THE PITEOUS APPEALS FOR AID BY THE TRAPPED VICTIMS, There Were No Ladders Near, No Fire Recapes on the Building and No Possi- ble Way to Assist the Frenzied and Dying Ocoupants—Several Badly Hurt by Jumping From High Windows-—List of the Dead and Injured. Burrato, N. T., Jan. 2.—The new year was little more than twenty-four hours’ old when Buffalo was visited by one of the most fatal fires in der history. Those dead and likely to die recalled the horrible catastrophe of the burning of the Hotel Richmond: on the memorable 18th of March, 1887. The scene of the fire, which occurred this morning, was Mrs. Annie Hackett’s lodging- house, No. 12 Swan street, a é-story brick building of the tambie-down order, The first floor was used fora saloon and restau- rant and the second and third floors were used for sleeping- rooms. The beds were in little compartments and like box stalls in a stable. Shortly before & o'clock people passing heard the large panes of glass in the saloon crack and a moment later a cloud of thick black smoke and a tongue of flame darted out of the place. Almost at the same time the front and side windows of the lodging-house seemed to be alive with panic-stricken people. They rushed from one window to another and called piteously to the crowd to help them to escape from the blasing building. There were no ladders anywhere, no fire escapes on the building, no way to save the frenzied occupants. Two people were burned to death and about twenty others badly injured, at least ve of whom are likely to die. Following are the names of the dead: ISAAC BRADLEY, printer. Woman known as EpNA, day cook. The injured, as for as Known, are: Mrs. ANNA HACKETT, proprietress, burned about head and hands, Louris ANDeERSOK, lodger, burned about head, face and arms; will probably die. Davip Ek. Wand, negro cook, badly burned about the head, face and hands; will prob- ably die. EDpwanp Cross of Calffornta, frightfully } — durned about face, is not thought he can recover. JCORARLES VAN Ever (colored), private de- tective, hands and feet in bad shape; will probably dio. CHARLES Epwarps, printer, left arm broken, body badly burned; he jumped from the third-story window and is probably fatally hurt, JOHN AVERY Of Palmyra, N. T., also Jumped from the third story. His legs are badly purned and bruised. Grornce Wrient, bartender, hair burned off, hands and face blistered; will live. GEORGE FLEMING, arms and face burned, Grorce Harrixocrow, left shoulder dis- located and his back burned. J. F. Russ, painter and decorator, of Olcott, N. ¥., burned about arms and body; will live. WILLIAM SWEENEY, burned about legs. The loss on the property was very small, probably not more than $2,000. shoemaker, slightly A Sada New Yeoar’s Accident.

COLLISION IN KANSAS. : Four Dead, and Others May Dice From Thet: Injuries. LAWRENCE, Kan., Jan. 2.—A Rock Island freight train crashed into the rear of a Union Pacific freight ten miles east of here about 6o’clock this morning. The Union Pacific Caboose, a passenger coach, a carioad of lumber and a carioad of hogs were burned, Four persons Were killed and four injured, two probably fatally, The dead are: HERMAN Smize, stockman of Clay Center, Kan.

The crash came before he could accomplish this and he was killed. The Rock Island train engine was smashed and afterwards caught fire, but no further damage was done to that train. HAVE A BLACKLIST. * New Move Made by the Real Estate Exchange. Relations between the real estate brokers and the members of the Exchange will suffer a severe strain through a step lately taken by the latter organization. Within the past ten days the Exchange has begun the publi- cation of a dally blacklist, containing the names of delinquent tenants, all parties sued out, notices of ejectment sults filed and any further information that might be of inter- est to the agents in their house renting bus!i- ness. The information is private and Is only issued to members ofthe Exchange. The di- rectors of the Exchange claim that if all the agents would furnish complete reports and early notices of ejectment suits the list will prove of great value. The trouble is some agents furnish too mach and others too little advertising. It is alsosaid, but none of the Exchange members would admit it, that an agreement has been formed to sue parties leaving a house with an advantage on the agent of a few days which they refuse to par. Another point to be insisted on will be the thirty days’ notification * the tenant re- : Soir tnt eR ee own interests on the two latter points as they have always done heretofore. The street brokers, between whom and the big agents little love is lost, are going to take advantage ofthe Diacklist, itis claimed, to even up a few scores with their busi- ness antagonists. Jast how they are not explicit in deciaring. They say, however, that the Exchange’s plan i sdoomed to destruction and they will help on the dissolution. A street broker said this morning that the capitalists were abusing the poor men for forming unions and now they were forming a union themselves against the poor men. He saidthe biacklist would prove of. littie benefit, as those who were poor but honest could rent a shelter, while those who were dishonest could change their name as often as — pleased and rent as often as they pleased. To which a real estate agent said that it was his experience that there were hundreds of people who would cut him oat of his rent who could not afford to sail under an alias. A $45,000 DEAL. The business of the new year was opened in real estate circles this morning by the purchase of the Heideman-Benoist Saddlery Co. 's building at Twentieth and Locust streets by Mr. John E. Liggett for ,000. The deal was consummated by the Hammett-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. Mr. Wade says the property purchased by Mr. Liggett is a five-story structure on the southside of Locust street, nurobered 2016, 2018 and 2020, and cos ers a lot 50X 155 feet. The building adjoins the Hamilton-Brown shoe factory. The Heideman-Benoist compan will lease the property from Mr. Liggett an will continue to occupy it. CASEY AND RYAN WON, Judge Valliant’s Decision in the Elec tion Contests. Judge Valliant to-day decided the House of Delegates contest cases of Joseph L. Over- beck vs. Michael J. Casey and ot Cookley vs. Ryan. In both actions tke Court found for the contestees, who are now hold- ing the seats. The Overbeck-Casey contest was for the Seat for the Twenty- seventh Ward, and the oakley - Ryan contest was for the seat for the Twenty-ffth Ward. The contention in both cases was over the old question as to the legality ofthe ballots on which the voters failed toerase the name of the candidate in the column headed ‘‘electors.’’ In the opinion in the Overbeck-Casey case the Judge said that there were 860 ballots caston which the whole column, under the bead **Democratic’’ was scratched, while the column marked ‘‘Repubii can’’ and also the column marked ‘*Electors’’ were left unscratchea. Therefore, each of these ballots showed on ite face that the voter had voted for Over- beck on the Republican ticket and for Casey on the Independent ticket for the same On the official count by the Recorder of Voters and his assistants, those votes were rejected. The contestant con- tends that they should have been counted for him. The decision in this case depends upon whether those votes shouid be counted for the contestantor not. If he is entitied to have them counted for him, he is elected, otherwise not. The judge in his opinion, takes up seriatim, the contentions of Overbeck, and dweit upon the plea that the apparent Intention of the was to vote the Republican and that he fatleda scratch out the Independent ticket through an oversight. ‘*‘There is no rous N answers department hat lodged in the courts on the trials of contested elec. tion cases, and courts Cannot be too guarded against usurping powers in that respect, This court is now asked to declare that the electors who these ballots intended to do something that they did not do, it would be equivaient to now crossing out the Inde- Gendent ticket from the face of the ballot. Suppose a entof that kind should be set what limit would there be to powe ofcourts over elections?

