Left St. Louis on an Evening Train Without Telling Their Relatives. MR. SAWYER WIRED TO KANSAS CITY TO STOP THE MARRIAGE, BUT HE WAS TOO LATE. Mr. and Mrs. Max Orthwein Witnessed the Ceremony, Which Was Per- formed by a Baptist Minister. Miss Isabel Lucas, eldest daughter of Mr. J. B. C. Lucas, President of the Citizens’ Savings Bank, and Frank K. Sawyer, son of the President of the F. O. Sawyer Paper Co., eloped to Kansas City Thursday night and were married there Friday morning. The actions of the elopers after they left Bt. Louis are told in special dispatches to the Post-Dispatch from Kansas pag & Friday morning about 10:45 o’clock Sawyer and Miss Lucas entered the office of Re- ‘eorder of Deeds Queal in the County Court- house and applied for a marriage license. The groom was a spruce looking young man and he seemed to know just what to do. To disarm suspicion he resorted to a little deceit. He gave his name as Frank Sawyer, his residence as No, 3122 West Main street, Westport, Mo., and his age as 23. This he signed under oath. There is no West Main street in Westport. The bride’s name was registered as Isabel Lucas from Jackson County, age 19 years. The deputy who made the record did not suspect anything out of the ordinary and when young Sawyer asked him to lock up the license and suppress it for a few days he consented to do so, About ten minutes after the license had been recorded a Post-Dispatch correspond- ent entered the Recorder's office and asked if he might look over the day’s licenses. They were handed out, but Sawyer’s did not appear. By a Httle strategy the license, which it had been suspected had heen issued, was found and the deputy volunteered a sug- gestion. ‘“‘See that brick house across the sireet, at 508 McGee? Well, they’re in there now being married by a Swedish minister. At the. brick house, Rev. E. Bowden, a Baptist preacher, said he married the young couple. Recorder Queal came over and showed a telegram from F. O, Sawyer asking him to refuse to issue a license to Frank Sawyer. Queal said the marriage was binding. The brick house in which the couple were married is a two-story structure, standing on the west side of McGee, opposite the Court-house, and is half a block north of the County Jail. The d'strict is commonly spoken of as the North End. The room in which they were married was rather shabbily furnished, and was used as a bed- room by the Rev. Dr. Bowden. The lady and gentleman who witnessed the marriage ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. Max Orthwein, formerly of St. Louts. Mr. Orthwein is a warm friend of young Sawyer, and his wife, who was Miss Fanny Holmes, was a schoolmate of Miss Lucas. Young Mr. Sawyer could not have made such a neat and becoming job of his elope- ent if it hadn’t been for their assistanco. r. Orthwein is a son of Charles F. Orth- wein, the millionaire grain operator. He was married three months ago and has a deal of sympathy for others irying to get into the same fix. He has charge of the United Elevator Co. of Kansas City, with offices at room 402 Board of Trade. While in St. Louis last week Mr. Sawyer informed him that owing to the opposition of his prospective father- in-law he had decided on eloping. Mr. Orth- wein was to return to Kansas City Thurs- day evening. He expressed great willing- ness to bring Mrs. Orthwein into the plan and chaperon the elopers up to his town. Tuesday Mr. Lucas put aside business ares and went to King’s Lake for two ays’ fishing. Mr. Lucas doesn't like young Mr. Sawyer as well as his daughter does. When he left the house, the telephone was worked and shortly after the young man was aboard a Suburban car bound for a hort vacation at the Lucas homestead in ormandy. Mrs, Lucas is visiting in Colorado, and iss Isabel was the head of the household. r. Sawyer remained at Normandy on Tues- day and Wednesday. Thursday morning he and Miss Lucas came into town. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon people Hving near the Sawyer home, at 3419 Frank- in avenue, saw the young couple hurry out of the house and up to Grand avenue, They Were accompanied by a valise. : When Miss Isabel failed to return Friday morning her younger eister, Miss Francine, who began to suspect things, hurried into town to see her father. Before she arrived a Post-Dispatch re- porter called on Mr. Lucas with the infor- mation that his daughter had eloped. ‘It's a ile.” he said, as he reached for his hat. A second later he was hurrying down the at gh me See ot noe "What do you know of this, Mr. Lucas?’ inquired Mr. Sawyer. “Not a thing,’’ was the reply. The fathers compared notes and when the conference broke up they started severally for adja- cent telegraph offices. Mr. Lucas reiterated that his daughter had not elo ; Mr, Sawyer said: “I know nothing more SHOR that my boy did not come home last ked if he was prepared to extend for- giveness to the young people, Mr. Sawyer replied: have nothing to say.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., July 16.—This morning about 2 o’clock a freight train on the In- ternational Railroad ran over and killed three white boys and seriously injured an- other two miles south of the city. The dead are: JOHN BRIDGES, aged 15; father keeps 4 hotel in Fort Worth. CHARLES SWEENEY, W orth. L. MONTGOMERY, aged 13, Fort Worth. Injured: HENRY ESTIS, aged 16, Fort Worth. Young Estis was conveyed to the hospital and he may recover.’ He says he and his companions ran away from home to go to Mexico, and last night south of this place they determined to return home and were retracing their steps back to the city, where they hoped to find a north-bound freight. Two miles out they stopped to rest. and dropped off to sleep on the railroad track and were run over and horribly mangled as stated. A switch engine was sent out ofter the mangled remains of the boys, and, when returning, the dead body of a negro man was found near the track within the city limits. His head was crushed probably by the same train that killed the boys. He was recognized as L. C. Cox of Waco. The bodies of the boys were shipped to Fort Worth this morning. PRINCE OF JAPAN. Now in New York on the Way to the Land of the Sun. NEW YORK, July 15.—Prince Takehito Arisugawa, a nephew of Emperor Mustu- hito of Japan, will be im this country within ten days. Prince Arisugawa Is one of the richest men in Japan, and holds the rank of Rear Ad- miral in her navy. He is described as a handsome man of military appearance, and is about 3 years old. He is now in Eng- land, where he was sent by the Emperor as a special representative during the Queen’s jubilee. The Prince was educated in the English Naval Academy, and served for a aboard English warships. The Prince is accompanied by a staff of ten officers, of which Count Sawa is chief. .M. Salto, an- other of Japan's nobility, is the master of ceremonies. According to the programme mapped out this far, it is the intention of the Prince to take passage on the Empress of India from Vancouver Aug. 2 for Japan. In that event he will have but a few days to spend in New York. There is a possibility, ow- ever, that he will change his plans and travel through the United States. It is thought that the Prince will make a tour of inspection of the various naval stations in this country, and probably visit several ship yards and armor making plants. RICH COMMITS SUICIDE. One of the Wealthiest Merchants of Atlanta, Ga. ATLANTA, Ga., July 16.—Emanuel Rich, a member of the firm of M. Rich & Bros.. one of the largest dry goods and furniture houses in the South, committed suicide at his home in this city at 7 o’clock this morning by cutting his throat with a fruit knife. He returned from New York on Saturday night and on Sunday seemed to be deeply depressed. That afternoon he tried to kill himself but was prevented from doing so. This mornin he escaped from the _ sur- veillance under which he had been placed and succeeded in severing his throat after four slashes at it with a dull knife. Mr. Rich was well known in business cir- cles throughout the South and in New York, where he spent much time as buyer for his house. He ranked as one of Atlan- nh most prominent and wealthy Hebrew citizens. PLOWED INTO A CACHE.’ Thousands of Dollars’ Worth of Jew: elry, Money and Stamps. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SIOUX CITY, Io., July 16.—While plowing on his farm, near Alvord, this State, Alfred Binghem unearthed $300 in stamps, $600 in oney and several thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry. About two and one-half years ago the Post-office and a number of stores at Les- ter, Io., were looted by burglars. The aged 13, Fort HORROR IN TEXAS. | time 1 MINERG MARGH ON BELLEVILLE. TWO THOUSAND STRIKERS ARE BENT ON CLOSING DOWN THE WORKS, Great Excitement Reigns and Fears of Trouble Are Enter- tained. OLD SCORES BETWEEN THE SEC- TIONS MAY CAUSE AN OUTBREAK. Sheriff Thinks There Is No Danger and Has Made No Prepara- tions to Keep Peaca. The news that a couple of thousand coal miners from Staunton, Mt, Olive and Wor- den were marching toward Belleville caused a good deal of excitement in that town Thursday night. There were a great many conferences in the West End resorts and an ugly spirit was manifested by many. It is very possi- ble that trouble may follow their arrival. There has been ill feeling between the men of the two sections since 1894. In the memorable strike of that year the Staunton men went ‘back to work before a settle- Was reached and left the Bellevillo ment men to “hold the sack.”’ They were compelled to straggle back to work at whatever wages the operators were willing to pay them. Animosities engen- dered then have never been healed and they have not since pulled together. The Belleville men claim they were sold out and charge James Carson of O’Fallon, the present State President, with betraying them. Since that they have not been thoroughly organized. Several times attempts were made to build up the organization, but the old bitter feeling always cropped out and confounded the efforts of the leaders. It was this which caused the fizzle of last week’s strike. The anti-Carson men re- fused to join in and the rest were compelled to return to work. The men who are tramping across coun- try toward Belleville are on a peaceful pil- grimage. They mean to attempt to get the Belleville men ‘out with oratory and per- suasion. But many of the latter will not yield readily to this form of influence, and they may say some of the bitter things which have been rankling in their minds, Unless the Staunton men come in over- flowing numbers there is likely to be trouble at some of the mines. William Patterson, who acted as chair- mun at the mass meetings held last week, « ys the Staunton men are coming down to .et the Belleville men out, and “if they can’t coax them out they’li club them out.” He believes their mission will be successful, but doubts if the men will stay out unless they are organized under a district staff of officers independent of the national organi- zation. they will not take part in a strike in which Carson has anything to say. The news from Staunton Friday morning was that 1,00 men had left there Thursday night on foot. They expected reinforce- ments at Worden. Their next stop was to be at Edwardsville, where part of the men would stop to try and get the men there to strike. The others were to push on to Glen Carbon, Troy and Collinsville. From Col- linsville the programme was to march on Belleville, fourteen miles across country. f The total distance is about fifty-five miles. The men are said to have wagons loaded with provisions. They are expécted to reach Belleville Friday night or Saturday. From there they will go to Murphysboro and Centralia. The march recalls one made by the miners of Staunton In 1886. It was during the Rein- ecke strike at Dutch Hollow. Several] min- ers had been arrested and locked up in. the Belleville jail. The Staunton men, to the number of 300, marched to Belleville and scattered over the town. It was given out that if the men were not rele the jail would be stormed. The authorities has- tened the preliminary. examination. The evidence against them was weak and they were discharged. thieves wére afterward captured and a por- tion of the money taken from them. The balance of the cash anl all the goods and | stamps were missing and nothing could in- | duce the prisoners to reveal their hiding | place. Their evident intention was to revisit their cache on their release from the peni- tentiary and d'g up the plunder. Bingham's | accidental discovery frustrated this plan, The money and stamps were inclosed in rusty tin cans, close beside which the jewelry was buried, AN IRATE BAKER. Fred Valtin Chased His Former Hired Man With a Revolver. August Volz, a baker, had a hot time Wednesday endeavoring to collect wages a)- leged to be due him from Fred Vaitin of 4263 New Manchester road. Volz said he and Valtin had a disagree. ment a week ago, and he left Valtin’s eam- poy.

