THE ST. LOUIS SCANDAL.
Members of the House of Delegates
i'm TrOmhIe

ST. LOUIS. July 1.-THE grand jury
closed its investigation of the charges
against the members of the house of dele
gates last night, and returned indictments
against six of them. Messrs. Waters,
Pishon, Bruggemann, Gartenbach, Keenan,
and one other, whose name has not yet
been ascertained. were indicted for drunk
enness in Office, and Messrs. Keenan,,
Pishon and Brady for bribery in connection
with the Casino theater investigation, when
the bill revOking that theater'S license for
indecent performances was before the
house. The jury returned two other indict-
ments for bribery, one against DR.. Yelling
ton Adams, the other against Charles A.
Davis, an attorney. These gentlemen had
charge of the electric railway bills, and
were present at almost every session of the
house, urging its passage. The bill failed
to pass, however, and it was said that DR..
Adams became enraged at the members
who voted against the measure and threat
ened in the lobby of the house
TO SHOW UP SOME OF THEM
in such an unenviable light as to make
them decidedly uncomfortable. Then fol-
lowed the charge against twelve delegates
that they were ineligible to office, having
perJured themselves Dy swearing falsely to
the oath when they took their Seats This
expose quite naturally aroused the wrath of
the accused, and they determined to pay
the doctor off in his own coin, and gave the
information to the jury, which led to his
Indictment this information being that he
had offered two of the members large
sum of money for their affirmative votes
upon the bill. DR.. Adams states, however,
that he never attempted to bribe these
members, but that they, on the other hand,
came to him and volunteered to vote for the
bill for certain consideration. Delegate
PishOn and DR.. Adams were arrested this
afternoon and brought into court, where
they furnished bond in the amount OF
1,500 each.
Delegate KEENAN, and eX-Delegate Brady
surrendered themselves late in the after
noon and gave the required bonds.

heavy set of people and the treatment that
she would be apt to receive in Chicago
would have a tendency to drive her to
drink. which, of course. would be an eX-
cusable error and might not be set down by
the official scorer, but it wouldn't look well
to the crowd in the grand stand.
There are a large number of jobs that
Miss Cleveland could get which think
would wear out more pocketbooks than this
one she proposes to take in Chicago. If
she should come to st. Paul and start dog
farm, paying particular attention to fighting
stock, she could quit the country inside of
two years via the limited express. If she
goes into the editorial traffic in Chicago
she's liable to be compelled to go back to
New York inside of year step at time.
My advice to Miss Cleveland is to keep
aloof from Chicago if she desires to save
her salary and feed herself with a fork
three times day. If she does this in
