MEOHIN'S BUSINESS AFFAI 4 When Mechin went away the first last April and was brought back by Lawyer John M. Holmes, his accounts with the Foerstel estate were all straight. The escapade,how- ever, shook the faith of some people in the man who had been their idol, and the result wasthat Mr. August Gehner became the trustee of the Foerstel estate. Mr. Gehner and others upon Mr. Mechin’s bond for $267,000 do not say whether Mr. Mechis sug- ested thiscourse or not, but anyway the ank account was kept in the name of August Gehner, trustee. Mr. Gehner signe all checks, and was virtually assignee. Mr. Dietmeyer kept the books of the estate and Mr. Mechin appeared in court as the assignee. Mr. Mechin, after his re- turn, sold his building assoelation stock, realizing about $2,500. His business with his partner. Mr. Dietmeyer, was sold to Mr. spenschied. The property held by the firm was converted into eash and Mr. Mechin had over $5,000. The court, a few days ago al- lowed him his fee of $5,000 in the Foerstel estate and after paying for the cletrical work Mechin had, all told, in the. neighbor- hood of $10,000. It was then that the plan whith had evideatiy been maturing al summerand fall was put into effect and he decided to turn over a new leaf With the new year, and left St. Louis on Dec, 28 to get a good start. a As Mechin’s affairs now stand his presence is demanded in St. Louls.

C., San. 4.—Although the lack ofa quorum blocked the tariff debate yesterday, and ap order was passed recall- ing absentees, only ninety-eigut members, by actual count, were onthe floor when the House was called to order at noon. The prospect for a Democratic quorum was gioomy. N Still Col. Ike Hitt, the Democratic whip, expressed the opinion that a quorum of Democrats were in the city. Some communications were laid before the House, and the Speaker announced the reap- pointment of Messrs.

It is thought that she died of privation brought about by sickness and lack of attention. Mrs. McGrath was 70 years old, and owned property the rentals of which amounted to nearly $3,000 per year.

The payment was due in New York Monday. Over one-half of these bonds are said'to be held by St. Louis parties. A wire received Urte. Y., Jauumy 4.—Negotia- tions for a settlement of the dim culty between Martin L. Beker and his wife have been in progress here resterday and to- day. The possesion of thechildren, a boy of 8anda girlof 5, is the miin issue. Becker traced his wife to Utica by means of a shrewd detective, and he ame here himself yesterday from New Yok and confronted her. Mrs. Becker was cecompanied from New York by Mechin ard her cousin, Mr. Rose of New York, at whose house she stayed while there. When Becker arrived here he was met by the de- tective, and after a short investigation the detective was dismissed, which indicates that there will be no furtifer flight on the part of the wife from ‘he service or legal papers. Attorneys for both parties have been together to-day and yesterday. There is no possibility of a reconciliation between the husband and wife, for the Qusband stops at the St. James Hotel, inthis city, while Mechin is entertained at the McKenzie home at Yorkville, three miles away.

Although the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee were willing to make an arrangement to de> vote two days (to-morrow and Saturday) to this subject, they decided after the wasting of the day yesterday through the persist- ency of Mr. Boutelle to shut the Hawalian debate out entirely untilthe tariff bill was disposed of. Accordingly, when Mr. Boutelle called up his privileged Hawallan resolution this morning Mr. McMillan, on behalf of the com. mittee, raised the question of consideration. Mr. Boutelle was sarcastic and Mr. Mc- Millan rather contemptuous in the exchange of shots before the vote was taken.

Mechin however, is administrator for several small estates. There is no money in these, but unless ne comes back they will dave to be thrown into the hands of the Public Ad- ministrator. Mr. Dietmeyer, who was Mr. Mechin’s tor- mer rtner, speaking this morning said: ‘*] think Mechin will come back here, and he will walk arouna just as if nothing had hap- pened, justas he did the last time when he returned.’’ Mr. Dietmeyer’s opinion, how- ever, is not shared by other people, who say that Mechin’s expulsion from the orders to which he belongs will hurt his pride so that he will not return. 4 1 eS Aone Tie gt ing was a director of the association at the time the assignment was made, has a grievance, Last spring at a meeting of the board he was given the job of straightening up a house at Clifton Heights, which had been blown out of plumb by a minature cyclone.

The highwaymen brutal assaulted him and fied. Just as they skipped through the alley they saw Officer B. D.