It was reported Friday that the railroads passing through the Belleville district were refusing to transport coal. If they are there is no evidence of it on the switches, none of which hold more than a few cars of coal. SEWED IN A SHEET. A great many of the men declare }for luck.

In the afternoon he consulted his faithful can. About 3 o'clock he thought it was supper time and ordered his meal. Mrs. Whalen refused to get it. He planted a blow in each eye. She grabbed a piece of scantling and nearly put the old man out. At the North End Dispensary a wound over the left eye and a gash on the bald head were stitched. . The two were locked up. Judge Stevenson discharged the woman Friday and fined Whalen $25. BOONE RIVER PEARLS. Many Found in Fresh Water Clams— Market Flooded. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

When the tariff was abandoned it left a secon crop and every other inferior grade of tea | free to come in, and, consequently, there is a large stock of high-grade tea to be sold at a sacrifice. Charlies A. O’Donohue of the well-known tea-importing house of that name said yes- terday: “When the rush for tea began, Chinese and Japan merchants advanc their prices and reaped a harvest. To-day tea is fully 5 cents lower than it was before there was, any tariff ag'tation." .

Then Finnerty described the scene—Rich- mond planing rbert to the floor with his knee and raining blows on his head—Mrs. Herbert Cornwall again broke into sobs and swayed to and fro. On ecross-examination Hugh Finnerty proved one of the best witnesses ever on the stand in the Court of Criminal Correction. and in spite of a close cross-examination by Judge Harvey he stuck to every detail in his story and, in fact, strengthened that which he had stated. This caused some comment. The red-headed witness was cross-ques- tioned for half an hour, an effort bem made to confuse him as to the location o doors. Meanwhile Judge Murphy dozed off for a moment and was awakened by a fly on his bald head. , Judge Harvey finally got down to the kill- nz Wes MRS. HERBERT CORNWALL.

Judge Murphy was a picture while this witness was describing the terrible injuries. He had left the bench and leaned over the rail unti] his face was within a few inches of the physician’s. The bloody description’ which the doctor gave evidently had a strange fascination for the Judge. a ‘‘How large a man was the deceased?” Mr. Mulvihill asked. “He weigned about 165 pounds and was about 5 feet 7 inches high.” Witness then described the bullet wounds, which he had neglected to mention in his report of the autopsy. On cross examination he was asked if these bullet wounds would have necessarily have proven fatal. “No, sir:’’ he renlied. ““They did not cause the death, nor would they necessarily have proven fatal.’’ “Where was wound?” “It passed through the inner and outer plates of the brain and part ofthe brain matter.’ “After receiving these bullet wounds 4 the most severe bullet saw her at noon Friday, ‘and the descrip- tion in the paper fits her, the conductor didn’t follow instructions, and allowed her to get off the car where she pleased.’’ Clews that led to Hast St. Louis and Clayton, in the county, were run down by O'Malley Friday morning.

The Baby Born at the Female Hospital and Mrs. Dell Took It Away. A baby that died in St. Ann's Asylum last Tuesday is causing all kinds of trouble in a household in Manchester, Mo., and also in St. Louls. Attempts to conceal the mater- nity of the dead child caused the develop- ment of the story. On June 21 Mrs. Mary Dell of 918 North Thirteenth street walked into the Fourth District Police Station with a 4 weeks’ old baby in her arms, The babe was sick. She told the desk sergeant that the child's mother, Kate Carmody, of Manchester, Mo., had left the baby with her and said she would cal! for it. She heard nothing from the Carmody woman and wanted the au- thorities.to relieve her of her charge. The baby was given to Patrolman Brad.- shaw. He took it to St. Ann’s Asylum, 912 O'Fallon street, where it was re- ceived. It was entered on the books as Kate Carmody, aged 28 days. The child was supposed to bear its mother’s name. The baby was suffering from spinal meningitis and last Tuesday it died, These facts are shown by the records at the asylum. On June 22 an ~ gy item, giving these facts, was printed im the Rost-Dispatch. A few days later a letter was received at the Post-Dispatch office from Mrs. Dell, in which she said there was @ mistake in the tem. MerThe name,” she wrote, “is Kate Con- ley, and not Carmody. The woman's home is Mauchester road, St. Louis City, and not Manchester, Mo.” Mrs. Dell wanted the matter corrected, as ghe feared her mistake would get her into trouble. Two days later another letter was received at the Post-Dispatch office. t was from Miss Kate Carmody of Manchester, Mo. Miss Carmody wrote that she was the only pereon of that name in Manchester, Mo., and the ublished account had disgraced her. She eclared she was innocent of all wrong do- ing, and demanded that she be set right be- fore the public. A reporter called at the Dell residence, 918 North Eleventh street. It consists of two small rooms. One is used by the wom- an’s husband, who is a guitar maker. The lace had a poverty-stricken appearance. Mrs. Dell was not at home. Mr. Dell knew nothing about the baby transaction, or if he did he managed to conceal it. His wife, he said, was employed In the Provident Laundry, 1726 North Thirteenth street. A reporter found her there at work, She was so busy she could not spare time to talk about the matter when she learned a correction could not be made without a thorough investigation. She said Miss Con- ley lived on the Manchester road, and that she had never seen that g'rl but once. The weak places in her statement were pointed out. She was embarrassed and nervous. She insisted she had no time to talk, but when the reporter obtained permission from the laundry manager she had no excuse and consented to talk. “Il am done with the entire affair, and will tell the whole truth. The baby be- longed to Miss Kate Carmody of Manches- ter, Mo., as the Post-Dispatch stated. When she saw the notice in the paper she came to me and told me to have the name changed. She said I could get the paper to fay the name was Conley and that the baby's mother lived on Manchester road. She said she would make trouble if I did not do this for her. “Now, the facts are these: I was in the Female Hospital at the same time Kate ‘‘armody was. My baby was born a week before hers. When I left she asked me to take her baby along. She was to pay me per month. I agreed to this. After I got the baby it was taken sick. Miss Car- mody never sent any money nor came to see her baby. Then I gave it to the police. “When the item appeared she sald she Wanted me to help her out. I tried to do ste, eet I don’t want to get in trouble my- The records at the Female Hospital bear Mrs. Dell's statements out. Kate Carmody, 27, was received at the hospital March 30. Her baby was born May She was dis- charged June ll. The Super!ntendent says the woman gave the addrees 1029 Heckland place. He says there is no such a place. CALL BOARD STILL EXISTS. Exchange Rumor That It Would Be Abolished Is Unfounded. The appointment by President Langen- berg of the Merchants’ Exchange of a com- mittee to investigate the matter of the dally call board and determine what improve- ments could be made, gave rise to a rumor wrigey that the Board was to be abolished. W. P. Kennett, the chairman of this com- mittee, when ed about the rumor sald: “There is absolutely nothi in the re- as further than that P. P.

Forgot to Tell Mr. and Mrs. Munson Where Their Boy Was. George Munson, the well-known sporting man and press agent of the St. Louls Fair Association, and Mrs, Munson, spent an awful night Thursday. About 11 o’clock Thursday morning Porter White Munson, the 88-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Munson, left the parental home at 4334 Olive street, and when evening came he was not to be found anywhere. Mr, and Mrs. Munson searched high and low for the missing tot, but could find no trace of him. When night began to fall the lad’s parents grew very uneasy. They imagined all sorts of things, and thought their darling would be found in the Morgue or in some hospital badly mangled. After searching In vain, Mr. Munson notified the Beventh District police . At 8 o'clock Friday morning Officer Bchenck recognized the boy as he was pass- ing Vandeventer and Weatminster place, on his way home, where the littie fellow roturned, much to the relief of his parents, © had been spending the night with some ny parente.

