EAST ST. LOUIS.
Under "a Surface a. Smooth as Glass
there is n Current of Trouble
Likely TO Show Itself at
ANY Time.

ST. LOUIS, August 12.-The injunction
granted by Judge Walls against Mayor Bow
man and the general law council of East st.
Louis was not served on them until last
evening, and no action was taken by them.
As yet everything Is quiet there, and nothing
will probably be done by tine Bowmanites till
they receive an opinion by their lawyers
touching the force and effect of the injunc-
ton, which may be given to morrow. Both
councils will hold meetings tomorrow, when
something tangible will, no doubt, be done.
Everything in East st. Louis is outwardy
quiet, but there is evidently an undercurrent
of apprehension that more trouble is near at
hand. Mayor Bowman's lawyers, three in
number, have given their opinion that the
injunction granted against him and the gen
eral law council is not legal, on the ground
that remedies for all the alleged wrongs are
amply supplied by the common law statutes,
and that the courts of equity and chancery
have no jurisdiction in the case. The
charter council met to-day and instructed
City Marshal Carpenter to procure the
records of the city from the person in whose
possession they now are. Shortly afterward
the marshal reported that he had made the
demand, but the holders Of the records re-
fused to surrender them until served with q
writ by the sheriff of the county. An affida-
Wit to this effect was then made, and the mar
shall instructed to lay it before Judge Watts,
with view to bringing proceedings Tor con-
tempt of court by the general law officers
It is probable that the injunction will be so
far respected that the general law or Bow
man council will not meet again for the pres
ent at least, but the Bowmanites assert
that they will not surrender the city records
and property in their possession, except
through strictly legal means or being over
powered by force. The anti Bowmanites al
lege that none but legal means will be used

STANLEY MATHEWS,
who is Glib of TOHgne to Newspaper
Reporters, is Afraid TO Meet the
Potter COmmittee-Hc breads
to be CrOsS-EXamIned by
Kearney's Friend,

New YORK, August 12.-The Potter IN
vestigating committee resumed its session
this morning, but IN the absence Of several
members no witnesses were examined.
General Butler asked that Stanley Mathews
be summoned.
Mr.. Potter said the senator had been sum-
moned Saturday, and he replied that an i'm
portant engagement at Newport would pre-
vent him attending, and whatever he intend
ed to do he declared of no consequence to the
committee. From this reply Mr.. Potter said
he inferred that Senator Mathews did not
mean to respond to the summons
General Butler remarked that if Senator
Mathews's answer meant that he would not
attend or obey the summons Of the house OF
representatives, the sooner the issue was
made the better for the house and senate, so
that the powers of both can be determined.
If the house has not the power to compel
the attendance Of witnesses, then the investI-
cation Is useless. As to the subject of sus-
picion, he did not known what credit to give
to certain newspaper articles he had seen, but
if they were true Senator Mathews had been
testifying TO the newspaper reporters. He
tells to them as much as he pleases, and we
want him here to tell as much as the COM
mittee pleases. He therefore moved that it
has refused to appear before this committee,
and that the same be reported to the house
for tneir action in the matter
Chairman Potter said he would entertain
Mr.. Buffers notion but thought it better to
await the presence Of Messrs. Hlscock aud
Stenger before voting on it. He therefore
adjourned the committee till eleven o'clock
tomorrow. The committee then went into
executive session.

MISSOURI
Loses Half n Million Dollars by the
DefaIcatiOu of Officials and the
Failure Of u Bank.

ST. LOUIS, August 12.-The EUeni,tg Post
publishes statement purporting to be entire
ly reliable, but the authority is not given,
which says that the July interest was not
paid by the State, but that two hundred and
twenty thousand dollars in coupons are held
by bank in New York until it shall dispose
of the coupon Kansas City watcrworks bonds
to reimburse Itself. These bonds are said to
be a part of the security whlch the State
treasurer holds for his deposit IN the recently
suspended Western bank OF Kansas City.
The statement further says that in addition
to this deficit in the interest money the State
treasurer has, during his whole term Of Office,
carried among his assets a worthless check
on the MastIn bank for two hundred and
ninety-six thousand dollars, which was ac-
cepted by the legislative examining commit
tee as cash, making n deficit In the State
treasury Of over half a million dollars, in ad-
dition TO the amount lost by the failure of the
National bank Of the State OF Missouri aud
the sum admitted by the State treasurer 20 he
deposited in the Mastin bank. These amounts
are alleged to have been stolen by the ring
which controlled the State treasury, and that
the only resource the State has is the treas
urer's bond, which is practically worthless,
and about four hundred thousand dollars in
bonds OF the Kansas City wate:works-a pri-
vate corporation.

