Kxpress-3iesenger Kejo, AVho ted Mis Anderton Astray, Attempts to Bluff Her Mother, Who Followed the Couple From Kentncfey A Mention of the Penitentiary Causes Him to Weaken Marriage License Secured From Kecorder Hobbs, After a Lecture by the Kecorder A 16-Year-Old Beauty's Terrible Flight The Marriage Ceremony to He Performed This Evening A Story Full of Sadness. A couple of arrests were made by the police last night in an elopement case that Is peculiarly sad. Several years ago there lived In fit. Loui a young physician named Dr. Anderson.

He removed to Columbus, with his wife, and some sixteen years ago a daughter was born to them, fhe was a bright, comely little one, and as the parents never had an Other child, she was petted and humored in every way. Time rolled on, the father died. In his lifetime he had not accumulated much of this world's (roods, and his young widow was left ith their little darling to raise. Her husband dead, the poor woman had nothing further to live for bnt this child. Her whole heart and soul were wrapt op In her.

It was a hard struggle to support herself and the girl, but the good woman was eijual to It. She knew a little about sewing, and turned ber attentions to dressmaking. Her neighbors in the town in which she lived sympathized with her In her misfortune, and did all In their power to help her along. She might not have been as expert In the use of the needle at first as others, but she needed the work and It was a charity to give It to her. Her Industry gained the admiration of everybody, and she certainly deserved all the little favors she received at the hands of her townspeople.

Day and uight her busy needle was kept going. Those weary fingers hich piled it often knew no rest until far Into the morning. But In all her struggles there was one thing which buoyed her up, and when her fingers tired or her eyes grew weary, she had only to think of It and she again ent at her work with renewed vigor. This object was her child. As time flftted by the little girl grew more and more into her mother's affections, aud the poor woman could thluk of nothing else.

Each succeeding day saw the child brighter and more beautiful. As she began budding into womanhood her sweet face was not only noticed by the fond mother, but the townspeople all remarked what a handsome yrung laiiy the girl was growing to be. Jessie was the name that had been given her. Of course the boys of tho town were not slow to appreciate, her beauty, and when 12 or 13 years of ae. she had plenty of childish suitors among them.

The poor widow had conceived a great lut ure for her child, and bent all her energies to earniri-r enough money to Keep Jessie nicely drcnsi and to educate her and give her accomplishments that would fit her for a higher i-phere than their limited means would naturally give them. Enough to eat and a few calico dresses was all the poor woman anted lor liei self but nothing was too irood for Jessie. The girl was sent to the best school in the town, and no girl in the place, was more tastefully dressed. To make er the better fitted for the station in life the fond mother had expected she would be called upon to till, MUSIC AND OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS were added to the girl's education. To be sure, nil th' se luxuries for the daughter were a severe tax or.

the mother, but bv working day and night and denyintr herself all but the scantiest necessaries of life she managed to accomplish her purpose. 15ut as the eirl approach ed womanhood she began to exhibit traits that worried her mother. The po, widow saw when too late that she had allowed her fei -lings to carry ber too far. In the tender Solicitude for the happiness of her child, she had petted and humored her too much. 1 he rod had been spared and the child spoiled.

At tile age of 14 years Jessie was no burner the sw eet, amiable child her mother had always thought she would re main, For soma time the girt had been showing the results of over-indulgeuce, but the widow was slow to notice it, and thought these displays of temper shown hy the chill were only turn clouds, which would soon pass and leave the sky bright and clear. But Instead of passing awayth clouds only thickened and darkeued. When Jessie was 15 years of aire she disputed her mother's authority, and It was not long Defore she held at least partial sway as ruler of the little household. In vain did her mother endeavor to depose her and bring the girl back tinder her control as of yore. It was too late, however.

Jessie had been given her way too long and was now determined to be her own mistress. The poor widow's idol was shattered. And then It was that the girl began to choose her own company. Among others she bad formed the acquaintance of a young man named CHARLES KITO. He was a messenger for the Pacific Express Company on the Iron Mountain road and visited Columbus on his trips, though his home was in M.

Louis. Mrs. Anderson did not fancy Keyo ana suspected that his Intentions toward her daughter were not good. Fhe tried to dissuade Jessie from going with him at all. hut It was ail no avail.

The girl would go ith him, and so informed her mother. Keyo was ordered to keep away Irom the house, and then the elopement was rdanned. Jessie was now In years of aire, Quite young to be sure, hut she was worldly and continent. Last Monday morning she left home, supposed I to no to her musle teacher's, but she tlul not return. The mother Instantly su-pected that she had met Kevo and pone to St.

