THE END OF STREET WALKING.

The Police Instructed to Enforce the Law
One Arrest.
With that perfect good taste and eminent
regard for the truth which is the specially
of the Inteligencer, that journal headed the
resolution offered in the Second Branch o.
Council BY President Sweeney, Tuesday
night, "a crusade against Porter Smith, y
leayingit TO be inferred by the wayfsrer
who might not be fully posted either as to
the little peculiarities of the Intelligencer
or the facts in the case. that the REGISTER
was now, and had been in the past,
conducting Crusade" against the
police department of this city.
1t is, perhaps, needless to remark that
nothing of the sort has at any time been
contemplated by Us, but in making this as
sertion for the benefit of any who, by any
possibility, may have been misled, we will
add that both the Intelligencer and the
Chief of Police know that our only object in
referring to the evil of street walking and
other topics touched upon in the article emit,
tied Under the Gsshght" was to secure the
proper enforcement ola city ordinance long
lost sight of by the city authorities, and to
curb an evil which has grown until it could
no longer be tolerated.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Smith,
realizing the justice of the complaints made,
issued orders to his men to rigidly enforce
the ordinance bearing on the matter herein
alluded to, and last night the initial arrest
was made, Officer West srresting one Kitty
Blake on Market street and lockny be; up
for hearing before His Honor this morn
ing. This Is but the beginning, and it
would be we'll for persons interested to
govern themselves accordingly.

MADE A MISTAKE.
George Woods Attempts to Rob
Matte Childs.

George Wood is Young man of some
what rapid propeusities. Last evening, in
company with two other young men he
visited the bAgnio of the notorious Matte
Childs, and while there awaited himself of
the opportunity to go through her bureau
drawer, appropriating silk handkerchief
and stone from a set of paste ear rings.
Shor ly after the departure of the trio.
Matte missed her property and notified
Officer Gossage, who soon found the three
in buggy about to depart for Iamonte.
He hailed them and informed them he
wanted thsm, at the same time stating the
nature OF the complaint made. They,
however, bitterly deniei the charge, and
George Wood attempted to get rid of the
articles, but the lynx eyes of the officer
were upon him and discovered the maneu-
vre. This incensed Wood, but he was
soon brought 10 terms, and
tie trio were taken to the
st aIiou, where the Glen property
was found in Woods possession. war
r mt was sworn out before Justice Halstead
charging him with the theft, and he gave
boz d TOR his appearance. A visit 10 Matte
Childs drew from her a sta 'ement subsian-
Iitliy as given above, but she begged that
Woods shonld be allowed to 60, and claimed
the three were "nice young men," Her
rayer is not likely to be granted however,
and her CONNIE Idslion is not likely to.
prove advantageous to their characters.

DROWNED,
Little Willie, Son Of Mr.. e. N. Gil
flllan, of Fort Scott.

From parties who came up from For
Scott yesterday the BAzoo learned of thu
sad death of the little son of Mr.. E. N
Gilfllan, of that place, but who is vel
known in this city, be having been the con.
tracto. for much of the fine ornamental
stone work done here:
The circumstances surrounding the acct
dent are these: The family had about fn-
ished eating their supper, little Willie hav
ing eaten first and gone into the yard TO
play. While thus engaged he either re-
moved plank which covered the cistern
and thus fell in or wandered TOO near, it
being already open. The family think,
however, that the cistern was covered, as ii
had been and there was no occasion for its
being open, the cistern being built under
the house and having a pump going up
into the house, by which water was drawn.
After finishing supper, Mrs. Gil6llan mis- ed
him, and making search found him iu the
cistern, where he had probably been
about half hour. Assistance
was called and every effort known 10 med
ica1 science was made by DR.. Dickman,
Mrs. DIR Hall and Mrs. c. III. Haynes to
Iesuscitste him, but the spark of life hsd
fed. Little Willie was beautiful child
twenty-five months old, and was the pride
of his mother and the apple of his fathers
eye, and source of pleasure and pride to a
large family circle.

The Lindeu Hotel.

From Col. Vincent Marmsduke who came
down from Brownsville on his way to st.
Louis, last night, fu 1 of anxiety over the
reported confagration of he Lindell hotel
in St Louis, which is the property of
himself and wife. the BAzoo learns that the
building originally cost 81 500 900 on which
there is an insurance of only $3.50, 900 and
surance of $4,000. The original Lindell
hotel, as will be remembered, was destroyed
by fire in April 1867, and the present struct-
ure erected in 1868 and was purchased sew
eral years ago by Col. Marmaduke, who
says that the rebuilding OF the hotel would
probably cost something over half the
original amount at the present time.

HINSDALE & MENEFEE.
How They Tumbled on to SO 600
Good Money.

1t will be Remembered that, in 1882, Nc
Pike d Johnston of the Star mule stables,
ST. Louis, failed. VIII the firm failed il
caught quite a number of dealers iu differ
ent parts OF the country tor large amounts
Among the heaviest losers In this part of
the state was Mes.rs. Hin. dale g. Mensfee,
of Ssdalia. They hustled around a few
days, goirg for all that was in sight, bnt
did not see much and got less. They finally
pocke'ed their loss and settled down to the
only alternative left, 10 hustle for more,
and they are known in this country as well
up in this important element of success.
Last Sunday the ST Louis Glob-Demo-
crat contsined the following death notice:
"JoHNsToN-Suddenly, at his re, iderc,,
1886 Stoddsrd street, at $40 p. M, April
Is. james Johnston, jr.. sged % years"
This Mr.. 10 nstou, dece sed, wss of the
defunct firm of McPike & Johnston. Be
fore his death he assigned to Messrs Hins-
dale 4 Menefee $4,000 policy on his life
in a solvent eastern company, aud DOW the
money comes 10 our friends and neighbors
in Seialia.
This act on the part of Mr.. Johnston
demonstrates that he wanted 10 be and died
an honest msn. While this does not fully
pay the debt, it makes it so near qui1ated
that the busting firm Of Sedalia Ii ex-
ceedingly coed.
