THE STATION OF ALADDIN THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER. Fatal Mistake of Engineer Boechart—Run- ning at High Speed, He Failed to Take a Siding and Dashed Into the Waiting Train—To Add to the Horror of the Calamity the Wreoked Cars Take Fire. JACKSONVILLE, III., Jan. 5.—A terrible col- uston occurred at 1:45 o’clock this morning on the Wabash railroad at Aladdin, a small sta- tion east of Hannibal. Six men were killed outright, two probably fatally injured and many others badly hurt. The victims are: A. S. BOUCHARD, engineer; killed outright. James WILSON, engineer; killed, Four Italian emigrant passengers, names unknown; killed and cremated. Henry WaARBOGS, fireman, of Springfield ; fatally injured. Ep CROMWELL, fireman; not expected to live. The trains were the east bound and west bound Cannon Ball trains. The east bound train had the right of way and was waiting at Aladdin for the other, No. 41, to take the siding. The night was foggy and Engineer Bouchart was not very well acquainted with the run and failed to stop at the switch, but went rushing by the station ata high rate of speed. He was unable to see anything ahead of him, at least this is the supposi- tion. The eneines came together with terrific force and in an instant all was contusion. To add tothe horror of the scene both trains took fire, consuming the baggage and smoking cars and one chair car. The remainder of the cars were detached and saved. The body of Bouchart was found pinned to the ground under hisengineand his fireman was fatally injured. Charles Wilson, the engineer of the east- bound train, was buried in the wreck and his body has not yet been found, His fireman was very severely injured but may recover. Besides the four Itallan emigrants killed and cremated several more were wounded, The belated train passed through here at ll o’clock to-day. The physicians connected with the Wabash Hospital Department at Hannibal were im- mediately summoned and are now at the wreck. The injured are being taken to Springfield Haspital. Both engineers live at Springfield, lll. The bodfes of Engineer Witson and some of the emigrants were burned. PERILS OF THE SEA, TERRIBLE SUPFERINGS OF A RESCUING BOAT’S CREW. LIVERYOOL, Jan. 5.—A posed of six men, belonging steainship Lieanor, arrived here this morn- ingina half frozen condition. The sallors teliatale of much suffering and probably severai of them wil be permanently injured, From the stories told by the mariners referred to, itappears that one of the passengers of the Eleanor, who had been acting mastrange manner all the time he had Deen on board, suddenly jumped over- board on Saturday while the steamer was coiling at full speed. The Eleanor at that time Was olf Greenore Light, County Louth, Ireland, but far out at sea. In addition, it was night time and a nasty sea was running. The weather was bitterly cold. In spite of these facts the captain of the steamship stopped and then reversed his engines and ordered a boat to be got ready for launching. lie also called for a volunteer crew and burned blue lights while the boat was being ewung overbcard and lowered away. A crew of six volunteers slid down the falls the moment the small craft was ready for them and with the steamer still burning red fare lights the rescuers disappeared in the darkness, pulling with all their Strength in the direction in which the Crowning man was supposed to be. Under the influence of the wild sea and a strong current the boat was soon so far away from the steamer that ber lights could not be seen. ' gallant seamen, however, continued their search for the passenger who had jumped overboard. When the first alarm of ‘‘man overboard’’ had been given on board the Eleanor a life buoy had been thrown overboard from the fcamer and after an hour of fruitless search the men in the Eleanor’s boat found this buoy and, clutching it flercely in his death gone, wasthe unfortunate passenger. He ' before he could be pulled into the boat. x rescuers then turned their attention toihelrown safety ana anxiously scanned the horizon in search of the steamer’s light “rol Greenore’s beacon. Neither, to their may, could be seen. ‘iB; This time the sea was running higher, onl eng every moment or so toswamp g Slght boat, The men, after the first ex- cement of the work of rescue had Won off, bad become cold and numbed. Those who had ollskins on found them frozen into board- Ne about them andthose who were not so ‘ell equipped began to suffer most severely irom the cold, The men shouted and shouted without avail, and at last they enized the fact that the Eleanor had ‘Nuoned them and that their chances of Dar putting thelr foot ashore 18 were vi 'y Sim indeed, The boat was half full of Walerand it required the combined strengt h of the six men forming crew to kee 0 half bows on the sea. To make matters worse a drenching downfall “ tain swept over them, still further un mug to their misery. Some of the men we re so exhausted that they could barely Frasp thelr oars, while thelr teet were 80 ‘id that they appeared to be turned to ice. There was nothing to eat or drink in the ‘at, and in this manner the men were foated thick with ice;they pulled wearily uoughout the pight. three or four times during that period the ‘lors gave up in despair and proposed to lie — an in the boat and die. Each time the Cheering words or taunts of the second om “T, Who was in command, npberved the sal ‘rs to Make one more for life. Cialmed that their ba the presence boat’s crew, com- to the British ben with thetr dead ght continued the “(Ue against cold and wave. . a y could see in land, the morning, Gud exhausted t | strength of children, ran their boat ashore at Greenore and were soon being tenderly cared for by the coastguardsmen, It was soon seen that the men were badly frostbitten and that several of them would at least lose ng - ers and toes before they recovered from the night’s experience. 80 soon as possible they were forwarded to Liverpool. The Eleanor had, in the meantime, reached Holyhead and reported the loss of the six men and the ger referred to. The greatest indignat is expressed at the Captain steamship for having so hastily concluded that the six seamen Were lost. He says that he cruised about for two hours in the vicinity ofthe spot. The injured seaman propose to bring suits for damages against the 3 and owners of the vessel. They say that it is impossible forthe Eleanorto bave cruised two hours aboutthe spot, where her com- mander should have known they were to be found, without actually finding them. HER INJURIES FATAL. EXPLODING FACE LOTION KILLS MARY BIRD, AN ACTRESS. CrxcrnnaTi, O., Jan. 5.—Miss Mary Bird, an actress, play ing at the Grand Opera-house, was badly and perhaps fatally burned last night. She is boarding at Hexter’s Hotel, and was about to retire for the night, when her clothes caught fire by the explosion of a bottle of face lotion which she held in her hand uncorked. The frightened girl ran screaming down stairs. There was no one astir in the hotel, but her cries of pain brought a number of persons to her assist- ance, who extinguished the flames and sum- moned medical assistance. Her face, neck and arms are frightfully blistered, and even should she recover itis very probable she will be disfigured for life, Miss Bird isa na- tive of New York, where she has a brother in the theatrical business. She is 22 years of age. The unfortunate woman died at 9 o'clock this morning. TWO YOUNG LADIES DROWNED. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 5.—The bodies of two young ladies, named May Morton and Polly Harlow, who were drowned in Sac River in Polk County last Friday, were re- covered Saturday and Sunday and will be buried in the county grave yard, where their parents were buried years ago and near by where they were drowned. They came here last Wednesday, from Sedalia, and said they were going to Brighton, Polk County, to see their grandfather named Blue, They set outina buggy Thursday and spent the night with him, A heavy rain swelled the little river toa torrent. They started to return to Springfield against the advice of their relatives and were never seen alive after. A wetand muddy horse told the gad tale. The body of one was found Satur- day evening, the other was recovered Sunday morning. VESSEL ON FIRE. Lonpow, Jan. 6.—A dispatch from Sydney, New South Wales, states that a fire broke out onthe American ship Lincoln, Capt. Daly, from Tacoma, and that despite the efforts made toextinguish the flames they are still burning. A part of her inward cargo is still aboard. From present appearances, the dispatch says, the ship and everything aboard of her will be consumed. A CORPSE RECOVERED. Wrst PLatns, Mo., Jan. 5.—The body of Jonn Hess, the man drowned in White River several weeks ago, was found a few days ago near Reddick’s Landing. An inquest was held and the remains buried in the Gassville Cemetery. In his pockets were found $25,a gold watch, some papers, photographs, etc. The body was badly decayed. JUMPED THE TRACK. BRENHAM, Tex., Jan. 5.—Switch Engine No. | 408, on the Gulf, Colorado & Sante Fe, jumped the track and ran into.a culvert Sunday at- . — at Cameron. Engineer Frank Jones was caught between the throttle lever and the boller and died at 2 a. m. yesterday morning. Fireman Joe Brown was severely scalded. — -——— _— - OPINION DAY. Court of Appeals Hands Down a Batch of Decisions—Oourt News. This was opinion day in the Court of Appeals. Judge Rombauer presid- ing, assisted by Judges Biggs and Thompson, decided five cases Judge Rombauer filed two dissenting and one concurring opinion. Judge Biggs filed two and Judge Thompson two. The caseof Lu- cien E. Byrne vs. Keokuk & Western Rall- road was perhaps the most interesting. It was a suit against the rallroad for not re- bullding ditches and drains alongside oftheir embankments, whereby water accumulated ana flowed over the defendant’s flelds, caus- ing damage to his erops. I e decision of the lower court that the company had failed to comply with the statutory regulations was upheld. The case of Loulsa Beckman, respondent, vs. the Pheonix Insurance Co. broughtup a point of legal procedure. The decision ofthe lower court was also affirmed in the case of Wm. Koop- mer against Medford H. Cahoon, in which damages were granted against the latter, an attorney, for the non-performance of duties undertaken. Other cases decided were: In the matter of the estate of Henry Schorer, deceased. James W. Stort, execu- tor, vs. Wm. H. Brown et al., exceptors, Pike County. Judgment affirmed, Dissenting opinion by Judge Rombauer. Wabash Railroad Co., appellant, vs. A. Me- Cabe et al., respondents, city. keversed and remanded with directions certified to Supreme Court. Dissenting opinion by Judge Rom bauer. Motions fora rehearing were overruled in the following cases: 4 State to use of Neiman vs. Koch et al. Coquard vs. Prendegast. 4 Way rich vs. Grand Lodge of True League of Missouri, The Breen’s Ill Luck. Late this afternoon the case of Allen B. Pendleton against Michael C. Breen tore- cover $508 with interest at 10 per cent, al- leged to be due on ajpromissory note executed April 10, 1890, was called in Circuit Court room No. 1 for trial. The defendant in the case will be remembered by the thousands of St. Loulsans who watched the opera tions of the ice dealers’ combine in this city in July and August, 1890. It was during the torrid season that the ice dealers advanced the price to icent er pound. While public indignation was at ts height, Breen, Who had an ice busi- ness at the Union Market, announced that he would sell ice to anybody who wanted it at a figure much lower than the demand of the combine. Breen did so for awhile, but all of a sudden he stopped. For a time it was thought he had been caught by a bait thrown out by the combine, but it developed later on that his whole outfit of wagons and horses had been gobbled by & creditor, Then it was said the ice dealers’ Combine had frozen him out. Breen said at the time that t his be- longings had not been seized he would have — to sell ice below the combine figure. The case according to the various documents on dle in courtjshows that Breen borrowed $675 in April, 1590, and gave his note to A. B. Pendleton for that amount. A chat- tel mortgage on his horses, wagons, harness and other belongings Was given as security. Breen paid $ on the note, but failing to come to time with the balance, his whole outfit was gobbled by Pendleton on the strength of the chattel mortgage. Some Breen presented a state- the court through nis , Frank Merryman, ciai ＋ that be had damaged to the extent of $1,000 by the seizure and praying lor judgment in that amount. The property seized by intiff, it is Claimed, disposed for a far below its actual value.

