FLEET ON THE WAY TO COREA The Czar’s Warships Will Anchor at Port Arthur and Engineers Build a Railway Through Manchuria. LONDON, Oct. 25.—The dispatch from Shanghai announcing the departure of a fleet of nineteen Russian warships from Viadivosto® for Chemulpo and Fusan, Cor- ean ports, and the dispatch from Hong Kong announcing that Russia has obtained ‘tthe right to anchor her fleet at Port Ar- thur and construct railroads on the Liao Tung peninsula are regarded as a sudden reopening in an unexpected quarter of the Far Eastern question in its widest sense. The Shanghai dispatch says that the Jap- anese fleet in Formosan waters has been re- called, that several British warships had been ordered to Corea, and: that prepara- tions for a struggle are visible on all sides. The Hong Kong cable to the Times caused that. paper to remark editorially to-day: “Russia cannot possibly imagine that the great Powers will view with indifference such a iy a ape of the balance of power, which is almost unparalleled in its audacity. China’s tion to purchase the railways is a jest almost too comical to find a place in any serious diplomatic transaction. Un- der the indicated conditions Manchuria would practically become a Russian prov- ince, while Pekin would be within Russia’s grip. It is admitted here that the situation pre- sented is so grave that, should the news prove true, it would make war in which several nations would take part more than probable. There is every reagon to believe that the story from Hong Kong is authentic and ali sources of information ee that the Powers interested in the Far East will find themselves confronted by a condition of seriousness which cannot be overesti- mated. The afternoon papers of this city all pub- lish long articles agreeing that British inter- vention in the Far East is necessary. The St. James Gazette says: ‘Even war with Russia would be less disastrous.than to allow her without a blow to get such a grip upon China. She could throttle all the other Powers and choke off their commerce. Unless Russia and China give the neces- sary assurances, it is a case for an ulti- matum, and perhaps the most serious step nd diplomacy has had since the Crimean rar. The impression is general in the official world. and it is re-echoed by the press, that neither America nor Germany ean al- low the Pacific to become “a Franco-Rus- sian lake,’’ as the Globe puts it, and it is generally thought that the diplomats will be sufficiently strong to eombine to re- sist Russian aggression. The Pall Mall Gazette sums up the start- ling news in the East with this statement: “Russia has annexed China,’’ and in the course of a long article on the subject, adds: “If this treaty is to stand, roll up the map of Asia.” In conclusion the Pall Mall Gazette urges the re-occupation of Port HamilJton by the ‘British and the immediate strengthening of the British fleet in Chinese waters, “‘lest > lose her fleet at the first blow.”’ ince this important news was circulated the test activity hasbeen displayed in the vernment offices here, particularly at the foreign office and at the admiralty, and the coming and going of messengers was continuous throughout the morning and business hours of the afternoon. At the different clubs the “war scare’’ in the East is eagerly discussed, the grave situ- ation of affairs in Venezuela having almost completely dropped out of recollection in the alarm of the moment. Nobody seems to doubt the report that by the recently agreed upon Russo-China treaty, Russia has obtained rights to which the most favored mation clause is not applicable, which may cause a great war. The correspondent of the Times at Hong Kong, who sent the sensational news, is described by his newspaper as being in “close relat with men who are able to penetrate beneath the surface of things,” and it ts therefore concluded that the news he has just sent cannot be disregarded. Naturally the public mind will be in a @tate -of great unreast until some official utterance either denies or confirms the im- rtant announcement which would leave reat Britain with her hands full of trou. ble, and emall, including the dispute with Brazil a Trinidad, the serious misunderstanding with Venezuela on the subject of the boundary lines; the expedi- tion preparing to reduce the King of Ashanti to submission, the still serious state of affairs in Armenia, the unsettled state of the Egyptian question, and now the most grave condition of affairs in the far Fast. VANDERBILT WEDDING GOWN. It Is Said to Be the Most Costly One Ever Censtructed. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.~—Yesterday Miss Vanderbilt had plenty to interest her dur- ing the day in the inspection of her wed- ding gown, which is thoroughly American and‘is said to be the most expensive frock ever constructed. It is of white satin, trimmed with the rarest lace. The bodice is high-necked, and the huge sleeves are trimmed with double ruffles of rare old lace. There is a vest of chiffon narrow lace. A large collar is fastened with diamond buckles. The skirt has five flounces of point d’An- gleterre lace. Each flounce is eight inches deep, and the court train, which sweeps from the shoulders five yards on the floor is trimmed with a four-inch band of pearls, Her diamond-buckled slippers will have unfashionably low heels, because the bride does not care to make her several inches of advantage in height over the groom more oe than is necessary. er bridesmaids are to wear frocks of white satin, pale blue sashes and Gains- borough hats of blue velvet.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 2%.—The 77-year-old girl, Lydia Rogers of Islip, L. I., who wanted to die because she was hungry and cold and ill-treated, told why she threw herself in front of an express train. She lives with her mother, Mrs. Biggs, her grandmother, Anne Rogers, and her brother, Will, in a squalid house by the railroad track. As she told her story she cried contin- uously, and clutche@ nervously with her little thin hands at her. miserable skirt, looking round fearfully now and then to- ward the door of the hovel where her sodden, hard-faced grandmother stood washing clothes. “It’s the old woman licks me most,” she said, nodding at her grandmother. “She’s done it so often, I don’t care much for her lickin’s now. But, Will, he’s got a horse- whip, and when he sends me after kindlin’s an’ I don’t get enough, he whips me with it. He cut me over the face with it the other day, and he-swears at me and says I lie, and throws my. mother down on the floor, and beats her, too. And I have to go out nights on errands and I get cold. And then, the boys at school they laugh at me and hit me and throw me down so my nose bleeds. I daresn’t ever run away, because Will would kill me if I- did. And the old woman licks me all the time.”’ THE COUNTESS BELAZICHY. Wealthy Mrs. Yznaga Will! Be Married to the Titled Hungarian. ) Special to The ‘Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. %.—Count Belazichy will make a Countess of Mrs. Fernando A. Yznaga, or now, more properly, Miss Mabel Wright, within two weeks. The statement that the wedding would be celebrated with the least possible delay was made late last night by one of the Count’s few intimates, who will reiterate the fact to-day, as the official representative of his friend. * The Count is. now at No, 19 East Thirty- second street, at the home of Carl Bergen of Bellevue Lodge, N. Y., himself a Hun- arian. He has been in New York and vicin- ty since the latter part of August, when he left Newport in a frenzy because his attentions to the beautiful Mrs. Yznaga had brought about serious embarrassments. He has lived here since; shunning all but one or two men, who had his confidence in the utmost. “The Count cannot bear to see anyone to-night,’’ said his friend. “Will he go to Yankton to be married?’ “No, indeed: he will be married here. I wish I was as sure of anything I might ask for as I am that the Count will make Mrs. Yznaga his bride within two weéks.”’ REPOSITION TN 100 The Proposition Being Discussed by Officials at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.—The sug- gestion that a great exposition marking the close of the present century be held in Washington in the summer of 1900 is meeting with much favor at the capital. Besides commemorating the close of a century, such an exposition would mark the centennial anniversary of the founding of the seat of government in the District of Columbia. In June, 1800, the public offices were transferred to Washington and opened on the 15th of that month. A citizen of Washington suggests to the Board of Trade that ft would be most fitting as this is the capital city, that each State composing the Union should have a permanent exhibition located here show- ing its several resources as to agriculture, commerce, manufacturing, transportation, mining, etc. Added to-the national govern- ment exhibit and the individual State ex- hibits there should be exhibits of the na- tions of North, Central and South America. FOUGHT T0 THE DEATH. Desperate Encounter Which Resulted in Death of Both Combatants. HOUSTON, Tex., Oct. 25.—The removal of Brakeman Sidney B. Lane from a freight crew by Conductor Charles Nevilles caused bad blood between them and resulted in each going armed. When they met at the Southern Pacific freight depot yesterday Nevilles opend fire and Lane promptly re- turned it. Three shots were fired by Ne- villes and two by Lane, ,the men being within four or five feet of each other. Then both men, mortally wonnded, ¢linched, and Nevilles pummeled Lane over the head with a pistol until they fell apart from sheer exhaustion. Lane died almost immediately, but Ne- villes lingered for several hours, The first wound received by Lane was. fatal, but after staggering he returned the fire. SHOT BOTH BROTHERS..

