THE SHERIFF OVERPOWERED. Awtul Death of the Negro Who Rav- ished and Murdered Mrs. J. W. Cain on July 23. Special to The Post-Dispatch. ,FULTON, Mo., Aug. 15.—The people of this community have taken the law into their own hands by lynching the negro Emmett Divers, who on July 23 ravished and mur- -dered Mra. J. W. Cain on her husband's farm near Fulton. The lynching took morning. Divers was met on the road, as he was being taken here for trial, by a mob of de- termined men, who dragged him by force “ from, the custody of the Sheriff. A rope was quickly placed around his neck and he was hanged from the middie span of a high bridge about nine miles east of here. Court convened here last Monday and that night Deputy Sheriff John H. Buchanan and J. B. Buckner went to bring the prisoner here to stand trial. An indictment for mur- Ger in the first degree had been found against him. The Sheriff left St. Louls with his pris- oner at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, and in view of the excitement at Fulton and the prevailing belief that an attempt would be made to lynch Divers, a staff correspon- Gent of the Post-Dispatch accompanied the party§ For the same reasons Deputy Sher- if Buchanan decided to take hid prisoner only part of the way by rail and make the rest of the trip in a carriage by a circuitous route. i Word had been sent to him, however, that Fulton was full of desperate men, all clam- for vengeance and swearing that Div- pomp 4H never be granted the formality of place at 1 o’clock this 1 * that the crowd of ＋ — that an 1 oo made e prisoner o town dead of nickt 21 to prevent that be- done armed 22 were guarding ev- to the town from sunset until however, h to out- wit them.

Although he must heve realized his awful danger, his face failed to show the least si of fear, and he chatted pleasantly with those about him.

All the time the parleying was going on the poor wretch, whose fate was then sealed, sat cowering in the corner, shaking with ter- ror. He begged those with him not to de- liver him into the hands of the mob, saying he was innocent and they would tear him limb from limb. He was told that his | chances for escape were very slim, and was advised to confess his crime and make his eace with God. Instead of doing so, he hrew himself down on the floor ofthecar- ri in a paroxysm of terror, and clutchin at Mr. Buckrer’s limbs with his manac! hands again besought him to save him from the fury of the mob.

Again he was informed that his fate was as good as sealed, and he was advised to confess and put his trust in God. He then seemed to realize that he had no hope, and his manner changed. He became calmer, and taking his seat beside Mr. Bucknef he held his manacled hands aloft and muttered A prayer which he said he had learned in the St. Louis Jail. During the march not a word was ad- Aressed by any of the mob to the occu- pants of the carflage, except an occasional gruff command from one of those in the rear to “drive faster.” After proceeding in this way for about a mile, the command was again ven by those in advance to hal The order was at once complied with, an it was found the carriage had stop about 200 feet from the approach to the bridge crossing Aux Vasse Creek.

It Was the Intention of Many to Burn Divers Alive. Special to The Post-Dispatch. FULTON, Mo., Aug. 15.—About 10 o’clock the Coroner reached the place where Div- ers was hanged, and ordered the body (cut down: An inquest was held about ten feet from the bridge, and a verdict was returned that the deceased came to his death at the hands of a mob composed of persons un- known to the jury.

