THE MINERS INSISTED ON 69 CENTS AND THE OPERATORS OFFERED ONLY 61 1-2. — ee Suggested That Work Should Go on for Thirty Days Pending an Agreement, but This Was Flatly Refused. — ee or or — PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 24.—The fiflal ef- fort to arrange a plan for ending the big coal etrike has proved a failure and the etrike goes on. At noon the conference be- tween a committee of coal miners and oper- ators, national and district officials, closed and the conference adjourned without date. The miners’ representatives did not recede from their original proposition to settle the etrike by arbitration and start the mines at the 69 cent rate. The operators offered to divide the dif- ference between Sic and 69c rates, making the price at which the mines would start 61% cents per ton, but this was rejected. Then additional propositions were made. One was to start the mines without fixine any price for thirty days and then to pay the rate agreed upon by the Board of Ar.- bitration. This was also refused by the miners and they said they had been fooled too often to trust the operators again. They declined to work for a month, giving the operators the output that length of time without knowing what wages would be paid. A proposition was then made to operate the mines for ten days without fixing the price and allowing a board of arbitration to fix the price for that time. President Ratchford insisted that noth- ing but the 69-cent rate could be possibly accepted. The operators were firm, but the miners were agually determined and every argu- ment of the mine owners was met by the miners’ leaders. Neither side wouid concede another point and it was decided to end the conference. President Ratahford had but little to fay on the matter, but gave out the fol- lowing statement: “We have disagreed. Our proposition re- mained unchanged. Besides our proposition to arbitrate, we made them a second one along the lines of bringing about a gen- eral conference of miners and operators of all mining States. They refused to lend their efforts in that direction and the strike will be continued. We have no other plans for the future.” Immediatejy after the close of the morn- ing confererice J. B. Zerbe called a meeting of operators for 2 o’clock this afternoon to discuss the situation and-eoutline a. plan for future action. From the tone of the remarks of some of the operators before the plan decided upon at the Cleveland conference to make a fight is to start the mines with the old men if they can be induced to dig at 54 cents or to import men to take their places. There are others, however, who say they will not aid in carrying out this plan and favor a com- piete surrender. The outlook after the adjournment of the conference seemed to be encouraging for the anxiety of the operators ,to start their mines. Nearly every coal company in the Pittsburg district was represented at the Monongahela House during the conference. - ----}- --- QUIET ABOUT PITTSBURG. Both Sides Awaiting the Decision of the Courts.

LOSES HIS LF NWA LEVEE ROW, Bob Conway Shot Dead by “Kid” Meyers, His Rival for a Woman’s Favor. RENEWAL OF AN OLD FIGHT. FATAL QUARREL BETWEEN TWO STEAMBOAT COOKS BEGINS IN A MEAT MARKET. oe ee MURDERER FIRES FIVE TIMES. Detectives Now Watching “Sis”? Con- way’s Home on Morgan Street for the Arrival of the Fugi- tive, Who Escaped. Bob Conway, colored, second cook on the Belle of Memphis steamboat, was shot and killed at Locust street and the Levee at 9:30 o’clock Tuesday morning, by ‘‘Kid’’-Meyers, also colored. Meyers escaped. The murder was the result of Meyers’ al- leged intimacy with ‘‘Sis’’ Conway, the mu- latto mistress of the dead. man. Conway left the boata little after 9 o’clock to go to Lowell’s market on the Levee be- tween Olive and Locust streets, to order the boat’s supply of meat. While in the market Meyers entered and demanded why Conway had accused him of calling on “Sis’’ Conway. The men quar- reled, and when Conway had left his order they walked out of the shop together and up the Levee tcewards Locust street. They stopped in front of Henry Old’s IXL saloon on the corner, and their loud talk caused a crowd of negroés to gather about them. John McCaffrey, driving a butcher wagon for Frank Knopp, and living at 219 South Main street, halted his wagon on the curb to listen to the dispute. When Conway and Meyers had cursed each other for a few minutes, McCaffrey saw Méevers draw a large revolver from the bosom of his shirt, and, pointing it direct at Conway, fired twice. Conway stepped to one side, and Meyers, after lowering his weapon, raised it again and rushed up to Conway, until the barrel of the gun touched his clothes. Then there were three more shots in rapid succession and, while Conway fell back dead, with a bullet through his heart, Meyers shoved the revolver back in his shirt and darted through the crowd on the Levee to Vine street, turning west. There the trail of the murderer was lost. In getting away Meyers stumbled over a chair on the sidewalk, occupied by a crip- ple named Louis Rice, and knocked him over, Besides the bullet through the heart, Con- His body Conway, who lived with the woman while in the c'ty, on Morgan street near Eleventh street, struck Meyers in the face in the kitchen of the Belle of Memphis Monday.

LIVED TWO DAYS AND DIED. LITTLE FELLOW HAD HUNDREDS OF VISITORS DURING HIS SHORT STAY ON EARTH. WAS BURIED THIS MORNING. Many Children on the Pavement Watched the Funeral Cor- tege as It Passed From Sight. The smallest baby in St. Louis !s dead. With the outgoing of Monday, just at midnight, little Clarence George Wesley Trapp ceased to breathe. and a mother’s heart was well-nigh broken. The tiny baby only weighed a pound to begin with, and when it opened its eves on the world, Saturday, at midnight, its cry was as fine and small as the peep of a new- born bird. With a scarcely perceptible sigh, it went away, as though to leave no ripple on the troubled wave of humanity {t had hardly touched at coming. There had been many vis'tors at the resi- dence of Mr. Trapp, 818 South Eighth street, It was early Sunday morning when neigh- bors learned of the wonderful baby and alli day long and into the night they dropped in to ask just a glimpse of it. Granting the request was dangerous, however, since the midget lay wrapped in cotton, in its mother® arms, and she could not be intruded upon. But, while many called, a few had the privilege of looking at the tiny. morsel of Tife. Monday the callers were more numerous, especially after the Post-Dispatch _ ap- peared with its description and picture of the baby. The visitors were nearly al)]) children, and great was their disappoint- ment when told the baby could not be seen. The attending physician thought fora time that: little Clarence George would live. Its physical construction appeared to be perfect in all respects except size, and it received nourishment with every indication of hur- ger. But as Monday evening came on the baby showed signs of exhaustion. It lay almost motionless and could not be prevailed upon to open its mouth. Now and then a sigh escaped it as though the little thing were al- ready weary of existence. Along towards midnight there was a blue- ness crept into its lips and a peculiar ashy aleness around the mouth. Its heart. no arger than a child’s thimble; fluttered a trifle, and the doctor said that death was nigh. The mother watched it with affectionate tenderness, and when they told her it was dead, she turned her face away and cried. She held it close to her breast a long while after that, and then the little body was put upon another portion of the bed. Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, the under- taker came. He had brought with him the smallest casket in his shop, about eighteen inches long. It was far too large, but the mother thought it unnecessary to have one specially made. So the nurse and Mr. Trapp got a small pillow and put little Clarence George into the casket with it and placed pretty white flowers around the baby. Half an hour later the yard and pavement were filled with the neighborhood children. all silent and eager-eyed. Then the under- taker came out with the coffin, and handed into a waiting carriage. Mr. Trapp followed, carrying a little girl. Big, strong man as he is, he was crying, as though little Clarence George had been in his heart for years in- stead of only for a few hours.

