REFUSES TO PAY LICENSE. Bouth St. Louis Saloon-Keeper and His Wife Practice the Doc- trine They Preach. Frank GuetH, who keeps a saloon and Brocery at the northwest corner of Missouri avenue and Osage street, is an anarchist, and refuses to pay his excise tax, his water rate and his gas bill. * Back of his bar are two shotguns and a Winchester rifie, all loaded, and across the Girty mirror back of the bar is a threaten- ing and suggestive sign. It is a large butcher cleaver suspended by strings from the top of the mirror. On the broad side of the cleaver is a piece of paper on which. is printed with a lead pencil the words: “Off goes your head!’’ On the sideboard back of the bar are a - fozen boxes of cartridges, ready for imme- fiiate use. The doors of the place are so ar- ranged with fastenings that they can be bar- ricaded in a very few minutes. Guetli was fined $100 Friday by Judge Pea- body for not having paid his saloon license. Guetli was not in court and it was under- stood that he said he would not pay his li- cense. A Post-Dispatch reporter called at Guetl!’s Place. Guetli had gone downtown to pur- chase more ammunition.

Dexter was given the court two years ago by act of the Legislature, since which time has built a modern court-house ata cost of $25,000 to hold the court in. At the November election she asked the people to remove the county seat to this place and she would give the county.a clear title and deed to the court-house free of cost. The proposition was voted on and it failed to earry. The opposition to the eourt here eomes from the county seat, Bloomfield, which is making the fight through Mr. Ward. A bitter fight over this bill will fol- fow. The new court building, without the branch court, would be useless to Dexter. RAILROAD BILLS. South Eleventh. STRICT.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 30.—The Committee on Internal Improvements has decided to make a favorable report on a bill introduced by that committee, prov ding for the etr.ct prohibition of ra- road pool- ing. The title of this bill, wh ch is simply a summary of the provis.on of the proposed law, is as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C,, Jan. 30.—The Sen- ate Committee on Post-offices and Post- roads, to-day concluded its hearings on the Loud bill repealing certain provisions of existing law in regard to second-class mail matter. Gov. Cleaves of Maine made the first argument before the committee to- day. He appeared in opposition to the bill, Saying that if it should become a)law it Adams street. by “An act to regulate railroad corporat:ons, to prevent pooling, unjust discrim_ nation in transportation of freight on railroads in his State and to punish any violation of the new as prescribed.”’ One ature of the bill is to. make it ob- ligatory upon the Railroad Commissionere to fix just rates. This bill is general in ite gecope, and it is stated by the committee that it has noth'ng to do with the other rall- road bills that are pending, that is, the freight and passenger reduction bille. The » members of the committee say that there is peat of enacting all three of these bills into aw. The feature of the bill introduced yester- day providing for the appointment of the Railroad Commissioner by the Governor ‘'s to do away with the board and have but one commissioner, he to receive a salary of es per annum, This would be a saving of , per year in the way of salaries, as at Present there are three commissioners, who each receive a salary of $3,000. Should this bill become a law it will net interfere w th the present commissioners serving out their terms. It is claimed that there is no more meed of having three Railroad Commis- eioners than there is of having three Gov- ernors or three officers in charge of any other department of the State Government, Belz, Broadway and Miami, 300 pounds pork; Frank Fink, 2000 Shenandoah, sack potatoes; Wm.

The money and the wagon and team were taken. pon getting possession of the booty, Ed Perry drove the Sawyer team to Hartville. He arrived there in the forenoon of Thurs- day and a band was playing on the public square. He stopped his team and listened to the music. Then he drove on toward Springfield. On the way he fell in with a oupg man named Arthur Douglass, who ives in Springfield, and they went on to by acclamation, has returned from Jeffer- son City. He says that the bakery bill and the metal polishers’ bill will no dcaubt be- come laws. These measures were fathered by the State Federation of Labor. The bakery bill has been fully explained in the Post-D'spatch. The bill to reform the methods of work in all factories where metal polishing is done is a measure that has already received the sanction of the Committee on Labor of the House. In this State there is no law to compel employers to provide appliances to prevent the fine metall.c dust from fly- ing into the eyes and nostrils of the work- men. Such appliances are in use, and many States have passed laws compelling employ- ers to use them, Under the present system in Missouri a boy begins his work as metal polisher when 12 years old, and at 28 or 30 he may be almost blind, and in no event can he work after he is 40 years old. The fine dust blinds the eyes, and by inhaling it many workmen contract lung trouble and die early. President Harrison says that there is not a particle of truth in the rumor that Lee Meriwether, Labor Commissioner, is trying to gain the political sympathy of the Fed- eration, and that the Federatian adopted a resplution saying that Mr. Meriwether'’s actions had been entirely proper. The Fed- eration simply employed Mr. Meriwether as an attorney to frame several bills to be introduced in the Legislature, and he was paid forthe work. TEETH AND MONEY GONE.