It is said they were advised of the thne the prisoner wag to arrive and the route to be taken. They knew full well that iff he ever reached town he would not be hung. The mob in Fulton was all ready to take him to the house where he slew his victim, bind him to the same spot where she was found, pour coal oll on him and set fire to the house. Another faction voted to hang him to a telegraph le in front of the Court-house, riddle his body with bullets and leave him hanging there all day. It was to frustrate such barbarity that the wiser heads sneaked away quietly and han . him. So great is the excitement that the Mayor has ordered all saloons and drug stores to close their doors and remain closed until further. notice. John W. Cain, the husband of the wo- man whom Divers murdered, came upon the scene just as the inquest was being con- cluded and gazed for several minutes at the outstretched form of the fiend who hed destroyed his home.“ He uttered no word, but the tears stream- ing down his cheeks, his quivering lips and tightly clenched hands gave silent testi- mony of his emotion. APPLYING THE TORCH. Diver’s Body and the Home of the Cains Will Be Burned. Special to The Post-Dispatch. FULTON, Mo., Aug. 15.—At 2:15 p. m. a howling mob of over 500 horsemen rode into town with the body of the negro in a farm wagon. They followed the principal street to the Court-house Square, where the cav- alcade stopped. The covering was thrown off the wagon and fully a thousand people took turns in viewing the distorted features of the corpse. d from the wagon aud swung to 4 telegraph ole. There ft remains, swinging to and ro, surrounded by several hundred morbid spectators. Yee This evening it will be cut down and carried to the cabin where Mrs. Cain met her death. The original intention of burn- ing, both body and building will then be car- ri out. The crowd will remain watching the flames until both are reduced to ashes. Story of the Crime. The double crime for which Divers has been lynched was peculiarly horrible. His victim, Mrs. J. W. Cain, had been married but a few months, and lived with her hus- band on his farm, six miles west of Fulton. On the morning of July 23, while Mr. Cain was at work some distance from the house, his wife returned home from a neighbor’s, where she had spent the night. Divers fol- lowed her indoors, criminally assaulted her and cut her throat from ear to ear. Mr. Cain entered the house not long afterwards and found the post of his murdered wife, stripped of her clothing and with her hands tied behind her back. ivers was captured by the Sheriff the evening of that day while at work in a cider mill only two miles from the scene of the murder.

The Conimittee on Resolutions and Programme appotnted yesterday, being un- able to report when the meeting was first called to order; it was suggested that the conference listen to speeches by those pres- ent. C. F. Cockran, editor of the St. Joseph Mo.) Gazette, addressed the conference. He sald it seemed anomalous that a meeting such as the present should be called, for he knew of no doctrine of the party which was not in consonance with the purposes of the Conference. He said that Congress was the 5 to look for a declaration ot the party’s belief and he declared that gold monometallism would be more disastrous than war, pestilence and famine. It was important to settle first what was Republicanism and what was Democracy— whether such men as ex-Senator. Thurman and Senator Harris or Senator Sherman were to be the leaders of Democratic thought. He declared that the silver agi- tation would not die out, but would con- tluue until the end for which k had been originated should be attained. Mr. Coch- ran also declared against the perpetuation of the National banks, whose tyranny, he said, was the greatest that any people could bear. For national banks were 41 rectly opposed to Democracy. He was for a declaration for free coinage, without re- gard to the prospect of success or failure at the polls.

CARIBS AND NEGROES. English Planters Attempt to Lay a Railway Track Across the Carib | Reservation. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—One of the blood- fest battles that has been fought in British Honduras in many a day, says a letter from Belize, just received in Trenton, N. J., oc- curred Aug. 3 at Straun Creek and Mullins River, about thirty miles south .of Belize. The district there is settled by upward of 20,000 Caribs, whose reservations embrace most of the ground under cultivation. The, remainder is occupied by English pianters rincipally, who have in their service 4,000 oes. A few months ago a giish planters, whose pianta- blies 20 the Colonial Lagialatere pi fells applied to the Colon ure a ze for permission to construct railroads from their plantations thro the Ca Vations to the ranted and the Surveyor General was au- horized to survey the routes. The rails for the railroads arrived from Engiand some three or four weeks ago. As s00n as the Caribs found it out a number of them went to the warned them not to their reservations if RAN INTO THE BRIDGE. Twelfth Street Rattle Trap Has Its Un- derpinniag Knocked Out. About 7:30 . m. two Missouri Pacific trains collided as they were switching un- der the Twelfth street bridge, knocking out several of the bridge supports and other- wise damaging the structure. Traffic across the bridge has peer suspended and a squad of — put at making the necessary repairs. ngines Nos. 8% and 202 attempted to cross the same switch at the same time, the train of No. 232 being thrown against the pillars supporting the bridge. One up- right was knocked completely out and an- other broken in two. Several braces were misplaced. The yardmaster states that the accident was through no fault of Switch- man Kerns, who was on duty at the time. He places the blame the crew in charge of engine No. 825, claiming they had no business to rush in when No, 292 wag pass- ing. a This is the third accident to the bridge within the past five years, and the Twelfth street bridge rattle trap is still maintained. Persistent efforts have been made to in- duce the House of Delegates to appropriate money for a new bridge, without success, Plans have been Graun for a new bridge, but, of course, never used.

