Twenty-seven witnesses in all were examined, most of whom were eye-witnesses of the tragedy, but the mass of evidence differed only slight- ly. Several reasons were assigned which in the opinion of the various witnesses led the horse deceased was riding to shy and to jump across the track at the fatal moment. when the car was almost upon them. The exact reason will, prob- ably never be known as the conclusion of the inquest leaves this point as much in doubt as ever. Miss Kden born was onlyi5 years old and was the only child of William Edenborn, Presi- dent of the Consolidated Steel and Wire Co., living at 2017 Park avenue. Yesterday afternoon, followiag her usual custom, she went out horseback riding.

The greatest difficulty, he says, is experi- enced in sending dispatches out of Brazil which in any way touch upon the actual state of affairs in that revolution-torn coun- try. Itappears that the press censorship is so rigorous that anything in any way reflect - ing upon the Government or giving news ad - verse to the Administration of President Petxoto is very mysteriously delayed, or so twisted and colored astono longer retain the spirit of the original dispatch.

Again Remanded. : DUBLIN, Jan. 6.—Nolan and Mearnes, who were charged with having murdered Patrick and the insargents are finding friends in the northern provinces who are conspiring against the government of President Peixoto and who are assisting the revolutionary movement in every way possibile. Conspiracies in favor of De Melio and the insurgent cause are cropping up in many parts of the North, where martial law alone seems to prevent a rising similar to that which has taken place in the South and which has been in progress for a long time St. Louls and Carondelet and west on the main line as far as Vandeventer avenue, and have always deadheaded on the short trains tothe points where they were stationed.

The petition will be turned overto Mr. Doddridge upon his return to the ciry. investigation was the result of a suspicion that our water supply was being contaminated by Chicago sewage — from the Illinois River. Briefly, then, I tind from the charts before me con- ditions as follows Substances supposed to contaminate drinking water in dangerous quantities in the Illinois River, also in spots in the Mississippi River between the mouth of the Illinois and the Chain of the mouth however, a half the water is purer than at any other pointin the river between Drafton and the Chaia of Rocks.

The comparative purity of the water at Grafton seems to me inconsistent with the theory that the water below that point is contami- nated by water from the Illinois River. The condi- tions existing at the mouth of the Missouri River. as shown by the cnart, suggests that as a much more Beere source of pellution than the Lilinois ive . In view of these conelusions, which seem to me necessary upon the facts befere me, I do not think further superficial investigations would be desirable atthistime. In fact, it seems to me the tendency of the work done by our City Chemist is to give confidence in the urity of the water supply at the Chain of Rocks s0 far as any influences are soncerned within our con- trol affecting the water at thas point and I am, therefore, inclined to think thatif further work be done the investigation should be conducted by a commission ef thoroughly. equipped experts backed by suffielentappropriation of money to enable them to make an exhaustive and final report. The money at command under your present appropriatien it seems to me sufficient todo more then has already been done by Dr. Teichman with seeming thuroughness. If sufficient fundscanbe made avalilabie to prosecute further work with thoroughness I shall be glad to co-operate with you to a final settiement of this vexed question. Very truly yours, © FP. WALBRIDGE, Mayor. To help the Mayor in arriving at the above conclusions he had five different maps of the riverand acomplete detailed analysis, allof which were earefully prepared in the City Chemist’s office, The only inference to de drawn from the above communication of the Mayor which he virtually confirmed inan interview, is that the report of the City OUOhemist shows nothing conclusive as to the source of contamination of the river water at the Chain of Rocks. The chemical conditions that prevall so far as ammogntla, the nitrites and nitrates ais concerned, are the same at the Chain of Rocks as at the mouth of the III nois River, while at intermediate points the contamination is less, and the water de- cidedly freer from these agents. Atieast this is what is shown by City Teichmann’s tabulated analysis and maps. The following is an extract from the tabulated statement of the analyses made by the Cicy Chemist: TEICHMANN’S ANALYSES. Gebdt at 6 finally past. Inthe city and province of Pernambuco even the military forces of the Government would be insufficient to check the outburst of an insurrection in favor of DeMello were it not for the presence here of the crufsers Nic- theroy and America. This is no theoretical statement and announcement Dased on ru- mor alone. The correspon ent has been in- formed from most trustworthy sources that if the Nictheroy and America and other Gov- ernment vessels leave Pernambuco a revolu- tion will surely follow, and the Government troops are not expected to be very severe in the measures which they will take towards suppressing sucha movement. It is openly asserted and generally believed that the Gov- ernor of Pernambuco and nearly all the most influential people of that city and province are at heart in favor of the movement against the so-called military dictator of Brazil, It is not the intention in these dispatches to in any way side with the Insurgents or with the Government, The correspondent has endeavored to be strictly impartial and to give the facts as they are clearly represented without being influenced by the biased re- ports of either side. Thus it is that the cor- respondent has delayed mailing this state- mentasto the spread of the movement in the north in favor of the insurgents until it was Clearly Gemonstrated that such was the case. The feeling in favor of the insurgents seems to growand gather strength on the ground that President Pelxoto has assumed the role ofa military dictator, and that he proposes to continue bayonet rule so long as he thinks fit, or, in other words, so long as it is necessary to employ the troops to keep him in power. The question of a monarchcial or republican form of government is rarely touched upon, and when it is the general sentiment is strongly in favorofthe maintenance of the ro publie and the upholding of the republii- can institutions. It is upon this ground that the insurgents claimto be fighting and it is upon this ground that they are gaining strength apparently slowiy but surely, not only inthe North, but according to reports which reach here, in the south as well. The Nictheroy and America are still de- layed at Pernambuco, and the correspond- ent has been informed that the real cause of dissatisfaction —— 1 the crews, especially those who reshipped for higher wages, is the fact that . are unable to obtain the money which they claimis due them. This may or may not be the cause, andit is given out for what it is worth, and upon the statement ofa member ofthe crew of the Nictheroy. It is also reported unless the crew receive all the money due them and are assured of prompt payment in the future that there will be considerable difficulty in getting the new Brazilian cruisers to face the enemy, except they are manned by Bragilians, In which case the efficiency of the new cruisers as fighting vessels will be greatiy diminishea, amount ofthe mortga The petition rec for labor and addition to Inspector General Lendy, two were killed and three seriously wounded. The British force remains at Warin. The Governor of Sierra Leone cabied to the Marquis. of Ripon, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to-dey, confirming last nights Gispatch in all points and adding that the French pretended that they thought the British enemies, though it appears certain that the scene of the encounj ter was well onthe British side of the bor- der. The Colonial Office this afternoon an- nounces that the affair will be made the sub- ject of a stringent inquiry so soon as full de- talls of the affair are received from the Gov- ernor of Sierra Leone. The latest news from Sierre Leone says that the encounter took place during a period of bright moonlight and that when the French surprised the British force, the latter Were unprepared for the engagement and could not easily have been @istaken for Sofas. The later dispatches also say thet the French officer in command, who was mortally wounded, prior to his Geath in the British camp was able to ex- plain his blunder. Me said that in the moon- light he mistook the white campaign- ine costume of tho British om- cers for the white dress of Arab chiefs whom he supposed to be in command of a force of Sofas. It is now said that this statement of the French omcer makes it per- fectiy clear that a mistake was made by the nch and that no responsibility attaches to the British officers. a It is not yet explained, however, what the French force was doing in a locality which was well within the British border and it is this point which is lable to lead to serious complications when coupled with the shoot- ing of the British officers and soldiers. The leading English newspapers are all in- Giined to suspend judgment over the affair until full detalla ofthe engagement are re- ceived from the Governor of Sierre Leone and until an explanation is furnished by the rench authorities as to the presence within e British border of such a large force of French troops. The Daily News, which may be supposed to accurately refiect the views ofthe Govern- ment on the subject, says that the incident will form the basie of a strict inquiry upon the part of both Governments, add- ‘img: were the two nations in- volved less strong and less sure of themselves, it might result in immeasurable evil. Pending receipt of the details, no one ip this country, can fail to realise the tre- mendous responsibility which attaches to every utterance on the subject.’’ The Pall Mali Gasette remarks: The French were undoubtedly in our territory and it Is FURNISHED BOND.

