(FROM A SKETCH IN THE LONDON GRAPHIC) During the struggle by the Turks. to gain. possession of the Milouna Pass they were compelled to assault two blockhouses occupied by Greek forces. These blockhouses are spread all over the Mace- donian frontier and are really solidly built stone forts, parapeted and pierced for artillery and musketry. -The above sketch gives a good idea of how the fighting in Milouna Pass had to be carried on, CON OF A BANK PRESIDENT —_—-—- liTr—SO- 2 (C—O ERNEST BIEBINGER SPENT THE NIGHT IN A CELL. LOCKED UP WITH NEGROES. Patrolman Dunn Arrested Him for Re- fusing to Get Off the Sidewalk in Front of the Planters’, ee Ernest Biebinger, son of Frederick W. Bie- binger, president of the Fourth National Bank, was arrested at 1 a. m. Thursday in front of the Planters’ Hotel by Patrolman Dunn because he declined to vacate the side- walk. Dunn owns that sidewalk at thAt hour, as everyone knows who has had occasion to pass there or to stop and chat with an ac- quaintance. Mr. Biebinger occupied a cell at Chestnut Street Police Station until 3 a. m., when he was loaded into the police van with a lot of negroes and common drunks and transferred to the Central Police Station, where he again occupied a cell, until 7:30 a. m., when Attorney Bush furnished bond for his release. Mr. Biebinger, who is 32 years old and lives at 1802 Hickory street, was at the Planters’ Hotel until 1 a. m. with some acquaintances. At that hour he left to go home. On the sidewalk in front of the ‘hotel was a party of well-dreased men, who were atiempting to convince a drunken man that it was time to retire. Biebinger stopped to watch the argument, when Patrolman Dunn came up. He insisted on arresting the inebriate, although his friends promised to take care of him. Mr. Riebinger approached the officer, told him who he is, and said he would be re- sponsible for the drunken man. That angered Dunn, and after abusing him, the policeman ordered him away from the scene. Biebinger refused to go. He said he was doing no harm, and promised the officer he would remain there as long as he pleased, so long as he behaved himself. “I'll show you whether you can or not,” roared the policeman, “I'll lock you up in- stead of this man; come with me, you —— —— ———* and he jeri:ed Mr. Biebinger by the collar to the edge of the sidewalk. He marched him through the middle of the streets to the Police Station, where he caused him to be locked up under the charge of “refusing to vacate.” On the way to the station Dunn insisted Snce op gery oot Apel aeataetide! | not attempt to escape and that he would gladly go to the station with him, but Dunn evidently thought he had a‘ train robber and when Biebinger was released on bond, nearly seven hours later, he exhibited the marks of the officer’s iron grasp. Biebinger asked that his father be tel- ephoned for, so that he might procure bond and be released, but no one weuld even call a messenger for him. So he occupied a cell with three drunken negro roustabouts. His fine clothes, his diamonds and his general demeanor indicated to the officers no differ- ence between him and the common herd. In the Police Court the charge against Biebinger was continued for two days. Mr. Biebinger says that he will not allow the case to be nolle prossed; that he will in- sist on a trial, and that he and his friends will see what can be done to punish the po- lice officers. PERRINE GRANT Minority Report of the Senate Commit- tee on Public Lands Very Se- vere on Francis. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota presented this afternoon the report of the minority of the Committee on Public Lands in the. Perrine case. It is a stinging arraignment of ex- Secretary of the Interior David R. Francis, who ordered the patents issued, and bears down heavily upon Isaac H. Lionberger, who, as Assistant Attorney-Gerenal of the Interior, had declared that the grant had been complied with. Senator Pettigrew Bays: “After careful consideration of all the ev!i- dence presented, the minority of the com- mittee are of the opinion that the facts in the case do not bear out the conclusions of the majority, but that on the contrary hv compliance of the Perrine heirs with the provisions of the grant has been made. by fraudulent pretended compliance patents have been secured to nearly 23,000 acres of the public domain, in fraud of the rights of the people of the United States and without any censideration whatever.” The report is not signed, but it is un- derstood that it is indorsed by_ Senators Pettigrew, Tillman and Berry. The report reviews at length the testimony which was taken by the Benate Committee on Public Lands; goes into the examination of wit- nesses and cites sworn affidavits to show that the terms of the grant were not car- ried out by the Perrines,, but that the East Coast Florida Rallway | Company made a filmsy case, upon which evidence the then Secretary of the Interior ordered the patents issued. ere represented at The Perrine heirs Perrine, father-in-law the hearing by Dr, to Grover Freveland, then President of the United States.

MYSTERIOUS “LITTLE Prominent St. Louis Girl Believed to Be Mixed Up With a Noto- rious Criminal. Pe. Chief Desmond and all of his detectives are looking for a mysterious little lady whose first name begins with “‘F’’ and who is the daughter of wealthy and respectable residents of this city. If the officers find her they. will come very near locating J. A. Thomas, alias Thurston, the noted for- ger who escaped from the Memphis (Tenn.) jail about a week ago. The local police received the description of Thomas from Memphis several days ago and also some information about the mys- terious young lady who, it is believed, blindly loves a crimjnal. Thomas arrived in. Memphis two weeks ago on a Mississippi steamboat. Qn the way up the river he became acquainted with a St. Louls family on the boat, en route to their home. The family consisted of father, mother and daughter. Thomas succeeded in winning the affec- tions of the daughter, who it afterward de- veloped spelled her first name beginning with an “F.” Thomas was then going under the Bame of Thurston and represented him- self to the St. Louis family as a cotton planter of Mississippi. When Thomas left held the heart of the girl. Thomas regis- tered at the Arlington Hotel under name of J. A. Thurston. In a few days he forged a check for $318 and was arrested. He was identified as J. A. Thomas, who is wanted in nearly “a every large city in the country for many | forgeries. He has served terms in the Jeffersonville, Frankfort penitentiaries, Thomas had been in jail only a day, when a letter, addressed to Thurston, at the ho- tell was delivered to him in fail. This letter was signed “Little F.,” and came from St. Louis. After expressing her un- dying affection she made an appointment to meet him at 6 a. m. Tuesday, April 2, at Vandeventer Avenue Station. Then she says that if he can not meet her at that time to advertise In the person- al column of the Post-Dispatch, address- ing her as “Little F..” or he can send her ea eer of piano music and on one of the nside pages write between the bars when and where he will meet her. One night, a week ago, Thomas was locked securely in his cell. The next morn- ing he was gone. How he got out is a mystery that has not yet been solved. The turhkey advances the theory that the devil came and got him.

It is thought, however, that Thomas will find his way to St. Louis before long. In the meantime the police are trying to find the girl, as it is believed that she has no knowledge of her lover's criminal char- acter. Thomas.is known as one of the best forgers in the country. In Chicago, last fall, he forged the signature of a bank cashier to a blank draft, and on it secured from the Union National Bank $600. For that and two smaller forgeries he is wanted in the Windy City. He is wanted in Cincinnati for forging the name of A. L. Tucker, a whole- sale wine merchant, to a check for $177. Besides Chicago and Cincinnati Thomas is wanted in Lexington, Buffalo, Syracuse and several other cities. FRUIT CROP DAMAGED. The Recent Frosts Have Been Highly Disastrous, CHICAGO, April 22.—Dispatches report damage amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars to early fruits by frost. The greatest damage is in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina. In lower Virginia and Eastern North Carolina it is estimated at $1,000,000, including the loss to vegetables. Ice formed in several places and the damage will be much greater if warmer weather does not come, In the Maryland and Delaware Penin- sulas nine buds out of ten have perished. The peach crop there is reported practically killed and other fruits shared the same fate. “FELL DEAD IN COURT. Ciscado’s Vehement Invocation lowed Quickly by Collapse. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Very severe fighting occurred westward of this place during the morning, HEADQUARTERS OF THE TURKISH ARMY, MILOUNA PASS, April 22.-Very — heavy fighting has been 1n progress. The Greeks have endeavored to take by storm the Turkish position on the hill opposite the entrance of the ravine, The Greeks each occasion with whelming and correspondent from London.

With Thessaly lost, the stand can only be made at Thebes, but nobody believes that Europe will allow the not advance beyond Larissa until he has dealt with the large Greek force which is still fighting with much success at Revent and Bougatzi, near that place, and which would seriously threaten his flank and rear.

