St. Louis, Mo., Deo. 21.—"Can the men
who Tote for this bill cxpect to be looked
on as honest men when they go upon the
streets to-morrow?"
This question was naked in the city coun-
cil last night by City Councilman Ganahl,
who was doing bis best to prevent the pas-
sage of a measure which has been de-
bounced as a deal. The bill is one which
-e pa),ere of the city are unanimous in de-
nouncing as "unsurpassed for cool audac-
ity." It authorizes private parties to build
a gas plant for which the city shall pay a
rental of (925,000 or 5 per cent on
$4,500,000 for thirty years, and at
the end of that time shall |buy
the worn out plant for $4,500,000 or return
it to the owners with a fifty-year franchise
and a present of $2,'350,000 to be taken from
a sinking fund created for that purpose.
During the tlmo the city is paying a rental
of $325,000 a year for the work, it must bear
the expense of all repairs and improve-
ments. The bill has been repeatedly con-
demned by City Counselor Bell, President
Fiad of the board of public improvements
and several members of the council in u'ain
terms as a cold-blooded piece of robbery,
and its passage by a vote of 7 to C has cre-
ated a great sensation. It is claimed that
the measure can not legally stand, even
though it receives the signature of the
mayor, which seems doubtful. All the St.
Louis papers denounce the scheme in plain
terms editorially.

Sax Antonio, Tex., June 21.—Judge
Maxay reconvened thu federal court this
morning for the purpose of rendering de-
cisions in cases tried before him during the
presuut term, and which ho has had under
advisement. In the case of Crouch airainst
Kerr the complainant sued for an injunc-
tion, and to establish title to the tracts of
one-third of a league of land each. The
evidence showed that in 1833 J. C. Neil took
out papers of administration upon the
estate of Nathaniel and Thomas Kerr.
Then he afterward procured certificates
for the laud in controversy. The adminis-
tration remained pending in the probate
court until 1843, when an order of sale
was granted by the probate court and
the land sold. Judge Maxey decided that
this order of sale was entored in violation
of the statute of 1841, which rendered the
consent of the heirs of deceased soldiers
necessary to confirm a sale of their lands,
and that this consent not having been pro-
cured by the administrator the deed con-
veyed no title. The injunction was dis-
solved and the costs taxed up to the com-
plainant. The land involved is now quite
valuable, and thu complainant exeeiHed to
Judge Maxey's ruling, aud has until March
1 to file a bill of exceptions. Several other
cases were decided, among which was that
of Albert Meyer and others against General
Julian F. Herrara, a suit for alleged viola-
tion of contract. The defendant had inter-
posed a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the
court, claiming that a citizen of the repub-
lic of Mexico could not be held to answer the
suit in this court. Judge Maxey sustained
the demurrer aud disuicsed the case at the
plaintiffs' cost, lie also rendered a decree
In the cases of A. U. R. Cahan against Ju-
lius N. Peacock, aud R. Martin against the
same defendant. This suit involved the
title to 1020 acres of valuable land near here
for which acertificate was granted to David
Murphree, administrator of the estate of
Captain John W. Peacock, who lead a com-
pany of Tennessee anil Mississippi volun-
teers in the Texas revolution aud was
wounded in the storming of Bexar ou the
3d of December, 1888, and died from his
wounds in February, 18.'iS. The decree in
this case was governed by the statute of
1841, above alluded to in the Crouch case,
but Judge Maxey in these cases held that
Captain Peacock's heirs had consented to
and confirmed the sale of the land by the
administrator, and he rendered bis decision
divesting the title of defendant and vesting
It in plaintiff and perpetuating the injunc-
tion as prayed for.
lake VIEW AUDITION.
Honry Klmendorf of this city to-day con-
summated the sale of his Lake View addi-
tion to San A utonio to a syndicate of New
England capitalists for the sum of &53.000.
The land sold includes 587 acres. It is Im-
mediately south of the west end on the
highest western elevation near the city and
iuclndes an artificial lake nenriv a half mile
In length. The syndicate held a meeting in
Boston last Thursday, tho lt)th, and per-
fected organization. (Six trustees were
elected, among them boing Mr. Elmendorf,
aud $30,000 was appropriated for immediate
improvements. Frederick K. Page of Bos-
ton was appointed engineer and leaves at
once for San Antonio, taking with him a
large number of approved architectural
plans for buildings to be immediately con-
structed. An electric street rail way through
the city will also be built.
quite a sensation.
A sensational occurrence happened on the
edge of town last night. Susan Boyce, an
old negro.hves in the neighborhood and has
a daughter about 17 years old. Last even-
ing about 7 o'clock the girl started across
an open lot near some brush going to a
neighbor's house. When considerably dis
tant from her mother she was met by a rail-
roader, who addressed her improperly. The
girl attempted to flee, but the villain out
took her, where there was lively scuffle, in
which the girl was almost divested of her
entire clothing. By this time her cries
brought others to the rescue, when the man
fled and concealed himself in the brush. The
girl's cries brought her mother to tae rescue.
Sho.upon learning what had happened,made
for the man. He fled, but she overtook him.
and after a loug bard struggle succeeded in
overpowering him, and then proceeded to
punch him so mercilessly that he yelled for
help and was released from the irate ne
gress' hands by some passing uegrocs. He
is a white man aud a rail load employe, but
his name has not yet been learned. He will
be ;vrrt . U'd upon a charge of criminal as-
sault if he can be identified.