He Endeavors to Stab George James For Assailing His Wife. THE COLORED WRETCH HASA NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Mrs. Grobby Had Positively Identified the Negro and He Was Asserting That She Had Not Told the Truth When the Doctor Sprang at Him With a Dirk Knife—Viehle and Allender Return— Patton Inquest. | But for the agility of a police officer and Deputy Sheriff the Court of Criminal Correc- tion would have been the scene of a bloody and awful murder at noon to-day. Dr. Chas. H. Grabby of 5836 Page avenue drew a dirk knife from his hip- pocket and sprang toward George Jones, a negro on trial, and a second later would have buried the blade in the body of the defendant on trial had not Detective Danaher and Oficer John Hurley jumped between the would-be avenger and his victim and pre- vented the deed. The court-room was thrown into the greatest uproar and the negro jumped from his seat and was about to dee from the room. The attempted murder was but another in- cident in a very sensational case of an at- tempted criminal assault which occurred on the evening of Dec. 8 on Page and Goode ave- nues. Mrs. Dr. Grabby, a matronly lady about 40 years of age, was the victim and she suffering from the shock her nervous system received at that time. On December 8 Mrs. Grabby paid a visit to some friends in Clayton and re- turned to the city on an afternoon train. She did some shopping down-town and then took a Washington avenue car for her home. When she reached Taylor avenue there was no car waiting and she strolled toward her home. As she walked along she noticed a ne riding west on Page avenue, but he did not attract her attention particularly. At the corner of Goode avenue a hand was laid on her shoulder and, turning, she gazed into the face ofjthe negro. She asked what he meant, and fore he replied she tola him she had but a few cents and he could haye that. ‘‘I don’t want your money, hereplied. Realizing in a moment her situation,Mrs.Grabby wheeled and grasped a fence post with both arms and ecreamed. The negro pulled and tugged, but he did not release Mrs. Grabby’s hold. He then caught her by the leg above the ankie and jerked her feet from under her. Unable to bear the strain Mrs. Grabby let go of the post and fellto the ground. The negro god and twisted her for a moment, and then, seeing some one approaching in the oom,as it was deep twilight, he fled. staggered to her home her experience to her husband and year old son. Arming them- selves, the f er and son scoured the neigh- bDorhood all night, but could not find the negro, wh Mrs. Grabby so accurately de- scribed. e following day they located a negro whe answered the description and an officer took him to the house that night. POSITIVELY IDENTIFED. ~~ Mrs. Grabby positively identified him as the man who attempted to assault her. Dr. 1 was about to shoot the prisoner when he took off his hat and walking up to Mrs. Grabby asked her to look at him more N saying at the same time he could prove he was at home in his room at the time of the assault, The doctor hesitated and replaced his revolver. Since that evening the doctor has investigated the case and found the negro had lied and that he was seen in the neighborhood at the time of the assault and was away from home. Mrs. Grabby at no time changed her mind and still swears most positively that George Jones is the man. To-day Jones was called in the Court of Criminal Correction for a preliminary ex- amination on a charge of assault with intent to rape. Dr. Grabby lies wife and son were in court to testify and re- mained in the witness room adjoining the court until the case was called as Mrs. Grabby was too Ill to sit up without support. When the case was called she and her son walked behind the negro sitting in a chair before the bar but Dr. Grabby passed in frontof him. He stopped a moment, looked intently into the face of the prisoner, shook his head and passed, to be sworn asa wit- ness. Mrs. Grabby took the stand first with her husband at her side to support her. ne told her story in a few words as related here and then replied to a few uestions Mr. Marshal McDonald asked her. s she was about to leave the stand Judge Claiborne turned to Jones and asked: THE EXCITING SCENE. 0 you want to ask the witness any ques- tions?’ es, I do,“ replied Jones, rather rough- „ 1 want ter ask her if she will swear it was me who attacked her. „swear it was that man, said Mrs. Grabby from the stand.“ ‘*You aint tellin’ * 0 truth, You aint tellin trut you I was not lady. u * 1 could tell don’ belleve there, and you the truth anyhow. are tellin’ ——’’ Dr. Grobby had moved from the stand to the end of the attorneys’ table, and as he walked toward the prisoner he held his bands under his cutaway coat. His eye was on the negro, and as he was about to say Mr. Grabby was lying the doctor uttereda shar cry andsprangfor him. The negro been to realite his danger and sprang from his chair. The doctor wus almost upon him and in one more step would have been within reach with his knife when Officer Hurley and Detective Danaher caught his arm. They wrenched the knite from him and carried him bodily into the Judge’s room back of the bench. Deputy iherift John Nagle caught the prisoner and nur ried him to the cage as young Grabby was seen buttoning his coat and approaching the negro from another direction. The negro trembled as with ague and almost ran with Deputy Nagle to the iron cage, expecting . moment to bo shot or stab in the back. When quiet was restore the witnesses were recalled and a rd placed over the prisoner until all the evidence was heard. Jones said he had no statement to make, and Jud Claiborne remarked as he made an entry in bis docket that it was the worst case of at- tempted assault he had heard of in years. He said he would fix the highest possibile bond the case 60 as to save the pri ner’s life by eeping him in jail, knowing he could not ve the bond required. As soon as the case disposed of Deputy Nagle burried Jones to the jail so as to keep him out of reach of Dr. Grabby, who still vows he will take the law in his hands himselfif justice is not done in the case. 0 Schoppe to kee took a seat besid ‘mained within reacho and Officer Hurley was watch.

Mr. urnett, the other barrister sald: Four honor, the attorney for the defense is an expert on breaths, let him testify. Mr. Storts replied vigorously. Order silence!’’ called the Marshal. After some further testimony, which went to show that there wasa spring broken in the | defendant's artificial leg, which caused him to reel and stag er, Judge Morris fined him $10 and advised him to keep his leg in repair. Richard Polanzy, ahother one-legged man, was fined $100 and sent to the Work- house for vagrancy. Dr. Jordan of the City Dis- pensary testified that during the last twelve months the defendant, Polanzy, haa been sent to the hospital some twenty-five or thirty times. The defendant said he would zo to work, if they would let him off, but as the hospital officers testi- fled that he was quarrelsome and mean tothe other patients he was fined so that be would have to go to the rock pile and get regular work. Michael Kelly was up charged with assault- ing George Bishop at the St. James Hotel. The pair werea 17 tough-looking duet and the prosecutor, Bishop, had a face which was one mass of black and blue spots. He looked as if he had been very a | treated. Kelly testified that before the fight Bishop had threatened his life and chased him throggh the halls with a poker. Kelly was ned $50 Valentine Schaberger was fined $10 and costs for disturbing the peace of his wife. The wife with a small baby in her arms said that Valentine had come to the house with a hatchet forthe purpose of killing her as he olten threatened todo. She said she had not been living with him for some time past be- cause of his brutality and riotous ways. Foran absolutely pure washing medium try Clairette Soap. In stock by all grocers, A Remarkable Pearl. Isaac Hetrick of Mercer, Pa., wrote a letter to Chief of Police Harrigan, which was re- ceived to-day, and in it he asks the police to keep a sharp lookout for a valuable pearl stolen from him on the night of Dec. 23. If what Mr. Hetrick says of his pearl is true it is indeed a most valuable gem, and the only one of its kind inthe world, or perhaps more wonderful than any in the country beyond with the pearly gates. Mr. Hetrick says: Avery valuable pearl was stolen from my person while l was sleeping onthe night of the 23 Decem- ber several miles east of the town of Tiffen, Ohio.

Patton, the young man who shot himself while officers were trying to arrest him yesterday, was held at 11 o’clock this morning by Deputy Coroner Meade. Officer Uriah Downey testi fled as to the attempted arrest at the house No, 822 Chouteau avenue, as already told. Sergt. Cummins testified to ‘the same facts as did officer Downey, The Sheriff in his tes. timony also confined himself to the occur- rences at the house ending in Patton’s sui- cide. The father of the dead young man testified that his name was J. G. Patton, that he kept a hotel at Carrollton, III., where his son had not been seen since October. He gave the boy’s age as 24 and said he had been born in Pennsylvania. Mr. Patton knew of no reason more weighty than the threatened arrest which might have caused himto take his own life. Among the effects of the young man was found a bundle of letters, most of them from a young lady at Carroliton, III. Certificates were issued by the Coronerand the remains turned over to the father, who will take them home for interment. TTHE greatest success is Clairette Soap.