All Europe now regards the Turkish army as virtually an instrument in the hands of the powers to punish Greece for daring to interpose opposition to their almighty will. Nobody seems to consider the pos- sibility that the instrument may get be- yond control. The Greeks are to be sound- ly thrashed. Then everything will be all right, according to cold-blooded diplomacy. The correspondent of the Temps at Con- stantinople telegraphs that Edhem Pasha has wired his goverment that he expects 10 become the master of Larissa within three days. Water advices at Athens re- garding the fighting at Damasi show that the battle was drawn, with each army in possession of its post. Although the reports of the capture by the Turks of Turnova and the investment of Larissa have not been disproved, and they appear to be faits accomplis, it is well to point out that they emanate from Turkish sources and are denied by the Greeks. It is certain that severe fichting is pro- ceeding at Reveni, where the Turks have been largely reinforced. The rumored capture of Vigla has not been confirmed, but the attack is being vig- orously pressed by the Greek artillery. The capture of the place will probably be ef- fected. GREEKS TAKE PLATAMONO. The Naval Attack on the Turkish Town Was Successful. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 22.—A dispatch to the Sun from Athens says that the naval attack on the Turkish town of Platamono has been successful. A force was landed from the Greek warships after the Turks evacuated the fort commanding the town, They found that the Moslems had left behind them a considerable quantity of munitions of war. These the Greeks de- etroyed. From present indications it appears to be the intention of the commander of the fieet to attack all of the coast towns of importance northwerd uptil Salonica is reached. Critics declare that the first at- tack should have been made upon Salon- ica, the capture of which would have meant the cutting off of the supplies of the Turkish army. It is reported.in Athens that despite the reports that the attack by the Greek war- om s upon Preveza, at the entrance of the Gulf of Arta, had been abandoned, heavy bombardment of that place is still going on. The Atheniane are disgusted at the delay of the Greek warships in capturing Pre- veza and the bungling manner in which Capt. Criesis has conducted the bombard- ment. He awaited the King’s direct orders all Sunday before opening fire upon Pre- Vera, and since then has been greatly ham- pered by rough seas. Details have reached here of the flercely contested artillery duel which took place at Arta on Monday. The battle was be- tween the Greek hill batteries behind Arta and the Turkish batteries across the river, in which three of the four Turkish batteries were silenced quickly, and after six hours’ fighting the fourth battery, consisting of six guns under command of a German of- ficer, was compelled to cease firing. The Greek batteries aggregated fifteen guns. The Turks retreated at sunset, and 40,000 Greek infantry, with a squadron of cavalry and a battery of field artillery, crossed the river early on Tuesday morning and were within the Turkish border. Near the mouth of the river on the Turk- ish side the Turks were overtaken and a sharp battle ensued, in which the losses on both sides were very heavy. The Greeks scored a slight advantage in the fight, but the result was by no means decisive, The shelis from the Turkish batteries wrecked the homes of hundreds of Greeks living in the poorer quarters of Arta, and some of the homeless have taken refuge in the churches, while others are sleeping in the open air. COMMITTED SUICIDE. Greek Major, Ansolinas, Kills Himself at Turnova.. LONDON, April 22.—Maj. Ansolinas, who gave the order for the abandonment at Gritzovali by the Greek troops and who was replaced by Col. Papastavro for so doing, being held responsible for the loss of that place, has, according to a special dispatch from Athens, committed suicide at Turnova. GREEKS MASSACRED. Citizens Said to Have Been Slain by the Turks Near Prevesa. LONDON, April 22.—According to a @pecial dispatch from Athens, massacres of Greek citizens hate occurred near Prevesa, the Turkish town at the entrance of the Guif of Arta. The Greek troops, it is said, have stormed five villages occupied by the urka. A special dispatch from Marseilles says that Hy) Greek volunteers sailed for Athens esterday evening, accompanied by sixty Ximerican Greeks. The crews of the Greek erchantmen everywhere have been or- ered home to join their respective regi- ments. A special telegram from Bucharest, Rou- mania, says the Roumanian Minister for war has ordered the garrisons on the Do- brudscha frontier to be reinforced by two battalions of troops. The King of Roumania | postponed his a trip. h reek ation here has received a , . Bkouzes, the Minister for airs of Greece, in which, refer- ne 3 order for the expulsion of Greeks rkey at the expiration of a fort- sh from turday last, the date of the ure of diplomatic relations between Taleste and Turkey, he says their expulsion fe contrary to the principles of modern ciyili- zation. fe adds that Greece desires all Turkish subjects residing within Greek ter- ory to remain as long as their conduct oes not afford ground for complaint. IZZET BEY’S DISGRACE. The Arrest of the Sultan’s Favorite Adviser Is Reported.

Third District Congressman and the Late Speaker of the House Al- ready in the Field. Of the several hundred Missourians in Gt. Louls on account of the Masonic con- clave, two of the most prominent are Con- gressman Alexander Monroe Dockery, representing the Third District, and Hon. J. W. Farris, Speaker of the House of Representatives during the Thirty-ninth General Asgembly. Both of these men will probably be can- didates for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1900. Messrs. Dockery and Farris are at the same hotel—the Laclede, which for many years has been a sort of Democratic heddquarters. For twenty years the two prospective candidates for Governor have been warm personal friends. It is a coincidence that a large number of he visiting Masons are even more. prom- eae as Democratic politicians than they are in lodge work. Masonry, of course, has nothing to do with politics, but it hap- ens that the Democratic party is espe- cially well represented in the Masonic lodges of Missouri. Congressman Dockery is a Past Grand High Priest of the order, and Speaker ose, has a since mounted he mythical goats, me Tomy vente there has been occasional mention made of Congressman Dockery in connection with the office of Governor. Heretofore he has never exhibited a dispo- sition to make the race, but it is believed that he is now seriously considering the proposition. Sixteen years ago Congress- man Dockery was first elected to Congress. ‘Then he was known only as “Dr. Dock- ery.” Prior to his election to Congress Dr. Dockery’s office holding was limited to a erm as County Physician of Livingstone ounty, and probably one or two municipal offices, such as Mayor of Gallatin, the lace where he now resides. However, Dr. kery had been active in Democratic politics and had done much good work for the party. He retired from the practice of medicine and entered the banking business in Gallatin a few years before he was elected to Congress. As a campaigner, there are few men in the State of Mis- ourl who can excel Congressman Dockery. e has been continuously in Congress ever since he was first elected, and, with the exception of one or two off years, his ma- jority has steadily grown larger, notwith- etanding that on several occasions he has made the race against highly influential men. A Post-Dispatch reporter talked with the Third District Congressman Wednesday about matters political. When asked about the probability of his candidacy for the office of Governor, Dr. Dockery said: “Many of my friends have mentioned the subject to me, It is too early yet to make a decision one way or the other, so I have taken no positive action.

In A ene? assignments he has been prominent sifice he commenced his career, and in many ways he has ren- dered service of Which the entire State of Missouri should be proud. Congressman Dockery is of ae personal ap- earance, and has the ability to make a orcible speech. Probably the most promi- nent feature of his work in Congress has been in connection with tariff bills and matters pertaining to the public revenue. He is quiet and unassuming in manner. Congressman Dockery and Speaker Far- ris are both dyed-in-the-woo] Democrats, although there is some difference between them relative to the money question.

He was a Bland man from start to finish, until Mr. Bryan was nominated. That set- tled it, and from that moment forward he was as enthusiastic for Bryan as he had n for Bland. The strong attachment existing between Messrs. Bland and Far- ris is due to two reasons, viz.: First, the lands and the Farrises have been neigh- ors down in Laclede County for many years, and their relations have always been most cordial. Second, Speaker Farris would have favored Bland had he been a resi- gent of the furthermost corner of the Un- on, for the reason that he looks upon Bland as the pioneer exponent of the great silver Sause, However, as Mr. Farris once said © a Post-Dispatch representative, it wag hi easy matter, and wholly pleasant for ~ to fall in line for Bryan, from the fact at he recognizes in the oung Nebras- a me most aggressive advocate of bi- i ism, and aside from that, there is a er sna attachment.

At the last session he distinguished himself by his able and fearless course as Speaker of the House. Some of the best work done by Mr. Farris was as a member of the State Central Committee. He was especially prominent in bringing about the memora- ble Pertle Springs convention, and no man in Missourl worked more zealously in advo- cacy of his principles. Speaker Farris declines to discuss the robability of his gn; 4 a candidate or Governor, but some of the most promi- nent Democrats in Southern Missour!l who are his close personal friends, declare with- out hesitancy that they are going to spring his name in most emphatic fashion when the proper time arrives. It is accepted as a certainty that Mr. Farris will make the race. Messrs. Dockery and Farris do not in- fringe upon each other tn a geographical sense.-Congressman Dockery is from Galla- tin, Daviess Co., the northwestern corner of the State; while Speaker Farris Is at home down at Lebanon, Laclede County, the most romantic and picturesque section of the Ozark Mountain region. There has also been some agitation among Missouri Democrats to start a Gubernatorial boom for Congressman Mont Cochran of St. Joseph. But it is known positively that Con- gressman Cochran does not aspire to be Governor of Missouri. He has frequently so stated on previous occasions when friends approached him on the subject. There is nothing more to the liking of the St. Joe editor than a seat in Congress, where, to use his own language, ‘‘there is opportu to knock the gold bugs fore and aft.”” With such men as Messrs. Dockery and Farris and the others that will fall into line as the campaign approaches, Missouri Democrats will experience no difficulty in selecting a good man for Governor. And, as hag been the rule in previous campaigns, a Demo- eratic nomination for a State office in Mis- souri will continue to be equivalent to elec- tion.

Hambrick, promoter of the Mis- souri Jockey Club, has given special atten- tion to the arrangement of a good pro- gramme. The best horses known to the turf will be here and the purses range from $150 to $250, giving an inaugural handicap. In connection with the races will be an old- fashioned Kentucky barbecue, with ‘“bur- goo.”’ The management has imported twenty fine spring lambs from Kentucky, and five of the best oxen to be found on the market will be served. The tables will be epread in the open field. There will be music and speaking by prominent orators. An effort is being made to secure the presence of Hon. William J. Bryan for a speech, but he has not yet been heard from on the subject. The management gives out assurance that the law will be fully com- plied with in every particular, and that the races will be clean. KNOCK-OUT BLOW FATAL, Matt Semichy’s Right-Hander Causes the Death of Frank Evans. SAN JOSE, Cal., April 22.—Frank Evans, lightweight pugilist, died this morning of concussion of the brain caused by a right- hand blow on the chin delivered by Matt Semichy, in the fourteenth round of a fight before the San Jose Athletic Club last night.