They ran through the alley, turning around and firing seven shots as they went. The officer emptied his pistol, but the bandits Kept firing. When they reached Twenty-first street the officer was under the electric ight and the taller of the men took one last part- ing shot at him, but missed his mark.

The remains of the cabbage was now furnishing food for some of the chickens. 5 GOLD FELL FROM THE BODY. To-day at noon the police were asked to set a watch onthe premises, sc that robbers might not enter the place and ransack It for gold. Two officers were detailed to watch the place and they took their seat on an old box in the room. There is no doubt but that the old lady has buried some treasure about the place for after she died and her body was brought to the Morgue a $20 gold piece fell out of a piece of rag which she had tied about her neck and under her arm. She has plenty of gold, for Attorney Jom I. Martin, who has acted as her attorney states that she has paid him several fees, and every time the money she used was gold. She al- ways appeared to have plenty of the glitter - ing coln. of her home. None of the neighbors and in fact no person hasever been seen to enter her home, and her only companions were a half dozen dogs, several chickéns and some canary birds and cats. HORRIBLE FILTH. ‘The room which she occupied was vold of all furniture, and rubbish to the depth of nearly two feet covered the floor. On this the poor old woman made her bed each night, surrounded by her pets. Shenever got along with her neigh- bors, frequently standing around and laugh- ing at them as they appeared in the yards. She didallthe work about the house in the way of repairs and such painting as she deemed necessary. The neighbors missed her several days ago, and though they watched for her closely they could not see her. When a week had passed and the poor old woman was still absent, the neighbors came to the con- clusion that she was either dead or dying in the hovel. They communicated with the police, and Officer Ryan of the Central District, after making an investigation, found the woman in an unconscious condition imbedded in a mass of bottles,rags and paper, He summoned tbe aid of an on HE GAMBLED.

The first section of train No. 83 left this station at 1:30a. m. and was to take on some cars at Rock Glen. Ten empty coal cars and the caboose were left on the main track in charge of a fagman, who must have gone to sleep and failed to get the brakes, The cars and caboose in which the three men were doubtless asleep came down hill at a fearful speed and struck engine No. #4 on the gecond section of 83, justas it was pulling out of the westend of the yard.

It Will Prove the Turning Point to an Inheritance of $80,000. MounT CARROLL, III., Jan. 4.—This town Is greatly agitated over the story of an alleged attempt to deprive Charles D. Bohn, a boy of 12 years, out of an inheritance of $80,000. In 1891 Samuel Bohn, a well-known Carroll County farmer, died, leaving an estate worth over $80,000. About the lst of November fol- lowing his widow, Lucinda Bohn, applied for letters of administration, supplementing 6 application with an affidavit averring at muel Bohn left surviving him the amiant, ror da Bohn, his widow, and an ado hter, Leonetta Bohn, and no rhetrs. \Thereupon letters were issued Conrad Lampand he proceeded with the Work ofsettiing up the estate with a view to Turning it over, allsave the widow’s rights, to the adopted daughter. Leonetta. Two w safter Mr. Bohn’s death Leon- etta Bohn, the adopted daughter, eloped with Samuel Matheny to Beloit, Wis., where they were married. Itis alleged Matheny then began to plot for the dead Bohn’s Wealth. Hisfirst step wasto terrorize the ‘widow, who is sald to be ignorant and super- stitious, hence an easy victim to his schemes. Mr. Matheny watch his opportunity and Binding the old lady at work tn the basement One day he approached her and said: ‘‘if — name any other person than Leonetta as eir to Mr. Bohn you will Me put in the peni- tentiary.’’ This so prey upon ber mind that she went to the County Clerr¥’s office and swore that Leonetta was the only heir. All this was done in spite of the fact that the widow had a son, Charles D. Bohn. Friends of the disinherited boy took up his cause, andthe Special Master in Chancery has tfinished hearing the testimony of the complainant, which counsel for young zohn s. shows conclusively that on Feb. 3, 1882, Lucinda Bohn gave birth to a child hat is now known and called Charles D. 60 N. The Matheny side of the case, it is under - stood, relies upon the aMidavit of Mrs. Bohn show that Charles D. was not born in wed- „and that the child is a son of a Mrs. , a former domestic at Bohn’s, since „ It is claimed that the erry will show that but one child had been to Mr. and Mra Bohn, and tnat twenty- years ago, since d „ and that at alleged date of Charles D.’s birth they re of an advanced age, and hence it was a physical impossibility the child should be ** The case is belng bitterly fought. by es.

