mm «4 t bias ” y ST. LOUIS, Sauna Brann JANUARY 17, 1891. FOR FREER TRADE. ineenasbealiapeaaveiiioal Blaine’s New Proposal Not Favored by the Canadian Cabinet. THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT ‘NOT READY FOR COMPLETE RECIPROCITY. — President Da Fonseca’s Ambition to Be- come Dictator of Brazil—OCold Weather in Europe—Not Presented to the Czar— The Spanish Premier’s Programme— The Irish Troubles—Foreign News, OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 17.—After. the re- peated and unsuccessful efforts which have been made by the Canadian Government to secure reciprocal trade relations with the United States,Sir John MacDonald has refused tomake any further adyanceinthat direc- tion, or, as he says, to go down on his hands and kneestothe authorities at Washington begging for reciprocity. In the meantime the Liberal leaders in Partament bdve continued tourge proposals for extending commercial relations between Canada andthe Republic, which the Conservatives have ‘all along con- tended the United States would reject. The proposal Which now comes from Washington for closer trade relations with Canada has, therefore, placed the Government in an awkward position in the eyes of the country. It is learned from official sources that the Pominion Government have deferred the calling together of Parliament until sucha time as they may be able to lay some definite proposition before the House and explain to the country, if possible, why they haye not moved iti the direction of reciprocity before. The members of the Cabinet, however, as re- cent events have shown, are nota unit on this question. Indeed, several members will have tochange their views materially or re- sign their seats before the Dominion Govern- ment can recommend to Parliament the adoption of a policy having for its object the extension of commercial intercourse with the United States. THE OPPOSITION. Minister of Agriculture Curling says Canada is well enough offas she is. Minister of Cus- toms Bowell and Minister of Marine Tupper stongly advocate a measure of reciprocity on natural products only. On the other hand, Mr. Colby believes that the Canadian farmers would be ruined by any. legislation that would remove the restrictions upon agricult- ural produce entering Canada from the United States. Secretary of State Chapleau advocates an unrestricted commercial inter- course. Sir John MacDonald said yesterday that Canada had for years given to the United States proof of her desire to enter into a reciprocal arrangement by keeping on the statute booka clause by which animals all kinds, hay, straw, vegeta- certain cereals, salt, fish, lumber and many other articles may be imported into Canada from the United States free of duty, or at a lower rate of duty than is at the time being in force, when the United States have intimated their intention of admitting these products into the United States upon the same terms. A member of the Cabinet speaking of the rumor that the British Government had been urging the Government of Canada to settle the mat- ters in dispute between Canada and the ; United States upon a basis of commercial rec- iprocity, said to-day that Great Britain had not unduly urged the Dominion Government to such action, but he admitted that the British Government desired that Canada should secure, if possible, without sacrificing her own. interests, freer commercial relations with the United States as the necessity of the country might demand. THE NEW PROPOSAL. In regard to the proposal which the Do- minion Government state that they have re- ceived from Washington, it issaid to-night thatit is in the direction of complete reci- procity and isin no way inaccord with the views of Sir John MacDonald, who is not dis- posed to go beyond the limit of natural pro- ducts. In transmitting the proposal received from Washington to England for the informa- tion of Lord Salisbury the Dominion Govern- ment have reported against any reciprocal measure that will open the Canadian market to American manufacturers in competition with Canadian production. A member of the Cabinet stated yesterday that the British Government wags being ap- proached with a view to the consolidation of the British North American Colonies into a federation for commercial purposes, without conflicting with ‘‘the most favored nation’’ clause and of existing treaties, The proposal embraces the suggestion that Great Britain shall give to Canada the hegemony of her British North American Colonies, exclusive of Newfoundland, thus centralizing the general management and direction of public affairs in Ottawa,in place of the colonial office at London having to deal directly with each colony. President Da Fonseca’s Ambition. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—There is trouble brew- ing in Brazilandthe new government is in serious danger. It is now charged that Pres- ident Da Fonseca is trying to establisha mil- itary dictatorship odious tothe people. The action of some of the Governors of various States has been such as to arouse much public indignation, and in some cases to precipitate riots. The Governors are charged with act- ing in conformity with the desires of Da Fon- seca. Themain difficulty has been in the dealings of the Government with the press. When the Provisional Government was in existence arbitrary and unfair laws were passed to govern the press. After the last election the new government repealed these laws, but the President, it is said, encouraged secretly the enforcement of the old laws. In -one of the Northern’ States J. Lucio de a Mello, the editor of a paper opposed to the government, was warned by Gov. Charmant to cease publishing articles about a dificuity between,the police and the army. Mr. Mello refused and a few days later a soldier picked &@ quarrel with him and the result was that he was arrested. After his arrest he was exiled to Pernambuco and went on an English steamer as a passenger, the captain refusing to take himasa prisoner. On the way the steamer touched at Rio, Maranhoa and Ceara, where Mr. Mello was visited by press repre- sentatives who raised such a row in their papers that Mr. Mello found he was no longer a prisoner when he reached his destination. Riots have occurred in many places but the press still maintains its position in spite of threats and violence. Downfall of New Tipperary. BUBLIN, Jan. 17.~The news from New Tip- perm y isfar from, encouraging.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 17.—The Imperial) Commission on petitions has returned to London the memorial in behalf of the Rus- sian Jews addressed to the Ozar by the large London Guild Hall. The returned memorial is accompanied by a communication to the Mayor of London stating that the commission is not authorized to present such memorials to the Ozar. THE CZAREWITCH SNUBBED. The refusal of the Viceroy of Kiang Soo to accord a ceremonial to the Ozarewitch has . produced a painful impression in the highest Russian circles. Russia has lately been mak- ing extraordinary efforts to bring China thin the commercial and political reach of the Russian Empire, and the attitude of the Viceroy is believed to be inspired by antag- onistic foreign influences at Shanghai, and is especially mortifying as exhibiting to the world how little the Chinese care for the Russians, The Scottish Railway Strike. GLASGOW, Jan. 17,—The Caledonian Rallway Co. yesterday reinstated alarge number of men who had been on strike. In all other re- spects the situation remains unchanged. Mr. Thomas Buchanan, M.

Priricipal Rainey advo- cated the adoption of a ten-hour labor day. The Earl of Aberdeen, Principal Rainey and the Lord Provost were appointed a Committee of Mediation. The Spanish Premier’s Programme. LONDON, Jan. 17.—Senor Caigos, the Spanish Premier, is making liberal promises to win votes for the Government in the approaching general elections. He states in substance that he proposes to follow in the path of social] reform outlined by the German Kaiser, whose course he admires, by introducing legislation for the amelioration of the condl- tion of the workingmen and for regulating the relations between capital and labor; and at the same time to protect the honor and in- terests of Spain at home and abroad.

The village of Pontarlies and the farms about it are completely isolated, all communication being cut off by the heavy snows. Several deaths by freezingare re- ported from the department office. A Striker Imprisoned. BERLIN, Jan. 17.—A cabinet-maker who re- éently acted as a delegate froma number of fellow workmen to warn their employers that they would go out on strike unless. thelr wages were increased,was promptly arrested at the instance of one of the employers he called upon. Eventually the man was tried on a charge of trying to extort money by threats, and to-day he was sentenced to im- prisonment for six months. Foreign News in Brief. Active search is being conducted in New York and other American cities for the actual murderer of Patrick Flahive of Ballyhoone, Kerry, for complicity in which crime Bar- tholomew Sullivan is now under sentence of death.

A Man With Delirium Tremens Who Did Not Receive Prompt Attention. Comment on the death of Herman Meyers in a cell at the Fourth District Police Station last night would be entirely unnecessary. A publication of the repor&sent this morning to Police Headquarters is self-criticism. The report is as follows: ‘I herewith report that about 9 o’clock last night Herman Meyers, single, and 25 years old, living with his parents at No. 4127 North Second street, came into the sub-station of the Fourth District suffering with delirium tremens, and said parties were following him to killhim, He was locked up and his done. Mr. Meyers said he a@ poor man, driving a baggage wagon for aliving,and was unable to pay for his son’s care in a private asylum. He said he would be obliged to send him to the City Hospital for treatment. Mr. Meyers also stated that his son attacked him yesterday evening and attempted to choke him, and that he was unable to control him. The young man was a cabinetmaker by trade and worked for Prange Bros. on Eleventh street, between Anglerodt and Destrehan streets. He kept walking around the cell all night and talked ‘with the turnkey, Panst, until about 4:45 this morning. He then laid down on the bench in his cell. About fifteen minutes later the turnkey went to his céll again and found him dtad. Mr. Fred Meyer, residing at above number, was immediately notified and will take the body to his residence, where the in-. quest can be held. The witnesses for the Coroner are Turnkey Paust, Officers Durdy, Sullivan, Niehaus and Headley of the Fourth District and Fred. Meyers, 4127 North Second street.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 17.—The school- book bill introduced by Mr.Medley of Audrain County will revolutionize State affairs. in Missouri if it becomes a law. The text books for public schools are to be selected by a | board composed of the State Superintendent of Schoolsand Presidents of the State Nor- mal Schools. The board is authorized to buy copyrights of school books and the State Board of Education is authoriged to contract with book publishers for all books adopted by the Board of Selection for the public schools of the State. The Boafd of Selection is authorized to compile andadopt a new series of works throughout, if it deems it advisable, and the Attorney-Gen- eral sitall draw up a contract between the State and the contractor, making specifi- cations as to workmanship and materials, which shall be equal to the trade supply of the Appleton or the McGuffy series of 1890,and shall draw up a bond of $50,000 for the faithful performance of the contract, the bond to be signed by at least ten freeholders of the State and approved by the Governor. The bill also provides for the distribution of the books to the school districts through the connty clerks | and the publication of the prices in one news- paper in each county. THE GRAIN INSPECTORSHIP. Attorney-General Wood is preparing an opinion at the request of Railroad Commis- sioners Breathitt and Hickman to settle the question as to whether or not Grain Inspector O’Shea can be removed before the expiration of the term for which he -was appointed by Commissioners Downing and Hennessy. Commissioner Hickman is on the war path for O’Shea’s official scalp and will take itif the Attorney-General decides that the Inspector can be dismissed be- fore next November, when the term expires. Attorney-General Wood said this afternoon that he was looking into the matter and would in all probability have the opinion ready by next Monday. The pression pre- valls that the decision will s in the action of Downing and Hennessy and leave O’Shea in possession of the office to fill out the unex- pired term of ex-Inspector Burks. A po- tential factor in the'‘war on Inspector O’Shea is U. 8. Hall, the Presidentof the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union. He holds that the office properly belongs to a farmer and ‘*Farmer’’ Hickman takes the same view of the matter. Inspector O’Shea is here to-day and states that he has #0 fear as to the outcome of the battle thatis being waged against him. ‘*You can state that I will be Inspector until Nov. 1, 1891, unless I die or voluntarily resign, and I don’t expect to do either.’’ .. NOT SED WITH.THE COMMITTEES. There are comparatively. few members. of the Legislature here to-day, most of them having left for their respective homes after the adjournment yesterday. Untila week or two before the expiration of the seventy daysthe Assembly is required tobe in ses- sion, both branches will adjourn over on Friday until Monday afternoon to enable those who wish to go. home to do so. With one or two exceptions the St. Louis members made for the first train that left after the adjournment and some of them were by no means ina pleasant frame ofmind. The committee places given them were not entirely satisfactory, but they were not the only disappointed members. Others were not pleased and they took no pains to conceal their feeling on the subject. There was a strong belief that Representative Ed Turner, of Clinton County, one of the oldest members of the House, would get the chairmanship ofthe Committee on Ap- propriations, but this plum went to Lyman of Kansas City, a ‘‘bran new’’ member, as one of the county representatives putit. Though Turner was Tuttle’s principal opponent for the speakership up to @ day before the caucus when all the contestants withdrew in favor of the Pettis County candidate, he recelved less than what everybody was disposed to concede him. He got the chairmanship of the Com- mitte on Congressional and Senatorial Dis- tricts, but this is not what he wanted. Farris of Ray and Fogle of Schuyler, who were also'in the race for Speaker until they saw that Tuttle was a sure Winner, came out well in the assignments. Farris got the chairmanship of the Judiciary, and Fogel of the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. The surprise of all was the appointment of Representative Ewbank of Saline as Chairman of the Committee on Banks and Corporations. He is the youngest member of the House, having just reached. hig 2th year, and is classed withthe farmers. It was expected that the Chairmanship of this com- mittee would go to Church of St. Louis, and this impression prevailed up to the time the commit@es were announced. The personnel of the Committee on Rail- roads and Internal Imiprovements might, in the opinion of many, be better, but Speaker Tuttle says he took every man in the list into consideration before he placed him on this very important committee. It will have the railroad bills and other measures affecting corporations to pass upon. Speaker Tuttle left for Sedalia immediately after the adjournment and had nothingto say concerning the committees further than that the list stood for itself: Nearly everybody is surprised that St. Louis should be entirely ig- nored in the composition of the Committee on Appropriations, which ranks very close to the top of the list in point of importance. THE WORK OF THE SESSION. After Monday next both houses will get. down to businessin earnest, as all the com- mittees are now organized and ready for the consideration of bills. Upto date 190 have been introduced in the House and less than fifty in the Senate, If bills continue to come in the House at the present rate some of the committees will find but little time tp devote to anything else but thelr consideration. father notified and asked what he wanted |The general sentiment among the farmer members for cheaper school text books has alone caused the introduction of fully a dozen bills on that subject, and there have been several presented in the Senate.