NEW ORLEANS, La., April 22.—At mid- night the city gauge showed 19.3 feet above low water and at the present rate of rise the early prediction of 20 feet will prob- ably be realized. The crest of the flood wave is now supposed to be below Vicks- burg, and if no more crevasses occur, will reach here in thr@e or four days. Even with the good weather the strain will be terrific, and a study of-the weather charts shows that rain is almost certain to come. Escape with a solid front below the pres- ent Louisiana breaks will be a miracle, The levee defenders are still fighting as fiercely as if the battle had not been on night and day for a month. Yesterday's fight was much fiercer than ever before. In St. Bernard, just below tha c‘ty, two levees were on the verge of tumbling. The whole section was aroused and every man re- sponded. They are still working and a crevasse has been avoided by building practically new levees, At Pike’s Peak Levee, in St. James, across the river, the parish was not only aroused, but the Texas & Pacific carried up a lot of men and material, and by twenty- four hours’ work avoided a catastrophe, for forty feet of the levee had sloughed off. A crevasse there would have done twice as much damage as the Mississippi breaks. On Bonnet Garre, on this side of the river, an army has been at work a week. A crevasse there would remove all possible danger to New Orleans. The citizens have largely augmented the levee board’s forces in New Orleans and a thousand men are at work. There will be a conference between citizens and officials and it is proposed to guarantee enough money to raise the —e. cordon of banks around the city. Mayor Flower has ordered not to spare houses and streets in securing earth or room wherever extra work is needed to insure safety. So far only one house has been torn down, but the work has just begun. Relief Work by Government Boats. The crews of the Government boats Alert and Golden Gate left St. Louls Thursday for Ewing’s Landing, on the Missouri River, where the steamers are tied up. They have orders to proceed at once to Vicks- burg, Miss., and report to Lieut. Crowley for general work of relief in the flooded districts. It is expected ‘the boats will ar- rive at Vicksburg next Tuesday. “BURGOO” AND STUMP SPEAKING Both on the Card for the Opening Races at Sportsman’s Park.

Godfrey Hunter formally withdrew from the Senatorial race. He left in the evening for Washington, where he will push his contest against John 8S. Rhea for a seat in Congress from the Third Ken- tucky district. Dr. Hunter’s resignation was accepted and the caucus adjourned to Thursday night. The fight will now be between Judge W. H. Holt, backed by Gov. Bradley, and State Senator W. J. Deboe, candidate of the Huh ter faction. It is said that Deboe could have been nominated last night, but his friends thought it advisable to wait. The Hunter and anti-Hunter people still seem almost exactly evenly divided be- tween Holt and Deboe, a Consreemen [ lle arrive - Evans of Louisville ae Cua: frenke up to the Senate through there. ; It “ now certain that to-night s race will be between Holt, Deboe and Evans and it Is reported that the five ‘‘bolting’ Republicans intend to dictate the nomination, by wait- ing till some one candidate, even if it be Debos, Hunter's preference, is within five votes of an election and then going to him.

FIGHTING LASTED TEN DAYS. Smail-Pox Breaks Out in the Cell Oc- cupied by the Competitor Prisoners. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 22.—The Sun has the following cable from Havana: From Puerto Principe comes news of se- vere fighting, which lasted ten days, be-’ tween the Spanish columns of Rizo and Cruz Gonzales and several bands of in- surgents, numbering about 2,00 men, At first the Spanish were victorious, but the Cubans rallied and gave desperate and harassing battle day and night. The Span- lards were then very tired, and they had lost 300 men. Until the evening of April 7 they fought bravely in Guayabo, but when their ammunition was exhausted, and they were harassed on all sides, they broke and fled to the estate of Los Bo- tones, where they met a fresh column commanded by Col. Cruz Gonzales. Of the column of Rizo, which numbered 1,500 men when it started from Puerto Principe, only 1,000 soldiers, panic-stricken and exhausted, entered Los Botones. The column of Col. Cruz Gonzales num- bered 2,000 men, including 500 cavalry. The Cubans continued the attack, and then the Spaniards took the road to Puerto Prin- cipe, Gonzales at the rear. protecting the troops of Col. Rizo. The march was slow and nearly every hour the Span- jards had to stop to defend themselves in hand-to-hand fights. At last a entered Puerto Principe on April 12, totally defeat- ed, after leaving 8 killed along their route. La Lucha in an editorial announces that McKinley has notified the Cuban Junta that the United States is disposed to brin about the indictment of its members i they continue their conspiracy against Spain. The paper also says that the Gov- ernment is inclined to punish American sympathizers with the insurgents. It further says that Senor Tomas Estrada Pal- ma, the head of the Junta, has had a con- ference with Secretary of State Sherman and protested against the action of the Gov- ernment. According to the paper, McKin- ley has formally decided upon a resolute policy to secure a speedy ending of the in- surrection. SMALL-POX BREAKS OUT.

Not long ago the Post-Dispatch re- ceived a communication asking if we be- lieve a bridge company could do business for nothing. Certainly not. But St. Louis should not, even now, be compelled to do business with one bridge company. There should be two companies, and there would be if the Merchants’ Bridge Company had served the purpose of its creation. The fact that that company was “absorbed” is of more vital concern to St. Louis than discussion as to wheth- er an arbitrary has been, or can be, or 7 f° stock. should be “absorbed,” Railroad companies cannot be expect- ed to bear all the loss of shipping into of St rates. one-half, East tolls or out at Lotis be eut St. Louis If bridge as they could could be and would be under competition, rail- roads would, under wipe out the other half. like competition, Bridges to serve every purpose of the Eads Bridge can now be built at one-fourth the cost of that structure.

Were Mr. Joy as Web. sterian in intellect and equipment as some of his constituents around Carr street imagine him to be he could have raised’ a following in Congress against the Dingley programme, which would have forced the powers In control of this Administration to ask “What's the mat- ter with Filley?’’ And then Mr. Joy could have seized his opportunity and re- sponded that Filley would be “all right” if given half a chance.

The suit of the Steinson Company against the Consolidated Wire Company @ branch of the Wire Nail Trust, brings to the surface a feature of Trust growth in its relation to patents, that proves the need of legislation to protect public The Wire Nail Trust has made a with W, W.

Laws should be passed placing patents on a similar footing with public fran- chises of all kinds. A public carrier is compelled to carry passengers and freight in return for the privilege he enjoys. A patentee ought to be compelled to manu- facture machines or patented articles for those who are ready to pay @ reasonable price for them, or at least to lease such machines or articles to all who can pay the price. The State robs itself in grant- ing a patent that is to be used to bolster up a monopoly. : el THE CATTLE PEN AT SPRING- FIELD. Half a million dollars had been sent to Springfield to corrupt the Illinois Legis- lature before the Humphrey bills of in- famy passed the State Senate. Half a million more must be sent if corporate greed and aggression is to prevail against public right and interest. For, against the storm of righteous indignation now raging, the cowering wretches once bought must be bought again if they are to brave the fury of an outraged people. Those yet to be bought will come high. For the men who betray their constitu- ents now cannot return to them, The resolutions adopted by the mon- ster mass meeting in Chicago Tuesday night breathe the spirit of a new dispen- sation. They declared the emancipation of the people from franchise-grabbers who bribed and law-makers who are bribed. They thundered out as from a new Sinai, the old commandment, ‘Thou shalt not steal.” As the deliberate judg- ment of a court powerful to enforce its decrees, they pronounced this terrible sentence: Resolved, By the citizens of Chicago in mass meeting assembled, that every Rep- resentative and Senator from Coo« County who votes for the Humphrey Dill is a public enemy and that he be treated as a traitor to his consfituents in his public and private life, and that his name be Judas, for that he sold his master, tie people, for a few pieces of money, and that the price of his treason be spent, together with the remainder of his blasted life, apart from the constituency that he has betrayed, and that, although respect for the law may prevent the personal violence due a bur- glar; be it Resolved, That we, citizens here assem- bled, solemnly, steadfastly and unforget- ting, set about to teach people the wrong done them to the end that deserved infamy and ultimate ruin may mercilessly dog the steps of public thieves. It was righteous that at such a time and place John P. Altgeld should appear, reminiscent of the past and prophetic of the future. Two years ago he alone stayed the tide of corruption and be- trayal which had carried these bills of infamy through both Houses of the Leg- islature. “I want to remind you,” said he, “that for years it has been almost impossible to get any measure passed by the Legislature unless it is backed by tremendous influence or by boodle.” Ominous words, but true. And out of such conditions is at last coming a re- vulsion in the public mind which consigns to public and social death and ignominy the men who traffic in public place and sell their votes to the highest bidders, the “2 WHY DON’T WE PROSPER? An official publication just issued at Washington sets out the fact in tabulated figures that the exports of this country in the past two years were greater in value and amount than in any previous two years in our history. The great increase in the export trade was in manufactured goods. In those lines the percentages of increase ran up into the hundreds. crease in farm staples, owing partly to short crops in this country and hard There was no in- times and reduced purchasing power in Europe. But in the fiscal year, including parts of 1896 and 1897, our total exports increased to such a point as compared with our imports that the trade balance was $250,000,000 in our favor. Such official figures completely dispose of the claim, made before the election of last year, that hard times were due to want of tariff .protection and not to the establishment of the single gold standard, According to Republican argument, be- fore that party became a vassal of the gold kings, a large balance of foreign trade was a necessary incident of a pros- perous condition of business. Democrats never denied that contention. They ad- mitted its sense and reason, but they in- sisted that more liberal tariff laws would promote trade balances better than re- strictive ones. They have justified their argument in a tariff law which has swelled our ex- ports to a point above our ‘imports never reached before. But prosperity has not come, On the contrary, in spite of a great favorable trade balance, industry has languished, And now the Repub- licans, elected to maintain the gold stand- ard, say that the only way to bring pros- perity back is to cut down our export trade, and make a restricted market, on a gold basis, for domestic manufacturers to operate in. The balance of trade is in our favor, We are taking in more gold than we pay out In our foreign commercial exchanges. Why don’t we prosper? _ Oo Neither of the St. Louls morning news- papers gives indication of the fact that one of the most remarkable struggles in the legislative history of any State is in progress at Springfield, III.