CONFERENCE MAY BE HELD. But England Is Only Half-Hearted in the Matter and Germany Is Opposed. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—The advo- cates of international bimetallism are much discouraged by the cable reports from Lon- don of the reception by the British Gov- ernment of the joint proposal for an inter- national agreement made by Baron De Cour- cel, the French Ambassador, on the part of France, and by Ambassador Hay and the special envoys on the part of the United States. The form of the proposal submitted is not known in Washington, as the au- thority to negotiate with the foreign rep- resentatives was vested without reserve in the special envoys of the United States. It is believed by the authorities here that the envoys went further than to suggest a gen- eral conference to be held in the United States some time next winter. The evident willingness of the present British Government to accept an invitation to participate in such a conference, it is be- lieved, leaves no doubt as to the holding of the conference eventually. Outside of the small group of men who are ardent be- lievers in the poss_bility of an international agreement, it is not generally believed, how- ever, that an international conference will lead to any agreement which would justify the United States in opening the mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Senator Stewart, Senator Teller and Chairman Towne of the Silver Republican organization do not believe that any good will come from the conference if it is held, They advocate coinage by the United States without waiting for the consent of any other nation. It said that even the avowed bimetallists of the British Government will not go further than to hint vaguely at the possibility of the opening of the American mints and to talk in general terms about foe! a certain percentage of the Bank of England reserves in silver. In all the reports which have been given out about the work being done by the special envoys, there has never been a suggestion that England would agree to free coinage or anything approaching it. ermany ig another stumbling block in the way of an international agreement. The German Government would gladly see the United States and any countries that might be willing to join an agreement do something which would enhance the” value of silver, even temporarily, for Germany has a large quantity of silver for sale. When the special envoys were in Berlin they could get little encouragement an were given to understand that Germany would follow the lead in any conference that might be called. Since that time the change in the German ministry has made the possibility of Ger- many entering into any agreement till more remote, for Baron Von Thielmann, who has been summoned from his post as German Ambassador to the United States to become Imperial Minister of Finance, is a strong advocate of the maintenance of the gold standard by the German Empire. LEWIS IN TROUBLE. Missouri Republicans Fighting His Appointment to Office. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—Col. Robert Edgar Lewis, recent Republican can- didate for Governor of Missouri, is having a lively fight made against his candidacy for United States Attorney for the West- ern District of Missouri. Strange to eay, the fight is being waged by Republicans who are near neighbors of Candidate Lewis. Dade County, Cedar County and Clay, con- tiguous to Henry County, his home, are leading in the fight. Dade County ‘s said to have adopted resolutions denouncing Mr. Lewis’ candidacy, and Cedar County will follow suit. Col. E. “‘Lib’’ Morse, who represents Clay County when it comes to Reoubiionn leader. ship, says bluntly that Lewis will not be allowed to have the place. When Mr. Lewis was here recently he unwisely mixed up in several Post-office fights in Western Missouri, and as a con- sequence he has a hornet’s nest about his ears. MORSE AND LOOMIS At Washington Trying to Clear Up Patronage Tangles. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—Col. E. “Lib’’ Morse, an understudy for Referee Orton in the distribution of post-offices for the Third District, is here trying to break down the opposition to recent appointments In the district. The rank and file of the party have been accusng Orton and Morse of double-dealing and offensive bossis and it is to refute these charges that Gel. Moree is here. C. A, Loomis of the Second Dis- trict is also here to brace up his friends in the Post-office Department. He started East as soon as -he heard that the Post- office Department was considering turning down all his recommendations, and he is here to remain until the fight is settled. Col. Kerens said to-day that Missouri would receive five consulships, but he is wrong. A Missourian will.be named for a foreign mission within the next few days. BARTHOLDT’S PLANS. He Will Make a Trip to Europe When Congress Adjourns. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—Congress- man Richard Bartholdt will sail for Europe as soon as Congress adjourns.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 16.—Presi- dent McKinley has planned to visit the Yellowstone Park next September, and steps have been taken to induce him to extend the westward journey to San Francisco, A meeting of citizens was held to consider the best form of presenting the President with an invitation to visit San Francisco at his earliest convenience, and a committee _ pointed to go to Washington and personally present to the President an invitation to visit the Pacific coast. X-RAY DISCOVERY, Bullet Went Through or Around Nel- son’s Heart—He Has Recov- ered and Suffers No Pain. CHICAGO, July 16.—Charles B. Nelson, who, while in Washington Park on the night of July 1, In company with Mrs. Edith M. Staples, was shot in the breast, expects to learn soon if he is carrying around a heart with a bullet hole bored through it. He submitted to the X-rays for two sciagraphs last night in the hope of locating the bullet fired into his chest on that night. The sciagraphs seem to indicate that the ball cut through the heart on the shortest and most direct line, to lodge near the spine, but they are not quite conclusive. When he was brought to the Chicago Hospital the surgeons said he was shot in the heart and was doomed to death. He surprised them by promptly getting better and he was well enough yesterday to go to Wash- ington Park and try to locate the clump of bushes near which he and Mrs, Edith M. Staples were sitting when he was shot. When the photographic plates were de- veloped a person was able to see traces of the bullet. It is the opinion of the specialist, judging from the density of the bullet spots in the negatives, that the bullet was lodged about two inches in front of the spine. If that is so and the ball traveled in a straight line it must have gone through the heart. If it did not go through the heart, how did it get around the heart and reach its present location? That is what is puzzling the sur- aoome at the hospital. elson’s heart is irectly back of the point of entrance of the bullet and the surgeon says the bullet could not have gone any distance in a direct line without plercing the heart. The sciagraphs indicate that the ball was not deflected. If it proves to be back of the heart the mystery will be greater than ever.

Chicago Trying to Collect $8,000,000 of Back Dues. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, July 16.—During the past few days the Judges sitting in the County Court have been busily engaged in entering judgments and ordering sales or distraints in the cases of citizens who are delinquent in their taxes on real estate or personal property. The number of these delinquents is said to run up between sixty and sev- arrearages involved exceed eight millions of dollars. Most of the large taxpayers have paid, although many of them have been compelled to borrow money to do so, and the bulk of the taxes unpaid is upon the small residences, furniture and other per- sonal property of small tradesmen an wage-workers whose incomes have either been materially reduced or cut off aito- gether by the hard times. A period of thirty days’ grace dated from to-day, has been allowed to the delinquents, but the in dications are that only a small percentage will be able to take advantage of it, and forced eeizures of furniture and household effects and sales of real estate to tax sharks \from the steps of the Court-house will be in order laie next month to an extent un- precedented in this city.

JENKINS COULDN’T RESIST TAKING MRS. COREY’S PURSE. SHE NEEDED MONEY BADLY. Pool-Room Attache’s Wife Describes the Bitterness of Her First Temptation. Mrs. David Jenkins, the pretty wife of a well-known pool room attache, who was ar- rested for the theft of a purse containing $40 and a railroad ticket to Owassa, Mich., will not be prosecuted. After a conference between Capt. O’Malley, Ticket Broker Schubach and Mrs. Cory, the owner of the purse, Mrs. Jenkins was released. After her arrest the police made évery MRS. JENKINS. effort to establish whether she was engaged in any nefarious work, and learned that she bears a good reputation. Her apartments at 3144 Locust street were cast any suspicion on Mrs. Jenkins save the purse belonging to Mrs. M. D. Corey of Owassa, which she was accused of having stdlen. It and its contents were turned over to the owner Thursday night. All day and until 9 o’clock at night, Mrs. Jenkins remained in Matron Breen’s deten- tion room. Not a friend—not even her hus. band—called upon her. She felt dejected, and when visited by a Post-Dispatch re- the truth as to how she came in possession of M rs. Corey's purse. “When I said that a lady whom I did not began, “I simply pervaricated. I did this in the hope of abeatninn my release, intend- ing as soon as I was released to return the property to the owner. I see my mistake now and am sorry I did not tell the truth in the first place, ‘I did not steal the purse. I was passing Union Station and was going to South 8t. Louls when I dropped into the ladies’ toilet sanda. When I entered the apartment there was not a soul about. 1 saw the pocketbook lying on the wash- stand, and I picked itup.