Corx,Jan. 6.—At a meeting of the Corpora- tion yesterday the Mayor expressed the be- lief that the Government intended to give a new contract for the American mafis to Southampton and said that a centuryjof suc- cessfu' home rule would pot compensate Cork and Londonderry for such a loss. The Mayor proposed that a meeting be called to discuss the subject, New Arochwological Discoveries. ATH ENS, Jan. 6.—The winter session of the American School of Archmology was opened yesterday. Dr., Waldstein presented a report of the discoveries at Arges and showed new- ly discovered lapithe torso from the metopes of the Parthenon, which he found in the ruins ofthe Asklopios Temple, on the slopes of the Acropolis, to report to his client an exact accounfof the manner in which his daughter met death. George W. Baumhof?, Superintendent of the Lindell road, sat upon Rohlfiing’s right hand and prompted more than half the questions put to witnesses. The street car company manifests an in- clination to blame the pile-driver, which was at work on a house in the course of erec- tion just directly oppositethe point where the horse shied. Itwas, however, con- clusively shown that the machine had not moved since noon that day. The theories advanced were tha: the horse shied at the sound of the gong rung by the motor- man, or atthe unusual shape of the silent and inoperative pile driver. Witnesesstplaced the rate at which the car was running at the time of the accident at from twenty-five to six miles an hour. The former figure is prob- ably the more nearly correct. Samuel F. Hughes,a bricklayer, living at 8938 Cook avenue, was riding on the back latform of the caratthe time, and swore hatthe rate of travel was sofast that he was obliged to hold on to the rails. The stop when the horse was struck he sald was so sudden that he was thrown violently against the body of the car. He was so indignant at the accidentthat he called upon bystanders to assist him in lyaching the motorneer. MRS. COCKRELL DEAD. L. & N. Earnings.

VENTO, I., Jan. 6.—Many complaints are being made on account of a number of spur. ious halfdollars which are being paid out by as the Bragilians do not seem to have men enough to handle the appliances of modern warfare with which those vessels are fitted out. It is stated that the Nictheroy and her con- sort have been instructed notto engage the Aquidaban and Republica even should those two vessels arrive off Pernambuco, a con- summation which is anxiously ho for. It is said that should the rebel admiral be sig- nalled the Government vessels, including the two ships fitted ontin New York, will put to sea and trust to their superior speed to es- cape being sunelled by the rebel eruisers. Should this be the case, a revolution in Pernambuco which will declare itself in favor of De Mello, may be expected as soon as the Government warships are out of sight of land. In fact, it bas been reported that steps have already been taken looking toa popular uprising in favor of the insur- gents and the conspirators are only awaliing Charleston rallroad at St. Louis. : Hereafter the Ohio Valley road, which for some time past has been under the control of the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern, will be operated as an independent line.

The Mayor W trom some local causes, yet none exist so far as he or anyone familiar with the river can assign. The tabulated statement and maps is said to have puzzled’ more persons than the Mayor, andas he suggests the only way probably of reaching any reliable data on the subject will be the appointment of a committee of experts to thoroughly examine into the subject.

She depended on what her deaf and dumb daughter could earn by sewing and an occa- sional small remittance from her son, but it was 80 small as not to be worth mentioning. He was paymasterin the Union army. He was always smart. He built an engine un- alded when a boy. He became a railway contractor When a man. He is president of some Texas railroad I believe.

His children were cared for by that old lady. **Biess you, man, that woman is entitled to the best treatment possible to give a woman.

She's done more good for the St. Louis than all the other people know put together. I don’t pretend to say whose negiect it is that brought where she is, but its somebody’s and it ought to set very heavily on their conscience. Mrs. Finnigan says the New York Balleys when they came in response to a telegram took breakfast with her on invitation. Col. Wm. Bailey seemed a little bit confused, but explained that he had been — x up a row of flats and had been crowaed for her money. He seemed to realize that the caring for his mather by neighbors who had only known her personally since her illpess was a proper subject for comment. COL. BAILEY NOT HERE YET. Mrs. Finnigansent in breakfast to Mrs. Balley this morning. The daughter slept at Mrs. Finnigan’s. Col. Wm. Balley did not arrive this morning. He may come this evening. It. is ssible that Mrs. Ann «Bailey will removed to st. Luke’s Hospital as ill as sheis. The 2 of properly caring for her where she is may make it desirable to take the chance of removal with all its Gangers. She passed a miserable night. Five Famous Etchings.

