In the “sweat box’’ Keller was questioned and cross-questioned. During this interview Keller made the following written state- ment: “My name is Joseph Keller.

The Release of the Men Meant to Soften the Hearts of Ameri- cans Against the Span- ish Government, Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18-—-The State Department has received information that the prisoners caught in the capture of the filibustering schooner Competitor have been released without trial from the Ce i i i i | CAT Spanish fortress in tained. the United States to-day. The capture of the Competitor by Capt. Butron of the Spanish gunboat Mesagara on April 25, 1896, was one of the most im- portant events of the Cuban revolution. A great cargo of ammunition was found aboard the schooner, and the men who were unloading her had already landed a con- siderable part of the war material. When the capture was made the ship and the men aboard of her wer: taken to Ha- vana. The five prisoners were tried by a courtmartial and sentenced to death, and would have been hanged had It not been for the most prompt action by the Govern- ment of the United States..After negotia- tions with the Ministry at Madrid the American Government secured a new trial for the prisoners, To the people of the United States the most Interesting prisoner in the batch of five is Ona Melton, a youne Kansan with- out a drop of Cuban or Spanish blood in his veins, He ‘had gone south and had worked as a reporter on several newspapers.

Alfred Laborde, the commander of the Competitor, is a native of New Orleans, His father is a retired Colonel of the Span- ish army, who lives in Havana. Capt. La- iborde has two brothers who live in New York. He himself was an ensign in the army of Spain in 1873. His wife and chil- dren live tn Key West. William Kinlea, another one of the pris- oners, is an Englishman who -lived several years in Philadelphia, but was never nat- uralized as an American. He is a sailor. Theodore Maza is a native Spaniard, who came to Cuba when a lad and who joined the insurgents shortly after the otttbreak of the present rebellion. He left the fleld to take part in filibustering expeditions. The other prisoner is [Elias Bedia, a native Havanese. He is a physician and has lived in Key West since he was a boy. It is understood here that the release of the Competitor crew at this time is a sop thrown to Congress by Sagasta, and that he has been led to this action by the hope that it will soften the sentiment in this country against Spain and may tend to make Congress more conservative and less liable to pass’ resolutions according belligerent rights to the Cuban insurgent.

One of the advantages urged in favor of the change of the school system was the opportunity to be gained by the elec- tion of an honest board to get at the facts of crookedness for the exposure and punishment of the guilty. It is one of the | duties of honest officials to expose and aid in the prosecution of dishonest of- ficials. It is, perhaps, not the duty of the pres- ent School Directors to prosecute crimi- nally those who have robbed the school fund, but it is their duty to do all in their power to have them prosecuted and to ald in securing evidence of guilt, It is sound public policy.

This is a matter that can be done. It is only a question of hard work and disinfec- tien. But what about the seven little boys whom the Mayor and his party found there, some of whom have been in this den of criminals for as long as four months?