Mechinand Mrs. Becker Have Departed From the Rose Fiat in New Tork and Succeeded in Eluding the Private Do- tectives After a Lively Chase—Where the Pair Generally Metin St. Louis. Mrs. Matthew Becker and Mr. Gus Mechin yesterday eluded the vigilance of the private detectives hired by Mr. Becker and escaped from the Rose flat, 264 West One Hundred and Twenty-third street, New York, where they were coralled. The couple and the children took a carriage and the horses were too fast for the detectives who attempted to follow, The last seen of them the carriage was in Central Park. Their present whereabouts are unknown. When a reporter called at Mrs. Mechin’s house, 80838 Washington avenue, this morn- ing, the lady was out. Her mother stated that upon tbe doctor’s advice she had gone Sos See — asfar as Grand avenue and MRS. MECHIN’S INDIFFEREXCE. Mrs. Mechin returned a few minutes later and smiled when asked if she had heard any - thing from Mr. Mechin. No, Ihave not, and do not care to, said the lady as she removed her wraps and bade the St. Charles spaniel which had been her companion during the walk to keep quiet. „Are you golng to sue for a divorce?’’ asked the reporter. Time will tell what Iam going to do,“ re- lied Mrs. Mechin. A great many of my riends ask me why I take the affair so philo- sophically. Why shoaldn’tlI? I know that he doesn’t care for me and have had since the 7th day of last April to be philosophical, so why shouldn't I be quiet about it? When he went away last April our rela- tions were pleasant; that is, there was no open break. He didn’t come one night ana I thought that strange, ashe had never staid away a night before unless away on bus! ness, and then, of course, I Knew he was out oftown. The next dayand night passed, and after fifteen nightsof waiting I closed the door and locked it. The next Gay 1 received a letter from him, It was dated at Canada. It sajd he was go- ing to begin life anew and a lot of stuf like that. I went down to see Judge Lubke— you know Canada is the place where all the rascals go. He was then attending to the Foerstel business. I asked Judge Lubke if he dad sent Mr. Mechin away. He said no. and I said, ‘* Well, he ls in Canada. Judge Lubke jumped four feet ana I gave ! A. few days later r 0. ere in New York, and Lawyer John &. Holmes went on there and brought htm and Mrs. Becker back. In the letter to me he failed to mention the fact that he had a lady with him, but I found out before he was brouglit back. The story about business for Mr. Gehner wasastory. When he came back they started to talk reconciliation with me. But I said no. If a man I have lived with for sixteen years runs away with an- other woman, I don’t wanttolive with him. It shows that he does not love me, and I cannot bring mens to the thought, much less the act, of remaining under the same roofwith him. I told themthat Iwas done with him, and I am. After they were brought back they went tolive forafew days in East St. Louis with his father, whois a jeweler. Then they furnished up a fiat, 80 am tola. on Missourl avenue, and after awhile Mrs. Becker wrote Mr. Becker asking him to take her back. Not one woman in 100 could live with Mechin and she will have to leave him n I blame Mr, Becker for taking her back. ut then,I sup- pose, he was thinking of the future of his children. I couldn’t blame him if he took a shotgun and blew Mechin’s head off. Mechin took u his residence at the Laclede Hotel after the Beckers became recon- clled. I have not spoken to him since and although we have passed each other on the street we have failed to recognize one another. Ithink the time they came back from New York the purpose of Mrs. Becker was to get the children, and Mechin’s to get all he could. There is nothing in this house he will get. Any presents made to me were made for keeps, as far as 1 am concerned, and Mr, Mechia does not get them back. They are under lock and key now. Then he entered that divorce suit in which he made himselfappear like an angel just ready for heaven and I was anything you might want to call me. He went out in the County to bring the suit and of course 1 had it brought back.to St. Louls. As to my being proper person, Mr. Mechin’s his sister’s child has been my charge for some time ana she is at present under this roof. She is a young girl ot 7. and if I am not a proper person, why does he leave her with me? She is very thoroughly disgusted with him. He has told all around town that he kept this house. Until be and his fascinating lady went away last April he did pay the rent, My mother paid the rest. She is paying it all now. I don't see what Gus Mechin wants with children; he doesn’t care for children. I Knowthat he doesn’t like anybody’s children. I don’t know the Becker woman, although lunderstand I have been introduced to her under another name. There is also another lady whose name Ido not know who has been sharing his affec tions. Mechin has made it appear as we have been at outs past three years. That is Ever since he joined the Masons aud has been in politics he has had to attend lodge meetings. Of course I supposed he was going to the lodge, but I now think the other member of his lodge was Mrs. Becker. The first I knew of the lady was when a re- rter called one night and said Mr. echin was gone with another woman, 1 did not know of it and only knew that he wasn’t home but telt like teiling him be was telling a lie when he told me what he did.

CHICAGO, III., Jan. 2.—- Judge Tut hill to-day in the Coughlin trial for the murder of Dr. Cronin overruled the objections of the de- fense to the introduction of testimony relative to the conversations and actions of the alleged conspirators other than Coughlin. Milkman Mertes, the witness who was brought from Wisconsin to repeat the testi- mony given for the State atthe former trial, was called to the ‘stand. He sald that on May 4, 1889, he saw a buggy driven tothe door of the Carlson cottage. In it were a young, slight man and a large man. The latter, he said, ran up the steps, unlocked the door and eatered, And that is the man I saw enter the cot- tage, said the witness, pointing at the de- fendant. : Coughlin looked stiaight into the witness’ eyes, Dut Mertes added: Tes, Coughlin is the man IE saw. I came by the cottage later and heard some ham- mering in there. The other. man in the buggy was John Kunze,“ Coughlin has in fregtent interviews de- clared Mertes a per uren Mestes’ testimony, except for the dramatic identification, was substantially the same as that he had given at the former trial. When he had concluded his story Judge Wing ¢@onducted a searching cross-examination., John Kunze, at the farmer trial, was con- victea with Coughlin, Burke and O'Sullivan, Dut was sentenced to three years imprison- ment while the others got life sentences. Kunze is now in Chicago. HUNTED FOR YEARS, — An Alleged Insurance Swindler Turned Up in Idaho. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan, It is reported here to-day that u detectivé has located John W. Hillmon, the insurance swindler, at Paris, Idaho. This makes the-eleventh time that Hillmon bas been reported turned up““ by agents and secret service men of the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New Vork, dut in ton of these eleven times, Hilimon has faded out of sight. Nothing Gaboriau ever wrote rivalled in weird interest the story of ‘*Wes’’ H- mon’s famous insuranee conspiracy, as in- surance men call it. Hillmon was born in Indiana in 1845, and was about years old at the time he was reported to have been accidentally near Medicine Lodge, . 2 October, ed Sally Quin. At that time de iS ure for $20,000 in the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York and the Connecticut Mutual Life. Four months later he started over the plains for Wichita in a “prairie schooner,’’ obstensibly to estab- lisharanch. A few weeks later he returned to Lawrence, Kan., and paid up another quarter’s premium on his policies and took out $5,000 more iu the New york Life. He had never been vaccinated, and until that had been done the New York Life would not issue apolicy. He was vaccinated, and after a fortnight again started out on his trip, ac- companied by his partner in the cattle-driv- ing business, John H. Brown, and a young man of the name of Walters, a cigar-maker, whom he had hired to go on a ranch. A few weeks later Brown returned and told a story tothe effect that while camping out near Medicine Lodge he had accidentally shot Hillmon through the head and knled him and had buried him. Then it was that Hillmon’s friends and neighbors at Lawrence first learned of his having his life heavily insured. Levi Baldwin, a cousin of Hilmon’s wife and a close triend of the alleged dead man, came forward with the policies which he claimed to have taken out. As Baldwin was a Dank- rupt at the time the matter was looked upon with suspicion. The authorities decided to hunt up the body to see that no swindle had been perpetrated. The body was taken to Lawrence. The first sensation after that was in the disappearance of Brown, who ran away. The next was the appearance of mother, brother, sister and sweetheart and young Walters, all of whom positively identified the body as that of Walters. Walters was 22 years old, dark complexion and 6 feet 2 inches in height and with sound teeth.@Hillmon was 6 feet 8 inches in height, 34 years old and with irregular teeth. Hillmon’s wife identified the body as that of her husband by a scar from the vaccination which had been per- formed a few weeks prior to his death. y- sictans claimed that the scar on the dead man’s arm was the result of a vaccination made less than two weeks before death, The face and hair of the dead man had been burned beyond recognition. Then began the bitter legal fight which has not yet ended. Brown got scared and wrote tothe insurance people from Missouri that for $2,000 he would tell the whole story. They secured an affidavit from him to the effect that the whole matter had deen planned months before, Hillmon’s first start towards Wichita had been made inthe expectation of finding a corpse on the plains onthe trailof some of the long immigrant trains, as a result of exposure to the **northers’’ or from other cause—a not un- frequent occurrence at that time of the year in that locality. He failed and returned to Lawrence to get a corpse. He hired Waiter, paving him much larger wages than other men in the same line of work received, He insisted on Walters being vaccinated, telling him that unless he was he ran a great risk among the Indians, where small-pox was frequentand virulent. Walters finally con- sentedand Hillmon vaccinated the young man from the virus of hisown arm with the point of his knife. Two trials were bad at Leavenworth before Judge David 8. Brewer inthe United States Circuit Court, and to both cases the jury failed to agree. Inthe meantime Baldwia, Mrs, Hilimon’s cousin, ran away, and urs. Baldwin, according to statements made by the insurance companies, got frightenea and ato surrender the policies which were in her hands if she was I immunity from arrest. Ihis she did. She received no consideration for the policies and the con- tract was but a verbalone, and her lawyers persuaded her that it was not valid, and again she went on with her euit, which she won. New evidence was discovered tenning to show that Hillmon was alive and in Texas. Dr. Phillips testified underoath that in 1878 Levi Baldwin had sald to him: Doc, wouldn't u be a good scheme to get your lite insured for all you could and then some one to represent you as dead and p out for some safe place? It could be done like a top.“ : : It was only a short time after this that Baldwin and Hillmon took out the insurance ictes, Ge the p to the United evidence from ¢ wee as ithe tn- E surance companies are concerned t now hinges on the ; | — te'bava moa cng cores | Secretary Lindhorn Said to Have Them BOOKS GONE. | Blackstone Building and Loan Association Records Missing. — N 1 5 ASSIGNEE SIEGMUNRD TRYING TO GET.

