Geting Ready for the A. P. A. Fight on McKinley. pecial to The ‘Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—J. H. D. Stevens of St. Louis, State President of the A. P. A., and a member of the Supreme Council, which will meet here next week, arrived last night. Mr. Stevens refuses to gay anything for publication concerning the attitude of the order towards McKinley and Bland, but it is said that he will lead the fight on the two men when the Su- reme Council comes to the point in its Reliberations where its stand on presiden- tial candidates is to be taken. ‘Indications point to an extremely lively session of the Supreme Council.» President Stevens is to have opposition from his own State in his endeavor to line up the Coun- cil against McKinley. Haughawaut, the friendly Indian of the Ozarks,’’ who is one of the delegates from Missouri, is coming to the Supreme Coun- cil to openly fight Stevens. aughawaut 4s backed by a considerable element of the order in the State which insists that it will not obey the dictate of the order to fight against McKinley.

Whitledge, the Assistant arbor ter, and Capt. James O'Neal of the U. 8. engineeers. On their way they claim to have discov- eréd the 7 fact that the river is eat- ing (ts way slowly but surely into the bank toward the conduit and will in the course of time carry off the whole structure.

One old man named Jose Marero, who was confined as a political oi mend had lost the use of His right arm y disease and was just able to get around. “A little after 6 in the morning we were each of us given a very small cup of coffee. The first meal of the day, if it could be called a meal, came after 9 o’clock. It con- sisted of a little rice, which was generally dirty, a few small potatoes boiled with their skins on and often partly rotten; a little piece of boiled salt beef or beef cut up in small bits, with soup, just about enough and of the poorest quality. The meat was often spoiled and unfit for anything but a vulture to eat. The second and last meal of the day came about 4 in thé: afternoon and was the same as the first.

On such a contract he could afford to divide with the Judge and army officers to k the prison full. This explained the whole thing to me why cripples and non-combatants were kept confined as political prisoners.“ pedition. paper from Atiantic City, N.

An inquest was held Monday morning to ascertain the cause of the death of Mrs. Mary D. Barada, who met with such a sad accidental death late Saturday night. The verdict was “death by accident.” The circumstances surrounding the mis- hap are peculiarly sad: The Bara:la resi- dence is at 10389 North Grand avenue. Next door south is the residence of Mrs. J. Ghio, the mother of Mrs, Barada. About U o'clock Saturday night a serv- ant hurried from Mrs. Ghio’s bedside and informed her daughter that Mrs. Ghio, who is 1 of age, had been stricken with paralysis. Ng Barada hurried to the bedside of her mother. After ascertaining her condition she re- turned in haste to her own home to get the telephone number of the family physi- cian, Dr. Bustathius Chancellor. Passing through the house to the dining- room she opened the elevator door to take that conveyance to the second floor. The elevator was not there, as she sup- posed, but was on the third floor, and she stepped into space. , The fall to the basement was only ; feet and would not necessarily have eames serious injury. In falling, however, . : unfortunate lady’s head struck the edge 0 the elevator drum or wheel, crushing in the back of the skull in a frightful manner.

Nis Friends in Washington Surprised That Missouri Ignored Him. W. S. Logan of the Liggett & Meyers To- bacco Co. has returned from Washington, where he went with a delegation of North St. Louis citizens to advance the interests of a third bridge for the city. Mr. Logan says the revelations made by the del tion regarding the impositions on the — of St. Louis by the present bridge pool were startling to the Senate Committee and that Senator Elkins de- clared them to be outrageous. He feels almost certain that a new bridge will be built across the river at some point in North St. Louis during the next few years and that ite charter will be so hedged about by the federal franchise that it can- not fall into the hands of the combine.

