SMITH INJURED. EXPLOSION HEARD FOR MILES. Former Governor of the Soldiers’ Home at Leavenworth Has a Nar- row Escape. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., June 11.—A dia- bolical attempt was made upon the life of Gov. Andrew J. Smith of the National Sol- Home and his wife and daughter between 4 and 5 o’clock this morning by some dastard who is as yet unknown. Dynamite was employed in the outrage, and the explosion, which all but demolished the Governor's beautiful residence, aroused the residents of the city and: houses trembled as if undergoing an earthquake shock. Mrs. Smith had a miraculous escape from death, the base of the explosion being di- rectly beneath her bed-chamber. Besides being cut and bruised by broken glass and pieces of flying bric-a-brac and furniture, she was completely prostrated by the frightful shock and is now in a precarious condition. Gov. Smith and their daughter, Miss Daisy, occupied rooms on the second floor and were far enough removed from the explosion to escape the serious conse- quences suffered by Mrs. Smith. The residence is a scene of wreckage. The brick walls are torn and cracked, one side being almost completely blown out. The windows are shattered and the debris scattered over the grounds for a distance of several rods. The interior is a scene of confusion and destruction, with broken bric-a-brac and furnishings utterly wrecked. The report of the explosion was distinctly heard jn this city, three miles away;-ant?) many residents were aroused by the shock, which was not unlike the trembling pro- duced by an earthquake. Veterans in the barracks were thrown from their cots and @ panic was with difficulty prevented. Gov. Smith attributes the attempt on his life and that of his family as a direct re- sult of the persecution that has been waged against him during the paet five or six years. The veterans at the home are stand- ing by him manfully and swear they will lynch the wretch if he be caught. Joseph W. Oliver, a dishonorably dis- charged veteran, has been arrested by the police of this city. Circumstantial evidence against him is strong. He had just come to his room after being out all night. His clothes were bedragglied and he said he Was sorry the explosion had not killed the Governor, as he deserved such a fate. Oli- ver bears-a rough reputation. A FAST BOAT.

Foley, charged with the murder of his mother and sister, after re- maining out since late yesterday, reported this morning that they were unable to agree upon a verdict. When Foley was led into the room to hear the verdict, he maintained an attitude of composure and stolidity, which was main- tained while it was being read. Judge Broaddus immediately instructed the jury to retire and consider a verdict. “They must reach some decision,” said he.

Three Notorious New Orleans Charac- ters to Be Rewarded for Dirty Election Work. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 11.—The determination of Senator Hanna to appoint three notort- ous characters to the best ‘Federal offices in New Orleans is the basis of a pageé expose in a dispatch to a morning paper to-day under Washington date. They are A. T. Wimberly, Henry Demas and Walter Cohen, and the offices to be filled are Collector of Customs, of Naval Officer and of Surveyor of the Port of New Orleans, It is charged that these men represented McKinley’s interests in Louisiana, that they received money for bribing purposes from “Cousin” Osborne, who went from Boston to New Orleans to manage things, that they bought delegates, and that Osborne also paid cash for votes. When the 8t. Louis Convention met Mark Hanna caused Wimberly’s election as National Commit- teeman over the protest of ex-Gov. War- moth, Kellogg and others. When it was rumored that the President would honor the men protests fairly deluged the White House. Among them was one from nearly one hundred of the most prom- inent women of New Orleans, who in their rotest used the following language, nam- ng A. T. Wimberly, Henry Demas and Walter Cohen: “We respectfully and earnestly protest against their selection. These men are sim- ply infamous im the sight of all honest, decent and self-respecting people. We dare not describe their character or practices, but we earnestly beg of you to have their character and standing in this community ascertained by careful investigation.” In the face of this and other letters equally strong, Senator Hanna on May 6 wrote to the Attorney-General this insulting and impudent note: ‘‘Dear Sir: This will dntroduce A. T. Wim- berly, whom I have recommended for the Collectorship of the Port of New Orleans, and whom I consult concerning the patron- Sse of Louisiarfa. desire you to know ' ter a co tee. went. to.. Washington from New “ars and protested against the appointment. From them and the “letters and affidavits of the Chief of Police and others the’ men are shown to have this record: ’ Wimberly—No social] or commercial stand- ing, no visible means of support, twice re- moved from office for cause by ex-Presi- dent Harrison, one charge being that he another in the lower part of the body. Pand Demas were about to sell the Republi- can votes in the Legislature to the lottery, to which charge he is said to have con- fessed. He is also charged with obtaiuing money under false pretense. Ex-Secretary Foster has protested against his appoint- ment on moral grounds. Demas—That he is reckless, unprincipled and disreputable, having sold his vote asa member of the Louisiana Legislature habitu- ally for money; that he was one of the four State Senators who for $10,000 each deserted from the Packard Legislature to the Nich- olls Legislature in 1877; that he was also owner of two wg omy offices in New Orleans, given him by the lottery company in con- sideration of his support in the Legislature Cohen—That he is the kecper of a gam- bling-house for roustabout negroes on Rsm- art street, and also the proprietor of a ow dive in Custom-house street, both of which he put into a relative’s hanus when he became a candidate. Senator Hanna has notified the President trat he must stand by the men, and Mc- Kinley 1s dn a quandary. It 1s alleged in most positive terms that the Fresident ad- mitted that the 6 ee wig © of Wimberly was one not fit to be made, but that Hunna was his fr'end. Hanna has also stated that Demas and Cohen were good enough to du his (Hanna’s) work down theic, «nd he had relied upon them to do work that the Leulsivna anters and other inen who claimed te be for McKinley declined to do; “That these men were the only men they ceuld look.to for assistance, and if tney were good enough for their work when they necded them, they were good enough to recognized for doing it.”’ f+ My s _ (0 SOL . al ) yy Ae r ‘6 : MISS MARIE CONDE, THE GIRL ENSIGN STONE LOVES.

Johnson Tells Judge Fisse How He Was Slugged for Refusing to Give His Aid. The trial of C. William Mueller, James J. Moran, C. H. Shokmiller, Thomas F. Carey and Thomas F. Dunn, charged with having violated the election laws in Precinct 9, Fourteenth Ward, on May 18, the date of the recent School Board election, was begun in the Court of Criminal Corrections Friday morning. The audience resembled the crowd at a ward convention, but the politicians who were present were not of the better class. Ed Butler was in the room for a few min- utes, but left in disgust, after he heard a court attache say that the Judge would cer- tainly hold the men. Judge Murphy, true to his resolve, being still absent, Willlam G. Fisse, who was ap- pointed by the Circuit Court to fill the va- cancy, again took the bench. The five defendants, all young men, were well dressed and appeared quite _ intelil- gent. They were represented by Attorneys Ford Smith and John Gernez. Mr. G. W. Jones, Chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, was the first witness. He identified a paper upon which were recorded the names of Judges and Clerks appointed by the. Election Commis- sioners to serve on May 18, and described how the appointments were made. John Moore, a clerk for the Board, also identified the paper and it was introduced as evidence. It shows that the above named defendants were the judges and clerks at Precinct 9, Fourteenth Ward, and the name of Richard M. Johnson is also given as clerk. Mr. Gernez objected to the paper being ad- mitted, as it was a carbon copy, but Judge Fisse ruled that Chairman Jones’ identifi- cation was sufficient, and it became a part of the records. Richard W. Johnson, the principal wit- ness, was called at noon. He is the Repub- lican clerk who objected to the irregular- ities on the part of his associates and was assaulted and kicked out of the polling lace. P'He described how the poll books were signed early In the day, “to save time, 4s the judges said. Then he told how, when the count was made, numbers were placed opposite candidates’ names without refer- ence to the ballots. At this stage he ob- jected and taking a pen drew a mark through his name. For this, Dunn, the other clerk, jumped on him, and he was kicked out of the room, “Who struck you the first blow?” asked Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill. “Thomas Dunn, the other clerk. “What happened then?” “I don’t know. They all jumped on me and I was 6o dazed that I do not remember what happened.” “When did this occur?’ ‘“As the ballots were being counted, soon after the polis closed.” “Did you return?” a “No, sir, I was too badly hurt. Mr. Mulvihill asked the witness to iden- tify the poll books and tally sheets kept in the precinct. He did so and the documents were introduced in evidence. The witness was turped over for cross- examination and shere followed an argu- ment as to who should conduct the same. Mr. Gernez said he represented all the de- fendants and that Mr. Smith represented but two. The court finally permitted Mr. Gernez to vroceed. ' The witness was questioned regarding his absence from the room during the day, and said he had gone out three times and pos- sibly was absent in all two hours. “Why did you scratch your name from the book?’ “Because I saw Dunn put down the num- ber 141 opposite a man 4, RAMA, when there were votes cast. tt Homan 4 A asked if Schokmiller did not rotest against the procedure as well as e. ee 1d.”" Q “And dia 7 not call upon you the follow- ing morning and say that he would visit the Election Commissioners and have his name scratched trom the book?’ PS eee ts id : “Not to a FOURTEENTH WARD FRAUDS.’ Election’ SB he 9 0 ete | AMES FRENCH WAS, HANGED. | ROCKFORD WIFE MURDERER SWUNG INTO ETERNITY.

Jim French fell through the drop into eternity, avenging the murder of his wife and fulfilling the sentence of the court. He kept his nerve to the last, telling Sheriff Oliver that he had nothing to say and ‘‘am in the hands of my spiritual advisers.” After his legs and arms were pinioned the shroud was put on him and the cap , = a3 ty ab yy f Rye» JAMES FRENCH. adjusted. French either lost his balance or fainted and was supported for a second by the deputies and the drop sprung. French’s neck was broken and physicians say that death was instantaneous. The body was cut down after thirteen minutes’ sus- pension. French awoke at 4:30 from an apparently sound sleep and seemed refreshed.

TOOK MRS. SCHOON’S. PURSE. The Footpad Shoved Her Against the Wall at St. Charles Street and Choked Her. Mrs. Carrie Schoon was the victim of a bold highway robbery in the very heart of the down-town district just at dusk. Mrs. Schoon lives at 3866 Marine avenue. She went up town to do some shopping. She had visited some of the big depart- ment stores on North Broadway, and was walking south on Broadway to make other purchases before taking a car home. She had a number of bundles in her arms, and the busy thoroughfare was crowded with pedestrians. She hurried across St. Charles street, and just as she stepped on the pavement on the south side of the street, a large and roughly-clad man, wearing a slouch hat and dark clothes, brushed against her. She did not realize that the collision was intentional on the man’s part, and she hastily stepped to one eide. The fellow saw his advantage. Mrs. Schoon was on the western edge of the pavement, and it was an easy matter for him to give her a shove and send her sev- eral feet west on St. Charles street. He sprang upon her and, pressing her close against the side of the building, choked her with one hand to prevent her from scream- ing, while he used the other hand to se!ze her purse. The whole thing occupied but a few sec- onds. Before Mrs. Schoon realized her situ- ation she was released and the footpad was scudding west on St. Charles street. She watched him in a dazed sort of fashion and saw him dart into an ailey and dis- appear. Then she saw a policeman itn wniform walking gayly south on Broadway. He was twirling bis cane, but stopped when he was accosted by Mrs. Schoon. She told him of her experience and gave as accurate a description of her assailant as her fright would permit. Mrs. Schoon said she had about $5 in her purse when it was taken from her. The policeman went In search of the highway- man and Mrs. Schoon went home. When the policeman failed to overtake the rob- ber he went to the police station and made out a report, which was promptly sup- pressed at headquarters. THE WEATHER __ FORECAST. SHOWERS AND COOLER.

