Helpless Inmates Awakened at Midnight to Find Themselves Surrounded by Fiames—Many Leap From the Win- dows to Certain Death—Prompt Work of Rescuers Saves Numerous Lives— Noble Instances of Self-Sacrifice—List of Casualties, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 22.—At least nine- teen dead and a score or more of injured, most of them fatally,is the result of a fire in the Indiana Surgical Institute at this place last night. Thus far sixteen bodies have been taken from the ruins and it is more than likely that the remains of many move of the inmates of the institution are buried under the charred timbers. It i impossible at this writing to secure the names ofali the dead, as most of the bodies that Nave been taken out so far are Durned beyond recognition. A terrible responsibility rests upon the Owners of the Institute. It was a veritable death trap. The halls were narrow and there were no proper exits to be used in case of fire. The surgical institute, a large four-story brick butlamg, was located atthe corner of south Unnots and Georgia streets, frontage of 100 feet on Liligois street and 150 feet on Georgia street. “Immediately in the rear was another four-story building. which contained the offices and dining-rooms, while onthe third and fourth floors were wards A, Band C, devoted to the care of womer and children. The fire was discov- ered at midnight and three alarms brought out the entire department. a When the Fire Department arrived the windows were full of screaming, moaning cripples, and the scene was a horror. The work of rescue was begunat once with lad- dersand the inmates were removed with great rapidity. N LEAPS TO DEATA. Without waiting for ladders to run up, the desperate inmates Jumped from the windows or huddled together upon the fre escapes, but the names cut off this descent at the second story and here they threw them selve to the ground. Mrs. Gale ot Madison, this State, jumpedfrom the third story Window witha chjld in her arms and was fatally hurt, but the child escaped infury. Miss Nellie Mason of Walworth County, Wis., also Jumped from a third story window and was 60 badly bruised that she will dle. All who jumped from the fire escape and from the windows were placed in ambulances and taken to the city hospital. By this time a large crowd of citizens had assembled, and many of them, disregarding the danger, rushed intothe bullding and passed through the smoke and flames from room to room in the work of rescue. The children were brought out into the cold atr without any- thing around them, but adjoining blocks were thrown open to them, ana they were made as comfortable as possible considering thelr number and the hurried manner of their arrival. PROMPT RESCUE. For an hour the police and firemen went from room to room, ran up Adders where it was impossible to enter from the halis and continued the work of rescue. A fireman wouldentera room and hand out three or jour of the little ones toother firemen upon the ladder, and many citizens came out from the bullding carrying three or four children on thelr backs and in thelr arms. |. M. Rice of Cincinnati, Vice-President of the Duckworth Club, rescued many of the in- mates,andon one occasion brought out a woman and four children, the former in his arms and the latter clinging to his arms and back. The scenes about the burning bullding were heartrending in the extreme. Many of the children were attended by their mothers who were boarding at the institute, and these were nearly frantic with fear when they were discovered. One lady refused to leave the ward till her child had been carried nd a policeman had to drag her from the lier child had been taken jout, and | she found it in an adjoining block the on from grief to joy was so sudden Jal she seemed like one deranged.

It was only about a week ago, however, that his health became such as to seriousiy alarm his family and friends, though it was not expected that any fatal results would follow so soon as they did.

Bradley was born in Berne, Al- County, N. T., March 14, 1813. He was of English descent, his earliest ancestors in the United States being Francis Bradley, a member of Gov. Eaton’s family in New Haven, Conn., in 1630, Joseph's father was a farmer, but hada library containing histori- caland matbematical works. Joseph was the eldest of eleven children and worked on the farm until he reached the age of 16. His opportunities for obtaining an education consisted principally in hig attendance three or four months in each year at. a country school when he was between the ages of 5 and 14, but he made constant use of his father’s library and kis attainments must have been considerable. He taught a count school every winter from his 16th year till his 2ist. His love of study attracted the attention of the village clergyman, who offered to prepare him for college. He according! entered Rutgers and was duated in 1836, being un- usually distinguished in mathematics.. In 1889 he was admitted to the bar and in 1840 opened an ce in Newark, N. J., where he continued to practice until his appoint- ment to the supreme bench thirty years after. He was remarkably successful in his profes: sional career.