AUSTIN, August 9.-To-day at haIf-past
SIX o'clock in the afternoon, a fatal difficulty
occurred 10 Austin, IN which A. NJ. Evans
(of A. NJ. Evans a Bro.) and w. w. Fret
we'll were both instantly killed. 1t appears
that on the third Fretwell was in a. NJ. Ev
ans's saloon and had a difficulty with a ne
gro, and asked A. NJ. Evans if he would 90
on his bond If he would whip the negro
Evans said yes, and Fretweil beat the ne
gro with billiard cue. J. Il. Evans, town
marshal and brother of A. NJ. Evans, arrest
ed Fretwell and started to put him in the
calaboose, and Fretwell showed fight. and
A. NJ. Evans went to the assistance OF ]. r
EYans and put Fretwell in prison. Fretweii
gaze bonds and came out, and on the same
night met =. e. Evans, brother OF J. X. and
A. NJ. Evans, who was unarmed, and abused
him considerably. J. c. Evans was on his
way to Memphis to see his wife, who was ex
pected to die, and only remarked that he
would arrange the matter when he returned
Nothing more was done until to-day, when,
as Fretwell passed up Commerce street, IL
front of 4. NJ. Evans's saloon, \. NJ. Evans
was sitting on his porch. When he saw
Fretwell coming he got up and stepped OFF
his porch, and met Eretwell, and SAID ::
'D-n you, you have been talking about tha
Evans family long enough" Both drew pis
tolls; Evans used a Smith IL Wesson improve /
pistol, and Fretwell a Trantor. Evans shct
once. and Fretwell four or hve times. Evans
fell dead. Fretwell ran about thirty STEPS
and fell, turned over, and came running back
to where A. NJ. Evans was lying, when J. f.
Evans came up on horseback, jumped off dis
horse, and shot Fretwell twice. At the sec
oDd shot Fretwell fell dead A. N. Evals
was shot three times, and Fretwell twice
through the healt-as shown from the post
morton examination by the coroner. All tna
shots were fatal 1t Is thought Fret-ell Wa,
shot once by A. NJ. Evans and once 10y J. Il
Exams. Either one would have killed him,
The coroner is holding an inquest at tins
time.

HOLLY SPRINGS MISS, August 12.-Not-
withstaDding the incessant rain during the
forenoon, together with the wild reports be-
ing hourly flashed over the wires of the yell
low-fever raging in Grenada, causing great
alarm among this people for the moment,
there was large and intelligent attendance
at the railroad meeting here this afternoon.
But for these causes the country people
would have come IN large numbers. As it
was, every business firm in this place
was represented, and a sturdy business
like spirit pervaded the action of
the meeting. The discussion was
dignifed and to the point, resulting
in the appointment of committee to confer
with the bondholders of the Memphis and
Selma railroad, together with the citizens of
Memphis, with view to take steps to COM
pete the building of the Holly Springs and
Memphis road, also, a committee TO open
correspondence with the officials of the Chi
cago, ST. Louis and New Orleans, and of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad companies,
inviting a conference for the purpose of estab
fishing reasonable rates of freight from this
point to memphis; also, 10 ascertain the
practicability of organizing aud running
wagon-t trains from this to near point on the
Memphis and Charleston road, with through
bills of ladIng between this and the Mem
phis and New Orleans markets; also, with
authority, in the event their efforts should
prove unsuccessful in these matters, to call a
convention of the merchants and citizens of
north Mississippi and West Tennessee at
Grand Junction or this place, TO consider
cheap freights and railroad reforms. Reso-
buttons of thanks to your chamber OF COM
merce were passed, for its action in sending
such an intelligent and worthy delegation to
meet and cooperate with the merchants and
citizens here. Colonel w. w. Guy and Mr..
G. G. Fisher both participated in the discus
sion of direct railroad communication with
Memphis, and elected enthusiasm and praise
for their frank and sympathetic sentiments.
