that time there was a special provision on this point.’’ 13 Will the sult be brought this timer? „That, of course, remains with the Attor- ney-General, If brought at all I presume it might be brought here.’’ As to the suit being brought, Mr. O'Day re- iteratea his opinion, expressed on Monday that if there was a shadow of hope for it, it would be instituted. THE POSITIONS DEFINED. General Attorney Kenna was questioned to- day as tothe positions of the State and the railroad company. He said neither of them had been 12 as they are, though the Poser DISPATOH had given the history of the trans- actions very closely. 80 far as the State is ooncerned, its position had not been degned. Attorney-General Wood had not, he said, told him what he thought, or what line he proposed to proceed upon, but in the course of his own argument he had i been enabled to tell what it is with reasonable accuracy. It was always easy, he said, through interruptions and remarks, to gather the outline of the position of the oppos- ing side. This he had done, and thought the positions so far as the public had been given them were unjust to both the railroad com- pany and the State. He then summarized the positions briefly, as follows: THE STATE'S CLAIMS. 1. That by the act ot 1868 under which the Southwest Pacific Railroad was sold to the South Pacific Co., the latter company oll gated itself to pay to the State $300,000 in three equal installments, on June 1, 1874, June 1. 1875, and June 1, 1876. 2. That in 1870 the South Pacific and the Atiantic & Pacific companies consolidated under the act ot March 24, 1870, and by tne provisions ot that act the Atlantic & Pacific Co. was required to assume all obligations and liabilities of the South Pacific Oo. to the State. 8. That by the deed from the South Pacific to the Atlantic & Pacific, executed in 1870, the Atlantic and Pacific assumed the payment ofa certain mortgage in that deed described, and ‘‘all other debts and obDligatious of the sald South Pacific Railroad Co. 4. On January 31, 1880, a traffic agreement was made between the St. Louis & San. Fran- cisco Railway Co., the Atlantic & Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe Rallroad Cos., looking to the construction of the west- Ineluded in from Albuquerque to Mojave. of all this agreement was a schedule the debts of the Atlantic & Pacific Co. then known to either arty as therein recitea. This alleged debt to the State was not included in this statement and was unknown to avy of the parties to that agreement. Ry that traffic agreement the St. Louis & San Francisco Raliway Co. assumed the debts contained in the above named schedule as well as all other debts and-lia- bilities of the Atiantic & Pacific Rallroad Co.“ ‘The position of the State is that the $800,000 of purchase money has never deen paid by the South Pacific company. That it was as- sumed in two ways by the Atiafitic & Pacific company in 1870, and thereby be- came a new and original promise of that oy ag be That this debt was in turn assumed by the St. Louls & San Francisco Co. in the tripartite agreement of January 81, 1880, and in turn became anew and original promise on the part of the St. Louls & Sah Francisco Co., and hence the statutory period has never transpired and will not transpire until January 31, 1890. THE RAILROAD COMPANY CLAIMS 1. That When the State sold the South west Pacific Ralfroad to tite South Pacific Co. it guaranteed that the property was free from all liens and incumbrances placed thereon by the Southwest Pecific Rallroad Co, That after ite purchase the South Pacific Co. found that it was not tree from such liens and incumbrances but, on the contrary, was subject to a morteage in favor or Yelverton & Ward as trusteesifor $5,000,000 and thatin orderto clear its title from such en- cumbrance the South Pacific company was obliged to expend $600,000. Tnat for this reason when the debt bere in question became due to the State instead of the South Pacitic owing the State the amount ofthat debt the State owed the South Pacific the difference between $300,000 and the $600,000 which it had been obliged to exnend in order to free its property from this incumbrance ageinst which this State had covenanted. At this time the question of the lidbility of the State to the South Pacific Co. for the money thus expenceéd wus submitted to able counsel separately, among them to Judge R. E. Rombauer, now the Tlresiding udge of the St. Louis Court of Appeals; Judge W. B. Napton, for many years Judge of the Supreme Court of this State and Messrs. Sharp & Broadhead, a firm which at that time and since has stood as high as any other in the city. The opinions given by these eminent jurists all conour that tne State was liabie in equity and justice to the South Pacific Rall- road Oo. forthe whole amount expended in extinguishing the lien of the Yelverton & Ward mortgage. 2. That the South Pacific and the Atlantic & Pacific were never consolidated, and for that reason never accepted or were required to ac- cept the provisions of the act of 1570,requiring consolidated companies to assume the obli- gations and liabilities to the State which bad rested upon either of the original companies. 8. That the language in the deed from the South Pacific to the Atianric & Pacific in 1870, when properly construed does not include any debt except that specifically named and that the words ‘‘other debts and liabilities’’ will be construed to refer to mortgage or lien debts only. @ 4. That in order to take advantage of the promise contained in that deed, even if it were made, the State must have assented to the *substitution of debtors and canceled the original obligation to the South Pacific Co. That having failed to do this until after the statute of limitations had run upon the orig- inal obligation, she cannot now give such as- sent. * On this point the rallroad oompany con- fidently relies, not ents upon the iapse of time, but upon the conduct of the State by ite officers in recognizing and insisting on liabil- ity on the original bond and in bringing sult l that bond as late as 1876. . Thata proper legal construction of the tripartite agreement of 1880 will not include this debt, and even if it should be held that the language contained in that agreement was broad enough to cover it, as this debt was not known to or contemplated by either of the parties to that reement, equity will so re- strict the general language used as to make lt — to such matters as were contempiated and intended to be included bythe parties themselves, and as it appears upon the face of this agreement that this debt was not don- templated or even known to any of the par- ties, it will not be construed to be included within its terms.

Broadway and Locust. the absurd custom that had been prevalent from time immemorial by which the physi- cian of the Empress was not allowed to ap- proach the couch of his august patient nearer than three feét, neither was he permitted on any account to touch her, evento feel her pulse. The late Empress, the mother of the present Czar, was an extremely delicate lady, and was at one time troubled with an obsti- nate and trying gastric affection which baffled all attempts of the court physicians to relieve it. The Czar had heard a great deal of the skill of Dr. Botkine in treating such MALADIES, and so he gave orders that he should be called in. When the physician came to pay his first visit and found that he was forced to stand at last a yard distant from the patient while making his diagnosis, be left the sick room without prescribing, and went straightway to the Emperor. 1 cannot, your Majesty, venture to prescribe for the Empress without being ailowed to find out first what ails her, and that I cannot do without being allowed to feel her pulse, to examine her tongue, and to learn from her own lips the nature of her symptoms,’’ said the doctor. The Czar rose from his seat withoutsaying a word, and, taking Dr. Botkine by the arm, be walked him straightway into the Empress sick-room and led him up to the very bedside of the august invalid. ‘*There, Doctor, quoth Alexander II., **now treat my wife as though she were the poorest peasant woman in all my domin- lons. The doctor asked nothing better, and so exercised his skill that from that hour the Empress began to recover. And from that date the absurd semi-Oriental ideas respecting the 1 of Russia when III nave been replaced by a more common-sense mode of action. The fair young Queen Mer- cedes of Spain, the first wife of the late Al- phonso XII., died a victim to the court eti- quette of Spain, which forbids the Queen of that country from being attended by any save a Spanish physician. She was attacked with typhoid fever and the malady speedily assumed a dangerous form. There ex- isted then in Madrid an Austrian doctor whose skill in treating typhold fever was world renowned. He was waited upon by a court official and was asked to prescribe for the Queen without see- ing her from the mere description of ber symptoms. This he refused to do, offering, however, to use his best endeavors to save her if he were allowed to observe her counte- nance and general condition from the door of the sick room and without entering. He was informed thatsuch a privilege could by no means be granted to aforeigner. ‘*Then I can do nothing, he answered. ‘‘I refuse to undertake the case on such conditions. A week later the poor young sufferer died. It is no wonder that the present Queen Regent of Spain made it a condition of her marriage that she should have an Austrian 1 Dor - manentiy attached to her household. Louor H. HOOPER.

NICHOLLS, and La Popa they decided to become at once American citizens. Soon afterward La Popa appeared off the coast and a landing party was sent asbore. At once the Indians ran up the American flag, and the firing of the signal gun soon broughta large force of armed Indians to the spot. They were led by a chief of valor and reputation, who, stepping out before his men, delivered an address to the Colombian commander, in which he as- serted that the San Blas Indians were Amer- loans and would fight under the American flag. The forces from the gunboat were di- rectea to return {wmediately aboard their vessel or suffer the consequences. The Colombian commander had no al- ternative, so he and his men 0bdarded their vessel and steamed down the coast. Here a second landing was made and here a second time the Indians assembled in force and declared themselves American. Again they demanded the return of the Colombian forces on board La Popa. The Colombians retired on board and La Popa sailed away. There are said to be 30,000 Indians in the San Blas country and an attempt by the Colom- bian Government to subdue them would be fraught with great expense and difficulty. They are a brave and hardy race and, like the North American Indians, will su mit to the greatest physical pain without a murmur. HEBREW CHARITY BALL.

