4-4 1 New Structure Badly Needed, but the City Hw No Money to Build. The wrecking of a portion of the Twelfth Street; Bridge Thursday by a. Missouri Pacific engine has revived talk of the necessity for a new bridge at that point. That the necessity exists Is not questioned, although definite action has been deferred through lack of funds. The bridge has again been propped up temporarily, and this patch-work method of keeping it in repair will probably be continued indefinitely.

This state of affairs is irritating to Carl Gayler, City Bridge Superintendent-, and he frequently exclaims against it. but without avail. In discussing the Twelfth Street Bridge with a Post-EWspatch reporter Friday, Mr. Gayler said: "The city certainly needs a new bridge over Twelfth street. Although light traffic has decreased since the occupation of the new Union Station, the heavy traffic has been considerably augmented.

This class of traffic requires a strong, substantial bridge. With the opening of the new City Hall travel over Twelfth street will undoubtedly increase. The old bridee is inadequate to meet present and future requirements. It should be torn down entirely and replaced with an entirely new structure. Of course there are obstacles In the way.

One is lack of monev. And then, if the plan of making the bridge the entire width of the street is carried out, property damages would have to be paid." "What would be the cost of such a bridge?" "About $400,000. Appropriations could be made as the work progressed. It would take about a year to put in the stone work and It would be unnecessary to interrupt traffic until it was finished." It is peculiar that the railroads, which make such bridges necessary, should bear no share of the expense of their erection. When the present Twelfth Street Bridge, which was constructd in 1875.

was built the old Union Depot Co. paid $20,000 to the city, its charter containing such a stipula tion. J- THE LACLEDE CASE. Counsellor Marsnall Will Try to Have It Advanced. City Counselor Marshall, asked by a Post-Iispatch reporter if the pendency of the suit of the Laclede Gas-Light Co.

against the city, appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, would delay anv plan the city might have to effect a settlement of the conduit question and force the wires underground, said: "It serves to cloud the matter to some extent. The city can go ahead with a conduit plan, but while a settlement of the Laclede's rights is pending the city cannot adopt any plan which would shut out the Laclede company. "The Laclede company claims the right to lease to others, not only space in its conduits, but to sublet the right to lay conduits. I do not believe any court on earth would uphold such a privilege as that. My construction of its rights, if it has any, is that it cannot use and lease any street at the same time.

"As a matter of fact, the Laclede Gas-Light Co. exercises to-day its privilege of leasing to others. It has leased power privileges to the Laclede Power Co. The poles of the latter company have been erected without any permit from the city. The Laclede Gas-Light Co.

has had no dealings with the city at all." "When is it likely the case will be taken up by the Supreme Court?" "I am going to try hard to have it advanced and taken up next October. The case could not come up on the regular docket before October, JSKo, but when large interests are involved the court often consents to advance cases." BIIXY DESMOND'S COUSIN. Visit of the Counterpart of the Detective Chief. Wm, M. Desmond, United States Marshal for the Northern District of Iowa, a cousin of Chief of Detectives Wm.

Desmond of this city, is here on a visit. The resemblance between the two men Is so close that one is frequently mistaken for the other. They are about the same height, weight, and the clothes of one would exactly fit the other. He has been an officer for twenty-two vears and is one of the shrewdest men in the service. He is a little older than Chief of Detectives Desmond, being 43 years of age.

When only 21 years old he was appointed Deputy City Marshal of DeWitt, and at the expiration of his term was twice elected marshal. He was then appointed Deputy Sheriff of Clinton County and at the end of his term was elected Sheriff for three terms. Under Cleveland's first administration he was appointed United States -Marshal for the Northern District of Iowa, and upon the second election of Cleveland he was again appointed to the same position. His headquarters are at Dubuque. He will remain here about a week the guest of his cousin.

SHE "WAS IN A STATE OF MIND. Miss Titzgerald Airs Her Opinions at the lour Courts. Mrs. Fitzgerald, whose son. Dr.

John Fitzgerald, was arrested on complaint of the Mellier Bros. Drug appeared in the warrant office Thursday in an angry state ot mind. "I want to see Mr. Johnson," she said. He's the only sensible and civil man in the Four Courts." Mr.

