THE CRUEL HEAT CLAIMS SCORES OF VICTIMS. UNPARALLELED SUFFERING. On the East Side the Hydrants Were Turned On and People Wallow- ed in the Water. NEW Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Last night was filled with horror for many in this city, and this morning broke with the prostrate in every quarter. Yesterday had been oppres- sive beyond the conception of those not en- during it, and hundreds of thousands un- easily wended their way homeward, hoping to get a night of rest, but fearful that they would fall by the wayside en route. On every hand they saw or heard stories of the frightful death-dealing work of the. heat, but few knew the true enormity of the situation. At 6 o'clock the newspaper reports gave thirty-five dead and thirty-seven prostrat- ed. It was 8 o'clock when full reports be- gan to circulate, and from then until long after midnight the list grew until the ap- palling situation fairly dazed those in pos- eession of the facts. It is almost certain that the death list exceeds 190 for the day in Greater New York and the suburbs, while the prostra- tions were fully 300. A policeman fell dead trated woman. Another officer dropped at his post on Allen street. A third died in a hospital. A fireman fell while crossing the street. A workman on a high building Was sunstruck and rolled to the ground offices. Women fell to the floor while shop- ping. A driver fell off the seat of his truck dead. All sorts and conditions of men Are among the victims. Hospital doctors and nurses gave out from exhaustion, and volunteers took their places. Ambulances could not answer all the calls. At Bellevue they utilized supply wagons and even the Morgue dead wagon to bring in the victims of the heat. A ‘demand was made upon the Police Depart- ment for assistance, and the patrol wagons “wert pressed into service as ambvuiances. Gangs of men went through the East Side last night opening every hydrant. From Houston to Division street, east of the Bowery, every street was filled with run- ning water. Half naked men and women plunged into the hydrant streams. Chil- dren lay in the water in the gutters. At Bellevue every available inch of space Was occupied with the sufferers. Never in the history of the institution has it been so crowded. Cots were placed in the passage- ways, and the Siurgiss pavilion for con- valescing surgical cases, which in previous years has been kept closed during July and August, was thrown open. It, too, was filled within a few minutes. Twenty-three doctors stuck to their posts, although some of them were on the verge of collapse themselves. They received wel- come aid during the afternoon, when Miss Ada A. Willard, Superintendent of the Mills Training School, who had heard of the condition of things there, went with twelve of her nurses and voiunteered to help in the work of relief. The condition of things in the other hos- pitais was similar to that at Bellevue. St. Vincent's oniy ambulance was useless, as the horse was in a dying condition from pverwork. During the day Public Works Commission- er Collis promuigated an order that until further orders the hours of duty of laborers on pubiic highways shall commence at 6 a. m. and terminate at ll a. m. This will constitute @ full days work. The repairs of streets will be confined to the shady side of those running north and south. All other repairs, excepting emergency cases, will be postponed. The Poiice and Fire Departments are gut- fering greatly. There were seven policemen who were prostrated in this city and Brook- lyn, and of these five died. Over half the firemen who have been called to Gres during the last five days are inca- pacitated. Harry Hill of St. Louis, a guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was prostrated by the heat yesterday afternoom. He was re- moved to the New York Hospital Hil is a lawyer, and when he went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Sunday night he regis- tered from St. Louis. He was not known at the hotel until he introduced himself as a brother of Napoleon Hill, an Alabama mining man, who stops there several months ef each year. Lloyd Collis, son of Gen. Collis, Com- missioner of Public Works, was responsible for the use of the water on the East Bide. He got hose and a permit to use it. He split a gang of men into squads, Their Was to coo] the asphalt pavement, everything in sight Those that were not hauling hose like veteran firemen were standing in the stream or lying flat on their stomachs in the streets.

COLD WAVE COMING A Drop of About Forty Degrees Ex- pected in Nebraska by Tues- day Night. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. HN. — Reports to the Bee, confirmed by the observations of the United States Weather Bureau, indicate a drop of about 40 deg. by night. A cold wave is sweeping from the Northwest. The mer- cury has fallen 16 deg. at Cheyenne and 12 deg. at Havre, Mont. ILYER IN OHIO. Mr. Bland Predicts That It WIll Sweep the State, Having Outgrown the Republican Politicians. Special] to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Richard P. Bland, who is acting as a special correspondent for the New York Journal during William J. Bryan's trip to the Bast, joined Mr. Bryan at Canton, and wires his paper a | description of the reception there. “There were probably 10,000 or 15,000 people at the depot on the arrival of Mr. Bryan's I am told by those who live here that never before in the history of the town was there such a demonstration.

William Wilson of Eliendale was so badly scalded at thesUnion Depot Railway power house Tuesday morning that he will prob- ably die. He is employed by the company as a boiler inspector and was examining one of the boilers at the power house at Jefferson and Geyer avenues at 8:45 o’clock when the ac- cidemt occurred. Thinking the boiler empty he removed a plug in the back. A torrent of boiling water shot out and drenched him. He was almost parboiled before he could be rescued. He was removed to the residence of Louis Zachritz 1818 Cherokee street. Zachritz is the engineer at the power house. Wilson has a wife and two chfldren. He is 83 years old. VANDERBILT—BEND. Engagement Rumored Again and Again Denied. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—It is again ru- mored that William K. Vanderbilt is to mar- ry Miss Amy Bend at an early date and that arrangements for the wedding are in progress. This is the third time within two years that the rumor has been in circula- tion, but heretofore it has been flatly de- nied. Depew diplomatically denies the ru- mor this time.

The situation there is very grave. The terribly oppressive heat of Monday con- tinues, and there can be no other result than an appalling loss of life. Boston is the hottest place in the country. The mercury registered & there at 7 a. m. This is as high as it went at that hour in St. Louis during our three hottest days. When it is remembered that the humidity is great- er in that section and that the suffering is as intense there as it is here when it is 10 de- 11 1 P. K chet The Old Story of Ingratitude. Democracy (Caesar): And Thou, Too?” | rees hotter, the dreadful significance of the indications become fully apparent. strange coincidence for this time of year is that New Orleans and Chicago reg- istered the same degree of heat at 7 o'clock. Each had 76 deg. It is cool all through the South and Southwest and in the North- west it is almost freezing. At Havre, + a the thermometer opened the day v There is a vere high area in Montana which is gradually 8 East. As it does so the low area which has been stub- bornly hanging over Lake Superior is ex- pected to move on, Then we are expected to have even better times than we are now experiencing. Most any part of 38 deg. would be highly felicitous. St. Louis began the day with a tempera- ture of 78, which is 2 degrees cooler than Monday. Assistant Forecaster Herndon does not think it will fo higher than Mon- day, if as high. This will keep it somewhere about 90—probably just below. The temperature here is expected to re- main stationary Wednesday, although the western part of the State will have it a shade cooler. If there is any rain at all, Mr. Herndon thinks it will be light, although a buffer of clouds will do something toward keeping off the sun’s rays. The little grace which the thermometer has allowed has kept the record of prostra- tions down so that now only those who are unusual! imprudent or constitutionally broken down have much to fear under or- dinary conditions. FATAL CASES OF INSOLATION. With Cooler Weather the Number Is Steadily Decreasing. Joseph Rustemeyer died at the City Hos- pital at 6:45 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was overcome by the heat at Ris home, 2648 Dodier street, at 1:45 o'clock Saturday morning. He never regained consciousness. He was a chairmaker, married, and had a wife and three children, An unknown man died at the City Hos- pital at 1:20 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was a heat victim and was received Mon- day. Henry Winkel died at the City Hospital at 5:20 o'clock Tuesday morning. He was over- come by the heat at 9:15 o’clock Monday night. He was 26 years old, a teamster, and lived at 180644 Cass avenue. Sebastian Odenheimer, 56 years of age, a cigarmaker, 1216 South Seventh street died from the effects of the heat at 210 Bouth Second street. Mrs. Barbara Maleem, 4 years old, 1559 Singleton street, died from insolation. BURIAL PERMIT RECORD. It Shows One Hundred and Twenty Deaths From Heat. The mortuary record of Monday was the heaviest of the year, except that of June 1, when the death roll consequent upon the tornado, broke all records. There were 9% burial permits issued by Mortuary Clerk Karges, and 3 of these were charged to the excessive heat. The first death from heat prostration was on July 28, and the victim was Mrs. Cather- ine Byrnes, who was stricken in Calvary Cemetery while attending the bufial of @ friend. She died the next day at Mullanphy | Hospital.

