THE ROYAL AMERICAN.
Mysterious Disappearance of the Office of a
Queer" Assessment Company.

Complaints have frequently been made dur
ing the last year by policy holders against the
Royal American Benevolent Association of this
city, operated upon the assessment plan, under
the defective Indiana insurance laws. The chief
capital of the concern was the Understanding
name, and, during an existence of two years it
succeeded in gathering in quite a
large number of guileless victims,
who were drawn into the association
upon all kinds of specious representations
Their membership was never of long DURATION
however, for they were usually quite willing
to sacrifice their interests in the association
after a short time. The concern was incorpor-
ated in 1882, and its operations have been far
more profitable than reputable. The secretary
and treasurer was Isaac NJ. Stephens. He had
an Office at No "a Circle street, but it quietly
disappeared several days ago, and has
since been missing. The holder of a
policy for $4,000, living at Omaha, Illinois,
writes to the Journal, stating that he has fears
that the association is a fraud His policy was
issued on the 18th of last February, and he has
paid assessments amounting to 500. Two weeks
ago he was notified that he need not send any
more money as the Royal American Benevolent
intended to unite with another associa-
ton. An effort was made yesterday by a
Journal reporter to find Mr.. Stephens for the
purpose of learning something about the affairs
of the defuret concern, but the address of Mr.
Stephens is now rs indefinite as the location OF
his office The directory gives No l34 St Mary
street his residence, where the reporter called
last evening, and was informed that Mr. Ste
phens had moved two weeks ago. Where tol-

that could be given by the lady who opened the

Heading or the strikers.

1t has leaked out that the operators in the
Clay county block coal regions have combined to
put in machinery similar to that in use in the
Abbey coal mines, on the Western division of
the Vandalia, and which is performing admira-
bly,, enabling them to place coal upon the cars at
so cents per ton and realize handsome profit;
and it is claimed that the same machinery

oal upon the cars at sixty-fve cents per
ID leave very satisfactory profit. The
tors say that they have become tired
sse annual strikes and it is beginning to tell
on their business as other Goals are being intro
duced in what have been the block coal markets;
and they take this step for
self protection. 1t is stated that machinery
for mining can be operated in the block coal
mines to much better advantage than in the
bituminous coal mines of the Abbey Coal
Company. There seems to be no weakening on
the part of the strikers although they have been
out some seven weeks. Consequently the coal
operators say they will dilly daily no longer In
the matter. but arrange at once for putting in
mining machinery.
The roads which have depended upon the
block coal mines, Clay county for their coal
traffic, are gradually building up profitable
business by drawing their coal from other points
within their reach, the Vandaia bringing east
from the Abbey mines on its western division

W. F. Allen was present at the Southern rail
way time convention and addressed the super
intendents and general ticket and passenger
agents. In the course of his remarks he said:

Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific west of
Denver have not yet adopted standard time, but
with the spring change of schedule the Union

Suits in Attachment.

Loeb, Schoenfeld & Co., of Philadelphia, have
brought attachment proceedings against George
w. Clay & Bro. to recover So, $50 on an open &C.
count for merchandise. A formal demand is
made for $4,000, and Hirsh Levy, the agent of
the firm, has made affidavit that the defendants
are disposing of their effects for the purpose of
defrauding their creditors Similar suits were
brought against the Clay brothers by Kibbe,
Chaffee & Co. and the Eagle Pencil Company for
1914 and $500 respectively. The defendants
are residents of Allegheny City, Pa, and the
suits are brought here, as the goods attached
were shipped here.

A JUST CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Much Dissatisfaction Over the Pugilistic
Fiasco at the Grand

Somebody acted in bad faith toward the public
regarding the athletic exhibition which was given
at the Grand last night, and, in consequence,
there was general dissatisfaction and a vigorous
'kick" all around. 1t was definitely announced
in all the papers, as we'll as from the stage on
Monday night, that Mervine Thompson, the
Cleveland pugilist, would attempt to ''knock OUT
James Kelly, a local celebrity, and that Harry
Woodson, the "Black Diamond" pugilist of
wide reputation, would also participate. At the
time this announcementwasm made there was but
remote possibility that Woodson would come, and
none whatever that Thompson would appear for
he had felon on his left hand, which will prob
ably disable him for weeks. Either the local
management or the manager of the combination,
and probably both, knew this; but yet they ad-
vertised programme that could not be carried,
out and, as there was much local interest in the
contest between Thompson and Kelly, there was
very large crowd In attendance, the gross re-
ceipts probably aggregating $3.50. Some exhibit
tons were given between the Jap and Joseph
Huffbower, u young man who is very clever
with his hands, as well as two brothers
who appeared together in gloves and one, later
on, did some very creditable sparring with Chas.
Lang, the so-styled champion Of Ohio" The
only feature, however, that amounted to much
was single bout, catch as catch can. wrestling
between Ross and Sorakichi, which was won by
the former. The announcement was then made
that Thompson could not appear, and it was fol
lowed by storm of Kisses and cries. He and
Kelly were brought out in front and introduced,
and the latter was given the $50 offered by the
management for any man who would stand up
before Thompson, but this did not satisfy
the crowd, who continued to express their
indignation in various ways. The curtain was
finally rung down. and the people dispersed.
Kelley expressed a Willingness to try conclusions
with Thompson at any time and place that will
suit the latter but there is little probability that
the men will get together. The fasco last night
will be apt to destroy much of the interest in
pugilistic affairs here.

AIiscellaneous Notes.

Profanity on the part of West Shore railroad
employees will hereafter be taken as sufficient
cause for their dismissal
The Pennsylvania road proper in the month
of March carried 1926, 6s8 tons of anthracite coal
against 1873, SIT tons in March 1883.
The Evansville & Terre Haute road earned
the first quarter, this year, $169,374; correspond
ing three months last year, $l84,4 APO.
Notwithstanding the low rates at which it is
alleged the Peoria, Decatur a. Evansville road
has been carrying bgusiness. its earnings show
q handsome increase, being in the three months
ending March 81, 1902, 22O, against $l61, $40 the
corresponding period 1883.
The New York, West Shore & Buffalo and the
Michigan Central roads are now working har-
moniously together transferring freiPhts, ETC.,
to the surprise of railroad circles. After all the
abuse heaped upon the Vanderbilt people they
show disposition to act squarely with their
competitors.
Lake Erie is reported to be full of ice as far as
the eye can reach beyond the lighthouse on the
Buffalo coast and the indications that it will
not break up before the middle of May. This
looks bad for an early opening of navigation.
This will make the railroads masters of the stu
alton for six weeks 10 come.
A decision of the Court of Appeals, of New
York, in the case of Mary A. Seybot, widow of
postal clerk on the Erie, against the latter
road, says that loss of life of an employee rid
ing on pass when the company is at fault,
does not deprive the survivors of the right to re-
cover damages. Postal clerks are passed free on
presentation of their commissions.
The Journal of Railway Appliances says: 1t

Arrested for Embezzlement.

Some weeks ago Thomas A. Williams bought
considerable furniture of Ralston & Co, on the
installment plan, and before he had paid any
considerable amount on it, he sold it to Nathan
Boernstein and left the city. The former brought
a replevin suit, which is still pending, and then
both men united IN employing detective to find
Williams. Word was received yesterday that
he had been arrested at Decatur, Ill, and he
will be brought here for trial for embezzlement
