Horrible Mutilation of the Soldiers by the Dynamite, Which Exploded in Their Ranks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 29.—Detatis of a terrt- ble slaughter of Spanish soldiers by Cuban dynamiters are printed here to-day in the Sun. They show that the Spanish column of 2,000 men’ was utterly put to rout by Gen. Calixto Garcia on April 19, and instead of ten soldiers killed, as the official report declared, 200 were blown up by the bombs and 260 were slain by the tnsurgents during the confusion and excitement of the panic- stricken Spanish column. The bombs had been planted in the road on which the Spaniards were marching, near Guamo. They did not explode prema- turely, week. The six bombs exploded simultaneously in the oenter of Gen. Rey’s column. He has been ordered to Havana, A Spanish officer writing to his family in Havana, says the Sun’s correspondent, thus describes the catastrophe: “The explosion was so terrible as to curdle the blood of the bravest man. We heard two tremendous detonations and felt the sensation of anguish which a great earth- quake must produce. From the center of our column a sudden shock came which threw up to the ground. The cries of our wounded soldiers were awful. When I was able to stand I saw arven® me heads en- tirely cut off from bodies, pleces of human limbs scattered ~here and there and men without arms or legs crying to heaven in| the gasp of death. “If this was direful to see, what may I gay of the spectacle on the right side of our road? There on the branches of some trees were the mutilated bodies of many of our soldiers. arms and pieces of bloody garments were hanging from the as was declared last Legs, branches, and the sight increased our ter- ror. It was perfectly easy a few moments later for our successful enemies to rout us and disperse our column, !n which nothing of military order and discipline remained. “Our General gave some orders, but they were not obeyed. Fearing another explo- sion, each man thought onty of saving him- self. Furthermore, we were surrounded in a few moments by our foes, who fired on us mercilessly from all sides and. increased our misery by their savage cries of triumph. “As soon as the first shots of the insur- gents were heard after the explosion, our General, followed his staff and some _ Other officers and soldiers, filed to Guamo. “On seeing this action of the General, a man in our ranks cried: ‘To Guamo,’ and more than 80 voices cried: ‘To Guamo! as the only hope of salvation. So toward Guamo we fled. Our panic-stricken crowd by followed the General's party, overturning “various offenses. ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER OF THE M., K. & T. ARRESTED. RELEASED ON $200 BOND. Conductor Michael Kelley Was Dis- charged by Mr. Allen and Put on the Blacklist. Assistant General Manager Andrew A. Allen of the M., K. & T. Railroad was ar- rested Thursday morning on a warrant charging him with blacklisting Michael Kelly, a discharged employe, and prevent- ing him from obtaining employment. The information was sworn to Thursday morning by Kelley before Prosecuting At- torney Mulvihill, who at once issued the warrant. The ratiroad official was notified by tele- phone. He went promptly to the Four Courts, accompanied by General Solicitor James Hagerman, and filed a $200 bond. Mr. Allen appeared annoyed, but affected to make light of Kelly’s case. Kelley is a member of the Order of Rail- way Conductors... They are backing him in the suit. It is the intention to make a test case and see if the black-list system , cannot be abolished. Kelley was a conductor on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Some time ago he was discharged from the employ of the com- fares and not turning in cash fare slips! accounting for the collections. The alleged shortage, it is said, was discovered through a local detective agency. Kelley ciaimed he was not guilty of “knocking down,’ and demanded an in- vestigation. He claims it was not grant- ed. Tt is further alleged that Kelley ascer- tained through some means a knowledge of the case as reported to the company by the detectives, and was prepared to’prove the falsity of the charge. He says he can prove that the man he Is accused of collecting cash from and not turning in to the company, did not pay cash at all, but presented a ticket regularly pur- chased. After he was discharged he could not firt employment, on any other railroad. Wherever he would apply for work, as soon as they found out who he was, he was told he could not be given employment. He alleges it was because of the ‘‘black- list sheet,’’ which had been issued by As- sistant General Manager Allen and sent to the management of every other railroad in the country. Kelley presented to the Prosecuting At- torney a copy of the black list. Beside his own name, showing that he had been dis- charged for collecting fares and not report- ing the same, there were the names of six- ty other men who had been discharged for Mr. Allen was immediately notified of the issuance of the warrant. He furnished $200 bond. When a _ Post-Dispatch reporter reached the offices of the M., K. & T. Mr. Allen was in consultation with Vice-Presi- de:iit Purdy of the road, and General Solici- tor James Hagerman. ; Mr. Allen declined to see the reporter. Mr. Hagerman consented to make only a brief statement. “This man Kelly was discharged some time ago,’’ said Mr. Hagerman. ‘“‘The com- pany immediately notified the heads of the various departments and divisions. We notified no other railroad companies, how- ever. “‘He has been around here frequently since in our despair the few insurgents who tried | to thwart us in our retreat and closely har- | rassed by the Cuban cavalry, which made havoc in our ranks.” The writer of the letter adds that the Spaniards left on the field nearly all of their arms and ammunition, besides a con- siderable convoy of provisions they were carrying to Guamo. From other letters it is learned that Gen. Garcia in person led the Cubans, and since the handing of Gen. Rolofft's expedition in Cuba the use of dynamite by the Cubans is incessant in Orient.

'Harry’s Parents Are Visiting in Chi- cago, but the Thiels Do Not Ap- pear Greatly Distressed. a The dispatches have related how Henry Niedringhaus and Miss Edith Thiel, daugh- ter of the well-known detective, were mar- ried on Wednesday at Palmyra, Mo., ina somewhat unconventional way. Few people seemed to know who the young people were. The name Niedringhaus covers a multi- tude in St. Louis, likewise some granite ware, and a wonderful interest in the tariff, and a great deal of Intelligence, etc., etc. The young Mr. Henry Niedringhaus, who chose to run up with his bride to Palmyra to encounter country parsons and squires is about & years old. He is the son of Henry L. Niedringhaus, brother of the Granite stone and high tariff ex-Congressman, and all accounts agree that he is a proper young man. “Why,” said Mrs. Pocock, sister of the bride, at the home of her father, Mr. G. R. Thiel, 4024 Lindell boulevard, to a Post- Dispatch man, ‘“‘there was really no objec- tion that I know of. Edith is very young. We never dreamed that she had a love af- fair. Why, she is only a child. But we | will accept the thing of course.

Yes, we will forgive them, of course. Father will, I know, and—pardon me, do you know, and here the lady lowered her voice, “I think it was awfully funny in Fuith and Harry. and wonderfully jolly and —Gracious! If Mr. Pocock and I had it to over again—well! Sister!’ Ouse Thiel came down stairs just then and talked quite freely. Miss Thiel laughed and said: “Edith has surprised us all. She is a very delightful girl in her way, bur I hardly thought that Mr. Niedringhaus would lead her to such a sudden fulfillment. She is very young—only 17. Dear me, why were they in such haste? There was no disapproval that I know of on the part of either family, and they could well afford to wait.”’ Miss Thiel added somewhat pathetically: “It isn’t pleasant to see families broken into this way. We are a1] so happy Rere.

They are married,’ Miss Thiel added, “and I just don't care.”’ The Thiels have a beautiful home on Lin- dell boulevard. It is full of frescoes, dee- orations and paintings and etchings by the masters. The ladies of the household are ina state of feverish expectancy about the home coming of the bride. Harry Niedringhaus is the son of Henry L. Niedringhaus, general manager of the Granite Iron Rolling Mills, and boards with his father and mother at the West End Hotel. The old folks are visiting in Chi- cago, but have probably been notified by telegraph that they have a new daughter in the family. A WIFE AND AN OFFICE.

SITUATION AT ATHENS. Members of the Opposition Cheered by the People. ATHENS, April 29.—The Legislative As- sembly, convoked in extraordinary session, met a second time last evening and again adjourned, owing to a lack of quorum, only ninety-five deputies being present and 104 being the number necessary to proceed with business. The adjournment was followed by much excitement and cries of disap- proval from the galleries. After the adjournment the Premier, M, Delyannis, had a long conference with the King and the opposition deputies held a prolonged meeting, but the conference broke up without deciding upon a programme. A crowd of fully 10,000 people surrdunded Parliament House when the Deputies as- sembled and many of the outsiders swarmed up the steps and invaded the vestibules. The th#®ngs there and in the streets eagerly dis- cussed the situation. Mr. Rall, the former Minister and oppost- tion leader, was among the first of the Depu- ties to arrive. He was cheered and was accorded various other marks of sympathy but the crowd generally maintained the sul- len.demeanor engendered by the dishearten- ing news of the past few days. The Minis- ters reached Parliament House in clo carriages. The crowd siowly opened a way to allow them to pass and respectfully sa- juted the occupants of the vehicles. The pu He galleries of the House were throng among those present being Many ladies an members of the Diplomatic Corps. When the Prestdent of the Legisiative As- sembly, M. Zaimis, owing to absence of @ quorum, declared the sitting closed, the an- nouncement was greeted with exclamations of impatience frem the members of the opposition ane. wie cries of disapproval! from the galleries. As the excitement increased M. Reallt, rising to his feet, motioned to, his suppert- ers to remain calm. His advice was fol- lowed and the deputies filed out of the House. The opposition deputies proceeded to & committee room, where they consulted the failure of the session.