Johnson heard her complaint. "I want to eet back the paper on which I signed my name for $500 bond," she said. ClerK wagemann nas it ana ne reiuses iu give it up." She was told that Mr. Wagerimann had no authority to give her the bond, as it had to be kept, in the court-room as a matter of record. Then she went on in another strain, but on the same subject, denouncing the Mel- llers.

After unburdenine herself Mrs. Fitzger ald stopped to give somebody else in the warrant onice a chance to taut, some one remarked that Divers had been lynched and the ire of Mrs. Fitzgerald was again aroused. "It'3 a shame to lynch that nigger and let Duestrow go free. If I had my way about that case I would lynch Duestrow.

Gov. Johnson and every expert who testified for Duestrow." Then she flounced out of the room before Col. Dick Johnson could explain that the Governor is his brother. Wharf Site in Carondelet. Three months ago Carondelet property-owivers, through the Carondelet Improvement Association, offered to donate the site if the city would construct a wharf in th South End.

Thursday Harbor and Wharf Commissioner Stone and Assistant Commissioner Whitledge, with Julius Moulton, the department engineer, and a delegation of prominent Carondelet property-owners inspects th proposed site. They selected 800 feet below Haven and Krauss streets, where it is estimated a wharf can be constructed at a cost of $21,000. Authority for construction will be Bought from the Assembly. 'Died of Texas Texas fever has appeared in St. Douls, but only four oows have been affected.

They were in the dairy of Joseph Winkle-man 205 May street, and from the disease, which was well defined. On a report by Sanitary Inspector Schle-irel Dr Starkloff took prompt measures to prevent contagion and believes there is no danger of Its spreading. Winkleman will isolate his cows and stopped the sale of the milk as soon as he discovered the ailment. As Mr' Winkleman has bought no new corns this summer Dr. Starkloff thinks they caught the fever from empty cattle care in the vicinity.

Competitors, Labor and Customers Uniting in a General Attack Upon -the Great Combine.

The Tobacco Trust is learning that troubles never come- singly. Within the past week it has been threatened from a dozen different sources. By October it will be kept busy warding off body blows, not from a single antagonist, but from a host acting in concert. The impending struggle has told on the organization and American Tobacco Company's stock has dropped from 118 to within six The latest move in the fight is outlined today in a dispatch from New York. Yesterday representatives of the National Cigarette and Tobacco Company, manufacturers of the Admiral cigarette, who have been fighting the trust single-handed for two years, went into conference with Messrs.

John T. Drummond, M. C. Wetmore and William H. McAlister, representing the Drummond and Liggett Myers plug tobacco companies of St.

Louis. A combination was formed for the purpose of selling cigarettes and all other tobacco manufactured in competition with the American Tobacco and fighting it along its own lines. The combination will agree to furnish the dealers with cigarettes, smoking and chewing tobacco at prices as low or lower than the American Tobacco and will refuse to sell to any one who deals with the Trust, though the Jobber mav freelv purchase from any other source independent of the Trust. During the conflict the small dealer and the trade generally will reap profits of which they have been robbed ever since the inauguration of the giant monopoly. Members of the conference gave it out that they were going to fight the Trust as a matter of self -protection.

They claim that th American Tobacco I not satisfied with the monopoly of the cia-reiie ana smoking tobacco trade, began a year ago to buy up plug factories in Louisville. Cincinnati nrt nthnr We-stern cities with the purpose of controlling this uupuruuii Drancui of the trade. Tfiey flooded the market with their goods, advertised them extensively and furnished plug tooacco to dealers at a loss, but recouped themselves through their monopoly of the cigarette market. Liggett Myers and" the Drummonds, finding their territory Invaded, decided to strike back; and, to reach the Trust in a vital spot, decided to enter the cigarette field. Within sixty davs, as has already been announced, both these com.

panies will be operating gigantic cigarette factories. This is not the only blow that will be aimed at the trust. As was outlined in these columns a few davs ago the Tobacco Workers' National Union, an organization affiliated with the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor, will take a hand in the fight and by placing their union label on all tobacco manufactured in the St. Louis factories give the local product! preference in labor circles over trust goods. Then there is another move on in the East that has already hit the trust hard.

