The misery of the houseless, the unclothed and the hungry rose up like a ghost: before many glowing firésides Tast nikht. ~ a The heart of the big city has been touched. Though the air is bitter. the sunlight of charity lightened wretched homes to-day and brought warmth into hearts that were numb with cold and starvation. There is a great work yet to do. If the cold wave continues and there is little pros- pect of a break for several days the city’s unfortunates will die from hunger and ex- posure. Kel'ef—wholesale relief—must come at once or the horrible mortality list will be- come part of the history of the cold wave. In the tornado district the suffering is heart-rending. The extremity of misery a.tained last May is being repeated in a different form. Hundreds who never before knew the | persons would make it. Forecaster Frank- enfield expects that it will be a shade warm- er by night, with a probability of a light snow, but it will not amount to much, as mh tos cold for that sort of elemental] dis- play. Most of the country is still shivering. Florida is the only State east of the Rockies that can boast of a temperature above the freezing point. Tourists at Jacksonville ar@ luxuriating in an atmosphere around 50 yo Those who happen to be closer to the Keys are of course still warmer. All the Gulf points are cold and as you go north the thermometer scurries toward the bulb. Chicago is rejoicing in minus 14, St. Paul {In minus 24, Cleveland in minus 8, Denver in minus 4, Havre, Mont., tn minus 30, Cincinnati in minus 8, Indianapolis jn minus 12, Pittsburg in minus 6. At all of these points there is a slight rise in the temperature since yesterday at the same hour—7 a. m. The conditions obtaining on the New En- gland Coast are peculiar. The storm which swept out of the West across the Northern lakes,letting in the cold wave in its wake,got over into the Atlantic Ocean by yesterday morning. In consequence New England got a touch of the cold wave. Then, strange to say, the storm got a crick in its neck and came twisting back to land again. As a result the New England tem- perature is much higher to-day. Boston has 20 degrees above. The return of this storm is what is hold- ing the cold wave over us. Had it’ done as almost any decent, self-respecting storm naturally would have done, ciowe on into the ocean and stayed there, our cold wave wwould be galloping East by this time. Instead the storm must come back and butt into the wave. The latter stops and has to fight. It is winning, but ft’s got to Shove that storm clear into the water and out of sight of land before it can spread itself at its normal rate in its normal di- rection. This is a tough job and it will take time. Down around New Mexico there is an- other storm which came piking up from the acific, across Mr. Diaz’ Republic., It’s “laying for’’ a chance to get up into civili- zation, but it can’t move much until the cold wave gets a gait on #t. As soon as the latter moves along the traveler from the Pacific will shove right in behind and bring warmer weather with snow. It is this influence, slight but manifest to weather sharps, that is expected to fur- nish the snow for to-night. If it has good luck ft will be able to do better in a day or two, but it’s got to wait until that pesky storm gets lurched off Plymouth Rock. It is this same storm, of course, down East which has raised the temperature slightly in most parts of the country. SCENES OF DESTITUTION. What Post-Dispatch Reporters Saw in the Homes of the Unfortunate. A Post-Dispatch reporter secured from Tapt. Peter Joyce of the Fourth District and Capt. Edward J. Phillips of the Fifth Dis- trict lists of the really deserving destitute poor in those districts, and then made a personal investigation of a number of the cases. The misery of the poor in the Fourth D‘s- .Jrict seould _not--well -be-overdrawn. What }passes for prosperity in the Fourth is at best a sorry lot, and the unfortunate who has dropped so low as to be regarded as poor by the denizens of the district is poor indeed. The reporter's first call was at 708 Wash street, where on the third floor of a tumble down tenement lives Mrs. Ida Weber. a typical Fourth District unfortunate. The miserably squalid room in which Mrs. Weber and her three children pass their hungry days and cheerless nights is reached by two flights of stairs, the first er and rickety, the second enclosed but in little better con- dition. At the head of the second staircase a plain board door, guiltless of panels and minus a lock, opens abruptly in the room. Through the cracks of the battered door the reporter could catch the occasional note of a plaintive lullaby as he ascended the stairs. As he knocked the singing ceased. The door was opened by a sunny haired terror of exposure to cold are learning for the first time the cruelty of winter. After the terrible d.saster hundreds were unable to seek new homes or obtain money to repair their damaged property. They but wofully frail little woman, apparently 30 years of age. She invited the reporter into the room. , Her pale drawn face swept the room as if looking for something as she said simply, ‘“T have no chair, sr."’ In the bare little Jived through the mild season in tumble- down homes. The cold wave has treated | them mercilessly. Throughout the city the police find the. poor illy prepared for the sudden violence of the elements. The long open scason took | many off their guard who might have bet- | ter prepared themselves winter. Those who are always hopelessly destitute feem to have lost their accustomed in- difference to misfortune. They are unac- climated and the intense cold has brought intense suffering. The police, the Provident Association and the St. Vincent de Paul Society are doing noble work, but the extent of misfortune is more than they are able to cope with. President Scruggs of the Provident Asso- ciation says if the present strain continues and a big influx of aid is not immediately forthcoming the association will have to shut down. Well posted labor leaders know by their records that 6,000 fathers of families, mem- bers of the trades unions, are out of em- ployment and heve been for months. They estimate from this that at the lowest figure there are 30,000 idle men in the city. For those among this number who ere single there are widowed mothers, unable to earn bread for their little ones. This makes at least 2,000 families in want. Thousands among these are people who were in comfortable circumstances until six months ago. Through Jack of employ- ment they have come to want. It is hard for them to bring themselves to ask for eid. They are enduring cold and hunger rather than let the public know of their misfortune. To aid these deserving creatures is the Work of delicate private charity. om Cases of destitution reported by the a those of worthy families.

NAMED. GOV. STEPHENS APPOINTS THE NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS. Police Commissioners Bannerman and Forster Were Favorably Passed on by the State Senate. The State Senate held an executive session Tuesday at Jefferson City, during which the names of James M. Lewis and Anton Stuever were submitted by the Governor as Police Commissioners in St. Louis. The appoint- ments were referred to the proper commit- tee under the rules. Police Commissioners Forster and Bannerman were confirmed. The executive session was prolonged until Jong after the noon hour. It is understood that the length of the session was due to a discussion as to whether the appointments made by Gov. Stone hold good. The dis- cussion was along the line of the Goody- koontz resolution, introduced in the Senate a few days ago relative to the St. Louis police appointments. Gov. Stephens said to a Post-Dispatch correspondent that he found ‘it difficult to decide between several good men who were applicants. It is the general belief that the Governor's appointments of to-day will be confirmed without delay or objection. The appointment of “Tony” Stuever, the Home Brewery man, was no surprise, as he had received assurances from _ reliable sources some days ago that he would get the place. The appointment of Gen. James M. Lewis is in the nature of a surprise. It was known last night that the Governor had decided to appoint him. Gen. Lewis is one of the most able lawyers at the St. Louis bar, and his name had not been dreamed of by the politi- cal gossips in the make-up of the new police board. The confirmation of the appointments of Maj. Bannerman and Dr. Otto Forster had been decided upon by the State Senate com- mittee in conference last week, as was stated at the time in the Post-Dispatch.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. %.—The Avery fellow-servant bill was passed by the House this morning. The vote stood.127 for and 1 against. Representative Walms- ley of Kansas City cast the one negative vote. " The fact that only one vote was cast against the bill created considerable com- ment, and everybody turned their eyes in the direction of Representative Walmsley.

Special tu the Post-Dispatch. W ASHING TON, D.-C., Jan. %.-—-Maj. Me- Kinley’e Washington contingent of assist- ant Cabinet makers are having much amusement over the ‘“‘mention’’ of David R. Francis as his own successor in the Inter- ior Department. They say that as the gold Democrats of Missouri polled about 2,000 votes in the en- tire State, they are entit.ed to some “‘recog- nition.’’ They will not admit, however, that the 2,000 votes thus diverted from the Democratic ticket are worth a Cabinet po- sition. The best they will concede is a “Captain of the Watch". or a messenger in one of the departments, GHASTLY ACCIDENT. A Steel Mill Employe Had His Head Cut Off. JOLIET, IUl., Jan. 26.—An unparalleled ac- cident occurred at the Illinois Steel Co.'s plant, whereby Neison Jchnson was decap- itated. He was employed in the rod mill and in falling from a high platform his head came in contact with the edge of the platform and the connecting rod of the en- gine, cutting off his head at the neck. The first his fellow-employes knew of the accident was the head tumbling into their midst, the eyes yet moving and the tongue drawing into the mouth.

