H. Brinsmade of King, Brinsmade- I consider it a most excellent thing for Louis and cannot help being attended by the best results. It was a very enterprising piece of work on the part of the Post-Dispatch, and the paper deserves great credit for It. It has taken the initiative in the rtght direction to help St. Louis.

P. J. Cunningham of Cunningham Bros. Woolen Co. The publication of such an article is bound to do St.

Louis an immense amount of good, and it is Just what was needed, as our city has r.ot been advertised nearly enough. The Post-Dispatch cannot be given too much praise for the enterprise It displayed in getting up such an Adolph Baer of Baer, Seasongood Co. Tt will prove to be an excellent thing for St. Louis and was a most praiseworthy piece of business enterprise on the part or the Post-Dispatch. Adolph Baer of Baer, Seasongood Co.

It Is a good thing and the Post-Dispatch deserves great credit for the work. John H. Tennent of the Tennent-Stribhng Shoe Co. I consider it a most excellent advertisement for St. Louis, and one which cannot fail to be of great benefit to the city.

The Post-Dispatch Is a very enterprising paper and evidently has the welfare of the city at heart. H. W. Peters of the Peters Shoe Co. I heartily indorse the publication of such an article, as it shows to the people throughout the country lust what advantages St.

Following is the official plan of re-organlzatIon ot tne Distilling and Cattle Feeding Re-organlzation Committee: To the Stockholders of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company: The Re-organization Committee, formed Feb. 7, 1895, upon the request of tlie holders of more than a majority of the japltai stock of the above named company have prepared and deposited with the Manhattan Trust Company a proposed plan of re-organization, providing in substance as follows: First.

The organization or continuance of such corporation as" may be necessary to acquire or hold the assets and property of the company. I Second. The itfsue of the following se- curitles: $1,500,000 first mortgage 6s 20-year gold bonds (out of a total issue of $2,000,000) $7,000,000 5 per cent non- cumulative stock, common stock. Third.

Trust Comrjanv udoii such deposit and the serving of great credit for taking the lead in this matter as it does In all others. J. C. Roberts of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co. I think the spirit of the Post-Dispatch is always progressive, and the effect of the article will be widely felt.

Many merchants who are Undecided where to go to buy goods will be influenced by the experience of other merchants whom they know who have expressed themselves in favor of St. Louis in these interviews. The article is in keeping with the enterprise always displayed by the Post-Dispatch. Edward T. Haase, secretary A.

C. 1m Haase Sons Fish 415 anrt 417 North Second street I regard this very good way to advertise St. Louis. The more said about St. Louis the better.

It tends to bring outside people here. That kind of advertising does more good- than individual advertising. By advertising I mean simply showing the facts about the advantages of St. Louis. In a public statement of this kind I don't think that a man would say what he does not feel.

I think the Post-Dispatch deserves a great deal of credit In taking up the interest of the city at large in that manner. H. M. Meier, Vice-President of the Simmons Hardware Co. The Post-Dispatch's spirit is highly commendable and will I trust lead to good results.

A. L. Shapleigh, Secretary and Treasurer of the A. F. Shapleigh Hardware Co.

The Post-Dispatch interviews with country merchant show that the advantages of St. Louis as a general market are being yearly more and more appreciated. The outlook for trade in our line is very good. While we look for no boom, we are getting and expect to receive larger orders and a greater number than in preceding As a hardware market St. Louis certainly has no superior.

The Post-Dispatch is to be commended for its enterprise in obtaining the various expressions of country merchants. L. Renard of the Trorlicht, Duncker Renard Carpet Co. St. Louis jobbers and manufacturers as a rule are attending to their business closely push it with energy and devote little time for outside boasting, hence the Post-Dispatch is assisting our market creditably, by interviewing the leading houses and make it known broadcast that St.

Lffuis is a great market and doing the business. Keep at the good work of telling your readers how rapidly we are progressing in a comparatively steady, quiet but rapid rate. F. H. W.

Krenning, President of the Krenning Glass Co. The' Post-Dispa toil deserves great credit for its enterprise in interviewing the visiting merchants. Max M. Bodenheimer, wholesale groceries, 527 North Second street There is nothing that the country merchants takes to so much as a'newsiriper article. The Post-Dispatch deserve, much credit and if the newspapers wo'ld publish more frequently the advantages of St.