The convention was held at the Standard Theater, but owing to the torrid atmos- phere and one-sided nature of the proceed- ings there were but few persons present outside the delegates, Chairman James J.

THEIR STATEMENTS CONFLICT. Mr. Long Says Mr. Love Misrepresent- ed Facts and Mr. Love Says He Didn’t. A mild sensation was created on 'Chinge Tuesday morning ‘by a fight between two well-known citizens. The scene of the combat was the corridor leading to the Exchange floor. The combatants were John E. Love, a well-known real estate dealer, and 8, N. Long, president of the Long Syrup Com- pany. It was a very quiet affair. Hardly a loud word was uttered, and when the bulls and bears had eniffed the odor of battle and rushed to the scene it was all over and the men in the hands of peaceful minded bystanders. An eye-witness says that the men were quietly discussing a business matter when a blow was struck and a penknife flashed in the air. Then the man without the pen- knife smashed the other across the neck once or twice and was proceeding further to do business with his antagonist, when the peacemakers interfered. John E. Love had the knife. Mr. Long is a well built man of about 45, whose silver hair and black mustache com- bine to give him a striking appearance.

A bold attempt to escape from the pris- oners’ cage in the First District Police Court was made at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning by four men, who were to appear before Judge Peabody to answer charges of idling. The most desperate in the gang is per- haps “Foxey’’ Reagan, a pal of Jack Bren- nan, the leader of the Blair avenue gang. Court was in progress at the time and a small ante-room, used as a cage to hold ere docketed for trial, was occupied Jake Bowman, Harry Hamilton and * — Reagan, white, and George Reese, colored. Patrolmen Platzer and Peters of the Central District were standing about twen- ty feet from the door of the cage, but not in a position to gee it. . The door is barred and covered with a heavy screen, but the transom is secured only by the screen. Reese had climbed up to this transom, held by the other men and a half.

This audience that I see before me now is only a repetition of what I have seen along the line, and if the silver sentiment continues to increase from how on as it has in the past we will sweep William J.

(Great applause and loud cheering.) 2 ei people in this country know Here Mr. Bland was interrupted by loud cries for Bryan, Bryan, and by the shout which followed the proposal of a double standard advocate for cheers for silver. When the noise had subsided Mr. Bland again proceeded, saying: We propose to put the laboring people of the country to work and not have them tramping for work (great applause and cheering), and this is the great coming up of the plain people of this countr@”’ Again the crowd interrupted the speaker but in a. few moments the silver leader o Missouri continued: “You have got a free silver club?” (Cheers and cries of “Yes.’’) “How many members of that club have you?

As the train drew away from the station hundreds of workingmen strung along the fences of the Pennsylvania road’s great shop yards waved their toll-stalned caps in greeting to Mr and Mrs. Bryan, who returned the salutes. SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. The Family of James B. Lane Uneasy About Him. Special to The Post-Dispatch. WELDON, Mo., Aug. 11.—James B. Lane, aged 40, a painter by trade, left home Sat- urday morning. He left word with a neigh- bor to finish a cistern he had contracted and commenced, for he was going away and he would never return. When last seen he was going in the direction of Lane, III., on foot and with his head down, -muttering. About a month ago Lane and his wife had trouble, over which Mrs. Lane attempted suicide, but was prevented by frends. Mr. Lane's brother of Kenney, III., was at this lace, and he says inganity is in the family. r. Lane’s friends think he has suddenly gone insane. He has a wife and seven children, with no means of support. CONDUIT LEGISLATION. It Will Probably Be Laid Over Until the Fall Term. If the Munieipal Assembly concludes to adjourn Friday until November, it is safe to say that neither the Sutter or Keyes con- duit Bills will become laws until the fall term begins. Ch Bersch of the House Commit- tee o lic Improvements said Tuesday, that his committee had given ne.ther of the bills, n that ne had never even read either bill, and that they had not yet n printed for the delegates. He said that he would probably have a meeting of bs committee to take up the bills Friday. Bersch is very anxious for the As- sembly to adjourn.

