Ralph S. Spriggs, the Mayor of Chester, III., Whose mysterious disappearance about a month ago gave his family and friends so- much anxiety, is in a cell at the City Hos- pital, recovering from an attack of de- lirlum. The coarse, clean shirt he wears has the figure 9“ on it. - Spriggs was taken in charge at the Union Station about 8. o’clock Sunday night by Private Watchman O’Connor, to whom he appealed for protection from imaginary foes. He was sent to the City Hospital for treat- ment, On his arrival he was. placed in one of the wards, but at midnight he began to rave and Dr. Marks ordered that he should be confined in a cell for his own protection, as well as of the other patients. When searched by the police a check for $500, $77.50 in cash, a railroad ticket to Hot Springs, a lot of jewelry, including a ring, with the inscription From Bettie to Ralph, 1831,’’ were found on him. Spriggs became more composed during the night from the effects of the soothing po- tions administered and at noon was calm and repentant. Dr. Marks is confident that he will be able to release the Mayor of Chester from the cell by night and from the hospital in a day or two. Spriggs was in a nervous and excited state when seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter. He “expressed regret at his indiscretion and re- — ig an oath that he would never Arink rh | * not care for the expense of this antes, but I am almost e at the thought. that my. wife will not forgive me.“ he said. “She left me once before and warned me on her return that if I ever got drunk she would never Hive with me again.

Brookings only remained a few days and then went on to Hot Springs. I had met some jolly rounders and soon found myself frequenting their company after Brookings’ departure. I was all the time beset with the idea that my wife would not become reconciled to me and I tried as hard as I could to get sober. I spent almost every night of the last three weeks in the bath rooms at the St. James. I have passed as many as forty-eight hours on a stretch there. It was easier to get sober than to stay sober, for some of my friends would come and get me about the time I was in condi- tion to go home and I would nave 4 to begin the sobering-up process over Ex-Mayor Noonan, Tom Wand, Rob- inson and others, whose names I don’t t recall, were convivial spirits whom I met in the bathing rooms at the St. James. I had a splendid chance to cultivate Judge Noonan’s acquaintance, as we were almost insépara- 3 for a week. Wand is another fine fellow. I had 3 New Lear well and felt satisfled teat I would be able to start for Chester on Jan, 2. That, I believe, was the day we — sidighing.

There is a stage of 17 feet in the Mononga- hela and it is rising at the rate of 18 inches per hour. A large amount of ice is coming out of the Youghiogheny, and at McKeesport the steamer Lillie was sunk, causing a loss of about $200. The ice is also coming down the Allegheny and the coffer-dam at Harris Isiand is in danger. The Government is buliding a navigation lock at this point, and should the coffer-dam bé broken it will not only cause. great damage but will also retard the work on the lock. A twenty-five-foot rise in the Ohio River is expected here and rivermen fear that t will reach thirty feet. Twenty-five feet will flood the mills along the river and cause untold damage to property. Thirty feet is considered the great danger line. It has been raining all night. At Morgamtown there was eighteen inches of snow when the rain started Saturday night and it has rained steadily ever since. Several timber rafts have gone down and a big boom is reported at Grafton. A twenty-eight-foot stage is expected at Mor- gantown. The ice in the Clarion River broke at 7 a. m. and began pouring into the Alle- gheny. At points between Pittsburg and the mouth of the Clarion River ‘the ice in the Allegheny is moving, though it is only broken in places. At Ou City the nver is still frozen, and we there Wamins firm, although "ta any ‘any time. ELECTRIO STORM. V ie —— ͤ— And Great Damage by Floods at Hot Springs. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. 7.— This city was visited by a terrible electric storm last night which did much damage to tele- phones and other electric apparatus. No mid-summer storm was ever more severe. For hours the elements seemed to be a sheet of fire and the streets were entirely deserted Everyone who could, sought shelter and remained there. A heavy rain also prevailed, which flooded the streets and sidewalks, doing considerable damage. — Oro ¼—ö)ĩ BRIDGES AND TRACKS GONE. Disaster From Floods in the State of In- diana. Ind., Jan. 7.—Advices INDIANAPOLIS, 4 from Southern Indiana report disastrous floods, resulting from the heavy rains of the past twenty-four hours. The farmers are suffering severely from the overflows, and more serious losses still are anticipated. At Bedford, Ind., on the Monon road, the bridge across the river has been washed away, and the trains are running via North Vernon. At Vienna on the main line of the Jeffer- sonville, Madison and Indianapolis road, 300 feet of track has been washed away, and the traffic is seriously delayed from both North and South. Ice Gorge at Loveland. LOVELAND, O., Jan. 7.—The ice gorge in the Lit- tle Miami River at this place created great excite- ment last night. Boats were torn loose, and the ice was forced far out on the bank. The pumping sta- tion of the Pan Handle Railroad was shut off. The pipe was broken at the river, thus stopping the pumps.

