era Judge 1 ＋ ail > ae i Ses = —— — RE that the War Department will not issue it to the cavalry, although as a fighting arm,when in good condition, its superiority to the car. da. The life of a Winchester in is admitte Eedian bands is therefore a short one, and, gince the last of Sitting Bull’s band of rene. gades came in during 1881, it is probable that the Sioux warriors have had at least three gets of weapons. If they were disarmed now they would all have new weapons by fall, even if it were necessary to half starve them- selves in the interim to obtain them. A POPULAR PROPOSITION. Aside from this it would be an unquestion- abe hardshipto deprive the Indians of the means of obtaining game. Many of the reservations were set off with the avowed intention of leaving the Indians good hunting ds and their rations, rather meager at best, have been generously supplemented by the fruits of the chase. The Indian is anen- ' thusiastic hunter, and observes a set of rough game laws in a manner that shames the whites. Although there are far more Indian than white hunters, the game on the reser- vations is much better preserved than any- where else, and a Sioux who should be guilty of the ruthless slaughter that is so character- istic of the white hunter would be very sav- agely dealt with by his own people. To de- prive the Indians of the means of following the chase would be more certain to render them bitterly and irreconcilably hostile than any other scheme that could be devised. A planhas been advanced which seems to meet with general favor for solv- ing the difficulty. Many officers recommend that the Sioux be supplied by the Government with muzzle-loading rifies, which are good for hunting, but which are almost useless asafighting arm. This plan has been fol- lowed by the Canadians with most excellent results. If the savages were supplied with good hunting arms they would not “make the sacrifices that they do now in order to obtain weapons that can be used both for hunting and fighting, and in case of an outbreak the muzzle-loaders would be little more effective than bows and arrows. A PRACTICAL DISARMAMENT. If the Sioux were given to understand that I they gave up their Winchesters they would not be left without guns, but would receive rifles with which they could hunt, the task of disarmament would be a much easier one. If it was then made an offense for an Indian to be found with a breech-loader in his posses- sion, it is believed by officers of experience that the Indians would be disarmed for all ractical purposes without great trouble. — is a great safety valve for the energies young warriors, and they are never so disconténtea and dangerous as when iying about the agency with nothing todo. That they can ever be made agriculturists to any considerable ex- tent is believed by none who have had experi- ence with them, but by substituting old- fashioned weapons for their present fine armament they could be rendered practitally There are quantities of old ipringfield muskets jn the possession of the nesovernment that are of no use to the army, Mout which would enable the Indians to hunt with success. Ta entirely disarm them and Keep them disarmed is a practical impossi- ility, but it would not be so difficult to sub- stitute the old-fashioned rifie for the breech- loader, and would be nearly as effective in preventing an outbreak as to keep them with- out guns of any description. The chiefs would be able to collect the Winchesters if it was known that other guns would be given in return, and only by a voluntary surrender can the arms be obtained, as the entire army would be unable to find them where they are now hidden. Such rifles as have been turned in are worthless trash, more dangerous to the man atthe breech than the one at the muzzle, and the disarmament is a farce. Bad Feeling Among the Indians. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., via Rushville, Neb., Jan. 19.—There is increasing nervous- ness noticeable among the Indians this morn- ing, occasioned by the difficulty the Indians experience in agreeing upon the question of turning over their arms, submit - ting tothe degration of the several tribes and the manner in which they are to be treated by the Government. The Rosebud Indians fear to leave the agency lest they be set upon and killed by the sol- diers. About thirty, however, will go to Rosebud to-day. In the council yesterday the Rosebuds boldly charged that the Ogal- lalas had committed as many crimes as they had themselves. Bad feeling was also engendered by the statement of one chief, that he intended to turn over all the Indians to the soldiers as a consequence of these actions. The collection of arms has been very unsatisfactory, only forty-four having been given up. A COUNCHL, 1 p.m.—The commanders of the several camps Gen. Brocke, Gen. Carr, Col. Henry, Col. Shafter, Col. Seffly, Col. Whea- ton, Maj. Wells, Maj‘ Whstesides and Capt. Capron have just been in counsel with Gen. Miles, having been specially summoned for the purpose.

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN A MEAT INSPECTION CASE. . % The Inspection Law of Virginia Declared Unconstitutional— Debate on a Ruling of Vice-President Morton—Republicans Have a Quorum. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—The United States Supreme Court to-day handed down an opinion affirming the judgment of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia, directing thata writ of habeas corpus be granted to Wm. Rebman, convicted in Norfolk of vio- ation of the State meat inspection law. This is one of what are known as the dressed beef cases, arising out of State legis- lation having for its object restrictions of sale of meats by firms located outside the State in which the meats are of- fered for sale. The statutes of Virginia make it an offense to offer for sale fresh meats slaughtered more than 100 miles from the place of sale, unless first inspected, provision for which is made on the petition of not less than twenty persons, the compensation to the inspector tobelcenta pound. It is contended that this law was an interference with int state commerce, and therefore un- constitutional and void. The court in- an opinion by Justice Harlan sus - tains this contention and affirms the judg- of the lower court ordering Rebman’s re- lease. THE SENATE. WasHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.~After reading the journal in the Senate to-day Mr. Gor- man proceeded to argue against the correctness of a decision of the Vice- President during Friday’s session, to the effect that an appeal from that decision was not debatable because the question itself on which the decision was made was not debatable. Mr. Gorman admitted that that rule, although in direct conflict with allthe authorities, had obtained until 1884, when the rule was modified so as to make it conform to the general parliamentary law, and that under the change made, a question of order might be raised at any stage of a proceeding and any appeal taken on any subsequent question of order should be decided without debate. It was perfectly clear, he argued, that the rule which ate prevented debate on an appe Where the question itself was not debatable was abrogated. Addressing himself specially to the Vice President, Mr. Gorman said that no Vice President had ever taken or ever could afford to take any advantage, or make any | arbitrary ruling in the Senate. From the first vice-president until now no man whom the people had honored by an election tothe office hadever attempted to do it and, in his opinion, no one ever would. Mr. Edmunds contended that the decision of the chair on the occasion referred to was absolutely correct in point of pariia- mentary law. If the rule was as Mr. Gorman claimed, the Senate might be kept in session indefinitely. The discussion was continued until 12:30 when the consideration of morning business was proceeded with. . Several bills were introduced and referred, and at 1 o’clock the elections bill was taken up. Mr. Goerge addressed the Senate in opposi- tion to the measure. A QUORUM. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—Senator Blair wasinhis seat when the Senate met this morning and the greetings that were ex- tended to him by his Republican col- leagues were more than or- dinarly hearty, for the. reason that his return to the city from New Hampshire was necessary to make up the long expected Republican quorum. The Republicans now have forty-five Senators in Washington, assuming that none have left the city since Saturday, which is just a quorum. In addition, Senator Farwell is expected to reach Washing- ton to-day, and it is said that Senator Chandler will also be present within ashorttime. The fate of the closure res- olution, and of the election bill itself, according to the managers of the bill, is involved in the attendance of these Senators, who may have to make good a possible defection of at least two Republican Senators who have openly opposed the bill in most of its phases. MR. NIEDRINGHAUS’ TIN EXHIBIT. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 19.—Congressman Niedringhaus’ exhibit of home-made tin plate inthe room of the Committee on Ways and Means is attracting a good deal of atten- tion. He says that his St. Louis steel mills are turning out 300 cases of tin plate a day, and the price of the article is only about as much as the imported article under the pres ent tariff. The raw material comes from the Dutch Islands. The Oontest in Kansas. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 19.—The resignation of Frank McGrath, President of the Kansas State Alliance, will be requestéd eitheron Tuesday or Wednesday by the Executive Council of that body. President McGrath was requested to bring before the committee an affidavit from Congressman Turner, Senator Berry and Congressman Perkins exonerating him from any collusion with Republican leaders. These the President either has not attempted to se- cure or has been unable to do so. A detective was then employed to investigate his record for the last three months, and it was his re- port to the committee which has resulted in the Alliance President’s temporary disgrace. He is charged with having had frequent con- sultations with Republican leaders and hav- ing made expenditures from Alliance funds which were notin the line of his duties as President. M’GRATH WILL FIGHT. KANSAS Crrr, Mo., Jan. 19.—A special to the Star from Topeka says: The war which was be gun on Frank McGrath, president of the Farmers’ Alliance, as soon as the Turner let - ter had been published has broken out anew, and the internecine strife threatens to play havoc with all caucus agreements.

New Yorn, Jan. 19.—The dealings in the stock market this morning were marked by considerable strength and activity in spots while the general list was dull and uninter- teresting. A great feature of the opening was the drop of 4% per cent in New England from 41% to 87, owing to the contradiction of many ofthe rumors so widely circulated of late andthe disclosure of the contract jobbing frauds. The stock was the most active in the market and fell away 1 per cent, further to 86 in the early dealings, but there was a reaction, which carried the price to 88%, af which point it became dull. The drop affected the rest of the market to the extent of making trregular changes from Saturday’s final figures at the opening, but could not ar- rest the improved feeling which became 80 prominent a featnre of the market on Satur - day, and prices all along the line advanced from the opening sales, except in a few cases, where slight concessions were made. From the lowest figures so established, however, Northern \Pacific pref erred rose 14 to 1%, the common i to 23%; Chicago Gas, 1% to 4%; St. Paul, 1 to 55%, and other fractional amounts. ‘These figures were too high to be fully main- tained, however, und after a partial reaction, the market atll o’clock was comparatively quiet at fractional advances over the open- ing prices. Owing to the reports of trouble in the Argentine Republic, the securities of the country have to-day fallen i% per cent on the Stock Exchange in London. There are rumors that some influential firms have be- come involved through the drop in prices. Money Is easy at gat per cent. In the stock market after 11 o’clock the ac- tivity was confined to about a half-dozen stocks and the movements in prices to small fractions throughout the list. Lacled@ Gas was the only one showing any life and on an increased business it rose 4 per cent to Wk. St. Paul, Chicago Gas and Northern Pacific preferred were the leaders in the general list, but in neither was there any feature. The market was dull and steady, generally at something better than the opening prices. American Stocks in London Low, and Prices Generally Drop. By Private Wire to Gaviord, Blessing & Co.

The London market was disappointing this morning and had the effect of causing lower prices on our Stock Exchange at the opening, but the mar- ket rallied before the demand from local sources was filled. The break of 6 per cent in New England occasioned the publication yesterday of denials of the recent stories of consolidation schemes. The failure of the American National Bank of Kansas City and later of the Savings Bank there has depressed the market in the last hour, and stocks are now at about lowest prices and weak.

T., Jan. 9.— The Evening News’ Albany special says: Politicians from all over the State began gathering here last night, and to-day the hotel corridors were thronged with them. The situation is much mixed, but it is gen- erally admitted that Gov. Hill holds the key. The publication of Mr. Sheehan’s statement that the Governor would accept the Senatorial nomination created something of a sensation and almost every- body here considered the question settled. But it isnot. Your correspondent called at the executive mansion last evening and put the question to the Governor. When I have anything to say About this Senatorial matter,’’ said Gov. Hill, ‘‘I will say it myself. He added that he had authorized nobody to accept or decline this or any office for him. Mr. Hill was asked about the status of Assem- blyman Demarest of Nyack. Mr. Demarest seems to have his private troubles, said Gov. Hill, and 1 have made no inquiry into them. I suppose he will rep- resent his district when the Assembly re- convenes.’’ Itis said that Mr. Demarest has been ad- vised by several State officials that he can hold his seat as long as he is not declared guilty by a court. Court Notes. The case of the St. Louis Bridge & Terminal Rallway Co. vs. Bonsack et al. is on trial be- fore Judge Klein this afternoon. The jury das been sworn in and some evidence will be taken this afternoon. This is to force a settlement in relation to condemnation of certain property on Poplar street, between Main street and Broadway. The case is before a special jury, and from the many legal intricacies the prospects are that it will last the better part of the week. The suit for $5,000 damages of Charles Na- gent against ©. A.

