Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 2.—The World's special staff correspondent, Mr. James Creelman, furnishes a lengthy interview with Horace Boles this morning from Waterloo, Io. Mr. Creelman sums up the Governor's character and personality and then quotes him on the leading issues: - “It is too late,” said Mr. Boles, too late for any compromise on the moncy question in the Democratic party. Four years ago it was in the power of Presi- dent Cleveland to have modified the pro- gramme of the silver men, for then the public mind was in a much less settled con- dition respécting the monetary. standard than it is to-day, and men had not formed or expressed such definite opinions nor taken such a definite stand. So at that time almost any reasonable plan which looked to the ultimate re-establishment of bimetallism would have secured the sup- port of the silver men. „But the Administration, in the very face of the constitution, took such a decided stand against the remonetization of silver that the convictions of all silver men were fixed, and all thought of compromise was dropped. I have always been in favor of the restoration of silver as redemption EX-GOVERNOR HORACE F. BOTH. money. There never was a time in my life when I did not believe in it. For a long time I tried to find a way by which is could be brought about without disrupt- ing my party and in the search I: ex- pressed many views that seém to differ when they are laid side by side. By de- 8, yes, by degrees, I have been driven o the unqualified ‘opinion that there is no other way of restoring silver to its con- stitutional status than by an act provid- ing for the coinage of silver at the regular | ratio of 16 to 1. I think we now have a simple choice between free silver at that ratio and a single gold standard for all to come,” “I know there is little hope for us in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mas- Sachusetts and other Eastern States,“ said Mr. Boies, “but we will carry all the Southern States with the exception of erhaps West Virginia, to- er with all the States west of the issouri, and east of the Missouri we will * carry Towa, Illinois, Indiana and Michi- gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota being debat- able ground. I know we've got to face in struggie many of the men who have hitherto held the leadership of: the mo- tic party, but we have a cause that will arouse the personal enthusiasm of the mers to a degree never before witnessed this country. The influential press. is Against us, but the agricultural masses Are with us. This is a square fight be- tween the East and the united West and South. I account for the wide difference in views largely on the ground that the money interests of the two sections are not identical. The East is a money lend- er, while the West is a borrower. The East is a consumer, while the West is a ucer.“ . Mr. Boles, you call yourself a rat and so do I,” I said to him; et what you propose seems to, me to simply a struggle of debtors ainst creditors. Cheaper money will enable the ti and South to pay their Eastern ‘Oreditors on what looks like a basis of os 2 This is a question involving “You cannot raise that cry of re udiation us, answered Mr. Boles, for ev- the country believes in the letter and spirit of our and private contracts.

Securities in bonds. Every debt contracted in the United State or for the United States, is yable in gold or silver. No one, not even the Séc- retary of the Treasury, nor the President, has; any power to change the terms of the written contracts. Our bonds and our greenbacks on their face provide for their redemption’ in coin. Congress has in the most marked manner declared by its ‘vote that coin does not mean gold alone. It is the Republican party and not the Democratic party which now proposes to violate both the letter and spirit of our financial obligations. The Republican arty insists that the contract to y in th gold and silver shall be payable only in gold. In other words, the whole debt of the country, public and private, is to be suddenly increased to the extent that gold has appreciated and silver has depreciated. The cry of repudiation can misiead nobody in the West and Squth. I say that the for- eign debt of the people of the United States can never be discharged in gold. If we go on the gold basis that debt must be car- ried on into ager. silver is remonetized its commercial value will rise, and the commercial value of gold will fall till a common level is reached, a level at which the two metals will e- main practically at par. “tT can understand your proposition to ay your debts in cheap money, Mr. Boies,” f said, ‘but I do not believe that the people generally perceive how the working masses are to be benefited with respect to wages by a law which makes 50 cents worth of silver a dollar with full legal tender qual- ity. The farmer in Maine, who doubled the bulk of his maple sap by adding water to it had to boil it twice as long, and got no more sugar in the end.’ The old man smiled and shook his head. “The experience of all ages shows that a contracted currency contracts business, he said.. The displacement of one-half of the currency displaces one-half of the ac- tivities of the people. There is not the slightest danger that the opening of our mints to the free coinage of silver will give us too much real money, andI want to say, too, that I would retire the National banks before I would touch the greenbacks. Mr. Cleveland has been surrounded by Eastern men who have influenced his views. These men have represented only the interests of Wall street. I never believed Mr. Cleveland to be corrupt, nor have I ever believed that corrupt influences would reach him. But he seems to have known little about the real ‘condition of the agricultural States, and has reached erroneous conclusions on this financial question. It is entirely cer- tain that Secretary Carlisle’s opinions have undergone a radical change, the result of his connection with Mr. Cleveland, and the fact that while in office he has been surrounded by Wall street influences. The condition of. the farmers in the North- western States is absolutely unendurable. I say this, knowing the facts. I have my- self in this State two farms paid for large- ly with money I have earned as a lawyer. ne is a farm with 2,500 acres and the other contains 1,000 acres. With the pres- ent price of labor and the present price paid for. farm products no man in the world could. take either of these farms, even if I should present him with the ground, and make a dollar out of it. I méan, of course, that he could not 0 farm and pay interest on money inves in the equipment and wages for labor out of the income he would get by selling the products. A farmer who works himself, and is as- sisted by the labor of sons and daughters, may make a small farm pay. But no farm is profitable when conducted on the basis of a manufacturing business. “Cheap and abundant money is the only remedy for this intolerant state of things.” “But,” I argued, “you speak as though all the toilers were in the West and South engaged in agriculture. What do you sa of the 8,000,000 million persons in New Yor State alone?’’ “We have room out here for more than 8,000,000 in less territory,“ replied Mr. Boies. “But we can never fill it with 8,000 under our present conditions. The West has got to stop growing unless there is relief. The East has controlled Congress for its own ends until now.”’ J hardly think the facts will bear you out in that,“ I replied. I would like you to name a single West- ern measure of importance enact oy Con- gress in recent years,“ observed Mr. Boles. “I can name two,“ I replied. The inter- state commerce act and the income tax AW.“ That is quite true. I had for the mo- ment forgotten. But the whole trend of our national ‘legislation has been to increage debts and to decrease the income of debtors. This wien’ for the restoration of silver to its rightful place in gur money system will go on regardless of this election. If the free silver men are defeated they will continue the fight until they succeed. If after the free silvermen suceecd the fears of the gold standard men are realized, of course the struggle would be to get back to the gold standard which the present Adminis- tration has endeavored to establish. But if experience should prove that the free silver men were right, that would settle it. I believe that the Republican party is sim- ly hunting for votes among its natural al- ies. That is the meaning of its declara- tion in favor of gold monometallism. It is a mistake to imagine that the nomination of Mr. McKinley will make the tariff the paramount issue in ths cam . The one supreme issue is the money question, and on that the Democratic party will elect the next President unless the friends of silver are foolish enough to divide and put two tickets in the field. The Populists should support the Democratic candidate on a free silver platform.”’ : I have just learned that,. only a few days ago, Secretary Carlisle wrote to an editor i a, asking for copies of letters on the réiation of free silver to wages written by Mr. Boles. Mr. Carlisle is evidently get- ting ready for the fight. : BANK ROBBERS’ TUNNEL. Burglars Were Preparing to Loot the Los Angeles First National.

