SCRATCHED LIKE A TIGRESS. This Caused the Unknown Assailant to Release His Victim’s Throat and Shrieks Brought Help in Nick of Time. Mrs. Alberta Bouhrner, old, fought a desperate battle in the dark with a& man whose identity is not known to the 70 years police. The struggle occurred in an isolated part of a district in Carondelet, commonly known as ‘‘Happy Hollow.” The aged woman lives with her son at 8811 O'Reilly avenue. Monday evening, about 8 o’clock, she started from her home to £0 on an errand on South Broadway. To shorten the distance she went across lots. Mrs. Bouhrner is unusually sprightly for one of her age and is accustomed to going about her neighborhood, As she strolled along through the dark a man suddenly pounced upon her. He threw the aged woman to the ground. He clutched her throat and thus prevent- ed her from screaming. With almost superhuman strength Mrs. Bouhrner released her hands and scratched the face of her assailant. This caused him to relax his hold upon her throat. Then she screamed loudly. Her cries attracted attention and several men rushed to the rescue. The fiend fled. The aged woman was taken to her home, where she now lies prostrated from the ef- fects of her thrilling experience. The police suppressed news of the out- rage at the time on the theory that public- ity would hinder the capture of the guilty man. Wednesday morning Capt, Keeble of the First Police District gave out the story. Owing to the darkness, no description of Mrs. Bouhrner’s assailant was obtained. UNDRESSED KID.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. HAVANA, Jan. 26.—When the battleship Maine arrived here yesterday morning the quays were crowded with people, soldiers, sailors, civilians, but they were pef- fectly quiet, perfectly impassive. Naturally the first questions of the Maine’s officers were: What are we here for?” ‘What's the trouble? So far from precipitating trouble, the unbelligerent presence of the Maine is apt to strengthen the relations between the United States and Spain. as a mil! pond, Consul-General Lee, Secretary Congosto, Acting Governor-General, Havana is as calm and Govin, Secretary of the Interior, had the idea that perhaps severa. days had better pass be- fore the battleship’s arrival, so the people might become reconciled to her coming. But she came just at the right time, when all jis tranquil. Americans are now well satisfied there is a safe refuge for their women and children, should accident or intrigue give an anti-American twist to any rioting that may occur.* On the other hand, Gen. Parrado, Acting Captain General, ts fully able to suppress such rioting. The impression is that the Maine's sailors will not be permitted to go ashore, and that there will be a generous exchange of courtesies between her officers and the military and naval officials here, Lieut, Albert Medrano, representing Vice-Admiral Jose Patoro, and.the come mander of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII., the Spanish flagship, visited the Maine, as did also the officer of the German cru'!ser. Both visits were returned by Capt. Sigsbee, who also called upon Rear Admiral Vicente Manterola, after which he had @ conference with Gen, Lee. SYLVESTER SCOVBL. SAGASTA HAS CONFIDENCE IN M’KINLEY. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. MADRID, Jan. 26.—The official intimation of the contemplated visit of American vessels of war to Havana and the presence of the American squadron in the West Indian waters has caused a sensation and much displeasure at Madrid, which the press of all shades of opinion echo to-dav with much bitterness. El Imparcial calls the “‘conduct of America provocation without justification,” and recommends Spaniards in Havana to be prudent and seif-possessed, and to show disdain and indifference during the stay of the American vessels, Sagasta says the Spanish Government attaches no importance to the movement of the American ships, as it is perfectly aware that President McKinley harbors no designs against the present cordial relationa between the two countries, It is easy to see, however, he says, how politicians and military men apprehend any demonstra- tion by the old Spanish party in Havana, on the occasion of a visit by American vesse!s. that would find an echo in the patriotic feelings and hardly suppressed irri- tation against the United States in Spain. ——_ ~*~ FLEETS OF FIGHTING SHIPS.

George G. Jones of Innwood Is accused of attempting to wreck the train. Jealous rage over the marriage of the woman he loved ¢o his rival, the apthorities believe, caused him to pian and partly execute the flendish crime.