Louis it would increase our trade argely. August Beiling ef F. Burkart manufacturers, 523 North Second street It will undoubtedly be jf great benefit to St. Louis, and the paper which does this deserves much credit, for its patriotism. Edward.

president Edward Wes-ten Ten and Spice 517 and 519 North Second street Of course it will do a great deaA of good and I think that the deserves much credit. Albert Webb, president Albert Webb Supply 503 North Second street I should say that it will have a decidedly beneficial eJTect and the Post-Dispatch or any one who does so much for the benefit of St. Louis deserves much credit and ought to have the good will of the people. Rich B. Miller, president Collins Bros.

Drug 424 North Second street I regard that it will be of great benefit. Many persons who will be interested will read it. I regard that the Post-Dispatch deserves much credit. The press can do a great deal in that respect. Norris B.

Gregg, president Mound City Paint 406 and 408 North Second street I regard that it. will result in great good to the city and merchants. Publications of that sort are of as much benefit to a city as advertisement is to an individual firm. The Post-Dispatch is to be commended for its enterprise. P.

B. Gratiot, treasurer Levison-Blythe Manufacturing 307 North Second street A matter of that sort always does good to the city. It stimulates trade generally. R. H.

Whitelaw of Whitelaw wholesale paints and chemicals, 409 North Second street Anything of that sort always does good to the interests of St. Louis. My opinion of the enterprise of the Post-Dispatch is contained in what I think of the result. B. B.

Graham, president Graham Paper 219 North Main street I think it will be of much benefit to the business community. I regard that the Post-Dispatch deserves much credit for its course. J. H. Holmes of H.

L. Chase, manufacturers of bags, 8 to 20 North Main street I regard that it will be of benefit to the general commercial community. I think that any paper that helps the business of St. Louis in that or any way deserves credit. George A.

Roth, Vice-President Adam Roth Grocery Co. I think that the plan was an excellent one and that its effects will be felt in weeks to come by an increased trade. It shows that the efforts of the St. Louis merchants to make this a desirable market have met with success, and that its stock, prices and freight advantages compare more than favorably with any other city. Other merchants who do not trade in St.

Louis will doubtless pay this city a visit when they learn what their brother country merchants say of it. I think it would be well if St. Louis papers had more articles of this sort. B. Harris of I.

Harris 813 Washington avenue I think anything that talks up St. Louis is beneficial, but this scheme is the best of anything I have seen yet. as it gives the views of the country merchants themselves and shows us they are suited. That is far better than anything we could say. E.

N. Beach of E. C. Meaeham Arms 3i5 and 308 North Fourth street I think it an excellent idea, and I am glad to see you go into It. I am glad to see these kindly expressions toward St.

Louis. She is getting to be a large market and in almost every line. The merchants in tributary territory can buy goods here to better advantage than in New York. It is a heavy center for sporting goods, and more of that line is distributed than from any other one city in the country. The Post-Dispatch has certainly eclipsed itself in this effort.

C. W. Builen, President National Bank of the Republic The Post-Dispatch certainly deserves a great deal of credit for hunting up such a thing and getting it before the people. It cannot help but do good. B.

F. Edwards, Assistant Cashier National Bank of Commerce I think the article you show me will be of great advantage in advertising this city throughout the country. George T. Cram, President Third National Bank I think the Post-Dispatch has shown great enterprise in getting up such an article as It is calculated to boom the city and to bring much new trade here. G.

A. Baker, President Continental National Bank I commend the enterprise of the Post-Dispatch and the energy displayed in getting these interviews, and think It for the best interest of St. Louis. W. C.

Schutz of F. R. Rice Mercantile Cigar 305 North Third street-t-St. Louis will certainly be benefited by the article you show me, as it will impress those merchants who do not buy here, and who do not know the extent of the manufacturing interests -f the city, and will persuade them to come re. The Post-Dispatch has shown won-ful enterprise in getting these expres- of, opinion from visiting merchants.

rge B. Thomson, Goodyear Rubber Fourth street-Jt is a good idea .1 will keep the city and her merchants the public. The Post-Dispatch de-jrves great credit for the enterprise and energy displayed in the matter. E. B.