I resolved at once to sell the railroad ticket, thinking 1| never would find the owner. “I went down town early. I planned to sell , the ticket and then do some shopping. When I showed the ticket broker the transporta- tion he never said a word, but walked out of the office and returned with two police- men. I had no idea I was_to be locked up. I thought I would be asked to explain, and would get a chance to return the money purse and ticket. When I was questioned about the transportation, however, the lady who owned it was not there, so I told a lib, thinking she would call around later. “This is the first time I have been in trouble, and it nearly breaks my heart to think none of my friends have been to see and aid me. In the future I'll not bother my head about an abandoned pocketbook, even if I knew it contained a million. All my friends and acquaintances will look down on me now, and I know I wil! never be able to live down this Sagnage. People will not look at it as they should.” When Capt. O’Malley heard this story he made an investigation. Mrs. Corey corrob- orated the etory, at least that part wherein she claims the purse was left on the wash- stand. “Mrs. Jenkins,” said Capt. O'Malley, “is not a thief. She !s a woman in hard luck. She has been used to + paps & and alwaye had plenty of money, until a short while ago, when the pool-rooms were closed. This threw her husband out of ay dg we and since then, I am told, they have been on their uppers.” Search for Mrs. Jenkins’ husband and his brother proved fruitless. It was learned that they had went to the'r boarding-house for supper Thursday, but when told of the trouble of Mrs. Jenkins, left without partak- ing of their meal and leaving most of their effects behind them. To friends they said they would never again return to the house and would rather leave everythin behind them. The brother-in-law declared would leave the city at once. “It was not necessary,” said one of them to a pool-room employe, “for her to steal or even pick up a pocketbook. Even if we did not have ready cash, we have jewelry on which money could be obtained and friends from whom we could borrow."’ It is probable that the Jenkins boys will return to their home in Philadelphia, SAYS HE HAS MONEY. But George Altmus’ Acquaintances Say He Reads Too Much Trash. George Altmus, who says he is one of the heirs to a $120,000 estate in Philadelphia, is a pauper patient at the City Hospital, re- covering from a protracted spree. Altmus’ grandfather left his property to his grandchildren, twelve in number. There was one eon, to whom the property was left in trust. At his death the estate ‘s ef be divided. He is now 75 years oid, and in feeble health. Altmus says he gets $30 per | month from the estate, and receives remit- | tances semi-annually. He had been drinking hard and was on the verge of delirium tremens when he was re- ceived at the hospital. Mrs. Mullen, 4748 Le Duc street, with whom Altmus boarded, said she believed his mind was more affected by the literature he read than the alcohol he drank. She said he was a constant reader of the yellow-back novels, Altmus, who is now quite sober, talks rationally. He eays he d'd read a great deal, but denies the yellow-back fiction. He says Mrs. Hiolmes, Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, Bertha Clay and other writers of light fic- tion were his favorite authors, and he cared for no other kind of reading. Altmus is about 40 years old and unmar- ried. He was a dry goods clerk on Easton avenue, until he was discharged for getting drunk.

After the wedding, which was quite a society event for the town, the newly made couple basked in the light of each other's smiles in the peaceful little nest Belleville had provided for his bride, in perfect hap- piness and contentment apparently until Tuesday afternoon. Bellevilie told his wife he had a business engagement in St. Louis that afternoon, but promised faithfully to return in the evening. So he left the pres- ence of the charming bride with a good-by kiss and $1 of her money. He failed to return Tuesday evening, and Wednesday morning he did not show up.

Honest educators and all citizens hav- ing the interests of public education at heart have protested and struggled for years against the control of school] book cont. acts by school book trusts. These trusts have placed a heavy incu- bus of oppression and corruption on the public school system of every State they have invaded for the purpose of monopolizing the school book contracts. The trail of the trusts through the States is slimy and malodorous. By the un- ecrupulous use of wealth and influence the trusts have driven or bought out com- petitors and abused monopoly to lay a heavy tribute on the people through the most sacred public institutions of the country—the free schools. Missour! is offered an opportunity to be free, in part, at least, from the trust monopoly of public school books. The new BState School Book Commission, created by the Legislature with the spe- cial object of protecting the people from oppressive overcharges in school books, ‘has the power and the opportunity to break the book monopoly. Bids have been offered by competitors of the book trusts from 20 to 25 per cent lower than the trust bids. The struggle of the trusts to beat off competitors is attended by the usual swarm of lobbyists, by charges of inferiority of competing books and by abundant rumors of cor- ruption, These accompaniments of mo- nopoly struggles for control emphasize the duty of the commission to deal with the matter with absolute fidelity to the high public trust confided to its hands. They intensify the obligation to smash the trusts at every point where it can be done. But there Is another aspect of the con- test. The lower bids on a large part of the books have been submitted by Mis- sour! publishers. The sentiment expressed in resolutions adopted by the Manufact- urers’ Association and the Business Men’s League of this city that the contract should be given to home publishers if it can be done without detriment to the in- terests of the people is the sentiment of the people of the State. It is estimated that the total amount to be paid out by the people for books under the contract will reach the enormous sum of $3,000,000. By awarding the con. tract to the lower bidders of the State a large part of this sum will be paid out in support of the industries and commer- cial enterprises of the States, and the people will be saved $500,000. These are most important factors in the determina- tion of the award. The controlling considerations in the award of the contracts, therefore, are: i—The smashing of the school book monopoly. 2—The encouragement of Missouri in- dustry and enterprise by the expenditure of nearly $3,000,000 within the State. 3—The saving to the people of the State on school books of about $500,000. Lastly—The combination of the smash- ing of the trust monopoly, the encourage- ment of Missouri industry and the saving to the people of half a million dollars. In the light of these considerations the Btate School Book Commission will be held to the strictest accountability for its action. ——-_ 2 — We have abolished smoke inspectors, but St, Louis can still boast that she raises more smoke since the panic began than any other city in the country. —_ -“ — =e THE WHIPPED HUSBAND. Mrs. Daniel Whalen of 2546 Palm street is the latest of several St. Louis women who, within the past two or three weeks, have administered severe thrashings to their husbands. And Mr. Daniel Whalen will be the first St. Louis husband of this fort to exhibit his woes and his wounds in open court. But will he? Will the new husband of the new woman be as forgiving and forbearing as the old woman has been for generations? Or will he appear as a prosecuting witness against the wife who has whipped him? This is one of the questions of the new era. How long will it be unt!l the abused husband, with tears streaming from blackened eyes, appears in court pleading for the Woman who has abused him, and crying out in paraphrase of the old style: | 1 World, “Oh, yer Honor, she beats me some- times, but she don’t mean It. She's a good girl at heart, Judge!” We will not attempt to. fix the date. But husband-beating is getting common enough to suggest a question which is respectfully referred to sociologists in search of problems. —_— Charles L.

Those who miss getting the Sunday Post-Dispatch of next Sunday willhave a greater disappointment than any that has been experienced before for the same cause. The only rival of the Sunday Post-Dispatch is the suceeeding Sunday Post-Dispatch. No other newspaper can supply its place, because no other newspaper in the West can do what it does, No other news- paper can touch the colored comic weekly which accompanies the Sunday Post-Dis- patch. No other newspaper has its fa- cilities, local or telegraphic, for securing news. No other newspaper can rival its special features. Those who want the best Sunday news- paper—absolutely the best, without quali- fication, in every department—must get the Sunday Post-Dispatch. In order to be sure of getting it—so great is the demand—copies should be or- dered in advance. ws —— The School Book Commission might give the Trust a contract at higher fig- ures than the Missouri bids without being corrupted, but it would be condemned, as men are hanged, on the strong circum- stantial evidence in the case. THE WHY. It is impossible to build the new City Hospital for which plans have been pre- pared and there is a pressing need. Why? No Money. Not a dollar has been provided in the general appropriation bill for street im- provements. Why? No Money. ' If the Supreme Court orders the city to pay the expenses of the special school ——— election other necessary expenditures must be cut down. Why? No Money. Streets and alleys must go uncleaned. Why? No Money. The Ingane Asylum and the Poor-house are miserably overcrowded, but additions cannot be built for years tocome. Why? No Money. But the lack of money did not prevent the Municipal administration, under the prodding of the bosses, from passing the Uthoff-Wittenberg grab providing for an increase of nearly $100,000 in the expenses of the Street Department for useless sala- ries. There is no money for the city’s needs, but plenty for machiue hench- men. _ oo? The first special correspondence of Mr, Sylvester Scovel, who is in the coal fields for the Post-Dispatch, sustains the repu- tation made by him in his brilliant work as a Cuban war correspondent of the perience in a Cuban prison and his Cu- ban letters were among the brightest and most interesting of the correspondence from the island. His letters from the scenes of the wage war of the miners have a special interest for St. Louisans by reason of his recent marriage to a charming St. Louis lady. i tf An autopsy on Horace M. Singer, who had lived in Chicago for years, revealed a pulmonary tuberculosis, an empyema containing a pint of pus, diffuse chronic nephwitis and fatty disease of the aorta.

A Poor Street Car Track. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Have the citizens no rights that the street car companies are bound to respect? I re- fer to that portion of street railroad on Grand avenue, lying between St. Louis ave- nue and Hebert street, which it would be a disgrace for any city one-third the size of St. Louis to allow a company to run cars over, As my business calls me to all parts of the city, I have to patronize the street cars on several lines each day. To-day, while com- ing south on Grand avenue, before noon, on the Scullin line, one car jumped the track, if track you can cal] it, and before it was placed upon the track there were four of the Grand avenue cars belonging to the Chicago syndicate all blocked and ten of the Scullin cars, compelling passengers to wait thirty-five to forty minutes in thelr seats.

