Ciinging with his tiny hands to the foot- board of a locomotive, little Alfred Scho- Grosky’s strength gave out and he fell under the revolving wheels and his head was cut off and the 38-year-old body mangled until ft resembled a mass of butcher's meat. Holding on with all his might, the little fellow tried to pull himself up out of danger, and his shrieks and screams could be heard @ square away, but not by the engineer in the cab. A passer-by who saw the little fellow’s position waved down the locomo- tive. Then the little body was pulp under the engine. Mrs. Elizabeth Schodrosky, the mother of the child, staggered from a sick bed in her might clothes and fell senseless over the child’s body on the sidewalk, where it had been removed. For four hours the woman was in a atate of coma, and her death may result from the shock. It was only a little boy who was killed, and it is only a poor, hard-working and humble widow, the mother of five other children, whose life hangs in the balance, but for all that the accident was most pathetio in its every detail, and the condi- tion of the mother shows maternal love is just as strong among the poor, the strug- gling and the lowly as among the rich and the fortunate who make up the rest of the world. Fretting in the crowded room where his mother lay ill with fever, little Alfred Scho- Grosky was told by the invalid to run out on the street and play. The house is at 1410 North Main street. On the square west is the old deserted Van- Galia depot. This is © feet back from the sidewalk, and for two squares the street is wery wide, making a playground for the children of the neighborhood, who are al- ways careful to keep on the west side and off the tracks of the Merchants’ Terminal Association. These tracks run out to Madison and Granite City, and a ewitch engine, with a foot-board for a fender instead of a cow- catcher, draws a single coach hourly up and Gown the tracks. It is called the “Tin Can Express,” because most of the passengers are working men with their tin buckets, who are hauled to and from the Niedring- haus mills at Granite City, nine miles away. With his mother’s permission to go out and play, the little child ran gleefully out of the room. He did not even wait for hts hat, but with his little bare feet pattering down the steps he disappeared. It was 7:45 o’rlock in the morning, too early for the children, and the wide street was deserted. The baby ran around in esearch of his Playmates. Not finding them, he was re- | turning home. Coming back to the city, | the engine, No. 9, drawing the single coach, | No, 18, was running north at a speed of | about fifteen miles an hour. Just as the train reached Smith street. | the thoroughfare north of the tenement in which Mrs. Schodrosky and her children | live, the baby, bare-footed and bare-headed, | with his short yellow curls blown out by the : wind and his short black skirt fluttering | and flopping against his lees, started to | cross the tracks, running diagonally to- | Wards the entrance of his home, The child was so smal! that the engineer, | William Dissep, and the fireman, Ernest | Pfass, failed to see him. He was too near | the ground. Unconscious of his danger, the little fel- low toddied across the track. When half way over the foot-board of the engine | struck the legs of the child and upset him. In falling, the strength of the dimpled | Daby hands kept death away for a few sec- onds. With one hand he caurht the rear of the foot-board, and struggled and. screamed. | With strength a child of that ae: does not Ordinarily possess, the little fellow rot hig other hand upon the board and tried to pull | his body up. There were a few people on the street and | the child's screams cauced them to look @round, Heads appeared from open win- dows. The epectacie of that little curly-headed Baby, strugeling with death in a form so awful that the baby brain couldn't compre- hond it, Was seen by a hundred people.

The train crew got down and went under the engine. They found there the headless pody of the little boy. It was mangled and crushed into a mass of flesh and bones that bore no resemblance to a human body. They couldn't find the head. “There it is, on the outside of the track,” shouted an excited woman. It had rolled into the paved street, outside the rail, fifty feet from the spot where the train was stopped, The pulp of flesh was carried to the side- walk, where it was laid down in front of the office of the Charter Oak Stove Co, There the flesh and bones were straight- ened out, and the head placed on the brick pavement near the top of the body. Grocer John Mieder, who has a store in the square, ran up into Mrs, Schodrosky’s roan. She had been ill with malarial fever for a week, and was in bed. Her daughters, Martha and Johanna, who are cigaretie- makers at Drummond's factory, were nurs- ing her. The man told her the Httle boy was badly hurt on the street, “If Alfred is dead it will kill mother,” said one of the daughters. The mother staggered from the bed. Weakened by her illness, she held her hands out to steady herself while going down the narrow staircase. She was bare- footed and in her night dress. She hurried as fast as she could up to the corner, where she saw the crowd. She knew only that the child, her youngest and the darling of her mother’s heart, was hurt, The crowd made way for her. When she saw the dead and headless body she seemed e we oe mind grasped what had really hap- pened she screamed. It was the piercing whose love became frenzied. She ‘threw herself on the tiny body and wrapped her arms about the bloody pulp. F Nature came to her relief and she was un- Kind hands lifted her up and etretched her out on the sidewalk a few feet away. From the top of her low-necked white night hem of it was blood. It was the blood from the body of what had been rer child. She was carried back to her room and one of the neighbors summoned Dr. Garlock of Broadway. He’ found the poor woman still“unconsejoys, but soon revived ler. “My boy, my baby,”’ she moaned and im- med'‘ately went off into a state of coma. At 12 o'clock, when the doctor left her, she was in that condition. He thinks the shock of what she saw may result in her death. After the accident the children of the neighborhood walked along the tracks and picked up the little yellow curls of hair, be- smeared with blood, that were scattered along for twenty-five yards. These curls were given to the sisters of the child. The body was taken to the Morgue. CURRENCY MESSAGE, M’Kinley Will Send It to Congress as Soon as the Tariff Bill Is Signed.

IT MAY BE A MESSAGE FROM AN- DREE CONVEYING THE SsUC- CESS OF HIS VOYAGE, Scientist in London Expected That the Daring Explorer Would Be Heard From To-Day. LONDON, July 22.—A special dispatch from Copenhagen says a carrier pigeon has been caught in the vicinity of Tromsoe Island, near the north point of Norway, with the following stamped upon its wing: “North Pole passed fifteenth.”’ It is possible that this is a message from Andree conveying information of tHe euc- cess of his aerial voyage. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company. 1897. (Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.) LONDON, July -~ —There seems to be rea- son to believe that news will be received from Andree and his polar balloon within a day or two. J. Scott Keltie, the Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, eays: “The balloon ought to make 480 miles a day, and unless Andree stops he should be heard of within twenty-four hours. “News of success or failure may be first made known by carrier pigeons. The Royal Geographical Society will hear immediately by telegraph from lands anywhere possible to use a wire. STOCKHOLM, July 22.—The Aftonblatt has received a dispatch from Dr, Nansen, in which the explorer says he thinks Herr An- dree’s undertaking to reach the North Pole ee ag immediately | balioon is practicable. | EPOCKHOLAL July Z—Dr. Hikhola, who | was associated with Andree in the projected balloon expedition of last year, does not believe that the carrier pigeon caught on Tuesday in the neighborhood of Soevde, in Rifylke, with a silver ring on one of its feet and the message “‘North Pole, 142 W., 47.62,"’. in its wings, is one of Andree’s pigeons. He says Andree’s pigeons do not wear sil- ver rings on their legs, and they have “‘An- | dree’’ stamped on their wings. Moreover, he is confident Andree would not send such an obscure message. , LIZARDS 10 SPARE A Regular Colony of Them in Morris Collins’ Stomach and Thirty- Six Removed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July —Thirty- six lizards have been removed from the stomach of Morris Callins within the last week. The case is @ most pecullar one, owing to the great number of the reptiles and the fact that from the symptoms they were probably in the man’s stomach for a considerable time. Collins went to the office of Dr. G. N. Richmond ten days ago for treatment. He told the physician that he had been suffer- ing with stomach trouble for over five years and had been treated at the University Hos- pital and at a hospital in Chester. For a month he had been unable to do anything. Dr. Richmond gave Collins an éemetic, and, much to the patient’s surprise, thirty-three lizards came up from his stom- ach, followed by three more a few days later. Some of them were between two and three inches in length, and one, which was alive, lived for twenty minutes afterward, Dr. Richmond is inclined to think that they were spawn in the well water which Collins had been drinking and that these eggs were hatched in the man’s stomach. Collins belieyes that drinking from springs caused the inception-of his misery. He says that when he is sure he is entirely rid of the lizards he will be a new man, VESSEL GOES DOWN.

Standard Oil Has Superseded the Have- meyers in Control of the Re- fining Company. A CURIOUS DEVELOPMENT RE- GARDING THE APPRAISE- MENT OF SUGAR, Two Brothers Have a Monopoly, One Representing the Government and One the Trust. Specfal to the Post-Dispatch. | NEW YORK, July 22.—Two million dol- lars profit. in two.months is not half bad, even for a Wall street man. That amount represents ‘the rake-off of James R.- Keene, who has been playing Sugar all along the line. He prepared the way for his sugar speculations by knocking Delaware & Hudson stock from 127 to 103, and Jersey Central from par-to 68%. Then he bought Sugar. It was selling at 110 to 113. He sold at 144 ‘to 146, and cleared almost $1,- 500,000 on this deal alone. Sugar speculation has dropped back to- wards normal. It is ah accepted fact that the Standard Oil people have bought heavily and control the stock. It is said the Have- meyers are going Into real estate and with- draw entirely from Sugar. But speculations are not the only interest- ing features connected with Sugar. It de- velops that the Sugar Trust and the United certainly should be, at variance, rely for their data upon which to fix the importing price or the appraised valuation of Sugar upon the work of two brothers who for years have been partners in the firm of Sherer Bros., chemists, of this city. Edward Sherer was appointed an examiner of merchandise in the Appraiser’s Ware- house fn 1880, at a salary of $2,500 a year. John A, Sherer, the brother of Edward, rep- resents the Sugar Trust in all disputes which arise between the trust and the Government over the valuation of sugar. For this work he is said to receive a salary of $3,000 and perquisites. These perquisites are the sugar samples after inspection. Last year they amounted to 2,000 pounds of sugar. The brothers disclaim any business partnership at the present time. They say they seldom meet, and that they never consult with each other as to the valuations to be put on sugars. ° In any controversy, however, that may arise between the trust and the Govern- ment, one brother, John A., represents the trust, and the other brother, Edward, rep- resents the Government as its chemist. Edward Sherer explained his duties to- day: “The samples of sugar are sent to me. They are in duplicate and are numbered. We do not know to what importers the samples belong. After the test is made un- der my direction the samples are returned,” “T seldom see my brother John,” he add- ed. “He may have some connection with the trust,’ he continued. “If he has, it makes no difference with my work here.” John A, Sherer said that he became the trust’s representative several years ago, possibly about the time his brother began to expect adverse criticism. ‘I am the trust’s agent,’’ he said, ‘‘and I appear be- fore the Board of Appraisers for the trust ernment. I also fix the price at which sugar snall be scheduled when imported. There is a big penalty for undervaluing sugar more than 10 per cent below the figures finally fixed by the appraiser as determined by the Government test, in this case made by my brother. “For instance, if we fix the é¢mporting price at 10, and the Government appraiser says it is worth 170, then we must a a penalty for undervaluing the sugar equiva- lent to twice 13 per cent, because we have fixed the price at about 13 per cent less than it is fixed by the Government,” LOST HIS ROLL.

