GHARGED WITH THE EMBEZZLE- MENT OF $15,000 OF GOV- ERNMENT FUNDS. His Brother, General Manager of the Grand Trunk Railroad, Made Restitution. WNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTOR- NEY CLOPTON SAYS THIS WILL NOT PREVENT PROSECUTION. Accused Afflicted With Heart Disease and May Not Live to Stand Trial. Hias Been Cashier of the Post-Office Eighteen Years, and Nothing Was Suspected Until the Washington Clerks Discovered an Error in a Balance Sheet. David H. Hays, for eighteen years cashier of the St. Louis Post-office, was arrested Friday morning, charged with the embezz- glement of $15,003.34. The information. was sworn to by In- spector Joe Johnston of the St. Louis divi- gion. Mr. Hays was arraigned before United States Commissioner James Craig at 11 o'clock. With him was his attorney, Fred Lehman, and his brother, C. M. Hays, General Manager of the Grand Trunk Raill- way, formerly General Manager of the Wa- bash. The accused, by his attorney, waived ex- amination and was held to the Federal Grand-jury in the sum of $3,000. He at once left the Commissioner's office and went to his home in Webster. The prisoner was accompanied to the Federal bullding by his physician. He is in extremely delicate health, being afflicted with heart trouble, and the doctor said he feared his patient might never be able to stand trial. The shortage has been made good. The full amount, $15,003.34, was paid into the cashier's office Thursday night by C. M. Hays, brother of the accused, who con- tributed the entire sum fsom his own for- tune, in order that those who appeared on his brothers’ bond might not suffer from the defalcation. As announced exclusively in the Post- Dispatch Thursday, the examination of the books at the Post-office was completed Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. Cc. M. Hays had been in close touch with the officials and he was notified at once that @ shortage had been discovered and was told the amount. He asked that the cashier’s office be held open later than usual, that he might make restitution. This was agreed to. by the in- spectors and by Postmaster Carlisle, and at 7 o'clock the manager of the Grand Trunk handed the entire amount over the counter and obtained @ receipt therefor. It had been the intention to arrest Mr. Hays Thursday night, but this prompt act of restitution caused the Bt. Louis officers to delay action. The cashier had been under surveillance Bince Sunday, and they knew it would be impossible for him to escape, even should he 80 wish. Full particulars were telegraphed to “Washington, and the reply was received Friday morning. It was to the effect that the prosecution should be proceeded with as if no restitution had been made. At 8 o’clock Inspector Johnston appeared before Commissioner Gray and swore to @n information, the first paragraph of which reads: Joe P, Johnston, Post-office Inspector, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he has §00d reason to believe, and does really believe, that on or about the Mth Gay of April, 1897, at said division of er'd one David H. Hays, being | Cashier of the Post-of- of the United States, at St. Louls, by virtue of the laws pe Cor pr = t es $15,003.34, the denomination and exact de- scription of which moneys to this aff‘ant unknown, of the value of $15,003.34, and of the moneys of the United States, con- trary to the form of the statutes of the United States, in such case made and provided, and against its peace and dig- nity. A warrant was then issued by the Com- missioner, charging embezzlement. Mr. Hays, who was technically under arrest, was brought Into court and the proceedings above described took place. The ex-cashier was quit~ pale and very nervous. He leaned heav:iy on the arm of his attorney and when -‘he bail bond had been signed he hurriec out of the building and was driven away-in a carriage. Inspector Johnston," who made the exami- nation and caused .the arrest, had this to say Friday noon: > “Tt Is impossib] 4 for me to say how long a period the defal:$tion covers. The examinua- tion of the bosxs was commenced Monday morning. It res in fact a supplemental ex- amination t= the regular one made on March 15, ars was ordered by the Washing- ton officials \ “The exnination made By us in March did not #veal any crookedness, but the moment Sur gtatement reached Washing- ton, the “\iscovery was made that an error existed re) the postal account of the cash- fer’s ofifce. Two accounts are kept in this departr#ent—the money order and the postal.> The latter covers all stamps, en- velopeg, etc., in fact, all supplies. “Th@ reason the shortage was not dis- cove 24 by our office is because we have no mearé of checking the supplies forwarded frors, Washington, other than comparison with the receipts here, which, of course, couP\ be doctored. “#3 soon as we were notified by Wash- ing &n, I put Inspectors George M. Sutton, Joie B. Sullivan and William Reed at woAk on the books and took charge of the cabnier’s office. “’ asked Mr. Hays if he could explain the slrtage, and he said he could not, that he wis innocent of any wrong-doing. *\He then said that as he was under sus- pfion, perhaps he had better turn over the ai‘airs of his office until the examination si\ould be completed. ‘He applied for a leave of absence, which was granted by Postmaster Carlisle, and “ent to his home in Webster, where he rm nained until to-day. “However, it is no mistake that he is a ¥Yry sick man. “On Wednesday it became apparent to Un that there was a shortage and a big o.e.

HONDURAS REVOLUTION. Warships Wanted to Protect Ameri- cans and Englishmen. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 30.—Advices from Hon- duras via New Orleans are to the effect that the situation there in consequence of the revolution is growing critical. The Acting British Consul has wired to Jamaica for an English man-of-war, and the American Consul has also written for a gunboat to protect Americans. The revolutionists have ordered all arms surrendered to them and will punish all persons opposing them as gullty of treason, They have succeeded in capturing Omoa. Soto has been proclaimed President, but has not yet reached the country, although he is expected shortly. Foreigners have not been molested except Americans employed on the railroads, who have been compelled to do the bidding of the revolutionists, but ft fs feared that in case the government troops march on Puer- to Cortez the lives and property of for- eigners will be in danget. _ — — For Minister to Spain.

CARTERVILLE, IIL, April 30.—At 3:30 this morning the citizens of this city were awakened by the cry of fire. Only a glance was needed to show that the north part of the business end of the city was doomed. Water was scarce, but some of the best fire fighting took place and it was only through the most herculean efforts that the fire was got under control. The wind was blowing hard, which made it hard to con- tend with. The families of Simon Simons and J. O'Neil had narrow escapes from be- ing burned in their beds. Here are a few of the losses sustained: Ellis Store Co., $21,000; Walker Bros., $20,000; Simon Simons, $400; J. Thompson, $3,000; Jonathan Price, $3,000; C. W. Gargus, $3,000; Frank Bel- ford, $3,000; H. Phillips, $2,000. On _ the ubove losses the insurance will be about one-half, but as bdDuildings are scarce the loss of business will amount to a great sum. A great number of smaller losses will cause the fire to foot up a total of about $75,000. The work of rebuild! will com- mence at once. Several people were in- jured, but none badly. FICTITIOUS PUPILS. Frauds Alleged to Have Been Prac- ticed in Kentucky. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COVINGTON, Ky., April ».—State Super- intendent Davidson says that 100,000 ficti- tious pupils were enrolled in the census in Loulsville, Lexington, Covington and other towns last year.

How long it has been going on is not known, Mr. Davidson has ordered the census to be taken again. The money is believed to have | been used in the schools of these cities, NO-HOPE FOR DUNLOP.

One of Them Weakened After Hearing a Church Song. CHICAGO, April 3.—A song rendered by the choir in the church at Chicago avenue and Ada street two weeks ago was re- sponsible for the capture of four members of the desperate Welr gang by the police last night. As the church was filled with the song, “Where Is My Wanderi To-night,” Fred Drenkeson, one o the members of the gang, bowed his head in sorrow. That song marke‘ a turning point in the young man’s life and to-day he is a pores prisoner, and it is said will be given is freedom for assisting in breaking wu one of the most dangerous gangs of crimi- nals that ever operated in this city. Prop- erty worth many thousands of dollars has been stolen and the police have twenty- eight charges against the members of t gang.

Two battalions Turkish infantry are guarding the railroad station of Larissa, where are found the re- mains of the hospital stores which were left by the Greeks at the last moment. The in- habitants of Larissa say the Greeks seized all the horses and carriages. The newspa- per men fled on foot. Many amusing scenes were witnessed in Larissa this morning. I met an ugly Turk- ish soldier, sunburned and dusty, solemnly parading the streets under a lady‘s parasol, which he had picked up In the road. Looting is strictly forbidden. The Turkish authorities in this matter are severe. Some of the Evzones still remain hidden and the same is the case with some of the Greek officers.

LONDON, April 30.—All the talk now, gays the Daily Mail's Berlin correspondent, is of the intervention of the powers. Even Germany wishes to save Greece from the consequences of defeat, and it is said in Berlin official circles that the powers will intervene of their own initiative if Greece Goes not invite them. According to a dispatch from Constanti- nople to the Lokal Anzeiger, the Sultan will accept the following conditions as the basis for peace: The withdrawal the Greek troops from Crete and the re-establishment of the frontier of 1831, Greece to be ex- cluded from all the advantages of capitula- tions and to pay indemnity. The Rome correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says it is asserted at the Italian foreign office that Greece has privately ad- dressed France, England and Russia for the urpose of invoking their mediation be- ween her and Turkey. Mr. Henry Norman, the Daily Chronicle's correspondent at Athens, says: “IT have the very best reason to believe that Greece is now disposed to recall ber forces from Epirus and even to evacuate the island of Crete. Two hundred thousand Women and children are homeless and destitute in Thessaly and the Government is unable to relieve their needs.”’ BERLIN, April 30.—The Frankfort Zeltung publishes 2 dispatch from Constantinople, Saying that, owing to the Greek Foreign Minister having made the request to the Russian Minister at Athens, the Ambassa- dors of Great Britain, France and Russia at Constantinople have asked the Turkish Government to grant to Greece an armistice.

Foreign Admirals Stop Short of Starv- ing the Cretans. LONDON, April 30.—A dispatch to the Times from Canea says that the Admirals of the international fieet visited the in- eurgents at Akrotiri and had a prolonged Admiral Cane- varo informed them of the fall of Larissa and the retreat of the Greek army. They were greatly moved and asked to be allowed to go to Greece to fight for King George. The Admirals then announced their in- tention to relax the blockade, which, they said, was not intended to starve the island into submission. They assured the insur- gents that they would be permitted to come into the town, provided they come unarmed, to purchase anything they might need, and, moreover, that they would be furnished an escort to guard. them against any fear of Mugsulman attacks. 4 / Volunteers From Egypt. g ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, April 20.—Four undred Greek volunteers sailed to-day for Athens and a thousand more will leave for ~ ee capital to-morrow by special LOST HER DIAMONDS.

