THE PEOPLE ARE FOR MA, BRYAN HIS TRIP THROUGH NEW YORK A CONTINUOUS OVATION. BIG CROWDS EVERYWHERE. Senator Murphy, Who Never Missed a Long Guess, Says Bryan Will Carry New York. Bpectal to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—The tour of Will- lam Jennings Bryan through New York State and Pennsylvania has been one con- tinuous ovation. Many thousand citizens have cheered the Democratic candidate and the utmost sympathy and enthusiasm for the free silver cause has been shown. The truth is the whole of the Empire State has cheered his doctrine and given promise of support. More and more the be- lief grows, too, that free silver will cap- ture this State at the November election. Senator Murphy predicts this result. For many years Senator Murphy has prophesied on the elections, and never yet went wrong. His opinion was sought and given as above YTegarding Bryan's chances in New York. Senator Murphy never conducted but one losing campaign, and he predicted that defeat. All along the route of his journey Mr. Bryan delivered many short addresses and some longer ones. The demonstrations reached a@ climax at Erie, Pa., where the nominee made three speeches to big crow Conservative estimates place the crowds which heard Mr. Bryan at the vari- ous large towns as follows: Albany, 20,000; Gyracuse, 8,000; Rochester, 15,000; Dunkirk, 2,500: Erie, 8,000. The largest reception was at Dunkirk, N. Y. Although the stop there was of ten min- utes’ duration only, a temporary stand, pro- fusely decorated, had been erected near the station, and from this Mr. Bryan made a short speech, tn which he took occasion | to pay high tribute to the personal integ- rity of Maj. gn ye OF rie, Joseph Sibley of ae was one of the leading competitors the place se- cured by Arthur Sewall, joined Mr. Bryan at Dunkirk. The reception was cordial, and it is est.:mated that 2,500 people took part in it. A magnificent bouquet of roses was handed Mrs. Bryan there. The rain, which was coming down in sheets, did not keep a big crowd from forming at the Westfield tation. There was much enthusiasm. Mr. ryan made a brief speech, which was well received. nm aii Along the entire route Mr. Bryan re- ceived assurances from men more or less prominent in Republican politics of their eu rt of the Chicago ticket. ut of a handful of pases at Irving, N. Y., a stalwart man, whose name was lost i ~ ty rush, grasped Mr. Bryan's hand and cried: “I’m one of the most prominent Repub- licans in this county, but I’m for you.” For the first time Mrs. Bryan has tired a little, ~~ yoy did not appear at every etation with her husband. TWO MEN TERRIBLY BURNED. Were Cooking Tamales and the Gaso- line Stove Exploded. Gotlieb Burkhardt, a hot tamale man, and his helper, Jacob Maconski, living at 814 Cedar street, were frightfully burned by the explosion of a gasoline stove just be fore noon. Burkhardt was cooking tamales when the stove burst and the blazing oil bespattered him. His clothing caught fire and the smoke in the room was so dense that he could not find his way to the door. | LBVEE MURDER.

An American of Large Experience Says It Works Well. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., Aug. 27.—A. 8. Higgins, a former Sedalian, but who for the past ten years has been railroading in Mexico, is visiting friends here. He is a conduct- or, has worked on nearly all the leading railroads in Mexico, and refutes some of the stories told about wages in that coun- try. a “In my ten years’ experience in Mexico, he said, ‘“‘my salary was from $250 to $300 a | month. An American brakeman in that country gets about $90 a month, while a | Mexican Conksonvan on the same train will a A about $35 a month, and be glad to met it. | “Speaking of the Mexican dollar,”’ Mr. Higgins continued, ‘“‘there is a great deal of misinformation on that subject in this (country. The Mexican dollar in Mexico will buy nearly as much as a dollar will buy in the United States, except, of course, articles imported from the United States. “For instance, I can buy a suit of tailor- made clothes for $40, about what I would have to pay in Sedalia, I doubt not. An American made hat would cost §8 or $9, but one equally as good, only made in exico, would cost $4 or $5, all, of course, in Mex!i- can money. “The working people in Mexico, not count- ing the peon classes, are better off, as a gen- ‘eral thing, than their American brothers, and there is plenty of work of all kinds go- ing on. Mexicoisimproving. Railroads and factories are being built, and there is steady work for those who want it.”’ Mr. Higgins, after his ten years’ resi- dence in Mexico, and an almost daily expe- rience with the working of the financial | system of that country, returns to the Unit- ,ed States a strong advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and an en- thusiastic supporter of Bryan and Sewall. HAVE BEGUN TO WEAKEN. Special Meeting of the School Board About Heating Contracts Secretary Player of the School] Board re- ceived notice from School Directors Elmer E. Lacey, Nicholas Berg and J. B. Ulrich, Thursday, to call a special meeting of the Board for next Monday night. The object of the ~geen- named in the call, is to take special action in regard to the heating contracts for the public schools and reconsider the action ¢aken by the Board Tuesday night. Att that meeting the contracts were awarded to the Peck-Williamson Heating & Ventilating Co., of Cincinnati. The pe- cullar circumstances of the award were ex- posed in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch. Thursday morning the contractors who met Wednesday to take action against the |Board, consulted with Attorneys Alderson _& McEntire with a view to filing suit to en- join the Board from executing the con- tracts, CLAIM REJECTED. The North American Commercial Co. Must Go to the Courts. He was burning to death when a mem- ber of his family rushed in and, seizing him by the arm, pulled him into the back- yard and commenced roliing him over in the dirt to put out the flames. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 27.—Auditor Baldwin of the Treasury Department has rejected the claim of the North American Commercial Company for $283,725 for dam- ages, alleged to have been sustained by His head, face, arms, back and breast were blistered and as he was rolled over the rough yard the pebbles and broken | bowlders tore off the puffed skin, leaving the upper body raw and frightful to look | upon. Firemen subdued the flames in the house and a patrol wagon hurried with the suf- fering Burkhardt to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Thompson swathed the burns in picric acid and sent him to the City Hospital. While nearly all the ekin was blistered and peeled off Burkhardt’s face, his eyes escaped injury. He accounted for this by keeping them shut when the flames enveloped him. Burkhardt is in a pitiable condition, and | aside from the suffering he must endure | while his burns are healing, he will have to grow a new coat of hair, eyebrows and flashes. Makowski was some distance from the stove, and did not fare so badly, having es- caped with slight burns on his neck, face and bands. WEST GERMAN CONFERENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 27.—The steamer Alameda, from Honolulu Aug. 20, brings advices that Minister Willis has re- sumed his duties. It is rumored his recent visit to the United States was for the pur- post of conferring with President Cleve- land on an annexation policy. As a result of the conference it is said Mr. Willis was «| empowered to enter into negotiations for either annexation, a monarchical form of government, with Kaiulani on the throne, or an American protectorate, the choice of either form of government to be left to a vote of the people. Minister Willis made a formal call on the Government soon af- ter his return to the city. Nothing definite will be known regarding Willis’ instruc- tions until the return of President Dole, who is on the Island of Maul at present. 7 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION—THE FARMERS’ VIEW.