James Kelley killed himself in the de- testives’ room at the Four Courts at 12:46 o'clock Tuesday. He was sitting beside Detective George W. Badger when, without warning, he drew a small pearl-handled knife and thrust it into the left side of his throat. The gush of blood epattering his desk was the first intimation the detective had that the man had wounded himself. He fell to the floor and blood spurted in a stream from the wound tn his neck, The blood formed a great pool on the linoleum covered floor, completely surrounding the dying man’s body. nec — CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. final passage there was no discussion. As told in the Post-Dispatch yesterday, all at- tempts to load the bill with amendments fell flat, and the bill was passed without any amendment whatever. The Avery bill is the same as the Steel _ bill, which attracted so much attention two years ago. THE HOUSE. Debate on the Propasition to Abolish Normal Schools. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

The big new freight house of the Big Four Vine in Fast St. Louis caught fire shortly after 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, The fire was discovered under the plat- form by one of the freight handlers, It had already gained a good deal of head- way, having consumed a long stretch of underpMining under the platforms before it was discovered. An alarm was turned in at once and the East St. Louis Fire Department turned wut, The fire had spread by the time a stream was turned on it and at 2:30 it looked as ‘f the entire building would go. The freight shed was a temporary one, erected after the destruction of the original freight house by the tornado. The building is one block south’ of the bridge. It is a frame structure two ind one-half stories high. It is only a short distance from the Waters-Pierce Oil Uo.’s plant. At 2:25 the St. Louis Fire Department | was called on for assistance. The fire is supposed to have been caused by an overheated furnace. The fires were banked and were thought to have gone out about 11 o'clock, but were found .burning afier the blaze started. The fire caused a good deal of excitement on account of its proximity to the oil com- pany’s plant. The station proper is 50 by 1500 feet. Be- hind it are a number of frame warchouses, also owned by the Big Four. On account of the high wind and the cold weather it is feared the conflagration will spread over @ great portion of the island. THE CITY’S POOR. _ CONTINUED.

Capt. Peter Joyce of the Fourth District has done heroic work in looking after the wants of the poor in his district. He has distributed donations left wth him piomptly and judiciously. Still he has been unable to relieve a fourth of the ac- tual suffering. “If the weather remains cold we will need a great deal of assistance from the pub- lic,”’ said he Tuesday. IN THE TORNADO DISTRICT. Muny Victims of the Late Disaster Homeless and Starving. The suffering in the Second and Third D's- tricts is intense. The police, with the lim- ited means at their command, are giving all the relief possible, but is 1s practically im- possible to mitigate the suffering for any length of time. A meal here, a small sup- ' ply af fuel or clothing there, is all that can e done. The charitable institutions are taxed to their utmost, buf with the con- tinuance of the cold wave, the demand for assistancé far exceeds the means at their disposal. Particularly is this true of the Third Dts- trict, which bore the brunt of thé tornado. People who wete well to do before the storm, living 1 tomfdrtable homes, are not infre- quent applicants for assistance. Their prep- erty, Was mostly uninsured, and no means 4 e obtained to make suitable re- pairs.

At n'ght buildings partially wrecked by the wind af- ford sheiter to many who are loath to lodge in a station house. Cellars and empty boxes shélter many from the bitter cold. In the tenement district, a roof frequently is the only guard against the severe weat%er. In some instances the police have found no stoves, and a pile of rags in a corner constitute the bedding. Wide crevices in walls and around the windows admit the coldest blasts, often driving the inmates to the district stations for protection. Monday night 170 persons were housed in the Second and Third District Station- houses. These were all men and boys, a majority of them working people out of em- Joyment, The number of professional ums protected. since,the advent of the ' cold snap could be numbered on the fingers i If you really . think {t will do us any good you may write | s0Omething about me, not on my account but fcr the children.”’ Just beneath Mrs. Samos live Wm.

Dr. Edgar Thompson hurriedly cut the man’s clothing and made an examination. Kelly breathed once or twice after he was received at the Dispensary and then was pronounced dead. The detectives did not know Kelley. At 12:30 o’clock he entered Chief of De- tectives Desmond’s office just as that offi- cial’ was going to lunch. He told the Chief that his name was James Kelley and that he wanted to give himself up. Mr. Desmond did not stop to investigate, but turned Keiley over to Detective Badger, who was making out a report in the room adjoining the Chief's private office. The Chief stmply told Badger that Kelley wanted to give himself up. Badger glanced at the man and told him to be seated. He would attend to him in a few minutes. Kelley had not been in the room five minutes when he killed himself. . The knife he used was a small] one with. pearl handle. The blade was not longer: han two inches. When the detective saw him the knife was sticking in his neck. Kelley evidently knew how to inflict the blow. He made a small incision on the left side of his neck. The gash was not longer than one inch, but it was sufficient to sever both the jugular and cartoid veins. Kelley was about 3 years old. He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and of medium build. He had short, dark hair and a small blonde mustache. He wore a heavy dark blue coat and vest and light colored striped trousers. He wore a white shirt, standing collar, black silk necktie and knit underwear. His hat was a drab Fedora. He was an intelligent appearing man and did not have the appearance of a criminal. His clothing was searched at the Dispen- sary, but there were no papers nor marks on his clothing to ar ae him, The body was taken to the Morgue. At 2:30 o’clock F. L. Lowther of Fulton, Mo., read the article in the Post-Dispatch. He went at once to the morgue and identified the suicide as James C. Kelley, a traveling salesman for Smith Bros. & Co., shoe deal- ers of New Orleans, La, and he said Kel- ley had been boarding at Hotel St. Louis, Fourth and Locust streets, for a month ast. He had been drinking heavily. Two days ago his brother sent him $25. Lawther saw Foley Monday and he complained of feel- ing despondent. GROSYENOR TALKS.

JCNES’ j é A THIEF FOR A WITNESS. Detective Shelby and Other Witnesses Say the City Was Never So Free of Gambling. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.—The House committee appointed by the General Assem- bly to Investigate the police and election departments of Kansas City took an ad- journment last night until Friday morning, the 28th mst. The committee went to Jef- ferson City last night as some of its mem- bers have important legislation of interest to their counties which it is expected will be disposed of within the next few days. The last day of the committee's labors was marked with several sefisational instances. Frank M. Lowe, Prosecuting Attorney, ap- peared before the committee after an attach- ment had been issued for him, but refused arbitrarily to testify. His treatment of the committee was disrespectful in the extreme. Ed Findlay had been subpoenaed and was examined by the committee for an hour and a half. Mayor James M. Jones, who has assumed charge of the prosecution of the charges against the Police Department, cross-examined Findlay at length and Rep- resentative Clymer also took an active part in the examination of this witness. There is much discussion to-day as to the probable action of the Legislature on the refusal of Prosecutor Lowe to answer «J questions pertinent to the inquiry now oing on. It is claimed by ¢g lawyers hat he is clearly in contempt and that the adjournment of the committee was for the purpose of bringing this matter to the attention of the General Assembly to-day. It appears to be a case where there are no precedents in this State to govern it. It has been suggested that the House In- vestigating Committee, having been appoint- ed by the law-making branch of the State Government, is invested with all the powers ‘of the General Assembly itself and that it has the power not only to compel the at- tendafice of witnesses but to commit recalci- trant witnesses for a term of imprison- ment. It is expected that a report of the facts will be made to the Legslature to- day by Chairman Pope and that the House will take action in the premises. Senator Lyons, who first made the public charges against the Police Commissioners in the resolution introduced by him in the Senate, also failed to respond as a wit- ness. Chairman Pope stated to the com- mittee at yesterday's session that he had poenenns notified Senator Lyons in the enate Chamber at Jefferson City that the committee wanted his testimony on Friday or Saturday and thatethe Senator had as- sured him that no subpoena was necessary, but that he would report to the committee on Saturday for the prsgers of testifying. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the committee went to Jefferson City on Saturday, but was unable to find Lyons there and all neon a to locate him in this city also proved utile. . Among the first witnesses examined yes- terday was a young negro named Jim Tay- lor, who was called to the stand by Mayor Jones. He testified that he had bought a policy ticket in the rear of 331 West Sixth street from a colored man who was run- ning a policy shop at that number. Be- fore the negro was introduced as a wit- ness the Mayor said with great impressive- ness, “‘Here is a policy ticket bought in this city within one hour. I will prove that Ed Findlay tis openly conducting policy Zamee while this investigation is going oO ‘f Upon cross-examination the negro stated that John Harvey, another negro, who is one of the janitors in the City Hall, had sent him to buy the ticket. City Detective Jo O. Shelby, son of United Siates Marshal Shelby, testified during the afternoon session of the committee that he had visited No, 331 West Sixth street, that no policy shop existed there, that it was a coal office conducted by D. E. Johnson. De- tective Shelby stated that he ey been a member of the police departmént fo the por 18 months, and that there had never een any discrimination by the police in sup cage | the gambling evil. ‘Detective Shelby said: “When I was appointed a detective the orders given by Chief of Police Irwin were to bre up gambling wherever found. In- epector Flahive, wh acting as Chief of olice, after the death of Col. Irwin, gave similar orders, and Chief of Police Julian had especially urged upon the members of the force that gambling must be suppressed in Kansas City,” The testimony of Detective Shelby | Was earnest and apparently sincere, and seemed to impress the committee. Mayor Jones tried during a severe cross-examina- tion fo shake the €orce of this testimony, but signaily failed. D. E. Johnson, coal dealer at 331 West Sixth street, appeared and denounced the story that a policy game was running upon his premises as a lie. He said that he was present at his place of business during the forenoon, and that he knew that the Eis Age had deliberately perjured If. t developed from an examina- tion of the lice records that Taylor had a long record as a sneak thief and haa been yor Jones acting as police judge, had sentenced him for stealing.

