BUILDING ACTION INVOLVING TITLE TO IT IN THE CIRCUIT COURT. FAGIN ESTATE IS PLAINTIFF. Alleged That the Dead Miller Was Un- duly Influenced in the Transac- tion by His Son-in Law. A suit involving the title of the Fagin property, on Olive street, near Eighth etreet, was filed fm the Circuit Court Mon- day morning by Attorneys Seddon & Bia'r, representing the Union Trust Co., adm-nis- trators of the estate of Aaron W, Fagin. The sutt is directed against the Vandalia Investment Co., Burlington Building Co., Connecticut Investment Co., Mississippi Valley Trust Co., Willlam P. Nelson, Otto 1. Mersman, John T. Davis and Samuel Cc. Davis. Mr. Fagin was the President of the Fagin Building Co. and held all but two shares of the stock in the concern. The Fagin Build- “ing Co., or Mr. Fagin, held a ninety-nine year lease upon three pieces of property, ag- gregating eighty-five feet, Upon this ground the Fagin Building, the most grotesque piece of architecture in St. Louis, was erected, at a cost of $150,000, and Mr. Fagin held an option, by which he could purchase the ground at any time for ,000. On July 18, 189%, Mr. Fagin entered into an agreement with William P. Nelson and Otto L. Mersman, the real estate men, by which he agreed to sell to them his yA ny and the leaseholds for the sum of ,000, of which $85,000 was to be paid in cash, and $115,000 in deferred payments, to be secured by a deed of trust upon the leases. Nel- son & Mersman were also to pay the taxes and an annual rental of $12,500. At the time the agreement was made, the Manchester Savings Bank of Manchester N. H., as security for a debt of $75,000. held 1,000 shares of . Fagin’s stock., It is claimed that the contract with Nelson & Mersman was made without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Directors of the Fagin Building Company or the Manchester Savings Bank. The Union Trust Co. estates that Nelson & Mersman caused to be incorporated the Vandalia Investment Co., with Ashbel L. Fields, Daniel G. Taylor and Isaac T. Cook as “straw” stockholders and directors. The same men also o ized the Connecticut Investment Co. with. @ capital stock of rks employed by & Mersman, while Taylor was the attorney for the firm,and the petition states that both companies were under the con- trol of the real estate men. On July 29, the transfer of the lease- holds to Nelson Mersman was made. On the same day Nelson & Mersman exercised their right of option, and bought the prop- erty for $130,000 from the reversionary own- ers On the game day the property was trans- ferred to the Vandalia Co. otherwise Fields, Cook & Taylor. The Vandalia Co. in turn transferred the property to Fields for what was supposed to be.a consideration of $450,- . Later in the day Mr. Fields exetuted a ninety-nine-year lease upon the property to the Connecticut company. The Connecti- cut company then gave . Fagin notes ag- eregating $106,000, and transferred a deed of trust upon the leasehold to the Mississippi Valley Trust Co, to secure the payment of the notes. In the next move Fields, ening Nel- son & Mersman,borrowed $220,000 from the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and gave notes aggregating that amoynt. The notes were secured by the conveyance to the Trust Co. of the Fagin property, subject to the Con- necticut lease. t Nelson & Mersman used the proceeds of this loan to pay Mr. Fagin the $85,000 and to ay the $130, to the reversionary owners. hen awe the Vandalia company a warranty d upon the property, subject to the Connecticut lease and the Mississipp! Valley deed of trust. In ali matters, it is all d, Fields acted as the agent of Nelson © Attar Uae Sty Wisin Cetsanat er r. orsed and deliv- ered to himself the notes for $115,000 and the deed of trust on the Connecticut leasehold. Mr. mn became il July 1, 189. He was not able to ettend to business, and J. Ww. Metcalf, a stepson of Mrs. J. L. Metcalf. Mr. Fagin's daughter, gained what the pe- tetion claims was an undue influence over the man and could make him do as he leased, At. thie point the Bufliington ullding Company appears upon the scene, The petition claims that a scheme fo further speculation with the property was concel by Messrs. Nelwon and Mers- man and the Burlington Building Co. was organized, with a large nominal capital Block. The scheme, according to the peti- tion, Was to cause the Connecticut comrany to surrender its lease to the Vandal.a com- moe & then to get Mr. Fagin to release his of trust upon the Connecticut lease; of causing the Vandalla company, which would then possess the ttle to the property, to convey to the new Burlington company a ease for ninety-nine years, reserving an annual rental of $13,500 for ten years and $15,000 for the remainder of the time. en, it is claimed, the paid-up stock in the Burlington company would be issued to people representing Neilson & Mersman and would apparently paid for by the trans- ‘fer of she lease. Then the new company would issue its-bonds to the extent of ,000 and secure them by a deed of trust upon the leasehold. Then, according to the petition with. the Mississipp! wah % be canceled and secure a new loan of $240,000, by the same old deed of trust ne one It was pare = a ; Was to be use to remodel the building, (n o -e 3 public to buy stock. cme rears It is claimed that the ce ' ’ interest J. next move was to W. Metcalf in the scheme. It is eneeed that by reason of his influence over Mr. Fagin he mangged to secure all that wasdesired. Mr. Fagin released the deed of trust, $25,000 cash, d note of $15,000, secured by bonds in the new company, and $75,000 of the company’s bonds. It is cla'med in the etition that the men worked upon Mr. Fag- ns dears by teiling him that the Connec- ticut company would probably not be able pd moe yond oy nants on = lease and would ; y embarrassing th man’ sy . mule he die soon, earge F ® pettion goes on to state tha , Fagin did not sign the release. or if he iy his physical and mental! condition was euch that he did not realize its importance, The poee hext states that on Feb. 3, 1886, Metcalf became agent for Me.

