SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH —— WRECKERS DERAIL A TRAIN AND KILL FOUR PERSONS. A Coupling Pin Had Been Driven Into a Switch on the Big Four Track at Thorntown, Ind.* ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED. Engine, Tender, Mail, Express and Baggage Cars Piled in a Heap, but the | Coaches Held the Rails. The Train Was Filled With Passengers From Chicago to Cincinnati, but None of Them Was Seriously Injured. THORNTOWN, Ind., July 30.—The Chicago express on the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & #8. Louls Ratllway, due in ~- Cincinnati ee oe” m., was wrecked at 2:30 o’clook. Four persons were killed outright and several slightly in- jured. There was a deliberate plot to wreck the train, as a coupling pin had been driven | into the switch @o as to hold it open%and throw the fast train from Chicago fo Cin- cinnati off the track as it passed this point. The engine and tender, the mail, express and baggage cars were thrown from the track and piled in a heap. ; Thé coaches and Wagner sleeping cars remained on the track and none of the pas- Sengers was seriously hurt, although they had a lively shaking up. It is reported that no one in the cars that were thrown from the track was seriously hurt. Seth Winslow of Greensburg, Ind., the en- gineer, and B. Crickmore of Indianapolis, the fireman, and two unidentified tramps were killed outright. While there were many reports about the number injured, there were none seriously hurt, although many were so badly frightened at first as to give credence to the reports about many being injured. Express Messenger John Edmonds of Bellevue, Ky., had charge of the express car and was thrown violently against the head end of his car, but escaped with a few insignificant scratches. Within a few minutes hundreds of people Were about the scene Conductor Fred Ruch took the lead in the work of rescuing the injured and recovering the dead. Fireman Quickmere was found lying un- der the boiler, He had he ‘iterally cooked to death by escaping steam. The body of Engineer Winslow was found wodged between the tender and cab, and from his position it is believed he was at- tempting to Jump when the engine turned over. He was horribly crushed and man- gied. Tramps were found lying under the front platform of the first mall car. They Were badly scalded afid crushed. From ing their passage. From papers on their persons it is be- lieved the two tramps were named Bijbe and Covender. CINCINNATI, July 30.—The officials of town this morning. The fatalities are limited to the engineer and fireman and two tramps. None of the others on the train were seri- ously hurt. When the train left Chicago last night at 8 o’clock it was an unusually long one. Only four stops were to be made between Chicago and. Indianapolis. The train was passing Thorntown at high speed when the engine struck the switch that had been opened and fastened open. The two trampsawho were killed were stealing a ride on the front end of the mall car, and thelr remains cannot be identified. A relief train was sent from Indianapolis to Thorntown early this morning and as soon as the track was cleared a new train was made up for this city and other points. The train was unusually crowded with pas- sengers. Engineer Winslow leaves a widow and two children. His remains were taken to his home at Greensburg and those of Fireman Crickmore to Indianapolis. The officials of the road have instituted a thorough inves- tigation as to the perpetrators of the wreck. The reports from Thorntown leave no doubt whatever about the switch having been thrown open and a coupling pin fastened in the switch to hold ft open. There have re- cently been some labor troubles in and about Thorntown, but none of them have been in any manner connected with the railroad. It is stated that since the mining troubles there have been a number of strangers about the place who are not connected with the strike, but who are supposed to have been tramping about with a view to plunder dur- ing the expected trouble. No attempt was made to rob the express or other cars and no understanding of the plot can be ascer- tained. All available detectives were set at work to-day on the case. INDIANAPOLIS, July 80.—Jesse A. Crick- more, the fireman killed in the Big Four wreck, lived In thiga city. He leaves a wife and two children. The opinion is entertained at the head- quarters of the Big Four-that the train wreckers had hoped to destroy a coal train about due. General .Manager Shaff has offered a re- ward of $500 for the arrest and conviction | of the wreckers. DEADLY AIR IN A TUNNEL. Train Stalls; One Man Dead; Others in a Bad Condition. HINTON, W.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 30.—As MEXICO, Mo., July 30.—Pretty little May | predicted in these dispatches yesterday the Winn, the 12-year-old girl who was cruelly | American Book Co. and its allied companies secured about 60 per cent of the text book contracts. There are rumors of jobs here to-day in awarding the contraets, but there is but little developed so far which has a ten- April, when her father, John Winn, was dency to show unfairness in awarding the absent. The night of the crime her father contracts except the fact that the Book Trust secured the lion’s share of the bids. The commission, however, will be called upon to explain how it came to adopt Milne’s arithmetic by the American Book Company at a higher rate than other good books were offered. Walsh's arithmetic, by Heath & Co. of Chicago, was offered at 56 cents, and the comnitission selected Milne’s at 56 cents. The Walsh book had one-fourth more mat- ter than Milne’s and besides it contained the necessary algebra and geometry for the elementary schools. Yet in the face of this the commission rejected this book, and it was then necessary to get both algebras and geometries separately. This requires thréé books to be bought when one could have been secured for all at less figures than the cost of each. Attorney-General Crow is worried at the criticism of the press on the commission and he feels indignant at the newspaper representatives. Yesterday he absolutely refused to answer a representative of a paper who simply wanted to know if he thought that @ conclusion could be reached by evening. He is accused of being close to the trust. All the book men here, about fifty in all, are dissatisfied with the contract. They say it is the worst job they ever saw and the poorest selection that any commission that they know of has ever made. These statements are made by trust representa- tives as well as others. The commission went into session at 10 o'clock to-day and remained in session until 1 o'clock, when it announced the selection of another trust book, United States His- tory, Shinn, by the American Book Co. Morse’s Primary History, Lippincott & Co., was also selected. The commission at noon announced that the prices would not be given until this evening.

Officer Reeve of the Broadway squad was put In citizen's clothes Thursday night and instructed to gather In street walkers on the downtown thoroughfares. Before he got through he arrested a young womar just out of her honeymoon and had locked up. +s The arrest was made within twenty yards of her home. Her protestations that she was @ married woman were of no avail. Her request that the officer step across the street to her house and learn something of her character was unheeded. The advice of several bystanders whe knew the woman was laughed at. Under her neighbors’ eyes she was carted away in a patrol wagon and placed in the hold-over with a charge of “soliciting men on the streets” against her name. Officer Reeve's victim was Mrs. Rosa Dickerson of 1106 Locust street. March 8 last Mrs. Dickerson, who was Miss Rosa Spencer of Quincy, Ill, was married to Louls H. Dickerson, Jr., by Rev. J. W.

Then the Pair Took a Cab and Went Out to Blow ae Themselves. At midnight Thursday, John Conley of 8405 Manchester road had $540 in his pocket. Ten minutes later he was without money enough to pay his car fare. The sudden transformation was wrought by a pair of yellow Amazons. Conley was held up and robbed in the shadow of a building at Eighteenth and St. Charles streets. Mattie Ewing and Emma Henderson, col. ored, are in the holdover charged with the robbery. Conley called at the Four Courts and identified the prisoners. With them in the holdover are Grace Mitchell, Frank Watkins and Robert Lee, all col- ored, accused of complicity. The five prisoners were arrested at Twelfth and Olive streets Friday morning | by Policemen Flannagan and O'Leary. They were in a cab “rounding up the town”’ when arrested. It is believed that the Mitchell woman and the two men were participants in the hold-up at least to the extent of help- ing spend the proceeds. ? ecording to Conley’s story he walked west on Olive street Thursday night, short- ly before 12 o’clock. When in front of the Merchants’ League building he stopped for a car. He waited several minutes and then turned north toward St. Charles street. “As I was a Locust street,”’ said Conley to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “a fnegro woman who was unmistakably a street-walker accosted me. She walked along by my side until we crossed St. Charles street. Here the woman stoppeu. She was the one I have identified as Mat- tie Ewing. “She insisted that I accompany her home, As we were talking Emma Henderson came up. Quick as a flash Mattie Ewing threw her arms around _ neck, while the Henderson woman went through my pock- ets. It was all over in a minute. I had no time to resist or to ery for help.’’ Immediately after the robbery the women fled. As soon as he became sufficiently composed to appreciate what had happened, Conley notified the police. All night long a diligent search was kept up. But in the night all coons looked alike to the officers and no arrests were made until the cab’ containing the five negroes now in the hold- over was spled by Flannagan and O'Leary. Sensational scenes attended the capture. The police commanded the hack driver to halt. The driver may not have heard the command. In any event he did not obey it. Instead, he lashed the horses furiously. At a high rate of speed the cab bounded away. Two shots came in rapid succession from the officers’ guns. The cab stopped suddenly. The flag of truce was up. All in a heap the three Amazons and the two men rolled out of the cab. The driver was allowed to go his way. Under cover of guns, the quintette trem- blingly, obeyed the officers’ command to stand still. A patrol wagon conveyed them to the holdover. Robert Lee suddenly became excited. The officers noticed him throw something away. On investigation they found it to he $140 in paper money. At the Four Courts the party wae searched. Neatly rolled up in the fluffy wool on the Henderson woman’s head, was a roll of bills amounting to $238. The re- mainder of the money supposed to have been taken from Conley has not yet been recovered. The ve negroes had been engaged in riotous revel from shortly after m'‘dnight until the hour of their arrest. They went from saloon to saloon, carousing as only such a band of toughs can carouse. Liquor flowed in the wake of these people as water flows in a rivulet. To them, money was no object. They drank ch 8, they drank int juleps and they drank beer. In the language of the ‘burnt dis- trict,”” they were “out for a time,”’ and they went “down the line.”’ It has been many years since a more hilarious ag ation of revelers tossed money into galoon cash registers. Evidence of the night's debauch was plainly depicted on the vicious faces of the toughs when they were placed In th holdover. Confinement behind the bars di not chill the spirit of Notous revelry. When a Posi-Dispatch reporter, accom- panied by an artist, entered the holdover corridor, the women insisted on doing the serpentine dance. The men. were more In- clined to be sullen. It required nearly half a dozen officers to hold the accused robbers in line while the artist made a sketch. The reporter asked Emma Henderson one of the principals, for her side of the story. A fusillade of oaths was the reply. At- tempts to secure a statement from the other prisoners were equally futile. Never in the history of the St. Louls holdover has there been a more abandoned group of female prisoners. The Amazons have brawny arms of which a.pugilist might be proud. One blow from such an arm would stun an ox. Such women are rarely found in a civilized land. Vic- lousness is plainly written in their features. Shortly before noon Friday, Conley ap- eared at the Prosecuting Attorney's of- ce to ask a'warrant agaist the robbers, It Was promptly issued.

