The Jail Doors Were Broken Down and the Negro Hanged on a Willow ‘Tree. Special to the Post-Dispatch. UNION, Mo., July 10.—Erastus Brown, the would-be ravisher of Miss Anna Foerving, waa lynched early this morning. About 1:30 o'clock a crowd of between forty and fifty rode into Union on horseback from the East. All were heavily armed, and accom- panying them was a spring wagon, which was driven immediately to the jail. From the spring wagon tools were taken, and it fFequired but two blows with a sledge ham- mer to break in the outer door of the jail building. This opens into a small hallway, which is between the jail proper and the front of the building. This is but a wooden door, and was not calculated to keep pris- oners in or mobs out. Once Inside this passage ft was but a moment before a dozen desperate and de- termined men were upstairs pounding at the large iron door which opens into the jail corridor. It required fifteen minutes break through this door, which was ac- complished by cutting and breaking the bar in the lock, which was three inches wide by three-fourths of an inch thick. An attempt was made to break the rock on which the hinges were fastened, but this Was given up and the bolt cut. to When once this blind door was opened, the lock on the inside door to the cor- widor and the lock to the cell door, behind which sat the trembling wretch, were soon broken. As soon as the men got to him his arms and feet were bound tightly. 4 rope one inoh in diameter and fifty feet long was put around his neck, and amidst the cursing of the mob he was carried Gown the same steps down which but a few months ago Arthur Duestrow had marched to his ignominious death. But he went in a different manner. Dues- trow marched erect and firmly between two Deputy Sheriffs. Brown’ was carried down limp by a mob and placed in the Spring wagon, which had brought the tools and ropes. | : The party then drove slowly out of town the way they came, and drove across the covered bridge which crosses the Bourbois @ half mile east of town. About an eighth of a mile east of the bridge in the bottom there is a small willow tree by the side of The tree is not more than 25 feet high, about 12 Inches In diameter at the ground, and is not more than 6 Inches in diameter, out. party to climb this tree and place the rope over the limb, draw it tightly and let the till dead.

He concluded discretion was the better part of valor and did so. Moutler, The pounding on the jail aroused ten or) ; it back to jail. The Coroner, U. G. Miller, held an inquest at 9 a. m. There were two other prisoners in the jalfl at the time, both white men, Frank Edsel and Westy Stonly, who are each serving short jail sentences. They were both awake and saw most of the proceedings through the iron bars of their cell doors. They say Brown had spent most of the time praying since he has been in the jail, and had asked them to pray for him. He had spent much of the early part of the night before he was hanged in praying and in singing re- ligious songs. The two prisoners say that Brown did not utter one word from the time the noise first began until he left the jail on his fatal trip. Edsel is firm in the belief that the negro was just about scared to death before he left the jail. The girl whom he assaulted is recovering. It has developed that the fiend did not accomplish his purpose. This the young woman has always maintained, and at the instance of Prosecuting Attorney Charles E. Farrar, three reputable physicians ex- amined her, and found no physical evidence that a criminal assault had been committed. The jury impaneled by Coroner Miller re- turned the following verdict: Erastus Brown came to his death by be- ing hung by parties to us unknown, and that he died by strangulation. (Bigned A. GOEBEL, H. HAWKINS, A. KROMOLOWSKI, Cc. M. BUCK, JOHN MUELLER, ARTHUR RENNER. There were no marks of violence upon his person except that made by the rope around his neck.

EFFECT OF THE HEAT ON MRS. HERMANN’S DERANGED MIND. SHE ATTACKED BOTH PARENTS. Misfortune Had Sent the Young Wo- man to the Asylum, but She Was Thought to Be Cured. The effect of heat on a deranged mind caused Mrs. Nellie Hermann to attempt to kill her parents Saturday morning. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Majors, who keep a bakery at 1102 North High street. A year ago she gave birth to a child; a few days after she lost her m‘nd. On September 19 her husband, Philip Her- mann, deserted her.

A short time ago she was released as ec.red. Her parents took her home. The heat of the last few days has caused her to become nervous and excitable. Fearing a return of her malady, her parents kept a close watch on her. She passed a sleepless night. and when she arose Saturday morning she was almost hysterical. About 10 o’clock she suddenly became vio- lently mad. She seized a large bread-knife and flew at her mother, who was walting on customers inthe shop. The old lady fled, screaming, into the back room. The girl followed. Her father ran from the bake- room and after a struggle wrenched the knife from the frenzied woman’s hand. Mrs. Hermann continued to rave, and hurled everything she could get her hand on at her parents. She was finally calmed, and her father started with her to the City Dispensary. At Eleventh and Market streets she again became violent, and her wild shrieks drew a large crowd. She was taken Into the consultation room, and Dr. Newcomb tried to calm her, but she screamed the louder, and people came running from all the offices in the City Hall. Mrs. Hermann was sent to the City Hos- pital for observation, her father accom- panying her. Mrs. Hermann is 27 years old, plump and geod looking.

C., July 10.—The iIn- tense heat of the past ten days in the Cen- tral valleys, due here in part to the stagna- tion of the atmosphere, has been broken by the forward movement of the trough , of low pressure from Kansas to the lake regions, and by the advance of the high pressure area from the North Pacific coast to Colorado. A fall in temperature of 20 degrees in 24 hours has been reported from Sioux City and Concordia. The area indicating the fal] in tempera- ture has advanced to the Sth meridian and covers the whole country from that meridian to the Rocky Mountains, except Northern Louisiana, extreme Northeastern ‘Texas, Georgia and South Carolina, where the temperature has risen 2 degrees. It is probable that this cooler weather will reach the lower lake region this afternoon and the Atlantic States Sunday afternoon, giving cooler weather for several days. LOOKING FOR AN HEIR. John Helming of St. Louis Comes Into Property. A letter to the Chief. of Police was re- ceived Saturday from C. L. Roberts, an at- torney at Evansville, Ind., asking for the address of the heir to a fortune. The letter follows: “TI wrote you some time since, mak- ing inquiry of one John Helming, for- merly of Evansville. I received your re- ply, stating that his name did not appear in the City Directory. Since then I have been informed that he was known by the name of “Shorty,”’ and has been work- ing on steamboats and at one time was an inmate of the Boatman’s Hospital and registered on the boats on which he was employed last summer. “He is an heir and intere-ted In his fae ther’s estate in this city His father is dead and a suit is now pending in the Cireult Court to settle the estate and make distr'bution of the property. ‘Tl am informed that he hed lodgings on the correr of Th'rd and Spruce strets, in your city, with a woman who had @ grocery, whose name I am unable to as- certain.