A Frenchman has just patented a very MYSTERIOUS DANCING BALIS. In the show window of a well-known. 8t. Louis hardware firm recently a couple of 'Mmysterious dancing balls attracted much | | | | attention. The balls were of celluloid, about three inches in diameter each, tn fact, the ordi- nary celluloid toy ball made for young chil- dren. These balls danced in the air, about two feet from the bottom of the show window, absolutely without support. They rose and fell a few. inches continuously and noise- lessly, day and night, without any atten- tion. The mystery was partly explained by the presence about two feet above bthe bal!s of a large hanging magnet. The balls doubtless contained stee] filings or some metallic substance, as celluloid is not subject to magnetic attraction and re- pulsion. The balls hung and danced there without support, like the proverbial Mahomet’s cof- fin, because down below them, on the shelf of the show window, were four small mag- nets, whose attraction about balanced the attraction of the large magnet up above. After seeing these balls one could under- stand better how the planets are sustained in their orbits by an invisible force. The Central Labor Council of New York at its meeting the other night took the initiative in one of the most im- portant and far-reaching movements in its effects of any action in recent years by the trades unions of the United States. The Council passed a resolu- tion calling upon the American Fed- eration of Labor to issue an assess- ment of 10 cents a week upon each of, the 600.000 mem- bers in the United States to support the striking min- ers until they win. This is the first time in the history of the American Federation of La- bor that the de-- mand has been made for a uni- versal assessment on all its affiliated membership in the support of a strike for any of the na- tional organiza- tions connected with the Federa- tion.

FOREST PARK BROWNIES. Nature was evidently in a joking mood when ehe drew the plans for these little bugs. They are the most grotesque ob- jects in the insect world. They are to be found all over Forest Park among the twigs and on the leaves, but would never be noticed by any but a close observer. They belong to the family of “tree hoppers,” of which there is a great variety, and are per- fectly harmless. In general outline they resemble the nut of the beech tree both in appearance and in size, except that they all have humps on their backs. They are the “brownies” of the insect tribe and it is impossible to look at them through a glass without laughing. Their eyes always have a keen droll look and the line that- separates the head from the prothrax gives them the appearance of wearing glasses. They can be found in all the parks on twigs and leaves of trees. HOW UNCLE SAM MEASURES RAIN. This is the way the Government rain gauge used by Dr. Frankenfield looks. The popular idea of a rain-gauge would probably be something like a tin pail, into which the weather observer might stick a a foot rule. But Uncle Sam's weathér men are more subtle than that. In the apparatus shown in the picture the rain is led down through the funnel at the top, and runs into one of the little cups carefully poised on a swinging beam. When the cup is full it empties itself, and the other cup swings instantly into position. Electric wires are connected with the cups and beam, and they carry exact indications to a dial in the observer’s room, 2 ete ee re ST , KH Little Fun; You Cake HK on the Run.

BE IS AG, A. R. MAN AND DRAWS A PENSION. Glave, Warrior and Preacher, He Likes Creature Comforts and Has Had His Romance. If Uncle Anthony Edwards, who joined the G. A. R. Wednesday night, had been taught to write when he was a boy and had kept a diary with the same care that he has endeavored to carry events in his memory, he would have a work that the wealthiest libraries in the land would vie with each other to place on their shelyes. But Anthony was born and reared a slave, and however keenly he may have obeerved men and events from a time antedating the close of the administration of the first Pres- ident of the United States and the evaptPul years that marked the formative period of “the greatest government of the grandest republic the world ever saw,’’ he can only recount them from a memory that waa supposed to take no note of them, for he wae regarded as having no part or parcel of interest in the ship of State. It was never dreamed by his young mas- ter, Danie] Young, who was one of the wealthiest hereditary slave-owners of Louisa County, Virginia, that the little ne- gro who first saw the light of day in 1793, would ever become a citizen of this great republic, not only a voter, but that his mame would be borne on its pension rolls as worthy of the nation’s bounty for mil- jtary service rendered. The vicissitudes through which Anthony Pdwards has passed when in the apportidn- ment of the Young estate he fell to Ann Boxley, who had been his young mistress, and she and her husband started for the West to settle in Pike County, Mo., would fill a volume of interesting incidents. He was 12 years old then, and remembers well the day when they landed from a boat down at Carondelet. Anthony lives at 4300 Maffitt avenue, and claims to be 14 years old. He is remarkably well preserved, even for a man of 7. He » black, and his short-cropped, snow-white air is as thick and kinky as it was a cen- tury ago. His eyesight is fairly good, so s his hearng, and enough teeth remain for im to masticate his food.

The Promoters and the House of Dele- gates Thought It Was Very High. The City Council will probably act on the Worth and South Railroad bill to-night. It was introduced in the House of Dele- Sates May 4 and passed the following week. Only three members voted against it— Pauley, Madera and Robertson. Hirth was absent. Pauley and Madera pleaded for delay, to afford opportunyty for discussion. A caucus of the members was held the day before the bill was passed. It has been charged that moviey was used to pro- cure its passage, but there is no proof of this. Discord in the Railroad Committee of the Council resulted in delay. A majority and minority report were presented at the last meeting. , The franchise is one of the largest- ever asked of the city.

What Is Claimed to Be an Improve- ment on the Ford Auto- matic Switchboard. Automatic switchboards in telephone ex- | changes, the principle of which was first discovered by Dr. H. C. Ford of St. Louis, are gradually reaching perfection by means of improvements, upon which limited pat- ents are issued by the Government. The automatic system of switching has not yet come into general use. The defunct Harrigon International Telephone Co. made a great ado about bringing the Ford pat- ents into universal use, but that company did nothing. The Bell people are using the automatic switch in a limited way and the new Kin- loch company will probably employ it 'ex- clusively. In this connection it is interesting to note that another St. Louis man, W. W. Davis, has secured a patent for an automatic switch, which, while it operates in the same general way as the Ford system, is yet sufficiently distinct not to make it en infringement. The machine comprises a dial or disk, with a power-driven arm operating in juxtapost- tion to the disk; a stop to arrest the motion of this arm at any predetermined point, a make and break mechanism, comprising a rotary shaft geared to the arm mentioned, and provided with separate insulated por- tiona, and a contact arm adapted to bear against said shaft in the path of the in- sulated portions. These machines are to be located at all outlying statiorg and are to be operated in combination with a central exchange sta- tion, comprising an electrical device in cir- cuit with the make and b mechanism. The machine is very Intricate and involves much delicate mechanism, but it is held by the patentee and his attorneys to complete- ly overcome all previous objections to the automatic system of telephone ewitching. Whether the new machine will wholly do away with the “hello giri,”’ or whether it ig designed to make automatic house to houseconnections, is not apparent from the description and designs, but it is claimed that ft will remove much of the cumber- some methods of telephone connection now in vogue, The new patent was issued two weeks ago. De. Ford, the original patentee of the automatic switch, declines to say whether he considers the patent of Mr. Davis an improvement over his own. In fact he de- clines to discuss the subject, except to say that all automatic switches other than his own are mere adaptations of his discovery. The doctor does not seem to be afraid of Mr. Davis or his @atent. LITHOGRAPHERS’ UNION. Amalgamation With Artists Deferred Another Year.

Se eee: ee ee ae ¢ Se a ae : was rd ; The Brain Centers of Speech and Memory Wounded by the Man Who Shot His Eyes Out in Forest Park. The remarkable case of ElMott IL, Duckworth, aged 2), who shot out both his eyes while at Forest Park, June 14, and who forgot his own name, was brought by the Post- Dispatch to the attention of Dr. Charles H. Hughes, the néurologist, Wednesday morh- Duckworth fs at the City Hospital in a dying condition from erysipelas developed from his wound. He was known as Doling until last Monday, when his memory slowly returned to him and he was able to recall his name and his home at Hutchinson, Kan. Dr. Hughes drew for the Post-Dispatch a brain chart to show the brain centers which were either wounded or shocked by the pistol bal), ‘The center for the utterance of word memories, written or spoken,” sald the doctor, “lies just over and back of the eyes. It may be called the organ of speech formatories. “Over and back of the ear lies the center of hearing and word memories, while the muscular and visual memory centers are higher up, towards the crown. “I have a case out here in St. Charles County, where a young man had gouged his eyes out with a sharp etone in a fit of Insanity occasioned by unrequited love. memory was impaired and he never recovered his mind. He was a patient at the State ) Insane Asylum at Fulton when I wee Superintendent there,” His | & meetin raised by the Archbishop in his assault up- on the pastor of St. Patrick’s. Its princi- pal point is a refutation of the charge that Fr. Tuohy had mismanaged the finances of St. Patrick’s, and this branch of the de fense Fr. Tuohy’s parishioners of St. Pat- rick’s took upon themselves. They believe their affairs have not been mismanaged, and they appointed a commit- tee to go over every item in the parish books, Their report, which was submitted Thurs- day evening, and unanimously adopted at of the parish, is a complete vindi- cation of Father Tuohy in his relation with St. Patrick’s. The report was prepared in the form of an affidavit, was signed and sworn to by eve member of the committee, and as such wi be presented to Archbishop Kains’ commit- tee as part of the “res gestae,”’ or as sworn testimony for the defense. This report of the St. Patrick’s committee not only exonerates Fr. Tuohy from the charge of reckless financiering, but it holds up ather James McCaffrey, present rector of the Cathedral, and close friend of the roe, ne Satterng _oerees as a ancier while he was administerin eo ¥ - aries e. digas ne of the charges of the Archbisho against Fr. Tuohy is that he failed to ne count for $800 alleged to be due to St. Pat- rick’s School Association, and charging that he had used this sum to pay his own Debts. The committee, after an exhaustive ex- amination, declare: “On examination of the record of a meet- ing of the Board of Trustees of St. Pat- rick’s School Association, held Oct. 28, 1898, with President James McCaffrey presiding, we find a resolution offered by Nicholas Gagen (which was adopted) authorizing Rev. Fr. J. T. Tuohy to place a mortgage of $4,000 on St. Patrick’s School to enable} Fr. Tuohy to pay the debts assumed by the school association and contracted prior to Fr. Tuohy assuming charge as pastor of St. Patrick’s Church. “Rev. James McCaffrey reports having ad- vanced from time to time during the last ten years out of the church moneys to pay running expenses, insurafice, fuel, teachers’ salaries, interest, repairs, etc., $3,000, all of which the school association owes. Now, in s ttlement of this account, Rev. Fr. James affrey, as he was about to move from S “atrick’s Church and give up the pres- idency of the school association, proposed to waive these claims, provided the school association would assume certain indebted- ness against St. Patrick’s Church, amount- ing to $1,761.21. Vote being taken by the trustees present, the proposition was ac- cepted unanimously. In connection with Fr. McCaffrey’s claim of $3,000 We fail to find any record of the money he claims to have advanced or the date the payments were advanced.”’ Then follows a record of expenses iIn- curred by reason of the tornado. These amounted to $1,328.16, which, being added to the debts left behind by McCaffrey, $2,114, made a total of $3,442.16. Current ac- counts amounted to $435.05, a grand total of ,510.21, When Fr. Tuohy borrowed the $4,000 he was compelled to submit to a discount and “commissions” and only netted on the loan $3,832.48. In other words he paid out in set- tling Fr.

