ST. LOUIS, Jan. PA ghost story
of srisIy proportions has been radiatug
from the Southern Hotel for three
days. In room l44, in April, 1885,
Maxwell chloroformed Prcller to death,
then, after robbing the body, he pack
ed it in a trunk, where it lay for two
weeks. Since then the guests who
haye occupied the room have had
strange experiences. The hotel peo-
pie at first laughed at their fears, but
the laugh soon turned to a very sckly
smile when some of the employees tried
to sleep all night in the apartment.
Groans aud frightful noises, attended
with the opening and closing of ward
robe doors, created panic among the
employees and guests. Finally the
horror of IA spread to such an extent
among the travelling public that the
room could not he assigned Then
the hotel people changed the number
and called it 1873. This had no effect
on the circns. Last week one OF the
best known men in the city occupied
the room for three nights and was then

sense and reliability. He said: 81

Republicans Compelled to Show
Their Hands.

A late Washington special to the
Times Democrut says. Senator Eustis
received to-day many congratulations
from his Democratic colleagues upon
bis mastery manenvre Yesterday in
compelling the Republicans to shaw
their hands upon the sugar question.
Their repeated arguments that they
were in favor of giving the people
cheap sugar and that the Democratic
party was opposed to it had produced
Il strong impression upon Democratic
Senators, some of whom had stated
that they were in favor of putting SUI
car on the free list, and others that
they wonid not vote to increase the
sugar duty imposed by the Senate bill.
Senator Eustis showed that the Sen
ate bill would operate only against
the sngar interests of Louisiana and in
favor of the interests of the East, as it
gave the latter cheap raw sugar and
also protected them to such point as
to prevent the importation Of any re-
tined sngars whatever He showed
that even if the Senate bill became a
law the price would be as absolutely
controlled by the sugar trusts as it is
to-day. This amendment was only
aimed at q reduction of the duty upon
highly refined sugar to the sague rate
proportionate!y as had been made with
regard to raw sugars, or sugars of a
lower grade, which are made in Louis
ana. Mr.. Aidrich in the debate was
compelled to adu it that the duty on
refined sugars was prohbtory and
that it was in the interests of refners
of sugars. Mr.. Eustis thereby slc-
ceecieG in p'acing the Republican par
" on record against cheaper sngar to
the consumer and overthrew every ar
gnmrns that they had made in favor
of the reduction on Louisiana susas,
as proposed il the Sen4le bill.
