Police Continue to Do Noble Work in Relieving the Distress of All Who Go to the Station Houses for ‘Food and Clothing. The air is not less bitter Thursday, the eufferings of the poon none the less keen. All night the mercury hung about the zero mark. There was suffering in countless homes. The Weather Bureau holds out no imme- diate hope for milder weather. It may last for three weeks. There is certainly no pros- pect of balmy weather for a month ahead. The number of destitute has staggered the organized charities. With all their forces working day and night, they can reach but a fraction of the needy. Thou- sands of hungry people are depending on public charity given individually or through the police. In all but one instance, this is so un- Systematic that with prolonged cold weath- er thousands will be neglected afer having been tantalized with temporary relief. The instance referred to is in the Fourth Police District, where relief is given as in- telligently as through the organized chari- ties. The fact that 600 absolutely destitute fam- ies in that district have been fed and clothed and provided with coal by Capt. Joyce's men shows strikingly the inability of the organized charities to cope with the situation. According to the superintendent of the Provident Association there are 50,000 desti- | tute people tn the city. Thirty-two thous- and of these have been temporarily relieved. This leaves 18,000 poor stil! suffering ¢or Bg oe and clothes. .An the light of these figures, in the face of the Wealther Bureau's prediction that the oold oman a ere is no excuse for pn rect Rh hope mhat the weather Cautious, etatistical giving, the charity Mhat comes efter “deep thought" is useless in this emergency.

Even if it moves off more cold weather igs due from the Northwest. The pressure through the blizzard country is High and likely to remain so. This means continued cold. Similar conditions prevailed in February, 1895, and St. Louis, suffered a bitter cold spell off three weeks’ duration. The weather forecaster will not commit himself to a prediction over twenty-four hours ahead, but he admits the conditions ! PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION. Scenes at a Place Where Charity Is Or- ganized. Judging from the throng of unfortunates that haunted the Provident Association headquarters Thursday morning a ittithe of the suffering has not yet been relieved. Before the machinery of the well ordered Office could be got in motion the hungry and ill-clad poor gathered in the hallway out- side the distribution rooms. Women and children chilled to the very bone on their way.to ‘the place of relief jostled’ each’ ‘other in their efforts to get near the heaters. Men stamped the floor with their ill-shod feet to warm their blood, made sluggish by cold and hunger. The ordinary indiv:d- ual with comfortable clothing would have said the hall was so warm as to be al- most stifling. At 9 o’clock nearly 200 persons had been admitted to the distributing rooms, the women entering the room to the right and the men the one to the left. Those of the women who desired immediate relief were sent across the hall and awaited their turn with the men. The crowd was a motley one. Black and white, neat and slovenly, young and old, mingled indiscriminately, each waiting with almost feverish anxiety for their names to be called by the dis- tributing clerk. At 10 o’clock 110 apprennss had been given relief of some kind. Many of them, espec- ially the women and children, were Biven orders for provisions. The men, as a rule, were given employment in tthe association wood yard. Heads of families were given orders for coal when necessary. Supt. Finney said Thursday morning: “This looks as if we are going to keep up an average of 300 a day. From present in- dications we will relieve more than that number to-day. There has not been the slightest hitch in the work so far. ‘We have met every demand made on us, and will continue to do so if our friends stand by us as they have been doing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Miss Eva Mayhew of St. Joseph, Mo., who takes a small part in “‘A Boy Wanted,’’ at the Star Theater, mysteriously disappeared early last night, and the members of the company, with whom she was very popular, are much wor- ried over her strange absence. Miss May- hew and her roommate, Miss Belle Tufts, went to the theater and reported to the stage manager a few minutes after 7 o'clock. Both then went to their dressing- room. Miss Tufts began making up and Miss Mayhew stepped from the room, This Was the last seen of her and no trace can be found. Miss Mayhew is described as 19 years old and ..very. quiet.

He Has the Backing, of Speaker Reed and They | Have Their-Way. heat Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Commit- tee has set Congress buzzing by his latest statement. He said to-day: “There will be no general legislation dur- ing the extra session of Congress. President McKinley will cali Congress in extraordin- ary session for the specific purpose of pass- ing a revenue bill. When we meet in March the bill will be ready to present to the House and it will be passed within thirty days, and sent to the Senate. Nothing else will be done by the House. We will adjourn from day to day, or take three day adjournments, according to the provisions of the Consti- tution. “The eyes of the country will be on the Senate alone. The House will not consider pension bills nor enter into any general legislation. We will simply remain nomi- nally in session until the Senate reaches a conclusion on the revenue bill, and then the measure will go into ,conference, where it will be perfected to suit both houses. I do not believe that the Senate will force a long session when nothing is under con- sideration except the ‘tariff bill.”’ Members who have been expecting to get legislation through in extra session when nothing is under consideration except the tariff bill are inclined to wax indignant. But what Mr. Dingley says is backed by the Speaker, and he holds tthe whip hand. DR. ABBOTT ON JONAH. Congregational Association Objects to the Minister’s Remarks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Jan. 28.—Three days have passed since’ the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, pastor of the Plymouth Church, and one of the leading clergymen of the country, held up the story of Jonah and the whale to the r.dicule of his congregation, as told in the Post-Dispatch. Storms have been brewing since then, both inside and outside the famous church, It has been seriously ques- tioned whether a spl.t in the church might not follow utterances so extreme and hetero- dox. Outside the church the dissent has been marked and ‘n some instances angry. Among those who d.ssent are the members of the Manhattan Congregational Associa- tion, a club of minieters belonging to the same denomination as Dr. Abbott. They met in the South Congregational Church, Brooklyn, and she Abbott sermon was the chief topic of debate. After a b.tter debate, in which Dr. Abbott was severely arra.gned, a resolution censuring him by name was amended and the utterance and not the man was condemned. It is worthy of notice that fourteen years ago the same body of ministers voted some of Henry Ward Beecher’s utterances hetero- dox. Each Congregational Church ‘6 a law unto itself in the matter of doctrine, but there are certain condit‘ons of church fel- lowship which the members of the associa- tion say cannot be ignored.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 28.—The Senate has adopted by a party vote the joint resolution directing Senator John M.

