TRIED 10 AIL THE PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL Rio Janeiro, the Capital, Has Been Placed Under Martial Law and Talk of Revolution Is Heard 3 on All Sides. —— The Dagger Intended for the President’s Breast Buried in the Heart of His Brother, Col. Moraes. -_e RIO JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov. 6.—An at- tempt has been made to assassinate the President of Brazil, Dr. Prudente Jose de Moraes. The President's. brother, an army officer, Col. de Moraes, was probably mor- tally wounded while shielding the chief executéve. jen. Machado Bethencourt, Minister of War, who was of the Presi- ‘dent's party, was shot and killed. Rio Janeiro is now under martial law, every soldier having been ordered to arms, as it is feared that. another revolution is at hand. The attempt to kill the President and the killing of the Minister of War, it is believed, were the acts of monarchial sym- pathizers. Another theory is that they were the results of the intense feeling aroused by the proposed arbitration treaty with France. Wild excitement prevails in the city. Startling rumors are heard on all sides. The belief is general in certain classes that the¢ followers of Antonio Conselheiro, the leader of the fanatical movement, who was recently killéd in Canudos, have invaded Rio Jane'ro to strike their first blow for revenge. It was the day set apart by Pres- ident Moraes and his Cabinet to do honor to Rear Admiral Barbosa, one of the con- querors of Conselhetros’ forces in Canudos, Adihiral Barbosa was one of the chiefs of the Brazilian troops who several weeks ag» hacked and shot down thousands of the fol- lowers of the herce-Conselheiro, who had gathered his forces in Canudos. It was be- l'eved then that the crushing defeat to the fanatics there and the death of Consel- heiro had put an end to Brazil's monarchial enemies. : Thousands of persons gathered to see President Moraes and his Cabinet extend publicly the thanks of the Republic to Rear Admiral Barbosa and his troops just re- turning by steamér from Canudos. Many members of Congress and persons high in military, naval and ecclesiastical circles were present, as were also the diplomatic ere of. several foreign coun- tries. The victorious troops were passing in review before President Moraes when a sol- dier dashed out of the Naval Arsenal to- ward the President's party, drawing a dag- ger as he went. Fearing his intent.on, and unable to stop the soldier, Col. Moraes, brother of the President, stepped between the chief executive and his assailant and tried to ward off the dagger thrust. In this he was successful, but the Colonel received the dagger in his own body, the soldier, in frenzy, striking several times before he was seized by the officers around the President. There were shouts of excitement from the crowd, and those in front, forced on by those in the rear, began advancing. The] troops were thrown into a line in front of " PRUDENTE JOSE DE MORAES. ‘ . )A ey? , yy 4) cot \\\) bt ipa | ~ i y* PRESIDENT * the President s party and tried to force the crowd back. While President Moraes and members of his Cabinet were bending over the body of Col. Moraes a shot was heard, and’ Gen. Bethencourt, the Minister of War, ° stag- gered and fell beside the body of Col. Mo- raes, with a bullet in his head. This added to the excitement of the crowd, which was by this time wildly surging to and fro, the troops using their bayonets to keep it back, and those behind pressing blindly forward. Finally, fearing another attempt to kill the President and members of his Cabinet, more troops were'called, and a strong guard thrown around the official party. Then Col. Moraes and Gen. Bethen- court were lifted and borne to the palace, Col. Moraes was serious, probably mortally, wounded. Gen. Bethencourt died a few minutes after he was taken into the palace. In the meantime, fearing a possible attack on the palace, President Moraes ordered the crowd be dispersed. This the troops finally sueceeded in doing, though a serious con- flict at one time seembed likely, owing to an attempt to lynch the President's assail- ant. The news of the affair spread with re- markable rapidity, and within ten minutes the city was ina fever of excitement. Jtu- mors of revolution were rife on all sides, and there seemed good reason to fcar an uprising. . In order to avoid a possibility of this orders were issued from the palace calling all troops in the city to arms and declaring the city under martial law. The soldier who tried to kill President Moraes is under arrest... He belongs to tae 10th Batallion He has refused to give any reason for his attempt on the Presi- dent's life. The person who shot Gen. Bethencourt is unknown, No one knows whence came the fatal bullet. The citizens generally attribute the deeds to revenge on the part of the Conselhetro’s followers. Some well-informed men have brought up the theory that the attempt on the President's life grew out of the pro- posed arbitration treaty with France on the Amapa quasives., This-treaty the President vigorously upheld despite tremendous op- position in Congress and among the people i HER BABY D ON THE TRAN, Mother Held Its Body Until They Reached St. Louis. The wife of Rev. Ferrer Martyn, a lec- turer, held her dead baby in her arms all the way from Logansport, Ind., to St. Louis. At 7:3 o’clock Saturday morning the Wa- bash fast express from Toledo, O., arrived at Union Station. ' ) Rev. Mr. Martyn and his wife stepped from the train into @ carriage and drove to the Coroner’s office. Mrs. Martyn car- ried in her arms the baby’s body. An inquest was immediately held. Mrs. Martyn stated that the baby, Robert G. Martyn, 8 weeks old, had been ailing for some time, and that when within ten miles of Logansport, on the train, the child was seized with convulsions. Mr. Martyn made a hurried search of the train for a physician, but there were none aboard. He then appealed to the conductor to send the train into Logansport as fast as possible. This was done and the en- gineer opened the throttle as far as it would go. It Was a race between death and the train, . Back in the sleeping car the passengers were doing all they could to assist the whey of the dying baby. One traveler urnished a bottle of brandy and a few drops of this was forced down the baby’s throat. It eased the child fora while, but the spasms returned. As the train was brought to a quick stop at the ae ort depot, nearly five min- utes ahead of time, the child died. Its body was wrapped in its cloak and a shaw] was placed over it. But no amount of persuasion could induce the bereaved mother to let the train hands take charge of the body. She held it tightly to her bosom and wept bitterly. She remained with {t pressed to her heart until the train stopped at Union Station. Every passenger in the car Was awake all night, every one of them trying to do something for the bereaved parents. At the Coroner's office the body was turned over to Harrigan & Sheehan, un- dertakers, and will be buried Sunday in Peter's Cemetery. ev.

