Gratis admitted after election that they had no

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Another Bridge Across the Mississippi
departure Of the Street Beggars-
Mara Mla.A.l. na.d.

departure Of the Street BeKgars-
More Electric Roads.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.-For years the
people Of North St Louis have Ind to
ride four or Ave miles before thoy could
get to tho Eads bridge, near the center
OF the city, and cross TO the Illinois
towns, East st. Louis and Madison,
where many of them were engaged in
business. Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of tho cost OF
q vehicle bridge in their part of town.
The engineers reported that one
couldn't be built for less than two or
three millions. The Merchants bridge
which spans the river between North
St. Louis and the other side, Is only n
railway bridge. The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directors OF
the Merchants company, and asked
what terms they could have highway
b,fflt niong the railway, quite IN en-,
gineering feat by the way. they
were told the company would do it for
| $3.50 900.
Well accept" said the North st.
Louis men.
Tho building OF this new bridge, for
1t Is one, practically, will result in mn
enormous increase in the business on
both sides Of the river.
Thousands OF people who came to
st. Louis during the last few weeks,
when the city was crowded, gave n
nickel or dime to the bcggars thoy
saw on the street corners. There were
oil sorts of beggars, blind, MANNED and
musical, and all Of them renpcd har
vest, but what must the visitors hay,
thought Of st. Louis?
"a never saw but one other place
where there were so many beggars,
said lady, standing with her escort
near the postoflice one night, land tina,
was In Rome. should think that st.
Louis would keep them in asylums."
To-day, one couldn' find one Of those
blind organ-grindcrs ifhc walked from
ono end of the city to the other. They
don't belong in St Louis. They don't
belong anywhere. Next week they
will be in Chicago or New York. They

try. 1t is regular profession with
them,. and they make good incomes
begging. Policemen can do nothing
but drive them away from their beats,
and they then appear at another cor
ncr In five minutes, and 90 on grinding.
Another electric railway, which
looks on the map like an octopus, is
projected in the city. and.thc men who
are trying to get the franchise promise
to have it built by the time the throng
ill the streets next fall, and clamor
for fast transportation over every
block they have to go. Every car line
In the city except one short piece out
West, will be run by electricity mex,
yenr, and II seems that they cover the
ground pretty well, but these hardy
projectors are willing to give heavy
bond TO get the road finished by DC
tober II the assembly will allow then
to begin spending tho 100000 II
will cost.

EARLY VOLUNTEERS.
A Row Was Frequently Of More Interos
To Them Than n Fire.

| To Them Than Fire.
The Eagle Fire Engine and Hose
Company says an old imo Pittsburg-
en- 'was tie fire. pittsburg company
ovof actually organized on tho
volunteer principle. This occurred
In the year 1894 There was great
time In the village whom tho Eagle
secured an engine Whom the wagons
which brought it from Philadelphia
arrived the town could hardly contain
itself. Everybody turned out to 500
the wonderful machine and scarcely
an ego winkod while John johnson,
the village mechanic put tho pieces
together The new engine was rude
In the extreme. 1t consisted OF n
plain box, which contained tho
mechanical work OF tho engine, and
was operated by first pouring water
into the pump by means OF buckets
and then forcing 1t out through tho
base Tho ire:plug was then un--
known.
Sometimes tho members OF tho
Eagle aasertodK 10 inculcate morality
i by means OF the shower bath. Whom
over falso alarm brought them out
they n>ariably repaired for practice
to Virgin alley md played upon n
house there called The Cro"'s Most
which possessed an unsavorj reputa-
ton and was ono OF tho earliest land
marks OF tho alley. In vain tho in.
mates would Cry from tho doors and
windows that there was no fro there.
Tho boys always replied that tho
placcrcodcd n washing anyhow, and
this method OF getting rid OF obJoc.
tionablcresldents was winked at by tho
authorities
Whom several companies had boon
organized an intense rivalry sprung
up between them. So bitter was tho
partisan spirit that lively pugilistlc
encounters sometimes took place and.
indeed. it Is said some OF tho good
church people OF that day took hand
In tho contests. Ono Sunday after
noon. while returning from fro tho
Fagle boys met the Allegheny com i.
pany ut the corner OF Market and Lib.
erty streots. Tho Eagle captain Or
dered his men to march quietly by
without any demonstration. The or
der was obcyed by all except one
bully, who tried TO provoke u quarrel.
The captain thereupon became en-
ragged and. crushing TO n neighboring
stable secured q pitchfork and made
for tho man who showed fight Tho
latter lodged tho weapon and ran.
From that day on ho never showed
REBEL on.
On another occasion when these
two companions wero returning from
n fire. side by side. each crew waited
for tho other TO start up row. ono OF
tho Allegheny men, n great big fol-
low. over six feet IN height who was
casting threatening glanccs ut tho
foo slipped and fell down. A little
Eagle man, tho smallest member OF
the company stopped over to the
PROSTATE giant. and. shaking his fist
at him said. There you might
have known ! would knock you down
for looking ut mo that way You!
responded tho big one. as no s,rug
glcd to his feet you knock me down!
Why you little runL you. | could cat
you for u quail on toast aud swallow
your engine for dessert Tho scene
was SO ludicrous that both companies
burst into fit OF laughter, There
was no fight that day"

The second part of the census OF Ireland,

great deal of reading which is anything but
pleasant To thosa who maintain that home
rule Is the only thing which can arrest the
steady falling OIL In the population OF Ireland
The volume offers n hundred strong argu-
ncnts. II is u startling fact that 3,4l64O
irish people have left their homes for the new
world In the last forty years. The whole
population of ireland Is only 4,704, 750-that
Is to say little more than half OF what II was
In years immediately preceding the great
famine. The emigration has been going on
steadily during the last decade. or the no.

1881 very nearly half million were between
