CHICAGO, June 1.-THE failure of
Robert S. Warren & Co., a heavy En-
Rlish house operating on the Board of
Trade here was officially announced to-
day. The firm was heavily long on
wheat, pork, lard and ribs. Warren,
when asked as to the amount of liabilities
said he did not know. His money is
tied up but he hoped to be able to get
out even. The announcement caused a
heavy break in the articles dealt in by
the firm. Wheat dropped to SO and
mess pork to 81, rs when the firms hold
ings were thrown on the market, but sub
sequently recovered. Warren Il Co. have
been rated high but recently have been
specializing heavily on the wrong side.
Its former business was chiefly exporting
hog products.
Warren was IN individual operator
using a firm name. He is said to have
owned a third of all the cash wheat in
Chicago, as he has bought all along on
the recent drop in prices. The Bank of
Montreal, winch is holding wheat as Sc
curlty for money advanced, is reported to
have shut down on him. Warren. when
interviewed this afternoon, made light of
the matter. The whole thing is Offset, -
said he. Our assets cover our liabili-
lies. Through oversight the deposit of a
check was neglected this morning. The
matter has been balanced aud our bust
ness will go on"

Strike situation at Columbus.

COLUMBUS. June 1.-THE Consoli-
dated Street Railway company made an
other effort to start this morning. The
cars had proceeded but a few squares
where thousands had gathered and they
were blocked with stone and rubbish.
Women took a hand in stopping the cars.
The mayor was present and ordered the
arrest OF two citizens who were blocking
the tracks The situation was threaten
ing but no one was injured. The en-
ployes at some OF the leading manufac-
lures closed down and turned out as 5000
as they learned cars were to be started,
their object being to aid the strikers. The
mayor is going to call a meeting of citi.
zens to consider the situation. The com
pany insists on protection from the police
and the mayor claims the police force is
inadequate to the task. If a compromise
is not reached the mayor states he viii

men and brakemen OF the Illinois Cen

They complain that the accommodations
at Mounds Junction are entirely made

crews that are run in there every day and
that the whites are compelled to eat at
the same table with blacks and occupy
the same beds. The black men are con-
fined to the southern division and until
June were stopped at East CAIRO, KY,
where they had separate accommodations,
but since then the southern division was
extended to Mounds Junction, this side

Fire in Russian Towns.


CINCINNATI, June ia fight to the
death between two blooded stations was
the thrilling spectacle witnessed on Cap
tain B. F. Trester' farm at Aurora, Ind.
yesterday. Two thr~ee-year-old stations,
both spirited and valuable animals. with
all the beauty and yigor impaired by
thoroughbred ancestry, had been turned
into adjoining pastures to feed. A heavy
wooden fence divided the fields, and al
though as colts, the pair had playfully
bit and kicked at each other across il, the
fence was supposed to be strong enough
to keep them separate and prevent
trouble. This summer had brought the
colts almost to the tull vigor OF equine
vitality, however, and the circumstances
developed in them to its full degree the
ferocity and courage which exists in every
perfectly made horse. The animals be
gan their fxht over the separating
fence and kicked and paved at each
other until the fence was demolished.
Then they came together in a struggle
which for fierceness and length exceeded
anything which the spectators had ever
witnessed. The two big brutes stood
on their hind legs fiercely paving and
striking each other with their fore feet
and tearing each Others necks aud shout
ders with their teeth. Their neighing
and screams Of rage and the sound of their
kicks and snorts were heard fully half a
mile away, and a half dozen or more per-
sons were attracted to the scene of the
conflict, but SO vicious were the enraged
animals that for nearly an hour no one
dared to go zeal them. At last the
smaller of the two, a bright bay, caught
his antagonist by the throat with bis
teeth and dragged him to the ground.
The larger horse kicked and rolled, and
gasped spasmodicallY in an effort to avoid
being chokod to death, but the small
Horse chung desperately to its hold, and
the death of the large horse ended the
struggle. The other was almost dead
from exhaustion.

nation of Carlisle of Kentucky.
Morrill, Of Kansas presented the con-
ference report on the senate dependent
pension bill.
Springer of illinois asked that the re.
port go over until tomorrow that it might
be printed.
Morrill, objected. The previous ques-
ton was ordered-yeas III, nays &c.
Morrill,, in explanation OF the eport,
stated that the conference committee had
struck out the dependent feature of the
senate bill n the service feature of the
house bill. The measure, as determined
upon, was not exactly what he would de-
sire, but was the best that could be OBJ
tanned. 1t would distribute $35, DOC, 900
Oder of Ohio protested against the
conference report, holding that it ignored
the demands of the soldier.
Springer of Illinois entered a vigorous
protest against the manner in which the
bill was brought before the house. No
opportunity was offered members to ex-
anime its provisions.
Cannon of Illinois, favored the bill on
the ground that it would place on the
pension rolls $50. 900 names and increase
the pension of $4,000 men now on the
rolls.
McComas of Maryland ELECTED a round
of applause by his reference to Morrill, as
the best friend the soldier has had in the
house for many years.
The conference report was agreed to

ference report on the senate antitrust

Louisville, June 9. "A wedding that
occurred here this morning saves a man
and woman from the penitentiary Last
October Mrs. Annie Butcher came to this
city from Carrollton, Ky with a two.
months-old child. James NJ. Hutchinson,
who lived near Carrollton, followed her,
and the two started away together on a
boat. When near the Kentucky river
the two quarreled about the child and the
woman threw it into the water. When ac-
cussed of the murder the woman confessed
but declared that Hutchinson had forced
her to do it. Both were arrested and the
trial was set for to day. Just before the
case was to be opened Hutchinson and
the woman called a justice of the peace
and were married. Under Kentucky law
a woman cannot testify against her hus-
band in a criminal case, nor can the
husband testify against the wife. The
only witnesses in the case were Hutchin-
son and the woman, and their marriage
preventing their testifying the case had
to be dismissed.

COLUMBUS, O., June ll.-Saturday
Alice Williams, a little girl whose father.
"Dr." Williams, is a negro voodoo doctor,
and her mother a white woman, reported
to the police that she had seen Martin
Bryan and her mother kill Elmer Brad
ford, 3 little boy and the stepson Of
Bryan, and then carry his body to
Alum creek, where it was buried along
the banks. The police credit the story.
but thus far have been unable to find the
body of the child or otherwise fully verify
the girls story, The police and citizens
searched the banks of Alum creek
and all the neighborhood about where
the body was said to have
been concealed by her mother
and Bryan after they bad muir
dered him, but no trace of him
could be found. Both Bryan
and the Williams woman were
arrested Saturday. About noon yester-
day another arrest was made by taking
into custody William Bailey, a man who
has been making his home at the house of
DR." Williams, where the murder is
said to have been committed. Williams is
a very ignorant negro. His wife is a white
woman and Is described by the neiQhbors
as a veritable virsgo. The persons ar
rested are all kept closely confined and
reporters ara not allowed to interview
them. 1t is the theory of the police that
the Williamses were hired by Bryan, the
boys stepfather. to make way with him,
as he was subject to fits and a great care,
giving them 10 consideration $50. or half
of the insurance he had taken on the