ANOTHER DROP OF SIX CENTS, Price of Wheat Has Declined Eleven Cents a Bushel Since Monday Morning. BULLS ARE ON THE RUN. BEARS IN GREAT GLEE OVER THE BIG RAID THEY HAVE MADE ON THE MARKET, Cm ee———— FORTUNES CRUMBLING FAST. E. B. White Says the Slump Was Caused by High Prices Shutting Off the Demand From Europe for American Wheat. The wheat market continued on the down- ward turn Tuesday. For the first time in two weeks both September and December options opened off from the closing price of the preceding day. The bulls could not maintain the market even at the low opening price and Monday's big slump was almost duplicated Tuesday. Tom Francis opened proceedings in the pit by bidding 100% for December, Jake Schreiner and Bert Laing were waiting for a chance like that and each of them accommodated Francis by selling him 5,000 bushels. Francis held his 10,000 until the market reached 96%. Then he sold it back to Schreiner. It was like giving #450 away, for the deal cost Tom Francis that much and put that much money in Schreiner’s pocket, If the market goes up again Francis will have a good chance to get even, for when he saw how things were going he joined the bears and helped hammer the prices until it had dropped from $1.00% at the opening to 86c and at that point he bought heavily and the market began to get stronger. It did not remain so, but dropped to ec. At ll o'clock dollar wheat had faded out of sight, not only in the St. Louis market but elsewhere. The December quotation in St. Louls was %4c, in New York %c, In Chicago 91%c, in Toledo %c and In Minneap- olis 98%c, The September quotation was just a little above the dollar mark in New York, but below it everywhere else. Even the May option weakened and fell in the St. Louis market to 97%c. As on Monday, the local traders followed the Chicago market closely. Nearly 100,000 bushels of wheat, mostly for tember delivered, were sold in the pit during the y seme | hour of the session. to call time the total slump amounted The same men who led the great bull raid last week were responsibtie for the drop Tuesday. Nearly all of the heavy exporters were on the bear side. While they had contracts pending with foreign consumers it was to their interest to keep prices up. Much of the wheat bought on the big mse has been ¢ehipped to ro and contracts are aay being closed. e foreign demand ia still heav and the exporters only hope of meeting it at a profit to themselves is to buy wheat in the o market at low prices. It was said on the floor Tuesday that the high prices of last week had paralyzed the exporting business, as the foreigners would oor make new contracts at the nigh prices. E. B. White, who has export millions of bushels of wheat, sald to a Post-Dis- atch nepomser: Pathe high prices last week brought the exporting business to a standatill. ractl- calle no business was done. When the mar- ket is again on an exporting basis business will be resumed.”’ Many of the traders believe the market will advance again as soon ag the exporters get ready to make new contracts. “The farmer will get a little the worst of it.” said a trader. “Of course, the ex- porters will buy fron? him as cheaply as they can, and get as much aa oe can for his product from the foreigners. The farm- er may see dollar wheat again, but he may get only a glimpse of It.’ Besides the hammering of the exporters, the most bearish factor Tuesday was the report of local receipts. Durin the last 139.06 bushels of wheat were brought to St. Louis. Wheat steadily declined.

The State Will Have to Prove the Cor- pus Delicti Entirely by Cir- cumstantial Evidence— An Ominous Date. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, IIL, Aug. 24.—The second day of the trial of Adolph Luetgert, the rich sausage-maker, charged with strangling his wife on the night of May 1, and de- stroying her body in a vat of caustic potash in his factory, was mainly devoted to em- panelling a jury. This is the beginning of one of the most sensational murder trials that ever oc- curred in Chicago. Only two casés in re- cent years have attracted such widespread attention as the one in which Adolph L. Luetgert appears as defendent. These were the case of the anarchists and that of the men charged with the murder of Dr. Cronin. One strange feature of the Luetgert, Cronin and anarchist cases is that in each case the crime was alleged to have been committed in the early part of May. — Haymarket bomb was thrown the night have been committed May 4,. while in the Luetgert case the alleged victim disappeared indictments the night of May 1, and the charge that the crime was committed be- tween 10 o'clock that night and 3 o'clock the following morning. The Criminal Court building, which has been deserted for a month because of the vacation period, assumed a very different appearance to-day. Long before the eleva- tore began their daily trips people crowded into the lower corridors and some who were - more eager to be on the scene first climbed the stairway to the various court-rooms in which it was said the trial of Luetgert would the | command | the eommittee | decide upon some one else, and ; they agreed that by to-morrow they would | oe MT.

And I'l tell the Judge what I think and the jury, too, if those people repeat some of the stuff they said at the other trial.” “You expect to be acquitted?” “Acquitted? Why, of course, I expect to be acquitted. They can’t convict me be- cause I'm not guilty.” “Smoking and walking and eating and sleeping take up my time,”’ Luetgert said, changing the subject, ‘“‘and I feel the neces- sity of getting some manual exercise to keep my weight from increasing. I have gained twenty-two pounds since May 16, the date of my incarceration. “Does that look as if I was worrying to death, and that my conscience hurts me?’’ Luetgert asked, with a laugh, as he slapped his sides and in a self-satisfied sort of + ad surveyed the extent of his increased girth. “I tell you if anybody welcomes this trial it is me,’’ he proceeded, and after reflecting a bit he referred humorously to hig sur- roundings. “There are some pretty good fellows in here, and this would be a good piace to run a German wein stube or beer tunnel. The boys, if they all had $5 aplece, would spend it like princes. Wouldn't you, boys?” and Luetgert turned and looked through the visitors’ cage at a bunch of fel- low prisoners who stood peeking through the screen. which separates the cage from the inner section. “But,” he added, “I guess there are enough bars here already.” Luetgert laughed heartily at his joke, and as he putes away eagerly at his cigar he remembered that he needed a fresh one, lighting which he resumed his task. “T expect to take the stand and they'll get the whole truth from me,” he said. ‘‘All those Httle circumstances can and will be explained by me. I'll tell everythin I know, and when the jury gets the facts they won't think I am such a bad fellow.” The case is very peculiar. It is one in which the prosecution will be compelled to prove the corpus delicti-entirely by circum- stantial evidence, ag they claim it is impos- sible to find any one who saw the woman after she was dead or saw the defendant commit any act likely to cause death. In nearly every case one phase or the other of the corpus delicti has been proved by dl- rect evidence. This is one instance in which both the agency and the fact of the wom- an’s death must be proved, if proved at ail, by circumstantial evidence. If the progecu- tion obtains a verdict or guilty the case will go down Jn legal histor¥Y as one of the most remarkable on record, and will, if that verdict if upheld, make it possible to convict men who contrive to cover their —— by destroying all direct evidence of them, THE CAHOKIA PUGILIST WON, Prize Fight at Allen’s Grove Near East St. Louis. —se ———— A prize fight at Allen's Grove, two miles north of East St. Louis, at midnight Mon- day, attracted a crowd of sports from both sides of the mnver.

BOTH RECEIVED MANY CUTS. THE HIGHWAYMAN RAN AWAY, BUT WAS CAPTURED WHILE HAVING WOUNDS DRESSED. HE CAME OFF SECOND BEST. A Sturdy Wagonmaker Makes a Ne- gro Footpad Who Stopped Him on Chambers Street Tired of Robbery. Philip Schwenk, a wagonmaker, had a des- perate encounter early Tuesday morning with a negro highwayman on Chambers Street between Tenth and Eleventh. They fought with knives and when the af- fray was ended both were covered with blood. Schwenk lives at 920 Chambers street and was on his way home at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning. He alighted from a Union line car at Fifteenth and Chambers streets and walked east toward his home. Chambers street is dark and lonely at that hour. Schwenk, when he is out late at night, car- ries his knife open in his hand. This time he needed it like the man in Texas needed the SOU ver, etween Tenth and Elevent Schwenk was suddenly contrantaa re ot gro who ordered him to hand over his money. Schwenk halted and told the negro he had no money. The footpad, with an oath, told him he knew better, that it was his pay day, and he wanted all his money ane velue® es withows delay. chwen saw a nite in the ne , as the latter advanced threatenim e mane wards him. The blacksmith parleyed meee ment, then, with a sudden leap, rushed in on the ag gy Ay and struck him a powerfy! low in the face. bThe negro was disconserted for an instant but recovered himself and made a lunge at Schwenk’s breast. The blacksmith threw up his left arm and received the blade in it. It penetrated !ts full length and stuck while Schwenk closed with the negro. Schwenk is a powerful man, and with hig wounded arm he held the negro close to him while with his own knife he made thrust after thrust at the foot-pad’s body. The ne- ro was endeavoring to get his knife out of chwenk’s arm. He succeeded and the des- perate duel in the dark continued. Not a sound escaped either of the com- batants as they struggled about the sidewalk in close embrace, — seeking to bury his j in a vital spo "te wen was handicapped by the fact that his knife had a short blade. Finally the negro broke away and ran down the street. Schwenk, bleeding freely from his wounds, made his way to the Fifth District Station and reported the holdup to Sergt. Cummings, giving a de- scription of his assailant. The Sergeant and two patrolmen went in search of the robber here is a negro settlement on Chambers street, near Tenth.