Washingtoh inaugural ball committee: display and pleasure when there are mi and medical attention. The President-Elect Suggests That Money Intended for the Inaugural Ball Be Given in Charity. ° The following letter has been written by President-elect McKinley to the CANTON, O., Jan. 23, 1897.—Inaugural Committee, Washington, D. C.—GentTe- men: It has come to my knowledge that you propose to expend something like $50,000 for what is known as the inaugural ball, to be held on the evening fol- lowing my inauguration. While I appreciate fully the spirit that has prompted you to project a ceremonial of such magnitude, allow me to say, with the sincere hope that I will not be misunderstood, that it is unbearable for me to think of such a vast amount of money being devoted to no more substantial purpose than ilions of our brethren throughout the world actually suffering, starving, dying from the lack of food, clothing, shelter I beg of you, then, if your desire is to arrange an observance of inauguration day that will be well pleasing to me, and give impressivemess to the event, that you abandon your pretentious plans for the ball, and, with the approval of the citizens who have subscribed the money , devote $25,000 to the organized allevia- tion of wretchedness in the great cities of the United States, $10,000 to provide food and shelter for the persecuted Armenians of Turkey, and $15,000 to relieve the horrors of plague and famine in India. Hoping that you will share my v:ews of the mannerin which the funds can be applied with the most gratifying results to our people and with the greatest credit to our impulses as a Christian na- tion, I seriously and earnestly solicit your participation in this act of sacrifice and self-forgetfulness, Iam, gentlemen cordially, WILLIAM McKINLEY. , yours very never spoken to him haif a dozen times in my life. “Public gambling has been broken up in Kansas City since the fall of 1894,"’ said he; ‘they have chased us like rabbits.”’ He also testified that he had lived in Chi- cago during 1893, during the World’s Fair, but that he owned property in Kansas City and came back some times once a week. “ owned a gambling house on Missouri ave- nue, south side, between Delaware and Main, in 1893, and I ran unmolested for eighteen months, Wiley O. Cox and Bernard Corri- n were Police Commssioners at the time. know from hearsay that Gus Baughman and others have since started gambling houses in Kansas City, in out of the way places, in basement rooms, in alleys and on the third floors of buildings in the business part of town, but they have been raided by the police and closed up, There were more raids while L. E. Irwin was Chief of Police than at any time in ten years.”’ Findlay replied to a question and denied that he was ever associated with Bean, that he (Bean) was a “yellow dog sport” and not a true gambler. He said further that the darky who testified in the forenoon that he had bought a policy ticket on West Sixta street was put up to it by Politician Shan- non, who runs a dive in that neighborhood, The cross-examination of Findlay by Mayor Jones was interesting, but brought out no new facts relevant to the matier under investigation. It is a noteworthy standing the House Committee has_ sum- moned every witness requested by Editor Nelson and Mayor Jones not a single per- son has testified to the existence of public gambling in Kansas City during the term of the present Police Commissioners, or that the Commissioners or any member of the Police Department were in collusion with any gambling. The evidence has dis- closed the fact that whenever gambl'ng had been attempted the places were prompt- ly raided by the police and closed up. | It is expected that the “Senate Commit- tee, composed of Senators Morton, Orchard and Gray, will begin its investigation Thurs-' day morning next. The friends of Chief Julian claim that the railroad corporations are secretly aiding in the fight against him on account of his unswerving advocacy of remedial railroad legislation during his two terms as a mem- ber of the State Legislature. Col. L. H. Waters is quoted in an inter- view published last night as follows: “‘Be- fore this investigation is over I will show the anfmus of this whole matter. I will prove that Bill Phelps prepared the resolu- tion introduced in the Senate and that Sen- ator Lyons was only a stool pigeon for him. Testimony will be adduced to prove that Phelps has made his threats against Chief of Police Julian for introducing the fellow poy bang bill at the last session of the Legis- ature.”’ Eex-State Senator Lyman and others identi-| fied with the railroad lobby are aiding in this fight. TWO COMMITTEES. fact that notwith- Both Will Go to Kansas City on Thurs- day. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 26.—The House committee appointed to investigate alleged crookedness in Kansas City police affairs returned to the capital on one of the fate trains last night. The work of investigation is not yet completed and the committee will return to Kansas City about Thursday of this week. The Senate Investigating Committee held a meeting last night at which it was decided to go to Kansas City Thursday afternoon. The interesting feature cf this is that both committees will be at work simultaneously. SAYS HE’S NO KIDNAPPER. Detective Charles Hunn Denies Steal- ing Mrs. Brown’s Boy. While the deputy sheriffs were looking for Private Detective Charles Hunn, against whom a warrant for Kidnapping was issued Monday, as announced exclusively in a late edition of the. Post-Dispatch, Hunn visited the office of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson Tuesday and talked over his case. The deputy sheriffs are still looking for Hunn, and he is making no attempts to elude them. The warrant charges Hunn with kidnap- ing 10-year-old Julius William Browg from the home of his mother, Mrs. Emma Brown, of 1325 Chestnut street, New Year’s night. Hunn told the Assistant Prosecutor that he had nothing to do with the boy’s disap- pearance. “I have known the Browns for a long time,” said Hunn. “I knew them when they lived in Chicago, before they separ- a Brown had good occasion to 1#ve her. Her maiden name was McLaughlin, and Joe True, the Home Brewery robber, is her son. He gave the name McLaughlin when he was arrested. “Mrs. Brown kept a rooming house on Chestnut street, and I occasionally called on her. I was there New Year's night, when the boy disappeared. I gave him a dime to buy paper caps with. This was done to get the boy out of the house for a while. I did agate that he had gone for several ays. “I met Brown on the street here a few days ago. He told me he. had the boy and intended to keep him. Brown said he 3 located at Rock Hill, near Barthoid, Mo., and had had possession of the boy ever since New Year's night.” DELINQUENT RUM-SELLERS. Police Prosecution Begun Against Un- licensed Vendors of Liqucr. The police prosecution of the delinquent saloonkeepers began in Police Court Tues- day morning, when 14 proprietors were called to explain why they had not pa their licenses. ° Four of the proprietors summoned had paid after the summons had been issued, and the cases were nollie prosequied, They were August Mailgren of the Morgan C! John Euverle, John T. Allwest aha Jone Schmidt. The other proprietors summoned, whose cases were continued to Jan. 2. were: J. J.