The river at St. Louis will reach about 30.5 feet Saturday morning and will then remain nearly stationary for a day or two. The Missouri will fall slowly. The Upper Mississippi will fall, except from Clarksville south, where a further slight rise will occur to-day. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 30.—The river is 19.4 feet. but the highest water !s still far off and the engineers predict that from twenty to twenty-one feet will be reached. There was a third break in the Buras levee, near the Gulf, but all are being leisurely closed. Up at Bayou Des Glarzes, tn the Atchafa+ lava district, there were two smal! breaks. but they were closed with wonderful rapidity. These were the only real openings in the levee line, But there were other events more serious. The levee in front of the telegraph office at Bouldsboro, the Texas & Pacific terminal across the river, sloughed and cracked and looked as if it would not last another day. The railroad force went to work at once, bullt a wooden breakwater in front and filled in behind, and by night it was com- paratively safe. But the place is not solid and work will be resumed to-day. A crov- asse there would inundate the three towns of Gretna, Gouldsboro and Algiers. The residents not only helped yesterday, but arranged for an alarm signal which would send the whole population to the rescue. There are a number of other low and weak spots on the La Fourche Board side and the levee and railroad officials and Capt. Derby of the United States engineers made a tour of the line and decided to raise the entire system three feet, the Government forces going to work to-day. On this s de of the river the Pontchartraiag supply train has been going from 5 o'clock in the morning until midnight, answering than awake and work is going on in every direction. The situation on Bayou La Fourche has once more become serious. Post-Dispatch Miss., April®30.—With theriver gauge now at W.6 feet, over the danger line and two feet higher than ever known and still rising, the levees, now built four feet ae gpd on top of the old levees, are revetted with planks and sacks of earth. The river has kept a steady pace and is now in many places almost even with the topes. The top being new earth and ver mushy and soft, great anxiety is bein dit To add to the now critical condition the weather continues tad. Severa) hard rains and a stiff? wind increase the danger to such an extent that a break at any mo- ment would surprise no one. The waves in some inglances are now splashing over the tops of the levees. Many levees are siping and caving badly and have every in- dication of being on the verge of collapsing The ocean of water that has been pour- ing into Concordia, Tensas and Madison parishes, La., from above and below is fast a 5 ee into @ solid sheet of water and has gun to arrive in the rear of Vidalia, La. across the river.

SCIONS OF HEROBS, Meeting of the National Congress of the Sons of the American Revoltion, 3 % CLEVELAND, O., April 30.+The Nafonal Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution has brought to Cleveland many distinguished men, and when the session of the society opened in the Chamber of Com- merce rooms this morning men prominent in various walks of life were present. The address of welcome was delivered by Presi- dent J. M. Richardson of the Ohio society, and was responded to by Vice-President Gen. Edwin 8. Barrett of the Massachusetts society. Both addresses were of an elo- quent nature. The Secretary, Gen. Frank- lin Murphy of New York, apologized for the absence of their President, Gen. Horace Porter, who is busy arranging his affairs preparatory to his departure as Ambassa- dor to France. The Secretary’s report showed that the society has an organization of 9,000 mem- bers in thirty-six states with a society in Hawaii. The reports of C. W. Harkins of New York, Treasurer-General; O. Howard Clark of Washington, Register-Genera!, and Henry Hall of New York, Historian-Gen- eral, were also read but were of a strictly routine nature. The absorbing topic at the morning session was the proposed union with an organiza- tion bearing a similar name, the Sons of the Revolution. There has been an inclination for months to unite and it is likely the con- vention will take steps to that end before it adjourns. Among those who were present at the morning session were: George D. Todd of Kentucky, Hon. George T. Wood, Ken- tucky; Gen, J. L. Brent, Marvland; J. War- ren Cutter, New York; Capt. C. M. Wil- liams, Virginia; Col. W. W. Strong, Wis- consin; Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, Washing- ton: Eugene F. Endicott, Massachusetts. Mrs. Donald McLean, the regent of the New York Chapter of the Daughtefs of the American Revolution, is here to represent that branch of the order. WINDOW GLASS HIGHER.

It is also stated that this is the reason that Mr. Johnston has been transferred to the New Orleans office and Inspector Dice ordered here. It is well known that Postmaster Car- lisle and Mr. Johnston are intimate friends, and the Story goes that he has trusted too implicitly to the reports of Mr. Carlisle's subordinates. All this is denied by the Inspector, who says it was impossible for him to discover the shortage. and that the accounts had been so juggied with that only comparison with those in Washington could reveal the error. Mr. Johnston was asked If any of Mr. Car- lisle’s assistants was under suspicion, Not one,’ said he. ‘“‘Mr. Hays is respon- sible, and be alone. He must bear the entire brunt of the guilt.’’ The ex-Cashier will be tried under one or two sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States, perhaps under both. One is for the embezzlement of public moneys, for which the maximum penalty is five years in the penitentiary at hard labor and $5,000 fine; the other is for witholding more than one’s salary and not accounting for the same; the penalty for this offense be- ing not less than six months nor more than five years and a fine of the same amount as the defalcation.

Frank Schmidt, son of Rudolph Séhmidt, the President of the St. Louis Malt Co., at 1222 South Twelfth street,after a mysterious disappearance for a week, has been located in Rhinelander, Wis. He is evidently the victim of foul play. Young Schmidt left a position with the Omaha Brewing Co. to accept a responsible post with the Kauffmann brewery of @in- cinnati. On his way over from Omaha he stopped in St. Louis to visit ‘his parents. Wednesday of last week he went to Chi- cago.. He had $1,500 with him when he left. After his arrival in Chicago he visited friends and on Friday called at the even- ing school of Wahl & Hennius. That was the last seen of him by acquaintances. Telegrams from the Kauffmann brewery to Wahl & Hennius and their inquiries of the young man’s parents revealed the fact that. he was missing. ij hursday night his brother Rudolph on Chief Desmond, obtained a letter ef introduction to Chief Fitzpatrick. and Teft on a late train for Chicago to ask the police to search for his brother . Friday morning Prof. Louis Hennius of the Brewers School received a letter from Sehmidt. incoherent. The epistle was rambling and The writer gaid he was work- was distasteful to him. He asked Prof. Hennius to send him money to get to St. Louis or else to to Rhinelander and rescue him from bondage. Prof. Hennius and Schmidt's brother left at once for Rhinelander. The theory of the Chicago police is that Schmidt was held up in Chicago, beaten into insensibility or drugged and then put ‘on the train for the Wsconsin city. MRS. CABANNE IS ILL.

That is a private matter which I do not care to discuss.’’ “Do you still practice at the hotel?” “Oh, yes, as much as anybody else. never was the hotel physician, you khow. I was just called in the eame as any other physician would be.”’ At the hotel it was stated that Dr. Irwin had left and they did not know where he had gone. They refused to say whether he had been requested to leave. The Health Department ts still trying to locate Bushnell.

OPPOSITION CAUCUS HELD. Eighty-eight Members Who Will Vote Against the Measures and Help to Defeat Them. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, April 30.—The Humphrey railroad bills are doomed in the Hiouse. A meeting last night was held and fifty-two Democratic and Republican members, all determined fighters on the floor, expresseé4 themselves in opposition to the measures. Thirty-six other mem- bers were vouched for. This makes &— ten more than enough to defeat the meas- ures. Mr. Tisdel called the meeting to order and announced that it had been arranged by several members who were opposed to the Humphrey bills. On motion of Mr. Btoskopf, Mr Needles was elected to pre- side over te meeting. Mr. Tisdel was nominated a; secretary, but declined in favor of Mr. wllivan. Mr. Needles, on taking the chair, stated that the meeting was held for the purpose of giving the members who were opposed to the bills known as the Humphrey meas- ures a general discussion. Mr. LaMonte said that he wished to + on record as unalterably opposed to the bills and asked that the secretary call the roil of the members present. Mr. Schwab suggested that as many mem- bers who were opposed tc the bills were un- able to be present at the meeting that it would be well for members present to vouch for those whom they knew were opposed to the bills The Secretary then proceeded to call the roll and the following members answered to their names: Anderson, Alschuler, Bailey, Barnett, Beer, Berryman, Booth, Bristol, Buckner, Busell, Butler, Cochran, Daugh- rty, Kirby, Funk, Hammers, Houghton, Hunter, Hussmas. Joy, Kincheloe, La onte, Lathrop, McGoorty, McGuire, Mc- Lauchian, Marquiss, Merriam, Morrill, Montgomery, Morey, Murray of Stark Needies, Nothna, Olsen, Perry, Powell of Cook, Price, Rowe, Schwab, Scrogin, Shan- ahan, Staudacher, Stoskopf, Sullivan, Thiemann, Tisdel, Trousdale, Trowbridge, Ward, White, Williams. Total, 62. The following members were vouched for as having expressed themselves against the bills: Andrus. Allen of Randolph, Atchison, Avery, Bovey, Bryan, Bryant, Conlee, Di- neen, Carver, Guffin, Hall of Cook, Harns- berger, Horn, Huffman, Jarvis, Johnson of Fulton, King, Kohlstedt, Lovett, Lyon, Mc- McEniry, Mencalf, Miller, Mitchell, g, O'Donnell, Organ, Payne, Rhodes, parmens, Steen, Stewart, Wood, Wylie. To- tail, 36. After the roll call was verified Mr. Shana- han said that as there were so many mem- bers present it would be well to have the lawyers who were present to explain the merits of the bills if there were any and the many demerits. Mr. Cochran (Rep.) said: ‘“‘These bills are worse than they were two years ago. They are now clothed in a more objec- tionable garb. The greatest objection that I see to them is that they propose to change a policy which we have been living under for years. The present Constitution is against special legislation. Since the adop- tion of it everything that can possibly be left to municipal government has been. These bills take away the right to grant franchises and bestow it on three per- eons, which in my judgment | = | very violent and dangtrous policy to pursue. The question as to whether Aldermen are corrupt or not is not a question for us to deal with. When we take away the right of a municipal government we con- feas to the weakness of that government. The people of Chicago are well able to govern their own affairs. To pass these bills would be to say that local self government is a failure. “No amendment could be made to any bill that looks to taking away the right of eeif control that I would vote for. Al- though I am a temperance man, I would not vote to take away the right of a mu- nicipal a. to grant a license. I ‘am willing to vote for a bill to regulate municipal government but not for a bill that proposes to legislate for them. My greatect objection is to the pelicy of these bills. The giving away of a fran- chise by the Legislature which they do not own is wrong. The proposition has been advanced that these franchises are bartered and sold as merchandise. If this is true the oe should elect aldermen who would not sell their franchises, but it is not a question for the Legislature to dea) with.” Messrs. Booth, Daugherty, Lamonte and Alschuler spoke in opposition to the bills. It was decided to hold another caucus on Tuesday evening. A resolution was adopted pledging the members to do everything in their power to pring about the defeat of the bills. Mr. Btoskopf and Mr. Schwab spoke againet the bills. Then the caucus ad- journed till Tuesday evening. THE SENATE. Attempt to Repeal Senator Dwyer’s Garbage Bill. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April 30.—In the Sen- ate Lundin introduced a bill repealing the law giving cities the right to make contracts for five years for the disposition of garbage.