Leonard, Havana~—Refuses to Talk to Reporters Wire to Boston. NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. T. Detectives Kerwin and Ferdinand Vance made an im- portant arrest here last night. The pris- oner on this occasion is accused of embez- zling $150,000 from a mercantile firm in Bos- ton last spring. The alleged fugitive is Henry B. Spaulding, alias Henry J. Leon- ard, a well-dressed and fine-looking indi- vidual, who has been occupying a room at the Hotel Royal sinee the 13th of Decem- ber last, when he registered at the hotel as Henry J. Leonard of Havana.. Those who saw him at the hotel never for a mo- ment suspected him of being an embezzler to such an extent, and Chief Gaston was somewhat surprised last night when he got a telegram to arrest him. When the detectives found Spaulding at his hotel they walked up to him and, touch- ing him on the shoulder, said: “Mr. Leonard, — Chief of Police would like to interview He replied, “Al ye rht, % and immediately got up and went wi the officers. He never asked what the matter was nor said a word, but boarded the street car and proceeded up town to police headquarters, where he was confronted by Chief Gaston. He admitted to the Chief that he had been to Boston, but denied that he had embezzled any money or that his name was Spaulding. Upon being searched several letters were found on his person without any signature. These were purely of a private nature and had no bearing on his case. No money was found on him. When a reporter saw Spaulding in his cell he declined to*say anything. s said he had told the police all he had to say and would neither confirm ar * the charge. As soon as Leonard was accom- lished ms Chief tele — he to the firm at ton, t em of the fact and asking that an officer sent with full details, A WOMAN CAUSED TT Murder of W. B. Thomas for Which W.

The regular jury was brought in, and the special venire of forty men called. The case will probably not go to the jury until some time next week.

Mrs. Gilroy of Newport, Ky., arived here about 9 a. m. She is the mother of Thomas Morton, who was murdered by Noble Shep- ard on the flatboat at the foot of Potomac street on Christmas eve.

Her daugh- ter, Who is still younger than the deceased, would have come in her stead, were it not that she is now at death’s door, suffering from an attack of heart disease, brought on by the news of Tom's death. Mrs. Gilroy said that a few days after Christmas her daughter was wrapping some articles up in a piece of a Newport (Ky.) new, „ when she saw a small clipping a St. Louis paper to the effect that Tem Morton, who was killed on the flatboat this city had a sister living in Newport. bout the same time the letter. carrier rought a letter from the Chief of Police ‘pf Newport, explaining the whole affair. ince then the mother and daughter have prostrated with grief.

INSURANCE COMPANIES STILL TRYING TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY, The Dead Man’s Widow and His Late Employers Emphatically Declare That It Was Sturges Who Died at the Hospital — Some Peculiar Out of the Last Policy. Assistant Superintendent Reinhart of the Prudential Life Insurance Co. says that he does not think that the man that died at the City Hospital on Dec. 28 and who it was claimed was Wallace L. Sturges and whose funeral took place from Sturges’ home at 2020 Biddle street, was Wallace Sturges. Mr. Reinhart viewed the remains and is in a position to know. Sturges worked for the Prudential company for a month. Mr. Reinhart saw him every day and says had it been Sturges’ body he saw he shquld have known bim. This is the report that Assistant Superin- tendent Reinhart turned in to the com- pany. He was out of his office for the day when a reporter for the Post-Dispatch called, but the cashier of the company, to whom the claim has been turned over, said this was Mr. Reinhart's report. Mrs. Sturges says it was her husband who died at the hospital under the name of Wallace Sturges and so do Messrs. Murphy and Amend, for whom Sturges works, and from whose livery stable he was taken to the hospital. The 41 at the Dis- pensary and hospital know nothing more 57 his identity than the fact that he was given to the driver of an ambulance as Sturges. The driver of the ambulance that called for Sturges was Otto Reinhard. He says when he went to Murph tas and with “his —. hy of in- policies he must have known that the — he stepped inside the peniten- tiary door all the insurance he carried would be vitiated.