Louis with him This sus'picion was strengthened when she was told that he had been s.en helping Jessie Into his express car. Tuesday the poor woman took a train and came directly to this city. Mie learned where the messenger's mother resided, and to her related her story. Keyo's mother inCorined her that the girl was not at her house and that she had heard noth-Ing of the matter. Keyo had not been home the night ins car got In.

claimlnit he had to watch it all nktcht, a'id he had only been home on Tue-day morning long enough to change Ills clothes. Ills mother stated that if he had tun off with the girl, be would have to marry her and she jld Mrs. Anderson to force him to do so. 1 hen it wns that Mrs. Anderson applied to the police to help her find her daughter.

As Keyo bad uoiie out again on another run and would not he hack until Wednesday (lat) nlxht, she was tolj to cull on hief Huebler again. Mie did so sli rtly before 6 o'clock last evening and Ietective iiobbs was detailed to arrest the messenger. Kevo was followed from the depot, when he arrived, to the l'a-cifie Express office, and when hn made his re- rort was arrc-ted. As first he denied all nowledgo of the girl, but afterward weak-ened and admitted he bad brought her here and that sue was at the residence of friend of his, Joseph lute, at No. ri3 Bremen ave-noe.

White Is a fellow messenger. It was after o'clock when Keyo was arrested nd it was near uiijniifht when Hohhs rest bed bile's resilience. A rtnir at the bell brought the messenger himself to die door, and tie admitted that the girl was in the house. Mie was told that an otlieer wanted to sea ber and said caiuilv that she would dress herself and sen him. S'ot the slightest emotion did she display.

"Then, I'll not marry her, and yon can do your worst," he said, turning on his heel, and be was taken back to his ceil. THE MATTtlt SETTLLD. The mother then lelt without seeing hor daughter, determining to come back today to do so. This morning tne girl and Keyo had a talk, in which he tiirreed to marry ber immediately. It was 9.30 o'clock when Mrs.

Anderson called at Chief Iluebler's olliee. Mie was accompanied by a lady and gentleman friend. When she came to the city her first intention was to send her daughter to the House of the Good Shepherd, and to prosecute Keyo for seduction. Her plan was altered, however, when she found that ber child would in a few months become a mother, and she determined to insist upon heir marriage. The girl had been turned over to Mrs.

Harris, the police matron, and she brought her into the Cnief 's ortice to meet her mother. It was a cold, yet touching meeting. Jessie Anderson is a girl old beyond her years, yet childishly foolish. Mie Is pretty, decidtdiy so but as cold and hardened as marble. And yet to look at her no One would ever see anything but innocent childishness In her face.

She has a round, full face, large, soft black eyes, a pretty niouih filled ith two rows of pearly, regular teeth and a fair, delicate complexion and dark hair. This morn ing she was prettily dressed in a suit of an olive hue, in neat hat, and dark shoulder-cape. As she entered the room she gazed at her mother ithout the slightest display of emotion. When her mother Lurst into tears and asked her why she had acted as she did, she replied coldly that she had done so because she had not been "treated right at home." Her home was not a happy one. "You know.

Jessie," said her mother, between her tears, "that our home -was, always happy until Keyo came there. 'Ihe girl made no reply but looked defiant. She said Kej was not to blame in the affair, and that she loved hiui and would go with liirn. "I'll send you to the House of Good Shepherd and him to the penitentiary said the mother. Then for a moment, but for a'moment only, the girl gave way to tears.

They were not tears of sorrow however, but tears of fear. In a moment she was calui agaiu and said defiantly "You can't send him to the Penitentiary, and If you do, I'll follow him, lor 1 love him. KEYO WaS THEN- BROUGHT IN. He is is years of age, about 5 feet 7 inches tall aud of the character of a tough. His face is deeply pockpitted, his eyes rather bad looking and of a ray color, and his whole appearance rather repulsive.

He wore a little low-crowned, round, soft felt bat of the style so popular among the hoodlums and spr ng-bot-1011 pants. When he walks he has the "bad man" swagger. He immeiiiatelv signified his intention of marrying the girl and taking care of her, adding rather boastfully, "1 tiiink I can take care of her. and believe she is willing to go with me." When Mrs. Anderson upbraided him for his action her daughter interposed, and said that she had goue of her own accord and as alone to blame.

Alter getting their articles from the police the whole, party started for the recorder's ofliee to get a marriage license. Before they left the building, Mrs. Anderson fell upon her daughter's neck and while the tears flowed copiously from htr eyes, sobbed: "My darling, my only darling oh, why, Charley, did you do tins to her? My God! how cau ever return to Columbus and face this shame and humiliation? How can 1 ever go back to where your whole life was spent and where you were always respected with this disgrace now upon you?" 1 hen she calmed herself and wiped the tears from her eyes, but the daughter remained as col 1 and unailected as clay through the whole touching scene. fcKITIXU THE MARRIAGE LICENSE. The inotiu-r, the runaway daughter and Keyo reached the ortice of the Kecorder of leeds at about 10:30 o'clock this morning.