SHEPARD INDE BUT BROKE FROM THE POL.CE- MAN AND ESCAPED BY FLIGHT. CAPT. YOUNG INVESTIGATING. Well Authenticated Report That the Murderer Was Caught Thursday at Ninth and Allen Avenue. Noble Shepard, the escaped double murder- er, was seen at Ninth street and Allen ave- nue, Thursday, by a patrolman of the Ee-- ond District Station, and was placed under arrest, and that while on the way to the station-house the murderer escaped. One informant, whose name cannot be used, goes so far as to describe the arrest and second escape of Shepard. The Police Department neither affirms nor denies dhe story, preferring to say nothing about the matter. Capt. Young of the Second District Sta- tion was consulted over #he telephone about the rumor. He said: ‘“‘Hem, well; I —; say, suppos- ing you call me up about 4 o’clock this afternoon, and then I can talk to vou.“ But, Captain, den’t you know anything about it now?” „Well, I am investigating it.“ ‘ „Mell, what do you know about it now?“ “I. can tell you a great deal more this afternoon.“ But I wish to know all you know about it now.“ Call me up late this afternoon; by.“ and the Captain dropped the The gentleman who was thé reporter's informant was at the Second District Po- lice Station when the “report of the affair Was made there. Substantially the report was that at 4 o' lock Thursday morning the policeman who patrols the beat which embraces the intersection of Ninth street and Allen ave- nues, saw a man come out of the saloon near there, carrying in one hand a mundle wrapped in a red bandana handkerchief. He recognized um- as the much wanted Noble Shepard, ud called to him to halt. The man stopped and the polficéman caught hold of his shoulder and addressed him as Shepard. ‘I’m not Noble Shepard,” replied the prisoner. “Yes you are; I know you,” and the pa- trolman started him towards a telephone box to call the patrol wagon. While the policeman was calling for the wagon the prisoner broke away and ran. The officer fired five shots at him and chased him five blocks, but the man got away by running through yards and alleys until the patrolman was lost. As published in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, the police received a tip to the effect that Shepard was concealed in the home of Jere- miah Browner, at 705 Pestalozzi street. At 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon the patrol wagon, with five policemen, Detective Tim Danaher and Deputy Sheriff Andy Lang- ford, went to the house and searched it, but Shepard was not there. He had been there, but had gone. He went there direct from the jail, and the police think he was there all day, but Mrs. Browner, who was a friend of Shepard, and who carried fruit to him while he was in jail, says that he remained ther only a few minutes, because she would not let him stay here. : AFTER SEVEN YEARS. Suit for Divorce by Fred W. Millis Fi- nally Dismissed. After more than seven years in court, Frederick W. Millis dismissed his suit to be divorced from Emily Millis. The peti- tion was filed on Jan. 23, 1889, and it recited that the parties were married in November, 1883, and lived together about a month when she left him. It was charged that she was guilty of infidelity with one Stanfield and with others. Depositions filed in the case show that she declined to live with him. He sent Albert Ward, a friend of his, to ask her come back and she refused, Ward says that he found her living with a man named McLean, whose wife was in an insane asylum at Gladesville. Millis was an artist and returned to England some time since. Thursday his attorney, H. A. Loevy dis- missed the suit. Nothing has been heard of Mrs. Millis since the period embraced by the depositions— Mr. Loevy also dismissed another ancient case—John F. Connor’s suit to be divorced from Mary Florence Connor. The bill was filed Aug. 27, : Loevy has not heard from Connor since Oct. 14, 1889, when the court ordered him to put up for the costs, WAGNER IN CHICAGO.

Ford, the negro, whose brutal murder of Elsie Kreglo, on May 4 last, formed one of the most atrocious c es in the police an- nals of Washington, was hanged in the jail. yard here %his morn at 11:33. Ford made a statement denying that he had attempted to outrage his victim, Ford’s crime aroused the greatest indig- nation in this'city a ae wee dalked of. His victim was 4 young white country girl, about 16 years of age, who lived with er parents a mile from the city limits. She w. ding & cow but a short way from home, when er, who attempted to assa her. him and a terrific two ensued, during several ugly gashes across the throat of his victim with a knife, The girl’s screams brought assistance from her family, who’ found her bleedin and exhausted from the wounds. She die almost immediately without giving any in- formation about her assailant. A number of arrests were made and the surrounding country was searched by posses of deter- mined men, but it was several days before the police succeeded in obtaining clews that seemed to fasten the crime on Ford. The latter managed to get as far away as. Har- per’s Ferry, and after an — 1 chase, during which the prisoner jumped into the river in an attempt to drown himself, he was captured and brought to the city. Here he was at first deflant and denied every- — but finally confessed first that he murdered the girl d then that he had made an effort to vish her. Ford was about 30 years old and a man of low, brutish instincts. SUNDAY SCHOQL CONVENTION. Lesson Committee Appointed and Oth- er Business Transacted. BOSTON, Mass., June 26.—‘‘How to Study the Bible” was the subject taken by D. L. Moody at the service which began to-day’s session of the Sund School Convention. At the close of the s@rvice the business of the conference was resumed, with President K in the chair. s committee appointed to nominate the Lesson Committee for 1900-1905, presented the following names, which were unani- mously accepted by a rising vote: Warren Randolph, D.

Society in New York Wags Its Tongue Anent the Castellanes. NEW YORK, June 2%.—Rumor is busy ‘again with Anna Gould and her Count. This time it spreads the story that the Countess Castellane and her French hus- band are in need t money and that “Brother George” has been requested to loosen the family pursestrings. The story is backed up by the presence in New York of Henry Cachard, a lawyer connect- ed with the Paris branch of the Coudert Bros.’ firm. His business here is alleged to be that of envoy pecuniary in the in- terest of the Countess, Moreover, a certain society leader“ here claims to be in receipt of a letter from Paris containing back-stairs gossip of the Goulds. The fortune of the Countess, it is said, remeins in this count and she receives only the income therefrom. This would be sufficient were it not for .the Count’s peculiar ways. His wife is cus- todian of the funds and knows a thing or two about economy. So her husband, as the story has it, went into partnership with the tradesmen. They doubled their prices for everything they sold his Count- ess, and then gave him — cent of the extra price, In that way he managed to increase his income and hence the alleged deficit in the Castellane treasury.

Robertson of Habersham County was Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions. The platform in full as follows: “Resolved, That Congress has no power to discriminate at the mints against either gold or silver as metals for the coinage of prima money or against gold or silver coin of the United States as to the debt- paying functions. Such discriminations de- prive the citizens of the use of one kind of standard money, provided by the Constitu- tion for the payment. of debts, and we de- mand the repeal of all laws, or parts of laws, making such discrimination, and the restoration of the standard-silver dollar to the rank of primary ener which it held prior to 1878, by opening the mints to the coinage of silver, on a perfect equality with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. „Resolved, That we condemn the financial licy which necessitates the iricrease of he bonded debt of the country in time of eace to maintain an unnecessary gold re- serve, or to pay the current expenses of the Government. We also condemn a policy which seeks to retire the United States and Treasury notes, as they constitute an ab- solutely safe circulating: medium, based on id and silver coin and backed by the en- e wealth of the country. Such a policy would not only intensify the present evil of contract, but place the exclusive right to issue a circulating medium in the control of a concentrated money power and above the law and the will of the people and fur- ther the Federal doctrine of centralization and class Government through financial control, a doctrine which is a standing men- © our republican institutions and the a we demand the clothe a Secretary of the Treasury with the more than imperial ds and increase the pub- will and pleasure without rity from Congress. we favor the payment of cable. ec, so much as is required for the necessities ui the Government economically &dministered, showj@ be honestly applied to Such payment, and when the obligateons of the vernment expressly state on their face or the law under wh they were is- sued provides that they are payable in coin, or in dollars, such obligations should be d in gold or silver coin at the conven- ence of the Government, and not at the op- tion of the holder of the ob tion.” Resolutions were adopted ¢ondemning as _ Un-American and un-Democratie any asso- ciation, political or otherwise, that is guilty of illegal warfare and wanton persecution of citizens on account of religious faith.

