LOUIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, WAITING FOR CHILI The Next Step in the Controversy With the Little Republic. AN OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE VALPA- RAISO OUTRAGE. No Dispatches Received From Egan To- Day—What Police Surveillance of the American Legation Means—Massing Ships.in South American Waters— Cruisers to Sail From Frisco. WasHtncTor, D. C., Dec. 23.—So far as can be learned no dispatches from Minister Egan have been received to-day. Information the Chilian situation is not obtainable at the state Department. i It was regarded as probable last night that the President would to-day send a special message to Congress laying the whole Cnilian situation before that body, suggesting what in his opinion, the future course of the United states should be. But the House met and ad- journed to-day without receiving any com- munication from the executive branch of the Government. It is probable that the President will take no further step until the State Department receives Official information of Chili’s action on Judge Foster’s report. The press cablegram from Valparaiso an- nouncing the conclusion of the judicial in- guiry into the murder of the Baltimore’s sailors gives no indication of what the action of the Chilian Government will be in the matter. The question hinges entirely on the decision of the judge, who has yet to pass upon the evidence, andthe disposition of the Montt Cabinet tocarry out the court’s con- clusions. The statement from Santisgo that Minister Matta refuses to withdraw the police sur- veillance of the American Legation is re- garded as evidence that the Chilian authori- ties feara mob may attack the embassy if left unprotected. The Navy Department still refuses to give ,- “out information of the movements of United States cruisers. It is known, however, that a fleet of American warships will be massed in Chillan waters as soon as it is possible to do so. There is no donbt that Admiral Brown with the San Francisco and Charles- ton will soon sail for Valparaiso. SENOR LASCANO. HE WILL BE ARRESTED ON ARRIVAL AT SAN TIAGO—CHILIAN NEWS. SANTIAGO, Dec. 23.—Senor Lascano, former Balmacedan Minister to the United States, and who suddenly left there for Brazil im- mediately after the Dictator’s overthrow, arrived at Los Andes yesterday. He will probably be arrested as soon as he arrives in Santiago. The offictal reports of Gen. Sancto and Kor- ner were published yesterday. Their ac- counts of the battles of Concon and Pliacilla confirm the cabled statements that 5,000 men were killed and wounded in those two en- ravements. , Balmaceda’s ex-Minister of the Interior, Godoy, who is now at Lima, Peru, refuses to submit to the demand of the Chilidn Con- gress that he should appear at Santiago and answer the accusations in regard to the alleged responsibility of the Junta Govern- nt forthe murder of Senor Aldunate and other Balmacedan officials. \ quarrel took place at Mendosa, Argentina, on Sunday between tne Chilian Consul, Senor rres, and Salvador Sanfuentes, Balma- ceda’s Governor of Concepcion. It resulted in the death of Sanfuentes and the wounding f Col. Urrutia, his friend. The Argentine police arrested Torres. The election in Acena yesterday passed off quietly. Don Pedro Donoste Vergara was elected by a big majority. A prominent Balmacedist, Col. Jose Maria Solo, was arrested yesterday and is now con- fined4n the Santiago jail. THE SAN FRANCISCO, THE ARRIVAL OF THE CHARLESTON FROM HONOLULU. Saw Fraxcisco, Cal., Dec, 23.—The cruiser San Francisco arrived bere last evening from Mare Island. When she will sail is still un- certain. It will not be until the steamer Monowail arrives on Thursday from Honolulu with advices from the Charleston, which will be transferred here or at San Diego. She also carries ammunition for the Boston and Yorktown. A reception will be held on board the San Francisco to-morrow evening by Ad miral Brown and on Thursday the naval re- reserve from Mare Island will witness a dress inspection of the crew and the working of guns. AWAITING THE VALPARAISO OUTRAGE. COMPLETING THE WORK OF OFFICIAL INVESTI- GATION—MATTA TO EGAN. VALPARAISO, Chili, Dec. 23.—At last the judicial inquiry into the murder of American sailors by a Chilian mob on Oct. 16 last, has been concluded. The testimony taken by Judge of Crimes Foster pow goes to the Pro- curator Fiscal for his opinion, after which he Judge will give his decision on the evi dence submitted. There are no facts in the document which have not fsen already pub- lished. Itis simply a consecutive statement of the witnesses examined. After the fiscal has reviewed the testimony and returned it for Judge Foster to pass judg- meprt upon, it will be submitted to the Su- preme Court fora final decision. Every step in the investigation is now being hurried up by request of the Government. Minister of Foreign Affairs Matta has sent a reply to the letter of the Argentine Minister, Senor Urriburn, in regard to the Chillan police espionage upon the American Lega- tion. Senor Matta promises to withdraw the detectives from the neighborhood of Minister Egan’s house, but says that he will continue to maintain the uniformed police around the iegation. BATTLE IN BRAZIL. THE TOWN OF SANTA VICTORIA ATTACKED B GEN. CAMPOS. Loxpox, Dec. 23.—A dispatch to the Time from Its.correspondent at Santiago de Chill, published to-day, says that Gen.

CLOSED ITS DOORS. Cotton Crop Failure Involves a Eank— Business Troubles. VICKSBURG, Miss., Dec. 23.—The Bank of Greenville at Greenville, Miss., suspended yesterday. The first intimation of the sus- pension was this notice posted on the door of the bank: Closed by order of the Chancery Court of Washing- ton County. The bank is in the hartds of a receiver. The shock of this intelligence was great. When it reached the Circuit Court, then in session, the attendant counsel told the pre- siding judge that this failure was sucha calamity that no one present was in any con- dition to transact business, and court was adjourned at once. It is feared that this is but the predecessor of other misfortunes, all the result of the depression in cotton. United States Senator White, representing the Whit- ney National Bank of New Orleans and other creditors, was in Greenville yesterday. President Pollock has been appointed re- ceiver. The liabilities are stated at $500,000. The assets are more than that amount, among which is $750,000 in first mortgage Washington County real estate and county securities to the amount of $150,000. The failure is due to successive overflows entailng short crops, and to the low price of cotton. Itis a well known fact thatthe bank has been the nancial bulwark of the entire county, the wealthiest in this State for years. The utmost sympathy is expressed for Presi- dent Pollack, whose ability and integrity are distinguished. The banks of this city ex- press the belief, based on personal knowl- edge, that the creditors will be paid in full. Nevertheless the biow is a heavy one, the bank’s operations being by no Means con- fined to Washington County. The bank was the first ever established in Greenville. De- tailed lists of the creditors have not been re- ceived, but the Whitney National Bank is un- derstood to be the largest creditor. The Han- over Bank of New York andthe Whitney of New Orleans are also creditors. THE SOLDIERS IN WAITING. They May Be Ordered to Move on the Miners at Any Moment. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 23.—The soldiers are still here, but they are likely to be or- dered to East Tennessee at any moment. Everything is in readiness. All the soldiers have uniforms and other necessary accouter- ments for a winter’s campaign. The civil guards are also reported to be ready for duty, Seventy Winchester rifies and ammunition have been issued tothem. The old mountain howitzer was brought out yesterday and cleaned and rendered ready forservice. A . ial train has been arranged forover the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. It is to be on hand with an hour’s notice. People are beginning to say that the anx- jously anticipated move will not occur now till after Christmas. And it must be admitted there seem to be some grounds for their speculation, the grounds being the statement of Adjt.-Gen. Norman, which was to the effect that he did not think the soldiers would go till after the holidays. It is certain that it has not yet been determined wh the convicts will de- rt for the East ,.T essee mines. Mr. Nat er ofthe Tennessee Coal, Ironé& Rall- road Co. gave an order to Supt. Wade for 200 convicts to be transferred to Deputy Warden J. M. Liddell at Bricevillie. Mr. Wade said he would ask the convicts from Warden Blevins ata propertime. Mr. Liddell took exception to this answer, and Mr. Wade then replied that no convicts should go until after the holicays. Mr. Liddell recetved news from ‘Briceville yesterday that the miners haa as- surances that noconvicts will be sent there until the beginning of next week. SUICIDES. Carried Out Their Pledges for Self-De- struction—Other Cases. Ionita, Mich., Dec. 23.—Less than a year ago Grace Cook, May Shell, Fred Butler and a girl named Rodgers met at a social gather- ing and agreed to commit suicide, Grace Cook was first to keep her promise. She died from an overdose of morphine. Fred Butler made an attack on a lady cierk some months later and then fied to his room, where he shot himself. May Shell died Sunday at Rattle Creek with symptons of morphine poisoning. She had $1,000 left her some time ago, and led a very reckless life. Miss Rod- rs was recentiy married and appears to Coan given up her thoughts of self-destruc- tion. A WAR VETERAYX. Ractxe, Wis., Dec. 23.—Capt. T. L.

SENATOR PLUMB’S REMAINS RECEIVED WITH PROPER HONORS. Crowds Thronging to Topeka to Do the Last Mournful Duty to the Dead—Im- pressive Ceremonies onthe Arrival of the Train at the State Line—A Testi- mony to Worth. ToPreKA, Kan., Dec. 23.—A bright, beauti- ful morning dawned uponthe capitol city of Kansas, where the funeral obsequies of the late Senator P. B. Plumb were soon to be cele- brated with all the pomp and grandeur, military and civil, that the great State of K ansas can command. The city is draped in mourning, while Kan- sas avenue, one of the broadestand finest thoroughfares of the United States, is a dense mass of funeral emblems. All night long special trains on all the roads had been ar- riving in town with thousands of visitors, while every thoroughfare leading to the city is now and has been since daylight, a solid moving procession of vehi- cles of every description. The streets and public squares of the city along which the funeral cortege moves are thronged with people eager to pay their last tribute of re- spect to the illustrious dead. It wag after 1 o’clock when the funeral train arrived here, three hours after sched- ule time, the delay having been caused by a hitch in the arrangements by tne local com- mittee at Kansas City. The procession had been drawn up in line for all that time, but when the train arrived it was still intact and prepared to do honor to the dead statesman. Since the visit of the President no such a concourse of people had been seen inthe city. The streets and sidewalks along the line of march were packed with people who had come to witness the obsequies. The booming of artillery in the hands of Artillery A, K.N.G., announced the arrival of the train. On the platform, drawn up in line, were the four .G. A. R. posts ef the city of Topeka and Company C, K.N.G. The pall- bearers carried the casket to the funeral car, which was handsomely draped in black and drawn by four Dlack horses in funeral trap- pings. The procession then moved toward the capitol. ‘ First came a platoon ,of police, followed by Marshall’s Military Band playing the dead marchin ‘‘Saul.’’ After the band came the funeral car in a hollow square formed of Company C, K.N.G., and the four Grand Army posts of the city asa special guard of honor, the G. A. R. marching right and left and the K. N. G. front and rear, arms reversed. Following came the Eleventh Kansas, Col. Plumb’s old regiment. The pall-bearers marched on either side of the car holding the pall which dra the casket, Then followed in order the Con- gressional Committee, the Sergeant-at-Aruais in carriages, the the State with the State officers, Chief Justice and Assoctate Justice of the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Commissioners, the mem- bers Of the State Senate and Houseof Repre- sentatives, the Mayor and City Council of the city of Topeka, Knights Templars, Masons and other civic ordersof thecity of Topeka and State of Kansas. Along line of distinguished Kansans in car- riages brought up the rear. The line of march was from the railway Stationup Fifth street to Kansas avenue, south to Ninth street, and thence west to the Capitol. On Kansas avenue north of Eighth street were drawn up each side of the avenue long lines of children from the public schools wearing bands of crepe around their arms. As the procession passed between the lines the children fellin behind the Masons and marched to the Capitol. Arrived at the Cap- itol the casket was conveyed to the Senate Chamber, which was handsomely decorated. The Speaker’s desk was the apex of a vast pyramid of tropical plants, flowers and ferns. From the chandeliers and doorways hung somber. biack dGraperios, and a large flag was stretched between the pillars of the allery above the Speaker’s chair with its olds subdued by abundant trimming of black crepe. Just in front ofthe bank of palms stood a rich and handsome biack catafaique which received the bier. On elther side were large groups of palms and ferns tastefully arranged. he door of every room in the State-house bears a bunch of black crepe. The Speaker’s clock, which was almost covered with mourning. was still and pointed tothe hour, 1:15, when Senator Plumb died. ABTHE STATE LINE, THE FUNERAL TRAIN AT KANSAS CITY. Kaweas City, Mo., Dec. 23.—The day barely dawned when the special train, which was bearing the body of the late Preston B. Piumb to his native soil, arrived at the Union Depot. The scene was one of extreme gloom, in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. A heavy cloud of fog and smoke hung over the station likea pall. The hurry and bustie of the trainmen and passengers and the noise which is ever present about the station seemed modified. All moved with slow feet and by their actions discov- ered that they unconsciously endeavored to prevent any unnecessary noise. Every- body desired to show their respect and honor for the dead Senator. The depot lights had been extinguished and early morning was scarcely sufficient to light the station, while the head light of the en- gine of the funeral train cast weird shadows before it as it drew into the station. Gathered ina group opfiesite the main en- trance were stationed the various escorts which were to accompany the body ofthe distinguished Kansan to Topeka, the State’s capital, and thence to Emporia, the home ofthe Senator. These escorts were four in number, the first being composed of Gov. Lyman W.Humpbrey of Kansas,accompanied by his staff and the officers of the State; the second of Timothy McCarthy, Department Commander ofthe Grand y of the Re- public of Kansas, his staff and delegations from the various posts of the Kansas G. A. R., the Emporia Post being given the place of honor; the third of the pall bearers, Hon. J. K. Hudson, Judge John ARRIVAL OF , all of Topeka, , . orary pall bearers, Hon. F. P. Baker, Judge Osborn Grand Army escort under Commander Mc- Carthy, followed by the pall bearers, carry- ing the casket and accompanied by the hon- orary pall bearers. Then came the Congres- sional delegation, @omsisting of Senators Peffer, Dolph, Paddock, Ransom and Palmer, representing the Senaté,and Messrs. Funston, Broderick, Cate, Peel, Youmans, Post and Cogswell representing the House of ptatives, who were followed by Gov. Humphrey staff and the Kansas State officers. Mayor on, the members of the City Councti of City, Kan., and the committee of Citizens bringing np the rear. The proc moved quickly toa 2 ae ney train on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa e Railway. There the casket was placed on committees were permitted to pass through the carto lookuron the casket and to cast upon it their floral tributes, A guard of the G. A. R. were placed in charge of the car. Considerable delay was experienced, and it was 10 o’clock before the train moved out for Topeka, FIRE RECORD. Salisbury Tobacco -Factory and Contents Destroyed—Other Lozses. SALISBURY, Mo., Dec. 23.—Salisbury was visited by another destructive fire this morn- ing, which broke out in the Salisbury Tobacco Factory atlo’eclock. When it was discovered the fames were under headway and beyond control Nothing was saved. The building and contents were insur:d for $20,500. Both were valmed at $30,500, making a heavy loss on the stockholders, A. Straub, Chas. Olarkson, W. R. Siaughter, Geo. Sharpand Dan Harrig. The factory was a fine piece of pro oy a is a big loss to Salisbury. It will likely be rebuilt.

