NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 31.—Friday night, in the absence of Jacob Perew,a farmer living near thiscity, twenty masked men White Caps, of Harrison and Crawford Counties, rode upto his dwelling and de- manded admission. Being refused they bat- tered inthe door with aratl, seized Mrs. Perew and dragging her from the house, tied her toa tree,and with stout switches liter- ally laidthe flesh open from her shoulders to her hips. When the woman was beaten into insensibility the Whitecaps left, after telling her children that they had whipped their mother bétause she was not virtuous. Her relatives and neighbors agree that she is a woman o funspotted character. The cbil- dren procurea a knife, with which they cut the ropes that bound their mother and finally succeeded in getting herto the house. She will probably not recover from the awful tor- ture she had. A. Georgian’s Record. MACON, Gaj, Jan. 31.—The return of Jake Young, the desperado, to Tipton, a free man, has caused terror among the people there. Jake was born in that neighborhood and grew tafmanhood with a record for killing negroes, and then turned upon the whites, of whom he is credited with killing five. Finding the presence of a magistrate troublesome he announced himself a candidate for the place, and by standing at the polls armed to the teeth, se- cured his election. His bailiff displeased him for some official act. Young shot him through the heart, sent for the Coroner and skipped for the woods. Several weeks afterwardshe was captured in the woods bya pursuing par- ty. This was-in May, 1889. Since then he-has been in jail, but through the aid of powerful relatives he has been released on bond. The Dolan Case Cleared Up. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan.3i.—The case of Miss Mamie Dolan, who died here day before yesterday, has been practically cleared up. Miss Dolan was a handsome young girl liv- ing at the home of her stepfather at Clay and Jefferson streets, Her death occured sud- denly night before last. Her death at first was surrounded with mystery, but the testi- mony at the inquest has brought out the whole story. According to the testli- mony of Miss Charlotte Racknitt, Samuel Ritter and Charles Racknitz the girl was ergre age by John Moran, the girl’s stepfath- , who came home drunk and finding the oir sitting on the porch struck her witha hatchet. After her death he forced a quanti+ ty of strychnine down hér throat to give the impression that she had committed suicide. Moran and Mrs. Phillips who assisted him with the poison are held for trial. Proving Crawford Insane. DECATUR, Iil., Jan. 31.—The prosecution in the W. H. Crawford murder trial rested their case yesterday. Crawford’s father and slis- ter, Mrs. Ben Merritt, testified for the de- fense. The father testified that he had an in- sane sister who had tried to kill her father and mother; that of his four children one daughter wasin an asylum for the feeble- minded, and a son, now dead, had been afflicted with fits, and that the prison®ér had once threatened to killthe witness and was subject to spells of great violence of temper. Mrs. Merritt testified that she believed the prisoner to be insane. The evidence proved that Crawford and Mrs. Mathias had been in- timate and that he had resolved to kill her because she would not leave her husband and children. The Mitchell Poisoning. PATTEVILLE, Wis., Jan. 31.—Miss Rosa Zol- doski, a very beautiful young woman of 19, is now being held to answer the charge of pois- oning Mrs. Mitchell of Richland Center and Miss Ella Malley of the same place. As the story goes now Miss Zoldoski was madly in love with Dr. Mitchell, the husband of Mrs. Mitchell, who died suddenly about a year ago. Matters went on for awhile until Dr. Mitchell fell in love with Miss Malley and became en- gaged toher. A short time after this Miss Malley died. Suspicions were aroused and the bodies exhumed and examined. Strych- nine was found in both and Miss Zoldoski was arrested. She will be tried at the next term of the Circuit Court.

Wolfe, the author of the bill, says the city needs none. In support of the bill he says thatthe institute plan is the only prac- tical way of fitting the county teachers forthe work expected ofthem. Year after year, he says, young men and women leave the coun- try schools with limited educations and begin teaching at once. To get these teachers better fitted for the fa- sponsible work intrusted to them, he insists onthe adoption of the institute plan which tobe any service at all must be supported by the State.

HE HEARING OF ARGUMENTS POST. e PONED UNTIL FEBRUARY 12. ‘Gov. Johnson’s Illness the Cause of the _Postponement—Circuit Attorney Clover ‘Testifies as to What Lancaster Said About His Interview With Chief Harri- - @an—Chief Harrigan’s Denial. The taking of testimony in the action for HMbel prosecuted against F. D. White, man- aging editor of the Post-DispaTcu,by Richard D. Lancaster in the Court of Criminal Vorrec- tion was finished lastevening. In the SUNDAY Post-DisPaTcu of Nov.2 the story of how Lan- caster got on the October Grand-jury and how he prevented indictments from being fre- turned was told. This article is alleged to have been libelous. Inthe testimony taken Thursday and yesterday Judge Green, who is trying the case, was informed that R. D. Lancaster was not summoned to serve on the Grand-jury, but his son was. R. D. Lancaster answered the summons directed to his son and procured a seat on the GrandG-jury to which he was not entitled. The Grand-jury found an indictment against Charles A. Gitchell for publishing lottery advertise- ments, which finding Lancaster induced the body to reconsider on false representations. CIRCUIT ATTORNEY CLOVER ON THE STAND. On the opening of the afternoon ses- sion yesterday Ashley ©. Clover, the Cir- cult Attorney, was sworn. He said on the last day of the November term, 1890, of the Criminal Court he met Mr. Lancaster atthe southeast corner of Sixth and Olive streets, and had a conversation with him. ‘*‘Did Mr. Lancaster make any statements to you regarding the indictment of Charles A. Gitchell?’’ **He did.’’ **What were those statements?’’ **He said: ‘We ignored the bill against Gitchell.’ I said: ‘So I understand.’ He said:-‘We reconsidered the vote. I had a talk with Maj. Harrigan and he suggested thataslama somewhat prominent Demo- crat the indictment of: Gitchell would look like a political move, soI moved a reconsid- eration.’ That was about all that was said. - SOme one came up and entered into the con- versation with Mr. Lancaster andI went on up the street.’’ **Did you communicate the statements of Mr. Lancaster to the defendant?’’ ‘*Idonotremember. I told some member of the Post-DIsPpaTcH force. I think I told Dent H. Robert,a PostT-DISPATCH reporter. I had a conversation with Judge Normile and with several persons about it.’’ | GRAND JUROR SCOTT TESTIFIES. R. R. Scott was a member of the October Grand-jury. He said he had a conversa- tion with F. D. White concerning the Grand-jury’s failure to return indictments. This conversation occurred in Mr. Scott’s of- fice. Hesaid Mr. White asked himif Lan- caster, in moving a reconsideration of the indictment of Gitchell of the Star- Sayings, said that Maj. Harrigan had said thatas Gitchell was a candidate for office and Lancaster was @ prominent Democrat that Gitchell’s indict- ment would appear to bea political persecu- tion. **He did. My recollection,’’ the witness said, ‘‘is that Mr. White quoted Mr. Lancas- ter’s words verbatim. I said ‘yes.’ ’’ **What else was said?’’ ' **He asked me why we didn’t succeed in doing what we started out todo. He men- tioned the name of a witnegs and asked if he wasn’t called regarding boodling in the School Board. I said ‘Wes,’ and I said that Mr. Lancaster had saidthat witnesses I had wanted were not proper witnesses. Lancas- ter suggested a witness who wasn’t a party atall. A member of the board was called and examined, but the timeof the Grand- jury had all been frittered away and nothing Was done.’’ Mr. Scott was asked if he had given to Mr. White information contained in the arti- cle of Nov. 2. The matter was read to him. **] did not tell him all ofthat,’’ he said. **Much of it was common street talk by that time, and he seemed to be as familiar with the proceedings of the Grand-jury as ifhe had been there himself.’’ CHIEF HARRIGAN’S STRONG TESTIMONY. ™ Lawrence Harrigan, Chief of Police, was asked if, during the session of the October Grand-jury, 1890, he hada conversation with Richard D. Lancaster, **J did.’’ ** At what time?’’ **On the night before the Grand-jury ad- ed i journed. **Where?’’ **At Uhrig’s Cave, ata political meeting.’’ **What was it?’’ **Mr. Lancaster came to where I was stand- ing. Iasked: ‘Have you indicted Gitchell?’ He said: ‘Ican’tanswer that.’ ‘Why?’ said I; ‘isn’t the Grana-jury adjourned?’ ‘No,’ said he; we adjourn to-morrow.’ ‘Who says,’ said he, ‘that I’mtryingto indict Gitchell?’ *Oh,’ I said, ‘it’s town talk.’ ‘Don’t you know that there is only one person that can Present information before a Grand-jury?’ hesaid. ‘Isuppose that is the foreman,’ I said, and he said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Now, who saysI am trying to indict Gitchell?’ he asked again. ‘It’s towntalk,’saidI. I was laughing and joking him, that was all.’’ **Maj. Harrigan, did you ever ask that Gitchell be indicted, or advise with any one against indicting him??? **T did not, and any one who says that I did tells what is absolutely false.’’ Mr. Harrigan detailed a conversation with Mr. White on the matter. He had been by John aA. Dillon, Jr., and George F, Mockler, reporters of the PostT-DISPATCH, concerning’ the tter, and afterward went to Mr. White’s cetosee him, Mr. White told him that Lancaster had, in moving the reconsidera- tion of the Gitchell indictment, told the Grand-jury that the witness had told him that Gitchell’s indictment at that time would be regarded asa political move, as Gitchell was -a Republican candidate for office and Lancaster was a prominent Democrat. “I told Mr. White,’’ the witness said, ‘‘that if Lancaster made that statement he lied,’’ FOREMAN TREDWAY. Dwight Tredway, who was foreman of the Grand-jury in October,was called. He said that on the morning the Grand- -jury was impaneled fifteen or sixteen men answered summons for service on the Grand-jury. Lancaster’s counsel had sought to make it appear fat only twelve appeared, and in consequence Judge Normile refused to excuse Lancaster and he had been compelled to serve. Mr. Tredway said that three or four were ex- | used. Legal obstacles tothe telling of what ' WMr.Tredway knew prevented his testimony . from being interesting. The witness was ex- WOULD NOT SWEAR TO A LIE. ‘a While Chief Harrigan was on the stand Lan- ’ aster crossed the court room to where R. R. e. Scott was sitting and entered into conversa- with him. Thetalk presently grew so - Joud that the attention of everyone in the ' eourt room was attracted tothem. Mr. Scott wes evidently quite angry. ‘‘No,’’ he was ae to say, ‘*I will not swear to a Hie, I told the truth on the witness stand and I’ll yg renedy word of my testimony.’’ - Lancaster’s response was not heard but Mr . Beott’s response was. | the stenographer hasit. I stand by that.’’ The testimony being concluded the argu- ‘was set for this morning. Judge Green ae would like to have the testimony of .

