When the State closed the defense decided to not put the defendant on the stand, nor to introduce any other testimony. They offered to submit the case without argu- ment, but the prosecution would not agree. The case was argued Friday night. Coun- sel for the defense made a strong plea for The arguments cl at 11 o'clock, The instructions from the court to the jury were lengthy. The counsel for the ae fense wanted an instruction for murder in the second degree, but the court would not grant this. The verdict must be either murder in the first degree or acquittal. To a Post-Dispatch reporter J. R. —— foreman of the jury, said the jury arriv at a conclusion within half an hour after they retired. Mr. Evans was formerly County Superintendent of Schools and was also at one time principal of the Floris- sant Academy. He is now living at Fer- guson. © “When the trial began,” said Mr. Evans, “I could not help but sympathize with the accused because of his youth. But his de- meanor all during the trial was against him. I think he has no redeeming trait. The evidence was all @gainst him and as we had sworn to do our duty there was only one verdict we could bring in, and that was to find him lity. The remarks he made when the verdict was announced is an index to his character. “The jury was unanimous in believing him guilty. We took only one ballot, and that was at 7 o'clock this morning. It was vir- tually understood last night how all would vote, but we did not think it best to be in too great a hurry.” Mr. Arthur Atwater, a brother of the murdered man, arrived in Clayton last night and was present when the verdict was read, He had intended being present during the entire trial, but was prevented by his mother’s dangerous condition.

An angel stooped and smoothed the pate s0 harassed and perturbed of late, and whispered softly in his ear: Sleep, kindly spirit; be of cheer. Go forth to-day and do not fear. Go forth to- day and face the world, though taunts into thy teeth be hurled, nor heed the wrath of virtue’s foes, who may thy righteous plans oppose. “Though art is long, the time is brief, The friends of vice shall come to grief.

Though everybody has occasion to thimb the City Directory, there is probably no publication so useful in commercial life about whose production the public knows so little. The Directory is to the business man what the dictionary is to the man of letters. It contains the answers to thousands of ques- tions which present themselves to thou- sands of different kinds of people. The forthcoming Directory will contain 11.000, 000 ems of type and will comprise 170 pages b eee Nene, forty days and forty pages. It requires forty nights to get out the edition after the in- formation is all in the office. The man who regards the City Directory as a good thing to swear by or a good thing to throw at his office boy occasionally, or even the man who recognizes the sterling worth of the publication, gives little thought to how or where or when the City Directory is produced. Taking up the last question first, it may be said that the Directory is being ena ae all the year round. The Directory for 1896 will not have been thoroughly distributed before the work of compiling the 1897 volume will begin. There are always ten or twelve men on duty. It is the province of these men to note changes either in the population, or changes in the city as are due to its owth. One set of men, for in- stance, does nothing but follow up the mortuary records. Probably very few peo- le know that as soon as a man dies the act is noted at the Directory office and the “dead one's“ pases — for — — om the next issue. Information as gained from the records of the Health De- partment. Then, too, the office keeps well posted as to removals or arrivals, and altogether. con- trives to keep abreast of changes of all kinds. The work of the Street Department is carefully watched and every change made in the topography of the city through the lengthening of old streets or the crea- tion of new ones is duly noted. Firm changes, dissolutions or failures are also watched closely, as it is the — of the Directory company to get as much of its information as 1 by actual ob- servation, rather than dy investigation Directory, as everybody afterwards. The St. Louis knows, is published by the Gould Directory Co., which has its offices at 813 Locust street. It is there that all this work of compilation is done between what are known as the busy seasons, and it is there that the in- formation brought in by the canvassers is pu! in shape to be placed before the public. These canvassers and their ory | and method of work are perhaps the most inter- esting of the factors which play a part in the evolution of the big book. About the first of November each year all the matter in the Directory outside of the residents’ names—such as names and loca- tions of streets and lists of public officials and officers of various societies—is changed and brought up to date by consulting public or private records. a Then Mr. Gould 4s. ready: for the can- vassers. Men seeking these positions come in droves, but as the reqnuirememts are ex- tremely exacting only a small ntage of the applicants are fina ut to w In the first place the applicant must come well recommended by one or more re- sponsible citizens in standing in the community. He must be a sober and ener- etic man of good moral standing and of — respectable antecedents. But though he may have all these qualifications, to- gether with a high order of intelligence, he will be turned down unless he shows that he has a special adaptability to the work. The Gould Directory Co. has a system by which the doctrine of the survival of the fittest is applied to the agptioants in a somewhat unique manner. It has a a larly organized and well appointed school in its building on Locust street. he plan usually followed is fo select 250 men from among the applicants and place these on probation. The 250 are divided into five squads of fifty. Each of these squads in turn ts given a week's schooling and those who prove most apt are given positions as canvassers. For five weeks instructions are given in the school, from 10 a. m. to noon each day. The first branch taken up is 82 The course through which the applicants are put is most severe and it is an extra good penman that stands the test. The work requires a very plain, full round hand, which few of the would-be canvassers have, and which fewer of them can acquire in one week's training. Special attention is also paid to spelling. The knowledge of proper names and the pecullar ways in which they are spelled comes natural to some, while others can Never acquire it. The last of the three branches taught in the echool is so difficult to master that it usu- ally stumps about half of those who have stood the other tests successfully. It might be termed the geography of the city. No man who is not at least intimately ac- quainted with the location of the city streets and the spelling of their names can expect to be made a canvasser. These are the three branches taught in the school, but the end is not yet: After ‘graduating’ from the school the success- ful ones are tested as to lowed by an experienced canvasser and results carefully compared.