T., Oct. %.—Dick and Zeke Crittenden, brothers and Cherokee In- dians, who were former members of the Indian police, were both shot and Zeke uty United States Marshal Ed Reed, @ son of the notorious woman bandit, Belle Starr. The Crittendens, who are desperate char- acters, were intoxicated and were terror- izing the town and shooting at everybody. They had shot Dad Burns in the-head in his own restaurant and had fired at_and driven out Reed, who returned with a Win- chester, and with other citizens engaged in a fight with the desperadoes. More trouble expected, as the Crittendens have warm ends. THE WEATHER. Fair To-Night and Saturday, Little Change in the Temperature.

REQUESTED TO ARBITRATE. No Opinion Offered on the Merits of Great Britain’s Contention With Venezuela. NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—A-special to the Herald from Washington says: Additional particulars have just been as- certained concerning the contents of Sec- retary Olney’s note:to Great Britain on the Venezuelan matter. It is a communication of about 8,000 words and contains a full re- view of the efforts which the United States has repeatedly made to secure settlement of the long-standing dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela. It describes the his- tory of the Monroe doctrine, points out the application of this doctrine to the boundary dispute in Guiana and then declares the principle, which is the vital part of the note and the great principle for which the United States is now contending, namely that no European power shall enlarge its territorial dominion on the American con- tinent by means of force. From this basis, Secretary Olney proceeds to declare that ar- bitration is obviously the only just mecth- ods by which Great Britain can hope to reach a settlement of her dispute with Venezuela. Such arbitration, he says, the United States is now, as formerly, willing to promote and facilitate. But he is as emphatic as language permits in the dcclsar- ation that any attempt to reach a settle- ment of the contention by means of force would be ty pty as an act unfriendly to the United States. Secretary Olney is careful to point out in this note that the United States has no opinion to offer concerning the merits cf Great Britain’s dispute with Venezuela. So far as the United States knows, either arty to the contention may be in the righi. ut he reviews the history of the territorial misunderstanding between Venezuela on the one side and Great Britain on the other, in order to show most conclusively’ that doubts do exist as to the right of either disputant, thtat Great Britain has at vari- ous times herself admitt the existence of this doubt arising through a series of complications, imperfect descriptions and indefinite treaties. He es- tablishes, as it appears beyond contraven- tion, that the dispute is of that character where no absolute right nor clearness of title exists with either party and that the quarrel is essentially one of those misunder- standin between nations which, by in- numerable international precedents, are reperly to be adjusted by means of ar- itration. Having thus effectually estopped any pos- sibie plea that the territory in question is indisputably British soil and therefore com- ing within the rule that no nation can sub- mit to arbitration its title to its own terri- tory, Secretary Olney again declares that through the Monroe doctrine the United States has a right to a voice in the settle- ment of this matter and that his voice is raised to urge that the dispute be settied by arbitration. The Secretary takes the round that arbitration may confirm great ritain’s jurisdiction over all the disputed territory. If this should be the finding of @ tribunal the United States would hence- forth respect that decision. But he shows t until Great Britain’s title shall have been ssed upon by euch tribunal, the United States is and wil] continue to be @ party to the question, Ten or eleven weeks have now since this 1 rtant un placed in the hands of the Bri ment and no oiner | reply before CO enes, but they, are by no means sing that thetr-wishes will be complied with. In any case the prob- abilities are that the President will official! make known the contents of Secretary Ol- ney’s note in his annual message. INGALLS ON THE SITUATION: He Thinks There May Be a Political Scheme on Foot. John James Ingalls, the whilom Senator from Kansas, was in St. Louis Friday en route to Hannibal. To a Post-Dispatch reporter he said in regard to the Venezuela incident: ‘The trend of public opinion is that the time has come when the United States Should make a demonstration of its adherence to the so- called Monroe doctrine or quit talking about “But,” he added “the Monroe doctrine has always been a vague sentiment rather than a strong conviction, and I don’t think there will ever be a sincere disposition to pro- ceed to the extremity of war, except upon some flagrant interference with the rights of citizens of the United States or some action which imperils the autonomy of our neighboring republics. "That condition is not filled, I think, in the present Venezuela sit- uation, whatever may be said and written about the Marquis of Salisbury’s ultimatums and snubs to Bayard and the ceaseless chatter of the press upon the phases of the controversy. here is a complete lack of definite information on the subject, as far as outsiders are concerned, and it would be folly to formulate an opinion. “Is it not possible,” the Kansan was asked, “that this Veneztela bluffing busi- ness from Washington may mean, as it did in the last part of Clevéland’s first Ad- ministration in the Cutting affair, a scheme, cooked up between Cleveland and ard, to make the re-election of Clevelan or the election of Bayard as his heir, a néces- sity ?’’ “The Cutting matter,” the ex-Senator said, ‘‘came near becoming serious, I[t was. discovered and blocked through Mr. Hitt and some others interested more especial- ly in diplomacy. Politicians resort to these things, even at the hazard of great public interests; and I think it by no means im- possible that there may«be some practical or ulterior phase of this sort behind the course ne AB seems to have been adopted by Mr. Cleveland and the Ambassador. But it is all too indefinite to talk about con- clusively.”’ TRACKING ASSASSINS. The Plot Against the Livesof High Japanese Officials. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.

SHE WASN’T HURT. A New Jersey Girl Fell Into a Thirty- Five Foot Well. Special to The Post-Dispatch. VINELAND, N. J., Oct. 25.—Miss Mollie HS ANGER. MADE HM NUMAN William Barnett’s Awful Treat- ment of Miss Jennie Harmon. SHE IS A SINGLE WOMAN. Residents of Ashland Place Saw Him Beat Her, Kick Her and Swing Her Round His Head by the Mair. “My God, he is killing me!” The residents of Ashland Place were startled at 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon by the cries of a woman. : On the-corner of Kossuth avenue and Ashland place a tall, heavy-set man stood in the middle of the street. At his feet lay a woman, ‘“T’'ll fix you, you d—d crazy thing,’’ he cried, and he kicked her again and again in the face. Mr. G. Joy, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. J. McDer- mott and other residents of Ashland place rushed out of their houses. They recognized the woman in the street as Miss Jennie Harmon, a servant em- leoyed by John Russion at 4041 Ashland Jace. The man who stood beating her was William Barnett, a member of the fire department. Every one on the street knows Miss Har- mon, She is flighty, but is perfectly harm- less. The woman begged Barnett to stop kicking her. “Keep away or I'll fix all of you,” he ly. abbed the woman by the hack lifted her from e ound with his right hand and beat ther in the face with his left until it was one bloody mass. Little Louis reagent Sine 5 12 years, who was playing in the rear of the house, heard the screms. He rushed up to the frantic man. No one else dared do it. , “Don’t kill Jennie,’’ he pleaded. His little sister, Florence, stood by his side. They have no mother and Miss Har- mon has cared for them. A slap in the face sent Florence to the street and Barrett grabbed the boy with his left hand and pounded him against his knee until his nose bled. He swung his body over his head and sent it spinning te feet away. The boy was black in the ace. At this point August Steinberg of 4029 Ashland avenue, appeared at his front door.