He, like all the other members of the court, wore a long flowing black robe. The courtroom was crowded in anticipation. of the event. When he entered the chamber the new justice stopped at Clerk McKenney'’s desk, where he re- mained while the other justices took their respective seats upon the bench. Chief Justice Fuller announced the pres- ence of the new justice, saying: lt gives me pleasure to armnounce to the fentlemen of the bar that Mr. Jéseph Me- enna of California has been appointed an Associate Justice of this court.” The clerk handed Mr. MeKenna a copy of the judicial oath and he read it in a dis- tinct voice and then was escorted to his seat on the extreme left of the CRief Jus- tice by Marshal Wright. The court re- Ma:ned standing. He was welcomed hy a cordial shake of the hand. from Justice White, his: nearest neighbor, and by bows from the other members of the court whereupon all took their seats. With this the ereremony concluded and the court proceeded with the business before it, the first cases being those dealing with the Texas anti-trust law. 2 CO bat he Wvoming 7.50 British Columbia and Northwest Territory. . 6,175,000 3,150,000 | .- =—--« $ 51,326,582 | 435,469 '$ 69,830,597 [$ 32,298,200 EEN TO HEAVEN.

There will be no big dog show in St. Louls this year. A meeting of the directors of the St. Louts Kennel] Club Tuesday night was one of the liveliest in the-history of the erganization. President Phil Scanlan was in the chair. There was a warm discussion as to the advisability of giving (“le snow. Lacey Crawford, the treasurer of the club, ear- nestly advocated it, but the opposition was too strong for him. Mr. Crawford’s most potent argument was that the date of the annual bench show had been announced, and that the public had been given to understand that it was to be held from April 8’ te April 11 in the Exposition building. Ferd Meyer and John Shepley aided Mr. Crawford in pressing his point until a cer- tain stage’ of the discussion, when the op- b0sition practically announced that If Messrs. Crawford, Meyer and Shepley wanted a dog show they¥ would have to give it themselves. The result of the long session. was that it was decided to abandon the project. Treasurer Crawford said Wednesday morning: “There will certainly be no bench show given by the St. Louis Kennel Club this year. ‘The first stumbling block we encountered was a difficulty with the about the renting of the wanted $3.00 for the for four davs This ¢s we made every effort th Ti ne management ot 7 make no reduction. “We then agreed to pay the manded.

Frank Sep- towski, a saloon keeper at 1441 North Twen- ty-first street, was the star actor in a stand- up and knock-down fight with his wife, her sister and her mother. The trouble looked serious for a time, and an able-bodied father-in-law was all that prevented bloodshed, Septowski lives above the saloon, He had been drinking heavily during the day. He went upstairs about 3 o'clock and began to abuse his wife. She more, He ran to the bure au, seized a double- rifled woman.

The elder Janosktzi found smooth words unavalling with hig son-in- law and pitched him through a window. Septowski was obliged to visit the City Dispensary for repairs. His injuries were dressed and he was locked up at the Fourth District Sub-station. The commotion roused the entire neigh- borhood and several hundred people gath- ered about the Janosktzi residence to see the fun, The front door was battered, the win- dow panes smashed to smithereens and the front room of the house looked as though Tuesday’s blizzard had struck it. Septowski was in fighting humor when arrested. He struck Policeman Fay several blows in the face. The officer jabbéd him in the rmbs with his club and Septowski soon quieted down. At the station charges of disturbing the peace, resisting an officer and destruction of property: were preferred, In police court Wednesday the case was continued to Jan. 238. MA.

MANY HAPPY RETURNS TO BISHOP TUTTLE. Reception and- House- Warming to the Epis- copalian on This His Sixty-first Birth- day. ¢ Right Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, Bishop of Missouri, was 61 years old Wednesday and the ladies of St. Stephens’ Mission gave a house-warming and reception in honor of hts birthday. The Woman's Auxillary met at the Mis- sion, 1204 South Seventh street, at 10 o'clock, when holy. communion was celebrated by the bishop. The birthday reception fol- lowed, during which hundreds of persons shook the good bishop’s hand and offered congratulations. The officers of the Mis- sion who managed the pleasant gathering are: President, Mrs. Tuttle; Vice President, Mrs. E. C. Simmons; Secretary, Miss Mary Triplett; Treasurer, Mrs. T. Ewing White. Bishop Tuttle was born in Greene Coun- ty, New York, in 1837. ‘There were no rail- roads,” he said, speaking briefly of his his- tory, “‘in that retired valley of the Cats- kills, and I was 14 years old before 1 ever saw a locomotive. My father and a brother were Methodists, but we lived nearer an Episcopal church, and so I attended the Episcopal Sunday-school. Under the rector of that church I began the study of Latin and Greek, and later went to the academy at Delphi, Delaware County, N. Y., at a time soon after what was known as the anti-rent war of those days. That was a rebellion on the part of small farmers against paying taxes for lands they occu- pied which belonged to old manorial grants, such as the Livingstones and the Hardin- burie. “In 183 I went to Westchester County and taught school. I entered Columbia College, New York, in 186%, in the sophomore class, and was graduated in 1857. Then I became a private tutor in various families of New York City, serving in that capacity two years.

