! DIRErCL THREAT IN RED 1NK.-A
young man yesterday, with face half smiling
and half serious, appeared at police head
quarters and showed q note which had been
ilaced under his door during Friday night,
and reads as follows: 1--WE want you to
:eave this city within twentv-four hours, or
your life will be taken. You are nothing
but a traitor. White Leaguers." This note
was written on slip of legal cap. in red
ink, the writing being quite coarse, appacc
rently in disguised hand. The intended
victims first name only was used. Whether
it is meant in earnest or not the young man
will not leave, and he is perfectly willing, if
not anxious to meet the sender face to face.
If it really came from q White Leaguer,
the writer is evidently too cowardiy to
come out like a man and meet the obnoxious
individual on equal terms. The marked
person will not leave, and should the threat
pc executed someb0dy will surely suffer:

BRIEF MENTIoN.-The fire early yester-
day morning was in twO-story frame
house at the corner of Where and Custom
house streets, owned by LATTE e. Du-
tiihO untenanted, but was only partly de-
etroyed. The adjoining house, occupied by
James Henry, owned by Sampson Brothers,
was badly damaged. There were apparent
Signs that the fire was the work Of an in
cendiary.
Some unknown heather tried to fire an
Unoecupied house at the corner OfJeannette
and Jefferson streets. Carrollton, Friday
night. Coal oil had been poured on the
wood work, which made such light that
the fire was discovered in time to save the
building.
Four quarters Of . slaughtered beef were
found on Leyee street early yesterday
morning and sent to the statiOnhOuse by
policemen.
Coroner Folwell made IN affidavit against
Samuel kibOuz, the man who, 1t was said;
accidentally shot and killed Henry Diebel
IN Carrollton last week. The jury returned
verdict of manslaughter.
Joseph King ie in for perjury, on com.
plant of Assistant Supervisor n. b. Hutton.
Joseph attempted to obtain a registration
paper by an irregular process.
The Indifferent vagrant who was before
the Police Board last Friday, and who
expressed a belief that term in the Work

man, and naturally lazy one at that.

Lncob y. MerreII. ESQ.

One of the foremost business men in
the city of st. Louis is the above
named gentleman, the head of one of
the most extensive wholesale drug
houses of the west. There is perhaps
no state in the union in which the
drugs of the establishment of jacob S.
Merrell are not sold, and its trade with
the state of Texas already reaches hum
dreds of thousands of dollars. So vast
and important, indeed, has become his
business with this state, that branch
house, we learn, will be opened in this
city, 50 as to meet their continual
growing Texas business.
The capital, business brain and char
acter which will be introduced into the
commercial circles of the city by the
establishment of such a business, UNI
der such direction rs that of Jacob S.
Merrell, will be of incalculable weight.
