A Bell Telephone Superintendent Mis- led by His Naughty Wife and He Wanted Blood. There is a picture of Mrs. William Johnson hanging in the parlor of 1014 South Twelfth street. It is turned toward the wall. Mrs. Johnson no longer resides at that number and her picture was reversed by her husband Sunday morning when he learned that she had gone with a handsomer man. It was midnight Saturday when Mr. John- eon, who is a foreman in the employ of the Bell Telephone Co., reported at the Four Courts that his wife, Alice, had committed suicide. He was greatly agitated, and had traces of tears on his face. He knew his wife had committed suicide, he said, because she Was not at the house when he returned home at 7 o’clock Saturday night, and there Was a note on the dresser stating that she had started for th@river to jump in. Mr. Johnson had a different appearance when he called at the Four Courts again Sunday. He was still agitated, but he had fire in his eye, and a determined manner that might have made Charles Dittmar, hardware merchant at 2019 South Broadway, and lumber at 2114 South Broadway, quail had he met Mr. Johnson. It was not suicide that Mrs. Johnson had committed, declared Mr. Johnson. She had run away with Charles Dittmar. Considerable determination was displayed by Mr. Johnson, as well as a desire to wipe out in Mr. Dittmar’s blood the blot which had been placed upon thé Johnson escutch- eon He was compelled to be calm. He was ad- vised that it would be far better to sue Mr. Dittmar for alienating his wife’s affections and take all his money away from him. Mr. Dittmar is reputed quite wealthy. While Mr. Johnson was telling his trou- bles to the police, Mrs. Charles Dittmar, who lives over her husband's plumbing shop on South Broadway, was worryin over certain information she had receive concerning Mr. Dittmar’s actions. hile she was worrying, Mr. William Johnson came in, accompanied by a dark- red woman, apparently about 20 years old and Very vivaciou Mr. Johnson was Dittmar. He had not been home all Saturday night, Mrs. Dittmar stated, but had come in Sun- es po tage s went right out again. Mrs. Dittmar had learned, however, that Mra. Johnson was in Carondelet. Mr. Johnson immediate] opined that Dittmar was there also. e did not pur- sue him, though. Instead, he returned to his home. “Mr. Dittmar's blood would have been spilt 5 — his own carpets had he been there yesterday afternoon,’’ declared the young woman who accompanied Mr. Johnson, to a Post-Dispatch reporter. According to the same young woman Mr. Johnson last spring marched Mr. Dittmar through the streets for about fifteen blocks at the point of a revolver on about the same provocation: What took Mr. Johnson to the Dittmar abode Sunday afternoon and to the Four Courts for the second time during the morn- ing, was information he had received from the woman occupying the flat above. All Saturday night he had searched the city for his missing wife, losing more sleep than he can make ri in a week. Sunday morning the woman in the up- — flat asked him if he had found his wife. He sorrowfully replied no. “Maybe she is at her brother’s house? su ested the lady upstairs. * 8. looking for Charles ‘She's got no brother,“ replied Mr. John- on. “Well, he’s been coming to see her about four times a week ever since last spring, anyhow.“ That can't be, because 1 tell you she hasn't any brother,“ persisted Mr. Johnson. “But stay,” he added suddenly, did he come in a flat top buggy, drawn by a gray horse?“ That's the man,“ replied the lady up- stairs. Then Mr. Johnson went to the Four Courts and from there to the Dittmar abode. He was at the Four Courts again Mon- day morning at 9 o’clock, but he ‘had found neither Mr. Dittmar nor Alice. The young woman who accompanied Mr. Johnson to Mrs. Dittmar’s unday was at Mr. Johnson’s flat Monday morn- ing.

Alice was all right. He was as to her as a man could be. He made about $150 a month, and every week when he'd get his salary he'd give her every cent except $1. If he wanted 10 cents more during the week, he’d have to go to her for it, and he never made her account for a cent. Just a little while she got tired of her cook stove and he bought her a gasoline stove. Then she got tired of that and he paid $25 for a new gas range. “And in spite of it all, she was always talking about suicide. She used to come over to our house and talk about it. “Saturday night late Mr. Johnson came over and said Alice had killed herself. I laughed at him. “Why, she hasn’t got the grit, said I, “Sunday morning he found out I was right. The lady upstairs told him about Alice’s brother and he knew who it was. “No, I won't tell you the man’s name, Well, I might as well. It’s Charles Ditt- mar. He's been coming here all the time. This morning Mrs. Dittmar came over here and told Mr. Johnson and myself that she was sure Mrs. Johnson was in Carondelet. As a matter of fact, Alice has been out every afternoon this week furnishing a house in Carondelet. I've been through the same thing my- self,“ added the unknown. I stood it four years, and then I decided to come home. You can see I’ve got a pretty flery temper. I took boxing lessons last year, and I guess I’m a match for most anyone. Oh, I had my reasons for taking boxing lessons. There's Alice’s picture on the wall,“ re- marked the unknown. If you'll turn it, you'll see how pretty she 1s.“ The reporter turned the picture and a beautiful face was revealed. Mrs. Johnson, who is 23 years old, is fair and has black hair. The hair in the picture was golden. But it was a picture of Mrs. Johnson. Perhaps the peroxyde of hydro- gen has worn off the original since the picture was taken. It is turned to the wall sure enough,“ remarked the reporter. Well, can you blame Mr. Johnson?“ in- quired the unknown. The reporter called at Mrs. Dittmar's home. He was assured that neither she nor Mr. Dittman was in. There was no one in the plumbing shop. A flat-top buggy, to which a bay horse was attached, was standing in front of the hardware store. The reporter was told within that Mr. Dittmar had come to the store early in the morning, but had gone out again. It was not known where he was nor when he would return. Mr. Johnson was not to be found at his home nor at the Bell Telephone office Monday morning. A DYING VOLCANO. Prof. Todd’s Interesting Discovery in the Bad Lands. SIOUX CITY, Io., July 27.—Prof. J. E. Todd, State Geologist of South Dakota, who recently left Vermillion in charge of a geo- logical surveying party for a tour of explor- ation in the Black Hills and vicinity, is sending back reports of much interest con- cerning the discovery of what looks like an extinct volcano on San Creek, in the Bad Lands, not far from Hermosa. Near the point where the creek empties into the White River is a hill eighty feet in height. This hill, he states, vibrates and groans al- most constantly. The men living in the vicinity are given as authority that it has once or twice trembled so violently as to overturn wagons and throw down persons standing upon it. About half way up its side is a bed of volcanic ashes, between ten and fifteen feet in depth. Another peculiar formation reported is that of a valley near Pine Ridge, in which are numerous shifting dunes. They are believed to change their positions with every change of the wind and are receiving much attention from the surveying party. It is expected that the ae of the expedition will be of great value, KNOCKED HIS EYE QUT. Frightful Accident at a Youngstown Base Ball Game. , YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 27.—While watching a game of ball yesterday, Oscar Gilchrist was struck in the eye by a foul fly with such force that the eye was knocked into a pulp and fell out of his head. It rolled down over his cheek and fell to the ground, THE WEATHER. Fair Monday Night—Cooler, With Thunderstorms Tuesday.

