STREET PAVING COMPLAINTS. A Woodbine Woman ChArgcd With IlclriK Too Frnll The Cltj-'n New Uulldlnge-Thc Fighting Chaplain. The Killing of Ilobert * . The testimony in the Jones case drew , o n u end hist evening. The defendant nut three times been convicted for the tilling of Roberts , but the evidence this , imo has been a little stronger in his behalf , the main fight being on the { ucstion as to whether ho was insane at the time of the homicide. There baa jecn less evidence introduced concerti ng the family being broken t ) . Jones' ( on , who has been a witness before , and md by whom it has been proved that Roberts made some remarks rather dis paraging to the the reputation of Mrs. Tones , was not present at the trial. On Jio part of the prosecution it has been claimed strongly that Jones believed ; hat Roberts was largely responsible for the breaking up of Jones' household , uid that the remarks made by [ { obertH in young Jones' hearing confirmed thisbelief. . On the part of Lho prosecution is made the claim that Tones did not provide for his fiun- ly , that he misused his wife , md she wns obliged to leave him. It ins been further claimed that young Tones , who was but nine yearn of ago at ihe time of the homicide , waseompollcd : o testify concerning the remarks made l > y Roberts , and that in his later years lie did not dare go back on these state ments. The defense wanted him for a witness , as usual , but claimed not to bo iblo to procure his attendance. His .estimony , as given on the previous .rial , was allowed to bo read to the jury. The prosecution yesterday afternoon endeavored to prove by witnesses that young Jones had said recently that ho , vus ashamed of himself for telling such , hings about his dead mother , and that , ho reason ho had done so before was .hut ho was compelled to do so. This testimony was ruled out on a technical objection , so that it did not got before -ho jury save in the form of an nforenco ns to what the prosc- , ion could prove , if only allowed to lo so. Last evening Sheriff Reel , who is a H'other of Mrs. Jones , testified ns to the reatmont she had received utthe hands of Jones. Mrs. Jones went insane and vas in the asylum for some time after ho homicide , and afterwards died at the ionic of Mr. Reel. The trial has been an interesting one , lospito the fact that much of the uvi- lence has been rehearsed time and time iguin. Colonel Daily and Mr. Mynstor or the prosecution liavo pushed the , claims of the state with vigor , and Colonel Scott , for the defense , has con- csted every point sharply , and on be- lalf of the defendant has brought out some strong testimony , especially from he exports called upon to give their ipinions as to his insanity , both now and it the time of the homicide.

JudgOjJames claims that the inspector is there to see that the work Is done properly , and if it is overlooked it is not the fault of the contractors. Ho went down to the Northwestern depot yesterday morning and repeated his orders in regard to culling the posts moro closely , and the result is a much better grade of blocks. Mr. Keller is elo.soly watching the work , and has notified the pavers that nothing but first-class work will bo tolerated. One man was summarily "bounced" for dis regarding orders , and the others are now doing very good work. The gravel now being used is brought from Dos Moines , and is of the best quality. Close inspection by Mr. Keller is as sured and there seems to bo no reason why the work should not give satisfac tion when completed. The present lot of posts is about all sawed and it is hoped that the next lot will bo consid erably better.