CASE WAS NOLLE PROSSED. He Sent a Witness to Jail for Not Revealing Secrets of the Grand-Jury. SORRY HE WAS NOT TRIED. His Present Case Continued Un- til When a Change of Magistrates ‘ill Be Asked. Saturday, The Court of Criminal Correction was crowded to the doors Friday morning. Those who gained admission expected to hear a lively set-to between Judge Murphy and Judge Peabody during the latter's trial for oppression in office. They were disappointed. Ashley C. Clover, attorney for the Police Judge, asked and was granted a continuance until Satur- day. When Judge Peabody was arrested, at the instance of Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill, he expressed a desire to be tried by Judge Murphy. He has changed his mind, and Sat- urday will request that another Judge be appointed to occupy the bench. If Judge Peabody is held to the Grand- jury for oppression in office and the Grand- jury indicts him, the situation will not be yd to the pugnacious little police magis- rate. When Peabody was a notary public, fifteen years ago, he committed one George Leon- ard to jail on his refusa] to answer certain uestions in a case wherein Warren F. Mc- Chesney was defendant. A writ of habeas corpus was issued, and was made returnable in the Court of Crim- inal Correction, at that time, 1882, presided over by the late Charles F. Cady. After hearing the evidence Judge Cady ordered Leonard released, holding that No- tary Peabody had exceeded his authority in committing him. State officials then took a hand in the matter, and the result was the indictment of Peabody, charging oppression in office. The late Judge J. ©. Normile was Circuit Attorney at that time, ex-Mayor E. A. Noo- nan was Assistant Circuit Attorney, and Marshall F. McDonald was second assistant. The case was not triéd in the Criminal Court, the judge holding that Peabody was charged with misdemeanor, and that the Criminal Court had no jurisdiction. So the case was certified to the Court ef Criminal Correction for trial before Judge Cady. The act that led to Peabody's indictment was committed on July 15, 1882. Warren F. McChesney had been indicted by the Grand Jury for gambling. An order was issued by the Crisninal Court for taking depositions in the case, and Peabody, then a notary public in the Temple building, was appoint- ed to preside. Six questions propounded to Witness George Leonard were objected to by the Circuit Attorney on the ground that they would reveal secrets of the Grand-jury room. Notary Peabody overruled the objections and held that Leonard must answer. On the advice of the Circuit Attorney, Leon- ard refused. The Notary then issued a commitment, ordering the sheriff to take Leonard to jail and keep him there until he would make answer to the questions, which were six in number. Leonard was taken to jall and promptly released on bond, pending the hearing of the habeas corpus case. Peabody was indicted on June 23, 1882. After his case had been certified to the Court of Criminal Correction, Peabody filed a motion to quash the indictment, citing thirteen reasons, and signing the document, ‘“T H. Peabody, attorney for himeeif,’’ On August 6 this motion was withdrawn, and the same day the case was nollie prossed. Judge James R. Claiborne was Prosecut- ing Attorney in the Court of Criminal] Cor- rection at that time, and the case could not have been dismissed without his consent. Judge Claiborne is now a practitioner be- fore Judge Murphy. When questioned by a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday morning as to why the charge of oppression in office was nollie prossed against Judge Peabody fifteen years ago, he professed great sur- prise that such a thing had ever occurred. “Judge Peabody may have been indicted at that time,” said Judge Claiborne, ‘but I have no remembrance of it. Yes, I was Prosecuting Attorney at that time. Judge Peabody’s memory is better. “So they have brought that old thing out from its hiding place, have they?’ he said, ‘Well, I had hoped to never hear of it again, but since some of my friends have been kind enough to drag it out, I guess I can discuss it. “There was nothing in the charge and I was not tried. True I was indicted, but it was a piece of spite work as is the charge now pending against me. The present cuse will amount to no more than did that. ‘Marshall F. McDonald was the man who caused me to be indicted then. “There were a great many gambling cases in the courts at that time. As a notary I wished to preserve the peace and dignity. I had a perfect right to commit Leopard to jail for his refusal to answer the questions. “Judge Cady ruled otherwise, but he erred in his decision. Judge Normile knew I was correct and would have acquitted me but I was persuaded to permit the case being nolle prossed, which I now regret. . “This time I shall insist on a trial, but I want to go before an unprejudiced judge.” MABEL IS EXCITED. Gus Zinks’ Inamorata Doesn’t Like to Be Locked Up. Mabel Blagg, the 16-year-old girl held at the Four Courts because she eloped from Chicago with Gus Zink, chafes under re- straint.

FRIDAY—S8T. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—JULY 30, 1897. WHO STOLE Tht RECORDS? a> —_—" Hugh J. Brady’s Friend, Hugh T. Pattison, Formerly Clerk, Says He Did Not, THINKS AN OUTSIDER DID IT. Archibald Carr Says It Was Cer- tainly Done by Some One in the Clerk’s Office. ANYHOW, IT WAS A FELONY. The Jefferson and Jackson Clubs Ask Gov. Stephens Not to Give Brady an Office. The man who abstracted and destroyed the papers that chronicled the indictment of Hugh J. Brady for bribery in 1883 com- mitted a felony. An enactment of the Missouri Legislature in 1879 provides a penitentiary sentence for teller of the og yor ay 9 amat he might oin his litical boss in business. ’ “Did Bay abstract the papers referring to Brady's indictment?’ Mr. Pattison was asked by a reporter for the Post-Dispatch Friday morning. Pattison 4'd not seem surprised at the question, but leaned back In his chair and replied: “I did not take them. “Who aid?’ “IT haven't the faintest idea. I did_ not know they were missing till I read the Post- Dispatch.”’ “Mr. Staed eays the documents were on file when he turned over the office to you, said the reporter. “Well, what of it? I never saw them.”’ aoe with Brady, have you not?” ef e aad s “And yet you never looked at the papers that charg him with a felony?’ ‘“‘No, I never had occasion to do so.” “Were the papers there when you turned the office over to Mr. Carr?’ “T don’t know. I don’t even know whether they were there when I took possession. I tell you I never saw them.”’ “How do you account for their disap- pearance, Mr. Pattison?’’ ‘Someone may have abstracted them while the clerks were out of the room. We had not the force then that they have now, and 1 have known the room to be unoccupied ten or fifteen minutes at a time.”’ “Were the clerks ever away from the room long enough for ome to have taken the papers and also carefully erase Brady's name from the Index?’ “Yes: I have known it to be deserted while the clerks went to lunch.” Archibald Carr, the present Clerk of the Criminal Court, in whose custody the docu- ments should be, believes there is not much mystery surrounding the disappearance of the indictment and the falsifying of the records. Mr. Carr made a personal exami- nation of the books and records Thursday with a Post-Dispatch reporter and said: ‘There is no doubt In my mind that the erasure of Brady's name from the index book and the stealing of the indictment were done for a purpose. Ordinarily the first place one would look when searching for the records of this oourt in any iInd!i- vidual’s case would be in the index. The name not being there, the resumption would be that the party had never ap- eared before the court as a defendant. he next step to be taken would be to search for the papers in the case. If these were missing the presumption would be strengthened and the searcher would prohba- bly conclude that there had never been any criminal proceedings against the person ‘Yn whom he was interested. ‘‘The erasure of Brady’s name from the “You have always sustained close politi- egetras te, mare, bet, coder she “pret gov clause .o e club’s constitu- tion the board holds 7. protest against Brady.

