Haas & Son's whole- clothing store, 1106 Washington avenue, r $1,000 worth of clothing was stolen. Was evident that the robbers had se- ed themselves somewhere in the store ore it closed at noon Saturday, June 26. The robbers removed the most expensive thing from the second floor to a wagon, nich had been driven to the alley door by #1 accomplice. The thieves were acquainted with the remises. They knew how to operate a com- Nicated elevator and on which bench the oest clothing was piled. The firm reported the robbery to the police the following Monday and the matter was kept quiet. Circulars were sent to the au- thorities in adjacent towns, asking them to be on the lookout for the stolen goods. Sunday Detective Wasen of Belleville found 400 pairs of the stolen trousers in J. J. Rubenstein’s store and notified the St. Louls police. Rubenstein also runs a store in Mascou- tah, Ill, and he shipped sixty pairs of trousers there. He says he purchased the 460 pairs from two strangers last Wednesday, paying them A. Haas & Son say the value of the goods is $1,000. Rubenstein says the two men had a large wagon filled with all sorts of clothing ane that he only purchased the trousers. The strangers told Rubenstein that they had bought goods in St. Louis with the in- tion of starting a store in Belleville, but after looking over the ground concluded to sell their stock at a sacrifice. Basing their belief on the statement that the men had a large wagon filled with clothing the St. Louls police think other stores besides the Haas establishment have been robbed by the two strangers, and that they are traveling through Illinois towns disposing of their plunder. Chief Desmond has notified the authorities in most of the Illinois towns adjacent to St. Louls to keep an eye out for the rob- bers, WANTED IN TOLEDO. Ticket Broker, Charged With Embez.- zlement, to Be Taken Back. Detective Thomas O’Brien of Toledo, O., arrived at the Four Courts early Monday morning and left soon after, having in custody John Edward Lake, a railroad ticket broker, who is wanted there on a charge of embezzlement. He is said to have misappropriated $65 belonging to his part- ner, Willlam C. Fisk. Lake is well known in Toledo. His father is a retired merchant and is reckoned as an exceedingly wealthy man. Detective O'Brien stated that young Lake's faiher, though wealthy, is rather close in money matters, The son, he said, only re- cently married, and it is thought that he was in debt and was unable to get any money from his father, This is the cause assigned for the embezzlement of his partner's funds. -_— ——— - _— rr Drowned in the River.

BRYAN AND MISS KITCHEN STOOD BENEATH THE FLAG, A STAR SPANGLED CANOPY. Principal of the St. Louis High School Takes a Popular Teacher as Wife. The wedding of Prof. William J. 8. Bryan, Principal of the High School, and Miss Grace A. Kitchen, one of the teachers, was celebrated at 3007 Clark avenue at 7:30 o'clock Monday morning in a manner be- fitting the day. The decorations were in Fourth of July harmony, the draw®Me room being draped with etars and stripes, and the happy couple stood under a canopy of silk flags. The wedding, at which only relatives and a few intimate friends were present, was at the home of the bride’s father, L. L. Kitch- en, a well known contractor, and the lines were read by Rev. Dr. Luccock, pastor of the Union Methodist Church. The bride, who is known as one of the most brilliant and popular teachers in the St. Louls schools, and who ds as handsome as she is clever, wore a traveling gown of gray cloth, a hat to match, and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies of the valley. In addition to the display of dik and bunting in the drawing room there were clusters of sweet peas and white roses. The doorways were hung with portieres of smilax, intertwined with red, white and blue ribbons. The canopy of silk flags in one corner was aiso covered with vines. The wedding was followed by a breakfast for the bridal party, after which Prof. and Mrs. Bryan left for Chicago. They will visit Northern lake resorts during the sum- mer, and upon their return will be at home at 5231 Vernon avenue. Prof, Bryan has been connected with the St. Louis public schools since 1873. He is extremely popular and is recognized as one of the foremost educators in the United States. He has written a number of val- uable articles on scientific subjects and has been successful as a lecturer. Since the death of his wife, nine years ago, he has lived at 2933 Dickson street. He has three children living. His oldest, William M; C. Bryan, {8 a graduate of Washington University; Miss Grace Bryan was graduated last month from the High School and the third child is a boy of 12, STABBED IN THE LEG. Charles Miller Wounded by William Woods, an ex-Convic~. William Woods, an ex-convict, stabbed Charlies Miller three times Sunday night at Miller’s home, 1321 Pine street. Woods was arrested by Patrolmen Hickey and Finan shortly after the cutting. Woods was drinking heavily Sunday when he calied at Miller’s house and fired his re- volver several times. He finally mislaid his weapon. He accused Miller of stealing it and Miller knocked him down, While lying down Woods drew his knife and stabbed Miller in the lege three times, after which he ran from the house. Miller was taken to the City Hospital. His injuries are not dan- gerous. Woods, in September, 1882, stabbed and in- stantly killed John Hunter, a negro, during a quarre] at Eighth and St. Charles streets. He was sentenced to forty-five years in the penitentiary, but after serving four years was pardoned on the theory that he had be- come insane since incarceration. He was gent to the Insane Asylum, but was released in a short time ae cured, MUST STAY IN JAIL. No Police Court Held to Dismiss or Punish Prisoners. There was no session of the First Dis- trict Police Court Monday, and on that account some two score of unfortunates who had been arrested during Saturday night and Sunday, and who had been una- ble to procure bond, were compelled to lan- guish in the hot, stuffy calaboose until Tues- day. , There were eighty-ve arests made in the police districts tributary to Judge Peabody's court during Saturday night and Sunday. The largest percentage of these arrests consisted of drunks, disturbers of the peace and discharges of firearms, all of whom had allowed their zeal to override their judg- ment in the manner of celebrating the glo- rious Fourth. The indications are that the list of arrests Monday will nearly double those of Sunday, and the Police Court officlals will have an opportunity to earn their salaries Tuesday. | - ——— ‘anos! i503 en ™~s =< .

Angered at Being Punished, He Threatened Suiciae—Alone ir the Woods All Day. — Guy, a 13-year-old son of Robert Paxton of Belleville, played in a ditch Saturday and went home with his clothes bespat- tered with mud. He was chastised in the old-fashioned way. He felt it keenly in body and spirit, and went to bed with his mind filled with schemes to get even. Before he slept he had concluded to work a suicide bluff. Strangely, he remembered his purpose when he awoke at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. He arose and dressed himself. His little brother Hugh also awoke and asked him where he was going. ‘I’m going to commit suicide,” he said. ‘I’m tired of living and getting licked for every little thing. I'm going out in the woods and drown myself.”’ As soon as he had gone the smaller boy told his parents, They thought Guy would soon get hungry and return home, and did not worry about his threat. But noon came and night approached and Guy was still missing. The parents became alarmed. A daughter of John Pope, who lives in the same house, went to the woods, and at 6 o'clock found Guy leaning against a tree thinking of his troubles. He had not eaten anything al) day, and it was beginning to dawn on him that the game Of spite was a losing one. He was gratified, though, that the folks at home were getting frightened, and thinking they had perhaps been punished enough he prom- ised to return home at 9 o’o/ock. At that hour he crept into the house, sullen, but ravenously hungry. The fatted calf was killed, Guy filled hie little stom- ach and went to sleep with the conscious- ness that he had meted out deserved pun- dshment to his parents. HELD FOR BURGLARY. Oliver Woods Said to Be Wanted by Authorities at Sedalia. Oliver Woods was arrested on Monday morning at High and Linden streets by Detective Lally. Woods is said to be wanted at Sedalia, Mo., on the charge of burglary and larceny. .It is claimed that he forced an entrance to a clothing house and car- ried off several suits and odd garments. The local authorities have not been in- formed as to the details of the alleged crime. A BRUTAL HUSBAND, Charles Schorer, Assisted hy Two Men, Kicks and Beats His Wife Into Insensibility. Mrs. Sarah Shorer, aged 23, is in a serious condition at her home, 2814 South Thir- teenth street, as the result of a beating she received Sunday night. Charles Shorer, the husband; his brother Mike of 2416 South Broadway, and Frank Schubert of 2447 De Kalb street, spent the glorious 4th rushing the can at the resi- dence of the Shorers. About 9 o’clock last night. when the trio was feeling hilarious, Mike Shorer and Schubert proposed that they go out and spread the carmine all over the village. Mrs. Shorer heard the proposition. and, wife-like, she insisted that her husband stay at home. She wanted company her- self. The husband was determined to go out, however. Mrs. Shorer was equally as determined that he should not. In order to clinch the thing she snatched his hat and coat and ran into the house. Shorer fol- lowed in an angry mood. While he was arguing with his wife, Frank Schubert grabbed the hat which the woman had in her hand. Mrs. Shorer showed fight, and claims that she was as- saulted by the three men, who knocked her down and kicked her about the body. They left her lying on the floor and ran off. Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Nora Post of 2308 South Twelfth street dropped In to see Mrs. Shorer, and found her in a semi-conscious condition. She at once summoned a physi- cian, who said that the lady was not dan- gerously hurt. The police were notified and the three men were arrested. They will be sent to police court, charged with disturbing the peace, DEATH ON THE RAIL. Thomas Garvey Lies on a Track While Drunk. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., July 5.—Thos.

Joseph Levy’s Wife Stopped His In- spection of a Young Woman and He Protested. The next time Jacob Levy goes to For- rest Park Highlands on the Fourth of July he will leave his wife at home and take an opera giass. Levy lives at the Arlington Hotel, Sev- enth and Morgan streets. He made a scene at Col. Hopkins’ resort Sunday by demand- ing his wife’s arrest for stealing his spec- tacles. Mr. Levy is very near-sighted. It seems that his wife observed him looking more in- tensely at a young woman than she thought decorous, and watching her opportunity snatched his spectacles and refused to re- turn them, Then Mr. Levy calied the police and his wife laughed at him. She told the park pol'ceman to go away. She knew what she was about. She didn’t Intend that Mr. Levy should see anything more that day. A crowd pathered and cheered and the police- man didn’t know what to do. Mrs. Levy took Mr. Levy by the arm and walked him away, while the policeman took his revenge on the crowd. At the Arlington Hotel it was stated that aman named Levy was stopping there, but it was not known that he had a wife, KILLED BY A BOMB. YOUNG AUGUST SCHMITTGEN’S DELIRIOUS FOURTH OF JULY DRUNK.