Considerable Excitement Caused Among the Scholars, but the Coolness of the Teachers Prevented a Panic—The Build- ing Entirely Consumed. There wasa wild scene at the Shaw School this morning about 10 o’clock. A fire broke out in the building, which con- tained 200 pupils at the time, and only the forethought and caution of the teach- ers who remained remarkably cool through - out the trying ordeal prevented a com plete panic and great loss of life, The building is a two-story brick and is located on King’s high- way and Old Manchester road. Mrs. Mary W. Naurie is the principal and she has five lady teachers under herin charge of eigh rooms. The building is heated by hot air, andthis morning at the hour mentioned, in some way the furnace in the cellar ignited the joists, and when the flames were discovered the fire had already made considerable head - way. THE CHILDREN BECAME EXCITED. The children became greatly excited when they distovered that the building was burn- ing and for a time it seemed impos- sible to prevent a panic. With great presence of mind, however, Mrs. Naurie and her assistants allayed the fears of their charges and got them out of the building quickly, but in good order, without any of them being burned or in any way hurt or injured. Had the flames made any further progress before their discovery it would have been impossible to have prevented a panic among the children, and one would certainly have resulted ina great many of them being maimed and hurt, and no doubt several would also have been killed, A BOY GAVE THE ALARM. The janitor, John Grogan; went into the yard about 9:30 o’clock to do some work and was returning to the basement to look after the fires in the furnace when he observed the smoke. He gave the alarm, and immediately the work of getting the children out began. Clarence Hutchins, a pupil in Miss Cur- tis“ room, two floors above the furnaces, called the teacher’s attention to the fact that the building was on fire. “He smelled smoke, he said. The teacher sad it was only smoke fromthe furnace and not only reprimanded the boy for alarming his school fellows, but started to get a rattan with which to impress on him the enormity of i his offense. At that moment the alarm was given and in the ex- citement attending the removal of the chu - dren from the building Clarence escaped the whipping. Miss Curtis was so much occupied with the children that she forgot her satchel in leaving the building. A fireman saved it for her after the fire had reached the desk on which it was lying. She was very grateful, as the bag con- tained a considerable sum of money. Grogan could give no explanation of the cause of the fire except that it came from the furnace. The furnace was put in two years ago and was a Fuller & Warren. The building was erected in 1870 and was rebuilt after a fire in 1876. The loss occasioned by to-day’s fire is about $3,000 on building and school fur- niture. Grogan loses about $100 worth of fur- niture. A re company from Engine - house No. 29, — 1220 Manchester road, entinguished the e. JOE TANDY JAILED. A Negro Arrested Charged With Break- ing Into a Residence. Joe Tandy, a negro who is already charged with three felonies, was arrested by Detectives Badger and Flynn at noon to-day on a fourth charge. He was taken into custody at the Liggett & Meyers Tobacco Co.’s warehouse on Nineteenth and Pine streets, where he was employed. Tandy is a son of Deputy Marshal Charlton H. Tandy, the well-known colored politician, and it will be remembered that he was one of the two men who was with Geo. Oruse when the latter shot and kill Henry Dozier. Oruse has been indicted for murder in the first degree, but Tandy and the third party were not held, al- though arrested at the time. Burglary and larceny is the charge on which Tandy was arrested to-day. He is accused of breaking into the residence of J. L. D. Rodgers, 8585 Chestnut street, last November and stealinga vaulable violin, a mandolin and an overcoat, all estimated to be worth about $150. Some of the property has been recovered by Badger and Flynn. They located it in a pawnshop and a colored man @ailed with a ticket this morning to redeem. the man- dolin. The officers arrested him and he stated that he got the ticket ‘from Tandy. Tandy was taken into custody. He denied having given the man the ticket and claimed that the fel- low got it from Nathan Thompson, another negro who is now in jail ona eharge Thompson, who is a pal of denied having ever had pawn-ticket and said that time he saw it the ticket was in Tandy's possession. The officers are convinced that Tandy is the man who committed the burglary and will take out a warrant against him this afternoon. The negro who presented the ticket will not be held as they are convinced that he is inno- foot-scraper and. which caused his death a few hours later.

On the ist of March the twenty - third an- nual convention of the National American m Suffrage Association will be held at Albaugh’s Opera-house, Washington, D. OC. The convention will be pro- ceded by the meeting of the National Council of Women, which will convene on Feb. %. The headquarters of the delegates will be established at the Riggs House, anda large attendance is expected. The’officers of the association are: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, President. Susan B. Anthony, Vice President at Large, Lucy Stone, Chairman Executive Com mittee. Alice Stone Blackwell, corresponding Sec- retary. Rachel Foster Avery, Recording Secretary. Jane H. Spofford, Treasurer. TWO FAVORABLE REPORTS. In the call forthe convention the national officers state that for the fifth time the United States Senate Committee on Woman Suffrage and for Wthe first time in our history the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. have brought in majority reports in favor of amending the Federal Constitution so as to probibit the States from disfranchising citi- gens because of sex, thus placing this ques- tion fairly before the American nation. The educational influence. ofthe discussion on woman suffrage in both houses of Congress can hardly be estimated. WYOMING AND MISSISSIPPI. The admission of Wyoming into the Union as a State, with equal rights for women guar- anteed in its organic law, not only set its sov- ereign seal of approval upon woman suffrage after practical experience for twenty-one years, but makes women a recognized factor in national politics. Hereafter the Chief Ex- ecutive and the members of both houses of Congress will owe their election partly to the votes of women. The able advocacy of the proposition to em- body a qualified suffrage for women in the Constitution of Mississippi gives us rea- sonto believe that statesmen are looking upon woman suffrage with an educational qualification as the safest and surest remedy for evils arising from the illiterate vote; ana that it will continue to receive their earnest consideration. THE VOTE IN DAKOTA. Notwithstanding that woman suffrage fatled to receive a majority ot all the votes cast at the recent election in South Dakota, many local, personal and partisan interests claim- ing the first attention of the voters, we real- ize the great educational value of the cam- paign, and rejoice that the leaders in that State are not disheartened, but are deter- mined to continue their efforts to secure a speedy reversal of the decision. ONE MAN’S METHOD OF ECONOMY. He Says Carrying a Cane Saves Him Much Money Yearly. From the New York Herald. **So you think it funny that I carry a cane down town with meevery day whenI go to business, do you?’’ saida young lawyer the other day to a friend who had made an ad- verse criticism on the subject, claiming that clients might be prejudiced against a lawyer who habitually carried a cane, for fear that he might not be of a sufficiently serious or studious turn of mind, as there was some- thing about a stick that indicated the strip- ling or the dude. Some may ca a cane because they think it is the proper thing, continued the lackstone, ‘‘butI am in- practice purely by motives of uated from college five years ago, and I haven’t carried a sti since my freshman year.

LOUIS BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET. Distinguished Residents of Dlinois and Missouri Who Will Be Invited—Cor- poration Officers Elected — Religious News—Belleville Items. The programme for the Board of Trade ban- quet which will take place in East St. Louis next Wednesday evening was promulgated to-day by the committees having charge of the arrangements. Addresses by four promi- nent men of Missouri and Illinois are among the features. Gov. David R. Francis, Gov. Joseph Fifer, Mayor Edward A. Noonan and Col. Robt. 8. McDonald will be the speakers. Invitations to attend the ban- quet have been extended to the members of the st. Louis Merchants’ Exchange and the National Live Stock Exchange. The Missourians who attend will cross the river together Wednesday evening, and will be met at the East St.- Louis approach of the bridge by the Board of Trade Reception Committee. From the bridge they will be escorted to the City Hall, where the speakers will hold forth. At the conclusion of the ad- dresses the assemblages will adjourn to Boughan’s Hall, on South Main street, where the banquet proper will take place. The East St. Louis Cornet Band will enliven the oc- casion with music. The stockholders of the East St.Louis Brew- ery Co. held a meeting to-day at the office of Messick and Rhodes for the purpose of electing officers. Otto C. Schott was chosen President, Louis Suppiger, Secretary, and M. J. Schott, Treas- urer, The officers also constitute the Board of Directors. This company is the one which proposes to build a new brewery in the northern part of East St. Louis. Miss Valerie Jeunet of Franklin, Pa., who has been for some time past the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Justin Ducray of this city, left to- day for Chicago, where she will visit friends before returning home. The Baptist congregation did not electa pastor yesterday, but decided to leave the matter tothe trustees, who will meet to- night for the purpose of making a selection. It is said that Rev. Ray of Alton, Principal of Shurtief College, will be the man. The remains of the late Mrs. Lisette Oebike, wife of Henry Oebike, who died on Saturday, were interred to-day at St.Henry’s Cemetery. Religiogs services were performed at St. Henry’s Catholic Church. The funeral, was largely attended. Mrs. Louise Lovingston and Mrs. Charlies Belden have gone to Joplin, Mo., the former on a visit and the latter to reside. Mrs. M. Klug, whose deceased husband was a soldier in the civil war, has been awarded a pension of $12 per month and received $2,000 back pay. Miss Emma Meints, who has been visit in her parents in East St. Louis, returned to- day to Godfrey, III., where she attends the Monticello Seminary. Baptiste Leezy celebrated his sist birthday by entertaining a party of friends at his home on Ninth street last night. W. J. Broderick, President of the Stock Ex- change, returned torday from a trip to Springfeld. a Belleville. The regular semi-monthly meeting of the City Council will be held this evening. It will probably be a most interesting session on account of the troublesome water question, which is expected to be taken up again and perhaps disposed of. As the situation is at present, there can hardly be but one solution of the question. That is, the Council can only have recourse to a repudiation of its late action ann the City Water Co.’s franchise and to be void their contract to furnish the city with water for fire purposes, Negotiations with the Rutz Co. appear to be broken off alto- gether, and as the city must have water, there seems to be but one course to e, which ig to obtain the supply from the City Water Co., this concern now being in a con- dition to furnish it as was done before the famine set in. The early morning southbound mail train on the Cairo Short Line Railroad collided with a freight near the Belleville Depot to-day. Several freight cars were badly damaged and the locomotive of the train slightly so. None of the trainmen were injured.