NO SIGN FROM CHILI.| The Little Republic’s Apology Has Not Reached Blaine. PRESSURE TO CREATE ANTI-WAR SEN- TIMENT IN CONGRESS. ~ — — — The Official Correspondence Not Sub- mitted To-Day—No Recent Advices From Santiago Received at Washing- ton — Monitor Miantonomoh Testing Her Guns—An English Opinion. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5.—The cable gram from Valparaiso, announcing that in- structions had been sent to Minister Montt to make an apology to the United States for the attack upon and the killing of the Balti- more’s sailors, so far lacks confirmation. At the State Department itis said that Minister Montt has not notified this Government of the fact that such instructions had been re- ceived by him. A systematic endeavor is now being made through personal appeals to Senators and Members to counteract whatever war senti- ment has been aroused. These appeals are being made by persuns who have large in- interests in Chili which will be jeopardized by aconflict, and who have come to Wash- ington from New York for no other reason than to prevent the authorization of a declaration. of war should such a step be threatened. Quite a number of members were approached by those emissaries of Chili yesterday. The correspondence which the President has promised to send to Congress relating to the attack upon the Baitimore’s sailors at Valparaiso will not be sent in to-day. In fact, there is reason to believe that some days will elapse before the public will know officially just what has passed between the Department of State and Minister Egan on the one side and the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister Montt on the other. The unofficial announcement ofthe prac- tical completion of the judicial proceedings in Valparaiso, and the intention of the Chilian legal authorities to punish the three Chilians convicted of participation in the as- sault, has given satisfaction here, and is generally regarded as a distinct concession by the Chilians to the United States, showing that there will not, in all probabillhy, be any further undue delay in the disposition of the case. These tidings have not, so far as can be learned, been officially made known to Secretary Blaine, by Minister Montt, and it may be that the latter will await the sentence of the convicted Chilians before he presents to the Secretary the conclusions reached by the judicial authorities of hiscountry. With matters in this promising condition, it 18 therefore unlikely thata disturbing element will be introduced in the negotiations by the publication of the incomplete correspond- ence. AS A DISPATCH BOAT. THE YACHT GOLDEN ROD MAY BE SENT TO CHILIAN WATERS. New YORK, Jan. 5.—It was rumored yester- day that in view of the possibility of a war between the United States and Chili Archi- bald Watt, commander of the American Yacht Club, had placed at the disposal of the Government his handsome and speedy steam yacht, Golden Rod. The offer, itis said, was made as soon as it was learned that the United States would be in need of light and fast vessels for duty as torpedo crulsers or dispatch boats. Commodore Watt, in reply to a question whether or not his flagship had been Offered to the Government, ex- pressed surprise. That is a question which it would be manifestly more proper to refer to the officials of the Navy Department than me., said the Commodore. ‘I willonly say this, that if there should bea war between the United Statesand Chill and the Government did the honor to make use of my yacht she would be commanded by whatever naval officer the Department saw fit to detail. If my services would be of any use tothe Government you may be assured that my boat would not go to sea without e * If Chin should fall to make reparation for the Baltimore affair and a war ora demon- stration of force becomes necessary, the United States will find itself — | in need of boats of the Golden Kod class for duty as lookout and dispatch vessels. In time of war many of the faster yachts could be utilized for this purpose, and would undoubtedly prove themselves valuable adjuncts to the fleet. These small vessels would have functions to perform quite as im- portant as those of the heavy armored cruisers in fact, a few light guns and torpe- does may give some brilliant young naval officer an opportunity to distinguish himself as young Cushing did by blowing up the Albe- marie. The opportunities on board such ves- sels are many, and there area hundred or more officers ready to volunteer for this duty immediately. The Gelden Rodis now laid up in winter quarters on the Harlem River, adjoining Commodore Watt’s estate. If the United States should desire to utilize the Golden Rod in a sudden emergency, she could be converted into a formidable torpedo crulser within two weeks. Should war be declared all the naval ves sels available for co-operation in Chilian waters would promptly rendezvous at some point in the South American oceans, and form a fleet that would proceed to Chill through the Straits of Magellan. The Golden Rod and any other fast yachts that might be offered to the government would accompany this fleet as packet or lookout boats and tor- pedo cruisers. TRYING THE VENEZUELA. INCIDENT WHICH LOOKS LIKE PREPARA- TION FOR WAR. New YORK, Jan. 5.— That the United States Governmentis actively preparing for war was shown in the extraordinary trial trip of the steamship Venezuela of the Red Line, under the supervision of a naval board of in- spection. This most remarkable trial, which was for the purpose of determining whether the ship came up to the service re- ulrements regardin speed, was begun unday afternoon and concluded yesterday. The trial is said to have been perfectly suc- cessful, the vessel maintaining an average s d of over fourteen knots for four consec- utive hours. The Venezuelaisanew vessel lately constructed by the Cramps and plies between the South American ports. The Cir- cassus of the same line will be subjected toa similar trial on her return. THE NEW CABINET, SOMETHING ABOUT PRESIDENT MONTT’S OFFI- CIAL ADVISERS. — Wasuincror, D. C., Jan. 5.—Chilian Minis- ter Pedro Montt is highly pleased with the composition of the new Cabinet. He says of the members: Ramon Barros Luco, the Min- ister of the Interior, was one of the members of the Junta—the three persons who const!- tuted the provisional Government during and after the recent civil war. He has been four times a member of the Ca binet—once as Min- ister of the Interior, once as Minister of Pub lic Works, and twice as Minister of Finance.

MONITOR MIANTONOMOH THOROUGHLY TESTING HER BIG GUNS. NEw YorK, Jan. 5.—The new Monitor Mian- tonomoh, the pride of the navy, is to-day at Gardiner’s Bay and will remain there the rest of the week to thoroughly test her guns. These guns weigh about twenty-seven tons THE each andare the heaviest rifies that have thus far been mounted upon one of our men-of- war. They are about thirty feet in length, fre a projectile weighing 500 pounds with a charge varying from 225 to 240 pounds of pow- der. These chargeg take up so much space that they are divided in four sections, two being contained An a box. The projectile is too heavy for handling by hand, and when raised to its loading position at the rear of the gun a dydraulic rammer is used to push itinto the shot chamber. sufficient force to penetrate 19.8 inches of steel. It is fired with The minor guns are rapid-fire weapons of the Hotchkiss and Driggs-Schroeder pattern, both the invention of Americans, the latter deriving its name from two of ourtnaval om. cers who patented it,and have superintended the manufacture, tonomoh fire shells weighing six pounds, Those aboard the lan- while the Hotchkiss are three pounders. In addition to mounting these guns about the deck, they also find positions in the top on the single mast carried for this purpose and for signalling. Ihe steaming trial of the Monitor will prob- ably develop but fewif any new features, as there have not been many changes in her machinery since she crpised between here and Newport several summers ago. The Monitor carries no marines, but hasa crew of 132 men, including deck, engine and stewards’ departments. The following are her officers: Capt.

RUMOR AT SANTIAGO, MINISTER MONTT SAID TO HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO APOLOGIZE. SANTIAGO, Jan. 5.—A seemingly well-au- thenticated rumor prevails at the Chilian capital that the Government has cabled in- structions to Minister Montt of Washington, directing him to tender an apology to the United States for the action of the Valparaiso mob, The rumor lacks oficial verification. Senor Pratt has been appointed the new In- tendente of Santiago, At the fall of Valpar- aiso his name was prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency. Police are still kept about the Amecican Le- gation, and in explanation of this it is stated that they are on duty to prevent acts of dis- courtesy to Minister Egan by the populace. THE ENGLISH VIEW.

BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS RESUMED WORK TO-DAY. Democrats Desire an Early Adjournment and Will Hasten Legislation—Woman Suffrage to Be Pressed—Wm. R. Mor- rison Reappointed on the Interstate Commerce Commission. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5.—The scene on the floor ofthe House this morning was a lively one. There was a large attendance of membersand the fact that this was prac- tically the first business day of the House of the Fifty-second Congress attracted a number of outsiders who went from member to member of- fering suggestions as to measures which should be introduced or solicited offices for themselves or friends. The galleries, al- though not crowded, were well filled and their occupants surveyed the scene with attentive interest. Every where New Year’s greetings were exchanged and the utmot good feelng and fraternity prevailed and for once political and personal animosity seemed to be eradicated. At noon the House was called to order by Clerk Kerr, who stated he regretted to annonnce the in- ness of the Speaker and declared that the only business in order was the election of Speaker pro tem. On motion of Mr. Springer of Illinois the honor of that election was bestowed upon Mr. Me- Miuin of Tennessee, who, on taking the chair, was warmly applauded by his party colleagues. The condition of Speaker Crisp continues to improve, but it will probably be at least two weeks before his health will permit him safely to resume his duties as presiding Officer, Dr. Walsh, his physician, said that the Speaker was now conva- lescent, with not a solitary unfavor- able symptom, and that he hoped to have him a sitting up in two or three days. With the last few days the Speaker’s appetite has been steadily growing ‘better, and with this ability to assimilate easily Ggestible solid food is coming increased strength. The Speaker was consuited as to his wishes with reference to a Speaker pro tem of the House. He said that the rules did not give him authority to name a temporary successorand that he did not wish to express any preference, but to leave to the members of the House their own se- lection ofa Speaker pro tem. There wasa general feeling on the part of the Democrats in favor ofthe selection of Mr. McMillin of Tennessee as presiding officer. There was an informal meeting of the Rules Committee this morning, which was attend- ed by several representatives who are not members of the committee. Mr. Burrows of Michigan represented the Republican mi- nority. Mr. Reed was not present. There was no disposition on the part of the Republican members to take advantage of any embar- rassments arising from the Speaker’s iliness, and it was decided to permit the ordinary de- tails of legislation to proceed without ob- MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS WANT A DECISION On THEIR STATE ELECTORAL ENACTMENT. be perfected by which the case can be got before the Supreme Court and a decision had before the summer adjournment. FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT. There are a numberof leading Democrats who desire to have the work of Congress ex- pedited a nd an early adjournment reached. and among them Representative McCreary of Kentucky, who nas in hand an amendment to the rules, which may be offered to-day. Gov. McCreary believed that all the appro- priation bills ought to be reported tothe House within the next eighty days, so that they can receive speedy consideration, and thus insure an early termination of the ses- sion. The amendment reads as follows: It shall be the duty of several committees having jurisdiction of general appropriation bills to report said appropriation bills to the House (except the general deticiency bill) within eighty days after the committees are announced inalong session of Con- gress, and within forty days after the commence- ment of a short session, and if any committee fail to s0 report, the reasons of such failure shall be privi- leged for consideration when called for by any member. WOMEN SUFFRAGE. The usual Constitutional amendment to provide for woman suffrage, which has made its appearance annually for some years, will be introduced in this session by pre- sentative Greenleaf, of Rochester, N. Y., whose wife is President of the Woman Suf- frage Association of New York, Congressman Greenleat believes that the matterof sex ought not to determine the right of suffrage. He believes that a woman who Is equally in- telligent with men, who owns property, pays taxes, and contributes to the support of the Government, ought not, in justice, to be de- prived of a voice in the control of affairs, Lowest-Priced House in America for fine GOLD AND SILVER WATCHES.