Wednesday Barnett had her up before the court charged with disturbing the peace. She was released and the judge advised her to leave the neighborhood. She went back to get her clothes when Barnett saw her. “The trouble originally grew out of the woraan slightly damaging Barnett’s screen door,’ said Mrs. Jey. ‘“*He wanted her to pay forit. She had no money. When she was released Wednesday Barnett threatened and boasted to the whole neighborhood, and, to use his own words, said, ‘I’ll fix her.’ Mrs. Joy is a neighbor of Barnett’s. She has seen many things. “T have seen him chasing his wife and daughter around the house and yard threat- ening them many times. Hige wife would take refuge in the houses of neighbors.

THE COMMITTEE CONFIDENT, Efforts Are to Be Devoted First to Get ting the Republican National © Convention for St. Louis. The Conventions Committee of the Busi- ness Men's League met at 2 o’clock Friday afternoan to further consider ways and means for the bringing of the big national political conventions of '96 to St. Louis. The chairman of the committee is Clark H. Sampson, and the members are: . D. Kingsland, . G. } ‘ Nagel, B. 2 T. K. Niedringhaus, F. B. Brownell, Emil Preetorius, F. G. Butler, Given Campbell, James L. Carlisle, Ed. Devoy, D. R. Francis, Nathan Frank, 5S. W. Fordyce, H. C. Haarstick, J. W. Hayes, Jerome Hill, D. olmes, Richard Hospes, D. M. Houser, G. W. Brown, D. G. Cook, Nearly all the members responded to the notification sent out by Secretary James Cox and a most interesting meeting was held. Sub committees were appointed to look after details of the undertaking, which from now on will be prosecuted systemati- cally and vigorously. Encouraging reports were made by var- jous members regarding the prospects of the Republican National Convention coming to St, Louis, and as the time for determining the location is now short everybody was instructed to go to work with renewed energy. The Republican National Commit- tee will meet at:-Washington on Dec. 10 for the purpose of selecting a location for the ng convention, and a powerful dele- gation of St. Louisans4will be found at the capital on that date wrestling with the com- mitteemen. . Wenneker, Youman. Members of the Business Men’s League who have been working for the Republican convention express great confidence in the chances of St. Louis. In fact, they believe the battle is already won and that this city will be chosen on the third of fourth ballot when the National Committee meets at Washington, Dec. 10. Of the 5&8 members of the National Com- mittee, 18 are positively pledged to St» Louis on the first ballot. This statement is au- thoritative, and is now made after a careful canvass of the members by correspondence and personal interviews. The sub-commic- tee on the location of the convention is composed of nine members, and luekily for St. Louis, Col. R. C. Kerens of this city f the nine. rhe only member of the sub-committee who has expressed himself as positively op- posed to St. Louis is Hon. Wm. M. Haha of Ohio, and his opposition is entirely due to the desire of Cincinnati to entertain the convention. Greater influences, however, than those exerted by a single city, such as Cincinnati, are very liable to be brought to bear upon Mr. Hahn to break down his opposition to St. Louts. One of those in- fluences is the preference of the various candidates for the presidential nomination in the matter of locating the convention. And in this respect St. uis occupies @ particularly enviable position. ; None of the aspirants for the nomination are opposed ‘to St. Louis, while at least two or three of them are known to posi- tively favor this city. Gov. McKinley, who, of course, controls Mr. Hahn in this matter, naturally encourages the ambition of Cin- cinnati, but his friends have given a large number of St. Louisans to understand that when the Buckeye metropolis is out of the race, which it will be dfter one or two complimentary ballots, he will urge no ob- jection through his representatives on the committee to St. Louis. Mr. Allison of Iowa is known to favor St. Louls above all other places, while Sen- ator Cullom of Illinois will throw his influ- ence to this city as soon as Chicago, the perpetual claimant, is dropped. Gen. Har- rison, for various reasons, has never been favorable to Chicago, as was shown by his efforts in behalf of Minneapolis en t lively scramble for the convention o and when noses are counted at Washington in December Indiana will be found on the side of St. Louis. Mr. Reed of Maine is quoted as favoring Washington City, with St. Louis as his sec- ond choice. As to Gov. York, his preference is not kno view of the general ens le 3 “| e “4 Yorkers to every ambition o cagog isn’t regarded as pee that this city will fare badly at their hands. The Dulk of their influence, then, is seen to be on the side of St. Louis, and as it is always an important factor In deter- mining sych matters the confidence of the friends of St. Louis has been stiffened by it. It is almost a settled fact that the struggle. eventually will be between St, —_ ond Kn al “se ye oon. vention of im e has ever e east of the Alieghenies, so that all alien of cities in that locality may be considered as of no serious paneer. he ex i 4 of '92.at Minneapolis demonstrated the of holding great national conventions cities, so that the ambition of all estern communities smaller than and St. Louis need not be looked upon as — to a an important part. that the bare th saa “ot teaath a tional Convention there ts ridiculous.

The advantages on the side of St. Louis are multitudonius enough to fill a volume, Its very geographical center, together with its unrivaled railroad facilities, has, during the past thirty years brought here so many national assemblages of various character as to have given it the name of the Conven- tion City. , The first political gathering of national import held here was the Democratic Na- tional Convention of 1876, when Tilden and Hendricks were nominated, The convention was held tn the Merchants’ Exchange and was in every way an unqualified success, Twelve years later, in 1888, the representa- tives of American Democracy again met in St. Louis to select a standard bearer. Dur- ing the interval the St. Louis Exposition Building had been erected and it was in the Music Hall of this magnificent structure that Mr. Cleveland was renominated. The Exposition Building covers an area of six acres, while the hall is one of the largest and best equipped in America. There are in it 3.507 numbered seats, whiie on special occasions 500 additional ones can be provided, and as many as 6,000 persons havé been in the hall at one time. En- tertainment Hall in the same building has 1,249 numbered seats, and a very iarge Stage, and altogether the Exposition Build- ing is probably the hest adapted for hold- ing national convent' that the world has seen. The entire north nave can eas- ily be converted into a hall and with the galieries is capable of comfortably accom- modating 20,000 people, all saated. No other city on this continent has this single ad- vantage to offer for the forthcoming na- tional convention, ons In the matter of railroad facilities no spot on the planet has the advantage of ._$t. Louis. Not a trunk line railroad on this continent but has direct connection with St. Louis, so that delegates in most cases can get in a sleeping car at their hemes and not leave it untii they land at the superb Union Station in St. Louis. The new Union Station, by the way, is con- ceded by experts who have examined it closely to be the most maghificent and com- plete institution of the kind on earth, Ex- perience has demonstrated that more pen- ple can be handled there than at any other railroad depot in the world. As to hotel accommodations, Secretary Cox of the Business Men’s League, who has _— this important matter elose study, s authority for the statement that St. Louis at present takes rank’ with New York. The annual fair and autumnal fes- tivities attracted to the city this year the biggest crowd in its history, says Mr. Cox, and so great has been the increase in the sleeping and eating accommodations of the town during the past year or two that not one of the tens of thousands of visitor was unable to find a comfortable bed an ylenty to eat. In first-class hotels St. Louis _ four that equal the finest in the world, and according to the admissions of a num- her of Chicago millionaires who were here this week there is nothing tn their city that will compare with them. Altogether the prospects are known to be exceedingly bright for the holding of the next Republican National Convention here, and Col. Griff Prather and others who have given the matter a good deal of atten- tion say that the chances are good for the Democratic National Convention to be held here also, though no systematic effort has yet been made to secure it, AFTER. WITH FIRE, Mrs. Mary Richmend Having Trouble With an Incendiary, For the second time within a month the residence of Mrs. Mary Richmond, 4366 Vista avenue, has caught fire in a mys- terious manner, and now Mrs. Richmond believes that some One is trying to burn her hit. Mfs. Richmond’s daughter, Mrs. Fanny Simon, lives with her. Mrs. Simon has been married but a short time but has separated from her husband, Frank Watroug of 1022 DeHodiamont avenue. At 2 o'clock Friday morning Mrs. Simon was awakened by a sudden glare in the yard, Her mother, who had been up dress- ing a burn on her hand, was also awakened. Both rushed into the yard and found the fence ablaze next to the house. 3 A large canvass, which had been thrown over the fence several days before, was entirely consumed. The women extin- ptebed the flames with a few buckets of water. Friday morning Mrs. Richmond reported the fire to the police as of incendiary origin. She stated that her daughter left her hus- band because he had not treated her well, and that Watrous was at the house until 1 o'clock Friday morning. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday Mrs. Richmond stated that her coal shed was destroyed by fire early one evening about 4 month ago, and that she believed both fires were started by the same person.