PURE INVENTIONS. All of the stories about Japanese sol- diers being roasted over slow fires in Port Arthur, of the houses of inhabitants being filled with Chinese trdops in disguise, of the use of explosive bullets, of the discov- ery of military uniforms concealed under the outer garb of peaceable citizens, of the house-to-house fighting in the streets, are mere inventions, without a word of truth behind them. I was present in every skir- mish preceding the battle of Port Arthur. I was in the front rank of the fight during the battle itself. I saw the Japanese 801 diers enter the town and begin the butch- ery, and I spent the subsequent days in go- ing from street to street, from road to road, and witnessing the shedding of blood. As an eye-witness, I can say that not a shot was fired in the town itself when the men were killed in their own houses, un- armed and defenseless. I saw the mutila- tion of the Japanese bodies. Indeed, I saw them while the bodies were still warm on the fleld; but the number of men mutilated was very small, and, with one exception, the Chinese killed their men in fair fight. The pase is different with Japan. The Field Marshal had placarded the peninsula with promises of protection and mercy, ad- . to the Manchurian people. He sent messenger into Port Arthur with a letter, signed by his alde-de- camp. solemnly pledg- | J . , * * 8 or . : - 7 . wd > a 8 oy * * 9 8 a 1 N * 4 * 8 1 x Bs . yt . - 1 2 1 N ; 4 . - . — — 18 « N 1 1 * „ . 19 * — 7 2 5 + : * & ™ a at ahs ; 4 2 nee J ; 4 * 8 * Fai N > n er the: an Portiand and ‘Construct he Nicaraugua 2 is opens rail water * miles apart. would the cost of 3 rta aa ek 5 fruit and other produets of the far jestern States will be seen at a od th Mr. . conclud with a final and action ‘on the bil * 5 — THE PUBLIC VERDICT. | ‘It Is Decidedly Against the Padrone Newsboy Combizie. The newsboys padrone system is being rapidly broken up. The newspapers of St. Louis have for years been paying the Two Mikes—Murphy and Churchill—tribute and submitting to their dictation. The Post- Dispatch on Jan. 1 reduced its price to 1 cent. The padrones refused to sell it at this price—but for consideration in com- bined to force other papers on the public by refusing to sell on any terms but three for 5 cents. Men and boys were advertised for and given the opportunity to make a living by selling newspapers. Through «a score of assaults on these men the combine and its thugs hoped to drive them out of the business of selling in the business center of the city. Every assault is being carefully investigated and in every instance the slug- ger will be prosecuted to the Mmit of the law. The evidence of the failure of the pa- drones may be of interest to other news- papers. On Saturday—a rainy, unpleasant evening, with no news excitement—the street sales of the Post-Dispatch were higher than they were before. New men and boys are applying hourly. In thirty days anyone desiring to sell newspapers on the streets will be able to do so for his own profit and independent of the padrones. . Picket, the man whose face was horribly gashed by the thugs at Broadway and Wal- nut street, applied; swathed in bandages, for permission to sell again. He said that, not- withstanding his injuries, he was compelled to avail himself of the chance to earn money, the first he had had in a long time. He was ‘“stocked’’ and took up his plage directly in front of the Post-Dispatch office, WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—What “ected: ich in] (VASHING taka to end the growing tariff: complications between this Government and mercial interests the attention given * members of Congress is noticeably slight.

They literai- ly control the downtown street sales and the attack involves a very considerable expenditure. With the cut in price of the Post-Dispatch their tyranny became intol- erable. Thejr brutality at the first attempt to make the sale of papers free to any man or boy was still more exasperating. In six days their power has been broken.

Ostensibly, the anti-Cullom crowd are 2 working for the election of Joseph Medill, . but in reality it is said.the plan is to make Congressman Geo. E. Adams Senator. Ad- ams has just entered the field. He is a well-known Chicagoan and may possibly endanger Cullom’s case for a time. Cullom is still confident, however, that he will be chosen by the caucus on the first ballot. It is clearly a fight of Cullom against the field.

