—Her Confession to Her Father
Inglehart's Sympathizing Friends.
St. Louis, Nov, 30 —At 5 o’clock oa
Tuesday evening ihe dooi of a to mo
wbat isolated brick building at 1,48
Singleton street opened and a man
walKed down the flight of tour stone
s'eps leading from tae vestibule to
tae sice walk.. He then stepped,
and. turning, waited until a woman
had eotiii d iwu the steps and Joined
him. The mao was seemingly in the
prim iof life, and was tall and was
wid dressed and had a very, h 'Hvy
reddish tnown mous ache. The wo
man was of beaut ful figure and me
dium height, but a blue V-il pinned
tightly ov r her face and a turban
ha. pre ven’ed any me from seeing her
f* a u es. Those woo -a v her during
the next I w exciting moments say
teat she wore a s< alskin saoque an 1
a black silk or sa'iu drees. Ou reach
ing the si tew ok the couple, who
rli-r.vanis proved to be Fmuk
Iglehatt and Mrs. K*'o Tevis, tfle
young wife ot R >-h H. Tevis, and
nieeeofGen. W. T. Sherman, faced
ere., and walked brisksy toward
Fo irtei nth street, watch is less th m
a block distant from tue house. They
h.dalmost reached the entrance of
au alley which opens to the south
ward about twenty yaids from the
house, when two me.i suddenly
stepped out of the alley, win-re they
had been hidden by the high f nee
enclosing the house yard. Not a
word wasspoken, but the smaller ot
the two men, who proved to bo Mr.
Tevis, raised a revolver in his right
hand, took deliberate aim at the
woman’s companion, a d fired.
Iglehartstaggered backward several
steps, and then doubling over
paitially toward his right side felt
on the sidewalk and stretch
ing out. upon his b-ck. His
assailant immediately stepped for
ward to the prostrate man, and Was
pointing the revolver at him,, wiiti
theevtdent intention of firing a finsu
ing shot, but the private detective
wtio had been lying in wait with him
ran forward, ee zsd him by the arm,
wrenched the pistol out of his hand,
and pulled him away. Meanwhile
the woman behaved in a most re
markable manner. Paying no atten
tion to the others, she stooped down
and assis ed her wounded companion
to his feet. Then she got behind him
and pushed him vigorously along the
sidewalk toward the west. He bent
over, held his hand up to Ids side,
and started on a quick walk, which,
under the eager urging of the woman,
soon increased to a run. Seeing that
he bad struck a good gait, and mak
ing sure that he was not being pur
sued, she turned off at a path which
leads diagonally across a vacant lot
from Singleton street to P ipin street,
and quickly disappeared from view.
The fugitive Kept on westward up
Singleton s’reet, and thos* whu siw
him pass noticed that there ws
blood on the baud which he held to
his side, an i that tiis body was b wed
more and more as be ran. Ra idling
Sixteenth street, nearly two blocks
distant from the scane of tue shoot
ing, he turned southward, and per
sons who knew nothing ot theshoot
ingsiwh m inset the woman with
the blue veil near the corner of Six
teenth and Papin streets which point
she had gained in advance ot him.
What they cid n xt was not known
bv any one in the neighborhood.
Tntreall tr me of them -us lost, and
the trail was not again a tuck for
several hours.
Imm diately after the shooting
Tevis and the de eciive walked east
ward d >wn Singietoh street to four
teenth s reel, where they turned
southward and stopped at the livery
stable of Peur Matterson, which ex
t nds ftom Fourteenth street back to
tue alley where they had been secre
ted. Just before they entered the
stable the smaller man was heard to
remark:
"He’ll die I guess.”
The other replied. “Well, let him;
what do we cart?”
Entering the stable they called for
their rig. and the hostler soon
brought to toe front a fine top buggy
with a bay boise. Climbing mro
the buggy tne men drove off, and, as
the other case the trail was lest. A
cr >w 1 collected at. the scene ot the
snooting, but not until all the parties
to it nad disappeared, and while
there was veiy convincing evidence
that, it nad occurred, nobody coul 1
give any information as to the per
sons who had taken part in, or the
cause that had led to it, After an
exchange ot versions, which were in
nearly all cases creations of fancy,
fine crowd soon dispersed and when
the matter was reported to the police
department an hour later by Police
man Thomas Smith, there was noth
ing in the lonesome litt.e street to
suggest that it had recently been the
scene of such a thrilling occurrence.
Newspaper reportes, detectives and
others were soon scouricg the tovn
for mfotma ion or the affray and the
participan's in it, but it was not un
til yesterday that the names leaked
out. The scandal which was thus
caused is now on every tongue. The
people interested are all highly con
nected and wealthy.
IgLhart wes shot in the arm, and
the wound, while painful, is not nec
essarily dangerous. Mis. Tevis fled