When Mrs, Schmittgens refused to‘ give mother in the face with his fist. She ran screaming from the room. Her son pursued her to the kitchen, where he drew a long-bladed knife and announced his intention of cleaning out the house, He kept his promise. He ran his mother and two sisters from attracted by the spectacle of three scream- ing women rushing from the house héeard the sound of crashing chinaware and break- ing glass. It was young Schmittgens “clean. ing out the house.” Os After breaking up the dishes he began on the furniture, The noise attracted hundreds of people, who stood on the pavement powerless to prevent the work of destruction. Geveral attempts were made to enter the house, but the doors were found securely barricaded, When Mrs. Schmittgens fied from the house she went to the Second District Police Station, at Ninth and Wyoming etreets, Half an hour after Gus began to smash things Policeman Kirchner pushed his way through the crowd into the yard. Schmittgen's house !s a handsome brick with two stories and a mansard roof. The main entrance is a side door reached by a short flight of steps leading to a porch. Extending back from the porch and on a level with the top of the ralling is a wooden portico built as a shelter over the steps leading Into the basement. As Policeman Kirchner entered the : fe yard Schmittgens climbed out of the kitchen window on to the portico. He had a long-bladed knife In his hand. When he caught sight of the policeman he flourished his knife and braced himself for a rush. “Blank you, stand aside or I'll cut your heart out,” he sald. “Drop that knife and surrender like a man.”’ said Kirchner, drawing his revolver. “If you want me you'll have to kill me,” shouted Schmittgens defiantly. Ex-Vice-President Stone of the Bur. ; lington Railway. NONQUIT, Masas., July 5.—Henry B. Stone of Chicago was killed here this morning by the explosion of a bomb. He was formerly Vice-President of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rallroad, and recently President of the Chicago Telephone Co, The children were discharging fireworks on the lawn. Mr. Stone's little daughter asked him to fire off a bomb. He lighted did not follow. After waiting a short time Mr. Stone cautiously approached the spot where the bomb lay and bent over to see what the trouble was. Just then it ex- ploded.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July &—The twentieth annual convention of the American Flint Glass Workers’ Union began here at 10 o'clock this morning with about 18 dele- atea, representing local unlons in a dozen tates and Canada, To-day'’s sess'on was short and an ad- journment until to-morrow was taken, after nm temporary organization had been effected, in orler that the delegates could participate in the Independence Day celebration in Pittsburg. The actual business of the convention will begin to-morrow morning when thirteen branches of the glass trade wiil be repre- sented. Wm. J. Smith of Pittsburg, the Nationa! President since 1884, will preside.

EX'ECT A LONG SIEGE. Strike Order Complied With in Wil- mington District. MORRIS, Ill., July 5.—In compliance with the general order, the miners of the Wi)- Mitgton coal fields, including all Grundy County miners, went on strike to-day. The Braceville miners decided to square up ; places, refusing. however, to load coal. Some Italians at Carbon Hill refuse to tially and in consequence a mine was par- ly operated to-day. e other mines have practically been on trike several! days. @ long one. -_------—~ President Knirht Says All Wil) Strike in Hoosier State.

MASS Miners Claim Hanna’s Men Will Quit, but the Operators Dispute the Claim. WAR DEPARTMENT READY TO AGAIN IGNORE STATES’ RIGHTS. Acting Secretary of War Anticipates Trouble and Ready to Respond With Invading Troops, PITTSBURG, Pa., July 5.—The great wage struggle of the coal miners was inaugurated throughout the Pittsburg district to-day, but it will be impossible to tell anything about the situation before to-morrow, as this is a general holiday and work is sus- pended In all the mines of the district. This was a day of mass-meetings. By a preconcerted arrangement of the District Executive Board of the United Mine Workers meetings were held in nearly every mining settlement that was repre- sented at Saturday’s convention in this city, and the miners were instructed not to falter in the great struggle that has begun. What effect the meetings will have can- not be determined until Tuesday morning. When it Is learned Just how many men re- fuse to go to work then the magnitude of the strike will manifest itself. Much doubt is expressed as to the action of the Pittsburg & Chicago miners on the Wheeling division of the B. & O., the M. A, Hanna company’s miners on the Pan Han- dle, who are working at the 60-cent rate, under an ftron-clad contract, and the New York and Cleveland miners at Turtle Creek, Pium Creek and Sandy Creek. The miners of thesé places claim the miners will strike and the operators say they will not. In speaking of the strike, District Pres!l- dent Dolan said: “‘The coming week will be a busy one. I have every reason to believe that, with the exception of a very few mines, the suspension will be general. Our men realize that this is the fight of their lives, and from the expressions of determi- nation that I hear on all sides, I have every reason to befeve the strike will be successful. “How long will it last? That !s a difficult question to answer, But one thing you can rest assured of, we are in good shape to stay out all summer. By good shape I mean we have warm weather and a prospective big demand for lake trade coal in sight, which makes the times much more opportune than in winter. “There is a general impression that by reason of s0 many industries being put down there will be little demand for coal. It is not generally known, but the supply of ‘oal for the manufactories in the Pittsburg district Is but a drop in the bucket when compared w.th the lake trade, which sup- plies the markets where coal mines are practically unknown,” The general suspension to those In a po- sition to know presents some very discour- aging features. The past winter has been severe on the mining craft. Business has been very dull and in addition the lowest rate ever paid in the district prevailed for the little work that was done. Women and children have been suffering —-Rigk—onto starvation and many of them have been wards of the county. With spring the con- ditions were a little tmproved and during the past few months many mines have been running continuously. What little has been earned has been used in paying debts con- tracted during the reign of semi-starvation. It is expected that at the meetings to-day an effort will be made to convince the miners that by reason of the suspension ag by : ft ; ; p 4 ah aM . te | _Yoere > ~~ PADUE CRAZED SOMIATGZN ON THE ROOF. , e erage My ' being general victory is bound to follow. It will be argued that the public is in favor of the miners being paid a higher price and that general support will be forthcoming. OVER 30,000 STATE TROOPS. to Suppress Strikers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5.—Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohn said to-day that while no intimation of anticipated trouble from the striking coal miners had been received, the department would be in readiness to promptly respond to a call for ‘| assistance made by the Governor of any State who finds the militia inadequate to protect property and preserve order or to a call by the President, as in the Chicago strike, when President Cleveland ignored Gov. Altgeld’s protest and sent regulars to that city. Some of the States most directly affected by the strike have efficient militia organiza- tions. Pennslyvania has more than 8,000 men available for immediate duty. Ohio has 7,000; West Virginia, 1,000; Illinois, 7,000; In- }diana, 8000; Kansas, 2,000, and Missouri 2,500. The Seventeenth Infantry, comprising nearly 1,000 men, is stationed at Columbus Barracks, in the center of Ohio, and can be rapidly moved to any portion of the State. The Sixth Infantry of 1,000 men is at Fort Thomas, near Newport, Ky. The Fourth Infantry is at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, with two companies of cav- alry and a detachment of artillery. At Jef- ferson Barracks, Mo., there are six com- panies of the Third Cavalry. At Fort Leavenworth, Kan., there are four com- panies of the Sixth Cavalry and the Twen- tieth Infantry. At Fort Brady, Mich., there are four companies of the Nineteenth de- tachment of cavalry and artillery is sta- tioned at Fort Riley, Kan. Four companies of the Nineteenth Infantry are at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, Mich. The Third In- fantry, with 1,000 men, is at Fort Snelling, Minn, RATCHFORD SANGUINE. Than in 1894. COLUMBUS, O., July 5.—National Pres!- dent Ratchford announces that the pros- pects are better than in 18M, when a general strike was inaugurated. At that time the Scale of prices was being paid in many mining localities, notably West Virginia, where a majority of the miners continued to work, and thereby greatly weakened the Strike. He has hopes that the West Vir- ginia miners may now be brought into Line, IT MAY BE COOLER. - — — WEATHER BUREAU OFFICIALS OF- FER SOME ENCOURAGEMENT. SHOWERS ARE NOW DUE. TORRID WAVE HAS MOVED TO THE EASTERN STATES. Sunday Was a Scorcher and the Hu- midity at One Time was Way Above the Normal. “We think we see the end of the present heated term,” said the holiday weather ob- server Monday morning. ‘There isn't much weather observing on the Fourth of July, but we have enough data to indicate a break in the warm wave that for ten days has swept the country.” The St. Louls weather man was alone in his eyrie, all his fellow craftsmen being off for the day. But he had received a few re- ports at 9 o’clock, upon which he based his prediction, Omaha reported 68, which was quite de- cent. Even Chicago, which had almost a record-breaking day on Sunday, with forty prostrations, reported 72 Monday morning, St. Paul and Minneapolis were 69 and Mil- waukee 70. The coolest point reported Mon- day morning was Lander, Wyo., which had a temperature of 46. Cinec’nnati and = eer, at 8 o'clock, were the hottest big cities in the country. Both reported 82, with the sun blazing in a cloudless sky. Louisville was overcast, which cut the caloric down to 78, while Col- umbus, O., which last week made a record of 101, had toned down to 80. ) The 8 a. m, observation (official) was 76 in St. Louls. “But it was hotter than that on the street,”’ said the .observer. ‘“‘And it will be a good deal warmer before night. But there is a shower coming. and after that it will be cooler. The wind {ts now from the northwest, and the humidity Is nearly 10 per cent less than it was yes- terday at one time. “You may or may not realize it,”” con- tinued the observer, “but Sunday was a inasmuch as they are receiving wages far | below the scale and their condition is not any better than that of the miners tn other States. The coal production of West Vir- — has increased so rapidly in the last ew years that the output of this State now of Ohio. President Ratchford roughly estimates the number out at 40,000, but th's is regarded as very liberal. Fully 15,000 are reported to have obeyed the order in the Streator (Ill.) D- s- trict, and at least 4,500 at Spring Valley, Ill. It is siated on reliable authority that the action of the miners Saturday at Danville, Ill., means only a postponement of a general strike, which will take place on. or about September 1. It is expected that the miners at that time will recelve substantial sup- port from other labor organizations, especi- ally the railroad men, who are also yvected to ZO out at the same time. By Vednesiiay neht all the miners of the Me- Lean County «oal Company of Blooming- ton, Tll., will have quit work. The unan- imity of the vote to strike by the employes of the Riverton, Barclay and Spaulding mines foreshadows a’general strike in that por'ton of Illinois. No strike has yet been ordered in South- east Kansas, but most of the men belong to the un.on, In Alabama many convicts are employed in the mines, but the fron market in the Birmingham dis'rict is ga.ning ground every week, and an improvement willl soon be on hand, it is thought, that will make it possible for both the free miners and com- panies to agree. exceeds the output AT BELLEVILLE. The Miners Are Suspicious and Will Probably Not Strike. Unless a great change comes over the coal miners about Belleville they. will not obey the call of thelr leaders-to join tn the East- ern strike. They believe the strike Is Insti- gated by the Eastern operators to enable them to dispose of accumulated stock at increased nrices., A mass meeting has been called for Tues- day morning at 10 o’clock at the base ball park in the West End at Belleville. The published call is nat signed. It is not known who issued it. There are two local unions in Bellev'lle, but the members rep- resent only a small proportion of the min- ers. The meeting will not be largely attended. Most ‘of the operators notified their men Saturday that there would he work Tues- day. In the absence of any assurance- of what the outcome of the meeting will be, the men will be afraid to remain away from the mines to attend the meeting. There is not a spark of enthusiasm among the miners. They regard the call to strike with suspicion. The time is most favorable to the operators, they say. They can see no prospect of success. Repeated failures of strikes fn this dis- trict have destroyed the confidence of the men in that recourse. In the last few years there have been sev- eral general strikes, some of them attended by violence. The militia has been called out and there has been bloodshed. The result was always the same. After a prolonged struggle the men were told by their leaders to go back to work at the best wages they could get. These were in- variably lower than they were getting when they struck. a The strikes, say the miners, were always good things for the operators. The oo was raised and they were able to sell the coal they had on hand, invariably a large “quantity, at big profits. The miners say this is the condition now.