A Remarkable Race for the Speakership of the Kansas House. TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 7.—When the Kan- gas. Legislature convenes at noon to-mor- row the House will be probably organized by the election of C. E. Lobdell of Lane County as Speaker. Lobdell has outgener- aled all opposition. The field against him had narrowed down to J. K. Cubbison of Kansas City. This morning Mr. Cubbison said: Unless Mr. Lobdell has agreed upon some one else to . his name in the ublican caucus this afternoon at 4 0 — — I will do it myself.“ Mr. Cubbison will be the Speaker pro. tem. Lobdell has made a remarkable race for the Speakership. He is the youngest man ever selected in Kansas for the tion. The first of the Republican caucuses will be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock to agree on House officers. Caucuses on State printer may be held as early as Wednesday States Senator later. The great topic to-day is on the question of an open or secret caucus, and sentiment seems to be for a secret caucus. “This has been the custom in recent years. Harris Renominated. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 7.—The Demo- cratic caucus of the Tennessee Legislature this morning renominated Senator Isham G. Harris for re-election by acclamation. The y action was urged by Senator Harris’ friends, who feared the danger of delay. A very determined * was made — delay caucus action and there is talk su ns of money having been offered For that urpose, but it seems without avail. State urer Craig and Comptroller James Harris were also renominated. WASHBURN CONFIDENT. But So Are Nelson and Others of Being Minnesota’s Senator. ST.

It was rumored in real estate row that the property at the northwest corner of Eleventh and Pine streets had been leased to parties who would put up a building on it for theatrical purposes, and would run a show on the order of that conducted by Col. John Hopkins at Pope’s Theater. The property is owned by Dr. Spencer, and is under a fourteen-year lease to the proprie- tor of the livery stable which now occupies the premises. It is said the parties have bought out this lease and have made ar- rangements with Dr. Spencer. The building now occupying the site was once a church, but has been converted into a Hvery stable and may in turn converted into a theater. Converting churches into theaters seems to have become quite a popular fad in St. Louis, as the Germania was remodeled from an old church and there are plans to con- vert the Shaare Emeth Temple at Seven- teenth and Pine streets into a theater.

Lanning had secured a judgment in a damage suit against the wholesale clothing firm of Baer, Seasongood & Co. of St. Louis for $10,186 actual and $5,000 exemplary damages. Damages for $10,000 are also said to have been secured against the Iron City National Bank of Liano.

The same general object will be aimed at in a number of bills, and the question will be one of the few concerning ch there will be little partisan con- tention. Generally speaking, such changes in the laws of governing criminal practice will be aimed at as will insure speedier trials as less cost to the State, without endangering the rights of accused persons. It is claimed by those who advocate the amendments that in several circuits of the State it is notorious that the present change of venue law is more often resorted to to delay and defeat justice altogether than to obtain a fairer trial than can be had in the court where the indictment is found, Mere affidavits alleging prejudice of the m- habitants, as to the grounds of which | even the affiants themselves cannot be ex- amined, are sufficient to secure the delays and heavy costs to the State of a removal of the case to a distant county. One such bill has been prepared for the Legislature to consider, providing that ap- plications for change of venue in criminal cases on account of alleged prejudice of the inhabitants, shall be by petition in writing, verified by affidavit of the defendant, and adding: Such petition for a change of venue shall set forth the facts upon which the applicant founds his be- lief, and it shall be sup * by the affidavits of at jeast two other credib aR disinterested citizens of the county, who shall ‘be subject to examina- tion by the court as to the matters contained in their affidavits. Reasonable notice of such applica- tion must be given to the Circuit Attorney, who may deny the allegations of the petition, and sup- port the denial by counter affidavits, or the testi. mony of witnesses uced before the. court. and the court shall thereujon determine whether or not the applicant is entitled to a change of yenue. Under the existing law the defendant and two other persons can make affidavit that the inhabitants of the city or county are so prejudiced against him that he cannot nae a.fair and impartial trial, and on those the Court is bound to grant a change of venue, without making any inqui as to the truth of the allegations of the affidavits. The Court has no discretion. CHALLENGING JURORS. Another provision, which is believed to be unreasonably ex ive and obstructive, is that relative to the number of challenges and when they shall be made. In capital cases it is necessary — obtain forty-seven urors who are by mee my to sit in the case. f these the endant may challenge twenty, an Ate fifteen, and the de- fendant may delay the trial forty-eight hours to make his challenges.

