Steph- ens for the gubernatorial nomination has taken the life out of what would otherwise be one of the most interesting Democratic State Conventions in the history of Mis- souri, There may be two or three lively scraps in the convention, but they are over offices of such minor importance as will fail to excite general enthusiasm or keen interest.

Citizens of Ashland Have the Lash Held Over Them If They Op- pose a Saloon License. Special to The Post-Dispatch, * COLUMBIA, Mo., Aug. 4—Ashland, a small town in the Southeastern part of this county, is greatly, wrought up over White- cappers. A prominent citizen of that place recently received a letter stating that he would be surely whipped in case he did not cease to take such active interest in a fight against the issuance of a license for a saloon in the town. Other citizens have also deen quietly notified that they would be summarily dealt with unless they cedsed to meddie with the saloon fight. As a result, Ben Mathis, a prominent citizen of that place, came to Columbia to-day and had warrants sworn out against Michael Swillum, Merica Lindsey and Leb Burnett. The men were arrested and promptly gave bail for their appearance in Judge Pratt's court Wednes- day. It is said there are warrants out for five more of the band, which is com- posed ef sight men whose purpose i& was to regu nee the community by means of the whip. The u dle Is over a saloon fight which is now and has been waged for the past month in town. Mike Swillum, for the past several years, Bas been conducting a saloon in the town. Two months ago his license expired, and, as usual, he went about to secure a renewal of the license. A number of the citizens of che town made a protest against granting the.license, and refused to sign the petition te the County Court. Nevertheless Swillum He was 5 before the court with a petition. rised to fined the anti-saloon people had hired an attorney and were also fore the court. As a result, it was found that a of the signers were not property 2 rs, and were not entitled to sigr license Swillum went back to Ashiand and pre- pared a new petition. In the meantime the authorities of the town were taking an acti „ interest in the fight. The lines were tigh drawn, and every citizen is either for or ’ eeainet the saloon. At the next sit- ting of the court Swillum presented another petition. The fight was hol, and the license was again refused. The feeling in Ashland became most intense, and several citizens of the town have recently received letters threatening dire consequences unless they desisted in their fight or on the saloon. Ben Mathis received recently a letter from the supposed White Caps. He turned it over to the authorities and fled complaint against several parties who he suspected of writing the threatening paper.

3 2 1 : * n s N et « * 1 . . * * war of 883 ne, CHICAGO, Aug. (.- Moore Bros. have fatled, and with them has collapsed the most gigantic speculative deal ever known in Chicago—that in Diamond Match and New York Biscuit stock. As a result the directors’ of the Stock Exchange met last night and decided to close this morning for an indefinite period. This meeting was assembled informally after the announcement which was made late in the afternoon by James H. Moore that margin calls no longer could be met. That announcement was made to a few of the men most heavity interested, and it was thought best to call a meeting to discuss the situation. Those who assembled dis- cussed the best means of restoring confi- dence after the shock which would be given to speculative circles by the announcement of the faflure. It was the general opinion that it would be the wisest ssible move to close the Stock Exchange for a period. The point was made that nearly the en- tire business at the Stock Exchange for a number of weeks has been in lamond Match and New York Biscuit. The closing of the Exchange would interfere only in the slightest degree with the general finan- cial affairs, and that the present was a — ticularly opportune time, owing to the fact that the settlements in the July account had just been completed, and there had been as yet comparatively little trading in the August accounts. W. H. Moore, the senior member of the firm, is at present in the East. James H. Moore, who has been the immediate active manager of the speculative campaign, is in Chicago. - William H. and J. H. Moore, the members of the firm of William H. & J. H. Moore, and Pursell made their first move as pro- moters in putting on the market the stock of che Frazer Axle Grease Co. While this company has been but little known, the Moores made considerable money out ot it. The first corporation of any moment in which they were interested was the Diamond Match Co. This company was orig- inally a Connecticut corporation, and it had been formed for the purpose of controlling the mantfacture of matches. It had not been successful, however, and at the time the Moores took hold of it, it was in a dis- rupted state and competition had r caused its downfall. The Diamond Mato Co. of Illinols was formed, which took over the properties of the former company. Since the formation of this company its, success has been phenomenal, the Moores have been fortunate for themselves and for others. O. C. Barber, the President of the Diamond Match Co., has had control of its actual working, though the Moores ‘have been recognized as the real people behind the company. Mr. Barber a practical | match m and he owned large factories in Akron, O. These factories were en in as part of the assets of the old Connecti- cut corporation, and Mr. Barber, who had been the ruling spirit in the first corpora- tion, became the working head of the new. The finances of the company, however, have always been in the hands of the Moores. Diamond Match stock was not a specula- tive security in the true sense of the word during the first two years of the company’s: existence. It went ahead making money and dividends were paid regularly. At the time of the 2 1 — the captial stock was $6,000,000.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 4.—Shooting by soldiers and rioters marked the opening of another day ip the vicinity of the Brown Holating Works. At 10:30 o’clock this morn- ing two men stepped in front of Mrs. Lind's boarding house, a few squarés from the Brown Hoisting Works, where a man named Gettner, employed at the works, boards. The two men yelled for the “scab” to come out, and then they began to throw stones at the house. Presently one of the men fired at the door, the bullet passing through the panel and entering the house. The noise attract- ed the attention of the militia and a de- tachment of Co. I men were ordered to the scene on the double-quick. As the sol- diers turned a neighboring corner the two men started to run. The Lieutenant in charge shouted Halt!“ The pursued men paid no ittention to the order and the soldiers began shooting at them. They returned the fire and for a few moments there was a lively fusillade. One of the men suddenly made a cry and was heard to groan. A moment later, however,. both ‘had disappeared. The affair caused the utmost excitement in the neighborhood for a time. The bullets struck several houses. Two went clear through the side of a grocery store. The About 150 non-union men went to work at the Brown works this morning under guard of a large force of militia an olice. An enormous crowd of strikers and their sym- pathizers were present, but no trouble oo- curred. On évery street within a radius of nearly a mile of the plant, both soldiers and locked-out men patrolled the s'dewalks. The soldiers were doubly armed, wearing belts and revolvers as well as carryin uns. number of the strikers also carried guns. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the locked-out men this morning it was decided unanimously to.ask the Central La- bor Union at its meeting on Wednesda evening to declare a sympathetic strike.