Backer, 17, living at 2205 Euge- nia street, rushed into the Central Police Station Sunday night and told an exciting tale of a kidnapping in which a man with a large revolver played an important part. Young Backer was accompanied by John Moran, a boy of his own age living at 2207 Benton street. Backer told the desk Ser- eant that he and Moran had taken Mary — and Carrie Staple, aged 12 and 15 years, to Forest Park, where they had re- mained all afternoon. At 6 o’clock they started home and got off the car at Third street and Washington avenue, where Carrie Staple left them and went to her home. While he and Moran and Mary Frost were talking on the corner a man ap- roached them and ordered Mary to go with him. Mary refused and the man grabbed her wrist and Backer says he drew a re- volver from his pocket and ordered her to accompany him, pointing the weapon at her head. Backer said he saw the man lead her down Washington avenue and disappear with her under one of the arches of the bridge. Mary was found in the rooms of her mother, in the Ashley Building, at Broad- way and O' Fallon street, Monday morning, and her story was considerably different to that of Backer’s. , She said that while she was standing on the corner talking to Backer and Moran a nicely dr man came up to her and told her she was in bad company and said he a to put her on a car and send her ome. She went with him to the car-at Broadway and Washington avenue, and he gave her a nickel to pay her fare home and saw her on the car safely. She says she never saw the man before and he did not tell her who he was. SHOT HIS NEPHEW. A Sick Uncle Vents His Wrath With Bullets. Because Thomas Hutchinson would not get his uncle, Gustave Loraine, a clean bowl of water Sunday night he was shot in the left breast, but not seriously injured. Loraine has been living in a shanty boat at the foot of Angelrodt street and has been an invalid for a —2 time. Hutchinson has been waiting on him. He wanted a bowl of water, which Hutchinson said was @ luxury he did not need. They quarreled over it, and Loraine got so mad he secured his revolver and ordered his nephew to get the water. When the latter refused the invalid shot at him. The bullet plowed a furrow in the fleshy part of Hutchinson's left breast. The wound was dressed at the North Branch Dispensary by Dr. Randall, who said it was not dangerous. Loraine was not arrested because Hutchinson said he would not prosecute him. CLAIMS TO BE LOST.

SHE SAYS SHE cur A MAN, Curious Story Told by Miss Adams of 1837 South Seventh Street About. a Marauder. “Knife, used by Miss Nettle Adams up- on an unknown man at her residence, 1837 South Seventh street, about 6 p. m.—so she claims." : Such is the legend on a tag attached to a table knife at the Second District Police Station. The last words, So she claims,” is the laconic way the police have of ex- pressing their doubt of Miss Adams’ story that she was attacked by an unknown masked man at her home ‘Saturday even- ing, that she cut him with the knife on the left forearm and put him to flight. The police’ discredit her statement be- cause Dr. August R. ber, assistant su- perintendent of the City Hospital, examined the villain’s alleged blood encrusted on the blade and pronounced it to be paint, purple ink or dye. Miss Adams is indignant because the pub- lic servants have not accepted her story and are doing nothing to capture her as- Sailant. She is sorry the police heard of her experience and she is almost as X- hausted from repeating her version of it as she was from the struggle with the in- truder. Why Nettie should steep a knife in thin red paint or spill ink over it to palm off a bit of imagination as an actual fact, is a presses wuich the police cannot answer, Dut e stain on the blade does not appear to be blood, and Dr. Reber declares that the mi- croscope proves that it is not blood. Blood can be told as easily as day from darkness,” said he, “and that stuff on the knife blade is not blood.“ Nettie is rather a pretty girl of 18. She 1s frail and languid, and resides with oer wid- owed mother in two rooms and a kitchen at 1837 South Seventh street. She used to work for the Meyer Bros. Drug Co., but she gave up her employment a few months ago when her motner became ill. quote Mr. Ponderbury, this is the story of the knife“ as told by Miss Adams: “Iwas alone in the house and was dress- ing my hair in the middle room when I heard a noise in the kitchen. There was a table knife on the dresser. I thought as I started for the kitchen to investigate the I would take back the knife to its I opened the door and walked into the kitchen I saw a big man, wearing a mask. I started back to the middle 8 but he caught me by the arm and said: “Oh, you won't run away. I want eup- per. Cook me a good meal.”’ “I told him supper was over and I could only give him some cold food. He then. struck me with a stick on the right arm and on the side of the nead. He caught me by the throat so that I could hardly breathe and pushed me against the door. I then struck at him with the knife. I cut him on the left arm below the elbow. He let go of my throat, shook blood from his arm and ran out of the kitchen and into the yard. I walked into the middle room and that is all I remember.”’ Nettie’s mother finishes the story by say- ing that she returned home about 7 o’clock and found her daughter lying in a faint on the floor of the middle room. The bloody-looking. knife was beside her, and a pool of blood was on the kitchen oor. don't see how they can say that it was red ink or paint, for we have nothing of the kind in the house,“ said Mrs. Adams. She added that she put Nettie to bed and applied restoratives, which brought her to. No doctor was called, but Nettie remained in bed recovering from the shock until Sun- day afternoon. here were no marks on her throat Monday morning. The police of the Second District are still employed in the double task of looking for the unknown villain en the case and find- ing out a motive to prompt the girl to cover a knife with red ink and call it blood. Nettie says her assailant was about 30 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighed 160 pounds. TOOK ROUGH ON RATS. Fatal Result ef a City Employe’s Con- tinued Bebauch. | Joseph V.