Close the Lowest on Record. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 4.—The close of 1893 recorded the lowest prices for iron and steel in the history of the trade. There has been a disposition to think that the coming of 1894 would arrest the downward tendency, but evidences aretothe contrary. It is Known that on ores offers have been made for the coming year lower than were touched in 1893 on standard grades. In pig iron the opening ofthe year brings a reportof an offer by a northern furnace using Lake Superior ores to sell for deliveries running into the spring ata gute not touched by December trans- actions. The study of costs is the most serious busi- ness producers have on hand to-day and, while every buyer may be satisfied that what is raw material has touched a level that leaves the maker without profit, he — 1 that with greater reductions in labor cost the market may be still further de- pressed and that, with foreign competition added to that at home, the tendency must be further downwara.

Charley, however, was foxy enough to learn what kind ofa reception he would receive, before returning there. His attorney made the original ar- rangement for Johnny's release, which was to take place on Ohristmas.

Well may Mr. Porter be called a hero, well may every inhabitant of the civilized world read of his experience and well may all mankind rejoice at its termination. The horrible sufferings which he ex- perienced from disease were even worse than those of the war and prison. But he is a well man at last and cannot say enough in praise of his remarkable remedy. His restoration to health after 30 many years of suffering is indeed Rost wonderful. lf you are suffering from any form of nervous or chronic disease, indigestion, weakness, kidney or liver complaint, take Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It will cure you. Dr. Greene, the noted specialist in the cure of all nervous and chronic diseases, can be consulted at his office, 35 W. 14th Street, New York, free, per sonally or by letter. — IN THE TURF WORLD. W.

How Celestial Sleuths Attempt the Cap- ture of Murderers. New YOrK, Jan, 4.—The Chinamen of the United States have their own detective sys- tem and in thelrown way hunt down crim- inals who wear the queue. Two detectives ofthe Six Companies are nowin New York on the trail of a murderer. They are Hue Foy and Slee Lee, and they have come all the way from San Francisco tracking the man who is supposed to have killed Fume Sing Suey, the famous Chinese doctor, a short time ago. All Chinatown is now billed with great red posers. announcing that the Fung family in n Francisco, the relatives of the murdered doctor, would pay $400 for the arrest an conviction of the murderers, and that Sue Hing, one of the Six Companles with which Fung Sing Suey was closely connected, would more. Then the Chinese Benevolent Society —— . $600 more if the murderers were convic of murder in the first degree, or $200 1f the conviction was one of homicide in the lesser degrees. The great placards are stack up allover Mott, Pell, er and the er streets of Chinatown. Hue Foy told a reporter that the murder was one of the most remarkable that. had ever occurred, and that the Chiftese all over the country are excited about it. The doc- tor, Fang Sing Suey, was a big man in China before he came tothis countfy about ten years ago, because of political troubles that had their origin in the many accusations that he practiced a sort of black art. He was ac - cused of aiding the foes of the Government in secret, while he was honored by the favor of the Emperor and the court people for his rare accomplishments. »The doctor lived the life of a recluse in his little house, said Hue Foy. Sometimes A strange woman visited him. She was a French woman and very pretty. She was on intimate terms with two other Chinamen, who have long been sus ted of Deing spies forthe Emperor. On t night before the morning when he was found poisoned his house that woman visited him. She hasn't been seen around there since, and the two men disappeared about the same time. The doctor’s possessions had been turned over and searched, but the only that was missing was the precious pipe; We have traced the two men to this eity, and it was only the other day that we AH that the Felech women came here, 00 Hue Foy intimated that ne had located one ofthe two meh ros was r for one of the high officers of the Sue Hing to come on and echarge of — egy so that he could have the suspect arrested.

C., Jan. 4.—Some gos- sip is being indulged in astothe probability of further immediate gold shipments in view of the fact that the average loss of gold to the Treasury in January for the past twelve years has been $9,600,000. Some of the Treas- ury Officials do not belleve there is any pros- pects of such shipments, while others hol to the opinion that with the stiffening of rates of exchange such exports are alto- gether probable. The belief ig general, how- ever, that if such shipments are indulged in the New York banks would not come to the relief of the treasury to any considerable ex- tent and thus prevent the depletion of gold reserve. The Treasury's Condition: WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The available cash balance in the Treasury to-day is $90,164,909; National bank notes received for redemption, $428,479.