New YorK, Jan. 22.—There was an exciting scene on train No, 44 of the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Railway during the last run made by Conductor James Van Nostrand, Van Nostrand’s train left Jamaica at 7:28 Pp. m. Just as the train started out he com- plained to Brakeman Valentine of. severe pains in hig head. Before starting through the train totake up tickets he announced to | Valentine that he intended to send the train to eternal smash and then kill himself. The brakeman followed him through the train. When about half way through Van Nostrand became greatly excited and began te abuse the passengers. He collected all the tickets, all the while mumbling to himself that the train must be wrecked. Van Nostrand attempted to step out on the rear platform of the last car, but the brake- man, who had followed him all the way — suaded him to return to the caboose. There Van Nostrand closed the door and soundly berated Valentine for insubordination. He accused Valentine of trying to have him dis- charged and spying upon his movements. Valentine quieted him as much as possible. When the train passed Queens Van Nos- trand stepped tothe sliding door in the side of the caboose and, pushing it open, at- tempted to jump from the moving train. Valentine, who had kept close to him, quickly seized him and threw him upon the floor. Then commenced a furious struggle, which lasted twenty minutes until the train reached Mineola. Van Nostrand is a medium-sized, Slightly built man and not very strong, but under the tremenduous excitement of his iliness he displayed wonderful strength. He jumped to nis feet, and before Valentine could close the door he grabbed him by the neck and attempted to choke him, Valen- tine, who is a tall, strong young man, wrestied with him. Again and again they fell to the floor. Van Nostrand forced Vaientine against the side of thecar. Once while the fight was at its height Van Nostrand succeeded in loosening Valentine’s hold.and sprang to the door, but Valentine was upon him in a minute and, catching him about the waist clung to him with an energy born of desperation, until the train arrived at Mineola, when his posi- tion was discovered by one of the passengers and a number of gentlemen came to his aid. The conductor was carefully watched over until the train arriv in the city when he _— — to the hospital. He Is recovering slowly. CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Minister Montt Suggests That Egan Be Recalled. HARRISON DETERMINED TO STAND BY HIS REPRESENTATIVE. No Change Will Be Made Now—Full Text of the “Offensive Note“ Written by the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs — The President Finds New Friends— Possible Arbitration. : WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 22.—The latest phase of the Chiuan question is the reported request of the Ohillian Government for the recall of the representative of the United States in that country, Minister Patrick Egan. It ean hardly be said that a request for Egan’s recall has been made. is no doubt that a suggestion of this tenor has been made to Mr. Blaine by Minister Montt. Just what the ultimate design Chili has in making this move can. only be conjectured. It is possible that knowing Mr. Eagan’s un- popularity in the United States it has put forth the suggestion through Senor Montt, hoping that public sentiment would force President Harrison to adopt it. This being done sixty or ninety days would necessarily elapse before his successor could reach San- tla go, and thus a delay of several months in the settlement of the Valparaiso Incident might be effected. This is the only reason- able theory so far advanced. It can be said that under no circumstances will Mr. Egan be recalled while the relations between the United States and Chili are strained as at present. President Harrison is entirely satisfied with Mr. Egan’s course as our representative and has stated this repeatedly in private conversation. 7 It is said that at the Cabinet meeting to- day it was practically decided to submit the matter to Congress early next week in order that Congress as country at large exact status e between this country and Chill. a course would not in itself indicate the termination of diplomatic negotiations for the settlement of the matter in dispute, it will give the public through Congress an oppor- unity to determine which country is respon- — for the present unsettled state of af - airs. It is expected by naval officials that the Yorktown will and the Chilian refugees at Oallao either to-morrow night or Sunday. While no orders have yet n given to that effect it is more than prob- able that the Yorktown will return to Valparaiso without delay. The Boston is also at Callao and could be sent to Valpa- raiso if necessary in place of or with the Yorktown, but it is generally assumed that the latter vessel ealy will be sent mere. HARRISON’S FRIENDS. ONE OF THE PECULIAR PHASES OF THE CHILIAN, CONTROVERSY. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.—A Southern Congressman calls attention to one peculiar phase of the Chillan controversy. This is that President Harrison has counseled more with Democratic Congressmen from the South with regard to his course than with his Republican friends. proceeded largely from necessity. He has no friends on the Republican side of the House. The leaders there are ali opposed to him, and in this business all suspect him of self-seeking. Reed hates the President fully as much as he does Mr. Blaine. No Demo- crat would regret more sorely seeing the President re-elected than would the ex- Speaker. Mr. Boutelle shares in his col- league’s feeling on this subdject. Mr. Bur- rows is a Blaine man, and is thought to be in sympathy with Mr. Blaine’s * of further forbearance with Chili. The Presi- dent could hope nothing from these men, and so has not consulted them. But when Mr. Harrison turned to the other side of the chamber of National Representa- tives he found men peculiarly susceptible by force of circumstances to the argument he was using. The leaders fromthe South are all ex-Confederates and all men of generous sentiments and high courage. They have chafed for years under the partisan cam- paign taunt that they are not at heart loyal to the Government. A war witha foreign power would be their opportunity, and give them a chance to wipe out forever the stains which still clingto their section, the legacy of the rebellion. 80 it ‘Is that war prospects, based upon 2 ey. make strange bed-feliows. While in Congress alone is vested the power to declare war, the President, may, by an adroit use of his opportunity, force to some extent the band of gress. By setting the case strongly and playing to the galleries, he may be able to arouse a belligerent sentiment throughout the .country that Congress will feel bound to respect. when MATTA’S OFFENSIVE NOTE. THE PROPOSITION FOR THE WITHDRAWAL MADE BY CHILI. N New Tonk, Jan. 2. — The full text of the note from Senor Matta, who wasat the time the document was written (Dec. U, 1891), Chililan Minister of Foreign Affairs to Senor Pedro Montt, Chili Minister to the United States, is published this morning. It is com- monly referred to as Matta’s insulting note, and a copy of it was sent to Chili’s represen- tative at every capital in Europe. It has been frequently referred to, but has not hitherto been givento the press. It reads as follows: 8 acquainted with the re message of the said ‘re Bat there This, itis true, has’ interos aud the Calve companies are proof ot tie deliberately merican were attacked — e known yet who are E Ts Wa he copy sent to the C re n this coantry should be with wn action would be taken with regard to those sent the Chillan representatives in other countries. POSSIBLE ARBITRATION, CHILI MAY ASK FOR MEDIATON IN THE MATTER IN DISPUTE. SANTIAGO, Chill, Jan. 22.—The Chilian For- eign office is authority for the statement that when within the coming week the entire pe- pers in the Baltimore case are in the posses- sion of the Chilian Government it will submit its views and ideas to the United States Gov- ernment. Then if the two Governments can- not come to an agreement among them selves, arbitration will be asked by Chili on the question in dispute. Secretary Boscunan, who has done every- thing possible to prevent a rupture of the re- lations between Chiliand the United States, says that from advices sent from Minister Pedro Montt it can be asserted positively that matters between the two tries are m an extremely fairgway.

CHILIANS BELIEVE THE UNITED STATES SEEKING A WAR. NRW Ton, Jan. 22.—Correspondence from Santiago, under date of Dec. 23 gives color of truth to reports from Chilian cities, received daily by cable, of the intense hatred which the people have for all Americans. The writer says: ' ; The presence of the Baltimore in Valpar- aiso harbor for three months following the war is spoken of by the Chillans as a menace. The attacks upon the Baltimore sailors by the mob and the police is spoken of every- where as a ‘‘drunken row,’’ and Capt. Schley is charged with having made gross exagerations in his report to the Navy De- ment. Minister Bgan is accused of har- criminals rogues and "as the merican 9 0 American on their and American Government and the whole a can people are said to be ota wicked desire to make war upon Chill and humiliate her before all the other South American Republics.