TURKEY ON TOP. Yet Her Squadron Has Not Left the Dardanelles. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 29.—-The fol- lowing official statement was issued here to-day: “The Sublime Porte formally contradicts the rumors of atrocities committed by the imperial troops at Filiapida, and also the report of the mutiny of seamen — ted testimony of all correspondents oO irelan newaenDets at heacquaryre and the admiration they express for the disct- pline, humane feeling, bravery and moder- ation of the Ottoman soldiers, prove these accusations to be totally unfounded, and due to the imagination of the people whose malevolence equals gl eee 24 Ed- Pasha has taken all the Seta ty to repress every kind of abuse. The alleged mutiny is absolutely contrary act.”” torhe Dintostes of the Turkish troops have enormously raised the military spirit. of the Turks, and the confidence thus inspired in Turkey's vitality is removing the dissatis- faction felt with the present regime, while at the same time rendering the powers echeme of reform for the Ottoman Empire harder of real‘zation. The advantages which Turkey will derive from the war are already discussed in high quarters, where it is declared that Turkey should in any case be released from the obligations imposed upon. her in regard to Crete and the rectification of the frontier. Tt is also suggested urged that Cape Punta, opposite Prevesa, at the entrance of the Gulf of Arta, should be restored to Turkey, and that Greece should be required ay a big indemnity. atgnf care “oir les it ia further urged that a Turkish squadron should be dispatched to Volo to support Edhem Pasha’s occupa- tion of that district of Greece. The Turk- ish scuadron, however, has not yet left the Dardanelles, and the captain of an Aus- tralian mailship which has just arrived here reports that three of the Turkish warships and one of the Turkish torpedo boats have run aground in the Dardanelles. The Austrian captain adds that one of these warships is in a serious position, as the sea is breaking over her. It is belleved the war vessels collided during the progress of naval maneuvers. The German Ambassador, Baron Saurma and “Von Jeltsch, had an audience with the Sul- tan yesterday. AGAINST ENGLAND, Emperor William Plans a European Combination. NEW YORK, April 29.—A dispatch to the Journal from London says: The Daily Mail's Berlin correspondent tel- egraphs: Somewhat serious news of the threatened European combination against England-is now current here. Emperor William is reported to have a detailed plan by which the interests of Germany, France and Belgium in the Transvaal are to be protected against English intrigue, and arms. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Tageblatt affirms that France has agreed to the Emperor's scheme, and it is further Said that Russian court circles are ex- tremely embittered against England. This is attributed to the Dowager Czarina having accused England of being the cause of Greece going to war. The German Naval Department has or- dered that all work in the dock yards be expedited and I hear that in sume yaras work is being carried on day andl night. One cruiser will be ready in a few weeks and three other vessels by autumn. Alto- gether, there are nineteen now in course of measures. AVAGES OF THE —=— HOMELESS PEOPLE PASSED A TERRIBLE NIGHT. DOZENS CLUNG TO TREES. Many Lives Were Lost, but the Exact Number Cannot Yet Bs Learned. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 29.—Daylight in the Cottonwood Valley found dozens of peo- ple still clinging to trees, overturned houses or timbers in positions which they had sus- tained all during the weary night... Here and there positions known to have been oc- cupled wh@n darkness came on last night were empty this morning, and the only con- clusion to be drawn was that the luckless victims had dropped into the river during the night, been drowned and their bodies swept down stream. For miles along the scene of devastation two thousand people, homeless, half ill from exposure and hunger, passed a miser- able night, and morning found most of them too weak to lend much assistance eith- er to themselves or others. During the night the water had receded rapidly, and the work of rescue was more easy this morning. When darkness stopped further rescue last evening every man available went busily to work to construct raft for use to-day, and when the first light broke small parties started out from different points and began transporting the people from their perilous positions to land. The water was not so high or swift as yester- day, and the rescuers made rapid progress. During the night organized reHef, under the direction of Guthrie people, was pushed as completely as possible, and renewed ef- forts were put forth this morning. No more reliable estimate of the dead or of the property damaged than was given last night could be made. Every hour, bodies left on the land by the receding waters or found in houses or piles of debris come to light. This within a few miles of Guthrie. What the damage to life and property fur- ther out tn the country was will only be known when wire and railway train com- munication, now ata standstill, is resumed, Many poor people who had _§ struggled since the “opening’’ eight years ago to build up a little home are left with only a small plat of ground. Their housés, house- hold goods, and in fact, all their posses- sions save the clothes they wore, have gone down the river. The banks to-day are lit- tered with the dead carcasses of horses, cattle, hogs and chickens, and great masses of debris. Among these people are searching for hu- man bodies. Every house, drift pile and tree is being examined to see if they con- tain any dead.

Islan oo ao hg Ranta Fe and Rock ; telegraphic communications are at present passing between the United States Lega- tion at Tokio and the Unfted States Gov- ernment, and is of the opinion that they relate to the refusal of the Hawalian Gov- ernment to permit Japanese emigrants to land. The steamer Doric, which called at Hono- lulu April 8 brings advices that Hawalians are making much of the presence of the Philadelphia. The advices say: It- is certain Admiral Beardslee hag not come to Honolulu clothed with executive power to execute a special mission for his Government. Had he come to annex the islands or to reseat the ex-Queen on her throne, he certainly would not hdist the deck awnings, set the painters to painting the ship and with the officers accept the hospitality from friends ashore. It is be- lieved that the Admiral is awaiting fresh orders by the next steamer from San Fran- cisco before proceeding on his mission. Hawaiians believe the President is about to appoint a Minister who will come to Honolulu and consummate annexation. It is generally believed the cruiser Philadelphia was sent at the request of Acting Minister Mills to protect United States citizens and property in case of trouble with the Japan- ese Government over the refusal of Presi- dent Dole to permit Japanese emigrants to land here. Col. Z. S. Spalding, cable promoter, has re- turned from Washington. His cable agree- ment with that Government expires on May 12. He will make an effort to have the option extended, but it is understood that President Dole and his Cabinet are opposed to granting an exclusive franchise. LIKE A DIME NOVEL.

Judge Reagan, the Only Cabinet Sur- Eulogizes Jeffer- son Davis. vivor, DALLAS, Tex., April 29.—The Confeder- ate monument erected through the efforts of the Daughters of the Confederacy of Dallas Was unveiled this morning. It is of Texas granite, the shaft being fifty feet high, and the monument honors both the private and the chief. On the top of the column stands the private and at the base are four pedestals on which are iife-sized statues of Jefferson Davis, R. EB. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Sidney Johnston. Jeff Davis pulled the cord that unvelled the form of hig grandfather, Lucy Hays did the saMe for Robert E. Lee, while a little granddaughter of Stonewall Jackson completed the unveiling by pullos the cords which removed the vel from the Statues of Jackson and Johnston. After a number of young ladies repre- Senting the different Southern States had cecorated the monument with flowers, the Hon. John H. Reagan, the only surviving member of the Confederate Cabinet, deiiv- ered a eulogy on President Davis. He said in part: “To me has been assigned the duty of saying, in a brief way, something about the character and services of the President of the Confederate States, the beloved Jeffer- #0n Davis. My association with Davis dur- ing the great struggle and the very high Opinion I patriotic devotion to the cause of the con- ederacy and of his unvarying constancy and courage, makes the duty most agree- able, except that I recognize my Inabilit to give such an account of his service an ortraiture of his character as is due to is memory. “To say that he was an honest man, a brave sdldier, an able statesman, a sin- cere patriot and an earnest Christian, does not give the full idea of his character. In one respect there was to some extent misapprehensions of his character. It was sometimes alleged he was self-willed, tm- perious and stubborn. Those in close con- tact and association with him did not so regard him. I have heretofore expressed the view, and now repeat it, that prac- tically he had two characters, or rather two methods of thought and action. While in his private relations he was all gentle- ness and kindness, itn the discharge of his puljic duties he seemed to be guided almost wholly by a sense of duty. And he seemed to expect those who conferred with him about public matters to address themselves directly to the matter under consideration, and was not at all times patient with such persons as sought to occupy his time in general conversation or as to matters about which they could five him no information. It will be readily understood that one occupying his position, in which his whole time was necessarily given to the dis- charge of important public duties, could not permit that time to be wasted in com- monplace conversation, or in listening to men who could give him no real informa- tion. This doubtless created the idea with such persons that he was self-willed and imperious. “Another mistake as to his character made by some persons has been that he wuvuld not listen to advice about matters of importance. More than four yearg of constant contact with him as a member of his Cabinet enables me to say that this was @ great mistake. His habit was, when he took up a public question on which he had to act, to exhaust all available sources of information on it before coming to a conclusion, always consulting freely with the members of his Cabinet and with others who might be able to give him informa- tion. After doing this and reaching his conclusion the matter was settled with him, unless the presentation of new facts required further consideration. And tn the position he occupied vacillation would have been about as bad as the erroneous de- cision of public questions. I say this much on these polnts because I think in respect to them some injustice has been done to his memory. : “The solicitude of President Davis for the success of the Confederate army caused him several times to put himself under the fire of the Federals in battle. At the Battle of Seven Pines (Fair Oaks), I saw him, Gen. Lee and Gen. Magruder under a heavy fire of musketry and remonstrated against his so exposing hfmself when there was no special necessity for it. During the first of the seven days’ fighting near Richmond he was exposed to the enemy’s fire and Gen. Lee ordered him to quit the field. Some days afterward, when Gen, Lee ap- peared in the Cabinet, Mr. Davis jocularty said he had supposed he was commander- in-chief, but that Gen. Lee had ordered him from the fleld, and on the day of the battle between Richmond and Petersburg, I saw Mr. Davis in company with Gen. Beauregard under a brisk fire of cannor and sharpshooters for a considerable time during which several parses were hit, and one soldier boy standing near the Presi- dent had his arm shot off by a shell. At the request of some of the officers I urged him to leave the fleld, as his exposure to the fire of the enemy was unnecessary. “In the Cabinet next morning, referrin to my advice that he should quit the fle} the evening before, he said he felt ag I did, that he could render no serivce there but added: “That it would have been an unpleasant thing to ride off under fire.’ “President Davis had the chivalrte cour- age of a Richard Cour De Lion, the Roman virtue of constancy and the love of liberty ofa Cato. God bless his memory.” Other eulogies were pronounced ag fol- lows: On Gen. R. E. Lee by the Hon. George N. Aldredge; on Gen. Stonewall Jackson by Judge H. W. Lightfoot; on Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston by the Hon. Nor- man G. Kittrell; on the private By the Hon. A. T.-Watts. The ceremonies ended with a battle of flowers, participated in by all the base of the monument at the end ing covered with a mass of flowers. — Ss Increased Its Stock.

This will mean to them the defeat of the bilis which they are favoring by the overwhelming Humphrey contingent in the Senate, who, it is said, will, now that they have gone on record as ringsters, fight the measures of every man who dares to oppose them in the House. These pernicicus bills are being held over the heads of every House mem- ber, with the threat to vote for them or April 29, —Smolder- malines, 190 No. 7 flowers and fancy aigrette: would be a barevin “— a . ee. ’ ard vw = . * we B44 ° » a J a 6s a. , e - 7 z : td ad * 3 . ‘Sy Se eh ‘ - es, 4 4 eh Pr Tt Ss oe oe oe Me ig ee ’ 77 x Ze BN et es A Na ee ead a ee ee eee i Ba See we 3” ae A aa, wrt 4 oa = 2 aa _ rx ' oohe ig the 4 4 | 7 : * ” « So Se te .