LONDON, Aug. 2%4.—An official dispatch to-day from Simla announces that Fort Maude in the Khyber Pass has been cap- tured by the Afridis after desperate fight- ing. The garrison, which was composed of native levies known as the Khyber Rifles, retired with the loss of three men, The Afridis afterwards burned the fort. The fate of Fort Ali-Musjid, which was simultaneously attacked by the Afridis, is not known. The British officer commanding at Jam- rud moved a battery of artillery, escorted by the Fourth Dragoons, yesterday to the mouth of the Khyber Pass and shelled the enemy at a range of 3,200 yards. The Afridis retired, burt the battery returned to Jam- rud, the officer in command deeming it in- advisable to enter the pass. Gen. Ellos will begin a concerted move- ment against the insurgent tribesmen im- mediately. That revolt In India is of far more im- portance than people on this eide of the water suppose. When a nation whose popu- lation numbers one-fifth of the entire pop- ulation of the globe shows signs of go'ng to war it is time for thinking. There are 300,000,000 inhabitants in India, and of these only 100,000 were born in the United King- dom, In the whole population only 238,499 speak English. Of British and British de- scent of the whole empire 200,000 would be a fair estimate, and these few people rule India with the help of an army of 74,000 British troops. In the native army there are 145,680 men, and they have been for years trained and trained again by the Brit- ish unti] the native army is a formidable one of which England has more than once boasted in the face of Eurove and with it threatened her European foes, It is a mistake to think that the native army is officered almost entirely by Eng- lishmen. There are 2,759 native officers in that army as against 1,580 Englishmen, To read Kipling, one would think that it was the British non-commissioned officer who made the Indian army effective, but in the whole native army there are only British non-commissioned officers outside of the & who belong to ‘the “selentific corps’ of the Sappers and Miners, or, as we would say in the United erates, the Engineer Corps. The revolt of the Sepoys in 1857 was child's play to what the re- volt of the Indian army would be now. To the present Indian army the sepa. were aS raw recruits, and when they made the stand around Delhi they mustered only 30,000 men. , The most significant feature of the pres- ent uprising is the fact that the Mahome- tans and Hindoos, who have had bitter wars, are united now against the British. As to the Mahometan population—and there: are 57,321,164 Mahometans in India— there have been fanatical] mullahs going about among the hill tribes and those near the border preaching a holy war against the British. It is believed that there is an under- standing between the Sultan and the Ameer of Afghanistan as to the preaching of this “Jehad,” though both potentates deny it. Perhaps the Sultan wanted to show England what he could do if he wanted to, just a hint, as it were, that there were other places to be considered beside Crete. However that may be, all the Mahom- etans have heard of the victory_of the armies of the followers of the Prophet against the Christians in Greece, and are much moved to war thereby. The Sepoy rebellion broke out just after the Crimean war and was precipitated by the distribu- tion among the troops of cartridges grease with lard, the fat of an animal unclean alike to Mahometan and Hindoo. They had heard of the Crimean war and the agitators told them that Russia was the perpetu foe of England and had plenty of money to y those who should attack her. It Is not ard tc see the poral between the situa- tion in 1857 and 1897. It is up in the north- west part of India that the fighting is going on. The Khyber Pass, for the safety of which the British now fear, is the great northern ateway of India. It commands the road o Kabul and has been the scene of many histori.al events. It was through this 85 that Alexander the Great marched. hen three years ago the Chitral rose an expedi- tion went up there and put down the rising. The work does not seem to have n thor- oughly done, though Gen. Kelley made his reputation out of it, for the Chitral is up again and refuses to be downed. THREE CHIEFS ARRESTED. Causing Great Excitement Among the Mahometans. BOMBAY, Aug. 2%4.—The Bombay Gazette announces that three of the principal chiefs of Belooch!stan, Sirdar Mehrattawhan, Go- mesbakhis and Yarmahomed were arrested on their arrival on the Mushkaf Bolan mall train, on which they had been induced to come to Quetta to meet the Governor-Gen- eral’s agent, who arrived on @ special train shortly before.

Mrs. Catharine Wesling, a widow, resides with her son and daughter at 409 South Iiwing avenue. It was late Monday when the crazed brother made the flerce attack THEY FOOLED THE LOOKOUT. Detectives Raid a Poker Game That Was Well Guarded. Detectives Kelly, Hatton and Anderson raided a poker game Monday night at 914 Olive street that has been running unmo- lested for months in a room on the second floor by John McGee and Sam Houston. The detectives were aware of the existence of the game a long time, but owing to the vigilant look-out were unable to catch the players in the act. At the sidewalk entrance to the stairs leading up to the room is a fentist’s sign, behind which was a push-but- ton cofinected by a wire with an alarm bell In the room. A “look-out’’ was seated con- stantly alongside the sign whfle games were in progress, and at the approach of detec- tives whom he suspected of contemplating a raid, he would reach under the sign, unob- served and touch the Button. When the officers entered the room, they would find the players engaged in a harm- less game of hearts or cassino with nothing contraband in sight. Monday night Charles Voyce was the look- out when Hatton, Kelly and Anderson strolled down the street. Hatton was near the wall, and Voyce kept a watchful eye on them. The officers were laughing and chat- ting and apparently their attention was en- grossed by pty | welgrn gto across the street, until they had passed by Voyce. Hatton suddenly sprang back and grabbed Voyce’s arms before he* could reach the button and In a@ second the look-out was eprawling in the gutter, while two of the officers were half way up the stairs. They burst into the room and had the drop on the occupants before the latter were aware of their presence. There were only three layers, They gave their names as John . Gee, John Fisher and Sam Houston. All the paraphernalia was confiscated and taken to the Four Courts with the four prisoners, GOT INTO THE-WRONG BUNK.

He is tall and well formed, with clear complexion and large blue eyes that look anything but maniacal, He is smooth faced and his well formed head is sur- mounted with a crop of thick and long au- burn hair. When Mamie Wesling was rescued from her frenzied brother's grasp she was more dead than alive. Her throat was terribly bruised and she was unconscious. A phy- Sicilian was compelled to work with her for an hour before she could be revived. The doctor says had help arrived a moment pater no power could have saved the girl's e.

President McKinley admits that reviy- ing prosperity in the West is “due in ereat measure to the large crops and the high prices caused by the failure of the crops in other_nations.”’ “But,” he adds, with charming ingenu- ousness, “‘the fact that prosperity has B&etin in the Rast cannot be accounted for in any other way than by the wise policy HAVLIN'S— STANDARD of the Republican party in restoring a protective farift.”’ This will be surprising information to many persons who thought that there Was some business relationship between the hast and the West besides that aris- ing from the East's privilege of taxing It was supposed that the busl- the West affected the conditions of the Hast; that manufacturers and merchants profited by sales of their goods in the West; that ratiroads owned by Eastern men profited by the carrying of Western grain and stock to market and of East- ern goods to the West; that Eastern ex- porters and commission men thrived on Western crops and a foreign demand: that Mastern money was loaned on West- ern property. sut according to the President this is a mistake. The West must depend in a measure on soil and toil, but the East lives and thrives by tariff taxes alone. Still, it is wenerous in President McKin- ley to admit that the better times in the West are partly due to large crops and the foreign demand, The admission that Wealth can come from the soil and that the people may thrive by any means ex- cept the generosity of plutocrats is a tre- mendous concession on the part of a Slatesman, who believes that taxes area source of prosperity. -_ © —s————- the West. ness conditions of business Kastern - o-.—-. =~ The President would stimulate prosper- ity by a visit toa city so financially solid as St. Louis. ——— oS ——w -_—— FIRST BLOOD.

Fifty miles west of Nashville, Tenn., fa a #0-called Soclalistic colony named Ruskin, containing about 200 persons, In- éluding women and children, The Post- Dispatch published a brief description of this colony a few days ago. It has been claimed that because this colony appears to be managed success- fully on co-operative Iines, cach share- holder getting an equal proportion of the general profits of labor, it points to a solution of the Labor question, “Here,” it le sald, “is a way for the workers to employ themselves and reap the entire reward of their labor.” The drawback about this colony and all similar ones that have been tried Is that a comparatively large amount of capital is needed in order to make the undertak- ing a Success.

