NEW YORK, June 6.—Not satisfied with his sensational communication from Can- ton, O., to The World, James Creelman, the special staff correspondent, has fol- lowed up the attack in to-day’s World. He declares that the McKinley free silver letter which he unearthed and made pub- lic has had a bombshell effect in Ohio. But he now gives us a McKinley free l- ver speech, which was months and a half after the penning of the letter to the State League of Republican Clubs at Toledo, O. He quotes the follow- ing words of McKinley on that occasion from the verbatim reports of the Toledo Blade, a strong McKinley paper: “The gentleman Cleveland) who aa ge rc necessaries o e r ie Aotned with was unwilling that sugar, an essity to every d to the American peo n. — cheap merchan entails the beating down labor and 2 h ities of the masses. have . | „, delivered with the greatest care de- e body of Re- for r The Great Rush for the Silver Bandwagon. - eA Pa — —e wena rae seen : = * —— — ndent, having ques- of prominent Repub- the capital, then proceeds to give the public an explanation of the. under- ing among the McKinley people: he Press corresp tioned the sent:me he inner circles of McKinley Repub- licans here do not hesitate to assure those who have the right to ask what McKinlkey desires, that he wishes and will ask for a uncompromising declaration against free silver and in favor of sound money on The McKinley Republicans who vouch for this do not deal in unchangeable declarations and they bind them with their pledges. as gentlemen of “The financial question, so far as Mo- Kinley is concerned, does not cause to Republicans who are honest in their ex- It need not cause doubt No silver man need either himself or the people of his State into believing that any evasion is to be ex- ected from McKinley. e uncompromising.”’ He concluded his remarks with this apol- “This plain statement of facts -is made not in defense of McKinley’s money friends know that he needs no defense; but in fairness to those silver people who may be indulging in un- pression of views.

Byrnes does not propose to gratify his wish, at least that is the general under- standing. Col. Byrnes is not a Missouri Re- ublican and consequently need not quail fore the imperious disciple of harmony and regularity who presides over the Re- publican Mosque at Chestnut.

Byrnes has a large force to appoint, but he is not unaware of the fact that there are States and leaders other than Missouri and Filley. Besides Col. Byrnes pro es to defer in a large measure to the wishes of the National Committeemen and particularly those members of the sub- committee who made him Sergeant-at- Arms. R. C. Kerens is one of these gentle- men and he will be on hand when Col. Byrnes brings up the matter of convention offices at next Wednesday's meeting. Col, Kerens may not attempt to dictate to the Minnesota Colonel, but it is not un- likely that he will have iarge quantities of suggestions to offer as to the Missourians worthy the distinction of wearing badges laying authority in the convention It is not at all probable that Col.

THOMPSON YF OHIO. — >» Claims to Have No Fear as to the Re- sult of the Contests. Ex-Congrersman A. C. Thompson of Portsmouth, O., who with Gen. Grosvenor has.charge of the contests affecting Maj. McKinley’s interests, reached the city Sat- urday and, with his secretary, J. A. Olea ver, took: the room adjoining the quarters of Mr. Petry Heath, who directs the literary end of the McKinley bureau. . Judge Thompson has given much attention to these contests and will have a brief on each one for the National Committee when it gets together next Wednesday to make up the temporary roll of the convention. When a Post-Dispatch representative called on Judge Thompson Saturday he found that distinguished McKinleyite dis- cussing the reports of the projected coup of the wily boss of the Empire State. “I believe there is a good deal of false alarm in this,” was his comment. “Mr. Platt, of course, has a right to come here and make all the fight he wants to, but I do not see how he is going to injure Maj. McKinley’s interests. The National Committeg is composed of men who would not stoo anything like unfair play to any candidate, even if the anti-McKinley men did control. I have rea- son to believe, however, that a majority of the members are favorable to McKinley and consequently we do not look for any in- justice to our favorite and the favorite of the people. Just how long it will take the committee to determine these contests and ization more than I can on 5 “The committee will give all sides a fair hearing and Gen. Grosvenor and myself Will look after Maj. McKinley’s interests. Any work that would be attempted would be for a combination against McKinley and not for any particular candidate. It is Mc- Kinley against the field, and with about 600 oo instructed it is very difficult to see how anyone can doubt Maj. McKinley’s triumphant nomination.“ Regarding the New York delegation, Judge Thompson said: “I have not kept very close track of the delegates ther but McKinley will get at, least ten out o the seventy-two votes. e work of the Committee on Credentials may be greatly making up the roll for the temporary or- ganization. If the action on the contests ves general satisfaction they may not s fought out again before the Creden- tials Committee.“ The list of contests is being prepared for the committee and there ll be more leaders to discuss ‘them than the com- mittee may care to hear. Those attract- ing the most attention are in the Texas, South Carolina, 8 Mississippi, New York and Delaware delegations. All the seats are contested in Florida, all but two in Texas, three in Georgia, all in Mississippi, Arizona and Delaware, —. in Pennsylvania and six in New te: Gen. Grosvenor, who will be associated with Judge Thompson in the manage- ment of the contests, will arrive Sunday evening or Monday morning. TWELFTH DISTRICT FIGHT.

