TWO BIG NEGROES ASSAULT TWO WHITE GIRLS. AND A POLICEMAN LOOKED ON. An Offense That Might Arouse Judge | Lynch Treated by the Police as Trivial. Two young white girls, disreputable, but hardly old enough to be classed as women, were arsaulted by two lusty negroes Wednesday morning in the municipal prison van, in full view of a policeman. The policeman regarded it as of small consequence and Capt, O'Malley of the Cen- tral District seemed to share his view, till expressions of indignation from persons of less fortitude in contemplating the woes of others induced him to revise his opinion. It is the custom of the “Black Maria,” as the police transfer wagon ig called, to make ‘the rounds of the district and sub-stations every morning, starting at 2 o'clock. A Policeman drives and another stands in a cage or basket at the rear of the vehicle to prevent escapes, It was supposed that his duty was also to prevent prisoners from doing murder, but Wednesday morning's developments make this doubtful.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 23.—A pas- séenger train on the Southern Railway, due nere at an early hour this morning, had a near Irondale, about twelve miles east of Birmingham. The train was running at the usual rate of epeed, when, upon approach- ing a three-bent trestle, the engineer dis- govered that a rail had been removed from the structure. The air brakes were applied and the train stopped in time to avert a terrible catastrophe, the engine, however, gung partly over the break in the rails, but remaining on the trestle; Southern Railway officials chaim that no one on the train was injured in the least and that the delayed n has reached Birmingham without fur- mishap. ‘< ALTON MAN ARRESTED. Theodore Adelmann Charged With Forgery and Embezzlement. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EDWARDSVILLE, II., Dec. 23.—Theo- ore Adelmann of Alton, formerly a promi- nent educator in this county, was arrested “|in Red Bud, III., yesterday on charges of Daly and Blanche Reeves were picked up. They are aged respectively 18 and 19 years and they “live in a Clark avenue resort. Young, pretty and indiscriminate in their selection of favorites they belong to the clags that gives the police more reel tor standing at a door n inviting men who pass to The women they live with offered must remain in prison throughout the night. There were two negresses and a white man in the wagon, besides the two negroes, and Daisy and Blanche. The wagon had hardly left Chestnut Street Sta don when the negroes laid violent hands on the white giris. Lynam could see it and could hear the screams of the girls, but he did not in- terfere. The wagon traversed a dozen blocks at a moderately slow pace and during the entire time a ecene was being enacted in the ve- hicle thas would cause a lynching in some eections. The negro women in the van protested and tried to protect the white girle. They were shoved aside and while the girls screamed and begged Lynam to rescue them, the two big negroes continued unmolested do work their will. Lynam explains that he feared if he opened the door and went inside to stop the outrage the prisoners might escape. That he could have called the driver to hie Assistance seems not to have oocurred to his iridescent intellect. The girls claim that they begged Lynam to help them resist the negroes, and that he told them roughly it served em right for being arrested for “roping.” He hag not denied this statement, and as Capt. O' Mal- ley has said that Lynam acted properly, it is hardly Mkely that he will be called on bx hig superior officers to make a denial. When the Black Maria reached the Four Courts Lynam called an officer out to help him subdue the negroes. That was not hard to do, for the sport had oloyed on the bucks. The girls were locked up and so were their assailants. Both girs claimed to have been injured, . but no eteps were taken to have a physi- clan dress their hurts. In fact, they were treated exactly as they would have been had they not been assaulted. They gave bond at 6 o'clock and went to the place they call home. Their cases were continued in the police court. About .11 o'clock Capt. O'Malley decided that the affair was not as trivial as he at first deemed u and sent for them. They identified the two negroes as the men who assaulted them and told of their experience with an attention to detail that horrified the most hardened of their hearers. They both bear marks of violence and Daisy Daly will require surgical attention. Bhe is a delicate-looking little thing and ia sald to be the daughter of a business man of good standing in Springfield. The negroes deny that they assaulted the girl, though they admit that there was a commotion in the wagon and tha the white screamed for help. According to Geo. Tausey he played the role of a Paladin and «ried to save the giris’ distress and incon- venience by giving one of them a seat. Capt. O'Malley refused to give out the original report on the incident and when ABDUCTED BY A MARRIED MAN. * * Werley Nett Arrested for Away With e Young Girl. ve 1 1 ie : N * 1 a * 1 F ’ * 8 1 te 114 6 Deo. 4 * , ox 0 f * 0 Shy When HP a il 1 N * * 7 as = forgery and embezzlement.