When it was reported that he favored ad- mitting women as members the barbers be- gan calling on him to talk about the mat- ter. Mr. Vaupel says he has been misquoted on the subject. He is and always nas been strongly N to admitting females as members of the Barbers’ Union.

The Slick Trick of 2 Mose Thief and His Escape. Sergt. John Collins of the Fifth Police Dis- trict weeps large tears whenever he thinks of a little experience he had last Saturday night. e was walking along Spring avenue, near Lindell boulevard, when he saw a young man carrying a large roll Of garden hose, presumably stolen from the residence ce some fashionable West Ender. , Sergt. Collins placed the man under ar- rest and marched him to the patrol box at Grand and Lindel] avenues, two long blocks east, to call the wagon. The prisoner, whoever he was, had his wits about him and it did not take him a week to map out his line of action. With a quick movement he swung himself about, threw the coll of hose over the Ser- geant’s head and fairly flew. The young. man ran north on Grand ave- nue towards Beers’ Hetel and became lost in the crowd. Hundreds of fashionable people were out promenading and driving, as it was still early in the evening, and much merriment was created by the sight of tue dude Ser- geant with a coil of heavy hose caressing his neck and shoulders. Sergt. Collins deposited the hose in the atrol wagon and sent it to the station, but e was so greatly embarrassed by the oc- currence that he did not report it to Capt. Keeble until Sunday night. BISSBLL'S FATAL SPREB, New York Salesman Jumps From a Third-Story Wiudow. Just after midnight this message of sym- pathy flashed over the wires from New York to the authorities at the City Hos- pital: “Tell my husband to cheer up. Every- thing is all right. MRS. BISSELL.” The telegram was from a frightened wife, who had been wired that her husband had been dangerously wounded. It was turn over to the nurse in charge of the ward where the wounded man lay. She took it to his bedside to see if: he could comprehend its contents, but even as she stood there with the message in her hand he gasped and died. This was the end of Samuel L. Bissell, a pores man for the New York dry goods house of H. B. Clafiln & Co. It was the re- sult of a protracted spree and an effort to sober up without “tapering off.“ Bissell registered at the Planters“ April 24. He was around the hotel until four days ago, when he disappeared. His room was locked and his baggage held for security. A telegram was received from his wife ask- ing his whereabouts. eply was made that he was probably away on business, but Mrs. Bissell was not satisfied and wired Chief Harrigan. Detec- tives failed to find the man. Sunday morning he walked into the hotel sober, but disheveled and dirty. He told Chief Clerk Moore that he had been on a drunk and wanted to sober up. He wept when told of his wife's solicitude. Mr. Moore sent the man to his room and Dr. Lyons subscribed a sedative for him. He was then put to bed and a telegram announcing his reappearance sent to his wife. The clerk called on him later and found him better. About 5 o’clock Frank Bunyan, an em- loye of the Western Union, whose build- ng ie across the alley from the Planters’, saw Bissell walking excitedly in his room and talking to himself. Then he saw him to the window, de- liberately let himself down by his hands and after a vain effort to get back fall with a shriek. His feet caught in the electric light wires, turnin him a somersault. He struck squarely on his head on a 2x4 scantling in the alley, breaking it. When picked up he was still conscious, The ambulance was called and he was Dispensary. = ray out he told Policeman Allen not know how he came to fall — 2 * window.

Manager Diddlebock and his men arrived in St. Louis this morning. They came from Chicago, where three reeking scalps hang to the.belt of Adrian Anson. Another was lost at Springfield, IM., where a party of amateur warriors routed the Browns most disastrously. Still the cohorts of Diddelbock are un- dismayed. They are still alive and ap- pear to be thankful that they are. There were rumors of war around Sports- man’s Park this morning. The hangers-on are waiting and watching for the storm to break. Meanwhile they told each other in whispers what Von der Ahe would do to Diddlebock for losing three straight games to Chicago. Mighty Behemoth Von der Ahe was strid- ing around like a bear with a sore head. The players gave him a wide berth. About 9:90 a. m. Diddlebock arrived and strode in to the president’s private office, or the lton’s den. The magnate opened his mouth, but Did- dlebock stified his roar with a wad of bills, value $65,000, St. Louis’ share of the Chi- ‘cago games. > 4 898 ¢ „% + „ * . * * . . dimities, etc., worth up to * | 20c a yard : INDIGO PRINTS—vVery best M , Serge 0 ‘Fe ; usually sold at 7}4c a yard, (Basement) — oy ae . eeeecve „ LINJING—Best Kid-finish Cambric, all colors and black (second floor), per yard CCC CCT SOOT HO ee Bees 3 W . \ V ar — Me., one in front of the public building at | and the other in a public in leans.