STEPHENS SURE - OF NOMINATION. SUFFICIENT INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSURE THIS RESULT. LESUEUR AND SEIBERT, TOO. General Gossip and Speculation Re- garding Candidates Before the State Democratic Convention. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 27.—It is generally conceded by all well posted poli- ticlans that Col. Stephens will receive the nomination for Governor on the first bal- lot. Up to Saturday evening forty-two counties had instructed for him. He has now 23 instructed and pledged votes, not counting the sixty-seven delegates in St. Louis, which are not contested. This gives him a total of 310 votes, or forty-three more than enough to nominate him. Seventy-one doubtful and opposition delegates have been selected, with 154 more yet to be selected. The convention will be composed of 535 say Mr. Stephens will receive at least 100 votes, giving him on the first ballot more than 400 votes. Mr. Ball has instructions only in Pike, his home county, and Maj. Waddill has secvred instructions only in Daviess County. St. Francois County selects delegates to- day. In this county Mr. Stephens met with the opposition of Hon. M. L. Clardy, attorney for the Missouri Pacific Railway, and the county is in doubt. Cass County selects delegates to-day. The fight was bit- ter in this county against Mr. Stephens, headed by Hon. Robert Railey, attorney for the Missouri Pacific Railway. At this writing indications are that Mr. Stephens captured the delegation and it is possible he may defeat Mr. Clardy in his own home this afternoon. Mr. Stephens had the opposition of Sena- tor Goodykoontz in Washington County and Senator Orchard in Howell County. Sena- tor Orchard secured a position on the del- egation and is making a very active and bitter fight on Mr. Stephens throughout the State and will keep it up till the nomination is made. . It is practically conceded that Messrs. Lesueur and Seibert will both be nominated on the first ballot. Mr. Seibert has ac- tive opposition, but his opponents have not 1 able to make much headway agalnst m. The fight is an interesting one for Attor- ney-General between Judge Crow and Mr. Jourdan. Jourdan is making extravagant claims, but it is not thought he can se- cure the nomination. Friends of Judge Crow claim his nomination by % to 6 ma- jority. Judge Bolte of Franklin County seems to be a favorite for Lieutenant-Governor. He is a prominent German, and it is would add great strength to the ticket. Mr. Connelly seems to lead for- Commissioner. It is claimed that he is @ good “stumper,” and could do telling work in the field for the ticket when nominal! = delegates. Of the 154 yet to elect it is safe to ‘Louis Counties, when 57 delegates will be Selected. — „ : CROW’S CLAIMS. Friends Figure Out That He Is Certain of Nomination. Special to the Post-Dispatch. f JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 27.—Jeffer- son City friends of Judge E. C. Crow, can- didate for Attorney General, desire to make this statement of his strength, now ascer- tained in the State Convention: „An analysis of the delegate vote elected to date shows that Judge Crow has 245 in- structed and pledged votes. This is out of a total of 337 delegates elected. It leaves the Judge 23 votes short of the necessary majority, 198 delegates yet remaining to be selected. It is considered a safe venture that Judge Crow will secure a total of not much, if any, less than 400 votes in the convention, and his nomination is now a practical certainty.“ EIGHT CENTS A BUSHEL. What Oklahoma Farmers Will Get for Their Corn. EL RENO, O. T., July 27.—Corn this year in Oklahoma will be so plentiful that it probably will not bring more than 8 cents a bushel. Aside from a few districts where the crop was injured by hail an unpre- cedented average yield is reported and it is thought that there will be a surplus of almost half a million bushels in the Terri- tory to ship. SUED FOR DAMAGES. Shannon Claims Her Husband - Slandered Her. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, In., July 27.—Mrs. Mary Day Shannon has instituted an action of slander in the Circuit Court against her husband, Wiliam M. Shannon, and places her wounded affections at $10,000. Some time ago Shannon sued his wife for divorce, naming one Dan Sullivan, a janitor at the State-house, as co-respondent. The suit was dropped by Shannon, fearing he could not substantiate his charges. Now his wife demands reparation. The suit is one of spice and will attract a large audience, ay CASTILLO INSULTED.

About two months o her hus- band burst a blood vessel and died sud- denly. McGuire went to 1 r to hel his sister in settling up the estate, an two weeks ago he returned East. They tried to induce him to wait and spend a week in camp with them, but his business would not permit it. Had he remained he would undoubtedly have met the fate of his sister and the éther campers. 892 JAMES d. BLAINE ON SILVER. Extract From a Speech Delivered in the United States Senate, Feb. 7, 1878. „ 9 to tens of thousands. als should be money. ment, no than r d . . ˙² 0 “I believe the struggle now going on in this country and in other countries for a single gold standard would, if successful, produce widespread disaster in and throughout the commercial world. The destruction of silver as money, and establishing gold as the sole unit of value, must have a ruinous effect on all forms of property except those invest- ments which yield a fixed returnin money. Those would be enormously enhanced in value, and would gain a dispropor- tionate and unfair advantage over every other species of property. If, as the most reliable statistics affirm, there is nearly seven billion dollars of coin or bullion in the world, very equally divided between gold and silver, if is impossi- ble to strike silver out of existence as money without results that will prove distressing to millions and utterly disastrous “I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the constitution, indeed, the money of the American people -n- terior to the constitution, which the great organic law rec- ognized as quite independent of its power was conferred on Congress to declare that either met- Congress has, therefore, in my judg- power to demonetize silver to demonetize gold—no power to @emonet- ize either any more than to demonetize both. Few persons can be found, I appreRend, who will maintain that Congress possesses the power to demonetize both gold and silver, or that Congress could be justified in prohibiting the coinage of both, and yet in logic and legal construction it would be difficult to show where and why the power of Congress over silver is greater than over gold—greater over either than over the two. If, therefore, silver has been demonetized, I am in favor of remonetizing it. If its coinage has been pro- hibited, I am in favor, of ordering it to be resumed. If it has been restricted, 1 am in favor of having it enlarged.” ü» Ey Pre „ 4 My RE FET He here EINE — own existence.

The Democrats and Populists Are to Join Forces. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 27.—Relative to fusion of Kansas Democrats and Populists, ex-Congressman William A. Harris is quot; ed as saying: “The Kansas plan is for the Populists in the State Convention at Abilene, August 5, to indorse the Bryan and Sewall electors whom the Democrats will name at Hutchin- son the preceding day. “It is generally understood that there will be fusion in Kansas this year, although there have been no conferences on the sub- ject, and consequently no plans have been formulated, but fusion is in the air. We will nominate our candidates for State officers and telegraph the Democrats the result. They will indorse our nominees, and we will indorse theirs.”’ Ex-United States Senator John Martin approves of the plan as far as it goes. He, however, would have conference commit- tees appointed by the Hutchinson and Abl ene conventions to arrange the details. Populist ex-Governor Liewell:ng of Kan- sas, in a published interview, also ap- proves of the plan of fusion. United States Senator William A. Peffer, interviewed as he passed through the city en route home from the St. Lou's conven- tion, safd: The mass of the Populist party wishes to see William J. Bryan the next President and no matter what differences of opinion may arise, nothing can prevent him from carrying every Southern State. He will also carry every Western State.“ He added slowly, He wili carry Kansas by 50,000—50,000 majority.” : — 2 — TREAT THEM AS ENEMIES. be left cam- Policy to Be Pursued Toward Gold Standard Democrats. Special to the Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 27.—The free silver leaders of Indiana say that they pro- pose to treat the sound money campaign, to be inaugurated by the nomination of a national ticket, precisely as they treat the Republicans. They will ignore the gold standard speak- ers’ meetings and will advise free silver men to stay away. They will regard all sound money ‘men as bolters from the organization. Wherever meetings are advertised the silver leaders will send agents into the locality and re- uest their constituents not to attend. The ree silver editors will not give notice of sound money meetings, and in all re- spects the sound money men are to be treated as enemies. Such a policy, the leaders say, will give gold standard speak- ers Republican auditors only, and Demo- crats will soon be driven away from them entirely. BAD POLITICS. Mantle and Hartman Agree as to Wat- son’s Nomination. BUTTE, Mont., July 27.—Senator Mantle and Congressman Hartman have arrived here. Both say they support Bryan because he is a bimetallist, not because he is a Democrat. When the question is settled they will be Republicans in all things once more. “While I deplore that Populists put up another ticket,“ said Mr. Hartman, “yet I think that in thirty days there will be but one bimetallic ticket in the fleld. I think Watson will allow his name to be withdrawn. The ticket from a point of ood’ politics must be Bryan and Sewall. n the second thought Watson and the aaa nominated him must concede Mr. Mantle spoke on the same line, and said: I regard the action of placing an independent ticket in the fleld by the Popu- lists very bad politics, as the Populist par- ty has been crying for free.coinage so many years, louder than others, It is one of their cardinal principles of faith. I believe the vast majority of the Populist party is hon- est and sincere in the advocacy of bimetal- lism, consequently I believe influence will be brought to bear to induce Watson to withdraw.”’ IN GREENE COUNTY. — — — The Contest for Instructions IS Be- tween Stephens and Waddill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., July 27.—The Greene County Democratic Convention is in session to-day and will elect eight delegates to the Jefferson City convention and eight to the St. Louis Judicial convention. William Bar- e of Ash Grove was selected for Tem- porary Chairman and the committees, ap- ointed, after which the convention ad- ourned until afternoon. The fight is be- tween Waddill and Stephens, and while the contest seems close, the indications are that the delegation will be given to Stephens. John O'Day is opposing Waddill, whose cause is being championed by L. H. Murray. HANNA AND HARRISON. The Ex-President Refused to Submit to Dictation. 0 CLEVELAND, O., July 27.—The relations between ex-President Harrison and Mark Hanna are strained. It is said that Hanna wrote Gen. Harrison outlining the position for him to take in public epeeches. He said that silver was to go to the rear and tariff to be made the issue. Harrison re- ty drily that the currency was already he main issue and the tariff was side- tracked. He said he was going to Adiron- dacks, and the inference is that he will not take a very active part in the campaign. BRYAN AND JONES. A Conference Held Between the Nomi- nee and the Chairman. LINCOLN, Neb., July 27.—Senator James K. Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee, arrived from St. Louis Sunday morning and held a long conference with Mr. Bryan. When it was over Mr. Bryan said there was nothing to give out. “We have been discussing plans, but we have decided upon notaing that can be giv- en to the publie,“ said Mr. yw Are Senator Jones departed at 9:16 o’clock for Jefferson City to consult with Governor pone of Missouri before proceeding to his ome. Governor Holcomb returned from the St. Louis Convention and was a party to the conference for an hour or more. M’KINLEY WILL SPEAK. Campaign to bpen at Columbus, O., Aug. 12.