There was a deed of trust on it for $1,900, and this incumbrance was to be removed before the consideration passed. Mr. Gerhardt arranged with Mr. Love to raise the necessary $1,900. Mr. Love in- formed me that the money had been raised and the cloud to the title removed. I aft- erwards discovered this to be untrue and charged Mr. Love with misrepresentation. I got after him this morning to clear up the matter and renewed my charges, One word brought on another and we got together.“ Mr. Love was also seen by the reporter. He is a few years older than Mr. Lon and not as heavily built. He says the af- fair was not wort —— About, and de- nied that he had displayed a knife. As to the real estate transaction he said: “My firm had nothing to do with it. We did undertake to raise the money for Mr. Gebhardt, but, owing to the tightness of the money market, failed to do so.” “Did you tell Mr. Long that the money had been raised and the deed of trust for $1,900 satisfied?’’ I did not.” When informed that Mr. Long had repre- sented him as having stated that the $1,900 obligation had been satisfied Mr. Love said: “T am surprised that he should make such a statement.“ TOOK PARIS GREEN. Henry Recker Quarreled With His Father and Followed His Broth- er’s Example. As a result of a quarrel with his father Henry Recker, 23 years of age, attempted to end his life Tuesday by swallowing a large dose of paris green at his home, 4225 Pleasant street. He was writhing in convulsions when discovered and was speedily conveyed to the North Side Dispensary, where Dr. Leg- gett made vigorous use of the stomach pump. Recker was then taken to the City Hos- pital. His condition is considered critical. Only a few weeks ago his brother com- mitted suicide, and it is said his desperate gn was also due to a quarrel with his ather. THE RIGHT TO ARREST. It Obtains in Misdemeancr Cases Only When Technicalities Are Obsei ved. The course of justice is occasionally im- peded by legal technicalities. A case in point was furnished by Tuesday’s session of the Second District Court. man named L. Wisman was arrested June 28 for throwing stones at Motorman Thomas Wood of the Prairie avenue line. The offense was committed at 3:30 in the afternoon at the corner of Jefferson aven- nue and Hibbard street and was not wit- nessed by an officer, but a minute or so afterwards Sergt. Gilmore of the Fourth District came in sight and at the motor- fan's request he took Wisman into cus- tody. After six weeks’ delay the case came up for hearing before Judge Stevenson, when, lo and behotd! defendant’s counse! steppes to the front and moveth the hon- orable court that defendant be discharged because he had been improperly arrested in the manner herein set forth, namely, to-wit: “The officer had not seen the offense com- 8 he had no right to make the arrest. The court granted the motion and dis- charged the prisoner, saying: A police of- ficer has no right to arrest a citizen for a misdemeanor unless he is armed with a war- rant or sees the offense committed.“ The half dozen witnesses who have been dancing attendance on the court for weeks left the courtroom in a dazed condition and heartily indorsing the opinion of the late Mr. Bumble: “The law is a hass.” League Delegates to Chillicothe.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 11.—The Pennsyl- vania Central train, bearing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Mr. and Mrs. Bland and other members of the party, ran into the Pitts- burg depot at 6:50 p. m. Monday. After supper at a hotel Mr. Bryan was escorted to the Grand Opera-house and Avenue Theater, at both of which places meetings were held. At the first meeting Mr. Bryan said: “Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentle- men, fellow-citizens—I thought it might be necessary in coming so far toward the East to bring a few of our people to keep up the enthusiasm while I presented the truths set forth in the Democratic platform. (Loud cheering.) But after I had seen a few au- diences tice this I wondered whether I might not take back a few of you to set an example of enthusiasm to the people of the West. (Laughter and cheering.) There is no more ‘wild West;’ it is the wild East. (Tremendous cheering and laughter and cat sorte.) I am not expected to enter into a iscussion of the issues of the campaign, be- use it is not considerate to discuss the t least for a candidate to do so ntil he has been formally notified of the mination. Therefore, I am going to leave those who come after me the discussion of auch questions as may be pertinent at this time, and I shall simply thank you for this extraordinary and unexpected mani- festation of interest. When I left home I told them that I was coming upon a cam- in what was now considered the ene- s country, and which we ho would be our country before the campaign closed. Therefore, I have been more than gratified to find that it was not necessary to open the campaign in the East; it has already been opened there. But I shall promise you this, t in the progress of this campaign not a single private in the ranks will stand mearer to the enemy’s guns than he in whose hands is the standard. (Cheers. “Weare prepared to defend our platform. It presents, as we believe, those policies which are for the best interests of all the people, and we are not terrified because our enemies have sought to apply to us epithets and hard names when they find ; it impossible to oppose the positions which we have taken. ( Applause.) shall not be permitted to put us in tude of opponents to government, ‘but we sball show them that there is a dif- rence between defending a Government and defending the vicious legislation in- a@ugurated by the Government for private en Andrew Jackson, than whom there never was a braver, truer Democrat, has ressed it well in these words: ere are no necessary evils in government; its evils exist only in its abuses.’ It is true, my friends, that what we attack is the abuses of the Government, and not the Government itself. The worst enemy of this country is the man who seeks unjust legislation or defends unjust legislation after it has been obtained. He is the best friend of the Government who, in the first place, seeks to prevent unjust legislation, and if unjust 11 has been enacted, seeks. to ernse it from the statute book. Who is the best friend of the Government? — the man who secures vicious legislation cause of the pecuniary profit which it brings to him, but the man who loves his Government well that he would make it so good that it would deserve the love of every citizen in it. (Applause.) “My friends, in this campaign there is only one great issue. If that is settled it will not give us a Government perfect in all its details, but that one question must be sett first before other questions can be settied. A nation that is not able to adopt its own financial policy is too impotent to legislate on any question where the people are concerned. (Cheers.) “We do not say that our opponents are in- Bs / sincere; we do not say thev are less honest than we, but when they attempt to say that the American people must be dependent upon the legislative act of some other Gov- ernment, we say it matters not how hon- est * may be, we dare not intrust legis- lation in their hands. (Loud cheering.) 1 have said that in this contest we have a repetition of the contest of 1776, and that in this campaign, as in that, a line will be drawn between the patriot and the Tory, and when I say it, I not say it, my friends, to criticise the man who believes that this nation is not great enough to leg. islate for its own people. He believes it honestly I recall your attention to the fact that in the struggle of our forefathers for liberty there were those who honestly — 5 that we ought to continue in this and the political supremacy of Great Brit- ain. (Loud cheering.) “In this they were but mistaken, and if you go to the cemeteries you will find no monument reared by a grateful people to commemorate the names of those who thought EXnglish domination should con- tinue. (Applause.) “There are people to-day who believe that this nation is not strong enough to legis- late for our people. and theré are people who honestly eve that an attempt to do eo would bring distress and many evils. Wemay respect their honesty, but must we enter into a life and death struggle with them because we assert here that the finan- cial domination by a foreign Power is as us to the libert'es of the people as Er domination? ( Cheers.) desire to thank you for the interest yes have shown in the very beginning of cam . I have no fear that your interest allowed to dle.“ At the meeting at the Avenue Theater Mr. ryan wee troduced to the audience by — 1 Holley, the Chairman of the Demo- ora County Central Committee, as the t President of the United States.

(Tremendous applause.) say that no man can accuse me of attempting to deny the capitalist or the financier the right to have his views and to have his opinion, and to express that opinion. I simply deny to him the exclus- ive right to think upon these subjects. I deny to him the right to act for anybody but himeelf. (Great plause.) “We stand upon the declaration contained in that immortal document penned by the —— constructive statesman the world as ever seen, the Decl tidn of Independ- ence. (Applause.) We stand upon the proposition therein laid down, and would apply those proposi- tions to every act of the legislature as pro- posed. That Declaration says: All men are created equal.’ (Great applause.) And I challenge you to search the Constitution founded upon that Declaration, search it if you will, and point to a single sentence that gives to any class of society superior rights or privileges to any other class of society. (Applause and cheers.) Now, my friends, we are not preaching a new doctrine, we are not preaching a new idea. We are — asserting that the principles that underlie this Government should apply to new conditions as they arise and that you can find out what ought to be done by measuring every proposed public act by the propositions contained in the 8 — Aer and by the pro- e constitution, w upon that declaration.” m We ie based PATRIARCH’S RESIGNATION. Izmirlian’s Withdrawal Is a Matter of : Great Importance. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—A local paper pub- lishes the following correspondence from Constantinople under date of Aug. 6: The sudden resignation of Izmirlian, the of great importance. The resignation itself followed in consequence of a round robin signed by the Armenians employed at the Sublime Porte, asking his Beatitude to take this step in the interests of the Armenian 1 at large. The political importanc of this event con- sists in the fact that the Sultan always P refused to receive Izmirlian. is Majesty had oC reasons for his refus- al, and considered that his honor as a sov- ereign and a man was involved in adhering thereto, whatever the pressure may have been which had been brought to bear on him to depart therefrom, . Now that this obstacle to any possible re- conciliation has been removed, the pros- pects of a satisfactory settlement of the Armenian question is confidently looked for- ward to on all sides, but the Sultan's sine qua non is the frank recognition of the revolutionary character of the late move- ment and submission.