WIFE CHARGES _ INFIDELITY, Mr. Marder Is Manager of the Central Type Foundry and Is Well Known About Town. Walter S. Marder, manager of the Central Type Foundry and a well-known figure about town, was notified by a Sheriff's Deputy, Friday morning, that sult for di- vorce has been instituted against him in the Circuit Court by hig wife, Franc R. Marder. The couple lived, until] a few months ago, in a swell house at 4411 McPherson avenue, from whence the wife removed to the Franklin, a family hotel at the corner of Grand and Washington avenues. The separation of husband and wife took place April 19 last. Recently Mrs. Marder announced that she and would probably remain away during the summer. The filing of her suit for divorce by her attorney, Robert L. McLargn, shows she is not very far away. Mrs. Marder was formerly Miss France Robbins. She was married to Mr, Marder at her home, in Chicago, January 12, 1893, and it is recalled that the couple were re- ceived in the best St. Louis society with demonstrations of pleasure. There were high teas and receptions with- out number and for a whok year their lot appeared to be a very happy one. But the fair petitioner now avers that in January, 1894, Mr. Marder began to neg- lect his wife and seek the society of other women. In the language of the papers, he “adopt- ed and followed in the year 18% and ever since then a course of inhuman and ime proper treatment of plaintiff and has con- tinuously for the past three years offered to the plaintiff such indignities as to render her condition intolerable.” Wherefore she aske a decree of absolute divorce with the restoration of her maiden name of Robbins. Mrs. Marder further avers that between January, 184, and January, 1897, Mr. Mar- der “committed adultery with different wo- plaintiff.” This sult was instituted several days ago, but did not appear on the divorce entry, a deputy clerk giving as a reason that Mra, Marder’s name was mistaken for that of @ man, and the case was put on the record of business suits. However that may be, it resulted in a suppression of the news. The case has been assigned to Judge Klein’s court, room No. 1, and will come up for a hearing at the June term. It was rumored that Mr. Marder had filed a cross-bill, stating his side of the contro- versy and poe oy Ah nme nid charges, but no papers could found to show he had made such a move, leaving the probabilities in favor of his permitting judgment to be entered by default. The late home of the Marders is now a fashionable boarding house, kept by Miss L. D. Crump. During the residence of the couple there and just after the!r removal to the Franklin they had trouble and there were stories of a scandalous nature circu- lated. When the wife left for Denver her mail was said to have been forwarded by her husband, who remained for two _ wee at the hotel. Her parents reside in Denver. Mr. McLaran, attorney for plaintiff, said: “TI see no reason ise | this suit should be deemed sensational. t ave no chil- id ;them to- Louis to-day. °o her relatives, but she will return In amole time to appear in court. “T have received no notice of a cross-bi and the probabilities are that the suit wi not be contested. Further than that I have nothing to say.” A reporter found Mr, Marder shortly be- fore 3 o’clock and was directed to see attorney, C. C. Collins. The latter there would be no cross-bill and int snes A Marder's suit would not be con- tested. KIRTLEY’S CASE CONTINUED. Macon County. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Anda $25,000 Wagon Factory Struck by Lightning and De- stroyed. DENVER, Colo., June 11.—Four railway Washouts, a $25,000 fire and a host of minor losses, sum up the evil results of the storm which prevailed in Denver and the soutb- eastern gection of the State generally, from near 7 o'clock last evening untill a little after midnight. A cloudpurst on the slope of Pike’s Peak shut off traffic on the Rio Grande and Midland lines between Manitcu and Colorado Springs. Sixteen miles out of Denver the Julesburg tracks were washed out in spots for miles in length, leaving ihe 10:3) o'clock Union Pacific train for CAIERSO at a standstill at the Union Depot. The washout.on.the Buriington & Missouri Road eccurred- near Barr Station, so the 9:60 train over that line for the east was not able to leave Denver-’until this morning. Men were at work all night repairing the damages done by the storm. According to the Weather Bureau report, 83 of an inch fell in Denver between and 10:10 o'clock. From the time the storm reached its height until travel ceased upon the streeta:the car lines were either inope- rative altogether or gave but poor service. Many parts of the city were flooded to a depth of several feet, numbers of families having to abandon their homes. It is feared that ranchmen living in the lowlands to the east of this point have lost heavily in stock and. buildings by the night's floods. The storm was general all over South- western Colorado.

The law is plain and the police have started out to enforce it. This activity has met with organized re- Sistance upon the ground that the law works vast hardships and is impossible to carry out, and therefore must be unconst!i- tutional. Attorneys Lewis A, Steber and H. A. Loevy urged this point at length, but he court would not entertain the point, In he appeal the city’s right to double tax- ation will also be questioned, it is said, because second-hand dealers now have to pay both a merchant's license and a seo- ond-hand license.

EAST INDIAN FANATICS ATTACK BRITISH TROOPS. SEVERAL OFFICERS KILLED. A Government Escort Attacked in the -Tochi Valley and Almost En- tirely Wiped Ont. BOMBAY, June 1l.—Advices received from Simla, the residence of the Indian Government officials during the heated pe- Tiods of the year, announce serious trouble on the northern frontier and the massacre of a number of British officers and native 800 ' wrecking company have soldiers in the Government employ. From the particulars obtainable at present, it seems that two guns belonging to a Bom- bay mounted battery, escorted by 300 men belonging to the ist Regiment of Sikhas, | | 4nd che Ist Punjab Infantry, were treacher- ously, attacked in the Tochi Valley by a | large force of hostile natives, | The first reports said that Col. Bunriey, | two Officers and twenty-five privates had been killed and that three officers and | twenty-five men had been wounded. In ad- dition, a number of mules and horses are. reported killed. Indications are that the affair is more than a mere conflict with warlike natives, and that the notor!ous Mullah of Powindah is at the bottom of the trouble. The latest. advices are that a political officer, Mr. Mc- | Gee, was visiting Shirani with an escort of troops, when he was attacked at Maiza by vastly superior forces. The British traops were.contpelled to retreat and were followed for several miles by overwhelming numbers of the enemy The fighting was desperate. All the British officers were severely wound- ed. Capt. Brown of the First Sikhas, a son of the iate Sir James Browne, and Lieut. ' Crookshank. of the Royal Artillery were k led, and Surgeon Higginson, Lieut. H’g- g.nson of the First Sikhas, and Lieut. Sea- ton-Browne of the Punjab Infantry were wounded. The second dispatch does not mention the death of Col. Bunney, but from the fact that it says that Col, Gray from M'‘ranshah has taken over the command of the British force engaged, it ‘s inferred that Col, Bunney is also among the dead, as at first announced. Tochi Valley lies north of Gumal and on the road to Ghuseni and Waziristan. It has been controlled by the British since the delimation of the Indo-Afghan frontier, the tribes there have always been turbulent and | fears felt lest the other tribes rise against th: British. | The Mullah of Powindah Its well known to the British Indian authorities. He is a no- torious fanatical priest and hae always been host'le to British influence. Owing to an attempt which the Mullah recently mafle to he was exp:lled from territory. This caused him to be deserted by his own people and he has lived in Afghanistan and is understood to have been actively plotting against the Br'tish- He took part in the attack upon the British camp at Wano, in November, 1894.

The British lost about twenty-five private | soldiers and twenty camp followers killed before the Waziris were repulsed, the lat- ter left over 250 dead on the field. STATE BUREAU OF MINES. May Be Removed From Jefferson City to St. Louis. The merry war at Jefferson City over the location in the State Capitol Bbilliding te be assigned to the Insurance Department has broken out in a fresh place. ) Those who have watched the progress of this controversy had reached the conclusion that when the Board of Railroad Commis- | sioners refused to consider a change in their quarters, and news came that'the Bureau of Geology and Mines would be compelled to move into other rooms, ‘‘peace would tinkle on the shepherds’ bells and ring among the | reapers.”’ | But they were mistaken. Railroad Commissioner Hennessey, who' came down to the city Friday morning, said | to a Post-Dispatch reporter: | “Nothing has been decided yet as to the! rooms which Insurance ‘Superintendent Orear will occupy. The Commissioners of the | Permanent Seat of Government think the Bureau of Geology should move out, and one or two favor its removal to a point where its value will be better known. There is talk of Sedalia, St. Louis and the State University as the proper location, but the people of Jefferson City are using their in- fluence to keep the bureau at the State Capitol. “Maybe the Board of Geology will have something to say about where its bureau shall be, and they may determine it ought to remAin at the capital. Still, the commis- sioners, as I understand it, have full power to determine the location of offices inside the Capitol building. I think the Railroad Commissioners are safe.”’ NURSING JOBS. ; Several Missourians Doing Time at Washington. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—Col. R. H.

Weyler Continues to Wreak Vengeance on the Helpless, NDW YORK, June 11.—A dispatch from Havana says: Weyler continues his perse- cution of helpless Guban women who have reiatives in the rebel ranks.

SPANISH PRESS COMMENTS. Calhoun Is Denounced for Telling the Truth. HAVANA, Via Key West, Fla., June 11.— Some points of the Calhoun interview in New York have reached Havana, and the Spaniards are wrought up over it. El Com- merclo denounces the American envoy in scathing terms, and declares that it is a foregune conclusion that his report will be hostile to Spain. It adds: “As it is well known that Gen. Lee sur- rounds himself with informers who are hos- tile to Spain and from which source Cal- houn derived all his information, it is only to be expected that Yankee jingoism will re- ceive another impetus from the report that Calhoun will make. He was sent to make just such a report, and of course he had to do it to earn his money.” CHEERING NEWS. Gen. Palma Receives Good Tidings From the Cuban Interior. NEW YORK, June 11.—Gen.

The killing of Catherine Blake French by the man who to-day swung into eternity Is the old, old story of mad Italian jealousy. Seven bullet wounds inflicted upon the body of his wife, two of which were immediately fatal, followed by an ali but successful at- tempt at killing a daring pursuer and an essay at suicide is the record James French made on the quiet Sabbath after- noon of July 19, 1896. For half a dozen years the slayer of his wife and attempted murder. er of her numerous relatives lived in Rock- ford and was known as James French although ‘before the trial he both affirmed and denied that this was his true name, He was an Italian by birth and in a month would have been 27 years old. For a live- lihood he conducted a cigar store and worked as a journeyman tailor. In May, 1890, he married Catherine Blake, against the wishes of her mother and brothers. She often was in charge of the store, while French -was away at work, and the hus- band, naturally very jealous, imagined his wife unfaithful to him. On the fatal Sunday morning Mrs. French for the first time in several days left her mother’s home and started on a mission of charity. It was while returning from the cick bed of a friend that French made the fatal assault upon her. : While walking on North Winnenago street Mrs. French discovered that her hus- band was following her, and, seeing a friend a block off, hastened to meet her. French rapidly approached the two and ex- claimed: i “IT am going to kill you, d—n you. He whipped a pistol from his pocket, pointed,it at his wife and fired, the bullet piercing her pbreast.. Mrs. French’s com- panion fainted, and the mortally wounded woman, with her frenzied husband in close pursuit, ran acrose the street to the door of a residénce. There Mrs. French was unable to open the screen door and was killed like a ratin a trap. The struggle on the steps was an awful one, and “oa, madly clutching his wife’s arm, poure shot after ehot into her sinking form, emp- tying two revolvers. The poor woman's screams of ‘‘He’s kill- ing me! He’s killing me!” roused the neighborhood, and French rushed into the house, followed closely by the crowd which had collected. In his flight he wounded one of them in the wrist. Without a glance at the bleeding form of his wife, French leaped over her and dashed out of the door, turning east toward the river. When he reached the bank he plunged in headlong, after a futile attempt to unfasten a boat moored at a private landing. In a moment officers and citizens lined the bank, and: French, giving away to his orig- inal design, fired a bullet into his own head. It was not fatal, however, and he was soon pulled ashore and hurried to the County Jail in a patrol wagon, which he has not since kft only during his trial. He was indicted at the next term of court, but his legal counsel was changed, and the case put over until the April term, when it came to trial. The jury was out exactly an hour, taking but one ballot, a unanimous vote for guilt and the infliction of the death penalty. JAMES M. GORDY HANGED. He Suffered the Penalty for Killing His Wife. GEORGETOWN, Del., June 11.—James M. Gordy was hanged at 10:23 o'clock this morning for the murder of his wife. He died game, and protested his innocence to the last. Gordy made a statement on the scaffold. He reviewed at length the evidence on which he had been convicted, pointing out what he considered the ineonsistencies therein, suggesting connivance of his sister- in-law with the detectives to secure his conviction. His greatest grievance, however, was against the newspapers. In this connec- tion he said: “In regard to the newspapers, I'm sorry people believe all they say. The are the greatest falsifiers I ever heard of, and are largely responsible for people thinking go ill of me to-day. I hanks God though that the day will come when news- paper men will have to give an account for the deeds done in the body. “To all I say I oe8-by, You believe I’m ilty. God and I know Iam not. I Noleve am going to heaven. I do hope you who hear and those that read my statement will ultimately enter the rest thet remains for the people of God. Farewell.” The crime for which Gordy was hung was the murder of a woman whom he had mar- ried in New York only about two weeks before.