Smith cast the deciding vote against rady. Sam T. Rathell objected to the adoption of the resolution because, in his opinion, the Governor would know whom to appoint without any advice from the Jackson Club. He could not stem the tide, and the reso- lution of protest was mailed to the Goy- ernor Friday afternoon. WOMAN ROBBED BY A NEGRO. Mrs. Keanter Encounters a Highway- man on Fifteenth Street Mrs. Mary Keanter, Old Orchard, was rob- bed by a hegro Thursday evening of a small hand satchel containing $% and a number of toilet articles. Mrs. Keanter was on Fifteenth street. As she reached the alley between Washington and Frank- lin avenue, a negro sprang from the dark- ness and seized the satchel. With a vigor- ous jerk the negro wrenched it from her rasp and darted back into the alley be- ore his victim could raise an outcry. When she recovered from her astonishment her cries attracted Patrolman Himeles, ‘to whom she told her story. A search was made for the negro, but he could not be found.

Brady made ap- plication to the Jefferson Club for member- ship tn that body. It is the largest organi- zation of Democrats itn the city, having 650 members, all of some prominence in the conduct of local Democratic affairs. Brady wae biackballed by a majority 60 large as to make it almost unanimous. One night last week the Board of Direc- tors of the club, having learned that the Governor was supposed to be favorably con- sidering Brady’'a name for appointment as Election Commiseloner, adopted a protest against Brady's selection, by a vote of 8 to | The protest, which was forwarded (to Gov. Stephens, reads as follows: Resolved, That it is the sense of the Roard of Directors of the Jefferson Club that it would be unwise to appoint Mr. Hugh J. Brady a member of the Board of Election Commissioners of the city of St. Louis, and that it would be detri- mental to the best interests of the party in the city and State.

When he recovered consciousness he made straight for the Dis- pensary, and has no idea who the negro is. Rosa Clark Testified That Hancock’s Victim Was a Bigamist. Matthew Hancock was held Friday for killing George Horton last Sunday evening in the ticket broker’s office at 113% Market street. Hancock carried a message from Rosa Clark of Chestnut street to Horton, and asked him for money. Horton assault- coat, vest and shoes to purchase the re- voiver he shot Horton with.

QUEER STORY TOLD BY HIM. He Went Looking for His Tools and a Lively Ruction f Followed. Mrs. Maggie Finch, who says George Ken- ney is her brother, came near sending George to his grave Thursday evening when he called on her at 2124 North Eleventh street. She sent a pistol shot whizzing by MRS. MAGGIE FINCH. his ear and was just about to fire a second time when her husband, Fred A. Finch, came up with a revolver in his hand to help her. Before either one could shoot, Policemen GEORGE H. KENNEY. port of the first shot, arrived and arrested the three persona. Mrs. Kenney witnessed the shooting from her position across the street. The attempt on Kenney’s life was the direct result of | Finch’s house, according to Kenney, after ‘some tools which he had left in their care. _Mrs. Finch received them and denied hav- Ting seen any tools belonging to Kenney. Mrs. Finch and the two Kenneys then en- gaged in a war of words, which was ended only when Kenney and his wife left the place. Half an hour later the Kenneys returned. Mrs. Finch saw them coming and prepared for the row she expected would follow. Kenney left his wife across the street and Started to the Finch Lome alone. He was also unarmed. When within a few feet of the doorsteps Mrs. Finch fired without saying a word. Kenney says he heard the ball go by his ear, but Mrs. Finch says she shot only to call the attention of the police. Mr. and Mrs. Finch and Kenney were locked up in the Fifth District tation, charged with a breach of the peace. They will be given a hearing in the Second Dis- trict Police Court Saturday morning. Mrs. Kenney was in court Friday morning fortified with documents and photographs to prove the falsity of Mrs. Finch’s claim that Kenney is her brother. ‘She meant to kill George,” said Mrs, Kenney. “I have often received word from her that I should not call George mine any longer, as she was determined that if she couldn't have him no other woman should.” Kenney denies that he is Mrs. Finch’s brother. He says he purchased Mrs, Finch for a wife from her first husband. After living with her awhile he tired of her and marrfied a girl down in Tennessee. He says Mrs. Finch shot at him because she is jeal- ous and wants revenge. Kenney recently served a term in the work-house for assaulting Mrs. Finch. He has affidavits which he says were sworn to by his sisters in New York, who state that they know Mrs. Finch, and that she is not one of the family. Mrs. Finch, on the dDther hand, has sev- eral letters from Kenney which ind'cate that her story is truthful. She says she be- lieves the man is periodically insane. When Kenney first told of his alleged transaction with Finch by which ire. Finch was to live with him as h's wife, Mrs. Finch sent a letter to the Post-Dis- patch purporting to be a retraction of the story by Kenney. The letter was printed. It set forth that Kenney had told _ the stories to spite his sister, who had caused him to be eent to the Work-house. Kenney afterward denied writing the re- traction, but Mrs. Finch declares she h a witness in the person of Mrs. MonahamPot Eleventh and Clinton streets that Kenney is the author of the letter sent to the Post- Dispatch office. Mrs. Finch says Kenney has been in the enitentiaries of New Jersey, Kansas and ennessee for highway robbery. SENT TO THE ASYLUM. Mrs. Hartman Committed, Despite Her Earnest Entreaties. Mrs. Dora Hartman was brought from the City Hospital to the City Dispensary Friday to be examined as to her sanity. She created a scene by going into hys- terics, and begging that she be not sent to an asylum. She declares she is being persecuted by the police, who want to put her out of the way. Despite her protests she was coma«itted to the Asylum for the Insane. ON HIS WIFE’S GRAVE. Suicide of Frank Wright in an Ohio Cemetery.

Those who had any doubt of the object of the reorganization of the Street De- partment through the Uthoff bill or of the character of the present municipal administration had their doubt dissolved when they read the list of appointments, at the head of which was that of Julius Wurzburger as Assistant Street Com- missioner. With Wurzbureer practically in com- mand of the Street Department the last hope of efficient work vanishes and there is a substantial assurance that the scan- dalous abuses which characterized the Ziegenhein administration of the Col- lector’s office will be repeated in this im- portant department. ?

But there is a mine of undevel- oped eloquence in what it means to the city. The riches of the market described in yesterday's Post-Dispatch made one's mouth water. Of home fruits there are grapes, plums, blackberries, raspberries, huckleberries, pears and apples as fine as ever grew. Home-grown watermelons and cantaloupes are coming in abun- dantly and mingled with the home prod- ucts are oranges, pineapples and ba- nanas. All of the fruits and melons are cheap this year. The prices place them within reach of the poor. But the abundance of the crops means wealth for the country as Well as health and delight for the city. ~~ © — —- The reformation of the New York police must evidently come by some slow process of evolution known only to nature herself. -_-=_ ©_ —/ | BOSS DESPOTISM. Boss Filley says that when Street Com- missioner Milner was appointed to his present office he (Filley) understood that Milner had agreed to certain “contracts and conditions,” and that because he had violated them, he (Filley) broke with the Walbridge administration and has re- fused to make recommendations to the Street Commissioner. That Mayor Walbridge and Street Com- missioner Milner deny the alleged ‘‘con- tracts and conditions’’ does not affect the Value to the people of Boss Filley's tes- timony. Here is an irresponsible individual who Sssumes to dictate “conditions” under which the appointment of a head of an important munfcipal départment shall be tendered and accepted, and who visits Yengeance upon the official when the “conditions” are violated.

No other newspaper in the West can approach the excellence of the Sun- Gay Post-Dispatch, because no other has its resources for news and special feat- ures. It is a harder task to beat its own past achievements, but it will do it. The Magazine will be a marvel of bright, readable ariicles on subjects of absorbing Interest, and it will be adorned with the finest work of newspaper picto- rial art. Tn its contents will be something about the most remarkable woman in St. Louls and the largest family in the United | States. The leader of the industrial war will be sketched. There will be a monu- ment of watermelons. The sad story of the woman who cannot remember names will be told. Corbett will give valuable points on the art of self-defense, and Buffalo Bill will tell a tale of the wild West. The story of a St. Louisan who “fell off the earth” will be told. The finest news service in the world will present all the news of the day from all parts of the globe. To cap its triumph, the masters of the comic art will present in colors the humorous fads and fancies of the hour. The Sunday Post-Dispatch will be a wonder.

P~ —— ——Eao NOT FOR THE FARMER. Senator Lucien Baker of Kansas puts a low estimate on the intelligence of the farmers of his State when he tells them that the new tariff bill is “in the interest of the farmer.” The tax on hides is cited by the Senator ‘asa measure of protection for the farm- ‘ers. Every farmer and cattle-grower of | intelligence knows that the profit of the | tax on hides will go Into the coffers of the Reef Combine which controls both the ‘cattle and the beet market. The only effect of the hide tax in the interest of the farmer will be to increase the cost of shoes and leather goods. | Thus the tax which was urged in he- ‘half of the Western farmers is in reality ‘a tax for the benefit of a great combine. ‘It is impossible to enhance the price of agricultural products by an import tariff, because a great surplus of these products must be sold abroad. The only benefit —_— would be reduction of the taxes on his necessities. Instead of reductions on the necessa- ries of life and of agricultural industries, there are increases on a great number of them and in nearly every case for the benefit of a trust or combine. Senator Baker can hardly convince his farmer constituency that a tariff law which enhances his cost of living in order to give trusts and combines a “rake-oft”’ on the farmer’s earnings is a law “in the interest of = eeenee, The carrying out of the apparent pro- gramme of the franchise grabbers and their official agents in the Municipal Assembly will present to both President Meier and Mayor Ziegenhein the question 'of approving a measure which is branded | with illegality and false witness in its | passage and which embodies a robbery of nearly $4,000,000. What will they do with it? It is well that the Coliseum should give more space for the horse show than could be had in New York or Chicago.