It Slept While the Decision Was De- livered and Was Handed to Mrs. Shepard, to Be Kept by Her Until Tuesday. Little Delos Shepard slept peacefully in the arms of Deputy Sheriff Benstek In Judge Valliant’s court-room Saturday morning while the Judge read from a sheet of paper the order which will make the youngster a human shuttlecock until. he reaches man’s estate. The Shepard case attracted an unusually large crowd of spectators to Branch 5 of the Circuit Court. There were not chairs enough to go around, and the opening of the session was thereby delayed,:as Judge Valliant refused to take his place on the bench until everybody had found seats. At the commencement of the trial Chas. M. Shepard sat in the rear of the room, holding the 2-year-old child in his arms. A few feet away; inside the railing, was Mrs. Shepard and with her were two women. They chatted in whispers, smiled and seemed to take little thought that they were in a court-room. Mrs. Shepard never for a second glanced in the direction of her former husband, and her efforts to DENOUNCED AS RAUBULENT, Claim of ClaraChureh Collins Is Denied. WAS NOT JNDER DURESS. JUDGE KLEIN SUSTAINS CHARLES CLARK, THE GRANITE MOUN- TAIN MILLIONAIRE. CENSURES THE PLAINTIFFS. Miss Cowan Comes in for a Reprimand and the Lindell Hotel Meeting Is Termed a Fraud Planned to Cover a Previous One. Judge Klein, in Division No, 1 of the Cir- cuit Court, handed down a long, written opinion Saturday in the case of Clara Church Collins against Charles Clark, the Granite Mountain millionaire. Judge Klein decides against Mrs. Collins on every point and goes to the extent of saying that her conduct and that of Mr. Collins is rather peculiar for innocent per- sone, as they claim to be. Judge Klein begins by reviewing the case and the issues. He says that in April, 1891, Samuel Collins, husband of the plaintiff, came to St. Louis with a collection of pict- ures, which he offered for sale at the Lin- dell Hotel. Among these pictures was a sketch, or study, in oil, which he repre- sented to be an original study by J. L. E. Meissonier of his great painting in the Louxembourg of Napoleon III. at Solferino. He further represented that the picture belonged formerly to George Petit, a espe- cial friend of the great painter. Upon the representations made Mr. Clark . a THE DEPUTY SHERIFF HANDS LITTLE DELOS TO THE MOTHER. appear indifferent and at her ease were apparent. Before rendering his decision as to the} custody of the child, Judge Valliant asked | for a conference in his private office with | ex-Judge Thomas H. Harvey, Mr. ‘who ap" | ‘ attorney. and Jesse ‘@Donald, who ap- peared for the mother. When the Judge resumed his seat he directed that the father and child be grought before him. Mr. Shepard advanced with little Delos, who was bundled up so with furs that only the top of his head could be seen, and placed the baby in a chair before the 4 All noise in the court-room suddenly purchased the picture for $6,800. This amount was paid as follows: By check for $3,740. By one picture by A. Mauve, $800. by one picture by P. Seynae, $100. By one picture by Walker, $810, By one pictlure by Dette, $1,350. The pictures and the check were given to Mr. Collins Shortly after Mr. Clark purchased the Mauve picture for $600 in cash. Later Mr. Clark was in Paris and made _ inquiries which led him to conclude that his picture was not what it was represented. When Collins came to St. Louis again, in FOLLOWED 4 ACROSS A STATE Al Fuchs’ Ardent Pursuit of Miss Carrie Frick. HE WANTS TO MARRY HER. SHE REJECTED HIM ONCE, BUT HE WILL MAKE ANOTHER EF- FORT TO WIN HER, ————— GONE TO CENTERTOWN, MO. He Left Orders at a Jefferson City Ho- tel to Have the Bridal Cham- ber Made Ready for Them, 7X If Al Fuchs of Belleville does not win his fair lady it will not be because he has a faint heart. Undismayed by her rejection of his sult, he has followed her to Central Missouri, and has confidently announced that he will return with her as his bride. The Fuchs family is one of the best in St. Clair County, and is counted among the wealthiest. The young lady is Miss Carrie Frick, a daughter of Henry J. Frick, a tea merchant, whose place of business is on the Public Square in Belleville. She is more than ordinarily attractive. A little over two years ago the young couple began going together. Several years before Fuchs was in love with another girl. His family opposed the marriage and he gave her up. His disappointment caused him to go a rather rapid pace for some time, but he finally settled down, and when he began paying attentions to Miss Frick he was steady and sober-minded, dressed well, was good-looking, and was regarded as a desirable catch. His court was ardent, and before long their friends supposed them to be engaged. Then Fuchs’ father died and he came into Possession of about $8,000. He became dis- sipated. Miss Frick counseled with her father. He advised her not to marry the young man, She was on friendly terms with Fuchs’ mar- ried sisters. They also candidly advised her to give him up. She told him he had shown that his habits were dearer to him than she. He pleaded, but she was firm. He went away. His friends heard from him at Poplar Bluff. He wrote that he was WOKEN at his*trade of watchmaking, and was doing well. He said nothing about Miss Frick, and it was supposed he had recovered from his infatuation. He tried to make himself believe that he had, but as time passed the desire to see her again grew until it became irresistible, Two weeks ago he returned to Belleville. He immediately made inquiries about her. He found that she had been away on a visit two months. None of his: friends could tell him where she was. The next evening he sent two of his little nieces to the tea store. They asked where this member and that member of the fam- ily was, and finally one of them asked: ‘“‘Where is Carrie?’ She was told that Carrie was visiting her sister at Centertown, Mo. “Who wants to know?” the child was asked. ‘Uncle Al,” she replied. A few nights ago he went to the tea store and made himself very agreeable. He brought presents to the younger members of the family, and stayed around until clos- ing time. Wednesday night he left town. He tried to keep his destination secret. He ate dinner at the Madison House in Jefferson City Thursday. To Manager Vieth he told a story of blighted hopes through the interfererice of Miss Frick’s stepmother, who, he said, had _ sent his fiancee to Missouri to keep her away from him. He hired a buggy to drive to Center- town, fifteen miles away. ‘Get the bridal chamber ready,”’ he said as he left the hotel. “Tf I find her I will be back with her as my bride in two days.” He seems to have met a h itable re- ception at Centertown, for he has not re- turned to Jefferson City. Miss Frick’s ee eer denies that she did anything to influence Carrie. “I did not fee] that I had any right,”’ she said Sat- urday, “especially as Carrie was of age. Her father was opposed to the young man, but I don’t think even he attempted to dic- tate to her.”’ Mr. Frick said: “I am not at all wor- ried. Fuchs will have his trip for nothing. Carrie is a sensible girl and when she makes up her mind to a thing she sticks to it. I am sure she would not marry him without coming back and consulting me and her friends. She 1s 21 vears of age and, of course, can do as sge pleases; but I am sure she would not take such a step without first talking to me about it, as she knows I would not attempt to do more than ad- vise her.”’ FOR PROTECTION OF SEALS, Treaty Between the United States, Russia and Japan Signed.

He Would Not Go Back Simply to Witness More Spanish Outrages on Helpless People. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—There has been a small “leak” in official news in Washington, and the sensational] rot sent afloat about the trouble with Spain has had that as a basis and nothing more. Ex-Minister Hannis Taylor does not speak for the Administration. His reckless gab- bling is considered discourteous to the Gov- ernment, which entrusted him with secrets in good faith. While he can spring no sur- prises it is thought good judgment and com- mon decency should keep his mouth seealed. Poultney Bigelow’s withering expose of the ex-Minister, in a special cable to the Post- Dispatch last Sunday, seems to have been timely and true to life, President McKinley, however, has sent Gen. Fitzhugh Lee back to Cuba, and has indicated to others that while there is no crisis with Spain now pending or expected, definite and decisive action may become necessary soon after Congress meets next month. When Gen. Lee came to this city on leave of absence, having previously sent his fam- ily to the United States, it was with the firm intention of relinquishing his place. Upon declaring this intention to First Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Day, he was told that the President especially desired him to return and remain “until the close of the war.”’ Gen. Lee told Judgé Day that he could not entertain a proposal to go back simply to witness the continued cruelties practiced by Spanish soldiers, the continued injustice and insults against American citizens, the poverty, starvation and misery daily com- ing under his observation. Speaking for the President, Judge Day assur¢d Gen. Lee that such steps would be taken to terminate the war as would meet with his hearty commendation. It was necessary to have certain recommendations made as a matter of diplomatic routine and replies must be received before the Presi- dent could lay the whole subject before Congress in a proper manner. But if the plan of autonomy or Cuban home rule is rejected by the Cubans the President will insist that the war be brought to a close*in some other manner. He has promised to call the attention of Congress to this paramount necessity—the restoration of peace—and request such as- sistance from the legislative branch of the Government as will hasten the end. Gen, Lee was satisfied that the Cubans would not accept autonomy, and that if Captain-General Weyler, with all the atroci- ties he practiced, could not subjugate those in rebellion no Spanish military power could do so. He acceded to the President's request and will return to Havana, firmly believing that the war will be ended and peace restored within the next sixty days. He would not have resumed his duties under any other conditions. Gen. Lee has received his instructions. He will sail on a steamer leaving New York Monday for Havana. He refused to discuss the Cuban situation further than to say he will have a conference with the President to-day. , » HERE’S A DIFFERENT VIEW. Said That the President’s Policy Will Be Pacific. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—“‘No radical ac- tion will be taken by the President in the Cuban question between now and the time Congress will convene and even in his mes- sage Mr. McKinley will not urge Congress to take any precipitate steps to end the war. I do not exactly appreciate why there should have been any slump in stocks yes- terday, because there {ts nothing at hand nor developments anticipated which will disturb the relations of the United States and Spain.” This statement was made by a member of the Administration, who !s cognizant of the President’s views on the Cuban ques- tion, and he continued: “The Administra- tionis not yet prepared to carry the kind of Cuban policy advocated by Former Minister Tavier. It can be authorftatively stated that the President sees nothing tn the exiat- ing s:tuation to warrant Intervention in the manner urged by Mr. Taylor and that there will be no change In his present pacific att!- tude toward Spain untill a reasonable time has been allowed to test the new autono- mous reforms unless affairs in Cuba should naa _ er ; es od Ue ac OD Saas ¥ + + x “ Ot} x. 2 Ry Gi a ye a a ee ——— * ~~ . ap gy Bt recat gh gee. ee, RES ees Re kN ee ferences of opinion and enmity among t ranks of the parties and their supporters ia on. ee ee declares that 26 pa reform or autonomy offe to Cuba by the Spanish statesmen, to be efficacious, sho have been the spontaneous — of the national conscience, It says, — ever, that it ls but an expedient to whic the Madrid Government has recourse now that it has aan al the means and crime, : a 7 political change can be ognpie. ¢ fruitful under these conditions.

Reference ts J by he 1 )- alled res igners oO wer, hall he mendence re The Ex-Minister’s Article Angered ' Spain and Worries the President. The recently published review of the Cuban question by Mr. Hannis Taylor, late Minister to Spain, is of international im- portance. I gives the American people a real insight into the hidden springs of Spanish policy, and emphasizes to the Amer- ‘an Government the necessity of terminat- j ing the Cuban struegle. “Spain herself,”’ says Mr. Taylor, “has demonstrated that she is powerless either to conciliate Cuba or conquer it. Her sovereignty over it is extinct.” The American people cannot put aside » Cuban question. And in Mr, Taylor's opinion only the American Government can settle it, for Spain is unequal to the task. She is unequal to the task, because real mariiamentary zovernment does not exist. Spain the present is bound up with the past. The so-called syetem of representa- tive government is an Illusion; Spain has ro nal assembly which can act as a free real orran of the national will. ‘‘The istration of affairs is etill carried on the old bureatucratic system by cer- tain notables named by the crown, wno call Wpon the phantom hody known as the Cortes to clothe their acts in the forms of legality.” » €&pain cannot grant self-government to Cul because she does not enjoy it her- = niin clings to the old paternal! colonial ysiem of the sixteenth century.