Max O. Starkloff of Carondelet this morning received from Germany the anx- fouslyawaited supply of the Koch curative lymph, obtained from the German Govern- ment through th of his father, Dr. Hugo M. Starkloff, American Consul at Bremen. The younger physician had been notified some weeks ago that the lymph would be secured if possi- ble and forwarded direct to bim in St. Louis, and since that time has been most impatiently awaiting the receipt of further ddvices from his father as to the shipment of the rare and precious discovery just now the focal point of the interest of an entire world. A cable from his father about ten days ago conveyed the welcome information that the lymph had deen duly _ mailed per steamship Lahn of the North Ger- man Lloyd Line. The Lahn safled from Bre- men on Jan. 6and arrived at New York last Thursday night. She was boarded by a representative of the United States Express Co., acting under instructions from the St. Louis agent of the company, who endeavored to secure possession of the Koch lymph package consigned to Dr. M. C. Starklof. But the package had to take its course through the United States mail under the frank of the Bremen consulate, and this morning, as stated, it was duly delivered to Dr. Starkloff at his office, 7620 South Broadway. — HOW THE LYMPH CAME. Dr. Starkloff was visited by a Posr- Dis- PATCH reporter immediately afterwards, and had just opened the package and had the little phial of pure lymph on the table before him. It had come as carefully packed as though it were a veritable elixir of life: The outside package was a nttle wooden box, upon which was the seal of the United States Consulate at Bremen. Then came a lot of cotton carefully placed around the contents of the box. Removing the cotton, there was féund a ‘queer-looking bag of ofled silk, and opening that bag the phial of lymph came to view. It was thor- oughly wrapped in white paper sealed with the stamp of the Imperial German Govern- ment, and bearing only the inscription, Von Starkloff, U. 8. Consulate, Berlin.“ A printed circular containing, in German, the official instructions as to the use and final preparation of the lymph, signed by Dr. A. Libbertz,, the German Government chemist ‘Superintending the manufacture of the Koch curative lymph, accompanied the package. This important official document will be found in full in the present article. APPEARANCE OF THE LIQUID. The lymph itself was contained in a small ounce phial, hermetically sealed, and bear- ing no inscription. The quantity in the phial is exactly three drachms. In color it is a rich brown, with a peculiar golden tinge noticeable init. In consistency, 2 coserved from holding up the phial, which not quite filed with the IIquid. tna allowing it to run slowly along the interior, it is about the same as glycerine and moves sluggishly. The will remain sealed as it Berlin Laboratory until the time comes for the final preparation of a portion of the lymph for the first experi- ment to be madein st. Louis. This experi- mene will be made at the Missouri Pacific Hospital, under the direction of Drs. M. C. Starklof and W. B. Outten, the latter being the hospital physician-in- chief. The patients to be experimented upon have not yet been selected, and the two phy- sicians will hold a consultation this afternoon to determine that point. THE KOCH SYRINGE. Accompanying the Koch lymph came also the syringe to be used in making the inocu- lation by hyperdermic injection. This is contained in a small, plain case, and is about two inches in length. It has a glass cylinder, graded, with a silver Above the stop-cock is a rubber belt one-half an inch in diameter with a minute hole in the top. Two needles were also in the case with the syringe proper. They are exactly similar to those used in all hypoder- mic injections in this country—one large and one small—varying from about one inch to half an inch in length. The official instruc- tions for the use of the syringe were also for- warded. ITS PREPARATION AND USE. Dr. Starklof® gives a free translation @f the above paper as follows, in condensed form: USE OF THE REMEDY. The pure preparation willkeep for a long time, but the dilution is apt to make it be- come flacculent and dull, when it becomes worthless. To save the diluted preparation it should be boiled each time before using. One-half per cent solution of carbolic acid in the proportion of one cubic centimeter of distilled water to one cubic centimeter of the remedy is the proper dilution. It is necessary to use antiseptic precaution in handling the lymph, The preparation is of more value when used with the Koch syringe. The cylinder should be cleaned with absolute alcohol before each in- jection. The most important feature to watch during the experiments are the temperature and condition of the patyent. It is best to make the injections during the morning hours, so that this can be done. The first in- jection in consumption cases shoula be .001 or .002 cubiccentimeters. The dose may be increased should the temperature remain normal, the injections to be continued until the symptoms of disease have vanished. In cases of lupus, tuberculous affections, “ones, joints and glands, larger doses can be ven. No preparation genuine was to be aranteed unless it comes from Dr. A. Lib- z, Berlin, Northwest, Limeburger strasse. he first experiment will be made this week the Missouri Pacific Hospital, and will ~ doubdtless be watched with the most profound interest by the medical fraternity and the public, Don’t forget that Morris’ dairy lunch and restaurant, 1008 Olive street, opens to-mor- row, Tuesday, at noon.

JEFFERSON Crrr, Mo., Jan. 19.—Kansas Oity received a hard blow in the Supreme Court to-day and one that will create almost end- less confusion and litigation in the city of the Kaw. The court, in a long opinion prepared by Judge Black, held that the extension of the limits of Kansas City nearly a year ago was an illegal act and not in conformity with the constitution. In other words the court holds that Kansas City had no right to ex- tend the limits ofthe city in the manner it did. The extension was made last March by taking in over twenty additional square miles and about fifteen or 20,000 population. The little town of West- port was includcd in the extension,and it was a property-owner of this place who fought the extension into the Supreme Court. His point was that Westport had a charter of its own, and could not, unless an enabling act was passed,be gathered in as part of Kansas City. with the work of increasing the city's size and population despite the objections raised against the plan. The city election in Kansas City last spring was held under the new order of things, the voters in the new limits: having a voice in the election. of that city’s officers. The additional terri- tory was divided in four city wards, and these have been represented for some eight months in the Municipal Assembly of Kansas City and important measures have been passed through the votes of the members from the new territory, and the question now rises are not these acts invalid? The opinion is ex- pressed by Kansas City people here that the decision invalidates the entire city election held since the city limits were extended. at which the city officers and councilmen now holding office were elected. The census was taken also under the impression that the ad- ditional territory and population were part of Kansas City. The four new wards created by the extension have a population of fifteen or twenty thousand, and, according to Judge Black's decision, Superintendent Porter’s figures credit Kansas City with a number more than it is entitled toaga city. THE LABOR ‘WORLD. Molders to Go on a Strike—Ohicago Street Railway Troubles. OTTuMWA, Io., Jan. 19.—Molders in the great Johnson Ruffler works here, the largest manu- factory of sewing machine appliancesin the world, have decided to goona strike against the ordered enforcement of the plece-work rule of the works. The men are backed by the National Association, the General Secretary of which has been here for a week trying to settle the matter by arbitration. Chicago Street Railway Troubles. Cuicaeco, Ill., Jan. 17.—There is trouble ahead for the Chicago City Railway, and itis not improbable that a general strike will take place before long. As matters now stand there is general disgatisfaction among the employes on account of the retirement of O. B. Holmes and the appointment of C. J. Luck. Luck was formerly track foreman and employed cheap Italian labor, and it is feared among the men that he will advocate the policy of cutting down wages all around. It is said that some time ago he made the re- mark that if he had charge of the men he would cut their wages to 81.50 a day. What- ever cause there may be for it, there is cer- tainly great dissatisfaction among the 2,000 employes of the South Side Co. Whether this dissatisfaction is general enough to result in a strike will be determined in the next twenty-four hours. A number of the men seem to be in favor of striking at once. The St. Paul Strike. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 19.—Two stations on the Council Bluffs division of the O., M. & St. P. Ry., in Iowa, have been closed be- cause the town people boycotted the new agents employed fm the places of strikers. Supt. Collins says that the new men were un- able to get meals or lodging in either place; that the citizens did their best to make life a burden to them. He says this method of re- taliation will be employed in every instance where boycotting tactics are resorted to, as the company can better afford to close some of the stations affected by the strike than to keep them open. Sympathy for Strikers. OMAHA., Neb., Jan. 19.—The Union Pacific telegraph operators have passed resolutions sympathizing with the striking operators on the St. Paul road and declaring a boycott against the latter road.

United States Bank Examiner Marshall Takes Charge of the Ooncern—Cause of the Failure—Run on a Savings Bank -The Westinghouse Co. KANSAS OCiTY, Mo., Jan. 19.—The American National Bank of this city was taken charge of this morning by F. E. Marshal, National Bank Examiner for the State of Missouri. The capital stock of the bank is $1,250,000. No statement of the liabilities and assets can be obtained. To a reporter Examiner Marshall said this morning: There is absolutely nothing to say except that the bank isin my charge.’’ During the early part of last week it be- came known to the members of the Kansas City Olearing House Agsociation that the | American National Bank was in need of assistance, A meeting of the association was called, at which a resolution was adopted, assuring the American National Bank that upon a proper showing assistance would be rendered to the amount of $1,000,000 or more. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Witten McDonald, President of the Midland National Bank; Dr. W. 8. Woods, President of the Na- tional Bank of Commerce, and F. P. Neal, Vice-President ofthe Union National Bank, was appointed to be in readiness to act for the association. Friday evening Mr. H. P. Stimpson, President of the American Na- tional Bank, requested a conference with this committee. The conference re- sulted in a recommendation that the association render the American National Bank assistance. At a meeting of the Clearing-house Association Saturday evening the committee was instructed to examine the security of- fered by the American National Bank and as- certain the amount of money needed. Yes- terday the committee, calling to its assistance National Bank Examiner Marshall, examined the collaterals offered as security for $1,000,- 000 or more which the association agreed to loan. The committee re- ported at a meeting of the association last night that the collaterals offered by the American National Bank were not such as the banks of the association would accept. This decision of the association made the failure of the bank inevitable and the Na- tional Bank Examiner thereupon assumed charge of its affairs. CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—Mr. Lacey, Comptroller of the Currency, received a tele- gram this morning from Bank Examiner Marshall announcing the suspension ofthe American National Bank of Kansas Oity, Mo. He said thathe received word from the ex- aminer that there had beena very heavy run onthe bank and thatthe situation looked serious. He added, however, that he did not thing the bank liabilities exceeded $1,000,000, which is $250,000 lessthan its capital stock. In reply the Comptroller instructed him to take charge of the bank in case the run con- tinued this morning, and judging from the fact that the examiner had taken charge he supposed it had. The Comptroller said that while he had no definite information on the subject he supposed the bank was suffering from its efforts to assist its correspondents in Kansas, four of which had failed during the recent stringency. THE BANK’S DEBTS. The deposits of the American National Bank are about $1,200,000. Since October last the deposits have decreased from over $4,- 000,000 to the present amount. It is ascer- tained that the bank owes over $800,000 bor- rowed money. A gentleman who is in a posi- tion to know the condition of the other national banks of this city said this morning they are in an unusually good condition, and would not be materially affected by the failure. RUN ON A SAVINGS BANK. As a result of the failure of the American Meationai Bank this morning a great deal of uneasiness has beencreated among the de- positors of the Kansas City Safe & Savings Deposit Bank, which is in the same building as the, American Bank, and is Supposed by many to be connected with it, and at 11 o' clock there a tremendous run on that bank. The sidewalk was blocked and the doors of the bank were crowded with de- positors anxious to recover their hard earned savings. The bank is paying all depositors promptly and the officials claim that they can meet all obligations. The bank isin no way connected with the American National. Itis the largest savings bank inthe State and its officers arethe most carefuland conserva- tive business men of the city. ATTACHMENTS AGAINST WESTINGHOUSE. NEW YorK, Jan. 19.—Robert Duttle of this city has obtained an attachment of the Su- preme Court against the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. of Pennsylvania for the sum of $1,899, money alleged to be due for work performed. WILL PAY UP. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 19.—Regarding the charges against the Big Ox Mining Co. of Montana, Mr. Emerson, president of the company, says: ‘‘Owing to the state of the money market it has been impossible to raise money to pay the men. Telegrams received by me to-day from Secretary and Treasurer Dodge of Boston say he has arranged every thing, secured the money and started for Helena. The company will be on a good financial basis hereafter. Charges that we are doing other than a legitimate mining business are untrue.’’ A MINING COMPANY ATTACHED. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 19.—Attachments ag- gregating $8,000 have been filedin the dis- trict Court againstthe Big Ox Mining Co. About $3,000 of the amount is due the miners for wages while the balance is claimed in the shape of loans by officers of the company. The president of the company is C. Emerson of Minneapolis, the rest of the officers being Montana men. The ¢apital stock of the com- pany is $1,000,000, half of which has been sold to Eastern parties. The Helena papers charge that the company has not been doing a legitimate mining business. Society Notes.

