When the election returns showed that the Con-' servatives had elected their candidate for Mayor, Dr. John D. Wilson, and had se- cured a majority in the Council, the vic- tors, with some 2,000 supporters, adjourned to the Otty Hall to listen to the promises or the newly elected executive, The hall was jammed to the doors. Peo- ple were standing in the windows, seats on the stairs and the floor of the ‘hall wae packed. The speeches had gone along for an hour, and about 10 o’clock the small platform on which the new Mayor and his Cabinet were seated was the center of at- traction, Barrister Richard Toothe was loudly called for, and despite many protestations on his part, was pushed forward. to the platform, Suddemy there was a crackling from the platform on which the speakers of the even- ing were seated. The platform geemed to pitch forward, the floor around it gave way and down through the floor 200 persons were hurled to death. Crashing down upon che heads of the doomed ones came a huge safe and an iron steam coil. Jagged beams and timbers from the broken floor were hurled down upon the mass of hu- manity. Seen from above, all seemed strug- gling for life, like the crew of a_ sinking vessel. Some of those least injured dragged themselves p° ‘fully to the walls and en- deavored to reach the floor from which they had fallen. Down in the pit lay scores of mo- tionless figures. Many lads, who had climbed behind the Mayor’s chairas a place of vant- age, were among the victims. Within twenty seconds the hall was cleared, and as a few white-faced specta- tors who had not rushed to the street strag- gled back into the hall and gazed down into the abyss the sight was terrible. Men cursed and prayed, wept and laughed in delirium of terror, all the while struggling to disentangle themselves from the network of beams and girders which surrounded them and crushed them to their doom. Fighting and struggling in the pit fran- tic men beat down those weaker, and made of their bodies a stepping-stone to safety. A couple of the cooler-headed, among them Alderman Robert Carrothers, a giant in stature, endeavored to restrain the frantic crowd. Bleeding from os wounds, his clothes torn and hanging from his, back Carrothers shouted for room, and refused to move until a boy who lay in front of him had been saved. Others showed equal heroism, but in general many thought only of themselves. The fall from the floor above the Mayor's office was about 2 feet. Tne weight of the falling mass crashed through the tlooce of the Mayor’s office, underneath, and through into the cellar. The greater portion of the dead were taken from tre cellar, having been instantly killed by the fall. The Fire Department, police and ambulance corps were quickly on the scene ana organized in the work of rescuer. The agijacent buildings were extempor'zed into hospitals and r-orgues. The committee rooms of the defeated canuidate for the may- oralty, just opposite the city hall, were brought into use, ind from all paris of the city doctors were hurried. The city hos- pitas were crow-led with the wounded. It was after midnight before any authorita- tive list of the dend could be secured. Then the worst fears hal been realize. The unfortunate comprised “he best-known men of the city, an] were of all classes. City Engineer Graydon stgtes that the cause of the accident was tHe break'ng of the heavy beam which ran beneath the floor almost at the center of the space which gave way. The beam broke in the center, throwing all the people standing within a large space into one mass. The engineer did’ not consider the ‘hal] dan- gerous, and says that the tremendous weight simply caused the beam to snap. The ¢nquest was begun to-day, but no evidence will be taken until after the funer- als of the victims. The hearing of the case of the Sedalia Board of Trade vs. Hugh Brady to recover $1,200 given to the defendant to be used in the interest of the capital removal amend- ment voted on at the November, 1896, elec- tion, was begun before Judge Klein in Di- vision No, 1 of the Circuit Court Tuesday morning. . The court-room had the appearance of a ward meeting. All the witnesses and most of the spectators were politicians and ward workers. Among the witnesses summoned were: . EF. Brady, Nicholas H. Griffin, Thomas J. Bradshaw, William J. Fiynn, John F. Roach, Isaac Conran, George Gon- zales and Pat J. Sullivan. All but one of these were members of the Democratic City Committee, and they were the men among whom Mr. Brady deposed he had divided the money to be used by them for the pur- poses it was given to him. A singular fea- ture was that all of these were subpoenaed by both sides. The other witnesses were: Robert Fox, Frank K. Ryan, A..C. Cantley, Edwin Harrison, Charles D. McLure, An- drew F. Blong,: James P. Farrell, Col. Ed Butler, who gave the $1,200 to Brady, and Senator Yeater of !Sedalia, who gave the money to Col. Butler. Just one woman was presenti in the court room and she looked very lonesome. Senator Yeater was on hand early, ac- cempanied by Sterling P. ond. Hugh Brady was the last to appear. He came in at 10:20 o'clock, after court was in séssion, but before his case was called. He was represented by Tom Rowe and E. A. B. Gapesche. John A. Blevins and Ae - O’Brien appeared for the Sedalia Board o? Trade. It was 10:45 before the motion docket was disposed of and the case of the Sedalia Board of Trade vs. Hugh J. Brady called, An ‘hour was then consumed .by counsel on both sides in questioning the jury panel of eighteen, from which the jury was to be selected, The jury finally agreed upon was as fol- tows: Samuel Blumenthal, Adolph Boeckler Benjamin Heitzman, Joseph P. Lill, Paul Pritzlaff, Harry L. Rask, William. A. Schroeder, Louis H. Scherman, Joseph Stunr, Charles Sumner, Jacob Wensler, Frank O. Foerster. Mr. Blevins opened the case by reading the petition of the plaintiff corporation. Shorn of its legal verbiage it simply set forth that on Oct. 28, 1896, under representa- tions made by defendant that as Chairman of the Democratic City Committee he could and would use h'‘s influence in the interest of the capital removal amendment, Charles IE. Yeater and Edward Butler had given him $1,200 to be, used in advertising and pay.ng the legitimate expenses incident to pushing ‘tthe amendment; that defendant, Brady, had appropriated this money to his own use, whereupon this suit for the recovery of the monex, with interest from Oct. 28, 1896, was instituted. Mr. Garesche replied in a_e sentence that the defendant’s answer was a general derial. The question raised by the defense last week in a-demurrer setting forth that the Sedalia Board of Trade was not a char- tered corporation, and therefore could not sue or be sued, was dropped, Mr. Garesche stating that on investigation he had found the board was duly chartered. Mr. Blevins addressed the jury, outlining his case. The defense deferred ites reply. Then Mr. Garesche made another effort to have the case dismissed without a trial, on a technicality. His point was that Hugh Brady, as chair- man of the Democratic City Committee, oc- cupied only the position of a trustee, and that ae such a court of law had no power or jurisdiction to try the case. Judge Klein promptly overruled the ob- jection, stating that the petition made out a prima facie case; that it set forth that Hugh Brady had received certain moneys ior certain purposes. Mr. Grresche excepted to the ruling. He also asked for a formal ruling again on the demurrer introduced in December, setting forth that the suit was against public policy, as the money was to be used for corrupt purposes. This was done merely to have the exception noted. Ex-State Senator Charles E. Yeater was the first witness. He testified that he dis- cussed the capital removal amendment with Hugh Bredy in the presence of Col. Ed Butler. Mr. Brady said he was in favor of Bernhard Schmitt, the hermit of South Third street, is no more, During the night he killed himself.

Then the board cited the Coun- cil to the Keyes’ ordinance for its authority in the premises. At 3 o'clock the board met in special ses- sion and immediately adjourned to pay 11s annual New Year’s call on the Mayor. J. B. KELLOGG SURRENDERS. Members of the Dean Company Giving Themselves Up.