One of Them Gaily Tosses a Half Dollar to a Barkeeper Who Was Firing on Them. 1 Two burglars drove up to the front door to Mrs. Smith's boarding-house at 2129 Pine street at 8:30 p. m. Tuesday, and getting out of the buggy mounted the stone steps and opened the front door with a skeleton key. They went immediately to the room of Philip Lehr, on the second floor, and took from there a gold watch and chain valued at $100 and about $100 worth of clothes. They then entered the room occupied by Henry Lewis and took from there two overcoats and two suits of clothes. The burglars then went downstairs and as they were leisurely passing through the hall chatting, one of the boarders in the sitting room heard them and opened the door. The alarm was given. The burglars rushed down the steps and jumped into the buggy and were driving away when one of the boarders fired two fghots from the doorway. The shots brought George Steele to the door of his saloon at Twenty-second and Pine streets and hearing cries of Stop tief, he drew. his revolver and shot four times at the burglars in the buggy. One of the burglars returned the fire with five bullets, one of which broke a plate glass window. The other burglar leaned out the ide of the buggy, and, throwing a counter- feit half-dollar to the saloon-keeper, yelled: “There, go buy yourself a drink.” Several other people came out on the street, and half a dozen of them emptied their revolvers in the direction of the burglars. But the two men escaped. A half hour later the policemen came around and asked what had been the trouble. The matter was reported at police head- quarters, and two detectives were sent out ou the case, ROBBED OF A CHRISTMAS TREE. Latest Booty in the Modern St. Louis Hold-Up.

NEGRO INVASION THREATENED. ‘| Every White Man and Boy in the Town Armed and Help Going From All Directions. MAYFIELD, Ky., Dec. 23.—This city is rapidly being turned into en armed garri- son. Every man and boy capable of carry- ing a gun is armed. The reason is a threatened invasion of ne- groes, who are reported massed in large numbers at Water Valley and Wingo, pre- paring to make a savage attack on May- Held. The occasion of the uprising of the ne- groes is the lynching of Jim Stone Sunday night by A mob and the subsequent driving out of a number of low diwe-!keepers. The most alarming reports came in dur- ing the night. The negroes were said to be heavily armed and infuriated. Late at night the alarm bells were rung and the men, after barricading their homes, assembled in the public square, where they waited: for the attack. Hardware stores were depleted of their stocks of guns at an early hour. The people are prepared for a bloody resistance if an attack is made. At 4 o’clock this morning a detachment of thirty whites from Fulton came into the city armed to the teeth and prepared to re- sist the negroes. Eddyville, Kuttawa, Win- go, Princeton, Paducah and neighboring towns have been asked for aid and com- panies are being formed at each ot these places.

