The Flagler Railroad Interests to Be Given Half the Land for Colo- nizing Work Done. Eperial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24.—The tes- twnony of the Perrine land grant investiza- tion is all tn. Thursday night the commit- tee will meet again to hear the arguments of the attorneys representing the settlers, the Perrine heirs and the Secretary of the Interior. Then it will formulate its report to the Senate. The testimony taken by the committee has developed enough to show that the - proofs of settlement of the lands were se- cured by the Flagler railroad and the Per- rines by dubious methods; that the Florida East Coast Railway Co., which is to get one-half the lands, used coercion and intim- dation towards settlers in the interest of the Perrines, and that since last March, when the contract between the Perrines and the Flagler road was entered into, proofs of settlement have been made by set- tlers who have not yet been on the land a year and who were sent there by the rail- road company. It is quite probable that there will be two reports from the Investigation Com- mittee. One will recommend that Congress stay its hand and let the courts decide whether the patent is valid. It will also declare that the Secretary of the Interior committed an error in ‘ssuing a patent to all the lands. While proof of settlement of a part of the lands is clear and undoubtedly valid, it is evident that the terms have not been complied with as to the entire 23,000 acres. Senator Vilas will undoubtedly present a report stating that the patent is all right and is good for the whole tract. TANNER’S QUARTER MILLION. The House Defeats the Bill to Allow Him to Borrow Money. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | SPRINGFIELD, III., Feb. 24.—Aftera fight in the House on the casual deficiency bill, allowing the Governor, Auditor and Treas- urer to borrow $250.000, it was defeated by a vote of 70 ayes to 47 nays. The Demo- crats split on the bill, but there were so many Republicans opposing it that enough votes could not be mustered for the passage of the measure. COONEY ON TRIAL. He Was Mixed Up in the Fair Will Contest Controversy. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 24.—The Grand-jury now has the criminal charges against Notary J. J. Cooney under investiga- tion. There are three charges of perjury against Cooney and evidence has been taken on but one. The evidence, in the opinion of Judge Cook, when he denied the motion to dismiss the charge not only tends to show that Cooney committed perjury when he made the sworn statement that Fair ac- knowledged the execution of Mrs. Cravens’ pencil deeds on Sept. 27, 1894, but that he com- mitted forgery in attaching those acknowl- edgments to the deeds, FIVE SKELETONS FOUND. One Lately Buried Gave Indications of Foul Play. RIVERTON, N. J., Feb. 24.—While work. men were digging a trench on the property of Henry C. Dreer, near the Delaware River front, they unearthed five human skeletons. A physician who examined the skeletons said that one gave evide recent burial. The skull was — — dead seemed to have been fractured by a blow. The spot where they found them is just back of the Faunces fish cabin, which is by shad fishermen in the spring. SOME MORE PROSPERITY.

The employes have been looking for a shut- down, Several other factories in New Eng- land States are now closed, among them being the Alice rubber factory at Woon- Bee pocket the United States Rubber Co.’s plant 2 Millville, Mass.; the Candee factory at ew Haven, and a portion of the Goodyear r plant at Naugatuck, Conn.

In September Mrs. Gamo returned to Kansas City with her father, G. A. Kraft, and kidnapped the children, forcibly taking them from Mrs. A. J. Lilly, in whose care Gamo had left them. In the scrimmage Mrs. Lilly was seriously injured by Kraft, who was later sued for $5,000 damages by her. The kid- | nappers were overtaken at Glasgow, Mo., brought back here and Kraft locked up for felonious assault. He gave bond for $500 and with his daugh- ter and her children slipped away to New York City, where the children now are. Immediate steps for their recovery will be made by Gamo, ALL MAY REJOICE.

The Democrats will vie with the Re- publicans in the celebration, but from dif- ferent standpoints, the Republicans over the incoming of McKinley and the Democrats over the outgoing of the arch-traitor Cleve- ‘and.

Duke, President of the American Tobaceo Co., was one of the first to appear to-day in the room of the Joint Legislative Committee on Trusts. He brought with him the labor statistics asked for yesterday by Senator Lexow. The papers show that prior to the incorporation of the American Tobacco Co., in 1890, the several companies gave employ- ment to 5,895 tobacco workers. To-day the number of employes in the employ of the company is 9,194, making an increase since the date of consolidation of 3,299 hands. In calling to order Chairman Lexow said: It is the intentién of the committee to in- vestigate the so-called Coal Trust to-mor- row. Charges have been made that the coal combination is the most vici@&s trusi that exists, and certain newspapers have made specific charges of the existence of this combination or trust.“ President Duke then took the stand. He Said that the capital stock of the New Jer- sey concern prior to consolidation was §$10,- 000,000, which, with the acquisition of the various companies, was increased to , 000, 000. This was subsequently raised to $79,830,000. Good will, such as patents and trade marks, cost $6,000,000. ‘ “How much did Allen & Ginter receive?” “The same as the Duke company, 7, 407,000.“ The witness said that Kinney & Co. re- ceived $4,999,000 in stock, with a guarantee of $1,500,000 in live assets; S. W. Kimball & Co., 2,499,000, and the Goodwin company, $2,- 499,000 for common and preferred stock. Hod much was issued for the live assets of the various companies?’’ About $5,000,000 worth of stock.“ And how much for good will?“ Nineteen million nine hundred and ninety thousand.“ JUDGE MURPHY STILL SORE. Raps a Witness at the Expense of the Innocent Reporters. In Judge Murphy's court Wednesday Rob- ert Steel was charged with forcible entry and detainer. The Judge went out of his way to slur the newspapers, when he turned on one of the witnesses and told him to shut u p. “You know no more about the law than some newspaper reporters, and you are not qualified to discuss this matter.“ Steel owned a house in an association. He ot behind in hs dues and it was sold to J. Lohmeyer, who brought suit for posses- sion in Judge Hanley’s court and won. The Constable who was to eject the Steels ap- pointed Michael N special deputy. Cavanaugh ejected the Steels, but they moved back. Then a suit for forcible en- try was brought in Judge Murphy’s court. The defense showed that Cavanaugh was not a regular deputy, and that his appoint- ment had not been registered as the law re- quires, Judge Murphy held that the eject- ment in the first place was not lawful, and that Steel could not be ilty of the charge of forcibly 1 a place from which he had not been legally ejected. It was when the Court and counsel were arguing the legal questions involved that Cavanaugh endeavored to explain, and he was shut off by the Judge. Steel was dis- charged. | | Both Republicans and Democrats * \ CIVILIZATION VS. THE. SAVAGE. eee — — Solution of the Indian Trouble. (A Suggestion to the Nevada Authorities.) OLD RIVER CAPTAIN DEAD.

They Pop Up in Suits in the Circuit Court. Alleged fraudulent deeds of trust which were placed on the market about a month ago, resulting in newspaper exposures, fig- ure in two suits filed in the Circuit Court Wednesday. 7 The first was instituted by George N. Roeder against Charles F. Vogel and Chas. C. Stevens to cancel a deed of trust on prop- erty in Hickory street. Vogel was made trustee in the deed, without his knowledge, in behalf of Charles C. Stevens, and the names of Roeder and W. J. Lewis, the no- tary named in the deed, were forged. The other suit was filed by Catherine Merz with Vogel and Edward J. Dozier as defendants, to cancel a deed of trust on roperty in Compton avenue, in favor of Dosier, with Vogel as trustee. f In this deed, too, Vogel’s name was used without his knowledge. The forgers sold the fraudulent deeds of trust to whomsoever would purchase and it was some time before they were discovered. RUSSELL MONTGOMERY.

DIDN’T HAVE HER CONSENT. He Is Nineteen and He Wedded Louise | Lejunon, Who Is Sixteen and Ingenious. Mrs. Johanna Huncke of 1518 North Six- teenth street was dismayed Wednesday morning to find the name of her 19-year-old son Fred in the list of marriage licenses. At first she argued a mistake had been made, but the name of the bride, Miss Louise Lejunon, of 1108 North Twenty-fourth street, dispelled all doubts. Then she got angry and dispatched her daughter to the Police Station to have Fred arrested before the ceremony was per- formed. Young Huncke and Louise, who is just past 16, have loved each other for some time, and told their parents they would some day marry despite objections. According to Miss Huncke, Louise did most of the wooing and seemed to exercise some strange influence over her brother. Several months ago when the subject of the marriage was first broached Mrs. Huncke would hear none of it and forbade her son seeing the girl again. Louise was not to be disposed of so easily and thanks to her ingenuity the lovers met frequently. Tuesday they decided on a secret mar- riage and accordingly repaired to the Re- corder’s office, where the license was pro- cured. They then went before Justice Spaulding, at Tenth and Olive streets, and were made one, They returned to their separate homes and Huncke spent Tuesday evening with his mother like a dutiful son. Wednesday morn- ing he put on his working clothes and left for the George Sahm Shoe Co.’s factory, at 1126 North Third street, where he is em- ployed, congratulating himself on the se- crecy of his move. When he returns home he will get a wed- ding reception from his indignant mother and sisters he does not expect.

JHFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. %4.—Gov. Stephens has appointed W. A. Rebo In- spector of Oils for Clarke County for a term of two years from date. Below the certified appointment, in Gov. Stephens’ handwriting, was the following: “Mr. Montgomery, who is an applicant for this position, is a sound money Demo- erat. I cannot, therefore, appoint him, as I am determined that no sound money Dem- ocrat shall hold a position under this ad- mintstration.“ “BURIAL PERMITS.

