In Her Suit for Separation She Names Miss Beatrice Win- ship as Co-Respondent. THE TWO WOMEN FRATERNIZE. Mrs. Reid Was Formerly Miss Bertha Westbrook of St. Louis, Where Her Parents Live. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 4—Mrs. Hal Reid, daughter of Col. H. W. Westbrook, lawyer and politician of St. Louls, is the hero’ne of @ most remarkably complicated divorce case here. A demand by this unhappy wife for police protection from her husband, from whom ehe is seeking a divorce, brought out the in- teresting fact that the young girl who is mamed as co-respondent, who claims that she was deserted as soon as her health re- quired that she should have the best atten- tion, is now being cared for by the very woman who has accused her. Desire to make such poor restitution as was in her power led the deserted girl to call on the wronged woman. Pity for the young girl in her destitute and friendless condition led the wife to take her ‘nto her home and provide for her neces- sit les. Suit has been brought for divorce on the etatutory grounds by Mrs. Bertha Reid from her husband, Ha] Reid, dramatic author and actor, naming as co-respondent _M.s8s Beatrice Winship. Mrs. Reid and Miss Winship are the two Women who, wi.h every reason for keeping apart, have so strangely been brought to- gether, and who, after having formed so un- usual a friendship, have one great aim in common—the freeing of the wife from. any tiles which now bind her to the man whom they both denounce. Mrs. Keid is an actress. On the stage she is known by her maiden name of Bertha Westbrook. Miss Winship is the stage name of the young woman. She is a daughter of Mrs. . J. Clement of Philadelphia, whose ene is connected with the Standard Oi! 0. Miss Winship is petite, with blue eyes and golden hair. These two women told a Post-Dispatch reporter the story of how they had been wronged by the same man. “I had no reason to suspect my husband until last March, when we were playing to- ‘ther at the Galety Theater in Williams- urg in ‘Broken Hearte,’ a play which my husband wrote, and in which we took the leyding parts. “l opened a letter for him: there which came from Mr. Beyer, the proprietor of the St. Clair Hotel in Detroit, inclosing an item- ized account showing that $50 was spent for eleven days’ board for Miss Winship and for her car-fare to New York.” “Yes,"’ interrupted Miss be here A 4 “Mr. Reid met me at the telephone in the h Was too short to reach the telephone and 6 sent a message for me. We became well acquainted. “I felt from the very first that he had ypnotized me. He told me that the woman now know as his wife was only the lead- 8 lady in the company. I found out after Mr, Reld brought me here,”’ said Miss Winship, “that he was mar- ried. He told me his wife had brought suit for divorce, and he promised to marry me @s 600n as she had obtained it. “When he was sick I took him to my other's home in Philadelphia and nursed im. While he was there he borrowed $20 of my mother and my relatives. “He fixed the date of our marriage for Wednesday, May 5. Then he put it off untill August, and then he went to Minneapolis. From there he wrote this letter to me.”’ Mrs. Reld also got letters from her hus- band about the same time. These letters Were written, Mrs. Reld sald. in the at- emot to get her to take her husband back. e returned to New York and persisted in following her up. She refused to have any- ing to do with him. “He has often tried to get in here since ZI took this flat. Last Saturday night he succecded in slipping in after the boy who elivered groceries. He called for me and iss Winship heard him. She slipped be- ind a hanging curtain. Mr. Reid tried to et me to return to him. I told him he had tter go to the girl he had wronged. “He said then that he had paid her $700 live with him, eo 1 would have good cause r divorce. That was too much for Miss nship, and she ran out from behind the Gurtain and confronted Reid. “She had a revolver in her hand. It as not loaded, but she pointed {t at Red. 6 confessed having wronged both of us." Mrs. Reid had bought the rights to the . er of “Human Hearts.” © parts had been given by Reid to Miss inship. She heard that Mrs. Red had ught them, and last week she called on her © turn over to her the property. It was then that Mra. Reid found the gir's friends had left her to make her own way @n acoount of Reid's actions, and she sym- posned with her so deeply as to take her to her own home. ‘I will go on the stand and tell every- hing I know,” said the young girl to the *Ost-Dispatch correspondent. ach of the women looked lovingly into he other's face.

MURDERESS IS LOCKED UP. In Her Insanity She Manifested Special Antipathy to Her Mother. THE FATHER HAD FEARS. Coroner’s Inquest Over the Body of Mrs. Hauptman, Slain by Her Daughter. Louisa Hauptman, who cut her mother’s throat with a butcher knife Tuesday after- /noon, wae locked in a cell at Central Police Station at 11 a. m. Wednesday to wait until the. Probate Court can issue an order to confine her in an insane asylum. Coroner Wait’s jury Wednesday found that Mrs. Christina Henrietta Hauptman MRS. CHRISTINA HAUPTMAN. came to her death at the hands of her daughter Louisa, whom the jury believed to be demented. Therefore Dr. Wait ordered the young woman's detention by the police until the courts can order her transfer to an asylum. Loulsa was accompanied to the cell by her sister, Mrs. Windsheimer, who wept bitterly over the Incarceration. In some manner the officer and Mrs. Windsheimer and Louisa became separated from the other witnesses after the inquest, and it was not until afternoon that the father and brother knew that Louisa had been placed otel. |under the protection of the police. Later she was arraigned before Judge Murphy on a charge of homicide and bond MET DEATH I THE VER JS Frank Collins and Jos. Kelley Drowned by the Capsizing of a Rowboat. COMRADES ESCAPE NARROWLY. Capt. Stutterman and Crew of the Minnetonka Rescue Two Survivors. SWEPT UNDER A BARGE FLEET. The Dead and Their Companions Belonged to the Crew of the Mississippi, Moored Across the River. Frank Collins and Joseph Kelley of the crew of the steamer Mississippi were drowned in the river at the foot of Kansas street at 10 o’clock Tuesday night. John Metz and Henry Humeal were wit- nesses to the accident and narrowly escaped death. Collins was 50 years old, cook on the Mis- sissippi, and lived at 1502 Olive street. Kelley was 930 years old, a deck hand, and lived near the Mar:ne Hospital. Metz and Humeal are also deck hands. The steamboat was tied at the Illinols shore opposite the Kansas street landing. The four men had been in the city and were starting to row back to their boat. Kelley had the oars and they were not more than 100 feet from the shore when he got his oars tangled. The skiff was close to a fleet of government barges then and the current swept the skiff against the barges, Being unable to use the oars the skiff was unmanageable in the powerful stream, It drifted against the barges, and, overturn- ing, was drawn under. The four men found themselves in the water battling with the current. Though they were expert swim- mers, they were unable to cope with it, and were drawn under the barges. The bodies of Collins and Kelley were not re- covered. John Metz, one of the men rescued, told the circumstances to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, “The Mississippi! is commanded by Capt. Grant Marsh,’ he said, “and works for the grain commission men between Pine street and Kansas street. The fleet of barges under which my two companions were drowned and I came so nearly losing my life, is used by the Mississippi River Commission, “When we realized that the boat was overturning, we all sprang into the river, shouting for help at the time. The Min- and her crew saw our boat capsize. Stutterman had a boat put out at once, and after Humeal and I had swam under the entire fleet of barges, and come up on the other side, almost exhausted, we were a by the captain and dragged into the Oat. “Though we were almost drowned we rowed around for half an hour waiting for the appearance of Collins and Kelley. We wa'ted in vain, however, and their bodies have not been seen. It was impossible to rescue them and I consider the escape of Humeal and myself almost a miracle.” Metz !s 35 years old, single and lives at 8108 Ivy avenue.