Burglars Get the Best of a Chicago Night Watchman. CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—O. B. Robbins, a night watchman in the Title and Trust Building, was attacked by burglars early this morning and fatally stabbed. Rob- bins was in the basement of the building when he saw two men leaving the room with some carpenters’ tools. Instead of complying with his command to halt the men turned upon Robbins with knives and stabbed him until he fell unconscious. The burglars made their escape. Robbins was removed to his home. GOLD IMPORTATION. Shicago Banks Going Into It as a Spec- ulation. CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—The low price to which foreign exchange rates have fallen has finally tempted Chicago banks to be- come importers of gold. The First National Bank has ordered $100,000 from London and the Union National Bank a like sum. The gold will be shipped next Saturday. Other banks are said to be contemplating simi- MUTINY AT SEA. | Captain Attacked, the Mate Injured and the Steward Slain.

The steward, Antonio F. Berra, was struck over the head by a belaying pin and thrown head foremost into the hold.

There were just 23 persons present, luding representatives of the local pa- ers, Republicans, Democrats and Popu.- ists, and the only “national” Democrats to assert themselves were J. West Good- win, who has never been a straight Demo- erat two succeeding elections, and James 8. Ream of,Green Ridge. Mr. Good@in called the convention to or- der, and stated the object of the meeting. He is not a “silver-tongued” orator, by any means, and, after prophesying that the Indianapolis Convention would be a “‘bung- starter,” he asked that all Democrats who were opposed to the Chicago platform and nominee stand up. Mr. Ream came up, and was counted, and Col. Goodwin then ap- ointed him as a delegate to represent ettis County at the St. Louis Convention, “I'd hate to give expression to the opin- ion I have of some men’s political back- bone,” remarked Col. Goodwin, as he ad- journed the meeting, framing {n his mind the appointment of himself as another of the delegates Later in the day and apparently without their consent, Mr. Goodwin named a num- ber of other [ate pe as delegates, the list including Judge John N. Dalby, Presi- dent of the Third National Bank; W._ H. Powell, Jr., Cashiér of the Citizens’ Na- tional Bank: Phil E. Ott, a druggist, and A. W. Perry, a music publisher. There was no large crowd and the en- thusiasm consisted of laughs at Mr. Good- win and Mr. Ream when each asked the other to stand up and be counted. “Tos tell the honest truth,” said the Dem- ocrat quoted in the first paragraph, the so-called ‘sound money bolt’ in Pettis County amounts yeas pg A to nothing.

Arrangements Completed and a Ticket Nominated. RAY CITY, Mich., Aug. 27.—The three parties last night completed fusion arrange- ments and nominated the following ticket: Governor, Charles R. Sligh (Republican- Bilver),Grand Rapids; Lieutenant-Governor, Justin R. Whiting, 8t. Clair; Treasurer Otto E Karste, Ironwood; Auditor Alfred E. Cole, Fowlerville; Attorney-General, Alfred J. Murphy, Detroit. The ticket was completed by the selection of David BE. Haskins, Democrat, of Hills- dale for Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion; Martin Loenneckir, Populst, of Jackson, for Commissioner of the Land Office, and Franklin 8. Dewey, Democrat of Alpena, for member of the State Board of Education. The office of Secretary of State was left blank in the hope that the ‘Prohibitionists would name a candidate for that office and withdraw the balance of their ticket. The Democrats have eleven and the Populisis three electors. TO HEAD BATEMAN OFF. He Has a Consuming Desire to Notify Mr. Bryan. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 27.—Col. W. A. Har- ris, ex-Congressman, has gone East to Washington to thwart what he claims is a scheme of C. Bateman Populist candidate for Governor of Maine, to “notify” Mr. Bryan of his riomination by the St. Louis Convention. At St. Louis Mr. Bateman was @ decided Middle-of-the-Road adherent. Col. Harris, as a member of the Notification Committee, recently received a letter from Mr. Bateman intimating, it is said, his in- tention to notify Bryan and the ex-Con- gressman wrote to Bateman protesting against and denouncing such action.

Mr. Kerens has extens:ve railroad interests of his own Kast, West and South, and is very generally known and stands well with tailroad men everywhere.

With full appreciation of the situation he said that he could assure the convention that he was unpledged; also, that he would not be a candidate for a second term. He knew that he would be a target for the arrows of the opposition, but he was willing to receive them. In the single gold standard cause he was willing to meet the orators of the free sil- ver cause. , There was no need for more money; the present per capita was ample for the vol- ume of business; what was needed was an effectual silencing of the voice of repudia- tion; it had raised its head high recently. There must be more patriotism for this country and Iess twisting of the British lion’s tail. Atty.-Gen. Frank Walker nominated A. F. Osterman of St.. Louis County for Lieu- tenant Governor. He was given the place by acclamation. Mr. Cunningham of St. Louis nominated for Secretary of State A. A. Lesueur, ¢ regular Democratic nominee and incuni- bent. S. C. Woodson of St. Joseph seconded the nomination. It was opposed by the “Middle of the Road” goldbugs, led by E. N. Moody of Pike and D. H. McIntyre of Audrain, Mr. McIntyre was an office-holder for twenty years. He was a candidate for a plum during the highwater of '44, and only for a few has he been away from the public erib. Mr. Cosgrove of Cooper paid a high trib- ute to Mr. Lesueur in seconding his nomina- ——_ on. The feeling against anything Democratic was so marked that it was an uphill fight for the friends of Mr. Lesueur. N. D. Thurmond of Callowa D. N. McIntyre of Audrain. The nomina- tion was seconded by the Fifteenth Dis- trict, the Ninth District and others, Finally Mr. Cunningham tried to with- draw the name of Mr. Lesueur.

MclIiwrath of Chillicothe, who was recently Chairman of the Livingstone County Democratic Committee. There was no opposition to him. He was put on the ticket by acclamawton. The faction which was anxious to indorse the regular nominees made no effort to carry the fight beyond Secretary of State. E. R. Porter of Jasper was nominated by acclamation for State Auditor, R. Graham Frost nominated for Attorney- General N D. Thurmond of Callaway. He was also put on by acclamation. Harry A.