An important meeting of stockholders of the Adams Electric Co. of Missouri was held yesterday afternoon in the offices of the United Elevator Co., at which the final action necessary to complete preparation for the legal contest about to be begun by the newly organized Adams Electric Railway Co. of IIli- nois was taken. The meeting was in response to the following call: : Sr. Louis, Jan. 29, 1891. DEAR Sir—A meeting of the pooling members of the Adams Electric Co. is called for Jan. 30, 3 o’clock p. m., at the office of the United Elevator Co., American Central Building. Pool trustees are to be elected and a contract with them to be signed. Please bring your certificates of stock with you. Respectfully, FRANCIS E. NIPHER. PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. The meeting was organized by the election of Hon, Seth W. Cobb as chairman and Ewing Hill secretary, andthe object for which the stockholders had been called together was then explained bythe chair. A copy of the **pool trust certificate’’ to be signed was shown before any definite action was taken. This paper was inthe form of a receipt for stock, to be signed by three pool trustees, and embodied the terms of a contract en- tered into between the stockholders pooling their stock and the pool trustees to whom it was surrendered, also giving the reasons for the formation of such a pool, The document set forth that the share- holders of the Adams Electric Co, were de- sirous of realizing for themselves, and all the other stockholders ofthe company as large returns as possible from a sale by the company of two of its patents issued by the United States to Wellington Adams, one of which letters pat- ent was No. 300,827 and dated June 24, 1884, and the other, No. 300,828, and of the same date; that the amount so to be realized would depend in a great degree upon the result of litigation involving the breadth and extent of such letters patent; that it was essential that the greater part of the stockholders of the company should act in unison in order to effect the purposes stated, and that a number of years might elapse before the result of such litigation could be asceratined, and that a sale of shares made by individual stock- hojgers would probably havea tendeney to interfere with the successful conduct of the litigation to establish the patents, and would also depress the price of shares. In order therefore that the rights of all the stocKholders might be equally pro- tected and for the mutual ad- vantage of all, the contract bound the signing stockholders not to offer for sale any of the shares of stock of the Adams Electric Co. belonging to them or standingin their names, either upon their individual accounts or for others, up to 75 per cent of their stock respectively, for a period of two years, or un- tilthe agreement should be set aside by a vote of four-fifths in value of the stock held by subscribers to the contract. After this statement of the reasons leading toa pooling of the stock the contract pro- vided for an assignment and transfer of three-fourths of the stock signed to three trustees, who should issue in return therefor their trust certificates showing the terms of the trust and the several interests therein; thatthe trustees, or a majority of them, should have the right to vote all of the stock so assigned at all meetings of stockholders, andthat in the event ofthe death, inability, disability, resignation or refusal to act of any ofthe trustees, the title ofthe stock should vest in the remaining trustees, and the vacancy be filled by an elec- tion by the Board of Directors. THE STOCK IN THE POOL. The three trustees elected to receive the pooled stock were Hugh Rogers, Francis E. Nipher and Isaiah G. W. Steadman, and following their election the stockholders present signed the pooling contract and surrendered their stock tothe pool. The signing stockholders and the stock represented in the pool were as follows: Dr. I. G. W. Steadman, 35 shares: Dr. Kos- suth Morgner, 24 shares; Ewing Hill, 20 shares; Dr. Wellington Adams, 17 shares; Webb M. Samuel, 11 shares; Prof. F. Nipher, 10 shares; J. C, Somer- ville, 10 shares; Hugh Rogers, 10 shares; Charies F. Orthwein, 10 stares; Given Camp- bell, 9shares; Judge Upton Young, 9 shares; Hon. Seth W. Cobb, 5 shares; Gov. David R. Francis, 5 shares; estate of John Jackson, 5 shares; Slaughter, 5 shares; Quinette, 5 Shares. Total, 190 shares. This represents far more than a majority of the capital stock of the Adams Electric Co., which is $25,000 in 250 shares of $100 each. The articles of incorporation of the Adams Electric Railway Co. of Illinois were for- warded to Springfield, Ill., on Thursday, and upon the incorporation being authorized by the Secretary of State the company will or- ganize by the election of officers and direct- The office of the new company will be in the headquarters of the Engineers’ Club at the Washington University.

James Grant, under indictment for burglary in the second de- gree and larceny, was pefmitted to plead guilty to the charge of burglary and was sen- tenced to serve three years in the Peniten- tiary.

The Third Illinois Judicial District Con- ~ __- vention Goes to That City. MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC COMMIT- TEE IN EAST ST. LOUIS TO-DAY. A Notable Gathering of Southern Illinois Politicians—The Adventures of Louise Leweday—An Election to Settle the Question of Issuing School Bonds— Adjudged Insane—Belleville News.’ The Democratic Central Committee of the Third Judicial District of Illinois held a meet- ing to-day at the Martell House in East St. Louis to arrange: for a convention to be held prior to the judicial election next June. Vallee Harold of Bond County, Joseph Solomon of Perry County, Thomas E. Ford of Clinton County, J. H. Raible of Madison County, L. D. Turner of St. Clair County, D. W. Andrews of Marion County, J.J. An- derson of Washington County, William Erd of Monroe County and R. Sprigg of Randolph County compose the committee. All members were present. Chairman D.W.Andrews called the meeting to orderatila. m. Besides the members of thecommittee the following prominent Democrats were in attendance: Hon. G. Van Hoarebeeke and Hon. M. P. Murray of arlyle, Judge L. M. Kagy of Salem, Hon. M. G. Dale, and Judge B. R. Burroughs of Edwardsville, Hon. Alex Hope of Alton, Hon. Alonzo 8. Wilderman of Belleville, ex-Con- gressman William Hartzell of €hester. The proceedings of the meeting were brief. There was no fight on the date, but some discussion ensued when the committee undertook to name the place where the convention shall be held. East St. Louis wanted the convention, but the representatives of the city of Centralia, in Marion County, were after it also, and carried their point before the committee. The con- vention will be held at Centralia, March 12. County Committees were instructed to select delegates not later than March 7. The representation was figured on the basis of one delegate for every 300 votes cast for Cleveland in 1888 and one for each fraction over 150. This gives St. Clair County 21 delegates, Madison County 17, Randolph County 9, Marion County 8, Clinton County 7, Wash- ington County 6, Monroe County 6, Perry County, 6,and Bond County, 4. The nominations to be made by this county are three candidates for Circuit Judge of the Third Judicial District of Illinois, Judge William H. Snyder of St. Clair County, Judge Benjamin R. Burroughs of Madison County and Judge George W. Wall of Perry County, whose terms expire next June, are the retiring officials. Judge Snyder and Judge Burroughs are candidates. for re- nomination, and Judge Wall is supposed to be, though he.is not making an active fight for the place. Judge Snyder is opposed in his own county by Hon. Alonzo 8S. Wilderman of Belleville, formerly Master in Chancery. In Madison County Hon. Alex Hope of Alton opposes Judge Burroughsof Edwardsville. Other candidates so faran- nounced are Hon. I. Van Hoarebeeke and Judge M. P. Murray of Clinton County, and Hon, William Hartzell of Ran- dolph County. In St. Clair County the fight for nomination will be very inter- esting. It is conceded that one of the three men named will be from this county. Judge Snyder, who seeks renomination, has grown old on the bench, having served eighteen years in this circuit. His opponent, Mr. Wilderman,is a middle-aged man. He is known as a brilliant lawyer and has hosts of friends. Knowing ones point to him as the probably successful man. The district is Democratic by a good majority and a place on the ticket means certain election. SHE HAD ADVENTURES. Chief of Police Walshof EastSt. Louis re- ceived a telegram this morning dated at Du- quoin and signed by Julius Leweday, who asks for information concerning his daughter, Louise Leweday, who is by him supposedto be inthiscity. Thurs- day night a girl who gave tne name of Louise Loderick lodged at the police station. In all probability she is the girl referredto in the telegram. She applied at the station for lodg- ing early Thursday evening and was provided with the best accommodations the place af- fords, The police drew from hera very in- teresting tale of her adventures since she left home. She said she resided at Duquoin and had left that place Thursday morning on a Catiro Short Line train for East St. Louis. The purpose of her visit tothis city was to meeta young man whom she found at the Relay Depot upon her arrival here. She did not give the name of the young man, Dut _s§ said he was a railroader. He took her to a boarding-house, but the landlady re- fused to allow her to remain there and he returned with her to the Relay Depot. There he left her, promising to return as soon as he found lodgings for her, but he failed to come back and she was forced to apply at the police station for shelter. Early yester- day morning she left the station and was not seen during the day by the police. Upon receiving the telegram from Julius Leweday this morning Chief Walsh instructed Detect- ive Kinney to look up the girl. The officer ascertained that she had left East St. Louis on a Cairo Short Line train during the forenoon of yesterday, and learned from the conductor that she had stopped at Pinckneyville, a small town near Duauoin andinthe same county. The fact that ner father telegraphed to East St. Louis this morning to find her is evidence that she did not return home last night. She was poorly clad and not particularly prepossess- ing. AN ELECTION IN PROGRESS. An election to decide the question of issuing school bonds is in progressin East St. Louis to-day. The proposition being balloted upon is to issue bonds for $50,000 to purchase the Howe Institute and remodel it ‘(for school purposes. A printed circular signed by the President and five members of the Board of Education recommend, that the issue be authorized. The indications are that the vote will be very light. ADJUDGED INSANE. Stephen Rooney, the demented man who has lately caused considerable trouble at his home in East St. Louis, as well as at the Little Rolling-mill, was adjudged in- sane yesterday in the County Court and ordered to be confined in the Anna Asylum, He appears to be almost if not quite rational on ordinary topics, but plainly shows dementia when the subject of boilers and machinery is broached.