The culmination of ono of the most startling affairs that St. Joseph's upper social crust bos ever known has just been reached , and is the talk ot the city. A , 'ear and a half ago a handsome , well- dressed slrangor about thirty-fivo years of ago , with the appearance and man- icrs of a polished gentleman and , to all ippearances , the pocket-book of a mil- ionalro , landed in the city , hailing from Texas. Ho represented himself as 1 cattle king , and had maps upon which lie pointed out the exact location and extonl of his ranches. He named the Texas counties , described his ranches tninulely , lolling Iho number of head of calllo in each and Iho number of cow boys ho employed. No ono doubted him , for an expert alone could have counterfeited with such exactness the role of a catllo king and made it pass in this city , whoso citizens own moro head of cattle and more acres of western ground than any city of its size in the world. The man gave his name as Henry W. Meyers. Ho gave opera parties , wine suppers , etc. , and was an nonored guest in the mansions of St. Joseph's first families , sought after by the ladies as an excellent catch , and by the men who were proud to call him their friend. Movers was in the .city over six months , and while hero expended at least $2 , ' > 00 in social pleasure. Ho mot among other charming young Indies of this city ono who was tlio belle of the circle in which she moved handsome , accomplished , and possessing all the graces Unit are said to give perfection to the female character. He fell des perately in love with her and she with him. As a result , they wore engaged , and in a month , married. After living with his young wife two weeks Meyers suddenly disappeared , and has not been seen in the city since. lie was mourned as dead , and it wus supposed seine one had murdered him and robbed him for the immense sums of money ho was popularly supposed to carry on his per son. The wife was distracted , and the local press at the time contained de scriptions of the man and the oilers of largo towards for the discovery of his body. The relatives of the wife , after the first burst of excitement was over , wont to Texas in search of this man's prop erty , thinking some clue could bo dis covered there. They did not succeed in this , but did learn that no such man had ever owned a foot of ground or a single hoof in Texas. A little further invosligation revealed Iho fact that Meyer was beyond question a consum mate scoundrel and an adventurer of the first water. They returned homo with their news , but kept it sacredly within the bosom of the injured family. No one over suspected the truth , and the poor wife with her double grief was remarked by the outside world for the love she must have borne for her sup posed dead huaband. The final chapter * in the affair was given to the public yesterday , and to-day is publie property upon the streets of this city. The present week a number of prominent St. Joseph people altendcd the Kansas City festivities , and when returning from the Priests of Pallas ball Thursday night , two of them thought they recognized Iho cab-driver. The facl that his face was familiar was noticed by several others of the St. Joseph party , and suddenly it dawned upon them that ho was none other than Mayors. lur the I'rcHlilont. Atlanta Constitution : Howard Hor- lon , Iho fal , greasy , black negro whoso voice bos echoed and re-echoed through ii i. the Fourth ward fn mnnv a political campaign , stood in front o'f the Klmbull last night , Haying : "Ilero'B one 'publican colored voter who Is patiently waitin' for President Cleveland , sure.

San Francisco special to the Globc- Domocrai : A mystery of the sea has boon revealed by the finding on Iho beach at Half-moon Bay , a few miles south of Golden Gate , a largo abolono shell bearing in mother of pearl a per fect impression of a baby shoe. The story , though stranger than fiction , is verified by such a mass of evidence that its truth cannot bo doubted. Twenty- six y ars ago a little girl wandered from its homo on the shore of Half- moon Bay and was not seen again until four days afterwards , when its dead body was cast up by the waves which break over the adjacent reef. The child was supposed to have fallen from a rock. Ono of its feet was gone , but this was ascribed to the voracity of a shark , or other fiosh-eatiiig sea monster. Years passed by and the event was almost forgotten. Recently ono of the sons of the old lady , and mother of the lost girl , picked up on the beach a piece of a large abel ono shell which had been thrown up by the tide. Ho was astonished to find in side the shell a perfect representation of a child's shoe , oven to the little break in the too where the leather bad worn awav. Every detail was reproduced in brilliant colors which are characteristic of the interior of abelono shells. The young man carried the shell home as a curiosity. The first person to whom he showed it wns his mother. No sooner did the old lady see it than she exclaimed : "It is my baby's shoo , the shoo of my litllo girl that was lost twenty-six years ago. " The rest of the family riuiculi'd the idea , but she produced the mate to the shoe. A careful comparison showed that the time incrusted shoo in the shell and the memento of the dead child carefully kept by the mother through the years that she had mourned her little ono , were un doubtedly mates. The mystery of the child's dealh was revealed at last. Any one who knows the nature and habits of theabelonecan readily understand what occurred. The lillle ono had vonlured out on the rocky oof , had slipped from the rocks , anil : ier foot had caught between the rock mil the edge of a huge abolono shell. At once it closed on the ankle , and the ittlo ono was a prisoner , to be held until the rising tide swept over her. Such ases are not unknown. A few years ago a Chinese was fre quently seen in San Diego whose right liand , with the exception of the thumb md forefinger , was gone. The story Lold by his mates was that while hunt ing abelono ho incautiously inserted his ' fingers under the sharp' edge of an abelono shell. Before ho could with draw thorn the shell closed down. Ho lay on the rock , held by the hand till Iho lido began to come. Seeing his ilangor and realizing that ho had only himself to depend upon for aid , he man- iiged to got out his knife with his left hand , and by dint of hard work hacked off the imprisoned fingers and released iiimsolf. The abclonc is a large uni valve , the dried meat of which is ex ported in large quantities from this city lo China. English sportsmen are scandalised by Iho performances of some sboolcrs in .wing Forest who have maimed deer ana lot them go , and who shoot young deer as often as they do bucks of proper ago. Three young deer and Iwo bucks are alleged lo have been shot in one day , and ono young deer was found wilh ono of its hind legs shattered by shol so Unit the bone and sinews hung to the limb simply by shreds of skin.