COLORED EMBROIDERIES-~ X Cee to 6 inches E ae the new order. This rule, if enforced during the week as well as on Sundays, will put an end to training over the course and compel those entered for the Forest Park race to do their work over another road. While this rule may be justified on Sundays, when the park is so crowded with vehicles as to make fast rid- ing difficult and ossibly dangerous, it seerms that Mr. Ridgely might relax it for a couple of hours each evening on week days without in any way restricting the rights and pleasures of the general public.

Diddlebock then told his hard luck story. Christopher listened, sympathized and emiled. hree weary knockers'“ who were eavesdropping walked disconsolately away. Harry Diddlebock is still manager of the St. Louls team. His head is not in the basket, where lie those of Comiskey, Wat- kins and Buckenberger. Mr. Diddlebock told a Post-Dispatch rep- resentative that he had a very pleasant quarter of an hour with Mr. Von der Ahe. He ought to have it preserved in alcohol, Such specimens are rare. The manager asserted that there never had been any friction between him and the club President. “We have settled up our accounts to date,“ said Mr. Diddlebock, “and every- thing is straight as a string. As for that ridiculous story about my not having set- tled up the accounts of my Texas trip, it pee manufactured by my enemies solely to jure me. 7% am still manager of the St. Louis team, knockers to the contrary notwithstanding. “T had an understanding with Mr. Von der Ahe this morning relative to the busi- ness management of the club, Hereafter Mr.* Oliver will tend the gate and take charge of the receipts. I will draw upon him for hotel bills, railroad fare and general xpenses. 8 8 Re have sole charge of the team on the field and am responsible for its work and condition.“ All the St. Louis players claim that that old blame-bearer, “‘luck,”” was against them in the series at Chicago. i „ never saw such a run of luck,” said Second Baseman Quinn at the park this morning. For the first time this year we hit the ball hard, but it seemed to always go right at a fielder. If the Chicago men touched the ete it landed just beyond nds of our fingers. : ing fare is an instance: In Faturdax's ame we had them going. Parrott and ross were on first and second, with nobod out. They started to make a double steal. Reilly, the Chicago shortstop, ran to back up third base on the catcher’s throw to head Cross off at third. He ran right into Cooley’s liner that was good for three bases. Cross was at — — (eo on cond. It was an easy trip ; „Breitenstein said that he had lots of speed and curves, but that the Colts would hit him anyhow. , 5 r Diddlebock bas protested Sun- note aeons in Chicago on the grounds that the spectators undu interfered with the players by crowding in on the field. He says that Anson did not have the field properly policed, as called for by the rules. All the St. Louls players agree that Weid- man is an unfair umpire. Both Hart and Breitenstein say that he does not follow a curved ball at ali and merely guesses at it. Quinn says that he could not umpire a game of quoits. All the layérs are in fine shape. Douglas and Quinn collided in Chi while going after a fiy, but neither was hurt. The old layers speak in terms of the ——.— praise of the work of Meyers and as. Although the boys lost three games they eeel more confident than when they left. his feeling is inspired rf the way in which they have been hitting the ball, That splendid gation of geod fellows nd eat ball Eren the Philadelphia ase Ball Club, is at the Lindell. Manager Billy Shettsline has nineteen players with him. Con Lucid, who is Ack, is the only member of the club not in St. Louls. Manager Shettsline is a modest fellow and makes no claim for his team. Still it is easy to see that the Phillies are out for the rag.“ as Capt. Billy Nash dubs the pen- years ast. ash, the fa- ampions, to teach them the art of base-running and run-getting, oliceman’s warning to the officers of the St. Louis Cycling Club, who immediately realized the importance of the move. The park being out of the way as a training ground, another must be secured. A confer- ence was held and the result was that nego- tiations have already been opened to secure control of the old Pastime track at De Hodiamont. The Cycling Club officers argue that the interclub road race over the Fair Grounds course will be almost the same as a track race and hence the training might as well be dono on a track. The De Hodia- mont grounds will make excellent — = gia being provided with lockers an aths. Mr. Ridgely’s order will bear particularly hard on the Century Club team. This club has, at considerable expense, established training quarters near the park for the ex- press purpose of utilizing it as a training ground both for the Forest Park and inter- club races. Two tandem teams to pace the men have been organized, to begin Monday evening. If this order is strictly enforced it will force the club to get new quarters and seriously disarrange its plans. It is to be hoped that Mr. Ridgely will see his way clear to a modification of the instruc- tions to the park policemen. * The joint committee having the inter- club race in charge visited the Fair Grounds yesterday, where they met Sec- retary Aull and completed ull arrange- ments. Four men rode over the course and discovered that it is one and seven-eighths miles to the lap. ac- cording to cyclometer measurement. This will necessitate nearly eleven laps to complete the race. Ot course, the oftener the riders pass the stand the more exciting the race will be for the spectators, a circumstance that