DRAPER FOUND GUILTY OF HASTINGS’ MURDER ment at Imprisonment for Life in the Penitentiary. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JACKSONVILLE, Ili., Jan. 28.—The jury in the case of Charles L. Draper, for the murder of Charles L. Hastings, returned a verdict of guilty and fixed his punishment at imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary. The jury reached a decision after being out almost 24 hours. Draper showed little feel- ing, though he apeared a trfle paler than usual. His family was happily not present, and there was no demonstration, The audi- ence was rather smaller than usual, as a hung jury had been confidently expected, and it was a matter of surprise when the de- ‘cision was given. The vote of the jury stood 9 for murder and 3 for m@nslaughter: then ) 10 to 2; then 8 to 4; then 11 to 1, and finally _for murder, though one juror declared he | would never vote for hanging, Then cane | the question of the term of imprisonment, and it first stood 11 to 1 for life, and lastly i all for that sentence. Col, Dyer at once made a motion for a new trial, which will be argued Feb. 12; The crime was one of the most remarka- bie in the history of this clty and county, owing to the high character of the persons connected with the affair. In 1876 Charles L. Draper came to this city from Louisiana, Mo., well recom- mended as a sober citizen, an expert ac- countant and a gentleman. He sought em- ployment as a bookkeeper and found it in the abstract office of Judge E. P. Kirby, where he built up an excelient reputation as a real estate man and made a good many friends, though he was rather quiet and reserved. He had a lovely wife and charming daughter. They were excellent neighbors and al! went well with them until in January, 1896, he resigned his position with Judge Kirby. owlng to the fact, as he said, that ha could not get along with Charles L. Hastings. For awhile he sought employment in vari- ous places, and failed. He left the 3let of January and the first of June opened an abstraet office of his own and at once did a good business. He went to all the friends and acquaintances he had and solicited busi- ness and to patrons.of Judge Kirby he was especially assiduous, promising to do their work at far leas prices than they had been 'paving. The first abstract he made showed , at once that he had something more than / the county records to go by from the short |; time in which he made it and. from that time on the amount of business he did and the number of abstracis he made all showed that he had access to the abstract records of some person. Judge Kirby was kindly disposed toward | as office stenographer Judge Kirby employed a detective to watch the office during the night a part of February and March, but nothing developed, and the watch was given up. Judge Kirby said he had no desire to expose the man and ruin him and his family, but he did want him to return what he did évidently take and stop his practice, and that was all, —— ne me On the morning of April 1, 1897, Charles lL. Hastings was found dead in the abstract office of Judge Edward F. Kirby with his body terribly mutilated with a knife. the room showing evidence of a fearful struggle having been made, and with rio clew to the guilty man. Haetines was found by the janitor of the building about 6 o’clock fn the morning as The Jury Fix His Punish- Little Feeling Shown by the Prisoner When the Verdict Was Rendered. —a The po- an an in- the Cor- he went to sweep out the rooms. lice were notified and at once be Upon the arrival o oner, the body was examined and it was found that there were 172 knife wounds upon it. The Coroner at once summoned 4 jury of investigation and they examined a number of witnesses. One of the witnesses was Albert Morrison, who had seen Charles L. Draper on the evening before the body was found. When geen by Morrison, Draper was walking from Kirby’s office to- wards his own office, which was in the same block. When seen by Morrison, Draper had blood on his face and hands. Morrison was half intoxicated at the time, and followed Draper up the stairs leading to his own of- fice, and saw him washing the blood from his face and hands. When Morrison testified before the jury he told these facts, and Draper. who was still at large, was arrested and brought before the coroner's jury. He denied the whole story and said that he was at home on the evening before. Blood was found on the steps leading to his office and blood Was on the door knob, but he explained that by saving that he had cut his hand While whittling a stick. There was enough evidence to hold him, and he was placed in jail on a coroner’s warrant. When he was stripped at the jail his underclothes and shirt were found to be stained with blood, and his garments showed that he had tried to wash the stains from them. After Draper had been in jail threé days he tried to end his life by hanging. He twisted a sheet into a rope and fastened one end to the bars of the’ cell and the other about his neck and then swung off. He had not been there long before _ his sroans awakened the other prisoners. They fave the alarm and he was rescued. On April 7 Draper sent for his spiritual adviser, Rev. A. B. Morey, and made to im what purported to be a confess'on of the crime. He said in this confession that on the night of March 81 he entered the office of Judge Kirby, and knowing the combination of the vault, opened it and took from ‘ta book. Just then he heard a noise at the door. He extinguished the lantern which he had with him an@ started to leave. He said that Hastings then came in, struck a match, and as soon as he saw that Draper was in the room, Hastings rushed upon him. Draper said Hast'ngs threw him down and began to beat him, and in this position he took out a knife and began to use it. The room in which the murder was com- mitted Was a large one in the rear of Judge Kirby’s office. It was where the abstract work was done and was far back from the street on the seeond floor. The room was MO) feet jong and 30 feet wide. Every por- tion of the walis in this room was spattered with blood and every piece of furniture was besmeared with the ghastly fluid. There was every evidence of a fearful struggle having been made. About the door leading from the office were pools of blood, and it seemed as if Hastings had held the knob while he was being attacked from the rear. On the floor there was much blood, and it vestigation. ' was easy to see where some one had slipped several times in the gore. Hastings’ keys were lying several feet from the door, as though they had tried te open the door, and they had been knocked from his hand, In the hallway leading to the stars were blotches of blood as if thrown from a wound in the hand, and there were streams of blood which had run from beneath the door where the struggle took place. ‘The body when stripped showed cuts upon the breast, and many in the back, the larg- est gash being over the heap vein. There were 172 stabs tn all. age, almost mad- ness, is evidenced in every puncture of the dead man’s body. The arm that plied the knife must have kept at its work unt] all but physically exhausted, The case was brought continued until this term of the court. About a month ago Col.