When the House of Delegates met in adjourned session at 10:30 a. m., Jim Cro- nin, the swaggering, statesman from the First Ward, showed up with a clean shave and a subdued voice. He had little to say and kept to his seat. Some smooth lobbyist got in his work dur- ing the night in behalf of Ed Butlers san- itary works. At Wednesday's session it was shown by Mr. Mepham that the passage of the com- mercial garbage bill was useless; that the Federal authortties had never prohibited the dumping of such garbage in the river, and to aieat all doubts. on the —_—ro had issued a permit after being reminded by Harbor Commissioner Stone of the law of Congress, which had been in existence sev- eral years, but never applied to St. Louls. The bill was defeated by a vote of 12 to 1}. Thursday Mr. Buechner moved to recon- sider the bill. Mr. Mepham had been in the chamber for some time before the House met and went out to get further information a@s to the bill. While Mepham was absent the House met, and as soon as the roll was called Buech- ner was on his feet demanding a reconsider- ation of the bill, and it was ordered to en- grossment by a vote of 17 to 6. Mepham came in a few minutes later, and when told that the bill had been reconsid- ered he was indignant. “Tl wish to say, Mr. Speaker,’ he said, “that the action of the House was an out- Tage on me. Every man in this House knew that I was opposed to this bill; that I had led the fight against it yesterday, and the gentleman who took advantage of me knew that I was out in search of additional information to meet anything he might offer in behalf of this useless piece of legisla- tion. “Tl have just come from the Health Of- fice. I was told there that since the permit from the Government, it is opposed to this bill, because it involves an unneces- eary expense to the city. I also have here fom the Comptroller all the correspondence between the Harbor Commissioner and War Office. I will send them to the clerk to read, and every man can see that the agi- tation of this question was a piece of im- pertinence on the part of the Commission- er. The Government has never said one word against the dumping of garbage in the river. It would be interesting to know just why this correspondence was ever started. There was certainly some object in it. ‘The introduction of this bill, which pro- vides a fat contract for Ed Butler or some one else, shows what was the propelling force. I don't accuse anybody, but the de- velopments tell the story.’’ Mr. Buechner sent to theclerk’s desk and had read a letter from Commissioner Stone, stating that the Government permit wes revocable at willl and really amounted to no permit. Mr. Buechner, despite the voluntary ac- tion of the Government, stood in awe of the following section from the ordinance on which Ed Butler’s’ garbage contract was originally based: “Sec, 2. No person, firm or corporation ehall throw, cast or deposit any garbage or offal of any kind whatever into or on any utter, street, alley, public place, vacant ot or water course, within the limits of the city, or into the River des Peres or the Mis- eissipp! River inside the boundaries of the city. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $100; and each violation thereof shall constitute a separate offense, punishable as provided herein.” Mepham replied that the utter uselessness of the bill was shown by the fact that the Government permitted every town up the river to dump its garbage in the stream. Mr. Sullivan was very much afraid that the War Office would revoke its permit. Mr. Lioyd thought that the citizens wanted the bill to pass because when a man was hired to haul garbage he did it much better than the fellow who hauled his own garbage. There was no doubt about it that the garbage contract had not been rigidly enforced, but that was the blame of the proper authorities and not of the House. The bill passed by a vote of 17 to 10. The bill to permit the Manchester Electric Railway to transfer all its property, in- cluding its name, to the St.. Louis & Mer- amec lroad was passed. Used Brass Knuckles. Eugene Barkley was arrested Thureday morning on cemplaint of George Dowling who asserts that he met Barkley at Ninth and Walnut streets Wednesday night and after a quarrel Barkley pounded him about the face an@ head with brass knuckles. When arrested Barkley was in at his home at 912 Walnut street. A warrant ng him with assault and battery was ued ursday morning. —- o Your Last Chance!

RAID ON A MARKET STREET ROB- BERS’ ROOST. FOR ROBBERY. ORGANIZED The Police Arrest Nine Men Who Are Credited With About Fifty Burg]aries. By the arrest of nine men in a garret at 1521 Market Wednesday afternoon, as report- and watched it night and day. Several times two or three of the gang could have neue arrested, but it was desired to get them a At 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon Patrol- men O’Brien and Noonan met two men in the vicinity of the house carrying bun- dles. They acted suspiciously and were ar- rested. They were Louis Slater and Louis Messmore, alias Smith, both of whom re- cently escaped terms in the penitentiary for burglary by acc»apting ork-house sen- tences. Three hours later the two patrolmen and the special officers, led by Sergt. Dawson, swooped down on the thieves’ retreat. They knew that Messmore and Slater belonged to the ng and that four others were in the place. The gang were in a little room built on stilts and egg on a porch in the rear of the building. They were William Mack- lay, William, alias “‘Agegie,””’ Hart, Joseph Foss, alias Martin, and Leon McTague. There was a man on the porch reading a paper who gave his name as John —_ Cormick. He said he rented a room fro He was arrested with Henry Self, Maxey. the second floor front room who rented store on Franklin avenue with Officer Keely Thursday morning, intending to search the place, but the door was locked. Keely and O’Brien went to Johnson’s sa- loon on South Seventh street about 7 o’clock Wednesday evening. Keely found loose cigars and tobacco in cigar and tobacco boxes that had already been used, which is a violation of the Fed- eral laws. When Johnson-.was questioned by Keely. he dashed out on the street. O’Brien and Keely pursued, firing several shots, none of which took effect. They caught John- son in an alley near Chestnut street. Louis Slater is the leader and the gang is known by his name. He and .Messmore have been doing the heavy work. The rest of the gang peddled the plunder resulting from the burgiaries committed by Slater and Messmore. Several members of the gang are still at large. The thieves’ “roost” ts a small room in the top of the building, 1521 Market street, reached only from the rear by a flight of narrow stairs leading from the second floor porch. The room contained two beds and no rlunder when searched Wednesday after- THIEVES’ DEN ON MARKET STREET. os Rin ay sin Sie ] a if | ii Loe PemSreR ed in a late edition of Wednesday’s Post- Dispatch, the Police believe they have broken up a gang of thieves and burglats who have been terrorizing South St. Louis for weeks. The caid at the Market Street house was followed Wednesday night by the arrest of Ike Friedman, keeper of a second-hand store at 1502 Franklin avenue, and Frank Johnson, a saloon-keeper at 18 South Sev- enth street, on a charge of receiving stolen property. Johnson's arrest was accomplished only after an exciting chase, during which 6ev- eral shots were fired. For a month burglaries in the territory south of the railroad tracks have been of almost nightly occurrence, The jobs were cleverly done and it was impossible to se- cure even a clue to the criminals. The work was evidently being done by an organized gang, skillful in covering their tracks and getting rid of their plunder. About two weeks ago the lice received information that a gang of thieves their rendezvous in.a garret at 1621 Market street. The ground floor is occupied as a second- hand store.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 27.—The third and last day’s session of the Sunday School Association is now in progress. Over eight hundred delegates are here, all things considered, probably the most thoroughly representative lot of men and women ever convened in Jefferson City. To-day’s work was opened by .a song service, led by E. O. Excell. R. L. Layfield conduct- ed the prayer service. A. Slawson present- ed the reports from the Southeast Grand Division. Reports being all in, Rev. J. T. M. Johnson of this city announced that at 4 p. m. the association members would be conducted to sights of interest in and around Jefferson City, including a visit to the penitentiary. The excursion boat J. W. Spencer has been hired by the local conven- tion for a short excursion on the Missouri River. All delegates are expected to par- ticipate. Governor Stone addressed the association at ll a. m. His remarks were eloquent, time- ly, and delivered with deep earnestness. He commended the Sunday School for its work, and expressed the opinion that it is the great support of church organization, guiding to a worthy life, fixing precepts indelibly in the minds of the rising genera- tion, and so bettering and enhobling human character. He declared that what he in childhood had learned in Sunday school had been of inestimable value to him in his mature years. He, for one, accepted the Bible as an entirety. He said that it is the book of books. It is the link which binds man to God. It heads the way. It brightens the path. It reveals heaven. It proves the immortality of the soul. Asa guide it is sufficient. We need nothing _— His remarks were heartily »applaud- DEMOCRATS NOT WORRYING. - The Work of Preparing for the Cam- paign Progressing. The convention of Wall Street Democrats at Entertainment Hall has not created any perceptible gloom in the region of the Dem- ocratic State headquarters at the Planters’ Hotel. While the corporation lawyers, dis- credited ex-bosses, bankers and other types of Wall Street Democrats are airing their grievances and doing their mightiest to give Uncle Filley a seat in the United States Senate and incidentally control of Missouri, Chairman Sam B. Cook of the State Com- mittee and his assistants continue in the ar- rangement of campaign plans. Thursday morning Mr. Cook looked even more cheerful than usual as he went through the mail. There were hundreds of letters to be read and they all told the same story. Enthusiasm for Bryan and silver was growing in every quarter of the State and hundreds of anti-gold Republicans en- tering the Democratic fold. The letters from leaders all asked for speakers and ont cong own ‘ es ave been through campaigns be % said Chairman Cook, “and I pane A oe out exaggeration that the interest in this one is greater than all the others combined.