BPRINGFIELD, Iil., April 80.—The House this morning passed Lyon's dill providing that children may be retained in the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home unti) 18 years of age in cases of special disability. Mr. Merriam introduced a bi}! the custodians of public funds for t — proper use thereof. The measure is de- lgned to prevent a repetition of such de- alcations as that of Treasurer Spalding of the University of Illinois and the «can- Gals connected with the grain inspection office in Chicago. It was agreed upon by the Committee on Appropriations and was sent to second reading this morning. It rohibite the loaning or investment of pub- fc funds under penalties ranging from $)00 he se five years’ imprisonment Tn the pen- ary. Following is the text of Merriam’s bill: If any State, county, township, city, town, village or other officer, elected or nted, under the constitution or laws of this State, master in chancery, com- missioner or other officer, or any court, or any clerk, agent, servant or employe of such officer shall use by way of in- Vvestment or loan for his own use, ex- ont a8 authorized by § law, Without interest, any oney, bonds, mortgages, coupons, bank - notes, warrants, orders or other uncs or securities intrusted to him for safe keeping, disbursement, transfer or other purposes, if the sum or value of Wd so used does be fined not in the ey, © t rt be prosecuted for grand larceny.

Al Norton and James Jones, colored, are locked up at the Mounted Police District charged with having stolen a pair cf diamond earrings valued at $12 from Mrs. Alfred C. Nye, of 3636 Folsom avenue. Mrs. Nye had employed the two negroes to lay some carpets. They were at work in her bed room and saw a small box con- cealed under the bed. They investigated and when the box was opened the sparklers were exposed to view. Then they decamped with the jewels. Mrs. Nye called her husband and started him out in pursuit of the negroes. They were overhauled and stopped by Mr. Nye. One of the negroes weakened and admitted their guilt. They begged not to be arrested and one of them sat down and pulled off his shoes. In the toe of each shoe he had stowed the diamonds away. When Mr. Nye gained possession of the jewels he blew a Olice whistle and turne them over to atrolmen Curran and Quigley.

MERIWETHER MEN ACTIVE. They Want to Name Six Members of the Ticket, One to Bea Woman. The proposition of the so-called new Democratic Executive Committee represent- ing the Meriwether wing of the Democratic party to the Democratic Executive Com- mittee, is as follows: ‘Messrs. Macrow, Cantwell, Thorpe, Mc- Caffery and Dunwoody, representing the Democratic City Central Committee and the new Democratic Central Committee. Gentlemen: In reference to the running of a ticket for the Schoo! Board at the coming election, if there shall be a Democratic ticket placed in the fleld, we have the fol- lowing propositions to make: First, that if there shall be a Democratic ticket, it shall be styled the Silver Democratic ticket. Second, we wish to have equal representa- tion on the ticket. In other words, we wish to name six persons to your naming six persons on the ticket, and that one of the six persons named by this committee shall be a woman. Third, that the person who shall head the ticket, shall be one of the persons selected by this committee or one of the persons selected by the Democratic City Central Committee, and it shall be determined by lot as to which of these per- sons shali head the ticket.” The gentiemen to whom the proposition was addressed presented it at 2 o'clock to the committee of five appointed Thursday by the Democratic Executive Committee to confer with citizens on the question of a School Board ticke. The proposition transmitted to the Meri- wether committee from the Democratic eub-committee, through the gentlemen “named, was for the naming of seven candl- dates by the Democratic committee and five by the Meriwether § faction. Dr. Thorpe, however, stated that he thought the mocratic committee would consent to a ratio of six and six. The action of the Meriwether committee was taken up a meeting In the Wainwright Bulliding, which was called to order at 11:15 o'clock and adjourned still in session at 1:30 o'clock. A committee of five, representing the mass meeting of women's clubs, at which a Woman's School Board ticket was named Thuredey night, was received by the com- mittee fore it a rned. under- standi was that representatives of — at eects ook Peas Senney, with en- tirely satisfactory results” agreed on the six names to be submitted to the Democratic committee, they refused o reveal the names. Fred Espenschied oy Judge A. A. Paxson are among the six. With an opposition Republican ticket in the field, representative Democrats con- sulting on a third ticket and the women’s clubs in the race with a ticket of their own the School Board situation is almost as interesting as if an entire city ticket were at stake. But two days remain for the active work of preparing tickets for the election. They must be filed before 5 o’clock Monday aft- ernoon. Those opposed to the Filley-Civic Federation ticket are crowding into the two days all the work that ordinarily ree quires weeks to accomplish. A conference was held Friday between the committee appointed at the meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee Thursday afternoon and that appointed Wednesday night at the Democratic mass meeting at Masonic Hall to frame a School Board ticket. The result of the conference was to be reported to the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee at 4 o'clock. The Jef- ferson Club was also represented by a com- mittee appointed Thursday night. The action taken by the members of the Executive Committee Thursday was merely as Democrats and not in their official capac- ity. The ticket being circulated by Joseph Lat- tell as an opposition Republican ticket, mentioned in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, consists of the following: Frederick Espen- schied. Aug J. Lang, Phomas A. Arnold, Emil G. Woitchek, William Wurdock, W. B. Addington, Edward W. Moon, John Shee- han, John Kissner, William Godfrey, R. W. Morrison and Maurice Landau. The Executive Committee appointed by thé mass meeting of Women’s Clubs Thurs- day night met at the Lindell Hotel Friday morning preparatory to conferring with the Democratie committees in regard to an in- dorsement of their ticket. he Women’s committee consists of Mrs. G. L. Werth, Miss Sophie Barron, Mra. Victoria Conk- ling Whitney, J. F. Conrad and J. B. Long. The ticket selected at the mass-meeting of Women’s Clubs is as follows: Mrs. M. E. Rea, wife of Police Sergeant Rea; Miss Belle Norman, teacher in the public schools; James A. Reardon, President of the Reardon Glue Co.; J. H. McCabe of McCabe & Young, wagon manufacturers; J. P. Richardson, lumber merchant and ex- School Director; Frank Beckman, in the street railway service; L. P. Custer, West, ern Union telegraph operator; W. B.

Why do bank clearances, as 4 rule, show decreases over last year? Why is the volume of transactions in the steel and iron trade so small, and prices for everything in the metal schedules 80 low ? These questions are important in view of the actual presence of the conditions which the country was told last year were necessary to prosperity. Accord- ing to the Globe-Democrat these condl- ‘tions have been here for some time, but in Thursday's issue of that paper their presence is asserted in these. strong words: The one country in the world which can spare any gold at the present time is the United States. This country has more of it than she can make profitable use of. Thanks to that overthrow of the 50c dol- lar party last year, this country’s financial system is on a solid basis once more. A year or two ago we were buying gold from Europe. At present we can safely sell a féw millions of it to any nation which is in need. THis being so, why do we continue to have suspensions of banks and fallures of commercial houses? Why is there a want of confidence which prevents in- vestment of capital? Why is not con- fidence restored on the basis of millions of dollars in gold coin locked up in bank and treasury vaults? Why do real estate prices languish, and why are in- vestors with confidence in the future of values hard to find? We have gold to spare. “This coun- try.” says the Globe-Democrat, “has more gold than she can make profitable use of.” In addition to that condition, all danger of silver “inflation” and “re- pudiation” isover. Still we go on break- ing banks, closing the doors of old mer- cantile establishments and selling our property at a sacrifice. The gold is here. Where is the con- fidence and prosperity that were to come with it? — — see 2 FILLEY AND HIS MEN. Chauncey I. Filley may not be able to control the Federa] patronage of St. Louis or Missouri, but he runs the Civic Federation and Die Schmierkase Verein. In Republican politics in Missouri the issue is rapidly narrowing down to a question between a power concentrated at Washington and local self-govern- ment. In this contest Herr Filley stands for local self-government, with the Civic Federation and Die Schmierkase Verein solidly behind him. We speak not of Ziegenhein, or of Wurzbureer, or Schweickhardat, gor Stud- Hiczka. All these are important figures standing for the principle of local self- government against Washington usurpa- tion. But, powerful ag they are, these men are only individuals in a great cause. The real forces of public opinion; the real organized expression of protest Cxsainst concentration of power, is in the two societies, the Civic Federation and Die Schmierkase Verein. And with these behind him, how can Filley fail? It is true that Kerens has some high connections in national politics. He is hand-in-glove with Senators. He is in business association with the business interests Mr. McKinley does most re- gard. He is an adept in the ground- floor arrangements learned in the old Blaine school of Republican politics. But if the principle of local self-govern- ment Is not to perish, Filley, with Die Bchmierkase Verein and the Civic Feder- ation at his back, cannot fail to win. te THE GAME OF GERRYMANDER. Some of the Republicans in the Illinois House figure that it is possible in a new Senatorial apportionment to make twen- ty-threereliable Republican districts. But the Republicans in the Senate wing of the Illinois State Capitol are only figur- ing on eighteen rellable Republican dis- tricts. There are fifty-one legislative districts in the State, and even the enthusiasm of the House members has not been able, thus far, to figure out a safe majority. The Benate estimate is more likely to be justified. In the Republican tidal wave of 1804 the Democrats still held one-third of the Senate, and it is dificult to con. @eive of any future convulsion that could reduce either of the great parties to a ‘Smaller percentage in Senatorial repre- ' @entation. It is creditable to the judgment of the calculators that they are not va ie ; ” SIs sh. ? . % : a ? . ‘ FY gis , is yee ie 4 oh “te ® Te ae nt ; f : «eee a p “ween m+ innalliteity extravagant claims. But if they want tb make a new map, livid in its imaginative quality, and red with the blood of all the foes of Republicanism, let them hold a joint caucus. In such an assemblage they will find the statesmen who can make maps that will retire the Illinois Democracy to oblivion forever, and even wipe out the minority represen- tation provided for in the Illinois Consti- tution. The Democrats, in the session of 1893, had to deal with a number of such men, as honest as they were mistaken, Sev- eral of them had maps differing from the one that was finally adopted. Compar- ing all of these rejected plans with the election returns of 1894 or 1896 will show what a helpless condition, legisla- tively speaking, the party would now be in if either ofthem had been chosen. The very best apportionment possible, froma party point of view, was made by the Democrats that year. And yet it was en- tirely ineffective. Gerrymandering is a poker game in which politicians stack the cards and deal, and the people turn out the lights and take the stakes. oe ——— . MR. CARLISLE’S “PARTY.” Ex-Secretary Carlisle says he thinks the “National Democrats” should main- tain their organization separate from what he is pleased to term “the free sil- ver party,” but which is, as a matter of fact, the national Democratic party of the United States. When the bolters’ convention which met at Indianapolis last year organized a national committee and solemnly re- solved to “maintain a party organiza- tion,’’ the Post-Dispatch declared the ac- tion to be a threat designed to prevent the Democratic party, if defeated in 1896, from making another campaign on the lines of the Chicago platform. At that time, however, it was supposed that the Indianapolis ticket would command at least half a million votes, When it polled but one quarter of that number, and the Democratic party polled the largest vote in its history, the threat became ridicu- lous. ° Under the present election laws of most States, which make the polling of at least two per cent of the total vote In the last preceding election necessary to party rep- resentation on the official ballot, the Bolt- ocrats will not be entitled as a party to run an electoral ticket in any State. Last year they polled two per cent in but four States. These were Connecticut, Mas- sachusetts, Vermont and New Hamp- shire. In Connecticut they polled two and a half per cent of the total vote cast, in Massachusetts about the same per- centage, in New Hampshire about four and a half per cent, and in Vermont about two and a quarter per cent. In none of these four States did they poll as high as five per cent of the total vote. In none of the other States did they poll to exceed one per cent of the total. This is the ‘National Democratic party” which proposes to “keep up its organization” as a menace to Democ- racy. After one campaign it finds itself in such humiliating position that, in the next election, as in the last, it must £0 on the ticket by petition of electors, if it goes on at all. For even in the States where it polled two per cent last year it is not maintaining the form of organiza- tion or exhibiting any of the activity or potency of a genuine party. Nowhere is it recognized as a political force. No- where is it considered as an element in party calculations. But everywhere it is recognized as a floating derelict, too amall and too rotten to be dangerous, and not worthy of a place in political chartings. But without It, what would become of Carlisle and Bynum and the others of the invalid corps, who pose as its leaders at Belshazzar banquets, and magnify its numbers as Falstaff did the buckram men at Gad’s Hill? To these and such as these it stands for a force with which to bring Croesus to terms with them. To everybody else it means nothing but im- potent dishonor. __ Oe PEOPLE AGAINST PLUTOCRATS. The Post-Dispatch directed attention recently to the remarkable fact that the Republicans in various State Legislatures and the Middle-of-the-Road men in the Populist party are working together to force a division of the Populists and Dem- ocrats in future campaigns. It pointed out that the only reasonable explanation of such an unusual combination is that both Republicans and Middle Road Pop- ulists are controlled by the. money power, and it called for any honest Mid- dle-of-the-Road Populist to give a better J. L. Talbot responds in a letter pub- lished Monday, in which he attacks what he calls the “Democratic machine,” but makes no reference whatever to our point of Jnquiry. What we asked and what we want to know is, how can any honest Pop- ulist reconcile the policy of dividing the forces of anti-Plutocracy with the fact that the leaders of the Plutocratic party are pursuing the same policy? How can he denounce fusion when the Republicans are using their legislative power in many States to make fusion impossible, because they fear it? That was the question asked. Mr. Talbot does not answer it. He does not even refer to it. He asserts that independent Populist action is the surest means of defeating the money power. Then why does the money power seek to force the Populists into independent action? Are the Re- publicans anxious for Populist success? Are they legislating to prevent fusion with a view to putting the Populist party in power? Is it not more likely that they are anxious to divide the great army of 6,500,000 Bryan voters whose ultimate victory is certain if they are held togetna- er? Mr. Talbot says Populists hold beliefs which Democrats do not entertain. This is not the time for hair-splitting. Wheth- er we shall go to heaven by sprinkling or immersion is not a question to discuss in face of the danger of hell. It is the peo- ple against the Plutocrats.