The Room Caught Fire and the Flames Scorched Him While He Lay in a Stupor. John Lingeman came near burning to death in bed in his room at 1426 Heber street carly Tuesday morning. ' Lingeman had been out all Monday night drinking. It was about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning when he returned and went to bed. There was a fire in his room and he left a light burning. Lingeman occupiéd three rooms on the second floor at 142% Hebert street. He had been in bed but a short time when fire broke out in the room. The room filled with smoke, but Lingeman slept on. The smoke almost suffocated him, but he was so thoroughly under the influence of liquor that he did not know the house was on fire. The flames spread and ignited the bed on which Lingeman slept. His coughs and groans, which failed to break his stupor, awakened the family on the lower floor. They rushed upstairs to ascertain the trou- ble. When the door was broken open the entire room was a mass of flames. Lingeman was lying crosswise of the bed surrounded by fire. He was picked up unconscious and car- ried from the room. An alarm was sounded and Engine Campany No. 19 responded promptly. The fire was extingu'shed before it spread to any other part of the house. Lingeman was taken in an ambulance to the City Hospital. Heis frightfully burned about the head and body. His injuries may prove fatal. Léngeman is a carpenter, 40 years old, and lives alone. He is a widower. His wife died three years ago and his four children have been placed in orphan asylums. It is not known how the fire originated. The damage to the house was $50 and the same amount to the furniture. NEW CITY COMMITTEE. Getting in Shape to Organize and Be- gin the Campaign. Charles D. McClure, Col. M. C. Wetmore and Col. Ed Devoy are mentioned for chair- man of the newly constituted Democratic City Committee of Sixty-five. They are among the nine members-at-large appointed by the State Committee. } It is generally admitted that the Chair- man and the treasurer of the new commit- tee should be eelected from the nine-at- large. Everybody seems to have picked out Harrison I. Drummond for treasurer. He will, no doubt, be elected. The twenty-eight members of the old City Committee are dallying with the name of Dr. . V. L. Brokaw for chairman. The Doctor represents the Twentieth Ward on the old committee. Given Campbell, Peter J. Pauley and Henry J. Spaunhorst are mentioned for Vice-President. They are among the eelect nine, The old City Committeemen will ask for recognition of some kind. The Secretary and the bay ae © eam will perhaps be given them. . C. Maroney of the Twentieth Ward and William J. Tucker of the Thir- teenth Ward are almost unanimously fav- ored for Secretary and Sergeant-at-arms, respectively, by the old committee. There may be new candidates epring be- fore the meeting next Friday, when the new committee will elect officers and or- anize. . eThe old City Committee held its last meet- ing last night. pws 6 fifteen members were present—just enough for a quorum. Robert Fox, Twenty-fifth Ward, presided. The committee heard the report of A. C. Maroney, Chairman of the sub-committee of five, which aase appointed to confer last Friday with Chairman Cook and the State Committee about a plan of precinct organ- ization. The adopted plan was reported, and the City Committee, as a whole, voted to acquiese in it. This meeting was simply a formal one, to allow the old committee to adopt legally the precinct plan agreed upon with the State Committee. This action will be reported to State Chairman Cook and the old City Committee of twenty-elght will then be swallowed by the big committee of sixty- ve. Although the old City Committee was, pormape, holding its last official meetin ast night, there was no ar of fuereal col- emnity among the members. Everybody was jolly and confident that the new precinct lan would rejuvenate the party and place t in good fighting condition for the spr.ng campaign. SUES ON A NOTE.

SEVERAL FIREMEN INJURED. John Wanamaker’s Great Store Caught . Fire and Was Damaged to Some Extent. ——— PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 2%.—The most disastrous conflagration that has visited this city in recent years broke out early this morning in the rear of the basement of the big grocery store of Hanscom Bros., 1317 Market street, and before the flames were got ‘under control property amount- ing in value to $2,500,000 or more had been destroyed. The flames were first discovered by John Wagner, a reserve policeman, who was passing the big building at 6:50 o’clock. He immediately turned in an alarm. Before the engines reached the scene the entire rear portion of Hanscom & Dennett's big restaurant was ablaze. A second alarm was sent in and a few mo- ments later a general alarm was sounded. immediately adjoining Hunscom Bros, on the west was the five-story building occupied by Blum Bros., manufacturers of ladies’ cloaks. The flames spread with almost lightning rapidity and Blum Bros.’ building was soon a mass of flames. The water seemed almost to freeze before it touched the buildings, so bitter cold was the weather. The next building to the west to be eaten up was that occupied by George Marshall, as a restaurant; then came the hat manu- ufactory of George B. Wells at 1323 and the rear of the wholesale grocery of Shotwell & Fryer at 1325 Market street. While the flames were sweeping west on Market s‘reet, the umbrella manufactory of Hirach Bros., the largest tn the world, which adjoined the restaurant, caught fire. The inflammable nature of the immense stock of light silks added fuel to the flames, and in half an hour the building, extend ng street, was a mass of flames, On the east of the Hirsch building, be- tween 1309 and 1311 Market, were the Mizpah restaurant, 1307; Sterner & Ball, cigar fac- tory, 1306: A. Nickolacky, 1306, confection- ery, and the big drug store of H. Hillman, at 13u1, the upper story of which was occupied by Potter Bros. as a photograph gallery. On the north side of Hirsch Bros., im- mediately across the street, stood the new seven-story building of Dunlap Brothers. This building extended from 1306 to 1310 Fil- bert street, and was 10 feet deep. The first floors were occupied by the Collins Carriage Company. he flames swept through this structure and gutted it com- pletely. ; The small buildings on Silver street, which runs west from Thirteenth to Juni- per, were all gutted, The shop of Con- tractor Lewis Havens caught fire from the rear of Blum Brothers and three firemen were caught by a falling wall. Frank Bg of Engine Company No, 30 was the only man seriously injyred. At 8:15 a. m. fire was discovered in the tower of John Wanamnrker’s big dry goods store. . 1,096, 193.24 410,793.31 3,582, 301.09 2,041,970.20 2,425,932.61 4, 330, 268.30 Taxes, salaries, 3,736,714.26 Disbursements. ........ ...-.-$30,004,422.01 ASSURANCE.

Notorious Pickpocket Wanted in Cin- cinnati for Highway Robbery. John Foley, alias Kid Foley, alias Foley the Goat, one of the most notorious pro- fessional pickpockets in the country, was arrested by Detectives Anderson and Mc- Grath at Seventh and Pine streets at 11 o’clock Monday night. He is wanted in Cincinnat! for attempted highway robbery on at least a dozen counts. While Steve Brodie was in Cincinnati Fo- ley and two pals attempted to «natch a valuable diamond pin from the bridge Jump- er’s shirt frunt. rodie put up a fight, and, the police appearing, the highwaymen too to their heels. ' Foley and his g have been as much of a terror in Cincinnati as the “tall man and the short man” in Chicago. More than 4 dozen hold-ups have occurred ia that city recently, all of which are attributed to Foley and his gang. A week the Cincinnati authorities wired Chief mond to look out for Foley. He left that city and it was thought he had gone to St. vis. Foley arrived here Sunday, and is now In the holdover awaiting the officers from Cincinnati. : Chief of Detectives Desmond Jronsiders Foley one of the most dangerous Pickpock- ets that ever worked 8t. uis. Foley is educated, intelligent and bold. While he has been mixed up in crime in this city had his pic last time he went up for six months for picking a man’s pocket at a funeral. Foley says he will not return to Cincin- nati wmhout requistion papers, the papers cannot be obtained unless they can prove something on him.