The dog was a big yellow beast, with a black, flat face, big mouth, sharp teeth and cord-like muscles showing through his tough hide at every motion. He belonged to the driver of a beer wagon, who was delivering his day’s supply at the Sheridan House, at the intersection of Easton, Franklin and Leffingwell avenues, j While his master wae busy the dog went on a trip around the neighborhood. Among the sights he came across was another yel- low dog that seemed to have a strain of the bull in his blood, mixed plentifully with a strain of the fox terrier, which is likewise a game fighter. The two aogs spent figuratively knocking chips off each other's shoulders. They worked their way, snapping , and snarling, half a block down Frank- lin avenue, until they came directly in the street car tracks as they make the turn from Franklin avenue across Easton to Wash street. . Right here the dogs fought and fought desperately. A Suburban street car was coming, and the motor man clanged hie Bystanders shied stones at the comba- tants, but the dogs wouldn’t get out of the way. As the car came nearer the wily terrier sprang away from his foe and ran to the sidewalk. The bull rushed after him, and the terrier turned and started as if to renew the fight. Then the bull deliberately backed into the middle of ‘the street car tracks and defied his antagonist to come on. The street car came nearer and the bull dog by now was angry enough to have tackled the big red monster of wood and iron that was closing in on him, The fox terrier made one more pass a6 if to Jump on the bulldog, but the ‘bull stood his ground. The next moment the car struck hie. He fall toward the righthand rail and the car wheels passed over his body at the shoulders.

The bull dog uttered two or three yolpe. kicked his hind legs into the air and e The terrier gave a giance at his dying adversary and sped south on Leffingwel avenue as fast as his legs would take him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 4.—Samuel Parker, who was Minister of Foreign Af- fairs in Queen Lilioukalanf’s Cabinet, ar- rived from Honolulu on the Belgic. He said: “If annexation is defeated, Hawail will put her foot down. She will then be ready to negotiate with Japan, England or any other country. About ome-fourth of the population of the islands is Japanese; many of them soldiers, it is rumored. I do not think Japan will do anything until the an- nexation and treaty quest.ons have been settled by the United States.” For some days past the battleship Oregon has been under steam awaiting orders to sail. The Monadnock is ready to put to sea on quick notice. At Mare Island the Charleston is being put in readiness for im- mediate service. Poss'ble complications in Hawaii, it is supposed, are the cause of this activity. TWO KILLED, SIX INJURED. A Wagon Containing a Farmer's Family Struck by a Train. MIDDLETOWN, N.

One of the children was instant y killed, another died soon after the accident,. and other members of the family are not ex-| pected to survive.

After Unavailing Efforts to Re suscitate the Lad His Body Was Removed to the Morgue. George Taylor, 12 years old, lost his life in Capt. Clark’s Natatorium at 11:10 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was the youngest son of John B. Taylor of 6607 Bartmer avenue, formerly superintendent of the Laclede Gas Coa. The little fellow accompanied some of his playmates to the Natatorium to see them take their first swimming lesson from Prof. Clark. ' While his two companions were in the water splashing about and enjoying them- selves the temptation was too much for little George. He secured bathing trunks and went into the water. It was ladies’ day at the Natatorium, and about twenty ladies were swimming and taking their lessons from the instructors. No children over 12 years of age are per- mitted in the water with the ladies, so all the boys swimming or bathing Wednesday morning were little tads under that age. The water in the pool gradually deepens, two feet every twenty feet out to deep water. Thirty or forty little boys were paddling J -_—™ = | y| s 4 : - (ge ae f/ ‘we ~ .

Smith's response was to curse the bystand. ers and cut the horse twice on the lip. The poor beast was in excruciating pain and moaned pitifully. Mason picked up a wagon stake and made ‘for the negro, who advanced on the white man with his bloody knifa At’this juncture Patrolman Thornhill ar- rived.

It Has Fallen From 340 Cars Daily to About 42 Cars Now. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 4.—The striking miners gained another victory at Plum Creek this morning by inducing twenty more men to join the ranks. All of them were diggers. This leaves the mine work- ing with about half the force of yesterday. The full force of that mine is 340 men, Be- fore the campers came fhe output wes from 120 to 140 cars a day. The output ves- terday was 39 cars. With twenty more men out to-day the output is not expected to exceed 20 cars. The complete closing of the mine may be expected in a very few days. The campers at Sandy Creek had little to do. The mine is to all intents and ptr- poses shut down. The output is not more than two cars a day. The capacity of the mine has been 100 cars a aay. There has been no change at Oak Hill. A statement made by the minere that only two men were working may be true. The demonstration against De Armitt has had the effect of decreasing the capacity of his its of 340 cars to 42 cars, with the proba- ility of it being further reduced. One of the notable features of the strike of the miners has been the absence of ef- fort by the operators to get their miners to work. There has been no meeting by then to consider the situation, nor have there been any attempts to start mines with new men. This was explained to-day by an ope- rator who said he is satisfied to have the strike continue until January, as he has enough coal to last him or can get it at prices which will enable him to make a profit. Some of the rail operators have plenty of coal, one producer claiming to have not less than 200,000 tons available for his contracts and others can buy coal at a price almost as low as they can produce it. uling prices are 75 cents f. o. b., cars at shipping point for run of the mine and $1 to $1.25 for screened coal. LOSING COURAGE. Strike Leaders Make Little Headway in West Virginia. WHEELING, W. Va., Aug. .4.—Except in the Fairmont region where J. W. Rae and Joseph Wood appear to be making some headway the strike leaders are losing courage. The strike in the Kanawha Val- ley is a failure thus far while in the New River region there has been but little to lend encouragement. On the Norfolk & Western there is nothing to indicate that a Strike was ever ordered. The disorder at Corinth last night leads to the fear that serious trouble may follow an attempt to arrest the foreigners who. were mixed up in it.. There is a feud be- tween the Italian and Hungarian miners and since they have taken the opposite on the strike they are decidedly dangerous. Miners Go Out in Iowa. OTTUMWA, Io., Aug. 4—A_ thousand miners employed at the coal shafts here have struck. They demanded 8 cents and $1 from the operators. The latter granted the 80-cent rate, but refused to bind them- selves to the winter prices. The men at several Centerville, Rathbone and Forbush | were members of the Pope’s Theater stock company.