Yours truly, QHN M. THURSTON. At the conclusion of the reading of the letter, the resolution was adopted by a par- ty vote. SCARED TO DEATH. A Little Girl With a Mask Kills a Two-Year-Old Baby. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Jan. 29.—Margaret Colley, 8 years old, of Muncy, scared a 2-year-old child to death with a mask. She put on a repulsive one and went to the resi- dence of William Priest. Mr. and Mrs. Priest were playing with Walter, their 2-year-old baby. Margaret gave a shriek as she ran in and Walter fell sobbing in his mother’s arms, screaming, and went into convulsions. These ‘continued, de- spite the efforts of two physicians, for eighteen hours, when the boy died. THE WEATHER FORECAST. FAIR AND COLD. The Weather Bureau forecasts are s follows: ‘or St. Louis and vicinity—-Generally fair and cold Thursday night and Friday. , Missouri and MIlinois—Generally fair and cold Thursday night. The storm on the North Atlantic coast still persists . with increasing energy, pre- venting the approach of the cold wave to that section, and the pressure has fallen generally westward through the Lake Regios. Over the remaining portions of the country the cold wave continues, and bas reached Northern Florida, the temperature being 10 degrees below the freezing peint at Jack- sonville. There has, however, been a general rise in thé temperatures of from 2 to 18 degrees over the Upper Lake Region, be tween the Rocky Mountains and the Missi«- sipp! River. and in the valleys of the Red River of the North and James River. In the extreme Northwest abnormally bigh pressures persist, with temperatures rang- ing from 22 to 32 degrees below zeTo. There hare been apows from the Lake Region ani Ohio Valley eastward. There are aome indications of the approach of a low area from the South Pacific coast, and light snow may possibly fall in this locality dur- ing Friday or Friday night.

He lay on his cot in a room on the third floor of the Four Courts, rolling and tossing with unceasing restless- ness. Officer Jack Lawton was guarding him, ARTHUR PALMER, but the prisoner searcely spoke a word. Every attempt to draw him into conversa- tion met with persistent silence. He seem- ed always thinfing, thinking, thinking. At times he sat up in bed as though to rest from the weariness of a recumbent po. sition. Rarely did he raise his eyes. He kept them constantly on his thin, bony fingers, which worked convulsively in an apparent effort to control the shattered nerves of his system. When the morning dawned he arose and | looked out the window. He studied the housetops below him without comment.

He knew that he was in a locked room alone with either a desperate murderer or a homicidal maniac, and he was unwilling to take any chances, Capt, O'Malley, who made the arrest Wed- ne:day, and who has charge of the case, visited the prisoner at 8 o'clock. He found him in his shirt sleeves sitting by the radia- | tor with his eyes on his twitching fingers. It: was cold in the room, and the Captain, greeting him pleasantly, helped him on with his coat and overcoat. “Don't you want some breakfast?’ asked the Captain. “Ves, I'm hungry.’ was the reply. “What do von want?’ Palmer looked out the window for at least five minutes. “A cup of beef tea.”’ he finally said, “a cup of coffee and some rolls.” hen the prisoner sat down and set O'Malley went out, leaving the Post-Dis- patch reporter, who had accompanied him to the room, to talk with the murderer. But the man would talk very little. He persistently declared that he would not say ta word, and still to some questions he re- sponded quite intelligently. ' “I. don't want to talk to reporters,”” he said in response to the first question. “Would you talk to a lawyer?’ Palmer's face brightened with a crafty amile. “To my lawyer I would,” he answered. “Who is your lawyer?" “lt haven’: one yet.

FAVORABLE REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE, MR. FARRIS’ LIBERAL SPEECH. Inter 2 sented, but the Committee Voted — Relief for the Farmers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. m3 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 3.—The House Committee on Internal Improvements decided late last night to make a favorable report on the Farris-Avery bills providing for a reduction of freight and passenger charges on all railroads in the State. The committee heard arguments on the question at a session held in the hall of the House of Representatives last night, The session was prolonged until nearly mid. night, and numerous speeches were made... That the railroad managers are emphatic in their opposition to the bills to reduce the rates is clearly demonstrated by the fact that a delegation of prominent railway men appeared before the committee last night to plead their cause. The delegation consisted of Howard Elliott, General Man- - ager of the Burlington lines in Missouri: P. 8, Eustis, General acy Agent of the Burlington system, with in Chicago; H. C. Tow senger Agent of the Missouri Chariton, General Passe Chicago & Alton; L. W. y, Genera -Passenger Agent of the Burlington lines in Missouri, and Col. John H. wis < ae of the Burlington legal department. In addition to this delegation, Col, W. H. Phelps was there also. | : The fact that such prominent men as the foregoing list took the to come to the State capital to against the age of the reduc — beyo any doubt that the are It is now a foregone conclusion strong effort will be made to bring the defeat of the bills.

tion, In short, Mr. Elliott's argument was simply a viow at the workingmnan, becatise “they would, in the long run, be the suffer- ers. His speech was quite lengthy, and in several portions of it he appealed to the State pride and begged the legislators to not do anything to bring about a-cut, in Wages or to render the railroad passenger service inferior to what it is now. Atten- ‘tion was called by Mr. Elliott to the scale -of wages maintained by the railroad com- panies, and he insisted that there was no necessity for a reduction of either pagsén- ger or freight charges. ‘ Mr. Bustis made a speech, in which he ‘delved into figures showing something about railway earnings, and he argues that passenger business is based on the density of population. He took the position that Missouri is sparsely inhabited, and that rates should be kept up here more than in some of the older States, where there are “more people to ride on trains. Other railroad men spoke along the same line, and several men purporting to repre- sent railway brotherhoods appeared before the committee to talk against the bill.