Butler thought a man should be appointed in each ward, to be recommended by the committeeman, to explain to the voters the amendment and to work for it. It was suggested that about $50 to each of the twenty-eight wards would cover the expenses. In Brady’s pres- ence, the witness gave Col. Butler a check for $1,400, which Brady agreed to distribute in accordance with Col. Butler’s plan. On cross examination by Tom Rowe, witness said Brady did. not mention the names of those among whom he would distribute the money. Mr. Rowe asked witness if anything was said about the payment of $5,000 in the event of the amendment éarrying.

In the meantime, while his wife still had the title to the property, Witte wanted to raise some money. He joined his wife in the execution of a deed of trust to Nathan Frank, trustee, to secure Montague Punch, to whom certain notes were made. Matters were left in this shape until Feb- ruary, 1897, when at the instance of his wife Witte was apprehended and taken to the St. Louis Insane Asylum, where he has remained ever since.

oo ee ee? ih ATCH—J ANUARY, i“ 1898. inti : SRP, HEARING 1S DENIED, resident Meier’s Mandamus Again Passed On. WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT. JUDGE BIGGS WRITES AN OPIN- ION, DISSENTING FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS. Ce eeieenenan anaemia \UDGE BLAND FOR THE COURT. t Is Believed the Mandamus Will Be Knocked Out When the Case Reaches che Highest Court of the State. The North and South Rallway franchise trabbers may yet be defeated in their ef- orts to compel President Meier of the Coun- il to sign the North and South Railroad Jill, so that it may become a law. On the last decision day of the Court of Appeals two of the judges, Bond and Bland, reversed Judge Valliant when he denied the application for a writ of mandamus against President Meier to compel him to sign the bill; Judge Biggs dissented from the opinion of the other two and held that the writ should not be granted. The majority pre- vailed, however, and it looked as though the bill would have to be signed, after all. A motion for a rehearing was filed in the "ase and argued by brief. This motion has been overruled by the same two Judges who decided that President Meler must — the bill. Judge Biggs again dissents from ‘their opinion, and holds the authorities they cite jo not apply to the case at bar. He asks that it be certified up to the Supreme Court: “Under the rule a case can go up upon the request of any one of the Judges, so the whole subject is now reopened, and it will rest with the Supreme Court to decide whether Mr. Meier must sign the North and South Railroad bill. Judge Biggs, In his opinion, which sends the case to the Supreme Court, says: “It is conceded that in the performance of their official functions the legislative of- ficers of the Sfate are not subject to the control of the gourts. This necessarily fol- lows from thd reasoning of the Supreme Court in the case of State ex rel. Robb vs. Stoné. Counsel for the respondent insists hat the majority opinion in the present case s opposed to the decision of the Supreme (‘ourt in the case cited, If there is no sub- stantial difference between the General As- Sembly of the State and the Municipal As- sembly of the city in respect to the making of jaws, thon, in my op _nion, the contention f wsei is well founded. fy on I wrote the dissentin tert ned some doubt as to the propost!t- mn, jr if I had been satisfied that the stim_cion did not exist I would then have opinion I WOMANS LETTER TO WOMEN Written as Only One Woman Can Write to Another.

In’ May, 1894, an ab- scess formed. I lay at the point of death for days, given up, not only by my at- tending physician, but by two others that were called in. They said that if I did recover from that attack, it would only be to be a helpless invalid the rest of my life. During that time I suffeted with sleeplessness, was nervous and weak and was losing my memory. I also had heart trouble.

Judge Biggs cites a number of'concurrent pinions on that point, and then says: “Under the foregoing authorities it is set- led that the General Assembly of the State aay delegate to the legislative bodies of mu- cipal corporations the right to enact local aws or ordinances, and that such 6rdinances tave locally the force and effect of acts of she Legislature. The Legislature has dele- sated this authority to the Municipal As- sembly of the city of St. Louis, and the ‘harter throws around this legislative body ill of the constitutional safeguards against 1asty legislation, In its organization and node’of enacting laws it is the exact coun- #rpart of the Legislature itself, As some of the cases state it, it is in fact, a minia- ture legislature. . . “Now if officers of the Legislature as to (their legislat.ve functions are beyond the control of the courts, by what show of rea- son can it be said the officers of the sub- ordinate body (to which the legislature has delegated a portion of its powers) are with-. in —— control? _ “The answer to this must be tha Munic'pal Assembly, in the Sandtanent fot laws, exercises within its sphere the func- ions of the legislative branch of the gov- ‘rnment, and that its officers, in the d's- ‘harge of their legislative duties. like the ge rs of the Leg slature itself, are beyond he Interference of the courts. a Hence I am of the opinion that the ‘Ge- dsion in this case ‘s opposed to that in the >ase of State vs. Stone, supra, and for that Nowe geen te ne aren to the Supreme ; a etermin shat this be done."’ ee SAS Sank Judge Bland. i ‘ rehearing, aoe. n his opinion refusing a “The attempt to dignify the offi - dent of the Council of the City of Bt. prawn with that of Governor of the State of Mis.

For Dr. Greene’s Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy will cure any sufferer who reads these lines just as surely as it did hér. It is the greatest boon womankind-has ever known and makes women strong and well, perfectly and completely curing their female weak- ness and disease. Dr. Greene’s Nervura is the prescrip- tion of Dr. Greene of 148 State street, ‘Chicago, Ill., the most successful physi- cian in curing thgse complaints, and he may be consult absolutely free, per- sonally or by letter. T streets cannot be cleaned or improved; the sanitary department cannot be maintained; the city’s charitable institutions cannot be kept up; the officers of the city cannot be paid their salaries and fees; money can- not be had without a b‘ll appropriating it, and the bill cannot become an ordinance without the signature of the President of the Council. “The contention that the Speaker exer- cises a legislative function by signing a bill is not tenabie. When he calls up a bill, suspends all other business that the bill may be read, and if no objections are made that he may sign it to the end that it may become an ordinance, and the bill is read and no objections are made by the Speaker or any member of the House, the functions of legislation on that bill in the Council are exhausted. How can it be said that the President, in signing a bill, exercises a legislative function when the duty is man- datory, as was held in State ex rel. ys. Meade, supra? A legislative act requires the exercise of judgment, volition and dis- cretion; a mandatory act is one which the party must do, is eompelied by law to do, for the same reason the act is not judicial, for it cannot be both judicial and manda- tory. Hence he cannot look behind the bill or t journal to determine for himself whether the charter has been complied with in the passage of the bill. In affixing his signature to the bill he is the attesting and certifying officer of the Council. The sig- nature of the presiding officers of the two Houses, with the approval of the Mayor indorsed thereon, is made the evidence of the fact that the bill has passed the two houses, received the approval of the Mayor and is an ordinance and no further authen- tication or evidence of the fact {8 required. The purpose subserved by his signature is to attest and authenticate. This he must do when the Council passes a bill and whenever he refuses to perform this min- isterial duty mandamus is the appropriate remedy. “The motion for a rehearing, with the concurrence of Judge Bond, is denied.”’ MAJ.

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Jan. 4.—While the around the fireplace in their home on South College street in this city a stick of woe#® was thrown on to replenish the fire. Almost {nstantly there was a terrible explosion that shook the house like an earthquake. A per- fect broadside of bullets reigned from the fireplace. When the smoke cleared away and the damage was counted up it was found that every one of the family of five had been seriously wounded. Roseborough’s wife was shot in the neck and thigh. A 7-year-old child was shot in the stomach, An older child was badly wotinded in both shoulders. A younger one had his hand blown off and was shot in thé mouth. The other child was wounded in the eye, the bullet destroying the sight. It is thought that thirty -bullets were discharged from the log. A near-by woodyard has suffered from numerous thefts lately, and it is sup- posed the log was loaded to catch the thieves. The offense of preparing an infer- nal machine is a penal offense in this State, but it is almost impossible to prove who fixed the loaded log. GEO. TAYLOR'S MURDERERS.