won * a patch’ Fund Growing ina Most Grati- fying Manner—Distributions of the Provident Association. One night, cold and raw, James R. Yeat- man, the Vice-President of the Merchants’ National Bank, came home about dark and saw his wife dismissing a woman who had been beging, having Milled ber a basket of food and given her a bundle of clothing and some money. The woman was going away with geet thanks, and, Mr. Yeatman, catching @ glimpse of her sad face, was touched. „„What was it?’’ he asked his wife, as he removed his overcoat. Mrs. Yeatman said the woman had tada her that her house was cold and dark and with- out food. She hada baby dying and she had asked only for candies that she might have light in the room when she was watching and praying for the little one struggling with death. Mr. Yeatman was as much affected as his wife had been. He ate his supper witha troubled mind and when ‘he got up he put on his overcoat again. Where are you going?’’ his wife asked. 'm going to get a doctor and go down to ‘gee that woman, responded the kind- ‘hearted cotton factor. This was thirty-one ‘years ago, you see, when Mr. Yeatman was laying the foundation of his fortune and there were no charitable associations in the ‘City. He walked over to the house of Dr. Charles A. Pope, who was then one of the ,jeading physicians~ of the city and told him the story ot the woman and her dying child. Dr. ‘Pope was himself a most generous man. **We will go to her, **$a10 he. The two got the doctor’s buggy, and drove to the address given Mrs. Yeatman by the woman. The rooms were brightly lighted, ‘and when the door was opened to the knock of the visitors they saw a large room warmed by a glowing fire. Several meh and women sat around it, talking, laughing and smokiag, and three or four children played about. Mr. Yeatman was amazed. Imposition had been far from his thoughts. Not so with the doctor. We have come to see that sick child of yours, madam,’’ said he sternly to the oldest woman, who had risen, She was taken aback, but tried to recover herself. Picking up the smallest child, she held the Uttie boy up. ‘‘This is the one that was sick,’’ she said. ‘‘He’s getting a little better now. ORGANIZED THE PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION. The eye of the experienced doctor glanced rapidly over the heaithy little chap, who was Auen rightened by the inspection and had to whimper. ‘‘Wash the child, madam,’’ said he. Come, Yeatman,’’ and foe both left the house. The next day Mr. Yeatman saw some of his friends and they agreed that to prevent im- position they must have applications for charity investigated before responding with aid, Then they organized the Provident Association, and Mr. Yeat- man has been connected with it ever since, in one official capacity or another. He is now the Treasurer. The association has done an immense amount of good ip amelior- ating the condition of the poor, and many eee J A oF of the city give charity only throug .

A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL CASES OF DESTITU- TION REPORTED. The police reports show that there is a great amount of destitution in the city. New cases are being reported by the score. As it frequentiy happens, however, that a case which at first seems most sad and deserving, turns out on fuller examination to be un- worthy of aid, the location of the cases re- ported are withheld, so that they can be thoroughly investigated before people are asked to contribute toward them. Uther- wise charity may be misplaced. People are freauentiy affected by an ap mtly sad case, and send in contributions for that r- ticular family who, on further investigation may ve unworthy of aid. in this way money which might be used in alleviating the sufferings of deserving people is fre- quently given to those who are unworthy. Mrs. te Riedemyer, a widow, is living with her five small children in very ‘destitute circumstances. She is paralyzed on her right side and can earn very little to support her- selfand children. Her oldest cha, a boy 12 years of age, is earning a week in a factory — he is the only support of the large ears of age, Green Hurd, an American 4 very sick. was found by the police Tuesda Hie was living with his wife and six chiidren.

His sickly ite and six children are now in destitute circumstances withouta morsel of food in the house, ana being without fuel are suffering atly. The police Tuesday evening found Henry Bell, a colored man, his wife and seven children living in extreme destitu- tion and suffering with hunger. Bell had his foot crushed about five weeks ago, and has not been able to leave his home since then. Mrs. Hannah Mahoney, a widow, 50 years ofage,is nursing her sick son, who is 2% years of age. She is in destitute circu stances and in need of food for herself and son. Mrs. Annie Olmer. 46 years of age, who was deserted by her husband, was found living in destitate circumstances.

Armstrong, in his suit against the Duke of Orleans for alfenating the affec- tions of Mrs. Armstrong, better known as the famous soprano, Mme. Melba, have an- swered the last pleadings of the Duke’s law- vers, tothe effect that Capt. Armstrong had no domicile m England. Capt. Armstrong admits having been born im Ireland, but as- serts that England is the country of his resi- dence. With this last objection brushed aside it is beileved that the Duke will now be compelled to come to trial, an issue which he has been very anxious to avoid. Armstrong is prepared to prove that the young Prince, who would be heir apparent to throne of France if his father reigned, has followed Mme. Melba with his attentions from capital to capital throughout Europe while the Cap- taln was away in Australia attending to his business. He will also claim that the Duke succeeded in overcoming the Madame’s wifely scruples and that he was recognized as her devoted lover.

LEAPED TO DEATH, DEFENDANT IN THE MORBID MELANCHOLIA DRIVES A COTTON BRO- KER TO SUICIDE, LONDON, Jan. 22.—A dispatch from Liver- pool, received here this morning, says that Wm, Jones, a cotton broker well known on the Cotton Exchange as well as in business circles in that city, committed suicide early this morning by jumping from an upper win- dow of his residence on Old Hall street. His neck and both legs were broken, and besides serious internal injuries were inflicted by the fall. He died almost immediately. His friends here and in Liverpool are ata loss to account for the suicide of Mr. Jones, as he was regarded in business as well as social circles as a good-natured. and prosperous man.

There promises to be a Probate Court fight made over pretty Cizzie M&tzger, the 15-year- ola girl who disappeased from her home, 1719 south Eighth street, on Wednesday night of last week, and who has not been seen since py her parents. The fight also promises to be a peculiar three-cornered affair, owing to the belief ,of the Metzger that Lizzie is being kept hidden from them by the family of Mr, Elbridge G. Newell, the Main street broker, who lives at No. 1110 pillon street, and in whose house Lizzie Metzger wasonce employed asa domestic, andthat the Woman’s Humane Society is aiding the Newells in keeping the girl's whereabouts a mystery. This new and interesting phase of the ais- appearance case developed this morning when Louts Metzger, brother of the missing girl, applied to Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes at the Four Oourts for a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Newell on the charge of unlawfully keeping a child from its lawful guardians. such a warrant was of course refused, Mr. Dierkes telling the father that the proper and only course to pursue was to apply to the Circult Court for a writ of habeas corpus, with which he could regain possession of his daughter. It will be remembered that fol- lowing Lizzie Metzger’s disappearance from home last week, her father reported the case to the police as that of his daughter, Miss- ing from home, and at that time he did not know where she was. Last Saturday, it 1s stated, Metzger learned that the Erl was in charge of the Woman's Humane society, and he went to the soclety’s office atsi4 Chestnut street, and made a deman for her. His demand was met by arefusal on the part of Agent Welsh to give him any in- formation as to his daughter’s whereabouts, the father states, and he then announced fils of the case he had refused to take the „ falling to find that she at home e Woman's Hu- interfere in the Later this afternoon it was stated that Liz- zie Metzger was now underthe char of a distant relative of the Metzger family.

