NEGLECT IN THE MATTER OF EVI- DENCE BROUGHT ABOUT A *-COURT PRECEDENT. HINT OF SCANDAL INVOLVED. Former United States Attorney Who Made the Oversight Is Now Coun- sel for the Carriers in Their Suits, Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1.—Aaron H. Post, a letter carrier of Salt Lake City, re- cently sued the Government under the eight- hour law for overtime. The Government lost through the carelessness by H. M, Foote, former Assistant District Attorney of Utah. An ugly scandal is insinuated because of the | fact that Foote now represents the letter- carriers, In his suit Pest claimed to have worked five hours in delivery and seven in waiting for, receiving and assorting mails. It was the duty of:.the Government’s coun- Fe] to prove that work of assorling mail was clerical labor, but all testimony to that ef- fect was euppressed, and a decision was rendered in favor of Tost. The Government appealed to the United States Supreme Court. It has affirmed the finding of the lower couri, but in the decais- jon intimates that, had the evidence clearly shown that the claimant was employed “as a clerk” during the extra time for whicha charge was made, Section 1,764, Revised Statutes, might have been apnlicable, The suit of Post and the decision of the Supreme Court opened the way for the bringing of suits to collect claims of a sim- liar character, aggregating more than 3 - m000. The Post-office Department had no — | END-OF A BIG. alternative but to accept the decision of the court. A commission was appointed to ex- amine the claims and arrange settlements. It is estimated, according to the present ratio, that the rotal claims allowed wi)!] not fa!) shor: of $3,600 000. By brineg’ng suits in the courts, however. much larger percentages may be recovered, Woereby increasing the ioss to the Govern- ‘aut 1o nearly the %8§8,609000 demanded for Olations of the eighi-hour law. In addition it has been impossible entire- to dispense with the necessity for car- riers working overtime. The amount. of labor thus performed has been minimized, hut there will still be quite an annual out- Jay for such servi This will still further Ty OSs ; ' ' Augment the loss sustained by the Govern- ment 4 .

Wednesday she was seen as usual. That the woman knows she is the object of attention was evidenced by the follow- ing communication recelved by Gustave Brockland, the grocer at 1411 North Tenth @treet: street, Nov. 28: Mr. -Brockiand: Dear Sir-I read in to-day’s Post-Dispatch shout your ¢urlosity to know. who I am.

He says he will know who the woman is in a day or two. He refuses to state how he will find out.

HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS, THE SPORTING GOODS HOUSE PURCHASED BY THE SIM- MONS HARDWARE 00, CONSIDERATION IS PRIVATE. No Reason for the Sale Other Than a Good Price Was Offered—The Store Will Be Cperated by the New Owners, A gray-whiskered little man stood at the front Aoor of the E. C. Meacham Arms Com- pany’s store at 3S North Fourth street Wednesday morning. He had no overcoat and his hands and face were blue with cold, It was 8 o’clock. He had been there an hour. Occasionally he tugged at the big front door which was securely locked. A Post-Dispatch reporter stopped and asked him why the store was closed. “I don’t know,” said the old man, “I work here. The boss told me he was going to sell out, but I didn’t expect the estore to be closed to-day. We usually open at 7 o’clock.”’ Investigation showed that the E. «C. Meacham Arms Co. had sold out, lock, stock and barrel to the Simmons Hardware Co. The deal was eoncluded Tuesday night, The Simmons Hardware Co. acquired the entire stock and the good will of the Meacham company. Neither party would give out the exact terms of the sale. Manager Johnson referred a reporter to President E. N. Beach of the Meacham Arms Co. Mr, Beach said: - ; “The Meacham Arms “Co. will cease to exist. The deal concluded yesterday means practically a consolidation of the firm with the Simmons Hardware Co. I don't mean that either. It was a sale outright. They paid cash for our stock and good will.’’ ‘“‘Was it a sale or a consolidation?’ the reporter. “It was a sale. referring to it a minute ago.’ “Will you retire or connect yourself with the Simmons Hardware Company?’’ “Tt shall remain here until the firm’s af- fairs are wound up. We commence taking stock to-day. This should consume three or four days. After that the Simmons Hard- ware ‘Company will operate this store for a time. How long I cannot say. “The consideration for which we sold our stock is a private matter. I cannot divulge it. I can say we got a good price for our stock.’’ The Meacham Arms Company was one of the largest sporting goods concerns.-in St. Louis, lt was capitalized at $300,000, with 4. N.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.—The furnaces of the Metallurgical Company, Low avenue and Thirty-ninth street, are still in full blast, and Alchemist Brice, the gold hunter, 1s hard at work behind closed doors an barred windows. “The directors of the company,” said Mr, Brice, “have decided that no further infor- imation shall be given out about our factory. ‘We have been ridiculed, but we don’t care for that.’ Mr. Brice spoke with a show of perfect confidence in his invention, and smiled mys- teriously when asked to tell how much go!4d he had made during the past week. ‘You wouldn't believe me if I told you,”’ he eaild. Nor would the public belleve it.’’ Then, as he began to trust in the ereculity of humanity a little more, the great pos- sessor of the gold-laying goose secret said that he was getting greater results as to gold than he had expected. ‘‘This has been noticeable especially to-day,” he_ sald, “when we took out 3,600 pounds.

When asked if they were really making gold, Mr. Brice smiled on the questioner “The best evidence of our suc- cess is that we are running and will con- tinue to run. We didn’t put $25,000 in that plant for pleasure nor before we had proved every step of our way. Our expenses are now $250 a day, and we are running with- out a stop.”’ Nothing could persuade.Mr. Brice to al. vulge the secret of his output.

All members of the ferce are to go out to the pasture once a month and blaze away with their various side ordnance. There are said to be no cows in the pasture. Half of each platoon will practice at a time. If there were cows in the pasture it would be better. In the history of the police department, taken from the log book at the Four Courts, it is set down in varfous handwritings and on sundry occasions that whenever a St. Louis police officer aimed at any sort of a target, he straightway brought down a cow...