In that fact is embodied the essence of the Cuban question which, in Its final analysis, is more economic than politi- cal. Despite all the bad usage to which she has been subjected, Cuba, by reason of her exceeding richness, had been able to ac- cumulate wealth which at the beginning of the present war amounted to $850,000,000, or about $531 per capita. At the same date her commercial movement amounted to of which $69,444,287 repre- sented imports and $101,014,266 exports.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, 0O., Nov. 6.—Cincinnatl Democrats, aided by Democrats from Mont- gomery and adjoining counties, are plan- ning to throw out the vote of the Soldiers’ Home at Dayton on the ground that it is illegal. If this is done it will give the Democrats. three representatives from Montgomery County and a majority of one On joint ballot in the Legislatifre, thus in- suring the defeat of Hanna. The claim that the Soldiers’ Home vote of 1,800 is illegal is based on a decision of the United States Court, rendered in Cin- cinnatl. The State Food and Dairy Commissioner had Governor Thomas and other authori- ——— ne ties of the Home arraigned for an alleged | violation of the pure food law. Governor Thomas set forth that the Honie was a Government reservation and not amenable to State laws, and that such was the agree- ment between the State of Ohio and the Federal Government when the location of the Home was agreed upon. The United States courts at Cincinnati sustained Governor Thomas’ claim, In a further claim it is alleged that Sol- diers’ Homes at Marion, Ind.; Milwaukee, Leavenworth and on the Pacific Coast are Government reservations, under the same conditions, and that the residents there are not g.ven the right of suffrage. On the face of the returns so far received the indications are that the Senate will stand nineteen Democrats and seventeen Republicans and the House fifty-one Demo- crats and fifty-eight Republicans, with a majority of five Republicans on joint ballot. There may be several contested seats, but these cannot be considered till the Legis- lature: meets the first Monday in January next. Since it seems toJba settled that: the Republicans have a small majority on joint ballot, rumors are rife about a combine of certain Republican members with the | seventy Democratic members for the elec- tion of some one other than Senator Hanna on the joint ballot, When Senator Foraker was indorsed by the Republican State convention two years ago for h:s present position in the Senate there was no legislative caucus. It is an- nounced now that there will be a Repub- lican Senatorial caucus when the Legisla- | ture convenes in January. Senator Hanna was indorsed at the last State Convention fifths of these exports is made up of the| sugar crop, the remainder being composed | of tobacco and other miscellaneous items. | Cuba therefore is simply a great cane! sugar estate whose tenants depend for exe | istence upon that industry. When sugar | was made from cane only Cuba was com- | paratively independent because the mayKets of the world were open to her. Bu her | trade narrowed when._beet sugar came into competition with cane. With the exception of a small quantity sold to Spain herself | Cuba sugars have been driven from every | market in Europe; only one market is open to her—that offered by the United States. But while Cuba is.thus forced to sell Jn the United States, the restrictive policy of the home government compels her to buy in Spain, for the primary object of the Cu- man’s existence is to support the manu- facturers of Catalonia, with whom he has no community of interests. Thus overbur- dened by hostile tariffs and by the loss of freight, insurance and exchange incident to the necessity of buying in a remote and un- favorable market, the Cuban producer has been ground to death between the upper and the nether millstone. We therefore dis- cover that the Cuban rising grew out ofa struegle for bread in one of the most fa- vored spots on the earth, a struggle pro- duced by economic laws by the mother coun- trv. wedded to the obsolete doctrine that the parent St has a right to legislate in Its own interest, rewardless of the fate of the colony itself. And Mr. Taylor adds that if the whole system of political and military oppression were removed the economic dif- fleulty would remain and would make the {sland a desert Only by transferrine the ower to enact commercial and economie ee to a Cuban Legislature can Cuba be Bay d..

Span- tatesmen have no clear conception of ‘mean ng of the term “autonomous colo- nial government,” and therefore Spanish statesmanship is impotent to solve the prob- ery.

THEY BOTH BELONG 10 THE -DEVIL JOSEPH KELLEY’S COMPACT. HE SAYS HE SOLD HIMSELF TO SATAN UNTIL HIS TWENTY: FIFTH BIRTHDAY. | ONE IS A MURDERER THE OTHER A LUNATIC. ee ee PAT LAHEY’S BOYISH BOAST. HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO MEET THE DEVIL AND HAS BEEN HIS EVER SINCE, Special to the Post-Dispatch. DOVER, N. H., Nov, 6.—Joseph E. Kelley, who murdered Cashier Joseph Stickney in} the Great Falls National Bank April 16, will be brought to trial Monday. Kelley’s counsel will plead insanity. This will displease Kelley, who admits that he has a devil who prompts him to crime, but maintains that he is sane and was sane when he killed Stickney, He wants to plead guilty and he only asks that the judge will sentence him to die after his 2th birthday, Jan. 15, 1899. His purpose in this is to defeat the particular devil who associates with him and makes his life un- bearable. Kelley says that some years ago in a moment of foolishness he made a compact with the devil to serve him until his 25th birthday. Should he die before that time it was agreed that he was to be the slave of the devil for ail eternity. If he dies after that date he will escape Satan’s un- pleasant clutches, Kelley says that the particular devil who has him in charge has got a very great influence over him and when the imp gets after him it is next to impossible for him to resist horrible suggestions. The devil is constantly trying to get into Kelley’s cell, he says, and is tempting him to suicide or to attempt to escape. But Kelley says he knows he is perfectly rational’and if it {fs attempted in court to make him out crazy he will address the court and put an end to the erroneous impression. It gives Kelley a great fright whenever the devil comes to see him, and he raises a great clamor, which brings the prison of- ficials and scares the devil away. He ex- pects to see him coming into court. “I expect the devil will get into the jury- room, too, and I should not be surprised but I do not think he wi'ill succeed in that,” “‘However, if I see him will be ,the case, I shall immediately in- form the Judge. nN “The last time I really had any direct | conyersation with the devil he tried to get | me to hang myself. Well, do you know he talked to me so that I almost got up the blanket to get ready to tear it before I thought what. .I was doing. Then I shouted | for the ‘trusty,’ and when he reached my But I tell you that was a narrow escape, and I came very near giving way and hanging myself.’”’ “Well, what if you had? What could have been the result?’’ asked the reporter. “Why, don’t you see,’ replied Kelley; “then he would have had me dead befare the time limit of my compact had expired, I would have been his slave for eter-. nity.” Pat Lahey, a patient at the City Hospital, imagines he has given himself to the devil. Lahey is 37 years old, a marble polisher, and lives at 3158 North Thirteenth street. He says he first met the devil when he was l4 years old. “TIT was a good boy then,” he said. “I was g°0ing to school, and none of the boys was Stronger than I. If any of the boys had dared to make fun of mew then I would have punched their faces. I have never been the same since I went swimming in the old quarry pond. There was a gang of us together. 1 was setting banters for the rest of the gang and I went to the highest bank. The gang didn't think I had the Only a Cold! Yes; but a cold frequently has a serious ending. Chronic coughs, pneumonia, bronchitis and con- sumption all start with a cold.

I put my hands over my head and locked my fingers. While in that position I shouted: ‘Here goes to the devil.’ I jumped head first. I dont know how it happened, but my head struck a@ rock oi oamething. “Then I felt somebody tugging at me. I was sti)l in the water and could not see what it was. I called out and the thin answered that he was the devil. He sai that I had shouted that I was coming down | to see him, and he would hold me to my promise. Then he got fold of my neck and we began going down together. We went terribly fast. It took my breath. Soon I did not know anything. “When I came to myself I was at home in bed. I never was the same after that. I knew the devil had a hold on me and I. knew when he came for me I would have to go with him. “T never saw him until a few weeks ago. I guess I would not have seen him then if it had not been for my brother dying. I kind of felt it was my fault he died. He was up to my house and had been having hard luck. He wanted to stay, but I did not ask him. That was six months ago. He went away kind of regretful like and I did not ask him to stay. He got a job at team- ing. and in a day or two they brought him home all crushed to death. I did not have the heart to work any more. “A few weeks ago I was in bed and there came a knock at the door. Before I could get up a figure came into the room. It di not come in through the door nor window. I could not tell where it did come from. just seemed to come from anywhere and from right in front of me. I knew it was the devil and guessed that he had come for me. “He didn’t say a word for a long time. He just kind of looked at me with a grin on his, face. He etood there and I got a g00d look at him. He was about six feet tall and wore red clothes. They were funny looking things and appeared to be thrown on him. He did not have any pitchfork nor any tail. All around him was darkness. This darkness was something awful. It just fitted him, but I could see right through it and see him. I could not see through ® and see anything else. This dark spot fol- lowed him whenever he moved. - “Pretty soon the devil said: ‘Well, I see you know me. You did not do anything fer your brother. Now, what are you go- ing to do for me? I want a piece bread.’ “IT got up and got the bread and gave it to him. did not say a word. I didn’t know what to say. He d'‘d not want the bread, for while he held it in his hand it just disappeared. He did not throw it — [t just seemed like it melted. ?. WEST END MASS MEETING.