THEY WERE BUSINESS-LIKE. Three Men Hold Up an Armed Officer With Notable Ease and Celerity. George Napper, a private watchman, was held up and robbed by three footpads at 9:30 o’clock Sunday night. Napper is employed by the chutes com- pany, at Grand avenue and Hebert street. He was on his way to his home, 5333 Bul- wer avenue, when he met the robbers. Napper had just entered a vacant lot be- tween East Grand avenue and Broadway and Gano avenue and Von Phul street. Three men emerged from the shadow of a building and stepped in front of Napper. One of them covered Napper with his re- volver and commanded him to throw up h.s hands. The pistol was within a few inches of his face and the footpad’s voice had a, convincingly earnest ring. Napper’s hands went up and one of the men seized him from behind. The man with the pistol kept the watch- man covered. He told him he would shovt- if he made the slightest resistance. The third robber went through Napper's pocket. His purse, containing a $5 bill and, some change, was taken a8 were his revolver and his watchman’s club, After eee | with their victim the high- waymen warned him to make no alarm until they were out of reach or they would kill him. The three highwaymen then took to their theels and ran north to Prairie avenue. Napper reported the robbery the Sixth ‘strics Police Station. He say# one man was about 34 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high and weighed about 160 pounds. He had a heavy black mustache and wore a white shirt and a heavy black Overcoat. Ths is the wg io of the man who stood in front of Napper and held the revolver in his face while the others went through him. Napper could not give a g00d description of the other men. One, he sald, was about 5 feet 8 inches tal and the other 5 feet 6 inches. They were both stout and wore dark clothes, He says he thinks the same men foliowed him from the chutes to his home about a week ago.