Like Oliver Twist, you are constantly demanding more from one Con- gress to another until you have got it so high that you are ashamed to ask it in your own mame but put it in the names of those whom you employ as laborers, when, as a matter of fact, after the McKinley bill became a law wages of employes were re- duced in manufacturing industries in various parts of the country.’’ This and much more he said to callers, and, after they had taken tneir departure, he turned to a reporter and said: „This is only a specimen of importunities to whichI am subjected. Many people who are engaged in manufacturing enterprises throughout the country and in other indus- tries affected by the tariff, call upon me datly and many more write tome. What do Isay to them? I tell them that we are going to have the subject disposed of as soon as it can ~possiply be done. With the full hearings given by the House Ways and Means Committee and with replies in the Finance Committee circulars, which have been sent all over the country, there will be no necessity for pro- longed hearings by this committee, and I think we will get the bill in the Senate very shortly after it comes over from the House, I say this to my inguirers because I think it is true. Do you tell them the bill will de mater- lally changed by the Finance Committee?’’ „do not. I seethere are reports current that the Finance Committee will reporta substitute forthe bill. Ido not consider this probable. This committee may make changes in some of the schedules, but the Wilson bill will be the basis of recommendation and will be the bill which the Senate will consider and pass. It is possible that we may change among others the sugar schedule. As I look at the matter now I think we shall, but I cannot sayin what respect. As to all raw materials, I believe in leaving them where the bill puts them. I do not giveany en- couragement to those seeking to restore the tariff on coal and iron ore. I do not believe it needs it. And I cannot see what further protection the manufacturers ought to have than what they get by giving them free raw material.’’ Asked whether he indorsed the action of the Ways and Means Committee in recom- mending the income tax, Mr. Voorhees re- plied that he did and said he believed that no political party could doa wiser thing than vote suchatax.

ZELLER CAPTURED. The Grocery Clerk Who Disappeared With §245 Under Arrest. At 12 o’cloc¥ last night John Zeller, alias Buck, was placed in jailon a warrant charg- ing him with grand larceny. The prosecut- ting witness is the grocery firm of Hackman Bros., at Thirteenth and Hickory streets, for whom Zeller until a month ago was em- ployed in the capacity of a _ clerk and driver. Nearly a month ago Zeller was sent by his employer to deposit $245 in the bank. The wagon which he drove he abandoned at Eleventh and Poplar streets and then disappeared without Gepositing the money. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest, but although a close watch was placed on his customary haunts, the authorities were unable to locate him, It was finally ascertained that Zeller had leftthecity. Recently he returned and last night Deputy Sheriff Hatton called at the residence of Zeller’s prrents ina rear house on South Broadway near Marion street, and there he found the much sought fugitive. Zeller is 27 years old and single. He bears a good reputation beyond this particular charge. He claims that he lost the money at some point an the road between Thirteenth and Hickory streets and Eleventh and Pop- lar streets, and being afraid to return to his employers under the circumstances, decided to taco flight at once; The police claim that Zeller’s downfallis due to his admiration or rather his relations with a woman who bears his name and who resides on Fourth near Spruce streets. ATTEMPTED ASSAULT. Mrs. Henry Scheidel Attacked by an Un- known Man— ast Side News. Mrs. Mary Scheidel, wife of Henry Scheidel, a shoemaker residing at 1205 Missouri avenue, was attacked on her own premises last night by an unknowg man, whose purpose, presumably, was to criminally assault her. She was crossing the yard in the rear of the house when the man seized her and at- tempted to throw her to the ground. Her outcry caused the man to release her and fiee before she could get a glimpse at his face. Police Officer Edwards was notified shortly afterward and followed the tracks of the man across the commons to Thirteenth street, but there the trail was lost. Mrs. Louisa Tourville obtained a judgment in the City Court to-day against the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen for $1,950.

Previous to his deat T ourville was expelled, and after he died the widow was unable to obtain the amouat of her husband’s policy from the order.

The six separate sections of the Society of Pedagogy met in the new High School oa Grand avenue this morning. The attendance at each session was Very fair, and the discus- sions unusually interesting. No papers were read asin former meetings of the society, but instead the leader of each section lec- tured, and those of the audience who saw fit discussed his subject with him. In the psychology section Supt. Long led the discussion. He spoke of the relation between mind and matter, bring- ing out the special provinceof perceptio and defining its various phases. e also dis cussed Kant’s Oritique of Pure Reason.’ His remarks elicited a very interesting dis- cussion, perticipated in by Profs. Evans, Quinn, Luckie and others, notably Miss M. Slater. Miss. Slater quoted Kant other philosophers fluently and readily, and showe herself un- usually well versed on the subject. There were about forty-fivefteachers, mostly rincipals, present in Supt. Long’s section. n the ethics section, Prof. Wm. M. Bryan was the leader. He took up the Roman peri and talked of the ‘‘Institutionalism and its and the Autithetical Forms of Epicureanism and Stoicism.’’ There were about seventy pres- ont in this division, and also in Prof. Uook’s.

It seems that the Queen has reconsidered her objections to acceding to the conditions exacted and that Minister Willis has pro- ceeded on the line of his original instructions, notifying the Provisional Gov- ernment that they are expected to retire in oraer to allow the restoration of the Queen. Nothing can be learned as to the extent of the disturbance caused by this action, but that there is a condition of tension and great excitement in Honolulu is certain.

Senator Gray of Delaware, who. is the spokesman for the Hawallan policy on the floor of the Senate, called later, and had a short conference with the Secretary of State. g There is no doubt that all concerned feel that this latest phase of the Hawalian im- broglio involves very serious consequences. It doesnot appear that there is any dis- position on the part of the Provisional Gov- whnment to yield peaceably. and there i no apprehension that Minister Willls roposes to resort to force.

JEFFERSON City, Mo., Jan. 6.—Atty.-Gen. Walker to-day commenced quo warranto proceedings against the bond investment compantes of the State, asking that the char- ter of each be annulled. The three bond companies affected by these proceedings are the St. Louis Mutual Investment Co., the Pettis County Investment Co. of Sedalia and the Guarantee Investment Uo, of Nevada. These concerns were granted certificates of incorporation under the provisions of sub- division 11. sec. 2,771, art. 8, chap. 42, Re- vised Statutes of 1689, which provides for the incorPorotion of manufacturing and busi- ness companies. Secretary of State Lesueur refused to in- corporate the companies, but was overruled by the then Attorney-General. The Secre- tary of State has never receded from his first views in regard to theseecompanies. Gen. Walker in his petition claims that they were wrongfally incorporated and without any authority in law, andasks that all persons interested be enjoined from the issuing of bonds under the pretended authority of said companies; and, further, that the parties acting under such charter be ousted from authority and that the pretended corpora- tions be declared a nullity. This is the beginning of the end, and bond investment companies acting under Missourt charters will soon be things of the past. This, it is surmised, will be the result of these proceedings, and Secretary of State Lesueur will stand vindicated in his attitude toward these companies. Will Fight the Proceedings. The three investment companies will make a fight in their own interests when the time comes and express every confidence of winning the suit. In speaking of the mat- ter this afternoon Mr. W. H. Robinson, man- ager of the St. Louis Mutual Bond Investment „Said: **I was informed nearly three months ago M Walker anticipated insti- proceedings, but did before that he had really begunthem. I will state, however, that ne was urged to take the action he has by the insurance companies and the Building and Loan Associations whose business we have crippled to no little extent.