He began by saying that the baby was at all times to be considered within the juris- diction of the court. No reference was made to Mrs. Shepard’s pointed declaration that Charles M. Shepard was not the boy’s father, but, at the same time, the Judge commented upon the misfortune it was for any child to grow up with no knowledge of its mother. “Mr. Sheriff, take the child,” Judge Valliant. Deputy Sheriff Bensiek came forward and lifted the little one tenderly and stood with it in his arms before the judge. ‘“‘Th's child, Delos Shepard, is to be given to its mother, who will take it to her abode in St. Louis, 94 Aubert avenue,” began Judge Valliant. ‘‘Next Tuesday, at noon, she will*then hand it over to Charles M. Shepard. At intervals of two monthe she is entitled to the custody of the child for a period not exceeding four days at a time.

Then Mr. McDonald, her attorney, slipped through the crowd and gently touched her on the arm. This caused Mrs. Shepard to realize her surroundings. She glanced ' around her, and then made her way to the ladies who had accompanied her to court. They stood up, and placing their arms around her led her down the aisle and out the door. They tarried in the corridor only long enough to adjust hats and wraps, and then hurried away from the Court-house, to catch a Suburban car.

He denies his guilt, but the police claim to havé strong circumstantial evidence against him and a warrant, charging arson, will be applied for, The building was formerly occupied by the for storage purposes. Holland has been employed there as a watchman about three months. He is 32 years old, married and lives at 3317 North Nineteenth street, If the fire was of incendiary origin the firebug was determined in his work, as the firemen were summoned to extinguish flames in the building three times dur- ing Friday evening. The first alarm was sent In about 5 vet. When the department arrived the flames were burning briskly, and a second alarm was ordered. After an hour's hard fighting the blaze was extinguished. Before leaving the premises the firemen made a carefuj in- spection to see that no smoldering enmpers remained. They had searcely got thelr app atus stowed away when they were calle gain to the same building. Flames were barning fiercely under a stairway on the third floor, Fortunately, the fire had not gained much headway, and it was soon extinguished. An- other careful tour of the building was made, and as everything seemed safe, the firemen again went back. Two hours later another alarm was sent in from the same building. This time the firemen found the roof ablaze and. it took two hours’ hard fighting to subdue the flames. Suspicions of the firemen were aroused, Assistant Chief Hillenkoeter made a care- ful inspection of the building.

It was then agreed that Mr. and Mrs. Collins should buy the picture for $7 ae ST ing, in addition, the interest on the cash, originally paid by Clark. The famous bond sued upon was then drawn up, whereby Cree and his wife agreed that they owed Clark $8,000. Judge Klein then comes to the part of the story when the bond Wae ed by Mrs. Collins. He says: “Here occurs the most singular part of the entire transaction, gery the testimony of the plaintiff and her band, Samuel Collins, and Miss Harte Cowan, the finai transaction took place in the morning of Dec. 1, 1892. The testimony of all the other witnesses indicates that it took place in the afternoon. At any rate, according to the testimo of the plaintiff and her husband, they procured a stenographer, se- creted her im an adjoining room, with the door ajar, and instructed her to take down verbatim the conversation which they ex- pected would occur when Mr. Clark and the notary should appear. Notary Dow had any knowledge of the secret maneuver of the other gide. Hence when they entered the room it is fair to assume that they would not be influenced in their statements by the knowledge that an accurate report of every word they ut- tered would be preserved against them, Whereas it is equally fair to assume tha Mr. and Mrs. Collins, knowing that every word they uttered during the conversa was to be so preserved in their favor, t would say only such things as would be to thelr advantage. “Assuming for the present that the testl- mony of Miss Cowan is to be believed, al- though there are many things In her re- port which would le the court to re- ceive her testimony with caution, it ts = fectly apparent that the entire transactio as recorded by Miss Cowan and t¢t to by Collins and his wife, was desi« them for the purpoes of giving color their claim, which they undoubtedly in- tended at this early stage of the case to make, that the signature of Mrs. Collins to these papers was obtained by duress. “In other words, being wilting to pacify Mr. Clark in regard to his claim to repara- tion on account of the fraud that had been practiced on him before, they prepar themselves in advance to defeat him in the recovery of the money they were pr i to pay, by making such evidence {nm ¢ own behalf as would tend to support the claim that duress had been practioed upon the plaintiff. “This conduct, independent of all othe? considerations, is so suspicious that [t casts a serious doubt upon the good faith of the yrresent action, . “The whole transaction takes the appear- ance of a scheme, cunningy laid, to get rid of the consequences of the first fraud b another fraud more cunningly devised an more promising of success. “Being satisfied that the ¢elaim of 4 in this case is not was freely and tairly signed b , vestion was ely and Oe ea the plaintiff There must be judgments in favor of the defendant the plaintiff's cause of action.

KEARNEY BELIEVES THAT BLOOD POISON WILL RESULT IN HIS DEATH. _ A BATTLE WITH INSECTS. Grocer’s Clerk Tells of His Terrible Struggle in the Cellar of J. A. Patten’s Store While Re- moving Rubbish. John Held, who fiad a battle with spiders at J. A. Patten’s grocery store, 822 Market street, is much worse, Dr. Kearney of the City Dispensary staff, feare the victim of the venomous insects is a doomed man. Deadly poison is coursing through his veins and symptoms of lockjaw are developing. A peculiar feature of Held's affliction is that he is able to be about and attend to his He apparently does not realize his danger. Three unsightly marks, tswwo on the left side of his nose and one on his chin, show where he was bitten. His jaws are becoming rigid. He talks with difficulty. “T am feeling pretty wel] this morning,”’ said Held to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘but I can scarcely open my mouth. There seems to be big lumps in my throat and my jaw- bones ache, My arms.and shoulders are covered with red blotches, which seem to grow larger all the time. I am sure I was not bitten on the arms or shoulders, for I wore my coat when the spiders attacked me. The poison must be coming to the sur- face. “When I went to the cellar to pack a case of goods Thursday night I removed a lot of rubbish to get a box. “Tl felt something run across my face and brushed it off. When it dropped to the floor I suw it was a black spider. I stepped on it. In an instant the place seemed alive with spiders. They ran across my face and hands, “TI did not know I had been bitten until I came upstairs. A friend asked me what was the matter with my nose. I looked in a mir- ror and saw there were two big blisters on the left nostril. When I touched them they burst. ‘‘f-was feverish all night. Friday morning I found a third blister on my chin. I went to the Dispensary and had the wounds cauterized. The blotches on my arms and ehoulders have appeared since.” A Post-Dispatch reporter accompanied Held to the Dispensary Saturday morning. Dr. Kearney examined him and expressed surprise at the progress of the virus, thrugh his system. ¢ "This man has a clear case of blood poisoning.”’ he said. ‘‘Even if lockjaw does not set in, he may die.” After his- wounds were dressed, Held went back to work, still refusing to believe fn the doctor’s diagnosis. The spiders which bit Held are known as black spiders. Their engine of destruction is a mandible, or claw, which when not in use is folded between the jaws. When the black spider settles on his victim he opens fis jaws and extends the mandible. As the Claw-like organ enters the flesh a poison sack in the tip of the mandible is opened and, the deadly virus injected, TRAGIC SCENES IN A COURT Wife and Daughter Shriek as Rela- tives Are Sentenced to the Pen. William P. Hanke will serve five years in the penitentiary. The story of Hanke's crippled son, who would not be comforted after his father’s arrest; of the sympathy and Kindness shown the family of the criminal and the story of the boy’s sub- Sequent death were ail told in the Post- Dispatch. The man, formerly a book agent, was before Judge Adams late Friday after- noon, charged with circulating obscene lit- erature. He threw himself on the mercy of the court. The Federal Judge dgnounced him as a moral leper and delivered the above sentence. : Before this case there were tragic scenes enacted, Justin Bellew, convicted of coun- terfelting, was sentenced to three years. The words were no sooner uttered than Edna Bellew, a daugiter, rushed across the room, shrieking, and threw her arms about her father's neck. L. R. Mauzy, Bellew’s son-in-law, was next brought to the bar, convicted of the fame crime. Though a powerful man in *hysique he sank to the floor and moaned. is wife joined in his cries and held a 8-year-old child in her arms, L. P.

