The Anti-Filley Leader Will Be Min- ister to Switzerland. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24.—Maj. John Bittinger of St. Joseph, Mo., has been se- lected to succeed John L, Peake of Kansas City as Minister to Switzerland. The mis- sion pays $5,000 per year, and is one of the most pleasant, though not the most profit able, missions at President McKinley’s dis- posal. John L. Peake, the present Minis- ter, will resign early in March, and the ap- pointment of Maj. Bittinger to succeed him will be made soon after McKinley is in- augurated. The news that Maj. Bittinger is to succeed Minister Peake was received here to-day in a way which makes it almost authoritative. Maj. Bittinger’s nomination will be a bitter pill to the Filleyites of Missouri. For many years he has been the anti-Filley leader in Northwestern Missouri. He has held that section solid against “De Ole Man.’ Now that he is to be rewarded for his services to the party by a pleasant berth in the diplomatic service, his enemies will find little chance to make a fight against him in the Senate. The Senators from Mis- souri will interpose no objections to his confirmation, and there is no doubt he will be on his way to Switzerland. TACOMA WHEAT ADVANCES. A Big Rise Attributed to Foreign De- mand. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 25.—The price of wheat in the Tacoma market has advanced 5 cents, making an advance of 15 cents in two days. At the close of business yester- day No, 1 club was quoted at 85 cents, and No. 1 bluestem at 90c, or about 17 cents above Chicago quotations. A brisk demand for milling purposes and a short supply, due to exportations to India, Europe and Africa, are the causes of sharp advance. There are about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat in the State, held chiefly by farmers and warehousemen who have been waiting for higher prices. WAITING FOR DEATH. Mrs. Beecher’s Condition Is Now Pro- nounced Hopeless. STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 2%.—Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher had a somewhat restless night and this modrning was noticeably weaker. The aged woman is apparently not suffering, but her friends state that her condition has become hopeless. Rev. Sam- uel Scovill, Mrs. Beecher’s son-in-law, said to-day that death might be looked for with- in two or three days. MELBA CANNOT COME. The Prima Donna’s Malady Does Not Yield Readily to Treatment. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Feb. %.—The Metropolitan Opera management has given up all hope of the return of Melba. Mr. Grau has re- ceived two cablegrams, one from Melba and the other from Marchesi, her old teacher, in which it was said that her malady did not yield readily to treatment and that it would be impossible for her to réturn this season, SUED FOR $10,000 A Boy Asks Damages for Loss of a Hand.

REMAING FHM, GREECE WILL NOT RETREAT FROM HER DECISION. ee MAY SEND TROOPS. Meanwhile Lord Salisbury Announces Great Britain’s Policy of Coercion. ATHENS, Feb. %.—King George and his Government reiterate that it is impossible for them to retreat from their decision in regard to Crete—a decision which is sup- ported by the whole nation. LONDON, Feb. 2%.—In the House of Lords to-day the Marquis of Salisbury, re- plying to a question from Lord Dunraven, said that as the best means of placing the House in possession of the facts of the moment as regards Crete, he would read a telegram sent yesterday evening to the British Ambassadors to the Courts of the Great Powers. It was: ‘Inform the Government to which you are accredited that Her Majesty’s Government purpose to make the following declaration of the policy which they fntend to pursue and which they believe is in accordance with the views of their allies: “Firstly—The establishment of an admin- istrative autonomy in Crete as a neces- sary condition for the termination of the international occupation. ‘“‘Secondly—That subject to the above con- ditions, Crete ought in their judgment to remain a portion of the Turkish Empire. “Thirdly—The Turks and Greeks should be informed by the Powers of this resolu- tion. “Fourthly—If Turkey or Greece should | persistently refuse to withdraw their mili- tary and naval forces from the island, the Powers should impose their decision by force upon the state so refusing.” PARIS, Feb. 25.—A special dispatch re- ceived here from Larisa, Greece, says that 20,000 Greek troops are concentrated there, and that the greatest activity prevails. The dispatch further says that it Is believed at Larissa that general hostilities will im- mediately begin on :he frontier in the event of Greece not being allowed to annex the island of Crete. NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—A special to the Herald from Constantinople says: Ismail Bey, Governor ad interim of the palace, has officially informed the ambas- sadors that, taking the gravity of the events into consideration, the Turkish Government no longer considers itself bound by its promises with regard to the sending of re- inforcements to Crete. The ambassadors are now trying to per- suade the Porte to grant them a week's delay to re-establish order and to organize the administration. : The foreign admirals have received orders to persuade the insurgents and the Greeks to consent to an armistice of eight days. The Porté insists upon the departure of the new vali of Crete. — os LONDON, Feb. 25.—The Chronicle, in big type, prints a display article this morning, calling on the nation to take active steps in the Cretan situation.

SSS ae OLD MARS GETTING READY FOR BUSINESS ONCE MORE: —From the New York Evening‘Journal TRIED TO. KILL FE AND SELF WILD ATTACK OF,BENRY NEMEC, A JEALOUS FOUNDRYMAN. SHE ESCAPES, BUT HE MAY DIE. Attempted Murder the Tragic Culmina- tion of a Life of Drink, Abuse and Suffering. Henry Nemec, a Bohemian foundry- worker, made his second attempt to kill his wife Thursday morning, and having failed put two bullets in his own head. He is probably fatally wounded. The woman escaped without a scratch, but she had ‘to make a desperate fight with the infuriated man in order to save herself. ‘\ He fired three shots at her in her home at 1858 South Thirteenth street, but none of them took effect. . Nemec has not been living with his wife for more than a month. She left him on account of his drinking habits, and his con- With her she took their only child, a pretty 4-year-old girl, named Mary. Mrs, Nemec rented for herself and baby a room in the rear of the low one-story building in Thirteenth street. She secured a position in the hemp factory at Ninth and Barry streets and settled down to earn a living for herself and child. But the drunken Nemec was not satisfied with this. He must have her back again, and from time to time he made repeated proposals to her to return. He went to live with his sister, Mrs. John Kreka, at 1027 Geyer avenue, so that he might be near the woman he had loved and abused. The wife was persistent in her refusal to go back to him. She knew what his promis- es were of old and she determined to be quit of him entirely. Sq Nemec fumed and swore that she would either come back to him or go out to the cemetery in a black box. Sunday night he tried to make his threat good. His wife and little Mary were in their room, preparing to retire. There was a lighted lamp on the table. Mary was kneel- ing by the bedside, saying her prayers, while the mother stood over prompting her. Suddenly there was a shot and a crash of lass. A bullet whizzed by Mrs. Nemec’s ead and buried itself in the wall. The woman screamed and glanced at the win- dow. A man’s face was just disappearing. She recognized it as that of her husband. He had tried to kill her and, failing, fled. The next day Mrs. Nemec went to the Four Courts and secured a warrant against her husband, charging him with aesault to kill. It was placed in a deputy Sheriff's hands for service, but the officer d.d not succeed in finding the man. It was thought he might have left the c.ty. a 5180 o’clock. She had to be at the hemp fac- tory early, and it was necessary for her to qook breakfast and take Httle Mary to a nursery for the day. '. Adversity had made of her a brave woman, and she dressed herself and frittered about the kitchen stove with scarcely a thought of fear. She had been out In the yard for coal, and returning had ee to latch the door. “Come, eer t's time to get up,” she said to her chi d about 6 o’clock. She had let the little one stay in bed until the breakfast was all but ready. As she walked toward the bed she heard the door thrust open. She turned and recog- BURIAL PERMITS.