COBB’S NEAT PROFIT. HE SOLD AND WILL T. HAARSTICK AND c. H. SPENCER BOUGHT. : THERE IS NO * COMBINE, Mr. Spencer Believes There’s Money in the Cereal and That St. Louis . Will Lead the World , on Exports, A trifle over 1,200,000 bushels of wheat changed hands on the Merchants’ Exchange floor Wednesday morning. It was the first day for delivery on De- eember contracts. Practically the entire stock on hand in the St. Louls elevators was delivered. When the accounts were cast shortly before noon it was found that C. H. Spencer and Will T. Haarstick had captured most of the grain. The entire stock deliverable on December contracts amounted to 1,266,000 bushels. Only a few contracts were open when deliveries closed for the day at 11:30 o’clock. Considering that it was delivery day ex- _citement was not high. The opening hours were dull.’ There was little trading and at times the pit was deserted. May opened slightly stronger at 93%c and December was around 97c. There were apparently no shorts, as there was no rush-té buy De- cember at the last moment, The impression that many December deals had been switched to the May option caused several traders to predict that deliveries would be light, possibly not more than 250,- 000 bushels. They argued that holders hav- ing until December 31 to make deliveries would retain their stocks and pay carrying charges partly as a speculation and partly to stave off a rumored attempt on the part of some of the big traders to run a corner. When the ‘“‘boys” representing the leading grain houses got tégether it soon became apparent that these calculations were un- founded. Holders delivered right up to the dot. If there were any shorts they were not in the “‘ring’’ Wednesday morning. The deliveries represented an actual exchange of wheat. Seth ‘W. Cobb’s representation made most of the deliveries. Spencer’s and Haarstick’s men were on the “end,” which means they took most of Mr. Cobb’s big stock. As matters stand Seth W. Cobb made the most money out of the deal. He sold most of the wheat around $1 a bushel. The option could be bought for Sic at Wednesday. This meant a profit of 3c a bushel], or $30,000 on a 1,000,000 bushel lot. Theoretically Messrs. Spencer and Haars- and are in a position to control the local market for a time. “T am getting hold can because I think profit. I don't Know how much money there will be in it,” said C. H. Spencer. “The talk of a corner is absurd. There is no such thing as a Spencer-Haarstick com- bine. I am buying because I believe local conditions and the foreign demand warrant it. Wheat around the present prices is the cheapest commodity on earth. What I will do with my holdings remains to be seen. St. Louls is In a position to lead the world as an exporting point. In a short time the lakes will be frozen and Chicago will be shut off from Europe.” Mr. Spencer’s statement as to Chicago's position was borne out by advices from there Wednesday morning. One telegram stated that toward the close of the delivery hour on the Chicago Exchange only 25,000 bushels of wheat had been delivered. MR.

THE LEASE SOMEWHAT VAGUE. WILL THE HOME GET THE GOL~ DEN SHOWER IF IT , REALLY FALLS? BANNERMAN IS WATCHFUL. ¥ -” Will See What’s Behind a Proposition to Pay Only Fifty. Cents a Ton “8 Royalty to the Board of Trustees. j — A scheme is alleged to be on foot by which valuable asphalt beds discovered on the grounds of the Confederate Home at Higginsville, Mo., are to be turned over to a syndicate for a song. The Board of Managers of the Home meet on Dec. 5, and it is expected the proposi- tion to lease the mineral rights will go through, unless the trustees are put on their guard and investigate before acting hastily. Commissioner Holman is home from Europe, an asphalt pavement expert. That the mineral discoveries are valuable is attested by the fact that three proposi- tions to lease them have been received by the Board of Managers. One of these is from a large contractor named Sanderson of Moberly, Mo., another from a Kansas City man, and the third from L, Kreickhaus of St. Louis, It is understood that Mr. Kreickhaus rep- resents W. S. Forman of East St. Louls, who is the reputed head of a syndicate in which C. C, Branson, L. Kreickhaus and Newton Evans are said to be interested, Speed Stephens, brother of the Governor, has usually accompanied Mr. Forman in visits to the city in furtherance of the syndicate’s plans, but it is not knows whether or not he ia interested. The asphalt beds are said to be very @ich and there is also thought to be coal an oll In paying quantities. Yet while the State Geologist has tested specimens of as- phalt submitted, and Attorney-General Crow has given an rn touching the right of the Board of Managers to iease the grounds, no word either of the discov- eries, or the proposition to lease the min- ea rights, has been made public hereto- ore. And the proposition to lease these rights is fora royalty of only W centsa ton. Noth. ing is said of asphalt. It is covered by the general term ‘“‘mineral rights.’ Maybe the trustees and the ladies who have worked so hard for the home are not aware that either asphalt or any other mineral has been dis- covered in paying quantities. The only asphalt found in the United States in quantities making its mining Sloane rene comes from Utah and Indian erritory. It has to be hauleg 100 miles by wagon and from the point thus reached shipped east by freight. The freight charges alone amount to rrom $1l4 to $18 a ton, besides which and the cost of getting it out a royalty has to be paid on every ton shipped, The value of the find at Higginsville 1 it is as rich as reported, can be estimated by the difference in freight charges alone. To St. Louis it could be freighted at $2 @ ton or even less, } | The windows of the German Theater, Ger- schools, restaurants, residences and newspaper offices were broken.

Refined asphalt sells on the market at from $48 to a ton. Rock asphalt is worth from $16 to $20 a ton. It is said that the newly discovered as- phalt beds at Higginsville are s@ rich that the mineral shows on the eurface. Surface ore can be picked up, boiled. and the as- phalt rises to the top, the sand sinking to the bottom of the vessel. To wha: depth the asphalt at the home goes has not been ascertatned. If the beds are as rich as stated it is esti. mated that the royalty should be at lease $10 a ton, instead of 50 cents. On a bas‘s of $10 a ton, it is estimated that the twenty acres of Home grounds sought to be lease] should be worth $10,000 an acre in royalties, The scheme to lease the groupds at cents an acre was or a year ago, and it is said the last President of the Hoard of Trustees had signed the lease, subject to approval of the Board. The bill was then pending in the Legislature, turning over the Home to the State, and such being the the case the Board of Managers refused to agree to any arrangement disposing of any rights to the grounds while that bill was pending. By that bill the State agreed to give $12,000 a year to the support of the Home for twenty years, the State to acquire it at the end of that time, when presumably no veterans will be surviving, or at least not enough to justify keeping up the Home. The present Board of Managers is as fole- lows: James Bannerman, St. Louls, prest- dent: H. A. Newman, Huntsville, secretary; nn. F. Murdock, Platte City, treasurer; RB. (, Jones, Poplar Bluff: F. L.

Her relatives refused to sanction their wedding because of the youth of the girl. Love, as usual, found the way. An elope- ment was planned and carried out. To this couple also a daughter was born, and an estrangement followed, the husband and wife separating. This was the romance of the mother.

Shortly afterward the Countess came to Janesville, where her relatives live. Last night she eloped with Tetzlaaf, who did chores for his board at the home of R. Qualentine.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IL, Dec. 1.—The trial of James Mingle for the murder of his baby and attempted murder of his mistress, Mary Briscoe, began to-day in the Circujt Court. The deed was particularly atrocious, and Mingle was in danger of lyncging as soon as captured. The murder wag actuated by Mary Briscoe’s refusal to longer live with Mingle. He threatened opéniy to kill the woman and child, and they were both ai- tacked while they slept. Mingle spent the previous night in carousal at a river camp. The instrument used was a hatchet, the ba- by’s head being split open. The woman was cruelly wounded by blows and cuts which exposed the brain, and she has not yet fully recovered. The testimony against Mingle is circumstantial, as the woean was asleep when attacked. A special ventre of jurors has been summoned, and some trouble is anticipated in the selection of a jury, as the feeling against the culprit has not greatly abated. GAVE HIM THE LIMIT. “Barker” for a Morgan Street Store Sent to the Work-House. Herman Guinsberg has a stentorian voice. Several weeks ago he hired his voice to the Goldwasser Clothing Co. on Morgan street, near Seventh. He stood in front of the Store and invited people to come in and buy. Sometimes his invitations were press- ing. But Herman lost his job. Wednesday morning he was sentenced to the Work-house for a year by Judge Mur- phy, on the charge of aseault and battery. And here is how it happened: About ten days ago, s0 the evidence showed, Thomas Sexton of 619 Morgan street, passed Goldwasser’s store. Guins- berg asked him to buy. Sexton refused. A quarrel followed and it ended by Guinsberg knocking Sexton to the ground. Judge Murphy said he thought the limit of the law would be about right, and that is how Herman Guinsberg is at the Work- house for a year. Judge Murphy’s action is interpreted to mean a knockout blow against the stores that employ “ropers."’ A CHARMING RECEPTION.

