Hold-Up Reported to Have Occurred in the Same Locality Just Before Lindner Was Assailed. John Lindner, 74 years old, sexton at St. Joseph’s Church, was knocked down, robbed. choked and beaten into insensibility by two highwaymen near High and O’Fal- lon streets about 6:45 o’clock Sunday even- ing. A purse containing 20 ¢ents and a buckhorn pocket knife was the booty se- cured, Two little girls who were passing along O'Fallon street at the time witnessed the brutal assault and gave the alarm. Hear- ing the children’s screams the robbers flied down the alley between Twelfth and High streets. William Martin, with several men rushed from his Saloon at the corner. They found Lindner lying in the alley moaning with pain. out. His face was covered with blood, which spurted from an ugly scalp wound. He was also bleeding profusely from the nose .and mouth, A saucepan, hammered out of shape. was the weapon used by the robbers. The victim was removed to Martin's sa- loon at High and O'Fallon streets, where he was rubbed about the face and head with brandy and partiaHy revived. His voice was almost gone, s6 tightly had his assailants clutched his throat. He spoke in whispers. All he recalled was that he saw twe men approdch him and without a word of Warn- ing one of them grabbed him by the throat while the other struck him over the head with the saucepan, After that he remem- bers nothing. Lindner was taten to the ‘house of Al- bert Eaufinger, 1229 Nortn Twelfth street. Dr. L. H. Frederich of 1001 O’Fallon street was summoned and dressed his injuries. He pronounced them serious, The old man was Jater removed to his home, 1329 Blair ave- nue. He did not fully regain consciousness until Monday and his general condition then was not much improved. He bled almost continually from the nose and mouth. His throat is badly swollen and he cannot swal- low food. Owing to his advanced years it is doubtful if he can recover. There is no clew to the men who did the dastardly work and Lindner does not believe he could identify them if arrested. Iiis only description is that one was a tall, heavy-set man and clean shaven, The little girls who gave the alarm may be able to identify the men, but so far the police have been unable to locate the children. The old man was on his way to St. Joseph's Church to ring the bells for 7 o'clock services when the assault occurred. The keys taken from him belonged to the church. Lindner had been out of work for rome time and only recently obtained the sition of sexton from Father: Hoffman. iis son, Christian, advances the theory that his father was attacked because he was Supposed to have in h:s possession church funds. Martin states that a hold-up occurred in the same epot about 15 minutes before Lindner was tackled, and that the robbers secured $. He does not know whether this affair was reported to the police station. Sevegal persons tn the neighborhood eub- 6tantiated ths statement, but the police eay nothing of the kind occurred. Dr. lL. HW. Frederick, who is in attend- ance upon old man Lihdner, thinks he will recover. “But he had a miraculous escape. Hiad the blows struck an inch nearer the center of the head, death would have re- sulted instantly. He has had several hem- orrhages from the mouth.

SORT OF CONTINUOUS SHOW. A TIP TO CAPT. O'MALLEY OF A NOVEL DEVICE AT “THE BROOKLYN.” EMPLOYES IN A WIRE CAGE. In These They Believe They Can Safe- | ly Laugh at the Officers and Work the Old Game With- | out Interference, The pool-rooms which have been raided four times within the past week will be raided again to-day by tthe police. They will also be raided to-morrow and the following day and each successive day that they open for business, so Chief Harrigan gays. The Chief grimly asserts the police can stand the game as long as the gamblers can, and as the latter appear to like the ex- citement, the raids may develop into a con- tinuous free show for the rabble. The seven pool-rooms at 609 Pine street, 208% North Fourth street, 619 St. Charles street, 713 Pine etreet, 218 North Seventh street, 204 North Fourth street, and 814 , Olive street, were raided Monday afternoon, and twenty-cight men arrested, With one or two exceptions these men are the same ar- rested in-the previous raids. In the police court Tuesday all the cases were continued until December 8, the date set for the hearing of the previous cases against them. Up to date the only opposition manifested by the pool-room men comes from the pro- prietors of the Brooklyn at 814 Olive street, which place was barricaded against the po- lice in Saturday’s raid. The police finally circumvented the move by freezing out the occupants and arresting them as they made their exit. Capt. O'Malley said Tuesday that he had received a tip that the proprietors of the Brooklyn had determined on a new scheme to prevent the police arresting their em- ployes when the next raid occurs. All the important employes are to be surrounded by a heavy wire screen, to which access can be had only through a gate. When a raid is expected this door will be securely locked, and from thelr positions in the ‘cage’ the employes can look down upon the officers of the law and laugh to scorn their efforts to prevent the continuance of the game. In order to reach these violators of the law it will be necessary for the police to break open the doors of this cage, and the gamblers believe the police will not do that, Capt. O'Malley will not say what course the police will pursue in the case. The numerous raids have been a source of considerable profit to the police department, the lawyers and the professional bondsmen, all of whom have taken quite a slice of the — gains of the bookies during the week. The Brooklyn Pool-room astonished its habitues Tuesday by the unique and-start- ling character of its arrangements to ci~m cumvent the police. A pine bench has been constructed along the wall opposite the cigar counter, with space behind it for the bookmakers, cash- lers and clerks. Running from the outer edge and covering every inch of space, rises a network of iron screens, reaching to the high ceiling of the room. It is a complete and perten’ fortress and is deemed impene- trable by the minions of the law. At the bottom of the screens is a line of Space, about one-quarter of an inch wide, through which money and tickets are ex- changed. Behind the line of employes inclosed with- in the screen are two doors. opening out- wardly, through which escape may be tem- porarily made. The management believe they have solved the problem of standing off the hoodlum wagon. Through the network of iron they will dally with the police until the princi- pals are well on their way to the Four Courts to give bond. HEAVY DELIVERIES CONTINUE.