In his right hand he held a revolver. “‘Now I’ve got you,”’ he exclaimed and then he pulled the trigger. The bullet went wild and entered the wall back of the table beside the bed. Mrs. Nemec saw that her husband meant to kill her. She rushed for him and grabbed him by the hands. There was a terrific strug- gle. The woman had the man’s right arm clasped around the wrist. Fear gave her tre- mendous strength. Together they wrestled. Nemec always trying to get his weapon in line with his intended victim’s body. Once he thought he had it and again Re pulled the trigger. The bullet sped by the woman's head, over that of the child and lodged in the wall above the bed. Poor little Mary was shrieking in fright. “Don’t hurt mamma,” she kept crying, but neither of the desperate parents heard her. A third time the Bohemian thought he could end the struggle, but luck was against him. He could not get his pistol pointed — woman, and though he fired, she was safe. Thoroughly exhausted by this time, Mrs. Nemec realized that unless she escaped she must die. Flinging her husband from her in a final effort, she sprang away from him and out the door into the hall. The family of Joseph Klasec live just across this hall. The door was shut, but the frightened wife threw herself against it. It opened, and falling inside, she cried out that her husband was trying to kill her. Klasec was near the door and, closing it quickly, he threw the bolt. Hardly had he done so than two more pistol shots were heard. Mrs. Nemec sprang to ner feet. She thought of little Mary in the room with the madman. ‘“*He’s killed my baby,”’ she screamed, and dragging Klasec from the door she opened it, darted across the hall and into the room from which she had just fled, her mother’s love now awakened, making her careless of death. In the bed sat the sobbing child. She was unhurt, but on the floor, stretched at full length, was her father with two bullet holes in his head. He was unconscious. Having failed in his atempt to kill his wife, he had sought to take his own life. A policeman was called, and finding that the man still alive, sent him to the City Hos- tal. " elete it was found that one ball had passed through the left side of the chin, up- ward, and out by the cheekbone. The other had been fired under the chin and grazng the tongue. had lodged in the roof of the mouth. It could not be extracted. Nemec’s condition is very serious. He has suffered greatly from loss of blood. Owing to the nature of h:s wounds, he cannot talk. Neither Mrs. Nemec nor the baby are the worse for their experience, save from the shock to their nerves. A warrant chargin Nemec with assault to kill was issue Thursday morning. THE WEATHER FORECAST. CLOUDY AND COLDER.

He Is Young, Has Prospects, and Eloped With the Woman Whom He Now Spurns. There are other charges contained tn the bill for divorce filed by Charles T. Wilson in the Circuit Court, but the one he places the most stress upon is that Mrs. Lillie Wilson deceived him concerning his son and heir. He alleges that the child, instead of being born to Mrs. Wilson, as she represented to him, was a foundling, rung in on him with the assistance of a doctor and a midwife, for some purpose which he has not succeeded in fathoming. He names no names in this connection, merely asserting it as a fact. First Mr. Wilson sets forth that he was married in Cincinnati, June 1, 1896, and that Mrs Wilson immediately afterward began to display an unjustly jealous temperament. These displays increased in ye after they removed to 8t. Louis. December, 1896, she followed him into a saloon and after upbraiding him, struck him on the mouth. Then the bill alleges that Mrs. Wilson willfully deceived her husband as to her ‘with a physician and a midwife. _—- -——— >_ -_—— : POST-DISPATCH THERMOMETER. | condition shortly after their marriage. To make her contention good she cons Early in February she went to the midwife’s house and an infant was brought in and placed by her side. When Wilson called to see her on February 4 she represented the child to be her own. Wilson alleges that he discovered the truth the next day and that a separa- tion was the result. Mrs. Wilson’s present address was fur- nished Sheriff. Troll as at 1709 Olive street, but a deputy who went there to serve the papers found no one of that name. ‘ilson is 24 years old and lives with his widowed mother at 1410 Old Manchester road. He is out of a job, but has “expecta- tions” in the person of a wealthy relative whose health is not of the best. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Wilson said he had learned the reason his wife was not found at 1709 Olive street was that she went to Columbus, O., several days ago in anticipation of the divorce suit. He was much averse to notoriety, he said, although he courted it when he married by eloping with and making his wife the woman to whom his-mother objected. Wilson was so disgusted when asked by the reporter whether the young innocent was a boy ora girl he replied that he never took the trouble to inquire. He declined to discuss his troubles any further, ard at the suggestion of his mother asked the reporter how he would like to be shown up as the victim of such a sg He admitted he was somewhat su at the occurrence alleged by Mrs. eight monthe after he married her, and it made him ‘“‘sore’’ when he convinced him- self that he was the victim of an attempted confidence game. The young benedict and alleged father was less discreet in his conversation at the police station next door to his home. Mrs. had left her husband to go to the physician's house pending her alleged approach ma ternity. After sufficient lapse of time she returned one night with a gentleman. She took a seat in th lice station end her friend went to prepare Wilson for her com- ing. She had Wiison's alleged offs in her arms. Finally she went to the house herself and a stormy inte ing {lson ant, the woman. She was a few minutes and then permitted to leave. Afterward Wilson told Sergt.