There is no doubt in the mind of a single intelligent Democrat in this city as to the consequences which would follow the appointment of Hugh J. Brady to the ofUre of Election Commissioner. St. Louis Democrats know Brady thor- oughly, They are familiar with his char- acter and record. They know to whata condition of demoralization and disorgan- ization the party was brought under his mahagement. They know that his over- throw in the City Central Committee and the breaking of his power in the Demo- cratic organization were essential to its rehabilitation in the confidence of Demo- cratic voters and the public, and to the hope of success in elections. They know that Brady’s appointment, would be an insult to the people of St. Louis and a disastrous blow to the Democratic party ata critical time, when the party is com- ing into a splendid opportunity to regain control] of the.City Government. Knowing all of this the leading Demo- crats of St. Louis will fall far short of their duty to themselves, to the Democ- racy and the State Administration if they fail to make clear to Goy. Stephens the fatal nature of the blunder which would be involved in the appointment of Brady.

Answering “# P, A."’ on “City Hall Af- fairs,”’ in last Thursday's issue, I have this to say: . Ile is evidently not aware of the true situation, as he is too rough on Mayor Zie- genhein and too easy on the “Boss” of the Republican party. The political record of Ziegenhein shows him to be true and grate- ful to friends, whereas the political path of is strewn with the wrecks his Filley workers and friends. Whatever may be the sins of the Liouse of Delegates they were decidedly right in resenting. the lash of Filley’s whip and | evening up scores with him by reorganiz- ing and deposing a Speaker known to be his willing tool. It Ils an open and unden!ed secret that Filley named every committee both in Council, less, gives to the press his op'nion of mu- nicipal boodling. Filley is sly—‘‘devilish | sliy.”” No one Knows better than he the railroad bill which was supposed to be Sweeney’s measure was killed in the com- mittee of the House of Delegates by his orders, and the North and South bill bolted through by the Speaker he controlled, and as he demanded, with a vote sufficient to carry it over a veto of the Mayor. When it obtained nine votes in the Council and the President announced it ‘‘passed”’ it was Filley’s crowning triumph. The Mayor's veto could not stop it at this point; the Mayor was out of the game. Filley must “be seen.” His pair of sand- baggers in the Council could do the high- way act. Their individual votes could be changed if the railroads would do “right thing,” ‘but Filley must prove his power to cinch the Council; and is it not plain that the President's refusal to sign the bill, which he declared obtained nine votes and was passed, was the demand of Filley who named him to that office on the Republican ticket? What better evidence iey tools in the Council? A railroad that would not “cough up” lose its ffanchise.

City Hall Carpenter Work Will Cost , $2,000 More Than a “For- eign” Company Bid. Judge Flitcraft, in Division No. 2 of the Cireuftt Court, gave a decision Tuesday in the suit brought by Edwin P. Moritz, Sec- retary of thé Westlake Construction Co., to énjoin the Mayor and the Board of Public Improvements from awarding the contract for the carpenter work on the new City Hall to Conrad Kellermann, The in- junction was dented. The Westlake Company was the lowest bidder on the first letting for the work. All the bids under this letting were thrown out. Moritz claimed that this was for the “trivial’’ reason that the Westlake Com- any was not a home company and that fn he charter was violated in failing to award the contract to the lowest bidder. Kellermann was the lowest bidder on the reletting. Jn his return (City Counselor Marshall said it was necessary to have the dressing and mill work done tn St. Louis because the lumber could not otherwise be in- spected by agents of the city without Incon- veniencé and expense. Pursuant to the power reserved in the invitation for proposals the Board of Public Improvements, at the the City Hall Commission, rejected all the proposals and advertised a reletting, The lowest bid on the first letting was $28, 562, under the second $30,500, ‘‘Home rule’ in this instance, therefore, cost al- most $2,000. This was one of the grounds of the sutt. Mr. Marshall claimed, as an offset to this. that the average of all the bids was lower on thé aecond letting than on the first an that the difference of $2,000 in the lowest bi: would have bee n eaten up In the additional cost of inspection. The lowest average was due to the fact that the two highest bidders on the first léi- ting did not make proposals on the second. Mr. Marshall clatmed that the plaintiff had no right to matntain the action as a taxpayer, because his taxes could not be fn- creased, no matter what the Board of Pub- He Improvements might do. as the constitu- tional limit had heen reached. Besides it Was 4 gOVve rnme ntal question and not sub- ject to judicial review.

HE BLAMES THE “ONE-EYED.” The 014 Man Insiste That Patrick Made Him Go to Bed and Stay There. The discord in the house of Shan:d&in, 2242 Dickson street, Is active and the breach between fathér and son has well-nigh passed the healing point. Michael Shanahan has long been a char- acter in Kérry Patch. He and his three grown children, two sons and a daughter, live in a rickety ‘threé-room, one-story frame shanty. There is a very narrow path through the tall weeds from the front door to the broken one-hinged gate. In the rear is a suctession of board sheds in keeping with the dflapidated house. From these sheds the Shanaghan’s have long carried on a small coal and ice bust- ness. The A4auehter does the cooking and looks after a flock of yellow-legged, dominecker chickens. Mrs. Shanahan died several years ago. A week ago Michael Shanahan had hfs son Patrick arrested for assault and disturbing the peace. Patrick lay '!n jail séveral days. He is a big, muscular fellow, perhaps 30, and has had troubles of his own. He was mar- ried several years ago and his wife is suing for a divorce. Patrick was released from jail Saturday and went home to have a reckoning. He had it and as a result Shanahan, Sr.. is a fugitive from his ancient domicile. t Monday the elder Shanahan, haggard and iim went to the Four Courts and wanted Patrick rearrested, This request was refused, though he gave abundant rea- sons, from his own standpoint, why it should be done. He safd that when Patrick reached home Saturday eévening he forced him into a room, stripped him of all his re, made him go to bed and threatened to kill him if he tried to é@scape. He Was held a prisoner all Sunday night and until long after sunrise, when Patrick fell asleep. The oJd man then-stole out of the house in hts night clothes to a nelahbor’s, borrowed a suit of ciothes and made his ay to the warrant office. He vase afraid to return home, he said, as -atrick had threaténed to “break his bones. Patrick tells quite a different story. He says that when he reached home Saturday his sister told him their father was out in the alley drunk and had been on a spree all week. He went out, hauled the old man into the house and put him to bed. He remained in bed al) Sunday, but when the family rosé Monday morning the father was gone, and they have not seen nor heard of him since, “He had me arrested,’ sald Patrick, ‘“‘be- cause I kicked ‘One-Eyed’ Shanahan out of the house. ‘One-Eyed’ is a notorious police character, who claims that the old man is his uncle, but hé ts no kin to us. I objected to his bringing things here that I didn't know the owners of. He's got a brother in the penitentiary now, and don't propose that he shall take any of us along with him. He loafs with fathér, and they are full ‘of mean whisky all the time. Because I[ put him out and in doing so handled him roughly I was arrested. “I didn’t keep father prisoner.’’ ‘founger brother and sister corrobo- ated ‘trick’s statement. — - “BAD EYE” GRIMES WILL RECOVER.

When Grimes was received at the hos- tal his wounds were thought to be fatal. ad he not possessed a constitution of iron he would have died before this. Ags it is, Dr. Sutter says he will recover. One ball entered the collar bone and passed through the left lung. The other entered the smal) of the back. Neither ball was removed.