Had there been tBe business activity of a week day many More prostrations would have been reported. As It was Sunday, people either hugged their homes closely or fled to the country for quiet and shade. In the West End there was not a private ther- mometer between 4 and 5 p. m, that did not register 96 or more. All the parks were well filled, though, but because of the heat there was no great rush for the resorts that were apt to be crowded. Everybody seemed to think that the saf- est and most comfortable place was home. Even the wheelmen for once ceased to toil for pleasure and there were few unpleasant looking objects on the road, sweating and scorching and driving ahead, in the idea that they were having fun. . The street cars, save in the early morning, when thousands were taking to the woo,:s, were’ not especially crowded.

DR. WAS MARRIED IN A HURRY. BRIDE FORMERLY MRS. GUSSIE CAMPBELL SPENCER. Mrs. Walter Marder, Another Fair Di- vorcee, Said to Know Where Dr. Winslow Is. Deserted within four days of her wedding Mrs. Gussie Campbell Spencer, @ beautiful young divorcee, who has been the central figure in half a dozen sensations w'thin as many months, now says she does not care where her new husband, Dr. “Jack’’ Wins- 18w, is, and will not let him come back to her until he clears up his record. Two weeks ago last Saturday the news of their marriage in Chicago to the lately di- vorced wife of Will Spencer came as @ great surprise to their suburban neighbors. The bride and groom appeared at church next day and Dr. Winslow was introduced to his wife's friends. Of course there was great gossip over the wedding following right on the heels of a divorce sult that was filed and granted within fiVe minutes the same day fhit a St. Louis court awarded the young woman $5,000 damages for the breaking of her legs in the Houseman Line disaster at Kirk- wood. : It was whispered that Mre. Spencer had learned to love Dr, Winslow long before she thought of divorcing her neglectful young husband. When she and Will Spencer were board- Ing together on South Grand avenue Dr. Winslow was a constant caller at the house. They were both lively, but Mrs. Spencer was so young that the gosips made no harm- ful capital of her fondness for the handsome young physician. Later Mr. and Mrs. Spencer returned to Webster Groves, as she thought it desirable t® get him away from town friends,, who kept him out late at nights The Houseman line accident, the divorce, the marriage at Chicago, the second return to Webster followed rapidly. The gossips said that Mrs. Campbell had exhausted the possinetree for notoriety, but they didn’t now “Jack’’ Winslow. He spent three home in Webster. days.

The family sat a few feet away on the front steps. The dinner Lell rang and everybody pre- pared to go to omg house. Dr. “Jack’’ rolled out, but his wife remained in the hammock. She didn’t want to eat just then and thought her husband might stay with her. The doctor had an appetite and said if sh: didn’t want to eat she could come in and watch him. She kicked about like a spolled child. Then Petruchio, who used to be a sparring partner of Jim Corbett, picked her up and carried the shrieking, struggling Katherine into the house. ‘ The audience of neighbora did plaud, but they felt like it.

She knew Winslow had left his bride, and she alone seems to have known his whereabouts, for she is said to have gone from the court room to a tele- graph office and sent him a message. The same night she left for Kansas City, with Denver as her prospective destination. She was with her friends. Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Pollack and Mrs. Morris, in the court room, but she didn’t tell them why she was going West. Her brother, A. C. Robbins, who was work- ing for Mr. Marder at the American Type Founders’ Co., had his suspicions He threw up his position and followed her to Denver Friday night. Nothing has been heard from ¢ther by St. Louls friends since their departwe, Mrs.” Marder’s alleged telegram, the at- tachment between her and Winslow am the doctor’s repeated assertion that he was go. ing to elope with her, are giving plenty of material for talk.

TROLLEY CAR’S CRASH LIGHT WAGON RUN DOWN AT A GRAND AVENUE CROSSING. FAMILY OF SIX INJURED. FATHER AND TWO DAUGHTERS AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. One of the Children Near Death’s Door and Another Has a Frac- tured Forehead. The result of a trolley car’s crash into a light wagon is in evidence at the City Hos- pital. Fred Krumrel, aged 35, Is in ward 4, his hip having been dislocated. In ward 15 are Elsie, age 6, and Tillie, age 3, his daugh- ters. The elder is wounded itn the fore- head, a fracture of the frontal bone being under treatment. The younger, is in the most serious condition of the trio. There is a fracture at the base of her skul! and Dr. Sutter says her chances for life are about even with those for death. The other members of the Krumrei family —the wife and mother, Fritz, the eldest son, age 9, and Wilile, the 83-month-old baby— are at home, 4087 Penrose street. The mother its suffering from a shock of nervous prostration,. Fritz has a scalp wound, the baby is uninjured. member of this family of six was not killed. A Grand avenue car, late, and bowling along fifteen miles an hour, ran into a light wagon. The vehicle was torn to pieces, not a spoke remaining in a wheel. The father, who was driving, and two of his daughters were forced under the fender, where they lay screaming. mother, the eldest son and the baby were thrown violently to one side and missed the wheels. The accident occurred at Grand avenue and Carter street at 8:30 o'clock Sunday night. “We had passed Bunday afternoon in Granite C ty,"’ sald Mr. Mmret to a Post- Dispatch reporter Monday morning. “My brother Lives there. had a | epring wagon, the same in whioh I deliver meat, 5 yal, am a butcher, and all the family were ong. “At Carter street I drew up a little sa POuthbound Grand avenue ~ & dashed by. and then I started ahead. but suddenly out of the night came a roar and I was all con- The for- mer says ihe gone was sounded ; street was reach | Tagged t ed. tion of sere & > north-bound and the sound of e of the ddshed by. A wild mesie followed the accident. The car was crowded and the passengers, the women shrieking, crowded to the ground. The men folk soon collected their senses, and running to the front aided the conduc- tor and motorman in extricating Krumreli and the two daughters from under the fender. They had been pushed fifteen feet from the spot where the collision occurred, As the men were at work Mrs. Krumrei ran up. She was hysterical and almost insane. She tried to throw herself upon the bodies of her children, and finally had to be led away by two policemen. Ambulances conveyed the three members of the family most seriously injured to the North Side Dispensary, and the others were taken home. An hour lated the former were placed in the City Hospital. WANTS TO REMOVE PAGE. Gov. Stephens Takes a Hand in the Lincoln Institute Muddle. The presidency of Lincoln Institute is a matter that is just now giving Gov. 8Ste- phens something to think about. The Gov. ernor is at outs with Prof. I. E. Page, the head of the university, and, it is said, is anxious to replace him with Prof. Alexan- der, principal of the St. Louis Summer School. The cause of the breach between the Governor and Prof. Page, according to one of the professor's friends, is a political quarrel, Lincoln Institute is situated in the gsub- urbs of Jefferson City. It is the State Uni- versity for the colored race of Missouri, and Prof. Page has been its president for The accident is remarkable in that every ' | Mr. i hée will go to law The | |. the last seventeen years. The Board of W. Henry and John Bae being made by the car which haa| | | Regents is composed of L. D. Gordon, Jesse | _ferson City; Wm. Green of Lexington, J. | W. Dickey of Warren and B. B. Cahoon of Fredericktown. Mr. Dickey is a stanch advocate of the j Page administration and because of is ersistent refusals to vote to eject Prof. | Page from office the profesor to-day occu- pies his chair as usual. A meeting of the regents was held Friday night and an at- tempt was then made to remove him. Mr. | Dickey’s attitude left the anti-Page ele- ; ment in the minority. Mr. Dickey'’s position in the matter has resulted in ill-feeling between him and Gov. Stephens. It was intimated to Mr. | Dickey that his resignation as a regent would be acceptable to the Governor, but Dickey retusee to resign and declares , to resist any attempt to remove him from the board. Prof. Page has a number of supporters throughout the State, but at the same time he has the enmity of many others, includ- ing those of his owngrace.- It is belleved that with Gov. Stephtns now on the side of the opposition the fight against Page will soon be brought to a close. The French Fete. The programme of the French fete prom- ines the finest entertainment offered the public during the eighteen years of the lo- cal] celebration. Larger sume of mone have been appropriated for freworks an . tive purposes, and the large covered a stage at Concordia Park are be- ing increased by an extension shed and tform of x10 feet. ys ree the portraitea to be presented on the canvas during the musical recitals are those of Washington, La Fayette, Thiers, McMahon, Faure, Lincoln, etc., besites views of the execution of Marie Antoinette. the Landing of the Pilgrims, the Slege of the Bastiie, Washington Crossing the Del- aware, e.c The following Committee-on the Ball was appointed last night: Louis Gabard, chair- man; N.