Charles Summers, a clerk dwelling at 118 Clark street, admitted the charge of up- setting his table in the course of dinner and acting generally ugly to his wife, be- fore Judge Peabody, on Friday. He said it was his own table, his money paid for the victuals and his wife cooked the meal, so he had the right to play smash with things as long as Mrs. Summers entered no com- plaint against him. Mrs. Summers was in court, stout ‘and rosy, dressed in blue gingham and a well starched bonnet, and between quick breaths she admitted that Charles had done every- thing entered against him on the calendar, but she also considered it within the pale of domestic privacy and thought the court should take no cognizance of the matter. “How, then, did you get into court?” asked his honor. “The neighbors are jealous of our happy home life,”’ said Mrs. Summers, “and as soon as they heard the fuss they entered complaints against my husband. Charles was a little drunk and got mad because neighbors wanted to borrow 50 cents from me—that was all there was to it. -When I did not get the loan and Charles upset the table they ran out and called a policeman. We resent such interference, as we are happy and well satisfied with each other.” The court said if the couple felt ag rieved at the publicity given them he would exact a cost of only $ for Charles’ rash gestures. Upon learning the family comprised five children and lived on but $9 a week the fine was reduced to costs. LILY RAY HAS A PULL. Woman Who Threatened Peabody’s Life Protected by Friends in Office. Capt. Peter Joyce of the Fourth District has appealed to Chief Harrigan asking that the strange influence Lily Ray, a notorious street walker, seems to wield in the police courts be investigated. The Captain's action was precipitated Friday by a report from Patrolman John McGrath, who with Patrolman Kelly ar- rested the woman Thursday night at Tenth street and Washington avenue. When ar- rested she created some excitement by her screams and cureés. Friday morning on the docket in the Becond District Police Court there were two charges entered aga‘nst her, one of being an immoral woman and the other of disturbing the peace. The two policemen were in court to prosecute. In the absence of Mr. Dodge, Mr. Carl Ungar is acting as City Attorney. On his book, oppogite Lily Ray’s name, are the entries of ‘costs’ in the Mnmoral charge and “dism'!ssed for want of prosecution’ for disturbing the ene, McGrath asked r.

Fridoy—St. Louis Post-Visprtch—Iune U1, 1897. w THE PRESIDENT AT NASHVILLE, DISTINGUISHED GUEST OF THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. MADE A PLEASANT SPEECH. Recalled the Glorious Memories of the State and Praised Its Latter- Day Accomplishments. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 11.—This is Ohio day at the Exposition, and large dele- gations of police, militia, members of secret orders and general visitors are here from Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus and Cleve- land, as well as the sinaller cities of the Buckeye State. President McKinley and party arrived at the Union Depot early this morning, having made the trip by slow stages from Washing- ton. They were escorted by the Exposition Executive Committee to the Maxwell House, where they took breakfast, after which Governor Taylor was received. At 10:30 the President and party, accompanied by Gov- ernor Bushnell and his staff, were escorted to the Centennial grounds. The escort also included Gov. Taylor and staff, United States and Tennessee regulars. At 11 o’clock in the Auditorium addresses of welcome were delivered by President Thomas, Mayor McCarthy and Gov. Tay- lor and responses were made by Senator Clark of the Ohio Commission, Gov. Bush- nell and President McKinley. The President in his address expressed his appreciation of the signal honor accorded his native State and congratulated the Governor of Tennes- gee, the Mayor of Nashville and the Presi- dent and Directors of the Exposition upon the success of an enterprise which could not fail to result in improved business relations and a closer commercial union between the North and the South. Luncheon followed the delivery of the addresses. This afternoon at 6 o'clock the President, Mrs. McKinley and the accompanying ladies of the party will hold a reception for ladies in the oman’s Building. ‘To-morrow morning at 11 o’clock the President will hold a public reception in the Auditorium and if he is not called to Washington wil remain to participate in the exercises of Cincinnati day. To-morrow night he is acheduled to leave for Castsencdgs. There was great interest shown in Presi- dent McKinley’s speech to-day and he was greeted with mueh applause. The President said: Officers of the Tennessee Centennial Ex- position, Ladies and Gentlemen: American nationality, compared with that of Europe and the East, is still very young and yet already we are beginning to have 4° enough fog centennial anniversaries in States other than the original thirteen. Such occasions are always interesting and when celebrated in a practical way are useful and instructive. Combining retro- spect and review, they recall what has been done by State and nation and point out what yet remains for both to accom- — in order to fulfill their highest des- iny. This celebration is of general interest to the whole Soupiry and of special significance to people’ of the South and West. It marks the end of the first century of the State of Tennessee and the close of the first year of its second century. One hundred and one yuase ago this State was admitted into the Inion as the sixteenth member in the great family of American commonwealths. It was a welcome addition to the national household—a community — , strong and eturdy, with an honored and herolc an- cestry, with fond anticipations not only of 4Jts founders, but faith in its success on the art of far-seeing and sagacious statesmen n all parts of the pouny Iam justified In geaying that these anticipations have been grandly realized, that the present of this community of sterling worth is even bright- er than prophets of the past had dared to forecast it. The builders of the State who had forced their way through the trackless forests of this splendid domain, brought with them the same. high ideals and fearless devotion to home and country, founded on resistance to oppression, which have made illustrious the Anglo-American name. Whether it was the Territory of Virginia or that of North Carolina, mattered little to them. The came willing and oe gd to fight for independ- ence and liberty and in the war of the revo- lution were ever loyal to the standard of Washington. When their representatives served in the colonial assembly of North Carolina they chose—for the first time in our country, so far as I know-—the great name of Washington for the district in which they lived and at the close of the revolution sought to organize their barr ory. into a State to be known as the State of Franklin, in grateful homage to the name of another of tts most distingufsmhed patriot common- ers. Spain had sought to possess their terri- tory by right og discovery as a part of Flori- da. France claimed it by right of cession as a part of Louisiana and gland as hers “by conquest. But neither contention could for an instant be recognized. Moved by the highest instincts of self-government and the loftiest motives of patriotism, under gal- lant old John Sevier, at King’s Mountain, ‘our forefathers bravely vindicated their ner and gloriously won their independ- ence. Thus came the new State, the second only then of the mighty West and Southwest. And it has made a wonderful history fog, itself. Tennessee has sometimes been calle the ‘“‘Mother of Southwestern statesmen.’ It furnished us the immortal Jackson, whose record in war and whose administration in peace, as the head of the great republic, shines on with the advancing years. The century has only added to the luster of his name, increased the obligations of his countrymen and exalted him in their affec- tion. olk and Johnson also were products of this great State, and many more heroes of distinguished deeds, whose names will come unbidden to your memories while I epeak. Tennesseeans have been ever volunteers not drafted patriots. In 1846, when 400 soldiers were called for, 30,000 loyal Tennes- seeans Offered their services, and amid the trials and terrors of the great Civil War under conditions of peculiar distress and embarrassment, her people divided on con- tending sides. But upon which ever side found, they fought fearlessly to death and gailant sacrifice. Now, happly, there are no contending sides in this glorious common- wealth or in any part of our common coun- try. Then men who opposed each other in dreadful battle a third of a century ago are once more and forever united together un- der one flag and a never-to-be broken union. The glory of Tennessee {s not alone in the | brilliant names it has contributed to history or the heroic patriotism displayed by the — in sO many crises of our national life ut its material and industrial wealth, soctai advancement and population are striking and significant in their growth and de- velopment. Thirty-five thousand settlers in this State in 1790 had increased to 1,108,000 in 1860 and to-day ft has = pepuiesies closely approximating 2,000,000. Its manufactures, which in 1860 were small and unimportant, in 1890 had reached §72,000,000 In value while its farm products now aggregate more than $62,00',000 annually. Its river commerce on three great international waterways: its splendid railways operating nearly three choucené miles of roads; its mineral wealth of incalculable value, form a splendid augury for the future. I am sure no better workmen could be found than the people of Tennessee to turn these confident promises into grand realities. Your exposition shows better than any words of mine can tell the details of your Wealth of resources and power of pro- Guction. You have done wisely in exhibit- ing these to your own people and to your sister States, and at no time could the dis- ay more effective than now, when what the country needs more than al) else is restored confidence in itself.

Citizens of different States, we yet love all the States. The lescon of the hour, then, is thig—that whatever adverse conditions may tempo- rarily impede the pathway of our national ine gy spe nothing can permanently de- eat ‘t. A large number of people from the State of Illinois have been attracted by the dedi- cation of the Illinois Building; a feature of the programme being the presentat:on to the Board of Managers of an exact repro- duction in miniature of the Administration Building of the World’s Columbian Exposi- tion. The entire Chicago Board of Com- missioners, forty in number, accompan'‘ed by their families, were present, and in ad- dition to participating in the informal cere- monies busied themselves with the prelim- inary arrangements for Chicago Day,which has been fixed for Oct. 9—the anniversary of the great Chicago conflagration in 1871. Upon that occasion the entire militia of Tifinois, to the number of nearly 5,000, will be present, together with many times that number of citizens of the Prairie State. JOINED THE JEWS. Preliminary to Miss Belknap Wedding Paul May. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—The most interesting love story Washington has had in the past generation is that of the wooing of Mr. Paul May, the young Jewish attache of the Belgian Legation a year ago, and Miss Belknap, daughter of the ex- Secretary of War. Miss Belknap will renounce her religion and become a Jewess. She will take the “bath of purification’ as a preliminary and will enter fully into the Jewish faith with all the pomp and ceremony befitting the rank of the bride-elect of the scion of the old Belgian family.

Dick Johnson, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, w.ll issue a warrant Saturday, charging Mrs, May Campbell with murder in the first degree. In shooting at her husband in Maud De- vere’s house on Center street, three weeks ago, Mrs. Campbell shot Maud Devere in the knee. Blood poisoning set in and the Devere woman died. Campbell recovered, although shot through the head. Col. Johnson holds that the Campbell woman is guilty of murder in the first degree, in that she was shooting at her husband with the intention of kill- ing him when one of the bullets struck Maud Devere, and a State statute makes that murder in the first degree, although the defendant did not intend to kill Maud Devere. KNIGHTS OF HONOR. The Annual Session Will Continue Nearly a Week Longer. The twenty-fourth annual session of the Knights of Honor, which has been in ges- sion at the Southern Hotel since last Tues- day, will continue a week longer. A vast volume of roufine business is yet to be transacted. Thirty-seven States are repre- sented in the convention, and itis in many respects a notabie body. There was a spirited discussion Friday over the question of allowing benefits to suspended members. Some of the more generousiy inclined members advocated great leniency in regard to the payment of premiums and dues, while others, with an eye to business, entered objections. The question will prob- ably not be settled until the Saturday meet- e. Other routine matters were discussed Friday. Gas Stoves, $1 Down and 50c a Week.