The fire is supposed tobethe work of an in- | cendiary. PROLIFIC OF SPEAKERS. Most cf the Presiding Officers Were Born in the South. Of the thirty men who in that long period have been honored with the Speakership, no fewer than fourteen were born below the Ohio River. Virginia supplied five, who were Henry Clay, Philip 8. Barbour, Andrew Stevenson, R. M. T. Hunter and sonn W. Jones. The native Kentuckians who have achiev distinction are: John White, a brilliant jurist, who became Speaker at 36, but. died before his career was rounded up by other prospective honors; Linn Boyd and John G. Carlisle. North Carolina may claim Nathaniel Bacon and James K. Polk; while Langdon Cheves and James L. Orr were sons of South Carolina. John Bell of Tennessee and Howell Cobb of Georgia are the lone stars from those States that have shown in the Speakership galaxy. Two of these men were residing in other States than those of their wey pte’ when they went to Congress— Clay and Polk. Itisa notable circumstance that all of the men elected Speaker, from the First to the Fifty-first Congress, wegpe born in ope or an- other of only thirteen States; and further, that on the soll of only seven States outside of the South has a go presiding officer of the more numerous b ch of the National been born: ¢ The seven States re- ferred to are Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Maine. The native Pennsylvanians who won this hopor were F. A. Muhlenberg, whose gavel dropped for the first time on March 4, 1789; John W. Davis, James G. Biaine, Michael C. Kerrand Samuel J. Ran- dali; Connecticut gave birth to Jonathan Trumbull, Theodore Sedgwick and Galusha A. Grow; New Jersey to Jonathan Dayton and William Pennington; New York to John W. Taylorand Schuyler Oolfax; Massachu- setts boasts Joseph B. Varnum, Robert C. Winthrop and Nathaniel P. Banks, while Ohio is entitled to J. Warren Keifer, and Main to T. Brackett Reed. Itisa unique fact that Virginia, Tennes- see, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and South Oarolina sho have given birth to the fourteen Speakers credited to the South, while not one of the sister Southern States of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Maryland or West Virginia has pro- duced a man destined to this high station. And equally strange has it been thatthe two States of Virginiaand Kentucky were the places of nativity of one-fourth of the men who have been the presiding officers of the popular branch of Congress since 1789. And, coming down to the recent contest,it is found that the three leading candidates were Southerners, two of them Kentuckians by. birth—Milis and McMillin, scions of that State which has had more to do with the Speakership, ina way, than any other Commonwealth. When enry Clay was representing a Blue Grass district in that State he was six times chosen Speaker. John White held that proud position for one term, Linn Boyd for two and Mr. Carlisle for three. R is thus seen that this quartet whom Ken- tuck sent to Congress occupied the Speaker’s chair for twenty-four years, or nearly one-fourth of the period of the exis- tence of Congress; and nowthis same Com- monwealth comes to the front with two strings to her bow for the latest award. Eithera Virginian or a Kentuckian has been in the chair for thirty-nine out of 102 years. The only native Western man that ever won the honor was Keifer of Ohio. Missourians at the Metropolis.

Has the Georgian Disciplined the Minor- ity—The Eighth Missouri District Mem- ber Has a Word to Say—Records of the Important Committeemen on Sil- ver, Tariff and Other Questions. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22,—Pursuant to the ad- journment motionof Saturday the House metat 12 o’clock to-day. As that motion provided for no other business than the reading of the speaker’s list of committee assignments that was the only business transacted. There were many surprises and some disappointments but on the whole the balance was well preserved. AS was well understood Mr. Springer gets the place so much coveted by Mr. Mifls. This may for a brief time cause some friction in the Demo- cratic machinery, but the exigencies of party will soon align the disappointment. There was no crowding of the galleries when the committees were read. The prob- abilities bad been so thoroughly canvassed that the official reading was merely per- functory. Upon the close of the reading the House adjourned to Jan, 5, without motion. An inquiry into the records of the members of the House Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures shows that by past utterances or votes, in or out of Congress, nine out of thirteen members of the committee have declared in favor of free coinage, while three of the other members have been outspoken against free coinage, and a fourth is said by his friends to be unquestionably against free coinage, though his record is unknown, he not having beenin Congress. The membersin favor of free coinage are Messrs. Bland of Missouri, Williams of lii- nols, Kilgore of Texas, Robertson of Louisi- ana, Pierce of Tennessee, Eppes of Virginia, McKeighan of Nebraska, Barline of Nevada and Johnson of North Dakota. Those opposed are Messrs. Tracey of New York, Williams of Massachusetts, Taylor of ilinols and Storm of Pennsylvania. A majority of the Democratic members of the Waysand Means Committee agree with Mr. Springer in the belief that it would be impolitical this time to attempt a general re- vision of the tariff. They favor passing specific bills to put a few articles on the tree list. Of the free coinage members Messrs. Bland, Williams of LUlinois, Kilgore, Robertson, Pierce of Tennessee and Bartine were in the last Congress and recorded themselves as in favor ofthe passage of the free coinage bill. Of the new free coinage members Mr. Eppes of Virginia was elected on a free coinage plat- form; Mr. McKeighan comes here as an in: dependent elected aareey by Alliance votes and committed to free coinage of silver. Mr. Johnson of elected on a, platform, one of the leading features of which was a free silver plank. Of the anti-free coimage members of the committee Messrs. Tracey and Taylor of Lili- nois were in the last Congress and as mem- bers of the Coinage Committee worked and yoted against free silver. Mr. Willianrs of Massachusetts takes the piace on the com- mittee formerly held by Mr. Walker of Mas- sachusetts who, though in the present Con- gress, was not given an opportunity to serve on his old committee. Mr. Williams, like his predecessor, however, is a strong anti-free silver man. The fourth man placed in the anti free coinage list is Mr. Stone of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stone was not in last Congress. He is not inthe city, but his friends say heis undoubtedly aga’nst free silver. Mr. Willcox of Connecticut is the one Dem- ocratic voting member of the committee in the last Congress who was re-elected but who is not on the committee this time. He voted’ against free coinage.

Declared Insane. At2o’clock this afternoon the jury inthe case of Martin C. Barthel, the late Treas- urer of the Concordia Publishing Co., brought in a verdict in the Probate Court that he was of unsound mind and incapable of managing his own affairs. The inguiry was made at the’ I!stance of Barth- el’s family. During the past two months, Barthel has been in a peck of trouble with the officers of the company. The. trouble, which it is claimed, bronght on Barthel’s mental collapse began when the company made the discovery that their treasurer was short in his accounts to the extent of about $50,000. The discovery was madein the latter part of October, when Barthel’s resignation was accepted. At the same time he was called upon to secure the company by transferring his property over tothe officers. It was at this time that Barthel broke down completely and the tes- timony at the inquiry left no room to doubt his «mental condition. He could not at the time of the discovery give any satis- factory explanation of what had become of the money. Barthel is over sixty years of age and was with the company thirty years. Court Notes.

WENT TO DESOTO. The Husband of the Missing Mrs. Ettiec May Barnhouse There in Search of Her. It now appears that Mrs. Ettie May Barn- house of 905 West Jefferson avenue, who has been missing from ber home since last Mon- day morning, along with her 3-year-old son, made a confidant of her sister, Miss Victoria Turley, before she went away. Mrs. Barn- house, the sister-in-law of the bereaved husband, said to-day that Miss Victoria settied Mr. Barnhbouse’s feelings last evening when she told himthat the missing wife told her that she was going to De Soto, Mo., because, she explained, her husband told her to leave. Mrs. Barnbouse made her promise not to tell this to Mr. Barnhouse. She fulfilled the obligation up to last even- ing. She saw then, however, that the dread of asuicidal end had taken a firm hold on him. She therefore told him all and Mr. Barnhouse left on the first train for De Soto. He aid not return last night nor this morning, so that the out- come of his expedition is unknown. The neighbors in the vicinity of 95 West Jefferson avenue Knew nothing about the case. They said that the two sisters of the missing woman were there last night in search of the mail. Mr. Barnhouse said be- fore he went away that his wife was subject to fits of insanity, but their home was tran- quill. Tue artistic, sweet-toned Henry F. Miller pianos, sold by J. A.

Some of them succumbed to the disturbing effects of St. Louis water, and others decided that they could not hold the pace set for them by the leaders. In the first twenty-four hours the men got about two hours sleep each, ex- cept Old Sport Campana, who slept for half an hour with his feet in a bucket of water mixed with witch hazel. He was upand away during the silent hours- of the night while the others were sleeping. Among the leaders the match takes the snape of a race at intervals and there is some lively running. Guerrero with his ereyncans bulld makes good time in these sprints and is now gaining rapidly. Moore,Cartwright and Hart are chasing each other all the time and Hart is: being watched by several of the runners who feel bound to run whenever he does. The little colored boy, however, shows no signs of weakening as yet, and put his best foot forward when he saw his wife watching him this morning from the lower end of the hall. HOW THEY EAT. Breakfast lasted until after 10 o’clock this morning. Breakfaston the track is not ac- panied by knivesand forks or napkins. It consists of boiled eggs, bits of roast chicken or chopped beef, and sometimes raw ciams or oysters. Thetrainers take a mouthful or twoona saucerand stand by the tent until the walker arrives, then they gO out and keep step with him un- til his saucer is empty. The process is repeated every two or three laps until the man is sufficiently provided with nourish- ment. The men who quit and are no longer in the race are: Connors, who had a score of 94 miles; Smith, 65 miles;-Golden, 87 miles; Bennett, 56 miles; Hawley, 54 miles; Crancer, 66 miles, and Skoorb, 60 miles. Hennett is the Canadian who finished second to Albert when the latter made his world’s record, 621 miles. The rest are ali going well. At10 o’clock this morning Cartwright led with Hart a good second. THE 10 O’CLOCK SCORE.

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the men were all goingfreshand fast. Cartwright was a good lead with Hartaclosesecond. Guerrero was doing a great deal of running to make up what he had lost on account of sickness during the first twelve hours of the race. He was makinga big gain and going along in easy, steady shape. Hart stuck close to Cartwright and hummed as he went snatches of songs, but mainly from ‘‘The Picture That Is Turned Toward the Wall.’’ Old Sport gotacigar from some one and gota small newsboy to light it for him and get a good start on it. Then he stuck it in the corner of his mouth, rested his head over on one shoulder and went trotting around at his own gait, regardless of what the rest were doing. Moore and Cox looked fresh and fit and kept upthe pace in good form. The sawdust on the track was raked over and then given a good wetting on top, so that it made a firm, springy track.

The Principals of Schools inthe Poor Dis- tricts Direct a Great Deal of Benevo- lence—How Little Boys and Girls Are Taught Lessons in Christian Charity. At the meeting of the Public School princi- pals last evening, Supt. H. E. Long touched upon a subject which finds atender place in every heart which responds to the feelings of humanity with redoubled energy at Christ- mastide. He spoke of the charity work which is done in many of the schools, and he said that the principals should not interest themselves in charitable donations in future. This order was somewhat vague. There were few present who had not done much for the poor of their district, and many had gradually ingrafted lessons in practical charity upon the regular curriculum pre- scribed for the schools. Prof. P. 8. Stevenson, principal of the Clay School, Eleventh and Farrar streets, asked Mr. Long if his order would puta stop to contributions of clothing, food and the necessaries of life generally. Mr. Long said no; it had reference to money contributions only. This allayed Mr. Stevenson’s anxiety, for he feared that the work of himself, his teachers and scholars was nipped in the bud. The Clay School is a model for the vigor with which it has taken up the new study. Only last Thursday Mr. Stevenson asked his teachers to make outa list of those children whom they thought were in need of help. In a few days the experienced eyes of the teachers had picked out over sixty whose wants were only too ap- parent in their dress and theirfaces. The teachers spoke to the schoiars of the matter, and requested them to bring to school arti- cles of clothing and supplies of food, which they belleved they could spare. THEY PROMPTLY RESPONDED. The very next day the children came troop- ing to school with their books under one arm and a bundle under the other. Some carried market baskets and others packages. All of them wore happy faces as they ran joyfully tothe janitor and deposited their burdens. Before the week was ended the janitor had in his store-room fifteen bushels of potatoes, three barrels of apples, several sacks of flour andalarge quantity of shoes and clothing. Mr. Steyenson then told the teachers to seek out a the needy and satisfy their wants. The good ladies, whose life work is indeed one long act of charity, paid personal visits and sent trustworthy scholars to learn what was the condition of the people on the list. The strong, lusty boys, were loaded withisupplies and sent tothe houses. In many cases people came to the schools and only this morning a number of parents apetet foraid. So successful was the plan that applicants came from the dis- tricts to the north and the south of Mr. Stevenson to receive his charity and to thank him for it, WORKED ADMIRABLY. To be sure, he met with instances in which parents of needy children scorned aid, but the cases were few, and their names were at once stricken from the list without any one being the wiser. ‘ Mr. Stevenson and the teachers argue that aside from the nobility of the work in itself, undertaking has practical lesson in love for humanity, cannot but have a good effect upon the life characters of the pupils. One neat, manly- looking boy met Mr. Stevenson at the noon hour, yesterday, when school boys are sup- posed to eat and play. ‘‘Mr. Stevenson, I am going to see that family now,’’ he said in a clear voice. ‘*‘Very good, Willie,’’ and off he went to make a requisition upon the janitor’s store- room. ‘*There is a boy,’’ said the principal, *‘who has done an amount of work for charity which the world will never know.’’ He was of opinion that there isa fertile field for work in all school districts. ROOM FOR CHARITABLE WORK. ‘*‘T have found more oe ead and more poverty than ever fore,”’” he said. zone ofr schools adjoining however, is the most . Beginning with the Lowell north and extending through the Clay, Web- ster, O'Fallon, Douglass,’ Shields, Laclede, Madison and ogzi in the South End, there are numbers of r families who are obliged to take up their lowly habitations in the river district. Many live on boats, in frame houses, and wherever they can prune their expenses to the smallest notch.’’ Mr. stevenson has done the greater part of his work, now that Christmas tis nigh, and all the scholars are in a merry mood.