Relations of Great Britain With Her Various Colonies. LONDON, July 27.—The Times this morn- ing comments on the receipt of a cabie- gram from its Melbourne correspondent, reporting that the Hon. R. G. Reed, Premier of New South Wales, thinks that a zoll- verein between England and her colonies would be impossible, because the clashing of selfish trade interests would tend to destroy the present loyalty, and the zoll- verein might unite the rest of the world in a hostile combination with the new and substantial motive of revenge. “Only Canada, among the colonies, says the Times, “is really desirous of a zoll- verein, and as the conditions of trade with her are altogether artificial, it behooves us to diagnose more closely the cause which procera the suggestion of a zollverein efore consenting to a change in the whole fiscal system of the empire. It will be strange if the Laurier Government, pledged as it is to the traditions of free trade, does not place aay ned reliance upon the relief obtainable by improved steamship and cable services than by creating obstacles in the erection of new tariff walls between Great Britain and her neighbors. This may do us a vital injury and restrict our relations with foreign countries.” ALL FOR RHODES. But Cape Colony’s Leading Men Were Not Present. LONDON, July 27.—The correspondent of the Times at Cape Town says that a crowd- ed, enthusiastic meeting has been held in favor of the reinstatement of Cecil Rhodes as managing director of the British Char- tered South Africa Company, but that most of the leading and influential people of the colony were absent from the meeting.

The Texas “Middle of the Road” delegates, who were obstreperous to the last in the Populist convention, are still on the war- path. Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock Col. Miiton Park, who, next to “Stump” Ashley, made the most noise in the four days’ convention, called on Chairman Butler at the Lindell Hotel. f a He had come for an answer to the ad- dress which the bolting Middle of the Road” men sent to the new National Com- mittee Saturday night. Col. Park sent his card up to Senator Butler’s room, but becoming impatient at the delay went up stairs after it. Before disappearing up the stairway he said: „Texas is still in the ring, and we are not disfigured, either. “What do we intend to do if we don't get what we want? “Why we will go back to Texas and raise Old Ned. We will give the Republicans the electoral ticket and we will take the State ticket for our share of the fruit. “Yes, sir, we intend to beat that prize- fighting Governor and give the electoral vote of Texas to McKinley. We demand a Populist ticket, top and bottom; we have told these Bryan people that we would be willing to take second place if they would give us a Populist for first place. “If they won't do that, and we know they won’t we shall turn the electoral vote of Texas over to the Republicans.” Thus saying, Col, Park felt to ascertain if his pistol] pocket was on straight, and went upstairs to interview Senator Butler. Apparently the Chairman did not fall down at the feet of Texas and give it what it asked, for Col. Park came down in distinctly bad humor. JBWELL FLED. An Al Fresco Showman Chased Out of Oak Hill Garden by His Artists. Mr. W. Clarke Jewell, a gentleman with red side whiskers and limitless nerve, has once more broken into type. He does this once in ever so often, for the reason that most people get onto his curves after a very brief acquaintance, and do things that require publication, Mr. Jewell’s latest claim to fame is his ejectment from the Oak Hill Garden. He went in there with a shoe string, hoping to come out with a tannery. He barely saved his own hide. Peter Shick is the owner of the garden. His son-in-law, William Doerring manages. Mr. Jewell signed a contract with the latter to present al fresco, vaudeville there, He kept his contract, paying his perform- ers about 10 cents on the dollar of his prom- ise. Everybody else got what is vuigarly known as the “pickled finger.“ Sunday the performers kicked. Mr. Jewell showed up with his nerve freshly polished. They said no pay, no play. Mr. Jewell only laughed. “There will be a performance here,” he said, with a Napoleonic air of reserve power. Get off the grounds. I’ve hired an- other company.” The stricken members of the profession struck. They said some things that scared Mr. Jewell. He started to back away. They said some more things and he backed aster. 4 Then some one picked up a stone and the al fresco manager did a song and dance down the hot and dusty road, with a sketca artist, a juggler and a human corkscrew in pursuit. Mr. Jewell is trained to these seances and he won easily. He will not return to Oak Hill. Proprietor Shick is lying awake nights waiting for him. Virginia Excursions Via B. & O. 8.-W.

The marriage of Mark Connors and Laura Dilly was a failure from the start. They were married about three months ago, just why no one was ever able to tell, unless it was through professional affin- ity. Both are voluble purveyors of the daily papers, and for persistence in crying their wares are well known on the down- town corners. Mrs. Connors stands on the corner Sixth and Pine and her squeaking voice 4 the green shades over her we eyes ai- tract the sympathetic rs-by. Connors is a stalwart fellow, about 22 years old, much the junior of his co-worker and spouse, The very night that Connors married Miss Dilly at her home down at Third and Grattiot streets, and before the feast of beer, sandwiches and pretzels had con- sumed, a woman came to the house, called Connors out and hustled him off up the street with her. he was Connors’ mistress. It is claimed that she is an octoroon, but she denies this and declares that she is a “French lady.’’ Mrs. Connors finally corralled her wily husband, but he wag too elastic to hold or ngs his mistress had too strong a hold on him. Connors abandoned his wife and re- sumed his old dissolute ways. A few days ago he and his mistress quarreled and the redoutable Mark was cast adrift. Then he bethought himself of his once confiding Laura. He went down to her — Sunday night and begged to be taken ck. But the worm had turned. The affection Laura once lavished on Mark had changed to wormwood and gall. She despised him and told him so, and ordered him to be gone from her presence. Mark was discomfited. He had nowhere else to go; there was no soft berth in sight for him. He became indignant and started in to beat Laura into submission and he further disfigured and bruised her already unlovely countenance. A policeman came along and remonstrated with his club, but Mark snatched the biliy“ from him and pounded him. The policeman called for help and three of his able-bodied colleagues responded. They overpowered Mark and dragged him to the police station, where he was locked up. Monday in the police court Judge Pea- body fined Connors $200 for wife beating and thereby changed his residence and vocation for several months. BIG DAY ON CHANCE. Receipts of Wheat and Corn Largest of the Season. This has been a banner day on Change, the receipts of both wheat and corn being the largest of the season and showing an immense gain over the corresponding period 1 Wheat, 182,682 bushels, e figures are: a ’ against 140,181 in 1895; corn, 261,620 bushels, against 23,765 in 1896. The phenomenal increase in corn receipts is attributed to the cut rats on that cereal now in force on Western roads, the purpose being to st:mulate shipments. The increase in wheat is ascribed to the fact that St. Louis has for weeks been relatively the highest wheat market in the West, at one time selling K cent over Chi- cago and being within % cents of that mar- ket Monday. The fight between the longs and the shorts over No. 2 hard wheat, which has heretofore been described in the Post-Dis- patch, has resulted in a victory for the Shorts.“ The wheat now being received is not only classed as No. 2 hard” but the exporters who kicked against it are now willing and glad to accept it.

CHICAGO, July 27.—William Henry Smith, late General Manager of the Associated Press, died at his home in Lake Forest at 8:30 this morning. He had been sick for several days with pneumonia. He was born in Columbia County, N. Y., Dec. 1, 1833. His parents moved to Ohio, where he had the best educational advan- tages the State afforded He was a school teacher for a time and next a tutor in the Western College. Later he became the as- sistant editor of a weekly newspaper in CincinnatL At the age of 22 Mr. Smith had risen to the position of editor. At that time he was also doing work for the Hterary reviews. At the beginning of the civil war he was engaged on the Cincinnati Gazette, and took an active part in raising troops and Ar supplies, and through the me- dium of e press did much to strengthen the Government. He was largely instru- mental in making John Brough Governor of Ohio; he afterwards became the Gov- ernor’s Secretary and later was elected Sec- retary of State, being re-elected in 1866. (Mr. Smith retired from office and became the managing editor of the Evening Chroni- cle. He was obliged, however, to desist from such exacting work on account of Ill health. In 1870 he became manager of the Western Associated Press, having head- quarters in Chicago, Several years later, 72 the personal request of President ayes, he accepted the office of Collector of Customs at Chicago. uring his term of office he was instrumental tn bringing about many needed reforms in the customs department. In 1883 he again became ac- tively engaged in Associated Press work, in January that year he effected A consolidation of the New York Associated Press, taking the managership of the united systems. Mr. Smith was a student of historical sub- — and was the author of The St. Clalr apers,“ two volumes, Cincinnati, 1882. He „ AMUSEMENTS. By limiting the evidence to a citation of the box office receipts and the fact that this is a Presidential year, it might easily be demonstrated that the erstwhile popular theory that Presidents and great theatrical successes are not made the same season was correct. The summer show business has not been remunerative this season. The at- tendance generally has been light and, with probably not more than one exception, the St. Louis summer resorts have not paid ex- penses. To those who reflect that there is generally more than one cause for every re- sult, it is clear that the political excitement has had a very small part in the hard luck of the amusement purevyors. Some people have neglected light opera and al fresco vaudeville for the sterner joys of the ward meeting, but the number is small and is probably overbalanced in St. Louis by the advantages derived from the unusually large influx of visitors in the city. The weather has had its effect. Beginning with the Big Wind, on May 27, there has been a series of atmospheric disturbances, each of which ate a hole in the profits of the showman. It has been a remarkable summer meteorologically. No man could feel secure without an umbrella and a fan and the prudent pergon carried a map show- ing the location of cyvlone pits. nother reason for the falling off in . 4 2 5 A ce > CC * 1 yo its uaa „ at to — N A poe id 1 8 x H 2 > 0 y * * 1 5 8 . — * 8 3 nd ~ 4 2 5 ‘ * ; eho SE ; 4 \ 1 as ; 4 4 — a 0 7 . a ‘ S * * 2 ' 4.