The police and.guards Were sta- fjoned around the jail‘and the were locked in their cells. Capt. Huebler at first intended to allow the men to attempt to escape and catch them in the act, Fearing lives imght be lost. he Gecided to nip the scheme in the bud. The exercise hour was abolished for Friday and the guards made a thorough search of the cells, In their investigatiog Capt. learned how the delivery wae to be made Friday morning.

BERGESCH OF THE COMMERCIAL BANK HAS RESIGNED. SURPRISE ON THE STREET. Had Been a Long Time With the In- stitution and His Withdrawal Was Not Expected. Financial eclreles were much surprised to- day noon when announcement was made that Charles W. Bergesch, cashier of the Commercial Bank, had tendered his resigna- tion and had already severed all connec- tion wth that institution. The surprise was all the greater from the fact that no hint had been given that the relations between Cashier Bergesch and the officers of the bank were other than friendly. Indeed, he has been looked upon by patrons of the bank as enjoying the full- est confidence of Presidént Nichols, and the last man in the institution who would be likely to lose his position, Mr. Bergesch told his intimate friends that he voluntarily resigned to go into the grain business on his own account, | President Nichols said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that the resignation of Mr. Bergesch was handed to him this morning and was immediately accepted. He also said that he understood Mr, Bergesch intended going into the grain business. When asked who would be made cashier, Mr. Nichols said the vacancy would not be filled. _ We don’t ‘need any cashier,” said Mr. Nichols. ‘I’m-good for many years, and can take care of all the business without assistance,”’ A WARRANT ISSUED FOR THE MYSTERIOUS “JOHN SMITH.” a Te CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. tension and strain which his experience with ‘John Smith’ must have entailed. “TI have my own idea as to the identity of this John Smith.

That fact shows he generate his operations delib- erately and was then seeking the most available President.

One of the men volunteered the informa- ken, madame,” said tion that his fair companion thought she had identified the prisoner, but was mis- taken. The woman was asked if this were so. She replied that she was uncertain. She sald a robbery had been committed at her home and that she thought “John Smith” was rig robber, Further than this she would not talk. The three entered a carriage at Twelfth and Olive streets and were driven rapidly west. ‘ A Post-Dispatch reporter called at the number on Garfield avenue given by the police.