Oppo- sition to the fee system is growing wherever that system exists. There Is no reason why the taxpayers should not have the benefit of whatever fees are ex- ’ : — acted by officials. If the bill from Cook County is passed, all fees and emolu- ments will be turned over to the county on the first day of each month. 7 The increase in Bellefontaine Cemetery prices will not be well received.

Money. Storer? Money. White at Berlin is due to the Teutons themselves. But for all the rest, whatever be the tune or strain of their discovery, whether it be literature in the person of Hay or trade in the shape of Draper; through all, under all, runs the sordid monotone of Money. It does not look well in a Pres- ident whose root is penury, and who only eight weeks ago vacated for the White House a cottage whereof the rental was but $40 per nonth. I don’t like this Presi- dential sympathy for Money; I'd prefer to witness the coming of a few poor men to high places. It is not well fo let the Presi- dent stand for all the poverty in office.

MORRIS’ STOCKS. Complication Arises Over Their Sale in Bulk by the Assignee. A rather odd complication has artsen in the case of the assignment of James O. Morris, who conducted two furnishing goods stores, one In the Planters’ Hotel and one at 520 Washington avenue. The St. Louis Trust Co. was appointed assignee by Judge Val- Mant and a short time afterward was au- thorized to ask for bids for t r and fixtures of both houses. ee Bids were advertised for in due form and at noon Thursday were opened by the as- signee. There were ten bids received for the Washington avenue store and eleven for the Pine street establishment. After look- ing. them all over and comparing them the ass'gnee recommended that the Washington avenue store be sold to George Woolt & Sons for $5,629.85 and the n t ] to the WillHam Barr ; Gesde Gur ae $4,000 Dry Goods Co. for Woolf & Co., who are supposed to repre- sent the largest creditors of the firm, bid $3,842.83 for the Pine street place, which was only @ couple of hundred dollars less than Barr’s bid. On the other place, the report shows, they bid almost a thousand dollars more than anyone else. When the report was filed Friday morning Nathan Frank, attorney for Woolf & Co., objected to the recommendation and asked perm!ssion to heard before the award was finally made. It is understood that Woolf & Co. do not want to take the Washington avenue store unless they can get the other also. TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL. The Exposition Opens Saturday Under Favorable Conditions. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 20.—Four thousand two hundred men are at work to-day putting the finishing touches on the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, which will be open for the reception of visitors to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock, A heavy rain fell last night and the skies are over- cast to-day, but the officials are working with undampened ardor, for the weather man promises fair weather for to-morrow. The city is gaily decorated and every incoming trains add to the throng of vidit- ors. Director-General Lewis says the first days’ crowd will find more in perfect readi- ness than they can see in twelve hours. The inaugural attendance, the conditions ae | fair, is variously estimated at from 35, to 50,000. Work on exhibits will be continued in all of the buildings under electric light to-night. The ceremonies at the opening to-morrow will be very simple. .A civic parade will occupy the early morning hours in the city, ending at the grounds, where brief addresses will be made by Exposition, State and city officials. Exactly at noon, President McKinley, seated in the White House, will touch the button which will, by electric current, set the machinery of the Exposition tn motion. This Exposition is nearer ready for the opening than any other ever was, LAWYER KERR’S BAD MEMORY. Owes the Library $3.07 Fine on an 80- Cent Book. “Blessed be Cadmus, or who ever it was that invented books,” {s an old saying not wholly relished by Lawyer James K. Kerr, whose office is in the Monroe building. Librarian J. F. Langton, of the Public Library, was in Judge Peabody's police court Friday morning to prosecute Lawyer Kerr for the detention of a book, due to be returned December 15 last, “The Chronicle of Henry VIII.,"™ published anonymously and valued at 80 cents. According to the rules and regulations of the Public Library the amount of Mr. Kerr's indebtedness to date is $3.07. Mr. Kerr does not deny possession of the book, and claims no mistake. It is a simple case of carelessness or forgetfulness. A summons was sent out for the lawyer Fri- day morning, but as it could not be served the case was continued. The statement was made that Mr. Kerr is confined to his bed with pneumonia. EXCHANGE EXCURSION. Merchants Arranging to Eclipse All Their Previous Efforts. A meeting of the contributors to the fund for the annual excursion of the Merchants’ _ Exchange will be held in the directors’ room of the Exchange Saturday afternoon to select the committees and perfect the necessary arrangements for the outing. Sufficient money has been subscri to make the affair a grand success, and t year’s excursion will be eclipsed. The affair will be given Thursday, June 10, and Montesano Springs will probably be the objective point. Three boats will be chartered for the occasion, and an interest. ing programme will be arranged, including Japanese daylight fireworks, fireworks in the evening, music and dancing. MR. BLALOCK’S JOB.