The reason for a large part of the oppo- sition to the income tax proposition is suggested by this statement. The tariff beneficiaries and their representatives know that the problem of how to meet the deficiency will be solved by an income tax. They know that the levying of this tax will remove all difficulties in way of tariff reform. It will relieve the Democratic majority of embarrassment in carrying out the pledges of the party. The Republican leaders fully recognize the importance of preventing the income tax. They see in its adoption the defeat of their efforts to perpetuate war taxes on necessaries and thus maintain their profit- able alliance with the tariff barons. They know that the success of the measure will pap and enable it to gain additional popularity by the redemption of its promises to re- lieve the plain people of oppressive taxes on their necessaries. They are, therefore, invoking the aid of all the forces and influences of plutocratic greed to defeat this tax. Any Democrat who opposes the income tax allies himself with the enemies of Democracy, He helps to defeat a measure which is as sound from the economic standpoint as itis wise from the stand- point of practical politics. — *— The price of the daily Post- Di pate from newedealers and newsboys is 2 cents per copy; Sunday, S cents.

It is believed that the President will be compelled to withdraw the nomination of Mr. Hornblower for Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Senate committee refuses to report the nomina- tion favorably, and it is fedred that if re- ported it will fail of confirmation. It is worth while to examine the cause of the Senate’s failure to confirm this nomination. No reasonable objection has been brought against Mr. Hornblower. His fitness for the office is not in question, He is admitted to be a man of honor and integrity, with sufficient capacity to fill the high position for which he has been selected. It would he a reflection upon the intelligence of Sen- ators to believe that they give serious consideration to the petty and flippant charges brought against Mr. Hornblower by partisan factionists. : The truth is, nothing stands in the way of a confirmation of the nomination except Senatorial courtesy. This courtesy is invoked by Senators Hill and Murphy of New York. No considera, tion of public good prompts their appeal to the courtesy of their assoojates. It is based solely upon personal and partisan grounds. Senators Hill and Murphy aretwo of the bosses who run the Democratic machine in New York State. They ob- ject to Mr. Hornblower because as a private citizen and member of the bar he opposed a candidate whom they had nominated for the highest State Court, This candidate was proved corrupt and unfit forthe office. He was nomin- ated in defiance of popular protest, and was defeated by an overwhelming vote of the members of his own party. Yet, be- cause Mr. Hornblower declined to submit to the dictation of local party bosses and vote for a corrupt candidate, because he protested against the, degradation of the bench of his State, he is punished by the Senate and practically declared to be unfit for the Supreme bench, i There is only one conclusion to be drawn from this case. If the bosses choose to exercise a privilege conferred upon them by the Senate, no man who declines to submit to boss dic- who declines to violate his conscience and sacrifice his independ- ence,can aspire to the highest court of the land. Under this rule the bench of the Fed- jeral Suprema Court can only be filled by ; 1 Unreasonably lage salaries are the bane of PRENDERGAST declares that he has no intention of committing suicide, and that if he is to die he will have to be killed by the authorities.

The ‘ trade is already anticipating what Will bap- | a , 6 the McKinley tariff took effect the average profits of pottery manu- ‘fecturers were 22 per cent. That tariff became operative in November, 1890, ‘and enabled the pottery trusts of East Liverpool, O., and Trenton, N. J., to dia- ‘tribute dividends of 29 per ont the next Jar. But within four months after this tariff ‘had enabled the trusts to levy an addi- tional tax upon the users of pottery the wages of their operatives were cut down. If they found in increased protection a reason for cutting wages, they have no right to ascribe still further wage-cutting under the McKinley tariff to the Wilson bill. : Why don’t these gentlemen who are so anxious about the poor workingman tell the public about the reductions in monop- oly profits which might be made in order to compete with the foreigner? Do they propose to maintain these profits and squeeze it out of wages when their protec- tion is reduced? This is exactly what they propose to do ifthey can. They mean to get their labor as cheaply as they can, just as they buy their clay, and the real object of their solic- itude is monopoly profit, This must be surrendered because it is not earned. If the manufacturers are not willing to do this they can go out of the business and let those take hold of it who are content with an income honestly earned by honest labor at good wages and who do not ask the Government to help them accumulate the earnings of others.