UNDOING what the late Republican Con- gress did is only half the work that the people expect of the Democratic Congress- men. Dr. EDWARDS, the independent Repub- lican member of the New York Senate, has proved to be utterly useless to Boss PLATT and his henchmen. He has a conscience and says he will follow it. —* nee n 1 8 The SUNDAY Post-DIsPaToH accepts ad- wertising on a distinct and unequivocating guarantee that its circulation in the City of St. Louts and suburbs is more than double that of the “‘Republic” and larger than any other Sunday newspaper. THERE is absolute safety in the redis- tricting of the State by the Legislature and at hest grave uncertainty in its redistrict- ing by the Governor. Toa Governor who holds the law in respect and the interests of his State at heart the safe way is the only way. e Tne exclusion of Puck and Judge from the Boston public library is an amazing piece of folly. The ground is that they are only comic.“ at least consistent. They retain London Punch, which certainly is not open to the charge of comicality. U]H— ͤ— — e — os Ir is said that ALGErR’s influence is being thrown against SHERMAN. As his in- fluence is wholly monetary, the inference isplain. It will not be surprising if sen- sational disclosures are made in the caucus and a sort of York-Pomeroy-Ingalls done is witnessed in the Ohio capital. Tue dynamite crank commenced work in St. Louis yesterday. It has not yet been demonstrated, however, that the wrecking of the Miller bakery was the work of a crank who is too far gone in lunacy to be benefited by discipline, and a@ severe example would have a most salu- tary effect upon beginners. 7 Tur importance of Gov. Hus victory in making the New York Legislature safely Democratic lies in the fact that nothing now stands in the way of a reapportionment + ty K. 5 f * * of legislative seats. These have heretofore distributed according to an old basis which became obsolete years But the Bostonese are by a Republican Legislature and business has been blocked. The State is now Demo- cratic in, all its branches with a strong probability of its remaining so. THE VOICE OF NEW YORK. There is an irreconcileable diversity of opinion observable in two of the New York papers that are undertaking to teach the Democratic party what it must do to be saved from defeat in 1892. They are as far apart as the poles on the silver question and the tariff question, but their disagreement is far fiercer as to men than as to measures. While the Sun is now whooping for HI. as enthusiastically as it did for BEN Bor- LER in 1884, and is even more bitter against CLEVELAND now than it was then, the Times elevates CLEVELAND upon a pedes- tal of praise high above his party and de- nounces HILL as an uncommonly: pesti- lent fellow, who has got himself hated by all decent and law-abiding citizens’’—‘‘a marauder who is known to be ready to steal anything “he can lay his hands on’’— ‘fa man who has been seven years} Govern- or of New York, whose tenure of Office has been an almost unmixed evil,’’ and who now ‘‘departs from the scenes of his de- pravity impenitent and inflexibly bent on his own damnation.’’ Each of these papers is manifestly pre- paring to resume its old habit of knifing and defeating the Democratic ticket in 1892 unless its favorite is nominated; the Sun, unless HILL is the man, and the Times, un- less CLEVELAND is the man. But it is to be hoped that Democrats and people of the country at large, remote from the blinding animosities of New York’s local faction strifes will utterly discredit what these papers say about such Democrats as CLEVELAND and HILL, whose public records should speak for them. The Sun’s virulent opposition did not deprive CLEVELAND of New York’s vote in 1884, nor prevent his receiving 100,000 more New York votes in 1888 than in 1884. The Times’ bitter opposition to H did not keep him from securing a re-election as Governor, being elected United States Senator, and turning the Governorship over to a Democratic successor with a Legislature Democratic in both houses for the first time in many years, These facts show that the voice of the Democracy and people of New York finds truer utterance in the New York WORLD, which treats CLEVELAND and HILL with equal fairness, according deserved praise orcensure with impartial hand to both and holding the worth or the claims of all candidates as matters for the cool judg- ment of the party at the last moment, and to be regarded even theras mere dust in the balance when weighed against the triumph of sound principles and the suc- cess of just measures. — * nne MINIsTER Montr of Chili states that the chief difficulty in the way of an adjustment of the trouble between his country and the United states is Min- ister EGAN. He says that his relations with the Chilian Government have been so strained that it has been impossible to arrive, through him, at an amicable ar- rangement. Perhaps Messrs. HARRISON and BLAINE can explain why the interests of the Government should be sacrificed for the benefit of one man. „ — THE Polytechnic investigation, owing to the difficulties in the way of the commit- tee, may not bring out conclusive proofs of corruption in the sale of thé building, but it has brought out that the deal had all the marks of jobbery and that the school interests were sacrificed. It sug- gests reforms that are badly needed in the handling of school properties and with only the results now attained the benefits which may be derived from it are worthy of the time and labor expended. — . — TBE only way in which the Democratic majority in the House can make good campaign material is to pass bills in the interest of the people, bills aimed at mo- nopolies, subsidies and iniquitous taxa- tion. Ifthe Republican majority in the Senate refuses to pass them, or the Repub- lican President vetoes them the material will not be impaired for Democratic pur- poses. WILLIAM L. Scorr's retusal to bequeath any of his vast wealth to charitable or edu- cational institutions must in the light of recent will contests be considered a wise and prudent act. It seems to be almost impossible to make a valid bequest to such a purpose. The only way for benev- olent millionaires to help such good causes is to do it in their life time. War the opinion of a large majority of the Legislature is with respect to the proper method of redistricting the State is shown by the adoption of the resolution suggesting to the Governor the best time to call the extra session for that purpose. There was no question in the minds of the Democratic legislators that an extra ses- sion would and should be called. _ ~~ — 1 — — — — THE situation in the Chilian imbroglio indicates: that the question of an honorable settlement is secondary to the question of whether BLAIne or Harrison shall gain the greater advantage out of it. It is extremely un- fortunate for a country when its foreign relations are thus subject to the influences of personal ambition. In view of the German Emperor’s re- cent eccentric conduct, would it not be wise to discourage his proposed visit to the World’s Fair? American millionaires ought not to be wantonly exposed to EXPERTS TESTIFY. Real Estate Men Say the Polytechnic Was Sacrificed. CHAIRMAN HUTTIG ATTACKS THE MAN- WER OF KEEPING THE BOARD'S BOOKS. ; No Re-Valuation of Property Although the Increase Has Been Nearly $1,000,0Q0 -The Ground on Which the Polytech- nic Stands Valued by Real Estate Agent Boeck at $162,000. The School Board Committee investigating the sale of the Polytechnic Building, met last night to continue the examination of wit- nesses, and further important testimony will be gathered Wednesday night bearing upon that remarkable transaction. At last night’s meeting Chairman Huttig and Messrs. Bartholdt, Holthaus, spinning, Brockman and Blair were present, as were also Direct- ors Brady, Oudmore and ex-Director Bosley. Director Alex Cudmore, of Cudmore Bros., the ring carpenter, was placed on the stand. Mr. Cudmore’s memory was defective. He didn’t remember whether he did or did not vote forthe sale resolution, and disremem- bered allabout the resolution to reconsider, He never gave the price of the building the slightest thought, as such little considera- tions as protecting the School Board’s prop- erty never entered his head. He admitted being an Aulerite, but suggested that he may have left that faction, on occasion, to vote with the Millerites. He had never heard a price put on the building until he heard the sale resolution read on the night of Aug. 12, 1890. Asa builder he was of the opinion that the cellings were defective and dangerous. He preferred the Polytechnic lot without the building to the lot with the building standing on it, but couldn’t be induced to puta price on the building, . RBAL ESTATE EXPERTS TESTIFY. O. H. Bailey, the real estate dealer, testi- fied that he had been for thirty years in bust ness and was well grounded on values. He considered the Polytechnic ground worth $1,000 per front foot at the time of the sale and easily worth $1,250 per front foot now, with the corner worth $1,800. As tothe value of the building he was disinclined to give an opin- ion. e instanced the sale of the opposite corner to Mr. Wainwright for $127,000, .and thought Mr. Brookings had got a bargain in the Polytechnic building. Adam Boeck, the real estate agent said that the Polytechnic property was easily worth $1,000 a front foot at the time of the sale and was worth 20 per cent more now. He had tried to sell the property for 5150, 000 in 1889, but could not, e was of the opinion that if $15,000 could be spent on the ~building so as to drin in $20,000 in rents, it would be worth ,000 andthe whole prop- erty $175,000. He now thought the lot alone worth $162,000. After a protracted secret session the com- mittee adjourned to 4:30 to-morrow. The in- vestigation will probably be completed at to- morrow’s session and a report ready for pre- sentation atthe board meeting on Jan. 12. Already the investigation has gone sum ciently far to show the great necessity of re form in the board’s system of conducting business. Chairman C. H. Huttig of the ln vestigating Committee was seen this morn- ing by a PosT-DISPATCH reporter relative to the action already taken and the work ac- complished by his committee. BAD BOOK- KEEPING. „am now reasonably sure,“ said Mr. Huttig, that the investigation of the Poly- technic sale will be concluded Wednesday night. in which event the committee will make its report at the next regular monthly meeting of the board one week from to-night. Ihe investigation has got at facts con- cerning the Polytechnic sale, but I am not yet ready to disclose those facts, nor will I be until authorized by the committee, which will be when its report is ready to be made to the board. But in addition to facts about the Polytechnic sale, there have been many other things of importance developed by the investigation. „One of these is that the School Board not been properly kept At the next meeting board there will be a resolution introduced to have all property of the School Board revalued and the new valu- ation put on the books. This revaluation willshow a difference between the record value as now appearing on the books and the real value of at least $1,000,000, the difference being inthe form of a decrease from the present incorrect valuation. The errors in valuation were brought about from the sys- tem of charging repairs and improvements to building accounts, thus apparently giving butidings a value represented by all money spent upon them. Under such asystem, the Polytechnic Building itself now has a value on the books of $400,000. In some locations realestate has advanced so materially as to partly offset the effect of this revaluation, but the aggregate difference, I am sure, will be 51,000, 000. he methods in use in selling School Board property have also been found very objectionable, and a resolution will be introduced to change this method. It will provide that when a iece ofr property is to be Sold tshall be thoroughly advertised and sold at — auction to the highest bidder. The oard shall, however, retain the right to re- ject all bids, so thatif the price be too small it will not have to be sacrificed. The Investigation Committee will not be discharged at the close of the Polytechnic in- vestigation. It will be continued, and will take up other matters not yet touched upon,’ Dr. Benno Steinmetz Resigns. Dr. Benno Steinmetz, for five years one of the assistant physicians at the City Dis- pensary, resigned his position last week, and to-day took his leave, when Dr. James A. McMillan was appointed to fill the vacancy. Dr. Steinmetz leaves the office with the best wishes of all his r and of those who met him in his position as assist- ant at the institution. Two years ago he in- troduced hypnotism as an aid in the treat- ment of all kinds of cases at the Dispensary, and met with such success that the attention of the schools of hypnotism at Nancy, Francs, and Berlin, Germany, has been at- tracted to the St. Louis institution. It isthe only public dispensary in the West where hypnotism has been successfully practiced. Dr. Steinmetz was compelled to give up his position through the growth of his private 1 and the pressure for time to attend to It. Small Fires. An overheated stove caused $10 damage to Pierslies & Oonrades’ feed store at 1100 North Ninth street at 7:30 last night. The alarm from box 148 at 7 o’clock this morning was occasioned by a fire in a one- story building in the rear of 1818, Souch Eighth street, causing a damage Of $15. Cause of fire unknown. a Hot coals falling from a grate to the floor caused a da of 680 to Catherine Simon's house, at 119 North Fourteenth street, at 7 o’clock last night. The fire was extinguished witha few b of water. An alarm was turned in from box 313 at 8:30 o’clock last night for a fire in the third story of the building at 2628 Morgan street, caused by a coal-oll lamp exploding. Damage slight. Dostitute Families. Emily Fonson, a widow 86 years of age, is Uving in the basement at 618 South Broadway in 0 sick and destitute condition. She is to be a worthy.o t of charity. John Turner, wife and four small chil- dren are Mi at 8102 Th in Gus Stall, a boy of 17 years, was fined $15 in the Second District Police Court this morn- ing for striking Walter McOreadie, a lad of 12, on Dec, 20, Walter hada black eye to show = for Stall’s blows, and he got in an upper-cut with the aid of the Judge. John Smith, colored, carelessly tossed a 50 cent piece into the alley between Washington and Carr, Seventh and Eighth streets yester- day and awaited develo ts. Frank James, a white man, came along pi up the money. Smith gave hima tb 1 for the trouble and was landed in the Th District Police Station. He was fined $15 for his little game in the Second District Police Court to day. ; ATTRACTIONS OF THE WEEE. The Kendals’ Opening at the Olympic— Offerings of the Other Theaters. It is to the credit of the authors ot Kath - erine Kavanagh, the play presented by the Kendals at the Olympic last evening, that they have injected some original elements in- to the Magdalen story which is the basis of their production. The authors go deep into crime to obtain their emotional leverage, but the shady side is briefly disposed of at the beginning of the play and sympathy forthe reformed woman is delicately woven and preserved. In using the poor cripple, who is devoted to the new Katherine, as the means of saving her from exposure and ruin, an element which is clever, appealing and dramatic, is in- troduced. The pathos of misfortune and the sweetness of a purified and chastened nature are finely depicted in this character. The three principal characters, Katherine, her victim, Hawley, and the cripple, Hoell Brinnilow, are well defined and sustained. The play drags a little at times because of some unnecessary and ineffective dialogues, but its cnief purpose of placing a wrung heart upon exhibition is thoroughly achieved, and some excellent r are offered several members of the cast. Its love and come dy passages are somewhat inane and wearisome, Mrs. Kendal has never done better emo- tional acting here than as Katherine. she showed less mannerism and more genuine feeling than in anywof her previous efforts, although she was not entirely free from affec- tation. In several of her scenes, however, she obtained vivid and absorbing effects by thoroughly artistic methods. ‘he honors were shared by ° ® Dodson whose Hoell Brinnlilow was a model of artistic simplicity and quiet strength. Fortunately Mr. Kendal had the part of a somewhat stolid and practical Englishman in Reginald Hawley and played it with simple directness in which there was neither subtility of de- lineation nor intensity of emotion. Miss Nellie Campbell succeeded merely in looking the sweet and pleasing girl, and the other parts were either so slight or so weakly at- tempted that they are scarcely worth men- tioning. The audience was excellent, but was in- clined to be somewhat cold, although Mrs. Kendal’s work received some warm ap- proval. To-night Tom Taylor’s drama, **Still Waters Run Deep. will be revived. GRAND—'‘‘MR, BARNES OF NEW YORK.’’ Mr. Barnes of New York’’ was given its own place in the drama long ago, a play not worthy of note froman art standpoint, but affording popular entertainment by a clever blending of an interesting story with varied comedy materials. It ranges easily from farce to tragedy and thus accommodates the differing tastes of the public. It is to the stage what the popular paper-backed novel is to literature and affords diverting enter- tainment. At the head of the company TTA ing it now at the Grand are Hugo Tcland and May Wheeler, with a full cast capable of do- ing the work required. It is running smoothly. THE HAGAN—‘‘S BELLS.’’ The Hagon has a novelty this week in **8 Bells’’ a nautical pantomimic comedy in which Primrose & West Comedy Co. are mak- ing a success. The piece de resistance“ of the production is a genuine live ship *trocked in the cradle of the deep’’ to such anextent that it capsizes, makes fourteen complete resolutions and goes down with all on board amidst the shouts of the audience. Mr. John F. Byrne and his three brothers furnish the greater portion of the funin the plece, supported by a 2 company which helps tell the story of comical mis haps arising from the mixed identities of Daniel McGozzle (John F. 1 and Charles Fitzgerald (Mr. Percy ingsley). Good 1 features in the programme are the the quartette of singing sallors, Tom Browne the whistler, and the juggling act of Mr. Matthew Byrne. POPE’S—HOWARD ATHEXN ZUM CO, The Boston Howard Athenwum Co. at Pope’s this week is giving a specialty per- formance which fully supports the high rep- utation of that organization, being full of excellent novelties by first-class artists. The most striking new acts on the programme are those of Eva Bartoldi, the European contortionist and equilibrist; Fulgora, *‘the transfigurator;’’ Kava, the juggler, in his first American season, and Kraatz brothers in their new and most remarkable hat-to-hat balancing act. Crowded houses are the rule for this company. HAVLIN’S—‘**THE TLUN GER. Oliver Byron and Mrs. Kate Byron in The Plunger’’ are at Havlin’s and are drawing well. The play has been seen here before but Is strong enough in Us pecullar features to retain its popularity, and tells a story of mingled farce and melodrama that appeals strongly to the audience. As Dexter Digit, the plunger, and Mrs. Cora Clover, the Irish widow, Mr. and Mrs, Byron have congenial characters, and their support is efficient, Regular Thursday and Saturday matinees. STANDARD—‘‘NEW YORK DAY BY DAT. At the Standard ‘‘New York Day by Day,’’ a thrilling melodrama, is the attraction this week, with W. Renslier in the leading part of Jack Waters, an American sallor, and a company distributed in the cast of charac- ters common to a story of New Lor life as told on the stage. The scbnic features of the production are good, and it is drawing well. MARGARET MATHER’ 8 REPERTOIRE. Margaret Mather’s repertoire for next week at the Grand includes Joan of Arc, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday; The Honeymoon, Wednesday ™~™ afternoon ; Nance Oldfield’’ and 'The Love Chase,’ Wednesday evening, with ‘‘Leah’’ Thurs- day and Saturday. ‘‘Joan of Arc’’ will be given Saturday afternoon. THE CUSTER MASSACRE, Disobedience of Orders Said to Have Caused the Slaughter. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 5.—In his me- morial sermon at the funeral of Maj. -Gen. Alfred H. Terry, Rev, Theo. T. Munger, pas- tor of the United Church, this city, referred to the massacre of Gen. Custer’s command in June, 1876. He said: | ‘*Custer’s fatal movement was in direct violation of both verbal and written orders. When his rashness aud disobedience ended in the total destruction of his command Gen. Terry withheld the fact of the disobeyed orders ana suffered an imputation hurtful to his own military reputation rather than sub- ject a brave, but indiscreet, subordinate toa charge of disobedience.’’ 17 In the January number of the Century James B. Frye, in commenting on Dr. Mun- ger’s remarks quoted above, S: ‘*When called to account for the accusation which he made against one dead soldier at the Christian burial of another, Dr. Mung gave Col. R. P. Hughes of the United Stat navy, a brother-in-law of Gen. Terry and! a long time his aide, as authority for his ¢ famatory assertion. Col. Hughes denied having authorised Dr. Munger to make the Statement, though he admits he was the source of the doctor’s information. Rev. Dr. Munger, speaking to-day of Gen, Frye’s criticism, said: Prior to the funeral Col. Hughes, in con- versation about Gen, Terry and of his con- nection with the fil-fated Indian war, said that Custer had both written and verbal orders.