THE PRESIDENT ADROITLY STEALS SOME DEMOCRATIC THUNDER, England to Be Asked to Take the Initiative in Restoring Bimetalism—Iastructions Dispatched to Minister Lincoln—Indi- auh State Committee All for Harrison’s Renomination—Political News. 0 New Ton, Jan. 22.—A Washington specia says that Minister Lincoln has been in- structed to invite Great Britain to join in an international conference on the silver ques- tion, ff, in his opinion, the English Cabinet is such as to justify the investigation. The dissemination of this news about the capitol to-day caused great gratification among the silver men, although some of them expressed regret that the invitation was not to be ex- tended directly. The instructions to Minister Lincoln were dispatched by direction of the President about ten daysago, after the dis- closure of the purpose of the Democratic leaders in Congress to make the plan for an international conference a measure of party policy. Senator Teller of Colorado was called into conference with the President and other leaders and anticipated in a measure the Democratic programme by introducing his resolution of Jan. 11, expressing the opinion of Congress in favor ofa conference. The action of the administration may have been hurried a little by the disclosure of the Dem- ocratic programme, but it was a purpose which the President had had in mind all sum- mer. He has often said to Senators and Representatives who have called upon him that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to see stflver restored during his admin- instration toits positionasa money metal, but that he wanted to restore it in such a way as to secure ah honest bimetalism and not silver monometalism. The letter of instructions to Minister Lin- coln was dispatched fromthe State Depart- ment, but the facts embodied in it were prepared by Secretary Foster. Secretary Biaine, with the assistance of Secretary Foster, was able to tell Minister Lincoln of 1 OOTWEAR 2 Mh 0 Weite ; 2 ; 7 j E PROPER THING PAT. CALF, CORDOVAN, CALF KANGAROO.

AT THE METZGERS’ HOME. rhe Metzger 1 were Visited by a Post- DisvaTcCu reporter this morning on hearing of the new developments likely to carry the case intothe Circuit and Probate Oourts, as that of a child claiming to be mistreated by her parents,and seeking other guardianship. Louls Metzger is a tallor, Uving up stairs over 1719 South Eighth street, andthe family is evidently a hard-working and respectable one. Mrs. Metzger, a pleasant looking woman, was first seen. She was surrounded by her four children, who evinced the deepest interest in the talk about Liz- vie,’’ and the mother being unable to under- stand English well, told her stor through the assistance of her 10-year ol daughter, who proved a clever little Anglo- German interpreter. My husband has gone tothe Four Courts, said Mrs. Metgger, to get a warrant to bring Lizzie back to us. We have round out where she is. We learned that she went to the house of a Mrs. Newell at 1110 Dillon street, where she worked until about six months ago, and we belleve she is still there, and that they are hiding her from us. My husband went there as soon as he learned that Lizzie had gone to them, but when he asked for Lizzie the serv- ant girl told him that Lizzie was not there, do there was nothing to do but go to the Four Courts and try to get her through the police. It does seem as if we ought to be able to get our own daughter, who has run away from home without any good cause. The mother then told the story of her daughter’s disappearance and subsequent reappearance under the protection of the Woman's Humane Soclety and Mrs. Newell. WHY SHE RAN AWAY. **Ligzie is only 15 years old, said she, and isa pretty girl. For some time past she has beenempioyedatthe Birdsaye & McCor- mick cotton mill on Menard, between Soulard and Lafayette streets. Lately we heard that she had been going with a young man whom we did not know, and her father spoke to her to collect Suit to Callect Legacies. Francis Nohl filed a bill of equity to-day against Charles Berthold, Catharine Ber- thold, Louis Kleis, Charles Argast and Theodore F. W. Zimmermann, admin- istrator of Sebastian Argast, seeking $600, the amount of two legacies under the will of Sebastian Argast, which Nohl alleges were assigned to him. The petition alleges that legacies were left to Catharine Berthold,wife of Charies Berthold, and Louis Kleis. A Positive Luxury, And yet how cheap.

Deputy Coroner Meade closed the inquest this morning in the famous De Gear tragedy and rendered a verdict saying Chas. De Gear, alias La Rose, committed suicide by shoot- ing himselfthrough the breast at his home 2841 Franklin avenue, three weeks ago. Gear, whose proper name was La Rose, was amantel setter and tile worker, De who lived with his wife at No. 2841 Franklin avenue. He was laid injuries, on Jan, 5 shots heard in the Mrs. De ran out ot the house bleeding from a bullet wound in her cheek, anda few minutes later the dead body of DeGear with three bullet holes in his body under the left nipple was in his room. Mrs. DeGear taken to the Muilanphy Hos.- ital, and was released rom that nstitution only yesterday. She appea. ed at found dead the Coroner’s office and ve her testimony, which closed the case. It had been claimed that some outside party must have shot them both, but the evidence convinced the jury it was a case of suicide. Mrs. DeGear and were Gear Northcote and to suggest that he test the temper of the English government further before making formal propositions. It was suggested to dim to inquire of Chan- cellor of the Exchequer Goschen if England was not ready to make some agreement for the enlarged use of silver and if she indli- cated that she was ready to ask her if she would not accept an invitation to interna- tional conference or join in extending such an invitation. Minister Lincoln has barely received this communication from Secretary Blaine and probably has not yet actedon it. The pres- ence of representatives of the United States at an international conference does not require any action by Congress, except fora pro- vision for paying the expenses of the dele- gates, but since the matter has becomea topic of public discussion the President is not averse to an expression by Congress in favor of bi-metalism, Such an expression, coming in the midst of Minister Lincoln’s conference with the British government, might havea beneficial effect and indicate the wishes ofthe Ameri- can people in away which would have in- fluence in England and on the continent.