Col. Newman’s Headquarters at the Laclede Fitted With Interesting Relics of the Lost Cause. The followers of the Lost Cause, who are crowding into Col. H. A. Newman’s head- quarters at the Laclede, behold hung about the walls emblems that call to their minds hours of carnage and deeds of heroism that are imperishable. The historic emblems are battle flags that the Colonel is taking to the Annual Con- federate Veterans’ reunion at R:chmond, Va., and he has taken them from their safe boxes ‘n order to gratify the curious demand of many who have never seen them before, and also at the request of not a few who saw them wave on the shotted fields of battle, Among these flags is a small one of the finest silk. It was the post colors of com- manding Gen. Stephen D. Lee, the famous infantry commander, who is now the Pres- dent of the Mississippi Industrial College. It waved its last time officially from the pve post of the house in which Gen, ee had his headquarters at Greensboro, N. C., before surrendering to Sherman. Col. Newman was on D. H. Hill's staff, and had just been up to receive his parole, land was sadly returning to his tent by way of Gen. Lee’s quarters, within which all was bustle and ef, because in a few minutes the General and his staff were to march out to surrender their arms and colors. . He paused before the gate, and the bright little flag attracted him. It had been sent to Gen. Lee by admiring young ladies in Mississippi. “TIT never stole anything in my life,“ mused the Colonel to himself, “but I'll rob Sherman of one trophy,” and fitting the action to the word, he tore the bright colors from the staff and crammed them into the inside pocket of his well-worn gray coat. He has kept the colors ever since, and though Gen. Lee has asked for them, the Colonel will not surrender them. Another and larger flag, covering several yards of wall, is that of the Sixth Missouri. It never fell into the hands of the enemy, though it came awfully near it dozens of times. This flag went through some re- markable scenes. Great holes are torn through it by shot and shell. On the white squares are still to be seen traces of blood where ensign after ensi fell bleeding and dying with it in his hands. ‘This memorable inscription on a silk background tells the story of how the men who followed it fought and died: "Sixth Missouri, C.

THEY WILL RUN A HOT RACE. Gold Standard Men Are Accepting the Situation and Altogether Demo- cratic Prospects Are Bright. Special to The Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 26.—It is not known definitely what the gold men of In- diana propose to try to do about their over- whelming defeat in the Democratic State Convention, but the talk now indicates that there will be a passive acceptance of the platform and ticket. With the exception of ex-Congressman William D, Bynum, who made such a stubborn gold fight in the con- vention, the gold men are inclined to ac- quiesce in the work of the convention, and thus seem to regard it s their political duty to stand by the .y’s action. Thomas Tageart, ex-chairman of the Democratic State Committee, whose practical political influence is as great as of any Democrat in Indiana, said to-day: “The convention is over. While I dif- fered from the majority in the convention on the currency question, which was the issue, I accept, as all good Democrats should, the decision of the majority. I re- gret exceedingly that any unpleasantness occurred in the Marion County meetings, but I, feel satisfied that every Democrat in Marion and Johnson Countiés, which com- prise the Bevep i> District, will from now until election day do their duty. I am in favor of the Indiana delegation to Chicago and the Indiana Democracy gol to Chi- cago in a solid front determined to. use every honorable effort to secure the nomina- tion of Gov. Matthews for President.“ One of the happiest and most contented men in Indiana to-day was Allen W. Clark; President of the State Free Silver League. He is one of a few Democratic editors, who, a year ago, at a conference at Maxinkuckee, decided to stand t er for the free coin- age of silver. They formed a nucleus, around which the State Free Silver League within the Democratic party was after- ward formed. Mr. Clark remained at the Grand Hotel to receive the congratulations of friends, a “The ticket is an excellent one,” he said, “It is especial y rich in campaigning ma- terial, This will, of necessity, be a speaking r Nearly every man we nominated can take the stump and make a stron speech in favor of the principles for whic we ‘stand.

The body of Detective Wm. W. Cook, who committed suicide at the Planters’ Hotel, as reported in a late edition of Thursday's Post-Dispatch, will probably be interred Saturday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. Meyer, sister of the de- ceased, 4068 Page avenue, Cook’s body was discovered late Thurs- day afternoon by Katie Burke, a chamber- maid at the hotel, and Felix O’Connor, the house detective. It was astride a chair, the breast resting upon the back. Several letters were found, stating that desponden- cy over domestic troubles was the cause of the tragedy and Remon the means. No drug could. be found. 3 Cook secured a room at 1 o’clock Thursday morning by representing that he had lost the oe A to his own room on Olive street. He retired and must have taken the drug on arising before noon Thursday. Letters left by the deceased were addressed to his brother and sister, to the press and to Coroner Wait. They were rather rambling, but declared that — with his wife was On April char 5 The Flag Law of Illinois So Declared by Judge Wright of the Cir- | cuit Court, 3 Special to The Post-Dispatch. CHAMPAIGN, III., June 26.~In the Cir- cuit Court at Urbana to-day Judge Wright : ruled the flag law unconstitutional and quashed the indictment against the Uni- versity of Illinois trustees. A few weeks ago a Champaign Grand-jury indicted the trustees of the State University, including Gov. Altgeld and State Superintendent In- glis, for failure to comply with the law. Defendants claimed that the law was un- constitutional, that a flag had been flying from a pole in the university grounds, and that, although no flag had been flying on the university buildings, the spirit of the law had been complied with.