Senators Betligerent and One of the Most Exciting Debates [Ever Known Followed. >. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations met to-day to consider the request of the State De- partment that the committee do not press its resolution demanding the immediate re- lease of Gen. Julio Sanguilly from a Spanish prison in Cuba. The committee gave the subject careful attention, but declined to grant the request. It appeared, from the statement of the Secretary of State, that the Spanish Government’s promise to re- lease Sanguilly was coupled with the pro- vision that he should withdraw his appeal from the second sentence of the Cuban court and it was stated that release could be secured at any time that this condition should be complied with. The committee’s discussion was on this point, and the opin- ion was generally expressed that for Gen. Sangullly to pursue this course would be inadvisable for the reason that it would amount to an acknowledgment of guilt and would be equivalent to the abandonment of pany claims that he might have against the Spanish Government for damages. The committee therefore decided to press the consideration of the’ resolution re- ported vesterday. Chairman Hitt of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee assured the committee to- day that in case the Senate. pass the Sanguilly resolution he would call the com- mittee together to consider it. The Senate met at 11 o’olock and the Cub- an matter promptly came up, Senator Allen of Nebraska taking the floor on his resolu- tion of yesterday. At 1 o’clock the Sanguilly resolution was displaced by the bankruptcy bill, although an effort was made to get further consider- ation of it. The bankruptcy bill was laid aside and the Indian apropriation bill taken up. Mr. Daniel was, however, allowed to con- clude his remarks on Sanguilly resolution. The first resolution coming over from yes- terday was that of Mr. Allen asking the President to use effective measures to pro- tect American citizens in Cuba and to that end to send United States warships to Cuban ports. Mr. Allen said American citi- gens were daily being arrested in Cuba and thrown into prison without any trial. It seemed to be the disposition of Spain to punish every American citizen in Cuba, It was, he said, a_ story of barbarity and atrocity. Recently a lady had been taken by Spanish officials and her person searched, Little girls had been gathered in Cuba and sold into the worst conceivable slavery. Spanish soldiers had taken infants by the heels and hacked them to pieces and killed the parents, Such action was a blot ¢ the civilization of the age. Why shoy Congress remain supine? The time would come when this inaction would make our people hang their heads for being American | citizens. é; Mr. Morgan said the Committee on For- éign Relations had pressed forward this rotection to American citizens as fast as he well authenticated facts would permit. The reports of atrocities against women and little girls were vague and did not have that verification warranting action by the committee. It had, however, bro t for- a od e resolution for the immediate ‘re- Jease of Sanguilly, as the facts in this case were well established beyorl question, r. Hoar inquired whether some time s ig not be given for Senators to examine into the Banguilly report. as action on the pte, ed involved grave international consid- erations. r. Morgan felt that speedy action was es- ential. He reviewed the circumstances of Sanguilly’s arrest and long confinement; ie roof of his American citizensh p; his om from complicity in the revolution; his several trials. and other well-known circumstances in the case. While the Cuban debate procéeded the public Rpilerias filled rapidly. Mr. Morgan read from the treaties and, pointed out the essential] offenses agelngt Sanguilly to be: Selitary confinement with. out opportunity to prepare a defense; no bail except bond to pay the costs of his own prosecution; no trial within a limited time as provided | by. freaty: piling. up gthes es 0 ; es several trials; receiving hearsay and unt- sworn testimony. One of Sangulilly’s chief witnesses, Ca- loma, he said, ha n ard before he could be : trials ad shown the extreme hatred extetins ainst the United States, the Spanish - indulging in diatribes nst this country. e resolution demanding tmme- diate release was justified o grou for never in the ee ee tion was urged on still higher grounds, namely, that of the Government of Spain utterly ignoring the rights of this American citizen under our treaties. At the request of Mr. Morgan the Allen resolution was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, the assurance being hee that it would receive speedy consider- ation. The Sanguilly resolution was then brought directly before the Senate. Mr. Daniel (D.), Virginia, a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, followed in support of the resolution. Few were aware, he said, of the enormity of the case, San- guilly had been held for two years yester- day. Twice he had been condemned to sol- itary imprisonment in chains, on military, unsworn testimony. He had been treated rigorously, harshly and brutally. The man- ner of his treatment was a disgrace to this civilization. “Our representative in Cuba has been arrogantly insulted by the Spanish authori- } ties,’ exclaimed Mr. Daniel, “and this country hag been insulted by the Spanish authorities. I have been told by a high Spantsh authority that the Jooseunatioe of the Sanguilly case was a disgrace to the United States and to the American flag. If a fleet of the United States had been sent to redress that insult it would have been sus- tained by every citizen of the United States.’’ There was intense interest throughout the Senate and in the galleries as Mr. Daniel’s words rang through the chamber. It was but the prelude, however, to a most dramatic in- .cident. Mr. Daniel said enough diplomatic red tape had been spun on this case to build a cable from the United States to Spain, and enough ink for an ocean in which to lay the cable. Mr. Hale (Rep.) of Maine rose at this point and began a series of inquiries, which brought the proceedings to fever heat. Since reference had been made to red tape, said Mr. Hale, had not this whole question been the subject of direct diplomatic nego- tiations between .the State Department and Spain and was there not assurance reszpect- ing the release of Sanguilly in a few days? “We have no such information,” answered Mr. Daniel. “Is there not a communication from the Secréta of State saying he expects San- guilly will be released in a few days?’ in- sisted Mr. Hale. ‘There is not,”’ said Mr. Daniel decisively. “T ask the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) if he has not a letter——”" Mr. Daniel broke in with a protest and declined to yleid further. Mr. Hale insisted that Mr, Daniel was a member of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions and that committee was the organ of the Senate. “But I am the organ of my State,” de- clared the Virginia. Senator. Then he add- ed with scorn: ‘‘When I get through I will yield to some other organ—the organ of the Captain-General of Cuba or the Queen of Spain.’’ Mr. Daniel was looking directly at Mr. Hale and the remark sent a buzz of sur- prise through the chamber. Mr. Hale said the allusion carried no per- sonal offense to him. If offensive things were to be said he could say something in that line. He in turn was addressing Mr. Daniel across the aisle. The Virginia Senator was quick to eay he hoped that any badinage would not be taken as personally offensive. “The Senator has not offended me in the least,’’ replied Mr, Hale. This was followed immediately by another explosion. Mr. Daniel proceeded to say that the State Department had dealt with this case for two years and that was enough to get an American citizen out of Mr. Gray arose and, eaid: “I seen an Associated Press. dispateh Havana, stating ~ that pe Sanguilly has withdrawn der to facilitate his release,’’ Mr. Daniel was quick to answer. “I decline to recognize the justice of imposing an ditions on the release of an zen from unjust imprisonment, If sented Sanguilly I would tele h to withdraw his appeal.

KNOGKED OUT THE REPUBLICANS OUTGENER- ALED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Now THEY WANT REVENGE. Profess to Be Horrified nt Late Demo- cratic State Management and Will Investigate. special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 3.—The Repub- licans of the House, although they have a big majority, have been outgeneraled and defeated by the Democrats on every im- portant issue up to date. The fact is there is not an‘iadroit leader on the Republican side. This was fully demonstrated yester- day when Needles called up the casual de- ficiency bill allowing the Governor, Treas- urer and Auditor to borrow $250,000. Several] Republican members were absent and the Democrats were almost a unit against the measure. In addition to this inane was an x _— re a two- .. ese\. [acts apparent Needles deliberately killed his wan mone ure, Selby, Merriam, Miller and Nohe sat by deliberately and witnessed the demise. Now the Republicans c the defeat of the bill to the minority. ne latter insist that they would have supported the bill to a man {ff the Republicans had accepted the amendment to restrict the force of the bill to this particular deficit. ..Now the Republicans are up in arms. Anderson in the caucus which followed the House adjournment made an attack on the conduct of the State institutions, and said that the Republicans should see that every one of them was investigated. He chargea the late Democratic administration with reckless expenditure of the State’s finances and charged the depleted condition of the treasury to Democratic extravagance. It was on his motion that a committee was pera to draft an investigation resolu- t on which will be presented to the House. Now that the Republicans decided to hold sessions during next week while the Wash- ington festivities are at their height, th do not know what they will do. There wiil not be a baker’s dozen on the Republican side during the week, .as a majority of those voting against the adjournment were driven to it by cowardice, and expect to be in Washington. Miller, in speaking to the caucus yesterday, said that those who were not going‘ to ashington should up- hold the reputation of the majority side by a bluff at work. Miller is after the depart- ment stores and he wants All the help he can get from the country members, but they are a little timid yet as they are afraid that any legislation on this sub- ject may interfere with the general stores at the cross-roads. It is not at all likely that the department stores can be regu- lated under the constitution, but they may be frightened into sending lobbyists here and —— is what the Republicans really want. AGAINST OPTIONS. Stringent Bill Introduced in the House of Representa‘tives. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Il, Feb. 25.—Representa- tive Gallagher introduced in the House a bil] which strikes at the heart of the Board of Trade of Chicago. It provides that in sales of grain in quantities of over 1,000 bushels or sale of stocks amounting to $100, the person making the purchase must pay at the time of purchase in fuli, or de- posit with the seller securities’ covering the entire amount.

SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Feb, 25.—Representa- tive Johnson. of Whiteside introduced a casual deficiency bill which he said did not contain the objectionable features of the Needles bill which was defeated yesterday. Mr. Johnson said the Democrats favored the measure and moved that it be advanced to second reading without reference to a committee. There were objections to this disposition of the bill from the Republican side, and regardless of the frantic efforts of the Democrats to obtain an aye and no vote, Speaker Curtis arbitrarily declared the motion to vance lost. e bill was in sent to the Committee on Appropria.