Simple Services Emphasize the Pomp : and Glitter That Preceded and Followed Them. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, TIL, Jan. :11.—John Riley Tanner is Governor of Illinois, being sworn in before Chief Justice Magruder of : Supreme Court at noon, in the presence of over 2,000 people in Representatives Hall. When Shadrach Bond was elected Iili- nois’ first Governor there was no blare of trumpets, display of bunting or turnout of State militia. He simply mounted his o!d roan filly and rode down to Kaskaskia, was sworn in, took possession of his Iitte two-by-four office and went about his bus- iness. His salary was small, $1,000 per year. ; Just forty years ago occurred the inaugur- ation of the first Governor Illinois ever had. The one of to-day was the most bril- lHiant affair ever attempted, and certainly overshadowed all the other thirty-nine put together—and then some to spare. efore the day had fairly broken, people from surrounding towns and cities began ar- riving, and by noon there were fully 50,000 Strangers on the streets of Springfield. Long before the parade started standing room in and around the Public Square was not to Be had for love or money. Tindows, treetops, housetops and other unusual places, were stacked with men and boys, and in many places women and girls, all bent on seeing the parade and State officials. scarcely The review stand was located on the south side of the Public Square and was oc- ecupied by Gov.-elect and Mrs. Tanner and other State officials and their wives. When Gov. Tanner took his place in the rev'ew stand hats came off and lusty cheers emi- nated from the throats of the thousands crowded around, irrespective of political relations Gov. Tamner bowed to the multi- tude, in acknowledgment of the good will so stentoriously accorded him. The mil tary division formed on Seventh street, with its right resting on Adams street. The civic division formed on Seventh street, with ‘ts right resting on Adams street, and its left extending north on Seventh and west on Washington street. Promptly at 10:45 a. m. the signal gun an- nounced the moving of the column. As the column passed west on Adams street the official occupants of the review stand rcse to their feet, surrounding Mr. and Mrs. Tan- ‘ner, who stood atthe front railing of the stand. The Governor's head was bared and a amile of pleasure played over his features and those of h's charming wife, who waved: a bunch of roses, which she held in her hand. The procession passed west to Fourth street and south on Fourth street to Mon- roe street, east on Monroe street to Sixth street, south on Sixth to Cook street, east on Cook to Seventh etreet, south on Sev- enth street to Allen, west on Allen street to Sixth street, north on Sixth to Douglas street, west on Dougias to ‘Fourth street, north on Fourth to Capitol avenue, west on Capitol avenue to Second street, and thence north to the entrance of the State-house yard. By the time that the head of the proces- sion had reached the State House grounds entrance, the streets leading to the Capitol were thronged with people who were eagerly hurrying to join the crowd that had al- ready assembled about the huge building. The right of the Military Division rested at the north entrance of the State House and the entire division wheeled to the left with an imposing regimental front. The Civic Division formed on the’ right and left in open order, and carriages which brought Gov. Tanner and the State of- ficers from the review stand passed be- tween the ranks thus formed. Mounted troops acted as escort to the Governor and State officers, and the mem- bers of Gov, Tanner’s old regiment, the Ninety-eighth Illinois, acted as his per- sonal escort. ad The inaugural ceremonies, though simple in form, were solemn and impressive, and as the State officers-elect, accompanied by their wives, entered the Auditorium of the House of Representatives, a silence pre- vailed that was broken only by ‘the distant deep reverberating intonations of the guns of Battery D, Illinois National Guard, that were firing the Governor's salute. As the State officers-elect passed into the Audi- torilum they were met and escorted by their predecessors and their wives and the party passed 5 ~~? . a» , , = Be OWE: « VA : te i f aie 2 wi Me ee u ; ’ ¥ - 4 =F OT ee Aa a Son ee), Taye cai aE A ices | OME IN SPAIN, LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES DIS- TRUSTED BY THE PEOPLE. POPULAR IMPATIENCE GROWS. The Procrastinating Policy of Capt.- Gen. Weyler in Cuba Is Bit- terly Resented. * NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: The popular imoatience with the Govern- ment because of the failure to suppress the rebellions in Cuba and the Phillipine Islands is da‘ly increasing. Thousands of the young men of Spain have been sent to Cuba, where they have met their death from disease or from the hardships of the campaign. Their families believe they would yet be alive were it not for the procrastfnating policy cf Capt.-Gen. Weyler who, despite his promises to put down the rebellion, has apparently accomplished little, while his unacclimated troops have been dying ‘by scores and hun- dreds. The leaders of both the Conservative and Liberal parties are d'strusted and the po- litical outicok is chaotic. Rumors of a change in the ministry are frequently put into circulation and as frequently denied, but in the present temper of the people, the succession of the Liberals to power would not banish the distrust which prevails everywhere. The future is looked forward to with much anxiety. PLAIN WORDS TO SPAIN. Minister Taylor Addresses a Daring Letter to the Government. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The correspondent of the Journal at Madrid sends the follow- ing cable dispatch: A friend of the Duke of Tetuan has just revealed the contents of a bold and ex- traordinary letter addressed to ‘the Span- ish Government last week by United. States Minister Tayler. It is satd that the Queen Regent was greatly moved when Taylor's blunt message was convéyed to her, and that the Government now considers the dip- lomatic issue with the United States as fully defined. After announcing that Secretary Olney had cabled approval of his condemnation of sham Porto Rico reforms as worthless, and of promise of greater reforms in Cuba as too vague, Minister Taylor wrote in plain terms his individual idea of what Sec- retary Olney meant when he urged prompt action upon Spain. He said in his letter to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs that unlers Spain offered clear and reason- able terms as the basis of peace in Cuba before President Cleveland went out of office the question of local self-government in the island would soon disappear from American politics and the only question to remain would be the immediate and un- conditional recognition of the independence of the Cuban Republic. Minister Taylor pointed out the fact that President Cleveland was confronted by a tremendous opposition in America in his effortsto befriend Spain and promote peace upon the basis of Spanish sovereignty. The opposition was divided into two groups— those favoring the recognition of the bel- ligerency of the Cuban arms and those fa- voring immediate, formal recognition of Cuban independence. By voluntarily proclaiming her intention to grant local self-government and genu- ine economic reforms in definite language, Spain would strengthen the hands of the President in dealing with this opposition ang would furnish in these explicit prom- isas a basis upon which honorable peace between Spain and the insurgent armies might be established. But Minister Taylor pointed out tn unmis- takable words that the time in which such friendly negotiations might ‘be _ initiated was very short. The present administra- tion as Washington must soon go out of office, and if Spain failed to offer before that time such a scheme of real self-gov- ernment in Cuba as would commend itself to the new world, then all idea of reforms in Cuba, emanating from Spain, would pass out of view and only one question would remain in America—the independence of the new Republic. The Duke of Tetuan says this is the most serious document that has beg¢n written since the insurrection began. It is not known whether Premier Canovas has yet decided what reply he will make to this stirring, if not threatening, letter. Since his now famous interview with Mr. Cree!- man the has been guarded in his expres- sions. One of Sagasta’s most trusted lieutenants told me to-day that if the Liberal party should be returned to power now, Ameri- can mediation would be at once accepted. WHAT MONEY LEARNED. Lee Sends Word to Olney That Spain’s Cause Is Hopeless. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Senator-elect Money of Mississippi sends the Journal the following letter from Washington: I have returned,after a two weeks’ absence, on @ visit to Cuba, I went there to person- ‘ally inform myself, for my own guidance as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, as to the condition of things in the island. Accounts have been so con- flicting and the reports from Havana so diverse that I concluded to make some per- sonal discovery in the matter for myself. At the very outset I will say that every- thing I saw and heard taught me that Spain is unable to. cope with the insurrection. The last thing Gen. Fitzhugh Lee said to me as I left Havana was: “Please see Secretary Olney and tell him that to-day am more firmly convinced than ever that Spain cannot put down the insurrection, and that every day it contin- ues means a loss of life and property, with- out the remotest encouragement of any final Spanish success. As I long since told him, the insurrection will succeed. My judgment to that effect receives daily con- firmation."’ Yesterday I saw Secretary Olney and communicated to him Gen. Lee's message. I am not permitted, however, to make pub- fic Mr. Olney’s comments. The insurgents are so strong that to-day thev levy a tax on all the fruit, vegetables, milk, corn and meat that enter Havana from the country. It is a tax like a tariff, and goes to the height of about 2 per cent ad valorem. Not a mouthful of Cubart product is to-day eaten in Havana that does not pay a tariff to the revolution. Irn this indirect way, Weyler is himself con- tributing to the revolution. There is a movement now on foot, mainly with the Marquis Apézteguisa to promote it, which may have some political effect in Cuba. When I left the island the other day it was the plan of the Marquis to start for Madrid on January 10 to demand the re- call of Gen. Weyler and of Minister de e. He its very mun aapeetienes with Weyler’s management oO e war; says that Weyler is not trying to put down the insurrection, and that De Lome is of no Spanish use at Washington. He charges De Lome with much foolish expenditure of Spanish money at Washington, and says that he has seen his accounts at the Madrid Treasury which showed that the Spanish Minister was paying out an average sum of $1,500 a day at Washington in the nature ‘ rvice” money. This would be r De Lome’s salary or the f himeelf and his suite. eguisa is one of the Th arq richest men of the Cones interest in a Fortifying Dry Tortugas.