His prop- erty was auc- tioned off. It con- sisted of the tim- bers of his main hut and the ex- tensions he had built from’ time to time—it was of no use except as firewood. These timbers and a few half-starved chickens, which were his pets, netted him $50. The auction was the signal for the curious to penetrate the old man’s home—he had been courteous, but cold, to any would-be visitors for the last forty years, and no one had ever caught a glimpse of the inside of the hut—so they came in droves to the auction. After the auction, when the curious had dispersed, the old man borrowed a bull dog and turned him loose in the hut. The dog killed 1% rats. “They were my friends,” said the old man. *“‘Four escaped.

The Strangest part of the matter was the slowness with which the procession of bubbles moved, as if controlled by some hidden force. After acting well for sofne days the fluid in these tubes appeared to become go sat- urated with air that the bubbles could no longer pass. They ‘traveled slower and slower, and at last stopped altogether. It is safe to say that the fluid was ordil- nary glycerine, and the air bubbles were injected from beneath by a contrivance that must have been regulated by clock- work or electricity. ———, DINED WITH A CORPSE.

FULL OF PRECIOUS METAL. Prof. Debendeleben’s Discovery, and He Thinks It the Mother Lode of*the Deposits. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SANTA ROSA, Cal., July 30.—Prof. Otto- fried _Debendeleben declares that there is a mountain of gold in Alaska situated at 66 degrees 2% minutes and 11 seconds north latitude and 172 west longitude. The moun- tain is called Mount Debendeleben, in honor of the professor, and was named by Prof. George Davidson. It was in 1866, while he wag a member of the famous Western Union Telegraph Rus- sian extension expedition, that. Prof. De- bendeleben first saw the mountain. It is the highest peak in all that region, he gays, and is full of gold. Many scientists have been of the,opinion that all the gold that crops out on thig —, ead several cases of sweet potatoes and toes. bere is one thing against this country. A man can’t send any money home. I ff t cough up everything I have to a tracing company. They will give only $16 an ounce for gold. They charge 5 per cent to insure it being sent safely to the United States, which amounts to a loss of $11 on $100. The loss on $1,000 would pay my fare home. Be- fore I give up that per cent on what I have now I will walk out and carry it with me. Speculation here is beginning to «et ..

WASHINGTON, July 30.—Under the di- rection of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Chief Moore of the Weather Bureau has made public a statement in regard to the climate of Alaska. In this statement Mr. Moore says: The climates of the coast and the interior of Alaska are unlike In many respects and the differences are intens'‘fied In this,- as perhaps in few other countries, by excep- tional physical conditions. The fringe of islands that separates the mainiand from the Pacific Ocean from Dixon Sound necrth ‘and also a strip of the mainland for possi- ibly twenty miles back from the sea, fol- lowing the sweep of the coast as it curves to the northwestward to the western ex- tremity of Alaska, form a distinct climatic division which may be termed temperate Alaska. The temperature rarely falls to zero; winter does not set In until December 1, and by the last of May the snow his dis- appeared except on the m ns. he mean winter temperature of Sitka is 82.5, but little less than that of Washington. pe C. e rainfall of temperate Alaska is notorious the world. over, not only as re- ards the quantity that falis, but also as o the manner of its falling, viz: In lon and incessant rains and drizzgies. Cloud and fog naturally abound, there being on an average but sixty-six clear days in the year. North of the Aleutian Islands the coast climate becomes more rigorous in winter, but in summer the difference is much less : marked. The climate of the interior, including in mmm coast came some time from a great deposit | in the north, and the professor thinks that mighty floods that moved everything before them carried the golden particles from the mother lode to fields further south. It was Prof. Debendeleben who prepared the report on the resources of Alaska that went to Secretary of State Seward, which Mr. Seward declared to be one of the most | comprehensive documents of its character ever compiled. It was on this report that the Gecretary principally relied when urg- ing the purchase of Alaska from Russia by HUMBOLDT’S PREDICTION. Baid Rich Deposits Would Be Found in Northern Mountains. LOS ANGELBS, Cal., July .—When Bar- on Humboldt pursued his travels through South and Central America, of which he has left euch a fascinating record, he prog- mosticated that the richest gold deposits would be found the further north one trav- eled along the range of mountains which forms the backbone of the Americas. Whether known as the Rocky Mountains, the Cordilleras, the Andes or the Alaskan range, the continuous mountain chain ex- fends the entire length of the new world, and wherever tapped yields a golden prod- uct in smaller or greater amounts. Sir Roderick Murchison made a some. what similar prophecy regarding gold de- velopments in 6iberla, which, while not yet fully substantiated, has been approx!mately so by the gold deposits found in the Ural mountains. Indeed, there is not a country in the world, with one or two exceptions, that has not discovered some gold within its borders, albeit not always in paying quan- tities. WILL SAIL SATURDAY.

At that moment Hearst drew his gun and fired both barrels through the screen full at the body of Caldwell. Caldwell staggered about 10 feet, when he fell. He was carried to the home of Charley Lewis, where he now lies, and medical attendance was sent for. Hearst immediately told a neighbor Mre. William Ray, what he had done and told her he was going to town to give him- self up, which he did a few hours later.

THEY CHOKED HER TO. DEATH. Two of Them Sentenced to Death, but Penalty Reduced to Life Imprisonment. PHILIPPOPOLIS, Bulgaria, July 30.—The murderers of pretty Anna Szimon, the singer, have been convicted. The girl went from Buda-Pesth in 18% to Sofia, where she met Detscho Boitscheff. He was a fine-look- ing man, a captain of the guards, and aid- de-camp to Prince Ferdinand, and the girl was at once infatuated with him. Burdened with debts, Boitacheff engaged himself to marry a wealthy heiress and repudiated his promise to marry Anna Szimon, whom he sent to Buda-Pesth, with orders not to re- turn to Sofia. She returned, however, and in her efforts to see Boitscheff caused @ scandal] within the environments of the pal- ace of the Princess of Bulgaria. Roitscheff then determined to kill her and called to his aid Novelic, Prefect of Police, and a gendarme of the name of Wassolieff. A tryst was appointed at the Marilza bridga, to which place the murderers drove in a carriage. Three men, Novalic, Wasso- lieff and another, seized the girl and stupe- fied her with chloroform in the carriage, Boltscheff then mounted the box of the vehicle and drove a ehort distance, when, with the assistance of Novelic, he dragged the insensible girl out of the carriage with his own hands. Boitschef placed the girl on the ground and strangled her to death, after which he weighted the body with stones and cast it into the river. In the course of the trial Novelic and Wassolieff confessed and adhered to their statements that Boltecheff alone strangled the girl. Novelic sald that Boltscheff had sum- moned him to the pal and said: ‘She must be ified It is the Prince’s command." The jury returned a verdict finding Boit- echef and Novelic a ey of murder, and convicting Wassoll as ah accomplice. Novelic is supposed to have had a hand In the murder of ex-Premier Stambuloff, tn Boitscheff and Novello were each gen- tenced to death, but it was immediately an- nounced that the sentence in each case would be commuted to imprisonment for life, with deprivation of civil rights. h of the prisoners was also condemned to pay the sum of 6,000 franca, to d 6 @x- penses of rearing the victim's child.