Speaker Lehmann replies to President Meier's suggestion that the House of Delegates be abolished with the cross- counter suggestion that the Council be abolished. Citizens of St. Louis, in view of the records of the two branches of the Mu- nicipal Assembly, are inclined to regard with impartial judgment this contest for the credit of being the lesser of two evils. A jury of victimized taxpayers would find it difficult to decide the relative unrighteousness of the two bodies. Both Houses have conspicuously ilbus- trated the evils of corrupt legislation and of boodle combines. It is the current im- pression that a House of Delegates com- bine is less greedy than a Council com- bine, but that the former makes up in ac- tivity what it lacks in high valuation. The Council has maintained some of the worst boodle combines, known in the his- tory of St. Louis, but it has enjoyed peri- ods of cessation from vicious work. On | the other hand, there fs no cessation in Vicious activities in the House. Perhaps St. Louis would gain by the abolition of both branches of the As- sembiy and the substitution of a small body of well-paid men, directly responsi- ble to all the people.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 18.—The gul- cide at Olathe, Kan., of J. F’. Herman, edi- tor and lawyer, Sunday-school superintend- ent and poker player, church member and swindler, forms a story of deception, double dealing and fraud as well defined in its features as the dual existence of Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Fifteen years ago John F. Herman came to Olathe from Carlisle, Pa., at the age of 24. He was a young attorney of g00d fam- ily. Though he was a cripple and walked with a cane, ho was handsome, He at once came into favor with the best people of the town. He dressed well, always wore a silk hat, and, in fact, in society, he was in- Stalled as a leader. No ball was complete, no reception a success, no function worth while, unless he attended. He was much sought after and he went everywhere, But it was not in society alone that Mr. Her- man was received with favor. He joined the church soon after coming here. The newcomer had been'a Lutheran at his’ home in Pennsylvania. Here he affiliated with the Congregationalisis and became a mem- er of the church of ex-Gov. John P. St. ohn and Maj. I. O. Pickering. His fidelity to the cause of the church was noticeable, though it was not displayed with ostenta- tious sanctimony. ° Only two or three years after the Penn- Sylvanian arrived in Olathe, he was chosen Superintendent of the Sunday-schoo]l of the Congregational Church. He was elected and re-elected until he had held the position for six or eight years. The school thrived and interest in it increased. It was generally acknowledged among the church members that Herman was an excellent man for the place. He was constant in his attendance and he Jed the services with a religious fervor that ‘was often remarked, The chil- dren liked the superintendent and the latter seemed to love the pupils of his school. There were about 850 members of the Con- regational Church at Olathe, and 300 ¢hil- ren attended Sunday-school there. Every Sunday for at least six years Mr. Herman appeared before these little ones as their leader. Harry D. Smith was minister of the Christian Church of Olathe eleven years ago. ‘He came from Kansas City, where his parents live, and, being a single man, he went to room with John F. Herman, super- intendent of the Congregational Sunday- school, with whom he became acquainted. The two had a room above a store on one of the principal business streets before Herman gained possession of a house of his own and went there to live. While living alone in his home the lawyer became seri- ously sick. He was carefuuly nursed ‘by Miss Kate Seallon, a teacher in the deaf and dumb institute, with whom he was in love, and they were married before Her- man was well enough to leave his room, That was ten years ago, and it was consid- ered a romantic marriage at the time. In business, also, the man _ from the Quaker State came prominently before the people. He was Justice of the Peace, an applicant for the postmastership during Cleveland’s second adniinistration, a de- feated candidate by 37 votes in 5,000 last fall for the office of County Attorney on the Democratic-Populist ticket. He secured the Olathe Weekly Herald and used it asa cudgel with which to castigate his political enemies. At the last meeting of the South- eastern Kansas Editorial Association Her- REV. DR GEORGE H. HOUGHTON, THE ACTORS’ FRIEND, IS DEAD. —_--_- He Was Known the Whole World Over as the. Pastor of the “Little Church Around the Corner.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. NBW YORK, Nov. 18.—Rev. Dr. George H. Houghton is dead. The summons came suddenly last evening, after a short illness, of pneumonia, Dr. Houghton was 77. For forty-seven years he was Known as pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner. A generation ago Joseph Holland, an English actor and the father of Joseph and E. M. Holland, died in this city and Jo- seph Jefferson took charge of the funeral arrangements. He went to a prominent church and asked the pastor to corMduct the services. The minister said: “I can’t have an actor’s funeral in my church. My con- gregation would not like it. But there is a little church around the corner where they do such things.” Mr. Jefferson said: ‘‘God bless the little church around the corner.” ‘Mr. (Holland’s funeral services were held there. From the same church, mourners fol- lowed to the grave Lester Wallack, Dion Boucicault, Edwin Booth, Harry Montague, James Lewis and many others. He was born in Deerfield, Mass., in 1820, and after graduation at the New York Unit- versity studied theology. In 1848 he or- REV. DR. GEORGE H. HOUGHTON. ganized the congregation of the Pre 4 the Transfiguration. At first it was a ha struggle, but Dr. Houghton carried his point, and to-day the church !s one of the most substantial in the diocese of New York. Dr. Houghton was a quiet minister who never tried to take the world by the throat and reform it by strangling it to death. Like the priest in tae song, he knew his flock, and has ever had kind words for the erring. He never worked by proxy. He never left his parish for a summer eae and his life has been one of unceasing work. His dearest love was the Order of the Sie- terhood of St. Mary, of which he was the chaplain. He constantly visited all the in- stitutions of the order near New York and always conducted the services when a new member was admitted. Not long ago the good doctor was reprimanded for Baving ignored the law which commands, under penalties, that all marriage certificates must be filed by the officiating clergyman within ten days after the ceremony. The fact of the matter was that the doctor couldn't find titne to doit. His custom was to send in certificates by batches, covering months. The authorities did not prosecute him, but he would have been prosecuted had not he been the tenderest pastor in all New York and the heart of “The Little Church Around the Corner.’’ L HARRIET COCHRAN FINDS HER RELATIVES ATTER A SEARCH OF MANY YEARS. LEFT HOME WHEN A BABY. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 18.—Full of roman- tic interest is the story connected with Miss Harriet Cochran’s return to her East Tren- ton relatives after a separation of over six- teen years. When but three months old, and shortly after the death of her parents, Harriet was adopted by a Trenton family which soon after moved to the distant West. From that the girl. Her relatives did not know whether she was dead or alive. It was not until Harriet had man was elected president and he went to Galveston with that body. In _ 1890 “Her- | man’s Collecting Agency, Nelson Building, | Kansas City, residence, Olathe,’’ made its) appearance and for a year Herman went to} Kansas City in the morning and returned | to his home at night.