L. That They Are Do- ing the Best They Can. * 7 Tuesday's session. of the Board of Public Improvements was mainly devoted to the rehearing. asked for by the electric light companies as to their dereliction in repair- ing the lights in the tornado district. Judge Jacob Klein was on hand to repre- sent the citizens and see to it that the “bright lights“ who appeared for the board did not get the best of the board in making oer. excuses. e companies made a much stronger defense than at the former hearing, in that they showed by oral proof and written orders that they had demanded of the supply companies to drop all orders ex- cept those aecessary to furnish material for the emergency at* hand. Attorneys Thompson and Pike expla'ned that the companies were doing their very best to put the lights in service. Mr. Pike said that all but 363 incandescent ights were in order, and that all of them could be replaced in two weeks. The main difficulty had been in getting wire, and a shipment from Philadelphia three weeks ago that had gone astray had caused the delay. For two weeks the railroad company had been trying to trace these car loads of wire but it seems that they have disappeared from the earth, Mr. Piko asked that two weeks’ indul- gence be — the companies and by that time working order to suit Judge Klein and everybody else, the board could then go ahead and do its worst in the way of pun- ishing the companies. Judge Kfein said that he thought from the earnestness of Mr Pike and the speed with which the companies had accelerated the work since the “touch =o by the Board that the companies would perform what they promised. He would agree to a two weeks’ postpone- ment of final action, but if at the end of that time everything was not in working or- der, would insist that no quarter be shown the derelict companies The Board then postponed the hearing to August 18. Commissioner Milner for the Street De- partment submitted thirteen new ordin- ances for street openings and repairs, which were adopted. STUDIES OF MARK HANNA. A PITIABLE TALE. A Tiny Infant Abandoned by an In- discreet Young Couple. Winton M. Porter, a carpenter, iiving at 944 Chouteau avenue, walked into the Four Courts Tuesday morning, carrying on his arm a tiny, little, shriveled up and sickly baby. From its size one would think ‘it newly-born. It was a year and two months old, but sickness had withered it up to a weight of nine pounds. The baby was Gladys Augusta Philbrook a waif, and the folly of its parents will probably bring trouble in the town of Jack- sonville, III. Seventeen months ago, so Porter says, Fred O. Philbrook, who was attending a medical school at Jacksonville, and iss Mabel Massey, a you ee of the game town, passed through Louis. “They went to Hannibal Mo., said Por- ter, and were married, They came back to St. Louis and engaged board at my house, which was then at outeau avenue. While they were at my house the child was born, and after the young wife was well the made arrangements to leave the baby me, agreeing to pay me for its care, as they desired to return to Jacksonville, and, of course, did not want to take a child back with them a accepted the charge and did the best 1 could to care for it. But it was weak and sickly, and I have paid $158 in doctor's bills for it. Philbrook wouldn't send me enough money. All I have recéived 2 him is $116, and that was spent. long ag pt writing for more money, and t . rot a letter from Jacksonville, unsigned, which read that Philbrook would send me mo more money, and that it would do me no good to expose the young couple. “Well, here I am, with but $2 in the world, and about to be turned out of home because I have spent all my money on this child.

THE DEMOCRATS AND POPULISTS TO JOIN FORCES. FOR BRYAN AND SEWALL. The Democrats Are Going to Hold Out for the Regular Ticket to the End. HUTCHINSON, Kau., Aug. 4.— The Dem- acratic State Convention, which promises to be one of the most important held by that party in Kansas for several years, was called to order at the Auditorium at 10 o’clock this morning. Nearly all of the 483 delegates were present, band on all sides by a host of spectators. Most of the dele- gations met in caucus this morning and steering committees, through which most of the workings of the convention will be accomplished, were appointed. Ata previous meeting of the State Central Committee, a proposition, received from the Silver Republican Central Committee, which meets at Topeka to-day, was read. In it the silver people asked to be allowed to name two members on a fusion electoral! ticket. The Democratic Central Committee took no action on the proposition, besides showing silent non-consent. There are three strong factions among the leaders in the convention as to the best mode of accomplishing what seems to be un- versally desired by the delegates—fusion with the Populists whose convention meets to-morrow aj Abilene. One of the factiorts, which is probably the strongest of the three, advocates the im- mediate selection of a Conference Com- mittee to m@et a similar one from the Pop- ulist convention, to discuss fusion before carrying any set plan to the convention. The position of this faction is set forth by David Overmyer, its leader. The unanimous senti- ment of the delegates,” said he, in an inter- view to-day, “so far as I have ‘been able to ascertain it, is that the convention should nominate Bryan and Sewall electors with- out any hesitation or parleying with any- bod he general feeling is that this must be the result in the end and that what must ultimately transpire had better transpire promptly, decisively and unequivocally.” Whatever may be sacrified by the Demo- crats, one thing appears reasonably certain, that they will not give place on the elec- toral tickets to any but Bryan and Sewall ocrats. Done *tonvention was called to order by Frank Bacon, Chairman of the State Com- mittee, who introduced H, 8. Martin of Marion as temporary Chairman. Mr. Martin made a strong speech favoring fu- sion of all parties in Kansas which favor silver. David Overmyer followed in a speech for a union of forces to defeat the Republicans. After the appointment of the usual com- mittees adjournment till 2 o’clock was taken. THE POPULISTS. A Committee to Be Appointed to See the Democrats. ABILENE, Kan., Aug. 4.—The news that the Democrats carried Alabama yesterday by *a sweeping majority has strengthened the position of advocates of Sewall electors. By many of the delegates to the Populist State Convention, which meets here to- morrow, it is accepted as significant that the Populists of the South, even with Re- publican fusion, are not capable of turning down the Democratic electors. This feeling may spread and have much to doin deciding the question of fusion with the Democrats. It is agreed that the first werk of the con- vention will be the appointment of a com- mittee to confer on the question of fusion with a like committee from the Democratic convention. Next to the question of electors, the most troublesome problem to be solved is that of giving representation on the State ticket to the free silver Republican The only Re- publican mentioned for place is E. C. Little of Abilene, who aspires to be Congressman- at-large. He is supported by a strong fol- lowing of free silver Republicans, A. P. A. PAPER SUSPENDS. The True American Was Not Able to Make Both Ends Meet. The A. P. A. has lost its organ. The True American, a weekly paper devoted to its interests, has collapsed for want of sub- scribers. The editor, H. C. Beedle, says he has dropped $1,300 in the enterprise and now he has no more to lose. The last number of the paper was issued July 11. A great effort was made by Beedle to resurrect it, owing to the campaign's approach, but it was useless. He was not able to arouse any interest in the publica- tion, even among members of the order, and so was obliged to drop it. The True American was sold on the streets by newsboys. Part of its support came from Catholics, who bought it out of curi- osity to see what it had to say about their religion, Postage and the Blind. The blind have one advantage. In their correspondence they have only to pay one cent postage. The point system is not classed as Writing. Diseased Meat . The report of Secretary Leon Kroeger of the sanitary division of the health of- fice shows that for July there were con- demned 24,978 pounds of bruised and dis- eased meat, including 300 pounds of bacon.