Little Joseph Green of Chicago Is Clever at Detective Work. Joseph Green, the 14-year-old son of a barber doing business at 1099 West Twelfth street, Chicago, Ill, possesses an unusual amount of detective ability. Two weeks ago Henry Green, his 12-year- old brother, mysteriously disappeared from home, and er every effort was made to get some trace of his whereabouts the search was in vain. A few days ago a friend of the Green fam- ily here wrote to the parents of the missing boy, informing them he had seen Henry in St. Louls. The parents then sent Joseph to St. Louis to searth for his missing brother. The young Sherlock Holmes made in- ulries in the neighborhood of Seventh and ranklin avenue and Wash street and 'learned that Henry had fallen into hard luck and could not obtain food. Joseph went to the Mayor’s office and was told that his brother had applied for transportation to Chicago, and when he could not obtain a pass he was sent to the House of eo Joseph went to the House of Refuge ear Friday morning with an order for the release of his brother, and together they a to the Union Sta- tion in hope of securing transportation to their home.*« While they were lounging around the de- pot Policeman Kassing heard of their pre- dicament and took them to the Four Courts pans an effort to secure a pass for them ome. Henry. was asked why he left home. He replied -that he was looking for a position around one of the railroad stations in Chi- cago when he met a man who told him if he would go with him to St. Louls he would obtain employment for Henry. When they reached here the man deserted Henry on the street, leaving him penniless and homeless. Henry made the best of a bad bargain, however. He slept in doorways and on steps and managed to obtain food enough to Eeep him alive until he entered the reformatory. LET THE GIRLS ALONE. These Indiana Trainmen Had Evident- ly Got Too Gay.

FEW FAVORITES FINISH FIRST. BOOKMAKERS NOW HAVE ALL THE BEST OF THE GAME. Purses Go to Second Choices and the Public Seldom Gets Down on ‘One That Wins. Those regular race-going individuals who compose that great body known at the Fair Grounds track as the talent, do not know where they stand. For some days past they have found the racing game a very hard one. Up to within the past few weeks public form was triumphant. With the form sheets the handicappers and the bettors had easy @alling before them. They hed little trouble in figuring out what horse should win be- cause he had beaten other horges that in their turn had beaten certain others. And they were rewarded, for the horses seemed run true to form, and there was hardly a ay that the favorites did not split the card and win at least three out of the six races. his true running to form was the sub- ject of general comment among the race- oers and the speculators, but there has een a change. ‘ith alarming regularity the favorites are bowled over one after the other, and for some days past the talent has been hard hit on nearly every race. If the bettors could get together on a winning sec- ond choice the bookmakers would get hurt, but they scatter their ammfinition all over the slate and shoot their wads at losers. For ten ove most of the money that has pone into the tin boxes of the bookmakers as stayed there. As long as form as figured out stayed to dhe front at the Fair Grounds the book- makers had the worst of the meeting. Up to the time of the St. Louis-Derby but two of the layers of odds were as good as even and they were gamblers who had taken chances with their rolls at other books. At least half a dozen bookmakers had dropped off the line, discouraged and crippled, if not broke. But the bookmakers have discovered the truth about the old saw of the lane and the perning,..ane things are at last coming their way. e trouble seems to be that the owners of winning horses are raising them too much. With the same horse out two or three times a week he becomes track sore, and form is not maintained, Of the six winners at the Fair Grounds hursday but one was the favorite in the etting. FINE SPORT PROMISED. Many Entries for the Mound City Tournament. All arrangements are now complete for the big tournament to be held by the Mound City Cyclers at the Pastime track Saturday afternoon. Thirty-seven of the best riders In St. Louis have entered and will compete in the events. The novice contains about fifteen entries, and will be a hard fdught battle for the $35 medal offered. Prominent among the riders in this event are Fred Maule, A. C. Nolte and Bob Orr. In the mile open all of the best amateurs are entered, including Hattersley, Maule, Weidner, Buder, Gast and Joe Howard. This will be a very exc ting event, owing to the fact that in the mile open the rider’s per- centage for the season Is figured. There is a large field of starters in the two-mile oe and Judging from the condition of the track, it will undoubtedly be ridden in or: pretty close to the record. It promises to be the fastest two-mile handi- cap ever ridden in the State. The officials for the event are as follows: . . M. Rosborough; udges, Garth illingsley, Arthur Young; ym suey timers, R . Lee, H. W. Belding, F. ‘ Howard; scorers, E. J. Rotty, D. R. Davis, Jas. Arbuckle, ir.; starter, . P. Laing; clerk of course, Louts Rosen; assistant clerk of course, Jas. R. Thursby; umpires, E, L, Morgan, Gus Loeffe)l, Dave Coburn, Sr.; an- nouncer, Gus Pleus; handicapper, W. M. Rosborough. One of the features of this meet will be the starting of the races a little later than has.been usually the case. The races will begin at 3p. m. promptly. Everything has been arranged to make the spectators as comfortable as possible. ‘The price of ad- seston has been reduced to meet the mes. TEN EYCK IN THE FINAL eree Henley Singles Narrows to a Two-Man Contest. HENLBPY-ON-THAMES, July 16.—Dr. W. 8. McDowell of Chicago was beaten by H. T.

This leaves the final contest for the great trophy for single sculls between Black- etaff, an glishman, and Ten Byck, an American. Blackstaff'’s victory proved very gon for at the finish he was greeted with shouts of “Geod eld England.’ The result has in- creased the belief of the Englishmen that he will defeat Ten Pyck in the final.

Y., is having a bicycle built for himself and an- other for his little wife. They had to be made to order and meas- urement, as the Admiral could not find ma- chines in stock that were suitable. The Admiral says he intends to ride principally to reduce his size, not in height, for that is emall enough, but in width, so to speak, for he is growing very corpulent, s0 much so that at a distance one might take him for a ball rolling along. He also says he wants a wheel to jump upon to go to fires, as he is the foreman of one of the village fire companies, and, on account of his aforesaid corpulence, finds it impossible to run to fires. Unless he does something besides walk he would not reach a fire until it was all out and the company coming home. ear-old class. Address William McCauley, 48 Division street.

Marching Miners Create Alarm in Il- linois—Hunter Denounces Tanner. POLAN DECLARES THIRTEEN OP- ERATORS ARE MONITORS OF THE BUSINESS. Ratchford Says West Virginia Tie-Up Is Imminent—De Armitt’s Turn Next. HOW THEY STAND TO-DAY. The strike is spreading in TIilinois, where miners are marching and foraging. At Horneby and Taylorville, Tll., all are out. Belleville is the storm center. West Virginia is in doubt. The strik- ers have all the advantages, but operators will try to keep their men at work Sunday, out of reach of organizers. The Kanawa, Norfolk and Fairmount men may make the first break. The State arbitrators expect to win with true uniformity, but it may require more than a ape 4 President Dolan de- clares that thirteen coal] kings are moni- tors of the whole business. Mr. De Ar- mitt again explains his position. Presi- dent Ratchford persists in ignoring the State Labor Commissioners, and declares De Armitt’s turn will come when West Virginia is tied up, which is imminent. CLEVELAND, O., July 16.—The effect of the increased tariff of 45 cents on West Vir- ginia coal by the Baltimore & Ohio Road will have the effect of exciuding West Vir- ginia coal from competition, and 't !s openly admitted that such was the purpose of the advance. The operators were claiming that owing to the existence of contracts at fixed fig- ures they could not advance the rate of mining without losing money. If they All the contracts with West Virginia coal the advanced tariff will make them lose money anyhow. Therefore the railways advanced the transportation charges for the express pur- pose of furthering the settlement of the &trike. The rate does not apply to coal for lake shipment. CUT OFF MEN’S SUPPLIES. Company Stores Closed in Pittsburg : District. Bnecial to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 16.—The miners’ of- Nicials said that operators all over the dis- trict have closed the company stores in or- der to cut off supplies to the men while the sirike lasts. This leaves the miner depen- cent upon the fruits of forage and charity. District President Dolan and District Sec- retary Warner want it thoroughly under- stood that this uniformity movement will not in any way interfere with the continu- ance of the strike by the miners. At least it will have no bearing on the present con- flict until enough signatures are obtained to put it la operation. DE ARMITT AND DOLAN. Statements of the Two Chiefs at Pittsburg. By Telegraph to the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 16.—If the miners’ leaders properly apply the power they seem to have, as demonstrated by this strike, they can make uniformity a success. They did Hot do it the last time. I have always been in favor of uniformity, but it must be honest and not alleged uniformity; that was the fault with the last sacheme. They tried to make me believe my competitors were com- piying with the conditions, when I found they were not. Opposing WILLIAM P. DE ARMITT, President New York & Cleveland Gas Coal o. By Telegraph to the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 16.—While we can Go nothing but wait and hope that Mr. De Armitt is honest this time, I have no hesi- tation in saying that I have no faith in his alleged sincerity. I believe his apparent friendship for uniformity is peing manifest- - for the purpose of holding his men in e, If Mr. De Armitt is really as sincere as he professes to be, I can tell him of an @®asy way to get the signatures of all the other operators to the agreement.