M. Pal- mer’s traveling company, drew a large audi- ence to the Grand Opera-house last evening. The performance ot Aunt Jack’’ occa- sions wonder that a play constructed with so much ingenuity can contain so little genuine human nature and inherent humor, an t a company with so much talent and c intelligence can commit so many offenses against thé canons of art and taste. Overdone is the term which suggests itself as covering the principal faults, most readily of both play and ce. The piece is fashioned after the manner of the old English roaring farce, and is played inthe way of its American substitute, the musical farce. The faults of both are to be noted in the produc- tion. It is a play of complication and inci- dent, and while the plot is ingenious it is so elaborately ingenious as to be thoroughly artificial. The story has been recounted. Aunt Jack, an eccentric spinster, sues Col. Tavernor for breach of promise, be- cause he had broken an ~,engage- ment of marriage really on account of a suspicion that her income is not as big as he thought it, but ostensibly because she insists upon singing a comic song at a charity enter- tainment. Aunt Jack and 8. Berkley Brue, the attorney of Col. Tavernor, fall in love, while Aunt Jack’s nephew, Caleb Cornish, who is also her attorney in the case, is secretly married to Mildred Doyle, Tavernor’ s niece, None of the people knew the relationships existing between the others, and hence the opportunities for ämüsing complications, granting the premises, are apparent. Of course it is practically impossible to grant the premises, so that the farce becomes at once a mass ofwhimsicalities, some of which run to imbecility. On the other hand, the personages are cari- catures rather than real characters, and their eccentricity at times resembles insanity, so that there are periods in the performance of the piece when there is cause for grave uncertainty whether Mr. Palmer is exploiting a farcical production or is running a lunatic asylum. The impres- sion of unnaturalness is strengthened by the performance whichin parts is exceedingly rough and acrobatic. The comedy is of the cyclonic kind, in which physical agility and endurance play a large part. It isa case of horse play from start tofinish. This 18 particularly noticeable in the part of Joseph Haworth, whose conversion to the muscular drama is complete. Mr. Haworth apparently deserts art altogether for agility and succeeds in furnishing the part of a bachelor attorney with many of the amusing attributes ofa monkey. He invests it with the breeziness ofa tornado. Perhaps this may be necessary to make the part go, but it is a pity that an actor of Mr. Haworth’s talents and intelli- gence should be compelled to neglect the qualities so conspicuously, Miss Pfal- liott Paget is both brightand attractive and displayed clever qualities as Aunt Jack, but the fault of over-doing was manifest also in her work. A. A. Eberle made a fairly clever caricature of Col. Tavernor, Lewis Baker drew an amusing picture of the brain- less British Lord and Chas. W. Butler gave a clever representation of Mr. Juffin as a country solicitor. Chas. Bowser burlesqued the part of Justice Mundle cleverly and Geo. Backus as Caleb Cornish, Bertha Creighton as Mildred, Alice Butler as Mrs. Van Streek were fair, as were the others in the cast. The last act of the piece was a thorough burlesque of a court scene, in which the comic song sung by Aunt Jack in the witness- box is taken up by Judge, counsel and jury. One is not inclined to wonder: that Col. Tav- ernor broke his engagement after hearing Miss Paget sing the song, but the song and chorus in court add an unusual and diverting incident to farce-comedy. Despite its faults there were many comicalities in the per- formance and the audience indulged in hearty laughter, In sharp contrast with ‘‘Aunt Jack’’ was the one-act play by Mr. Thomas, ‘‘A Man of the World,’’ which preceded it. It is a touch- ing story of the saving of a wife from a fatal mistake and rehewing of love between a young couple in danger of separation through neglect and folly, by an old friend, who has been through the mill.“ It is to be re- gretted that Mr. Thomas has not treated his theme with a little more delicacy and sugges- tion, and that he has made so much of a prig of Capt. Bradley, but the play is cleverly written and touches genuine chords of emotion. Mr. Ha- worth handled the part of Capt. Bradley with skill and feeling. Miss Creighton was pleasing and effective as Mrs. Willard, but the best that can be said for Messrs. Fenton and Kingsbury isthat they were not positive failures. POPE’S—GEORGE THATCHER’S MINSTRELS, George Thatcher’s Minstrels at Pope’s yes- terday kept the house full of melody and laughter through two performances, and made a big hit in popular favor. They are a strong organization, and with a pro- gramme which departs somewhat from minstrelsy traditions in order to inject a certain novelty into the performance. Thatcher and his fellow burnt corkonians well deserve the success they are meeting with on their travels. The first part, introduc- ing the company, is gorgeous in spectacular arrangement and with the vocal features bringing out Messrs. Jose, Moore, Lewis and Frillman jn quartette and solo work,is ap- propriately tuneful. Tom Le Mack’s singing of ‘‘The World’s Fair’’ brought down the house as a funny patter song, while R. J. Jose’s solo, The Lone Grave, touched every heart with its tenderness and caused an enthusiastic recall. George Thatcher and Burt Shepard’s introduction on the ends was the signal for the fun element to reach its height, and their duet, They're After Me,’’ split the house up the back. The first act closed with ‘‘Sticks from the Wood- box of Memory, which worked up a gust of merriment that sent the curtain downon an unqualified tri- umph. In the second part Gregory and Elmar gave an excellent triple bar per- formance, George Thatcher, Frank La Mon- due and Wood and Shepard appeared in black-face specialty acts, and the perform- ance closed witha grand musical absurdity called the Fete of the Gondoliers,’’ which combined fun, 1 ceful dancing and pretty costuming in a Udering mixture. Regu- lar Wednesday and Saturday matinees. HAVLIN’S—‘ ‘LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.’’ At Havlin's Charles Gayler’s ‘‘Lights and Shadows’’ opened to large houses. The play is a strong one, telling a story that is full of interest and rich in effective situations. The scenery is strikingly realistic, the company well selected, and the performance grows steadily in fa- vor until the curtain falls upon its assured success as a Pee of metropol- itan life dramatically p nted. Miss Nannie Palmer as the heroine, Mabel Bland, or, rightly, Tann Broughton, does excellent work and carries the sympathy of the house throughout, Susie Willis as Mme, Girard is good, Beatrice Tait as Kate Stanhope pre- sents the society flirt in amusing colors and Hattie Sheldon as Mrs. Bleeker, the matri- monial widow, is amusing. W. O. Holden gives a strong impersonation of the character of Mark Milton, and F. H. Dillon ot that of Rufus Muburn, whtle D. Hanchett’s work as Judge B ton was unusually good. John Derry was as Archie Bleeker, and the rest of the cast was well taken.

LEGISLATION ASKED PROVIDING FOR THE | PENSIONING OF DISABLED FIREMEN, Chief Lindsay and the Executive dom mittee of the State Association Urging | the Adoption of a Oonstitutional Amendment—Legislative Matters. JEFFERSON Crrr, Mo., Jan. 19.—Both houses of the Assembly met at 32 o’clock this afternoon. The House spent the first hour wrangling over the question of allowing each standing commit- tee a clerk. In the Senate the appointment of a Récorder of Voters for St. Louis was ex- pected, Wut did not materialize yp to a late hour. PENSIONS FOR FIREMEN. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. Jan: 19.—The Ex- ecutive Committee of the Missouri State Firemen’s Association is here to-day in the. interest of a movement to have the State Constitution so amended asto permit the various citiesin the State where there are organized fire departments to pension disabled firemen andtheir widows and de- pendent minor children. To bring about a system of pensioning firemen and their de- pendents, it is necessary toamend the con- stitution, and to this end the Executive Committee of the State Association has gath- ered here to-day to give the matter some impetus. To secure a constitutional amendment the assembly must first adopt. a concurrent resolution and the matter will then be submitted to the voters of the State at the next general election which takes place in November, 1892. The resolution has been prepared by Chief John Lindsay of St. Louis, who is the President of the Association and also Chair- man of the Executive Committee. This will be presented shortly tothe Assembly for its consideration. Chief Lindsay is here and with him are Capts. Bridge and Walsh | of the St. Louis department. A number of other fire chiefs from various cities of the State are also on the ground urging the adoption of the concur- rent resolution. Atthe last meeting of the Association, held in St. Louis last May, it was decided to Rave the Executive Committee meet here during the sitting of the Legislature to urge the con- stitutional amendment mentioned. The Executive Committee is composed of President Lindsay, Chief Hale of Kansas City, Kane of St. Joseph, Metler of Carroll- ton, Thomas of Carthage, Powellof Lexing- ton, Ryan of Springfield, Asterloz of Cape Girardeau, and Secretary Mitchell, also of Springfield. The committee, with few ex- ceptions, is here in accordance with the ar- rangement made last May. CLERK HIRE IN THE HOUSE. There isa prospect of lively times in the House before the matter of clerk hire is finally settled. The Committee on Clerical Force reported before the committees were an- nounced that the number of committee clerks should be limited to sixteen: This report was adopted, though there was opposition to it from several quarters. There are forty-five committees and in previous sessions each has been allowed a clerk. Under the rule adopted only the leading committees, such as the Judiciary, Criminal Jurisprudence, Ways and Means and Internal Improvements, have been allowed a clerk. The other clerks appointed will have to serve two,three and in some instances five and six committees at the the uniform rate of $3.50 per day. This was a move in the interest of economy and there is much dissatisfaction expressed among the members because of its adoption. That one committee should have a clerk entirely to itself and four or five others should be compelled to divide the services of one, is what hits the members of the committees that are considered of lesser importance in a tender place. The Committee on Labor, for instance, holds that it has as much right to a clerk as the Judiciary ,and expressigns of dis- approval on the same line come from other committees. MEMBERS FEEL SORE. There is still much soreness among some of the members, growing out of Speaker Tut- tle’s committee appointments. It is now charged that H. Martin Williams and Dr. Graham of St. Joseph had entirely too much to say in the selection of the committees. It is also intimated that friends of the railroads, disguised as farmers, or friends of farmers, got in their fine work to some extent in the composition of the Railroad Committee, Turner of * Chariton ‘ 1 instance, who is one of the oldest members in point of service, was almost en- tirely ignored inthe appointments, He was on the railroad committee two years ago and established a reputation ag a pronounced anti-railroad member. He was a formidable opponent of Mr. Tuttle for the Speakership and only withdrew the day before the caucus. It was expected that he would get a good place on the committee, manship of the Committee on tions. He got neither, however, his friends are to believe that 8 — oot ta Sts work to sh out. depends on Congress as to whether it be necessary for this committee to meet 1 session or not.