At 12 o’clock so few were present that it looked as though there might be a fizzle, but in a short time the young enthuslasts began to arrive. Among those present were a number ot bright-looking young women, and during the wait for auditors ey sang a number of national hymns and old familiar songs. As the time passed and Secretary Vroo- man saw there were hardly enough to be- Ein talking to he suggested that everybody get lunch first. The suggestion was ener- getically acted upon. During the meal Mr. Vrooman explained that as soon as it was over addresses would be made from the stage on the east wing where the old song and dance artists us to hold forth. He promised that for Wednes- day Dr. Frank G. Tyrrell would be hand to make a talk. “And,” said Mr. Vrooman, “he will have sométhing to say that will de hotter than this hot weather.” Then the secretary sat down and pro- eded to demolish an ear of corn, There were present about fifty gentlemen all told and perbaps a dozen ladies.

Huissem’s relatives signed the peti- tion, and last Sunday when Hulssem stopped in front of the garden, Goering ordered him away. Huissem refused to go, and —— — him.

It Will Be a Red Letter One in Fair Grounds Racing.. Rafiroad Day at the Fair Grounds will be Saturday, Aug. 15, given in honof of the railroad fraternity of St. Louis, Secretary Aull is preparing a special programme for that day, and there will be a railroad stake race on the card. The ‘railroad officials of the twenty-four steam railroads center- ing in St. Louis are evincing a lively in- terest in the day and they are making spe- cial inducements to get a big crowd from neighboring points here. All the cracker- jacks at the race track will run that day, and the Fair Grounds will look its pretti- est in honor of Railroad Day. Turf Notes. Cushing, owner of Crevasse, Sun- v3 st. Lo : uis his home J. E. burst and others, returned yesterday after a short trip to at Minneapolis. Senator O’Brien is paying a visit to his home at Stillwater, Minn. He will return later in the week. It is mot decided what disposition will be made of the Pastime stable. Arthur New- um is still in Louisville, but is expected ack this week. Among the recent arrivals at the Fair Grounds are the T. W. Coulter stable. Among the horses in the string are Redskin, California, Fusileer, Dantes, Tom Smith.

Charlie n of Ae has be- gun training for his battle with Rid La- vigne, which will probably take place before the Empire Athletic Club of ng Island some time in September. McKeever will be handled by Prof. Nixon and will make ever effort to enter the ring in the pink of condi- n. Tom Sharkey, the pugiiistis tar, is expect- ed to arrive in New York August 13. He will have plenty of opportunities in the East to show the kind of stuff he is made of. Dick Burge talks of coming to this coun- oy for the p of having another at Kid Lavigne. hy Burge should want any more of Layigne’s game it is not ener to see, Denver mith has arrived in la and is pr@paring to car n out his threat of making Fitssimmons fi t him. If he gets into the ring with Fitz he will probably devote more consideration to the problem of how to make him stop. Peter Maher left San Francisco for the Tast on Friday night, accompanied by Buck Connolly and Peter Lowery. They are go- ing to Pitteburg, from which place Connolly will go to New York and arrange for the Maeher-Choynski fight. Steve O'Donnell has issued a challenge on behalf of Ed Atherton, who is anixous to meet any catch-as-catch-can wrestler in the world for $250 or $600 aside. Ex-Champion John L. Sullivan has ne Into the hotel business, and is not likely to be séen in the ring or on the stage again.