Secretary of State Leseuer in- formed mo the other day that we should have incorporated underthe trust company act.

There has beena should apers and don’t think we molested further, Until the have been served on me do not care to discuss the matter further, but when they are, I will be ready and willing to give out some inside facts re- garding these quo-warranto proceedings.’’ The offices of the Guarantee Investment Co. of Nevada are located in Chicago, while the offices of the Pettis County Investment Co. are at Sedalia.

Pretty Antoinette Edenborn, the 16-year- ola daughter of William Edenborn, the wealthy president of the St. Louis Consoli dated Steel and Wire Co., was instantly killed yesterday at 3:25 p. m., while riding east on horseback on Park avenue, between California and Ohio avenues, by car No. 25 of the Compton Heights division ofthe Lindell Rallway Co., as stated in the 5:30 o’clock edition of the Post - DISPATCH last evening. At the point where the accident occurred there is a decided incline, down which the cars glide rapidly. Miss Edenborn was in no danger until her steed became alarmed at the noise ofa pile-driver at work jn a cellar. The car was then Spaning as full regulation speed on the ade. The horse sidled over on the car track and while Motor- man James Harola desperately endeavored to check the speed of the large car the frantic horse danced on the track. The next moment the car struck the animal, and when the eyes of all witnesses opened on the scene again Miss Edenborn’s lifeless form was lying on the north track. Her left arm was severed, her neck was broken, and there was an awful gashin her forehead. The mangled horse lay on the other side, writhing in agony until a bullet froma police officer’s revolver ended its career. The body of the dead girl was then removed tothe resi- dence of her parents, 2017 Park avenue.

LOUIS TWENTY YEARS AGO.. Brought the Northern and Southern Min- isters Together— Conversions Made by Him— His Great Revivals in Spur- geon’s Big London Tabernacle—The Originator of Work Among the Chil- eren. Rev. E. Payson Hammond, the great evan- gelist, arrived here at 7 o’clock this morning from Hartford, Conn. He was mot at the depot by the members of the Reception Com- mittee and escorted to the residence of Mr. James Stuart, 4010 West Belle place, where the party were entertained at breakfast. Mr. Hammond was seen during the morn- ing by a Post-Disratca representative. He is a well-preserved man, middle-aged, mus- cular in dulld and magnetic in manner. et is twenty years since I held a revival in St. Louis, hesaid. ‘‘I only hope to be able to repeat the success I attainedthoen. A pe- culiar fact of my previous visit is that it was due almost entirely to a change of heart ex- perienced by a newspaper man who came to attend my meeting. I was holding a revival in Alton, andone of your morning papers sent a man up to get up a humorous article on the revival. I remember him as an En- glishman who wrote shorthand and was a clever sketcher. He sat through an experi- ence meeting,’ came back to town and told his editor the meeting could not be caricatured. He turned out a ~*nine- column special on the revival, and on the strength of the article I was invited to come to St. Louis, although I was on the pointof leaving for California. We had a wonderful meeting here, Ben De Bar offered me the Opera-house tree on Sunday nights. We had as many as 4,000 people packed in the house and nearly as many out- side. One incident I remember well was the conversion of Commodore Davidson, who owned a line of steamboats running between here and St. Paul. The result of his conver- sion was that he cut off the sale of liquors on his boats, the revenue from which was $13,000 a year. DESORIBES HIS SERVICES. Ho do I conduct my revivals? Well, the methods ares hard to describe, but the plan is simple enough. 1 begin with a morning prayer-meeting, lasting an hour. I speak only fifteen minutes, read tha Scripturesand give out the hymns. Other ministers present give short addresses. When the service proper is over I invite all those who wish, to remain. The choir sings on, a person entering would not think ser- vice was going on, everyone is talking together, the ministers are moving among the en oe Suddenly I raise my hand and signal the choirto stop. lannounce that one of the congregation has experienced a change of heart and will give his experi- ence. Sometimes a thrilling story, of return to grace is told that arouses the congregation to intense enthusiasm. The morning meet- ing continues until the noon hour and often until 1 o’clock. “The afternoon meeting is for the children. We attain greater results with less labor among the children than the adults, and the results are more lasting. ‘ihe work among children is universaliy recognized as of the highest importance nowadays. I take some pride in the fact that I was an origi- nator of the movement. When I commenced my children’s meetings in Spurgeon’s Tabernacie in London the ministers said, What's this converting children? Nonsense!’ They speak differently now. At the close of my meeting they begged metostay. I said ‘No; you can do this work as well as I.’ tion called the Children’s Special Service Mission, that has wrought a great change among the youth in England. Ihave given my heart and soul to the work among chil- dren because I love it, and it means so much, After an afternoon with the children the evening service is for grown folks. I deliver alengthy address, occupying most of the evening. 8At the conclusion there is a consultation for those who wish to speak privately with me. a successful meeting loox encouragement press, tor I regard newspapers as a great medium in spreading the word of Christ.“ Dr. Hammond could not be expected to describe his methods, but those who have An incident told of him is that one night in Rochester, . V., he was speaking on courage. 10 illus- trate his subject he gave a dramatic recital of the Charge of the Light Brigade,’’ some of the ministers on the plat- form were shocked at the innovation. Late that night Mr. Hammond was pulled out of to go down and see a convert. It was one ot the 600, Private Godfrey by name, who had fallen tothe depths of degradation, but had been won back by Mr. Hammond’s ser- mon. THE MEETING TWENTY YEARS 400. Mr. James Stuart, with whom Mr. Ham- mond is staying temporarily, gave some very interesting reminiscenses of the great revival of twenty years ago. The meet- ings, he said, were held in David Nichol.- son’s Hall, De Bar's Opera-house, the Mer- cantile Library and Masonic Hall. They were crowded tothe doors and those who could not get in blocked the streets. When de came out and attempted to mount his big black horse on which he rode home from the meetings, the crowd would hold him foran hourto geta word from him or shake his hana. One remarkuble thing he did wasto get a big wagon from Jesse Arnot and hold an open air meeting on Green street, which was then the most disreputable portion of the city. A crowd of thugs gathered about the vehicle and were for mobbing him, bu he held his own. The women in the resortt opened their windows and listened. Then they joined in the singing. As a result of that meeting one unfortunate woman closed up her resort, several of her inmates became converted and she herself is to-day the matron of a charitabie home in the East. Perhaps the greatest result of his meeting here at that time was the reconcil- lation he effected between the Northern and Southern ministers. Sectional feeling was very bitter, and the local ministers on either side were not on speaking terms. On the day of his departure he had them all on the plat- form; he united them all; they shook hands andembraced, and sixty ministers and their wives. Northern and southern, alike, sat down at a farewell banquet given him. Mr. Hammond’s greatest work perhaps was accomplished in London where he preathed in Spurgeon's big tabernacle that holds 6,000 people, The Earl of Shaftesbury, who wasatthe head of the committee in charge of the revival, reported that during the seven months of the meeting there had been an average of 50) conversions a week. Dr? Hammond's meetings will be given at People’s Central Church, Eleventh and Lo- Cust streets, beginning to-morrow at 11 o'clock, when he will preach on The Con- version of Children.’’ In the afternoon he will hold a ehildren’s meeting and in the evening at S o'clock he will deliver a regular evangelistic address. for Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway Improved Service.