We Evidence Worth Mentioning So Far Produced in the Kansas City Investigation. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. %3%.—Mayor James M. Jones absorbed the time and at- tention of the Senate Police Investigating Committee all day yesterday. Wade Mont- fortt, a Star reporter, was also examined late in the afternoon with reference to the existence of gambling places City. When the committee met after its noon recess a mild sensation was created by the appearance of ex-Prosecuting Attorney WilHam H. Wallace as the new prosecutor of the charges made by Senator Lyons against the Police Commissioners. Chair- man Morton announced that Mr. Wallace represented ‘‘some citizens’’ interested in the investigation, and that he was not em- ployed by the committee. It was stated that ex-State Senator Lyman had been called to Jefferson City by important mat- ters there and that Mr. Wallace succeeded him as the paid attorney of those persons in Kansas City who were interested in se- curing the rejection of Police Commissivon- ers Fyke and Johnson by the State Senate. It ts believed that the true reason for ex- State Senator Lyman’s withdraw:ng was; the. opinion held by the enem.es of Fyke and Johnson that his connection with their cause would seriously injure it on account of hie notorious aff.liat.on with the ra‘l- road lobby. Just what the nature of the ex- State Senator's business at Jefferson City is has not been made public, but the friends of the Police Commissioners assert that it is to assist the railroads there in ra lroad ay pation. Mr. Wallace is regarded as one of the able sawrere of the Jackson County bar, and it is lieved that he was em- ployed principally for the reason that he euppliec ir, \ marked degree the element of respectabiliiy which was so sadly lack'ng | ~fi ‘ the entire term of the committee | ee er aa ‘recess about March 1 in order that Presi- heretofore.

Th> Mayor became greatly excited at times and seemed to be very indignant, because of the —_— treatment received by him at the hands of Attorney Lucas. For the peipece of counteracting the Cc made By Mayor Jones that the Po- lice Board was not non-partisan for the rea- son that the two Democfatic Commissioners ignored him in making appointments, Attor- | ™ ney Lucas brought out the fact that the’ of Public Works, which under the! charter of Kansas City is re four supporters of Mayor Jones. e com- Vemocrats for members of the Board of Public Works were_personal and political friends of Jones and the Democrats em- loyed in the Water-works Department had mn summarily dismissed under his admin- | istration and Republican politicians ap- pointed instead.

Mayor Jones declined to state whether he | was a member of the A. P. A. or not. With reference to the refusal of Chief of Police Irwin to make arrests for gambling the wit- | ness said that one of the causes assigned | Was that the warrants were not sworn to and that arrests could not be made without warrants.

This matter has been carefully con- sidered, and if you will keep a close watch you will see I am putting you right.”” Other members were touched for a further tip, with a result that the following seems to have been agreed upon by these two chief- 8s: reall good bills, especially those calling for appropriations of State funds, will be passed as soon as possible, and the session will ad- journ, It is stated that Speaker Curtis has arranged to have all appropriation bills and measures handed in as s00Nn as p all matters relating to judicial affairs like- wise. When these committees have .got along well in their work he will: announce the remainder of his committees, and just before the session gets ready to adjourn a joint revenue committee will be appointed and adjournment taken sine die. he joint revenue committee will meet during the summer and with Gov.