Having neglected to come to town for several weeks, his supply of beans bad given out, and he had come down to a diet of straight bacon. Considerably out of humor, he started in to pull his bed to pieces one morning, and in re- moving the sacks was agreeably surprised to find three pounds of beans, with a little coffee mixed, which the trade rats had brought from the Senator and stored in his bed. Therats are native Americans and very different from their imported Norway cousins. a are called trade rats because they gen- erally leave some article in exchange for what they take away. The miner. states that he never killeda trade rat; that these rodents habitually steal from one cabin andcarry their plunder into an adjoining one; that on one occasion he spilled a couple of quarts of corn on the floor of his cabin and the next morning found the rats had stored away every grain of itina pair of saddle bags hanging upon the wall. He also states that the rats ve thick cau- dal appendages about three inches tn length, which they keep constantly throwing up and down, striking the floor with each downward movement with the regular measured stroke of a musical professor marking time.

It Almost Invariably Has Marks That Be- tray Him to the Law Officers. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. **Police! Police! Where’s the police? Some thief’s stolen my ketbook !’’ A tall, bearded and ‘excited countryman yelled out these words in the Grand Central Depot one morning some months ago. The alarm created the usual excitement which follows the announcement of arobbery in a crowd. Someofthe stream of arriving and may, ser travelers es in their places to hastily ascertain whether or not their own wallets were safe. Others trowded around the countryman in eager curiosity to hear what he hadtosay. Some ofthe chronically cautious hurried their steps atrifie from the scene of trouble and looked back somewhat fearfully at the big policeman who was el- bowing his way vigorously toward the center of the crowd. Any of the score of people who did not stop might be the thief. The robbery had just **come off,’’ for the countryman had set u his outcry the moment his wallet was jerke by some mysterious force from his fingers. Now, in all this confusion of hurrying people, how was suspicion to be pointed to any par- ticular man? One would say ‘*impossibie.’’ But one would be wrong. A plainly dressed man, with sharp, black eyes, who had been standing in the door of the restaurant when the cry of robbery went up. wig oy quietly out of the doorway and turned his keen eyes in a series of quick glances to right and left. He did not once look at the countryman or the little crowd around him, but in ten seconds he had scanned with lightning rapidity the face of every person who was walkingaway. A sud- den looks as though of recognition, and he walked eee unhesitatingly toward a rather well-dressed man who was carryinga small valise up the stairway. He overtook him at the top of the stairs and tapped him on the shoulder. ‘*You are my prisoner,’’ he said. The thief was found. How did the detective know him? Thatisa complex question to answer. Natural in- stinct ofan order unclassed in human psy- chology is what makes the detective. A fox hound has it, and it makes the dog hunt foxes and find them and catch them where other dogs would fail impotently or through lack of effort. If this instinct was lacking in the man he would be no detective. He would not only lack abfility in thief-catching, but would have no disposition to go into the business. This instinct, which tempts him in- to his distasteful and often perilous calling,ts developed by experience and observation and constant study until it becomes almost a supernumerary sense. He knows a thief when he sees him, if it ts for the first time. It sounds impossible, doesn’t it? But it has been _— hundreds of times. Physiog- nomy has something todo with it;a fund of knowledge of the tricks and devices of the escaping robber, a quick a of tiny details which lead to suspicion,a supersens!- tiveness to the hints of circumstance, all go to make upthe professional instinct of the detective. But the most powerful element of all, and that which all serve but to re-en- force, is the mysterious sort of animal mag- netism which tells a detective—a genuine de- tective—that a thief’s a thief. The Man who was arrested in the Grand Central Depot was afterward proved to®ea professional pickpocket. He made a bold front when the moment’s conversation,and became highly indignant before the cause of his detention was toid. This isthe mistake which nearly every petty thief makes. The countryman’s wallet was found on him, and witnesses re- membered having seen the thief walk out of the crowd and pick up his valise before the cry of robbery was raised. ouid never have remembered the circumstances if the detective had not stopped the thief as he was ng ay **How dol pick out a thief?’’ said one of the cleverest detectives at Police H what “. * ‘ @ : vt ¥ * - , iia , ¥ . g oo ween a mm ge ot : ‘ at 2 ) Oe ad oe * es ‘ _.. a oo, > ae el $y » Le he pe a = ‘ a F 4 oe ; wore

THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. Insurance in St. Louisa. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: It is reported that the St. Louis Board of Underwriters propose to advance the rates of fire insurance, and that their reason for so doing is the heavy losses by the freon Broad- way between Franklin avenuc and Morgan street. Of course the existence of a combi- nation to raise rates subjects all the particl- pants to the ,enalties of the anti-trust laws of the State, but that isa matter for the courts to attend to, andit is quite certain that no public officer will do his duty in the case. But there is question which requires a com- lete and gs answer before policy olders will consent to any further exaction on the part of the insurance combination, and that question is, ‘‘How much is an in- surance policy in St. Louis worth?’’ In the Broadway fire, the destruction of the stock and building on the west side was complete as everybody knows. There was no chance for the fine work of the adjuster, for the en- tire property being wiped out, any talk about salvage would have been absur There could have been no question as to over insur- ance, for the insurance agents are too sharp to allow over insurance and rates are already so high that no St. Louis merchant carries any larger policy than hets obligedto. The oft-used and convenient plea of tncendiarism or a ‘‘fire sale’’ in this case is barred by the high standing of the firms whose property was destroy ed. Thus was an eas matter to the loss, which was, of course, the total amount of the policies, and if the companies were able to meet their obligations the pay- ment was only a matter of drawing a check. The amount of the insurance at risk was pub- lished, and, it is believed, was something over a miilion of dollars. But the amount for which the in- surance companies settled has been carefully concealed. Call the insurance a million and say the amount paid was $750,- 000 and thus it will appear that where property is totally destroyed a &t. Louis fire insurance policy is worth six bits on the Gollar. The general impression among bus!- ness men is that their policies are not worth as much, but at present the actual value isa matter of guess work, It is certain that in cases where the adjuster can set up the pose of salvage or over insur- ance or when they can scarethe policy holder with a threat of prosecution for incendiarism the value of the policy is almost nil. The underwriters are able to establish a combina- tion in spite of State law to fx rates and it would seem nee for them to establish a sys- tem which would show how much a policy is worth. The question, ‘‘What dol get for my money?’’ or ‘*‘How much Is this worth?’’ al- ways occurs to purchaégers of everything, fire insurance policies included. SUBSCRIBER, Col. Jonah’s Grievance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: | I have tried to believe and haveso assured my Democratic friends and neighbors that the ‘‘mad fit’’ ofthe St. Louts Republic over its defeatin the speakership contest woulda soon pass away, butI am convinced after reading its issue of to-day that itis the delib- erate purpose ofthat paper to do everything in its power tocreate dissensions and divis- ions in the Democratic party and thereby if possible hand grand old Missouri over tothe tender mercies of Mr. Chauncey I. Filley and his gang in 1892. Why its-ab- surd and wren uncalled for predictions ofa **disastrous splitin the Democratic party’’ —that there will ‘‘not bea dozen Democratic Congressmen returned next year in the Mis. reg Valley north ofthe old line of Mason and Dixon,’’ etc.? Is there an intelligent Democrat in Missouri who & not know that in making these predictions ‘‘the wish was father to the thonght?’’ Ifreports be true this man Jones deter- mined nearly a year ago to do just what he is now doing,and for reasons not even remotely connected with Mr. Millis’ candidacy for the Speakership. Indeed, there are many Demo- crats who believe that Jones’ real grievance against the Democracy dates months back of the speakership fight, but the facts, if they are facts, will doubtless be made publicin due time, .

The Tiny Tots Play Their Games and Receive Christmas Presents—A Dona- tion From Two Ladies—The Pro- grammes Rendered by the Children— Their Dances With Old Santa Claus. Owing to the vast amount of work incum- bent upon him, and the vast stretches of ter- ritory mecessary for him to cover, Santa Olaus had to arriveat Jeffersonand Shields Kindergartens somewhat ahead of time, and asa consequence the little people in those admirable institutions gave him warm receptions this morning. At Jefferson Kin- dergarten, corner of Wash and Ninth streets, they had a rapturous time. The pretty rooms were decorated in the gayest possible manner and better still, all the or- hamentation came from the hands of the lit- tle ones. For two weeks past they have been preparing for this reception of St. Nicholas and they had manufactured yards and yards a = , Wm. Caroline as Santa Claus. of chains out of gilt and white paper, and these chains were festooned from the ceil- ings in an artisticand bewildering manner. On every hand bright and pretty things caught theeye. But these products of deft fingers were not the only pretty things in sight, by any means, for there were the chil- dren and their teachers and their grown-up sisters. THE CHRISTMAS TREE. An@ then there was a big Christmas tree, so big and so round that some of the little people got to wondering however Santa Claus was going to get the presents offof the top- most branches, Thattree was a wonderful affair, It was so big that its tip brushed the lofty ceiling and it was as fullasa crabapple tree of pretty presents. Some of the presents were for the kinder, and some forthe parents, andali the gifts for the grown people were ornaments made from paper and tinsel. There were big balls made of knots of paper, lookingfor all the world like exaggerated pop-corn balls, and calendars wonderfully made, and things ex- plicable only to the familiar mind; Dat pretty. . The place was as full as it could hold of parents and other relatives of the children, These formed an interesting and interested crowd at the Wash street end of the bullding. They faced the big Christmas tree at the other end. The intervening space was de- voted to the 200 little people who were to play a star engagement. fcourse Miss Mary Mc- Culloch, Supervisor of Kindergartens, was there. Youcouldn’t keep her away if you wanted to, and she was in a state of ex- uberance. The directress of the Kinder- ten, Miss Julia Nievergelder, was surrounded by her assistants, isses Jane A. Tobias, Louise L. McKibben, Mellie E. Mardane, Bessie Longman, Jennie Dickey, Annie Clar- per and Ada Grier. Before the exercises be- Zan a pathetic little note fromthe mother of one of the Httie Kindergartres, who had gone toa still brighter Kendergarten, was read. The broken-hearted mother wrote: DEAR KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS—Please accept inclosed $10 in memory of ‘‘ Franzie’’ for the Jeffer- son K. G. Christmas tree fund and oblige, your for the children, Mrs. DELIA KogTHOF?P, Mrs. J. D. DINKELMANN. Then the games and the singing began. The singing, led by the trained voices of the teachers, was well worth going a long way to hear, and the games were entered into with an enthusiasm that carried them through with eclat. The programme was practically the same at both kindergartens, and consisted of songs, games, imitating everything under the sun, from scissors grinder and the car- penter, the snall, the chicken,cats and mice, to ligards and birds. There were preNse songs commemorative of Christmas and com- plimentary to Santa Claus, who was mo- mentarily expected. Santa Claus made his appearance at both schools at about the sametime, The Jeffer- son Kindergarten Santa Claus was Mr. Will- lam Caroline—this is given out on the quiet. This gentleman wore a red suit, big hootsand a fur hat and he danced with the little peo- le, carried them on his shoulders and icked up a terrible racket. Thenhe gave every littie boy and girl an orange,a bag of candy, a pretty book and atoy and then made his escape leaving a never to be for- gotten memory behind him, AT THE SHIELDS. At Shields Kindergarten, cornerof Seventh and Biddle streets, Miss Annie E. Harbaugh was assisted by Misses Loulse Debenham, Emily Logue, Fannie J. Hagaman and Stella ©. Salisbury. There were 110 children there and they had the best possible time and they all got + ye and oranges and nuts and candies and books. To-morrow other kinder- gartens: will be visited by Santa OCOlaus.