COLUMBUS, O., July 16.—Mr. Ratchford says this morning: “I have encouraging words from the Fairmount, W. Va., district. Several mines have suspended. Our agents there are making good progress. They give the names of some of the suspended mines. Being asked about Mr. De Armitt, Mr. Ratchford said: “His policy has always been to put up something that looked feasi- ble and get the operators and miners to work at it while his company’s mines con- t'nued. His purpose now Is to prolong the str ke and rean the harvest, but in this he will not succeed. As soon as the West Vir- ginia coal ig shut out, steps will be taken to stop De Armitt.” WEST VIRGINIA IN DOUBT. But the Advantages Are All on the Strikers’ Side. WHEELING. W. Va., July 16.—The ad- vantages this morning are all on the strik- ers’ side. None of the miners have re- turned to work. The idle miners are com- paratively small, aggregating 400 men, sympathy for strikers are aiding the agitators greatly.

During the excitement attending the bloody work three men were shot, two of thein seriously. In the general fusillade stray shots hit the father of Miss Williams sweetheart, Will Perdue. One other man, whose name could not be learned, was also shot. The girl's father received two bad wounds, one in the neck and one in the arm. Perdue, her betrothed, was shot in the leg. The third man re- ceived a wound In the hand. The mob had formed a circle around the | already been | prostrate negro, who had trampled to death. In the front rank were the relatives of the murdered girl, father, brother, her uncle and her flance. At a given signal two hundred pistols and guns were discharged at the negro. Then the shooting became indiscriminate and the crowd scattered. Everything was wild with excitment, and shots meant for the negro flew wild of their mark. To-day a negro preacher at Iron City is | He shielded the rapist , being looked for. yesterday and assisted him in escaping from the mob. There will be further trouble if he is found. The crime for which Williams, the negro, was killed was one of the most horrible on record. Near West Point, Tenn., last Tues- day afternoon, he assaulted and killed Miss Rena Williams. The negro was captured yesterday, and his lynching soon followed. For two days and nights 300 men, armed and determined, have scoured the country Several times posses were with- in shooting distance of him, but he escaped. He was captured within sixteen miles of the scene of his crime. A man named Clark, to whom he applied for tobacco, suspected Williams was first traced to Iron City. He traded the young lady’s belt to a negro woman for a night's lodging. He was later seen at Pruitton and several shots were fired. All trace of him was lost until yester- the woods without food over two days and running most of the time, so that he was exhaueted. The crowd took him back to the scene of his brutal crime, tied him to the same tree that he had tied his victim to when he out- raged her, and there gave him a torturing death. The mob was composed of most sub- stantial men, The victim was shortly to have been married to a young man in Nash- ville. Her intended husband came down from Nashyille to-day and was at West Point to meet the crowd of avengers and as- sist them. The young lady left her home early Tues- day morning to pick berries. When she did not return for dinner her friends went in to a sapling with a leather strap around her neck. One of her eyes had been gouged out, a 36u CLEARING | ®. W. Cor. 7th and Franklin Av.

Other cities are awakening to the importance of permanent annual expositions, notably in New York, Phila- delphia, Chicago and Cleveland, which in itself is the best evidence of the value of the St. Louis Exposition, Fair and Veiled Prophet, and is the reason for the g loyal support that our people have given to these organizations. « It is an tndisputable fact that expositions and fairs are not only attractive, but are educational as well, and it is generally admitted that no large commercial center can ignore the force and effect of these expositions upon the trade and com- The potent effect is to attract visitors and buyers, to advertise the place and secure low excursion rates on all transportation lines. The move- ments are beneficial to the producer, transporter and consumer. Enthusiastic Resolutions Adopted by the Business Men’s League in the Interest of Increased At- tractions and Trade. Resolved by the executive committee of the Business Men’s League, That, in view of the ag‘tation of the question of the great importance of industrial exposi- tions and fairs in all large cities, and the activity of several places to provide for the entertainment of visitors, securing low rates and the display of the wares, goods and merchandise of the merchant, manufacturer and farmer, as an invalu- x able adjunct of trade and commerce, a committee, to consist of three members x each from the Business Men’s League, Spanish Club, Manufacturers’ g Association, Merchants’ Exchangeand the St. Louis Exposition, be ap- Y: pointed (by the president of each of the above-named organiza. x : e and formulate la for securin for St. Louis See.

The ~ nually to St. Louis, have been to the advantage of every citizen. The St. Louls strike of 18% lasted three months, and while The Columbian Fair at Chicago was a splendid effort of American pluck and a magnificent display of the American advancement in close comparison with the products of the most enlightened nations of the world. The American manufac- turers were benefited and suffered nothing in comparison. this great achievement was well spent. The Columbian Fair was preceded by the Centennial at Philadelphia and the Cotton Centennial at New Orleans, and followed by the Atlanta Fair, and now we have the centennial of the admission of Ten- nessee into the union celebrated by a fair at Nashville, Tenn. lowed by a fair at Omaha next year, and fairs are projected at Milwaukee and Appropriations have been made by the general government for all All the money spe > done its share for the city’s growth every year with a nocturnal pageant of great merit and effect. In 1884 the doors of the St. Louls Exposition were opened, and it has gone on and upward to this day, and is still pushing its way forward in the very lead of annual expositions. Alterations are being made at an expenditure of $150,000 to provide a coliseum for the largest gatherings and a place for horse shows ¢ and other attractions. The Exposition coliseum will provide a place accessible to all car lines, and situated in the heart of the city, within ten minutes’ walk of x the Union Station and the principal hotels, giving St. Louis the ideal exposition and coliseum of the country. The growth of the exposition idea for large cities, in which St. Louis stands pre-eminently the first, is shown by the agitation of the > question in many cities in the Past for the building of such institutions for the purpose indicated. St. Louis can well point with pride to its institutions of this r4 character, and right royally have the people supported them. 2 $9:09-00-9-099O0609 90909990099 999-0000460-0506-00600 000669 them and our stands alone and un- This is to be fol- WHY OPERATORS SAY THERE ‘ WILL BE NO FAMINE.

AN INJUSTICE TO PHILLIPS. HE WAS BLAMED FOR ANOTHER OFFICER’S MISHAP, Capt. Pickel’s Failure to Report the Accident to Clara Thompson May Cause Him Trouble. Capt. John N. Pickel of the Second Po- lice District will have an opportunity to ex- plain to the Board of Police Commissioners why he failed to make a report on the Twentieth and Carr streets accident, ac- credited in the newspapers to Capt. Phjl- lips of the Fifth District. Capt. Pickel left the city Wednesday on his furlough, knowing presumably that a brother officer of equal rank was charged with something he himself had done, yet he made no effort to accept the responsi- bility. As it stande now the running down of li-year-old Clara Thompson at Twentieth and Carr streeta Tuesday at noon’ § may cause Capt. Picke] trouble with the Police Commissioners, Investigation shows that the child was neither knocked down nor struck by the horse or carriage, but received her injuries by falling from fright. She was crossing from the northeast to the northwest corner of Twentieth and Carr streets. when the spirited gray driven by Capt. Pickel dashed up. The child spran back and fell on the curb, bruising her bac her right leg, below the knee, Capt. el jumped from his buggy and tried to comfort the child. While he was uleting her Mrs. Washington, with whom Clara lives, at 2019 Carr street, ran up and took her home. Capt. Pickel followed, and after satisfying himself that her injuries were not serious, he gave the child 50 cents. No one present heard Capt. Phillips’ name mentioned. When the papers related the incident, naming Capt. Phillips, that official was as- tonished. He had not been in the vicinity mentioned for weeks. He reported to headquarters that a mis- take had been made. Acting Chief Kiely instructed Capt. Joyce to investigate and report to him the name of the Captain who caused the accident. Sergeant Boyd brought to light that Capt. Pickel was the man. This report was forwarded to Chief Kiely Thursday. Capt. Phillips accompanied a Post-Dts- atch reporter to the Washington home hursday afternoon. Both the child and Mrs. Washington were positive that the ‘What is the use.” he returned. “The ac- euraté description of Capt. Pickel. Chief Kiely was asked if Pickel’s failure to make a report would be investigated. “What is the use,” he returned, “‘T he ac- eident was trivial.’’ “An innocent officer’s name would be cleared,”” was suggested. , “Tt’s cleared now. Sergt. Boyd's report does that.”’ BS “Then you will do nothing? “No. there is nothing to do. The only in- jury done that I can eee is to ne tu Philips s and he will get over that.” eee Dae Pickel's failure to “Do you consider Capt. report a neglect of duty? “Certainly, but the incident was of such gmall consequence it is hardly worth notic- ing.’’ Police Commissioner Bannerman takes @ different view of the matter. He declared with emphasis that the treat- ment of Capt. Phillips by a brother offi- cer was outrageoue, and that the heads of the department were neglecting their own duty when they failed to ‘nquire into om Pickel‘s conduct in leaving Capt. Phillips charged w'th his own offense, ‘The Police Roard does not meet until July 27."" said Mr. Bannerman, “but you can gay the matter will be taken up then and the officer’s conduct inquired tnto. It Wwae wrong: it was unjust, and should re- ceive the grave consideration of the com- miesioners.”’ LATIN-AMERICAN TRADE. Business Men’s League Propose an Ex- position of Products. The Rusiness Men's League adopted a series of resolutions at its meeting Thursday afternoon calling attention to the success of the St. Louis Exposition, the Agricul- tural Fa'ir and the Veiled Prophet, in secur- ing to the city a great annual influx of visit- ors and reduced rates of transportation. In view of these euccesses the League re- solved that a committee be appointed of three members each from the Business Men’s League, Spanish Club, Manufacturers’ ssociation, Merchants’ Exchange and St. uis Exposition, “‘to meet and formulate a plan for securing for St. Louls a permanent exposition of the products of Mexico and Central and South American States, where samples of the products of these countries may be gathered together and exhibited in the interest of better commercial relations and increased business, and interchange of commodities between these countries and our merchants and manufacturers,” On the question of State school books the league urged the commission “to elve care- ful consideration to the local bids and to award contracts to firms employing Missouri labor and investing their capital in this State, as far as is consistent with the best —~ he of the schools and of the school und.”’ A vote of thanke was tendered the Mis- sourt delegation in Congress for their suc- cessful efforts to secure liberal appropria- tions for Jefferson Barracks. The new belt line ordinance was referred to the Legisiative Committee, The aboiition of the bridge arbitrary was discussed at length.

