The President of Manufacturing Com
pany Over Issues Stock.
SAN FRANCISCO, January From a
suit brought here it would appear that
Charles f. Merle, president of the Cali
fornia Bone Meal Fertilizer company, and
local agent for Fairbanks & Co., of Chi
oago, who disappeared last week, had
caused an over issue of $50 shares of the
Fertilizer oompany's stock. Frederick
Tillman, jr. holds certificates for ITO
shares of this over issue, for which he
claims to have advanced $4,000 to Merle.
Tillman has brought suit to recover his
money from the company. The re-
mainder of the over issue has not been
accounted for, but fifty shares are under
stood to be held by President WEIGH, of
the American Sugar Refinery. A meet
ing of the directors of the Bone Mill COM
pany was held yesterday, and according to
the books it appeared their liabilities
were $1,400. A committee of three has
been appointed to investigate the affairs
of the company. One of the officers of
the company gave it as his opinion that
Merle had committed suicide to avoid
exposure.

LABOR TROUBLES.

Question of the Settlement Of the Bur-

CHICAGO, January LIN regard to the
rumor that the strike of engineers of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
had been settled, Second Vice-president
Stone said yesterdays conference between
the officials of the road and Brotherhood
committee had adjourned till Wednesday,
which was evidence that conclusion had
not been reached. The company, he said,
would not recede in the slightest degree
from it's present position. Not one man
OF the new engineers, fremen, switchmen
or brakemen would be discharged to make
way for strikers. The company had no
i'll will against the striking men and de-
sired in no way to persecute them, but
Justice must be done to the new men.
"Is the strike in fair way of settle
ment, Mr.. StoneY"
"You may say that the present commit
tee of nine has shown better disposition
to treat fairly with us than any other.
They are fine body of intelligent men,"

FIRE AT ST. LOUIS.


One of the Largest Commercial Buildings
in the Country Destroyed.
ST.. LOUIS, January 1.-The immense
six-story building of the Richardson Drug
company, on the northwest corner of
Fourth street and Clark avenue, was al
most totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing between and O'Clock. 1t was one
of the largest concerns of the kind III tae
country and was well stocked with goods.
The flames spread with great rapidity and
ten minutes after the alarm was given
nearly the whole building was a seething
mass of fire. Several explosions of chem
icals occurred, and the heat was 80 intense
that the firemen could scarcely approach
the building. The surrounding property
was in great danger, but by
great exertion and the calling out
of the entire fire department
the fire was confined to the drug house,
there being but little damage done out
side.
A panic was anticipated in the South
ern hotel, which was less than block
away, but the guests were told there was
no immediate danger, and the occupants
of the house descended quietly and leis-
urely to the ground floor or gazed at the
fire from their windows.
The loss is $4,000 and $4,000 on the
laboratory; insurance, $650,000. The
main building belonged to e. j. Gay, of
New Orleans, and was valued at $l50,O00;
insurance unknown. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

Patterson, Charged With Crookedness at
Fort Worth, Denies the Charges.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, January 1.-Frank Patter-
son, who was arrested yesterday by Chief
of Police Jordan, upon kilograms that he
was wanted for embezzlement in Fort
Worth, and also on charge of murder, is
still in custody at police headquarters.
City Marshal Farmer, of Fort Worth, upon
whose dispatches Patterson was arrested,
has not yet arrived for his man. Patter-
son says the charge of embezzlement
arose out of the fact that Jake Johnson,
of the firm of Johnson g Foster, proerid-
tors of the White Elephant and Palace
Worth, gave him $50 to engage man who
was flush in game of poker. If Patterson
was successful he was to have half of the
winning. Failing to induce his man to
flag poker, Patterson says he lost John
sons $50 and more in Johnson's house at
faro. AS to the charge of murder, Patter-
son says that he is guiltless; that he has
no knowledge of ever numbering or at
tempting to murder anyone. Patterson
is native of Kentucky, and prior to his
gambling career was a commercial
traveller. He is married and before his
arrest he and his wife were boarding in a
respectable boarding house on Avenue H,
this city, and since his detention at the
police station his wife, who is quite a
lady-like woman, has called to see him
frequently.