A MILLION IN ASHES. Result of Last Night’s Fire in Dobson’s ) Carpet Mills. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17,—Th¥ de struction of the main building of the carpet mills of John & James Dobson of the Falls of SchuylkiD ,last night, resulted ina loss of between $500,000 and $1,000,000 and the throwingout of work of nearly 6,000 hands.. Included in the loss is the finest lot of machinery proenrable in this or other countries; it ts fegred that it will be impossible to du temost of it. It is thought ‘that spdmtareous combustion started the fire. Watchman Mason first discovered a@ trifling fire in the dry goods houge es om Z > > ; ‘ Gen. Miles Declare the Indian Revolt, gt an End. a Result of the Council Held Yesterday With From Our Statt Correspondent. ‘Pine Rides, 8. D., Jan. 17, via Rushville, Neb.—Gen. Miles considers the Indian trouble at an end, and says now that a few days for cooling wn is all that is required. The Seventh try is on the Cheyenne River, Col, Summer’s command on the lower Chey- jenne, and Rodney’s Light Battery from Fort Riley have been ordered home, and some of the troops from this post will be sent home within the next forty-eight hours. The forces will be gradually reduced, until all are gone, except the first infantry, and a detach- ment of cavalry, which will remain here tn- der Gen. Carr. The general’s management of his forces in this campaign has brought him showers of compliments and his reten- tion at Pine Ridge will establish con fidence, merly under Gen. Carr, comprising nine troops of about 500, will hereafter be located in the Department of the Platte, with headquarters at Fort Niobrara. The cavalry force at Fort Robinson will also be increased and it ig expected that the new order of affairs will tend to the rehabitation of Fort McKinney at which there are now only two troops of the Ninth Cavalry under Col. Henry. This strengthening of the cavalry along the reservation is intended as a safeguard to the people who have been long in danger of the Indian outbreaks. The question is now being disctissed of allowing members of the First Infantry, under Col. Shafter, who feel sO disposed, to remain in this department. THE CORRAL CONFERENCE. A corral was built half.way between the ‘hostile camp and the agency yesterday after. _ i noon, and within it, Gen. Miles hada con- ference withthe chiefs. Besides the Gen. there were Col. Corbin, Col. Taylor (Chief of the scouts), Capt. Manns and’ Dr. Mc- Gillicuddy, the former agent. Nearly gall the chiefs were present except Crow Dog, who said he would abide by whatever was done. American Horse was the spokesman of the friendlies and Short Bul of the hos- tiles. The council was a ratification meeting. It is the first time Gen. Miles has conferred with allofthem together. Dr. McGillicuddy told them plainly that when he left his home in the Black Hilistocome here, he thought they were crazy, and sinee he arrived and saw how they acted he knew it, ‘The old chief grunted assent. They oe to lay down their arms,to send theirc back to school, and arrest Bruies who attempted to cause trouble. «+ Miles told them that the murderers of. Lieut, have. seyeral victims. The council broke up _ op in the peaceful manner, - The Indians have turned in only 126 guns, a ridiculously small number. The promise to arrest bélligerent Brules is a promise the Ogallalas cannot keep. inter- ferente. on their part will precipitate afight. Gen. Schofield has suggested enlist- }|.ing the young men in the army, not as scoumm, | but as regular soldiers. He thinks this. | enable the old people to live in peace, would satisfy the craving of the young men to bear arms. It would furnish, too, a number of hard fighting,soldiers. The plan is ssi: here as an excellent one. : WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. Unless an accident occurs, this trouble is at anend, The sityation, however, is strikingly like that which preceded the Wounded Knee massacre. The Indians were all in ageney except Big Foot’s band, and it had /surrendered. The Indians had accepted the terms dictated and the troops were about to be ordered home, Correspondents were talking of leaving. One shot, a handful of dirt thrown into the air, anda bloody battle began. Without be- ing sensational itis a fact that one shot a signal would precipitate a bloodier ba here, but the hope is that fo such . misfortune will occur, There are a number of hostiles, who have not come in, and they are roving in small through the country north of here and still committing depredations.

Just ' after this, the search through their camp having | , proved almost fruitless, I gave orders to search the | persons of the bucks, again telling them that they wpust do as white men always do when sur- rendering—that is, give up their arms. At’ the first move tocarry out the order last referred to _ the bucks made a break, which atonce resulted in terrific fireanda hotfight lasting twenty minutes, followed by skirmish firing of about one hour. At ’ the first instant the squaws started for the hills, and | * itis my belief that compartively few of them weré : ed. Some bucks succeeded in getting away, and three troops were sent in pursuit. They over- took and captured five bucks (alkbadly wounded), nineteen squaws and children and killed six bucks. Soon after the force was attacked by about 125 ' Ducks, supposed to be from the agency.

The task of ‘ ¢tring for the killed and wounded and improvising as comfortable transportation as possible for them - and making the other necessary arrangements occu- pied allthe time and ail the men of the command. Fortunately a supply train came into camp just after the fight, which was emptied and utilized for this purpose. As I saw a night march ahead of mean errly start was of utmost importance. For this rea- s0n no time was taken to accurately count the killed and wounded Indians in and hear the camp. An- other reason for this omission was the fact that one buck.held aé_ée sheltered ravine which commanded a great portion of the field and all of our efforts to dislodge or kill him failed, although fully halfan hour was spent in the effort. He was wounded and I thought it better to leave him than to make ad- ditional sacrifices in order to take him. We brought with us to the agency six bucks badly wounded and twenty-seven squaws and childrep wounded. Forty-eight guns were secured, many of which were issued to citizens, teamsters and reporters during the fight, and some were retaken by the bucks, as their first rush wasin that direction. About 150 ponies were captured and turned over to the Indian scouts to be driven to the agency. Our loss was 1 officer, 6 pbon-commissioned officers and 18 privates killed, and 2 officers, 11 non-commissioned omirere and 22 privates wound ed.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 17.—Word comes from Buffalo, Wyo., an inland city, that sig- nal flashes can be seen every night from the peaks of the Big Horn range, thirty miles from Buffalo. As it lies in what the reds call @ lucky battlefield the citizens are much dis- .turbed. An equipped militia company and one company of infantry at Fort Kenny, three miles away, is the only defense. THE “POST-DISPATCH” WAS IN IT. Little Wound’s Odd Device, Carried as He Came From the Hostile Camp. As the hostile Indians were drawing near Pine Ridge Agency last Thursday they were carefully watched by the troops, who were . On their guard against anything like treach- ery. As the strong band of Little Wound approached there was a great deal of excitement among the soldiers, as at the head of the mounted warriors a tall chief was seen, mounted on a shaggy but spirited horse and bearing in his hand the staff of a banner.