HIS LETTER TO THE: ASSEMBLY GIVING | HIS VIEWS. 4 A Statement From the Chief Executive That in His Opinion It Was Absolutely Necessary to Redistrict the State—Sup- posed Reasons for the Alteration in His Convictions, When the General Assembly adjourned last March, every Sevator and Representative was under the impression that the Governor would call an extra session for the purpose of redistricting the State. They had excel- lent reasons for thinking so, as they had the Governor’s written opinion that the Assembly should arrange the new Congressional and electoral districts, It was on the 18th of February when the regular session was nearly at an end, that the Governor officially notified the Legislature ofthe passage of the new apportionment act by Congress and the fact that Missouri was entitled under its pro- visions to an additional Congressman and electoral vote, THE GOVERNOR ON RECORD. Gov. Francis’ notification was concluded in the following language: STATE OF MISSOURI f Crry OF JEFFERSON, Feb. 18, 1591. To the General Assembly of the State of Missourt: GENTLEMEN—I have the honor to forward to you herewith through the Housea communication from the Secretary of the State of the United States, in- closing a certified copy of actof Congress, ap- proved Feb. 7, 1891,entitled ‘*An Act making an ap- portionment of Representatives in Congress among the several States under the eleventh census. You will observe that by this act Missouri is given fifteen members ofthe House of Representatives after the 3d of March, 1893, or with the beginning of the Fifty-third Congress. As the State has at present only fourteen representatives this will give Missouri one additional, and at the general election in 1892 it willbe necessary to elect fifteen members of Con- gress. In my opinion it is advisable that the Thirty- sixth General Assembly should redistrict the State into fifteen Congressional and Electoral Districts. Respectfully, DAVib R. FRANCIS, Governor. PART OF THE JOURNAL. The communication above given is part of the official journal of the regular session of the Thirty-sixth General Assembly, which Gov. Francis said should redistrict the State. The Governor could not have stated his opin- ion more clearly. In my opinion it is advisable that the Thirty-sixth General Assembly snould redistrict the State into fifteen congressional and electoral districts. Such is the concluding sentence of his message to the Assembly, as is shown by the journal, Members of the Assembly are placing vari- ous constructions on the Governor’s change of base on the extra session question, After declaring that the Thirty-sixth Assembly should do the redistricting he is now disposed to take the stand that an extra session is not necessary. W hat has brought about this change of opin- ion isa question of pecullar interest to the Senatorsand Representatives at this time and they are giving much comment to the subject. One of the stories fying about the State is that the influence of the fourteen Congressmen at resent representing Missouri has een used to preventan extra term, for the reason that they are averse to having their districts lines changed. They would, itis said, be willing to assist the Governor in any of his future political aims, if he would only prevent the Assembly from changing the geographical jlimits of their dis- tricts. Those who are disposed to take this view and gzive it circulation admitthat while it does not ap- ply to some two or threeof the districts it certainly does to the others. AN ALLEGED SELFISH VIEW. Reasoning from this view they say that the Congressmen would certainly rather see the new Congressman elected at large, than from a new district. Some who are disposed to be more severe on the subject say these same Congressmen would even see the additional vote in the electoral college chal- lenged than consent to have the Assembly interfere with their districts. Gov. Francis’ supporters say that such re- ports are ridiculous. His object in confer- ring with the Missouri deiegation in Con- gress, they argue, was simply to get their views on the extra session. ‘hey said they did not consider an extra session necessary, but it is denied that they were actuated by selfish considera- tions in giving such an opinion, While Gov. Francis has not positively de- clared that he will not call the extra session, yet the impression is general that he does not want to do it and will not if he can avoid it. The Governor’s friends do not like the character of the reports that are oing the rounds. hey say that if he does refuse to call the session, his reason will be that there is no existing neces- sity for running up such an expense to the State. St. EXPECTED AN EXTRA TERM. Louis members of the Legislature all say that when they left Jefferson City last March, they felt that there was no doubt whatever that an extra session would be called. When the communication was sent to the two Houses there was a rush of business on hand which kept the Assembly busy until the nextday. There was no time, they say. to make any start on the redistrict- ing work. Will Meet Here Thursday.