Alexander Douglas, pastor of the Woodworth flock at Fourteenth and Lucas place, is very much concerned over the ser- ious charges made against his moral charac... ter by Messrs. Ahle and Wheeldon, two former workers in his congregation, The fight seems to be developing into a highly personal warfare. Rev. Douglas sends the following card to the Post-DISPATCH: In the article in the Post-DisPATCH of Jan. 27, which denounced me, Idemanded names, numbers, times, places, facts and figures. I have waitefl patiently for their reply and evidence for several daysin vain. I now repeat my demands. I insist and urge upon them to present atonce the proof of the serious charges against my moral character. When the time comes if necessary I can prove that every one of these assertions are malicious false- hoods. Rev. Douglas also charges that Mr. Wheel- don has been collecting money for the new Woodworth Tabenacle without being author- izedtodo the same. The original petition for funds authorized by Mrs. Woodworth shows that the collections, as fast as made must be deposited with a well-known trust company. This, charges Rey. Douglass, has not been done. Mr. Ahle was seen in reference to the de- mand for ‘‘times, places, facts and figures,’’ and in answer to questions said: ‘‘The case is now in the hands of Mrs. Woodworth. She has the papers, and I will give no more to the public than what they already know. Douglas can do what he pleases, but his talk of innocense will be dispelied when the full facts are made known. The half has not been published. If Mrs. Woodworth does not care to makethe matter public,. well and good. She has full charge of the case now. Yes, she is expected here Monday, when the taking of oral evidence will most prebably begin. Wait and all the facts will be given to the public.’’ Gaylord, Blessing & Co., 307 Olive Street.

The Sisters of St. Joseph in this city are beginning a movement in behalf of the In- dian Mission School at Keshena, Wis., which was recently destroyed by fire. The school was under the care of the Franciscan order, and the Sisters of St. Joseph had charge of the girls’ department. It was burned to the ground, andatotal loss of about $5,000 re- sulted, all the provisions, bedding, clothing, etc., being destroyed. The school is run un- der contract with the Government, and the loss by the fire falls largely upon the religious orders having : i charge. The Sisters of St. Joseph in Keshena have issued acall for aid to all the sister houses throughout the country, and a gener- ous response should answer their appeal.

TAUBENEOK: THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR IS NOT THE EX-CONVICT ROGERS. What the Visit of the Committee to the Ohio Penitentiary Disclosed—How the Big Three Propose to Settle the Sena- torial Contest—No More Ballots Will be Taken Until Monday. CoLtumsus, O., Jan. 31.—The select commit- tee of the Illinois Legislature to investigate the Taubeneck case metat the Penitentiary this morning: They called the former guards, managers, employes and contractors to identify Taubeneck,who was present, with Will H, Rogers, a paroled convict. William Donohue, Contractor Klote and others testi- | fled positively that Rogers was shorter, had lighter hair and was not inthe room, Asa clincher to the truth he was taken to Deputy Warden’s office and measured. The measurement showed him to be three inches taller than the convict, Rogers. He declared the whole trouble grew out of a per- sonal matter between himseif and the editor of the paperin his county. The committee made its report exonerating Mr. Taubeneck. Everybody present was unanimous in his favor. AT SPRINGFIELD. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. 81.—The seats in both the House and Senate are mostly empty to-day, the members having paired and gone home. There is nothing new in the situation. The F. M. B. A. men now seem to think that Streeter stands a chance of election. Every- thing will be dormant from now until next Tuesday, when the ballotting will most prob- ably be commenced in earnest in the hope that a breach will be. made in the ranks of some of the parties. Mr. Cockrell one of the farmers, proposes that the Houses meetin joint session Tuesday and ballot day and night until a Senator is elected. ‘‘If the Democrats and Republicans will agree with us,’’ said Mr. Cockrell, ‘‘we will have a Sen- ator elected before the joint assembly of next Tuesday adjourns.’ WHAT STREETER SAYS. Mr. Streeter when interviewed said that he was ready to withdraw from the race as soon as some one was found who favored the farmers and would be acceptable to either of the stronger parties. He says that he has al- ways been ready and willing to withdrgw from the race as soon as some one is found whocan poll a sufficient number of votes to be elected. The Taubeneck Investigating Committee left for Columbus, O., to investigate the charges preferred against the Alliance mem- ber by a St. Louis morning paper. Mr. Taubeneck left with the committee. The gen- tlemenare expected to feturn and makea report on Tuesday. The gentleman most affected still insists that the paper which has published these damaging charges .must prove them, SAID TO BE BOODLE IN IT. The rumor, apparently well-founded,comes from Washington that Quay and Dudley a short time ago raised a big.pile of money and forwarded it in possession of a trusted agent to Springfield. The agent has returned, and it is said that his boodle failed to influence the necessary three members. The Demo- crats are accordingly more hopeful than they have been for some time. To the honor of the farmer members let it be said that they would not accept the glittering gold. Congressman Frank Lawler has made a personal appeal to Representative Schaffe to vote for Palmer, but Schaffe says that he can- not go back on the g. o. p. He will vote for Oglesby as long as his brother Republicans do. Schaffe was president of the Miners’ State Organization during the big strike two years ago, when Lawler headeda movement to coliect provisions for the strikers. ASKED TO VOTE FOR PALMER.

The bills creating a State Board of Pharmacy and a State Board of Medical. Examiners were passed by the Senate.

PART AFFECTED. FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. SUIT BROUGHT BY MRS. EDGAR SALTUS AGAINST HER HUSBAND. What the Novelist Says in Regard to the Allegations Made by His Wife—De- tective Work in the Household and Its Revelations. New YORK, Jan. 81.—The novels of Mr. Edgar Saltus have probably not attracted more attention than will the revelations about to be made in the suit which his wife brings against him for absolute divorce. The suit was filed on Dec. 10, 1889, alleging edultery, and naming as co-réspondent a young lady friend ofthe household and one of its frequent inmates. She is the daughter of Mr. Willlam G. Read, a well-known and wealthy business man of New York, and he is, of course, known to nearly every reager of contemporaneous American novels. The first publication of the facts aroused the widest attention and gossip throughout the country, but fora year nothing has been heard of the case. It appears, however, that it has been passing through the regular legal stages, and that numerous hearings have been had before Referee Theodore Connolly at his office in Temple Court. Lockwood Hill is counsel for the wife and John H. McIntyre for the husband. THE CONFESSION DENIED. It was stated at the beginning of the suit that Mr. Saltus had made aconfession of his guilt and had fled to Europe. A few days after the publication of the summons Mr. Saltus returned to this city. He denied that he had made a confession of any kind, nature or description. He statedthat he had gone abroad on a purely business matter, and he added that in leaving the city it was without the faintest suspicion that his wife had any such step in contemplation. The proceedings before the referee have been held in camera, but Mr. Saltus discussed his defense and other features of the case yesterday with that unrestrained freedom which, it has been charged, is one quality of his novels. **T was taken ill In London,’’ he said, ‘‘and the fact of my illness was cabled to the news- papers here. As Isubsequently learned, the initial proceedings were then begun. It was supposed that I was too ill to travel, and that the suit would go by default. A friend was good enough to wire me what was going on, and in spite of the opposition of my physician, Dr. Butler, whose address, by the way, is Duke street, Portland square, I took the next ship home. Tosay that I was surprised at Mrs. Saltus’ actionisto put it mildly. We parted on the best possible terms, Mrs. Saltus even, exacting a promise that I should return in time to pass Christmas with her. When I did return, Mrs. Saltus wrote me a very pret- ty note in which she said it was all her fath- er’s doing, amdas for herself she fancied I would be happier asa bachelor. It was con- siderate of Mrs. Saltus to put it that way, and Icould not but admire her taste and tact; at the sametime, as her father had selected as co- respondents two entirely innocent young ladies of unblemished reputation, it was my duty to interpose an answer denying the al- legations of the complaint and wait the action of the court.’’ SERVANTS’ TESTIMONY. Edgar Saltus did not have long to walt. Referee Theodore Connolly was appointed to take testimony de bene esse and his former servants appeared before the referee. They testified that duringthe time they were in the home of Saltuses they were employed by one of the plaintiff’s relatives to keepa diary of his movements, to read his letters, listen at keyholes, to preserve the scraps of state of things had, it appeared, been going on for over a year anda half, during which 7 _— ; ne A ee I a au +) f 4 “ 4 a model to young men. says, approve of certain worksof fiction woolen bandage saturated with Pond’s Extract, and protected by an outer wrapping. — IF THE LUNGS ARE SORE, take a teaspoonful of Pond’s Ex- tract four or five times daily.