BANCROFT AND The Manager and Captain of the Reds Both Declare Themselves. The Cincinnati Reds etill have hopes. Boston already claims the League flag of Baltimore has declared herself still out for it. The New Yorks say they will be there or thereabouts at the finish. The Cincinnati Club manager and captain, however, despite all these claims of the big Eastern clubs, say that they see the pen- nant giimmering ahead. They add, too, that analysis, not hope, is the bases of their prophecies. Captain Ewing talks like a man in earnest would and aa though ‘the knew Cincinnati finish one, two in the race. Manager Bancroft !s more He eays that despite the handicap some of that Temple Cup money. “We will win more games than we will lose,"’ said Capt. Ewing, talking about his club's chances while at Ch cago yesterday “We will win more for } : cones teams we will meet. am well satisfied with the og on ¢ The game we lost Was a chance loss. home run does not ofien win a game in the tenth. Our pitchers never were in the best twirling staff in the League. After our pleasure stop at Danville we will get back to Cincinnati and to serious business with the Indians. I expect to be ready. I gent Ehret, Pe'tz and Miller home to-night to get them itn shape for the series. Rreit- enstein, Dwyer and Ehret will hold Patsy Tebeau’s gang well down. Cincinnati is Playing ball, and will be playing ball when Other teams are quitting. The team will be in the Temple Cup division.” That home finish for the Eastern clubs is caus ng lots of trouble just at present. Ev- ery Western manager and captain is be coming daily more outspoken on the injus- tice of the schedule in this particular. “That schedule,” said Mr. Bancroft, ‘‘is putting greater odds against the Western c.ubs with every game that is played. You can talk theory all you want to, but I (ell you a fact when I say that the team that gets the last thirty-six games on its home rounds has a better chance of winning an any visiting team can have. Boston and Baltimore finish at home. That is a condition that favors the'’r battling out be- tween them the pennant and the’ Temple cup. Cincinnati is playing better bal! than Baltimore, and every bit as good as Boston. That is a condition that tells for Cincinnati It is just a question of relative strength. nd at this moment I don’t mind Saying that rely upon the Reds to struggle through al] adverse circumstances, I will say, however, that this is the last ear that a Western club is ever going to ake the handicap of finishing in the Fast for such an extreme trip. Presidents Hart of Chicago, Pulliam of Loutsville. Von der Ahe of St. Louis, and Robison of Cleve- land, have all reached the same concluston. and when the time for the next League meeting Comes around they will all be én line with Brush. Hereafter there are groing to be three tri for each club instead of two between the East and West. There will be several advantages to this, the chief, of course, that it will be an evener of conditions. No club will get rooted to the home grounds, and it won't make a reat deal of difference where the clubs go or the last games, whether the close comes in the East or in the West. At the most no club will be at home more than three weeks at the close.” THE LOUISVILLE COLONELS. They are Here and Hans Wagner, Their Great Player is Here With Them. Perry Werden of the Louisville Base Ral! Club arrived here last night. ° He was the advance guard of the Louis- ville Colonels, Awho arrived here this morn- ing. They will play the first game of their closing series with the Browns at Sports- Man's Park this afternoon. With the Colonels comes Hans Wagner, or Butch Wagner, who John Batto yesterday declared was the greatest ball player that ever struck Louleville. Mr. Wagner looks ‘like any ball pares except that he is a little heavier han the average professional and not quite 80 good looking. ‘agner will play at center field in to-day's game, but if called on will play any other position. The Loulsvilles play one game here this afternoon and two games to-morrow and _ on Sunday, making five games in three aye. ' League Pennant Race. other Won. Lost. Pet.

The St. Louls Teresa Foot Ball Association had their own way last night in so far as giving their ex- cursion on the river was concerned. The City of Providence was chartered for the occasion and when she left the levee at the foot of Olive street at 8:25 last evening, she had on board a splendid crowd. Man- ager Costigan of the St. Teresas was in charge. wencing, a concert by the St. Tere- sas’ Mandolin Club and music by a brass and string band were features of the even- ing’s entertainment. The excursion was They would like to hear from | | such a success all around that another just like it will be given in the very near fu- ture. THE STAR ATHLETIC CLUB. It Will Give a Very Lively Tourna- ment on Sunday, Aug. 1. The Star Athletic Club will give a prize tournament and picnic at the Branch, Mor- ganford road and Arsenal street, on Sun- day, Aug. 1. The event will bring out sev- eral of the best sparrers in St. Louls, who will take part in the various scientific spar- ring exhibitions. The bouts will be between Jack Winsley and Artie Flint, H. Roddy and O. F. Herget, C. Shute and F. Ga- brillac, F. Noel and C. Mertchings. There will also be other sports, includ! a wrest- ling match between Max Luttbeg and Richard Kane. The following clubs will take part in the tournament: Columbian, Laclede, Liberty, Mercantile, Millionaires, Bell, Chouteau and Jolly Rulers. ORDERED OFF THE TRACK. Imp. Sugar Will Run no More Races Over the Fair Grounds Course. There were two good things at the Fair Grounds Thursday. One of them went through, but the other did not. In the fourth race all the insiders had Madeline for a sure thing. She passed Linda at the betting ring, but Linda came again and won by a neck. All of the knowing ones saved a dollar or two with which to play Imp. Sugar, in the last race, and backed her at sixes for all they were worth. Judging the filly by her previous races, the bookles thought she had no chance, and they took all the money that was offered at the opening price. They were hit very heavily in consequence, but not so heavily as the owners of the filly, Mackmilian & Munder. They were ordered to take their stable from the track instanter on account of the in-and-out running of their filly. She was the favorite her last out, but was beaten badly at three-quarters in 1:17. Thursday she carried sixteen pounds more weight and reeled off the three-quart- ers in 1:16%. Judge Murphy thought there was good cause sure enough to take action and he straightway ordered the owners of the filly to move on. LOOKING FOR GROUNDS. Thre Western District Athletes Want Permanent Training Quarters. The officers and members of the Western District of the Amateur Athletic Union are looking for suitable training quarters in St. Louls. What they want is a regular athletic ground which they can use for football, bicycle and all other outdoor sports. They will give their first meeting on the Pastime grounds, at De Hodiamont, on Sept. 17, and if it is a winner they may conclude to fit up a ground of their own immediately and at any cost. Mr. Taylor, tion, says the club to be successful must have a ground of its own and they are now looking around for the right sort of a location. he members favor a spot south of Forest Park, but failing to secure it may locate elsewhere.

TO THE GREAT MEET, a ae Fast St. Louis\ Bicyclists Have Gone to tha Philadel- phia Races. ———— a « WILL MAKE A_ SHOWING. Hattersley, McCarthy and Pea- body of Chicago Go Against the Cracks of the East. There has been a scattering of the fast amateur bicyclists of St. Louis during the past few days. A number of the riders are off to the National meet races in Phila- delphia, or to other cities, where they ex- pect to ride for prizes. Dan Dougherty, Joe Howard, Frank Cos- tello and Felix Gast, four of the speediest and best all around riders of the city, left Thursday for the National meet at Phila- delphia. The races In connection with the meet begin next Tuesday, and Dougherty, Howard and Costello will start in some of the events in which they are eligible. Gast does not expect to ride in competition, but will help his friends out in their train- ing. The boys are in charge of Buckner, the | well-known and successful De Hodiamont | trainer, which means that they will go on the track Iimbered up and fit to race. Charlie McCarthy and Fred Hattersley, who went to Cincinnati for track training for a tortnight’s preparation for the Phil- adelphia meeting, will join the other St. Louis boys in the Quaker City Sunday. At the national meet the fastest amateurs in the East will meet those of the West, and great races and new records are expect- ed to be the result. Peabody of Chicago ‘intends to race at Philadelphia, and he and McCarthy and Hattersley will again get together. One of these three will carry off the Western honors, and they are expected to furnish the rider that will beat the fast- est of the Eastern cracks. St. Louis will be well represented at the Philadelphia meet, and more than one first prize medal may be brought back to this city. E L.

While the boys are getting eastward some more of the St. Louis riders are looking for oft spots nearer home. : They think they found one of these spots at Kansas City, where an interstate bicycle meet is being held Friday afternoon.

Atkinson Holds That the Courts Have Exceeded Their Jurisdiction. WHEBPLING. W. Va., July %.—The organ- izers in the several fields are mapping out their campaign, though mo actual work will be done before Saturday or Sunday. The Mason injunction is creating widespread comment and nearly everyone agrees with 'Gov. Atkinson that !t covers more ground ‘than comes under the court's jurisdiction. | Boggs Run miners in the Wheeling district who went back to work this morning, willl be followed by the other 500 strikers. The '¢ the few who still remain at work will soon join them. In West Virginia the campaign will be prosecuted with renewed vigor. The injunction proceedings instituted there will not keep organizers out of the State. I fee) confident that the strike is gaining daily in power, and that success will be achieved. goo ‘break is only a blow to sentiment, however, as none of the Wheeling district mines ship coal or help to relieve famine. =a DE ARMITT MEN AT WORK. The Presence of an Army of Strikers Fails to Bring Them Out. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPWICKLEY, Pa., July 3.—A well or- assault has been made upon the Pittsburg operators’ stronghold. The New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co. has mined coal furiously from the be- ginning of the great strike. President De Armitt’s men have been steadily and hard at work for 21 per cent less wages than the 150,000 other miners are striking for. They are individually and legally bound to con- tinue to produce coal. De Armitt is a fighter, and says he will legally prosecute every man who violates his bond. The miners have been quite con- ;} tented. They have worked for little per | ton, but have mined many tons. Their ac- ceptance of low wages hes given them pro- portionately more work, and they have easily averaged $1.75 a day in cash, six days in the week. It is doubtful if they can be persuaded to stop work. Even the continued presence of 1,000 striking fellow workers, their constant argument, their visible physical power and .their hourly taunts may not be enough to force out the De Armitt men. Without them the strike leaders themselves admit their fight for.a living wage to be hopeless, Sugene V. Debs talked to about §8 De Armitt men, 300 strikers and 100 spectators. He warned the men against drink, pointed out clearly to them that disorder was just what their opponents wished, and made a remarkably forcible demand for action. There are 1,200 determined men who wish to work. Two thousand desperate men wish to prevent them from working, and the iIrri- tating presence of hundreds of deputy mar- shals between the two forms a delicate situation. When hunger begins to bite there may be trouble. SYLVESTER SCOVEL. ILLINOIS MINERS’ CONVENTION. Call Issued for a Meeting at Spring- field, Aug. 5. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, July 3.—James M. Carson of O'Fallon, State President of the Miners’ Association, has issued a call for a State convention of miners, to be held in this city, Aug. 6, to adopt a union scale for mining coal in hand and machine mines and 'a corresponding rate for day work. The representation will be one delegate for every 100 miners or fraction thereof. Local unions will be allowed an extra vote. STAID IN THE PITS.