THE COLD WATER COOLED HER TEMPER AND SHE SCREAMED FOR HELP. THE HUSBAND’S DARING DEED. | Jumped Twenty Feet Down Into Eight Feet of Water 2nd Supported His Wife Till Neighbors Camo With Ropes. “T am glad my husband is a brave man. If he hadn't been I wouldn't be alive now. He jumped into that cistern and saved my life.” So said Mrs. Annie Asbury, wife of James Asbury, a stave worker, living at 1441 Clin- ton street. Clad only in her nightgown Mrs. Asbury sprang from the bed in which she and her husband lay at 1 o’clock Saturday morning and ran into the back yard. The husband knew nothing, except that his wife was desperately angry. That she would attempt to take ‘her own life Asbury never thought. He heard a scream. He jumped from the bed and followed his wife. The screams continued, but they were smothered, and came from the direction of the old well in the rear of the yard, Asbury ran to the well and looked down. : He could see nothing. but heard a splash- ing in the stagnant water at the bottom of the well. Then a voice, choking and strang- ling, tried to scream out, Asbury knew it was his wife. It was cweses feet from the water to the top of the well, and the water wae eight feet deep and icy cold. But Asbury did not hesitate. He sprang over to what might have been his death to save the life of his wife. Down he shot in the blackness. As he struck the water he collided with his wife and. both went to the bottom. When they came to the surface Asbury had his wife in his arms. She was quict and still—dead for all he knew. With his left arm around her body the husband braced his feet and his right arm against the marrow sides of the well and screamed for help. His teeth chattering with cold cut his tongue till it bled. Unless help came there would be two dead bodies in the bottom of that well. He called again for help. His legs, holding up the two bodies, were barely equal to the strain. He felt himself grow- ing weaker. Asbury was ready to give up the unequal struggle. He looked up for one last look at the stars he could see shining so bright through the intermediate blackness. He heard a whizzing sound and something struck his face. It was a rope. He re- leased his hold on the side of the well and grasped the rope. Shouts from above encouraged him. He escent the end of the rope arour his wife’s ody, under the arms. “Haul away,” he feebly cried. Strong hands pulled at the rope. Asbury was clinging to it. It was an ordinary clothes line, hardly able to bear the weight of two heavy persons. Another rope was thrown in. Asbury seized this and relleved the strain upon that tied around hfs wife. Husband and wife were drawn to the top. Mrs. Asbury. was unconscious and ap- arently lifeless. The neighbors wrapped er in blankets and carried her into the house. They took off her wet garment, and put her to bed. They slapped her until she regained consciousngss, put hot water bot- tles to her feet and sent for Dr. Linde- man of 1822 North Fifteenth street. The husband could scarcely stand when he was lifted over the coping. He was as- sisted into the house, his wet clothes re- moved, and put to bed. Whisky was poured down him, and in a short while he was all right. Mr. and Mrs. Senning, who live upstairs over’ the Asburys, were aroused by Mrs. Asbury’s first scream. Mr. Senning called up his three sons. One of them ran to the rear window and looked out in time to see Asbury jump into the well. hey ran down jinto,the yard, one of them seizing a clothesline. hey reached the well but a few seconds ahead of half a dozen of the other neighbors. Mrs. Asbury is a stout, healthy, good- looking woman, 32 years old, the mother of two children. She was in bed wrapped in a mountain of bedclothes when a Post- —- reporter saw her Saturday. Sev- “ of her neighbors were sitting up with er, “Yes, if my husband hadn’t been a brave man I wouldn’t be alive now,” she said. ‘‘After all life is sweet. We know what we have in this world, but not in the world to come, and I am glad I am alive. “That water was so cold! As soon as I struck it I was chilled through, and I no longer wanted to die. I wanted to live for my husband and my children, and screamed for help. a been under the water twice and was strangling. I could no longer cry out. The last I remember, something struck me. I seemed to be going down, down for- ever. When I opened my eyes I was in bed, with my neighbors around me. “The doctor says I may have pneumonia from the exposure. I fee! all right, except that I caught a terrible cold, I have had enough of suicide.” " ‘What caused the quarrel?’ ‘That is a private matter between my husband and me. It is of no concern to the public.” Asbury is a stove molder, but has been out of work for a long time, doing only odd jobs mending stoves. He was on one of these jobs Saturday. He left home early in the morning, reconciled to his wife, and none the worse for his experience of a few hours before. ARRIVED JUST IN TIME. Policeman Maguire Prevents a Woman Being Killed. Policeman Maguire ran into a house at 1229 North Twelfth street Friday evening and prevented the murder of Mrs. John Mulke by her husband. One shot had been fired and Mulke had the revolver pointed, ready to fire again. He is a cigar-maker and had been on a spree. His wife had upbraided him and a quarrel followed. Pre- vious to shooting at her Mulke beat her on the head and face, inflicting injuries that were treated at the Dispensary. The man was placed in a cell. TO BECOME NATIONAL BANKS. Changes Proposed in the Big San Fran- cisco Institutions. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.—Two of the largest banks in this city are about to ex- change their State for national charters. On Dec. 1 the Sather Banking Co., one of the es nd best known financial institutions vce ate. organized forty years ago, will become the Gap Francisco National Bank, and about the first of the year the Nevada Bank so long identified with the fortunes of the Bonanga kings, Flood, Fair, Mackay and O’Brien, will become the Nevada Na- tional Bank. The San Francisco National Bank will have a capital of $500,000. Until the new charter of the Nevada that bank wilt retain its present capitalization of $3,- 000.000. said to be the largest capital of any national bank west of New York, except the First National of Chicago. Under the new charters there will be no change in the di- fficers of either banks.

MISSES MARY AND HELEN MON- TAGUE AND NELLIE CODY THE LUCKY ONES. A QUESTION OF ENTAIL. Court Decides That Grandfather Squires Had a Right to Dictate Terms of Wills Subsequent to That He Framed. Miss Mary Montague, employed at the Fuchs millinery house; Miss Nellie Cody of the Southern Hotel, and Miss Helen Mon- tague of Mitchell, Ill, have been declared heiresses to $18,000 worth of property at Venice, Ill., by a jury in the Circuit Court at Edwardsville. The young women brought suit to set aside the will of their aunt, Mrs. Anna Squire, who died Oct. 23, 1896, leaving her estate to others than her relatives. To St. Mark’s Church in Venice she be- queathed $1,000; to George F. McNulty, her attorney, 4346 West Pine boulevard, St. Loui,s, $1,000, and the remainder to Adelaide F’. Bady of St. Louis, her life-long friend. Her nieces were remembered to the extent of $l each. The executors are Mr. McNulty and Rev. Fr. Kenders of St. Mark’s. The property came originaly from old Sam- uel Squires, a pioneer settler in the Ameri- can bottoms, who was a thrifty farmer and one of the founders of Waaneokt. When he came to his last illness he undertook to frame a will that would forever keep his estate in the hands of his blood relations. So, when he passed away, the property fell into the hands of his son, William Henry Harrison Squires, with a proviso that at the j wana death it should go to his son’s chil- ren, In a few years William, who was a painter by Sure fell from a scaffold and broke his neck, Under the grandfather’s will the daughter inherited, but in a short time she died, be- quething the estate to her mother. For some reason, that appeared unac- countable and which resulted in setting aside the will of. Mrs. Squires, the old yea | ignored her nieces entirely and made a will yam the estate among those not related er. It was shown at the trial that Mr.McNulty did not write Mrs. Squires’ will, he being in the East at the time, and that none of the beneficiaries knew anything about its con- tents until a long time afterwards. The nieces retained Judge Vastine of St. Louls and in the Edwardsville Circuit Court sued to set aside the old lady’s . bequests, 60 that the property might remain in the family, as was desired by Samuel Squires and his son, William. Miss Mary Montague was able to show that for many years she had made weekly Visits to her aunt’s home from her er ment in St. Louis. In fact, it was the only home the nieces had, as they were orphans. Within seven weeks of her death, however, the old lady began to manifest a sudden and strange antipathy to the girls and then their visits ceased. “I know nothing about Miss Bady,” said Miss Mary Montague to a Post-Dispatch re- porter. ‘‘My aunt referred to her occasion- allly as an old friend of her youth, but when and where they became acquainted, and where she lives in St. Louis, I do not know. “In fact, the whole business was so strange that we maintained our aunt had become insane before her death. The jury at Edwardsville took the same view of the matter and gave a. verdict in our favor, setting aside the will.’’ Mr. McNulty has his office in East St. Louis, where he is a member of the law firm of Wise & McNulty. To a Post-Dis- patch reporter he said: “I know nothing about Miss Brady, any more than at the trial it developed that she had been an intimate friend of Mrs. Squires in her younger days. The will was written during my absence and neither myself nor either of the beneficiaries.knew anything of its contents until long afterwards.” There will probably be an appeal to the |} Supreme Court from the verdict of the Cir- cuit Court of Madison County. POLICEMEN GAVE. CHASE Wm. Cullinane Thought His Son Had Been Kidnapped and Was Mistaken. Ex-Councilman William Cullinane has a 10-year-old son named Jack, who, for mis- chief, can outdo any lad in Kerry Patch, The youngster added to his reputation Fri- day, when he accompanied his father on a visit to friends in Baden. They drove out in a barouche, to which was attached a spri- ited team of black horses. . On the way Jack expressed a desire for soda water and the father alighted at a drug store to get it. But when he came out the barouche and Jack were gone. Visions of kidnappers and ighway rob- bers flitted through Cullinane’s mind. He notified the police and two mounted men went in search. In a distant part of Cal- vary Cemetery they saw what appeared to be a vehicle. It seemed to be the missin barouche, They followed and approached, with drawn revolvers. Their disgust was deep, however, when they discovered the occupant was a small oy. ‘ fe was driving along leisurely and com- plied at once with the order to halt. ‘My name’s Jack Cullinane. What do you want?’ said the lad to the officers. “We're going to take you to the police station,”’ was the prompt response. Jack burst into tears. “Please let me go, mister. “It’s my papa’s rig.’’ he pleaded. Sir. Cullinane was more surprised than happy when he saw Jack returning under escort of the policemen. He explained that the horses ran away and he was trying to get back when found. But the father laughed and cautioned Jack not to try any prank like that again. STOLE TWENTY WATCHES.