His defeat would be @ heavier loss to the cause than it is but for the fact that a man of his conviction and power will be as effective, perhaps more effective, out of the Senate than in it. Dubois was beaten by a combination of the Populists and three-fourths of the Democrats in the Idaho Legislature. While unfortunate in some respects, it is entirely logical from the broad point of view presented by new political align- ments. The failure of the efforts made by the National Democratic Committee to break the alliance between the Idaho Democrats and Populists is significant. Three-fourths of the Democrats in the body refused to support Dubois under such urging, and in spite of the fact that he was personally and officially unexcep- tionable, when such support involved breaking with the Populists and a viola- tion of the fusion agreement made last year. Their refusal means much for the “The Wizard of - future potency of what may be called the Rew party which came into politics in * the last campaign. It is hardly possible that Mr. Dubois, or his friends, can regard his defeat from any other point of vjew than this. It means that they cannot continue to pro- claim thermselves memopers of a party which stands for gold monometallism, and be continued in office by the votes of the party united on general. principles which are opposed to nearly everything Involved in Republican partyism. It means ..«at the able and courageous men who are trying to reform the Republican party from within must be brought to see that they must go where their expressed convictions lead them. It may be some consolation to Mr. Du- bois to read, at this time, that letter of Lincoln, written when, after vainly essay- ing to make Whiggery serve the purposes of the new situation, he burned the bridges behind him and wrote: “I will g0 with you, abolition and all.” That was the turning point in Lincoln's fareer and the lesson should not be lost on Mr. Dubois. Mi ~~ emma. 4 —_— BAKERY IN PECTION. _ It would be to the interest of the in- habitants of the large cities for the Leg- islature to pass the bill for the inspection of bakeries and the betterment of the condition of those who work in them. An examination of the Revised Statutes and the Revised Ordinances shows that the bor representatives are right in their claim that the law now jn existence ‘ls inadequate. _As Labor Commissioner Meriwether has @tated, there is really no inspection of bakeries under the present law. Inspec- tion is not specifically provided for, and there are no inspectors to do the work. The only laws directly bearing upon the ™atter are sec. 3876, Revised Statutes, which prohibits the sale of unwholesome food, including bread; sec. 3879, which makes adulteration of food a misdemean- Or; and the provision in the Revised Or- dinances giving the Board of Health suthority.to abate nuisances, which might be construed as authority to proceed against a dirty bakery. oon ' The State law provides specifically fo inspectors of coal oll, tobacco, grain and milk, but not for the inspection of the Most important item of food—‘our daily tb i." The Board of Health, under the ised perneence, haa -eontrol. over ent ad must inspect ye aes 7 + ; rmoney interests which supported him, to |to be im accord with Mr. Cleveland's. bakeries or the bread they produce in an indirect manner and without specific authority.” ~ Much of the bread sold im St. Louis is notoriously inferior, and this is no doubt due in large part to the unwholesome condition of the bakeries and the depress- ing surroundings and exhausting hours expected of the men, Good bread can hardly be looked for without an improve- ment in these particulars. See STREET RAILWAY ASSESSMENTS. The House Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred the bill em- powering the State Board of Equalization to assess street railroad properties, has decided to report the bill favorably. No other decision could have been ex- pécted. The fact that a section of the lobby did not appear before the committee to oppose the medsure is not important, The committee, of which Mr. Ward, who introduced the bill, is Chairman, would have taken the action it has if the entire lobby had appeared.against it. The cor- porations interested are not, however, seeking argument on the merits of the case. They are seeking rather to avoid it. The record, as made up and admitted, is against them. It«shows decreasing as- sessments On mileage, and other tangible evidence of value; at times when mileage has steadily increased and the revenues of these corporations have been as stead- ily growing. It must not be assumed, however, that the interests affected by the Ward bill have abandoned the fight. They will seek, in indirect ways, to escape the pay- ment of their just;obligations to the gov- ernment which protects their properties and. gives them their value. They will be found, perhaps, supporting the bill just introduced by Senator Lancaster, substi- tuting for the present Boards of City Equalization appointed by the courts boards to be appointed jointly by the Governor of the State and the Mayors of the cities where such boards are to be created. Such a law would destroy responsibility by dividing it. It would be a distinction without a difference. The State Board of Equalization is directly responsible to the people. Moreover, Missouri is now the only one of the great States in the Union which has not vested in the State Board of Equalization the power to assess the properties of public corporations hold- ing municipal franchises. . Other States have found city Boards of Equalization ineffective to serve the best public ends. The Ward bill proposes no experiment. It voices a public demand for more equal taxation. THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS. The Reed-Dingley -programme. for.the extra session of Congress is to pass a revenue law and adjourn. Nothing more should be expected. The Republican party stands for high pro- tection. That is its historic party and public policy, While the late campaign was fought on the financial question it was the Democratic party which stood for a change of policy and the Republican which stood for maintaining the gold standard. The election of Mr. McKinley can be interpreted in no other way, so far as the public finances are concerned, than to let the finances alone. But Mr. McKinley’s candidacy was dis- tinctly a demand for a new tariff. His public personality and the platform on which he ran alike demanded a change in that regard. His election was a man- date from the people to revise the tariff schedules. If Mr. McKinley believes sincerely; as we believe he does, that his tariff nos- trum is a sure cure for all the ills we are heir to, then he cannot object to the Reed-Dingley programme, But he will have the national bankers demanding the power to issue their notes as money, the railroads demanding the repeal of the anti-pooling law, and other consolidated deal with. These will insist that the tariff barons shall not have all the swag. There will be halcyon and historic times in the Republican Congress, cnkusiiiitnaittibibabiniad The Pennsylvania postmaster who has held his office fifty-two years and can still hold it because he is a. pet of the department will do well to keep his finan- cial views to himself if they happen not The President is a man who would even suspect silver hairs.

An Ill Bird. From the Marshall (Mo.) Democrat-News. Mr. Dave Francis’ personal organ, and one in which he owns stock, the St. Louis Republic, says that he may be offered the same position under McKinley that he holds under that other Republican, Grover Cleve- land. Why not, as the present Cabinet is f&is much Republican as any he could get and they showed it by their work and votes at the last election. The Democrat-News said as much immediately after the 3d of November, and now the Republic is taking it up for Dave Francis, the renegade who has disgraced Missouri by licking Cleve- land’s boots after saying he would support Mr. Bland when he thought that Bland would be the nominee of the Chicago Con- vention. It’s an ill bird that fouls its own nest, and Francis is the illest bird in the whole flock. Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New: York Press.