He charged that the railroads have already reduced wages about.as low as !s possible and he thught a reduction of charges would be an act of consistency. At times the discussion grew somewhat animated, but taken in the ags gregate the meeting last night was not hal so interesting as the meeting that was held a week ago on the fellow servant bill.

Precedents Found for Granting of 'Leg- islative Help. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 28.—Of par- ticular interest to St. Louis is the bill intro- duced by Senator Schweickard!, providing for an appropriation #0 be used as a relief fund for the St. Louis cyclone sufferers. There has been some discussion as to the constitutionality of the act, but this has been setded by the discovery of-a constitu- tional provision permitting such appropria- tiens to be made in case of an emergency. The action is not without precedent, either. In 1880 an appropriation was made for “he rebuilding of public buildings. at Mareh- fied, destroyed by a cyclone, And a better precedent than the Marshfield case is the appropriation made for the relief of the flood victims in Souvheast Missouri about ten ears ago. In the latter instance the relief und was used for the benefit of the indivia- val sufferers. It is not believed that shere w.ll be any material opposition to the Schweickardt bill asking for the appropri- ation of $260,000, although some of the mem- bers have suggesced that the amount is a little high. On the other hand the St. Louis people say that a smaller sum would be absolutely inadequate. ‘ SPECIAL JURY LAW. _. ‘ | E vp ig.

I notice that organized eharity has been criticised because it inyestigates cases before giving relief. The ovident Association is not open to such criticisms. We givo aid in emergency cases immediate- ly and without question. We would rather be cheated by ten unworthy persons than cause one worthy one unnecessary suffering. Our “agents are instructed to supply the needs of the destitute first and investigate afterwards if investigation is deemed nec- essary. When an agent finds a family in want he goes at once to the nearest grocery or coal yard, or both, and supplies the want before reporting to this office. ‘'We feel that the association violates no trust placed in it by its supporters when it uses its funds tn this way.

Misdi- rected charity is an injustice to the really worthy poor. “If the city did its rin | the streets would not be thronged at night with shelterless outcasts. If the city were to turn over to ,the Provident Association a certain amount every year we would provide adequate she!- ter for the ‘homeless.

The city should realize that it would be to its interest to keep the homeless off the streets at night. e receive no aid from the city. -It shows no inclination to extend ‘help even in the present emer- @ency.”’ '. Mr. Scruggs was asked what he thought of Mayor Walbridge’s refusal to do any- thing to aid the suffering. ‘‘Really,”’ he said, “I cannot answer that. It would be injudicious for me to express my opinion. ou can guess what I think about it, though. From what I have just said you can judge what my opinion of the city’s course is. I do not desire to discuss Mayor Walt idge’s action one way or the other.

That the organized charities are unable to cope with the destitution brought on by the cold. spell is evidenced by the relief work done through the police of the Fourth District. Since Monday Capt. Joyce has aided 600 families who’ were not reached by either the Provident Association or the St. Vin- cent de Paul Society. Some of these appealed to the police in sheer desperation. Others too proud to ask for assistance were saved from death by hunger and starvation by police officers who were commissioned: by their Captains to ferret out the unfortunates and bring them aid. The work of relief done through the police of this district has been systematic and widespread. The earnestness and intelli- gence evinced by Capt. Joyce in coping with the desperate situation that confronted him attracted public attention. He has been in- undated with contributions of money, clothes, coal and provisions. He has par- celed out everything that reached him in the way that it would do most good. The poverty-stricken area of the Fourth District extends from Lucas avenue to Cass avenue, the Levee to Twenty-third street. Before the recent reclassification of the Police Peper tment it was known as “the Bloody Third,” the stamping ground of pov- erty and crime. Capt, Joyce has suppressed , the lawlessness. The poverty he could not eradicate, but he has subdued its terrors. When the cold spell came nearly 1,000 fam- flies in the district were hopelessly unable to oa with its rigors, Capt. Joyce didn’t follow Mayor Wal- bridge's example and give the situation deep thought.” He called ten of hia oldest and most efficient officers and commissioned them to make a thorough investigation of the distress in the district and report back tohim. The policemen detatled for this duty were Officers O’Brien, Maher, Head, Quig- ley, Roach, Sadler, Ganley, Curran and Dor. sey. He By BE oo through the newspapers e had an immense of destitution to relieve. an Contributions began tet in. After the stories of distress were told in Monday's Post-Dispatch, the station became a receiv. ing depot. Everything was sorted out in an orderly way. The offjcers’ drill room in the second floor was mde a store room. Officer Maher, who used to be a tailor, was “peery in charge of the clothing, with Mrs. osetta Hainsworth, the matron, to assist him. Officer Henry - Bartold, who was a butcher, took charge of the big supplies of meat. Another officer looke after the shoes. Still another supervised the distribu- tion of bread and vegetables. Capt.

It is the same story in every family,”’ said Capt. Joyce. ‘““The husband sick or idle, the mother, a widow, or a de- sen‘ed wife with a squad of youngsters to feed. They lived from hand to mouth while the weather was mild. They are helpless now. They must be helped as long as this weather lasts or they will die like rats. The good people of the city have responded nobly since the Post-Dispatch put the true stave of affairs before them, ut the work is just begun, It must be continued. Those who can give should give quickly. We shall send anywhere for clothing or provisions if notified. What we want most of all is shoes. “Smnce Monday we have distributed 2,500 bushels of coal. If the cold snap continues a week we will need four times as much again. ‘‘In all 600 families have been relieved, and from the reports of my men they are in such straits shat we will hage to after them until milder weather comes again.”’ REPORTED TO THE POLICE.

The Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange held a meeting Wednesday after- noon to consider a proposition to throw open the rooms in the basement formerly occupied by the Bell Telephone Company to provide shelter for the homeless poor dur- ing the cold weather. The proposition met with considerable op- position from some _ directors. It was claimed that to open rooms for this pur- pose in the Exchange building would cause & number of undesirable persons to congre- gate in the building and interfere with the business of the tenants. Other directors were in favor of hiring rooms for the purpose in some other build- ing. Friends of the idea claimed that the vacant rooms could be made comfortable at a light expense and that poli¢emen in the building could easily prevent undesirable characters from congregating in ‘the halls. The matter was finally referred to Presi- dent Langenberg with the understanding that he was to endeavor to secure the con- sent of the tenants of the building.’ This was done, and Thursday noon the Merchants’ Exchange made a formal tender of all its vacant rooms to the Police Depart- You may get over that slight cold all right, but it has left its mark on the mem- branes lining your throat.

We know your prescriptions are not filled to your satisfac- tion at the City Dispensary, so we invite you, for two weeks from above date, to send the worthy poor to us, with prescrip- tions so marked that we may understand it is for charity, when we shall fill them free of charge.

The official report of Secretary of State Lesueur cowering the operation of the new State Bank Inspection law of Mis- souri hae been sent to the General Assem- bly. | i Ion The adoption of this law was forced b conditions which found their most con- spicuous And most disastrous illustration in the joint failure and suspension of the two banks at Slater, after a few years of ¢riminally negligent, if not actually corrupt, Management. At that time there was practically no such thing as State bank inspection in Missotr}, Perhaps the best evidence of how far the law fafled tO ifidi¢ate the ree] cénattion of suéh tnstititions is the fact trai one of the! most wonservative financiai institutions of St. Louis had loaned one of the 4npelvent,Slater banks $100,000 om eollatefal not worth over $40,- 000. The new law is much more effective. It clothes the Secretary of State with much larger powers than did the old law. The Secretary diretts attention to this and says thdt the @énforcement of the law is giving more satisfactory results. But he says, what is doubtless true, that the business of private banking is still largely overdone, and that an inspection law cannot serve its highest possible useful- ness so long as too great latitude is given for the incorporation of weak institu- tiond. He thinks that the power of the State might justly be exercised for the proteetion of the people against such risk as these institutions bring to them by offering convenient but not safe de- positories for money. The question is one that should engage the earnest attention of the Legislature. i ai. HISTORY WILL DO HIM JUSTICE.

There can be no doubt ef it. History, soener or later, does every man justice........ In the case of Cleveland there will be no long délay. He will bé thoroughly un- derstood before the close of this century, and ‘history's verdi¢t upon him is fore. shadowed by the estimate in which he is mow held by the great party which heaped / upon him unexampled honorg.and which he betrayed to the money gees for the same inducement that moved Judas Iscariot.

Secretary Lamont has decided to give Gén. Fitz-Hugh Lee’s nephew another trial at West Point Academy, from which he was dropped recently for deficiency in his studies. A semi-official notification has been issued by the Prince of Wales, recommending that the schemes on the part of the people destined to celebrate in a fitting manner the sixtieth anniversary of the Queen’s ac- cession to the throne should take the form of “works of mercy among the sick and suffering, and of enterprises that may tend to brighten and ameliorate the condition of the poorer subjects of Her Majesty.” The people of Sleepy Eye, Minn., are not yet Srepared to believe that Grant Brambel, the young telegrapher of that town, has sold his rotary engine invention to an English syndicate for several millions of dollars. Speaking of the inventor, a corre- spondent of the Chicago Tribune says: “Some years ago Brambel was an operator at Skaneateles, N. Y., and created a sen- sation by announcing his invention of an electric lamp, which he had disposed of for $70,000. He said he was going to take a trip around the world, and left Skaneateles, but he only came ¢o Sleepy Eye, and does not bear the evidence of having had the $70,000."’ WOMEN OF NOTE. Miss Sophonisba P. Breckinridge, a daugh- ter of Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge of Ken- tucky, was admitted to the practice of law in the Kentucky Court of Appeals the other day. She was graduated from Wellesley College in 1888, and has spent some time in Europe studying French ami Roman law. Mrs. Maria Lioyd Steele, who died the other day in Annapolig, Md., in her 92d year, was a daughter of cis Scott Key, the fauthor of “Star-S Banner.” She was born in the old Key homestead at Blenheim, formerly Bladensburg. She was a descen- dant of Gov. Lioyd of Maryland and a niece of Chief Justice Taney. ‘Marian 8.