Every indication points to the weakening of the forces behind the bills, and the loobv is urging upon Humphrey and his cohorts to deliver the goods. They have disposed of themselves, and must now see that the measures go through the House at the ex- vense, if need be, of every good bili of the Louse. The members of the House opposed to the bills held a caucus late Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of perfecting an orgenization in opposition to the bills. About thirty-eight members were present at the meeting. Plans of procedure were fully discussed and the following members were appointed a steering committee to canvass the members of the House for the purpose of ascertaining the strength of the opnosition: Repubilicans—Tisdell, chairman; Shanahan, Needles. Miller, Bailey and Rowe. Demo- crats—McGoorty, Stoskopf, Perry, Staud- acher, McLaughlin and Alschuler. Other members present at the caucus were: Sherman. Guffin, Cochran, Allen of Randolph, Nothnagle, Merrill, Wylie, Joy, Daugherty, O'Donnell, Hussman, Scrogin, Warde, Joyd, Murray of Stark. The members of the steering committee held a mecting last night, at which time the result of their canvass was discussed. It was the expressed opifion that the bills could never pass the House. Mr. Tisdell; chairman of the stecring committee organized to oppose the bills, said in an interview after the meeting: ‘‘A number of members of the House who are opposed to the Humphrey bills met to- Gay for the purpose of pe rfecting an or- ganization against them, as it is supposed that the men behind these measures are actively engaged itn preparing to push them through the House. While no gener@l can- vass has been made of the opponents of the bills, it is generally understood that a few vf the leading members of the Lower House have been intrusted with the task of ocganizing against the bills, and an in- formal meeting of those gentlemen was held. The steering committee are satis- fied that the bills can never pass the House, as the friends of the measures are losing ground each day.” The members of the committee refused to say whether or not the Humphrey libel bill was discussed, There is no doubt but that this bill will go to third reading in the Senate to-day. If it is amended At will be made only more obnoxious. RIOTOUS SCENES. Pandemonium Reigns in the Illinois Legislature. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April ing committee appointed in opposition to the Humphrey railroad bills hate been sounding members this morning as to their position on the bills and have found con- verts. A meeting has been called for to- night of all members in opposition to the measures. For half an ‘hour the House witnessed the stormiest secnes of the session. Pan- demonium reigned and every member was on his feet shouting at the top of his voice. Riotous scenes were brought about by Merriam asking unanimous consent to re- call to second reading the ardon bill which came up as a special order on third reading. He gave as his reasons that he wished to amend the measure by makine the salaries of commissioners $1,500 instead ° 29.—The steer- Johnson of Whiteside (Dem.) favored the motion. He said the work of the board would require only thirty days’ work a year, and it was an outrage to burden the people with this useless board while people were tramping the streets looking for honest employment. eedles, Republican, chairman of the ap- ropriations committee, said that he agreed or once with the spokesman of the Demo- cratic side. He charged the members on his side of the House with reckless appro- priations and said that if the Republicans expect to continue in power in the State they would have to observe decency in ap- pro riations. have visited only one institution this ear,’ sald he, “and that was the Insane ospital at Anna, and I want to say that the elegance displayed there in the admin- istration office appalled me. There were chairs costing $75 each.’’ Needles’ speech Was interrupted by Democratic applause and the Republicans tried to cry him down. Selby (Rep.) secured the floor and. began @ political vituperation of the last Demo- cratic administration. The members were on their feet shouting until the speech was lost in the noise. The bill was amended fixing the commissioners’ salary at $1,600 per annum, and that not more than two members of the board shall be of the sarme political party. The bill was then ad- vanced to third reading. Van Praag in Custody. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch.

Thursday evening Mary went to 920 Lo- cust street and too ssession of a vacant room on the third floor. A. B. McIntyre, who rents the premises, saw her coming, but he said he knew Mary of old and knew that any of his protests would avail him nothing. She told him she had come to stay and he did not dare to stand in her way. She retreated to a rear room on the third floor. Not satisfied with locking the door, she procured a hatchet and nails and nailed it securely. McIntyre found Sergt. Mansfield and re- quested the woman’s arrest. The Sergeant called Patrolmen Degnan and Noonan and they stormed the castle. Mary defied the officers and dared them to break in the door. She threatened them with prosecu- tion and all manner of dire thin The united efforts of the police soon gained en- trance and Mary, struggling, was taken to the Four Courts and locked up In the Police Court Thursday she wanted a continuance until she could get her wit- nesses.

Annie Rice, Aged 11, Who Knows All an Wicked. 1 Annie Rica, age 1 years, was arrested by Patrolman Powers at Seventh street and Franklin avenue Wednesday night as she was tearing the clothing from her &8- year-old companion, Stella Wall. Stella's sister, Ellen, aged 12, was unable to we with Annie, and screamed loudly for the police. At the station the older Wall child said she lived with her mother at Main and Elm streets. Eight days ago Annie Rice enticed Stella from home, and was keeping her up in the Fourth District to teach her how to “hook"’ things. Stella corroborated this statement. Annie, who is twice eleven years in ex- perience, and has been arrested several times, indignantly denied teaching Stella anything wrong. “She's got my clothes on, though, and I want them.” and she made a dive at Stel- la. A policeman had to hold her. She squirmed in his grasp, insisting on another attack. Little Stella's clothing was already in shreds, and it took numerous pins to put her in shape to go on the street, She was then sent home in custody of her sister. Annie was lectured by Capt. Joyce when the Walls were well out of the way. She lives at 1108 Carr street. T. J. Dalton Not a Wife-Benter. T. J.

The catastrophe at Guthrie, Okla., em- phasizes again the folly of locating cities in bottom land which is practically the bed of a river, and allowing hundreds vf flimsy dwellings, in which women and children are to live, to be built in what will every few years be a flooded area. Almost every spring a portion of some American city that has been built down in a river bed is devastated by a flood and human lives are lost. Our wtnim- proved rivers are not to be treated like those of Europe, The climate here is such that rivers have an excessive rise and fall: They do not wander peace- fully by, bankfull nearly all the year round, as most rivers in Europe do. At one season they are almost empty, and at another season they are rushing floods. Yet American settlers, as a rule, ignore this fact and build their houses in what is really the river bottom, treating the river as if it was always to be the knee- deep and insignificant stream that it us- ually is in the middle of summer, One of the first things a new town or city located on a river ought to do is to make its river front reasonably safe, and until this has been done the bottom lands near the river should be kept free from shanties and flimsy residences that will probably be swept away, with loss of life, the first time a big spring rain overflows the banks. ~ - -- - o- O- —w -- --——- AN ILLINOIS STATESMAN.

It is an evidence of the degree of reflec- tion or of common sense some writers bring to the discussion of current events that European correspondents conclude that the Greeks cannot hold the pass of Thermopylae because the pass is much wider than when they held it against the Persians in ancient days. Why such a discussion? Tt is irrele. Vant and absurd. Were the pass of Thermopylae as narrow now as in the Gaye of old, or narrower, the Greeks could not hold it against a modern army. Could Leonidas himself come back to command them, a few well-trained guns, a storm of screaming shells to- decimate their ranks, and the explosion of subterranean mines beneath them, would dislodge them without the necessi. >. ty of a bayonet charge. ~ It would be a poor military tactician in strategy who would pass of Thermopylae Bite ‘ey vO” 9p 2heyeeaey : ake . >) ee, PWS, Tes A st OAT he, , il the fold. ing its energies, people. quences. followers.

The little Reform Club coterie, which continues to worship at the Cleveland shrine after the brass torso and clay feet of that pinchbeck idol have been exposed, 1s the victim of the ignorance of political conditions in the country at large which is eminently characteristic of New York provincialism. It is clearly apparent that both Mr. Cleveland and the little coterie aforesaid are cherishing the notion that the Democratic party wants their help and is desirous of getting them back into tents, bringing forth fruit meet for repentance. shall give up their twelve-dollar-a-plate dinners, their mutual admiration coteries, their holier-than-thou posing, and shall profess the party creed as formulated at When Mr. Cleveland and the little cotérie grasp the full significance of ing with them and know what it means. As a matter of fact, the real Democrats of the United States were not downcast by the defeat in November last, because of the strong feeling they had that they had’ won a substantial victory in ridding the party forever of the Clevelands, the Whitneys, the Rothschild-Belmonts, the Brices, the Pierpont Morgans, and the rest of the treacherous Plutocratic gang that had been thwarting its purposes, paralyz- and diverting it from its natural function as the party of the plain Even though the election was lost, a campaign that resulted in ridding the party of this incubus was in no sense a defeat. On the contrary, it was a prepara- tion for future victories that would. mean something. The Post-Dispatch takes pleasure in informing Mr. Cleveland and his coterie that the writer of the Chicago platform and the men who accepted it understood exactly what they were about. They were perfectly well aware that principles and policies were embodied in that platform which it would be much more difficult for the Clevelands, the Whitneys, the Belmonts, the Brices and that ilk to accept than the demand for free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. They purposely made that platform a declaration of fundamental Democratic principles on other ques- ticns than the money question—questions fraught with as momentous conse- They knew very well that if the silver question were sidetracked or elim- inated entirely, the pretended Democrats who had been bunkoing the Democratic party for sixteen years would flee in affright before the declaration of other genuine Democratic principles embodied in that platform. In other words, the bolt of the Wall”Street contingent that had been mas- querading as Democrats was no surprise to the Democratic leaders or to their party It was confidently expected. More than that, it was earnestly desired. The base treachery that followed the supposed Democratic victory in 1892 con- vinced the leaders of that ‘party that the only way to redeem it and bring it back to its work in behalf of the people was to expose the traitors and drive them out. Now that they are out, the desire of all true Democrats is that they stay out. And there is a grim determination that they shall not come back except as peni- If they want reinstatement, they this statement, they will begin to understand the politics of the present and of the If they don’t like the lesson, they can go where they belong, and when the Republican party takes them into full fellowship, it will deserve and receive the sympathy of Democrats who have tried the experiment of associat- —---——_ —_ or any other slaughter pen like it which affords neither concealment nor natural defense.