Without any public demand, the Munici- pal Assembly has given away & great rail- road franchise. Thirty-two miles of streets, covering néar- ly all available street car territory in this city, has been handed out to a few pro- motets, whose chief interest is speculative. Worth millions to those who will receive the privilege, the city has not provided | adequate compensation for its gift. Indecent haste characterized the passage of the measure, and left the whole transac- tioh open to the charge of attempted cor- ruption, so generally preferred agdinst the enactment of the bill. In spite of pleadings from careful afid conscientious Assemblymen, the North and South Railway Company scheme was hur- ried through both houses and the records falsified by authority of the Council to cover up an omission of the third reading of the measure. One Councilman was offered a bribe of $3,000 for his vote, and others beset by in- fluences more or less potential. These are some of the causes of indigna- tion on the part of citizens that will cul- minate Thursday night in a mass meeting at the Oriental Theater, where public pro- tests will be made egainst the work of the Municipal Assembly. The House of Delegates, in anticipation of developments, laid over its consideration of the Council amendments until Thursday afternoon, but will probably press the in- different charges in the bill at once, in face of the declaration by City Counselor Marshal] that its main provisions are ille- gal. “That bill was simply railroaded through the Council,” said President E. F. W. Meier to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “I knew such a measure was pending, but no citizen ever spoke to me about it. and I paid but little attention to it, supposing it would be killed, just as a similar measure, called the Sweeney bill, had been twice overwhelm- ingly defeated inside of two years. “It never occurred to me the bill had the slightest chance of passage until Tuesday evening, when I suddenly discovered it was going through.

The measure had been deemed so preposterous that I had not done more than glance at it. But my pleadings were in vain. Away it went, headlong to final passage. — “Indeed, the haste was so apparent and resistless that it was not read a third as the charter requires, but declared on its reading in Committee of the Whole. “I was opposed to the bill, if for no other reason, because it provides for laying a track the length of the busiest section of Third street, which would almost destroy the heavy traffic of that narrow thorough- fare. We had just refused, on that ground, to allow the Suburban to run a loop through Third street, changing its proposition to Fourth street. In fact, the North and South bill was railroaded. I am always op- posed to rushing through legislation before the people understand what we are going to do. There was no occasion for haste in this matter, and I am astonished at the re- sult. I voted and worked against it be- cause I wasn’t allowed time in which to study it.” “T am ashamed of the City Council,” sald Councilman Wiggins. : “This North and South Railway bill is nothing but a brokers’ bill, designed to be hawked about the stock exchanges of New York City and sold to whoever will buy, just as the electric Nghting franchise will be. “Why, only a few days ago the North and South franchise was offered to a friend of mine for $50,000. “Who are the men who propose to butid this road?

Rumor Carnegie ASSAILANT OF A WHITE WOMAN HANGED IN GEORGIA. MOB TOOK HIM FROM A TRAIN. The Authorities Were Taking the Prisoner From Macon to Atlanta to Save His Life. \ ATLANTA, Ga., July 22.—Oscar Williams, the negro who committed an assault on the daughter of a Henry County farmer last week and was transferred to the Macon Jail for safe keeping, was taken from the Central Rallroad train, on which he was being brought to Atlanta, at Griffin, this morning and lynched. Willlams was pursued through four coun- ties by hundreds of armed and infuriated men, immediately after the commission of his crime, but managed to escape. He was finally captured by a farmer at Barnesville and hurried off to Macon, where it was thought he would be safe. Excitement in the case was supposed to have subsided un- til last night when rumors reached Macon that an effort would be made by a mob from the neighborhood of the crime to take the negro out of jail, and the police reserve — the militia were called out to protect m. To make sure of his safety, however, the officials decided to remove the prisoner to Atlanta. They started with im on the Central train, leaving Macon at 4:20 o'clock, At Griffin, forty miles from Atlanta, near the scene of Williams’ crime, a mob board- ed the train, took the negro froen his guards, marched him through the principal busi- ness street of the town to a point 200 yards outside the corporate limits, where they hung him to a small oak tree. Fully 600 bullets were fired into the corpse as it dangled in the air. The members of the mob made no attempt at oe themselves, and thelr names are known in Griffin. Several of the men were heard to declare that if they had Mayor Hugeley of Barnesville, who saved Williams from being lynched when first captured by calling out the militia they would hang him by the negro’s side. Williams confessed to his captors before they swung him up. The sudden revival of mob _ violence against Wilkams is belleved by many to be directly traceable to the excitement follow- ing the sensational lynching of Dr. Ryder in Talbot County Monday night.

His Crime Was of a Heinous Charac- ter and Nearly Caused a Race Riot. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FLORENCE, Ala., July 22.—The negro Jim Speaks, about whom Riverton, Ala., has been on the verge of a revolution for three days, was taken from his guard at midnight and hanged. The hanging oc- curred between Riverton and the little town of Cherokee, 12 miles distant, but his body has not yet been found by the officers. The three officers who had started from Riverton at 8 o'clock last night had not gone three miles before they were over- taken by the mob of avengers. The negro was Tuewy strung up and the men re- turned to Riverton to guard that place against any possible violence by the ne- groes. Not one of the mob will tell where the negro’s body hangs, but it is freely ad- mitted that his punishment was speedy and sure, | MISS LYDIA POHLMANN’S BODY IN A PERFECT ARCH. SUFFERS WITH A RARE DISEASE | Has Hysteria Grandeaur and,Is Being Treated According to Dr. Fa- ber’s New Discovery. For many hours every day the body of Miss Lydia Pohlmann of 4513 North Nine- teenth street forms a perfect backward arch. She is suffering from the very rare disease called hysteria grandeaur, but it is thought she will recover. Miss Pohlmann is 16 years old, the daugh- ter of a farmer near Washington, Mo. She came here some time ago with her father for treatment, and is now staying with her brother-in-law, G. E. Steighorse. Miss Pohlmann’s trouble arose from nerv- ous debility, which gradually developed into the disease from which she now suf- fers.

NEW YORK, July 22.—Bar silver has de- clined to the lowest price in two years, and private dispatches from abroad received in Wall street are to the effect that the hold- ers of the white metal have “weakened.” Some of the bullion brokers assume that this means the silver pool which was formed abroad more than a year ago, is liquidat- ing its holdings. Other brokers were of the opinion that the holdings of the pool had been liquidated some time ago, and that the leasenedl demand for silver in the East, through the adoption of the gold standard by Japan, among other reasons, was Tre- sponsible for the decline, Outsiders gener- ally called attention to the fact that the recession In price came simultaneously with the announcement of the great gold dis- coveries in the Klondike region.

TRADE RATHER UNSETTLED. The Bulk of Business at Most Points Has Been Confined to the Domestic Trade, MINNEAPOLIS; Minn., July 22.—The Northwestern Miller gives the flour output last week at four centers as follows: Place.

The sales of Minneapolis mills proper approximated 330,000 barrels. This flour was largely sold to the domestic trade; buyers wanted flour, but at old prices. There were no very heavy purchases, the sales being usually made up of small orders. So far the strength of wheat has seemingly had little effect on the trade and procras- tination is its policy. Foreigners have not followed the advance as well as the domes- tic trade and therefore the exports have been quite limited. First clear seemed to be in better demand, and since local mills are pretty well sold ahead on this grade they are asking about lic advance, but this has checked trade. Second clear has been and sales abroad, particularly on the Con- tinent, have placed this product in a more healthy position. Red Dog has been worked to some extent on the Continent and has advanced about 60 cents a ton. Compared with a week ago, patent is about 4 cents a barrel higher. Export shipments of flour were 72,10 barrels, against 74,100 the week before, 97,600 in 1896, and 42,000 in 1895.

For the past week 40,000 barrels or less are likely to represent the production. The ad- vances in wheat last week largely cut off. The demand there was for flour and buyers were largely out of the market at prices millers had to ask. Export shipments last week were 14,800 barrels, against 7,200 the preceding week, 3,100 in 1896 and 16,500 in 18%. Millfeed is firm, with some mills out of the market.

A man from Rentchler reported how the men there had struck and gone to Mascou- tah and pulled out the men there, but some of them had gone back and he wanted a hundred men to go there and wet them out arn n. The meeting was held in the poe. radley had to borrow amp to read his notes by. The men slept in a West Main street hall. At 5 o'clock Thursday morning they were aroused, given a hasty breakfast and sent off in every direction, some going as far as Freeburg, to intercept the miners on their Way to work and bring them to the meeting.

He says he was struck on the head with a blunt in- strument by two men unknown to him. The police are working on the case, but have so far not learned who inflicted the injuries. McQueen is 38 years old and is a cook, He came from Chicago a few weeks ago. He is single. Dr. Sutter says McQueen is seriously injured, but will probably recover. According to the story McQueen tells he was sitting on a doorstep with a friend, Harry Mannering, at 2114 Franklin ave- nue, at 9 o'clock Wednesday night. They had been drinking beer, but neither was in- toxicated. An unknown man walked by and stopped as though to speak. McQueen spoke and the unknown replied with an oath. He cursed for a few minutes and went on by. In a few minutes he returned with a com- panion. They stopped and the unknown wanted to know why McQueen had insult- ed him a few minutes before. Before McQueen or Mannering could arise the two strangers assaulted them. One of the men struck McQueen on the head and knocked him senseless. Then the strangers ran. Mannering called for help and McQueen was taken to the hospital. Serget. Boyd of the Fourth Police District arrested John Finan, 1419 North Twenty- figst street Thursday afternoon. He denies having made any assault on McQueen. The yolice say, however, that they have a num- r of witnesses who saw the assault.

CHICAGO, July 22.—A shortage of coal has begun to make itself manifest in the Chicago market. The Chicago Sugar Re- finery, which uses 400 tons of bituminous coal daily, has suspended operations in view of the high prices of coal. Local coal men believe that the sugar refinery sus- pension is a forerunner of a number of sim- ilar cases where large consumers may at- tempt to replenish thelr stock. Gov. George E. Atkinson of Weet Vir- ginia, who is here attending the Logan day ceremonies, belleves the miners will eventually win tn the great coal strike. He says: “All the indications in West Virginia point to the’ success of the miners. I be- lieve the miners in my State will leave their work. They have nothing to complain cf, but are in sympathy with the suffering miners outside. So am I, and so is every- body else I know anything about. There are 2,000 miners !n the State, and, of course, it will take time to reach them all and perfect organization, but there ie no reason for the discouragement of the strikers.” FROM PIT TO PIT.

Mr. Edam of Galena is booked for Assistant Commireioner of Im- migration at Elile Island, and the Illinots Senators are vociferousiy demanding a half dozen more consulates before the arrival of the dog days.