We are starving be- cause the Government won't pay us!” These and hundreds of smilier xemarks greeted United States District Engineer Maj. Chas. J. Allen and his corps of clerks on the Fourth floor of the Federal Bullding Thursday morning. A mob of 100 roughly clothed workmen clammered for admission into the chief's sanctum, but the heavy wooden doors were tightly shut and the men were told to leave. One young clerk threatened to call the po- lice if they dic not leave. But the men re- fusd to go. Many had slept in the hall all night. They told a Post-Dispatch reporter that they were starving and shelteriess. Several of them said they had been forced to beg on the street. They were a lot of honest laboring men, who evidently knew the meaning of the word “work.” “We worked all July and Au and have not yet received our pay for July, said one of the men, and t ers cor- roborated what he ' “Matters reached a climax when the didn’t pay us off in August.

FATAL STREET FIGHT. Bloody Termination of a Feud Between the McGirls and Walkers. NOWATA, I.

Alport Andrews, a miserable morphine wreck, has confessed that it was he and not Maud Lewis who murdered Senator Pete Morrisey.

For this reason, if t e were not many others, the police look upon his confession of guilt as a very shallow trick on the part of friends of Maud Lewis to save that wretched wom- an's neck from the hangman.

It was cuspidor, If the woman’s head had struck it with force enough to dash it to pieces, her scalp would have borne evidence of the collision. These are some of the material facts that to my mind give a most im- probable—not to say impossible—color to Andrews confession. He is known to be addicted to the use of narcotics. His physi- cal and moral nature has long since been dredged of manly instincts. In my opinion he would be weak enough to lend himself to any scheme to divert the consequences of the crime from the Lewis woman. All the facts, as far as I have investigated tend to show that the woman committed the crime. This confession, it will be n ticed, takes the responsibility for hoor. rissey’ s death away from the woman and at the same time sets up a plea of self-defense for Andrews. I do not think it will alter the aspect of the case ase materially. * When asked what he t he tho ht of the con- fession made by Andrews, lef Harrigan said: 1 don’t take any stock in that — 2 It is merely an effort to protect the Le woman.“ “Will yon arrest Andrews?’ “No, sir.

