OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
posed Extension OF the City Limits-
The Chinese and tho Camern.

4 Summer Garden in the Air--Pro-
posed Extension OF the City Limits
The Chinese and tho Camera.
ST. LOUIS, June %. The highest
summer garden in the world will be
ready for the people by the beginning
of next summer on the top of bust
ness buildings now going up on Olive
street. The building win be fifteen
stories high, and the garden will be on
top of that. At present, it is intended
that the garden shall be simply for
people to sit in and look out over the
city. but it is quite possible that the
idea will be elaborated, and a theatre
constructed ON the lofty platform.
The building associations of st. LouiS
have increased so rapidly that it has
been almost impossible TO keep count
of them in the last year. Well in
formed people put the number Of them
now in the city at three hundred or
more. Their officers held o meeting
the other night, acting as u State as
socatiOn, and decided to ask the legisla
turc to create the Office Of State ex-
amincr of building associations. The
petition will doubtless be granted. An
officer of this sort would protect associa-
lions from Islander, and the stockhold-
,crs from fraud. gig. 80.
The Chinese of st, Louis are just be-
ginning to understand that they must
all be photographed by the collector OF
internal revenue before May of next
year. and they are much disturbed
about it. This is in accordance with
the exclusion act, passed by Congress
last year. That provides FOR the photo
graphing Of every Chinaman in the
country within year from the passage
Of the act, May ;, 1892 The Chinese
aGominatc photography rs they do
newspapers and they will make every
effort to cyadc tho laws. There are
only 800 Chinese III ST. Louis, accord
ing to the census. but more than half
Of these arc never seen on the streets.
The proposition made by Street Com
missioner Murphy Of St. Louis, to in
crease the city's revenue by extending
its lines so as to take in great part OF
st. Louis county will, of course, meet
with much opposition, but it is gener-
ally regarded as remarkable one.
nevertheless. The commissioner plan
will double the area of st. Louis and
add half million dollars to its reve-
nue., but the opponents Of the scheme
say that the county would demand
more than half million dollars worth
of improvements as soon as brought
into the city. Yet, everybody comedies
that something must be done to pro-
vide for the legitimate extension Of
the city Us it grows beyond the provis-
ions of the charter made fourteen
years ago, and tho commissioners plan
is the first attempt that has yet been
made by anybody TO grapple with the
question. If Major Murphy's annex
alton boom succeeds the city will have
about 100000 people by the next cen
sus, as the new territory is thickly
populated.

"Well, don't you know that if Mr..

Reports from Mr.. Tricks residence
this morning are to the effect that he
passed restful night despite the
closencss of the atmosphere. His
wounds gave him apparently little
trouble yesterday, while mentally he
was bright and active. His wounds
were examined and dressed this
morning, but there is not the slight
est trace of blood poisoning and
the results of the examination were
decidedly encouraging both to his sur
geons and their patient The surgeons
say that it will not be possible for him
to leave his bed even to walk about
the room for II month or six weeks at
the least.

1t is scarcely possible to credit ones

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
Jno. ST. Germaine Attempts to Avoid
Arrest and is Killed,

CHADRoN, Neb., July 23.-John st.
Germaine was shot and instantly killed
by John King, a farmer, six miles
south oil here yesterday. st. Germaine
was young man and had only been
married a few months. Shortly after
his marriage an old fame OF his wife's,
named McDougal. appeared on the
scene. His attentions to the woman
aroused her husbands jealousy and no
tainted her with her former INSIDE
meanors. This state OF affairs lasted
but q short time when separation re-
suited, the woman going to her broth
er's to live.
st. Germaine, meeting McDougal
this morning, beat him to insensibility
with club aud thinking him dead
started to leave the country on horse
back. At this juncture King and Sem
ator Wallace Wilson, who had been
called on for help by King, came up
armed with warrant for st. Ger
maines arrest for the assault on Nc
Dougal. King started to make the
arrest when St. Germaine tried to
draw weapon, whereupon King shot
him, the bullet entering his heart and
producing instant death. The sheriff
and coroner were sent for and King
was met just outside OF Chadron on
his way TO surrender himself to the
authorities. Public sentiment seems
to be with King, everything going to
show that he acted in self-defense,
well knowing st. Gormaine to be a
desperate man who thought he had
himself just committed murder.