Hurt at Down-Towr Fire. FIVE BUILDINGS GUTTED. Pfeffer Chemical Works, Wolfheim & Co., McCabe Tobacco Co. and Vane- Calvert Co. Burned Out. The buildings at 615-17-19 North Main street were destroyed by fire at 7 o’clock Friday morning and a loss of about $65,000 resulted. Two firemen were severely injured. While handling a stream of water on an extens‘on ladder Ed Friemuth,pipeman, Hose Co. No. 9, slipped and fell on the granite pavement, thirty feet below, In falling he struck Truckman John Det- weller of Company’ No. 6, who fell about twenty feet. Freimuth had his right knee- cap crushed and Detweiler’s back was se- verely injured, and he sustained slight in- ternal] injuries. The fire is believed to have originated in the second story of 617, in the laboratory of the Allan-Pfeiffer Chemical Co., from un- known causes. The fire wag discovered by Officer Dgan, who turned in the alarm, and, although the companies were soon at work, the flames spread to the adjoining buildings and the row of buildings from 615 to 623 were soon ey The fire spread to the Wolfheim wool and tallow storage house, 615, and to the Vane- Calvert Paint Co. on the first floor of 617. The paints and oils made such a dense smoke that the firemen were repeatedly driven back and they had to fight the flames from the outside and on ladders. They were also menaced by the net-work of electric wires overhead and made slow progress. A muffled explosion was heard in the sec- ond story of 617 and the heat became in- tense. Some one started the rumor that large quantity of explosive liquids were stored in the first floor of the paint company’s place, and the crowd ey | retreated. The blaze then spread to e Front Rank Range Co.’s storehouse, at 621, and from there to the Henry McCabe Tobacco Man- ufacturing Co., and for a time the A. F. Bhapleigh $torage-house at 611 was threat- ened. The buildings were flooded with dozens of streams of water from front and back and the families residing across the alley back of the buildings were-driven out by the smoke, As the flames spread the water tower was brought into play. After it had been raised it was found to overtop the point at which it was desired to direct the stream and hence could not be operated automatically. John Detweliler of the No. 6 truck and Edward Friemuth of No. 9's company were sent up the tower ladder to manipulate the hose. Friemuth went up first, closely fol- lowed by Detweller. The men reached almost the top of the lacder and having adjusted the hose, di- rected it so that the stream would enter the second-floor window of the Allan-Pfeiffer Manufacturing Co. They were somewhat higher than the ceil- ing of the second floor. Just as the stream was turned on Friemuth was seen to lurch. The crowd below held its breath, as it saw the hose jerked suddenly, as from the force of the strgam@ushing through !ft, and Frie- mut loogehed his hofd wpon the ladder. The next moment he had been hurled from his footing and plunged headlong. The cry of warning from the crowd was He had been at the heels of his comrade, and was struck by the latter in his fall. He shrieked as he felt himself slip from the rung, and he also fell head first. To the crowd it seemed the two men were oined, so simultaneous was their descent. he next moment both had struck upon the Tvert P e smoke and ut no. esti- | w , but Mr. McC mate on it this morning.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Since the confer- ence of Republican leaders at the Holland House many significant facts Have leaked out. One of these is that Carter is no longer a Harrison man. Another is that the Allison boom is growing. All the avail- able presidential timber was looked over, but in«the end, it is said,-the only names seriously considered were those of Reed and Allisan. It is certain that Quay is for Reed and that the Maine man will have the Pennsylvania delegation at his back when the convention meets in June, ‘1896. Another thing settled was the date. It will be the 10th of June and Chicago or Pitts- burg will be the place, with the proba- bilities favoring the latter city. Another item of interest to Missourians has come out since the conference, and that is Chauncey Ives Filley will succeed R. C. Kerens as National Committeeman from that State. => —-_—____—. EIGHTEENTH ILLINOIS DISTRICT. Free Coinage’Champicns Making a Vigorous Campaign. LITCHFIELD, Ill., Oct. 2%.—The most vig- orous campaign ever conducted in Southern Illinois is that now carried on by tha Demo- crats for election of Lane to Congress on the free silver issue. Last evening Bryan of Nebraska and Congressman Hunter of this State spoke here. Mr. Bryan’s exposi- tion of the principles of bimetallism got the closest attention of the great audience for nearly two hours. His comparison of the platform upon which Mr. Lane is making his canvass with the ignominious straddle of the Republicans was a clear and pointed exposition of the issues at stake. ryan and Humter also made addresses at Hillsboro yesterday afternoon to a very large crowd. Bland of Missouri talked at the Shelbyville Court-house yesterday. He denounced the talked-of international monetary agree- ment as a farce and said that the first hostile gun fired would change all values, If this country should pay all its obligations in either silver or gold, at its option, the country would have bimetallism and pros- perity. All money was fiat money, and if its use as coin money were.stopped, gold would be no more valuable than lead or iron. oe . NOT AN OHIO MAN.

DISCUSSED BARLY DAYS. Chicago Magnates Recall the First Pullman Sleeper. George M. Pullman and Marvin “5S. Hughitt, Chicago millionaires, were in the lobby of the Planters’ Hotel Thursday talk- ing about their earlier railroading days. Mr. Pullman recalled the fact that when he put his first sleeper on the rails in the West, which was done at Bloomington, on the Chicago & Alton line, Hughitt was the train dispatcher, under whose orders the train of which the sleeper was a part pulled out. The Chicago & Northwestern’s president remembered the circumstance perfectly, and the two silver-headed veterans had a good laugh over the memory of the crowd that assembled and hooted at the ridiculous idea that anybody could sleep on a railroad, That was thirty-six years ago. To a Post-Dispatch reporter a few min- utes later Mr. Pullman said that this ab- surd railway sleeping idea had developed into a service of Pullmans alone in the United States of more than 2,500, and there are, he added, a good many other makes in the country. he construction of new sleepers is active to meet the growing de- mands of travel and to equip new lines. “We are having a good illustration,’’ Mr. Pullman said, ‘‘of the truism that what — a luxury yesterday is a necessity to- ay.’ : GERMAN PROTECTIONISTS. Formidable Growth afid Objects of the Agrarian Party. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—In a recent re- port of the State Department, United States Consul DeKay at Berlin points out the growth of the formidable agrarian party in Germany and the menace it holds to the producers of the United States, whether agriculturists or manufacturers of anything that competes with articles ‘‘made in Germany.’ Wool, grain, cattle, cotton, pork, all will be profoundly and injuriously affected if the party succeeds in its objects. The Germans have found that to keep the army in its best condition it must be recruited from the country—not from the cities,. which do not include as good ma- terial. But the low price of grains and Other farm products are driving the countrymen into the cities, and the move- ments are accelerated by the action of many nobles in seizing communal lands and turning farms into plantations and game reserves. The great military authorities ave now come to realize that the country must be made attractive, and that the emigration into the cities must be stopped wherefore the Agrarians havé gathered great strength in the Landtag, and. al- though the fiercely protectionist bill of Count Kanlitz did not. pags, they. were not discouraged, and proposed to renew the at- tack this nter Government. and make it lively for the The Consul-Ge portent measur ve forced th expect a large increase of the surrender of the Cath when soe | h selves. he ran to attack will demand the abro ta AB ree nation treaties and legislations the middlemen on .the farms and the speculators in the cities, and favor their own farm products by stopping outside competition. pte | to sacrifice ese treaties in the country.