Wade Describes the Inter- view in Judge Madill’s Office. Festus J. Wade, next to Judge Madill, knows more about the mysterious ‘John | Smith's” actions at the Union Trust Co, ‘than any man in the city. It was Mr. |/Wade who entered the bank while the mys- tery was there and whose prompt action arrest. Mr. Wade accompanied into Judge Madill’s office, with Detect ves Badger and Tracy, mained there during the two hours of searchine cross-examination to which man was subjected, | Mr. Wade's story has not heretofore been itold. Tt wtll be found quite as interesting as any subsequent incident of the affair “When I entered the Union Trust bullding | Judge Madill asked me to get an officer 'quietiy, as he had an armed crank to deal / with,’ said Mr. Wade. “There was no -time to think much, but that if I took a police officer tn | body would get shot, perhaps unnecessar ly. |T calculated that if the man Was a cr the sight of the patroiman’s up:form might i jead to some shooting. “That was why I deemed it best to tele- phone Chief Deamond for a couple of de- ' tectives and run the risk of the delay.

The Prisoner manifested the most astounding coolness and adroitness. The questions he did answer were answered slowiy and with ail the cunning of an expert minister plen- ipo-‘entiary, “After what was at first supposed to-be nitro-glycerine turned out to be castor oil, the young man said he had bought the oil from Leland Miller, the druggist at Sixth and Locust streets. He said further, in answer to questions about his familiarity with the city, that Leland Miller was the pe 4 man in St. Louis whom he Knew by sight. “My opinion of the man is that he is weak-minded, but not insane. His attack upon Judge Madill was prearranged and premeditated. He intended to biuff the Judge with an eenpty revolver and a bottle of castor ojl that snould be mistaken for nitro-glycerine. If it worked he meant to escape into the street, throwing away his cap, and walking leisurely along, wearing the white Fedora hat he had concealed beneath his overcoat. If his plan failed to work, the fact that his revoiver was empty and that his nitro-glycerine was nothing but castor oil would go a long way toward establishing his plea that his conduct was merely an insane impulse or the freak of a crazy man. “He is a sharp, shrewd, designing fellow, and while I say he may be weak-minded, he lacks a long distance of being a fool, In either event, he should be locked up in the Penitentiary or the asylum. “During all the conversation had with him in Judge Madill’s office he gave not the slightest clew to his identity, and yeti about the only questions he refused to an- swer were those directly made name and place of residence, “TI wish statement that I don’t Want any more jobs of that kind.’’ erank | The Kentucky Legislature Demands THE MYSTERY’S OVERCOAT. Clothiers Do Not Believe It Was Bought in St. Louis. “John Smith’s’’ new Meltor overcoat bore the name of the makers, “Alfred Benjamin & Co., New York.” Two firms handle the product of that house in this city—F. A. Steer and W. G. Bova. Inquiry at Boyd's as to whether they had sold an overcoat of that kind tc a man resembling the mysterious pris- oner resulted im this reply: “We had no overcoat of that make that would fit a man of John Smith's size. he is pecullarly built, being very tall and very thin. The papers describe the overcoat as being long, reaching below his knees. That shows it was an old make. We had a few left over Benjamin overcoats, but none of them would fit John Smith. All our present stock is of the short overcoat.’’ At Steer’s it was said: ‘The Benjamin make of overcoats handled in St. Louis con- tain under the collar two tags, one bearing the name of the manufacturer and the other the name of the dealer, tightly stitched on. It is possible to cut one of them off, as per- sons do sometimes, to create an impres- sion the coat was bought in New York. “We do not remember having sold an overcoat to any person at all resembling John Smith.