McLean, one of the best known turfmen in America, dropped dead at the Oakley track at Cincinnati yesterday just er his filly Taluca had won the Ohlo Stakes there. Mr. McLean's death Was un- doubtedly caused by the exciting finish in whicn followed. After Taluca crossed the wire, winner by a nose, and the jockeys ware dismounting, John Huffman, the St. Iajuis horseman. took advantage of the - ing clause in the conditions of the race and began to bid up Taluca, Mr. McLean's horee.

TALKED WITH THE “GENERAL.” The Latter Spends More Money for Trinkets, Goes to Murphysboro. and Carson “Bradley is here. Send money.” This significant telewram was sent from Telléville a few days ago, It was addressed t a prominent coal operator near Percy, lil. It was sent by A. O. Smith, a stranger. He was regarded as a spcottef, but had many earnest consultations with Gen. Alex Brad- ley, the self-styled leader of the striking coal miners tn Southern Lilinols. Bradley has e@ince received $50. @ queer tale to account for it. Smith, as he called himself, arrived in Belleville one Gay ahead of Bradley. He remained there until Bradley left for Du- quoin. He was a largé, heavy-set man, with a drooping mustache, He was plainly attired, but was evidently not a coal miner. Hie was impressed with the importance of his mission and acted so much like a stage detective that attention was drawn to him. lie sent a wereat many telegrams to Various points in the coal belt. He received money orders by telegraph and took bulging letters out of the postottiice, lie and Bradley quickly @ravitated to- gether. Smith wae in the telegraph office a few evenings ago when a Post-Dispatch re- vorter entered, The man of mystery had ritten a telegram. It was so illegible that the operator could searcely read it. She deciphered the words given above and read hem aloud before the man could stop her. le snatched it from her hands and tore it up. vie rewrote it and handed !t to her with a whispered injunction not to read it aloud. She could not read it aloud or any other way. “Tet me write it for you,” she said. Hie shook his head violently and made another effort. The scrawl was as unin- telligible as the others. “Does this go to Wellsville or Millsville?’’ the operator asked. Smith then went through another frantic pantomime and whispered to her to wait until the reporter had gone, am wa&s sent to Millsville, the From He tells The tele nearest telegraph station to Percy. there it was to forwarded. The mines around Percy are still working. The oper- ators are making money. hey profit by the strike of the Belleville men. The night Bradley went to Duquoin Smith was sitting on a truck at the Illinols Central Depot. A few minutes before the train arrived he disappeared. He has not been seen in Belleville since. It has been told how Bradley returned from Dugquoin with a roll of $50. He said it was given to him as a bribe to betray the miners. He said he would break his rumise and use it to advance thelr cause. ie gave the local union $0, and started out to get rid of the rest. Brad cut a wide swath in Belleville Thursday. He bought another gold watch and five more finger rings, making ten al- together. He put them all on, stuck a dia- mond in silk neglim@ee shirt and a silk hat on the back of his head. He wore a gorgeous artificial rose in hig button hole, and several gaudy trinkets were pinned to the lapel of his coat. Swin an. .umbrella with a ribbons _ tied he strode up and Main street a wonderful sicht. ie was followed by a crowd wherever he went. At every corner he would stop to ive somebody a chance to ask him a ques- ion. He would then discuss the strike with a great deal of pomposity and a lu- dicrous misuse of large words. His antics drew a large crowd to the Square én the evening. he attention he was receiving made him dizzy. He had announced that he would take a few hundred men out to Murphysboro on the night train, but at 8 o’clock he was still giving his perfOrmance and had made no arrangements. Shortly after State President Carson, Al Yaeger and others arrived from O'Fallon in a hack. District President John Green of Belleville hustled Carson to one side and told him of Bradley's conduct. Carson was astounded, At Green's earnest solicitation bunch he and Yaerer hurried to the depot and took the train for Murphysboro to head off Brad. ey. The latter was deta'ned at the Square un- til the train had gone. He took Carson's lace in the hack, with an armful of bun- les and boxes and began the journey over- land without .—yn? his clothes. The hack was full, but only a dozen or 6o fol- lowed behind. Bradley ordered a new sult of clothes Thursday, to cost $34. “These I am wearing will be worn out before me and Debs gets through liberating the people,” he said. “I want a new suit to go home in.”’ » @ also boughta linen duster and sent $100 ome, The Relleville miners have at las: “taken ¢ tumble’ to Bradley. They now repudiate im, and eay he never was their leader. They realize that he has hurt their cause, and if he comes back steps will be taken to suppress him. Few of them believe his story of how he got the money, State President Carson said before leav- ing that the Murphysboro men were ready to come out, but wanted some pressure to be brought to bear upon them. as they were i. ators. With the exception of a few places in the Southern Distr. the whole State was out. He was confident of success, Everything is quiet in Belleville. Bands of oan there are movin in different men all ~ ha, fa taking out the miners at sma aces, A dispatch from New Athens, fourteen miles beyond Belleville, says that Bradley reached there in the hack Friday morning. He took a train for Murphysboro from there, Before leaving he told the people a thousand men were coming beh'nd him in wagons and on foot. shipping of coal from Murphysboro would cgase in a day or two. He still had on his oadcloth and silk hat, had added another ring to his collection and was showing his large roll of bills. Phillip Voegle and Christ C. Macke of the Relier Committee sent owt by the coal miners in the Belleville district, are in Fast St. Louls soliciting money for the striking miners. They report much encouragement from business men and working classes on the East Side, and will make a thorough can- vases of the city. “The Belleville miners are working in- dependently of ‘Gen.’ Bradley In this fight,” said Mr. Voegle to a Post-Dispatch report- er. ‘‘We have our own strong organization and able leaders, and are prepared to look after our own interests in a business-like way. We have reports showing that nearly every mine In Illinots Is closed. The main exceptions are Duquoln, Murphysboro and Carterville, where 2.500 miners are em- ployed. We have assurances that not a mine in the State will be operated next Monday. Not a pound of coal is coming out of Indiana. The coal reaching East St. Lou's comes from Kentucky, and {s the product of negro and convict miners. That source, we are assured, will be cut off by Monday. “We are not sending detectives to East St. Louis nor anywhere élse to watch the coal supply. We know almost to a pound what it is without detectives.” A HANNIBAL FENCE HOUSE. - ——EE ————_ Frank Doyle Under Arrest on a Sensational Charge. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HANNIBAL, Mo., July 30.—Frank Doyle was arrested by Sheriff Pratt last evening on charge of knowingly and felontiously re- ceiving stolen goods, the warrant having been issued by Justice Smeathers on a com- Plaint and affidavit filed by Prosecuting At- torney H: Clay Heather. Doyle was ar- raigned before Judge Smeathers, waived a preliminary hearing and was held to await the action of the Grand-jury, his bond be- ing fixed at $1,000, which he promptly gave. Doyle is wealthy, but it has been sus- pected that he was running a “‘fence house”’ for a number of years. When Ike Hutchin- son, a negro, was arrested a few days ago for burglary and larceny he told that he had deposited the stolen goods with Mr. Doyle and the goods were afterwards found in Doyle's possession, although he at first denied knowing anything about them. It is also claimed that his saloon is the head- quarters for thieves and robbers and that plans are concocted there to steal and rob. A quantity of silverware was found at Doyle’s saloon a few years ago that be- longed to C. G.. Price, and this affair cost him over $1,000. The feeling against him in Hannibal is very bitter. Whose goods will you buy? Those of firms that do business by daylight or those of obscure and irresponsible persons? Look out for imposition. Get what you ask for. BOWLER’S RULING. Deputy United States Marshals Cannot Hold Over. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3#0.—Comp- troller Bowler has made an important rul- ing. . District judges in West Virginia and North Carolina and Illino)s havestopped the new marshals from appointing their own deputies, deciding that the old deputies are protected by the civil service law and must be retained. Comptroller Bowler over- rules the district judges in a sweeping opin- ion. He holds that deputy marshals are personal appointees of the marshal and go out of office when he goes, amd that old deputy marshals can not continue in office under new marshals unless reappointed and sworn tn again. Furthermore, he directs that the disbursing officer can not y the old deputies unless thus Neappeinted. ENGLAND IS WILLING. Official Statement That She Will Join in a Monetary Conference. WASHINGTON, D. C., July %.—Official information just received in Washington indicates that Great Britain will consent to join in an international monetary con- ference to be held in this city next winter. This information is a confirmation of the cable dispatches from London published a few days agro, which stated that Great Britain's representatives had received the proposition of the United States envoys more favorably than had been expected. Armor Offers Declined. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.—Secretary Long has rejected the offer of the armor companies to supply the diagonal armor for the three battleships, Alabama, Wisconsin and Illinols, now building, at a price to be fixed hereafter by the Navy Department itself. The companies made this offer under the impression that, as the armor of this kind is entirely within the hull and super- structure of the ships, the failure of the Government to procure it would stop the work of the shipbullders entirely, Secretary Long, however, has found that it will be possible to go on with the work of building the ships and allow the armor to be placed later on. Another McKinley in Office. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 30.—B. F. McKinley, uncle of President McKinley, was appointed Assistant Postmaster of this city to-day by Postmaster Montague. He prom'sed that the} ORPHANS RUN’ AWAY, SS eR Brother and Sister Take Uncere- monious Leave of the Chris- tian Home. DISAPPEARED A WEEK AGO. Search for Them Has Been Per- sistent, but No Trace Has Been Found. Charlie and Mamie Dolphus, 12 and 10 years old, orphans, are causing Miss Edith Williamson, matron of the Christian Or- phans’ Home, no end of trouble and anx- iety because of their disappearance. They have been gone a week and no trace of them has been found. When they left the Instl- tution they wore the uniform of the home, but no such children have been picked up by the police. Six weeks ago a lady, one of the receiving committee for the home, whose name the matron refuses to give, recommended that Charlie and Mamie be taken into the insti- tution. At the time they were living with their stepfather, Joseph Clark, at 1729 Frank- lin avenue. With them was also living an older sister, Lizzie, who was working in a factory down town. The lady of the receiv- ing committee said the children had been neglected since the death of their mother a few months. before and that they were ragged and were fast becoming urchins of the streets. Miss Williamson took the children in and they seemed to be happy in the home. But Charlie was naturally unruly; he would tell a fib when the truth would have been bet- ter, and was in for any kind of mischief. He had not been in the home long when an eruption on his face showed symptoms of septicemia, and Miss big manners m,) took him to the Martha Parsons Hospital. He ran away from there three times, returning each time to the Orphans’ Home, and he would tell Miss Williamson that the matron at the hospital had discharged him as cured. She would take him back and find out that he had run away. But with all his faults he loved his eister. He thought there was no one like Mamie. About the home she was his constant com- panion, and many were the quarrels and spats he had with the other boys and girls who were unkind to hie sister. Their sister Lizzie called freuqently at the home to see them and on each visit would remain and hour or more. Charlie and Mamie were greatly attached to Lizzie. Sunday before last she called on them and promines to return the next Thursday and ake them to visit an aunt, living in South St. Louis. She did not come, and the children’s dis- appointment found vent in crying. e@ ma- tron felt sorry for them and Friday morn- ing she gave them a penny and told them to gO to the grocery, a block and a half away, and get a stick of candy. They left the home, hand in hand, and started off in the direction of the store. That was the last seen of them by Miss Willlamson. When they had been gone a half hour she went out to look for them. They had not been at the grocery and no one she found had seen them. Thinking that they might have gone back to Clark’s home on Franklin avenue, Miss Williaméon went there. But the house was vacant and the neighbors said that Clark and Lizzie had moved away a month ago, no one knew where. The matron continued her search until she found a woman keeping a rooming-house at 1922 Morgan street who had rented a room that day to a girl answering Lizzie’s de- scription, to be occupied Saturday. Mss Willitamson called Saturday, but the gir] had not then arrived nor has she been to the room since. The police were notified of the disappear- ance of the children and although a descrip- tion of them has been telephoned to all Oliece stations in the city, nothing has been 1eard of them. The children have several aunt’s living In the city and Miss Williamson believes that they are with one of them, but she does not know any of their names or where they live. When the Christian Orphans’ Home took Charlie and Mamie Dolphus, Clark signed an agreement whereby he and all the rela- ives of the children forfeited all claims on them. Miss Williamson says that holding the children are ae the law and can be prosecute pers, The lady who recommended the children to the home is at work on the case and has assured Miss Williamson that she will be able to find them before long. STOPPED THE PLATE, But Bernard McEnroe’s Demented Wife Threw With Great Force. Maggie McEnroe, who has been in the Asylum for the Insane, and was supposed to be cured, threw a plate at one of her children while eating supper at her home. 1419 South Third street, Thursday night. Her husband, Bernard McEnroe, stopped the plate with his hand and one of his fin- gers was badly gashed. Mrs. McEnroe was so wild that when the ambulance cameé she was taken with her husband to the Dispensary. His hand was dressed, and she was sent to the City Hos- pital for observation. The couple have six children. whoever is SO against as kidnap- NOTE! On Account of the Exceedingly Low Prices in This Sale, : We Cannot Spend a Large Amount of Money on Advertis- ing.