As, however, the does not fix a date within which a settlement of the questions in dispute must be effected, and, as it does not mention the steps it is proposed to take in the event of Turkey not yielding to the wishes of the powers, there is great doubt as to whether the note will have the desired effect. The Sultan having wired to Emperor Francis Joseph, asking his friendly assist- ance in arriving at a settlement of the frontier question, the Emperor replied by telegram, assuring the Sultan of his “sincere friendship’’ and urging him to conclude peace with Greece on the basis of the con- ditions the Ambassadors have formulated.

SHOWERS AND COOLER. For St. Louls and vicinity—Showers Saturday afternoon or night; Sunday fair, cooler. For Missouri--Sbowers Saturday afternoon; Fair and cooler Seturday night and Sunday. For [llincie—Showers in the extreme southern portion Saturday afternoon, fair and cooler fat- urday night and Sunday. The river at St. Loals will continue to fall. The low area bas moved eastward to the Ublo Valley and Lake Region, causing rain in its progress in nearly all districts except Missouri, Illinois and Obio. Heavy rains fell in portions of Kansas, Ne braska and Iowa. In fact, with the exceptions above named, some rain fell tn all districts west of the Allegheny Mountatns. Cool weather prevailed Friday in the North- west and extteme West. Elsewhere high tem- peratures continued generally, but during the f night there was a general fall, ranging from 2 ’ to 20 degrees, the greatest falls occurring ia | Kaeneas and Northwestern lowa. - It POST-DISPATCH THERMOMETER. ; At 7 o’clock Saturday morning the ther- mrometer in the various cities registered the figures given above. If compared with the figures of the same hour Friday, it will be seen that every place has been favored with a drop of tempera- . ture. St. Louls alone was snubbed in the distribution of relief. There is only one other place in the country as hot as St. Louls, that is Oklahoma City. Dr. Frankenfield groaned as he sat at his desk in the weather office and confessed the truth. “It's no use, my boy; I’ve been picked out as a mark. promised cooler weather yes- terday, and what's the result? Every place within 1,000 miles of St. Louls cooler. “How do I account for it? I don’t. ?P car.'t, I'm beginning to believe it's because I'm here. There's a conspiracy to make me lose my job. “If there were any other observer here and I were asked why St. Louls remained so ‘warm while other localities were cooling off, I'd say it was because the excessive local heat prevented the clouds from gathering over the city and vicinity. Did you notice the sky yesterday afternoon? The clouds tried bravely to form themselves and give us a shower, but the air was too dry. “Please don’t ask me what the prospects are. I am almost afraid to speak about It. Such luck as I play in is enough to jar any man’s faith in himself. If I say outright it will get hottter and not rain before Christ- mas, it would be just my luck to have every- thing freeze up to-night and half the town drowned by a cloudburst. “Just look how everything went back on me yesterday when I predicted a drop. Kentucky had a cyclone, and out west they had a cold snap. It even rained in Kansas. Do you remember that old song? It never rains at all in Kansas, Oh, it never rains at all in Kansas, It never rains at all Till they shoot a cannon ball; Then it rains all over earth except in Kansas, ‘Well, it did rain in Kansas for once, Concordia had a fall of 2. inches. That's enough to drive me crazy. Everywhere west of the Allegheny Mountains there was rain yesterday except in Indiana and Northern Lllinois. “Il am going to chance one more predic. tion. I don’t make it in any hopes of hit- ting the bulls-eye accidently on the try-try- again plan I sincerely mean it looks like there was relief for us by to-night or to- morrow morning. You see there is a g@fi- eral fall from two to twenty degrees all over the west. We are bound, In the course of nature, to feel the effects of the fall within twenty-four hours. Thies State of af- fairs cannot go on much longer. “The mercury will begin dropping this evening, I honestly believe. It looks to me also as if there would be showers. To- morrow will be much cooler, although you must not understand me to predict such weather as will justify the substitution of woolen clothes for linens, and light over- coats for electric fans. “It would be out of the question to look for any change more marked than a Grop of ten or fifteen degrees.” Dr. Frankenfleld said that last ‘Thure- day was still the record holder for the pres- ent heated season. When pressed for @ comparison between Thursday and Satur- day, he meekly figured out that it was the enormous difference of one-tenth of @ de- gree that kept Saturday from being as hot as |: was Thursday. It may surprise a great many people, though, to know that last night was three degrees cooler than the night before. To almost everybody /riday night, without the faintest whisper Of a breeze, appeared the most stifling perted of the heated tern, Especially was this so of the crowds whe patronized the summer gardens and dought comfort én the parks. Not a leaf or bush or tree was stirring. and the only wind was felt by those riding in the street cars. Dr. Frankenfield said the night seemed so much warmer than Thursday evening because the people had their titutions weakened and bodies heated from the tweive continuous days of torture, sequently were more susceptible.