Bids on Guns and Ammunition Opened at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4—Many big manufacturing companies Were represented at the War and Navy departments Monday afternoon, when bids were opened for sup- plying a large quantity of gun carriages, mortars, shot and shell of various sizes and kinds. Probably not since the late war has the Ordnance Bureau of the War De- partment been able to lay out so extensive a programme for one year’s work as is now made possible by the liberal appro- priations by Congress for the defense of our coast. It was noticeable that in the list of bidders were the names of firms, -mainly from the West, that have never before had Dusiness relations with the War Depart- ment. The first bids opened were for supplying — carriages. There were twelve bidders. he American Hoist and Derrick Co. of St. Paul bid $11,800 each for ten carriages or more, deliveries to begin in six months and continue at the rate of one for every six weeks; the Southwark Foundry of Phila- delphia, while fixing the price of carriages at $12,600, offered to build ten or more at $11,500 each and to make the first delivery in five months, so it was difficult to decide between them. For supplying steel forgings for big guns the only bidders were the Bethlehem an the Midvale Steel companies of Pennsylva- nia. The Bethlehem company was the lowest on the 10-inch and 12-inch forgings at 20 and c, while the Midvale company was es for 12-inch forgings at 23c per 100 8. The American Ordnance Co. of Philadel- hia and Thomas Lake, representing the axim-Nordenfeldt Gun Co., were the com- etitors for supplying six-pounder frapid- ring guns. For supplying deck-piercing shelis the Carpenter Steel Co. of Reading, Pa., bid from 26c to De per pound and the Sterling Steel Co. of Pittsburg, 30c. Midvale also bid on these deck-plercers and torpedo shells at prices ranging from $141 to $194. Price Cutting to a Finish. One of St. Louis’ large retail houses that is just now enjoying a ‘large share of public favor, is the People’s House Furnishing Co. of 814 North Broadway. Yesterday they opened their doors, upon the first day of their Great Red Tag Sale, to as large a throng of eager buyers as ever stood on Broadway. The legend, Whenever you see the red tag the price is half,” and this was sub- Stantiated in every instance. Beautiful rockers, couches, tables, desks, chiffoniers, wardrobes, and, in fact, every article known to fine furniture is being positively slaught- ered regardless of price or value. The People’s House Furnishing Co. say that they must make rapid disposition of their stock and those who are looking for the best of it,“ at the emaliest price, miss an unequaled opportunity if they get left. Tabor Property Sold. DENVER, Colo., Aug. (The Tabor Op- era-house and the Tabor block have passed into the legal possession of Mrs. Laura D. Smith, holder of the second trust deed on the property, who bid it in for „000.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Aug. 4.—The crop bulle- tin issued by the Missouri Section, Climate and Crop Service, Weather Bureau, for the week ending Saturday, August 1, says: Thegpast week has been the warmest of the season, the temperature averaging from 4 to 7 degrees above the normal in the north- ern and from 7 to 9 degrees above in the cen- trai and southern sections. Except in the northern counties the temperature, at nearly all stations, reached degrees or above on every day*of the week, and on sev.

Much damage to grain and hay stacks and to corn and apples by high winds is also reported from the northern and a few of the eastern counties, In other sections work has generally progressed fa- 88 and haying is now practically fin- shed. In most counties corn continues to make good progress and the earliest is matur:ng rapidly, but in nearly all of the central, western and southern counties the crop is in need of rain. In a number of the south- western and a few of the southeastern counties the drouth is becoming severe, and corn is being seriously injured, especi- ally the late planted, and some corres- ponderts report that it will not make more than half a crop. Gardens, late potatoes and other growing crops have also suffered more or less and pastures are getting short. Cotton in the Southeast is generally doing well, but in some localities is needing mois- ture, while in a few others it is shedding, HAD A AED SOUR 11 HS FOREHEAD ‘@HAT’s ABOUT ALL THAT'S KNOWN OF MR.

At the hospital Tuesday morning Henry could remember nothing of the incidents of the orevious night, but at the house the police secured full information. Henry and his wife had been out during the early evening and he had drank con- siderable. When they got home and ~~ was preparing the supper he began drink- ing from a bottle of whisky. He stood at the landing of the stairs on the second floor, when Mrs. Henry called him to supper. He turned, looked down at her a minuate and then bounded down the steps. He passed her and rushed into the dining-room. Out of the side-board drawer he drew a razor and turning towards his wife, exclaimed: “IT am going to kill you!” and he made a Depart.)

They believe he has swindied them. Several days ago the man with the red car on his forehead registered at the Merchants’ Hotel as J. Irwin of Hot Springs, Ark. The day following his ar- rival he announced to the people about the hotel that he was going to open several dairy lunch rooms in the city. He also said that he might lease a hotel and run it in connection with his lunch rooms, if he found a place that suited him. Mr. Irwin was a good talker. Before the gun went down on his second day in St. Louis he had leased two storerooms, one at 1004 Olive street and the other at 116 South Sixteenth street. He gave a large amount of wind and unlimited conversation as se- curity for the rent. owing to too much rain.

It was the ashington, a small hotel at Fourteenth and St. Charles streets. This he leased from Harry M. Perks, giving him check for $250 on the Continental Bank payment of a month’s rent in advance. To all of the people he did business with he showed letters from a Hot Springs real estate man named Wilson. The letters stated that a remittance of $2,000 would be deposited to the credit of Irwin in the Continental Bank in this city on Aug. 1 hrieval ad Moll. r the Pohlman-Staed shrievalty contest case, Genuine Malt Nutrine, have attracted much attention on account Finest El Cream per Pound — ters 1740 Judge Klein gave a decision in favor of of the approach of the fall elections.

Every ballot voted shall be numbered in the order in which it shall be received, and the number recorded by the election officers on the list of voters, o site the. name of the voter who presents the ballot. | “2.

But they were able to get a good crop of corn after all, as it came right up again and seemed to gather new strength.

