New York, Feb. 8.—Smoking ruins and ‘seged walls to-day mark the site of the Ho- yy tel Royal, at Sixth avenue and Fortieth street, the burning of which was reported in the Post- DISPATCH, and in no other St. Louis paper on Sunday morning. The destruction of this hotel will go on record as one of the most appalling calamities that has ever be- fallen New York City. The building was five stories in height and contained 124 rooms. Careful examination of the hotel register end the journal, which was furnished by \irbt Clerk Underwood, shows that the num- ber of persons in the building when the fre broke out was 152. Of these nineare known tobe dead. Eighty-one were rescued by the fremen, assisted by citizens,before the walls collapsed and sixty-one are still missing. ‘mong those who were rescued from the faming building are twenty-four who are to ao up yore or less seriously burned and bruised, — — fthese are at Bellevue Hospital, and garding 7 ‘ ical pur- ‘here fs one each at the New York and Pres- might have byterian Hospitals.

On the Fourth street side there was the coolest man in the dullding. e band 0 aro n over hand, and landed safely. ea FIREMEN FEARLESS OF DANGER. The firemen think there were seventy-five 2 inthe windows when they got there. © majority of these were women. The men attached tothe engine companies de- serted their engines and dashed to the ald of the men on the trucks, who were strugglin with the ols ladders. Someof them seize scaling ladders and swung them up to the coping of the first floor and clambered up them and dragged more ladders after them. In two minutes, witnesses say, the whole fourth sto of the house was literally covered with ladders, and on each were men, who clambered in at the windows in the face of the smoke and flames. They clamored out again, each bearing a woman or a man in his arms, and began their perilous descent. Notone met with an acci- dent. The men with the ladders on the Sixth avenue side had nosuch luck. The people there were more panic-stricken and harder tomanage. Probably the delay had a good déal to do with tnis. The first big ladder that the fremen started to put up got away from them and crashed back on the Elevated Rat road. It took them three minutes to get it n place, and in that time the flames were gainin fearful headway and were burning through the walls and doors into the rooms. When the ladder was in Place a dozen firemenand almost as many poscamen dashed upand leaped off on the alcony at the first floor and into the win- dows at the second and third floors. Police- man Daniel Glenn was one of the first back on the ladder with a woman in his arms. She had fainted. He came down haif a dozen rungs when a woman above him who had clambered onthe ladder unaided lost her footing and fell on him. She struck him when he wasona level with the third floor, and the force of the fall knocked loose his hold. All three fell to the pavement. Glenn's left shoulder was broken. The women received bruises, but were not se- riousiy hurt. Another woman fell on a fire- man who was bearing a woman and child to the ground, and they fellallina heap. They also escaped serious injury. The ladders reached only to the third floor at first. One that touched the fourth floor was put up finally, and men and women were carried down that. These scenes were repeated on every floor and all sides of the 3 ry | building. From nearly every window the fire leaped out al- most to the railroad track on the Sixth ave- nue side and across the street singed the trees on the Fortieth street side. Nota drop of water had been put on the fre. The men had been too busy saving life to think of property. Now the engines booked on to the hydrants. Chief Bonner had sent out athird alarm almost the instant he arrived. That called ten engines. Then streams were quickly at work, but there was no checking the flames, which had been busy at least half an hour. Soon the Fortieth street wall bulged in, and then the whole northwest corner of the Dullding; the whole roof went with it. Fifteen minutes later all that was left standing of the Sixth avenue side was a jagged piece of wall less than feet long, and about as much was heft of the Fortteth street front. The building was in ruins, andthe only work seeming to be done was the taking out of the dead. SEARCHING FOR BODIES. DELVING AMONG THE RUINS FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE CALAMITY. New York, Feb. 8.—Despite the fact that work of digging out the bodies of the unfortu- nates who lost their lives in the Hotel Royal was stopped temporarily at an early hour last evening, crowds lingered about the place during the night and hung on the outskirts of the fre lines, gazing at the Diackened and tottering walls. At7o’clock this morning, when the ghastly search was resumed, the crowd of the night was swelled to five times its size. The firemen at 9 o’clock this morning found the body ofa woman in a room on the fifth floor, that portion of the building still stana- ing on Fortieth street. A few minutes later, >. _ — escape from the blazing buflding.

He says: „Had I not had a st umbrella I should either have been burned or killed by jumping. I have been burned out at hotels three times now.

He came to this city yesterday to celebrate the event with his friends, and after a night of it went to the Hotel Royal and took a room on the fourth floor. Noonan was awakened by the shouts of fre and the tries for help of men and women in the bufiding. Fora moment he was dazed, Dut m an 1 he collected his scattered senses. He looked out in the hall, but there was no escape there. He looked out ofa window and noladder was near him, so he, withthe confidence of an athlete, swung bimself from the windowsill to the window below, and from one window to another he descended until he reached the ground. HOW THE FIRE STARTED, window. escaped, and always been STATEMENT THAT THE ENGINEER WAS DRUNK AND THE NIGHT CLERK ASLEEP. New ox, Feb. 8.—One of the scrub women at the Hotel Royal makes the statement that at 20’clock in the morning, when she left the Hotel Royal to go across the street to sleep, Engineer Hading was drunk. She saw him stagger, she said, and others told her that Hading was seen under the infivence of liquor earlier inthe night. The night clerk, Under- wood, denied this story when it was repeated to him. He said Harding was a steady man and quite sober on Saturday night. The chef of the house says that one of.his cooks may have left the grease pot on the stove, and that it boiled over. The burning fat, in that event, could have set fre tothe floor and wall, or Diazing to the celling, the fire may have started in that way. Engineer Hading is posttive that his furnace and botller were in good order, and that no burn- ing coals escaped. The boiler dies up an houranda half after the fire brokeout. It was common gossip in the servants’ dormi- tory at No. 669 Sixth avenue that Night Clerk Underwood was asleep at the time of the fre. The scrub woman said that he generally was the body of a man was found beneath a pile of debris under the site of the dining-room. | The work of clearing away the ruins is be- ing carried on by 12 Italians in charge of | Contractor Galligan. Seven bodies had been | found at 9:30, but how many charred and mangled bodies are still buried beneath the | ruins of the hotelis a question of horrible The bodies of many others may the mass of steaming wreckage the wide space between the blackened and disfigured walls. In taking out the seventh body quitea pit had to be dug under where the dining-room was and a number of other bodies were brought into view. Every effort was being made to recover these when !t was discovered that the wall on the Fortieth street side was tottering and threatening the lives of all the workmen and sothe search a to be sus- pended for a time in order that the wall might be torn down. As soon as this was done work was once more resumed. At 11-30 o’clock the eighth body was found about ten feet fromthe spot where the sev- enth body had been discovered.