N YORK, Feb. %—A Dondon dis- patch says: The case of Mrs. Carew, who was recently sentenced to death at Yoko- hama for pofsoning her husband with strychnine, the sentence being subseuently commuted to life imprisonment, is beginning to develop still stronger points of resem- blance to that of Mrs, Maybrick. William Tucker, a druggist of high standing, who formerly kept a store at Glastonbury, where Mr. Carew and his wife lived, has made a sworn statement to the effect that he sold arsenic in large quantities to Mr. Carew for some time prior to mine years ago, and that he has a record of such sale on the very day before Carew's mar- riage to the woman who has now teen de. clared his murderess. The Mayor and Mayoress of the borough and other infiu- ential residents also testified to their knowl- edge of the fact that Mr. Carew was a habitual user of arzenic. They give as their reason for not coming fo fore their belief that Mrs. Carew would be acquitted without argument. Depositions of all those acquainted with Mr. Carew's former habits are being prepared, and will be forwarded to the Yokohama authorities. THE WEATHER FORECAST. — — ＋ — ae FAIR AND WABMER.

DIPLOMACY AKIN TO LYING. Quarrels Between the Secretary of State and the Consul-General Have Been Frequent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—The fol- lowing cablegram was received Tuesday morning by the State Department: “HAVANA, Feb. 22.—Secretary of State: My resignation mailed per steamer. “LEE.” Secretary Olney replied to this almost im- mediately, urging Gen. Lee to withhold his resignation until something could be done, and declaring that his retirement at this time and in such a manner “would cause untold trouble.“ After sending his dispatch, Secretary Ol- ney hurried over to the White House with Gen. Lee’s telegram in his pocket and talked over the situation with President Cleveland for nearly an hour before the other members of the Cabinet arrived to attend the regular meeting. The President fully approved of Mr. Ol- ney’s action in requesting Gen. Lee to with- draw his resignation for the present. The matter was not laid before the Cabinet. HAVANA, Feb. %.—Gen. Lee was shown cablegrams explaining the dispatches re- ceived in New York relative to his reported resignation. He then said: „I will resign if not sustained by the State Department. Until now I have not received an answer. The question at issue was not the death of Ruiz, but related to Charles Franklin Scott, who was thirteen days incommunicado. I asked that he be placed communicado immediately. Scott is already communicado and the question has lost its importance. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. Feb. %4.—After being buffeted about between newspaper reports and State Department denials concerning Gen. Lee's resignation, the public fully ap- preciates that diplomacy is akin to lying. There is no longer any doubt here that Lee has resigned, and has been asked to delay action. His friends are proud of his bold stand and are elated that he should have un- masked Olney completely and placed the odium of sacrificing American lives and American principies on him. The public has been shocked by the revelations from Hav- ana, none the less than by willful misrepre- sentations by State officials, and awaits with unconcealed interest the written resignation of Lee, in which it Is expected. he will deal in vigorous language, as he relates the cow- ardice of the Administration and its fright- ful results. Owing to Mr. Olney’s well known arro- gance, it is not surp that he should be fous to accept Lee's resignation. If he it, he will go on record with a stinging reprimand, and especially as Lee will have no chance to reply.

C., Feb. 24.—The Sen- ate began work at 11 o’clock to-day in order to push forward the appropriation bills. Mr. Vilas (D.) of Wisconsin secured the final passage of the House bill amending the postal laws so as to provide indemnity up to $10 for loss of registered mail matter. Mr. Quay (R.) of Pennsylvania moved to take up the bill extending the time for building the Duluth bridge, so called, over the St. Louis river, between Wisconsin and Minnesota, but Mr. Vilas opposed it and the motion was defeated—17 to 2%. This led up to several Cuban develop- ments. Mr. Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska first opened that subject by offering the follow- ing resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the President should s ily and effect- ually protect the and liberties of peaceful American citizens residing or sojourning in Cuba and that he should women insist that Spain in her war against her colonies in that island should conduct the same on principles of civilized warfare, eliminating all unusual and unnecessary cruelty and barbarity, and for the enforcement of those reasonable and just re- quirements, United States battleships should be sent without delay to Cuban waters. Mr. Gary (Dem.) of Delaware and Mr. Quay suggested that the resolution should — — — — go over until to-morrow, and this order Pea — was made. sion, provided for in the convention with Mr. Hill Dem.) of New York offered the | Mexico of March 1, 1889. following resolution, which was agreed to] Promotions, War Department: First Lieut. without comment: — n 2 Caveny., . ö — Resolved, That the Secretary of State be and econ eut. on F. Davis, * ’ is hereby requested to transmit to the Senate, | to be First Lieutenant. either in open or secret session, as he may pre- fer, all the correspondence and reports of the Consul-General of the United States at Havana relating to American citizens now in prison in the Island of Cuba not previously reported on. With the adoption of this resolution Mr. Morgan took the floor and presented from the Committee on Foreign Relations the following joint resolution: That the Government of the United States demands the immediate and unconditional ro- lease of Julio Sanguilly, a citizen of the United States, from imprisonment under the charges that are pending and that are being prosecuted against him in the military and civil courts of Cuba upon alleged grounds of rebellion and kidnapping, contrary to the treaty “rights of each of said Governments and in violation of the laws of nations. And the President of the United States is requested to communicate this resolution to the Government of Spain and to demand of that Government such com- pensation as he shall deem just for the im- prisonment and suffering of Julio Sanguilly. The reading of the resolution was fol- lowed with the closest attention by the Sen- ators, and Mr. Morgan said he would cali it up to-morrow with a view to securing action. When the Indian bill was taken up Mr. Quay took the floor in order to discuss the Duluth bridge bill. It soon led to some spirited comments between Mr. Vilas and Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson declared that the bill merely asked an extension of time to ‘build a bridge essential to communication between Duluth and Superior and which fave employment to a large number of men. He characterized the opposition of Mr. Vilas as about the “most paltry and meanest” he could think of. It seemed to him plain words should be used and he con- sidered such. opposition as partaking of a dog in the manger policy. Mr. Vilas came back with the statement that Mr. Nelson was incorrect in his facts. After further discussion the Senate got back to the Indian bill. TO BOMBARD HAVANA. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 24.—There will probably be a warm fight in the Sen- ate when Representative Cole’s bill, com- monly known as a fellow servant bill, comes up for final passage. The Cole bill will be called up within a very short time, and it is already apparent that there Is going to be opposition. Just how formidable this opposi- tion will be cannot be accurately predicted at this time, for the reason that the op- ponents of the bill are moving very quietly. The Cole bill is not generally understood. It was introduced early in the session, soon after the Avery fellow servant bill,and while that measure was still pending some of the friends of the genuine fellow servant legis- lation, who had not taken the trouble to study the Cole bill thoroughly, conceived the idea that it was a general fellow servant bill, and, therefore, not atceptable to them. Representative Avery and others who are known to be on the right side of legislation along this line unite in saying that the Cole bill Is a good measure and it should be ‘passed. While it is in one sense a fellow servant bill, it is not one of the kind which have been introduced from time to time, embracing such general features as to in- sure its defeat. At least this is the opinion of the Cole bill as given to the Post-Dis- patch correspondent by some of the best men in the Assembly. “The Cole bill, better known as House bill No. 10, is a good companion bill to our fellow servant bill recently enacted,” said Mr. 88 it should become a law without elay. Following is a copy of the bill: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows: 8 See 1. That see. 4425, chap. 49. of the Re- vised Statutes of 1889, entitled Damages and contributions in actions of tort,““ be and the same is hereby -amended by adding after the word person, in the third line, the words whether fellow servant or other person.” and by adding after the word ‘‘passenger,’’ the ninth line of said section, “employe or fellow servant;’’ so that the sec- tion, when amended, shall read as follows: Ses, 4425. Whenever any person, whether fel- low servant or other person, shall die from an injury resulting from or occasioned by the negli- gence, unskillfulness or criminal intent of any cer, agent, servant or employe whilst run- ning; conducting or man g any locomotive, ear or train of cars, or of any master, pilot, engineer, agent er employe whilst running, con- ducting or managing any steam t. or any of the machinery thereof, or of any driver of any stag coach or ober public conveyance whilst in charge of the same as driver, and when any ssénger, employe or fellow servant shall die om any injury resulting from or occasioned by any defect or insufficiency in any railroad, or any part thereof, or in any locomotive or ear, or in any steamboat, or the machinery thereof, or in any stage conch or other public convey- ance, the corporation, individual or individnals in whose employ any such officer, agent, sery- ant, employe. master, pilot, engineer or driver shall be at the time such injury is committed, or who owns apy such railroad, locomotive. car, stage coach or other public conveyance at the time rny injury is received resulting from or occasioned by any defect or insufficiency, unskillfulness, pegligence or criminal intent above declared, shall forfeit and pay for every person or passenger so dying the sum of five thousand dollars, which may be sued for and recovered: Firat, by the husband or wife of the deceased: or. second, if there be no husband or wife, or he or she fails to sue within six months after such death, then by the child or children of the deceased, whenever such minor child or children of the deceased be the natural born er adepted child or children of the de- ceased: Provided, that if adopted, such minor child or children shall have been duly adopted 88 to the laws of adoption of the State where the person executing the Oeed of adoption resided at the time of such adoption; or, third, if such deceased be a minor and un- married, whether such deceased unmarried minor be a natural born or adopted child, if such deceased unmarried miner shall have been duly adopted necording to the laws of adoption of the State where the perso. executing the deed of adoption resided at the time of such adoption, then by the father and mother, who may join in the suit, and each shall have an equal interest in the Jefferson City Has No Desire to Com- pete With Fort Smith. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 24.—The people of Jefferson City are not pleased with the passage of the bill which provides for all public executions to take place within the walls of the penitentiary. This quiet, staid old town has none of the dash of Cripple Creek, and there is no disposition on the part of its citizens to have their town made famous as a second edition of Fort Smith. They argue that this will be the inevitable result of the “hanging bill.“ as they callit. Down at Fort Smith they have hangings with startling frequency, but when it comes to bringing all of the con- demned murderers from the 114 counties of the State into one place to be executed, there * probability that the Fort Smith record will be broken so far as the num- ber of hangings is concerned. Tho 82 authorities are especially sorry t Hut the bill has passed and is to become a law. There is no y at the nitentiary who wants to have the title of hangman, How- ever, the opposition to the bill is not en- tirely unanimous here, and among those who see no special objection is Representa- tive Pope of Cole County, in which Jeffer- son City is located. The slight amendment made by the House which caused the bill to sent back to the Senate is practically agreed upon, and unless it should happen that Gov. Stephens should decline to affix his signature, the “hanging bill’ is certain to become a law.. No emergency clause is attached, and the bill will not become effect- ive until the regulation time has elapsed after its passage. DEVOY’S PROTEST. SITUATION Feb. 24.—The peni- the archives, CANBA, Island of Crete, Governor’s palace, with all was destroyed by fire to-day, and as other fires broke out in the town at the same time, it is suspected that incendiaries have been at work. The situation is grave. Armed and excited Mussulmans are parading the streets, full of indignation at the news from Selinos, where Mussulmans are besieged. The Benghazi Arabs threaten to burn the whole of Canea. While the palace was burning a strong box containing 7,000 pounds fell into the ruins and broke open, where- upon there was @ wild rush of Turkish sol- diers and Mussulmans to secv¢e the treas- ure. The foreign marines were obliged to fire blank cartridges to restrain them, and for a time a serious conflict between the Turks and Europeans was threatened. The admirals are about to issue a proc- lamation in all the towns and villages, ex- plaining the reason for the presence of the foreign fleets in- Cretan waters and ex- horting tranquillity. The population is so divided by hatred that schemes for reforms are futile. The best plan, it is argued, is to permit the Greek troops to occupy the country and es- cort the besieged Mussulmans abroad, for the Mussulmans cannot remain in Crete. The suggestion of the Consuls that a for- eign force be landed at Selinos in order to cover the retreat of the beleaguered Mussul- mans has not been adopted, owing to the available number of marines being insuffi- cient. In view of the large force of the in- surgents, the Admirals have decided to con- fine their action to the dispatch of warships to Selinos. The attacks of the insurgents continue at various points, . The insurgents have de- scended into the plain behind the Convent of Chrysophighi and have set fire to Mussul- man houses. — — ——— — ve ; 2 1 8 r ee 2 1 12 A Sates 4 4 ian 5 die 9 " : „ ; te fae A. ull ae 5 are Sas 9 3 * * 1 es ae © ; 3 24 . 57 i dee a — 23 GEN.