McDonald, for consolidating all the fishing and hunting clubs in St. Louis, somewhat after the fashion of the Asso- clated Cycling Clubs. The idea has grown out of the concerted move recently made to have better game resentatives of the 4ifferent clubs whose members are mostly St. Louisans. St. Louis has a great many large. and wealthy hunting clubs, whose members do not get a chance to meet on any common, ground. There is no placé where members of one club can go to meet members of an- other club without first making special en- gagements therefor. Under the new idea' the committee appointed to urge the passage of the new game law bill is to be made per- manent and augmented by the addition of representatives from all the other clubg in! mittee will then be empowered to formulate a plan for a sort of association of hunting and fishing clubs, which will have for its main object the protection of —s and reg- ulation of hunting and for its secondary object the closer association of the individ- now have any general meeting place. It will require constant attention on the part of clubs here to have the game laws and it is generally conceded that a perman- ent organization of allied clubs will be the most practical and effective way of attain- ing the end desired, THAT MAGNATE YARN. So a A Story Originating in St. Louis Cur- rent in Chicago. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—*When I get through with this battle with Fitzsimmons I should like to buy out the St. Louis League Fran- chise,"’ said James J. Corbett. ‘I believe I could make a success in every way with the base ball club, if the present owners will only sell,’”’ Corbett did not intimate what were his intentions in the matter and the statement was a surprise to hes friends. It was not known here that he aspired to be a bdll magnate. His brother Joe is a pitcher in the League, having been with the. Baltimore team last season. This fact may have had something to do with his desire to acquire the Browns but the entire matter is specu- lation. Next week, after the close of the Kansas City season, Corbett will be taken to the battle-grounds by his traners. He prefers to have the fight in Nevada. “It will be a weight off my mind when I learn the truth,’ vaid he. ‘IT should like to have it In Nevada, out toward my old home; but as Dan Stuart is spending so much time in the South. I suppose the bat- tle will be down there. I shall have more work to get acclimated if the South is the place. Fitzsimmons is talking a good deal, and with very poor excuse.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 28.—It is al- most a foregone conclusion that the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place in Nevada, and it is about-equally as certain that tthe ring will be pitched in Carson. Everything points to the verification of this dual prophecy. No opposition to the measure was mani- fested in the Upper House, and the vast array of Nevadans who are favorable to the measure voice the opinion that it will g0 through without a struggle. A number of Carson clergymen will lend their moral Support to the opponents of the scheme but the friends of the bill are not worried over the outlook. They claim that public sentiment is too strong to be combatted and that a vote in Carson alone would de- velop the fact that 90 out of every 100 want the ppampiodahtp of tthe world to be de- cided in that section of the country. i Treasurer; Lafayette Park is under a Separate man- | coming spring race promises to be the most ored Silks in lengths of from 5 to 2 vards, comprising such as— All-8} lk Satin Duchesse, Satin Rha- dames, Bengalines, Moire Francaise and Faille Francaise; everyone ol these is really worth from $1.90 to $1.35 a yard; your choice (per yard) vA% KRelding Bros.’ Wash Em- broidery Silks, Twist, etc. ; worth 5c skein; Gur Price, each 2'c ¢ “— -_—~—_— ened ——- +: feree loudly prompted by the spectators call- | ed the mill a draw.

This leaves in the Treasury as a fund to be used for ordinary purposes only $86,031,019. This is far from being an enor- mous sum when the extensive operations of the Government are taken into considera- tion. The Treasury is running behind still, and with only three days to hear from in the first month of the year the excess of ex- penditures over receipts is $7,293,516, and the deficit for the fiscal year thus far, a period of nearly seven months, is over $45,000,000. If the gold in the Treasury is not to be paid out for ord.nary expenses, there is available $12,840,806 in silver, not covered by | certificates; $19,516,820 in greenbacks; $35,582,- | 518 in Treasury notes, and $17,389,955 .n ra- tional bank notes and fract.onal elver de- posits in national bank funds, outstanding checks and drafts, d sbursing officers’ ba!- ances, Post-office accounts and other mieé- cellaneous items. It will thus be seen that, although the Treasury is in the possess‘on of the large nominal cash balance of $230,000,000 in round numbers, it has only $85,000,000 with which to conduct, ord nary transactions, and if the deposits of goid should cont.nue this sum would be sti)] further reduced.

ECKELS’ IDEAS. SAYS SHE IS 127 YEARS OLD. Finance Discussed by the Comptroller of the Currency. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Comptroller Eckels of the Treasury Department to-day eave his views upon the financial condition of the country ‘to the House Committee on Banking and Currency. Several bills intro- duced by the members of the House had been referred to Mr. Eckels for his judg- ment, and, beside giving his views upon the money question in general], he analyzed these. While there was no doubt of the necessity for changes in the Government financial system, Mr. Eckels said, the pub- lic was disposed to attribute too much of the existing troubles to the lack of mon- etary legislation, Overtrade, overproduc- tion and extravagance in private and pub- lic expenditures, partly induced by specula- tion, were largely responsible for the coun- iry’s business difficulties. The day had passed when the volume of money was its most important factor. Improved facilities for transportation and methods of exchange had lessened the importance of a large vo!- ume. Improved credit was more important. The first essential was the stability of pub- lic credit. The apparent reluctance of the people of the United States to redeem their public obligations was the chief cause of distrust. left him to attend to her household duties. Twice she passed the room.

The special committee of the House of Delegates to which was referred Delegate Watson’s high hat bill, met Thursday morn- ing, but gov no further than the reading of the bill. Mr. Watson said the bill had been hastily drawn and did not entirely express his views. He had some amendments to offer about which he first wan'ted to consul? City Counselor Marshall. On his motion the matter was laid over until Mr. Marshall’s return from* Wash.ngton. Mr. Watson was asked what amendmen‘s he would offer.

A Post-Dispatch reporter called at 5625 Pennsylvania avenue, a rickety, tumble- down shanty, the home of a colored family by the name of Mitchell, who are taking care of the old woman, Mrs. Chouteau is a woman whose ap- pearance is in’ perfect keeping with her surroundings. Wrinkled, toothless, almost blind, and very feeble it is not a hard matter to bey lieve that she is somewhere near the age she claims to be. The old colored woman jis well educated and knows a great deal of the early history of St. Louis.

As near as can be learned the expressions of opinion which have poured-in here have indicated that Mr. Gage is a man held in great esteem and that his personal popular- ity dissipates objeetions that have been entertained against the banker for the posi- tion. The opinion here is that there is an almost unan!mous public\judgment that Mr. Gage’s superior ability fer the place cannot be questioned, and it was these matters and not any authoritative utterance that has so strongly crystallized the sentiment that Mr. Gage will bé selected. It is stated now that Col. John Hay, who visited Maj, McKinley yesterday, has been selected for First Assistant Secretary of State, the selection being due to Senator Sherman’s age and declining physica) strength.

