A Sad, Strange Fancy.
New York Letter St. Louis Republican

New York Letter ST. Louis Republican,
There dwells in this city lady who
in all respects seems sane and sensi-
BILE woman. She lost five years ago an
only daughter of great promise, seven
teen years old, and the idol of the
mother. Since her child's death she
has had the room she used to occupy
cleaned daily, and the untouched bed
pulled to pieces and made over. She
sits before vacant chair at the table
and carefully fills the unused plate, and
spring and fall buys the newest and
prettiest things for "Addie,'' giving
away the last years garments, "Ad-
die having done with them. There is
no appearance Of mental gloom or dis
order about her, yet she carries this
v:gary into every at Of her life. Rid
ing out, no one ever sits beside her. as
that seat is filed by the imaginary
air -dra WI daughter. When seats arc
taken at theatre, her husband always
gets three. You see the vacant chair

she clasps an unseen hand and talks,

a sad one. since her tender minis,ra.

Senator Jonessf Nevada is engaged te

time he had been annoyed by the re.
ceipt of anonymous letters rejecting On
her good name. After having destroyed
a number of them he decided to inform
his prospective father in.law, not for

Ite MIXING Damages.

The most remarkable feature grow.
ing out OF the Beecher scandal which
has yet come to light is the motion
made by Beecher's counsel that Tilton
shall be compelled to furnish a bill of
particulars of the damages which he
charges in his complaint. 1t would
seem as if the original cause had been
presented in sufficient detail for Mr.
Beecher to understand every particular
Of it, and what every particular was
worth. If he does not understand it.,
who CAM He ought to be familiar
enough with the subject to reduce every
item of damage which he has occasioned
down to fraction Of a cent. There
has been no one SO familiar in Mr.. Til
toms family as he, and no one is so we'll

it IS charged that Mr.. Tilton's home
was broken up. He is an expert, and

THE SAFE BURGLARY TRIAL.
Evidence of Alexander, the Man
Against Whom the Conspiracy
Was C0nCOCted.

Was C0ncOcted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--The trial OF
the alleged safe burglars, Harrington,
Williams and Whitley, was resumed
to-day.
Columbus Alexander took the stand
and was croSS-cXamined by MIR.
Davidgc. The witness said his rela-
lions with Harrington during the inves.
tigation were quite friendly. lie had
no occasion to be otherwise. The
witness was strongly impressed with a
belief that the books produced by j. o.
Evans were not the original books kept
by Evans and he still thought So There
were some books the committee never
obtained and especially those relating
to the real estate pool in which Evans
and several others were engaged.
The interview with Butler and wit
ness at the house of witness might have
occupied about five minutes. Butler is
the same man who has been on the wit
ness stand here under the name of
Hayes. Butler represented to witness
that the original books Of Evans had
not been before the committee, and
that he had a friend who could produce
them. Witness declined to pay for
any testimony, but did agree to pay for
any expense in bringing the books to
the city as he thought that would be
no more than right He did not ask
Butler for his name or his address.
Witness thought Butler was connected
with the Butler family Of his
acquaintance in this city.
and did not ask him
where he lived. Witness supposed the
books were to be delivered at his house.
Witness was sure his third interview
with Butler took, place between the
10th and SD of April. Butler brought
man with him and asled witness to
take good lool, at him, as he was the
man who would bring the books.
After the two men had gone, witness
came to the conclusion that some lob
was being put up on him and he told
the parties at his house that some ras-
cality was going on. Witness thought
they were going to trunps up
story that he. Alexan-
der. had offered a BIG
sum for evidence againS. the beard Of
public works. He did not notify Evans
to look out fol- his books tor he had no
interest in Evans.
Metzger and jim Crosssn called at
the house efwitness amp told him there

learned from Siweth bs letter.

house on the night of the burglary and
mas made carful inquiry CT all in the
house and no one heard the bell. lie.

did not get awakened. as it might have

Witness told Ma. Richards about

Mr.. Beechcr has done MANY cool
things, but this last request which he
has made through his counsel. that Til
ton shall itemise all the injuries which
he has inflicted upon him. and place a
cash value in dollars and cents upon
them sevcrally, is the coolest Of all. In
legal point Of view, this proceeding
shows that he has pettifoggers for
counsel. but the demand itself is not so
extraordinary as the impudencc and
efrontery which inspired it. If the
court should grant the request he has
made, Mr.. Tilton need present but one
item. and that will fill the whole bill.
Let him present his empty home to the
jury, and then if he shows who emptied
it he will have NO need to add any more
items; and then, as Mr.. Beeeher has
suit pending against Tilton, into which
he has been forced by public opinion
and the religious press. Mr.. Tilton
should demand that he itemize his dam