Taken all round it has been a season of bad luck for summer amusements. but the prospects are brightening and the ict 2 showman may yet reap his re- ward. The regular theaters open about the first of September. There will be three first- class houses and four doing business at popular prices, to say nothing of ihe free and easies. The Chimes of Normandie,“ Blanquette’s 8 three-act opera, will be given at Uhrig’s Cave Monday night. The beautiful music will be interpreted by Messrs.

William Garen will be the manager again this season and will do all in his power to make it the leading popular price house in this city. Many of the lead- ing novelties of the season in the theatrical world have been booked for Havlin’s.

The good fortune of this latter circumetance she owes to Frank J. Hackman, a young real estate man, who lives at 3732 Cook avenue. Miss McBride fell into the river, and Mr. Hackman fished her out in the most approved melodramatic way. Sunday morning a party of St. Louis young le went to Clifton Terrace. This resort is on the Illinois shore, near Alton, The party consisted of Miss McBride and an, Miss Mary McAuliffe of 2920 Gamble street, James Prendergast of 8147 Church road, James 8.

They spent the morning around “The Tav- ern,“ took their dinner there, got real ho and tired bowling and playing tennis and wound up by going down to the river to watch the bathers. McBride was bent on going in. The water was full of ladies and gentle- men in bathing costumes, and it did look so inviting, but the St. Louis party finally decided to content themselves with watch- ing the others. But Miss McBride got in all right. She made up her mind that she would see as much of it as possible, so defying the freckles and the tan, marched out on the low wharf or landing. The water splashes up on the end of th but wet feet and a slippery foothold h no terrors for the spirited young woman.

Plunging in he grabbed the drowning girl, quite regardless of the proprieties. She responded with an alacrity and a warmth of feeling that under other circumstances would have chucked him into the seventh heaven of bliss instead of driving him to the panic-stricken conclusion that he was about to die a watery death. The couple spluttered and splashed and kicked around in a most desperate fashion for a space of thirty seconds that seemed like a month, and then some of the life- savers came to their rescue and pulled them out, scared but unhurt. Poor Miss McBride was a sight. Her beautiful pink shirt waist was melted. Her skirts, dr pping with muddy water, hun 7 on her an to der wi an affectionateness that was embarrassing. She was quickly hurried to “The Tavern,” where the proprietor’s wife furnished her with garments until her own wet things could be dried. Hackman was not so fortunate.

They treated the accident as a good joke and thanked their lucky stars that it was not serious. wie 4 Eas 5 e 8 vegetable Compound in my family ten te health, and recommend it to everybodßx I meet who needs it.”—Mas.

CITY DEPARTMENT BOSSES BE-, COME ECONOMICAL. WALBRIDGE WAS THROWN DOWN But the Wave of Economy Is Purely Coincidental and the Result of Chagrin. The Springfield convention is over, and Walbridge is no longer a gubernatorial pos- sibility. Several wards where office holders are supposed to be leaders failed in their politi- cal duties, so it is suddenly discovered that there are too many employes on the city pay rolls. It is a strange coincidence, and that is all, if the statements made by the departmental officers are to be believed. They state as a fact that the reason for the general shortening of forces is that there is not enough money to warrant carrying so many men on the rolls. The Street Department will begin to econ- omize by letting out about 60 per cent or more of its dey laborers in cleaning and macadamizing. There have been 18 gangs, and there will be only four. The Health Department has awakened to the fact that it has too many sanitary in- 7 tors on the rolls and that some of 1 must go if the 22 is ex- pected to last through the year. None of the heads of these departments are very clear in their explanations as to why they did not see all these things before. They claim that cyclone work made it necessary to keep the men on until now. The cyclone was made to cover a multitude of political appointments until such time as they were of no further use. Secretary Mitchell of the Health Depart- ment said: “I think we will have to let some men out because the appropriation bill will not give us enough money to jus- tify our keeping them. Politics cuts no figure in it really. It is only that we have not money enough. The work is there to be done, but there is not enou do * The department which will suffer most is the Sanitary Department, where most of — ——— ON A — — as oe er a 8 : fad 1 0 * N am 2 — 3 5 a * — * tee — 1 ²˙ůꝛůe Ü „„ K „ͤ„ „ the ward workers have found berths up to this time. The situation in one or two of the other departments is rather funny. Melis of the Street Department and Sol Balhm, also of the Street Department, have nearly a thousand men under their con- trol in one way or another, yet none of these with such opportunities could carry their wards for Walbridge. There is a large feeling of disgust among the City Hallers over this fact because it reflects more or less upon the political ca- pacity of the entire municipal push. They think it shows either bad work or a disposition to go over to Filley. Dr. Starkloff said regarding his depart- ment, There is no politics in it as far as I am concerned. I have not a man who is not loyal and would not have one at any time. The fact of the matter is the As- sembly is cutting us down $8,000 and we must begin to save.” When asked why this was not all known before and the economizing commenced some time back he said: “Because we did not know it. When we went away from here we were down for $43,000. When we came back we find they have cut us down to $35,000. It leaves us in a bad hole and we have to save any way we can.“ BOLTED M’KINLEY. ‘John A. Bingham of Ohio Will Vote for Bryan. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CADIZ, O., July 27.—John A.

When the Post-Dispatch last week pub- lished an extract from James G. Blaine’s Speech on silver, a number of letters were ved from various parts of the coun- stating that its authenticity was a. We republish the quotation to- day. It has been verified as an extract from a speech delivered by Mr. Blaine in the United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1878, and will be found in the Congres- sional Record of that year. The surprise of sundry Republicans at this utterance of Mr. Blaine is amusing. We have already published extracts from speeches of Senator Sherman, and in to- morrow's Post-Dispatch we shall publish an extract from a similar speech made by Speaker Reed to his Maine constit- uents as late as the fall of 1894. We shall also, in a day or two, publish a quotation of precisely similar import from an offi- cial campaign book issued in 1891 by the National League of Republican Clubs. These extracts could be multiplied in- definitely. It should be borne in mind that until June, 1896, when the Republican party adopted its Wall Street platform, ho political party in the United States had ever committed itself even by im- “lication to the single gold standard. d until Secretary Carlisle delivered his zech in Memphis in the spring of 1896, o public man in America of either party had ever committed himself to the single gold standard.

Under the laws of nations they are the only lawful and recognized belligerents in the con- flict, but the evidence is overwhelming that they are not belligerents under the rules of civilized warfare. Betting aside all question of American interest in the final outcome, and all question as to what form of government should prevail in the island, it is time for the United States to interfere on grounds of humanity. There is no warfare in Cuba. There is predatory butchery, rapine and incen- _@larism by two organized bands of guer- rilias. Every Christian nation in Europe is equally interested with the United States in terminating such a struggle. But we being nearest the scene shoifid take the initiative. Our duty is most imperative.

There was an activity in city and suburban real estate such as promised great things for the future. Everything was hope- ful and the people were full of bustling activity. Within three months, gold syndicate statesmanShip has changed all that.

Within a single year The destructive effect of the cyclone on the property of the city was nothing to that of the complete establishment of the gold standard, the consequent violent contraction of the money of final redemp- tion and the depreciation of all values incident thereto. Whatever puts up the price of gold forces down the price of labor and of all actual property.