Secretary Blaine Withdraws From the Presidential Field. THE “SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH’S” AN- WOUNCEMENT CONFIRMED. Ohio Republicans Ranged in Sherman and Foraker Camps by the Withdrawal— Depew Hears the News—Oalifornians Nonplussed—Unfavorable Foreign Crit- icism—Press Comment at Home. Waen moro, D. C., Feb. 8.—The publica- tion of James G. Blaine “s letters announcing his withdrawal from the race for President merely emphasises the announcement made in these dispatches Sunday morning. The Secretary of State had said to friends that he did not know whatactionhe would take, but it was known to a special few that the withdrawal had been determined upon, and the only matter to be settled was the selection of the day in which the public should be taken into the Maine statesman’s confidence. J. 8. Clarkson, Chairman of the National Republican Committee, called on Mr. Blaine Saturday night and told him that the inter- ests of the party demanded a definite state- ment of his intentions. This interview de- termined the selection of the time at which the letter was to be made public, and it was at once prepared. The important political document is as follows: WASHINGTOR, D. C., Feb. 6. Hon. J. S. Clarkson, Chairman of the Republican National Committee: My Dan Stn—Iam nota candidate for the presi- dency and my name will not go before the Repabli- can National Convention for the nomination. I make this announcement in due season. To those who have tendered me their support lowe sincere thanks and am most grateful for ther confi- dence. They will, lem sure, make earnest efforts in the approaching contest, which is rendered espec- fally important by reason of the industrial and finan- clal policies of the Government being at stake. The popular decision on these issuesisof great moment and will be of far-reaching consequence. Very sin- cerely yours, JAMES G. BLAINE. IN SHERMAN’S STATE. THE SENATOR'S FRIENDS JUBILANT AND FOR- AKER’S DISHEATENED. Cotrmars, O., Feb. 8.—The news that Blaine has sent a letter to Chairman Clark- son declining tobe a candidate for the Re- publican nomination forthe Presidency was interesting news indeed to Ohio politicians last night. The Democrats generally seem to regard it as leaving the field clear for Har- rison and sayit means that the President will be nominated again. The Sherman fac- tion of the Republicans are very much pleased over the condition this leaves the work of the Minneapolis convention in, though some of them think Alger will come forward promi- nently mow as a can te To the Foraker He cans the news was evidently unwelcome, some of them said the letter to Clarkson was nothing more than would be expected from Mr. Blaine, as an act of fealty to the Administration, whether he would accept the nomination or not. They say this brief letter will be so regarded by Mr. Blaine’s friends, who will not close their work in his behalf because of it. Others of the Foraker faction say they believe Mr. Blaine is sincere in saying that hedoes not want the nomination, but think there is a popular demand for him to be the candidate, which he will not ignore whenit is made manifest. Nevertheless, it is plain that the letter has put a damper upon the Foraker | Republicans, who were preparing to take re- venge upon the Administration for the part ittook in the recent senatorial contest in Ohio by throwing their influenceto Blaine and thas Jefeating Harrison. They doubt that Harrison can be defeated for the nom- ination by any other man. DEPEW HEARS THE NEWS. FIRST IMPRESSION PRODUCED BY THE BLAINE LETTER. New Tonk, Feb. 9.— Have you heard the news? said a reporter to Chauncey M. Depew. „No. What kind of news?’’ said Mr. De- pew. He stood in the reception room of his home at No. 43 West Fifty-fourth street and he looked as if he would not be surprised at any kind of intelligence. „political news, said the reporter. „Come into the library,’’ said Mr. Depew. The fire was burning lowinthe handsome room. Mr. Depewtooka poker and began to coaxa cheerful fame from the embers. The reporter read Mr. Biaine’s letter. Mr. Depew continued to poke the fire. As he stooped to his task he kept his face haif turned to the reporter and listened hard. Signed James G. Blaine, continued the rter. 213 it true? asked Mr. Depew, still stab- bing away at the fireplace. “Prue as gospel.

Mr. Depew laughed as he only can, and lay- ing aside the poker, stroiling to his rocking chair beside the desk, sat down and began to Now, he said with a smile born of com- fort, ‘‘as Billy Birch, the oid minstrel used to man, ‘read dat agin, bones. po read.

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS, THE SECRETARY'S LETTER CAME LIKE A BOMB- SHELL TO THEM. Saw Francisco, Oal., Feb. 8.—Blaine’s letter of withdrawal was a bombshell in the camp of the Republicans here, thé great majority of whom have taken no stock in the repeated dispatches from the East that he would retire from the presidential race. Bidine has no more enthusiatic following than the California Republicans. They have stayed by him through thick and thin, It wasa bitter pill when they had to accept Harrison. They have been claiming for months that laine was the man to lead the party to victory and his with- wal is a heavy blow. Harrison has never been popular here. Even his visit did nothing to help him politically. In fact, the Republican politicians here thought it had injured him ause he made 80 r an impression. Among people at large it will be regretted ‘still more, as Blaine was the idolof the Californians and would have secured a heavy vote, many Democrats ane him to any man in their own rty. mong the Democratic politicians the news of Biaine’s actual retire- ment was received with joy, as all who talked on the subject last night held that there is no man inthe Republican ranks ex- cept him whois formidable, or who cas de- feat either Hill or Cleveland. CHICAGO NEWSPAPER COMMENTS. THE LETTER INSINCERE OR A SACRIFICE TO HARRISON. CaicaGco, III., Feb. 8.—The Heraid this morning says edtorially: The popular con- ception of Jas. G. Blaine's character will manifest itself to-day inthe question which will be very generally propounded: Does he mean what he says in his letter to Mr. Clark- son announcing that de will not go de- fore the Republican Convention for the nomination?’’ Singulariy enough, if we are to judge from the past the men who strenu- ously seek to convey the impression that Mr. Blaine says ope thing in this communication and means another will be his warmest sup- rs. Healone among public men in America is admired for hiscraft, for his smartness, and his tricks, and it 1 he very difficult to believe that this latest expression means whut the wordsimply. The Herald does not imagine that the brief note to Mr. Clarkson will quiet the demand from this element of the Republican party that Mr. Blaine become the candidate.’ Some disclaimer from him was necessary if he expected to remain in Mr. Harrison’s cabinet. The letter now in hand is, in Mr. Bilaine’s own expressive language, an anchorto windward,’’ for it will be expected to cover a vast amount of campaigning hereafter, but it will not be widely regarded as an honest disavowa!l of an ambition which has brought innumerable embarrassments and more than one defeat upon the Republican party. In other woras, Mr. Blaine’s statements now and in future will be accepted for what they may be worth. The Tribune says: The announcement is definite and unequivocal, and those who be- lieve in Mr. Blaine sufficiently to wish that he might be the candidate will accept his words as final. His wise supporters will ac- cept his letter as having been written with- out reserve, and they will not impute insin- cerity to him, because he has never yet learned how to be ungracious. The Inter- Ocean says: It is not improbable that Mr. Blaine has before him many years of usefulness. His letter of declination Is by no means a farewell to public fe. But it is a confirmation cf the general opinion that his strength has been so far impaired dy hard work and advancing age that be cannot stand the strain and burden of a national campaign. The Times: It had long been believed, and the letter shows the belief was well founded, that an understanding has existed between Harrison and Blaine —1 the nomina- tion of 1992. Having centered in himself the opposition to Harrison, Blaine will bow him into the Minneapolis nomination. The White House management has been too shrewd for the favorite sons. It has caught them all in the Blaine fly paper and left them struggling hopelessly. e Minneapolis nominee Will be the present tenant of the White House. Mr. Blaine was a willing stalking horse.

Y.,Feb.8.—Charies McElvaine, the murderer of Christian Luca, was exe- cuted by electricity at 11:15 this morning. He passed his last Sunday on earth without showing any signs of fear or apprehension, He was visited by his unmarried sister and Mrs. Ames Neville, another sister, and his wife. His two sisters showed intense grief, while his young wife appeared less affected. McElvaine was indifferent. His two sisters had to be led away after they said farewell to him, The last farewell with his wife and two sis- ters was very affecting. The women arrived at the prison at 4:30 o’clock in the afternoon. They were taken to the condemned man’s cella few minutes later. Mc¥Elvaine’s wife is not over 25 years ofage, with fair hair and rosy cheeks. The elder sister, Mrs, Agnes Neville of Brooklyn, is a tall woman with slender figure and a kindly face. . She was in deep mourning, while Mrs. McElvaine wore a Diack dress and plush coat, and hada biue bow in her hat. The younger sister is only about 16 years old. The women remained with McElvaine five hours. When they left him to take the 9:5 train to the city all were weeping, but Mrs. Neville seemed the least affected. McElvaine was slightly moved when his wife and sisters said farewell for the last time, but ho soon re- gained his usuai composure. McElvaine slept soundly until 6 o’clock this morning. Heatea light breakfast and spent some time with Father Creeden in prayer. After the priest left Keeper Connaughton en- tered the cell and asked if McElvaine wanted anything. No, I’m all right,“ said McElvaine. ‘‘I feel first rate. I'm ready to go at any time. THE EXECUTION. Atthree minutes before 11 o’clock Warden Brown calledin the guard stationed at the mainentranceand gave his instructions not to allow any one to pass the dead line for any purpose except the witnesses, a little group of whom stood just outside in the roadway. These witnesses went into the prison and the doors were locked on them. This was the signal that the time for the excution was near at hand. McElvaine went to his death — When he was brought into the room he looked quickly about and then fixed his eyes on the chair. At a sign from the chief keeper he walked over to it unfllnchingly and sat down. Then he stared straight ahead of him asthe deputy quickly adjusted the straps and drew them tight As the face stra was adjusted McElvaine grew excited and shouted ‘‘Let her go. instantly the current of 1,700 volts was turned on and McElvaine was silenced. Steam began to rise from the salt water in the sponges on the electrodes. The duration of contact was forty-five sec- onds. In a few seconds after the current was cut off by Dr. MacDonaid, froth issued from the mouth and aimost simultaneously there was a quick gurgling exhalation, and as quick a recovery, like a person strangling, by water going the wrong way. The current was at once reapplied and continued for forty- five seconds, when the doctors examined the wrist for pulsations, but there was none, and after examination by all the doctors present, the subject was declared dead—which Is to say that all consciousness was dead, and the muscular reflexes had ceased. THE DEATH CHAIR. McElvaine came into the chamber with patents, himself carrying before him a cruct- x and murmuring prayers. The chair used was one never before employed.