The absence of Senator Turpie from the Democratic conference in Washington, which was called over his signature, is gaid to be due to a “deal” arranged be- tween Mr. William C. Whitney and Gov. Matthews of Indiana, by the terms of which Gov. Matthews is to be nominated for Vice-President on a Democratic ticket, with Mr. Whitney or some other Eastern man for President. This alleged deal may or may not be the offspring of some reporter’s imagin- ation. Its plausibility comes from the fact that it falls in with the obvious in- tention of the Bastern Democratic lead- ers to play in next year’s campaign the old combination of the Solid South, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In- diana. It is one of the open secrets of the cam- paign of 1892 that this was the combina- tion relied upon in that campaign. The euccesses in the West were neither worked for nor expected by the National Demo- cratic campaign managers, and there is reason to believe that they felt chagrin, rather than satisfaction, over the fact that so many Western States were car- ried, that Mr. Cleveland could have been elected without New York. It will be in accord with the political views of the men who expect to be the managers of next year’s campaign if they surrender the West, with the exception of Indiana, and rely upon the old combi- nation. And, in fact, ff a gold standard platform is forced on the Democratic con- vention, there is no hope for success in any other direction. The difficulty in this direction is that if an anti-silver platform is adopted, the State of Voorhees and Turpie will go Republican by 60,000 ma- jority, in spite of Gov. Matthews and his New York allies. 1 — 1 * _ ee MUNICIPAL ELECTRIO oe na, In the current numder ot the Prof. Frank Parsons, in a comparative study of municipal electric lighting un- ger public and private ownership, gives facts of great interest to Gwellers in cities. In a list of cities which have acquired the ownership of electric lighting plants from private companies a reduction has been made in the cost of city lighting from one-half to five- sixths. The difference is nearly as great between the cost of light- ing in cities owning and operating elec- tric plants and in cities lighted by plants owned and operated by private compan- les. An electric lamp costs Boston under private service $139, or four times as much as. it costs Bangor, Me., under \public service. New York pays a pri- vate corporation $150 a lamp, while Lew- iston, Me., supplies ite own light at $43 per lamp and Troy, N. T., has its own service at $61 per lamp. Peabody, Mass., supplies its own light at half the cost of Cambridge, which is served by a private company. St. Louls was supposed to have obtained a bargain in its electric light contract, yet we pay from 15 to 60 per cent more than cities owning their plants. Where electricity is sold by cities to private consumers the cost of public lamps is paid for by the profits in many cases, and is almost met in nearly all. If this does not prove that every city should own its electric lighting plant it at least proves that cities served by private companies are paying too much for their service. They are paying too é 1 Cet it ir he were subject to 1 nents on ting out its ill effects. idan says he is not seeking the ö and would not &ac- removal at 6 on @ month’s notice.

HINRICHSEN'’S INCONSISTENCY. — Chairman Hinrichsen of the IIlinois State Committee declares that the free silver Democrats will control the Na- tional Convention and nominate and elect the next President and in the same breath declared that Wm. R. Morrison will be their ‘choice for Presidential can- didate.. He adds that the Illinois dele- gation will be solid for Morrison. These statements are so grotesquely inconsistent that it is difficult to be- lieve that Mr. Hinrichsen is correctly quoted. If the free traders should capture the next Republican convention and then nominate McKinley it would be no more ridiculous than for a free silver bonvén- tion to nominate Morrison on a free silver platform. Mr. Hinrichsen seems to think that for a candidate to have been non-com- mittal on a vital issue is to hid ad- vantage, and that because Mr. Morrison is believed to have the interest of his party at heart he can be trusted to lead the great cause of bimetallism to victory. He is mistaken. No great issue was ever won under the leadership of a strad- dler. No straddler can be trusted to secure the fruits of victory. But. Morrison can hardly be called a straddier. While he has endeavored to dodge the money question he has clearly intimated that he ig on the side of the gold standard. : It would be vain to expect his conduct to differ from that of President Cleveland, who was like Morrison a “sound money” man, elected on a bimetallic platform. If the Illinois Democracy is to follow up its free silver declaration with a solid delegation for Morrison it will deal a knock-out blow to the cause, the leader- ship of which it now claims. * — i—_— ~~ ——-— A QUESTION OF CREDIT. The nervous uncertainty with regard to the outflow of gold is an excellent dem- onstr&tion of the vicious condition of our financial system. All the national conditions are favora- ble to prosperity. The crops are abun- dant. Trade is reviving and in conse- quence there should be work for alNhands and profitable investment for all capital. But in the midst of these favorable circumstances a few million dollars of gold are taken from the treasury and a shiver of fear runs through the country. What does it mean? Win the gold re- serve go below the $100,000,000 mar]? What ere the intentions of the bond syndicate? The uncertainty and fear of credit being impaired by the loss of a few millions from a particular fund of a particular kind of money set apart as the foundation of all of our credit tends to paralyze All business activity. Our great wealth and marvelous pro- ductiveness count for nothing because we have chosen to base our credit upon a gold fund which can be manipulated at will by the financiers of this country and Europe. To maintain that gold fund we have placed our dependence on a syndicate of bankers whose good faith is made the corner stone of the credit of the richest nation in the world. It is a most dstonishing and humiliating situation. oe It is surprising that merchants, and especially members of the Business Men’s League, who have been fined for sweeping rubbish into the streets and alleys, should seek to have their fines re- mitted. They are intelligent citisens and knew that the act under which they were fined was in existence and ought to be enforced. The ordinance was passed and is enforced chiefly for the benefit of the merchants. The recent activity in its enforcement was prompted by the Busi- ness Men's League, which is supposed to exist for Just such public purposes. It ig setting a bad example for any mer- chant to ask for a remittance of fine. It would be a bad precedent to grant such request. If citizens of influence can vio- late the law and have their fines remit- ted, the law is unjustly enforced and would better be repealed. If genera] re- mittances aré granted the law is a dead letter and the streets will be filled with rubbish. No remittance should be granted. : - — — — a When Deputy Sheriff Buchanan left St. Louls yesterday afternoon to take Em- mett Divers to Fulton, he was accompa- nied by a Post-Dispatch reporter, who was instructed to remain with the party until the ravisher was lodged in jail.