ARE ACCUSED OF THE CRIME. While the Hotel Was Burning the Proprietor Says His Trunk Was Broken Open and Val- uables Taken. es * An attempt to burn the Hotel Waverly, Eighth and Market streets, was made Tues- day morning. The incendiary’s motive was evidently to destroy evidence of a robbery. The fire started in room No. 5 on the second floor, fronting on Market street. It is occupied by the proprietor, J. G. Bever, and his wife. Two trunks in the room were forced open and rified of about $300 worth of jewelry, Afterwards fire was started in two parts of the room, and inside the smaller trunk. Mr. and Mrs. Bever own a4 restaurant on Twelfth street. They left the hotel to go there for breakfast about 8:30. o'clock. Fifteen minutes later the negro porter of the hotel, John Bonavita, rushed in and told them the hotel was on fire. ‘When they got back the fire department had extinguished the flames. A few mo- ments later Mr. and Mrs, Bever discovered that the locks of the trunks were forced. When she left for breakfast Mrs. Bever locked her room door and left the key on the rack in the office. When she returned 4 the key was still in the rack, but the pass key was in the lock. A large poker from the office was used to force the big trunk. It fitted a dent in the trunk jock perfectly and the poker h become bent in forcing it. Officers Donlon and Flanagan investi- gated. They argued that some one about the premises did the work. An ouisider would have used a skeleton key. He would not have known where to find the pass keys. An outsider having robbed and set fire to the room would not have taken the trouble, and endangered his chances of escape by taking the poker back to the office where it belonged. He could have had no object in doing so. Any one about the house doing the job would take that precaution to avert sus- picion. If the trunks had been destroyed no evidence of robbery would have re- mained, but to have found the office poker in the room would have been a suspicious circumstance. The leaving of the pass key in the lock was an oversight. John Bonavita went to work at the hotel last Saturday. He says he saw Mrs. Bever leave the key in the office. He knew they had gone to breakfast, and would not be back for an hour. He says he remained in the hotel and no one came except a man to inquire about engaging a room, When P.-D, Wants Are Growing!

HIT AN Two of the Fleeing Robbers Cap- tured, but the Third Made Good His Es- , ° € cape. ar. eet — a Y James Kewin is dying in the City Hos- pital. Policeman John Kavanaugh’'s un- steady gun sent him there. Kewin was shot by Officer Kavanaugh at 2:15 o’clock Tuesday morning. The bul- let entered the abdomen. The policeman ‘Was in pursuit of three burglars and the bullet that struck Kewin was intended for the fugitives. Kavanaugh is constructiveiy under arrest pending investigation. It is ) clearly established, however, that the shoot- ing was accidental. | Kewin was a waiter in Brewster's restau- rant, an all night resort, 11 South Seventh street. Business was dull in the early hours of Tuesday morning and Kewin stood on the sidewalk in front. Policeman Kavanaugh detected three men in the act of forcing an entrance to the Oh'o saloon, Seventh and Market streets. One of the burglars wae half way througn on the Market street side, while his two confederates stood ag sentinels on the out- side. As the officer approached, there was a shrill whistle—a signal of danger, and then the sentinels fied. The man in the tran- som dropped to the sidew and followed his confederates. They turn the corner and ran south on Seventh street. From his position in front of the restau- rant Kewin viewed the scene, There was a fusillade from Kavanaugh’'s n as he turned the corner, half a block behind the fleeing burglars. When Kewin was struck he sank to the sidewalk and was carried inside of the res- taurant by Albert Fassinger, another wait- er. Officer Kavanaugh ran a few steps further, continuing to shoot at the burg- lars, who had dodged into pe, pom! al- leys. Meanwhile Patrolmen Wall and Crane took up the chase and Kavanaugh returned to the restaurant ta look after the mun he had accidentally shot. An ambulance was called and Kewin was taken to the City Hospital. The doctors say there Is scarcely a hope for recovery. The victim of Patrolman Kavanaugh’s gun is 22 years old and unmarried. His home is in Louisville. Some of his relatives are said to be prominent Kentuckians. Kewin came here from Louisville a few months ago. The excitement incident to the es 4, of Kewin did not prevent Patrolmen Wall and Crane from giving the burglars a epir- ited chase. After a short run, one of the burglars was captured. He gave his name as Ed Stilwell. e was identified by Officer Kavanaugh ag the man who was trying to squeeze through the transom. A few min- utes after the capture of Stillwell, another of the trio was arrested by Patroimen Noona1 and Dignan in an alley near Olive cieaning iaAmps, and talking tosfhe chamber- maid Addie Lee. Hic aad the man who discovered the fire rushed at the door and forced the lock. The lock waa not forced.

The trip was made in the special coach Newport and was +without special incident. The party was met at the station by Mr. Abner McKinley and Mr. Charles R. Miller. Dr. Phillips, who was present at the time of the President's arrival and the recogni- tion, said that he had never known such a recognition to occur in a case where the patient was as advanced in years. It is plain to the President, however, that de- ¢pite the rallies she has had, his mother has been failing since he left. GERTIE CLARK IS DEAD. Had Trouble With Her Husband and Committed Suicide. CINCINNATI, Dec. 7.—Mrs. Gertie Clark, a concert hall singer, better known as Ger- t'e West, committed suicide here last night by taking carbolic acid. She was married a few months ago to Joseph Clark, a sign painter. Their marital life was not happy, and after a quarrel last night, she decided that death was preferable to such an ex- istence. Her real name was Gertrude Lord, and her home was in San Franciseo, where she has an aged father, who is an tnmate of a sSodldier’s home. THE PISTOL WAS LOADED. Distressing Accident That Cost a Child’s Life. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAIRO, Ill., Dec. 7.—A distressing case of “didn’t know it was loaded’’ occurred here this morning. A negro went to lack’s. second hand store to pawn a pistol. oo 5 ‘fack asked the man if it was loaded and he replied no. She took the pistol, cocked it and pulled the trigger. It went off and the bullet struck her little girl, kill- ing t‘he child instantly. ay Some Christmas Novelties. The great variety of holiday goods dis- played by St. Louis merc hants has perhaps never before. been equaled. Wonderful in- deed are some of the striking novelties ex- hibited at Aloe’s, 517 Olive street. The fad this season for young folks seems to be mechanical toys, Parisian automatans delighting both old and young by their life- like movements. Foremost among these are the bubble-blowing bear, banjo-playing gorilla and strutt'ng peacock. The latter, arrayed in all the glory of a living bird, walks majestically back and forth, raising and lowering its effulgent plumage as though imbued with life. The bubble-blow- ing bear consists of a miniature bear hold- ing a small dish in one hand, with a small tin tube in the other, the dish being filled with soap and water. The bear blows ac- tual soap bubbles true to life. Also very wonderful indeed are the new models this season that so much delight children in me- chanical st-am-working engines. steam- beats and railroad trains. The attachments operated. by thése miniature gteam engines are of: cons siderable instructive utility, con- sisting of miniature workshops, circular saws, trip-hammers, etc., and for a boy or girl with a mechanical turn of mind they are quite sensible presents, inasmuch as they are educational in their character. Hand-carved wood ornaments, such as ipes for decorating walls, smoking sets, nk wells—all hand-carved and made _ in oa emnn are appropriate gifts for my “uay. In chinaware the Rookwood vases and Royal Bonn old Dutch effects are said to be the latest and highly proper for parlor cabinets, etc. Lad.es’ to.let and writ: ng articles are made exclusively of sterling silver. The general character, originality and highly unique features of the line exhibited by the Aloe Company merit the marked attention ac- cord+«d the. house, embracing as they do SOME THING rOR EVERYBODY, young and old, male and female. The management announces to-day as the formal opening of the holiday season and invites the public most cordially to call and intpect. Lookers equally as welcome as buyers.