JUST WHAT WAS EXPECTED. Julius Wurzburger and Chris Schawacker Are In and Capt. Macklind Is Out. After halting all day Thursday and caus- ing doubt as to what he would do, Street Commissioner Milner went to the rack like a good little man at the eleventh hour and submitted his appointments to the Mayor for the reorganization of the Street De- partment under the Wittenberg bill. The Mayor promptly sent the names to the Council, and they were confirmed. As the Commissioner declared early that he had not prepared the roster and left his office not to return that day, it is not known how the Mayor received the list, but it is said he had it in his pocket before the bill was ever signed by the Speaker of either House. There are very few new names and no surprises in the appointments. It was fore- shadowed in the Post-Dispatch when the bill for reorganization was first introduced that Julius Wurzburger would be the As- sistant Street Commissioner, and that the proposéd fourth district was to make a fat berth for the Mayor’s other lieutenant, Chris Schawacker. One of the most radical changes wrought by the new Dill is the elimination of Capt Thomas H. Macklind as general superin- tendent of street cleaning and repairs. That office is abolished. Capt. Macklind has been a familiar figure in the street service for nearly twenty-five years. He has been turned out to grass. The duties of the Assistant Commissioner are not prescribed except that he shall be the Commissioner in the absence of his chief. The new appointments are: Assistant treet Commissioner—Julius W urzburger. Superintendents—First District, Henry — Alt; Second District, John B. Owens; Third District, Christopher Schawacker; Fourth District, William J. Broeker. R. L. Little, Secretary. Charles B. Morgan, principal bookkeeper. Julius G. D. Bischoff, dr tae clerk. John J.

Commissioner Milner devoted much time Friday to explaining why he held up the street department appointments Thursday and caused the Mayor to fume and fret and Julius Wurzgburger to wriggle and prance between his office and that of the Mayor. “T had been given to understand by the Civic Federation and Taxpayers’ League officers,"’ said Mr. Milneré ‘that there would be an injunction suit against the Wittenberg bill and I proposed-to give them a chance to inaugurate their fight. The Mayor had sent me word that he wanted the appoint- - ——— ments by 8 a. m. My first Intention was to remain away from my office, Dut I con- cluded to come down at 9:30 and went straight to the Mayor and told him what J was expecting. The Mayor said: ‘Oh, don’t paygany attention to those fellows, but ibe me your list and we'll settle the whole ness before they can turn a_ hand “I refused to do this and as i as I remained at the office Wurzburger jumped up and down before me in nervous expectancy until I grew nervous myself and went home to wak, for I had promised the people who had threatened the injunc- tion to be where they could find me quick. ‘“T waited until 2 o’clock, but they never showed up. Then I sent to my office for the roster instructing the clerk to see if the Mayor would O. K. the names on it before he sent it out. “The Mayor never made a scratch on my , and I sent it back to him. I want to say in this connection that there Was no previous conference between the Mayor and myself on the appointments. The reason I did not rename Sol ehm its because I knew there would be a fight on him and I wanted to avoid that.’’ Julius Wurzburger took charge as Assist- ant Street Commissioner Friday and he wag shaking hands with everybody who came his way. Wurzburger succéeds August Rauschenbach. The latter is an experienced engineer, and the position has alw here- tofore required such an incumbent, for he is the executive officer of the department, and is supposed to have much more to do wih the practical work of the office than the Comm /'ssioner.