RETURNED WITHOUT A BRIDE. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 5.—T. A. Arm- strong, proprietor ofa sawmill near here, has returned from Cooper, Mich,, without the bride he expected to bring back. It seems that he was engaged to Mrs. Lulu Edgarton, a charming young widow of Cooper, but had never seen her, his acquaintance with her having been made through a correspondence and which is said to have been conducted on his part principally by his book-keeper. When the gay cane © dow met him for the first time she took tall back and said she’d prefer to continue a widow. THINKS THEY HAVE ELOPED.

New YorK, Jan. 6.—Harry Meredith, an actor who only recently arrived in town after playing in the West with the Piotilla company, was racing around the tenderloin district last night trying to buy or borrowa pistol with which to shoot Jere Dunn, the well-known all around sport who killed Elli- ott, the prize fighter, in Chicago some years ago. Meredith and Dunn had a short but lively fight in the bar room of the Hoffman House early last nicht. Meredith says he had the better of the fracas, but the contrary seems to be the truth. It appears that Dunn and some acquaint- ances were sitting at one of the tables when Meredith and Louis Harrison came in and sat down at a near by table. Meredith has no admiration for Dunn and said something that sounded very much like Look at that feilow, Jere Duna, working a sucker.’’ Dunn overheard the remark, and, jumping out, shouted: ‘‘You — — —, what do you mean?’’ Meredith arose at the same moment and the two-big men—Meredith is a six-footer— came together. There was only one exchan of blows when the men clinched. Meredith declared that inthe wrestle he threw Dunn and fell on him, but from an actor who was — It was learned that Dunn lifted up leredith and dumped him over on a table. He was about tostrike Meredith in the face when half a dozen bystanders pulled him away and hustled them out. Louis Harrison, it is said, deeming discretion the better part of valor, got tothe streetas fast as he could after the fight began. Immediately after being put out of the hotel Meredith went in search of his friends and told them of his trouble. He was very much excited and swore that he would ki Dunn before the night was over. He tried to borrow a re- volver from several persons, but each man said he did not possess a pistol. A pawn- broker refused to sell hima weapon when he saw that the man was underthe influence of liquor and in a great state ot excitement. Up to 1 o’clock this morning he had not succeeded in procuring one. LABOR NEWS.

THE CITY MUST BE BID OF THE DI sEasp BREEDERS, - m His Honor Expresses Himself Very Foro ibi onthe Subject—The Board os Health Has Reopened the Fight and Will Bring Cases Against the con- demned Establishments Every Day The Board of Health have again turned their attention to the Lowoll nulsancos, Ty» board met at 4 o’clock yesterday in the 43. sembly room of the board. Mayor Noonan presided. The principal business before the board was the consideration of the Lowey nuisances. Dr. Finney, the the board, announced that Thursday the board would decretary of on next take action the Lowel] establishments to abate their Nulsances Mayor Noonan at once took up the cne ang expressed himself in nouncertain terms upon the Lowell rendering establishments. THE MAYOR OUTSPOKEN, Gentlemen of the board: I take the deep- est interest in the annihilation of these pests to the health of North st. Louis ang to the welfare of the entire city, Much has been said of the tou! stench and the fetid pools due toth ese establishments and much, too, has been said on the other side ofthe question. I therefore determined to make a personal examination. I devoted an afternoon one day last week toan object study of these nuisances. I Urove upthere and examined the drains, the stench and the pool on Hall street. The evidence was too convincing to @Qeed further question. [te you, gentlemen, if the citizens of North st. Louis only knew the danger which they har. bor in their midst, if they were only aware of the real evil of those rendering establish ments, they would rise up en masse and destroy them. The evidence ts there and no amount of reasoning will take away the facts. Before I had come within fui) view of my destination, I became painfully sensible of the presence of a menace to pub. lic health. THE STENCHES A cnsxr. The stench from those ing places on Hall Adelaide avenue and ail about up there smells to heaven. The large pool on Hall street, — enough to drown an army of men, is a stand ng breeder of fata! disease germs. The filthy contents of the pool are biack and brackish. They are almost as thick as mud, and beneath the heat of summer there is no limit to the amount of evil which this pool, this sink hole of the rendering estab- ments, can do. „But I am satisfied that the Board of Health is acting for the very best interests of the city. Iam positive that you gentlemen will leave no stone unturned to maintain the sanitary welfare of St. Louls. I will not cease to take an active personal interest in the proceedings pending and tofollow. If engagements Wil permit I will drop in upon you at the meeting of next Thursday and! Will take part in the proceedings. Do not give up the fight, and we will win for the city a substantial victory.“ THE LEGAL PROSECUTIONS. The Board of Health has secured a judg- ment against the Lowell rendering establish- ments in the Second District Police Court, which sustained the Board’s order for them to abate their factories. The de- fendants have taken an appeal from this decision, and the case 18 now pending in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion. But according tothe law, the owners of the rendering establishments commit a fresh offense each day they fall to obey the board. The health authorities have, there- fore determined to abate the nulsances by mere force of cumulative legal proceedings. At next Thursday’s meeting, the witnesses for the city will testify to the existence and maintenance of the nuisance. They will robably say that itisa menace to public Realth and a source of much disease. ‘he defendants in reply will make answer but it is not known what their defense will be. In the last cases brought against them, they pleaded that the board had not the wer to act inthe matter. The board ruled otherwise and issued orders to them to abate their establishments. They falledto comply and the board summoned them to appear in the Second Police Court for their infraction of the law. They made — same defense, but after a lenathy trial Judge Paxson fined each of the defendants $100. The same procecu- ings will probably be repeated, until the owners of the rendering establishments are out. render- street, on FAILURES.