Dallas, Tex., Dec. 21.—This • >rnoon
about 2.45 o'clock a distressing tent oc-
curred on the Rapid Transit railroai at
Chestnut Hill station in South I il! is. Just
as the train was pulling up at the station a
boy named Wm, Kennedy ran out of a store
and atteinptud to jump on the pilot of tho
engine, but slipplnK lost his hold and fell,
the wheels of the engine passing over him^
He was fearfully mangled, and although
living at 5 p. m. there was no possible hope
for him, tho physician attending him said,
lu tho center of tho top of the
head the skull was mashed in, and the phy-
sicians took out pieces of broken bone,
leaving a hole nearly round, three inches
by two, with the brain exposed. Tho right
hand was crushed into a quivering mass of
bones, flesh and muscles, utterly shapeless.
The skin and ilesh of the right thigh, be-
ginning in the upper third, was torn ott
the outer side down to three or four incheu
below the knee and lay banging in a flap,
exposing the muscles, tendon and the kneo
cap. It was done as smoothly and as clean
as if he had been on a dissecting table
and under an operator's knife. There
were internal injuries also. If there
had been any hopes for the
boy's life, the physicians >ay that the
leg would have to come off near the hip
joint and the hauds to be take.1 off above
the wrist. The unfortunate victim was
taken to tho city hospital, where physicians
dressed and bandaged his wounds—all they
they cculd'do—and left him to the careful
attention of tho hospital authorities. When
a Nkwb reporter saw him he was in the
hands of tne physicians. He was utterly
unconscious; his stertorous breathing was
heard all over the room, and he was a piti-
ful sight to look upon. Blood and froth
oozed from bis mouth at each convulsive
heave of the chest, and the eyes half closed *
were rolled back and set in his head. He was
but a bare-footed, illy clad boy of hardly
more than 12 years of age, yet he
had a fair face to look upon, a.shapely fore-
head and a shanal y head, giving evidence
of a bright intelligence, but his bloodless,
wan face showed the seal of death, aud as
his breath came in sobs each one seemed
as though it would be his last. It was
learned that his father lived on Praston
street so me whe refund that his mother was
dead, but at last account no relative or
friend bad come to him, they not having
heard of the terrible mishap that had be-
fallen him. Major G. W. Stubbs. Mr. Mc-
Lans and some ladies witnessed the fright-
ful sccne. Tho boy was dragged some
twenty feet, although the engineer reversed
his engine and did what be could to stop
tho train. Little Kennedy died at 7 p. m.

Bad Illood Between Rival Factions—Trouble
Feared In the Future.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 21,—a dispatch
from Oklahoma City, I. T., says: The
cause of the apprehended riot, which was
feared last night,was the renewal of the old
trouble between the Seminole and Kickapoo
factious. Two counciimen were recently
removed from tho Second ward and an elec-
tion was set for December U0 to fill the va-
cancies. That served to stir up the old
feeling between the Seminoles aud Kick-
apoo.i, and the 1 tter have bean indulging
in threats to lynch some of the Seminols
leaders and burn tL'e building occupied by
tho Gazette, tho organ of the Seminole
party. The mayor belongs to the Kickapoo
faction, and the Seminoles, who arc in the
majority in the council,will not let him ap-
point policemen. The Seminoles want to
hold the election and the Kickapoos oppose
it because it will increase the Seminole ma-
jority in the council. United States Mar-
shal Walker apprehends trouble, but not
before the election. A dispatch was sent to
Topekft last night, asking Governor Hum-
phrey to request GeueraT Merrltt to hold
troops in readiness to come here.
PITTSBURG.
a11 Klection Declared a Nullity—A Murdor
Trial Kuded.
PlTTsBUKO, Tex., Dec. 21.—In a habeas
corpus trial to-day in the "c ase of a negro
held for illegal voting at tho local option
election Judge Sheppard decided that the
election was a nullity, because of the order
of the commissioners' court calling for the
election was made before tho expiration of
the two years before the last election may
be ordered.
It lacked a fow days of being two years
when the order was; made. Local option is
lu force under the former election. District
court adjourned this evening after a session
of three weeks. A number of important
civil cases were uot reached on account of
nearly four days being taken up this week
with the trial of Wylie Hountree, charged
with tho murder of George Turner in
Krauklin county a number of yours ago.
The case was brought here on change of
venue. The jury rendered a verdict of not
guilty. ^
THE DALLAS FAR
The Committee MeoU and Adopts Dates for
the Next Kxpositioti.
Dallas, Tex., Dec.21.—At a meeting of
the executive committee yesterday the dates
adopted for the next annual fair aud expo-
sition were October 18 to November 3 in-
clusive, making sixteen days. In adopting
these dates the committee did so with a
view of not conilictiug with the holding of
the more important fairs and expositions
of the country. Heretofore the dates of ths
fair have been set regardless of the time
that other fairs took place, but experience
has taught the management that by giving
the matter due attention many leading at-
tractions could have been secured, a* well
as many exhibits not heretofore obtainable.