Louis, and are provided in a manner which will impose no perceptible burden upon any- one, * A bill is now before the Mayor for his signature providing that on May 13 of each year the Comptroller shall transfer from the municipal revenue to a fund for the erection of hospital buildings an amount of money equal to one per cent of the muni- cipal revenue for the next preceding fiscal ear. 47 this method there will be a sum of be un $50,000 and $60,000 available each year tor erecting hospital buildings. The direction of the work is vested in a board to consist of the Mayor, Comptroller and heads of two or three other of the city departments. They are given authority to see that the funds are properly applied to the uses for which they are intended. The idea now is to build up the present City Hospital upon the pavilion plan. That is, to build separate buildings about the grounds now unoceupied, which may available for distinct classes of d one for consumptives, one for rheumatics, one for erysipelas, and so on. As these buildings multiply so as to relieve the glut within the main building, that structure will be gradually removed, so that in time, instead of a huge, ungainly, inflammable building of 3 or 1 stories, there will be a series of real sanitary, modern structures, all on a level with each other and exactly suited to the purposes for which they are intended. ’ Comptroller Sturgeon, in speaking of the plan, said Saturday: It is a beautiful idea, and I am delighted to be authorized to apply some of the city’s revenue to 60 worthy a purpose. I shall to make my calculations very shortly, and take all the necessary steps to provide the money de- manded. It will N be missed from the general fund, and Will certainly be a benefit worthy of very considerable sacrifice should it be necessary. “The pavilion plan, I believe, is the one contemplated by those who have the mat- ter in charge.