The Cuban General Kept His Last Bullet for Himself. KEY WEST, Fia., Aug. 11.—How Gen. Bruno Zayas, the Cuban leader, met his Rosello, leading attorneys of Cardenas, and Rosello left Cuba several days ago with dispatches for the Cuban Junta 5 New York. They put to sea in an open boat, and licked up and brought to this city by the pilot boat Jewett. Zayas was killed a few days before they left Cuba. It seems that Gen. Zayas and five mem- bers of his staff were lunchin Gabriel, a small village in Havana Prov- ince. The ropeteter of the cafe was a Spaniard, and while Zayas and friends were at table he sent his little daughter to a pene camp near by to notify the troops of the presence of the Cubans. in a few minutes the cafe was surrounded by Span- lards, who demanded the surrender of Zavas and friends. The Cubans refused, and a fight to the death followed. mh a short while the five members of Zayas’ staff were dead, and the General, himself badly wounded, and with only two charges left in his revolver, was alone. Again the Spaniards demanded his surren- der. Zayas’ reply was a bullet which pierced the heart of a Lieutenant. The Spaniards seemed resolved to capture Zayas alive, and rushed Bpon him. As they advanced Zayas laced his revolver against his breast and the last bullet through his heart. and his comrades sold their lives dearly. Sixteen of the Spaniards were killed out. right and eleven wounded. FORMOSA REBELLION. a Hoonim Sacked and Its Japanese Resi- dents Slain. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. II. - Man advices from the Orient tell of a rebellion which has broken out in the center of the island of Formosa. Hoonim, the camphor center, was attacked on the 27th of June. It is supposed the few Japanese there, num- bering about a dozen, including the gen- darmes, were killed, and it is feared that D. D. Ollia, a European, has also fallen a victim. The town is supposed to have been sacked and the loss to foreigners will be considerable. This state of affairs is due to the cruei- ties committed by the Japanese in the coun and to the arrogance and the KE misconduct of officials. Indictments Quashed. ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Aug.

Shea was well acquainted with Tracey and Viehle and when he was brought into the office to take off the stripes and don an or- dinary suit of clothes, he greeted them with a sickly smile and shook hands with both of them.

Shea was handcuffed, and a short loop chain locked the cuffs to the seat. He sat next to the window with his face forward. ge occupied the same seat with him and Viehle rode backwards, /facing the prisoner. Before the train started they began dis- cussing litics, and that was about the only subject that was talked about on the way to Cincinnati. Shea knows every house on the way from Columubs to Cincinnati. Every time the train would cross a railroad or a wagon road he would tell the detectives the name of it and between what towns it ran. He knew every station and cross roads, knew who lived in many of the houses and told the detectives of one place, a tall, white house the train passed, where an old man who had grew rich raising potatoes, and of how he and a pal had planned to enter the place one 8 t over three years ago and carry away the little iron safe in which the farmer kept his money. They waited an hour for a train to St. Louis at Cincinnati and Shea was led up to a lunch counter in the depot. No risks were to be run and Shea sat on a high stool and ate with his handcuffs on. The journey to St. Louis was uneventful. The three men rode in the smoking car, smoked cigars and talked all night. Shea is sick, broken down by hard prison labor. At 9 o'clock he was taken into Chief Harrigan’s office and they shook hands. The ief asked him how he was and he re- Bs He 4 from a deputy the Four Courts, Oct. 2, 1881, and escaped.

Shea was asked if he would not prefer to be hanged to going to Jeffers City for fifty years. “Why, of course not. Haven't I got a chance to get away from there?” was his reply, and he admits that he is still.in the escaping business. Shea composed a song on his arc Conroy, and seemed greatly pleas to sing it for the reporters and detectives at po- lice headquarters Tuesday morning. He is now about 388 years old and an orphan.

Several of the extensions of its opera- tions, and notably the one affecting Con- sular officers, were made without warrant or color of authority under the law. It is clearly possible, under the law as it now stands, to displace any classified employe with any candidate from the eligible list. Under the merit system, which will be a part of the new plan un- der the next Democratic. administration, the way will be open to such changes as may be thought necessary or desirable for the good of the serve. The present law, however, is so filled with ambiguities, and opportunities for oppression, that its reconstruction on Democratic and American lines, and to make it a force for public good and against official aristocracies, must be a repéal of al] its farce and fraud. SOUTH AMERICA AND BRITISH RAG MONEY. The organs of the British financial idea are holding up the South’ Amefgican States as dreadful examples of the ‘evils of a “depreciated currency on a monomet- allic silver basis.“ . This is fortunate, for nothing could do more to rouse Americans to the necessity of immediate reform in our finances than a clear understanding of conditions in South America as they exist under En- glish trade and financial domination of those countries. It is not true, in the first place, that South American countries are on a i- ver basis; They are or a basis of rag money issued chiefly by English bankers through their local agents. According to the circular recently pre- pared by the Cleveland administration— ~.| which will be accepted as McKinley au- thority in favor of maintaining the ex- isting gold basis,“ all the countries of South America have only $30,000,000 in silver, while they have $40,000,000 in gold and 350,000, 000 in paper, largely bank notes issued through corporations controlled in London and other Euro- pean cities. Thus while South America has only 83 cents a head of population in silver, it has $1.11 in gold and $15 in paper. Two things are evident here. First, that South America is impoverished not by the coinage of silver, but by the lack of silver to coin. Instead of “dumping” their silver on South American mints, European countries are keeping it at home, leaving the South Americans to the mercy of the Rothschilds and those great European financiers who put J. Pierpont Morgan and other of their agents in charge of American campaign work in presidential years. South America is a trade-tributary and financial dependency of London. This “WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE FRES OOIWAGE OF SILVER. ** * THE BXISTING GOLD STANDARD MUST BE PRESERVED.”—Republican Plat- form. — fh — was well illustrated by the collapse in the Argentine Republic, where nearly ev- ery bank was under foreign control. The most important banks were English, managed by directors sitting in London. These banks, organized under national and “provincial” authority, had first withdrawn cash from circulation, as the HANDLE OF THE ENIFS. The Republic deals with the call for the | Missouri bolters’ convention in a tender and solicitous way. It is lost in admira- which mark the bolters’ programme. No- where in the Republic’s discussion of the formal declaration of the bolt can any eondemnation of it be found. The Republic's condemnation of the bolters is not necessary to strengthen the conviction of Missouri Democrats that the bolt is without party or public reason or excuse. But Missouri Demo- crate have a right to protest when the Republic discusses the relative strength of the bolters and the Democratic party im this State under the caption: “Two Democratic Tickets.” There is and will be but one Democratic ticket in Missouri this year. Any other ticket than that nominated at Jeffersoh City, calling itself Democratic, will be false and fraudulent; ‘in the United States. agents of English bankers are now doing They had then sub- stituted for it a circulation of paper notes, representing nothing in the world but their desire to swindle and oppress an ignorant people. When the time came for them to default on the payment of these notes a meeting was held in Lon- don, and after the situation had been fully considered, Baron Rothschild, who had volunteered to act as receiver for the sovereign republic they had taken by the throat, announced that he was less interested in the attempt to restore its credit than he was in saving the Bar- ings. It is in this spirit that the South Amer- lean countries are treated by the Lon- don bankers who control them. The poor ignorant South American farmers and the almost equally ignorant mer- chants have no mercy shown them. Their @ scheme to entrap voters; a plan to disrupt and destroy the party; an effort to obtain votes under false pretenses. treachery in the concluding paragraph. There it says: “What will be the effect of an independent Btate ticket on the ticket nominated at Jef- ferson City? Liberal estimates place they standard Democrats in feat Bryan and elect McKinley at 15,000. This, probably, is the outside limit. The Jefferson City nominees can with cheerfu! number and still read their title clear to election by an average plurality of nearly 16,000, provided nothing occurs between now and November 8 to cause thousands of sturdy Democrats in the interior to go fish- ing on election day, as they did in Novem- ber of 84. The Democratic party of Missouri will need, this year, the vote of every man who believes in Democratic principles and prefers Democratic to Republican party government. To encourage bolting as safe and involving no danger of Dem- ocratic defeat is the last recourse of des- perate politicians who have been taught the intensity of Democratic party spirit in Miseouri. It is an effort to lull to repos? in a false sense of security; an strong to be defeated; a most unworthy and most transparent device to ambush the Democratic party. The Republic should be above such ABOUT THE “SPOILS.” Some Washington correspondents think that the clal patronage of the next Out the sweeping extensions of the civil Service law under the present administra- tion as a bar to new appointments.