To say that the colored cover of yes- Rerday’s .Sunday Post-Dispatch shone gcross the expanse of contemporary jour- paliem like the gleam for a man-of- wrar’: fashight thrown on the anchored hulks in harbor, is to speak within bounds. It was more than a fulfillment of expectation. It was a revelation of the unknown, immediately accepted and recognized. It could not well have been otherwise. In the interval which has elapsed since the former publication of the Post-Dis- patch in the same line, the art of color printing on a fast press has passed from the stage of experiment to the perfection of success. Jt is now possible to produce color work as uniform, as brilliant and as artistic as anything done on a fiat press, | It costs a little money to do it. In fact, it costs rather more than any other paper in St. Louls could afford to spend, but the Post-Dispatch does not allow any guch consideration to interfere with the gervice it proposes to give its readers, Whe colored cover will be a regular feat- wre of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. We Mo not hope to improve on yesterday's ad- gnirable initial number, but we feel safe fn promising that the Sunday life of the household will be enlivened every Sun- Gay hereafter with an issue quite equal to it in every respect. The new feature as here to stay. _ TOO MUCH FOURTH. That the Fourth of July as celebrated in St. Louls passed by without any fires “or serious accidents was not due to the Mayor's sweeping suspension of the law or a lack of utter recklessness on the part of many of the celebrants, The Post-Dispatch believes in celebrat- tng the National holiday in a reasonable way, but not in emulating the perform- @pces of anarchists, Wach year the cannon cracker is being made bigger and more dangerous and other fireworks follow closely in its wake. Mach year more fire balloons are sent up, @each one a blazing torch tossed into the aky to descend where it may. {fa number of outsiders, with hostile boons should send up as many fire bal- s to float over and settle upon St. ulg as were to be eeen in the sky last Might, public alarm would be aroused and dilo indignation would demand that it stopped, There are other and more reasonable wrays of celebrating a National holiday es by a debauch of explosives and a kless scattering of firebrands. —_—_—_———— 2 —s —__- —_-——— MONEY IN THE MISSISSIPPI. The Chicago Chronicle declares Mis- Pissipp! River appropriations hopeless @nd useless. It insists that the $3,000,000 ropriated for the river this year could expended to much better advantage Chicago harbor. @ Chicago harbor ts entitled to every ar needed to make it better serve its Utary and contributing commerce So the Missies!ppi River. And the river is" fot less important than the lake. The Chronicle is only partly accurate in ing that all of the $40,000,000 expended the Mississippi in the last two decades not be long4n process of settlement. The Mississippi Valley, undef the force of such an issue, would exert its power in a conclusive way, and one which would substitute a policy of judicious liberality for the penny-wise one which, the Chronicle says, has “sunk”? $40,000,000. cs Forty million dollars, not “eunk, would float the argosies of @ world’s cominerce, nn SPRING WHEAT IN THIS SECTION. A Central Miesour! farmer has solved a problem. Joab Watkins, farming the rich agri- cultural lands between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, in St. Charles Coun- ty, has just harvested a crop of epring wheat yielding twenty-five bushels to ithe acre. : The crop was sowed late in the spring after there was no longer doubt that the winter wheat, sowed in the same ground last fall, could not grow. This moves the spring wheat belt about two degrees further south. As now fixed, its southern limit is not much this side of the Iowa line. And the winter wheat latitude has been about as well fixed in Illinois and Kansas as in Missourt. Spring wheat crops have been but rarely attempted south of Henderson County in has been the favorite. There are large sections of wheat lands mers can retrieve their losses of a win- ter crop by judicious sowing in the spring. And twenty-five bushels to the aore is a crop which puts spring wheat sowing out of the experiment class. scesiiiiasas AN ADVANCE IN JOURNALISM. The inevitable effect of any improve- ment introduced by a single newspaper is to stimulate the energies of its com- petitors, This was esignally illustrated by the Sunday morning papers of St. Louls yesterday. The preliminary announcements of the increased news service, the colored sup- plement and other new features ar- ranged for the Post-Dispatch stirred our esteemed contemporaries to renewed ex- ertions, They were enlarged and im- proved to meet the emergency. They were better papers than they would oth- erwise have been, We know this because they themselves admit it. Modestly but firmly, their editorial pages state this fact; they “point with pride” to them- selves. Thus is the mission of the Sunday Post- Dispatch in part achieved. By giving its readers a larger, better and more attraoc- tive paper, it hastens the improvement of all St. Louls journalism. In fact, it compels 8t. Louls journalism to improve or get left, and thereby is the whole pub- lic benefited. We congratulate our esteemed con- temporaries, only pausing to remark that merely to use a paw-paw tinted paper for a comic supplement is not a success- ful method of competing with the only color-printed supplement west of New York—the colored cover of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Se oe ns St. Louis has reason to rejoice that it has to record so few heat fatalities. Cin- cinnati reports 100 sunstrokes yesterday and forty-three were reported to the po- lice of Chicago. The euffering in theses two cities must have been great. The result of encouraging tin-plate ts an attempt to organize a gigantio trust, which will drive thousands of workmen out of employment. In spite of the sen- timent against trusts, they grow bolder every day. _ ——- - ———— — If all the women who lose fat purses could be seen by a grand old man when the money is dropped, as chanced in the case Of Miss Norman and Mr. Bobb, a great deal of feminine fluster would be prevented, os — \ The Yale freshmen make a very bad beginning in life when they refuse to pay their debts because they do not have to doit.