NIEMUTH’S HOME LOOTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. STOLE ALL THEY COULD CARRY. Were Attacked and Badly Bitten by the Faithful Watchdogs in the Basement. Housewives along Wisconsin avenue, south of Cherokee street, forsook their work Thursday to gossip about burglars. They talked in fear and trembling and watched every suspicious character. The home of the Niemuth family at 35]8 Wisconsin avenue was turned topsy-turvy Wednesday afternoon by three burglars, who had a fight with two bulldogs. Many valuable articles were taken and the house was more thoroughly upset than if a cy- clone had cavorted through it. It all happened while Mrs. Niemuth was making a journey to a drug store. On the way back she dropped in to see a neighbor for a few minutes, and she is thankful that she did, for she thinks that if she had dis- turbed the burglars they would have made mince meat of her with @e hatchet, which they left behind. When Mrs. Niemuth aproached the house which she had Il¢ft tig closed half an hour before, she was a «0 see doors, gates and windows open. She had a vision of burglars and she thought of a neighbor across the street who had been robbed by the three men in a buggy last week. With quick but nervous steps she entered the front door and beheld the work of care- ful housekeeping completely undone. The bed had been turned upside down and the pillows taken from their cases, The clothes which had hung in the ward- robe lay scattered on the floor and the contents of the bureau were in a heap near the hearth. Only the articles that burglars cannot dis- pose of were left, while the family treasure was missing. Two gold watches, one a ia- dy’s, $75 In cash and aliber revolver were not in their accustomed place in the bureau and were not in the pile on the oor, Mrs. Niemuth became more térrified each moment, as she expected to meet the bur- lars. eScarcely knewing what she did, she has- tened through the other rooms (it is a one story house) and went into the yard. Two youss bunds which were accus- tomed to welcome her home put their snouts through e hole in the cellar door and tried to get at her, for they thought she was a burglars with whom they had had a scrim Mrs Niemuth went into the cellar by a side door, hoping to be protected by the dogs if the burglars should reveal them- selves. The housebreakers did not appear, but the dogs, apparently blind with rage and unable to recognize her, attacked her. She fought them off and ran into the yard screaming. Neighbors heard her voice, and rushed to the Niemuth dwelling. Before their eyes lay Mrs. Niemuth. She succumbed to ner- vous shoot, after she had given the alarm, and stumbling back into her looted home, fell in a faint. She did not recover for some time and pm theuget Ee ~~ thant been foully ealt with by the burg Two policemen were called and a thor- ough search of the premises was made, The neighbors thought Of the oupersnee of a lady in the same block who had been rob- bed by the buggy trio last vo and the men in the searchin arty were anxious to catch the Niemut urglars, who were su sed to be the same fellows. course the burglars were not around the scene of their raid, but their course was as well defined as an elephant’s trail.

On the north side is a lot, vacant but for the growth of the weeds fence high. The burglars sealed the fence next to the lot. That there was more than one was apparent from their tracks and from the amount of damage which they did during Mrs. Niemuth's half hour's absence. They procured a hatchet in the shed and then cut a slat from a shutter on the south side of the house. They opened the shutters chisel under the window which the forced up strength.

Perhaps t is well that, having declared allegiance | to foreign government as to the public finances, he should openly embrace the foreign idea of life tenure in public of- fice. The Republican candidate squarely for life tenure. “Our oppo- nents,” he says,*‘‘decry these reforms. They encourage a return to methods of party favoritism which both parties have often denounced, that experience has con. demned and that the people have repeat- edly disapproved.” This is a sweeping indictment. The Republican candidate condemns his own | party as being opposed to “party favorit- ism” in the public service. Were it not for “party favoritism” in this campaign, urging countless thousands of Republic- ans to support their party candidates, ainst their convictions on the lssue, r. McKinley would be absolutely with- out hope of election. Without a féeling of “party favoritism,” scores of Republic- an Congressional candidates, standing on gold platforms, would see no prospect of their success. Mr. McKinley has struck & blow at the spirit and essence of party organization.

THE ENGLISH CANDIDATE. lican nomination for President. The let- ter of acceptance is long and tiresome, and includes but one assertion worthy of serious consideration. That is the gne upon which Mr. McKinley's whole aigeus- sion of the financial question ‘that the United States are dependent upon the co-operation of Europe, or, in other words, the co-operation of England, to reach bi- metalism. — It is admitted that Germany cannot consent to silver remonetization without theeonsent of England. In England men of all parties agree that there is not the remotest prospect of English co-operation, The gold standard serves best the English interest. So what Mr. McKinley admits is that, while bimetallism is an excellent thing, it is impossible for us to have it. Since his nomination until now McKin- ley has hardly mentioned the word “gold” at all. He has carefully refrained ‘honest dollar’ he means a gold dollar. It is too late for him to attempt evasion. by T. C. Platt and dictated by Depew, the Vanderbilts and J. Pierpont “Morgan, It unreservedly declares for the main- tenance of the single gold standard un- til we can get it changed “by interna- tional agreement.” McKinley has accepted this platform, and it will certainly defeat him, as it ought to do. It is a monstrous doctrine that Americans are not to be allowed to control their own currency without the consent of England. And, as every one knows, that is what the platform declara- tion in favor of “international agree- ment” means. Germany would consent to an interna- tional agreement, but England will not. It is folly to expect it while the Roth- schilds and other great London money- lenders hold several billions of our bonds and securities on which they demand in- terest In gold only. Even if England of our farm products, the money-lending interest of London would be _ strong enough to prevent English consent to the monetization of silver. Every intelligent American knows this, and McKinley knows it. When he at- scure the issue, it is natural enough, for he knows Ohio politics well enough to know that his chances of carrying the State are extremely doubtful if he should openly and courageously advocate the gold standard and a system of legislation under which England would hold and ex- ercise a higher and more effective veto power than the Constitution gives our own President. Should a gold standard President be elected, a bill opening our mints and fre- storing bimetallism might be passed over his veto, but under the system of legis- lating by international agreement we could not possibly pass a measure over England’s veto. It would be final, as the in declaring that we must not change the gold standard until we can secure the consent of England and other foreign countries —~—— =. —» PALMER AND THE POPULISTS. There are many inconsistencies in a Wall street Democratic campaign. There must be of necessity if not of choice. But sometimes inconsistency becomes absurdity and often pathos. Palmer at Chicago, denouncing fusion between Democracy and Populism, was a figure to move the laughter or con- tempt of men. It is generally, understood that Palmer, as a Senator, the result not only of fusion between I[Illinois Democrats and. Populists, but of a fusion reached by methods and processes foreign to conven- tions, caucuses or conferences. This view is not, however, entirely just to Senator Palmer or the Populists who elected him. Palmer and the two Populist members of the Legislature did meet ference and the results of that confer- ence were given to the press in a volum- inous interview between Palmer and the Populists,+in which Palmer assented to the Populist platform, including silver coinage, The political enemies of both Democra- cy and Populism have always charged that the conference between Palmer and the Populists followed the poker game at which the fusion was completed. Dem- ocrats have defended the Senator against any charge of being a party to any cor- rupt transaction looking to his own elec- tion, and insisted that his fusion with the Populists was in good faith. His speech at the Chicago Convention leaves the question still an open one as to whether his fusion with the Populists was honorable or dishonorable. ———— oe Not a word says Mr. McKinley on the stands | most important of all the problems— the Treasury reserve. Gold Is kept out of the country, bondholders are enriched and the nation plunged deeper and deep- er into debt, yet the St. Louis nominee is mum.

