MISS0URrS FINE FRUIT CROP.
Great Yield of Berries and Good
Outlook for Apples.

Two hundred cars of berries have been
shipped out OF Southwest Missouri this
summer. according TO the statement OF G.
A. Atwood. editor of the Southwest. a fruit
paper. published at Springfield. The berries
have brought at least . cents more q crate
than they did last year
Mr.. Atwood. This IS a good showing. Last
year the crop was not SO plentiful. ThiS
year the apples promise to be much oettsH
both In taste and size. As an estimate p
the number of barrels which win be NO
duced in Southwest Missouri this year, 1
think 10000 will not be too heavy Besides
this. Arkansas will Go fully as well II NOT
heftsr There are many orchards all over
that country which will bear this year for
the first time"

Permanent HOME FOR
THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
WILL OCCUPY COMMODIOUS
QUARTERS.
Negotiations Completed for the
Lease of the New Stifel Build
ing on Fourth Street.

At meeting of the Board of Directors
OF the 81. Louis Stock Exchange yesterday
afternoon arrangements were made for q
permanent home for the exchange in a
new building. which Will be called the
Stock Exchange building. and which will
be one OF the most imposing structures IN
the eastern part of the city.
The building is In course of erection By
the Stifel estate on the east side OF Fourth
street. between Olive and Locust streets.
The top floor will be fitted up exclusively
for the use of the Stock Exchange.
All the furniture and fittings will be %
the latest and most approved patterns. and
the new quarters of the Stock Exchange
will be among the finest In the West.
Contracts were signed yesterday. and the
exchange expects to be in its new homo
by November l.
A movement was on foot to have the
Stock Exchange erect its own building, but
the inducements offered by the Stifel es-
tate were so favorable that the original
idea was abandoned. and by a unanimous
vote the Board of Directors decided to ac-
cept the offer of the Stifel estate.
The st. Louis Stock Exchange was or
ganized only a little over a year ago. but
has been remarkably successful from the
start. and is now one Of the most prosper
Gus institutions OF the kind in the coun-
try. It first occupied quarters In the old
Bank of the Republic building, which was
renamed the ST. Louis Stock Exchange. but
al the expiration OF the lease on that build
ing a short time ago temporary quarters
were secured in the Continental Bank
building.

Latest Trouble of the Murtha Family
In Court of Chancerv.

The mortal troubles of the Murtha FAM
lily were aired again in the Court of Chan
Gerry this morning. Mrs. Mary Murtha is
suing her husband. Thomas Murtha, for
divorce. on the ground of extreme cruelty.
Among other things she alleges that he
beat her so severely that her leg was
broken and she had to go to the hospital.
Her counsel, James Manning, applied to
Vice Chancellor Stevens this morning foE
an order directing her husband to pay her
counsel fee and alimony. Mr.. Midlige OPP
posed the motion and said that the par
ties to the suit had tried to agree upon
the question of alimony but could not.
They went before Father Boylan of St.
Lucy's Church, but he could not persuade
them to agree. Murtha proposedsto pay
his wife S12 a month alimony and the ar
rearages due on an order made by po-
lice justice directing him to paysher 81 a
week for her support. This was to be
paid on condition that his wife consent to
hiss drawing from the bank one-half of
81 ,002 which is deposited in the banksin
their joint name. This Mrs. Murtha re-
pudiated and made a counter proposition
to the effect that her husband pay therex-
penses of her suit, the arrearages of the
order of the police justice, sum of mon
ey she had borrowed and counsel fee.
the matter was taken to the Court again.
The Vive Chancellor said that he want
ed more facts before he made an order.
and the case went over for a week.

That the State VIII Go Republican

A coterie of well-known politicians of
both political parties were gathered at
Mike Griffin's cafe, at PaHsade and Hobo

kinley's and Bryans chances of election
were discussed. A well-to-do business man
whose Office is located in New York, but
who lives on the Heights, offered to wager
a half barrel of beer against wine glass
full that Mckinley would carry New Jer-
sey by 1900 mapority.
He was willing he said to go higher on
the stakes that Mckinley would carry the
State by 10000 Naturally there were
plenty of would-be takers. He accepted
one bet, however, from a local Demo-
cratic politician under the first condition.
The same gentleman says he has bet
with Democrat in New York to the eff
feet that New York and New Jersey will
go Republican. The conditions are that
should both States fail to go Republican

KNIGHTS HEAR A SERMON
st. Bridget's Church Given
Over to Paulus Hook
Council.

Over fifteen hundred members of the
Knights of Columbus attended the solemn
vesper service last evening at St.
Bridget's Church, held under the auspices
of Paulus Hook Council No. AIS. The
spacious church was packed to overflow
ing. The local councils represented were:
Paulus Hook, Conception, Jersey City and
Hope. Councils from Newark, Elizabeth,
Kearney and Hoboken were represented
also. A chancel choir of fifty boys from
the Arlington Catholic Protectory fur
nished the music and they were assist
ed by full orchestra.
The sermon preached to the Knights
was a very interesting one 1t was de-
livered by the Rev. Father Doyle of New
York city. He told of the progress of the
Catholic Church in the United States
since its existence and especially in late
years.
He said that century ago there were
only forty priests in the United States,
and now at the present day there are
A,00o priests with a population of twelve
million Catholics. They have q foothold
in every city and town from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Canada to the
Gulf. He said the Catholic Church was a
friend to the people, giving as an instance
the interest Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
Ryan were taking in the coal strike in
Pennsylvania, which involves over eighty
Thousand men. 1t was mainly due to their
good work, he said, that there has been
no serious disturbances. He added that
the Catholic Church always afforded right
and justice and the conserving of law and
order.