Pohle is a shareholder in the Coofer Association, No. 2, and Mrs. Desmoulin has stock in the parent associa- tion. They want the two causes assigned to one division of the court. They first gave a history of the appointment of the receivers by consent of the associations, who were represented by Frank E. Richey. They allege that it was agreed between Richey and Alderson & McEntire, who represented the Deputy Supervisor of Build- ing Associations, that the State Supervisor of Building and Loan Associations should net take charge of the two defendant as- sociations, but they should be committed to the charge of separate and private persons as receivers.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING. Argument on Concessionaire Pat Car- mody’s Plea in Avoidance. Pai Carmody’s “race track case” was up in Judge Spencer's division Thursday, and the “‘hobos’’ who dropped in tto get warm had a “good run for thetr money,” as Judge Krum had the floor in defense of his proposition that the Fair Association has been running a common gaming house. Carmody owes the Association several thousand dollars on his contract for privi- leges for the racing season in the spring of 1896, He declines to pay on the ground that the contract was based on an illegal consideration. Carmody charged that the Fair Associa- tion kept a common gambling house, The matter came up before Judge Spencer on a motion made by the assoctation to strike out these aHegat'!ons as {mmaterial, irrel- evant, scandalous, etc. Jude Krum represented Carmody. He discussed the closing of Garfield Park in Chicago as in line with h‘s theory of the Fair Association case. That park was broken up hecause it had been declared to be simply a gam‘ng house run in violation of the law of Illinois. The same rule would break up the Fair Grounds races. Judge Krum referred pleasantly to the ‘machines called horses,”’ which the Fair Association was in the hab!t of assembling to gratify the tastes of gamblers.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS’ VOTE TO “GOSLOW” INCLUDES PER DIEM. THE SHIP CANAL . SCHEME. Revived Along With Telephone Regu- lation, Woman Suffrage, Pool Punishment, Etc. Special to the Post-Dispatch. , SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Jan, 23.—The mem- bers of the General Assembly, especially those in the House, put on their “best clothes’”’ yesterday and determined that ‘yiothing shall be done én haste this ses- sion. We must consider all matters care- fully and considerately.”’ With this view in mind every attempt to force quick legisla- tion, no matter whether good, bad or in- different, was side-tracked and “given time for consideration.”’ The Republican mafority started this idea and were soon sorry of it, when a few moments later Maj. Buckner, the only col- ored member of the AsSémbly, endeavored to have a Cuban resolution passed. The emt ay committee saw ° themselves cor- nered, but stood their ground and ordered the resolution to “regular order,” and re- ferred it to Federal Relations. A pretext was made that “‘annexation of Cuba to the United States’’ was the objectionable point. This was only a subterfuge. Mr. Hall, the Democrat who originated the Cuban sym- athy business, endeavored to slip his reso- ution in with Buckner’s, but it too was swiped to the Federal Relations Commit- tee. One member stated, as the speaker side-tracked ‘the Democratic resolution: We are going to do this business our- selves and need no help. from you’uns.” This idea will be maintained throughout the session. An inquiring member asked the Speak- er: ‘“‘What about our pay?” which brought forth a series of debates that became gen- eral upon adjournment. It was stated that an old law held that one Assembly could not provide for salary for its own uses, and that many members of the Assembly that enacted the $1,000 session salary were members of this Legislature, and therefore could receive but $5 per diem. These hold- over Senators are kicking like Texas bron- chos, and swear they will receive the same pay as the members of the’ House. The Attorney-General] hay been requested to fur- nish the Legislature with an opinion on the matter, and he says he will do so soon. What few members failed to draw their first half of their $1,000 on the first day of the present session now find themselves short on cash and long on board bills. The Auditor of Public Accounts says he has no money on hand and cannot pay them; that they will be*obliged to wait until April 1, when ‘tthe general tax collections are re- ceived. The members swear they won’t wait another week, but will appropriate enough to give them their hard-earned pay if they have to borrow it from St. Louis or any other old place, - The Blections Committees aré considering the three contests now on hand and prom- ise a settlement some time next week. Wit- nesses are being examined daily by the committees. A recount of all ballots in the contested districts seems probable. If this is done the cases will hang on for some -weeks yet, Several eandbagging bills were introduced yposcereay, which will find a- strong lobby ack of them. Among the bills Introduced were the following: By Senator Bogardusa;A..dill making an appropriation of $35,000 | @ construction of a trunk waterway through the State from Lake Michigan via the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers to the Mississippi river, and to form a homogeneous part of a through route from the Atlantic seaboard via the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The bill provides that the waterway must be constructed of such depth and width that it will accommodate boats of a draft of not less than fourteen feet and the largest Mississippi eteamboats, In further- eg) of = promene) oe the conatruction of this waterway rovides that the Gov- ernor shall be authovined t ‘ commissioner, who shall be neer of recognized who shall make est s and maps and collect pertinent data and report to the next General Assembly, and for such services he shall receive $500 per month. be- ginning mtg A 1, 1897. Referred to the Com. oe bh ear“ and nee. y Mr. rnes: Oo regulate telephones. The bill declares all telephones, Shateen leased, owned or operat by individuals, ¢o-partnerships or corporations, to be com- mon carriers. Bvery telephone company shall permit any other person or corporation operating a telephone line to connect with its wires by any device or system common used for locai or long distance telephones, and shall receive and transmit all messages that may be offered by the connectin m.- pany, and shall repeat, or cause :o be re- ated, as ee “4 ey be necessary @ proper an net delivery of « sage. It is provided that an wap Rago poration desiring to connec pane wae 0 — os may do so by giving five days’ no A. * king tice and fis forbidden, Every person firm or corpora- | tion violating the act shali be fined not less han $5 nor more than $100 for every day the violation shall continue.’ All agreements made in violation of the law are void. Mr. Barnes offered a joint resolution pro- viding for the submission to the people of the following proposed amendment to the constitution: ‘‘Every peraon having resided in this State one year, in the county ninéty days, and in the election district thirty —— next “preced- ing any election therein, or WwW was an elector in this State the first day of April, in the ye of our Lord 1848, or obtained a certificate of naturalization before any court of record in this State prior to the first day of Janu- ary in the year of our Lord, 1870, or who shall be a citizen of the United States above the age of 21 years, shall be entitled to vote at such election.”’ The resolution was referred to the Com- mittee on Judiciary. Its purpose is to enable women to vote at all elections. Mr. Craig offered a joint resolution pro- posing the following amendment to the constitution: , “The right of trial by jury, as heretofore enjoyed, shall remain inviolate, and three- fourths of the jury in civil cases may make @ verdict; but trials of civil cases before justices of the peace by a jury of less than twelve men may be authorized by law.”’ This was referred to the Committee on Judiciary. Speaker Curtis has decided upon these committee chairmen: Appropriations—Needles. Enrolled and Engrossed Bills—Cavanaugh,. atm ee Expenses— Merriam, The following are said to have been agreed upon as Senate committee chairmen: Appropriations—Templeton. Banks and Ranking—Fitzpatrick. Mines and Mining—Edwards. Judiciary—Anthony. , Jaterways and 2 noe se § Aga gaat unicipalities—Willoughby,. Warehouses—MeoeCloud.