Massacres Almost Beyond Belief Are of Frequent Occurrence There. KEY WEST, Fla., Jan. 11.—Tales of atroc- ities a® Guanabacoa almost beyond belief are brought here by every steamer. Thurs- day the Spanish soldiers at Col. Fondes- Viela’s command rushed through the stree%s of the town shouting that the insurgents were coming. The inhabitants, alarmed by the cry, rushed out of their homes and as they emerged they were sho? down by the Spaniards. Thirty men, women nad chil- dren were killed, and their corpses left in the streets. One girl, who fled in her night- clothes, prayed fof mercy, but she was as- saulted by a Spanish soldier and then butchered with a machete. It is significans that none of the Spanish inhabitants rushed from their homes, showing that they had been warned by Col. Fondesvy-ela of the trap laid for the Cubans, On Friday the Bishop of Havana wens to Guanabacoa to prevent further butcheries if possible. He found the corpses still in the street, but at the Bishop’s request Fon- desviela allowed the victims to be inverred. A schoolboy 10 years old was killed in Guanabacoa on Thursday evening by a Spanish patrol because he refused to hurrah for Spain. More than 500 persons have moved from Guanabacoa within ten days. Another large pit with dead bodies in it has been discovered near Guanabacoa in thick underbrush: Decompos:tion was too far advanced to permit recognition of the bodies. It is supposed that these victims of Spanish cruelty belonged to the poorer class of that suburb, as many have been reported ‘“‘missing”’ lately. It is also reported tha® in the outskirts of Pinar del Rio, capital of the Province of that name, the Spanish soldiers go to the homes of Cubans, and after tying handker- chiefs over the mouths of their victims they assaul® the girls, either in their rooms or in the yard. Their parents and friends dare not say a word for fear of be‘ng put. to death on the spot. ) ADVENTURES IN CUBA. Narrow Escape of Three Americans, Who Are Now in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.—James Mce- Guire of this city, Jeremiah Bonds of New York and Charles W. Allen of Stamford, Conn., have just reached th'‘s city, after a thrilling experience in Cuba, in the course of which William Barry of New York, who had accompanied them, was shot and killed by Spaniards. They were captured near Mariel and made a dash for liberty duri the night, Barry being killed in the attempt. The remaining three escaped, but were again taken a few days later. They were offered their liberty and passage home if they signed a paper swearing allegiance to the Queen of Spain, all promising on oath to.do all they could against the Cuban cause in the United States. This they agreed to, and were re- leased, Lieut. Hays Going to Cuba. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 11.—The res- ignation of Lieut. Hays of the 18th Infantry, Fort Sam Houston, has been received at the post. Lieut. Hays said in his letter that when the resignation arrived in this city he would be well on his way to Cuba. He is a native of Illinots and rose. from the ranks. Apezteguia Departs. HAVANA, Jan. 11.—There was a notable demonstration of sympathy for the Marquis of Apezteguia on the occasion of his depar- ture for Spain. IVORY’S CASE. aé The Grand-Jury Instructed to Find a True Bill Against Him. LONDON, Jan, 11.—In the Central Crimi- nal Court to-day the recorder, in charging the Grand-jury, directed attention to the case of Edward J. Ivory, alias Bell, the saloonkéeper of New York, who is charged with conspiring to cause a dynamite ex- ploston, and said it was the duty of the jurymen to find a true bill against the prisoner. Former. Assistant District Attorney Mc- Intyre of New York, who resigned that post to come here to conduct the defense of Ed- ward J. Ivory, charged with ccmplicity with P. J. Tynan in a dynamite conspiracy, says: : “T find evidence here of a determination to convict Bell, or Ivory, at any cost. I learn that every favor is to be extended to me by the English bar, and I may be ai- lowed to plead, and, at any rate, to cross- examine Jones. This is the first time that such favor has been extended in a quarter of a century. The trial has been postponed to the 18th.” ABSALOM RUNS AMUCK.

The only safeguard St. Louis citizens have against Murphy's toughs is the extra vigilance the police are likely to exercise over them, now that it is appar- ent that they are to be left free to carry “on their nefarious warfare against so- ciety until, by some act of sandbagging or outrage, they place themselves beyond even the protection of the Friend of Toughs on the bench. Perhaps Judge Murphy thinks he is guarding the rights of humble citizens under that merciful legal maxim that in- nocence must be presumed until guilt is But the citizens object to this fine old maxim being applied indiscrim- inately to well-known thieves and law- breakers, whom any judge with common sense and a regard for the welfare of the community would unhesitatingly place behind bars, so as to prevent them from taking part.in the carnival of crime for a short time at least. Citizens will do well to study the rogues’ gallery of Murphy's Toughs and keep a good lookout for them. They have a license to roam, rob and maltreat. All that can be hoped is that they will exer- cise thig license with as much modera- tion as the genus Tough is capable &¥. EE “A REIGN OF “SPOILS.” Mr. McKinley, we are now told, is to return to the old method of allowing Re- publican Congressmen and; Senators en- tire control of the patronage in their dis- tricts and States. Certainly he is. Mr. McKinley will be asking more of Congress than has any other President within a generation. He will have a distinctive McKinley policy to enforce, and a President in such a po- sition is always at the mercy of Con- Gfressmen, so far as patronage is con- cerned. Not only will Mr. MeKinley give Con- Eressmen control of “the available pat- ronage,’ but he will, at their insistence and suggestion, take advantage of every defect in the Civil Service law to let their henchmen and retainers into office. As the Civil Service law is as full of de- fects as a sieve is of holes, it will not be @ year after the McKinley inauguration until the Federal service is filled with Republicans. The Post-Dispatch is already on record with the prediction that the McKinley Administration will be the most pro- nounced “spolls” administration § the country has recently seen. The prophecy is worth making a note of. a FORECLOSE THE MORTGAGE. Senator Pettigrew proposes to send good money after bad money in his bill to appropriate $10,000,000 to take up the Unton Pacific Railway Company's trust notes. These notes, he explains, consti- tute a private lien on the branches of the main line, not subject to the Government mortgage, and that unless the Govern-- ment discharges that debt and relieves the branch lines of the prior claim, it can. not operate them, and its management of the main line will result in a loss. Senator Pettigrew does not make him- self clear tm this connection. There is little probability that the bill he pro- poses can become a law. As things have been managed, and as they now stand, both the Central and Union Pacific Com- ee ._ panies are in @ position to defy the Gov. £90 MEE!