The Consolidated Mutual Fire Insurance Co. of Illinois. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 81.—The Consolidated Mutual Fire Insurance Co., with offices in this city, made an assignment in the County Court this morning to its Vice-President, George H,. Richey. On its face the failure appears to be a very bad one, and the schedule of assets is but $13,295, while the liabilities are an even $100 ,000. The officers of the company and its attorneys claim that the collapse is due almost solely to what they term the arbitrary and unwarranted rulings of State Auditor C. W. Pavey, whom they say has apparently de- termined todrive the mutuals out of exist- ence. The company was organized about ten months ago, succeeding the Consolidated Fire Insurance Co., a concern that had been in ex- istence about four years, The company since its organization has donea big busi- ness, it is claimed.

Trades Already Overcrowded and Country Boys Should Not Be Lured tothe City to Become Mechahics—Reply of the Friends ofthe Measure. The stonemasons’ and stonecutters’ socie- ties have begun an opposition to the plans of the Mechanics’ Exchange and propose to de- feat the bill now before the legislature of this State to establish a manual training school in which boys could learn the trades. This is the first opposition manifested against the bill. There are manual training schools for young mechanics in nearly all the large East- ern cities operated under the wing of the Mechanics’ Exchange. It was the scheme of the Mechanics’ Exchange of this city to es- tablish a school and operate it after the new Mechanics’ Exchange building was con- structed. The stonecutters and masons ob- ject to this for various reasons,and have pre- pared a petition to be presented tothe Legig- lature at once setting forth their objections. It is as follows: THE PETITION. We protest against the enactment into law of the bill now under consideration to establish a manual training school at the expense of the taxpayers. We do not think students in such an institution would obtain enough practical information and skill in the trades to benefitthem. While they might (as is the design) become handy enough in the use of tools to be invaluable for bosses’ purposesin time of trouble. Weknowthe employers’ cant about the to be the ver- jest hypocrisy, used only to cover ulterior schemes and the most glaring insult to the in- telligence, as they wish only to more completely crowd the already overcrowded occupations. The widespread tendency of the people to concentrate in the cities and the vast improvements in machinery * has rendered the earning of a livelihood in the trades extremely precarious, and we think that an appro- priation by the State to enable the numerous uneim- ployed and superfluous tradesmen to go back to their occupations in the country would be wiser than to encourage the farmers’ boys to desert their more honorable, because more independent employments, for the fierce competition and trials of the city. The petition is signed by Frank Noonan, President of the Stonemasons’ Society; John Lysaght, Vice-President; P. D. Costello, Sec- retary; James Auston, Secretary Stonecut- ters’ Society, and P. J. Sullivan, President Stonecutters’ Society. FRIENDS OF THE MEASURE SCARED The foregoing protest was shown to several of the leading members of the Mechanics’ Exchange this morning, all of whom ex- pressed surprise atthe action taken by the stonemasons. Mr. Henry Feurbach said: ‘These men are working against their best interests—against the best interests of their sons. They wish, it seems, to force their children to go into the professions which are already overcrowded. This school is needed, and it will not injure the trades unions one whit. Good mechanics are in demand, and no complaint of lack of employment can be made. Therefore it is hard to see the ground upon which this opposition is made. This school would be a good thing for mechanics’ sons, who now have no opportunity, owing to the regula- tions imposed by the unions, to learn the trade of their choice. They cannot get an apprenticeship, and therefore drift into the professions, schools for which are to be found in all parts of the State. Notone school in which to learn the trade of a mechanic isto be found, however. The people who are direct- ly interested in this school derive no benefit at the present time from the $217,000 spent in educating teachers, farmers and other branches.We pay our proportion oftaxes,and should not be denied thisschool. All foreign countries recognize the necessity of giving the youth of the nation some practical knowledge of mechanism along with other studies. Several Eastern States have recog- nizedthe necessity of such institutions, and have accordingly established them. There is no reason why Missouri shall not do the same. As to overcrowded occu- cupations, I can say without fear ofa well grounded contradiction that there is more room for mechanics in the various branches than anything else. The fjagricul- tural interests of the State demanded a school, and the result was the model institu- tion at Columbia. The mechanical trades should receive a like recognition. It is my opinion that the Stonemasons’ Union, or any other like body that fights the bill, is working against its own best, material interests.’’ THE SCHOOL BADLY NEEDED, Mr. Joseph L. Guedry said that the school would not have become a necessity if the trade unions had taken some other mode than the one in vogue to regulate the apprentice system. He contends that the regulations are entirely too arbitrary and act against the sons of the very men who put such rules into force. **For instance,’’ said he, ‘‘I have a son myself who. desires to become a bricklayer. It is impossible to get himan apprenticeship for the reason that each bossis allowed only two apprentices. These lucky ones are se- lected because of relation or some expected favor. Now,I give out a great amount of sub-contracting, yetit is impossible for me to get my own son a position as an apprentice. This school, should it be established, will do away with the first year or two of drudgery on the part of the learner. Thisis the time that is most dreaded by young men who contemplate learning a mechanical trade. It is nonsense to say that the labor market will be or is overcrowded. Good workmen can always get situations, and poor ones must take what they can get by working during the busy season. This is the case in all classes of occu- pations. ButI must say thatthe school is badly needed and that the stone masons are standing in their own light when they oppose it. They surely misunderstand the object of this proposed mechanics’ training school, as it would raise up young men who would be an honor to their unions and trades.’’ Mr. C. C, Weaver, an extensive contract- ing bricklayer, said that he was in favor of the school, provided the unions would not in- crease the number of apprentices allowed. He thought the unions should be legislated against, as they ‘‘are dictatingto a free born, independent, loving American peo- ple.’’ LABOR OPPOSITION FEARED. It wasthe generalfear that other unions would take up the matterand fightit. This, of course, would make the success of the measureWery doubtful Senator Miller, who represents the labor unions to acertain de- gree, is at present in favor of the measure, it is claimed by the committee headed by Mr. Feuerbach who visited Jefferson City this week. To show the need of such a school the factis cited that Messrs. Fred Able, David Collins and Henry Roach, all contractors, have been compelled to send their sons out of the State to a mechanical school. Shouldthe stonemasons be alone in their op- position, little isto be feared from their en- deavors, but should the otherlabor organi- vations in the city take up the matter, a »bit- ter fight may be expected.

O’C. ‘Tracy, Robert A. Campbell, Fielding Mansfield, Walter J. Blakely and David . H. Armstrong. The Republican Judges evaded the prop- osition by presenting another to the effect that, inasmuch as their Democratic brethren on the bench would not vote for a Repub- lican, no matter how: incorruptible and gen- erally competent he might be, they, the Re- publicans, would vote for a Democrat provided they were salisfied that he was ‘*‘well qualified to fill the place and that he would perform his duties with- out fear or favor, free from all political considerations of any kind, solely for the public good and in the interest of the due administration of justice, to which all of us are bound.’’ This communication was signed by Judges Klein and Fisher. The Democratic Judges retorted rather sharply to the insinuation that they placed party interests above public duty, and to the assumption on the part of the Republican judges that they, the Republicans, were the only ones possessed of a ‘‘lofty sense of pub- lic duty.’’ After this another baitlot was taken and two of the Republican judges voted for Col. Mans- field,one of the Democratic candidates,Judge Withrow, still voting for his favorite, John H, Fisse. Col. Mansfield won his title in the Union army, having commanded the Fifty-fourth Indiana Regiment during the rebellion. He is a native of Lexington, Ky., about 50 years old and located in St. Louis at the close of the war. He was in the wholesale hardware business for a time with Adolph Meier and afterwards was the head of the match manufactory of.F. Mansfield & Co. For several years he has taken an active in- terest in public affairs, and is well-known to the public. He will enter upon his new duties atonce, and if reappointed next May fora full term he will take an enumeration ofall the male citizens of the city Hable tojury service some time duringthesummer. He willthen require a force of thirty or forty men, but in the meantime will be allowed only one or two assistants, and these he has not as yet selected. His salary is $1,200 a year.