A third bridge, unless it is so con- structed as to serve at once the purposes of railroad traffic, can be of compara- tively little benefit to St. Louis business. Under the terms of the charter for the bridge to be erected across the river at Cass avenue, the roadway will be for wagon and street car traffic only. There is a clause in the charter, however, which provides that the structure shall be so built that it can be adapted to railroad traffic when necessity requires. The necessity is already here, and the utilization of the new bridge for railroad traffic cannot be long postponed if the business interests of St. Louis are to be considered. Locating the bridge three-quarters of @ mile from either of the present struct- ures is distinctly a triumph of the Gould monopoly, and is doubtless so understood by the Senate conferees who insisted on that limitation. The river interests joined in the protest against the half- mile limit not because a half-mile is any more of a danger to navigation than three-quarters of a mile, but because the river interests were willing to oppose the Murphy bill, or any other bridge bill in any shape such a bill might take. Any bridge is a defeat for the river in- terest, whether it be within the half-mile or ten-mile limit. St. Louis makes slow progress in re- moving the embargo on her commerce. Let us hope that progress is as sure as it is slow. A CORPORATION EXAMINER. The proper way to ascertain the amount and value of corporation securities is by enlarging the powers of Assessors and Boards of Equalization, and not only enlarging such powers but making man- datory the duties which the powers imply and confer. Accordingly, any bill introduced in the Missouri Legislature to create the office of Corporation Examiner, should be re- garded as @ measure of obstruction against such a revision of general tax- ing laws as is needed in nearly every State of the Union. The bill is said to be demanded by in- vestors. What investors want is to get g00d stocks at a low price. Their in- terest, after that, is to-have the stock as- sensed as far below its rea) value as pos- sible. But the only way the State can serve the investors is by serving the peo- ble. And to serve the people the State must devise a scheme of taxation which wiil ascertain real values of all forms of Property. Under & fair assessment law, no invest- or need go astray as to stocks and bonds @ny more than as to real estate. At present the tax receipt is a guide to the value of real estate. So it should be as to every form of property. =—- THE BOOM IN MEXICO. It is discouraging, nowadays, to read the news from Mexico. That silver stand. ard countryis In the enjoyment of a high degree of prosperity. Millions of dollars ave being tnyested in her mines, rail. roads and ma&fufactories, Her cities and larger towns are growing at a rapid rate. The supply of skilled lapor is not equal to the demand, and such labor commands , concluding from these figures that the ,now the Prince and Tanner is the same during the late campaign was being with- held from this country until we had killed the “silver craze,” is going into Mexico for investment in many lines. The En- glishmen, having forced us to pay in gold the annual interest on their investments in this country, are turning the gold thus secured into Mexican silver for tnvest- ments tn highly profitable enterprises in that country. But worse follows. The great moneyed interests of New York, Boston and Phil- lin Mexico. They are turning their Amer- ican gold into silver at a premium and | putting it where it will yield the largest results, that investors can command a premium enough that we are at last on a “sound money” basis. We commend this reflec- tion to such of our business interests as can extract comfort from it. We shall be glad to hear from such of them as are able to do so. —- -— a> - os THE STAIN OF BLOOD. It has been evident for months that Grover Cleveland, the fat Judas of Amer- ican politics, would go out of office at the end of his term followed by the exe- crations of the voters who placed him in power, coupled with exultant satisfaction “- the thought that at last they are rid of m. @No man who has ever held high public office in the United States was ever so hated and despised by his former parti- Sans as President Cleveland is to-day. Millions of Democrats, who four years ago were looking forward to his in- auguration as a great triumph for their party and its principles, willwelcome the installment of McKinley next week as a relief from the disgrace and shame of an Administration for which they were held responsible. And it looks now as if to the disgust inspired by his treachery will be added a feeling of positive loathing and abhorrence at his stolid indifference to the cries which come from Cuba of help- less American citizens subjected to im- prisonment without cause and menaced with violent deaths, Tattooed with the ineffaceable stigma of the bond deals with Pierpont Morgan, the bargain with the Sugar Trust, and the commerce with Broker Benedict of Wall street, it now looks as if he will go out of office with the stain of blood upon him—the blood of Ruiz, beaten to death In a Spanish prison because the Cleve- land administration closed its ears to the appeal of an American Consul] General for a vindication of the rights of Amer- ican citizenship. _—— oo 9 A TOBACCO TRUST LESSON. President Duke of the Tobacco Trust has just been examined by the Lexow Committee. He says that in 1890, at the time the Trust was formed, the various companies that now compose it employed 5,895 tobacco workers, and that now the Trust gives employment to 9,194 workers, an increase of 3,299 hands. The workingmen will be mistaken in Trust has been a good thing for Labor. Mr. Duke also admits that at the consol- idation of the companies that form the Trust the capital stock was $25,000,000 and that now it is $79,830,000, an increase of $54,820,000. A capital of $25,000,000 gave work to 5,895 persons. A capital cf $79,830,000 gives work to only 9,194 persons, or 3,299 hands for an additional $54,830,000. Each million dollars of the $25,000,000 gave em- ployment in round numbers to*236. per- sons. But each million dollars of the present capital of $79,000,000 gives work t only 116 persons. | If the tobacco industry had grown up under normal or competitive conditions, it is not likely that the capital stock of the companies that formed the Trust would now aggregate $79,000,000, but it is reasonable to suppose that it would have grown very greatly, and that each million dollars would have employed as many persons as a million dollars invested in this industry gave work to before the Trust took hold, In the nature of things, the modern Trust is not a benefit to the workingman. Besides taxing him “all the traffic will bear’ as a consumer, it closes plants and factories, and actually employs fewer hands than would be given work if no Trust existed. o-oo THE PRINCE AND THE TANNER. Governor Tanner is going to Washing- ton. Nothing can hold him back. If the Democrats in the Illinois Legislature imagined that withholding from him the power to borrow $250,000 would restrain his martial ardor, or patriotic enthusi- asm, they do not know the man. Tanner feels himself called upon to make a display of overflowing exuber- ance on Inauguration Day. The opposi- tion of his machine, first to McKinley and next to Mason, the McKinley candidate for Senator, has led him to fear the worst, He sees himself isolated. He sees Mason exalted. Tanner is scared. And so, at the head of a gorgeous staff, resplendent in uniform and canopied with nodding plumes, he will march along Pennsylvania avenue in eloquent witness of his fidelity to the rising sun. No matter about the weather. It may be bad. Good or bad matters not to Tan- ner. And it matters not what things of evil report he may have said of McKinley in the days of auld lang syne. ‘Let the dead past bury its dead.” McKinley is sort of courtier as the High Chamberlain in “Lalla Rookh’” who, if the Prince at noonday should say it was night, would swear he could see the moon and stars. Mr, Pearson of North Carolina says of Winyaw Bay, in South Carolina, for which an appropriation of $400,000 is pro- vided in the river and harbor bill: “The Collector of Customs only takes In $356 ® year, and it will be 2,000,000 years be- fore he will take in enough to pay the amount of the appropriation provided by this bill, which is only a beginning of the outlay.” Clearly, Congress should throw no money into Winyaw Bay. The Perrine investigation settles all doubts as to the Florida land grant of 23,000 acreg to the President's father-in- law. The grant should not have been made and would not have been made save to please the President. Mr. Francis has paid very mu erihtetin. . ch too mock for his Mr. McKinley's Attorney-General makes adelphia are making large investments The gold organs contend that the fact. on their gold in Mexico is assurance deal in the management of trusts that would not bear talking about for publica- tion. Res Does: any one doubt that many thou- sands are.out of employment? A few days ago a porter in St. Louis was killed on an elevator. whom he was employed decided not ‘to fill his place, they received 150 applica- tions for the supposed vacancy from per- sons who had read or heard of the fatal- ity. It is a strange condition both in Europe and America. While public opinion both here and there condemns the Turks, and public opinion here emphatically demands Cuban freedom, the Governments of the old world and the new seem to be 3 with the barbarian oppressors. es ' Gov. Stephens’ course in excluding bolt- ers from office in Missouri is approved by his party, and cannot reasonably be com- | plained of by President: Cleveland, who takes so much pleasure in’ dismissing” capable and honest Democrats from the public service, .