Wilder, Day Rubber 415 North Fourth street All such things help, as it makes the country merchant think we are after him and want his trade, and intend to get it. The Post-Dispatch showed wonderful enterprise in the matter. Wm. J. Fritsch, manager Moffit-West rug Co.

The Post-Dispatch is to be contended for its enterprise in obtaining so any indorsements of country merchants, nd showing to the world what people think jf Louis as a market to buy in. L. J. Peck of Goddard-l'eck Grocery Co. I think the idea was an excellent one, and does credit to the paper that originated it.

The merchants who deal in the St. Louis market are Rhrewd men. and the publication of their reasons for coming here will bear fruit. E. G.

Scudder of Scudder-Gale Grocer Co. The merchants who come to St. Louis do po for good practical reasons, because they are business men. When thy give their reasons for coming here, they specify the advantages of St. Louis as a market.

I believe that the interviewing scheme was an excellent way to reach them. llenrv Reinhart of James W. Scudder Others May Have Been Lost in the Longfellow. CINCINNATI. Marc AotaI.

It took less than four hours yesterday for the Jury to return a verdict of "Guilty" in the case of Harry Hayward, charged with murdering Catherine Ging. Judge Smith concluded his charge to the jury about 11 o'clock, and the twelve men immediately retired to the iurv-room. The Jude-e remained in the court-room an hour, and then adjourned court till clock. Meanwhile immense crowds had gathered in the neighborhood and a riotous demonstration was feared in case the verdict should be "Not guilty." About 2:30 o'clock it was announced that a verdict had been reached, but it was kept a secret until Hay-ward could be conducted back to Jail. As soon as the verdict was announced Assist' ant County Attorney Hall moved for im mediate sentence, but owing to the absence of Erwin, the leader of the aetense, passage of sentence was postponed until Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

Hayward took it all rather coolly, though he seemed somewhat angered by the Jury's decision. Following close upon the verdict another sensation was sprung last evening wnen warrants were sworn out against two of the witnesses for the defense, charging them with perjury. The warrants were sworn out by Attorney R. R. Odell against Maggie Wachtler, formerly his stenographer, and George A.

Grindell. The former is charged with perjuring herself in that part of her testimony in which she swore that Claus Blixt, in his statement to Mr. Odell before the trial began, told a story in which he charged Adry Hayward with conspiring with him to murder Catherine Ging; that he was interrupted by Odell and told not to mention the name of Adry Hayward, and that he retorted that he thought he was ex pectcd to tell the truth. The warrant is a lengthy one and reproduces from the court records of the Hayward case those words uttered by Miss achtler on the stand which are alleged In the warrant to have been perjury off her part. The warrant against Grindell also pro duces his testimony in which he swore that he saw Catherine Ging stop her buggy at a corner near the West Hotel on the night of the murder, and hold a conversation with a man described as wearing a full gray Deara and mustache and pointed shoes.

lhis testimony was introduced bv the de fense in an attempt to show connection of some supposed third man with the mur derer and was refuted on the stand by wit4 nesses for the State, who showed that Grindell was in another part of the city at the time that he swore to having been near the West Hotel. Both of the accused witnesses were arrested late last night and Miss Wachtler was later liberated on her own recognizance, upon the order of Judge Holt or tne jviunicipai court. HE SLEEPS BADLY. It was 4 o'clock this morning before Harry was ame to get to sleep and then he slept fitfully. Aside from his restless ness there was no indication that the mar velous nerve of the man had been at all affected.

He was confident of acquittal and had packed his clothing neatly in a valise while waiting for the jury's verdict. His only rear was violence from the crowd when acquittal should come. When he reached his cell he was apparently as unconcerned as ever and his first remark was: "My God, i ii nave to unpacic this thing now. if don't my clothes will get wrinkled." When he was removed to a cell on the second floor of the big cage he seemed to realize more fuliy his perilous situation The usual evening game of cards was omit ted. Harry had no heart for cards last night.