DANVILLE, Va., Jan. 22.—Jim Lyles and Margaret Lashley, colored, were hanged here to-day for the murder of George Lashiey, the woman’s husband, in October, 1890. Both slept peacefully last night and did not awaken until daylight. They ate a hearty breakfast and Lyles smoked a cigar, which he seemed to enjoy. At 11 o’clock they were led to the scaffold and after prayer by colored preachers and songs, in which the condemned joined, the drop fell prompt- ly at 11:82. Lyles confessed his crime and declared that he alone was responsible for crime. The woman has always pleaded her innocence and declaring that she had no hand in the murder of her husband, The ex- ecution was private and was witnessed by REAL ESTATE NEWS. Proposed Site for Merchants’ Exchange— Sales and Notes. Mr. Charles G.

The site has great advantages in point of light and ventilation for such a purpose in addition to central location. To the east of the block there is Third street with an open space of more than 200 feet. On the south Washington avenue at that point affords an open area 100 feet wide. Fourth street is eighty feet wide and Lucas avenue fifty It is a central point lines. The Boatmen’s the largest financial institution in the city, occuples a fine large new building on the northwest corner of Fourth and Washington avenue, and on the southeast corner of the same streets the Collier Real Estate Co. is under contract to erect an eight-story building for Trorlicht & Dunker, the carpet dealers, Charles H. Gleason & Co., who represented Mr. Stifel, says all these points were care- fully considered by their client before he bought, and that he has good reason to be- lieve that the selection he has made will be approved of by the Merchants’ Fxchange people. In the entire area of the block there is a square foot frontage of 22,000 feet, much more space than what is occupied by the old Exchange, and the only block in the entire business center that is owned by one man.

Now, having faith and Chicago methods. ee CHICAGO’S DUPLICITY. | , Chicago has secured the National Demo- cratic Con vention and has secured with it the contempt of her sister cities and of all men who have any regard for faith and honor. * It was generally understood upon the strength of statements made by the repre- sentative men and. press of Chicago, and from the fact that no open efforts were made in her behalf, that the Windy City was out of the contest for isfied with the Columbian Exposition and city’s securing a convention. This an- nouncement was accepted as an honest avowal of Chicago’s intention, and by rea- son of it St. Louis was induced to with- draw from the contest for the Democratic Convention, for which preparations had been made, on the ground that it would be becoming in both of the leading cities of the West, having been favored with the convention several times, ta permit one of the smaller cities to win the prize this year. we The withdrawal of St. Louis was made in good faith. Not only did we cease from all endeavor to secure the convention, but heartily seconded and aided Kansas City’s efforts to win. Chicago’s professed with- drawal, on the other hand, turns out to have been a mere pretense, a trick, a blind to disfrm St. Louis, the only competitor she feared, and to make her victory by underhand methods easier and more certairl. She used the faith of other cities in her word as a trap by which to defeat them. This sample of Chicago’s duplicity and faithlessnese is of a piece with that through which by means of false statements and deceitful pledges she gained the World’s Fair and now seeks to throw all theexpenses upon the Government and place all the profits in her own pockets. The representatives of the cities duped by Chicago will bear her conduct in mind when her prayers for aid are considered by Congress. St. Louis has come out of this dirty deal with honor only, but, although the value of this is not recognized in Chicago, which acts upon the rule of getting all she can by hook or crook, it is worth more in the end than a convention. ZIEGENHEIN’S CONFESSION. The examination of the City Collector’s records is no longer necessary to prove the truth of the Post-DiIsPatTcH’s charge that Czar ZIEGENHEIN has permitted a large number of saloon-keepers to run their saloons in violation of the law and cheat the city out ofits revenue. It was fully proved when the Collector’s deputies went into the police courts yesterday and made forty cases against delinquent saloon- keepers. When the Post-DisPATCH attempted to obtain official information concerning saloon licenses ZIEGENHEIN assumed the attitude of a Czarand refused to allow the records of his office to be inspected. He treated the evidence outside of the records with contempt and sneered at the right of the people to know how one of their offices was conducted. The Council resolution to investigate his office wrought a sudden change in his czarship. He has descended from his pedestal with ludicrous haste and is now scrambling with panic-stricken eagerness to straighten his records so that they will bear official inspection. His conduct is a confession of wrong- doing. It is a complete vindication of the Post-DIsPATCH’s crusade against the un- licensed saloons and a convincing proof of the truth of its charges against the Ziegenhein administration of the Collec- tor’s office with reference to the protection of law-breaking saloon-keepers. No mat- ter what may be the result of the Council investigation the city will reap substan- tial benefitin the form of revenue due it but uncollected.

