A Young Lady Shot Dead by a Rejected Suiter, From the St. Louis Giobe- May 29. A young lady named Annie Geyer was shot by Philip Mathews, in a little grove just east of Belleville, about 4 o'clock yesterday atternoon. From the evidence at the inquest, which was held last evening, it appears that Mathews, with a number of other young men, membermpf the German Methodist Episcopal Sunday-school, had gone out to the grove to inspect the ar- Tangements that had been made for the annual eburch picnic that was to be held to-day. They had not been there a great while when Miss Geyer and three other young tadies arrived. Young Mathews had been paying his attentions to Miss Geyer for two years or more, and was for some time her accepted lover. Owing to the fact that he had contracted bad habits of late she had broken the engagement. As soon as she arrived on the picnic grounds and saw that he Was there she tried to avoid him, and sat down at some distance from where |e was in company with the girls who were with her. After a few moments young Mathews went over, and, taking her by the arm. compelled her to step aside with him and began talking to her. The others could Bot hear what was said, but presently they ard Miss Geyer scream, and saw that Mathews had drawn a revolver and was pointing it di- rectly at her heart. Before any of them could recover from the horror that had seized upon them, young Mathews threw the revolver down on the ground. Twe of the young metstarted to pick it up. but were prevented by Mathews, who again seized the weapon, and, turning upon the others, threatened to shoot them if they did not keep back. He immediately turned around and shot Miss Geyer through the right breast. She fell te the ground and expired in a few minutes. The marderer, after firing the fa‘al shot, turned on his heel'and, with cocked revolver in his hand, walked into town and gave hi:xself up to the police. The occurrence caused sreat deal of excitem: ‘¢, and was a member of the German Methodist be gpa church choir.

He still maintained a branch house in St. Louis, and his family have kept up intimate relations with friends here. Miss Zoe Watkins and her elder sister, Lilly Watkins, arrived in the city May 13. They were on’ their way to New Orleans on a pleasure trip, but stopped here for a few days to visit the family of Mr. vames Martin, city weigher. A party was a? ranged in honor of the two young ladies for the 18th.