Secretary Walker Beginning the Prelim- inary Work to Club Organization. The Democratic headquarters in the Temple building are being furnished and by the next meeting ofthe committee they will be fitted up in nice style. Chairman Maffett and Secretary Frank Walker are getting to work in earnest to carry out the plans of the com- mitte to thoroughly re-organize the State. They are putting themselves in communica- tion with the leading Democratic politicians in the different parts of the State in order to secure their hearty co-operation in the work to be undertaken, The committee is determined to restore the old time Demo- cratic majority if energy will do it. They bave contracted for a bulk of Democratic literature, and will eee that it is well distributed. Secre- tary Walker has already sent out to the var ous school districts of the State the constitution and by-laws of the new Democratic clubs which it is pro- ed by the committee to have formed n school districts and also circulars contain- ing full information in regard to the commit- tee’s intentions on the subject of organiza- tion. Inaweek or so he expects to receive returns, and the history of each club, its strength, name of officers, etc., will be sys- tematically kept, so that the committee can go into the next campaign in a businessiike way. AN BARLY CONVENTION. There is considerabie talk going on all over the State now about the adVisability of an early Democratic convention. A great many of the politicians, and especially those who are candidates, wish it. Oneof the principal reasons given why an early convention should be held this year is that as there area great number of candidates for Supreme Judge, Railroad Commissioner and Superintendent of Public Schools, and therefore likely to be considerable disappointment after the convention, plenty of time should be given the defeated candidates to get over their pets“ and come out and work for the ticket. Another reason is that there might be a long campaign to get the new organization to working smoothiy. Heretofore the con- ventions have been held in July or August, but there is a big demand this year fora June convention.

A New and Effective System of Investiga- tion Inaugurated, The Associated Charity workers have adopt- edanew system which, from results so far observed, will be of practical benefit to the needy poor of St. Louis. The Association has the very dificult work of investigating all reported cases of poverty, sickness and destitution and then turning them over to the relief associations. Hereto- fore agreat many cases were heard of and investigated through the medium of the daily press, which printed the police reports; now the system has been changea and the police reports are sent direct to the office of the association and are investigated immediately. This system suves a good deal of time and prevents imposition. The association geta the reports a day sooner than if it waited for their publication, and unless cases are worthy they are not touched. Mr. Grant Tilden, Vice-President of the As- sociation, sald this morning’ We have ten cases here, reported within three days. Three of these are absolutely unworthy of help, so that had the papers published tbese cases before we got the reports people outside might have sent them money or clothes when they did not deserve it, [ think you will find thatthe new system will work very nicely.’’ This practice of working di- rect from the police reports has been in oper- ation dut ashort time but in that time its success bas beenso marked that it will be continued. FATAL EXCITEMENT. A New York Fruit Dealer’s Row With Three Women. Rv Telerranh to the Post-Drsratcn. New YOrK, Jan. 29.—John Davis, a‘thrifty Portuguese fruit dealer at 26 Front street, Brooklyn, rented the big tenement in which he lives and carries on his business and also the one adjoining. Nearly all the occupants of both houses are Itallans and Portuguese. Yesterday afternoon Mis. Mary Vesey, who lives onthe top floor of 28, and some other woman were having a good time. Davis told them to make less noise, and also that he thought they had been working the growler too freely. The women laughed at him in scorn and told him to mind his own business. Mre. Anhie McDonald of 52 Concord street, a was particularily indignant. Davis ld Her that she would have to get out, nd, taking hold of her by the arms, ied her own stairs. As they were about to descend he stoop the woman turned around and #irauck Davis a hard blow with her clenched onthe side of the head, staggering him. II proceeded down the stoop alone and entered his little fruit store in the adjoining basement. Here Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Verey and some other woman fol- lowed him andasouffie followed. It does not seem that Davis, who was 65 years old, received any additional blow, but the women upset som of the store fixtures and the ex- cited man ran out, as it is supposed, to call a policeman. He staggered on reaching the sidewaik and fell dead before he had got ten steps from his own door. The single blow which he had received left no mark anc death is supposed to have resulted from heart fail- ure, brought on by shock and excitement. The woman, McDonald, was arrested and rs. Vesey and Mrs. McDonald were held as witnesses. „ DEEP-SEATED COUGH cruelly tries the Lungs and wastes the eneral strength. A prudent resort for the afflicted isto Dr. D.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcn. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 29.— Harry Miles, alias Julius Weinburg, has so worked on the superstitious fears of Mrs. Dora Bradley, an aged colored woman of Broadway, in this oity, thatshne gives him money on demand. On the occasion of his last visit $140 of her money disappeared from the piace where he had seen her place it. He was arrested yes- terday, but she refused to testify against him because she believes that he is Prince Greto and has been sent by the angels to procure for money a place for her in heaven. She thinks that the angels, after using the money tem- — 1 in her behalf, will return it in full ut those who know Miles say that he is not that kind of an angel.

MR. JOHN MEIFR BUYS THE COLLIER PROP- ERTY AT FOURTH AND MORGAN. Proposes Improving: the Site With a Large Building in the Near Future Effect of the Purchase on Nerth Fourth Street Interests—Other Real Estate Sales and Transactions. - The purchase of a down town business cor- ner for $78,000 was perfected to-day and a deed to the premises froin the Collier estate to Mr. John Meiler has in all probability been filed. This is an especially interesting transaction to real estate operators, from the fact that the ground sold is somewhat beyond the confines of what is—§generally looked upon as the new progressive business center, where many capitalists seeking a re- munerative return from an investment would like to buy. It is an important deal also from the fact thatthe site passes from the owner- ship of parties who have held it many years without making any improvements worthy of the name, to the possession of a manu- facturer who ultimately intends constructing a building upon the corner which shall bein keeping with the new order of progress in the commercial center, where a great number of costiy trade structures have been erected within the past five years. Mr. Meter, the purchaser, is now located on the south side of Morgan street near Fourth street. Mr. Meiler says thatthe income gives bim a good percentage upon his investment and he indends for the present to let the old houses remain as they are until he gets ready to tear them away to make room for some- thing better. The sale of this property will have a marked effeet on reviving interestin what has been regarded the dead end ofa prominent street which is rapidly recuperating from the set back it had three years ago, when the princi- al retall merchants commenced moving from ourth street to Broadway. That exodus though did not make Fourth street north of Washington avenue much worse tban it was before, but it has now fairly started on the up grade, for the stores vacated to the south have been pretty nearly all re-occupied bya new set of thrifty merchants, who have already recov- ered to the thoroughfare much of its old-time prestize. 0 Another very potent element in enhancing the durability and value of Fourth street prop- erty is several new bulldines contemplated or now in course of construction upon it. The Boatmen’s Bank, atthe corner of Washing- ton avenue, which will cost about $500,000, is raised to the second story. Atthe corner of Locust the grandest commercial! building in the West isto be commenced in afew days, andina very short time the old Everett House will be torn away to make room for * new building for the Meacham Arms Co. The Laclede »uilding atthe corner of Olive, has been built and proven to be a paying investment since Fourth street started on a decline, and many other circumstarces and enterprises have combined and are continuing to exert a beneficial influ- ence upon the old thoroughfare. DELMAR AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS. Delmar avenue property owners are pleased thatthe amended charter of the Newstead Avenue Railway provides that its terminus shall be at Finney and News:ead. This will exemnpt Delmar avenue from being croseed by the proposed electric railway, and that in connection with the proposed removal of the Lindell Rallway tracks west of Grand avenue promises to make Deimaracontinuous thoroughfare free from objectionable features all the way out to Taylor. In anticipation of this desirable change it is understood that real estate own- ers on Delmar, between Grand and Vande- venter, are now considering the matterol a wood block pavement in substitution for the present Telford roadway.

Rival Societies to Parade the Streets on the Same Night. Rv Telerranvh to the Post-DIsPatcn. NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 29.—There is 80 much interest in the coming Mardi Gras cele- bration thaton the great caraival night two ofthe carnival societies propose to parade simultaneously, an event unprecedented in celebrations of this kind. Both societies have expended many thousand ofdollars in prep- aration and neither is disposed to give way to the other. The Mystic Krewe of Comus and the Knights of Proteus, each claim the right to the night. Mayor Shakespeare has been endeavoring to bring about a conference between the leaders of the two organizations, but has been unable to do 80, and has received assurance that both or- ganizations are stilladhering to their deter- mination to parade, and that each willtakea separate route, the Proteus gg to secure the wae of way on Canal street. it is feared that if two processions turn outon the same night and take different routes there will be no end of confusion, anda glamor will be thrown over the pleasantness of the night carnival parades, His honor expressed his intention to write tothe Chief of Police, instructing him to accord the rightof way to the organization which appears first on the streets andto prevent the other from inter- fering. Asthe police will, of course, be at the head of each procession, that will not be a difficult matter to settle. The Mayor will also write to both societies expiaining te ac- tion and this may have the effect of inging about the settlement of the difficultics: THE only diamond medal awarded for su- perior ‘was received by Gueria. 9 1 es, r 1 Pte ~~ Cg te ce) * N we a A SP ae oe inc? ‘ * ‘ 2 oe Sk . see A a oe . . el ie 1 the following programme: _inson, D. and B.