Several Speeches Made in Favor of the Measure and Beutelle Was Called Down. * WASHINGTON, April (. — The House has decided to hold a night session for debate on the Cuban reselutions and to vote Mon- day after the reading of the Journal, Some minor business was transacted in the House this morning and then the Cuban resolutions were taken up. Mr. Adams (Rep.) of Pennsylvania, a — the Cuban coast. uward the United States, * neff WITH A VIRAGO. Lottie Merarland Whips Mer Mother | and a Half Dezen Policemen, . Ola Mrs. McFarland of 2712 Randolph street asked the police this morning to member-of the Committee on Foreign Af- search for her daughter, Lottie, who had fairs, was the first speaker on the Cuban resolutions. He said he should have re- frained from addressing the House further on this question, but for the “extraordinary performance of the gentleman from Maing (Mr. Boutelle) yesterday.” Referring to the charge that the people were not behind the effort of 8 to grant proper feco nition to Cuba, he asserted that Congre seldom .before received so many pet ns on any subject as this. What bett proof could we have of the 1 of the resolutions? He cohtroverted Mr. Bou- *elle’s proposition that sentiment was sub- ing and asserted that the oppositive which had been made in the Senate had been for the mere purpose of obstruction. Continuing, Mr. Adams contended that a handful of Senators had taken revent. fit j of | ption of of the Senate to prevent the the conference report by speaking of the merits of the „ Mr. Adams said the Cubans had an organized form of government, and were in every way entitled to the recognifion — ae by the resolutions. Mr. Adams read resolutions adopted by leading citizens of the town of Mantua in the province of Pinar del Rio, announcing adherence to the cause of the insurgents to refute the charges that they had no support in the cities. The original draft of the resolutions was in Senator Sher- man's ession. Mr. Knox (Rep.) of Massachisetts was recognized to read a letter from his col- league, Mr. Draper, a member of the For- eign Affairs Committee, opposing the adop- tion of the conference r Mr. Knox took occasion to say that he differed from Mr. 8 and made a plea for affirmative action. e thought the measure should be taken to put an end to the barbarous war- fare, and that for this country to fail to do this would be to incur the loss of our own self respect as well as to deserve the con- témpt of all foreign nations, Mr. Gillette (Rep.) of Massachusetts spoke in op ition to the resolutions. He ad- mitt that — Gempeed sympathy was with the Cubans, but argued that the question at issue was one of wisdom and justice, saying he did not consider it expedient to embroil the United States in a matter of this character, especially when the resolu- tions could of no avail. Furthermore, he considered that the recognition of belliger- ency should rest with the Executive. he resolutions of sympathy, he declared, were merely a cloak for our ambition. PLANTATIONS BURNED.

An Account of Their Gory Crimes Con- firmed by a Correspondent. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 4.—The Pica- yune’s Havana correspondent sends an ac- count of Spanish atrocities, whose accuracy he has confirmed by personal investiga- ‘tion: In the City of Batabano the Chief of Po- lice and other local authorities arrested three individuals and took them on the out- skirts of the town, where they were butch- ered and left dead on the roadside, the murderers bringing the report to the city that the insurgents had kiiled the men. The men in the village of San Felipe, sol- diers under the command of Col. Galbs and Col. Linares, captured three inoffensive la- borers and hacked them to pieces, amid the laughter of the troops, who shouted that they could not serve the insurgents any more. ' In the city of Bejufal, Brig. Calixton Ruiz was walted upon by seven Cuban insur- gents, who wished. to surrender, as were suffering from bilious fever. He wel- comed them, and assured them that they would not be troubled. However, the fol- lowing day they were taken out and shot eath. 2 Col.

The gale is the last commercial trans- action of one of the oldest and wealthiest firms in the West. The price or terms could not be learned. The immense stock of dry goods, notions and gents’ furnishings will be moved to Kansas City in bulk as soon as the invento- ry now under way is completed. One of the Swoffords has been in St. Louis sev- eral days closing the deal, the final details of which were agreed upon just before noon to-day. . The firm of Samuel C. Davis & Co. has been in business in St. Louis for sixty-five years. It started in a small way at the corner of Market street and Commercial Alley. In a few years its trade had so increased under the shrewd management of Samuel C. Davis, who died in 1882, that it sought larger quarters on North Main street. Here it remained until 1871, when the magnificent five-story solid stone build- ing at the northwest corner of Broadway and Washington avenue was built and the firm has occupied it since. . Its trade has been among the most ex- tensive of any wholesale dry goods estab- lishment in the country. Its contracts with the Government in supplying Indian agencies have been especially large. On the death of Samuel C. Davis he was succeeded in the active management by his son. John T. Davis, who died two years ago this month, leaving an immense es- tate. Last September the firm announced its determination to go out of business, the younger generation St Davises having no desire for trade. When the elder John T. Davis died his son, also named John T., inherited the Davis share of the dry goods establishment. The other partner was Andrew roule. The closing transaction of to-day described by one of the attaches of the firm as a rivate matter between these two and wofford Bros. The Davis estate is in no way involved in it. | It could not be learned at the store to- day whether or not the building has been eased. MOCKERY UPON THE LAW.