Four Men Arrested Last Week and No Warrants Issued. “My wife is poisoned! Help! Help!’ frantically exclaimed William Grousblatt of 1316 Biddle street, as he rushed,into the Fourth District Police Station shortly be- fore midnight. With the frantic husband was his pretty 23-year-old wife, Aggie. The woman was hastily conveyed to the Dispensary. An examination by the do*- tors showed no indication of poison. “Mrs. Louis Plotz, who lives next door to us, gave my wife a glass of water,’’ said Grousblat® “and I believe it con- tained poison,”’ Back of this sensational episode ts a Bid- dle street domestic drama, which may yet evolve a tragedy. . Mrs. Grousblatt is conceded to be the pret- tiest woman for blocks around, Therein lies a reason for jealousy. It is related that Biddle street dames cast ‘envious glances at Mrs. Grousblatt, and her husband is said to be extremely jealous of his wife. It is said that he suspects his next- door neighbor, Louis Plotz, of paying un- due atention to Mrs. Grousblatt. Mrs. Plotz hearing such report, would naturally be presumed to take part in the play. Therefore, when Mrs. Plotz gave Mrs. Grousblatt a drink of water Tuesday night, G!ousbiatt, who is a devoted husband, jumped to the eonelusion that- the water giving’ was a sinister proceeding. rolis and hej tried to walk to the hall to get air.

Evidence of out-door sleeping is found in the police reports at the Four Courts. Albert Kunigh, a tailor 41 years old, living at 2088 South Second street, restlessly tossed on his bed until nearly midnight. The in- tense heat kept him from sleeping. He went to the roof.

She ran into her house and slammed the front door in the face of her adversary. The upper half of the door is glass. Mrs. Streiss was so enraged that ehe thrust her arm through the glass door in a wild attempt to. reach Mrs. Warracea. And this is how Mrs. Streiss’ arm happens the police intend to do with them. These men were arrested last Saturday on a charge of having swindled a farmer named John Sponcler of Central, Mo., of $10 on a crooked dice game. The alleged swindle occurred in a saloon on Fourteenth and Chestnut streets. The prisoners, Adam Osthelmer, Ernst Weber and Tom McCarthy, were locked up in the holdover from 11 o’clock Saturday morning until noon Monday. Capt. O'Mal- ley had not placed a charge against them at that time, expecting that Sponcler would try to sWear out g Warrant against them. The friends. of the prisoners, however, suc- ceeded in persua@ing Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler to accept bond for them. Five days have passed since the men were arrested, yet there has been no charge placed agains’. them, and they are in ignor- ance Of the offense for which they were seized. The prisoners have reported regu- larly each day to Capt. Huebler, but the latter has no knowledge of any charge against them. Wednesday, when the men reported to the sheriff's office for the third time, Capt. Huebler told them he was weary of the game. He told them he would send for them whenever he needed them and bade them go about their bus'tness.

City Counselor Marshall and Attorney Lehman made clear in yesterday's Post- Dispatch the grave proposition involved in the mandamus proceedings to compel President Meter of the Council to sign the North and South street railway bill. The novel menace of the promoters of an unborn corporation presuming on the rights and interests of an uncompleted legislative grant to attempt through the courts to control the action of a branch of the legislature was clearly pointed out. The legal proposition is profoundly in- teresting and deeply concerns the peo- ple, but that is a matter to be dealt with by the courts. The people-must accept the decision of the courts as to the law of the case until a new law is created. But apart from the legal problem, the Proceedings suggest a popular issue. They emphasize the arrogant interfer- ence of the promoters of private enter- prise in the conduct of public business. Of right the action of the municipal legislature or of the presiding officers of either of its branches concerns the general public. The interests of the peo- ple ought to be paramount. The refusal of the President of the Council to sign @ bill because of the falsification of the record or the impropriety of its manner of passage is an act of public service, the propriety of Which should be deter- mined from the standpoint of public pol- icy. But in this case the promoters of a cor- porate franchise of great value go into court before the grant has been com- pleted or the corporation is in existence and ask it to aid them in securing the profitable grant by compelling a public officer, against his conscience and the advice of the City Counselor, to perform an official act for their benefit. Having induced two branches of the municipal legislature to use thetr powers, regardless of law or public policy, to con- fer upon them a franchise of enormous value, these promoters ask a court to compel other branches to complete the wrong. The people are deeply Interested In knowing if a combine of promoters and legislators can, regardless of the organic law of the city and the will and con- science of co-ordinate branches of the government, “jam through” schemes of loot. They are deeply interested in knowing if, under the law, promoters can use the courts as instruments to legiti- matize falsified records, to break in un- manageable officials and remove all ob- stacles to the consummation of boodle deals, Si i i Se os In the Indian dialéct, Klondike is said to mean “plenty of fish.” But in English it means “plenty of suckers.” a PROSPERITY TAXES. Two Americans who have just re- turned from Dawson City report a spirit of revolt among the American miners there against the Canadian proposal to levy heavy royalties on the output of the mines. They say that Americans will never submit to unjust taxes on their mines. If Americans In the Klondike will not submit to unjust taxes they differ from Americans in the United States. Con- grees has just levied a host of unjust taxes, not merely on the output of mines, but the product of farms, the earnings of labor and the savings of thrift. Thes® taxes have been levied not only to secure revenue for the Government, but to increase the profits of monopoly combinations and millionaire manufac- turers. They have been levied in the hame of prosperity on the mass of the people for the benefit of the favored few. If the Canadian Government wants the Americans in the Klondike to submit to heavy taxation with cheerfulness § it should follow the example of the business partners of the United States Govern- ment in the scheme ef plutocratic legis- lation; tt should convince the Klondike miners that taxation brings prosperity. It should send shrewd politicians among —- — them to make them believe (that the more! ; a the Government takes of the output of the mines, the better off the miners will be. When taxpayers become imbued with the idea that taxation creates prosperity, there is practically no Hmit to the bur- dens which may be laid on their backs. ida It is almost time for a resc party to start in search of Andree. —_ e — uing balloon — PERHAPS. Perhaps Gov. Stephens thinks that a man who accepts bribes in a public office is the right man to appoint to the Board of Election Commissioners. Perhaps the Governor thinks that a man practically charged with embezzle- |ment in a civil suit, and who disposes of | the charge by paying the costs to have the suit dismissed, would be valuable to his party in the effice of election com- missioner. Perhaps the Governor thinks that a man whose record in the criminal court has been destroyed by the mutilation of the books and the theft of papers {!s the very man to intrust with the guardian- ship of the ballot boxes and the election returns of St. Louis. Perhaps the Governor thinks that 4a man who is unfit to be chairman of the whose candidacy Is condemned by lead- ing Democrats, has proved his fitness for the supervision of city elections. Perhaps Hugh Brady spoke with au- thority when he said that he had “a cinch” on the appointment. | Gov.