HESS & CULBERTSO — — ie — ie A A ALLL THE TRUTH COMING OUT. —— 9 — — HOW THE BANK OF ILLINOIS WAS WRECKED. WORK OF STOCK JOBBERS. The Scheme Was to Ruin the Calumet Street Railway and ‘Buy It In. CHICAGO, Dec. B. -W. A. Hammond. Second Vice-President of the National Bank of Illinois, who has been charged with pull- ing the wool over the eyes of the directors of the defunct bank, would not talk to- day when seen in his palatial home at Evanston. Through an intimate friend, how- ever, he made a statement which is calcu- lated to inculpate several of the directors as well as two or three men Who are not connected with the bank. The Post makes the above statement, and gives the following: „W. A. Hammond is to be made the scapegoat of the failure of the National Bank of Illinois,” said the friend. Ham- mond is a broken man to-day, but he is not any more to blame for the amount of money loaned on Calumet securities than are the members of the Finance Committee of the bank and its directors. It Was necessary) to the purposes of a man connected with the South Chicago City Railway and an officer of oue of the best known banks of this city to aepreciate the Calumet Elec- tric road's stocks, and to this end these two men br nt about the wrecking of the Nationa ank of Illinois. Or the bank’s funds $2,475,000 had been loaned on the Calumet securities. The plan, for wrecking was brilliant. Create cause for an investigation, depreciate Calumet stock and buy’it. Then combine this Valu- able property of sixty-threé miles of new track, equipment and franchise with the South Chicago Railway, eventually combin- ing with the Chicago City Railway, and make a fortune of millions within five or ten years. The truth of the matter is members of the Finance Committee and certain directors of the National Bank of Illinois have known the amount of the Calumet loan and had hoped to make individual fortunes on the success of the venture. Four years ago W. V. Jacobs, who started the Calumet road, borrowed $115,000 and paid it up in full. After that the ro assed into other hands, and A loan was made on the securities, with the full knowledge of the Finance Committee of the bank and by President Schneider him- self. This loan was too large, but it had been supposed to be for a few weeks only, and the bank, finding itself involved, either had to take the loss, ruin an enteprise or go ahead.“ „Never did I see on the book kept for the pu for informing the directors of the bank as to who were applicants for loans in the name of the Calumet Electric Rail- Way.“ The above statement was brought about in a conversation with Director Page of the de- funct National Bank of Illinois to-day, as to how euch large loans were made by the bank and ostensibly given with the sanction of the directors. Mr. Page went on to ex- plain how the business of the bank, as far as the airestors were concerned, was con- duc e: “The directorg appointed from among themselves what you might term for con- venience sake an auditing committee. The plan was to let one director drop out each month, some other taking his place. Eacn day the committee would meet at thd bank, its business being to pass upon the applications for loans. A record of these applications were kept in a book designed for the purpose. In this book was also kept opposite the name of each applicant a. re- cord of the collateral offered to effect the joan, “When the committee was ready for bus- mess Mr. Schneider would come into the room bringing with him this book and with it another book in which was record- ed the daily balance of the would-be bor- rower and also a record of how much he had previously borrowed.” Capt. Schneider, the President of the Na- tional Bank of Illinois, lives in a rather showy brick residence at 2000 Michigan avenue. e is 73 years of age and in rather feeble health, When called upon to-day py @ representative of the Asso- ciate refs he said he should have no statement whatever to make and he seem- ed quite broken by the calamity which has befallen him. He was alone and denied meself to most callers, although he ha n most of the morfiing talking over the telephone with the bank people. There is no prospect of the bank's resuming and it is by no means certain that it wil pay its depositors in full, as at first stated. WEST SUPERIOR BANK Closed as a Result of St. Paul aud Chi- cago Failures. WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., Dec. 2.—The Bank of West Superior, capital $50,000 and $50,000 surplus, suspended operations this morning as a direct result of the failures of the Banks of Minnesota and Illinois.

