Strange Case of Frank Ritter, n st. Louis
Saloon Keeper.

Frank Ritter, one of the oldest and best
known saloon keepers in st. Louis, is
turning to chalk, and science confesses
itself powerless to stop it.
Within five years eight chalky pieces
have successfully been cut off his left leg.
Now the right foot and part of the right
leg are affected. Both his hands are SO
affected that their usefulness is nearly
past. Dr. Elisha Gregory calls the disease
Qualification. He pronounces Ritter's case
the most perfect type of govt known.
Any day from 10 IA. IN. to p. m. Ritter
may he seen in large armchair near q
window. He makes no complaint. He
says that he is glad that he can enjoy the
rarest of all privileges-that of living and
having jovial friendships. MANY are
dead" he remarks, "while / am only half
dead
Some time ago a friend told him Of q
new discovery in Berlin, called poperazine,
which will dissolve chalky substances in
the human body. 1t costs 50 an ounce.
Ritter is now trying it, though he has lit
tie faith in it.

man Factions
Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., November 1.-THE
annual meeting of the stockholders Of
the Raleigh and CASTOR railway here
today was interesting. President Hon-
man, Vice President ST John and other
officials were present and Mr.. Hatton
presided. w. w. Fuller, of New York,
was elected a director, vice w. r.
Tucker, who vas recently made a di-
rector of the Seaboard and Roanoke.
The other directors were reelected.
John H. Winder and MI. Hutchinson,
Of New York, represented the Ryan
interest and there was a rather lively
spat between Hutchinson and General
Council Watts. Winder and Hutchin-
son objected to any officer Of the road
voting his individual stock or any
proxies, but every time a poll of the
stock was taken they were voted.
They demanded under section II Of the
charter a report on nance and asked
the questions under that section. What
they term a supplementary report was
made showing that the Raleigh and
CASTOR had bought 1900 shares OF Sea-
board and Roanoke stock from dissatis-
fed members Of the "pool' to keep the
latter from breaking the pool and that
his was the stock the voting of which
Ryan enjoined. They claim that this
puts the Raleigh and CASTOR in the at
titude Of holding a large block of
stock in the corporation which controls
it. They say that the officials stated
that the proceeds of the sale Of $780,
900 Of Raleigh and CASTOR bonds were
used to pay debts, but they contend
they were used to buy the above men,
toned shares Of stock.
The directors reelected the old Of
GERS.
The old officers of the Raleigh and
Augusta and the Palmetto railways
were also reelected.