SPRAGUE SUED, - Dr. Wm. B. Bhelp’s Office Boy Wants $5,000 Damages. William Mottler, by his next friend, Wm. B. Shelp, instituted ‘suit against Charles C. Sprague of the Sprague: Delicatessen Co. for $5,000. damages. It grows out of a scene which occurred in the Delicatessen, on Olive street, about 2:30 p. m., on Dec. 22, in which Dr. Shelp, the dentist, and Mr. Sprague nearly came to blows. The petition states that the defendant did wilfully, 4 maliciously of and concerning — ntiff certain false, defamato and slanderous words, accus- ing him being a thief, and then ordering him out of the restaurant. The plaintiff al- leges he had entered the place to buy a sandwich for his’ employer help, and paid 10 cents for it, neg To before the sandwich was delivered the defendant made the — false accusations mentioned, re- taining h the sandwich and the money paid for it. Plaintiff went away and returned with a friend to ask for an — 9 1 Defend- ant ted, it is alle that the boy was a thief, and that he had been stealing there often fore. When Mr. Shelp arrived de- feridant threw the pag og tare. nickels, it is claimed, saying: Here is your dime. Now get out.

In misde- meanor cases, the defendant and the State are allowed four peremptory challenges each. These are the challenges allowed in cities of 100,000 inhabitants, but in all other circuits the State has only eight challenges in capital cases, and six when the punish- ment is imprisonment for life. Bilis will be introduced—probably during the coming week—to repeal the provision allowing forty-eight hours and tweive hours to the defendants to investigate the jury, and make their challenges, and give the de- fendant in every indictment or information for a criminal offense peremptory challenges of jurors, as fellows: If the offense charged is punishable with death, to the number of twelve, and no more; if punishable by imprisonment for life, eight, and no more; and if punishable by imprisonment in the Penitentiary for a erg number of years, four, and no more; and in all cases not unishable with death or imprisonment in the Penitentiary, three and no more.

Thomas Williams, alias Lally, arrested on Sunday night by Sergt. Fox and Officers Hoffman and Goetz on Clark avenue, near Fourth street, is charged in a warrant is- sued since his arrest with robbery in the first degree. Eljah M. Strauss of 322 Clark avenue is the prosecuting witness. He all leges that the prisoner on Saturday about manight held him up near Fourth and Clark avenue and relieved him of a dia- mond pin valued at $250. Lally is also ac- cused of robbing Michael Cusick of 704 Chouteau avenue of $16.30 on Friday night at Seventh and Gratiot streets. tHe reduct The prisoner is also suspected of being im- plicated in the murder of Officer Edward Duddles of the Chicago Police Department last Thursday night. The officer was at- tracted by the cries of police to a house on Division street, Chicago, and arrived in time on the scene to meet two men emerg- ing from the house loaded with plunder. The burglars drew revolvers and fired on the officer, who fell dead. The following day e police arrested Jack McGee, Jack Casey and Billy Roche in the house 16 Green street, on information furnished by two women. The prisoners suspected of the murder are the most desperate in the coun- try, and Lally, who is arrested here, is one of their pals.

The ActorWent to His Rescue and Subse- quently Left the Hotel- The Valet Had An Important Message for Mr. Sea- brooke and Was RefusedAdmission to the Dining-Room-Manager Lewis’ Denial. . It_is not often that the dining room of the Southern Hotel is the scene of a fracas or disturbance of any kind, but according to the accounts of several persons who claim to have been present at the time, the. full monotony of the breakfast hour at that hostelry was rudely broken last Friday. These gentiemen describe a decidedly stormy scene which they say took place at the entrance to the dining room at that time, and which is said to have been the direct cause that led Mr. Thos. Q. Sea- brooke and wife to transfer their patronage’ immediately from the Southern to the Planters’ Hotel. The story of the affair as afterwards told by Mr. Seabrooke himself appears to be about as follows: The actor has a young negro servant, ho acts as a sort of valet, and who ac- companies Seabrooke on all of his travels.