Tvler, who recently. died. He paid great attention to Miss Lester and they finally became engaged. The giris’ parents opposed the match, but she was determined to have Mitkiewicz, and they were married in 1874. Their mar- ried life was not happy, and in 1880 they separated. The wife died*a few years later, leaving two children, who were taken by the Lesters. ; Finding later that the children were heirs to some properly, Mitkiewicz entered the courts and succeeded in being appointed their guardian. After engaging in the coal business in Baltimore and failing, and narrowly escap- ing prison for obtaining money under false pretenses, Mitkiewicz went to China and returned to Washington in September, 1897, prepared for the master-stroke of his checkered career. He said he had obtained from the Chi- nese Government, through Li Hung Chang, then Prime Minister, concessions which would enable thim to carry on a general banking business in China and operate rail- road, telegraph and telephone lines besides. The capital required, he eaid, was $25,000,- x), half of which had been subseribed in China. The rest he wanted to raise here. Ail that was needed was to obtain the sizg- = of the Chinese Minister in Washing- on. Mitkiewicz found men who had money who were ready to back him, among them Whurton Baker of Philadelphia and other prominent men in the Quaker City, and it was claimed that the late Coi. Elliott F. Shepard was an investor, but he denied this, tlowever, the signature of the Chinese Minister was never obtained, and for while the scheme was dropped. But in 1891 Mit- kiewicz revived it and this time tried to ger i. J. O’Brien of the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald for $10,000. Incidentally he tried Joseph R. Gamble, a banker; R. J. Horner, a furniture dealer, and several others, and With more or less success. At this time the “Count” associated with him the famous “Shoebox” Miller a former convict, who won his name by escaping from & penitentiary in a shoebox. Then came a bombshell in the shape of a statement from Mr. Ho, then interpreter of the Chinese Legation in Washington, that Mitkiewicz was a fraud, and that he never had any concessions from the Chinese Gov- etnment,. It was said that Li Hung Chang favored him, but that the Imperial Council wouldn’t listen to the scheme at all. Phen the men who had given Mitkiewicz money began to gather around him like vul- tures. He was sued and arrested—and es- caped scot free. Some interesting things were brought out at the trials, It was claimed that the Chi- nese Minister, Tsui Kwo Yin, and former Senator Henry W.

JUDGE HIRZEL FORCES THE DE- FENSE UP TO THE RACK ONCE MORE. THE CORONER'S TESTIMONY. Says Under Cross-Examination That He Firmly Believes Michael Dous- sett of St. Louis County Was Foully Murdered. Attorney Zach Mitchell made an ineffec- tual effort Wednesday to secure another de- lay in the case of August Genar, on trial at Clayton for the murder of Michael Dous- sett. . Judge Hirzel promptiy overruled a care- fully prepared motion setting forth a long list of objections to the jury. Getting this jury has occasioned a number of lengthy delays and cost the State a pretty penny. Mr. Mitchell came early to the front with his objections to Sheriff Kerth summoning the panel, as he had helped get the evidence against Genar and was to be used as a State’s witness. Coroner Rouse was ex- empted from duty for a like reason. The court appointed William Barron to eum- mon the venire, Much time was spent in examination be- fore forty men were found competent. Wednesday morning Attorney Mitchell filed a motion to quash the whole proceeding mainly because the talesmen had not been selected from all over the county, but had been picked up in Carondelet, Bonhomme and-St. Ferdinand townships to the ex- clusion of other townships, and had been mostly taken from villages instead of from the townships outside of corporated towns. Judge Hirzel thought the objection too trivial to cause another long hunt for jur- ors and opdéred the case to go to trial, Genar and his alleged victim were em- ployed prior to June 2, 1897, on the farm of Frank Berrioz, near Clayton. That evening the two started for the county seat. ‘The next morning Doussett’s mutilated body was found near Fargo ste.:0n om the K. C., & €. Railway. It was at first thought to be an accident, but investigation disclosed that he had been murdered and that Genar, his countryman and most intimate aS80- ciate, had left the county. Several weeks later Genar was captured in Louisiana and returned to Clayton. His trial at the May term of the Circuit Court resulted in a hung jury. Genar was apparently the least flustered person in the crowded court-room Wednes- day. He was neatly clad with-a light checked tie. He faced the jury, at the side of his counsel, and a smile that was more than half sneer played over his pale, clean-shaven face, Whenever Pros- ecuting Attorney Heidorn, in his opening speech to the jury, callled the jury’s atten- tion to the defendant, Genar would meet the prosecutor’s Keen eye with a look de- fiant and contemptuous, Mr. Heidorn discussed the State's posi- tion but briefly. He made a clear, concise statement of the case and attempted no oratory. The coming of the two men from Louisi- ana to St. Louis County, and their subse- quent occupation near Drew Station, was reviewed. The night trip to Clayton, the finding of the disfigured corpse, the flight and capture of the defendant were simply told, much the same as the Post-Dispatch has related them. : Col. Mitchell devoted the main port} of his time to explaining the sudden tee of his client to Louisiana just at the time the body was found. He said the ae fense would prove that Genar and Doussett had decided to return South, and that h's client after quarreling with. Doussett and leaving him near Fargo, returned to Drew and are. pared to have immediately for New Orleans He had quarreled with his best friend, had left him alive and in health, and departed ova bdo ol him.