President Cleveland has sent out a semi-official statement that he fully indorses Secretary Olney’s interview re- garding the Cameron Cuba resolution. This was to be expected. As the Post- Dispatch said at the time, it was not likely that the Secretary would publish such an unprecedented statement with- out consulting the President. On general principles, too, it is safe to assume that none of his Cabinet clerks could go so far in expressing contempt for the people and their chosen representatives that Mr. Cleveland would not indorse and applaud hig utterances. Neither in Europe nor America at the present time is there any | head of a government more thoroughly autocratic in feeling than President Cleveland. He respects the people only when they are offering incense at his shrine. At no time nor under any cir- cumstances has he any respect for Con- gress. His openly avowed view of Con- gress is that it is a public nuisance, to be endured by the Executive with as much resignation as he can muster, but other- wise to be regarded as something to kick and flout and belittle. Mr. Cleveland’s indorsement of Olney should determine the attitude of Con- gress towards the Cameron resolution. It should be promptly passed by both Houses after the holidays, and when the President vetoes it, it should be promptly passed over his veto by both Houses. The issue presented is no longer one of foreign relations, but of constitutional government. If the President is the auto- crat he thinks he is, the country should know it; it has certainly remained in ig- norance of that fact until now. If Con- gress, which alone has the constitutional power to declare war, to authorize the raising of troops, and to vote supplies for equipping and maintaining them, has no voice in determining the relations of the republic with foreign nations, it is ‘time to learn it, so that this great blunder of the framers of the Constitution may be rectified as soon as possible by a proper amendment. Difficult as it is to amend the Federal Constitution, there can be no doubt that if the autocracy which Mr. Cleveland has set up is actual- ly imbedded in the present Constitution, five-sixths of the States will vote for an amendment that will reduce the Presi- dent to the proper level of a constitu- tional administrator of laws passed by the people’s representatives. If Congress hesitates now, it not only consents to a reduction of its own pre- rogatives and prestige, but it betrays the people, who have heretofore supposed that when they elected a President they chose a servant and not a ruler. — — — CARLISLE’S REAR END RED LIGHT Perhaps the strongest part of Secretary Carlisle’s annual report is that in which he refers to the tendency to increased governmental expenditures. After stating that deficits in annual revenues ere results more of reckless extravagance than of any failure of the laws to provide &mple revenue for gov- ernment economically administered, the Secretary concludes that “the great in- crease in the ordinary expenditures of the Government during the last seven years has been without precedent in ouf history in time of peace, and presents a subject which imperatively demands the most serious consideration of Congress.” The expenditures during the last seven years show an increase of over $103,000,000 per annum. A little more than half of this increase has been in the Pension of- fice, but the army and navy expendi- tures, taken together, show an increase of nearly $22,000,000 per annum, and what is still more unaccountable, the “civil and miscellaneous” list of expenses grew during the seven years from about $76,- 000,000 per annum to about $96,000,000 per annum. 7 The Chicago platform, on which Mr. Bryan came so near election as Presi- dent, said: We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation, and the lavish appropriations of recent Republi- can Congresses, which have kept taxes high while the labor that pays them {s unemployed and the products of the people's toll are depressed in price till they no longer pay ule cost of produc- tion. We demand a return to that sim- plicity and economy which befits a Dem- ocratic government, and a reduction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which dram the substance of the people.” Honest government is necessar- ily economical government. Extrava- gant government is, from the very neces. sities of the tase, dishonest. These are self-evident truths. But Mr. McKinley’s victory on a platform ascribing deficits to want of revenue rather than to want of economy will doubtless be taken as warrant for another era of high taxes and great appropriations. Secretary Carlisle, however, is in no position to protest. His voice, vote, and influence were all for the McKinley pol- icy of throwing things wide open.

It is also true that even with the foreign vote Mc- Kinley could not have been elected with- out the colored vote. The Post-Dispatch is constrained to admit that it was the colored vote that did it, though the for- eign vote helped. The infamous Pacific railroad gang should be squelched without delay. The Representative or Senator who stands in with it should be a marked man for the rest of his life. Huntington is depending upon corrupting Congressmen who were not re-elected, but it does not seem pos- sible that, with all the facts that have come to light, the most careless of the retiring statesmen will be so reckless as to sell themselves to this robber. In the United States in the year past, 505 persons were killed at railway cross- ings and 376 at railway stations, while only forty persons were killed in coll sions. How much of railway mortality due to carelessness is very clear from ese figures. A careful person is safe at any crossing or at any station. In some of the Washington hotels all the rooms are already engaged for in- auguration day. The stories of the grandeur of the pageant are evidently having an effect. It is the general opin- ion that Jeffersonian simplicity will be completely knocked out. Huntington claims to have carried two States for the Canton man and he expects the new Congress to approve his record as a public plunderer, but the new Con- gress is certainly not beund by any slush fund bargains that Mr. Hanna may have entered into. „ =" — ** that an American stockholder in an American railroad is a curiosity.

In spite of ante-election declarations to the contrary, the purpose of the new administration will be to push an extreme high protective meas ure to the front.