The wholesale dealers of New England, tired of the dictatorial methods of the trust, have decided to have no further dealings with it. This rose out of an order of the i trust that no goods would be supplied houses that handled anti-trust goods. The Wholesale Grocers' Association of Indiana will probably follow suit and the anti-' trust manufacturers have agents out now doing missionary work and trying to create a hostile feeling among both wholesalers and retailers against the trust. Thrown hy a Runaway. Miss Josephine Mansfield, daughter of Jury Commissioner Fielding Mansfield, and J.

Terrv West, son of Capt. Thomas W. West, President of the St. Louis Trust were thrown from a buetrv at Grand and Cleveland avenue Thursday night. Their horse took fright at an electric car at Shenandoah street and Grand avenue, I and, running north, collided with a wagon.

The buggy's roar axle broke. Miss Mansfield became unconscious from the fall. Her face and head was barily cut. Mr. West received internal injuries.

He and Miss 'Mansfield were removed to her father's home in Waverly place. Robbed of a Year's Savings. An unknown negro knocked at the door of Farmer Huenger's dwelling, near Nameo-ki. 111.. Thursday afternoon.

Mrs. Buenger responded and was met by a demand for money, supported by an ominous shotgun. She gave him her husband's savings, and the robber fled toward the river."

Farmer Buenger was In the field when, the robbery occurred.

Strange Freak of an Old Farmer Who Wheels His Wife in an Invalid Chair. George A Meinberg, the salesman with J. Kennard Sons Carpet and Charles H.

Schulae of the Lammert Furniture Co. have a mutual complaint against the human race They both say'they don't mind being euchered out of valuable time or even money, provided it is done by a fellow who puts on the least pretensions to style. But when it comes to having a bon ton house hoodwinked by a sloppy old farmer, who pushes his wife on an Invalid's chair along the streets, it is unbearable. But they are In for it, and are taking their chagrin as heroically as circumstances will allow. A few days ago Sidney J.

Ester of Mount Vernon, 111., walked into J. Kennard Sons, and represented himself as being a very, able man financially and wantl to buy some fine carpets. Being shown every courtesy. Mr. Estey went out and rolled in his wife on ---invalid's chair, whom he said had been inj aj ad a their farm by a cyclone.

After buying $200 worth of Brussels carpets they wanted to be recommended to a first-class furniture house, saving that after all purchases had been made thev. would return before banking hours were closed with the cash. Polite Mr. Meinberg, out of the goodness of his "heart, helped by his own strength to roll the Invalid chair two blocks to the Lammert Furniture Co. The rich couple were taken in charge of by Salesman Schulze, who rolled the chair from floor to floor, in and out of elevators, and spent two long hours closing a $400 deal of fine furniture.

EEtey gave orders that the goods be shipped to Mount Vernon, 111., in care of Dr. Alvis E. Johnson. "See, wife, I told you it would cost $1,000 to get fixed up." remarked Mr. Estey as he left for the Planters' to get dinner Miey never returned, leaving behind him two perplexed salesmen.

Shultze wrote to Ir. Alvis E. Johnson of Mt. Vernon to know about Mr. Estey.

This morning the reply came that the last infomation received from Estey was that he purposed going to New York, whether to visit the vanderbilts could not he lum It developed that Estey recently married the woman whom he rolls in a chair, with- i out visible meaps of support.

8. A. Bankers Pleased With the Solid Dtmand for Money. HEAVY FALL TRADE COMING. Every Indication Points to the Best Season's Trade Experienced by This Section in Many Years.

St. Louis bankers, from the heavy demand for money at good rates from the solid mercantile firms of the city ana from the banks of the territory tributary to St. Louis, predict confidently a very fall business. The demand for money comes from men and -firms who need it to lay in stocks pie-paratory to a trade which, from their reports from customers, they know will be exceedingly heavy. The country banks are looking for money to carry farmers during the moving of the coming enormous corn crop and to accommodate cattle teeter ho are preparing to handle increased numrjers of cattle for the fall and winter marker.

The demand in its entirety is of acter which not only presages but actua iiy evidences a solid business boom, the weu which has not been seen in the Southwest In recent years. And, by the natural rt am of business sequences, this money wnicn is now flowing to first hands will again return through the channels of trade to add to tne prosperity of St. Louis, the gateway ot tne great West. Ordinarily July and August are emu months for bankers, but this year, they sa. there has been no dull season.