DEATHS. Wm. Smith, a motorman on the Union De- pot Railway, was found unconscious at his home, 5416 Virginia avenue, Thursday morn- ing, the result of a self-administered dose of morphine. Family troubles are supposed to have caused his attempt on his life. Smith was at work Thureday. Friday morning he asked the superintendent to put another man on hs car, as he had some family matters he wanted to settle, He went home and from indications took the deadly drug shortly after reaching the house. Smith came to St. Louls from Florissant, Mo., about two years ago. Two weeks ago he had a difficulty with his wife. As he told the story to friends he went home one night and found a sojdier from Jefferson Barracks at his house. There was a scene and since then the p Smiths have lived apart. NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

Because the State Book Commission has called for new bids on the lower grades of books it does not necessarily follow that a better bargain will be se- cured for the State. Reports from Jefferson City of the jubllance of the trust agents over this move of the commission are significant of a construction of the call favorable to the trusts, Calling for new bids when the trusts- have failed to bid low enough, and when their competitors have shown their hands is sometimes a trust trick. It gives op- portunity for combinations and jobbery. The outcome will show if the refusal to award the contracts to the lower bid- ders of the State and the call for new bids mean a better bargain for the peo- ple. It may show something else. One effect of the move will be to in- crease the watchfulness of the people. Judgment waits on the results. _ OO Os The office shouldyseek the man. We know all about that. But what should be the rule in the case of Mary Ellen Lease and the governorship of Kansas? —_——_ ~~ THE MAYOR’S TEST. Mayor Ziegenhein’s friendship for the people, upon which he prides himself, will be put to a test when the North and South Street Rallway franchise grab comes before him for approval. From the standpoint of the people, not an argument can be urged in favor of this grant, but there are overwhelming arguments against It. 1. It was “jammed through” the Mun- icipal Assembly with disgraceful and ille- gal haste. 2. It was passed under circumstances which justify a moral oonviction of cor- ruption, 8. It is not merely a franchise grabbing, but a franchise jobbing grant. The ordi- nance specifically authorizes the sale of the franchise. 4. It delivers to “unknown” speculators 100 miles of track epace for a wretchedly inadequate return to the city. §. It turns over to the uses of the speo- ulators important streets in the bust- ness center in which business traffic would be destroyed by street car tracks. These are not all the objections to the bill, but they suffice to condemn it as a boodle Job. Which will the Mayor befriend—the people or the boodlers and franchise job- bers? _ — —— The City Council will take a vacation from August 2 to November 2. It is a long period of idleness, but, tn view of the Council's late performances, it is not long enough. _ —a THE RIVER AND THE JETTTES. The Eads jettles must be maintained, whether the work is done by a company or by the Government. The jetties are to serve as the gateway of the valley to the sea. They can be made to maintain a minimum depth of thirty feet, : Intelligent and persistent {mprovement of the upper river will contribute greatly to that result. —_———— ii —» —>_—_ We cannot say positively that the North and South Street Railway ordinance goes for nothing. The bank book of a city oficial is a sacred thing. ee GREASING THE FAT SOWS. Restoration of the personal fees of United States Consuls means the pay- ment of a. quarter of a million dollars an- nually to these officers, in addition to their salaries, by the business interests of this country. There are aixty-five consular posts which pay good salaries because of their importance as international trade ceyters, Bixteen of these, all located in Great Britain, ¢ 1 $125,000 in personal fees to consuls, the year before Secretary Olney abolished such fees. The consulate at London paid its incumbent $40,000 In ad- dition to his salary of $5,000. The Liver- pool consulate paid personal fees of $25,- G00 that year These fees are a tax on trade; a tariff levied on international commerce for the menet of individuals. The Government . édee not pay them. They are paid by busi- ness men whose business forces them into dealings with our consuls in foreign ports. In tariff legislation the tax is levied under the pretense of protecting labor. In the Departments all pretense is aban- doned and commerce is taxed for the avowed enrichment of high-salaried of- fice-holders. a Some of the Alaskan immigrants will not get enough gold to plate their small- est sins. ~ —i. ea ——— HOW TO PROTEST. The Oriental Theater should be packed with citizens at to-night’s meeting, which has been called for the purpose of protest- ing against the North and South Street Railway Job. But the action of the meeting should not Steps should be be limited to protests. taken to defend the city through the civil and criminal courts from this raid of jobbers and boodlers. There is good legal opinion to the effect that the bill was illegally passed by the Council. That it was corruptly passed there is scarcely room for doubt. therefore, should To-night’s meeting, appoint a strong committee, authorized to raise funds and to combat the bill, in the event of its becoming a law, in the civil court, to push the investigation of corruption in connection with the deal, and the prosecution of those involved in boodling. The only effective way to protect the people from boodle raids is to punish the boodlers and raiders. —— The De Brodt resolution to repeal the public drinking fountain ordinance may be due to a prejudice against water which some animals feel in the dog days. eit ST. LOUIS’ TRADE TERRITORY. The Golden Rule syndicate of retail merchants from the Rocky Mountain re- gion, whose interesting story and unique enterprise were told in Wednesday’s Post- Dispatch, is eloquent of two things. It shows the progressive and investigat- ing spirit of the Western business man, and his ability to adapt himself to new conditions. And jit proves the growth. of St. Louis In sections where, heretofore, Chicago has held a practical monopoly. St. Louis jobbers, in all lines, report a splendid outlook for the Fall trade. 8t. Louls can, and must, do more than hold her own. She can hold the Southwest against all comers. She can compete in the West and Northwest against any rival, _ — ee Spain wants to make trouble for Ameri- can Consul Madrigal.

In the return of the sheriff who levied on Mrs, Mary Ellen Lease’s home in Wichita, Mr. Lease was the only piece of property listed, and he was classed as “unsalable.” In what market did the sheriff find Mr. Lease of no value? The fact that Mr. Lease was the only piece of property found in Mrs. Lease’s home proves the falseness of the return. Mr. Lease is always at home, keeping house, cooking, sweeping and tending the baby while Mrs. Lease isabroad. Heisa self-eliminating and most convenient hus- band.

Twenty thousand words of special telegraph news was published, in addition to the full Associated Press service. The character and quality of the news was also of the best. New York’s Western Rival. ‘rom the New York Press. I have traveled considerably in the Bouth and Southwest, and wherever there was one New York traveling man there were two from St. Louls and three or four from Chicago. New York need fear no rivals except these two great distributing points. St. Louis is a remarkable city. She boasts of having the largest drug house in the United States, the largest wood and willow- ware house, the largest tobacco house, the largest hardware house, the largest brew- ery and the largest and finest surface cars. Chicago seems nearer to us than 8t. Louls. She is more ‘“‘come-atibus in swampo.” She is dangerous. She cannot ship goods to- ward the Equator fast enough by rail, and is going to open waterways to the Gulf, with trolley canal-boats traveling thirty-five miles an hour. ; Down With Book Prices. From the St. James Journal. ° The Post-Dispatch has demonstrated that prices of school books should not only come down, but that they should come down [ast and far. There ie no excuse for delay, and no reason for partial and gradual reduction. The reductions should be not only imme- diate, but sweeping. Present prices are 80 far above natural or honest level] that it will be difficult to use the knife too freely. Pure Men and Women. From a Sermon by Dr. Hancher.

Barnum’s mysteries, for the most part, have been solved. But the Druid Band from Stonehenge was never explained. It dropped upon the public from @ solUrce un- known, and disappeared, as it were, in the silence of the hight. The band was adver- tised as being made up from the lineal descendants of the Druids; pictures were dis- played represent- ing them as being of all sizes, from 18 inches to 6 feet. ’ They had big wind boxes with keys like a concertina, and various shaped horns were ar- ranged on either side. Al] thie time, while the band was being adver- tised, the inestru- ments were not even made. Barnum got hold of a young man named Silas ONE OF THE DRUID Brooks, and young BAND PLAYERS. Brooks worked on the Druid instruments for months at a sal- ary of $150 per month. The horns were common cattle and cow horns, scraped thin and highly polished, and were from three to eighteen inches in length. Barnum sent the Druids to young Brooks. The old show- man was careful that none of them should speak English, and to that end he engaged three Teutons. They practiced together for weeks. In the meantime “P. T.” had their costumes made and fthey were advertised to arrive from Wales on a certain day. The old showman sent them out on a boat. a ship picked them up as per arrangement, and the famous Druid Band was met at the pier by a curious throng and played that night to a crowded audience. FOR WIFE-BEATERS. In Baltimore the man who beats his wife gets a thrashing from the State by way of justice. He is tled up to the whipping post, where he exnpl- ates his partiali- ty for his favor- ite pastime. Mrs. BE, A. Robinson, Aa member of the jail board, de- sires that it be used more fre- quently. In cases where it has been tried it proved a Keeley cure for the old- est offenders. Delaware also has a whipping post, which a few gentle- men—evidently persons of leisure—are try- ing to abolish. KEEP LATE HOURS. A German doctor who has been collectin information about the habits of long-lived persons finds that the -majority of those who attained old age indulged in late hours. Eight out of ten persons over 80 never went to bed til] well into the’small hours and did not get up again till late in the day. AWN INFORMING DRINKING FOUN- TAIN.

To inventors and scientists we owe all the comforts and advantages of the present stage of civilization, yet how many brilliant ideas doubtless die with their possessors from the lack of a little encouragement and pecuniary support.

G. and J. L. Baker are two brothers who are now in business here as florists. They went to Alaska to hunt gold in 1591. They got enough experience for a lifetime, and will not go again. They crossed the Chileat Pasa, and in doing so had many hardships | and narrow escapes. “We were miles from timber,” said J. L. Raker, “and were compelled to keep mov- ing to avoid freezing. At the top of the | divide the sun never sets at that time of year. We were many hours on the march, robably more than a fuli day of twenty- our hours. There were many narrow es- capes from snowslides.