Prince de la Moskowa, a grandson of Marshal Ney, has been elected president of the new club in Paris, the Petit Chateau. The late Sir Augustus Harris, the the- atrical manager, who was supposed to have been poor, has left an estate worth a quar- ter of a million dollars. Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia will soon be able to communicate with the outside world by telegraph. A line its being laid from Harrar to his capital. Gen. Edward 8. Bragg of Wisconsin has offered to have his life insured for $10,000 in behalf of the Fond du Lac Home for the Friendless, provided some one will pay the premium, The deepest dive on record is that of Capt. John Christianson of Seattle, who plunged into the waters of Elliott Bay, and after twenty minutes reappeared in no dis- tress. He brought with him a lead line and bucket from the tug Majestic, which lay, at half-flood tide, 196 feet below the surface of the ocean. The New Orleans Daily States thinks that Archbishop Keane, now of Rome, may be chosen Archbishop of New Orleans, to succeed the late Archbishop Janssens. This would Be a triumph for the so-called liber- als in the American Catholic Church, of whom the Archbishop is a conspicuous and active leader. WOMEN OF NOTE, Miss Mary Rachel Dobson, the eldest daughter of Austin Dobson, has joined. a missionary settlement of college women in Bombay. She is a graduate of London Uni- versity. Empress Augusta Victoria has sensibly insisted that money subscribed for a stat- ue to her father, the late Duke Frederick of BSchleswig-Holstein, shall be used for charitable purposes. Miss Ethel Rebecca Benjamin, LL. D., aged 2, of Dunedin, New Zealand, having passed the bar examination, is the first woman admitted to practice as a barrister and solicitor in Australian courts. One of the most remarkable women in Pennsylvania is Mrs. Mary Ann Cassidy of Coalport, Clearfield County, who is now 105 years of age. She was the mother of thir- teen boys and five girls; nine are living and nine dead. She gave birth to four pairs of twins. Mrs. Cassidy was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1792, emigrating with her husband and family to this coun- try in 1845. Some sentences of court martial were pre- sented to the youthful Queen Victoria for signature. One was of death for desertion. . ‘Have you nothing to say on behalf of this man?’ asked the Queen, “Nothing, madam; he has deserted three times,”’ said the offi- cial. “Think again, my lord,” said the Queen, Whereupon the gallant soldier re- plied, “He is certainly a very bad soldier, your Majesty, but he may be a good man for all 1 know to the contrary.” ‘Thank you,” sald Her Majesty, and wrote “Par- ‘car is normally healthy, such overcrowding (This column is open to ererybody who has 6 complaint to make, a grievance to ventilate, in- formation to give, a subject of genera] interest, on any non-political topic, to discuss or a public serv- lee to acknowledge, and who can put the idea into less than 100 words. Long letters cannot be printed.) In Hard Luck. To the Editor. Will you kindly allow me to register a kick as to how some of our business men discriminate against married men in search of employment. I have been out of work for eghteen months, and in several instances have been refused employment on account of being married and also on account of my age. I acn 40 years of age and have a wife and six children, ranging from 2 to 15 years old,.but because of this fact it seems in some instances I am barred out. I have three boys, 11, 18 and 15 years old, but it seems impossible for them even to get work. Now, I don’t want to beg, borrow or steal, but the cold facts are these, that if I don't get work within the next few days starva- tion stares myself and family in the face, while if I had been a single man I could have made enough easily to get along quite comfortably. ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATES. St. Louls, July 1. If Coal Goes Up. To the FAditor. If the price of coal coes up now !t will not affect the people particularly. No one except the hotels, factories, offices and railways uses coal this weather. It 1s practically banished from residences. We are all ad- dicted to the gasoline or gas stove habit just now. If the rise tn price will help to stop the strike of the miners, let ‘er go up. We can stand it. But will the miners get the benefit of the rise after all? I doubt it. St. Louis, July 2. QUASIMODO. The Railway Wrecks. To the Fditor. Shocking railway accidents are getting altogether too frequent. We have had three with loss of life in the last week. This must be caused by increasing carelessness on the part of officials and employes, and the public have a right to demand that greater care be exercised. The officers or employes, or both, responsible for such accidents should be punished. Human lIife is as valuable in America as in some of the European countries where they have much fewer accidents to the mile of railway. As for the spreading of rails on account of the heat, this would not be possible if the track were well ballasted. At least that ts my opinion, and I would like to have some practical railroad man say if it is not cor- rect. TRAVELER. St. Louis, June 30. Noble Trees Sacrificed. To the Fditor. Henry Shaw would turn in his grave at the wholesale. sacrifice of noble shade trees on the road leading from the gates of Shaw’s Garden out to Grand avenue, The trustees of the Shaw property are pulling these trees down in order to convert the road into a fancy boulevard, and scores of the noble trees are already ly'ng prostrate. This was probably the finest avenue of trees in the city, and now that the electric cars have begun to take people out there where the shade and beauty could be en- joyed, the trees must come down. They say it was in order to widen the street, but the street could have been widened on each side without destroying this fine shady avenue, planted by Mr. Shaw himself. St. Louis, July 2. TOWER GROVE. Overcrowded Street Cara. To the Faitor. The New York Health Department has been investigating the overcrowding of cars in that eclty. The St. Louis Board of Health could do likewise with much benefit to the public. During certain hours dafly most of the St. Louls street cars are overcrowded. The people have long protested against it be- cause of its discomfort. They can probably get justice quicker by protesting on the ground of its being unhealthy. ven if every person on an overcrowded tends to lower the physical status of the strongest. Nerves are constantly strained and the weaker passengers leave the car !n a condition much worse than when they got on, The Health Commissioner has general su- — eee [LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. | , appears to have power enough to make an rome menos pervision of the health of the city, ‘and under Article V. of the Revised Ordinance investigation of this character. : oes . ’ " Dp Nn at INAUL { : « | _ : 2 a SE — ‘ “a - rz Ls Pall 3 ‘ Te st r . a = Spe,’ The overcrowded car nuisance ought to! be abated. St. Louis, July 3. The Anti-Weed Crusade, To the Editor. Except that high weeds afford a shelter Ss. W. FASCINATING, for tramps and would-be criminals, I can see no reason for the anti-weed crusade, How can weeds, short or tall, be harmful to health in a city’s limits while they do no harm out in the country, except to the farmer’s crope? Do not weeds help to dry up wet land by sucking the moisture? Don’t they, 89 well as more directly useful plants, give out oxygen all day? Scientists make no exceptions in plant life in this regard. Are not weeds merely planta whose full use we have not yet discovered? As for their furnishing a lurking place for “germs, that is an imaginary danger, in my opin- ion.

The “public comfort stations” in the parks | are entirely inadequate, and some of them fence of the public the contractors have been allowed to put up temporary buildings, as if in a few years we might abandon the parks? These stations might as well be built for permanent use and fitted with the most modern sanitary appliances now, 48 a hun- dred years hence, after millions of peop’ who had helped pay for them had been dis- gusted with them. St. Louis, July 4 The Great Strike. To the Editor. The success of the miners’ strike will de- pend on the orderliness of It, and on the leaders keeping the matter prominently be- fore the public. It is much easier to win a railroad or street car strike than a miners’ strike, because railroad and street car men are always in contact with the public. Min- ers, poor fellows, are comparatively un- known, situated away in the country, and JAMES B, the public is very apt to forget they exist unless they have competent mouthpieces and axaressive,and wise leaders.

Mrs. Ward, the deserted wife, is en route to England, having sailed from New York on last Wednesday. She is known to have talked freely of the Bradburys before going, That she had not the slightest suspicion of the approaching domestic disaster is cer- tain. She wag in the happiest of spirits, and was not only much elated because she would see her 6-year-old son, who is with his grandparents, the Wards, in London, but also because, as she said many times, her husband would immediately follow her to their English home. She said she would Mr. ard in the care of her dear mn Mrs. Bradbury.

The main difference between the two happenings is that In the latter instance all those con- cerned are of the highest stand’ng socially.. Mrs. Ward ts the daughter of bon Juan Bandini, a wealthy and aristocratic 8 aniard of Senta Monica. It was while the Don and his wife and daughter were on the Continent nine years ago that Misa Bandini met Ward. ey were married about a year later in London, and there they lived with Ward’s family until three years ago, Ward had not a penny. but he was a very attractive young man, and his family oF eR -, connections were unimpeachable Cc ° Ward and Miss Bandini began their do- mestic career in a blaze of notoriety. Ward had gust been embroiled tn a scanda! with an acdventuress, posing as Countess de Hen- riot, when he eloped with the heiress to the Bandini millions and was married. He is now 2 years old, and she is five years younger. After their marriage they began a life of prodigal expenditure. Her husband had inherited a dozen paying gold mines and millions of dollars’ worth of rea! and per- sonal property. They were somewhat yul- gar in heir display and in the manner of their living. There was champagne at their tables three times a day. The Bradbury’s and the Wards became in- timates. The wives of the two families were as sisters. They were both lovely women. Mrs, Ward, a brunette, is of medium height and slender. She is sa'd by those who have seen her to be a woman from whom it was most difficult to remove ones eyes, so,fas- cinating Is she tin her loveliness, She ts not more than 25 years old. Mrs. srnaoety is rather tall and is also slender. She is a natural blonde and is noted for her giddiness as well as for the changing colors of her hair, and the use of much powder, Col. Bradbury was very jealous. Dispatches detailing the San Francisco af- fair have been sent to Mrs. Ward. who ide Wednesday. The friends of Mrs. Bradbury have been using every effort to effect a reconciliation with her husband who, before his departure, ostensibly for Europe, showed a disposition to forgive his erring spouse, on condition that she no longer receive the attentions of Ward. Several messages were wired by Mrs. Bradbury to her relatives in Southern California, all written in a penitent mood, and conveying, by Inference, the idea that the arrest of herself and her paramour had shattered her romantic dream. If the wronged husband !{s willing to forgive and traveling ratic wife believe that peace may be re- stored in the palatial home of the Brad. burys, Ward ts likely to remain tn hot water until the officera of the Soclety for the Prevention of Vice, which caused his ar- rest, are satisfied that the Iason is ended, at least so far as its notoriety in this city is concerned It is insisted that Immediately after ob- taining h's freeiom Ward joined Mrs. Brad- bury at the home of Mrs. Norman Brough, better known as Helen Dare, a newspaper writer.

The grand arch on Market street is the most conspicuous of all the decorations. With its thousands of electric lNghts illu- ninating the many colors of its adornment, srom each feature of which a grand wel- come fairly blazes, the hospitality of which it is the demonstration should go far to compensate the travelers for the weariness of an overland trip in summer.

Miller of Canton. ‘“‘That ts to eay,”’ he add- ed, “‘there is nothing easy about it, as some of my friends may think.” The Pres'dent’s relatives and friends here have noticed during his visit home that he looke tired. He and his friend, Judge Day, Assistant Secretary of State, took a Fourth of July holiday of forty-eight hours, and Tuesday morning will see them work in Washington. They persist in rest- ing here and never has the President of the United Statee been let alone so splendid- man alone since his arrival. In fact, it is possible that he would prefer more callers, if they were laden with information on Ohio politics. President McKinley serenely emoked his cigar and chatted with the Post-Dispatch correspondent. He was sitting on the porch of his mother’s house and seemed satisfied with life. “T have had a eplendid rest,” “and fee] much refreshed,” He was surrounded by his own kin, hie fond old mother next to him, and then his sisters, cousins and wife. Asked if he Iin- tended to cruise along the New England coast this summer, President M-Kinley re- he said, | back at 9 o'clock to-night. igo with us Dlied: ‘Not that I know of now. made no plans for the summer, My only p! an that | am sure of is that we will go Judge Day will In fact, I have did not say so to Aithough ‘the President he did the Post- Dispate h correspondent, say to an old neighbor: “T am anxious to get back to Washington by Tuesday as the tariff bill is nearin sletion and I fee) that I ought to be there.’ Very little mail came to the President since his arrival here. He has resolutely kept from pubiic business. Judge Day, to the Post-Dispatch corre- ‘spondent made this significant remark: ‘Tam going out of Washington for a va- eation very soon. The new tariff bill will soon be a law, and when Gen. Woodford starts for Spain there will not be much of import: ance to detain me in Washington.’ ‘Then you don’t think there will be any troublk + Ba speck of war on the horizon?” was ask **No,”’ “he replied. “I see no reason why there should be, I sincerely hope there will be none, Of course will be within easy reach of the President and can easily re- turn If needed.’ Rewarding Gen. Woodford, the Minister to Spa n, Becretary Day adde a: “Gen. Weodford is going iInto'‘the work with great zeal. He looks upon his appoint- ment as a duty, not as @ pieasure trip, for he has much hard service ahead of him. For the last few days | have seen him every day and he !s etudying the Cuban aitua- tion with great care. He will not sail before Juiy 3), and will spend more time in the State Department before his departure.” President McKinley attended churoh yes- terday with his mother. She was the proud- est woman in all Canton. There was an ex- ira s0Ong fervice in honor of his presence but no reference to him in the sermon and none by name in Rev. Manchester's pray- ers.