If he wins his supporters can. mot, of course, hope for much 1— tion at his hands. He will be powerless to reward them for their support of him or of his party. But the Democratic party hes declared in power with a mandate from th to e small stock of silver and gold is cor- nered and forced out of circulation by the same London operators who are cor- nering gold in this country. Cash hav- ing been withdrawn, the English bankers substitute for it their currency of worth- Jess rags. Acting through agents in South America, and having neither shame to check them nor credit to maintain so far i from home, they feel free to do as they please, and so long as they can lend out a dollar of their swindling notes they con- tinue to put them in circulation, regard- less of consequences. Of course, they find Spanish Americans to co-operate with them in this scheme of fraud and robbery, as they easily find helpers in this country. But the system is emphat- ically British. London and not South America is responsible for it. It is in principle the same system which London seeks to impose on the United States. Our silver is to be kept demon- etigzed. Our mints are to be shut. Our gold is to be cornered and kept out of circulation and we are to be compelled to do business with a currency ot cor- poration paper—of British rags—in re- turn for which (borrowed at high rates of interest) we are to issue more bonds to maintain a permanent nationgl debt and to pay interest on it in gold to England forever. GOLD STANDARD WAGES. In 1892, and in other years previous and subsequent to that, Republican journals have printed tables from consular re- ports showing the wages paid mechanics in England. They are not doing it now, because, in urging workingmen in this country to adopt the English single gold standard, they are not anxious to illus- trate the effects of such a standard on wages. The Republican figures of 1892, however, are still available and still applicable. Here they are in part: Carpenters and joln ere House paln terer Blacksmiths —y— —EH 4 Cabinet makers Plasterers Brick mass Printers Teamstere r ͤ6 Iron molders Seeeaeeeeeeeoe eee ee eeeeeee Tailors eres eee eee eee eeee eee eee ee ee eeee Roller maßers 12 00 Day laborer ee 4 00 The list might be continued through- out the whole industrial line, but the 1 showing wages in lines in which the mass of worke— are em- — — 2e oO @ SSSSSSsssesss — & t everywhere em: W mustrate what de- present plank of his platform to carry out the Ananclal policies of the Cleveland Ad- ministration and to maintain the existing But as he is koo plank tle differ- are unwise conditions at the Treasury. not goimg to be elected, the of the platform makes very ence except to those who enough to vote for it, The latest returns from the back dis- tricts of Alabama leave no manner of doubt of what the mortgaged American farmer is going to do in November. He is going to cast his entire voting strength against the sort of a dollar that means fivercent cotton and eight-cent corn. When Mr, Bynum called the bolter committee to order at Indianapelis, he ann that Gen. Bragg and Senator Palmer were detained by washouts, It is the silver wave that is rolling over Bragg and Palmer, and it will strangle Bynum, too, before he can swim out. —ͤ—— — — Mr. McKinley has had more hope since the goldbug bolters have been trying to organize. But the bolters cannot stop the great silver tide any more than can Mr. McKinley, who was himself, not long ago, an emphatic advocate.of the white money of the Constitution. 36 The influence of John M.

Sims Reeves is about to make a tour through the British colonies, including Aus- tralia, where he gave a series of farewell concerts a few years ago. John Morley was once asked concerning the influence that had molded his life. Pointing to portraits of John Stuart Mills and Mr. Gladstone, he replied: “These two men have made me.“ C. E. Monroe, chairman of the Democratic County Committee of Iowa, rides the bike a great deal. He is a century rider and has a fine record at long distances. He does not like bloomers or new women. Father Stojalowski, the Polish Christfan Socialist, who was recently suspended from his priestly functions by the Papal Nuncio at Vienna, is going to run for the Reichs- rath in a district now represented by a priest. The late M. de Goncourt, who hated or- dinary costume, had expressed a wish to be dressed out in a white robe for burial, since “he did not wish to appear before God dressed like a fool,” but his friends did not comply with his wish. —— WOMEN OF NOTE. Miss Dora Moody, a Brattleboro (Vt.) girl, who is in California, recently ascend- ed Mount Hood, a feat only accomplished by few. She is the first woman who ever walked to the summit. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is now at her Newport home. As her daughters and niece are in Europe, Newport fashionables will probably miss the enjoyable picnic Mrs. Howe has been accustomed to give annually. Mrs. Langtry’s greatest hobby appears to be the collection of silver trifies, from the tiny silver furniture of a doll’s house up to the exquisite model which stands on a beautifully inlaid table in a window recess of a large ship under full sail. Much as Princess Maud loves Denmark, it has not, however, usurped her affection for England, for it is stated, on good au- thority, that she has exacted from Prince Carl a very decided promise that he will purchase @ small property in her native land. Lady Mary Bligh, whose sad death by drowning. occurred at Cobham Park, Gravesend, was a descendant of the same family which gave a second husband to Mary Stuart. Lady Mary’s father, the pres- ent Earl of Darnley, descends from John Bligh of Plymouth, à citizen of London, who was employed as an agent of the adventurers for the forfeiture of the estates of the rebellion of 1641 and in that capacity arrived in Ireland during the dictatorship of Cromwell.

According to a lady who has lived in Jerusalem for forty years, the Jewish pop- ulation of that city is increasing. Twen- ty-two years ago,“ she says, “there were only between 15,000 and 2,000 Jews in Jerusalem, In those days no houses were to be found outside the magnificent walls, the gates of which were closed at night. Since then many changés have teken place, and the Hebrew vopulation—mainly on account of the increase of the Jewish im- migration from Rugsla—now stands at de- tween 60.000 and 70,00 Whole streets of op the site of the ancient suburban dis- tricts, which for hundreds of years have re- mained deserted. It is not, however, only in Jerusalem itself that the Jews abound; but throughout Palestine they are buying farms and establishing themselves in a surprisingly rapid manner.

Mr. Rouss is the New York multi-mill- fonaire, who has offered a million dollars for the restoration of his eyesight, now nearly destroyed by too close application. He has a “substitute,” on whom experi- ments are made. If he is cured it will be Mr. Rouss’ turn, who is thus saved much annoyance and probably useless trouble. Campaign Tricks That Are Vain. From the Washington Post. Several thousand Michigan miners have been thrown out of employment in order that they may have an “object lesson” on the financial question. This is a mode of campaigning that will not appeal to the American people, and it is very likely to react on the party that advises and countenances it. — Boomerangic. From the New York Journal.