There was a wild runaway on Jefferson evenue a few minutes before midnight Thursday. It was followed by the arrest of a young man who meade a daring at- tempt at rescue and against whom the only charge eremed to be that he would not stop while on his mission of heroism. A horse that has won several purees on the race track was attached to a epider buggy standing in front of the Savoy, Jef- ferson avenue and Olive street. The occu- pant of the rig was a young woman, dressed in white, and she was eveidently waiting for her companion who was in the saloon. The racer became restive and she called for the man to hurry. In response out came Con Frazier, a well-known man about town. He lighted a cigar, put before jumping into the rig he took the reins from his fair com- pPanion'’s hands. Feeling the increased pressure on the bit the animal obeyed what it believed to be a signal and started. Frazier was almost thrown from his feet, but managed to hold fast the reins and for nearly a block he ran @liongside the buggy shouting ‘“‘Whoa!"’ to the horse. Several persons ran into the road. Their cries frightened the thoroughbred and it ewung into a run. . At Pine street and Jefferson avenue Fra- gier wae lifted off his feet, turned a sumer- fault and landed near the curb. He was bruised, but picked himself up and darted after the rapidly disappearing rig. The ehrieks of the woman caused windows on Jefferson avenue and adjacent street® to be thrown open and in a moment hundreds of persons were following Frazier’s foot- steps. The runaway had swung into the track on the eanet side of the street. A north-bound car was approaching and everybody thought there would be a collision at Mar- ket atreet. Rut just as the headlight on the car fhone bright in the face of the affrighted woman, so plainly that those who were near could see that her features were beautiful, the old racer swerved, the spider was dragged from between the rails and as the right hand hubs grazed the car, off it sped along Jefferson avenue. At the time Fragier’s rig started on the wild run another carriage was standing in front of the Savoy. It had been driven by Frank Stalen, of Garrison and Clark ave- nues. Attracted by the ehrieks of the woman Btalen ran out and as he appeared some one in the crowd called: “Save her, Frank. Go after her in your buggy.” The young man jumped into his carriage,. lashed his horse into a gallop, and a secon rig was going at a furious pace south on Jefferson avenue. A policeman next appeared on the scene. Patrolman Murphy heard the outcry, and came on the run down Chestnut street. He arrived at Jefferson avenue in time to see Stalen’s horse galloping like mad toward Bim. The officer jumped into the street and tried to stop the animal. BStalen, bent, on his rescue, slashed at him with a whip and continued on. , The policeman then added to the general excitement by firing a shot in the air. ° At the Randolph street approach to the Jefferson avenue bridge the woman behind the runaway turned around and saw Stalen Mea’s Linen multitude of buyers as our Great Dump Sale No. 5, which start- Crash Sults, ed this morning.

Mear at hand. Encouraged by his proximity she jumped, rolled over a few times, then picked herself Up, apparently little the worse for the wild ride, save a scratch on her forehead. Stalen was at her side in an instant and then Frazier ran up. It was evident that the latter wished to conceal the identity of his companion, for the two got aboard a car and were away from the scene before the police arrived. Stalen was about to get into his buggy @gain when Policeman Mutfphy appeared, panting like a porpoise. He selzed the young man by the arm and in spite of his protestations took him to the Beventh District police station. A reporter for the Post-Dispatch met the policeman as he was returning to his beat. “What did you arrest Stalen for,’ was ed. “Fast driving.” he replied. “Don't you know he was trying to save - young woman - . “Well, he swore at me.” When the friends of the young man heard of his arrest they hurried to the police sta- tion and explained to the night Sergeant that “vy! had ur@ed Stalen to give chase and that his apparently reckless driving was Justified. The Sergeant agreed with them and the prisoner was released at 1 o'clock Friday morning. At the Seventh District Station Friday morning it was denied that anybody con- nected with the runaway or chase had been arrested. The police said they had not learned the Mame of the woman. ‘ Frazier’s horse continued its run across Jefferson avenue bridge to Chouteau aven- ue, where it stopped. The spider was not damaged. PLOT AGAINST NICHOLAS. The Czar’s Mother Was in the Scheme to Practically Depose Him. ST. PETERSBURG, July 39.—Sensationa) developments have come to light regarding & reoont plot which aimed to practically Gepose the Czar. It is said the Csar’s mother, the Dowager Empress, was at the head of the conspiracy, in which the most influential court dignitaries, among them Count Worongoff Dashkoff, and also Pobie- donosceff, the Procurer of the Holy Synod, are said to have been implicated. It was to be suggested to the Czar that he should undertake a long journey abroad, nd that during his absence his mother, the Jowager Empress, should act as Regent. The plot was revealed to the Czar, how- ever, and thus frustrated. The Czar’s mother will take a long trip to Copenhagen. Eloped With a Married Man.

JOINED BY MEN AND WOMEN. Snarers of Wandering Canines Hunted Out of the Neighbdor- hood by an Angry Mob. The residents of Chouteau place witnessed an assault on three dog catchers and their wagon Thursday afternoon that began on Labadie avenue near Prairie, and did not cease until the wagon disappeared out Ken- nerly avenue, going as fast as the horses could travel. The men on the wagon were struck many times by stones and sticks and other missiles, but did not appear to be seriously hurt. Chouteau place is the home of many fine dogs, especially coursing greyhounds, and each afternoon the owners take them out on the big lawns and let them run and romp. Among them are such well-known hounds as Fleetfoot, Gossamer and Ace of Spades. Dog catchers are not welcome in Chouteau place. The dog catchers’ wagon, with three men on the seat, passed Carroll's store at St. Loule and Vandeventer avenues about 4 o'clock, going north. They: turned east on Labadie and when near Prairte a lot of boys, who had been fiying kites, dropped their sport, leaving their kites to float away, and asseiled the dog catchers with stones. The men turned the wagon about and started west in pursuit of the boys. Men and women came to the assistance of the boys and all pelted the wagon with what- ever they could pick up. One of the men in the seat was struck fn the back by sharp-cornered stone and the pain caused him to reel and fall back over the cage of captured brutes. Seeing that resistance was useless the driver whipped up the horses. But they were followed by the crowd and were kept busy dodging the missiles hurled at them. The wagon turned south on Warne ave- nue and then west on Kennerly. There the pursuers became exhausted and gave up the chase. It was eaid that tf the crowd had caught up with the wagon the impris- oned dogs would have been released. $12.00 to Put-in-Bay and Return Via Wabash, ; Augwet éth.

Joseph Bonk, the boat maker who ap- peared as a witness against Caspar Krump in the Hansen-Krump feud, says a mistake has been made. It was stated that Mr. Bonk had gone to New Jersey with his savings to buy green goods. Bonk says it was Krump and not he. “That is our great joke on Casper,”’ says Bonk. “I told the story, that is true, but it was no ton myself I told it, it was on Caspar Krump.

Long as Assistant Priest. FATHER TOOMEY GOES AWAY. Numerous Changes Ordered by Archbishop Kain Before He Sailed. Vicar General Muehlsiepen declined to say Friday morning whether the list of changes in the diocese now being circulated among the clergy is correct.He insisted that he had nothing to do with the reformation of dio- cesan affairs connected with the relocation of the priests. Still, it is unofficially true that Archbishop Kain, just prior to his departure for Rome, prepared a list of transfers which shouid take place on the first of August. Father J. Toomey, assistant to Father John T. Tuohy of St. Patrick's parish, has, it is said, been appointed priest at Farming- ton, Mo., and will be succeeded by Father J. J. Long of St. John’s. Father Toomey has long been a thorn in the flesh of Father Tuohy and the latter is giad his assistant is to be sent away and doubly glad his suc- cessor is a priest who speaks Italian flu- ently, as there are many sons and daughters of sunny Italy in St. Patrick's parish, to whom little attention has heretofore been paid. This movement restores harmony and secures Father Tuohy in hig position as the priest of St. Patrick's. : Fr. William L. Shea will go to 6t. Kevin's as assistant to his uncle, Fr. Edward J. Shea, who is spending the summer in Eu- pe. . he. Tettemer of St. Kevin's es to the Holy Name as assistant to Fr. Fallon. Fr. Michael D. Tierney is assigned as as- sistant to Fr. Daniel J. Lavery of the Holy moses: Fr. Flaherty is given the place of assistant to Fr. Edward Fenlon of the Church of the Visitation. The two last named, Frs. Flaherty and Tierney, are but recently ordained, and come to St. Louis as graduates of Carlow College, Ireland. : The vacancy in 8t. John's occasioned by the transfer of Father Long of St. Patrick's will probably be filled by the appointment of Father Riley, who has been displaced from Farmington, Mo., to make way for Father Tuohy. Of this there is no certainty, and it is only put forward as @ suggestion in order that no injustice may be done. Father ae an old friend of Father Tuohy, the latter had requested the Archbishop to name an assistant for him who would be acceptable to the parish in a marked degree and at the same time be able have brought with them to this country their midnight street processions incident to the commemoration of the Immaculate Concep- tion and were denied the use of St. Patrick's Church at night until Father Tuohy became this list of changes, he does not deny Its authenticity, and is only chagrined to find the information was talked about amon the priests before the official announcemen was made, READY FOR THE ROAD.

Sent From One Official to An- other and None Can Find a Way to Aid Him- William Hendricks is one of the angriest men in town, also one of the most puzzied, and his appreciation of the difference be- tween law and justice has increased great- ly within three days. Mr. Hendricks ts minus $% worth of fur- niture, and, although he knows where it is stored and sees it daily, he finds himeelf unable to regain possession by legal pro- cess, even though he produces witnesses to swear that it was wrongfully taken from him. Hendricks owns a tenement at 718 North Bleventh street, which he rented two months ago to Max Grossman. Grossman sub-let the rooms to Beckie Franklin. The furniture therein was the property of Hen- dricks. Grossman fell behind in his rent, Hendricks says, but he was allowed to re- main on hie promise to pay up this week. Monday, when Hendricks called at the house, he found that the Franklin woman had moved and that all the furniture had been taken away. He discovered the chat- tele in a stable in the rear of the house, but when he attempted to remove them the ~ Prietor of the stable objected, —s he had purchased the furniture from the Franklin woman for $10. Hendricks says he learned also that the woman had piaced a chattel mortgage oD the property for $15, previous to selling it. Hendricks then tri to recover his prop- erty. He called upon Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson, who told him he was oWerless to assist him, and referred him to t. Joyce of the Fourth Police District for redress. Capt.