I The Chicago plutocrats have been let off so lightly in their assessments this year that any change in the national financial policy can hardly injure them. Verily our republic is the®heaven of wealthy tax dodgers. The gold standard folly has sent a great New York dry godds house—the house founded by A. T. Stewart—to the wall. A “stringency of the money market” is an inevitable accompaniment of gold contraction. Gold is no longer actually money. It is not circulating. It does not figure as money, but as a speculative commodity, | locked up and cornered to force a further rise in its purely speculativé value.

Several of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s relatives and friends were on the pier to say goodby to the young couple, but none of Mr. Vanderbilt's family appeared. This did not seem to bother the young man in the slightest, as he wore a appy. contented smile as the big liner moved out into the stream.

DAN STUART MAY MANAGE JIM. Shrewd Brady Objected to Corbett’s Taking on Sharkey—Wanted Him to Attend Strictly to Show Business. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—There has been a eplit in the relations existing between Champion Corbett and his astute, if not over-popular, manager, Billy Brady, as the result of the match with Sharkey. The pair are on the outs, and Jim is conduct- ing his side of the arrangements on his own hook. The four-round set-to at 'Frisco was made with Brady's consent, and Cor- bett, incensed at his failure to land the marine, at once, in his own hot-headed fashion, signed to fight to a finish against Brady’s advice. Then there was trouble. Brady insisted that Corbett should look out for the t* -atrical engagements this fall and iet ting o the board, but Champion . nu could not see it that way, and rushed ieadliong into a hattle with Sharkey. Ai a result —— has washed his hands of the whole affair. Brady has long been the brains of the combination. than this same ex-newsp man. He forced Corbett to the fron got him backing to fight Sullivan; investe is money for him, and handled his man’s fistic affairs in a manner that has excited the admiration of all. Corbett is hot-headed and he required the assistan Brady's type to keep him fr doing rash things. or instance, there was the sur- render of the championship, as well as the Sharkey match, both on Corbett’s own hook, and neither of which moves were s the | be to pursue. Heretofore Brady course, and until the past year | Corbett ware followed it, but now he is | Kicking over the traces. Corbett and I had a long talk last week when we decided to part,” said Brady last night. “‘We were just as friendly as ever. The reason we gorse is just this: I have & great deal of other business on my hands and if I took part in Corbett’s fights I would naturally have to travel round the country to protect my money and interests. You can say that Corbett will hereafter attend to all oon Bes we rity and will not have any new r.”" Others say, however, at Dan Stuart will manage Corbett. wept CHEVALIER CONFESSES. Makes a Clean Breast of the “Little Pete’’ Sensation. | SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 27.—Jockey Chevalie® has made a complete confession at last. It has been the opinion of nearly every turfgoer that Chevalier had been guilty of pulling many a horse, dut despite the “Iidttle Pete’ scandal, 2 e boy came up to the Chronicle a few days ago to make a complete confes- sion, but he was in great dread of injury shielded, and only told as much as he had wandered around t city ebout a week without @ place to sleep very lit- tle to eat, the boy became desperate, and went to the office of the California Jockey Club to tell them all he knew. President Tom Williams was highly indignant that Chevalier should even enter the olub- rooms and ordered him away without giv- "t, himr a chance to speak. at night a well-known turfman arranged with Tom Williams and several! other fornia Jockey Club officials for 1 o'clock next day. Chevalier then told of eight different horses that he had pulled for a bookmaker. The latter never issued inetructions except through another man, so it would bea difficult matter to convict the bookmaker. Chevalier also related that one ny Rede agg horse he was riding got off in and, although his instructions were to pull, he was not able to do so without making a plain job of it. He was unmercifully beaten that night. He says that was hie usual punishment when he fa‘ied to follow a meetin ins ns. n another occasion he had falled to p) outside the and was atraia | for several days.

It is claimed by the Washington club offi- cials that Joyce was guilty of breaking the League rules during his last visit to this city. It is said that Bill went among the Senators and caused discontent by offer- ing three or four of the players more money to come to New York than they are getting in Washington. As there is no chance for the Washington players to escape the re- serve rule, the ashington people insist that the offers were miade simply to create dissatisfaction. President Wagner has filed ' Boston | charges against Joyce, and he is liable to’ be “‘on the carpet” at the next meeting of the League. BREITENSTEIN’S BABY. How the Pitcher Confidenced Pittsburg Journalists With a Telegram. For the past month Eastern newspapers . have been congratulating Pitcher Breiten- ' stein of the Krowns on the acquisition of a son, who was, they said, heir to all his father’s floridity of complexion, geniality of temperament, stoutnesg of heart and cun-. ningness of hand. Every time the Browns struck a new town Breitenstein was the object of many con- gratulations, and nothing good was left unsaid about the baby. s By and by the story reached St. Louis, and was proven unfounded. As the Story started in that hotbed of “pipe’’ dreams, P ttsburg, it was at once set down as a Piratical “‘fake."’ Mr. Thomas Noonan, who was with the Browns in Pittsburg, says that Breitenstein himself was responsibie for the _ story. While tn the Morongahela House at that lace he received a telegram from St. ion bout business matters. Several] lo- cal reporters were standing close by, and one of them asked what was the news. “Oh, nothing,” carelessly remarked Breit. | “There's a red-headed nine-pounder at | home, and they tell me he its left-handed. I hear Chris has claimed him for next sea- | son at the limit.” That is how the story of Breitenstein’s baby came to be published fn more than 100 newspapers. Out on Bacon street pretty Mrs. Breiten- stein eagerly awaits the return of her hus- band and wishes that the story he told had been true. oO DOWD’S BRILLIANT PLAYING. Capt.