It would have meant death had any of our party been straggling behind; or, had we been ten minutes iu. crossing, the entire party would inevitably been swept thousands of fee! down have be- low and this tale of hardships in Alaska) would have never bees told. “I believe the angle from the timber line to the top of the divide is not less than 40 degrees. The Indians went ahead and broke the crust of the snow, forming a path for the rest of the party. A terrific wind was blowing against us all the way. The scen- ery was appalling. It was so cold that a man dared not stop moving long enough to etudy the grandeur of it. I am glad Il saw 4%. but I do not want to see it again. We were greatly in need of water to drink, it could not be obtained. We were not: lowed to eat snow. Final'y. we reached what appeared to be a lake in the crater of an extinct volcano... We had walked on it a short distance, when the Indians began to shovel away the snow, working like demons. I could not understand the mean. ing of their excitement for a moment, but in a very little while they had made an opening eight feet deep, out of which the Water seeped as from a spring. "There was no ice underneath the snow; HM had evidently been melted by heat from below. The outer crust of the snow was able to bear a heavy welght. There was not a living thing in nature :aere. We soon came to another lake, and thence the coun- try began to descend more rapidly. It was @ gradual descent, however, very different from that on the west side of *the divide. The trail led through a long canon, where the walking was very good. The cliffs were not more than [0 or 600 feet high. Under the crust of @now we could hear a Toaring sound, like the rushing of water over boulders. A spring freshet was rag- ing along its course under our feet.”’ “IT had a better view of that freshet than any one else in the party,’ interrupted J. G. Baker, who-had been listen'ng to his brother's weeey and occasionally making a Suggestion. “We had gone some distance Gown the canon when one of the men fell through the snow’'s crust. ‘Get on the Shady asalide of the canon,’ shouted some one, and I hastily started for the shade.” “We had been walking in the sun because it was possibly warmer. I made hasie tu get over to the edge of the canyon too en- ergetically and sank to my armpits in the snow, and was barely able to bear up my weight by extending my arms out over th: crust about me. The snow was so deep my feet dangled without support. Gradually the opening made by my body enlarged, and I could see the water rushing in mad rage three or four feet beneath my boot soles, ca ing with it boulders as large as a bar- rel, It was an appalling moment.,The men threw me a rope, which I carefully fastened under my arms, and cautiously lifted up my weight with my hands on the crust of the anow, and after a few minutes, which seemed to me to be hours, succeeded in get- ting out, I crept on my hands and knecs to tho shady side of the canon. In the mean- time the man who had fallen through the snow just before me had also gotten out. and we proceeded without further Incident through the canon, which gradually wid- ened as we proceeded and finally disap- ace In a plain, “From here we could see a large lake in the distance, which we were told was the headwaters of the Yukon. When we reached it the Indians left us. We thought we were about to have trouble with them. They were worn out by the hard trip and in an ugly mood. One Indian had contract- ed to carry a sled over the divide for $7.59, but refused to turn it over unless paid $15. 6 would not pay it and the Indlans took hold of the sled and threatened to make trouble.

Bristol of Brook- lyn, and Charles Edelman, a civil and min- emvineer of this city. In addition to scientific and gastronomical supplies fur- nished pro rata each man will put $1,230 into a common fund, Every detail has been oaarefully arranged and all that re- maing to be done is to engage passage on the Pacific coast steamship, Queen, which will sail from San Francisco Aug. 7. ‘This will be attended to by Judge Curtis, who is in the metropolis of California on legal business. The gold seekers consider them- selves fortunate to obtain his aid, as owing to the proposed great exodus it ts no easy matter to secure good berths on the coast steamers, All supplies will be purchased at San Francisco and the party will leave the Queen at Juneau and go overland to the Klondike district. Each member will be supplied with an abundance of heavy foot- wear, underclothing, sweaters and fur caps and the material to make the necessary re- airs. ' Speaking to a reporter one of the members of tire party said: ‘There is one thing In favor of the Yukon district and that is the abundant supply of fresh fish. We will have plenty of on he tackle and every article necessary to tablish a comfortable home. Dr. ba will look after our physical welfare. Clark took a pharmacis ound the doctor's es- wards Dr, tdegree and can com- prescriptions. We will ave the best equipment experience can suggest and we shall be well supplied with weapons to use in self-defense if necessary.”’ Dr. Kdwards, who bas visited Alaska, has prepared a list of meats and saccharine and farinaceous food products, together with fresh and dried fruits and pickles. To this will be added coffee, chocolate, spices, etc., and the supply is based on a total of seventy ounces ef food for each man daily. “This amount,’ said Dr. Edwards, ‘may be reasonably assured as to quantity neces- to the maintenance of man’s perfect th in @ latitude such as ihe Guxon. We intend to take along a good supply of spirituous Hquors, as they will be of great value there. “During the long dark nights in winter we will amuse ourselves with cards, chess, checkers, backgammon and other popusar indoor games, and if we wanta little we will use our banjos and mandolins. last, but not least, we will have kodaks to enable us to furnish friends at home with scenes of the gold fields.” Each of the party is in excellent nd confident of success. aw.

He does not believe the trading companies can begin to supply the demand which will be made on them. Price thinks the men who take up horses to cross the pass from Dyea will do well. They can get their provisions in easily that way and sell the horses for dog meat after- wards. He also advises newcomers to look for claims on other creeks besides the trib- utaries of the Klondike, the latter being pretty well staked out. Stewart River creeks promise as well as the Klondike. He says further that gambling dens and dance-houses have already opened in Daw- Games of every description are run- and some of the miners play heavily.

Ladue went to the Black Hills and was successful, but before coming East to claim his bride he went into a speculation at Deadwood and lost every dollar he pos- sessed. Ladue then went to Alaska. Now Ladue is said to be a mill'onaire, and the parents of the bride will offer no ob- jections to the union, and it 1s possible that Mr. and Mrs. Ladue will spend the'r‘honrey- moon on their way to the gold flelds, where they intend to Hve for at least three years. It is believed that the ceremony will be performed in the church at Schuyler Falls next week. NOTABLE PASSENGERS. Ex-Gov. McGraw and Other Distin- guished Men Off for the North.

TANNER, JUDGE BLODGETT AND GEO. R. PECK THE OR- ATORS OF THE OCCASION. Naval Review and Parade on Land Led by the Survivors of the Com- mander’s Old Regiment. CHICAGO, July 22.—The John A. Logan monument in Lake Front Park was dedi- cated with much pomp to-day. A few min- utes past 1 o’clock John A. Iowan III., the S-year-old grandson of the General, pulled the silken cord which parted the veils con- cealing the magnificent likeness of the sol- Aier as he rallied the broken ranks of the Federal troops and led them on to victory before the city of Atlanta, July 22, 1864. The booming of guns, cheers of men and waving of flags proclaimed the event. Crowds began assembling along Michigan avenue at an early hour this morning, an- ticipating the crush which was to follow, and proceeded to establish themselves in po- gition for a day of sightseeing. Review!ng stands lined the broad thoroughfare facing the monument. Window space was at @ pre- mium. At 1 o’clock, the hour set for the un- velling, drew near, the jam became almost unbearable. But police precautions wore timely and the crowds good-natured. The work of the committees in charge of the dedication was perfect. The immense body of troops was handled withouta hitch. President McKinley was unable to leave Washineton, but the Government was well represented by Secretary of War Russell A, Alger. Shortly before 1 o'clock the reviewing stand at the monument began filling with Gistinguished personages. Seats were pro- vided for 6,009. Gov. Tanner and eu! Seoficld and suite of Wisconsin, Gov. Mount and suit of Indiana and Gov. Holoomb and staff of Nebraska were among the first.to enter, following immediately efter the PTe- sentation’ Committee. Secretary of War Alger and Judes of the Supreme and Cir- cult Courts ceme next, escorted by Chatr- man W. TH. Harper of the Executive Com- mittee and George R. Peck, the orator of the day.

Again the ariillery salute rent tho alr as the United States band Recs up the stirring “Battle Scenes of the iWar.”’ Gov, John R, Tanner, in a short speech, accepted the monument on behalf of I)i nols, In accepting the monument the Governor id: eA iost giadiy do I, as the humble repre- entative of this commonwealth, accept, in ehalf of the people, this monument to the ~ poe of one of Illinois’ most beloved and gifted sons, I will tell you briefly, fellow-citizens, what I think this occasion and this demon- etration really mean. They mean that John A. ogan is, in the public mjnd, the very embodiment of the militant patriotism of the United States; that he Is, and will ever ba, to the people the greatest of the volunteers in the cauge of nationality and liberty; the pre-eminent citizen-soldier, the representative, above all others, of the voi- unteers who fought and conquered in the ranke for the un'on cause. Wherever danger threatened or duty called this gallant man of the people was-at the front, treading always the path to honor and to giory. In no man was the spirit of American patriotism ever more nearly incarnate than ir Ifgan. He was of herole mold. He brought to the cause he espoused a cool head, but a hot and impatient heart No man with such furious impulses as he pos*eesed ever com- bined with them as he did the cool intellect to dire *t h 5 SOUT Se dom. He possessed that re it bas been eald, ‘‘tazes 1) Strikes like the thunderbolt.” When Loran ca Union, he broveht of this State who l in land of doubt and distrwet.

The parade and review fo'- lowed, the troops falling in line on Twelfth street, at the command of Grand Marshal Gen. Brooke of the Department of the Mis- sourl, marched north on Michigan avenue past the reviewing stand. Over 20,000 men were in line, headed by a squad of police on foot. The survivors of Gen. Logan's old regiment, the Sist Illinols Volunteers, led the van, proudly bearing the old regimental flag, tattered and torn by 2” Confederate bullets. Then came the grizzled veterans of the G. A. R.. with bared heads in honor of their first and idolized commander-in- chief. With the veterans marched the ex- Confederates 200 strong. The appearance of the veterans of the gray was a touching tribute to the man they met in battle on the bloody field of Atlanta. Behind the Southerners marched with easy swing 2,600 regulars, the largest num- ber seen together in the West since the civil war. Every branch of the service was represented, including eight troops of cav- alry. The Governors of States with their staffs followed and then came the Illinois National Guard, 7,000 strong, under com- mand of Gov. Tanner as Command(der-in- Chief. Knights Templar and Knights of Pythias followed to the number of 1,500. The rear was brought up by 1,200 Chicago mal] carriers and $8,200 untformed detachments of various civic societies not bearing arms. The parade was over two hours in passing the reviewing etand. The pageant on land was supplemented by the finest marine display ever seen on Lake Michigan. Grouped around the revenue cut- ters Gresham, Fessenden and Calumet, which were anchored just off the monu- ment, were nearly 200 vessels of the mer- chant marine and private yachts all gaily decorated for the occasion. This evening a publia reception will be held at the Coliseum for Mrs. Logan and other distinguished guests. The reception will be preceded by a gorgeous display of fireworks in the Coliseum Gardens. The statue was designed by St. Gaudens and is the largest equestrian statue in America. The figure o¥ Gen, Logan as it stands on its granite pedestal !s dressed in the uniform of a Major-General. He sits erect and bareheaded, with his left hand ate ey the bridie rein, while with hig right vand he beare aloft the flag.

Twenty Prisoners at the Brooklyn In- stitution Have Recently Lost Their Reason. ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKING OF THE ANTI-CONVICT LABOR LAW. Vivid Description of the Effect on Men ; of the Absolute Lack cf ' Occupation. Bpectal to the Post-Diepatch. NEW YORK, July 22.—Since the anti- convict labor law went into operation on January 1 twenty prisoners in the King’s County (Brooklyn) penitentiary have lost thelr reason. This frightful condition of affairs thrusts the entire convict labor ques- tion to the fore in a most unhappy manner and makes the suffering of these unfortu- nates of national interest. Other States have enacted like laws against convict-made goods and the possible results in other pen- itentiaries become an interesting subject. A thing that gives additional interest to the affliction of the mep in the Brooklyn peni- tentiary is the fact that the Federa! pris- oners from Missour!l and other Western States are confined there. Madness began to assert itself in Brook! yn enitentiary without anything to attract ublic attention. It gathered in the victims one at a time until last week. athens nine convicts, under the dull torture of enforced idieness, went suddenly mad. Five of these un fortun ate men were re- Moved yesterday from the penitentiary to the State Asylum at Matteawan. The re maining four Will probably be disposed of to-day.

