HE Result of the Post-Dispatch Exposure of the Boston Drug Co.’s Loathsome Dive. Lewis Silverstone was put behind the bars at 1 o'clock to-day charged with unlawfully selling a poison. This is the result dt the Post-Dispatch exposure of his nefarious traffic. Chief Harrigan has giver his subordinates orders that they prosecuts the man with the utmost vigor, and every eifort will be mado to punish him. The warrant was sworn out Saturday noon. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson swore to the informaticn himself. The section of the Missouri statutes under which the prosecution will be made is No. 4618. It deals with the sale of poisons and makes it a misdemeanor for any druggist to sell poisons without registering the name ol, the purchaser and the purpose for which the drug was bought. This Silverstone failed to do and thus ren- dered himself amenable to the law. The punishment which may be assessed is a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $50. The warrant was put in the hands of De- tectives McGrath and Anderson for service. These two officers worked up the case in conjunction with the Post-Dispatch re- porters on the night the information was obtained upon which the expose was founded. The information as to the existence of the joint was laid beforg the police au- _thorities by the Post-Dispatch, and there- fore the detectives were accompanied by the reporters. The officers went straight to the drug Store of the Boston Drug Co., at Twelfth and Franklin avenue, where the den is. The proprietor was at dinner, but the day clerk was extremely obliging. There was not the “I know my business” air About the place that was noticeable on the previous visit. The dressing-down Silverstone received and the exposure which was made of his nefarious practices apparently had made the entire establishment quite civil. The only objection the day clerk entered to his visitors, whom he this time took ‘to be reporters, was that other drug stores were not also written up. . ie claimed they all sold cocaine, just as Silverstone has done. The clerk obligingly told the detectives that his 1 had gone to dinner, to his home at ll orth Compton avenue, and my A immediately boarded a car for that piace. They found him eating dinner. He was the most polite man that ever sold cocaine. When informed that he was under arrest, he grinned in a sickly sort of way and an- nounced his willingness to go along. He was not put to the humiliation of a ride in a patrol wagon, but was taken to the Four Courts in a street-car. “It amounts to nothing.“ he said, “the only th.ng I object to is that they single me out. All drug stores do the same as I do, and it’s not right. I wonder why they got after me.“ It was suggested that it probably was because of the back room where he allowed immoral women of the neighborhood to gather and indulge in their cocaine drunks. “But there was no back room,” he insist- ed most strenuously. On my honor, there was not. 1 wouldn’t have such a thing.“ As allowances were made for his per- turbed state of mind, his protestations were not denied, despite the fact that he had in the most definite way told both detec- tives and the Post-Dispatch reporter on the night of their investigation that he used the back room for the women to in- Aulge in their drug. Apparentiy Mr. Silverstone has com- menced to trim already for the storm he anticipates in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection when his case comes up. The Boston Drug Store's cocaine joint is in Capt. Joyce's district. A Post-Dispatch reporter saw Capt. Joyce this morning and asked him what steps he has ever taken to break up Silverstone’s dive? “We tried to break up the business about three months ago,“ replied the Cap- tain, “and arrested two women, who were caught coming out of the back door of the Grug store, where they had been snuffing cocaine, but the court decided that there was no law against snuffing cocaine, and the women were discharged. 4 „ as that all you did? bit 5 vou take any steps agalnst the pro- 3 of the drug store?“ 9 „bv r. “Because the Court decid cocaine Was no offense.”’ ous a 1 a aoe t you see ee act of using the dru act of selling it without com 8 with ze Weep ations 8 by ordinance?’ s no ordinance regulatin — a 2 The ordinance pub ished Hon coca N ost-Dispatch does not men- Captain had the ordinance before — regulated the sale of the following Schedule “Ao tions. biniodide rseenic and jum, hydrocia ther poisonous nlc acid, Salts, and the edule “B"—opium the distinction be- —ä— aco um.