VON DER AME WILL NEVER SELL Has ud Two Handsome Offers This Season, but Refused Them— Sporting News. Local base ball circles have recently been agitated by a rumor to the effect that Chris Von der Ahe was about to dispose, or had already privately disposed, of the St. Louis base ball franchise in the National League and American Association of Base Ball Clubs. The rumor was well defined and came from a usually reliable source. It was trimmed throughout and bore every appear- ance of probability. 1 A thorough Investigation by the Post- Dis- patch proved that there was nothing in it save wind. It was so well founded that it mentioned fhe name of the man who had, according to the wise ple, had an optign on the fran- chise, or had, in fact, already’purchased it. It was stated that Mr. William Nolker of the Brinckwirth-Nolker Brewing Company had secured the franchise from Chris Von der Ahe, the present holder. According to the mental we amme of the circulators, Mr. Von der Ahe had decided to retire ea business and live the life of a man of leisure. They had a nice trip to Geimeny wares out for him after he ha qu't base ball in St. Louis. Mr. Nolker told a Post-Dispatch reporter that there was no truth whatever in the story as far as it concerned him. “T have a few shares of stock in the club,” he said, “that I have held ever since it was incorporated. I have not tried to buy the franchise, nor do I want it. Mr. Von der Ahe is at present in West Raden Springs, Ind., on a pleasure trip. Secretary Muckenfuss, his confidential man, laughed when asked whether his employer contemplated a retirement from base ball. “Mr. Von der Ahe will be in base ball as long as he lives,” said Mr. Muckenfuss. “He would part with everything he has in the world rather than let go of the base ball franchise. That is everything to him. He grew up with base ball. It made him wealthy and famous. No; he may sell the race track, the chutes, all his personal property, but never his franchise. “Why should he? He is still a young man, and has to have something to do. He cannot live anything t a dusy life. He works hard, and the team is, even as a tail-ender, a money maker. He made $20,- 000 last year on it, and will make as much this season. If he can get a first division team together he will make $75,000 next year. “I know it has been rumored that he wanted to sell the franchise. Several wealthy men have heard it, and Mr. Von der Ahe has had two splendid offers to buy it. But it can’t be bought, because he would not sell it at twice itg market value. “The St. Louis franchise and team is a very valuable property. The franchise has yet five years to run and will probably be renewed at the expiration of that time. St. Louis is one of the best base ball cities in America, and with a ae team the profit would be enormous and hard to esti- mate. Experts say that a first division team would net its owners from $75,000 to $100,000 in a season.“ MORE TROUBLE. President Young Says the Transferred Sames Must Go to Cincinnati. Chris Von der Ahe does not want to play in John T. Brush’s little back yard, where an alleged umpire named Lally, a mixed-ale $5-a-go scrapper, who owes his job to John T., gives games to the Reds, slugs opposing players and has them arrested. : But John Tenuity Brush has a way of his own, and it looks as if Chris’ Browns will slide down his cellar door next Satur- day and 2 7 It will not be forgotten how some time ago Chris, disheartened by the poor playing of his team, and consequent light attendance at home games, joined the tenoug Indian- apolitan, who owns the Cincinnati team, in a prayer to the League magnates to allow them to transfer the games scheduled for St. Louis on Aug. 15 and 16, to Cincinnati. Chric wrote a letter to Nick Young, asking for the transfer. Brush and Von der Ahe succeeded in get- ting the consent of every club save Balti- more. Hanlon was afraid that if the Cin- cinnatis had too many games at home they might with the assistance of Mixed Ale Scrapper Lally beat him out for the pen- nant. So the negotiations were declared off, so Von der Ahe thought. John Tenuity thought different. He went after Hanlon, got his consent to the trans- fer and wrote to Chris to have his team show up to be robbed and jailed by Lally and Happy Sam Saffin, another of the Brush-Weldon proteges. Chris kicked and swore he would not go. He telegraphed Nick Young that all the ne- otiations were off when anlon first re- used to consent. President Young telegraphed yesterday that he had Mr. Von der Ahe’s letters requesting the transfer, and that as the League had ordered it Chris would have to play in Cincinnati or be fined $1,500 a game for failing to show up for the poner. “A 8 1 be played .

Mr. Henry Troll, Sheriff of the City of St. Louis: Dear Sir—This is to notify you that this company claims the sixty-five shares of the capital stock of the National Bank of Com- merce in St. Louis, Mo., represented by certificate No. 1503, levied upon by you as the property of the defendant Rainwater in an execution issued out of the Circu Court of the City of St. Louis upon a judg- ment rendered by said Circuit Court on behalf of Simon L. Boogher and against S vv e e D een PRENCH BONELESS * SARDINES! 2 . 0 CONRAD'S, ter ® NEW ERA IN CANADA. States Foreshadowed. MONTREAL, Ontario, Aug. 11.—Wilfrid Laurier, the new Prime Minister of Canada, looks like a man of 3 or #, although the books tell us that he was born in 1841, and is therefore 565 years old. He has a very attractive face and manner, and one can- not talk with him five minutes without de- tecting the secret of his power in politics. He is fairly worshiped by the French por- tion of the population, When I told Mr. Laurier that the victory of the Liberal party in Canada and his said C. C. Rainwater et al. The right, title and interest of this com- pany in and to such property and shares of stock is as collateral security for indebted- ness of said Rainwater to this company, amounting, principal and interest, at this date, to $8,514.16, and bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. St. Louis Trust Company, by John D. Filley, Secre- tary ”’ Mr. Filley’s affidavit was appended to the cla'm. The Bank of Commerce stock owned by Maj. Rainwater was one of the pos tense upon which Mr. Boogher hoped to re . POWER FOR PACHUCA. Important Silver Mines in Mexico to Resume Operations. MEXICO CITY, Mex., Aug. Il.—The Reglo Electric Power Transmission Co. of Pachuca will begin the last of this month to send power into that important mining city from water falls, 2 miles distant, and it is estimated that it will be able to furnish 1,200 horse power. Several great reduction works will take this power at an annual charge of $2.50 per horse re twenty-four consecutive hours. The el- ton water wheels re employed and all machinery and supplies are from the United States. A stiff improvement in mining 2 and a revival of speculation is pre- icted. Gov. Martinez will probably be triumph- antly re-elected next month in the State of ueblo. He is an active, progressive Official who has been ndly to all Amer- ican interests. The formal announce- ment of the re-election of President Diaz will soon be made. The appointment of the new Governor of the Federal District, Eubolkar, gives universal] satisfaction, as he is a man who will protect the interests of foreigners. There is a notable increase in manufacturing industries in the Federal district and many installations of new ma- chinery are being made. The Federal rev- enues are unexpectedly heavy. RAILROAD MAN MISSING. Unaccountably Vanished From Sight in Chicago. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Winfleld H. Scott, Chief Clerk of the Santa Fe Railroad and one of the best known railroad men in Chicago, has been missing from his home, No. 33 Walton Place, for a week. He was last seen when he left his office on the even- ing of August 3. Since then friends of the missing man have visited morgues, hos- pitals, and police stations, but not the least trace of Mr. Scott has been found. In the minds of his friends there are but two theories to account for his disappear- ance, One is that he has been foully dealt with and the other is that, overcome by the excessive heat, he has become insane and has wandered from the city. HAD A CLOSE CALL. Narrow Escape From Sinking of the Schooner Point Arena. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug..11.—The steam schooner Point Arena, bound from this city to Mendocino, went on the rocks at midnight near Point Reyes. The Cap- tain, Andrew Johnson, her master, was on the bridge when she grounded. He at once began to back her and within ten minutes she was free of the rocks. As soon as the vessel was loosened the water be- through a hole in her port ow, tust gy of the forward hold. hnson headed for this city and — . 4 under a full head of steam, the pumps being kept in action all the while. By the time she reached the Mission street ier, where she was docked, there was our feet of water in her forward hold. JUDGE BLAND’S CANDIDACY.