The retirement of Judge Gibson from the Circuit bench of Kansas City may be taken as a notice toall candidates for the Gov- ernorship that they will have a formidable opponent in the field. Judge Gibson made a race in the last gubernatorial campaign, which under the circumstances must de regarded as extraordinary. When he announced his candidacy he was little known outside of his own district. But the energy and address with which he conducted his campaign gained for him unexpected strength in the convertion and wide and solid popularity throughout the State. It was an able and promising first dash. Judge Gibson has an excellent public record. He was one of the best Mayors Kansas City has had. In the Legislature and on the bench he proved himself honest and capable. He is in the prime of life, with abundant energy and ability. : It is possible that there is no political significance in Judge Gibson’s move. But if he intends to try again for the Gover- norship he will be a candidate who will be heard from. , — _ - CONGRESSMAN Tom JOHNSON got a letter asking him to vote against the Wilson bill, He promptly replied: ‘‘I shall do nothing ofthe kind. My objection to the Wilson bill is not that its duties are too low, but that they are too high. I will do all I can to cut its duties down, but I will stren- uously oppose putting them up. So long as I continue to repregent you in Congress I shall act on the principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and wherever Ican abolish any of the taxes that are now levied on labor or the products of labor I will do it, and where I cannot abolish I will do my best to reduce. When you get tired of that you can elect some one in my place who suits you better.’’ Strong and honest that. The State of Ohio should be very proud of Tom Johnson. If she could have had more men like Mr. Johnson she would have suffered from fewer business wrecks in the past twelve months. — Ir is gratifying to know tnat there is now no Home for Friendiess Oats’’ in New York.

From the Alagara Democrat How strange it is that when our Republican friends condemn tariff :agitation for unset- tling business they can’t remember that the Republican party has made all the tariff changes inthe last thirty years, and that there was noexcuse whatever for adopting the McKinley tariff, except to reward a class of Republicaa allies among manufacturers who bad made large contributions to party campaign funds. Nor can they remember that during the first year of the operation of the McKinleytarif not an instance of ad- vanced wages was proved, while there was such a rush n production thatthe markets for many things were glutted, prices cut, to be followed by wage reductions and strikes. Is it not pecullarthat Republicans can remember none of these things? ‘ And yet in 1892, the first year of the Mo- Kinley tariff and before we had a change of administration assured by the presidential election, this thing happened: Tas New Tonk Woxtrpof July 18—note that the date was before the election of 1892—presented a report in detail of nearly 500 establishments devoted to protected industries in which wages had been reduced, We simply advise our Republican friends who are now wasting their dreath in de- nouncing the Wilson bili as the sole cause of dull times to brush the cobwebs out of their brains, tone ap their weak memories and cease to be silly.

The jurors are not limited to a choice de- tween one of two verdicts, They may find a prisoner gullty or not guilty, They may like- wise returt a verdict of not proven. This latter doesnot, of course, clear the charac- ter of the accused, but it liberates him and removes the possibility of farther trial.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: : Capital always flows where the returhs are greatest. To make st. Louis a great com- mercialand manufacturing center the city should exempt from taxation—either for a limited time or pérmanentiy—all improve- ments, machinery, stock, personal property, etc., used in manufacturts. This would induce capitalists to invest vast sums in productive enterprises and, being assured that they were not to be fined for investments Going so in this city, these would be made here. " This would not only give employment to thousands, but the city itself could make a neat little sum by S some of its lands tor a term of years to the manufacturers and receive an ever-increasing income from a source already too long negiected. Eventhe old City Hall, instead of being sold for a song, could be utilized in such a manner. 8 Objections have been made that our al- ready established cotton mils can many facture all our home market can take in six or nine ménths of the year, and that on this ac@ount alone it would be folly to establish more cotton mille here or attempt to make this city a cotton manufacturing center, This is the old cry of over-production. The objectors evidently are persons who sess more than one white shirt or more han one calico dress. To one not wearing gold-rimmed specta- cles of a roseate hue it is as clear as the mid- day sun that instead of producing more than wecan make use of we produce not half enough. Ifwe produced toomuch little children, ris, women, boys and men would not wear resses and clothes resembling flags that had been — 47 the thirty years’ war. We want more goods and moreemployment, and both will come with more factories. To get the latter, don’t fine them in the shape of taxes; encourage them and the wheels of industry will hum as never before; wages will rise and ovef- production will only be possible when every man, woman and chiid has gatisfed his or her wants and de- sires. Let St. Louls be the first to strike the shackles off of labor and capitai and The Future Great’’ will be a misnomer. UNCLE ToM, ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. B. S.— The note is good.