When treated in the ord. Mary manner with opiates it cep. erally proves fatal, but this need not be the case. Reid's German Coyoh and Kidney Cure will cure the worst case of pneumonia, because instead of paralyzing the organs of the stomach and kidneys as is the case when opiates are used it stimulates these organs to action, aiding the digestion, inciting the kidneys to perform their work and thus reliev- ing the lungs so that they are en- abled to resume their normal-tone.

MONTEFISCONA, Italy, Jan. 5.—Lee Merri- weather of St. Louis, United States, America, an American tourist who has been traveling about Italy and Greece for some months, is lying at a hotel with a broken arm, which he sustained in a fall received a few days ago.

Mr.Gaty is in mining, and Mr. Andrews thought of course he ought, therefore, to de able to tell abombwhenhe saw it. Mr. Gaty took up the -pipe with some little trepidatién while the crowd in the office stretche their necks over each other’s shoulders to see, keeping atasafe distance. A sigh of disappointment ran around when Mr. Gaty laid down the bomb with a subdued air of re- lief and said: ‘*I can’t tell anything about it.“ Police Officer Curtian came in just at this minute, and Clerk Clarence L. Hoblitzelle ordered him to take the thing away. He carried it to the Four Courtsin @ street car. Police Capt. Young opened it bravely with a ket knife. It was filled with wet saw- ust. MILLER IS MYSTIFIED. HE DOES ‘NOT KNOW WHO THREW THE INTO HIS BAKERY. The snowy ground in the alley behind the hallway of Henry J. Miller, Fourth street and Clark avenue, was covered to-day by hundreds of footprints made by people who came to see the havoc done by the dynamite explosion yesterday. There was very little outside to satisfy their curiosity. Mr. Miller had had a bricklayer and a carpenter at work and the two had repaired the damage so that nobody but a close observe r could tell that there had been any. Inside the bakery business went onas usual. Foreman Charles Schaurer had his half dozen bakers kneading dough, beat- ingup cake mixtures and watching the ovens for the big batches of bread the concern turns out every day. Baker Frank Beck, who was in the shop when the explosion occurred and was hurt Dy bits of flying glass, was at his work with the rest. They were all a little bit nervous and ready tostart when some one droppeda pan with a clatter, but, beyond that, there was nothing out of the ordinary in their de- meanor. _ The guests in the restaurant have to pass through the bakery and pay Mr. Miller as they pass out. Mostofthem had a word or two to say about the attempt to blow up the shop, but the baker did not enter into a discussion of the affair with any of them. ‘‘I don’t know who did it,’’ he would say as he made change, and the man who stop ped and bought a cigar with the hope of hearing a little more went away with the conviction that he had spent his nickel rather foolishly. MILLER STILL MYSTIFIED. Mr. Miller took a reporter of the Posrt- DisPaTCH around to the back of the shop and showed where he had walled up the hole and replaced the casement of the window. Ihen he and Olerk Louls H. Mohr gave the result of their itnvestiagticn ofthe explosion. Mr. Miller had weighed all of the t es suggested, and was dis- satisfied with all of them. Hie is a very care- ful man fb his habits of thought and doesn’t like to jump at conclusions. So, when he finds he has noclew except what might be called the clew circumstantial, he is in- is to accept any decision that nds on them. He was not a — — willing to believe that Max Sanger, the dis- char could have done the thin BOMB of the window was also scouted by Mr. Miller. **The union men are on terms with me now, he sad.

C., Jan. 5.—The following call for a meeting of the Executive Commit- tee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs was issued this morning: DEAR StR—There will be a meeting of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs held on Wednesday. the 20th of January. at the rooms of the association in the Washington Loan & Trust Building, Washington, D. C., atZo’clock. It is very desirable that every member be present at this meeting, whether in per- eon or by proxy. WM. L. WILSON, Chairman Executive Committee. Members of the National Democratic Com- mittee will also meet in Washington on Jan. 20 for the purpose of interchanging ideas, and members who cannot be present have been requested to furnish proxies. The National Committee will meet on the 21st to select the place of holding the next National Demo- cratic Convention. MINNESOTA ALLIANCE. ANNUAL SESSION OF THE STATE CONVENTION AT MINNEAPOLIS. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 5.—The State Farmers’ Alliance met in annual session here to-day with about 700 delegates in attend- ance. The morning was spentin work of preliminary organization and in Ustening to the annual address of Ignatius Don- nelly, the President. This dealt for the most part with the financial and other affairs ofthe Alliance, with references to the political achievements of the organiza- tion, especially in the last Legisiature. Although there has been no little talk ofa fusion between the Alliance and the Dem- ocrats, the leaders declare that the subject will not come up at this meeting. It is the plan to set on foot the organization of the People’s party, to which the Alliance will give its adhesion along with the labororganizations. Then if there is any fusion it will be between this party and the Democracy. The fact that the executive committee of the North Star Democratic Club meets here to-morrow is pointedto as é@vidence that such a fushion may be at- tempted. GAMBLING AT MONTE CARLO. A Young Chicagoan Furnishes the Habit- ues With Food for Gossip. Nice, Jan. 6.—In the chief event of the week at sinful Monte Carlo, the central figure has been Harry Rosenfeld, of Chicago, a sprightly but erratic young gentleman, who has had an extraordinary runof luck. He made his first appearance at the tables last season with his cousin, Joseph Rosenfeld of San Francisco, since deceased, and they both lost considerable sums. This year, however, Rosenfeld’s luck turned, and, if he has not succeeded in breaking the bank, he he has at least got back his own nice little pot, and in addition about £1,500. He punts at the roulette table, his favorite system being to straddle 17 and 18 for 10 or 20 louis, also covering the cross squares ail around these numbers. Of course he often loses, and each of his stakes costs him from 50 to 70 louis, Dut this week he has been ex- ceedingly lucky. On Saturday he won 28,000 francs, on Sunday 18,000 francs, on Monday 15,000 francs, and reg 12,000 francs. Making, up to last night, his gains upon the total of the play about $1,500. He is living in fine style at the London House in Nice, having left the Cosmopolitan Hotel asa little to stringent in its highly- — ad reguiations, as he has a gorgeously ressed young woman with him, who was not with him last year. His friends and ac- ogy are having a giorious time at the ndon House in Nice and at Leo's bar in Monte Carlo. Mr. Rosenfeld showed his ap- reciation of the latter ind!vidual’s attention y making him a present of 2 per cent of his first two nights’ winnings, This is very different from the style of Mr. Wells, who, after winning nearly £30,000, would order drinks and let his friends pay for them, and when he took one himself would not even leave z cents for a tip to the waiter. A SCRAP ON 'CHANGE. Moses Fraley and R. W. Golsan Engage in Fisticufts. The grain pit was enlivened to-day by a fight between Moses Fraley and R. W. Golsan. These gentleme® had a quarrel about a trade, in the course of which Golsan referred to Fraley as a robber. Fraley retorted that he, ha 14 but twice, was less of a rob- ber than Golsan, who had falled four times. The answer was a biow on the nose. — Shoots Shot. MEXICO, Mo., Jan. 5.—Mrs. Alice C. Orr, in she, Ne —— 1 committee Col. Priest to Testify How He Valued the Property—Councilman Oole Corrects a Mistake About His Plans— Masons in the Council to Investigate a Story. Ex-Senator D. H. Armstrong and John G. Priest will be called on soon to testify before the Mullanphy Investigating Committee. Col. Armstrong’s name has been suggested to Chairman Nelson Cole by Gen. Justin Mc- Kinstry, who knows how intimate the ex- Senator was with Bryan Muilanphy. Col. Armstrong was the Comptroller of the city when Mullanphy was the Mayor, and their relations were confidential. One day, not long before the death of Mullanphy, Comp- troller Armstrong was standing on the street talking with some friends when the Mayor came up. **Here are some papers I want you to take charge of, said the Mayor to the Comp- troller. All right, said Comptroller Armstrong, taking them carelessly, and continuing his conversation. When he went back to his office he saw he had the willof the Mayor, creating the emigrat fund, and he lost no time in placing it on record. Col. Armstrong says that Mullanphy did not like bonds as an investment. and thought nothing was like real estate. If the Investi- gating Committee wants to know what Mul- lanphy’s real wishes were with regard to the trust, his evidence will be valuable. Col. Priest was once President of the Mul- lanphy Board, and in evidence given before the Committee, it has been claimed that he sympathizad withthe heirs, when the divis- ion of the property was made, and over- valued the city’s share in order that it might appear to be a fair third. One lot at Sixth and O’Falilon is given as an instance of this. It is said that it was valued at $32,000 when it was turned over to thecity, although it was not worth half that. Col. Priest says he hopes the committee will give himachance to tell the story of that valuation session down in the Mullanphy office, and Chairman Cole says the committee will. ‘‘Ican prove that the figuresI put on the property were fair ones,’’ Col. Priest said. ‘*I can tell the committee, too, if they want to hear it, how 1 construed the wishes of Mullanphy with regard tothe fund. I was not narrow while Iwas President. Itook it that Mullanphy’s wishes were that the money should be usedto help the poor generally, whether going North, South, East or West, and I carried them out according to that Idea. As to the plans of the committee, Chairman Cole said: ‘*Before we introduced that resolu- tion providing for a revaluation of the prop- erty by commissioners we consulted the City counselor. He advised us that the money of the fund could be used to pay the ex- penses of such a commission. The Board say they are spending the money in the same way. If they can do it, cannot the Council do It also. We think so, and so does the Oity Counselor. Jam sorry that an impression has arisen that this Council committee is antagonistic to certain men on the Mullanphy Board. The members of this committee certainlyhave had no share in creating thisimpression. We are after a system, not men. No can ever say that he has heard me speak of fraud or dishonesty in discussing the management of the fund. I have always taken their own fig- ures, hever going behind them, and drawn certain conclusions from them logically. When the property of the board is turned into per ent bonds, which will be the re- suit of this investigation, I believe, the tand will be administered by the same number of officers, precisely. The only 8 change that Ican think of now would a reduction ofthe number of directors. The object ofthe committee will become clear after a while, as the thing works itself out and it will be seen that there is no persona hostility in what we are doing. I think the boark understands that now. A Railroad and a Bridge.