The debt due the Government amounts now to $115,000,000. The railroad interests propose to refund this debt for a period of fifty years at 2 per cent per annum. As the Government is now paying double that rate of interest on its bonds, on which the roads have defaulted, it would find itself out over $2,000,000 a year on the deal. In the fifty years it would have doubled its losses. The only proper thing to do is to fore- close the mortgage. It is not probable that the Government could manage the lines at a profit. But it could sell them, and if it could realize 50 cents on the dol- lar of its indebtedness by the sale, it would be making a good escape from a very bad business. It is strange that, in the very presence of such an embarrassment as this, grow- ing out of an ill-consideréd subvention ar- rangement, there should be interests at Washington proposing a practically sim- ilar guarantee of the Nicaragua Canal project. OBSTRUCTION IS FOOLISH. The Post-Dispatch pointed out the other day to the managers of the railroad cor- porations in Missouri that it is the indis- criminate obstruction which they have offered to all railroad legislation, even when it was of a remedial character, that is responsible for the rising storm of pop- ular feeling, and for the growing de- mand for radical and even retaliatory legislation. On plain grounds of self-interest, it would be wise for the railroads to acqui- esce in and accept a fair and effective Fellow Servant bill. By doing this in the proper spirit, they would go far to neu- tralize the efforts that will undoubtedly be made at the present session to enact legislation which they have far more rea- son to dread tHan a Fellow Servant bill. The House is undoubtedly’ ready for thoroughgoing legislation of this charac- ter. Apparently the Senate is still under the control of the lobby, representing cor- poration influences, but it will not do for this. Popular legislation enacted by the House and held up in the Senate will arouse a storm of popular wrath against the latter body. Even if the present Sen- ate should be obstinate enough to again defy public opinion, the next Senate, elected when the people’s attention is not diverted from State affairs by a Presi- dential campaign, would be certain to be in accord with the House. Then the people’s innings .would come. The wisest thing the railroads can do at this time is to accept the Fellow Servant bill demanded by the workingmen, and to cease sending a lobby to Jefferson City for purposes of obstruction. oo LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE. Rev. Dr. Boyd is saying of the School Board what has often been said before, but he is saying it in an effective way and in a way that cannot fail of influ- ence at Jefferson City, where the School Board will soon be on trial. But Dr. Boyd, it.is to be feared, may only thunder in the index. The other night in a ward meeting where he ap- peared for the Civic Federation he was confronted by a member of the School Board who attributed to him statements for which Dr. Boyd felt called upon to disclaim the responsibility. The war of words led to the statement by Dr. Boyd that the Civic Federation is in possession: of evidence which ought to put some members of the Board in the Peni- tentiary, but that the Federation is not disposed to prosecute the case so far. Why not? If the Civic Federation is in possession of evidence of that charac- ter it should not withhold it. If it knows of incriminating acts by members of the Board it becomes its imperative duty not only to make them public, but to ex- ert the whole of its organized power to secure the indictment, conviction and punishment of the ‘guilty. In no other way can the high public ends and uses it is ealled to serve be served so effec- tively. The conviction of rascals in public of- fice is necessary to any real or lasting re- form. Wecan go on reorganizing public Boatds until the end of time, or devising statutes to prevent public delinquencies. But we shall fail in the objects aimed at so long as weewink at crime in official place or stop short of the full measure of justice. What St. Louis has néeded for a long time, and what it needs now, is a clear case under the rules of evidence, and a strong organized body such as the Civic Federation, to prevent a defeat of the ends of justice. - SR ee It comes from Washington that. while the Treasury is paying out millions of dollars of notes that are redeemable again by the Government in gold, the Treasury is receiving only silver (certificates) im payment of customs duties. In other words, while discharging its own obliga- tions in gold, the Government is com- pelled to receive and is receiving only silver for customs duties, taxes, etc. We may soon, therefore, be able to fix the date of another run on the gold reserve.

Around This as a Nucleus, Starkloff Will Rally His Forces in His Fight to Be Mayor. Dr. Max Starkloff, Health. Commissioner, and aspirant for the Republican nomin- ation for Mayor, now has a pdlitical club as a nucleus around which to rally his fighting forces. The club was formed Sunday afternoon among the cobwebs and spittoons in a hall over Havlin’s Theater. It was christened the “Union League Club.”’ This new Republican club is composed of old members of the Merchants’ League Club, who reVolted from that organiza- tion on acount of ‘the Czar-like rule of Old Man Filley. It is.the old war of the Silks and the Hoodlums, this split in the ranks of the Merchants’ League Club. But this time new features are added to the fight in that some of the old-time members of the Filley ‘‘push’ are joining hands with the Silks. Even an old Lieutenant of “De Ole Man,” who in days gone by was always ad- mitted to the Holy of Holies at the Mosque, is now his most bitter opponent. This is John Henry Pohlman, ex-Sheriff, who was ingloriously thrown down by Filley when Sheriff Troll was nominated the last time. Pohiman has now become a stanch sup- porter of+Dr. Starkloff for Mayor, as against either Ziegenhein or Nagel, or any man that might receive Filley’s indorsement. Pohl- man has been a leading spirit in bringing about a revolt from the old club and the organization of the new one. About 150 men were present at the meet- ing in Havlin’s Hall. Invitations had been sent out by John A. Gernez, ex-Sheriff Pohl- man and Charlie Claudius. A temporary or- ganization was effected by electing the fol- lowing temporary officers: Chairman, John A. Gernez; Financial Secretary, Ed Al- bright; Recording Secretary, John H. Kunz, A committee composed of Rufus J. Delano, L. E. Kaltwasser and John K.