SEARCHING THE CITY FOR ABSENTEES TO MAKE A nga * Weary. Hours Passed in Tedious Waits for _ Senators Who Never Came—A Legis- | lative Day Which Will Not Appear on the Record—Faulkner’s Talk Against -Time—Incidents of the Sessiqn. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.—The Senate was in continuous session last night. The hours dragged wearily along, the question | under consideration being the election Dill. The Republicans did most of the talking, though the Democrats occupied a share of the time. At 12 o’clock Senator Faulkner secured the floor and continued speaking till 1:20, when the absence of a quorum was brought to the attention ofthe Chair by Mr. Sanders. Thecall of the roll showed that there were only thirty-six Senators present, only five of that number Democrats. A motion was made by Mr. Hoar to compel the attendance of absentees, but Mr. Harris made the point of order that the first motion under the rules was to direct the Sergeant- at-Arms to Feqyest the attendance of absent Senators. The presiding officer (Mr. Washburn) sus- tained the point of order, and Mr. Hoar changed his motion accordingly. The mo- tion was agreed to, and a list of the absentees was furnished to the Sergeant-at-Arms, who dispatched messengers to carry out the or- ders of the Senate. The Democrats present were Messrs. Cockrell, Faulkner, Gorman, Harris and Pasco. Before the list had beén handed to the Ser- geant-at-arms five more Senators, all Re- ’ publicans, had answered, making the whole. number present forty-one, or four less than a quorum. Up to2o’eclock no Senator had presented himself in compliance with the request, and it looked as ifa quorum might not.be secured. The first of the abgentees to obey the man- date of the Senate was Mr. Call, who came in at 2:40. He was followed soon after by Mr. Daniel, who attributed his absence to the fact that he was paired. Then Mr. Jones of Ar- | kansas presented himself, and the’ quorum lacked butone Senator. During the time that the messengers of the Sergeant-at-Arms were calling at the hotels and residences of the absentees all business was suspended. At 2:15 Mr. Hoar asked the presiding officer (Mr. Washburn) whether any report had been made by the Sergeant-at- Arms and was informed that one Senator had been seen and had said that he was too lll to be present and another had said that he was too fatigued. A motion was then made by Mr, Edmunds and was agreed to, directing the Sergeant-at- Arms to use all necessary means to compel the attendance of all absent Senators except those who weré ill. The quorum was completed by the appears ance of Mr. Dawes at 2:50 a.m.,and Mr. Gorman moved to dispose with further pro- ceedings under the call. The motion was re- jected. There was thena new roll-call and forty-three Senators replied to their names; still two less thana quorum, Morrill having gone home, and the same difficulty that had been met with before was pr@sented. Mr. Evarts came inat 8:15 and reduced the de- ficiency to one. In the course of another waiting period Itgvas stated that Mr. Sher- man and Mr. Wilson of Maryland were too ill to be present. * The hours between 3:30a.m.and 5:30 were spent in idly waiting for a quorum, which did notcome. At the latter hour the Sergeant- atArms reported in writing the success or failure of his visits to the residences of Senators. One of those reports stated that Senators Berry and Butler had been seen inthe cloak room and that the former had stated that he would come when he got ready and the latter had refused to obey the summons. An informal colloguy made it appear that there was no power given to the Sergeant-at-Arms to en- ferce obedience and Mr. Dolph remarked that if the Senate had given an order which it no powerto enforce, the sooner the Sena got out of that ridiculous dilemma the better. Several Democratic. Senators had in the meantime presented themselves, including Messrs Ooke, Gray and Reagan. Mr. Vance appeared at one of the cloak room doors and his name was calied, but he stepped back into the room saying that he did not desire recog- nition. He was, however, recorded as present. ° The appearance of Mr. George at 5:45 com- pleted the quorum on. the roll-call, and Mr. Falkner made another start on his speech against the bill, although there were not twenty Senators within hearing of his voice. At 6 o’clock Mr, Gorman made another ef- fort to close the day’s session, and spoke of the futile efforts ever since midnight to get a uorum present, He moved to dispense with rther proceedings under the calls. so as not to disturb Senato to give to Senators present and the officers of the Senate a chance to go home and get their breakfast, so as to get back at 10 o’clock. Mr. Edmunds demanded the yeas and nays on Mr. Gorman’s motion, and the result was: Yeas, 6; nays, 28. As the vote showed that no quorunmi voted, the Senate found itself again inthe same endless round on which it had been revolving forthe last six hours. The roll had to be called and this time only thirty- four Senators answered to their names, show- ing that there had been more departing than arriving Senators. During another period of waiting for absen- tees who would not come an inquiry was made by Mr. Mitchéll whether Mr. Faulkner?” had finished ‘his speech, and, if so, whether there was any desire to continue the ,debate - on the bill further. Mr. Faulkner expressed his t that, through the inability of his publican friends to be present, on account of iliness, he had not been able to continue his speech consecutively. At 7:30 when there were five Democrats on the floor and only one Republican (Mr. Oasey) Mr. Daniel arose and with a wave of his hand, a word ‘‘to the Senator on ‘the other side,’’ moved an adjournment. The move did not succeed, however, for Mr. Casey rushed for and obtained allies from the cloak room, and Mr. Platt, who was in the chair, declared the motion lost. After that there was another dead lull until 9:30, when a quorum having appeared, Mr, Faulkner pro- ceeded with his remarks. The cold bleak, driszling morning. which greeted the Senate after its weary night ses- sion was not conducive to eloquence, and Mr. Faulkner, who had boldly and patiently held his post since 11 o’cloek, rested himself some- what by liberal quotations from the law books. The lowering skies shut out the light of the sun, andthe hall was still necessarily flumined by its gas and electric lights. The chamber was in a state of great disorder, The floor was littered with scraps of pou: old bills and rejected a, a Senators sat ‘In rs attitudes of weariness or retina to the cloak rooms to take a little needed rest upon the lounges’. The clerks performed their duties in a mechanical manner and the stenographers pushed their pens over the per inacorrect but perfunctory manner. ut, notwithstanding his long vigil, od Faulkner was in voice, and when not quoting from his books spoke with earnest- ness. At 10:05 Mr, Harris rose to a parliamentary inguiry. He desired to know whether the journal would show that there was a vee Bara ive day of Jan. 17, and if so, when that leg- islative de .

NEW YORK STOCKS. The Market Weak and Dealings Very Light. NEW Yor«, Jan. 17.—The stock market this morning was quiet to dull except in the first few minutes, and while there was a firmi tone shown, the Villardsand New England were inclined to weakness. The opening was firm, but no strength was displayed by the general list untillate inthe hour when small frac- tional advances were scored among the ac- tive stocks, and the weak shares of the early dealings recovered their loss. At 11 o’clock the market. was quiet, but firm, generally at small fract lens above opening prices. Money is easy at 8 per cent. Bar silver, 105%.

Most pro- minent among these were the new sugar stocks, Union Pacific, Chicago Gas and the Villards, but the remainder of the list were content with fractional gains.

ANNOYED A YOUNG LADY. \ Why Boswell Jones Was Fined inthe Po- lice Court. ‘*This man has the address and appearance of a gentleman but his conduct has not been in accord with his appearance. It has be- come intolerable. I will fine him $100 on the present charge and order the execution of two weeks ago to issue.’’ The speaker was Judge Charles F. Cady in the First District Police Court. The object of his judicial wrath was Thomas Boswell Jones. The charge against him was oné of disturbing the peace. Mr."James W. Farris and Miss Cora Cameron ea as prosecuting witnesses in the ac- tion. MOVES IN GOOD SOCIETY. Boswell Jones is a clerk in the offices of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, at 214 Pine street, and moves in good society. For several years he paid considerable attention to Miss Cora Cameron, an attractive young lady living at 1484 Papin street. A year ago he is said'to have tnsulted the young woman one evening while under the influence of HMquor and was forbidden to call. Since that time he has worried Miss Cameron bya system of petit persecution. He wrofe her compromising letters and called at the house while intox!- cated, insisting upon seeing her and using the most vile and profane language when or- dered from the place. Once on the outside he would write messages on the fence and front door with a piece of chalk, it was alleged. Two weeks ago the young lady secured his arrest. It seems thatin order to get rid of Jones, she had consented to see him and walked with him from the house of a friend. Jones’ actions arotised her suspicions and she escaped him by a subterfuge. Once inside her room at. the _ residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. Farris, at 1434 Papin street, she thought she was safe. Jones, however, éntéred the house through a rear door and forced his way to her apart- ment. He was in the act of kicking in her door when caught by two gentlemen and kicked down the front steps. In addition to this he was arrested and sent into the First District Police Oourt on the charge of dis- turbing the peace. Judge Cady fined him $10 and costs. After court adjourned Jones proved a good character, and execution of the sentence was stayed on promise of good behavior. ATTACKED MISS CAMERON. Last Sunday evening Miss Oameron and Mrs. Farris were returning to their home on Papin street from a visit with a friend. When within a block ofthe house they met Jones, who insisted upon speaking privately with the young lady. When ~ re- fused, he seized Miss Qameron by the arm, At that moment Mr. Farris, who had heard his wife’s screams and divined their import, came rushing from his room. Thetwo men hada lively tilt in the street. Jones then left. The following day information charging him with disturbing the peace was filed at the Four Courts. To- day a héa was had. The defendant was fined $100 and costs, and the-extcution of $10 Obtained two weeks ago was ordred issued. An appeal to the Court of Criminal Correc- tion was taken. THE DEFENDANT’S SIDE.

HENRY 0, POLLMAN, ee The. Testimony Taken by Mr. Mohan’s Committee in Regard to Sprinkling Contracts Made Publico-Some Remark- ably Rich Reading for St. Louis Tax- payers—The Secrets of the Combine. Some time ago Mr. Mohan of the House of Delegates made a motion in the House to in- vestigate the sprinkling affairs ofthe city. Mr. Mohan’s object was not very definite and so far no report has been made, A mass of testimony was taken and a lot of sprinklers questioned by the committee. The testimony was of arather startling mpture, but some how or other it . hasbeen kept quiet. Yesterfay the ° stenog- rapher wag paid and delivered the re- port of testimony taken. [It is long and tedious in parts; but in others shows a rather queer state of affairs. The following are extracts taken from the testimony of Mr. Henry C. Pollman, a mem- ber of the committee; which on next Tuesday will make a grab for the sprinkling contracts: PAY WITHOUT WORK. **You have done some work for the city this season undera sixty-day contract, have you * | not??? **Yes sir.’’ ‘*Will you tell us what that work was?’ ‘‘Well, we simply made a. contract with the Mayor for a certain number of wagons for sixty days at $5 a day.’’ ‘‘Whether you worked or not?’’ ‘*Well, mitie wasn’t all worked, no sir.’’ ‘*You -collected the bill for sixty days whether you worked or not?’’ **Yes sir ‘*‘How many days did they work there?’’ ‘‘Well, I could’pt say, unless I conrulted my books,’’ **How rhuch of the $3,400 paid out for work done in the district let by the West End Sprinkling Co. did you receive?’’ **T received $3,00.’’ **Is it charged up tothe West End Sprink- ling Co?’’ ‘*Yes; Sir. “I wil state in explanation that after I worked a number of days, I won’t state how long, Mr. Brown came personally and notified me that they had no need for me or my wagons any more, andto keep them subject to his orders, that I might be called upon at any time, which I did at that rate.’’ ‘‘Well, how many days did you actually work during the sixty-day contract?’’ ‘‘I presume just from memory, I guess about three weeks thatis there were rainy days between thenie.’’ ‘*The balance of the five weeks you didn’t go out at all, did you?’’ **No, sir, if this 1s correct; that is, I won’t be positive as to that.’’ ‘*About that time?’’ ‘*Yes sir, about that time.’’ ‘‘You got paid, though, while you were doing nothing at all for the five weeks?’’ Yes sir,;that was according to my contract. I was ready to doth> work. Ihad the men sitting around the stable, not knowing what minute I might be called upon.’’ Mr. Pollman, do yéu belong to this associa- tion of sprinklers?’’ . ‘*I do, sir.’’ **You do?’’ i “Jou we: PURPOSE OF STE ORGANIZATION. ‘‘What is the purpose of the organization?’’ **Well, I couldn’t give you any defi- nition of that. I don’t really Know what the purpose of the 7 doh re would be to give you a Gefinition, because I neyer received any direct benefit from it that I know of, simply good feeling, etc.’’ ‘‘Who is your president or chairman?’’ ‘*‘Mr. Bonner.’’ ‘*Who is your Secretary?’’ ‘*T am, sir.’’ The testimony then centinues for a while fn aseries of questions ty the committee and evasions by the witness until the question of the substitute contracts Is reached. It will be remembered that when the Joseph contracts were cancelled carts were hired at $aday. Mr. Pollman tells how it was done as follows: HOW THE COMBINE WORKED, ‘‘Who received the total amount of the money?’’ ‘‘Mr. Bonnerg Mr. Mueller and myself.’’ ‘*Do you know how that money was dis- posed of?’’ ‘*Yes, sir. we paid out the other men ac- cording to the wagons that he furnished to the city. That was simply done to facilitate matters by Mr. Brown, asI understood, that is, by giving it fo us they wouldn’t have to make out so many pay rolis.’’ **Did you have District No. $?’’* ‘*‘No, sir. Thatis downin South 8t. Louis somewhere.’’ ‘*‘Did Mr. Kwenne receive any money from you out of that contract for sixty days?’’ ‘*He didn’t from the committee, no, sir,’’ ‘*Not from the committee?’’ ‘*Not according to my remembrance.’’ ‘+He was not then one of the number that was contracted for by the vor??? ‘*‘No, sir, he made his contract with the Sprinkling Inspector, thatisas he told me, that is all I know, but the money the com- mittee received was for the contract made by and between. Mr. Burnet, Mayor Noonan, Leverett Bell, Mr. Brown, Mr, Bonner, Mr. Mueller, myself and Mr. Schureman,’’ , ‘Well, you called yourself, Mueller and Mr. Bonner the committee?’’ **Yes, sir.’’ ‘*Did ‘that committee represent this sprink- ling organization.’’ ‘*No, sir, that committee was, as has been stated, to receive the money ahd disburse it. s° ‘*Well, did you give toany Other sprinkler except yourselves any Of the contracts ford sixty days’ work?’’ ** All those that had wagons out got paid that way.’ ‘*What I mean is this. Did this corimitteg of three, yourself, Mr. Bonner and Mr.Mueller, did you give up to any other sprinklers?’’ ‘*With the exceptionof Ives?’’ ‘*Did you hire any wagons begide what you owned yourselves?’’ ‘‘Oertainly, certainly, we didn’t have that number of wagons. ’’ **You hired other wagons on the pay you got for your city contract?"’ ‘*We.paid them all,and Mr. Brown asked us to, and to facilitate matters Mr.Brown said that he would,as we seemingly represent- ed the balance of the contractors, make the vouchers payable to us. . : Mr. Bonner and several others admitted that they were members of the combine, but ene & wos otganinns eee) 2S better and more improved methods of ‘sprinkling discussions as to prices were ever had, and the combine only met to adjast territory so that men could get paca shakigg) ama ened . venient to their headquarters. whole investigation shows a most decidedly bad condition of affairs. , PURE 18-KT.