The Whole Matter to Be Tried Soon by a Jury. CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—Judge Kohlsaat has admitted the will of John B. Ketcham to record. The lawyers for the Ketcham hers announced that they did not desire to con- test the question of .the admission of the will to probate at this time, and simply asked for an appeal for the formal order of the Probate Court admitting the instrument to record. Ths was allowed and the mat- ter will come up again in the regular course in the Circuit Court, where, before a jury, the entire question of the mental ca- pacity of Mr. Ketcham to make a will can be brought up. The matter of an appoint- ment of an admin -strator to care for the estate was discussed, but the court con- tinued this phase of the case until Jan. 19. A JEWELRY STORE ROBBERY.

A New Industry for St. Louis. St. Louis is to be the center of a new I!n- dustry, the manufacture of calcium carbide. This remarkable mineral is composed -of lime and coke, two cheap materials exist- ing everywhere in abundance. In the elec- tric furnace they are fused together, and form calcium carbide. Carbide turns water instantly into a gas of exquisita beauty— a light like the sun—called acetylene. Car- bide can be used for every kind of lamp, for the bicycle lamp, table lamps, street car lamps, carriage lamps, house lighting and town lighting. Its use is absolutely universal and this material will be manu- factured and sold in immense quantities. Owing to the extremely cheap production of carbide, the public may rightfully expect the owners of these patents to lower the price of carbide when their works are fully established. This will be a great blessing to the community, not only in the way of cheap light, but one of extraordinary beauty and of great hygienic value, as it consumes only one-sixth as much oxygen as coal gas. This light is being rapidly introduced ‘throughout the entire civilized world. The streets of Vienna,’ Paris and Berlin ilius- trate this fact. The Chicago Gas Trust has /acquired these rights for Chicago and Gas Trust No. 2 controls the rights of Greater New York. The railroads are beginning to use it for headHghts for their engines, and they are lighting street cars with it in Chicago. It is undoubtedly the coming il- luminant, MISSOURI SUPREME COURT.

But it is really the pic- ture of a “medium,” W. A. Wilkinson of Boston, Mass., and is the result of only the the ordinary photo- graphic processes. The picture was taken by the Boston Camera Club in _ 1889, long before the discov- ery of the X-ray pho- tography processes. It was taken asa test of Mr. Wilkinson's spirit- ualistic claims. As may be seen the back of the chair on which he sat is plainly visible through him. The photograph is owned by William P. Norris of Fort Ann, N. PROVERBIAL AND OTHERWISE. Slumberland is full of corner lots for dream- bul'ders, astles in Spain are cheaply maintained, as the taxes are on the iMagination only. It is safe to open no credit account with the man who has none with himself. Frequently a man is known by the dollars he doesn’t keep. It is just as well to let Patience do some smiling before she reaches the monument stage. Besides the seven ages of man_there is the age of reason which many of us néver reach.

The Scientific American describes a new diving dress, known as the Buchanan-Gordon diving dress, patented in-Australia and just tried with great success on the Clyde. The most important part of the dress is the helmet, which descends to the waist in one solid piece of copper and weighs no less than 2% cwt., While the dress weighs 5 cwt. | v | ia, The arms and lower part of the dress consist of a ‘series of spiral springs covered with waterproof ma- terial, which at the same time gives strength and mobility. These springs are made of Delta metal— a phosphor bronze of immense strength. By a se- ries of ingenious arrangements the suit can be adjusted to the height of the diver. With this dress, we are told, a diver descended 31 fathoms, or 186 feet, and remained at that depth 50 minutes, subjected to a pressure of more than $8) pounds to the square inch, yet on coming up he was quite fresh. - NOT NECESSARILLY.

THE HOD CARRIERS OF THE PYRAMIDS, Kings, with pride as high as heaven aspiring, Boasting that their glory, deathless, should. abide, Drove their myriad slaves to work the vain desir- ing Of the shamefu! soul that rules in kings with pride. So by to'l of common men who slaved and died, Rose the pyramids to give their’ tyrants glory That no mist of years should e’er avail to hide! But Tima laughing, shook in scorn his tresses hoary— Laughing, spat contempt on royal pride! _ Wiping soon rémembranceé of their » story, Time bade work of common men abide Till a ransomed worid shall count its chiefest glory, ° Manhood’s foot set on the neck of lordly pride.

