In a New Role.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Ross Raymond,
who has made himself notorious in mum.
Der Of cities, including Pittsburgh, has
been heard from again. Information has
been received hero confirming the theory
that he Is following the track Of Mr.,
Mather, the distinguished Englishman, a
relative OF whom this man reprepresents
himself to be, and is most successfully
playing his confidence pame on the unsus-
pecling friends oi MIR. Mather. Professor
Woodward, Of Washington University,
states that he began by victimi7ing Nj.
Mather himself, about two years ago,
when travelling in California together.
After this he played the role OF corres-
pondent for the London Daily Ns,rs.
About two weeks ago Raymond ap-
peared in Boston, and calling himself
Charles Mather, succeeded in imposing
on one OF Mr.. Mather's intimate friends.
He broughta forged letter Of introduction ;
claimed 10 have come 10 America for the
purpose Of sailing the Genesta in the race
then pending; he obtained a loan without
trouble and then left. He Is possessed Of
80 intimate 9 knowledge OF Mr.. MatheF
and his family, and Is withal so thorough
ly posted on all subjects, that he has little
difficulty in playing bis game. The
scoundrel is tall, fully six feet, rather cor.
pulent, Weighing 200 pounds; straight,
With rather lofty bearing. He Is Of dark
complexion, has black mustaChe, with
no other beard, and is always we'll dressed.

Tus ISTELLIdRHcRR believes that the
Police Committee desires to make its in
yestigaEon effective. Some Of the mem-
bers however, have 30 morbid dread OF
what they mistake for public opinion that
they declare in advance their unwilling
ness to take an active part in the examina-
ton Of witnesses, lest they be thought to
be volunteer prosecutors. The committee
has been authorized to investigate. This
implies the asking Of questions, and some
body has to do it. Since the city is not to
be represented by counsel, who is to ask
questions il not the members Of the com
miItee. I.I4
On second thought the reluctant gen
tlemen of the committee may be able to
See that they are in much more danger Of
compromising themselves and incurring
public displeasure II they do not push the
inquiry than II they do. The public
opinion which Is to be respected is very
much in earnest about this matter and
will expect every committeeman to do
his duty, and It does not require very
heroic exhibition Of icourage TO do that in
this case. We indulge the belief that as
the investigation proceeds the committee
men will become SO interested that they
will all want to be asking questions at
nura

tenants put on the bill that Rev. II. W.
Baker would be accorded the privilege OF
reply. This was the greatest mistake OF
his lite.
DR.. Baker is Mayor Of this place, is q
temperance man and speaker, q administer
and man Of deep thoug ght. A large crowd
congregated to hear the discuss on. The
universal opinion is that Henthorne's
hackers had been too familiar with the
wrong man. The speech oil Henthorne
was the most illogical affair ever thrown
from the City Hail stage. He WIS false
in his statements, very abusive to his old
party, and eulogizsd Brother Leonard Ia
such an extent that all though he should
remain in Springfield; thai another i'm.
practicable should not be sent to Colum-
bus. He spoke for about an hour and
seemed principally impressed that the
Church should follow him because he and
Brother Leonard said 80.
DR.. H.W. Baker followed and was greet
ed with terrific applause. There has not
been speech delivered here for years
that contained more good, wholesome Re.
publican doctrine than did Bakers. The
committee should put their eyes on him.
1t soon seemed that Henthorne had been
placed on buzz saw that was to annihi-
late him. Never was debate more sig.
nally defeated, nor the fallacy Of the third.
party fraud shown up more wildly OF
powerfully. Henthorne covered before
him, and the crowd went almost wild with
delight because Of the power OF his logic
and the unanswerabie statements spread
before the Prohib.we-shuns. 1t was a
great victory. The Prohibs. are disheart.
ened, and cannot deny the mistake Of put.

From the above report Of last evenings

a Ionv Investigation and one which, under
the method determined upon by the COM
mittec, cannot but cost the city quite a
suln. It was suggested after the adjourn
mput Of the meeting last night, In the IN,
,crest Of economy, and as means Of
sneediiy closing up the matter, that both
tbs defence and the city discard the idea

They saw they were not going to have
things their own way, and they concluded
tha! they had more to lose by having g
competent lawyer against them than BY
having the Attorney General OF West Vir'
yinia for them. 1t was about this time
that they took an economical turn and de
sired to save the city expense. They would
have accomplished even more in this
direction it they had not resolved to brave
it through to the end. The interesting

New YoRx, Sept. 3O.-The Sun com.
menting on the selection Of Gen. Edward
F. Jones, OF Binghamton, as the candi.
date Of the Democratic party for the
office OF Lieutenant Governor, says the
selection is very fortunate one, and will
greatly strengthen the admirable ticket
headed by Gov. Hill. The paper briefly
reviews Gen. Jones war record, and con-
cludes by congratulating the Democratic
State Committee upon its happy conclu-
sions and deliberations.
The Times says: General Edward F.
Jones has been lowered into the hole
made in the Democratic ticket by Roswell
P. Flowers withdrawal. The General
was a brave soldier and helped TO put
down the rebellion. The Republican
ticket has four brave soldiers who helped
put down the rebellion. General Jones
is Governor Hills personal selection for
the vacant place." The paper then goes
on TO say that the selection was made
to Influence the soldier vote, and asserts
that General Jones has made q mistake In
allowing himself to be placed in false
position. "Fhe General" the paper con-
cludes, "is used merely as a decoy, and he
is expected to get votes for the ticket on
the strength Of his record as soldier.
The Tribune likens General E. F. Jones
to Marcus Curtius, who, according to the
legend, by putting himself in the gap ef-
tected its closing, but at the expense OF
his own life.
The Star says the selection of General
Jones, soldier with such an excellent
record, will crush the Republicans hope
Of stampeding the whole soldier vote to
General Carr, and asserts that the ticket
as it now stands will compare favorably
with that selected by the Republicans.
The Herald says the selection was main.
ly influenced By desire to place soldier
on the ticket TO offset e.inauenCe OF
General Carr on the Republican ticket.
The World merely says that the selection
gives satisfaction, and contiues itself to Il
review OF the Generals war record.

Chicago, Sept. 30.--A four.story brlcl
building in the rear Of Nos. 1855 and l9t
South Clark street, collapsed at 2:St
o'clock this morning. The basement O.
the wrecked structure was used as the
working part Of bakery, and several EN-
ployes we're engaged there just prior tc
the fall. They were alarmed by the crack
ing OF walls and rafters, and left
the scene OF danger only few min
utes before the roof fell n with crash,
and tho cornice and all the loora tumbled
down to the first story. The rear wal
also fell out, destroying several old sheds
that stood adjacent. The loss is estimated
ut $50, 900, as the contents OF the building
were very valuable, there being $1,000
worth OF dessicated eggs alone in one part
The second floor was stored with hour,
On the third there was large machine
shop with a valuable plant, and the fourth
floor was devoted to the manufacture oil
printing rollers. It was reported that
several men were missing, and tiremen
have since been clearing away the debris
to ascertain il any OF the uniortunates are
buried hereunder.
Il was fortunately found, however, that
no one had been injured. The structure
was originally built for Chas. Woodman
by Coke Brothers. The supports through.
out the entire building were wooden, and
it was ascertained the collapse was caused
by dry-rot in the the timbers at the point
where the girders rested onthe joists. The
building had given no evidence Of its
weakness until its collapse.
Some Of the men working in the base
ment had narrow escape from being in
volyed in the ruin. The present proprie,
tors had taken the building after 1t had
been pronounced in good condition by
architects, and they will now be com
PEELED to tear the entire structure down.
