EAST ST. LOUIS, July 2s.-.At midnight last
night, MIR. Ray, secretary to Gov. Cullom ar
rived and had a consultation with Mayor Bow
man and the Metropolitan police commissions
ers. The Governor told the sheriff he must
instruct his deputies to regard them the
rightful authorities. The action of Bowman's
force when this was announced was very signif-
cant. The deputy marshals were at work all
evening barricading the market h 'nse and ar
ranging all manner of defenses. 1t looks as if
they meant to make a bitter fight. Everybody
anticipates trouble. The market house, as it is
called is really the city hall. Most Of the city
offices located in it. The first step was taken
last night by the anti-Bownan government to
sec ure the advantage given by the Governors
action. Maurice +. Tissler city clerk by APP
pointment of the anti-Bowman council, served
notice on the mayor demanding the books
and records of the city. The mayor replied
quoting the law giving him authority to sus-
pend city officers, and forthwith suspended
Tissler. No other militia have arrived. The
Governors recognition has emboldened the
Metropolitans, and Bowmans force is desperate
and anxious to fight. Any move toward the
market house, on even chance shot will be
the signal for the commencement of fight
which will last till the leaders of one side or
the other are laid out

ST. LOUIS July ga remarkable case was
tried in the st. Louis police court yesterday.
DR.. Samuel A. Brackett, dentist, appeared in
answer to charge of exposing his person.
The first witness who took the stand was Mr..
Yeager, who lives exactly opposite the residence
of defendant. He stated that DR.. Bracket
was in the daily habit Of exposing his person,
and that his acts had been of common an
occurrence that not only were his family
shocked by the doctors daily exposure of his
person. but friends in days gone by now gave
his house wide berth, and gave as their rea-
ons for doing so that they had been disguised
and shocked at the doings of the person whom
they had seen. Mrs. Yeager the next
witness, and stated that she had been annoyed
by DR.. Brackets lewd performance for the last
two years, and that he had frequently appeared
in his rooms, which were directly opposite or
across the street from her apartments, III Il
almost naked condition. The cross-examina-
ton brought out the fact that the dentist, dur
ing the summer season, when not engaged in
professional duties, was in the habit of going
about his apartments In very airy costume
in short he wore nothing but pair OF draw
ers, and he neglected to pull down the blinds.
Nothing was adduced to show he had any other
object beyond that of keeping cool pos
sible. James J. Mcbride, who appeared for
the dentist, claimed no deliberate exposure was
meant and that at the time DR.. Bracket was
charged with the act the people in parts of St.

terribly hot weather. Mr. Mcbride spoke of
his visits to Rockaway in years gone by when
he went in bathing among the fair sex with no
other clothing than his flannel drawers, and
even the fastidious eyes of lady visitors at that
favorite resort did not call that an exposure of
person. Judge Jacks decided the case in
Brackets favor, Diminishing the comp plant.