Chairman Taubeneck of the Populist Na- tional Committee is represented as being opposed to the scheme to have the party in- dorse the Chicago platform, but the leading representatives of the party, here say that the chairman is simply blind to at is coming. The free ver managers have figured out that 75 per cent of the Populists in the State were formerly in the mo- cratic party and left because they could not indorse its position on the money question, Free silver Democrats estimate that the adoption of a free silver platform in the State means the return to the party of about 18,000 men who have been voting the Populist ticket. : he Hon. Charles W. Cooper presided last —— at the free silver meeting at En- glish’s Opera House. The theater was filled with an enthusiastic crowd of the friends of the white metal, with a sprinkling of gold parently depressed on ac- count. of the difference between gold and silver enthusiasm in Indiana. B. F. Shively of South Bend and John G. Shanklin of Evansville, who arrived in the city during fhe afternoon, both delivered stirring speeches containing vigorous and convinc- ing arguments in favor of the restoration of silver as a money metal. The meeting was the most notable political gathering that has beon held here this year. THE COLISEUM. ‘Where the National Democratic Con- vention ‘Will Be Held.

Special to The Post-Dispatch.. WASHINGTON, June 6.—The silver Re- publicans in the Senate have been con- ferring with the Democrats, who agree with them that there is but one issue in the com- ing campaign. There is a distinct under- standing between the silver Republicans and the silver Democrats of the Senate as to the course that shall be pursued by the former at the St. Louis convention. One of the most prominent and active Silver e Louis convention shall straddle the silver question if our votes can prevent it.

It was decided at a meeting of the Mer- chants’ Exchange Relief Committee and the chairmen of the sub-stations Saturday at- ternoon to close the district relief stations permanently Saturday afternoon. : The work of relief will be continued by the central organization. The stricken district will be divided into small territories for a complete house to house’ canvass. The St. Vincent de Paul stations may be continued, but independently. Even with the district stations closed much will remain to be done in the work of relief. Perhaps the most important and extensive part of the work is to come. The district stations have served to provide for the immediate wants of the sufferers. Applicants have been given food and clothing, perhaps enough to last them two weeks. hen the needy families have ex- hausted these supplies, it will be necessary to furnish them with more and in many cases to carry them for several months. Mr. Walter Vrooman, in charge of relief headquarters in room 420 Merchants’ Ex- change Building, estimates that there will be 2.200 families to be maintained by the Relief Committee. They have been fur- nished with provisiong to the extent of about $4 each. It is thought that at least $25 will be necessary for each family. This will alone require $62,500 additional to what has already been used. In addition to cash expenditures, esti- mated by Dr. W. W. Boyd-at $35,000, there are a large number of outstanding orders issued from the district stations, especially from that in charge of the United Hebrew Society. It is thought that $15,000 will cover all these orders. If these estimates are cofrect, the relief fund will have been diminished by $50,000 when the outstanding orders have been paid. In addition to the families which will have to be carried until supported by their own resources, there is another class of sufferers which will prove an even more serious drain upon the fund. These are the widows and aged, whose every source of ewe has been swept away by the tor- nado. a a One case in point is that of a widow dependent, for support upon the rent of houses wHich were utterly destroyed dur- ing the disaster. She will have to be helped or starve. Another case is that of an ojd woman who made her living at the wash- tub, eking out a scant subsistence. She “had the use of a little shanty rent free. It was ‘wiped out by the tornado, and she her- self was injured so seriously that she can no longer labor... Such cases are exceeding- ly numerous on the books of the relief com- ittee, Still another claes to be provided for are those whose friends have helped thém until now, but who must soon come forward for assistance from the Relief Fund or accept it at the hands of the canvassers who are to continue at. work. The heads of the various district stations ‘are upon the necessity for as much “money as can be placed at their disposal. Tt had been considered by the Merchants’ Exchange Executive Committee that some- ging would remain of the general relief plishe d. On the contrary it is the belief of those coming in direct contact with the sufferers that ev cent of the almost $200,000 raised ecutive pa at the urgent instance of Dr. W. W. Boyd, issued Friday afternoon the following call: “Citizens of St. Louis having so nobly and spontaneously undertaken to relie¥e the storm sufferers of our city, must aged re- newed and enthusthstic efforts in this direc- tion, for it is becoming more manifest each day that the eppalling loss to property and consequent sufferin or even estimated immediately after the storm.

