ST.. Louis, Oct. 10, 1883

ST. Louis, Oct. 19, 1883.
Ed. FREE PREss:-The scandalous
developments concerning the police
muddle here are still coming to light
The testimony given before the grand
jury shows that the city Of st. Louis
has reached it's climax of infamy, and
that the police department and other
important departments of the city
government have been run by the
gamblers. The gang or combination
includes gamblers, most of the police
commissioners, one disreputable law
yer, q horse-shoer named Butler and
the State Oil Inspector, Mcintyre.
It is boldly asserted that the Cover
nor himself is badly implicated, and
that he has received his share of the
"slush" or "swag'. The Governor
has been summoned to appear before
the grand jury, and last evening a
delegation of leading citizens repre-
senting twenty thousand signatures
of our best people called on his
Excellency and demanded that he dis
miss the police commissioners, the
oil inspector Mcintyre, and other
corrupt officials appointed by him.
This morning one Marshal McDon-
aid, the circuit Attorneys Assistant,
was dismissed from employment. ~
Facts have come to light showing
that Warren McChesney, gambler,
and Ed. Butler, the proprietor Of q
low theatre, have controlled and di-
rected the appointment to important
offices and have caused the parties to
be dismissed at their win and pleas

boxes, control local elections, and ex-
act from appointees one-half of their
salaries. NcChesneyis sortof boss

SAN MARCOS HAYS COUNTY TEX AS THURSDAY

cursed us with every opprosrious ep-
tibet, said We should have been shot
when first taken, and then asked why
we were not tied. While Don Jesus
was stammering forth some excuse.
the fellow ordered the trumpeter to
sound an advance, and in three min
utes a turn in the road concealed this
valiant party from view. Before they
departed however, we learned that
they were to act against Col Cook,
Capt. Sutton, and their men, and we
were also informed that Armigo had
left Santa Fe in the morning with
several hundred men, and that we
should met him before nightfall.
The miscreant who had charge OF
us now stated that his imperative
duty was to tie us. With mock sensi-
bility he pretended it was against his
will to do this, but as superior Off
Ger had ordered him hemust comply,
simply for forms sake. After a little
hesitation on the part of Van Ness
and Fitzgerald, they consented to be
tied, and o lariat was accordingly fas-
tened around their wrists while the
other end was held by one OF the
guard. Lewis was also tied and led

KENpALL's NARRATIVE CONTINUED.
Our guard which on the previous
day had only consisted of four was
now increased to eight men, tour
members of the country militia, arm
ed with bows and and arrows and
mounted upon asses, being stationed
two on either side, while Don Jesus
on his mule, lowered around as it to
guard the weaker points in the order
of march. This addition to our
escort had been provided by the al
calde of San Miguel, with a view
probably of rendering our escape o
matter of positive impossibility; yet,
when enfeebled as we were from our
many privations, and the long weary
pilgrimage across the prairies,
we still felt certain that we could
at any time capture Don Jesus and
all his men with the greatest ease.
A determined rush, accompanied by
a true Anglo-SaxOn shout OF def
ance, would have brought every one
of the cowardly wretches to his knees
begging for mercy, yet we should not
have been able successfully to run the
gantlet of well mounted men station
ed at all the passes between us and
our friends.
After parading us in front OF our
miserable quarters, and arranging his
guard around US with pomp and
show, Don Jesus ordered us to march.
The plaza was again crowded with
the women and children and old men
of San Miguel as we hurriedly marched
through it, many of the boys follow
ing and gazing at us until we reached
the extremities of the town. We had
not travelled more than a couple of
miles before tolerably well dressed
woman came running towards from a
small house, bringing a bottle of the
country whiskey, and saying it was
for our use. This we drank upon the
spot, and az we thanked the good
hearted woman for her kindness she
appeared TO fell deeply for our mis-
fortunes. Even after we had been
hurried off by our inhuman guard,
the woman still remained TO gaze
upon us, looking her last look at the
pobrecitOs, whom she really thought
the sun would not set upon alive.
The almost universal brutality and
and cold-beartedness Of the men OF
New Mexico are in strange contrast
with the kind dispositions and tender
sympathies exhibited by all classes Of
women

An Incomplete Revelation.

While Quaker folks were Quakers still,
some fifty years ago,
When coats were drab and gowns were plain
and speech was staid and slow,
Before Dame Fashion dared suggest single
frix or curl,
There dweh mid Penfield's peaceful shades,
On old-time Quaker girl.
Ruth Wilson's garb was Of her sect. De-
void of furbelows,
She spoke rebuke TO vanity, from bonnet to
her toes;
Sweet rcd bird was she, all disguised In feath-
ers of the dove,
With dainty foot and perfect form and eyes
that dreamt Of love.
Sylvanus Moore, q bachelor Of forty years
A quantity pious, weasened soul with beard
and hair Of tow,
And queer thin legs and shuffiing walk and
drawling, nasal tone,
Was prompted by the spirit to make this
maid his own.
He knew it was the spirit, for he felt II in
his breast
As oft before in meeting time, and, sure OF
his request,
Procured the permit in due form. On fourth
day of that week
He let Ruth know the message true that he
was moved to speak.
Ruth, it has been revealed to me that thee
and I shall wed,
/ have spoken to the meeting and the men,
bers all have said
That our union seems righteous one, which
they will not gainsay,
So il convenient to thy views, I'll wed thee
next Third-day."
The cool possession of herself by friend
Sylvanus Moore
Aroused her hot resentment, which by effort
she forebore-
(She knew he was goodly man, OF simple,
child like mind
And checked the word "Impertinence!" and
answered him in kind:
"Sylvanus Moore, do thee go home and wait
until see
The fact that must be thy wife revealed un-
to nae."
And thus she left him there alone, at will to
ruminate,
Sore puzzled at the mysteries Of Love, Free
Will and Fate.
