Police oaicer Ed. smith Gives Citizen a
Close Call Wtth So Calibre.
Al or near about 4.30 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, our citizens were start
led with the report that Mr.. l.. D..
Matthaei, Of the drug firm Of Il. C.
Williams & Co., had been shot by
police officer Ed. Smith. Upon inves-
LEGATION we found the report correct,
but nc serious results.
A WORLD reporter called on Mr..
Matthaei at his place of business last
night, and in answer 50 the reporters
inquiry as to how it happened, re-.
Piled
Z" Chas. Young and myself had
made arrangements to go sleighino
during the afternoon. Young wanted
to know about what time would be
ready. told him | would come
around about 4.30 o'clock, in the after
noon. At tho time set went to the
Mayors Office and inquired Of Serg't
Wilen, who was then in the front office
with several persons, as to where
Young was. Mr.. Wilen answered that
he was in the rear rooms somewhere.
then walked back and looked in one
Of the rooms, but did not find Young.
Turning round to 20 back saw
Young coming toward me from the
tool room, and telling me to go into
the Office. ] then asked Young in a
joking way who he had in the room.
Young answered me evaslveiy
and ! walked up to the door, with
Young calling to me to come back into
the Office.
1T threw open the door, and there
sat Officer Smith, with his revolver in
his right hand and resting on his left
arm. | had not opened the door ten
seconds before Smith threw up his re-
volver and fred at me, the bullet going
through my hat and blowing furrow
through my hair. If it had struck
an inch lower it would have en-
tered my forehead"
Mr.. G.. A. Youngi is generally known
in our community for his uprightness
and efficiency as city clerk, and is a
strong companion to Mr.. Matthaei.
His Office being in the city hall &C
counts for Mr.. Matthaei's going there.
At the time Of the occurrence Smith
was very much under the influence Of
lwhiskey. Heretofore both parties have
been on the best Of terms; and when
Smith learned what he had done he
persisted in blowing out his own brains.
His revolver was taken from him, and
he was Immediately sent to his home
on John street.
1t will be remembered that this same
officer only short while ago assaulted
Councilman Berry. AT meeting Of
the Council Smith apoloeized, and as a
punishment ~ he was suspended for
two weeks.
This time he came near killing one
of our best citizens, and we suppose
he will again appear before the Coun-
ell and apologize to Mr.. Matthaei,
whereupon the Council will pass a res
olution of thanks to him for not killing
the man, with the understanding that
if he kills the next victim outright
they will present him with q gold
medal.

Reception, Parade and Ball-Excep-
tionally Low Railroad Rates

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-The Exposition
has now been open about one-third OF
its ninth season and the attendance up
to date is by far the best on record.
Gilmore's magnificent band Of 100
pieces is giving four concerts dali,
and although there are 1900 seats in
the Music hall, a vacars seat during
any portion Of any one of the concerts
is,very UNUSUAL. Thegeneral features of
the Exposition are voted by visitors from
az parts of the country, as well as from
Europe, as remarkable both for their
beauty and costliness and also for the
great variety, so many attractions hay
ing been rarely collected together in
one building. The exhibits Of manu-
featured goods, OF electrical and me-
chanical triumphs and high class
works of art are all first class; and
any one department would provide a
first class Exposition.
The next illumination will be given
on Thursday, Sept. 90, when all the
electrical panorama and pyrotechnic
displays will be in full working order.
The carnival will be at its height
at the opening of October, for
on the afternoon of Oct. l the
Yelled Prophet will arrive by boat and
be received by strong military guard.
Heretofore the Yelled Prophet has ar
rived secretly and has not been seen

day is Tuesday, Oct. 4, when there will
be one of the largest crowds in st. Louis
ever collected in Western city. The
details of the parade are kept a secret,
but it is generally known that the
pageant will be much more costly this
year than ever before, and as over six
miles of streets will be illuminated on

attractions will be magnificent to de-