Six thousand circulars will have been sent out to prominent citizens and business houses by the Emergency Loan Fund Com- mittee by Saturday night. They call atten- tion to the immediate need for subscriptions to the fund in order that property owners who have suffered loss may be relieved at once. Members of the committee in charge of the work believe that the responses to this circular will immediate and heavy and that in less than ten days at the least $250,000 will be subscribed. Copies of the plan and the appeal have been sent to every minister in the city with the request that he make the announce- ment Sanday from the pulpit with a strong personal appes A members of the congre- gation to su . As yet there has been no canvass of any kind made for subscriptions, but up to Bat- urd noon the volunta subscriptions a ssd to 385,000. By Monday morning it is believed that $100,000 will be in. It will be necessary to raise not less than $250,000, as present subscriptions have ‘been taken on that condition. Less than that amount would not suffice to furnish relief to enough persons. ” ante “Ags an incentive to subscriptions one of the committee to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “I will say that this fund will be managed on strict business principles. It is not the intention to lend money to people whose homes are already mortgaged to the full value. We @will make no loans except where there is safe margin, and no loan will be mad@gexcept to persons who can furnish evi ce of aoed char- acter and honesty. The money will be re- paid to our association after the first three months in monthly payments with interest at 4 per cent. This money will be deposited with some trust company, which will pay,3 per cent on current de- posits and distributed among subscribers uarterly. We believe that the 4 per cent rom the borrowers and the 3 per cent from the trust companies will recoup any losses that may occur and possibly may in the end pay a small interest on the loan to subscribers. “Prompt response to this appeal for aid will do more to place St. Louis before the country dn the light of a solid, substantial, self-sustaining city, than 1 else we could do. It will show that there is a bond of friendship and fraternity between the rich and the r of the city that will make this eventually the greatest city on the continent.” The committee expects that most of the loans made will be small, and in the eo borhood of $200 or $300, and none over $2,000. Members of the committee have been ap- proached by a large number of sufferers since Wednesday with appeals for aid. Not- withstanding the urgency: of their needs, nothing can done for them until the sum of $250, has been raised. POST-DISPATCH RELIEF FUND.