MEN OF MARE. - Sardou, the French playwright, writes a hand so small that it takes good eyes to read it without a magnifying glass. Lord Rosebery has resolved never again to sit for his portrait. He has found his previous experience in this direction very wearisome and the result not altogether satisfactory. Rabah, now the head of the Sultanate of Bornu, Africa, was at one time a slave. He is a full-blooded negro of gigantic stature and is said to be possessed of im- mense treasures of kold, silver and ivory. M. Louis Coulon, a distinguished French lawyer, has a beard nearly eight feet in length. Unfortunately he stands less than 5 feet 6 inches, and is compelled to wear his unigue adornment in coils around his neck. Seventy years ago Lewis Bates of Chi- cago was born in slavery. He is absolutely without education of any kind, invariably badly dressed and poorly fed, but at the present time he is the wealthiest colored man in the city. He is rated at $500,000. Walter Hume Long, the new Tory Presi- dent of the British Board of Agriculture, comes fairly by his love of tobacco, as his ancestor, Sir Walter Long, assisted Sir Walter Raleigh in smoking the first pipeful in England of the newly introduced Vir- ginia weed. . E. E. Kessler of Richmond, Ind., claims to have been the yeungest private soldier in the war. He enlisted in Co. B. 68th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, at Napoleon, O., in September, 1861, at the age of less than 13 years, and servéd for three years and nine. months as a private soldier. WOMEN OF NOTE. Mrs. Mary Reynolds, widow of the famous steamboat man, “Diamond Jo” Reynolds, who at one time had an absolute monopoly of all the steamboat business in the Upper Mississippi River, died at McGregor, Io., a few days ago. The marriage of Miss Lowery of Wash- ington and the Duke D’Arcus, Spanish Minister to Mexico, which is soon to take place, will terminate an engagement of twenty years, until very recently opposed by the bride’s wealthy parents. At San Francisco a young woman has been appointed Deputy Sheriff. Her es- pectal duty is to escort women who have been adjudged insane to their asylum. By her combined firmness and kindness she is very successful in dealing with them.

Hot Springs Hotel and Doctora’ Agents Forced Out of Business. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Aug, 15.—During the past few months a strong fight has been made against the hotel and doctor drum- mers. Owing to the efforts of the local press, the Citizens’ Antl- Drumming League and the Physicians’ Anti- Drumming Assocta- tion, drumming has practically ceased. One of the means employed to this end is a cir- cular dtrected to the public and distributed on incoming trains warning them against the drummers, who are in desperate straits. They have organized and have employed attorneys in their behalf to take legal steps against the means employed to keep them from plying their trade. A™Rural Rooster“ Heard From.