I have never been in the habit of putting anything to the public over my signature or uttering anything from the platform that was not irrefutably true. In a third of a century of public life in this respect, I may have been disputed but never disproven. Fair criticism is never distasteful, but rath- er to be commended. Now to a few rebut- tals and then to business. My particular aim as an Official and as committeeman has been to keep the party clean and clear of all selfish contamination and control. You editorially suggest that I can prevent individual boodling in legislation. What credit did any paper extend, or aid to sus- tain me, in killing the last Sweeney bill? I had to separate myself from some of my personal party friends and associates. I took an open stand against that kind of ow quickly a morning Demo- cratic paper commenced cackling that Fil- ley was to be downed, that the seventeen of the House and thre charter voters of the Council were fighting Filley, and going to do him up. Is it to be supposed that I was unaware of the conditions tp be encoun- tered? Sometimes, if not always, it is bet- ter to be right than President. I have never had to have a political mentor and guide—except the principles of the party and its platforms, and its untarnished in- terests. Individually, unsolicited and for the sole interests of the party and of the citizens at large, I did step into the breach and opposed the Sweeney bill at a critical and decisive time. Then my purposes were challenged, when_it was only carrying out the pledges that I made upon the platform night after night in open denunciation of the Sweeney bill and all other franchise steals last spring. and in which I made the Sweeney bill and all other franchise grabs a special point of open attack and named them out in open meetings. Vested rights were also guaranteed protection. Thirty- four years ago I refused to grant any spe- cial privileges to street railways until each and all conformed to the ordinances. This while I was Mayor and but a kid com- paratively. I vetoed a waterworks bill that passed the Council, then having only one legisia- tive body—by a unanimous vote, with the threat of having it passed over my head, but it wasn’t, in order to protect the city and to get a waterworks. he Council! su8- tained me and I got whatlI sought, a Water- works Board, with power to issue bonds, purchase or condemn property and to bulid a works, which it did, and the present sy tem !s the result. Did a single person s0&- gest a veto? No, but on the contrary & monument was proffered to me in the Reser- voir Park if I signed the bill. I doubt if the works would have been completed in twen- ty years if left to the annual appropriations and controlled by the biennial changes Pp°- litically of the Council. The matter wag taken completely out of partisanship 4” beyond the control of individual interests, Ifft had remained in the office, and had not reviened, as I was assured 1 could before mf election, for I did not seek or want ft, I should have made the same euort to fe- cure control of the gas works, But needed State legislation was requisite as in a waterworks, for the city had no means — a bond issue was necessary and had to sent a special message to the City Counel with a set of resolutions, asking the Sen- ators and instructing the Representatives in the Legislature from St. Louls to vote, against its sale. This is where the breach, was made between the late Wijiiam Mee Kee and his paper, the Missourl Democrat, He was committed 1o the sale, as was his paper. I had then, as now, personal and party friends to oppose. It was not the whisky ring exposure that estranged us, for that exposure Was engi~ neered and consummated by George . Fishback and Myron Coloney, and was neither privy nor a party to It, and knew nothing of it until the day of the seizures, This is a plecé of history for the firs: time made public, and ‘it is no apology either, It is only to prove that I fol owed duty then, as now, irrespective of personal and part friends, and a rule that will not be depart from in the future, no matter who it hits third of a century I — = changed, and for the next uarter do no intend to.

The present outbreak of yellow feverat New Orleans can hardly be looked upon as an epidemic, so mild has been its course and so small the percentage of mortality. The past record of the disease at this point gives great hope that the sanitary conditions in this Southern city are being s0 improved that this may be the last time the yellow pest will be able to show itself except sporadically. The cases of yellow fever at New Or- leans up to Friday numbered 1,706, with @ death list of 223. This is but a little over 13 per cent. The average mortality of several diseases is higher, and the av- erage mortality of yellow feverin epidem- ics in the past has very greatly exceeded this, often reaching one in three. As for the number of deaths, it is insignificant in comparison with past epidemics. In 1853 New Orleans had 8,400 @eaths from yellow fever; in 1854, 2,423; in 1855, 2,670; in 1858, 3,899 deaths, and in 1867, 3,093 deaths. Let New Orleans and other Southern cities take heart and go on vigorously with such sanitary improvements as making good streets and keeping them clean; putting in the most modern sys- tems of sewage disposal; educating the people on subjects of sanitation; estab- lishing thorough systems of quarantine, and encouraging the citizens generally to live clean, orderly lives. In this way it is probable epidemics may be stamped out entirely. The lowering of the death rates in modern cities generally proves that this is not an impogsibility. The franchise grahbers and the bood- lers are combined. The people must meet corrupt combine with effective or- ganization, ——————————— ll el THE ARMORY QUESTION. The soldier boys ought to be main- ‘tained and properly housed. But that does not necessarily mean that they ought to be provided with a massive fortress, a modern bastile, frowning down on the clty’s streets. They will find it to their interest in the long run to depend upon popular sympathy and good organization rather than on thick walls and castellated bastions. oak There can be no doubt that the erec- tion of a fortified armory, after the fash- ion of some Eastern citles, would deepen the prejudice against the militia in Mis- souril. It ought to be the effort of all good citizens and of the soldier boys themselves to remove that prejudice instead of increasing it. This can be done by proving that the militia is iden- tified in every way with the people and the Interests of the State and city in which they are located. It cannot be done by resorting to feudal methods— immuring the men in massive castles, — manifesting distrust of the peo- ple. Make the militia popular. Invite young men of all classes into its ranks. Let them be content with drill-sheds and such housing as will preserve their equipment properly. Let them strive for the peo- ple’s confidence. - The Post-Dispatch map\yshowed how thoroughly the franchise bbers have planned to gridiron the city for the fry- ing of fat out of the people. I SECRETS OF CRIME. There are secrets of crime which the police officials of St. Louis, of Missouri, of the world are eager to know. Every day there are crimes committed, so dark 80 mysterious, that they are, seemingly. past all human finding out. The greatest minds in the various police departments of the country are centered upon them. Suspects are placed under arrest, but they are shrewd enough to appear sul- len and wise enough to Maintain sij- lence, and all the efforts of their captors go for naught. But there is a power that can be brought to bear on a criminal more humbling and more terrifying than the “thirty-third degree.’ This power can be tested by any reader and its work- ings will be fully explained by an ex- pert in to-morrow’s Sunday Post-Dis- patch. There will also be the strange story of a St. Loulsan who seeks a commission to kill, and who insures the painless dis, patch of victime; of two lovers who rode part of the way across two States on @ horse's back to be married; of an im- migrant who found prosperity, but lost a bride; of ghostly protesia, which have alarmed a whole county; and there will be many other features, equally, inter- ar toward ex- mammoth Digpatch, esting, whose merit will gof plaining the popularity and circulation of the Sunday Post-4 the great home paperofthe W est.

Having passed the Council, when the bill was defeated by President Meier's refusal to sign it, there is strong pre- sumption that it will pass that body again. Effective opposition, unless pow- erful popular pressure is brought to bear upon the members, cannot be expected there, : Amendments alleged to be for the bet- terment of the measure are farcical. It is practically the same monstrous steal it was when the Post-Dispatch first ex- posed its iniquities. It was shown then that it involved a grab of $4,000,000 in franchise values. The terms of the grant are carefully worded so as to offer. the widest opportunity for franchise jobbing and speculation. It gives the promot- ers opportunity. to put up the franchise filched from the city at public auction. It enables them to take only so much of the franchise as may be saleable or profitable and abandon the part which would be of real benefit to the people in outlying districts. It is a mere specu- lative job. Pending with this wholesale job is the wholesale grab of the Lindell, which provides for the confiscation of fran- chise properties and available streets in the western half of the city. The For- est Park steal is also pending, with lesser grabs, The people must act at once for the protection of their rights and interests. They must act with effective power. They must show the city authorities that they are determined not to be robbed and will punish the robbers. They must be prepared to invoke every safeguard un- der the law. They must organize at once.