Outside of an abundance of new Dills, neither House this morning did any work of importance. Some of the bills intro- duced were to repeal former laws, the most important being the sparrow law and the flag law. It ig stated by the A. P. A. members that the flag law will be amended but never repealed. he manufacturers of flags will have a strong lobby here next week to work against the repeal. The endeavor to petition Congress to make no spent with England has been re- ferred to the Federal Relations Committee, where it will linger. The debate on this by warm and participated in by both par- ties. A generous appropriation was made for a State exhibit to the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. . It was expected that Gov. Tanner would name his military staff this ee but he still dallies with his decision. e will doubtless send in the list to-morrow if not to-night. ) Speaker Curtis says the remainin mittees will be announced next w ; After. a while the real work of the ses- sion will commenca Members hold they will transact no business until they find out what pay they are to get. com- Tanner’s First Appointment.

Allegations in the Motion Will Be Backed Up by Stenograph- er’s Affidavits. The motion for a renearing in the Dues- trow case was filed Thursday morning in Division No. 1 of the Supreme Court at Jef- ferson City. Action will not be taken on it by the court for about two weeks, if the ordinary procedure is observed. The motion begins with the declaration that the members of the division of the court deciding the appeal did not examine the record in the cause, as required by an express statute of this State, but overlooked it together with questions based upon it ipdetaieniidieensees Ce ee ae © ad 5 . ’ duly prescribed by the appellant’s counsel. This ground, it is alleged, is founded on the opinion of the court, which shows that the record has been overlooked by the court. stopped the a a mhahednaen rt the case on the ground that they could get the facts from the record. “When counsel for the State made a state- ment of the case in behalf of respondent,” the motion continues, “appellant’s counsel then and there informed and warned the court, that such statement of facts was un- fair, and not supported by the record in the case, Although so warned, the court adopted as a statement of the facts to be set forth statement prepared by the Attorney-Gen- eral, which statement gave the name of one witness, and the evidence of other witnesses who did not testify; omitted important facts duced at the trial in many important par- ticulars.”’ Then follows a list of omissions of facts alleged to be material, from the statement on which the opinion was based. It does not state, says the opinion, that Juror Phil- : lip Heeger admitted having read newspaper | re orts of three trials and having talked 'a little about the case; that Duestrow had been to Clara Howard’s house but three the year preceding the homi- uestrow arose early on the times durin cide; that oomee he ate little breakfast and was unable to drink any whisky that morning; that dur- ing the day he did not drink to exceed he was jolly while on the way to the house tn the sleigh; that the driver swore he was not drunk, but about half full, and an hour after the homicide. Numerous other instances are also cited. Then the motion quotes from the state- ment the testimony about the _ electrical flashes from Duestrow’s eyes and as to his falling in a fit at his house one day, both of which portions of the statement were printed in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch. The court is asked to designate what wit- nesses gave this testimony. can be tortured by any construction into supporting such a declaration of facts.”’ declares that “Dr. Krebs did not testify at “It is true,” the motion goes on to state, “that Dr. George A. Krebs did testify at a former trial, but the State did not secure his presence at the last trial. He was the only physician interested in or connected with the prosecution who ever even at- tempted to watch Duéstrow when Duestrow did not know he was being observed. No povecen testifying iM this case, as shown y the record on file, claimed that they had observed Duestrow when he was unaware observed Duestrow when Duestrow did not know it? How could the court know the opinion of Dr. George A. Krebs as to the sanity or insanity of Arthur Duestrow?” A number of other inaccuracies are then cited, and the court informed specifically that a reading of the record would have pre- vented the court from making such incor- rect statements. Reference is also made to the statement in the body of the opinion where Katie Hahn is quoted as saying she heard sounds dur- ing the night preceding the homicide pro- ceeding from Mrs. Duestrow’s bed chamber, as though defendant were beating his wife. The record is quoted to show that Katie gave no such testimony with reference to the night before the homicide. Then follows this assertion: “The statement of facts and opin- jon proper contains many other dis- crepancies as to the facts shown in the recurd, but counsel for the de- fense deem it unnecessary to make further citations of such discrepancies. The fore- going are sufficient to demonstrate that the Honorable Judges of this division of the Supreme Court have not examined this rec- ord, or even read it. The opinion omits many important facts, which are strongly in appellant’s favor, and it inserts facts which this Court could not gain a knowl- edge of by a reading of the record.” A rehearing is therefore demanded under the law. The other points on which the motion ts based are not of great importance. An affidavit of A. J. J of the Circuit Court in Franklin County, has been obtained, substantiating ‘the charges as to Linze’a and Yaeger’s testi- mony not having been adduced in the last trial, but on the former trial. mony refers to the ‘“‘electrica] flashes’’ from Duestrow’s eyes and tto the fainting fit incident mentioned above. This affidavit will be filed in the Su- preme Court. Gov. Johnson said this morning in regard to the printed statement that Judge Gantt had called him a liar: “If he said that it was most unbecoming language in a Judge of the Supreme Court to use against an attorney. However, I do not believe he said it. “As to my giving out the contents of my motion I desire to say that I did nothing of the kind. I talked about what I would base it upon, but that is all.’’ NEGLIGENT POLICEMEN.