It is be- lieved here that Lee’s resignation is the worst disaster that has befallen this Admin- istration.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 24.—Friends of the Civic Federation School Board bill for St. “Louis are somewhat exercised to-day on account of à protest which purports to come from the Executive Committee of the St. Louis Democratic City Central Com- mittee. The communication, which was ad- dressed to Speaker Farris, was read in the House this morning, It is written on Plant- ers’ Hotel note paper and is dated Feb. 23. Following is a copy of the protest: Resolved, That.the Executive of the Democratic City Central Committee to- night assembled, acting for the Democ- racy of St. Louis, hereby petition the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Missouri to pass no bill pro- viding for the appointment either by the Governor or the Mayor of St. Louis of School Directors for the City of St. Louis, as it is the sense of the committee that such officers should be selected by the vote of the people. (Signed) EDWARD DEVOY, Chairman. (Attest) A. C. MARONDY, Secretary. There is much speculation as to the mean- ing of the unexpected communication. ON A TECHNICALITY.

It is understood, however, that later on when the regular appropriations have been fixed, the technicality now ‘existing will be the immediate restoration to Ifberty of every American citizen, native born or nat- uralized, now imprisoned by them in the Island of Cuba, and that in support of that demand the President is authorized and di- rected to accompany it by the presence of a sufficient number of United States ships of war to make that demand good; and if it is not granted within twenty-four hours, that the City of Havana, and, if need be, oth great.

The Slate Bill to Be Engrossed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY; Mo., Feb. 24.—After a spirited wrangle, lasting for an hour, the House this morning voted to engross the Slate assessment bill, which has been the subject of so much heated discussion on several occasions during the past three weeks. Numerous amendments were of- fered and were promptly voted down, with the exception of such amendments as were agreed to by the author of the bill. The Farmers’ Club took a hand in the engross- ment of the Slate bill and led the fight against such amendments as were not ac- me by Mr. Slate. his bill will be called up for third read- ing at an early date and its passage is re- garded as certain. which permits passengers on trains to re- cover damages for fatal injury. By the amendment the provision of the law is ex- tended to include fellow servants and em- ployes. As explained in terse language by the author of the bill, Mr. Cole of Ralls County, and also by Mr. Avery, the bill simply fixes matters so that the courts can- not construe fellow servants or employes as any other than “persons.” Senator Mil- ler is one of the most enthusiastic. sup- porters of the Cole bill in the Senate, and as @ general proposition he has a faculty of fighting his way through. — The following firms have insurance on their furniture: slein. & Robyn, insurance agents, in- sured in Merchants of New Jersey.

Mr. Curzon added that the Consul had done his best to calm the Christians, intimating to them that the solution of the Cretan troubles depended on the great powers. The dispatches further stated that the armistice would not suffice to save the 2,000 Mussulmang at Candamos and the 10,000 at Sparniaco and Selinos from certain death should a Greek war vessel appear there. From an interview which the Consul had with the insurgent chiefs, the Government athered that the Christian outbreak at elinos was due entirely to the belief that the Christians had been massacred at Canea and to the encouragement received from the presence of Greek warships and soldiers. Both Christians and Mussulmans, accord- ing to the Consul, declared that order would bee restored if 300 foreign troops were anded. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Conservative, asked if the Government would send the 800 troops referred to. To this Mr. Curzon replied that he could not say whether the Government would or would not. CANEA, Crete, Feb. 24.—The foreign Ad- mirals asked for a safe conduct for the purpose of enabling them to visit the camp of the insurgents and verify the results of the pom parchng. as they were skeptical con- cerning the existence of persons par rting to have been wounded. e Gree ommo- dore refused to comply with this request, on the ground that he was unable to guar- antee their safety. 0 The insurgents, through the Greek Com- modore, have address a formal protest against the bombardment to the foreign Admirals, solemnly asserting that the Turks were the aggressors in Sunday’s firing.

They have worried out two years of uphill war against the most tremendous odds under which any colonial war in history has been fought, and they most earnestly desire peace. The unofficial but none the less real offer of the United States, “the great pacifica- tor.“ to secure them the right to enact their own laws, levy their own taxes and dismiss to Spain any viceroy they might not be satisfied with, constituted a degree of genuine freedom greater than they had ever dreamed would be conceded by Spain. The temptation to accept was enorm ‘ Their refusal is concise, positive and final. It means that the Cubans feel their power. Real liberty is their aim. On the basis of true independence, the Cuban revolutionists are di to make great sacrifices to se- cure peace. They refuse autonomy, but they universally favor the purchase of their in- dependence. A year ago Spain would consid- er no solution of the war save Spanish vic. tory by force of arms. It is true that Marti- nez Campos declared that the Cubans could never be subdued by this means. But the general sentiment of the Spanish Court and Government, public and press, was “finish the war by means of war.“ At that time the Cubans, through their General-in-Chief, ex- several St. Louis dentists in search of in- formation regarding the use of hypnotism in dentistry, found them all singularly unani- mous on one point—that they could not af- ford to allow it to be known that they had ever dabbled, however slightly, in the mys- tic science. Such is the vulgar prejudice against hypnotism, they insisted, that it would ruin them if they confessed to @ familiarity with it. The testimony of each was practically the same. One gentleman, whose office is in the Chemical Building, said: “Yes, I did at one time experiment with hypnotism. All I knew of the subject I learned from books. One day a man came into my office to have a tooth extracted. He would not take gas, so I thought I would see if I could put him to sleep. made a few passes over him, and in a mo- ment his eyes closed and he was_uncon- scious.