Those wel] informed of the subject say that Chaney is innocent that his brother was the law-breaker and that “Kid” ‘Wilson has so admitted in the presence of witnesses. 3 The prison authorities believe firmly tn his innocence, yet a recent appeal in h's beha. i was ignored by the Department of Justice at Washington.

HAS A STRONG PULL. CONVICT ESCAPES THE WORK- HOUSE THROUGH POLITICS. A CITY ATTORNEY HIS FRIEND. With the Prosecutor Burgess Intercedes Judge Peabddy and Secures Release of a Robber. Oscar Spriggs, the 17-year-old negro who fined $100 Wednesday by Judge Pea- for complicity in the assault and rob- bery in which Mrs. J. O. Morris was the victim, will-not sojourn in Nick Karr’s whitewashed hotel on the Mississippi until his fine ts worked out, nor wll the fine be paid. Oscar, or rather Oscar's father, is well Known in political circles, pull, and that saved him from punishment. As- sistant City Attorney Burgess of Caronde.- let, who is supposed to prosecute, is Oscar's vA as hody has a savior. Last Monday afternoon two negroes, one of whom was Spriggs, pounced upon Mrs. Morris on Whittier, between Delmar and Pendleton avenues, and whale one of them choked and threatened to kill her, the other wre neched her purse from her grasp. Both escaped at the time, but Spriggs was _— r- ward arrested and identified by the vict As soon as the arrest was made Leen, to the young man’s father, the latter eought his fr'end in politics, Assistant City Attor- ney Burgess, the colored barrister in the Carondelet Policé Court. Mrs. Morris was seen and both the father and he friend entreated her not to send the boy to the penitentiary. Mrs. Morris was loath to “let up” on the man who had so brutally choked her, but in the goodness of her heart she eventually ondescended not to swear out a warrant aga'nst young Spriggs. But this was on the ‘-andition that Spriggs should reveal the name of his confederate, who secured the purse, and who, it is claimed, has done similar jobs in the Weat End rece ntly. Even after receiv’ng information as to the accomplice’s identity the police were quite loth to let young Spriggs go free. After much thought it was decided that the prisoner could be sent to the police court and would be fined heav'ly enough to keep him in the Work-house for a year. The charge of disturbing the peace held good and Ju ige Peabody gave the defend- ant the maximum fine, and thought the Work-house too good a place for him. When the time came, however, to transfer Spriggs to the Workhouse, with other offenders, As- sistant Attorney Burgess dropped in upon Judge Peabody and requested that the fine be stayed and the young man given hours to leave the city. Mr. Burgess explained that he was well acquainted with the father of Spriggs and spoke of him as an exceptionally intelligent and industrious man, The boy had never been arrested before and had got into this trouble through his association with the confederate now at large. He had complied w'th Mrs. Morris’ request, Mr. Burgess said, by giving the police the name of his pal in the robbery, and had promised to re- form. If the Judge would but stay the fine Oscar would be sent into the country. fine re- mitted through the Mayor's office, but upon Mr. Burgess expressing a fear that the boy would get into the Tork-hougse before a that Oscar should be out of St. Louis after Peabody, when asked about the said that Mr. Burgess is an upon his statement of the was entitied to The police, of course, do not look favor- Y.

Now to “St. Louls {ie my home and the greatest base ball city in the West,”’ said Scrappy Joyce of the New York Giants last night just before the departure of that team. “But,”’ he added, “‘she is out of it Just now and no misiake.”’ “What can we do to be saved?” some one asked, and Scrappy replied: “I don’t suppose Vondy would thank me for any euggestions I have to make on that score."’ “But the people here who are fond of the game would.”’ “They might, and then again they mighin't. Some of you newspaper fellows have misquoted me in times past and have got me in trouble. As a matter of fact, this is my home and nothing would please me better than to see you have a first-ciacseé team.”’ how can we get one?’ “There, again, you want to get me in trouble. My opinion is no better than an- other's, and by giving it I may offend Vou, dy. He may th.nk, you know, that I am pry-ng into his bus.ness." “Simply then as a St. Louis boy, one who Wants to see his native city well represented on the dlamond, what can we do to get a g000d team here again?” “Good teams are not built up in a day,” gaid Joyce. “It will be a very long while before you will see a team here the equal of the old Browns. Contrary to general opinion, I believe there ts much good Mmi- terial in the present Lrowns, To hold their Own in this league, however, they need con- Siderable strengthening. I[f 1 were given hold of the team to-morrow I would look @round for two first-class pitchers to strengthen that department and for a firet- class batsman to cover first base. I would put Grady behind the bat and keep him there with Murphy. Then with all hands playing ball 1 would look for the team to give a good account of itself.” “St. Louis will have to rest content with her ball team,” said Ted Sullivan, who once managed the St. Louis Krowns and Ma- roons. “It takes time to build up a first- class team. Look at Ned Hanlon. He wor- ried with Baltimore for nearly five years before getting a winning combination: to- gether, St. Louls’ only hope just now is for the tranefer of some first-class team to this city. it would have been lucky for you had the Clevelands came here.

A Mmass-meeting held at the Lindell Hotel raised the funds to bring them back to life. There were two clubs in the field here then.

Eddie another ex-manager of the St. Browns was asked, “I can't anawer that question as well now as I could have answered it twenty years ago,” said the veteran. “About that time Al Spalding wanted a team for Boston, and picking out the cream of the Cincinnatl Club he transferred {t to the Hub, and gave that city an organization that while itt Tasted was invincible. You can’t do that Gort of thing nowadays, Every professional] club in this country, big and Ittle, is oper- ating under the National agreement. Even with funds, therefore, it is next to impos- sible to obtain the sort of material necded by a club in the position the Browns are in to-day. Joyce speaks by the card when he says St. Louls is the base bali citv of the West. he record proves that.

Give them a good club and they will fill the bleachers and the grand stand for Vondy just as they used to do.” r A LIVELY TURF WAR ‘Te LO May Follow Wednesday’s Meeting of the Turf Congress at Cincinnati. The meeting of the Turf Congrees held at Cincinnati Wednesday was perhaps the most important ever held by that body. For the first time in ita history the Congres took hold of that bete aah, that Somnonn) gence known as the foreign book, and wiped it from the face of the earth. After Aug.’ 1 any Turf Congress track allowing a for- eign book on ite premises will be outlawed. his rule is a blow at the Harlem. New- — and New Orleans tracks, where fore!gn ooks have been operated. The blow was especially almed at Harlem, for a foreizn book has been on at that track ever s'nce te opening a few days ago. The blow a: farlem shows earmarke of the fine Italian hand of Xd Corrigan, who is the ruling pirit in the Turf Congress, and who stil] ms it tn for the Hankins-Conden confed- eracy, Who are at present in contro] of the Hariem Association. The blow, too, hit the Newport track, opposite Cincinnati, a hard crack, ag the, foreign book there has since ite opening been its strong drawing card. How the Harlem-Newport people will ac- cept this latest ruling of the Turf Congress femains to be geen, There was talk last fall of Newport quitting the Turf Congress Tann'ng in the winter and outlawing ite 1f. Now that the track is debarred the privilege of operating a fore!gn book its managers may sure enough join the ovtlaw ranks. Harlem, too, might follow a similar course and in that event a new assoc'ation alto- ether might be formed, with the Harlem, fewport and New Orleans associations ag Qa aan BEFORE lumps formed on my neck, and a horrible ulcer broke out on my jaw,—says Mr. QO.

Ae if to serve notice and with @ further view of aig ey | the track owners named from jo'ning in any new movement, the Turf Congress leaders yesterday pro- mulgated a new rule, which reads: , “The get of horses and the wg O mares which are outlawed or ruled off the turf will not be eligible to race on Turf Congress tracks.”’ In other words, thie of more horses, the cutt number of that class and making of It more difficult than ever to operate a so-called outlaw track. Nothing short of a general uprising on the part of the tracks named will lift them out of the present trouble, and that uprising may be looked for this fall, when the regular racing season will be over, and when the Newport management may desire to run a winter meet ng with foreign book attachment, as they talked of doing last fall. That would probably be the first gun fired, and then would follow war all along the line.

All ‘the preliminary arrangements for the holding of the big midsummer race meet of the Associated Cycling Clubs on the Pastime track on Saturday have been completed. Over 55 racing men have entered and the racing will be sharp and decisive. The ar- ray of prizes is a dazzling. one. Special con- ditions will govern the award of prizes. The most important are that at least five men must start in each race, and every competi- tor in cach race must “‘show’’ at the front at least once. This, with the time limits, will insure fast time, and as the track has proven conclusively that it is very fast, some record breaking may be in prospect. This meet is not to be confounded with the private affairs that have been held on the Pastime track lately by promoters who looked to their individual profits. It is held by the Associated Cycling Clubs and they deserve to rece!ve the support of the cyclists and weneral public for their push and enter- prise in leasing and maintaining the oniy cycle race track in St, Louis. The Latest About the Little-I-Am Case. In yesterday’s Times-Star Domino had this to say about the Little-I-Am case: “There is probably little foundation in the statement that Fred Hazenfeld, the Nor- wood man ruled off at 6t. Louis for connec- tion with the Little-l-Am ringing case, will make trouble for Oakley under the anti- gainbling laws. Hazenfeld is in a ticklish sition. “Ringing’’ is a penitentiary of- lense in Missouri, and the Norwood man is fortunate to escape without any entangle- ment with Missouri laws and oflicers. Penil- tentiary offenses are extraditable, and any undue antagonism to Oakley on the-part of Hazenfeld might be resented by the Sheriff of St. Louls City applying to Gov. Bushnell for a requisition. A representative of the St. Louls track is in the city attending the Turf Congress meeting, and he might sud- denly take into his head to squelch Hazen- fela if he has not sense enough to know when he is well off.’’ Mrs. Langtry’s Horse Won. LONDON, July 22.—At the second day’s racing of the Liverpool July meeting to- day, Mr. Jersey’s (Mrs. Langtry’s) chest- nut colt Brayhead won the Liverpool] Cup.

DIXON AND HAWKINS MEET AT SAN FRANCISCO TO-MORROW. A.GOOD FIGHT LOOKED FOR. KID GLEASON DESCRIBES THE SHARKEY-MAHER FIGHT, There an Was Agreement Not to Mix the First Few Rounds. The big fellows of the pugtlistic world are all taking things easy just now. Jim Corbett Is laying low. Choynski is keeping very quiet, while Fitz- simmons, the real champion, is sawing wood out on his farm and saying nothing. The fights between Sharkey and Maher and McCoy and Creedon are still far off. To-morrow night, however, there promises to be a battle royal between George Dixon and Dal Hawkins, the California boy. Dixon and Hawkins are just now the two real bantams of the prize ring. «Hawkins has been using Martin Flaherty, Dixon's old opponent, as a trial horse. Dix- on fought three draws with Flaherty and Hawkins knocked the latter out in 64 6ec- onds., On these performances Hawkins’ friends look for him to defeat Dixon.