The wheelmen of St. Louis, having shown their good sense by accépting the bicycle tax law, owe it to themselves and to the community to bring about order from the present chaotic conditions of bicycle riding within the city limits. That intelligent wheelmen will lend their influ- ence to this movement there can be no doubt. Three things are a menace to the public and hurtful to the interests of whee!men —the wheel without a bell, the lampless wheel by night and the scorcher at all times. The scorcher is amenable to the ordi- nance against reckless driving or riding. Let policemen see to it that this law is obeyed, and let sensible wheelmen aid the officers in discouraging scorchers. As for the bell and light, St. Louis ought to have an ordinance such as the Post-Dispatch proposed in its Tuesday issue. To continue the present danger- ous conditions of bicycle riding in the city is barbarous. : Until an ordinance requiring bells and lights is passed, all wheelmen who have the interests of the sport at heart should use their influence to bring about the voluntary use of these safety appliances. Have you a bell and a Jamp on your wheel? If not, get them and use them. Every wheel without these necessary safeguards is a menace to other wheel- men, to pedestrians, to occupants of all vehicles—in short to the community. —_———— Oo) - According to the report of the Massa- chusetts Labor Bureau, wages in ‘all grades are higher in that State than in any otber State of the Union.

Post-Dispatch Readers Agree That It Is Time to Reform. —— Breaking the Law, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. - Ts there any law against parties ridin - cycles on the sidewalks? ‘ g bi Of course, no law is necessary to prevent any self-respecting person from doing sucn a thing. but there are a number of toughs of both sexes who. seem to think that the sidewalk is built especially for the'r use, and a the lives and per- sons of all who walk.

Several animals got into a fierce fight, and ran into the carriages. One carriage contained Policeman John Concor and ex-Alderman Richard Ennis. Both were thrown to the street and severely injured. The cattle lunged at one another and then crashed against the carriage in which the Muivthill family was seated, breaking the carriage doors. The members of the family umped from the carriage and ran into a ouse. Men pounded the brutes on the heads with clubs and stones, but were un- able to separate them. They ran against the hearse and almost upset it. All the mourners were panic stricken, and many had narrow escapes from death. The cattle were finally driven away. The mourners re-entered their carriages and the proces- sion was resumed. PERU IS TOLD TO PAY UP. The McCord Claims of $50,000 Must Be Settled at Once.

He Prospered Under Persecution and Boys Attacked His Place. There was Ifttie work done tn Sam Luneg’s laundry at Twenty-second and Salisbury streets, Wednesday. The proprietor, his business essociate, Ah Sin, and his cousin, Ping Wah, were alternately engaged in eliminating .certain cyclonic effects about the establishment, and nursing their brulsed heads, all the while commenting on the queer hospitality of the American people. The distressed look about the Place and on the chinks’ faces is directly due to a visit of indignant juvenile citizens Tuesday evening. When Sam came into the neighborhood & month ago residents made an awful pro- test. The red and white sign, red-curtained windows, opium odors and blinking Celes- tiais, detracted from the aristocracy of the locality, so the neighbors thought, and they rent quietly to work to get Sam out of the ock, The people on the block decided to bovcott the laundry. e effect of this was not especially pleas- ing to the boyeotters, for at the expiration of ten days Sam had called in Ah Sin to elp with the work. People living a block or so from the laundry refused positively to Sympathize with those compelled to dwell in close proximity to the Orientais. A scout sent into the enemy’s establsh- ment reported a large increase of business, A hasty conference of leading sp'rts was held and another attempt to oust Sam was decided upon. This time, it !s said, a paper was circu- lated calilng on all who would not patron- ize the Chinamen to affix their signatures to an agreement to that effect. Another fortnight passed and to the con- sternation of the etitioners another chink” appeared. This was Ping Wah, Lung’s- cousin, an expert with the iron. Bus ness continued good and the feelings of the distracted neighbors were reaching a State of frengy when Young America as- serted itself. Tuesday evening about twenty-five lads met in a yard just around the corner from the laundry. The situation was thorough- ly discussed, and it was as evident to them as to their parents the obnoxious forelgn- ers meant to stay. The older folks were considering the mat- ter at the same time, giving opinions and suggestions from ther door stoops. S*or ly before § o'clock they were startied by the blood-chill ng Sa‘isbury street yell, and the gang trooped around the corner with war- paint on their faces and stones in the'r panes They brought up im front of the laun- ry. dam and Ping were inside, industriously ironing. Without warning a stone was neatly put through the window and dropped on Wah's shav pate. Another followed. through a different pane, ani nestled affectionately aga nst Bam's cheek. e@ made for the door, flat-iron in hand. H s appearance was the signal for a general attack.

The attack was not repeated during the night, but it ‘s broadly intimated it will be soon, if the corner is not vacated. Sam says he has no idea of leaving and declares the next time he is annoyed he will iell the police. “I makin’ money. What for move?” Is his logical query. DISCLOSED BY HER DEATH. A Rich California Widow Eloped From England Years Ago. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 4—In 180 a young Irish miner named Thomas Hogan and a woman supposed to be his wife set- tled in Calaveras County. Several years ago Hogan died and the woman married John C. Scribner of San Andreas. When Scribner died a short time since he left his widow in comfortable circumstances. She died recanty and left an estate valued at $30,000. By her will the bulk of it was left to her nephews and nieces—Elizabeth, George, Jane and Samuel Barnes of Clif- ton, Yorkshire, England. It has been learned. however, that Mrs. Scribner eloped from England with Hogan years ago and that she left her property to her own children by a legal marriage but not wishing to raise the veil that had hidden her past from them, she described them in her will as her néphews and nieces.

Comiskey Now Having Very Hot Times Out in the Western League. There are very hot times out in the West- ern League just now. Charley Comiskey, who fought many a good fight for St. Louis in his day, is out there. So is Tom Loftus, who used to battle for the St. Louis Reds long ago. . So is Jack Crooks and Jack Glasscock, and a whole lot of the scrappy boys who a little while ago d'd their scrapping in the “~< League. hey are with the minors, but the “‘scrap”’ that was in them when they were in the yrander organization isp still there, and it evelops on many occasions. At Ind anapolis last Saturday afternoon there came near being a free for all fight, with Comiskey as commanding genera! of the St. Pauls as against the Indianapolis forces. It was in the latter city it all occurred. The fun began almost as soon as the gam« opened. In the second inning, when Hoo s.ers were on second and third, Spies dis- ted-a dec’sion at home plate and ran n tO argue with the umpire, leaving the base unguarded. Gray saw his opportunity and dashed home. liverybody was hot, iskey, who promptly fined Spies for neglect- ing to cover the home plate. Comiskey had also a few judicious remarks for the benefit of the ump're for permitting the tally which had aroused Spies’ protest, and he unbosomed himself with characteristic vigor. Umpire Warner then ordered him ejected from the grounds amidst intense excitement. Com'skey was astounded by the order, not having, in his judgment, trespaseed upon the rights of a manager @t the bench, but the umpire was obdurate and out he went after some little resist- ance, two staiwart policemen clutching htm @s though thy were afraid ‘“Commy” would take wings. There was a great crowd present, and the “bleachers” in the controversy with Com- iskey began emptying into the diamond. many of them eager for a ‘‘scrap’’ with the St. Paul visitors, particularily Glasscock and Shugart. The poiice handled those in- truders pretty lively, recognizing the dan- ger of a general row. One young fellow, however, exchanged blows with one of the police, and he was yanked off the grounds #o lively that his hat Wont one way and his collar another. Then Player Shugart took a tilt at the umpire, and he was ordered out, and the spectacle was presented of the police chasing him al! Over left and center fleld before he was driven beyond the inclosure, Meanwhile the report spread down town that there was a riot at the grounds, and the bicycle policemen went fily_ng out there, and also the patrol wagon, so, taken alto. gether, never was a bai! game attended with more startling eccentricities. While this Was going on the St. Paul players clustered about the diamond, unmindful of the um- ire’s Instructions to “play ball,”’ and the atier, was hunting a watch in order to call time when Comiskey sent word from the Outside to play the game out. Playing was then resumed, and no further icident marked the afternoon save that jassoock drew a fine, and after the game he started for the umpire as If to balance the account.