BLACKMAILING CONSPIRACY. Hawley and His Gang Have a Long Record in Europe and America in Card Sharking, Badger Games and Scoundrelism. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—“Big’”’ Hawley is on trial here for attempting to blackmail a Schermerhorn. This is an act tanta- mount to an assault on all the ultra ex- clusive of New York, because the Scher- merhorns have led the dances since Hol- land lads and lassies first tripped to the music of old Peter Stuyvesant’s fiddle, away back yonder in the days of New Amsterdam. Independent of this feature of the social side of the trial it is remarkable because of the daring of “Big’’ Hawley and his gang. There are many who stand high in social circles in this city who will be nervous until this trial is over, for Hawley has grown ugly, and declares he will drag before the public men who have paid him for keeping their secrets. Those who have skeletons which the swindler might thus expose, however, take comfort in the fact that there is said to be little or no chance that he will be able to rake in any irrelevant testimony. He is threatening to do so in the hope that he | will thus force some of the influential men among his many victims to help him ‘to get out of this case. Hawley is William Carroll Woodward, alias James Ward, alias ‘“‘Big’’ Hawley, alias Hon, Lionel Musgrave. e has a lot of other aliases, but it.:is under these names that he is best known to the police and to the victims of the many darirg and profit- able swindles he has perpetraced. His lat- est intended victim is 8S. ’, Bridgeman, son-in-law of William C, Schermerhorn, @ millionaire. Last April Bridgeman was served with papers tn a suit brought ageinee him by a man calling himself James Ward, who demanded $100, from Bridgeman for alienating the affections of his wife, Eu- gentia Ward. James Ward was one of the aliases of Woodward, while Eugenia Ward was Woodward's old pal, ‘““English Jennie. John Walsh, an ex-convict, who had long been associated with Woodward, however, figured as “James Ward,’ the injured hus- band. After serving the papers in the alien- ation suit, and writing some letters, in which he talk about settling the case, James lL. Brown, an alleged lawyer, drew up a pe- tition for divorce, brought by James Ward against his wife, Eugenia, naming Bridger man as co-respondent, The beginning of the divorce proceedings was simply another step in the blackmail conspiracy. ' Letters to Mr. Bridgeman suggesting a settlement of the case continued, and in them he was warned against the danger of publicity. Lawyer Brown gave the tip to a ri patel 5 and an attempt to frighten Bridgeman followed... The young writer saw he had been duped and left his story with Bridgeman instead of printing it. More letters threatening exposure were received and offers to compromise were numerous. When these did not make Bridgeman part with his money the conspirators, according to the District Attorney, took another step. Woodward appeared at the office of Law- yer Halligan and introduced a woman as} Mrs. Eugenia Ward. Halligan knew Wood- ward as a crook, having defended him in a previous ¢ase. The woman told Halligan that her hus- band, James Ward, had obtained a divorce by default, in a suit in which he alleged that Bridgeman was the co-respondent. She said that she wanted the default opened and. the divorce case tried. Hal- ligan’s investigations proved that Ward had never secured a divorce. He communicated with Bridgeman and was one of the im- portant witnesses before the Grand-jury. Woodward, Walsh and “English Jennie’ were indicted, Brown, the alleged lawyer, disappeared. Woodward was arrested in Boston, Walsh succeeded in getting ball. He will be tried later. To tell the gtory of the life and crimes of Woodward with any completeness would require a search of the criminal records of two continents. He Was born in Memphis, Tenn., about forty years ago, of a highly respected fam- ily. His father was a county trustee, a man of most expensive habits, and was finally charged with embezzlement. His father returned after a long exile in Mexico, Was acquitted on a technicality and then died. The mother died of a broken heart. Woodward behaved himself until he at- tained his majority, but then developed tastes like those which had ruined his father. He soon afterwards was arrested for passing counterfeit gold coin. He es- eaped by jumping from a moving train, made his way to New York and was soon taken up as a protege of Parmelee Jones, “The Green Goods King.” In addition to working the green goods game, Woodward became an expert cheat at cards. He was able to meet and fleece many men in the New York clubs and on transatlantic steamships. A dozen stories have been printed of prominent New York- ers whom he has cheated in this way. Woodward's career in this city continued, but he was lucky enough never to get long eéntenhces of imprisonment. He had mar- ried a respectable and wealthy woman with three children, and her money, together with what he secured through his swin- dling operations, enabled him to be a high- roller. Matters got so bad In 18%, however, that Woodward, with Frank Tarbo, had to skfp the country. On the way over he tried to swindle George Gould and other wealthy passengers on the steamship Paris at a card game, but was caught and exposed. It was in London that Woodward blos- somed out as the Hon. Lionel Musgrave, He took a fine house with Frank Tarbo in Stanhope Garden, fn the fashionable Ken- sington quarter, drove fine haesses and soon established a wide haps vaintance —s clubmen. He entertained young meno e Scatomnbibe set and their women lavishly. The attention of the police was soon fixed on the place. The crash came when a young man who was thrown down the front steps of the house, badly injured, confessed that he was the son of a very wealthy Lon- don merchant, that he had lost over $300,000 in card games to Woodward and Tarbo within a week and that when he had finally become convinced that he was being cheated and protested he was attacked, cut with two old swords and thrown out. Woodward and Tarbo were arrested, but released on bail and fled to op- erate other Purc n capitals. Then ecores of young and old men began to put In an appearance and told stories of how they had been awindied through card and other ewindles. |} badger games irc he shrewdest money lend.