At 10 o'clock this morning he still slept. A day and night watch has been put over him. George A. Grindell was arranged in th Municipal Court on the charge of perjury, and the examination set for next ednes day with bail at $1,000. Miss Maggie Wach ter demanded an immediate examination on the perjury charge, but this was denied, as the State wanted time.

Her attorney also demanded that she be released on her recognizance, but the State would not con sent to this, and the case was continued un til this afternoon for further consider tion. ST. PAUL, March 9. There was an unusual scene in the Minnesota aenaie ye-terdav ofternoon. Lieut.

Louis to engage in the work of Sunday reform in conjunction with Sam Jones and local clergy. -3Fhe air oT purity that now pervades model New York will not be a circumstance to high moral tone St. Louis will enjoy when th)e work of renovation is complete. There is trouble in store for any merchant, shop-keeper or saloon-keeper who is guilty of violating the Sunday law. The Sabbath Association has met and decided definitely upon a line of action.

Sam Jones has been appealed to. to lend hi8 moral support during the rest of his stay and Dr. Parkhurst of New York has consented to come in a few days and deliver a series of lectures to aid thework. to aid the work. Attorneys Hopkins and Nicholson have been retained to prosecute all violators of the statutes and ordinances, and the plans are complete for an active campaign against sin.

The committee which is to secure evidence against violators of the Sunday law are Rev. S. H. Werleln, Moses Greenwood, Chas. E.

Stokes and Rev. M. B. Gott. Offenders will be tried under Section 3855 of the Revised Statutes of 1S89, which provides that any person exposing for sale any merchandise, goods, ales, beer, liquors, or whose place of business where such are displayed is open on Sunday shall be fined not more than $30.

In addition to this there is a special act applying to saloon-keepers, which provides that they shall upon conviction be fined to $200, their licenses revoked and they declared ineligible to obtain a license again in the State for two years. Attorney Hopkins, when seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter, said: "This is not a church movement nor is it confined to any creed or nationality. It is simply a struggle against the oppression of seven days' work every week without recreation. The National Clerks' Association have adopted a resolution to enforce the Sunday law and others are fighting on the same line. A merchant does not want to close because his competitors do not, but when they all have to they will be well satisfied.

Some of our most -active workers are Hebrews. "No, I am not supposed to secure evidence that is in the hands of the committee. Our duty is to prosecute such cases as may come before us. I do not anticipate a long crusade. I think when the violators of the Sunday law see that the association is in earnest they will give in without a struggle.

The law Is plain and their conviction certain if they do not close." "Of course the ministers of the city will do all in their power to aid us in a moral way. In conjunction with the local preachers, Sam Jones and Dr. Parkhurst will pour hot shot into the ranks of the violators and bring them to a realization of what is the proper thing to do. Rev. Sargent, who recently came here from Massachusetts, will also assist.

WITH A BURGLAR. Fractured Skull the Reward of the Invading Thief. Timothy Stevens and his two brawny sons, who live at 306 Lami street, gave Hank Smith, a burly negro burglar, Buch a warm reception at 1:40 a. m. Saturday that Smith is now at the City Hospital with a badly swollen head, most of his teeth out and Ms eyes swollen and closed.

Mr. Stevens' wife recently fractured her leg and. from pain, has slept but little since meeting with the accident. Just after 1:30 she heard a noise like the rattling of the kitchen window but paid no attention to it as she thought it might be the wind. A few minutes later she distinctly heard the footsteps of some person in the kitchen and the next moment thought she saw a man peeping into the room occupied by her husband and herself.

Satisfying herself that there was a burglar in the house, she quietly awakened her husband, who immediately jumped out of bed and rushed at the Intruder, who proved to be a huge negro. Mr. Stevens and the intruder battled fiercely. Both being strong men it was nip and tuck. Stevens floored the darkey and together they rolled on the floor, first one on top, then the other.

While her husband was giving the negro the standoff Mrs. Stevens raised an alarm and Stevens' two sons came to his aid The negro had by this time succeeded in putting the elder Stevens in a helpless position, on his back, and was trying to get at some weapon in his pocket. As soon as he saw the sons, however, he jumped to his feet, seized a lighted coal oil lamp and hurled it at them. The missile did not hit its mark, but the negro hastily grabbed two other lamps which were in the room and threw them at the Stevens. The reinforced by his sons, renewed the attack after the lamps had been thrown.