Racket A mysterious and probably fatal clubbing of an unknown man occurred on Secon: and Elm streets about 6 o’clock yesterday even. ing, and three men are under arrest on « in. picion of having hada hand in tho beating At about 9 o’clock last night Officer Rruce found a man lying on the sidewalk in fron: of @ saloon at Second and Elm streets bie. profusely froma gashinhis head. Hoe apparently under the liquor. OMicer Bruce sent the fy jured man to the Dispensary, when Dr. Steinmetz examined the wound and « ild it was serious, but not necessarily fa: il, as the skull was not fractured. Bruce ret urned to the place wheré he found the man, and in the Saloon he discovered a heavy club, covered with Dilood. August Wetrer, the saloon keeper, could not explain how the club became blood. stained, and Bruce arrested him and his bar. keeper, Samuel Boken. Later in the nicht he also arrested Henry Becker, who was lounge. ing about the saloon and seemed to know something about the clubbing. The injured man in his conscious moments gave two names to Dr. Steinmetz—Thomas McQuade and Thomas Farrell. When he reached the City Hospital he sank Into a sem!-conscious state and be. Came blind. As he cannot see any one ani js still partially unconscious the police are holding the three men arrested until he is in condition to say whether they are the men who struck himor not. The police do not know the injured man and they donot be. lieve he gave his right name, ‘ing wags influence — of Another Change Racket Victim. Mrs. Maud Gosnell, keeper of a small no- tion store at 272242 Chouteau avenue. was taken in by achange swindler because she failed to read the papersand take warning One of the hod-carriers at workon a bricK | from published accounts of the ‘‘change building out in the suburbs climbed up to the first story Thursday. Then he fell. and the hod, the bricks and the ladder fell on him. When the debris had been pulled away, the hod.carrier was lying face downward onthe pavement, stone senseless. There wasn’t a drug store ora doctor within half a mile. A bricklayer put on his coat and tore for the nearest patrol box. Meantime the hod- carrier was lying there in a rather nasty mess of blood. a paren thinking about nothing in particular. The boss was spores about, Kicking blocks of wood into the stree and swearing atthe laziness of the police. The big plasterers who could drive a spike with their fists were standing around as help- less as children. At this time a young woman in a blue cloak came briskly across the street. She was pretty and rosy, witha lot of yellow hair drawn up tightly from her temples, and she had a most decided look in her bright, blue eyes. She brushed the big fellows aside and asked briskly: ‘‘What’s the trouble here, men?’’ **One of the boys has busted himself wide open,’’ said the boss, politely. ‘*Let me see,’’ said the pretty girl, drop- ing on her knees beside the hod-carrier. She ook off a dainty kid glove and with her little white hand felt the man’s skull, ‘*No bones fractured here,’’ she said, look- ing up at the group. hen she noticed the pool of blood lying beside the man’s right arm, and whippinga pair of pocket scissors out of her reticule she ripped up the coat sleeve and the sleeve of the brown flannel shirt. ‘‘Goodness!’’ she said. ‘‘An jg has been cut. Give me a piece of twine quick,.’’ The boss pulleda bit of coarse string from his coat pocket and handed it to the giri. She drew it quickly around the man’s arm, made a loop-knot, thrust a pencil into the loop and twisted till the cord sank deep into the flesh. **You hold this,’’ she said to the boss, and the big man knelt down and grabbed the ligature. Then she had some water brought out. She washed the scalp wound Ina jiffy. Then she cut among the loose flesh with the scissors, and with plaster and a strip of linen from this same preposterous she made a neat bandage. Then shearoseand vieweda pretty job of aro gay surgery with rea- sonable complacency. The patrol wagon and the hod-carrier came around at the same time. As the wagon backed up the hod-car- rier opened his eyes and saw the girl inthe blue cloak. the boss ‘*Are you hurt much, Mike?’’ asked. ‘*Naw,’’ said the hod-carrier. ‘*Take me somewhere thatIcan getadoctor. Idon’t want no dom woman monkeyin’ ‘round me,.’’ The girl doctorin blue lookedat him qulz- ginuly and laughed as she washed the gore from her hands in the bucket of water, Why Gov. Hill Is a Bachelor. From the Chicago Mail. A New Yorker, who has been a close friend of Governor-Senator David Bennett Hill since. the days when they studied ‘‘readin’ ’ritin’ and ‘rithmetic’’ togetherin the same little red school-house, wasin Chicago the other day and talked rather freely about affairs, political and otherwise, in the Empire State. ‘No,’’ he said, ‘‘I don’t think the Baby Ruth racket ig going to boom Cleveland at Hill’s expense, but I’ll acknowledge that Dave would be a stronger man with the people if he had married long ago and raised a family. He ought to do it even now, but that’s a point on which he is hopelessly ob- stinate and unreasonable, And, by the way, en toe know what it was that started Dave Wel down the devious paths of bachelorhood? ell, it was neither more nor iess than the same malevolent combination which started the big Chicago fire—a cow and alamp. It occurred thuswise. When Dave was a cal- low youth of W or thereabouts he was desperately in love with @ certain 16- year-old village belle, whose name we will uppose to have been Sallie Jones. Sallie herself took kindly to young David, but Sai- lie’s parents didn’t. They favored a more promising suitor, who hag since fulfilled that promise and risen to the dignity of townsh! onstable. Accordingly the ‘‘cruel parents’ icap was placed on Dave and Sallie in ‘ er, They were never permitted to be alone together, and what little courting Dave did was dope under the eagle eye of the girl’s mother, a rheumatic ol lady whose crutch was the household Dave was a even in th days, so when the hated rival was out of ter-famflias was attendin histiods he village grocery je chatted nervously wi Sal ss about al tac aaw want er until presently the’ cow was heard m. -***7Land o’ mercy!’ ejaculated the old lady. MS. believe that critter’s in my flower- ‘* ‘Never mind, mother,’ asserted | the out lle. ut me your crutch and Dave Out she flew, crutch in hand, and Dave excitement over the suc- is plot _, slammed the d tha blew out the racket’’ as operated in this city recently. Yesterday afternoon a shabbily dressed young man entered the store and asked her if she would give him a $2 bill for some smal! change, He wanted to send the money away, he said, and displayed an envelope he had in his hand. Mrs, Gosnell gave him a $2. bill and hethrew some change on the counter. While she was counting it the stranger made a pretense of putting the bill in the envelope and sealing it, but he slipped the money into his pocket Instead. Mrs. Gosnell found the change was 5 cents short of $2, and told him so. The _ stranger could not find another five-cent plece in his pocket, so he took the small change and gave Mrs. Gosnell the envelope to hold while he went around the corner. An hour or so later Mrs. Gosnell became suspicious that She had been swindled and opened the envelope, It was addressed to **Miss Jennie Slater, De Soto, Mo.,”’ and inside the envelope ona plain sheet of paper was written: My DEAR MADAME-—Yours rec'd. I will call to-morrow. lam not feeling well myself, Yours truly, AD. This note was evidently written for the benefit and entertainment of the victim, whoever it might be. Mrs. Gosnell called in Officer Camp and stated the case. She said her visitor was a man. about 45 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighed about 150 pounds and had dark hair and a small sandy mustache. The most striking feature was a hole in his left cheek made by a Enife thrust or gun shot wound, He was dressed ina dark sult well worn, and wore a Diack slouch hat. Mrs. Gosnell said she could identify the swindler if he was arrested. The police in struct allsmall shopkeepers to be onthe lookout for the change racket swindler and immediately on his appearance to ralsea hue and cry and attract the altentionof an officer. Another Charge of Robbery. Chief Desmond fastened another case of highway robbery on John Fenn, alias Mc Carthy, this morning. Fenn was arrested on Third and@ Plum streets, last Sunday, for holding up vohn Rush and robbing him of a watch and $2. Theodore Elgis @ paper carrier, living at 6255 Gravols road, saw the notice of the arrest in the daly apersand yesterday he called at the Four Sourts. He said he was held up on Third and Plum streets a few hours before. Rush was robhed on Sunday morning by two men, one of whom held a revolver to his head while the other searched his pockets. He ran and they shot at him, but the builet missed him, Finn was taken before igi and the carrier positively identified the pris oner as the same man whoheld him up and shot at him. Another warrant was issued charging Finn with highway robbery. Fight in a Saloon. At 6:30 o’clock last night Wm. H. Worsam walked into Albert Schmidt’s saloon at 2 University street and called for a drink.

Auditor Joseph Brown began his rounds to-day to find out if the heads of departments would not co-operate with him in getting the clerks paid, but he met scant encouragement. Street Commissioner M. J, Murphy said the whole Christmas salary business was ‘*‘buncombe.’’ ‘*Comptroller Stevenson is pretty near right,’’ he said, ‘*when he speaks of the employes squandering their money if they gotitnow. Some of them, of course, would take their money home to their fam- ilies, but many would not have a cent by New Year’s Day.

Reister Jose Wherry some time ago concluded that the Comptroller was interfering with the affairs of his office and has held himself aloof from himever since. Since the talk about Christ- mas salaries arose, Treasurer M. J. Foerstel has heard some invidious remarks about the watch the city employes quoted as coming from the troller, and he feels resentful. Brown feels sure that Comptroller had sympathizea with the proposition to pay the December Salaries this week, the plan would have gone through without any trouble. ‘‘I am quite sure,’’ said Deputy Auditor Joseph Brown, Jr., the nephew of the Auditor, ‘‘that Gen. Steven- son used to be as anxious as anybody else to get his Christmas money paid in advance when he was in the Water Rates office, and I think if records are examined it will be found that he got it, too.’’ Auditor Brown has assured the clerks in his office that they will be paid, at any rate. Electric Poles on Pretty Streets. Councilman Nelson Cole has come to the relief of the householders on the residence streets of the city, who are incessantly vexed by the efforts of electric companies to put up unsightly poles along the sidewaiks. At present the companies make their applica- tion to Electric Light Superintendent A. J. O’ Reilly. Under the law he has to give them permission to put up the poles unless strong opposition ap- pears from the people living where the line is torun. Generally he tries tosave the street irom disfigurement by asking the company to put its poles in analley nearby. This never suits their purpose and they insist on the original application, Then supt. ©’ Reilly sends the application to the Board of Public Improvements. It is advertised in a paper where people do not see it, and the first thing a West End resident knows he wakesup some morning and sees polemen digging holes in his sidewalk. Then he rushes down tothe City Hall, butit is too late, and the poles go up. There are two applications of this sort now before Supt. O’Rellly. One ofthemis to put up poles on Olive street west, and the other for poles on West Washington avenue. ifthe people living along there object the poles will hot go up. Councilman Cole’s bill proposes that all these applications shall come before the As- sembly, and be passed on there. In this way everybody will Know of it when a company intendstorunalne along a street, and the plan may be frustrated if it is objectionable . The Council on Sprinkling. The only pointin the sprinkling bill that may delay itin the Council is the clause add- ing five more inspectors to the present force. There seems now to be som” objection to that increase. Itis said that p saeteen inspectors, each with a horse and DOLE , Ought to beable to oversee all the sprinkling in the city. “upt. W. L. Johnson says that thereisa mistake. ‘‘With the mang miles of new sprinkling, it will be utterly impossible for the inspectors to watch the work of the con- tractors unless we can get the few more we ask. Ihave caleulated that if we tried to in- spect the sprinkling with the present force each man would have to cover over thirty . It needs no argument to show this is impracticable. A Sprinkling Inspector not only has to drive over the district heis looking after but he must keep himself informed about the rea- sons for bad sprinkling, and he must report atthe office frequently and Keep me con- stantly advised asto the condition of the work. Allthis takes time, and doingit the inspector can’t keep his eye on thirty miles of Streets.’’ Burnet Wants No Loud Colors. Three blocks of beautifully smooth, light- brown sandstone lay againsta pile of the yellow City Hall brick over in Washington Park this morning, and President Geor Burnet stood near with Architect Geor , Mann and discussed the parmos of the colors. The stone is the kin Archil- tect Mann wants to use for the orna- mentation of the hall. It will take $60,000 to buy the quantity needed, and to cut it will take as much more. ‘-We must havea stone that will harmon- ize with the granite and brick,’’ said Presi- dent Burnet, ‘fand that Kentucky q is the only place where we can get it. he color of the stone must be quiet, like this. Wecan’t use red stone, such as you see around town.. That would be too loud, and would make the front of the City Hall look like a big checker board, There is a puft- colored stone down near Ste. Genevieve, but it’s too far froma railroad to be available. The stone in the Merchants’ Bridge, which came from Bedford, Ind., is about the right color, but it cuts up into holes and wouldn't sult our purpose.

Ever- man as Chairman and ©, G. Beardsley as Secretary, the following resolutions were adopted by acclamation: Resolyed, That we, the planters and factors of Washington County, recognizing the intense finan- cial strain and absolute distress which now hangs like a pall over the cotton-producing country, grow- ing out of overproduction under present arrange- ment, and thatin future we see no hope for the pro- ducers unless some radical remedial changes are made in the system now in vogue, to the end that less cotton be raised or its production be cheapened. Resolved, That we indorse the call fora econven- tion of those interested in the poadetias of cotton. to be held in Memphis, Tenn., on dan. 8, prox. looking to the amelioration of our condition, and that the Chairman appoint the delegates to attend said convention. Resolved, That a permanent organfzation of planters, merchants and all others interested in roducing cotton in this county be at once organized on such a basis as will promote the spirit of the fore- going resolutions. Resolved, That the citizens of the other counties interested alike with us in this question be requested to take immediate action to the same end. A permanent organization was then ef- fected anda convention called in Memphis for Jan. 8.

HOW HIS COUNSEL WILL ATTEMPT TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE. Facts Which the State Has So Far Placed Before the Jury—The Doctor’s Money Runs Short—A Panic Among People in Denver Who Are in Fear of Being Poi- - goned. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 23.—The prosecution in the trial of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves for the murder of Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby ex- amined its last witness yesterday. When court opened this morning the defense placed Edward Field onthe stand. Mr. Field is the Clerk of the Probate Court in Providence, R. I. He said that in May last the wills made by Mrs. Barnaby were offered for probate. The second will was handed him by Dr. Graves. This will was handed him in - sealed envelope and it showed no oy el of having been opened. He received Pr. Graves’ office and opened it and atthe doctor’s request. When cross m: ined by Mr. Pence witness said Lawyer Va‘, Slyck gave him one of the wills, Van Si “x wasthe custodian of Mrs. . "s oFrop- erty. eA 4 ! THE DOCTOR’S FRIEND. Col. Daniel Ballou ©f counsel for the ‘\«- fense was the next witness.. HH said he had lived in Providence, R. I., t@emty-six years, and had practiced iaw a years, He had been Clerk tie Court of Common Pleas : Providence, and had served oy tue war. He met Dr. Graves »Iioic ‘Pircy-five years agoata Connecticus s°)o.'. Some three or four years ago tii? «ctor renewed the ac- quaintance. Viti ess co: tinued that about g@ year ago t® «ctor consulted him about gome little + «t -rs, but since then he had done «> '*.,.! business for him until this trial. "" ‘°eame acquainted with -Mrs. Barnahy 1 (c.co>er, 1889. He was summoned tothe o:ive of Dr. Graves to see a woman who wan") his advice. Thig was Mrs. Barnaby. i’. Graves said she wished to consult him and Mrs. Barnaby said she was thinking of employing a Mr. Colwell, a law- yer, but had decided not to do so. A remark dropped incidentally by Judge Macon, one of the defense, discloses the fact that Dr. Graves’ lawyers will endeavor to prove by the witnesses which they will pro- duce upon the witness stand, that Mrs. Worrelland Mrs. Barnaby, who died inthe most excruciating agony, were not only not good friends, but that they were in effect the most virulent of enemies. They will produce witnesses, they say, who will ewear that the estrangement fromthe friend- ship that joined the two in intimate relations atonetime operated toa discontinuance of the visits thatthe two at one time made be- tween Chester, Pennsylvania, and Provl- dence;and that, although the breach was partially healed, the difficulties at the bot- tom of # all were renewed and contested @zain on the Pacific coast. THE STATE’S CASE, The close of the State’s case, so faras the taking of direct evidence, suggests the query, how clearly has the prosecution set forth the guilt of the defendant’ To those who have watched the testimony the chain of evidence appears to be strong. These facts seem to have been established: Mrs. Barnaby’s death was caused by poison; the bottle labeled ‘*From Friends in from which she _ took the fatal drink, waS mailed to her by Dr. Graves; two witnesses have sworn that Dr. Graves confessed this facttothem. It has been shown by several witnesses that the ‘contents of the bottle was not tampered with after its receipt in Denver untilit passed in- to the hands of Mrs. Barnaby; therefore it must have contained the poison when Dr. Graves placed it in the mail. The motive Sor the crime lies in the fact shown in evidence that in the wili of Mrs. Barnaby Graves was a beneficiary tothe extent of $25,- 000 and was named as sole executor of her estate, aggregating $100,000; that he feared a prolongation of her life might change their Felations and deprive him of his legacy. FEAR OF POISON, Among the many noticeable features of this case is the evidence of fear which has seized many people of Denver in regard to arsenical poisoning. No less than fifteen bottles of suspicious solutions have been brought to the Heaith Department at the City Hall for analy- sis and identification. They have been deliy- ered to Health Inspector Taylor for examina- tion. Mr. Taylor received these suspicious bottles with the dark, unforbidding liquid with eyes wide open with astonishment and facetiousness. Nevertheless he submitted their contents toa rigid examination and en- listed the services of Dr. Sewall in discover- ing whether their contents were deathly or harmless. In every case he discovered, to the great relief of the frightened applicants, that the contents of the bottle supposed to contain the essence of agony and death were harmless as to poison, but generally the whisky was bad enough. There are indications that one of Dr Graves’ many troubles is financial strin*® gency. The defense, in fact, makes no secret ofthis. He has been under heavy expense, naturally. Thetruth is that Dr. Graves was always opposed to enlisting in his behalf the services of any secret service. He maintained to his attorneys that a man innocent of crime would not be compelled, as a matter of ne- cessity, to make an elaborate and systematic defense. Ashehas represented himself to be such to his defenders, of course he insisted | that detective service wasa luxurious and unnecessary adjunct tothe proper defense ofthe case. But his attorneys insisted that they were in need of the information that the anonymous operators could supply them, and they were engaged. ABOUT TOWN. Miss ROsE O'BoYLE has been elected Secretary of the Young Ladies’ Sodality at the Rock Church. JOUN MILLER of 2637 Hickory street was driving on Lasalle street yesterday when his horse became frightened and ran away.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Ten days ago Col. John R. Davis of Missis- sipp!, who had beena resident of the Old Men’s Home sincea year ago last April, re. celved a stroke of paralysis. This was fol- lowed ina few days by another, and thena third, which proved fatal. The deceased wasa couisin of Sefrerson Davis and during the war the Colonel of a Mississiippi regiment Known as the Tigers. Col, Davis had in his possession the original knife constructed for Col, Jim Bowle, who, though a native Kentuckian, moved to Texas and married the daughter of ex-Gov. Veramendi. The knife was said tohave been invented while Col. Bowle was confined to his bed in Natchez, suffering from the effects of a wound he had received in a Border fray. He was a man 0o great mechanical ingenuity, and whittied it out of white pine as a model for a garter | are which he sent to two brothers name in the city ot Natches,and toid hem to spare no expense in makingit. It en made from & large sawmill file and afterward perfected by an Arkansas biack- smith. Davis, who was a young man at the time, was present the first time the knife, as per- fected, was used in aduel and, as he de- scribes the scene, the oy ony scut the under- brush down and eee tto the death. The peculiar part of the knife was that the end was poisoned,an operation that cost Col. Bowle $10. JOHN A. J.