BECAME WILD. A Negro Frisoner’s Antics in His Cell— Supposed Case of Tremens. John Smith, a negro 27. years old, who was arrested while drunk yesterday afternoon and locked up at the Fourth District Station, gave the officers quite athrilling experience about sq o’clock this morning. After sleeping of his jag and awakening from troubled dreams he proceeded at first to tear from his body every vestige of clothes there was on him. Then with a whoop and a yell, he be gan to play the grand chimpanzee act and and climbed up and down and around the bars of hiscage as though he were a full- fledged monkey. His eyes glared like balls of fre and de gnashed his huge white teeth and made hostile demonstrations towards everybody who approached near the bars of the cell. The officers soon realized that extreme measures had to be resorted toto down and firmly secure the now wild and thoroughly infuriated man. The door of his cell was hastily unlocked and before the negro was aware of it, three of the attendants had rushed in upon him. A violent struggle ensued, but the negro was finally overpowered, handcuffed and securely strapped. He was then taken to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Alex. Jordan examined him. Th Doctor was unable to state whether his sud- den mania was due to drink or other causes, so he was sent tothe City Hospital for fur- ther observation. ——————_—_—_—_— SD fi | JAestify in a few days. * — — ʒſ a — — NEW EVIDENCE, Witnesses Will Corroborate Mrs. Foy e Test mon in the Coughlin Trial. CHIcAGoO, III., Jan. 4. Joseph H. Dundas. a court reporter, took the stand in the Cough- lin trial to-day and read the notes he had taken of the testimony given by the late Agnes McNery atthe formertrial. The testi- mony related to the man who had called for Dr. Cronin on the night of May 4, and who drove the doctor away behind the famous white horse. Defense scored a victory in their objection to the testimony of Pr. Cronin's friend, Patrick McGarry, relating to various ex- hibits on the former trial, Judge Tuthill de- ciding to exclude it. Police Officer Paul Horfe testified that Iceman O’Sullivan had twice called Coughlin up by telephone at the police station. At the defendant’s sug- gestion the attorney asked the gitness if he did not know that Coughlin wa t the time Getalled on a olice case that took him to Lakeview often, and ac- counted for his consultations with O’Sul- livan. He replied that he did not know. The prosecution gave notice of the calling of a new witness, Miss Lusie Horton, who will She lived near the Carison cottage in 1889 and will,it is claimed, testify that she saw Coughlin and Andrew Foy near the cottage onthe night of May 12, which is the date on which the prosecution claims the floor was painted to conceal the blood-stains. That the prosecution is in earnest is shown by their untiring efforts to introduce new evidence. They rely a great deal on the tes- timony of Mrs. Foy and will endeavor to strengthen her statements by corroborative evidence. One witness to be introduced, it is said to-day, is the oldest son of Andrew and Mrs. Foy, a boy of 18 or 19 years. He has no desire, itis understood, to be sum- moned to the stand and efforts have recently been made to prevail upon him not to ap- pear, but when called he will readily testify. tie is at present employed in the county hos- pital, and the intimation that he would bea witness has aroused the defense. His father has been to see him to try and prevent him from appearing, and so also, it is re- ported, have been counsel for the defense. The boy loves his mother and is proud of her, and is naturally indignant atthe manner in which she has lately been treated, and especially at the innuendos and threats made against her character. Andrew Foy himself, it is said,is as bitterly indignant as his son at the rumors in circulation about his wife, in whose honor and purity he has the most im- licit confidence. He has ceased to live with er, but he has not ceased to trust her and believe in her as the mother of his chil- dren. And in this connection it may be men- tioned that the day before she went on the stand Foy visited the grocer and others with whom the family traded and told them that ifshe appeared asa witness they must no longer give her credit on his account, as he would pay no debts contracted by her. Young Foy’s testimony will probaiey be devoid ofagy startling revelations, as it ts not thought that he heard any of the con- versation between Coughlin and others in the house, such as was testified to by his mother, but he can Verify their presence in his home and douDtless testify as to certain dates and actions. This in itseif willbe strong corrob- orative evidence in support of his mother’s statements. As an indication of the brutal vindictive- ness with which Mrs Foy and her family are now being pursued it may be related that on New Year's eve her second eldest boy, a lad of about 13 years, was struck across the fore- head by an unknown man with some weapon and temporarily rendered senseless. It may have been an aceldeut, but the boy does not think so. Another new witness besides young Foy willbe a man named Jones, who was in Dinan’s livery stable atthe time the white horse was hired. Whether he will be abie to identify any one or nature of his And position Foy s brother, McLaughlin, of whose appearance however, nothing can be found out.