ALLEGED MOONSHINER IS AT LAST BEHIND THE BARS IN THE ST. LOUIS JAIL. BROUGHT FROM TEXAS COUNTY. Magnificent Specimen of the Back- woodsman and Said to Be the Last of the Renfro and Wheeler Gang. Pleas Groce, a clad backwoodsman, was arrested in Texas County, Mo., and is now a United States prisoner in the St. Louis Jail. He is charged with manufacturing moon- shine whisky, and though he has been under indictment for two years, and hag twice been arrested by Deputy United States Mar- shals, he managed to escape each time, and was never lodged behind the bars until now. Marshal Lynch’s men say Groce is the last of the famous Renfro gang, and Wheel- er gang, who operated so extensively in Southeast Missouri a few years ago. Nearly two years ago Groce was arrested by Deputy Marshal Quayle. The alleged moonshiner was riding through the woods on horseback, when Quayle overtook and surprised him. The officer had a drawn revolver and covering Groce with it com- manded him to surrender. Groce complied gracefully and suffered himself to be searched and relieved of his weapons with- out objection. He offered to accompany the Marshal and rode quietly by his side. They had gone sev- eral miles along a country road, conversing leasantly, when they met Groce'’s wife. They drew rein and Groce asked permission to bid his wife good-by. The request was eheerfully granted. He managed to get his wife’s horse between him and Quayle. Then he suddenly plunged his spurs into his horse’s flanks and rode rapidly away. Quayle shouted to him to halt, but Grocé only rode the faster. Then the officer fired several shots &fter him, but without effect. In June, 1896, Deputy. Marshal Snyder ar- rested Groce on his farm near ouston. He caught Groce unawares and disarmed him. Groce was accompanying him, ap- parently, willingly across a corn field. e was watching his opportunity, and sud- denly made a dash for liberty and escaped. Since then nearly every marshal on Mr. Lynch's staff has taken a turn at finding Groce, but he eluded them all. A few days ago yroce wrote Deputy Marshal Brown at Springfield that he was tired dodging off:cers and he would be at home if they wanted him. True to his word he was home when Brown arrived and accompanied the officer to St. Louis. Groce denies being a’ moonshiner. He says he knew Renfro and Wheeler and went fishing with them once. That is all the connection he had with them. Nearly two years ago Deputy Marshals E. J. Brennan and Quayle discovered the Renfro still and destroyed it, but the oper- ators escaped. Groce in appearance is the ideal moon- shiner. He is more than 6 feet tall, weighs more than 200 pounds, and is strong as an ox. He has a full brown beard, thick and matted. His clothing is rough and he wears a broad-brimmed whtlte hat. o-—_-_+—. ‘ for $25,000. James M. McCowan, Garnett W.

MISS LA TOUR DOES VERY WELL Last Night She Kept Right up With the Best of the World’s Champion Riders. The “cyclennes” in their twelve-hour race in the bie Coliseum d‘d some pretty riding last night. Again a record was broken and this tome the night’s racing was conducted without a gingle accident. The surprise last night was the showing “nade by Miss La Tour, the St. Louis girl. she kept right up with the big four and that the work did not hurt her was proven at the end, when she went out and set the | pace for the others. She was cheered again nd again for her plucky showing. Miss Williams, who received a heavy fall che first night, was evidently suffering, as ia result of it, as last night she dropped sack to last place and during the race she was forced to stop twice and take a short ~est, The “big four,” Anderson, Farnsworth, Glaw and Peterson, rode as brilllantly and i he as much dash as they did the night fore, Miss Anderson lowered Miss Glaw’s record or three hours’ riding by two miles and six ‘aps. Miss Glaw’s record was sixty-one and a half miles, made at Chicago, March 16, 1897. For the four hours Miss Farnsworth eclipsed Miss Glaw’s record of eighty-one miles by three miles and two laps.\ Pretty soon Miss Anderson will be known as the champion and Miss Glaw, the_ present holder of that title, will have to take a back seat, ‘ At the close last night Miss Farnsworth was in the lead, with Miss Anderson close behind her, and Peterson and Glaw locked and close to Anderson's wheel, The figures below tell the rest: t Score for first three hours: Miss Anderson .resccecsccoccesesess Miss Farnsworth eee wee eee mae wee eeee Glaw eee eeSebeeesccececsedoerss Peterson Fiering ee ee a Wiliams ee ee ee ee el Miss La Tour cccosesccesss Miss Drehmel Score for first four hours: Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Laps. 1 Miles.

And It Looks as Though the Baltimore Track Managers Were Going to Defy the Jockey Club. | There is gcing to be trouble in racing circles, and a whole lot-of it. And the trouble is going to come from to-day’s action of the Pimlico Jockey Club of Baltimore, : The entries are out this morning for the races to-day at Pimlico, and it looks as though the owners of the Baltimore track were going to keep on racing despite the most stringent rule of the Turf Congress and Jockey Club, To race to-day means that Pimlico, one of the best-known and thought-of tracks in America, Is to join the outlaw ranks. The fact that the entries are out for to- day’s racing there means that the Pimlico managers are going ahead despite Jockey Club, Turf Congress laws and everything else. The regular racing season east of the Rocky Mountains and north of the thirty-fifth degree of latitude ended yester- day,*for the rules of both the Jockey Club and the Turf Congress would outlaw any horse that should take part ina race with- in these limits during the months of De- cember, January or February.

That Is About the Way the Two Heavyweights Looked When in the Ring. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.—All San Fran- cisco ts talking this morning about last night’s fight between Joe Choynski of San Francisco and Jim Jeffries of Los Angeles. Fully 6,000 people saw the battle and saw ' Choynski fight a man weighing fifty more pounds than himself to a standstill. At the end of the twentieth round the referee declared the fight a draw. Choynski fought against great odds and fought well. After this few will dispute Jeffries’ claim to be considered as a possibility for the world’s championship. He is a_ clever boxer, and while little more than a novice, he fairly puzzled a man who, while young in years, is a veteran at fisticuffs. : If any mistake was made in Choynski'’s corner it was f!n not allowing Joe to go at h's big vis-a-vis* more at the start. Jeffries was detidedly rattled when he entered the ring, and it was not until several rounds had elapsed that he regained his natural color and began to fight with confidence, Possibly the idea of going such a celebrity as Joe Choynski had this disturbing effect. Once Jeffries did extend himself, there were no signs of white feather about him. Choynski covered himself with glory and has never shown up to such advantage. He is as clever and ag quick as ever, and last | night he fought the first calculating battle he has ever been mixed up in. Contrary to ‘his general tactics he was not reckless for |@ minute, and every round showed that he was feeling his man’s powers like a past | master. A noticeable change in his work is the d'fference in his guard and attack. He fought Jeffries with his body well open and faced him almost squarely in the Aus- tralian style. Since he met Billy Woods in this city in 1891 and knocked him out, Cho- ynski has not fought se long or so ‘well aa he d'd last night. The fact that he was inot the aggressor, probably considered by MacDonaid when he rendered his decision, ought not to have counted against him, for the reason that with a fifty-pound disad- vantage in weight, it was the best kind of generalship to keep away from the rushes and to duck. Choynski’s ducking was superb, and his splendid work in th's direction culminated and brought down the house in the six- teenth. He fiddled and allowed Jeffries to force him into his own corner. and the big fellow, belleving that he had his oppor- tunity at close quarters, jammed him against the catile in a give-eand-take struggle. Choynskf caught the big fellow four smashing lefts in the jaw, ducked a terrific amine of Jeffries, which threw the Los Angeles boy against the ropes, and then flew in with his right on the side of the head, the only time that he used iteffectively in the whole fight. Several other times he wriggled out of a hot situation by his clever foot work, and during the last ten rounds particularly he stopped several mean lefts by throwing his wd across Jeffries’ arm, The men fought at 170 and 220 pounds re- spectively. THE COLONEL AND THE PARSON. They Gave Young Griffo “Shoo-Fly” and Then Shipped Him West. They are fiaving a whole lot of fun in Chicago now over the announcement re- cently made that young Griffo, who has just wound up from a bad spree, had signed the pledge. But now that the secret has | leaked out and Griffo ts almost at ’Frisco it is safe to say the Australian will not touch i liquor for some time to come. Davies is the Chicago representative young Mitchell, who manages a boxing club at San Francisco, and it was through Da- vies that Mitchell arranged to have Griffo come to the coast and meet Kid Lavigne in a contest on the coast which is to take place next month The prtospects seemed rosy and all arrangements Went on smooth- ily, and the “Parson” in due time received Griffo’s railroad ticket. When Davies went ' looking for Griffo, however, he found that ‘individual in such a state that the couid not induce him to start to the coast, and the antipodean wouid not even consent to go to sleep at some hotel, where he would be able to sleep off the effects of the liquor that he had imbibed. entered Col, a mind. The Colonel left Griffo and Davies together, while he sneaked off to a neighboring drug store, where he procured what he calls ‘‘Ahoo-fly.”’ When he returned he gave the “Parson” a knowing wink as he handed the bar boy the vial and instructed him in the uee of it. Then Col. Hopkins ordered a “gin fizz” all around. The bartender by mistake inter- mixed the drug that the colonel had procufed in all three drinks, instead of ‘‘fixing’’ inno- cent Griffo’s drink and letting the others alone. When Col. Hopkins raised his drink ‘to his lips, however, he smelled a rat and . Set the drink down with the remark that his favorite had not been mixed right, and he ordered another and the “‘Parson” followed suit. Griffo, however, tasted his mixture and exclaimed that it was just about nis ‘“‘stvle,” at the same time disposing of the entire concoction. In about five minutes by the conspirators that nothing but his Signing of a pledge to abstain from all li- quof_for one year could save him from death the frightened boxer refused to wait for the cab that had been ordered to convey him to a priest, but instead ran all the way to the nearest church, where he immedi- ately “signed,” and now ‘the conspirators are wondering what Griffo will say when he arrives at ’Frisco and finds out that he hag been duped, : For Coughs, Hoarseness and Throat Disorders use ‘“‘Brown’s Bronchial Troches.”’ They have proved their efficacy by a test of many years.