It Explains Why He and Roeber Have Left the Cham- pion, There does not appear a word of truth $n the statement that Bob Fitzsimmons has had a row with his old trainers, Ernest Roeber and Dan Hickey. Hickey is a St. Louls boy and has loads of friends here. Hickey used to spar here with Jake Holtman, the crack St. Louls heavyweight, who went on at the Standard with Tom Sharkey during the latter’s re- cent visit here. Hickey, in a letter to Holtman, says there : 4s mo truth whatever in the stories set afloat to the effect that he had fallen out with the champion. . Hickey, who has made a name for himself ; as Bob Fitzgsimmon’s sparring partner, writes, that he will not g° out on the road with the Australian during his ; tour of the States the coming season. He \ eet aie however, had not fallen out with Fitz, however. He simply leaves him because he (Hickey) and j Ernest Roeber, the wrestler, who was also with Fitz, have started up a school of hysical culture in New York City, and it 4 ; Sas proved such a good paying investment ) that Hickey has concluded to retire from 7 : the ring for the presess at least. trouble with his trainers, Hickey and Roeber, Fitzsimmons yester- day had this to say: ‘The stories do me @ great injustice. I have not fallen out with either Roeber or Hickey. I left Roeber Saturday night. He has always received his salary and good treatment while in ; gy employ. In other words, I don’t be- : lieve Ernest has quit, and Dan has #een engaged in running a boxing school] for some time on h's own hook. There has never been geome | but the best feeling between myself and my trainers, and if either of them has left the combination m manager has not informed me of it. want to be set right in the matter, as any business arrangements between them and my manager do not in any way affect our } personal friendship.” % Of the reporte But this is only one of the libels circulated about Fitz since hs retirement. His separa- 1 tion from Hickey and Roeber, although vol- untary on both sides, makes it appear as : though Fitz had retired for good from the prize ring, or that he had concluded not to do any fighting for a long while. One thing 4s certain, if he had any intention of meet- ing Corbett at any time in the near future he ~ Ao not have parted with Hickey and ocbper., ‘ “DAD” CLARKE REBELS.

When President Pulllam went into hie hotel to arrange for the club to go to Pawtucket, where they played a Sunday game with the local team, in which James J. Corbett played first base, he met “Dad.” who had not shown up that day to practice or was not on hand when the club started for the grounds. He saw at once that he was in no condition to leave the city. He evidently had been celebrating his return to Greater New York. He was fully loaded \ to the guards and he and Pulliam had some hot words. He insisted that he would go. The president said no. Clarke assured the President that he was not big enough to stop him, but the head Colonel stood pat. “Dad” was fined and is still in the city of his former triumph, and if he does not mend his ways he will not play ball any more this season. The Lou'!svilles have pitchers mee h not to be bluffed by a man like - *Dad.”’ ; } In the course of his remarks, ‘‘Dad’’ told C the President that he was too good to play , ball with any Southern or Western clubs; . that he belonged in the East, and that he would get back, even though Joyce had . sent him to the land of the Bourbon, .

If they could steal bases with a balloon and have their opponents spiked to the NED HANLON To Manage the Philadelphians at Ten Thousand Dollars a Year. Special to the Post-Dispatch. EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark., Aug. 2%4.—Ned Hanlon, whose success as manager of the thrice champion Baltimore Club of the Na- tional League has brought him world-wide fame, will leave that club at the end of this season. He will go to Philadelphia at a salary of $10,000 a year, with a five-year contract. One of the most widely known base ball men in the country, who has been stopping at this resort, is authority for this Ssiatement. Several causes have operated to bring about this arrangement. First, Philadelphia is sadly in need of a successful manager, and its base ball lead- ers are impressed with Hanlon’e success at Baltimore. They consider h's peculiar abil- ity in selecting and making major league stars of minor league material just the qualities needed to give Philadelph'a a good club and possibly a pennant winner. Then, Hanlon is dissat «fied, not to say disgusted, with his Baltimore environments. Hanlon considers that he alone is responsible for the pennant-winning successes of the Orioles. Young Vonderhorset belleves that he is, in a large measure, the mascot of the Bal- timore base ball situation. He places his money interest in the team as a factor in producing results above Hanlon’s fore- sight in estimating on the qualities of play- ers engaged and policies pursued. This has made Hanlon “sore,”” and has been productive of a degree of suppressed fric- ton between himself and Vonderhorst. The latter is the sole owner of the Baltimore franchise, left him by his father, and w'll pe pe no one to procure an interest in it. jlanlon doesn't like thie. League Pennant Race. Won. Lost. P.

TUESDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 24, 1897. rei ar fae DAY: HAS: FTZ_ RETIRED? | HIS SEPARATION FROM HIS | TRAINERS MAKES IT LOOK . THAT WAY. A LETTER FROM DAN HICKEY. ie ¢ * Jt Explains Why He and Roeber ‘Have Left the Cham- pion, --———"_ There does not appear a word of truth fn the statement that Bob Fitzsimmons has had a row with his old trainers, Ernest Roeber and Dan Hickey. . Hickey is a St. Louls boy and has loads of friends here. Hickey used to spar here with Jake Holtman, the crack St. Louis ° heavyweight, who went on at the Standard 7 | with Tom Sharkey during the latter's re- cent visit here. Hickey, in a letter to Holtman, says there ; 4s no truth whatever in the stories set afloat to the effect that he had fallen out é . with the champion. : Hickey, who has made a naene for himself ’ as Bob Fitzsimmon’s sparring partner, ; writes, however, that he will not 5° out on the road with the Australian during his | tour of the States the coming season. He 2 a_etem had not fallen out with Fitz, however. He simply leaves him because he (Hickey) and Ernest Roeber, the wrestler, who was also with Fitz. have started up a school of hysical culture in New York City, and it cas proved such a good paying investment \. ; that Hickey has concluded to retire from the ring for the present at least. Of the reported trouble with his trainers, Hickey and Roeber, Fitzsimmons yester- day had this 'to say: ‘The stories do me | a great injustice. I have not fallen out with either Roeber or Hickey. I left Roeber Saturday night. He has always received his salary and good treatment while in ; eny employ. In other words, I don’t be- ; lieve Ernest has quit, and Dan has #een engaged in running a boxing school for some time on h’'s own hook. There has never been ony ning but the best feeling between myself and my trainers, and if either of them has left the combination my manager has not informed me of it. I want to be set right in the matter, as any business arrangements between them and my manager do not in any way affect our ' personal fr'endship.”’ But this is only one of the lfbels circulated about Fitz since hs retirement. His separa- , tion from Hickey and Roeber, although vol- . untary on both sides, makes it appear as though Fitz had retired for good from the prize ring, or that he had concluded not to do any fighting for a long while. One thing 4s certain, if he had any intention. of meet- ing Corbett at any time in the near future yy x not have parted with Hickey and oeber. —_----H - --— ‘ “DAD” CLARKE REBELS. Gets a Jag and a Swelled Head and Is Left Behind. Special to the Post-Dispatch. > NEW YORK, Aug. &4.—‘‘Dad” Clarke did not leave New York with the Louisville team. When President Pulllam went into hie hotel to arrange for the club to go to Pawtucket, where they played a Sunday game with the local team, in which James J. Corbett played first base, he met “Dad.” who had not shown up that day to practice or was not on hand when the club started for the grounds. He saw at once that he was in no condition to leave the city. He evidently had been celebrating his return to Greater New York. He was fully loaded \ to the guards and he and Pulliam had some hot words. He insisted that he would go. The president said no. Clarke assured the President that he was not big enough to stop him, but the head Colonel stood pat. “Dad” was fined and is atill in the city of his former triumph, and if he does not mend his ways he will not play ball any more this season. The Louitsvilles have pitchers ey h not to be bluffed by a man like “ "—"")aa.”" j In the course of his remarks, ‘‘Dad’’ told P the President that he was too good to play : ball with any Southern or Western clubs; - ae " * en |" : atte 2 br Oe Sheet ee eee, = veh .