INTERSTATE GUARD FORMED. —— Gen. Lewis Delivers the Keys of the City to the Visitors and Prom- ises Police Protection. The American Interstate Association of the National Guard was omranized Tuesday evening, at a meeting of the Adjutants- General at the Planters’ Hotel. The States represented were Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Io- wa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyo- ming, South Dakota, New Mexico, Oklaho- ma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Vermont, Missouri and Wisconsin. The object of the new association, as announced by Adjutant-General M. F. Bell of Missouri, is primarily to secure from the United States Government a greater appropriation to maintain the National Guard of the country. The meeting was called to order at 10:15 o'clock in the smal! dining-room of the hotel at the north end of the parlor floor. Gen. Bell {jntroduced Mayor Ziegenhein, who welcomed the delegatés to St. Louis and extended them the freedom of St. Louis. Gen. James M. Lewis of St. Louis echoed the remarks of the Mayor ang added that he was authorized by the Govignor of this great State to add that the freedom of the commonwealth was also @xtended to the distinguished visitors. be “T am on the Committee of Entertain- ment.’’ Gen. Lewis went on to Say,,*‘but if you get separated from us [ can assure you in my capacity as Vive-President of the St. Louis Police Board, that no matter what you do, the orders have been issued that none of yau shall be taken to task for any- th.ng you might do.”’ Gen. Lewis further said that Gov. Stephens was heartily in favor of the ob- ject of the association. “We are the fifth State and we have only $10,000 a year with which to keep up our citi- zen soldiery,”’ he cont nued, “‘l hope in time the General Assembly will be convinced of the error of its way and give us an adequate appropriation.”’ Gen. Lewis then asked to have the pleas- ure of the delegates taken regarding a car- riage drive, cither Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. The delegates voted to take the drive through the parks and the West End Wednesday. . The meeting selected as temporary chair- man Gen M -F.. Bell. Col. Bratt of Nebraska was made temporary secretary and Major Moore of Ohio was called as as- éistant secretary. A call for the roster of delegates revealed these gentlemen in attendance: Texas—Maj. A. Harrison, First Artillery; Capr. A. H. Miller, Firet Infantry. Arkansas—Maj.-Gen. R. S. Shaver, Com- mander; Maj.-Gen. V. Y. Cook, Brig.-Gen. C. R. Schoer, Brig.-Gen. George P.

The principal feature is his urg¢nt demand that the members hurry and get done and go home. He insists ihat all business should be finished by the holidays, He urges the passage of a primary election law, and goes into details of assessmen's to show that amendments should be adopted lo force property on the tax books, He says Chicago presents the only spectacle where the police force is used as a political creat- ure to advance the ends of politicians. It is due to the people of Chicago that they be given the best possible protection, and this can only be done through a non-political] board. His demand for reapportionment ‘s based upon the assertion that the distric:« are now so div:ded that in order that the be The Fly-Wheel of Life” Republicans carry both branches of the Dr. Tutt; Your Liver Pills are Republicans carry bot the fly-wheel oflife.

He uses his discredited bimetal- lic commission to hold out the hope of bimetallism. But a part of the currency-tinkering programme is dependent upon the in- crease of the revenue to the needs gf the Government; but there is not a word as to the necessity of making the tariff law a better revenue producer. The Presi- dent evades the situation and with marked insincerity does not hint at the failure of the trust-promoting, slush-fund rewarding Dingley law to accomplish the purpose for which it was ostensibly framed. With regard to the Kansas Pacific sale the President beseeches Congress to come to his rescue by assuming responsibility through an act designating how he shall proceed. His recent experience in the Union Pacific deal has made him anxious to shift the responsibility. That Congress will do nothing to em- barrass the administration is probable. ‘The wild horses of the House are in Speaker Reed’s strong hands, so that if the Senate were inclined, it can accom- a oe OLYMPIC—“A Coat of Many Colors."’ CENTURY—‘‘The Man From Mexico.”’ IMPERIAL—“David Laroque.”’ STANDAKD—New York Stars.