The attendance at the Copeland of- fices in November doubled even that of October, and at the close of the month came again the inevitable culmination and crisis, a flood tide and flood pressure of be- lated importunates that brought a second emergency when “‘something must be done.” There were the usual pleas for a few days’ grace in letters from patients Nving out of the city, the usual pleas for a few days or a few weeks’ extension of the opportunity in letters from patients living in the city, who could not reach the offices; the usual pleas in personal visitation of friends who wanted to bring other friends or relatives. It was the second time that it haa oc- curred that the popularity of the $ oppor- tunity nearly defeated its own ends. So great was the number of applicants that the purpose of the offer was sadly inter- fered with. Only a small proportion could be eared for. The plan to give all who de- sired and who wished an opportunity to be treated under this rate, was in a word simply Defeated by Its Very Popularity. Doctor Copeland is determined that the purpose of the rate shall not be ultimately defeated. In response to personal requests to extend the rate, Doctor Copeland said: “T will do better than your request. You ask for a few days or a few weeks, I will give you a full month. The holidays are coming on, and it is time to be generous and gracious and kindly; to bear good will to all mankind; to say God bless you and to mean it. You have asked for a few days extension, I will extend the rate until the end of the year. It cannot be said then that there is not abundant time.”’ Astonished himself by the situation, Doc- tor Copeland felt the giving of a few days of grace or the extens.on of a. week would seem like a purely business matter. He could not make the concession grudgingly, sparingly or penuriously. He could not deal out benevolence as we deal out tobacco or calico by pennyweight or inch measure, so he has given the benefit of the rate to the Ist of January, plenty of time, to an- swer every appgal and request that can be niade. It is indeed a genuine spirit of good will to all the world that inspired this movement for extending the benefits of the Copeland system to those unable to pay the regular fees. But as the crowding of the offices the last day of the period and the shutting out half or three-fourths of the applicants under the opportunity has heretofore twice almost defeated the purpose for which the rate was given, Doctor Copeland accom- paniee this announcement of the last and absolutely final extension with this two-fold message: First. That this is absolutely and dis- tinetly the last opportunity under the §5 rate; that it will under no circumstances or -. no condition be extended after January Second. That it is respectfully requested that those desiring to take advantage of the opportunity co-operate with Doctor Cope- land by doing so early in the period. He is glad to have all take advantage of the op- portunity that wish, but he does not want them at the Eleventh Hour. This request is made to obviate the crowding of the offices the last few days of the month, and the con- sequent crowding or shutting out of hun- dreds who have taken the time and pains to respond. Doctor Copelafd will be grateful to those patients who wish to take advantage of the opportunity if they will co-operate with him in this respect.

SUHLES WANTS. \ NEW TRAL His Attorney Percival Adams, Filesthe Customary Motion. TWELVE ~ REASONS ~ GIVEN. ‘JUDGE ZACHRITZ WILL PROBA- BLY PASS UPIN THE MAT- TER THAIS WEEK. NEW TESTIMONY IS IN STORE. Lawyer Says He Has Witnesses to Strengthen the Alibi, and He Thinks His Client May Get Another Chance, Janies Scales, the negro convicted, of as- guiting Katherine Fisse, is not sAtisfled jth the ninety-nine year penitentiary sen- nee imposed by the jury which passed on his case, “3vInesday noon his attorney, Percival yp? ms, filed a motion for a new trial for wiles. pudge Zachritz will probably pass on the ,otion before the end of this week. she chief allegation set forth in the mo- on {is that new evidence has keen dis- overed. Wasked about dams said: f*'We have found competent witnesses who #ll materially strengthen our alibi. We gil certainly make a strane defense next rh ] believe a new trial will be granted.”’ he points set forth in Mr. Adams’ motion fe as follows: Tirst—Because the verdict is against the ‘idence, the weight of evidence and the the new evidence, Mr. Becond—Recause the eourt erred in ad- tting incompetent and illegal testimony fered on behalf of the State, 1ely objection of the defendant. hird—Because the court erred in exclud- competent and legal testimony offered behalf of the defendant. fourth—Because the court erred in mis- over the cs eiediielieesiee eee a he WEDNESDAY—ST, LOUIS POST-DIF —-F -——— ——_ ecting the jury In a material matter of wv Fifth—Baecause the cour erred in failing to instruct the jury in all questions of law arising out of thé evidence, and necessary for a just and proper determination of the e. Sixth—Becyose the court erred in failing to instruct the jury upon the law of rape. Seventh--Because of other errors upon the trial appa@rent of record. Eighta—Because the discovery of new evidemce not known to the defendant upon the ‘rial of the cause, which evidence is not, cumulative and which if presented, to the jury would have caused a different Ver- ict. Ninth—Because of the closing remarks to the jury by the Circuit Attorney, Theodore Eggers, to the effect that “it is the duty of every man who loves his home and family and who loves those who are near and dear to them to stamp out crime of every kind and get (their) your sea) of condemnation upon it, and if you do that the mothers throughout the land will applaud your act, and wit applaud it as one of righteous- ness, of justice and of a duty that is well done," which said remarks were calculated to, and did inflame the minds of the jury against the defendant. _Tenth—Because of the evidence of Judge Fisse, wherein he expressed the opinion that James Scales was the man who assaulted his daughter, Katherin Fisse, and used the language which is on record, which ex- pregeee an opinign to the. like import or ect. Eleventh—Because the State, without no- tice to the defendant and without indorsing the name on the back of the indictment, and without placing the name of the witness on the list of witnesses served on defend- ant, introduced one Grogan, as a witness for the State, thus taking the defendant by surprise. Twelfth—Because one of the counselors for the State, in hie closing argument, used language which was not warranted by the evidence, and which was calculated to, and did arouge prejudice in the minds of the jury against the defendant as a negro, and thus prevented the jury from giving the defendant a fair and tmpartial trial.

