ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 1S.-Mrs. Frank
Miller. young married woman, waylaid
Thomas Carlett, a middle aged man, at
Randolph and Twenty second streets to-
day, and horsewhipped him in vigorous
manner. 1t is said that Carlett had cir
culated stories that he had several
times met the woman by appointment at
her request, whereas in truth he was not on
speaking terms with her. She heard of the
reports, and wrote note, cOuched in ten
der language, asking him to meet her on
the corner named this morning. She then
posted her husband in an adjoining store,
and her brothers and sisters in close prox-
unity. Attiring herself in close fitting
walking suit, with the rawhide concealed
under her wrap, she sailed out. The
"mashel" was on time, and as he ap-
preached his face was wreathed in smiles.
The woman smiled too, but it was ghast-
ly effort. "Good morning." said he, lifting
his hat, "a nice morning" "Very nice,
you pup" Kissed the indignant woman, as
she brought the whip down with all her
might upon his head. Before the victim
could recover from his bewilderment, lie
was struck half dozen times across the
face and shoulders, the woman emphasiz-
ing each blow with, $50 you want to meet
me, do you? Well, here l am" and sundry
other queries and suggestions. Carlett at
tempted to seize the whip, but the big
brother appeared, and the "nlasher" took
to his heels. He was pursued two blocks
and then the chase was given up.

patch says: "Apropos Of the return Of j.
j. Hill from New York." said a railroad
gentleman, II understand he has under
contemplation a railroad line from Devils

on the Missouri river, and is blessed with
one of the best natural water powers in the

places for the manufacture of flour in the

Baker, in regard to the Erie canal
WHEREAS, This board of trade recog-
nizes the fact that the Erie canal is one OF

SENATOR DOLPH SPEAKS UPON THE pow
ERs TO MAKE REMOVALS.
Mr.. Van Wyck offered the following res
olution:
Resolved, That the committee on public
lands be directed to examine the nature
and extent of the alleged use. and destruc-
tlon OF timber on the public lands adjoining
the line of the Northern Pacific railroad
particularly by the Montana Improvement
company-.and what, if any. additional leg
islation is necessary to protect timber on
the public domain, and that the committee
nave power to send for persons and pa
pers.
The resolution was agreed to.
The chair laid before the senate the new
electoral count bill, and Mr.. Hoar addressed
the senate on the bill. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Hoar's remarks the bill was passed
without division.
Mr.. Dolph, in speaking of removals, re-
viewed the history of the legislation of
congress on the subject of removals, to
show that the power did not lie exclusively
with the president. He also quoted from
the speeches, Of Webster, Calhoun and
other statesmen, in support of his position.
He cited decisions of the supreme court,
to show that the power of removal was in
cidentto the power of appointment; hence,
Mr.. Dolph argued!that, as thepresident and
senate appoint, the president and senate
should remove. He contended that the
power Of removal rested with the presi-
dent. He must have power to remove in
cOmnntnnt Off1nio1o Hour oo,,1d bo oo,r1,
out the policy announced by the people in
his election without agents in harmony
with his purposes? So would he comply
with the injunction to "take care that the

tons looking to the redemption of the

chase. Several members of the committee
were absent, however, and the whole sub
jeet was finally deferred until a future
meeting.
The senate committee on claims, in its
report adverse to private claim which
had been disallowed by the southern
claims commission on the ground of in
sufficient proof of loyalty to the claimant,
says that there are nearly $500 of these re-
jected claims, involving an amount of more
than $50.OOO,OOO. The committee does not
deem it just or wise to open the door to
this food of claims when no substantial or
equitable reason is shown for SO doing