He Interviewed the Secretary and Came to an Understanding of Who Was Supreme Boss. Charles R. Graves. Secretary of the City Council, member of the secret Advisory Committee, Filley’s relative and cuckoo and the little gutta percha Czar of the admin- istration, is still in the saddle. President E. F. W. Meier of the Council tried to unhorse him. but failed dismally. When Mr. Meier was seen he was visibly perturbed. “This is very strange,"’ he said. ‘I don't understand it, There was no such rule in effect when I was in the Council before. The reporters and other interested persons have always been permitted to see bills tn course of passage whenever they wanted. I will see Mr. Graves and ask him for an explanation.’’ After seeing Mr. Graves, he said: “It will be all right; you will have no trouble in the future. I think h!s position on the Witten- berg bill was all right. It had been passed by the House and engrossed. It could be seen over there. But you will not be pre- vented from seéing bills introduced in the Council.” Fr'day morning Mr. Graves was asked for the amateur photographer bill introduced last week. “You can’t see it,’’ he said, quite cheer- fully. “Why? “The rules of the Council forbid it.’’ “But President Meier says we may see Council bills which have been introduced.”’ Mr. Graves hummed a bar of “All Coons Look Alike to Me.” “Mr. Meier did not talk that way to me,” he sald. a still refuse to show the bill.’’ ‘ "es ’* Mr. Meier was told by telephone of Mr. Graves’ deflance. “T can’t understand that,’ he said. ‘Mr. Graves must have misunderstood me. I wi:l come up and see him.’’ Half an hour later the President of the Council stood in the presence of the Sec- retary of the Council. The President was conciliatory. The Secretary was firm. Mr. Meier said very gently that he thoughr Mr. Graves’ position was a little extreme. me Graves said it wasn’t anything of the nd. “Well, let me see the rule,” the President meekly requested. “Here it is.

It is certainly a strange rule. We will huve to see what can be done about it.”’ “UNBALANCED BIDS.” Revised Schedule and Reletting Or- dered for Street Repair Contracts. The Board of Public Improvements talked about “unbalanced bids” for an hour Fri- day without reaching any conclusion. The Committee on Street Department, to which the bids for street repairs were re- ferred Tuesday, reported without recom- mendation. Mr. Holman moved that all the bids be rejected and a reletting ordered. The other members thought this rather an arbitrary proceeding and after a little in- formal discussion Mr. Holman amended his mBtion to refer to committee of the whole. The motion was adopted. Tyler Place. Cleveland avenue, one of the principal streets in Tyler place, is where Henry Hie- menz, Jr., will hold an auction sale of choice residence lots to-morrow afternoon. Eight of these lotg begin at the southwest corner of Cleveland avenue and Vandeven- ter, and three on Cleveland avenue, souti- west corner of Klemm. The sale was deter- ‘mined upon by a non-resident in order to perfect an immediate closing out of his in- terests therein. Parties who attend will at once become convinced of the high character and promising future of the property. WA LITLe w7E Lex!

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT 14TH STREET THEATER. MISS FERRIS’ WITTY PAPER. Miss Althea Somerville Showed Why the Great American Novelist Will Come From St. Louis. The stage of the Fourteenth Street The- ater never made a prettier picture than at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning, when several hun ingt dred girls of Mary Institute, of Wash- on University, sat upon it. In front were the graduates, twenty-two in number, gowned in simple but pretty white organ- dies quets of pink roses, , and all carrying great, spreading bou- their class flower. Many of them had their hair up for the first time, and their pretty faces, flushed by the excitement of the day which meant sO much to them, rivaled the pink roses in color. Back of the graduates were the younger girls of the other classes, all in white and with their various class colors indicated by the sashes and ribbons they wore. The little girls brought up the rear of the beau- tifu one 1 stage picture. The chancellor sat in of the boxes with some of the faculty from Washington University, and in the others were the and Mary Institute teachers some of the alumnae.

This ad- ministration is not proposing to increase taxes-on the wealthy, and the Brewers’ Trust is one of the wealthiest in the coun. try, It is evidence that there is still a little force left in public opinion for the con- trol] of legislation, that the Senate Com- mittee does not dare, after striking out the increased beer tax, to report favorably on the tariff of 10 cents a pound on tea. That far even Republican audacity could not go. But the people have pot the Republicans, but the brewers, to thank for their deliverance. The brewers, in and _ exercising their power for their own bene- fit, have incidentally served the people. Now look out for the bank check tax. Rhe only influence which can save small depositors from this burden will be thatof the bankers, who may well fear a shrink- age in bank transactions if that tax is imposed. 4 QUESTION IN Ii.LINOIS. The Chicago Tribune points out in very strong language how impossible it is for Gov. Tanner not to know that legislators who voted for the Yerkes-Allen bill were bribed to do so. Men vote for good measures, says the Tribune,..to..win.the approval of their constituents. When they vote for bad measures, and espeeially for those against which there is public protest, the motive of winning public honor and pre- ferment is absent, What motive, then, re- mains? Certainly not one of serving the people against themselves. There can be but one answer, the Tribune says, and it is expressed in the one word, bribery. This is not a new line of reasoning. It is one which many men have followed in convicting. of infamy the scoundrels who insist that while their acts are open to eriticism, their motives shal] never be impugned. Hundreds of. men have bean banged on circumstantial evidence leas conclusive than that which hangs up the Iilinois boodlers highér than Haman. But if legislators were without honest motive in voting for the law; how can the Governor, by any course of casuistry, find merit im it? Is Tanner a fool ov a knave? That is the implica question cf the Tribune, It is a Republican question, and we leave it for Republicans to answer. —— © — — -—_—— HECKEL’/S FENDER ORDINANCE, The Post-Dispatch is pleased te call the attention of its readers to the fact that Councilman Heckél is to again intro- duoe his fender ordinance, the object of which is to compel the street car com- panies to use Jife-saving fenders. Every humane man and woman will desire the passage of the ordinance, To continue in- definitely with the defective ordinance now existing Would be a disgrace to 8t. Louls. The present fenders have been tn use since September 1, 1895, and, as Council- man Heckel says, nearly every line has had its fatal accidents since then, the killing and maiming being rather helped than hindered by the use of fenders that promise protection but usually only add to the horror of the accident. The Council committee that defeated Mr. Heckel’s fender ordinance at the last session, on the ground that it would work a hardship on the companies to compel them to make a change s0 soon after they had equipped the cars with inefficient fenders. showed itself more tender of the interests of _ than of human life, Hew many human lives, blotted out by inefficient fenders, were needed, In their estimation, to offset the companies’ out- lay for ba@ fenders? Is not a single human fe of more value than the en- tire outlay for fenders? Yet the Council anda the street car companies have been acting on the theory that money is more worthy of consideration than hu ife, Looking at it from the standpoint of the Council committee that defeated the former ordinance, it may be assumed that enough human lives have been sacrificed to balance the cost of the present fenders. The civic authorities, therefore, have no excuse for putting off the passage of the Heckel ordinance. It is time to comipel the corporations to use fenders that will save life instead of destroying It, a PRIVILEGES OF PLUTOCRATS. A press dispatch announcing the return of J. Pierpont Morgan from Europe, says: Mr. Morgan wore a suit which breathed the atmosphere of Picadilly from every- one of its broad stripes, He carried no cane, but he had a fleld-glass swung across his shoulder. His man servant carried a small green alligator portmanteau, which ap- peared to be treasured above all of the other forty-six pieces of luggage. The in- spection by the customs officers was expe- ditiously performed, Very few of the forty- seven pieces were examined. . The Post-Dispatch has been condemned by some of the business people of B8t. Louis for its insistence that we are in the process of creating by force of law a Plutocratic or privileged class in this country. It has been denounced as sec- tional, revolutionary, even anarchistic, because it has opposed methods which have given exceptional favor to J. Pier- pont Morgan particularly, and the mul- ti-millionaires of New York generally. Why should the luggage of J. Pier- pont Morgan come into this country without close examination when Richard M. Scruggs and EB. 8. Langhorne, two American citizens unfortunate enough to live in the West and who have never robbed the Government in a bond deal, were subjected to a search? Why should the Morgan portmanteau, so highly treas- ured and closely guarded, have been al- lowed to pass, when even the pockets of the St. Loulsans were turned inside out? The Customs officers might more easily presume a jealously guarded port- manteau of a treasury raider like Morgan to be loaded with smuggled goods, than to presume the pockets and liver pads of the Westerners to be so loaded. —_——— -¢— i PROSPERITY ON THE GROUND FLOOR. Having depressed general values and the earning capacity of average proper- ties with the gold standard, the favored classes, or those able to buy what they want, are saving themselves from the effects of that condition. They are legis- lating artificial value into their stocks and bonds and what they make or han- dle, by the aid of law. They said, with one voice, in the McKinley campaign, that you cannot create value by legisla- tion. But, of course, they knew better then, as they do now. The purchase of a law in the Illinois Legislature for the street railway million- aires of Chicago is a striking case in point. The value of the watered stocks of those corporations has already enhanced to the extent of millions by the monopoly which the law makes possible, and the prevention of any reduction in car fare which it authorizes increases the earn- ing power of the lines enormously. These great privileges, in a time of falling prices, are worth many times the sum it cost to buy them at Springfield. Not less marked is the carrying out in Congress of the agreement between Hanna and the interstate railroads under which Hobart was put up as the presiding officer of the Senate to aid in the repeal of the anti-pooling law. That repeal will put millions into the pockets of railroad speculators in the enhanced prices of rail- road securities, and millions more in the power it will give them to tax traffic. But, above all other schemes to save special interests from the effects of low prices under the gold standard, is the tariff law now in preparation, under which the elect are to be given a monop- oly of the home market and charge what they please. High prices, paid in money of increased purchasing power, are soon to bring pros- perity to those on the ground floor. or +9 —— oe) —_— - The St. Louis Republic of Friday prints a startling expose, under a Chicago date line, of corruption at Springfield to secure the passage of the Yerkes-Allen bill. While the bill was pending the Springfield correspondence of the Republic ridiculed the opponents of the bill as ‘“‘wingless an- gels’ and “white-souled patriots,” whose support of a commendable bill to pro- mote rapid transit between St. Louis and East St, Louls was worse than support of the boodle infamy. i —_— ee “To sign this bill,” said Mr. Harlan to the Governor, in speaking of the Yerkes infamy, “‘would show ignorance and in- sengibility to the wishes of the people.” As the Governor has since signed the bill, Mr. Harlan’s words are rather severe. It is not likely that the Governor has not full knowledge of the Yerkes scheme. It is his insensibility to the wishes of the people that chiefly distinguishes the Gov- ernor in this cage, The McKinley Prosperity notes issued during the campaign have gone to pro- test, and without paying so much as an installment of the interest the issuers of the notes are trying to convince the hold- ers that they have been paid. In com- parison with this the occupation of the bunko steerer is respectable. Any member of the Illinois Legislature who says he voted for the Yerkes-Allen bill for money should be jailed as a knave. Any member who says he voted for it be- cause he believed it to be a good bill should be incarcerated in an idiot asylum as a fool. After the sad consequences of the yel-. low victory in Kentucky last November the people of that State will scarcely give mutch heed to the nomination ‘of a candi- date for Clerk of the Court of Appeals by the little McKinley Aid Society of Louts- ville.

