The United States Association OF Charcoal
Iron Workers are now holding their fifth
annual meeting in st. Louis. To-day WED
nesday) they go on an excursion to the mines
and furnaces of Southeast Missouri; tO-mor-
row they will take in the Exposition, and
visit all places of interest about the city; and
on Friday they will come down to Pilot Knob
and explore the mines, and examine the va
rious WORKS at this point. In order that
they may see the tunnels, etc., as they APP
pear when the mines are being worked, the
department officers here have ordered that
the electric lights be put in position, and
number of Rand air-drills be made ready for
operation. Messrs. Beard, Boughen, Killing
and Perry, employed, since the closing down
of the mines, as watchmen, will be busily
engaged all week i'm putting things in order.
About two hundred visitors are expected,
and we are sure all will be well satisfied with
the entertainment preparing for them.
The st. Louis morning papers last We'd
.nesday stated: George Lopez, of Ironton,
Mo-, was brought I'm yesterday, by deputy
u. s. Marshal, Wheeler, charged with keep
ing tobacco mandatory without a license.
The true version of the trouble Is as follows:
Wheeler went into Lopez's store several days
ago and ask to see their United States tobacco
license. By an unfortunate oversight Lo-,
peZ's had allowed their license to run out
and hadlfaiDed to get it renewed, and could
therefore show no license. He then took
Geo. Lopez to st. Louis with him, where he.
(George) was released on his own bond of
$780,. As the license in question only COSTS
about two dollars and fifty cents, it would be,
the very height of foOlishness for any one I'd
think Lopez's would fora moment attempt
to evade payment Of it. There are too many
hungry u. S. officials Fishing" for fees, and
too many people, innocent at heart, pulled
up' daily to allow anyone to have the fool
hardness to try and escape paying the NOM
inal sums demanded by the United States
government.
In the case of j. Alice Wiesner and hus-I
band, rs. Meyer Brothers & Co., the circuit
court of Madison county on last Thursday
ordered the goods levied upon by the sheriff
of this county, to he sold to satisfy the exc
cution heretofore issued and levied upon
them. Meyer Bros. several years ago took
judgment, in Madison county, againt A. II.
sawyer or several hundred dollars: SUISSE
quently Mr.. Sawyer purchased stock of
drugs from Mr.. Wiesner, of this place, CIV
ing mortgage on the goods rs security for
the amount unpaid. In last December
Meyer Bros. had the execution levied, rely
ing Upon the Missouri adjudications, that a
mortgage in possession of the mOrtgagor,
with power of sale, was void. After the
levy Mrs. Wiesner filed her claim to the
property with the sheriff. Under the law
the sheriff returned the execution and claim
with Meyer Bros. bond) into the Madison
county circuit court; where the above dis
position was made by that tribunal. Emer-
son and Edgar were the plaintiffs attorneys;
j. B. Walker represented Meyer Bros.
The readers of the REGISTER will esmem-
Der our mention of tramp falling off train
near Hogan, and that, after his recovery
from that mishap he was taken i'm and en-
ployed as q Farmland by Judge Holloman.
The tramp gave his name as Smith. For
few days he worked WELL considering his
weakness from recent sickness. Sunday
evening, however, he Skipped OUT" taking
with him pair of gold-bowe spectacles
and fine gold wath belonging to Judge III.
The latter article was highly priced by the
Judge, it being a present from a brother
living in Mississippi. The thief is known to
some of our citizens, having cut cord-wood
for the Gay Bros. about eighteen months
ago. We hope he may get his deserts-a
good. long time i'm the penitentiary, at least.