ONCE EMINENT IN POLITICS, Took to Evil Ways and Shady Schemes, Robbed the People by Frauds, and Lost His For- ° tune, Position, Liberty. ee % Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 18~—Obeying the sen- tence and commitment by Judge Grosscup the United State Circult Court, : _Arnold took James 8. McIntyre to the Home for Correction, Detroit, Mich., where he will serve a sentence of one year and pay a fine of $500. r | McIntyre was convicted of using the United States mails to operate a debenture bond business—a sort of lottery scheme— which 1s alleged to have been incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa, by which he succeeded tn defrauding a large number of people throughout neighboring States. This, perchance, ends the career of one of the most remarkable men of the West. He is past @ years of age, grizzled and wrinkled, and hie conviction and sentence fall upon him with crushing force. Until now, despite a. checkered career, he has —lived among the respected and respectable, sustaining touch with some of the most prominent people of the country. During the past year or more he has lived at No. 210 Fifty-fifth street, and is the father of three cultured and interesting daughters, who have spent the most of life in the midst of luxury. Twenty years ago McIntyre was one of the most prominent bankers and politicians of Iowa. He then lived at Clarendon, Con- gressman Hepburn’s home, and it is said that he was largely instrumental in secur- ing his election to his first seat in Congress, In any event, at that time McIntyre’s fol- lowing managed to manipulate and control conventions in that Congressional district, and to defeat him in his home county was nog even considered by his most bitter en- emies. This is evidenced by the fact that he represented his district in the State Sen- ate and House of Rtpresentatives for eigh< teen years, and such men @s Representative Clarkson, Senator Gear, Senator Allison, and Congressman Dave Henderson were de- lighted to extend the glad hand to him. Yet James 8S. McIntyre led a awit ort He amassed several great fortunes, d squandered them, His agent on the Board of Trade of this city manipulated enormous deals for him, and although a poor man one night he was rich the next, calm and dig- nified, however bitter the gtorm through ich he had passed, oo cashier ogre First National Bank of Clarendon, he controlled a princely sum of money, and used it without stint to further the interests of himself and community. But no taint rests upon his name as & banker, Not so, however, a8 @ politician, He used his position for selfish ends; he bartered it, and in the end it lost him everything— position, dit, name. It is said that he was tangled up in every railroad steal known in the State during the years he represented it, either in the House or Sen- ate, but his peculations found him ov, and his constituents retired him to private life hig more er- PPieecining McIntyre then ratic rh : name pessim asse that everybody's hand was atm he copnived toe tear down what had he ped to build up.