While the thieves were ransacking the house the old lady escaped and, running toa neighbor’s, gave the alarm. The neighbors at once went to the house, but the robbers had flown with their booty. There is no clew to their identity. An Assassin Betrayed. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 6.—The murderer of Bachelor John Cunningham has been be- trayed by his mistress.

Kenifick, the popular Clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction, who was believed to be dying yesterday and last night, took a change for the better this morning and is reported out of danger by his physicians to-day. Mr. Kentfick is suffering from erysipelas. He had an attack of pneumonia some weeks ago. Before he had entirely recovered from the attack his brother Patrick Keni- fick died, and, contrary to the advice of his physician, Mr. Kenifick attended the funeral. He caught cold and erysipelas set in. He is attended by Drs. Thomas O'Reilly and John G. Parish. Last night the case seemed hopeless and his friends gathered at his home expecting his death to occur during the night. At 5 o’clock this morning the crisis was reached and resulted in a change for the better. The physicians, after — the change in the patient fora time, state that Mr. Kenifick would recover, unless some unforeseen change took place. William Fitzgerald, chief deputy under Mr. Kenifick, is alsoa very sick man, though he is compelled by Mr. Kenifick’s illness to be at his post. He is suffering from a throat troubdie and was confined at his home when Mr. Kenifick first took sick. Though in an unfit condition to be out, he has since at- tended to the Clerk’s duties in the Court of Criminal Correction, Dr. J. H. Parrish, the attending physician, stated this morning that Mr. Kenefick, though improving slightly, has only a fair chance of recovery, as he is yet unconscious. A Favorable SIGN PAINTERS ON TRIAL. Gunning Bros.’ Case Comes Up In the Court of Criminal Correction. The case of the city against the R. J. Gun- ning Advertising Uo, for maintaining an alleged illegal sign on the building at the northeast corner of Broadway and Washington avenue is being tried in the C ourt of Criminal Correction to- day, the case having been appealed from the Police Court, where the Gunning Co. was fined $100. The ordinance provides that signs larger thanacertain size shall be of metal. The sizes in dispute were of canvas. The suit has been in the courts for some time, The real par- ty at interest in the suit is the Parisian Cloak Co., which occupies the lower floor of the building on which the signs were placed. The I. B. Rosenthal Millinery Co. formerly occupied the upper floors of the building and when it moved out leased the premises to the Gun- ning company, which put upcanvas signs extending across both sides of tne build- ing. Mr. A, A. Aal, manager of the Parisian Cloak Co,, secured a lease of the upper stories of the building, beginning Jan. 1. 1694, and the signs have been removed. CRUISER OLYMPIA.

No words are too strong far con- demnation of those Democrats who are willfully absent from their places. The welfare of the whole country de- pends upon the prompt action of Congress in the matter of tariff legislation. Busi- ness is plunged in disastrous stagnation on account of uncertainty. Thousands of pendent upon charity for bread because there is no work to do. The Demo- cratic party is subjected to a crucial test of trustworthiness. The people must judge by the conduct of its representa- tives in this crisis, by their faithfulness and energy in meeting the emergency, whether the party can be intrusted with power. Yet with all of these pressing reasons for prompt action and faithful attention to business, the party is rendered helpless by the failure of Congressmen to perform their duties. It is subjected to the scorn of the people and the _ ridicule of its enemies. Witha majority of ninety in the House, it has been unable to muster a quorum for three days. It cannot trans- act business without the consent of Re- publicans. Three important legislative days have been wasted through the ab- sence of members. Absenteeism under these circumstances isacrime. In ordinary business it would bring instant dismissal. In the occupa- tion of legislation, where the welfare of the country depends upon promptness, it merits dismissal more than in any other. The Democratic absentebs have proved un- faithful servants. They have earned dis- missal.

Harmful deception is really no laughing matter, but the case is so ridiculows that these writers might almost be pardoned for their levity. Week in and week out since the repeal of the Sherman bill, they have been din- ning it into the ears of their readers that the sole cause of all the depression that has come upon the country has been the apprehension of manufacturers that the tariff tinkering done by Mr. McKinley would be rejected by the present Congress. They have painted to closing mills, to un- employed thousands, to destitute poor, and they have raised such a how! as has rarely been heard anywhere else in the world before. All the preliminaries of the present sit- uation have been silently passed by and the exaggeration of its worst features have been noisily and persistently kept up. They have taken it for granted that the issue of §2,000,000,000 of railroad bonds, stocks and notes that have ap- peared within the past six years is un- known; that no one is aware that the trust and industrial combinations issued nearly a billion more of paper, and that all sorts of corporate credit have been stretched tothe utmost. They have made no note of the innumerable booms and de- talcations in this country or the disastrous results of speculation by foreign capitafists in Australia and elsewhere. It is sup- posed to be forgotten that so conspicuous & person as the late Secretary of the United States Treasury did more than anyone else to bring about finagcial disasters in his own State. Even Zimri Dwiggius is lost in the dust that has been raised over the alleged calamities that are to follow a moderate \ than consistent with safety COMPLAINTS are pouring into this office able-bodied men willing to work are de- Speaker Crisp fairly stated the case when | too fond of | that high speed, and and make a ‘ * 4 A 7 4 „ ö > wie ; R 4 - a 7 — ” : 4 3 * 4, 9 oo ite * he 4 1 22 bith “och : * — their credulous readers believe anticipation of what will be ly an honest piece of much needed alation is the cause of all our woes, can ‘be conceived by a mind educated in the partisan subterfuges of the times.