SAM COOK UN THE BOLTERS. —— CLEVELAND'S APPOINTEES RE. WARDED FOR TREACHERY. AS TO FRANCIS AND FORMAN. Neither of Them Turned Traitor Till the Scent of an Office Came Within Range. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ‘MEXICO, Mo., Dec. 23.—Says Chairman Sam Cook of the Democratic State Central Committee: “It is probable that the Senate will con- firm the appointment of ex-Gov. Francis as Secretary of the Interior. It is quite certain, however, that had Gov. Francis been appointed to any other than a Cabi- net position he would not be confirmed. The rule of allowing the President to se- lect his executive advisers unquestioned will doubtless save the Missouri member of the Cabinet from rejection. It is equally certain that ex-Oongress- man Forman, who was appointed Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, will be uncere- moniously turned down, and that others who pursued a like course will share the same fate. “If these balting Democrats are to reap reward for acting as the allies of Mark Hanna it must ceme from Mr. Hanna’s President. Wen McKinley is President he will have the perfect right to appoint bolter' Democrats to any position he may choose, and Democratiq Senators will not oppose their confirmation on political grounds. The reward must come from the party which was the beneficiary of the treachery; not from the party which was betrayed. ‘Mr. Cleveland openly used the patronage at his disposal as a bribe to help McKinley. “It will be recalled that after it Was ap- parent that the silver Democrats would control the Illinois State Gonvention by an overwhelming majority Senator Palmer and other gold Democrats urged the hold.ng of an independent State conpfention and the nomination of a State and electoral ticket. Mr. Forman then vigorously opposed this independent action and stated publicly that he Was a Democrat, and while he d.ffered with the majority of his party in the State on the financial question, he would not countenance any Bolt. No man could have been more emphatic on this point than Mr. Forman. At that time there Was no va- cancy in the position of Internal r Commissioner a the seductive power public patronage 4 not smiled biandly — the ex-Congressman. Tne people of III nois, Democrats and Republicans, will always believe, and they have a right to believe, that Wim. 8S. Forman deliberately became a tool of Hanna in considerat.on of a prom se from Cleveland to reward bim for his tr ery. His confirmation under the cireumetances would be to put a reward on litical dishonesty as mercenary and de- sng as the barter and gale of support for @ money considera tion. Missouri! mocrats will recall that when ex-Gov. Francis returned from the Chicago Convention, which had just nom- inated Mr. Bryan he stated that he pro- posed to stay with his party in Missouri and support the ticket. It is an open se- ecret in sound money” circles in the State that the leaders of the Palmer Buck- ner faction never counted on Gov. Francis’ gupport until the vacancy occurred in the Cabinet, The gold Democrats who “burned the bridges behind them“ in the fight for their convictions could give some interest- ing accounts of thelr utter failure to se- cure the, aid of Goy. Francis prior to Sec- retary Hoke Smith's resignation. “The announcement “A Gov. Francis’ ap- pointment and his declaration agairst his party Were simultaneous.- So complete Was his conversion that he @ litle later gave out to the press that he would return to Mis- souri, oppose Bryan and vote against the head of the Democratic State ticket. “Mr. Cleveland eagerly used the vast pow- ers which the patronage placed in his hands to strike down the party that lavished its generosity upon him, and he found in the party he had thus betrayed those who, for- getting the horiors they had shared at the hands of the Democracy. were equally eager to — the beneficiaries of this treach- ry.“ — — — ſ —— — e p Woo — te THE SLAVES FREED. First French Reform Inaugurated in Madagascar. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2%.—Among the earliest reforms of the French Government in Madagascar is a decree abolishing slav- ery, a copy of which has reached the State Department from Consul Wetter, at * om tave. It declares all the inhabitants forbids traffic in human beings aatlitving every contract providing for e gale of persons, and imposes penalties for violations of the law-which are to be tripled in case of second offense. Other features of the Wecree are that France promises not to im- pose on the people of Madagascar any ex- traordinary war tax and offers aid to dis- possessed owners of slaves in the form of territorial possessions. Another decree re- lating to schools prohibits interference by teachers in political affairs and urges in- struction in the French language. CONSUL GENERAL WOUNDED. Siamese Soldiers at Bangkok Make an Attack on Mr. Kellett. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A cable to the Herald from Bangkok, Siam, says that a number of Siamese soldiers attacked and wounded Mr. Kellett, the United States Consul General in that city. They demanded the release of a consular clerk who, they alleged, had been unjustly arrested. Mr. Barrett, the United States Minister, protested. The Siamese Government is pur- suing dilatory tactics, but promises to make inquiry into the incident. The Siamese Government is not repre- sented in Washington. The officials of the State Department, the Herald states, have received no information on the subject. Christmas Presents at Cut Prices. This is the buying season and everybody is interested in securing something appro- priate and beautiful to bring joy to those they love. The joys of gift-glving are not increased by paying high prices, and the St. Louis Optical Co; of 723 Locust street, real- izing this fact, have been early in the fleld with one of the most beautiful assortments of Holiday Gifts in the city, which they have advertised at Wholesale Prices. For instance, they sell for $2.2 Pearl Opera Glasses which bring $5.00 elsewhere; Stereo- scopes, with twelve assorted views, for 65 cents, which command $1.50 elsewhere, and other fine goods in same proportion. They advertise that they will save you money on everything in their line, and, judging by the crowd in their store, are evidently ful- Alling their promise. New Missouri Corporations.