Something will happen, not to the flag, but to the boat that it is using it, and there may be trouble between Spain and the United States. “Another thing we do not like,“ said Senor ‘Alvarez, is insisthug that the Mora claim be paid just when Spain needs money for all purposes.

Bpecial to The Post-Dispatch. NEWPORT, Aug. 15.— The Breakers“ was the scene last night of the long-expect- ed house-warming, and the bewildering magnificence of the interior of the regal mansion was a surprising delight to the favored guests who were added to the large house party. Dining and dancing were the features of the evening. As a matter of fact, two dinners were given. he frst, one of thirty covers, was served by the house’ chefs in what is no doubt the most gorgeous dining-room in America. It is purely in the Italian style, with pale blue, white and gold as the prevailing tones. The room is oblong, with outer ter- races on two sides overlookin the sea. Carved white figures in high relief are on the pale blue panels on the doors and on the oval panel of the ceiling. Here and there on the panels are intricate traceries in gold, with insertions of bright bits of onyx. From the ceiling, which is of great height, hang enormous crystal chandeliers, About the room, with draperies to correspond, is furniture upholstered in a deep shade of rose brocade. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter, Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt received the 300 guests in the grand salon. Mrs. Vanderbilt was in a white satin gown, with lace and dia- mond ornaments. The daughter, who is fairer than her mother, wore rose satin, ruffled with lace. Her orna- ments were lovely pearls. The Hungarian Band played in the Italian Hall, where dancing was indulged in on a floor of mar- ble squares, polished to the brightness and smoothness of glass. A pleasant feature of the house-warming was that Mr. Vanderbilt had with him for the occasion his three brothers, Wm. K., Fred W. and Geo. W. Vanderbilt. taller and Shipping Cattle to England. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Samuel Degan, a cattle shipper of Chicago, who recently ealled for England with 3803 fat cattle, has returned here and reports that not a single one was lost on the trip. When the cattle arrived in England they were in better con- dition than when shipped, averaging about 1,300 pounds. The cattle were, as a rule, well gra „ The Polled Angus grades brought the highest prices. The whole 303 averaged about $97.50 a head. It is stated at the Agricultural Depart- ment that the Polled Angus grades are more in demand in Europe than any other cattle. Herefords come next and Durhams last.

EMANUEL CHURCH. MURDERS. —————— The Police on the Trail ef More Impor- . tant Evidence. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 15.—People who live in the vicinity of Emanuel Church, where the brutal muredrs of Blanche La- mont and Minnie Williams weré committed, are much mystified by the fact, that the police are again paying mysterious visits to the church. ; Just what this activity of the police at the church means can only be conject for the members of the department are close- mouthed as usual, and even deny at this time that they have been at Emanuel more frequently of late. Detective 8 who appears to be leading the van in this latest descent upon the church, says he was simply engaged in — accurate easurements of the building to be used as vidence during the trial. But why half a dozen police officers should also be engaged in the same business along with him he does not say. Rumors are plentiful. They always were ever sineé the two distorted and lifeless bodies were found in the church—one in the libr and the other in the belfry. The statement is made on good authority that the present movement on the part of the police is to forestall all evidence which will be introduced by the defense and upon which it is said Durrant’s attorneys will take their firmest stand and make their bitterest fight. This evidence will be to es- tablish, if possible, as true Durrant’s state- ment that he was at work on defective electric wires in the loft in the church on the afternoon that Blanche Lamont was slain, and that the disheveled appearance which he presented when seen shortly after- wards by Organist King was the result of being overcome by gas which had es- — from the pipes and collected in the oft. King, it will be remembered, made the statement that on that important afternoon he went into the Sunday- school room of the urch to practice some selections he was ‘xpected to render when the congregation should assemble for worship. He thought he was alone in the building. After remain- ng there at the plano several minutes, however, he was startled by the sound of some one opening the aoor which led into the room from the hallway to the church Luditorium., Turning he beheld Durrant, ale and apparently exhausted, his hair lisheveled and his clothing disarranged. Upon being asked what ailed him, the man who is now on trial for the murder of Blanche Lamont said that while endeavor- ing to repair the electric wires he had been yvercome by the escaped gas. He was so ompeletely overcome, in fact, that he asked King to go out and purchase some bromo- seltzer for him, and King readily com- plied. King told this story, and Durrant, when questſoned regarding the matter, ad- nitted the gas story, but declared that King had greatly exaggerated the descrip- tion of his condition. New Corporations.