They Yelled for Filley and Webster Davis, but Gave McKinley and Walbridge a Chill. Your Uncle Chauncey Ives Filley had hard luck with his ratification meeting at Exposition Music Hall Thursday night. The threatening clouds and heavy down- pour was too much even for the Filleyites, and not more than 2,300 put in an appear- ance. Of this number fully 100 were la- les, and some of them presented a sad appearance in their rain-soaked costumes. There was no lack of enthusiasm, even though the great crowd that was expected failed to appear. There were yells, bugle blasts and music galore, but the crowd did not seem disposed to demonstrate for McKinley. The enthusiasm was for Fil- ley.. He seemed pleased and happy. de- spite the weather and the sea of empty seats before him. „ The Merchants’ League Club, which had the arrangements in charge, had planned for a big parade and «ome of the clubs were forming when the flood gates were opened. The ratifiers scattered in all direc- tions. Chairman Filley came to the hall shortly before 8 o’clock in a carriage with Mr. Charles Parsons, who presided over the meeting. They had no sooner entered than the storm began. The hall was then scarce- ly half filled and there was little enthusi- asm visible. Those who were in the hall seemed fearful of another cyclone and every noise caused them to stir uneasily in their seats. Then the Merchants’ League Club Drum Corps arrived and made a terrific racket, which drowned out the roar of thun- der on the outside and the noise of the deluge on the roof. About 8:30 De Ole Man,” arm in arm with Chairman Parsons, walked out on the stage and the audience went wild. Cheer after cheer went up and two thousand or more American flags and as many hands were waved frantically. The demonstration was led by the Merchants’ League Club and the drum and bugle corps added to the din. Filley opened the meeting as Chairman of the general committee which arranged the ratification. Before he could speak he had to move his arms to command silence. Then when he started cheers were proposed and given with a roar for Webster Davis, who Was not present. An attempt to get a similar demonstration for Mayor Walbridge evoked only a feeble cheer and a yell from a rooter with a foghorn voice. He's no 00d.” De Ole Man” predicted success for McKinley and Hobart, and then read a letter which had been delivered to him nearly a year before the convention by a Mr. Osborn, representing McKinley. In that letter the Canton Major requested Mr. Filley to acquaint Osborne with the exact situation in Missouri. “fT told him,” said Filley, in a loud and * resonant voice, that Missouri would give her vote for cKinley, and that it would not be necessary to spend a dollar in — that vote. During the convention too a ride with Osborne, and he told me how well the promise had been fulfilled.” Chairman Parsons was next introduced, and spoke at length in praise of McKinley, protection and the gold standard. The “‘60- cent dollar’’ came in for a large share of attention, but the audience did not enthuse Parsons was followed Jo Rassieur and F. A. Wind. The meeting was adjourned at 10 o’clock with three che2is for McKinley and Hobart, proposed by Boss Filley. TIGHTENING HIS GRIP. De Ole Man Quietly Organizes His State Executive Committee. Uncle Filley’s Republican State Commit- tee held a very quiet and extremely har- monious meeting at the Merchants’ League Club Thursday. It was so quiet that no- body except the actual participants knew anything about it until several hours after it was all over and so harmonious that there was not a debate or a division on a single topic discussed. he committee met at 10 a. m., and with a short intermission for lunch at Uncle Fil- ley’s expense at noon, adjourned at 2:45 in the afternoon. All the members were pres- ent either in person or by proxy, and so de- termined were they to keep their business to themselves that none of them visited any of the downtown hotels during the day. They quietly slipped into the city in the morning, went from the railroad station di- rect to the Merchants’ League Club, stayed there all day and quietly slipped out of town at night. The sole purpose of the meett was to tighten Uncle Filley’s vise-like grip on the party’s State organization. The surprising and start! success of Col. Kerens in dhe contest for National Committeeman staggered De Ole Man” somewhat, and as soon as he partially re- covered from the shock, he retired to the Mosque to do some very hard thinking. e State convention at St. Joseph in Ray re-elected him Chairman of the State mixee by acc timation, but the victory of Kerens at St. Louis a week ago sug- fested to him the possibility of another coup | OUR.....

City Jailer Butch“ Wagner is at work getting up a delegation in the Ninth Ward which he intends to pit against the Bar- tholdt-Ziegenhein-Wurzburger combination. The Ninth Ward is in the Southern part of the city, and Wagner, who is a practical genius, tells the natives he is killing two birds mit ein stein.” He is looking for Noble Shepard, the es- caped murderer, and incidentally getting up a straight out and out delegation in the in- terest of Walbridge. Despite his winning ways Wagner has enemies, and some of them are in the Ninth Ward. They do not believe the jailer is looking for Shepard, and they show no hesitancy in saying so. Some of them are unkind enough to say “Butch” would not recognize Shepard on the street if he met him face to face, and that his scheme is to put in all his time down there looking for strong men to run on his delegation. Wagner is loyal to Walbridge, and he proposes to get a Ninth Ward ae for — Honor if he has to let the jail run itself. REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES. ‘The Delegations Must Be Filed by Sat- urday Afternoon. But few delegations for the Republican primaries were filed with the Board of Election Commissioners Friday. One of these by Central Committeeman Julius Wurzburger of the Ninth Ward and is styled the regular delegation. It is headed by Congressman Richard Bartholdt and then follow Collector Henry Zeigenhein, Herman Ellerman, Charles Webking, Jr., Julius Wurzburger, Frank Sebastian, Andy Herbel, Xavier, Metzger, Christ Goebel, Wm. Hoffman and C. W Johnson. The delegations must all be in the hands of Secretary Saunders of the board not later than 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Any delegation offered after that time will not be accepted. There will be as many as three delegations in some of the wards, but the Walbridge managers express con- fidence that they will have enough strength to name the 108 delegates who will repre- = St. Louis in the Springfield conven- tion. In the Eleventh Ward there will be two delegations, but both are for Walbridge, at least that is the assurance given “Silent Cy’s” managers. The Twenty-fifth Ward Republicans will have a meeting at 3100 Chouteau avenue Friday night to select a delegation and it will be controlled by supporters of C. M Watson, the Central Committeeman. He said Thursday morning that he was not committed to support any candid for the bernatorial nomination. ridge’s riends in the Twenty-fifth Ward may file another degelation. Lincoln Republican Club. The Lincoln Republican Club of the Fifth Ward will hold a special meeting Friday night at 1506 South Seventh street. Homeless Vagabond’s Death.

The friends of Mr. Keyes are really serious and point with pride at his record asa legislator and citizen. They argue that he is not the creature of * political push nor faction and is above all a friend and servant of the people. It is rumored that the little boomlet of Mr. Keyes is not the only one which wiil originate in the Council. ELLA BEASLY SHOT HIM. But Joe Wiseman Got Even by Shoot- ing Ella. Joe Wiseman, colored, living at 1117 North Tenth street, told the dispensary physicians Thursday night that an unknown man shot him in the leg, but the police unearthed a different story. Wiseman visited Ella Beasley and Lucy Smith, at 1016 North Twelfth street, and they engaged in one of the three-cornered fights so common in that 5 lla shot Wiseman in the left leg with a revolvér, and he retaliated by puncturing her right thigh with a bullet. All three were arrested for disturbing the peace. The wounds are not serious. FORGER ON A SMALL SCALE. This Man Was Content to Get Off With One Dollar. The police are looking for a man about 32 years old, who has been doing the Jim-the- Penman act. He gave his name as George Lessner of 2608 St. Louis avenue, and claimed to be manager of the bot aing department of the Columbia Brewery. He entered the saddlery store of Henry — 2413 North Twenty-fifth street, and purchased $9 worth of goods, tendering in payment a check for on the Third Na- tional Bank, drawn to the order of George and signed by him. in change and asked shat the goods be delivered at the brewery. No such man is known there, and the check has been pronounced fraudulent. VISITORS IN THE CITY. W. 8. Adams, one of the leading merch Dallas, Tex,, is at the Lindell. E John T.

HOME COMING | OP THE BUSITES. HONORABLE GENTLEMEN ARE MET BY A GANG OF STATESMEN. . VIRTUE ITS OWN ~~ REWARD. Boss Filley Drinks Beer With Bus, While the Rest of the Ringsters Are Being Congratulated. After a ten days’ sojourn with Sheriff Sone of Cole County, the seven honorable members of the St. Louls School Board, who monkeyed with the mandates of the State Supreme Court, came home Thursday night. They were met at the station in a manner befitting gentlemen who attempted to debauch the public school system by stealing an election. A gang of Republican statesmen was there to welcome them as brothers. From Union Station they were escorted to the Merchants’ League Club by a Re- ception Committee of eighteen, headed by Charles F. Wenneker, Tom Holland and Theodore Kalbfeld. 8 at the club house even Chauncey Ives gee OP gare pated in their reception. He red to show the honorable gentlemen how much he appreciated their efforts in behalf of the Republican pert: Had they stuffed ballot boxes in the interest of the eat disciple of harmony they could not have been received with higher honors, The ringsters arrived at the Union Station at 10 o’clock. As they passed from the train sheds into the midway, a cheer went up from the Filleyites waiting to welcome them. They were all in gala yeti & wearing hu button hole bouquets a satisfied smiles. Mr. Bus seemed particularly 131 proud of the distinction which s expe- rience in jall had given him. It's a glorious thing to be a martyr, thought r. Bus, and Sis blood 25 and his eyes sparkled.