It is never pleasant to write an ac- count of the home team's dce- feat. The task becomes particu- larly disagreeable when the poor work of a certain three or four players is responsible for the victory of the other side. But when games are lost through the individual bungling work and weakness justice to the other play- ers who struggled hard for a win de- mands that the culpable ones be taken to task and given full credit for their contributions to the score of the other side. The Post-Dispatch thus commented on the Wednesday game, in which the Ch:cagos de- feated the Browns. The same comment ap- — to the tile game with Cleveland Thurs- ay. Bierbauer, one of the highest salaried men on the team, is again the guilty one. To him are due the thanks of the Cleveland rooters that Tebeau’s chain of defeats was ot added to. To him are due the thanks of the home rooters that he saved the Browns a clear loss, after he had presented, upon a silver platter, banked with flowers, the fame to the visitors. ‘‘Looie’’ tied the score in more ways than one. He did it in the ninth inning when he singled and brought in Turner with the even run. Had he-not fumbled McKean’s hit in the fifth inning the exciting ninth would ave seen the Browns winners by a lead of t rée runs. The truth of the matter Is is in no condition to play bas artist at second base when’ in practice. Everybody will admit that. But he’s far from being in practice now, and there's a suspicion in the minds of many people that “Loule’s’’ heart is not entirely in his game. A man with a bad leg, a business falling off by reason of his absence from home, and a wife constantly suggesting that he'd better return to it can not in reason be expected to play as good base ball as a man lke Doug- as, for instance, who has everything before him and no outside issues to demand his at- tention. If Bierbauer is in earnest about re- maining in St. Louis and is sincerely anx- ious to give the Browns the best he's got, it might be well to let him lay off a week or two and have his leg treated properly. He could practice with the nine in the mornings and thus keep the stiffness out of his arms and back and at the same time give the right sort of attention to the leg which has indirectly lost the Browns two games which they had in their hands. Bierbauer could easily be spared from the second bag even before Sullivan ar- rives from Hot Springs. Dowd would be a vast improvement at that base and the hole in center could be passably filled by Clifford, the catcher, who has yet had no eaten to show what he could doina championship game. Clifford played cen- ter in one of the games with St. Paul and layed it well. He showed himself fairly ast, and a reliable handler of high fies, Besides that he has given signs of hitting the ball far and away beyond what Bier- bauer has done so far. It is true that with Dowd on second and Clifford tn the field it would be a patched-up team, but it cer- tainly would stand a better show of win- ning than the “regular’’ nine, which has let two cinches slip through its fingers. Sockalexis, the aborigine, discovered and tipped off to President Robison by John Montgomery Ward, was the hero of the game Thursday, so for as blueland was concerned. He saved the day for his team by pulling down McFarland’s high fly in the ninth inning when the bases were full and the score a tie. It was a pretty running catch, in which eye as weil as leg figured. Darkness was rapidly approaching and the ball seemed the size of a “period” as eped towards the right field fence. When the cigar sign nailed it with both hands he was generously cheered by the mob of howling fans who were earnestly sgoping he'd fall down or misjudg® the hit. The catch concluded the fun, for McDon- ald called the game. Patsey Tebeau grew @ little bit nasty as he walked off the giampnd. and narrowly escaped a fine. Mc- onald used great self control, and stood well one or two irritating kicks from the Cleveland captain. By the way, McDonald is umpiring a good ame. He isa trifle given to slowness, but tis apparently because he wishes to make no blunders. This has been observed in the three games where time has had to be called on accouwlt of rain. He is fair enough on balls and strikes, his only short-coming, it &ppears to be, is a desire to “even up” things. This is directly against Young's in- structions, which adv'se umpires to go ahead and decide what seems to them to be proper, regardless of a previous close dect sion favoring one side or the other. Beyond the stirring ninth inning, when singles by Dowd, rner, Hartman and Bierbauer made the score 6 and 6, the only A features of the game were home runs Conner and McKeon. They were the first on the home grounds this season. HART FOR ORGANIZATION. at Blerbauer ball. He's an The Chicago President Thinks the Brotherhood a Good Thing. At least one League president has ex- pressed himself on the proposed organiza- tion of professional ball players and in no mistaken terms. In an interview, Hart of the Chicago team says he is unequiv- ocably in favor of the scheme and tells why. He says that an organization of this character would provide a means of getting together and arbitrating grievances wher- ever they exist. He draws attention to the fact that at present all claims are settled between individuals, the player and the owner, whereby under an organization plan the geen powers of the two. bodies could assemble and act quickly. Among other favorable opinions President Hart “Yes, sir, I am heartily in favor of the layers of the Le e; in fact, of the en- re fraternity, having an organization for their muttal protection and the advance- ment of their own interests. I'll do all in my power to aesist In the launching of such an organization. I think such a body would be of incalculable benefit, not only to the layers, but to the League owners and of- Bolale. No one of the so-called League tes wishes to take any unfair ad- vantage of the players. Each of the latter le to ve fair play at all times. “As it now is there is no way for League and club owners, directors or officers as- cer the causes of dissatisfaction ames P ~ ge until the newspapers have sorts of reasons.

Recently he received a communication from the owners of a more or less prominent stable in Baltimore, Md., asking him what inducements he had to of- fer to bring a string of racers to St. Louis which would be run under “instructions,”’ with the “‘instructions’”’ heavily underscored. President Hambrick replied in a tart and to the point manner that the only “induce- ments’’ his association had to offer them was to “‘come here and get what you can by level, honest racing. If your horses can- not run under these conditions, we don’t want them or you either.’’ The conditions quoted in this letter apply to not only the Baltimore people but to all others as well, and it may save trouble for soft spot and sure thing owners who con- template entering stock at this track to bear them well in mind, for Mr. Hambrick is de- termined to have nothing but clean sport. So insistent upon this point will the officia!s be, that suspicion alone will constitute cause for action. SOUTH SIDE RACING. The Arctic Wave Makes No Difference to the Crowds. The cold wave cut no tce with the crowd at South Side Thursday night. There was a great rush for Blue Blanket bargains prior to the opening race. The talent repeated their successes of the previous night and landed four coups off the reel with Blue Blanket, Mascot, Minco Maid and Shadrach. In the closing race Jim Baker, almost an equal favorite with Alblon, nosed the latter out in the very last stride. To-night Horace Argo, Bonneville, Jim Baker and a half dozen other sprinters will try conclusions in the fourth race, while Volunteer II., Freddie Gebhard’s old bread- winner, will sport silk in the initial race of the evening.

A made before WNULTY'S SHIRT ~ WAS IN BYIDBNCE, MISS ANNA DALY’S AUNT SALLIE CAPTURED IT. HIS TRIAL FOR AN ASSAULT. He Claims the Girl Had No Occasion to Scream When He Vis- ited Her. _ In the trial of Edward McNulty for as- Ssaulting Anna E. Daly, the back of a white shirt was offered in evidence by the State. Mrs. Sallie Hubbard, aunt of Miss Daly, identified it as the one she tore from McNulty when she went to the rescue of her niece. Last September McNulty was arrested on complaint of Miss Daly and her aunt. The case went to trial Thureday, and the day was consumed im hearing the evidence. Friday morning Judge Zachritz read his in- structions to the jury and the attorneys made their arguments. Miss Daly had been living with Mrs. Udell in Benton, and on Sept. 12 went to visit her aunt, Mrs. Hubbard, at 5071 Ridge avenue. McNulty’s parents occupy the first floor and rent the second to Mrs. Hubbard. Miss Hubbard said that during the night she was awakened by Ed McNulty, who was standing near her bed. He had noth- ing on but a shirt. When he saw that she was awake, she says, he threw himself on the bed. She screamed for ‘‘Aunt Sallie.” Mrs. Hubbard testified that hearing the screams of her niece she rushed into Miss Daly’s room. She grabbed the tail of Mc- Nulty’s shirt. She pulled so hard that the back of the shirt gave way at the collar band and Mrs. Hubbard fell back on the floor. She held to the fragment of the irt. She then ran down stairs. screaming, and told Mr. and Mrs. McNulty, the defend- ant’s parents, that a burglar was choking Miss Daly. It was dark in Miss Daly's room and Mrs. Hubbard did not recognize the man whose shirt she had torn. McNulty was found in the hall by his father and ordered from the house. Six hours lbater he was arrested. McNulty testified that he was drunk, but that earlier in the evening Miss Daly had told him that she would leave the door to her room ajar and he might visit her. He came in the back door after midnight and at the top of the stairs on the second floor he disrobed. Then he went into the room, the door of which was ajar. The scene that followed he admitted was correctly described by Miss Daly and her aunt. Mrs. Udell was called to prove the char- acter of Miss Daly. She never heard any one discuss the chastity of the young lady, although the pastor ha’? said she was a good Sunday-schoo] teacher. Mrs. G. W. Gammage, a nice, white-ha'red old lady, got angry when questioned about Miss Daly’s reputation, which she had never heard discussed. As she left the stand and was passing Attorney Rollins’ seat she looked daggers at him, said “Thank you,’’ tartly and stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose at him much as school girls would do. That threw the court room and it required five minutes to restore order. Miss Daly is an orphan slender, quite dark and _ has She dresses in black china silk. McNulty ts 24 years old, tall, well built and bright. BIBLE AND BATH TUB. Burglar That Stole Them Roughly Handled by Oak Hill Residents. The peaceful neighborhood of Oak Hill was aroused Thursday afternoon by the chase of a burglar over two miles of streets and his final capture in Tower Grove Park. Had it not been for the arrival of two mounted policemen tre captors might have attempted to lynch him. Mrs. Mary Day and her daughter were in the garden patch back of their home at 4336 Oleuathe avenue wien James McGowan ro Samat along and strolled into the front oor, While there he picked up the family Bible, a portable bath tub, an umbrella and a shaving set. He was going out the front door with these articles when Mrs. Day discovered him, and, armed with a rake, strated in pursuit. Her daughter followed with a _ trowel. Shrieks and screams increased the army in pursuit to a dozen men residents of the district, and again as many women. McGowan kept in the lead, and turned the corners, ran through gardens, up alleys and across vacant fields, and finally reached the western entrance to Tower Grove Park. By this time his purruers were close upon him, and he threw tne bath tub, con- taining the other articles, into the shrub- bery. He darted in and about the trees, but the crowd followed, and fearing capt- ure in the open, McGowan concealed him- self under a low hanging pine tree. It required but a few minutes for the min and women.-to find him and drag him from his retreat. By this time the crowd num- bered 200 people. The men were pummeling nim with their fists, and the women were using farm im- plements to good advantage, when Patrol- men Stone and Davis, mounted, rode up. They wedged their way through the crowd and took possession of the prisoner and led him to the Mounted District Police Station. A warrant was sworn out against him Fri- day. QUESTION OF TAXES. Suit to Determine the City’s Interest in the Mullanphy Estate. The Mullanphy estate tax case was up be- fore Judge Klein in court room No. 1 for argument Friday. The suit was brought by the Mullanphy board against the City Col- lector to restrain him from assessing and collecting taxes against the Mullanphy property, on the ground that the property coal » belongs to the city and was left to the city by Bryan Mullanphy in his will. Judge R. KE. Rombauer, representing the Mullanphy board, championed this position, and W. C. Marshall, the City Counselor, took the other side and argued the con- ry. "The whole controversy came about in a pecullar manner. The County Collector by mistake taxed some Mullanphy property which has never before been assessed for taxation. The board protested and the question was raised as to the eligibility of the Mullanphy property for taxation. The City Counselor decided that it was taxable and the Col- lector made out his tax bills accordingly. This was the first attempt made to tax the Mullanphy estate, and it naturally raised quite a commotion tn the board. A previous case of Charles Grew against the board for fees was cited as a precedent. When Judge Klein decided the case an ap- peal was taken. It was argued that the ap- peal did not Ile to the Court of Appeals, be- cause the city was an interested party and that the case should go direct to the Supreme Court. Judge Kiein in that case decided that the city was only a trustee and not directly interested, and granted an appeal to the Court of Appeals. There a decision was reached and a demurrer filed on the ground that the court had no juris- diction on the same grounds as raised be- fore Judge Klein. Judge Rombayer, then on the Appeals bench, decided tha the city was not a party directly in interest. The issue to be decided now ts whether the Mullanphy estate is city property or not. Tf it is, it is exempt from taxation, and ff it {is not it must pay taxes like any other propersy. PROF. ANGELL’S SUCCESSOR. Post Offered to Prof. Hutchins, Dean of the Law Department.