This speaks for itself. Another feature of the demand is that none of it is from the speculative element. C. W. Bullen, president of the National Bank of the Republic, said to a Post-Pis-patch reporter: "Business is decidedly brighter than usual at this time of the year and the usual midsummer dullness has not shown itself at all.

There is a good demand for money from the right sources. The merchants, in anticipation of increased values, have laid in larger stocks, and they have to be paid for. Then, too, the Southern banks will need considerable to carrv their custo mers until the crops are harvested, and this creates additional business for St. Louis banks. The business of this bank is largely i made up of the accounts of wholesale houses and, as a banker is to a certain ejtfent tne confessor of the merchant, we Are in position to know what is going on.

We find that the business in the dry goods, shoe and hat lines is heavier than ever and. judging from what they tell me, sales will aggregate more in those lines than in 1892, hitherto the banner year. The enormous corn Crop that will be harvested guarantees a large business during the coming fall, winter and spring, and the outlook was never better." President L. C. Nelson of the St.

Louis National Bank said that the demand for money was never better at this season of the year. "I understand," said Mr. Nelson, "that some banks are alreadv loaned up to their carrying capacity. We will have plenty to let out, but it will be at suffer rates than those now charged. The money going out is to the mercantile classes for legitimate business and not for speculative purposes." President G.

A. Baker of the Continental National Bank said that his bank was experiencing an active demand for funds from local merchants. As an evidence of the marked improvement in business he cited the fact that customers who have not borrowed for a year are now wanting money. His bank, he said, was also having a large inquiry from country banks "to meet thfc demands from farmers in carrying their grain crops and feeders of cattle for their purchase and feeding through the fall and winter. J.

C. Van Blarcom. cashier of the Bank of Commerce, said that an active demand was springing up for money. "This argues to me," said he, "a good business for St. Louis merchants that will last through the winter.

The main portion of our business is with the Jobbers, and it is from them that the inquiry for money George T. Cram, President of the Third National Bank, said: "We are having a first-class inquiry for the lending of money from the mercantile community, never better at this season. The business outlook Is the best this city that I have seen in many years." V. H. Lee of the Merchants'-Laclede National said: "Money is in good demand at this bank, and the outlook for fall trada in St.

Louis, taking that as an Indication, was never better." President Wm. Nichols of the Commercial Bank said that his bank was doing a line business. There was a heavy for money at 6 per cent, which indicated an excellent fall trade. The applications for loans were from business houses and not for speculative purposes. The usual sum-mi dullness in the banking business was entirely absent this summer.

R. R. Hutchinson of the Mechanics' Bank said: "The present demand for loans is vtry gcod, better than for some and as far as I can see the fall business of St. Louis will be excellent. All of our customers show a degree of confidence in the situation that is refreshing after the siege we have had to go through.

We are having considerable inquiry from country banks for fvuds to supply the demand from tgri-cultuiists and stock raisers." President Walker Hill of the American Exchange Bank said: "Business in general is good, and the demand for money normal considering the time of the year, with rates fair. In the East I notice that manufacturers of all kinds are starting up and that there has been an increase of wages in mnny lines. I think that our mercantile and agricultural interests, with good crops, will be in exceptionally good condition this fall." President F. W. Bieblnger oft the Fourth National Bank said that his bank was experiencing- a fair inquiry for loans and felt that all indications pointed to a heavy demand this fall for St.

Louis goods. All of his customers were expecting a heavy business and were preparing for it with heavy stocks. "I learn that some banks are already well loaned up," said Mr. Bieblnger. "Crops promise well, particularly corn, and while they may bring slightly lower prices there will be enough money realized to justify the farmer in buying The bank3 of St.

Louis will be found glad to loan money at reasonable rates to assist what we know to be the growth of St. Louis Dusiness. W. H. Thomson, cashier of the Boatmen's Bank said: "There is now a splendid demand for money and I expect it to be much better.

To illustrate the situation in th country, a banker in the cattle feeding districts wrote me asking advice as to whether he should lend to the cattle men. I answered that I should do so, and that this bank was intending following up that line. Rates for money are even now stiffening. The outlook, particularly in St. Louis, but all over the country in general.

Is for a fine fall business. There are magnificent crops in the country, and the. cattle now being raised will bring money to the raisers. Then there are cars to be built to move the crops and stock, and through these and other means money will get into circulation very freely. The situation is very rosy."