THE ITALIAN WHO WAS TO HAVE BEEN ELEOC- TROCUTED TO-DAY. New York, Feb. 8.—Nicola Trezza, who was to have followed McElvaine to the elec- tric chair to-day, has been permitted to live, his sentence having been commuted by Gov. Fiower to life imprisonment. On the 6th day of April, 1890, in the town of Flatbush, Kings County, Trezza shot and Killed Alexander Salvano and was afterwards convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be executed. The evidence on the trial, most of which was furnished by members of Sal- vano’s family, was to the effect that Trezza, while visiting the deceased on the day in question, uttered threats of violence a him, and that, as he was leaving the and while Salvano stood in or near the side doorway, he shot and killed him, his being of the most inexcusable, wanton unprovoked character. Affidavits presented to the Governor,and up- on which the commutation was granted, es. tablished the fact that the account of the tragedy given by the witnesses Was in some very material respects untrue. The wound Wen Salvano necessarily caused instant eath, and he could not have stirred a step after receiving it. These affidavits show conclusively that when he fell he was at least forty feet away from the door in pursuit of Trezza, who was fleeing from him, and not in or near the doorway,as stated by the wit- ness on the trial.

1 * Filley’s Bold Game to Capture the ? He Copies the Official Stationary of the Organization. OREDENTIAL AND OTHER BLANKS SENT * OUT WITHOUT AUTHORITY. President Matt O. Reynolds and Secretary TL. NM. Hall Denounce the Action—The Delegates Selected by the Filley Olubs to Be Challenged atthe Convention— Prospect of a Big Row Over the Creden- tiale—Political Matters. In his Gesire to get control of the State Republican League Convention which meets pext Friday at Sedalia, Boss Filley has re- sorted to practices that have caused much indignation in the party ranks. The officials ot the State League do not charge Mr. Filley with forgery outright, but they do say that he has acted in a decidedly high- handed way and that his methods will be. given some attention when the convention opens next Friday. From all accounts ‘‘de ole man’’ has been playinga desperate game. He has flooded the State with circulars setting forth that he has done more for the Republican party in Missouri than all his opponents combined. Hie attacks the Silk Stocking element and winds up with an appeal for the orgdniza- tion of new Republican clubs. If be had stopped there the league organization of the State would not care, but he did not. The claim is made that he deliberately went to work, copied the official papers of the league, put A counterteit of the official stamp on each sheet and sent them out with his circulars. With the collection sent to each person he inclosed a credential blank to de used in sending the names of the delegates from the newly organtsed clubs to Secretary L. M. Hall. The blanks are similar in almost every respect to the of- ficial papers. The only difference noticeable isin the seal of the league. Sec- retary Hall recently had a rubber stamp made to impress the seal of the league on the papers not bearing the wood-cut impres- sion. The rubber stamp was a perfect fac simile of the official button of the league. The stamp used on the blanks scattered broadcast by Filley was similar, with one exception. The letter 8“ in the lower part of the button was shaped differ- ently from that on the official stamp, but at the same not one in 100 outside of the Officials ofthe organization would notice the differ- ence. As a result of Filley’s work new clubs have been organized rightand left and have gent In the names of delegates on the Filey blanks. These delegates wili de- mand admission to the convention and if they got in there, they will support de ole man“ in any move he may make. ENTIRELY UNAUTHORIZED. President Reynolds and Secretary Hall learned of Mr. Filley’s performance some days ago, when his blanks began coming in to the headquarters of the ague in the Oriel Building. While giving the matter their attention they were amazed to receive a package of Filley’s literature containing the unauthorized copies of the stationery. The ckage was addressed to Mr. Hall, and after examining it he smiled and said some- thing about politics that were ‘‘decidedly practical. President Reynolds, it is said, de- 4 from his usual custom and expressed is feelings in words of profanity. He was indignant and said be had never seen any- thing of the like before. Secretary Hall was seen by a PostT-Dis- PATCH reporterand asked what action the league would take. He said: ‘‘I do not know. We willinvestigate these clubs and you can put that down as a certainty. We propose to be fair and make upa roll of del- egates representing clubs that actually exist.’ Speaking of Filley’s bianks he said: SECRETARY HALL TALKS. The official league button is to be worn by any Member or any league club who de- Sires to do so. The use of it on league stationery is tostamp its official character. It would not be improper for any league club regularly enrolled to use it on its own club stationery so long asthe club name ap- pears showing it to be for club use only. The use of it in any other way is at least improper and unauthorized. Mr.Filley is simply a mem- ber ofa league club and has no other official connection with the league than any other one of its 100,000 members. Why he has seen fit to duplicate my blanks and even to dupli- cate my official stamp I do not pretend to know. Any Republican in the State, in- cluding Mr. Filley, can secure bianks at my headquarters any time without charge. For some reason he has printed for his own use an exact copy of my credentials, using the the same water-marked and ruled the using on it a my official stamp. There happen to be two slight variations from my official blank, by which his blanks are im- mediately detected. Many of these blanks are Deing returned to headquarters, princi- Pally by what are reportedasnew clubs. In- vestigation has shown that some of these ciubs have no actual existence,and this fact, together with the wunauthorizea blanks, naturally excites some suspicion ofthe mo- tive leading to their issue, and even casts a shadow of doubt over the bona fides of the credentials.’’ **What action will be taken?’’ Mr. Hall was asked. **Well, the convention will, Iam sure, ad- mit only delegates properly elected. All credentials that are not regular will be re- ferred tothe Credentials Committee. Dele- gates considered irregular should not, course, be given representation on that com- mittese.’’ When asked if heconsiderea Mr. Filley’s conduct a violation of law for which he could be prosecuted, Mr. Hall replied in the nega- tive. ‘‘Under the legal status of things it would be necessary to prove that Mr. Filley resorted to these practices for the tere of raising money or securing something of mon- etary value. PRES(DENT REYNOLDS SEE. When seen by a Post-DisPpaTcou representa- ve to-day President Reynolds said: ‘This will come vefore the Credentinis Committee and will be settled h The officers of the State League are the fact —— credential blanks bearing the seal ofthe organizationand the name of Secre- 18 have deen scattered through the tate, and they know also that new clubs have been organized or al- god to have been organized, and the names of delegates sent in to headquarters on such bianks.

V.