- Wlonday— St. Couis Post-Dispatch—Iuly 5, 1897. (GEST EVER RUN. iB FIVE HUNDRED RIDERS IN THE CHICAGO ROAD RACE. AC CCIDENTS WERE NUMEROUS. Ll] 1VY, LAST YEAR'S WINNER, FELL AND BROKE HIS LEG, Pullman Road Race Won by a Seven- Minute Man, and Charles Lavin Takes the Time Prize. CHICAGO, July 6.—Carl A. Anderson, a seven-minute man, won the Pullman road race in 49m. Ss. R. W. Merrill and Charles rorryberg, eix-minute men, were respect- ively second and third. Charies Lavin, a scratch man, was first time prize winner, with unofficial time of 0m. 16a. Fred Nelson and Orlando Adams, scratch men, also were respectively second and third time prize winners. James Levy, win- ner of last year's time prize in the Pullman race, fell from his wheel on the last turn to-day, breaking his leg. The event, properly speaking, was the second annual race of the South Side Cy- cling Club. The race was over the Pullman course, the start being made at the ocor- ner of Michigan avenue and Jackson street, and through Washington Park, down the historic Midway Plaisance, and through Jackson Park, thence south to the village een, a distance of about eighteen miles. The field was the largest that ever started in a Western road race, nearly all of 617 entries responding to the call of the starter. The conditions were far from per- fect, last night’s heavy rain having soft- ened the roads, and the great number of riders and the narrowness of the roads west of the park system brought disaster to many an ambitious rider. Eight men were on scratch, “‘Pop’’ Smed- ley, the winner of the Decoration Day road race, being given a handicap of 2m. 30s. The start was scheduled for 8:30 a. m., but the great number of riders made the race 4 rather unwieldy affair, and it was after o'clock before the men were sent away. D. E. WISE THE WINNER. fook the Cross-Country Cyclers’ Time Prize. Fifteen riders compete4 in the annua) road race of the Cross untry Cyclers at Forest Park Monday mofning. They went the full course, three times around, the start potas made at 7:30 o'clock. D. E. ise won the first time prise and Ben May the second. Their time was 36:03 and 36:39, respectively. J. H. Ebill, Jr., with & start of six minutes over the scratoh men, won the first place prize, and D. E ise, three minutes, wag second. There were no accidents. ILLINI YACHT RACES Started Early, So the Course Could Be Covered. The Illini Yacht Club races are being @ailed Monday at Illini Island, just across from Clifton Terrace. The course is the oe Eagle Nest cou and is a long one, ut the races were started at 10 o'clock, so the yachts have all day to get over the course. The power race Monday afternoon will be the most interesting and will be be- tween the Onataga, Virginia, Piasa, Ram- bler and Pscort. Honored by Their Associates. The Carr Place Bowling Club, the crack North Side or palnation on Baturday even- er ing presented Jaco le and Fred Teu- tenberg with a splendid joint rod of the best manufacture and minnow buckets.

Twenty thousand people witnessed the bicycle races in Paris, France, Sunday afternoon, and saw Linton defeat Stocks. All the stakee of the spring and summer meeting have now been run off. There re- main but three to be contested tn the fall. A tennis tournament for the championship of Centra] Missouri was begun Monday at Sedalia. Half a dozen contestants are en- tered for the singles.

The Body of an Unknown Floater Taken to the Morgue. An unknown male floater was fished out of the river at the foot of Bates sireet early Monday morning and was removed to the Morgue. The body was in the water apparently only a few days. The body Is thought to be that of Emil Metzger, whe has been missing from his home, 306% West Schirmer street, for several days. Metzger was 3) years old and was a zinc worker by occupation, THE KAISER’S NEW PLAY. A Dramatic Display of Germanic Pow- er, Himself on Top. NEW YORK, July 5.—A special to a morning paper from Berlin says: Kaiser Wilhelm has prepared another sur- prise for the literary world. This time his ambition Is histrionic and Prof. Buettner has been chosen to clothe the Imperial con- ceptions in dramatic array. It wiil be re- called that last year Germany's versatile ruler presented three allegorical tableaux to the world, the details of which were left to Prof. Knackfuss to be executed, Within a fortnight these three allegorical depictions will be published in dramatic form. Under the personal direction of His Majes- ty Prof. Buettner has, it is announced, pro- duced a most satisfactory work. The com- osition is called “Dr. Deutsche Sanct Michael,”’ and is an heroic, patriotic drama in three acts. Each act develops one of the allegorical pictures, though in reverse order from the way in which they were finished and appeared in fac similes. The first act closes with the “Exeg! monumentum aere perrennius’ (I have erected a monument more lasting than stone). It treats of Ger- many’s gradual evolution from.the time of ancient Germania to the period of the pow- erful domain of Kaiser Wilhelm l. The second act typifies the strength of Germany internally and the assurance of internal peace through prosperous cond}l- tions in municipalities. The closing tableaux of this act is formed by the picture “‘Niemand Zu Liebe Nie- mand Zu Leid” (weal and woe to none). The third act finally portrays the power of the Fatherland in external affairs—that is, the Empire's military strength—how the realm is able, allied to other states, to maintain peace. It closes with the picture, “Voelker Europas wahret eure heiligsten gueter’’ (Nations of Europe watch over your most holy possessions). —_—_——_-— --~#- - > SAILORS RIOTOUS. All on Account of a Young Lady— Japs to Blame. VANCOUVER, B. C., July 4.—There have been conflicts in the atreets of Honoiulu be- tween Japanese marines and American biue jackets. The cause is given as follows: Mss Lily West and another lady were walkivug with Miss West's brother Fred. Two Jap- anese sailors atood in their way. West brushed them aside, and they attacke! him. Several other Japanese sa.lors ran up and began beating West, who was getting the worst of it, when Miss West interfered. Then they beat her rather brutally. VIEWED WITH ALARM. Bismarck’s Organ Points to the Exten- sion of American Influence. BERLIN, July 5.—Bismarck’s organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten, views with alarm wg abe | influence of the United States in European politics, and adds: They intro- duce a new element in European politics, where new and strange interests are making themselves felt. These powers are stil! be- hind European States in strength of war and strength of culture, but there are im- portant factors which seem to promise them supremacy in the future.” It also declares that Germany's interests will be touch: d by the annexation of Hawali by the United States.

D. PRESTON DEAD. He Showed Remarkable Genius as Ca-.: terer and Chef by Which Char- ity Benefited. A death occurred on Sunday evening at a comfortable home on North Thirteenth | street, which ordinarily might have passed | unnoticed, save by the man’s family and personal friends. But it was a death that hag aroused the keenest regret in charitable circles, and will awaken interest and sympathy among thou- sande of poor people, who have been given | new hope and courage by the timely chari- ty with which Edward D. Preston was identified. For the last two years Mr. Preston con- ducted the Provident Association’s cheap restaurant and made it a great charitable success. He died of nervous prostration at his home, 1613 North Thirteenth street, at noon | on Sunday. He was 57 ygars old. | Mr. Preston, in earlier years, was a trav- | eling salesman. He used to say, laughing- | ily, that his experience in country hotels, | with their bad cooking and waste of food, | j_ | had developed in him a latent genius for economica] and efficient catering and cook- ing. ete He was not a cook or steward by educa- tion, but by natural genius. He was an intell:gent man, a keen observer, a man of charitable instincts, and his horror at waste of food when thousands were suffer- ing for want of it, amounted almost to a passion, Circumstances brought him to the notice of the managers of the Provident Associa- tion a few years ago. His sister-in-law, Mrs. A. Hutchinson, had been matron, in charge of the Provident Association's feminine work, and it was through her that Presi- dent Scruggs and the other managers of the association became acquainted with Mr. Preston's genius for making most of small things. Two years ago he was given charge of the association's scheme for feeding the poor at a nominal rate. He made their restaurant, at which a meal could be had for 5 cents, self-supporting from the start. The second year was better than the first. In both years thousands of deserving poor were fed at Mr. Preston's tables, bounteous. ly, and sent away without the sense of hav- ing accepted charity. Mr. Preston was laying his plans to have luncheons and breakfasts served for a cent during the coming winter, and so fine was his power of calculation that he had dem- onstrated its feasibility. MOTHER M’KINLEY HURT. Fell on a Doorstep and Received a Painful Injury. CANTON, O., July 5.—President McKinley arose at an -early hour this morning.. The thermometer tras been in the nineties, and did not get much below that during the night. The Pres'dent undertook to take a stroll through the yard before the sun was high in the heavens, and.shortly after joined his mother, who wae sitting on the front porch Mother McKinley met with an accident, Serious for one of her age. In walking on the porch a piece of straw carpeting slipped as she took a step and she fell to the floor, striking her forehead over the eves on a door step. Although 88 years old she was not so stunned but that she was able to arise in a few moments and walk to a stand, where she washed away the blood, She makes light of the occurrence. A_ doctor was summoned, however, and he found the cut so deep as to require sew- = up. This she insisted on having done without taking an anesthetic. At noon she did not seem to be suffering seriously from the shock and was resting easily. The string of callers at the house did not begin until some time after the accident, the news of which did not reach the citi- zens for some hours. A lawn picnic on the grounds of M'*ss Buckingham's private school, just across the street from the McKinley homestead, was the programme for late this afternoon. M'ss Buckingham will accompany the McKinleys to Washington as their guest. The depar- ture is scheduled for 9:20 this evening. SNEAK-THIEF CAUGHT. While John Doehner’ Celebrated, “Sporty” Entered His Hcuse. John Doehner was sitting out in front of his home, 2827 North Twentieth street, Sun- at the rear of the house and entered. The intruder coolly filled a bag with val- uable clothing, amounting to $150, and wag. in the act of departing, but Doehner heard | @ noise and started in pursuit. Patrolman Kohrung happened along and | joined in the chase. It proved to be a long | one, but at last the thief was caught an: found to be Frank Hessein, allas “Sporty,” who was released from the Work-housce June 28. Hessein tr.ed to commit suicide two months.ago, whilie a prisoner in the jail. A FRIGHTFUL FALL. J. 8. Cathon Dropped 125 Feet to Death at Denver. DENVER, Colo., July 5&.—J. 8.