Certainly. In the first place the Reds are quitters of the rankest kind and were bound to drop when given the gaff. Then Ewing h not the “mixed ale scrapper’” to help him. New York always was a hard team for St. Louis to beat, but Billy Hart should win his game there. He always has been effective ainst the Gothamites. Breiten- stein should also do business with them. Philadelphia critics claim that Cooley is absolutely useless as a flelder, but that he is valuable as a sticker. They admit that he can break up any pitcher by ironing out his best kinks and shoots. Cincinnatians are or rather were quite “loony” about their third-class team. While the Browns were over there last week the roprietor of the Gibson House offered Eant. Dowd $6,000 for Breitenstein’s release. He said that the Cincinnati Club would make the money good. Sner must think that Breit is cheap. Ten thousand, nay ,000, would not buy him if the people of St. Louis had their say. . Charley Irwin, the Cincinnati third base- man. is classed as the success of the year. Old man Anson is playing better bali this ear than he has done for many seasons. e is batting the ball as hard as Burkett he ranks third in the averages and now that Kittredge and Donohue have been injured | he jumps in and plays as good ball as any of them behind the bat. Bert Meyers is winning the good opinion of the fans by his great fielding on the Eastern trip. mager Connor its not hitting the ball for shucks. He was the only Brown who failed to connect safely yesterday. Cycling Notes. “Reddy” Maxwell ts apparently the king’ of the Kansas Circuit. He wins the mile open with diurnal regularity. EB. E.

Andy knew what he was doing when he chased the loco- motive and made it run in 1:03 to beat him. Joe Howard has let up in his training. It will do him good as he was slightly over- worked.

LONDON, Aug. 27.—A dispatch tod the Chronicle from Tromsoe, signed by Dr, Nansen, gives Capt. Svardrup’s account of the voyage of the Fram after Dr Nansen left that boat. The Dispatch says: “The icé pressure was never as severe as upon several occasions before Nansen left us, vine a? June, 1896. We were regularly exposed, however, to. violent pressures, caused by the changing spring tide. The Fram was once or twice lifted from six to nine feet. Her bottom became visible, as it rested on the ice. So littie effect did this have on the Fram’s timbers that the men continued their slumberings undistybed, An easier Arctic exploration one could hardly imagine. The principal work was to take regular observations, sle and eat. The health of the men was perfect during the entire expedition. There was not a sign of scurvy ) merge among any of the men. When all orts to advance the boat through the ice by the force of steam or a rocess of warping failed, it was found ‘that the pun cottor mines peeves the best means of shattering the ice. As a rule, very high ice floes cree so extensive that their termination could not be de- scribed even by the telescopes. Often it looked like a hopeless task breaking our’ way out of the ice, foot by f but with the liberal use of explosives owing to the gm eeed construction of our boat, we finally succeeded.” SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS.

LOO Seo) | correspondent of the New York COL ROEMER OF THE CUBAN’ ARMY. THRILLING EXPERIENCES WHILE FIGHTING THE DONS. THE PATRIOTS NEED ARMS. If They Are Supplied, the Former St. Louis Zouave Says, Freedom Is Assured. Lieut.-Col. T. Rosser Roemer of the Cuban army, whose return to the city on a furlough and whose thrilling experiemce in dodging the Spanish navy and getting away from the island were recounted in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch, will remain here recuperating until he is recalled to the scene of conflict. With Lieut. Roemer is Frank E. Hilligass, who is also a St. Louis volunteer in the cause of Cuban liberty. He has been Col. Roemer’s companion throughout, and will go back to the field with him when the summons comes from the Junta. Capt. Roemer ig Lieutenant-Colonel of In- fantry of 4th Army Corps of Los Vegas, and Mr. Hilligass holds a commission as Lieu- tenant of a company in Col. Roémer’s regi- ment. Nine months of devotion to the cause of “Cuba Libre’ have played havoc — the health of these courageous young When Col. Roemer left he weighed 215 pounds, and was a picture of magnificent manhood. Now he is emaciated and worn and ters | weighs 150 pounds. He and his companion are oe in need of rest and recuperation in a climate more con- genial than that of Cuba. From the time they reached Cuba until they were dispatched to the United States agents to arms volunteers y A ugh time of it, enduring enough pri- vations to kill many men with less strength, determination and nerve. They went through it all, and are ready to back again to the dangers and hardships of Cuban army life. Capt. Roemer was surrounded by friends when a Post-Dispatch reporter questioned — about his adventures and plans for the uture. The former commander of the Busch Zuaves laughed anc referred to his changed appearance. His great loss of flesh he attributed to Cuban malaria, superinduced by drinking stagnant water filled with poisonous anij- maiculae. Referring to his escape to the United States to procure arms, he said: “I was sent here by order of Gen. Gomez to get whatever arms I could to the island by - cember, when hostilities are to be pushed more vigorously than ever. I was given let- ters to Delegato Palma in New York and started on my way. We left Remedios in Puerto Principe, in Central Cuba, on horse- back, for Sagua, a point 400 miles distant. Col. Medabal was our escort.

Medabal had a detachment of Cuban cavalry with him. We found the roads so closely guard- ed that we were compelled to turn back to Majasa, the headquarters of the Cuban Civil Government. Then we were provided with letters permitting us to travel with some other Americans to the Central States un- der escort of Col. Pana. On our way Col. Pana, who is one of the most daring men I ever met, attacked the City of Coscorro, protected by three Spanish companies, and captured and burned the town. We made the attack at night and only three of our men were wounded. ‘The morning after the assault Col. Pana hanged a spy to a tree for furnishing in- formation to the Spanish ‘troops. ‘We were next turned over to Col. Bigger, who delive us in safety on the main coast, Then our troubles began in earnest. The north coast was patrolled by gunboats and small steam launches well supplied with Hotchkiss guns and we had to go in hiding. We dodged about for four days in the swell off the coast. We had a sixteen- foot cat-rigged sail-boat in a rickety condi- tion to make our way to Nassau and our provisions consisted of cocoanuts, bananas and germ-laden water scooped from the coral rocks. “We finally escaped the vigilance of the Spanish patrol and made sail from Key Romano. There were seven in our party, one of our number being George eno, Herald. Our boat leaked so that we had to have one man bailing constantly. Pilot Aurelio, one of Gomez’ best sailors, had charge of the boat, and we had the utmost confidence in his ability to land us safely. “At Cago Lobos we struck a terrific hurri- cane and the waves ran high as mountains, but Aurelio knew his business and kept our boat afloat. P “After the storm the boat was in worse shape than ever and as we were safely be- yond the Spanish gunboats we raised a an > Brees hammocks, and on the ground. My uniform was made of American flour sacks chiefly. Food got so Scarce at times that I had to eat roots for sustenance. My first rank was Captain of infantry.