The application for a license was made out in the regular form by tiie clerk, Charles It- Keyo stating that he was 28 years of age, and that Jessie Anderson, whom he wished to marry, was only lo years old. Mrs. Alice Anderson, Jessie's mother, said she consented to the marnaae, and the girl's father being dead there was 110 one to object. When tha form was made out Recorder Hobos was called to administer the oath. The proceedings had thus far been conducted with so much solemnity that Mrs.

Anderson was ready to melt in tears. Miss Jessie's black eyes were a little mistv, and Keyo shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. But the Kecorder protested against tears. "This is the olumbus party Is It? I wouldn't have come down this morning If I hadn't expected you," he said. "Now what's the use of cry ing?" he questioned Mrs.

Anderson, who bad brouirht her handkerchief out for a last dab at her eyes. "Tnere are lots worse men in the world than this young man. He'll make your daughter a good living and he'll treat her kindly. Did you want any more? A man who's got the spunk to run away with a girl has got the spunk to take care of her. You'll find that's true.

There's something to people that run away to be married." Under such pressure Mrs. Anderson could not do otherwise than take a pleasant view of the situation while Miss Jessie's brilliant eyes showed her appreciation of "tha tunny man as she called the Kecorder in a whispered aidde. Mie did not care much for another experience in the holdover, but said: "If they want to send me there again for loving him, I'll go willingly enough. They said he'd go to the penitentiary if he didn't marry me. Well, if he went I'd go too.

Her mother smiled sadly at the earnest little girl. The Recorder swore them to the facts contained in the application, the girl acknowledged Sirs. Anderson as her mother, tne mother cl. dined Jessie as her child, and gave her consent to the union. Then the license was issued.

As the party left the office, the Recorder caught Mrs. Anderson again falling into her handkerchief. "Now what are you crylug about?" he asked, but she hastily put away the handkerchief, summoned her chi eriulness and went away wiih-out explaining the cause of her tears The party went to the residence of Charles levero. 13S3 Pine street, where the marriage will occur. No preparations had been made for the event, so it as delayed till later In the day to secure a minister and other essentials.

An ordinance had been enscted prohibiting the sale or use of opium, and under this the police made several raids after the extent of the evil was shown by mch instances. Amonir the prisoners was Ah Lung, who was convicted before Police Justice Cady and sentenced to pay a heavy fine.

He retained lawyers and took an appeal to the Court of Criminal Correction on tiie question of the constitutionality of the ordinance. It was claimed that the State had no laws prohibiting the sale or use of opium, and that in the Charter no power had been delegated to the Municipal Assembly to legislate on this subject. It was also held tfcat the ordinance cited above was too general In Its prohibitions and amounted to an interference with personal rights oy Its provisions. Judge Noonan adopted these views and dismissed the case. Notwithstanding the fact that they succeeded In beating the cases the defendants did not resume business so readily.

This beneficial effect was possibly the result of their expediences at the bands of some of the lawyers selected to look after their Interests.

He read the ordinance under whicli the charges are made, and said thnt under such a law lie would unquestionably prosecute the cases in court.

OF She Falls Asleep Surrounded by the Entire Community A Keantiful Woman who Those a Life of Work Her Successes Houses That Have Grown From Her Labors How She Met and Overcame Prejudice Against the Convent Her Early iMtrugsles The Funeral. The Mother rrovincial of the House of the Good Shepherd died at 12 o'clock last niht, surrounded by the entire community of that House. Her death had been expected, and yesterday, as reported in the Post-Dispatch she was given the last sacrament in preparation for her departure.

She had been suffering from a complication of troubles, which grew so aerious that the physicians called In said night before last she could not lire many hours. The Mother was resigned, fearless of death, even exerting herself to comfort her sorrowing children. She had been a mother there iu a sense broader than the customary application of the word in religious institutions. She was possessed of wonderful executive ability, and not only managed the institution of which she was the head In an exceptional manner, but founded in different parts of the country similar institutions. The work of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd is the reclamation of wayward girls and the superior class of the order known as "Choir Sister9," from which Superioresses are drawn is composed of women of exceptional endowments and antecedents.