The considera- tién and sifting of the evidencdé will con- sumé some time and then the work of * drawing up a report will begin. The report may be completed. in time to file with the District Court this afternoon, but it is not at all unlikely that it will go over till to-morrow hp wham 68 - Whether any indictmen will be re- turned could not be learned, aithough it is said that the evidence was damaging enough to warrant such a result. The greatest secrecy was thrown around the proceedings during the cleding hours of the session, newspaper men were barred from the ante- room all day Friday. In case any indictments are to be returned the court will be privately asked to issue bench warrants for the parties wanted. These will be placed in the hands of the United “States arshal for service. The proceedings will be kept as eg as possible until the arrests are made. he parties will be allowed to give bond for their appe@r- ance. * * A]l of the men against whom there is any, likelihood of indictments being returned are wealthy and have large property holdings in St. Louis. There is no danger of any of them fleeing to escape and the secrecy that has been maintained is only a part of the red tape that goes with every case before the Federal courts. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., General Manager of the Terminal Railroad Association, was on the stand all afternoon Thursday up to the time of adjournment. . He was severely cross examined by Assistant District At. torney Coles and was so closely pressed at one time that he refused to answer any further questions and asked to be excused long enough. to consult his attorney. The privilege was granted. Mr. Ramsey stepped out imto the ante- room and asked John J. Baulch, General Freight Agent of the Wiggins Ferry Com. pany, to go over to the Union Trust Build- ing and find M. F. Watts, General Counsel for the Terminal Railroad Association, who was in waiting there. Mr. Baulch was wait- ing his turn to testify and gladly availed himself of the os A, ge to bring a friendly attorney withim reach. Mr. Watts was soon brought over and after a brief consultation with Ramsey advised the latter how to answer. The examination of Ramsey then con- tinued till the close of the sitting. As gen- eral manager of the Terminal Association the witness is supposed to know more about the bridge pool than any other witness examined, and the result of the investiga- tion will depend to a great degree upon the testimony Assistant District Attorney Coles succeeded in drawing from him. When the Grand-jury adjourned for the day Mr. Ramsey looked worn and anxious. He was requested to be on hand this morn- ing in case he might be wanted again. When the session opened this morning Mr. Baulch was sworn. As general freight agent of the ferry he is in a position to know a great deal about the existence of the pool and the manner in‘ which its busi- ness was conducted. Duting the taking of his testimony Mr. Ramsey sat in the ante- room or anxiously pace from one end to the thrust far down.his* his eyes. ‘towards the floor. , “Comptroller Isaac N. Sturgeon said to a Post-Dispatch reporter -Friday morning: “The agitation of the Merehants’ Terminal matter remainds me of the part I was in- duced to take in getting the peonle of North St. Louis so favorably disnosed to- ward the scheme as to make. obtainment of its valuable franchises possible. Maj Rainwater, ex-Gov. Francis and that class of men were the leaders of the movement end I had great confidence in them. On their representations of the good to result to the city from the building of the bridge I wrote a pamphlet elaborately setting forth its advantages and also made speeches ‘for it. “I remember that the strong points they made were that when it was constructed freight would be billed from and to St. Louis instead of East St. Louis and that they would charge only one dollar per car instead of three dollars. An ordinance was drafted fixing the price for hauling at one dollar a car, but it seems that some- body so manipulated the Municipal Assem- bly as to not have any penalty attached for violation of this ordinance so that its enforcement was rendered impossible. “Then, too, another ordinance was en- acted requiring the company to make af rt to the Comptroller the first of every January of the annual earnings and expenditures of the company. I had some correspondence with Major Rainwater on this subject about a year ago. He wrote me that the only man who could. make up that report was then sick and asked for time. I don’t remember._that the report has ever been made, though I will look care- fully through my records and see if it has. But I suppose that the company in many essentials has so violated its contract with the city as to warrant forfeiture of its char- ter. I shall inquire into that and call City €ounselor Marshall’s attention to the re- sults of my inquiries. “As to the bond which the company gave the-cfty for the faithful performance of its obligations, that is perfectly good. It is for only $60,000, and the death of John D. Perry in no way affected it, as it is also signed by Seth .W. Cobb, J. M. Gilkerson, John Whittaker and John N. Holmes, every one of whom, with the ssible exception of Mr. Whittaker, is wealthy. Mr. Perry’s executors and assignees are also bound by the bond.”’ WILLIE WINSLOW’S STORY. full re ‘“\ Claims He Was Drugged by a Jealoys+- Williaxt Winslow, 1422 South Seventh street, who is alleged to have tried to com- mit suieide Wednesday because his sweet- heart went back on him, has recoveréd suf- ficiently to deny the report.

Another eye witness is willing to tell his story of the brutal treating of Work-house Prisoner Thomas Malone by Guard Gus Krueger to the Board of Charity Commis- sioners. Conrad Knab of 1906 Carr street, was sent to the Workhouse on Sept. 17 and was re. leased on Oct. 18. His story of the Malone incident is as follows: _ “Malone came to the Workhouse Monday afternoon.

Dr. Brewster, a prisoner and a trusty who assists the Workhouse phyei- clan was standing over the man.

BLAMES THE SPRINKLERS. Commissioner Milner’s Explanation of Why the Streets Are Bad. The fact that several of the visiting mil- lionaires have found the streets of St. Louis the most vulnerable point for crit- icism, was called to the attention of Street Commissioner Milner Friday morning. “Such criticisms are in a measure just,” said he, “‘but the blame for such a condi- tion does not lie with me. The appropria- tions are insufficient, and when the mud and slush of winter comes we will . be worse off than now. The blame for the dirty ma haga of the streets lies with ttte sprinkling contractors, who permit their drivers to flood the streets with water. Probably. no city in the country is so poor- ly served in this respect. And then the street cleaning force is inadequate, espe- cially in winter. But I hope, with proper support from the Municipal Assembly, to paseny. much of this during my incum- ency.’’ Championship Regatta at AUSTIN, TEXAS.

The Post-Dispatch alone has utilized the visit of the commercial clubs of Bosa- ton, Chicago and Cincinnati te get inter- esting and tnstructive information from the leading business men of those -cities for the St. Louis public. After tapping the millionaires for tips on the absorbing subject of how to make money the Post-Dispatch yesterday sent a corps of interviewers to Giscover what the visitors thought of St. Louis, and the results were exceedingly gratifying to St. Louisans. ‘ The majority of the interviews were not mere empty compliments, but embodied specific opinions evidently formed from careful observation. _ The visitors ex- pressed their admiration. for St. Louts and told what special advantages and attractions had aroused it. All of them were struck with the won- derful growth of the city, with its solid- ity and its evidences of prosperity. They were particularly fmpressed with the Beauty and solid comfort of St. Louis homes, The parks and suburbs delighted them, They pronounced our street car facilities unequaled and all agreed that the possibilities of growth in the city are unsurpassed. But more valuable than the praise were a few suggestions of improvement offered in a friendly spirit. One visitor notefl the absence of street signs; another sug- gested that cleaner streets would greatly improve the city; another hinted that clearer water would be welcome, and still another pointed out the neglect of the opportunity of adding to the attract- iveness of the city by improving the river front. The Post-Dispatch welcomes these hints as an indorsement by outsiders of improvements it has persistently urged upon the city authorities. All of them are easy of accomplishment. It is sometimes as instructive for cities as for individuals to see themselves as others see them. =~ ——— a . THE MALONE CASE. Supt. Nic Karr of the Work-house scouts the charge that Thomas Malone was beaten to death by one of his guards, because, he says, it is against the rules. The guard “may have prodded the fel- low with a stick, but that’s all,” he says. “He certainly did not beat him any. That is not permitted.” This reply reminds one of Koko's de- fense of his failure to execute a prisoner at the command of the Mikado. The Mikado having ordered the man exe- cuted, he was as good as executed, and therefore was virttally a dead*man. But the St. Louis public is not pre- pared to accept Supt. Karr’a affirma- tion that it is against the rule to beat prisoners in the Work-house as a suffi- client answer to the charge that a prisoner - was beaten to death, which is supported by the evidence of eye witnesses, The Inmates of the Work-house are vicious cheracters and sometimes require rough treatment, but this fact does not justify the brutal end wanton killing of a sick man. No matter how degraded the man, he was entitled to the kind of -treatment dictated by common humanity. This kind of treatment must be guaran- teed every inmate of every institution in the of St. Louls.