With a Capacity of Thirty-Six Thousand Barrels. here, owned by the Standard Oil Co. the fire has cOmmunicated to three others. The Standard people have hired 300 men to throw up embankments and have their can- non on the ground and are shooting the tanks to let the oil out. The smoke from the wusning oS obscured the sun and made it as dark an eclipse. The loss will reach $75,000. EXPRESS MEN STRIKE. Over Six Hundred Employes of the Adams Company Go Out. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Over 600 employes of the Adams Express Co. have struck in this and adjacent cities to-day. Dissatis- fied employes called on President Weir yes- terday. They asked for the reinstatement of men discharged to reduce expenses. The were over + © Bote that the employes ed. rwor th the employes in this city last night showed that a strike was under con- sideration. ~The employes first denied all knowledge of any about such a move- ment, but finally admitted that one was contemplated. A meeting of Jersey City employes, who are in the Knights of Labor, was held late last night. Some of the men said there would be a strike this morning. Others, who appeared to be in a minority, said the threatened strike would probably be averted, or, if resolved upon, would not begin on Saturday morning. Later reports just received declare that over 600 employes of the Adams Express Co. have struck. The men allege that since President Weir took charge of the company’s affairs in the Kast wages have been reduced about one- third, and many old and efficient servants of the company have been discharged for triv- jal reasons. At the offices of the company here and in Jersey City it was reported that business was being transacted with but little de- lay; that porters have been sent on from Philadelphia and other points. EDDIE IS A TERROR. His Father Wants Him Arrested on General Principles. Eddie Quinn is an incorrigible youth who has given his parents no end of trouble. Only 18 years old, he has served three sen- tences at the House of Refuse and is de- _— familiar with the interior of Nick arr Work-house. * Eddie’s father, Charles E. Quinn, 1238 Wash street, was a caller at the warrant office Saturday and wanted Col. Dick Johnson, the Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney, to iss a warrant against his son for any charge that would give him and his family some respite. Mr. Quinn said his son was a veritable terror, He would not work and if his father or mother refused to give him money to buy beer with he would tear up the furniture and threaten to kill them. Ever since the boy has been of any size he has iven his parents trouble. Three times he as been to the House of Refuge and he was only released from the eee two weeks ago. He had just finished a three months’ sentence for throwing a brick at hfs father’s head. Col, Johnson thought a son with so violent a disposition should be punished and a warrant was issued charging the boy. with disturbing the peace. THE WEATHER. Partly Cloudy Saturday and Sunday— Stationary Temperature. For St. Louls and vicinity—Partly cloudy Saturday night and Sunday; stationary tem- perature. Missouri—Partly clou Saturday night and Sunday; cooler in the west and central portions Sunday afternoon. Ilinois—Increasing cloudiness Saturday night and Sunday, with probable showers in north portion. The barometer is highest in the extreme Northwest and is low from Nebraska west- ward through Southern Wyoming to Utah. Temperature changes have generally been slight in all sections.

Thompson, the fireman, who is fatally scalded and cut, and Grant Overly, brake- man, who is terribly cut, were bought to Belpre, O., opposite, together with R. Or- gan, postal clerk. All passéngers were brought east to Belpre, O. The cause of the wreck is said to have been a misconstruction of orders on the part of the freight engineer. The engineer of the freight had orders to take the siding at Torch Hill. It is im- possible to conjecture why he did not do so. The fact that he was not far east of the siding leads to the supposition that his intention was to run beyond and back in on the siding. The postal car was considerabiy damaged, but the other cars of the pas- senger train were not injured. LOST CHILD FOUND. Gertrude Rivert Discovered in the Home of the Friendless, Chicago. CHICAGO, III., Aug. 15.--4fter a search of five months, including in scope the en- tire country, necessitating the expenditure of a fortune and the employment of a large force of detectives, littie Gertrude Rivers, said to have been abducted from Cripple Creek, Colo., was discovered yesterday aft- Home for the Friendless. years old. the charge of kidnapping is laid.

The nurse took her Hot rings, Ark. that the pair would make a long stay. Ac- cording to Mr. Rivers, all communication fram Miss McKertna ceased at the end of a few weeks. Becoming alarmed he went and child were gone, garding their destination. Mr. Rivers, moderate wealth, spent money without stint. The clew that ultimately put him on the trail did not come from his own band of workers, but from a community of nuns at Denver, allied to the Sisterhood at Hot Springs. To the Sisters at Hot Springs Miss McKenna, it is said, who is a Roman Cath- olic, complained that she had received no money from her employer, and said that she intended to take the child to her home in Illinois if she did not hear favorably from Gertrude’s parents. EAST SIDE STRIKES. Two of Them Will Come to an End on Saturday. Special co The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. Iö5.— Two East Side etrikes—those of the “pants’’ makers and vest makers—will end to-day, and the lag- ging strike of the Brotherhood of Tailors, if not declared off then, will be, early next week. Mayer Shoenfield said that, taking the hot spell into account, this strike, though not a long one, had been very hard on the tailors. They were not in physical condition for mass meetings during such a hot spell. He said that though the present season would be shertened by the strike, never- theless it would be a late season, and when it was over the time for makin . an and summer goods would have arriv LORD RUSSELL’S ARRIVAL.