This, of course, would be Socialism, for the holders of the nego- tiable warehouse receipts would expec* to exchange them for whatever they needed to supply their current wants. The Government would become the hold- er of all the wealth of the country. The Sub-Treasury plan has wisely been abandoned. WALL STREET AND PRICES. Special telegrams in all the Wall Street organs of Sunday announce a boom last week in the price of the more important stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The statement is made that this “gratifying” result is due to the action of New York and foreign bankers in loaning gold to the Treasury to pro- tect’”’ the gold reserve. Doubtless a boom in the price of Wall Street stocks was one object of the pro- tection.”” No such “protection” was offered when the reserve was much nearer the danger line than it is now, and when the heavy annual exports of cotton - were not so near at hand to bring gold to this country from Europe. The fact is the gold reserve is not, at present, in danger. The Post-Dispatch has already noted the advance in Wall Street stocks which followed the “‘loan to the Treasury.” The Vanderbilt road stocks, Burlington’s, Rock Island’s and Gould’s were the largest gainers. It ig interesting to com- pare these gains with the losses in the grain and provision markets. Corn on Saturday touched the lowest price of the week and almost the lowest in its his- tory. Oats, which have been phenom- enally low, went still lower. Wheat wus 5 cents a bushel lower than on the same day last year. In wool, “prices for the bulk of offerings were dull and weak.“ As to cotton, the reports say the calen- dar week in speculative cotton closed to- day with another let-down in prices.” Chicago reports of the cattle market speak of “the decline in prices recently established.“ All of which proves that a gold reserve is a good thing for Wall Street, but a bad thing for the producers of the coun- try’s wealth. _ 22 In every part of the country the reck- less use of firearms should be promptly punished. Beside the destruction of life there is every year a great loss of prop- erty through the random shooter. The shooting of a woman in New Jersey, praying on the grave of her child, is one of the latest of the achievements of the fool with a gun. This fool was celebrat- ing his birthday—an event which he must have believed to be of vast im- portance to the world, In his speech on Saturday to the glass- workers, Mr. McKinley informed them that the country is suffering. fearfully from industrial paralysis, and that his remedy is to levy more taxes, so as to put more money into the Treasury. And this is about the only remedy the Repub- licans have offered for the hard tines. —ů— —-— ame lee pene The rush of the gold sharps to keep the reserve in the Treasury until after the election has made the folly of the gold standard policy almost as conspicuous as if another issue of bonds had been ordered, 5 tt R There is not the slightest reason why the Bastern masses should do the bic- ding of a few men actuated by greed.

The Sentiment of the Conference Was for the ; As Outlined at the Brussels Monetary Con- ference, in 1892, by Sir G. Molesworth. Restoration of the White Metal on an International Basis. 7 there was appointed by President Harrison a commission to attend This Conference In the year 1892 the meeting of the International Monetary Conference at Brussels. began its sessions November 22, 1892. The Commissioners from the United States were William B. Allison, John P. Jones, James B. McCreary, Henry W. Cannon, E. Benjamin Andrews and Edwin H. Terrell. The instructions issued to these Commissioners by the President were as follows: Gentlemen: Reposing full confidence in your ability to properly represent the inter- ests of the United States at the Monetary Conference, called at the instance of this Government, to meet at Brussels on November 22, 1892, to consider the present condition of silver and what measures, if any, can be taken to increase the use of that metal in the 2 of the world, the President does not deem it necessary or desir- able to cumber you with detailed instructions as to your duties. „Therefore only general instructions will be aves, leaving much to your own oo ment and the developments of the conference tself. The main purpose which ih Government seeks to accomplish by this conference is to bring about a stable relation between gold and silver. It is the opinion of the President, and, as he believes, of the people of the United States, with singular unanimity, that a full use of silver as a coined metal at a ratio to gold to be fixed by an agreement between the great commercial nations of the world, would very highly promote the prosperity of all the people of all the countries of the world. For this reason your first and mst important duty will be to secure, if possible, an agreement among the chief commerical countries of the world looking to international bimetallism—that is, the unlimited coinage of gold and silver into pooner of full debt-paying power at a fixed rate in coinage common to all the agree- ng powers. You should not lose sight of the fact that no arrangement will be acceptable to the people or satisfactory to the Government of the United States which woul — any pos- sibility place this country on a silver basis while European countries maintain the sin- gle gold standard. ailing to secure international bimetallism, the next important duty will be to se- cure, if possible, some action upon the part of European countries looking to a larger — oF silver as a currency, in order to put an end to the further depreciation of that metal, To your wisdom, your wide experience and your knowledge of this important subject, as well as your intimate acquaintance with the feelings and sentiments of our own peo- ple, the President commits the interests of this country, feeling assured that you will not fail to guard them well. You will be expected to report from time to time the progress of the conference at Brussels, and you will be authorized to use the cable in case of urgency. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JOHN W. FOSTER, Secretary of State. The Prime Minister of Belgium, in his opening address to the Conference called at- tention to the importance of the subject to be considered in the following terms: The conference in which you are called upon to take part, has for its object the consideration of one of the most serious, complex and arduous problems which is pre- sented to modern society. * * It (money) touches all economic and social interests; it affects the commerce of the world, and is the real reason of more than one unex- plained crisis. * * * Currents of capital are always in a certain measure metallic currents. The decreased cost of nr and the more highly developed spirit of association which permit the formation of companies for enterprises in remote coun- tries only increase these currents. And thus, while it has changed the international function of money has greatly increased. At the same time the evil results of every monetary crisis are more and more acute, and it is, it seems, to an international agreement that we must look for the means of preventing them or moderating them, A declaration and programme was prepared by the representative of the United States and presented to the Conference. It outlined the considerations which led to the calling together of the Conference by the President of the United States, and em- bodied the following resolution: That in the opinion of this Conference it is desirable that some measure should be found for increasing the use of silver in the currency systems of the nations. Sir Rivers Wilson, for the delegation of Great Britain, accepted this resolution, as also did the representatives of France, Spain, the Netherlands and other nations, It is important to observe that with comparatively few exceptions the recognition was general in the Conference of a monetary evil requiring remedy. This feeling pervaded the entire Conference, and was forcibly expressed by many of the delegates, as will be noted from extracts from their remarks, which follow: Mr. de Rothschild of England said: The stock of silver in the world is estimated at some thousands of millions, and if this conference were to break up without arriving at any definite result there would be a depreciation in the value of that commodity which it would be frightful to contemplate, and out of which a monetary panic would ensue, the far spreading effects of which it would be impossible to foretell. M. Tirard, speaking for France, said: It is certain that a greater stability in the ratio would result in facilitating com- mercial relations, in binding the nations closer together and permitting them to ex- change their products as it suited them, to the satisfaction of all governments and to the greater profit of all individuals. Gen Strachey, delegate from British India, said: The Government of India has, during the last two decades, made many ineffectual attempts to protect itself against the effects on its currency of this continued fall in the value of silver in its relation to gold, and, notwithstanding the heavy burdens thereby entailed upon the country, has maintained the stiver standard in the one that circumstances might at length bring it some relief from the ever increasin ifficul- ties of its position. But no such relief has come and, on the contrary, the difficulties have become constantly greater until they are becoming, if they have not already be- come, real dangers, Bir Guilford L. Molesworth, the other delegate of the Indian Government, said: Our predecessors in the Paris monetary conference of 1879 and 1881 were almost unanimous in the opinion that silver must be rehabilitated. They only disagreed on the method of rehabilitation. Some were of the opinion that matters would right them- selves, whilst others considered that the remedy could only come by re-establishing the link that had existed between gold and silver prior to 1873. The opinion of the latter was undoubtedly correct. atters have gone from bad to worse. The proposal of the United States for the unrestricted coinage of silver concur- rently with gold by an international agreement was advocated by a number of tne del- Sir William Houldsworth, a delegate of Great Britain, said: A further fall in the level of prices would be a disaster. I frankly admit that, in my opinion, there will never be a permanent solution of this difficulty until we have an international bimetallic agreement. This opinion was supported by the delegates from the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. At the ninth session of the conference the discussion of bimetallism was closed. The general feeling then was admirably voiced in the remarks of M. De Osma, delegate from Spain, who, summing up the results of the conference, stated in substance that there was practically a unanimous desire to reach a tangible result for the remedy of the evils which were felt by all. He said: There has always been in our discussions a certain dominant and unmistakable character which is supported by the evidence of attitude more eloquently than by words, viz.: the presence of a general good will inspired by the existence of a crisis different degrees of intensity. Whatever personal sympathies t admit that very few of us have been able to agree with the stoic opinion which denies the existence of a crisis and concludes very logically that there is no need of looking for a remedy. That opinion ig too strongly contrasted with the 5 of some of our colleagues who are moreover themselves thoroughly con- noed fmpenitent monometallists. It disappears before the reiterated tions of statesmen who have described the evils Which are ruin- — 4 he agriculture, an — § va the industries of their countries, with a precision ose significance it is impossi to mistake. The accompaning diagrams were prepared by Sir Guilford L. Molesworth, delegate from British India. In presenting them to the conference he said: I beg to lay before the conference the accompanying diagrams which I have pre- pared; and in so doing I would call particular attention to diagram No. 4, because it 1 at a glance the instability of gold and the stability of silver, or, in other words, © dangerous illnesg of gold and the sound health of silver. = 1 * 8 „ „„erste x MORE THAN SILVER a — a onwere e477 =e „ & = 1 DIAGRAM NO. ?—Shows the relative production of gold in value measured by the production of silver.