LOUIS ICE KING,” ARRESTED, Indictments Against Him for Fraud and Embezzlement, REMARKABLE TRANSACTIONS COSTING CHAS. P. CHOUTEAU NEARLY $50,000. ~ A $60,000 Indossement of ““Accommoda- tion\.Paper’”’’ Followed by Default, As- signment, Attachment, Judgment and Final Arrest—How the “Ice King’’ Was Dragged by a Cow and Lost $28,500 on the Streets—A Sensational Case. James A. Smith, Sr., President of the James A. Smith & Sons Ice & Fuel Co., and for more than forty years prominently and extensively identified with St. Louis business interests, was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Skidmore yesterday on capias warrants charging him with embezzlement and fraud. The defendant spent the night in the custody oof the officer, and at noon to-day was under surveillance in the office of the Sheriff at the Four Courts, The prosecuting witness in the actions against him is MreCharies P, Chouteau. Mr. Smith has already been indicted by the Grand Jury. The members of the January inquisition, which had been in session at the Four Courts since Jan. 6, on Wednesday rendered a final report. Mr. Charles P. Chou- teau, Mr, Pierre Chouteau and Mr. Valle Rey- burn had testified before the body and indict- ments for both embezzlement and fraud were drawn up and properly certified to the Crimi- nalCourt. In this way the delays of the Court of Criminal Correction are avoided. THE INDICTMENT FOR FRAUD. The indictment for fraud was as follows: The Grand-jury of the State of Missouri, within and forthe body of the cityof St. Louis, now herein court duly empaneled, sworn and charged, upon their oath present that James A. Smith, Sr., late of the city of St. Louis and State aforesaid, on the 9th day of February, in the year of our Lord 1889, at the city of St. Louis aforesaid, did, with intent to cheat and defraud, unlawfully and feloniously obtain from Charies P. Chouteau the name and signa- ture of him, the said Charles P. Chouteau, indorsed in writing upon the back of acertain. promissory note, which said promissory note was in the wor ds and figures following to-wit: $31,250.00. St. Louris, Mo.. Feb. 9, 1889. Nine months after date we promise to pay to the order of Charles P. Chouteau $31,250, at office, room 210, 'Change floor, Chamber of Commerce, St. Louis, Mo., value received. JAMES A, SMITH & Sons Ick & FUEL Co. Per JAMES A. SMITH, President. And which said promissory note was theretofore indorsed in writing as follows, to-wit: James A. Smith & Sons Ice & Fuel Co., James A. Smith, President; James A. Smith, dr., Seoretary; James A. Smith, Jr., Stephen L. Smith, which said name and signature of him, the said Charles P. Chou- teau, so obtained, as aforesaid, from him, the said Charles P. Chouteau, was the property of the said Charles P. Chouteau and was a valuable thing, to- wit, of the value of $31,250, by means and by use of a false and fraudulent representation, and state- ment, and by means and by use ofa deception anda false pretense, contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the State. THE INDICTMENT FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. The indictment for embezzlement charges that James A. Smith, Sr., late ofthe city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, on the 11th day of November, 1g89, at the city of 8t. Louis aforesaid, being then and there an officer, to-wit, the treasurer of the James A. Smith &SonsIce & Fuel Co., a corpora- tion duly created and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Dlinois and doing business in the city of St. Louis aforesaid, did then and there by virtue his said office of treasurer of said corporation, have, receive and take into his possession and under his care certain money and bank-notes in the sum of $30,000, lawful money of the United States of the value of $30,000; which said money and bank notes were then and there the property of and belonged to the said James A. Smith & Sons Ice & Fuel Co.,a corporation as aforesaid; and thatthe said James A. Smith, Sr., did then and there unlawfully, feloniously and fraudulently embezzle and convert to his own use the said money and bank notes without the assent of the owner thereof, to wit: The said James A. Smith & Sons Ice & Fuel Co., a cor- poration, as aforesaid, with the intent then and there feloniously and fraudulently to embezzie and convert to his own use the said money and bank- notes and to deprive the owner of the use thereof, contrary to the form of the statute in such case made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the State. Yesterday morning capias warrants were made out in the office of Clerk Pattison and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Tom Skidmore. During the afternoon Skidmore was down town, but could not locate Mr. Smith. Knowing that Mr. Smith’s custom was to take the Iron Mountain accom- modation for his home in Carondelet, he proceeded about 5 o’clock to the Union Depot. Smith, however, failed to putin an appearance and the officer went onto Carondelet. Learning at the de- fendant’s residence, on South Broadway, that he was still in the city, Skidmore waited. About 9o’clock Mr. Smith arrived, having takena South St. Louis electric car. The warrants wereatonce read and the defend- ant placed under arrest. Mr. Smith said nothing whatever in regard tothe charge, only remarking that it was hard to be taken away from home at, that hour of the night. At the prisoner’s earnest solicitation the deputy refrained from placing him in jailand spent the night with him in a down-town hotel, At 8 o0’clock this morning Mr. Smith was taken tothe Four Courts and given in charge of a deputy with instructions to remain behind the rail- ing in the Sheriff’s office. He was there seen by a representative of the POsT- DISPATCH, to whom he said: CAME AS A SURPRISE. ‘*‘I am more than surprised at this prosecu- tion. It is nothing more or less than a business complication and I cannot, for the life ofme, see why the Grand-jury should have returned these tndictments. Itis just this way—Mr.Chouteau went into the business with theidea of getting halfthe profits, We had financial reversesand hehas been un- willing to stand his share of theloss. At present Iam unable to give you many ofthe details of our transactions. The partnership was made for the summer of 1889, Mr. Chouteau agreed to purchase a half-interest in the concern of the James A. Smith &Sons Ice & Fuel Co., putting Into the business $31,250. We deposited in the bank as collateral two notes each for $31,250, and as fast as we were enabled to get any Money on hand we pald offthe indebtedness. Our of- fice was in room 210, Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Chouteau had his book-keeper, Mr. Tay- lor, always on hand, and in addition was rendered a monthly report of every pound of ice sold and every dollar collected. It wasa bad year for business, however, and our losses were heavy. Not only were we compelled to sell at a loss, but when the season closed we hadon hand an immense quantity of ice, which was then of little or no value. The notes became due and Mr. Chouteau objected brought suit oy mee | On the judgment for . obtained, he levied on all of my property and | literally ruined me, He tied affairs that I to realize on anything and am now a bank- rupt. If Mr. Chouteau had only time I could have ma realized of mon inno rer ™]0N GRAVE OHARGES I ha Buee : ve for ve ' | ~ ge ave. Dev ne shonorable or criminal act, and this man seeks so to disgrace me. It is cer- tainly sad.’’ MR. CHOUTEAU SEEN. Immediately following the news of the ar- rest of Mr, Smith a reporter of the Post- DISPATCH called on Mr. Charles P. Chouteau for a statement of the business troubles lead- ing to the Grand-jury indictments for fraud and embezzlement against the former ‘‘Ice King,’’ as Smith was known for years. Mr. Chouteau was in his office in the Gay Building, and said: **T did not know that Smith. had been arrested. I presume, of course, the arrest was made upon charges arising from his dealings with me, as I have testified before the Grand-jury as to such dealings. I have nointerest in the matter at present, however, as I have turned my claim against Smith over to my son, Pierre Chouteau. For the correct particulars of those dealings I would refer you to my lawyer, Mr. Valle Reyburn, who has all the papers, containing dates, amount involved, etc., and a full history of the case.’’ Lawyer Reyburn was seen and his story of Smith’s dealings with Mr. Chouteau, result- ing in heavy financial loss to the latter gen- tleman, brings to lightoneof the most re- markable series of ‘‘business’’ transactions imaginable. The peculiar nature of Smith’s methodsin the Chouteau matter were par- tially ventilated by the papers at the time of the failure of the Jas. A. Smith & Son’s Ice & Fuel Co., but the decidedly interesting de- tails have never before been: published. **In March, 1889,’’ said the attorney, ‘‘ow- ing to representations of his business made to Mr. Chouteau by Smith, Mr. Chouteau in- dorsed two notes for the Jas. A. Smith Ice & Fuel Co. aggregating over $60,000. These notes were afterward negotiated by James A. Smith, Sr.,one being discounted by the Franklin Bank and one by the State Savings Association, now the State Bank of St. Louis, the notes being made for $31,250 each. They matured Nov. 12, 1889, and at that time, some payments having been made on themin the meantime, there was a balance due on the total amount of nearly $50,000, being about equally divided on the two notes. On the date of maturity the notes were protested for non-payment, and Mr. Chouteau immediately began attach- ment proceedings. On the following day, Oct. 13, 1889, an assignment of the James A. Smith &Sons Ice & Fuel Co. was made in Belleville, Ill., the company having been or- ganized under the laws of Illinois. The as- signment was only of the eorporation itself, there being no assignment of the three Smiths, father and sons, who formed the company, sothat whether they were solvent or insolvent did not ap- pear, and nothing could be obtained from them. Some little money was realized from the attachment of property belonging tothe company, butit was extremely difficult to find anything or evento get into the com- pany’s safe foratime,as for several days following the attachment proceedings the Smiths were invisible. .IItappears that the necessary papers forthe assignmentof the company had been prepared for some time before the twonotes matured, so that the crash was evidently expected and gotten ready for. A REMARKABLE FAILURE. Now comes a remarkable feature of the case. James A. Smith, Sr., Just prior tothe assignment, had received from various sources large amounts of money, aggregat- ing $28,500, part of which were assets of the company. None of _jhis money was found after the assignment, and in his evi- dence given before Special Commissioner George W. Stewart inthe courseof the in- vestigation following the attachment pro- ceedings Smith tolda wonderful story ac- counting for its disapperrance. **He claimed that on Noy. 11, 1889, the very day before the two notes fell due, he lost the entire amount on the streets of St. Louis. The money, according to his story, was in a large wallet in the inside pocket of his vest, and was in bills of the following denomina- tions: twenty-seven bills of $1,000 each, and three of $00each. Smith in his testimony stated that he took this money from the safe on the morning of November 11, and leaving the office of the company in the Chamber of Commerce building, started for the Safe De- posit Co. on Sixth and Locust streets. Before arriving there he found that it was too early to leave the money in a Safe Deposit vault, as the doors of that concern were not then open. Having some business to attend toata sawplling establishment on Chouteau avenue, he went down to that place, where he paid out some money forthe company, He then returned, intending to deposit the $28,500 with the Safe Deposit Co., but upon arriving at Fourth and Olive on his way back, found that the wallet had been lost from his inside vest pocket. ‘*As an incidental feature that remarkable week, and per- haps as also explaining how a large, well-filed wallet could work itself out of a man’s inside vest pocket and fall to the ground without his being aware of it, Smith said that on the preceding day, Sunday Nov. 10, 1889, while leading a cow to his home in South St. Louis, the cow ran away with him, the rope by wich he .was holding the cow back broke, and he was thrown to the ground with great violence, receiving serious injuries upon his head, and that in conse- quence he was suffering greatly on Monday, Nov. 1l, when the money was lost from his pocket. A SERIES OF STRANGE EVENTS. **T spoke of the remarkable events of the week in which the Smith company failed. Let me run over those events. On Sunday, Nov. 10, according tothe story of James A. Smith, Sr., the cow ran away with him, dragging him and injuring his head. On Monday, Nov. 11, the $28,500 was lost on the streets of St. Louis from his pocket, accord- ing to his story. **On Tuesday, Nov. 12, the two notes went to protest at the Franklin Bank and the State Savings Association, and the attachment pro- ceedings were begun. On Wednesday, Nov. 13, the Jas. A. Smith & Sons’ Ice & Fuel Co. filed the assignment papers in Belleville, Ill., all preparations for that assignment having been made beforehand. And on Thursday, Nov. 14. Jas. A. Smith, Sr., in the midst of all this apparent wreck and ruin of the business, was married to a young of ‘wife. That certainly makes a remarkable week. LEGAL PROGRESS OF THE CASE. ‘‘There have been other legal proceedings following those of attachment. A sult on one of the notes was taken by Smith on a change of venue from St. Louis to Clayton. The evi- dence brought out by that suit, a great deal of which is covered in my story above, was of such a nature that the jury could hardly con- sider it seriously, and a judgment for $20,245 was given in favor of Mr. Charles P. Chouteau on June 28, 1890. In the second suit on the other notea judgment was ren- dered in the St. Louis Circuit Court in favor of Mr. Chouteau for $28,269 on Nov. 10, 1890, so that the attachment proceedings have ripened into judgments on both notes. ‘*] must decline to state how the matter came before the Crand-jury. Mr. Charles P. Chouteau, Mr. Pierre Chouteau and myself have testified before that body in the case, OTHER DEVELOPMENTS PROBABLE. Mr. Reyburn seemed 30 think that the two sons, Jas.A.,Jr., and Stephen L.Smith,would be involved in the matter as it now ftands, so : 3 ey gieg : 7 i i } g g ae io ay At a wo Se ow stot EE Y : II , ap e fsa es. A CHANGE PROBABLE IN THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF SHIPPING FREIGHT. How the East Side Roads Could Handle Business on This Side of the River— Unfair Discrimination Against This City in Rates. At least one great reform in railroad ship- ping promises to grow out of the war in- augurated by the Jacksonville Southeastern road. Small and despised by {ts competitors as this little road is, it has nevertheless been the cause of creating a movement which is apt to prove of great benefit to the city. That is the direct billing of freight through from the East to St. Louls instead of to East St. Louis. . This road has not been wholly responsible for this reform, but it has brought matters to a focus and promises to hasten. the consum- mation aga plan which has long been desired by the St. Louis merchants. Yesterday after- noon about twenty prominent Sst. Louis wholesale grocers held a meeting at 507 North Second street for the purpose of endeavoring to get the railroads to build freight ware- houses on this side and bill freight through to this city instead of merely billing it to East St. ‘Louis and making that point their terminus. In this way § they will not only secure the recogni- tion of St. Louis as a terminus and the ben- efit of the advertising which now goes to East St. Louis, but they will also avoid much delay and have their freight brought to where itcan be handled more conveniently and to better advantage. THE GROCERS’ RESOLUTIONS. At their meeting yesterday afternoon the grocers passed resolutions commending to the favorable consideration of every railroad having a terminus at East St. Louis. and having the prosperity of St. Louis in view, the action of the Jacksonville Southeastern Line in making rates from St. Louis the same as from East St. Louis. The resolutions state that this is a simple act of justice on the part ofthe Jacksonville Southeastern line which is highly appreciated and recognized as the first break in the line of discrimination against St. Louis trade from which it has suf - fered solong and so much, and that a con- cession similar tothat of the Jacksonville Southeastern is demanded of other lines. St. Louis has beena way station too long, the resolutions state, and the bridge arbitrary is denounced and justice for St. Louis tis de- manded. A committee was appointed by the meeting to present copies of the preamble and resolutions to the local managers of rail- road lines terminating in East St. Louis. RATES FROM ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO. Assistant General Freight Agent Nixon of the Jacksonville line makes some interesting comparisons of the rates enjoyed by St. Louis and Chicago to llinois points. Chicago is 215 miles from Jacksonville, while St. Louis is only ninety-two miles, yet prior to last Mon- day the rates from East St. Louis to Jackson- ville were: First class, 37.6 cents; second class, 30.55 cents; third class, 24.62 cents; fourth class, 18.33 cents; fifth class, 14.66 cents. The rates from St. Louis cost the shipper, Mr. Nixon says, about 5 cents more on the first three classes and 4cents on the next two,making rates from St.Louis proper: First class, 42.6c; second class, 35.55c; third class, 29.62c; fourth class, 22.33c; fifth class, 18.66c. Since the publication of the Jackson- ville Southeastern Line tariff, the rates from their freight depot, corner Main and Ashley streets St. Louis proper, are 32c, 27c, 22c, 18c, ry reduction of 10.6c, 8.55c. 7.62c, 4.83c, The rates from Chicago to Jacksonville, which have not been changed, are: First class, 47c; second class, 38c; third class, 29c; fourth class, 20c; fifth class,lic, or 4.4c higher than St. Louis on first class, 3.45c higher than St. Louis on second class; .62c lower than St. Louls on third class; 2.33c lower on fourth class and 3.66c lower on fifth class. Springfield is 18 miles from Chicago and ninty-six miles from St. Louts. Prior to Monday rates from East St. Louis to Spring- feld were: First-class, 38.43c; second-class, 81.2c; third-class, 24.9c; fourth-class, 18.8c; fifth-class, 15c, Add to this the cost of trans- fer and the old rates from St. Louis proper approximate: First-class, 48.54c; second- class, 86.2c; third-class, 29.9c; fourth-class, 22.8c; fifth-class, 19c. The rates from Jack- sonville Southeastern line depot, Main and Ashley, St. Louis to Springfield are now: First-class, 32c ; second-class, 27c; third-class. 22c ; fourth-class, 18c; fifth-clast, l4c; a reduc- tion of 11.54c, 9.2c, 7.9c, 4.8c, 5c. The rates from Springfield to Chicago on these classes were: First-class, 47c, second- class, 38c; third-class, 29c; fourth-class, 20c; fifth-class, 15c, being higher than the former rates from St. Louls, 3.40c¢ on first-class, 1.88¢ on second-class, 0.9c higher on third, 2.8¢ lower on fourth-class, and 4c lower on fifth- class. HOW IT CAN BE DONE. A gentleman connected with a leading Kast side road when asked about the practicability of billing goods through to St. Louls,re- marked: ‘‘My individual opinion is that it can be done, though I do not. care to speak officially on the subject. In fact. my personal experience in railroads is that the roads can do anything they wish to do. I never knew a rule or a law which they could not get around if they wanted todoso. It is my personal belief not only that the roads on the east side of the river can build warehouses over “here and bill freight through to this city instead of East St. Louis, but it is my belief that this will be done. Of course it could not be done immediately. The roads at present have not facilities for handling busi- ness on this side. Thes willhave to have freight warehouses here. They will have these things, however, within a few years. What do the purchases of land in the north end of the city by § the Wabash, * Pennsylvania, Louisville & Nashville, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Jacksonville-Southeastern lines mean? Why, that these roads all mean to build freight ware-houses on this side of the river and bill through to St. Louis instead of East St. Louls and it will only be a question of time until all other roads do likewise. They will have to. At first it would be considerable of an prope side of the river and the roads will have to buy their property right down town where they will be convenient to the shippers. could do as they do In Chicago—do their switching co-operatively. They could employ one set of the business all Ab z feb ‘ j | Pe 2 HI ip Sec8 € REees ~~ : e: sd 's e ae? tn S ne * 2 a a ‘ te pa .