Ill, A il.—The miners at ** and the Little Muddy coal mines went out on a strike yesterday for an advance of 7 cents per box for miné¢rs. Harry Mathews of St. Louis, one of the re of the Little Muddy coal n w the market. N appointment as Premier were considered good cause for congratula tions in the United States, as they offered hopes for more frtend- ly relations between the two countries, he smiled and said: appreciate the kindly feeling of your | people most sincerely, and I am sure their confidence has not been misplaced. The Liberal Government which has just taken office desires and intends to signalize its administration by a renewal of neighborly relationg with our friends across the border. Some years ago when considerable friction had been created by the North Atlantic fishery troubles, I took an opportunity to say that the question should be adjudged in @ manner becoming an enlighten and friendly people by the simple process of give and take, and I do not see now why we should not make an arrangement re- sembling that effected under the treaty of Washington in 1871 and the treaty of 1864, whereby not only the ports but the Inshore waters of countries were thrown open to the fishermen of both on equal terms, and the markets for the fish of the two countries made equally free. That, it seems to me, would be the sensible way of settling | the fishery question, The North Atlantic fisheries would be more valuable to the United States and Canads alike if some such arrangement were adopted. “Then,” said Mr. Laurier, in reply to a question as to the canal question, “up to date we have spent $60,000, on our canals, and are aiming at 4 20-foot channel from the canals below Kingston to Moni.ieal. It goes without saying that very great benefits would be conferred upon the farmers of the Western and Northwestern States, no less of course than upon the farmers of the Canadian Northwest, if the great lake steamers could load at Port Arthur and ' Duluth and carry produce without 3 bulk as they have to do now at the Wellan and again at Prescott, right through to Og- densburg, Kingston, Oswego, Montreal or Quebec, and carry back merchandise and manufactures for the western settlers at cheap rates. Farm produce is low the world over, owing to the immense production which modern science—the self-binder, the railroad and the compound marine engine— has rendered possible, and, so far as I can see, it is not likely to reach its former price for some time, if ever. A twenty- one foot channel from Lake Superior and Lake Michigan to the Atlantic ocean would | the « Erie through the Welland canal and Colored people of Bowling Green, to y from the Eastern States and give him lower transportation rates for what he has to sell. suppose, too, that a re- duced rate on the lakes and the St. Law- to We the cost of what the farmer has | rence water route would oblige the railroads | north, that is in Canada, and south, that is | in the United States, to meet it with equally low rates to and from the seaboard during ne 82 of navigetion. so that the farmer ar inlan rom e route would experience equally good effects.’’ Half Rates to St. Louis.

As a gentle, pleasant laxative he considers them “superior to any medicine he has ever used.” Mr. Lukens is well known as the New York agent of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Times, and often has experiences to undergo. He relates that on one occasion, in company with a newspaper publisher and another gentleman, he spent a most pleasant evening and they all indulged in refreshments of so many kinds and so freely, that the next morning Mr. Lukens had “a double-coating on his tongue that was almost seal green.” “I was bilious,” ) continued Mr. Lukens, “and was adviged by one ol my companions. . who had been through the mill . before, to try Ripans Tabules, which I did with most pleasant and surprising results. The dis- tressed feeling in the pit of the stomach speedily disappeared after taking two Tabules.” When a copy of this testimonial was shown to Mr. Lukens, so as to make certain that there was no mistake about it, he read it care- carefully through and said: Well, that was just exactly the way it was now, certain.” One Gives Relief. are sold by — a Don) 9 — — — No. MEDICAL.

Now the anti-Filley men think they gee a chance to make things lively for the boss.“ Weighed down with his Senatorial candi- dacy and prowpates from using his type- wr:ter by the extreme heat, they think they have him handicapped.

Bunker, a Pittsburg traveling man, occupies a cell in the City Hospital, where hé is being held for observation. He was seen by the police wandering about a hotel at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets Monday night muttering to him- sel Land acting in a crazed manner. The officers thought was demented and con- veyed him to the City Hosp.tal. Bunker is a rather fine looking man, and Tuesday morning when he was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter, he appeared per- fectly rational. “I had been in business in Pittsburg fo a number of years,” said Mr. Bunker, always prospered until about a year ag when the hard times began to affect my business.

There was quite a little sengation sprung on the Board of Public Improvements at its meeting Tuesday morning by the Patrick Lyon Construction Co. charging one of the sewer department inspectors with extor- tion and oppression in office. The Lyon Construction Co. is one of a number of bidders on a large quantity of sewer work for thé city, and has from time to time done a great deal of similar work. The contracts on which this firm has bid have not as yet been let to any con- tractor, and the action taken on the affi- davit filed may have a great deal to do with the letting. , its 1 n n Avit, says that Inspector Smith d time to time, while inspecting * borrow sums of five, ten and twenty dollars until 2 total was in the neighborhood rot $150. None of this he paid back, or even A to pay back. Final! for , It is charged, he made a demand a lump, saying he had some in- — to > pee and needed the money. He was refus Then he said he would get even, and pro- ceeded to do so by a series of petty annoy- ances, such as ordering men off work, re- fusing to pass good work and other small impositions. Lyon got tired of this sort of thing finally and made a formal complaint to the Sew- er Commissioner in the shape of an affi- davit. The matter was referred to the Committee on Sewers and Plumbing, con- sisting of President MaMath and Commis- sioners Colby and Holman. A meeting of the committee was called for 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon to take action. The aff.davit was not made a matter of record in the board, but went from the Commissioners to the committee, or, in pocket. it was directed against him personally, such an avers.on did he show to discussing it. He stopping to answer his inquirer, but merely mumbled something to the effect that the matter would be public property at 3 o'clock, and not before. When chased intg his office and in a meas- ure cornered,the commissioner suddenly had business in another room, which he hasten- ed to attend to. The substance of the affidavit is, how- ever, as already stated, and may cause a very radical chan in the letting of the bids for sewer work on this last bidding. LEE WILL QUIT.

Taken Into Custody to Prevent Her From Killing Herself and Her Children. — — Mrs, Ada Davison was taken to the City Dispensary from 1623 Olive street shortly after noon Tuesday, violently insane. She was in the custody of Detective Keeler, who had been called in by the fam- ily with whom Mrs. Davison had been stop- ping. Mra. Davison is a remarkably fine-look- ing woman—a perfect blonde. She was wild while at the Dispensary and talked in- coherently of her husband having deserted her. She was sent to the City Hispital for observation.

Ten days ago Mrs. Davison returned with her little ones to the Children’s Home and told Mrs. Abrams that she was in want. Mrs. Abrams took her, provided her with food and clothes and gave her a room in the basement. “She had not been in the house an hour when I saw that she was demented because her husband deserted her,“ said Mrs. Ab- rams, and her fears, She fancied that detectives were Furs to arrest her, that the family next r was complaining about her be- cause her little boy picked up a cigar stump.