The police have for tome time past had the majority of the rank and file of Anarchists in custody, but the most dangerous leaders of these pests of so- ciety have in several cases succeeded in eluding the police. Among these An- archists still at large and very much wanted by the authorities was a notorious and ex- cessively violent Anarchist known as Salva- dor Franch. This man, strongly suspected of being con- cerned in the Liceo Theater dynamite bomb outrage, vanished from Barcelona im- mediately after that crime was committed and all efforts to find him proved fruitiess, though the police frequently came upon histrafl. Franch seemed to be kept well informed as to the movement of his pursuers and frequently escaped nen they were about to place hands upon him. This series of almost miraculous escapes impressed the police with the belief that the Anarchists were able to optain in- some of the most secret a s of the authorities. The result was a searching and thorougd in- ves tion, and several members of the Bar- cel n penal After this cleansing of the Barcelona secret lice force the authorities found them. selves much stre bened after the arrest of im t Anarc was made; but Franch stilt remained at large, though the police anxious to capture him than It is known, for instance, that Salvador Franch had planned and almost suc- ceeded in executing an attempt to biow up a portion of the at Barcelona, where the ty of that city were confined. nipped in the bud by the police, who arrested a number of the conspirators,though Franen succeeded in making one of his usually very clever esca > 22 An- y gain yesterday in a house situated in a quiet and highly respectable quarter of Sar- agossa. The ice then made the most careful and thorough preparations to capture tne long-wanted Anarchist. A strong force of policemen in plain clothing during the day, fow ata time, were distributed so as to gradually surround the house and, in addi- tion, asthe hour for making the attempted capture drew near, a detachment of police in uniform was sent to the spot and the po- lice net was ye closed around the house where the notorious Anarchist had sought refuge. Slowly Dut surely the net was closed, the police entered the house unobserved, am a number of the most daring of the officers suddenly burst in the door of the room occu- pied by Franch, and, revolver in hand, dashed into the apartment and called upon the Anarchist to surrender, at the same t covering bim with their pistols. Franch, though taken by surprise, drew a se was upon the point ot killing the eaderof the lice, when he rapidly — his mind, and, turning the pistol toward his own right side, he shot himself beneath the arm. The movement, however, had been noticed by the police, and they grappled with him in time to prevent the anarc from killing himself, though the bullet which he fired into his side penetrated his chest, but the leaden missile came out again three inches from the spot where it entered his chest, A terrible struggle between the policemen and Anarchist followed, the officers of the law being covered with \blood dy the time they were able to reduce the desperate man to anything like subjugation.

Bosvox, Jan. 2.—For the second time in ita |njetory the elezant Globe Theater, now owned by Mr. John Stetson, and up to last night occupied temporarily by the Henions’ Superba company, has fallen a victim to fire. At one time it seemed as if a repetition of Boston’s typical big fires was imminent, but by. good management on the part of the fre department the loss was restricted to the theater building, tue brick structure adjoin- ing Called the Globe Cafe, the new building building owned by the Bryant & Stratton College and the R. k. Allen clothing store. When the first alarm was sounded from the Globe Theater special box, according to the watchman, there was a blaze about the size of a man'shand issuing from the basement. In less time than it took even the nearest fire engine to arrive the whole interior of the fine play house was a roaring mass of flames, the inflammable nature of the“ Superba sen- ery and properties feeding the fire. Every now and then explosi shook the ground and waked the residents of the vicin- ity, who not yet become aware of the By this time three more alarms had been rapidly sentin. The fire quickly spread to the Globe Cafe and the aajvining buildings above mentioned, The hotels opposite, notably the Reynolds and Clark’s, as son as the situation was ap- ted, w open their doors for the re. ception of. such — — could be rescued ccom and for thea might be burned out. t Orst entertained that the fre might jump across the narrow street and communicate with the hotels, and hundreds of guests prepared to leave their rooms at a moment's notice. From the windows of them buildings the sight of the raging confla tion opposite was grand inthe extreme. Huge tongues of flame and millions of sparks from the conta - gration shot straight into the air for a height of 200 feet. Ever and anon in the tremendous confusion would come an explosion from one of the hydrogen tanks used by the Superba y. Atso’clock the fire in the center of the playhouse had been — out, and on the Es- sex street side the fre was practically ex- tinguished, there being no jsigni it save a mass Of water-soaxed andsmok* ‘timbers. At 3:80 o’clock the fire was conh... ‘*o the cafe back of the theater. The »&. sta decorations held the flames, and the fin. had to tear them to pieces in order to ge. * the Dleze.

PECULIAR POINT Raised in the Trig] of a Soldier for Murder. From the New York Times. The case of Sergt. Linse, whieh has re- cently been taken upinthe United States District Court of Utah, deals witha point of interest tothe army. Linse was ordered to ar- rest a citizen and ex-soldier named Leonard, who was driving recklessly within the Umits of Camp Douglas, and when Leonard re- sisted arrest the Sergeant shot and killed him. Linse was tried dy general court-mar - tial for manslaughter, and was acquitted on the ground of having acted in the line of duty. Afterward he was indictea in the civil courts and Capt. eee! ay his counsel, argued that he had already been tried once and could not be putin jeopardy a second time for the same offense. Chief Justice Zane decided, accordingto the report, that the Territorial Court had no jurisdiction. How. ever, it is now stated that on the following day an indictment for murder was found against Sergt. Linse and others by a jury of the same court, sitting as a United States Court, and the plea already spoken of was again made, and was over- ruled by Judge Zane. The report of the first decision created some stir in army circies, from the weight it seemed to give to the find- ings of courts-martial. But the ruling un- der the final indictment follows, asthe Army and Journal points out, the established decisions. What She Wanted. From the New York Times. A child’s whims and fancies are beyond the comprehension of the most sympathetic fol- lowing of an older person. One little girl an- nounced early and often that the strings of her heart were bound around the not un- usual desire of her sex and age—a new doll. If Santa Claus would so far listen to her plead - ings, nothing more was asked or expected. That doll became a household word, the sym- bol of all longed-for good things and of an anxious waiting. A generous uncle, with whom the family were to spendthe holidays, beg rmis- sion to supply this long-felt want. ‘‘l can scarcely walt to see the dear littie creature’ s yes sparkle when Iputit into ber arms, he said sentimentally. Christmas morning came, and the heavily-laden tree awaited them in another room as they finished their breakfast. The uncle called the one child to him. Well, Katie dear, he be „ witha wheedling tone and witha foolish smile of anticipation, ‘‘What do yuu want to find for you, perched upon the boughs of that won- Gerful Christmas tree? What should you like best?“ The little girl put her finger to her lip and stood, reflecting deeply, beside his chair. After some seconds of silence she said in a slow, deliberate tone: I—think— I'd like a plano.“ The smiling uncle turned his face aside and sunk his head, Oh, thun- der!“ he gasped.