Huntington, the Pacific railroad multi-millionaire, pulls out of the ma- chine $1,384,000 in return for the large campaign contribution he dropped into the Hanna slot. The Republican Con- gress has appropriated the amount named. It was claimed by the Hunting- ton railroad. This claim has been pending for ten years. One House after another has re- fused to appropriate the money. This action was due partly to the fact that the claim is without foundation in any service rendered the Government, and has no standing either in law or equity, and partly to the fact that the Huntington roads are indebted to the Government in the sum of nearly $60,000,000. Only now, after Huntington had pooled his issues with the other consolidated interests sup- porting McKinley and contributed to the Hanna corruption fund, has the steal been railroaded through the House and added to a total of appropriations aggre- gating more than a billion dollars. It will be a satisfaction to Missourians to know that Representative Dockery led the fight against this public robbery. But it is not so satisfying to Missourians to knöw that Mr. Hubbard, the Repub- lican who occupied Bland’s seat ad in- terim, dodged the vote. Hubbard’s. posi- tion is all the more indefensible because his position on the Pacific Railroads Committee gave him exceptional oppor- + “ tunities to take conspicuous part in be- half of the people against the Hunting. fon corporations, .

The capitalists who ran these plants are taken in as mere officers of the monopoly that absorbs their enterprises. The plants they formerly managed are in many es rotting in idleness. Capital is discéuraged, if not frightened and driven away, that would under normal conditions compete with the giant monopoly. The former independent capitalist has become a tool of monopoly, whose object it is to repeat the process with regard to other capitalists who may dare to renew, the competition. The monopolist is the true enemy of independent capital. If he is allowed to continue his work unchecked, industry and trade in every civilized country, and probably in the United States first, will crystallize into a few hands. A billionaire corporation will control every branch of industry, and the opportunities for inck- vidual enterprise and the small capitalist will be gone forever. We shall be a nation composed of an autocratic oligarchy of wealth and a multitude of pauperized underlings. ~~ _ a. > PUPPET VANDERVOORT. Whether he was paid for it or not, Paul Vandervoort, late President of the Reform Press Association, acted as Wall street’s puppet at the Memphis meeting when he denounced the/Democratic party and advised a division of the forces that Plutocracy in 1900. If he succeeds in side-tracking any considerable portion of the Reform Press and the People’s Party, Wall street will be most ungrateful if it does not reward him according to his deserts. The agents of Plutocracy could look for no better ally than he will be in that event. This man knows that, but for the so- called Middle-of-the-Road treachery in the last campaign, the people might have won in their fight against the Money Power, the Trusts, the combined rail- roads and the coercing corporations. He knows that the Democratic party has purged itself of the millionaires, the boodlers and the parasites generally, and has girded itself up to fight the people’s battle. He knows that it has incurred the odium of all who are at heart en- emies of the people by so doing. He knows that it has enlisted for good in this fight. Yet he impudently says: If the Democratic party had won the fight, there would have been no reforms enacted, not even free silver, and all the power and its machinery and all its office-holders, high and low, would have been wielded to absorb our party. , How many puppets will follow this Wall street ppet? By as many as do renew his assault on the Civil Service 680, the vote of the people against finan- law. This time the attack is made, not at a club dinner, but in the national House of Representatives, where Mr. Grosvenor was speaking in his official capacity. The Post-Dispatch has already said thet the logic of Grosvenor's Brooklyn club dinner speech was the repeal of the vivil service law. Mr. Grosvenor has the courage of his logic. He admitted, in re- sponse to inquiry by Mr. Bailey of Texas; that the Republican party was in favor of sweeping from the statute books any law which interferes with the just ambi- tion of any American citizen. Whereat there was loud applause on the Repub- lican side of the House. Mr. McKinley is to go to Washington as a man already sickened almost unto death by the importunities of the Re- Publican “spoilsmen.” If anybody sup- poses that this fact will restrain the hungry and thirsty they do not under- Stand the party of great moral ideas.

It is not necessary that the rich man should own a yacht or spend money on horse-racing or betting. Money thus in- vested produces the lowest percentage of philanthropic results. But he should em- ploy as many men and women as possible and pay them as high wages as his income will allow. He should live as well as his means will permit. Taking it all in all, the obligation to keep money in circulation is quite as strong as that to preserve the peace through the medium of good de- havior. Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. A man would know everything about a woman if he only knew when there was nothing else to know. Having the toothache and a cold in the head at the same time must be almost as bad as falling in love. When a woman is sorry about a thing, she wishes she hadn't done it; when a man is sorry, he wishes he hadn’t been found out. The man who hasn't thought what he will say when he gets engaged is about as rare as the girl who hasn’t thought what she will say if he says it. Delighted Depositors. From the New York Journal.

It is further charged that by such refusal the prisoner was denied justice and the law greatly outraged. What lawyer will say that a writ of error from a State Su- preme Court to the United States Supreme Court issues at the request of appellant peremptorily and as a matter of right? And what lawyer will say that such a writ is not discretionary with the Judge ap- plied to for it? It was clearly a matter of he and his associates, had to decide wheth- er any Federal question was or could be involved in the appeal. And if, after exam- ination, he believed none was involved, then it was clearly his duty to deny the writ, And this, we take it, was the reason why the writ was not issued, or if issued, as the attorneys claim, was recalled. How- ever, it is made to appear (and right here seems to be the tender spot in this matter) that the writ had been issued, and after- wards recalled for some suspected unfair purpose. This is a very unkind charge and ought to be well founded before made. The reporter of the Globe-Democrat for last Wednesday makes Gov. Johnson say that after Judge Gantt had signed the writ and laid it down on the deak before-him, he became possessed of information, through. defendant’s counsel, that the issuance of the writ would stay the execution of their client and give him certainly a few days longer to live and them possibly a chance to win their case. They say that Judge Gantt, after making this important dis- covery, and after consultation with Judge Sherwood, changed his mind as to issuing the writ and destroyed the writ that he had signed and declined to issue any writ whatever. This is the story as sensatien- ally told in the Globe. But, in all candor, does it bear thé stamp of veracity? The lawyer would say no. In the first place, the bar of the State knows that Judge Gantt well understood the effect of the writ when issued, and that it operated as a supersedeas of the execution to take place on the 16th, In the next place, that the writ, if issued as claimed by the counsel for defendant, could on more mature consideration be reealled by the power that could issue it. Why? Because the issuing of the writ was a judicial act and not mintsterlal-was the act of a Judge and not of a clerk. The writ was indisputably under the control of the Presiding Judge, if not the court, and must so remain until the record in the case had been made up to accompany the writ and the #ame transmitted to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States. The writ, even if issued (which it certainly was not), was or could not in any sense be the property of the defendant or his counsel, but was simply the instrument of the law by which thé case could be trans- ferred to the highest court in the land. It was the law's agent, and not the defend- ant’s, and could only be issued when the law was put in operation for that purpose. And if the oracle of the law declined to issue it, or, having issued it, recalled it before effective, that was the end of it, The legal and just end of the whole matter, That there has been too much written about this case in the newspapers no one would gainsay. From the start it seemed to be the evident purpose of the préss to prejudice the country against Duestrow. In this it succeeded admirably; too well, no one will deny. Yet, after all, I hardly believe that any one who respects truth will charge any of the courts through which the case passed with desiring to do anything except to declare the law as each saw it, accord- ing to the facts in the case. There should be no objection to the recalcitrant scoldings of defeated and disappointed lawyers. It ‘s a time-honored right that they have after having been beaten. But they have no right to undertake to stir up the country against the judiciary, and they will hardly add any laurels to the splendid legal fight they made, although it was unsuccessful. No one, however, is alarmed for the safety of the Supreme Court, or for the liberties of the people, in consequence of the Dues- trow hanging. ns 6 ‘ 1 l ks sneha 8 * „ ee Pe 2 r Pe.

And after having determined that, as best he could, and being advised fully, no doubt, of his duty, he left the sentence of the law to take its course. No question that ‘he re- gretted that even a doubt stood out that possibly Duestrow might not be sane, yet the legally constituted law tribunals had declared him sane and a majority of the experts had declared him sane, and there was nothing left for the Governor to do but ments and take him away from the law and respite him, and thereby in a measure take the responsibility of the crime.

Not a Patent Cure-All, Nor a Modern Miracle, but Simply a Rational Cure for Dyspepsia. In these days of humbuggery and de- ception, the manufacturers of patent med- icinés, as a rule, seem to think their med- icines will not sell unless they claim that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dys- pepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nostrum is abso- * certain to cure every dyspeptic and e need look no further. In the face of these absurd claims it is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ion carefully refrained from making any undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They make but one claim for it, and that is that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure.

That site had, there- fore, to be abandoned. After looking the city over thoroughly, no available, and at the same time desirable, piece of ground could be secured and the scheme has of ne- cassity fallen through. The Fair Grounds Association refuse to consider such a pro- ject, which leaves the Pastime grounds still the only place for races unless the South Side Park should be opened for that pur- ose. P The management of the association own- ing that park have about come to the conclusion that horse-racing in St. Louis has seen its best days, and the advisability of converting the track into one for cycle racing is being seriously considered. The track is a little over a half-mile one way, and could be altered at a minimum @x- pense compared to preparing new grounc, The grand stand is a fair one that would readily yield to ornamentation and enlarge- ment if necessary. Messrs. Spink and Ad- ler, the chief stockholders in the present company, are strongly in favor of the alter- ation, and it is highly probable that it will be made. The grounds are centrally located and accessible by several car lines. LICENSES FOR JOCKEYS. All the St. Louis Boys Have Secured Permission to Ride.