He Refuses to Say Why He Left Her and His Two-Weeks- Old Baby. | Mrs. Lucille Grant, who fainted while on a Lindell Railway car, and was taken to the City Hospital, is now at her father’s home, 2117 Oregon avenue. She told her story to a Post-Dispatch re- porter. She didn’t mean to tell it, and in the course of an hour’s talk frequently reiterated that she had nothing to say. If Mr. James Randolph Grant, her recreant husband, desired to make a statement he might do so, but she wouldn't, especially as she was suing him for a divorce. She didn’t mind telling that she still loved Mr. Grant, though she was plaintiff in a suit for non-support. She might forgive him, but she couldn't forget how he had left her on a sick bed when her baby was only fifteen days old. I met Mr. Grant less than two years ago,”’ she said. “I was then a saleslady at the Grand Leader and my name was Lu- cille Kaufman. Our meetings were without the knowledge of Mr. Grant's family. “He did not tell them that we were to be married until ten days before the wed- ding. He is a Gentile and I am a Jewess, yet his family made no open objection to the marriage. “Randolph rented a flat at 2118A Oregon avenue, and father and I moved into it be- fore the wedding. We were married in the parlor of the flat on September 15, 1896. = igs | after our marriage Randolph took sick. He had been to Hot Springs for awhile before the wedding. ‘Dr. Bernays attended him and though Randolph was making a good aalety as ticket salesman for Claude & Schubach nearly all of our money went to pay doc- tor bills. My father is an invalid and so is one of Randolph's gisters. Before our marriage Randolph paid this sister’s doctor bills. When we went to housekeeping he could not afford to do this. I think his sense of his duty to this sister had much to do with his desertion of me. “Our baby was born last March. When she was 15 days old Randolph came to my bedside and told me he was going to leave me and I would have to shift for myself. I thought he was joking and re- garded the threat lightly. In the next few days he often spoke of his sick sister and how much she needed help from him. The following Friday he kissed me good-by and sail he was going. I had worked nine years to support an invalid father and I understood his devotion to his sister, but I told him the should never have taken a wife unless he was prepared to support her. “He went away and I have seen him only once since. That was when I humbled my- self and went to his office to ask for money for the baby. He refused to give it to me and when I bought some goods and charged them to him he tried to have me arreste for obtaining property under false pre- tenses. “Since he deserted me I have been trying to support myself and my three-months-old baby by selling fancy work of my own mak- ing. I have never been strong and was sick when I started out yesterday. I only know that I fainted. I do not remember telling my husband’s name. I was told afiter- wards that he was sent for, but refused to come to my assistance and said he didn't care what became of me. I hardly believe he could have said that.’’ Mrs. Grant says the physician who at- tended her during her illness and who is now physician for the Grant family was on the car when she fainted, but refused to assist her. James R. Grant lives at 2645 Eads avenue. He was seen at Claude & Schubach’s ticket office. “TI have no statement to make,” he sald. “T amin such a position that I.can’t afford to say anything.” He refused to confirm or deny the state- ment that he had refused to go to his wife’s assistance Wednesday.

James Bellew, a Bicyclist, Savagely Attacked by the Drove of Vicious Canines. Bicycle riders in the wilds of Forest Park take a risk it will freeze their blood to con- template when they realize the dangers they daily encounter in the secluded western sec- tion of the park. For months past the park keepers and mounted police have known that far up in the wilderness was a drove of ferocious dogs—mastiffs—that seldom ventured from their cavern home except in the night, to look for carrion. Only early in the morning and at night members of this wild gang of Canines were seen. They darted from the sight of man like wolves in a canebrake. The identity of the dogs excited the curiosity of the pes keepers, and they have vainly sought to unravel the mys- tery. Time and again, before sunrise and late at night, have watchmen seen a drove of six ferocious mastiffs trailing close in the tracks of a lean and slender mastiff that seemed to watch both sides of the trail from her keen eyes. This was the mother of six pups that had been littered in a se- cluded spot of the park, and they have never known human care. This drove of wild dogs, led by the in- trepid and watchful mother, have grown bolder day by day, and now they are a menace to people either a-foot or a-wheel in the park. An incident, or rather encounter, which occurred Thursday morning, has caused Park Commissioner Ridgely to call on Capt. Campbell to prepare his men for a en dog hunt Thursday night and early Friday morning. The first man to encounter the vicioue canine bandits was James Bellew of Skink- er and Barnum road, who was pass.ng through the “wilderness” about 7 o’clock Thursday morning on his wheel. Along a path so deeply shaded that the sun was shut out, he suddenly came upon a pack of seven big, black mastiffs, tearing to pieces the carcasses of a cat and rabbit. The dogs were at the path’s edge, and 60 noiselessly did Bellew run _ alongside of them that, either from hunger or the des- peration of fright, they turned upon him, One big mastiff clutched its teeth in his bicycle trousers and another sunk ite short teeth in the calf of his leg. The whole pack was growling and snap- ping at his heels. Realizing the desperation of his situation he bent all his strength and skill to the pedals and redoubled his speed, the vicious pack hard upon him. For a quarter of a mile the chase lasted when he outd'stanced his savage pursuers and got away with painful reminders of his ex- perience, He reported the matter to Assist- ant Park Commissioner Haas.

The two men were | beating and kicking him when Kleinschmidt, the lunch man, took a hand in the fight. In the indiscriminate mix-up that followed a billy and a knife, or other sharp instru- ment, were used. Kelly was badly beaten about the head and received a deep flesh wound in the small of the back. Pemberton’s head and face were cut and bruised where the billy and the heels of his assailants landed. The other two men aleo showed marks of severe punishment when the fighters were sep- arated by spectators attracted to the scene by the cries of the woman. A riot call had been sent in to the Four Courts, and a patrol wagon with several «f- ficers were dispatched to the scene. Consid- erable difficulty was experienced by the po- lice in learning the details of the trouble.

SAMUEL COBB AND THE MISTRO BROS. ARE AMONG THE HEAVY PURCHASERS. Local Wholesalers Are Holding Their Own Against an Army of Out- of-Town Salesmen,. - St. Louis wholesale houses are doing a volume of business that should squelch the shriek of calamity howlers. Supplemental! to the regular trade brought in by traveling representatives, merchants from all parts of the South and West are here to buy. And the trade is not Mmited to the South and West—territory that ts naturally tributary to St. Louls. There is a gratifying mercantile representation from States as far East as Indiana and in the South as far as the Atlantic seaboard. The greater part of the hotel arrivals these midsummer days are merchants from inland towns. They enjoy a trip to St. Louis and prefer to make personal inspec- tion of their purchases. The Golden Rule Syndicate of mercantile buyers, the story of which was told in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch, is a busy body of men. Within an hour after they arrived at the Lindell the hotel rotunda was thronged with salesmen. Members of the syndicate are here to trade and every salesman who calls is given @ hearing. BRAKEMAN SHOT BY A TRAM a — DESPERATE BATTLE ON BOARD A LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE PASSENGER TRAIN. Vicious Tramp Seeks Revenge Because He Was Made to Pay Fare. BRAKEMAN CHARLES CROWDER OF ST. LOUIS SHOT AND SE- RIOUSLY WOUNDED. Charles Campbell, the Tramp, Sent a Bullet Into the Brake- man’s Throat. . Charles Crow4er, a Louisville & Nashville brakeman, of this city, fought a desperate battle on “board his train at Henderson, Ky., Wednesday at midnight. Charles Campbell, said to be a tramp and All-around tough character, was Crowder’s opponent. As a result of the fight, Crowder is ser- lously wounded—shot through the throat, the bullet lodging in the right shoulder. Crowder arrived in St. Louls Thursday morning. He was conveyed to his home at 20089 Eugenia street. His condition is criti- Cal, yet there is hope for recovery. Campbell is under arrest at Henderson. Crowder'’s version of the affair is. that Campbell boarded his train at Madisonville, Ky., Wednesday night to beat his way to St. Louls. Crowder discovered him sitting on the steps just as the train pulled out of Madisonville, and ordered him off. Camp- bell refused, but was finally ejected. He climbed on again, entered the train and paid Conductor Albin fare to Henderon. Crowder walked by Campbell in the smok- ing car and as the train entered Henderson, OWIET LYNCHING JOHN FIELD RESCUED BY COUNTY OFFICERS IN TIME TO SAVE HIS NECK. Who Were Picking Black- berries. DAUGHTERS OF MRS. ANNA MAUER, OPPOSITE ST. PETER’S CEMETERY. Angry Neighbors Thought His Inten- tions Were Evil and Attempted to Hang Him. John Field, a young white man, narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a mob in the western suburbs Thursday morning. He was only saved from being strung up to a tree in St. Peter’s Cemetery by the presence of mind of a Suburban Railway conductor and the arrival of a Deputy Sheriff from Clayton, who took him from the mob and locked him up in jadl at the county seat. Whether guilty or not, the mob thought that Field was guilty of a criminal assault upon one of the three little daughters of Mrs. Anna Mauer, who lives in a little house with a pretty garden around it opposite the cemetery, which is just on the city imits between Baston avenue and the Natural Bridge road. The little Mauer girls, ranging from 9§$ to 15 years, were out in the garden picking blackberries when they saw the man get off one of the Easton avenue extension cars and come toward them. They did not pay much attention to him until he got near enough to make himself heard. Then he 0. D. FISHER. (Buyer Mercantile Cordz-Fish er Lumber Co., Birth Tree, Mo.; two stores.) Wyo.)

He has eleven siores in eleven of the most thrifty towns in Texas. He lives at Denton’‘and the Main store is located there. The volume of trade brought to St. Louis by Mr. Graham is enormous. There is a nice little story of how Mr. Graham made his fortune. Many years ago he established a store at Denton. Trade Was good and he employed a large force of clerks.

Several guests of the hotel nar- rowly escaped being injured, — began making, according to thefr accounts, insulting propositions to them, which they did not at first understand. When they realized what the man meant they screamed and ran toward the house as fast as they could go. The man ran after them, and it is claimed by some that he caught one of the children and attempted to assault her. A mob gathered in a few moments and all kinds of stories flew about as to what the man had done and what he had not done. The crowd was satisfied that he was guilty of some sort of anoutrage and pro- posed to settle the question by stringing him up without further ado. The prisoner was pushed and hauled about considerably while the crowd was prepar- ing to lynch him, but lacking an energetic their actions were somewhat slow. A Suburban Railway conductor paseing that a mob was about to lynch a man on the Hunt road, near St. Peter’s Cemetery. A deputy sheriff was sent in from Clayton as fast as he could travel, and arrived just in time to save Field from be!ng etrung up by the mob, which had by this time grown to very large proportions. The Sheriff had some difficulty in getting the prisoner away from the crowd, but he finally succeeded in doing so with the as- sistance of some of the more peaceably dis- posed of the mob. Field is now in the jail at Clayton await- ing developments. He protests that he is innocent, and was merely crossing by the garden when the little girls took filght and began to scream.