A PRECIPITOUSLY WALLED VALLEY SIXTY MILES LONG. Annual Procession cf the Herds and Herd Girls to the Mountains—Lonely but Loving Luft, Together—Curious Testoral Scenes in This Rugged Land. Special Correspondence rosr-Disrarcn Lonpor, Dec. 20.—To the traveler in Norway the impression is constantly recurring that the country possesses the greatest amount of majestic scenery and the fewest people of any babitable land on the face ofthe globe. Porhaps this feeling is strongest with the wanderer on foot along the mountain high- ways. What might be termed the super- abundance of nature’s tremendous specta- cles often saddens and even appalls the spec- tator, who finds scant relief in human con- tact or even in that scenic contrast which provides repose from awe-inspired emotions. These panoramas of nature have been pro- vided in such vast proportions and are so endless in number, that something like headacbe and heartache follow the un- relieved emotional tension. One involun- tarily cries out in the surfeit of it all for res - pite; just as one whohas passed with jun- wrecked mind throughthe mountain-height spiritual and sound tornadoes of Wagner’s **Parsifal,’’ at Bayreuth, feels that reason might be easily dethroned if the human gayeties of Berlin and Paris were not con- vientiy near to assist in speedy restoration. Without a companion I should have de- spaired of tramping more than from one dreary station to another. Indeed I find I love best the lands of people, of activities and homes. The mile-posts, as would be re- marked in dear old Ireland, are too far apart in Norway. There is too much of frozen eld and giacier-peaked mountain between ciusters ot homes. And when, after always journeying long and far, you come upon hu- man kind. while you certainly meet honest folk, hospitable folk and, universally, folk possessing extraordinary virtues of mind and character, you still detect the ineffable sadness and appalling loneliness of sur- rounding nature refiected in their Yaces; as you will find, the world over, vacuous mea- geroess transmitted from changeless sur- roundings into the natures and faces of all human stand-stills and stay-at-homes. Whenever I close my eyes and see Norway and her people in retrospect, both seem to blend in solidified strata of perspective. Down there, almost on the sea level in the lower valleys, are the scant folk with solemn faces and solemn ways; so measured and ex- acting in tollor pleasure that they suggest huge lichens which have clung through the storms of ages to the mountain bases of stone. The next stratum is an intermingling of forest, rock, moraine and waterfall, the latter so stupendous and fieecy that they seem like shattered descending glaciers, ar- rested in their headlong course and frozen into a white so wondrous that no earthly art ean attain its purity. Above this is a thin layer of humans and herds, the very color of the snow-streaks and rock-grays inter- spersed—the saeter folk and their flocks,that pass the brief summer thousands of feet above their kin and King. Then come the measureless fjelds, rock and ice fields of ut- ter solitude and desolation, the whole crowned by countless ghostly peaks of ice, far above the clouds, an awful realm of frozen silence between the last vestige of nature-life and the eternal infinite. I had penetrated to the mysterious ‘‘eagle- nest“ farms above the clouds, and now I de- sired to see something of saeter life in the same lofty regions. Descending the lordly Romed@al, the most wonderful of all Norwe- xian valleys, partly by carriole and partly on foot, irom Halaker to Veblungsn@s, 1 came upon the jolliest skydsgut or post- boy I had foundinall Norway, tow-headed, big- eyed, open-mouthed Lars Petersen, or Peter Larsen, I am not sure which. Tramping alone had become insufferable. Fora triuing consideration I purchased the companion- ship and willing services of Lars fora period often days. He had deen taught English- at school, had been four years a post-boy,. com- ing in contact In that period with thousands ofkEnglishmen and Americans; though not 16 years Of age he was as strong as an ox and nimble asadeer; and, while rippling and running over witha gurgling and boundless 2 nature, had a Mark Tapley sort of phil- osophy for all unpleasant emergencies anda ready back door out of every exasperating dimiculty. The Romsdal is a tremendous gorge or gully from 2,000 to 4,000 feet deep, and from fifty to sixty miles in length, cutting through some ofthe highest mountains and the greatest snow and ice fields orf Norway. Along most of its length walls rise on either side precip- itously upward of 3,000 feet; and over these pitch waterfalls got by the dozen or half dozen, but by the score, most of them hav- ing a sheer fall for their entire descent. These feed and increase the volume of the Rauma River, along which winds the high- way, that nearly the whole distance foams and tumbles and roars in noisy turbulence on its northwest course to the ford of Molde andthe sea. Itshould be called the somber Vale of Waterfalls. There is nothing to com- pare with it in any part of the explored globe. We loitered atthe Sletta Foss, where the Rauma itself tumbles into the valley, be- tween Stuefiallen and Ormein Stations; at the triple Vermedals Foss; and passed days of pleasure was wonder between Ormein and Horgheim,where there are hundreds of these watet marvels, varying from 500 to 8.000 feet in fall, and where at one place I counted fifty-three in fall view atone time; saw the timy Dontefossen which, directly at the roa dside, tumbles 3,700 Norsk feet; and, when opposite the giant Romsdal born or peak, neur the picturegque Station of Ro@Jningen, led by merry Lars, we took a mountain path towards the upland Alnesdal District, still above which Lars promised to bring me to sowe of the wildest and loneliest saeters of Norway. It is no easy task to climb to these saeters, Some are from twenty to sixty miles from the valley hamlets and farms. Those we sought were 2 no more than twelve miles distant from the Romsdal highwuy, bat certainly more than twicethat distance by the circuitous and tortuous way. The path was plain enough to Lars, as to all these Norwegian ——— climbers, and to the ponies used to Carry supplies to the saeters and bring back again their pack-loads of butter and cheese; butastranger to these ravines and crags would have n irre- trievably lost after a half-day’s wandering. As it was, we were obliged to ss a night beside a lonely tarn shut in by biack walls. tenes * peaks for the only outlook eyond, Here Lars’ —— for sur mounting dimcui- ties was iliastrated. We had brought a little food. During the last two hours’ ascent Lars had gathered here and there every dead branch of wood that came in sight, as well as bunehes of juniper branches. These with his tollxniv,which every peasant carries, and some bits of strongcord which every post- 5 possesses with which to mend broken harness, he arran in compact bunches, bestowing them on his head, shoul- ders and body until he was completeiy hid- den from sight. With the dry wood he built a cheery fire. The juniper branches provided our bed, which was laid 128 snug angle of a projecting rock. A traveling rug and a stout carriole blanket formed our covering, and here beneath the glilttering stars we **slept swate rings round our beads, as the Irish mother would say of her healthfally sleeping child, The next morning our ascent was resumed through holiows, over ridges where ice and snow lay concealed beneath thin layers of black sediment and slime, around soundless tarns still and dark as the them, past copses of never asight of a liv amazing sicht tome Is the t pat most 5 of that — aeeie e needed sont to go all other cattle, all occasionally these w rude dairies combined, w folk, who are invariably women and girls, live entirely alone in this — — isolation, while caring for the herds, milking the cows, goats and even ewes, and converting the milk into butter and cheese for the winter eee the valley homes, often scores of miles away. There ts tcommotion throughout Nor- way when the annual June exodus of the saeter-girls and their herds begins. Every farm is in utmost confusion. The entire household is busied getting together and packing up what will be necessary for use in the temporary mountain home. There are churns and milk pails, pots and moulds, — * ing - pans and odds and ends of cheap crock- ery and scant cutlery. For food there isa bit of sugar and coffee, much flour and fladb 0 some some dried or pickied meal, crates of bacon, perhaps fish, and, more in weightthan in all else, salt for the cattie. The girls themselves find room for odd bits of embroidery anda few knick-knacks, while a Bible and some worn volumes of old Norse tales are never for gotten. Besides these things, there are pounds of wool to be spun, or other pounds of yarn to be knit. A few blankets or sheep- skin for bedding and but little more than tke clothing upon their backs completes the meagre outnt. When ali is in readiness these stranre pro- cessions—something like the annual outgoing of the flocks and their herders of the Apulian plains tn Southern Italy—set forth from eve rd or farm in Norway. The belone- ings for the saeter are slung in baskets upon the backs of sure-footed ponies, or old horses that have known the same journey for de- cades. The farmer marches in aavance blowing unearthly Diasts from the liar, a not over-musical horn made from birch bark. Then come the cattle. No need to drive these. Like the Gypsies who cannot be kept from the road and the tent at the tirst bursting of spring time buds, they have tired of their reindeer- moss fodder of the winter, bave scented the juicy blades that are springing to life in the tiny far vales above them, and, with genuine manifestations of joy, crowd close upon the farmer and his biaringlur. Then follow the saeter-giris, picturesque in their bright bodices, white caps and short skirts, but each bearing upon her shoulders a yoke, from which depend Daskets, kettles and all man- ner of paraphernalia, almost equaling in — and weight the packs upon the ponies’ acks. Towards evening of the second day we came to the saeter of Kron. From a distance nothing could be distinguished but a low, wide hut at the side of a gentle ravine, here and there between the rocks splatched with bits of verdure. The horizon line was close and serrated with masses of lichened stone, here and there intersected by other gullies and ravines. Through these, Lars said, the heards wandered long distances in their Gally grazing jaunts. No human beings were at Urst in sigut about the saeter. Shortly a flaxen-haired maiden, huge of girth and limb, stood at the hut oor, and shading her eyes with her great bare arm aud not her hand, looked long and earnestiy at us. Lars gurgied at this, and made wonderful gestures inreturn. Sud- denly the girl—Tillie, Lars called her—rushed atusinasortof bounding gallop, and seiz- ing my post-boy guide hugged him ecstati- cally, wrestling with him, turning him round and about, and again hugging him, while tears of joy floweu down her honest face, a perfect torrent of questions and interjec- tions meantime being poured upon him. The rascal, Lars, who had previously kept mein ignorance of the fact, then told me that the saeter-glel. Tillle, was his only sis- ter. A cousin, Christine, as littie as Tillie was big, was her companion; for two women were required at the Kron saeter,there being altogether thirty cattle, three-fourths of which were milch cows, and as many more sheep and goets to care for, and so ina few moments no stranger was there, but all were best of friends. So glorious a treat to these lonely folk is the arrival of friends or kin from the world below, thr.t all manner of hospitality is lavished upon them, All they have is yours without the asking. The cows might come or stay in the mountain fastnesses, until we were given our drink of milk, and drink and drink again we must; water for washing; some curious old half- wooden shoes to replace our heavy boots; andsuch an aftensmad or supper as was never before plied up before me partaken of; groed or stirabout enough for the saeter’s plgs; cream by the gallon, butter by the hundred weight; milk by the barrel; great wooden bowls of fordbaert or strawberries; coffee and black bread and bacon; while we were plied ceaselessly with importunate commands to eat and never stop eating and beset with mournful reproofs because we could not eat it al}. Ihe saeter house or cabin itself was rudely constructed of pine logs, though comfort- uble enough for the purpose required. Its roof was of pine beams sheathed with birch bark in many layers,and this overlaid by turf andsod. In the latter several species of mountain brambles and flowers were grow ing luxuriously. There were two iarge rooms, perhaps twenty feet in length and nearly as wide, and against the whole of one side of the structure was a huge low shed, where the herds huddled in time of long- continued storm. One of the two rooms was kitchen, living and sleeping room combined. Two holes in the house wall and the open door served for admitting light, and there were no candles, lamps or ianterns about the place, as bedtime always comes long be- fore night time inthe almost nightiess Nor- Wweglan summer. The table was simply a huge high bench. Stvols and short benches answered for chairs, a few shelves resting on pegs, and a large rough cupboard for holding food and provis- ions, with a bunk bed built in one corner, comprised all the furniture of the living rooms, aside from a large skorsten or fire- place in another corner, opposite the door, with its accompaniment of tron utensils, and a little crockery ranged upon shelves at its side. The other room was the dairy. In this was a fire- place, suspended above which was a huge cauldron Kettle; and near this was a dotier built in the wall in which the milk was heated to a curd and is finally moulded in the most primitive fashion, by stone weights, into mysost or cheese, the whey being fed to the svin or pigs, or, car- ried in krukker or kegs and flasks, when not too remote, to the valley homes below. Vessels containing milk and cream were ranged along high, strong benches. Two high, Keg-like churns, a number of whey- flasks, cheese inthe process of curing, and empty molds, kegs filled with butter, and empty Kegs, milking pails, the krak or milk- ing stool, skimmers and numerons other rude but ample appliances of the dairy were cumbrously but conveniently disposed, and everything was cool, dry, sweet and clean. In her innocent and boundless hos- pitality Lars’ sister was determined that we should occupy the girls’ bed, while they slept upon the floor beside us; but we com- promised by making ourown couch of rein- deer moss upon the sacter floor; and passed three nights in this pecullariy informal manner, the girls using every artifice and entreaty to persuade us to longer remain. In the meantime in company with Tillie and Christine we visited a few of the neigh- boring saeters. The arrangement, belong ings and customs at all were precisely alike. At night the giris call the herds from the mountains with peculiar penetrating calls and songs. As they approach, each cow, goat or sheep is addressed by name, each name ending with the Norsk syliable ros, a te of endearment; and each animal is re warded bya bit of saft licked from the saeterr girl’s capacious hand. The threnody of the musical little bells with which the herds are provided, intensified by the echoing rocks and rare mountain alr, is a melodic experience never to be forgotten. Each animal stands demarely at milking, night and morning, until the signal for its liberty is given by the saeter-girl briskiy * its 8 m- A FAMILY AFFAIR Mrs. William P.

