Watered Stock.

Junior Partner-Mr. Shortweight,
don't you think we had better put the
price of coal up? 1t is going to be
very cold tonight, and the people will
look for an advance tomorrow.
Senior Partner-I see, my son, you
are not yet up to the fine points of the
business. Insert in tomorrow morn
ing's paper an advertisement of re-
duction of five per cent.
Junior Partner-A reduction of five
per cent? Why, that is against all
sound business principles. The greater
the demand the higher the price.
Senior Partner-Not SO fast, young
man. Order the men to water the coal
that will add fifteen per
cent. to its weight and bulk when it
freezes, and after the reduction of five
per cent. we will still have ten per
cent. advance.-Philadelphia Call.

Bismarck Relates How . PrussiAn War
Minister Was Once Made.
When I again rejoined the party. Bis
marck was telling them the following
story of General Won Strotha: He was
at that time living quietly at Frankfort,
in command of the allied garrison
there, when one day he received tele-
gram from the then Minister-President,
Count Won Brandenburg, to come at
once to Berlin and report himself to
the Minister. Strotha starts for Berlin
in hot haste, and thence Immediately
goes to Brandenburg.
II have sent for your Excellency to
ask YOU to become War Minister" said
Brandenburg.
"Mev' exclaimed Strotha. ''For
Heavens sake, your Excellency, what
made you think of such thing? am
not in any way fitted for the post.
II am afraid that can't be helped.
See; here is the order from his Majesty
the King, requiring that you shall be
War Minister"
Strotha reads the order, looking
greatly troubled, and then says: LOT
course, if his Majesty commands, must
obey"
.!Well, then, my dear colleague.
continues Brandenburg. ''you will at
tend the Cabinet Council at ten to-
day."
"Oh, 1 could not possibly do that. "
II am afraid you will have to. See;
here is another order from his Majesty,
expressly desiring you to undertake
the War Department in the Cabinet.
"Then must, of course, obey" said
the new War Minister, with deep
sigh of detection.
He is just about to leave, in order to
prepare himself for his presumable
maiden speech, when Bradenburg
stops him: II suppose you know, Cen
eral, that you must appear in mutt
(plain clothes) at the council?"
Strotha stood speechlesa with amaze
ment. This was the finishing stroke.
Il have nOner' he at last managed to
stammer forth.
"Well, you will have to get yourself
some by ten o'clock-such are the
Kings commands"
Then of course l must obey" re-
piled Strotha, leaving the room in
very crestfallen manner.
But he faced his difficulty valiantly.
Jumping into cab, he drove off to the
Muhfendamm, where all the old Jews
congregate; and at ten o'clock precisely
a strange figure, with an enormously
high collar, and coat sleeves hanging
right over his hands, was seated at the
ministerial table-this was the new War

A Mangled Conductor.

WASHINGTON, Mo-, March 13.-William
Anderson, the conductor who brought out
the Washington accommodation 10 this
place last night was run over here about
eight o'clock while the train was being
switched. The engine and the front trucks
of the baggage car passed over both legs,
almost severiEg them from his body below
the knees. The right leg will have to be
amputated, and the left may be saved.
Mr.. Andrews was unfamiliar with the side
tracks, and thought he was on different
track from that on which the train was be-
ing switched. The unfortunate man exhib-
its wonderful nerve and there is . posi-
bility of his pulling through.

DeSnerSLo Killed.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 12.-Several
months ago, one Martin, notorious escaped
convict and desperate, and his companion,
Snyder. liberated forty convicts in camp
on the BrazOs. Governor Ireland offered q
reward Of $3.50 for Martins body, dead or
alive. Learning that the desperate was in
Gillespie County a few weeks ago. the
sheriff summoned a posse of eight or ten
citizens in Fredericksburg and went out to
effect Martins arrest The desperate re-
sisted and was killed. From Mccullough,
the contractor, who arrived in the city last
night, It is learned that the grand jury of
Gillespie County had indicted the sheriff
and all of the posse who were present at
the time Martin was killed. While the
prosecution may cause tho officers great
deal of trouble and expense, tits not at all
likely that they can be convicted for Grim

A Street Car Wrecked and Fights With the
Police.
TORONTO, Ont, March 13.-Accordng to
the instructions of the president of the
street railway company, the running of the
missioner, and late yesterday morning car
manned with force of police left the sta
bles and started out over Front street.
A mob appeared before the car had pro-
ceeded very many blocks, and the street
was soon completely blOckaded by coal
carts, express wagons, etc. The police
were poweriesS to stop this, and the at
tempt to get the car through was aban
dOned. The mob then attacked and COM
pletely wrecked it. The driver and con-
ductor were seized by the rioters
and pretty severely hurt before being
rescued by the police. The ring
leaders of the mob we're arrested.
Owing to renewal of the obstruction tao
tics all the street cars were withdrawn be-
tween three and four o'clock in the after
noon. About $50 O'clock the police had
hot work in clearing Young street Of the
crowds congregated there. They charged
on the crowd repeatedly, using their batOns
most effectively. The crowd retallated by
throwing bricks. sticks and stones. The
police succeeded, after half hours hard
work, in dispensing the mob, who, however
cOngregated around the street car stables.
The police again appeared and after severe
struggle dispersed the crowd. Then there
was comparative quiet. Mayor Rowland
has issued a proclamation calling upon law
abiding citizens to preserve the peace and
not cOcprppate on the streets
Meantime the Mayor and Aldermen met
informally, and after discussing the situa-
ton Populations were appointed to wait
upon the president of the horse car company
and the strikers. The result of these con-
ferences is, it is believed, that the strikers
will return to work upon the same cOndi-