Fred Kendrick Came to the Rescue and Was Cut Under the Left Arm. The yells of a man coming from the rear of Marshall’s Mvery stable, 2627 Olive street, at 1 o’clock Friday morning, caused the stable boys and hostlers to run into the alley, where they found a man struggling with two negresses. Fred Kendrick, who stays around the stable, jumped into the fray and when the man who was being assaulted exclaimed “She’s got my pocketbook,’ he grabbed one of the dusky damsels. The wallet was in her hand and Kendrick took it from her. As he did so the negress cut him under the left arm with a pocket knife. The two women ran. The man who had been rescued from the women reached for his property and Ken- drick surrendered it. Then the mysterious stranger started on the run. When the police arrived Kendrick and the stable boys were the only ones in the alley. The former was not badly cut, a couple of pieces of plaster being al) that was required on the wound. Two colored women were arrested a few ‘ninutes later, taken to the Seventh District Station and then released, as Kendrick could not identify them. The man who was held up is believed to have been on his way home from Uhrig’s Cave. He was well dressed. Via B. & O. 8. W.

The St. Louis Club’s* Building Com- mittee Has Trouble in Making Its Selection. The Building Committee of the St. Louls Club, which is passing upon the architec- tural plans for the new structure on Lin- dell boulevard, is still wrestling with the problem, Four architects have submitted designs and it is the duty of the committee to select one. From a source close to the committee it is learned that it has thus far been unable to agree. The committee consists of H. C. Pierce, president of the club; L. D. Dozier, Prof. H. C. Ives and F. D. Hirschberg. All are men of architectural taste and all know something about the cost of building. They feel they have a great responsibility. Mr. Hirschberg said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter: “We are acting for the whole club and must exercise great caution. It is an important matter. We have paid nearly $60,000 for a lot and propose to expend $150,000 on a building. If we make any mistake it will be a sad day for the build- ing committee.” STRUCK WITH A LAMP. - — — NEGRESS HORRIBLY BURNED BY THE ACT OF HER LOVER. ENVELOPED IN FLAMING OIL. LOCKED IN HER ROOM AND LEFT WITH GARMENTS BLAZING. Physicians at the City Hospital Have No Hope Mamie Reynolds Can Recover. Tom ‘Wiseman, a white laborer, 35 years old, fought with his negro mistress, Mamie Reynolds, Thursday night, and, after throw- ing a lighted lamp at her and setting fire to her clothing, he locked her in her room and escaped. The woman is so badly burned that the City Hospital physicians have no hope of her recovery. Mamie Reynolds occupied a middle room on the first floor of 209 Valentine street, a neighborhood commonly known as Dead Man’s Gulch. Wiseman worked on the Levee day times and slept at the number given. The early part of his evenings was spent in squandering the money earned dur- ing the day. A negro known as “Slobs” called on Mamie Mr, Hirschberg further said that the four plans submitted were all so beautiful | and of such general excellence that the | committee was having a hard time to de- | cide, but he thought the members would come down to an. agreement Friday night or Saturday morning. Meanwhile the architects are impatient and hint strongly at a wrangle in the com- firms. Mr. Hirschberg denies this. Wabash Summer Excursions. Tickets now on sale to all points. E. J. PENNINGTON | B.

BOMB-THROWER IN MILWAUKEE THE NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL CUTS 30 TO 50 PER CENT. Opinions Differ Widely as to the Prob- able Effect on Business in & St. Louis. A dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis., states that the action of the Northwestern Nation- al Fire Insurance Company of that city in erdering a cut of from 30 to W per cent on all preferred risks has caused consterna- tion in the ranks of underwriters. The Western Union Board of Under- writers, with headquarters at Chicago, which comprises about 70 of the leading in- which is the strongest of the non-union companies, have long waged war, and this is but a continuation of the feud. The Governing Committee of the Western Union some time ago authorized a reduc- tion of from 15 to % per cent on all risks euch as dwellings and contents, school houses, churches and the best class of stone mercantile buildings in Northern IIli- nois and Southern Wisconsin. It is claimed this was done to meet the rates of the non- union companies, especially the Northwest- ern National, which, while it was not in fact cutting the rates, was giving a higher commission to agents, thereby getting the bulk of the business,’ but the public was not in the least benefited. The Western Union Governing Committe did not alter commissions, but made a stroke directly ap- uonal, said Friday: I know nothing about the proposed cut in rates. I have received no instructions to that effect. I am doing business here under foot. She screamed and made her way to the door, but in vain did she try to open it. Then to the window she went, scream- | ing continuously, but found it ee to et out by that means, as the bu lding next oor was too close to the window. In her excitement and sutering she did not think of the bed clothing w th which she might have smothered the flames. Her hair was burning from her scalp and great black blisters were rising all over her body. Some would break under the intense heat and the loose skin fall and be burnt to a crisp. She could smell the burning flesh and the sickness from that source added to her suffering. Wesley Malory and his wife, occupying the front room, hea the screams and went to the door of the Reynoids woman's room. Finding it locked they asked her what was the matter. By this time she was unable to do anything but scream. Malory broke the door in. In the middle of the room stood Mamie Reynolds en- veloped in flames, swinging her arms vio- lent in an effort to keep down the blaze. Malory seized the bed clothing and in a few minutes he had smothered the fire, but the victim was writhing in agony on the oor. An ambulance took her to the City Dis- pensary where lime water and sweet oil were applied, easing the pain, after which she was sent to the City Hospital. She is burned all over the body and limbs, but most dangerously about the head, neck and chest. The police at once begun 4@ search for Wiseman, but he had placed himself beyond reach before the officers_knew of the case. Detectives were sent to East St. Loulg Fri- day morning to look for Wiseman. OUT FOR THE COIN. Merchants’ League Club to Have an Operatic Benefit. The Merchants’ League Club will be the beneficiary of the entertainment at Uhrig’s Cave the evening of July 2, the proceeds to be used to replenish the depleted treasury of the organization. There is talk of buying or leasing less ex- pensive quarters than those now occupied at Olive and Eighteenth streets, the rent for which is $200 a@ month. The lease will soon expire, and a feeling exists among members there that something should be done to cut ers just like every other agent, and do not regulations of the local Board of Underwrit- think this reduction will app! but that it is meant for count ategha eke eee, Fe I mae wus Fae SEE St. Louis Underwriters, said: “There is nothing whatever in this little flurry at Mil- waukee to interest undérwriters here. I know nor care nothing about the situation up there, and we are paying no attention to it here.”’ “Suppose the rate reduction on risks extends here, what effect will it have?’ was asked. “It will not be extended.” ww hy not? Ig there anything to prevent it? **Yes. Common sense. This ts just a little fight up there over country business, and is ngs worth noticing.” . D. Hirschberg, the well-known under- writer, doesn’t colncide with Chairman national affair and i@ likely to be spread. It will not affect the underwriters’ d here, however, so much ag it will the individual members. The effect would be to drive many of them out of business, be- cause when rates are cut commissions are cut, and it is only the long-established and well-to-do local agents who can gtand a siege of much duration. . “The fact of it is, the West Union Governing mmittee started this fight in the interest of risk takers in Southern Wis- consin and Northern Illinois. The North- western National and other non-union com- anes were soft-soaping their at the surance companies and the Northwestern apenien of pobre ma and e Western Neighborhood Skirmish in Which the National with Alfred James as president, | Union thought it was time to ex the trick and give the public the benefit of the difference ween the regular rates and the fat commissions the Northwestern Na- tional was paying agents.