And his other conclu- sion, that, while Illinois’ was probably carried for McKinley by a small majority of the legal vote of the State, fully 100,000 illegal votes were polled there, is equally true, ‘ As to States like California and Kem tucky, it is clear, in view of the system- atic frauds with which Mark Hanna snatched vietory from defeat, that the unprecedented delays in the receipt of official returns from those States arose from corruption of election officers and falsification in the count. There is little doubt that Bryan was the choice of the people for President. We have made the corruption of legal voters difficult, but the corruption of reg- istration, election and canvassing officials is still too easy. —_— A WISE COURSE. It is to be hoped that the dispatch from Jefferson City in Monday’s Post-Dispatch, foreshadowing a change in the attitude of the railroad interests towards the Fel- low Servant bill, will turn out to be cor- rect. It is already evident that the bill will pass the House by an overwhelming majority, in spite of any opposition the Lobby can muster. It might be hung up for a while in the Senate and perhaps amended into innocuous desuetude, but the pressure upon the obstructive Demo cratic Senators would be tremendous, and at the end a satisfactory bill would be passed, or the political cemetery would contain an additional number of new- made graves. The usual attempt on the part of the railroad lobby to defeat this bill would arouse intense feeling at Jefferson City and throughout the State. And under pressure.of this feeling, legislation might be pushed through that would not other- wise be enacted and that would be far more damaging to the railroad interests than even the most stringent Fellow Ser- vant law. With the placing upon the statute books of either the Avery or the Whitecotton Fellow Servant bill, the demands of pub- lic opinion would be substantially met. It is doubtful if any other anti-railroad jegislation could muster the necessary support. None of this legislation can be otten through both Houses unless it is acked by a strong popular demand, and especially by the laboring interests of the State. The part of wisdom for the rail- road interests is to appease public opinion by gracefully yielding to its reasonable demands, thus affording no excuse for more radical legislation. iit The Post-Dispatch’sS news from Jeffer- son City seems to indicate that Col. Phelps will not again lead the fight against a Fellow Servant bill. And the Post-Dispatch will not be suspected of intending to flatter Col. Phelps when it says that without his personal and ex- perienced leadership on the ground at Jefferson City, the fight against the Fel- low Servant bill would be hopeless, even in the Senate. , Se WORK FOR THE CONVICTS. ° The bill introduced by Representativ: Russell of New Madrid County for the employment of idle convicts in draining and reclaiming swamp lands in South*- east Missouri has much to commend it, This work' would not compete with other labor, because it is not likely that these lands will be reclaimed for many years unless by convict labor. Of course the section benefited ought to bear the principal cost of such an im- provement, and it is to be presumed that the Russell bill provides for this. The State could well afford tu pay part of the cost, as there is doubtless much State land subject to homesteading that would become available for settlement if drain- age canals were cut and levees built where needed. If the bill becomes law, the State authorities should be especially careful in selecting contractors to manage the drainage work and care for the convicts while engaged at jt. In Florida and other States where the system of con- tracting convicts out on turpentine and other farms is in vogue, great evils have run riot because unprincipled, brutal con- tractors have been allowed to take charge of convicts. Under such circumstances many of the worst conditions of Siberian convict life have been copied, and incidents have oc- curred that were a disgrace to civiliza tion. —s * y ——-_----—— *¢ — -—--__—_ KILL THE PEERS BILL. A casual reading of Senator Peers’ bill to reorganize the Missouri militia fails tc disclose any reason why it has been in- troduced, Unless the reason js conceale in some clause of the measure, to be dis- closed by further and closer examination, the bill is one out of which the enacting clause might as well be stricken. The Republic urges the passage of the bill because “it offers the Legislature an opportunity to at least place the militia on a sound legal basis.”” The militia is “on a sound legal Dasis’’ now and has been for some years. All the powers which the State can confer upon it have been already conferred and the inhibi- tion of private bodies of militia is as strong in the existing law as it has been made in the Peers bill or could be made in any new law. There is no necessity for the passage of the Peers bill. What it aims at-is larger militia appropriations, and real- izing the hopelessness of such appropria- tions by the Missouri Legislature, its authors propose to authorize communities to levy taxes for the building of drill halls, armories and headquarters. Uni- forms and arms are furnished by the Federal Government. It is doubtless hoped, in this way, to increase the militia forces in Kansas City and St. Louis, where corporate wealth. is most in dread and where it feels itself most in need of mili force, The de- gree of control exe ed over the labor vote in the laté election leads to the hopr that the two cities might be persuaded or coerced into voting a war tax for the purpose of maintaining a standing army to do police duty for the corporations. . The hope is doubtless futile, The work- ingmer of Kansas City and Missouri arc still free. If not, property right and in- terest. would defeat the tax. But the place to defeat it, once for all, is at Jef. ferson City. . — = Pe i — —_ — In the packed street car the width of the conductor is a serious matter.

RE ERE RIP Sy 3158 Sg 5 Chairman Lee of the House Committee on Internal Improvements lost his tem- per the other day in referring to the Post- Dispatch, but that shall not prevent the Post-Dispatch, as an honest and fair pub- lic journal, from doifig him justice. His Servant bill since it came before his com- mittee has allayed any suspicion that was aroused by his proposed amendment tend- ing to make the bill general, and his able and energetic management of the bill in the committee and on the floor of the House has aided greatly in insuring its early enactment into law. —, —_- It was Mrs. Cleveland, and not Mr. Cleveland, .who went out when the Ha- waiian Queefl called: Lilioukalani has not failed in her determination to see the President, little as she could gain by an interview.

From the New York Press. Love is a disease and marriage is gener- ally its best anti-toxin. When a gir! is 20 she writes love with an exclamation point; when she’s 30 she uses ‘a question mark. A girl may assert that she has never been kissed, but she will never admit that no man ever tried -to. When a woman says something mean about a man, she always says: “I like him, you know: if I didn’t like him so well I wouldn't say that.” If a man doesn’t kigs his wife when he leaves her in the morning she thinks he doesn’t love her; if he does, she thinks he feels good to be getting away. The Bradley Martin Ball. From the New York Press. The Bradley Martins stand at the pin- nacle of New York society. They possess abundant wealth to give the finest ball known to history, and have legions of friends who would like to be there to enjoy the fun. These friends would not need- lessly ‘hurt the feelings of Dr. Rainsford, but they will go to the ball. Afterward they may repent. ° An Engaging Occupation.

The Philadelphia papers say that no other Mayor in the United States has offices so handsome and luxurious as those of the Mayor of Philadelphia. Sir Francis Drake's last male descend- ant has died at the age of 89 in the Bristol almshouse, of which he had been an in- mate for many years. His father fought at Trafalgar. Bjornsterne Bjornson, whose son married Ibsen's daughter, speaks thus of the dra- matist’s pessimism: ‘Ibsen is no Norwe- gian. His ancestors were Scotch, as might be seen from his Calvinistic beliefs and his gloomy views of men and life. It is a la- mentable fact for the Norwegians, but pes- simism has been broyght into Norway by a foreigner.”’ Joaquin Miller has been in New Orleans recently, grizzled and gray, but as young in the eyes “as a twenty-year-old youth flushed with the victories of a patient muse,”’ so the reporter puts it. The aged poet said he had no money and cared for none, ‘but found in nature refreshment for body and mind. “It is a life among the solitudes that tinges a man’s aims with sentiment and gives to his soul a light that sordid ambition either drives away or makes impossible,’’ said Joaquin. Prince Troubetzkoy, the young Russian painter who married Amelie Rives a few months ago, spends his time between Lon- don, Paris and New York. He painted sev- eral portraits for the famous English “Book of Beauty,’’ and Gladstone, Lord Dufferin and George Meredith have also been among his sitters. He stands. over six feet two in his stockings, is a fine ath- lete, and is now in his thirty-second year. He is a half American, his mother, having been Miss Winans of New York. Dr. Ahlwardt, who spent some months in America upon an unsuccessful lecturing tour, recently caused it to be announced that he was about to return to Berlin, but he has not yet arrived there. It was also said that he had sent his wife the sum of 630 marks during his absence, but this re- port is denied by Frau Ahlwardt, who, ac- cording to a Berlin @ispatch, declares that her husband left her and their children des- titute, and has not contributed a penny to their support since he went away. WOMEN OF NOTE. ‘The Baroness Burdett-Coutts has pre- sented Sir Henry Irving with the identical ring worn by David Garrick when he played the part of Richard III. Helen Gould is about building a home for aged women, to supplement one already built for crippled children, Philanthropy might well love to build its nest among the Gould millions. Miss Florence Pierce of Philadelphia, who thas been appointed to a position in Boston’s public library, has been doing literary work at Bryn Mawr. After having to write “Bryn Mawr’ all the time, it must be a great relief to have to write simply “Bostén.”’ . . It is reported that a remarkable revival work is going on in Northern Wisconsin. The work is conducted by a Miss Sang- staed, who avoids towns and churches and holds her meetings in country’ school- houses. She is pronounced “a veritable John the Baptist.”’ On Jan. 23 Mrs. John Alexander celebrated the 99th anniversary of he birthday at her home in West Charlton, Saratoga County, N. Y. She was born in the adjoining town of Galway. Mrs. Alexander hag never rid- den on a railroad train, and though she lives within ten miles of a railroad track, she has but once viewed a train of cars in motion... She is in excellent health and pos- sesses all her faculties. GLOOM CHASERS. Asking Too Much.—She: Now that we are engaged, I want you to kiss mother when she comes in. He: Let's break the engage- ment,.—Judge. : “Pshaw, you don’t know nuthin’,” said little Tommy Toodlemacker, scornfully. “There never was a man with a blue beard.” “Well,” said Susie Heffelfinger, “‘my papa knows @ man with lilac whiskers—so now!” —Washington Times. Mr. Mann: Carrie, I have had my life insured for $10,000 to-day. Mrs. Mann: How good of you! Now, there’s nothing to pre- vent.our taking that trip*to Europe next summer, is there?