It is now understood that the delay in making the transfer is to enable the Gov- ernor to come to some understanding as to the choosing of a Jury Commissioner to succeed CARLISLE. The presumption is that the Governor wants the Democratic be mollified, but that several of them re- fuse to he mollified until their names are placed on the Senate pay rolls in several aifferent places, — SENATOR INnGaLis — his hope of re- election upon the expectation of a row among the factions of the opposition ma- jority. This is a humiliating basis for a man who hasenjoyed the opportunities to serve his State which have been afforded, INGALIZ. But he has shown thet he is so anxious to stay in the Senate that he is willing to take an election upon any terms, no matter how humiliating they may be. Tun special correspondence from the Sioux Reservation in yesterday’s SUNDAY Post-DisPaToH threw more light on the Indian situation and on the causes and remedies of Indian dissatisfaction than has been let in upon the subject for a long time. It is the independent investigation by the keen and unprejudiced observer which must furnish material upon which to base reforms in the future. Tr is reported that Quay thinks he can City Committee to get control of the Re- transfer his coat of tar and feathers to his corder’s office without being deprived of a good strong pull on the Jury Commission- ership. Instead of putting party henchmen in both of those offices, the Governor, if they were both at his disposal, should fill them with men whose administration could not be impeached or suspected on the seore of subserviency to any political machine. As the law expressly detaches the Jury Com- missionership from the Governor’s mess of spoils and puts the appointment in the hands of Circuit Judges elected by both parties, we cannot,see what right he has to meddle with it, and above all the Circuit Judges should refuse to enter into any ar- rangement or understanding with ph in regard to it. It is the old story of ambition forever dis- satisfied with limited power, always med- dling, grasping, centralizing, and caring only for self-aggrandizement.

The evil of Federal interference with mat- ters prpperly belonging to the States has been carried to an extreme of absurdity in the matter of murder case appeals. The punishment of murder is a police function. Every State is competent to pro- vide for it and every State does in fact pro- vide for it. Not only is there no State which does not punish murder committed within its | jurisdiction, but there is none which is not alert to arrest and return murderers figeing from other States. Yet by a Federal statute of Mar@h 8, 1885, the right of appeal to the Supreme Court in murder cases was made unlimited in such ex- traordinary fashion that Judge Lacombe de- clares ft possible fora condemned murderer to secure as many as twenty-two successive appeals as of right under the law. party in power in Missouri would have a] In effect sucha law abolishes the punish- force billin operation as odious and in- iquitous as that which the Democrats are fighting at Washington. — . — — THE Dana-Weed conspiracy to steal the New York Senatorship for some plutocrat and McKinleyite disguised as a Democrat, has been knocked down and dragged out by the New York Womo. The New York offspring of the Post-DIsPATcH insisted that the Democratic Senator from New York should be a man above the degree of a henchman; must have a national reputa- tion as a statesman and debater, or the recognised ability to achieve such a reputa- tion, and must also have a record on the tariff and other questions showing that he was in heart And seul with the Democracy and not with the plutocrats and corpora- tons. The WORLD demanded that HILI. himself should accept the Senatorship and kept repeating |the demand till the Demo- crats at Albany told him plainly they would give it to him, but would not per- mit him to name any other man as his sub- stitute. The Dana-Weed game was to split and defeat the Democracy again on the tariff question under cover of a fight for HILL against CLEVELAND for President, but if Gov. HIL, was ever in it he is out of it now, and will be in EVART’s seat when EVART’s term ends.

And does anyone imagine that even 10,000 stump-speakers holding forth a few weeks before election can beat 10,000,000 women who have been getting in their work since last falland will keep it up everlastingly until the bill is reformed or repealed? Or that they can remove the impression made by hundreds of thousands of storekeepers and commercial travelers, who, regardless of party, are giv- ing the McKinley bill every day a black eye? ment of murder altogetherin every case in which the criminal can find the money with which to hire lawyers, and the fact has been impressively illustrated in Jugiro’s case.

But recently they have come tothe conclusion that someone is rep- resenting himself as Dr. Koch's nephew, A REVIEW OF THE USK OF LYMPH. Reviewing the work done with the lymph Dr. Simon Baruch of New York has written the following he — is a Umpid, dark brown fluid, the color of dark sherry, somewhat viscid, and is received in sealed packages of five grammes each. It is made and distributed according to an arrangement made and re- ferred to in Von Goagler’s speech by D. Lib- berts, the chemist, No. 2 Luenenberger strasse. It six weeks for its prepar- ation and cannot yet be made wholesale. Before delivery it is carefully tested on at least three tuberculous animals, and is re- jected if it does not produce the characteris- tic reactions. Koch has specially demanded that it should be widely yet judiciously dis- tributed to institutions in which the micro- scope, thermometer and other instruments of precision may control the tests, Especially has Koch insisted upon its not becoming a remedy for the rich, isso simply and clearly set forth by Koch that no further description is needed, It is simply qnuted in a small quantity of distilled or half per cent carbolized water, and in- jected, preferably, between the shoulder blades. From personal experience the writer may say that out of nearly two hundred in- jections which he has administered, varying from one to five milligrammes he has never seen a single abcess. This isdue tothe fact that it is done aseptically. The syringe and tube for measuring are kept in alcohol or ina five per cent solution carbolic acid. Before each injection the skin is washed with a solution of bichl. merc. in ether 1-1000 and the spot is covered with iodo form gauge secured by a plaster. The syringe devised by Koch is perfect. After a little practice one must admit its superiority overall others. It consists of four separate pieces; the ball and socket, the graduated glass barrel, the lower socket and the syringe point, all of which may be quickly put together. It has no pack- ing or piston. EFFECTS OF INJECTIONS, AS OBSERVED. That this ‘ymph hasan elective affinity for tuberculous tissue has been so Often demon- stratated that there can be no doubt about it. True, it has falled in some cases to develop it - self, even where tubertle bacilli were found in the system. But this may be accounted for by the incapsulation of the tuberculous tissue, and its being thus out of reach cf the remedy, as positive proofs of ics elective affinity for tuberculous tissue and its tendency to create a reactive process in its vicinity. The general reaction is manifested by a rise ot temperature, preceded sometimes by chi and accompanied by more or less malaise. The temperature may rise from one to five degrees and fall to normal. Occasional swelling of the spleen, noticed hy Senator and Jacobi, herpes labralis,and the remittent character of the fever, would lead to the con- clusion that the lymph contains mate which produces a septic condition of ephemeral character. REACTION NOT IN PROPORTION TO DISEASE. The impression made upon the writer in his numerous observationg is that the intensity of the reaction is not in proportion to thé ex- tent of disease, andthat each injection acts upon a portion of the lining tuberculous tis- sue, whose separation from the healthy sur- face intensifies the mild septic condition in- duced by the lymph. This is repeated as often as the proper dose is injected. The process being so gradual, if Kooh's first direc- tions are followed, the disturbance subsides and risea without serious depreciation of the genera] health, so that in the intermigsia the patiants express themselves as feeling pretty well. The rise of temperature is, however, not to ‘| be regarded as the sole evidence of reaction. In some cases of phthisis I found that general malaise, pain in the bones, sense of debility may occur without marked rise of tempera- ture. The pulse and respiration rate are more positively raised than the temperature. Rut the rise in the respiration rate ig the most uniformly marked of all symptoms in the phthisica] cases, amounting often to @ and 76 percent. This is a most convincing evidence of the pressure of the same local reaction in affected lung tissues, which are so plainiy demonstrable in the open surface of tubercu- lous lesions, and it may occur to a noticeable extent if there be no temperature rige. THE PROBABILITIES OF CURE. Whether tuberculosis will become a curable disease remains for clinical experience to prove. Time must be the arbiter. But while awaiting ita decisian we must not lose sight of what has already Tuberculosis is not @ local disease, else the lymph would seem to be almost a 1 = sent emissary, the bacillus, may secre itself in parts distant from its aD) nt at. tack, If the lymph were endow the BRIGHT RAYS OF HOPE ihe STILL SHINE UPON THE 3 or Country—Dr. Koch’s Relatives in This | ‘Probable have given him so much fame, has nearly as ee changed his * The law provides that cities of over 100,000 population shall be cities of the first class.

Secretary Phoebe Oousins of the World’s Fair Board of Lady Managers continues to protest against the smallness of her salary, $2,000.

Oasey and Caskens were driving along Harrison street in a buggy near the corner ot Clinton street. The Greeks refused to get out of the road of the horse, and a violent altercation ensued. The Greeks jumped into the buggy and attacked the young men with knives. Caskens and Casey drew their revolvers and fired right and left. The Greeks, however, succeeded in wresting away their reyolvers and jt began to look as ifthe young men would be killed outright, when the patrol wagon, loaded with police, dashed up. When the infuriated and drunken Greeks sdw the approach of the po- lice they rushed into a house on the corner barricaded the door. Caskens and Casey, each having over a dozen wounds, were picked tp by the police and sent to the hospital, while Lieut. Cos- grove prepared to storm the dwelling in which the Greeks had entrenched themselves. A heavy scantling was secured and amid the howls and yells of the Greeks the officers bat- tered down the door. A terrible hand to hand struggle then took place in the hall. It took just ten minutes, however, to clean out the “rowd, and when the melee was over eighteen weeks, stunned and bleeding. from the police ubs, were thrown into the patrol wagon and taken off to the station. Marked for Assassination. CHICAGO, III., Jan. 19.+T. M. Todd, a real estate dealer livingon Washington boulevard, thinks he is marked for assassination. Last night for the third time within two weeks a bullet was fired through his sitting-room window. It broke the plate glass into fraz- ments and narrowly missed the head of Mrs. Todd. Todd rushed to the window, but no one wastobe seen, Mr. Todd reported the affair tothe police. He said: The first shot was fired one evening about two weeks ago, knockinga big hole in the window. Isaid nothing about it, thinking it the work of boys. About a week ago another shot was fired through the window and I then began to look ut the matter seriously. I made no complaint, however, but now I cannot af- ford to pass the matter by any longer.’’ A Fatal Street: Duel. wa¥aso Sprines, A.

They met onthe street and as both men had guns in their hands the firfng was simultaneous. Boyle fell at the first shot. His brother Bill, who was near, opened fire upon Ketchereids.