ST. LOUIS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 323. 1891. ON AMERICAN SOIL. United States Troops Attack Sixty of Garza’s Revolutionists., THE INTRUDERS ROUTED IN TWO LIGHT ENGAGEMENTS, Capt. Bourke in Command—Corporal Ea- strom Killed and Lieut. Hayes Wounded—Loss of the Enemy Un- known—An Attempt to Sack the Mexi- can Town of Camargo Defeated. LAREDO, Tex., Dec. 23.—The skirmish yes- terday between Mexican revolutionists- and United States troopsin Starr County, Tex., has caused a good deal of excitement in this city and, in fact, all along the Rio Grande. From the most reliable information that can be obtained of yesterday’s encounter it seems that Capt. Bourke and his handful of soldiers deserve great credit fortheir two attacks on the revolutionists,outnumbered three to one, as they were, and being unacquainted with the country. The first information the command at Fort Ringgold had of the location of the revolu- tionists came from United States Deputy Marsbal Banda of Hidalgo County, the next county on the Rio Grande below Starr County, and but one county from the Gulf. Banda’s information was that about sixty of Catarina Gargza’s men were encamped in Starr County, near the line of Hidalgo County, and not far from Retawal, from which point they expected to proceed during the night (night before last) to La Grulla, where they were to cross the Rio Grande and make a sudden attack on Camargo, which is quite an important town on the river and in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. This attack was to be a part of a general plan of Garza and his troops, said to number several hundred all told and which he has gathered together mostly on this side of the Rio Grande. They have been living in the woods encamped in small numbers at different points and supplied with money and provisions froma source and in a@ manner not yet definitely Known. One division or company was to rendezvous near Los An- geles, Encinal County, Tex., from whence they were to cross into Mexico at a point a few miles above this city, Laredo. Another division was to cross near VUarrizo, Tex., about sixty miles below here in Zapata County, with the purpose of drawing Mex!- can troops from Guerrero, on the opposite side of the river and from Mier and Camargo, a short distance below, to give a third body of revolutionists an opportunity to cross at La Grulla and attack Camargo. It was 6:30 o’clock Monday evening when the information was received at Rio Grande City, Tex., and it was necessary to move at once if the premeditated sacking of Camargo by tbe revolutionists was to be prevented. Capt. Bourke hurriedly left camp with Lieut. Charles Hayes and a few mounted men and were followed a little later By a wagonload of infantry, who went directly to La Grulla, where the revolutionists were to cross the river. The latter were awaited there by another United States Deputy Marshal, Thomas Garza, and made acquainted with the plans of his namesake’s forces so far as he knew them, Capt. Bourke had Lieut. Hayes and nine- teen privates and shortly after midnight advanced carefully upon the revelutionists. ‘ihe challenge of the picket, ‘‘Quien Vive?’’ (who lives?) was not re lied to, whereupon the picket and a comrade fired on the Amert- can soldiers, but without effect. Capt. sourke’s men quickly responded, firing three volleys ‘kneeling, with what effect is not known. The entire force of revolutionists, reported as about sixty in number, broke and ran and were soon out of sight in the dark- hess. Capt. Bourke and his command then marched to Retarnal Springs, expecting to meet them again, and Gid so about noon yes- terday. Another attack was made, and this timetwo ofthe American soldiers fell, Cor- poral Chas. 8S. Edstrom with three bullets in his body, and Lieut. Hayes with a slight wound in his chest. The attack was kept up until the revolutionists retreated again, tak- ing their dead and wounded with them. The result of the shooting done bythe United States soldiers is still unknown. Private Loyd of the Third United States Cavalry was captured by the Garza forces, but he made his escape and got back to his company allright. Lieut. Hayes’ horse was also recovered and one of the horses of the} enemy was captured with a Winchester rifle, 120 rounds of cartridges, a saddle, bridle and sombrero, on which wasa white badge with the letters, ‘‘Libres fFrontierzos’’ (free frontier). Three of the revolutionists were captured later at La Grulla by Capt. Bourke and are now in the guard- house there. A company of twenty-five mounted infan- trymen left here (Ft. McIntosh) last Monday tojoina company of cavalry under Capt. Hardie that has been out several days lo0ok- ing for the Mexican revolutionists said to be in this vicinity. They are accom- panied by a number of State Rangers anda Sheriff’s posse from this city, but nothing has been heard from them as yet. Afew days ago one of Garza’s men was captured by six State Rangers but they were forced by a band of revolutionists, number- ing some seventy-five men, to let him go. This band was followed the next by United States troops until men crossed the river between Ft. Ignacio and Carrizo. The revolutionists reached the river ten hours ahead of the United States soldiers. At the crossing the bandits killed three of the guards of the Mexican Custom- house at that point and also a woman. It is reported here that this body of revolu- tionists were met by a company of Mexican soldiers on the Salado ver not far from Carrizo, but’ the report needs confirmation. A prisoner locked up at Nuevo Laredo, across the river from here, is said to have been captured in that skirmish. Ranchmen 1. Encinal County complain that their beeves and mutton were stolen and killed by the gang of outlaws. They think it is high time that a stop of some kind was put to bands of this kind recruiting in the United States territory and molesting citizens. Mat- ters begin to assume the same phase which characterized that of the Cortini outbreak here many years ago, when neither property or life was safe. It is certain that Mexico can- not look after these marauders when they are on American soil, and Uncle Sam will have to devise some means to do it if he wishes to protect his citizens. The squad of soldiers that left here day be- fore yesterday in search of the bandits is sald to have been out on orders received from Washington. “Convenience.”’ ‘*Yes, Ifind the Chemical National Bank the most convenient place to keep my bank account, its location being so central.’’ A Boarding-House Keeper Shot. Chas. Cool, a printer, while under the in- fluence of liquor, went to his boarding -house, at 1410 Chestnut street, last evening, and while at the supper table got intoa heated gument with t roprietor, Wm. O’ Dell. Bons wound © the discussion by wing a revolver and dring several shots at O'Dell, one of which took effect in his wrist, inflict- ing a painful wound. Cool was locked up. A Grand Lunch.

How Mr. Pallen Was Rebuked by B‘shop Keane, and How He Ketaliated on the Distinguished Divins -- The ‘‘Church Progress’’ Editor’s Arswer to Arch- bishop Ireland—Churchmen Differ. Archbishop Ireland’s attack on the oppon- ents of the Faribault plan, and Dr. Bonquil- lon’s view of the Catholic educational ques- tion published in last evening’s Post-DIs- PATCH created a great deal of surprise inthis city. Anumber of his remarks were aimed directly at St. Louis people and they are not disposed to rest easy under his castigation. As explained in last evening’s paper, the art- icle which appeared in this paper on Sunday, vec, 13,anent the educational question which the New York Herald copied on the following Sunday as a special dispatch, was the cause of the Ireland interview. IRELAND’S STATEMENT A SURPRISE. Archfishop Ireland’s statement to the Her- ald reporter that the educational question was not brought up by the archbishops dur- fing the jubliee celebration comes in the nalt- ure of a surprise. It bas been understood here right along that inasmuchas the subject of education was made one of the principal topics on the programme at the next Catholic congress it was very thoroughly discussed by the archbishops while oytlining the work of the congress. Itis well known tivat Archbishop Ireland’s position by reason of his advocacy ofthe Fairbauit plan is a very difficult one inasmucha as he tween two fires, the criticism of lics who are not in (favor of plan and the criticism of Protestants who are opposed toit. The wide publicity given the Archbisbop’s little arrangement up at Fairbault ts not exactly what he desired. A little incident which occurred at a dinner party given by Nr. Theophile «Papin to some of the prelates during jubilee week serves to show § that the educational question was ever uppermost in the minds of some ecclesiastics even white indulging in social pleasures. bishop Keane of the Wahington University, of which Dr. Bonquillion is a professor, and Mr. Conde B. Pallen, the editor of the Church Progress and a most uncompromising opponent of the Faripault plan and Dr. Bon- guillon’s principles, were among the gueSts. Asthe party was leaving the dining-room Bishop Keane detained Mr. Pallen untii the guests had departed and then proceeded to read him a severe lecture for his attacks on the Faribault plan and Archbishop Ireland. The Bishop waxed itirogical anu is said to bave told Mr. Palien that he seemed to think his principal mission was to keep the American hierarchy within the pale of the church. The Bishop thought that Mr. Pallen was interesting himself unnecessarily in the matter and expressed a fear that he might overburden himself with the self-imposed task. Mr. Palien did not deem it necessary to make areply or in- dulge in any argument with his eclesiastical superior. He quietly biced his time and last week published an editorial tract from an article by Keane in the North Review of June,1885, in which tnat prelate con- demns strongly the schools in which religious influences are banished from the daily curric- ulum, and speaks with eminent disfavor of arrangements similartothe Faribault plan. In fact he appears in the light of an ardent supporter of the views which he took Mr. Pallen to task for advocating. EDITOR PALLEN INTERVIEWED. Mr. Pallen, the aggressive young editor who was referred to in strong terms in Arch- bishop Ireiland’s interview, was seen this morning in the editorial sanctum of the Cc ogress. **Yes, I’ve seen the Herald's interview,’’ he said, after greeting the reporter, ‘‘and am tting ready to reply to itin my next issue. ne Archbishop mentions with pride that several Vatholic papers have come over to His side of the question, the Freeman's Journal amongthem. That.paper in its last issue prints the article published in your paper some time ago, which. was copied in the Herald, and in commenting on it editorially uses nguage which is. anything but favorable to Archbishop Ireiland’s side of the question. As for the Catholic Mirror, it has been bankrupt for a 'ong time past and when it opposed the Archbishop’s side his sup- porters bought it out. That is the full expia- nation of their change of front. Now,in re to the Archbishop’s statement am the ‘narrowest of the narrow,’ 1 take pride in saying that In dealing with Catholic doctrine I would rather be called the ‘nar- rowest of the narrow’ thanthe ‘broadest of the broad. tes as ’ ‘*But what of the Archbishop’s explanation of the Faribault plan?’’ nation of the plan and con- public school system for instruction, he guilty of a cCOon- he admits that the school is under complete school rd—that in the matter of the laws and —— teach - as full , one iota of authority the pee School and in ct a therefore iacks — ee TS plan. Archbishop Ireland himself declares that it its an airy dream to i im- agine that this lack of Os - itive religious instruction can be made up by home and Sunday-school instruc- tion, and inasmuch as the Faribault plan pro4 vides merely for Sunday-schoo! instruction on week days after school hours it falls under his own condemnation as an airy dream. Certainly if the home cannot make up for this fatal lack of positive religious instruction and influence in the school-room for a stronger reason, a half hour’s catechism aftera longday of neutral instruction can not supply the deplorable omission. I De- lieve, as Bishop heane states in an article in the North Amer - ican Review of June, 1885, that religion to be reai should regulate aman’s whole conduct. Henceits influence ought to per- vade the whole training which prepares for life’sduties and therefore oughtto be con- stantly felt inthe school. Toleave it out of the scnool fora generation ortwo would be logically to divorce it fromthe lives of the puplis and in time drive them from indiffer- ence to hostility. ‘‘Archbishop Ireland’s reference to the letter of 1875 I do nottbink to be applicable to the present case forit can only be inter- preted in the light of the decrees of the Third Council of Baltimore upon which it was based. That Council permits a Bishop to aliow: children to attend a State school in particular individual cases, and can by no means be construed as a permission for a whole congregation to seud their children to a State school, especially when a parochial scloe! in every respect as good as the pub- school, as Archbishop Ireland in- the Faribault school was, has established and should be maintained, by order of the decree, per- petualiy. It seems curious that the meaning of that letter which was published in 1875 has only been found out in 1891, and in the mean- time under the obvious impression that the decree of the council was to be obeyed and that Rome had approved oi _ those decrees, the Catholics of this country at enormous expense andsacrifice have erected parochial schools to provide for a thoroughly Catholic education for their children in Keep- ing with the spirit and letter of the decree of the council which Arch- bishop Ireland himself subscribed to, It would certainly create consternation amongst the Catholic laity to hear that those decrees are not binding nor had Rome’s ap- proval. If the Faribault plan is permissibie then the Third Plenary Council in my mind legislated in vain, and all our laborin the cause of Catholic education goes for naught,’’ HOLLAIND DEFENDED. Archbishop Ireland’s ailusion to the an- tiquity of the arguments of the Jesuit Priest, Dr. Rene Hollaind, will not be allowed to pass unnoticed by the members or that order. A learned and distinguished member of that order con- nected with the st. Louis University in speaking of the matter this morning, sald: ‘*Truth is eternal. It never changes, or grows old ornew. There is nothing so obsti- nate as a principle, it can never change, though the application of it may vary with circumstances. The Archbishop says that Fr. Hollaind’s arguments are ancient but I cannot see how that can be. Jansen ‘De Facultate Docendi,’ from whom, he princi- ally draws his arguments, published his ok In 1855. r. Catherein, Von Hammerstein, Casta Rosetti, Meyer and other eminent writers on this subject on whom he drew free!y are all recent. Many of them are still living. Fr.

Some Say it isa neutral school. f it is the Pope’s létter to the Bavarian Bishops in 1887 and the recent encyclical on Christian citizenship condemn them in unequivocal terms. ‘*The danger of attending neutral schools arises from the fact that the instructor may not be imbued with religious principles, He mey be an agnostic, anda careless remark, dropped unintentionally err ora dis- torted view he may hold, wii ya the youthful mind and bear bitter fruit in the fu- ture.