The only doctors who object to the teaching and warning of the Boards of Health are those who think they have a cure for consumption. Doctor Copeland has from time to time consumption in its later stages, and right now he is willing and anxious to assist the Health Boards of St. Louis and other E Robinson, St. Charies, Mo., Cured of Leafuess. | cities and towns in preventing the devel- opment of this disease. Doctor Copeland says: I have no patience with the doctors who claim to cure consumption after the disease has a firm hold on the lungs, and I have less patience with tht class of doctors who try to frighten the people into believing that ca- tarr causes all cases of consumption. Both sorts of doctors are, to say the least, mis- taken. I recognize that consumption does not begin in the lungs of one in perfect health, any more than throwing a lighted match in a pail of water will start a fire. Iknow from experience that anything that will run down the bodily strength will allow the seeds of consumption to gain a foothold in. the lungs. ‘‘I know that in a crowded city where there are persons whose lungs are decaying the air is during calm, dry apells loaded with particles of the decayed lungs, which, when they are breathed into the chest of one whose vitality is run down, or.where there are inflamed spots along the breathing tract, are very apt to lodge and multiply and pro- duce consumption. no that there is no disease that 20 universally weakens the system as does ca- tarrh. I know that the discharge from this disease runs down the bodily strength 80 that it becomes an easy prey to other disease. I know that the sore spots made by the ca- tarrh furnish just the condition that is needed to allow the seeds of consumption to enter the system. ‘* While Ihave nothing to offer that will cure consumption in an advanced stage, while Iam not a consumption cure fanatic, Iknow that the right way to prevent the disease from developing is to improve the bodily welfare so that the system will refuse to allow it to develop. I know that if the people were only alive to the fact that if they attended to their throat and bronchial tubes and allowed those skilled in the treatment of these parte to cure them, there would be but few cases of consumption. To show what can be done in the way of preventing consumption, nothing is 80 convincing as this: Among the hosts that Doctor Copeland every year treats scarcely a person who has been under his care has been known to develop lung disease. This is proof beyond question that by curing catarrh the development of consumption is prevented. TRUTH ABOUT THE PASSING OF CATARRH INTO CONSUMPTION. (From Doctor Copeland’s Monograph on the Ex- tension of Catarrh to the Lungs.) When Catarrh bas existed ip the head and upper parts of the throat for any length of time, the patient living in a district where people are sub- ject to catarrha) affections, and the disease has been left uncured, the Catarrh almost luvariably extends from the Throat down the windpipe and thence into the Bronchial Tubes. These tubes con- vey the air Into the different parts of the Lungs. As a result of the extension of the disease the Bronchial Tubes become affected from the swelling and the mucue that is poured out by the Catarrh, together with the swelling, sometimes plugs these tubes up so that alr cannot pass freely through them as it should. Shortneas of breath follows and one so affected breathes with difficulty. In other cases there are sounds of crackling and wheezing inside the chest. At this period of the extension ot the disease the breathing is usually more rapid than it should be. There are frequently felt hot flushes over the body. The pain which accompanies this condition 16 of a Gull character, felt in the chest behind the i sfedaere : will be found streaks of blood mixed with the mucus that is expelled by the cough. In a cer- tain number of cases, at this stage of the dis- ease, the one afflicted becomes pale and has con- siderable fever every afternoon, while in certain other cases a great deal of mucus may be raised | or hawked up before any cough is present. In certain other cases small masses of cheesy-like substance are spit up, which, when pressed be- tween the fingers, emits a very unpleasant odor. This last ig a very serious symptom. In some cases Catarrh will extend from the Throat and into the Lungs in a very few weeks; in other cases it may be months and even years before the disease passes, from the Throat into the Lungs. When the disease invades the Chest there is almost sire to be more or less fever, and this differs in severity at different periods of the day; it may be slight in the morning and higher in the afternoon and evening. Sometimes during the day the patient has a creepy, chilly sensation, which may last from half an hour to an hour, after which the surface of the body feels dry and hot. During the night follow- ing the presence of these symptoms there 16 - able to be profuse night sweating. The pulse Is usually more rapid than it should be, and the one affiicted loses flesh and strength. At this period of the dit ue a further extension is ever induced by a fresh cold, and a fresh cold at this time may be all that is needed to develop Rapid Con- sumption. In some cases the patient loses strength and flesh slowly, the muscles gradually wasting away. Then there will come periods where the patient apparently mends; he will gradually regain some of his lost strength, only to lose it again after a fresh cold has been taken. The fresh cold causes the disease to extend further and go deeper into the Lung Tubes until finally it enters the struct- ure of the lungs themselves. A weak stomach and a dislike for food, which seems to have lost all its agreeable taste, often causes the sufferer to imagine that he only has disease of the stomach. Many a case of beginning lung disease is mis- taken by patients and doctors alike for dyspepsia. When Lung Disease is thus mistaken for a stom- ach affection the treatment that is applied is a wrong ove, and unfortunately the treatment Is often kept up until the lung disease becomes 80 advanced that the case becomes a hopeless one. When Bronchial Catarrh ig extending into the lungs the voice becomes weak and husky or hoarse, There is often a burning pain felt in the throat and some difficulty is experienced in swallowing on aqpount of the soreness in the throat.

Other Candidates Deny This and Lee Meriwether Says He Has Not Withdrawn. Enthusiasm over the candidacy of Edwin Harrison for the Democratic nomination for Mayor seems to increase every hour. There appears to be a spontaneity in this enthusl- asm Which presages victery. At least, that is the way the leaders in the Harrison move- ment describe the situation. Charles D. McClure is recognized as Mr. Harrison's campaign manager, and to-day he is selecting gentlemen to serve on the Harrison Campaign Committee. It is the intention to have a committee composed of thirty or, perhaps, forty prominent citi- gens who are also practical party workers. At noon a portion of the committee had been selected. They are: Chas. D. McClure, Pa aot gma 8 Gregory. E. C. Moore, James Duross ipt. ö P. J. Kelly, Col. M. G. Wet- more, Dr. F. J. Lutz, Thos. E. Barrett, L. M. Rumsey, A. B. Ewing, Frank K. Ryan, Dr. A. V. L. Brokaw, Harrison I. Drum- mond, E. R. Feuerborn, William Cullinane, S S Bass, Pierre Chouteau, William G. Freve. David W. Caruth, Louis Fusz, P. J. Carmody and Adiel Sherwood. Other prominent business men will be added to the committee. From this gen- eral campaign committee will be selected the men to serve on the Executive and Fi- nancial committees. The complexion of this Harrison commit- tee shows that not only the mercantile and manufacturing interests, but also the prac- t cal politicians, are represented in the Har- rison movement. This fact is commented on by the Harrison boomers as demonsirating the universal sentiment among all classes for their candidate. Charles D. McClure is a member-at-large of the Democratic City Committee, and is also Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. David Caruth, who is a strong supporter of Mr. Harrison, is Treasurer of the Deirc- cratic City Executive Committee. Col. M. G. Wetmore is a member-at-large of that committee. Dr. Brokaw and William Cul- linane are ward members of the City Com- mittee. Thomas E. Barrett is a member of the State Democratic Committee. The alignment of these men shows that the drift of sentiment in the Democratic City Executive Committee is emphatically for Harrison. At the meeting of the Executive Com- mittee Tuesday night the members in pri- vate conversation did not hesitate to ex- press the opinion that. Harrison was the man to nominate, and with him Democracy could win on election day. The Harrison boomers say that their cam- paign committee will command the con- fidence and respect of the business element, and draw a large number of party workers away from the Noonan camp. It is not to be disputed that several influ- ential men on whom Noonan had confidently relied for support are now leaders in the Harrison movement. For instance, there is David Caruth, who was named as a member of the Noonan Executive Committee, but who refused to serve, and is now on the Harrison committee. Moses Greenwood, a well-known real estate dealer. was placed on the Noonan Executive Committee apparently without his knowledge, for he told a Post-Dispatch man that he would not serve. Mr. Green- wood did not say what candidate he would support. . downcast. They are sending out baskets full of letters from Phil Rohan's hekto- graph. and claim to have an organization n every ward. The boomers for Capt. Joe Brown are making things lively at their headquarters in the Laclede Hotel. Some of them seem to find a deep-laid Noonan scheme in the Harrison candidacy to defeat Brown. “Why, this candidacy of Harrison is a blunder of the Democratic City Committee, whieh has brought him out,” said Maj. Charles G. Gonter, secretary of the Brown Executive Committee. “Meriwether cuts no particular figure; at least. I believe he will not have any great strength in the convention. Tnen Harrison’s coming out #imply divides the opposition to Noonan, and maysallow Noonan to win. I firmly be- lieve that many of the so-called practical workers who have always. been Noonan‘ men, but who are now lining up with Har- —— te still armen mer at heart, and men e proper time com hp dg es will go to “Therefore, I figure that Harrison is sim- ply cutting the Brown vote. I can name eight wards where the fight is now between Noonan, Harrison and Brown, but, the anti- Noonan forces being split, Noonan is Hable to win, and if he gets those eight wards they will give him the nomination. And if Noonan is nominated Harrison will be re- sponsible for it from the fact that he has come out and split the Brown vote.” There are keen observers who say, how- ever, that Mr. Harrison will be the leading candidate in the convention, and that he will draw so much strength away from — lil get the 22 movement will , practically beforé the and convention day. ieee When asked about the statement m d a the Mepubitc 1 he would withdraw e ayoraity race Mr. M dictated the following reply: „— Please do me the favor to say that there ls not one word of truth in the Republic’s Statement that I have withdrawn in favor of any other candidate. 1 have 80 notified the Republic, and requested it to remove its bulletin announcing my with- drawal, but note that they persisted in meoping the bulletin posted in their window. trust you will give space for this State- ment and call attention to these unfair * — r my candidacy.”’ g onda, W ‘ Fehr * tor Mayo ho is supporting Mr. truth there was in t rt that Mr. Mer ious falsehood,” ly.