BUYERS TRICKED, The Sale of Alleged Old Traps From the Jumel Mansion. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, Jan. 29.—An odd little trouble has arisen overthe late sale of old traps from the Jumel mansion. It is now alleged that Washington, Morris, Burr, Hamilton, Lady Jumel and the old orig!- nay Jumel never used the old kur- niture aforesaid. This allegation comes first from Mrs. Nelson Chas, a former occupant of the house that Morris built, who maintains that she moved every stick and trinket of the ancient regime to her present abode in New Jersey when she vacated. It is confirmed by Mr. R. R. Haines, who said yesterday that a couple years ago he hired the house empty because it seemed suited to bis old furniture, and summonsd an auctioneer to sell the ‘‘oulls’’ of bis furniture, as he wanted to move into rooms down town and found that ne had too mach. He ciaims that he told the auctioneer that none of the house contents ever belonged to the Jumel estate. He declares that visitors always insisted that it did, despite all he could say. ‘*Neighbor- hood gossip,’’ be maintains, is responsibie for the mistake. Auctioneer Richmond, on his part, insists that Mre. Haines, in the pres- ence of his four men, pointed out one of the beadsteads as ‘‘the ashiagton ded, and otherwise led him to lnfer that the furniture was the original outfit of the house, Besides, countlese Harlem ladies testified in his hear- ing before the sale, that they had seen this and that article in the Jumel house under Mrs. Chase’s reign, and they even gave him the address of a gentieman who familliarly clapped one of the old tables on the back saying he had dined from it in the Jumei house fifty years ago. When a reporter called on this antediluvian witness at No. 388 East Eighteenth street last evening he had very properly gone to bed. As for that paint- ed, wooden, buckhorn, brass and Ar can- delabrum, Mr. Haines said the $76 bid for it wouldve refunded if desired. Mr. Richmond stated that it was bought through a clerk for Mr. Ely at Mr. Shaw’s request for Mr. Frank Tefft, the Broadway dry goods merchant, who is delighted with it and proposes to keep it, even if it never has illuminated the bald pate of the late Mr. Jumel.

THE SALARIES COMMITTEE GATHERING FACTS AND FIGURES ON PAT-ROLLS. Lists Being Sent in From All the Depart- ments—No More Sprinkling Inspectors Wanted—Work on the City Halil Plans Progressing—The House of Delegates Makes a Blunder. The special committee of three from the Council and three from the House appointed especially to look into the salary accounts of the city, witha view to retrenchment and re- form, has not as yet had a meeting, but has nevertheless been getting in some good licks, The Auditor was requested to make up a table of salaries for each department and several of the employes of that department have been unusually busy for the last few days with tne books. From the Auditor’s office several requests have been sent to the heads of departments requesting them to lend a hand and make up their lists as the Auditor’s office had as much as it could handle, A very formidable list went up yes- terday from one of the offices which has to do with the water supply and another equally as formidable went from one of the members of the Board of Public Improvements. While these little preliminaries are being arranged the members of the committee are quietly posting themselves as to the detalls of certain positions now occupied by those who seem to have much business on street corners and in drinking resorts in the vicinity of the municipal headquarters. There is a griey- ance committee on the south side of the City Hall building, second floor, which is teking an active interest in the suffect in the behalf of the salaried employes and there is a good deal of talk about a keep-your- mouth-shut organization which will rf clude all who are espadble of giving any information on the subject of salaries or work. The com- mittee, in any event, will have a tough job if it intends to do any work. The heads of de- partment are not at all inclined to let 1 of any of their employes and are not very likely to say that their offices have any superfluous attachments to them. The committee is de- termined, however, to reduce expenses and will not leave any method of obtaining infor- mation untried, and hope that when the time for making up the annual appropriation bill comes around there will be more money for the streets and sewers and other improve- ments which are so badly needed.

One section of the bill of eight lines in length provided January 1, 1890 the price be 90 cents per 1,006 cubic, feet and another section immediately after it makes the pro- vision that on and after the passage of the ordinance the law shall take effect. This bill has been the subject of any amount of discussion, yet the legislators in them could not see so plain a discrepancy in their work,and then they wonder how the gas com- panies always succeed in getting the best of them. The result ofthis single blunder is to delay the measure about two meetings, The New City Hall. The three plans for the new City Hall which the vommission set aside as most worthy of consideration have been sent to Mr. James McGrath, one of the best known st.

He is now occupied in making up a careful and thorough estimate of the cost of the work under each pian; this in itself is a piece of work of no little difficulty, as the amount of money to be spent is $1,000,- 000, which is distributed in detalls all over the entire building.

Suicide of James RKigney, at One Time Haverly’s Backer, By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. New York, Jan. 29.—Patrons u the saloon kept by Byron Cross at No. 783 Eighth avenue have for a long time been accustomed to the daily visits there of a gray-haired, white- bearded man whose custom it was to drop into the place every morning, s:noke a cigar and read the newspapers. From his military bearing and hig reticent, dignified manner he came tobe known as the Major., an very few of the habitues of the resort knew his name. The r’’ was about 60 years of age. He was always neatiy dressed, though his clothes were far from new, Yesterday forenoon ubout II o’clock he en- tered the saloon, walked into a closet and, placing a 82-caliber revolver to his right tem- pie, fired and fell dead.

AN ARMY OF MEN CLEARING THE RAU ROAD TRACKS, Ne Change for the Better—Snow Six Feet Higher Than the Engine Cabs—Trains Buried Completely Gut of Sight—Severe Storms in Eastern Nevada and Utah— Theatrical Troupes Caught. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.—Senator Stan- ford, President of the Central Pacific Rall road, has received a report from San Fran- cisco, giving an account of the snow blockade in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is said that there has been nochange for the better, and that west-bound trains cannot be started. On both sides of the mountains the snow is from three to six feet higher than the engine cabs and snow plows and plungers are of no use as they cannot throw the snow out of the cuts. The steps have been taken off the cars to prevent them from being torn off by the co. In Eastern Nevada and Utah heavy storms have prevailed and many engines have been blown off the track. Three fire- men and two engineers are said to have been killed in this way. A number of trains which started outfrom Ogden have been derailed by the ice and are heipless. The snow sheds are covered with such immense masses of snow that it is feared they will be crushed in. In some places the telegraph wires are buried from 10 to 12 feet. About a mille north of Upper Soda Springs a snow-siide came down the mountain and dammod the river completely. Trees two and three feet thick were broken off like pipe- stems. At Ashland another severe storm has set in and all passengers have been sent back to Portjand. The storm on the Central Pacific has been the w teverknown. It has been snowing at Ogden since December 20, and some trains are buried completely out of sight. The com- pany has 2,500 extra men at work and all pro- visions have to becarried on snow shoes. In some cuts the snow is forty and fifty feet deep. The Central Pacific expects to bring all ite trains in to-day, as they think they have succeeded in raising the blockade.

Snow Bound Actors and Actresses. NEW Lokk, Jan. 29.— The main subject of in- terest among theatrical people is the great snow blockade on the Central Pacific which has keptthree companies snow-bound in the Sierra Nevadas and closed several theaters on account of the failure of these companies to meet their dates. The loss to managers ig es- timated to amount to thousands of dollars, while to the players, who are losing their salaries while locked up in the snow ofthe mountains, the money damage, though smaller in amount, is likely to prove even more serious, because they are not so well able to stand it as the managers. In addition to thisthe actors and actresses are reported to be actually suffering from want ot proper food and the cold, and the effect of their experience is likely to remain with some of them tothe end of their lives. The Howard Specialty Co. has been the longest sufferer from the blockade, having already been snowvdound in one car at Shady Run, Cal., for fourteen days. During tbis time the company hus lived principally upon what is known as packed food, salt meat und fish prepared for winter consumption at the smaller towns along the railroad. To men and women like Miss Irwin and George Thatcher, to whom champagne suppers and wine dinners have become almost a necessary of life, food of this kind is not likely to digest well. Then, too, the fuel has given out, and the occupants of the snow- bound cur are obliged to suffer cold as well as hunger. Rich & Harris of Boston, the pro- prietors of the company, have been doling all in their power to get the people back to civil- ization and warm dinners. They sent arep- resentative to Sacramento over the Southern Pacific, and he has made arrangements with the railroad to get the company back to Sac ramento, as there is no probability of its pro- gressing toward the East for the present. rom Sacramento tho company will goover the -Bouthern Pacific to Kansas City, which it is hoped to reach to-night. Under this pro- gramme Rich & Harris expect to open atthe Olympic Theater, St. Louis, next Sunday, if the people are sufficiently recruited by that time. A dispatch to Mr. Harris, who is now in this city, saystaat the company is com- letely exhausted and suffering from want of nourishment. The ‘‘Shonandoah’’ company is still snowed in about nine miles from Wadaworth, Nev. Ai Hayman telegraphed to Charles Frohman yesterday that possibly the company may be Aug out“ in time to reach San Francisco Friday. The track for twenty-seven miles is covered with snow and ice, which is very difi- cult to remove. The Baldwin Theater has been closed all the week and will continue so until Monday, when ‘‘Shenandoah’’ will be produced if the company is fortunate enough to get there. Roland Reed and his company are also lost in the snow somewhere on the Central Pacific, but nobody seems to know where. The Cali- fornia Theater in San Francisco, where they were to have opened last Monday, is closed and will remain eo until some definite news is received of Reed and his people. The opening of the new Markham Opera- house in Portland, Ore., has been postponed for a week because the Emma Juch Co. has been unable to get to Portland. The Pear! of Pekin’’ company has escaped the perils of the snow, butit is blockaded be- tween Fresno and Los Angeles by a washout. Taken altogether, the players’ pilgrimage to the Pacific coast this season can hardly be regarded as an overwhelming success. A Brighter Outlook, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 29.—It now seems probable that the great blockade on the Sierras will soon be over. The big rotary plow has been dug from the snow in Cascade Canon, and has done splendid work since. The track is now clear as far as the plow can clear it. The snow it has been passing through was nearly as hard as ice and averaged twenty feet. The railroad officials state that the only obstruction now is abouta foot of hard trampled snow and ice which covers the rails for a considerable distance. This must be removed by picks und shovels. Ine officials think the blockaded trains will reach here to-day. The trains have two weeks’ mall. The high water has gone down all over the State and washouts and land- slides are generally repaired. Great damage has been done to roads and bridges. The blockade on the California & Oregon Railroad still continues and there is little prospect of breaking it fora week yet. There is no com- munication north except by steamer. The revenue cutter Kush took a large amount of mall to Portland last evening, the regular line of steamers refusing the reguiar compensa- tion offered by the Government.