On July 5 I paid my respects to the powers that be by calling upon Brigham Young, who re- ceived me courteously and was good enough to say he was glad I had come to look after some of my people in Salt Lake. The Con- gregationalists under Rev. Mr. McLeod had held a few services in the city, but their Sunday-school superintendent, Dr. Robin- murdered a few months be- son, had been fore my arrival.

CAIRO, Ill, Jan. 2%.—Late yesterday af- ternoon Albert Lester was brought to this city by an officer and lodged in jail on a charge of counterfeiting. The merchants at Sandusky, in this county, have been much worried of late by spurious dollars being circulated in that neighborhood. Yes- terday afternoon Lester made a purchase at one of the stores and tendered in pay- ment therefor a counterfeit dollar. An officer was in the store at the time and at- tempted to place the man under arrest, but the latter ran. He was chased fora short distance and seeing his pursuer was gaining on him, Lester ran to a pond and fell in, with his hands outstretched. He was cap- tured and searched, but nothing was found him. An investigation was made of the and it was found that In falling he a small sack of money in each hand which he had buried in the mud when he fell.

A Pleasant Simple, but Safe Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to. incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat- ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure om the heart and lungs and difficult breath- ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous. ness and a generally played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which‘ causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy diges- tion is the one necessary thing to do, and when the normal digestion 1s secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, As- ceptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden ‘Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a pat- nt medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow ‘their after meals. re rular use 8 Mr. N. 1. Booher of 2710 Dearborn St. Chicago, IL, writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing backward into the \throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.

From the skyline to the ground St. Louis build- ings are plastered and studded with all sorts of @dvertising signs and frippery. They hang, pro- Ject, swing and stare from every point and at every angle. The result is that whenever the wind rises a little citizens’ lives and limbs .are en- dangered. Every one feels there is danger in the air. No one ventures out of doors without the fear of being struck by some fiying gimcrack from overhead. This is a growing and intolerable nuisante. The windstorm on Tuesday morning would not have been dangerous but for the thousands of these Playthings for the gale. Signboards and other advertising davices, together with overhead wires, poorly built porches and sham cornices, can turn every moderate gale into a menace to life and limb. There is a law against overhead signs, and it should be enforced.

When the Spanish authorities seized the cop- fes of American newspapers on account of news distasteful to them, they paid a high compliment to the seized newspapers. The anger of tyranny is a tribute to the truth ef a newspaper. In fact, the value of a news- paper as a moral force may be measured by the fear and hatred it arouses on the part of the tyrant and the wrongdoer. They know that the truth is their undoing and that the newspapers which get the truth and publish it are the most powerful agents in the work of undoing them. But perhaps there was never a better illustra- tion of the futility of tyranny to protect itself in this day and generation by the suppression of newspapers than this Havana seizure. The facts were temporarily kept from the people of Havana, but they were given to the world. They contributed to the molding of public sentiment.

Spain's friendly reception of the Maine exposes the folly of the administration’s timidity and the absurdity of the war scare. Spain recognizes that she must yield to the Maine's visit to Cuba. She must yield to every reasonable move made by the United States to restore peace, justice and security for life, and to re-establish commerce in Cuba. Spain has not a peg upon which to hang a remonstrance against intervention on behalf of humanity and order in her devastated colony. On the contrary, there is a long Hst of crimes against civilization to her discredit. Cuba is lost to Spain by every rule of inter- national law and every consideration of right. She cannot put down the insurrection nor restore order. Her sovereignty.is a farce. She has waged acampaign of wanton destruction. The United States should follow the Maine’s visit With further steps looking to a quick ter- mination of the war. We should waste no more time over Spanish promises, but should pursue a firm, high policy in favor of humanity, justice and liberty for Cuba. Cuban independence will come and there will be no war. ——-—-— ——_ -4 4 e -_— —__—_ The report of the Wholesale Grocers’ meeting shows that the Sugar Trust controls absolutely the price of sugar.

