A SHOCKING STORY.
From a Mansion TO a RrotheI in


From Mansion to a Brothel in q
Day.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 9.-The story
of the downfall Of Mrs. Florence Miller
will shock the society circles of Mil
waukee. Monday Mrs. Miller was
surrounded with all the Iuxuries of a
marble mansion, that of her grand
father, the late J. B Martin, who was
before his death some years ago one of
MllWaukee'S most prominent residents.
Last night Mrs. Miller was an inmate of
a Wells street resort. She is the daugh-
ter OF the Countess Sigardi, the mar
rlage of her mother to the Count Sigardi
IN London but little more than year
ago. At present the Count and Count
esS Sigarda are at their home in Italy.
Florence's mother was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j: B. Martin and her first
husband was Sidney Cooper, who was
United States consul to Italy.
While living with her parents in
Washington Florence Cooper, then
girl of not more than fifteen, attained
nOtOriety by publicly horsewhipping
United States Senator Ferry. Within
year afterwards Florence married
William Miller, a wealthy young Eng
liShman. For years they lived happily
together, but about four years
ago her husband became shift
less, since which time she has
been obliged to depend more or less on
her relatives for support. Since her
marriage Mrs. Miller has been a fire.
quent visitor to Milwaukee. and has al
ways been received into the best of So

church up to Sunday last. Monday
afternoon Mrs. Miller left her grand
mothers home, and her whereabouts
were unknown until she was found to-
day by detectives.

FORGING TO THE FRONT.
The Chamber Of Commerce and

The Chamber OF Commerce and
the Auditorium Scheme.
A delegation of market gardeners
yesterday waited upon the chamber OF
commerce while in session. AS a result
of their talk, II. T. Stevens had the tol-
lowing resolution adopted:
Resolved, That a special committee of
three be appointed by the president to inves-
tigate as to the advisability of who lesae
market for market gardeners; that if the
committee find that such a market is adyis-
able, soma plan for its establishment and
maintenance be submitted.
The auditorium scheme also came up
for discussion, out of the following reSO-
luton introduced by Gen. e. G.. An
drewS:
Resolved, That we approve the action of
the city council for changing the market
house nto an auditorium, and would strong
ly urge that said auditorium be thoroughly
fre-proof.
W. Pitt Murray urged the Smith park
site In preference to the market house,
as did L. Reardon, who said there was
an old report somewhere that con-
demned the old market house. They
could get new site for one-quarter of
what the market house plan would cost.
Cass Gilbert agreed with Mr.. Reardon,
but the majority of the members favored
the market house site, and the reSOlu-
ton was adopted.
Albert Seheffer wrote declining the
acceptance Of a nomination as director.
The committee on transportation was
also authorized TO report upon the rea-
son for all interurban street car bust
ness being credited to Minneapolis.

HAWKINS MUST CLOSE.
Garfield Track Under the Ban of
the Authorities.

Tie authorities.
CHICAGO. Dec. GA war of exter-
mination by the public authorities has
at last been inaugurated against the in
stitutiOn known as the Garfield Park
track" The place, though ostensibly a
regular jockey clubs course, is, accord
ing to general belief, largely owned
by George Hawkins, who. until the adj
vent here of a city administration Op-
posed to gambling, conducted one of
the largest houses in the West. Soon
after the forced shutdown of the faro
dens, control Of the old West side track
was purchased. 1t was at once refitted
for business, and when cold weather
began the grand stand and bOOkmakers'
quarters were closed in with glass and
steam pipes put in. From that time the
horses have been going around in the
rain and snow.
Whether in fear of rapidly rising
public indignation OF because the re-
ceiptS of the betting ring were dimin-
iShlng or for what reason, the managers
announced the cessation from the be-
ginning OF next week until spring. The
West side park commissioners, whose
authority is derived direct from the
state of Illinois, decided to close up the
place, and last night, in order to settle
their jurisdiction, adopted a resolution
inStructing the park police TO ''prOhibit,
forbid and abate all horse racing and
gambling" within. specified limits,
which include the site OF the alleged
race track.