Engineer Dave O’Brien, whoruns a passen- ger locomotive on the Cairo Short Line, be- tween East St. Louis and Duquoin, arrived here last night on his regular trip. This morning he related toa crowd of interested listeners in the railroad yards a remarkable story of his experience on the Southern trip, Thursday morning. Summed up, the ex- perience was no more nor less than the finding under peculiar circumstances of an abandoned baby +which he thinks was providentially thrown in his way and wi adopt as hisown. Relat- ing the circums s of the find, he told how nearly he had brought death to the little one instead of succor and,the protection of which it .stood sorely in need. He was nearing the end of his run, and his engine had just rounded a long curve a short distance north of Duquoin, when he noticed lying on the track, midway between the rails, an object, which from its color and general appearance he took to be a red signal flag. As the interpretation of such a signal is acommand to stop short, he put on the brakes and brought the locomotive to a standstill a few | feet from the object, which as he neared it he had ascertained to be something alfferent from a danger signal flag. Impelled by curiosity to know what the object was, he clambered down onto the track to investigate. Perhaps his curiosity was appeased when he found an infant boy wrapped snugly in a red shawl, or maybe it was heightened when he began to conjecture when and how the little one had found such a strange resting place. But he did the most sensible thing possible under the circumstances. That is, he took the little bundle of humanity aboard his engine and a few moments later had brought the train to a stop ag the Dugquoin depot. Now it happened that Engineer O’Brien, though a married man, is childless. He has been for almost twenty years matrimonially bound to a most estimable lady, but during all that time no children have come to bless their union. With this in view, one can easily imagine whatachildless engineer’s thoughts were as he considered what might be the best course pursue in regard to the abandoned infant hich, to his mind, was thrown in his way.

HPAVY SALES OF PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OFTHE RIVER. » a Twelve Acres North of Tower Grove Sold There isan exceedingly good feeling in real estate circles, considering the time of year, when, touse a-granger term, the market is between hay and grass. The winter business is practically over, and the spring trade has mot commenced. This state of affairs will continue until the snows have melted away and frost has left the ground. A little later on it will bé post-hole daigging time, and then the agents will ‘commence sticking signs in the ‘ground. While this change of conditions is coming on the inquiry for property is good. Buyers are looking for lows p and owners are de- manding higher prices, anticlpating, as they do, that values will be very much enhanced within the next two months. ' A $24,000 CHESTNUT STREET PURCHASE. A parcel of inside property, fronting 45 feet feet on the north line of Chestnut street, be- tween Eleventh and Twelfth, with two old three-story dwellings upon it, was sold yes- terday at $534 a foot, Joseph Fuchs being the grantor and Martrom D. Lewis the purchaser. This transaction shows & very satisfactory in- crease in the value of Ohestnut street prop- erty, as it has only been about a year since Leo Moser bought the Lucas lot, at the southeast corner of Twelfth and Chestnut streets, at an even $600 a foot. There are no improvements on that ground, but even so it is equally as salable in its vacant state as if encumbered with old build- ings no better than those disposed of by Mr. Fuchs, from the fact that the bysiness prog- ress now being made .all along Chestnut street demands an entirely different and better class of structures than any that are there now. Especially is this true of the blocks between Eleventh and Twelfth, where many of the old dwellings have been changed to meet the demands of business within the past year. All this prop- erty is increasing in value very rapidly, the building of the new City Hall on Twelfth, two blocks south, having a potent infimence in making that old residence quarter desirable for business purposes. SOLD FOR $30,000 NEAR TOWER GROVE. Four blocks of ground on Magnolia avenue, at the rear of Shaw’s Botanical Garden, hav- ing an aggregate frontage of about 3,000 front feet on the street named and Botanical, Al- fred and Maury avenues, Shenandoah street and King’s highway has been purchased by Henry Hiemenz, Jr., as trustee for a local syn- dicate, from John V. Hogan, for $30,000, the transfer apvearing in to-day’s papers. This ground is a part ofthe Payne property which Mr. Hogan boughta few months ago for $65,000, nearly all of which he has now dis- posed of at a good round advance. This plot of four blocks is divided from Tower Grove Park by Magnolia avenue, the location being opposite the southeast corner of Reber place, where the improvements, sewers, granitoid walks, telford drives and other public betterments cost the owners $12 a front foot. The Payne property is 2 12-acre tract of broken ground some of it being 12 feet above grade anda good deal of it quite as much below the street line. A ravine runs through a portion of it, and itis these unsightly nat- ural features which account for the apparent low price paid for the ground. Where the surplus earth is graders. will be put to work . Cutting that portion down to grade and filling > wp low places to the established level. This will be an expensive piece of work but the prospect for profit more than warrants the outlay, even with an addi- tidnal cost of $12 to $15 -a foot for first-class improvements, for that section of the city is now held in high favor as a residence quarter and the character of dwellings that are now being built out that way causes building sites to be sought after all the time at steadily en- hancing values. .Rapid transit is what has developed this section. An electric line, the Union Depot route, runs along Arsenal street, the south side of Tower Grove to Reber place, and it will nof now be many days before the Missouri Railroad Co, commences to operate its electric line from Fourth and Market street to the north central gate to Tower Grove Park on Shaw avenue. Shaw avenue is only five blocks west of Reber place, fronting on King’s highway op- posite Tower Grove Park, and arrangements are now being made with Mr. Mafiitt, with much prospect of success, for the extension ofhis road west over Magnolia avenue to King’s highway. If this is accomplished much value willbe added to the land pur- chased by the Hiemenz syndicate, and Reber place property owners will be greatly bene- fited also, forthey will then have the advan- tage of two excellently equipped electric roads either of which will make the tripto the business center in about thirty minutes. A 54-ACRE ADDITION TO MADISON. The Brown homestead, embracing fifty-four acres of land, adjoining the new town site of Madison the otherside of theriver, where ‘car works are being erected for the employ- ment of 1,200 men, and where the Arcade Manufacturing Co. is constructing a -plant where 900 hands will be engaged making building hardware, has been sold at parti- tion sale for $20,128. The purchase was made by E. 8. Guignon & Bro. for Thomas P. Burke, who practically does nothing more in this transaction than take thetitle tothe land for the Messrs. Guignon, who have bought the property at a little less than $400 an acre, that is, about $2 a front foot. The Madison Car-works are within 8,000 feet of the center of this Brown homestead, and sur- rounding it the owners of the town site of Madison have acquired all the adjoining property, having paid $500 an acre for the greater portion ofit. Since they platted the town site the founders of Madison have been selling lots there at $10 to $20 a foot and it is said that they anticipate realizing much higher figures in the near future. It appears that they overlooked the partition sale of the Brown property, or thinking it would not attract attention from other persons handicaped their represente- tives at the sale with such a low limit they lost the prize. “Among other competitors the Messrs, Guig- non had to bic against at the sale were T. H. Leathe of this city and Mr. Prickett, the Ed- wardsville banker. The successful bidders are going to improve the fifty-four-acre addition to the town of Madison and willcommence grading streets and laying plank walks as soun as the weather will permit. A LINDELL AND BOYLE AVENUE CORNER. L. V. Cartan & Co, perfected a sale to-day of the northwest corner of Lindell and Boyle avenues, 100x223 feet, at $110 per front foot. The land, owned by Pickel Bros., represented by OC. H. Gleason & Co. in the transaction, was sold &® Louis Bernero. This is the first important sale of choice West End residence ground made for the new year, Cartan & Co. having the credit of finding a buyer,for whom they have undoubtedly secured a bargain, as there are not many Lindell avenue corners to be had at any price. THE MARSHALL PLACE SOLD FOR $26,000. The Marshall home place of thirty- three acres adjoining Mentor Station, on the Creve Cosur branch of the Missouri Pacific Rallway, close to Brentwood Station, on the Man- chester road, and about a mile Yrom Tuxedo Park, in St. Louis County, has been sold toa syndicate for $26,000 cash.