The Bostonians Score an Success in Don Quixote’’—-Other Entertainments, The Bostonians presented their new opera, Don Quixote,’’ at the Olympic last night to awell-tilled house. It was the first time the opera had been seen here, and the audience went away highly pleased with it in all its de- tails. The basis of the plot is the entangled love affairs of Don Fernando and Dorothea, and of Cardenio and Lucinda, well-known charac- ters, in the Spanish satire. With them are mixed up the most laughable incidents in Don Quixote’s career, the fight with the windmill, the mishap with Mambrino’s helmet, Sancho Panza’s appolntment as Governor, the ride on the wooden horse, etc. As for the music, the work is very melodious. A little Jnterrupted serenade by Pedro, the village barber, witn which the curtain goes up, is followed bya solo by Dorothea, which was very warmly re- ceived. Don Quixote and Sancho were in- troduced by a most iudicrous march. A Mad- rigal quartette comes soon after, followed later on by a quartette in ‘‘Negustan Todas,’’ the old Spanish melody which is also a feature introduced into Carmen, and which is delight- fulin both. The act winds up with Quixote’s well-known arrest and removal in the cage. In the second act the features are a waltz son by Dorothea, a serenade by Don Quixote an the chorus a trio with the catching lines; **A married man may be full of guile, But a warried woman may’nt,’’ and a bolero by Lucinda which was sung and danced beautifully. The last act is given largely to Sancho’s troubles with the Govern- orship ofthe Island which he has so long hoped for. The company last night all did splendid work. Mr. Barnabee as the Don, and Mr. Frothingham as his faithful squire were all that could be asked. Jessie Bartlett Davis as Dorothea was warmly applauded, and Ju- liette Cordon as Lucinda danced and sang to the delight of the audience. W. H. McDonald, Eagene Cowles, Edwin Hoff, Josephine Bart- lettand all the others in the cast were very satisfactory. „Suzette, which made a hit on Monday evening, will be given to-night, and Don Quixote’’ will be repeated on Thursday even- ing next. If all the good things said of it last night get much repetition it will crowd the Olympic at ite next performance. , All the other theaters had good houses last evening. Primrose & West’s Minstrels, at Pope’s, were inthe lead in this respect, the house being crowded, as it has been since the opening on Sunday. Jim the Penman,’’ at the Grand, The Paymaster,’’ at the Peo- pie’s, and The Blue and Gray, at the Standard, were well patronized. The sale of seats for next week’s attractions begin to-morrow. They are as follows: Grand, Ullie Akerstrom; Olympic, Howard Athenwum Specialty Co.; Pope’s, Hoyt’s 4 Rag Baby; Peopie’s, Chas. Erin Verner; Standard, ‘‘After Seven Years.’’ The Becthoven Soiree. Memorial Hall was packed to the doors by an intelligent audience last evening for the first soiree of the Beethoven Conservatory. An entertaining programme, which displayed the proficiency of the pupiis to « marked de- gree, was rendered. Of the instrumentalists who gave most creditable performances were Misses Lillian Pike, Bertha Sechler, Millie A. Harding and Lydia Guether in a quartette for piano, Miss Bessie Schuetz in a plano solo, Master Louis Levy in a violin solv, Miss Grace Johason in a piano solo, with quln- tette accompaniment, and particularly Miss Clara Oss man in a piano solo with accompani- ment, Miss Ruth Collins in a violin solo, and Miss Nellie Allen a skilful rendering of Hum- mel's Concerto B Minor on the piano. Mme. Clark's vocal pupils showed In marked degree the care and skill of their teacher. Miss Mamie Charles sang Tanbert’s bird song in clear, sweet voice, and with ease and skill of execution: Miss Josie Singer sang Giosa’s *“*Stamburelll, Bolero’’ effectively, and Miss Urilla McDearmon proved her possession of an excellent pure contralto in Wecherlein’s My Heart Is Sad.“ Ihe terzetto ‘‘Madre Shbinmo Amore, by Campana, sung by Misses Charles, McDearmon and Mr. Jesse Cozzens was one of the gems of the programme, all 3 was received with gencrous appreci- ation. The Symphony Concerts. Much interest is being taken in Joseph Ot- ten’s first Symphony concert, which takes Place at Entertainment Hall to-morrow even- ing, with Mrs. Corinne Moore Lawson of Cin- cinnati as soloist. There has been a very encouraging advance sale of seats, nearly all of which is forthe season of three concerts. This is a very clear indication of thé progress of musical culture in St. Louis. Ten years ago itwould have been avery risky under- taking, indeed, phony concerts like these Mr. Otten Is to give. The programme is such that it guarantees a rare treat in vocal and orchestral music. The concert deserves the success which it will un- doubtedly have to-morrow evening. THE MAKSHALSHIV MUDDLE. Mayor Noonan Will Hear Legal Arguments on the Question. Mayor Noonan has decided to constitute himselfa court for the construction of the city election laws bearing on the marshalship case. Yesterday everfing he sent notice to Wm. C.

Whatever decision he arrives at, therefore, will resultin litigation. Mayor Noonan received from Recorder of Voters Williams a notification that Thomas had never been given « certificate of eleetion by thé Recorder. Accompanying this notice was a copy of the Supreme Court decision on the cage declaring the election of Thomas void.

STAGE spec- tacle has more g charm in it than painted scenery, tin spears and shields, giass-bead armor and bogus mirth. Neces- sary to it are extras —- women who fill ab- breviated costumes, and occupy positions . In marching columns and in the background of pictures. These „extras“ are recruited in the city in which performances are , given. They are not regular members of the traveling the- atrical company in which they appear. They are paid little or nothing, are treated with little or no consideration by the regular members of the company, and are to the management simply properties. An advertisement printed in the city papers calling for 100 girls for a spectacle to be given in Music Hall shortly attracted sixty-five fe- males between the ages of 8 and 40 years to the Exposition Building yesterday. Some were pretty ; some were not. Ot course it’s a chestnut, but Capt. Stevens of the Exposition police will make affidavit that his watch stopped as one girl went by. Some wore bedraggied calico dresses almost hid under $4.50 Newmarket cloaks. Others swept about the dusty naves in silk and seal- skin. The dainty damsel with rounded 90 pound figure, the l4-stone past-professional and the middle-weighted syiph were appii- cants for engagement. f There were Jennies, Maries, Matties, Rosies, Mables, Mauds, Kitties, Susles, Nellies, Irenes in profusion, one Ione, a Juliette, two Madges, one Constance, three Mollies and four Mamies. A young man con- nected with the com- pany stood in the east door of the Olive street front watching for the answers to the adver- tisements. As they approached he sent them down into the north nave, where there was little heat and an abundance of staie smell. As the group grew larger the approach of new re- crults down the nave grew siower. The giris who wore unused to the business seemed afraid of thelr sisters.

At 10:30 o’clock the young man deserted the door and went back in tne nave. His practiced eye detected the girls who had been there be- fore. So self-confident were they and so scornfully they looked upon the bashful, awkward candidates fortights. He also sepa- rated from the lambs the dashing young woman who had had experience as a captain of Amazons, and because of an attachment on costumes and scenery was in St. Louls with- out engagement.

They answered the young man's ques- tions as to name and residence readily, allowed him to look at their hands, and get their hands into view as soon us the oung man turned to them. The hand is the ballet: master’s guide. If it is plump and short he does not need to see the young lady in stage costume. If itis long and slender, he has his doubts about her physical qualifica- tions. Ifitis boney her services will not be needed.

COUNTY CARE OF THE INSANE. Report of the New York Commission in Lunacy. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 29.—The first annual re- port of the State Commission in Lunacy was made publio to-day. A considerable amount of space is devoted to a comparison of State care and county care of the insane, and the report takes strong ground in favor of the former. A large number of shocking Incl- dents observed in the county institutions are related. An aged woman afflicted with turbu- lent dementia was found confined ina cell-like room. Her bed was indescribably filthy and the floor was wot and soiled with her execre- ment, the odor of which was terribly offen- Sive. Her “ry 4 attendants were two pau- per girls who brought her food ina basin which they set on her filthy bed. She had no companions except five filthy male patients in the same building. The bedsofthe latter patients were also saturated with human filth. In another part of the building 3 young woman was found attired in nothing but a blue cotton skirt and a man's coat. Her room was cold and cheerless and its floor was wet and foul. In another place the attend- ants excused themselves for bathing several patients in the same water by saying that the patients with skin diseases were bathed last. In another two filthy patients were put in the same bed. The commission. concludes that, feasible may de the theory county care, it has fallen far short, in practice, of the hopes entertained for it. Its difficulties and defects seem to be in- eradicable and the system should be abolished by the Legislature. Thesystem which has been a failure for twenty yearscan hardly be expected ever to become a success. State cure, onthe other hand, while not perfect, represents all that is best in the present state of medical knowledge. The absence of unl- form and reliable statistics, covering many years, makes it impossible to determine whether the proportion of insane to the popu- lation is increasing, but while it is certain that there is a steady numerical increase, the frequent admission, discharge and readimis- sion of patients to asylums aids in making the existing statistics unreliable. The commission assigns various valid reasons for doubting whether that increase is so far dispropor- tionate to the increase of population as is ken- erally suppoeeu.