The calling of the meeting,of the Na- tional Republican Committee at Wash- ington on. Dec. 10 next suggests that if St. Louis is to secure the Republican National Convention prompt and vigor- ous work must be done. ~ The principal object of this meeting is to. fix the’time and place forthe na- tional convention, and the chief work of securing it must be accomplished be- fore the committee-.meetg... About a month and a half remains in which to do pthis work. All the exchanges an@ business organi- zations should unite in the effort to make St. Louis the convention city thjs year. The Republicans have hitherto passed St. Louis by, probably’ bécause of the hopeless Democracy of Missouri, but this year the Republicans have hopes and the chances of turning them southwestward are exceptionally good. But dside from political considerations the arguments in favor of St. Louis, her central locations accommodations and ‘hpspitality are so strong that St. Louis should win on her merits, ; : EE — CONGRESS” AND CUBA. The President’s friends are showing good judgment in securing information of the Cuban situation and urging him to use it as the basis of a recommendation to Congress in his forthcoming message. It is certain that, Whether the Presi- dent discusses the-subject and submits a recommendation in his message or not; Congress will take some action with ref- erence to the Cuban struggle. The desks of the presiding officers of both Houses will undoubtedly be piled high with Cuban resolutions from both Republicans and Democrats. There will be a scramble between the representatives of both par- ties to meet the clear demands of public sentiment in expressing the sympathy of the American people with the Cuban cause. If President Cleveland, therefore, fails to take up the subject, he will miss an opportunity to do the right thing and the popular thing at the right time. Public opinion demands that at least the moral support of the United States be given to Cuban insurgents, and both the Demo- cratic Administration and the Republican Congress must bend to this demand. nc Et AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION. The best suggestion so far offerefi re- garding the City Hall investigation is that of President McMath that a com- mission composed of an engineer and two architects selected from non-residents be employed to make a thorough examina- tion of the building. It is vain, as Street Commissioner Mil- ner remarks, for the City Hall Commis- sion to meet day after day and consider subjects connected with the building about which they have no accurate information. For a committee of the Municipal Assembly to take up the sub- ject without a full report of the facts upon which they can depend would be a useless expenditure of time and labor. The investigation and report of the con- dition of the building in order to have standing and to be above suspicion of partisan and personal influence must be made by experts known to be competent and wholly unprejudiced. There would be reflections and suspicions concerning any investigation at the hands of local experts. The first thing to be done is to get the exact truth about the work which has been done. That is the essential basis of all action for correcting past or guard- ing against future blunders. It is essen- tial to the task of fixing beyond question the responsibility for crookednéss and carelessness. —_—— —-~--_ oe -- o- —ws -- --- When it was announced at Bellaire, O., that Mr. Campbell, on account of ill- ness, could not be present, but that he was with the assemblage in the cause of Democracy against McKinleyiem, ‘5,000. people shouted themselves hoarse.” Buckeye campaign appears to be suffi- ciently enthusiastic. —_—— - 2 The >. - In Trigg County, Ky., Denny Smith has been nominated by the Democrats, his brother Jeff by the Republicans, and an- other brother is expecting to be nominat- ed by the Populists—all for the same office. So long as the Smiths hold out, the State of Kentucky is not going to drift into political chaos. a — . —_ Mr. Sherman says emphatically that neither Reed, Harrison nor Morton will be nominated. If there is as much treachery in Ohio as is commonly the case, neither will McKinley be named. And thus is hope stirred in the bosom of Trimmer Allison. Ee 7 ball sensitive contemporaries, the visiting millionaires did not speak as they would like to have spoken of the universal cir- culation of the Post-Dispatch, but they observed the situation, nevertheless. There is to be an Ohio day at the At- lanta Exposition, and it would be a graceful thing in the management to in- vite Mr. Sherman to come 4own'‘and read to the visiting throng a few of the more telling passages of his great work.

The Post-Dispatch interviewed the State Central Committeemen last week as to whether they favored or opposed an early meeting of the Central Committee, and got replies indicating that fifteen favored an early meeting, eight opposed an early meet- ing, and one doubtful. Our representative on the committee, G. Tom King, opposes an early meeting. He does not state why. We hope G. Tom King is not going to trajn with the Maffitt crowd, as this opposition to an early meeting of the committee would indicate. It is high time Missouri Demo- crats knew whether their Central Commit- tee was going to work harmonious or not. The longer this meeting is postponed, the worse it will be for the Democrats. The Ex-President. From the Washington Post. Mr. Harrison stands to-day about five feet seven inches, and, from the outlines of his figure, must weigh in the neighbor- hood of 180 pounds. He has a large head, set upon a very short neck. His forehead is full, almost bulging. His hair, now nearly white, is quite thin at the top of his head. His eyes are blue gray. His color is of, waxy sallow, difficult to change by outdoor exposure. His nose is small, and would be weak were it not for the pug- nacious turn in its lines. A gray beard and light mustache shade the lower part of hig full face. He is one of the most volu- ble talkers in the world. His thoughts ap- pear to be marshalled with lightning like ra- pidity. His voice, as a public speaker, is harsh, but in private discourse is pleasant. Campbell Shown Up. From the Washington Post. ) It is time for Mr. Campbell to cease his untruthful attacks on Ohio’s prominent Re- publicans. In his Cincinnati speech he ac- cused Hon. George B. Cox of having at one time in his career been a capper for a keno game. Mr. Cox has promptly denied the charge and shows that, instead of being a capper for the game, he was the of- ficial manipulator of the keno goose. Such an overwhelming d convincing repudia- tion of his cam utterances ought to. drive Mr. Jimmy Campbell from the stump. : t Reverie. : Eugene- Field in the Chicago Record.

The heirs of George Doerr will come forward. Attorney Carl Ungar has communicated with the German and American Consuls with a view of trying to locate Doerr's heirs. Should he do so there is $1,000 in the Untted German Order of St. Louis to their credit. Doerr boarded at 108 Barton street and committed suicide by shooting himself through the head. Immediately before his exit he put a bullet into the jaw of Mrs. Zindel, his landlady. For several weeks her life hung in the balance. As Doerr was supposed to have no money, Mrs. Zindel, though a poor widow, paid all the expenses connected with his burial. She is also out $26 borrowed money and a big doctor's and nurse's bill because of Doerr’s target practice. Recently she came across a pass book of the United German Order, which showed an insurance of $1,000 to the benefit of Doerr’s heirs. This money she is anxious his relatives should receive. He is supposed to have a wife ahd four children in’ Germany. » CONFEDERATE VETERANS, Gen. Shelby and Maj, Newman Here in Their Interest. please Gen. Joe Shelby and Maj.

Unless your fireplace is already furnished with firedogs, fender and all the belongings of well-fegulated fireplaces, seak-to find what you want in stores where they sell such fireplace paraphernalia as was made -when the fireplace was an important feature of the household. Brass firedogs, shovel, tongs, bellows and coal scuttle make a picture of truly magnificent beauty when they are kept bright by day and are flashed upon by_the flames at night. The old- fashioned trivet, too—that little three- legged repository of dishes that were to be kept warm—may be found and adds to the quaintnegss of the hearth. \ Lemon Pie.