MISSOURI POLITICS Pertinent Paragraphs About the Sit- uation and the Politicians, From the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. Gov. Stephens is hot after Sam Cook. Mrs. Stephens might make an entry in her diary something like this: “‘My Dear Lon- nie is not much stuck on the Cook.” — From the Carroliton (Mo.) Democrat. If Gov. Stephens wants Sam Cook elected to office, all he will have to do is to con- tinue roasting Sam through the Stephens papers. In fact this would elect any man to office. From the Salisbury (Mo.) Democrat. Gov. Stephens has to-day more enemies than any other nfan in public life and it can be truthfully said that his own conduct is responsible for every one of them. A man is frequently judged by the enemies that he has, but there is such a thing as too much enmity. From the Kansas City Journal. The St. Joe News aptly characterizes as hopeless the task undertaken by its con- temporary, the Gazette, and the Jefferson City Tribune, of calling off the Democratic newspapers of the State that are criticis- ing Gov. Siephens. From the Carthage (Mo.) Press. Gov. Stephens is said to have Inaugurated a war of exterminaiion upon Sam Cook, State Chairman of the Democratic party, and from the attacks being made upon Cook in the Governor’s “official organ,” the Rocheport Commercial, it would seem there is a good deal of truth in the report. The differences between Stephns and Cook dat back at least as far as the campaign of 18965, when Stephens charged that Cook was an inefficient State Chairman. The merry war has been going on quietly ever since, and now is beginning to manifest itself publicly. STOPPED THE PRAYING. A Persistent Constable Summons a Preacher During Service, OAKLAND, UL, Dec. 17.—The religious meeting being held at Canaan was twice disturbed during its progress, first by un- ruly disturbers and then by a deputy con- Stable. It was reported to the offic:als that Ellis Swinford and Ross Mulineaux had in- terrupted a religious service by their bois- terous behavior. They were arrested by Constable Frank Digby. The minister con- ducting the services was one of the main Witnesses against the two men. While he Was in the micst of his preaching the con- stable insisted on reaging a summons to him ordering him to appear in cvurt and testify. The two men wore fined $5 each. TRIED TO REPLEVIN HER. Jacob Miller Trying to Get Hold of His Sweetheart. CINCINNATI, 0., Dec 7¢Jacob Miller, a young man of 21, instituted or tried to Institute replevin proceedings in a justice Court to secure possession of hia sWweet- heart, who ts in the custody of a maiden aunt. The girl, he said, was wil ing to marry him, but her aun: would not let her leave the house, So he weat to Magistrate W'nk- i@r to see f he could not swear out some Sort of wr't and get the Constable to rescue his girl for him. The squire was com- elled to refuse his request and sent him to e chief of police. " AT THE PLAYHOUSES. Conversation and clothes are the dis- tinctive features of Mrs. Madeleine Lucette Ryley’s play, “A Coat of Many Colors,” which was presented last night at the Olympic Theater by a most excellent com- pany. The clothes are introduced by Miss Effie Shannon, Miss Georgia Busby and Miss Ellie Wilton and are of a very su- perior quality, The conversation is brought in by every lady in the cast. The play is as-chatty as an afternoon tea. Like all of Mrs. Ryley’s creations it teems with bright and witty lines and it lacks coherent situa- tion. The story is about a man lawyer and a& woman lawyer, who are brought together as associafe counsel in a case involving a mysterious woman, The mysterioug woman proves to be the woman lawyer’s mother and narrowly escapes becoming the man lawyer’s stepmother. The man lawyer has a brother secretly married to the daughter of an old Scotchman, and is made to suffer for the brother’s indiscretion. Finally he and the woman lawyer smooth out the wrinkles and are married to each other. Herbert Keicey is the man lawyer and Miss Shannon igs the woman lawyer. Mr. Kelcey {ts correct and pleasing as usual. Miss Shannon is a dream of blonde loveli- ness and is more animated than 1s her wont. Miss Busby is not on the stage a great deal, but when she does come on little ejaculationg of pleasure may be heard all over the house, for it is a privilege to watch Miss Busby walk across the stage. Wiliam J. Le Moyne ts the man lawyer’s giddy father. He wears a red wig and is as worldly as old Maj. Pendennis. Edmund D. Lyons does a neat bit of character work in the role of William McWhirter, an old Scot¢h gentleman with a flerce temper and a gréat pride of ancestry. Edward Lee, as a servant, is delightfully amusing. Demands for seats for the performance of “Tess of the D'Urbervilles,” by Mrs, Minnne Maddern Fiske at the Fourteenth Street Theater, are already coming in, The box office will be open Thursday, —-o—.