CAPT. SLATTERY’S HEIRS TO GET ALL THEIR MONEY. EFFECTED A COMPROMISE. Three of the Suits Withdrawn and Other Withdrawals Will Fol- low Shortly. Three of the insurance companies in which the late Capt. Dennis P. Slattery held poli- cies, have settled with the Slattery heirs. Negotiations are pending with the others which will probably result in the payment of the claims in full. When Capt. Slattery was drowned in King’s Lake in the spring of 18%, several of the insurance companies started the theory that he committed suicide. Other companies took the cue from these and when payment of the large life insurance carried by the deceased was demanded the companies re- fused to settle. After some time spent in useless negotia- tion, suits were filed against the insurance companies by Francis B. Aglar, guardian of the Slattery heirs. The principal suits were against the Union Casualty and Sure- ty Co. of St. Louis, for $5,000; the Fidelity and Casualty Co. of New York, for $30,000, and the United States Guarantee Co. of New York, for $10,000. Depositions of witnesses to the death of Capt. Slattery were filed in each of these cases. They practically destroyed the de- fense of the companies that Capt. Slattery committed suicide. Realizing that their contention was unjust and unfounded, the companies signified their willingness to settle with the heirs. As a re- sult of the subsequent negotiations payment in full of the claims of the heirs has been made by the Union, the United States and Fidelity companies, aggregating $45,000. An agreement has been reached with the other companies whereby they also will settle in full within a short time. Wednesday the suit of Mr. Aglar against the Union Casualty and Surety Co. of St. Louis, pending in Judge Klein's court, was dismissed by lawyers Noble and Shields, representing the Slattery heirs. The other suits will be dismissed in a few days. Gen. John W. Noble stated to a Post-Dis- patch reporter that the dismissal was at e defendant’s cost, and that the same terms were made with the other companies. The insurance companies,“ said Gen. No- ble, have acted very fairly in the matter, and the heirs of Capt. Slattery are well satisfied. The companies that have not al- ready paid up will do so within a few days, I understand, and then all the suits will be dismissed.“ 5 Death of Harry B. Bosworth. A telegram was received Wednesday morning by J. H. Garrison, President of the Christian Publishing Co., announcing the death at Daytonia, Fla., of Harry B.

SS BT AUSTRALIAN’S STRANGE NOSE ORNAMENT. This pleasant-looking gentleman, with the bone thrust through his nose, is a typical Australian aborigine. That bone is his idea of ornamentation. The drawing is repro- duced from a photograph made by W. A. Horn for the English Illustrated Magazine. Mr. Horn says that the Australian aborigine is a living representative of the stone age, His spear heads and knives are fashioned from flint or sandstone. With them he per- forms daring surgical operations. He never washes and the only ownership of land that he knows is incident to that which accumulates on his person. Some of them He wears no clothing, winter or summer, builds no houses and refuses to be tamed. He is not a cannibal, but he is a sort of philosopher. When he becomes hungry he tight- ens his hair-girdle and tries to believe that he has just dined to repletion. Black grease and a nose bone he regards as raiment suitable for state occasions, but he allows his wife to wear a necklace of dog teeth. With no religion and few oral traditions, he is a keen observer and knows the hab:ts of every living thing with which he comes in —— | contact. He is fast becoming extinct. FOR THE SENATE BILL.

STOVE COMPANIES FIGHT. Gone to Court Over Their Traveling Advertisements. The Majestic Range Co. has applied to the Circuit Court to enjoin the Wronght Iron Range Co. from interfering with its efforts to boom its business. According to the petition the Wrought Iron Range Co. some time ago started out caravans with samples as an advertising en- terprise. The Majestic Range Co. followed suft, except that it carried the plan out to the extent of cooking flapjacks on its ranges in the presence of an admiring popu- lace in Indiana and Ohio. At Princeton and Boonville, Ind., the Ma- 7 8 encountered those of the frought Iron Range Co., who hooted and jeered at them and interfered with the culi- nary operations of the cooks, who accom- panied the caravan, according to the allega- tions in support of the application for an injunction. CHRIS GOES EAST. Whereas, stitution legislation Left Tuesday Night for the League Meeting in Baltimore. Chris Von der Ahe left for Baltimore last evening over the Baltimore & Ohio. He says he will fight hard for the podling of the entire receipts of all National League games and an equal division, each club to receive the same amount. It is not probable that Chris will carry his point, as cities like Philadelphia, New York and Chicago will not stand for anything of this kind. Chris also stated that it is about settled that Bierbauer will cover second base for the Browns and that he will make a strong fight for Hutchinson. Chicago claims Hutchinson. but Tommy Dowd closed a deal with Manager Wilmot of Minneapolis whereby Parrott goes ‘to the Western League and “Hutch’’ comes to St. Louis. Not until after the deal was completed did Chicago lay claim to “Hutch,” and Chris believes there is an attempt on the part of Wilmot to squirm out of the deal. Von der Ahe has his deposited with Nick Young for Hutchinson and believes he is entitled to him. A Firebug’s Work. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Wraiths of Three Distinguished Mur- derers Run Him Wild. Louis Chichester, a clerk, living at 215 Spruce street, applied at the City Dis- pensary Wednesday forenoon for a charm against spooks. He came in on a run, shouting that all the spooks of Murderers Maxwell, Duestrow and Sam Welsor were after him. He refused to be comforted by Dr. New- comb’s strong talk and continued to tear around. The doctor finally sent for an of- ficer. Two of them responded. It took their combined efforts to hold the man down on the way to the City Hospital. Chichester was evidently well educated and was of fine appearance. His condition is serious. HE ORDERED CIGARETTES. When Mrs. Hannon Turned Reund to Get Them a Thief Slugged Her.

The Brady-Cronin fight took on a new aspect Wednesday morning. John Thirat- less Brady applied for a warrant against Alderman Jim Cronin, charging him with larceny of a saloon sign. Since John Tiresome Brady vacated his old saloon at Ninth and Walnut streets and moved to new quarters opposite the Standard Theater Cronin’s gorge has been rising. Cronin claims that Brady is backed in his new venture by Butler influence. Brady says Cronin is jealous of the heavy business he is doing at the new stand. Wednesday morning John Twisted Brady appeared before Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Johnson. His facial mosaic wore a heavy frown from that added to the lights and shades of the innumerable corrusca- tions of his very open countenance. „What's wrong, John?” mildly asked Col, Johnson, as the leader of the First Ward Dreibund leaned against the rail to catch his breath. Brady tipped his hat backward so that the rear rim covered scar No. the forward tilt exposing excavation No, on his high forehead. J want a warrant against this pot-bellied false alarm over here, said Brady. “Which his other name is“ — suggested Col. Johnson. „Cronin!“ snorted Brady. Is there more than one answers that description in this ward?“ ‘ „What did he do to vou?“ “Stole my sign,” said Brady. Tm fixing up that new joint o’ mine to give a blow- out that'll lay away over my "possum feed. I have a big sign fixed up making this an- nouncement to the elite and the pro bono ublic. Cronin’s dead sore on my popular- ty and he fixes up a job to tear my pants when I ain’t got no coat on, He gets some o' them suckers that’s fattening on his Work-house lunch to swipe the sign on me last night.“ How do you know Cronin stole the sign?“ asked Col. Johnson. „Cause I’m wise; that’s how,“ said Brady. It don’t take a sucker to be born with a double veil over his face to get next to one o’ Cronin s plays. Cause he’s got the sign over his —2 joint now, that’s how know.“ “But you didn’t see him take the sign, and you have no proof against him,” argued Col. Johnson. “I can’t issue a warrant against him. Better see the police, John.“ See the what?“ roared Brady. See the— well, if that wouldn’t poison you! Do I look like I’m gone off my nanny? The polkce! You're a joker, sure!“ „Well, then, why not go over to Cronin and ask him to return the sign?’ Brady looked at Col. Johnson for a full minute before es sad oo “Say, swim out, Col. Honest, you’re over your nut. I didn’t say I was 2 for a nice quiet hole in the ground out in Cal- vary. Ask Cronin for my sign? Not on your pimply face. What business has he got with my property? Jealousy in business is ail right, so long as a feller @on’t carry it too far, like this was. Cronin’s sore cause Howard Gould comes down to my notch Monday night and opens a couple o’ cases o' White Seal and gives his dive the dislo- cated shoulder. I can’t help it because I’m so popular with these bloated aristocrats, If that sign o' mine ain't back in my shack when I get down there, you can look out the window here in a half hour and see Cronin’s joint smoking. I'll burn that big slob up and feed him to his thirteen customers with the horse meat lunch this afternoon.” DRAGGED BY A CAR. Serious Misstep of a Man at Broad- way and Locust Street. Henry Krallman of 1915 Bacon street, a bookkeeper for the Samuel Cupples Wood- enware Co., in attempting to board a Broad! way cable car at Locust street Wednesday, slipped on the footboard and fell.