Came Back From Chicago Wearing Diamonds and a. Watch Worth $800 and Swell Garb, — Hattie Casey, colored, keeper of a room- ing-house at 213 North Fifteenth street, and her mother, Milly, are locked up at the Four Courts suspected of being implicated in robbing William Johnson of Cape Gir- ardeau, Mo., of $1,000. Henry Rederer, the Casey woman’s lover, was arrested Wednes- day morning. He wore an overcoat and suit of clothes of elegant material and wokmanship. In his shirt front and on his. hand were diamonds. A gold watch and chain were worn. Chief Desmond estimated Reéderer’s jewelry dis- play at $800 cost value. The Chief put it in the safa S William Johnson met a white woman Saturday evening near the Union Station, and &ecompanied her to the Casey woman's hovse. When he left ten $100 bills were missing from his inside pocket, The police came to his rescue. Hattie Casey states that Nellie Burton and Hattie Brooks, both white, robbed the man by means of the panel game. The Burton woman roomed at the house. The Casey woman told Capt. O’Malley that Nellie Burton told her of the robbery and told her te meet her at a house on Col- linsville avenue in East St. Louis Tuesday and she would divide the money.

The Casey woman thinks that both girls fled to Chicago Tuesday night. The police are working on the theory that Henry Rederer, acting for the Casey woman, fol- lowed the alleged panel workers to Chicago and there made them disgorge. ; Her picture was taken for the Rogues Gallery Wednesday, and she was put through the Bertillon system, LINDELL FRANCHISE GRAB.

Allen, assistant general manager of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway, was on the docket in Judge Murphy’s court Wednesday. The case was continued to December 15. Matthew M. Kelly, formerly a passenger conductor in the employ of the M., K, & T., is the complainant, Conductor Kelly was discharged from the service of the company and he alleges that he was blacklisted. A warrant was istued against Aseistant General Manager Allen April 29 of this year. The case has dragged along in Judge Mur- phy’s court without coming to trial. First one excuse and then another has been of- fered as grounds for continuance, In nearly every instance on the dayg set for the trial, George P. B. Jackson, counsel for the defendant, has had a rush of busi- ness with the Supreme Court at Washing- Pton City. . E. F.,Stone_ is special counsel for the prosecution, He appeared in court Wednes- day and agreed to a continuance to Dec, 15. “Then the case must go to trial,” says Mr. Stone. Manager Allen’s lawyer is now said to be in Washington. Attorney Stone was the only interested party present, In view of recent decisions in the civil courts in favor of plaintiffs in blacklisting cases, the result of Manager Allen’s casé is awaited with interest. If Conductor Kelly succeeds in getting a verdict against Manager Allen in the Court of Criminal Correction, it is expected that he will at once institute civil suit for damages, SAFE iN PORT, The Overdue Steamers ‘Bulgaria and Amazon Arrive.