Borrowing a fazzolet I tried to yend it over the hackee’s head, as a means of occecation. The agriculior aided. He was not attractive, seeming crapulous and not unlike a pica- roon.

How They Cured Him. From the Atlanta Constitution. ‘*‘Thnirteen years ago, said a well-known gentleman this morning, ‘‘I was worth 320.000. The money was inherited from an uncle, I wasas poor as a church mouse be- fore the legacy came, and when it did come it turned my head. I began drinking moder- ately at home and took occasional sprees in neighvoring towns. It was not long before I was a slave to drink. Every week I was on a spree. For six years I paid no attention to business, lost everything and was a con- firmed drunkard. One night after havin been on a long spree ina town near home, lay down on the sidewalk in front of a store and was soon fast asleep. I was helpless and coulc not speak. **Afterawhile I heard some boys talking. They said they would give me a free ride. Shortly afterward a hogshead was rolled up to where was. The head was knocked out. The boys — me in the hogsnead by force. I was es ess and would not speak. After nailing the head bac in the hogshead the boys rolled me over town. I was carried ata fast speed over gulleys, bridges and stumps. The sosing was terrible, and I was bruised all over. For over over an hour the rollin was kept up. Finally I grew sober and call tor help. Iden the boys removed the head from the hogshead and left me. did not know that I could get out and remained in the hogshead all night. Next — — 1 saw the sun rising and a wd gathered around me. I was sore all over and could not bear to move. I was sober and ashamed of myself. I asked the people to help me out of the hogshead.