The boy whose business it wad to answer the telephone rushed into the room of the senior partner. “Just got a message say- ing that your house was on fire,” he said. “Dear me!” returned the senior partner, in a bewildered sort of way. “I knew my wife was pretty hot about something when I left home this morning, but I didn’t think it was so bad as all that.”"—Chicago Post. ' 3 # “Shore Acres” may be seen many times and its power to touch the chords of glad- ness and Will not be exhausted: Mr. James A. Herne wrote the play and is producing it with the leading character | role on his own shoulders. As an author Mr. Herne hag shown something of Sar- dou’s insight into human motives and a touch of Howells’ gift for homely realism. There is a love story in the play, but it is a bare excuse for the introduction of @ series of pictures of people and their en- vironments on the coast of Maine. local color is vivid and insistent, but it Is relieved at intervals by injections of the undefiled humanity peculiar to chil- dren. And such children as Mr. Herne has managed to get into his company have never before been seen in the glare of the footlights. It is not possible that little Edith Taliaferro and little Gladys Crolius know they are acting. If they 4id they would be prodigies, and mo prodigy was ever so humanly lovable as these tots. There are twenty-seven persons in the cast and they are almost without exception types indigenous to the bleak New England coast, where life is hard and civilization is inherently puritanical. Nathaniel Berry is an ideal, but entirely possible, for the al- most superhuman goodness of his heart is balanced by a vanity that is just irritating enough in its littleness to bring out in sharp contrast the greatness of his soul, He is what the New England housewife would call a “Hen Hugzy.”” He potters about the kitchen acting as chief cook and requiring the assistance of all the women in preparing a meal and he refers to his career as a soldier often enough to dem- onstrate that he is proud of:it. That he should agsist his brother’s daughter to elope with a man suspected of crime, whom he knows to be ‘innecent but hasn't the daring to stand up for openly, is consistent with the character; and that he should trust to the honor of the young man and the wisdom of the gir] to find a preacher soon, shows his knowledge of human na- ture—men and women are not as black as the wicked would have us think. That he has physical courage is demonstrated in the thrilling lighthouse scene, where he fights his brother to save the lovers froin death, and that he has a slightly malicious humor is brought out by his sly digs at the brother’s failure as a boomer. Every part in the play is in competent hands and although Mr. Herne is in the center of the stage almost continuously, he gets only a share of the attention. As a produotion “Shore Acres’ probably excels im realism anything now being presented on the stage. A real turkey is served at a dinner and is eaten in full view of the audience. That is only one of the many realistic de- tails with which Mr. Herne ts on his play. But he really should rebuke his property man for ringing in an up-to-date needle gun to do duty as a musket usea by a veteran of the late war. “Shore Acres”’ will run through the week at the Century. —o-——.

W. J. Bryan's book, have gone to press, and the publish- ere expect to have the first copy bound in about a week. The book embodies a story of the campaign of 1896, its important events and issues, and inciudes the most note- worthy incidents of Mr. Bryan's famous tour. It also contains the pr.ncipa] addresses and documents relat.ng to the silver move- ment and some of Mr. Bryan's speeches, Considerable space is given to his connec- tion with the silver agitation while in Con- gress and prior to the Chicago convent:on, and to a discussion of the election returns and an analys.s of the politica] s.tuation. One of the interesting features of the book is the biographical sketch, written by Mrs. Bryan, who thus describes their first meeting: “My first knowledge of Mr. Bryan dates from September, 1879. He was then enier- ing upon his junior year. I saw him first in the parlors of the Young Ladies’ School, which I attended in Jacksonville. He en- tered the room with several other students, was taller than the rest, and attracted my attention at once. is face was pale and thin; a pair of keen dark eyes looked out from beneath the heavy brows; his nose was prominent, too large to look well, I thought; a broad, thin-lipped mouth, and a square chin completed the contour of his face. He was neatly, though not fastid- jously, dressed, and stood firmly and with dignity. I noted particularly his hair and his smile. The former, black in color, fine in quality and parted distressingly straight; the latter expansive and expressive. In later years this smile has been the subject of considerable comment, but the well- rounded cheeks of Mr. an now check its onward march, and no one has seen the real breadth of the smile who did not see it in the eony days. Upon one occasion a heartless observer was heard to remark, ‘That man can whisper in his own gar,’ but this was a cruel exaggeration.” “The First Battle” is dedicated to the Hon. Richard P. Bland of Missouri, Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa, and the Hon. Henry M. Teller of Colorado, whom the author considers “the foremost champ!ons of bimetallism in thei¢ respective parties.” A chapter is devo to the Silver party convention and another to the Populist con- vention. In one entitled “The Triple De. mand for Financ'a lism is thus defined: “In a speech made in Ohio, I think tn 1895, Senator Sherman e something like this—I quote from me ‘The parity between gold and silver can only be maintained by the use of gold as a standard, with silver coined in limited quantities as a legal tender. This can properly be called bimetalilism.’ . is definition of bimetallism within the last four years became quite common among those who favor the gold standard, but are not willing to be known as mono- metallists. Bimetalliism means two-metal- liem just as meevpen ~ 4 as the word biped means an animal with two feet. It means the use of two metals as standard money and t ard money they musi be a alike. If the use of gold as a stand- imikted a: bimetal- lism legal tender is system can arene a called bi- r 4 metalliam, then the fe quanti of per in limit- as a limited tender, h @ system would constitute seems to Me that the urdj 4 Sherman's 4 tion wae ie a - 4 r: If that em t ho were unw to vote for ithout an intern Independence,” bimetal-, be opened instead of the mints,”’ Mr, Bryan eaye: aT his was an epigrammatic sentence and did- considerable service in turning public attention from the money question to the tariff question.’’ Mr. Bryan eays the count has much to fear from trusts and corporations. The section of his book devoted to the civil service shows that he does not believe in life tenure of office. BAIZ HANGS ON. Refuses to Recognize the Greater Re- public of Central America. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The Greater Repub- lic of Central America, recently recognized by President Cleveland, is meeting with an unexpected obstacle to the establishment of its consulate in this city. Jacob Baiz, Consul-Generai for Honduras, which, with Nicaragua and Salvador, constitute the new Republic, refuses to turn over to Gen. Bolet-Peraza, its Consul-General, the rec- ords of his office on the round that his Government has not notified him of any change and that he must continue to dis- charge the duties imposed apon him. Gen. Bolet-Peraza called the attention of Mr. Baiz to the impossibility of this view of the fact; that Honduras no longer exists independently of the Greater Republic of Central America, to the Diet of which it has delegated the conduct of its foreign re- lations. Mr. Baiz, however, still refuses to surrender his office. Since Gen. Bolet- Peraza received his exequatur from Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney on Jan. 18, several steamships have left for the ports of Honduras with papers bearing the signa. ture of Mr. Baiz. The new Consul-General said that their cargoes will be liable to seizure as smuggled goods in the absence of invoices signed by him and that it will be his duty to see that thie liability is exe- cuted. Several ee hace are 9 - —_ retary Olney for instructions, an etter from him has been.received by W. logiza & Co., exporters, affirming his intention to ap- al, rough Minister Rodriguez, to the tate Department of our Government for the rotection of innocent third parties, whose nterests are endangered by the present com- plications. VENEZUELAN TREATY. Probability That It Will Be Signed During the Week. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. %—The Ven- ezuelan arbitration treaty will probably be signed before the end of the week. The consent of King Oscar of Sweden to appoint the fifth arbitrator in case of failure to ree on the part of the American and Brit- ish arbitra ia the only thi standing in the way of the fo signing of the treaty. It ig diplomatic etiquette that when a ruler is to act @s an arb‘trator or appoint an arbitrator under a treaty stipu- lation, the exact wording of the article of the treaty by which he may be called upon to act is first submitted to him so that he mag know al] the circumstances. Generally this is an empty formality, but until the ruler selected has received the text and bh ness to act the treaty cannot Be drafted. ing Oscar's as- sent will probably be received in a day or 80. of the original Olney- Pauncefote protoco] has been so modified that while it gives Venesuecia the nominate one of the arbitrators, it ically provided that this arbitrator an American citizen.