LOUIS LEVEE WILL BE REACHED. WABASH TRACKS OVERFLOWED. No Great Damage Yet Done, but a Heavy Rain Would Cause a Repetition of 1892. The Mississipp! at St. Louis is above the Ganger line. At 9 o'clock Friday morning the stage was 30.1 feet and at noon W.2. The river is slowly rising, and Local Fore- cast Official Frankenfie]d says there is enough water in sight to carry the stream to 30.6 feet and possibly 30.7, which stage will be reached Saturday. This will cause the water to flow over the top of the levee along the entire river front, will cover the Wabash tracks and will cause the seepage to rise nearly to the first floor of al! buildings on Wharf street. How much higher the river will go de- pends upon the weather. Every condition is ripe for a flood, and a heavy rain, gener- al throughout Missouri, would probably cause a stage as high if not higher than fn 1892. The stage Friday is the highest since Mr. Frankenfield came to the St. Louts office, three years ago, and is the highest since the memorable flood of 1892. Mr. Frankenfield has delved over old rec- ords, both official and unofficial, and he gives the following table to show the stages of high water.“within the memory of man: 1785 Th) eeneeee 41.6 feet 1844 (unofficial).......... Beeebeoeeseoees 41.4 feet SS SEES 1897. April 30 (official).................30.2 feet As this is the highest water during his term of office in St. Louls, Mr. Frankenfleld was desirous Friday of witnessing the ef- fect of the turbulent stream, and, accom- panied by a Post-Dispatch reporter, he walked from the foot of Chestnut street to above the Eads Bridge. The lowest point of the Levee is at the foot of Lucas avenue and Morgan street. There the water is flowing over two of the Wabash tracks and by Saturday morning dt will be over the third. A rise of another foot and trains will be unable to move, for the fire will be put out in the fire boxes. A rise of another foot at this point will also Qiood the first floor of bulldings. There were busy scenes all along the levee front Friday morning. Roustabouts were engaged moving freight to the side streets that run down to the wharf, and occupants of P':'ldings at the lowest point were taking the precaution to remove ev- erything thai might be damaged by water @way from the first floor. Every cellar along the front is now filled with seepage water, but ample warning had been - A of this rise and no proper- ty has been damaged. River men are having a hard time of it. The stream is filled with trees and lumber that are being carried down and the pilots @re kept busy dodging the flotsam which threatens damage to wheels and propellers. The current sweeps in shore to the St. Louis side, and every steamer on the river front had her paddles revolving Friday morning so as to aid the hawsers in bear- ing the strain. A hawser atretched from the Missouri River Commission steamer C. R. Suter parted early Friday morning, and there was some lively work before another could be stretched. Navigation under the Fads Bridge is ex- he ge dangerous, and the river is 80 high that a number of boats cannot pass beneath the structure. At the present Stage the highest point of the central span is but thirty-six feet above the water. “This shows what effect small tributary streams can have,"’ remarked Mr. Frank- enfield. “‘Nearly all this water comes out of the Des Moines and Fox Rivers, andj a little from the Missouri, “The latter stream is about stationary ow, but it is bank-full and everything its such shape that a downpour will cause @ rapid rise.” Mr. Frankenfield does not see any rain ir eight for this State during the next twenty- our hours. He predicts fair weather for Saturday and warmer Saturday evening. In North 8t. Louis they are getting ready or an overflow. Part of the land owned y the Reardon Glue Works was under water Friday morning and some has seeped nto the lumber yards, but as yet no damage as en done. The gauge at the East St. Louis Water- works registers a stage of 30.5, a rise of 7 Inches in the river since Wednesday at 6 DPD. m. The water is creeping up the levee at this point at the rate of one-half inch an hour, and Supt. Hoover Delieves that it will reach $1 feet by Saturd morning. “Just say, however,” said Mr. Hoover this Morning, “‘that there is a wrong impression about the danger line in East St. uls. The danger line is 32 feet instead of feet, and the gauge must mark 33 feet Ore any real damage is apparent on this Ge of the waters.” The overflow just north of the East Side Water-works is causing the C., B. & Q. R Co. a bit of trouble. A heavy volume of water has swooped down on the “Q” tracks t of the Union elevator and the company bracing the embankment leading to the nd house, near Cahokia Creek. with a nioad of hay.

Mr. Calhoun ts a lawyer of fine apeity and an old and intimate friend of the President. The Ca@inet at the meeting to-day _dis- cussed nothing of importance.

AZBILL SAW THE BAPTIZING. NOW HE HAS A CHANCE TO SEE THE WORK-HOUSE. TOWER GROVE IS INDIGNANT. A Vista Avenue Man Who Likes to Disturb Religious Gatherings to Be Arrested. William Azbill of 421 Vista avenue must appear in court to respond to a suenmons issued by Assistant City Attorney Meiggs, for disturbing religious ceremonies at the Tower Grove Baptist Church. At the Tower Grove Baptist Church last Sunday a fair convert was to be immersed, and Mrs. Azbill was one of her attendants. Rev. Mr. Sturgeon had the baptismal ser- vice well underway when Azbill appeared, a little ruddy of face and very rugged of speech. He shouted and roared and had to be put out of the place of worship by the deacons and other officials. Then Mrs. Azbill lost her patience and got a warrant for her hus- band, A visit to the Azbill mansion on Vista ave- nue does not give one the same feeling that inspires a wayfarer in Vandeventer place. There are points of difference in the sur- roundings. The Azbill castle is of frame, with a tumble down fence, and a yard in the rear containing a fine collection of do- mestic animals, including a ferocious dog, which at the moment of observation was at- tached to a schooners’ cable, and therefore innocuous. A couple of ladies who live up stairs, said they did not know where Mrs. Azbll was, but “I can tell you where the old man is,”’ said one, and she pointed toa brewery not far away. ‘‘He’s been there a month or more, and doesn’t seem to want to be any other place.”’ “‘He’s drunk all the time and it will be a good thing if he’s locked up for sixty days,”’ added the fair neighbor. Rev. Menta Stur- eee. pastor of the Tower Grove Baptist Shurch, who lives at 4226 Norfolk avenue, said he had heard of some disturbance on Sunday, but there was no interruption of the ceremoni “The fact is,” said he, “I did not know it was going on until afterward. I under- stand this man Azbill is an inebriate who likes to disturb political and religious gath- erings, and makes his wife's life a burden. I hope they will sober him up. “We have large congregations nowadays, of mixed people. I have had to appoint a corps of ushers to preserve order. We have a deep religious feeling, and I am glad to say, have had a great awakening, but now and then somebody disturbs the meet- ings. I did not know anything of this the other day. The ushers removed the man and I knew nothing of it. Our services were not disturbed in the least.” The Azbill castle remained closed for the day. The old man’s overalls swung wildly on the line, and the dog snarled an growled and tugged viciously at his chain. ROBBED BY A SIREN. An Illinois Merchant Finds Himself $80 Short. John Howell, who claims to be a mer- Chant from a Southern Illinois town, re- ported to the police Thursday night that he had been robbed of $80. He said he met a woman on the street, who persuaded him to accompany her to a room at 10 North PBighth street. While there he said $80 was taken from his pock- ets. He told a policeman his troubles, and when Jessie Griffin of 703 Pine street was arrested the identified her as the woman who had robbed him. She was sent to the Police Court. THREE ARE DEAD. Man, Wife and Child Shot and Killed in Maine. BIDDEFORD, Me., April 80.—A message from Bar Mills announced that John Lane, wife and children, were found dead at Bonny BWagle, five miles from. Bar Mills, this morning. All had been shot. Bar Mills is a small place on the Portland and Rochester Railroad, about twelve miles northeast of this city. It is supposed that a double murder and suicide was committed.

The Republican Factions Torn Up Over the St. Louis Sur- veyorship. The Kerens and Filley factions of local Republicanism are now Greeks and Turks in their contests over the spoils of Fed- eral office. They are especially excited in connection with Mr. CG H. Smith’s appointment as Surveyor of the Port of St. Louis, made by President McKinley in spite of all the Filley protests. Since Mr. Smith's name was sent to the Senate for confirmation, the Filleyites have caused over 200 telegrams to be forwarded to Washington in protest, resulting in the hanging up of the appointment, The Kerensites laughed at all this as be- ing mere inventions of the enemy, but on Friday an affidavit appeared, made by M. F. Doud of St. Louis, and addressed to Congressman Bartholdt, asserting that Mr. Smith “was in Jefferson City at the last session of the General Assembly offering $30,000 to bribe members to vote for R. C. Kerens for United States Senator,’’ and that he (Doud) was “one who was ap- proached with the proposition.”’ This affidavit is declared by Mr. Smith, who was interviewed in Washington, to be “infamously false,’’ but the subject has been referred to Senator Frye and is caus- ing much comment in Republican stead- fastnesses. Mr. Doud ts an insurance agent with an office near the sky floor of the Chemical building, but his office was locked tight and hard Friday, and it was said he had gone out of town on business. He came to St. Louis several years ago from Warrensburg, and became connected with a local newspa- er as a canvasser in Illinois and Missourt. e spent most of his time at Jefferson City during the last session of the Legislature, presumably with an eye on proposed insur- ance legislation. Meanwhile he dabbled somewhat ex- tensively in local Republican politics, and in the last campaign became more or less prominent as the “Chairman of the Na- tional Silver Party.”’ It was in that ca- pacity he appeared before:Secretary of State Lesueur and endeavored to have the nomi- nations of his party filed but the Secretary refused to receive them, on the ground that the caption was misleading, and the courts wupinnes him. sé ’ ] ll tell you who Doud is,” said Col. Fred W. Schaurte to a Post-Dispatch re- orter. “He is one of the men retained y Filley to keep the Populists out of the Republican camp and prevent fusion and harmony. His affidavit-is silly. More- over, itis unture. I was at Jefferson City from start to finish of that Sénatorial contest, and everybody knows there was never a moment when Senator Vest’s re- election was in doubt. And who would give $30,000, or any other sum, for a merely com- plimentary vote? It’s all stuff.” “IT know Doud’s statement to be untrue,” said Election Commissioner Saunders. “I have heard al] the details of the Sena- torial fight from all sides, and never an intimation that money figured in it.’”’ Out at the Mosque, on Beaumont and Chestnut streets, Mr. Filley had a party of political friends in caucus assembled. He sent down word to “please excuse me.”’ while the grating voice of the boss could be shrilly heard expressing his views of the situation. The Filleyites at Jefferson City whispered “boodle’’ as soon as Mr. Smith arrived at the capital, but it was then considered a bit of pleasantry, characteristic of local politics. And when Col. Kerens secured the caucus nomination over Mr. Filley by only one vote, the whispering broke out afresh, but still there was no intimation that any- body had been actually offered money to vote for Kerens. Mr. Doud’s affidavit, however, has stirred up the political animals on both sides of the party, and Friday was spent in tele- graphing to Washington. REAL ESTATE SALES. Some Very Desirable Property to Be Offered Saturday. The Andéerson-Wade Realty Co. announce that they will hold their auction to-morrow regardless of the weather conditions. The property to be sold is very desirable, com- prising a high and elevated situation in a growing portion of the city. Messrs. An- derson-Wade are of the — that the unfavorable weather and late spring will have a tendency to low prices. That, how- ever, should be favorable to buyers, as it insures greater advances with the coming summer and makes more profits probable. A large crowd will likely be oe at the sale, which begins at 2 o'clock, To-Morrow’s Realty Auction. To-morrow is the day set for the auction sale in “Arsenal Heights.’’ Henry Hiemenz, Jr., says his instructions are to sell, and he proposes to do so. The idea is to close out quickly and make a small profit rather than incur the expense of making a second sale by holding for higher prices. This will give the buyer an advantage for a larger future profit. Four of the lots are corners, suitable for buildings, and all the lots are above grade. All this property is on the north side of Arsenal street between Pennsylvania avenue and Compton. Building Permits. M.