George: He gave mea broad forcible hint to the effect that I couldn’t have you. Dolly: But you didn’t tumble, did you? George: No, I had the good fortune to light on my feet. Dolly: , Oh, isn’t it too bad! for. George: It’s lucky that you don’t have to. Dolly: Oh, oh, but you aren't sore, are you? George: Not sore? What do you take me for, a cast iron mdn? Bue oe Dolly: Dear me, you don’t understand me. I mean you don’t feel bad, do you? Gecrge: No, I don’t feel bad; in fact, I feel very good, that is, it is very easy for me to feel. Dolly: Oh, what shall we do—what shall you do? George: I know what I'll do, all right; I'll go and take boxing lessons for a month and then Ill do that dear papa of yours; that’s what I'll do.” (Exit George in rage, leaving Dolly in tears.) What But I can feel for THE DEATH-CUP MUSHROOM. The most poisonous fungus known is the so- called ‘‘death-cup” or Amanita mushroom, found in summer and autumn throughout the greater part of the United States; It may be reeognized by the characteristic cup - shaped appendage around the base. Says Mr. Chestnut of the United States Department of Agriculture: “In the United States it is said that as Many as twen- ty-five deaths during the summer of 1998 were due to some species of .Amanita. ‘The amount of the sub- stance of th's fungus which is necessary to pro- duce death is very small. The third part of a medium » sized uncooked cap is said DEATH-CUP. to have proved fatal to a boy 12 years of age and smaller amounts have affected older persons very seriously. Even the handling of specimens and the hreathing of the spores have apparently given rise to very pronounced uneasiness. POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. There is now no longer a doubt “something the matter with Hanna. To the Ohio Legislature Mr. Hanna may well ex- claim, ‘‘A plague on both your houses!”’ Shall it be the light of Day in Ohio, or shall it be Cal. Brice’s red head that will bob up? It is asserted that French cooks do not know how to bake beans or create a codfish ball. How is any French cook to Mold h's job in Boston? With one family in every fourteen in the United States drawing a‘pension, there is a possibility of acquiring the remaining thirteen before the new century comes in. Miss Willard fainted at the close of her lecture, “A White Life for Two,’’ in Wisconsin. Doubtless there were some masculine sinners in the ‘crowd who also felt a Itttle faint. Immeér Reisefestig Wilhelm may yet journey to the American continent, It would enable him to pehold how many of his people have left the Fatherland because of the unfatherly system over there. The Salvation Army food distributors should cor- respond with Emperor William, who has killed 14 - 183 rabbits. Rabbit hunting for the benefit of city poor would be a pretty royal recreation for all the crowned heads. The Fusion Question. From thé New Madrid (Mo.) Record. The position taken by the Governor will be ifn- dorsed by the Democratic press generally. The Democratic party in Missouri is not a minority party; if it were, fusion would then likely be all right. If adopted now in a Democratic State it would be required of the party in every Demo- cratic county in the State, and the party would have to compromise its principles at every elec- tion with some warring faction in order to quiet it. No fusion on the State ticket in Missouri. _— eS From the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. Perhaps Gov. Stephens has figured it that he can be elected to the United States Senate without fusion. Perhaps so. From the Madison (Mo.) Times. 7 Gov. Stephens is opposed to fusion; yet he warms the gubernatorial chair because of the fusion brought about one year ago. Smart men change thelr minds—after they are elected. From the Poplar Bluff (Mo.) Citizen. Does the chairman of the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee presume that the Democratic party is so frail in Missouri that it is necessary for it to go about groping in the dark for a fusion prop? “Nit,” Sam. HER HAND. Together at the twilight hour We sat benéath the August moon, Which stirred our souls with mystic -power And brought the parting all too soon. iA'h, love that night was in the land— Dear love, that Smiles for you and me And as her angel face I scanned And sighed anon, impatiently, I held her hand. Again we sat. The cards were deait:* I had two pairs and madé a bluff: .Bhe stayed, Pethaps &@ mouse she sme't. At least she captured all the stuff. I saw her raise and called her hand; She held four aces—I stood pat; But when those winning I scanned, Oh, how I wished to that . k eals ber tana! that there is. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. (This column is open to everybody who has a complaint to make, a grievance to ventilate, infor- mation to give or a subject of general interest to discuss, or a public service to acknowledge, and who can put the idea into less than 100 words.) The Anti-Kissing Crusade. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see that some of the doctors have been telling your readers that kissing is dangerous to health. They say it is ikely tu spread disease. They would have us all stop it. Perhap#™they will advocate a law to punish kissers. I believe that a genuine kiss, mutually enjoyed by kisser and kissee, carries with it a powerful current of vital foree, which stimulates in a wholesome manner both parttes to the osculatory egercise. I believe that the increase or interchange of vitality in the process would counteract any disease ten- dency and kill any injurious baeteria present. What do other Post-Dispatch readers say? At any Frate, I propose to act on this theory whenever the occa- sion offers. ANTI-CRANK, St. Louis. A Jimson Weed for a Christmas Tree. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. We are two widows living alone In a little hut we call our own; We wanted to have a Christmas trée, But how to do it couldn't well sée, As times were hard and we were in need, So we made our tree of a jimson weed, And named it with much sincerity McKinley’s tree of Prosperity, For he promised so much and gave so little, That we are in a bouillon kettle. If I were boss of these here States, We should all eat candy and swing on the gates. A 15-YEAR-OLD READER. Non-Resident Teachers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you please let me know why it i# that we have to go to New York, Iowa and other States to get teachers for our public schools? I personally know several who live outside of the city and State who get the biggest wages, and as soon as vacation ccmes they march home with their year’s savings and spend them before returning, as I have heard them say when returning in September: “Well, I came back broke as usual.”’ One special kindergar- ten teacher who lives in lowa is now home sick. Her place is kept open for her until she returns, and her salary is $15 per month. I can give you her name if it is wanted, but if you inquire at head- quarters you will find much on this line thatethe people should know about. St. Louis. A DAILY READER. Will the Water Commissioner Attend to This? To the Kaditor of the Post-Dispatch, In behalf of the property owners living south of Old Manchester road, between Ivanhoe and Tamm avenues, I wish to complain of the laying of city water pipes down a private street (owned and put through by one individual) regarditess of the peti- tions and pleadings of a score of property owners fo have the pipes laid down the city street (Old Manchester road, befween Ivanhoe and Tamm avenues), which was only @ short distance away. The laying of the water pipes down this private street is depriving a number of taxpayers of their rights, for to reach the main pipe they will be compelled to tunnel through a part of the property belonging to the owner of the private street, which could only be done with his consent, to ohtain and use the water for which they are taxed. The property ownefs living éouth of Old Manches- ter read are very wroth over this injustice, and the ment this has been disproved. We had a demonstra- tion of the disadvantage of not having the city water availablé for the residents south of Old Man- . chester road in the complete destruction of the con- tents and house of Wm. Loring by fire early yester- day morning. We residents living south of Old Manchester road appeal to the citizens and taxpayers to have what we evidently consider an injustigp rectified. St. Louis. M. L. BUCHANAN. Forest Park Boulevard. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I address you because the Post-Dispatch is fore- most in pushing things of interest to the city for eur citizens. This is an inquiry and a reminder, too, that the only street of the city designated as a boulevard is partly finished and part of it is a regular country mud road and at times tt- terly impassable. Forest Park boulevard ig left to languish from Boyle eastward. This was originally degigned to be made a boulevard; it gught to be completed. What say you? There are some of the streets In the West End called boulevards, but they are not; they are streets the same as all! oth- ers. Forest Park boulevard from Boyle on west Is a boulevard; it ought to be finished to the end of it, or at least as far as Vandeventer avenue. St. Louis. N. CHURCHILL. LITERARY NOTES, A new book, entitled “Millions of Bubbles,” by Gertrude Atherton, the author of “Patience Spar- hawk,"’ is now in press. It is proposed to issue Scandinavian, Dutch, Yal- ian, Spanish and even Greek supplements to Cos- mopolis during the year: ' The next book from the pen of Robert Barr is to be entitled “Mediaeval Tales,”’ and is announced for publication in February. The January Outing is the holiday number of this best of sporting publications. The richly col- ored cover is suggestive of merry times out of doors, and the number fs filled with seasonable and readable sketches of sport, in many lands. In the January Arena Augustus L. Mason, ex- President of the Citizens’ Street Rallroad Company, Indianapolis, makes a strong argument for mu- nicipal proprietorship, but contends that profits from public service go only to the tax-payers and not to the mass of citizens, and that public utill- ties should be run at cost. Jonas Stadling, a Stockholm journalist, sends to the January Century a fac simile of an undoubted message from Andree, sent by earrier pigeon, Mr. Stadling had charge of the pigeons at Dane's Iatand, while Andree was waiting for a favorable wind. He contributed to the November Century an ac- count 6f “Andree’s Flight Into the Unknown.” The second half of “Who Will Exploit China?’ which appears in the January International, deals principally with the part Japan will take In the coming struggie for the biggest share of old Chi- na's wealth. The author, Rene Pinon, considers that Germany’s aims will result In little, and that even Rusia will have at least to consider little Japan in the matter. * From Charles Scribner's Sons, through John L.