It Is Doubtful If the Temperature Falls Below Freezing South of Jacksonville. es CHICAGO, Jan. 2%.—At 9 o’clock this morning the Government thermometer showed a temperature of fifteen de- grees below zero. This is three de- grees warmer than at the same time yes- terday, bat there is little eccmfort derived from that fact, it being one degree colder than at 2@. m, The Signal Service to-day reports the cold area extending all over the West and North- west, and no prospect of a material let up in the intensity of the cold for at least 24 hours. All trains ‘to-day were more or less de- layed by snow drifts and inability to make steam. A general complaint was raised by the people living in the suburbs. At many of the stations no shelter is afforded the pastengers, and many cases of frost b‘tes have occurred. The proclamation issued by Mayor Swift has met with a hearty response. Besides over $13,000 in cash, hundreds of tons of coal, and almost unlimited supplies of provisions have beer sent in and promptly distributed. Several hundred of the more desperate ca‘es of destitution have already been relieved, &nd the work is being carried on without cessation. Fully 2,000 people were given shelter last might at the diffe police stations and Salvation Army baFfracks. The new Isolation Hospital was thrown open to-day, the Council having appropri- ated $10,000 for that purpose, and it will be used for cases of contagious disease @mong the poor. It will also have the ef- fect of relieving the congested condition of the city and county hospitals; which are e0 crowded that not a case of contagious disease has been taken in since Friday. Hight hundred new cases of families re- quiring immediate assistance were reported to the police to-day and supplies were fur- mished as fast as possible. At 11 o’clock the Government thermome- ter registered 11% degrees below zero, @ rise of 8% degrees since yesterday morning when the low mark of the present cold enap (20 degrees below) was recorded, The thermometer to-day is keeping about 3 de- above yesterday's registration. An unknown man was frozen to death just outside She villagé of Finley Park on the Rock: Island road? This is the second death from the cold... Several cases of severe freez- ing were als6 reported, one or two of which will probably result in the loss of hands or feet. Fires of all kinds and descriptions kept the firemen busy all day and nearly every man in the Fire Depar‘*ment is almost exhausted from the constant battle with the ~flames in the bitter weather. ° WASHINGTON, Jan. 2%.—The people of Washington prepared for zero weather early this morning, but the day opened a little colder than yesterday, the thermometer standing at 8 degrees above at 8 a. m., or only one degree iower than yesterday. The sun shone brightly from a clear sky. Weather Bureau advices show that it is twenty to thirty degrees below zero in the Northwest and that freezing weather ex- tends to the Gulf Coast: The following message was distributed this morning throughout Florida by the Weather Bureau: “The temperature. will fall to freezing in the Northwestern por- tion of Kagiern, Florida. Wednesday morn- ing, but the cold wave will not be as severe as anticipated, and-it is doubtful if the temperature falls Below freezing south of Jacksonville.”’ In the Middle and South Atlantic States the indications are that the warm rays of the sun will aid materially to-day and to- morrow in mitigating the effects of the cold blasts from the est. A sharp wind is blowing, but this, it is e cted, will mod- erate during the day, so that outdoor life will be made more comfortable this after- noon and to-morrow, The high barometer out West is thought, however, to presage another drop in the temperature later in the week. The local charitable organizations are busy relieving the poor. ogy ete from the South show that thus wel itthe damage has been done to early Tops, CHICAGO'S BIG ICE CROP. The Cold Snap Will Give Employment to Over 12,000 Men. CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—The cold evap, though causing so much suffering and in- convenience to many, will give employ- ment to over 12,000 men. The cold weather has brough to the ice dealers just what they wanted, as last week they were wonder.ng if they would be able to cut the ice needed for next summer. Thirty-five ice compan- les have plants at points on the Wisconsin Central, and Chicago & Northwestern roads, within 100 miles of Chicago, and twenty of these firms began operations on the ice flelds to-day.

NEW TORE, 26.—While the figures showed a slight moderation in the tempera- ture here to-day, as compared with yester- day, it was so slight as to be not apprecia- ble. At 4:30 a. m. the official record was 5.08 deg. above zero, the velocity of the wind being 62 miles an hour. At 8 o’clock the mercury had risen to 7 deg., the wind having subsided somewhat. In the interior there has been a more marked rise in temperature on the coast, moderation being also marked in New En- gland and Canada. Snow is reported in many places in this State, although here the es is unclouded. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.—Two degrees below zero was registered here this morning, and Signal Officer Connor sa ‘The cold spell is going to stay with us all the week. at least.”’ Reports from outlying points are to the effect that but little change has been ex- perienced since yesterday. No serious dam- age or loss of life is reported. Many local applicants for fuel and wood have been and are. still being supplied. WATDRTOWN, N. Y. Jan. 2,—The weather in this city has moderated con- siderably since yesterday. The thérmome- ter at 8 a. m. registered 20 degs. above zero. A heavy snow fell during the night and continues.

REV. ALBERT J. BRADLEY TEN- DERS HIS RESIGNATION. HIS ADHERENTS TURNED DOWN. The Congregationalists Split Over o Proposition to Sell the Church Property. Old Orchard Congregational Church is divided against itself, and the pastor, Rev. Albert J. Bradley, has resigned. While there has been friction in the church for some time, no one looked for the storm to break so soon. Everybody was siartled when Dr. Bradley prefaced his Sunday ser- mon with a letter of resignatior. Then there came a realization that Dr. Bradley had been forced into an unpleasant attitude. His friends became bitter in their de- nunciation of those who forced his resigna- tiom, and they in turn were angry at the pastor for forcing a crisis. A $1,20 real estate deal is the rock on Which the congregation split. When Dr. Bradley became pastor of Old Orchard Con- gregational Church three years ago, he was promised a handsome church edifice. Mrs. Justin E. Joy gave a lot on the corner of Hickory street and Old Orchard avenue, a corner of the old Joy homestead, with the understanding that a church would be erected on it within five years. A year from next March this limitation would have ex- pired. Meanwhite Mr, Joy sold the balance of hig property to L. N. Chipley. He didn’t fancy the idea of a church on the outskirts of hig lawn, bes-des he thought the lot very des.r- 2 and offered the ‘church trustees $1,250 or it, There was considerable opposition, The church had a $2,500 deposit in bank to the credit of the yh repenen 2 und. The pastor and his adherents thought that building opera- tions ehould be commenced forthw.th. Another contingent were not opposed to Selling the lot, but Provert the property was well worth from $2, to $2,500. They opposed selling it at anything less than its value. Although Mr. Joy gave the property for church perpecee he placed no restriction on the deed. He also blossomed out as a firm advocate of selling, especially after Mr. Chipley expressed a willingness to take it for $1,250, Mr. Joy had almost as many followers as the pastor. He was a better politician, and when a vote was taken on the proposition to sell Mr. Joy carried the day for Mr. Chipley. This drew a sharp line through the con- gregation between Dr. Bradley’s adherents and Mr. Joy’s crowd. As the latter were in control, the pastor, to use a colloquial ex- pression, did not “‘cut much ice’ among his own flock. Both factions are saying bitter things against each other. If the pastor’s resigna- tion is accepted, there will be need of two Congregational pastors at Old Orchard. WANT A MAN PRINCIPAL. Gardenville School Patrons Say Mrs. Van Hamm Is Too Good Natured. The Teachera Committee of the School Board was petitioned Monday by patrons of the Gardenville School for the removal of Mrs. Mary F. Van Hamm and the appoint- ment of a man as principal. The petition alleged that Mrs. Van Hamm was too elder- ly and good-natured to control the pupils. No action was taken. The ‘following appointments of paid as- sistants were recommended> Ada M. Sar- ford, Lafayette morning kindergarten; Ma- mie Fish, Meramec morning kindergart- en; Annie McGrath, Bryan Hill morning kindergarten; Margaret P.

