St. Louts, Dec. 21—The conference ot the leaders of the Populist party began at 11 o'olock this morning and for two hours there was a red-l ot exchange ot Opinions between the delegates. Nealy all the wrangling was due to & motion made by a delegate from Kansas that the h".brJoji Should l-<- exit utlve r*n<I that all Information be kept from tho press until such time os it suited the conference. Chairman T&ubeneck Anally despaired oi reaching a decision in regard to the mat ter and declared a recess until 2 p. m. A committee wan appointed on addresses which was instructed to take nothing from, nor odd nothing to, the Omaha platform. On reaescmbllng at 2 o’clock, the na tional committee, still lacking a quorum, met with the conferences It was decided that a call of states would be the best means of getting a quorum. This early developed the fact that the Omaha plat form would be indorsed. Manning of Ala bama retold the KoUMhUes contest and denounced Democrats for again wielding the whip and shackle of old-time slavery. Matters moved smoothly and cheering was plentiful as each state was called. After Georgia reported, the conference Adjourned until 7:30 p. m. The call was resumed on reassemb- llng. Illinois was, responded to by Mr. Taubeneck, who spoke hopefully of the future. Iowa brought Gen. Weaver. He had little to say of hla abate, but read a resolution to the effect that the Anoncimi Issues were the keynoto of the coming campaign. This precipitated a stormy wrangle, and It became plainer than ever that no plank in the Omaha platform whs to be Ignored. Ills contention was tor \ trinity of money—gold, sliver and paper— to be controlled In volume and value by the government alone. He Insisted that money was the winning issue and that the People's party, which was strong in principles and weak in toe* •fhould recognise that Issue and meet It. He was asked some troublesome ques* lions, but the resolution passed. A resolution waa present*! >1*nounclnx ta. Judgment against E. V. Dobbs. O. W. Howard and U W.

Tho cluimun announced that the commit tee hod nweived a letter from Com stock in relation to tho (cstlmoy given by Street yesterday. “Wo have considered the letter of Mr. Comstock," said the chairman, "and have com© to the conclusion that the 'mutter is not within our province. Therefore we cannot hear Mr. Corn- stock." Inspector Williams resumed the wit- nes. stand and was examined as to his financial condition. After a great deal of sparring, Mr. Goff obtained from him the statement that bo was worth $30,000 or $40,000, which did not in clude tho family residence on Tenth street Williams admitted having re- coivea four or five hundred dollars from Flelss and Hoey. This was paid in oash in various sums and was a volun tary offering on the >art of tho con tributors.

That was in 1678." “Did you over invest a dollar with him for tho purchase of stocks?” “No, sir." "Didn’t they know tha money was given you for corruption?” “No, sir; it was not.” “What had you dono to cause mm to be so friendly to you?” “Nothing.” "And you, a, police captain, accepted sums of $4(10 and $.">00 from a man in whoso hands you never placed a dollar for speculationsV” “He was friendly to me." “How did you look at that transac tion?" “Floiss offered mo tho monev and I took It.” "Didn’t you consider It indelicate?” "No, sir.