Improving the River. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Apropas of the embryo steel- barge Ine I wish to make a suggestion or two pertaining to the im- provement of ehe Mississippi River. It is absurd to set dikes at right angles with the flow of the river, thus making a hole not far from the end of the dike, and a short distance away creating a sandbar. The better way, and as far as I can see, aftera careful study of the situation, would he to build the dikes at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and that angle with the flow of the river. Also, the piling should be placed with an incline towards the middle of the stream; that is, the top of the piles at shore should be at a certain height above the ordinary stage of water, so that in case of high water the piling would be thigh enough to be about on a level with such high water. This does not pertain to overflows. The piling should be in- clined gradually towards midway of stream, so that at any stage of water there would be a tendency to force the flow of the water towards the middle of the stream. These dikes or piling could be placed alternately on opposite sides of the river, l6éng or short stretches on either side, as the case may be, and thus greatly straighten the course of the stream, which is a very important factor. A main channel 800 feet, which is ample width for all purposes of river transportation, should be and can be maintained from St. Louis to Cairo, if above suggestions are carried out. LANCELOT.

I was informed by a gentieman that the last ear going down town left 10 minutes ago, which must have been 11:20 As time wags precious, I concluded to take the next Gran avenue car and return trans- fers to conductor of same. car came along and we boarded ft. Speiking to the conductor about the affair, all the answer or satisfaction received was that the transfers were no good to him.

He is as yet a young member of the Retail Clerks’ Association, but has done good and faithful work. On Jan. 12, 1898, he was elected president by a large majority, TREASURER PAVLICK. F. E. Paviick, treasurer, is a popular clerk in the clothing department of the Globe Shoe-and Clothin Co. He is a charter member of the First Reta Clerks’ Association of this city and for she six years has held the office of treasurer, which osition he has filled with trust and honor. It was through his special efforts that the retail clerks of this city obtained a half holiday on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 6, 1897. At the last regular meeting of this association he was re-elected treasurer by acclamation for the anaulng (erm. ast BRYAN IN MEXICO, From the Sedalia (Mo.) Sentinel. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Sunday contained the first authoritative statement by William J. Bryan of his views and impressions concerning his recent trip to Mexico. Ever since his return the public had been anxiously awaiting the promised article, and doubtless it was more eagerly and widely read than anything else which appeared in the metropolitan press, especially that part of it relating to the silver question. From the Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat. Mr. Bryan makes the point that Mexico, with Its silver coinage, is prosperous; that labor is better paid than ever before; that the people are satisfied, and that citizens of the United States are eager to make investments in that free sliver republic, His trip confirmed his opinion that free coinage in this country would bring prosperity to the masses. Tax Dodging. From the Palmyra (Mo.) Herald, obably 90 per cent of our population are tax ania more or less. They are forced to it by gr.m necessity. But the Herald believes that the man who is a tax dodger from choice is a rare bird. If all property were assessed at its actual cash value, and {f the assessor did ‘his duty, properly backed up by the grand jury, and listed all prop- erty for taxation so that there would be no injustice and no inequality, we believe that 9 per cent of our people would w.llingly give in al) their are sions for taxation.

I paid a duty call on my old friend, Prof. L. N. Fowler, the discoverer of phre- nology, whose ofiice is somewhere in Ludgaie Cir- cus, Fleet street. I remember that Prof. Fowler had told my par- ents, on one of his visits to his boyhood home in America, that [I should startle the world one day through the medium of either written nor spoken language. My father had laughed. He was no great be- liever in the science of head-bump reading. ‘“T haven't startied the world yet,’’ I told the professor, as 1 grasped his hand. “You haven't gyritten the great American novel,” the profeseor replied. | Maybe those words had something to do with my sitting down to write this story. However, I can't say positively that it will be a world startier.