An Aged Hater of Men Arranges for Her Own Funeral, NEWMAN, IIl., Dec. 7.—An old woman re- sides near Brushy Fork, southwest of this city, who has been an irreconcilable man- hater for forty-eight years. She ie a spinster leading a hermit's life and has a comforta- ble sum of money secreted in her home. Since being disappointed in love forty-eight years ago she has never epoken to & man. She is seldom seen in town and her trading is done with female clerks. She has made a Will and Purchased a cemetery lot. Explicit dirgetions have been given that no man shail preach her funeral sermon nor act a6 pall- Méarers, a woman shall drive the hearse and women shall lower the remains and fill the grave. No men are to be allowed in the ]OWA RAILWAY LEGISLATION Law a Practical Nullity and a Revision Demanded. | j DES MOINES, Io., Dec. 7.—The annual re: port of the lowa Railway Commissioners, just filed with the Governor, makes some radical recommendations calling for new legislation to rehabilitate laws that have been supposed until very recently to give ample power to the commissioners to regu- late rates. In the case of Barris against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Ra.lway Co., the lowa Supreme Court decided that the rate fixed by the Commissioners was not prima facie evidence of a reasonable rate, thus in effect hold.ng that ail rates are subject to review by the courts, and gives the railway companies, the board thinks, the right to whoily disregard the COlMiM.ssioners rate, The commissioners regard this as against the securing of uniform rates, which was the intent of the law, and declare it will prevent them from enforcing uniform rates, so they.cannot prevent aaiéed discrimina- tions. It will lead to great confusion in both freight and passenger business if the rail- ways are allowed to contest the reasonable- ness of raies with each shipper, because juries and courts will not agree as to the Same rate; it will cause a multiplicity of suits. If such never-ending litigation is unavoidable under the present law, the com.- missioners ‘“‘think tRMat such legislation should be enacied whereby the peopie of the State may be fully protected in securing reasonable maximum rates without unneces- Sary delay and vexation.”’ Referring to the litigation which the de- cision of the Supreme Court invites, the board asks for legislation which will make it possible to establish a schedule of max- imum rates which ‘‘would be binding both upon the shipper and the railways, without compelling the shipper to expend large sums of money in a multiplicity of suits to establish what might be ascertained and established in one suit,”’ The commissioners state further that the decision absolutely destroys the statute of the State in regard to the long and short haui, because there is no standard of a legal character that is or can be established under this construction. PROPOSED TO RUSH THINGS. Politicians Talk uf a Short Session and Rapid Tegislation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 7.—Local poli- ticians, some of them who are said to be within speaking distance of Gov. Tanner, in talking of a “short session,” say that the extra session will be over by Chr stmas, as everything is ready to be put through with a rush. But this view is not generally held here. It is believed that Speaker Curtis will attempt to put through the machine’s ap- INDIANA DEMOCRATS. The State Committee Meets to Prepare for the Campaign. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 7.—The Demo- cratic State Committee meet here to-day to consider preliminaries for the campaign next year, and to issue a call for district conventions on the 8th of next month, to elect new committeemen. This action was decided on by Chairman Parks Martin and his advisers Saturday. Each committce- man has been notified and and peter A there has been such response as to attend- ance to insure not only the presence of the full committee, but of a large number of lead':ng Democrats from every section of the State. Among them will be prospective candidates, who as the time approaches to consider the personnel of the next State ticket have become quite numerous, SAG BRIDGE SKELETONS. The Mounds on the Kelly Farm Yield More Bones. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—Five more Indian skel- etons have been taken from the mounds on the Kelly farm, near Sag bridge, and if the ghosts of the region need new excuse [€r activity they have it ready at hand. The skeletons were dug from a mound never be- fore disturbed, and they were exhumed un- der the direction of Prof. Burke of the Field Columbian Museum, who was sent to Sag bridge by Prof. Dorsey two days ago. The condition of the bones showed that the oc- cupants of the mound were interred many ' years before the mounds previously opened ‘were constructed. Prof. Burke was of the opinion last night that the ekeletons had been in the gravel for over 200 years, peér- haps for a century longer. In spite of the : best endeavors of the diggers the skeletons | were not taken out intact. Through age | the bones had heen brought to, the flakine:6 ‘of ashes and many of them crumbled away the moment the encasing earth wag re- ved. The skulls and thigh bones, however, were all well preserved and through them the number of skeletons was proved. Prof. Burke began the labor of opening the mound Friday morning. _ For assistarts he se- is at summit of a hill, and the cold would have made digging imposs:ble had not a shelter tent been hoisted over the spot. The hole in the mound was made at the side and not from the top and the dirt moved with the utmost cere. Prof. Burke will stay at the Sag several days longer and will dig into every hillock that gives prom:se of being an Indian burial mound. ie said last night that the discoveries thus far were of great scientific importance.

The Dutchman in the Front and Hold- ing His Position With Ap- parent Ease. Bpectol to the Post Dispatch. NIEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The bicyclists are cracking all records in the race in Madison Square Garden this week. Krank Waller, the Dutchman, who held | the lead until 10 o'clock this morning, is the surprise of the meeting. At 487 miles, 3 laps, he is still going along easilv in the lea@ and with every prospect of staying there. About the next biggest surprise its the withdrawal of the veteran, Albert Schoch who gave up the fight after traveling just 200 miles. Some remarkable work is being done in this race. Stephane showed that heis with- out doubt one of the best distance riders ever seen in the cycle racing game by cov- ering 270 miles at a whirl. Reading also thirty-six starters ten have quit the game. The most notable rider to drop is Albert Schoch, who gave up the game after cover- ing 2) miles. He had a cold on his lungs and said that every turn of the pedals made him feel as though he was being stabbed in the back. He stood it as long as pos- eible And give nafure a chance. That speed is not the only requisite in a contest of 142 hours’ duration was discov- ered early in thé battle by Fred Titus, mid- die-d «tance crack of the Rivereide Wheel- men, who wisely withdrew, as many had yrredicted he would. Emile Rivierre, the — eongepteng and Julius, the representative of Switzerland, likewise are experiencing an object lesson to the same point, Harlev Davidson, the Canadian cham- pion, perhaps the speed’est man at short distances in the party, also finds that his speed avails him naught in the company with which he is now traveling. The three riders named, however, and several who fre not yet far advanced in the table of riders, are not wholly lacking in the quail- ficat ons mentioned, and may yet figure considerably nearer to the coveted prize. The feature of the race up to the present time is the form exhibited by Waller. He had set himself the task of covering 500 miles in the first twenty-four hours. He did not succeed; but managed to round out 483 miles within the allotted time. Tedcy Haie, the hope of the Irish faction, pursues the even tenor of his way at a gait of ‘about twenty miles to the hour, but frequent retirements from the track have brought him many notches further down on the ladder than he would otherwise have ee i, To the concern of. his Irish friends, how- ever, it must he told that Hale is not in the eplendid condition which with he has been credited. He has been having trouble with his stomach, but those who know of his tenacity and generalship are hopeful that his head will pull him through where other organs fail. ‘he score at t o’clock this morning, or Tather last n'ght, was: Miles.