RELIEF WORK EXPENSIVE. & Fund Sufficient for Present Emergen- cies, but the Scope of the Work Is Enlarging. Relief headquarters at the Library build- ing in East St. Louis presented the usu1i busy appearance Saturday morning. Surf- ferers from all parts of the city came to the building in search of food, clothing and other assistance. The ladies cf the Relief Committee were present, as were also Messrs. Bartholomew and Brown, and the applicants for charity vere sent away with large bundles of supplies. The Executive Committee met Fridays evening and authorized Mayor Bader to is- sue an appeal to the sister cities of IIII- nois, ask'ng for contributions to the fund which it is Rnown will not more than suf- fice for the prysent emergency, and at the rate assistance is called for, would not last longer than ten — * Mayor Bader will also on Saturday ap- point a committee of six men to make an exact canvass of the city and learn the precise condition of things. These can- vassers will begin their work no later than Monday and it is thought will materially assis> in systematizing the relief. The work of rebuilding some of the blown-down buildings of the poor people will also be commenced next. week, provid- ing the amount of funds on hand will justify such a procedure. This work is left in the hands of Thomas L. Fekete and he will report on its feasibility as soon as possible. The Executive Committee after Saturday 2 hold but one meeting daily, and that a p. m. The work of reconstructing damaged houses is going on all over the city with as much rapidity as could be expected. V. W. Fischer of the Bridge Electric Line states that cars will be running on the bridge not later than Tuesday next. In East St. Louis cars are running in all parts of the city, excepting the branch leading to the rolling mills. This is also being placed in order and Supt. Harold says the entire line will be in good shape in an- other week. Sunday Co. D of Belleville will give an exhibition drill, which is expected to in- terest hundreds of citizens and sight-seers. The militia will, according to the opinion of Maj. Bennett, depart for their homes no later than Tuesday. Services will be held in all the churches to-morrow, with the possible 8 of St. Mary's, which was more badly amaged than any of them, the spire having crashed through the roof. Chief Purdy, M. F. Zent and five assist- ants are still working on an inspection of the buildings of th city as to thir safety, and will have a report ready on this work in a short time. The contract for repairing the roof of the 2 Library has been let to John Symonds The total subscription list for the relief of the sufferers amounts to $36,368.21, accordin to the report of Treasurer Paul W.

The only objection the Post-Dispatch can see to the extra session is its cost. This need not be great if the work is limited to drafting the amendment to be submitted to the vote of the people. A session of twenty-four hours will suf- fice for that, as a draft of the amendment will no doubt be ready for submission as soon as the Legislature is organized. In view of the great calamity that has be- fallen St. Louis, the people of the State will not begrudge the cost of a legisla- tive session of one, two 0! or three days. IT WENT WITH 1 THE TIDE. The expected has happened and Finis E. Downing gives way to John I. Rinaker as Congressman from the Jacksonville district of Illinois.

It is no disparagement of Mr. Downing to say that he went down before the same force that overbore such men as Fithian, Williams and Springer in districts strongly Democratic under ordi- nary conditions. , This year, with a silver candidate and platform, all the Illinois districts lost, to the Democrats last year will be regained. TO-MORROW’S POST-DISPATCH. To-morrow’s Post-Dispatch will pre- sent the usual weekly feast of the good things in reading matter and pictures to ite many thousands of readers through- out the South and Southwest. The bill of fare is quite too long to give in full, but a few specimen dishes are here se- lected as samples: Youth and Beauty on the Wheel—A beautiful half-page picture by Russell, showing the animated scene at the -Lin- dell boulevard entrance to Fetest Park on Sunday afternoons. * of the Tornado The many queer Itrated by Rusgell..

But it is impossible to give even a synopsis of what to-morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch will contain.

The Parisian Death Penalty. From Col. Watterson’s Paris Letter. There is no mawkish sentiment in Parisian gayety, nor any morality that takes a sub- limated view of mundane affairs. One would say that, as to the operations of Nature, the Latin has no delicacy. Touch- ing the relations of men and women his code is very simple. For lawless love his sym- pathy is ready and real. But it is the one thing that must be kept out of sight, that must not be found out; the cmd being death. Webster Davis Oer Young. From the Kansas City Star, June 2. According to the records in the United States Treasury Department office at Wash- ington, Webster Davis was 3% years old yes- terday, and, in consequence would not be eligible to be Governor of Missouri if elected this fall. The State constitution provides that the Governor must be 35 years old. Cheap and Plentiful Titles. From Col. Watterson’s Paris Letter. Thank your stars, dear sir, and you, madame, that you were not born in Eu- rope and that you did not inherit a tille, for over here, even such titles as they have, are as plentiful and as cheap as blackberries, signifying just nothing at all, Patriotism Overdone.

Broadhead until 1878, when the firm of Overall & Judson was formed. This partnership continued for five years, when it was dissolved. Col. Overall has practiced alone since that time. He was Vice-President of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners for four years. He is a member of several of the local clubs and secret societies. MEN OF MARK. Justin McCarthy has received upward of $75,000 from the sale of his History of Our Own Times,” and has spent most of it in advancing the cause of Ireland. Judge Gregorowski, the Orange Free State magistrate who tried and pronounced sentence on the Transvaal conspirators, is of Polish origin, 39 years of age, and studied law at Gray’s Inn in London. “Our finest English historian in paint, as he has been in black and white’’—that is what a London critic calls the American artist, Edwin Abbey.