About the only bull factor 75 the market this morning was the decrease of 1,872,000 bu in amount on ocean, and that was so hedged around with bear news and influences that it proved of no assistance to the long side. There were the dull and weak cables, wit Liver 8 lower and deciines in car- goes at London of Re in "acific and South American an in Indian wheats; the large increase in the English visible and the bearish Mark Lane Ex- paces review. Then on this side were snows ere and in the West to protect the winter wheat plant, the large poset pee forthe season of the year and weak markets in every direction. Statements that a large amount of wheat was to be loaded out here for export steadied the market and caused a small reaction, but the small clearances—18, pkgs flour and 220,000 bu wheat from four porte and the heaviness of outside markets held rices down for some time.

Theselling was general, with few buying orders the until Pardriage and holders of puts became buyers. This Dut the rice up to gane. On rumors of higher ¢ables the market sold up to 9506. The closing price is 95@95\ec, with light offerings. The situation is, unchanged. pare demand light, stocks — Europe leavier than estimates and own growing crop protected by snow. All this “tome to restrict speculation, and withoutit we cannot have muchif any advance. Receipts at interior points are light, which about offsets the light exports. For the near future we look for narrow fluctuations with a good trading market for moderate profits. Corn stronger on lighter receipts. We believe re- ceipts will increase and prices go some lower. In Oats very little doing. May closed at 315ec. The provision market ruled auiet and closed weak at inside prices. Packers were moderate sellers. Heavy receipts of hogs at country points influences some outside selling. ‘The priucipal buying was on ts for to-morrow are: local account. Estimated recel Wheat, cars; Oats, 145 cars. F. G.

The Business So Extensive as to Call for an Investigation. New Yor«, Jan. 5.—Art circles are excited just now because of the novel method of in- quiry for smuggled paintings. The customs authorities, acting under instructions from Secretary Foster, are making a thorough canvass of the collections of high art dealers and collectors and asking the date of impor- tation and amount of duty paid on imported masterpieces. The vast numbers of these treasures that have been smuggled into the country have surprised the Inspectors. The investigation is not confined to New York, but all the art centers of the 8 are un- der surveillance. The agents are still looking for Col.

THE CHAMPION EXPLAINS HIS TROUBLE WITH JACK BARNITT. John L. Claims That Slavin Fears Him— Kilrain Thinks the Amsrican a Sure Winner if the Pair Meet—Completing the Annihilation of Garfield Park— Sporting News in General. Since his return from Australia John L. Sullivan has been much talked about and many alleged interviews have been printed, says a San Francisco telegram. In the face of the many stories afloatthe Boston cham- pion bas submitted toa long interview at Portland, in which he defends himself from the attacks and repliestothecritics. Inthe interview he says: ‘‘Isuppose you have an idea that I am a very hard man to get any- thing out of, but Itrust you will find out to the contrary. There are several papers to whom I will not say anything, butitis solely on account of the way I have been treated by them. ‘*Take that string of stuff printed about my whiskers, for instance. When I left Aus- tralia I said to Harrison that I was not going to sha ve any more, but would let my beard grow. Itcame out for a week, but was so white on the sides of the chin that I went down to the barber and had him trim them down diagonally from the corners of my mouth, and that is the way they were when I arrived in San Francisco. The story about my alleged Sausalito row with Jack Ashton was made entirely out of the whole cloth, as Jack himself can testify. Wenever had any sort of a row, and are the best of friends. The story was a malicious one, and was sent all over the country with the intention of doing me damage, but it will notinthe least, lam sure, for when I get East among my good newspaper friends the truth will come out. Iused to vo down to the foot-lights and answer their stuff, but the odds were too much against me. Now, about Jack Barnitt. He is a man who did not put a dollar into the show, but was givena quarter interest, the same as Harrison, while lheld the balance. To hear him talk a stranger would get an idea that he owned the whole business. It was a continual ‘I have done so,’ ‘We did, etc.’ until 1 got disgusted, Then again he handled all the money, but never havel had an itemized statement of how we stood. When we arrived in California from Australia he told me that I owed him $547 for money I had borrowed, and that the proceeds from our trip was to me $94. **That settled it and Itold Harrison that I was going to quit. Barnitt isa man I have taken care of for the past four years, and given a quarter interest in our show for — ee and that is the way he shows his preciation. I suppose you know that 8 vin’s backer is reported to have gone back on him. Now, I don't believe he ever had any — great amount of backing. I imagine my good friend, Chariie Johnston, is pushing him a little hard, and he made up a fake. He and Charlie Mitchell are two very smooth men, indeed. The latter never can stop Corbett in six rounds, and the match would surely be a draw. T hey are too clever a couple to do each other much damage in that shorttime. Maher’s reputation in New York is due a great deal to his being an Irishman, limagine, asthe men he has met so far are dechiedly ‘pack numbers. There is one — about which I have not been treated right,and that is the way I have been credited with sprees. iflask you into a saloon to have a drink with me the story becomes magnified by some one who sees me until it is fifty, and lam on a tear. I know I am no angel, but 1 want my just deserts.’’ SLAVIN AND MITCHELL IN CHICAGO. It appears that while Charley Johnston and Arthur Lumley were in New York yesterday, waiting for Slavin and Mitchell to cover the $2,500 forfeit that had been posted for Sul - livan, the Australian and his English side. partner were in Chicago, having arrived there in the morning after quietly slippin outof New York. They went to the Oity o Wind to accept a theatrical engage ment and also, probably, to avoid the discomfiture of not being able to cover Sulu van's deposit. backers that the So far the Ame been 2 1 on perfume his stake, 16 Mitchell did be bring! —— pad $100 O00 ace en ea oe r n r J N event of the match this evening at his hotel. He said of the Portland, (Ore.) aispatch about Sullivan and Slavin: “hy am pleased to see that Sullivan has settled down to business and that he is ready to make a match with Slavin, for 1 thought that Slavin would get ‘away from this country without a match. That would be a disgrace to American fighters. To —＋⏑ Bee who comes to this country looking for championship honors to get away without accommodation would not be charac- teristic of America’s champion. John L. Sullivan has proved himself champion so — 174 times that he has only to meet Slavin and champion still.’’ PUGILISTIC POINTERS. Billy Baker, the Buffalo (N.Y.) pugilist,who was terribly ‘assaulted while protecting an innocent female from the persecutions of a bold bad gang of rufflans, is reported to be dying. Don Eagan. the Montana Kid, arrived there yesterday, looking for a match with him. When he ascertained Baker’s condition he of course gave up all hopes of securing a fight. Austin Gibbons has issued a challenge offering to meet either Jack McAuliffe or Billy Myer for an outside stake of any amount and the $5,000 purse which the Olympic Club of New Orleans will hang up. Gibbons states that he would prefer to meet Myer and then settie conclusions with McAuliffe, who at present hold the light-weight championship. THE TURF. CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—The recent action of the West Park police in driving the Garfield racers to the inner track just before the clos- ing of the driving park, promises to bea precedent that will wipe out that track, even if Alderman Kenny’s gambling ordinance proves abortive undera statutory proviso. The jurisdiction of the police within 400 feet ofa boulevard was accepted by the manage- ment, and with the passage ofan order last night a boulevard will extend east and west right across the center of the park. It is proposed to cut Jackson street through from Fortieth to Forty-eighth streets. When this street is opened it is the intention to turn it Over tothe Park Commissioners as a boule- vard. The extension of other streets will cut the old Garfield Park grounds into pieces. THR OUTLOOK FOR RACING IN THE EAST. The new year opens with every promise of a season of unequaled bDrilliancy and pros- perity on the turf, says a New York writer. Of course, the war between thetwo factions that at present separates racing into two dis- tinct classes is not encouraging, but the ef- fects of this war will not be felt to any extent by race followers, however embarrassing they may be to the professional horsemen. None but the most pessimistic fear that rac- ing itself will suffer or that the American thoroughbred will become degenerate. No; the sport will not only make more rapid strides as a pastime for all classes, but pride in race horses is growing; the values of stakes are greater thanever, and theclass of horses that will be seen during 1892 will probably be, asa whole, abovethe average of any year. What will be the condition of racingin New Jersey no one Can foretell. A pool bill would settle ths question whether Monmouth Park would open its gates again and the fate of the New Jersey Jockey Club and the Linden Park Blood Horse Association, but the outlook for such a bill to be passed is not very bright. The Hudson County Jockey Club will proba- bly hold racing indefinitely at Guttenburg, but the sport will lose much of Its attractive- ness after to-day, and, shouldthe hilltop managers attempt to run in opposition to any of the larger racing associations, the result can not other than disastrous to them. As farascan be seen at present it looks as if the calendar for 1892 would see the following arrangements of dates: Gutten- berg. Jan. 1 to May 15; Brooklyn Jockey Club, 11 16 to June 1; New York Jockey Club, June 1 to 15; Coney island Jockey Club, June 16 to July 2;Monmouth Park Racing Association, July 4, followed by the New York Jockey Club, Coney Island Jockey Club and Brooklyn Jockey Club, filling dates to Oct. 15. The op- 8338 will probably hold a June meetin —. uffalo, a July meeting at Saratoga, an August meeting at Brighton Beach. 80 there Will be plenty of racing in 1892. SOUTH SIDE PARK RESULTS.

BASE BALL. The option the Wagner Brothers had on the Washington team is said to have expired yesterday. The question of who will con- trol the club next year is still in doubt.

N were distributed. „None of it wih y good, said he. „Mr. Phelps and I distributed the men as we thought Dest and that settles it.’ Manager Pat Powers of the New York team, speaking of the Fort Pittsburg is now mak- ing to secure Denny Lyons, who, go it is claimed, is under contract to play in Gotham, said: ‘*Pittsbur can secure Lyons on one consideration, that they allow the New ‘York team whatever claim they have on Catcher Charley Farrell.