After the conclusion After his death, fifteen years ago, his widow, Mrs. Stockton, with her three came to St. Louis, which has since been her home. Miss Nellie Stockton is a tall and beauti- ful brunette, with blue eyes and dark hair. Her stately figure, graceful bearing and personal beauty give her an air of distinc- tion difficult to describe. In social circles her agreeable manner, estimable chard@tter and winsome disposition have long made her a general favorite. Miss Stockton was educated in St. Louis and is a graduate of Hosmer Hall. The wedding to be solemnized to-morrow is the happy culmination of a long courtship lunge at her. She screamed and ran to- wards the front of the house. The front door was locked and she barely had time to dodge into the parlor. He chased her back then to the other end of the house, turned chairs over and moved the furni- ture in the chase. The back door was open and Mrs. Henry ran out into the yard and then into a neignbor’s house. Henry stood iu the back door,a minute, exhibiting the shining blade of the razor. Suddenly, in view of the excited neigh- bors, the drink-crazed man drew the blade across his neck. The blood spurted out. He caught some of it in his hands, looked at it a moment and then let it dribble down on the back steps. Then he jerked up the sleeve of his left arm and hacked at his wrist with the razor. An artery was severed. He stood there a moment and dropped backwards onto the floor. When the neigh- bors got into the house he was unconscious. Dr. Garesche attended the wounded man and then sent him to the City Hospital. Dr- Sutter says he is not seriously hurt and will be able to go home in a day or two. WANTED THE FEE. Clients of Attorney Lefkow Make a Disturbance on Olive Street Try- ing to Recover Money. Attorney Alphonse Lefkow was the center of a storm of excitement on Olive street Tuesday. From Justice Spaulding’s office on Eleventh street to the Commercial building, in which he has an office, he was pursued by several angry clients and a score of their friends. They asked for the réturn of a five dollar fee and the more Lefkow refused to give it up the louder his clients became in their demands. When Lefkow reached the Commercial building he was surrounded by a mob which pressed upon the enraged clients. Lefkow attempted to go up to his office, but his clients seized him and he had Patrolman Battersley arrest three of them for disturb- ing the peace. They were Abe and Isaac Singerman and Sam Gillman Lefkow did not press the charge aginst Isaac Singerman and he was not locked up. The case which caused the trouble was brought by Singerman & Gillman, dealers in trimmings at 610 Wash street, against the Kaminer Pants Co. Singerman & Gill- man alleged that Lefkow, their lawyer, promised to return a five dollar retainer fee if he lost the case. A non-suit-was entered against the plaintiffs and they demanded the return of the retainer. Lefkow's re- fusal added several degrees to the heat of Olive street. MRS. COOK’S TROUBLES. Her Errant Husband Persuaded Her ea Son to Leave Her. Mrs. Katie Cook is 3% years old, and lives at.1319 St. Louls avenue. Her husband, Herman Cook, and their 17-year-old son, precincts, the entire vote of such precincts must be rejected, and the poll books are ad- missible in evidence to prove such failure and official neglect of the election officers. On the second point, Judge Klein said: „Under the Australian ballot law, as adopted in this State, the voter is required to prepare his ballot in a particular way Such provisions are | to indicate his choice. uniformly held to be mandatory and they must be observed, or the ballot cannot be counted. Hence ballots on which! the voter failed to cross out all but a single prove of candidates in the manner provided by the statute, and failed to insert in that group the name of a candidate from another group for whom he intended to vote for a particular office, must be rejected as to that office. “So also, where the voter allowed the names of two candidates for the same of- fice to remain on his ballot, the ballot must be rejected, so far as that office is con- cerned.“ . Some bellets had only one number in- dorsed on them instead of two, and in dis- — this phase of the case Judge Klein said: “By section 4,672, R. S., it is made the duty of the clerks of election to place on each ballot the number corresponding with the number opposite the name of the voter found on the registration list, in addition to the number of the ballot in the arder in which it is voted. This statute further pro- vides that ‘no ballot not so numbered shall be counted.’ Under the rule, these ballots can not be counted, as this statutory re- quirement is mandatory. This is conceded by both sides and is the settled rule in this tate.“ In consequence of the rejection of ballots which did not have two judges’ names, Stead lost 2,182 votes and Pohlman 2,700. This gave Staed a winning lead. A significant paragraph at the close of the opinion was as follows: By reason of the incompetence or gross carelessness of election officers at the elec- tion held November 8, 1892, for the office of Sheriff, 24,068 ballots, or more than one- third of the entire number of votes cast were nesessarily rejected by the Court in making up the final count. This is an object lesson pecullarly important at the present time, when the Board of Elec- tion Commissioners is about to appoint elec- tion officers for the term of two years under the new election law. Most of the duties in which election officers of the 1892 election were derelict will have to be performed by those now to be selected.“ SAUNDERS ON THE DECISION. Election Commissioner Approves of Judge Klein’s Comments. Election._Commissioner Eaunders is of the opinion that the objections to the old elec- tion law pointed out by Circuit Judge Klein in his decision in the Pohlman-Staed elec- tion case can be easily avoided under the new law. The Commissioner says it is well worth the while ror voters to note the differences between the old and.the new law, because the latter, while much simpler, still has complications that even the most wary are liable to overlook. “tT am glad Judge Klein has so pointedly called attention to the complications of the old law, and referred to the fact that Judges and clerks under the new law are liable to fall into the same error,” said Mr. Saunders. ~ “The new law. dispenses with two-thirds of the exactions on judges made compulsory under the old law and the omission of which cost John Henry Pohlman the shrievalty. “The old law. required the ballot to be numbered when handed the voter and when returned for deposit in the box to bear the initials of two of the judges. The new law does away with these exactions. „There is no number on the ballot, but the number is kept all the same in a double check bood by the clerks in blank books about the size of a small memo- randum book, which is a part of the elec- tion officer’s equipment. “For instance: John Jones comes up to vote; he is the first man to present him- wishes to vote either the straight * cratic or Republican ticket is to mark ou every Other name on the ticket.“ Commencing August 15, the Commission- ers will open their school of examination and instruction for officers of election, and they have secured the chamber of the House of Delegates for that purpose. Speaking of this branch of the w Mr. Saunders said: “It is portant tha citizens should know that when this board sends them a notice to appear before it for examination they must come. If they do not come the board has to prosecute them for neglect. The board can’t avoid doing this, for the law is mandatory, and . rn involves a minimum e of The election officers will be examined in classes of twenty or thirty and all three members of the board and as many assist- ants will be engaged in the work every day until it is completed. There are so man of these officers that the men selected w have to attend sharply when called, for we must present the list to the court by Sept. 1. . 2 THE WALL FELL ON HIM. H. D. Sykes Was Lucky to Get Off With a Broken Nose. H. D. Sykes, colored, was caught by a falling wall shortly after 8 o’clock Tuesday morning. : He was employed to help wreck the fac- tory of the Quick Meal Stove Co., on Chou- teau avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, and was picking a hole in the nose was broken by the load of brick, and a gash about three inches long’ laid the flesh bare to the skull on the top of his head. He crawled out from under the debris and an ambulance took him to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Lippe bridged his nose, stitched up his head and sent him to his home, 27 South Channing ave- nue. Sykes said that he was picking the wall in a close corner, and the foreman was to stand on the other side to see when the brick and mortar began to weaken, so as to give him the word to jump for his life. The foreman neglected to do this, and as he was unable to see how fast he was un- dermining the wall, the first thing MB knew was when it and the bricks came crashing down on him. : Sykes said he did not know the name of the man in charge of the work further than that he is a gradeg, and has no connec tion with any of the wrecking companies, Kicked by a Horse.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—A special to the Trib- une from New York says: The syndicate of foreign bankers which came into existence to check the drain on the Treasury gold by Europe has signally succeeded in its ef- forts in thet direction, but the withdrawal of gold for shipment to Canada continues. It was very generally said in official and banking circles down town that the gold withdrawals for Canada net suppoeed ship- pers a premium of at least haif of 1 per cent over and above any profit on the ex- change transaction. e agents of the jan banks indignantly _ that the gold is withdrawn for the sake of the remium on it; that it is simply sent to anada because it is cheaper to send gold than exchange. They say that as the money ig owing and has to be remitte when called for, gold has to be sent be- cause of the impossibility of getting ex- change except at a much gredter expense. The effect of heavy withdrawals from banks last week is partly offset by the knowledge that the bankers’ syndicate has been extended until it is now said ,000, - of exchange can be supplied if necessary between now and election time, The syn- dicate was originally formed to furnish $50,000,000 to $75,000,009.