I have just returned home, after spend- ing several days in St, Louis. I picked up some gossip in your case that has not yet appeared in the proceedings. Several gen- tlemen told me that, no matter what was the result of the case in the courts, you would be got out of the Post-Dispatch be- cause your opponents had arranged things s0 that you cannot comply with the tests in your cortract. A business and news boy- cott is to be worked against you so that you cannot comply with it, This suggests to me a point about which your attorneys have doubtless already ad- vised you. Mr. Pulitzer cannot himself or through his dummies throw obstacles in the way of your fulfilling the conditions of your contract and then claim forfeiture. He has already nullified the tests. If the re- ceipts and profits of the Post-Dispatch this year and next should not come up to the requirements provided in the contract, you have only to go into court and show that you were prevented from doing go by the other parties to the contract, and the courts will release you from the penalty.

Holmes, who has a residence in this city. Mr. Holmes is a wealthy lumberman en- gaged in business at Osceola, Mich., where he makes his home most of the time. His daughters,, however, live in the residence in this city, which formerly was presided over by their aunt. the murdered woman. Miss Curlton was murdered Sept. 28, but the mystery attending her disappearance, which her brother-in-law had been inves- tigating for the last three weeks, has just been cleared up, only to bring forward a new mystery as to who her murderers were. The robbery of about $200 in money ‘and a gold watch which she carried fur- nished the motive. The Michigan authori- ties and the Chicago police are now at work on the clews existing, which furnish a slight basis to work upon in view of the time that has elapsed between the murder and its discovery. The victim of the murderoys robbers left St. Clair, Mich., for Chicago mm. the afternoon of Sept. 23. At Detroit Miss Carlton was obliged to have her baggage transferred and re-checked and to purchase. a ticket for the remainder of her journey to Chicago. This necessitated her going from the Brush street depot to the Michi- gan Central station in Detroit, and after visiting the latter place all trace of her movements is lost. That she reached the Michigan Central Station in safety is certain from the fact that her baggage came through to Chicago. But where that baggage now is, is the most mysterious part of what promises to be a remarkable case. The location of this baggage or the finding out of the disposition that was made of it after its arrival here might lead to the apprehension of the as- sassins. With a boldness that stamps them as of the most daring type they, or the one, to all appearances,: followed the baggage to Chicago after having made away with itsowner. At any rate, some one in Chicago took possession of it by means of the checks taken from the pocketbook of the murdered woman. This is the only valuable clew thus far discovered by which to follow up the mystery. IT DIED A BORNIN’. Why Mr. Collier’s Magazine Was Sup- ' pressed Before Publication. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—The mystery which Surrounded the suppression of Peter Fene- Jon Collier's.new magazine before it was given to the public has been fathomed. The magazine was to have been issued last Tuesday. An edition of 178500 had been printed and part!y bound, at an expense of $12,462.83; all preparations had been made for a sensation in the literary world, when suddenly a ring was heard at the phone and all work was stopped by ‘Mr. Col- lier, who gave orders not to allow a single copy of the magazine to get out of the office. This happened while Mr. Collier, it is said, was taking breakfast with the Duke of Marlborough at the Waldorf on Mon- day. It is reported that the suppression of the. magazine was brought about by H. Rider Haggard, who, it is said, obfected to the publication of his story, “Joan Haste,’’ which had been already published in another of Mr. Collier’s publications. Mr. Colhter’s literary infant was called “The International Magazine.’’ It was de- voted to literature, science and art. Dall INGLIS—BAUMBERGER.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. ; NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Two women say that their husband is Ludwig Karl, an inmate of the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum, who left France twenty-eight years ago, after it was reported that he had been killed at the battle of Sedan. The first Mrs. Karl, whom he left in France, came here recently and is now living at No. 329 West Twenty-ninth street. “IT could not even see my husband,”’ said she. “They told me at the asylum to get the consent of his wife. So I went to see her in White Plains and told her I was his cousin from Germany. She said that could not be. She said he was 68 years old and she had been married to him twenty-eight years. They have grown up children.” Mrs. Karl was finally sent away as an Ympostor. She complains in her gentle way that the treatment at both the asylum and the house of Mr. Ludwig’s reputed wife was harsh and cruel. ' EPISCOPAL EONVENTION. Local Delegates Discuss the Work of the Body. Bishop Tuttle and the deputies from the diocese of Missour! to the General Conven- tion of the Episcopal Church has re- turned from Minneapolis and they express. themselves as much relieved after three weeks of parliamentary labors. Bishop Tuttle, when asked to review the work of the convention, said: ‘Little leg- islation was done, and that is well, for the less the better. Five new dioceses were created, one each in Maryland, Kentucky California, Michigan and Texas. Rey. P T. Roe of Michigan was chosen Missionary Bishop of Alaska. Rey. Stephen H. Green, one of the clerica] deputies, said: “‘The proposed canons were not touched. Several alterations were made in the constitution before it was referred back to the joint commission. For instance instead of the name ‘constitution’ on the title page, the. convention decided on ‘con- Stitutions of that part of the Catholic Church known as the Protestant Episcopal Church in ow United States of America.’ The word ‘synod’ suggested by the pro- posed constitution was dropped.and the present name convention retained.

How to Cure Blood Diseases by Curing the Kidueys. The Action on the Blood of Asparagus, and the Sparagus Kidney Pills. Every physician knows that our kidneys are natural filters. Our kidneys filter our blood: Blood diseases are caused by badly filtered blood. : When the kidneys are well they keep the body well by keeping the blood pure. When they,are ill, they filter the. blood badly and make us ill. ; The sick” kidneys can be made well with Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills, and this is what Dr, John Dobson says about it: OFFICE OF. DOCTOR JOHN DOBSON, 85-87 Dearborn St. . CHICAGO, July 20, 1895, HOBB’S MEDICINE Co.: GENTLEMEN—Being convinced of the truth, so persistently iterated by you, that upon the kidneys depend. almost .entirely the pur- ity of the bidod, and therefore all blood dis- eases cou!d be cured by treating the kidneys, I decided to makea fair trial of Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills.in my practice. Previous to this | had many cases which | had found I could only temporarily relieve with ordinary drugs, and I hoped, with the aid of the special preparation of Asparagus ‘Officinalis (from which, as you have ex- plained to me, your pilis are made}, to ob- tain much better results. | was not disappointed. From the very beginning, the results | got were to me, as a physician, ast: nishing. In rheumatism and gout, those diseases which we are often unable to do more than relieve—sometimes not that—Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills almost invariably ef- fected a cure. ba Kidney troubles, diabetes. pain in the back, sleeplessness and all that train of dis- orders, were relieved ina few doses, and sooner or later cured. In anemia, chlorosis, general depression, nervous headache, hysteria, neuralgia, etc., the effects were perhaps even more marvel- ous, the patient seeming to wake up into new life, with new energy, new ambition, new blood and new complexion. I have now used Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills for some time, and have decided to use them constantly. I know of no prep- aration which has such immediate and last- ing curative power over all diseases caused by impure or vitiated blood. Wishing youevery success, and that your remedy my become as widely known as it should, 1 remain sincerely yours, JOHN DOBSON, M. D. Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills owe their curative power to the healing and tonic properties of Asparagus on the kidneys. It builds up the kidneys, and through them cleanses and revitalizes the blood. A few doses will relieve. A few boxes will cure. Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills are for sale at all druggists, price 50 cents per box, or will be sent to any address postpaid, on receipt of price. An interesting pamphlet on the subject will be mailed free to any address, Hobb’s Med-" icine Co., Chicago or San Francisco.