The paragraph leads the “Staatsbuerger Zelt- ung” to say that the greatest sleeper of our time is a French woman, Margareta. yenvay, who has been asleep for sey- enteen years in Thenelles, Department of Aisne.” When Mme, Minnie Hauk, the original Carmen in London, returned the other day from Egypt to Rome, she found a pretty present awaiting her from the Queen of Italy.

It is true that experience proves 15% to 1 to be the best ratio, but we have. already fought it out on 16 to 1, and any compromise with the gold standard men will d‘sgust the people, who have, regardless of party, shown how deeply they are disgusted with thimble- rigging politics. If the Democratic party would survive the coming election, its platform must declare in unmistakable language for 16 to 1. in obedience to the demand which their over- whelming votes have sent up. It is strange that Gov. Altgeld does not eee that his course is just what the gold standard papers, such as the St: Louis Re- public, demand or encourage, for they know it means the defeat of free and unlimited coinage of silver at any ratio. W. M. FISHBACK. Fort Smith, Ark. , June 4, | ILLINOIS POLITICS. The Flora Democrat thinks Lawyer and Teacher Holly Dillman good material for State’s Attorney. DuQuoin is considered lucky in securing both the Democratic and Republican Con- gressional conventions, Samuel H.

Missouri is to be unusually favored by the Populists in that the citizens of this State are to be given an opportunity to hear the chief oratorical drawing card of the party, “Cyclone” Davis. Davis will speak before nearly all the Congressional conventions to be held duri the next two weeks, the first of which me at St. Joseph, in the Fourth District, Satur- e, more than any other one man, is responsi ble for the political prominence of the People's party in Texas to-day.

At 4o’clock this afternoon 180 trained athletes ‘from all parts of the West will leave the Blair monument on their twenty- mile chase after fame, hard knocks and $2,000 worth of prises.

There was a hegira of the visiting cyclists to the tornado-stricken district this morn- ing. When the Chicago people got into town the first thing they did was to run around Union Station looking for the de- vastated” city. They expected to see the entire city in ruins. Several St. Louls cyclists took them in hand this morning and rode them over the storm-stricken district. As the ruing have been 8 t all cleared away there was but little left for them to see. After they got through with South St. Louis they rode to the park and went over the course. Some of them did hot like Nig- ger Hill a bit. There are few hills around hicago and they were not so taken with Wilson's chances when they climbed the heart-breaker, They expressed themselves as much pleased with the course and the arrange- ments made by the Race Committee.

The duel be- ween this pair should be eresting. Chief of Checkers Morgan will have forty assistants. It will be hard to beat this lot out of a lap. A new rulé added last night is important to contestants. It is as follows: Any con- testant dropping back a lap for the purpose of pacing or otherwise will be considered out of the race, and any contestant accept- ing such place will be disqualified from re- ceiving a prize. Century ys think that W. J. Rodgers = come very near winning the first place prize. Charley Knower is conceded to have a good chance with 4:30 to help him. T. A. King on the 6: 0 mark is considered Tommy Dempsey, 6:30, has more than a good chance. The Centuries think that they will make the best showing of any St. Louis Club in the race. Base Ball Notes. Poor Browns! Even the umpire conspires to down them. Henderson must haye been terrible at New York yesterday. When Roger Con- nor kicks hard the umpire must be rotten, indeed. It wag the first time in a career of over twenty years on the diamond that Roger Connor was threatened with being — out of the game. He never kicks un- ess the decision is absolutely rotten.“ Donahue is nto good ball under ex- ceedingly disadvantageous circumstances.

Besides Breitenstein is too proud to allow himself to be hammered all over the lot, and if he could possibly prevent it he would, There are times when the best of them are out of form, and this must be Breit's turn to have his nose held against the grindstone. Meyers is 8 up his end wonderfully. Many people predicted that he would fall down on the Eastern trip, but he seems to hold up his end in presty good shape. He is hitting hard and fielding well Eastern scribes say the Browns are badly disorganized. This can hardly be true. Every man on the team would break a leg to do Roger a favor. What is the matter with the right field? Can’t Parrott ori Douglas fill the bill? Cincinnati's showing in the East is the wonder of the base ball year. But the trip is not half over. Poor old Pittsburg. Her only pitcher, Killen, shows signs of making his annual “fall down.“ Philadelphia, a team that can’t hit left-handers, batted him for eight- een hits yesterday.