Ti Sets Other Wits Flowing and Brings Out Mr. Parsons as a Se:- ond Depew. The forty-sixth annual banquet of the Caledonian Society, given at the Planters Hotel, Tuesday, night, more than met the expectation that it would surpass its prede- | the delicacy of .tS menu, the brilliancy of its oratory and the social prominence of its guests. The Caledonians have had many a delightful annual meet- ing, but none that equaled that of the year JS, Promptly at 8 o’clock the guests formed In line amid the beautiful foliage of the hotel foyers, and headed by Alex. Robert- gon, the piper, marched into the banquet hall. The tables, laid in the shape of an Ml, were handsomely decorated. More than 10) persons occupied seats and participated wramme. mW ynen the yiper had ceased his playing, Ttev. Dr. ae for a prayer, repeated a Su})- ication from Burns and then the dinner Taend. Between. each course the piper arched round the tables, playing the bag- pipes, and the event of the evening came on with the introduction of the haggis, which is the national pudding of Scotiand. "here Was 2 moment “egfrregoog! - ee re own open, and in: waicel a pro- = eo tga centtarte each third or fourth vaiter bearing a salver of smoking T.ot raggis. Mr. Robertson, the piper in the jee d, played the soul-stirring tune of Loch of the North,” —e the guests clayped their ands and shouted. nthe menu was finished witn hot Scotches and cigars. Aiter that came the speeches— and more hot Scotches. oF President D. Crawford, at the call of Vice fP-esident J. W. ick. delivered tue intro- ductory address. He never before had such én ovation pcpular-as he is There was sich hand-c'spping and cheers, ihat re se into shouts of enthusiastic please ana several min il.es passed befors he could pro- ceol with his speech. “In heayen itself,” he said, quoting from another, “I'll .ask no more than just a ighland welcome.’ S then he traced, in elegant diction and apt quotations, the history of the Caledon- jan Society, and the great good work it fias accomplished in helping the poor or needy Scotchmen who occasionally require the help of their countrymen. He was frp- quently interrupted ‘by applause and at the conclusion of his eloquent address he received another hearty ovation. A quartette, composed of Messrs. Charles Metcalf, G. H. Bahrenburg, W. M. Porteous and H. F. Niedringhaus, Jr., sang Blue Bells of Scotland,” with conspicuous appre- ‘lation. 25 Dr. Boyd, responding to the toast of “Scotland,” first paid a compliment to President Crawford and then spoke of the ‘distinct and intense nationality of the Seats, saying that “‘no nation ever had a sterner war to wage for human freedom, or ever endured severer privations and suf- ferings in the contest, or contended with more crafty and inplacable foes from within and without. And yet, despite all opposing forces. the brav® Scots fought on and ever until they triumphed.” WW. M. Porteous sang “Scotland Yet,’’ and in response to an enthusiastic encore gave “Seots Who Hae Wie Wallace Bled.” Judge Selden P. Spencer responded to the toast ‘“‘America,”’ epeaking in stirring words of the mingled patriotism of Scotland and of the people of thts country. Ex.-Gov. David R. Francis, speaking to the toast “President of the United States,” said the presidency was the highest honor in the power of man to bestow and that every American owed the President true allegiance, no matter what his political be- liefs might be. He thought character more needful ina President than genius, and that he must have the courage of his convictions. He paid a deserved tribute to the loyalty of Scots in America. Western Bascome, the British Consular gent, responded to ‘the toast ‘“‘Queen of Great Britain.”” He was particularly happy in his tracery of Victoria’s reign and in his praise of her womanly virtues. a Wayman McCreery sang “Loch Lomond, which was received with much handclapping d shouts of approval. ee or Pa reona met the toast ‘‘Missouri’’ with a speech so full of earnestness and power that the guests were surprised and pleased. Everybody knows Mr. Parsons as a straightforward epeaker, but his elo- quence was never so well manifested, But, owing to the lateness of the hour, he cut his speech rather short with a description of a tour of Seotiand he made forty yeurs ngo and closed with a toast to Scotland, the wome of Black Deuglas, Burns and Scott, Which wae received with cheers, Mayor Ziegenhein answered the _ toast “St. Louis,”’ and when he rose to respond the guests broke forth in the song ‘For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” Uncle Henry got a royal reception, He said he was age of the great city of St. Lou Ss. where- n he had been born and bred. It was what the people had made it, and within its gates those of all nations could live at peace wnder one flag. Dr. Emil Preetorius responded to the toast “The Press;’’ J. A. Graham to ‘The Lassies,”’ and John F. Lee to “Our Guests.” All ahree were brief, but apt, interesting and humorous.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. — | Mr. McMath Says They Point to Mu- nicipal Control of Public Serv- ing Corporations. Those who believe in the enforcement of the Julian law are watching with in- terest the report of the Council Committee on Mr. Horton’s resolution calling for an ordinance to make that law effective. The*resolution was introduced over a week ago and directed that no further action be taken on any of the proposed franchise grabs until the Julian law should become operative. Notwithstanding the Council Committee had a week to consider the resolution, no report was made on it at Tuesday night’s session, There was a strong effort to kill the measure ovtright when it was first sub- mitted, and there are so many street rail- way franchise grabs before the body, it is doubtful whether it will ever see the light of day again. : In Kansas City a similar resolution was passed by one bran of the Municipal Assembly, but it went further than the Horton resolution and called on the Attor- ney-General to bring quo warranto proceed- ings to test the validity of the law. President McMath of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements, who knows the city char- ter like he does h!s alphabet, says there ‘s no necessity for such a proceeding in St. Louis, because for twenty years the charter has contained explicit authority for the Municipal Assembly to do all that is con- templated by the Julian lew. “And why has not the Municipal Assembly passed such an ordinance?’”’ he continued. “Well, thut’s more than I can tell, but it has the power to do s0.”’ “Did you ever calculate, Mr. McMath, how much the city treasury would have been gainer had the Julian law been en- forced?’ was asked.. “That law has been on our statutes a lit- tle over three years, and with one or two exceptions I do not recall any franchises of ‘mportance that the city has granted. We have had street railway extensions, but those privileges were asked by people who already had franchises, and the extensions were worth nothing to any one else, Still, if the Julian law had been effect’ve these extended franchises could have peen ad- vertised and sold to the highest bidder, but we would have seen but one bidder, and that the road that desired the extension, I am not ignoring the fact that the auction of the franchise could be had, though there Was but one bidder, and that the Julian law provides that the franchise shall bring an amount equal to 2 per cent of its gross receipts. But how are we to get at that 2 per cent? The extension might probably be for a loop, or a block or two, and the road might say it collected no fare on that portion of the line. There are other ways, however, of getting a quid pro quo out of street railways for the privileges they enjoy and grow rich on. They could be taxed so much a ¢car or so much a mile. 1 belleve we have a tax of $25 a carin this city, but it has been officially charged that not nearthe number of cars in actual service are.returned. If that be true, it is the fau!t of the depar. ment having that matter in charge, Then there might be a tax for each passenger carried, say 1 cent. and with the more than 25,000,000 passengers hauled last year, it is readily computed what a handsome revenue that would yield.” “Don’t you regnru the subway privileges as ‘franchibes?’’ ’ “1 doubt if they would be so construed by a high court. Tas corporations that use the subways already wiad franchises, and the subway is a regulation ordered by the city and the wire-using companies have got to submit to it at whatever expense ‘t may cost them to comply with the mau.lates of the city. “After all, the Julian law and this sentl- ment in regard to municipal franchises is but a growth of the public demand for the municiap]l cwnership of the institutions op- erated for public convenience and comfort, such as water-works, heat and light and street railway?. I don’t mean that the mu- nicipality skould recessarily operate .these plants, but control them, by lease and rent- als that will insure a reasonable revenue to the pubiic treasury, and to furnish them to the public at a reasonable price. “For instance: Paris controls its gas plant, but does not operate it. The corporation is limited, and its capital stock cannot be increased, that is, it can’t be watered. Nor is the company allowed to earn more than 134% per cent on its stock. All ever that g0es to the city, and for many years the c.ty’s income from that source alone has been $4,000,000. It. is the same with electric light plants and other corporations that have to utilize the streete. The time is approaching faster than the corporations would like to admit in this country when the same conditions will &€x- St in its large cities as are now challenged by no one in Paris, in Glasgow, throughout England and in Germany. In Glasgow the fare is a cent a mile during certain hours of the day, and only half a cent during others, and yet those companies pay the city a good revenue for use of the streets. The people are going to enforce their equities in this regard, and they are going to rule the corporations insfead of being dictated to by them.” -Dr. Frederick Gabel, First Assistant Comptroller, said that any calculation as to how much revenue the city would have ée- rived from the Julian law since its enact- ment would be merely speculative. “We would have to auction off a franchise or two to arrive at their approximate val- ue,” sad he. “Of course, the railroad com- panics and other franchise seekers could fixure on what a franchise would be worth, but they wouldn’t oblige the public with Such vaimaule information in advance. The ocation of a franchise and the service: to be derived from it measure ifs value. and While it m'ght be valuable to one corpora- tion, another in the same line of dusiness WHY? . Why do you forget so frequently? Why do you speak words that you so often regret? Why do you take up with new acquaint- apices, forgetting old friends? Why do you not-use clear judgment in- stead of too often acting upon impulse? Why do you persistently neglect your health, when it is your duty to take spe- cial care of it? Why are you so ¢areless when a sud- den chill, headache, tired feeling and gen- eral disgust with life come over you? Why do you not remember that the best physicians, scientists and the lead- ing people of the land all recommend pure whiskey as the proper thing to take at such times? Why do you not recall the fact that there is only one pure medical whiskey known to the world, that it is exceed- ingly popular, that it has been in use for twenty years, and that it is Duffy’s Pure Malt? Why do you not denounce any drug- gist, grocer or dealer who tries to offer you some other inferior whiskey, say- ing it is just as good? Why do you not always insist upon having just What you require, just what you desire; and just what you know to be the purest, the best and most efficient? ADVENT OF EUGENE Y.

A fire which came near resulting in the loss of life, broke out in Ollie May’s resort on Chestnut street early Wednesday morn- ing about 6:30 o’clock. Policeman L. J. Murphy saw smoke issuing from the upper He turned in an alarm and then ran back to arouse the inmates. By that time the flames were burnitg briskly. Murphy pulled the door-bell violently until aroused the seven sleeping inmates. They were panic stricken and rushed into the street clad only in their night clothes. / Maud Russell, one of the women, attempted to jump through a_ second story window and was severely cut by broken glass. Dr. Rule dressed her injuries which were pronounced not dangerous. The flames were soon extinguished.