RETIREMENT, IT HAS AT LAST BEEN DECIDED ON BY THE CHICAGO CLUB. BURNS WILL SUCCEED HIM. This Is No Fairy Tale This Time, but an Actual Statement of Facts. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—The Record to-day says: Adrian C, Angson’s retirement from the managership of the Chicago Base Ball Club has at last been practically decided upon, and a means found whereby it can be done satisfactorily to all concerned. The veteran player, Captain and manager will be given a birth in the club which will carry with it a few duties, and a liberal sal- ary, and which will also permit the Captain if he so desires to branch out in the minor league business, Details of the agreement will not be given out until the Chicago Captain’s contract ex- pires next February. President Hart can now go ahead and engage a manager for next’ season, and the man in view is Tom Burns, the ex-Colt, about whom there was so much talk during the Phijadelphia meeting of the League. The rumor current that if Anson was re- leased by Chicago he would probably man- age Philadelphia are entirely unfounded. ~~ ->—— — CURLEY BROWN’S SUCCESS. His Work at Nashville Gets Himra Po- sition at Other Points. NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 7.—Curley Brown is among the recent arrivals from Nashville. The Cumberland Park people were so favorably impressed with the ex- cellence of his work at their recent meet- ing that they have already tendered to him the position of starter on all the tracks of the circuit to be operated by them next year. This circuit will include Nashville, Highland Park, Detroit, Fort Erie, Toron- to and perhaps one or two other tracks in Canada. In all probability Mr. Brown will do the starting at these tracks. Thames Course Is Satisfactory. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 7.—Capts. Whitney and Goodrich of the Yale and Har- vard University crews report that the new Thames course as surveyed by the Regatta Committee of the New London Board of Trade is eminently satisfactory not only for the Yale-Harvard race, but for the Yale- Harvard-Cornell contest provided the Itha- cans can be induced to row there.

SKIT, IT THREATENS TO SHORTEN THE HAPPY MARRIED LIFE OF CHARLES A. BALLACK. THE HUSBAND CRITICISED IT. After That Letters From His St: Louis Family Ceased to Reach Him in Rochester, Wis. Through writing a letter to his wife in Which he states that he considered her skirt three inches too short for a married lady to wear, Charles A. Ballack, once a prominent St. Louls business man, says he is defendant.in a divorce suit. The letter has been placed on file ae h'‘s answer to the suit by Judge Witherow, in Circuit Court No. 3. There is a touch of sadness in it. “Being ‘in financial distress and for that reason unable to appear in this case either in person or by attorney,’’ writes the de- fendant, “I take thie method of informing you regarding the facts in this case, and will then submit it to your good judgment and sense of justice, believing you will do what you think is the best in the matter. “I will state trese facts as briefly as pos- sible. Aug. 8, 189, owing to the suspension of the American Hameless Collar Co. of St. Louls, of which I was member, Mrs. Bal- lack and myself decided to move back to Rochester, Wis., where she owned an in- terest in a small property, and where we thought expenses would be lighter. I being financially ruined by the closing of the business and seeing no prospect of being able_to live in St. Louis longer, came on here, rented the house in which my wife owned an interest, borrowed the money with which to move the family and house- hold goods, and sent it to my wife with the request to comne on as soon as possible. She then, aS I believe, through the advice of friends, changed her mind and decided to remain there and keep up a home for her two boys, claiming they needed her more than I did for another year or two. “I then wrote her that it would be ut- terly impossible for me to earn enough to support myself and send her enough to amount to anything toward the support of a family in a large city. I finally con- sented to her remaining there till the boys were older and better able to take care of themselves, and during the fall and sum- mer of '96 sent them what few dollars I could spare in anaes and money. Only a trifle, to be sure, but al] I had, “A cordial correspondence was kept up all this time regularly, and about the 10th of January, 1897, my wife came up here to make me a visit and remained with me about ten days, and the best of kind feel- ings prevailed.

I was trying to get into a small business up here, so as to make better than day wages, and dollars counted as big items. “I left St. Louis again April 18, 1897, part- ing in the most friendly way, and my wife agreeing to come up during the summer and spend a few weeks with me at any time when I could send her money to cover her expenses. A most cordial correspondence was maintained all spring and summer, up to July 21, 1897. “At this time she wrote me a letter show- ing that she was very much hurt because I had written her a letter criticising a pic- ture she had sent me, taken in bicycle cos- tume, and with her wheel, “T stated that I would have liked ft better had the skirt been three inches longer, that I considered it too short for a married lady, according to my ideas.

He Believes He Will Win His Fight From Creedon. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Kid McCoy spent a quiet day at his training quarters in New Dorp to-day. The bad condition of the roads, due to the heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday, cut short the morning run of Mc- Coy, Doc Payne, Kid McPartland and the rest of the Senta who are getting into condition at the Southfield Hotel. In the afternoon McCoy’s work in the gymnasium demonstrated his magnificent condition. After fighting the big bag and punching the little one, he sparred Payne and McPart- land to a standstill without apparently dis- tressing himself in the least. Several per- sons saw him take his rub down and Train- er Payne called attention to the magnificent muscular condition of the young middle- weight. His muscles are like iron when they are tense, but he has lost no quickness in this extraordinary development, for his arm, relaxed, is as soft as a woman's, in his quiet way McCoy expresses absolute confidence in his ability to win over Cree- don. “IT know he’s a better man than any I've ever met,” gaid he, “but I think I'll whip him sure.” Oakes’ Only Original Pure Home-made Candies, We lead always.