The concen- tration of capital made possible by the improved means of production, communica- tion and transportation, and which results in trusts, the Socialist regards as a move- ment altogether desirable. What he wishes for, what he expects, ig that when the pusiness of the country shall come under the control of a few great trusts the Gov- ernment will step in and substitute ftself for the individuals in enjoyment of the monopolies. Then we should have the Gov- ernment as the only capitalist, the only employer, and the co-operative common- wealth, the dream of the Socialist, would be realized. Of course there is nothing of which the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Hunting- tons disapprove so heartily as Socialism. They abhor the word, and so do their good friends, the respectable politicians of the Republican party, who give them a pro- tective tariff, the gold standard and what- ever else they think necessary to the in- crease of their profits and power. It will strike the millionaires of the trusts and their servitors as grotesque to accuse them of being Socialists, yet the professed 8So- cialists recognize in them, if not brothers in purpose, then instrumentalities im- mensely potent for the breaking down of our competitive civilization. Senator Chandler, also, will be astonished, and vastly amused, too, perhaps, to find himself classed as a Socialist. But, whether he knows it or not, he is really fulfilling So- cialistic prophecy. The Bethlehem and Carnegie steel trust having refused to furnish armor for our warships except on its own terms, Senator Chandler has intro- duced a bill to authorize the authorities to take possession of the works and oper- ate them until the Government has sup- plied itself with all the armor it needs, If the trusts are not too dull to perc®ive the significance of this Chandler bill they will mend their ways, moderate their ap- petites and not provoke the people to ap- plaud a proposal which may readily be extended in fts application to trusts other than the greedy and defiant, if strictly busi- nesslike, armor combine. The American people are far from being Socialistic in in- tention, but there is danger, real danger, that in their resentment at the power and aggressiveness of private capital they may be goaded into giving countenance to such acts of reprisal as that contemplated by the indignant Chandler—which would be rank Socialism. Extremes have an inherent tendency to meet, and the trusts by pursuing their own selfish ends are blindly pushing themselves toward destruction through governmental absorption. The movement is not one that entices the American spirit, which is nat- urally self-reliant and intensely individual. But if the issue should be brought to the form: ‘Shall the trusts run the Govern- ment, or the Government run the trusts?’ it needs no special foresight to predict the popular answer. Therefore every Amerti- can who by instinct and conviction ts hos- tile to Socialism should by reason of that hostility be in opposition to the political party which nurtures and coddlegs the trusta, po given to cialists Socialis™- nalism Ue to look outside fully t@ e HIS NEW SCHEME.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Chicago is having a bill passed in the Illinois State Legislature providing for the payment of salaries of $1,500 to the city Aldermen. This is a palpable attempt to hire the Aldermen to be honest, but it will not prove very effective, Men who require a price to be fixed upon their faithfulness to a public trust are not to be trusted when the price has been fixed. The most honest and efficient municipal governments in the world are administered by men- without pay. On the other hand, the enormous sal- aries paid to or taken by the presidents of our life insurance companies have not yet demonstrated their efficiency in securing honesty of management. We question whether, if these huge salaries were cut down two-thirds, the existing proportion of Jishonest and incapable management would be increased a particle. The Best Guarantee.

From the New York Journal. The eourse of an Indianapolis street car corporation last week in violently resisting to 8 cents is full of suggestion. Not con- tent with applying for an injunction, it ordered its conductors to eject passengers who refused to pay the old fare, and this lawless edict resulted in a series of per- sonal assaults, as in most cases the citi- zens stood on their rights under the law. A corporation exists solely by creation of the law, and it should be the last to violate the law, by virtue of its own theory of ex- istence, as well as by consideration of the ultimate results which the argument by force is certain to entail. Were it not for respect for the law on the part of the peo- ple, the action of corporations, which in- trench their interests* behind lega] enact- ments so easily invoked for their support, would be terribly embarrassed. Where there is now one attempt of the people, the working classes in especial, to reclaim some of their rights, there would then be a score. When there is a movement of those oppressed by the corporate action to make resistance which has the color of vialence, the assistance of the police and frequently of the military, State or Federal, or some- times both, is sharply invoked, and as promptly granted. When the law is on its side, the corporation is horrified at law- lessness. When the ease is reversed and corporate greed discovers itself opposed by law, we find it proceeding in the case at issue to the Same mode of natural redress, whieh, if pursued by its opponents, it would stigma- tize as mob violence and anarchy. It makes the essential difference which ox is gored. Precisely the same right of the peo- ble exists to call on Government to sUp- press the anarchy of a corporation as in the case of the corporation to subdue the violence of a mob, In setting the example of lawlessness corporations pave the way to their own destruction, for they dispense with the only buttress which gives them strength. Dingleyism in Action. From the New York World. Under present conditions 10,000,000 yards of a certain quality of woolen cloth are sold at $1 a yard in this country. Part of this, say half, is manufactured here, the rest is imported. Dingleyism enacts a duty of $1 a yard on this cloth. The importation drops to 100,000 yards, on whieh the Gov- ernment gets a revenue of $100,000, The price of the imported cloth, of course, becomes $2 a yard. The price of the do- mestic cloth goes up “as high as the market will bear.” Suppose that 8,000,000 yards of it are sold at $1.50 a yard. What is the net result of Dingleyism in ens fy a The Government gets The consumer pays $1 a yard on 100,000 yards—$100,000. The consumer pays #@ cents @ yard on 8,000,000 yards—$4,000,000.

Browns and Pittsburg Will Battle Here With Chances About Even Between the Two Teams. — _—_-—- Those baseball fans who were out of bed at 6 o’clock Thursday morning wore sad countenances. There were signs of rain everywhere, and it looked as if the cham- pionship struggle in the afternoon would be | off for sure. But the old rhyme, “Rain be- fore 7, fine before ‘leven,”’ proved its truth promptly and the fans found emiling soon after, with the sun would be in splendid shape. The early prospects of rain, died away with the parade scheduled to take place. The visitors ob- jected to taking chances with the capri- cious April weather, so at 11:00 Secretary Muckenfuss started the wagon down town unaccompanied by play- ers in carriages. The band was driven through the principal streets, and etarted back to the grounds, make music before the gong sounds the opening of the championship race of 1897. The twc teams will line up as follows: St. Louls—Douglas, left field: Dowd, cen- ter field; Turner, right field; Connor, base; Hartman, third base; Bierbauer, sec- ond base; Cross, shortstop; McFarland, catcher: Donahue, pitcher. Pittsbur~—Smith, left field: Ely. short- stop; Donovan, right field; Donnelly, third base; Brodie, center field; Lyons, first base; Padden, second base; Sugden or Merritt, catcher: Hawley or Killen. pitcher. Mayor Ziegenhein will witress the game, go Mr. Muckenfuss said, and he wiil be asked to throw the first bal! to the umpire when play is called. Bierbauer arrived from Erie, Pa.. Wednesday night, and reported early Thursday morning at the park. The practice which followed constituted all the second baseman has had this season, but he says he is in as good trim as half the men who have had Southern trips, and he made a solemn statement to Dowd that he would play an errorless game in the after- noon. The game will be called at 3:30 o’clock. Games Elsewhere Thursday. Cleveland at Louisville. Chicago at Cincinnati. Boston at Baltimore. New York at Philadelphia, Brooklyn at Washington.

SAN JOSE, Cal., April 22.—Mait Semichy, @ local light weight pugilist, is occupying a cell in the county jall as a result ofa boxing contest at the opening exhibition of the San Jose Athletic Club last night. Frank Evans, better known as “Kid’’ Ev- ans, his antagonist, has concussion of the brain, and has been unconscious since he received the knock-out blow. The contest was announced as a 15-round o. Bemichy made a rushing fight from he start, and was looked on asa sure win- ner after the first four rounds. A squad of police was present, but. as the gloves used were extra large, it was thought that the fighters could not seriously injure each other, and the contest was allowed to pro- eced. Evans fought a game up-hill battle, and occasionally made surprising rallies. he knock-out came early in the four- teenth round. Semichy caught Evans near the point of the chin with a right-hand blow, knocking him off his feet. Evans’ head struck the hard sounding bump. After Fivans had been counted out he was carried to the dressing room and a physician summoned. It was found that the defeated pugilist was in- jured seriously. Semichy was arrested, and will be kept in confinement pending the outcome of Evans’ injuries. -CHOYNSKI CHALLENGES FITZ. “Parson” Davies Formally Issues a Defy for a $5,000 Finish Fight.

Chicago Turfman Has More Trouble With Spreckels, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 22.—The fight between Ed Corrigan and A. B. Spreckels has broken out afresh, and Spreckels has attached Corrigan’s horses for an alleged debt of $2,000. Spreckels holds a note for $2,500, signed by Corrigan, who admits the existence of the note, but asserts that has been paid. In February, 1896, Corrigan borrowed 32,500 of Spreckels. On March 10, 189, he bor- rowed $10,000 more. So far the stories of the two men agree. The difference is as to a transaction of May 21 last, on which date Corrigan negotiated through W. 8. Leake a loan of $5,000. his, according to Corrigan, was to take up the first note of $3,500 and to provide for a further loan of 2,500. When the recent trouble between Cor- rigan and Spreckels occurred Corrigan paid the two notes for $10,000 and $5,000 re- spectively, and apparently all their bus!- ness relations came to a close. After Spreckels withdrew from the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, he called upon Corrigan for $2,500, but Corrigan denied the claim, and Spreckels attached the Chicagoan's stable at Ingleside late yesterday. Sunday, April 25. Address, Bonner, Miller & Co., 1008 North Twenty-second street. The St. Louis University nine defeated the Manual Training School at the Y. M. C. A. rounds Monday by a score of 26 to 4. The eatures of the game were the batting of Hape and Gummerbach of the St. Louis University. John L. Sullivan is mad. He has written from Louisville to his backer in Boston to say that he will force Fitzsimmons and Julian to pay some attention to the chal- lenge which the big fellow recently issued, but which Fitz ignored. He calls the cham- pion a freak and a blowhard and says he will “show him up in his true colors. Capt. E. H. Stumpf, who will have charge of the ladies’ division in the county tour Sunday, is working hard to bring out as many wheelwomen as possible. He says everything will be done for their comfort and the pacemakers have been instructed not to make the gait so lively as to be fa- ticuing. All wheelwomen in the city are in- vited to attend with their escorts. F. W. Buckley and his trainer left Wednes- day evening for Louisville, where Mr. Buck- ley will train for four weeks at Fountain Ferry Park grounds. He is not decided what races he will enter at the Louisville meet. He will be guided by events to present them. selves within the next two or three weeks. His decision, in case he sees fit not to race at Louisville, however, will have no effect upon the rigorous training which he has laid out for himself. He intends to put him- self in his old form, which made him a feat- ure when he rode here two years ago. IN BABCOCK’S BEHALF.