They Were Special Counsel for the City in the Fight With the Ed- ison Company. A special appropriation bill will be brought up in the Council Frid&y night, providing for the payment of $5,000 attorneys’ fees to Fisher & Kehr for their services in the matter of the claim of the city agains*® the Edison Electric Light Co., which was com- promised by the terms of the Keyes bill granting the company conduit rights, condi- tioned on their getting their wires under- ground before Jan. 1, 1898. This bill will bear investigation. It is not fully understood by some of the Councilmen themselves. It is necessary to review a lit- tle past history to “hrow light on ét. Nearly two years ago Fisher & Kehr were engaged as special counsel to repre- sent the city in an effort to collect from the Edison company the amount claimed by the city under the ordinance by which the company was required to pay to the city a percentage of its earnings. The re- muneration provided for was 8 per cent of all amounts recovered by the city by suit or compromise. Suit was brought and then for a time the matter ended. Then, while the suit was still pending, the Keyes conduit bill was introduced and passed. An amendment provided that the company should pay $5,000 on Sept. 1 and $5,000 on Jan. 1, and for three years there- after, making in all $25,000. This was not for conduit privileges, but as a compromise of the suit then pending. Now comes the bill to appropriate $5,000 for attorneys’ fees. Special counsel under the terms of their appointment are entitled to 8 per cent of the amount recovered, or 2,000 in all. In addition to this they re- ceived $2,500 as a retainer in addition to the 8S per cent. The charter and ordinances require that special counsel can only be en- gaged by the Mayor with the approval af the Council, and they further provide that the terms of their remuneration must be set forth at the time. This was done, and 52,000 is all Fisher & Kehr are entitled to receive. In considering the special appro- priation bill of $5,000, the former action of the Council seems to have been overlooked. ST.

Surrounding property was threatened, and many patients in the Polytechnic Hospital were carried from the bullding.. The top floor of the hospital caught fire, but the property was not entirely de- stroyed.—The Jourhal, Dec. 25. “Fire!’’ A thousand wild voices took up the cry and echoed it along the crowded pavements. One's nerves never become quite hardened from sound sleep at dead of night or rouses one from waking reveries in the hurry and bustle of a great money-mad city. Ten thousand people stood paralyzed along the great thoroughfare, watching with wide eyes the splashing, dashing engines and hosecarts, with their war-like horses stra'n- ing every knotty § sinew. A squad of police were forming a “fire line’ before a four-story building, out of the third tier of whose windows poured volumes of smoke and an occasional serpent-tongue of flame. The enormous interior was being gutted. Happily there was not a soul within, the last occupant, half-clothed, having fled just in time to save himself. Suddenly there burst through the fire line from the surrounding awe-stricken crowds a@ bearded man, rather well-dressed, bronzed and of soldierly bearing. Evidently he was laboring under great mental agony. stood, half-wavering, in the open space for a moment, gazing upward in a sort of frenzy, then darted forward. The flames secmed to hypnotize him. A policeman grabbed him by the collar. “Stay where you are, you idiot!’ he commanded. Then, see'ng that his words had no effect, lowed: “Who are you? What do you want here? But pointed ing wildly. ressed awe. plunged forward, this ns ‘from his captor, who stil) ~ goodly sh h pa shred had parted in the the bluecoat, “Tr that building now— llided them: he to enter there but believed tha3 they had seen a man go voluntarily to his death.

A thousand queries ran through the packed mass, or leaped from | window +o window, ali crowded with human | be'ngs, on the opposite s.de of the street. Suddenly, when hope was gone and faces were turning away, a staggering, wavering shape was seen to emerge from the burning wreck. He was the most pitiable sight | ever beheld. His clothes were half burned from his body, his beard and the hair of ‘his head were gone, he was in smouldering rags, but there was a look of 4mumph upon h.s ace. Between his teeth was an old briarwood pipe! Being on the reportorial staff of a great metropolitan daily, and thus permitted with- in the fire lines, when I saw this amazing spectacle of a man burst from the burning building I ran forward, threw off my heavy coat, and bound it around the half blazing form, at the same time supporting him, for he seemed ready to succumb. With the help of another I succeeded in getting him into a pharmacy, where his wounds were treated, and much: worse they were indeed than I had thought. With wonderful fortitude he allowed the doctor to dress his burns, and although a good share of his charred cloth- ing was taken from him, that pipe remained clenched between his lips. I left him after making him comfortable, then sent in my story. Upon returning I renewed my at- tentions to the suffering stranger, for I was mystified by the foregoing incidents.