They closed in on the negro and, with considerable difficulty, succeeded in throwing him to the floor, despite his biting, kicking. Bucking and punching. Though down on the broad of his back, the burglar continued to fight, but not for any length of time, as the sons and father rained blows on his head and body in such rapid and forcible succession that he was soon, not only unable to see, but could not move. After they had put him in this condition they bound him hand and foot and sent for the police. Sergt.

Purcell and Officers Beard and Stewai hastened to the house and the negro was taken into custody. He was found to be so badly injured, however, that it was necessary to move him to the City Hospital. There it was found that in addition to his other injuries his skull was fractured on the right side. The prisoner gave the name of Hank Smith, said he was! a roustabout and that he arrived here only a few days ago from New Orleans, on the steamer Belle of Memphis. His excuse for being In Mr.

Stevens' residence was that he went there to see a man. He didn't know the man's name, but knew it was an Irish one. Smith entered the Stevens residence by cutting the slats in a rear kitchen shutter and then raising the window. Several new knives were found in Smith's possession, and it is thought he was trying to get on of these knives during the fight. Nothing has been missed from the Stevens home.

WILMINGTON, March 9. Last night a gang of about fifty tramps captured the Philadelphia, Wilmington Baltimore freight train from Baltimore, which was due in this city about 11:30. The tra.js got on the train just outside of Baltimore and at once began to abuse the trainmen. Conductor Riley and his crew were powerless. A few of the gang had revolvers and all were armed with knives and clubs.

One brakeman was caught on top of the car and beaten. In the fight his lamp was broken and the tramps then attempted to force him from the car. He managed to escape and took refuge on the engine. At Chase Station the trainmen were all driven from the tops of the cars and it was expected that an attack would be made on the engine. But after the tramps had secured possession of the train they began quarreling among themselves and during one of their fights a man was thrown from the train and it is supposed in the fall wai injured, if not killed outright.

conductor Kiley telegraphed to tnis city for help, and when the train reached the west yard here there Were about fifty policemen in waiting. As soon as the train was brought to a stop the tramps jumped from the cars and started to run across the fields. The heavy fog prevented the officers from i capturing many of the men, but after a running fight in which several shots were fired, the police succeeded in securing eleven of the gang. When the tramps were cornered they showed fight, and only surrendered at the point of revolvers. This morning the prisoners were given a hearing and were given jail sentences.

In this way it not only gets a consensus of opinion from the people who deal with us, hut it also acts in the nature of advertisement for the city, and causes numbers of other merchants to come and investigate for themselves, and after once coming here thev seem to be well satisfied.

VERY SHREWD YOUNGSTERS. They Cause Their Prosecuting Witness to itun Away.

James Hilliker, his brother John and James McMullen, boys between 10 and 13 years old, were arraigned before Judge Mor ris Saturday, charged with discharging firearms. Owing to the absence of Wm. Fitzgibbons, aged 12, who was the principal witness for the city, the cases were dis missed for want of prosecution. The Fltzgibbons boy lives at zao Kanaoipn street, and the defendants in the same neighborhood. February 28 last the Hilli-kers and McMullen were shooting a cat t-iflo In the nllev back of their homes and as the Fltzgibbons boy passed through the alley, it is said, one of the trio who handled the rine leveled tne weapon ai mm anu fired, the bullet taking effect in the lad's leg.

Officer Guthrel arrested the Hillikers and McMullen, but the case has dragged along in the Police Court without trial ever since. Fitzgibbons, it is said, was bent on prosecuting the trio of youths, but the latter very shrewdly circulated the report that he was to be arrested for throwing stones and sent to the House of Refuge. Young Fitzgibbons became alarmed when he heard this, and ran away from home. His whereabouts are at present unknown. WAEEH0U3EMEN ACCUSED, They Are Charged With Violating the State Law of Illinois.

And he shall receive said uonds so subscribed for and 20 per cent on the par of his present holdings, and stock in the new preferred stock and 8 per cent in common stock.