Come and see them whether you buy or elected Sheriff, for example, and Hanna had . | Then nobody would have been very greatly | ehocked if Hanna had said? The Hanna Mess. Much more significance than appears on the surface is in Gov. Bushnell’s announce- ment that he will appoint Mark Hanna to Senator Sherman's seat. It is the consum- mation of one of the most discreditable in- trigues ever carried on in American politics, and @ consummation all the more evil and dangerous because a President-elect of the United States has submitted to be used as & club by the man to whose money and whose daring he owes the Presidency. \ The transaction would have been natural enough, perhaps, if McKinley had been desired to be put on the police foree, say. “TI put up the money for your campaign. I did the fine work for’you. I elected you. Now you are therefore in a position to force the Chief to make me a roundsman. It’s only decent. It’s only common gratitude.’ But there is something about the Chief Magis- tracy of the nation, a certain dignity,a maj- esty, it may be, that renders such 4 bar- gain abhorrent and makes every intelligent and right-thinking man uncomfortable to hear of it... Nor is this the worst of the matter. In order to serve Hanna’s ambition McKinley found it necessary to propitiate George B. Cox, the boss of Cincinnati, a man whom he has frequently attacked on the ground that Cox is a corruptionist. Cox, of course, wanted the Federal patronage in his part of the State; and if he should get it he might be willing to persuade Foraker to order Bushnell to appoint Hanna. Hanna is to be appointed; he could be appointed in no other way than this; the inference, there- fore, is irresistible that McKinley “pro- pitiated”’ Cox, It is a nasty mess, and does not have the effect of reassuring those who have feared continuance of Hanna’s domination of Mc- Kinley or those who have suspected that McKinley is only a clay model of a man.

Gogny sang the role of Don Jose with mechanical correctness. His voice is equal to every requirement of the part, but his tones lacked fire and feeling. " His acting was as good as the provocation he had. Carl §o- mer’s Escamillo was sung with great power and deficient expression. It was a Wag- nertan Toreador. The audience treated him kindly, but the applause was a recognition of his ability as a vocalist rather than 4 commendation of the spirit of the song. In truth, the number has been more effectively rendered by many a man who can’t sing nearly so well ag Herr Somer. The Micaela of Augusta Vollmar was in no way striking. The ensemble work of the company lacked warmth. The same criticism applies to the orchestra. “Carmen” is not the forte of the Damrosch organization.

Reed knows well that in giving the assistance of his power- ful office to the carrying out of the Mce- Kinley tariff programme, as a means of bringing good times, he will be merely assisting in a great “‘bluff;” that he and his associates will be merely taking the chances on prosperity coming back any- how, happening to hit on the heels of tariff legislation. He is not allowing himself to become any more conspicuous in the scheme than the duties of his office act- ually require. If the good times do not come, he will desire to have as little asso- ciation as possible with the spectacular failure of the McKinley patent medicine. He is a man of enough intellectual breadth to know that Government is not instituted to take care of people or to make their business good or bad. He knows that while Government action and legislation may be helpful or hurtful to business, the oppor- tunity to apply such remedies as there | might be in legislation has been for the, present passed over. Still, Mr. Reed is enough of a practical politician to possibly join in the general | Republican glorification if a boom should come, and come to stay, immediately fol- lowing the performance at the extra ses- sion. Indeed, all of us will welcome a resumption of thrift in agriculture and the turning of the wheels of manufacture again, and not be technical about who gets the credit.

When I first knew him years ago he was supposed to be the backer of a saloon which was in a lo- cality that was so tough it was known as “dead man’s corner’ from the number of murders committed there. But no man could make a dead man of Cox. He became abso- lute sovereign of his district and goon a big boss by controlling primaries and dic- tating nominations to the Ohio Legislature. Cox is rich and is the strongest politician in Ohio when it comes to making candi- dates. He has a great mansion on Clifton Heights which is ostentatiously imposing.

Mr. Willard and his excellent company dropped *"The Rogue's Comedy”’ at the Olympic last even-- ing and substituted another of Henry Arthur Jones’ plays, ‘‘The Middleman.”’ The latter piece is not unfamiliar to St. Louls theater-goers, and hence needs but a vassing word of comment as a vehicle for the talents of this favorite English F will sing Brunnhil actor. It was presented with all ite former close attention to detail, and the thrilling scenes of thie old potter’s work-room and his firing-house were as effective as if they'd never been witnessed by local audiences before. It was not a large audi- ence which greeted Mr. Willard in ‘“‘The Middle- man.’ A new Carmen in town seemed to heve been a stronger magnet, but what the Willard anu- dience-lacked in numbers it fully made up in ap- preciation. The star was applauded in a most gratifying manner when be made his first entrance, -and at the close of the second and third acts the cheers and hand-clapping amounted to a demon- stration. At the end of the play the company was made to respond to a bearty call, and that in it- self is tribute enough in these days when folks rush madly for wraps and bats and are out in the aisles before the last line of the piece has been spoken. Mr. Willayd was in splendid spirit last evening. His performance of old Cyrus Blen- karn seemed nothing short of wonderful to those who but the night before had seen him as the frothy, impudent and youthful faker, Bailey Prothero. It simply showed that he can do what many another delightful and entertaining player cannot do—leave bis personality in the dressing- room with his other clothes. Comparisons, es- pecially theatrical comparisons, are odious, but fascinating, and it is interesting to consider in that manner Mr. Willard’s support.