It is with the banks that they have first deal- ings, even in a gold export transaction, and thefr fingl visit to the sub-treasury for gold is a second step compelled by the banks, which refuse to honor checks and drafts upon them except in legal tender paper. The next question is, are the banks able to maintain gold payments now? If they are not, would they be much better able as- suredly and permanently to maintain such payments after the Government has been retired from the “banking business?” But if they are able to make gold payments at of this duty or function would at once re- lieve the Treasury reserve of attacks from this quarter and destroy that “which has added terror to the international gold move- ment.” ; What an extraordinary situation we then have! The restoration of confidence and revival of business are made to turn on some action which shall take from the federal treasury and load upon the banks the function of supplying gold for export and for the general purposes of exchange. In the absence of such action industry languishes, Europe remains distrustful of American investments and impatience in the financial centers rises to fever heat. It is assumed that the entire currency system of the nation must be reconstructed to at- tain this end, and Congress and the execu- tive are beseeched to proceed; and a prom- ise of action from the Secretary of the Treasury sends a hopeful thrill through all the markets. And yet the particular object sought can be attained to-morrow through a simple change of policy looking to gold payments on the part of banks, which are so very anxious at present to have the Govern- ment go out of the banking business and load upon themselves the duty of supplying gold. They can voluntarily take upon them- selves that duty any day; but the efficacy of the action seems to depend upon com- pulsion from the Government exerted through a long process of disturbing cur- rency reconstruction, and meantime the country must wait upon the deliberations and inquiriés and recommendations of a monetary commission, and then upon the doubtful action of Congress, Let the country be warned against in- jecting so much buncombe Into the cur- rency reform issue that it shall swell clear across the path to prosperity and impede all progress toward improvement, It is foolish business. Tanner and the Infamy. From the Chicago Tribune. The Governor knows in every sense of the word, if he is not an idiot, that the Al- len bill is a swindle and a robbery of the people of Chicago. He must be fully aware in hie heart that it was passed by boodlers in the Legislature, so as to enable the street railroad companies to traffic with boodlers in the City Council to cheat the citizens of Chicago out of millions right- fully theirs for the use of their streets. He can see them already preparing to meet the bribere for the Aldermen, if he chooses to look. The Governor must know that the Dill was designed to enable Aldermen not elected on that issue to sell fifty-year fran- chises of 700 miles of street, and in doing it rob the city of from three to four millions of legitimate revenue a year. Gov. Tanner is not so eimple-minded as not to know it. The Governor alleges that he does not “know’’ this measure was boodled through the Legislature. How, then, does he think it did get through? Will he please give the name of one member in the Senate or House whe voted for the Allen bill of whom he is prepared to say that he hon- estly and sincerely believes he was not bribed, directly or indirectly, giving at the same time the motive which, in his opin- ion, did cause that member to vote for that rascally robber bill? The columns of the Tribune are wide open to him. e Will the Governor gay of any member who voted for the bill that he was not cor- rupt, but was an idiot, or was bamboozled into doing it, or was mentally a degener- ate? He can not say that an unbribed man voted for the Allen bill because he thought it was for the benefit of Chicago or its citi- zens, Yesterday morning Gov. Tanner etood at the parting of the ways. He could have taken the right road, offended Yerkes and his. gang of stock gamblers, and made two million people his friends for life. He pre- ferred to take the wrong road and make Yerkes his companion hereafter. He has made his choice of friends delib- erately. Let him accept the consequences uncomplainingly. He can do no more harm to Chicagoans than he has done, Their turn will come. They see in him the avowed enemy, whose political ext'nction will be one of their future aims. They will “meet him at Philippi.’’ There will be no Senatorial term for him. There will be no Gubernatorial re-election. His career will close when he leavea an office he has disgraced to step down among the people he has outraged. Prosperity and Pastry. From the Washington Post.

FRANK BRAY UNDER ARREST. He Says He Didn’t Do It, but Witnesses Say He Did, and His Knife Was Found. John F. Neun was stabbed at 1:30 o’clock Friday morning during an altercation with Frank Bray, an unemployed machinist. The physicians at the City Hospital say he can- not recover. The wound is about four Inches deep, and the blade penetrated the intestines on the left side of the abdomen, Bray turned the knife, then drew it downward for nearly five inches, Neun was taken to the City Dispensary, then to the City Hospital. In- flammation set in, precluding all possibility of recovery. Bray denies stabbing Neun. Mrs. Neun and the police are positive that Bray did the cutting, and a long knife, with @ dirk-shaped blade, which was found on the route of Bray’s flight, is supposed to be the weapon used. His accusers gay it be- jongs to Bray. Neun fs the proprietor of a small lace laundry at 310 South Broadway. About two months ago he gave shelter toa woman who gave her name as Annie Schneiderhan. - By common repute her reputation was not good; but she said she wished to reform, and Neun and his wife took her in. Bray was the woman's lover, and disap- proved strongly of her attempted reforma- tion. The Neuns claim that had he re- mained away, the woman would have been reclaimed, Bray, they say, was constantly importuning her to meet him, and the re. sult was that she resumed her old life. After a debauch with Bray, the woman would return penitent, and Mrs. Neun would give her shelter. But she could not keep away from her lover, and her efforts to be good alternated with her sprees. Neun objected and two weeks ago the Schneiderhan woman was told she would either have to leave or make Bray stay away. She left with Bray, but a week ago returned. She was taken back and all went well until Friday morning. Neun igs a consumptive and has been in wretched health for some time, Thursday night he and his wife took a long atreet car ride, and did not return until a little after 1 o’clock. Annie had been left to mind the house and also to take care of Mrs. Neun’s pet dogs. When the Neuns returned neither Annie nor the doge were in the house, Neun stepped out on the sidewalk to look or the servant, and Bray approached him. eun said before he was taken to the hos- pital that he asked Bray where Annie was, and without replying Bray pulled his knife and plunged it into his abdomen. Bray claims that Neun accused him of stealing the missing poodles, and that he denied it. He says Neun struck him on the back of the head and ran. He denies the cutting, but does not explain why he ran when Neun staggered towards a saloon, crying: “I’m stabbed! I'm stabbed!’’ ray ran down Broadway and Mrs. Neun ind a number of bystanders followed.

The blade is five inches long, and both edges had been ground to a ragor keenneas. Bray was taken to the Four Courts. He is thirty-seven years of age and lived with his mother and sister. He gave his address as 1211 North Eleventh street. He claims never to have been in trouble before. The police claim he has a strong aversion to work and that he was contented to live off the earn- ings of the Schneiderhan woman.

A fitting example of woman's devotion and un- faltering trust is portrayed in the love story of Miss Gertrude Leonard, a West End belle, who remained steadfastly true to her lover during a separation of six years. The narrative as related by Miss Leonard to a Post-Dispatch reporter could be woven into as pret- ty a romance as was ever spun from a novelist's pen. Jack Gaylord fell in love with little Ger- trude Leonard when a mete boy. He grew to man- bood and eagerly awaited the time to approach when youthful vows could be consummated. Jack had prepared a cozy home for his bride-to-be, and the wedding day bad been set. The bappy time arrived, and all was in readiness. The bride, ar. fayed in creamy satin, awaited the arrival of her lover. He did not come, but in his stead came & measenger boy bearing the following note: “IT have gone on a dificult mission. May never return. Good-bye. Jack."’ Time rolled on, and Gertrude remained true, be- lieving that some day ber lover would return. Saturday a bearded stranger made bis appearance explanation said that be had made wedding that he could travel a IAT THE SHRINE OF THE PIE DOLER, COL. KERENS BESIEGED BY HUN- GRY SILK STOCKINGS. C. A. LOOMIS WAS A CALLER. The Post-Office Peddler Was in Lengthy Confab With McKin- ley’s Missouri Lieutenant, Unusual friction is wearing away the granitoid ficor at the entrance to the Se- curity Building as rapidly as a dull corn knife eats the surface of a farmer’s grind- stone. Not a particle of rust or dust re- mains on tho elevator cables in that big building. The young men who run the ele- vators wear a tired look. The office of Col. R. C. Kerens is on the eighth floor of the Security Building. Associated Press dispatches a few days ago announced the home-coming of Col Kerens. Faithful torch-bearers all over the State—from the Pemiscot bayous to the Nodaway corn-fields, and from the McDon- ald peach orchards to the Lewis wheat lands—he.rd the news. Several of them are now in St. Louis. Of course they are here on “private business.”” That private busi- ness consists of seeing Col. Kerens. To see the Colonel is not an easy undertaking just now. Yet his callers are a determined lot. When a stern looking secretary sits at his desk in the Security Building and says: “The Colonel will not be down this morn- ing,’’ some of the visitors go away and wait and wait, Others are more qunsiag. They get their bearings from a hotel clerk and o to Col. Kerens’ hdtse. A few of them ave been there before, and know the road without asking for directions. Among the most notable callers at the Kerens throne since the return from Wash- ington Wednesday night are C. A, Lucas and B, F. Brazell of Chillicothe. Loomis was a candidate for Congress last fall in the Chillicothe district. or several years he has been a ghining light in the Silk lag | division of the Republican party. Brazell is the editor of a Republican paper at Chillicothe and is a omis lieutenant, Just at the present time there are some rather serious charges pendin against Loomis. He is accused of peddling post- offices, or, in other words, it is alleged that he sells his tnfluence. These charges have been openly made at Chillicothe, What the administration will do about it remains to be seen, Loomis and Brazel! arrived Thursday to see Col. Kerens. They did not register at any of the hotels, consequently, their resence in the city was known to only a ew people. Thursday evening, about 6 e'elodk. Foomia and Brazel made their ap- pearance at the Laclede, after having been in the city allday. They wrote their nameg on the register. Then they ate dinner—sup- er, they call it—and left the hotel as quiet- y as they came. They told the clerk they were going back to Chillicothe on one of the night trains. The most interesting aspect of the charges againat Loomis is the wicenne of the breach between the Kerens and Filley fac. tions. The Filleyites of the Second Dis- trict, and in various other parts of the State, are aggressive in heralding the story of Loomis’ alleged traffic in McKinley in- fluence. It is claimed that there is evi. dence sufficient to support the allegations. What occurred at the conference between Col, Kerens and Loomis can only be con- jectured. The latch string did not hang on the outside. It is regarded in political circles as a strong probability that, in view of the charges against Loomis, he may be divested of his yellow collar. One thing is certain: the wrangle in the Second District is likely to disrupt the Re- publican party. The lines are being drawn in a positive manner, and the breach widens with startling rapidity. Another prominent Republican who is helping to keep the Security Building eleva- tors in motion is Col. Lib. Morse of Ex- celsior Springs. He is known all over the State. It would take an automatic adding machine to keep correct account of the number of trips he makes daily to Col. Kerens' office, when he is in St. Louis. Col. Morse is a fighter. He lives at Ex- celsior Springs—a celebrated health resort— Sonaevently he is always in the pink of condition, Col. Morse is probably here just to touch the hem of Col. Kerens’ garment. In Other worde to renew allegiance. The distribution of Federal pie is not pro- ceeding as rapidly as the office-seekers would like. They know that Col. Kerens is the chief distributor for Missouri. That is why he has eo many callers when he is at home in 8t. Louis. Every man in Missouri who wants a Government job— from foreign missions down to cross-roads post offices—realizes the importance of touching palms with Col. Kerens. Every incoming train brings fresh recruits, and as long as he remains at home the friction in en around the Security Building will con- nue, AFTER AN EX-HUSBAND. Alice Cheatham Discovers He Was a Bigamist. Alice Cheatham, a neatly attired woman, 8 yeare old, applied for a warrant Fri- day, charging her former husband with bigamy. Mrs. Cheatham lives in one of her own houses at 2832 Scott avenue. In 1887 she married John Graves Sylvester in Warrenton, (Mo. year ago he left her. April 1 she received a clipping from a Plattsburg, Mo., paper, relating the trouble Mrs. Ella Elizabeth Johnson was having there in getting a divorce. On May 17, Mrs. Alice Cheatham Sylves- ter was granted a divorce from John Graves Sylvester in the St. Louis Circuit Court, on grounds of desertion. A few days after receiving her decree she was informed through an anonymous letter that her husband was married on April 15, a month previous to the St. Louis divorce, to Mrs. Ella Elizabeth Johnson at De Witt, Carroll County, Mo. She called in Attorney Cunningham and they went to the warrant office to have Sylvester arrested for bigamy. There was a atatutory Wiscussion between Attorney Cunningham and Col. Johnson in which the State statutes were overhauled and the criminal code dissected. It ended in Col. John's refusal to issue the warrant.