THE MOB LACKED A LEADER. Tame Sunday Night Sequel to Recent Sensational Events About Union, Mo. | Special to the Post-Dispatch. UNION, Mo., July 5.—There was a feeble attmept at lynching the negro ravisher, Erastus Brown, who was put in jail here late Saturday night, about 2 o'clock this morning. A few men who happened to be up noticed about twenty or twenty-five men coming into town from the east. They hitched their horses about a fourth of a mile east of town and left three men to watch them. The party then walked Into town, When they reached town one-half went di- rectly to the jail. The other half went to the dwelling of Jailer Gehlert. Gehlert says he was awakened by a knock Fourth and Market, just as Patrolman Tom on his door. He opened it and asked what BABY M’KINNEY. Donlon reached the corner. A woman saw the baby’s peril and called on the officer to rescue it. . Donlon caught hold of the man and at-| tempted to take the baby from him. The' man, holding the baby tighter, struck at the officer and told him he would die be- fore he would give up his child. A scuffle ensued. So desperate was the drunken man’s resistance the officer, fear- ing he would hurt the child, called on the bystanders for assistance. They finally got the child from the drunken man. Donlon handed the child to a woman and | took the drunken man to the Chestnut Street Police Station. It was a rough and | tumble fight all the way. A large crowd had been attracted, and the woman, with the crying baby in her arms, followed the procession. At the station the drunken man gave his name as John R. McKinney, and said he lived at 2218 North Broadway. As he was dragged back to the cell he began to realize his predicament, and begged to be iet go. “My young wife will be a maniac before morning if 1 don’t get home with the baby, he cried. “It is our only child and she worships It. If you won't let me go, tor God's sake take the child to her or she wil) go crazy.”’ McKinney had not overdrawn the picture of despair that filled the two snug rooms he and his young wife occupy on the sec- ond floor of 22318 North Broadway. For four hours the distressed mother had rushed from one place to another in search of her child, and had finally gone to the North Market Police Station and asked for help. About 10:30 o’clock, exhausted and over- whelmed with grief, she returned to her home and sank down on the bed bewalling the day she had ever seen John McKinney. A few minutes later she was roused by @ knocking at her door. Flinging it open ahe saw Policeman Donlon with her blue-eyed baby peacefully sieeping in his siron arms. With a shriek of joy she snatche the baby from the policeman and kissed it. She was so overjoyed she never asked the officer where her husband was, but show- ered blessings on him for bringing back her baby safe and sound. Donlon looked reverently on her joy fora minute of two and as he turned to depart said: ‘“‘Madam, your husband is safe, too, in a cell at the bhestnut Street Station."’ And so he was, but he wept for hours before he fell into a drunken sleep, from which he did not rouse until the prisoners were to be hustled Into the patrol wagon to be transferred to the Four Courts. McKinney said Monday that he had taken the baby out for a car ride to South Bt. Louis and when near Clark avenue on his return an acquaintance standing on the sidewalk called to him. He got off and with his friend went into a saloon and had sev- eral drinks: He started up the street with his’ friend and didn’t know how he got on Fourth street. He said he would have got home all right with the baby if it had not been for the woman calling on the police- man to take it from him. Drawing from his pocket three small pictures the disconsolate prisoner said; ‘And here is the little fellow’s picture. I had three of them taken down In Caronde- let as a surprise to his mamma, for she has been tay ape: BP pete McKinney és about % years old, and a fireman ‘at the American Brake Beam at rs. McKénney is a delicate, refined looking little woman, who was still suffer- ing Monday from the nervous strain she had undergone during the hours the baby was mise.ng. She said: “My husband was perfectly sober when he left home about 4 o'clock. He wanted me to go along, but I was not well enough, and he said he would be back by 6 o'clock. When he didn't eome I went to a friend’s house on Franklin avenue where we usually visit on Sunday. When I found he had not been there I grew ner- vours. Then I went to several of his haunts, and finally to the police station. “They were the most harrowing hours I ever spent, from 6 to 10 o'clock, and the most joyous moment of my life was when I saw the good officer with the baby at my door. It is the last time John will ever get out of my sight with the baby." McKinney was released in time to eat his holiday dinner at home. For Wronging Annie King. On comgiatnt of Annie King, aged 14, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson !s- sued a Warrant Monday against Joseph Ne- ville, charging him with petraying her un- der gg moe of marriage, last December. Neville lives at 1911 Destrehan street, and the girl at 1919 Warren street. Sent Back to the Asyluin.

I t oe man was drowned, but th ee a be verified. xt her h oe eee geband, who says her was wanted. He found some eight or ten men on his narrow porch and in the yard, , One man stepped forward and sald his name was Jones, from Dry Branch, and he had a prisoner to put in jail. Gehiert asked for his commitment. The man put his hand in his pocket, as if to draw forth a paper, at the same time advancing on Gehlert. When within three feet of him he suddenly grabbed the jailer and demanded the keys to the jail, so they could hang that black —. As Gehlert is 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighs about 20 pounds, and is a very powerful blacksmith, he found it*an easy matter to hurl his assailant over the banisters onto the ground, and before any of the others could get their. wits about them he was in the house with the door shut. He then grabbed his revolver and told them if they did not leave town immediately he would shoot them all. Parties living in the eastern part of town say the crowd straggled out of town in all kinds of gaits except a slow walk. The men were all armed and some were masked. Those who went to the jail were notified of the failure at the jaller’s house by a man .on horseback and they all left. The crowd were not in town more than fifteen or twen- ty minutes, There are a few in town who say there was no intention of lynching Brown, but that it was just a party trying to scare Jailer Gehlert, but Gehlert says he wants none of that kind of ecaring. The prisoner spends a good deal of his time praying.

NEW YORK, July 5.—A dispatch to the World from Havana says: Senors Borelles, Marandios, Natrones and Diaz, all wealthy residents of Guanabacoa, were arrested recently and hurried to jail. The next night their homes were invaded by troops_and police and their wives and daughters were forced to go with the men, hardly having a chance to dress. Indeed two of them, handsome giris of 16 and 18, were taken away in their night garments, the soldiers indulging inthe coarest jest regarding them and thelr ap- pearance.

The publisher has been fined and the editor is under arrest. The Madrid pictorial paper, Blanco y Negr, has been excluded from cir- culation In Cuba on account of its reproduc- tion of American characters ridiculing Wey- ler’s reconstruction policy.

Seven hundred and seventy !ill and wound. ed Spanish troops have embarked for home ai Gen. Weyler’s request, to make room in the hospitals for the new fever and sma!l- pox victims who are stricken down from day to day. Miss Whilberferce still hopes to persuade Gen.

One would state with great confidence that he could con- vince any sane child that the simpler propositions of Euclid are true, but nevertheless he would fail with one who should deny the definitions and axioms, The principles of Jefferson are the defini- tions of free society, and yet they are denied or evaded with no small show of success. One dashingly calls them glit- tering generalities, another styles them self-evident lies and another insiduously argues that they apply only to superior races. These expressions differing in form are identical in object and effect—the supplanting the principles of free gov- ernment—and restoring those of classifi- cation, caste and legitimacy. They would delight a convocation of crowned heads plotting against the people. They are the vanguards, the sappers and miners of returning despotism. We must repulse them or they will subjugate us. This isa world of compensation and he who would be no slave must consent to have no Blave. Those who deny freedom to others. deserve it not for themselves, and under @ just God they cannot long retain it. All honor to Jefferson—to the man who in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people had the coolness, forecast and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document an abstract truth applicable to all men and all times, and so embalm it that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a stumbling block to the har- bingers of reappearing tyranny and op- pression, Your obedient servant, A.

