Aaron Simms, a colored man who has
lived here a number OF years, died sud
denly yesterday morning. He has been
in rather feeble health for some time past
aud an attack OF the grippe tended to ma
terially increase his trouble. Yesterday
morning he started to sweep out John
Harrington's clothing store but in a mo-
ment was forced to sit down. The clerk
seeing that he was i'll. told him to rest
and swept out himself. When he got
through Simms seemed much worse so
some blankets were arranged in the rear
part of the store for him to lie down on.
When Mr.. Harrington appeared he
started at once for a docter, and failing
to find one speedily, gave the suffering
man a large drink OF whisky. This re-
yiyed him somewhat, but he was entirely
beyond medical help, and when DR., Hunt,
the first to answer the summons, arrived,
there was nothing be could do.
The immediate cause of his death was
heart failure. Simms was about 81 years
of age and a very Trustworthy and reliable
man. His funeral will take place from
the A. NJ. f. church, at 2:3O O'Clock this
afternoon.

Tony Cory, the lad who has been the
victim OF so many adventures, met with
ar accident yesterday and did not escape
as fortunately as usual. Tony is only 4
years old and wandered down to the via
duct from his home at the corner of Nine
tenth and Eddy, With some of his play
mates. While sitting on some boards
with his feet resting on a pile OF iron rods
one OF the workmen threw a plank
on TO the rods. This caused the ends of
them to fly up and the boys toes were
caught between several of them and
nipped as though by a pair of shears.
The fourth toe of the left foot was ampu-
tated aud the adjoining toe badly bruised.
DIR. Marston dressed the injuries. Tony
is the same boy who recently stole a ride
on the fast mail to Laramie and a short
time later was run over by a heavy stone
wagon, but escaped almost uniniured.

Harvard Students Franks.

BosToN, June 1l.-There are some
Harvard students who don't seem to
appreciate the fact that their college has
recently suffered more or less through
their disgraceiul antics. Sixteen of these
young men went on another spree Satur-
day night, and the result was an injured
cab driver, four maltreated equines and u
damaged tally-ho, There is also an ex-
pense bill which will probably be charged
as sundries to the fathers of these young
men.
Saturday evening sixteen students char
tered the handsome tally-ho coach of the
Boston Cab company, and with four
horses driven by Walter Hines started on
a lively trip about town. After a two
hours drive about town they determined
to 90 to Wellesley. With that off
handed manner characteristic of the
fresh men of Harvard, the boys or
dered driver Hines to an inside seat. He
objected, but was persuaded TO obey their
behest. Then the gang whipped up the
horses and started off on the road. Hav-
ing become sufficiently stimulated, the
studious youngsters started on the return
trip, and a short distance from Wellesley
halted to hold an Indignation meeting,
while the four valuable horses OF the cab
company, lathered with foam, were wildly
prancing. Driver Hines attempted to
give some attention to his team. when one
of the students R~enially smashed Hines
tall hat. A mock trial was held, at which
Hines was the defendant without counsel.
He was soon convicted of insubordiuation
and sentence was passed upon him. His
handsome green livery was stripped from
him aud tattered and torn. The offensive
driver having received sundry kicks and
bruises, was summary thrown over a
fence and left to find his way as best he
might to Boston. This he did BY means

The bounty to be paid for the production
of American sugar is authorized by the

producers of sugar which tests 80 degrees

the Missouri Pacific was largely but indi-
rectly interested. He then recited the
facts relating to the efforts of the Rock
Island and Milwaukee roads to secure a
charter for a bridge across the Missouri,
and stated at length the efforts on the
part OF the Union Pacific to block the
move of the Rock Island and the Milwau-
kee. The formulation of the contract
was gone over at length and Judge With
row asserted that because Sidney Dillon,
the gray haired railroad official, and his
assistants had beer o%verreached by their
sharper competitors. they now appealed
to a court of equity to declare that the
contract was not legal. The contract was
drafted In Judge Withr0w's room at the
Willard hotel in this city and
was transcribed by Judge Thurston's
stenographer. This draft was in

CARLSBAD, June lip. D. Armour
of Chicago. who is here with his invalid
wife, said today, that he had Just received
a long dispatch troru Chicago stating that
ground had been broken at Tolleston,
Ind, for the new stock Yards. He said
they proposed TO establish packing houses
there. they will not be SO cramped for
room as at the old yards which, he says,
are altogether out of place in such close
proximity TO the bet part of Chicago.
They propose to issue $4,000, 900 OF
stock, which they will divide among the
packers aud dealers who follow them.
The Associated Press correspondent
asked if other packers will follow and
desert the old yards.
They cannot help themselves" said
Mr.. Armour We three (Armour,
Morris aud Swift practically control the
business, and the others must follow.
.-Besides. it is to their own advantage. The
I'D yards charges are now so high that 1t
~3carcely paws to do business there. We
shall give better accommodations at more
moderate rates. You zee, the old yards,
which originally cost about 81 900, 900,
were sold several months ago to an English
syndicate for $25, 000, 900. The investors
want to get interest on this immense sum
consequently high charges are necessary. "
But what will become ofthese millions
when you and all the other great houses
move away2'' said the correspondent.
Il am not worrying about English IN
vestOrs, said Mr.. Armour. Il feel sorry
for them, but | must look out for my own

reasons why the change should be made.