The food és fur- nished by contract, and it is the roughest and cheapest to be had, even if it was There are two cooks for from 300 to 400 persons, and they have facilities to cook for only fifty. (Breakfast is served at 7 o'clock.

Then the prisoners are given meat, a little piece that does not make ‘half a dozen mouthfuls for a person with an ordinary appetite.

There is rarely a change of diet, and why the prisoners do not have scurvy I can't unless it is because their friends send or bring them something to eat. “The city has paid for printing these and many more horr:ble details of affairs in the Jail for years, as set forth in my annual Se fms yet no remedy has ever been ap- plied, sca@rceiy an effort at reform.

Russell Insists That He Is Honest and That So Is His Old Friend, McKenna, Notwith- tanding Appearances. George L. Russell and William MeKenna lived high and cheaply d@ring their brief siavy at the Planters’ Hot The etory Of how Rustell worked his way in was partly told in the late editions of the Post Dispatch Wednesday. It is not to be presumed that any and every im- pecunious young man without baggage and in need of shelter and good food will find the hotel so easy to work. Russell had the advantage of having been a guest of the hotel in his’ better days, and he knew the names of pruminent 8t. Louls es oy _—_— WILLIAM M'’KENNA. citizens to refer to, at least one of whom vouched for him He worked the game cteverly, and his story was entirely plausible. His cloth- ing was rain-soaked and soiled. He stated that he had been duck hunting for several days and had fallen in the water. His baggage would follow him and _ he would procure money the next day. Hav- ing given his references, and the fact that he patronized the hotel in May and paid his bill having been verified, Clerk Chidsey decided to take a chance on him and as- signed him to a room. A funny feature of .the incident was in the introduction to the room, on the dead quiet and without formality of registering, of McKenna, The hotel men’s theory is that McKenna was left outside until Rus- sell ascertained that he could work the hotel, Then Russel] watched his oppor- tunity and smuggled his friend up. It is certain® that McKenna got into the room very shortly after Russell was as- signed to it—in time to eat supper with his friend—but the hotel people did not suspect his presence till next day. a Ly _ JACKETS.