In accordance with the foregoing the company will be omy to ave this examination at your earliest conven *. Yours truly, \stgned) A. H. WELCH, con ent. a Vice-Presi- In accordance with/the above, on the 22d May of June, 1891, the Insurance Department was placed in charge of the books, records, etc., Of this company, and remained in charge until the 4th day of January, 1892. There are many reasons why it seems not onlg proper, but necessary, to review with you the Insurance Department’s findings. First—No corresponding test has ever been applied to the life insurance business, and the results ought to be presented to you, not Only without prejudice, but from the com- pany’s point of view, and tome it seems to be clear that the only way to achieve this is by ersonal statement. I do not mean by this to reflect in any way on vour sources of information hitherto.” I say that no corresponding test has ever been applied to the business of life insurance; by thisI mean no investigation by a State in- surance department has ever been made of a company whose assets and general business reached corresponding: proportions. Since any test has been applied to the conduct of this business results have been achieved which a Tew years ago seemed impossible. The horizon has expanded and Cuties and re- sponsibilities have fallen upon me and the executive officers of this company, and of nearly all other life insurance companies, which, if not new itn kind, are so much greater in degree, as to constitute almost a new world of experience in our dust ness. The investigation just closed has, therefore, been remarkable for this as Well as for other reasons, and be- — question in addition to its proportions, as been the most searching and merciless inquiry ever madein the executive office of A life insurance company. The central fact in such investigation is, and must be, the in- tegrity ofthe assets of the company. The figures of the inquiry were brought down to June 380, 1891, and the Insurance Depart- ment’s general statement is as follows: As- Sets, $120,710,690.64; liabilities, $106,002,014.81; gross surplus on policy-holders’ account, $14, 708,675. 83. The Superintendent of Insurance well said in commenting on the above: Those interested may be assured that this conclusion is correct and trustworthy.’’ These words will bear reading a second time. They mean something different from a Casual statement of financial responsibility ofthe business world. They could be used only after our assets had been subjected to a test, which might seem from many points of view unnecessarily severe, but which from the nature of business, andthe sacred character of its trust, is unquestionably wise. The superintendent, therefore, means that all doubtful items were eliminated, that our opinions were necessarily ignored: that dis- interested opinion was the standard, and that we were obliged to plead before a bar where mitigating circumstances were ruled out of evidence. After such a test I may be allowed to offer my congratulations to our membership on the result and to state that the other ex- ecutive officers of the company, myself, share with you in the satisfaction of So greatan achievement. Idesire personally to emphasize my congratulations on this particularand most important view ofthe report. It would have been unnatural, I think, if the idea of myself and associates of the aggregate value of the assets of this company as expected in our last annual statement had differed toa considerable de- ee from the idea of the gentleman who xed the values expressed in the insurance department’s statement, differences could arise only in certain classes of investments. A large portion of the assets of such an in- stitution is of such a character that there would be no variety of opinion as to its value on any given date. But itis equally true that a considerable portion of the assets of this, as of every simi- ar company, is of such a nature that its value at any given time must necessarily be ex- pressed in different totals by equaliy capable and responsible men. The variation would actual fluctuation in value, but Simply a difference in opinion. Which opin- ion might be for your purpose most nearly correct, is again a matter ofopiniton. While I concede the wisdom in such inves- tigations ofa conservative view, and under the peculiar circumstances surrounding our request for this examination the wisdom and necessity ofan ultra conservative view, Icannot avoid the conclusion that in these particular items, the opinion of the men who ave planned and directed the erection of the great company, while they may be accepted asthe utterance of special pleaders, are worthy at least of considera- tion by you. Laccept the aggregate finan- cial findings of the insurance department as constitutiong an indorsement ofthe man- agement of this company at once satisfac- tory to you and creditable tome and my as- sociates. Itis possible that jn spite of the peculiar character of this investigation, you would not have accepted any word from me, had the matter rested there, but the super- intendent of insurance has seen fit, after an- nouncing not only the solvency, but the gee ere of the company, as evi- u its gross surplus of nearly $15, 000, - 000, to take up and discuss certain items = 2 so hag criticised the — — = in these detail ~ with you Over the ground tra surance department in o tention may be called t 0 a n losses which I will int out specifi with the 2 cir- neces, andi raise the question of d erintendent Insurance De- as wellas * . differ, and other ah) ‘ona scientions a praisers 4 1 * —— t higher ——— an- tleman who tendeat of ew York, thatin his ent the vroperty at the present ig wo 5° — From your pons of view I not fair to conclude that the e may after all exist only as a matter of opinion, but the case will bear one more comment. 7 88 finely located as any on purposes, and Baer as an — pro rty in the nited States. it sin the line of increasing Vulues, and in my judgment will ultimately yield the company a large return on the original meg ry oo * 2 alleges ome office ng e re e a loss on this property of 288, its book value is $1,914,295 and it enters the super- intendent's report at $1,550,000. To illus- trate ‘again how opinions vary as to the value of real estate, let us make a parallel between this property and property of a sim- llar character in New York and draw a Con» clusion. Take the value placed upon our home office building for the purpose Of taxation and place it side the same value of the a eg Life Assurance society’s home office buliding. The official valuation for the — 7 — of taxation ot your home office ullding is $1,050,000. Of the Equitable home office building, $3,800,000. A statement of the figures at which each property was entered in the assets of its respective company, Dec. 81, 1890, is as follows: The home office building of the New York Life, $1,914,000. Home office, the Equitable, 315. 140, 000. The department’s estimate of the value of our property is approximately 80 per cent, while the associate Ogures for the purpose of taxation are little more than 50 per cent of its book value. As the — 1 who appraised our home omce bullding. has never made an appraisal of the value of the Equitable’s home office building we can hardly draw a conclusion from that basis, but figuring from the value placed open it by the assessor its total value would be ap- proximately $7,600,000. Ifthe dook value of Our home office was accepted at par, I cite these figures as strongly bringing out the truth of my suggestion concerning Opinions as to real estate value. Everyone is familiar with the eminent success of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and no one would be so absurdly unjust to that company as to allege a loss on this one parcel of real estate of $7,500,000, or indeed any loss at all. From the power holder’s view, therefore, it is not worthy of your con- sideration, that in this case, a in the matter of the Plaza Hotel, the loss alleged is after all perhaps a mat- ter of opinion. In fact 1 could cite you good authority on real estate values in New York, who will place on our home office building a valuation in excess of its cost. There are many reasons why this estimate would be conservative. In the first place, the real estate was urchased in 1869, and is exceptionally well lo- cated. Auyone who knows anything about the history of réal estate values in New York, for twenty years will agree that there has been during that period a heavy advance in this and all property sim- Uarly situated. The bullding has not been allowed to deteriorate in any particular, and it would seem that our statement of actual cost, $1,914,000, wasa very conservative fig- ure. 0 Holbrook Hall, now called the Yosemite, on this item a loss has been made. Briefly the facts are these: In 1882 we made a loan on this property when in course of construc- tion, andafter the manto whom the loan had been made spent not only his means, a considerable sum, but the money ioaned him as well, he failed, and we were obliged to foreclose. The cost of the property to us after foreclosing was very little more than the amount ofthe loan. The work of com- leting the structure was then placed in the ands of an eminent constructing engineer. He supplemented his own knowledge by employing an archi- tect, and the bulidin was finished. It was filled with a desirable class of tenants and would have paid a fair return on its cost but for two errors which could not have been before seen, and which do not justly subject the Finance Committee.to the charge of mak- ing a bad investment of money. In carrying outa theory of fire-proof construction, the architect made the same error precisely that the architect of Vice-President Morton’s hotel, the Shoreham, at Washington, did, and voth buildings had to be reconstructed for substantially the same reason. The mistake of the architect in each case was in creating such a condition that dry- rot 8 destroyed the timbers, and the build shadto be vacated at onze. It was then discovered that in addition the foun- dation to Holbrook Hall, put in oy the men whofirst obtained the loan, was insecure and asa nal result the whole structure had to come down. It was then rebuilt under the supervision of McKinmead and White on the most approved lines, and there is not a finer structure of its class in this country to- day. The absolute loss to us there was ap- Sr r the cost of the first building. his was charged off and entered the proper- ty In our annual statement at the cost of the present building and ground. The figures, $729, 066. The appraisers of the insurance department refused to accept, $480,000 was named instead and entered inthe insurance department’s find- ings. It is proper to add that on our basis of rentalthis property will yield when fully rented, a net income of 6% per cent on the value placed upon it by the insurance de- partment, and would yield a little more than per cent on our valuation, $729,066. I do not desire to evade full ee TL for my- self and the Finance Committee inthis mat- tea. Theclaimof infallibility in the invest- ment and reinvestment of hundreds of mil- lions of dollars is one I have never set up. Fourth—The Paris property. This prop- erty was purchased some years ago under the supervision of the Chaiman of our Finance Committee, who wagon the ground at the time; his investigations as to the value of the property were most searching and the pur- chase was made with all due care. That the rental value of the property has since depre clated is true, and that there is an apparent loss is true. But if the Superintendent had not only secured an appraisal of the value of the property as it now stands but had also investigated the value of the ey © J when it was purchased he could save fully satisfied hig duty as an examiner and at the same time could have given you as satisfactory reason for the original price But nosuch investigation was made and as his findings seem to do us injustice, not only as above cited, but also in the value placed upon the property now, the matter will be a word more in explanation, It was broughtto my notice during the superin- tendent’s investigation that the figures supplied by the Department of the Taxation of the French Government on his request represented values fixed solely for his partic. ular purpose. Our manager at Paris with a great deal of difficulty succeeded in gettin the Credit Foncier, the largest institution o its Kind in France, and a society the reputa- tion of which is well known throughout Europe, to have a Valuation made of our property. This valuation was made with the greatest care by two of its most ex. perienced inspectors, and their findings, properly attested, were submitted to the su- rintendent of insurance. He preferred, owever, inasmuchas he could not procure inthe limitedtime at our disposal admis. sion from the French Government that its figures represented taxable 7 to reject the figures offered, In this way t estimate of the inspectors exceeds the figures ofthe French Government by $168,000, and their estimate of its prospective value = the improvements certain to be made by the 5 similar to the loss which home office building of the E Assurance Society should be entered in a schedule of its assets at 68. 800, 000.

