drcd members of the congregation of
st. Ladislau's church engaged in a seri-
Gus riot in this city yesterday. The
congregation is about equally COM
posed of Slavs and Hungarians, who do
not affiliate, and it has been customary
to hold services for the former in the
morning and for the latter in the after
noon. Yesterday the Hungarians
wanted to dedicate banner and hold
their services in the morning,
but they did not inform the
pastor until Saturday, and it was
then too late to notify the Slavs. Both
factions met yesterday morning and
engaged in free fight. The police
were summoned, and under their pro-
lection Father Maratouve was removed
to a place of safety, though stones were
hurled at him by the infuriated women.

Married the Tattooed Man.

Miss Lillian Shaffer, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, was married at ScdaIia to George
X. Grant, of the Forepaugh show.
Grant is better known as "Karlavagn,
the electric tattooed man." Miss Shaf-
fer, while living with a wealthy aunt
who had adopted her, met Karlavagn
two years ago, and was at once en-
raptured. Her aunt sent her to Eu-
rope. hoping to destroy the girls in
fatuation for the tattooed, but, as the
sequel shows. distance and time could
not undo the fetters which Cupid had
forged. Several weeks ago Manager
McCaddon of the Forepaugh shows,
while at Cedar Rapids, Ia, was
approached by young lady who
claimed to be a jockey rider. He
allowed her to give a trial exhibi-
tion. and, being satisfied with her
efforts, engaged her. While at Sedalia
Mr.. Cooper received dispatch from
Pittsburg asking if n Miss Shaffer was
with the show. 1t was shown to the
young lady, and she requested that the
answer be withheld until afternoon.
Just before the street parade took place
Grant and Miss Shaffer procured
license, and 4 few minutes later were
united in marriage by Judge Milo Bair.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
returned TO the show grounds, when
Mr.. Cooper was informed of the we'd
ding and requested to reply TO the in
quiry received from Pittsburg that Miss
Shaffer was not with the show, but
Mrs. Grant was. In order to remain
with her husband, who is side-show
attraction, she will probably retire
from hippodrome racing and submit
herself to the tatoocr's hands. and
blossom out in the spring as tatooed
lady.

ber Is, the condemned man has pretty
sure thing on life until some time in
October. When informed of the receipt

expressed no surprise whatever. but ac-

merely remarking that he never did
believe he was born to be hanged.

MISSOURI SCHOOL MONEY.
Annual Apportionment to the Counties Of

the State.
The forty-sixth annual apportion-
ment of state school moneys has been
completed by State Superintendent
Wolf. The last general assembly set
aside onc-third of the revenues of the
state for school purposes, and this, with
interest on the invested school funds
and the receipts from all other sources,
made grand total of SS76.5lsss. Last
year there was an error of S4,02l.55 in
the apportionment to Texas county in
favor of the county, and it is rcim-
bursed in this apportionment by au-
thority of an act of the Twenty-sixth
general assembly. Dcducting this
from the total amount left for distribu-
ton among the several counties the
sum is SS12, 1854. The school enumer-
alton of the state is S61,2lT, the per
capita being fraction over one dollar.
The apportionment by counties is as