They Had Helped Themselves to Drugs From the Alms House. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 6.—The Medical So- ciety was thrown into a flutter of excite- ment by the arrest of Drs. D. J. Hamburg, . W. Estler and J. K. Conklin of the resi- dent medical staff of the City Almshouse. The young sawbones were arrested upon warrants charging them with having taken drugs to the value of $430 from the Alms- house store-room. J. W. Terry, Superintendent of the Alms- house, says his suspicions were aroused three days after he assumed the office, on Nov. ll. He began a still hunt on his own account and about the middle of April was certain that the city’s medical mi suppl es were being used without authority 7. certain doctors resident on the island. short time ago he felt so sure of his — icions that he laid the matter before Dr. rles . Bruce, Superintend of Phy clans, Dr. Bruce made a formal demand for the drugs, after they had been ts vely lo- cated in the young men’s ks. The young men took their arrest very coolly, and declared that th believed they had done nothing wrong, it the custom for members of the resident st to appropriate such drugs as they wanted as a perquisite. Commissioner Croft took a different view of the case and decided that the city was not in the perquisite business. Terry says he believes the resident doctors have been helping themselves to medical supplies for years. The physicians’ were held in each, It is said ome arrests will follow.

NEW YORK, June 6—The Herald this morning says: What looks like a powder trust is now in operation, backed by many millions of dollars and virtually controlled which will fix the price of that commodity. The three companies are the Laflin & Rand Pow- der Co., the Hazard Powder Co. and the Dnpont-De Nemours Co., all of this city. As a result of the combination the price of rifle powder or what is called sporting powder has advanced from $3.25 for a keg weighing twenty-five pounds to $4, while blasting powder has advanced from 22 to $2.50 a keg. The schedule for other grades has been correspondingly advanced. The new order went into effect on June 1. Although the officials of the companies way there was no agreement between them, the fact that prices are advanced on the same day to the same figures might seem to indicate otherwise. The Phoenix Powder Co. is one of the first 4 twenty smaller companies to surrender to the big concerns. he Phoe- nix was named as the next largest com- gene to those that have advanced prices. ts stock is almost entirely owned by the Lafiin & Rand Co., and its present offi- cers are to be replaced by others named by end of May, and gave as a reason that the company could not stand out against the 2 ination of the three larger compan- os. We have had all we could do to make ends meet since the company was organ- ized in 1888," he said, and this latest move of the trust has been too much for us.“ The other officials were reticent about the matter of a trust having been formed, but. talked W ot the advance in the prices of 22 7 * professed to having been osing money for the last three or four years Owing to a falling off in prices.

A. Haskell, President of the Laflin & Rand Co., said, in effect, the same thing and that now the company proposed to man- ufacture powder at a p „We have several million dollars invest- ed,“ he said, “and we were forced to raise the price.“ Do not these three companies practically control the output?” es, practically; that is about so,” he re- plied. “And will the smaller manufacturers be re * compete with you in the schedule of es don't think they will very long,” he re- lied, tly - MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NOTES.