Sees No Impropriety in Such a Course and Has Selected a Well- Equipped Representative. CHICAGO, Aug. &.—Rev. Robert McIn- tyre, the popular Methodist divine, well known in Denver and Chicago, is interested in the new gold fields. The minister will treat his case of “gold fever” homeopathi- cally, however, by sending a proxy up the Yukon. The man selected by the divine to secure for him a mine of shining gold is Edward Page Gaston, a newspaper man and ex- plorer, whose researches with the Hemen- way archaeological expedition, in 1888, ob- tained for him recognition as an explorer and student of American and Mexican an- tiquities. ater Mr. Gaston spent several years as an attache of the American Legation in Old Mexico. While in Mexico he also organized the Pan-American Press Association. The Methodist poster confided his plans to a friend, as follows: “Ever since Klondike was first brought to the attention of the reading public I have been interested in the accounts the old fields. I know of no reason Ww a ethodist parson should not search for old. I am thoroughly in earnest in this matter and anxious to secure a promising tlatm. Mr. Gaston goes, if at all, at my suggestion and at my expense, but he is also actuated by the value of such a trip to the student and lecturer. It is not yet definitely settled that Mr. Gaston will go, but it will be if I overcome the slight ob- — which now stand in the way of my esire.”’ Mr. Gaston smiled when asked if he’ were to take an Alaskan trip as proxy of the Rev. Mr. McIntyre. “I have been of- fered an opportunity of going to Alaska.” he said, “and at another’s expense. The greatest obstacle is the climate. Hitherto my explorations have lain among the torrid deserts of Arizona and New Mexico and from Cliff Dwellers and buried cities to ice- ber and limitless cold there lies an un- healthy span. However, the temptation Is great and I may yield.’ Mr. Depew Is an Investor. NDPW YORK, Aug. 4.—W. J. Arkell, who claims a large portion of the Alaska min- ing region under right of discovery by an exped:tion fitted out by him, has made a deal for the sale of a part of his property to a syndicate. Chauncey M. Depew is said to be a member of the syndicate which has bought Mr. Arkell's land and also a slice of Joseph Ladue’s eg in Dawson City. Besides Dr. Depew, H. Walter Webb and other Vanderbilt directors are reputed members of the new company. A New Canadian Rotte. OTTAWA, Ont., one 24.—The Min'ster of the Interior has left for a brief holiday on the Atlantic coast, but before his departure he reached a most important decision. It was to the effect that a small detachment of mounted police should at once proceed from Edmonton, Alberta, and endeavor to reach the Klondike coun from the east- ern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Ed- monton is the most northerly railway point | in the Canadian Northwest Territory, be- ing 190 north of Calgary. The route to be followed is by the way of the Nelson and lard Rivers to the Dease and up this river to the Pelly. They will follow the Pelly River to its junction with t and the Lees to the Klondike, a total of 1,370 miles. This is not the McKenzle River route. As the police are to take horses with them it Is obvious that the authorities consider this route practicable, or, at any rate, worth examining. The Mexico’s Officers Punished. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 244.—The Board of Inquiry on the wreeking of the steamship Mexico in Dixon's Entrance, on Thursday, August 6, has revoked the pilot's papers of Capt. Thomas, master of the steamer, and suspended him for sixty days. The papers of Pilot Connell, who was on the bridge at the time of the disaster, have been revoked for a period of thirty days. Skaguay Trail Impassable. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 24.—The steamer Rosalie, which arrived here yesterday from Dyea and Skaguay, reports that there are about 4,000 poses at Skaguay, and that the trajl is still impassable. About 900 miners are working upon it, and it is expected that it will be ready in a few weeks. Not over | 20 men have crossed over in the last three weeks. High Prices at Skaguay. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. %4.—Capt. A. A. Rankin of the Tacoma Fire Department sends from Skaguay the following list of prices prevalling there: Horses, from to $300, eggs, per dozen, 40c; cucumbers, each, 10c; apples, three for 10c; potatoes, per pound, 3c; cheese, 2c; coffee, 4c; but- ter, per roll, 75c; condensed milk, per can, 2c: onions, per pound, 2%c; flour, per sack, $1.25; ham, per pound, 18c; bacon, 15c; sugar, 10c; salt, 15c; baking powder, per can, 75c;- beans, per pound, 5c; rice, 7c; tobacco, Tic; oranges, per dozen, 75c; candles, four for 25c; meats, 70c: whiskey, per quart, $3.50; hay. per ton, $#; oats, per ton, $50.

A Pitiful Accident at the Eouse of Farmer Kyanning, on the Tracey Road Near Jen- nings Heights, Five-year-old Tillie Kranning Is threat- ened with total blindness, If not death, at the farm house of her father, August Kran- ning, on the Tracey road, near Jennings Heights. Her critical condition is due to the fact that her half-brother, 12-year-old Willie Kranning, fired a gun point blank in her face while Farmer Kranning and his’ wife were in the city. Willie didn’t Know it was loaded with a heavy charge of powder. He’s sorry now. One of the most. remarkable features of the shooting is the nerve displayed by the little faxen-haitred girl. “It is wonderful,” said Dr. F. H. Auf- derheide, the Walnut Park physician, who was summoned to the farm after the shoot- ing. “Her courage under the circumstances would be remarkable in even a stalwart soldier.’’ : As the sightless child, with her face and forehead torn and swollen; lay in the arms of her mother Tuesday, she insisted on tell- ‘ing the story of the shooting herself. She is strangely intelligent for a little one of ber years. | Tite is the youngest child of Farmer Kranning, the daughter of his second wife. With her half-sister, also named Tillie, and her three half-brothers; Willie, Gus and Freddie, dnd another half-sister, Minnie, she was left playing in the farm-house when her father and mother drove into the city on business at 8 o’clock In the morning. Two hours later Mike Kelly, .the hired man at work in the field, was startled by the report of a gun in the house. When he rushed into the sitting room adjoining the kiteohen, little Tillie was staggering in a dazed condition across the floor. Her face and forehead were lacerated and blood flow- ed from a wound between the eyes. The hired man clasped the child in his arms. “Willie shot me!’ she calmly said ‘as she tried to point in the direction of the boy who stood holding a shotgun alongside of his younger brother, Gus, both lads speechless with fright. “But Willie didn’t mean to hurt me. He was only playin’,”* added Tillie, with mag- nanimity. “‘“Mike, please wash my face. It pains So and I can’t see.’’ Kelly tenderly washed the child’s torn face, while one of the, boys was sent to alarm the nearest neighbeor,.

CARRYING LOADS ESCAPED IN A ROBE OF WHITE —— Fleeing Vision Seen on Frank- lin Avenue Was the Unfor- tunate Mrs. Hinchcliffe, The big front door of the Baptist Hos- pital at Garrison and Franklin avenues swung open Monday evening about ‘8 o’ Glock. A woman, clad only in a short white night gown, ran down the broad stone steps. She pauSed a moment to look about her and then hurried east on Franklin ave- nue, , Residents in the fashionable neighbor- hood were seated ohn thelr lawns or stroll- ing on the sidewalks and several hundred people saw the startling vision in white. The woman had gone half.a block when she weakened and caught hold of a tree box for support. A Gozen people ran to her assistance but before they could reach her she regainéd her Yéet and Malf ran, half staggered to the corner of Ewing and Franklin avenues. Two men‘ had fdllowed the woman from the hospftal. They came up with her as she reached the’ corner. The taller of the men put his hand on her shoulder. She turned, looked at him in a startled way, screamed and fainted in his arms. A great crowd had gathered. Men, women and children followed the man who carried the woman. He took her to 2888 Morgan street, laid her on ‘the pavement and rang the front door bell. Another man came out and helped him carry the woman instde. The identity of the woman was a mystery until Tuesday morning, when it was tearned that she was Mrs. Mary Hincheliffe. She and her husband board at 2838 Morgan street. She said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday: “I ran away from the Baptist Hospital because they wouldn't give me, morphine. “I have a stomach trouble that gives me constant pain and I have to have morphine to ease Ht. I went to the hospital Saturday night. sey gave me medicine I didn’t like and yesterday afternoon I planned to run away; het ‘“Iiwaited until after supper when the day { nurses were going off duty and I slipped dowm ttairs and got«away. “Dr, Morris and an assistant followed me. Dr. Mortis slapped me in the face and his assistant tried to give me:chieroform. Then they brought me home. I have had all the morphine I wanted since FI got out.” Mrs. Hinchcliffe has been In the City Hos- ital ofténer than any woman in St. Louis. he has escaped from there three times. Dr. Morris of the Baptist Hospital says she is a confirmed morphine fiend and that want of the drug turned her head. He says her charge that he slapped her and his assistant tried to administer chloro- form is manifestly. absurd and the result of one of her dreams: She is still at ber home and Dr. Morris says she will not be FULLERTON WALLS RIGHT.

The Mitchell woman attempted to burn herself to death. The desperate biask now occupies a cot in her cell, She is swathed in bandages. Her escape from instant cremation wads almost miraculous. About 10 o'clock Monday night the Mitchell woman remarked to her cell mates, Ewing and —_—— os Mattie Mary Brooks, that she LUCY MITCHELL. was tired of life.