She Steps on a Burglar Trap and Gives Herself Unwelcome Publicity. A big etx-tted cat which belongs to Jackson ft Co., the furriers on Tremont street, set off their automatic burglar alarm la.t night and created no end of disturbance there. Pussy Is of a ehy and gentle dtspcltlon, awl has never courted publicity, and thn attention which her ac tions drpw to her last night has probably made her resolve never to go near a burg lar alarm again. Since tho day of her birth .he has never been outside of the store. In the daytime she sits about tn the store and shames the riob furs with tho gloss ‘ of her own sltln, and tn the night sho prowls about, upt •ta'rs and down. In a tireless search, for rodents, for sho Is a skillful rotter and takes great pride tn keeping the store free from these vermin. *' •. .. . It was this prowling lost- night which was the cause of all her publicity. After everybody had gone home and the store was dark she went her rounds without event, until at about 11 o’clock she hap pened to go down the cellar stairs. It she. had gone down. as she usually did, one step at a time, all wdtild have been well, but she probably thought she saw a rat, and, being In a hurry, jumped for some distance, alighting on 1 one of the bottom Btalrs. Never, never again will pussy do such a’ thing. The three bottom stops of tho stairs are arranged to set off the burglar alarm when any consid erable weight is placed upon them, and tho impetus of her Jump was sufficient to achieve tho result. In an Instant tho whole store was filled with, the blinding glare of the electric lights, turned on by the alarm, and the great gong over the door was clanging out its harsh warning. Tho first persons on the scene saw the store brilliantly lighted on the. Inside and a temporarily Insane cat tearing about from floor to counter, and from, counter to shelves. In a vain attempt to got away from the fierce glare and the hideous noise. People gathered like'magic. The theatres were just' out nnd . tho streets were more crowded thah at any time after 8 o’clock. C’-ar up as far as West street the noise of tho gong could be dis tinctly heard, and hll the policemen on duty anywhere In'Uio vicinity como rush ing toward the rftofe, followed by tho peo ple from the theatres and the omnipres ent crowd which Beems to spring out of the ground When anything happens at night. In a few moments more another gong was lizard and the patrol wagon came up Tremont street with the horses on the run and two more patrolmen hanging to the seats. Patrolman Burns of division 2 soqn had tho door opened, and the crowd prepared to boo a number of despeate men dragged forth. A dili gent search for .the burglars began and the store was ransacked from top to bot tom. but without result; and the police men were finally forced to come to the ‘oncluslon that "It was the cat.” Pa trolmen Burn* stopped the alarm and ♦.urned off the electric ll^ht, but he could not quiet poor. Pussy's nerves. > / When soen at tho store this morning the cat’s eyes were as big as saucers, and she had evidently not nearly recovered from her experience of last night. Al though she accepted all advances gra ciously, sho absolutely refused to say anything for publication, but her whole appearance signified her determination never more to trifle with an automatic burglar alarm.

The Hakes were fine, and were what ns known aa hom iny srfow, but in some places it banked up nearly an inch in depth; ana tne street® and sidewalks were given a ds- cjdediljr frosty appeoraace for several hours.’ filter /the snow" the wind in creased, and the iueVoury begun falling. Down it went, until at 4 o’clock yester day afternoon it wa® at 16. the lowewt known here in years, making; everybody "get a move on them,'’ as the saying goes, as it was too cold to. stop aud talk on rth* corners, or even to sauntpr on the streets. Few people went out of doom w*ho were not compelled to, and they -went in a hurry. Early yesterday morning wood tick ets began pouring into tile eergeant’a oflloa at the efty ball, where.the tickets are received, and the orders were filled as rapidly as poss.ble. T.iese orders were tor wood for 7jo poor peo ple, end are gaveo out by the aldermen to the poor In rthelr respective wards the ytar round, but yesterday tnc de mand for tickets waa unuauaJly great. So fur learned, however, there was no suffering,. and it is not believed ilaere will be any, as wood is given out to tho0> who ask for It as soon as the request Is -made. At both county and city Jall9 the prisoners were com fortable, as glowing fires were k«pt going all day <M*d night, and the pris oners are supplied with a sufficiency af blankets. The cold enao coAurht some few Demote out of coal and -wood whb ure able but had negTectefl to buy It—consequently here waa a heavy (htninfl on the coal and (Wood deadens. Many others, too, ncit knowing how lonjg the "spell" would iarft. guv* orders to ratfeninh their sumollee. The plumbers were in their glory, (as water-pipes had burn* till over the cSty. Every pLumiber In the city had mane orders than he could aiiaand to, end. many people were com pelled to out up -with leakhur tones aU day. ' . Perhaps the people who suffered mast from Ah# cold were the otrcat-car ma.ormen. Tthiey wore compelled lb K:and at posts and faco the cold, cuctung wind all day, and alchouah modi cf them were completely smoth ered with wraps and wufftfi OtdBhlng, nothing could shut out such keen wind.