The peop these States have constant business and social intercourse with one or more of the cities in which the buildings Nave been placed. The bulidings have therefore de- come widely known, forasthe superintend- ent says, ‘‘each of them forms one of the at- tractions ofthe city in which it is located.’’ Their influence upon the company’s business isextremely important. In 1 the year before the buildings were begun, the aggre- te new insurance written by the company n the territory in question was $8,047,200. This aggregate has steadily increased until for the year 1891 it amount $28, 869, - which is the lar ess that was secure In during that year by any life insurance com- pany, and not only was the quantity of the usiness remarkable, but its quality was such as to make it most desirable in every way. Without the bulldings it is safe to say such results could not have been obtained. Imay add, by way of neral comment on real estate matters, that while the superin- tendent notices that 64 compen owne 147 parcels of real estate, Bhd has other par- cels under mortgage, and the further fact that these properties are scattered not only through many States of this country Dut over two continents, the nature of such duties. made it necessary, perhaps, to omit com- ment on the real estate transactions in which profits have been realized,and toconfine him- self practically to the four parcels which he discusses, but your interests reach further and you will naturally be pleased to learn in this way not only the relation of the items criticised tothe company’s total holdings, but also the circumstances surrounding each case. If these related facts tell you anything, it is the probable existence to-day of a sur- plus largely in excess of $15,000,000. accept the superintendent’s figures. Yet, as you and I are particularly interested in the whole case, we are rmitted between ourselves to view the possibie effect of these facts. Suppose, for 5 that the super- intendent had accepted t well Known opinion of one of the heaviest holders of New York real estate as the valueof the Plaza Hotel, $2,750,000, and that he had ac- cepted the value of our home office building on a rental basis ofs percent net, and that he had accepted the inside figures of the in- spectors of the Credit Foncler as to the value of Paris property, his net deductions on real estate, including ‘his heavy deductions on Hoibrook Hall, would have been $429,309.25 This alone would increase our sgprpl AGENCY MANAGEMENT. Under the head of agency management, the superintendent of insurance says that funds of the company to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars have been advanced to these agents without interest, and upon in- sufficient security to persons unfamiliar with the life insurance business. And this Statement would seem to indicate the worst possible management of our agency department. The facts ought, therefore, to be fully ex plain d. The general system upon which adv neces have been made to agents by this coiapany and by other life companies may be illustrated as follows: The figures used being merely illustrative, — 8 the terms ofan actual existing con- ract. The company we will say, enters into a contract with Brown, whois general agent for a State, that he shall receive a com- mission of 25 per cent of the first year’s pro- mium on all policies paid by him anda re- newal commission of 5 percent on each re- newal 2 on each policy. Brown, of course, finds it necessary to em- ploy Jones and others as sub-agents and he ordinarily pays them the 25 per cent commis.- sien allowed him by the company on first year’s premiums, rown relies upon his re- newed commission for his own compensa- tion, but while he continues in active service he is frequently allowed to draw on a fixed amount against commissions for his livin expenses, such amount being regulate by the circumstances of the case. As competition increases, finds that in order to retain Sub- Agent Jones he will be obliged to more than 2% per cent commission. To o this, Brown is obliged to make a new ar- rangement with the company. Instead of increasing Brown's first year’s commission (the company agrees to advance to him a sum equ to renewals, or 10 per cent,) on bu siness secured by Jones. and to hold all of Brown's future renewal commissions under the contract as security for the advance. Brown is now able to pay Jones 35 per cent commission and so retain his services, but at the end of the year Brown is apparently in debt to the company in an amount eq to 10 per cent of all first year premiums secured by Jones, and the ger the business the larger the apparent debt. This will con- tinue until such time as the old business kept on the books grea exceeds the amont of new business annually done. In a rapidily increasing business this result will not reached for severalyears, but if the total amount paid to Brown not exceed - ed what the business was actually worth, the time will come when the missions accru- ing under this contract will exceed the total cost of the year’s business. Brown’s busi- ness from this time forth will reqgeire a less expenditure on the part of the company, and in proportion to its volume, than heretofore, and his so-called indebtedness, which ap- pears under his contract, will disap r more rapidiy than it accumulated. at which time Brown will realize the profit for which he has worked.

How Congressmen Are Bothered From the Louisville Courier-Journal. This morning a Kentucky Congressman bought fifty 2-cent stamps and attached them to letters he had written between sundown yesterday and noon to-day. They were in re. sponse to letters he had received from his constituents concerning their private affairs, a in no way pertaining to his legisiative duties. It robbed him of time that should be devoted to the study of public questions com: signed to his committee to digest and report upon. He is a candidate for re-election | — therefore he could not, as old Frank Wolfot used to do, throw the letters into a waste- basket; not being a retained attorney of special interest, as Pig Iron Kelley wus, his employers have not given him a deputy Con, ssman to attend to private matters, as he tariff monopolies gave such a deputy to Kelley, — The Overshoe Trick.

Wilson, state Treasurer and candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor of Illinois, will not push his sult for $5,500 against W. B. Urinton, Denis J. Hogan and Samuel B. Chase, members of the Democratic State Central Committee. The suit was compro- mised, and Mr. Wilson received in actual cash less than half the amount sued for. w. B. Brinton of Tuscola, Treasurer of the pemocratic State Central Committee, came to Springfield in accordance with an arrange ment previously made with Mr. Wilson. He gave Mr. Wilson $2,500in cash and a receipt for $1,230 for the State Central Committee and Mr. Wilson gave him a receipt in full of all demands. Mr. Wilson said regarding the settlement: „Mr. Brinton was here several days ago and proposed a settlement on a basis which I could not accept. I told him that if each of the three signers of the note would pay $1,250 ] would throw off $1,280 and the interest, and would also.contribute $1,250 to the funds of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. Brinton came to see me this morning and accepted the proposition. He gave me $2,500 in cash and a receipt for $1,250 as treasurer of the Democratic State Central Committee. That amount is now in the hands of the com- mittee to ight the Republicans with.“ The general impression here seems to be that Mr. Wilson’s settlement on the basis stated isa virtual acknowledgement that he made a mistake in bringing sult against the three committeemen.