The o make the business come under rce ments from points in ness, asitiscalled. Anything shipped points the other side of Iilinois would be in- terstate business anyhow. **The trouble is,’’ remarked General Man- ager Hays of the Wabash, ‘‘that mahy mer- chants down town prefer having their freight shipped to East St. Louis, asitis more con- venient to them than it would be on this side away in the Mill Creek Valley, where the most of the ware- - houses would naturally be. It would be im- possible to do the business here at present, as we have not the warehouse capacity here, and it is dificult and expensive to get ground properly located. Still the thing could be done, of course, but not until the roads get warehouses on this side. It would render their East side places valueless, or practically so, but once located here and the necessary gvound acquired the business could be done on this side as wellasontheother. I donot know, however, that there has been any general desire forthe change.’” — The Commissioners’ Powers. Speaking of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the new Western Traffic Association, the Chicago Times of yesterday - Says: ‘*‘The announcement that the terri- torial boundaries of existing associations had been adopted by the commissioners was not only corroborated yesterday, but it was said by one who is on the inside that at the advisory board meeting in New York consisting of the President and one member of the Board of Directors from each line represented, a set of instruc- tions had been adopted and signed directing . not only how the territory in the association should be divided, but by whom the several districts should be officered. The instruc- tions went further. They cover the whole plan of operation in detail, and leave noth- ing for the lMeutenants, the six com- missioners — Messrs. Walker, Finley , Midgley, Faithorn, Smith and Vining—to do but put the plan into operation. ‘‘*The commissioners have nothing to do,’’ said the informant, ‘‘but follow the instructions given by the presidents.’’ These instructions have never been given to the newspapers and have never been made public. The agreement given to the press was all that the public knew about the mat- ter. The meeting of trafic managers two weeks ago wasaruse. It was not intended that they should do anything save meet and formally transmit the completion of the ar- rangement to the six commissioners who had not only been chosen by the presidents, but whose jurisdiction and duties had been defined in the secret instructions. The transfer of Chairman Smith from the transcontinental to the transmissouri divi- sion and the lopping off of certain lines from the Pacific coast territory and adding them to the Missouri River territory was a part of the plan which had been reduced to type long before the date of the last meeting in New York. The work of the commissioners is, there- : fore, reduced to details. * * * Another funny feature in the arrangement is the clause retaining the existence of former asso- ciations for the benefit of those lines that re- fused to join the Western Traffic Association. In other words, the Western States Freight and Passenger Associations are to be kept up for the benefit of the Alton,the Maple Leafand the Memphis systems./ The association will be a wheel within a wheel. Bach chairman will be a commissioner and each commis- sioner will be at the head of one of the old or- ganizations in order to keep the reiuctant roads in line. A Wonderland.