There is no doubt that Mr. Filley is eminently qualified to point out the weak spots in our registration and election laws. He has had them thoroughly tested in the course of his career as a political boss. His bill, therefore, may be of value in shaping the law which is to stand on the statute books. But while the Filley bill will have right of way in the Republican House, its source is not calculated to inspire pop- ular confidence in its merits nor to at- tract enthusiastic support from the Dem- ocratic majority in the Senate. The Legislature cannot afford to accept, with- out careful consideration, an election bill drawn up by a notorious political boss who is known to spare no means of achieving partisan success. There are ints in the outline; of the bill made public which do not commend them- selves to independent judgment. The Legislature should have the bene- fit, of a non-partisan, careful investiga- tibn and of unbiased judgment. The measure which it adopts should be com- prehensive and sound in every part and designed solely to shut off all manner of rascality in all parties. TWO NEEDED BOARDS. Gov. Stone’s recommendations con- cerning a Board of Pardons and a Board of Immigration call for favorable con- sideration from the State Legislature. The need of a Board of Pardons, which, as the Governor sensibly suggests, may also serve as a Board of Penitentiary Inspectors, is shown by the statement that over 1,000 applications for pardon are now pending. If the Governor of the State gives even the most superficial attention to the applications for execu- tive clemency presented to him, he would have no time foranything else. He cannot give the applications the attention they should receive in order to arrive at just conclusions. The result is that the par- doning power is a source of constant worry to the Governor and is necessarily exercised in a haphazard manner least favorable to justice. It is most creditable to Missouri that its growth has been so remarkable with- out the aid of any special officer or bu- reau charged with the duty of promoting immigration. But the State’s progress might have been far more wonderful with an active bureau pushing its interests. No opportunity to increase the weaith and desirable population of the State should be neglected, and a well-organized Bureau of Immigration could find a broad field of usefulness. Leas W — “The Southern Trade“ of this city has two striking illustrations.

Less than a half-dozen persons are in sight, and they are carrying snow shovels.

The portion of the charge referring to only-putting the names, of such witnesses us are needed to prove case on indict- ments is evidently intended for a little in- formation to Mr. Zachritz as well as the jurors. It will be remembered that on the indictment returned by the last Grand-jury against Sheriff Henry Troll the names of Anton Huebler, Chief Deputy Sheriff under Troll at the Four Courts, and Christ Scha- wacker, the well-known Republican poli- ticlan, appear as witnesses. Huebler and ‘Schawacker both expressed their belief in Troll's innocence. POP GRAY. James S. Williams’ Suit Against Otto Stifel on Trial. The case of James 8. Williams against Otto F.

OPPOSITION TICKET. Lively Caucus w Progress at the Merchants’ Exchange. The caucus for the purpose of nominating an op- ition ticket for the election of officers of the erchant’s Exchange this afternoon promises to be extremely lively. ere is no doubt but that there is considerable feeling against the regular ticket and that friends of the candidates who were de- feated at the recent cancus are working hard to have them placed on the opposition ticket. This latter ticket is gotten up ostensibly to infuse new blood into the Exchange and interest outside mem- bers in its workings. It was given out on Change during the morning that Clark Sampson would undoubtedly receive the nomination for President on the opposition ticket. ©.

CHARLES, Mo., Jan. 7.—Mrs. Chas. Sundermann, wife of a prominent farmer, living below town, was stabbed in the abdo- men Saturday night by Xavier Schwartz, a hired: hand, and is probably fatally wound- ed. Schwartz and Sundermann had a quar- rel. over a settlement, when Schwartz struck him over the head with aclub. Mrs. Sundermann ran to her husband's assist- ance, when Schwartz whipped out a knife and stabbed her. He was arrested and is now being held to await the result of her injuries. Public sentiment is very much against Schwartz, as the Sundermanns are an old couple and have long been known as peaccable. ELECTION FRAUDS. Breck. Jones Will Not Be Engaged in the Prosecution.

BROOKFIELD BANK. National Bank of the Republic Is One of Its Creditors. The National Bank of the Republic of this city are among the creditors of the k of Brookfield (Mo.), which closed its doors on Saturday. The former bank was the St. Louis correspondent of the Brookfield concern and holds its paper, etc., to the amount of $2,300. William H. Graham, Cashier of the National Bank of the Republic, stated that he did not think his bank would lose a nickel by the failure. The failure was a great surprise in St. Louis, as the bank, — small, bas always been regarded as being ucted on a solid financial basis. About fifteen years ago this bank was raided by the James gang and robbed of a large sum. Bowell’s Illness.