McEntire Judge Valliant Wednesday issued a sum- the Bouthern Saving Fund & Loan Association to reply to the petition for an injunction against the company, the dissolution of the concern and for authority for State Treas- wrer Stevens, ex-officio supervisor of build- ing and loan aseociations to assume con- trol of it. ; or were Charles F mercial lawyer, lin toller St. Louis Trust Co.

Yancey, president of Hardin College, Mex-, 2 Mo., ay pe em nh 1 ns r Gray eays a ey ve per- sisted in violating their charter. The issue was brought about by what is called in the petition a Fy ae contract” entered into between the directors and J. M. Cavins and Daniel F. Cobb, on Oct. 19, 1864. Under the terms of agreement they were to sell stock, and in return were to receive the first and second payments on all installment stock of the company, and one-tenth of one per cent of all installment stock in force in sald company and 5 per cent of the par value of all prepaid and paid up stock of the company, for the first year it shall remain in force, together with all fees collected for examination of ab- stracts to real property. visor Gray thought this would be too of a good thing for the young men recommended the cancellation of the contract. This was in December, 18%. Instead of canceling the contract, it was bought up by Messrs. Berry and Franklin. Messrs. Cavin and Cobb withdrew from the company and the bus ness was handled by Mr. Graham, the bookkeeper. Mr. Gray made another examination in August, and as the rake-off under the con- tract had subsided the company’s affairs were in better shape. In November the stockhoMers of the Southern Saving Fund and Loan Co. and the Cumberland Real Estate and Building Association voted unanimously on consoli- dation. The movement was not actually effected though, as the Cumberland merely took charge of the Southern's business with the hope of getting it in such shape that conpolidation could be 3 effected. Mr. J. E. Hayward, local manager of the Cumberland, which, like the Southern, is a National Association, says plainly that his company took the Southern in hand to pre- vent a “smash up and the consequent loss of confidence and detriment to their busi- ness throughout the State. When, Inspector Gray god wind of the con- solidation he made another investigation of the Southern and discovered a state of facts eed him to bring the matter into court. From the minutes of the directors’ meet-* ing of Sept. 30, it appears that $400 which Mr. A. Moore Berry owed the company on his stock accoun? was canceled and an agreement entered to * aim in month- ly installments of $100. This $1,000 gift was alleged to be in cousideration for his serv as counsel. Franklin P. Jones’ indebtedn ‘of on stock account was also eanceled 4 eervices en treasurer. -* 9 that real consideration back of this cancelation of indebtedness the surrender by Messrs. Berry and es of the contract they had purchased m Messrs. Cavins and Cobb. r. Gray goes further in his charges, and claims that Mr. Perry received all the $600 inside of three months, that he had previ. ously received $300 for counsel fees which was entered as office rent and that prior to the cancellation of the indebtedness Mr. Berry had received from the company $1,- 038, and Mr. Jones $850.50, and that the can- cellation of their indebtedness was without oy tee e further charges that Jones as a holder of stock of the withdrawal value of $150.50, served notice of withdrawal and was paid 10, prior to other stockholders who had served notice of withdrawals. Mr. ray further charges the directors with carelessness and negligence in the conduct of the affairs of the company. The directors at whom Sapervescr. Gra as leveled this onslaught said that Mr. yd oore Ber was the man to do all the ex- laining. e did not appear perturbed at r. Gray’s charges, and ughed when re- minded that the Supervisor had charged the directors with maptppriatiag funds. He can say that if he likes,” said Mr. Berry. ‘The company’sebooks will show for themselves. His letter following his ex- amination last August was full of compli- ments. He objected to the contract with Cayins & Cobb, saying that when the com- pany has several millions of stock in issue, ir compensation was too great. He a peared satisfied when the voluntarily agreed not to take more than a month, He claims I received $1,088 from the com- y for services. I received $250 for draw- neg up the incorporatioh papers.