The Piaintifis Produce Witnesses to Tes- tify That Mr. Soulard Was of Unsound Mind—Dr. Gregory Declares the Man’s Mental Faculties Unusually Good for His Age—Court News. The hearing of the Henry G. Soulard will contest case was resumed in Judge Valliant’s court to-day. There wasa large attendance of visitors when court opened. The first wit- ness called was Mr. George W. Taussig, the attorney, who was put on by the plaintiffs. Did you at any time, during the year 1888, prior to Nov. 6, have occasion to call on Mr. Henry G. Soulard, and,if so, did you have any conversation with him?’’ he was asked. ‘‘Icalled on him in February or March ot 1889, was the reply. What was your business with him?’’ The attorney explained that he called: on Mr. Soulard in order to obtain some informa- tion in an ejectment suit in which he was in- terested. It was necessary to show what por- tion ot Arsenal Island had been washed ashore, and he wanted to learn from Mr. Soulard with regard to the changes in the Mississippi River in past years. The witness wanted to know the location of the Missis- sippi River in the year 1851. Mr. Soulard did not seem to understand him. ‘The Mis- sissippi!’ the Mississippi!’ repeated Mr. Soulard,’’ said the witness, ‘‘as though he did not understand.’’ State Mr. Soulard’s tone,“ said Mr. Kehr, who was examining the witness. He spoke as though the Mississippi was something new to him. Did he make any response?“ No, be did not make any response. Did you get the information you sought?“ Of course not. From what you saw of Mr. Soulard and of your observations on that occasion, was be of sound mind?“ This was objected to and the objection over- ruled. He had no memory. That is not responsive to the question, Taussig then stated Soulard of sound mind. The witness took occasion to state that he was an unwilling witness. A CONTESTANT’S DAUGHTER. Miss Lida Webb, a daughter of Mrs. Harriet day, was the next witness. She stated she had joined her mother in the contest. **You knew Mr. Soulard?’’ “eG.” Were you ever at his house?’’ es. „Were you there once, or more than once?’’ More than once. State what you saw on one of those vis- its?’’ Judge Lubke, forthe defense, asked that the time of the visit be located. Wen was this visit?’’ asked Attorney Kehr. In the latter part of September or October of 1889, answered the witness. State what you said on that occasion.’’ Objected to becauseit wasafter the will had been signed, and objection sustained. Were youat Mr. Soulard’s house on any other occasion?’’ . **When was it?’’ About two weeks later. Two weeks subsequent to the visit you wa just stated?“ se ‘es * **Did you see Mr. Soulard?’’ "*ves.”" **Where?’’ In the sitting-room.’’ In the same house where you saw him on * occasion?“ ee es * State what you saw there?“ The same objection was interposed and sustained, and the witness was then with- drawn. A MAID’S DEPOSITION. Attorney Douglass then presented a de sition to the court for examination, and a discussion followed between Messrs. Douglass and Muench regarding it. After examining the deposition the court handed it to ..Attorney Douglass, who read it tothe jury. The ye was that of Mrs. Elsa Kunze of 2% Palisade avenue, Jersey City. She had been Mrs. Soulard’s maid, and her maiden name was Mary Wagner. She went to live with the Soulards in 1881, and re- mained there until after Mrs. Soulard’s death in . Mr. and Mrs. Lamotte children as though they were their own, but had never heard them speak of making property provision for them. De- —— did not notice anything wrong with Ir. Soulard. He had a nurse to attend him. He suffered with rheumatism. He was not treated asachild. His conversation was not rambling, but he was forgetful. If you spoke to him, and reminded him, he would then re- member it. He would sometimes think he and at his mother’s sometimes say to tak ge an 5 aim home, but when he was told that he was at home he would remem- ber where he was. He would sometimes fail to recognize persons, but when told who they were he would remember them. Sometimes he would think he was upstairs when he was down stairs. He would ask where his room was and when he was told he would go to it. Deponent did not know of his having to be taken to his room. The day after Mrs. Sou- lard’s death he acted the same as any one else. He cried a good deal, saying, ‘‘My good wife is dead.’’ He seemed to realize that she was dead. De ent remember seeing Mr. big at house the day after Mrs. Soulard’s death there were so many persons there. Dian maw ad oe Ay sca any bus cte there t ay.

A LNG CHERISHED PLAN TO BE CAR- RIED OUT AT LAST. — Formation of an Independent Oompany to Secure the Necessary Franchises and Property~Two or Three Routes Under Consideration—The General Offices of the Company to Be Removed to St. Louis. some three weeks ago the Post-DieraTrcu published information to the effect that the Missourt, Kansas & Texas Railroad Oo. was making arrangements to extend its line to et Louls, and this information has since been confirmed, Vice-President Waldo has charge of the arrangements, and several prominent St. Louisans not connected with the road are also interested in the enterprise. The intention is to organize a new company forthe purpose of obtaining the necessary from the State and the right into St. Louis, and when this is Gone the franchises can de turned over to the N., K. 4 1. The pew corporation isto be capitalized at $1,000,000, though of course it is not e- pected that the new une can be built for that cum. If this company should construct the road. us capital could be mereased at any time, but ifthe franchise were turned over tothe M., K. 4 T. to build there would be no necessity for any increase. The capitaliza- tion might be placed, to begin with, at only $100,000, but it would not look well for a eom- pany to ask for a charter that had not at least $1,000,000 in sight. The M., X. 4 T. has been desirous for years of extending its road to St. Louls and there is little doubt that its wisbes arenow adout to de realized. The route has not been fully determined as yet and the selection of it will depend upon two or three contingencies. Some of the Mer- chants’ Bridge people have bought an option on the Cleveland, st. Louis & Kansas City Railroad andthe M., K. & T. may enter St. uls over the route laid out for this road, er. tfsatisfactory arrangements cannot be made with the present owners of the option, the M. K. 4 I. will probably take tbe St. Ils, Kansas City & Colorado Bead off the hands of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Co., as the Atchison nas nouse tor it now. If satisfactory terms can- +t be made for the company out of either of Wians, then the M., K. & T will build its own line through to 8t. Louis from Sedalia or Boonville. Both of the bobtall railroads— the st. Louts, Colorado & Kansas City, now buflt and in operation from s&t. Louis to Union, Mo., andthe Cleveland, St, Louis & Kansas City will, however, be extended to Kansas City inthe near future, whether in the interest of the M.. K. & T. or not. WHAT HAS BEEN BUILT. The only portion of the Chicago, St. Louis & Kansas City at present completed is from st. harles to Hamburg, only sixteen miles, Dut ariy sixty miles more has been ed, e thirty-six miles on the west ena of the npleted portion, extending west from mburg. and the balance from St. Charles „ The intention of the new company is to ross the Missouri River at some int be- tween st.

Wut to be asked too many as he mignt be tem Pt ad EFI The address recently delivered before the St. Louis Society by Dr. Ludwig Bremer on tne pernicious effects of tobacco — on the buman System has been published with the permission of the author in pam- phiet form and will be found exceedingly in- teresting to all tobacco users. He considers tobacco ‘‘more harmfal than alcohol, from the simple fact that its use is more general, its effects more gradual and less obvious and that from a moral point of view it is in better standing. The breath of tobacco is held per- missible and will be condoned by all classes; that of alcobol is looked upon as odious and exposes its bearerin some quarters to social Ostracism.’’ He says that it is easy to convince a young man tnat he has a de- ranged stomach or kidney when the symp- toms are present, but a statement that his nerves and brain are below par and that to bacco is rank poison to him is received with more or less incredulity. Continuing. the doctor says: it may look like overstating and exaggerating I Speak when cco alone. in quite a num ents pre * to the institution.

The father of one of them who looked upon his son only as an g- case of bad boy, told me that he himself d been smoking ever since his 10th year and it had never affected him. In reality, being only 45 years old, he was a wreck, physically and mentally though he came of healthy stock. He could not or would not —4 1 — — ge was — undermin- 0 mind an , although his his friends knew and saw K. 1 PRODUCES INSANITY. But it is not only in the young that the use of to- bacco is followed with such disastrous effects. Smok- ing or Chewing. when commenced in the period of manhood, even at the time it generally does least harm, after middie age, will tell on the mind if excessively indulged in. is itto be wondered at that a drug which, until tolerance is established, has such potent and yee effects as to produce loss of co-ordination and unspeakable malaise and after used to it. is * up the well-known disturbances, amblyopia and even ameurosis—which, in short, pesecesce the charac- teristic . of a powerful nerve poison, is it a wonder if such drug, when, in spite of the warnings on the part of various organs, excessively and per- sistentently used, finaily produces one or the other form ofinsanitv? * * * That tobacco really does cause ipsanity is evidenced by the magic effec: seen in some cases after the discontinuance of the drug, when the patient s condition is still such thatthe is not wholly inaccessible to reason and has wil! power enough to abandon the habit. Thus I have seen that beginning melancholia with suicidal impulses, ballucinations of various kinds, forced actions, de- sides, the precursory symptoms of insanity, such as insomnia, crying speils, praecordial anxiety, fear of impending evil, that something is going to hap- pen, v@rtigo, beginning impairment of memory and judging power, and even the lowering of the moral tone, All of which and a Dost of others were attributable to chronie tobacco intoxication, disap- peared after freedom from the habit was established. CIGARETTE SMOKING. Referring to the ‘‘fatal’’ habit of cigarette smoking, fatal to the individual himself and pernicious to the coming generation, the doctor says: The result of my tnquiries among former victims of the cigarette habit cigarette smoke on the nervous system is totally dif- ferent from that of the cigar. I hope for the sake of humanity that the charge so often made that opium is used in cigarette manufacturing cannot be sub- Stantiated. If true, it would constitute the lowest depth of commercial infamy. However this may be, one thing seems to be generally conceded, that is the well-nich universal habit of cigarette smokers to **inhaie’’ and thus te multiply the chances of nico- tine absorption. Possibly it ison this sccount that moral and intellectual biight befalls so often the juvenile habitue and that the adult victim in time decomes figdety and cranky, sometimes barely adie to move along the narrow strip of the borderiand of insanity. THE USE OF COCA. In a foot note on the use of coca, Dr. Bremer forcibly expresses himself in this Manner The pernicious influence of this drug is also spread- ing at an alarming pate among the well-to-do. The various proprietary pre tiens which go by the name of Wine of Coca, and which, to the detri- ment of many. have been indorsed by physicians in good standig. are constantly working havoc among neurotic persons who believe they can take this kind of wine with the same impunity as they can alcoho! in some form. Only too late they find that one tabie- spoonfal of the stuff calls for another, and thats constant vague, half-conscious feeling of misery usbes them with the relentiessness of fate to the — bottle. Why do net the physicians, H cucs is indicated, use the reliable fluid extract and have it en in Madeira wine instead of aiding and abet- tink a nefarious trafic, whieh they do by prescribing the propfietary wimes of coca? The doctor's views in sagas to the results of tobacco, coca and alcohol on the system are based on his observations at St. Vincent’s Insane Asylum covering a period of several years. MRS.