HAD ROMANCE IN HIS LIFE. Trinkets in His Attic Room Indicate That There Was a Woman in the Case. An inquest held Friday morning over the body of Otto Mark, for years known as the hermit of the South Side, resulted in a ver- dict of “‘Death from natural causes,” The death of the hermit was due to acute infammation of the kidneys, Wednesday night in the little attic room, which Mark had occupied forty years, at 1411 South Sec- ond street. The discovery that the old Ger- man had expired was not made until Thurs- day evening. Otto Mark, ‘who was belleved to be 56 years old, was always a mystery to his associates and acquaintances. He came to St. Louis just before the war and and moved into the attic room where he lived alone until death claimed him. He cooked his own meals and did his own chores. Few persons ever saw the Interior of his apartment, but those who did said the hermit was an omnivorous reader and had a well-stocked library of choice Latin and German works, He always parried any questions concerning his -early life. He appeared to have plenty of money, but no one could tell where it came from. There was once a rumor that he was a spy employed by the German Government, and there were other stories of letters received from a town in Germany evidently written by a woman, but nobody ever ascertained the truth. Coroner Wait caused several satchels that were found in the attic to be brought to his office. They were filled with odds and ends that had evidently been treasured for years by the hermit. There were bits of ribbon, some medals and small volumes that were. evidentl resents. Half = éhnen pocketbooks filled with curl- ous coins were found and several pieces of jewelry, one being a breast-pin of old de- sign, in one of the satchels was a lady's gold watch. It is of Geneva make, and bears the date 1815. Attached thereto was a slight gold chain. These articles speak of a romance in the misty past, but so far as the Coroner's search was made ee was found to throw a light on Otto Mark’s life before he came to St. Louis. A belt was found on the body. It con- tained $165 in greenbacks and silver and a check for $25. Coroner Wait turned the property over to Public Administrator Richards, who will search the attic room for a will or papers.

A New York dispatch which announces that arrangements are being made to or- ganize a huge phalanx of Irish-Americans to visit Ireland next ‘year, and that. ‘‘a fleet of ships’’ will be chartered to carry them, O’Neill Ryan, the eminent Irish pa- triot and lawyer in the Bank of Commerce Building, says ts decidedly premature.

THEIR NOTES WERE ALLOWED. NEW TURN IN THE CRAIG WILL LITIGATION. PART OF MRS. CRAIG’S ESTATE. Two Daughters and an Aunt Allowed Claims Against the Estate Aggregating $5,000. A new turn was taken in the celebrated Craig estate litigation Friday. Mary Louise and Emma Craig, to whom the late John Craig bequeathed all of his wealth, ex- cept $1, appeared in the Probate Court to ask the allowance of certain promissory notes, bearing the signature of the de- ceased father. Miss Catherine Breen, an aunt of the Cralg sisters, was present also, with a note for allowance. The aggregate amount of the claim is $5,000, covered by five notes of different dates and amounts. After hearing the evidence the court al- lowed the claims. Attorney Frank Ottofy, representing Will, fam John Craig, the son of the late James Craig, who was cut off with $1, was pres- ent, The existence of these notes was a surprise to Mr. Ottofy. He had aever heard of them, consequently he interro- gated the claimants closely. Two hours time was consumed in hearing tHe evidence. Both the Craig sisters and the aunt explained in deta'l how they came to possess the notes. The sisters said the notes represented their dead mother’s in- heritance from her father, Peter Breen, an old citizen of St. Louls. James Craig’s second wife was Ann Breen. She died when her daughters were young and the father gave them notes to cover the amount of their mother’s inheritance. Catherine Breen, sister-in-law of the late James Craig, said her note was for money loaned by her to James Cra'‘g. During the examination, the witnesses fre- quently declined to answer questions pro- pounded by Attorney Ottofy. He announced his intention to take an ap- eal to the Circuit Court. Willlam John raig, who seeks to have the will set aside, is not In St. Louis at present. He is travel- ing in the East securing evidence in support of his claim. The proceedings in probate grow out of the will contest case. Should the Circuit Court sustain the allowance made by the Probate Court, the Craig sisters will recover their notes, even though the will is set aside and the estate divided in the usual way, BOILER INSPECTOR ACTIVE.

They Wanted Delay and They Got It and May Get More of It. After an unexplained delay of six weeks the ordinance authorizing the Board of Public Improvements to advertise for bids for doing the public lighting will probably be reported by the commitee to-night. No excuse has been made for the delay, which jeopardizes the chances of the city getting favorable terms. The local companies are interested in the delay. Every week the letting is deferred increases their chances of getting the con- tract at advantageous figures. The ordinance was sent to the Councfl by the Board of Public Improvements. It pro- vides for asking bids for doing the work with gas or electricity and for erecting a gas or electric plant, to be leased to the city. It is not probable that the ordinance will be passed in its present form. The As- sembly has no power to amend board ordi- mances, but it can send them back for sug- ested amendments, This will probably be one, ! Mr. Heckel will present a resolution rec- ommending this course and embodying a number of amendments, which he thinks are necessary. One of these will be for asking bids on both a ten-year and a twenty-year basis. As at present worded the ordinance con- fers a franchise to do private electric light- ing and authorizes, the board to exempt electric light companies from compliance with the ordinance requiring them to pay the city 5 per cent of their gross earn- ings on private lighting. his is to put the other companies on an equal footing with the Laclede company in the event of its winning the suit pending in the Supreme Court. . Mr. Heckel thinks outside gas companies should also be granted the privilege of fur- nishing gas to private parties for light, heat and power purposes. The ordinance first sent to the Assembly authorizing the letting required the wires to be placed underground all over the city. The are 5 claimed the expense of doing oe would be so great that they refused to id. The pending ordinance does not require this. r. Heckel thinks unless they are required to put them under over at least the greater part of the city complications will arise when the city attempts to force other companies under. His resolution will suggest that under a ten-year contract all wires be placed under- round within the territory bounded by rand avenue on the west, Cass avenue on the north, Chouteau avenue on the south and the Mississippi river on the east, and if a twenty-year contract be accepted all wires between Cass avenue on the north, Broadway on the east to a line parallel with Taylor on the west to Arsenal street on the south, be placed underground on all im- proved streets when so ordered by an ordi- mance, said ordinance, however, not to be enacted within ten years after date of ac- ceptance of contract. Bids are called on fouy propositions and @ deposit of $10,000 is required to accompany each bid. company making all four bids would, therefore, have to put up $40,000. Mr. Heckel will suggest that only $10,000 be required from each bidder on the condition that it shall apply on the particular bid ac- cepted. Alsc that the indemnity bond be reduced from $250,000 to $100,000. ; Mr. Heckel algo thinks a alip has been made in not specifying that the contract shall be eubject to the approval of thé As- sembly, and he will recommend that this provision be inserted, This omission, however, ts only apparent. The charter requires all contracts to be so approved. ‘ater Commissioner Holman, chairman of the Lighting Committee of the Board, says he is glad the members of the Council a@re taking enough interest to send the or- dinance back with suggestions. “Our purpose in sending the ordinance to the Council in its present shape,”’ he said Friday, ‘“‘was to give the Assembly a chance to determine the policy of the city on the next letting. Changes suggested by the assembly which are not impracticable will be made. “We did not confer a franchise on the gas company getting the contract because we did not believe any outside company could bid against the Laclede, which already has its plant. We expected the outside com- panies to bid under the leasing system.” FELT LIKE A PILE-DRIVER. John C, Myers Denies Using a Monkey Wrench on Cecil Coppedge. John C. Myers, the well-known sporting goods dealer, is aggrieved at published ac- counts of a whipping he administered to a young man named Cecil Coppedge Thursday afternoon. It was said that Myers had etruck Coppedge in the mouth with a mon- key-wrench. “I am physically capable of whipping any hoodlum in town with my fists," said Mr. Myers. “I thrashed Cop- pedge soundly for using offensive language in the presence of ladies. Perhaps he thought a pile driver had hit him, but he got what he richly deserved.” DANCER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow its Excessive Use. Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice al- most daily, and one whieh is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief, and in the end the stom- ach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it accumu- lated in the intestines, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest eure for sour stomach (acid dys epsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab- lets are large~20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements .essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promety before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariab! uses Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for stomach, but by promptly digesting the food the create a healthy appetite, increase fles and strengthen the action of the heart and liver, They are not a cathartic, but in- tended only for stomach diseases, and weaknesses, and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at ver package.

TWAS WOMAN’S GENTLE HAND. The Old Man Says He Was Spell-Bound When He Gave His Wealth Away. Such a story as that revealed by the legal battle between aged Johann Meith and bux- om Josephine Hollman is a most remark- able instance of woman’s influence over man. As briefly outlined in a late edition of the Post-Dispatch Wednesday, Johann Meith, 76 years of age, has brought suit against his housekeeper, Josephine Holl- man, a comely woman of 33 years, for the purpose of recovering title to valuable real estate in this city. Thursday the plaintiff's attorney filed a motion asking for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the disputed property, pending disposition of the case in court. The application for the receiver is based on the plea that rents are to be collected from the Meith tenants and that all such money should be held until the courts decide to whom ‘it belongs. The details of how Johann: Meith came to convey his valuable realty to Josephine Hollman, if true, form a story that is fas- cinating and weird. A reporter for the Post-Dispatch talked sede the aged Mr. Meith Thursday morn- “I was sick when the woman came to my house,” said he, “and she was very kind to me. I was living alone, and she said it was a shame for an old man like mé to be deprived of the gentle care of a: woman. She was lonely herself, she said, and wouid be delighted to make her home at my house. She would nurse me and give me the atten- tion I so badly needed. “I. hardly knew what to think,of the prop- osition. he woman kept on yisiting me. At. last I consented to take her.in. She treated me very kindly at first.. In fact, she concentrated her whole energy toward mak- ing. me happy. Under such gentle influence, I recuperated somewhat. Gradually, our relations. became particularly friendly... Fi- nally, I was spell bound.”’’ 7 ¥s , The old man who confesses that he yielded to the fascinating smiles of his uxom housekeeper is a German and does not speak the English Janguage very -plainly. Still he is‘able to tell his story. Continuing at great length he told of strange visitors who came to his house. The Hollman woman had been as an angel to him. Her will was established as law.

She at once became inter- ested in the case. The old man was con- vinced that there is power in witchcraft. Strange stories of spooks and hobgobblins were related. Chemicals were burned on tin pans in his room. This was in the na- ture of magic incantations. In a weird style the housekeeper and the Strange visitors would march about the house uttering doleful chants’ while they burned the magic flame, so the old man relates. The varnish on his bedstead was blistered from the effects of the holy fire. The old man did not care. He was con- verted to witchcraft. At least he thought he was. Thus it was easy for him to sign a deed to his property, making, his faithful house- keeper the beneficiary. He estimates the value of his property at $000, and he was willing to give it. He believed ¢ house- keeper would continue in that sam angelic wey. That was recompense enough for But there came a change, he avers. After he made the transfer of his property he noticed the once tender touch of his housekeeper had turned to an icicle. He marveled greatly at the sudden departure ‘from the path that had hitherto been strewn with flowers. At last it dawned upon him that since he had no more property to bestow, he was no longer an object of affection. He told his story to Attorneys John O. Marshall and Charles Krone. They concurred in his theory. That is why the case is in court. It will be tried at the October term. The old man hopes to regain possession. The de- fense set forth by the Hollman woman {is da general denial of the plaintiff’s allega- tions. Voluminous evidence will be intro- duced on either side. The woman in the case is a pretty brunette, with large, spark- “28 eyes and a smiling countenance. he same case was tried once before. On that trial—in Judge Flitcraft’s court—a non- sult resulted. Now the case is to be tried again, on the same basis as before. There is, however, a material addition to the evi- dence on either Side, so the lawyers say. AT DEATH’S DOOR. Mrs. Mary. V.