A Perpetual Injunction Against Grant- mg a Dramshop License Ignored. — ‘THE LICENSE PETITION BEPORTED BY ‘ZIEGENHIEN AS “LOST.” How Graff’s Saloon at No. 4100 Olive Street Was Established in the Face of an Injunction Issued by Judge With- row—Its License Was Granted and Ztegenliein Then Withheld the Record From Protesting Tax-Payers. The Council investigation of the dramshop license department of City Collector Ziegen- hein’s office promises to be peculiarity inter- esting and significant. Especially to certain great numbers of reputable, tax-paying citi- zens of St. Louis will the investigation be full of interest because itis afact thatso far Czar Ziegenhein has succeededin keeping the records hermetically sealed from the public eye. With dramshiop license petitions **boxed up and stored away in the cellar,’’ and with Collector Ziegenhein refusing to give out any figures of the work ofthat department, in- trenching himself betiind a city ordinance, which tn reality had no bearing on the case in point, it has heretofome been a hopeless task to obtain any official data upon which to judge Czar Ziegenhein’s administration of the affairs of that department. The Council investigation promises to beat down Coilec- tor Ziegenhein’s autocratic objection to giv- Pn out those factsand figures which right- fully belong to th® public, aud it is for that reason the public is now so deeply interested in the Council investigation. The PostT-DISPATCH forced the issue on this vestion with Czar Ziegenhein. It forced that official mto a position, ‘where, with neither law nor precedent to sustain him, the Collector has only demonstrated the fact that for some reason he dreads any pub- licity being made of his management of the public duty of collecting the liquor licenses due the city of St. Louis. But the Posr- Dis- PATCH was not alone in its efforts to secure dramshop license figures from Czar Ziégen- hein. Certain citizens of St. Louis Dave put forth similar efforts and there are some strangeand significant incidents connected with those attempts, all ot which were well within the rights of citizensto make. The story of one instance of this nature will prove somewhat startling to the public awaiting the result of the Council investiga- tion. A DISREGARDED INJUNOCTIION. There is a saloon now — business in St. Louis over which — vainly the forbidding one of a perpetual injunction, issued by udge Withrow ofthe Circuit Court. The in- junction was issued on proof that the pe- tition for a chen poe § license to be issued to the proprietor of that saloon fell far short of the necessary number of signatures to war- rantthe granting of a license. Yet, in the very face of the ifjunction the license was issued. Curious to see the petition upon which the Collector's contempt for the Cir- cuit Court was thus shown, demand was made upon Czar Ziegenhein to produce that official document. o this demand the fol- lowing remarkable reply was made: The petition has been lost, said Czar Ziegenhein calmly. It has been misilaid in some way. But it was all right, and the saloon will keep open. The saloon has kept open for three years now, and if, durin« those three years it has regularly, each July, filed a new petition for a renewal of its license the majority of as- sessed tax-payers of the block wherein the omen is situated have no knowledge of that act. The saloon in questionis that kept by John L. Graff, and located at No. 4100 Olive street. There is nothing to be said against the saloon except that a large majority of the tax-pay- ing citizens of that block did not want it there, and that therefore it could not have been fegally established there. The pétition for its license was filed Feb. 21, 1889, and pur rted to be signed by nineteen tax: payers of hat block, which then contained at most thirty ass tax-payers. The op ents of the saloon established the fact that not twelve signers of the petition were assessed tax payers of that c ity block, No. 3911, and they therefore protested a ainst the granting of the license. This ition of affairs was reached during the last days of the occupancy of the Collector's office Dy Sexton. Fearing that the would be issued, despite the proofs submitted to the Collector that the petition was insufficient, the protesting citizens of that block applied to Judge, Withrow for an injunction forbidding the license to be issued. The witmesses inthe injunction proceedings were the Tax Assessor, whose ks were put in evidence, the saloon proprietor him- self, bis bar-tender, who was one of the sianers of the petition, although living at 2218 North Market street, the protesting citizens and others. hen the evidence was all in Judge, Withrow stated that ‘‘the petition for the nse for a saloon at No. 4100 Olive street was in reality no petition,’’ and he is- sued a perpetual injunction against the issu- ance of the license unless a proper petition was flied. Collector Sexton went out of office,and Czar Ziegenhein — him. Then it was sud- denly discovered that John L. Graff had re- ceived his license to conduct a saloon at 4100 d as opposed to the uestion arose as tothe whict the license had been ance of a writ of the Circuit urt. A committee of residents of city block #911, headed by Mr. F. H. ene. calied at Collector Ziegenhein’s e and dewanded to ve shown the petition upon which a dramshop license had been issued to John L. Graff. The committee was d ed Of by Ozar Ziegenhein in short order, . The license was issued by Collector Sex- ton, said Collector I The peti- tion was all rigut.

In case No.4,I order the defendant held for the Chief accordingto secs. 336 and 338, for an inguiry,’’ said Judge Paxson to -day, and without any more adohe left the bench. The defendant was John Appelbe, and the words of Judge Paxson were the close ofa discourse upon a sad life. The unfortunate man was arrested at 20’clock this morning, for his old offense, drunk on the street. Ap- plebe was a hard drinker about ten years ago. He was a slave to the Uquor habit, and his wife despaired of his reforma- tion, but he gave up drinkand for seven years he shunned the ‘‘wine cup’s ruddy glow in which sat death, He was NFA by trade and prospered. He kept his store at 3154 Easton avenue, and plenty of money. He resided with his family in a pret- ty house on Thomas street, a short distance from the store, and the dark chapter of years gone y blotted from his life. But a yearand a half ago Appelbe again took to drink, and he has been a slave ever since. He was never in court be- cause the police knew him and took him home whenever they saw him in a maudlin con- dition. Appelbe appreciated his fallm honestly confessed that ne could not reform. He had lost all will power. He turned his business over to his wife sometime since, and she is now conducting it. Dr. T. 8. Hawley, the family physician, believed or be to be threatened with softening of the rain, and Mrs. Appelbe placed her unfor- tynate husband in St. Vincent’s Insane Asylum sometime ago. she could not afford to pay the board required, and he came out. He was arrested at2o’clock this morning and perhaps for the first time, his name appeared on the docket of the Second District Police Court. Mrs. Ap- Ibe says her husband draws a pension of D6 a quarter, and she is willing to turn this money over to the City Insane Asylum if her husband is admitted there. Thisis the best she can do, she says, forshehasa family of four little girls to sup The man will be turned over to Chief Harrigan, who will in- form the Health Commissioner. The latter official will examine into the sanity of Ap- pelbe. If he is committed the huge gates of the asylum will shut out from the world a man dead before his time. Charles Scott, another victim ofthe liquor habit, was fined $25. He beat his wife and family yesterday and in his maudlin condi- tion received severe injuries from a fall, FUNERAL OF MISS EUSTACE. The Archbishop’s Niece Laid to Rest With Simple Ceremonies. The funeral services for Miss Elizabeth Eustace, niece of Rt. Rev. Archbishop Richard Kenrick, took place at the College Church this morning.; The ceremonies were conducted Vicar-General Brady, assisted Rev. Fathers Power and Brons ° With the exception of the high requiem mass, the ceremonies were very simple. The venera- ble Archbishop was presentin the sanctuary during the services, but owing to the ad of friends and to his feeble condition did not go to the cemetery. At 9 o’clock the procession, headed Power carrying a crucifix, remains at the church door, where a few cer- emonies were gohe through. The casket was then escorted to the foot of the altar and mass begun. After mass the last rites of the church were conducted and prayers said for the dead. The church was filled with friends of the deceased, many of whom followed the remains to Oalvary Cemetery. The casket was carried by six colored men, the honorary pall-bearers being Messrs. Chas.