BOYD DOES NOT THINK THERE WILL | BEADUEL, — Says He Only Spoke Loud in Order to Make the Old Man Hear—It All Grew Out of That Carondelet Church Row— Rev. Koetzli to Be Tried for Drunken- ness Next Week. The row in the Carondelet Baptist Cliurch has been made more sensational by the statement of Dr. Caleb S. Purkitt, one of the trustees, that he challenged Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd of the Second Baptist Church to figtit a duel with pistols for brow-beating him and cross-examining him before the Execu- tive Committee of the Baptist Board of Mis- sions. Dr. Purkitt, who is 72 years of age, a charter member of the church and a trustee of the property, appeared before the Exec- utive Committee with a protest signed by forty-two members of the church, remon- strating against the action of the other members who had decided to disband the church, transfer the property to the Mis- sion Board and organize a new church which would not admit to membership cer- tain of the present members. Dr. Purkitt became angry at what he regarded as Dr. Boyd's harsh treatment, and he told the pastor of the Second Church to take his seat or he, Dr. Purkitt, would meet him as gentlemen meet gentlemen. DR. BOYD NOT SCARED..--”’ Dr. Boyd smiled when a reporter asked him if there was any likelihood of his meet- ing the white-haired old physician on the field of honor. While admitting that Dr. Pur- kitt did actually thr zn him with a chal- lenge, he says that if’ was all due to a mis- apprehension on the part of Dr. Purkitt. During the hearing before the Executive Committee he guestioned Dr. Purkitt about the quarrel i he Carondelet Church, and, as the doctor s slightly deaf, he was obliged to raise his voice in order to make the doctor hear. Then it was that Dr. Purkitt fancied that he was being brow-beaten, and, getting excited, made his blood-thirsty threat to call the Second Baptist pastor out. Dr. Boyd refused to discuss further Dr. Purkitt’s challenge, evidently treating it in the light of a joke, or the unmeant expres- * of 2 “ng, $4 old man. ev. ..Tompkins, pastor of Caronde- let Baptist Church, attended the meeting of Baptist ministers and pref charges of drunkenness against V.

The head of the syndicate handed $2,500 to each of his six confreres and kept $5,000. Allez Bros. discovered the next day that many of the Paris newspapers continued to c or for their prosecution. Seven only of forty or fifty newspapers had been silenced. It was their turn to complain to the Minister of War, and they insisted that the blackmailers should be exposed and prosecuted. Gen. Mercier did not nesitate; he decided to 2 inst the seven-membered syndicate of silence, and began to act with energy. But a higher power in the State intervened, explaining that it would be un- wise at this moment to raise another Pan- ama scandal. “Call u on the seven to refund the 100,000 francs,”’ he said, and let the matter drop so far as the Government ia concerned.“ The edict went forth.

Kitty Delamate was uncomfortable. We “were constrained. Remembering the prov- glass houses, we were all dis- to be tolerably charitable to flirta- 15 tions and flirtees, but this was a little too bad. Dave Hilton was a general favorite, a inn. manly, deserving fellow, and the only weak thing that he had ever done was his 55 fallihg in love with Kitty. She was a handsome girl, with a fair, + gweat face bearing no trace of craft or evil im it. ot loving anyone but herself or of appreci- but, heartless and utterly incapable ating the unselfish devotion that was of- fered her, she led Dave on through a whole - -gummer, suffered all his attention, went ie out only with him, might even have mar- him, if George Maryatt had not pre- ante i himself at that time as a suitor. „ his expectations were greater, Kitty threw over Dave without scruple, even as- sumed & look of astonishment when he re- to the encouragement that she had 1 in the summer he had sketched his plans given him, was very gentle, very sweet, very cold and utterly inexorable. I néver,saw a man so thoroughly beaten down as Dave looked the morning he left us. He had lost, not only her, but his faith for a time in women. Our indignation was intense, for we were all personal friends of Dave, and Kitty’s cold serenity and utter absence of even a tinge of remorse was infinitely provoking. She was so wise, however, so quiet, so pa- tient and had such childish ways and, above, all, was so marvelously pretty, that the could not do less than be civil to her, and as she cared nothing whatever about the girls, they found their jndigna- tion. thrown away and comforted them- selves with the reflection that at least she had not entrapped George Maryatt, who had gone away Without proposing. Kitty, however, took defeat philosoph- ically, and just at this juncture down came Paul Danforth. His arrival was a sur- prise to all and a mystery to me, for early for the season, and The Pines“ had by no means entered into his calculations. He was an intimate friend of Dave's, and it was to him Dave had gone on leaving us; and, duly weighing all these considerations, 1 I could not but wonder what evil angel saci him amon "From the first Kity was not 4 utue struck | by his appearance, though he was not a man to be ly esteemed.