a ROWTH OF Th ~ HARRISON BOOM ae i FAR-SEEING POLITICIANS ARE PUSHING IT ALONG. BROWN’S BOOMERS’ PROTEST. ead . Don’t Think Mr. Harrison Should Have Entered the Race Without Their Permission. Since the campaign committee for Edwin Fiarrison was announced exclusively in the Post-Dispatch of Wednesday, the Harrison boom has assumed wonderful proportions. That committee is composed of men whose lives have been spent in the interest of St.-Louls’ prosperity; whose,names have been long identified with all the public- spirited enterprises launched in this city for two decades and more. It ts not surprising, therefore, that these men acting as cam- paign managers for Mr. Harrison should fnspire immediate confidence in business cir- cles in the Harrison boom. In fact, the bare announcement of Mr. Wlarrison’s consent to run for the Demo- eratic nomination for Mayor elicited expres- sions of esteem and hearty support from all branches of mercantile, manufacturing and financial interests of the city. No public enterprise for years was inaugurated in this city but Mr. Harrison gavVe it his finan- cial and moral support. His friends point to these facts as cause for the remarkable spread of enthusiasm in the Harrison mcvement. They say the time is ripe for a man with a clean record to come to the front without fear of defeat, and make the race for Mayor. A wave of reform in municipal government has swept from New York toChicago and on to St. Louis. Old-time office-seekers must take a back seat for once. The demand is for clean business men of brains and executive ability to be placed at the head of the city government. In the light of this demand Mr. Harrison, it is claimed, is the ideal man for Mayor. The spontaneous enthusiasm for his candidacy, it - argued, indicates that he is the man of the our. To show the high character of the support , given Mr. Harrison it Is only necessary to glance at the names of his campaign com- mittee: ' Cc. D. McLure, Chairman; Chas. Gregory, ames Duross, Joseph Boyce, E oore, atrick J. Kelly, M. C. Wetmore, Dr. F. J. Lutz, Thomas E. Barrett, L. M. Rumsey, A. B. Ewing, Frank K. Ryan, Dr. A. V. L. Brokaw. FE. D. Fuerborn, Harrison I. Drum- mond, William Cullinane, S. 8. Bass, Pierre Chouteau, William G. Frye, David W. Ca- ruth uis Fusz. P. J. Carmody, Adie] Sher- wood, Judge McKelychan, W. R. Donaldson, John G. Priest and William G. Clark. “Practical politicians study politics as a science, as an art, or as a business, just @s you please to classify it,’’ said a pro- fessional Democratic politician Wednes- day, “and they learn to sift and discrimi- te amd pick candidates who can win. ow, there is no use denying that the public wants a Mayor this time whose life and associations have been free from politl- eal strife, one who can go into that office. The pub-. without being bound by a ‘pull.’ lic wants a business man of high standing, who possesses the requisite qualifications for public office. The mam to fill the bill, is Edwin Harrison. “More than that, the Republicans are holding all the city offices now. The Dem- ocratic party workers are out, and some of them am gnawing files, so to speak. The practical politiclans want to obtain some of the city patronage, as it is only natural | that they should have that desire. They know that the only way they can obtain this patronage is to nominate the kind of, That | man the public wgnts for Mayor. man is Harrison. his explains why the party workers are flocking to the Harrison camp. They know it is good politics to nominate Harrison.” Boomers in the Noonan eamp are keeping up their céOurage as best they can. They pretend to believe that it is ‘Noonan ——— oe against the field,”’ but admit that Harrison | of the | is may forge ahead before the day primaries. a | The Harrison boom, I must admit, has | rendered by the combine 60 per cent cheaper. frightened all the other candidates,’’ re- marked an old politician. “That was a bad blow for the Noonan forces when David Caruth, who had been openly announced as a member of the Noonan Executive Com- mittee, refused to serve’ and is now one of the leaders on the Harrison committee. That incident is one of many which shows that men on whom Noonan had calculated for support are pronounced Harrison men.” Capt. Joe Brown is backed by a number of old-time politicians who were active in days gone by, and they flock around his headquarters in the Laclede Hotel and give ‘freight, except when specially classified, is ‘pany will bring the same car : 3 river for 8-10 of a cent on a Te ‘four cl ha the appearance of an Old Settlers’ meet- ng. The Brown. boomers are conducting a clean campaign. They are throwing no mud at anybody. One rather amusing feature of their work Wednesday was their almost universal sur- rise at the brazen audacity of Mr. Harrisen n coming out for Mayor without first ob- taining the permission of Mr. Brown and his coterie of shouters. “Why, Mr. Harrison came out for Mayor without saying a word to us about it!” re-. marked one venerable boomer for Brown. “Mr. Brown was in the field first. He and Mr. Harrison have been lifelong friends. Now, Mr. Harrison should have told Mr. ! Brown of his intention torun. But I know | who is responsible for it—it is that blunder. | ing City Committee.” nd the aged boomer for Brown gave a| sigh of regret and said somethin about the days when he was ‘“‘some pumpkins” in pol- itics a quarter of a century ago. i Lee Meriwether, ung, active and alert, | has a stream of callers running in and out | of his offices in the Wainwright bu'lding | every day. He has no idea of withdraw- | ing from the race; neither has he any in- | tention of changing his policy of demanding fair assessments upon street car companies | and other corporations, and the full pay- ment of their just taxes. MR. HARRISON’S PLATFORM. Fairness, Impartiality, Economy, Fi- delity and Reform. Many Democrats have been speculating on the policy to be outlined by Edwin Harri- son in his race for the Democratic nomina- tion for Mayor. When a Post-Dispatch man called on Mr. Harrison to obtain his policy on municipal questions, his reply was brief and to the point, with no equivocation. “My platform is this,”’ said Mr. Harrison: A square deal as between the city and all those with whom it has munici- pal relations. é Equitable assessments. Impartial and close collection of the revenues. Encouragement of all legitimate en- terprises. ‘pounds to transfer a carload | the river. _be seen when it is stated that nearly all the JUDGE THOMPSON REPLIES. Affidavits Filed Answering John Glov- er’s Motion for His Withdrawal. John M. Glover filed a motion in the case of the American Surety Co. vs. Glover last Saturday, asking that Judge W. B. Thomp- son be stricken from the docket as attorney for the plaintiffs on the ground that in pre- vious cases Judge Thompson had been at- torney for Glover and was in consequence in possession of information and knowledge he could not otherwise have obtained. In opposition to Mr. Glover’s motion a number of affidavits were filed with Judge Klein Wednesday. Judge Thompson deposed that he had been attorney for the American ‘Surety Co. for many years and was only |'connected with the Glover case for a brief period, when he withdrew from it. He says he has no information or knowledge which would give him any unfair advantage in the premises, E. S. Robert, James A. Carr and John A. Gilliam also file affidavits in support of Judge Thompson’s statements. ALTON BRIDGE NEW SCHEDULE. 60 PER CENT REDUCTION WILL KILL THE BRIDGE ARBITRARY. IS. ALREADY ~~ EFFECTIVE. The Sweeping Cut Will Compel Re- prisals or Force the Roads to the Bridge Upstream. - ; The Alton Bridge Company's new rate, which is intended as a death blow to the bridge arbitrary. went into effect Thursday morning. | The first mail from Alton brought a big batch of copies of the new schedule. Officials of the Chicago &« Alton, the Bur- lington and the M., K. & T. were provided with copies, and the immense reduction in rates was discussed in railway circles to the exclusion of other topics.

SPITZ DOG DISRUPTS A FAMILY. His Wife Tells an Awful Tale of At- tempted Murder, Which He Bluntly Says Is False. A frolickSome spitz dog was the ind‘rect cause of Thomas McDonnell’s attempt to murder his family Wednesday night. McDonnell and his wife and two children live at 1441 Goodfellow avenue. He is short of stature, and h's somewhat florid face is covered with a blond beard. His eye is not unkind, but takes an ugly gleam when men- tion is made of his wife. He claims no reg- ular vocation, but of late years has tried shop-keeping, with indifferent success. At present he is looking for employment. Wednesday evening the little family were gathered in the sitting-room, the father and mother reading and the two boys, aged 8 and 10, respectively, were playing on the floor with the dog. One of the lads suddenly gave a cry of ain and rushed to his mother, holding his eg. Between his sobs he said the dog had bitten him. The father was very much ex- ercised, and wanted to kill the animal then and there. Mrs. McDonnell assured him the child’s injury was but a scratch and it was foolish to grow excited over it. The two boys begged for the dog’s life. McDonnell thought the animal was getting too large for a safe pet and put him out of the house, Later when the children had retired he slipped into the yard and dispatched the pup with an ax. On his return he announced what he had done and claims his wife bitterly upraided him and threatened to have him arrested. She dentes having any controversy with him at all and says she went on quietly with her preparations for closing the house for the night. McDonnell, she says, kept mut- tering to himself about managing his own family. He thought he knew what was harmfal for the children and proposed to act according to his judgment. He was glad he killed the dog. The response elicited from the wife by these observances on home rule were of such a nature to deeply stir his anger. Ac- cording to her story, he angrily exclaimed if she didn’t like what he said he would use the ax on her. He ran to the closet and, procuring the weapon, gave it a few vicious swings as he approached. She screamed and ran to her |'children’s bedside. The little ones were |; awakened bv the commotion and clung to _ their mother’s neck McDonnell gazed on the scene a moment, then made another move with the ax. The ' woman had regained her nerve and freeing | herself from the children faced him and ' dared him to strike, | This open defiance had fits effect. Mc- | Donnell paused, letting the ax fall to the floor. He stared at her in amazement. Tak- i advantage of his surprise Mrs. McDon- ‘nell grasped her children by the hand and _fled to a neighbor’s house. | Thursday morning McDonnell flatly de- | nied any attempt to assault his wife and asked Judge Stevenson for a continuance to bring {n some witnesses. Mrs. McDonnell was in court with the two boys ready to prosecute hifm. She refused to tell anything about the attempt on her life until she went on the witness stand. She did say had it not been for her nerve she and the lads would have been murdered and that she had instituted proceedings fora divorce. Her husband did not drink and she thinks he is going crazy. McDonnell told the reporter he was a victim of merciless persecution. He had given Ms wife $10,000 worth of city prop- erty, and since the transfer had been made she was anxious to gett rid of him. ‘“T iove my children better than my life,” he repeated, “‘‘and would rather die than hurt them. I never drink, and no sane man would attempt the crime my wife alleges. ‘‘T have been divorced from her once and will be again. We don’t seem to suit each other. I wouldn’t have married her the sec- ond time, but she came to my house and cried about a away from mse, and said the children needed me, so/I took her back. This is what I get for it: “T admit killing the dog, and that is what started the trouble last night. The heast was getting too vicious for the boys. When IT returned to the house I locked the ax in the closet and never tovched it again. It was there when the officer arreste1 me.” McDonnell claims his 2i-ycar-oll step-son is urging his wife against him. He re- fused:to give his name. Sodid the young man, but he was not loath in backing up his mother’s statements as to McDonnell’s alleged cruelties. WERE MARRIED ON THE SLY. Arthur Godair and Mrs. Lamie Jak- iesch Surprised East Side Society. Arthur Godair, the wealthy young live stock dealer who has created such a com- motion in East St. Louis society by his re- cent marriage to Mrs. Lamie Jakiesch, was seen in the Court-house on this side of the grain that reaches St. Louis comes ove Alton bridge.