RUSSELL. — — At 9:15 Monday evening a call boy re- sponded to the bell, and was given an order for supper fon two. The order was: Blue points Stuffed lobsters. Sirloin steak. Jelly omelet, Potatoes. Coffee. The guests slept late. They did not arise in time for the regular breakfast, but at 11 a, m. the following order for two was served in their room: Preserved fige. Sliced tomatoes—hominy., English mutton chops. poernete Farm sausage. rench fried potatoes—hashe } ° sotinan, } 8—hashed brown po Boiled eggs. Corn cakes—maple syrup—coffee. By this time the fact that one registered “esl Was ordering meals for two ecame nown to the management. They wondered. if the man nad merely an abnormal appe- ite or Whether e , : rts on Mh was entertaining a An investigation revealed the presence of McKenna, who was conc M4 “woe g oncealed in the bath- He was minus al) his clothes and socks. The trousers edly Be ar fashionable cut and texture affected by Pianters’ Hotel guests and the the socks were of coarse cotton and McKenna's toes protruded through gaping holes. Russell's explanation was simple. His friend had been caught tn the same plight as himeelf, and not having the nerve to ask for accommodations for two, without money or baggage, he had smuggled him into his room, intending to pay for everything as Foon as he got money. The men were allowed to remain in the room the rest of that day, and Tuesday night, only their meals were stopped. — Rusrell ingisted that he was traveling for the United States Projectile Metal Compa- ny of Brooklyn, N. Y¥,. and he referred to Charleg Green, John Scullin and Mr. Rock. well of the Suburban Street Rallway, as men who wou'd corroborate his statement. Mr. Rockwell sent a note to the hotel. saying Russel] was all Nght. But when a telegram was received rom the United Projectiio Metal Co., stating that no man named Russell worked for them, the police were called in, and the two men were transferred from downy beds of ease and costly viands to a hard board and bologna sausage at the Four Courta holdover Russell wears as good clothes as the average salesman and taiks well.

Remarkable Success of a New Pile Cure. People who have suffered for years or months from the pain and inconvenience of that common disorder, piles, will look with skepticism upon the claims of the makers of the new discovery for cure of all forms of piles, known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary cures performed by this remedy are such as to warrant the inves- tigation of any sufferer. As a case if point the following letter speaks for itself: Mr. Henry Thomas of sub-station No. 3. Haosack ave., Columbus, Qhio, writes as follows: Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen—lI want you to use my name if it will be of any use to you. I was so bad with the piles that I lost work on that account. Nothing did me any good. I read in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and I went to a drug store and asked for it. The drug clerk told me that he had something else that he thought was better, but I told him that I wanted to try the Pyramid first. The first box helped me so much that 4 tried another, and then to complete the cure used two more boxes, making four in all. I am now completely cured. Have not a trace of piles, and I had suffered for four years with the worst form Of pro- truding piles. | suffered. death from piles, but 1 have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as represented. I have recommended it to several of my friends, and I am thankful to be able to write -you what good the remedy has done for me. Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind, and because it is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless and applied at night. The patient is cured in a surprisingly short time with no inconvenience what- ever. The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, and if there is any constipation it is well to use the Pyramid Pills at the same time with the Pile Cure, as constipation is very often the cause of piles, and the pills effectually remove the costive condition. Price ol Pills is 25 cents per package. Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Albion, Mich., for little book on cause and cure of piles; sent by meat! free | found in the men’s room at the Planters’, They eay they know nothing about it. They were arraigned in the police court Thursday morning on a charge of idling. The cases were continued by the city till Friday. Meanwhile further inquiries will be made concerning them. Charles Sheldon, the robber whose com- anion murdered Policeman Hunt, had on im a watch stolen in Alton. It is re- garded as a coincidence that Russell and McKenna should have came from that town the evening the policeman was murdered. LIVED WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. Clarence K. Jones Arrested in Quincy at His Wife’s Request. The Cc. F. Blanke Tea and Coffee Co. of Seventh street and Clark avenue received a letter Thursday morning from Clarence K. Jones, a traveling representative of the company, resigning his position. He said he was in serious trouble, an account of which, his employers would see in the news- papers. The letter was sent from Quincy, Ill. Jones was arrested in Quincy Tuesday evening, charged with immorality with Mrs. Emma Breden. He spent the night in fail.