So great was its fame when the English were conquering the interior kings of the] Punjab in 1850, and the palace of Shan-Melik was the objective point of a great jewel raid, that the first man who laid hands on the famous Min-hya sapphire was promised a rich reward. The matchless Kohinoor had just been captured from Nadir Show—that “mountain of light’’ which was valued at a million sterling. I was a young man of 18 then, but powerfully built and a Spartan warrior, and was one cf the advance guard, pressing forward thirty-seven miles from the frontier camp on the River Juma, through the jungles toward the palace cap- ital of the great Shah. It was a day of ter- rible experiences, but about 4 o clock we had scaled the palace inclosure and overrun the Would you believe it? There was nota soul We stumbled upon some crude settings, but the gems had been pinched out, and, in- deed. we found the very crown, from which had been pried the historic gem of all India, the great Min-hya sapphire. “Defeated and disheartened—for’ the thought of this spoil had made every man of us wild with ambit:on—we made our- selves at home, for the night was fust able to sleep, I arose, buckled on my revolver, lighted my pipe by way of con- solation, and took a stroll out along the cool borders of the jungle. The heavens so close to earth that it seemed one could almost reach out and pluck them. Enrap- tured with these beauties and enchanted by the strange sounds-of the jungle in- sects and the far-away roar of the cheetas above the noise of distant mountain cata- ace wails, and was suddenly brought to a standstill by a faint, human groan. Breath- lessly I gazed im the direction, clutching my revolver instinctively, fearing some at- tack, Again a low cry, this time so ter- r-ble and expressive of pain that I hurried forward with an impulse to render service rather than to meet an unknown antagon- ist. At last I found the place whence the sad sound came. A native Punjab lay colfled up in a clump of jungle reeds. Although the moonlight was none too clear, I saw by his robe that he had been a palace attendant, probably the only one left In the flight. I stooped low over the sufferer, and, seeing him in at pain, drew forth my brandy gave him the contents.

Monday. Saturday. Year Ago. CHICAGO—Reported by Gaylord, Blessing & Co. noticeable improvement in his physical condition over that of a year ago, when he was a sufferer from indigestion and various organic disorders. “You see,” began Mr. McMahon, “‘to start with, my work—that of setting type at the case—allows me little chance for bodily exercise, and is altogether too confining for anybody who is in the least subject to indigestion or dyspepsia. Perhaps not more so than many another mechanic or artisan who is constantly jndoors and under severe mental strain, while the physical development is sadly in need of something to to keep it in trim. Well, that has been my complaint for years, and some months ago I became very bilious, and constipation made life miserable for me at times. Then it took a seat in my LIVER, which became noticeably inactive, and I became alarmed about it. The first thing I turned my attention to was to secure a ‘liver regulator,’ which, however, failed to regulate; next I sought relief in ‘liver pills,’ which so pained and griped me that the cure was, I thought, worse than the disease. The next thing I did was to throw away the whole ‘shooting match,’ and resolve to + take no more proprietary medicines. However, on hearing my tale of woe one day at the office, a fellow workman offered me a small Tabule—Ripans, he called it—which, he said, he would guarantee to act on the liver. I took it under protest, expecting to be doubled up in about fifteen minues with the ‘gripes.’ But I was agreeably surprised in its action. It was very gentle, and I resolved to try a box.

AWOKE 10 LOOK IN HBR MOTHER'S FACE, AFFECTING SCENE OF RECONCIL- IATION AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. ATLANTIC SEABOARD AND GULF LINES ARE FIGHTING. ST. LOUIS IS INTERESTED. Sudden Prominence of New Orleans and Galveston as Export Points Has Aroused Opposition. The movement inaugurated some time ago by the St. Louis grain men to secure the abulishment of the discriminations against St. Louis in the matter of freight rates on grain promises to result in a bitter fight be- tween the Eastern trunk lines and the South- western railroads for the control of the grain trade of the West and bring about such a slashing of rates as has not been seen in several years. Whether St. Louis will be benefited by the outcome remains to be Been. The action taken by the local grain men at a meeting held at the Merchants’ Ex- change brought the Atlantic seaboard cities to a realization of the fact that for the past two years their grain trade has been gradu- ally slipping away from them and was being captured by the Southern ports. The New York Produce Exchange then filed a com- plaint with the Interstate Commerce Com- mission in regard to excessive terminal charges at that point with a view to com- elling the railroads to grant the same facil- ties for loading ocean steamships as are offered at the Southern and Gulf ports. Boston and Philadelphia were preparing to make similar demands, but the Eastern trunk lines have at last voluntarily decided to take a ‘hand in restoring the grain trade of these cities, as they see that they have been heavy losers by refusing to offer as g00d facilities to Western shippers as are offered by the Southern roads. In New York, Boston and Philadelphia they are now granting concessions to ship- pers which they have refused for several years, but it is doubtful if they will be able to repair the damage which has been done FOUND HER RUNAWAY GIRL. Mrs. Mary Holliday’s Daughter Eloped a Year Ago With a Man Now in Jail. Mrs. Mary Holliday of Memphis, Tenn., came to St. Louis Sunday to find her daught- er, who eloped nearly a year ago and drop- ped out of sigh* While at the Four Courts she learned that her daughter had just been sent to the City Hospital. She located her there and effected a recone: liation. Mrs. Holliday.is ‘he widow of a prominent to their own business and the grain trade of their terminal cities by their prohibitive terminal charges. It is only within the last few years that there have been any heavy shipments of rain by way of the Gulf ports, all grain or export going by way of the Atlantic seaports. The Gulf ports had no facilities for hand- ling and loading grain, and climatic condi- tions were such that grain could not be stored at these cities for any length of time without its becoming ‘‘heated.’’ This caused the Eastern railroads to feel so se- cure in their control of the trade that they became arrogant and refused to grant any concessions to shippers. One charge after another was added to the terminal charges umtil they became almost prohibitive. Prior to 1881 the trunk lines at New York and Boston kept dredges at work to main- tain a sufficient depth in the slips leading to the railroad elevators, to enable large steamships to load direct from the elevat- ors, and ocean vessels were loaded without extra charge, but at that time all of the railroads adopted an eleva*or charge of 1 cent per bushel in addition to the regular terminal charges. Then the dredges were taken off and the slips allowed to fill up so that large steamships could not get up to the elevators, and grain intended for ex- port ‘had to be lightered, thus necessitating another charge. In the meantime the Gulf ports took ad- vantage of this situation of affairs and made the most of their opportunities. New elevators sprung up at New Orleans and Galveston, and every inducement was made to exporters to ship their grain by way of those cities... The railroads terminating at these points took a ‘hand and offered rates that, in addition to making other discrim- inations in favor of these cities, practically offered the free loading of grain on board the vessels. As a result, while the grain trade of New Memphis citizen who has ‘been dead for sev- eral years.