At 8o’clock to-morrow afternoon the-Nar-. row-Gauge commuters and the persons inter - ested in the development of the St. Louis Cable & Western Railway will meet with the Railway Committee of the House of Dele- gates, toespousethe cause of the St. Louis & Suburban Railway Co., which is now for a franchise to change the ‘cable an locomotive power of the old Narrow Gauge | road to an electric system from Sixth and Locust streets all the way out to Florissan with a branch running into Forest Park. The bill for this purpose has already passed the Upper House, and people who patronize the road or own property near toit are very much interested in the success of the meas- ure, which is to be finally considered at this next meeting, when there will doubtless be a very large attendance to show the Railroad Committee that the proposed change and extension of the line is a public necessity, which will prove to be of great benefit, not only to its advocates, but to the city at large. PAYING BIG DIVIDENDS. Wm. H. Lee has given his bank check for $30,000 in payment forthe lots numbered 26, 27 and 28, withan aggregate frontage of 300 feet bya depth of 200, situate on the south side of Portiand place, opposite the site pur- chased inthe Forest Park addition by John Whittaker. This property belonged. to the Forest Park Improvement Association, the di- rectors of which only a few days ago declared and paid a dividend of $20.a share on every share of the $240,000 capital stock of the con- cern. Thisisthe association which nearly four years ago purchased the Griswold tract of 80 acres for $400,000 which, together with the cost ofthe elaborate improvements, has all been paid out of profits derived from the sale of portions of the property. In addition to this the association has yet un- sold an aggregate frontage of 5, 100 feet in detached parcels of the tract; the schedule price of which is $560,020. Previous to this last dividend of $20 a share it is said that the stockholders received dividends amounting to $80 a share. The last $20 in- stallment gives them a total profit of $100 a share,and 5,100 feet of ground free of debt yet to be disposed of. When $5,000 an acre was paid for this iand, nearly four years ago, a great deal of sympathy was expressed for the ‘‘enterprising and over-zealous gen- tlemen’’ who put money into it, but it is very evident that the people who condoled with them then are now sympathizing with them- selves for pot having known a gcod thing when it was presented to them, Oneof the best features of this enterprise is the pay- ment ofa $20 dividend during a stringent money market. SALES OF THE DAY. The firm of T. S. Noonan & Bro. report the sale of an aggregate frontage of 461 feet of ground in the valley along the north side of Maple avenue, west of De Hodiamont station, between the Wabash andthe Narrow Gauge tracks, from Robert J. O’ Reilly to W. S. Flem- ing at 86 a foot. At an auction of adjoining property in that locality a Üttie over a year ago the prices ranged from $8 to $4 a foot. Higher ground more eligibly situated in that vicinity to the east of the Narrow Gauge road has been sell- ing at from $15 to $20 a foot, and the probabil- ities are that it will go from $5 to $10 a foot “Bigot oa . 8 ‘GaP Rep Ang 7 THERE IS NO BEMEDY, THE B. r. I. CANNOT COPE WITH THE . SPRINKLING COMBINE. The Expose of the Manner in Which the ‘ Combine Work Causes Much Comment The Inspectors Blamed—No Riding School in Forest Park. * ‘The members of the Board of Public Im- provements .all read the reports of the sprinkling legislation in yesterday’s PostT- DISPATCH with a great deal of interest and to-day they confess themselves unable to cope with the combine in any way. The commissioners say that there is nothing for them to do but to comply with the ordi- nances and give the contracts to the lowest bidders. Maj. Murphy’ said: *y do not see what we can do; we certainly know that there is a combine, and that in spite of all their de- nials they intend to divide the districts up so that each man will get a share, but there is nothing we can do now tostopthem. If the bids recetved are reasonable in price we can do nothing but award the contracts.’’ Taking the whole matter of sprinkling af- fairs as it stands to-day the commissioners think that the main cause of all the friction and all the blunders which have occurred can be charged directly to the in- spectors. There is in the ordinance a clause which established a superintendent or chief inspector and seventeen duputies. The deputies are the cause of all the trouble. When the last lot were appointed to do the work last year a list of between forty and fifty poltical workers was made up, and when the selection commenced the appointments were supposed to have been made by the Street Commissioner with the approval of the Mayor, but the truth of the matter was that the appointments were made by the Mayor with the reluctant consent of the Street Com- missioner, who was at that time George Bur- net, now the president of the board. When the list was finally made up to suit the Mayor’s political notions, it was sent to him for his approval, and the result was a very fine assortment of absolutely incompe- tent men whose only idea seemed to be that they were put there in the interest of Democracy and that their duties consisted entirely of political work, such as giving and taking cigars, buying drinks and such like. At the time ofthe last city elec- tion, in November, nearly every one of the inspectors used his time and nis horse and buggy, which the city maintains at $20 a month, for the purpose of finding unregistered Democrats and taking them up and having them puton the books. The political standing ofall of them was good, and to-day a number of these same men are at work as clerks in the Special Tax Department as clerks, not because of any particular ability they may have in that 165 supervision of Mr. Cunningham, who, being an ent on the subject of fish culture, gives a great portion of his time to its devel- opment Philip Kopplin, the superintendent, who has been with commission for years, isin charge of the ponds, and fully under- stands his business. The commission's nets, tools and parapher- nalia is kept in a tank, owing to inability to provide be ter accommodations, and an ap- — priaticz of $600 is asked to put up suitable iidings tor this purpose, in connection with an office for the superintendent, for which the Park Commissioner has volunteered to furnish workmen to put them up and paint them if the State will supply the lumber. The commission urges stronger fish laws and a better enforcement of them and es- pecially recommends the breaking up of Riu - ing fish with drugs or dynamite.

The End of Doc“ Wilson of Washburn- Moen Fame, PROVIDENCE, R. I., Jan. 19.—Much excite- ment was caused in town yesterday by the circulation of the report that the famous Doc Levi Wilson of Washburn-Moen fame had been found dead in Arizona, The Arizona Republican of Saturday. published in Pheenix, Ariz., contains an account of the finding of a coroner’ s jury, which investigated the death of a gambler known as the New River Crazy Man. His body was found near Frog Tank, on the Aqua Fria, and the jury decided he was * * Wilson, formerly of this place. He was 5 feet 8 inches in hel with dark brown mustache, light blue eyes scar on the neck and retreating chin, There was no clothing on the corpse, ta ragged shirt and a pair of overalls, @ man had wan - dered around the desert for several days. It will be remembered that ‘‘Doc’’ Wilson, if this be he, eight years ago, was the Monte Oristo of Rhode Island, Born of a loo and obscure family tnthe village of Arnoldtown, Conn., passing his chil hoot in a cotton twine-factory, his teens in a gtable and his eatfly manhood as a horse-doctor and the landlord of edisreputable road-house near Providence, as one of the richest men in New England he spent money lavishly, bought fine horses and equipages, enter- tained the Governors of the State, built a palatial hotel at Uxbridge, Mass., and after various intrigues with women married the beautiful Miss Farnum, daughter of Caleb | Farnum, one of the best known manufact- urers in the Blackstone Valley. Doc“ was vulgar and ignorant, but he had plenty of money, the souree of which for many years was a mystery. At length he began a suit against Philip L. Moen, the millionaire barbed wire manufacturer of Worcester. The secret, of course, of Wilson’s great wealth was then exposed, for it came out that Moen had, from time to time, paid Doc“ immense sums, for what reason Moen neon! never disclose.

No Riding-School in the Park. The Mayor at the request of the Park Com- missioner secured an opinion from City Coun- selor Bell concerning the ordinance permit. ting the company known as the Public Park Amusement Co. to hire donkeys in Forest rk. The company applied tothe Board of Public Improvements for permission to build a riding-school in Forest Park. The matter was referred to Mr. Klemm, the Commissioner, and the following opinion is the result: Hon. Edw. A. Noonan, Mayor: Sin—By ordinance 15,767, approved Aug. 8, 1890, certain privileges were granted to the Public Parks Amusement Co., in Forest Park, in the way of main- taining in said park saddle ponies, carts, etc., for bire to the ery for the period of ten years from the approval of the ordinance. The ordinance con- fers on the company the right to erect three orna- mental frame buildings within the park, under the supervision of the Park Commis- of dimensions not exceeding 15 to be used as offices to conduct the business aforesaid. No other provision is contained in the ordinance permitting the company to erect buildings in the park. Application is now made by the compauy to the Board oi Public Improve- ments for permission to erect a hnilding in the park, to be used fora riding academy, at a cost of not less than $3,500. Lam of opinion that the application will have to be refused, and that the privilege in question can only be granted by 24 and that it is not empraced in the grant made by ordinance 18.707, and I so make answer to the letter of the Park Commissioner of the 16th inst, LEVERETT BELL, City Counselor. The commission will report to the board and the amusement company will be directed to secure an ordinance, Bids for the Dead Animal Contract. This afternoon the Health Department will for the fourth time receive bids for the dead animal contract. This has been the cause of a great deal of trouble for the Board of Health and the members even now fear that the trouble is not all over because of the fact thatthe St. Louis Reduction Co., the public spirited crowd that got the garbage contract, has its eye on the thing and has enlisted the services of Ea Butler. The last time bids were received it was found neces - gary to reject them all because of alittle scheme laid by the reduction crowd and other contractors. One of the contrac- tors, however, got left and gave the whole thing away. Since that time a temporary ar- 1 has been in existence, and the po- yet a busy chasing tue contrac. — w set about cutting. up the inside the city limits and in violation of all the city ordinances. It is safe te predict that the Reduction Co. wil) bob up again this evening, either under its own name or through some one hired to bid for them, Missouri Fish Commission's Report. The Mayor this morning received a copy of the biennial report of the Missouri Fish Commission. The report opens witha com - parisan between the appropriations made in | * — State and in others. In speaking of the hatcheries the report . gives some interesting statements concern- ing the hatchery here, and what has been done and should be done in future.

CuicaGco, III., Jan. 19.—The model of the much-talked-of Mount Carmel air ship ar rived at the Polk street depot this evening, The ship is about thirty feet long, the buoy- ancy chamber occupying four-fifths of that length, and is six and one-half feet in diam- eter. It is designed to carry two personas. It is rather @ working model than the air ship contemplated by.the inventor, Mr. Penning- ton, the air ship itself being, in contempla- tion, much larger and with correspondingly greater carrying capacity, It is not known just when the trial trip at the Exposition will take place, as it will require two or three days to put the model together. SIR KNIGHT JOHN DICKERSON. Cuicaeo, III., Jan. 19.—An Illustration of the fraternal feeling encouraged by Masonry was shown here yesterday atthe Emergency Hospital. Some time ago a large cancer was removed from the thigh of Sir Knight John? Dickerson and the incision made was so large that nature was unequal to the task of heal - ing over the gaping wound. The e ment was tried of engrafting the skin of some of the lowest animals but it failed and then the Knight Templars were informed that if human skin could be obtained sufficient to cover @ place nearly 12 inches square, or 144 square inches, their brother would stand a good chance of recovering. The mat ter was brought up at a meet - ing of. the commandery and toa man they offered to rie the necessary skin. The surgeon selected 100 of the health. lest men and them on a certain diet several days, and yesterday morning each of the knights took a bath and then repaired to the hospital. From the arm or leg of each a strip of skin was removed and transplanted to the patient’s hip. With flve or six excep- tions the Sir Knights stood the operation without flinching, Three or four of them fainted, but were soon resuscitated. The surgeons were at work fully three hours and are well . win tae Nut. * Dr. D. 8 8 Bx all coughs and col lung complications and SSP ee — ee A Serious Accident.

The story as told under oath by the officers inthe court-room this morning is as fol- lows: THE OFFICERS’ STORY. They were patrolling their beat about half - past 2 this morning when he heard singing in Stark’s saloon. Thinking it advisable to learn what was going on at that hour of the night they went towards the saloon. As they peared the place Stark and three companions came out, They were singing away at the top of their voices, The words of their song, as repeated in court this morning, were: Officer Brady is dead and gone}; Officer Gaffney has lost his gun, We will now have lots of fan, In Charley Stark’s saloon, The police officers after listening long enough to remember the words accurately went towards the negroes. Stark, who lives next door, made a break for his house, an the other three men got out into the street and made a run to get away. The police gave chase and Stark started after the police. blowing as he went a police whistle. The officers gave up chasing the three fugitives and, turning back, arrested Stark. Another man who was | supposed to have been one of the singing party, and who gave his name as Alexander, was arrested also, and the pair taken to the police station, where they secured bond and were released, with instructions to appear to-day. STARK DENIED THD STORY. Stark appeared, but Alexander did not, and his bond was declared forfeited. Officers O’Brien and Lawton gave the testimony, and each repeated the words of the song the men were . singing in rejoicing over a murder committe? on the spot where they were carousing, Stark denied that they were singing those words and said that when the police came in they were singing John Brown's Body, and insisted that Offiicers Connors and Maloney, who came up when he blew his whistle, would testify that he was singing John Brown’’ and the recited by the officers, court and Judge Anderson deci would be advisable to hold the case until to- morrow, The Judge before laying aside the case this morning said that in view of the fact that a murder had been committed in that place, and that those intimate with the murderers had been heard singing in a boastful man- ful and make a thorou While not saying s0 timated that if the would be the mien who took pleasure in gloating over the death of a $0 ena brave officer. $5.75. at St. Louis to o Chicago, $5.75.