The Economy of the Railroad Oompanies Causing Frightéul Penalty on the FPub- lio— A Showing Which Speake Volumes „tor the Necesaity of Railroad Guards and Watchmen at Crossings. It is a claim always made by railroad of- ficials that more people are killed every year by falling out of windows than are killed by rafiroads. Such may be the fact in some localities where the railroads are guarded and the windows are not, but it certainly does not apply to St. Louis, where the rafl- | roads are scarcely guarded at all and the people seem intelligent enough not to fall out of windows with any frequency. The death roll of 1891 in the Coroner's office shows aterrible array of casualties on the various railroads coming intothe city. Peo- ple run over, no one knows how, people over- taken by locomotives and run down and people who were in the employ of the com- panies and killed while discharging their du- ties. The whole horrible list of crushing and mangling is topped off by the wholesale EM- ing at the Wabash crossing on the 19th of this month, before the new year had fair started, beginning the list with eight and possibly more people killed at one time. That nearly all the blame rests with the railroads there can be no doubt. Lax regu- lations and cheap safeguards are the causes, Watchmen kept only at places where the crossings are likely to turn up accidents which would cost more for damages than the pay of the watchman. Crossings and stationsthere are where no one is Kept to guide the people or warn them of approach- ing trains. Strangers unfamiliar with the crossings and stations must learn for them- selves or get run over, as the railroads do not care to go to the expense of Keeping watchmen and station men enough to attend to these matters. So the accidents accumulate and people are killed almost every week. The rafiroads become very active investigators until they learn that they will be able to escape respon.- sibility by legal technicalities, then they re- lapse into their careless attitude again and go on as before, adding nothing in the way of precautions. : The lists will speak for themselves and for the last six monthsin the year show a hid- eus collection of fatalities.

St. Louis Away Behind the Times iz Regard to Milk Inspection. HOW THE CIT¥ HAPPENS TO BE WITHOUT? ADEQUATE INSPECTION Laws. The Legislature Repealed a State Law Which Was Unsatisfactory in Order That the City Might Frame Its Ow, Law, but the City Has Done Nothing i, Tat Direction. St. Louis is the only first-class city in the country which bas not in force a thorougn mim inspection lew. Philadelphia, Wash. ington, New York, Boston and all the Hastory cities have brought milk inspection do a sei ence, and the work is carried on in a most thorough manner. St. Louis boasts loudly ot her sanitary regulations, boasts of her course inabating nuisances, contemplates crejya:. ing garbage, but leaves absolutely negiectog a much more vital sanitary regulation, the inspection of milk, which forms part of the daily food of 500,000 inhabitants. Mr. L. A. Steber, who was fora long time the legal representative of the St. Louis he. tail Dairymen, was interviewed on the sy». ject this morning. 1 am glad that the Post-DrsrPaTcH bas taken this matter up,” he said, when told the reporter's mission, St. Louis igs twenty years behind the times in the matter of dairy inspection. We Ought to be ashamed of ourselves: It is ai due to the inexplicable apathy of the people toward a matter that vitally concerns their health, but more particularly the healthy and proper development of thelr children. You want toknowthe inside his. tory ot our peculiar milk legislation. Wen, where shall I begin?“ The reporter asked him to explain why, with a city ordimance in force forbidding the sale of skimmed milk and providing for dairy inspection, a State law was passed contain. ing the same provisions but permitting the sale of the skimmed fluid. There you have the cause of the whole controversy,’ the lawyer replied. ‘‘skimmed milk is the whole cause of the trouble be- tween the shippers and the city dairymen. When Senator Stone was in the City Counc!! he introduced the ordinance creating a milk inspector. Mayor Francis appointed only a deputy and the office never amounted to any. thing until Dr. Sullivaa took hold under Mayor Noonan. He at once inaugurated A war on the skimmed milk dealers. Most people are ignorant of the stuff that Is sold under the deluding title of skimmed miik. in the tenement districts they deal out a bever- age called separated milk. or ‘Blue Jack.’ ’’ The reporter confessed his ignorance, and Mr. Steber explained. ‘‘At the country de- Ss, where milk is collected from the rmers for shipping tothe city, they have machines called ‘‘separators’’ operated by centrifugal force which entirely separates the fat and a good deal of the cheesy matter from the milk. This stuff which they have to color to make look like milk is shipped into town and sold at the corner groceries in the tenement districts at 10 cents a „ Thisisthe uid that the babies of the slums are fed upon. Dr. Suill- van fought against this practice and the consequence was a Dill introduced inthe State Legislature by a gentieman from J rson County, a locality that ships immense quantities or milk to this city. The bill which wasonly appli- cable to cities of 3,000 Inhabitants passed an! mea law. Dr. Sullivan proved it and ee.

LOOK AFTER REPENTANT MAGDALENE. eo, Inaugural Services Held Last Night— Epworth League Committee Appointed —Preparing for the Observance of En- deavor Day—Sodality Election of Of ficers—General Religious News. Last night was Inaugurated the most im- portant and significant departure in city missionary operations that St. Louis has seen inyears. The Spruce Street Mission held its opening services. Some time ago two st. Louls business men, on the way to New York on business, met on the train and jour- together. In New York they were invited to the famous Flor - ence Night Mission at 21 Beeker street. This is an all-night mission and rescue home, where repentant Magdalens are received and cared for, eventually. to be put in the way of earning an honest living. The following nicht the two gentlemen accompanied the missionaries who go out inthe slums every night after the services are over. The great need of similar work in this city was forcibly presented to them as it has ben to scores of others. They talked it over on the return journey and On their arrival nere went earnestiy to work and the culmi- nation of this preliminary effort was seen last night. The two gentlemen were V. 0. Saunders and Murray Carleton, and they have successfully ipaugurated a work which marks an epoch. The three-story buflding at 507 Spruce street has been rented and the first floor fitted upasachapel. Thesix rooms on the two upper floors will be furnished as soon as possibie and a matron will de pieced in charge who will be always in the building, ready to counsel and help the poor creatures whom the mission is intended to restore. Meetings will be heldevery night, and it is the intention to have a foree to go out on the streets in that locality In the nighttime. Fallen women de- ring to leave the life they lead will be harbored in the home and secured respect- able employment. The gathering in the little chapel last night was a notableone. The audience was composed almost entirely of ministers and laymen. Rev. John Mathews, D. D., pre- sided and enlivened the proceedings with come characteristically funny remarks at different stages. H. C. art was chorister and A. S. McGann presided at the organ. The preitminary devotional exercises over, the ministers present were in turn introduced end each veasbert address. The her. H. M.

B. Carradine was to have been present, but was detained dy a meeting at his church, the First Methodist. The addresses were given in the best styles of the respective pulpit Ugnts, aud each one made a profound im- pression. Mr. J. P. Green, in dwelling upon what he said he was told was his hobby, the lack af any distinction between the fallen woman and the fafien man, made some strong points and merciiessly scored the men who were re- sponsible for such sections as that in which this mission has been opened. He paid his respects to the people who would welcome to their homes and present to their Gaughters, men ny 2 life was known to be impure, asserted that in such a would as soon receive who had lost her virtue the man.