His condition was elightlty improved during his first month in the Crescent City. Two weeks ago an at- tack of cirrhos's of:the iiver confined him to his bed. His family here was tele gre hed. His daughters, (Mrs. Hedley V. ‘ooke and Miss Edith Turner, were on their way to ‘New Orleans ‘when he died. Capt. Turner had long been prominent in local realty and financial circles.

STUART’S PARTNER OUTLINES THE PLANS FOR THE CONTEST. NO TOWN AS YET CHOSEN. Stuart Will Start From Texas for ’Frisco in a Day or Two—Gen- eral Sporting News. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. ¥%.—Wm. Kenyon Wheelock, the partner of fight- promoter Dan Stuart, is here fresh from the scene of his triumph in Nevada. Wheelock said yesterday that he was thoroughly sat- isfied ‘with all that had transpired at Carson and that Corbett and Fitzsimmons would meet in the ring in that State beyond the shadow of a doubt. He said decisively that neither Stuart nor himself had given the slightest intimation as to what particular place in Nevada would be selected for the fight. “Of course, all the towns up that way are bringing’ pressure to bear, but a whole lot of things will have to be considered in lo- cating the arena. Wvery one can rest as- sured that no decision will be reached in that direction until Mr. Stuart puts in an a ance. I expect he will be along in- side of a week and then the matter of a ring site will be taken up.” Wheelock said that in all probab'‘lity there would be one other contest in audition to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons match. “We will very likely have a two-days’ programme,” he said. ‘‘Mr. Stuart is anx- ious to get some one to go against Peter Maher, and if Goddard were in this country now, he would undoubtedly be given the chance. We thought of Sharkey, and it may be that an effort will be made to in- duce the sailor to meet Maher. We heard that Sharkey is not looking for a fight, but as it has been frequently said that he bars nobody, I hardly see how he can refuse a chance of this kind. Anyhow, if he does not think well of it, we will find some one € se. ‘"The contest between Corbett and Fitz- simmons will take place by daylight,’”’ said Wheelock. ‘“‘The intention is to have it be- tween noon and 3 o’clock in the afternoon, George Siler of Chicago will be the referee, the principals having selected him at the time the match was arranged.”’ STUART TALKS.

I deserved what I got. I hit her because I was mad and didn’t know what I was doing. I just slapped her, though, and I think she fainted from the excitement, and not from the blow. “IT talked back to her because I didn’t think I had been treated right. I don’t know what they will do to me at school. I will go back Monday.” THE SWANHILDA DUE. Detectives Ara en the Watch for Mur- derer Butler.