From the New York Times, Old Commodore Vanderbilt used to ride over his roads in a car that he considered pretty fine and becoming his station as railroad king. That car is now owned by the Wagner Car Co., and leaves the Grand Central depot in this city at 3:55 o'clock every afternoon for Chicago. It bears the name Iroquois, and any one may ride in it who pays his passage. In these times it Is looked upon asa rather plain car, and none too good for even common travel. Since the days when the old commodore was whirled over the rails and gave his engineers ten-dollar gold pieces when they made unusually fast runs great improvements have been made in car architecture. People not worth a thousandth part what the commodore was ride in better cars every time they take a trip than the old railroad king did. It costs from $15,000 to $20,000 to build a palace car nowadays, accord- ing to the style in which it is finished, and it is safe to say that the commodore’s car cost scarcely more than half the firat sum. Cars are now built so that the owner of one, if he were so Inclined, could live on the rail from one end of the year to the other. The accommodations, to be sure, are more limited than in the average home built upon the solid earth, but the cars are so constructed that comforts are afforded which one would hardly expect to find in such m T space. Three cars have just been buiit by the Pullman palace car company which are, indeed, palaces on wheels. One was constructed for Hugh J. Jewett, the president of the Erie railway; another for Henry Villard, the president of the Oregon rail- way and navigation company, and the third for T. W. Peirce, the president of the Sunset route in Texas. These cars form houses in miniature. At the forward end of each car isa kitchen; back of thisa parlor, which serves as a dining Toom; adjoining a bed room, with bath room at- tached, and at the rear end a smoking room and observatory. Berths are also supplied in differ- ent parts of the cars, and electric bells conmect with the kitchen and servants’ quarters. The cars are handsome in the extreme. That of Mr. Jewett, the Ramapo, may be taken as an ex- ample. It is heavily inlaid with costly woods and magnificently upholstered. These cars cost about $20,000 each. The car of Mr. Willlam H. Vanderbilt is one of the largest inthe country. It is 74 feet in length, 9 feet 10 inches wide, and 14 feet 6 inches high. it is divided into four main apartments. Atthe front is the kitchen, and back of it Mr. Vander- bilt’s state-room. The sitting and dining room and the card-room follow. At the extreme rear is the observatory, with inclosed sides and open back. The car is elegantly fitted up, and is pro- vided with electric bells and other conveniences. There are four views on the sides of the car rep- resenting the Grand Centra! Depot, the tmprove- ments at 110th street and Fourth avenue, in this city, Niagara Falls, and the West Albany bridge of the Central Railroad. His car could not be duplicated for less than $18,000 or $20,000. When Mr. Vanderbilt makes a trip he has a special engine, and all other trains must keep out of the way. He travels as fast as it is pos- sible for engines to draw him, and a time-table ig made up at least twelve hours and sometimes two days before he starts, and is telegraphed along the line. Jay Gould’s private car, the Convoy, No. 143, of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, is the same one that Com- modore Garrison used. It is very largg, andhas accommodations for 12. It is finished in black walnut, and, while not strikingly beautiful, is very comfortable. The car of George B. Rob- erts, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, is supplied with state-room, sleeping room, kitchen, and other apartments. A. J. Cassatt, the vice president, and Frank Thomson, the general pianagy , have cars of similar construc- tion. John W. Garrett, the president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has a car for his exclusive use—the Maryland—and Robert Gar- rett, his son, the third vice president, another— the Baltimore. The president of nearly every road of consequence in the country has a car of his own of more or less ele- gance, but none can compare with those mentioned. The Queen of England does not ride in such magnificence as the railway magnates of America. In fact, all who are able to pay their way can ride on any road of importance in procter style than Victoria, for it is well known that foreign cars will not bear comparison with American ones. The working officers of railroads in the west live in cars for a week or more at atime. It is not for luxury, but is a matter of necessity. The distances are long, the eating places are few and far between, and there is business to be transacted at widely different points. Some railroad systems com- Be 2,500 or 3,000 miles of road, and, as may seen, it takes some time to go over them. Almost all roads have directors’ cars, which are used by the directors once a year in making an inspection of theirroads. The remainder of the time the superintendents or other officers use the cars. Directors of western roads living in the east have the directors’ cars sent on to them and take them to the annual meetings and bring them back. Others besides railroad officers ride in special cars. The Pullman Palace car company has, besides its coaches in regular service, one car especially intended for the use of families or private parties. This car is a house on wheels, and is similar in construction to the Ramapo. It bears no inscription saye the monogram “P. P. C.” It has accommodations for ten persons, and is complete in every respect. The main saloon is farnished like a parlor, and is supplied with anorgan. The Pullman company charges $85 a day for the use of this car, which includes the services of a conductor, a cook and two waiters. Besides this, the reon hiring the car, or, in fact, any car, must buy eighteen full tickets of the railroad line over which the car passes for hauling it. The car is usually attached to a reese train, and if a special engine is secured, which is rarely the case, the expense is greatl; increased. Provisions and liquors are suppli by the Pullman company at cost, or the person to whom the car islet may stock it himself. Pips pregipede pseaslech pager uur indrm pln cluding a conductor and a porter, and hotel cars at $7 a day, including a conductor, cook eu two waiters. The Pullman company also has two hunting and fishing cars. One is named the Davy Crockett and the other the Izaak Walton. The charge for these cars is €35 a day, which includes @ cook and waiter foreach. The cars are pio- vided with kennels for dogs, and are in every way adapted for the use to which they are put. They are somewhat smaller than the ordinary cars, but are plenty large enough for hunting and fishing parties of eight or ten. These cara are in steedy demand during the eg reg son. Mr. Jerome Marble, of Worcester, Mass., built a hunting car for his own use and to let. His venture proved so successful that he has col two more. His charges are about the same as those of the Pullman company. Noblemen coming to America frequently hire a ‘ial car to make a trip across the continent. he Grand Duke Alexis, the Duke of Sutherland and the Baron de Streuve, the Russian ambasea- dor, are among those who have made trips in American special cars. Dom Pedro made his tourin a Pullman hotel car. The Brazilian em- peror marveled at the magnificence of the hotel cars which are now attached to through trains on all the great lines. It is 8 common thing to see a special car on the rail, Rich Americans ride this way in making long journeys, and people do not wonder at it here half as much as they would across the | water.

Two years , after the Town Clerk had fallen asleep with his feet against the stove and slept along until the sole of his right boot was burnt through, old man Steen had a railing ran around the stoye, on which the cronies could rest their feet and tilt their chairs back against the bar or the wall. And so they were warm- ing themselves the other night—for though it was late in May the air was so chilly that the host still kept up a fire in the bar-room. When the clock struck 8.30 he let his chair down easily, got up slowly and drew down the shade on which were, represented in varied colors a mountain, a meadow and a deer with such contempt for the laws of perspective that the deer in the meadow seemed about to pane one of his fore-feet dn the summit mountain. After tig the host went behind the bar and began mixing atoddy. pets Lg iete an a sald pane Lakes ir pretty lively since they passed the no- license law. Hadn’t yer beer lock up?” “Guess not,” said the old man, “if any of ’em comes I'll say I contracted for to supply yers with liquor for two years afore they voted the law, an’ they can’t enforce a law agin me.as will interfere with the obligations of a prior contract.” . “Gosh, Steen! Yer oyght to ha’ been a jaw- er,” said the Squire as he took the toddy and Randed it on after’a sip'or two. When it had gone around the circle the host finished it off and then took his seat again. Fora few min- utes the silence Was broken only by the ticking of the clock and the snoring of the Town Clerk, who had his feet on the ang, his chair tilted back against the wall and his slouch hat drawn over his eyes. Then the Squire looked up at the colored tissue paper trimmi that hung from the ceiling and glowed 1n the soft light from the stove and said: “I kind o'thought Sol. Russell, from Shawan- gunk, would be in to-night.” “Did he say he would?” asked the road- master. ‘‘’Causeif he said he'd be here to- night I guess we wont see him till about forty- eight hours from now.” “Well, I reckon yer right,” said the Squire. “T don’t know as he is punctual.” “Yer ” continued the road-master, it’s this way.

The road-master had put the firet question that the stranger might put the second.