He seemed to have money in abundance, companions were with him nearly a.ways. Once I met him at the Church of Notre Dame. He accompanied a veiled lady, Who appvrared to be very devout. He seemed weary. wos The beautiful service charmed me, The great organ’s peals, the chants of the priests, the songs of the choir, the grandeur of the perfect ecclesi- astical architecture impressed me deeply. I did not the young man and the vetled lady as they departed. Ie«eaw neither in Paris again, I finally visited Switzerland. I need not write a guidebook on any of these Huropean countries; as well write of Missouri or Ill:inots, so famfiiiar is the old world to us all since travel is so rapid and 60 inexpensive. I swune around the circle. At each hotel I looked at the register. scanned the faces of guests. There was no Mme. Cleo on the registers. There was no one among the guests who resembied my own description of Iminor’s widow. Finally I got back to Paris. Il occasionally gamble a little.

So did . “What advertisement?” my curiosity inquired. May be the advertisement asking Duga to ad- vise Inez. Rut how can I find out? Who are these men, anyhow? The next station this train stops at is Monte Carlo,” said the colored porter in English, stick- ing his head in the emoking car. We landed at the pretty station presently. The coming of e Pars train {is an event in the early part of the day in Monte Carlo. It ar- rives about the time breakfast is finished in that late arising idling place. So fortune and gallantry come down the long walk arm in arm to see what they shall see and let the arrivals do the game thing. I lost sight of my smoking compartment com- anions, , 1 asked the porter if he knew them. Porters do eometimes know things. I've known porters to knoW a gréat deal more than some of the passen- gers whose patronage they accept, along with their coin. “Here's a card I found, sir,”’ the porter said, “maybe it belonged to one of the gentiemen.” That is what the card read. It made me .think of Iminor. Of course, you have been to Monte Carlo; you can't admit having lived and answer no. For Monte Carlo is a poet's dream. It is heaven by day and it is the other place during the late watches of the night. The Monte Cario Band, the band of the princl- pality, is a wonder. You've heard it play by phono- graph, if you never heard it at first hand. You must have done that. Every player is a virtuoso. There is a wave of sound. Musical funnel- shaped clouds burst. There are blizzards of har- monioug discord, there are typhoons of warm mel- ody. The gentle zephyr ffoats along in endless song. Then comes cannonading. There is a crash as of an exploding mine under the citadel. After that all you hear is the washing of the waves at the foot of the cliff. The Monte Carlo Band mixes metaphors, but it inspires the hearer, who sits on a garden seat and looks dreamily out to sea. Had Guilberti, the sage of Egypt, eat there be- side me, I have no doubt he would have found an electrical affinity between the musical sound- wave and the soul of man. But he was where he ought to be, no doubt; back there with the forgotten past. I changed my position a little and let my hand fall beside me. It alighted on something soft. It was a delicate handkerchief. In one corner was worked the initial “D.” Such a handkerchief was found in Iminor’s office the day he was murdered. l looked up and saw my companions of the smoking compartment. With them was the lady geo devout at Notre Dame. CHAPTER IX. I now lost my littie 5 franc pieces at Monte Carlo and thought I was what We Americans dé- nominate “‘the real thing.”” But 1 was only an ama- teur gambler. Uminor, the Brussella banker, the man I didn't like, was the man whe really sought the bank roil. He had a system as well as money. You could see that gambling with this man was a disease. There was a hectic flush on his cheek. His eyes were beady, like a cobra’s. The whites were a bilious yéllow. They were eyes which are restless, like the eyes of an Abbdino Ae I studied thought: “I would not care to meet you on age times there were great piles of go'd in front of him. At other times the piles were smaller, On the whole, it seemed to me luck was against the PRrussels banker and with the bank of Monte Carlo. There were women as table. Some were women one sees every . Some were American women, paying to be abd.e to say they had played, And there were women of title at the tabie. eas A crowd was beginning to gather around Uminor.