Can You Supply the Missing Letters? D P NOW CYRUS WILL HAVE REVENGE. ELECTION COMMISSIONER SAUN- DERS TO PUNISH FILLEY. A BLOW AT THE MACHINE. War Made on Walbridge Will Result in No Filley Men Being Ap- pointed Judges or Clerks. “Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,” saith Cyrus. : This ia the virtual effect of the announce- ment of Election Commissiener William Flewellyn Saunders, Mayor Walbridge’s factotum, that in the appointment of Re- publican judges and clerks of election Central Committeemen will be ignored. In thus departing himself from the time- worn party custom, Mr. Saunders has dealt the Filley machine a body blow, the force of which it can not escape, and the effects of which it will poignantly feel for the next two years. The prerogative of naming the judges and clerkg for the precincts in their wards has been an undisputed one with Central Committeemen for years. It is not to be so this time with those of the Republican faith, and for this reason there is a deep-toned lament sent up from every member of Filley’s henchmen on the Central Committee. After all the packing of delegations and strangling of every man who undertakes to combat the machine, after taking his money to be voted for at the primaries, amounts to 4" a factional triumph. The vital thing is to have men on guard at the ballot boxes who will look sharp after the actual interests of the party and omit no trick that will insure the election of the ticket, This has always been Filley’s dearest card, and the more desperate the stake, the keener he has been to be sure of his tools for the work. Filley, with a disregard for the hereafter, ran rough shod over the puny forces of Walbridge in his attempt to have a Central Committee elected favorable to himself; in the selection of delegates to the State Convention he not only sprawled the Mayor on the floor but trampled on him, and at Springfield he squeezed the life out of his highest hopes. As the Republican member of the Election Board Mr Saunders has the selection of two judges and one clerk in each of the 426 voting precincts. These men are appointed for two years, and if Filley could add such a force to his machine it would make him invincible aga 2 dispenser and put him next to the ballot boxes, the vital point with him always. If there is a gos! man named for judge or clerk it will be because his preferences are so thickly veiled that neither Mr. Saun- ders or any of the Walbridge lieutenants can see through the disguise. The grimness of the situation les in the fact that there is no way for Filley to put the least obstruction in the way, except to appear in the Circuit Court and attack the personal character of Republicans. This is touchy ground and your Uncle Filley is — going about looking for quarrels of that nature. Mr. Saunders is determined in his course, as outlined in Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. J do not mean to ignore the Central Committeemen altogether,’’ said Mr. Saun- ders, I mean to say, however, that in the selection of judges and clerks that Com- mitteemen’s suggestions will be given no more weight than other good Republicans, I should qualify this by saying that not so much as any other Republican, for there are a few members on the present Repub- lican City Central Committee whom I have not the least confidence in. I know whereof I speak, when I say that there are mem- bers on that committee who have not the least regard for the sanctity of the ballot- box. It is a grave charge to make, but I know the men. „It would be 2 in me to let such men put in responsible places agents who of course would be of their own ilk. “The responsibilities of my position are too great, and the interests at stake too sacred in the eyes of the people to permit such —— te mane barter of their solemn on of opinion. 2 know that the osition I have assumed in this matter is distasteful to the com- mitteemen, as it curtails their prestige. I their remedy at the circumstances un nce- ment is made es it savor of political pique. It is noth of the kind. W. are acting under an entirely new law and former precedents have no bear- ing. So far as I am concerned I am going to subserve the best interests of the Re- publican party and the whole people in this matter. There shall not be any sell-out by Re- ublican judges or clerks if I can help it. Phere is abundant material from which to select decent, honorable citizens to serve as arbiters over the ballot boxes. I do not know all of them, but there are plenty of respectable Republicans in every precinct that do, and it is to them that I am sending circulars asking for recommendation of suit- able men. I have also sent circular blanks to each Central Committeeman asking them to send in a list of names. Their suggestions will be treated as other people's. “People do not yet - 4 reciate the im- portance of the duties o Jud es under the new election law.

The body of the floater found at the foot of Barton street Saturday forenoon by Joseph Meyer and Fred Schiller has not been identified as W. L.

There is a recital in its notice served on the @ccused to the effect that charges had been preferred, and what purported to be a copy thereof accompanied the notice, but if that were a fact the record itself should show it. “If a man is to be turned out of an office which he holds and not onty be deprived of its honors and emoluments, but aiso suffer in the aspersion of his character, there should be some known and authorized author of the prosecution. This is not a criminal proceeding, but it is akin to it in character. In the most trivial misdemean- Or a writ will not issue to bring the ac- cused before a magistrate unless some officer in his official character or some cit- en under oath prefer the complaint.“ The judge said that whether or not the commissioners would be authorized to pre- fer charges against Bristol: before them- selves was not a question in the case as at the hearing of their motion to pear as parties City Counselor Marshall indig- nantly declared that the commissioners were not the promoters of the prosecution. “For aught that rs in e record,” ‘gaid the judge, these so-called charges were but an anonymous communication upon which, in my judgment, the accused could not fairly be brought to trial.’’ Judge Valliant made the second point ainst the Commissioners’ record that the charges were not sufficient in law. The opinion said that before the accused could be convicted of violating an order of the Board of Managers or of failing to perform a duty which the board had imposed, the harges and specifications ought to inform = order of the board he had vio- The Judge then took up the first charge, incompetence, and held that the specifica- tions did not support it at all, being in themseives of the nature of charges unsus- tained by particular specifications. Of the specification supporting the charge of disobedience, the Judge said that if the Charity Commissioners had said to Mr. Bristol, “You have done those things waich you ought not to have done and have ieft undone those things which you ought to have done, they would have been scarcely less specific than they were. Bristol was directed to bear the costs of the certiorari proceeding, because the rec- ord did not show who instituted the charges against him. else that person would have to bear the costs. City Counselor Marshall. when he heard of Judge Valllant's decision in the Bristol Case, said: | “T have not seen the decision yet, but if it is against the city all I have to say is that we will carry it up to the Supreme Court. We do not propose to be put out of a case in such a manner without having ary show at all.“ Supt. Bristol was feeling very good over the matter and looked upon the decision as a complete vindication of his official con- duct while in office. He has drawn no pay for three months, but hopes to get his money from the Treasurer's office in a few days. The Mayor could not be found up to noon Monday and Secretary Clarkson was in his usual state of blissful ignorance as to the Monday to form a corporal’s g ‘ e corridors of the Lindell Hotel, which for a week had been the mecca of ambit orators, sure of a chance to make stump speeches, were deserted. , Upstairs Senator Butler, M Edger- ton, Committeeman Washburne of Massa- chueetts, J. Hugh McDowell of Tennessee and a few others discussed plans for the campaign. Senator Butler said that his plans were not yet matured, and he had nothing to say for publication. “T don’t believe in making a campal en- ney through the newspapers, d he, “although I appreciate the potency of the press. “As yet we have mapped out no plan of action, though, af course, we have discussed phases of the campaign.” “Has the Executive Committee discussed the question of withdrawal of either Sewall or Watson?“ a “That question will be answered in due time. Doctors often crowd around and give yeep) 4 geen and physic when time is réal- y a panacea for half the ills. “The American people are in the habit of settling things for themselves. Give them 80 days and they will solve the question.” When Senator Butler leaves here he will o to his home in North Carolina to rest — a short time before entering the cam- paign. The morning session of the two commit- tees, which was held in the gentlemen's parior at the Lindell Hotel, was confined exclusively to routine work. At its close Secretary Turner of the old committee stated that the Populists would have money enough to meet all bills, but that the surplus would not be large enough to cause alarm. ’ „We will not have to issue bonds in time of peace,“ said he, to maintain our credit, but we will not have any large sum left.“ At 8 o’clock the old Executive Committee met with the Citizens’ Committee to settle the terms of the contract made when St. Louis secured the Populist convention.

The conference was presided over by H. , Sanger of Detroit, President of the Michi- gan Association.

He is so badly burned about the head and body that those who have seen him say he can- not live without medical attendance. A physician was called to the house, but tpe patient fought him and declined posi- trvely to be treated. Nieman attempted to light the gaso- line stove for his mother Sunda right. The tank exploded and set fire to the wood- work.

