BRUBHLE THREATENS SUICIDE.
He Advanced $4O0 TO Furnish the
CITY Hall and Can't Get ft Back.

Mayor Hoos this morning received
letter from Carl Bruehle of New York
asking that he do something to compel
the ST Louis Art Metal Company, which
concern furnished the new City Hall, to
pay him $400.
When the company was awarded the
contract for furnishing the Hall its man
ayers discovered that an error had been
made in the estimate.
The company agreed to abide by its con-
tract, and in short time it became em-
barrassed financially. Bruehle was the
boss of the company's carpenters. Work
was about to be stopped when Bruehle
came forward and advanced $40O, which
sum represented his whole savings, to
pay the other carpenters. Since that
time Bruehle has made many unsuccess-
ful efforts to collect his money.
The company has stood him off from
time to time The City Hall Commits
sioners have been unable to do anything
for him There Is still some money due
the concern, and Mayor Hoos has COM
municated with the company's represen-
tative asking that settlement with
Bruehle be made.
The Mayor will also ask. the City Hall
Commissioners to try to force the COM
pany to pay Bruehle
Bruehle is German and the refusal of
the company to pay has so preyed upon
his mind that he threatens to commit
suicide If he is not paid shortly. Mayor
Hoos is afraid he will carry his threat
into execution.

Crops Cannot BE Cut.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8. 1s97.-A spe-
cial to the Associated Press from Helena,
Ark, says 81
The pearl hunting industry which has
been exciting the whole country is spread
ing all over this end of the State. The
st. Francis River from the mouth of the
river to Jeffersonville is lined with white
people and negroes, all engaged in un-
earthing and prying open the richly laden
muscle shells. One young man brought
small bottle of pearls to Helena today,
taken from Phillips Bayou, tributary OF
the St. Francis.
They are darker in color than the ordi-
nary pearl of commerce but are hand
somer shaped and of good size. All of the
chain of lakes in the hitherto impene-
trable st. Francis River bottoms are fun
of these pearl bearing mussels and If they
should truly prove to be valuable the
whole country presently will be engaged
in the business to the detriment OF crop
gathering.
One planter told the Associated Press
correspondent yesterday that he expected
to have difficulty in securing hands 70