FROM COLORADO'S icra: | TOR, WHO IS IN EUROPE. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT. The Senator Writes to J. F. Sanders of His Efforts in the White Metal’s Behalf. Ed O, Wolcott, United States Senator from Colorade, who is a McKinley Republican, is now in Paris on his European tour for.the purpose of arranging for an International Bimetallic Conference, Senator Wolcott's right-hand man in Col- orado is Jacob F, Sanders, who led the Col, orado delegation in the National Republican Gonvention. He did not walk out with the Teller faction, and was re-elected National Republican Committeeman, Mr. Sanders is stopping at the Southern Hotel. He is on his way to Hot Springs,’ Ark., for a rest of two weeks, Mr. Sanders ‘has just received a letter from Benator Wolcott, and he has some interest- ing inside facts in regard to the movement for an International Bimetallic Conference, which he gave in an interview with a Post- Dispatch man. What he says bears the weight of authority. “Senator Wolcott wrote me that he re- ceived a magnificent reception in London,’ said: Committeeman Sanders. “He finds cértain conditions existing, however, which wilithave to be overcome before a successful international conference on the money ques- tion can be held. I refer to the fact that ali ‘the bankers of London are gold men, beceuse it is to their interest to be 80, and hence they are net in favor of a conference which has for its objct the restoration of silver to its former place as a siandard coin me of the world. “But there tb a way of overcoming this opposition, Lord Balfour is a strong bi- metallist. and he has assured Senator Wol- cott that the United States, by gaining the eupport of France and Germany, can take the initiative and call .a conference, and thereby can force England to come to terms. “Outside of London the influence in favor of bimetallism is exceedingly strong, even in the great manufacturing centers like Birmingham. Once three great nations having the commercial power and prestige of the United States, France and Germany unite and agree to redeem silver as a mon- ey metal, the London bankers can no long- er contro! or hold back the oe senti- ment in KEngland. Lord Balfour. knows what he is saying, and his v.ews carry great weight. ‘Tl -believe that Senator Wolcott is now roceeding on the theory and advice as aid down by Lord Balfour and other prom- inent bimetallists of England. The Sena- ter has gone to Paris to consult. with the jeading men in French affairs, and he will s00n leave there for Berlin, if he can se- cure an agreement that France and Ger- many will join with the United, States in an international bimetallic conférence, why, v4 ts certair that one will-.be called, and, furthermore, England will. have. to dro oute tine and give silver an equal show wit g0 “Some doubt has been expressed in certain quarters as to whether McKinley woutd eali an. international conference on the money question. On that point I can say thia: Before Jeaving. for Isurope, Senator Wolcott held a long conference in private with Maj. McKinley, and he, no doubt, sounded .the President-elect. and obtained a thorough understanding that, if the Euro- pean mission was successful, a conference wold be' called. ~ “Senator Wolcott. is one of the brightest men .in«the Un'ited: States Senate to-day, and he would not be so foolish as to make this.tour in. England if he had not first re- ceiyed a promiee from McKinley that an in- ternational money conference would. be cabled, provided the .proper arrangements cauld be. made abroad.’’ In .regard.to the feeling of the people in Colorado. towards Senator Wolcott, Com- mitteeman Sanders said: “First, it must be understood that every- aot in Colorado is for free silver. The eottites are. known there as the Mc- y. Republicans, not meaning that they favor a gold standard, but implying that they . conscientiously ‘favor international rs) etallism and believe in remaining in- the regular Republican ranks to carry oat the desired reform, There is the Teller faction, known as the Silver Republicans, the Po bolted the party. The Democrats and he Ses are free silverites. “Al posing forces charged Senator Wolcott with being a gold man during the campaign because he refused to bolt: but he is as strong a silver man as Teller or anyone else. At the last State Republican aperven Gan at Pueblo, in May, the feeling st Senator Wolcott was then 60 strong that “his friends, including myself, had hard werk to prevent the introduction of a rea- olution passing bitter censure upon him for the stand he bad taken, both in the Senate and in, the State. fais the ayn ator fought hard during the 6 feeling towards him = has cha ‘uarnite. The people are wait- Biron to see the outcome of his mission to Durope. The United States Senate has oma the internationai bimetallic con- a ey bill: by & large mejority, and that makes it appear that Senator. Wolcott is ed‘in a sincere movement for eil- mar ‘As Wolcott remained inside the regu- lar Republican par?¥, and as Teller walked ~ ge 3 eople of Colorado are now’ com- leve that Wolcott is in a better position than Teller to do them good. ’ vhindy Bly «vom ogy may | be remarked, _Siory in the organization of the present t Legis eleture Of course, Teller = cee v ited States Senator, There was bra . olnee no fight made against him for Telve nen ion) ¢ the Pro! halt iee tog Waa (the ar ined with t mocrats agains inley Repudlican Wolcouiten) thd the Po ulisis in a-fi fleht ig @ State Legislature, Th was so close that three nin the sah and three in the House ecided the plan of organization, The Wolcottites and the Woln ists whipped the a badly.

During the trial Judge Morris, attorney for the defense, called one witness an un- mitigated liar, and then informed the court that the prosecution was a conspiracy to injure. the defendants and thus benefit the complainant in his suit for a divorce.