He Speaks Pleasantly, but Reveals Nothing. “John Smith” preserves his sang froid and his impenetrable secrecy. The hat he wore wes bought in Buffalo, N. Y., and a Post-Dispatch reporter asked him Friday morning when he was in Buffalo last, and {if he lived there, He looked amused at the question, and after the usual pause, which he invariably makes before answering a question, he said: “Now, you know my policy in this matter. Iam not going to answer any questions as to my identity or residence, and it Is useless for you to ask me any.” ‘Have you had breakfast?” “Yes, it was sent in a little while ago— a good breakfast, too.” “Where did it come from nishes you with meals?” “John Smith” smiled and walked toward his cell, He refused to discuss himself or his case any further, except that in reply to a ques- tion as to how he passed the night, he said, “O, well enough. IT have slept in bet- ter beds, but I rested well.” “Smith’’ does not seem to be disturbed at all. He maintains a certain dignity, which has characterized his conduct throughout. He is quiet and reserved, but courteous at ail times. 1 Hle accepts visits of reporters as a thing to be expected, and does not take offense at being cross-questioned, lie laughingly referred to reporters thus: “You newspaper men are like a lot of leeches.

INTENDED TO PAY THE FIRM. ee JUST READY TO MAKE OUT A LIST OF ARTICLES TAKEN WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED. DENIES A SWEETHEART YARN. _ ~~ + eee Urfer Is Much More Cheerful Than He Was Thursday and Says the Po- lice Overestimate the Value of Goods Taken. Frederick C. Urfer, the erring confidential employe of the J. Bolland Jewelry Co., was arraigned. in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion Friday morning, charged in two counts stealing $4,000 worth of silverware, bric-a-brac and jewelry from his employ- ers, Ife watved examination and his bond was placed at $500 on each count. The young man was not represented by an attorney. His manner has changed since his arrest, and there are no more tears or hysterical conefssions of guilt. Friday he was even defiant and says with confidence that he will come out all right. During the night a plan of defense came to him. and Friday he boldly announced that all stories of yesterday's weakness are false. He is particularly bitter in his de- mnunciation that there is a girl concerned im his trouble. “Why do you always ring that fn whena man gets in jail?” he asked petulantly. “‘I never said a word about a young lady and the-e is none connected with this affair. They also want to implicate George Lamb. He had nothing td do with it more than buy a ring from me and he did mot know where 1] got it. “The charge that I took $10,000 or even $100 worth of stuff from the store is the veriest rionsense. When they get it all to- gether the total value will not reach $1000, It was all taken within the jast month, Before then I never took & penny'’s worth, “There was a bargain sale going on and I took the things because they were then marked down, intending to pay for them as my salary came due, I had already started On a list so that I should not overlook pay- ing for a singie article.” Phis line of argument seems to afford the young man tnfinite comfort, for his manner Was cheerful as he strolled about the jail court Friday after being returned from the Court of Criminal Correction. When asked what he intended doing with ‘the great variety of goods taken, he swore agen d at the newspapers and pronounced whole story untrue. the a of his two attempts to laughed heartily.

Olive streets, the officers say, he attempted to strangle himself with a towel. “There is not a word of truth in all that,” he said Friday. ‘‘Why should I want ‘to kill myself? This thing is not so.serious as the police would.like to make out.”’ He refused to answer any more questions and resumed his stroll in the bull ring, whistling as he went. J. J. Martin, grandfather of Fred Urfer. is well known among German singing so- cieties. He has lived in St, Louis thirty years. His own son worked at one time for the J. Bolland Jewelry Co. J. F. Sensen- brenner, manager of C. E. Hilts Shoe Co., says the old gentleman has stood high for thirty years. All his friends are glad that the young man’s confession leaves no stain on Mr, \Martin’s honorable name. “I had not even opened the two pack- ages,’’ Mr. Martin said. “I asked that a bill be brought so I could tell what to charge for the various articles. It was to have been brought the night after the boy's arrest, I threw the packages under the counter.”’ Mr. Martin says his mother, told him Fred things at auction down at Bolland’s verv cheap and asked Mr. Martin if he could sell them and make something for himself as well as a profit for his grandson. An- other younger grandson was sent along to carry the packages, as Mr. Martin had called on his way home from another daughter’s, where he had obtained a pack- age of clothing. daughter, Urfer's had bought some Mr. Rolland makes no charge gainst Mr. Martin. nse Miss Emma Frank of 2318 South Ninth street, to whom Fred Urfer was very atten- tive, was seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday morning and said: ‘Yes, I know Fred Urfer, but we are not sweethearts, although we ueed to be three or four years ago. We are still good friends and Fred came around occasionally with his mandolin and plaved for us. “Has he another sweetheart? Yes. he has, but since he hae refused to divulge her name I will not tell it. She ts a sweet girl and I know that Fred’s arrest came like a thun- derbolt to her. “I was never so shocked In my life as when I heard of it. I can not bellfeve him guilty.