Door Opened by the Wife, Then the Husband for Whom a Warrant Is Asked, Appeared. Miss May Taylor, a waitress at Thatch- er’s restaurant, and living at 912 North Twentieth street, applied for a warrant Thursday charging Will Schraeder with as- saulting her. Schraeder is in the laundry machine business at 1616 Chestnut street, and lives at Twenty-fourth and Madison streets. “Nine months ago I became acquainted with him in the restaurant,’’ Miss Taylor eaid, “and after awhile he invited me out. We took many carriage drives, and un- der the promise of marriage we became intimate. He always told me he was sin- gle, but was not ready yet to be married. I believed him, and a few weeks ago I gave birth to a child. “Then he deserted me and I was unable to find him. He was never in his store. Final- ly I found his residence at Twenty-fourth and Madison streets and last night I went out there with the baby in my arms. “A woman opened the door and when I told her who I wanted to see she invited me in and asked me whai Il wanted. After I had tol her all about my relations with Schroed- er and told her that the. baby was his she told me that she was his wife and that she had two children by him. “While she was telling me this Schroeder came in and withouta word he struck me on the face with his fist. “The baby fell to the knocked out of the chair. He struck me again in the face and knocked me down. M Lorrenene struck on the corner of a table. “While I was on the floor he kicked me several times on the head and I don’t know when he would have stopped had not the brother of his wife pulled him off and held him, while I picked up my baby and got out of the house.”’ : Miss Taylor’s forehead was abraised, one eye was black and closed while beneath it Was a cut showing where a blow had split the skin. On the back of her head was a cut which she said was the result of a kick. She is 2 years old, very pretty, a real blonde and of liberal proportions. Col. Johnson told her he would issue the warrant if she would bring him a witness to the assault. Miss Taylor says Schraeder’s brother-in- law is willing to testify against him.

WORKS AND POMPSGOWITHHIM Occasions of Sin From the Easier Bon- net toa Whisky Bottle Will Feed the Flames. Fighting the devil with fire is an old ada- age among soul savers. The Salvation Army will give the old saw a new twist Thursday night and burn His Satanic Ma- jesty in effigy. The spectacular service will be held in the hall of Corps No. 4, on Jefferson avenue,near Walnut street. A collection of red and blue devils grin at wayfarers from the windows of the bar- racks. Around there is a motiey collec- tion of signs announcing the unusual gserv- ice. Some of these read: “Come and see the devil put into hell,” “Grand incanta- tion and revival; his Satanic Majesty burned in effigy,’’ ‘“‘There’ll be a hot time in the old hall to-night.’’ There are other signs announcing a small admission fee to pay for the fuel and red lights. pervices will be conducted by Ensign Charles P. Keast, who is said to be a red- hot talker. He will be assisted by Lieut. M. Gregerson in-charge of the stage man- agement. he Lieutenant is a handy man with a paint brush. He has evolved a picture of Beezlebub that is the typical devil of chil- hood’s dreams. The | op is 7 feet in height and flaming red. The distorted face is a deep green. He has the cloven hoofs, the tail and the pitchfork. The figure is backed by a framework of wood. On the stage of the barracks a big scaffold has been erected, consisting of two uprights and a cross beam. A rope will be twisted around the devil’s neck and he will be Swung to the crossbeam like a common malefactor. In his left hand the devil carries a satchel labeled cards of introduction. Beside him on the pattorm will bea big chest labeled ‘‘The Devil’s Working Materials.” Pans of alco- hol and red fire will be placed under the effigy. Ensign Keast will begin the proceedings by opening the devil’s satchel and review- ing his cards of introduction. One is la- beled “Pride;’’ another ‘“‘Lust:” a _ third, Plenty of Time.”’ Each will be the sub- ject of a homily. Then the speaker will tackle the devil’s tool chest and bring forth his effective in- struments. The first will be a whisky bot- tle, the next a pack of cigarettes, then a printed edition of Ingersoll’s sermons, fol- lowed by a prurient yellow back novel of the railroad stand variety. Cards, pool tickets. immodest lithographs and an Easter bon- net will be other features of the sin pro- ducing layout. Lieut. Gregerson has been scurrying around among the recently con- verted sisters for a pair of discarded bi- cycle bloomers, but his search has been un- successful. All the services of sin will be hung upon the gallows tree after they have been made the subject of Warning and exhortation. by experience telling and professions of con- version from the auditors Then the devil is finally surrounded by al) his works and pomps, the lights in the hall will be lowered, the red fire will be lit, the blue flames of the alcohol will leap up. Bel- zebub will go crackling up in flames and smoke to the rattle of the tamborines, the roar of drums and clash of cymbals, and glad shouts of hallelujah. The incidental music will be furnished by Corps No. 4, assisted by the full brass band from headquarters, at 1413 Franklin avenue and volunteers from other parts of the city. The idea of burning the devil in effigy originated with Major Winchell, now Com- mander of the California division. The service has been carried out in New York. Pittsburg, Chicago and several other cities. It is said to be the means of having brought many hardened sinners back to grace. ANXIOUS TO DIE.

WORDS A MINUTE. EXPERT OPINIONS ON A WONDER- FUL INVENTION. THE SYNCRONOGRAPH TESTED. A Machine That Will Revolutionize Telegraphy If It Can Be Op- erated Successfully. Le Three thousand words a minute by tele- graph. The contents of over one hundred newspaper columns sent over the wire in| one hour. Prof. Albert C. Crehore of Dartmouth | ‘College and Prof. Frederick Bedell of Cor- nell promise this with their invention called the “syncronograph.”’ Experienced telegraphers in St. Louis are skeptical. While not acquainted with the details of the process they recall similar innovations that have failed. Prof. Crehore told of his invention and exhibited it in New York. Prof. Bedell manipulated a similar device at the other | in Chicago. The result | was not altogether satisfactory, but it was | end of the wire made plain that under absolutely favorable | conditions, a high speed of transmission | could be obtained. The speed of 3,000 words a minute applies | only to one message sent in one direction , over the wire. With the quadruplex proc- | ess, in use in ordinary telegraphy, by which two messages are sent in the same direc- | tion over a single wire, simultaneously with | two messages coming from the opposite di- | rection, the total would be 12,000 words a, minute. For several years the Western Union has | wsed the Wheatstone system of automatic telegraphy, which sends 260 words a min- | ute, and is practically the only device that has met all requirements. The syncronograph is in effect a proposed improvement on the Wheatstone. The tele- graphed account of its ae ee resembles the description of the heatstone. In the Jatter a strip of perforated tape is run over three cylinders, each carrying needles. The perforations catching the needles on the central cylinder, the strip is drawn through the maakine. Other perforations catching the needles on the other cylinders, cause , them to revolve, thus making and breaking the current, just as the operator’s key makes and breaks the currents in ordinary telegraphy. A_ receiving machine prints. upon another slip of paper the letters ac- | cording to the Morse alphabet. Operators | ¢transiate the slips and render them into in- | telligible messages on typrewriters, From the description of the syncronograpnh | the proposed process is in its general outline ialar to this. The paper in both systems is perforated by operators who manipulate a three-keyed instrument, one key repre- senting a dot, another @ dash and the third @ space, the combination producing the let- ters of the Morse alphabet. This paper is run through the machine, but instead of catching needles, as in the Wheatstone, asses between two points of electrical con- act, so that it breaks the current except where the perforations permit the current -4 pass from one point of contact to the other. Instead of a continuous current, as in the Wheatstone, an ettesnaling current is used. In the alternations there is an inapprecia- ble period when there is no current. In the syncronograph the perforated slip is so manipulated that the connection between the two points of contact is completed or broken at the moment there is no current. This is to avoid what is technically called | “sparking,”” which has hitherto been a, formidable obstacle against high speed transmission. Instead of an inked wheel for printing the mes 6 in the receiving machine, as ; -- with the eatstone system, a rapidly re- | the 8 volving photographic plate receives message in the syncronograph.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 22.—The Senate was engrossed with a butterine Dill this morning. Berry introduced the measure, which prohibits the coloring yeilow of any substance designed to displace butter. For an hour there Was a spirited argument on his motion to advance the bill to second reading without reference. Mahoney and Crawford opposed the motion, contending that the bill was aimed at the butterine in- terests and would deprive the workingman of his butter. It required a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules and the former mem- bers could not marshal enough votes to ad- vance the bill. Berry said that a similar bill which was referred to the Committee on Live Stock and Dairying had been practi- cally killed by being referred to a sub-com- mittee. The reference of this bill, he con- tended, would mean its death. It was finally sent to the Committee on Agricuiture. The Senate adopted the report of the Con- ference Committee concurring in the House amendment to the Judicial Apportionment bill striking out the emergency c/ause, This bill now goes to the Governor.