SHORT ON THE MARKET, Two Prominent New York Stock Brokers Forced to Suspend, Ry Telegraph to the POST-VISPATCH. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—The members of the Consolidated Exchange were somewhat sur- prised yesterday at the news that Joseph Lawrence had suspended. Mr. Lawrence has earned the title of ‘‘piunger on the Consoll- dated Exchange, and the news that he was in financial] trouble caused a good deal of ex- citement. Lawrence was short about 900 shares of Louisviile & Nashville stock, which took a sudden and expected spurt yesterday, jumping from 87%, the open- ing price, to %. While this upward movement was going on Mr. Lawrence was standing in front of a black board and was apparently laboring under a great deal of excitement. As the quotations indicated 90, those who were standing near him were very much surprised to hear him say, My God, boys, I’m gone.“ After this dramatic ex- clamation Mr. Lawrence seemed to recover himeelfand endeavored to buy stock to cover his shortage. It was to late, however. He has until tris morning at ll o'clock to make good his contracts, and it is said by his friends that he will be able to square up and goon again. Another broker who went to the wall in the same exchange, was S. H.

LESLIU CARTER, The Divorced Ex-Leader of Chicago Society to Go Upon the Stage. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATOH. New Tonk, Jan. 29.—Mrs. Leslie Carter of Chicago will go upon the stage. This action was definitely decided upon yesterday when Manager F. D. Price of the Richard Mansfield Co. signed a contract to assume charge of the . 8 ~ theatrical fortunes of the fair ex-loader of Chicago society. When Prince Karl’’ comes to an end at Palmer’s Theater the business re- lations of Mr. Price and Mr. Mansfield ter- minate and the former will then devoto his time and energies to arrangements cal- culated to materially aid the his- trionic success of his new star. Mrs. Leslie Carter will make her debut as un actress early next fall in this city and in some Broadway theater. The play has not been definitely decided upon, but it will be modern and of the society order. Manager Price promises to surround his new star with the strongest possible company, and the stage will beunderthe direct supervision of one of the ablest stage managers in the country. For some months past Mrs. Carter has been living in this city very quietly and devoting all her time to study. She has ro- ceived private instruction in dramatic art from Mr. Belasco of the Lyceum School of Acting, and the latter expresses great faith in her ability and much pleasure in Ber progress.

Then the bill was taken upon a third read- ing. Mr. Cantorsaid the addition of those twenty-two names was the first effort to énject politics in the World’s Fair and put it in the hands of the amicus curiae of the Republican party. The amendment was an attempt to drag the Fair into polities or to throw it to Chicago. Mr. McCarren read a statement by Mr. Depew tothe effect that the addition of new names would seriously imperil the bill. Mr. Cantor moved that the Senate act on the Assembly bill. Unless that course were taken, he said, the site of the World’s Fair would not be the city of New York, or Washington. Chicago and the whole country might as well know it. This mation was lost by a party vote. After further debate the bill as amenaed was passed by a vote of 25 to 3. BARGAIN-HUNTERS.

By Telegraph to the PoOsT-DISPATCH. AIKEN, 8. C., Jan. 29.—The recent news of the defalcation and suicide of Cashier Geo. H. Lounsberry ot the New York Post-office has set our old citizens to talking over the days when that gentleman lived In Alken. It seems that Lounsderry, Sr., came here in the year 1872 and bought a tract of land on the outskirts of the _ city. He afterward built a a hotel and gave it to his son, the defaulter, George, who had associateu with him as a partner a gentleman from New York by the name of John Ryan. Soon after settling here he was elected to the office of Mayor, principally by the negro element. It seems that Lounsberry soon ran heavily into debt and the hotel failed, leaving the Aiken mercnant minus a good sum of money. Mr. Lounsberry gave up in dispair and left the town. Old Mr. Lounsberry hearing of bisson’s misfortune, came to Aiken and settled a good many of his pressing bills. There is nothing said here that would impeach Lounsberry’s character, except that he wasabard drinker and It was this that caused the failure of the hotel.

LBosToN, Mass., Jan. 29.—A morning paper says: All the manufacturers of cordago and binding twine in the country have, within the past few days, formed an association, whichis calculated to do away with former differences between individual companies and create more harmony of Interests as well as improve the general condition of the in- dustry. About thirty-five establishments are engaged in making cordage and binding twine, and ‘the formation of the association is to avoid competition inthe buying of fibres, which heretofore has forced excessive prices, to the injury not only of the manufacturing Interests, but also at the expense of the con- sumers of rope andtwine. This combination isentirely different from the old. The die- tribution of fibres will be carried on upon a more equitable basis, and the tendency of over-production will be minimized, a result that will probably cause some mills to run on short time.

AN ARMY OF MEN CLEARING THE RAU ROAD TRACKS. Ne Change for the Better—Snow Six Feet Higher Than the Engine Cabs—Trains Buried Completely Gut of Sight—Severe Storms in Eastern Nevada and Utah— Theatrical Troupes Caught. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.—Senator Stan- ford, President of the Central Pacific Rall- road, has received a report from San Fran- cisco, giving an account of the snow blockade in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is said that there has been no change for the better, and that west-bound trains cannot be started. On both sides of the mountains the snow is from three to six feet higher than the engine cabs and snow plows and plungers are of no use as they cannotthrow the snow out of the cuts. The steps have been taken off the cars to prevent them from being torn off by the ice. In Eastern Nevada and Utah heavy storms have prevailed and many engines have been blown off the track. Three fire- men and two engineers are said to have been killed in this way. A number of trains which started out from Ogden have been derailed by the ice and are helpless. The snow sheds are covered with such immense masses of snow that it is feared they will be crushed in. In some places the telegraph wires are buried from 10 to 12 feet. About a mille north of Upper Soda Springs a snow-sliide came down the mountain and dammed the river completely. Trees two and three feet thick were broken off like pipe- stems. At Ashland another severe storm has set in and all passengers have been sent back to Portland. The storm on the Central Pacific has be the worst ever known. It has been snowj/sg at Ogden since December 20, and some are buried completely out of sight pony has 2,500 extra men at wo visions have to be carried In some cuts the forty and fifty feet deep. Central Pacific expects to bring all ite trains in to-day, as they think they have succeeded in raising the blockade. Thirteen days’ Eastern mail is on the trains at Reno, causing great disadvan- tage to trade. From Portiand, Ore., word comes that the Northern Paeific road is open and has been Open all winter. 4 terrible rainstorm has prevailed during the past thirty-eight hours and 5 is feared that disastrous landslides will result. Snow Bound Actors and Actresses. NEW YORK,Jan. 29. — The main subject of in- terest among theatrical people is the great snow biockade on the Central Pacific which has keptthree companies snow-bound in the Sierra Nevadas and Glosed several theaters on uccount of the failure of these companies to meet their dates. The loss to managers is es- timated to amount to thousands of dollars, while to the players, who are losing their salaries while locked up in the snow ofthe mountains, the money damage, though smaller in amount, is iikeiy to prove even more serious, because they are not 60 well able to stand it as the managers. In addition to this the actors nd actresses are reported to be actually suffering from Want ot proper food and the cold, and the effect of their experience is likely to remain with some of them tothe end of their lives. The Howard Specialty Co. has been the longest sufferer from the blockade, having already been snowvdound in one car at Shady Run, Cal., for fourteen days. During this time the company hus lived principally upon what is known as packed food, salt meat and fish prepared for winter consumption at the smaller towns along the railroad. To men and women like Miss Irwin and George Thatcher, to whom champagne suppers and wine dinners have become almost a necvssary of life, food of this kind is not likely to digest well. Then, too, the fuel has given out, and the occupants of the snow- bound cur are obliged to suffer cold as well as hunger. Rich & Harris of Boston, the pro- prietors of the company, have been doling all in their power to get the people back to civil- ization and warm dinners. They sent arep- resentative to Sacramento over the Southern Pacific, and he has made arrangements with tho railroad to get the company back to Sac- ramento, as there is no probability of its pro- ressing toward the East for the present. From Sacramento tho company will goover the -‘Bouthern Pacific to Kansas City, which it is hoped to reach to-night. Under this pro- gramme Rich & Harris expect to open at the Olympic Theater, St. Louis, next Sunday, if the people are sufficiently recruited by that time. A dispatch to Mr. Harris, who is now in this city, says that the company is com- letely exhausted and suffering from want of nourishment. The ‘‘Shonandoah’’ company is still snowed inabout nine miles from Wadsworth, Nev. Al Hayman telegraphed to Charles Frohman yesterday that possibly the company may be dug out“ in time to reach San Francisco Friday. The track for twenty-seven miles Is covered with snow and ice, which is very di- cult to remove. The Baldwin Theater has been closed all the week and will continue so until Monday, when ‘‘Shenandoah’’ will be produced if the company is fortunate enough to get there. Roland Reed and his company are also lost in the snow somewhere on the Central Pacific, but nobody seems to know where. The Cali- fornia Theater in San Francisco, where they were to bave opened last Monday, is closed and will remain so until some definite news is received of Reed and his people. The opening of the new Markham Opera- house in Portland, Ore., has been postponed for a week because the Emma Juch Co. bas been unable to get to Portland. The Pear! of Pekin’’ company has escaped the perils of the snow, butit is blockaded be- tween Fresno and Los Angeles by a washout. Taken altogether, the players’ pilgrimage to the Pacific coastthis season can hardly be regarded as an overwhelming success. and all pro- snow shoes. A Brighter Outlook, By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 29.—It now seems probable that the great blockade on the Sierras will soon be over. The big rotary plow has been dug from the snow in Cascade Canon, and has done splendid work since. The track is now clear as far as the plow can clear it. The snow it has been passing through was nearly as hard as ice and averaged twenty feet. the only obstruction now is abouta foot of hard trampled snow and ice which covers the rails for a considerable distance. This must be removed by picks and shovels. The officials think the blockaded trains will reach here to-day. The trains have two weeks’ mall. The high water has gone down all over the State and washouts aud land- slides are generally repaired. has been done to roads and blockade on the California & Oregon Railroad still continues and there its little prospect of hreaking it fora week yet. There is no com- munication north except by steamer. The revenue cutter Kush took a large amount of mali to Portiand last evening, the regular line of steamers refusing the reguiar compensa- tion offered by the Government.