The Neighbors Very Much Excited and for a While Dire Threats Were Made. — Henry Stein, a pale, blond young fellow of cruel proclivities, will not be tried for murder on account of the death of his 5 months old child, because Coroner Camp- bell of East St. Louis and a jury decided Saturday morning that the little one died of intermittent fever. But this verdict will not let Stein out of the East St. Louis Jail, for he was ar- rested on Friday evening for his harsh treatment of his child and he must answer to that charge. Coroner Campbell made a post mortem examina‘ion of the infant girl Saturday morning to learn whether it had not met a violent death, as it was alleged, at the hands of its cruel father. Dr. Campbell found no marks on e y, and then he empaneled a jury % hold an inquest. The investigation took place in the house of the Steins, at Fisk and Galveston ave- nues. Henry Burgdorf, brother-in-law of Stein, and Mrs. McCoy, who lives with the Steins, testified that they saw Stein slap the baby last Monday. The mother testified in defense of her husband and alleged th the baby had had intermittent fever fof several weeks. The jurymen were impressed with the Coroner’s statement as to the lack of signs of violence, and they returned a verdict to the effect that death was due to intermittent fever. | When the news spread through Denver- side Friday evening that Stein’s baby was dead and that he had beaten it while he was in a drunken frenzy, the p@pple be- came excited and made dire threa®. Stein was hustled off to the police station and his wife was hurried after him, for he had accused her of beating the child. The story current was that Stein returned from a night’s carousal Friday — and went to bed. His sick baby crawle over to him to be petted and he struck it savagely. It was said, too, that when his wife protested he beat-her also. The testimony of Be Coy was to tne effect that the cruel treat- ment occurred Monday. Dr. Campbell said after the inquest that while he believed that the baby had been struck he did not believe that the blows killed it, and by the verdict of the jury he was done with the case. * Stein’s contradictory stories of what he did to his child do not add confirmation to the Coroner's verdict. He said when first arrested that his wife had beaten it. Satur- day “yo wey | he told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that he rolled on the baby while he was asleep Wednesday — ; The Steins were married at Central Sta- tion about a year ago. Mrs. Stein was a Miss Burgdorf. Both her father and mother met tragic deaths two years ago. The fath- er was killed by falling from his buggy on the Eads bridge, where his horse become frightened at a passing tralg. The mother was killed in a runaway while returning from a celebration of the French Fete at yot’s Grove. 7 Following Suit. From Vanity.

Treatment for an Electric Shock. Dr. D’Arsonville of Paris, who has made a special study of methods of treating per- sons injured by electric shocks, proposes the following formula: The person so dis- abled should be treated like one drowned; in other words, he should be laid on his back and artificial respiration performed in the way that is ordinarily prescribed. Some further practical advice, however, is given to those who are called at once do the scene of the accident, and at the time when the person is perhaps still in contact with the wires. Of course, *he first thing to be done is to stop the current or break the contact. In doing the latter one should not douch the victim on the face or hands, or any naked part of the body. It is better to 1 [ by the coat tails or to throw a blanKet over him and pull him by mis. Nothing that is wet should be thrown upon him, and if his clothes are wet the hands should not be put in contact with them. A lece of dry wood can be placed under the ody, and he can then be lifted. The fur- ther treatment of the case is the familiar one applied in attempting to restore the drowned.

OFFERS A THREE-CENT FARE. Promoter Sweeney’s Bait to the Coun- cil for a Franchise. ™ The public hearing before the *Council ‘Committee on Railroads Friday afternoon, just prior to the session of that body, was an unusally interesting one. Promoter Sweeney of the City Central Railway line had his plans well arranged to make à se- rlous effort in behalf of his scheme, and back of him were a number of the leading representatives of several improvement as- _gociations to whom the committee listened with close attention. Col. John Scullin of the Union Depot line has marshaled the opposition and was ably _@eeconded by Col. Robert McCulloch of the dad w and Cass avenue lines and Col. reen of the Fourth and Arsenal tet Une. Mr. Sweeney had a big mag spread before the committee to show thé route of his road and opened the argument Tor it by an earnest speech in which he not the “grasping monopolies, as termed the other street railways tha. ve “the city by the throat, and the peopie at their mercy.” He grew eloquently in- in repelling the insinuation that his ' ge was a ulative one, or that ne Was an interloper. : He the committee could require any le cash or bonded guarantve and would within an hour place ° * ore | for itself ion of $10,000 to this to say: t me a franchise for tens, feb: K 0 12 A Cas On tornado aufeave tendance on that 3 been estimated found a letter written in German and ad- ressed Martin Greiner of 1626 South Four- teenth street.