Always happy and contented herself, she sought by every means in her power to perpetuate happiness in those around her. Mrs. Maffitt possessed another trait of character somewhat out of :he common in these days. It was that of courage—mental, moral and physical. — Comine down to this generation from a women; born and bred am'‘d the stirring Western scenes of the early settlement, there was in Mrs. Julie Maffitt a continuing serenity and calmness at which even her descendants sometimes marveled. It was this ability to meet trying emer- gencies that kept her sons and daughters admiringly in her presence and made them fee) the strength of her character. Mrs. Maffitt’s brother, the venerable Charles P. Chouteau, is almost inconsolable ‘n his grief. Though a hale, active old gen- tleman, he has felt recently the loss of sev- eral close friends of his vouth, and the departure of his only sister mourned by him.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—There ts Serious danger of diplomatic frict'on be- between the United States and Japan over Hawaii. Although the renly which Japan has made to Secretary Sherman's note con- cerning the intentions of this Government has been received, the State Department holds it in secrecy. It Is known, however, that the reply is not as amiable as had been hoped for. Tne reply of the Japanese Government ts of such tone, and there are such suspictous movements of certain Japanese warships that the Administration ts afraid Japan may be meditating some coup de force in Hono- lulu. It is understood that tn their reply the Japanese still contend that they have equal rights with the United States in Hawall, and that the attempt of the United States to annex the islands without con- sultation with Japan is a breach of good faith. One thing ts certain and this is that no matter which way the negotiations turn the administration does not propose to be caught napping. If the Japanese Make a show of force at Honolulu with or without an announced tntention of demanding that the Hawalian Government comply with the demands for reparation which were sub- mitted some time ago, this Government will do the same thing. No one need be surprised if the warships of the United States and of Japan frown On one another in Honolulu within the next two weeks. War is not expected by any member of the Washington Government fa- miliar with the facts, but it !s admitted the mobilization of naval craft at Hon- olulu would be sufficient to produce a haz- ardous situation. Already there is a good deal of animosity toward the United States on the part of the Japan naval office and an overt act on their part might precip!- tate a great deal of trouble. During the last ten days the navy depart- ment has made special prepa*étions of a quiet sort for mobilization of our naval forces on the Pacific at Honolulu, should the turn of diplomacy make such action necessary. At the present time the United States is not as strong in the Pacific waters as Japan. If the Nicaraguan canal were open the advantage would be on our side In case of trouble. PENSION ORDER OVERRULED. Agencies Not to Be Consolidated, as Wanted by Cleveland. WASHINGTON, July 10.—The order of President Cleveland, issued last February, r- \ucing the number of pension agencies in the United States from eighteen to nine will be revoked by President McKinley within a few days, probably early next week. As the original order was not to go Into effect un- til Beptember 1 next the only result of the revocation will be to continue in force the present arrangement allowing all eighteen of the agencies to remain in operation. Secretary of the Interior Bliss is now out of town, but he has conferred with the Pres- ident over the matter, as also has Commis- sioner of Pensions Evans, and it was some time ago decided that it would be unwise to pemit the change of system to go into effect, and that for the present, however much some new scheme might be needed, the plan for the best interests of the service was to continue the existing system. The p osed consolidation was to be effected by aying at New York the pensioners hereto- Fore paid at Buffalo, those at Detroit from Indianapolis; those at Milwaukee from Chi- cago; those at Des Moines and Topeka from St. Louis. Thus the agencies at Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Topeka were to have been discontinued and a new agency created at St. Louis. MISSOURI ASPIRANTS. Maj.

That Is precisely the situation now The present ordinance left it to the compa- nies to choose fenders, and put no respon- sibility upon the Board of Public Im- provements in regard to the efficiency of fenders, Fifty lives have been blotted out as the result of this policy. Has the Board of Public Improvements no regard for the lives of citizens of St. Louls? Is it not well aware that, if it were left to the street car companies, no fenders would be used; or if some kind of fender were prescribed by a new ordinance, the stead of efficiency? The experience of other cities has shown that life-saving fenders can be had. And if they are life-saving, what based on “accidents?” If the fen- ders are efficient, bad accidents will be pe A THE SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACT. The only safe and honest course for the Sehool Text Book Commission is to en- force the law. The law declaring that they shall award the contract for fur- nishing school books to the lowest bid- der is at once their guide and their safety. The power with which the law clothes they should exercise only for the purpose of. forcing the lowest possible prices. If the lowest bid Is above the figures which reason and experience have demonstrated to be practicable and _ profitable, they should refuse to make an award, and call for new bids. What the people want is the lowest prices. Itis misrepresenting them to say that they want anything else or that they are prejudiced against their own inter- est, Particularly Is it dangerous to discuss the possibility of awarding such a con- tract at any other than the lowest prices. Such conditions lead naturally to collu- sion. If they are to be recognized or toler- ated it will be the people, and not the Trust, which will lose through them. The Trust has proved, in several States, that it knows how to meet such emer- rencies., _—_— + —-—-—— If Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister, has been using his rented American bath tub for laundry purposes, he is clearly per- | sona non grata to all Washington land- lords, and therefore a detriment to the capital, Laundries are an excellent thing in their way, but they should never be mixed up with baths.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. (This column ig open to everybody who has a complaint to make, a grievance to ventilate, Iin- formation to give, a subject of general-interest, on any non-political topic, to discuss or a public serv- ice to acknowledge, and who can put the idea into legs than 100 words. Long letters cannot be printed.) ‘‘A Father’s’’ Conclusion. To the Editor. I have read the various suggestions on how to manage a teething baby on hot nights. I thank the writers of the letters, and the Post-Dispatch for the enterprise in giving theen space and making such a hap- py display of them. For myself, I have tried—or I should say we have tried—all the suggestions, with the exception of alcohol rubbings. This may be of some use, and it will be given a tr:al. My conclusion, after raising six chil- dren and losing one is, that, all the care and trouble, including doctoring and medi- cines, will be practically of no avail if un- usual hot spells last too long. The only remedy then is a change to a cooler climate, either further North or up in the moun- tains. If some of our millionaires would set aside a fund to help persons of small means send sick children to the mountain resorts in desperate cases, the lives of many chil- dren would be saved. A FATHER.

Whether built by private capital or Gov-/aire will fot envy the Kansas harvest hand day ? | sell it In some of the great cities, whata ernment subvention, it must be built to meet a world-wide demand, Its prac- ticability having been demonstrated and conceded, its construction ecannot be much longer deferred. There is not a city on the continent with greater interest in this waterway than St. Louls. But to make the canal effective asa means of promoting her ex- port trade, St. Louls must improve the navigation of the Mississippi. Last week's St, Louis shipments for ex- ports included heavy invoices to Chill, Australia and Honolulu. On all thes» shipments bulk must be broken at San Francisco for transfer to vessels. The process is tedious and costly, and acts @s an embargo on the trade. Navigation to the Gulf and across the Isthmus will build up to magnificent pro- portions a trade which can grow under present discouraging conditions. 7 — y _- — ~~ ead THE CORONER’S DOCTOR. Undoubtedly the statement made in the official autopsy on the dead body of Her- bert Cornwall had much to do with the verdict of the Coroner's jury in that case, If the jury belleved that all the shots fired by Dr. Cornwall at his brother had missed their aim, that belief would ex- plain to them his use of other weapons after the revolver was emptied, Without such an explanation his conduct, the last shot was fired, might have im- pressed them as evidence of malice, a pre determination to kill, and a ferocity rarely figuring as an element in justifi- able homicide. If itis at all advisable that there should be a doctor connected with the Coroner's Office to officiate and testify in such cases, it is necessary that he should be capable of making’ a clear and full statement of all the facts. Without: reference to the particu'ar case, it is possible for a false or mislead- ing report of such an attache of the Cor- oner’s office to serve the purposes of trim. inale Gn i defeat the ends of justice. — = ——_——— i oS ——e THE HECKEL FENDER BILL.