No woman is admitted in whose family during four generations there has been a scandal. The Mother was admitted to the order in Montreal, where she was born 57 years ago. She took the name of Mary of the Sacred Heart her family name being Provenchere. She was detailed by the Mother House the order at Amiiers. trance, twenty-five years ao, to take charge of the House in this city, in the stead of Mother rrancis, whose health was failing.

The silver jubilee of this event was celebrated at the House, Seventeenth and Pine streets, on September 28 nd 29. Mother Mary was then too ill to participate actively in the ceremonies which tiie various classes of the order prepared in honor of the event, but was carried by tho Meters in her chair un and down tho stairs. She said then it was prohablv the last time she would ever see her children. She was a woman of remarkable beauty when she came to St. Louis In 1662.

She devoted herxelf however to the work before her without regard to the position she might have won in the worid by reason of her beautv. The order had but a short time before her arrival occupied the house at seventeenth and Pine. The property was devised to the Order of the Good Shepherd by Mrs. Ann L. Hunt, under a condition that it be used forever by the order.

Almost the last act of Mrs. Hunt was to sin a deed releasing the title from that condition, A FORTITSaTE KKI.F.ASE, as the situation is too near the heart of the city, and In the last days ol her life the Mother Provincial purchased a new site in the West End, where a new house is to be erected. During her connection with the house as its Superioress, bisters have been trained there and assigned to Houses founded at New Orleans. St. Paul, Chieatio, Detroit, kansas City, Denver, Memphis, Havana (Cuba) and at Normandy (St.

Louis). Seven were sent out from the House to Quito, Pern, where three of theiu now hold important position in the older. At the time of her deat there was an application under consideration to found a House at San Francisco. Mother Mary came to St. Louis at the time when tiie anti-Catholic excitement was occupying the spaces left vacant by the war In public attention.

Several habeas corpus pro-ceedingnibegun by relatives of girls admitted to the institution to recover tliein uttracted attention to the House of the Good Shepherd, and a great deal of prejudice was excited against it. This prejudice uri-w violent when it was alleged that the Superioress spirited gills away when she knew writs were to be served to bring them into court. In regard to these publicly printed allegations the Mother wrote a letter which closed with this paragraph: "The task which the Good Shepherd proposes to itself is suflieiently difl.cult and trying, and has a sufficient sphere wh--n confined iu its operation to those who are willing to remain, without coercing any person. You mav he assured then tnat it is no Female Hastile and on the part of Its managers there will be a profound deterence at aii times to the laws of the land, and thnt courts will never bv deceit or contrtvance be foiled in their rightful prerogative to inquire the case ot auy ot its inmates." TI1IS LETTKR was copied in the St. Louis Intelligencer, hich had fomented a Kreat deal of the feeling against the institution, as an act of Justice.

It had the effect of soitening the prejudice against the House, which was further modified by a case which was fully reported In the papers ol the time. A woman had abandoned her husband to live with a steamboat rapt Un as his mistress. She took ro drink and the Captain had her placed in the House of the Good Shepherd. She was reformed theie and declined to return to her former life. The Captain procured the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and the woman as taken Into court.

When asked by the Judge if she was unduly restrained of liberty she said sho not. She was free to go or stay, and she wished to stay. Thereupon the caae was dismissed. Mio returned to the House. Subsequently on the advice of the attorney of the order the Mother invited all the papers In the city to s-nd reporters through the Houte that they lu.uht see wnut was really contained the iron bars and high walls.

The elaborate descriptions published completely turned the leeiing against the institution to aiiilrattou for itn projectors and mananers. Since that time the charity has been one nf the most liberally supported lu the city.

There were the regulation crowds on tha streets to-day, not the Jams of the previous days. Although there are large numbers of strangers in the city, the Fair and Exposition attracted most of them, relieving tho streets of the pressure that would otherwise have been upon them. The stores began to close toward noon, and many of tbetn had stopped business before 1 o'clock. The banks were closed, tne Merchants' Exchange, ourt-house, except the manage license office, and theCitv Hall were also closed. The Custom-house otrlces were open and the letter-carriers made the.r usual rounds.

Fair Thursday is not recognized at the Federal buiid-iru; as a holiday, the rules of the various department allowing the observance of only tne holidays made such bv statute or Presidential proclamation. An exception is sometimes made In the Post-ollice Department allowing the observance of audi days as sre observed in he localltv, on the consent of the The P.

THE rOLICE PAY A VISIT TO A CHESTNUT STREET OPIUM DIVE. Arresting the Proprietor and His Assistants to Save a Dissipated Boy A Terrible Evil Guarded Against ty Very Insecure Law, and Held in Check by the Police on Doubtful Authority, But With Good Effect The fxtent of the Practice of Opium Smoking Peddlers and Private "Joints." The patrons of GonGley 'a blue front laundry at No. 609 Chestnut street, will be seriously inconvenienced this week. The ordinary operatives of the institution have been seriously interfered with by tho Police Department.