Experts Like Stuart, Kennedy, Siler | and Masterson Think Fitz Should Give Corbett Another Chance. The burning question of the hour in the Sporting world is: “Should Fitzsimmons fight again?’ There are many answers and the sporting world is busily discussing the question. The majority of those who are interested in fighting believe that Fitzsimmons should meet Corbett. Many also insist that Mc- Coy has a right to battle at the middle- weight limit. To get’ the opinions all over the country the Post-Dispatch wired east, west, north and south. To-day the views of many men widely known in the sporting world are published. Corbett has friends by the score, and Mc- Coy many friends who see in him the man that is to take the measure of both Cor- bett' and Fitzsimmons. Corbett Out of all those who have wired the Post- , Dispatch, there is but a small percentage who say Fitzsimmons should not give Cor- bett another chance to win the champion- ship. It is interesting to read what the differ- @€nt men say to the questions: “Do you believe Fitzsimmons should fight Corbett again?’ Cor? you believe that he should fight Mc- 8) » ed oon of the answers which come by spe- a wire. to the Post-Dispatch follow: EW YORK, Jan. 4.—Dan Stuart: I think Fitzsimmons shou!d meet Corbett «again, and I believe he will at an early date. I don’t think McCoy should have first chance. Jack Dougherty: Fitzsimmons should take on McCoy first. The young fellow is a wonder. ; Jim Kennedy: I think Corbet should have another chance. Fitzsimmons is going to havea hard time avoiding a return match, Charlie White: It looks like a cinch that Fitzsimmons will meet Corbett again. And Jim will whip him. Warren Lewis: I was a Corbett man the ut I guess Fitzsimmons is all right in standing him off. Al Smith: I think there will be another fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Yes, I believe Jim should have another chance. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 4.—C. H. Miles, instructor of the Birmingham Athletic. Club: Corbett’s reputation entitles him to another meeting with Fitzsimmons. He should fight Corbett before McCoy, but he should fight th. : CHICAGO, UL, Jan. 4.—Chicago followers of the pugilistic game are unanimous ‘in the a that Corbett and Fitzsimmons should fight again, but ere divided on the conditions made by the blacksmith, Parson Davies: I would like to see Jim and Bob have another go. Corbett’s class is sufficiently known for Fitzsimmons to take him on without papeens conditions. Col. John D, Hopkins: Fitzsimmons should give Corbett another chance without -the aher condition. George Siler: The public would like to eee the pair try it once more. i am of the belief that they will meet again. There does not seem to be much in the way of a meeting now if both are willing. George Hankins: Though the result of the Carson City fight was decisive, I would like to see Corbett get another chance. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.—Walter Camp- bell: Corbett should get the first fight. ' Hertaan F, Wolf, former amateur cham- lightweight wrestler: Fitzsimmons . Mas the right to dictate terms. He should / meet Corbett and not. McCoy, who is not in his class. Henry 8. Richardson: Corbett is cer- tainly right in trying to get on another -@ight with Fitzsimmons. believe that Corbett would win if the men met a second time. I hardly think that McCoy is in the Same class. Jack Fogarty: Fitzsimmons whi bett fairly and I do not see why he should meet him again. McCoy is a wonderfully clever fellow, but has not shown himself to in the same class as Fitzsimmons. Charlie McKeever: Fitzsimmons should give Corbett another chance. . Harry Harback: Jim should have the call ver McCoy. SOSTON, Jan. 4—Jimmy Colville: Fitz- amons should recognize McCoy or else linquish all claim to the middle-weight ampionship. He should give Corbett an- 1er chance. ‘rank Downs: Fitzsimmons is right out Corbett. He showed at Carson that rbett was not in his class. He ought to ,ot McCoy or yield the middle-weight iampionship. Tom Early: Fitzsimmons should by all sans give Corbett first chance after prom- ng to do so.

THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEN WILL NOT RE- LINQUISH COMMAND. A TALK WITH THE OFFICIALS. It Shows That the Sentiment Is Strong in Favor of Continuing in Con- trol of the Sport. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Rumorsscontinue to be circulated to the effect that the League of American Wheelmen contemplates giving up the contro] of cycle racing, says the Tribune to-day. The near approach of the annual meeting of the League at St. Louis is prob- ably the cause for the reopo.ing of the dis- cussion. Last year this sort of talk was indulged in for some time, but as soon as the dele- gates from the several States reached the place of meeting the general sentiment was so strong in favor of continuing control of the sport that nothing was done. Talks with various L. A. W. officials as well as racing men showed that the senti- in charge of racing was overwhelming. The sentiment was that the league should not onl continue to keep a sharp eye on racing, but that it should be even more strict than it had been. One of them put the case in this way: “When the L. A. W. abandons racing it will do much to deal a death blow to the sport. Under the auspices of the organiza- tion bicycle racing has come to the front as one of the most exciting pastimes and sports in the country. It has the confi- dence of the public and the sport has been honestly conducted. It would be a fatal mistake for both the league and racing if the two should be separated. If any syn- dicate should get control] of racing, it might make money fora time, but would, in time, I am convinced, kill the sport.’ COMPTON HEIGHTS QUOIT CLUB. It Is Ready to Meet Any Other Or- ganization of Its Kind. The Compton Hill Quoit Club claims to be the champion organization of its kind in St. Louis and stands ready to play any other quoit team in St. Louis, for money, chalk or marbles. Recently it held its annual election, which resulted in the election of. the following officers and members:* President, George Held; vice-president, L. Myer; corresponding secretary, Ben Carl Anschuetz; re- Kipp; members, George FF. J. Anschuetz, W. E. Beckman, Lonngan. Challenges sent in to the recording secre- tary will be attended to without delay. ; THE JAWSMITHS. Kid McCoy Has Joined the Army Who Talk, but Do Not Fight. Kid McCoy has fallen in line.

The date question for the coming racing season in the East is attraéting a little at- tention. There seems to be some grum- bling about the division, and the owners of the lesser institutions are trying to in- duce the governors to race five days each week on the tracks at Morris Park, Sheeps- head Bay and Gravesend. By doing this they claim the dates will go round comfor- tably without confliction. Saratoga is some- what of a stumbling block, as it would like racing without opposition. This is hardly probable, as New York would grow very stale if there was no racing for nearly a month in the midsummer season, Bookies in Good Luck. The bookies at Ingleside are just now hav- ing a run of good luck. On New Year's Day they took nearly $35,000 of the people's money. The victory of Marquise in the New Year Handicap poured thousands into the bookmakers’ cash boxes, Barney Schreiber alone being credited with a win- ning of $5,000 on the race. George Rose handled $20,000 in his book and quit a good winner on the day. Paul Ridley cleaned up ‘$2,000, nearly all of which he won on Marquise. Corbett’s Business Manager. Sam Thall, business ‘managér for Jim Corbett, is in town.

He Was the Man Who Bought the Re- leases of Foutz, Caruthers and Bushong Erom St. Louis. Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Charles H. Byrne, who was president of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, died tn this city this morning. Death was due to a complication of dis- eases. Mr. Byrne had been unconscious since Monday of last week and death had been expected. The history of modern base ball is con- temporaneous with the active life of Charles H. Byrne and to him has been given the credit for many of the features of the game which have given it its national char- acter. Mr. Byrne received his education at St. Francis Xavier’s College. After gradu- ation he engaged as a newspaper reporter. In 1883 he branched out as a ‘base ball man- ager, aS a member of the firm of Byrne, Taylor & Co., which organized the Brook- lyn Base Ball team and entered the Inter- State Ledgue. _ The Brooklyn Club joined the American Association in 1884. Mr. Byrne caused a sensation in 1885 when, having associated himself with Messrs, Abell and Doyle, he purchased the entire Cleveland League team, paying therefor the sum of $10,009, Byrne also secured Collins of Louisville and Burns of Baltimore, two crack outfield- ers. Even with this aggregation Byrne was not successful and in 1886 he bought out the entire Metropolitan team. This deal was quickly followed by the pur- chase of Dave Foutz, Bushong and Bob Ca.- ruthers from the St. Louis team for $20,000, Byrne's liberality and enterprise were re- warded by securing the pennant of the American Association in’ 1889, After this the Brooklyn club joined the League, when the Brotherhood revolt broke out. By his honesty and enterprise Mr. 3yrne made the American Association a power, and forced the National League to meet it half way in consolidation agree- ment, THE BOSTONIANS’ NEW OPERA. The overture is an excellent index to music, but not to the libretto of “‘The Sere- nade,”’ the Bostonians’ new opera, presented last night at the Century for the first time in St. Louis. It is a medley of jubilantiy churchly music, martial melodies and the gay dance measures of old Spain and through it all there is a thread of human love and passion. And so runs the score. The first act opens with a scene near a castle. A band of brigands is assembled for business purposes, The leader—Eugene Cowles—explains that he is a brigand one day and a Benedictine Monk the next, Then he telis about it In a song in which the monkish and the fighting spirit are blended. Mr. Macdonald is the next of the princi- pals toenter. He is disguised as a postil- ion, being Carlos Alvarado, a famous bari- tone singer, who is paying court to Dolores, ward of the Duke of Santa Cruz. He sings “The Serenade,’’ a love song, on which the plot of the opera hinges. This song bobs up as frequently as the waltz in ‘‘Nanon,” but it is not nearly so catchy. Mr. Barna- bee is the next of the principals shown, but he adds nothing to the musical plot. Mrs. Davis follows and merely accentuates the love theme. Alice Nielson completes the musical idea by skipping in made up as a ballet dancer in a-knee skirt and flesh- colored tights and caroling a few light airs that set her audience to thinking of merry maids and dancing by moonlight. The libretto is about the efforts of the Duke of. Santa Cruz to prevent Dolores from wedding Alvarado. He goes gunning for everyone he hears sing “The Serenade.” locks one singer in a’haunted castle and has a battle with brigands in the first act. In the second he places Dolores in an U'r- suline Convent, which’ is next door to a Benedictine monastery. The objectionable lover arranges to get into the monastery. Yvonne, the ballet-dancer, dons boy’s clothes and jo:ns the monks first. There is a door between the monastery and the nun- nery—after the convenient fashion of light opera—and Yvonne and D@ores Change “¥ ane: 4 a = RICHARD M. SCRUGGS, Pres.