Who of the old colony of St. Louis fans does not remember Dan Devinney, who um- pired the games the Co-operative Browns played away back in 183)? Everyone in St. sou.s thought Dan was dead and buried. But he bobbed up serenely at Cincinnat! last Sunday looking just as depper and poate as he did seventeen years ago. jacked up by Harry Weldon and other Cin- c'nnati folks, Devinney has made applica- tion for a place ag League umpire.

BREITENSTEIN’S GREAT RECORD. He Has Won Thir.een of the Lost Four- teen Games He Has Pitched. When Breitenstein war sold by the St. Louis club to Cincinnat! there were some folks in the latter town who set up the cry that Brush had bought a gold brick: that the sorrel-topped twirler had seen his best days, and all that sort of thing.

ORNAMENT AND TYPHOON. These Great Horses Will Be Raced in the East From This Forward. Hal P. Headley has sold his half interest in Ornament, the St. Louls Derby winner, to Charley Patterson, for $12,000. The two owners fell out as to where they should race the horse. Headley wanted to race him In the West, but Patterson preferred the astern tracks. Patterson, being in control of the great horse, he will be seen no more out here. It was at one time thought a match race between Ornament and Ty- phoon II. would be brought off out here in the West. Mr. Cahn, having disposed of his great colt, however, that sort of a match is out of the question. The St. Louis colony of turfmen who know Typhoon II. sav Cahn did well to sell him for $12,000. There is one thing certain, the Cahns have a repu- tation for knowtng when to let go of a horse. They sold Ray 8. to the Fleschmans after that horse had beaten and been beaten by Yo Tambien, but after they had let go of him he disappeared from the face of the earth. The Cahns had taken all the run out of him. Those in the know think Typhoon Il. has also seen his best days, but all this will appear later. OFF FOR CHICAGO.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 4.—R. W. Scott, Secretary of State, was interviewed re- garding the statement from Washington laiming that Great Britain in the official maps had drawn the boundary Ene on the Pacific coast so as to deprive the United States of hundreds of miles of territory adjoining the Klondike gold fields. He said he had gone Into the question when a mem- ber of the MacKenzie administration in 1878 and the point now raised was raised ei treaty of St. Petersburg of i825," said he, “defines the line dividing Russian territory, now Alaska, from British by a line drawn north from the_ foot of Prince of Wales Island through Portland Channel until it struck the mountains, when the method of delimitation Was set forth. The map will show that a line running north from the foot of Prince of Wales Island must go through the Behm Canal and that to reach Portland Cana! the line would have to go east through the open sea a considerable distance before it eould reach Portland Channel or canal, “The British contention as shown by the dispatches of George Canning to Sir Charles Bagot, when British Ambassador at St. Petersburg, is that Portland Canal was to be in British territory and that the words ‘Portland Canal’ in the convention was a mistake for ‘Behm Canal’ or else what is now called Portland Canal was not then so called. This is supported by the physical impossibility of running a line due north through Portland Canal from the foot of Prince of Wales Island, so that Canadian maps show the boundary line as running north through the Behm Canal. The dif- ference is great in view of the discoveries of gold and it can only be settled by an in- iernational arbitration. “The disputed territory with the ten marine leagues back from the coast added would not, however, embrace the present gold fields of the Klondike, which are clearly in British territory, because they are well east of the l4ist meridian, which is the recognized boundary to the north.” TO BUY OUT BERRY.

FIVE HUNDRED PATIENTS A DAY iw oT a aS y- oS | ) oe <r ‘MISSISSIPPI 4g \ VALLEY (4 ut PV b. portunity Under During the Last Three Days---The Close of the Op- the Low Rates. Cured of Catarrh. Docter Copeland Again Compelied to Extend the Opportunity by the Multitades Who Waited Till the Eleventh Hour—The Wonderfal Statements of Neary Bium, J. J. Meyer and Mrs. James Smith, Cured of Deafness, and Mrs. R Lasswell, On Wednesday, July 2%, there were treated in the Copeland offices 226 patients. On Thursday, 310 patients, On Friday, 455 patients. On Saturday 661 patients. On Friday and Sa urday a large number of peuple were unable to obtain treatment owing to the crowds who desired to take advantage of the final opportunity under tne iow rates. This is the largest numver of patienta,that have ever been “reated at one time in these offices, and this occurreG in spite of the fact that throughout the month Doctor Copeland had persisieacly re- quested that patients desiring to take ad- vantage of the opportunity shouli do so at once and not wait until the concluling days and compel another renewal. In justice to all, it is to be considered that the continued rains and the intense heat ee te ee ae fw \ SS ae t, Cured-of Deafness by Doctor Copeland. in the early part of the month prevented many from embracing the oppor unity. and there is some excuse therefore for the inci- dents of the concluding days which occurred in spite of the requests Doctor Copeland made. He therefore feels it is just and right to once more extend this opporiunity, carry- ing it through the summer until September ist, giving notice, however, that no further exiension will be mace, and that on Septem- ber lst the usual fees will be renewed. Being compelled to raise his fees on ac- count of the influx of people from ali over the country to be cured of Deafness, and in trying to so adjust this raising of fees as to preclude any injustice to taousands of old patients, Doctor Copeiand has taken every pains in his power. He has during the summer season made two distinct and liberal extensions of the opportunity, and he feels now with this final extension that he can never be ecr.ticised on the ground of lack of consideration or care for thou- sands in years past who have favored him with their patronage. He wishes it to be distinctly understcod that the course of the last two months will not be again fo.lowed; no matter how large the crowds or how many wait until the concluding days of August, the opportunity will under no clr- cumstances be extended or continued again. He has gone to the farthest extent to make it plain and clear to all, and to give ali patients time and notice. Therefore it will be clearly understood that The low rates which have been incident for so many years to the Copeland practice are open to all pa- tients and for all diseases during the month of August, and all applying or renewing, as is manifestly just, during this month will be treated until cured at this rate. Under no possible con- sideration or circumstances will the opportunity be again extended or re- newed. Was Very Deaf in Both Ears—Perfectly Cured.