Is it not a fact that in confiscating coal that was being over their lines as public carriers, the railways that have been guilty of this act have committed the first lawless action in the present strike? If the plea of necessity holds in their case, why not in the case of every high-handed roeb- bery? I suppose the coal dealers whose coal has been confiscated dare not protest or take action. If they did, they could expect no courtesies from the railroads in future. This is a rule of the stronger which is very like anarchy. SUBJECT TO THE LAW. Louis, July 9. The Boy Bathers.

J was much impressed with the argument you made in behalf of cheaper school books, on the ground that the l-cent pews- paper of to-day contains more matter and represents more expenditure and IJlabor than the average school book. What you say about the easy market for school books is also worth considering. There is no doubt that publishers can make exorbitant present prices. ter in a speller or a first or second reader than in four-pages of the Sunday Post- Dispatch, and as school books are folded and sewn by machinery, the mere item of the school book profits at a cheap binding ought not to make one of | these books cost from 10c to We, Wu..e the Sunday newspaper costs but 5c.

DAVIDSON HAS A STRANGE POWER. IT'S CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE. Can Be Used for All Kinds of Machin- ery, but Its Nature Is Kept Secret. William B. Davidson of 18% Carr street, the man who proposes to revolutionize the motive power of the world by the applica- tion of his perpetual motion ideas, says that within the next two months he will make plain his invention to the world. By that time the closely guarded mode} will have been completed and the machine protected by a patent. In the meantime, the inventor is guarding his secret as he does his life. Every precaution is exer- cised to keep away prying eyes or inquisi- tive minds. The model, with its written de- scription, and drawings of its parts! is locked tn a little closet, the key being al- ways in the pocket of the vigilant carpenter. 'No friend or relative, not even the wife has seen what Davidson has accomplished in his seven years of study. He has a dead- ly fear that some one with money will get “ ideas and rob him of the fruits of his abor. He is negotiating with a western concern for sufficient capital to build a complete machine to be placed upon exhibition when 8 .nvention-is properly protected. “It will take several thousand dollars,” he said, “but when you have it once you have it forever.” The idea of applying perpetual motion to vehicles occurred to Davidson when he worked around the Olive street railway power-house., Economy suggested some- thing cheaper than the cable system, where. such a tremendous force is exerted from without, and naturally the mind took the other extreme and dwelt en supplying the power from within. , With this end in view Mr. Davidson has practically completed an application, built and maintained on what he terms.‘‘a push and a pull’’ theory, which is the familiar “two balls raise one” idea of school phil- osophy. He says he has brought this idea to a practical fulfilment and that a pro- elling force to move tons can be engendered yy an application of the simplest rules of physics, A vehicle to be operated by the Davidson self-propelling attachment -must be especi- ally constructed for the’ purpose. he rear axle and wheels are bullt to re- ceive the attachment, or rather are built around the invention. A _ guiding ap- paratus is attached to the front axle. on the order of the horseless carriages. Ordi- nary wheels will serve in front. From what meager information that could be gleaned from the wily genius, the inside of the rear wheels and axles are a | | Vanderbilt, Jr. arranged to use the three-ball herrea and heck f of gravity. Friction has the force been reduced to a minimum, and the in- | ventor relies on a system of lifted and de- scend'ng weights to maintain a uniform velocity. ‘The vehicle will go all right,’ inventor, “and go fast, too. There wll be no trouble about that, but what I want to perfect now is the momentum. To be prac- tical, the power must be sufficient to move heavy loads. I shall have this difficulty smoothed over by the time the money comes to push the invention. ‘““This power will not only propel vehicles and «treet cars, but can be applied to move any k'nd of machinery. After it is secured ‘t will cost nothing to keep. and the only chance of a break-down is that common to all machinery. It will surprise the and prove a biessing to humanity.’’ YOUNG WOMAN OBJECTED. Warrant for Blackmail Against Wm. V. Cashion Withdrawn. The warrant issued June 1, charging Wil- liam V. Cashion with attempted robbery in the third degree — blackmail—was quietly and mysteriously withdrawn some time ago and an effort was made to Keep the circum- stance secret. Col. Jonngson says he withdrew the war- rant because the young woman in the case did not desire to go before the public. Dr. Willlam J. Say, 24 Locust street, swore to the warrant when it was issued. He said that Cashion, who is the St. Louis representa'ive of an Eastern manufacturer, wi@ an office at 1104 North Levee, and lives with his wife and children at 6613 Michigan avenue, went to him a few days before and demanded $5,000, saying that unless he got the money he would make public what he said was a criminal operation on a young woman by Dr. Say. Dr. Say, said he, induced Cashion to re- duce his demand to $300 and after Attorney Fauntleroy, in the Commercial build.ng, heard the demand, a warrant was applied for and issued. Cashion left the city the day the warrant was issued and since then the public has heard nothing of the cage. Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler showed the warrant Friday to a reporter. It was marked ‘‘no prosecution’’ itn red ink and then the legend: ‘‘Withdrawn, Johnson. Col. Johnson says Dr. Say asked him to withdraw the warrant as the young woman had been to see him and begged him not to draw her into the public prints. Cashion has returned and can be found at his office every day. TO BE A DUCHESS. Miss Goelet to Marry the Duke of Manchester.