Kirkwood Road Manager Recognized ceiver for the Road. J. D. Houseman of the St. Louis & Kirk- wood Electric Railway may be cited before the United States District Court for con- tempt. An effort will at least be made to make him explain why’ he recognized ex- Senator G. A. Wurdeman as receiver for the road after Wurdeman had been ousted by the Supreme Court, and in the face of an injunction issued by Judge Adams of the United States Court. P Ex-Judge Henry 8. Priest, counsel for Ed- win F. Leonard of Chicago, appeared on fore Judge Adams Saturday and asked tha a receiver be appointed for the road. ‘ He stated that he was prepared to § ow that Houseman or A ae -typohncnde or both, were in cantempt of cour Wurdeman was appointed receiver of the road by Judge Hirzei of the St. Louis Coun- ty Cireuit.Court on motion of the attorneys for Mrs, Gussie Campbell Spencer, who ha secured judgment ee ys company for 000, but was umable to collect oy company appealed fram Judge Hir- zel’s decision and took the case before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is- sued an order ousting Wurdeman, Meanwhile Edwin F. Leonard, a Chicazo judgment creditor, secured an injuction in the United States District Court to prevent the company from making any transfer ef its property. He also filed a motion for the appointment of a receiver. Tepugh the company had fought the ap- pointment of, Wurdeman, they feared ‘that a receiver appointed by Judge Adams would be still more unfriendly to their in- terests. They therefore recognized Wurde- man and placed him in charge of the road Friday night. He went to the power-house armed with a letter from Attorney Albert Edwards, who represents the Highland Scenic Railway Co., lessees of the St. Louis & Kirkwood line. He deposed Supt. Sloss and appointed W. H. McClelland superintendent and general man- a Supt. Sloss consulted an attorney. He was told that Wurdeman had no authority to take charge of the line. Sloss went back to the power-house and notified McClelland that he would not surrender the manage- ment of the road without an order from Court, He reinstated the men discharged by MeClelland. Edward Hidden, attorney for Houseman, says thea pointment of Wurdeman was reg- ular. He justifies it by saying that the Su- preme .Court had only ousted Wurdeman pending the hearing of the case. He says that as Houseman has withdrawn his ap- peal, Ate Hirzel’s decision is now effective and Wurdeman is legally the receiver of the road. Judge Adams will cite all the parties before him, QUESTION OF VERACITY. Lawyers for Louis England Accuse Each Other of Bad Conduct. Philip Deuker, who was fined $50 and given a ten days’ jail sentence Friday for refusing to testify against Louis England, whom he -hhad head arrested for larceny, was brought into the: Court of Criminal Correc- tion Saturday. He had. spent the night in prison and, was docile and communicative. He said he refused to testify. because the money stolen,from him had been restored to him by England’s mother, and Attorney Joseph Furling, counsel for England, told him not to testify. Attorney Furling. interrupted the exam- ination. e said Deuker’s statement, as it applied. to him, was false and demanded that the matter be investigated at once, Judge Murphy said Mr. Mulvihill would in- vestigate it., Mr. Furling didn’t want to wait. The investigation must be made at once and in open court. He was.ordered to sit down and did so. Then Attorney James M. Rollins, England's other lawyer, said he knew nothing of Deuker’s a not to give evidence. Deuker said t was true. Furling took his associate's remarks as a reflection on him. . He rose to his feet and, trembling with passion, said he did not a Ager: to be,.made a scapegoat of. Ali he new about Deuker's purpose was that Rol- lins told him (Furling) before the case was called that Deuker would not testify. He aeked no questions, as he didn’t want to know what influence had been used. Rollins came into the case Friday. Judge Murphy instructed Mr. Mulvihill to investigate the erge and prefer charges in proper form against an person against whom he might find evidence of suborning a witness. Attorney Rollins waived examination for Engiand, who was held for the Grand-jury in the sum of $1,000. MURPHY TURNED HIM LOOSE Because His Victim Was Too Sick to Appear Against Him. A doctor’s certificate that a prosecuting witness was unable to appear in court was not sufficient cause for Judge Murphy to grant a continuance in the case against William McCarty, charged with assault and battery. he case came up for hearing Friday. Mr. Hanke, who had been subpoenaed in a Justice of the Peace Court, was unable to represent his wife: im the case. He put the certificate in the hands of a lawyer, who resented it to Mr. ulvihill. He in _ his urn requested a continuance, but it was gefused. McCarty was discharged, He walked from the court room a free man, while his victim lay sick in bed at her home, 1726 Olive street, from the blow she claims that he dealt her. Think He Is Hogging It.

