said yesterday that the fugitive would not
be mistaken for priest in St Louis.

asked a reply would open up a brief con-
versation.
Well strangers would state. in con-
clUsion. .'St. Louis isn't any worse than
this city. our Aldermen do things that We
don't like and then defy the citizens We
have to admit tj:at St Louis is getting
ahead of us
Fortunate it was, too for Kelly that lie
wasn't on the train on which he was an
nouI:ced to so. 1t was detained four hours
ten miles east of Columbus, o.. owing TO the
derailing Of several freight cars. and reached
that city only two hours ahead of the limit
ed. which was two hours late, and barely
escaped being longer delayed from the same
CaUse.
Yesterday morning Kelly was not so hap

and shows in his features symptoms of
worry.
Il have no statement to make now he
said. You see. 1 haven't received a St.

ME cordially. As for other things. l have
nothing to say. l must wait and find out

Kelly was called away in few minutes,
but soon returned. and then repeated his
former statement.
Carroll came over. of course you know.

and spoke of the negotiations in England
over the patent rights of a street sprinkler
invented by a 81. Louis man. and. ulti-
ma te!y, of the meeting on the Celtic be-
tween Kelly and two friends of the Buffers.
The party had luncheon in the dining car
about , o'clock. At Etfingham several cor
respondents of st. Louis newspapers board
ed the train, and after that Kelly was kept
interested and amused. After Collinsvil!e

stateroom, and did not come out until the
train stopped in Union Station. Then Kelly
appeared in his silk hat and long, heavy
overcoat. buttoned high about his neck,
with Mrs. Kelly, dressed in mourning, lean