E. D. LEWIS CAMPED ON J. HARRY RANDALL'S TRAIL. PUBLIC OFFICE AS A SNAP. Building Cémmissioner Denies That He Has Done Wrong and Ad- mits His Unofficial Interests. E. D. Lewis, agent of the Cremoline Chemical Company, will file charges before Mayor Walbridge against Building Com- missioner J. Harry Randall. He accuses Mr. ndall of being the agent of the West Disinfectant Company ' of New York, and of using his position to debar competition and line his pockets witg fat commissions. He declares he will be able to lay proofs before the Mayor which will compel him to take cognizance of the matter. « ' He said Tuesday: “I do not care for the city’s business and would not have made a kick if Randall had not been trying to steal my private customers. He ought to be satisfied with his aft. “My proof that Randall is the company’s ent is conclusive. He buys the stuff by the six-barrel lot and stores it at Huiest, Stout & Co.'s paint shop, He has twenty- six shares in that company, for which he paid $1,300. ‘IT took a gallon of my disinfectant up to Head Janitor Wiebrock. He commended it and told me to get requisitions from Randal). Randall said that there was Mo money and made all sorts of excuses. “I am on Randall’s trail and Iam going to stay on it until I round him up.” Monday afternoon Mr. Randall said “‘Pooh-pooh,”’ and breathed defiance and re- fused to seriously discuss Mr. Lewis’ charges. Tuesday he had ah explanation ready. “The Cremoline people have simply got the Randalls mixed up,”’ he said, in his con. vincing way. “It is my brother, O. L. Randall, who is the agent of the West people. I got him the position. I thought it would bea goed thing for him.”’ “How long has he been the agent of the company ?’’ Mr. Randal! hesitated. December,’’ he said. , “But Charles Riley says he is the agent.” “Oh, yes, Riley is interested too.”’ ‘He was your brother’s predecéssor?” “Yes; that’s it.” -Mr. Randall geemed grateful for the euggestion. “You deny that you are interested in the disinfectant?” : “Of course I do. I let my brother have some money to start on, but that is all.” “And you don’t store the stuff at Hulest, Stout & Co.’s?’’ “No. Ihave an interest in that compa )y, though, as I -have-a right to have. And I'll tell you another thing. We are going to organize a company to handle the West dis- infectant. We intend to push it for all it is worth, and we don’t care who knows it. I have a right to invest my money wiere I please.”’ Janitor Wiebrock said he could see no dif- ference in the two disinfectants, and did not recommend a change because he knew Mr. Randall, Having used the West disin- fectant so long he would not make a change. Mr. Lewis says the city ordered s‘x bar- rels of the disinfectant in January, when there ought to be little need for it. Mr, Wiebrock says as much is needed in winter as summer. SLUPSKY ADVISED HIM. John Thomas Brady Makes a Scene and Then Explains. John Thomas Brady nearly caused a stampede in, Police Court Tuesday morning. When Sergt.v.McFarland entered Judge; Pea- body’s precincts Brady threw his arms about the Sergeant’s neck, told him he loved him and threw him to the floor. The spectators made a rush, some for the scene of trouble, and the others for the doors, t Judge Péabody rose in his chair, pushed his skull cap to the back of hig head and clutched the ice water pitcher. Four or five deputy marshais separated the men. Brady said he was only joking with the Sergeant, t the Sergeant had to rearrange his clothing. Brady said he had been subpoenaed to tell Judge Peabody why he had not paid the license for his saloon. . “T don’t have to pay a license and I won’t pay a license,’’ said John Thomas to a re- porter. “Why not?’ “Col, Abraham Slupsky told me not to pay t sf “What did he have to say about saloon li- censes?’’ “He told me that it was simply an op- pression on the innocent saloon keepers and that the $300 which I had to pay went into the coffers of a lot of robbers.” “Then you do not intend to pay your license ?’’ “Why, cert not. Doesn’t Abe Slupsky know what he is talking about? Of course he does.

In fact, there are nota few Wall street Democrats who pull olive twigs from their pockets and display them on the sly when silver Democrats are in sight. These Wall street people talk har- mony and peace “‘for the good of the party.” As was stated some time ago in the Post- Dispatch, there is one faction of gold Dem- ocrats who wish to destroy the r organiza- tion practically and kill the gold standard clubs so as to make the path easier that will lead the way back to the regular fold. They geem to be honest in their opinion that Democratic victory in St. Louis, especially in the spring campaign, will be im poss.ble unless all the old Democratic forces upite and work together. This peace-making element of gold Demo- «rats finds a number of silver Democrats | who are willing to take the recalcitrants rn the fold again on terms of penance. These two elements have been looking around for mayoraity timber. They. have picked wpon Virginius O. Saunders, — tary of the Wear & Boogher Dry Goods Co,, the well-known wholesale firm.

Mr. Saunders has a well-established record for efficient work in the Spruce Street Mis- gion, which is an independent, non-sectarvan organization doing a noble work of rescue tin the slums. For this reason the peace- loving politicians argue that he ought to be acceptable to the Civic Federation as a mayoralty candidate. ' Mr. Saunders’ sterling honesty and busi- Ness qualifications would, h is said, also commend him to the large independent vote now found among the merchants and manufacturers. ' With Mr. Saunders as the Democratic nominee for Mayor, the political poniards could be thrown away by. Democrats, or, At least, only unsheathed against the com- his enemy—the opposition candidate and Because her lover deserted her Rose Shind- ler, 2 servant of Mrs. C. A. Dutcher, of 1741 Preston place, went insane Monday after- noon. The girl is at the City Hospital, her mind probably gone forever.

About 4 o’clock Monday afternoon the girl was at work quietly in the kitchen. Mrs. Dutcher was up stairs. Rose called for her mistress to come down- stairs. Mrs. Dutcher thought the girl was ill and went to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the door Rose threw her arms about Mrs. Dutcher’s neck. “TIT want to talk to you,’’ she said, and for some time ran on in a rambling manner, etill retaining her hold on Mrs. Dutcher. Finally the latter managed to free herself and dispatched another servant for the girl's sister, who lives near Twenty-seventh strect and Chouteau avenue. In the meantime Rose was running wildly around the house.

When Mr. Bower tried to look at the pieture the girl became hysterical. She sang and danced, and became so violent that the police were sent for. A patrol- man arrived about the time the girl’s sis- ter got to the house. After a consultation an ambulance was summoned and Rose was sent to the City Hospital. Mrs. Dutcher does not know who the man is that Rose loves, as the girl never had any company at the house. RUNAWAY HUSBAND ARRESTED. James H. Creven, Who Prefers Phono- graphs to His Loving Wife. Sheriff Edward A. Wells of Murphys- boro, Ill., wired Chief Desmond Tuesday that he had arrested James H. Creven, who is wanted in St. Louis for wife desertion. Mrs. Emma Creven called at the Four Courts Monday and asked the police to as- sist her in locating her husband, She sai she lived at Marion, Ind., and that her husband had left her a few days before. He operates phonographs and had just opened in Murphysboro when he was ar- rested. Mrs. Creven is witb friends at Fer- guson, Mo. The Murphysboro authorities are holding Creven until they know at what place he is wanted. PROF NIPHER AS AN EXPERT. Will Testify in a Damage Suit Against a Street Railway. Judge Spencer is hearing on Tuesday the suit of Lizzie Lotte vs. the Citizens’ Rail- way Company for $5,000 damages for the killing of her husband near Rinkelville last summer. One of the witnesses is_ Prof. Nipher of Washington University. He was summoned by the plaintiff.

Before he could reach the scene neigh- bors had rushed in and dragged Mrs. Shea from the kitchen. She was only partly clad and was hor- ribly burned before the flames coulf be extinguished She was too badly injured to give any explanation of how the fire started, but the blazing kerosene can and the odor of the oll told the story.

Dougherty of St. James, Mo., died at the City Hospital Tuesday morning at » o'clock under mysterious circumstances. Dougherty is supposed to have been a farmer at St. James, Mo. He was at least 60 yeers old, with gray hair, beard and mus- tache. His Clothes were shabby and no papers of any kind were found in his pos- session whieh told anything of his history.