IT FURNISHES CLIFTON HEIGHTS PEO- PLE WITH ANOTHER ROW. The Squabble Brought tothe Attention of the Ministers Meeting This[/Morning— Baptist and Presbyterian Ministers’ Meetings—Other Religious News. The Methodist ministers at their meeting this morning had brought to their attention an unseemly squabble over a new church property in Clifton Heights. Rev. C. Brad- ford is pastor of the church, and it is planned to build a new church building. The trustees disagreed as to the proper lo- cation, and not being able to settle the matter between themselves brought it before the ministers’. meeting. A long and spirited discussion on the matter took place, during the course of which some very severe criticisms were passed upon the church trustees. The ministers were ‘of the opinion that these gentlemen should have settled the matter themselves. The resolu- tions introduced choosing a location were therefore laid on the table without any action having been taken. It was decided to hold the centenary cele- bration of the death of Wesley, the founder of Methodism, at Exposition Music Hall on Monday, March 2. Revs.T. H. Hagerty, OC. P. Masden and J. P. Jacoby were appointed to confer with representatives from the Dea cesses’ Home Association in making the ar- rangements for the celebration, which will de on a grand scale. The programme as arranged Will de announced later. PRESBYTERIANS. Rev. J. U. B. Smith, formerly a missionary to China, read a paper on the conditions under which the Christian religion exists in that country before the Presbyterian minis- ters. The paper was very lengthy and on that account did not allow of discussion. The new officers were in their place for the first time. BAPTISTS. The attendance at the Baptist ministers’ meeting was very good, Rev. Hoffman read a good paper on The Baptists in Germany. The paper was statistical and proved very in- teresting to the gentlemen present. The Central Church Revival. The third week of the series of revival meetings at Central Union Church, Eleventh and Locust streets,opened last night in a way that gives promise of some old-fashioned en- thusiasm during the week. One of the largest crowds ever in the building was present. The services began at 7:30 with singing led by the orchestra and chorus choir of fifteen voices. Mr. F. C. Childs, Assistant State Evangelistic Secretary of the Y. M. OC. A., gave the address of the evening and was followed by Mr. 8. F. Wishard, the Chicago evangelist, in an ap- pealtothe unconverted, Several came for- ward in response to the invitation. It is ex- pected that the crowd of last night will be duplicated every night this week. Rev. Dana W. Bartlett, pastor of the new Union Congregational Church, Tenth street, near Cass avenue, has been in- vited to participate in the meetings and will beat Central Church with his people every night. The people of Memorial Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Fifteenth and Oarr streets, will also join in the meetings. Mr. R V. Staley, the local evangelist, will probably be present every night also,making, with the pastor, Rev. Wm. Johnson, four regular speakers. There will be good music and singing beginning at 7:30. The seats are free and the residents of the down-town district are urged to attend: Religious Notes. The gospel revival at the Niedringhaus Me- morial Hall, Séventh street and Cass avenue, is drawing an attendance of from 500 to 1,000 people every night. Gospel lessons are given in stereopticon views. The bids for the erection of the new Visita- tion Convent will be opened to- -morrow at 12 O' clock. Rev. Father Griffin, rector of the Annuncia- tion Church, Chicago, occupied the pulpit at St. Michael’s yesterday. The Choral Society of the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus has in rehearsal a sacred concert to be given on Wednesday night,Feb. 4, at the parish school hall, Emily and East Grand avenue. The society is one of the best trained of its kind in the city, anda rare 5 is promised. A hop and supper will ollow. Notes From Ferguson, Mo. FerGuson, Mo., Jan. 19.—Mr. A. J.

Heat From a Stove Sets Fire to Matches in Mr. Granberry’s. Pocket. Mr. G. D. Granberry, fis one of those men with alarge, well-developed grudge against the bob-tail street car, and he has good rea- son to feel the least bit offended. This morn- jing he placed an order with his tailor for a coat and vest and he thinks seriously of send- ing the bill to the Mound City Street Railway Co. On last Friday afternoon Mr. Granberry boarded a bob-tail . at Eighth and Washington avenue intending to go up in North St. Louis. He had gone about a block when he saw the black-typed notice in the front of the car to put your fare in the box’’ and stepped for- ward to comply with the unreasonable re- quest, The car was crowded and he was forced to stand for a moment close to a little stove attheside. For a wonder there was enough fire to be noticeable, and Mr. Gran- berry was congratulating, himself on his comfortable quarters as he made another break forward to deposit his fare. Suddenly there was a cry of ‘‘fire’’ from a little lady by his side, and his tightly buttoned coat felt strangely oppressive. He put his hand upto unbutton the garment, but pulled it away with a mutte exclamation of pain. Glancing ,down he saw the cause of the commotion. is ‘coat was on fire and out from his left-hand vest pocket shota pale yellow flame. Two of the passengers scorched their fingers not a little in tearing away the burning cloth, while Mr. Granberry will wear bandages fora week. Notwithstanding the fact that his coat was buttoned to his waist the heat from the little stove had set fire to the half half dozen matches in his vest pocket and the garments which he had received from the tailor only a few days ago before Christmas. were ruined. This peculiar little incident is enjoyed much more by Mr. Granberry’s friends than by Mr. Granberry. $5.75 to Chicago. Cut rates now on by Jacksonville Southeast- ern Line and Santa Fe route.

Schneider, an old tailor, who lives at 223 Lombard street. The assault was a most brutal one and occurred at Steber’s stable, 219 Lombard street, Schneider’s right eye being almost completely knocked from the socket.

The Veteran Turfman Intends to Run His Stable Exclusively in the East—Demp- sey Will Stick to the Ring—Fitzsim- mons’ Peculiar Methods. When the saddling bell rings at Churchili Downs on next Derby Day it will find at least one familiar and notable figure missing from the paddock, quarter stretch and betting There are. thousands of Kentuckians who would pass unrecognized the chief executive of their native state, but who, on the other hand, could single out Sam Bryant from among the multitude. Forfifteen years ever since Aris- tides beat Ten Broeck in the first Kentucky Derby—Sam Bryant has witnessed or taken part in every race run on Kentucky soil. All his interests are, or were, centered here. Hereit was he developed the young thoroughbreds that subsequently amazed the turf—the famous Gen. Harding, the re- nowned Proctor Knott, that sturdy but some- what less noted colt, Uncle Bob, and others that preceded him. Here is his home. Around about the track at Churchill Downs are doz- ens of cottages whose tenants serve him. Here he winters hishorses and prepares them for the spring campaign. Everything, in short, by which he has lived or which has brought him fame and money is in Kentucky. Notwithstanding allthis, Mr. Bryant sud- denly announces that he lias had enough of Kentucky, so far as racing is concerned. He renton $50,000 worth of property, to pay taxes, to take part in city politics, to train his horses here and to pasture them on the blue grass of Kentucky, but he will race them only inthe East. The pursesand stakes of- fered by the Louisville Jockey Club used to be very tempting to Sammy in days gone by, but they are sono longer; they are not fat enough by half, and he is not going to run ‘‘a $1,500 horse for a $350 purse.’’ Consequently the first pretty day in May will find Mr. Bryant and his stable of horses on one of the East-bound trains, en route for Brooklyn. **l can take my horses to the Dwyer’s track,’’ said Mr. Bryant, ‘‘and whether I win a race there or not I will be in striking distance of a dozen tracks where the stakes range from $5,000 to $20,000. I mayn’t get nary a stake, but if I do I'll win more than 1 can win in a dozen in the West. Same way with the purses—one of them in the East is worth three out here.’’ **How about the greater competition?“ was asked. ‘‘Isn’t the company you will meet in the East a trifle rich Bas well as the trophies?’’ es, it’s a little richer, but what ofthat? It wasn’t too rich for me to win over 860, 000 three years ago [Proctor Knott’s vic- tories], and I’m willing to take my chances again with the best of em. No, I haven't got any. Proctor Knotts this year that 1 know of, but I’ve got several thatcan run from starving while I’m East. i’d sooner stayin Kentucky andthe West, of course, but outside of Chicago the purses and stukes ain’t worth runningfor. When you win out here you don’t win anythingto start with, and yet you have to buck against almost as good hosses as you do in the East. Then, again; this jumping from town to town and hanging about don’t do hosses no good, I'd have won the Kentucky Derby with Proctor Knott if I hadn’t made an ass of my- self by taking him downto Nashville. Here- after my stable does as little traveling as possible. When I go East my string will stay there just as long as there is any money to be won and my horses are in condition to win . Bryant has eleven 2-year-olds in his string, and among them are several very speedy youngsters. Whether they will be able to compete, with the flower of the East is, of course, a matter of conjecture. It is upon these youngsters, however, that he wiil reply to keep him from starving, as there is nothing in his all- aged division that is dan- gerous at present. He has several cripples in the list—notably Charlotte Cushman, the sister to Proctor Knott—who may develop sound legs later on, but the chances at pres- ent are not rosy. SENATOR HEARST AND SON. Speculation is rife in racing circies over Senator Hearst’s approaching end, says the New York World. The verdict of the physt- cian that he cannot recover means a good deal to the racing world, for it is pretty well known that after the Senator dies his mag- nificent stable will be sold out at once by his son and heir. Young Hearst has always been bitter and outspoken against his father’s racing enterprises, andit is on record that more than one quarrel has taken place between them on account of the large expenditures and small returns of the Hearst stable. Young Hearst’s aversion to racing was socomplete thatitis said that he even refused, on principle, to goto some of the great contests in which his father’s stable was represented by famous thoroughbreds. The disappearance of the Hearst stable soon after the break-up of Mr. Belmont’s superb collection of horses will make a very notable change in the character of the turf next season. . WESTERN HORSES NOT IN IT. ‘The scarcity of Western entries in the Suburban Handicap this year has demon- strated the fact that Western turfmen have at last concluded thatitis well-nigh useless to attempt to capture the big event of Sheepshead Bay. Hundreds have tried for it, but Troubadour, wintered at Louisville, is the only Western-trained animal that ever won the trophy. Riley, the last Kentucky Derby winner, is the only horse of any con- sequence or noteinthe Westthatis entered this year. THE RING. Notwithstanding Jack Dempsey’s defeat by Fitzsimmons, his reputation as a great pugil- ist and wonderfully skillful boxer has appar- ently not suffered in the least. Hardly had the smoke of battle at New Orleans died away when he was offered the position which will soon be vacated by Jim Corbett—that of box- ing instructor to the Olympic Athletic Club of San Francisco. Theclub was so desirous of securing Dempsey that in the telegram to him at New Orleans the President almost assured him that his terms would be accepted. From the tenor ofthe remarks of a number ofthe leading members of the Manhattan Athletic Club of New York,there is hardly any doubt that if Dempsey would only say the word he could be professor of boxing to the club. Itissaid that the only reason he has not been appointed before this was that his terms were toohigh. Dempsey, however, isin no mood just now for accepting club positions. The Sun wired Jack asking if he intended to accept any of the offers reported to have been made hi This was the reply sent through his train and second: To the Editor of the Sun, Stirn—Jack Dempsey will not accept an en- gagement as instructor to any club. JACK MCAULIFFE. Dempsey intends to stick to thering. He will be present at the fight between La Blanche and young Mitchell before the Call- fornia Athletic Club and intends to challenge the winner. Information from London received by cable states that English sports blame Dempsey for consenting to a match with Fitzsimmons. Itis.said that the latter has never been able to arrange a com- bat with any British gniddie-weight. Demp- sey can make a match,it is stated, with either Jack Burke or Ted Pritchard after their fight next March. Either the Pelicans or the new club Lord Lonsdale is organizing from its discontented members will be willing to hang up a purse for the contest.