BANK OFFICIAIS MERCIFUL TO YOUNG GEORGE MURPHY. FOLLOWED HIS FATHER’S PATH. The Young Man Had the Full Confi- den¢ée of His Employers, but Proved Recreant, The officials of the St. Louis National Bank announced Friday morning that they would make no effort to locate young George F. Murphy, the collector who dis- appeared Wednesday afternoon. President Nickerson said: “So far as we are concerned the case is settled. Our loss is very small, and we are sure to be indemnified either by the young man’s sureties or by his family. The boy made an unfortunate mistake for which we have no desire to prosecute him. We do not know or care where he is, and have made no investigation as to his movements after he left here Wednesday afternoon.” Members of young Murphy's family still profess profound ignorance as to his where- abouts. A Post-Dispatch reporter who called at the house Friday morning was met by the boy’s mother. She had not heard that George had cashed any of the checks, and refused to believe it. “IT received a message from President Nickerson of the bank Wednesday - after- noon,”’ she said. “He wanted to see me at once. I went down to the bank, ana he told me George had been missing since 1 o'clock, and that he had a number of checks with him when he left the bank. I was wor- ried when I came home, and sat up until nearly midnight waiting for George. He did not come home, and I went to bed. About 5 o’clock Thursday morning I heard somebody cough in George's room, I opened the door and saw him sitting on the edge of his bed, partially dressed. He had hiy head in his hands, and seemed worried “He didn’t answer when I first spoke to him. I asked him @ second time {ff there was anything the matter. He said ‘No.’ “ ‘Where have you been?’ I asked, “*at the bank,’ hé answered. “Were you at the bank all afternoon? 1 annie. looked at me in a startled way ana then jumped up and began to dress. “T went to the xivenes. ag back Geo was gone. ve ere he went, ie waa a boy and I said: 4 run away.

The corrected checks re- turned to the bank by the boy’s mother amounted to $6,434, showing that the boy had done at least a part of his work. What became of the $250.79 difference is a mys- tery. The bank officials are at loss to account for the boy’s actions, as his conduct has been exemplary. The boy is the second son of the late George F. Murphy, cashier of the Citizens’ Bank, who revealed a shortage of $10,009 by turning over his insurance policies to the institution on his deathbed. Part of the money taken was used by the cashier to make restitution for money misappropri- ated by his eldest son. TELEGRAPH BRIEFS. The “Baroness Blanc” is going to sing and dance on the stage. W.

DESERTED BY HIS FAMILY IN HIS LAST HOURS. HIS RELATIVES WELL-TO-DO. There Was an Estrangement, and It Is Said They Ignored His Dying Request to Visit Him, William Selby, for many years a resi- dent of St. Louis, died at the City Hospital Friday morning. The family of the de- ceased live at 1215 Jones street in a fash- ionable flat. The appearance of the Selby home does not indicate that the head of the household would pass his last hours in a city hospital. The general appearance of the place indicates prosperity. Among the relatives of the deceased are some well-to-do St. Louls people. Samuel Selby, a son of the deceased, is employed as a book-keeper at the Houston grocery house on Spruce street. Other relatives are holding lucrative positions of trust. There was an estrangement between Sel- by and his family several months ago. Last fall the old man went to the Globe Hotel on North Sixth street and engaged lodg- ing. His quarters there were of the cheap- est. There he remained until last Tusstey: when his condition became so serious ths he was removed to the City Hospital, The doctors pronounced his affliction eryeporee. Before he left the Globe Hotel face was swollen in a frightful manner, for a week prior to his removal he was scarcely able to move about. Attaches of the Globe Hotel told a re rter for the Post-Dispatch Friday morn- ld man sent the Selby home on Jones street Friday morning. A well-dressed woman appeared at the door.

EXPECTS MANY GOOD RESULTS. The Venerable Southern Methodist Gossips of His Fifty Years in the Pulpit. ¥ The announcement that the Rev. Dr. John Mathews, the venerable pastor of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is to preach in the Century Theater Sunday evening has been received with a great deal of interest by those church peo- ple who know the minister's power in the pulpit and who believe that some of the seeds sown by him will take root. Many people in S8t. Louts know Dr. Maihews, and many more will know him after Bunday, for the theater will certainly be crowded, and in that congregation there will be numbers who might be reached in no other way, men too busy to pause and listen to the Salvation Army's detachments or the Gospel Wagon, and yet who never go to church. The Rev. Dr. Mathews is one of the most popular preachers in St. Louis, He is not much of an oraior and pays little attention to rhetoric, to siyle and the selection of words. He is simply a homely preacher, a man whose very personal appearance at- tracts attention, and who is able to hold it by the force of his earnestness. He imself jaughingly declares he has no dig- nity in the pulpit, and to that ‘he attributes in a measure whatever popularity he may have. He has a seemingly inexhaust- fbie fund of old-fashioned stories and an- ecdotes, but every one of them has a strong moral which the venerable preacher well knows how to point.. In his home at 3441 Pine street are many handsome articles of vertu and bric-a-brac, handsome furniture and fine preteres, but probably that which the eld gentieman rizes above them all is a simple little gilt rame hung in the alcove of the hallway. In this frame is a copy of the resolutions presented Dr. Mathews by the Epworth yeague in December of last year, when he completed his fiftieth year as a minister. Dr. Mathews talked entertainingly to a Post-Dispatch reporter of his work in this city, of missions in genera’. and of the reasons which induced him finally to consent to preach outside his own church. The doc- tor is of fine pom appearance, well pro- portioned and upright, stalwart and active enough to shame many a man twenty years his junior. His face is smooth-shaven and but lightly touched by the wrinkling hand of time, his forehead is broad and high, and is surmounted by the thin gray hair which, more than anything else, .shows his age. But his, eyes, gentle, kindly and twinkling behind his gold-rimmed spectacles, do their share to attract the friendship and the love of all brought into contact with him. “While it may be a departure to preach in theaters in St, Le@uis, yet it is no new thing for me, and many preachers, in that kind of a pulpit, have been the means of doing much good. In New Orleans, where I was stationed for several years, I preached in the theaters a number of times, and was told I accomplished some littie good. “During the ten or eleven years I have been in Bt. Louis I have preached four or five times in the Exposition Building, but I had to give it up. The strain upon my voice was too much, although my hearers said my voice was audible to the remotest corner of the hall. Yet each time I did myself more harm than would have re- sulted from fifty sermons in my own church, “Some days ago I was requested to preach in the theater Sunday evening, but I de- clined, not wishing to give up my Sunday vening services in my own ahurch,. Every Bunday night Centenary Church is crowded with people, many of them not church mem- bers or church-goers, but they seem to like what they hear and come again. To use a church phrase, our church jis in what is, call a state of grace. Great interest is manifested, and there is never a Sunday but that we have from two to twenty con- versions and additions to the church. I was unwilling to seem to pause or halt in this work by giving up my Sunday night serv- ices, but some of my leading members thought I could do more good in the theater, and,“upon the agreement that the Sunday night services in Centenary would not be qoandonee, I consented to preach in the Century eater,”’ “Do you think the down town field a fer- tile one?’ was asked the minister. “Certainly; in every large city there is an element of the population out of the way of churches, These men may be at work al! the week and may devote Sunday to recrea- tion or pleasure, or they may be idlers, who do not associate the going to hear preach- a theater with oiling to church. When we get them to the theater who knows where the seeds may fall among them? The earliest preachers of the gospe) preached where a few persons eould be gotten together.” “Dr. Mathews, to what, looking back over your fifty-one years as a minister, do _— attribute your success?” was asked by he reporter. “To work, and constant work, at that,” was the response. “Here am I, a man who has lived out Ris allotted three score and ten, yet to-day I made thirty-seven visits among the people of my congregation. The aan | before I got around among as many, ep I expect to do as well to-morrow. y congregation is a mixed one.