The movement for the better care of youthful prisoners at the Four Courts, particularly young girls, is likely to result in a complete change of the present per- nicious system which makes criminals out of many innocent children. In Pennsylvania there is a humane statute which might well be adopted in Missouri. It provides that‘‘no child under restraint or correction, under 16 years of age, shall be placed in any apartment or cell of any prison or place of confinement orinany court-room during the trial of adults, or in any vehicle of transportation in company with adults charged with or convicted of crime.’’ It further provides that the trials of children acoused of crime or misdemeanor shall be heard at times separate and apart from the trial of other criminal cases, and a separate docket and record shall be kept. In St. Louis there is nothing but the good sense and humanity of the officials to de- pend upon for a reform. There is no doubt that they will do all they can, but much more might be accomplished by some such enactment as that quoted above. Not only in the bholdover, but in the court-room and the Black Maria,’’ are children, innocent and guilty, exposed to sights and sounds from which they should be most carefully shielded. Legislation of some kind, however, is needed before ade- quate protection can be assured. It is to be hoped that the reform will not be con- sidered complete until this is accom- plished. — * — -_— — ea wr PRESIDENT McoMarT3sH is right in saying that disorderly demonstrations of property owners over petitions for street improve- ments ought to be stopped. But the best way to stop them isto carefully avoid, whenever possible, the causes which lead to popular demonstrations of disapproval. The attempt to force an asphalt monopoly on the taxpayers has long been a matter of indignant protest, and complaints about the conduct of contractors have been loud and constant. If the Board of Public Im- rights and interests of taxpayers they would not be troubled with unpleasant demonstrations. —— — f — — L. L.

But is not na lt ot the national expend ttures on war account? Is not a war tax of 2 per cent on large incomes better than a worse-than-war tax of 100 per cent upon woolens? It 16 that such a tax is inquisitorial. It is not more inquisitorial than the re ot commercial agencies. It is not half as in- quisitorial as the tariff law, nor more so tha u the internal - revenue system. It ig declared that an income tax is *“‘monarchical.’’ But this chatter from the pearrot’s cage does not require an answer. Is there any tax that a monarchy does not levy when it needs the money which it will bring? Shall we abolish the tariff because Germany has imitated McKinleyism, or sur- render our revenue from tobacco and spirits because England taxes these articles? It is asserted that the tax will be unpopu- lar. How can a tax be unpopular which will apply to less than 100,000 out of a voting pop- ulation of over 12,000,000? Does Mr. Cockran really think that this is a plutocracy where wealth rules, not men? None of these objections has any force. The common sense of the people sees at once that a tax on large incomes is just and that it cannot be oppressive. Its imposition would not only put the extra burden upon those best able to bear it, but it would con- duce to economy in the Government by en- listing the direct interest of the wealthy class in keeping public expenditures down. * No Idling Now. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The Democrats have a majority In the House of Representatives so large that any delay ofthe public business for want of a quorum will be laid at their doors. The tariff Dill must be passed promptly ,and in order to pass it promptly the Democrats will have to stick to their posts. The Congressman who idles away the nation’s time at such a crisis assumesa grave responsibility tor himself and his party. Easy on Congressmen. From the Louisville Evening Times. The proposed 2 per cent tax on incomes applies only to the excess of $4,000. This would take only $20a year from a Congress- man's salary, and he can easily save more than that amount from his allowance for stationery. Brace up, statesmen, and pass the Wilson bill. .

N in answer to the letfer of Mr. J. R. Bettis of 1 Jan. 1 in which he proposes to correct my misapprehensions, Mr. Bettis says that it is not proposed to change wagons, but the small apparatus at the rear. I understood, of course, that the controversy is not on wheels or axles, but the sprinkler necessarily the wagon question with it. as is Ca erly wall Known to Mr. Wagenman and ir. Marphy. Both of the parties who are trying to have their device adopted manu- tacture wagons in another State. If our sprinkling season Commences March 1, and our contracts are not let till about Feb. 1, and the contracts call for some patent de- vice is it not reasonable to suppose that the party having the patent will furnish the wa- gons that will be wanted, and also furnish thh apparatus for all the old wagons in the city. There will not be time enough between the contract letting and the commencement of the sprinkling season for local makers to make arrangements with the tentee, even if he would consent to sell them the apparatus, Which is not at all licel when he has things fixed to suit him. Ji there should happen to de any new con tractors in the field this year there may be fifty new wagons needed, and whether there ie new contractors or not there will te some new wagons bougnt. If fifty are wanted that means that $18,000 will be sent to support labor in other States. I have been informed that there is about 200 sprink- ling Wagons in St. Louls. If the price will not be advanced because of the fact that we are compelled to use them, the sprinkler can be bought for $75. It will be worth $25 to remove the old sprinkler and adjust the new one, There is $20,000 more that will be sent away for the good of st. Louls. Who pays for allthis fadism? Isit the manufac- turer in some other State? Is it the party that brings the $10,000 dere to corrupt our paid officers, as referred to in your paper of recent date, or eis it the bribe taker, if such there be, not at all the tax payers of St. Louls, among whom are the wagon makers who pay it and make it pos- sible for urphy and Wagenman to draw fat salaries? I have talked with several mea who have driven sprinkling wagons for years. They say that there are several sprinklers in st. Louisthat have been used for years thatcan do first-class work, that can be adjusted to sprinkle light or heavy. Most of these wagons were made here, one at least, of the devices, was made here and not patented, St, Louis is the best sprinkled city in the United States and she has achieved that distinction without her con- tractors being compelled to use any particu- lar patent. ‘they have always had tue best in the marketandif the new patents have merit and prove to be better than those now in use, they willbuy them. J. H. MCCABE. Free Lodgings. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head. On Christmas evening I visited the Police Station at Tower Grove, and as early as 8:30 twenty-three men had been given lodging, eleven were putin one cell and twelve in another. These cells have an asphalt or cement floor, and are less than 910 feet square. They were kindly treated by the officers in charge, who, asking theirnames and occu- paticns, found among them fourteen labor- ers, one blacksmith, one cook, one wagon- maker, one coal miner, one wood engraver, one plumber and one painter. They all said they could read and write. They did not seem to be drinking men and the officers said they believed the men were worthy of being caredjfor and that they werejwhnat they represented themselves to be. Some time since lI wrote a fetter to paper advocating the establishing of a free lodging-house ora number of them. Since then a Writer in the Forum, signing himself A Saint, offered to secure a dullding for that purpose and made some suggestions that were practical and worthy of consideratioa, The plan to establish a free lodging house has been met with the argument that there would bea number of professional tramps who would take advantage of it. No, I think not, if underjthe supervision of Chief Law rence Harrigan, What if a few did? Must good men suffer because a few who deserve no sympathy receive assistance? Again it is claimed that the sanitary laws would be vio- lated by the establishment ofa free lodging house. Not necessarily so. Those who claim this forget that it is dangerous to crowd twenty-three men into the smailspace re- ferred to above, forget that dow in the cheap lodging houses the sanitary reguiations are not the best, but that only for these houses (poor though the accommo- dations be) and for the kind acts of some of their owners there would be more suffering than there 18. On every corner down town one is accosted by some poor unfortunate or sf some pro- fessional beggar seeking a nickelor a dime to buy a night’s lodging. It is asking almost too much of a policeman to expect him to arrest these people when their only seeming offense is trying to find a shelter from the elements. A free lodging-house would stop this, be- cause there would be no excuse for these de- mands, and it would protect the worthy who are unfortunate. It cannot be disputed that there is an army of able-bodied, good men in our great city who are unable to secure work enough to pay fora night’s lodging. Something ought to be done to provideashelter for these men. I trust thatthe charitable organizations that are doing so much for the poor of our great city will take hold of this matter. Oh, friends and brothers, gliding flows the years, Humanity is ealllng each and all In tender accents, born of grief and tears! I pray you, listen tothe thrilling call. Yoa cannot, in your cold and séliish pride, Pass guliiticssly by on the other side. JEFF POLLARD. your Faulty Municipal Taxation. Tothe Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The last report of the Comptroller of this city should be in the hands of every voter. Even a superficial perusal will convince the uninitiated that those who receive the most benefit from the city government, dy means best known to themselves, escape paying their just share of the publicexpenses. In license taxes the cigy collected $1,338,415.68; dramshops paid, , 382.64; merchants, $173,- 824.386; manufacturers, $134,630.35; dogs were dear at $7,711.50, and banks, brokers and financial agents were let down easy with 55.60% to their credit. The street railroads paid $17,508.28 on rolling stock, improve- ments, machinery, etc. The rate of taxation for city purposes for the year 18920n the $100 valuation was $1 and it seems somewhat singular that railroad property which cannot be duplicated for less than $5,000,000 should pay such a paltry sum. There must be a leak somewbere. As a matter of justice the prodacts of labor should not be taxed at all, because the tax is added to the prices of such products, bat as long as the present laws are on our statute books they should be rigidly enforced with- out fear and favor. But while assessors may make mistakes, commit perjury by violating their oaths of office, show favoritism or be open to conviction on the part of those in the push, they are angels compared with some of the individuals who were delegated to watch over the city’s interosts. The collections on chises amounted to $50. 461.28. No wonder the people are poor and the city unable to meet its aDiigations.