HE IS WORKING HARD AT IT, VERY HARD, INDEED. — — — In the Meantime the Pool-Room Men Are Scoring Blackboards and Selling Yellow Tickets. The customary number of pool rooms, with the customary gang of hangers-on, were open for business to-day unmolested by the police or the city officials. The offi- cial end of the police machinery had moved one cog, however, toward 4 solution of the question. Mr, Marshall had set himself to constructing an opinion. When called upon in his office Wednesday morning he was right in the midst of it, Around him was @ fortifloa on of books of jaw and — sufficient to decide the Laclede Beside a sten pencils w 4 opi .

The bookmakers feel confident that there is no law to stop them, but they are watching Mr. Marshall very closely, just the same. QUINN FOR THE WORK-HOUSE. Would Not Leave When Told and Now He Can't.

N Dr. Abernethy’s Advice About How to Go Through the Winter. “Keep the stomach warm and you cannot only defy dyspepsia, but go through the severest winter without any danger of catching cold. It was Dr. Abernethy, the celebrated English physician, who once gave this advice to « wealthy “patient. He was right. It is a well-known fact that cold has a way of finding out the weak spots in the body and sud- Genly attacking them. It generally strikes first at the stomach, “which is @ very sensitive place. It next affects the circulation and makes the blood course feebiy through the veins. That is why peo- ple who catch cold have aches gnd pains, lose their appetite and suffer from . The way to prevent colds is to keep the stomach warm end the blood moving rapidly by the regular use of a pure stimulant.

From Start to Finish the Alleged Iu- vestigation Was Merely a Mock- ery of Justice and Good Taste. The King of France and 10,000 men up the hill and then marched down again. The so-called Koenig Investigating Com- mittee did the same thing. When the committee was appointed School Director H. C. Koenig vigorously de- clared that he wanted every matter gone into that had been charged against him as a School Director. The committee went perfunctorily into the charge that Koenig had knowingly permit- ted Alexander Waters, his brother-in-law. to pay mechanics M cents an hour for echool work and collected 40 cents an hour from the Board. . They ignored the charge that Koenig, in company with Director Cudmore, visited a school contractor in his room, where was discussed the letting of a school contract for heating apparatus and what there was in it for them, and that Koenig was one of the “Big Four“ ready to vote for a proposi- tion in return for a rake-off. They ignored the charge that Koenig knowingly permitted other repair contrac- tors than Waters, in his district, 90 pay their men 20 cents and collect 4 cents from the board. They ignored the tharge that he permitted the employment as carpenters on schools in his diswict. of a sewer-digger, a shoe- maker and a blacksmith, at least two of whom were his personal friends. They even excluded testimony offered to substitute the specific charge made by Bern- hard Huelsmann, as well as questions de- . to bring out such testimony wherever 5 airman Collins could discover an excuse or — 1 80.