Shares will be allotted in the order in which subscriptions are received. Orders accompanied by check, payable to the order of The Missouri Acetylene Company, may be placed with the depositories of the company— the Continental National Bank of St. Louis, the Kansas City State Bank, Kansas City, or mailed to the company. FORTY-FIVE PATENTS, Covering in every respect the making of calcium carbide and generation of Acetylene Gas, are relied on to give this company an absolute con- trol of Acetylene for the State of Missourl. SOURCES OF REVENUE: Gas Consumers in St. Louls now pay interest on over Twelve Million ($12,000,000) Dollars for the use of Gas, Acetylene Gas will yield much larger relative profits than Coal Gas, and it has in Missouri a clientage six times as large as the St. Louis Coal Gas District, Its exquisite beauty, its great economy, its facility of generation, its adaptation to lamps and house lighting, its superiority to other lights from the standpoint of hygiene and safety, its immense popularity wherever seen and known, assure its universal adoption. Its in- stallation is cheap and profitable. It is confidently believed that this stock is the most valuable ever offered on thismarket.

The Duke in- vadeg the monastery with a file of soldiers and the brigand monk to evade the military confesses that he is Alvarado. Then he escapes. The last act is devoted to smooth- ing out the tangles and mating the char- acters, all of which is very happily done. Where the music and libretto clash is in the comic lines, which are plentiful. They are necessary, however, to make it a comic opera. The buik of the interest and fun and most of the good music are in the sec- ond act. Miss Nielson made the “hit” of the evening theré with a leve song. She is a “slip of a girl, like the new moon,” grace- ful as a fairy, full of charming diablerie, bright in comedy and possessed of a voice that will make her one of the artists to be remembered. Hs most distinctive features are limpidity and chkearness. Her high notes are bird-like and as one observes her soft, slender throat and lissome figure one thinks it is just such a voice as should come from such a lass. Mrs. Davis was in good voice and her magnificent contralto was heard to great advantage in several numbers, par- ticularly a praise song in the nunnery. Mr. Cowles also scored a triumph by his rendition of a semi-religious air. Mr, Mac- donald does not have the opportunities to use his voice that his admirers could desire, Aside from “The Serenade” and a battle chorus—one of the best numbers in, the opera, by the way—he does comparatively little of the vocal work. Mr. Barnabee is very funny as the Duke. Some of the wit- ticisms are fresh and some are not, but he gets a laugh with all alike. George Froth- ingham, in a low comedy part, is almost as funny as he used to be as Friar Tuck. The production of the Opera was magnificent and the chorus is very strong. The au- dience was probabiy the largest ever as- sembled in the Century on an opening night. ‘“‘The Serenade’s’” music is by Victor Herbert. The book is by Harry B. Smith.

All the Cities Should Take Hold, Says President Jesse, and Make It a Success. Prof. R. H. Jesse, President of the State University, came from Columbia, Mo., Tues- day to. attend a meeting of the delegation appointed by the Governor to represent Mis- sour! at the Omaha Exposition. He was under the {mpression that the meeting would be held Tuesday morning, but finding no other delegates had arrived at 10 o'clock; he went out to Washington University and will remain until Wednesday. The professor is enthusiastic over the prospect of demonstrating to the West and Northwest the resources of this State and believes that with the principal cities inter- ested and active there can be such an ex- hibit at Omaha as Missouri has never made at an exposition. The business men of St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Springfield, Hannibal and Sedalia, in his opinion, could not better ad- vertise the advantages of this State than to take the subject financially into consid- eration. In fact, this must be done if any- abe 8 is to be accomplished that will be worthy the name and the fame of Muis- souri. “It was a great mistake on the part of our last General As«embly,” said State Senator Hohenschild of Rolla, “in falling to appropriate money for our proper repre- sentation at Omaha. There was a hue and cry about a probable deficit in the State revenues, an empty treasury and all that sort of thing, which resulted 4n frightening the conservative legislators into connip- tions. That's why we couldn’t get money appropriated for the Omaha Exposition, but surely the business ‘men of our lead- ing cities will not neglect so great an op- portunity.”’ The commission, it ls now announced, will meet Wednesday morning at the Southern Hotel, and proceed to organize. Then it will be prepared to meet and consult with all thoge interested in *he*matter. St. Louis is represented on the commie- sion by H. A. Blossom, Charles D. McClure, C. H. Spencer, F. FE.