St. Louis National and Third National Fail to Come to Terms. It was stated in banking circles Saturday that the plan to consolidate the St. Louis National Bank and the Third National Bank had been permanently abandoned. The rumor that the two banks were to consolidate had been going the rounds for some time and had caused a great deal of interest in financial and commercial circles, For nearly two years rumors have been circulated periodically that the St. Louis National was to be consolidated with sdme other bank. It was said at first that the St. Louis National and the Commercial would merge. Arrangements were well un- der way when Louis C. Nelson, then Presi- dent of the St. Louis National, objected to the terms of consolidation proposed by the Commercial people, according to the stories current at the time. Shortly afterwards Mr. Nelson stepped down and out as President of the bank, John Nickerson, formerly a director, taking his place. Mr. Nelson was elected Vice-President. After this change it was said that the two banks would certainly be consolidated. :or.—:0:—':0:-——: 04 “0 :—:0:—:0 :——:0:—:0:—:0:-—-:0:—:0 :-— 0:0; eo 0100: 0 ( goes to the Council, where little opposition is expected. The Terminal Association is caught in @ quibble of its own raising. The ordinance under which the city va- cated to it Ramdolph street, Poplar street, Clark avenue, Eugenia street and Walnut atreet, from Highiteenth street to Twentieth, provided that in consideration thereof the company should contribute $150,000 toward the cost of a bridge over Clark avenue, “from Eighteenth to Twentieth street. Probably by design no provision was made for roaches. The Board of Public Improvements pre- pared plans for a bridge with straight ap- proaches extending to Moore street on the east and Twenty-first street on the west. The Terminal peophe refused to pay the 000. “The ordinance calls for a bridge from Eighteenth to Twentieth street,’’ they said. ‘This is a bridge from Moore street to Twenty-first street. We don’t care for the money, but we would be violating the ordinance. We c@uid never do that.” The city fathers were sorrowful. They led to the City Counselor. He said the Terminal people had all the law on their side. The engineers of the Board of Public Improvements set themselves the task of checkmating the lawyers of the Terminal on Association. Two plans were brought forwagd. Both were for a bridge from Pighteenth to Twen- tieth street. In one elevators at each end were to take the place of approaches. In the other the hen ng were to run at right angles to the bridge. he dignified members of the board pon- dered with repressed hilarity over these two delirious plans. The latter was finally select- ed, an ordinance drawn up and sent to the Municipal Assentbly. The House passed it e ordinance is a transparent bluff. It is not pretended to be anything else. The city must pass an ordinance for the bridge yy begin work before it can claim the $150,- ‘ is will be done. Theordinance calls for a structure to cost $151, The $1,000 resents the city’s share of the expense. ork will be contracted for to that amount, It will be begun. A formal demand will then be made for the $150,000. If it is not paid sult will be brought. The Terminal people will never permit matters to go that far, though. They are fairly caught in their own trap, and they will. acknowledge it with as much grace as possible and ask for quarter. They would ly pay twice the amount rather than ave the bridge built. It would compel them to tear down thirty-five feet of their *train shed which they built on Clark ave- nue without permission, also a building in the southwest corner of the shed. Light and access would be cut off on both sides of the shed. The bill has had a hard time in the Committee on Public Improvements. Two of the members, Wilcox and Pauley, were ecandalously opposed toit. They made this ‘go plain that at the hearing Friday the property-owners several times broke out with exclamations of reproach. Wilcox was openly accused + 4 a. Peroni and Pat Walsh of violating his oath and betraying the people in favor of a pri- vate monopoly. Such strong feeling was shown toward him ‘that he finally felt called upon to ex- plain a ae He made a spread-eagle speech. e was in favor of a bridge, he gaid, but not the one contemplated in the 1 Pauley said he opposed it because if no compromise were effected the bridge with ed approaches would have to be built. ae the compromise should be ef- rst. ke ent MoMath looked very hard at him “As soon as the ordinance js : the Terminal people will come run- : to us with compromise propositions. e cannot collect the money from them un- til the ordinance is passed. They will not talk meron ise before the ordinance is . They rely on their power to prevent Pp ’* ts eee. Mr. Pauley blinked his eyes and turned red in the face.’ The statement was repeatedly made that there was no intention to build the bridge provided for in the ordinance. Mr. Wilcox took advantage of this to charge the city with acting in bad faith After the committee adjourned he said if the Terminal company could prove what been stated in the committee meeting it could eecape payment. President cMath is authority for the pperenenes will not be built. He said: the company not propose a reasonable compromise we will tear down the end'of the shed and Dbulld the bridge from Fighteenth street to Twentieth street, expending the whole $150,- 00. We will then build any kind of ap- proaches we please.”’ If the company comes to time two plans will be considered. One is for a bridge over Spruce street, connecting the Eigh- teenth and Twenty-first street bridges. The other is for a twenty-four-foot beitrs over kK avenue, with approaches forty feet The train sh would then not be prarted. The footway on the north side the shed.

ONIN BARNEST. M. & 0. TAKES FIRST SLASH AT THE GRAIN SCHEDULE. OTHER LINES WILL FALL IN. Ample Evidence at Hand to Prove That Cutting Is Being Done on the Quiet. The Mobile & Ohio Railroad has served notice that, taking effect Feb. 3, it will make a cut of 5 cents per 100 pounds in the rates on corn and oats from St. Louis to Southeastern interior points and a cut of 4 cents per 100 pounds to the coast. This was done to meet the cut made by the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham line and is a formal announcement that the grain rate war is on in earnest. The trouble has been brewing for some time. While there has been quiet cutting for several months, this ts the first move in the way of open cutting by the St. Louis lines, and comes in the face of instructions received from New York by eastbound agents that there would be no further re- duction in grain rates to, the seaboard. The railway officials are extremely reti- cent on the subject, but all intimated that the M. & O.’s cut would be met. Assistant General Freight Agent Joseph M. Denyven of the Mobile & Ohio, when asked about the cut, at first professed pro- found ignorance, but finally admitted that his road had given motice of a reduction. He said they were forced to take action on account of the cutting of the Memphis lines, and the diversion of grain to the ulf ports. The rates, he stated, would apply only to Southeastern points. The Illinois Central has been for some time making a rate of 15 cents from Chicago points to New Orleans on corn and a rate of 13 cents from St. Louis to New Orleans. Southwestern dines were cutting rates to Galveston and a rate of 15 cents on corn for e from Chicago to the seaboard has been in effect lately. The rate_on other grain and grain products from Chicago to New York is ® cents and to Baltimore 3 less.