The EMPERORS RECEPTION.
BERLIN, January 1.-The emperor's re-
marks during the reception to-day were
without special interest. He singled out
from personages passing before him
Count Herbert Bismarck, General Won
Schellendorf, Count Szeohepsji, Austrian
ambassador, and several others, speaking
few words to each. The days cere-
monies were ushered in by trumpess blow
ing the reveille outside the palace chapel
at 10 O'Clock. The divine service in the
chapel was attended by the emperor and
empress, Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince
Albert of Prussia, Prince George of Sax
ony, Prince Leopold of Bavaria, Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, Grand
Duke of Hesse and Duke and Duches of
Saxe-Weimar, and brilliant array
of generals. After the service there
was general reception of the court and
ministerial officers, long train defiling
before the emperor and empress. The
ladies were IN half mourning, wearing
high-neoked dresses and bonnets, but no
jewels. The congratulations of the court
were held in the White salon of the
schlosse, and we're distinct from the spe-
cial audience accorded the foreign ambas-
sailors.
At later reception the emperor is rep
resented as having addressed each repre-
sentative of the great powers with the
same formula expressing his desire for a
| continuance of cordial relations.
Official communications issued this
| evening" stated that the emperor RETAINED
| from any special reference to the political
situation.
| Prince Bismarck's attack of neuralgia
govt is abating, but he is unable to fix a
date for coming to Berlin. He will GER
tainly not be able either to be present at
the opening of the landtag or to partici-
pate in the centennial debates in the
reichstag.
Minister Won Boetiescher went to Fred
ricksrube on Sunday to receive instruc-
| tions relating to business in the landtag
and the speech from the throne.
The emperor and empress sent Prince
Bismarck costly Christmas gift-the
emperor, in a long autograph letter, ex
pressing gratitude for Bismarck's services
and hopes for his early recovery.
| The landtag will be opened by the en-
peror. The session will be an interesting
one. The government measures include
bills dealing with police administration in
the eastern provinces, clerical education in
Posen and extension of railways on the
eastern frontier. For the last-named pur-
pose Minister Mayback wants credit OF
40 100000 marks.
The public prosecutor to-day served
upon Professor Griffecken an indictment
for high treason. 1t is voluminous doc
ument, indicating long trial and the
calling of numerous witnesses. The trial
will likely begin at Leipsic at the end of
January. The Indictment traces the en-
tire working of the life of Geffenken in
trying to prove that he has been the per
sistent enemy of German unity.

Letter to Jim Jones, His Body Servant
During the War.
RALEIGH, N. O., January flames H.
Jones, colored, of this city, who was Mr..
Jefferson Davis body servant while the
latter was president of the Southern Con-
federacy, wrote him a letter some weeks
ago expressive of his high regard. Jones
stated he had not seen his former master
since both were taken to Fortress Monros.
Jones was captured with Mr.. Davis in
Georgia, and made great effort to secure
his masters escape. Mr.. Davis makes
special mention of him in his history.
Jones has made a particular denial of
the story that Davis was attired in
woman's clothing when captured.
Since the war Jones has lived here. He
is republican in politics, and for eighteen
years been an alderman. His love for Mr..
Davis amounted to devotion. The fol
lowing autograph letter came to-day from
Mr.. Davis, dated at Beauvoir, Mise:
"Your letter with its assurance of kind
remembrance, has been received, and it
gave pleasure, not only to me, but to all,
also to my daughter, who was an infant
when you were with me. Mrs. Davis
you know, was always your particular
friend. We have all rejOiced when we
have heard of your honorable prosperity
and have felt that it was what was due to
your integrity and fidelity. The many

parted have in no wise diminished my re
gard for you and interest in your welfare
On Christmas day mailed to you the last

might see me as l now am. With the best
wishes from myself, Mrs. Davis and all my
household, am, truly your friend,