should increase the attendance. It was definitely decided to finish the race on the mile track in front of the grandstand. The track will be rolled and made as solid as possible, 7 . . To-night the monthly meetings of several of the clubs will be held. The 2 will discuss a proposition to extend the membership limit, which is now seventy- five, to one hundred. The club has now seventy-four members and there are quite a number of applications on Ale awaiting action. It is thought that the amend- ment will be passed without much opposi- tion. This will make it possible to brin the membership up to the century mar in fact as well as name. The Cycling Club has considerable busi- ness to transact, notably the plan to rent the Pastime track. Several applications for membership will be acted upon. The Cross Country Cyclers will hold an important meeting at the clubhouse, 718 North Spring avenue. The proposition to enter some men in the Forest Park road race will be discussed, also the plan to enter the L. A. W. in a body. Robert Holm, Chief Consul for Missouri, is ex- pected to be present to give the beys a talk. Monthly dues are payable at this meeting. TURF GOSSIP. The Starting Machine Given a Trial— Dan Honig’s String Is Here. Several of ths new starting machines were tried at the Fair Grounds yesterday. All d satisfactory work, and it is prac- tically certain that one of them will be used during the coming meeting. The human starter has passed. Henceforth he will be simply an auxiliary to the machine. The ublic will let him go without regret. All hailNto the mechanical starter. Dan Honig, the St. Louis turfman, ar- rived Monday morning with his string of a dozen. He came direct from Forsythe, where the spring meeting ended Saturday. Honig’s horses are stabled in the west yard, where the horsemen gathered to take a look at Magnet. The son of St. Blaise is look- ing in e shape and will probably start in the Inaugural. Many horses were galloping on the track this morning, but no fast work was at- tempted. . Sportsman's Park Entries. THOMAS DAVIDS, WHO THRASHED GROVER CLEVELAND. Thomas Davids, the only man who ever spanked Grover Cleveland, died a few days ago at San Dimas, a small town near Pasadena, Cal. Some time back he had been the proud recipient of a letter from the President of the United States asking after his health and showing by the tenor of the epistle that a man who has twice been chosen the Executive of his country was of too large a caliber to cherish a grudge against the man who thrashed him years ago. In 1843, when the Rev. Richard Cleveland and family moved to Clinton, Oneida County, N. Y., Davids was sexton of the Presbyterian Church in that town. At that time Grover Cleveland was a boy of 6, chubby, large for his age, rather mischievous and exceedingly stubborn. He contracted the habit of throwing snowballs at the stove ter lost his temper upon one historic o knee and spanked him soundly. Nobod in the church over which the sexton had d This amused Grover, but injured 0 mion. stove and annoyed the sexton. The lat- asion, placed the future President across his in this or any other country will be surprised to hear that Grover Cleveland did not ter a word under this infliction. He refused to speak to the sexton for several weeks after the crisis had been had occasi : to lay hands upon young dozen times after that Davids boy’s spirit remained unbroken. > It is certain that Davids was the only as the latter’s father remarked to the sexton assed. Half a rover, but the who ever spanked Grover Cleveland, man “Ghat the boy probably needed. more whip- pings than he received. The Rev. Mr. Cleveland always preferred to spare the rod and let the child run the risk of olling. Thomas Davids lost sight of Grover Cleve- land for many years thereafter, “but had heard much about him for some time part. Davids was very proud of the letter he received from the President, but was unlucky enough to lose it some time before his death CORBET? TALKS FIGHT. . Declares He Will Put a Quietus on Fitz- simmons Yet. Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons may yet come together. At least Corbett said so to a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday morning. He further said that if Fitz would not come to him he would go to Fitz and force him to fight or forever hold his peace. Corbett arrived in town Monday with his wife and sister, and is stopping at the Planters’. He leaves Monday night to join his com- pany at Kansas City, where his theatrical season will close. He was playing billiards with a friend at the Southern Hotel when seen. He plays the difficult two-ball three-cushion nk game and plays it better than most people can the ordinary three-ball game. Between shots he told of his plans for the future. “I close at Kansas City this week,“ he said. From there I shall go ta San Fran- cisco. I haven’t seen mother for three years and naturally I am homesick and anx- ious to get back to my folks. “T have had a very good season and am still in love with the stage. Still, I will never go on the stage again until I shall have met Fitzsimmons. I will put in all my time this summer trying to get at him. When I meet him I will force him to fight or to retract the statements he has made about me. The public will see which of us is shy. I will follow him to England or Austra. lia if necessary. He says he is going over the water. If he does I won't be far behind m. „I will use every fair means to get a fight with him, not because I want the cham- pionship, but because I think the champion should remain in America and defend his title instead of making capital out of it elsewhere. “Tf I do not fight Fitzsimmons or brand him as a coward before the world I will re. tire both from the ring and the stage next fall.