PEOPLE WITH A PULL MUST GO. New Advertisements for Supplies and a Clean Sweep of the Pres- ent Management. Citizens and taxpayers of @very age, de- gree and condition have begun to study the personnel and prospects for success of the new School Board. It was elected under the provisions of a law emanating from the persistent demand of the people for reform—not especially of a political kind, but in the details of manage- ment of the public schools, with their vast properties and systems in order that better results might be attained. The field of revolution is so extensinve and the opportunities for improvement so numerous that the board will find itself filled to the full with labor and responsi- bility which, if but half performed and met, can accomplish wonders for the school system of St. Louis. Mr. Paul F. Coste, President of the board, has devoted much of the time since his election to a survey of the situation from the standpoint of a lawyer, the citizen and the board’s directing officer. He was asked Friday morning by a Post-Dispatch reporter: “Where will the directors begin their work of reform?” “Well,” he answered, ‘‘we have already begun an endeavor to reform the public school management in various ways. “Our first attention is being paid to’ the question of economy. The salaries of all officers and employes have been made a matter of particular study, and most of them. will be reduced. We have a number of suggestions in view concerning the sal- aries of heads of departments and also as to the clerical forces, as we think compe- tent. men can be obtained at smaller pay. I. am unable to give exact or .complete fizuyes, but as an illustration, the salary of the architect—known under the new law as the Commissioner of School Buildings— has been reduced from $5,000 to $4,000; that of the Auditor from $2,7% to $2,000; and that of the attorney from $2,500 to $2,000. Without being able to specify, as the rules are not before me and I am as yet sormne- what unfamiliar with them, reductions have been made in the salaries of the superintendent, the secretary and treas- urer and. of the supply agent. “The next item in the line of reform is that of supplies, from which have emanated a large proportion of the scandal and mis- management of which the people so long complained. We cannot say much about that as yet. We have had a temporary committee appointed to look into the condi- tion of supply bids and advertisements. That committee has labored since May 31 to extract information ywpon which to base future action, and we have learned, for in- stance, that since the old board advertised for coal, there is a likelihood we can get coal much cheaper than was offered, afd consequently we may readvertise for bids. All other bids for supplies are to be recon- sidered and examined into thoroughly, with a view of ultimately directing fresh bids to be made. We are entirely free, legally, to discard all bids heretofore made that are not closed in contracts, or to pay no attention to them, as the facts may warrant. There are indications that bid- ders were to some extent excluded, for various reasons, and we want to reform this condition of things, so that our citi- zens may get the best and the cheapest supplies. There fs where the money has apparently been Wasted heretofore. “The aims of the Board, in the third place, are to organize the Building Commis- sioner’s office and départment in such way that the entire matter of repairs to proper- ty and school buildings shall be conducted on a fair basis, dollar for dollar of value, no preference and no waste. To that end the board is taking ample time in which to select the very best available man as the head of the building department. ‘“‘Another inportant question is that con- cerning the subordinate employes. There are charges of inefficiency — janitors and also against a number of the teachers. While we desire to be perfectly just and oust nobody from position who does not deserve it, the janitors, clerks and teachers must understand it is our intention to do all within the power of the board under the new law to see that incompetent persons are dismissed from service and replaced by evcigeom 9 of efficiency and merit. A weed- ng out process will begun at the earliest moment and ft will continue until the re- form is apparent. There are quite a num- ber who have secured places through per- sonal or political influence alone. ese will have the board’s attention in due time, We want competent people, and the super- intendent and teachers must understand this. “The offices of auditor, secretary and treasurer, commissioner of buildings and supply agent are yet to be flilled. Selections will be speedily made for these places, so as to remove the uncertainty of the present incumbents and install those who are to take up the work and carry it forward. “These are the matin features of the board’s present efforts at reform of the public school management. Time will tell whether and how far they are to be suc- cessful.’’ There is some interest manifested In the examination of the books and accounts of previous boards, which will be begun next week. The new board say they do not im- peach the integrity of their predecessors by this action, and that all they desire is to ascertain whether the balances are cor- rect, so they can rest assured of an accurate beginning of their own accounts, But it Is believed the real purpose is to find holes that are presumed may exist. i 1 on Sh 1} ¥ » err \-«f oo > yy ; « *? or ze * * Oe > es AD J prieee ~ ge” h | ey #6 oe. mr MTT: i ‘ *teseomesiaad iF ye fVT 4, ty . af > f, Vien sieg =e?

RUNAWAY ELEVATOR AT THE MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE. Four Men and a Boy Imprisoned in the Cage at a Perilous Height. Four men and a boy had a narrow escape from death Friday morning at 9:30 o’clock in the Merchants’ Exchange building, by reason of a runaway elevator. During several weeks past the Exchange has been constructing two new elevators, one in the old shaft on the Third street side and one on the Chestnut street side. Friday morning the Third street elevator was deemed ready for use and began to make regular tps. “Tt was about 9:30 o’clock,” says Edwin Cc. 8S. Hunt of Joseph Lathrop & Co., “when I rang the bell to go up. I noticed that as the elevator came down it traveled very rapidly, and I had my doubts as to its safety. In fact I expressed my fears, but an employe said there was no danger, so I boarded the machine, with three others. “The boy started the elevator, and it flew skywards like a flash. Shooting the chutes is an ox-cart mode of travel alongside the haste obtained by that elevator. It must have had wings. There was no warning of its flight, either. It fairly shot up, and for a full moment nobody in the car breathed, so suddenly and shockingly was the tnNp made. “Like the rest of us, the boy was panic- stricken and could do nothing, and the car never paused until it reached the roof of the Exchange building, five floors up. ‘Luckily it stuck there; but we were then in imminent danger of a drop that would mean death. Maybe we stayed up there a minute. It seemed like ages, I can tell you. Then the boy started us downward, slowly, and I got off at the first floor we came to. ‘‘In my opinion, it was nothing short of criminal to permit that elevator to be used by the public until it had been so thoroughly tested there could be no doubt whatever of its safety. We have too many elevator ac- cidents in this city, and the public are en- titled to some protection.” Mr. Hunt resides at 4474 Page boulevard. He sald he was badly shaken up and shocked by the lightning rapidity with which he had gone to the roof of the Merchants’ Ex- change, but otherwise uninjured; and short- ly afterwards resumed the conduct of his business, The other gentlemen in the runaway ele vator at the time alighted at the various floors and disappeared, glad enough to be released from the uncontrollable cage. The elevator engineer said it Was an ac- cident Hable to happen in almost any ele- vator. and which could not be foreseen. The fact that the cage stuck at the top and came down entirely under control showed the perfection of the machinery and demon- strated its safety. Still the gentlemen who made the hasty ascent are not measy willing to add a testimonial to the security of the Merchantgt Exchange elevator, however much they may have admired its facility for quick transpor- tation of passengers. The noise of the shock produced by the bumping cage reached the floor of the Ex- change, but at that hour there was no one present save employes; and, in consequence, the accident created small attention, OFFICIAL APATHY. St. Louis County Authorities Give An- other Eaxmple of Inefficiency. W. H. Hock, an Iron Mountain railroad brakeman living at De Soto, Mo., attended a picnic on May 15 at Kimswick in St. Louls County. He was struck in the abdomen with a heavy crowbar by a negro. He was taken to the Missour! Pacific Hospital in St. Louis, where he died May from a rupture of the intestines, a result of the blow with the iron crowbar.

— ——_ WARM WEATHER MAKES BIG FIELDS FLYERS AT THE FAIR GROUNDS GETTING ON EDGE, ATTENDANCE PICKING — yp. Adventure of Five Pretty Maids Who Strayed From the Club House to Inspect the Betting Ring. The pleasant Warm weather of the last few daye has put new life into both horses and trainers at the Fair Grounds. The horses that have been slow on their training have been working out every day. So far not more than one-third of the horses have faced the starter, but the others are being put into racing shape, and in the next few weeks a large inorease in the eize of the fields may be looked for. The management of the meeting is encouraged at the signs of erowth daily shown in the attendance. In a city the size of St. Louls, and at a track where six races are run every day, and where three or four stakes are run off each week, the attendance should easily average 8,000 people each day. The indications point to the crowds reaching this figure before racing has been going on many more days. At nowhere in the country ig there finer eport to he had than on the track at the Fair Grounds. The stakes are worth good money, and six races each day, with the purses at all gorts of conditions, give an opportunity for the owners to place their horses where they have a chance to win; consequently, the fields are always as large as can be conveniently handled at the gate. There were five of them, and they made about the prettiest set of girls yet seen at the race track. Thursday afternoon was warm and sunny, and these pretty girls wore the most seasonably kind of clothes, white fluffy organdies and befiounced lawns, set off with bright red and pink sashes and rib.« bons to match the color of the dancing roses and flowers in their garden-colored hate, They had a chaperone, and sat on the club- house veranda during the first two or three races, and then evidently concluded there was something else to see at the track, and, leaving the chaperone, they started out to see it. hey had read of the betting ring, and that was the first thing they wanted to get their eyes on. The covey of pretty girls created a sensa- tion as they sailed along the walk at the front of the grand stand. All the women turned around to look at them, and the men etepped aside from the swishing skirts and stood still, for the girls were young and pretty, the kind not often seen ng around in the grand stand. They kept close together as if for mutual protection while ina strange world, and walked down to the west end of the stand, from where the stairs lead down to the tting shed. ‘“‘Where is the betting ring?’’ one of them asked a programme boy, and the boy point- down to the crowds of men surging around the bookmakers. She was disappointed when she saw no ring, but simply e@ shed full of jostling, crowding men. “Let's go down!” called out one, and she raised her dainty skirts and started down the other girls hesitating at the top of the steps. ‘They're off,” went up a mighty cry, and the army of bettors broke for the steps to gee the race fram a point of vantage. The irl on the steps ran back to her compan- ons, and the girls huddled togethep until after the rush of men had passed. That is the time they wanted their chaperone. They had seen the betting wing and their curil- osity was satisfied. e paddock had no interest for them, and they had enough of the sigh Owners and the trainers of horses are as much interested in a big attendance at the races as are the track officials, for big crowds means a financially successful meet- ing, and consequently an extended one. » speaking of the meeting F'iNday morn- ing a well-known owner said: “The man- agement would make a hit and draw big crowds with Jumping raceg and steeple- chases, It might be hard to get up the asrer races because of the grounds and a ack of water pumps. But hurdle races can be easily arranged with the aid of a car- ponies, a few boards and some brush tops. eople like hurdle races because of the great uncertainty, and the element of danger in them, and wherever races of this kind are run there is ajJways a larger attendance than upon other days, including even stake days. ‘“‘Another good scheme would be to have races for owners and jockeys, at a mini- um weight of say 180 pounds. There would e numerous entries, and the race would be worth seeing. In Chicago, at Hawthorne and the other tracks, races of thia. kind were occasionally given, and they always proved a good drawing card."’ TALK OF THE TRACKS. Buck Massie Pulled Up Lame After the Milldale Stakes. Mr. Belmont’s Octagon won the Brooklyn derby at Gravesend Thursday, his other entry, Don De Oro, finishing third. Doggett rode Ruddha into second place by a nose. British royalty and William Waldorf As- tor attended the fourth sale of hackneys and harness horses bred by the Prince of Wales, The former American citizen and New Yorker, Mr. Aston paid 900 guineas for a pair of geldings, the highest price brought by any team. The sale realized 68,449 guineas. The Milldale stakes running at Latonia was described from the press stand at the Fair Grounds Thursday.