B. Wilkins, is dead from a bite of ons of two pet snakes. Late in the fall a tramp who had captured two large copper- | gold them to Dr. Wilkins, who ~“gend them to the Zoological Gar- iia. The snakes were put the.top being secured by ering of wire gauze, and the jar was placed on a brack tor’s Office in the ge. Last evening the doctor and his daughter were returning froma visit to the country, and the doctor had occasion to make up a, prescription. They both entered the office, and the doctor lighting a lamp, a large owl, was attracted by the light and flew in over the transom of the door. It struck against the lamp, scattering the oll and broken glass in every direction, Thé bird seemed frantic, flying and dashing about, when a crash of bottles was heard, Meantime the doctor strucka match and just then his daughter, with a loud cry, sprang into his arms. \“he owl had upset the jar from the bracket and the snakes were at large. He called loudly for help. It seemed hours, but scarcely five minutes elapsed be- fore several ladies and gentlemen rushed in. Miss Wilkins was insensible and was being cared for by the ladies, who.were terrified to find oneof the snakes wound around one of the girl’s legs. All dréw back with horror ex- cept a farmer named Thomas, who seized the snake andchoked it todeath. It had bitten the girl between the ankle and knee. She was taken home immediately and every known antidote for poison was administered by her father. It was without avail, for at 70’clock yesterday morning she died. Katie Wilkins was almost 18 years of age, and a favorite of } all the people in the village. After taking the girl home, some of the men, knowing there had been two snakes, returned to the office and killed the other. The bady of ,the: young woman was swollen and spotted, The owl that caused the trouble is a largeand beauti- ful specimen of the snowy type. It is now in the possession of Farmer Thomas. The dead girl had become attached to the snakes, and been in the habit of feeding them. They knew her voice, and her presence seemed al- ways to be known to them. She would some- times handle them, and seemed to have no fear of them. DE PACHMANN concert for benefit of Day Nursery ; 6,988 children cared for in one year. A TRAVELERS MISHAP. Why Mr. O’Keefe Brings a Suit Against Mrs. Collis P. Huntingjon. NEw YORK, Jan. 17.—Mrs. Collis P. Hunting- ton will shortly be asked to pay to pay to Mr. O’Keefe, a drummer of Harlem, $30,000 damages for injuries he received through alleged carelessness in failing to close and lock the*coal hole in front of her homein Park avenue, before she went to bed one night two years ago. O’Keefe’s business keeps him about the mountains in-Mexico and South America and the only way he can reach his customers is to ride. He traveled over the most dangerous bridle paths inthe two countries. On theoccasion of his last visit home he was was walking up Park ave- nue one night, and when opposite the house in which Mrs, Huntington lived he stepped on the coal-hole cover and ‘it tipped with him. His injuries were described as follows: ‘‘Mr. O’ Keefe was mangled as if he had fallen from the backbamme of South America. He went down the hole feet foremost and his injuries were of such #nature that if he lives a hundred years longer he will never be able to ride a mule or evea an air-cushion again. He was so twisted up in the coal hole that his vitals are all in a tangle. In short, Mr. O’ Keefe is a physica] wreck.’’ Mr. Q’Keefe’s lawyer said gesterday that his client was absdlutely helpless for two years. Some montis ago O’Keefe sued Mrs. Huntington. The dase came up in the Su- preme Court on We ay, and Mrs. Hunt- ington’s lawyers gota non-suit on the ground that their client df not own the property. Mr. O’Keefe’s lawyer says that the property stands in Mrs. Huntington’s name and ‘he is preparing the papers for the second suit.

A Remarkable Year for Tornadoes, High Winds, Heavy Rains, Extreme Wetness and Drought and for the Proyision of Nature in Cool Weather. The annual report of the local Signal Service office has just been completed, and presents an array of interesting facts which show the past year to be a very exceptional one in many particulars, It is noted for the heaviest rain in one’ d history of the office, for the. one day and for the prevalencée of the from one point of the compass for — than an ordinary length of time. tem- perature. by months during ve ‘was as follows: January, 39.2 deg. ; February, 40. 2; March, 89.0; April, 57.2; May, 63.8; ; Page : ee ; August, 74,7; deptediiiér, r, | ber, 57.8; November, ° The mean temperature of. the year was 56.8. The average temperature ‘for St. Louts is 55.3 since the establishment of the station, and though it was thought last sum- asto the quantity of heated weather, the rule of nature in evening up things straight- tened it out at the close of the year, and the average for the year did not vary much from the average of twenty years, | THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE. The highest temperature during the year was on July 7, when it reached 98 deg. The lowest was on Feb. 28, when the mercury fell to4 deg. above zero, For thirty days during the heated term the temperature was 9 deg. above, distributed in June and July. For sixty-three days the temperature was 32 deg:, inthe months of December, January and March. The coldest month last year was December, which was 2 deg. colder than last January. The year is remarkable for the extreme high temperature in January, which was 8.6 deg. above the average for that month, and also for the extreme pre- cipitation or ‘the § first lf of the year and the extreme dryness of the last half. The mean annual precipitation at this station is 38.38 since the office wag lo- cated here. But up to May &, last year,there was an excess of 11.7linches, while at the end of the year there was a deficiency of 89. The rainfall by months last -year was as follows: January, 7.47 inches; Febru- ary, 2.86; March, 5.99; April, 4.06; May, 5.81; June, 3.18; July, .087; August, 2.43; Septem- ber, 1.80; October, .08; November, 1.55, De- cember, 1.32, a total of 37.69 inches. The ex- cessive rainfalls were on January 1, , when 3.57 inches fell. in twenty- four hours; on May 18, when 1.23 inches fell in fifty minutes, andon~May 23, when 1.51 inches fellin one hour and thirty minutes. With the exception of April 23, 1878, and June 26, 1886, the rainfall on Jan. 1 was the heaviest recorded in twenty-four hours, and that of May 48 isthe heaviest on record for one hour, * ANOTHER REMARKABLE FEATURE. Another remarkable feature of the year was the tornado of Jan. 12, when the wind reached the velocity of fifty-six miles an hour. On March 27, when the cy¢lone swept through Louisville, the wind traveled over this city at the rate of sixty miles an hour and did considerable damage. The barometer on that day read 29, the lowest ever recorded here. On that day half an inch of rain fellin ten minutes. made up of 149 cloudless days, 106 partly cloudy and 110 cloudy. There were 123 rainy days or about one in three. During the yearan instrument made auto- matic and a continuous record of the temper- ature and barometric pressure. It showed that the warmest hour in the day here is 4 o’clock in the afternoon and that 62.7 deg. is the average at thattime. The coldest part of the day is6a. m., when the average is 51.1 deg. A peculiarity ofthe wind last year was its tendency to become stronger in the day than at night, andreach its highest velocity at3or4o’clock, when it was most needed, during the summer. The wind traveled over this city during the year 98,677 miles and 2 per cent of this was from the southwest. EARNINGS Of mothers while their children were at the Day Nursery the past year, $38,137.

The Consumers’ Coal Co. continues to oper- ate the Ruby mines near Caseyville, Ill, with a small force of new men, the old hands still being out. About fourteen menare at work and they get out about three car loads a day. It hardly pays the company to work the mines in this way,and unless they can increase their force, they will probably close down the mine. All the men they have working are inexperienced in the mining business, and consequently cannot accomplish as-much as the same number of men skilled in the busi ness could. All the experienced miners who were secured refused to take the places of the men who were out, only green hands being willing to work. Supt. Evans says he has the backbone of the strike broken now, and that by Monday he will be able to secure a full complement of men, he thinks, He claims that two-thirds of the old hands are willing to return now, but that a few ringleaders will not permit them to doso, These ring- leaders, he says,’are in hopes of forcing the company to take them back, but he declares that he will shut down the mine for- ever rather than have them about, as they are always Causing trouble, so he avers, Taylor’s Sure Cure, tures Dyspepsia, Ex-Gov.

By the of January the’ board had accumulated 3,274 more of these cases than it had been able to consider and decide, and besides these it was receiving a steady current of cases re- turned to it from the United States courts THE CONDITION INGALLS DESCRIBED. When Senator INGALIs went toe Pitteburg and spoke for Quay and DELAMATER he supposed that extreme partyism had long ago eradicated the spirit of effective bolt- jing, and therefore he spoke of reform in politics as ‘‘an iridescent dream’’ of in- troducing the Golden Rule and the Deca- logue into contests from which party spirit utterly excluded them. He now says he was describing a condi- tion, not advancing a doctrine or an opin- ion as to what the condition ought to be. But the result of the election then pending in Kansas and Pennsylvania proved that he was sadly mistaken about the condition in both States. A great host of Repub- lican bolters were even then at work to show him, and did show him, that the condition in both States was the reverse of what he assumed it to be.° Senator INGALIS assumed that submis- sion to party leaders, or at least to. the guidance of a party majority, had become such a habit or fixed principle of action with American voters that they would fol- low the party banner in any revolt against the Golden Rule or the Decalogue. The result showed that his assumption was true as to nine-tenths only of the Republi- can voters of Pennsylvania, and that the other tenth might be moved by urgent considerations of public duty and by the very highest motives of party loyalty to bolt their party ticket and help its op- ponents to beat it, Another lesson taught by the result is that, in a country where party feeling is so strong and deserting'a party ticket ‘‘under the enemy’s fire’’ is so unusual, such a bolt may be generally accepted as ‘conclu- sive against the party action which is re- pudiated, and conclusive against the prop- osition that party spirit is an insuperable barrier to political reform. The outcome in Pennsylvania has demonstrated that the tenth man Who bolted rendered both his party and his country a more truly loyal | service than the nine who voted the ticket straight. DELAMATER is now awaiting trial on criminal charges prosecuted by some of his warmest partisans, and the affairs of his hrokeh bank reveal ‘worse crookedness than his most heated eppo- nents thought him capable of. Every Re- publican who voted for him must now feel grateful to the boltérs when he thinks of the predicament in which his party and his State would have been placed by the elec- tion of such a Governor. Se THE Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut has upon the face of the of- ficial returns a plurality of 3,686 votes over the Republican candidate and a majority of 26 overall. The Democrats captured the State Senate and that body has declared him elected. Not having control of both Houses this time, the Republicans cannot put their defeated candidate in the Goy- ernor’s chair as they have heen doing for years. But they control the House by means of the worst gerrymander that now affects any American Legislature—a gerry- mander which gives the 12,000 voters of Hartford no more representatives than are given to an insignificant town in the same county with only 200 votes. The House thus constituted refuses to count and de- clare the result of the returns. Gov. BrLEELBY, who will thus be enabled to hold over for another term, was rejected by the people at the polls, but as no one had a majority, he was elected by a Re- publican Legislature over the candidate who had beaten him before the people. Such acts tell where a party stands on the question of majority rule. = -_ ~~ —— MAYoR SARGENT 6f New Haven, a suc- cessful man of business, insists in his first message that the people ofa city should own and operate in their owninterest all water works, gas works, street railways, electric lighting plants, and all other public service works requiring special rights of eminent domain and exclusive privileges. - If the people of cities were in the habit of invariably treating a city elec- tion asa purely business matter, and of selecting their city officers as they select their private business agents, with refer+ ence alone to their honesty and qualifica- tion, there would be no controversy over Mayor SARGENT’S proposition.

Of all the monstrous provisions of the mort- bund force bill, under which the monopolists proposed to reign and plunder indefinitely, but which, afterall, served only to expose their greed and brutality, the most obvious retrogression was the one which displaced the Australian ballot in the States where it has obtained and prevented its introduction in those where it is still underdebate. It would have pushed out and destroyed, by it has been established by State law, And in this the bill was but the final and au- thorized expression of the general op- position of the monopolist bosses to the Australian system.