Several Gays after his arrival at his home, the several members of the family detected the smell of smoke at frequent intervals.

The Post-DisPaTou trusts.that no friend of Ed Butler will lay to his soul the flatter- ing unction that this newspaper means to condone his offenses against good morals and good government in this town. We have said he is a good-natured professional boss and lobbyist who is in politics for the money he can make; who sells his influence as a commodity; who is only responsible in a secondary sense as an agent and not asa principal, for the fact that self-government in St. Louis is a farce. All that is perfectly true, but the fact that itis true does not change in the least the opinion of the Posr-Disrarok that Ed Butler ought to be locked up and kept locked up as an example to other pro- fessional lobbyists who sell themselves to the franchise-grabbers and privilege- thieves who have been robbing the people of St. Louis these many years. There are men who have held the highest positions in this community, who are still put forward as the leading and repre- sentative citizens of the community, in comparison with whose guilt, treachery and venality that of Ed Butler is as noth- ing. Forheisamere publican and sin- ner, while they are enlargers of phylac- teries who love the highest places in the assemblies and to be called of men ‘‘mas- ter“ and ‘‘Honorable.’’ It is not that Ed Butler is less a corrup- tionist, but that these men who have hired him and prompted him in his evil courses are a hundred times more so. — — . — The price of the daily Post · Dio patoꝭ rom newsdealers and newsboys is 2 cents per copy; Sunday, Scents.

Should there be no provision made for an income tax, the country may suffer a good deal of inconvenience; but let no pa- triot become despondent if he should per- ceive any inclination on the part of our statesmen to seek some other mode of re- lieving our plundered and embarrassed Government, No one really doubts the fairness of such a tax, unless it be Uncle Russell Sage, who, however, has recently met with pe- cuniary reverses in court, and might not take this view of the scheme had he been more prosperous. We are all influenced at times by adversity. But we may never see this fair and just tax imposed. Its friends did not realize, when they pro- posed it, that, fair as it is, it would plunge every man with a large income into a slough of prevarication, en- dangering his immortal soul, and so. torturing his conscience that even his peace on earth would be sacrificed to the necessity of deceiving the tax-gath- erer. Thousands of these gentlemen who have deceived the taxing powers of cities and States in regard to the amount of their personal property now shudder at the thought of misrepresenting their incomes. They cannot bear to think of the lying that would be done by some men under an income tax law. They wonder how the payers of income tax in Great Britain bear the burden of sin, and doubtless conclude that the islanders are in some way hard- ened by long practice, such as it would be impossible for an American rich man, the father of whose country was George Waah- ington himself, to survive, The protests of these worthy and wealthy citizens show a surprising and altogether unexpected de- gree of virtue.

In his interview on the subject of an in- come tax he says: It has always been argued against this system of taxation that it does not beneGt the people at large oth- erwise than assisting in defraying the ex- penses of the Government, and is, of course, on that account inferior-to other | systems of taxation,’’ The important point in this statement is the inference that there are systems of tax- ation which benefit the people at large. If this be true and ex-President Harrison has the knowledge of such a system he has the greatest boon that can be conferred upon any people who are living under a form of organized government. The whole expe- rience and the aggregate of knowledge of the human race on the subject of taxation compel the conclusion that taxation isa necessary evil and burden, The chief aim and effort of enlightened statesmanship, whenever it has been subject to popular accountability, have been to reduce this evil to a minimum and as far as possibile to devise schemes to relieve the people of tax burdens, The people who have paid the taxes have utterly failed to find any bene- fits flowing from them and have demanded even to the point of revolt that they be levied on the basis of the strictest econ- omy. The best result that has been required of any tax system is that it shall bring the greatest revenue with the least hardship to the people least able to bear it. This the income tax does. The tariff tax on the other hand in the form indorsed by Mr. Harrison reverses this rule and raises the least revenue with the greatest hard- ship to those least able to bear it. But Mr. Harrison intimates that there are systems of taxation which actually benefit the people. This statement indi- cates one of two things: Either Mr. Har- rison has false notions about taxation or he has knowledge of a system of taxation not known to any other man. In the one case he can not be trusted and in the other the country can not do without his coun- sel and direction. Mr. Harrison should explain. nnn — —„— — BUDDING AND SPROUTING. Boston has invented a new society wrin- kle which bids fair to spread through the circles of the upper ten from one end of the country tothe other. Itis a pink tea for the purpose of bringing out the male so- ciety debutant, and corresponds with the ‘*bud’’ party of the girls. One of the frills of this fad is to have ten nice men“ do the ‘‘receiving.’’ The idea is an insidious but long step in the direction of the perfect equality of the sexes and reflects credit upon Boston’s massive intellectuality and fin de siecle culture. But Boston has failed to round out its invention by giving a name to the male thing making its debut to distinguish it from the female thing making its debut. The giri debutante is known as a ‘‘bud;’’ but it would be manifestly improper to call the boy debutant a ‘‘bud.’’ The word *‘bud’’ not only conveys the idea of freshness but of beauty, which in the case of the new boy in society might be visibly inappropriate. Of allthe suggestions of designations which ocour as available none seem to fit so nicely the descriptive and definitive de- mands of the thing itself as the term ‘*gpront.’’ The word ‘‘sprig’’ might serve, but itis usedinageneral way to describe a green young thing of all varie- ties of the human family. ‘‘Sprout’’ is a more specific term. The dictionary de- scribes ‘‘Bruseels sprouts’’ as having small green heads, each a cabbage in miniature. The description accurately fite not merely the sprouts of Brussels, but of Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, or any other large city. The ‘*bud’’ and ‘‘aprout’’ come out at the same time. Society, therefore, can find no better names for ite tender sprigs of male per- suasion than ‘‘sprouts.’’ Let St. Louis grasp the honor of naming this new prod- uct of Boston’s fertile brain and let every bud“ inthe garden of society have a **eprout.’' Tat is a truly sensational appointment Boss Croker has just brought about in New York.