to the r-sideoce of her father, Col.
R -ess of the army, to whom she con
fess 1 her fault. He was almost
overpiweied by the sense of bis
daughter’s ehame. Vigorous efforts
were made to keep tne matter quite,
and fcuch a poweriul social influence
was Drought to bear on the local
newspapers that this morning they
make almost no referenes to the
tcamial. After her interview with
! hrr father, Mrs. Tevis consented!
to face the husband she bad wrong- i
• ed, and in bis presence she declared
i! that a severence of the legal ties that ■
1 > bound them would be a blessed boon !
' to her, let the grounds of that sever- j
ance be whatever he chose to make ’
; | them. Mr. Tevis will begin, a suit I
> for divorce. The position in which
i the family with whom Mr. Iglehart
, is a boarder is placed in an unfor
i tunate one. The Hoyt family is old ;
i and respectable, the husband and
i father having for many years been |
among cur most prosperous business i
men. Their social relations are ex
cellent. and they feel deeply humil
iated by the affair. When Iglehart
, came home on Tuesday night ne rang
the door bell and the lady of the
bouse opened the door for him. Ho
announced that bis arm was broken,
but did not say be bad been shot, and
j the inference made was that he had
fallen or met with some other aeci
dent. No particulars wereasked for.
but a physician was summoned. In
the excitement attendant on the hur
tied visit of the doctor the door was
left open ai d probably half an hour
after Mr. Iglehart’s arrival a wo- ,
mau entered and asked the colored
waiting man whom sin met in the
ball which was Mr. Iglehart’s
room. She was informed and she
went up stairs and knocked for ad- ,
mission. The wailing man casually ,
remarked to his mistress that a lady ,
bad just gone up, and thinking it .
must.be a relative of Mr. Iglehart
she hurried up stairs to receive her.
Sae found Mrs. Tevis sitting by the
patient’s bedside and Iglehart intro
duced her as Miss some uiug or oth
er. Considerably confused by the
situation, the lady of the house called
Col. Hoyt and questioned him about ,
the visitor, asking him if it could be
possible that there was anything
improper in the circumstances. Co),
Hoyt endeavored to quiot her ,
tears, but she intimated that unless
all was right eu< should make a Very
vigorous protest against the presence
of the stranger. Mrs. Tevis was per
mitted to remain about half an hour,
and then Col. Hoyt took her away.
She was not veiled, but appeared
perfectly sell possessed. It was not
until the lady of the bouse read tue
newspaper yesterday that she knew
anything of the real nature of the
cas •, and her indignation then knew
no bounds. Yesterday Mrs. Tevis
presented herself again at the door
and was peremptorily ordered away.
Having failed to see Iglehart. she
starte i East last night with her fa
ther, leaving her little girl to the
cue of her husband.
While the scandal, as has been
said, was a profound surprise to the
public, there are few who have sus
pected that the n 1 vtions existing bo
tween Iglehart and Mrs. Tevis were
not proper, it is supposed from c r
tuin information at hand that Mr.
levs was infotmed anonymously
that something was wrong, that he
employed a detective, and that the
latter unearthed enough proof of
the wife’s infidelity to induce the
hush ind to apply a desperate reme
dy. Mrs. Tevit is not more than 25
yens old. She is tali, slight ami
very graceful, and has an abun
dance oi glossy, golden hair, regular
and piquant features, a clear com
pi< xi n, and soft blue eyes. Her
manner is modest and gentle, yet
tnio igh all the exciting events of
l’u sday and Wednesday she bore
hereself with unshaken nerves. It is
now said that she and her husband
n v i not lived happily, but no sub
picion of this was entertained before.
Mr. Tevis, who is the son of John C.
Tevis, an old and respected cit.zen,
is a line-looking young man, and
poshes es some means. Iglehart is
well known in this city, having been
for some years the cashier ot the
banking house of Bartholow, Levis
& Co., which was succoded in busi
ness by the ptesent Laclede bank.
After resigning his place as cashier
he went to Europe, remaining away
upward of six months. He is gen
erally considered well off, having
been lucky in the lise of gas stocks
several years ago. He is ns well
known in social citcles as he is in
business, and is generally regarded
as capable and intelligent. He has
always enjoyed an excellent reputa
tion, and, although fond of driving
fast horses, has never been regarded
as particular dashing, but was looked
uuon hb a quiet, energetic and busi
ness-like young man. He is visited
daily in his sick chamber by hun
dreds of women and men moving in
the best social circles here, and,
while all sympathize with him, they
have nothing but reproaches for Mis.
Tevis. Mr. Tevis has thus far kept
himself from the public, and all ef
forts to see him have been futile,