Southern Electric Road Asks the Priv- ilege of Extending Northwest to the Fair Grounds. The Broadway cable, operated by the St. Louis Railroad Company, has asked the City Council for an extension of its Hine to the south and for a change from the cable to electricity. Its southern terminus is now Broadway and Keokuk, but it desires to run west on Keokyk to Nebraska avenue, one, block, thence south over Nebraska and Broadway to Eichelberger, west one block to Penn- sylvania and south to Catalan, thus cov- ering the Carondelet section. : Meanwhile the bill proposes that the Broadway shall have the right to lay tracks on Pennsylvania and Wichelberger, when- ever the avenue shall be opened, and to lay twin rails on that part of Broadway now occupied by the tracks of the South- ern Electric road in order to avoid con- troversies about the use of tracks, General Manager McCulloch promises, in the event of the passage of this bill, to begin work on the extension within six months. But the Southern Electric road may op- ose the laying of tracks along its line on sroadway. General Manager Minary said Saturday morning: “‘This is the first I have read of it. Of course I cannot say what we shall do until the situation is learned. Our road has not been consulted, so far as I know, and this movement on the part of the Broad- way cable will put that line directly into our terr'tory.”’ The northern terminus of the Broadway cable is now Gano avenue, with an electric extension north beyond the beginning of Ha’l’s Ferry road to 8301 Broadway. Rut while the Chicago capitalists are ex- tending to the south, the Southern Electric appears before the Council with a bill to ex- tend that line from the present terminus at Seventh and Howard streets northwest to the Fair Grounds. An amendment is pro- posed to the pending bill requiring the road to pay into the city treasury annually 3 per cent of their gross earnings, unless the amount falls below $16,000, in which event a certain sum in full must be paid. Th's measure has heen reported back from the Counci] Committee without recommenda- tion, so far as Mr.. Brinkmeyer is concerned, put it carried the favorable report of a ma- orityv. The bill proposing a loop for the Suburban road was reported Friday eventing, with an amendement chang'ng the route from Third to Fourth street, which would include Sixth street to Elm, to Fourth, to Locust and westward. It is said tn finaneial circles that the pro- posed extensions north and south are made with a view of heading off the clamor for increased street car facilities tn the north. west and southwest, and more especially to impede the progress of the suggested north }and south lines, but as a matter of fact the proposed extension of the Broadway does not strike a large amount of new ter- |ritory, unless its ult!mate object is to run west on Eichelberger avenue to the city lim'ts. On this point the Broadway officers |} refuse to talk until] they have made the connections they now seek. | NO HOPE FOR THE YOUNGERS.

PRINCE OF WALES BEAMING. Guests Furnish Amusement by Pre- empting and Then Fleeing From the Seats of the Mighty. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1897, (Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.) LONDON, July 10.—One of the leading so- clety women of England, the Duchess who reported for the Post-Dispatch the Duchess of Devonshire’s ball, has just prepared for the Post-Dispatch the following account of the Duchess of Southerland’s ball last night: Half a dozen Americans were there in close juxtaposition to England's most royal royalty. It was at the ball given at Staf- ford House (the town residence of the Duke of Sutherland)—a ball on a much more magnificent scale than the Duchess of Devonshire affair. Such flowers and dec- orations never were seen in London before. Fifteen hundred guests joined in saying that such entertainment ever was dreamed of. The show of jewels were finer than that at Devonshire House, because there were at Devonshire House, it is now known, many gems hired of the Parisian Diamond Co. These Americans were present last night: The Duchess of Marlborough, Lad Ran- dolph Churchill, her sister, Mrs, Jack Les- lie; Mra. Harry Higgins, Mrs. Ronalds, in white, with splendid diamonds; Lady Car. narvon, who was Miss Woombwell, in New York, dressed in pink and wearing a dia- mond crown nearly a foot high; Lady Naylor Leyland, who was Miss Jennie Chamberlain, and Mrs. Arthur Paget. No ball had been given in Stafford House for years, This one for Miss Chaplin. Stafford House is the finest private resi- dence in London. It has a white and gold ball room 200 feet ys While the Princess of Wales was dancing with Prince Francis of Teck the latter made a mistake In the quadrille. The Pri tapped him on the arm and very elaborately corrected him. The Princess was dressed in black satin, with a silver gauze over her dress. The Prince of Wales was beaming. He had not been so jolly since his horse won th Derby. He wore only the blue garter an evening dress. The Duchess of Sutherland, one of the most beautiful women in England, wore a superb white and silver gown, with a splendid high diamond crown, a single neck. lace of very large diamonds, and 4 stom- acher of rubles and diamonds.

I think she was not invited. The Bradley Martins, it is rumored, have taken Barney Barnato’s magnificent unfin- ished palace on Park Lane. The announcement that another American girl would soon be able to wear a ducal crown, caused a flutter among the titled American women. Miss Goelet, daughter of Ogden Goelet of New York is betrothed to William Augus Drege Montague, ninth Duke of Manchester, born March 3, 1877, and suc- ceeded his father in 1892. His mother was formerly Consuelo Yznaga of New York, for whom the Duchess of Marlborough was named, The Duke is a Lieutenant in the King’s Royal Rifle corps. He has seats at Kimbolton Castile, St. Noots, Huntingdon- shire, Brampton House, in the same county, Tanderagee Castle, County Armagh, Ire- land, and a town house in Great Cumberland place, Hyde Park, London. SENATOR WOLCOTT GUYED. But He Believes It Helps the Cause of Bimetallism. LONDON, July 10.—“Everything looks very bright for international bimetallism,”’ said Senator Wolcott. to a sorre- spondent—who met him in the House of Commons, where he was a visitor—‘not- withstanding the reports to the contrary in Amer'can newepapers. The more the Ameri- cans pooh hooh bimetallism the more it helps the cause. I have just returned from France, where I found that that Republic will stand shoulder to ehoulder with the United States In behalf of the two metals.” Senator Wolcott and his miesion have been been rather guyes by the French press, but he takes the matter very ser ous- ly. The Temps says the United States Gov- ernment might spend ite money to better purpose than on a commblasion costing half a million and hopeless of success. The correqgencees asked the Senator if he had seen Bryan's remark that President McKinley had made a laughing etock of himself—for the whole world by send'ng the commission abroad? ““Yes,’” answered Mr. Wolcott, “but Mr. Bryan ‘s laughable in saying so.