WEDNESDAY=ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 4, 1897. RAN AMUCK, ————-—- > - - —— The Facts in Regard to the Pa- trolman’s Insane Antics on Monday Night. —————o MAN ASSAULTED, GIRL SHOT. While Drunk He Fired Six Bul- lets From a Revolver Bor- rowed From a Barber. Patrolman James Sweeney of the Sixth District Police Station ran amuck Monday evening while crazed with drink, fired half a dogen shots from a revolver and wounded a girl. The full facts did not come to ligt till Wednesday morning. Sweeney is a big, muscular policeman, guiet when sober, but intractable and fierce when under the influence of Iquor Perhaps heat had something to do with his condition Monday, but when he went into James Branch’s barber shop, at 440i Kossuth avenue, in the evening, his breath smelled ike a distillery and his steps were uneven. “Did you lend ‘Fatty’ your gun?’ he asked the barber. “Who's Fatty?’ was the reply. ‘tI don't know anyone by that name,” “Have you ot a gun”’ asked Sweeney, as a vicious smile spread over his face. ‘*Ves,’’ “Lemme see it.’’ Branch opened a drawer and disclosed to view a handsome revolver, its silver piate shining brilliantly. Sweeney lurched over to the drawer, acized the weapon. and, put- ting it in his pocket, walked out of the shop without saying a word. In the house next door stood Frank Pierce at the doorway. Sweeney went up the s'eps. “Don't come in. Sweeney,” said Pierce, “the people are trying to get some sleep.”’ Sweeney drew back his arm for a reply and eent a swine ne blow tnto Pierce's face, The latter bounded by the pollecemayg and ran at fuil speed down the: et... Sweeney drew the barbe revolver and as Pierce turned the corner he felt a bullet a close to his ear, én the policeman fired a couple of more shots and started in pursuit. He turned into an alleyway by mistake, and as he was running along at full speed two more shots burst from his weapon. Why they were fired nobody knows, as no one Was in sight. In the rear hall of Pierce's house stood little Della Scannell, a servant. Sweency saw her and blazed away. The bullet in- ficted a slight flesh wound in her hip. This exhausted the polilceman’s ammunition atid he seemed to come to hs senses. The girl was taken to the City Dispensary, Where it was found that her wound was trifling She was sent to her home at 3941 Sophia avente. When Sweeney was asked about the EeeOrIng by Capt. Campbell he had little oO 8ny, “There was a shot fired up there,” he declared, “and I was trying to get the man who fired it.’’ This explanation was so unsatisfactory that Sweeney was at once suspended, The report of the cate was made at the -_- Fair Grounds Substation by Serst. Mun rotus. but it was so indefinite that Capt. Campbell made a personal investigation before sending word to the Chief. DR. FORSTER GOING ABROAD — Absurd Romors of Chief Harri- gan’s Removal Set at Rest. Dr. Otto E. Forster of the Board of Police Commissioners will leave Thursdey for an extended European trip. The doctor announced his iniention Wednesday and says he will be gone, per- haps, six or eight weeks or even jonger. This announcement ought to put a stop to the absurd rumor of the removal of Chief of Vollee Harr gan and the general shake-up in the department. As a matter of fact, ‘here has never been ny founda ton for ihe story of the removal of Chief Harrigan, and it is eonceded he will continue to fi.1 the of- LEFT TO THE DELEGATE. - Archbishop Kain Said to Have Drop- ped the Tuohy Case. It cones from good authority that Arch- bishop Kain, now en route to Europe, has washed his hands of the Fr. Tuohy con- troversy and has referred the whole matter to the Papal Delegate. It leaked out Wednesday that the In- vestigating Committee submitted to the metropolitan no report of its tindings, but bundied the papers up and sent them to the Archbishop without any recommendca- tion. This unexpected conclusion to the inquiries is sald to have been a sore dis- appointment to Archbishop Kaln, and in view of his near departure for Rome he placed the case with Mgr. Martinelli for whatever action may be deemed best. Fr. Tuohy says he has recelved no con- firmation of the rumor that Mgr. Muhl- s'epen was in possession of orders for his removal. a silence he takes as a refutation of the report. The statement that Fr. Lang is coming to St. Patrick’s as pastor, Fr, Tuohy says ‘sc erroneous... Fr. Leng will be his assis- tant and will have charge of the church work among the Italians. BROUGHT HOME FOR BURIAL. Samuel Schneitter Fell From the Fed- eral Building at Kansas City. The crushed and bruised body of Samuel! Schneitter ig lying at the home of his sis- ter, Mra. Lizzie Utt, 3222 North Grand ave- nue, and will be buried from thence to Piekett’s Cemetery Thursday. Schneitter met a horrible death Monday in Kansas C.ty, where he piunged head- long from the dome of the Federai building, a distance of 9 feet. He was a tuck-potnter by trade, and in the course of hls work ai- tempted to walk an eight-inch beam. ‘he young man was born and reared in St. Louis and was 19 vears ofd at hiz death. SUIT AGAINST BECKTOLD. ee A California Company Seeks to Recover Money and Piats. The History Co. of California filed a suit Wednesday in the United States Circult Court to recover $19,722.82 from Jose ! Trigo and William B. Becktold, surviv partners of the firm of Becktold & printers, of St. Louis. The plaintiffs wish to recover some plates and cuts used in Span- ish publications and damages for violation of contract. MURPHYSBORO NEXT, ee on ~ That Section Now the Center of Interest in the Illinois Miners’ Strike. DUQUOIN WORKMEN ARE OUT. —— ee ee Mev Shipped Under Escort Back to Belleville and Kast St. Louis. ——— inthe Illinois strike situation. It will un- doubtedly be the scene of trouble inside of a week. As told in the Post-Dispatch Tuesday, the 690 miners employed there refused at a meeting héld Monday night to join the strikers. The coal sent {nto the market by these men would not necessarily defeat the strike, although it would prolong it, but it is argued if they are permitted to work men in other places who see them making good wages will become demoralized and there will be breeks all alone the line. The men of Duquoin are out. They out- number the Murphysboro men three to two and are expected to pull them out of the mines. A report from Duquon Wednes- dav morning was that 1,000 men were get- ting ready to march to Murphysboro. There are no strikers within Murphys- horo’s gates now.

The remainder were taken into East St. Louis. Gen. Brad- ley linod them up at the Relay Depot and gave them a “hand out.’’ They were then told to beat their way home on freight trains. Gen. Bradley went up to Belleville on a late train. He had laid off his silk hat and Prince Aijbert coat, but Was still pic- turesque, tie wore abicycle cap, a linen duster, a black negiigee shirt and black broadcloth trousers. He still had on the belt with fts Murphysboro !s now the center of interest massive silver buckle and his goid watcnh | and chain, but he had parted company w.th all but one of his rings.

The ballot was not secret. Those in*favor of striking were asked to step to one side. With spies and traitors all around them the men were afraid to do it. “About my arrest? The operators simply set a trap for me and I fell into it. It cost me $40, but I don’t mind that.”’ The Belleville miners heid a meeting at 9 o'clock but Bradley did not attend it.