What the Eminent Chinese Statesman Is Thee For. LONDON, Aug. 4—Li Hung Chang re- stricted his activity during his first day in England to a drive around Hyde Park and Pall Mall. He stayed at home for the re- mainder of the ume. The Times has gn article regarding Li Hung Chang's views and the object of his mission to England. The Chinese states- man considers, this article says, that En- gland could, if she had chosen, have pre- vented China's disastrous war with Japan. He now desires as an evidence of sympathy that England should concede to China thé right to make a substantial addition to the duties charged under the treaty between them upon goods entering Chinese ports. Li Hung Chang hints, according to the Times article, that this increase in China’s revenue will be devoted to the purchase of warlike stores in Burope, “He assures us,” says the Times, “that he has great reforms ready to put into oper- ation, including provision for a fleet and an army which, within five years, will place China in a position that would render im- possible any sach defeat as she recently endured.”’ Li Hung Chang holds strongly to the opin- China's new navy should be built ip Enel 4 lish I a nd, on English lines, Angle officers. sd ee PRIESTS MURDERED.

VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY. British Guiana Legislature Opposes Chamberlain’s Polity. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—Word reaching here from British Guiana indicates that the High Court of Policy or Legislature of the colony is further inclined to resist the Lon- don authorities on matters connected with the Venezuelan boundary trouble. Colonial Minister Chamberlain’s policy has been to strengthen the colonial m tary force and buy Maxim guns. He found difficulty in securing the guns and now the High urt has passed a resolution respectfully urging the vernment to reduce military expen- ses. Mr. Hunter, who introduced the resolu- tion, said in supporting it that the Vene- zuelan boundary trouble had resulted in swelling the cost of the police from $185,000 to $300,000. They were, he said, simply sent * to the Venezuelan boundary to ‘be made “dummies” of, He understood a number were sent there fully armed to protect the boundary, and, if the, enemy approached, they were to say Boo,“ and retire. (Laugh- ter.) Hunter’s further strictures on the * Mr. military and police caused something of a sensation. He was support by a num- der of members and the ution calling for retrenchment was passed.