Where the Leading Ministers Will En- joy Their Rest in the Hot Weather. Nowhere will the effect of the present heated term be more observable on Sunday than in the churches. Those of the churches not actually closed might as well be, for most of their pulpits are to be occupied by “supply” ministers, and half the reguler congregations are either out of town, pre. paring to go away, or firmly resolved that it is “tod hot to go to church.” As for the ministers, scores of them have fled as birds to the mountains. Usually August is the vacation month in the churches, but the extreme heat of the latter part of June and the early part of July has- tened the departure of a score of clergy. Bishop Tuttle, as is well known, is in England attending the Lamberth confer- ence. He will be absent for the rest of the summer, his term embracing a run over the Continent and the mountains of Switzerland after his mission in Engiand is ended. Rev. Dr. Boyd left last Monday on his vacation, which he will spend im the Berk. shire Hilla. Rev.

THOUGHTS OF INJUSTICES AND CRUELTIES DROVE HIM TO TEMPORARY MADNESS. He Accounts for the Revolver Being in His Pocket and His Trip to St. Louis. Dr. Richmond Cornwall was arraigned in the Court of Criminal Correction Saturday morning with a batch of elght other pris- oners, five of whom were negroes. The frat- ricide was dressed in the same suit he wore at the inquest. He was brought up to the cage, shackled to another white prisoner, a few moments before court opened. When he was arraigned before the bar, a delay of a few minutes occurred until his attorney, | Judge Harvey, could be notified of his pres- ence. During the few moments’ wait, Cornwall leaned against the rail and surveyed the oc- cupants of the court-room calmly and leis- urely. Then he down in a chair and chatted with an attorney whom he knew. Judge Harvey came in at this juncture, and gaid his client would plead not guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. Clerk Zepp asked him when he desired to have a preliminary hearing for his client, and after a little consideration the Judge named July 16. The case will accordingly come up for hearing on that date. Cornwall was taken back to the cage, and Judge Harvey immediately took steps to en- deavor to secure his release on bond. Shortiy after the prsoner had been taken back to the cage, his father, Dr. John Cornwall, entered the court-room, accem- panied by Cc. PD. Comfort , SA ante-room, where a confer- to arrange the matter of paired to the ence was held furnishing bond. Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill had ree- ommended to the court that he thought a bond of $10,000 would sufficient in case. Judge Harvey demurred at firet to this figure, saying he thought $5,000 should be sufficient, but Mulvihill was firm. Groschke and Comfort, both of whom are be money-ienders, finally agreed to furnish the | ga tte ; |in Kansas City and Cornwal) agreeing to necessary bond, Dr. indemnify them against possible case the bond was forfeited. The papers were then drawn up and ~ ——— ee The Physiology of the Liver. The liver is the largest secreting organ {n the human body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to vitiation and misdirection from its proper channels than any other of the animal fluids. Luck- ily for the bilious, however, there is an uanfaling source of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hos- tetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine whicn for about half of a century has been achieving thor- ough cures of the above mentioned allments, fcver and ague, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney affection and disorders involving loss of nervous vigor. It is, moreover, « preventive of malarial disease, and affords Fae eye to thou- sands of persons residing im districts of country where that dire scourge is prevalent.

ENDED WITH A FIGHT A TAILORING ‘FIRM TERMINATES | RATHER SUDDENLY. PARTNER STRUCK A WOMAN. There Was a General Mix-Up, in Which the Employes and a Po- liceman Participated. ‘ The tailoring firm of Lavison and Brohn, at 800 Carr street, terminated its existence rather suddenly Saturday morning. When the police finally restored peace Mrs. Lavison had a black eye, the senior partner was bruised about the face, and Brohn looked as though he passed through a St. Louis tornado. A few weeks ago Pincus Brohn introduced himself to Barney Lavison as an expert cloakmaker. Lavison was in need of just such a man, and hired the stranger on the spot. Brohn proved his claim so satisfactorily to his employer that he was made a part- Things went well until Saturday morning, when, without warning, the new member of the firm ordered all employes to quit work. Mrs. Lavison, with an eye to her absent husband's interests, asked the meaning of the order. ‘“‘Lavison is trying to do me,” said Brodn, ‘Now, let him pay me my just earnings and I'll leave.”’ The woman ordered the men to work, but Brohn drove them out of the shop. When Mrs. Lavison came in Brohn cursed her and put his fist In her eye. The husband got back from downtown about this time, and forcing his way through the crowd that had been drawn to the spot by the unusual commotion, fell upon his expert partner. Louls Davis, an employe, seeing Lavi- son was getting the short end of the argu- ment, ran to his assistance, and was beat- ing a tattoo on Brohn’s body with a stick when Patrolman O'Connell entered. He put an end to hostilities by locking the three men up at the Fourth District Station. They will go before Judge Stevenson Mon- day. GETS A HEAVY FINE. William Canty Assessed Two Hundred Dollars oy Judge Peabody. William Canty, the pal of Mickey Mack, and one of the men who was suspected of several robberies and burglaries of recent occurrence was tried before Judge Pea- body Saturday for living idly and was fined $2. He will probably take an appeal. Harry Horrocks, one of Canty’s confed- erates, was granted a continuance until Tuesday. Circuit Tours to Northern Resorts, Via Burlington Route to Duluth.

The delivery of 425,000 bu on uly contracts on the afternoon delivery yesterday, weak Liverpool cables and fears of a bearish gov- erhment crop report to-day were the influences on the bear side. Of another nature were New York dispatches, saying that not less than 60 loads were sold for export yesterday, mostly for the United Kingdom, and the light Northwestern receipts—223 ears, against 412 last year. Trading was amall and sentiment not very pronounced either way. Sep- tember fluctuated lazily between 635%c and 65\e, finally steadying at about 65. Corn Was weak at the opening and sold off sharply on rains and cooler weather in the South- west. Long corn was sold freely. Local receipts were 304 cars.