With- outa tremor he faced the clerk and regis- tered, ‘‘Edmund fFitz¢erald, St. Lotis, America.’’ ‘‘Front, showthe gentleman to 215.’’ Inthe morning Fitz came down and asked the clerk, ‘‘I say, how much for that room of mine? I forgot to ask yesterday.’’ ‘*Three fifty per.’’ ‘*Toohigh. I guess I’ll haveto go up with your prices, raise me a little, will you?’’ That night Fitz went as far as the elevator dia and walked the rest. When he came down the clerk with his customary poiiteness asked, *‘How was the room?’’ Fitz turned up his coat collar and pulled his hat down—‘ ‘clear and cold, high winds, indl- cations for a drop.—Signal Service.’’ He paid his two dollars and came back to St. Louls, ‘*How’s Chicago, Fitz?’’ queried one of the gang at the cigar store. ‘‘Way up.

There is a gentleman in this city who is prominently connected with the T. P. A., which translated means Travelers’ Pro- tective Association. Itis an organization to protect the helpless drummer and to see that the wily public does not impose upon that guileless classof dependent humanity. This gentleman is married and has been in that condition for some time. During that time Christmas has come and gone with unvarying regularity and as regularly he had been given a hand- some present by his wife. One year it wasa china table service, another some furniture for the parlor, and so on. He observed that his presents were gradually absorbed by his wife and ultimately converted to her own use. A yearortwoago he broached the dis- mal subject of presents in the disconsolate circle of the protected which usually assem- bles at the headquarters. ‘‘My wife always gives me a present for herself,’’ he complained. ‘*‘Me, too,’’ was uttered with mournful unanimity. ‘‘l’libe jigfered if I don’t strike,’’ mur- mured the man as be went out with the rest, too overcome to protest against the rash move. He did it. When his wife looks at her pres- ent on Christmas morning she will think that she has been given what she has so iong wanted—a gold-headed umbrella with her monogram onit. It is not an umbrella. It isa gold-headed cane, deftly and cruelly dis- guised. HER SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE. Thereisa picture which has gained more orless favorable opinion from artists and critics. It has been extensively copied and is well known tothose who know pictures. Among the possessors of copies !s a certain gentieman in this city, and his copy hangs in a prominent place in his parlor. The picture represents a lot of shipping near the water edge with the moon slowly rising in the back of the canvass. The moon ts an important feature of the picture, but the river and the wharf and the ts are alsoa part of it. Under the picture is printed the single line: ‘-tever de Lune,.’’ which even a novice in French can tell you means the rising of the moon. Two ladies who had had the usual dab of French plastered on their respective educa- tions back in the reminiscent days, were looking at the picture one day and admiring it when one saidto the other: ‘‘What does that mean, Lever de Lune?’’ ‘*Why, moonlight on the levee, of course.’’ ‘*Oh, yes, I couldn’t think of it!’’ and then they changed the subject. THE MESSENGER’S MISTAKE. The messenger boy some times rises to sub- lime heights and turns philosopher at unex- pected moments. This one did. He was one of the ordinary variety with a blue suit, blue capand nickel-plated buttons. He was ina hurry as they en are in spite of all that Is said to the contrary.

As the Christmas crowds grow thicker and the wily pickpockets become more per- niciously active the police provide ex- tra precaution for the protection of the public. More men are tempo- rarily added to the detective force and are posted where the crowds gather and the reg- ular men on the beats are instructed to keep their weather eye out for suspicious charac- ters. The wora was passed down the line the other day, and Capt. Joyce, in command of the Third District, which is, as everybody knows, north of Washington avenue and east of Jefferson, gave his orders accordingly. When the roll was called, the order was read and supplemented by the sergeant with the remark: ‘*If you see any one who looks crooked ar- rest him on suspicion.’’~ ) His words were duly regarded by all the men, and a short time later a new man, whose name is withheld for the sake of his feelings, came from his beat near ‘‘ Wild Cat Chute.’’ Hehad with him three miserable and protesting prisoners. ‘*‘What charge?’’ said the Sergeant. **Suspicion.’’ ‘*What’s that?’’ ‘*Suspicion. They are crooked.’’ **How do you know that?’’ ‘*Can’t I see it with my own eyes.’’ Then the Sergeant lookedat the prisoners; two were huimpodacked and one had a wooden leg strapped to hisknee. Then the Sergeant in that gentle persuasive way for which the Third District is noted explained to the offi- cer that crooked did not mean crooked, it meant crooked, andanyone who could not tell a crook from a crooked man ought to go back to dirt shoveling.

THE CHRISTMAS ATTRACTIONS “The Struggle of Life’ at the Grand—At the Otter Theaters. Of course the circumstances under which **The Struggle of Life’’ came to Mr. Paulding may thoroughly justify the enormous ex- penditure of laborand money for its produc- tion, but one cannot help but regret that the subject of this costly and elaborate effort, which is presented at the Grand, is not more in line with the progress of the Grama and is not ofa kind more acceptable to the intelll- gent public. The play is modeled after the style of what is generally known as the ‘‘bilood and thun- der’’ melodramas. It details the struggle between heroic but injured virtue and og a n there are interesting and clever spots in the play and it has many which appeal strongly toa cent stage-setting, which is both and artistic.

It ought to be called ‘*Underground London,’’ because at the slightest provoca- tion the scene drops below the surface and the characters wander about in cellars and tunnels where light is apparently at the greatest possible discount. Méetodramatic climaxes are pientiful, villainy and virtue have an old fashioned tussle of the most stub- born description, and every fall of the cur- tain is accompanied by the wildest demon- Strations from the upper house. James M. Ward as Old Yom the boatman, has the strongest character in the play and does good work with it. The general support is well fitted for the requirements of the story.

St. Louis Medical Men Giving Much At- tention to a Study of It. The prevalence ofthe grip has made the dréau affliction a subject of much study to physicians and interest to those fortunate laity who are not sick abed with it. Ail the doctors of the city have their hands full in attenaing to patients suffering from in- fluenza and the hospital wards are filed with sufferers too poor to receive proper care at home. The eminent practitioners of the city have taken up the earnest study of the disease, At the last meeting of the Medical Society held Saturday evening, Dr. Ladwig Bremer reada paper entitied ‘‘Some Points in the Anatomy and Etiology of Influenza-Pnreu- monia.’’ AN INTERESTING REVIEW. The doctor introduced his subject with statement that ‘‘the course of the milder type of the disease rarely threatens the Iiife of the patient if the chief localization of the lung an influenza: poeum Suenza lung’’ is what up for consideration. the doctor then i ridehe - > es a ee started on its journey around the world, Dr. Ww. ©. Glasgow of this city had ca attention to a cullar type of pneumonia, which was probably sporadic influenza. THE GRIP MICROBE. After a detailed account of the erent stages of the disease, the doctor ret ed to the interesting little animal that is at the bottom ofthe epidemic. ‘*Whether or not it is possible,’’ he said, ‘‘to establish the mys- terious germ of this scourge, which proves so fatal in its immediate and so baleful in its secondary effects, at the end of the present epidemic, is a matter of uncertainty Judging from the results thus far obtained from the most laborious and instaking re- our present methods of search seem to be e usted and not much further light can be expected from them. Two years ago, when the same epidemic visited our city, 1 exhibited to this society, both in the test tube and under the microscope, what!I had found asa frequent rasite in influenza. A month or so later, ong cable dispatches to the press of this country stated that the same pathogenic germ had been discovered by a bacteriologist n Vienna. I believe t! at other observers be- side me had seen the micro- or- gantsm without attaching any exclusive etiological importance toit. The ubiquity of this parasite, its variability, its energies of growth and development, and its incon- stancy of form, which permits it to be con- founded with other similar microbes, im- poses on the investigator the greatest ceserve in drawing conclusions from the findings of ft itm the diseased lung of influenza patients. Indeed it is probable that It marks only a secondary in- vasion anda pneumonia supervenes on in- flUuenza as it does on typhoid fever or malarial disease, the germ of the lang troubie having nothing tn common with the one which produces the original affectton.’’ The Doctor judged from this that influenza is nothing but a typical form of erysipelas.

It Was Closed on the Day of Mr. Camp- bell’s Retirement From the Presidency of the Municipal Electric Light Co.— The Transfer Not Yet Recorded—Some Interesting Developments. There was a significant development this morning in the progress of events leading to ‘ the Municipal Electric Light Co.’s forfeiture of its contract for the city lighting. The de- velopment was one that has set financial circles and city officialsin a ripple of some- what excited conjecture as to its exact mean- ing, and has also caused a rumor to gain currency to the effect that a new electric light plant was to be established in st. Louts, which would have a strong bearing upon the present electric light situation. The development in question was the fact that Mr. James Campbell, the acting presi- } dent of the Municipal Electric Li a an Power Co., has just concluded a deal®y which he becomes the owner of property Sma@t has long been spoken of as the possible & and building to be occupied by a new elegtric light plant in St. Louis. This property, known to have been purchased by . Mr, pbell only within the past few days, the massive bullding known as theold Teuscher Distillery, located on St. Louls avenue, Detween First and Second streets. Thé fact of its purchase by Mr. Campbell first became current this morning, amd thére were certain at- tendant circumstances which apparent- ly furnished ground for con- necting the deal with the pending negotiations hetween the city and the Munic- ipal Electp’. Light & Power Co. regarding the latter’s tén-year contract forthecity lght- ing. SECRESY ABOUT THE DEAL. On Friday last the sale of the Teuscher dis- tillery property to Mr. Campbell was con- summated by the payment of the eamest money. There was considerable secrecy about the deal, and the record of transfer has not yet been made, but this much was learned through Third street cir- cles to-day, and the statement made that Finaneler Campbellis now the owner ofa distillery plant inaddition to his numerous other interests. The significant feature of this deal lies in the fact that also on Friday last Mr. Campbell ceased to be President of the Municipal Electric Light Co.; that Mr. R, T. McDonald of Ft. Wayne, Ind., was elected in his place, and that Mr. McDonald an- nounced on that day that the Municipal Electric Light Co. would relinquish its present contract with the city, ask for an increase in the price now paid for the city lighting, viz., from $74.95 per light to $130 per light, and failing to obtain that increase, pay to the city the $50,000 provided for in the contract and abandon the same, The Laclede Gas Light Co. has always stood in the position of a probable bidder forthe lighting of St. Louts by jelectricity in the event of any break between the Municipaland the municipal government. Mr. Campbell has been associated with the Laclede com- pany in nearly all of its more important moves for the past few years. Thereisan impression cwrrent in financial circles that these two facts might be put together with advantage in studying the latest develop- ment in the electric lignt situation. Immediately upon learning of the sale of the Teuscher distillery property to Mr. Campbell, a Post-DISPATCH reporter went this morning to see that gentleman relative tothe deal. The visit resulted in a confirma- tion of the story of the deal itself, Dut beyond that Mr. Campbell declined to discuss the matter, **IT have bought the Teuscher Distillery,’’ said he, ‘‘from the Distilling & Cattle Feed- of Peoria, Ill. who of the property. splendid building for certain purposes, being 160x95 feet, and the whole tract being 300x160 feet. The sale has been closed and I have made the first payment of $1,000 to bind the trade. The property is now mine, but the transfer has not yet been made. I must decline to state the price paid for the property.’’ **You say it is well adapted for certain pur- poses, Mr, Campbell. For what purpose do you propose to use it? **There are certain reasons that prevent my stating that purpose at present.’’ **Was it purchased as the site for a new electric power plant?’’ **I must decline also to answer that ques- tion,’’ replied Mr. Campbell. : ‘*Has the purchase any bearing upon the present electric light situation?’’ ‘‘Ilcannot answer any direct or indirect Questions of that nature, AslIsaid, there a reasons for my remaining silent at pres- ent.’’ ‘The general impression is, Mr. Campbell, that your purchase of the property means that a new electric light plant is to be estab- lished inst. Louis. Does that meana rival for the Municipal company or an enlarge- ment of that company’s plant?’’ ‘*Is it probable that there will be a rival in the feld when the Municipal is not making money as it is?’’ ‘“‘Idon’tanswer your question, but there is no reason whythere should be any talk ewe & rival company coming into the eld.’ Mr. Campbell declined to answer any further questions asto his purchase of the Teuscher Distillery, but expressed himself freely as to the future course of the Muni» cipal Electric Light Co., of which he is still a director, THE MUNICIPAL’S BUSINESS. ‘*‘Mr. McDonald, the new President, will be in St. Louls again this week,’’ said he. ‘‘and will probably remain for some days, rhatli Say now isan expression of his views as he bas expressed himself to me. ‘‘The Municipal Co. is force the city to come its terms, hor is it dependent upon the city lighting contract for its business. It is work- ing in a legitimate business way for its own interests, as I will now explain. The company lias a far larger and more remunerative field oifered to it than that of the city lighting. It has at present an arc plant of 6,000 lights ca- pacity. It has in use about 3,300 lights, public and private, It is putting in incandescent and —— dynamos and expects to have in service y the fall of 1892 at least 80,000 incandescent lights. With this extension of capacity, the electric power business is developing to such an extent that the company sees where it can utilize allthis power now eniployed for arc lighting that does not pay into electric power that will pay far more than any ad- vance it could expect from the city, The at- tempt therefore, to secure that advance is not a demand, it is a Piain business proposition. Ifthe city does not see fitto make the advance, it is to the Municipal company’s interests to pay the forfeit of $50,000 and go into the business of supplying electric power, in which there is bound to be wonderful development in the next few years. Sothat the whole question is simply as to what is most profitable for the company to do. Mr. McDonald has no intention of saying to the city: ‘You must pay this advance or we will shut off the lights,’ he will merely cause an ordinance to be introduced in the Municipal Assembly asking for the increase in price and this he expects will cause a discussion of the situation that will aid in the increase being granted. The Municipal company made @ mistake in its estimates when it en- tered into that contract, and itis is now willing to pay $50,000 for that mistake and be then at liberty to do a profitable business. The city need not be disturbed by this course. Ifit should appear tothe city more profit. able to have bids submitted for the city lighting that could be done. should the contract be let to other parties, the Muni- cipal company would In the interim continue the lighting and charge the successful bidder arate based upon hisbid.