Having no relatives but the one family on Dolman street, and no friends upon whom she called, she was comparatively unknown in the neighborhood in which she lived for years, and her appearance on the wrens all overtures of sympathy. Those who know her do not doubt that this double affliction has caused her tem. porary derangement and perhaps her death, “We believe her dead,’ said rae 3, Gempp, her nephew. ‘She has undoubtedly found some obscure nook and taken po:son.

HALFORD IN HARD LUCK _ —_— RELEASED FROM JAIL ONLY TO BE BRUTALLY BEATEN AND ROBBED. IN SIGHT OF THE FOUR COURTS. Texas Race Horse Man Assaulted by ‘Highwaymen and Pounded Into Insensibility. Andrew M. Halford, a race horse man, is After being released from jail Wednesday after a confinement of fifteen months, he was brutally assaulted by three unknown footpads almost within sight of the Four Courts. The robbers were evidently men who knew that Halford had some money coming to him from the Sher- iff’s office and who expected he would have it in his possession when he was released. Halford was arrested in September, 1896, on complaint of a son of Eugene Leizh, then racing at the Fair Grounds, who ac- cused him of stealing $162 from him. He was indicted on a charge of grand larceny and tried three times during the year, each time resulting in a hung jury. After the th rd mietrial the Circuit Attorney entered a nolle prossequl. The $162 which Halford was accuse@ of stealing, and which was found upon him when arrested, is still in the possession of the Sheriff. In his anxiety to secure his freedom, Halford neglected to call for this money when released from jail. He went down town late yesterday after- roon to seé several friends. On his return to Bothman’s Hotel, opposite the Four Courts, at dusk, he was waylaid by two footpads, who assaulted h'm at Tenth apd Walnut streets, and brutally beat him. Halford was not only beaten into insen- sibility, but nearly all h‘s ciothing was stripped from him in a search for the money which it was supposed he had in : The robbers secured onlv their victim bruised and sidewalk, where he fell his possession, 60 cents and left bleeding on the when assaulted. When Halford. recovered consciousness he went to the Four Courts and reported the robbery. He was unable to give any description of his assailants. A MASHER HEAVILY FINED.

She ignored the gesture, purposely blocked her path and made insulting proposal.” 2osenstein summoned an 0officer and Rauch’s arrest followed.

As ge00n as President Fetterlof learned of the accident he issued an order prohibiting all future games. There are nearly 1,500 students in the colllege, and the stoppage of the game has caused great dis- appointment.

During the recent meeting the Philadelphia club directors practically made Irwin a flattering offer, which was promptly declined. Irwin has a good,team, is popular where he is and making plenty of money. Incidentally he Knows what big league managerial frets and worries are.

THE MARKETS. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18. The Liverpool Corn Trade News says: Seedings for the pew wheat crop in Russia are unpromising; Worse than for years. Droughis and lack of seed the cause. The area of the winter wheat is largely increased in Caucasia and in Crimea, and some in- + crease is meres also in Keherson and Beasarabia, but in the Volga districts and in the Central Gov- eromentis the area is less than usual. News from Argentine is again very conflicting. One cable says prospects are excellent, as the ‘Top Wasa benefited by much-needed rains. while others say the surplus has been reduced from 37,- 000,000 to 24,000,000 bu. Reports from Europe in regard to the winter wheat are unusually favorable, from every coun- *. Acteage generally large and in good condi- n. Accordlr to the Chicago Trade Bulletin, tn Man- ftotra $8,350,000 bn of wheat were shipped to Fort William during September and October.