HENRY SIEGRIST OPENED THE POST LENTEN SEASON. HER BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME. ——_ Society Folk of St. Louis Settling Themselves for the Spring and Summer. — ee eee Mrs. Henry Siegrist opened the deml Saison following Lent, with a reception Tuesday afternoon, which was in the nature of a house warming. Her home was thronged with guests, wandering from the basement to the ball room. Many descrip- tions have been given of this home, the lat- est addition to Westmoreland, but no de- scription can do it justice. It is said that a decorator was brought out from New York to superintend the interior finish and decorations, but the fair hostess Superintended the eastern artist, who con- fessed when it was completed that her rare taste and judgment had made of ft his masterpiece. While abroad last year Mrs. Siegrist selected and brought home treas- ures in hangings and works of art to carry out the scheme of interior decoration which she had planned. For her reception Tues- day there were but few additions to the every day adornment of her house. Only cut flowers were used, great vases of roses and iilies and jonquils, placed at convenfent potnts. All formality was dispensed with. The guests were left to themselves to in- Bpect the house. Humphrey sang for them, and Madame Charbonneau played upon the harp, and refreshments were served from @ beautifully appointed table in the dining room. The hostess was simply gowned in pale gray grenadine with pink effects. Her mother, Mrs. J. J. Lawrence, wgre pale blue with dnchess lace. After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Siegrist entertained for din- ner a small company of their friends. Next fall they will give a large evening recep- tion. A great many elegant functions preceded the Mulliken-O’Fallion Suge each mem- ber of the bridal party, which was very Jarge, having given some ‘de lightful form of entertainment, the gentlemen generally giv- ing club parties, while the ladies entertained “At home.

QUEER ENTRIES AT THE BUILD- ING COMMISSIONER’S. AN INVESTIGATION RESENTED. Clerks Greatly Excited, but Mr. Ran- dall Glibly “Explains” Matters to His Satisfaction. Strange things have a way of happening periodically in the office of Building Com- missioner J. Harry Randall. Now it is a ' $500,000 building permit and another for $35,- 000 which are brought to light accidentally five days after they are supposed to have been issued. The new building ordinance went fnto effect last Saturday. Among other things it limits the height of buildings to two and one-half times the width of the street on which they front and requires theaters fo be built in conformity with the strict rules in the interest of safety. A permit has been issued for a twenty- Story building at Seventh and Olive streets. It is to be lj> feet high. Olive and Seventh Streets are sixty feet wide. Two and one- half times Sixty feet are 150 feet. The new building will be twenty-five feet higher than the ordinance allows. The other permm& is for a theater at the southwest corner of Sixth and St. Charles streets. The plans do not quirements of the new ordinance. 30th permits are dated April 16, the day before the new ordinance became effec tive. Saturday there was no entry in the books of the office to show that the permits hag been issued, and they were not on the list prepared daily for the inspection of re- porters. A stub In the permit book now bears the records, and the permits are on Friday's list. The stub for the $500,000 permit is not dated. The ink shows clearly that both entries on the stub and list were made later than the others bearing the date of April 16. A Post-Dispatch reporter tried to obtain an explanation-of these suspicious circum- stances, The Building Cémmissioner was not in. The attention of Assistant Commissioner Stemme was called to the queer entries. “There is something wrong here,”’ he said, frowning. He called Clerk Worsam from the back office. “Did you issue these permits?’ he asked. ‘No, sir:’’ answered W orsam, issued by the Commissioner.’ The entries were apparently the hand- writing of Worsam. Mr. Stemme studied them for a moment, shgugged his shoulders hopelessly and went ack to his desk. John H. Randall, the commissioner’s fa- ther, came over and nearly strained himself trying to explain that it was all right. “The applications ‘were merely mis- placed,” he said. ‘‘That happens frequently.

Appointments of Assistants by the Recently Elected Republican Officials of St. Louis. THE EDISON CO. STORY OF THE MERGING OF ELEC- TRICAL COMPANIES REVIVED. IT IS PARTIALLY CONFIRMED. The St. Louis Has Given Notice That wt Will Not Need Certain ‘ Conduit Space. Henry Reinstedler, the newly elected City Marshal, sent his list of appointments to the office of Register Besch Thursday. He names as his first-class deputy Henry Erb, who killed Charles Schwering in Mohr's saloon at Ninth and St. Charles streets ten days ago. Erb was acquitted by the Coroner’s jury on the ground of self-defense, ‘but he has a “gun record,” and is regarded as a danger- The rumor of a consolidation of the Edi- gon Illuminating Co, and the St. Louis Elec- tric Light and Power Co, has heen revived, The account of the sub rosa deal by which the two companies became one was pub- lished in the Post-Dispatch a month ago. Officials of both companies still deny the statement, though it is vouched for by those who claim to have inside informa- tion, The St. Louis Electric Light and Power Company notified the Board of Public Im- provements Wednesday that it would not need conduit space on Chestnut street be- tween Fourteenth and Twentieth streets, and on Olive street between Twelfth and Twentieth. The company had asked for conduit space on these streets, and it is believed that it will now use the Edison Company's conduits. ) Neither President Dodd of the Edison Company nor President Guernsey of the St. Louis Company would acknowledge Thursday that a combine had been formed. Attorney Sim Price of the St. Louls Company acknowledged that some sort of rrangement might be made by which the Edison Company would increase itg Scop. It is thought that the consolidation will be announced as soon as the projected re- organization of the Edison Company takes place. A well known investor said Thursday: “The consolidation of these two companies will place every lighting company in St. Louis under practically the same manage- ment and will make it more difficult than ever for outside companies to compete for the city lighting contract. “At present the Edison Company has the exclusive St. Louis right to use the Gen- eral Electric Company's dynamos and sup- lies. The Missouri Electric controls the festinghouse Company’s machinery in the game way. The St. Louis Light and Power Company's recent consolidation with the Western Electric Company of Chicago gave it the exclusive right to the Western Com- pany’s machinery here. “If the St. Louis and Edison companies merge they will control the St. Louis right to use nine-tenths of the electrical machin- ery turned out in this country and it will be impossible for a new company to enter the field in competition with the combine,” MARY'S QUEER STORY. Says a Woman Assaulted Her Because a Man Gave Her a Nickel. Mary Lancaster, pretty and well dressed, applied at the City Dispensary Thursday morning to have a scalp wound, a contused face and a lacerated ear attended to. While Dr. Newcomb was fixing her up she gave a queer explanation of how she came by the marks. “My home is in Milan, Tenn,” she said. “TIT am a milliner. I left there because business was poor and I had no money. I Started for Iowa, where I have relatives. Through the kindness of railroad conduc- tors I got as far as East St. Louis. “T had no money to pay bridge toll. .I told my story to a man. He gave me a nickel.

WOMEN ELIGIBLE 10 THE OFFICE ee THE ELECTION COMMISSIONERS’ SCHOOL BOARD DECISION. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION ONLY They Must Have Been Tax Payers for Three Years Preceding Their Nomination. Women may compete with men for places on the new St. Louis School Board, to be elected under the provisions of the Civic Federation School Board law. The Election Commissioners so decided Thursday. This decision was reached after consultation with City Counselor Mar- shall, who advised that women are eligi- ble to serve as School Directors. There is one restriction, however, No nominations will be received of persons who are not taxpayers, as shown by the Asscs- sor’s records, and they must have been tax payers for at least three years preceding their nomination. : The women may find congsolatiun in that the tax paying restriction applies to men the same as women, ; It is expected this news will be joyfully received by St. Louis women, «specially those who incline toward the equal sufirage theory. It is argued that inasmucn as women are as much, and frequently even more, deeply interested in school affairs than men, it is but right that they be al- lowed to participate in school management. Another argument along this line is that the women tax payers are not exempt be- cause of their sex, and that when they are not allowed to take part in conducting pub- lic school policy, the result is taxation without representation. Since the decision of the Election Com- missioners there will doubtless be a large array of women candidates. Various clubs will offer good material and the only difli- culty liable to arise is the fact that there may be so many candidates as to result in disappointment, since the number of di- rectors to be elected is limited. So far as has developed up to date, the women candi- dates will be strictly non-partisan. Among those who have been mentioned as robable candidates are Mrs. Mulkey and Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns. The former was first in the field and claims to have a large support in South St. Louis. She has quite a reputation as a speaker. WIFE SEEKS PROPERTY. Says She Was Deserted, but Has Traced Her Husband’s Funds. Louisa Denning filed suit in the Circuit Court Thursday asking that Frances A. Denning be temporarily enjoined from pay- ing $2,637.50 to William FF. Denning until such time as the plaintiff can establish her cla‘en to a share of the money. Mra, Louisa Denning says she was married to William F, Denning in 186, but was deserted by him many years ago. Since that time he has been a wanderer and she has never heard from him directly. A short time ago John W. Denning, his father, died, leaving a small estate to be administered by his daughter, Frances A. Denning. In the settlement made in the Probate Court the administratrix allows William F. Denning 3$2,637.50, as his share of the estate, and is prepared to pay him that amount. Mrs. Louisa Denning says that she is en- titled to a share of the money which is the first of Denning’s property she has ever been able to find. GIVEN A LOADED CIGAR. Practical Joke That May Cause the Loss of an Eye. \ Max Lowden and Sam Lowenstein met on the street Wednesday night. “Have a cigar?’ said Sam. “Thanks,” said Max. He did not feel like smoking them, He put the weed in his pocket. When he awoke Thursday morning at his home, 1816 Glasgow avenue, he thought a smoke would do him good. He lighted the cigar . He there down had only taken a few draws when was a loud report. He was knocked by the force of the explosion. His face, neck and hands were terribly burned. Dr. Newcomb, who treated him at the Dispensary, thinks he may lose his left eye, He was sent home. BONES IN THE THROAT. Two Early Morning Cases for Dispen- sary Treatment. The Dispensary physicians say accidents of a given character generally happen in pairs. Dr. Thompson had two bone-in-the- throat cases just after midnight. Wiley Currie of 716 North Eleventh street came in first. He is a cook at a restaurant and ought to have known better, but he tried to swallow a fish bone, It stuck half way down and Dr. Thompson fished it out. Kd James lives at the Erie House. He tried to swallow a sausage sandwich. There was a plece of bone in it which re- fused to go down. He also journeyed to the Dispensary for relief. Press Club Seeks Incorporation. The St. Louls Press Club by its officers filed an application with Judge Spencer Thursday asking for a pro forma decree of incorporation, The constitution and by laws are embodied in the application, and the list of members is appended. The Court will, as is the custom in such oases, turn the application over to a referee for investigation and await his report be- fore making the formal order. “Building Permits. side Bilers place, between King’s ry yoy three-story brick and Aug. ee 1, west side Twentieth, be- tween Cass and O'Fallon, two-story brick residence :| $5,000, ames .