Guccessful Company Must Build Con- duits All Over Town and Make Its Money Out of the City. Outside bidders will not have a fair chance on the contract for lighting the city with electricity for twenty years from Jan. 1, 1900. The Board of Public Improvements has all along contended that its object in call- ing for bids so early was to make possible the widest competition. But it has drawn Specifications which they think will effect- ually defeat this end. The contract will carry with it no fran- chise to do commercial lighting. An outside company, if it should get the contract, would have ‘to confine itself to the city’s business or else purchase the * franchise of an existing company at per- haps exorbitant terms. A universal conduit privilege goes with the contract, but it is so worded that it does not embrace conduits to carry com- mercial wires, The privilege is extended in the form of an obligation. The contract Bays: ‘“‘All wires, tubes, cables, conduits, conductors of electriciiy and other appur- tenances which are necessary or required to constructed or used in carrying out the provisions of this contract shall be placed wnder ground.” This places the successful bidder under the obligation of laying conduits all over the cily ‘without permitting it to make use of them for commercial purposes. . A company which already has a commer- cial franchise could put the conduits down and make double use of them. The conduit district defined by the Keyes ordinance extends only from the Levee tu Twenty-second street and Wash to Spruce streets, but the district will probably be extended, and for this reason the company which does the municipal lighting for the next twenty yearg will have to go under- ground at once all over the city. No outside or new company can get con- duit privileges for commercial purposes in the present district except by purchase from ‘These franchises will therefore become very valuable, and an out- “de company would probably be asked to an impossible figure. e letting will attract attention all over the country. Already Supervisor of City Lighting A. J. O’ Reilly hag received requests for copies of the form of contract and speci- fications from the following: Century En- gineering ©o., Cleveland, O.; J. Belden Adams, Sangaluc, Mich.; Central Electrical Co., Lexington, Ky.: Telegraph and Tele- hone Service Co., New York, and H. W. ryden, Lafayette, Ind. It is doubtful, though, if they will bid after they have read the contract. The St. Louis people who have applied are E. G. Bruckmann, Charles Sutter, Laclede Gas Co., Edison iNuminating Co. and tthe Citizens’ Electric Light and Power Co. It is possible that all the bids will be higher than the city is able to pay. The gity lighting is now costing about $300,000 a Year, but the Edison people say they are making no money. The new contract will call for a great many more lights. Besides that, the cost of putting the wires under ground will be figured in by the bidders. This will be considerable. Conduits will have to be laid in every street and alley where electric lights are used. They wiil cost a great deal more than overhead wir- 4 If the bids are all too high there will either. be another letting, which will please the Tn pepe, or a horizontal reduction will be ma There will.be great need for honest men in the new Municipal Assembly to be elect- ed at the «pring election. a cee ~~ Ladies’ Foothold Rubbers....... saeco Gc Men’s Foothold Rubbers. .... sacboeseealesca Ladies’ Storm and 23 One-Strap Rubbers ......-+s+-+.+....200 : .45¢ a OT aad aS ~~ $108 iat ag a yy pene Boots, sizes lit While Wheat Soared to the Top Notch, Corn and Oats Slumped Away to Nothing. The lowest price on record in the St. Louis market for May corn was reached Wednesday, when it sold down to 21%4@\% cents. It is generally believed that the bottom has now been reached. The crop season of 1896-’97 has been quite eventful in the way of broken records, and was remarkable from the fact that while wheat reached the highest point in five years, corn and oats both broke the records for low: prices. Cash wheat on December 29, 1896, was bid up to 93% cents, the highest price it had reached since Feb. 20, 1892, wheat on Nov, 29 sold up to 94% cents, which was the highest int reached in five years. The highest price on record in this mar- ket for wheat was in 1866, when what was then known as “choice fall wheat,’’ but is now called “red winter,’ sold on Oct. 31 at er per oon The lowest price reached at year was $2, at which 3 and 17 and March 28. ere ir parc tene ey lowest pesog on record wheat was reached July 30, sold for 47\c. j Te * he lowest prices ever reached on were as follows: July 2, 2 oot ba ten rad oh er bushel, ~epceesber wheat a Sc an ember % bushel, : at wane pet May wheat reached its lowest 29, 1895, when it sold et 50c per Lee nj —_ May 18, 1894, it sold at Wc per bushel, The highest point ever reached in this market on May wheat was $3 per bushel, on May 23, 1556. and May ‘ for cash P curtain went down at Havlin’s Theater fire was discovered in a shed back of 618 Wal- nut street, and only a stone’s throw from the theater.