JUST A WOODSHED CAUSED HIS DEATH. A TRIVIAL QUARREL ENDS IN A PISTOL MURDER. FICHT SHOT AT HIS DOOR. The Slayer When Locked Up Avers That He Fired the Shot in Self-Defense. Deputy Coroner Lloyd held an inquest Wednesday on Frederick Ficht, the grocer, hot and killed by Frederick Hes«nberg Tuesday evening. Heimberg was held for the killing. Ficht's death resulted from a family quarrel, whose trivial beginning was out of all proportion to its tragic ending. Ficht kept a grocery Store and saloon at 3201 Kossuth avenue. Heimberg lived next door, at 320. He is a carpenter and has been unemployed for geome time. ' The families have lived side by side for eix years and had no trouble un Ficht de- cided to bu.ld a shed im his side yard, next to the Helmberg residence. Ficht told Heimberg he intended to erect a stable. This was said in fun, but Heim- berg took it in earnest. e was excited about the matter and threatened to protest ainst the building of the stable. oht then told him that he was going to build an ordinary woodshed. Heimberg him to build the shed. Last Monday morning the work was com- menced by Joe Grace of 4036 North Grand eimberg was furious when he found he would not get the job. He and Ficht had thot words and it looked as if they would come together. Helmberg brooded over his troubles for a day or two. Then he told his neighbors how he had been treated by Ficht. He is said to have made uncomplimentary re- marks about Ficht’s wife. ° Shortly before 6 o’clock Tuesday Heimberg went to Ficht’s store to buy some yeast for his wife and some whisky for himself. Besides Ficht and Heimberg only Joe Grace was in the store a? the time. According to his account, when Heimberg entered Ficht accused him of slandering his wife. The Fichts were separated for awhile five years — and Helmberg is sad to have talked of this in a manner derogatory to Mrs. Ficht's good name. Grace says that Heim- berg walked out of the store and Fich? followed him, telling him that he must not talk about his wife. They went out on the pavement, where Heimberg pulled his revolver and shot Ficht through the *emple. So far as is known there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting. 2 reached the s.dewalk just as Ficht 611. Helmberg walked to the Fair Grounds Station and gave himself up. From there he was taken to the Fifth District Station. Ficht was carried to his room over the ‘store and died an hour jater. Heimberg does not deny the shooting, but says that Ficht struck him and was com- ing at him in a threatening manner when he fired the shot. Ficht was well-to-do and highly respect- ed. He owned a number of fine trotting horses and was a member of the Gentle- men’s Driv.ng Club. He was 37 years old and left a wife and two children. Heimberg is 34 years old and has a wife and four children. QUARRELED WITH “HUBBY.” Then She Tried to Kill Herself With Laudanum. Alice Kelly, alias Glatner, 22 years old, an inmate of a house on Clark avenue near Broadway, attempted suicide by taking a large dose of laudanum early Wednesday morning. She was removed to the City Dispensary, where Dr Kearney relieved ther from dan- ger. She was then sent to the City Hos- pital.

MILNER’S DEPARTMENT IS A BURST COMMUNITY. FUND GIVEN HIM TOO SMALL. — He Says That the Work to Be Done in St. Louis Requires at Least $200,000. Street Commissioner A. N. Milner is get- ting his force down to a mid-winter and end- | N of-the-fiscal-year basis. Overseers of con- struction and inspectors of street railroad construction are being let out as fast as the improvement work which has been in prog- ress is finished up. " There will be no new work begun until spring, and Mr. Milner has no money to pay o men for whose services he has no need. Forty men were dropped from the rolls Tuesday. Of these, 27 were overseers of constructicns, at $83 a month, and the rest were inspectors of street railroad There will be no more work for the over- | seers until spring, but Mr. Milner may find | something for e inspectors to do after the holidays. The funds of the Street Department. are running very low. There remains of the fund for repairing with gravel, cinders and ma- cadam only 41.643, with the worst four months of the fiscal year yet to come. This amount will only permit of the very worst holes being mended, and even then it is more than probable that the fund will be entlrely exhausted before another appropri- at‘on is made in April. work. ' — Oe He has received a request for ner from the principal of the Gratiot l, the puppils of which in bad weather have to wade through seas of mud to get to school. But he can do nothing. He has no money for dhe purpose. “IT hate to think,” he said, “of children to wade through the mud to get to but I cannot make walks without There is only one remedy that I havin school, money. can think of and that is for the people in mud-ridden sections to make their own ash walks.“ If there is one thing of which Mr. Milner is fully persuaded it is that his depart- ment receives a shamefully inadequate ap- propriation. Last year it was $150,000. This year Mr. Milner was given only $100,000 with which to take care of an iricreased mileage. He has run behind, as he expected he would. Much needed work has to be left undone because there is no mongy to pay for it. Conse- quently the department will enter upon the next fiscal year with not only a still great- er mileage, but with a large amount of necessary work carried over. Mr. Milner thinks the department should receive at least $200,000 next year. — —— — * * Post- office and express companies’ depots.