History of a Famous Suit That Grew Out of With the Police. a Former Collision Lou McGinnis, the attorney, was arrested Wednesday afternoon in a room on the third floor of the building at 511 Pine street, by Detectives Hatton, Kelly and Williams, on a charge of playing poker. There were eleven other men in the room with McGin- nis at the time, and all these were arrested on a similar charge. When the eisecner reached the Four Courts with his fellow prisoners, he was more fortunate in securing his release on bail than on a similar occasion in 1892, when he was arrested on the same charge. The sergeant in charge of the office Wednesday agreed to release the men on bond, and with- in a few moments after they had been en- tered on the records, they were all at liberty. In the fall of 1892 Attorney McGinnis was arrested, with several other men, in a room over James Harrison's saloon, opposite the old City Hall, by Detectives Scully and Kelly. Oscar Raymond, one of the men arrested in the raid Wednesday, was also arrested with MoGinnis on the previous oc- casion. When McGinnis was arrested in 1882 he protested his innocence of the charge against him, and asked to be released on bond. His request was refused by the Ser- eant in charge, who placed him “in the oldover,”’ which means that he was con- fined in the calaboose, held without bail. The attorney objected vigorously to this ac- tion, and offered the Sergeant his choice of five qualified bondsmen, in addition to offer- ing a cash coHateral, for his appearance in court next day. For some reason best known to the Police Departinent these offers of bail were refused in McGinnis’ case, and he was held for fif- teen hours. This action on the part of the authorities precipitated a damage suit against the Police Department. Vhen the attorney was finally admitted to ball, at 9 o’clock the following morning, his bond was signed by one of the men who had been refused as security the previous night. After his release McGinnis himself secured the release of another prisoner on bond, furnishing as security the cash col- lateral which the Sergeant had refused to accept in his own case. This action on the pe of the Police De- partment had a peculiar look to the attor- ney, and when the case against him was dismised without prosecution, over his vig- orous protest, he concluded that his arrest was due to a epirit of malice on the part of the police. He accordingly instituted a suit for $15,000 damages for malicious im- prisonment, naming as defendants the Chief of Police, the Chief of Detectives, their ae- sistants and each individual member of the department in any way concerned. The subsequent litigation, with the sensa- yy the attorney, made this one of the most celebrated cases in the history of the depariment. McGinnis declared that his arrest and the refusal to accept bond for him was due to the fact that he had at one time prosecuted De- tective o> A for the illegal arrest of a man named Meyer. Jeff Storts, the attorney, was a witness for McGinnis. The damage suit, after innumerable con- tinuances and delays; was finally tried at Hillsboro on a change of venue, resulting in a mistrial. The second trial resulted similar- ly, and McGinnis and his friends made open charges that efforts had been made by the police officials to so influence sentiment in the county where the case was tried as to preclude the plaintiff securing a fair trial. The third trial of the case, which was had last September, resulted in a verdict against McGinnis. The names of the prisoners arrested in Wednesday's raid are: Lou McGinnis, Oscar Raymond, Frank Carson, Fred _ Rivers, Frank Howard, Singleton Cave, John Clark, Joseph Juffrold, Robert Arnold, John Pat- terson, William Green and Robert Blanke. Most of them are well-known gamblers. Singleton Cave,. Known as the patriarch of the green cloth, was at one time one of the wealthiest gamblers west of the Missise- ippi River. n Judge Peabody's court Thursday tho cases against the defendants were contin- ved until Friday by the City Attorney. CHOKED A WOMAN. George Brandt Defended Himself and Was Acquitted. George Brandt, an agent for the Metro- politan Life Insurance Co., was a defend- ant in Judge Stevenson's court Thursday. Wednesday afternoon he went to 1600 North Eighteenth street to collect a prem- jum from Mrs. Minnie Ray. To get to her house her passed through Mrs. Caroline Sieckman’s property. She ordered him away, emphasizing her com- mand by clutching the man’s throat. He choked her and the neighbors called the olice. When the facts were disclosed Po- ice Court Judge Stevenson discharged the defendant. FLED FROM HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Charles Walter Tells the Police Her Troubles. Charlies Walters is anything but a kind and affectionate husband, if the state- ments of his wife Emma, counts for any- thing. Walters and his wife live at 1237 Spruce street. Wednesday night Mrs. Walters ran into the Central Station at the Four Courts, crying bitterly and greatly excited. To the Sergeant_in charge she said that she had just es@aped from her home, where her husband had beaten her brutally and was threatening to kill her. Mrs. Walters told a strange story of do- mestic unhappiness. She said that her hus- band, who was a drinking men, had re- one beaten her in his cups and that e was encouraged in his abuse of her by his mother, who does not like her. She further told the officer that her husband and his mother had locked her up in the house for three days, and had refused to five her anything to eat during that time. he was nearly starved when she finally succeeded in making her escape and sought refuge with a neighbor. Patrolman Roe was sent out to arrest Walters. He found him on Fourteenth and Spruce streets and took him to the Four Courts. Despite his alleged ill-treatment, Mrs. Walters was unwilling to prosecute her husband when he was arraigned in court Thursday. The case was continued until Friday to secure her attendance.

Mr. Clover neglected to make a memorandum on the docket, and when his assistant took up the docket the bond was declared for- feited. The matter was arranged and re- docketed. Gill is a glass blower, employed by the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and lives at 2319 South Twelfth street. He was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter at the Four Courts Thursday morning. He is 30 years old, is married and has an interesting family. Mr. Gill says he has ever been interested on the subject of child labor and it Was this that brought him into unenviable no- torilety. “IT was elected to the Illinols Legisla- ture,”’ he said, “from Madison County, Il, in 1892. I introduced a bill prohibiting child labor in Illinois. I was chairman of the committee that visited Chicago in 1893 and inspected the sweat shops that employed child labor and was at least partially re- sponsible for the enactment of laws pro- tecting the My children. “Now, this little King girl was unknown to me. She is a slight, frail child and I could see that she was a working girl. She carried a dinner pail tn her hand and passed my house every morning at 6 o'clock on her way to work. I made inquiries and learned she worked in a laundry from 6 in the morning until 8 and 9 o’clocK at nignt. I made further Inquiries and found that she lived on Lami street, between Third street and Broadway. I was told that her mother lived with a fellow named Stanley. who did not work. I felt sorry for the child and wrote.a note telling her I wanted to see her. I signed a fictitious name, and that is where I made a mistake. I wanted té6 assist the child. My motive was not impure. “Now, since I gained unpleasant notori- ety, I will insist on a vindication. Police- man Tom Nugent, who arrested me, came to me a few days ago and told me if I would buy the girl a dress and a pair of shoes she would not appear against me and the case would be dropped. Nugent told me this and I have two wiinesses—Con Fogarty, a saloonkeeper at Third and Bar- ton street, and Clem Welcke, a l'veryman on Duchouquette street, between Third etreet and Broadway. “This morning Nugent came to me and told me he had given Mrs. Stanley $10 to drop the matter and he wanted me to re- turn the money. I told him that I had determined to allow the case to come to trial and would insiet on the matter not being dropped without a thorough hearing.” WRONG MAN ARRAIGNED. Police Summons Served on Father In.- stead of Son. “Fritz Abeken, come forward!’’ cried the City Marshal, in Judge Zimmerman’s police court. A nice-looking old gentleman took Nis seat in the chair usually reserved for the prisoners. “How do you plead, gullty or not gullty?’’ asked Attorney Burgess. Abeken looked blankly at Attorney Bur- gess and said: “I don’t understand what you mean.” The prosecuting witness, Mrs. Sturm, whispered in Mr. Burgess’ ear and then Mr. Burgess got up. “We have the wrong man, your honor,’”’ said the attorney. ‘“‘How is that, Mr. Marshal?’ asked Judge Zimmerman, “T served Fritz Abeken,”’ shal. “Iam Fritz Abeken,” said the man tn the prisoner's chair. “Well, then, go ahead,” said the judge. “But it is his son, not him, that did it,” said Mrs. Sturm. “Oh,”’ satd the judge, ‘“‘where is he?” “Over there,’ said Mrs. Sturm. The wrong Fritz had been served, so the case had to be dismissed and a new process issued to be tried at some later day. Mrs. Sturm accuses Fritz Abeken, Jr., of persecuting her little boy, Joey, by chasing him around South Broadway on his way to and from school. OBSTRUCTED STREET CARS. Otto Eichner Fined $50 for Blocking the Lindell. Otto Eichner and William Reinhardt, teamsters, will in future be careful to re- spect the Nghts and privileges of street car companies to the right of way on public thoroughfares. The two men are drivers for the St. Louis Ice and Coal Co. and were charged with obstructing the streets. On the morning of July 19. Eichner’s loaded wagon broke down on Washington between Broadway and S.xth street, and Reinhardt drove up another wagon to take the ice out of the disabled Waxzon., Reinhardt’s wagon was tin the tracks of the Lindell Railway, and he caused a block- ade of forty cars by refusing to drive out. For a few moments a riot was imminent be- tween the motormen, armed with switch bars and brake handles, and the ice men, armed with ice picks and tongs. Patrolman (‘rane appeared and arrested Eichner. In Judge Peabody's court Thursday Bich- ner pleaded not guilty, and said it was Rein. hardt who had caused the trouble. Rein- hardt testified In favor of Etchner, and in so doing got himself into trouble. Judge Peabody fined Eichner $3 and ordered a summons issued against Reinhardt, who will no doubt receive a similar fine when his case comes to trial. HERE'S A PIPE STORY. Edward Daly Fined for Disturbing a Smoker. Edward Daly, aged 16, was fined $% in the Second District Police Court on Thursday for knocking Theodore Gylda’s pipe from his mouth. Gyida lives at_ 210% O'Fallon street. He was smoking Wednesday evening when Daly came along, and quarreled with Gylaa, Jr. In the course of the argument Daly was hit, and picking up a stone let it go at his assailant’s head. It nmfissed him, but struck his father’s pipe, smashing the bowl and driving the stem said the mar- in Longshoremen Have a Dispute Over Their Working Capacity. John Fienn ts nursing a sore head and bruised body, the result of his sneering re- marks to Joe Parsons. Both men work on the levee. Flenn said he’ could do more work In a day than Parsons could do in @ month. Par. sons felled him with a Wagon stake. At the Dispensary several scalp wounds, a cut cheek and an injured arm were dressed. Judge Stevenson discharged Fienn Thurs- day and fined Parsons $10 and costs. A gn Wanton, = — JAMES BOYLE BROKE THE RULE. He Was Arrested and Fined fcr the Of- fense in Judge Zimmer- man’s Court. Patrons of the summer show at Klaus- man’s Cave Garden, on the southern city limits, may not express their disapproval of any part of the show. Any hissing or other marks of disappro- bation will be followed by arrest and pun- ishment in the Police Court. Herman J. Heinzman runs the show and the whole neighborhood. He is manager and is supposed to know what is a good show and what is not. Nobody else has any right to do anything but approve. James Boyle, Johnny Fitsgerald and Eddle Walsh, three young men who are regular patrons of vaudeville, decided to go to Klausman’s and see the show, having had a wide and varied experience they thought one of the turns decidedly yellow and ex- pressed their opinion by hissing. In a min- ute the gatekeeper, named Ahler, alias “Shorty,” told them to stop [t or get thrown out. Boyle attempted to debate the ques- tion, but only got as far as the preamble when “Shorty” took a punch at him and turned him over to the two large end portly private watchmen hired by Mr. Heingman. The gatekeeper told Judge Zimmerman of Boyle's outrageous conduct. Mr. Heingman explained what a good show he had and what evident bad taste Boyle was guilty of. Judge Zimmerman told the young man that if he did not Iike the show he must gO away, but not disturb those who did like it. He fined him $5 and costs, the fine being later remitted on payment of $3 costs. Boyle, as he was turned out of the pris- oners’ cage, remarked: “You don't get me to none of them Indian medicine shows no more. It may go with them Carondeleters, but it don’t go with me.” FOUGHT ABOUT APPLES. Farmer Sharp Causes the Arrest of Michael Kelly. John W. Sharp, who is deaf and talks loudly, in Judge Zimmerman’s Court Thursday morning charged Mike Kelly with disturbing his peace. Mr. Sharp is 75 years old and lives in the county on a farm. His story in his own words was: “IT was coming into town in my buggy when I saw an old black aunty, a neighbor of mine, walking along the road. I took her up and carried her into town. *‘Down at the blacksmith shop I stopped to leave some harness and the old colored Mate aes got out. Kelly hollers: ‘If that old worffan was out picking them rotten apples you sold me you wouldn't be so polite.’ “I didn’t gather his meaning, so I said nothing and got out. He walked up to me and cursed me, and then hit me right in the face. I don’t know how often he hit me, but a near laid me up in * Kelly had failed to appear in time, so the Judge fined him $20 and costs. Hardly had the fine been entered when Kelly showed up, out of breath and hot. It was too late however, so he had to wait until court had adjourned to tell his side of the story. “Tt was all about four bushels of rotten apples he sold me two years ago. I spoke to him about them and he called me a liar. l asked him to take it back, because he was an old man, but instead of taking it back he said it over again, so I just had to hit . I only hit him once, but I had to do y, who ts himself about 60 years old, was allowed to pay costs. Sharp is the father of the man who had a fight with Mr. Hilger in the Circuit Court a few days ago. ‘ GO HING IN COURT. Chinese Laundryman Prosecutes a Peace Disturber. Go Hing closed his laundry at 4500 Taylor avenue Thursday to prosecute Charles Mur- phy in the Dayton Street Police Court. Murphy and two companions made it live- ly for the chink Wednesday night. They threw his laundry on the floor, upset water buckets and finally took a fall out of the celestial. Murphy was\the only one caught by Pa- trolman Schergene, and Judge Stevenson fixed his fine at $5 FOUGHT THE BOARDER. Wm. Fitzgerald Resents Having His Gayety Discussed. Mrs. William Fitzgerald has d@ boarding house at 1515 Washington avenue. Her hus- band ts a traveling salesman. Stories of his gayety on the road have reached the wife's ears, mainly through the medium, Fitzgeradd says, of Charles L. Ginn, a white-haired boarder of ® years.