H. Clay Evans, to the Secretary of the Interior has been made public. A summary foliows: The names of 50101 new pensioners were added to the rolls during the year, and 3,- 971 persons were restored to the rolls; a total of 54,072. During the same period the losses to the roll ‘were 31,960 by deaths, 1074 by re- marriage of ‘widows, 1,845 by legal limita- tion (minors), 2,683 for failure to claim pen- sion for three years and 4,569 for other causes—an aggregate of 41,122. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1897, was 976,014. The net gain over the pre- vious year was 56,336, “Tt will be seen that the pension roll has not yet begun to show any diminution,” says Mr. Evans, “though it has been an- Ueipated by my predecessors in office that such would be the fact. Seven widows and nine daughters of revolutionary siillare on the pension yous. “During the year, 94 454 pension certificates were tssued, of ‘Which number 50,501 were original allowances and the balance were re- issues, increases, restorations, ete. “Of this number, 14,671 certificates of va- rious clasees were held in this bureau until July 1, 1897, and are accordingly not credited to the last fiscal year. Duril the same per'od, 76,234 claims of various classes were disallowed. Thie number, however, does not include claims which were made for higher rates of pensions. The amount disbursed for pensions by ‘the pension agents during the year wae $139,799,242.12, and the amount disbursed by Treasury settlement was $150,- 475.23, a total of $139,949,717.25. This exceeds the amount disbursed during the fiscal year 18u6 by the sum of $1,584,480.185. If the 14,671 certificates which, as before stated, were held in th'!s bureau until July 1, 1897, had been mailed to the pension agents during the fiscal year, they would have required first payments amounting to $2,191,694, be- sides the additional annual value, which also would have been a charge upon the appropriation. This amount. added to that actually disbursed, makes an aggregate of $141,990,936. The appropriation for the pay- ment of pensions for the fiscal year of 1897 was only $140,000,000. The average annual value of each pension at the close of the year was $133.17. The average annual value of each pens'on under the general law was $162.04; each under the act of June 27, 1890, was $109.5. The aggregate annual value of all penéions, at the close of the year was $129,795,428. This, of course. excludes the cases that were held up. Forty-four orig- inal and seven duplicate bounty land claims were admitted and 145 original claims of this charactér were. rejected.” Referring to the consolidation of agencies, Commiesioner Evans recommends that the executive order of July 14 last, suspend'ng the operation of the order of Feb. .6. 1897 the latter of which provided for the con- solidation, be continued indefinitely. AN AMERICAN YACHT SUNK The Social Wrecked and Several Lives : Were Lost. soldiers NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—A dispatch received in this city from St.-Thomas, West Indies, says that the American schooner yacht So- clal was wrecked on the rocks off the Is- land of St. Croix the morning of Oc- tober 23. Several Members of the crew and some of the passengers were drowned. The dispatch describes the Social as a small ves- sel, not over twenty-six tons. She was in command of. Capt. Lord. She arrived a: St. Thomas on the afternoon of Oct. 21, from New York, on a cruise through.the West Indian Is\jands, and sailed the following day for the Island of St. Kitt’s (St. Christopher). During the afternoon of Oct. 22a storm of great violence swept over the island and it ig the belief there that the schooner was caught far out from any harbor. The only yacht on the American vacht Hst by the name cf Social was formerly. the Cornelia. She was a keel schooner yacht, built In Bouth ‘Brooklyn by J. MeGarrick in 1873. She was originally owned by Dr. Vardy of Jersey City, a member of the New York Yacht Club. She ‘was at first a centerboard schooner, modeled ‘by Robert Fish, and de- signed to be a very fast craft .She was sub- sequenily rebuilt and changed into a keel schooner. The American yacht list gives Mr. Oscar B. Smith as her late owner. He ts an old member of the Larchmont Yacht Club, The Social had the reputation of being a staunch Nh vessel. Mr. Smith lives at Morristown, WHISKY BURIED IN 1838. Search Will Be Made for Old Liquor on Main Street. Capt. John Shaw, aged 71, of St. Charles, Mo., was In St. Louts a few days ago, and While passing Main street men making an excavation. This recalled to his memory an event of 1838, and he told his friends that when he was a boy in St. Louis a bottle of whisky was burigd at the northeast corner of Main and Clay streets. He said it was a matter of record in the County Clerk’s offices That afternoon the books were examined and the following was found: : State of Missouri, County of St. Charles—ss. Be it remembered, that on this second day of September, 1538, there was buried by L. E. Powell, Benj. Emmons, Charles E. Allen, David MeCausland and Wm. H. H. Cortez one bottle of good old Monongahela whisky, which said bottle was placed in a stone jar with the names of most of the citizens of the town of St. Charlies, both male and female, with various manuscripts, marked and sealed in phials.

Question Whether the Prosecuting At- torney Is Not in Contempt of Court for Swearing to -: the Information. Here is another chapter to the pool-room history of St. Louts: Saturday morning Prosecuting Attorney O'Malley ap- peared at the warrant office and swore to information against the keeper and attaches of the Brooklyn pool-room. Warrants ween bookmaking and pool- selling were issue@*against the follow!ng: George Erlich, William Kinney, Emanuel Pearles, Ray Shumway, Thomas Burlse, William McGill, Lee Gates, John Swift, Thomas Foster, Robert Toney, Charles Johnson, Sam Allen, James Armstrong and Herbert Herner. Capt. O’Malley and Detectives McGrath and Guion are named on the warrants as witnesses. Inasmuch as Judge Murphy has repeat- edly ruled in favor of the pool-rooms on the occasion of former arrests. there is a question whether he will not hold Prosecut- ing Attorney Mulvihill for contempt of court. “I will take the risk,’’ said the Prosecut- ing Attorney, “and if I am sent to jail, I | Suppose I will have friends to send in flow- ers and sweetmeats.”’ Judge Murphy is. away on a vacation. He has not served fn his court for the last ten | days. Attorney George Sidener ts acting as | provisional Judge. How much longer Judge Murphy will pro- / long his vacation is an unsettled question, The last heard from him he was in Cairo, iil. It is generally believed around the Four ' Courts that he will resume his seat as soon as ae that the pool-room people are ar- | reted., Judge Murphy’s attitude on the pool-room / cases and the Breeders’ law, enacted at the last session of’ the LegfSlature, is well , known. In the event that he remains away from the bench, the cases will come before Provisional Judge Sidener. So far as known, he has never committed himself and his de- cision will be awaited with much interest. ' The tssue in the present cases is the same as in former cases decided by Judge Mur- pny. ‘ The pool-room men didn’t wait to be ar- rested. “As soon as they heard that the warrants had been issued they went in a | body to the Four Courts and gave bonds. ROBBERY FRUSTRATED. An Arrest Made as the Result of a Suspicious Conversation. The police made an afrest Sattirrday morn- ing. which, they think, will prevent the well-planned hold-up of Saloonkeeper Jo- seph Rozier, 900 Market street. At 10 o’clock in the morning Emil Stroh, a newspaper employe, took a seat on John a nt bootblack stand, in front of Rosler’s saioon. While the negro was polishing his shoes, Stroh overheard his conversation with an- other negro and a white man. Stroh says that the three completed ar- | Tangemewts for the hold-up of Rozter’s sa- ; 1OONn., ‘“They agreed that Harris should enter the side door about 10 o’clock to-night,”’ says | Stroh, ‘and that the other two would then | be at the bar drinking, and that when Har- | ris entered the three were to draw their re- | volvers and tell Rosier to throw up his ' hands. Then Harris was to go in back of the bar and take the money out of the drawer. ‘*Before the robbery they were to meet at Ninth and Walnut streets and from there proceed to the saloon.” Stroh called Patrolman Heinze and Har- ris was arrested. The other men got away before the officer arrived. At the Four Courts Chief Desmond would permit no one to talk to Harris. TRIAL OF MARTIN ENSLEY. Case Will Be Begun Before Judge Hir. zel on Nov. 12. The case of Martin Ensley, charged with assault to kill Charlies D. Collins, will be called before Judge Hirzel at Clayton, No- vember 12. Deputy sheriffs are busy serving subpoe- nas and say they find much difficulty tn lo- cating witnesses, as many of them gave wrong addresses, The assault occurred at Meramec High- lands last spring and Collins claims that Enslcy robbed him of $6,000. VICTIM OF A RUNAWAY. National Brewery Salesman Receives Severe Injuries. Charles Blume, city salesman for the National Brewery, Eighteenth and Gratiot streets, was the victim of an _ exciting runaway Friday evening. While driving in his bugey along Eigh- teenth street, and when near Ann avenue, the horse ran away. Blume was thrown out of the buggy and received a painful cut over the right eye. He was also badly bruised, Bystanders carried the injured man to Harnisch’s office, 2307 South Bighteenth street. From there he was taken to his home, 2646 Nebraska avenue. The frightened horse continued his mad run. He dashed south on South Eighteenth street, and at Barton street collided with | motor car 298 of the Union Depot Rallway. 'The buggy was smashed and the horse was captured. The car was not damaged. The Interstate Telegraph Company, 814 Olive street, receives and transmits money orders and telegrams to all points.