When asked to tell the story of his wedding Mr. Godair, though in excellent humor, absolutely declined to say just when or where the wedding took place or give any details of the affair. He said it was “about three weeks ago, but would not be more exact. Inasmuch as the Planters’ Hotel register shows that “Arthur Godair and wife’? came there on Feb. 3, it is likely that the marriage oc- curred that day. Mr. Godair’s marriage to Mrs. Jakiesch was a surprise to his society friends, because it was generally supposed that he was to wed Miss Stella Baugh, a belle of East St. Louis, Their engagement had never been announced, but they had been together a great deal for several years and seemed to have a marked preference for each other's society. Mrs. Godair was the step-daughter of Postmaster M. M. Stephens of East St. Louis, and widow of Henry Jakiesch, who died about four years ago. She is a hand- some woman, who had many admirers. Woen William Berkley. cashier of the Eliot Frog Works, committed suicide last spring, it was currently reported that it was caused by un- requited love for the charming widow. Grew Out of the Strike. The $1,500 damage suit of William H. Godair and James R. Hamilton against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rail- road Co. went to trfal Thursday in Judge Talty’s division of the Circuit Court. It is for alleged loss sustained by reason of a delay in the shipment of cattle, consequent upon the Debs strike of 18M. The cattle were placed in the yards at Little Rock, Ark., June 30, 1894, for shipment to the Na- tional Stock Yards, East St. Louis. The strike compelled the railré6ad company to hold them until July, 10, 18M. MRS. DONNELLY’S TRIBULATION Her Cellar Invaded by Negroes and the Police Won’t Dislodge Them.

SYLVESTER S. BROWN WANTS HIS VALISE AND JEWELS. SAD STORY OF HIS LOVE. —_—— The Man Who Shot Himself for Mae Haegle’s Sake Figures in a Civil Suit. _ Sylvester S. Brown, by his attorneys, Gadsden & Blow, filed an odd suit in Justice Haughton’s court against Capt. Mi- chael O’Malley of the Central Police Dis- trict. Brown is a totally blind and partially deaf inmate of the Missouri Institute for the Blind. He sues the police captain to recover possession of a valise which he contends contained diasnonds and jewelry. He either wants the property or its equiva- lent in cash. The property is valued at about $100. The valise came into Capt. O’Malley’s pos- session Dec. 3, 189, when Brown attempted Suicide in the Hotel Rogier. He shot him- self twice in the head. One bullet entered the right temple and passed through the left eye. The other ball entered the left temple and lodged in the right side of the throat. Capt. O’Malley saw Brown imme- diately after the shooting and was with him when he was removed to the Dispensary. The city physicians said that either wound Was mortal and that Brown had but a few toy to live. He was sent to the City Hos- ii. Capt. O’Malley went back to Brown’s room and took possession of his property, consisting of a valise and a sample case. These were removed to the Four Courts. Brown’s wounds did not prove fatal, and he sent for his property. ere the stories of Brown and the police disagree. Brown contends that he sent a messenger for his two pieces of baggage, and that Capt. O’ Malley refused to send but one. He says the sample case he received from the po- lice contained only his clothing, while the valise the police refused to deliver con- tained jewelry and diamonds. Mr. Blow, Brown’s ‘counsel, says he made formal demand for the valise at the police station, and that the sergeant in charge said it was probably lost. It had got m up with numerous other pacnages and could not be found. Mr. Blow later made demand on Capt. O’Malley in person, and he claims that official says he delivered the valise to the messenger who received the sample case. “It is peculiar, to say the least,” said Mr. Blow. ‘“‘The captain was particular to get a receipt from the messenger for the pack- age that was comparatively valueless, but the valise that contained the jewelry and was known to be of value, he claims to have given without exacting a receipt.’’ Capt. O’Malley was surprised when the reporter told him of the suit. “When Brown shot himself we took pos- session of his property, as we were told he could not possibly recover. Later we heard from the hospital and learned that ne was recovering. W. V. Fayman, a clerk from the City Hospital, came to my office and wanted Brown’s valise. He said the sample case contained the valuables. I let him take the valise, and did not take his receipt for it. Later, on April 21, 1896, Fayman again called. This time he had an order from Brown for the sample case, and I gave it to him. I took his receipt icrit. Yayman, I believe, is now in California. And that’s all there is about it.” Brown’s misfortunes are the result of blind and unreasoning “love for a heartless song and dance artist, Mae Haegle, who lives in this city with her parents. In the summer of 1895 Brown met her in Kansas City. She was playing in a vaudeville the- ater there. He was a traveling salesman for a New York jewelry house. They stopped at the same hotel. They became acquainted and he fell desperately in love. She encouraged him, and he lavished hand- some presents upon her, From Kansas City she went to Pittsburg. Brown neglected his business and accom- panied her. He besought her to give up the stage and become his wife. She demurred and said she had to support her family in St. Louis. Brown said if she would marry him he would see that ny | had all that money could buy. After keeping him dancing attendance for several months she agreed, while they were in Chicago, to the marriage. He insisted on buying her trousseau. She did not object. The more he spent on her the more she was grati- fied. Trunk load after trunk load of the handsomest and most costly garments he bought for her. Jewels he lavished on her without stint. Then they came to St. Louis shortly be- fore Thanksgiving of 18%. Brown and the Haegle girl made tours of the down-town stores. They bought furniture, carpets, rugs, chinaware, bric-a-brac, etc., with lavish hand. It was ordered sent to 4161 Olive street, for which Brown had aid a month's rent. His money ad been exhausted and he expected to pay for the goods with a remittance he was expecting from his employers. The check d'd not arrive and the tradesmen sent their wagons and began removing the ; ' oods. “ Brown didn’t know what to do. He loved the girl, but dared not go to see her unless he could pay for the goods he had ordered The night before Thanksgiving «he passed in front of the house several times, ge | to gain sufficient courage to enter and te the girl he had been disappointed because of the non-arrival of his money. The Heagle girl saw him, and sent for a oliceman and had him locked up. She sald 7 was crazy and she feared he had evil in- tentions on her life. All day Thanksgiving he lay in a cell. The only crime he had committed was that of coving one who was incapable of returning or appreciating it. When he was released from custody he returned to his apartments at Hotel Rozier and found a letter from his employers. They not only refused to furnish him money, but told him that because of his neglect of business he was ennreee. Then in a fit of desperation he sought to » his life. taxes City Hospital saved The su ns at the his life.