RECEIVED AID FROM ST. LOUIS. HEAVY LOSS ON GRAIN, FREIGHT SHEDS AND CARS IN THE YARDS. SPECTACULAR NIGHT SCENE. Thousands of Persons Crowded the Eads Bridge, the Levee and Took Passage on. an Excursion to Watch the Flames. Wednesday morning crowds surrounded the ruins that mark the path of the great East St. Louls fire. Only blackened walls and confused masses of brick and mortar remain on the site of the big blaze. The fire, entalling a total loss of more than $1,000,000, destroyed the Union Elevator, the Burlington freight sheds, the Chicago & Alton ice house, 10 freight cars and twelve houses. The conflagration started on the second floor of the Union Elevator and is supposed to-have been caused by a spark from a passing locomotive, The fire epread rapidly and was soon beyond the control of the Kast St. Louis department, In a short time the elevator, which con- tained 1,000,000 bushels of grain, was a mass of flames, which spread to the Burlington yards, south. A train-of 25 cars, loaded with gratn, was the first to go. Train after train .gnited un- ti] 150 cars were ablaze at once. The flames leaped from car to car until] they reached the Buriington freight house on the north and the Chicago and Alton ice house on the ; south, destroying both buildings. The fire nearly wiped out a little settlement known as the ‘‘Patch,’’ rendering many families homeless, -The illumination was the most brilllant ever caused by a fire around St. Louis. Hun- dreds of persons in the West End ‘hurried down town thinking a great conflagration Was raging inethe bus_ness district. When they Jearned that the fire was in Fast St. Louls there was a rush for the Eads bridge. Who gave the orders ts not known, but’ {it was announced that those desiring to cross the bridge to sees the fire would not have to pay the cus. omary toll of fe. When the crowd had enjoyed the great spectacie afforded by the fire and started back to St. louis it was different. The bridge company demanded its tolls and It was a great coup. The captains of several boats also made capital out of the fire, charging 10c a head to take sightseers Up and down the river front. The sisis of only engine. Engine Lou's fire department con- three companies and hag no companies 12 and 2 and truck No. 6 of St. Louie, under direction of Aesistant Chief Rueker, aided it in con- trolling the flames. In the settlement north of the elevator there was the wildest excitement. The bitidings were all small frame structures and only a few of them were saved, There were many nerrow escapes but no one was seriove'yv injured. Amone those whose houses were destroyed were Michnel Sullivan, Thomas Hudson, Joseph Voerstage, Henry Spilker, Edward Sealley, Edward Kern, Mns, J. Meagher and John Harris, The Unton elevator was the property of the Corsolidated Elevator Co. It had a capacity of 1,125,000 bushels of grain and contained 600.000 bushels of rye and corn and the same amount The build- Fast St. of wheat. ing wee insured for $125,000. Secretary Cunningham estimates the loss the Consol'dated FPlevator Co. at $675,- Of this amount $450,000 represents the value of the grain destroved. The gra.n burned in freight cars was valued at $80,000, Adjusters were at work Wednesday and it Waa stated thay the total loss might exceed $1,000,000, ; One estimate made by Insurance Agent T. IL... Fekete places the total loss at $1,750,000. . The tnsurance on the grain was distribe uted as follows among five agents: T. L. Fekee, $200,000; H. D. Sexton, $125,- MO: H. J. Egemann, $60,000; George Rugger, $100,000; John W. Renshaw, $150,000. The e'e- vator building was valued at $150,000 and was insured for $76,000, The Burlington fretghthouse was a frame atructure, valued at $10,000, “or hours St. Lou's was cut off from com- munication with all points Fast, owing to the destruction of the Western Union Tela- graph Co,’s wires in the yards on the east side of the river, - A large force of workmen were sent out early Wednesday, and by noon al) of the to 000, HE DANCED THE HOOCHI-KOOCHL Grace Higgins a Patient in the City Hospital.

Mr. E. C. Simmons Is Said to Be the Principal Stockholder in the Company. St. Louis is to have another hotel, which will be one of the finest of its kind in the West. It will be a six-story, thoroughly fire- proof structure and will have all the latest improvements and luxuries.