Bell’s License and the Politicians’ Game Will Be Helps, Excise Conimissioner Nicholas M. Bell has donated to the Liquor Dealers’ Benevolent Association, for the benefit of the storm sufferers, a retail saloon license running from July 3 to Jan. 3 next. The value of tne license is $300, which Col. Beil will have to pay to the State. A committee of the Liquor Dealers’ As- sociation will dispose of the license by a raffle. Tickets are seliing at $2.50 ap.ece, There are 2,000 saloon-keepers in the city and each of them will take at least one ticket. This guarantees 30, 000 more to the Storm Relief kund. The prize will be raffied duly 10. Ihe game of base ball between picked nines from the members of the Democratic and Republican City Central Committees which was to have been played on Thurs- day, July 2, has been postponed to the fol- lowing day, July 3. Sportsman’s Park will be the scene of combat and the entire gate receipts will be donated to the tornado relief fund. The price of admission will be 2 cents and no seats will be reserved. Chris Von der Ahe, “der boss President,“ will be the umpire for the Democrats and he is expected to use his great knowledge of the fine points and technicalities of the game in favor of that side.

Dr. Boyd Thinks the Central Office Will Have to.Be Closed Monday. The Merchants’ Exchange relief fund for tornado sufferers is almost exhausted and It is thought that the Central Office at the Merchants’ Exchange will be closed next Monday. ö The total recetved to date is a little over $233,000 Of this amount $183,009.19 has been expended according to the figures on Dr. Boyd's books. Referring to the disposition a of the money subscribed Dr. Boyd said ay There seems to be an impression that the various relief stations have suspended oper- ations. That fs not the case. hey are as active as ever in carrying on their work, though their methods are not the same as when they began operations. In a certain sense the stations have never been closed. At the start they gave temporary relief to all applicants. “after about $35,000 had been expended, It was thought, advisable to examine each case carefully. This was done. Visitors were sent out and all cases favorably re- rted on were relieved. This tem was ollowed up to June 16, when $153,520.70 had been expended. Then it was found that a great many people who were not t sufferers at all were trying to draw on the fund. From that time no relief was given direct from the station but when cases were found deserving, clothing and provisions were sent to the homes. Here at the Central office we have been all the time to those who it, We find that many most cases that draw most to BOYS’ CLOTHINt All $3, $4 and $5 Knee Suits, ages 3 to 15, in woe cheviots and cassimeres, single and double-breasted Suite.

J. Bryam of Nebraska ea “Billy” Mason of Chicago. 2 Mr. Bryan has a clerical cast of counte- nance. Upon his brow is written grave ' Geliberation and in his eyes gleam the fires of consecration. He can rise to lofty periods of eloquence, but never fall to levity. “Billy” Mason has all the ‘seeming of a court jester. He has had sorrows, but the dimples.of laughter have chased away the wrinkles of care. He has powers of analysis, but reserves them On the stump he surren- ders himself wholly to fun-making. We read that Mason keeps the Iowa audiences in a roar. It would be enter- taining to hear Mason in a burlesque argument in defense of the gold standard. Such an argument, when presented by its most serious supporters, has in it much of the absurd. A Mason injecting his wit into it with malice prepense promises to give a dash of humor to a most serious political campaign. ; GEN. LEE AND UUBA. Gen. Fi gh Lee denies having made nabe report to the President concern- ing the condition of affairs in Cuba. He does not deny, however, that the condi- tions existing there are such as were described in the report attributed to him. There can be no doubt that when the official report of Gen. Lee is made public, ‘Wf it ever is, it will accord with the rep- | * resgeptations of the newspaper corre- spondents at Havana. These men are of recognized responsibility and without mo- tive for falsehood, Their dangerous posi- tion would make them more ready to e*euse than condemn Spanish misgovern- ment and barbarity. | Nor is there much reason to doubt that Mr. Cleveland has been well advised, for months past, of the condition of affairs in the island, The sending of Gen. Lee to the island was in itself a subterfuge which the General was not a party. Lee will make an honest and truthful report. And if there were still hope for a Cleveland boom his patriotic recommendations would be carried out. As it is they may never be published, as they will undoubtedly conflict with the interests of Mr. Olney’s New England syndicates. RECKLESS TRUST MANAGEMENT.

The Demo- rats who will constitute that convention “ill not permit usage or custom to pre- policy needful to the people’s welfare. of infinitely greater importance than the two-thirds rule, ig that the majority shall rule, The majority will rule at Chicago. ALL THE DELEGATES ELECTED. At Thursday's conventions in Georgia and North Carolina the last of the dele- gates to the Democratic National Con- vention were elected. Of the 918 delegates of which the con- vention will be composed, 586 are for free silver and 332 are for the single gold standard. The free silver men are liable to gain two more votes in Delaware and one more in Florida, but in a table pub- lished elsewhere the vote of the several States and Territories is given as reported from official sources immediately after thé conventions were held. On the chowing thus made, the free silver men lack just twenty-six votes of a two-thirds majority. When the Cre- dentials Committee pass upon the con- tests, these twenty-six votes will prob- ably be obtained from Michigan. The Michigan delegation is bound. by the-unit rule, and contains fifteeri gold meh and thirteen free silver men. Several of the districts are contested, and the grounds tor a successful contest in at least two: of them are said to be conclusive. A change of two votes will give the free silver men, the majority, and under the unit rule the cotitrol of the delegation. This would add twenty-eight votes to the free silver co)umn, or two more than two- thirds of the total membership of the convention, All that remains now is to reap’ the fruits of the victory thus won. Whitney and his Eastern assoclates will make desperate efforts to divert the free silver majority from its instructions. and its purpose. If money can accomplish this, it will be accomplished. If wheedling and cajolery can accomplish it, it will be abtcomplished. If bulldozing and threats can be made effective, they will be resorted to. There can be no doubt that the delegates to the Chicago con- vention will be subjected to crucial tests of manhood and party loyalty. But the Post-Dispatch has no fear of the result. Scoundrels and traitors may be found here and there in the delegations. But they will not be numerous, and care will be taken that infamy shall pursue them home. —_ — ILLINOIS FOR BLAND. There is no doubt that Mr. Bland 18 the choice of the Democrats of Illinois for President. : This might have been understood be- fore the Peoria convention met. But that great and representative assembly left no room for doubt. Bland’s position} 1 of the man who has forced that issue against the combinations of interests which have, for years, attempted to ob- scure it. That is the secret of his strength with the Democracy of Illinois and of the country. Shall the sentiment of Hilinois Demo- crats find expression at Chicago? The Post-Dispatch has shown that Bland is a great tribune of the people, equipped for their defense in every field of public action. His candidacy would harmonize with that of Altgeld for Governor. They would stand together in Illinois as repre- senting opposition to every menace to popular right and interest. We cannot believe that the refusal of Bland instructions, in view of the senti- ment of the convention, was to promote selfish ends, Gov. Altgeld is above traf- ficking principle for pelf. Nobody would ever suspect him of it. And he is strong and courageous and vigilant enough to see that no man who has been placed, through him, in high position in the Chi- cago convention shall barter away the Illinois delegation for promised spoil. He will permit no man, grasping and ava- riclous enough to use a great party sen- timent to set up a private monopoly, to trade the people for his own profit. Illinois will be for Bland. NO LANDSCAPE GARDENER. Councilman Horton’s bill to create the Office of landscape gardener for the city parks ought to be defeated. Even if a landscape gardener is needed for the parks, this is not the time to engage one. Just when the city has been compelled to expend $100,000 extra on account of the cyclone, and city officials are propos- ing new taxes to make up the deficiency thus caused and to meet urgent demands for funds, a bill of this kind has the ap- pearance of reckless jobbery. The Park Commissioner and his assist- ants are supposed to have a knowledge of landscape gardening, and as a matter of fact the condition of most of our parks prior to the cyclone was sufficient evi- dence that they understood their work. It is true that a large part of Forest Park remains in a semi-wild condition, beauty ig its chief attraction. Beonomy is what is needed just now. If city councilmen and delegates can de- vise bills looking to economy in expend- iture, they will be performing a service to the city. | } It le said that the Treasury officials are now hopeful that they will be able ta maintain the gold reserve during the summer.and autumn, unless there should be a serious panic, due to political causes. As the goldbug bankers of the East have threatened to bring on a panic unless Western peoplé shall cease to think for themselves, the fears of the ‘Treasury officials are not without reason. „is to advance or defend When a party tm an emphatic ap- sive gold standard; an ber is bound to fol- is one of the elements toward the issue of this campaign is that People are going to take things into their’ is the Wall Street gambling industry. but in the eyes of most people its natural | 78 > of the Post-Dispatch’s circulation, which Tt is altogether false that there would have been a panic if the St. Louis con- vention. had left out its gold plank;. un- less, indeed, the Bastern bankers them- selves had precipitated one in accord- ance with their threats. The cyclones and epidemics of the United States are belittled by the Japan- ese tidal wave and earthquakes. If we ments within a year we should feel our- selves stricken indeed. . The sixty-four Grand Army men of Dallas who fell into line to honor the occasion of a Confederate monument corner-stone laying are real patriots. Chauncey Depew doesn’t see Wh his party should take the President of a water company in preference to the Pres- ident of a railroad company when looking about for a man for second place. Lyman Trumbull was of the Repub- lican party in its better days. There are violent partisans who go so far as to say that the good Republicans, like the good Indians, are now all dead. — oe — — The Grand Old Party did not turn out in vast numbers to welcome home its educational leaders from jail. - Such is the distracting effect of the lingering big con- vention excitement. The city is not gloomy over the news that a. Republican official drawing two salaries has lost one of them. A little reform occasionally comes with Repub- lican quarrels.