ARBITRARY POWER.
State Worlds Fair Boards in Dan
ger of Having 1t,


CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Thirty-one state
worlds fair organizations were repre-
sented in the convention called to meet
today with the board of control, the de-
partment chiefs and the directors
of the exposition. Fully $50 were
present, about half of them being
women delegates from the state boards.
NJ. II. De Young, L. w. Massey and
Judges st. Clair, Lindsay and Martin
dale represented the board of control.
The proceedings had not gone far before
President Baker. of the local directory,
in response to an invitation from Presi-
dent Palmer TO address the meeting.
made speech that seemingly ccmpli-
Gates the relations between the state
boards and the national commission, and
may lead to lively times in the conYen-
ton.
After complimenting his audience he
said: 1.-The object of this convention is
to secure the cooperation of the state
boards in dealing with exhibitors. 70
do this effectively the state OrganiZa-
tons must secure authority from the
board of control. 1t is difficult to deal
with exhibitors from the states through
the departments of the worlds fair.
There must be no discrimination in
the selection of exhibits and the
department chiefs cannot judge of
display in a distant state or diScrimin-
ate between exhibitors. because they
have no means of judging. The remedy
for this would lie in regulations agreed
upon by the board Of control and YOUR
selves. directing all publications for
space from states to come through the
state board and veSting the state author
tiles with the power of discrimination
as to exhibits"
The national commission and its
board alone have heretofore had control
OF applications for space and nstalla-
ton Of exhibits. President Bakers
speech apparently conveyed to the dele
gates the impression that they would
now be given power in their respective
jurisdictions practically to say who
should exhibit and who not. Delegate
Graves, of Wisconsin, at once intro
duced the following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
ference that all applications for space from
exhibitors residing in the United States be
nade to the several state boards direct and
by them forwarded to the director general;
and that no allotment of space to individual
or corporate exhibitors be finally awarded
without the approval of the state from which
such application is filed.
The resolution was laid over until to-
morrow, and from indications will give
rise to lively discussion.

JUDGMENT BY DEFAULr.
The Big English Mining Syndicate
Has Bill to Settle.

judgments were taken in the district
court yesterday against the Iron and
Land Company of Minnesota in the ag-
gregate sum OF 1881, 479.15. This COM
pany is corporation of Great Britain
that purchased extensive tracts of
mineral and timber lands in the north
ern part of the state. In the summer of
1889 the company issued debentures in
large numbers, dated Aug. l of
that year and payable in ten years
with interest payable semi-annu-
were for $50 each and were payable the
London IL Westminster bank at Lath-
burg, London. They were put on the
market by the English company, and a
number of them found their way into
the hands of st. Paul men. The attor-
ney for the concern in ST. Paul was
Homer G. Eller. The lands in St.Louis
and other counties of the northern part
of the state which were purchased by
Incorporation are enhancing in value
and are destined to be almost of fab
ulouS worth. 1t came to the ears of local
owners of the debentures that
the English contingent we're making a
move towards protecting their interests
by a foreclosure of securities. This
was about six weeks ago. The st. Paul
men then made side move to protect
their investments by bringing suits
with attachments upon the land. These
attachments were served upon Emil
Huffman, local director in the COM
pany, the latter part of October, and
yesterday judgments were entered by
default in Clerk O'COnnOr's Office for
the amounts claimed with interest.
These judgments are in the name of
the persons in the amounts named, as
follows: Albert Scheffer, S754, 734. SO :;
James w. Wright, S57, 375.42: Percival
Fowler ct al, SIS, 1913; Homer G. ElIer
ct al. S377.90. The amount of Mr.. Eller
is for legal services for two years. the
others own debentures. The corpora
ton has as yet made no answer to the
complaints filed, and it is probable a
contest will grow out of the action taken
by the st. Paul people.

that is forcing its Teutonic way. A
better and cheaper alcohol is had from
it than from potatoes. which have been
the source Of this sort of inspiration.
In one week in November 10000 barrels
of alcohol were exported from New
York, the first in many years of any
account. 1t is estimated that more than
100000 bushels of corn will be re-
quired for this new demand from the
German distillers. Whether the agri-
cultural bureau has been pushing
this use of corn upon foreign attention,
or the favor shown by the residents for
this beverage has had effect or not,
there will be a greatly increased de-
mand for corn over the water.