A Most Significant Opposition to High Tariff Editorials—Whya Plan for Fur- nishing Them Wholesale Was Aban- doned—The Germans and the Schoc Laws—Not a Love Feast. SPRINGFIELD, Dll., Dec. 25.—Since the ad- nt ofthe meeting of the Republican editors held in thiscity, the conclusion he been arrived at that the gathering did f more harm than good to the party, and it more than likely that there will not be an other meéting, at least for some time te come. The object of the meeting was tc secure unity of action on national and State measures, but discord rather than concord was the result, as is shown by what has since cropped out concerning some discus- sions in committee. A proposition had been submitted to the Executive Committee, and they had deter- mined to favorably recommend it to the as- sociation,to provide each country paper one in two weeks with 120 inches of plate matte in regard to the tariff. The price to 0 charged was 15 cents 4 foot. When the Exece tive Committee met, the night before, the discovered that quite a number of the edito would not use the plates unless they advo cated a reduction of the tariff ona large num ber of articles. They sald the placing o sugar on the free list and the consequent re- duction in price had opened the eyes of man who had been blindly following the protec tion theorists; andthe men who had here tofore been loud in thetr demands for highe duties were now insisting that ail artich needed by the masses should be placed upor a@ like basis with sugar. When attention w called to the bounty which was paid upe sugar, the farmers rebelled because thej could not see why the sugar-raisers shoul receive a bounty while the corn and whe raisers received none. This effectually di posed of the plate matter and it was ne mentioned. Ged. Smith D. Atkins was down for an ac Gress on the public schools, and it was ff tended to have a general discussion of thi subject and follow it up with a resolution in dorsing che action of the Republicans in th last State Senate in refusing to amend th Here another diff culty presented itself. A number of editors publishing papers tf communities where there are Germans ga the committee to understand that an ip dorsement of the action of the Senate wo keep the Germans Inthe Democratic party even if they were not theretostay. The men were very emphatic in their denuncia tion of the action of the Republican branc of the Legislature in not redeeming the pledg the party made in its platform. Not or this, but they were unanimous in the opinio that fully three-fourths of the Germans wh bad heretofore been Republicans had le that party for good and all and would vo with the Democrats. Thus it came avpot that another important question W shelved. It was intended that Senator Mathes, th / President of the association, would give history of the last Legislature and point ¢ how the Senate had been the means of ducing the State tax levy. The editors livit in agriculttral communities were up in arm over the manner in which the Senate whitewashed the Chicago stock-yards ar defeated all legisiation in the Interest of tt farmers. The greater part of these disagree, ments were kept quiet at the time, buta now coming to the front. —— EAST 8ST. LOUIS. Mrs. Minnie Traube Secures Damag Other East Side Notes.

A Most Significant Opposition to High Tariff Editorials—Whya Plan for Fur- nishing Them Wholesale Was Aban- doned—The Germans and the School Laws—Not a Love Feast. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Dec, 23.—Since the ad- journment of the meeting of the Republican editors held in this city, the conclusion has been arrived at that the gathering did far more harm than good to the party, and it Is more than likely that there will not be an- other meeting, at least for some time to come. The object of the meeting was to secure unity of action on national and State measures, but discord rather than concord wasthe result, as is shown by what has since cropped out concerning some discus- sions in committee. , proposition had been submitted to the Executive Committee, and they had deter- ed to favorably recommend it to the as- sociation,te provide each country paper once in two weeks with 120 inches of plate matter in regard to the tariff. The price to be charged was 15 cents a foot. When the Execu- ommittee met, the night before, they covered that quite a number of the editors would notuse the plates unless they advo- .ted a reduction of the tariff ona large num- berof articles. They said the placing of sugar on the free list and the consequent re- cuction in price had opened the eyes of many who had been blindly following the protec- tion theorists; andthe men who had here- tofore been loud In their demands for higher cuties were now insisting that ail articles D ed by the masses should bé placed upon a li Ke basis with sugar. When attention was Cc £ c we 4 tive { led to the bounty which was paid upon ugar, the farmers rebelled because they uld not see why the sugar-raisers should receive a bounty while the corn and wheat raisers received none. This effectually dis- posed of the plate matter and it was not mentioned. Ged. Smith D, Atkins was down for an ad- dress on the pubiic schools, and it was in- tended to have a general discussion of this subject and follow it up with a resolution in- lorsing the action of the Republicans in the last State Senate in refusing to amend the compulsory school law, Here another dqiffi- culty preented itself. A number of editors publishing papers in commuhities where there are Germans gave the committee to understand that an in- dorsement of the action of the Senate would keep the Germans inthe Democratic party, even if they were not theretostay. These men were very emphatic in their denuncia- tion of the action of the Republican branch of the Legislature in not redeeming the pledge the party made in its platform. Not only this, but they were unanimous in the opinion that fully three-fourths of the Germans who had heretofore been Republicans had left that party for good and all and would vote with the Democrats. Thus it came about hat another important question was shelved. It was intended that Senator Mathes, the President of the association, would give a histery of the last Legisiature and point out how the Senate had been the means of re- ducing the State taxlevy. The editors living in agriculttral communities were up in arms over the manner in which the Senate had whitewashed the Chicago stockK-yards and defeated all legislatiun in the Interest of the farmers. The greater part of these disagree- ments were Kept qu.st atthe time, Dut are now coming to the front. EAST 8T. LOUIS. Minnie Traube Secures Damages— Other East Side Notes.

Hecanhelp me. If he refusesI will remove him. There will be no President.’’ According to Rudolph V. Martinsen of No. 58 East Fifty-fourth street this threat against the life of President Harrison was contained ina letter sent to Lorin A. Lathrop, the United States Consul at Bristol, England, some months ago by Mrs. Ada Loftus, who Is Mr. Martinsen’s mother fn-law, Mrs. Loftus arrived here ia the steamer Britannic, Sunday. Going tothe Fifth Ave- nue Hotel she told how her son in-law had persecuted her and had secured her incar- ceration in alunatic asylum in France, from which he had recently escaped. Ona war- rant secured by her son-in-law she was ar- rested on Monday and was committed to Bellevue Hospital for examinatiou as to her sanity. Drs. Field and Fitch Doughiass and McDonaid made the examination yesterday, and asa result she will probably be taken to Bloomingdale Asylum to-day. Mr. Martin- sen, the son-in-law, is President of the Max- well Land Grant Co. In her story of commitment to an asylum in Paris, Mrs. Loftus says: **My son -in- law, Martinsen,decoyed me in- toa room in Paris and began a torrent of abuse. lstood it until he began to defame my father. Then inanger 1 struck at him. The doors were thrown open, and there stood Dr. Charcot, Dr. Motte and Trainor. 1 hey decided among themselves that I was insane, and 1 was takentothe asylum. Martinsen bragged that he was rid of me for life, but after three months’ shameful treatment I was released by order of the United States Consul in Paris,’ Mrs. Loftus says that upon her release from the asylum she went to live in London at her house, Beaufort mansion, where she re- mained until ready to sall for New York. **Mrs. Loftus is insane,’’ Mr. Martinsen said to-day, ‘‘and in justice toher, lam forced to proceed against her.

GLOBE, 703-713 Franklin avenue, ee ee + ee An Oid Charge Revived. John Ryan, the ex-convict, was placed in the peculiar position yesterday of obeying one law by disobeying the other. Ryan has been in trouble with the police for years. In 1885 he was arrested for burglarizing Hy Sander’s residence, 1901 O’Falion street, and was indicted by the Grand- ao He gave bond, with Henry Henning and nee Bryan as security, for $1,000.

He Louls. Last ed with suspicion, were arrested of a charge of vagrancy while loitering on street corners. When tiie officers of the Criminal Oourt heard of Ryan’s arrest they hunted | up the old indictment of 18% and reinstated | the charge of burglary onthe docket. This ; morning the three brothers were arraigned | in the Second District Police Court, and John | - was found guilty of vagrancy as charged. | He was given hours to leave town while his brothers were | discharged. Officers Gocking, Bamrick and McMullen hearing of the court’s order and knowing Ryan was out on bond awaiting trial for burglary in the Criminal Court has- tened to inform the court and have the sen- tence changed to a fine instead of hours to leave the city. This was dome and Ryan is still held. It is probable his bonds- man, William Bruner, will withdraw and allow Ryan to linger in jatl until his case is tried. Kyan would gladly have left town to- day if given the opportunity, ashe would then have a defense for jumping his bond, a feat he performed five years ago. ne FO A TET Ce RTS ee CLF i =, — VAN HOUTEN'S Cocoa. . “ms 6 “ 90c, = PLEASE | READ T THIS.

A Match Between Sullivan and Slavin - Probable. ——— HOW THE AUSTRALIAN HAS BEEN MI8- REPRESENTED BY THE PRESS. While He Prefers an Immediate Match, He Is Willing to Wait Until September —Billy Myers Knocks Out Jimmy Car- roll—Mitchell and Corbett’s Character- istic Match—Sporting News Generally. The prospects ofa fight between Sullivan and Slavin now appear very bright. It was stated in these columns yesterday that Slavin by declaring that he would insist on Sullivan fighting him within ten weeks was bluffing, as he knew that the American would not only have to cancel his theatrical con- tract to engage in such 4a fight, but could not get himself in~condition in that length of time, as he is now in bad shape and is a hard mantotrain. Asall the previous bluffs had come from the cham.- pion’s friends and not from Slavin, talk of this kind emanating from the Australian w@s calculated to prejudice people against him; In all his previous authenticated interviews Slavin spoke in a.very business-Hke, strajght- forward and reasonable manner, Me has been grossly misrepresented by Police Gazette, who, to annoy’ , bas pub- lished a lot of bombast which {% has attrib- uted to Slavin. .§ THER ‘the country is full of sporting writers wh have Sullivan asa god, and they have een wilfully mis- representing the Austrglian. They have not only quoted him fals@jy, but have made it appear that he has been bluffing and, that when Sullivan Wanted to fight him, Slavin fied the country, The fact is that Slavin offered to réfpain here to fight the American, but imsisteg that if he surrendered the pass- age he Nad engazed to England, that Sullivan shoulg postpone his Australian tripanda fight him? before going to the antipodes. Slavin V8ry justly refused to permit the Boston boy to use him as an advertisement on his Aus- tralian tour, by traveling through that coun- try as matched to fight itschampion. Slavin ted a forfeit to binda match, but Sulli- van’s friends, who issued the challenge evad- They made several engage- mentsto meet Siavinand make the match, but failed tokeepany ofthem. Slavin sailed on a Saturdsy, and the following Monday the Sullivan party posted their forfeit with an- otherchallenge. This is the way they drove Slavin from the country. When the Australian was here before he denounced the challeges pubiished tn the Police Gazette as coming from him as ‘‘fakes.’’ Since his departure from this country the pink-tinted sheet has continued to publish alleged matter from him and as soon as he landed Slavin deciared he would call Editor Harding to account for it. The following New York telegram to the Cincinnail £n- quirer details his meeting with Harding and also gives what is no doubt a correct state- ment of what Slavin said about fighting Sillivan: Col. Bill Harding isanervy man. He called on the fighters, as he had heard that Slavin had sworn to mop the ground with him for writing letters over Slavin’s signature. It wasa bad job, and the Colonel conciuded he had hetter get it out of the way at once, s0 after using up astick of stove polish on his mus- tache he went upto sSiavin and stuck out his fin and said: ‘*i wrote those letters, Slavin, only- to keep your game going. Are you on?’’ ‘‘lam,’’ growled the Austraiian, **but you don’t wanttodoitagain. Are you on’?’’ ‘*l am, and won’t,’’ responded the Colonel. Then thev all hit the bar The Australian did managetosay: ‘‘*I would like to meet Sullivan, but that engagement of hisisa hard difficulty to overcome. He told me he would meet meafter his Austraiian tour, but when that ended he took on another engagement. If I meet him at all it ought to be within ten weeks, be- cause after that time I must drop every thing and get ready for Jackson on May 20. How- ever, [am willingto makea match with him if he will make a date within a year, because after that time lam going to quitthe ring.

Slavin, yesterday, alter trying toarrangea fight with Sullivanto take place within tten weeks, and failing, agreed to’°cover Sulll- van’s forfeit of $2,500 fur a fight for $10,000 a side, to take place next September.

At last Mitchell ana Corbett have been matched. Itis justsucha matchas might be expected from two such windbags as these professional beauties cfthe ring. It will be a ‘‘purty’’ fight, where neither man can dis- figure the other’s beauty and both can reap a great many American dollars. They are to spar six rounds with two- ounce gloves for scientific points at Madison Square Garden within eleven weeks. Both are very scientific and pretty sparrers and should make a great set to, but they will “be wellrepaid for the little work they do. People will now wonder if all their talk was not mere bombast and whetherthey did not have an understanding before Mitchell sailed for this country that they would make such a matchas they didand advertise it in ad- Vance by dire threats against each other. MYER KNOCKS OUT CARROLL. NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 23.—Billy Myer of Streator, lll,, won the light weight fight here last night for a purse of $5,099, knocking out Jimmy Carroll in the forty-third round. The fight throughout was marked by cautious work on both sides, Myer remaining on the defense principally until the fight had pro- gressed cpnsiderably. The rink of the Olympic Athietic Club was jammed with hun- dreds of eager spectators. There were vis- itors from the East and from California and a large number of well-Known sporting men from other localities. Myer was seconded by his brother, Eddy Myer, Link Pope and Alf Kennedy, and Car. roll by Bob Fitzsimmons, Johnny Griflin, Austin Gibbons and James Robinson. Prot. John Duffy acted as referee. The two men weighed at the ring-side, Carroll registering 18542 pounds and Myer 188%. President Noel advised the fighters of the rules and restric- tions they must observe, Charles vrolla was master of ceremonies; R. M. Frank, club timekeeper; Emil Fischer, timekeeper for Myer, and J. J. Leonard for Carroll. Police Capt. Barrett weighed the gloves and pro. nounced them upto the legal weight of five ounces. The men stepped into the ring and shook hands shortly atter 9 o’clock and went right to work. The first round was marked by feinting on both sides, and ended with no blows struck. The second round both landed once or twice with no noticeable results. The third round gave Myer first blood and closed a little in favor of Carroll. For the next six or seven rounds the men did some fast work and ciose in-fighting, Myer lost his temper for a moment, but steadied himself. Carroll was getting a shade the bestof it. Myer fought on the defensive until the thirtieth, when it was still Iimposs!}- ble to tell which man would win. Car- roll was after Myer’s wind and Myer waiting for a chance at Carroll’s chin. Carroll did some good work in the next three rounds. In the thirty-third Myer got ina couple of good ones and Carroll went to the floor a little groggy. The Streator boy also did considerable work in the next round. In the thirty-fifth Myer was fighting stronger than Carroll and scored another knock-down. Th the next round Myer went down, but re. covered quickly. Uetried the pivot blow in this round but failed. Myer was now forcing matters. Round thirty-nine opened with both men wary and feinting cautiously, but closed with a couple of hard drives from each. In the last round Myer came up ssively and Carrollweak. Several hard were made and then Myer saw his chance and landed a heavy right on the point of Carroll’s jaw and the fight was won. Myers was cheered enthusiastically by the crowd, and the work was declared the best he hadever done. Carroll came around all right after a little, and was given a hearty ovation fromthe audience, which wanted to see the end. . It was rumored about that the winner of the fight was to fight the welter weight, Tom Ay "4 but the point has not been officially PUGILISTIC POINTERS. a weight pugilist, who was recently defeated by Harris, better known as the ‘‘B Pearl,’’ has issued a challenge to fighte 145-pound man in America. orman states that he would much prefer to megt Jacl Dempsey’s sparring partner, ‘* ge’?