Gomez is over 7 qoere of age he is full of fire and fight. He hag been ex- ceedingly kind to me ever since I entered the service, and has shown great interest in my work of drilling the men. Antonio Maceo is a full-blooded negro, and is Gomez's right bower. Medabal.is feared more than any man exceptin mez. He knows there is a reward of $50,000 offered pond bis head and when he fights it is to the “Gonzales is also a negro, and is the free lance of the army. Gen. Gomez allows hint to follow his own discretion, and he without orders. Garcia and Sanchez are g00d tacticians, and as bold as lions, The negroes are doing some heavy fighting, and must be given much credit for the successes achieved thus far. They are thoughtful, patriotic, and are fighting for independence, and not spoils, as reports sent to this coun- try have stated. The negro Generals refute the apprehension that the race will make unreasonable demands when independence is gained. “I like the service, even though it has its share of hardships, and I intend to stay with it to the end. All we need is arms for the campaign, which ought to be opened about November, and if we get them, the world will soon learn that Cuba is a free country.”’ AN OPPOSITION JUNTA. the Senor Palma Expresses Surprise at the Rumor. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YGRK, Aug. 27.—The statement published yesterday that dissatisfied Cu- bans here will organize an opposition Junta caused much talk wherever Cuban affairs are discussed. Among the Cubans the opinion seemed to prevail that the persons who intend to establish this committee were not of sufficient importance to com- mand a following, and will not be recog- nized by the Cuban Provisional Govern- ment. Senor Tomas Estrada Palma, delegate here of the Cuban Revolutionists, ex- peseews much surprise at the story. He said: ‘There can be no possible reason for ersons to attempt to establish another unta, as we have been work'ng hard for the cause and our actions will withstand the closest scrutiny. I am sure that noth- ing will come of the intentions of those who think they have grievances against the Junta.’’ CRONIN MUST BEHAVE If He Repeats His Disgusting ExhiLi- tion He Will Be Expelled Under the Provisions of the Charter. The next time Mr. Jim Cronin, the blat- ant barkeeper who represents the First Ward in the House of Delegates, gets gay ‘‘in meetin’’”’ he is liable to hear something droa Members of the lower body in the Muni- cipal Assembly are not over-squeamish about matters of propriety, but they do object to the introduction of Mr. Cronin’s bar-room manners into the proceedings of the House. When he wants to get drunk, talk filth and throw things around, they think he had better do it in_ his combina- tion saloon, wine-room and assignation house on Twenty-first street. He has been given to understand that he narrowly escaped being impeached for his hoodlum tactics Tuesday night, and he has promised to be good in the future. The aay after Cronin made an unholy show of himself by defying the officers of the House and shying .a copy of the city ordinances at the presiding officer, a num- ber of the members get together and dis- cussed the matter, : There were men in the number who had been grossly insulted by Cronin the night before. Delegate Bersch still had a pain in his back where a heavy leather-bound book thrown by Cronin at five paces had struck. Marshall was still smarting under Cronin’s brutal] insinuation,that he was not a gentleman. Among the others who en- tered into the discussion were Delegates Judy, Lehman, Lloyd, Mepham, Murrell, Pauley, Scherf, Schumacher, Sullivan and Speaker Diekman. Speaker Diekman is authority for the statement that the removal! of Cronin was seriously considered. The provisions of the charter were looked up and it was found that Article 3, Section 8, provided for the re- moval by a two-thirds vote of any member who persigted in breaking the rules of the House or acted in an insulting or disorderly manner during a regular session. The sentiment against Cronin was at fever heat, and there was a general desire to oust him if votes enough could be secured. The Republican members could be relied on to vote to impeach Cronin, not alone for parti- san reasons, but because there was hardly one of them who had not been abused and insulted by the hefty First Warder. A care- ful canvass showed that nineteen of the members would vote against Cronin—just enough to impeach. The only trouble seems to be a hesitanc in presenting the resolution. Nobody will admit that the resolution has been drawn | small-pox in Cuba. When we were released | we were placed aboard the Ward steamer | ' Santiago for New York. We had no money At the same | up or that t& will be presented. Cronin’s opponents are shy about admitting that they would vote for it if it were intro- duced. Stilk tt is whispered among the members that if it ehould be introduced it would go through by a vote of 19 to 9 and Mr. Cronin would be out of public ife : If removed: Cronin will have no appeal from the deetsion of the House, unless he should have the vote reconsidered. As it would take & two-thirds vote to do this the big saloonkeeper would have mighty little chance for reinstatement. Members of the House who believe in good order and decency being preserved in that body feel that something ought to be done for the sake of setting an example before others who might be converted to Cronin’s idea of statesmanship. The one thing required | is a leader. Individually the members are slow to ex- press their feelings, though Cronin’s in- sults are still rankling in their breasts. Speaker Diekman said Thursday morning: “Phere has been serious talk of introduc- ing a resolution to remove Cronin. ene was very high just after the meeting. O course Cronin’s enthusiaem that night was largely produced by artificial means and if that had not been the case I think radical eteps would have been taken. I do not know anything about the present status of the movement,to expel Cronin. It seems, though, that éome of the members have cooled down a great deal and are disposed to let the matter drop. This, I think, would be a very wise course.” Delegate Judy of the Second Ward sald: “I hardly think that an effort wll be made to oust Cronin, though it looked for a while as if it would be done. You see, while we deplore Cronin’s conduct, many of us are inclined to give him another chance. If he should ever make such a break again he would be expelled at once, That is the conclusion some of us have come to, and we will be prepared to act quickly in the case of Cron‘n or any other member who loses sight of the dignity of the House.” loyd said that just after the Deeg te en could have been expelled . truth of the matter is,” he said, “ of the members were afraid to fy GO Cronin, after they had a chance to consider the matter.

SHE IS TO GO AT ONCE. Ladies Who Control the Home Were Angry With the Matron for Ap- pealing for Help. Matron Abrams of the Children’s Home Society, at Seventeenth and Olive streets, was peremptorily dism'ssed by the Ladies’ Auxiliary Board Wednesday afternoon. This action was taken at a meeting of the board at the home. Mrs. Abrams was not given a hearing, and after her dismissal she was instructed to get out as soon as pos- sible, The little woman will leave Saturday, and will take up her residence at 1706 Lucas place, where she will enjoy a much needed rest from her arduous duties among the children during the last eleven mont The cause for the summary punishment thus meted out to the matron by the | of the board is that she came to the Post- Dispatch in dire distress about her Mttle charges. She told a story of approaching poverty and of neglect on the part of those whose duty it was to provide for children for whom they had become responsible. The best of motives prompt her in her step. She had sought aid _—— those in au- thority, and they had told her’there was no mone The children y. Something had to be done. were threatened with starvation. They must be provided for. She finally decided to go to the business office of the Post-Dispatch and insert as an advertisement an appeal for aid. She had no idea of newspaper rates for such inser- tions, and when she found Its cost, she felt she had better save the money which she might thus expend and buy f with it. As a last resort, she went to the local rooms of the papér and told her simple story of how the superintendent was away in California, that many of the ladies were out of town for the summer and there was no, money in the hands of any of the remainin officers with which to supply the needs o the home. She was told that her statements would be investigated. They were investigated. In ob macond essential points they were found to e true. The children were without clothing and almost without food. The Home was bar- ren of comforts. There was no money in the treasury. The superintendent was in California on a vacation, Money was being collected constantly on commissions and salaries were being paid, but the children for whose sake os- tensibly the institution was in existence, were oe For telling the truth an aged woman is turned out of doors by a Christian insti- tution, dependent upon the charity of the public for support. The meeting of the ladies of the auxiliary was a secret one. None but the members were supposed to know it. Even Mrs. Abrams was ignorant of it until the mem- bers began swarming in upon her at 3 o’clock. ’ When a Post-Dispatch reporter dropped in and asked to be allowed to attend, great surprise was manifested that he should know of it. He was refused ad- mission —_ oS ‘ ; ee po aa t ¢ 5 . ae ae ‘ie ye : a yi oo 7 OUR LAST ——— ‘ Summer Clearing-Out Everything of,Broken Lines, Lots and Sizes PANTS.