The shut down there is now more complete than ever. The six men who went to work at the Wiederman mine have quit. Tuesday evening the Reed, Murphy and Taylor mines, which have been supplying local demand, shut down, The only one now running is the .Weiss mine, out on the Georgetown road, and it is supplying only farmers. If any coal comes from it toward town it, too, will be closed. LOEHMANN SEES THE CITY. Held Up and Robbed of $100 by His Two Obliging Guides. Otto Loehmann saw. the town Tuesday night in the company of two “good fellows” who kindly served as guides. At 1:40 o'clock Wednesday morning, Loeh- mann was robbed. He says the men who were so accommodating in laying bare the sights of a great city were he robbers. he victim says he was held up by his companions on Main street, between Pine and Chestnut. He lost $100—all the money he head. A lusty yell from Loehmann attracted the attention of Patrolman Shannon, who gave hot pursuit. The fugitives fan faster. Several shots were fired in valn by Patrol- man Shannon. : At the foot of Locust street the fugitives ran against Officers Lane and Clifford, They attempted to resist. The officers battled with them until the Eads Bridge was reached. There the surrender came. The prisoners were taken to the chestnut street station. Thy gave the names of Ernest Tohe and Harry Otto. At the station it was discovered that in resisting arrest Otto had received serious injury. A policeman’s club had made three gashes on his scalp and a deep cut on his chin.

GARROTED ‘A> SIREN, Lillie Hamilton Knocked Sense- less and Robbed of All Her Money. STRUGGLED WITH TWO MEN. She Had Decoyed One of Them to Her Room and the Other Followed. Lillie Hamilton, @ siren of the street, en- snared a victim Tuesday night and lured him to her room in the rear of the second floor of 419% North Bighth street. He turned out to be a garroter. He had «a confederate who was evidently near by and witnessed the willingness with which his partner was led away by the woman. It was about 10 o'clock when the Hamilk ton woman addressed a dapper-looking young fellow at Eighth and St. Charles streets and invited him to her room. He accepted the fnvitation, and, taki the woman's arm, went forward an tripped up the narrow, unlighted er wey which leads out into a narrow he top. Her room is but a few feet from the top of the stairs. She unlocked the door hted a lamp and asked her new-found nd to be seat They had chatted for a minute or two when suddenly the door flew open and in burst another young man. The man who had dashed through the door unawares a at the woman, seized her by the throat and hurled her to the floor. he is a frail creature, but luckily struggled against her assailant and as she attempted to scream for help the man who had so willingly accompanied her from the street grabbed her handkerchief and stuffed it Into er mouth. As she was being stified the first assailant gave her a «ting! blow un- der the left eye and tightened his clute upon her throat. The woman had ceas to struggle. She was unconscious and choked almost breathless. She says that when she came to her senses, perhaps a quarter of an hour later her stocking had been slit with a knife an the purse containing $87, which she carried concealed there, was gone. She reported the assault and robbery, with a description of her assailants, to the police at the Four Courts, and detectives were sent out on the case, but have not succeeded in captur- ing the men. Lillie Hamilton lives at 3736 Hickory street, a eat a frame cotage, with two rooms, with another woman whose name she re- fused to give. The Hamilton woman rents the room at 419% North Bighth street, and the tenant tn the adjoining room says she occupies it at intervals during the evening from 8 to 12 at night. The room is neatly furnished, with a double and single bed, a dresser and wash- stand and three or four chairs. The room bore no evidences of a struggle, and if there was one there last night Lillie re- arranged it before she went out to her Hickory street cottage. The woman who lives in the room next to the one where the robbery Is alleged to have taken place says she heard no noise in it any time last night. When a Post-Dispatch eres called at the Hickory street house ednesday Lillie Hamilton refused to be seen, but her room- mate said she was not seriously hurt. She aald, however, that the story Lillie told at the Four Courts was true. ——— Stockers . . vy Weather Crop Bulletin for Missouri Chicago—Sept. wheat, 78%@ ec bid; puts, 77K Ther was"! l a tivity In this ption, but th per bu: weevily less.

See Pa vite —— — “UNCLE TOM” LEFT FOUR LITTLE GIRLS They Came to Town With Happy Hearts Thinking to Celebrate Their Father’s Birthday. WERE NOT TOLD THAT HE WAS DEAD. aS) Strange Story of the Noted Single Tax Advocate, Who Is Believed by His Friends to Have Committed Suicide. Around the 4ininge-room table of H. Mar- ¢t{n Williams’ 912 North Garrison avenue, four sun-browned little girls spent a happy half hour Tuesday might devour- ing ice cream, They were full of life and laughter, all @nmindful of .a terrible shadow hanging Byer therm, The little ones were Lou're, aged 11: Lena, 8; Alma, 7: Ola, 5, ch'l¢dren of Louts Klein, better known as “T’ncle Tom,” one of the Drightest and queerest genulses known to Bt. Loulsans. He had been found dead tn his room at Mrs. Mary TBiach'’s boarding-house, 83 Clin- ton sireet, Tuesday morning. There whs mothing to indicate how Geath came, though suictde was suspected, because Klein Was an adherent of the Ingersollian doctrine of self destruction. When HT. Martin Williams hear of Kiein’s death he went with his niece to the St. Louis Protestant Orphans’ Home @t Webster Groveg and brought the little ones initio the city for a last look at their Wend father. To save them a night of misery they were kept in ignorance of their father’s death. “Oh, we are going in to celebrate papa’s Dirthday!” the little ones cried dn great @ice when they saw their friends from the was 47 vears old Monday and had ien his eldest daughter Lou‘se a birth- etter. » way in from Wehster Groves they papa and his birthday, and the frolic they would have together. Thoy were told they would nox their father until morning, but this did not dampen their @rdent spirits. They had lived for a little while in the house on Garrison avenue afier thelr moth- er’s death, in February, a year ago. They were glad to see old friends and the house Fang with their happy volces. ]t was a trying scene for thetr elders, who had learned to love the little ones and re- alized in the intensity of their happiness the depths of sorrow the morning would residence, about SOQ ng. They went to bed with smiling faces. while their elders turned away from their g@ood-night kiss In tears. Uncle Tom's death ieft his four little girls arentiess and unprovided for, a charge as @ had been on the charity of friends.

The heart-breaking scenes of the morn- (ng were repeated when they were shown heir father’s body and allowed one last iss Of the cold clay before the coffin was closed. After the coroner’s inquest the body, fol- fowed by a few of the dead man’s friends. Was removed to the Missourt arematoryv where it was incinerated. The ashes will be buried beside those of his wife in Belle- fontaine, Despite the verdict of the coroner, many of Uncle Tom's friends will find tt hard to rid their minds of the notion that he was gelf-siain. He was a eatudent of self-destruction. His active mind when {ft slipped from its eco- nomic mooringNS centered itself in thoughts of suicide.

