The Case of william d. Ryder.

The St. Louis Republican of yesterday
has the following concerning Billy Ry-
der who was detective in this city I'M
der Chief O'Donnela regime Among
the city appeal cases tried in the Crimi-
nal Court yesterday was that of William
D. Ryder, charged with being an associ-
ate of thieves and gamblers. The charge
was brought nearly two years ago, and
there had been nine or ten continuances
since. City Attorney Mortsll expressed
his desire to have the case disposed Of
before the close of his official term. Mr..
R. S. Macdonald defended. A jury was
selected at about six o'clock, and the
evidence for the city was heard. Ser
geant Harrigan and several detectiv es
testified to having seen the defendant in
company with gamblers and persons Of
bad repute. A number of prominent
citizens we're examined for the defence,
including Captain D. G, Taylor, Hon.
Charles P. johnson, Captain G. W..
Ford, R. NJ. Scruggs, ]. j. Mcbride,
George C. Miller and VIM. Rosenblatte.
Their evidence tended to show that the
defendant was a fast young man, but
that his honesty had never been Ques-
toned. Mr.. johnson had employed him
as detective. The trial lasted until
midnight, and the court adjourned with
out a verdict being given"

s s:;::, i:S% y NJ. 4. v


Proserution Abandoned by the
s -, Diseharss o. M. H. A.
In yesterdays LEpoER was noticed
the fact that Johnny Keel, the slayer OF
Mr.. John Newell, 10 Chelsea, on the 9TH
inst. was discharged from custody by
Judge Ray Of the Probate Court, on the
grounds OF selfdefense, aud that the
Attorney General requested that Mr..
X. II. Coleman should be held 70 Gus
tOdy until to-day, as he Tho Attorney
GENERALLY had received information
which, Il true, would implicate him in
the homicide AT two clock this after
noon, Mr.. Coleman, Colonel CAN'T, his
attorney, and the Attorney General APP
peared in Court. II was developed at once
that the information received by the At
torney General turned out to be incor
rect. The counsel repaired 10 the Probate
Court room, where Judge Ray was hold
ing court, and Colonel Turner, on behalf
Of the State, said: May il please the
court, the State at this time declines to
introduce any other testimony, aud the
Attorney General will not iuterpose any
objection to the action OF the court in
the premises; the court has the case"
Colonel CAN'T, counsel for the defen-
dant, said; 81 then move for the dis
charge Of the prisoner"
Judge Ray; " Let him be discharged. :"
And so the case closed, the State hav-
ing broken down, or indeed never hav-
ing made out case against the. prison
srs. Mr.. Coleman and friends left the
courtroom, and the interesting investi-
CATION closed. The result Of the cxami-
nation fully bore out the statement
made in the LEDGER Of the 9th instant,
and in correction of the statement in the
morning journals that Mr.. Newell had
been shot with pistol by Mr.. Coleman,
when in fact he was shot by the boy,
Johnny Keel, with a double barreled
shotgun.

ALDERMANIC TROUBLES.
The Hoard Prohibited from Gust
ing Alderman Davis by the Circuit
Enmrf

COaEt-
Yesterday petition was filed 10 the
Second Circuit Court by CAN'T 4 Nc
Dowell, attorneys for Andrew Davis,
Alderman from the Third ward, setting
forth that he was elected Alderman as
aforesaid by one hundred and six votes
over Jacob Steinkuhl, his highest COM
petitor; that petitioner was duly quail
fed and took his seat as Alderman, but
that the said Steinkuhl, combining with
certain persons who desired the removal
of said petitioner from said office, has
again instituted proceedings to contest
the election and qualification of petit
toner to said Office, and the petitioner s
opponents are so blinded by partisan
feelings that they will not give him a
fair trial. Petitioner prsys for writ of
certiorari and supsrcedeas to remove
said proceedings into the Second Circuit
Court fSAelby county, in order that petit
toner may have fair and impartia, hear
ing and trial, and that in the meantime
all further proceedings in said cause be
stayed and superseded, etc. Judge
Halsey made the following order in the
case:
Clerk Of the Second Circuit Court:
Issue writs of certiorari and superse-
IDEAS as within prayed for upon bond
and security being given in the sum of
FIVE hundred dollars.
Clerk Boyle took the bond and issued
the writs, which were served on the
Board of Aldermen by Sheriff Doyle at
the meeting last evening.

becoming an ornament in society, as he
might otherwise have been.
Our attention has been called to a
couple of errors which were overlooked in
reading the proof of the article in last
weeks HERALD, headed Sunday School
Teachers Institute" The first is, ''If a
man provide not for woman" etc. 1t
should have read, "Ifa man provide not fo-
his own," etc. The second reads, ''The i'm
portance of home Sunday-school litera-
ture." 1t should read, 1.-The importance of
pure Sabbath-school literature
The city papers seem to think the f.
nancial crisis has passed, and that the great
scare may have purifying effect in the
wild commercial and railroad bond specu-
Iations. It is time that little more eau
ton should be observed. Business trans
actions have been in whirl, and little
blowing up like the late tornado may have
s purifying effect. At least, it is to be
hoped it will result in nothing worse, f.
nancially.

- Mr.. A. E. Silcott, of the firm of Sill
colt, Millikan & Co., must certainly have
tried to "bull'' the dry goods market while
in the East, as they have now in their es-
tablishment the largest stock we have
ever seen in this place He says he bought
exclusively for cash, and can, of course,
sell lower than any house in this county.
They keep everything new in the dry
goods line, and intend selling them.