LOUIS COMPETITOR OF THE LEAD TRUST FROZEN OUT, And Mr. W. HE Gregg, Its Projector, Re- ported About to Again Become Presi- dent of a Trust Organization—Trust Representatives Here, A dispatch from New York published in the - morning papers to-day announces that a conference was held yesterday in that city between representatives of the National Lead Trust and of the principal smelting company of St. Louis, which assured the entrance of | the latter company into the trust. The dis- patch is inaccurate fh many particulars, in- asmuch as all the local companies, the st. Louis Smelting Co., the st. Louis White Lead & Oil Co., the Collier White Lead & Ofl Co. and the Southern te Lead & O11 Co, are already members of thé National Lead Trust, having been among the first to go into that organization at the time of its complete formation about two years ago, and also because the representa- tives ofthe National Trust are now in &t. Louis for the purpose of attending the anual meeting of the local branches of the trust next Monday. THE GREGG COMPANY BOUGHT OUT, » What the New York dispatch was intended to have stated inall probability was thata projected competitor of the trust in St. Louls had been frozen out by the national monop- oly, and that at the meeting to be held in this city on Monday next the leader of the anti- trust company would once more become an officer of the National Trust. About a year ago Mr.W. H. Gregg, who was then President of the Southern White Lead & Oil Co. ,sold out his interest in that company’s trust certifi- cate valuation and, resigning his position of President, retired from all connection with the trust. This step was taken at the same time with the retiement of Mr. Alex Euston of St. Louis as one of the officers of the National Trust, following the great de- cline in Lead Trust certificates andja shrinkage of $30,000,000 in the capitalization, and excited muck interest in lécal business and financial circles. It was supposed that Mr. Gregg’s retirement from active life was permanent, but some months ago he organs | ized a new white lead and smelting company outside of the trust and beganactive prepara- tions for the erection ofa large plant in 8&t. Louis to compete with the combine. THE LEAD TRUST PRESIDENT HERE. The Gregg plant has not been erected and never will be. It has been bought out by the National Lead Trust on terms that will not be made public, and the project of a rival opposition white lead company has been definitely abandoned. The final action, end- ing with the above result, was taken several weeks ago, when President W. L. Thompson of the National Lead Trust visited St. Louis and closed the deal with Mr. Gregg. In comsequence it is said that Mr. Gregg will on Monday next be elected president and general manager of the South- ern White Lead & O11 Co. of St. Louis, one of the trust organizations in this city. Hugh McBirney, who succeeded Mr. Gregg as Presi- dent of the Southern, has for some time past been the Chicago representative of the Na- tional Lead Trust, and will be permanently located in that city for the future. TRUST REPRESENTATIVES ARRIVE TO-DAY, The representatives of the National Lead Trust now in St. Louis are Second Vice-Presi- dent Rockwell of New York and Mr. McBir- ney. Bothof these gentlemen arrived this morning and were on ’Change during the forenoon. Mr. Alex Euston who, it is said, has an indirect influence'in Lead Trust affairs, is also expected before Monday. The local trust organizations to hold their annual meetings on that day are the Southern and Collier White Lead Cos. and the St. Louis Smelting Co. Itis likely that some im- portant changes will be made at that time, and the belief is-formed that the Lead Trust will declare a dividend on the business of 1890. The year is said to have been an unusu- ally profitable on6, and the combine is now said to have fully overcome the dead weight caused by the necessity of taking many un- profitable plamts into the original consolida- |tion, The freezIng-out of the proposed Gregg White Lead & QOil-works was so quietly ac- complished that, although closed some weeks ago, the fact has not been published before. It gives the national trust absolute control of the territory covered by St. Louis. A Lively Quickstep.

The Grand Opera-house was packed to the doors last night, the occasion being the first production of ‘‘Carmen’’ by the Bostonians, and seldom has an audience had better reason for the tumultuous applause which was almost constant throughont the performance. Jessie Bartlett Davis took the title role, and her rendition of the character of the fickle, warm-blooded, passionate gypsy was a réve- lation to those whe had seen her only in the less trying parts of light opera. She recelved a perfect ovation, and amply deserved it. In speaking she manifested symp- toms of the severe cold from which she has been suffering during the wéek, but as soon as she began to sing, her strong con- tralto voice rang out true and clear, without a suspicion of weakness or huskiness. None whp heard her will doubt that the role of Carmen, although intendeaé for a mezzo- soprano, can be admirably handled by acon- tralto, ifthe contralto is of sufficiently high class. Her acting was scarcely inferior to her singing, and many could scarcely believe that the vehement, forceful brunette was the boyish and pettish Allan-a-Dale, whom they had seen in ‘‘Robin Hood.’’ Spirit and fire were seen in every movement, and her rapid alternations between coquetry, tenderness and scornful anger were beyond praise.

TAUSSIG MAKES A STATEMENT. His Opinion of the Council’s Action on the Depot Ordinance. There is certainly a screw loose somewhere in the Council, and the worthy legislators are doing some very strange and peculiar work with the Union Depot ordinance. It came up last night for discussion and Mr. Comfort found occasion tosay many things which were entirely uncalled for and useless. The difficulty was upon the question of how much should be set apart for a bridge and how much the com- pany should be called upon to spend on the depot building. Aftera good deal of talking the bridge question was arranged un- der a motion of Mr. Ganahl’s specifying that the Union Depot Co. deposit in the City Treasury $150,000 to. be used when an ordi- nance to build d@ bridge is passed in the future. Then the question of the depot building was taken up and talked over, It is still, however, unsettled. Dr. Taussig was asked this morn- ing what he thought of the action taken last night and what he would considera fair and reasonable ordinance. He said: “a do not to talk about the matter until the ordinance is - The Council can decide what they will do first, as I can- not tell beforehand what my associates will do.. We must see first what we get before we act. Ican say, though, that some of the Council are acting in avery unreasonable manner and could easily get information from us if they asked forit. They talk about our refusal to tell how much the building will cost and what it will be. I said we were willing to make the minimum cost of the depot proper, excusive of tracks, and the want inclusive* instead of exclusive. We are perfectly willing to meet these gentlemen at any time and discuss the matter with them, and there is no necessity for making such speeches as were made last night.’’ The ordinance is now laid over until the next meeting, which will, be 6n Tuesday evening. In the meantime Mr. Taussig will gathera quantity of information as to the costs of depot buildings, which will be far- nished to the Council. FOR KILLING A LETTER CARRIER. Henry J.

Qn her way upstairs she stopped at the desk and registered in a neat, well-rounded and wholly feminine hand as ‘‘Miss Huason, Xansas City, Mo.’” Inless than half an hour she rang the bell and sent out for whisky. Be- fore 5 o’clock she had called three times for liquor, then all was quiet in her room. ALL I8 OVER. A few minutes after 80’clock Mrs. Dyson, the night chambermaid@, noticed that there was no lightin the apartment. Going into the adjoining room she looked over the tran- som, but could see nothing. She knocked, and there was no answer. Tlie door was then unlocked with a pass-key andthe gas lighted. There, prostrate on the bed, lay the remains of the guest. The body was scantily attired, and death ,was plainly stamped on the drawn, pale face. The right arm was across her breast, while the fingers of the left hand convulsively clutched at the bed covering. A bottle, more than half full of morphine, lay on the floor beneath the man- tel. A physician was soon on the scene, but he pronounced life extinct. The body was then sent to the Morgue. A more thorough examination of the apart- ment and the effects was then made for the purpose of finding some evidence as to the deceased’s identity. The first bit of writing discovered was 0n a wrapper around a box of candy which stood onthecentertable. The address, in the same handwriting as on the hotel register, was ‘‘Mrs. E. J. Moore, 610 Oak street, Kansas City, Mo.’’ In the pocket of the dress onthechair was found a half- written letter In a stamped and directed envelope, which bere the address, ‘‘Mr. George B.

This is in a different hand. ; There was alsoa note in the deceased,’s hand as follows: Please send by boy one bottle of morphine, and oblige, Mrs. THURMAN. Her diamond ring bore the monogram ‘‘G. B.