CLEVELAND STRIKE ENDED. a long suspension of business. announced policy of the Stephens men was to prevent instructions and then claim a victory, while that of the Waddill forces was to secure an emphatic expres- sion in favor of their men. If no instruc- tions are adopted it, therefore, followed that the Stephens people can ustly claim a substantial victory, as the elegation to Jefferson City will be so divided that it cannot be enrolled with the ition. On the Appellate Judgeship, the feeling seems all on the side of Hon. J. Wesle Booth of Franklin County, and he will, doubtless, be instructed for without a struggle, or if instructions are not given because of the possible complications on the governor that might ensue, he can safely rely on the solid vote of the dele- gation at Uhrig’s Cave. Judge W. H. oye of the Court of Ap- ony mingled freely with the delegates, t vigorously denied that he was present in anybody’s interest. After the lapse of nearly an hour the committees reported and business was re- sumed by making the temporary organiza- tion permanent. Dr. Atwood made another speech when elected Permanent Chairman and predicted Democratic victory in November from Pres- ident to Township Constable. State ator Dunn of Lincoln County got in while Dr. Atwood was making his second speech, and applauded the orator with great eclat. Senator Dunn is a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor and says he is going to get there.“ At the conclusion of Dr. Atwood’s en- thusiastic speech somebody in the rear of the court-room sprang up and shouted: “St Louis County is for Atwood for Congress.“ The eloquent Doctor blushed and protested. He said that the district (the Tenth) was Republican by six or eight thousand ma- jority, and he realized that it would be an exceedingly hard task to beat Dr. Bartholdt, especially since there were so many German voters in the district, but if his friends gave him the nomination he would do his best to reclaim the district. This elicited wild applause. The Committee on Resolutions reported through Chairman Crews a hearty indorse- ment of the entire work of the Chicago Con- vention, and it was adopted unanimously. Delegates to the State Convention were elect as follows: First Legislative Dis- trict, Louis C. Nelson, Ernest Marshall, Leon De Leslie and James E. Hereford: al- ternates, Fletcher Garretson, August Lar- unesse, Frank Thompson and J. M. ates. Delegates to the Judicial Convention were elected as follows: First District, R. f Stevens, W. G. Schofield, James W. Settle and Jas. P. McKinney; alternates, Thos. F. Metcalf, Frank ounter, Humphrey 1 and Gabriel Lang. The convention at 12:30 took a recess for an hour while Bon Homme Carondelet and Meramec Townships, composing the Second District, were caucusing over the election of the other three delegates. The anti-Stephens — are claiming a victory. They have alrea elected two delegates Hereford and De Lisle, and say they will get two of the other three The result of the Second Legislative Dis- trict caucus for delegates to the State Con- vention was disastrous to Stephens, and caused him to lose the county. The three delegates are George B. Bowles, Phil Shaw, and Bryan O’Bear. Their alternates are: John A. Marcus, William Stafford and L. E. E To the Judicial Convention the Second District elected as delegates W. E. Kortcamp, Clint Taylor and Sylvester Watts. They are all for Booth. HE MUST HANG.

A Decision That She Was Not Navi- gated With Proper Care. LONDON, July 27.—The Board of Trade has decided that the loss of the steamship Drummond Castle off Ushant on June 16, resulting in the drowning of about 250 per- sons, only one passenger and two seamen being saved, was due to the fact that she was not navigated with 2 seamanlike care in view of the prevailing conditions.

CARROLLTON, Mo., July 27.—George Duncan, a negro, tried to criminally as- sault a.18-year-old girl who lives with the Widow Strathman, near Norborne. Blood- hounds tracked the man and he was cap- tured and put in jail here. A mob wanted to lynch him, but the excited men were outwitted by Deputy Cummings. THE MARKETS. ST. LOUIS, July 27. There is a diversity of opinion regarding the French crops among the agricultural papers of that country. be Paris Bulletin des Halles says the continued wet weather is feared to have damaged the crops and favors an estimate for a wheat crop of 320,000,000 bu, against 336,000,000 bu last year. The Marche Francais of July 6 says weather had become completely favorable and conditions for the crop could not be more favorable. Latest from Spain is that the wheat crop is turn- ing out satisfactorily in the central and northern provinces, but short elsewhere. The Hungarian Minister of Agriculture estimates the wheat crop of that country at 146,000,000 bu, against 142,000,000 bu last year, In some parts of England the wheat barvest be- an earlier this year than at any time previous in fty yéeats. Beer — 4 the crop at 60, - 000, bu, against 88,000, last year. Recent advices from the lower Volga region in Russia are that wet weather has caused some in- ury. Danubian ports exported 568,000 bu wheat, 128,- bu corn last week, against 636,000 bu wheat and 128,000 bu corn last week. a Barge shipments to New Orleans Saturday 89,500 bu wheat and 158,500 bu corn. Joe IAnebarger of the Chicago Board of Trade, was on the floor to-day. Joe puts wheat in a strong position by stating that he is a bull. The weather continues wet in England. Neb., wires that weather continues showery; a rsonal examination shows oats io fields are bela greatly damaged in shock. India shipped m wheat last week, where one rear ago 480,000 bu was shipped. Since April 1 that country has exported less than 2,900,000 bu against 10,400,000 bu for same period last year. oman is reported to estimate the winter wheat crop at 259, „000 bu and spring wheat at 147,- 000.000 bu, a total of 406,000,000 bu, which is far below his previous estimate and the last Govern- ment report.