There are, of course, other able champions of honest American money, but there is no record quite like that of the sage of Lebanon, Uncle Filley last night kindly refrained from’ mentionjng Republican misrule in St. Louis. This is an important omission for so well-known a reformer. 6 — — . — Mr. McKinley has a brother Abner and a cousin Osborne, but our Mr. Bland has a son who gives promise of honoring both his parent and his State. _—_—————— ie ———@ It is to be regretted that Count Cas- tellane is not scattering Jay Gould’s dol- lars in the United States instead ot squandering them in France. ae The metropolitan dailies may shriek and the spellbinders may roar, but the own hands this year. — . — — The fact that during Treasurer Stephens’ term $4,428,000 of the State debt has been paid is very good for campaign reference. Imperial Missouri must needs go in force to the nomination of Richard P. Bland. There will be a rush of volunteers in this good cause. * The un-American platform adopted at St. Louis can arouse little enthusiasm among voters who think for themselves.

The way the St. Louis Republic has been tumbling into the camp of the silver Demo. crats recently reminds one dt the manner in which Reed, Morton and Allison delegates at St. Louis climbed into McKinley’s band wagon when they saw they were licked. We expect it will not be long until the Re- public, in its seal as a new convert, will be making mouths at Cleveland and Carlisle and other men whose praises it sounded in so high a key when it was trying to force the Missouri Democrats into the camp of the goldbugs. The Republic has learned something, even if at large cost and much humiliation. : Who Is to Be Bought? From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The result of the census of Inner London, taken on the night of Sunday, March 29 last, shows that the population at that date was 4,411,271, or some 14,000 less than had been estimated, An exammation of the returns shows that the population, north and south of the Thames, was thus divided: river, 1,642,796. This census being under the provision of the equalization of rates act, 1894, was confined to the “Administrative County of London.” “Greater London,” however, includes all the districts under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan police.

LAING AND KNOWER WILLING. But the Fellows With a “Rep” to Lose Differed Over Minor Details— Sporting News. ‘The proposed four-cornered road race be- tween Bert Harding, Ed Grath, Alex Laing and Charley Knower was officially declared off at noon to-day. Harding insisted that the riders should be paced by tandems from their own clubs. He wanted a St. Louis Cycling Club team to pace him and Laing, Grath and Knower to take a Century team to pace them. This Grath would not agree to. Then Harding proposed to let the Cycling Club and Century teams pace alternate laps. Grath would not have this either. He wanted mixed teams on the tandem. Af- ter much discussion, pro and con, the race was declared off. Bert Harding has filed another objection to the conditions of the big four-cornered road race. It was about the conditions which Grath, Laing and Knower agreed should govern the pacing. It will be remembered that Harding all along insisted that the race should be tan- dem-paced. Grath wanted an unpaced race. reg: sided with Harding and Knower with rath. * ‘After much discussion Grath finally agreed to all the conditions that Harding de- manded. He was willing that the race should be paced in any manner, that it should be any distance, at any place or time and for any prize from a $1,000 tro- phy toa bag of peanuts.” When Grath agreed to take tandem pace, the promoters of the affair promised him that each tandem would be manned by one man taken from thé St. Louis Cycling Club and one from the Century Road Club. This was done so that there would be no chance for the pacemakers favoring any of the con- testants. Grath complained that in case the tandems were all manned by Cycling Club men Hard- ing and Laing would get the best of the e His argument was that in case ares or Laing got the tandem the Cycling Clu men would carry them along at a merry clip, while, on the other hand, if Grath or Knower got first place behind a Cycling Club tandem they would go but a slow an uneven pace. With a Century team on the tandem the case would be vice versa. Grath thought by putting a man from each club on the tandem all this trouble would be avoided. The gentlemen who have the affair in charge thought that mixed teams would set a nice pace all through the race and agreed to Grath's plan which was indorsed by Knower and Alex eS Harding kicked hard. He claimed that the mixed arrangement was a bad one. He thought that if Grath and Knower were falling the Century man on the tan- dem would not work. H seems to think that the hotter the 48 from the start the better chance he stands of beating Grath. He wants a scorcher from the first revolution to the last. This he feels he will not get with anything but a Cycling Club team on the dem. He thinks that with a team from his own club to help him with a hot pace he can make Grath ride a * The final proposition wag that two tan- dems, one from each club, be put in to do the pacing. The Cycling Club tandem will take their own men, Hardt and Laing, and the Centurys Grath and ‘Hnower. The objection to this was that the best tandem team would win the race for its fol- lowers. Thus it would not be a fair contest _ between the riders. VARSITY RACE TO-DAY. Harvard, Columbia, Cornell and Penn- sylvania Will Contest.