CHAMPION BY. THE NEW SCHEDULE Commissioner Osgood Urges St. Louis Merchants to Take Advantage of It. REDUCED FREIGHT RATES TO MEXICO BY THE TAMPICO ROUTE. Action Deferred by the Southwestern A ’ gooiation Until the Tampico Schedule Is Completed—The All-Rail Bate to Be ‘Reduced—Trans-Missouri Association’s Jurisdiction Discussed. Traffic Commissioner OsZood was feeling very good this morning over the result of yesterday’s conference between a number of St. Louis merchantsapa the representatives of the new Tampico route to Mexico, the lat - ter having not only agreed to give the mer- chants a very low rate to Mexico at some fu- ture time, but having made the rate right thenand thereto take effect immediately. As soon as the meeting was over Traffic Commissioner Osgood issued a circu- lar letter notifying St. Louis shippers that the next Mobile steamer to Tampico will leave Mohlle on or about Feb. 10, which will give St. Louis merchants an opportunity to communicate with their Mexican customers and fill their orders for this steamer. Mr. Osgood says in his letter that th@representa- tives of the Tampico line have given substan- tial evidence of their desire and intention to afford St. Louis merchants much needed re- Het in their competition for Mexican trade as against the competition from the Eastern sa board. Further conference with thé representatives of this route for the purpose of extending the range of rates to apply on Mexican business are to be held in the near future. St. Louls shippers should be able todoa largely increased amount of business on the basis of the arrangements already made and members of the Traffic Association are there- fore asked to direct the attention of non- members to the new conditions. THE NEW SCHEDULE. The new schedule of rates is as follows: e white, any quantity quant — lead. ments. $i; tural e „ threshers, mowers, seperaters «and corn ers, car-toads, 90c; plows, knocked down and boxed, : knocked do and crated 8, 7 n 1 and farm wagons, Knocked down aad packed, car- loads, $1.20; saw-mill machinery, car-loads, $1; lumber, car-| ; sash. doors and blinds, car- loads, 85¢; sash, doors and Diinds, fess than car- loads, These rates are exclusive of the bridge toll, which is to be added by the receiving company in East St. Louls. BNO CHANGE IN ALL-RAIL RATES. The Southwestern Rallway & Steamship As- sociation did noumake any changes in freight rates to Mexico yeste afternoon, as was bat laid matter over for The intention is to wait uatil Freight and P assenger Central „ from New York when the schedule of rates to Louts merchants shipping over th route will de coupleted. Only merchants were resent at Gay’s meeting in © rooms St. Louls Traffic Association and the rates there agreed upon are rs: ly on lines of goods represented at e conference. Another meeting will be beld upon Mr. Michaelis’ return from New York to give other shippers to Mexico an opportanity to be heard, when the new emergency schedule, as it is calied, will be pleted. The name emergency is given to it because it is to con- tinue in force onty during the cut-throat rate war between the New York steamship com- panies competing for Mexican business in the transportation line. SEVEN DAYS TO TAMPICO. When asked at yesterday’s meeting how long it would take the Tampico route folks to put St. Louis freight into San Luis Potos the gentieman represen answered eleven or tweive said the E. 4 O. could take the goods to Mo- bile in torty-eight hours, but would prefer another twenty-fourhours. Mr. Best thought only four days would be n to trans- port the freight across the Gull, Michaelis added on two more for house officials at Tampico, another two to ul the San Potosi, which be the distributing poin of the Tampico Line for all Mexico as &.

He is scratch man in both events, George H. Thebus of the Belleville Athletic Club has been a prominent sprint man in re- cent St. Louis and Suburban meetings. He 1s conceded five feet in the fifty-yard handicap, and feels confident of beating out his old competitor, W. R.

Asalong distance man he ranks next to Kennedy of Chicago. His entry in the two-mile run means a lively struggie for victory in that event. Hedivides the scratch honors with Ed Byrne. II. A. Hendricks is one of the youngest members of the M. B. and A. C. He is the Western champion at one mile, andisscratch manin the half-mile event. He concedes from 25 to 45 yards to his opponents. He has shown well against such men as Hassel and Clingen, and his friends feel confident that he will give a good account of himself to- morrow night. Albert G. Harding, the crack local rider, began riding m March, 1888. At the initial | meeting of the Bicycle Track Association in 1889, he won a number of important events. During Augustofthat year he defeated V. P. Ring in athree-mile match race. At the State meet at Columbia in 1890, he won the majority of the first prizes and again at the August tournament ofthe Track Association he ran in seven races. Out of this number he won four, ran secondtwice and third once. At Peoria, during September of that year, he defeated some of the fastest Eastern riders. During 1891 he won all the races in which he started, His best record for the mile is 2:42. He isa member of the St. Louis Cycling Club and will race under their colors to-morrow ni Fonn Hcrck is the representative of the M. B. & A. C. in to-morrow night’s bicycle races and great things are expected of him. He started racing ee 1889 and that year won the one-mile safety handicap at the August tournament of the Track Association. His forte is road riding and in this respect he has few equaisinthe city. He competed at all the track events during 1890 and ran second in the five-mile Missouri Division champion- ship race, his time being 16:51 3-5. One of the hardest road-riders of St. Louis is George E. Tivy and, if perseverance counts for anything, he should some day top the list of local flyers. His riding career began in 1886, and in 1887 he established a twenty-four- hour record for the State at Clarksville, Mo. He is stockily bullt and possesséd of great powers of endurance. His best times are: Une mile, 8m. 4s.; three miles, 9m. 168.; five miles, lem. He is generally jlooked upon asa sure winner of the five- -mile race to-morrow evening. In the tug-of-war competition, five teams Are entered as follows: Chicagos of Chicago, Olympics, Missouris, Shamrocks and Emer: alds of St. Louis. THE RING. The fight between Tommy Warren and George Siddons at the Metropolitan Club, New Orleans, last night, resulted in a victory for the latter. He knocked out the former feather-weight champion in nine rounds. The contest was for $1,500, of which $300 went to the loser. Warren was seconded by „Dutch“!