The proceeds of the bond Issue will be applied to retire the outstanding $1,000,000 of bonds and the rebate vouchers and other claims as provided in the plan; $500,000 of the new bonds will be reserved to be issued only in case of an emergency upon the unanimous vote of the committee, or subsequently by a two-thirds vote by the new board. Fourth. Negotiable receipts will be issued by the Manhattan Trust Company on deposit of stock, and application to list the same will be made to the Stock Exchange. The subscription to the above issue of new bonds has been underwritten by a syndicate. The reports of the experts employed by the receivers show an available surplus of current assets over current liabilities of more than $1,000,000.

The effect will be to make that surplus entirely available as working capital for the re-organized company and to provide a sufficient reserve against future contingencies. Although the court upon the application of the committee has removed Mr. Green-hut as receiver and placed the assets and property of the company in safe hands, the president and directors still remain in control of the organization. Under existing circumstances a judicial sale of the property of the company and a dissolution of the present corporation may take place at an early date. It is imperative that stockholders should unite at once to protect their general interests and empower their representatives to take immediate action to that end.

In view of the necessity for immediate action the committee has fixed March 25, 1S95, as the limit for the acceptance of deposits under the plan. Copies of the plan of re-organization and form of assent can be had on application to the Manhattan Trust Company, corner Wall and Nassau streets. New York. (Signed) RICHARD B. HARTSHORNE, JOHN I.

E. HUTTON. EASY 10 DRESS WELL, But Jack Williams May Find Himself Without Clothing. Jack Williams, alias Harcourt, a dudish young fellow, who has figured In Police circles on a previous occasion, was arrested by Detectives Zlegler and Bambrick Friday night at Twelfth and streets, and has since been identified as having connection with several overcoat thefts, one an Irish frieze, stolen from H. Foss, an optician at the Lindell, March 2 last.

If identifications continue as at present Williams, in a short time will not have a rag to his back. Harry Kiel, an employe of the Globe Shoe and Clothing Company also has identified an overcoat which Williams was wearing as his property, stolen recently from the billiard room of the Lindell Hotel. The police have in their possession an Irish frieze double-breasted coat, with the name, Rodger Pate, New York, on the collar, which thev think was stolen from the Lindell by Williams. C. W.

Stapp, an insurance agent who lives at the Moser Hotel, identified the suit of clothes and the underwear Williams was wearing as having been stolen from his room at the hotel about a month ago. Detectives Flynn and Badger say that there are several thefts of overcoats, the owners of which are traveling men now out of town, which they think the prisoner figured in. Williams, under the name of Haynes, alias Harcourt, was arrested several months ago on complaint of Mrs. Haynes of 130S Olive street, who alleged that he passed a bogus check for on her. He was also accused at the time of stealing a valise from J.

C. Dodds of the Lindell Hotel. About the time he was first arrested the prisoner had been in St. Louis but a short time. He claimed be the son of an old English family, and dressed in the height of fashion.

At present he is very nicely garbed, has his hair cut In, English style and wears patent leather shoes. But the prospects for him, if identified clothing is returned to the owners, is nothing but nature's adornments. KILLED IN THE SENATE. One ot the Recommendations of the Dockery Commission. WASHINGTON, March 9.

There was one effort of the Dockery Commission which failed owing to efforts of the Western Senators. The commission had recommended and the House had incorporated in the legislative appropriation bill a provision to repeal a section of an act passed in 1SS0, which gave the successful contestant of a land entry thirty days to file upon the land. It was claimed by the commission that this thirty days preference right was a premium upon contests, and that many contests would not be initiated if the law was repealed. Late in the night after the very stirring scene between Senators Chandler and Hill and when there was no longer, a quorum in c.nain. T-f brnli nf 'N'nrth Dakota moved to strike out the repeal.

This was resisted by Senator cocKrell. Mr. Hansbrough Insisted that a contestant wno naa spent time ana money in ecung the cancellation of a land entry was entitled to the benefit which the law of 1S30 had given him. The Western Senators rallied around Senator Hansbrough in advocacy of striking out the Dockery provision. The vote was taken but the result being in doubt Vice President Stevenson was about to call for a division when several Senators, Mr.

Cockrell among them, protested and asked for a "viva voce" vote again. This was taken, and the Vice President decided with Mr. Hansbrough. BT. LOUIS ARCHITECT NAMED.