The old City Committeemen were given the recognition they asked for, and that was the secretary and the sergeant at arms, It was generally conceded that the chairman would be selected from among the new members at large, and hence the elec- tion of Col. Ed Devoy to that position gives eati:faction. The new ward members, as well as the nine ‘“‘at large’’ members, were not dis- sed to show any ill feeling towards the old committeemen. Robert Fox, who had served as vice-chair- man of the old committee, was unanimously elected as first vice-president of the new committee, while Henry Spaunhorst and John A. Lee, “at large’ members, accepted the places of second and third vice-presi- dents, respectively. Not only was A. C. Maroney of the old committee made pe heed | but Isaac Con- ran, the secretary of the o d committee, was retained as assistant secretary. Al gether, the new members of the committee seemed to feel that they were placed in a delicate position in regard to their at- titude towards the old committeemen, and they did not hesitate to show their confl- dence in the old workers by giving them — of the best offices in the new com- mittee. Chairman Ed Devoy, through an interview in the 6 o’clock edition of Friday’s Post- Dispatch, promptly gave out the information that he was not im favor of drawing a line between the goldbugs and the free silver men in the Democratic party in this oy He expressed his belief that the gates should be thrown open and all Democrats be per- mitted to step into the party ranks and work together for Democratic victory in the spring campaign. He said that national is- sues should not be allowed to divide the party in a city campaign. All Democrats, of every shade of financial belief, should unite and try to make St. Louis a Democratic city. This declaration by Chairman Devoy has caused considerable comment, and it has already gone down the line that “harmony’”’ is the password. With all factions united, the Democrats to-day do not wear long faces when they think of entering the spring campaign. Democracy is on a new basis in this city, and that fact has already in- spired new hope among all the old workers and its enlisting the enthusiasm of the busi- ness men who have refrained for several years from taking a hand in politics. THE BLOW AT BUTLER. Politicians Discuss the Resolution Tel- egraphed to Gov. Stephens. The adoption of John A. Lee’s resolution by the new Democratic City Committee Fri- day has since been the subject of lively discussion among politicians. The resolu- tion was, in effect, that no man who had not voted the entire Democratic ticket at the recent State election should be appoint- ed to the office of President of the Board of Election Commissioners. While no name was mentioned iff the resolution, it was well known that Col. so Mag sticking a harpoon into James J. utler.

Perkins said he would be on hand, and he was. When the guards opened the cells and had passed on, Pérkins clad only ina pat of trousers strode into Shelton’s cell. e had no second and said he needed none. Shelton had stripped to the waist and was ready for the mill. His cellmate, Bud McNeil, was to act as his second. No time was wasted in preliminaries, nor was there any handshaking. Shelton put up his hands and Perkins went for him. Shelton feinted and Per- kins swung with his right. He landed with terrific force on Shelton’s left jaw. Shelton fell and the fight was over. The knock-out was complete and Shelton was ni ate world. MoNiel didn’t like the brevity of the set-t and he smashed Perkins in the eye, mae kins toppled over and McNie]l jumped on him and was belaboring him with his fists when the jail guards, attracted by the 7 we on the scene. e fighters were separated and pl in the dungeon, Then some attention nan paid to Shelton. He was still unconscious. Dr. Thompson was summoned from the Dispensary. He applied restoratives and soon Shelton came to. Dr. Thompson completed his investigation and found that the negro had sustained a fracture of the jaw. he doctor said Fitzsimmons ecéuld not have delivered a more effective blow. It caught Perkins against the jugular vein and the point of the Jaw and made a com- plete fracture of the lower jaw. Perkins seems proud of his prowess. “‘The nigger challenged me to fight him and I ee +? os he. “He ouseed me all night and called me names, an ]’ —— — . elton has little to say. ‘‘We fight,”’ he said. “Perkins said he ae break my jaw, and he did it. He only hit me once, but that was enough.”’ Idle Cigarmaker Kills Himself. Frederick Rausch, a German cigarmaker committed suicide at Kassebaum, St. Louis County, Friday, by taking paris green.

Butler’s ballot showed that he had scratched a num- ber of Democrats, and had voted for their Republican opponents. This news has been public for almost a month. Therefore, the Lee resolution was 4 understood by everybody. Charles D. Mc- Clure, who was a member of the recent In- vestigating Committee, and who voted for its majority report, made great haste to second the resolution with much _ earnest- ness in the committee meeting. That fact was commented upon as signifying that the gilt-edged nine ‘‘at large’’ would oppose the en of “‘Jim’’ Butler. owever, the new committee adopted the resolution unanimously, and to make the ac- tion more telling ordered the resolution to be telegraphed to Gov. Stephens imme- diately. is, it is said, placed the new City Committee on record as not being extremely friendly to Col. Ed Butler. It was generally conceded Friday night that James J. Butler had an uphill fight to secure the appointment on the Election { Board. Among a few knowing ones it was re out that Gov. Stephens had told a t. Louisan, in so many words, that “Jim” Butler would not be apoaentes, It was sald that Gov. Stephens had given the impression that no politician would be appointed to the place. : herefore, the ward workers say that “a man from the upper air and solar walk will get the plum.” It is said that no man whose name has been mentioned among the politicia the place will be appointed. ° wine: LOVE SAYS IT’S A LIE.