She 1s 31 years old and in her earlier years had some reputation as a dancer, though of late she had not been con- nected with the stage. The incident which led to the attempt up- on her life was told by her at the City Dispensary. Mr. Higgins, it seems, had passed the bet- ter part of Tuesday hight in the company of friends, induiging in repeated exchanges of liquid courtesies. Long after midnight he took his friends to his rooms and there | continued drinking. Mrs. Higgins was-in bed sick. She says | that on Nov. 6 last, while her husband Was) under the influence of Iiquor, she had a | seuffie with him, during which he threw her against a glass door, cutting a gash in | her right wrist that healed very eae | For the purpose of applying a restorative she hada bottle of carbo.ic acid in the room, When the various assortment of liquors had reached Mr. Higgins’ head, it occurred to him that he could enliven the enter- tainment by having ‘his wife to dance, “Gracie,’’ he said, “get up and do a turn or two for my friends, .They’ve mever seen you at your best.”’ “Y cannot, Mike,” “You | know I am too sick.’ “Ah, you can dance if you will. Get up, that’s a good girl.’’ Mrs. Higgins says that after much per- suasion, and to please her husband, she arose from her bed, weak and ill, and made a desperate effort to entertain the company by recalling one of the dances she used to do in other days. The company and Mr. Higgins were evt- dently pleased. They applauded her weak efforts and cried for more. Then, when. she had exhausted her repertory, there wag a demand for the Hoochi-Koochi. Mrs. Higgins refused. She thought she had done enough and begged that she be permitted — oe duwn, as she was euffering great ain, she answered. \D ' But Mr. Higgins had reached the trritable | @tage of his oe ge pleasure, Mrs. Higgins’ refusal angered him. “Get tp and dance,” he said to her. “I cannot, Mike,” she answered. ‘‘Haven’t I danced enough? Besides, it's time for all of us to quit and get some sleep.” “Get =. and dance,’ he repeated, sav- a@zely. “We want the hoochi-koochi, and it w respo goes, d’you see?” “Wearily the oman ded every nerve and muscle crying a oud against the unnatural demand upon them.

HARTMAN OPPOSED, —_ re) HIS PLAN TO GIVE POPLAR STREET TO THE RAILROADS IS IMPRAOTICABLE. ONLY A TEMPORARY RELIEF, Chairman Holman of the B. P, zr Would Bridge the Mill Greek Valley. The proposition of Alderman Hartman of the Ninth Ward to vacate Poplar street from the Levee to Ninth street and turn it over to the sole use of the railroads will meet with determined opposition. Mr. Hartman’s ordinance contemplates a thoroughfare in the heart of the business district to be occupied by a network of switching tracks so as to facilitate the in- gress and egress of fre'ghts to the Cupples’ group of warehouses. Mr. Hartman contemplates that if his scheme is adopted Poplar street from Ninth to the Levee would be walled on either side with mammoth business houses like those in the Cupples’ block, and that it would greatly expedite the handling of the whole- sale business of the city. Water Commé:ssioner Holman, who ite Chairman of the Streets Committee in the Board of Public Improvements, said Tues- day that he did not think that Mr. Hart- man’s scheme was practical, “More than that,’’ added Mr. Holman “not more than two tracks could be placed upon Porfar street. And what is to become of the crossings from Levee to Ninth street? This matter of street crossings and grades has been too long neglected. It confronts Us squarely in the MiH Creek bottom, The Streets must go above the surface or the railroad tracks must go underground. “I contend that when we move in this matter we should look to the future. Mr. Hartman’s Poplar street ordinance seeks Only temporary relief. “After the years of lHtigat'on we had about the Poplar street railroad tracks and lost, the Supreme Court never held that the owner of those tracks was not subject to the ordinances for regulating stree traffic, but it does not follow that those tracks shal] necessarily remain on the sur- face, but we can force them under ground or over head. ‘The railroads must be given all the space necessary to facilitate the city’s trade, but at the same time we must have a care to the protection of Hfe and the conveniences of the whole city from a traffic and vehicuiar standpoint.” BUSINESS MEN BANQUET. Growth of St. Louis and the City’s Fut- ure Themes for Addresses. The Business Men’s League began its new year with an informal and yet eclegant ban- quet at the Planters’ Hotel Tuesday night, et which 112 substantial citizens talked of the successful past and the hopeful future of St. Louis, When the supper was finished Mr. Ken- nard, the retiring president, spoke a few words of welcome and then delivered his an- nual address. He dwelt at some length on the necessity for co-operation among busi- ness and professional men ‘to advance the city’s welfare, and urged the importance of increasing the membership of the league. Vith respect to the work of the traffic bu- reau Mr. Kennard made this important an- nouncement: “The need of more direct railroad com- munication with Oklahoma has been a seri- ous impediment to the expansion of our trade in that young and growing country. Your executive committee hag had this problem under consideration for some months and has dene everything possible to secure this mos: important connection— and while we claim that our league, as such, has accomplished this muc?h-desired con- summation, it affords me much pleasure to state that through the efforts of some of our members, together with other repre- sentative citizens, the papers were signed to-day which insure the Duilding of 108 miles of railroad from Sapulpa to Oklahoma City. This connection shortens the disten’e from St.Louts to Oklahoma via the San Francisco road 1385 miles, and places the merchants and manufacturers of St. Louis in direct communication with the most fertile land and most yigorous towns in the Southwest. This new’road will be operated by the Frisco, which is a guarantee that no cut rates and discriminations against our com- mercial interests will be permitted.’’ Secretary James Cox reported the Income for the year as $16,361, and expenses. $15,900. Ex-Gov. David R. Francis addressed the members on the subject of the proposed steel barge line to New Orleans, and inci- dentally took occasion to urge better trans- portation facilities for the distribution of grain. He said much of the wheat exported last year by St. Louis merchants had not massed through St. Louls, and this ghould e obviated in the future. Frank Gaiennie made a rattling good speech, declaring the league should interest itself in good roads and good streets. offered a eet of resolutions in favor national quarantine regulation and a tional bankrupt law and advocated a legal- ized pool greement among the railroads. In closing te suggested that the league shouid begin to give some attention to the international exposition that will be held in 1903 at St. Louis, to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Loulsana purchase. *% Wilkingon read the report of the Legislation Committee, which had consid- ered 1208 bills of the General Assembly.