This was repea(cd half a dozen times. Then without another word of: warning. the distracted prisoner applied a lighted match to the frayed edges of her garments Pe ane by continuous contact with jail dirt. A sudden puff, a quick flash, and Lucy Mitchell was a mass of fre from her feet} to her head. The blaze blinded the other women in the cell. But they exhibited rare presence of mind. With the scanty aNewance of cPothing at hand they smothered the flames at the same timé screaming for help. With the strength of an Amazon, the Mitehell woman fought the women who res- cued her. Like a wild beast, she Gawed with her long finger nafls, but the rescuers were persistent. The guards reached the scene of the fire as quickly as possible and by prompt action prevented a general con- flagrat.on. When the flames had been quenched, Dr. Reber of the City Dispensary was called to attend the Mitchell woman, The doctor found her serfously burned about the hips, on the legs and on one shoulder. It ts be- lieved, however, that she will recover, al- though her condition 4s critical. The woman pegged piteously to be sent to the City Hospital, but this was denied ner. She upbraided her cellmates for sav- ing her from death. She declares death preferable to the pain she is suffering.

ECHO OF A WHEAT SHORTAGE, WELL-KNOWN BROKER'S NOTE OFFERED FOR SALE AT PUBLIO VENDUE, BUT WITHDRAWN. HE SAYS IT WAS ONLY A BLUFF, The Old St. Louis United Elevator’s Bond Issue Again Uppermost-— Other Stockholders Have Refused to Pay. The directors of the old St, Louis United Elevator and J. B. Johnson, a stockholder, are having an interesting controversy over the payment of a noté for $6,441.75, issued by Johnson and held unpaid by the elevator directors. Johnson refuses to pay and the directors advertised in the newspapers that the note would be offered for sale at the east door of the Court-house at noon Monday. In the same Issue, directly beneath this advertisement, was another card, signed © by Chester H. Krum, Johnson's attorney, stating that the note was valueless, es been issued without consideration, an notice was given that payment would be contested. The sale did not take place. “This is an echo of that mysterious 600,« 000 bushels shortage, a year and a half ago,™ gaid Mr. Johnson. : “That many bushels of wheat disappeared and was never accounted for. This short-- age created a deficit of $485,000 and the di- rectors decided to issue second mortgage bends to that amount. The stockholdere signed agreements to take a pro rata amoung of the new bonds. My share amounted te about $10,000. I paid some, and there re- mains $6,441.75 unpaid, The reason this is unpaid ig that it was discovered that the so-called second mortgage bonds were mis- named. They were in reality third and fourth mortgage bonds and were not wor the paper they were written on. When learned this. I paid no more. “Ww. Stevenson of the Century Law Journal, 919 Olive street, was also a stock- holder. He agreed to take his pro rate share of the bonds. But he paid nothing, He saw that the bonds were not what they urported to be. He said he was ready to Ifill his part of the contract, but he would not invest his money in worthless securi- ties. The directors instituted guits against him in both Judges Dillon's and Spencer's courts. In each case the court found for the defendant. “With this precedent before them I de not see how they could pect me to j that note. They tried to bluff me into pa ing It, but I galled thelr > om th! Now, my lawyer, Judge Krum, ne suit a ona the directors will Rot 6 issued bonds purporting to be second morte gage bonds when they were practically vale ueless. It is probable I will institute @ eulg a‘net the d'rectors for doing this. ‘eb M. Samuel, the present mane of the newly re-organized Conso eaten eva- tor Company, which absorbed the Unit Flevator property, cla!ms to know nothin of the controversy between Johnson an the directors. “Johnson owes that note if any man ever owed another a dollar,” said W. T. Ander- son, who was manager of the elevator when the bondg were issued. “He is merely trying to avoid payments His claim about buying third and fourt mortgage bonds when he was t t were second mortgage bonds is all rot. Th bonds were advertised for sale publicly he favored tt. He knew what he was bers ing, or if he did not it was his own fault, pe baught the bonds and issued his note a s his partner. He poet oe em. “Stevenson In a law sult because he swore he never signed any agreement to take them, There war never any trouble about the bonds, outside of Johnson, and Stevenson, . his partner.” Mr. Anderson merely laughed when he was told that Johnson contemplated insti- tung criminal proceedings against the di- rectors.

H. W. Steinbiss, Secretary of the Building Trades Council, received a letter Tuesday morning from W. C. Pearce, Secretary of the Mine Workers’ Union, notifying him of Mr. Carson’s coming. “We shall do nothing, of course,” said Mr. Bteinbiss, “until the representative reaches here and consults with us. “My own desire is to get the Exposition Building. Its managers should let us have it free of cost. It would be a great feather in their cap, and enable the working people to hold a convention which may be memor- able in the history of this country. “We have been anticipating this con- ference cal] for several days, and a num- ber of the organizations had already ap- pointed committees, to be in readiness for perfecting arrangements.” Grant Luce, Secretary of the Trades and Labor Union, had also received notification of Mr. Carson's coming. Last Sunday the union appointed a com- mittee, consisting of ‘Luce, Hofher, Diecke, White and Zeller, to act in the matter. This was prior to the issuance of the call, but it was desired to have everything in readiness. 5S. Webster, representing the Debs’ Army of the Unemployed, said: “I have received no word from Mr. Debs to-day, but we shall hold a little meeting this afternoon and communicate with him. “We were in the midst of preparations for A mass meeting tn the interest of our army at which Mr. Debs was to speak, but he ha fixed no date. Now that he must be here Monday next, we hope to secure the Olympic Theater. Whether we can hold this meet- ing as incidental merely to the mass conven- tion called by labor leaders, remains to be determined. It would please us, of course, to have them one and the same. “Our army had a good gathering last night at the Grant statue, and will have an- other Wednesday night. A visit from Debs will give us a big boom, no doubt.” It ig generally understood among the labor organizations, that Mr. Carson its clothed with ample authority to determine ail the necessary arrangements here for the mass convention and conference, and he will be — by all the local] secretaries and commit- ees. The call, issued by Pugene V. Debs from gerre Haute, Ind., Monday night, reads as follows: “TERRE HAUT®, Ind., Aug. 23, 1897.—To the Social Democracy and All Lovers of Lib- erty and Fair Play: Greeting—A mass con- vention will be held at St. Louis, Monday, August 30. in the interest of the striking, starving cogl miners. The official call has been issued by the executive board of the United Mine Workers, and indorsed by the executive heads of the American Federa- tion of Labor and the Knights of Labor. I understand that this convention is called mot to pass idle resolutions, but to take ee gs vigorous and united action, and this eing the case, I appeal to the Soctal De- mocracy and to all lovers of liberty and humanity to meet at St. Louis on the da named, to lend a hand to the stricken, suf- fering miners of the country. “The tnjunction has agais done its dead- ly work.

That there has been no violence and bloodshed in the miners’ strike is simply beeauee the judges and sheriffs and deputies have been unable to provoke an outbreak. The miners have patiently, meekly submitted to the most flagrant in- sults and abuses. “The hour hae struck to call a halt.

In one of them she thrust her arm in her mouth and with her sharp teeth badly lacerated the flesh. Bertha lives with her mother, and step- father, John Surkamp, at 4213 Louisiana avenue. Since she was a child she has been subject to fainting spelis and fits, but re- cently they have been more severe than ever. Monday her condition was such that her mother feared ehe would kill herself and she sent her to the City Hospital for treatment. When Bertha was three years old she fell from a bannister and fractured her skull. Since then she has at intervals suffered from fits. Dr. Sutter made an examination and found that a piece of bone was pressing on the brain. He believeg if the pressure is re- moved the cause for the disorders will be removed and she will be well.

The first witnesses examined were the employes from ihe head clerk's office and citizens of Fultog. The evidence brought out that the Rock Islanders were led by Johnson and that as soon as they left the train they began a shower of rocks and clubs and that a number were provided with revolvers. When about one-third of the witnesses fo, the prosecution were heard, the defense waived further examination and gave bond for appearance at the October term of Cir- cult Court In Whiteside County.