UNCLE Tom, oters Exclusive Favors. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: lread the following Washington dispatch in your issue of Dec. 29: **Chairman Springer of the Bankruptcggad Currency Committee: of the House hag prepared a national cur- ren¢y bill providing for the issue of legal. tender notes to any King assocta- tion organized under the laws of the United States or any State or territory whicn Is solvent and has a capital stock actually ald up in cash of at least $75,000, he notes are not to de subject to the 10 per cent tax exceptas provia in the act and the bonds deposited for their security are ex · empt from taxation during the time they re- main on deposit. The banks depositing bonds must guarantee their payment and all the assets of the bank are liable therefor. strin- gent provisions are inserted for enforcing the liability of Danks to the United States and for determining the safety of the securities de- posited.’’ Now I would like to ask Mr. 8 e Pro- through your valuable paper, why s to favor the bankers? Why not the merchants and manufacturers who have a paid up capital of $75,000 or over, and are solvent? Asa matter of fact the banks have plenty of money, but they ask such interest and security that manufacturers cannot afford to borrow, and have been compelled to close down. If the object of Mr, Springer’s bil is to re- lieve the money market and business depres- sion he should change the bill to read mer- chants and manufacturers, instead of bank- ers. The money will then be put in circula- tion in the shape of wages. There are factories in this city that have been compelled to close because they could not discount paper ata reasonable rate, and there are hundreds throughout the country in the same fix. Personally I am opposed to the bill, but if we must have it, why, give us the ‘‘greatest good for the greatest number. W. B. LONG. Exempting Capital From Taxation. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: A man who reads the Post-DisPaATH and who doubtless considers himself a good Democrat puts forth in your Forum some re- markable doctrine—doctrine that is thorough- ly in line with McKinileyism and its kindred absurdities. By all means let us exempt manufactories from taxation, Let us make the man who owns his little cottage pay for the police protection afforded; for the fire patrol; for the other benefits the city bestows 1 capital; but when we have done this let us prate no more ot „equal rights to all; special privileges to none. 10 manufactorites, says he, „don't fine them inthe sha of taxes.’ lf it is necessary to bribe — in order to got it to revolve in St. Louis let voluntary subscriptions de made by those most inter- ested, and let old Missouri be the last to grant exemption from taxation to any corporation. Let capital pay its just proportion for the protection af- forded it by the commonwealth and tiie State; andlet us get out of the notion of making a capitalist feel that he does the community a great favor—greater than the community does him—whena he allows me and my neighbor to work for bim for the same amount that we would get shoveling dirt. Every good Democrat knows more than to believe in such stuff, and there is no hope for Republicans. This sort of thing is their re- gion. O. A. W. get the Snakes With Feet. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch? I believe it to be true that snakes used to walk. They run now. They have innumer- able legs which they suddenly draw in on being struck. When thrown on hot coals a snake will disclose its feet, which are red, though I hope no one will torture any poor creature to verify this last statement. 7 A DAUGHTER OF EVE. A BEAR STORY. Rumer the Missouri Pacific Is About to Have a Receivership. New York, Jan. 6.—The Dears are certain- ly playing into the hands of their opponents by fostering the circulation of rumors affect- ing the credit of corporations and firms, which stories have falled to materialize, and are not likely to in the future, for that mat- ter. Their latest victimis Missouri Pacific, If half that was said about that property this morning were true the company might be considered to be in a hopelessly bankrupt condition and a receivership imminent. The contradictions by officials of the compan were so emphatic that if the appointment of a receiver were at all likely the statement made to-day would forever discredit them in the eyes of the financial community. The bears have evidently struck a snag in this in- sensational rumors put stance and, as the ag Ry afloat earlier in the week naught, they have undoubtedly weakened their position. HORSEWHIPPED HER.