The High Hat Bill Is Supported by Councilmen as Strongly as by the Deiegates. A victory was scored for public improve- ments when the House of Delegates passed the ordinance to widen Twelfth street, from St. Charles to Washington avenue, Tues- day night. The vote was a surprise to the most zealous friends of the bill. Of the 21 members present only four, Decker, Pauley, Sweeney and Watson voted against the bil. Even Bersch, chair- man of the Public Improvements Commit- tee, Who had led the fight against the méas- ure, voted for it. Bersch’s name being first on the roil-call his vote excited interest following hig motion to put the bill on its passage. Silas B. Jones, attorney for A. D. Brown who is to build at the southeast corner o Tweifth street and Washington avenue, and in whose name the fight was commenced against the bill, was in the ouse, but none of the dozen or more Interasted ye rty- owners who have been attending the House sessions so regularly were there. They had evidently given up the fight in advance. Bersch had passed the word for the oppo- sition to “lay down,” and it obeyed to a man with the exception of the four above named. If James F. Carpenter, A. D. Brown, John T. Davis and the Lindell heirs carry out their threat a big lawsuit will follow. The protesters warned the aldermen that if the bill became a law they would fight it to the bitter end, keep it hung up in the courts for a dozen years if poss.ble, before they would submit to the condemnation pro- ceedings. The first obstruction they would throw in the way would be a writ of in- junction. Great pressure will doubtless be brought on the Mayor to veto the bill within the ten days he has to consider it. An estimate of the cost of the condemna- tion judgments is about $160,000 against the property owners and $20,000 against the city. The city will insist that the issue, if one is made by the dissenting property owners, be settled speedily, as Twelfth street from Market to Washington avenue is to be paved with asphalt as soon as the winter season is over. The contract for this has | already been awarded to the Barber As- phait Co., and it ls ready to commence the work ag soon as the seagon will permit. Thon, teo, the Waterworks Department is to lay the new 36-inch mains which are to connect with the Compton avenue reservoir, and ft is {mportant to have the lines of the street established before either of these big enterprises are commenced. Mr. Hartmann had passed a resolution requesting the Comptroller to tnform the Assembly whether there were city revenues available to increase the @olice force by one captain, eight sergeants and 100 police- men. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners petitioned the House to Inves- tigate their long-standing complaint against Conrad Keliermann, whe has the woodwork loague On its many achievements.

They allege that Kellermann, after having pledged him- self to employ only union men at union wages, has failed to de efther, and that he has discharged union men because they would not work for 30 cents an heur, when the union scale ts 35 cents an hour. Kellerman’s bid for the new City Hall | carpenter work was stoutly opposed by the | brotherfiood, and the Board of Public Im- provements refused te award him the con- | tract until he agreed to employ only union ' labor at the fixed ecale.