4oLERA's Dread RAvAoEs.
The Scourge Victims Numbered by
Thousands.


LONDON, July 90 The Times St.
Petersburg correspondent says; of
cial cholera returns for the period from
July Il to July 81 give the number OF
cases in Russia as !, $40 and the num-
Der of deaths as $50. There were
thirty-tive cases in Nijni.Novgorod on
Saturday"
The Moscow Gazette reports four
deaths from cholera in that city, but
no official reports make mention of
them.
The doctors of st. Petersburg are
daily expecting cholera to appear
there.
The mortality from the plague is
diminishing on the lower Nolga, but
north of Tsaritzin is spreading rapidly
in towns and villages.
Private advices from Russia state
that cholera has broken out at Tagor-
nollO and that there have been three
deaths from the disease at KiStSch.
In Nijni-Novgorod cholera is con-
fined to few travellers from the in.
fectcd districts.
a sanitary commission has been APP
pointed in Poscn, Germany, supervised
by military surgeons The report of
an outbreak Of cholera at JablonOvo,
on the Polish frontier is denied
The French ministry of education
has issued circular to the public Civ.
ing instructions how 10 diagnose chol,
era and what immediate treatment to
adopt The government will accept
the services Of every available physi,
clan. The prisons are being thorough
ly inspected,
The outbreak Of cholera in the sub
urbs Of Paris continues to diminish.
Only two deaths were reported ycster-
day. Dr. Boyland, formerly IL pro-
fessor in n Baltimore medical college,
who has had considerable experience
with cholera cpidcmics, declares that
there is no real Asiatic cholera in
Paris. lie says the disease prevalent
is merely cholerinc, arising from the
use of impure water from the river.
Throughout Europe the march of
the cholera is cngrossing attention to
the exclusion of almost all other mat
tiers There is little hope of staying
the epidemic in Russia and the only
chance for preventing continental
visitation, lies in the fine sanitary ar
engagements of Germany, Austria and
France. Russian regulations sound
well on paper, Tut are more honored
in the breach thar in the observance.

Marked Quiet at Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July rs. "A lull to-
day of the most pronounced kind
opened the week at Homestead.
Strikers and soldiers seemed to have
fully settled down to the conclusion
that q long, tedious siege was before
them and that there was nothing to do
but wait The departure of major
ity of the musicians helped to give
the camp dull air and the work
men for the greater part remained
away from headquarters and devoted
their attention to homework. Among
the few to be found in public places
there were practically only two topics,
the punishment of Private Iams and
the expected return of Hugh 0'Don-
nell. Generally any demonstration
when 0'Donnell arrived was depra-
Gated, though few intimated that a
well-arranged spontaneous display"
of their feelings was not altogether
improbable. The chances for coll
lision with the troops were, however,
almost il not quite at zero.

Tried TO Buy Green Goods.

OMAHA, Neb., July pa deputy
United States marshal came in today
with Edwin L. Ballinger of Juniata,
whose case will prove of national inter-

charge. Ballinger is charged with
attempting to procure unlawful coun-
terfeit money 1t is the old time
green goods story. Ballinger some
months ago received green goods
circular from Now YORK.. He saw a
chance to become wealthy, visited the
metropolis and had the same expert
ence as hundreds before him. Balm
ger was out Of pocket something over
a thousand and was sore. Instead OF
keeping quiet he wrote to the chief Of
the secret service division of the treas
ury department, who put the case in
the hands Of District Attorney Beu
S. Baker, recommending Ballinger's
arrest, Lawyers here hardly think
he will be convicted.