Street Cars Collide and Passengers Are Injured. THE ACCIDENT DUE TO FOOLHARDINESS OF THE DRIVERS. The Owl Car ofthe Fourth Street and the Owl Car of the Sixth Street Lines Crash Into Each Other—Several Passengers Fady Injured and All Eadly Shaken Un The owl car of the Chouteau avenue line and the owl car of the South Sixth street line collided on Sixth and Chouteau avenue about 1 o’clock this morning and a number of passengers barely escaped with their lives. There were several balls and meetings in the center of the city last night and the owl cars were packed with men and women on their way home. How the collision oc- curred was not learned, but it seemed both drivers claimed the right of way and went on, without slacking thefr speed until about to collide. The horse car was struck in the center by the motor carand knocked from the track. A large hole was brokenin the sideof the car and all the windows smashed toatoms. Five men on the rear platform were thrown into the street and slightly injured. Large pieces of glass struck the passengers inside and cut them. Great excitement prevailed for some minutes. W hen the sengers were taken from the coach, in which they were tumbled in one large heap, a number were found to be in- jurecd. — Miss Sophia Giel of 2217 Chouteau avenue Sans from a scalp wound in the ead. John Vogel of 1312 Missouri avenue was knocked off the car and struck by the motor as he fell in the track. He is supposed to be internally injured and dangerously hurt. George Oeters of 1011 Dillon street was cut by fiying glass on the right hand. Severalothers were slightly tnjured, but their names could not be learned, as they hurried home from the scene at once. Mr. Chas. Oeters, who was one of the in- jured, was seen this morning and said: 1 was standing in the middle the car when the Sixth street line’s motor struck the rear ot our car. The shock threwme against the of the car, my hand breakin the window and sustaining several pain gashes. The rear of the car was lifted in the air and came down with a fearful jolt, caus- ing a great deal of excitement among the ssengers, several of whom seemed to have en hurt. Some of the ladies were very much frightened, thinking that something awful had occurred. Dr. James Reed of 1516 | Chouteau avenue was in the car and accom- panied me to a drug store, where he dressed my wounds. Our car had almost cleared their track when the accident occured. Killed by an Electric Car. Miss Latie Benton, a young woman of 23 years, was run over and instantly killed a bout 4:20 yesterday afternoon Dy motor car No. 4% of the St. Louis and Suburban road at the intersection of Cabanne and Clara ave- nues. The accident seems, from what can be learned, to have been due to the careless- ness of the motoneer. The deceased was a domestic in the employ of F. H. Wilcox, No. 5849 Clemens avenue, and was on her way home when the accident occurred. The tracks were muddy and the unfortunate girl did nat hear the car approaching until it was upon her. The weeels passed over her body just below the waist, man g ber in the most horrible manner and causing death almost instantly, The remains were re- moved to the Morgue. Struck by a Grip Car. James McDermott of 1100 North Sixth street was crossing Franklin avenue yesterday when he was knocked down by a grip car and He was carried to mis home and attended by a physician. Me- | Dermott is 60 years old and on account of his age his injuries may prove fatal. A Gasoline Stove Explosion.

You can stop a cough for the moment by the use of opiates. Many people think on this account that it is impossible to have a cough remedy without making it largely of opium or something similar. But after the opiate is taken the evil is not done away with. The opiate does not remove the cause of the disease. it simply locks up the system. But it does more: It par- alyzes the kidneys, it injures the diges. tion and it constipates the bowels. It wil be seen, therefore, that after a person is in this condition he is worse off than he was before he stopped his cough. This is why pneumonia is on the Increase in these lat- ter days. This malady ts always accom- panied by kidney derangement to a greater or less extent. REID'S GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE acts in a manner directly opposite to the different cough remedies that flood the market It incites the kidneys to action, and this re lieves the lungs from their burden. it aids the digestion and relaxes the bowels. In this way it will cure the worst cold, and not only stop the hardest cough, but it will cure such maladies as pneumonia or pleu- risy, or any other complaint that starts from a cold.

When the temperance element learned that tile Sheriff had given Stormy' private quarters downstairs, where he could have exercise, be granted interviews and lve on the fat of the land, an objection was de and a hundred leading business men ened a petition to Judge Rabb asking him to order the Sheriff .o tJ in a cell.

MOKELUMNE HILL, Cal., Feb. 8.—The stage to Valley Spring was stopped by highway- men yesterday morning about four miles from this place, at the same spot where a stage was stopped on the 7th of January last. The robber was masked by a gunny sack. He was a man of about 5 feet 10 inches in height, Gressed in dark clothing, and his voice sounded the same to the driver as the other highwayman. The driver was ordered to throw out the express box and he obeyed. The passengers were not interfered with. The information was brought to to town and Officer Goodwin and some citizens started out. The box was found open and empty. , CHEAPER THAN ANTHRACITE For stove, grate and furnace, PITTSBURGH CRUSHED COKE, DEVOY & FEUERBORN, Sole Agents, 704 Pine atreat. Heavy Snow.

Lexincror, Ky., Feb. 6,—During 1891 both the thoroughbred and trotting horse enjoyed a boom in the auction sale ring, but while the trotters summed up more in totals, the thoroughbred not only sold for a greater aver- age but in this respect beat any other year in the annals of breedingin America. All told there were 1,885 more trotting bred horses sold between the period of Jan. 1, 189, to Jan. 1, 1892 than thoroughbreds, but they only brought $152,370 more and averaged $586.67 less. Combined no less than 5,506 horses were sold at auction in 19891 and they brought a total of $3,309,420, an average ofa shade over $601. In 1890 those of both breeds thus sold reached a number of 4,235 horses, while the amount realized was $3,726, - 641, an average of a trifie over $778. This shows a decrease in average of $167, but both in horses and amount of mopey realied 1891 beats 1890—in horses 1,271, and in money $12,579. As an excuse for the falling off in average the 1,271 more head of horses on the market seem sufficient, as both records, so far as highest prices are concerned, were eclipsed last year, St. Blaise bringing more money than any thoroughbred yet disposed ofat auction, while Anteeo holds the same distinction in the trotting-borse class. The remarkable growth of both — in- terests comes, however, in the totals of the two years last past, which shows that the auction sales for twenty-four months foot up $6,606,261, for 9,841 horses sold, which shows anaverage of $600 for each horse that the hammer has fallen on during the period named on American soil. The phrase corn is king’’ is as old asthe hills, but the merry-go-round of time es the quotation now irrelevent, as it is the“ blood horse, not the food that he soloves, that has become king at last. Figures always tell the story, and making an estimate that private sales for the years of 1890 and 1891 foot up as much as those of the public sort you and have $13,000,000 worth of horses changing hands in twenty-four months. Can it last? asks the doubting Thomas, and especially is this directed towards the trotting horse. In reply to this question itis only neeessary to say, with the growing horse interests the world is also growing. New faces are to be seen on the promenade of every walk in life, when one drops out of the business three or four others fall in line. That noted horse authority, the late B. G. Bruce, predicted years ago thatin his lifetime a horse would sell at auction for $100,000. He missed his guess, but his prophecy came to pass before the grass had grown green over his last rest- ing place.