The act winds up with Quixote’s well-known arrest and removal in the cage. In the second act the features are a waltz song by Dorothea, a serenade by Don Quixote and the chorus a trio with the catching lines, ‘*A married man may be full of guile, But a warried woman may’nt,’’ anda bolero by Lucinda which was sung and danced beautifully. The last act is given largely to Sancho’s troubles with the Govern- orship ofthe Island which he has so long hoped for. The company last night all did splendid work. Mr. Barnabee as the Don, and Mr. Frothingham as hia faithful squire were all that could be asked. Jessie Bartlett Davis as Dorothea was warmly applauded, and Ju- liette Cordon as Lucinda danced and sang to the delight of the audience. W. H. McDonald, Eugene Cowles, Edwin Hoff, Josephine Bart- lettand all the others in the cust were very satisfactory. „Suzette, which made a hit on Monday evening, will be given to-night, and Don Quixote’’ will be repeated on Thursday even- ing next. If all the good things said of it last night get much repetition it will crowd the Olympic at its next performance. . All the other theaters had good houses last evening. Primrose & West's Minstrels, at Pope's, were inthe lead in tals respect, the house being crowded, as it bas been since the opening on Sunday. Jim the Penman,’’ at the Grand, The Paymaster,’’ at the Peo- pie’s, and The Blue and Gray, at the Standard, were well patronized. The sale of seats for next week’s attractions begin to-morrow. They are as follows: Grand, Ullie Akerstrom; Olympic, Howard Athenwum Specialty Co.; Pope’s, Hoyt’s A Rag Baby; People's, Chas. Erin Verner; Standard, ‘‘After Seven Years.’’ The Becthoven Soiree. Memorial Hall was packed to the doors by an intelligent audience last evening for the first soi:nee of the Beethoven Conservatory. An entertaining programme, which displayed the proficiency ofthe puplis to « marked de- gree, wasrendered; Of the instrumentalists who gave most creditable performances were Misses Lillian Pike, Bertha Sechler, Millie A. Harding and Lydia Guether in a quartette for piano, Mies Bessie Schuetz in a plano solo, Master Louis Levy in a violin solv, Miss Grace Johason in a piano solo, with quln- tette accompaniment, and particularly Miss Clara Ossman in a piano solo with accompani- ment, Miss Ruth Collins In a violin solo, and Miss Nellie Allen a skilfal rendering of llum- mel’s Concerto B Minor on the piano. Mme,Clark’s vocal pupils showed In marked degree the care and skill of their teacher. Miss Mamie Charles sang Tanbert’s bird song in clear, sweet voice, and with ease and skill of execution: Miss Josie Singer sang Giosa’s **Stamburelli, Bolero’’ effectively, and Miss Urilla McDearmon proved her possession of an excellent pure contralto in Wecherlein’s My Heart Is Sad.“ The terzetto ‘‘Madre Sommo Amore, by Campana, sung by Misses Charles, McDeurmon and Mr. Jesse Cozzens was one of the gems of the programme, ali eo was received with gencrous appreci- ation. The Symphony Concerts. Much interest is being taken in Joseph Ot- ten’s first Symphony concert, which takes place at Entertainmont Hall to-morrow even- ing, with Mrs. Corinne Moore Lawson of Cin- cinnati as soloist. There has been a very encouraging advance sale of seats, nearly all of which is forthe season of three concerts. This is a very clear indication of the progress of musical culture in St. Louis. Ten years ago it would have been avery risky under- taking, indeed, phony concerts like these Mr. Otten is to give. The programme is such that it guarantees a rare treat in vocal and orchestral music. The concert deserves the success which it will un- doubtedly have to-morrow evening. THE MAKSHALSHIV MUDDLE. Mayor Noonan Will Hear Legal Arguments on the Question. Mayor Noonan has decided to constitute himselfa court for the construction of the city election laws bearing on tho marshalship case. Yesterday cverfing he sent notice to Wm. C. Marshall, attorney for Martin Neleer; the Lee brothers, attorneys for Recorder Williams, and Messrs. Rassleur, and Fleteher, attorneys for Emil Thomas, that he would recéive and consider briefs from them on the law governing this action and would also give them fifteen winutes each for oral argument, commencing at noon next Saturday. At the conciusion of the argu- ments he will decide whether he will call a special election. Neiser’s attorney, Wm. C. arshall, has announced his intention of fighting to hold the incumbent in office, no matter whether the special election is held or not, andshould the Mayor decide not to call a special election the attorneys for Tbomas willcommence maudamus proceed- ings to compel him to. Whatever decision he arrives at, therefore, will resultin litigation. Mayor Noonan received from Recorder of Voters Williams a notification that Thomas had never been given « certificate of cleetion by the Kecorder. Accompanying this notice was a copy of the Supreme Court decision on the case declaring the election of Thomas void. Mayor Noonan turned the papers all over to City Counsellor Bell for an examina- tion and between them tney will try to arrive at sowe conclusion. — — — AN OLD AN’S DARLING, Sue and Her Stepson Charged With Poison- ing Her Husband.

Neces- sary to it are extras — women who fill ab- breviated costumes, and occupy positions in marching columns and in the background of pictures. These „extras“ are recruited in the city in which | performances are 5 given. They are not regular members of the traveling the- atrical company in which they appear. They are paid little or nothing., are treated with little or no consideration by the regular members of the company, and are to the management simply properties. An advertisement printed in the city papers calling for 100 girls for aspectacie to be given in Music Hall shortly attracted sixty-five fe- males between the ages of 8 and 40 years to the Exposition Building yesterday. Some were pretty ; some were not. Of course it’s a chestnut, but Capt. Stevens of the Exposition police will make affidavit that his watch stopped as one girl went by. Some wore bedraggied calico dresses almost hid under $4.50 Newmarkec cloaks. Others swept about the dusty naves in silk and seal- skin. The dainty damsel with rounded 90. pound figure, the l4-stone past-professional and the middile-weighted syiph were appli- cants for engagement. There were Jennies, Maries, Matties, Rosies, Mables, Mauds, Kitties, Susles, Nellies, Irenes in profusion, one Ione, a Juliette, two Madges, one Constance, three Mollies and four Mamies. A young man con- nected with the com- pany stood in the east door of the Olive strect front watching for the answers to the adver- tisements. As they approached he sent them down into the north nave, where there was little heut and an abundance of staie smell. As the group grew larger the approach of new re- cruits down the nave grew siower. The giris who were unused to the business seemed afraid of their sisters.

At 10:30 o’clock the young man deserted the door and went back in the nave. His practiced oye detected the girls who had been there be- fore. So self-confident were they and so scornfully they looked upon the bashful, awkward candidates for tights. He also sepa- rated from the lambs the dashing young woman who had had experience as a captain of Amazons, and because of an attachment on costumes and scenery was in St. Louis with- out engagement.

There was the poor girl out of em- | ployment anxious and : |incapable, also the iron-faced woman who flung out questions as to the details of dress, and when tights were suggested faced about and walked away, breathing such fierce italic phrases as stand for wholesome curses in the language of women. ‘*‘Tights! he hor- rid thing! D¥es he take me for a ballet- girl. Tights!’’ There was very littie of the last variety.

They answered the young Inan’s ques- tions as to name and residence readily, allowed him to leok at their hands, and when they had been there before managed to get their hands into view as soon as the young man turned tothem. The hand is the allet-master’s guide. If it is plump and short he does not need to see the young lady in stage costume. It itis long and slender, he has his doubts about her physical qualifica- tions. It it is boney her services will not be needed. At last when the names had all beon taken and a very few bad been weeded out irom the listas unsuit-* able, thd balance were told that they would be expected to be at the Exposition Build- ing at 10 o'clock to- morrow morning when the ballet-master would be thereto meet them.

Report of the New York Commission in Lunacy. ALBANY, N. I., Jan. 29.—The first annual re- port of the State Commission in Lunacy was made publicto-day. A considerable amount of space is devoted to a comparison of Stat care and county care of the insane, and the report takes strong ground in favor of the former. A large number of shocking dents observed in the county institutions are related. An aged woman afflicted with turbu- lent dementia was found confined ina cell-like room. Herbed was indescribably flithy and the floor was wot and soiled with her execre- ment, the odor of which was terribly offen- Sive. Her only attendants were two pau- per girls who —— her food in a basin which they set on her filthy ved. She bad no companions except fiye filthy male patients in the same building. The beds ot the latter patients were also saturated with human filth. In another part of the building 3 young woman was found attired in nothing but a blue cotton skirt and a man's coat. Her room was cold and cheerless and its floor was wet and foul. In another placethe attend- ants excused themselves for bathing’ several patients in the same water by saying that the patients with skin diseases were bathed last. In another two filthy patients were put in the same bed. The commission concludes that, however feasible may be the theory of county care, it has fallen far short, in practice, of the hopes entertained for it. Its difficulties and defects seem to be in- eradicable and the system should be abolished by the Legislature. Thesystem which has been a failure for twenty yearscan hardly be expected ever to become a euccess. state cure, onthe other hand, while not perfect, represents all that is best in the present state of medical knowledge. The absence of unl- form and reliable statistics, covering many years, makes it impossible to determine whether the proportion of insane to the popu- lation is increasing, but whiic it is certain that there isa steady numerical increase, the frequent admission, discharge and readmis- sion of patients to asylums aids in making the existing statistics unreliable. The commission assigns various valld reasons for doubting whether that increase is so far dispropor- tionate to the increase of population as is ken- erally supposed.