BATESVILLE, Ark., July 5.—The most disastrous fire that ever occurred in this city swept over the principal business parts of the city yesterday, entailing a loss of prop- erty of $50,000, and probably the loss of several lives. The origin of the fire ts not known, but it is supposed to have been caused by firecrackers. In Venezuela, NEW YORK, July 6.—A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, says: Independence Day was celebrated here with enthusiasm. Wiliam Russell, the Secretary of the Unit- ed States Legation, and at present the American Charge d’Affaires, held a recep- tion which was attended by the leading Venezuelans and by the diplomatic corps. PARDON FOR GILMORE. Police Officials Had Frequently Recom- mended That He Have Exec- utive Clemency. One of the happiest men In Missour! Mon- day, and one who has occasion to ever re- member and celebrate the glorious 4th, was Michael Gilmore. For twelve years Gil- more has worn the stripes and endured the hardship. of a felon in the penitentiary at Jefferson City. His crime was that of murder in the second degree, and the sen- tence was for fifty years. At the time Gilmore recelved this sentence he was accounted lucky. The crime with which he stood charged had few mitigat'ng | circumstances in the eyes of the jury and, court, and so vigorous was the prosecution it looked for a time as though Gilmore would atone for his mortal offense on the gallows. He not only escaped the gallows, but to- day he is a free man, Dy the grace of Gov. Stephens. It is the custom of the Governor of the State on each succeeding Fourth of July to pardon a number of convicts who have served long terms, when the facts will jus- t:fy such action. Gilmore was the only St. Louisian who was on the Governor’s lucky Ist this Fourth, Twelve years ago Giimore Killed a man named Stanton itn Lahey’s saloon at Sixth Stan- ton was Gilmore's friend. They had known each other for years. Gilmore was an en- gineer on river packets and Stanton often Barly one evening, after the boat had been tl up for the night, Stanton and Gilmore repaired to Lahey’s saloon, which was a resort for river men, and were drinking when ‘“‘Red” Mooney came in. Mooney kept a lunch-room in that nelgh- borhood, and there was a 4ifference be- tween him and Gilmore. Mooney was drink- ing, in a bad humor, and began a quar- rel with Gilmore. They came to blows, and Gilmore, having got the worst of it, ran out of the saloon. He soon returned with a pistol in his pocket. Mooney was still there, and Stanton was at the bar, almost directly behind Mooney. Mooney made a dash at Gilmore as he en. tered the door. CHimore drew the pistol j}and began to shoot. The second shot struck his friend Stanton just below the heart, and he died shortly afterward. Mooney he ~~ without hurt. Gilmore had never been In trouble before and was considered a deserving fellow, as he supported his aged mother comfortably. He was 38 years old and unmarried. The only palliating circumstances were that all three of the men were intoxicated. Mooney had started the row, and, being a much larger man than Gilmore, had im- posed upon him. But it was contended by the State that Gilmore had time to reflect between the fight and when he returned with the pistol to do murder. He has been an exemplary convict, and Chief of Detectives Desmond and severai others who knew him wel! had often tried to prevall on Gov. Stone during his term to »sardon him. Gilmore’s mother spent all she ~ in his defense, and died several years ago, broken-hearted and almost in want. IN SUMMER ATTIRE. A Prisoner Without Trousers Landed in Jail Monday. Great amusement was created tn the fall Monday morning when Deputy Sheriff Troll brought Sag Smith, a negro, from the hold- over. Smith was lightly and airly clad in a soft hat, a white shirt. a pair of shoes and an air of unconscious modesty. His trousers had been taken from him in the holdover by order of Chief Désmond, they having been identified by the man from whom Smith had stolen them. The half-naked prisoner's entrance to jall was the signal for an outburst from the jail inmates. he female preoners were eape- clally hilarious over ith’s appearance, deprived nee te be threatened with being bour ore A HOT TIME IN THE OLO TWN, SCREAM OF THE EAGLE HUSHED IN THE DIN AND RACKET OF GIANT CRACKERS. Doctors and Dispensaries Do a Rush- ing Business Mending the Children. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS A BUSY TIME SMOTHERING CONFLAGRATIONS. Mishaps and Miseries of Uncle Henry’s Wide-Open and Unsurpassed Fourth of July. Tt, is a popular impression that upon the fourth day of evéry July the American eagle, wherever he may be, if on the dome of a Federal building, or ornamenting the sides of a mall wagon, or even if he’s in a& cage in the adity park, gets up on the tips of his claws, throws out the feather around his neck like an Elizabethan ruff, stretches his wings and screams until] all the national animals, such as the Non and the bear, lower their heads and break for the woods in terror. Sunday and Monday were the days set for the eagles to scream this year. May- be they did, but nobody in St. Louls heard "em. No eagle that ever happened could have made himself heard in the town un- less he was supplied with a steam whistle in his body In place of lungs. It is doubtful then if an eagle with a sl'ding valve steam whistle could have made his notes audible. The nolse of the small boys with their torpedoes, giant crackers and toy cannons was too great. Uncle Henry Ziegenhein had told them to go ahead and make the Fourth of July last three days if they wanted to and to make all the din in their power. Uncle Henry was taken at his word and the Fourth of July, 1897, will go on record as one of the largest, widest- open, noisiest, most scorching Fourths in the annals of the town, The youngéters have been celebrating practically for a week. Stray bombs here and there began exploding five or six days ago, and Saturday night there was a cre- scendo.All day Sunday—making little differ- ence to those fired with ehthusiasm if the neighborhood contained a church or two— the cannons boomed and the _ torpedoes rattled until old St. Louis fairly shook upon her foundations. If streets strewn with scraps of red and gilt paper, and an atmosphere heavy with the smell of gunpowder and so disturbed a deluge is likely to fall at any moment, are evidences of patriotism, there can be no complaint that the espirit of ‘76 does mot hover over St. Louls. In every respect, aside from its unusual racket, this Fourth was just Jike any other old Fourth. Enough money was burnt in fireworks to free Cuba or buy the Sandwich Islands without consulting Japan. And the weather was exactly what the weather man said it woyldn’t be. He promised his sub- qoots here Saturday night that no matter ow hot the day started out there would be nice, cooling showers in the afternoon, to be followed by several days of tolerable climate. Of course, it won't do to say the weather man prevaricated, but the fact re- mains that the charred body of a man who went to a picnic with a mackintosh and a heavy blanket on the strength of the weather clerk’s promise, !s now at the morgue awaiting identification. Notwithstanding Monday was the day ap- pointed for observance by law, the greater part of St. Louis celebrated Sunday as well. The parks were thronged as early as 7 o'clock with pleasure seekers, who took their lunch baskets with them and prepared to make a day of it. The river excursions were heavily patronized, and it was well into the morning before the street cars were rid of their heavy loads. The summer theaters were crowded all day and evening, and the soda water fount- ains were kept busy. Many families took their children and flre- works into the country and there fractured the Sabbath, while most of them sat on the front door steps and threw fire crackers into the street. Bicyclers were out by the thousands, tak- ing in all of the country roads and swarming through the parks. The Fresh Air Fund picnic at the Fair Grounds drew quite a large crowd that was disappointed in not witnessing a balloon as- cension, but enjoyed the fireworks. Monday most of the big stores down town were closed, and the streets were compara- tively quiet. The wholesale districts were deserted, all public buildings were closed and the baser- minded of the population was so well-be- haved that Chief Desmond had all he could do to keep his men awake. The principal draft from the city popula- tion was caused by the big Democratic plic- nic at Spanish Lake and the Montesano excursions. UNCLE HENRY BLAMED. Small Boys and Fire Crackers Disturb Two Congregations, Small boys and fireworks almost broke up the worship in two big churches Sunday evening, and at the same time caused cer- tain good church members to shatter the biblical Injunctions regarding harsh words | about one’s enemies, Nobody else than Uncle Henry Ziegen- hein was the person against whom all the harsh words were uttered. He was blamed up hill and down dale for advising Young America to go ahead and raise Ned on the Fourth with a snap of the finger for any meddling policeman who tried to stop the noise, The Rev. Michael Burnham, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational Church at Washing- ton and Pwing avenues was deep In his ser- mon Sunday evening when a bomb was ex- ploded in the vestibule of the church, that nearly blew out the windows. Mr. Burnham stopped in his. remarks and re- quested one or two gentlemen to go outside and complain to the police. This they did, but were told that arrests were useless as the boys would not be prosecuted In view of the Mayor's words regarding the celebra- tion of the Fourth. ' The gentlemen appealed to the boys, and then went back into the church. In less than fiVe minutes there was another explo- sion. This time three giant crackers were set off, causing a number of giris on the street to yell Like Indians, while a lady in the congregation was carried out faint. Mr. Burnham then said it seemed useless to try to stop the racket, and remarking something else about fireworks tn the ful- ure, went on with his sermon. The remainder of the services was punctuated with torpedo erts and bomb explosions. he same disturbance of worship was gone | through with at the Union M. BE. Church at Lucas and Garr'son avenues. At times the din wae so great the words of the preacher eould not be heard by those in the front pews. A choice assortment of roman candles added to the excitement furnished by tor- pedos and cannon crackers. Dr. Leacock was preaching and his subject was “(Chr stian Citizenship.”.He managed to make himself heard through the racket long enovgh to declare that !f some of the truths he was preaching were lived up to a self-reenec rag city government would see to it that publi worship would not be disturbed in such a disgraceful manner. : Fell Off His Wheel, Gasconade and Meramec streets. Bomsboty shot off a big fire cracker. Teschier loo back and fel. off his wheel, breaking his leg. ACCIDENTS WERE MANY. ~ Small Boys, Men and Women Hurt by Exploding Fireworks. Bandages, lint, salve and doctors were in great demand on the Fourth and Monday. Accidents happened in all parts of the c-ty and to all kinds-of persons. Luckily tew of them were serious. The small boy was the victim of most of the catastrophes. Steel, Cocaine and Whisky.

Two Fingers Less Than He Once Had. William Shelton of 210 Franklin avenue stood in front of his home Monday morning and watched some boys celebrate in a pic- | turesque fashion. Thev had a common tin can, a hillock of common mud and & cents’ worth of common gunpowder. Mixed tions and set off by a common parlor match they acquired uncommon noise-making and destructive properties. The can was filied with two layers of mud on top of a layer of powder. The mud was well rammed When it began to sizzle the can was thrown in the air. When the explosion came if the can was upside down the mud came down. If the can was right side up the mud went up and the can came down very quickly. It came down that way once while Shel. ton was looking on. He did not stand from under. It struck his left hand. has two fingers less than he had before. Dr. Newcomb treated him at the Dispensary and sent him home, Ought to Have Known Better. Frank Owens lighted a toy cannon at Twenty-third and Chestnut streets at 10 o'clock Monday. He is 45 years old and a cab driver. At the City Hospital he said he was old enough to have known better. When he applied the match to the vent the expected explosion came, but something was wrong and the charge came backward. The cannon burst, and pieces played havooe with Frank’s face and neck. The powder was blown under the skin. His eyes es- caped without injury, and he is thankful for that. Frank lives at 1441 Chouteau avenue, Didn’t Let Go in Time. Frank G. Leach arose at 5 o'clock Monday morning. He sleeps in a room on the sec- ond floor at his home, 4115 Fairfax avenue.