IN THE ‘CASE OF A CONTEST THEY ARE PUBLIC RECORDS. COMMISSIONERS MISTAKEN. Result of the Kelly-Robertson Contest Shows That the Australian Ballot System Is Not Secret, as Was Supposed. | Last fall, just before the election, some uneasiness was felt by men working for others with whom they differed politically, lest théir employers might discover after the election how they voted, and discharge them. , The Election Commiss'‘oners were consult- ed, and said that the Australian ballot sys- tem made this impossible. Wednesday afternoon Election Commis- sioner George W.:‘Jones called at the Circuit Clerk’s office with a large paper parcel which he delivered to Chief Clerk Jeffrey, who gave him a receipt for it. The parcel contained the returns of the Election Commissioners tn the contested election of Willlam C. Kelly against George I’. Robertson, for member of the House of Delegates for the Twenty-sixth Ward. The return filed in th's° case settled the question of the secrecy of the Australian ballot system. Anyone desiring it is furnished with a tabulated etatement showing how every man in the Twenty-sixth Ward voted at the municipal election of April 6, 189%. First there are filed two bunches of sam- ple ballots, marked Exhibt A. B. Cc. and so on clear through the alphabet. These ballots are nicely sorted out and a glance at them shows just how the voter cast his vote. Accompanying these exhibits are pre- cinet lists giving the name and address of each voter in the precinct, with the voting number of hs ballot and the correspond- ing exhibit number. ‘or example, in Precinct Twenty-six of Ward Twenty-six the list beg ns: No. on | : Ballot.; A | B | VOTER. | i? 1 fF.

Reference to exhibit A shows that the three men named voted the straight Demo- cratic ticket without a scratch. The list goes on with the same minute attention to detail, showing unmistakably how every man In the precinct voted. These lHsts and the sample ballots are a matter of public record in the Circuit Court and are acces- sible to anybody. who cares to see them. The work from a clerical standpoint is ex- cellently done, and does great credit to the efficiency of the clerical staff of the Kiection Commissioner's office. ‘This in- formation, of great value to the local poli- ticians, ‘s all got up at the expense of the State, and a contest does not cost the con- lestants a cent except for lawyers’ fees. Inc'dentally, the return in this contest decides in favor of Robertson. “No matter what may be said, our Aus- tralian ballot system is not secret,” said (hainrnan G. W. Jones of the Board of HMlectlon Commissioners. “The Commissioners, I think, are unan- imous in believing ‘that the law should be ®0 amended as to make the ballot secret. This can only be done by amendment’ of the constitution, A legislative enactment cannot accomplish it.’’ WE ARE SELLING BOYS’ SUITS AT VERY LOW PRICES. Our Boys’ Clothing is peculiar.

There were two sults against him in t 16 Circuit Court, one in Judge Withrow's division and one in Judge Klein’s. In the first case a jury had been impanéled and everything was ready for trial. The Frank- lin Bank was the plantiff, claiming that Sicher owed them $1,000 on a note indorsed by the Trorlich, Duncker & Renard Car- pet Co Just as the trial was about to eee Judge Lubke, attorney for the bank, ani Paul H. Bierman, attorney for Sicher, in- formed the court that there was prospect of an immediate settlement. The jury was discharged and the case passed down. iad Thursday morning there was 4 reeg meeting in the jury-room of Judge Klein's court. There were present Mr. Renard of the carpet firm, Judge Lubke and an inti- mate friend of Sicher’s. The friend pro- duced a huge roll of bank notes and count- ed out first $1.000 for the bank's claim and handed the sum to Mr. a gy who counted it over and gave a receipt. Then he counted out $9,982 to satisfy the claim of the Trorlich, Duncker & Renard Carpet Co.