It is a fair sample of many the board receives on the miserable condition of Judge Flitcraft does not blame the board because the streets out his way are well nigh impassable, but he lays the blame where it belongs—on the property owners who oppose street improvements. Judge Fiitcraft states that for a dozen years past he has lived in West Belle place, and he, with others, have spent consider- able money on personal and public im- provements, but that now it is difficult to reach their homes because the mud on _ the west cide of Newstead avenue and FPen- dieton avenue leading into West Belle place is fully a foot deep.

MISSOURI'S EXHIBIT, — Money Needed to Display the State’s Resources at Omaha. No State appropriation was made by Missouri for an exhibit at the Transmissis- sipp! and International Exposition at Omaha. But the business men and others who have the interests of the State at heart were determined that the principal Transmississippi State should not _be un- represented at the Exposition. For the purpose of getting up a creditable display the Missouri Transmississippi and Interna- tional Exposition Commission was created, with representatives from the various Con- gressional cistricts. The commission finds itself hampered for want of funds. At least $50,000 will be needed to enable the commission to make the kind of showing of Missouri's match- less resources that ought to be made. Suitable buildings must be erected at the Exposition, and the expense of collecting and arranging exhibits must be met. The commission appeals to the pubiic for suDdD- scriptions to a fund to meet this need, The headquarters of the commission are at Jefferson City. Hon. M. V. Carroll ‘s secretary. Subscriptions to the fund may either be’ forwarded there or sent to the Post-Dispatch, which will gladly acknow!- edge and forward any amounts contributed. Missourians who take pride in their State and have its future good in view will not he slow in meeting this appeal. Last night’s meeting at the Mercantile Club to ascertain what floor space would be needed at Omaha by St. Louis exhibit- ors Was well attended. Such representative citizens as Dan. C. Nugent, C. A. Cour, J. E. Kurney, John P. Camp, T. V. Thompson, Geo. A. Brown, L. J. Dening, E. A. Camp, Levi Chubbuck, J. H. Holmes, Geo, Stupp, James Arbuckle, A. B, Corwin, P. J. Too- mev, W. B. Knight, C. M. Shirley, Powell Jackson, A. Boeker, H. S. Tuttle and J. W. Van Cleave were there. Many prospective exhibitors are not yet prepared to state just how much space will be needed.

This hall was nothing more than ‘a cheap beer push,” as a disgusted spectator called it as he ejbowed his way through the mob to get out the door. A delegation of young men from the Uni- Club, each in full evening dress, entered the ballroom at 1 o'clock.

By 2 o'clock enough people had turned from the hall in disgust to allow the managers to replace the ropes, but the beer had begun to get in its work, and nobody geemed to care about a grand march. That's a way beer has of affecting too generous imbibers. The royster ne crowd had grown sodden, but the orchestra struck up a march and the dancing space gradu- up. The “march” was not re- markable for its figures nor for the grace .of its participants. One or two feeble efforts at high kicking were made, and once or twice some frisky nymph tried to sing, but no one Was en- cored, and the march was a d'smal proces- sion which served only to create a thirst for more beer.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 28.—In the quo werranto proceedings instituted in the Supreme Court in bane by the Attorney General to oust Judge <. CGC Bland of the St. Louis Court of Appeals for alleged vio- lation of the State corrupt practice act, on the ground that he had used more money in securing the office than was allowed by law, Judge Bland this morning filed his returns and answers to the proceedings. He makes a general denial of the allega- tions in the petition. He also demurs to the petition on the ground that it does mot constitute facts sufficient to warrant a cause of action. He holds in the answer that section 10 of the corrupt practice act, under which suit is brought, is null and void because it is in violation of the State Con- stitution and of the Constitution of the United States. Hie gives several reasons for this. The principal one seems to be that the act partakes of the nature of a bill of pains and penalties im violation of the Constitution of the United States. He also says he did not spend more money than the law allowed him and that he filed his expense affidavit within the time required by law. BLAND-NORTH CASE.