He is 6 feet 1 inch tall, his hair is red and his head is about the size of one of the Aztec children. He has a stoop in his shoulders and his arms reach to his knees. From the ends of his hands to his elbows is one mass of freckles and hair. He is knock- kneed, and walks with a peculiar shambling gait. In ring costume he presents an entirely different appearance. one forgets his queer looks when seen inaction in a ring contest. His body is that of a heavy-weight and his legs are very much light-weight. Thus we see a man with the reach and strength of a 5 gorilla and the agility of a cat. When Fitz- simmons starts in to fight he does not put his hands up in regulation pugilistic style, with the left hand forward. He does not extend, one arm more than another. He ‘‘fiddles’ with them, and the arms shoot out alter - nately, like the piston-rods of a locomotive. All this time Fitzsimmons is hopping around on his toes as though he were dancing a jig. BASE BALL. A. W. Thurman, who has becomethe cen- tral figure in base ball circles, is a large man, with broad shoulders and heavy frame, about 42 years of age, with a smooth shaven face of the Roman type—in fact, looking much like his father, ‘‘the noblest Roman of them all, in Democratic eyes. His energy 1s untiring, and he has been the masterful genius in the solution of the problem that presented itself to the Brotherhood and the League at the close of last season. It is not infrequent to hear per- sons say thatit is belittling toa son of Judge Thurman to be engaged in base ball. But the answer to that is that base ball has grown into a vast business pursuit and enterprise. It involves the investment of large sums of money, careful management and public favor, Young Thurman came into the bus!i- naturally, as a lawyer whose clients had infested money and wanted to see it made remunerative. They were brewers of Colum- bus, where he lives, and they gave him com- plete power of attorney to extract the $75,000 to $80,000 of capital they had invested from the perils of competition with which it had be- come surrounded. His connection with base ball has therefore been entirely in the line of his professional business. BASE BALL BRIEFS. It is said that the new Boston Association team will be known as the Red Stockings.“ President Prince declares that he will get to- gether a strong team. The officials’ of the Milwaukee base ball team are very angry at the American Associ- ation, whom they claim invited them to at- tend the meeting at New York, leading them to believe they would be admitted, and then left them out in the cold world, having merely used them as a tool to fall back on in case of emergency. They declare that they are done with the Association forever. Al Spalding says there will be no discrimin- ation against Players, League men, butasa result of the surplus of players in the country about one hundred men will be left out in the cold this coming season and there will bea big drop in salaries. THE HARVARD BALL TEAM, Capt. Dean of Harvard is already testing the strength of the timber with which he ex- pects to play ball’’ with Yale next spring. The men have taken hold of the work wih a commendable amount of enthusiasm. Of course the work is confined tothe cage, but it gives the men the proper exercise in throwing and stopping grounders and the battery gets in its fine work with John Clark- son as instructor. There are a dozen candidatesfor battery positions, among whom are many ofthe old men. Among these are Bates and Cum- mings, 95; Howe, ’98, and Downer, L. S., for pitchers, and Mason, L. S., and Upton, 93, for catchers. The other candidates for battery are: Pitchers—B. Bow- men. "SE. We. BBs Wiggin, 93; J. G. Young, 92; H. F. Kent, 93; F. D. Marshall, Sp. L. S., and W. B. Dinsmore, Sp. Catchers —F. W. Cobb, 91, and T. E. Guerin, 91. Bowman, Wiggin, Young and Guerin have had experience on their class nines, but the others are inexperienced in college base ball. Capt. Dean intends to use the pruning-knife early, and every candidate who possesses ability asa player will have to show his skill or step out. Capt. Dean proposes to establish a second nine, so thatthe second ’Varsity candidates may have some good material opposed to them. The plan has been broached in other years, but has never been carried out. The value of a second eleven to the success of the foot-ballteam seems to have established the importance of the scheme. FOOT-BALL. The Shamrocks won their ninth consecutive game yesterday when they defeated the Hi- bernians at Brotherhood Park by a score of 1 to 0. Cahill’s goal tending was a feature of the contest. This team is at present time putting up a stronger game than any eleven inthe local league. They have not lost a single contest since they won their initial, all ther defeats being sustained at the outset of the season. They have feated every team in being the only eleven the Blue Bells. Next Sunday they play the latter again at East St. Louis, and should the Shamrocks win the two will be tied in in games won. At East St. Louis the Blue Bells downed the Olympics by a score of 3 to 0. A drawn game was played at Sportmsman’s Park between the M. A. A. C. and Kensington teams, neither securing a goal. The former is playing a strong game, Herman Wieneke being particularly strong in his new position as goal tender. The Cycle Club, which was to have met the M. A. A. C., Jrs.,at Compton Avenue Park in a practice game yesterday morning, failed to show up and a strong pick team took their place. The M. A. A. C., Jrs., won by a score of 2to 0, THE KENNEL.

Gouley, the inventor, philanthropist and Christian worker, who expected to give the world perpetual motion in afew years. Not only wasa great partof his time employed during the last few years in endeavoring to accomplish this work, but his labors were de- voted toall religious movements as well. He was born sixty-two years ago, and came from one of the oldest families in Western Pennsylvania, and was related to President Washington. He spent the greater part of his life in Wilmington, and he was never married. Mr. Gouley was the first man to introduce coal oil into Wilmington, in which enterprise he was remarkably success- ful and accumulated a fortune. He next opened the first establishment for the manu- facture of willow baskets, with similar suc- cess. In it he had doubled his wealth when the financial panic of 1873 paralyzed trade and wrecked his business. A few years earlier he began work upon his machine, which, if perfected,would, he believed, have proven the most startling invention ot the age. The project was a mo- tor to be run by perpetual motion. His re- sources were limited, and in order to acquire the necessary funds to complete his machine, he again engaged in business. He arose early in the morning and labored during the day at his ordinary business and then worked at night upon his machine. His business venture prospered and he accumulated an- other small fortune. In the evening after his day’s work was finished and his supper eaten he would retire to his garret workshop, where he labored for hours upon his motor, seldom going to bed before midnight. He would get the machine almost in motion during the night, but on his departure for his placeof business was always careful to take it apart again. This customary action was to guard against any one entering the room during the day and exposing the invention to the public. He was somewhat concerned lest Keely, of motor fame, should hear of the in- vention and in some manner get possession of its secret. Meantime, all man- ner of stories had been circu- lated concerning the exact nature of the machine, which up to the hour of his death he had not breathed toany other per- sons than his two sisters, the doctor who at- tended him and a lady friend in this city, to whom he promised the first free trip to Europe upon the motor which, runinng by perpetual motion when completed, was to propel the largest vessel that ever crossed the ocean. Since Mr. Gouley’s death the ma- chine has still been kept in seclusion and been visible but to very few persons. The motor was found justas he had left it, all taken apart, sothatapparently no one could dis- cover how the sections were arranged. The largest portion is an arrangement about four feet long and one foot high. The frame work is riddled with possibly a thousand holes, where the different portions were bolted when in operation. On the top of the ma- chine are placed two upright irons standing one foot from the surface of the woodwork, and bent over at right angles. These irons were also arranged so that other portions of the machine could be fastened thereto. Ina trunk was piled the remainder of the apparatus, consisting of several hundred pieces of iron in almost every conceivable shape and size. These were allnicely made and handsomely finished, but no one knows the smith that made them or where he lives. There was alsoa large number of bolts and triangular shaped arrangements of irons. Frequently the inventor could be heard rolling the machine about the floor during the night. He was careful to fill up any crev- ice about the doors or window, so that no one might look in, nor would he allow any one to enter while he was at work. $5.75. St. Louis to Chicago. $5.75.

Candidates for President Makinga Hard Canvass—Some of the Issues in the Election—The Meeting of the Building Trades’ Council Wednesday Night. To-morrow the election of the Mechanics’ Exchange will take place, and to-day a spir- ited canvass is being made by the gentlemen who desire to become officers. _ Shortly before noon the members began to come in, and the candidates came withthem. There is little doubt that Mr. Patrick McGrath still leads in the race for President, -although he is taking less interest in the canvass than the other three candidates. Mr. Wm. M. Anderson has issued a card bearing his likeness upon which an appeal is made that the members vote for him for President. He is making the canvass for President thoroughly and his friends look upon him asa sure winner. One member this morning bet $20 even that Mr. Anderson would be the next President. Heis backed by the younger element and will doubtless secure a good vote, evenif he does not secure election. There is a strong combination being formed in his favor and it would be no surprise should he slip into the chair. The race for First Vice-President lies be- tween Messrs. Charles B. McCormack, J. B. Legg and Stephen O'Connor. Mr. McCor- mack is another representative of the younger element, who are seeking to gain control of affairs. They declare that their ideas are more modern. They are, in other words, entirely in favor of the high pro rate assessment now im posed by the National Builders’ Association. This faction is decidedly the stronger, as evidenced by the result of the election of del- egates to the National Association last Tues- y. The election will take place between the hours of 10a. m. and 2 p. m. to-morrow, din- ner being served tothe members at 12 o’clock. A full vote will doubtless be polled, as the en- tire membership are intensely interested in- terested in the outcome of the election, owing to the serious look of labor affairs for this season, The Building Trades’ Council. The Building Trades Unions’ Council will meet at Central Turner Hall next Wednesday evening, at which time matters of the most vital interest to the building trade will come up for action. While the amal- gamation of the various unions is con- sidered as practically completed, complica- tions are very Hable to arise at Wednesday’s meeting that will completely destroy the use- fulness of the organization. The three stronger unions—carpenters, bricklayers and stonemasons—do not seem very anxious to go into the amalgamation. The carpenters’ de- cision is that they will not goin unless the bricklayers and stonemasons do. The stone- masons want a representation in the council on a basis of numerical strength. The bricklayers have not as yet taken any definite action, but they give the council to understand that they must have more representation than smaller unions if they join. This means that the smaller unions must grant concessions to gain the support of the stronger bodies. The smaller unions now control the Building Coun- cil, and it is doubtful whether they will con- cede what is demanded. The fact that trouble will likely ensue in the Building Council is greeted as gladsome news by the contractors. They say that if the men once begin quarrelling among themselves their management for this season will be an easy matter. The con- tractors assert that the carpenters have for- feited their right to all support by the Build - ing Council by submitting their demand for, 40 cents per hour without consulting the other unions. This claim is made because the new scale was not presented to the coun- cil before the demand was made. If the men get to quarreling among them- selves,’’ said a contractor this „there is little danger ot this season. The men of d ing trades at the present time are not busy |. and if they quarrel now they will not have time latter on to patch up their difierences. This is the way the Building Council ne mama to wind up every time an attempted. The carpenters will most oe ably get the raise they have asked for but if the other organizations ask for a Ike increase in wages, I am not sure that they will re- ceive what they demand.