Since the propery went into the receiver's hands, Mr. D. R. Francis, as receiver. has had charge of all matters. He is the only one qualified to discuss it. Mr. Francis is in the Bast. The suits Monday were filed by holders of first mortgage bonds on Central Eleva- tors A and B. In the first suit J. B. M. Kehlor, H. A. Haeussler, T. B. Memining- er, Frederick Gist, the Continental Na- tional Bank, D. G. Tutt and others are the plaintiffs, suing through William E. Burr as trustee of the bonds held by them. The bonds amount to $60,000, and the petition asks for their foreclosure. They also ask the discharge of D. R. Frandts as receiver, as far as the Central Elevator property is concerned, alleging that Wm. Burr, as trustee, should have the control, and under the provisions of the mortgage should be ordered to sell the property and redeem the bonds. It is represented that the sale would net suffi- cient to redeem the bonds. As trustee, Mr. Burr represented the bond holders in the second suit also. It is. a cross bill to the petition for a reciever on which D. R. neis was appointed and declares that the allegations on which his appointment was secured had nothing to do with the rights of the plaintiffs. It is further alleged that D. R. Francis collected $30,000 tornado insurance and asks that this be ordered paid pro rata to the holders of the second series of bonds and that the re- ceiver be discharged and the property placed in the trustee’s hands for sale. Col. James O. Broadhead, representin the petitioners, 1s quoted as saying tha since D. R. Francis was appoint receiver the condition of affairs has. amounte virtually to a freeze-out, and that the re- ceivership existed for the benefit of unse- cured bondholders. Mr; Francis issues certificates for operat- ing expenses and repairs, which are a prior lien to the first mortgage bonds. Holders f first liens claim that they bear ‘the nor en of this and that unsecured bondholders reap the benefit. , 8 THE LARGEST ON EARTH. Brandy Still That Turns Out Fifteen Thousand Gallons a Day. = The largest brandy still in the world is on the El Pinal vineyard, in San Joaquin County, not far from Stockton, says the San Francisco Call. It is the ie | of George West, and part of it has been built about four years and the other part was finished only a short time ago. As is well known the El Paso vineyard has always made a specialty of brandy and sweet wines. It was the intention of the proptteters to do this when they went nto business, and for that reason they had the largest still built that was ever put up. That was, as has been stated, about four yearg ago, and even then it was ahead of anything else in existence. It could pro- duce more brandy in twenty-four hours than any other still in the world, and it has not been surpassed since. But even that was not enough to supply all of the alcohol needed in their business, so another still wag built and made to work in con- nection with the original one. The two are really one still as they are used, and have about three times the capacity of any other still in the world. This enormous machine is located in a bullding by itself, and part of the year is kept running day and night. It is very complicated in its workings, so that a description of that part of it cannot be attempted here. It will be sufficient to om the vats to a tank on top of the still. From there it simply passes through a-series of heated chambers in the form of a vapor and comes out in the shape of brandy. It can be tested in the different chambers ong * change noted. In the first chamber it ig little more than warm wine, and it gradually gets stronger and stronger until it is sharp to taste. m the time the wine eaves the tank until it comes out as grape brandy only ten minutes is occupied. fn the old method of distilling it used to take about three hours. In appearance the largest brandy still in the world is simply a conglomeration of tanks pipes and this stil 1,700 men, or about th popu of New York. But, at bee — used to sweet wines 80 will be in condition to keep until rea ay oo gene sor th The gy — acts ve o e grape juice the same as it would of an keeps it from turning „„ * PROFESSIONAL RAT CATCHER. He Thrives in London and Makes a Living Catching Rodents. “Want a rat, sir? There's a beauty for yer! Fierce as a tiger, and fresher than a’are! Will you ‘ave "im?’ My object was less to buy a rodent than to purchase a little information, and that was reason I had sought out the rat- catcher on the borders of a common ad- jacent to one of our chief university towns, says a writer in Spare Moments.

Old Arrow Heads and Curious Bullets From the Flesh of Migrating Birds. According to the Fishing Gazette a sal- mon taken at Baker’s Bay, Wash., had the shaft of a spear sticking through its head, which had been imbedded there about eight months, judging from the stdte of the wound and the time the fish was taken. The supposition is that the fish ascended oa. Alaskan river and was Speared by an ndian. : Out on the prairie when the buffalo were to be counted by the thousands, the hunters frequently found the arrows of various Indians imbedded in the flesh of the big brutes—now the Sioux arrow, again the Blackfoot, and again the Comanche. The finding of an arrow often told of the roam- ing of thousands of miles, but nowadays the mammals that have n wounded, which still fear the missile that hurt them, carry only the lead of the hunter’s rifle, the beasts not ranging to the far north, where arrows and spears are still used. So it is that only birds, and once in a while a fish, bring down an Alaskan weapon to be ex- | amined by hunters in Ohio, on the Chesa- | peake Bay, or ‘some other place where geese and swans are killed. a | A curious tale is to be gathered from | two letters published in the Forest and Stream. On one occasion P. Byron Wood, M. D., wrote that James Frick of Balti- more captured a wild swan, which was premares for the table. An iron arrow ead, whos@ shank had been notched deep- ly so that it would hold, was found in the breast beneath the pectoral muscle, lying against and buried in the breast bone to the depth of a quarter of an inch. The arrowy head was covered with a membra- | nous tissue, as are all old missiles found | buried in the flesh of animals. It was made of one-sixteenth-inch iron—barrel Poop, may nd was over four inches Another letter was from E. W. Nelson of Tucson, Ariz., which said, in part: During my explorations in Alaska I procured several quivers of iron-tipped ar- rows, notched as the original in your cut of the arrow head found in the Chesa- | peake Bay swan; and the form being un- usual. The — where I secured Ar- rows was probably the same where the Swan was shot, the Upper Yukon River, about 200 miles above Fort Yukon. They were made by- the Tutchone-Kutchin tribe of the Chippewa Indians. The swans are very abundant on the Upper Yukon.” A swan shot on the Grand River, near Painesville, O., in the spring of 1882, had al copper tipped arrow through one of its” wings. The shaft of the arrow was of bone. The flesh had grown about it firmly. It was supposed to be an Alaskan arrow, but no one knew for certain. In the fall of 1886 John Simon of Landing, Yolo County, Cal., shot a wild goose. Bur- led in its breast was an ivory arrow head curiously carved. When John Murdock connected with the United States National Museum at Washington read of Simon’s goose he wrote that the ivory arrow head was undoubtedly one made by the Nsquimos of Northwestern Alaska, of which ivory ar- row heads a hundred or more were in the museum. The natives in the neighborhood of Point Barrow make a slender polygonal! arrow head of ivory about five inches iong for the purpose of shooting large birds, such as geese and swans. The Pioneer of Summerside, O., in 1885 told of a wild goose which Benjamin Tanton of St. Eleanors, O., bought that had been shot rivets of for fastening their bows together.