A Determined Lebanon Man Who Doesn’t Propose to Have the American Flag Defiled. A tall, broad-shouldered man with his coat thrown across his arm boarded the Air Line train, known as the Belleville | flyer, Friday afternoon and took a seat in the smoker. He looked the true type of the American } countryman. His face was rough, but | kindly. His blue eyes looked at you with à fearlessness that betokened his willing- ness to stand to his guns under any fire. His mouth, but partially hidden by a mus- | tache, which fell away into roughly | cropped side whiskers, closed firmly when his face was in repose, and his whole ap- ‘pearance was that of a man willing and | ö back up his convictions to tue last itch. This man was William Tipton of Lebanon, III. Old Bill” Tipten they call him over there—and his reputation in those parts coincides with the character that gleams from his face. In this car was another man, short and fat, with gold-rimmed spectacles. A small gray mustache covered his upper lp, and when he smiled his blue eyes lit up with a merry twinkle. He looked every inch a German. This man was Edward Woelk of Belle- ville, superintendent of the telephone serv- ſce in that city. It so happened that these two men sat ing. In two minutes the voice of Tipton was rising above the rattle of the rails. He push his black slouch hat back from his forehead, just growing bald, and ape ‘his big sunburned hand moving vigorously in front of Woelk's face. It was evident that he was in an indig- nant frame of mind and it soon developed that the subject the two men were dis- cussing was the treatment of the Salva- tion Army on the public square of Belle- ville, “T tell you,” said old Bill Tipton, with the ring in his voice that men have when they are ready to fight for 4 principle, this thing ot to stop. 124. f no salvationist, but I’m an American and by —— so are they. The laws of this land accord every man the right to wor- ship God just as he pleases and the law is i upheld. 425 the re of Belleville won't do it, if the officials of the city can’t do it, then by —— weill find out the reason why. : “This isn't a question of religion, it's a uestlon of the rights of American citizens. they have already torn down the American flag and trampled it in the dust. I say that no good American would have seen such a damnable outrage and permitted it. If had been there they would not have done it, so help me unless they trampled th it. on id Bül Tipton was getting hot. The rest of the car was listening in silent ap- roval. Mr. Woelk had subsided. Pf. ve come all the way up from Lebanon,” went on the indignant citizen, „to see that it doesn’t happen again.

They said the saloons couldn't be closed on Sunday, but 3 found out differently after a seven years’ fight. ! The people of Belleville are liable to find out their mistake, too, before they get through. Perhaps their saloons will be closed on Sunday.“ When the train reached Belleville Tip- ton got off and hurried up town. Ho dis- appeared almost immediately. He did not go to see any of the officials of the city, presumably 1 his time in conferr- ing with those of the people who think the Salvation Army should be protected from the assaults of the hoodlums. Although Mr. Woelk is an opponent of the Salvationists, he had little to say in response to Tipton’s flery talk. He con- tented himself with listening and thinking. Tipton is no idle braggart. He is the man who led the seven years’ fight against the saloons in Lebanon and eventually won a victory. He is a man of indomitable energy, and, once aroused, he stops at no means to attain nis end. Before the end of next week he is liable to make things very lively for certain peo- ple in Belleville. HIS MIND DEAANGED. A Farmer Seeks the Police for Protec- tion From Phantom Foes. Frank Ederer, a farmer from Norfolk, Randall County, Minn., rushed into the Cen- tral Police Station Saturday morning and asked protection from a mob of men who were chasing him in an endeavor to cap- ture and kill him. Ederer’s mind was evidently deranged and the police took charge of him. He had $145 in money in his pockets. He and his wife left their farm last win- ter and have since been traveling through the West, spending considerable t:me in Cal- ifornia. They arrived in St. Louis Friday and secured rooms at the boarding-house at 2112 Pine street. Ederer was sent to the City Hospital for treatment and his wife was notified. HOME FO.. EX-SLAVES. Its Managers Will Try to Repair the Damage Done. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Aug. 15.—The home for dependent ex-slaves, partly destroyed by the storm last Thursday, is to be re- built if the managers can secure enough contributions to make the repairs. It win require almost $1,000 to repair the damage done by the storm, and the managers of the home will begin the work at once. Contributions will be asked from people all over the United States, as well as from the people of this city. The negro residents ‘ceeded in stopping the train only after the WORK OF WRECKERS. F. F. V. Express Thrown on a Siding Near Washing- ton. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—The Chesapeake & Ohio F. F. V. express, bound from Wash- ington to Cincinnati, was thrown on a side track at Ravensworth, Va., eighteen miles below Washington at 12:19 o’clock this morn- ing by train wreckers, and the engine, mail car, express car and one truck of the com- bined baggage and smoker were derailed, The only ane injured was Baggagemaster F. S. Coffm#n, who was slightly hurt in the back by being thrown from a chair. The tram left here at 11:37 o’clock last, night. Near Ravensworth the switch had been tampered with by wreckers just beyond the curve, which prevented the wreckers’ work being seén until the train was close on to the spur track. Engineer Fowler applied the air brakes with great promptness and force, but suc- engine traveled on the ties almost 100 feet. The switch lamp had been removed, the switch lock broken and the switch was thrown for side track. The unknown wreckers awaited near the track, and as the flagmen went back to pro- tect the train a bullet sped by his head, but missed its mark. he train was held until 4:45 this more when it proceeded with all except the m j and express cars, a sound engine being substituted for the disabled one. The main line was obstructed several hours and the trains this forenoon were from twenty minutes to an hour and a half late. ailroad detectives were dispatched to the scene of the wreck and are now mak- ing an investigation. ft is said that the train it was intended to wreck was one of the Southern Railway express trains, on which was a large sum of money. Baggagemaster Caffman's in- ury pruved to be merely a sl shtly sprained ack. No material damage was done, and passcngers in the sleeper were not awak- ened by the accident, the train proceeding safely on its way after four hours’ delay. Texas Bank Failure.