Gaitlor, Bishop of this Episcopal diocese, to-day formally admitted Rev. George Hunter Clare Into the Episcopalian ministry. Mr. Clare is an En- lishman by birth, belonging to an old English Gatholic family. He was educated in France and there took orders in the Roman Catholic Church. He next became a Unitarian minister and went to Boston. He was sent from Boston to a Unitarian charge in Wisconsin. Three years Mr. Clare came to Memphis and established = “finitarian Church. Soon after he asked Bishop Gailor to accept him as an Epis- copalian minister. Bishop advised him to make haste slowly, and Mr. Clare went to the Episcopalian University at Sewanee, Ind., and re- main a year. He was never formally de from the Cath- olle priesthood and the validity of his orders in that church will be recognized by Bishop Gallor. He will renounce certain doctrines not held in common by the two churches. Mr. Clare’s wife tized by Bishop Gailor. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Pure 18k wedding rings. Our prices the lowest. E.

I had to take no more pills and could go to bed and sleep sound and get up in the morning feeling fine and eat a hearty breakfast.

Kasper Schalch Claims Electricity Was Applied to Him: Suit for $15,000 damages, $10,000 actual and $6,000, exemplary, was filed against Dr. Frank Ring and George and James Prender- gast Wednesday in Circuit Clerk Rodgers’ a meeting at. 8 anized es. the Third mecinet 2,“ with the fol- ond street. Schalch was formerly employed as a gardener by George Prendergast, Sr., of 6218 Wagoner avenue, a prominent con- tractor. The petition alleges. that while Schalch Was asleep in his room at Prendergast's house, April 2, 189 Dr. Ring and the Prendergast boys crept into his room and a way Precinct Cimmitteeman Leo Mestres of 1 South . office by Kaspar Schalch, of 507 South Sec- | ceed a | vide from the Wolf Creek Bottoms, and on the way had encountered great herds of buffalo and large bands of elk with ante- | lope in every direction. I had forgotten my- ‘self in the excitement of the day’s hunt, until 8 night crowded from my mind the wild scenes of the day and by natural instinct directed me to the timber on Spillman for shelter. I arose 4 my sitting position and bus- led myself by collecting fallen wood for a ‘night’s camp fire. Then I removed a large tin cup from a hunting sack and pressed my way through a dense fhicket to the creek; where I secured a good supply of bad water and returned to the place I had se- lected for a night’s rest. After roasting my buffalo meat by hold- Ing it over the fire with two forked sticks and eating a part of it with great relish, I ‘began cleaning my gun preparatory for the next day’s hunt, and felt rejoiced that the | threatening rain had passed to the south of me, although the sky was heavily clouded And the wind was lashing the tree tops with considerable fury. applied a gaivanic battery to him in such ‘Surely;’’ I said to myself, Every time an elect tried-and-found-wanting schemes are trotted |. out for advertising purposes. They are touted as new things, and thanks to the forgetfii- ness of the people they are generally ac- cepted as such. “The scheme is entirely impracticable. A railroad company to furnish light and heat must have a complete double equipment. The two lines of business are entirely distinct and will remain so.“ President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements takes a different view of the clause. He says it was intended to work an exactly opposite way. “When that contract was let,” he said, Wednesday, “the possibilit‘es of electric street railways were but dimly perceived. It was thought barely possible that they might, instead of having their own power- houses, find it feasible to receive their elec- tricity ready-made from a lightin and heating company. The clause gave the suc- cessful bidder the right to make such dis- position of electricity. “What do I think of Mr. Sullivan's scheme? No sane person believes that any company will ever engage in a street rall- road and electric lighting business at the same time.“ ; CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Dr. tSarkloff’s Tenement and Lodging House Bill Introduced. The Kraus interpretation did not amount to a sensation, but it was a novelty for the jaded opera-goers who have seen Lohengrin time out of mind. It was the Lohengrin of a young artist, but so well sung, so gracefully acted that there is no doubting his future greatness on the lyric stage, Mile. Gadski's Elsa was the surprising and sat- isfying feature of the performance. She is the physical embodiment of Wagner’s herotne, Vocally she became a type of Elsa for us three years ago. Then Nordica came and destroyed the Illusion. Every note, every motion was studied by the wise- acres last night in the light of that comparison, and Gadski rose mightily in their appreciation. The other new singer was Carl Somer, whose basso did not fit well in the baritone role of Tel- ramund. He is a forceful actor, or at least ap- peared so, beside the impassive Ortrud of Mme. Elbenschuetz. well dressed as on the opening evening.

Buys the Venice Elevator. : The Venice Elevator was bought in Tues- day by the bondholders of the St. Louis United Elevator Co. for $21,000. The property was badly damaged by the tornado last May and was not considered a very desirable purchase. . Little interest was manifested in the sale and the United Elevator Co. was compelled to buy the property to protect themselves. _.. éssrs. Block and Howard, at whose in- stance the foreclosure suit was brought, were said to be o sed to the plan under which the United Elevator Co, is to be suc- ceeded by the Consolidated NHlevator Co., but the conditions of the sale indicate that an amiable arrangement has been reached. The R ization Committee of the Con- solidated Elevator Co. is hard at work, trying to harmonize the conflicting inter- ests and expects to complete a ents for the increase of the capital stock of the company from 000 before 5 $2,000 to $1,500 next meeting of the company, on M THE TRAFFIC BUREAU.

But this time it sounded like a wall of despair from a grief-stricken woman. As quick as a flash I sad, in almost audible tones: Indians! They have cap- tured a woman and a babe and brought them here to torture. I must choose be- tween. a hero and a coward. But I cannot climb the high bank on the other side of the creek, and with the strange intruder in the opposite direction, my avenue of escape is cut off. I must stand my ground.” Drawing my revolver grom my belt to as- certain that all the chambers were loaded. 1 crawled behind a tree to await results. I thought of the Indian raids on Spillman | Creek a year or two before. The burning to death of an innocent babe over a kettle of botling water, and my visit of a few days before to the spot on vert’s Creek where Gen. Covert and his company were massa- cred, and the shooti of my father with Indian arrows near aramie’s Peak, in ‘Wyoming, and his miraculous escape and recovery. But I had not long to meditate, for a low rustling noise from the bushes convinced me something was crawling towards me, and with my rifle at my cheek, I determined to send a bullet through the head of the first intruder that came in sight if it bore indications of an enemy.

Dr. Finney Replies to His Charge That the Association Spends $2 to Give Away $1. Father Connelly, pastor of St. Teresa Parish, had occasion to make an announce- ment from the pulpit recently regarding the society of the King’s Daughters. After the announcement, which concerned a meeting to be held during the week, he spoke of the meeting of the parish confer- ence of the St. Vincent de Pau! Society and called the attention of the congregation to an editorial] in the Church Progress and Catholic World of February 6. He advised every member of the congregation to read it that it might encourage them to aid in the charitable work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The editorial, which was indorsed by Fr. Connelly and recommended to the congrega- tion of St. Teresa Parish was as follows: CHRISTIAN CHARITY VERSUS SAL- ARIED BENEFICENCE. Out of every dollar contributed to the Provident Association about 67 cents is eaten up in expenses, and the remaining 33 cents is devoted to the relieving of one special class of poor persons only, to-wit, those who are Protestants or un- believers. Out of $77,736.47 expended by that body during the past two years only $25,590.90 ever reached those for whom ft was in- tended. The following are the figures, compiled from its obscure and complica- ted annual reports: Fiscal year 1894-’95— Expended for relleeee tft $11,939.96 Salaries and expenses 25,378.81 Total Fiscal year 1895-’96— Relief $13,650.94 26,766.76 $40,417.70 The St. Vincent de Paul Society of this ctly, to say nothing of the numerous other works of Catholic charity, expend- ed in 1894, for relief, $16,070.62, and for ex- (publication of annual report, ), $300; in 1895, for relief $20,150, ex- In 1896 it received through the ordinary channels $21,220, of which 1,000. was given to the poor and $220 used for expenses; from spécial church collections 35,000, every cent of which was given to the cyclone sufferers; and from the Merchants’ Executive Com- mittee $42,500, distributed at a cost of $600; total—for relief, $67,600; for ex- ‘penses, $900. . In other words, it costs the Provident Association $50,000 to distribute $25,000, while the St. Vincent de Paul Society can distribute $69,600 at an expense of less than $1,000! And, remember, that the St. Vincent de Paul Society is forbidden by a most strenuous rule to even inquire into the religion of a needy person before giving him assistance, and that its benefactions are always accompanied by a personal investigation of each individual case. Can it be believed that, in spite of the above facts, there are actually many Catholics who make the Provident Asso- ciation the medium of their benevolence? The following Monday evening the con- ference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society met and a member of the parish took occa- sion to censure the Church Progress’ publi- cation. Mr. Connolly, another member of the parish, and not Father Connolly, de- fended the stand taken by the Church Progress on the ground that the truth — only be arrived at by such compari- n Father Connally, when seen at the paro- chial residence, on Grand avenue and North — street, spoke freely upon the sub. “I made no attack upon the Provident As- sociation,’’ he said. “I merely called the attention of the congregation to the article to show them by comparison what good work our society was doing. “Speaking for our own conference alone, I can say that during the year 1896 we gave away $1,000 in this parish and the total ex- penditure was less than $5. That was spent for 28 postal cards for notices and 9 er eee “It cos t. Teresa parish less than 8 to apply $1,000. I know that. We make no discrimination as, to creed and I am in- formed that sometimes the Provident Ass0- ciation does so. “The St. Vincent de Paul Society pays no Salaries, and the Provident Association, I understand, does.’’ Father Connolly said that he had made no particular comment upon the article in uqes- tion beyond calling the congregation’s at- tention to it. Rev. P. Dooley, general manager of the Church Progress, when seen at his office and asked how he arrived at the conclusion set forth in the article in question, said: “From the report of the Provident Asso- ciation I will say now that it is the most complicated an misleadiig document I ever saw. I may be a few hundred dollars out One way or another in my calculations, but as to the main issue of fact, I am cor- rect in 4} that the Provident Associa- tion spends $50,000 to apply $25,000 to charity.” “As to the St. Vincent de Paul work, its report is plain and straight—$67,600 for re- lief; expenses, $900. “T refer you to the report of the Provi- dent Association for a verification of my statement. “The items marked with a check mark was actually af- fiscal year, 1895, to Oct. 31, 1896. Out expenditures of $40,417.70 re- orted Father Dooley credits to actual re- lef the following items: EXPENDITURES. Fuel and cost of delivery of same.. $4,860.91 8,751.83 563. 16 north and south, repairs 245.04 and cases Rent paid Transportation Cash loans, unrepaid Women's Summer Rest Sunday relief Women’s lodging Total relief afforded $13,890.95 These sums are all that Fr. Dooley will credit to relief. The rest of the $40,417.70 or $26,626.75 he claims was expended in ap- ET the comparatively small amount of ,890.95. His figures for the year previous ry based on a similar system of computa- on. Rev. Thomas M.