“ TALES HENLEY TEAM. Eleven Candidates Have Been Selected to Go to England. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 4.—Bob Cook, Yale’s crew advisor, and Capt. Treadway of the Varsity eight, conferred last evening and selected the candidates for the boat who will be taken to England to race for Yale in the Henley regatta. They are: Stroke, George Langford, St. Paul, Minn.: No. 7, Ralph Gig ag Png Sioux City, Io.; No. 6, A. M. ngacre, Philadel- phia; No. 5, Philip Bailey. indsor Locks, Conn.; No. 4, James Rodgers, Toledo; No. 3, Wm. Beard, Poughkeepsie; No. 2, Alexander Westerns is in fine shape, the different crews are training faithfully and that they propose to make an aggressive campaign in an effort to secure first honors in local regattas. The Westerns still hold the Faust Cup, and will quickly accept a challenge from any club that believes that it is strong enough to beat the South Side Club out of the handsome trophy. It is estimated that fully 1,500 visitors passed through the boathouse during the day. PLEASANT RIVER TRIP. Capt. Zink Shows a Party of Friends the Austria’s Qualities. Capt. Wm. Zink had his beautiful new steam launch Austria out for a spin on the river yesterday. He stopped at the Western Rowing Club’s boat-house and took a large party up the river, returning about 5 p. m. Capt. Zink was highly complimented by his friends on the speed and natty little craft. 1 R The Austria was one of the World's Fair pleasure boats and is a model of its kind. SCOTT JACKS@N’S TRIAL, Testimeny Regarding the Place Where Pearl Bryan Was Found. NEWPORT, Ky., May 4—J. B. Locke, who owns the farm where the body of Pearl Bryan was found, testified in the Jackson trial this morning that he found two spots of blood on the ground and also found b ood on the leaves of the bushes. He also said that he saw marks of the wheels of a car- riage on the grass close beside the ate that led from the road to the spot where the body was found. He went up the road away from Cincinnati to see if he could find where the carriage turned, but found no marks of that kind. This corroborates Geo. Jackson's story, according to which the carriage turned on the road in the other direction. George Dayton, a bartender, was placed on the stand, but was unable to answer any questions put to him. On cross-examination the prosecution had him identify a letter received from John Seward of Somerset, Ky., a detective, who hae been working in the interest of Scott Jackson. The ‘etter contained a formal statement of matters which Seward asked the witness to testify to when he should be called at the trial. A discussion arose upon the admissibility of this paper or letter and the court ruled it Out. It has been hinted that Detective Seward has found a witness who will testify that he drove a carriage over into Kentucky on the night of Jan. 31 for a man who said he was a physician and wanted to take a dead body from Cincinnati to his home for Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 4.—Now it is a bread trust. The poor of this city are so des- titute in many cases that they regard sugar, coal and ice as luxuries and can dispense with them at a pinch, but bread is the main subsistance of many, and if prices raised there will be suffering. The trust will gma | be organized in this city and vicinity in the course of a day or two. The scheme was first broached last fall, when a group of capitalists sent circulars to the rge wholesale bakers, asking whether or not a combination of the bakers could be formed, and, if so, how. The circular set forth that about $2,000,- 000 annually is lost by allowing small deal- ers to return their stale loaves, and that if interests were pooled the supply of bread could be limited and the returns ac- cordingly decreased. The matter was dropped at the time, as many of the bakers did not think it right to drive out the small bakers, but they did say that if the scheme were to be carried to a success a hot fight would have to be waged against the smaller producers. The fight was kept up, however, and now many of those who protested against the freezing out of small bakers have been induced to think that big for- tunes can be made out of consolidation of interests. It is probable that at a meeting of the master bakers’ association to be held on Wednesday the matter will become crystal- lized and become a trust in fact. HANGED AND SHOT. Will Bendy, the Texas Murderer, Lyached by a Meb. BEAUMONT, Tex., May 4.—Judge Lynch has cut short the career of murderer Will Bendy. Saturday evening the last report came in that a strong posse had Bendy surrounded in a big thicket about half a mile from Buna, and that he was almost sure to be captured. Sunday morning early a message was re- ceived that Bendy had left the thicket and had sought ref in the home of his brother-in-law, and there the determined party found him. He was not quick enough in yielding, when a shot rang out that brought him to his senses, This was at 3 o’clock in the morning. The shot wounded him and he began run- ning. When about fifty yards away he ve in and was led by the crowd to the ld Orange and Jasper dirt road. A suitable tree was found and he was swung up. Through the still night air rang out the shots of thirty cool and determined men who had taken the law into their own hands. His body was riddled with bullets and was left hanging. Constable Bibbo, E. B. Romney and Roxey Wall, the latter two colored, are still alive, though suffering from the wounds made by Bendy. Philip Haynes was interred Sunday. GREAT LAND FRAUDS.