(THEODORE DANERI’S WINE BOOM ON PINE STREET. W 0 NO FRILLS AND NO SCRUPLES. It Is Plain, Old, Hideous, Squalid Wice in the Former Haunt of % Scarlet Women. One of the toughest, most depraved dis- ¢ricta in St. Louis is that contiguous to the old quarter around Thirteenth and Pine Streets, consigned up to a year and a half ago, to scarlet women. It is worse now than it was in the old days. Then, although the streets were lined with immoral houses, there was a certain restraint about it. Policemen were sta- tioned thickly aboyt. The inmates of all the houses were known to the police. They could live there only by sufferance. They were oitiaws. They had no rights that the department of justice was bound to respect. They appreciated this and guarded their conduct accordingly. Now it is different. The regular houses @re gone. A low class of people, in the main, have taken their places. Many of them are tough negroes. Street walkers and evil women of all kinds have drifted in. There are pirates in even this disreputable business. These people are not so well known to the police. Life is a harder strug- Fie. hence they are more desperate. hey have less to lose. This is the district and this is the class of people that Mr. Theodore Daneri has taken it upon himself to cater to. He has a saloon on Fourteenth and Pine streets. Mr. Daneri is a young man, but he is a tough one. He has seen only one side of fife, and that has been composed of the dark ages of sin. Mr, Daneri a face that resembles an intelligent bull dog’s. It would do very well for that of a political bruiser in one of uck’s cartoons. Still he is a od fel- | ow. All his patrons vouch for him, and therefore it must be go. One of the gentleman's chief distinctions in his relationship to the Hon. Joe Daneri, @ representative in the Missouri Legisla- ture. He has the honor of being a younger brother to this distinguished individual, who, when not busy with affaires of state, is engaged in selling booze to scarlet wo- men and the worthies they reward with their loves. Theodore doesn’t cut as much ice poli- tically as Joseph, but he is not one whit behind him in the way he runs his saloon. It stands on the southeast corner of Four teenth and Pine streets, in a three-story brick building. The “ladies” entrance“ is on Fourteenth street back of the saloon. The “ladies’’ who assemble in the little wine-room back here are very proud of this title. It is almost exclusively self-applied, and should anyone have the temerity to Gainsay it it is maintained with so rous @ series of expletives as to stop all argu- ment if not to enforce belief. The wine room downstairs is a very ordi- nary affair. Practically no effort at privacy is made. One would imagine on passing that the proprietor mistrusted his guests and feared for their conduct, were he to give them an opportunity of despoiling them- selves according to the dictates of their own Sweet will. e A passer-by on the street can see right into the room. It is open to the gaze of all. There are no curtains to decelve you, and if you don’t happen to know Mr. Daneri you get the impression that he must have con- ecientious scruples which unfit him for busi- ness in this locality. But if you do happen to know Mr. Daneri or take the trouble to investigate u will find that he never allows such a little thing as a regard for morals to interfere with his pursuit of the elusive dollar. There is another wine room upstairs where ladies and gentlemen may go when they do not wish to be used by the rot seter to prove to the world that he runs his place on the level.“ If the opportunity is all that ladies and entlemen — J this upper room desire or the accomplishment of any object they may have in view, Mr. Daneri gives it to them in proportion to the amount of drinks they buy. The more drinks pur- chased, the more opportunity for tete-a- tetes. A tough young gentleman who spends most of his time and all of his money in an examination of saloon and wine-room interiors, both with and without the soft- ening influence of female companionship, was discussing the various joints last night and passing an opinion on the relative toughness of each. “The. Danert's,“ he said, rooster’s all right, he is. in his wine- room.“ This does Mr. Daneri an apparent in- justice. He has no beds in his wine-rooms, upstairs or down, and the opinion of the tough young man is given only because he is so profound a student of wine-rooms and their comparative merits. The tough young man was using a figure of speecn to convey the idea that Mr. Dance had no objection to his customers Going as they pleased. While not furnish- ing beds, if his customers grow sleepy and — they see beds he enters no objec- on. There are beds, however, under Mr. Dan- ers roof. They may be rented, together with a room, by anybody with the price, the proprietor showing no disposition to in- quire into whether you come from Tusca- loosa or Kalamazoo. In fact he asks no uestions except when it is necessary to iscover whether or not there is a sufficient amount of money forthcoming to pay him for his trouble. This is one of the reasons why he is called a good fellow. If anyone oonnected with ment of the laws of Missouri and the ordi- nances of St. Louis should take it into his ead to see whether or not Mr. The. Da- neri is observing all the legal requirements in the management of his popular resort, it might worry the bulldog-faced proprie- tor. ut there is no danger. While there are laws which directly af- fect his place and which if enforced would result in the revocation of his license, it te the business of nobody to enforce them. hat's what the officials say, and they ought to know, because the people them for attending to their business.

A Post-Dispatch reporter visited the Hickey home Tuesday. It is a wretched hovel in the rear of 1112 North Tenth street. There was no one at home but Hickey’s daughter, Millie, a young woman of about 2. According to her account her father is only inclined to be cruel when in his cups. He was one of four to give large patches of skin and flesh to be grafted on his son's body. The pieces were taken from both arma, causing sores that digabled him for a time. This brought on fit of despondency and drove him to drink, When not in his cups Hickey is said to be a good father and kind husband. He took the boy, Willie, back home soon after the ambulance left and went to work Tuesday morning, though his arms still cause him great pain. JOHN HENRY DIED.

When John Mehringer read in the Post- Dispatch that Wataga, the Indian maid, had been overcome by the heat and was a Tr at the City Hospital, he was over- Not that he rejoiced in the misfortune of anyone, but because it gave him an oppor- tunity to renew his acquaintance with the — Wataga, whom he had not seen since 8 ay. Mehringer is a dairyman and lives at 6923 Old Manchester road. His friend, Mr. Al- len, an express messenger, is a close neigh- bor. Last May Wataga was employed as a servant in the Allen household. ue to the traditions of her race, she formed a strong attachment for firewater, and she imbibed freely. With a good-sized “jag” on, and a big knife in her hand, she made a murderous assault one day on Mrs. Mehringer. For awhile the latter did not think her l'fe was worth very much, but when Wataga fin- ished, and a surgeon examined Mrs. Meh- ringer, it was found she was worse fright- ened than hurt. The matter was reported the police and they began looking for the “Indian maiden. Se was lost to the worl however, and M. Mehringer thought she had returned to her forest home. o lost all track of her and never heard again of her till Old Sol singled her out for one of his victims. Then Mr. Mehringer thought his time had come. He hastened down to the hospital Tuesday morning intent on turning her over to tre police. hen Dr. Sutter told him that the girl had shaken the dust of the hos- ital from her feet and had gone hence, ehringer shook his head sadly and depart- ed, but renewed his vow of vengeance and said he would bide him time, and in the end Wataga must answer in the Police Court for her savage attack on his wife. HAS LEFT HIS PARTY. A. P. Johnson Says He Will Not Sup- port McKinley. A. P. Johnson of Carondelet, who for years was prominently identified with the building business, has renounced his Repub- —— and come out for Bryan and free silver. Mr. Johnson has been active in Repub- lican councils a long time, and up to the National Republican Convention was loyal to that party, but the goldbug platform was too much for him, and he halted. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday he said: Jam satisfied that the country will not prosper if the single gold standard is con- tinued. The only hope for a betterment of the times, in my judgment, is the tri- umph of free coinage, and I intend to vote the Democratic ticket at the coming elec- tion. It will be the first time in my life that I have voted that way, but I am act- ing on conviction. The repeal of the Sher- man law was a terrible blow to this coun- try, and so was every other attack on sil- ver. Legislation in the interest of gold has always worked distress, and the con- tra haa been the case with silver. I am for Bryan, and I know hundreds of my Re- publican friends who propose to vote the “Those who think there are not many Republicans dissatisfied with the National platform ought to get out in the country where I have been and learn for them- selves the widespread atisfaction.