The peapitale viens wee utely unspeakable con re we men on the beds, under the beds and de- tween the beds. Cholera was there, and fever, and smallpox, and every imaginable kind of horror. The hospital service was altogether incomplete. When our party reached the town the one young Ir doctor who had charge of the hospital was without a drop of chloroform, without a surgical instrument Which would do its duty, without an inch of charpie or an inch of bandage. He was a young fellow of extraordinary valor, as he proved over and over again in the course of the campaign, but when we reached him he was in such a state of despair that he was almost on the verge of suicide. “The chief surgeon of our party was Dr. McKellar, now second in command at St. Thomas’ ‘Hospital, London. One day while the fight was going on in the trenches he removed twenty-five limbs. The state of the hospital made it impossible to operate in- doors, and he had set up a — 8 table under the shadow of a mud wall whic surrounded the hospital square, and carried on his work there. The operations were hastily performed, and he was blood from head to heel like a butcher. “I was walkin with a companion, when a siege shell struck the wall and knocked a hole in it, through which a hansom cab might have been driven. It struck within a dozen yards of McKellar, who was at that in- stant in the act of tying up an artery. When the dislodged fragments had all pattered to the ground I ran toward him from the other side of the square. He thrust his blood-stained hands through his gray hair and said quietly: “That was a near shave; bring the next man.’ “T asked him why he had not dropped te avoid the explosion, for he must have heard the shell coming. He answered quite simple that if he had left the man for an instant his life would have been lost.“ So Do Americans.

FILLING A GASOLINE STOVE. In Some Way the Deadly Fluid Was Ignited and the Woman Was Burned Almost to a Crisp. Mrs. Bernard Herman, 29 yéars old, died early Tuesday morning from burns and in- haling the flames of a pitcher of blazing gas>line. Hers is the usual story of a careless wo- man and the gasoline stove. But little is positively known as to how the accident happened, or just what par- ticular act of folly started the tragedy which leaves Bernard Herman a widower with five smal! children to look after. About supper time Monday eveni the neighbors in the rear of South Tenth streét heard an awful scream from the littlé kitchen where Mrs. Herman was in the habit of preparing the family meals. Most of the neighbors were similarly oc- cupied, or busy taking down from the lines the day’s washing, which in South St. Louis is always hu up on Monday. They all deserted their work to see what was the matter. Some rushed over toward Mrs. Herman's kitchen, while others stood still, so badly frightened that they feared to move. An instant later Mrs. Herman rushed through the screen door into the yard. She was wrapped in flames, some of which flared up several feet above her head. She was screaming and crying madly and tearing off her burning clothes ip frantic efforts to free herself from her torment. Some of the women in the yard, fearing to go near her, dipped pails of water from their washtubs and dashed over her, in hope of extinguishing the flames. This seemed to do but lit@e good, but after a few minutes of wild excitement and much running about the neighbors succeeded in wrapping the unfortunate woman in a — and carried her into the adjoining ouse. She was horribly burned from head to foot, but she did not lose consciousness. She asked about her children, who had been in the front room adjoining the kitchen when the disaster accurred. She was told that they were perfectly safe and unhurt, but she would not believe this and insisted upon finding out for herself. She got up from the bed upon which she had been put and walked across the yard into her own home, where she found her children all safe, but badly frightened. The mother was so horribly burned that the younger children fied from her in terror. Then she fainted. Physicians in the neighborhood were sum- moned as soon as possible and they applied oils and balms of a soothi nature in hope of saving the woman’s life, but their efforts were useless and after lingering in agony for ten hours the woman died. Her husband said Tuesday morning that he had not succeeded in 3 from her how she happened to set fire to the fluid. It was her custom, he said, to fill the reservoir of the gasoline stove from an open pitcher. She always did this, however, before light- ing the burners of the stove. hen the accident happened there was no light burning in the room, and as far as anybody knows the stove was not .ghted. In fact, several unlighted matches were still lying on one end of it after the explosion. Mrs. Herman, he said, had tried to tell about the affair, but had inhaled flames and gas to such a degree that it was almost im- possible for her to talk at all. The kitchen is a little narrow room about six feet wide and ten or twelve feet long. The gasoline stove is opposite a door, whic opens out into the yard. A few feet from this door is a flight of steps leading up to the tenement above. One side of this stairway is badly scorched by the flames which enveloped the woman when she rushed out. Mrs. Herman was only 29 years of age, and had been married about ten years. She leaves five young children. 84 IBOT. IS A TERROR. Neighbors Afraid to Testify That He Abandoned His Wife. Mrs. Clara Ibot, aged 34, applied to As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson Wed- nesday for a warrant against her husband i for wife abandonment. Mrs. Ibot said her husband deserted her two weeks ago, after they had been mar- ried just 10 years. He was a mechanic, she said, employed at Runnalls & Wright's car shops on North Broadway, and earned good wages. When he left he told her he would not return, and would do nothing to support her and the three young children. Mrs. Ibot says that her husband had for a long time been addicted to drink, and when in his cups was exceedingly boisterous and disa le, but for her children’s greea sake she tolerated it. Col. Johnson told Mrs. Ibot that she would have to have some witnesses. she had asked Mrs“ R He —. to come Witness. Meisel, who was acquainted with Ibot’s - nacious disposition, refused, saying she was afraid Ibot would kill her if she testified — him. street.

Detective Noland of the Pinkerton force in Chicago is in the city, at the instance of a business men’s organization of the Windy City, and has located, he believes, the plant of the famous Nineteenth Ward thieves of Chicago, the gang which owns “Little Hell” in the city by the lake.