Talmage’s reading desk was con
cealed yts erday by a sheaf of rye,
bound with cotton plants, full of
snow white cotton. The platform
was edged with ears of glistening
corn, fastened by the husks to the

tree at either end. There were bas
kets of apples, peaches and grapes,
and branches of orange trees laden
with oraeges. There were bananas
and a banana tree. Scattered over

ground were gilt letters, reading:
“Give thanks unto the Lord.” This
was fringed with elimax. huug with
small clusters of white grapes. Min
eral sp cimeus glittered on the plat
form, and just over the pastor’s chair
suspended by au invisible wire, there
was an overfl wing basket of grapes,

The Mock Marriage in Ovington's
Likely to ba Brought Before
the Courts.
I JV. 1”. Sun.
I It was reported yesterday that
steps have been taken to annul the
i marriage if it can be called a mar
! riage, ot Gussie Cropsey, the pretty
shop girl in Ovington Brothers china
'store, in Fulton street, Brooklyn,
and Will Everingham, a clerk in the
store. These young people, in jest,
applied to Voss Neal, the colored
porter employed in the store, to mar
ry them, and bo went through some
formula in the nature of a marriage
ritual. Then tbev learned that ne is
the Rev. Voss Neal, and that the
marriage might possibly hold in
law. m „
Mr. Hery J. Hall, of 63 Wyckoff
street, tne floor walker at Ovington’s
said, yestdrday:
“The young people have been ad
vised by several persons, myself in
cluded, to take steps to set all doubts
to rest. O herwise when either mar
ries it might be possible to make se
rious trouble. Everingham consulted
his uncle, a lawyer in New York, who
advised legal steps, and said he would
draw up the necessary papers, and
after Everingh»m and Miss Cropsey,
and perhaps Voss Neal, had come be
fore him and signed the papers, would
turn them over to another lawyer,
who would institute the necessary
proceeding. It was uderstood that
Everingham and Miss Cropsey were
to visit the lawyer for that purpose
yesterday, but MissCropsey’s mother
said she preferred to consult a lawver
herself before anything was done.
After Miss Cropsey’s family has taken
legal advice, it is probable that pro
ceedings will be instituted.
“No one who is not in possession of
the facts can imagine the annoyance
which that, little lark has caused to
Miss Cropsey. Not less than 300 bun
dred people, many of them from out
of town, have visited the store in tne
last fortnight for the express pur
pose of getting a look at her. I have
received letters from strangers living
as far west as Cbicaga asking if the
published accounts were cur ct.
The Sun’s story has been copied ini >
newspapers all over the country.
Wood cuts of Neal and the young
couple,not of course resembling them
in the remotest degree, have appear
ed in illustrated papers. In such cir
cumstances it seems necessary to
have it settled in the most positive
manner that the young people are
not legally married.”

Presentation of the Passion Play.
The “Nazarene,” the leading part
in “The Passion Play,” which Mr.
Salmi Morse is to produce in a hall
he is building in Twenty-third street,
will be taken by Rov. W. M Wanne
macbar. a Baptist clergyman from
Pennsylvania. Mr. Waunemacher is
known in Pennsylvania as a Good
Templar lecturer, and before enter
ing the ministry had some experience
in private theatricals, but never ap
peared upon the boards of a theatre.
When the "Passion Play” was pro
duced in San Francisco he saw it sev
eral times, and to its influence upon
him he attributed his conversion,
Learning that it was to be done here
he wrote to Mr. Morse, tendering his
service in any capacity, and arrange
ments have been made, not only to
intrust the principal part to him, but
for him to deliver sermons, free to all
from the “Passion” stage on Suwday
evenings.
Mr. Morse says: “I did not in
tend in this production to give the
scene of the crucifixion, or any ot
the horrors in the tragedy of the life
of Jesus, but only to depict, as man
reverently and lovingly may, the
meekness, the goodness, the great
ness attending that sublime subject.