An Old, Gray Haired Man Asks the Police to Take Charge of Him. ‘‘Captain, I guess [I am crazy. There is something wrong with my head, and I am afraid I will do some harm. Iwant to be locked up.’’ It was a pitiful scene. The gray haired man, of erect form and dignified mien, was in the office of Chief of Police Harrigan at the Four Courts about 5 o’clock yesterday after- noon. He was first seen by Private Secretary Fred LIaicas, who noticed the strange way in which he every few sec- onds put his hands tohis head and groaned as if in great agony. By close questioning for fully half an hour a few facts were, obtained which tended to show the man’s identity. His name was John Mueller, 52 years old and a native of Bavaria. At the outbreak ofthe warhe was employed asa printer and enlisted la the First Missouri Cavalry under Ool.

The Helfenstein Property to Be Cut Up— Sales and Public Imp: ents in Tyler Place—King’s Highway, Opposite Tower Grove, Sells at $35 a Foot. A local syndicate of St. Louis bitsiness men | residing at Webster Groves have formed a land corporation for the purchase, develop- ment and sale of nearly 200 broad acres, in- cluding the old, well-known and handsomely improved Helfenstein Park property. One of the chief promoters of this enterprise -{s WN. D. Thompson, a son-in-law of John P. Helfenstein, deceased. He and the parties interested with him propose to subdivide the Helfenstein property and convert itgin connection with other contig- uous bodies of land, into building sites suit- able for suburban residence places. The plan proposed for the improvement of the property is quite an extensive one. It pro- vides for a place laid out in park style with -winding drives and footways which will dl- vide the land into very convenient and pret- tily shaped building lots of fifty feet front to an acre or more in dimensions. The whole area is to be sewered and provided with an ample supplyof water by the Meramec Heights Water Power & Electric Light Co. . This corporation is also to supply the new subdivision with electric lights for illuminat-: ing the avenues and for domestic purposes. Pelford drives are to be made through the property, and allthe lotsare to have gran- itoid walks in front of them. Jackson avenue crosses the property over the Missouri Pacific tracks and at that point it is intended to construct a-cosy passenger depot for the especial accommodation of per- sons who are likely to buy home sites in the subdivision. Parties living near this pro- posed new station,or who own property close to it will be much pleased and benefited by the general plan of improvement, as such betterments will not only afford adaitional facilities and conveniences for reaching the city, but add materially to the desirability and value of their possessions. These plans are not generally known. They have been kept secret as possible to enable the projectors of the enterprise to obtain all the land wanted at reasonable prices be- fore the ideas of parties they wanted to buy from became too inflated asto prospective values. It is stated, however, that Charles Parsons’ Jand, seventy-five acresin extent, has been actually purchased and the Jackson tract of forty-five acres also. In addition to this areliable informant says options secur- ing the purchase of other properties extend- ing weston both sides of the railway tothe Niedringhaus home place at Glendale Station have already been obtained. From this state- ment of the negotiations it appears that all the acre property weil adapted to subdivision on both sides ofi the Missouri Pacific as far west as Glendale pas been bought up. AT THE WEST END OF TOWER GROOE PARK. Asalie of 100x190 feet of ground on the west side of King’s highway, that is the east line of Reber place between Magnolia and Columbia avenues, was madeby Rutledge & Horton at $35 a foot to Otto Stark, who pur- ,-chased the ground. on speculation. The property fronts Tower Grove Park onthe west King’s highway, 100 feet wide has been fully improved and paved with a Telford roadway and granitoid walks. The Union Depot Elec- tric line on Arsenal street is within four blocks of this ground and the prospects are that the Missouri Railway Co. will extend its line from Shaw avenue west along Magnolia witha terminus in front of the property. With such excellent pubiic improvements directly facing one of the finest parks inthe city, the property, now readily accessible by one first-class electric railway, with good prospects for another, ought to sell readily at $100 a foot, and it is predicted that there will not be a lot there that can be bought for less than $50 a foot by next fall. SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR TYLER PLACE. Contracts are about being let for the full improvement of Castleman avenue, extend- ing east and west 4,000 feet through Tyler place, from Grand avenue on the east toShaw avenue on the west. The plan of develop- ment suggests a sewer, water and gas mains, a Telford roadway, and granitoid walks. This* extensive work will be done at the expense of property owners directly benefited, the heaviest owner being the Future Great Real Estate Co., in which August Gehner is a prominent factor. It should be stated that the twoblocks onCastleman avenue next west of Grand are now being provided with first-class improvements by the St. Louis Land & Improvement Co., owners of the property, in which Donk Bros., the coal dealers, are largely interested. That portion of the improvements west of the ground owned by the St. Louis Land & Improvement Co. will be perfected under the supervision of the Penney Surveying Co. These betterments are attracting attention to Tyler place lots, and they are commencing to change owners in & way that is very satis- factory to people who invested there. Since the auction quitea number of private sales have been made at good advances. To-day the sale of 200x124 feet, located at the north- «west corner of Flad and Vandeventer ave- “*.. at $32 a footis reported by the Ham- «-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. John _Aillin owned the ground, and he paid $24a hammer. George H. Sauer has purchased the site and he Intends building two dwellings on a@ portion of it. A GOOD INVESTMENT. Adam Boeck & Co. reportthe sale of the two-story seven room brick dwellings num- bered 2729, 2731 and 2733 Mills street, occupy- ing 565x118 feet of ground between Beaumont and Leffingwell avenues for $8,500, from Wm. Pamperin to Benjaman Winkeler, who pur- chased the premises to obtain their rental income of $90 a month. Bradley & Quinette report the sale of a 50x 209-foot lot, with a four-room frame house, situated on the north side of Scanlan avenue, at Gratiot Station, for $2,000 cash, from Jo- seph Harris to Gustave Liebke. A $6,500 SUBURBAN SALE. A parcelof ground aggregating 2,000 front feet, situated on the north side of the Old M anchester road, on both the north and south lines of Magnolia avenue and on the south side of Bleck avenue nearly directly south of Benton, property Owned by the estate of Robert McArthur, represented by D.

THE QUEEN’S DAUGHTERS. A Special Meeting at St. John’s Library Last Evening. A special meeting of the Queen’s Daughters was held yesterday afternoon at St. John’s Library Hall. It was largely attended and showed an increase of fifty new members since the last meeting. The small banks which a large number of the ladies had had for the past two months in whichto catch stray pennies and dimes, were opened and about $200 were thus realized. Rt. Rev. Father Brady, Vicar-General, presided and several visiting clergymen were present. Father Brady stated thatthe work was most highly appreciated anf indorsed by the clergy of thecity, and there are many ap- plications for opening new schools in the more densely settled parishes. One was organized at this meeting for St. Patrick’s Parish which will begin active work atonce. The other applications must be set aside until more funds are real- ized. The president, secretary and treasurer all made very encouraging reports. Though the membership and funds meet existing de- mands, the fleldis so large and the needs so great, where the administrations of this so- ciety have not yet reached, that the Queen’s Daughters are naturally eager ana zealous to encompass the whole work. A most inter- esting paper, entitled ‘‘Helping the Poor,’’ composed and read by Mrs. Rose Fanning, principal of the Pestalozzi School, made each one present feel ready for new deeds of char- ity and mercy. It was a most graceful blend. ingof fact and philosophy with poetican religious sentiments. Mardi Gras Excursion Rates by theiL. & N. Railroad.

Janes by Officers Curtin and Schlufstein a few days ago promises to turn out better than was expected. It seems, from a written con- fession made yesterday by Vincent, that his operations are very pecullar. He says that he would first steal a large number of checks at some small Station, then goto acity depot, pick outa trunk that looked valuable and change the check, retaining the duplicate of the one put on the trunk. Heconfesses to having oper- ated all over the country—in San Francisco, Denver, Kansas City and St. Louis. The trunk which he secured in this way in St. Louis be- longed to Miss Kittie Putnam of Chicago, who is at present visiting in Jefferson City. She values her loss at $1,000, and will arrive in the city to-day and take possession of her goods. Detective Cain of the Alton road and Wm, Pinkerton arrived in the city yesterday, and together with Capt. Young of the Central ot aso heard the confession made by Vin- cent. Hot Springs, Arkansas.