It is said that his appointment is in the nature of a reward for his help in defeat- ing Thomas for the nomination before the Republican convention. The other Seppo ments are as follows: Fred H. Smith, Chief Deputy; Charles ties; Herman Boder, J. D. Boese, George Hoffman, William M. Richmond, Walttér M. Trice, Edward L. Mansfield, Edward C. Boehmer, Martin Mikel, George Vollmer, A. G. Lyons, Jean L. Rillert, Christ Loos, Frank W. Peabody, third class deputies; John Bardol, Keeper of the Dog Pound. A large delegation of Second Ward heel- ers called on Mayor Ziegenhein Thursday morning to protest against the appoint- ment of Erb and give vent to their in- dignation over several other grievances. Onkel Henry assured them he was very sorry, but the appointment had been made and Mr. Erb had qualified. The mistake, if one had been made, could only be rectified by bringing charges against Erb. The gang growled and grunted and with- drew in bad temper. Marshal Reinstedler is not disturbed by the criticism that has come about his ears through the appointment of Henry Erb. Being a consistent Filleyite and having the approval of his boss on his list of ap- pointments, it doesn’t penetrate his de- voted skull that he has recdgnized homi- cide as a step to political preferment. ‘“‘T had no reason to turn Erb down,” said Reinstedler. ‘‘He was selected for his posi- tion before he shot Schwering. I watched the Coroner’s inquest closely and was con- vinced that he acted in self-defense. A man has a perfect right to protect himself, and that is what Erb did. : “The statement that the Second Ward opposed him is incorrect. He had the sup- port of every Republican in his ward. “IT don't know anything about his previous record. He held office under Emil Thomas and nobody kicked. He made a competent official, he aided me in the recent campaign and I rewarded him. I have no defence to make and don’t intend to offer any excuse for his appointment.”’ Henry Bus, ex-President of the School Board, was appointed Chief Deputy to Col- lector Wenneker Wednesday afternoon. He assumed his new duties Thursday morning. Assessor Frederick has appointed Emil A. Rummler to fill a vacancy. License Commissioner heo. Kalbfell says he has not yet decided who will get the plums out of the basket. He will open his office in the apartments at the oid Clty Hall recently vacated by the Board of Election Commissioners. SUIT FOR OPERA CHAIRS. Manager McCasland Seeks to Recover From the Oriental Wreck. The case of D. F. McCasland against H. A. Smidt was on trial in Judge Fisher's court Thursday. The suit is one of the many growing out of the failure of the ill-fated Oriental Tne- ater, on Eighteenth and Pine streets. C. W. Whitney, manager of the theater, made a contract with McCasland for the lease of 700 plush casino opera chairs from his opera house in East’ St. Luwuis. Mc- Casland was to get $200 in cash, 325 a week as manager, and 245 ver cent of the monthly profits after they had reached $6,090. The chairs were delivered and set up. When the Oriental broke up, they were sent back to East St. Louis. MceCasland claimed they were damaged, and asked Smidt, who had eone as security on the contract, to pay him for the chairs. Smidt refused, and therefore the suit. There was also a lot of scenery and car- pets loaned to tne Driental, which Mr, Mc- Casland says were ruined. The case took all morering to try. NEARLY BLED TO DEATH. Policeman’s Stupidity May Cost a Man His Life. George Clark, a blacksmith of 330 South Fourteenth street, was on his way Thurs- day to the Baden Car Works in search of work. Near the works he took a short cut across a vacant lot. Two dogs chased him. He ran. The largest dog caught him and sank its teeth in his left arm. In the struggle the flesh was torn and the radial artery severed. After he had beaten the dog off a police- man came along. Instead of calling the North Side Dispensary wagon he put Clark on a street car and told him to go to the Central Dispensary. ; Clark bled profusely all the way and when he reached the Dispensary he was on the point of fainting. Dr. Newocmb tied the artery and sent Clark to the City Hospital. His condition Is serious. —_---— MRS.GRANT TAKES PRECEDENCE Pauncefote’s Ungraceful Request Will Not Be Granted. NEW YORK, April 22.—The final ar- rangements for the Grant memorial parade have been made. There is not likely to be any trouble over the question of giving the Embessadors precedence in the parade of guests in carriages. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassador, who is a stickler for official etiquette, has insisted that it was the right of himself and the other Embassadors to ride immediately behind the President and ahead of the Vice-Presi- dent, the members of the Grant family, the members of the President’s Cabinet, and the members of the diplomatic corps. Sir Julian will not be gratified in this respeot. The arrangements are that the President, the Vice-President, Mayor Strong and Gen. Horace Porter shall ride in the first car- riage, with the carriages occupled by the Grant family following, and the Embassa- dors and Ministers comowine them in the order that shall be designated by Secretary of State Sherman. It may be that the Cabi- net will ride just behind the President's carriage, as they might be regarded as his personal staff, $28.70 New York and Return $28.70. Via Baltimere and Ohio Southwestern Railway, April 23, 24, 25, 26; returning May 4, 1897. Stop-over allowed at Washington, D. C., returning. USED THE CITY’S MONEY.

A Foreign Born and Pugnacious Car- penter Who Doesn’t Approve of American Laws. — Charley Thiet, a deputy for Constable Tom Skidmore of Justice Kleiber's court, had some ejectment papers to serve on Neal Ulsum, at 503 Cerre street.. In performing his duty the Constable aroused Ulsum’s ire, and was nearly brained, Ulsum was before Judge Peabody Thurs- day morning, and could not justify his ac- tions. A $100 fine means & six-months’ Work House sentence unless it Is paid, which ia as long as any one can be sen- tenced. But Judge Peabody wanted to make it good and strong, so he imposed a $v0 fine. Ulsom is a carpenter, Swede and single. He was at work in his shop when Constable Thiet and Charley Mehl, who was to help in the ejectment, arrived. The Constable explained his mission and Uls he would not be ejected. Thiet picked up a piece of furniture and started out with it. Ulsom picked up a chisel and started for Thiet. The piece of furniture was dropped and the Constable was put on the defensive. While Thiet om declared ’ ing and Ulsum_were argu Mehl picked up a trunk. “‘Where “ry to going with that?” shouted Ulsim. soni going to put it on the sidewalk,” 84 toon “No, wou won't,” said Ulsum, as =I ht- toward Mehl with a knife that had an 6.” inch blade.

Will Show St. Louisans, The tents of Ringling Bros.’ great crcus will be pitched at Laclede and Grand avenues, Monday, May 3, and for.one week two performances will be given a day. Since their advent in St. Louis two years ago this quintette of amusement caterers have doubled the size of their attraction until it now represents the investment of $3,700,000, while the average daily expense is $7,400. This circus is in fact a smal] army, for over 1,000 persons travel with it. There are over 200 horses and as many other animals. Speaking of having doubled the great show. Alf Ringling said Thursday: “There are now twice as many cars as before, twice as great a spread of canvas, twice as many animals, twice the number of surpassing arenic features and twice as lurge a street parade, which for wealth of costuming, richness of coloring and novelty of features has never been equalled.” The public owes the Ringling Bros. a debt of gratitude for having abolished the annoy- in peanut vender, the concert-ticket spieler and other annoying features. They give a splendid show and don't try to get any money out of you with side attractions. Another innovation by these brothers is the seating arrangements. One is as com- fortable under their canvas as in a theater, for opera chairs are provided instead of tiers of planks. There are elegant private boxes as well. : Among the features of the circus Is the reat spiral globe ascension of Achille Phillion, There are all manner of daring aerial achievements, the champion riders of three continents, the greatest acrobats, a score of clowns and an entirely new hippodrome. The menagerie is well worth careful study. There have been many additions, among them a genuine white elephant, such as are worshipped by the inhabitants of Siam. BABE ON THE DOORSTEP.

CHICAGO, April 22.—There was quite a general demand for wheat at the opening this mourning. Trading, however, was accompanied by little ex- citement and the market had partly settled to its normal condition. Feeling was strong on the big cash business done late yesterday, some 400,000 bu being reported sold, of which 300,000 were for ex- port. Opening cables, too, were ap agreeable sur- prise to bulls, showing less decline than expected, and later showing a partial recovery. North- western receipts were liberal, 307 cars, against 271 last week and 287 iast year. Shorts were goud buy- ers all morning. May opened rather nervous at from T4tec to T4'tec, compared with yesterday's 73%, but soon settled down and aJlV¥anced . Corn was quiet and easy at the opening, uick answers; liberal valuations; lowest rates. aydel & Son, 109 N. 7th st. ; LOANS ON PERSONAL PROPERTY. 14 words or less, 20c.