Senator “Billy” Mason of Illinois has, ever since he reached Washington, k2pt five secretaries busy answering letters of Illinoisans with a mouth for pie. He has worn out several pairs of shoes tramping between the Capitol and the White House in efforts to get places at the trough for his hungry and thirsty con- stituents. His failure has been told by himself, speaking in parables, but para- bles have ceased to serve his purpose. Senator Mason has resolved to bring McKinley to terms. So he announces that when the high tariff bill reaches the Sen- ate he will offer what he calls an amend- ment, but which will be, in reality, a4 substitute. His measure will recite the articles in the protective list which are manufactured in this country by Trusts, and propose that all of them shall be put on the free list. As nearly every article that is highly protected in the Dingley bill is of Trust manufacture here, the Mason substitute will beialmost equiva- lent to.a motion to strike out all the schedules. It will certainly strike ter- ror to the hearts of the Trusts and com- bines, because Mr. Mason, voting with the Democrats and Populists, can pass it. And that terror, being communicat- ed to the White House, will lead to an in- vitation to Senator Mason to call and ‘see the President on urgent business. The Trust managers can. be relied upon to arrange the details of the interview. And once together, Mr. Mason.will tell Mr. McKinley that he isopposed to a tar- iff which keeps his friends out of office. Then Mr. McKinley will hand Mr. Mason some blank appointmentg and tell him to fill them out. . Then Mr. Mason will with- draw his amendment “for the good of the party.” We begin to understand the meaning of Senator Mason’s recent protest against Senatorial courtesy. He meantit. And people who have thought it impossible for Mr. Mason to do serious things ought to ask President McKinley what he thinks about it. —_—_————-_ eo -———_-———_— Police Court Clerk Kleintopf is criti- cised for making the following record: On the 2ist dav of October, 18946, the case {is called and The Defentand pleated not guilty the court after hearing the Testomny found the Defentand to be not Guilty and orterd his Dischargee.

Miss Wilkinson of London has achieved fame and a high reputation as a landscape gardener. Many of the London parks have been the products of her mind in designing, and deft hands in guiding them to comple- ion. America, says Meehan’s Monthly, is about to dispute the title of the Old World to a monopoly of this distinction. Miss Beatrix Jones is already deemed a success in this line and has been engaged in works requiring a high degree of. knowledge of landscape gardening. The statement made some time ago that the first woman to speak in a Jewish syna- gogue was Mrs. Hannah L. Solomon, who addressed an audience in a Chicago syna- gogue, proves to have been erroneous. Mrs. Frederick Nathan had spoken some weeks earlier from the pulpit of Terhple Beth-E] in New York City at the invitation of Dr. Kohler upon the ‘‘Heart of Judaism.”" Mrs. Hannah L. Solomon is, by the way, not a rabbi, but the president of the National Council of Jewish Women, and both she and Mra. Nathan have an enviable reputation for learning. MORE MODERN WIT.

From the New York Journal. Perhaps it may be as well to recall to an ex-office-holder now resident in Princeton, N. J., that one incident—and an unfortunate one—in the life of the hero. whom New York and all the nation magnificently hon- ors to-day was an unsuccessful aspiration to a third term in the Presidency. A soldier of inflexible determination and unquestioned personal bravery, the savior of a nation, and, by his nobleness and simplicity of heart, one of the chief factors in -assuaging the acerbities of war time hatreds, a man known and honored of all foreign peoples, with a mind broadened by wide travel, a statesman who at a critical moment showed himself superior to the dangerous influences of Wall Street, from which some of his successors have been less obviously free, Grant strove for a third term and failed. The present moment is one peculiarly fit to remind a later aspirant to a like unpre- cedented honor that what was denied to an American of such transcendent qualities of greatness as Ulysses S. Grant will not be yielded to mere self-seeking politicians, Mason Will Down the Trusts. From a New York Journal Letter.@ Mason, it would seem by his own good word, owes Hanna naught. McKinley noth- ing; neither does he fear them. Nor does Mason tremble before a trust. Therefore, as soon as the tariff bill is before the Senate Mason will offer an intrepid, not te gay an interesting amendment. Aason will recite in his measure a list of trusts; the Sugar Trust, the Sewing Machine Trust, the Iron Trust (steel rails), the Whisky Trust, the Cotton Trust, the Woolen Trust, the Rubber Trust, the whole wide and well-known thieving world of trusts, in fact; and then proceed to place on the free list every artli- cle manufactured by these trusts. The Dem- ocrats will all vote for it; the Populists will all vote for it; Mason himself will vote for it, and there you are. The deed is done, the trusts are smashed, the bloody wheels of Mason’s chariot have rolled over them, the hoofs of his war horses have beaten in their faces. Incidentally the MrKinley tariff will be riddled like a rag. Really, I'm not laughing. This is all serious. Mason is about to tear the tail off the Republican tariff and beat the McKin- ley-HManna syndicate with the raw and dripping end. And the Democrats and the Populists will pat Mason’s back and give him aid and comfort. “It will make you President, Billy, if you do,”” gurgled an admiring auditor, for there were three besides Aldrich. “IT don’t want to be President,” retorted Mason. “I only want to be right.” CITY ‘EXPERIENCES.

When the question of free education was introduced, also the subject of half time at- tendance for children of the poorer classea, who had passed their necessary examination according to their age, I found the women always pleading eloquently on the side of their less fortunate brethren, Ofttimes has their influence been felt in the squalid habi- tation, when men have become discouraged by their circumstances.

Another important reason why women should assist in this work is to secure &@ proper sanitary condition of schools.

Third of the White Stocking Series All but Won by Dowd’s Men, Who Hammered Griffith. : oo ty ‘ , It is never pleasant to write an account of the home team’s defeat. The task becomes particularly disagreeable when the poor work of a certain three or four players Is re- sponsible for the victory of the other side. Rut when games are lost through the dividual bungling work and weakness justice to the other players who-struggled hard for a win demands that the culpable ones be taken to task and given full credit for their contributions to the score of the other side. Therefore, be it known, that St. Louis played all around Anson's men Wednesday afternoon; that the White Stockings were from the first up against it; that they had all but resigned themselves to defeat; that they were given the game at the eleventh hour by three Brown Stockings, namely, Louls Blerbauer and onte Cross, not for- getting William Hartman, the third bag man, who chipped in for the “‘Anson testi- monial’’ by a throw so wild it was posi- tively riotous. Rierbauver not only fumbled a ball which would have retired the side, but he erred once in his judgment which resulted in an- other score for the visitors. A White Stocking was on first and Pfeffer followed with a babyish poke to Bierbauer. The second baseman hed ample time to catch the runner at second, but instead he chose to retire Pfeffer at first. Griffith next whacked out a single, scoring the man on second base The next batter retired his side. Had Bierbauer let Pfeffer go and re- tired the preceding batter at second the run would have been saved. Hartman's misplay every way. Everett, baseman, had hit to ligingliy fumbled. giving the runner his base, Dahien went out on a fiv. making two men out for Chicago. Lange next singled, and Thornton followed with a three-bagger, scoring Lange and Everett. These two runs were the other gifts of Bierbauer. Hartman's mite was wdded soon after. Thornton was on third, and tvan cracked down to Hartman 4 stinging rounder. It went into ne heseman's mands, and was too hot for him. The ball aid not get away, thoush, and when Hartman recovered it ‘is play was simpy to hold tt, for the hit was palpably safe, and Ryan was almost anchored on Con- nor'’s bag. Inetead, Hartman got excited and fired .the ball a few dozen feet over Roger's head, and Thornton trotted home. Cross, the third of the guilty trio, Is due for a lecture, not on account of fielding er- rors, for he made none, pleying, on the con- trary. an acceptable game at short. It was at the bat that Moses Montefiore Cross distinguished himself by not doing any- thing. Had he been able to seratch out a hit, or bent it, or send out a long fly, or do anything except to strike out or pop up a Wcak one to the infleld, St. Louis would not have bees defeated in spite of the kindness of Bierbauer and Hartman. In the second inning (rees retired the side on a fly to left, after Turner, Connor and Hartman had Bingled safely and were filling the bases. He struct out in the third when a single would have scored Hartman. In the sev- enth Crosse again failed to make good when evervthing depended upon him. Dowd, a fast man, was on third and Bierbauer on second, with two men out. Cross, the next batter, hit weakly to Pfeffer, and the game was lost. While hauling the luckless Cross over the coals, it might be well to say that his idiotic coaching cost St. Louis another run. Tle started Douglas, who is anything but a good slider, home on a catch by such an accurate thrower as Dahlen just back of second base. Douglas was touched out by Anson w'th ten feet to spare. Another bitof imbecility was exhibited by no less a personage than Dowd himself. He overestimatec Pop Anson's weak arm and attempted a double steal when Connor was on first with Turner at second. In conse- syenes “Anse” nailed Turner neatly at third, and Hartman followed with a safe one scoring Connor. Dowd was ‘‘too previous.”’ that was all. The Browns took kindly to Griffith and hit safely ten times. Hart was touched up for the same number but the hits were scat- tered. The error column contained five for the visitors and two for the Browns. And, just to think Anson walked off winner at 6 to 5! Horrible At the end of the seventh inning it began to rain and for an even eighteen minutes the water came down like it was poured out of a hogshead. Tome Was called, and the game resumed at theend of twenty minutes under artistic kicking from Anson. Darkness then necessitated the calling of the game at the end of the eighth inning. was amateurish in the Chicago third Rierbauer, who ob- It is being hinted that there is to be an infleld change on the Brown Stocking team in the next few days, and that Bierbaver will likely be supplanted by Sullivan, wéio will soon be in the city from Hot Springs. where he has been resevering from an lilness that has affected him all the winter. Sullivan is reported to be in splendid phy- sical condition, which is just the opposite from the shape Bierbauer is in, and “ rea- son of which his playing has been done under a heavy handicap ever since he Joined the team. Bierbauer was evidently sincere in his declaration not to play ball this year. His reasons for quitting the game were not, as maliciously reported, objections to play- ing under the local management, but he Was afraid that the fine business that he enjoyed in his moisture bazaar at Erie, Pa., would fall away. Hence the Teutonic second baseman with the South St. Louis name did not train a lick, and it is to allow him to get tn condition that it is proposed to let Sullivan relieve him for a short time. In this connection it is interesting know that Bierbauer received a_ letter Wednesday night from Erie which is likely to have great weight with him. In this communication he was advised that his business was suffering for want of his guiding hand and that his presence was an mperative necessity. He waa urged to Erie at once even if he had to jump the game for once and all tne. The letter was weitten by the clever second baseman’'s ao ee. and of course he will serve his bes nterests, 'e where they may. §Indica- ONE OF TWO WAYS. was created for one pur- The bladder pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine. and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways.

The womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if left alone it is not liable to become diseased, except in rare cases. When in position the womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconven- ience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

Oliver Patsey Tebeau, graduate of the lots of St. Louis, and his team of Indians, ball players, etc., arrived in the city Thurs- day morning. An entire page of the Lin- dell’s register was used in boking the 17 ayers and President Robison and Mrs. rebeau, who accompany them. The Cleveland team is in bad condition as far.as the men are concerned physical- Patsey recognizes this and he hustled team out to Von der Ahe’s campus y tn the forenoon and made them practice faithfully all morning. Tebeau was seen for a moment in the corridor “f the Ldndell as he was departing for the ark. “There is no chance for a new brother- hood or any other kind of an organizat:on among the ball players,’’ said he. “The last attempt of that kind was far too costly and none of the old players would think of going. up against the same game again. “The younger players could not get the backing to start the scheme, and it looks like all talk on the part of dissatisfied Chi- cago players who could not get any ad- vance money.”’ Tebeau said he had come to 8t. Louis determined to break the ice and get a move on himself and his men. “We want all four games,’’ he said, ‘‘and will take three anyhow.”’ BALTIMORE IS IN LINE. Chicago “‘Missionary’’ Work Has Ex- tended to the Champions’ Home. The brotherhood, union or association of the professional ball players appears to be growing in favor. The Chicago team are credited with being the instigators of the movement, and heretofore it was supposed that their efforts had been tonfined to per- sonal missionary work among the teams representing the various cities of the League which they had so far visited. Recent events, however, show that this is a mistake. Late issues of the Baltimore papers contain the information that the members of the or oe team have been the recipients of mail matter, explaining the objects of the proposed union together with the plan of organization and a fore- cast of the benefits expected to accrue to the ball player when the union is a fact accomplished. The Baltimore conception of the plan ts that it is to be more of a labor union than a brotherhood, and the Baltimore players have gradually expressed themselves in favor of the scheme in its general lines. The members of the Orioles have no griev- ances—the men themselves say that—hence it would naturally follow that if they are in favor of a close-bound association to protect themselves from future Clashes with the powers that be, the mem- bers of a team that has wrongs to right should join the movement to.a man.

With the New Purchases the System Now Has Four Suburban Feed- ers for Its City Lines. oe The Lindel] Railway Company sprung a Mew sensation in street railroad circles Wednesday afternoon by buying outright the Midland Plectric Railway and the Clay- ton & Delmar Railroad. This dash into St. Louis County railroad Interests comes as a sensational afterclap to their big purchase of the Missouri Rail- Way system. Brokers were asking each other Thursday when the big corporation was going to stop. Its command of capital seems to be un- limited. Talk of its absorption of the St. Louis & Suburban was freely bandied, The road is said to be on the market, If the Lindell can get it at a fair figure they have the money as well as the inclination to make it a part of thetr system. Its addition would put par as far as holdings went with thé im- mense Yerkes or Johnson syndicates, the former of which controls the Chicago and Philadciphia ratiways and the latter every 4treet cars in and about Cleveland. The Lind: road already owns a valua- ble bran into the county and uses the Hioutem.s Atr Line as a feeder. Its two @couisiiionsa will give it another route to the Lindell on a Ss " way end make the trip to Creve Coeur Lake at 5 cents. Property alon largely held by wil Ba. called on for a lding operations. ohe Selmar and Clayton road was bought by the Lindell to give them another ave- nue for traffic between St. Louis and Clayton. They now have a line connecting with their Delmar avenue branch at For- sythe Junction that enters Clayton from the south side. The Delmar and Clayton road was owned by Mr. C. C. Nicholls and the Greensfeld- ers. They built on only a small portion of their right of way, operating a line by mules from De Baliviere avenue west on Delmar, to the city limits. The Lindell will build the road out along Kingsbury boule- vard to Clayton. The Lindell now has two roads into Clay- ton and an air line through the finest resi- dence property in the county, direct to Creve Coeur Lake. Besides they practical- ly control the Houseman Air Line, which brings them traffic that used to go to the ‘Frisco and Missouri Pacific accommoda- tion service. And they have still another Suburban branch in contemplation, this time to clip the wings of their great rival, the Scullin system, By the purchase of the Missouri system the Lindell road got control of an entrance to Shaw's Garden and Tower Grove Park. They contemplate a road from the terminus of their Market street line at Tower Grove and Magnolia avenues along King’s highway and old Manchester road to the Watson road, thence through Gratiot and Lindenwood to Old Orchard. Mr. Scullin has been surveying a route from the terminus of his suburban branch at Arloe Station to Meramec Highlands, through Gratiot to Lindenwod. If the Lindell secures control of the Sub- urban, they will then have three branches in the southwestern suburbs, three due west from St. Louis and one in the north- western suburbs to Florissant. Wednesday's acquisitions will add sixty miles of track to the 81.74 miles they al- ready control, The price paid for the Midland Electric was not made public. The Delmar and Clayton franchise was purchased for $10,- 000. Mr. George Baumbhoff, superintendent of the Lindell, has had an option on it at that figure for some time. Formal transfer of the properties was made Thursday to the purchasing represen- tatives of the Lindell. The roads can not the Olive street road is t. Louis capitalists.

Another Heavy Rain in Missouri and the Danger Line Would Prob- ably Be Passed. The Mississippi will reach the top of the St.. Louis levee by Saturday afternoon. If no more rain falls throughout the State Thursday afternoon or night the water will not touch a higher point this rise, but if it does there is no telling how high the stream will boom. The gauge at St. Louis Thursday morning marked 28.7. The river is rising rapidly and the stage will be 30 feet by Friday after- noon. The day following it will be 30.5 or 30.6, the latter being the top notch of the levee here. These statements were telegraphed Thurs- day morning by. Local Observer Franken- field to the bureau in Washington, and he then sent out flood warnings to the Mayors of East St. Louis, Alton, Venice and Madi- son, and to property owners in North St. Lou's. Alton has been warned to expect a rise of two feet, and the other places that a 30.5 Stage is sure to be reached. This high water is coming out of the Mis- sourl, as was predicted in the Post-Dispatch Wednesday. There was a general heavy rain Wednesday afternoon and night over beer Missouri. At Springfield the pre- cipitation was 1.30 inches; at Boonville, 1.89, and at Bagnell 12. This has caused the Missouri to again rise rapidly east of Boon- ville.

There is talk now of the Lindell asking for a franchise west on Delmaf boulevard from Grand avenue. Their route to For- enue is circuitous. They would like it with their North Clayton branch. Mr. J. D. Houseman, builder of the House- man Air Line, and the pioneer electric rail- way builder in St. Louis County, said Thursday morning: ‘The entrance of the Lindell will build up the county wonder- fully, There will be more roads there be- fore long. The development is logical. There is one mistake, though, that is apt to be made. Most of these roads have rights of way along established roads and main arteries of traffic. It looks advan- tageous, but in the end it is detrimental. “The right of way over private property its the best. You can then make your own speed. What people in the county. want is rapid transit. They can’t get it too rapid. If a road runs along a busy thoroughfare it can’t make speed with one operating over A private right of way. That cendition will be real.zed some day in the development of St. Louis County.” Real estate agenta were in great glee over the Lindell’s latest purchase and the pros- ect of increased transportation facilities n the county. The situation opens up a new field for speculation. More than that, it brings the city and county a big step nearer ultimate consolidation with the greater St. Louis, a city ‘of over 1,000,000 in- labitants. a MRS. VAN DOORN’S RING.

The Mayor's warning was due to a message from Observer Franken- field of St. Louis, stating that the river willl reach a stage of W.6 feet by Saturday morning. The Martell House gauge shows Cahokia Creek to be about five inches lower than the crest of three weeks ago, and the river is rising at the rate of one-half an inch an hour, according to the record of Supt. Horner of the East Side Water-works. A reporter's visit to the National Stock Yards this morning developed the fact that the Cahokia is still confined to the banks at the lowest point, north of the sheep sheds, Swift & Co., who would be the first sufferers in case of an overfiow, do not an- ticipate much trouble from high water. “We can stand a rise of from five to six feet vet,”” said the general manager of the plant, “and think we can ward off all danger by a perfect system of private sew- ers and pumping apparatus.”’ Mayor Bader and Fire Chief Purdy exam- ined the city’s pumping works and found them in thorough workine order. The rall- road companies have promised to render all necessary assistance, and a bag firm has agreed to furnish 10,000 gunny sacks to be filled with dirt and placed along the banks of Cahokia Creek in case of emergency, with the promise of 5,000 sacks daily until the flood subsides, should it make the un- welcome visit “We are doing everything possible to meet the threatened calamity,” said Mayor Beder. The Mississippi is coming up with a boom at Alton, and the gauge shows a rise of aimost a foot in the last twenty-four hours. CELEBRATED.