MURDER OCCURRED IN A BARN AND STREET CARS PASSED BETWEEN SHOTS. SHE WAS A SCHOOL TEACHER. Murder Occurred After a Day at Jef- ferson Barracks nnd Was Cold- Blooded and Without Remorse, Webb Himself Admitted. Charles Webb, the slayer of Mallie Wade, was allowed to enter a plea of guilty in Judge Flitcraft’s court Friday morning and accept a penitentiary sentence of 99 years. W. M. Farmer, associate counsel for the prosecution, and the parents of the mur- dered gir] entered a_ vigorous protest against the acceptance of the .plea, but thelr protests were in vain. Assistant Circuit Attorney Cramer fav- ored the acceptance of the plea and on his recommendation Judge Flitcraft imposed a life sentence. Mallie Wade was a teacher at the Dumas School. She was a mulatto and was very intelligent. She was 19 years old and lived with her parents at 172%% Texas avenue. She was murdered in a parn on Gravois avenue. near Jefferson avenue, on the night of May 30, 1895. Webb is a rather intelligent appearing negro.

On Decoration day, the day of the murder, he and the g_rl-had spent the day together at Jefferson Marracks. ¢They returned In the evening and the girl consented to ac- company hem to a room in a barn on Gra- Vois avenue, where he was in charge of some race horses Webb accused the girl of having bestowed her favors ywpon other men. She admitted she had flirted with them, but’ Cenied do- ingg anything wrong. Webb told the girl the had been false to him and h. intended killing her. She told him she would rather’ be killed by him than loved by another. This declaration of love did not stay him and he drew his revolver and fired. She fell helpless to the floor but was not dead. A Bireet car passed and the light from the caf shone on the dead girl. He raised her up and asked her if she was not dead. She Tepliied she wus not. He waited until the car was out of hear- ing aod sent anotmr bullet crashing into her brain. She died instantly. Then he dragged her body out of sight and left it, until .t was found next day. Webb told Solomon Williams the night of the murder: what he had done. He re- mained in the suburbs for a week or two end eveniualiy made his escape. He was Arrested = in Terre Haute last fall and brourht back to the city. He made a com- plete CONTeESSIOR, Attorneys staurer and Henderson repre- eenied Webb. They made several proposi- tions for entering a plea, but all were re- jected until Friday when Judge Cramer de- Cided to accept the plea. Attorney Farmer, the colored attorney Who was associated -with Judge Cramer ‘n the prosecution, was indignant. “The acceptance of such a plea,’ he said to the-court, “is a travesty on justice. Here is a self-confessed murderer who ad- mits he slew his victim in cold blood, al- lowea to plead guilty and escape bis just deserts.” , Judge Fiiteraft Iistened to the attorney's Objectians, but did not heed them. “I do not consider it a travesty when a man is €ent to prison for his natural life,’’ replied the Judge. Webb was pleased to think he had cheated the gallows, but when seen by reporters he Waa sullen and réfused to talk. A le ee a re SUING FOR A BOY’S DEATH.

The Belleville coal train on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad ran over John Ernst, the 9-year-old son of Henry Ernst, in Hast St. Louts at 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon. The boy’s lower limbs were mangled so that amputation of his left leg and right foot was necessary, and the chances are against his recovery. The accident happened at the Lotta av- enue crossing within two or three blocks of the injured boy’s home. Johnny was leisurely returning home from school ‘and playing along the railroad track. the shortest route to his father’s residence, 906 Louisa avenue. He saw the heavy coal train winding round a curve in sufficient time to have stepped off the track and Jet the train pass. He waited too long. In attempting to jump from the ballast- ing over the end of the ties the boy’s feet struck a rail and he fell, The engineer saw the youth’s perilous predicament and whis- tled for brakes, Johnny fell inside the rail and was stunned. In the confusion he rolled over the rail and left his lower limbs on the track. The speed of the train could not be slack- ened before the engine struck the little fellow. The train was stopped as soon as possi- ble and the crew picked up the boy and Summoned an ambulance. Johnny was removed to St. Mary’s Hospi- tal, where Drs. De Haan and Doyle per- formed amputation.