Howson was Puncher and a good stayer, tobe much the better man, mnadogen rounds. Ryan has a basis to the welter- weight champion- has not beaten all the good ones Peckham deserves a try at him, and Gorman would also like one. Paddy Gorman, the aware merry middle- weight, whohas got back from San Francis- co, reports that the rivalry between the three ’ Frisco clubs is of the hottest kind, and heexpresses the opinion that it will event- ualiy result in a general disruption of the boxing gamein that city. In orderto com- pete successfully, the usual price of admis- sion to contests between good men has been knocked down to $2.50, and at that price the boxing public isnot large enough to support three clubs. Another element that has tended toinjure the sport out there has been the number of ‘*rfake’’ fights. There is nothing small about Jack McAu- liffe but his feet. His salary is larze and his idea as to the vy od size of a purse for which he wili fight the winner of the Carroll- Myers zo 1s very respectable. Ten thousand dollarsis his figure. He has had a pretty interesting experience with each of these gentiemen and he ought to know what it is worth to ‘‘interview’’ either again. Harris Martin, better known as the ‘‘Black Pearl,’’ who was defeated by Benny, the Bos- ton colored middle-weight, recently in San Francisco, has been matched to fight Charley Turner, the California colored middleweight, before the Occidental Clubof San Francisco. The fight is to come off January 26 for a $1,000 purse. Both men are to fight at 154 pounds. Ted Pritchard, the English champion mid- dle-weight, has challenged Jim Hall, the Au- stralian middle-weight, whois at present in this country, to fight him for £500a side and £1,000 which will be hung up for the contest by the Bolingbroke Club of London. The Occidental Club of San Franciscois now engaged inarranginga match between Dan Hawkins and Fred Bragen, each of whom has been claiming the featherweight champ- lonship of the coast. The club will hangupa purse of $800 for the contest, which is to come om January ll. THE TURF. The lottery of racingis very prettily Illus- trated inthe Dandie Dinmont colt and his former stable companion by St. Blaise,out of Lady Primrose. Leighton bought the Moon- light colt for $525. His employer, Brewer Jacob Ruppert, gave $30,000 for the Lady Primrose colt at the recent Belmont sale. Leighton’s cheap colt beat the Lady Prim- rose colt in every trial, and the trainer gave hisemployer an option onthe brown son of Dandie Dinmont. Mr. Ruppert was slow in coming to time, and, as the colt improved in his work, the price was raised until the igure was placed at $10,000), at which price he was bought by Brewer F.Ehret,It was play for the colt to work a quarter ofa mile in 25s, while the $35,000 beauty did not beat 26s for the quarter in any of his trials. THE MORRIS YEARLINGS, tumor hasitthat the yearlings tried this fallare a wonderful lot. Those belonging to | the Messrs. Morris have been schooled‘at the | home track in Maryland, with the giant 2- | year-old St. Florian as trial norse. Mr. Mor- ris isreportedas saying that none or those tried did anything remarkable, as not one of them could beat St. Florian. This is an ex- cellent joke and nobody enjoys it more than John A. Morris. St. Florian is one of the fastest horses in the world at three furlongs, and happy, indeed, would be the man who hada yearlingableto hold the big chestnut son of St. Blaise and Feufoilet. The yearling colt by Galopin, out of Jennie B., is said to be the star of the Morris collection. GARRISON TO BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE, There is now scarcely any doubt about Jockey Garrison’s being licensed to ridein 1892, This young man deserves credit for the manner in which he has behaved since his suspension. The publie will be glad to see him in the sadale once more, and his experi- ence of the past few months should be the most eloquent of lessons to him. There are jockeys more deserving of punishment than Garrison, who have escaped unscathed, and when the young Brooklynite is reinstated to ali the honors of his calling he should let his actions show conclusively that he will ride to win each and every time in future.

The trotting stallion Endymion, 2:23, by Dictator, who was exported to En land, was sold lately in that country for $3,259. The crack mare Los Angeles will bs mated with Emperor of Norfolk, who was not only a great race horse, but possesses what few horses of his size can claim—quality. Fora big horse he is probably one of the handsomest that has appeared on atrack, and consider- ing the wonderful racing propensities of all nga it is hard to see how he can fail as a sire. The young trotting stallion Advertiser, who is one of Electioneer’s successors at the Palo Alto Farm, served ten mares last spring, in- cluding Sunol’s dam, and Sprite (dam of Sphinx, 2:20, and Eygotist, 2:22%). After this he was putin training, with the result that he obtained a record of 2:16. According to the latest statistics Elec- tioneer has now ninety-nine sons and daugh- ters in the 2:30 list, butif the record of 2:29% claimed for’ Don Montieth—and there is no reason to doubt it—is tobe recognized, the century will have been obtained by the greatest otall trotting stallions. Don Mon.- tieth belongs to Robert Steel of Philadelphia, who claims that his horse went a mile at one of the Delaware tracks inthe time stated and as every one will acknowledge him to be above any shuffling business there is every reason to suppose that his trotter will be duly accredited with the performance, When this is done Electioneer will have reached the much coveted hundred. first; BASE BALL, President N.

Among other changes advised isa provision to be introduced into the laws of all States forbidding the possession of any salmon, trout and whitefish of a less weight than two pounds. Another resolution was in favor of conserving the power and interests of the different States in the lake fisheries and against turning them over to the control of the United States Government. The Washington University and Kansas College eleven played a postponed game at Kansas City yesterday after ninety minutes of desperate work. The contest was decideda draw, each side having received six points. The St. Louis aggregation put up a splendid game. Messrs. Scullin, C. 8. Reber and s.et- calf especially distinguished themselves. The eighth game of the Judd-Showalter chess match, which was begun Monday, was concluded yesterday. Showalter won. The score now stands: Judd, 3 games won; Sho- walter, 2; drawn, 3. Two powerful horses, weighing in the neighborhood of 1,600 pounds each, endeav- ored to pull Louis Cyrasunder at the South London Club recently, but the muscular Can- adian proved to be the master of the situa- tion, and, after a little slipping, he held the massive pair of quadrupeds as though they were riveted to the floor, and the assemblage almost went wild with delight. The back lift wasyalso a fine performance, fourteen gentlemen getting on the board. They, with the platform, weighed all told 3,065 pounds. Harry Munro called at the Sporting Life office, London, recently in company with Messrs.

Don’t fail to attend, HOEY AT HOLLYWOOD. He Talks About the Settlement With the Adams Express Co. NEW York, Dec. 23,—The public has been informed that John Hoey, the deposed Presi- dent of the Adams Express Co., has made restitution. Mr. Henry Sanford, the new head of the corporation, says that the value of lioey’s property turned over to the com- pany amounts to halfa million dollars. Hoey is now at Long Branch, and was in- terviewed there by a newspaper representa- tive, who found Mr. Hoey feeding Nis swans at Hollywood. Mr. Hoey never looked better. were borne with a sturdiness his intimates had not séen for months. He seemed to feel Ifke his old self, and when he was asked about the settlement of his financial troubles with the Adams Express Co., whose fiduciary and managing head he had been so long, he answered cheerilly: ‘*O, that’s ali been told; enoughof it any how for the public.’’ ‘*But Mr. Hoey, the papers have printed so much about your relations with the Express company, and so much has been said about allegedanismanagement of funds, tiiat curi- osity about the settlement may be pardoned. Have all the suits against you been with- drawn?’’ ‘*Yes. The settlement is perfectly satis- factory to both sides. I am down here now to see that Hollywood is kept in trim.’’ After a little while Mr. Hoey made this statement: ‘‘If you remember, I said in my letter of resignation as a member of the Board of Managers of the Express Co. that if it were found that | was indebted to the company for any amount I would cheerfully pay it. I could have held my position on the board, but as allthe members were antagonistic it was better for me to resign. I did not be- lieve lowed the company one dollar. I ap- peared in the Sherburne swit in a straight- forward way and gave my testimony. They could not hold me for a dollar on that. It was the subsequent purchase of Boston Dispatch stock that was doubtful. Mr. Dins- more advised on his deathbed the purchase ofthat stock by the company. I owneda large part ofit,and it was my faultthatI voted for its purchase,when acting as trustee of the company. **At first ny lawyers thought that I wasin no way liable tothe Adams Express Co.. but atter further consideration they thought the courts might possibly hold me for my vote. I did not own any stock in the Adams Ex- press Co., and when! went in for the New England properties—the Boston Dispatch and the Kinsley Express Co.—I did itas an indli- vidual speculation, William Bb. Dinsmore, then President of the company, bought the first Datch from Sherburne, Taft, myself and Spooner, and he advised the purchase ofthe restinorderto give our company the control of the properties. As I said, asa trustee [ voted for that purchase, and the lawyers thought the question so delicate that long litigation would follow. ‘“‘I was notin a position toendure a long lawsuit. They had puta lis pendens on all my property. The mortgage I had giventoa bank in order todraw money necessary for the every-day expenses of the hotel next summer, Was rendered void by thelis pen- dens. Every source of monetary supply to me was stopped. Icould not raise a daollar, My chief revenue is derived from the Holly- wood Hotel and cottages. Without money 1 could not run them, and you can readily see why I consented to settle.’’ ‘*‘You did not settle then, because you thought you should?’’ **No, Idid it because it was my only re source. I would have preferred tofight and re-establish my reputation that for half a century had stood unsullied in New York.’’ Here Mr. Hoey’s voice faltered and he turned and walked with bowed head toward his home. ‘*Will you say what the terms of settlement were?’’ **No, that isa private matter. ment is satisfactory on all sides and the af- fairisended.

AN UNEXPECTED BLOW TO THE M’CAR- THYITE FACTION. New Lease of Life Given the Dead Lead er’s Party—Michsael Davitt Surpris and Disappointed—London’s Black Fe Still Holds and Many Lives Have Beer Lost—Foreign News. DUBLIN, Dec. 24.—The result of the election which took place yesterday at Waterford fo a member of Parliament to succeed the lat Richard Power was made known this morn- ing. To the surprise ofthe political proph- ets, Mr. John E. Redmond, the Parneillite candidate, easily defeated the MecCarthytt representative, Mr. Michael Davitt. Th polling was as follows: Mr. John E. Red mond (Parnellite), 1,725; Mr. Michael Davit (MecCarthyite), 1,229. Majority for Mr. Red mond, 497. This victory was a heavy blow to the Me Carthyites, who were confident of victory and will serve togive a new lease of life to the Parnellite party. It is now believed to = certain that the followers of the late MF Parnell as represented under the leadershig of Mr. Redmond will win a number of othe seats and be able to maintain themselvesa a distinct party for some time to come. rh Parnellites had been driven into their las intrenchment, into the last ditch, but the rallied nobly, fought with the most grim de termination, and have handsomely routed their enemies. The number of registered electors at th last election, by which the late Mr. Richa Power (ahome-ruler) was returned upop posed, was 3.946 and 2,%4 votes were cas yesterday for the two candidates. It wil thus be seen that ebout one-thousand peopl abstained for one reason and another frog voting. The Parnellites are jubilant, of course, ar gay that their victory arises from the fac that the priests were unable to coerce WU Waterford electors, as they had previous coerced the Cork and other voters who have given majorities: against Parnellites withit the past few months. Solate as yesterday evening the gone opinion in political. circles was that M Davitt had won and before the polls we opened it was predicted on all sides that bh would win by about 500 majority. The resul shows how badly the political prophets ¢ be mistaken and proves that there is 8 considerable vitality in the party fightis beneath the banner of the late ©. &. Parne Naturally the Parnellites claim their victo at Waterford is a vindication of the prif ciples they uphold. Inany case it is dime to see how the Waterford election can te to bring harmony to the counctis of thel Parliamentary party. The Parnellites a now in a position to dictate terms and it safe to say they will not be backward doing so. DAVITT SURPRISED. It is probable that the most surprised m in Great Britain and Ireland to-day ts M Michael Davitt. He had no more idea ¢ being defeated than he had of flying. I counted firmly on the full support of tt labor vote in adGition to the reguiar vote the party, but, contrary to his sanguine ex pectations, the labor vote was elther ca against him or eise maintained a neutrala titude and remained at home It wil] be impossible until the effects of th unexpected victory have been W elzhed by parties, to predict or even guess at its ever ual outcome so far as the prospect of Irt legislation is concerned. The minds of leaders of both Irish factions are at preseq too much excited tondmitof anything Mk reconciliation. Mr. Dillon, it will be membered, announced at W aterford « Thursday last, that if Waterford return the Parnellite candidate, he (Mr. Dillo would be bound to tell his countrymen tl there was po longer any hope in consti! tional legislation, and that he himself sho retire to private life. People are now askin themselves if Mr. Dillan willkeep his wor and rumor has it that should he do so, oth prominent Irish members of Parliament me follow hisexample. This, itis added, mig pave the way toa reconciliation betweent contending factions, and gives birth to t hope that the Irish ’arliamentary party be reunited in the near future. This bog however, is at present only showing a fal glimmer on the hortzon. Mr. John E. Redmond, the successful daidate in the Waterford election, when t result was made known, was hoisted up the shoulders of his friends and was bo about in triumph amid roars of enthusias cheering. Finally Mr. Redmond was allow to make a speech, during the course of whi¢ he said he was certain that the result of t election would be recetved with pleasure the Irish everywhere. Continuing, Mr. Retmond said that he gretted that the dead chief, whose h was broken with the ingratitude @ treachery shown toward him, had pot il to see this day. {Loud cheers | Mr. Redmond also said: ‘*‘We must ne forget this magnificent biow struck in @ cauee of Irish independence.’’ ALMOST A RIOT. Owing to the great excitement that pf vailed in the room in which the votes w counted the first figures announced were accurate, An official recount shows that stead of 1,175 votes Mr. Redmond recel 1,775, making bis majority over Mr. Davitt instead of 496 as at first reported. The announcement of the official figw was followed by ascene of the wildest thusiasm. The Parneliites shouted, wa their hats and sticks and inevery way ga vent totheir jubilant feelings. The Met thyites were correspondingly depressed their defeat. After quiet had been som restored, Mr. Redmond proposed the t vote of thanks tothe Sheriff, to whom is trusted the task of making the oficial rete the election. ~~ is customary forthe defeated cand to second the vote of thanksand Mr. Day¥ éid not failinthis duty. He took oce to add, however, after seconding Mr. mond’s motion, that he would rather lose election than win by combined terrorism rowdyism. mark provoked a most upre lo vist from the Parneliites