HOPELESSLY NERVOUS WRECK. JUDGMENT OF THE COURT RE- CEIVED WITH EXHIBITIONS OF PHYSICAL FEAR. MAY PROCURE A_ RESPITE. Murderer of Miss Rausch Has Given Up All Hope and Will Prepare for the Execution. John Thomascheutz, convicted of slaying his sweetheart, Anna Rausch, stood before the bar in the Criminal Court Tuesday morning. and listened while Judge Zachritz pronounced the death sentence upon him. The morning of Jan. 12 is the date set for the execution of Thomascheutz in the city jail yard. Thomascheutz entered the court-room leaning upon, the arm of a Deputy Sheriff. | His step was unsteady. His legs trembled | as though. they would collapse under the weight of his slight figure. His knees | knocked together. The veins in his neck stood out like whipcords, very pulse in his body seemed to throb violently. His lips twitched. He clutched his hancs spasmodi- cally. less, nervous wreck. | Half an hour before be-ng taken to the Court foom he had been informed by his ——— attorney that Judge. Zachritz had over- ruied the motion for a new trial, also the |; motion in arrest of judgment. There was | nothing left but the solemn formality of passing sentence. Thomascheutz appeared as a hope- p, College, says: | Cure in both and commend | WHAT IS LIFE? A Discovery by Prof. Gates, of Washington, which An- swers the Question. — An Interesting Subject. | “What is life?’ This auestion has been asked during all ages, but it has never until now been successfully answered. Prof. Elmer Gates of Wasb- ington, who has been making great experiments with the microscope, has made virtually a double microscope; in other words, he brings the image of the first microscope on the lens, which picture on the lens is enlarged by the second microscope, s0 that many things which it is impossible to see with an ordinary microscope are revealed. In this way he is able to see the smallest cells of the body in an exceedingly larg4 form. He says: “Cat a piece of protoplasm into a number of pleces and each piece wiil still be alive,’’ thus proving that the germs of life eaist in even the minutest parti- cle ofthe body. sut he goes farther and says that he believes mind fs life, and thst mind is present in every particle of the body. This is a new, a startling, a wonderful theory and it may lead to a revolution on the subjects of disease, health and of happiness. It explains clearly one thing, and that is, why the mind is frequently affected when the body is dis- ordered, and it brings home the question of health or disease very forcibly, It becomes plain that in order to have a clear head and a strong mind, one must have a body that is in perfect condition. When the body 1s de- ranged the mind canaoct work rightly. With pains in the back, nausea, weariness, bearing down sen- sations and all the symptoms indicating a weak- ened condition of the kidneys and urinary organs, there is certain to be a clouding of the intellect which calls for linmediate action, This action can only be successfully taken by using some great, modern discoveryy that is certain to put the cell tissues in perfecf shave. There is such a discovery and it is doing more to counteract pain and estab- lish health than anything known to modern times. in speaking of it Dr. William Edward Robsow of London says: “I emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more cures by the use of Warner's Safe Cure than by all tbe medicines in the British pharmacopaela.’’ Dr. dean of the United States Medical “I prescribe and use Warner’s Safe acute and chronic Bright’s disease it most frankly.’’ Such statements should convince any man or A.

He hung his head and uttered not a sound, His frame shook more violently than be- fore. The onlookers wondered if he wouid not sink to the floor. Attorney Robertson of the Thomascheutz counsel stood near, He said: “Your Honor, the defendant’s attorneys have exerted every effort on his behalf, There is nothing more to say.” Judge Zachritz then pronounced the sen- tence with the usual! form. As the court uttered the words, ‘Shall hang by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul,” the eyes of the cringing wretch bulged as though they would protrude from their sockets. The return of Thomascheutz to the jail was without special incident. It is hardly probable he will be hanged on the. date fixed by the court. An effort will be made to take the case to the Supreme Court, and even if that fails, the Governor will likely grant at least one resp:ite, thus delaying the final scene in the Thomas- cheutz-Rausch tragedy. GASH FROM FOREHEAD 10 NODE Result of a Cake Walker Becoming Too $ Popular. John Woods, coloréd, attended the cake walk of the ‘400’ Club at the Natatorium Monday night in swell style. He was popu- lar with the “ladies” to the envy of scores of his fellows. About 2 a. m., John went across the way to a saloon, where were gathered a half dozen or more of those who had efivied his good cloth.ng and favors on the ball floor. In a ‘haughty manner he etrode up to the bar and in a loud voice to the Caucasian harkcep‘ said: “Gimme ar Manhattan an’ ginger ale on de side.” ' The envious ones gazed at h!m for a mo- ment, and then one began to denounce him “aS an intruder at the ball; that he did not belong to the ‘400” and he was a “white folks’ nigger.’’ John sneeringly remarked: Fou and con’t wants to.’’ “Oh, you're not so warm,’ was the retort of a big black fellow, whe stood in arm's reach, a» he gave John a@ jolt under the jaw with his fist. John let fly his cocktail glass at his as- ®ailant and shivered it in his face. Then the fight became general, and when they took John out of the saloon to the City D.s- pensary Dr. Thompson had to sew up a razor gash that reached from the top of his head to the tip of his nose.

HE HASTILY SOUGHT RELIEF, Came to St. Louis to Get Work and Took Ten Grains of Morphine After He Failed to Get a Job, A young man, a guest at the Laclede whose name is on the register as Hotel, A. Willimar of Detroit, Mich., went to the theater Monday evening. When he returned to his room about midnight he swallowed 8 cents worth of morphine and went to bed, = When he was called Tuesday at 9:30 o’clock he was surprised that he was not dead. Then he didn’t want to die. He couldn’t take time to put on a shirt. He hustled into a red sweater and with his coat over his arm ran out of the hotel in Search of a drug store. Down Chestnut street he went and then down Broadway, until he pulled up in the drug store, in the Olympic Theater building. He told the clerk he had taken 35 cents worth of morphine, and wanted an antidote. Phe drug clerk telephoned for “an am- bulance, and Willimar was taken to the City Dispensary. Dr Kearney pumped hm out and was much surprised when told how much of the drug the patient had taken. At the Dispensary the subject gave his name as Walter Eiphingsione, 23. vears of age, and gaid his home was in ‘ps mphis, Tenn, He arrived in St. Louis Mu.day, in search of work. He applied at many places, but was unable to find anything to do. After supper he was very despondent, He thought he would be just as well off dead and took the morphine. It was the first time he had ever taken the drug and he took a lot of it to make a sure job. He read in the papers that one grain of mor- phine would kill a man. He took ten grains. The size of the dose saved him. After he was pumped out at the dispen- sary he was forwarded to the City Hos- pital for observation and treatment. He promised, if he got well, to go back to Memphis in two days. The doctors say he will get well, At the hotel the man in known as A. Willimar, He registered there Monday as from Detroit and was seen only at supper time and when he came in shortly after midnight. ‘Tuesday the hotel porter tried to rouse him. Frequent knocks on the door brought no response. The porter opened the door — a prss key. Willimar was sitting at . open window in his underclothes fast asieep. A fall from the window meant death in_ the street below. nae porter pulled the sleeping man out canger and left him on the bed. He thought he was drunk.