Rose went to Man- ager Tryling’s room wearing her Ori- ental make-up and the effects of a beer-garden atmosphere. She declared ghe would dance no more and demanded tier week's wages. Tryling got angry. The argument grew hot. Those sleeping on the other side of the hall heard sounds of slaps and tugging.

Then Oheriff an his tribe, who were stationed in the hallway, heard the tantalizing clink of silver while fourteen large round dollars were counted out the French girl. It was ll and worm wood to the true Showers of Mahomet who were minus two weeks’ salary to hear of the French contor- tionist getting pata, They were in forimi- ‘tating the little French girl’s bluſt on the manager, but Hadj Cheriff, their leader Went among them, quieting them and pre- venting any further violence. ROSE’S ACCOUNT OF THE TROUBLE. When Rose and her room-mate, Thyrza, were seen this morning they showed unmis- taKable signs of having gone to bed without washing off their make-up. How about that trouble last night?’’ inquired tne re- r. ‘“That’se nobody's business, put in Thyrza, an auburn haired American girl, whose manners are not suave. ‘‘I’ll tell you how it was,’’ said Rose. ‘‘Icame home last night with an edge on and Tryling and I had afight. I won’t go back tothe beer garden any more andi wanted mymoney, We got $15 a week and our expenses. Mr. Roberts gave me $1 Monday and I scared the other $14 out of Tryling last night. Did we fight? Well, I guess we did. The policeman wanted to put me out of the room, but! wouldn't go til got my money. I won’t dance here any more. I’m going back to Cin- cinnati.’’ Cheriff came into the room at this junc- ture. He took the girls to task forsome- thing they weres quoted as saying about his wife Cheriffa, but both girls denied having been interviewed. Then Tryling came in and the conversation be- came very strained, The party discussed the various fights between Nosla, Amera and Rose at Cincinnat! last week, while Cherif and family were making a fiying visit to Chicago. The gathering ended in an agree- ment to cease hostilities untilthe returo of Manager Roberts from Oincianati, THE AFTERNOON AFFRAY. The early morning encounter between Rose and Vice-Manager Tryling was only a little afterpiece to a serious encounter between the two companies that occurred earlier in the afternoon. Cheriff’s company not know- ing that Entertainment Hall was closed against them went over for the regular afternoon performance, but found the doors barred. They came back tothe hotel with blood in thelreye. Tryling and his troupe were in the hotel corridor waiting to guy them. They mistook their people. Little almond-eyed Nosla madeadash for Tryling and landed on his jaw. Cheriffa followed suit,” and digging her nalis into his face. fought like A tigress. The rest of the crowd took a hand. Hair was pulled, scimitars were drawn, and the clash of steel rang above thesbrieks of The clerks summoned Sergt. Collins and Officer Fox, twho quellea the tu- mult with drawn revolvers. Chief Harrigan placed two officers to prevent any bioodsied Guring the rest of the night. Cheriffa, whois at the head of the troupe of eleven hates that form part of Roberts’ company, was in receipt of numerous offers s morning from concert hall, beer gar- ‘den people and proprietors of other places who could use hisshowto their advantage. He refused them all. 90 have none but respectable people in They . cannot y company. while they are with me to disreputable von second-class places o give enter- nments.

I could not be anything eise dung be a true son of the Prophet.’’ Oheriff sent an n out during the day try and make terms with the Germania or Kkwiek Theater people. The other com- pano, minus Rose, will continue their beer garden engagement. ROBERTS HEARD FROM. Late in the day Cheriff received a telegram from Manager Nick Roberts, dated Cincin- nati, saying he had to pay the Pike Opera- house people for damages done by Cherif’s troupe, and would be back here Saturday to Offand take the company to Philadel. Dine only point of concern to St. Loutsans now is whether all the company will get out or whether Rose or perhaps others who may ve the company will remain and hang out eir shingle as exponents and Instructors tn © disgusting Oriental device known as the danse du ventre.’’ Hadj Cheriſt does not place much conf- dene in Roberts, for about noon to-day he "called at the tour Courts in company with Louis Seguenot, the French Consal, and asked for a warrant against Roberts. Attorney Estep referred them to chief Har Tigan, who told them the police could do nothing for them, as they would have to in- ute civil proceedings against Roberts fur h of contract. Court Notes.