GROSCH’S WIFE PROSTRATED. V————— ee it Is Believed He Is Journeying To- wards the Klondike, but May Be Patronizing the Fair Grounds. George Fasnet, the barber of Jefferson avenue, above North Market, was a busy man Tuesday morning. He had found a ‘lue Monday night which he hoped would lead to the location of his dark-eyed, black- haired wife, who disappeared Wednesday last. About the same hour of the same day Charles Grosch, a rival barber of Fasnet, across the street at 2420 North Jefferson ave- nue, was found to be missing by his wife. “T have learned something to-day that gives me a clue to the whereabouts of my wife, but I will not give any further infor- mation than that I will follow that clue up to-morrow,” said the stalwart, rosy-faced husband of the missing woman. ‘Has any trace of the barber across the street been found?’’ was asked. “T know nothing of that man,” said Bar- ber Fasnet, as his eves flashed, and the color of his face deepened to a crimson tinge. Mrs. Grosch and Fasnet had a consulta- tion last Friday. While there was nothing to show that Grosch had run away with his rival's wife, the deserted man and woman agreed to let each other know if either learned anything as to the missing life partners. While Fasneticlaimed he had secured a clew as to the movements of Mrs. Fasnet, the deserted Mrs. Grosch has found two young men who say they have seen her hus- band since his disappearance. One of the men said he saw Grosch in the business part of the city last Thursday. The other stated he met the barber Friday. Grosch formerly played the races, and some believe that traces of him might be found in the neighborhood of the Fair Grounds, since the pool-rooms have closed. Still, for several weeks, he had talked of little else than the new Eldorado of. the Klondike region, and some of his friends believe he has gone to seek his fortune in the new gold fields. While he failed to sell his barber-shop last week, he was well- supplied with cash when he left his wife | and 4-year-old son in the cozy home at 250 Benton street. The wife, who had led a happy life since her marriage to Grosch, seven years ago, is almost prostrated. She has eaten little and slept less s‘nce her husband left her. She has never given up the hunt for the missing man. She continues the barber shop business abandoned by her husband, but most of her time is consumed in efforts to locate Grosch. “If I don’t find him,” she said. “TI will die within a month. I am nearly dead now from the blow.’”’ Barber Grosch and Mrs. Fasnet were never known to have spoken to each other. While there were no open hostilities be- tween the rival tonsorial artists, still their relations could only be described as that of armed neutrality. Grosch, who 's a paper hangef as well as a barber, opened up his shop on Jefferson avenue Wednesday a year ago. the following Friday Fasnet put up his pole across the street and the relations of the two men were never neighborly. In fact they never spoke to each other. “And I never spoke to the woman and she never spoke to me,” says Mrs. Grosch. First Exposition Announcement. General Passenger Agent Townsend of the Missouri!

MANY CRUEL MISFORTUNES. Previous Disappearance of a Daughter and the Body of His Son Found Floating in the River. Death has made Frank Eten halt in his search of the city for his missing 16-year- old daughter, Jennie. He has been recalled to his home at Highland, IIl., by the death of a near relative. This is only another of.a series of mis- fortunes that have befallen him in recent years. One of the cruelest blows seems to be the disappearance of Jennie, a pretty, brown-hdired, blue-eyed girl, who mysteri- ously left the parsonage of the Church of the Holy Ghost, at Grand and Page ave- nues, where she was employed as a domes- tic by the family of the Rev. Peter Ilgen, about ten days ago. The eto-y of how the girl in a dazed con- dition was found on the street late at night several days afterward by a policeman, and released the next morning at the Dayton Street Station just five minutes before her friends appeared to report her as missing, has been told in the Post-Dispatch. To Strangers who had befriended her she had Said that a strange young man had stolen her purse and abandoned her on an excur- sion steamer. When found by the police- man the girl said she had lost consciousness after another young man had given her a lass of beer. She was only recently from ighland and knew nothing of the dangers of city life. By a singular ¢oincidence an elder sister reg iistes | disappeared from the old home at Highland about a year ago. Her father then journeyed here, made a search of St. motes and found her employed as a domes- c About the same time the body of the brother of the girls was found floating in the Mississippi! River. The father en- deavored to solve the mystery of his son's death, but it was never learned how he had come to meet his fate. Jennie is a daughter by a second wife, her father having been thrice married. He still believes the girl is alive and he means to return to the city and renew his search for her. He fears she has fallen into evil hands and is kept a prisoner in the city. Day and night the father continued his hunt in questionable parts of the city, until the death of his relative recalled him tem- porarily to the old home in Highland. WANTS TO GO BACK HOME. Frederick Christian of Noblesville, Ind., Has Had Enough Liberty. Frederick Christian, aged 16, would like very much to return to his home at Nobles- ville, Ind. He has had enough of adventure in freedom to last him some time. Two things prevent his going immediately. One is that he has no money, and the other is he is detained by the Marshall because he owes the city a $10 fine for trespass, as- sessed by Judge Zimmerman. Christian says that he was guided to St. Louis by another boy named Hoss Rhodes. Hoss said he had folks here and anyhow they could get jobs as ‘‘bell hops’”’ at any of the big hotels. ‘“‘Bell hop”’ is end of the century English for bell boy. Christian had -spent all his money and lay down on a lumber pile to sleep. When he awoke, Hoss Rhodes, the guide, phil- osopher and friend could not be found. Christian, unlike the one in ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,” decided to turn back. The slough of despond looked too form'dable. He climbed on an Iron Mountain freight train, which looked to him as if it ought to go to Indiana or somewhere near there. He was only aboard a moment when he was arrested and locked up. His account of himself did not suit the Judge, who put him down for a runaway, so he fined him $10 to hold him in case he was wanted. THEY GET 100 MANY ODORS. Hardware Dealers Object to the Prox- imity of a Kitchen, The Hynson Hardware Company, of 204 North Sixth street, has been trying to have the Health Commissioner declare the Broad- way Cafe a nuisance, but the commissioner on the report of two inspectors refuses to do so, The hardware firm complains that the cafe maintains two big exhaust fans that blow all the kitchen odors into their alley door and fill the store with such a disagreeable smell that neither employes nor customers can breathe in comfort. When the inspectors reported to the com- missioners that the complaint was not well taken he paid no more attention to it. Tuesday he received a letter from the hardware firm warning him that if he did not have the alleged nuisance abated, they would not only institute suit for damages against the city but immer call the at- tention of the Mayor to the dereliction of the sanitary officers. Commissioner Starkoff made a tart reply to these threats, saying: “The Mayor can be found in his office from 8 a. m,. too p. Mm. ROUND THE WORLD FOR LOVE. F. Allen McQuary Will Pause at the Famous. F. Allen McQuary, formerly editor of a Neosho (Mo.) paper, is expected to arrive in St. Louis to-day on a novel journey. After selling his paper at Neosho, Mo., last spring he went to Arkansas, where he met the beautiful daughter of a planter and fell in love with her. The father, desiring to prove the affection and constancy of the lover, so the story runs, eaid he would consent to the mar- riage provided McQuary made a trip around the world, starting without a cent and taking with him two hounds. If he re- turned with both dogs he was to receive $5.000; if with one dog, 4,000; if with neither dog, $3,000, and in any event—he havin circled the globe—he should have the gir as his wife. According to the provisions of the con- tract he was to secure the signature of the Mayor at every town where he stopped, and of the Governor of every State he paseed through. He is also to secure the autograph of the sovereign of every country he visits. While in St. Louls, where he arrived this morning, his headquarters will be at the ‘“Famous,”’ where he will be glad to meet and converse with the public, relating his wonderful experiences in his hazardous but interesting journey. According to the contract he must com. plete the journey in e'ghteen months. He arrived at Kirkwood Sunday night. Edmund Lyons Gone to New York. Edmund D.

George Campbell, a laborer, living at 2806 Adams street, got home about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning and a row followed be- tween him and his wife. Sleeping in an adjoining room was their 16-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Angry words between her parents aroused her. Jumping from the bed she dashed into the room, just as the irate father picked up a lghted lamp to hurl at her mother. Rebecca sprang between them and threw up her hands, crying to her father to de- sist. He threw the lamp with all his strength at his wife’s head. The chimney struck the daughter hand, cutting it badiy in several places. The lighted lamp smashed to pieces against the wall. Mrs. Campbell jerked up the wick and flung it out the open window before the oil could ignite. The daughter, throwing her arms around her father, held him until he was quieted, ani then she and her mother went to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Edgar Thomp- son dressed the brave little girl's wounds.
