ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 4.-The Post-Dis-
patch tonight prints sensational expose of
alleged boodling in the securing Of the fran
chise of the Merchants terminal company,
claiming that one member of the city coun-
Gil received &, 300 cash, and Others stock in
the company for their support of the meas
ure. 1t begins to look as though the grand
jury will be compelled by public opinion to
make searching inquiry into the many
charges OF booding recently preferred
against the st. Louis city legislators.

Two Colored Women Jailed for Months
Before Given Trial.

COLUMBIA, S. g., Jan. An outrage
which is now the subject of controversy
| between the authorities of South and
North Carolina, is reported from Spartan
burg county, South Carolina, near the
North Carolina line. In the summer an
old colored woman and her daughter.
Mary Wilkerson, who were engaged as
laborers on the place of J. J. Caldwell,
near Fair Forest, went to Rutherford, n.
G., it is said, and took the daughters old
est son, about IL years of age, from a man
named Miller, to whom he had been bound
out by the commissioners. This was done
against the protests of Mrs. Miller. Some
time in May last, Miller and four other
white men came TO Fair Forest and at once
went to Caldwell's place. They went TO
the colored woman's house, knocked down
the old woman and her daughter with the
butt end OF gun, seized Mary
Whkerson, her son and daughter,
placed them in wagon and
drove rapidly away. To the piteous
cries of the mother for her children, one of
the party said: Eyes, d you. I'll make
you cry more pitifully thar that when |
get you to Rutherford Jail tomorrow"
The boy was taken back to Miller's and
Mary Wilkerson and daughter lodged in
Jail at Rutherford. There they were con-
fined some six months before being
brought to trial. The mother and daugh-
ter were convicted of assault, given the al
tentative of six months more in Jail or to
leave the state. They, of couse, chose the
latter and returned to Spartanburg to join
the rest of the family. The matter has
been referred to the governor and attorney
general. who are now engaged in an Inves-
tigation. A demand will doubtless be
made upon the governor of North Carolina
for the apprehension and delivery to the
authorities of this state of the perpetrators

DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE,

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-In the German
quarter of Williamsburg, terrible double
murder and suicide was reported shortly
before noon today. A man named Frank
lin killed his wife and child and then COM
mitted suicide. A neiRhhor called at the
Sixth precinct station house and stated
that no member of the Franklin family,
who lived in the rear of No. $50 Munger
street, had been seen since Wednesday.
He thought something was wrong Two
officers went to the house. One effected
an entrance through the front window.
All was quiet in the house but passing in
to the bed room Franklin was found
sitting on the edge of the bed with a revolt
yer grasped in his right hand. AS the Off
Ger was about to enter the man drove him
out of the room at the point of the weapon.
Then pistol shot rang out. The officer
rushed in and found Franklin had shot
himsek through the left breast. He was
not yet dead but his wife and 3-year-old
child were lying dead on the same bed.
Franklin-died soon after. Both victims
had been shot through the heart. From
appearances they had been dead two or
three days.

There was great jubilation in Mime
apolis last evening when Supt. Porter's
telegram was published, giving the
ABOVE announcement. The various
newspaper Offices were crowded with
people anxious to verify the reports
on the streets, and the bulletin
boards were scanned by thousands
of citizens. Every one was apparently
satisfied with the recount-at least this
may be taken for granted at the few eX-
pressions of dissatisfaction which were
to be heard. The members of the clti-
zen's committee expressed themselves
as well satisfied with the recount.
Though the figures do not come up to
the expectations of many enthusiastic
citizens, yet they are large enough to
indicate the wondrouS growth of the
city within the last ten years. 1t is
indeed great to record an in
crease of 251 per cent. There
are very few cities in the
union-ay, or in the world-that can
show such an increase of population
within so short a time. The people of
Minneapolis realize this, and That is one
reason for the general jubilation which
characterized their conduct last even
ing. Every one was delighted with the
city, and delighted with himself. The
city had stood recount, and had come

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

Another Kink in the Crossings
Case-The Struck Juries Will
Stand.
There is another hitch imminent in
the matter or the building of the ST..
Louis crossing on Washington avenue
south. Solicitar Clarke, of the ST..
Louis railway, is very much dissatisfied
with the price set upon the strip of
land condemned for the use of the road,
and the price set upon the same by the
owners, the Beebe heirs. A new COM
mission to arrange upon the property
valuation will no doubt be the outcome.
Judge Hicks overruled motion for a
new trial in the case of Mills IL McKin-
ney VS.. Jessie B. Chatterton.
Judge Young heard the application
for interest in the st. Croix Railway
foreclosure case yesterday. The Fidel-
ity. etc, Deposit Company was granted
$4,000 IN interest, but the application
of the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany was not allowed. This was for
$4,000. The court seemed to think that
this company had had its share of the
interest.

MUSIC AND The DRAMA.

That pleasant play house which has
been successfully known as the Henne-
pin Avenue and Harris theater, and
now as the Lvceum, is to be reopened
tomorrow evening under the manage
ment OF the Grand opera house syndi-
cate, which recently purchased it. The
attraction is to be 1.-The Two Or phans."
There is one virtue most rare in most
alfold plays like the 1.-Two Orphans;"
that is their situations and scenes
are seldom exaggerated. This prob
ably to some degree accounts
for their popularity and lasting
favoritism. The company that will
present D'Ennery's first success the
coming week at the ABOVE handsome
play house will include fifteen people,
among whom are Frederic Book and
his talented little wife, Miss Jessaline
Rodgers, besides Fred G. Huebner and
Miss May Louise Aigen, formerly men,
bers of the stock company that for
many months received great favor at
the old Peoples theater in St. Paul.
OF the play and its merits it
is unnecessary to state. Its long
trial upon the public stage and
its continued drawing powers are
too well known to the average theater
goer. Of the company that will produce
it the coming week, Mr.. Book is an
actor of style somewhat his own, of
remarkable versatility; and were we
less familiar with him and his methods
one thing would certainly be noticeable,
that his good points would almost be
forgotten in the surprise of his methods.
A pupil from school that has turned
out some of our foremost Thespians, IN
ali the roles he has been seen in in this
city. which by the way number some
thing over $50, he never rants. never
exaggerates. He will appear the COM
ing week in the famiIi character of
Jacques Frochard." a part he has
played many times. and in which he has
repeatedly received much favorable
press comment from our local papers.
His wife, Jessaline Rodgers, who will
appear as Louise, the blind girl, is GER
tainly a remarkable little woman, and
can be truthfully said to do everything
at least in pleasing manner. She is
an easy and graceful little actress,
always Industrious and an ardent
student. And it would be but worthy
event should these two players be
greeted the coming week by audiences
which the merits of the play and
their past endeavOrS warrant.

Their Indictment has been expected as