Wretched ball playing in the first and second innings lost yesterday's game to Cincinnati. If that is the kind of ball the Browns played on the Eastern trip, the umpires did not have to go much out of th way to t . It was not errors of hand or weakness at the bat that caused the Browns to lose. It was just “deadness,”” dumbness, or any t It. Miller was on first, when Me- Phee hit an easy one to short. Cross got it all right, but instead of throwing to first tried to get Miller at second. Dusty was on base re Cross got the ball. Then Meyers came along. With men on first and second old silabsid tried to bunt. e shot the ball at Meyers, who got it right at third base. All he had to do was. to touch the bag with his foot to force Miller, a fast base run- ner, but he threw old “Charley Horse Buck” out at first, while Miller took third. Meyers should at least have forced Miller and he had a good chance for a double play. There is no excuse for that sort of work. It is not ball playing. The best in- dividual team in the world would lose un- der such conditions. Cross’ and Meyers’ stupidity. cost three runs. Irwin singled to right. Douglas threw into the diamond. Irwin started to go to second on the throw. Morgan Mur- phy had him dead to rights, but Don- ahue jumped into him and prevented him fielding the ball to second in time to catch the runner.

Wesley Robinson came near being slaugh- tered on the bed on which he strangled the life out of Ella Robinson, his colored mis- tress. His best friend, James Pemples, who slept with him the night after the traged in the same house wi rpse of the woman, took a knife to bed with him with the avowed n- tention of killing Robinson if the latter laid his hand on him. Femples, for whom the police have been looking since the arrest of Robinson, was icked up on the street Thursday night by wo policemen, who took him before Capt.

Robinson -met Pemples Wednesday after he had buried the y of Elia Jones under the kitchen floor. He begged Pemples to go home and sleep with him, saying that the woman had gone to Memphis, and that he was alone. That night Robinson was nearer to death than he ever was before. He slept beside a man who held in his hand beneath the ag d an open knife, ready to plunge it nto his body on the slightest provocation, Pemples says thet with reluctance he went to sleep with Robinson, and that after he had been asleep an hour he was awakened by Robinson, who was Sagertag his ears, running his hands over his face and clutch- i at throat. mples awakened Robinson from his troublesome sleep and warned him not to put his hands on him again.

There is a well defined movement on foot to reopen the Fourth street entrance to the Merchants’ Exchange. When the members came on the floor iday morning the first thing that caught their eye was a group of brilliantly colored designs. They were drawn at the order of President C. H. Spencer of the Exchange and show the de- tails of an elaborate entresol, passageway and rotunda, which Mr. Spencer and other members of the Exchange hope to see erected in the near future, The entrance to the Exchan from the Fourth street side was clo about two years ago on account of the failure of the A owners on that street to keep t in re as — 0 de tho t building. . Recently the reopening of the entrance has been agitated. Mr. Spencer had plans drawn and conferred with Charles Turner, who owns the Fourth street property ad- ioining the Exchange. Mr. Turner signified is willingness to bear his share of the ex- pense of erecting an elaborate entrance. He and his tenants will put up $20,000 if the Exchange will raise for the purpose. There is considerable opposition to th scheme on Change, and this will have to be 2 1 me necessary two-thirds vote can 0 ned. President Spencer said Friday that he thought the reopening of the entrance would: not only benefit the Exchange greatly, but would add the@usands of dollars to the value of Fourth street property. He thinks the scheme will be carried through, though he cannot as yet furnish an estimate of cost.

Here I’ve been 3 overtime to keep this month moist,” he said, “and haven't came within a mile of the record. The réporter ventured to remark that from all indications the present June had been the wettest that ever happened. @ professor assumed that haughty ex- pression worn by people in the position of a sary 2 a 2 and — 4 5 rter ra his 1 8 was vociferating throug ece. He took down a big leather- bound book and opened it. Look here,” he said, this doesn’t look as if it tained very much this month, does it? * this June we have had only 4.06 1 1 inches rain, s normal for the same th of time is 4.36. The average rainfall for June is 6. as if we are y think it has rained a deal, That’s because they have been guring the number of times they got caught without an umbrella. Science is the thing, though, Science, and science says we haven't had all the rain that’s coming “Why, the rainfall in May was 9.12 inches, only people didn’t notice it until the big storm turned t heads. We not only have not reached the record, but we have not come to the average. “In June, 1848, the rainfall was 17.7 inches. We are way above the average on thunder storms, though. We have had nine so far this month, while the average is only five, Still, in June, 1888, there were 12 thunder storms. “Last night’s storm was only a heai storm. The wind only blew 23 miles un hour, and was not destructive. The barometer is high everywhere to- day, with very little prospect of rain.” BUTLER’S ANTICS. Colored Servant Had a Fit of Yelling and Was Subdued by Cold Water. Mrs. Alice Romans called at the Four Courts Priday morning to have Tom But- ler, her colored hired man, arrested. She said that she employed Butler last May, when she moved from 2219 Sheridan avenue to 2622 Dayton street. Thursday he came home drunk, after being down town all day Butler must be of a peculiar turn of mind. Mrs, Romans says that when he got in the house and found her alone he went through the rooms, closed the blinds, pulled down the shades, and made the place almost as dark as night. Then he stationed himself in the middle of the dining-room and began to yell and scréam as loud as he could. rs. Romans was not frightened, but she got a bucket of water and stood in the door- way. She threw cup after cup of cold water on him, and when he was wet through he became subdued and she put him out of the house. 1 2 a He remained about the place all night, trying to get in., and Friday morning Mrs. Romans desired the police to arrest him. NOT IN HIS BAILIWICK. Commissioner Ridgley Las No Con- trol Over Lafayette Park. Park Commissioner Ridgicy desires to set himself right in regard to Lafayette Park. Letters and protests have been sent to him about the manner in which he is not looking after Lafayette Park, or what is left of it. Mr. Ridgley explains for the benefit of those who are objecting that he has no authority whatever regarding Lafayette Park. That particular breathing spot is under the direct supervision of a commis- sion appointed under the provisions of the State statutes. This park, like Tower Grove Park, is apart from the geperal he g of city parks. The statute on page 467 of the session acts of 1864 establishes the park and the district, provides for an issue of $30,000 in bonds, a tax on the adjacent property, and the appointment of a commission to consist of the Mayor, the City Engineer, now Street Commissioner, and three eiti- zens living and owning real estate in the district. After the adoption of the Scheme and Charter in 1876, the Auditor wanted the Park Commissioner to approve all the La- fayette Park vouchers, which he refused to do. The matter was amicably submitted to Judge Lindley, then on the Circuit bench, and he decided that the part was entirely ont of the province of the Park Commis- sioner. Tower Grove Park in a similar way ex- ists under a contract between Henry Shaw and the city, and is out of the control of the Commissioner. Both parks Fst in pro- portion more money than any of the other city parks. HE TOLD HER THE TIME. But He Couldn’t Give Her Permanent Relief With a Clock. Dr. T. M. Finney of the Provident Asso- clation believes in strict adherence to the letter of the law, as a little story that is going the rounds will show. He is in charge of one of the tornado re- lief stations. : Some time ago an order went forth that in no case was any but temporary relief to be given to an applicant. Last Wednesday a woman came into Dr. Finney’s office. Among other things she wanted a clock. She told how. the tornado had “fixed her clock,” and said she could not get along without a timepiece. Dr. Finhey was thoughtful for a minute, Then he took down a copy of the commit- tee’s order and scanned it carefully. When he got through he folded it up, and eng to the woman, said: f Madam, it will be impossible to give you a clock. As we can only afford you tem- ate relief, I'll. do what I can for you, ll tell re what time it 18.“ ; He did, and then he sald, kifidly: “When. paver you want to know the time, just drop around. AGAINST JOHN SCULLIN. Wm. H. Harper Recovers $1,400 From the St. Louis Railway Man.