To-day, Instead of devoting their attention to the wash-tub and the ironing-board the proprietor of the institution and his two assistants are hustling around the Chinese quarters In the vicinity of Eighth and Market streets, seeking advice on Melican laws. In conjunction with bis laundry business, Gnn has for some time run an opium den, on account of which has come the troubles In which he finds himself. His apartments are located in the basement of the building at the above number, and to all appearances he was engaged solely in the very honest occupation of washing soiled linen. It was only yesterday that the police learned that he was prosecuting a for-biddes business. A gentleman, whose name the police refuse to make public at his own request, called on Chief Huebler and requested his assistance in preventing the visits of bis nephew to an opium den at 8u9 Chestnut street.

On receiving the information that a "joint" was in operation Chief Huebler Instructed Capt. Hercules to Investigate the report and to take act. on If It was found to be true. Sergt. Con O'Donnell and Officers Gannon and Sappington accompanied the man to the place and stationed themselves conveniently IN THE FRONT AND BEAR of the innocent-looking laundry.

They then Instructed the man to go in and ask for a pipe and some good opium, and after making the purchase to give a signal to the sergeant. He followed Instructions aud encountered one of the assistants In the tront room. He was lnvted into a room in the rear part of the basement and shown to a couch covered with a mat. As soon as he expressed his wishes the attendant hurried off to a side room to obtain the drug On his return the stipulated quarter was paid and the signal given to the sergeant, who hurried in with his oflicers. While they took charge of the Mongolians, he hurriedly gathered up the pipes and lamps to be used in evidence.

ithln a few minutes the laundry was deserted, and its usual occupants were whirling away to the Four Courts in a hoodlum waaon, chattering excitedly over the unexpected visit of the police, aud making arrangements for their defense without the slightest regard for their captors, who could not understand a word ot their programme. When the trio was led up to the railing of the Central Station they were as uncommunicative as clams. When questioned they uttered some sounds that were unintelligible to Sert. Sain Murray, who after numerous unsuccessful attempts, finally entered them on the blotter as Billee Lee, Charles Alum and Lane Louis as the nam approaching nearest In sound to the responses made by the pig-tailed prisoners. The officers were Instructed to mark their men, so as to be perfectly able TO IDENTIFY TUB DEFENDANTS on their arraignment in court.

Charges of violating City Ordinance No. Dt were then entered against the trio. The law on which the charge Is based Is as follows: "Any person who shall maintain aud keep In the city of St. Louis any place or room where opium, or hasheesh, or any extract of said drugs, or any compound in which said drugs are ingredients, is smoked by himself or otlars, or who shall attend at any room or place for the purpose of assisting or aiding any person to smoke opium or hasheesh, or anv extract of said drugs or any compound in which said drugs are Ingredients, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor ami upon conviction shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than SoOo. Two pipes, two lamps, two small pots of opium, one filled with the gum form of the drowsy drun, and the other with pulverized op um.

were then tagged and forwarded to the Police Court tor evidence in the prosecution of the cases. The Mongolians were soon balled out, as the news of the raid on Gon's place spread rapidly through the Chinese establishments on Market and hestnut streets and 111 the alley of the block bounded by Seventh and Eighth, Market and VI alnut streets. Before dusk several friends of the incarcerated Chinamen were hurrying about to secure the release of the prisoners. When a Chinaman becomes Involved In any trouble, an army of "cousins' came to his rescue. Tills degree seems to be the only relationship that exists between tha hundreds of Mongolians doing bnslness in various parts of the city.

To-day the cases were docketed In the First District Police Court, but owing to the absence of JudeCady, who Is sick and confined at his home, no court was held, though it was intended to hold a short session to dispose of some of the arrest cases. The raid on Gon t.ley's 'jolnf Is the first that has buen made in a long time, a the 'lice have been very uncertain about tne authority vested in them to prosecute such cases Willi ut the most conclusive evidence of guilt. About a year ago the evil became so extensive that nearly every laundry in the city had a "joint" attachment, and several large establishments down-town were converted Into places nsed exclusively for "hitting the pips." These were largely patronized by women ot the town, bo on their lilps Irequently brought men with tnem to the dens. Two entrprling Chinamen uruisned themselves with a supply of pipes and lamps and MADE HEOCLAR 1 imonj the disreputable bouses. In one or two of which the proprietresses gave a room in which the Inmates congregated "to hit the pipe" In turns when they were prohibited from leaving- the premises to Indulge thsir depraved tastes.