There is no more competent authority in St. Louls as to the advisability and neces- sity of an underground trolley system than Lighting A. J. O'Reilly. by Aside from being well versed in the ad- vantages of such a eystem his official du- tiles throws him in constant contact’ with the disadvantages of the overhead system for street railways. From the standpoint of an electrician fhe furnishes reasons why the railroads would profit by the system which, coupled with reasons tn ite favor from the standpoint of municipal safety to life and property, make his position im- pregnabl » period has arrived In St. Louis a6 in all other large cities,”’ said Mr. y, ‘when the question is not whether will suit the convenience of the railroad companies to put their trolley wires under- ground, but how soon they can get them there. The railroads being on the streets by eufferance subject to the tions prescribed by the city for their ope- ration. The same power that granted them the privilege to erect poles every hundred or Supervisor of City are them put those same’ Wires under the street, and as the grows, traffic clogs streets and the danger from the wires over- head increases the @ty will be compelled to make the railroads do, as far west as Vandeventer avenue’ or perhaps Taylor avenue, what {it has made the other wire-using companies do in the commer- cial district. “The greatest opposition to putting trolley wires underground ts the first cost, and even the permanency of the system, its saving in repairs, freedom from external interfer- ence, to say nothing of the added comell- ness it gives to the streets, fails to induce the railroad owners to adopt ‘t and abandon the danzerous and costly overhead system. “Rut the underground system is of no ac- count unless it is operated on two wires, and two I'nes of copper are not cheap a ong with the other construction necessary as an original investment, but it 1s one that will doubly pay for itself in time. The double circuit under ground system would solve the problem. Electrolysis is causing this city many year, and {ft will thousand dollars every continue to do so aS long as we permit electric wires to be grounded. As long ago as April, 1895, in my annual City report I called the attention of the Board | of Public Improvements and Municipal As- sembly to this subject. Experience more than confirms what I said then. “T used this language: “ "There is no part of the city traversed by street railways that does not show elec- trical disturbance between the water pipes ‘and the earth that surrounds them, tndicated by Instrumental methods. These indications do not prove the existence of destructive electrolysis, nevertheless destructive elec- trolysis is always accompanied by a differ- ence of electrical pressure, “ "The only effective methods to prevent electrolysis in this city are those made use of by plumbers and the Laclede Gaslight Co. to protect the lead and fron service pipes by placing them in vitrified clay pipe, and by coating with insulating material, But the ap- ‘plication of this method of preventive to the city water pipe system would involve an ex- pense that renders it out of the question. Aa this method becomes more generally used for the protection of the small pipes in the | affected district, the necessity for the pro- ‘tection of the larger mains Lasoo more pressing. It can only be accomplished by the expenditure of considerable money by the bot Phe the-corporations producing the elec- Cly, as ot am not able to estimate off-hand how long it would take to build the underground #ystem, but {t would require so many years that the necesisty for it would be felt long before it was completed. It would be a slow process because passenger traffic on the | Toads would have to be kept up, and most of the work would have to be done at night after the rush was over.’ ”’ KICKED HIS FRAIL WIFE. William Clemens Is Under Arrest and Pleads Intoxication. A frail little woman, carrying a 6-months- old baby on her arms, called at the Fourth Thistrict Station Thursday evening to have a cruel lNyusband arrested. She gave her name as Mra. Mary Clemens, and said she gesided at 1219 Washington avenue. “My husband has quarreled with me all day, and in a drunken frenzy attempted to throw me over the third story banister,’’ she said. “Failing in that he beat and kicked me, and I would have been choked had not a neighbor interfered.’ Mre. Clemens handed Capt. Joyce a note ‘from City Attorney Meigs owwhich § read: ‘Capture this man and I will see that he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” An officer wae sent at once to 1219 Wash- ington avenue and he arrested William Clemens. The prisoner admitted the truth of his wife’a statements. He pleaded intox- ication as an extenuating circumstance. ATTRACTIONS IN ST. LOUIS. How They Appeared to a Visiting En- gineer of the Wabash.