Patrolman Dunbar Fires Four Shots at Him and Inflicts Bad Wounds. ASSISTED BY TWO MEN IN A BUGGY, HE ELUDES PURSUIT. No One Knows Who He Is, but He Stole Miss Best’s Watch, The thief who tore the gold watch and chain of Miss Jennie Best from its fasten- ings on her shirtwaist just as she boarded a Suburban car at Sarah street about 8&8 p. m. Friday proved to be a bold and des- perate one, who was ready to risk his life for his liberty. Miss Best lives at 4332 Hunt avenue and the car she boarded for home wags so crowded she had only standing room on the platform. Just as she boarded the car a buggy with three men in it, halted almost alongside, and one of the men sprang to the street and jumped on the car as it moved away. Passengers were wedged on tne platform and the young man from the bugey, with evident purpose, crowded close up to Miss Best, The car bounded along for perhaps fifty yards when M.ss Best screamed, “he’s got my watch,” and grabbed at the young man, The next instant two men seized him as he Struggied to jump from the car. Another male passenger jerked Miss Best's watch out of the thief’s hand and turned it over to her. The two men held on to the thief, the car was stopped, and pulling him to the streef they turned him over to Private Watchman Caird, who took him to a nearby patrol] box and called for the Sixth Dis rict wagon, While the watchman and his prisoner were walting for the wagon a large crowd gathered around them, and learning the nature of the prisoner's crime, some of them vowed that he ought to be strung up to a lamp-post. . The erisoner. a beardless young fellow, well dressed, listened stolidly, and when asked his name by the watchman, sullenly repiied: “‘None of your business.’ he patrol wagon, with Patrolman Dun- bar in charge, arrived in a few minutes, and the prisoner was soon on his way to the stat on, with Dunbar and Caird on the seat with him. He refused to talk, but repeatedly gianced backwards. This caused lLunbar to do the same thing and he noticed a buggy with two men in it whipping along within easy distance of the patrol wagon. The men in the buggy left the trail of the atrol wagon at Pendleton avenue and Dun- “ saw nothing enore of them -untii he reached the poiice station, then to his sur- prise he saw them sltiti the ‘buggy on the opposite side of the street, Just as the wagon atopped at the station stable door the prisoner seized Dunbar by the neck and with a powerful jerk, tried to throw him backwards from the wagon, Dunbar is quick and muscular abbed hold of the prisoner, but oppling and together they fell in a heap to the ground, the prisoner on top. With the agility of a cat he gained his feet and ran. Dunbar, atunned by the fall on his back, recovered in a moment and, as he rose, pulled his revolver. The escaping prisoner Was about thirty feet away Lng and he was etumbled to the ground, but he kept on, It was dark and Dunbar could just see the outline of his object, but holding the pistol Steady he ehot as he ran after him. It was as he fired the fourth shot that he realized the object of the men in the buggy who had followed the patro] wagon. °* As the prisoner tumbled from the wagon the men in the buggy started for him, evidently expecting such a desperate move on his part and determined to take his part. As the prisoner ran the horse Waa ‘ITCHING SKIN _ DISEASES Sreepy Ours Taxatwerr for torturing, distig- Gring, itching, burning, and ecaly skin and scalp Gieenecs With joss of hair. ~— Warm bathe with (vu.

The man on was gong south on out, and grabbing hold of the helped him climb in the buggy was still in motion. Then the the wh'p and the trio dashed down the avenue for two blocks before they turned west and were lost to officers who had started in pursult. People along Evans avenue before the buggy turned off it say they heard the rescued fugitive exclaim to his confeder- ates: “I am badly shot; hurry and get me to a doctor quick.”’ It is thought that the fugitive was shot in the back, as he leaned over on the dash- board and moaned with pain. Detectives Brady and Guion were de- tailed to follow up the tr‘o, but so far have not been able to locate them. Patrolman Dunbar regrets that the prison- er got away from him, but he feels sure that he took with him enough lead in hs body to deter him for geome t.me to come fom snatching iad‘es’ watches on the street cars or anywhere else. ‘He was a 0nice-look'!t young fellow,” said Dunbar, ‘‘well dressed, and is evidently a desperate th.ef.” THE OLD MAN DIED. -— —- —Pe- ---- — William Smith Is a Parricide and Doesn’t Seem to Be Sorry for It. it Evans avenue— reached fugitive while it plied John Smith, the negro who was brutally stabbed by his son, William, Friday morn- ing, died of his wounds at the City Hospital at 3:5 Saturday morning. The stabbing occurred at the home of the Smiths at 5811 Minnesota avenue, and was precipitated by the son quarreling with his mother because she had nothing cooked for him.

The remains of Michael Edel, the aged German who was found dead in the little shanty in which he lived a solitary life at Lorentz street and the River Des Peres, Friday morning, will not be laid to rest in a pauper’s grave in potter's field as it was thought. Mrs. John Krauss, widow of a wealthy brewer, as soon as she heard of Edel’s death, ordered the Hoffmetler Undertaking Co, to take charge of the body, furnish a neat casket and a hearse and inter the rema.ns in her family lot in the Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery. Saturday morning Edel’s body was taken to the undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. The funeral may take place Sun- day. If is thought a number of employes of the Klausman Brewery will attend. Kdel about two years ago was given em- ployment by Mrs. Krauss. He did odd jobs around the brewery and about the Krauss homestead at 1229 Davis street. He was a faithful servant and the members of the family became attached to him. They inisted on his remaining with the family until the end came and the little shanty in which he lived they furnished for him s0 that he might have his own home, WAS AN “INVENTOR, Robert D.

GEORGE WILL LEAVE THE TRIED TO MURDER HER, ‘ STAYS TURNED THE STEEL. ONE THRUST MADE A SERIOUS WOUND. A Thousand Persons Attracted to Jef- ferson Avenue and Pine Street by an Attempt at Murder. The steels of her corset saved the life of Mrs. Daisy Robinson at 2623 Pine street. Thrown by her brutal husband upon an ironing board she was held there by him and with a long knife he struck blow after blow in an effort to reach her heart. The weapon was deflected at least half a dozen times, then it entered her side and produced a wound that, though serious, is not necessar- ily fatal. Mrs. Robinson is a handsome mulatto, 30 years of age and supports herself and her lazy husband, Sam, by washing for persons who live in the vicinity of Jefferson avenue and Pine street. She is a good laundress and earns a dollar a day. Friday evening she was late in returning to the firac floor rooms they occupy at 2423 Pine street and Sam met-her at the door with a growl, then cursed her for not hav- ing supper ready. She explained that the day’s work had been unusually mess ag 6 and she was unable to hurry it through because of the intense heat. But Sam was half drunk isten. His anger became maniacal. He grabbed his wife and threw her on the ironing board that was stretched from a aiee to a window sill, and seized a carving cnife. It was soon after 5 o'clock when persons living in that neighborhood were attracted by shrieks. Some ran in by the Pine street entrance; others through the alley. The first to arrive saw the-woman lying on the ironing board, the waist of her dress _- tatters and blood streaming from her side. The brute had fled. Some Seventh Dis- trict policemen arrived ten minutes after the assault had been committed, and they diligently searched all the back yards, but couldn't find Sam. A doctor was called and bandaged Mrs. Robinson's side. He said the wound would not prove fatal unless blood polsoning set in, Probably 1,000 persons swarmed in the little alley and there was great excitement. Mrs, Robinson’s corset bears evidence of her husband's desperate thrusts, DESTROYED PROPERTY. Mrs. Helen A. Reams Arrested on Com- plaint of Neighbors. Mrs. Helen A.