The publications in the Post-Dispatch had aroused a remarkable degree of interest in the children. Mrs. Abrams was not called in, though she was interrogated by individual mem- bers prior to the meeting being called te order. After it was over, a committee, headed by Mrs. C. C. Marshall, the Presi- dent, waited upon her in her room upstairs. Mrs. Marshall stated to her that it was the sense of the organization that she re- sign her position as matron in view of the great harm she had done. Mrs. Abrams refused to resign. She explained tha had done nothing of which sh ashamed, had spoken no word which was not the truth and that she would not leave of her own volition. ° ‘You may put me out ff you wish,” s said, “put will not resign.” a, sa Thereupon Mrs. Marshall handed the matron e following communication: ST.

Charles Washington, a Negro Servant, Locked Up With Strong Circum- stantial Evidence Against Him. Charles Washington, the negro who was arrested Wednesday night by Fifth District policemen, is now thought to be the burglar who has been robbing West End houses. Just before daybreak Monday morning & man was seen by Patrolman McCaffery climbing out of a rear w.ndow in Mrs, Winslow’s residence at 4372 West Pine bou- evar, The officer ran after him and fired seve shots, but the negro got away. In the chase the negro dropped a shoe and a knife was fou beneath the window which had been broken open. These articles were eld as evidence against the burglar. Wednesday a negro servant at 4379 West Pine informed the police that his room-mate, Charles Wash- ngton, who was also a servant there, had come in the room soon after the shots were fired. He was out of breath and seemed greatly excited. Special Officers Schoppe and McCarthy ar- rested Washington Wednesday night. Mc- Caffery identified him as the negro he had chased and fired at. The shoe was tried on his foot and it We bave just put ip stock « large jot of tailor | fit.

AO TOS -slG0T BUGS IN HER GONNET,’ SALVATION ARMY LASSIE’S Ex- | PERIENCE IN JAIL. —— CHIEF OBST IS RETICENT. A Woman With a Gun Adds to the Woes of the Belleville Sal- vationists. Private Clara Meyer of the Salvation Army is free to’'go as she pleases about the town of Belleville. She is no longer in danger of being locked up by Chief of Police Obst. The Chief was in doubt Wednesday and, according to his custom, when he doesn’t know what else to do, he did his duty by arresting the young woman for not paying her fin» of $3 and the accompanying costs of $26.55 for alleged disturbance of the peace by beating the bass drum. She had been attending the meetings of the army daily for a month or more since the fine was imposed, but no attempt was made to arreat her. Some time ago she hunted up the Chief and asked him when she Was to be incarcerated. He told her he was onto to his business | and onto her game and that he would not ar- rest her becauss that was what she wanted. Wednesday she was about town on some errands from home when she met the Chief and he placed her under arrest. That was shortly before noon, She asked to be allowed to go home and the Chief very gal- lantly escorted her home and thence to the jail, where he locked her up with four other female prisoners, one of whom was colored. She rema.ned in jail until after dark, when her father, who is @ prosperous car- penter in Belleville and has worked in the same shop for twenty years, went to the Court-house and paid her fine, Immedately upon her release she hast- ened to the Salvation Army headquarters, two squares away, to tell her exnerierce It was there she first discovered what bothered her more than besug as to.cu Her Salvation bonnet was full of bed bugs. They were so thick there that she was unable to use the bonnet that evening and had to go bareheaded. The Salvationists insist that the bedbugs came from the jail, while the police assert that there are no pechuge in the jail, but that there are millions them in the Sal- vation Army barracks, where most of the soldiers live. Miss Meyer does not live there and keeps all her Salvation clothes at home. Her home is as neat as a.pin and her mother is willing to stake her reputation as a housewife that there is not a bedbug in her house unless it ~ a late arrival, who stepped in under the onnet. The girl who: was arrested and locked up does not look like a suffering martyr. She is a little creature with a pretty face, bright eyes and g vivacious manner. She was dressed in her Salvation Army uniform and talked to a Post-Dispatch re- orter from the depth of-the bonnet which ad contained the bedbugs. “TI didn’t mind it so much, because I ex- pected it,”” she said, concerning her arrest. ‘Chief Obst just met me on the street and told me I had to go to jail tll my fine was aid, and I told him all right, I would go. T ask ked him to let me go home first, and he did, but he would not let me eat dinner at home. I had to get that at the jail. “It was nasty, al) except the soup, which you get in a big tin basin. That was retty good. You don’t get any knife or bo rk, though, and it's kind of unhandy. “Just after supper I had a little meeting of my own in the jail. Two of the women staid with me, but two would not; one of them—her name is Kelly, f believe—got mad and Sheriff’s Warning Scared Many De-| linquents Into Paying Up. It was announced last week by Sheriff Troll that on Thursday he would commence levying on p of persons delinquent e ge “personal caxes warning was so potent that Sher- ff Troll announced that the work of levy- in would be pestponed another wee Since the warn in the Post-Dispatch some # or 50 delinquent tax-payers have come forward with the amount of their tax bills, and the costs of the suits. Others cop- tinue to come forward, and Sheriff Troll thinks that another week’s time will reduce the number,.of delinquents by, almcst half. “We have plenty of time,” sad Sheriff Troll Thursday, “and I think we will save eal by delaying the levies a while SUIT OVER A LOBBYING FEE. ‘Edward H. Murrell Says He Won a swore at me for Wisturbing the ar-j| rangements in the jaikk She said she didn’t | like such going on, and she had a right to ey soenethine about it, because she was in jaul oftener than I was. My father came after supper and got me out. Now, we_are going to sue the city if we can, Father is going to St. Louis. to get the best lawyers he can find and see what can be done about it. We beat the drum now and we did before I was fined, but they don’t fine us any more. It is not fair, and, anyhow, I think the costs were too much, though they had a lot of witnesses.” Chief of Police Obst was seen at the po- lice station. When he recognized the Post- Dispatch reporter he screwed up his face and began to chew his cigar vigorously. “How are you, Chief? Why did you ar- rest Miss Meyer yesterday?’’ said the re- porter. “You go somewhere else and find out. I don't tell you nothing, cause you make up things yourses: anyhow. No, I won't talk to you at A few more questions aimed at the doughty Chief routed him entirely, and he fied in the direction of Anarchist Schwartz’s printing shop. The police officers in the station made a vigorous protest when asked about bed bugs in the jail. They insisted that if any bugs had been found there the young wom- (an had brought them with her from the | barrac ‘be- | of The jail was new and as neat as a pin; any one going there could see that. | They were very indignant Over the matter and denounced the Salvation Army barracks as an old rookcry which was infected with bed bugs, both because of its old age, and because it was right close to a hinese laundry and a livery stable. Captain Anderson of the Salvationists came into the station to see the Chief, and another attempt was made to interview Obst. This time he locked himself in his office and shook his head at the reporter fr the inside of the glass door. _ fe , Ceeare very much alarmed lest he gay something, and it was with —- nt rnedity that he reatrained his genial and loquacious disposition. We Anderson said he was sorry Private ers had been released sO soon and in —y. § a manner, as he thought the thing should have been fought in the courts to the bitter end.