The King of Funny Fellows Will Bring a Gorgeous Retiaue. The announcement that the daylight pa- rade of the Mystic Order of Funny Fellows will be repeated with augmented splendor on Sept. 28 cannot fail to create delightful anticipations in the mind of the amusement- loving public. This will ultimately redound to the profit and credit of St, Louis, for careful estimates show that 2,000 visitors were drawn to this city last year by this at- traction alone, The projectors are confident that this figure will be multiplied by four on the first repetition of the parade. When the magnitude of the preparations now un- der way is considered this does not appear to be an exaggerated expectation. st year’s pageant cost about $15,000. This ex- penditure will be almost doubled. Twenty-two floats with the usual trim- mings will constitute this year’s spectacle. A large force of workmen is now employed in the construction of the floats. Work is already far advanced. The floats will be furnished on a scale of magnificence néver approached before in a daylight parade. umerous novelties will be surprise on the public. tertainments, one of this nature is the most difficult to successfully handle, but the committees in cha have profited by the experience gained t year and are confident of contriving a iqueness that will be a revelation in uniqueness of de- sign and richness of materia Under the present methods five commit- tees have charge of the various nches of business pertaining to the Order Funny Fellows. These are the Committees on Fi- nance, Transportation, Membership, Pa- rade and Entertainment and Printing, Press and Advertising. Dach of these committees has been busy for some weeks on its lal branch of work, and as they are all composed of energetic and enthusiastic oung business men, the work is in a sat- sfactory state of advancement. The ball-that was contemplated on the night following the parade has been aban- doned. This announcement will doubtless cause much regret in certain quarters, but the change of plan was made necessary by the lack of funds to present this feat- ure m a creditable manner. The commer- cial community failed to appreciate such a function, the claim being made that it had no influence in bringing visitors to Lous, and hence did not justify the nditure. reat care will be taken to make King Hotu night at the Exposition an unparal- leled success. This will be the night prior to the parade. In all probability the prin- cipal streets will be decorated in honor of his majesty. It is the intention, in case the order re- ceives the support it deserves from the busi- ness men of St. Louis, to make the parade an annual event second to none in the annals of the festival city; in fact, to develop this feature into a veritable carnival. ex House of Refuge Improvements. Com lier Sturgeon’ wrote a letter to Supt. ol rd N — = 2 1 terday requesting him to confer with the — 1 of Managers and see just what ie needed to make place comfortable, and separate the innocent inmates from the vicious. He asked that a report be made as soon as possible to the Mayor and ‘spent to the Comptroller. Col.