WILL BE AN INSTRUCTOR. ACCEPTS A POSITION IN M’GILL COLLEGE’S FACULTY. Expresses Regret at Leaving St. Louis, Which Is Heartily Shared by His Congregation. Rev. Dr. J. Henry George has definitely determined to sever his connection with the First Congregational Church. Some weeks ago he received an offer to become Professor of Theology in the Mec- Gill University at Montreal. He took the matter under advisement, and a few days ago notified the authorities of his church here that he had concluded to accept the of- fer, and that he would ask to have his resignation accepted about September 1. “T have taken this step,”’ the Doctor said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘with the deep- est regret at parting from my congregation, and the people of St. Louis whom I love, but the offer is a tempting one, especially to me, a Canadian. of the theological department of the Uni- versity in ‘Montreal; the work will be con- genial, and I think I can be of more service as an instructor of yOung men who aspire to the pulpit than ae the pastor of a con- gregation, even so important a one as mine, “I will remain with my church here until the end of July, and at the expiration of my vacation in August will formally resign the pastorate.”’ Dr. George’s household effects will be boxed next week and shipped to Montreal to be installed in a new home. Nothing is yet known as to who I!s likely to be called as Dr. George’s successor. One of the trustees said on Saturday that the congregation would be in no great hurry. Several names have been canvassed, but so far no meeting has been called to consider the question nor will there be for several montns. One and all the officers of the church ex- press deep regret at the departure of Dr. George, and al! admit that it will not be an easy task to wholly fill his place. PAVILIONS CROWDED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 10.—All the Christian Endeavorers now assembled with- in the city’s gates are here for a purpose, and that purpose is not one of recreation or pleasure. That all the assembled Endeav- orers take a deep interest in the proceedings of the convention is manifested by the at- tendance at the daily sessions at the big convention halls, With them all is en- thusiasm. Never has San Francisco been called upon to entertain such a throng of people as has been gathered together for the "98 convention. There have been fe- vival meetings and religious gatherings of all sorts of conventions, and there have been some pretty big political gatherings in San Francisco, but the Christian Endeavor Con- vention is a revelation. Profiting by their experience at the pre- vious session of the big conventi@ , when they came too late to get within” hailing distance of the Mechanics’ and Woodward's pavilions, many Pndeavorers were up wi:tn the coming of day, determined to be amon the fortunate ones in securing seats. Al roads seemed to lead to the headquarters at Mechanics’ Pavilion. By 8 o’clock they came pouring im from the east, west, north and south, on foot, in street cars, until the broad entrances .-to the big frame structures were congested with humanity. The weather was quite cool—just cool enough to bring back the color which har been temporarily driven from the cheeks of the thousands of pretty young women, by the hardships of a trans- DOES THIS MAKE YOU CCOLP Out in Colorado the people are running races on snow shoes, and indulging In other winter sports.

The vast throng jo'ned in the stirring Endeavor hymns with delightful ef- fect and with a volume of sound that car- ried their voices to the crowds in the streets, many of whom joined in the songs of praise, In spite of the fact that the committee had arranged the most attractive pro- rammes for the meetings at W ward's avilion, in order to draw as many people as possible to that hall, the crowds seems to gravitate toward the headquarters at Mechanics’ Pavilion, with the result that thousands are turned away at every ses- sion. The latter hall has been made so at- tractive with decorations and booths, con- ducted by hundreds of handsome young women, something after the fashion of a charity bazaar, that all want to enjoy the privilege of seeing and hearing all that is to be seen and heard at this place, Notwithstanding the size of the vast as- semblage the arrangements at the pavilions are all that the most exacting could wish, and all that has been done for the comfort of the visiting legions reflects credit upon those who have given their time and at- tention to the great work. The committees that have had a hand in the arrangements for the big international gathering are noOw receiving the praise and commendation of 20,000 delighted visitors from every State in the Union and from nearly every allen land where the influence of Christian En- deavor is felt. The afternoon is to be devoted chiefly to recreation by the delegates; enthusiastic as they have been in the work of the conven- tion they cannot deny that a season of rest in the midst of their labors is necessary, therefore they haveelected to lay asidemore serious things for a time and enjoy them- selves as fully as possible. The chief fea- ture apart from the ee this morn- ing was the open air concert by the Golden Gate Park Band and it te expected that there will be more people in the park this afternoon than have been seen there for many a day. No definite figures have been given out as to the total registration, but it is understood that something over 22,00 have appended their names to the roll of attending dele- gates. Nineteen more trains yet to come, is the Jatest announcement by Secretary Baer, and the last of these will probably not arrive before Monday. there are between 35,000 and 40,000 in the city at present. Among the last detachments to arrive was the second section of the New York dele- gation under the care of Rev. Dr. Charles G. Pease, who not only attended to the traveling comforts, but acted as nurse and physician in more than a few cases. With one exception, the trip was free from dis- comforts or mishaps, and pjeasant expe- riences were scattered throughout the lon» journey. roof of one of the eleepers caught fire from forest fires, and there was considerable ex- citement*among the delegates unti] the fire was extinguished. In the early hours of this morning the last delegation from Pennsylvania arrived, 200 strong, and these with 1,200 other visitors from the Keystone State who preceded them swells the total from Pennsylvania to nearly 1,0.
