From our Regular Correspondent,
Sr LOUIS, APRL3, 1885.

Sr LOUis, APRIL ., 1853.
EDIToU FpEE Pass The election
for Mayor and other city officers
takes place here next Tuesday and
the political fight between tho Demo
cratic aud Republican hosts is very
bitter indeed,
The weather continues quite frosty
here, and we have had snow this
week.
Norman j. Coleman, appointed by
the President, Commissioners Of Agri-
culture, is an old resident of st. Lou
is and an intimate acquaintance OF
your correspondent for many years.
The fires in the city the past two
weeks have been many and very de-
structiyo. This Is usually. the case
this time Of year,
The Grand Opera House destroyed
by fire last winter is being rapidly
rebuilt, the Aloresduo style of arch
itectruo being adopted 1t will be a
magnificent structure when complet-
cd, and interior decorations and ar.
rangomcnts will be ornate and expon
sivo to oriental richness and profu
sion. 1t will be an "Aihambra.'
The people will pay for it all. They
must be amused, cost what it may.
The average male and female cook in
this city with their 81 and So n week
salary would rather miss their aoanty
meal than fail to see the play.

Treaty of Alliance Entered Into.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Information has
been received in this city that on the 25th
inst. treaty of alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, was formally signed at Salvador by
the governments bf San Salvador, Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. An alliance was entered
into by those states Immediately
upon the announcement of Presi-
dent Barrios' project Of confederation,
but the details of the plan of action for mu
tiial defense were not agreed~upon until the
25th, when the treaty was signed. BY the
treaty Costa Rica pledges herself to. con-
tribute to the common defense for the pres
ent with 500, 900 and 1000 troops, who are
now in Nicaragua, en- route to the seat of
hostilitics. Nicaragua agrees to fur
uish 1000 troops, and San Salvador
her entire available military forces. Costa
Rica gives her aid to the alliance in money
rather than the troops, because her distance
from the border line of San Salvador, where
the Guatemalean forces will seek to enter the
territory of the allies, there is no railroad
and no way for troops to reach San Salvador
from Costa Rica except by tedious march
of several hundred miles. By the terms of
the treaty the president of San Salvador will
have the direction Of operations against
Barrios for the present.

The Globes Statement.

LONDON, March 27.-The Globe says that
proposal partaking of the nature of an
"ultimatum" was telegraphed by the govern
ment to st. Petersburg yesterday. 1t re-
quested at the same time that the Russian
government should send an answer that
would reach Downing street not later than
Monday next. The Globe also declares that
Earl Granville, on the 18th inst, proposed
to Russia that both Russians and Afghans
should withdraw from that portion of the ter
ritory which is at present the subject of dis
pute, and remain outside il during the con-
tinuance of the negotiations then in progress
at London. To this proposal Russia sent no
reply until last Wednesday. She refused to
accede to England's proposition on the
ground that the withdrawal of her troops
would be source of humiliation to Russia.
After this answer was received the cabinet
decided to call out the reserves and militia
and send the ultimatum referred to.

The HANGING of Sexton

LOUISVILLE, March 27.-John Sexton was
hung at Barbourville to-day for the murder
OF George Rowden, the object being robbery.
Sexton murdered Rowden last July and
robbed his person. The body was found two
days later by searching party on the bank
of Indian creek. Rowden formerly lived in
Indiana, but for three years had lived with
his brother in Pulaski county. He was leav-
ing Knox, but Sexton decoyed him back by
some story and shot him from behind. Sex
ton accused his brother-in-law, James Carter,
of committing the murder and swearing it
on him. The people of the locality expected
that he would, before being hung, tell some
thing of the murder of stranger whose body
was found last spring in the same locality.

FIGHTING FOR A STIFF.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, March 26.-The suit of Mrs.
Blanche Ehlen, nee Darringer, Of Philadel-
phia, against her father-iu-law, John Fl.
Ehleu, of this city, to obtain possession of
the remains of her deceased husband, was
commenced here to-day before Chief Judge
Brown. Owingto the high social standing
of the parties the courtroom has been
crowded.
John II. Ehleu, the husband of the COM
plainaut died in November, 1888, and his
remains were buried in the Ehen family
lot at Greenmount cemetery. Shortly after
the widow returned TO the residence of her
parents in Philadelphia. In June last she
applied to the cemetery authorities for per-
mission to remove the remains of her hus-
band, so she could inter them in Laurel
cemetery, Philadelphia, whereby she
might have opportunity of visiting
the grave The father of the deceased
objected to the removal, alleging that the de-
ceased had often visited the cemetery while
alive, aud expressed his wish to be buried
there He says that to allow the remains to
be removed would be narrowing to the feel
iugs of the entire family. He admits having
declined to permit their removal and says be
acted in conformity with the wishes OF the
deceased, his son. Complainant claims
that the remains of her husband were only
temporarily inferred in the lot of her father
in:law, and that ii was understood that thew
were to be subsequently removed TO Phila-
delphia, and that she paid sll the expenses OF
the funeral. In her bill she asks that the re-
spondent DE enioiued from interfering with
the removal Of the remains OF her husband.
The case will occupy several days. The most
learned counsel IN the state are employed.