A Hitch That May Prevent the Gibbons- Bowen Fight—New York to Have Another Big Go-as-You-Please Contest —Sporting News Generally. NEw YORK, Jan, 81.—‘‘Buck’’ Ewing, ac- companied by his wife, arrived from Cincin- nati at 6o’clock last night. In the evening he called on Vice-President E. B. Talcott and they talked over the situation, Finally terms were agreed on, by which Ewing will be the head and front of the New York team next season. He did not sign a contract last night, but will do so shortly. Thereis no special hurry, now that he ana the New York Club have an understanding with each other. ‘‘The New York team next season,’’ said Ewing, ‘‘will be the =. strong- est that has ever represented this city. It will be strong. at every point. I would like to see Denny keptat third base because he is, when in condition, in my judgment, the best of all third base men. Last season he played hard ball, but that was -because he did not take care of himself, As to O’Rourke there are many worse players than he. Be- sides being a good player heis sober and re- liable, which is much to any player’s advan- tage. How about the Brooklyn team? Well, now Ward seems to be kicking rather high. The team will stand noshow with New York if it is notjgreatlyfstrengthened. Wherejthey will get the players to strengthen it is a mystery tome. Youcan put it down that the New York team will be among the leaders, even if five clubs have already won the championship ' on paper. ‘‘No, Idid not pledge myself to goto Cin- cinnati,’’ he continued, ‘‘as this morning’s dispatches say. Johnson said if I played in New York it wonld be made very unpleasant for me by a certain newspaper and he tried to show me in what way and how it would be to my advantage to play in Cincinnati. I saidI would be willing to go there if ILcould get my release, but to get it was as likely as thatlI would bea millionaire to-morrow. Johnson also wanted me to hold off and refuse to sign with New York. Itell you New York is good enough for me, and here I will stay until lam not wanted.’’ THE BROOKLYN CLUB. The Brooklyn Clubis making an effort to get “together a team that will win the National League championship. John M. Ward, who has been secured by Byrne, will have full control of the team on the field. Mr. Byrne has already six of his old men un- der contract. Tom Daly, Ge®rge Pinkney, Hub Collins, George Smith, Tom Lovett and Darby O’Brien signed with him at the close of last season. Dave Foutz, Bob Caruthers, Will Terry and Tom Burns are also expected to puttheir names down before many days. Itisalso said that Hemming and Kinslow have signed contracts, but Kinslow denies his side of the affair, claiming that he has not yetcometo terms. It is said Catcher Daly will receive a salary of $5,200 for the sea- son, and that Bushong and Clark, the other catchers of the club will be released. An ef- fort is also being made to secure Bierbauer, who is to-day the best second baseman in the country and whois reportedto have signed with Pittsburg. Wood says histeam will be made up as follows: Pitchers—Terry, Caruthers. Catchers—Daly, Kinslow and one other. First base—Foutz. Second base—Biebauer or Smith. Third base—Pinkney. Short stop—Ward. Left fleld—O’ Brien or Van Haltren. Center fleld—Collins. Right field—Burns. Extra—Donovan. This team will prove a tremendous rival to the New Yorks and the other big teams of the League. MINOR LEAGUES IN THE EAST. A New York State League anda New Eng- land League have been formed, but some of the leading clubs in both organizations are endeavoring to get upan Eastern League by taking the best cities fromeach. Manches- ter, Salem, Lynn, Haverhill, Lawrence, Brockton, Worcester and Providence are pro- posed New England cities, while the New York State League as at pres- ent formed includes Troy, Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Toronto and Johnstown-Gloversville. The Eastern League,as proposed,is to be made up of New Haven, Hartford, Providence and Worcester in the East,and Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and one other city—probably Toron- to—in the West. W. W. Burnham of the New Haven Club is hard at work on the proposed Eastern League and hopes to perfect its or- ganization. é AMERICAN ASSOCIATION CONSTITUTION.

The entries forthe great six days’ go-as- please match which will take place at Madi- son Square Garden during the week com- mencing March 15 havealready begun to pour in, says the New York Sun. The affair will be managed and conducted by several promli- nent business men, who have hired the Gar- den from March 15 to 22 at a cost of $15,000. The contract for the Garden was completed and signed yesterday. The promoters of the enterprise have agreed to offer $10,000 in prizes to the competing pedestrians, The money will be distributed as follows: $5,000 to the first, $2,500 to the second, $1,000 to the third, $750tothe fourth, $600 to the fifth, and $250 to the sixth man. In addition to the above prizesa further sum of $1,000 will be given toeach manthat breaks the record. The Garden will be laid out with two tracks. The outer course will be used by the go-as- you-please contestahts, and the inner track will be devoted toa series of one, three and five-mile races by amateurs. The short dis- tance races will be decided on Monday, Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday evénings. A trophy valued. at $150 will be given to the win- ners of eachrace. The entrance fee for the professionals will be $100 for each competitor. Entries will be received until three days be- fore the actual commencement of the race. The management will reject the entry of any man who has not trained at leag, three weeks forthe contest. This step prevent pie biters and c ing kennel, spect. Among those that have already entered are Albert, Hughes, Berty, Golden, Hart, Hegel- ‘man, Cartwright and Noremac. Steve Bro- die has entered Gus Guerero, Paddy Burns of Blmira and his unknown. A big inducement has been offered to Littlewood and Rowell to enter, and the management is confident that ‘poth men will be among the competitors. The $10,000 prize will be deposited with Rich- ard K, Fox several days before the race is begun. THE RING. A London letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: The most interesting thing connected with the British prize-ring is the coming bat- tle ‘between Peter Maher, Irish champion, and Gus Lambert of New York. Both men are in active training, and the matter is cre- ating a big stir among the ‘‘fancy.’’ The Pelican Club will give a purse of £200. Tony Sage, the Irish sport, is backing Maher. The other night I went to see Lambert at his work and was astounded at the improvement he has made. Mitchell has eliminated that crook from Gus’ left arm, and now the hand aims out straight from the shoulder. His right ts just the thing, and if it ever gets in the region of the Irishman’s jaw he won’t want many more punches. Lambert and Mitchell box every afternoon and indulge in a lotof catch-as-catch-can wrestling. This takes the fat off both men, but the British boxing champion is benefited most by the exercise and already looks fit to fight toa finish. Lam- bert will be in good condition on the night of the fight, and if he follows Mitchell’s advice he is sure to be in good form. NUNC. WALLACE IN TROUBLE. ‘*‘Nunc’’ Wallace has been in serious trouble of late; but he managed to get out of it by the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. The English bantam champion got drunk and beat an inoffensive stranger over the head with his walking stick. The consequence was the arrest of the pugilist. The prosecution wanted the assailant punished, but the ‘*Beak’* suspended sentence so as to give Wallace a chance tocome to some arrange- ment with the prosecution. THE HORNBACKER-COX BATTLE. The fight between Scotty Cox and Eugene Hornbacker on Coney Island Thursday night was a rather unconventional affair. Accord- ing toan account from New York a big purse had been promised these cracks, but they found when too late that the purse was wind. They refused to fight without a stake of some kind andthe hat was passed around three times and the sum total realized was $7, three English pennies, a plugged nickel, two brass buttons and four broken collar buttons. At first they refused to fight, but finally got mad at each other And concluded to fight anyhow. There were no ropes or _ stakes, sO a ring was formed by men sitting on chairs. Sugar Murphy was time- keeper for Hornbacker, and said he had forgot to bring with him the watcn with which he kept time in the Heenan-Sayers fight. Someonelent him a Waterbury, and it exploded in the second round, nearly kill- ing the bottle-holder. Jimmy Lynch, time- keeper for Cox, curiously enough had for- gotten to bring his split-second repeater. He said he had loaned it to his father’s brother. The fight began and Cox sent his left into Hornbacker’s face repeatedly with- out return. In the third round Hornbacker’s right eye was partially closed, but he was swinging away in great shape and Janding every time. Hornbacker got in three effect- ive blows in the fifth round, andin the sixth the spectators broke through the ring. Horn- backer repeatedly punched Cox in the sev- enth, and there was wild disorder in the eighth, both men fouling. In the ninth, amid yells of ‘‘Foul!’’ Jack Adler decided the fight in favor of Cox, announcing that Horn- backer had fouled his opponent. GIBBONS AND BOWEN MAY NOT FIGHT. There is a strong probability that the match between Austin Gibbons of Paterson, N.J., and Andy Bowen of New Orleans will be de- , clared off, says the New York Sun. The art- icles of agreement which were signed by Bowen and Gibbon’s representative stipu- late that the men shall fight at 133 pounds, give ortake two pounds, and weigh in five hours before the battle. Bowen has changed his mind about this clause and now refuses to fight unless theaveighing in is done five min- utes before the fight. He alsosays that unless Gibbons will agree to weigh in at the time specified entirely nude he will not fight him. The _ articles of agreement were perfectly satisfactory to Bowen prior to the Dempsey-Fitzsimmons fight. A number of sporting men who were present at the Gibbons-Cushing fight told him ofthe disparity in weight that existed be- tween Gibbons and Cushing when they met to battle for the 126 pounds championship. Five hours before the battle Gibbons was said to have weighed 128% pounds, while Cushing tipped the beam at 126% pounds. The fight was delayed several hours,and when Gibbons entered the ring he weighed 1374 pounds. Gibbons is a large-framed man, and could easily fight as a middle weight if he so de- sired. He is much taller and longer in the reacir than. Bowen, and, in addition to this, is cleverer. These facts have been impressed upon Bowen’s mind by several of the visiting Northern sporting men, and Jack Dempsey’s parting injunction to ‘Bantam, *? by which name Bowen is familiarly known, was not to fight unless the weighing-in clause was changed. Both Austin Gibbons and his brother and manager, Jim Gib- bons, are shrewd match-makers, and want the long end of the rope every time. When Gibbons left for New Orleans a little over a week ago he weighed about one hun- dred and forty-six pounds. It is thought by those who know him that he will be unable to get down to weight and be strong. He will make a strong fight for the articles of agree- ment to be carried out, and in the event of Bowen’s refusal to fight will undoubtedly claim the forfeit. The men were to have fought atthe Audu- bon Athletic Club of New Orleans for a $3,000 purse. Bowen has officially notified the management of the club of his intentions. BILLIARDS. John North, the Bristolexpert, has taken. up the gauntlet thrown down to Dilllardists recently by John Roberts, Jr., in his sensa- tional] challenge to play any expert in the world spot-barred billiards, 24,000 points up, conceding 12,000 start to his adversary, the match to be for $5,000. North covered Rob- erts’ deposit of $100 on Jan. 19 in the office of the London = Sporting. life after the champion had made the concession that the game should be played with the ‘‘ordinary ivory billiard balis.*’ This was all that North asked. North is backed by a number of lawyers. The Sport- ing Life says that the match is sure to excite tremendous interest in England, coming as it does dyring the red-hot debate among billiardists there about the championship rules.