The porth dock is 1,840 feet by 280 feet; the mid dock 1,150 feet by 225 feet, and the south dock 800 feet by 225 feet, Just in front of them is a turning basin of which the measurement from side to side is not less than 1,888 feet. In such a basin the Great Eastern could have swuag round with the greatest ease. At Cornbrook there are four docks, one 700 feet long, two of 600 feet, and one oF 860 feet. About a dozen large sheds have been built forthe accommoda- tion of goods, whether to be sent abroad or distributed in the district of which Manchester is the center. One ot the sheds at Cornbrook is meant forthe storage of fruit, of which the ports onthe Mediter- ranean promise great supplies. In this short notice of the dock areas should be mentioned the Trafford Road Swing Bridge, which weighs no less than 1,800 tons. Four railway companies are now. or shortly will de, in direct communication with the docks. it wasintheearly half of the eighteenth century that the project of a ship canal from Liverpool to Manchester was first broached. After 1825 there was a long interval in which the canal project slumbered. George Stephenson came on the scene and built the Manchester & Liverpool railway. Quickly the iron roads covered the surface of the country and Manchester goods found abund- ant markets which might be reached with ease and speed. The next inqulry of which we have record was held in 1846, but that does not appear to have been a serious affair. There came another riod of depression about 1877, and the Manchester Chamber of Commerce passed a resolution declaring that an improved waterway would be of the greatest service to the trade and interests of the district. The trade lookout was bad when, in 1882, Dantel Adamson called the famous meeting of mayors of Lancashire and Cheshire towns, together with some seventy leading merchants, manufacturers and public men.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.— The drawings for a novel invention were flled a few days since in the Patent Office, Itis nothing less than an automatically returnable umbrella. The invention does not differ essentially in appearance from the ordinary umbrella ex- cept that it bas a stouter handle. Therein ig concealed the working part of the device. It isa compactly arranged phonograph, witha multiplyiag reverberator, that can be heard a distance of from fifteen to twenty-five feet. In connection with the phonograph is a com- bination lock, which sets the machine for action. The owner of the umbrella, on set- ting it down, simply switches on the combdt- nation and as soon as it is picked up the phonograph gets in its work. The remarks can be arranged according to the taste of the man who owns the umbrella and can range from a politely couched request not to disturbthe rain protector toa sten- torian cry of ‘‘stop thief’’ or this fellow is stealing another man’s umbrella, or any other exclamation of a more forcible nature, WINDOW BREAKERS Smash Glass in Niehaus’ Jewelry Store and Diel’s Hat Store. About 1 o’clock thls morning two unknown miscreants Ofreda large stone through the 5x12-foot plate glass window inthe front of F. H. Niehaus’ jewelry store, No. 1302 Frank- lin avenue. The large window was com- pletely shattered and the plate glass shelves within and the articles thereon that had been left in tne show window were ruined. The damage will amount to at least $150. A hot tamale man who passed the store just before the occurrence saw the af- fair from the next corner. He says both men were of medium size, one Wearing a light sack coat anda light hat, and the other a dark coat and a derby. Neither wore overcoats. he vender of the Mexican delicacies quickly informed a policeman, Dut the offenders had made good their escape. Mr. Niehaus says this is the fourth time within two years that this same thing has 191 and though he thinks it was done by some enemies of his, he has no clew as to who they are. Since the last time it occurred he had large iron guards put over the windows, but 2 this did not prevent a repetition of the affair. : Mr. Niehaus’ glass was probably broken for the purpose of robbery. There were thirty- Ave pairs of opera Slasses in the window, and the thieves are supposed to have been after them. The family who reside above, however, heard the crash and rusbed down- 3 before the thieves could secure any- bing. The jewelers are beginning to get fright- ened over tle prospect of having all their windows broken. Last week, it willbe re- membered, L. Bauman & Bros. were the victims of a similar outrage. On last Saturday night the large plate- glass window in front of Geo. Diel & Bro. 's store, just across the way from Mr. Niehaus’ estab- lishment, was broken. In that instance, however, the glass was fractured by a bullet instead ofa stone. This is also the fifth or sixth time this has happened to them, but still they have mo clew to the man’s identity. — SIGNIFICANT ELECTION. Is the Vandalia About to Be Sold to the Fennsylvania?

It has their entire sympathy, but it is gen- erally feared that owning to the difficulty of securing an appropriation sufficient for the purpose but little toward accomplishing the much needed reform will result. Last Saturday a number of the ladies inter- ested in the movement, headed by Mrs, John W. Noble, presented Mayor Walbridge with a memorial requesting him to give the matter his earnest’ con- sideration. The evils ‘of the practice prevelling in the holdover of confinin 4 children not proven guilty o n the same piace criminals, was spec- lally upon. The memorial was framed only after the ladies had made several visies to each of the.institutions in question and had carefully inspected the existing conditions in each. CHIEF HARRIGAN FAVORS IT. In speaking of the matter this morning Chief of Police Harrigan said: This is a commendable move and one in the right direction. I shall personally only be too glad to lend it my assistance in any way pos- sible. There is urgent need for some reform in this matter, and none realize this more than the police themselves, who are brought directiy in touch with the existing evils at the Four Courts almost everymour. Before any move towards a remedy can be made, more accommodations must be se- cured. As we are at present situated expe- rience has shown it to be absolutely impossi- ble toimprove upon the system at present in vogue. As suggested, the old hospital in the rear of the jail would mare good quarters if improved and properly fixed up, and I know of no more cneap or more ayalil- able plan. To do this it would be neces- sary to secure an appropriation sufficiently large, a very, very difficult thing to accom. plish, I fear. Still, we hope for the best, and our sympathies are with the work under- taken by the ladies interested. They may succeed where men would fail.“ RECOGNIZES THE NECESSITY. Jaller Kraemer echoes the sentiments of Chief Harrigan asto the need of some re- form, He also thinks tbe old hospital, now used only as storerooms, could most readily be made avaliable for the purpose. For a nominal cost, he said, ‘‘the hos- pital could be made to answer with satisfac- tion as @ place for the confinement of women and children during the day time. Unless it was made much more secure, however, it would be necessary to put them back into their cells at night. Io fx them up properly so as to form an entirely separate and distinct lodge for women and to allow the proper separation of children and women as yet unconvicted from the criminal and tough class, would cost, I sup- pose, some $25,000 or more. lu the jallitseif,’’” added Mr. Kraemer, we needa matron. There is none now, and women prisoners must therefore be dis- missed with such a superficial search as che male guards can give her. A very bad if not dangerous custom. As a remedy for the condition of things in the calaboose Capt. Boyd has a suggestion of value which offers a remedy and at a comparatively trifling outlay. In the rear of the row of cells is a large compartment known as the kitchen. As prisoners in the holdover are fed merely on coffee, sausage and dread there is no real use for a kitchen at all further thap a small compart- ment where the bread and sausage can be cut . This kitchen is sep- arated from the major portion of the calaboose by a thick brick wall and access is gained to it through a wide-arched door- way destitute of a door. Capt. Boyd’s plan is to put up a thick oor here, bulld three or four more Cells (there are already two cells in the Kitchen), for which there is ample room, and the prisoners there would be completely out of sight and out of hearing of all occurrences in the holdover proper. The plan is quite feasible and the cost would not exceed a few hundred doliars, but would only of course answer for the wants of the holdover alone. Capt. Boyd is at pres- ent making a fight for better ventila- tion in the calabose, a thing much needed, and which can be accomplished by putting twoorthree windows in the west wall of the compartment. The movement now on foot had its incep- tion in an article which appeared some time ngo in the Post-DISPATCH detailing the ex- perience of a young girl arrested on a charge of larceny, from which she was subsequently cleared, and who for forty-eight hours or more was locked up with characters of the Vile and most dissolute kind, whose conver- sation and actions, unmeasurably depraved, she was ovliged to hear and witness. HOT AIR WELL What a Kansas Farmer Found in Boring for Water. BUTLER, Mo., Jan. 2.—John P. Johnson, a farmer living across the State line in Linn County, Kan., while boring for water, hav- ing reacbedadepth of ninety feet, pene- trated a cavern to which there seemed to be no bottom, out of which there instantly poured a steady stream of hot air, so strong in volume that it was with difficulty the Grill was held down, and so intense was the heat that the men at the mouth of the hole were driven @way,and when they released their hold upon the drill it immediatély shot upward, disabling the derrick and other machinery and breaking the gas pipe whith connected it with the drill. Until the drill was wholly removed from the mouth of the well the rush of air caused a din of sounds resembling a myriad of sharp littie steam whisties, and when the ovsiruction was removed the noise resembled the roar of a Dlast furnace. ' The find of this well was made Dec. 18, but the flow has not for a moment relaxed in volume or force and the roar can be h a quarter oa mile away. The curiosity at- tracts greatcrowds ot farmers and is the talk of the country round. At first a little vapor was expelled, but this has now disap- aredandthe now comes out dry and so ot that it tans and even burns one’s hands. Mr. Johnson tested the heat by se- curing an egg in a wooden clamp and holding it in the flow, and ima five minutes it was roasted as well done as it could be in a bed ot not ashes. Local scientists have visited tlre scene and tried to trace the flow to the current of natural gas that exists in the adjoining county of Miami, but this theory is at once dissipated by the fact that there is no odor nor anything else in the flow; it comes out as pure as the air from a hot alr turnace. While Farmer Johnson was in search of water when he bo the well, he has devised a plan by which he can put his discovery togood use. His house, which is less than fifty feet away be roposes to move more closely to the well and pipe the air to the various rooms for heating purpose The Jobnson farm lies partly in the ofthe Martas de Cygnes River and the upland. The farmhouse is sort of second bench of the valle —— fifty yards from the road. $. . 77 Taken to the Pen Deputy Sheriff Skiimore left for Jefferson City this morning with the following prison- ersin his custody: Hays Montgomery ahd for burglary in the second degree, and Nellie gt — senteuced to two years for grand rcemy, é Capt.