There was quite a cyclone scare in sev- éral parts of St. Louis and East St. Louis Wednesday afternoon when the black clouds began to bank up in the northwest. The news of the cloudburst in Oklahoma was known and it had been noised about that the storm was headed this way. A nurnaber of persons sought cellars and other places where they believed themselves safe from any wind damage. . This scare Wednesday revealed to persons living along Jefferson avenue near the in- tersections by Olive street and Washington avenue that the colored people of the neigh- borhood have found a cyclone cellar of their own and hie themselves to it when- ever a storm seems to be brewing. Several times this spring negroes have disappeared from their haunts in the vicinity when the clouds gathered and Wednesday several of them were followed. It was learned that Aleck Theiss, a bootblack who has a stand near the Savoy, is the leader of the band who 6eek subterranean safety and he issues the warnings that cause them to scurry. The place they hide is in the underground passage at Uhrig’s Cave, and Wednesday afternoon at least a score of colored peo- ple were located there, shivering in the cold and waiting the word from Aleck Thieiss that they might venture forth in safety. HE HATES THE BOYDS. School Director Grawe Has His Battle Ax Poised. The time remaining to the School Board ring before newly elected directors super- sede them is apparently to be utilized in ae the schools of all employes named oyd. Dr. W. W. Boyd, ex-President of the Civic Federation, has more than once offended the members of the ring, and they attribute their failure to get places on the ticket in- dorsed by the Civic Federation and Repub- lican City Central Committee to his efforts. Hence they are hostile to every one bear- ing the name of Boyd. ecretary Player of the board was quietly conversing with School Director Sheehan Thursday morning when Director Grawe burst into Mr. Player's office. Mr. Grawe is Chairman of the Teachers’ Committee and one of the most influential members of the ring. “T want you to tell me is there anyone named Boyd employed by the Schoo! Board,”’ said Mr. Grawe. Mr. Player replied that there was no one of that name on the pay rolls that he re- called. He could not state off-hand. ‘*There’s only one,”’ put in Director Shee- han. ‘“‘There’s a Miss Boyd, a teacher in one of the schools. But she’s no relative of Dr. ashen She’s a daughter of Sam Vv 2 ovd. “T'll bet her job wouldn’t be worth a cent if she was related to Dr. Boyd,” put in another member of the party. Mr. Grawe looked fierce and glared at the intruder. ‘‘Let us be thankful for her sake that she isn't,”” he remarked. Then Mr. Grawe said he must see Supt. Soldan in order to secure official informa- tion on the subject, and hurried over to the Superintendent's. He returned in five minutes. Prof. Soldan was not in his office. “Are you sure about that Royd matter?” he inquired. “I want to be certain whether there are any Boyds employed by the board. “Three different persons told me this morning that there were several Boyds working for the School Board, and if there are I want to know it.”’ Mr. Grawe did not reveal who his infor- manta were, but made it plain that it would go hard with any Boyds he could reach, ‘DEAD AT 104, Charlotte Kelley, a Typical Southern Negress, Laid Away. The remains of Charlotte Kelley, a negress, 104 years of age, were interred Wednesday in Greenwood Cemetery. The deceased came to St. Louis from Louisiana seventeen years ago. She was born at Ra- leigh, N. C., and prior to e war was a slave in the family of Gen. Dunlap. The aged woman had nineteen children. It was her proud boast that she had seen several Presidents of the United States She believed she Was More than 104 vears old, and that she was born before the In- dependence. of the colonies was declared. However, her relatives have traced the records to the best of their ability, and they arrived at the conclusion that her age was 104 at the time of her death. The deceased Was a typical Southern negro. She lived with one of her daughters in the rear of 1622 Gay Street, which at that soint is simply an alley thickly inhabited ~ negroes. All of these looked upon the old woman with reverence that amounted to devotion, and a pall of mourning has settled, over Gay alley. The aged woman was in comparatively good health until a week ago, when she commenced to decline. She died Tuesday and the doctor attributed her death to old age. BY A WATERSPOUT.

Mr. Hinckley sets forth in his petition that he was at the time he stood for the election and is now in every way qualified to hold the office under the requirements of the laws governing the office tn question, He then sets up under eight different heads a variety of reasons why the office should be given to him instead of McMath. The usual routine is followed setting forth that in each precinct 100 ballots were counted for McMath which should not have been counted at all, as many more were not counted for Hinckley which should have been counted. Unregistered voters are charged with having voted and the judges are accused of counting ballots which had not been properly marked on the back or which were not rightly scratched by the voter.

NEW YORK, April 2.—A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: The engagement which the Spanish had with Gen. Roderiguez in the Purgatori Hills, and which was reported as a decisive Span- ish victory, turns out to have been the reverse. The Spanish columns encountered the insurgents and attacked them, relying on their superior forces. The rebels _re- treated toward their camp and succeeded in playing their old trick of drawing the Spanish in an ambuscade. Gen. Castillo arrived with reinforcements while Roderiguez was engaging the Spanish and fell on their flank. he fighting lasted five hours and in killed, wounded and pris- oners the Spanish lost 280 men. News comes from Santiago De Cuba that heaed by a priest and a prominent physician, have joined the in- surgents because they were dissatisfied with the conduct of the Spanish authori- ties and believed that Garcia would succeed in maintaining his supremacy in the e¢ast- ern province. The situation at Banes continues to com- mand attention. Four cruisers and several gunboats have been ordered there to lana a force to march on the port from the direc- tion of Holquin. The rebel force in and near Banes is estimated at 3,000, Gen. Weyler'.came quietly back to Ha- vana early yesterday morning, after a six weeks’ trip to Santa Clara, during which, if he accomplished anything from a military standpoint, the fact has been effectually concealed.

Local geon to mold the human form with no more pain to the patient than if he were a sculptor modeling ciay. P The story of all this is attractively told by the New York Journal, which narrates how a St. Louis lady recently underwent treatment for a corrugated nose, the wrinkles being in the bone and being any- thing but fascinating. The lady’s nose w4s speedily mude like other people’s and she departed for home with a good chance in the matrimonial market, which before this she had been compelled to shun. “Grandma,” said a shild, ironed?” It would be foolish for a grandma to have the wrinkles all smoothed out, but many a woman who has become prema- turely aged would be glad to be relieved of a few teil-tale furrows in the face.- The age of miracles is not past.

SILENT, WISE AND WICKED! DEATH OF CORONER WAIT’S RE- MAREKABLE PET. sd GOT HIS HURT IN BATTLE. But It Isn’t Certain That Blood Pois- oning Caused His Sudden and Dramatic Demise. When Deputy Coroner Gast opened his office yesterday Slupsky dropped dead. It was an easy, wavering fall. There was no wailing or weeping, no muttering and mighty little kicking. Slupsky is the name that was given to Dr. Wait's green parrot because of its nasal resemblance to the silk-stocking, dia- mond-bedecked reformer of public schools, Slupsky had repudiated his namesake, but acquaintances of both gaid there was a family resemblance, and the name stuck to the parrot from the time an aspiring poli- tician presented it and a wire cage to the Coroner, until the noble name was splashed on a white-washed headboard in the vacant lot back of Eddie Morrissey’s saloon. Deputy Gast avers that there was nothing unusual about his countenance that would induce Slupsky to slip his mortal grasp and attributes the demise of the bird to an incident which ocurred one night three weeks ago. The morning after that night, when the office was opened, it was found to be in a state of wild confusion. Some time pre- | vious to this the parrot’'s wings had been | chairs, anaesthetics make it possible for the sur- | “you have a nice kind face, but why don’t you have it | clipped, and it was given the freedom of the office. On this morning green feathers were scat- tered all over the floor, on tables and and there were splotches of blood on the Lnoleum. Slupsky was not near his cage. In a corner, under a heater, was found the horribly mutilated body of a rat. Under Dr. Rader’s desk was found Siupsky. He had slunk away there to recirperate after his battle to the death. He was a frightful wreck. The plumage of his proud tail was held firmly in the jaws of the dead rat and his bare skin was visible in many places. His beak was smeared with blood and his feet were stained crimson. A little hole on the tip of the left wing showed where the sharp teeth of the ro- dent had penetrated and from it trickled a stream of blood that clotted In the dis- mantied feathers of Slupsky’s chest. Slupsky was attended by Drs, Wait, Lloyd Rader, Nietert and Walfert, but despite all they could do blood poisoning siezed him and he went into rapid decline. After that Slupsky would not be moved from the apex of his cage. He sat there twenty-four hours in the day, making no sound and keeping a quiet watch on the office. Then Gast came in Wednesday and Slupsky dropped dead. Slupsky was a remarkable bird. He re- fused to be taught the English language. But he was petted and a coterie of wicked men undertook to teach him a vocabulary which most parrots use at embarrassing moments. Hut Slupsky declined to accumulate know'!- edge, contenting himself with a sublime emorannce of swear-words and the baser orld. Slupsky’s pugnacity rivaled that of the original Slupsky and. Strange to say, they ee ed the same enemies. One day Julius urzburger, Abe's pet aversion, entered the Coroner's office and the parrot almost had a fit. oqemee could Sranenet his Jo one cou touch Slupaky, the rro In safety. He had a bill tHat had Slerood half an inch of sole leather, had penctrated a tin seed box and had reduced to splinters many a hard wood perch. Slupsky had a destructive turn of mind. Before hie last iliness he could let nothing alone. When he got the new cage and had reduced it to bus ness. a mass of hopeless ruins he began en the ) oak perch. After that he acquired an ap- petite for oak perches and was soon unable to resist the temptation of swallowing the splinters. Siupsky played no favorites. He loved no y and hated de ae yk Secretary Steinbiss oF ine srages one ot P ngen a bly attempt © pet Slupsky som e ago and Blupsky Guried his beak in the labor He had to be caged before Wurs. ner Gast’s fingers is shorter than it really ought to be because of the carnivorous pro- clivities of aoene. Wednesday Dr. ietert held an paren: 4 on the carcass of Slupsky and report to the Coroner that the cause of death was a as og r. Wait, asisted by Deputies Lioyd and Gast and Dr. der, held an inquest over the body and returned a verdict to the effect that death had followed upon seeing Gast the first thing in the morning. Slupsk as packed away in a shoe box janitor, buried the Four Courts rrissey’s. When the dirt had been thrown In on the coffin and a neat mound had been rounded over the heap, a six-inch plank was driven in at the head of the grave, then white- washed, and on it was painted in black this inscription: SLUPSKY. The Silent! The Wise! He fought the fight and died. Friend of No Man. But that was not the last and peaceful rest of Slupsky. During the afternoon body- snatchers visited the grave, disinterred the corpse and after plucking the plumage threw the body into Morrissey’s wood shed. Dr. Wait thinks he is aware of the identity of the body-snatchers as an effort was made late Wednesday ot Aganr | to Ctopeee of green feathers at a small millinery store on Four- teenth street.

A Chicago Saloonkeeper Shot by Would-be Robbers. CHICAGO, April 29.—Emil Solhern, a sa- loonkeeper at 197 Wells street, was shot and instantly killed just before midnight last night by ene of three men who entered the saloon for the purpose of robbery. Twenty men were in the place at the time drinking, but none of them made any ef- fort to capture the robbers or offer resist- ance, and the murderer and his compan- fons escaped. Solhern was shot down with- out a moment’s warning, and as he had offered no resistance to the men it was 4t first thought the shooting was the result of a grudge or previous quarrel, Later It was learned that the men entered the place for the purpose of robbery,‘and, finding that Sothern intended to offer resistance, one of them drew his revolver and fired at the saloonkeeper’s head. The bullet entered Solhern’s right eye and pierced his brain, and he died without speaking a word. The murderers had made good their escape. Ruffianism at Ann Arbor. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 9.—A repeti- tion of the riotous proceedings of three weeks since, when nn Arbor freshmen were kidnapped, treated to hair-trimming, and the girl folks despoiled of their Sunday- go-to-meeting clothes and otherwise made to realize the hard lot of freshmen, ts looked for to-night, when the other faction of the freshman class holds its banquet. In this affair the regular class officers and mem- bers of the fraternity who were not counted in at the previous banquet will take part. A cordon of police will be drawn around Grangers’ Hall to afford protection, but ihe “rushes” will commence far away from this locality, and the probabilities are that the freshmen and their sister students may en- counter some rough treatment before, if at all, they reach the banqueting board.