New York, Jan. 29.—The members of the Consolidated Exchange were somewhat sur- prised yesterday at the news that Joseph Lawrence had suspended. Mr. Lawrence has earned the title of ‘‘piunger on the Consoll- dated Exchange, and the news that he was in financial trouble caused a good deal of ex- cltement. Lawrence was short about 900 shares of Louisviile & Nashville stock, which took a sudden and expected spurt yesterday, jumping from 987%, the open- ing price, to le. While this upward movement was going on Mr. Lawrence was standing in front of a black board and was apparently laboring under a great deal of excitement. As the quotations indicated 90, those who were standing near him were very much surprised to hear him say, My God, boys, I’m gone.“ After this dramatic ex- clamation Mr. Lawrence seemed to recover himeelfand endeavored to buy stock to cover his shortage. It was to late, however. He bas until this morning at ll o’clock to make good his contracts, and it is said by his friends that he will be able to square up and go on again. Another broker who went to the wall in the same exchange, was S. H. Osborne, who was also short on the market, and for whose accounts sufficient stock was bought in under the rule to cover his contracts. PaRIs has made the test And proved Guerin’s photos best. MKS.

I., Jan 29.—In the Senate to-day Mr. Erwin, from the special World’s Fair Committee, reported Mr. Stewart’s fair bill amended by adding twenty-two new exhibi- bition commissioners, of whom eighteen are Republicans and four Domocrats. Then the bill was taken upon a third read- ing. Mr. Cantorsaid the addition of those twenty-two names was the first effort to ¢@nject politics in the World’s Fair and put it in the hands of the amicus curiae of the Republican party. The amendment wasan attempt todrag the Fair into politics or to throw it to Chicago. Mr. McCarren read a statement by Mr. Depew to the effect that the addition of new names would seriously imperil the bill. Mr. Cantor moved that the Senate act on the Assembly bill. Unless that course were taken, he said, the site of the World’s Fair would not be the city of New York, or Washington. Chicago and the whole country might as well know it. This motion was lost by a party vote. After further debate the bill as amended was passed by a vote of 25 to 3.

AN INCIDENT IN HIS CAREER, Defaulter Lounsberry’s Speculation and Residence at Aiken, S. C. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. AITKEN, S. C., Jan. 29.—The recent news of the defalcation and suicide of Cashier Geo, I. Lounsberry ot the New York Post-office has set our old citizens to talking over the days when that gentleman lived in Alken. It seems that Lounsperry, Sr., came here in the year 1872 and bought a tract of land on the outskirts of the _ city. He afterward built a a hotel and gave it son, the defaulter, George, associateu with him as a a gentleman from New York bythe name of John Ryan. Soon after settling here he was elected to the office of Mayor, principally by the negro element. It seems that Lounsberr soon ran heavily into debt and the hote failed, leaving the Aiken mercnant minus a good sum of money. Mr. Lounsberry gave up in dispair and left the town. Old Mr. Lounsberry hearing of his son's misfortune, came to Aiken and settled a good many of his pressing bills. There is nothing said here that would impeach Lounsberry’s character, except that he was a hard drinker and it was this that caused the failure of the hotel. — GUERIN’S award at Paris was the highest for portrait photography. 10 AVOID COMPETITION, A Combination of Cordage and Binding Twine Manufacturers Formed, By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPpatcn. LosTON, Mass., Jan. 29.—A morning paper says: All the manufacturers of cordage and binding twine in the country have, within the past few days, formed an association, whichis calculated to do away with former differences between individual companies and create more harmony of Interests as well as improve the general condition of the in- dustry. About thirty-five establishments are engaged in making cordage and binding twine, and the formation of the association is to avoid competition inthe buying of fibres, which beretofore has forced excessive prices, to the injury not only of the manufacturing interests, but also at the expense of the con- sumers of rope andtwine. This combination is entirely different from the old. The dis- tribution of fibres will be carried on upon a more equitable basis, and the tendency of over-production will be minimized, a result that will probably cause some mills to run on short time.

Ward to restrain him from playing with the Brotherhood shows how woefully weak is the legal point by which the Nationa! League hoped to recover their deserting play- ers. The case selected for a test was the strongest the National League had. Ward had not the ordinary contract with League Club, but had signed a special con- ‘pact with the club in which they were given Sven a temporary club the rr. „reserve him forthe coming year. This contract wus drawu up by Ward's wn attorney in orderto protect the player n the matter of the salary he was to receive above the classification limit mentioned in the regular contract. Ward was also sizned by the New York Club, an incorporated body, and not as many plavers were by Nick Young, President of the National League, which organization bas no legal ex- istence and anno therefore enter any con‘ tract. Yet despite the fact that Ward had in n contract of his own making giving the New York Club a claim on his services for next season, the court refused to grant the club injunction against him. injunction 16 usually slight provocation. as such action usually makes it possible to have thecase argued for a permanent injunction. It merely means that there is robable grounds for action. The court, y its decision, holds that there is not even grounds for action. And yet Ward’s case contained allthe strong points against the Player that anyother did, and moro, too, on account of his own personal with the New York Club.

Woman’s Humane Society Takes Charge of Mrs. Uundle’s Children. Yesterday afternoon Mr. N. T. Williams, special oflicer for the Women’s Humane Society of Missouri, went to the’ home of Mrs. Rundle at 3858 Stewart avenue, and took away her four little children, ranging in agefrom 2 to 11 years. All are giris. The three vider ones were placed by Mra. T. G. Comstock in the Girls’ Industrial Home, while the baby was returned” to” its mother, it being deemed too young for such a separation. This action was taken on account of the ex- treme destitution of the Rundle family, which latter condition was brought about by the death of the husband and father. On October 25, it will be remembered that James Boyle, a boarder with Edward Rundle at the latter’s home on Stewart avenue, stabbed his host with a large butcher knife, The two quarrelled over Mrs. Run- die, to whom Boyle was alleged to have paid considerable attention.

An Interesting Incident in the Life of the Late Orator of the South—A Story of Col- lege Days Told by Mr. William C. Mar- shall of This City—The Oratorical Hon- ors Captured by a Competitor. HE fame which the late Henry W. Grady attained as an orator gives interest to inci- Gents of his life. A PO8T- DISPATCH re- porter had the pleas- ure yesterday of list- ening to an anecdote about Mr.Grady which will undoubtedly have more interest for the public than any yet related about the la- mented Southern ed- itor. It was told by Mr. Wm. C. Marshall, the attorney, while stopping for afew mo- ments in Jury Commissioner Carlisie’s office. Mr. Marshall had the distinguished honor of defeating Mr. Grady for final orator in the University of Virginia. It was the history of this contest which hp gave. It is is due to Mr. Marshall to say that he was not speaking for publication, that no criticism may be passed upon his modesty. Permission to use the incident was reluctantly givon later. The reporter anda friend were discussing Presi- dent Cleveland’s remarks upon the rapidity with which great men cometo the front, and the reporter cited flenry W. Grady as an lilus- tration of that fact. It was just at this point in the conversation that Mr. Marshall came in. „There is a man who can tell all about Grady,’’ said Commissioner Carlisle. He went to school with him, didn't you, Mr. Mar- shall?’’ MARSHALL’S STORY. „es, Iattended the University of Virginia when he was there and was vory intimate with him. He and I engaged inthe contest for Final Orator. There are three principal honors in the university. They are: The Final Orator, Medalist and President of the Washington Society. The students select each some one to compete for, and bend their energics dur- ing the whole year to winning it. During my last year I decided to strive for the honor of Medalist. Grady had set his heart on achiev- ing the distinction of Finul Orator. A blind fellow named Milburn who afterwards studied for the ministry was Grady’s only opponent. Besides the Washington Society there wero a number of secret organizations in the college, and the beginning of the year my socioty, Grady’s society and the society of the fellow who was running for President of the Washington- lan Society decided to combine their efforts to secure the honors tor their respective rep- resentatives. The honors in the University are rated by the students. Toshow you how it was done, take for instance the honor to which I was aspiring—that of medalist. The medalist had to be the best debater in the University. Every week we had debates, and any fellow striving forthe honor of medalist had to accept the challenge of any other com- petitor for the same honor, to debate on any subject. The only condition was that the chailenge had to be given a week beforehand in order to give the challenged some time tn study up on the subject. At the conclusion of the debate the society voted on the merits of the speeches made. If any competitor was defeated several tines why that about settled bis chances. One nignt I was challenged to debate on the ques- tion: ‘*Has the CatnolicChurch Been of More Benefit Than Injury to the World’’’ When the debate was about to commence Grady came over to me and said; — Marshall. my society wants the privilege of voting for your opponent to-night. He is from Georgia and we want to give hima send 0 We will vote for you, though, all tho gane on the final test. That made me hot and I told Grady that his society could eo to hades it they didn’t want to stand by thelr agreement. He tried to argue with me that all he wished was to give the Georgian a send off, but I would not con- sent. When the debate was over Grady’s society did vote for the Georgian, but he voted for me and I won the debate. Shortly after thata great boom started for Grady’s opponent for final orator, the blind student Milburn. He was an impressive speaker, and the fact that he was bling just set the students wild about ulm. It began to look as if he would surely win the honor. The contestants for final orator were never challenged. They just strove to write and deliver the prettiest speech on any subject they chuse, but Miiburn, ren- dered confident by his success, determined upon a bold move, and ane for which there was no procedent in custom. HE CHALLENGED GRADY tocompete with him in an oration on the same subject. The challenge created much excitement in the college. Representatives of my society came to mo and asked me what weought to do about our agreement to sup- portGrady. They said Grady’s society had broken theirs to stand by me and they thought t hat in view of that fact they ought to act in- dependently in the coming contest. I told them that because Grady’s society had broken it’s pledge was not a good reason why they should break theirs and I told them they must vote forGrady, When the contest came on the three combined secret societics were anxious to make a test of their influence and 80 resolved to exert their full strength in favor of Grady. They did so and Grady won easily. From that time forward Milburn was out ot the race. That left Grady withoutacompetitor. The students didnot like that, and shortly afterwards someof my society came to mo and asked me to come out ugalnst Grady. I refused, but their importu- nities became more pressing. One day I was in my room lying on the bed when alot of them came in and 1 on the subject of me coming out against Grady. ‘‘lheave given you my answer, Isaid, 1 am out for medalist, and I do not want any- thing else. . ; „Woll if you won't, Fou won't,“ said one and then they apparently dropped the subject and beganto talk about incidents out in town. One ofthem mentioned that he had been in a saloon where Grady and his crowd were discussing the final orator matter Grady had been talking about hla defeat of Milburn and said he knew he would beat him. He said he knew when he came there that he would have no difficulty in taking the honor of final orator. **What do you think about Marshall coming out against you, said one.’’ Marshall. he replied,‘‘wellI just wish that follow would come out. I would just like to take the conceit out of him.“ My friend who was relating tnis alleged conversation, put all the contempt possib e into the tones in which he gave Grady’s re- mark. It stung me tothe quick. lsprang up from the bed on which I had been apparently dozing and exclaimed: Did Grady say that?!“ es, he did,’’ snid the one who had been giving the information to the others. en lam out for final orator, I said. Assoonas I made this announcement my friends left the room hurriedly to spread the news. Ihad promised a student named Smith that in case I came outfor tinal orator I would let him know at once, so that he would be the first to announce himself as my successor in the contest for medalist. To keep my promise lat once went to notify him of my deeision. When I re-enterdd the col- lege grounds it was dark and I had the big collar ofmy overcoat up. The news that I had announced myself had been i ue AMONG THE STUDENTS in and as 1 us entering the college I meta strapping student, a great friend of mine, who grabbed melby the coat and said: „Marshall js out for final orator. vote for him.“ ** ‘No,’ I said. „He dashad me up ageinst the wall and rushed on.