H. A TRUSTER’S SALE OF A LOT PBE- VENTED BY ATTORNEY GLOVER. Judgement Creditors of Gleason Objected to the Sale of the Lot Under a Deed of Trust—Mrs. Lena Stag! Gets All- mony—News of the Courts. John M. Glover, representing W. Palmer Clarkson, trustee, Fannie E. Carroll and ; Geo. T. Parker, filed a petition for an injanc- tion this morning to restrain Luther Babcock trustee, Frederick G. Babcock, trustee, and Charles H. Gleason from selling under a deed of trust a lot fronting 87 feet on Ohic avenue, near Henrietta street. The sale was adver - tised for noon to-day. The plaintiffs alleged that they are judg- ment creditors of Charles H. Gleason; that on August 25, 1893, Gleason in consideration of an antecedent indebtedness gave a promissory note for $8,945.26, payable in thirty days to W. Palmer Clarkson. The note was un paid and Clarkson recoyered judg: monte for the amount. At the same time Fannie E. Oarroll recovered judgment against Gleason on two notes. one for 86.000 and another for $500, and the Sherif! was given executions forthe three judgments to levy upon the lot mentioned. It was discovered, however, that Gleason had given a deed of trust onthe property to secure a note for $4,000, dated Oct. 15, 1892, and aue three years after date. The plaintiffs alleged that this aeed of trust was made by Gleason with intent to defraud his creditors and was without consideration ; that John liman, intending to Gleason in defrauding creditors, took possession of the note and transferred it to the estate of Charles Alford, of which he without consideration ; erick O. Babcock, successor Lullman, sets upa pretended ownership to the note and Luther Babcock, successor to Emil A. Becker as trustee for the deed oftrust, had advertised the prop- erty for sale, the interest note having ma- tured and n unpaid. The plaintiffs alleged that Gleason was utterly insol- vent at the date of the note, and they asked that the mortgages be canceled, that Luther and Frederick G. Babcock be enjoined from selling the same, and thatthe property be sold by order of court under the »plaintiff’s execution after the cancellation of the mortgage. Appended to the petition is an amdavit by Clarkson, who alleged that, in company with John M. Glover, he called Luther Babcock in his the Wainwright Bullding, fand told Babcock that the note was fraudulent; that nothing for it and 17 into the estate of Alford he did 830 to cover up his (Lull- man’s) defalcations. . Clarkson alleged that in answer Babcock said that Lullman was a defaulter tothe Alford estate. An affidavit by Glover follows, supporting Clarkson’s amdavit. Glover alleged also that Gleason D John K. Weir, bookkeeper for Gleason & Co., told him that Lullman paid nothing for the note. Judge Fisher said he would grant a tempo- rary injunction, provided the plaintiffs gave a $6,000 Dond. Mr. Glover took exception to the amount, and the Judge reduced it to $5,000. Mr. Glover went in search of the sureties returned a few min- utes before the hour set for the sale to say that the plaintiffs had pala the interest notes and the costs up to date and the sale was declared off, paid he turned it Joseph Dado’s Will. The will of Joseph Dado, filed for probate to-day, sets forth that the testator was pos- sessed of a house and lot at 620 Locust street, a leasehold estate in the house and lot at Nineteenth and Olive streets, and the stock of groceries, liquors, etc., contained therein. He directs the executor to sell the property at 620 Locust street at auction, and to dispose of the remainder of his estate as he may deem best. Of the proceeds the testator de his brother, Dado Tenn., to his Dado, daughter of John Dado, $5,000; to Rev. Fr. Joseph Murray of Jackson, Tenn,, $500; to his niece, Amelia Patrio, and his nephew Joe Patrio, $500 each; to his sister, Mrs. Paolina Dado of Canton § Tignio, Switzerland, $5,000.

Mielert, a Justice of the Peace, to. day to restrain Shea from prose- cuting certain sults before Mielert and to restrain the latter from hearing the same.