Dillman, a real estate dealer of Spo. kane against the Northern Pacific Railroad Co., and in the complaint he tells in full a story of gigantic frauds practiced in con- nection with the sale of lands adjaceat to Spokane. . iliman asks for the return of $312,000 of which he says he was deliberately defraud- ed, for $112,400 damages which he claims to have suffered by reason of false repre- sentations, and for the further sum of 465. 000 which he claims to have paid cut on «9 - „% „ e ¢@ HILL’S 4-4 BLEACHED MUSLIN (seconds) worth 9¢ a yard, while they last (base- ment) per yard... dg. 0 ORIENTAL LACES— In 434 and S yard lengths, in white and ecru, very handsome pat- terns, 6 to 8 inches wide, worth up to 35c 4 yard.

The delegates were early in their seats and the spectators were more numerous than on any previous day. Bishop Merrill of hicago presided and the first hymn was announced by Rev. Dr. Hurlburt of the Sunday-school Union. A fervent prayer was offered by Dr. Hurl- burt, after which the business of the morn- ing was taken up. Rev. H. A. Buchtel of Indiana desired the Episcopal address read in every pulpit. The conférence adopted a resolution to send a copy to each pastor. Dr. Mueller of Cleveland presented a res- olution favoring arbitration for all English- speaking bh nay ghee 9 1 — adopted and a copy order sent to 0 esi United States. Pent the The exciting feature of the day was when Dr. Monroe presented to the conference a written statement from the four women delegates. It looked as though this state- — 5 14 3 the per lexed woman estion, bu not. Ollowing is pa of the statement: ° = “While we regard ourselves as laymen in the full sense of the term and hold that the lay electorai conferences are entitled under the amendment of 1868-72 to choose their delegates — 21 only to the restrictions therein specified, we are unwilling to seem to insist upon personal rights which are in dispute. “The chief question at issue now seems to us to arise over the method to be nur- sued upon this. We recognize hones: dif- ferences of opinions among the most in- telligent and conscientious members. It seems to us that were the conference re- lieved from the tension which our pres- ence. occasions, it might speedily devise a plan of admission upon which the great majority of the members could agree. While we sincerely regret to disappoint the chivalrous champions of woman’s eiegi- bility, we cannot consent to a protracted debate over our personal eligibility to this conference with the alienations which we fear such a struggle might cause. We therefore cheerfully relinquish our seats in your honorable body and await such a set- tlement of a long vexed question as your wisdom may devise, confident that your action will embody the spirit of the golden rule. We desire to express our apprecia- tion of the courtesy shown us and assure you that we shall continue to pray and to labor for the prosperity of our Zion.“ The statement was presented by Jane F. Bashford, Lois 8. Parker and Ada Butcher. No sooner had the communication of the women delegates been offered than Dr. Kynett, Chairman of the Committee on the Pligibility, submitted the majority report of the committee. It briefly announced that the committee had decided that the women were entitled to seats in the convention. Several delegates arose to defend the re- port, but there was a universal demand for the minority report. It was a lengthy docu- ment and was read by Dr. T. B. Nealy of Philadelphia. It found that the challenge of the eligib’lity of the women whose names appear on the roll of the General Confer- ence is sustained, and that the election of women by lay electoral conferences are il- legal acts, and that to seat the claimants would tend to destroy. all respect for the constitution of the church and for the de- cisions and interpretations of the General Conference. EXPRESSMEN’S STRIKES, ö— — — Indications That It Will Spread Over a Large System. NEW YORK, May 4.—The initial step has been taken by employes of the Adams Ex- press Co. ina strike that may possibly affect the 10,000 men employed by that corporation. Eight porters in the immense freight house of the express company in Forty-ninth street, adjoining the New York Central freight yards, walked out in a body re- cently. The action of those men will be eupported by the company’s men in Wash- ington, D. C., where they will stop work, as the result of a heavy cut in wages and an increase of working hours. A committee representing clerks, drivers, porters and stablemen will at once call upon L. C. Weir, President of the company with a list of grievances. The committee- men will insiet on some assurance that their demands be attended to within a reasonable time or else a general stri will follow. The trouble is attributed by the men to President Weir, who has, they say, largely reduced the working forces and cut wn the wages, but failed to curtail the working hours.