The market was fairly active at the opening and the feeling was firmer on account of the number of crop-dam rts received, but later, how- ever, on rece colpt @ of some war news in regard to Ouba, the market became very nervous and the fluctuations were frequent. Receipts in the Northwest were light and local receipts were moderate. Cables were lower and the Chicago market was weak, but local traders were generally bullish at the start and quite an advance was scored before call. Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth to-day were only 198 cars, as compared with 465 cars for the corresponding date a year ago. ——— receipts at St. Louls were 10,400 bu, as ared with .14,577 bu a year ago.

In summer the stench is so strong that the windows have to be kevt closed. Even during the winter it is said that from three to five of the teachers are ill nearly every week as a result of the unsanitary conditions. Both Nineteenth street and Maiden Lane are unimproved. Children from the north- west and southwest must wade two blocks through mud and mire to school. All the rooms are overcrowded. The space for the kindefgarten was uced a few weeks ago to make room for another class. At intervals batches of scholars are transferred to other schools and have pay car fare or walk long distances. The building is one of the five oldest in the city and is devoid of all modern con- veniences. At the ee the principal — was made Ry W. Becker. Prof. T.

SO SAYS KRIGBAUM, THE PRO- | SPECTIVE BRIDEGROOM. /'HE’S MAD AND MAY GO TO LAW. His Deaf Mute Sweetheart, Woed Un- der Difficulties, Disappoints Him . at the Last Moment. Convinced of her lover’s duplicity and broken hearted in consequence, Miss Emma Ehlers of 4128 Easton avenue Wednesday heeded her mother’s pleadings and deserted Henry Krigbaum of 609 North Twelfth street on what was to be their wedding eve. She left a note saying she had returned to her home, and forbidding him ever to seek her presence. She had trusted him and he had deceived her. Fiction never narrated a wooing more filled with adversity than has been that of this young couple, both deaf mutes. Fate, church and mother have been against them from the beginning. When Mrs. Ehlers observed the serious- nes of Krigbaum’s attentions\to Miss Emma three years ago she frankly told the young man her daughter was too young to marry. It was mutually decided that the consideration of matrimony should be de- ferred. A few Weeks ago Emma became of age, but her mother withheld consent be- cause the young man was a Protestant and her daughter had been reared a devout Catholic. The young people deemed this objection in- sufficient and procured a marriage license, the wedding day being set for Feb. 24. Miss Ehlers did not return home, but decided to make her wedding arrangements at the home of Mrs. Edward Sutter, 1713 Franklin ave- nue, Mrs. Ehlers learned of her daughter's action, and refused to give up her trunk and Sree arnt Later she relented and Krigbaum triumphantly carted away his future wife’s belongings. rs. Ehlers announced she had discarded her daughter entirely. Maternal love was dead, Assisted by the Sutter family Emma bus- ied herself with the preparations for the im- portant event, while Krigbaum industriously worked as saddlemaker at the establish- ment of Meyer, Bannerman & Co. While the two lovers were dreaming of their happy fut- ure Mrs. Ehlers was making her last effort to thwart the union. She called upon Fr. Walsh of St. Bridget’s = and begged him to come to her aid. e listened to her story and promised to in- vestigate the matter. An opportunity soon came. While Emma was willing to marry a Protestant she insisted a minister of her faith should perform the ceremony. Natur- allv she chose her own parish priest. The evening after the girl’s interview with Fr. Walsh she startled her lover by telling him the marriage could not take place until after Easter. She said the priest was too busy with other duties to perform the ceremony before Lent. Krig- baum pleaded with her to select some other clergyman or engage a Protestant minis- ter with such persistent fervor she practi- cally consented. When he called Tuesday evening to make final arrangements for the nuptials, a marked change was noticed in the young woman’s demeanor. She evaded all references to the wedding and seemed anxious he should go. Finally she admit- ted she did not want to be married until April. Henry managed to overcome this and when he left it was understood the ceremony was to come off on the original date. As soon as released from work Wednes- day he went to the Sutter home to see if everything was in readiness. When he en- tered Mrs. Sutter handed him a note. It was from Emma. She said it would be impossible to marry him and she would re- turn the license to the Recorder,and the engagement ring to him. She was going home to her mother, and never wished to see him again. She thought her lover was an honest man and found him a base de- ceiver The reporter found Krigbaum poses the room like a madman when he called by in- vitation to witness the ceremony. In an- swer to the written query as to why there was no wedd'ng he grabbed a block of paper and wrote furiously. This is what he wrote: “Mrs. Sutter says she has given me up and here is her letter. I cannot leave her. I must have her for my wife. She says I am a deceiver. Jealous girls told her that. They said I had a wife and three children living. They lie. I am a truthful man and I never was married. Her ma and the priest helped to bring this trouble on me, [ am going to sue for damages if I don’t marry her. But I will marry her yet in spite of all of them. Next April she shall be my wife. I won't go to her home, but I am go'‘ng to have her. I will see the priest next Sunday and tell him so’”’ According to what Mrs. Sutter told him, Mrs. Ehlers had a lengthy interview with her daughter Wednesday morning. As a re- sult she returned in the afternoon with a horse and wagon and Emma’s effects were started back to her Easton avenue home. After giving Mrs. tter the note for Hen- ry, the young lady departed with her mother. Fr. Walsh would not discuss the matter other than to say he was not going to marry ~ +o Pag he did not think any other priest would. LEANED AGAINST A SHOTGUN. John Vogel Was Despondent and Blew Out His Heart. John Vogel, an old gardener suffering with rheumatism, ended his life at his home, 6175 Barthold avenue, Wednesday evening, by shooting himself in the breast with a shot-gun. He tied a pie to the triggers, assed it back of the guard and then pulled. oth barrels were discharged. Vogel was 65 ye of age and had been very despondent of late. Burned by an Accident.

Dr. Philip Scholz of Fourteenth and Salis- bury streets is likely to find serious trouble if he continues to defy the Coroner. Coroner Wait was compelled to postpone the inquest on the body of Mrs. Julia Klunk, who died on Tuesday of peritonitis*following an op- eration, because Dr. Scholz stubbornly re- fused to appear at the inquest. Mrs, Klunk was a married woman, and lived at 3617 North anager ig b Dr. Henry M. Bewig of Broadway and Salisbury was called in to attend her only ten hours be- fore her death. As he discovered evidences of a criminal operation he issued a burial certificate which led to an investigation by the Health Department. ; The evidence at the inquest partially held Thursday, revealed that Mrs. Klunk had been using drugs to relieve her condition. Mrs. Peterson, a midwife at 3318 Blair ave- nue, had prescribed for her. Mrs. Klunk’s husband and sisters testified that Dr. Scholz had been treating her for a long time for egg er They though: that was in reality her ailment. She did not improve and they called in another physician. Coroner Wait summoned Dr. Scholz to pear. The latter sent back word that he would not appear, nor would he testify. The Coroner then sent a policeman after the recalcitrant physician, but the police- man was unable to locate him. Coroner Wait adjourned the inquest until Friday morning, and declares that he will have the physician in attendance if it takes all the policemen in the town. Coroner Wait is anxious to learn whether Dr. Scholz diagnosed the case as pneumonia and treated the patient for that or whether he knew her real condition. The post-mor- tem showed that death was superinduced by a criminal operation. The inquest will probably determine who wag responsible for the operation. MONEY FOR AN EX-CONVICT.