The Federal Army Scandal Develops Many Curious Facts. FORT M’PHERSON, Ga., April 29.—The testimony of Lieut. O’Brien in the court- martial case against Capt. Romeyn, now in progress, proved as favorable for one side as the other, as he gave plausible reasons for every alleged act of aggression against his superior officer, neglect of his wife and toleration of the attentions of a brother officer. Capt. Romeyn was allowed to retract an epithet applied by him yesterday to Lieut. O’Brien,’ saying it had been used in the heat of passion. Lieut, O’Brien testified that he did not know at the time he used provoking lan- guage on the parade ground against his supericr officer that it was in violation of an article of war. He made the statement that he adopted the most expedient man- ner of bringing the matter to the attention of the post commander and securing a set- tlement inside of the regiment. He had not made direct complaint to Col. Kellogg, then commandant,Jas the intimacy of the latter with Capt. omeyn was so great that he feared the charges would be pigeon-holed. Fie had no desire to provoke a quarrel, and did not believe that his words would be resented by Capt. Romeyn. He was positive that Capt. Romeyn struck him with his right hand, clinched, on the left side of the face. He stated that he had not been cut. by Mrs. Col. Kellogg, and that it was at his own request that Lieut. Bamford went bicy- cling with Mrs. O’Brien and took her to the theater. He ‘had heard of no engagement with Miss Romeyn, but had remonstrated with Lieut. Bamford for paying such de- voted attention to her when ngne existed. He understood from Mrs. Rom@n that her daughter and Lieut. Bamford thought of ek og and that subsequently the engage- ment had been announced by’ Miss Romeyn without authority from Lieut. Bamford. He not object to his wife’s re- ceiving attention from other officers. HIVES ARE BUZZING. Ladies of the Maccabees Find They Have No Charter. Specia) to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 29.—Representatives of the ninety State hives of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World are in conference here to-day with the view of determining, to quote one of the members, ‘just where they are at.” The Ladies” Auxillary to the Knights of the Maccabees was organized some years since under the auspices of the latter, and ever since the womeén have been turning in $2,500 or more a month to the Supreme Hive at Port Huron, Mich: A few days ago, however, the discovery was made that the women had no charter to do busi- ness as a beneficial society either in this State or Michigan, and that consequently they entirely lacked the protection of the State and could not recover the deposits of years in the event of an officer’s defaulting and going to Canada or elsewhere with the funds. The Knights claim that the wo- men’s beneficial branch has been working under the original charter granted to the male element, but on the other hand it ig contended that this is altogether illegal.

Grand-Jury Is Examining Banker’s Affairs. CHICAGO, IL, April 29.—The Grand-jury began investigating the affairs of Charies W. Spalding and of the Globe Savings Bank, of which he was President. Miss 8S. Louise Ervin, infatuation for whom is said to be one of the principal causes for the wreck of Banker Spalding’s home and business, was the sensational witness of the day. She displayed remark- able ignorance concerning business deals in which she gained property worth thou- sands, bought for her by Mr. Spalding. She impressed it on the jury that she was not Spalding’s stenographer, but was employed by him to compiie the Spalding genealogy. She was not paid a.salary, but when she wanted money she just helped herself out of a.certain strong box in Spaiding’s bank that was alWays well supplied. Miss Ervin told the jursmen she turned over $60,000 worth of property to the receiver of the bank to save Mr. Spalding from the pen- itentiary. Although Miss Ervin had the ti- tle to 960 acres of land in Idaho, worth §$25,- 000, she did not know how much she paid for it or where the land was. She only knew Mr. Spalding bought it for - her. Among the property she turned over to the receiver were a number of lots in Chicago suburban property, but she was equaily hazy how she acquired title to them, Mr. Spalding attending to all such details. In addition to Miss Ervin, other witnesses testified to the bank’s receiving deposits when it was known to be insolvent. F. Stone, President of the Depositors’ Asso- ciation’ urged the indictment of all the of- ficers of the bank, including the Board of Directors, under that section of the stat- ute which holds it prima facie evidence of intention to defraud when deposits are re- ceived within thirty days of the closing of the bank. He also urged the indictment of men who borrowed over 10 per cent of the stock. in which Hst he places ex- Gov. Altgeld, C. J. Ford, John Howe and A. B. Camp. That Spalding will be indicted on the charge of embezziement for receiving deposits within thirty days of the bank's failure, as well as on that of doing away with the university endowment, is foregone.

IN THE TOIL. “WILLIE GREEN” AND OTHERS TO BE PROSECUTED. A REFEREE IN HARD LUCK. “Pinched” by Detectives and Punched by a Man Who Claimed to Have Been Swindled. Warrants have been issued against George e. Garrett, alias Willie Green, Brownlaw Sexton, Jack Wilkes, Bob Douglass, George Pierce and Rufus Sharp for prize fighting. Douglass, Wilkes, Sexton and Pierce are still] locked up in the First District hold- over. George FE. Garrett, alias Willie Green, the referee, stakeholder and general manager of the whole show, was arrested Wednesday night and released at 3 a. m, Thursday on his own recognizance to report at 10 o'clock to answer any charges that might be brought against him. The fight was pulled off at Walsh's hand- ball court, Eleventh and Branch streets, Wednesday night and from a pugilistic Standpoint was a great success. There was a purse of $350 in the hands of Willie Green and the fight was to be a fin- ish between Douglass and Pierce. Pight rounds were fought and Pierce was count- ed out by Referee Green, who awarded the fight to Douglass. The money was not paid over to the win- ner of the fight, because just at that @>int Detectives Lee, Killian and Joe Hatton informed the referee, the principals and the seconds that they were under arrest. Then there was a push and a scramble to get away. The detectives stuck to the principals as being the most important ones to arrest. They simply told the otlfers 10 consider thenrseltves prisoners, which most of them did in a most proper and gentiemaniy way. Rufus Sharp and an- other second named Flaherty were excep- tions, They got out as fast they could put, The spectators were not arrested nor dis- turbdd by the two detectives, who figured that they had as much as they could handle with the principals. Douglass and Pierce went to the dressing room accompanied by Killian and Hatton and put some clothes on over their fight- ing costumes so0 as not to catch cold on the way to the holdover. While the officers were absent Cc. W. Kapell, who had backed Pierce, charged the referee with having counted too fast when Pierce was down and counting him ut unfairly. A few words passed ahd then apell sailed into the referee and had an- otner good fight going when the bystanders amper tered. i llie Green head received several good punches in the encounter and those who @aw it say that Kapell would have had him thoroughly whipped in a minute or two more. Douglass and Pierce were taken to the Fifth District Station and then forwarded to the Four Courts. Green and V'ilkes started down town together, and at Tenth and St. Charles streets were met by Chief Desmond, who had been notified of the fight by telephone. He told them Chief Kiely was very anxious to sea them immediately, and would feel slighted if they did not call, e referee and the second accompanied Chief Desmond to the Four Courts. Wilkes was sent down stairs and locked up in the holdover with Pierce and Douglass. Sexton was brought in later on and shared the game fate as the rest. Willle Green remained in Chief Kiely’s office until 3 o’clock in the morring, and ucceeded in satisfying the night chief that t would not be consistent with his dignity as city editor of an afternoon paper to be locked up. He was release? on: his promise ‘to: re- port at 10 o’clock to answer any charge that might be brought. Detectives Hatton and Killlan agree that @s a prize fight it was a very pretty contest, and although Pieree got the worst of it he showed that he was a very good prize- fighter. ‘It made a hetter casé to let them fight a little.”” said Detective Killlan, ‘because we could get a line on who was in it and who was not. If we had stopped it right off everybody would have denied being in it and we could have done nothing with them.” Chief Harrigan when asked what was go- ing to be done, said rather sarcastically: ‘We will get out warrants for prize- fighting and then they will be turned loose upstairs.” At 10 o'clock Detective Killian applied to Col. Dick Johnson for a warrant for all the principals and the referee. (“o). Diek Johnson after hearing Detective Killians’ statement said he did not think that the officers had quite information enough to make a case. “Was a challenge issued? Have you the articles of agreement?’ “No, but Pierce came up all the way from Hot Springs to fight Douglass.”’ “Hiow do you know tt was a prize fight?’’ “Willie Green had $33 in dollar bills, and one of the backers who had put up money on Pierce took a punch at Willie Green claiming he was done out of his money." “Well that is different. If you can show that, it puts a different phase on the case. If you can show that the money was actually up and they were fighting for it that makes @ different case." Col. Johnson sent down to Judge Mur- Phy'’s court to get the records of a previous case to see what ruling Judge Murphy had Mmade on that case. Owing to Judge Murphy's pecullar style of ruling it is hard to tel] whether a war- fant can be made to etick or not in cases of this kind. It may be, however, that Judge Murphy will make it warm for Willie Green because of the fact that he tse connected with a newspaper for which Judge Murphy has an Soporte: aversion, ufus Sharp, the colored fighter, was at saree vB nag Snureday. but the police Te arening for him } . him before the day was aoe. Bapes @ get The crowd which was in attendance was RHEUMATISM WAS~ | HIS GOOD FRIEND, CAUSED W. J. DEBOE TO BE ELECTED U. 8. SENATOR, FORMERLY A VILLAGE DOCTOR. Kentucky’s New Senator Was Forced Into Law and Politics by a Painful Ailment. “The election of W. J. Deboe of Ken-’' tucky to the United States Senate is a notable incident in the political history of this country,” said Archer Anderson, sec- retary of the Desnoyers Shoe Co. Mr, An- derson has just returned from a trip to Marion, a county seat town in the Western part of the Blue Grass State. Marion is the home of Senator Deboe, While in Kentucky Mr. Anderson had opportunity to see the inside of the Senatorial situation there. “The little town of Marion is all agog over the triumph of Deboe,”’ Mr. Anderson said. ens election to the Senate is remarkable rom the fact that unti] about half a dozen years ago he was known only as a country doctor. He is a good man from & personal pndpoint and has many friends, yet no- dy ever dreamed that he would ever be rent Ae occupy a seat in the United States The story of Senator Deboe as related by en, is replete with interest from D ns to end. Five or six years ago Hy Jenoe was attacked by rheumatism. owas confined to his home for a long . ®. He abandoned the medical profes- on While ern me from his illness, i. ater studied law. He was then near- iY y. years of age, but he entered into © undertaking with energy and applied himself so diligently that he was admitted to the bar. He formed a partnership with W. Blue, Jr., a bright young Jawyer. This partnership is sti in effect under the firm name of lue & Deboe. From the welll pape was an easy etep for the > s or, 4 - portunity. and he improved the op When the Democrats puf up a very un- opular man for the State A. a the larion district, Deboe. who was the Re- publican candidate, had a walkover. Noth- ing wrong could be found with his record in the State Senate, and by diplomatic fence-building Deboe political stock took a decidedly upward shoot. Senator Deboe was in St. Louls last summer as a dele- gate to the Republican national conven- tion and had much to do with the Western Kentucky end of the proceedings. This, of course, gave him much prominence, yet It did not ocur to anyone—probably not to Deboe himself—that he would ever be the recipient of higher political honors. From village doctor to State Senator and delegate to a national convention was con- sidered a remarkable jump. But a still more remarkable development was to come. State Senator Deboe found his way into higher politics, and to the immense sur- prise of everybody, won a seat in the United States Senate. “Fiow did this come about?” Mr. Ander- s0n was asked. “That is something which I cannot ex- Plain,”” Mr. Anderson replied, “but it ap- pears to me to be simply a lucky turn of the political fortune wheel. There is no- body who doubts that Senator Deboe will faithfully and honestly represent his con- Blituents. He is a conscientious and moral man, and is a pillar in one of the best churches im the little town of Marion. I Was there several days attending to some business for our firm, and having consid- erable lelsure time, I learned much about the new Senator. His law partner, Mr. Blue, is a Rryan Democrat, and one of the most faithful bimetallists in the Blue Grass tate. He is a good lawyer and undoubted- ly has a bright future before him.” Speaking of the town of Marion, Mr. An- derson described it as a very ordinary coun. try village of perhaps a 1 eer poputa- tion. “The little law office of Blue & Dehoe does not look much like a place from which United States Senators come,” said Mr. An- derson, “and around the hotel where I stayed the county politicians dropped in to talk of Deboe's remarkable rise. Fae thing to his credit is that the townspeople were practically united in congratulations on ac- count of his election. Of course the Demo- crats would prefer a Senator of their own olitical faith, yet accepting the situation n a philosophical way, they are glad that Deboe has been honored, since the mantle of greatness had to be thrown upon a Re- publican.”’ Mr. Anderson stays that but for the at- tack of rheumatism suffered by Senator Deboe he would doubtless still be practic- ing medicine, as he had been for many years prior to his sickness. That rheumatic at- tack proved to be the turning point in his career, for it led Dr. Deboe to forsake his pill bags for Blackstone. As a,doctor he ranked well, but his practice was necessa- rily limited to the narrow confines of his Crittenden County territory, surrounding the little town of Marion. It is doubtful if Dr. Deboe ever had an income of more than $1,000 per year during his career as a physician. The villagers at his home are wondering now what he will do with his salary of $8,000 per year. VICIOUS YOUNG ITALIAN. Cuts and Seriously Wounds a Boy Younger Than Himself. Harry Grossman, 9 years old, of 1023 North: Ninth street, was cut in the side by an Ital- ian boy about 14 years old at Broadway and Morgan street at 10:0¥ o’clock Thurs- day.