She doe: know the exact amount she has paid, the receipts she has show that she pa 578. 0. and she states that she lost a large number ot others. How much she owes now she does not know, as she claims Peters has not told her exactly, but sent a messenger to her twice this week telling her he would take her furniture if she did not hurry up with her monthly installment, The old colored woman makes probably _ $10 or $15 a month, and she has for the past four years been saving a portion of her meager pittance regularly to meet the de | mands of an exacting money shark, Now she is threatened with the loss of her furni- ture after paying the amount ot her debt with interest three times over. HER TRANSACTIONS, On Feb. 22, 1890, she went to Peters, she says, and stated that she wanted to borrow $15. Hetold her, she says,she could have that amount by paying $2.20 a month interest and giving him a mortgage on her furniture for security that the sum would be paid in full, She accordingly got the $15, she states, paid him $2.20 down, and for six successive months duplicated this performance on every 224. When‘ she had paid $10 of the $15 back she conceived the idea of borrowing $10 more, she states. Peters gave her the extra $10, she says, and then she owed $15in all. Since that time August, 1890, she states. she has paid Peters amonthly installment of 2. 20 invariably, and still she has not given him enough to satisfy his claims against her. The receipts she had and which she showed a Posr-Dis- PATCH representative amount to $73.20. They range in date from Feb. 22 1890, to Oct. 14, 1898, and are of such regular dating as to confirm her story that she has lost a number of the intervening receipts. HER STORY. „1 happened to need the money, said she, about four years ago, and as I was ro- ferred to Mr. Peters I thought I would go to him.

Clayton's Girl Prisoner Tells How She Came to Steal $65 From Mrs. Dennis —An Unknown Girl Got Her to Steal the Money and Helped Her to Spend It. Bessie Young, the pretty 12-year-old child who has been in gail at Clayton fora week, was taken to Florissant yesterday afternoon and this morning given a preliminary bear- ing before Squire Belleville. She pleaded guilty tothe charge of stealing $65, and was bound over to await the action of the County January Grand-jury. Bess is a most peculiar type of the female prisoner. She is bright, win- some, talkative, and possesses many features that make her attractive, still she appears to be utterly destitute of all moral sense. She admits taking the money, but does not seem to mind the consequences to her of her theft, She has never cried over her imprisonment, but, on the contrary, seems to like her recent adventure. She Smiles and talks pleasantly with the jail guards and visitors and does not even say she is sorry for what she dia. „Bess“ lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Young, on the Columbia Bot- tom road, up beyond Baden. Near by lived a Mts. Dennis. Some months ago Bess went to work for her, and a few weeks ago she left, taking the money just previous to her departure. Her explanation of her motives is peculiar. THE MYSTERIOUS GIRL. **About two weeks ago, she said to a POST-DISPATCH reporter, I was down in Baden right where that little bob-taii car stops. Some man was getting arrested by a policeman, and a big crowd came up to learn what was the matter. I went over to see, and a girl came and stood nextto me. she was a girl about 18, with dark hair and dark eyes and a biue dress tied in the back with a string and loose in front. She asked me what my name was and I told her. I asked her hers and she said it was Emma Dunson. She asked me where I lived and 1 told her I was working for Mrs. Dennis. I asked her where she lived and she said she wouldn’t tell me, and said she wouldn't work for anybody as poor as Mrs. Dennis. ‘Oh,’ said I, Mrs. Dennis ain't poor. she's got a whole lot o“ money.’ ‘Sure?’ said she. ‘How do you know?’ ‘How do I know?’ said I, ‘Why, I’ve seen it often. I know tde drawer she keeps her big roll of bills in.“ Then the girl got real confidential and said: ‘You know what I’d doifIwas you. I'd just go and getthat money and have a good time with it. Itell you what you do. You get it, come down here and meet me and we’ll go spend it. Sol went up to Mrs. Dennis’ while she was out and got the whole$6. Then I da we thing and the next day again. Four days we went down town, and she made me spend all of my money, andshe hardly spent any of hers. One day she brought her sister down, and 1 bought the sister a dress. she wouldn’t spend any of her money at all. She was too slick. She wouldn’t say who she was or where she lived at all. When I asked her where she lived she said it wouldn’t do any good to tell me, as her mamma didn’t let any little girls come there to play with her. Ah, she was pretty cute. CAUGHT STEALING. hen all my money was gone she told me to go back and get some more. I went back Sunday, and, thinking nobody was looking, I went to the drawer and had just taken $4 when Mrs. Dennis caught me. I gave her the §4 back and then she had me ar- rested and bad my papa arrested, too. They had no right to arrest him, though.

San FRANCISCO, Cal., Jap. 6.—Up to a late hour last night it was stil impossible to get any facts of consequence from the Corwin, which arrived from Honolulu yesterday. The policy of secrecy all along adopted by Pres- ident Cleveland in regarc to Hawalian affairs was closely adhered to by Capt. Munger, com- manding the Government cutter. News- paper men and others mide desperate efforts to board the vessel and @tsome sort of an interview with any onecn board, but they were all kept at a distince. The Corwin took every precaution to prevent any of the officers or crew from leaking. Despite all care by Oapt. Munger, however, two statemeits of significance were gleaned. One wasthat ‘‘a big row had taken place at Honoluls,’’ according to one of the sallors; the other was that the Corwin left Honolulu the day efter Christmas, and that no conflict had teen precipitated be- tween Dec. 22 and the day of her saliing. @mShortly after the arrival of the cutter off San Franciscoa cipher lispatch containing 1,400 words was rushed tothe city and tele- graphed to Secretary Gresham at Washing- ton, but noinkling of its contents could be gleaned. Later the Corwin steamed through Raccoon Straits up into San Fable Bay, ostensibly on her course to Mare Islan i navy yards. The newspaper men then took measures to intercept the vessel at he navy yard and make a last effort to talk with some member ofthe crew. In This, however, they were also disappointed, as the Corwin had evi dently anticipated such t move and had an- chored in some protecting bay for the night, as at a late hour she had not reached the Mare Island yards, — __ _ THERE is youthfulness and good looks in a fine head of hair, If ycurs is harsh, faded, gray or scanty, use PaARKeR’s Hark BALSAM, Mrs. McGrath’s Remains Buried.

Quite a number of prominent citizens were up be- fore Judge Meegan iz the Caronde- let Police Court this morning charged with violating cit) ordinances in failing to make sower connectiougs. Among those whose eases came up this inorning and were continued until next week were Howard A. Blossom, the well-known insur- ance man, and Wm. 8. Patrick, Fritz Uhde and De do, citizens of Carondelet. many citizens te make sewer connection for their property as required by law recalls the famous Stein street sewer fight. The Stein street sewer is one of the largest in South St. Louis, as well as one of the most needed. After it had boen putinat considerable expense by the city, the property owners refused to make sewer cennections wiih it. The case was taken into court, and the property-owners won, and ae result sewer connections throughout the lower portien of Carondeiet have not yet been made, much to the detriment of the heaith of the district. Mrs. Eliza Leonard was fined costs in the Carondelet Police Court this morn- ing for maintaining a nuisance on der premises at Pennsyivania ang Loughborough ave- nues. On rs. Leonard’s assurance that it had been removed the judge staved the fine.