P * . 94 1 8 AND TWO WOUNDED MYSTERIOUS ENCOUNTER BE- TWEEN NEGROES AND WHITES. CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD. Harry Harty Slain and Con Ryan and Sam Shelby Wounded on Lambdin Avenue. What was apparently a race war on Lambdin avenue early Sunday morning ter- minated in the death of one white man and the wounding of another and a negro. The police have not yet arrived at the facts in the case, but probably have as much evidence as can be gathered. Excepting the participants in the ‘affair there were no witnesses to it and the sur- viving principals tell different stories. Henry Harty, a laborer, 8 years old, single and living at 4316 Natural Bridge road, died at the City Hospital Sunday af- ternoon at 3 o'clock. Con Ryan, who ve the name of C. W. O’Brien, was shot in the calf of the left leg and Sam Shelby, colored, received four slight flesh wounds. Harty’s body was pierced by two bul- ets. e made no statement of how he was hot, but Ryan tells a story which is not agreed to by Shelby. Shelby is held a prisoner at the Sixth District Police Station, as is also Joseph Wilkerson, who was with Harty and Ryan. Ryan says that he and Wilkerson got on a car to go to Cornthwait’s saloon, in the vicinity of Natural Bridge road on Lab- adie avenue, On the car they met Harty and the three got off at Lambdin avenue. A crowd of negroes was at the corner and after the three white men had passed began shooting. Hyan says that he and his companions be- came frightened and ran into an alley in the rear of a saloon, where they remained about fifteen minutes, when he ventured out. After he had gone about fifty feet down the street he was followed by his companions. Wilker- son and Harty had no more than left the al- ley,* Ryan says, than he heard shooting back of him. He started to run across the street, but was shot in the leg while run- ning. Meld , the negro, gave himself up to the police Sanday afternoon. He says that he met George Washington, the colored bar- tender, in the saloon at Lambdin avenue and at the manner in which the manager has Natural Bridge road, and that Washington told him that there were three white men in the alley who had had a fight with some colored men and that if he passed there they might attack him. Shelby says that he remarked that he had to walk along there, and then examined his revolver, saying he would protect himself. As he passed the alley crossing, he says, one of the white men asked him the way to Cass avenue. He told them to go to St. Louis avenue and take a car. Then another of the white men began swearing at him, and suddenly they all be- gan shooting at him. He drew hig own revolver and got behind a telegraph. pole and shot four times at the white men. He says that the bullets from his revolver killed Harty, but he claims he was protecting himself, Wilkerson says that just as he and Harty and Ryan passed the saloon two shots were fired by some one in front. He says that they then dodged into the alley and in about five minutes came out. They started to go on, when a negro rushed up behind them and called to them to stop. The negro, Wilkerson says, was the leader of about six others, who had been 8 in the saloon. The leader of the colored men began shooting and Wilkerson says he saw Harty fall and he ran. When he saw two polHcemen he 1 and the officer ran and caught Ryan. Shelby escaped, but gave himself up Sunday after- noon. Ryan, who had been shot in the leg, Wil- kerson and the two policemen picked Harty up, but he was mortally wounded and un- able to stand. A patrol wagon took Wilkerson to the Sixth District Station and conveyed Ryan and Harty to the City Hospital. Four of the bullets fired in the melee caused flesh wounds about Shelby’s body, but none of them are serious. Washington, the colored bartender at the saloon, says he was closing up the place at 1 a. m., when he heard two shots out in front. He went out, but could see no one there, but in the alley in the rear he saw three white men. He supposed they were waiting for some negroes, and when he saw Shelby coming along he warned him not to pass the alley. Before the final and fatal shooting had occurred Washington had closed up his place and gone home. Coronor Wait will hold an inquest on the body of Warty Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. The police found two 32-calfber revolvers in the grass in the front yard of 3013 Labadie avenue, the home of George Collins. Bach had been fired three times. In the pockets of Ryan’s clothes were found several 32-caliber cartridges. THE BOSLEY DIVORCE. The Defendant Has Nothing to Say About the Charges. Eugene M. Bosley, who was sued for di- vorce Saturday, is the son of Elijah M. Bos- ley, the steam heating expert, who gained considerable notoriety in the School Board several years ago. Eugene Bosley is in the steam heating business, and used to be president of the Globe Steam Heating Co. e is now boom- ing his father’s patent boilers, in the hope that the School Board will buy about 330, 000 worth of them. He declined to make any comment on his wife’s charges, when confronted with them Monday. He is 28 years old, and his wife is younger. Their home was formerly at 1309 Dolman street, but Mrs. Bosley is now with her parents at 411 South Twenty-third street. They were married in June, 1894, and she alleges that he left her May 14 of this year, She charges him with ill treatment and failure to provide for her. Mount Olive Saengerfest. The annual saengerfest of the Mount Olive Cl was held at y. About 3,500 ns attended, and eight of the largest Bt. Louis German singing societies partici- pated in the programme. The music was conducted by R. A. Leh- man of Clayton, William Lange, George Mueller, Joseph Goepfert and Gustav Leh- mann of St. Louis. George Autenreith, John G. Weber, William C. Wenger, Albert Heege and E. B. Weber were the managers of the saengerfest. KILLED | STABBI ‘ A Fatal Fight Between William Koff- man and His Mistress, Louisa Price, on Carr Street. William Koffman and his mistress, Louisa Price, both colored, fought in their rooms at the rear of 2014 Carr street Sunday night. The man has seven stab wounds in various parts of his anatomy, and the | Physicians think he is fatally injured. The most serious wounds are in the ab- domen and left breast. According to Koffman’s version of the story, the woman began the fight because she was jealous. Koffman had been living with her for several months. Sunday even- ing he told her he was going to leave her. He had packed up his belongings and was sitting in front of the house whittling when the woman came out and began quar- reling with him. | He tried to pacify her and thought he had succeeded. She came up from behind, pinioned him and snatched the opened knife from his hand. Then she plunged the knife into him repeatedly. Koffman said he did not know he was seriously cut. He ran out into the street and picking up a brick threw it at the Woman. It struck her on the head and knocked her down. The woman’s tale differs materially from that told by Koffman. She said that Koff- man had been drinking all day and had been trying to raise a disturbance. She tried to — him, but he seemed crazy, and after reaking up the furniture he came at her with an open knife. The Price woman said she feared Koff- man intended killing her. She managed to take the knife away from him. Then she says she cut at him several times solely in self defense. The woman is at the Hospital, but is not badly hurt. SHE GOT HER BOY. Four Policemen Could Not Keep Mrs. Fath From Taking Him. Mrs. Valentine A. Fath, who went up to Quincy, III., Saturday to get her son from her first husband, came back with him Sun- day. She had little trouble. The boy’s father sent four policemen to the station to scare her after she had possession of the boy, but she didn’t scare a bit. She had her lawyer with her and hung on to the youngster, so that the police were afraid to tackle her. Mrs. Fath was separated from her first husband, John Hobrecker, Jr., a little over four years ago. Shortly after this a child was born. Three years ago she married Fath, who is a nephew of Assistant Fire Chief Fath of this city, and sent the boy to be taken care of by its father in Quincy, her former home. Hobrecker turned it over to his father and Mrs. Fath thought this was not the right thing to do, so she went after it. Attorney Davis accompanied her. She found the boy playing on the street in front of his grandfather’s house and marched away with him. He was quite willing to go. Hobrecker heard about it and started the officers to the train, but Mrs. Fath would not give the boy up. It is possible that habeas corpus proceedings may be insti- tuted to compel her to do so. She feels confident that no one will be able to take the child from her. HIBERNIANS’ PICNIC. H. C. Vandewater Figured in Most of the Athletic Contests. Division No. 10 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians had its annual picnic at Ra- mona Park Sunday. A large crowd at- tended and an entertaining programme of music and athletic sports was presented.

DIED IN A PENITENTIARY. His Criminal Career in St. Louis and Other Western Cities Made Him Famous With the Police. Frank F. Bruce, an expert criminal, who got rich by robbery, died in the Jefferson- ville (Ind.) Penitentiary Sunday. Bruce is said by the police to have left a fortune of over $100,000, all of which he got in a criminal way. He was well known to the St. Louis police and had a record in every large city in the country. He was an expert at cracking safes, but he was also successful in big burglaries. His last crime was committed at Terre Haute, Ind., where he blew a safe and secured about $30,000 in diamonds and money in 1893. For that offense he was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary south at Jeffersonville. His wife visited him often. She is strik- ingly handsome and wore no less than $10,000 worth of diamonds, the result of her husband’s many crimes. Before Bruce died he was wanted in seven cities, where crimes had been traced ess “WW | * WN. \ / AN W N VI 4 FRANK F. BRUCE. to him. He was one of the smoothest pris- oners a prison ever held, and it was seldom that he was incarcerated that he didn’t escane. Few jails were strong enough to hold him, and during the three years he served at Jeffersonville he three times lead a revolt of the convicts, and twice escaped, but was each time captured before he had gained a good start. Bruce, who was 46 years old at his death, had been engaged in crime for thirty years. So many times was he arrested that on the St. Louis police records alone he is cred- ited with the allas of George Wilson, Boyd, George Smith, C. C. Moore, Frank Williams, F. F. Ming, H. H. Doran and B. R. Daly. Bruce was a little fellow, weighing less than 110 pounds. He had quick, black eyes, with a merry sparkle, never drank, smoked or chewed, and was strictly a business man in his own nefarious way. He was always handsomely dressed, wore diamonds, and would be taken for a good citizen. He never associated with his fel- low criminals, and always worked alone. If he planned to crack some particular safe, no one knew anything about it but himself. He saved his money, built a home on Ashland boulevard, in Chicago, and in- stalled his wife there. Bruce’s last days in prison were saddened by his wife, who fell in love with a Chicago man, secured a divorce and married the Chicagoan. In 1891 Bruce blew the safe in the Mis- souri River Feed Co.’s building at Omaha, Neb., and secured $2,100 in cash. He was arrested as he was leaving town, but he had shipped the money out in a novel way. He forged the name of a phy- siclan to a burial permit and ught a rough board coffin, which he filled to about the proper weight of a corpse and stuffed the money in with it. Bruce shipped the coffin to Springfield, Mo., and hired an undertaker to accompany it, making him believe it was really a corpse. When he was arrested at the Omaha depot he was locked up and given a hearing the next day, at which he was held to the Grand-jury and the bond was fixed at $1,500. Bruce drew on a bank in Chicago for $3,000, and through an attorney purchased a plece of property ig Omaha for that amount and furnished bond by giving a mortgage on his place to a broker. He was released and he took the first train for Springfield, Mo. He got there just as the undertaker was planning to deliver the supposed corpse to the Morgue. Bruce paid him, rented a room and had the coffin taken there, where he opened it, secured the money and destroyed the casket. He remained there two weeks, and one night he broke into the Springfield Hard- ware Company’s store and ＋ away with thirty revolvers and a lot of cutlery. The next morning he was waiting for a train at the depot. with his booty in valises, and he was arrested. The day before he had ex- pressed his money to Chicago. He was held in jail two days, when he emptied a pep- perbox in a guard’s eyes and got away. A week afterwards he was arrested in St. Louis on a description from . and in a few days Sheriff J. C. Day of Green County took him back. Bruce sawed his way out of jail in a week, and was never seen in Springfield again. Bruce made his way East then and was heard from in several cities, where he nad blown safes. The Terre Haute job was one of his biggest and his last. The confinement in the Jeffersonville pen- itentilary brought on consumption and that eventually caused his death. While serv- ing the sentence Bruce lived like a prince in the prison. ; There was always several hundred doilars in the office which he could draw on, and he had meals sent into him which were better than the warden ate. here are seven different pictures of Bruce in the St. Louls rogues’ Sallery, eacn of them taken in a different city. It was thought that Bruce was a native of Mis- souri, but it is known that he was born and raised, until he was 16, in Chicago. His parents were of the substantial middle class, is father a grocery keeper. DECLINED THE NOMINATION. Thomas E Ford of Illinois Refuses to Run for Congress. Thomas E.