WINTER RACING A SUCCESS. Theentries for the winter meeting at the East St. Louis track are large enough these days to insure very fair sport, and it looks now as if winter racing had come to stay in the West as well as in the Kast, says the New York Mail and Express. There is a demand for it on the part of the large body of the public, and all that is required is good management to secure success. There is winter racing now not only in the East and West, but in the South, and there is talk also of a winter race track in Oalifornia. This marks a great change which has come overjthe turfin the last six years. The most curious thing about this change is embraced in thefactthatit has now been demonstrated that winter racing does not hurt the horses which compete. 1e Care of race tracks has been reduced to such a science that they can be made in justas good con- dition winter as in summer, with the exception of those Gays when the weather is absolutely stormy. An- other point which has come into view since the establishment of ail the year round racing is the large Gecrease in ailment. For- merly horses, when taken up in the spring after the winter’s retirement, used to break down quite often, andevery stable had its batch of cripples. Now the horses which race off and on during the winter months are able to keep the pace throughout the sum- mer, and are less able to ailments than those horses which have been rested for months and then wound up by a severe prep- aration for racing purposes.

Tim Murnane of the Boston Globe is still fighting all the Boston players who did not go with the Players’ League in their fight with the National League. He is endeavor- ing to have them all displaced by the Boston Players League men. e has tried to have Quinn put off the Boston team and Cub Strick- er given his place, and he is now endeav- oring to have Bennett and Ganzel removed, and either Morgan Murphy or Charley Far- rell takenin exchange. Here is Murnane’s latest on the subject, the member ofthe Legislature from East Boston“ referred to being, no doubt, Mr. T. Murnane, whose election to that office is not a matter of pub- lic record: Morgan Murphy, the phenomenal young catcher, whom the moguls have assigned to Cincinnati, was in this city last Saturday. When questioned about going to Cincin- nati Mr. Murphy said: don't want to go, and will not if I can help it. I should think Ganzel or Bennett would like to remain in the West, where they make their home. Morgan is not the only one who would like with oston I was talking dase ball a few days a who sald: .

THE RING. All arrangements for the coming contest between ‘‘Spider’’ Kelly and Chappie“ Moran have been completed.

If Moran wins he will do much toward regaining lost prestige, even though he goes against a sick boy. Kelly says he is not sick any more, and thinks he can beat Moran anyhow. Unless e is very ill, a good many persons think that he will do it too. He has the advantages of height and reach, and can hit harder. Moranisa pretty sparrer, but it is not be lieved that he can withstand Kelly’s left- — jabs and right-hand straight-snoulder ows.

H. Eaton, and delivered a sermon. His theme was ‘‘The Gospel of Wealth, and he reiterated his well-known views on the advantages derived by society from the concentration of wealth in few hands, provided the accumulations be rightly used, as trust funds for the good of the possessors’ fellow men.

Father Mark Januskiewcz, took public excep- tion from the altar toa letter written him by a member, Simeon Barnoswki, and he called the latter a chicken-thief. The man replied to the priest, and the latter ordered his re- moval from the church. A fight took place between nearly 200 members, in which Barn- owski was severely handled. Last night thirty Polanders were arrested for participa- ing in the disgraceful affair. An Important Difference.

Phillip Pollock, the young attorney, who was arrested at 3 o’clock yesterday after- noon atthe instanceof Miss May Wooding, had his case continued in the Second District Police Court to-day until Feb. 16. Miss May Wooding, her sister, a friend named Miss Spencer. and Mr. and Mrs. Wooding were in court and engaged counselto prosecute. The young ladies, who are quite pretty and attractive, were much disappointed at the continuance, because to-day was their first appearance ina police court,and the nervous shock was quite severe. Miss Wooding told the episodes of yesterday simply and per- suasively. ‘‘I wasinthe hall and this man, Pollock, who visits the people upstairs, met me and said ‘Wby do you steal my coal?’ He followed this up with calling me a vile name. At that I slapped him. He then struck me violently in the face. Miss Wooding showed a large cut beneath the right eye, inficted, she said, by Lawyer Pollock’s valiant fist. She said that she then grasped a broom, but he seized it and broke it. Mrs. Wooding called Officer Regan, who arrested Pollock.

WHALEBACES FOR Sr. LOUIS. Grain to Be Shipped to Europe Without Rehandling. A scheme is on foot which may result in the shipment of grain from this city direct to Europe without transhipment. The success of the new steamers, known as the ‘‘whale- backs,’’ in making the voyage from Duluth to Liverpool has attracted the attention both oflocal exporters and Eastern capitalists, and it is believed that vessels of this class can be sent to Europe by the way of the Missis- sippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The maln problem to be solved is whether these vessels can be built with sufficiently light draught to cross the bars and still retain the stability required to make the ocean voyage. The shallowness of the river channel at cer- tain points will necessitate decided 2 in the models in use on the lakes, but it is be- lieved that this difficulty can be overcome.

C., Feb. 8.—If a novel surgical operation, which was performed here yesterday, is successful there will be one idiot less in the world. Ex-Surgeon- General William A. Hammond, assisted by three surgeons, opened the skull of an im- becile, removed a large amount of bone, closed the skulland expects that the patient Will not only recover, but will bea level- headed man. This is the first operation of the kind ever performed upon an adult. A reporter saw Gen. Hamilton last night and asked who the patient was. He refused to give his name, but said that he was the son of a prominent foreign family. This gentleman, said the Doctor, was laced under my care a few days ago by his ather, to be treated for imbecility. He isa young man of 24. Up to the age of 20 he was possessed of a remarkable, you might even say a bright intellect. He had been through college and stood weil in hisclass. Soon after reaching the age of 20 he began to show signs of falling mental power. hen 1 saw him four years after that he was almost a complete idiot, at which time he was placed under my charge. He would sit by the hour staring at vacancy and laughing in a silly way. His speech was incoherent and he rarely gave a logical answerto a question. His general physical health was very strong. Afterathorough examination, I came to the conclusion That his falling mental power was due tothe disproportion in the growth be- tween the brain and the skull, that his brain had grown faster than the skull had grown, and, asa consequence, is compressed against the inner surface of the skull, sub- the whole brain to press ure and its development ‘*Trepaning was decided upon and to-day I performed the operation having first ov- tained full sanction from his father todo anything [thought proper todo.

Course of the Week’s Trading in the Metropolis. During the past week, the course of busi- hess atthe Stock Exchange has been quiet, irregular and, on the whole, toward lower prices. The market bas, for the moment, faljen into the hands of the professional traders, amomg whom, as usual,the ‘‘bear’’ temper predominates. The outside public and the larger bull operators seem willing that matters should take this course fora while. They have realized handsome profits on the January advance; and, in the absence ofany very pronounced ‘‘bull’’ feeling at the present stage, they deem it good tactics to withold thelr pupport and permit the bears“ to knock several points off prices and then take in new lines fora fresh ad- vance, The extraordinary easein the loan market can hardly possibly fail to produce an active, if not excited, speculation. When an ex- treme ease in money comes concurrently with a general depression in business it may tall to develop speculation; but when—as is the case at present—it happens along with large crops anda healthy state of affairs at large, it almost inevitably carries along with ita general rise in the value of securities as well as of other investments. There are two especially potent monetary influences at present acting asa lever on the market. In the first place, the farmers are devotinga large amount of the proceeds of their abun- dant crops to the liquidation of their farm loans, Which has the double effect of creat- ing a fresh demand for investments from the holders of the liquidated mortgages and of causing a large accumulation of currency at this and other Eastern centers. This move- ment is one of the main causes of the continued extraordinary influx of money from the interior. In the next place, the accumulation of large floating balances at this and other seaboard cities is producing a depression of the rate of interest on call loans which is appalling to the banks and to other financial institations, and that induces a demand for the dividend. stocks which amounts the with- drawal ot an important amount ot Al shares from the market.