DOGS, A PHONE AND A JOKER. Excitement in the Vicinity of the Miss issippi River Commission. Bémebody called up the Four Courts Thursday afternoon and with the aid of electricity there began a conversation that caused no little tro. le. The person at one end of the wire was in dead earnest; the other was a joker. The dead earnest man.called out: “Is that you, Matt?’ “O, yes it's me.” ‘How much do you want for those big dogs in front of your property?’ “Those what?” “Those dogs."’ “I don’t want ‘em. You can have ‘em. Just take ‘em away.” “What? Can I have 'em for hauling ‘em *Cert.”’ Then Central heard somebody call “off No. ——’’ and the earpieces were hung up. “Wonder who that fellow was and what he meant?’ said the joker as he took a seat. Three hours later a wagon with three or four men therein drove up in front of the house occupied by the Mississippi River Commission, 2732 Pine street. The men jumped out armed with crowbars and Started to dislodge one of the big cast iron dogs thet guard the entrance. Each weighs at least a ton and they were some time ar- ranging the levers. “Hi there! hi there!’ yelled somebody coming from within. ‘“‘What y’re doing?’ ‘Taking the dogs.”’ “Who told you?’ “The boss."’ The man disappeared in the house and there was evidently a police call sent in for soon along same a sergeant and several men. The sergeant stopped the work and said permission must be obtained from Mr. Knapp, owner of the building, before the dogs could be removed. “Our boss had it by “phone,” said one of the men. “You must have it in writing,” said the policeman. The wagon drove away. The police forgot to ascertain the names of those in the ve- hicle or who sent them. FOR A PERMANENT ORCHESTRA. Ladies Interested Will Meet at Mary Institute. Saturday morning prominent society wo- men interested in ygecing the Choral Sym- phony Orchestra on a permanent basis wil! meet and endeavor to formulate a plan. The present intention is to raise a guar- antee fund of $12,000. This, with the income of twelve evening concerts and four mat- inees, will, it is thought, be sufficient to in- crease the orchestra to sixty-five members and put them on salary. If the guarantee fund can be raised ar- rangements for next season's work will be undertaken at once. The evening con- certs will be divided into four choral, four symphony and four popular concerts. The matinees are principally for music lovers in the suburbs, who cannot attend the evening concerts conveniently. The determination of the society to in- crease the number of its corfcerts is peculiar in view of the fact that their unwilling- ness to do so three years ago caused Mr. Joseph Otten’s resignation. He ins‘sted that it was the vital step necessary to make the orchestra permanent. The society is be- ginning now where itt left off three years ago, but the reawakening is earnest. With the assistance of the ladies of St. WLouts who have agreed to shoulder the labor, the movement should be crowned with success. All mus'‘c lovers are welcomed to Satur- day's meeting at Mary Institute at 10 o'clock. Everybody present will be entitled to vote on any question or proposition that may arise. OHIO PEOPLE FEAST. Eiaborate Banquet to Be Given at the Planters’ Friday Night. The St. Louls society of Ohlioans will ban- quet at the Planters’ Friday night. The oc- casion is in commemoration of the ninety- fifth anniversary of Ohio Statehood. The Ohio Society was organized a few months ago and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular clubs in the city. It is expected that about 200 men and wom- en will participate in the Buckeye feast. The dinner will begin at 7 o'clock. An interest- ing programme has been arranged, consist- ing of speeches, music and recitations. This is the Initial spread given by the society. MINE LA MOTTE SOLD. S. H. Leathe Buys the Missouri Lead Fields for $300,000 The Mine La Motte lead mining claim of Southeast Missouri, has been transferred by R. Hazzard of New York to 8S. H. Leathe of this city for a cash consideration of $300,000. The mine is.on the southern border of the Platte river lead belt, on the St. Francis river in St. Francis and Madison Counties, and covers séveral hundred acres. It is the intention of the purchaser to work the prop- erty on a more extensive scale, and the pres- ent force of 300 men will be nearly doubled. The plant is in excellent order, but some changes, mainly additions, will be made. That lead region is pronounced one of the most profitable in America. Union Club Musicale. The Union Club’s season of entertainment closed Thursday evening with a concert and dance. The musical programme in- cluded solos by A. IL. Epstein, piano; Jos. Buse, tenor; Miss Lucy Moll, violin; Miss Bistella Spies, soprano; Arthur B. Wood- ward, ‘cello; rs. W. A. Bonsack, alto; Miss Josie Ludwig, sopranogand a trio by Miss Mol] and Messrs.

The Southern History Co. will shortly ts- gue an encyclopedia of the history of St. Louls from the first settlement to the resent year, in four large quarto volumes. iNiam Hyde, formerly editor-in-chief of the Missouri Republican, is editing the work. It is Mr. Hyde's object to so arrange the cyclopedia that the reader can turn as readily to a subject as he does a word in the dictionary. Death of Levi Surface. Levi L.

CHARLES STS. 74) ve «ee Ae 2 TWO FAMILIES IN ONE FRAIL BOAT A FLOOD SUFFERER TELLS HIS ADVENTURES. SAW. HIS NEIGHBORS DROWN. John Langton and John Kelsey Have Lost All Fear of the Great River. Seven persons and a dog started in a skiff Friday morning down the Mississippi. A man clad in a thin suit of homespun sat in the bow, boat hook in hand, to ward off driftwood. The dog stood near him. On the forward thwarts was another man sim- llarly clad, who held the oars, Two women occupied the next seat and were glad they were compelled to sit so close together, for they were clad in ging- ham and wore poke bonnets. A little boy sat on the bottom at their feet, and wrapped himself in a quilt. On the after seat was another woman, also in gingham and poke bonnet. She held in her arms a baby of 8 months. The men are John Langton and John Kel- sey. They, their wives and children are, flood refugees from the South. They are clad just as they were three weeks ago, when on a balmy spring night the water, rushing through a crevasse, carried away their Eons and they were compelled to fles with such property as they could lay their hands on. Behind the little skiff which carried the two families was a second boat kept In tow. It was laden to the gunwale with bedding, boxes, an oi] stove, some canned goods, several fish nets and an old rifle This was all the personal property that John Langton and John Kelsey had saved from the angry waters. Fully a thousand persons athered near the Anchor Line wharf boat riday morn- ing at 8 o’clock and witnessed the loading of one skiff with chattels and of the other with humanity. Then this crowd gave a mighty cheer when the little boats pulled out, bobbed up and down as they were caught in lines that held a big steamer to the wharf- men and women ducking their heads—then swung out in the current and were borne swiftly down stream, little waves lapping over the gunwale, which was almost on a rate ine, "Oe oon who bade the travelers God speed were roustabouts and recop.ized that only dire distress caused the perilous trip. “They won't go ten miles before they cap- ize,’’ said one. : “They'll upset when they catch the water from the first steamer,” said another. All watched the deep-laden skiff with | another as deeply laden in tow until the two | disappeared in the haze that had gathered over the Mississippi. > ; ee “Pe eee yy | Several of the roustabouts had urged the men not to put out and warned them that such heavily laden boats could not live long in the treacherous current. The smaller of the two men laughed. “‘Pardner,”’ said he in words of soft South- ern accentuation, “if you'd been thro’ what we have I reckon you wouldn't be afeered. ‘Sides, what if we do go to the bottom? It’s better than starvin’, ain't it?’ It was then that John Langton, the speaker, told his story to a Post-Dispatch reporter. First he pused several letters from his pocket. The had been wet and were soiled, but lines of hearty recommen- Gation could be deciphered and the signa- tures were those of wealthy planters of Louisiana. One letter, signed by Henry Troninger, of Atherton post-office, was ad-— dressed to the Anchor Line and asked that John Langton and wife, flood refugees, be given transportation North and he would meet the expense. “I kept a landing stage at Point Lookout, La., for the Anchor Line,” said Langton. “T had a nice little house on the other side of the bank and last fall my wife and I had fitted it out throughout. About three weeks ago—I disremember the date—there Was a crevasse above our place and th water swept in. I heard it coming a3! @ felled to Mary. She was undressing fo. | ved and just had time to slip on her gown. | I ran down with some guilts and some foo @! and we got into the skiff just as the water?’ came. I was pulling out when I heard a cry. Then I thought of my neighbor, Sam Winters. He came from some part here- abouts. I saw him, his wife and four chil- dren in a skiff and called to him to look out for I saw a big log coming. He couldn't ull out of the way and over went his skiff. saw him dive and I think he was trying to save the baby. But he didn’t. I pulled toward him, but he went down. All of ’em went down. “Three days and three nights wife and I rowed around in the skift through the woods. In daylight we could pull up to the levee but at night we didn’t dare. Several times we were shot at. “On the fourth day we were taken aboard a steamboat with our skiff. They took us aB far as Vicksburg. We were in Vicks- burg a week and then I got the Anchor Line people to give me a passage to St. Louls on the letters I had. But when the boat, which was the City of St. Louis, started the mate said we couldn’t have any- thing to eat unless we gave up our skiff, and I had to doso. We arrived at St. Louis Tuesday night. On the steamer I met John Kelsey of Bolivar, Miss. He had his wife, her sister and his two children with him. They also had lost all but a little bedding, and they had been four days and nights in their skiff. Kelsey was better off than I for he had $100. “We tried Wednesday and Thursday to find work in 8t. Louis and couldn't. Then Kelsey sald he would buy another sk‘ff in which we would load our property and we could all bunch into his. He said we could make a living fishing at Sulphur Springs in Missouri, and so we decided to start. “Our families lived in a room over &@ sa- loon since we arrived. “Now we are off, and I don’t much care whether we go to the bottom or not.” Funeral of Dr. George Alvord. The remains of Dr. George Edgerton Alvord, who died suddenly last Monday at his home in Butte, Mont., were tmterred Friday in Bellefontaine Cemetery. The body was met at Union Station by his fam- ily and friends and taken at once to the piace of interment. a fr @ wi J ‘ Its _ t — ee THROWN UNDER > ee eee +e — ee THE TRAILER. LITTLE JAMES M’HALE FATALLY INJURED BY A CAR. ONE LEG CRUSHED TO PULP. The Child Was Trying to Board a Cass Avenue Electric Train When It Started, James McHale, the eleven-year-old son of Edward McHale, #83 Maffitt avenue, was fatally injured Thursday evening by a Cass avenue electric car at the intersection of St. Louls and Warne avenues. Four sur- geons were in attendance Friday and all expressed doubt that the child would live till night. Thursday evening, just before six o'clock, Mrs. McHale called the lad from his com- panions in play and started him downtown on an errand. It was late and she instruct- ed him to ride. At St. Louls and Warne avenues Jimmy waited foracar. As Cass Avenue and Fair Grounds car No. 10, with trailer No. 8 at- tached, came along the boy signaled Motor- man Luther Lamb. The brakes were ap- plied and the rear platform of the traller came almost to a standstill at the crossing. Conductor Willam Hammond was inside collecting fares. The lad attempted to step aboard, when the car lurched forward, the iron hand rail striking him on the head. He was thrown directly beneath the rear wheels of the trailer, which passed cdver his left leg below the knee, mashing it to a pulp. The loud shouts of horrified eperc- tators attracted the attention of the train crew, and a crowd soon collected around the senseless form. Some one knew. the little victim, and he was tenderly carried home. Messengers were sent in all directions for surgeons, and the father, foreman at Kell Goodfellow's shoe house, was summened by telephone and when he reached home Dre. #. Barge, Dor- sey and Nat Guhman were there. r. Ed- ward Borck, the railway company’s physic- a came later and remained during the n t. Fhe examination showed the left lee from the knee down had been crushed almost flat and nothing but pieces remained of the bone. Bruises were found on the body, and a long. dark discoloration across the fore- head extending over the temple marks the blow struck by the iron hand rail. This may prove the fatal wound. The injuries were dressed, but no attempt was made at operat- ing on the leg. The shock would only hasten the end. There have been no arrrests made. Death Becomes an Expensive Luxury.

A number of years ago, when Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett were playing a joint engagement in the city, they were entertained by Lioyd G. Harris, who took them for a drive to Tower Grove Park. While there Booth admired the magnifi- cent statue of Shakespeare and said: “That is the finest statue of its kind that I have seen in all my travels. I owe much to that man and so does the world.” Lawrence Barrett, who was beside him, echoed his like to have a tree memory,” and Mr. see that it was done, but both died their wishes could be carried out.