A wagon load of young people were re- turning from a dance when the horses be- came unmanageable. Four @f the occupants were thrown out and Miss Lena Motley aged 20, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Samue C. Motley of Troy, and the Robinson child were instantly killed. The fad was the grandchild of Mr. and Mrs. a. Henry Motley, brother of Miss Motley, re- ceived injuries that may prove fatal.

Coach Wade, of ‘auw team, came over to the Purdue-Missourt game last Sat- urday and left town with a good deal of information as to Missouri’s play. He acknowledged the play in Saturday’s game of a superior order, but was confident that De Pauw would make a better showing than Purdue. While the De Pauw team is exceeding heavy, weighing on an average 18 pounds, it is said to be very active, playing fast and snappish ball from:start to finish. There have been some changes made in the De Pauw team lately. Roller has been put in at center. Tilden, last year’s end, its once more his old position. He etrengthens the line immensely. Rueck will to the half-back. He is said to be the Fest man in Indiana behind the line. He never fails to advance the ball.

Magrane, the St. Louls turfman, has experienced about as long and costly a run of hard luck with his horses since he came here from Detro&t as it is possible for any one man to suffer. To begin with, his cratk 3-year-old, Frank K., after run- ning one'race here, hooked pone of his eyes on @ nail in his stall. The optic was, of course, destroyed and the colt has not raced since. Then Montre,; another one of Ma- grane’s crack 3-year-olds, fell in his work about six weeks ago and injured himself so badly that he had to be destroyed. Ta Ta, who was a very serviceable se Soreas| last season, has been sick all summer and other horses in the stable have been laid up. Thursday Broadside, one of Magrane’s good 2-year-olds, went to the post favorite for the first race, but it was in line with his unfor- tunate owner’s luck that he should throw his jockey at the post, and run away for nearly three miles, necessitating his wee drawal from the race. “Counsellor Bin” Brien, who is at the Fair Grounds with a string of Wastern horses, is getting a whole lot of notoriety in the Eastern papers in connection with ’ Baldwin’s trouble with the Jockey ‘Baldwin went East this spring witk Sam Hildreth; who was ruled off at East St. Louls and afterWdrds reinstated, and Brien, but the Jockey Club refused to license the latter and Baldwin had to drop him. Brien was ruled off the turf years ago, on a charge of ‘‘stiffen ” Ballston in a race at Saratoga. Afterwards Brien was reinstated. At the time it-was sald ‘‘Coun- sellor Bill’’ promised never. to race horses again. If this was true, however, he forgot all about it after the ban was removed from him, and goon returnd to his old love again. ; . ¢ ° Abe Cahn, the St. Louis horseman who races in the colors of the Charter Oak Sta- ble, has purchased from Charles Fileisch- man & Son, the millionaire Cincinnati turf- men, the two well-known performers George Beck and The Preserver, Abe’s brother, Lou Cahn, will race the pair at New Orleans this winter. The Fleischmans gave $6,000 for George Beck and $7,500 for The Preserver, but it is safe to say that the Cahns did not pay anywhere near what the pee originally cost. George Beck made his first appearance in the Charter Oak colors Thursday. The Cahns thought he had a chance, and bet on him, but he sulked and was ‘unplaced.

Kingman and others, was called for trial Friday morning in Judge Russell's division of the Circuit Court. Sixteen acres of land valued at $200,000 is involved. The property is located on King’s highway and Berlin avenue, in Peter Lindell’s second addition to the city of St. Louis. This proceeding is to restrain the defendants from prosecuting a suit in ejectment now pending in the Circuit Court. The suit has been tried twice upon the title, once in the State Courts and once in the Federal Courts, and was decided against the title of Kingman, who are the am- mond heirs. The trial of the cause will consume the day. Ex-Senator Hendérson and James M. Lewis represent the plaintiffs and Leverett Bell the defendants. THE WRONG BOTTLE. Wm. C.

Men on the Floors of the Building Fell to the Greund With the Wall, CLYDP, 0., Oot. 25—Half the east wall of the Elmore Manufacturing Co,’s three- story bicycle factory collapsed at 7:30 this morning. All the floors were filled with workmen. More than a dozen are badly in- jured, and several are buried under the debris. Volunteers risked their lives to rescue the unfortunates. A young son of Foreman George Holloway was the first to be dug out. He is badly crushed and man- gied, but may recover. The following is a list of the injured: JAMES BECKER, one of the proprietors} head badly bruised and hips injured. CHARLES EBERHARDT, caught by fall- ing wall; right arm and shoulder bruised and cut.

HUDSON, right leg caught under falling timbers and broken in two places. The work of removing the debris still continues, but it is thought all the injured men have been rescued. Workmen commenced this morning to dig a trench along the east wall of the building for a water main and it was this which weakened the wall and caused it to col lapse. All the men who were in the trench at the time were caught under the er wall and their escape from instant deat is miraculous, as the wall fell outward. All three of the floors ancy gd fell, throwing those who were on them to the ground. The portion of the wall which fell is about ninety feet in length and three stories high. | The main offices were in this end of the building and consequently fewer workmen were there to be caught. TRAINS COME TOGETHER. One Killed and Twenty-one Injured in a Wreck. BOSTON, Mass. Oct. 25.—On the Prol- dence division of the Consolidated road at Hyde Park, eight miles from here, the New London express, running at the rate of fifty miles an hour, crashed into the rear end of the Dedham local passenger train, telescoping a combination and a passenger car in which there were about one hundred persons. The rear brakeman was so badly crushed ,that he died within an hour and two passengers, one a woman, were dug out from the burning debris and sent to the hospital in a dyin cohdition. The local passenger was seventeen minutes late and the express was on time, but its engineer paid no heed to the danger block signals and did not see the train ahead in time to / prevent the accident. J. Montgomery Sears, the wealthiest man in New England, estimated to be worth $70,000,000, and Con- gressman Eliiah A. Morse of Canton were among ttie passengers, the latter being in- pared somewhat.

CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 2%.—A dispatch from Richmond, Ky., says: John G. Fee, the eminent founder of Berea College and for over forty years pas- tor of the church at Berea, has tendered his resignation under rather sensational circum- stances. The church is a union one, tolerating any form of baptism, a doctrine which Dr. Fee has zealously taught. A few weeks ago, however, he became convinced that his teachings had been wrong andso notified his congregation, telling them they must be baptized according to the Campbellite faith in order to be saved. The members pro- tested against this, and by a large majority vote decided to adhere to their origin views. This produced a rupture between Dr. Fee and his congregation and the doctor has resigned. Dr. Fee is one of the best known men in the Union, and his books and tracts had exerted a wide influence in re- ligious and educational circles. It is not know whether or not he will sever his connection with the college of which he had long been the guiding spirit.’ IT KILLED HIS MOTHER. But the Son Who Attempted Suicide Will Recover.

' When they are feel- ing particularly well, they sometimes take chances which in the long run cause them much pain and. trou- ble. ‘This is due largely to their not: fully realizing how’ : delicate their sen- 4 sitive organism is. The girl who has just, become a wo- man can hardly be expected to act wisely, everything is so new to her. She, “however, should be told; and every woman should realize that to be well her ‘‘ monthly periods” should’ be regular. Wet feet, or a cold from exposure, may suppress or render irregular and fearfully painful the men- ses, and perhaps sow the seed for future ill health.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Prussia has just completed a census. The entire popula- tion, June 14 last, was 31,491,209, an increase of 1,535,928, or 5 13-100 per cent since Decem- ber. 1890. The males increased 773,051 and the females 762,877. In Berlin the increase of females was especially marked, being two and one-hali times over men. The surprise of the new census was the small increase in Berlin’s population, all the more startling ——s to the unprecedented increase of Berlin for the years 1870 and 1890. It was only 36,288, or 2 2-10 for tHe past four and a half years. The census shows a continuance of the movement towards cities from the country, in which Berlin had not her usual share.