DENVER, Colo., May 4.—The four lead- ing theaters last evening gave benefit per- formances for the Cripple Creek sufferers.

Two TEXANS FIGHT. One Brother-in-Law Dead and the Other Badly Wounded. AUSTIN, Tex., May 4.—Dempsey Brown and Jim Nixon, brothers-in-law, had a fight in midstream, in the Colorado River, at the old McGill ford, yesterday. Brown was shot dead and Nixon is in jail, seriously wounded. Brown was in a wagon with his family and Nixon’s wife, who separated from her hus- band about six months ago, and they were starting to the country to enjoy a Sunday's outing. Just after Brown had driven into the river Nixon rode up behind on a horse, and as he got alongside the wagon the shooting commenced. N Nixon used a six-shooter and Brown a shotgun. Brown was through the Rody and lived only a few minutes, but was kept from falling into the river by his wife, who nee him until she drove to the opposite e.

Montgomery was held over to await the action of the Grand-jury. The Mayberry girl is only 16 years old.

To the Editor of The Post-Dispatch. Various newspapers in this State in favor of Carlisle and the gold standard are con- soling themselves with an editorial of yours that Kentucky is a pivotal or doubtful State on the chief issue in American poli- tics. This is amusing to an old stager. I re- member in the decade of 1830 to 1840, when Jackson removed the deposits from the na- tional banks to the Sub-Treasury, hard times ensued from the combined influences of the money grinders. A $1,000 negro man sold at forced sale for $150 and all of our property in the same proportion. W. H. Harrison and John Tyler were elected over Van Buren and his ticket. The cry of the campaign was “$2 a day and roast beef for the laborer” (more decent than Mr. Car- lisle’s Chicago speech). Harrison died in a month after his inauguration and the Whig Congress passed a bill rechartering the national banks and sent it to President Ty- ler, who vetoed it, and in six months we had unusually good times. I was at the National Convention that nominated Douglass and Breckinridge at Baltimore in 1860, resulting in the war with its terrible results. I have hunted foxes over the place where Lincoln was born. I have presided as Circuit Judge over the county where his parents married, and I have seen the original marriage license. I for two ‘years was supreme vice-president, for four years supreme president of the Catholic Knights of America, and thousands in your State know me. The pronoun (I) appears too often, but you will excuse it. I saw J. G. Carlisle sworn in as a member of the Kentucky Leg- islature in 1853, the first office he ever held; have watched with pride and pleasure his promotions from that time until his entry as Secretary of the Treasury, up to which time he made a consistent, I am sure not an ignorant, record on financial legislation. There never was, is not now and never will be but two leading ideas in all the politics of earth. One is the love of liberty, fitly symbolized by the eagle. This sign we claim for the Democracy from Jefferson to this hour. Love of power, the other of the two, is properly symbolized by the serpent, bargain and intrigue,the burning of witches, the alien and sedition laws, and many other acts of tyranny, including the civil war. Mark the party that worships at the shrine. The newspapers all over the country seem to think Mr. Carlisle is the only man in Kentucky of any importance, and some have implored him and his sort to come and stump the State. It may be regarded as temerity, but I will guarantee that he will have company on the hustings. I wish to state right here that before the last Nation- al Convention I wrote to Mr. Cartisle, s0- ae ee to join shields with my name- sake, E. Russell of Massachusetts, as a candidate, Carlisle for President and the other for Vice-President. The Democratic r candidates for President, and that is the sole reason why the Republicans, aided by military force, have glected every Pres- ident since the war, all t their candidates being from the W eds elected as Democra 1 — ot Carlisle had — „ one and is it not fully arlisie’s only chance to as the nominee at St. ?