PATRIOTIO SOCIETIES MAY MERGE THEIR INTERESTS. FEELING OF RIVALRY NOW DEAD Sons of the Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution in a Strong Alliance, | Active efforts are being made to bring about the consolidation of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of the Revolution. For a long time the greatest rivalry existed between the two organizations, but within the last year there has been a growing sen- timent among the members of both societies that they should be merged. While strong efforts in this direction have been made in St. Louis, the movement to bring the soci- eties together is national in its scope. Both societies have branches all over the country. At the annual meeting of the Sons of the Revolution held in Savannah Ga., last April sentiment was largely in favor of such a union and a committee was named to con- fer with a similar committee appointed by the Sons of the American Revolution, who met at Richmond, Va., at the same time. The committees got together, but the rep- resentatives of the Sons of the Revolution insisted that they were not authorized to go to the extent asked by the Sons of the American Revolution, and the plan was abandoned temporarily. Then the members of the State branches of both sdcieties took the matter in hand, with the result that it ig now confidently expected that the con- solidation will take place within a year. Local members of both societies are of the opinion that the unfon will be brought about a short time after the annual meetings. The Sons of the Revolution will meet on April 19, and the Sons of the American Revolution on April 30. Gen. George H. Shields, President of the local Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, is enthusiastic over the pros- pects of a union of the societies. ‘I believe firmly,’’ he said, that the Sons of the Revolution, at their annual meeting, will take steps to co-operate with the Sons of the American Revolution in bri ng about a consolidation. In St. Louis there has been a feeling for some time that the societies should come together. There is really no difference between them. Their objects are the same and the qualifications for membership are identical. Their con- stitutions are similar, and in many in- stances the same person belongs to both societies. “The local societies are rivals only in the sense that each tries to enroll as many members as possible. While there has at times been transient bad feeling, the rela- tions of the local societies are now most leasant. The Sons of the American Revo- ution is the older in St. Louis. “When the Song of the Revolution was formed a little more than three years ago, some animosity was engendered, but noth- ing of the kind exists now. The only dif- ference that ever existed between the two societies was eradicated about a year ago. Prior to that time the Sons of the 2 tion admitted collateral members. The Sons of the American Revolution never did this, and the Sons of the Revolution have discontinued the practice so that there is now no bar to the proposed union. The merging of the two societies would result in an organization which would be one of the most influential in St. Louis. Both societies number among their members the best citizens, and if these gentlemen were to unite their interests in the common cause of patriotism they would be a power in loca] affairs. “There is nothing political about the so- cleties. ‘Neither are they intended to create or foster an American aristocracy.

The lowest penalty for highwa robbery, which he was charged with, is five years imprisonment. In view of the strong case the State had against Parnhagen, and the audacity of his crime, there was much as- tonishment around the Four Courts that should have permitted him to plead guilty to a lesser crime. DAMAGES FOR HIS IMPAIRED MIND TARWATER THINKS IMPRISON- MENT MADE HIM CRAZY. = | MERCHANT'S NOVEL CLAIM. Wants $25,000 Because He Was Ar- rested on a Charge That Was » Not Sustained. An amended petition will be filed within against James W. Scudder & Co., whole- sale grocers, increasing the demand for damages in the suit from $10,000 to $25,000. Although the matter has been pending since October, 1895, the details have hither- to been withheld by the lawyers, the case having never reached trial. It is now set for Feb. 24 in Judge Fisher’s division of the Circuit Court. The suit is for damages for alleged false imprisonment and the increased damages will be asked on a presentation of alleged facts that are novel in this class of litiga- tion. Tarwater was of the firm of Buzzard & Tarwater, general merchants at Gallatin, Davis County, Mo. Barly in 1893 they were visited by a traveling salesman of James W. Scudder & Co, of St. Louis, who se- cured a $500 order from them. The salesman had instructions to require a financial state- ment from each new customer, which he was to forward to his house. He got such a statement rere — & Tarwater, and e goods were delivered. i fhe spring of 1893 Buzzard & Tarwater failed. n the ground that their financial statement was false, Scudder & Co. pro- cured you Tarwater's indictment by the Louls Grand-jury for obtaining money nder false pretenses, he having personally furnished the statement. He was lodged in jail in St. Louis, but took a change of venue to Hillsboro, Mo. His defense was that the traveling salesman had made an error in the statement. He examined the books and made out the statement for himself. In doing so he entered a $1,200 mortgage as an asset instead of a labilitx. arwater copied the statement from the traveling ealesman's draft and absent-mindedly copied the mistake. water, states that the salesman testified to this at the trial and the jury acquitted Tar. water without leaving their seats. A few months later the 310,000 damage guit for false imprisonment was inetituted. Tarwater, according to 1 4 was then suffering from the shock of his the effecte of imprisonment, thought to be merely a temporary nervous affection. His affliction w more serious and de- veloped into pronounced homicidal mania. He was under the care of Dr. W. E. Black of Gallatin, but it was at length necessary to place him in the State Asylum at St. Jo- seph, under Dr. Woodson’s care. Eight months ago he improved and was removed from the asylum, He was soon compelled to return, but according to Hopkins has com- pletely recovered during the last few mon ; The last continuance of the case was con- sented to by Lawyer O'Neill Ryan, repre- senting Scudder & Co., in view of the pros- pect of Tarwater’s recovery.

BROADWAY. _ METHODS OF THE TRUST ON VIEW. STOCK YARDS INVESTIGATION ENDS SENSATIONALLY. CATTLE RAISERS ARE DRIVEN. Secretary Ramsay Says Nine-Tenths of the Packing Business Is Done by Organized Capital. The Stock Yards investigation in St. Louis by the Legislative Committee from Jefferson City closed Tuesday afternoon with sensa- tional testimony from Secretary William Ramsay of the Union Stock Yards. The testimony was reported in a late edition of the Post-Dispatch. The members of thé committee, with the exception of Represen- tative Crisp, returned to Jefferson City Tuesday night. They will complete there the taking of testimony relative to the Bt. Joe yards, purchased by Gustavus Swift, of the “Big Four.” The committee will also deliberate upon the information at hand, preparatory to reporting to the Legislature, The committee secured information show- ing the extent of the control exerted by the big beef combines on the markets, but sees no way cet breaking it owing to the fact that little of the trust’s property is in this State. The Union Stock Yards in St. Louis, according to all the information pro- curable by the committee, is entirely inde- pendent of the combine, and is the only thing that stands between the consumers in Missouri and the rapacity of the “Big Four.“ According to the testimony of Secretary Ramsay, the Union Stock Yards has paid no dividends since 1894, when one of 2 per cent was declared. The company, in fact, had been losing money the last seven years, and only continued operations because it would rather lose money than give up an honest fight. In 1896 the yards had handled 97,337 head of cattle, 382,727 hogs, 53,788 sheep and 15,776 horses and mules. Its total receipts were $47,388. The company was capitalized for ,000, and had $150,000 bonded indebted- ness. It had invested $300,000 in the abbat- toir, but that had proved a losing venture. Mr. Ramsay said there was no discrimina- tion at the Union yards against cattle driven in and driven out in favor of those brought in by rail. Where such discrimination was practiced, as in the Kansas City yards, it was for the purpose of preventing small butchers from slaughtering independently, compelling them to have their stock slaugh- tered in the abattoirs. Mr. Ramsay’s testimony further showed that with the Union Stock Yards in opera- tion, the yards in East St. Louis were com- pelled to make concessions to St. Louis packers. Concessions were also made by the railroads in the matter of freight to and from the East St. Louis yards. With the Union Stock Yards out of existence these concessions would be withdrawn and no packers could do business in St. Louis. They would have to move across the river.