CHAPTER IU. ” “THE SHADOW OF A CRIME. At the words, Burke's presence of mind re- turned. Resistance, flight, explanations would, he knew, alike be useless. “Vey well,” hy said, coolly. “Don't bandcuf me. I'll come along quietly. And. by the way, officer——”’ “I may as well tell you,”’ interrupted the po- liceman, “that anything you say now is liable to be used against you later on.” Burke nadded and was silent. The policeman summoned aid, gave the body in charge of a brother bluecoat, and then marched Duncan Burke to the Sixth District Police Sta- tion. Schwartz, meanwhile. disappeared. Much to Burke's disgust, the sergeant at the desk refused to accept his explanations, and he was locked up over night in an ill-smelling ceil. He was permitted, however, to dispatch two notes, one to the commandant at Jefferson Bar- racks, and another to a prominent lawyer of his acquaintance. Then he tr.ed to while away the night ag, bes: he ould. Before morning affairs had taken another turn, Not only had the commandant of Jefferson Bar- racks come forward with a statement as to Capt, Burke's character, but the fugit.ve Melrose had been seen by several Witnesses,at various dis- tances from the spot where the murder was com- mitted, running like mad and still clutching the giass dagger. He had been pursued at one point and had dropped the weapon, which was now in the hands of the police. Burke to!d a straightforward story of the oc- currence, withholding only Melrose’s name. He was honorably discharged by the police, and left the Four Courts a free man, His heart, however, was heavy as lead, The police were on Melrose’s track. The fata] weapon was in their possession. H!s friend's capture seemed imminent, and then what could save Clare and her parents from ever- lasting disgrace? Of George's guilt doubt. With a hope of learning something more con- cerning his friend, he returned to the Four Courts that morning and called on Chief Harrigan. He was ushered in by Secretary Jim Espy. To his surprise, the Chief greeted him with some cordiality. It did not occur to Burke unt!) afterward that the clever official might have done so with the idea of draw ng him out, “Well, Captain,” began the Chief, “I trust you're none the worse for our n.ght’s hospitality. I hope you understand the police were simply carrying out their duty.” Burke assured the Chief that he felt no {ll ef. fects from his imprisonment, and renewed his re- quest for further news as to the fugitive. “Luckily,” replied Chief Harrigan, “I can give you a little information—some rather s:nguiar in- formation that I think will be of interest to you.

The Board of Public Improvements has recommended that the new city lighting contract shall be let to an electric lighting company for a term of fifteen years, begin- ning January 1, 1900. Chairman Holman of the Light and Street Committee submitted the ordinance. He says it is in exact accord with the City Counrselor’s recent opinion. It was handed to the secretary to be transmitted to the Assembly. “That is the only ordinance the com- mittee has to offer,’’ remarked Mr. Colby, significantly. “Qh, no,” replied Mr. Colman, “I have here An ordinance providing for the city to be lighted by incandescent gas iamps for the same term of years and fixing the estimate at $400,000 for the first year, but I presume under the. Counselor’s opinion we can only send down one ordinance -at a time. If the Assembly rejects this e.ec- tric light ordinance we have got the gs plan on tap and can shoot it at once.” The board was. smarting under the re- strictions placed on it by the Counselor’s opinion.* It shuts off all competition on a contract which involved $6,000,000. Mr. Holman near the end of the session suggested that the City Counselor tell the Board once for al] if it would be legal for it to send down two ord.nances, one for electrictty and the other for gas. were passed the Board couid advertise for bids. It would be a contest between elec- tricity and gas, and the result would be a cheaper rate to the people. Mr. Marshall sald both ordinances could be introduced. The one passed first would be the law. The Board decided to send in only the electric light ordinance. It follows: Section 1. The Board of Public Improvements is hereby authorized and directed to cause the streets, alleys and public places of the city of St. Louls, north of Keokuk street, to be lighted by mieads of arc and incandescent electric lainps for a term of tifteen years, from Jan. 1, 1900, to Dec. 31, 1914, inclusive. Sec, 2. The streets, alleys and public places of the city perth of Keokuk street shail be lighted from fifteen minutes after sunset and remain lighted until thirty minutes before sun- rise every day in the year. Sec. 3. The amount of bond required on the contract for lighting shall be five hundred thou- sand dollars. Sec. 4.

The ordinance js expected to have its first reading to-night. TWELFTH STREET WIDENING. The Ordinance Adopted Provides for a Fine Thoroughfare. The Board of Public Improvements adop- ted an ordinance Tuesday for the widening of Twelfth street, thirty-five feet on each side, from Washington avenue to. §t. Charles street, A bitter fight is thus opened in the Municipal Assembly. The ordinance involves the expenditure of about $250,000 by the city in damages to property owners if the ordinance is adopted. The property belongs to three or four large real estate owners. Because of the agitation of the widening of the street for five years they have not made any efforts to improve their property, ‘tis said. The street is to be repuired with asphalt, the Grant statue is to be moved to Wash- | ington Square and the street car tracks re- set in the middle of it, and it is the purpose of the Board to make that portion of Twelfth street the finest thoroughfare in the city. The Board formally rese’nded the contract of Anderson Bros. for the De Hodlamont sewer, PROPERTY QWNERS TRIUMPH. Can Build Their Own Granitoid Walks Under Ordinance Restrictions.

The petitioners in August last, after the passage of an ordinagce which required a idewalk to be constructed in front of their roperty, applied to the general ordinances.

INQUEST ON MOTHER AND CHILD Sallie Jackson Was Delirious, So Cor- oner Wait Decides. Coroner Wait held an inquest Tuesday on the bodies of Sallie Jackson and her baby, who figured in the tragedy at 4312 Laclede avenue Monday morning. The evidence established the fact that the unfortunate mother killed the child while in delirium,and that her own death resulted from shock. In conducting the examination, Dr. Wait | was disposed to be somewhat severe upon Dr. Stevens, who attended the girl and who advised her removal to the City Hospital Dr. Stevens explained that there was no possibility of her having recovered even if she had not been moved. He said he thought she would receive better treatment at the hospital than she could have re- ceived at the house. CURES HEADACHE IN 10 MINUTES Parker’s Headache Powders, safe and sure, 10c.