Peorhere is a story in circulation that he and his wife had agreed that whoever should survive the other would commit sul- cide within a year. I knew Mrs. Klein well and I know such an agreement never ex- isted.” ' T’ncle Tom had the reticence of a scholar. Tie was a character of national reputat on among single tax advocates, but even among those who helped to pe life in his body little is known of his early life. Iie had all the impracticability of genius, His incapacity in worldly affairs was mar- velous. In the care of his family he was entirely Cependant upon others. Little hints that he let drop of his early life give a clew to this side of his nature. He was of noble extraction. To show how thoroughly he had imbibed American ideas, he some times laughed at the idea of his elder brother, the count, living at home on the ancestral estate. He was an Austrian. He had served in the Eemperor’s army, but why he left the army and what was the mystery of his early life he never made knywn. Even his earlier existence in America was a ser.ied book to his intimates. All that was ever gotten out of him was that he married his wits near New York C.ty while he had oharge of her mother’s stable, She was disowned and they went to Mauch Chunk, Pa., where Klein supported himself by driving a hack. Hs had been well educated abroad and — exceedingly well read along economic nes, When Henry George took charge of the Standard, Klein became a frequent contrib- utor. Under his pen name of Uncle Tom he soon attracted national ee. Dr. Henry A. Chase of this city, an en- thusiastic gingle-taxer, looked him up sev- era] fears ago on is trip Past. He learned that the *“‘Uncle Tom’’ manuscnpt was matled to the Standard from Mauch Chunk, Pa. Stopping over there on his way home, he discovered Uncle Tom in the hack- man who drove him from the depot. Later Dr. Chase received a letter from him, saying he had lost his heck and was in financial straits. Dr. Chase brought him here in 1891 and secured him employment as a watchman at N. O. Nelson's. His du- ties were nominal and his salary small. He kept up his Mterary work and soon be- came a shining Mght among local single- taxers. Men found him a queer genius. He was a good man, not eccentric In elther conver- gation or dress, but without aim or ambi- tion outside of economic reformation. In- deed, his devotion to the single tax was the balance wheel of his character. He could not keep abreast of his own ‘re- sources and his friends were obliged to help him out. On account of his straight- ened circumstances the Post-Dispatch recognized his talents and made an ex- ception in his favor whereby his contribu- tions to the People’s Forum were paid for. He wrote with force and clearness on eco- nomic questions and that his work attracted atrention is evidenced by the letters found in his room from people the world over who had become interested in him through his writings. A number of Klein's single-tax friends met in the office of N, O. Nelson Wednes- say morning and arranged for his incinera- ion. The address of his wife’s mother will be looked up and she will be asked to look after her daughter’s children. She has ample means, but when Klein wrote to her after her daughter’s death, she refused to answer hia letters In case she ignores her grandchildren they will be looked after by those who have seen to their welfare since their mother’s death. MARRIED TO ESCAPE THE LAW. Gus Zink and Mabel Clark Wedded at Chicago. A dispatch from Chicago says that Gus Zink of this city and Mabel Clark will be married this (Wednesday) afternoon. This action will take Zink out of the hands ofthe law. He was arrested here last week charged with abducting the girl, who is 16 years old. He boarded with her mother in Chicago, and ran off with the girl to Cin- cinnati, then brought her here to his moth- er’s home. The local police department arrested them on a telegram from Chicago. Zink is well connected and w y , as former] well known in rea! estate circles. ’ UNITED WHEELING CLUBS. South Broadway Merchants Pushing the Illuminated Parade.

Each one has on an average ten confederates, who assist the mediums and act as esples. Consequently there are between 300,000 and 4X persons in this country who are making a living off the gullibility of the people. “The tricks of the mediums are easy to understand. When you consider the vast number of them, thelr power is easy to understand, They have a record of every person of prominence in every city of this country. These records are published.’’ Mr. Bevert went to hia desk and brought out some printed documents. They con- tained excerpts from the printed lists of Cincinnat! men, One is given below, the name being changed: Charles Young, 6 years old, graduate of Wesleyan College, dark hair and eves. Easy man to manage. Wife. Carlotta Young, died in 1892 of spinal meningitis, age 4. She had light hair. blue eyes, an oval face and pretty figure. She sang in a church choir and had an alto voice. Charles Young, Jr. Died in 1891, 18 rears old. Was a freshman at — ‘ollege and an athlete. He Was cap- tain of the foot ball eleven. Was 6 feet tall, had dark hair and eyes. Kate Young. Died in 1890, 15 years old. Was ‘a pretty little girl, neither a blonde nor a brunette. She was her mother’s pet, N. B.—Mr. Young is an easy man, He is good for seances at his home and is easy for good money. “Now,” continued Mr. Covert, “suppose Mr. Young went to a 6eance in any my ! in the country. The medium would look him | up in the k, would learn al! about the| dead members of his family, would know | he was creduious and a ‘soft mark.’ W hat | more easy than to make him think his wife | was talking to him—what more easy than | for a clever confederate to impersonate his wife and touch his hand? Thy, it’a the simplest thing in the world. “There isn’t a trick done by the mediums which I cannot duplicate. he slate-writ- ing is of course a fraud. Penciis are se- creted in the trousers or back of the coat and the writing is done in that way. When a double slate is used, there is, of course, no writing done on the inside. The slate which has the writing is substituted for it, that’s all But for a practical demon- stration.” Mr. Covert produced an iron ring about fifteem inches in diameter which he placed on a desk by the side of his chatfr. The reporter drew his chair close to Mr. Covert and grasped both his hands, then closed his eyes. “Hold on to my thumbs so I can’t get away,” said Mr. Covert. The reporter hung on to the thumbs like mm death. In a second the ring encircled iis left arm. “A medium would say that ring was put on your arm by the spirits,”” said Mr, Co-| vert, “and if you were in that half hypnotic state in which a man usually is when he attends a seance, you would believe it. Then under a promise not to publish the secret, Mr. Covert showed how the ring was placed on the reporter’s arm. It was as simple a trick as was ever performed | and only involved a quick motion of the) hand, which a child of 6 years could eas-| lly accompilsh. ‘Now in regard to our convention at An- derson The call explains it as follows: Object of this convention fs to cali to- gether in person, or by letter, those in- terested in the cause of anti-sp ritua‘ism, for the purpose of estabi-ehing nationai: and State anti-spiritualistic torres, with lecture and expose bure partments of literature, f of disseminating truth on the To lead souls m the rude sce iirliiiem to Christ.

In the arrest of John Henderson, colored, in his room at 20381 Walnut street, the police believe they have the man who robbed the safe of the Missouri River Commission at 1515 Locust street a month ago. Henderson was then employed there as a porter. In a locked drawer of a desk was a slip of paper on which was written the combination of the safe. One night this drawer was broken open and the thief secured the combination to the safe, which made it easy for him to open It. The next morning, when one of the clerks came in, he found the safe looted. Among the things missing were a gold watch and chain, twenty-three promissory notes, ag- gregating $1,110, a deed of trust, a chattel mortgage, a certificate of title, a bill of sale and $80. That day Henderson gave up his job. He was suspected of the theft, but there was no evidence against him. Detectives Viehle and Dotzman Tuesday found the watch in a pawn shop and the dealer who bought it said he had purchased it from a negro, and gave a description of Henderson. Henderson was arrested and identified as the man who sold the watch. He denies it and also the commission of the robbery. ! Chief Desmond is now trying to find the valuable papers stolen from the safe. The Summer Resorts of Michigan Are quickly and easily reached via the Wabash. Discharged the Boy.