He refused to go and the Italian snatched a knife from his stand and “Yunning to the Grossman boy slashed him tn the gide, then dropped the knife and ran down Morgan street to Sixth street.

A Building That Has Sheltered Revel- ers, Artists, Criminals, Mission- aries and the Police. WIL In another month the Second District Police Court will move to its new quar- ters at Jefferson avenue and Dayton street. The dingy old building at Broadway and Riddle street will be remodeled, and a land- mark will be no more. The property is owned by the J. T. Dono- van Real Estate Co. After an occupancy of 2 years the city will vacate rather than pay the $300 additional rent asked. Although badly out of repair the place cannot be said to be in a dangerous condl- tion. It wart over the needed improvements the hitch occurred. At an annual rental of $900 per annum, the city was supposed to do all repairing. This it failed to do, but instead appealed to the owners, Mr. Donovan stated there was no agreement that the owners should repair, but if the city would pay $1,200 per annum he would keep the building in good shape. This prop- osition brought on a wave of economy at the City Hall. It was decided to save this rental and utilize the hall at the Fourth District Sub-Station. The change will be made about June 1. The property on which the Biddle street building stands was formerly a portion of the Mullanphy estate. It fell to the heirs of Gen. William 8. Harney, who married a Mullanphy. From the Harneys it came in- to the possession of the present owner. Just at the close of the war several mem- bers of the Harney family conceived the idea of a market-house on Biddle street, Mear the river. The scheme was properly indorsed and a building erected. The Har- ney market extended from the west side of the present police court house east, across Broadway, well into Third street. Strange to say, after the market had been com- pleted enthusiasm for the project fell to such low ebb that not more than half a dozen hucksters are known to have exposed their wares on the premises. After a week Or two these deserted, and for a year or two the building was unoccupled. Broadway and Third street were then pushed through, dividing the property. The east portion was subsequently sold and the city built the Round op Market on the Third street and Broadway wedge. Some siight architectural changes were made inthe Harney building and it was leased to the Mozart Society, and known thereafter as the Mozart Hall. . It was in this ‘epoch, stretching from ’68 to ‘74, the building got its neme and fame. Here it was men from the river front. flush with pay, caroused with gaudily bedecked women aid girls. Old Green street, now Lu- cas avenue, was then in its prime, and ‘‘so- clety’’ from its vicinity almost nightly crowded the hall. Biddle street for blocks Would be choked with hacks, while the cab- bies would he inside refreshing themselves at Jo Henry's bar, where the Marshal's of- fice how is, or mixing with the dancers on the floor jreen stre@t society was not very exclu. sive those days, but the line was drawn on certain European nations and invasions by representatives of those races caused much blood to be spilled about the corner. When the old Canterbury Theater at Sixth Btreet and Lucas avenue would close for the evening, the fun would begin at the Mo- zart. There were such sporting characters as Peie Burns, Patsey Curtin, English Tom Fiyer and Johnny Parker—all men with na- tional reputations. The female contingent Was Ijttle less notable. Ella and Marvy Rob- erts Were known in every city west of the Ohio river as the smoothest pickpockets in the business; Big Moll, the Green street tigress, carried consternation to the hearts of all she frowned upon: muscular Annie Rarrett exhibited her prowess time and again by putting out the male toughs of her neighborhood; and Mary Flaherty would give two burly policemen all the trouble they wanted. It was when these choice spirits got be- neath one roof that Capt. O'Connor, com- manding the Third District, would put on an extra detail, for a fight followed the dance as surely as day ended the night. on one of these occasions Patrolmen W'ndler and McQuinn endeavored to quell a disturbance. They were sent to the hos- pital. Word was sent to headquarters that Green street was taking North St. Louis. Patrolmen Peter Joyce and Victor Cole were Bent to the ;cene. Another .wagon load went to the hospital, but this time it was not the police. When dancing grew tiresome the pro- gramme of entertainment would be changed to boxing bouts. They were called sparring matches, but in reality the fighters were not allowed to leave the ring until some one Was out. The names of well known fistic ‘heroes who have battled within those walls would rake a long Ist. Probably the most re- nowned were Ned O. Baldwin, Joe Coburn, Jem Mace, Tom Allen, Aaron Jones, Mike MeCoole, Dublin (Hastings) Tricks and Charley Gallaher. After the riotous times the old hall set- tled down to a more peaceful existence The dances and prizefights gave way to church missions and mission schools. These were abandoned in 1875, and for two years the place was deserted. In 1877 the city rented it for a police court, and it has been in continuous use ever since. During the twenty years probably every noted criminal who ever came West or was reared on Mis- uri soll has faced that bar of justice. Certainly In late years few have escaped e bench in this time has been aced by Judges Dennison, White, McCaffrey, An- Gerson, Pollard, Paxton and Btevengon. e Third District Police Station was tem- porarily located in the basement during 1868. EVANGELISM IN MAY. Christian Workers Are to Fight the Devil Down Town. The month of May promises much for evangelistic work in St. Louls. Three. large meetings are echeduled, and all con- fiict more or less. Next Sunday at the Olympic Theater will begin a series of Helping Hand Sunday af- ternoon meetings, to continue throu month. They will be conducted by “- Curtis of this clty and Robert Read of Chi- page. The Moody echo meetings will be held in the Century Theater, instead of the Fourteenth Street. Rev. Dr. Mathews will preach the sermon at 8 p. m. On the same ay the Christian tent meetings will begin at Windsor place. Arrangements have been made to accommodate $,000 persons.

S138 ; ee ee ee DIVORCES HARD TO GET. Judge Talty With Weary Couples. Judge John A. Talty, presiding over Di- vision No. 8 of the Circuit Court, proposes to be very strict and careful in the matter of granting, divorces. He says he will not give divorces for the asking, just because they are contrived and arranged 60 as to come within the statutes. In a written opinion Wednesday Judge Talty lectured one couple, refused them the divorce they asked and advised,.them to re- turn home and be good. A second bill he rejected on the theo that the reasons given were not sufficien Wednesday afternoon the suit of Mag- dalena Theoboldt against George Theovolat was up before him for hearing. The hus- band had entered no defense and the case was being tried solely on the side of the plaintiff. Soon after Mrs. Theoboldt got on the stand the Judge asked: e “Have you been divorced from this man before?”’ “Yes, sir.’’ “On what grounds?’ “The same as now. He was a drunkard | and would not support me.”’ “Why did you marry him again?’ “He promised to reform, 30 I just went and got married to him again.” “You knew his habits and his faults, when you married him the second time.” “Ves ’* “And knew that he had not reformed?” “Yes, but he promised to do it.” “And never kept his promise?” “He did not.”’ The woman, when asked when she left her husband the last time, said it was nearly three years, and then it deyeloped that she did not leave him at all, but told him that if he did not get out of the house immediately she would pack up and leave. So he got out. The court hear all the tes- timony from the side of the wife and then said he would reserve his @ecision uniil he could etudy over the case more carefully. Reception to Mrs. Lake. Mrs. O. R. Lake, president of the Catholic Woman's Temperance Union was tendered a reception Wednesday evening at St. Jon ~ School Hall. Sixteenth and Walnut streets, The occasion was the seventh anniversary of the lady’s marriage and the o portunity of manifesting appreciation for Mrs. Lake's work was embraced by man friends out- side of the organization and clergy.
