A WIFE'S TESTIMONY
August Meyer Sinks From Opu-
lence to Poverty.
ARRESTED FOR ENLIGHTENMENT
Mrs. Meyer, with Tears In Her Eyes, Tells OF
Her AFFECT and Dire
Want.

August Meyer is in peck Of trouble, the
greater portion of which was brought on by
his own misconduct. A few years ago,
while living in Denver, August had the
good fortune to draw s15, 900 in the Louisi-
ana lottery. He put up terrace at Den
yer, and then coming on to this city, in
vested the balance of his money in the
T1voli saloon, on Main street For q. time
business was good and August coined
money, but after awhile his trade COM
menced to fall off, and this, combined with
bad business management, finally ex-
hausted Meyers funds. AS matters COM
menced to approach a crisis, August re
sorted to questionable means to save some
thing from the wreck. A good deal
of his stock disappeared mysteriously, and
other property was disposed of. When his
creditors stepped in they found but little
left for them, and soon after August was
arrested for embezzlement and was held to
the grand jury. There are a grea; many
civil suits pending against him and one OF
them was tried before Commissioner
Norrell yesterday. The plaintiffs, Braun
scheweiger & Co., sued to recover S299. q

trial Mrs. Meyer was put on the stand

G. E. Ridgeley, of Ogden, formerly q
Farmer Alliance man from Kansas, took
the floor, and taking the Senator at his
words about John Bull muzzling the press
and nominating Presidents, observed: Had
any of us alliance men) made these asser-
lions, we would have been called little
luny." He rather tied up the Repu blican
Senator by asking: ST both the great par
ties are owned by the money power, where
are we to seek relief."
| The natural inference was so plain that
It was in the alliance, that the Senator
from Nevada was completely stumped, and
1T took him some time TO recover. Getting
his second wind, the Senator tried to hedge
in this manner:
The labor organizations, the Farmers
Alliance, and strong public sentiment de-
mand the passage of free silver legislation.
We passed free silver bill in the house
last year, but they delayed it until it was
too late. In Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton we passed bill, but Mr.. Cleveland
being candidate, the administration
smothered it.

The st. Johnsbury Republican seems to
object to the ''staying" qualities OF the
postal agents. These men do live on intheir
sphere OF labor for a long time But the
position is one that requires that kind of
skill that is gained by practice, and if civ
il service rules have any meaning any
where here is where they mean something
The length OF time in which man holds
his place as postal clerk, other things be-
ing equal, ought to limit public approval.
These men ought not to continue to hold
their places by suffrage but by their hon
esty and skill, such as is gained by prac-
tice. There are men in all the departments
at Washington who cannot be spared from
their places. To remove them would Sc
riously hinder business. Administrations
come and go but they live right along out
side the range of politics. 1t stands in the
favor of any man that he can render long
service in these flexible times.

kind OF Cuts or Fashion Plates used solely
because they are cheap. Ladies purchas-
ing the "Favorite Fashion Journals can
rest assured they win find nothing in
them except the genuine French styles.
On going abroad they would also always
find themselves ''in the fashion, il they

The st. Albans fire will leave bitter re-
fiections in the minds OF many people in
connection with the Thanksgiving Day
OF 1891 The day was mostly spent in ex-
amining ruins. The flames had been rag
ing through the night. Block after block
had gone down into ashes, the fortunes of
many had been swept away, the public
welfare had suffered, and how could they
give thanks Stores, offices, one church,
the opera house, ETC., all swept away made
it seem like anything but Thanksgiving
Day. Full accounts of the destruction ac-
complished have been given by the papers
so that there is no occasion to go over the
ground again. Suffice it to say that the
fire is supposed to have caught from the
bursting of an oil stove about midnight
OF Wednesday and burned the remainder
OF the night. Some alarm was created by
the scarcity of water, but it was found that
there was sufficient, help came from Bur-
lington, and vigorous work was done in
saving all that could be saved. The losses
are quite heavy, being set at about $50, 900.
Most of this property was protected by in
surance, but as every one knows who has
been through a fire insurance does not do
SO much in saving from loss as it does in
helping start again. The Congregational
was a fine building, but there viii follow
a finer and more modern structure. The
various religious bodies showed their good
will bv offering the temporary use of their
church edifces. Some losses are hard to
be borne. A great many valuable books
and law papers were burned. The law IL
brarv of the Royces, one Of the most valu-
able in the State, was lost. Many docu-
ments bearing upon pending suits were a.
mong the losses, which viii occasion the
delay of the decision Of some suits at law.
Unoccupied buildings are being brought
into temporary use, and as new buildings
are erected, the appearance Of the town
wiz doubtless be greatly improved. It is
fortunate that not many families were de-
prived Of homes