Fitz erald W ae fined $10 in the Becond Dis- trict Police Court Thursday. THEY WERE NOT GHOSTS. Burglars Loot the Cash Drawer of the Meridian Restaurant. Burelars attempted to loot the Meridian lunch room at 612 Locust street Wednes- Gay night. George Allen, a porter employed at the restaurant, was passing the place when he saw a man Inside tampering with the cash register Allen got two policemen and sta- tioned one of them pt the back door and the other at the front.

The wedding Is private, and its anneunce- ment will come as a complete surprise to St. Louls society. The bride, as Miss Georgie Myer, was a noted society belle.

The Minkes and the Millers are warring again, and for fifteen minutes Thursday morning the air around 2231 O'Fallon street was filled with flying tin pans, teapots and bad language. Bad blood was engendered a week ago when Mrs. Miller cast reflections on Mrs. Minke’s conduct. Since that time each has been in the police court, and a summons is out against each for disturbing the other's peace. When Mrs. Minke was cooking breakfast Thursday, she was startied by a teacup crashing through the window and hitting the stovepipe near her head. She ran into the hall. rs.

In the cellar beneath the Wabash depot, where Mareus Yates was murdered and robbed Friday night or Saturday morning, the police Thursday found a hatchet buried several inches deep in a pile of rubbish. It is an old hatchet and l4 covered with blood and hair. This ‘es the inetrument with which Marcus Yates’ skull was ecrvehed as he was lying asleep on his cot, The hatchet may be the means of fasten- ing the crime on some of the several ne groes under arrest on suspicion of the murf- der. It was the property of the aged negro, He used it to chop his coal and kindling in the cold weather and it also came in handy when he wanted to drive a nail or make some repairs about the depot. The police think this is proof positive that Yates was murdered, not by some employe, by some reon familiar —— with his humble home to know hatchet. They argue that if the crime had been committed by a person unacquainted with the victim and his home, the hatehet would not have been used. The would come prepared. The place where i was found is also regarded as evidence the murderer’s familiarity with the place. Sammy Butler and Willlam Burgess, two of the guspects, were former employes of Yatea, police afterward learned that the hatchet was not Yates’ property, becaure the hatchet he used wea found in the house some time after the discovery of the b - stained weapon. The officers tock the hatchet to Mra. Bur- cess, mother of Willam Burgess, one of the suspects, who lives on Center street, near Clark avenue, and she identified it ae the hatchet which she used last Tuesday tack- ing up some curtains. She said she found it in ‘he yard of her home, and that it. he- longed to aflother woman in the row, whose name and address she dd not k»ow, The detectives next visited Mary Butler of 699 Lucos avenue, si«ter of Sonny Butler, another suspect and pal of Burgess, hen shown the hatehet «he sald it wasn the property of Frankie Johnson who now lives at 622 Lucas, but who until recentiy Hv with her. She claimed that she had rowed the hatebet to lay carpets. When Frankie Johnson saw the hatchet she said it belonged to Hattie Harris, who is now dead. Henry Smith. a negro pal of Burress, fourd the hatehet In his room when he was called upon by the detectives and he be- came very indignant. Stole an Opium Pipe. William, aljas Kid Smith, an optum fiend, was arrested Thursday morning for the theft of an opium pipe from Gam Lee of 816 Market street. The theft was committed June W lest. ——— amie ap —_—- THE MARKETS. nn” ST. LOUIS, July 22.

Many Girls Apply to Support Miss Wainwright. in a could An advertisement newspaper said that fifty chorus girls find employ- ment by applying at the stage door of the new Imperial Theater, Tenth and ‘ine streets, at ll a. m. Thuraeday. At 8a. m. the door was sought by 10 girls, beautiful, buxom and bDillowy. At 9 a, m, the fem'nine mob was supplemented by 100 girls, maidens, maids and disappointed wives, and at 11 o'clock the "police were called to keep order amongst the gentler sex, each one of which was willing to wear pink tighta. J. Cc. Jannopoulo, manager of the Sub- urban Garden, Das arranged to have Marie Wainwright, her company and a chorus pre. sent “A Midsummer Night's Dream’ the week of Aug. 8 and “As You Like It” the week following. Mies Wainwright has the company, but Mr. Jannopoulo had to get the chorus. That was why he advertised, Hia principal man, Mr. (;umperts, was in- structed Thursday to pick out of the 50 girls fifty who could sing. It was a tough oh. : Each one was called upon to run the scale to the accompaniment of a plano. The voices ranwed in tune from an Arkaneas saw mill to a Sixth street imitation of a Patti. But fifty were selected who knew the difference between do, re, me, fa, aol and a house on fre, Some of the giris—even those with pow- der filling up the chinks of the wrinkles in thelr faces-—were gay, and in a matter of fact way exhibited a display of hosiery that would make a bicycle girl perep're.

The will of Fred Ellebrecht was filed in the Prebate Court Thursday morning. He is especially anxious that his grave be kept green until the $19 left for the purpose is exhausted.

When his wife dies he wanta her to be buried with him. and both their names carved on &@ proper monument over them. EARTHQUAKE TREMORS. Vibrations From. East to West Felt at ‘Saratoga. SARATOGA, N. Y¥., July 2 —BMarthquake tremors were felt here at 3 and 2: o'clock this morning. The vibrations passed from east to west RUSH FOR BREWERY STAMPS. Beermakers Avoiding Loss of Rebate Under New Tariff Bill. The elevators in the Federal bullding are kept In constant motion these days. The occasion of this unusual activity is the rush of brewers to the Internal Revenue Department on the second floor of Uncle Sam's big building. This is where the brewers buy beer stamps. The demand for stamps is un- precedented in the history of the revenue department in St,.. Louis. «We have had orders presented for over ha a million dollars’ worth of stamps within the last three days,” sald Chief Clerk Cleveland to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Thureday. Yesterday was @ rec- ord breaker.” When asked for names and amounts of purchases Mr. Cleveland replied: “We decline to give out that Informae- tion. It would be a rank violation of Gov- } } | ernment orders. I see some figures have been given in New York. Those people had no right to divulge the information,” It Is known, however, that all of the larger brewertes got in on the ground floor— thet is, they ordered large consignuenents ‘early so as to avold the rush. The greater / part of the demand for stamps now comes from the emaller breweries. The cause for such an unusual demand for stamps is a provision In the new tariff biiL which annulsa the present 7% per cent rebate on all stamps purchased, It is to save this amount of purchase money that the brewers are rushing to get. their stamps. The new law will add about §2,20,- 000 to the revenue receipts, all of which comes from the brewery till The new ‘schedule will become effective as soon as ; the ino, President affixes his signature te the bill.”* “Do you extend your office hours or othe erwise provide extra facilities to enable the brewers to get in?’ Chief Clerk Clevee land was asked, “No, air,” he replied. “enost emphatically President McKinley has tesued posi- tive orders to Collectors against increasing facilities on aceount of the pending emer- gency. That would simply be equivalent te assisting the brewers to escape the tare Tit rush for stamps its, of course, gene eral throughout the country.-: Information from New York is to the effect that the demand is unprecedented. About $22,000 per day ts the New York record. One New York brewer bought worth of stamps at one order. Th the maximum sale up to the close o ness Wednesday. In- this, St. Louls ean go New York one better. While the reve- nue officials absolutely refuse to give de- talled information relative to stamp sees it ia known that the Anheuser-Museh Brewe ery bought stamps to the amount of §161,<- ao, This beats any record yet aay- where in the United States.

If I were a member of the uniformed force I would re- sign before I would do or comand oth- ers to do the acts indicate d, which disgrace the profession and the men.” The board was much surprised by the un- expected outbreak, and as Col.