SOMEBODY STIRRED HIM UP. Speaker Farris Is Delighted and Thinks He Will Have Easier Sailing Now. Sam B. Cook has suddenly dropped all as- pirations for public office and will seek re- election as Chairman of the State Demo- cratic Committee (Cook is a fighter. Mild-mannered and gen- lal under ordinary circumstances, he can readily rise to the demands of any sort of a fight. Sam has been everywhere considered a candidate for Governor. He has never denied the allegation, Previously his name was con- nected with the office of Secretary of State. Hie did not deny that, But somebody said he shouldn't be Chair- man of the State Committee again. Now he proposes to see whether the somebody can run him out. He was asked tthe other day who would bea good man for the chairman- ship.

Col. O’Day will probably not be a candidate. He hardly has time to indulge in such work.” In this delightfully easy way Col. ‘Cook disposed of all his competitors, and now he Sw'ngs away from the Governorsh:p and n 6 wants {is the chairmanship. One man out of the way,” said Speaker John W. Farris, who is an avowed candi- date for Governor, “The retirement of Sam Cook makes me draw a long breath of re- lief. It has been said Lieutenant-Governor Bolte would be in the gubernatorial race, but Bolte told me last night the rumor was entirely unfounded, and he has no thought of becoming a candidate. Another good man out of the conflict.’’ Speaking of the growth of Democracy in the Southwest Speaker Farris said: _ If it had not been for the Populista and Free Silver Republicans of that section we would not have carried the State Demo- cratic ticket at the last election. You can figure it out for yourself. It is true that upon the basis of the Bryan vote the 2% counties of the Southwest will have an in- creased representation in the coming State convention of 30 delegates, as compared with an increase of six delegates in the 2% coun- ties of the Southeast over the basis of the vote for Bolte. But back of that is the in- crease for Bolte over the Democratic vote of the previous election. “When North and Jones withdrew from the Populist ticket a large proportion of the Populists and Free Silver Republicans of Missouri voted the State Democratic ticket as Well as for Bryan. This is easily shown in the fact that Adair County, for instance, the banner Republican county of the State, has almost doubled ‘ts representation in the State Convention. Yet Adair County is away up in the extreme northwest. The fact that the southwest becomes prominent in the distribution of delegates is Aue. to its wonderfully increased Democratic vote, cast in favor of Bryan and the State ticket by all classes of s lver supporters.” There are now only three candidates in the fleld for Governor in 1900—Farris, Dock- ery and Lesueur. It is sald that at the annual winter meet- ing of the Missourt Press Association at Kansas City last week the Democratic ed'- tors united in asking John A. Knott, editor of the Hannibal Journal, to become a candi- date for Secretary of State. He has the matter under advisement. FOUL AIR IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Health Commissioner Calls Attention to Unsanitary Conditions. Through a report complled by Chief San- itary Officer Francis, Health Commissioner Starkloff has, for the second time within a year, called the Board of Health's atten- tion to the unsanitary condition of the schools, All of the members of the board attended the meeting held at 5 o’clock Thursdey evening, and the report was discussed at length. It covers every school in the city and shows that in many of them the sani. | tary conditions have been neglected until | the health of pupils has become seriously imperiled. The report says that the schools are filled with foul air, arising from defective plumbing; that the weter and gas pipes are, in many places, worn out, and thar re- pairs on them have been neglected so long they will, in many buildings, have to be re- placed by new ones. Commissioner Starkloff sald it solutely necessary that the plumbing be re- paired, and that better venillation be pro- vided for the schools, or the consequences would be bad on the pupils and teachers alike. Drs. Hughes and Merrill concurred with the commissioner, and the former intimated that those responsible for the sanitary con- ditions of the schools were neglectful of their duties. The report will be sent to the School the Health Roard, with the assurance that Board stands ready to do its duty in assist- ing to remedy the evils complained of.