()) REV. LUIGI ANGELINI’S SERMON AT he LAFAYETTE PARK CHURCH. He Gives His Experience as a Monk in Rome—A Story on Fra Guisseppe Which Provoked Much Laughter—A Most Remarkable Sermon. Rev. Luigi Angelini, once Fra Olement of the Capuchin Priesthood of the Roman Cath- oli¢ Church, now a minister of the Evangel- ical Free Church of Rome, lectured before a tremendous congregation last night at the Lafayette Park Presbyterian Church. The title of his lecture was ‘Seven Years a Monk In and Around Rome,’’ and it was devoted principally to a description and condemnation of the hardships and sacrifices of the monastic life. The subject was treated in a humorous man- ner, often bordering on the burlesque, and the audience was kept infa ‘constant roar of laughter, frequently joined in by the speaker -himself/ _ The address opened with a description of Mr. Angelini’s novitiate for the Capuchin priesthood in the Monastery of Palan- zano in’ Rome. .- It dwelt strongly upon the instructions given him by the father of the monastery upon his definite entrance into the order tothe effect that he was not to use his eyes, earsor tongue, and then went intoa description of the daily life of the Monks. Allthe various sérvices of prayer, song and vigil were described with comical imitations of some of his fellow Monks and laughing references to his own sufferings un- der the rigia discipline of the order. The scenes in the refectory of the monastery at meal times were pictured with graphic humor, and the speaker charged that some of the monks were in the habit of drink- ing too much wine, which added to the comic features.of the occaSion. A JOKE ON A BIBULOUS CAPUCHIN. In dwelling upon that feature of the priestly life, Rev. Angelinitolda joke gn one of the brotherhood, acertain Fra Guiseppe, which brought down the\house. The worthy Fra was, he said, of bibulous tenden- cies, and took advantage of every opportunity to indulge his weakness for the flowing bowl. The monks drank wine from cups, or mugs, and at the bottom of Fra Guiseppe’s mug wasa sacred picture. This gave him the excuse he wanted, and Fra Guiseppe was never content until he had drained the mug to the bottom, so that his gaze might. rest upon the picture. The father of the monastery, hearing of Guiseppe’s worship of this symbol at the expense of his temperate habits, had the sacred picture painted out of the ‘pottom of the mug, anda representation of the devil, horns and all, put in its place. But Fra Guiseppe was equal tothe occasion. ‘*Not a drop willl leave for that devil,’’ he used to cry indignantly, and so emptied the mug with as much righteous comfort as ever. IRREVERENT MONKS AT PRAYER. The speaker aiso raised a laugh by his de- scription of the tricks of the Capuchins during the long prayers they had tochant in unison inthe chapel. Just so they kept the intoning at the proper pitch, he said, it was all right, and they would carry on conversation with one another, their remarks being made in a chant which could not be distinguished from the prayers proper to the occasion. ‘‘Lend me a needle,’’ ‘‘Have you any thread?’’ etc., etc., would be passed from the corner of one brother’s lips to his fellow monk with the greatest sang froid as they knelt with arms crossed and heads reverently bent in } solemn prayer. The speaker imitated the gnanner in which these worldly requests yould be chanted, with considerable enjoy- 1ent of the ludicrous side of the story. SOME MONASTIC MIRACLES. In speaking of the discipline of obedience, Rev. Angelini told “how the young monks would be instructed to plant cabbage in the monastery gardens with the roots up. The cabbage would then be set right by the regular gardener, and when | they began to grow the result was proclaimed as a miracle, the miracle of obedience. ‘*In the Campagnia, just outside of Rome,’’ said the speaker, in following the idea of the miraculous cabbages, ‘‘there is to-day what is pointed out as the miraculous fig tree of St. Francis. It is said to have grown from a brand which he ordered one of his disciples to pluck from a fire, and which was already nearly con- sumed. ‘‘Do you believe that a fig tree grows from a burnt stick? You may doso if you like, but as for me I certainly believe no such story.’’ Fra Clement’s hard lines during his first year as a Capuchin were then told of; how, upon spilling a dishful of the good macaroni which the monks loved so dearly, a hole was cut through the dish and it was suspended by a cord’around his neck. He had to sleep with itin that position and when, on the third day, in kneeling upon the refectory floor, he purposely broke it, he was made, as a pen- ance, to lick the refectory bricks from the en- trance to where the father sat. When he ar- rived before that monk’s’ seat his tongue was bleeding from the ordeal, but he was made to stand there, his mouth filled with blood and dust, until the brothers had finished dinner, when he was allowed to wash away the effects of his act of penance. Three days spent in solitary con- finement in the monastery dungeon were also described by Rev. Angelini with considerable effect? He had struck a fellow monk ‘‘on the nose,’’ ashe explained witha pugilistic gesture. The solitary cell was pitch biack, one little hole admitting fresh air, and his daily rations of bread and water were shoved through that hie. GOOD AND BAD CAPUCHINS., Then the ex-monk touched upon the per- gsonale of his fellow-monks. ‘‘There are many good men who are monks,’’ he said earnestly. ‘‘Mistaken men, who undergo all these sufferings because they really believe it is for the glory of God. But there are some very bad men among them, very, very bad men.’’ No definite charges as to the nature of the wickedness of monks were made, and the lecture throughout was rambling and anec- dotical in form. Occasionally the speaker became so excited that his English grew chaotic in its fervor and was almost unin- telligible. He paid his respects to the Catho- lic Truth Society of this city before enter- ing upon his _iecture, reading long extracts in latin from a book of the church supporting his statements that Catholic teaching imposed many mediators besides Jesus Christ between man and God. He said that the St. Louis Catholic Truth So- ciety should be called the Catholic ‘‘Mis- taken’’ Society, and thatif American Cath- olics did not believe those teachings of the Church, so much the better for them. In closing, Rev. Angelini spoke of the poverty of Italy, giving as one of its causes this great army of 120,000 non-supporting Italian priests, who could do so much good work out in the world. He prayed that the time might come when the superstitions and errors of priesthood would be done away with. AN INFINITELY SAD STORY. At the conclusion of Rev. Angelini’s lecture Rev. Dr. Palmer of the Lafayette Park Pres- byterian Chureh said that, although the brother’s remarks had caused much laugh- ter and amusement, to him the story had been a sad one, infinitely sad, as showing the ignorance, the lack of liberty, the degrada: } tion of the priesthood. He, too, prayed that the light of truth would eventually dispel such darkness. He closed by announcing that Rev. Angelini would preach in that Church Sunday night.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED. Wabash Trainmen Come to an Under standing With Manager Hays. The Committee of Wabash Trainmen who have been in this city since last Monday consulting with General Superin- tendent Magee and General Manager Hays in regard to adjusting the pay and work of the conductors and brakemen on passenger and freight trains of the road have about completed their labors. There will be no strike or trouble of any kind, everything being satisfactorily arranged by each side making concessions. Owing to the different Managements under whick the lines of the road on the east and the west sides of the river were formerly operated, the systems of runsand pay have varied. The trainmen sent their committe here to endeavor to have the work on the road equalized, and the pay ofthe men increased. The increase they demanded was not granted, but the manage- ment met the men half way and arranged a schedule of pay which equal-” izes salaries and also equalizes the runs. Under the new schedule the wages of the men will only average a trifle higher, some employes being Yeduced and others raised, but the great advantage of the arrangement to both’ the road and workmen is that it equalizes matters on the entire system and treats all employes and divisions alike. Those who had the long runs and hours have their runs reduced and will receive extra pay for ex- tra work, The new arrangement appears to be very satisfactory to the work- men, IT is so easy to‘contract a cold, which from its obstinacy may entaila long siege of dis- comforts before getting rid ofit, that the afflicted should resort atonce to that old- established remedy, Dr. D. Jayne’s Expecto- rant, which will speedily remove all coughs and colds, and help youto avoid all compli- cations involving the throat and lungs. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

IMPORTANT SUIT AGAINST THE NEW YORE CENTRAL. Claim Laid to the Possession of 19,000 Acres of Land on the Hudson—Western Traffic Association—The Soo’s Rate—, —Oompelled to Testify. YONKERS, N. Y., Jan. 17.—A suit was brough against the New York Central & Hudson River road yesterday afternoon which, it is said, may involve a strip of property extend- ing from Spuyten Duyvil to Albany. It isthe land from the water’s edge to and including the tracks of the railroad company, and also certain portions of land at various stations along the road, which are now being used by the company as freight yards, switch yards, storage yards and wharves. The amount of ground included in this strip com- rises, it is said, ahout 19,000 acres. e suit is brought by Alexander Saunders and D. ‘Saunders of Yonkers, through lawyers R. E. & A. J. Prime and Burns of Yonkers in the Supreme Court at White Plains. The papers were served yes- terday. The suit is to eject the railroad com- pany from a portion of the property used now as its freight sheds, freight depot, side track and railroad tracks in the city of Yon- kers, which is adjacent tothe property oc- cupied by the Saunders, a gas fixture manu- factory. The property involved in this suit amounts to about $25,000 The company claims the strip of property from Spuyten Duyvil to Albany under a grant from the State of New York made in 1878. In that year, it is said, it applied to the Land Commissioner at Al y for the strip, and that he granted the property to the com- ypany on the payment of $500 into the State Treasury, and also in consideration of the payment of the engineers’ fees for sur- veying, etc. {t is alleged by the property owners that when the company made the ap- plication for the grant it did so without noti- fying the property owners, and thatthe lat- ter were in ignorance of the grant. The com- pany had a mapofthis water front made. The map was 250 feet long. Copies of it were filed with the County Clerk of each county through which the strip runs. During the years which the railroad company has held this grant property owners along the water front have spent large sums of money in im- proving their water fronts, believing that they ownea it. The manner in which the property owners thus affected ascertained that the railroad company claimed the land was by Lawyer Prime discovering the large map in the County Clerk’s office at White Plains. About that time certain prop- erty owners were negotiating the sale of their property along the waterfront. They discovered on account of this grant they could not give aclear title to their property. The property owners then became alarmed, and the other night they held a meeting to consult upon means for regaining possession of property they had always believed to be theirs. Mr. Saunders was present at the meeting. He told the property owners that he intended to institute a suit against the railroad company and retained the Primes in the case. The other property owners de- cided to join with Mr. Saunders and make his a test case. If his suit succeeds other suits will follow. The amount of property which is involved in this suit and which is backing up the Saunders in their fight, amounts to fully $200,000. No date is set for the trial. Western Traffic Association. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 17.—In an interview this morning Traffic Manager Sargent of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis road with reference to the meeting of the Western traf- fic managers at Chicago yesterday said that bis road is not sufficiently informed as to the object of the association and the effect that it will have forhim to pass an opinion. So far he sees nothing in it that leads him to 0belleve that it will be of interest to the Memphis to join. He believes that at the meeting ofthe presidents in New York some action was taken which has been withheld or something was left undone to be completed at a future meeting of the presi- dents, and therefore his road will, give no de- cision until the full proceedings of the meet- ing or a subsequent meeting of the presidents is made public.

An Instrument Designated to Aid Dis- tressed Mariners. . New YorK, Jan. 17.—In the interest of the safety of mariners an exhibition of the lucli- graph was givenat the Maritime Exchange yesterday before an enormous attendance, This isan English patent device constructed to flash at night national code signais or plain words and number upon a diamond shaped ecreen.or any flat surface from a port of dan- ger or distress. The illuminating characters can be magnified toa size that would make them visible at along distance without the aid ofa glass. The instrument is of simple con- struction, being a sort of scientifiC combina- ion of a powerful magic lantern and the Key- board of a typewriter, and can be operated by a child. A kerosene lamp of five-candle power gives a flash of leters, which appear over two feet in length. In certain times of danger light-houses and beach stations could give expert and brief direction to vessels that could not be given by the voice. There are occurrences on some cpasts when the signal alone of ‘‘Do not trust the boats’’ would prove of great service to shipwrecked sailors at night. It was estimated that the con- trivance. could be arranged to display con- tinued sentences. $5.75. St. Louis to Chicago. $5.75. VIA RED EXPRESS OF J. 8. E.

NEw YORE, Jan. 17.—A gang of workmen employed in excavating the rock from the vacant lot onthe east sideof Ninth avenue between Seventieth and Seventy-first streets had made every preparation fora blast at 8:50 yesterday morning. The dynamite cartridge had been placed andthe men had all retired out of harm’s way. For some reason or other the cap failed to gooff. After waiting afew minutes Julius Gastino, the foreman of the gang, went back to try and find out the rea- son. Heremoved a pdrtion of the lumber that had been placed over the rocks to pre- vent their fying around when the explosion should occur. Gastino was not satisfied with a mere superficial gaze and took a stick and commenced poking the cap. The cartridge exploded while the unfortunate man was bending overit. He was blown nearly forty feet in the air in sight of his fellow workmen. When the body fellto the ground the other laborers rushed to see how the unfortunate man had fared. He was a shapeless mass. His head was blown into fragments andof his arm only a shattered bone remained, and St. Louis to Chicago . In eight hours and forty minutes, a new train.

Dowd, for seven- teen years president of the Bank of North America, sent in his resignation yesterday at the meeting of the directors of the bank, pleading ill-health as a causeof his retire- ment. Mr. Dowd was continued onthe pay-roll at half salary for life. His regular salary was €9,000. His successor is Warner Van Norden a wealthy retired business man,who has been a director of the bank for many years. Heis president of the Presbyterian Club, was a ‘member of the Committee on Revision at the Presbyterian Conference, and on one or two occasions has presided at the general conven- tion of that church. Wm.F. Havemeyer suc- ceeds John J. Donaldson as Vice-President, and there will be further changes to-day, it is said, in the.Board of Directors.

The Millions Left by Banker Davis. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 17,.—Another move has been made in the contest forthe millions left by Banker Davis of Butte, which still further complicates the already celebrated case. A commissioner was appointed to take the tes- timony of certain witnesses in Van Buren County, lowa, relative to the signature of J. Davis, attached toacertain instrument exe- cuted in that county. The object of the tes- timony is to establish the identity of the sig- nature of the late millionaire that it may be compared with the signature to the will re- cently brought to light but declared a forg- ery, and show thatitisthe same handwrit- ing. Heavy Travel to Hot Springs. The rush of businessthe past few days to Hot Springs over the Iron Mountain Route has compelled the mannagementto increase the service by the addition of an extra sleeper on the evening train leaving St. Louis at 8:20 p.m.,and to placea through Hot Springs sleeper on the morning train leaving Union Depot at9:25a.m. Thisis anew feature of Hot Springs travel and the service will go into effect Jan. 18.