INSTRUMENTS AS WEAPONS. Banjos and Mandolins Smashed and Scalps Lacerated. . Parker’s string band journeyed tbrdugh South St. Louis Friday night, giving sere- nades and passing the hat. After a performance a dispute arose over the distribution of the proceeds. Ed Moser plays the mandolin and Sol Evans the banjo- The row was between them. Moser emashed his instrument over the head of Evans with slight effect, and Evans came back with the heavy banjo on the scalp of Moser. Parker, Frank Havens and two others took a hand in the fight, and it was a lively set-to. The result was that all the band’s instru- ments were ruined and Moser was so badly cut about the head that he had to go to the City Dispensary and have his injuries dressed by Dr. Newcomb. He then went to hie home, 1024 Hickory street. Sarsfield Club Reception. The Sarsfield Club will give its second re- ception this evening at Chatsworth Hall, Seventeenth and Olive streets.

The Council of the Queen’s Daughters was found- ed eight years ago and its growth has been phe- nomenal. The objects of the order are to perform spiritual and corporal works of mercy. It instructs the ignorant, comforts the afflicted, feeds the hun- naked, harbors the homeless. It establishes sewing and industrial schools, where children are tanght sewing and industrial work. Five of these schools have been opened in the city, viz: The Annunciation, St. John’s, Cathedral, Law- rence O'Toole aud St. Patrick. These schools are generally attended by poor children and the order is doing much good in the community. The old Cathedral on Walnut street, built in 1834, has seen many changes in St. Louis. From being the center of the residence portion of the city, it is now surrounded by business houses and squalid tenements. Its territory is large and is filled with people of al] nationalities. A great many poor chil- dren are taught in its different schools. The Queen's Daughters instruct in the Sunday and sewing schools and the instruction given is such as to make good men and women out of these lit- tle ones. It is said that the first Christian mar- riage and first baptism in Missour!l were in a Cath- olic mission. This mission was a forerunner of the old Cathedral.

SS eee UP TO THE COUNCIL, — HOUSE PASSES THE NORTH AND SOUTH RAILWAY BILL WITH CHEERFUL ALACRITY. VOTE SEVENTEEN TO ELEVEN. There Were Some Efforts to Kill the Bill, but the Minority Was Disheartened. The North and South Railroad bill passed the House of Delegates Friday night by a vote of 17 to ll. The votes was as follows: Yeas—Bersch, Decker, Gutke, Hartmann, Helms, Hirth, Judy, King, Madera, Murrell, Ritter. Schaefer, Schumacher, Wander, , Willmore, Wittenberg and Lehmann—l7. Nays—Burke, Coudrey, Debrodt, Henning, Lloyd. Pauley, Robertson, Schuler, Sween- ey, Watson and Weeke—ll. The action of the House and the exact vote on the bill was discounted in the Post- Dispatch more than a week ago, and last night’s performance surprised no one. It was expected, however, that the tactics of the opposition would throw the House into a tyrmoil, and that the session would be a stormy one. But the opposition saw the futility of resisting, and the passage of the bill was as serene as if the memabers had been voting on a recess resolution, Delegate Sweeney tried to interpose ob- jection by asking if further amendments were in order, but he was promptly squelched by the Speaker, who ruled him out of order and everything else that bobbed up against the final vote met With the same fate. When ex-Speaker Lloyd’s name was called he explained dis change of base. He had been one of the most ardent advo- cates of @ne original bill, but in the months that elapsed since then he had learned that such men as John A. Holmes and F. X. Barada, whom he understood to be financially interested in the measure, had not a cent of interest in it. Further than this he was convinced that it was never the purpose of the promoters to build the road, but the whole scheme had the ul- terior purpose of hammering down the stock of other railroad companies in order opportune — - —— Prosperity the Greatest a the unlearned in surgery are familiar.

In Mr. Lloyd’s opinion thé bill was but another scheme of Promoter Sweeney. Delegate Sweeney (Dem.) also explained why he gave the bill such cordial support when it was first before the Assembly and pleaded the same reasons as Lloyd for now opposing it. Speaker Lehmann replied to Sweeney from the chair and declared that the preseat bill was a much better one than the old bill. This. angered Sweeney, who rebuked the oe for “‘legging’’ for the bill from the chair. After the announcement of the vote the speaker lost no time in signing the bill and it was sent immediately to the Couneil. where it was read the first time without objection.

The Board had received an intimation from the City Counselor that the ordinance was il- jega] and had referred the whole matter to him for correction.

In addition to his speech, Mr. Heckel sub- mitted a lengthy preamble and resolutions on the subject, the main clause of which reads as follows: Be it ordained, Th:t the Board of Public Im- provements, conferring with such other muni- cipal officers, as, acting concurrently, will best . and most speedily enable the city to provide for and protect itself in the reletting of the light- ing contract expiring Dec. 31, 1890, do prepare and submit to this body, within thirty days hereafter, complete information, comprising requisite ordinarces, specifications and form of proposed contract, together with such other in- formation, generai and epecial, as will in a comprehensive manner tend to meet the emer- gencies of the present situation.

Mrs. Osborn, the wife of Deputy Sheriff John Osborn of Clayton, heard: a knock at her back door Thursday night about 11:30 | o’clock. She thought it was her husband and she opened the door. A strange man stood before her and with- out eaying a word he dashed a package of black and red pepper and sand into her eyes. The man then escaped. Mrs. Osborn was blinded and the pain was intense. She screamed for assistance and her son, who wae in the front part of the house, ran to her rescue. Dr. Casten was summoned and he applied the usual treatment. Mrs. Osborn says she has no idea who her assailant w4s, nor what could have been his motive. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is an unexcelled medicine for children while teething.

The State Board ag only been organized a few years, be- cause theretofore we were so busy in 8t. Louis trying to get our home institutions on a successful basis that we really had no time to give our experiences to others nor to seek suggestions from the outside. Ags soon as we could do so we organized and are now ready to admit to our conferences not only those called ‘Women’s Christian Associations,’ but every society engaged in Christian work. The object of this organi. zation ig to educate women in the best means of accomplishing the objects of their several societies. Mind you, the board has no control whatever over the institutions represented in it. It is merely to exchange views and experiences and facilitate sys- tematizing the Christian work of women.” The following named institutions will have delegates at the conference: St. Louis—Woman’s Christian Woman’s Training School, Memor!i Rlind Girls’ Home, Travelers’ Aj Women’s Christian Association, Whit Home, Young Women’s Auxillary, Side Day Nursery Association, Isabella Crow Kindergarten Association, Methodist Orphans’ Home, Baptist Orphans’ Home, Colored Orphans’ Home, Baptist Hospital Association, Hepzibah Door of Hope.

I said, further, that any work a Christian woman can do !s Woman's Christian Aseo- elation work, and entitled to enter the con. ference. “The board invites to membership, there. fore. every philanthropical, charitable or benevolent society of women in every elty and town of the State, no matter how small the town or the society, the object being, as stated in the constitution of the Boston Association, ‘to nefit women morally, physically and spiritually,’ especi- all oung women. Weferring to the women’s institutions in t Louls, Mrs. Rainwater said, with a | pardonable Gogres of pride: |” we are really in a flourishing condition, considering the hard times and the business depression of the past.

THE THEATERS. ——_— A large and well-dressed audience em joyed ‘‘The Comedy of Errors” last night at the Century Theater. John L. Woodersom took the part of the Dromio of Syracuse, played by Mr. Crane when he was with Mr, Robson. Of course Mr. Wooderson had te adapt himself to Mr. Robson's idiosynerae | Co. cies. It was an indifferent adaptation. Ed- win Holt and John Webster, Jr., were the other twins. Mrs, Robson was Adriana. She was big, blooming and beautiful as usual, The production was handsome. ‘The Hene rietta”’ is the bill this afternoon and to night. —0— A large and fashionable audience assem. bled at the Pickwick Theater Friday even- ing to see three plays presented by Guy Lindsley and his pupils. The plays were “The Violin Maker,” “David Garrick" and the farce-comedy, “Six and Sevens.” Mr, Lindsley played the leads. He is a careful and finished actor, and the plays gave him an opportunity to display his versatility. But for the announcement on the pro- gramme, no one would have known the men and women on the stage were students and amateurs. Miss L. Maude Withsup is an actress of merit, although nominally an amateur. Miss Minnie Burton gives prome ise of becoming a fine soubrette. She ig pretty and small, and in the comedy, “Sixes and Sevens,” did a fetching little song ang dance. Miss Rosemary Curtis is also prome ising and versatile. She played well twe widely different parts. The young men in the casts were G. Lem ter Gruner, W. E. Gamage, 8. Olchovy, B Cc. Lambert and O. Reyburn. Miss Kather~ ine Patterson appeared only as the violin makers daughter. Her part was intelli- gently played and she was a very attractive and pretty little Italian maid. —o—_ Catherine Campbell will leave the Impertaj Theater Stock Company after to-night’s performance. She and Beaumont Smith, the stags manager, quarreled because he cast her for old woman parts, although she was engaged to play second leads to Mise Bate» man’s firsts. COAL COMMISSION NAMED.