The Sprinkling Specifications Have Been Completed. The specifications for the sprinkling con- tracts for the ensuing year have been pre- pared by the Board of Public Improvements and were forwarded to the Mayor to-day for his approval. The only important changes made over those of last year are the clauses relating to the repairof water plugs used by the con- tractors, the character of sprinkling to be done by the wagons and the power given the Street Commissioner to withdraw certain plugs from use. The new provision forthe repair of plugs requires the city to pay forall repairs up to the sum of $1 per plug in each sprinkling dis- trict. The excess over this sum is to be borne by the contractor. If there are sixty plugs in a district the city will be Compelledto ex- pend $60 per annum in repairs for these plugs —if the repairs amount to this sum—and all over and above that amount must be paid for by the contractors. The old sprinkling wagons now in use may be continued, but patent attachments must be puton them soasto insure an even sprinkling ofthe streets and not cause them to de flooded as teretofore. A new clause has been inserted which gives the Street Commissioner powerto withdraw from use for the contractors any plug in his district, andif any contractor uses such plug after it has been withdrawn he is held liable on his bond for any damages resulting thereby to private property. This was done to prevent the use of certain leakuge or their peculiar plugs which from damage to be done situation might cause neighboring property from constant use. The Mayor was consulted on all these changes, and his approval of the specifica- tions will probably be given at once. The contracts will be let as soon as possible. FOR ABUSING THEIR WIVES. James fweeney and Louis Waldecker Were Fined by Judge Paxson. There were sixty-one cases on Judge Pax- son’s docket this morning. and many of them proved decidedly interesting. James Swee- ney was charged with disturbing his wife’s peace. That lady, Mrs. Mollie Sweeney, took the stand and swore that her husband was a habitual drunkard, that he failed tosup- port her, and constantly abused her. She said that she was supported by ‘‘the city and the church,’’ and that none of their six children were at home, one being in Hannibal, four in the Orphans’ Home and one with a West End tamily. Then Sweeney took the stand and accused his wife of rendering his life miserable by crossing him and telling him she would joia the demi monde if he did not do better. A. M. Baker was called to the stand by the defendant, but he testified thatSweeney came home frequently and broke all the dishes, Ste., and Sweeney got $15 and costs. Sweeney made a feebie attempt to accuse the witness of alienating his wife’s affections, Louis Waldecker, a nice-looking young man with a brown mustache, was fined $15 and costs onthe testimonv of his wife Minnie. She stated that he dogged her about the street and hit and cursed her in the vicinity of Twenty-third street and Washington ave- nue last n er She was rather pretty, and appeared in court very stylishly dressed. Waldecker's father was once a prosperous merchant here, but of late the young man has been up in court a number of times, Austin Love, a very smooth colored man, was assessed $10 and costs for trespassing. Dick Molieacot, the Washington avenue caterer, tound him back near his kitchen last night. On the stand this morning Love said he used to empty Mr. Mollencot's slops and as be was hard up last night he thought he would go in the back door, count how many barrels there were to be emptied and see if he couldn't make a few extra dimes. Henry Keichman, a 19-year-old boy, was found by Officer Duggan, very drunk, yester- day, at Twentieth street and Washington avenue. At the Third District Station he was unable to give his name, and he was christ- ened Jack Lusber. That name appeared on the books this morning, and to that name he responded. He was fined costs, but his fine was stayed. Wm. McCord was fined $15 for assaulting Moliie Wagner and Fred Campbor in the : — Street Yard’’ last night. All are col- 0 Ben Harrison, Jim Sellers, John Fuch, Ike Preston and Jim Toliver were arraigned for **shooting craps.’’ The cases were com- promised on the fourpaying costs.

To understand why one photograph is bet- ter than another and what there is ubout one picture that appeals more strongly to the s pectator than another, some simple facts about the art of Nght and shade snould be known. The SUNDAY Post- Dis- PATCH, in placing defore its readers at a nominal cost, a collection of 256 views ofthe greatest exhibition ever seen in the world, also introduces a recent invention in printing from photo-en«rav- ings which has caused a revolution in illustrating. 10 secure a good negative of any object, the first point to be considered is the best light. Atthe Fair the trouble was found to be in too much light or in reflected light. The photographer found but few days when he could place his camera in good positions and get the best light on the big buildings. The sun was too bright or the fog too thick or the long lines of the build- ings were 1082 in the distance. To one who was paying for the privilege of , photographing the Fair gr: unds there were many days when he paid for benefits not received. As the photogra- phers were thereto make money they took the best pictures pussible as cir- cumstances were unfavorable and reaped the benefit of their outlay. With the United States photographers the case was different. There had been an ap- propriation of $30,000 made to secure the best collection of Worid’s Fair views. The best artists were engaged and as the best artists have the best photographic apparatus, the best lenses in the country were employed. Tne best lens makes the clearest and strong- est picture, drawsall the lines and brings out many things which are not visibie to the eye at the same distance. The clearly defined pictures made by the United States Government photographer are the plates employed in the series of World's Fair views how deing given away to readers of the SUNDaY Fosr- Dis- PATCH. Adim photograph would producea dim photogravure, as photo-engraving is nothing more than exposing a sensitized zinc plate before a photograph. The light has a chemical action onthe plate, corrod- ing those parts that are white and leaving intact those parts which show up dark. To get all the lines clearly 80 as to print a clear photograph, the photo-engtaving must havea perfect picture to work from. As the Government photog- ra pher was at the Fair all summer, not car- ing for expenses, he did tue dest in his power. The views, as shown in the fine Art Portfolios already issued, are the fruits of his labors. Every picture is a gem, a study. No one who cares for art or literature in the least should ne- glect this opportunity to secure these works ofartforsosmallasum.

JAIL DELIVERY. Deputy Beaten With a Club and Four Men Escape. GREENVILLE, III., Jan. 2.—Four of the six prisoners confined in the county jail at this place made their escape last night about 10 o’clock. When Deputy Sherif J. OC. Wright went in to lock the prisoners in their cells he was attacked by four of them and severely beaten over the head with a club and choked until helpless. Then the prisoners escaped and are still at laige. It is supposed the club was passed in to the prisoners by a negro woman who was held as being an accomplice in the murder of her husband a short time ago. She was allowed her freedom around the bouse and assisted with the household duties. Her son, who was in jail for the murder of his father, did not escape. »The Biggest and Best in the Great Southwest— What? THE SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH.’’ A NEW CHEER. A General fight Resulted.

The Shooting to Death of One Boy by Another. LEBANON, Mo., Jan. 2.—Johnny Ghurchill, the 13-year-old son of the late C. B. Churchill, shot and killed the 15-year-old son of Z. N. Northup yesterday about noon. Archie Ellis, 12 years old, and cousin to the Churchill boy, was the only witness of the tragedy and the two boys tell about the same story. They say that they had been out hunting and when passing Mrs. Churchill’s,Jonnny’s mother’s house on their way back, heard a noise up stairs. Going up there they found Northup trying to break intoa valise. Johnny ordered him out of the house, and with gun in hand followed him down stairs to the front door. The little Ellis boy stepped out of the door first, when the Northup boy slammed the door, and turned as if to at- tack Johnny, but the latter leveled kis gun and shot him. The little murderer then jwalked across to the house of the dead boy’s parents and told what he had done. He then gave himself up to the Sheriff, and is now in jall. The Coro- ner’s inquest will be held to-day, when all the facts will be developed. Mrs. Churchill, who was visiting ai Linn Creek, arrived home last night, ECONOMY COAL Has no equal.