Jack McAuliffe and Billy Myer Matched— The Association Again Put Into the Soup by the National League—Sporting News in General. Henry Sampson, whoas Pendragon of the London Referee has a world-wide reputation asa writer in pugilism, reviews the late Joe Ooburn as follows: ‘*In the course of last week two old-time fighting men passed away, Harry Poulson and Joe Coburn, the one an Englishman and the other an American. I suppose it is cor- rect to say that Joe Coburn was an American. He was always an American, and very much an American, asa fighting man; as a matter of absolute nationality he was born at Armagh, in the now more than ever distressful country, somewhere about fifty- six or fifty-seven years ago, and was, at the beginning of the hegira which took place shortly afterward, transported to the land of the star-spangied banner. Thereis not much opportunity of knowing exactly what class of fighter Coburn was, and whenhe came over here with the expressed intention of fighting Mace, who was then champion, the men did not get into the ring, and, sofar as I Know, Coburn never showed his form even with the gloves in this country. The conditions of the match with Mace were that it should be for £500 a side, the battle to be fought in Ireland, and Coburn was to receive £100 for traveling and other expenses. Coburn received his £100, but on his arrival in Dublin, where the high con- tracting parties all met, he would not consent to enter the ring or take off his clothes unless his mother or his aunt, or some other near and dear relation, was appointed referee. The affair ended in one of the hollowest and most lamentable failures that even the prize ring has been able tobringabout. To say this is to say a great deal, as some ofthe worst and most ludicrous flascos this world has ever known must, one way or another, have come in connection with prize fight- ing. But it was so, and there is no use attempting to disguise ordenyit. Ire- member the circumstances (just over twenty- six years ago) perfectly well, and don’t know where their equal could be found for blatant false pretense and arrant humbug. Till this day what class of man Coburn really was re- mains a mystery. If he could fight Mace for three hours and a half, even in a swamp, and our old man really meant fighting, he must have been abit of a goodone. But our old man didn’t always mean fighting; and it might have happened besides that any undue desire on his part to punch Coburn’s head would have ended in his own being riddled with a score or so of bullets. MYER AND M’AULIFFE MATCHED. Jack McAuliffe of Brooklyn,the light-weight champion of America, and Billy Myer, the Streator Cyclone, have been matched to fight with gloves for a stake of $,000a side and the largest purse that can be secured. James Colville of Boston is McAuliffe’s backer and Alf Kennedy of Streator, Ull., is Myer’s. A deposit of $250 a side has been made with Bud Renaud of New Orleans. A purse of $7,000 has been offered for the contest by the Olympic Club, but McAuliffe hopes to receive an offer of $10,000 from the Puritan Club of Long Island City. If the latter organization secures the contest there will not be any stake or side bet, the purse only being fought for. This is because the officers of the club are friends of McAuliffe, and while Myer is willing to fight the New Yorker even before that organization, he and his backer do not feel disposed to risk any stake money to the decision of men who are known to sympathize with and favor his antagonist. The match between Jimmy Carroll and Jack McAullife, for which the Olympic Club offered $10,000 and the Puritans $11,000, willnot be made, Fitz- simmons’ trainer declaring that there is more money in managing the New Zealander. It would appear from this that despite all his howling and talk Carroll was not very anxious fora return battle with the New Yorker, but was satified to stand pat on his defeat al- ready sustained. McAuliffe’s friends always declared that the news- paper reports of the fight before the California Club were all highly coiored in Carroll’s favor,and that there was notruth in the assertion that the crafty little English- man hadthe best of the contest up tothe time that McAuliffe delivered the knock-out blow. The McAuliffe men say that Carroll never had achanceto win, the New Yorker outclassing him from the star@ Billy Myer has been anxious fora go with either of the men,and McAuliffe in particular. He has agreed to fight the New Yorker even before the latter’s favorite club, the Puritan, and has also agreed to the champion’s conditions as to weight, 135 pounds, give or take two pounds. This permits the men to weigh in at 137 pounds, four pounds above the gen- erally accepted light-weight limit, which is 133 pounds. The Queensbury rules limit, however, is 140 pounds and McAuliffe has been standing on this fact. He is getting too heavy totrain down to 133 pounds without weakening himself. Dick Roche, the head of the Puritan Club, was McAuliffe’s backer whenthe latter fought Myer a draw, and only the Streator boy’s great desire to have another go at the champion would induce him to fight before that club. JACK FOGHRTY TO RETIRE. Pringle in the Pittsbug Dispatch has always been a friend and admirer of Jack Fogarty, the Pennsylvania middle-wéight. He has held that Fogarty was a mere boy when he fought and was defeated by Jack Dempsey and that he had not fully developed, and therefore not the fighter he should be now that he has reached maturity. Hereis what Pringle has to say of his favorite: Jack Fogarty, after vainly trying to Sse- cure a battle with any middle-weight in America, or any other country, for that mat- ter, has decided to retire from all pugilistic business. His judgment in this instance may be wisest, certainly he will in the long run be the gainer. I have always held the opinion that Fogarty, would be a dangerous opponent for any man his weight. Apparently champions and aspiring cham- pions have held a similar opinion, because they have steadily declined to meet him, I know personally that all kinds of efforts have been made in behalf of Fogarty to secure him a contest with either La Blanche, Dempsey, Young Mitchell, inshort, any middle-weight inthe world, Theclubs or ‘‘pubéaclubs,’’ as somebody calis them, have strictly adhered to their custom of keeping their favorites busy and asa result some ofthe veriest pugilistic frauds have been put into these pub-club rings to fight for big purses, real or alleged. Itis a pity that Fogarty has not hada chance since he became a man to tackle one ofthe very best ofthe champions. He may, how- ever, change hismind. He says he won’t. JACK KING TO MIKE BODEN. Jack King writes to this paper as follows: ‘‘Thave $50in Tom Allen’s hands to fight Mike Boden, any style he may mention. He has been talking about fighting anybody in St. Louls. Now, ifhe means fight let him cover this money and arrange a match for a purse and stake. He will please answer this as soon as possible if he means business. Now, Mr. Boden, put up or shut up. ** JACK KING.’’ BASE BALL. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The Boston triumvirs have finally agreed to permit an American Association Club to be placed in Boston. Itis heralded as a great victory of the Association over the National League, but it is hard to understand where the victory is achieved as the consent is hampered with a number of conditions which will make it utterly impos- sible to make the club a succes¢?. The conditions under which the Bostonians agreed to a second club are: That 50 cents be the admission fee; that the name ‘‘Boston’’ be in no way connected with the name of the Association club. That the National League Club have Decora.- n Day; that the Association ms-tyn bo have July when the Association finds that the club can not play for 80 cents that the club be taken | out of Boston; that every player of the pres- ent Boston (P. L.) Club taken from the Na- tional League Club be returned. It is merely another cunning ruse of the National League, who never make a deal with the Association without giving the latter or- ganization all the worst of it. While pre- tending to have made remarkable concessions to the Association in Boston, the crafty League magnates have really given them nothing. They leave em without play- ers for their Bost team, without the name of Boston, d then want them to charge as much to their games as the National League organization with a strong team and all the choice of dates. Of course no Association club can live in the Hub under those conditions. In return for this magnan- imous action’ the National League will no doubt adopt some measure opposed to the Association’s interest and force the latter to submit to it, helding before them all the time the League’s great generosity inthe Boston matter. There will also bean Association team in Chicago. At the Association meeting yesterday the Toledo trouble was also settled and the club of that city resigned with Rochester and Syra- cuse. Washington, Philadelphia and Boston were elected to membership, the Players’ League people in the two latter cities‘ getting the franchises and Scanlanand Bennett se- curing the Washington membership. Chica- go has not yet been admitted andan effort is being made to have Milwaukee take the place of Toledo inthe West. Last night at9:30the National League and American Association helda joint meeting and admitted the Western Association as a joint member to the national a ment. This makes ita major league andres it equal rights with the two older with which it will hereafter be associated in con- ducting the affairs of the national agreement. This is another shrewd move on the part of the National League. They pro- posed taking in the Western Association, and hereafter that organization may be relied upon to voté with the National League on all points of difference between it and the Asso- ciation. In this way they can out-vote the Association two to one on everything. The fact of the matter is that the Association people are no match for the League magnates when it comes to legislating on base ball. SALE OF THE LOUISVILLE CLUB. Atelegram from Louisville, Ky., has the following to say ofthe sale ofthe club there on Wednesday: ‘‘There isa big row in local base ball circles over the saleof the Louts- ville club. The small stockholders of the club, numbering 108, have organized and will petition the courts to annul the sale and ap- appointa receiver. Despite the fact $10,000 cash was offered forthe cluba few days ago, it was sold by the President and Directors, representing a scant majority of the stock, for $6,000, ostensibly for the purpose of re- quiting a mortgage for that amount, but in reality for the purpose of freezing out the small holders.’’ COMISKEY ON THE SITUATION. Capt.Comiskey speaking of the admission of Boston to the Association, this morning re- marked: ‘‘Yes, it is true that the accession of Boston to the Association ranks is attended with incumbrances, but notwithstanding these, Ithink the club there can be made to pay. It will be under the control of the old Players’ League people, who have a big following there. They will get a first- class man to manager the team and players can be secured who will play just as good and just as attractive ball as did the Chicago colts of last season. The nameof Boston will cut but little igure. People in base ball don’t patronize names, and outside of the senti- mental feature ofit the name will not prove much ofa factor. What the public want is good ball playing, and the Boston capitalists who have their money invested itn the Asso- ciation club will work all the harder to get a | good team, than if they had plain salling.’’ vee , : 5 gts, ‘ 4 : “a " ie Ss »* € my 2 A 3 +e * i ee ce Ne ‘*What do you think of the other charges?’’ ‘*I think the American Association recon- structed with Boston, Chicago and Washing- ton in place of Toledo, Rochester and Syra- cuse will be much stronger. Washington with 25 cents admission will pay. They, the people there, must have a good team though, and the chances are they will. It.is far better that the warring interests be settled the way they have; been rather than to go on fighting when such warf: is of no earthly interest to the public, w want and ask for peace. The game, I think, will be restored to its old popular basis again, and it remains to be seen whether the present set- tlement will not prove generally beneficial. I think it will.’’ **What about St. Louis?’’ ‘*‘Well, nothing has yet been done to- ward gettinga team for St. Louis for 1991. Now that the magnates have come together and practically settled their differences the arranging of the team will be in order. St. Louis will not get left, youcan depend upon it. Wewlll have as goodateam as we ever had, andthat you know is saying a good deal.’’ **Can you name any of the individual mem.- bers?’’ **Well, I would rather keep quiet on this subject for a while at least. You can say, however, that Denny Lyons or Billy Joyce will in all proba- bility cover third base. They are both good men. Shorty Fuller is booked for short, but the second base man is not yet located. I will be atfirst. Tip O’Neill will no doubt be found in his old position at left. He’s as good as he ever was, and the report of any dif- ferences between us is a little off-color. McCarthy will be in to-night and while Duffee will be onthe team he may not cover center regularly.

Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children.” Dra. G. C, Osaoon, Lowell, Mass. * Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in- stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves.” Dr. J. F. KrNcHELog, Conway, Ark. | “ Castoria is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me.” H. A, Arcuzr, M. D., 111 So, Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “Our physicians in the children’s depart- ment have spoken highly of their experi- ence in their outside practice with Castoria, and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits of Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it.” Unirep HosprraL 4ND Dispensary, Auten C.