POST-OFFICE OFFICIALS EXCITED. Bargains the merchants will adver- tise in to-morrow’s (Thursday) A New York Merchant Imports Goods Through the Mails. NRW YORK, Jan. 29.—4A queer violation of the postal laws was brought to light yester- day. The discovery awkwardly embarrassed Postmaster Van Cott ana spread the wildest sort of consternation among the employes of the post-office and the custom-house. The cause of the commotion was that the name of Postmaster-General Wanamaker was found woven in a lot of silk ribbon which bad been sent through the mall from Saxony to a man name 4. uge, in this city. This somewhat startling discovery was made at the post-office where the packages containing the ribbons were Opened. It is against the law to import goods by mall. Printed matter can come in that Way, and there is no objedtion, asa rule, to people in Europe sending small articles, snch as handkerchiefs or pieces of lace, for pres- ents, but the business of importing by mall is strictly against thelaw. Kluge had attracted the notice of the post-office authorities be- cause he received so many packages in this way, and they had notified him ona previous occasion that he must stop having goods sent him by mail. He did not comply, however, and yesterday when twenty-five packages, all addressed to him, were receiyed from one of the foreign steamers the post-office authori- ties determined to open them. As already stated they were found to contuin large quan- titles of silk ribbon with the words John Wanamaker, costumes, Philadelpbia,’’ woven along the length of each piece. The matter Was at once reported to the Postmaster and the heads of departments and created the greatest excitement. An effort was made to keep the matter quiet, ciais did not want to admit that John Wan- amaker was connected, directly or indirectly, withany violation of the law. Mr. Kluge, whose office is only a short distance up town, wassentfor. Heecameinhot haste and was apparentiy almost as much alarmed as were the Government officials. He was takon to the Custom-house, where he made an explanation which, however, does not settle the matter alto- gether. Hesaidhe was the American agent ofthe German Artistic Weaving Co., whose factory isin Saxony, and he declared that Mr. Wanamaker did not know anything about the matter. His statement on this point was thatthe Germans had heard of Mr. Wana- ofa big retail concern in Philadelphia, and that they thought it would be a good schemo to use his name In this way, as it would ad- 28 them and make their goods sought after. The ribbons in questlon, he said, are of the kind used for making loops to ladies“ dresses forthe purpose closéts, and the wanufacturers hoped to cre- ate a demand for them by having them stamped with the name ot so high an official and so well known a merchant as the Lost- maater-General of the United States. This explanation dii net satisfactorily show how this German Artistic Weaving Co. could gain any advantage or advertise itself by using the name ofa man who owns a large retail establishment in Philadelphia, or that Mr. Wanamaker's „fetal position as Post- master-General woulds assist the company when its name did notappear onany part of the ribbon. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsraTci. PHILADETPH1A, a., Jan. 29.—R.C. Ogden, Mr. Wanamaker’s partner, said last night that he could not say without looking through the firm’s books whether or not it had any dealing with the German Artistic Weaving Co., but whether it had or not, the using of the name, ‘‘John Wanamaker, Costumes, Philadelphia. wovey in ribbons, was en- tirely without the tirm’s sanction and un- lawful.

The Peculiar Plan of Campaign gop‘ by Chicago Comes to Grief—A Trade in Which the Geode Cannot Be Delivered The Chances of St. Louls Better Than Ever. RIENDS of St. Louie are very well satisfied with the bill reported by the World’s Fair Special Committee of the Houso of Repre- sentatives, and the ad- vyocates of the selec- tion of Chicago are ee correspondingly de- pressed. The victory for st. Louis. although a quiet one, is none the less probably the mos important that nas been gained since the question was brought up before the lower house of Congress. From letters * 5 trom Washington it was learned that the whole aim of Chicago was to get a report from the committee recommending thé imme- diate selection of a site, and leaving the minut le to be determined upon later. A CHICAGO DEFRAT. By so doing it was hoped that the question of site could be pressed toa conclusion ata time when Chicago was strongest and its op- ponents weakest. The pecaliar manner in which Chicago has been conducting ite cam- paign is gradually leaking out. When the missionary party, headed by Mayor Oregier’s son, went throughthe South last autumn, it was belleved that it had accomplished little, but it is now sald that a great deal was done, although not in a manner that the Chicago Committee desire to have published. Before starting out a list of Republican Congressinen was obtained who were wiiling to support some of the Democratic contestants for seats in the House of Representative. The Chicago party scattered broadcast circulars descrip- tive of the advantages of that city, and ad- dresses were delivered wherever they went, but it now appears that this was nothing but a blind, the real work being done very quletly. Conferences were held with the leading local politicians and members of Congress, und contestants, and it was soon ascertained that the location of the World's Fair was to them a matter of much less importance than the decision in regard to the contested seats, AN AGREEMENT WAS ACCORDINGLY entered into by which Chicago was to receive votes for the World's Fair in return for votes in favor of certain contested election cases. The manner in which this was managed was remarkably advantageous to Chicago. Inthe first place the basis of exchange was three votes for Chicago to one fora contesting Dem- ocrat, and the same votes were traded over and over again. By this iIneans a very considerable number of votes were pledged to Chicago, some being taken from the natural support of Washing- ton, but still more from the St. Louis con- tingent. Further than this, the support of the Democratic contestants was based upon the success of Chicago, which had the effect Inaking every contestants and his friends enthusiastic Chicago boomers. The reason for the unexpected strength of Chicago in the South and South- west is to be found in this condition of affairs. It willalso serve as an explanat.on of the anxiety that Chicago has manifested from the first to have the World’s Fair location settied before the election cases came up. It was most important to the success of the scheme that no close connection should be made manifest batween the two votes, and for this reason the defeat of the Chicago plan for having the site settled before the holiday recess was probably the most disastrous which that city has yet met with. THE ESF LAID PLANS. Under present conditions it is most unlikely thatthe trading of votes can be successfully carried out. Had the special committee re- ported in favor of a decision of the site ques- tion, or had it named ea date for oe the Fair, it would have been possible to have forced a vote before the election cases and to have gained much it not aliof the Southern strength calculatec upon. But in its present form the bill relegates both of these ques- tions to Congress without recommendation. Thisis believed to be nearly fatal to the hopes of 'ofChicago. Should the votes upon which a trade was based be cast in favor of the Re- publican contestants Chicago’s Southern sup- port would be changed to active and bitter opposition. Should they be cast otherwise notice has been served on the Chicago delega- tion that the votes and influence of scores of the Western Republicans wil! be transferred from Chicago to one ef its rivals. Tho city by the sewer is therefore placed between the up- per and the ‘nether millstone, and in the opinion of the friends of St. Louis has ceased to be dungerous since the refusal of the special committee to make the recommenda- tions urged by Chicago. The fight is now be- lieved to be between St. Louis and New York, and is likely to resolve itself into a contest be- tween the seaboard and the interior. It is not thought to be likely that a decision will be arrived at for some time.