INTERESTING CAREER OF MR. ED- MUND P. WALSH. HE IS NOW QUITE Sketch of an Interesting Pioneer Whose Family Record Is Part of the City’s Early History. ILL. Edmund P. Walsh, the veteran Deputy Cireuit Clerk, has not been at his desk in the Court-house for a week. Mr. Walsh ia confined to his home, 3627A Laclede ave- nue, suffering from a serious attack of ill- ness. Mr. Walsh expressed the belief. however, that he would be able to resume his work shortly. His ailment is diagnosed as chronic dyspepsia. Owing to his age, his friends feared that his ailment might have terminated seriously. Edmund P. Walsh is a pioneer St. Lou- isan. He was born here 60 years ago and fhhas resided here continuously. He entered public life in 1854, when he was appointed Clerk of the Board of Health, which he held one term. In 1866 he was appointed Deputy Clerk of what was then known as the “Land Court,” since abolished. In 1861 he was made clerk of the same court, For the next ten years Mr. Walsh was a Jury Commissioner, and at the expiration of his ervice in that office, In 1876, he was made puty Circuit Clerk, in which position he has since continuously remained. “T remember very well,”’ said Mr. Walsh, “when Seventh street was the western lim- its of the city of St. Louis. I also remem- ber when a newcomer who wanted to en- gage in mercantile business was reckless enough to start a store on Fourth street mear where the Planters’ Hotel now stands. —— fall 3 ’ , “W 4 Jlia~ IS de | (] Dori dd \ :' ‘ , ) ’ ‘ ww *» WAN YY \\ . \ * \ = > - PDMUND P. WALSH. I say he was reckless simply because that is what everybody said about him. They regarded Fourth street as entirely too far away from the business center, which was along the banks of the Mississippi River. The reckless man made it go, however, and the time came when he was more in touch with the business center than the people who maintained their establishments closer to the river front.” Edmund Walsh was a son of Patrick Walsh, who was appointed a Justice of the Peace in St. Louis in 1820—before the State was admitted to the Union. In those days a Justice of the Peace was a notable per- sonage. In fact, the Justice had much more ‘power than is now delegated to that office. early all cases were tried in the Justice Court. When Patrick Walsh held that of- fice he was monarch of all he surveyed, for there was no other Justice in St. Louis City or County. At that time the county and city were not separated. As an in- stance of the power of the Justice Court in those early days, Judge Walsh once tried a negro for a heinous crime and sentenced him to death. The public approved the sen- tence to such extent that the prisoner was burned to death in expiation of his crime, although this cruel form of punishment Was not contemplated by the trial judge. Patrick Walsh was a native of Ireland and was one of the first settlers in St. Louis. He died in 1857. Edmund P. Walsh, theveteran Deputy Cir- cult Clerk, was educated for the drug trade when he was a youth, and at the age of 19 years he established the first drug store that Carondelet ever had. At that time Carondelet was a city of itself, existing under a government independent of St. Louis. He also took a hand in enlightening the community by becoming a part owner in the Carondelet Times, then one of the most flourishing B eg in this part of MissourlL James B. alsh, brother of EXM- mund, was the first Mayor of Carondelet. His oMest brother, J. .. Walsh, was the first Clerk of the St. Louis Court of Com- mon Pleas, holding the office until his death. Peter A. Walsh, another brother, was for several years public edministrator. Edmund Walsh is the gole survivor of the male members of Patrick Walsh's family. Mr. Walsh takes great interest in St. Louis early history, and has a collection of early-day souvenirs. One of these is a copy of the first ay directory printed here. It bears date of and contains less than 1,000 names. Many callers have dropped in to see Mr. Walsh since his sickness, and to all of them he expresses the belief that he will be able to appear at his desk in the court. house within a week. He has not been in good health for several months. To Sedalia.

FORMAL ORDER MADE NECES- SARY BY BRUTAL OFFICERS. STORY OF A FALLEN WOMAN. Punched in the Head, Cursed and Drenched With Water Because She Was Stubborn. The round-up of prisoners in the hold-over is now a tame affair in comparison with what it was prior to the issuance Wednes- day of Capt. O’Malley’s order prohibiting the abuse of prisoners. The order is couched in positive language, and has been served on all members of both the police and detective forces. It provides that any officer who assaults or uses vile or unseemly language to any prisoner, will have charges preferred against him and will have his official conduct inquired into by the Police Commissioners. Complaints have frequently been made by risoners that they were maltreated by po- oemen who inspected them in the holdover. The police invariably and unanimously de- nounced such complaints as slanders on an amiable and much abused constabulary. Even after the practice of abusing prisoners assumed such proportions that it had to be formally inhibited, members of the force deny that any prisoner was ever assaulted or cursed for not replying to questions. Lily Ray's story of her experience in the holdover is much like that of other law- breakers, but it is the latest and probably caused the issuance of the order protect- ing prisoners. Lily is a vicious charac- ter and has a six months’ Work-house sen- tence to serve for swearing at Judge Pea- ey | because he fined her for living in open sin. She charges that she was maltreated by Patrolmen Hickey and Finan of the Cen- tral Police District and Detective Denny O’Connell of Chief Desmond's staff. “I have no complaint to lodge against any save these three,’’ she said. “Every- body else, turnkeys, sergeants and all, have been kind.to me. I have been sick nearly ever since I was locked up, and feel especially grateful to atron Breen for her kindness to me. “Tuesday morning I was feeling unusually bad, and en ae | on my cot trying to rest. Policem ickey came along and stopped at my cell. My eyes were ciosed. He pushed his club through the pers ane ad an ult. He to see I asked him to told me to get up; that he wante enough; that he had arrested me on a num- ber of occasions, and could hardly have for- otten how I looked. I did not get up and @ cursed me. I pretended not to hear him and he said he would see whether or not I would do as he requested. He left and I tried to go to sleep. “The first thing I knew I was drenched to the skin with a bucket of cold water. I was clad only in a loose wrapper and the water literally covered me. I jumped to my feet, chilled and frightened. Hickey stood there with the empty bucket in his hand, laughing at me. He said he guessed I would get up the next time he wanted to get a look at me. “T was sick, and am no better on account of the drenching. Matron Breen gave me some dry clothes. “Patrolman Finan has always been abusive to me. He had talked to me in a shameful manner when I was locked up. But he never struck me but once. That was not long ago, when he asked me a question that I refused to answer. I told him I would answer the questions put to me in court, but I did not have to answer the questions put to me by a common po- liceman. Then he struck me in the face with his hand open. Of course, it did not hurt me much, but no policeman has a right to slap a prisoner, much less a de- fenseless woman. “Detective O'Connell. never struck me, but he has called me the vilest names. A few days ago he came in here when Ida West was locked up in a cell adjoining mine. Now Ida West is no better than I am, but O’Connell stood between our cells and told her to breathe the air from the side of her cell opposite mine.- He said the lowest creature on earth was too good to breathe the same air I breathed, and he called me horrible names. Since the order prohibiting such things has been issued O’Connell has never spoken to me.” Capt. O’Malley would not discuss the order with a Post-Dispatch reporter. He admitted issuing it and said it was written in one of the police records, but he would not give the reporter permission to read or copy it, “There were no particular acts that prompted the issuance of any such an order,” said the Captain. “‘We merely want to protect our prisoners. I do not think any prisoners were assaulted while in the holdover by any policeman. I would have suspended any officer who struck a prisoner for nothing, whether there was an order or not. “Now about the water throwing. Some of the prisoners would get stubborn and would refuse to come out when requested. It was the custom to take a cup of water and sprinkle their faces a little, but there was no throwing of buckets of water such as some of the prisoners complain of. The risoners as a rule are a hard lot, and it S possible that the officers went a little too far with them. If they did I don’t know it. The order was issued to prevent any such cing. It will be strictly enforced, too, and if any officer, be he a policeman or detective, should ignore the order, he will have to answer to the police board.” Capt. O’Malley explained the “rounding up” of the prisoners. He said if any crim- inal of note was captured he was led be- fore the officers at ll o’clock at night and at 11 o’clock at day, as the officers went to work, so they could acquaint themselves with his features. The police were formed in a line and the prisoner is merely walked in front of the officer. He may be asked — but he is not compelled to answer Busy Bee Bargain Day To-Morrow.

RUCKER WEDS A WIDOW HE LOST AS A MAID. WAITED FOR HER FOR YEARS. She Was Nellie Hazleton When He Lost Her and Mrs, Campbell When He Got Her. Thursday morning’s Missouri Pacific train brought a happy bridal couple into Union Station. They were Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Ruck- er. Prior to Wednesday evening the lady was Mrs. Nellie Campbell of Fort Scott, Kan. The bridegroom is the local inspector for the New York Life Insurance Company. Behind the mere announcement of the wedding sent to the many friends of the bride and groom there is a romantic story. The courtship which led to the marriage began in Fort Scott, Kan., nearly fourteen years ago, when Nellie Hazleton and Charles Rucker were schoolmates. After both had graduated from the high school their friendship. ripened into some- thing stronger. Mr. Rucker proposed and was accepted, and the engagement was announced. There was a quarrel; the engagement was broken off, and young Rucker left Fort Scott to seek his fortune in St. Louis. Before long there was another suitor at Miss Hazleton’s feet, and before the year was out she became Mrs. Campbell, and went West with her husband. During the thirteen years that followed, Mr. Rucker did not see nor hear from his first love. He worked hard, and his hair turned gray prematurely. je became known as a bachelor of the hopeless type, but he never forgot the fair-haired girl he had come so near marrying years before. Four months ago he took a vacation and visited his old home at Fort Scott. At a social gathering one night he was presented to Mrs. Campbell. There was a quick glance of recognition, followed by a convention coolness on Mr. Rucker’s part, as befits a confirmed bachelor in the presence of a married woman, In the course of a tete a tete Mrs. Campbell told her old love that her husband had died two years before. Mr. Rucker’s conventional coolness was dropped. The old flame, which had been smovidering, sprang up again. Mrs. Campbell's widowhood rested lightly upon her and Mr. Rucker with his whitened hair was not less attractive than when he first told the story of his love. There was a month of ardent courtship and another engagement was announced. j irdeome Building Thursday morning looking appy. “You can just say that I was a model . bachelor for more than twelve years and that I waited all that time for the lady who is now Mrs. Rucker. I determined to plead my cause all over again if she should ever be free and next to that my highest ambi- tion was to die a bachelor. “In the years that followed our estrange- ment I had lost all trace of her until I met her a widow at Fort Scott. But I never orgot her and never lost sight of the main hance.’’ Mr. and Mrs. Rucker will reside tempor- arily at 1518 Washington avenue. SLANG IN THE SCHOOLS. Taught to Impress Facts From ‘History. .