The young man named Greiner is su eg to have an uncle holding a foremanship in the Pullman car shops here and is said also to . a sister named Marie residing in th’‘s city. ‘ The body of the young man who was drowned has not been recovered. SOME MORE NEW LAW. Judge Murphy’s Remarkable Remarks in James Bell’s Case. “Even if I thought you were guilty I would discharge you, because the officer shot you.” | §o saying, Judge David Murphy of the Court of Criminal Correction made a few scratches on his docket and discharged Pris- oner James Bell, who had been arraigned on a charge of — larceny. . Bell was charged with stealing $75 worth — clothing from a hous¢g near Union Sta- tion. : Private Watchman B. P. Gibbs saw him 8 and punctured his cuticle with a ullet. When this fa was developed at the hearing Judge M hy expressed regret that Gibbs was not the defendant and dis- char ‘the duwntrodden Mr. Bell. “What do you think of Judge Murphy’s action?“ was ask@@ of Chief Harrigan Sat- urday morning by a Post-Dispatch reporter. Chief Harrigan sneered. What is the use of thinking about any- thing Murphy does?“ he asked in return. His action was outrageous. There is no ‘warrant in law for such a proceeding that I know of except in Murphy's mind.“ READY FOR THE DEDICATION. - Convention Auditorium Celebration on June 10.

The op- ponents of Mr. Stark are citing this fact and the demand has gone up for the elec- tion of an attorney not identified with Board factions. They also call attention to Stark’s atti- tude during the recent School Board trou- bles. It was on his advice that the Repub- ican majority originally selected a list of judges, and clerks for the Tenth.. Distr‘ct election which resulted in a mandamus from the Supreme Court and the punishment of the ringsters for disobeying it. Before that he. advised the ¢ontrolling faction in the old Board that they need nold no election, but had power. to perpetuate themselves in office. Several citizens applied to the Su- preme Court to compel the holding of elec- tion, and Mr. Stark was overruled. Then Mr. Stark advised thé ringsters that they were the sole judges of the qualifica- tions of judges and clerks for the Tenth Dis- trict election, independent of the State law, and could appoint whom they pleased. On this advice a list of Republicans was appointed and once more Mr. Stark was overruled by the Supreme Court. When the ringsters decided to ignore the highest tribu- nal of the State, Mr. Stark warned them of the consequences then, and as the attorney of the individual lawbreakers, helped to de- fend them before the Supreme Court for ignoring his warning. These circumstances are being exploited by persons opposed to Mr. Stark’s re-elec- tion and they are also calling attention to Mr. Stark’s affidavit filed in the contempt proceedings in which he tried to shoulder the blame attaching to the ringsters for their disobedience, Another point made by Mr. Stark's oppo- nents is his attempt to collect a $5,000 fee, additional to his large salary, from the board, for his efforts in securing favorable legislation for the board when the me-r- chants’ license tax enactment was mending in the State Legislature 2 These circumstances, together with the not that Mr. Stark has drawn the liberal salary of School Board Attorney for six years, constitute the case against uin. His opponents are trying to ascertain what interest Col. Ed Butler can have in the elec- tion of a School Board attorney. It was stated Saturdav that Col. Butler was using his influence in behalf of Mr. Stark. The election of an attorney is the princi- pe business to come before the board next uesday.

Return to the order of the Supreme Court was also being circu- rector Rebenack, but Afterward Davidson met an Alton lawyer, to whom he repeated the tale of woe. This time his wife was not dead, but was badl injured and was in a St. Louis hospital. Davidson said he was on his way to Quincy, but lacked $1.50 of having enough money to get there. The lawyer gave h the money and the lawyer-preacher departed on his way. Davidson was first known in Venice last September, when he established héadquar- ters at Sol Hirt’s City Hotel and had his office in the barroom. He circulated a peti- tion and was einted assistant prosecut- ing attorney o dison County. His suc- cess as u lawyer Was not brilliant and after collecting a $117 Ful for a couple of painters he left for Collinsville, where the painters at Se him ‘and’secured a part of the col- ection. . While in Venice Davidson was married. His wife was a spirit medium. She would hold seances and cause the tables to dance and receive communications from departed spirits. Sometimes she would go into a tranée and the services of Dr. Hall would be required to revive her. Doctor“ Hall came from Springfield. He was a spiritualist, but no N an. Hall gained the favor of some Venice liticlans and was elected Police Magistrate last April, Davidson hastened back to Venice to prac- tice in his friend’s court, but Hall never qualified. About this time Davidson became a regular attendant at religious services and preached a few times. A month ago David- son left for St. Louis. It is said he was a whisky drummer before he came to Venice. Acquaintances of Davidson in Venice think he is now with his father, a Methodist preacher, at the Soldiers’ Home at Quincy. They think he “‘disappeared’’ in order that 1e might arouse the sympathy of the church people in St. Louis and have a liberal dona- tion raised for his wife.