Murphy, the St. Louis boy who owns Buck Massie and other good ones, is just SHOT THE HEART. — WILLIAM MARTIN’S BODY AT THE MORGUE AND ELIJAH HOLMES IN A CELL. THE SEQUEL TO A QUARREL. the Affair From That Re- lated by Others. | William Martin, colored, was shot and killed at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning by Elijah Holmes, colored, in front of 111 South Tenth street. The men were next-door neighbors, and a quarrel growing out of their proximity, says Holmes, who has been arrested, is the cause of the killing. At the tinie of the shooting Sergt. Dawson and Policeman Degnan were at Ninth and Market streets. They heard the shot and ran to the locality, but could ste no signs of a conflict. They went from house to house, but no one knew where the shot was fired. As he was leaving a house Degnan stumbled across a man’s body. It was lying face down- ward in the shadow of the house, and was s.ill warm, though lifeless. The Sergeant and the policeman called an ambulance, In the meantime a crowd gath- ered, among them Edward Martin, who iden- tifled the dead man as his brother. The body was taken to the Dispensary, where Dr. Thompson said Martin had been shot through the heart. From Mrs. Washington, who lives in the rear of 111 South Tenth street, the police learned that Martin and Holmes had at- tended a dance which she had given earlier in the evening. The two men quarreled ana both left. Holmes went first, and was seen standing behind a telegraph pole on the sidewalk when Martin departed. Acting on this clew and obtaining a de- scription of Holmes from other colored per- sons at the dance, the police searched for him several hours, Finally Sergeants Daw- 60n and Wileon and Policeman Lawson found him at 1697 Chestnut street. Martin lived with his brother and sister on the third floor of 111 South Tenth street. He was 22 years old and employed in a tobacco factory. Holmes ig a tall, black, athletic negro, 25 years old. When ar- rested Tuesday morning he readily admit- ted the shooting, but declared he had acted in self-defense. His version of the affair ls ag follows: “I hot home about 1 o’clock, and a few minutes later me and my wife etarted a little quarrel. It was just one of those fam- ily quarrels, and didn’t amount to much. We were not annoying anybody in the that woman alone.’ I didn’t think it was sitting with my back to the front door when I heard somebody-outside holler: ‘Leave that woman alone. I didn’t think it was meant for me. I thought there was some- body beating a woman outside. “All of a sudden the door was broken open and this man Martin rushed in. He Pe mean you. Leave that woman so I him to go and not interfere. He jumped back, put his hand to his pocket, and pulled his gun half way out and said, “Yes, 1 will; I'll kill you.’ “I thought he was go'ng to shoot me, and I grabbed my gun, which was on the dresser. and shot him just once. He wheeled around, backed down the front steps and walked over to the next house, and leaned against the wall. I watched him, and the last thing I heard him say was ‘Ill kill you for this yet.’ Then he fell down, and I got out of the house. “TI was going to give myself up at the Four Courts, but I took a walk up to see a irl I knew at 1617 Chestnnt street, Jennie nn, and sat there awhile, Intending to wait till daylight to give myself up.

SAID HIS BOY WAS DEAD, — James Brown Wanted to Collect In- surance on the Lad’s Life. James Brown, colored, called at the Cor- oner’s office Monday afternoon and told Deputy Coroner Lloyd that his son, Eddie, aged 9 years, had died Sunday night at his home, 4422 Easton avenue, without medical attention. In answer to inquiries Brown stated fur- ther that his boy had been sick nine or ten days, but having no money he could neither employ a physician nor“obDtain any drugs. The wegro then asked for a certified copy of the death certificate, which he presumed would be at once issued. Deputy Coroner Lloyd said he would have to inv. stigate the matter before he could issue a death cert:ficate, but Brown declar- ed there was no mecessity for making an investization, as he had told a plain, straight story. and Deputy Gast responded that the negro | had told him the number was 4442.Dr. Lioyd went to that number and there located Mrs. Brown, an intelligent mulatto, who was acwiees of the information given the Cor- ner Mrs, Brown said she had but two chiMren one aged 18 and the other aged 9 years, that both were alive and in good health. Moreover her husband had left her and she had been on the point of asking for a war- rant for wife abandonment. There was some insurance on the boy’s life, which she thought was the reason why Brown wanted a copy of a death certificate. The Coroner’s office will swear out a warrant against Brown, Charging that he attempted to get money by false pretenses. Brown carried a number of letters from citizens recommending his appointment by the Building Commissioner as a janitor of the public schools. Euchre and Theater Party.

That stupid lord kept banging and rattling at the door, and soon there was an awful row and rumpus in the house, people coming running upstairs crying ‘Fire!’ and ‘Po- lice!’ and ‘Murder! and bells ringing like fury, and when my door was reached they found Lord George still knocking and taiking wildly about house- maids’ knees. “It was terribly mortifying, Thomas, and me so innocent of any wrongdoing. I knew what would happen, and dn’'t sleep a wink all night for thirking about it. In the morning I was suin- moned to the eteward's office and the Duke, who was there, was very stern, told the steward to dis- miss me at onoe without a character. I begged and pleaded that no such wrong should be done a poor, innocent girl, with nothing but her character to depend upon. But the Duke would not yield. Just as I was going out of the room, however, up stepped Lord George, very pale and queer-looking, as he ought to be after working such mischief, and said that it was all his fault and that 1 ought not to be wronged in this cruel manner. But the Duke, ‘his father, cried: “Silence, sir! Do not add falsehood to the in- famy of your conduct. I have fixed the girl's doom; she must go" “Well, you ought to huve seen Lord George bridle up and face the Duke, with flashing eyes and ecorn in his voice, as the said: “ "Your Grace is the first man to call your son & Nar, and even you cannot do it with Impunity.’ “But all that brave talk did not keep my place for me. Tha Duke tried to wither Lord George with a look and then marched out of the room with his head wp, @s they do in the theater. Then Lord George stepped up to me and quite politely, as if he didn't bear malice, begged my pardon for the mischief he had done and pressed a ten-pound note in my hand, and said if he could serve me at any time he would willingly do 60 in all truth and honor. a “Well, to make a long story I short, I left the ducal mansion. I had great difficulty tn finding another place, because I had no character to show from my ldst one. I drifted about a bit and then, hearing that things were different in this frae country, Icame to New York, and have been happy ever since. That ig the whole story, Thomas, aad you now know why I left the old country to make my home in this.”’ “And a very sad story it is, too,” remarked Thomas, as te kissed his sweetheart § tenderly. “That Lord George wasn't half a bad fellow, but I'd like to have an interview for five minutes with that footman, Albert.” One might suppose from this remark of Thomas toby that he is *« helligerent individual.

He stands five feet ten inches in ‘his socks, has a broad, square forehead, on which he plasters a thick growth of jet-black hair, and has dark gray eyes that snap and sparkle on the slightest provocation. His features are regular, the contour of his heed recalling that of a Scotch terrier, and in his dress otherwise he morals in any degree. manner and bearing. But Thomas once lived on the Bowery, and the outward marks that distin- guished the bloods of his youth stick out in his He is a trifle inclined to swagger and boast of his biceps, but those who have watched his career closely aver that his flour. ishes are assumed to conceal a disposition entireiy too mild for a Third avenue butcher.