A SOUTIIEBN SILO.
1 The First Ensilage Fit Ever
Made in Georgia—How
it Works.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. A. J. Orme, who has a dairy
■ farm near the city, is now’ feeding
. his cows from perhaps the first silo
built in Georgia,
A silo is a pit in which corn stalks,
pea vines, grasses, or any green stuff
! I that cattle feed en, is stored air tight
and kept over for winter use. When
' opened in December, the vines are as
. succulent and toothsome as when
i they were pulled in August.
, "It is,” said Mr. Orme, “just the
i same process as canning tomatoes or
i peas in the summer for table use in
, the winter, except that the process is
very much cheaper. I take fifty tons
’ of pea vines in September, pitch
them into mv silo, hermetically seal
them up, and in December I open, as
you would a can of tomatoes, and
feed them to my cows.”
"Has the experiment proved a suc
cess?”
‘ In the North and West it has
quite revolutionized things in the
past few years. My own experience
is limited, but satisractory. I pack
ed forty-five tons of pea-viues in my
silo, in the summer. I opEned it a
few weeks ago and found the forage
in admirable order. When a pail of
it is brought to where my cows are
feeding they quit anything else they
are eating and hurry to this. They
are extremely fond of it.”
"Is it a healthy food?”
“Perfectly. It. is good milk-pro
ducing food, and t he butter I make is
yellow, sweet and firm, and brings
fifty cents in this market. I am
feeding seventeen cows on it, and am
more than satisfied so far.”
“How came you to make the silo?”
“1 brought out a Connecticut far
mer to run my farm. He had seen
these silus in use, and insisted that I
should try one. He was so positive
about itfcthat I finally agreed. I
built one with a capacity ot 205 tons,
but was so late that I hardly got it
one-fourih full this year. In a short
time I will take you out to look at it,
and we will then know exactly what
it costand what it is doing. It is a
very interesting experiment.”

’ and killed a woman the other night
in the theatre, while he was display
ing his marksmanship by shooting
an apple off her head got off easily.
1 Much more easily, it appears to us
than he should. The latest from
; Cincinnati on the subject says; "The
coroner’s jury found that the death
of Miss Van Behren was by acciden
tal shooting. Mrs. Van Behren re
quests Frank Frayne to ac
company her remains to Brooklyn.
Before the court to-day Frayne was
arraigned on a charge of manelaugh-
. ter. The shooting was established
■ and admitted, and Frayne testified
that it was due to the wearing out or
J breaking of the thread of the screw
1 in the breach of bis gun. The screw
j was blown out, the barrel dropped
and the bullet struck six inches below
■ its aim. The prosecution here rested
' and said the charge of manslaughter
r should be sustained, by the statute
1 which forbids any one to point a
r loaded gun at or toward another
J person. Counsel for Frayne claims
that the statute did not apply, as the
gun was not pointed at the deceased,
but at an apple six inches above her
r head. He suggested also that Frayne
t had already suffered the worst that
i could happen to anyone, and that no
1 punishment which law could inflict
* could give greater weight to the iefc
-1 eon of this accident. Judge Higley
'• came to the opinion that the statute
'■ was not disobeyed in this case, be
r cause the gun was aimed at an ob
y ject and not at a person. He said the
testimony clearly showed that there
was not the slightest criminal intent
- and that the prisoner should be dis
charged, Thia announcement was
greeted with emphatic applause.”
3 i FRANK JAMES TURNED
1 i FARSON.
5
i He Pays His Respects to Bob
5 ! Ingersoll in a Forcible
Manner.
( Chicago Times Kansas City Special.
In an interview with Frank James,
reference was made to Ingersoll, who
when here last week, said the crimi-
■ jial ought to be hung. The prisoner
denounced the Colonel as n, blasphe
mer and a hypocrite. "Ingersoll,”
■ continued Frank, "goes abroad de
nouncing the Bible, the most sacred
’ of all books. He ridicules its teach
! ings and the Saviour, and yet amid
■ all this he has hearers to the num
i ber of 2,000, while a man for using an
, indecent word while drunk will be
confined thirty days. My God? how
■ can such a state of affairs be? Any
man wno '<ould assail the sacred
book would dare to do anything.
Tne Lord is my helper. I care not
’ what men shall do or say against me.
■ Ingersoll is doing unspeakable in
i jury to the nation. He is sowing the
seed of iniquity in the minds of our
youth.” A Visitor replied; “He is
having a good influenpe upon all.
He is causing them to think. .He
> advocates adherence to no doctrine.
: He is a lover and helper of his
fellow men.” James said, speaking
to the visitors; “Even in you we
1 have an illustration of evil influence
1 upon the youth. You are a young
- man. and one, I suppose, whose
mother endeavored to rear iu the
1 light of Christian truth, but in your
1 advocacy of Ingersoll you are on the
\ downward path, and unless you turn
from the evil way you will go to
hell.” The visitor, endeavoring to
' retrive, said that he did not indorse
Ingersoll, but believed in free think
ing : that God never made man to
damn him. To this Mr. James re
plied : “In man there is an intuition
which tells him there Js a God, and
any man who says to the contrary is
a hypocrite. He deceives himself.
God uoes live, and he will some time
strike Ingersoll to the earth for his
blasphemy. How any man can live
and have his being in this universe
and sav there is no God, I don’t
know.” Turning to the visitor, who
said he would have to retire, he said:
“If you follow Ingersoll you some
day may be where lam now—in jail—
and I know finally will be in hell;
so turn aside. There in no one more
lenient than the Creator, and you
may yet escape the torments of
hades.”