Association Wil] Go to Work on the Lines Mapped Out by the Decision. “We are not surprised,” says Attorney Eugene McQuillin of the Smoke Abate- ment Association, ‘‘at the determination of the Supreme Court not to give us a re- hearing. Our surprise would have been: great if it had granted our petition. The facts and the court’s opinioh do not coin-' cide. The court says there is no known way of abating smoke. We have demonstrated that there is, but the court deciared it would take no judicial notice of the fact. “It has been alleged the Supreme Court sustained the decision of Judge Murphy. This is not entirely true. Judge Murphy did not declare the ordinance unconstitutional, but held there was not sufficient testimony. Unconstitutionality was pleaded by the de- fense, and not passed upon in the Court of Criminal Correction. “The decision by the Supreme Court will make it necessary on the part of future prosecutions to prove injury to persons or property by the smoke nuisance, when here- \ofore proof of the emission of smoke has been sufficient. This can be done, of course, but more testimony from citizens will be required “What our association proposes doing I cannot eay. You know that for the last nine or ten’ months it has done nothing, owing to the lack of funds, but it shouid not be allowed to digsolve. We have made remarkable progress in the past three years and it would be foolish to throw it all away. *“‘An ordinance should be at once intro- duced in the Munjcipal Assembly, providing for a law in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court. President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements, wao has had the appointment of an inspector under the existing ordinance, said to me re- cently that he thought the Smoke Abate- ment Association had accomplished a good work and that an ordinance could be framed that would meet judicial objections. “The people have not objected to our work. Even those we have prosecuted have admitted the usefulness of the association and fought us only by advice of attorneys, who. said @ ordinance was uncon- stitutional. “What the aX¥sociation will do I am not prepared to say, as I have had no consul- tation with President Moore upon the sub- ject. Speaking as a citizen, I say the work of abating the smoke nuisance shovwld not be allowed to die out. Men and money ought to be immediately forthcoming to renew the fight against smoke, upon the lines mapped out bv the decision of the Supreme Court.” Robert Moore, President of the Smoke Abatement Association, is out of the city, and a card on his office door announces he will.not return until Dec, 4. Other officials say nothing w!ll be done while Mr. Moore is absent. THE DILLON ESTATE CASE Dr. Stevens Removed as Trustee.and a Judgment Rendered Against Him, Jesse A. McDonald retains the trustee- ship of the Dillon estate and Dr. Charles D. Stevens is removed, and a judgment is found against him in favor of Trustee’ Mc- Donald for the sum of $1,561.29. Judge Withrow, before whom this case has beea pending for some time, entered a judgment to that effect Wednesday morn- ing. The controversy over the trusteeship of this estate began three years ago by several of the beneficiaries petitioning for the appointment of a trifetee to act with Dr. Charles D. Stevens, who then had en- tire charge of the property. That suit re- sulted in the appointment of Mr. McDon- did. It was shown by the testimony in the case just decided that McDonald began an Investigation of Dr.. Stevens’ accounts ag soon as he was admitted to the trusteeship. In a short time the petition in the case just passed upon, was filed, charging that’ Dr. Stevens had not accounted for all the trust funds that came into his hands. McDonald was one of the plaintiffs in the case. Ki Dr. Stevens filed a_ cross-bill, making charges of neglect and asking for his re- moval. Judge Withrow dismissed the cross-bil] and entered a judgment against him for the amount mentioned, along with all the costs of the suit. The estate is valued at $450,000.

Police Captain Phillips’ statistics showing the extent of crime in the Fifth District for the year ending Dec. 1, 1897, gives a de- crease of 30 per cent over that of last year. In cases of highway robbery, murders, fel- ons and misdemeanors, there is a falling off of 25 per cent. Disturbances of the peace and other viola- tions of city ordinances show a substantial decrease. No murderer has ever escaped from the district. Crime was 650 per cent lower in 1886 than In 1895. Capt Phillips says the district has a pop- ulation of 117,000, and there is but one pa- trolman to 1,360 inhabitants. There are eighty-six beats and only seventy-seven men to patrol them. This is in striking contrast to the Sixth District, which aver- ages almost two policemen to a beat. “The record is due solely to the vigilance of the officers in making arrests wherever possible,”” the Captain said. “Loafing and beer canning are among the most danger- ous breeders of crime, and we have put a stop to both in the Fifth District. To this more than any other one thing I attribute the decrease.”’ Memorial Home Christmas Market Will be held in the Chemica! -'uilding, cor. Eighth and Olive streets, Dec. 7, 3, 9.

Mr. Holman of the B. P. I. Says It Is Being Drawn Up. 45 The Council's ardor for the street Inspec- tion junket has cooled down considerably. Members who voted for the original resolu- tion now realize how absurd it would b to Send a commission to make observations of street building in cities whose streets are now covered with inches of ice and snow. It was the intention when the resolution was passed for the commission to have started this week and have a jolly ante- holiday junket, and be home in time for Christmas, but Auditor Mason: and Comp- troller Sturgeon called a halt when they pointed out that the Assembly had better pass an appropriation to pay the junket’s expenses. The Council, however, passed through first reading a bill appropriating $2,000 for the unket, and the House not only passed it hrough a second reading, but elected its representatives, They are Speaker Julfus | Lehmann and George D. Schaefer, good se- lections for the House, for both will be dig- nifled and try to learn what is new while they are away. The House adjourned until Tuesday next and nearly all of the new “Solid Nineteen’ have gone to Little River bottom for a week’s hunting and fishing. The placidity of the Council meeting last night was ruffled by a bitter attack by Mr. Heckel on the Board of Public Im- rovements on account of what he termed ts ‘‘dilly-dallying”’ with the new ordinance for city lighting. Mr. Heckel declared the Board of Public Improvements had wasted eighteen months on the lighting ordinance when it should have obtained the opinion of the City Coun- selor to start with. Mr. Heckel moved that the Committee on Public Improvements ask the board to re- port a new ordinance within a limited time. The motion prevailed. Mr. Horton defended the board and said he (Heckel) forgot that it was on his mo- tion that the first lighting ordinance was filed, and a new one ordered. The board had framed.a new ordinance, given a public hearing on it, and on account of the ob- jections to it pointed ‘out by the attorneys of the lighting companies had referred it to the City Counselor, and his opinion was of re- cent dnte. Mr. Heckel had been the author of a number of lighting ordinances, all of which contained schemes for the recognition of Some new device, and which the city was to experiment with and pay for. Mr. Horton thought the board had done its duty and the criticisms against it were un- warranted. Mr. Holman, Chairman of the Committee on Streets and Lighting, said yesterday that his committee would have the new ordi. nance ready just as soon as possible. and on_ the lines laid down by Mr. Marshall. On motion of Mr. Carroll, the Council filed the bill to renew the franchise for the King’s a hon railroad for threes years, He (Carroll) said certain real estate agents wished to boom real estate by this road, which they never intended to bu lid, ANGELL DEMANDS INDEMNITY. Turkey Asked to Pay for Pillage of Americans. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 1.-The tnited States Minister to Turkey, James FE. An- gell, has renewed the demand of the United States for an indemnity from the Turkish Government for the pillage of the American missions at Kharput, Marash and Has.- kongj, Armenia. The Porte denies any re- sponsibility for the pillaging on the ground that the Government acted under the stress of unavoidable circumstances. Minister Angell, however, insists upon the Govern- ment’s responsibility, as Turkish troops and gendarmes participated in the out- rages. ST.