Consequently she knows very littie of the ways and wonders of New York. Thomas has taken her out regularly once a week since their formal engagement, and much of his enjoyment on those delightful occasions has sprung from the odd ¢rit- icisms of city sights and manners dropped by his English sweetheart. Now, like most New Yorkers of his class, Thomas thinks a great deal uf the scenes of his youth. To him the Bowery is the grandest spot on earth. Much of what-he said on this topic was Greek to Ada Watkins, but, like a sweet, sensible woman, she forced herself to become interested in the hobby of her lover, and when Thomas invited her to make a tour of the historic thoroughfare she gladiy consented. But she insisted on one condi- tion, “We must go in the afternoon, my dear,” she said. “I should be awfully afraid to be on the Bewery at night.” “Not with me, Ada,” rejoined Thomas, as he bristled up and gave his mustache a savage twist, “you ought not to be afraid to go anywhere with me.”’ “Yes, dear,” she hesitatingly assented, “but we had better go in the afternoon.” It was, of course, arranged as Miss Watkins suggested, and one afterroon about a month ago Mr. Hornby and his intended wife started out to “do” the Bowery in daylHght. They came down to Ninth street on the Third avenue elevated and walked leisurely towards the classic precinct they desired to inspect. Thomas could feel Ada trem- ble on his arm as her eyes wandered in search of the wonders not yet in sight. He gave her a fre- assuring squeeze and straightened himself vp proudly as they passed Tompkins Market. “Why, Thomas,’ she whispered, “I don’t see any- thing so very horrid, you know. It's all very clean and nice, and looked at those funny little booths tn front of the market. Oh, my! There’s an oyster stand, with vinegar becitles and pepper boxes, jus: like we have them at home. Do let us have some oysters. I like to take them straight from the shel. without using a fork, ¢on't you know?" This kind of enthusiasm was not what Thomas expected, but he is a reasonable man at times, and he stopped long cnough to see Ada eat @ dozen oysters in the London etyle, an operation whica seemed to give her immense satisfaction. Then the march was contirued. He felt Ada growing bolder as they proceeded. Perhaps it was the oys- ters that had improved her courage, or perhaps it was the fact that the Bowery looks eminentiy respectable nowadays in daylight, and Ada really saw nothing to. gratify the grim curfesity that Thomas’ overheated fancy had conjured up. Horn- by was dissatisfied himself with the trip, He knew the Bowery well by gaslight and scargely recog- nized the old Jandmarks in garish day. Besides, he instinctively recognized that much of the old glory had departed. There were fewer woader shows; most of the variety theaters were closed; the loungers were of a cifferent type, and the pullers- in o& the clothing stores were more polite than emphatic tn their methods.. But be did not like Ada to think he had exaggerated the sights of this historic local:ty, and he tried to interest her ma the odd signs that deck{the fronts of Bowery saloons. Ada sniffed in, contempt at these. “We have just as fuflny at home, you know,” was her comment, as they paesed slowly along. “This isn't what I expected at all. Why, if it waen’t for those nasty elevated roads, you know this might just as well be the Tottenbam Court road. It's every bit ae clean and the people are just as respectable. And see, thor street peddlers with their barrows are jr ~osters. And, yet Hee nie a al tled on. He had expected to astonish her with the sights, and bere she was calmly comparing the great Bowery and its grand associationg with seme - beastly old street in London. It was enough te make any genuine New Yorker angry. Between Bayard and Division, where the Ele- vated lowers and casts a deep gloom over the side- walk, Ada suddenly changed her mood of compla- cent criticism. She glanced about her with less confidence and clung tighter to the good right arm of Thomas, who began to pluck up spirits again in the belicf that the moment of correct impres- sion had at iost arrived. But suddenly Ada dropped his arm, end, muttering eétrangely, ran quickly forward. Thomas was bewllde for a few séconds. Right in front of him was*‘a tall sand- wichman, with flowing side whiskers, and Ada was at his side, shaking his hand vigorousiy and look : ing into his face with wild, excited eyes. The gro- tesque figure did not respond to this effusive dem-~- oustration. But there was enough in the scene te excite the Third avenue butcher. the conclusion that Albert, the footman, had been found in this curieus guise, and that Ada, cruel, deceitful Ada, had promptly deserted him for that brute of an Englishman whom she had pretended this maddéning thought in his brain Thomas eprang forward to infllet summary ven- geance. Ada, who was still clinging to the hands of the sandwich man, divined his purpose and shrieked for help. An officer stepped between the infuriated butcher and the object of his wrath. A crowd gathered like magic and began to guy the trio Miss Watkins wer at once roused to definite action. She told a newsboy, who was watching the scene with open mouth, to call a carriage, and in a few moments she was seated therein with the sandwich man, minug his headboard, and dashing wiidly up the Bowery, while Thomas, almost dis- tracted by the taunts of the crowd and the heart+- leas conduct of his sweetheart, shook his fist after he fleeing couple and registered deep vows of ngeance tn hig bosom. That Thomas Hornby had good ground for anger goes without saying. A man would be more than mortal who could see hie sweatheart eloping with & miserable Bowery sandwich man and preserve his temper. Stoics who have never felt the pangs of love, despised or otherwise, might say that he wae . well rid of such a woman, but all men with hearts in. their breasts will sympathize with the Third avenue butcher In this hour of desperate trial. But from what we have @eén and heard of Ada - it is impossible to believe that she could be gov- erned in an affair of such moment by sudden and unaccountable caprice. Why had she made friends with the sandwich man, who was no other than our stately friend “Taffy,” and why tad she sae promptly removed him from the jeering cries of the crowd and the impetuous vengeance of her lover? Like most other mysterious affairs, when probed to the bottom, there was really nothing very strange in the conduct of Mies Watkine on occasion. The real trouble arose out of the that she had not time to explain Thomas. Two or three confidentiall excitable gentleman's gar would have the jealous pangs spreading in his breast listed his manly sympathies in favor of * aft Bs had worked 460 much disaster Ada Watkins, but Lord George, dom of the Hollyhocks, ratte : ' He jumped te.

Adolph Adams, clerk in the Americas Central Insurance Co.'s offees, and Miss Luretta Rohr, were married Monday after nooh at the residence of Attorney William Winkelmann, in Belleville. It was an elope- ment, After the young couple arrived in Belle- ville, and before the license had been se- cured, young Mr. Adams received a téle gram. It was from his father, J. H. Adama, Secretary of the American Central Insuft+ ance Co. The-message was to the effect that if the son would hot marry, he would be and placed at the head of one of the com- pany’s best districts in the West, The telegram failed of its purpose. Young Adams and Miss Rohr were marfied, They gave their ages as 4 years each, and there Was no apparent reason why the license should not be iseved, and why the marfiage should not take place. Mr. and Mra. Adams are keeping their present whereabouts a mystery. La are not at the home of the bride’s parents, in North St. Louls, neither are they at the home of the @room’'s parents, at avenue, 'n South St. Louis. They afe not in ph haen’'t shown up around here,” sald his father Tuesday. “Mine was the only objection to the mare riage,” he continued. “I did not think my son was making enough salary to om gg a wife and family, neither did I think he had enough experience in the wortd. “T have tried to bring up my children in the same school in which I was B up, that is, to make them earn thelr spurs as they went along. I am secretary of this on The Court of Appeals Tuesday gave Judge David Murphy a black eye in its decision in the case of BE. G. Haneock and other police officers, convicted in Judge Murphy's court of assault and battery. The defendants were police officers who arrested a woman named Susie Moton with- out a warrant, for disturbing the peace at the Simmons School. The arrest was made Marchgl2 on the appTttation of the principal of the school and none of the of- ficers saw the alleged offense committed. The defendants in the case before Judge Murphy offered to show that the woman was duly convicted of the offense for which she was arrested, but Judge Murphy ruled all that out and Instructed the jury “that under the law and evidgtice in the case the defendanis had no legal right to lay hands upon the prosecuting witness for the purpose of making an arrest or for any other purpose; that the defendants «as of- ficers, not having been witnesses to any alleged disturbance of the peace, and hav- ing no warrants for the arrest of the prose- cuting witness, had no right or excuse to invade her premises.”’ ‘The only question preagaten by @he reG- ords for detision,” the’ Court of Appeals ‘says, “is whether the defendant as police use SKY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Metropolitan Street Rall- way and Manhattan showed fractional gains at the opening of the stock market, but Manhattan soon declined % below last night’s level. Other- wise losses of a small fraction Were the rule throughout the list, and prices tended further down- ward after the opening. Supporting orders were forthcoming at the low level and prices gradually stiffened, pains being most noticeable in the local securities. Metropolitan Street Railway was rather feverish on the rise, but aegressive, strength wes shown by Consolidated Gas. which gained over 2 per eent. The movement in the standard shares was very narrow and lusi- ness wee dull. Seles of stocks to noon, 113,640 shares, Bonds helfi firm on light purchases. There was evidence of large liquidation soon after the opening, tired holders holding over stocks in disappointment at the persistent heaviness of the market. Declines reached nearly a point in many instances and extended to 2 polnts In Metropolitan Street Railway. The Grangers und Southwestern. era were particularly weak, and a lack of support was also evident ia the leading specialties.