READY FOR THE STARTER. Cyclists Through Training and Resting for Saturday’s Contests. Everything in connection with the Na- tional Circuit meet, to be held on the Pas- time Track under the auspices of the Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs Saturday afternoon at F o’clock, is in readiness. The crowd prom- was held at Secretary Laing’s office and the finishi touches put on the arr ements. Earl Kiser, who ts deemed to be the fast- est professional in America, has entered and will compete in all the professional events. In addition the entries of Arthur Gardiner, the star of last yoo # Morgan & Wright team, Anderson of locomottve fame, Wille, Tom and Jack Coburn, Dute Ca- 3 will compete in the professional events. Racing will result in every wet 7 oF as, Se loafing exhibitions will be permitted. ef- eree Sanders will place a time limit on every race and if it is not ridden in that allotment the race will be off. The match race be- tween Willie Coburn and Ear! Kiser should be a hair raiser. Everybody remembers the series of races between Cabanne and Co- burn last fall and how the grand stand went wild when the result was announced. An- other opportunity to cheer the St. Louis boy to victory will be offered to-morrow. There is also some talk of arranging @ triangular race between Coburn, Kiser and Gardiner after the regular programme. It is by no means certain that ser or any other of the fast “pros’”’ will succeed in car- rying all before them. Since Willie Coburn s powers have been fully devéloped but few riders have been able to rema n anywhere near him at the finish and Coburn’s sole am- bition is “ .epread eagle, une field in all the races Saturday afternoon, The amateur events are well filled by the cream of the local racing men and while the entries are not so numerous to make trial feats in the morning imperative, good rac- ng will be seen in every amateur event.

The officers of the meet will be as follows: Referee, E. N. Sanders; Judges, er Laing, Garth Billingsley, Phil Haberman, J. T. Sibley; Timers, Cc. Davis, H. G. Welzendorf, J.

George Redfield"s famous pacing dog “Sport” died of pneumonia at Galesburg, Ill. His owner once refused $1,000 for the animal. The Kansas University Athletic Associa- tion has engaged Wiley G. Woodruff of the Pennsylvania University to coach their foot- ball eleven next fall. The second annual] tournament of the Pro- gressive Gun Club will be held at Fire- works Station, East St. Louis, Ill., Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13. Prof. Hinton’s recently patented pitching machine was successfully tried at Princeton Thursday. Eight strike-outs, one base on balls, one wild pitch and four safe hits was the record made in three full innings. The machine is discharged by the bats- man, who when ready steps on an electrical intercepting plate connected with the ma- chine. The speed is regulated by compressed air and prong-like projections impart the curve. There is but one serious defect and that is the length of time consumed in re- loading. The Browns continue to put up a brilliant game in the field, but they have no chance of victory yntil the learn how to bat. Thursday ‘Silver’’ King had them at his mercy. They scratched out three runs on nine hits and the Senators’ three errors. Meanwhile Washington earned five of their nine tallies off Hart and Kissinger.

ISHYLOCKS RAISE THRIR RATES. INCREASE FROM TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT. THIS IS INTEREST PER MONTH. How Oorporation Rules and Tilinois Laws Work to the Detriment of Clerks and Telegraphers, Several money lenders of St. Louis, who are known as “shylocks,” and so-called except when one is soliciting a loan, have raised the rate of interest from 2 to @ per cent a month. They say money was never so scarce and the demand from men working on salaries cannot be supplied. Twenty-five per cent a month! Three hundred per cent a yeas! That is the rate thousands of men, young and old, are pay- ing for the use of small sums of money to- day. ieee is a peculiar feature to the ‘“‘shy- locking’ industry in the Mound City, With the exception of two classes of salaried men money is not loaned unless gilt-edged security is furnished, Those who do not have to give security are employes of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Cos. and employes of any railroad that runs into nots, The garnishee laws of the Sucker State and rules adopted by the corporations re- ferred to make it possible for the money lenders of St. Louls to be absolutely cer- tain of repayment. These men have a Justice of the Peace in East St, Louis regularly employed, and the moment a clerk or telegrapher fails to come around with the monthly interest a writ of garnishment is issued and either the telegraph poles or the rolling stock at- tached until the claim is settled. Because of the frequency with which this was done the various corporations pasted notices that any man who should be gar- nisheed in the future would have to quit. Instead of mitigating the evil thus made it was worse. The clerks and telegraphers ept on borrowing money and the “shy- ocks”’ rubbed their hands in glee. They knew the men would have to come to time with the interest on every pay day. Since the order that garnishment would be equiva- lent to a discharge was issued, there have been few suits in Illinois. The corporations could not have played into the hands of the brokers better. “If the Western Union would only permit a man to fight a case,” said a telographer to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “the ‘shylocking’ would be knocked out. A number of lawyers have said the attachment proceedings could be knocked out, and if such were done once it would be the saving of many an opera- or. For then the money-lenders would nat ave the gilt-edged cinch they now enjoy, and if they were not certain of their money they would not lend it out. “All that a.telegrapher has to do to-day to obtain moncy is to sign a note and the cash is handed out, Then, on pay day, he comes around with the interest. it may be a year before he pays the principal; he ie never urged to take up the note, but he ve it over and over again in interest. know of one man who has pa!d $70 on a $15 note. “It seems as if the Western Union wishes its men to be in the ‘‘shylocks’"’ hands, for then they are not independent. A man who is out of debt will often refuse to work overtime, but the man who is in debt up to his eyes will slave away twenty-four hours at a stretch if necessary in order to make the interest money.” The telegraphers held a meeting recently and considered the advisability of handin together and employing a lawyer to fight the ‘‘shylocks.”’ The increase of rates from ®% to % per cent is due as much as anything to the pool-rooms, so it is eaid. The money that has been made by the select few who charge such usurious in- terest is astonishing. Qme man who started four years ago with but $200 as capital is reported worth nearly $50,000 to-day. 6 has agents in every city, and it is impossible for a telegrapher who owes him money to es- cape his clutches, unless he abandons the key and goes into some other bus!ness, It is no exaggeration, according to infor- mation furnished by several Western Union employes, to say that one-quarter of the money paid out semi-monthty in wages at the main office goes to the “shylocks”’ to satisfy interest claims.

It Will Likely Be Filed in Judge Spencer’s Division of the Circuit Court Next Week. Tra B. Pelton does not look upon a Cir- cult Court judgment as a thing of joy. Ira is the young man who was defendant in the breach of promise case tried in Judge Spen- cer’s court Tuesday. When the chivalric jury gave Mise Addie Carter, the plaintiff, : a verdict for $2,500 damages because Ira & 4 | Ae Hy Petton did not marry her, there was & 7 pleasant smile on her face. If the de- DN Wh, Lig i ir "4 fendant smiled, there is no record of it. Pelton wante a new trial of the case. In bon E eons will be eet forth in support of the we Another Great Purchase of Men’s Suits Right on Top of Our Immense Hammerslough Purchase ! sons will be set forth in support of the a ee ee .eeeees»Another one of those monumental deals only possible at a store that has a practically unlimited outlet for merchandise. ......A well-known New York manufacturer—not the largest, but one of the finest—desiring to close out the season’s stock before entering upon the manufacture of the fall stock—turned over to us will be the fact that when the case was tried before Judge 6pencer, the defendant was not present. (on the condition that his name should not be advertised)—all he had left of Spring and Summer Suits—2,000 of the finest garments that ever graced the counters of any Clothing Store in America—at a price about half their actual worth. These magnificent suits are now in stock, marked and ready for sale and will be added to our great Hammerslough purchase—an aggrega- ..eeeeand turned over to our patrons at PRICES THAT ASSURE YOU A CLEAR SAVING of 35 PER CENT and MORE on EVERY PURCHASE. ‘‘Where is the man in the case?’ wae a current question among spectators on the ~ —— day of trial. Nobody could answer it. Peo- le who knew him by eight failed to find RIPE.... im anywhere in the throng.

An enormous range of Scotch cheviots, English blue Serges, clay worsteds, fancy mixed cassimeres and English homespuns—aill the newest shades and patterns of the season—sewed with silk—lined with the best serge or Italian cloth linings—suits that no other house would ever think of offer- ing for less than $12.50, and most all dealers lard, who represented him. At least this is what will be alleged. It is generally be- lieved among attorneys that Pelton’s ab- gence from the trial probably had an in- fluence against him. The young woman was there, accompanied by her mother. Numer- ous feminine friends sat a convenient dis- tance on the outside of the railing. All of this was in _— view of the guty. The theory of Pelton and his friends is that he should have been represented in like manner. He was a much-sought individual on the day of the trial. There was a great aggre- gation of spectators. And who ever heard of a spectator who was not curious? This explains why Pelton was so much sought. His absence gave rise to various theories. Some people suggested he was ashamed to come; others ventured the opinion that a breach of promise sult was a matter of trivial concern, of not enough importance to attract the attention of the defendant.

Defendant Pelton has expressed the opin- fon that if he can secure another trial, he will have.no difficulty in winning a victory, or at least succeed in cutting down the $2,500 judgment rendered against him. One of the allegations set forth in his new trial motion will be that the amount of the judgment is excessive. If another trial is granted, an mosey will be made to show that Miss Carter’s health was not good, even before she became acquainted with the de- fendant, and that, therefore, her sickness is not entirely due to the shock occasioned MEN’S These Prices will do it.

MORMONS WILL MAKE ANOTHER BID FOR RECRUITS. ST. LOUIS WAS A POOR FIELD. Brightest Men in the Church Will Be Sent Here to Make Con- versions. Recent reverses met by the apostles of Mormonism in St. Louis have not discour- aged the church, and word now comes from Salt Lake City that a new batch of missionaries will be sent to Missouri! during the summer or early fall. The church is exhibiting the greatest ac- tivity all along the line, but it is to St. Louls some of the brightest men will be sent. Interest here in the faith of the Latter Day Saints was never intense, and it is said less advancement has been made here than in any other large city in the coun- try. The blandishments of the St. Louls Gen- tiles have been too much for the disciples of Joseph Smith, and they fied in con- fusion a few weeks ago to Chi °o and Northern Illinois. ne: The defeat in Missourl caused great con- cern ip the councils at Salt Lake, and this week it was decided to put workers of more — premiers ability in this fleld to culti- ate it, In explanation of the present activity it is said the spirit of toleration shown the church is greater now than ever, and the ng to improve the favorable op- - ; Bome Claim this is because © the present stir. It is that the leaders fear that their sway will soon be at an end and they will be shorn of power unless re- cruits are secured. It will be noticed the most vigorous pros- elyting is done among the more ignoran and superstitious classes. To these the allure- ments of the Smith religion prove exceed- ingly attractive, and it is to these the mis- sionaries look for sustenance. in It is said the Mormon children”at home are peony becoming apostates or are grow- ing lukewarm in their support of the “true religion.”’ The fall work here will probably be con- ducted on different lines than heretofore. More attention will be given to the distri- bution of literature and less to oral ap- — in public halls. These, of course, will e continued, but the greatest work will be done with the tracts. RAZOR THAT KILLED HIS WIFE Will Cut AndreW Worten’s Body Down From the Scaffold. Deputy Sheriff Andy Langford’s particular duty in the hanging of Andrew Worton and George Thompson, the condemned mur- derers, will be to use the razor with which Worton killed his wife to cut Worton’s body down from the scaffold after death is an- nounced. “T have the razor ready,” Langford said, “and I have the permission of Sheriff Troll to use it in cutting down the bodies.”’ The executions are set for July 8 by the Supreme Court, and those who are familiar with the views of Gov. Stephens and have watched his actions in other similar cases do not anticipate that a respite will be granted either man. Gov. Stephens has not yet. given a respite to any sentenced murderer, and all have been hanged on the dates set by the Supreme Court, Go East Via the Wabash, Niagara Falis, the St. Lawrence River and White Mountains, United Singers’ Excursion.

Her Troubled Heart Is Soothed by Her Devotions at the Mission on Franklin Avenue. Mrs. Loulsa Schmidt, whose husband, August Schmidt, on Thursday complained at the Prosecuting Attorney's office that his wife was inordinately enthusiastic about religion, and left him to cook his own meals while she sang hymns and rode about town in the gospel wagon, tells a story that dif. fers from that of her liege. Mrs. Schmidt is a comely YOUN, Woman. She looks like one who has suffered poverty and privation. She said: “T left my husband because I wanted to try and rouse his pride to make him get something to do, and because I was tired of extreme poverty, when I had a home to go to. I have had enough of bare floors and empty cupboards, with @ strong young man sitting around idling. “That is all. Ae for my singing hymns and going about in the gospel Wagon, It ts partially true.