The couple were married in Oakland, St. Louis County, in and separat in January, 1886, when ‘the child was an in- fant. Suit was commenced in the fall of 1888 by Mrs. Rumsey for a divorce, alimony and the possession of the child, Helen, then 3 years of age. The beauty of the momer and child caused much sympathy for the laintiff’s side of the case. She charged — husband with desertion, cruelty, fail- ure to support and also with having men dog her footsteps. She obtained her decree and custody of the child and $2,500 alimon in bulk, in addition to an allowance of $ per month for the support of the child, Now that the child has reached the age when her education must be provided for, Mrs. Rumsey admits her inability to provide the means and restores the child to its father. ROHLFING’S FUNERAL. Remains of the Republican Politician Laid to Rest. 8 Rohlfing, who for years was a prominent factor in local Republican politics, was laid to rest in the. German Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery Friday. After a lin- gering illness, which affected both mind and dy, Rohlfing breathed his last Thursday evening at the home of his uncle at Alma, Mo. Over a year ago he suffered an attack of ralysis which affected his brain to Such an extent that he was compelled to gre up his deputyship in Circuit Clerk odgers’ office and go to his uncle’s farm to recuperate. Then his malady grew worse and death finally ended his sufferings Thursday. Rohlfing was 45 years of age and reared in St. Louis, Before he entered politics he he held a position with the Richardson drug Co. His first step in politics was as Cen- tral Committeeman for the First Ward. He was made Secretary of the Committee and when Dr. Frank was elected Coroner he became his deputy. From that office he stepped into a good position in the Circuit Clerk’s office. He Was a pronounced Filleyite, and up to the time he was prostrated stood as close to De Ole Man' as anybody in the State. Shortly before his health collapsed he was deposed from the secretaryship of the cen- tral organization and he felt the blow keenly. He was unmarried, and has but four relatives in St. Louis. The funeral services at the Zion Evan- gelical Church, Twenty-fifth and Benton streets, were largely attended by politicians and friends of the deceased. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. Two Suits Filed Against the Terminal Company for Discriminations, Thomas Kinnavey and William Ratican, coal merchants of St. Louis, filed in the United States Circuit Court to-day bills against the Terminal Railroad Association for a violation of the interstate commerce law, which pronibits, a. discrimination in favor of one shipper over another. They complain that the Terminal Railroad Association has been favoring the Consoli- dated Coal Co. by giving it a less rate for the carriage of coal than it gave them. From May, 1891, to October, 1892, Kinnavey Was engaged in selling coal in St. Louis. The defendant brought it from Illinois to this side and charged him 30 cents a ton, and he paid it. He alleges that this charge was unreasonable and unjust, for the Terminal Railroad Asociation 1 a like serv- ice for the Consolidated Coal Co., under substantially similar conditions, and gave it a special rate, or drawback, so that the cost to it was from Y to 2% cents a ton. Mr. Kinnavey figures up that he has been damaged in the sum of $4,136.09, for which, with interest, costs, etc., he asks judgment. William Ratican’s complaint is similar to Mr. Kinnavey’s. He handled; however, somewhat less coal, and he sues to recover only $3,849.56. on suits were filed by F. A. Wind and G. B. Drummond. ANOTHER RATIFICATION. — Probable That the Kerens Orowd Will Hold One July 4. The anti-Filley wing of the Republican family has not yet decided what it will do in the way of ratifying McKinley’s nom- ination. It was the understanding Friday that Col. J. G. Butler, the Chairman of the Mercantile Club Committee, would issue a call for a meeting about Saturday. In view of the partial failure of the Filley meeting at Music Hall Thursday .night, the argu- ment is advanced that another ratification is desirable, The Filleyites are disgusted with their ill-luck and insist they would have had ten thousand people if the ele- ments had been less stormy. They are not Willing, however, to participate in any dem- onstration that National Committeeman Kerens has a hand in arranging. The Mer- cantile Club Committee; when it does get to- gether is expected to call a ratification to be held in the Convention Auditorium, July 4. HERE’S A NEW ONE. Judge Decides That a Han's Wagon Has No Right to Break Down. William Sheridan was driving along at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets Thursday afternoon, when his wagon, loaded with slate belonging to the Hayden Slate Co., e down. fn block on the Fourteenth street division of the Lindell Ene was the result, and traf- fic was mpeded for about ten minutes. The moto n and conductors became impatient and several of them assaulted Sheridan and threw part of the slate into the street. Patrolman sorry Hickey succeeded in ar- resting William Thomas, 8 motorman, but Judge Peabody held that Sheridan’s wagon had no right to break down, and he or- dered Thomas’ release.

INTEREST NOT GREAT. Politics Overshadowed by the zontest for National Supremacy Going on Within the Party. he Democratic City Central Committee s called ward primaries for Aug. 1 for » elemtion of delagates to the State nom- ating convention at Jefferson City, Aug. 5. It is somewhat curious and worthy of re- ark that the committee’s act has created > comment or apparent interest among the dliticians. This is perhaps due to the fact 3at interest in national politics. this year t this juncture overshadows State and lo- éal affairs. This time four years ago, the conditions were exactly reversed. Nobody was paying much attention to national pol- itics, but the entire town was fairly beside itself over the fight for the St. Louis dele- gation to the State Convention. The fact that the City Central Committee has submitted the issue to a direct vote of the people under the Ryan primary law in- dicates that no effort was made co fix the primaries for anybody. A total of 69 . win be elected, dis- r among the wards as follows: Eighteenth Ward Nineteenth Ward.......+-- 5946„65652. ſ7ůů * — 3 Pwentieth Ward 3 Pwenty-first Ward. 3 fwenty-second Ward 38 fwenty-third Ward ; 2 twenty- fourth Ward 8 twenty-fifth Ward 3 Pwenty-sixth Waraqaqadadaa 4 Pwenty- en oe * 'wenty-e t eres Teri When Chairman Hugh J. Brady was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter who, in his opinion, was the favorite in St. Louis for Governor he said: “Any expression of opinion by me on that 1 would be palpably unfair, and would be construed to mean that I intend to use my official position in the party to advance the candidacy of one good Democrat above another. I do not propose to use my position |, to aid or injure anybody in the contest and I see no possible advantage which any candi~ te can gain in the St. Louis primaries. verybody who wants to run a delegation in any ward can do so by depositing $50 ‘with the Board of Election Commissioners when the delegation is filed. The City Central Committee could not, “if iv woul, interfere revent this.” bare ries P Higgins, Chairman of the Board of Ries n Commissioners, talked somewhat ree, ently from Mr. Brady. Mr. “i id: rom the expressions of preferences as “avernor which I have heard 2 rep- ative ™ocrats in all parts of the br tate Treasurer Lon V. Ste- practically a walk-over in wernor. I don’t want it that officially I shall take any ne contest, and in saying what I said I merely ‘answered your question o who seemed to be the strongest candi- te ig St. Louis for Governor. I am neces- earily brought in contact with all sorts of politicians daily and they voluntarily tell me what is going on in their neighborhood. I have scarcely heard the name of any other that of Mr. Stephens. “T account for his apparently widespread popularity in St. Louis on the theory of the overwhelming strength among St. Louis Democrats of the free silver sentiment, which Mr. Stephens has done so much to lends he made in winging up the airs of the Fifth National B of which he was the receiver. Then, too, as a successful business man, that element seems to be es- pecially favorable to him.“ A toe | 72 er, with characteristic care- lessness, s e primaries had been called for July 1 instead of August 1. This news- paper blunder has led to a eat deal of criticism of the City Central Committee, which seems wholly undeserved. LUCKY BOOKIES THESE.