i S 1 x * ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—A general inves- “eee Government. tigation of the advance of machinery in Bar the industry of the world and its effect on labor has heen begun by the Bureau of La- bor. The object of the inquiry is to deter- mine what modern machinery has done as compared to hand labor, and what inroads machinery has made in the field formerly occupied by hand labor. It is the first time an investigation in this line has ever been attempted by the Govern- ment, and it is expected to prove an im- mense undertaking, though no more diffi- cult to accomplish than some of the in- quiries already made by that bureau. Several of the agents have already been sent out on the work, provided with circu- lar or gg ee calling for collection of various may c instances of hand labor and the cost and labor involved in the produc- Sen of various articles compared with the pompesponding conditions in the modern fac- ories The work will require a year or more, and the ‘whole force of twenty or twenty-five ——— of the bureau in the field will de ged on it after a few weeks, when the . ction of statistics of the strikes from 1887 to July last is completed. ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES. How Ives Carries on the Profession of Billiard Playing. “T have been called bad names,” says Frank Ives, the billlardist. They say I am mean and stuck up, and that I feel myself above common people. When I play with Schaefer he seems to have the sympathy of the crowd, while I frequently am hissed and hooted. The difference is just this: I carry on the profession of billiard-playing on business principles, just as a merchant or banker runs his affairs. I cultivate the people who can do me good, just as the merchant and the banker do. he riff-raff can do me no good, and so I drop them. It isn’t because I feel stuck- reg 8 but simply because it’s business. A man has to choose which class of people he will go in for, the ‘high class or the low. He can’t choose both, and if he doés choose the high, he must necessarily let the low alone. I have the opportunity and the inclination to choose the former, and that is why I am unpopular with the masses. I don’t care to criticise Schaefer, but I don’t think he takes the pains to look at it in that way. With him and his money it’s easy come, easy go. He will allow an old bum to cultiv ate an inti- macy with him and help him spend his money just as readily as he will get on good terms with a solid man who can do im good.“ GEN. POST. DEAD. . Succumbed to Indigestion After One Day's Illness. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7.—Gen.

Ves. it is true that I have entered Dob- bins for the Gold Cup and Montauk in a number of 2-year-old stakes in England,“ says Richard Croker, the famous New York politician and turfman. “I have authorized my “agent to enter other horses—I don't know just now what engagements he has made for the stable. Dobbins has been ail- ing, but I think he will stand training and be fit to race on the other side. I.expect in A short time to have a full list of the horses and their foreign engagements, which include Montauk’s nomination for the Derby of 1896. The horses will be sent in April and ‘I will follow them later in the season.“ In Montauk Mr. Croker is thought to have a phenomenal racehorse. He is said to have done a half mile, with stage weight up, when given his trial last September, in 50 gy Among the horses the Manhat- tan stable may also take abroad are Harry Reed and Stonenell, both dangerous factors in the sprinting division. Although Don Alonzo has been entered for the Brooklyn handicap, it is N that he will alse taken abroad by M. F. Dwyer, and on the straightaway English courses he should be a great performer. Mr. Croker’s invasion of the English turf will be the first important venture by American owners since 1881, when Pierre Lorillard’s Iroquois woa the Derby and James R. Keene’s Foxhall the Grand Prix, the Czarewitch and Cambridge- shire. Should Montauk duplicate the suc- cesses of either of the American 3-year-olds of 1881 abroad, Mr. Croker will be well re- paid for the trip. The Ascot Gold Cup is contested at the June meeting at Ascot Heath. The cup is worth 1,000 sovereigns, with 2,000 sovereigns in specie added, in additian to a sweepstakes of 2 sovereigns each, half forfeit.

Dobbins will have to carry 126 pounds. “With the Ives law wiped off the stat- utes, said a well-known racing man, the situation in New York is as it was in the dismal days of 1885.

It was the owners and the racing associations who finally urged the passage of the Ives bill as a 1 relief. With Gov. Morton openly edged against the Ives law, special legislation is out of the question, even if the new Constitution could be set aside. Without public betting, the associations, nevertheless, will try to hold meetings—unless the Legislature construes the offering of purses or stakes for horse- races as a felony.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan, 7.—The Supreme Court has filed its decision in the six cases in- volying the Central Pacific Railroad taxes for 1887, and the decision was against the railroad com- pany. Superior Judge Hebbard's declaration that the railroad assessments for 1887 were valid was sustained. His award of the fees to Langhorn and Miller, who began and pressed the litigation, was affirmed, but the fees granted to Aglett were stricken out. The Supreme Court found that in- terest on unpaid taxes was not imposed by statutes, and the amount granted by Judge Hebbard for interest was disallowed.