Mayor Walbridge was asked this morning what he had found out about conduits while Bast. He said: “I no intention of say- ing anything about that until I send my message to the Municipal Assembly. An electrical paper published the fact that I was in Boston examining into the conduit system,\and a reporter came to my house last night. I cannot give my ideas on the subject in advance o — my mes- sage, but I intend to adG@ress the Municipal Assembly on the subject when it convenes. After yes | the systems of Boston, Philadelphia and New York, I am satisfied that Boston has the best system because hey took it up late and had the benefit of the experience of other cities. In Boston the city is divided into districts m charge of a commissioner, who defines the time limit and manner in which overhead wires shall be buried.“ Bayern-Verein Tourney. The St. Louis Bayern-Verein will, Aug. 18 and 19, at Concordia Park, hold a tourna- ment, which shall include gladiatorial games and pleasing acrobatic feats. There wilt also be presented the spectacle of thirty-six men equipped with richly deco- rated hoops and assisted by merry-making clowns, working themselves through a labyrinth of complicated dances, while a score of young ladies and gentlemen will appear clad in court dresses in the stately minuet. Some nineteen lassies, appropri- ately costumed, will give the scarf dance, which will end in a transformation scene, The Butterfly.” The Bavarian Zither Circle will furnish the music. There will 8 be firewor and a prize bowling match. Unknown Dead Man. Henry H. Miller, proprietor of the White Elephant,” at Baton Rouge, La., writes to the Post-Dispat«a for infor ing an unknown man who died there July Deceased. was a German, probably a tallor; 4 years old; weight 100 pounds; 5 feet 6 Inches tall. His right arm had been broken at the elbow and the left at the wrist, incapacitating him for heavy work. He had a ticket from Springfield to St. Louis and return, which had been used only to East St. Louis. There were no papers by which he could be identified. He was bur- ied at Baton Rouge. Gave a Trolley Party. The Aubert Arcade Club gave a trolley arty Wednesday night on the Lindell allway. The car, brilliantly illuminated, left the sheds at Taylor and Finney av- enues at 8 o’clock and traversed the entire system. Contractor Steffin’s Kick. John J, Steffin, a contractor, has made a kick that the street department lends its heavy rollers to favored contractors for nothing and charges others $10 a day. He abused Superintendent Macklind and was very angry. Street Commissioner Milner says that the rollers are never charged for. A deposit of $60 is required to guarantee the roller against damage, while in use. Carondelet Presbyterian’s Lawn Party.

CHICAGO, IIL, Aug. 15.—A local paper prints the following: Dr. T. Hamilton 0 Los Angeles, Cal., said to be a college mate of Theodore Durrant, the San Francisco murderer, disappeared in Chicago Tuesday night and bft his wife penniless in a down- town restaurant. At the time of his dis- appearance Dr. Hamilton had in his pos- session $1,200 and jewelry valued at $1,500. Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton arrived in Chi- cago Monday from New York. They had been to the seashore and intended to spend two days here. Monday afternoon, his wife says, they hired a horse and buggy and drove to Jackson Park, where they looked at the World’s Fair site. In the evening they returned to the hotel, but Mrs. Hamilton could not recall its name. Tuesday they passed in — several parts of the city. That afternoon they de- cided to take the night express of the Bur- Iington road for Los Angeles and had their aggage checked. In the evening they went for a stroll about the streets. The two were walking along Adams street when Mrs. Hamilton says her husband met a an named Edwards, who was a friend of the family and a college mate of Dr. Ham- ilton. Both knew Durrant when he was a student, and after the custo mary was exchanged the conversation was turned to Durrant and the murders with which he is charged. The trio were standing near a restaurant. Dr. Hamilton asked his wife to step in and order some food, whith they would take along in the grip, and said he would join her tly. Mrs. Hamilton d she was. told. It was then 9 p. m. The@food was ready in a few minutes, and, picking up the package, Mrs. Hamilton went to where she had left her husband and was su sed to find him gone. While waiting Mrs. Hamilton told Miss Stein, the cashier at the restau- rant, that while traveling * she had met Dr. Hamilton and finally married him. Their home, she said, was in Los Angeles, At 5.o’clock this.mornming she went over to the Central Station and reported the mys- terious disappearance of her husband. A rumor was heard during the night that a man had been held up and, robbed near the Post-office. It may have been the missing doctor. Mrs. Hamilton t the remainder of the night at a hote 3 the Post-office, where Miss Stein had guar- anteed her rent. In the afternoon she went d. and said was going to see Dr. Moore, one of Dr. Hamilton's friends, who has an office on State street. | Up to midnight she had not made her ap- pearance at the hotel and Miss Stein now thinks the woman has met with some ac- cident. + — Mr. Garland Interested.