She handles her 9-month-old girl baby as though it were a doll and loves it as devotedly as she does her husband who, she says, is being unjustly persecuted. Prior to her runaway marriage she lived with her mother in Memphis. She was beau- tiful then, and the troubles she has under- gone have not seriously detracted from her beauty. She is tall and graceful, with a clear ARMY OF MEN WANTED WORK. A FAKE NEWS ITEM DREW THEM TO THE CENTURY BUILDING. PREMISES WERE OVERRUN. Watchmen Had to Drive Off the Crowd Before the Regular Force Could Begin. -—— A forcible illustration of the great lack of employment was given at the Century Bu*ld- ing, Ninth and Olive streets, Monday morn- ing. Two local papers published items Sat- urday to the effect that as a sign of the re- turn of prosperity on account of McKinley's election, 500 men would be put to work on the Century Building Monday morning, the promoters of the enterprise having obtained enough money to resume operations. It was good news to hundreds of work- ingmen who have had a hard struggle in keeping ‘the wolf from the door. They and their wives and children were happy Sun- day, for every man that read the item was sure that he could not fail to get em- ployment where 600 were wanted. Long before 7 o’clock Monday morning men, eager for work, began gathering at the Century building. In twos and threes, carrying tools and lunch baskets, they ar- rived and started on a hunt for the indi- viduals who were to do the hiring. Some of the men came from Cheltenham and the northwest and southwest extremes of the city, spending their last cent for car fare. A number came fram Collinsville, Ill., and other surrounding towns. Mechanies of sober, industrious appear- ance predominated. Laborers and un- skilled workingmen were in a minority. There were marble cutters and all kinds of stone artisans, iron workers, carpenters, etc. When the men who are regularly employ- ed at the building arrived at 7 o'clock, they could not start to work. first floor of the building and the ap- proaches on Ninth, Olive and Locus streets were crowded with men who could not believe the report that there was no hiring to be done. Watchmen were direct- ed to clear the premises, and they went vigorously to work. The men who had ex- pected to get employment were _ routed from the building. Persons in the crowd and others employed in the building estimated that there were about 600 men in the place asking for work. Six were hired by she St. Louis Expanded Metal Co. and the others were told that The: entire complexion, blue eyes and a wealth of au- burn hair.

Trannie’s education and social po:ition fitted her for something better than the wife of a detective. Joy was persistent, and met Trannie when- ever opportunity offered. He pleaded with her to elope. She finally consented. She collected a portion of her clothing and her jewels, and one night over a year ago she left home.

He was not a dissipated man and was par- ticularly abstemious Sunday night, taking merely a glass of beer and a sandwich. Shortly after midnight he parted from his friends, remarking to Duane that he would be good and go to bed early. He went at once to his hotel and retired. About 1 o’clock, Miss Kate Burns of the company, occupying the room adjoining, heard Stafford groaning. She knocked at his door, asking if he needed assistance. Just then he called for help and, the door being unlocked, Miss Burns went in, Stafford was in bed. He asked Miss Burns if she had any whisky. ™ As she started towards the door to ring for a boy, foam gathered on the man’s lips and he fell back dead. Dr. E. M. Powers, house physician at the Southern, was summoned, also Dr. Harry D. Kneedler. Dr. Powers expressed the be- lief that death was due to natural causes, which was concurred in by Dr. Kneedler. A short while after the body was removed to Alexander’s undertaking rooms on Olive street. Stafford’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. F, P. Schmit, reside in Chicago. Schmit is a wealthy pork packer. Manager Quinn tele- graphed them Monday morning and was in- structed to have the remains prepared for shipment on the Chicago & Alton at 11:30 o'clock this evening. Mr. and Mrs. Schmit will arrive this evening tc accompany the remains to Chicago. Mabe! Florence, Stafford’s wife, now with Davis & Keogh, New York, was telegraphed to also. Stafford’s stage career began fifteen years ago, when he was about 23 years old. He was a college graduate and had received a thorough course in elocution under Prof. Walter C. Lyman and a dramatic training under various competent teachers, ineluding well known actors. He was im- bued with a desire for histrionic fame. Without waiting to assume smaller roles and laboriously struggle to the top, the ordinary road to theatrical honors, young Schmit at once began starring Shakspear- ean plays. His father had great faith in his ability and backed him. The ambitious young man assumed the name W. W. Stafford, surrounded himself with competent tctors, and continued his venture two or three seasons. Af the end of that time his father had lost about $109,- 000 in his son’s enterprise. He concluded that while his son had genius and was real- ly a great actor, the puuvlic was unapprecia- tive, and did not deserve any further expen- ditures foritsimprovement. He according- ly withdrew.his support. Stafford then contented himse'f with minor parts. He was for a time with Booth and Barrett, and «ix or seven years ago starred in ‘‘The Devil’s Mine.’”’ It was a company formed by him and backed by his father, in the belief that he would command the at- tention of the public in melodrama, where he had failed to do so in the legitimate.

The City Counselor Argues That as the Population Increases Certain Wages Should Be Enlarged. ‘‘We invite expressions from the press and people on the proposition to raise salaries of municipal officers,” said City Counselor Marshall Monday morning. Mr. Marshall suggested the new scale of wages. He argues warmly in support of it. “The present salaries,” he says, “were adopted twenty years ago.
