SAGE'S COWARDICE.
The Millionaire Shielded Himself
Behind a Clerk.

New YORK, Dec. 24.-The Evening
World says: "Unless a compromise is
effected, Russell Sage will probably be
made defendant in one of the most
novel and interesting suits ever brought
in court of law. The preliminary
steps have been taken to bring an ac-
ton ag ainst the multi-milIionaire put
and call broker for heavy damages for
having used Brokers Clerk w. r. Laid
= law to shield himself when NOrcrOss,
the dynamiter, exploded his bomb in
Sage's Office Dec. 4. 1t is understood
that the amount of damage to be
claimed has been placed at 100000.
The suit will be based upon the allega-
ton that the millionaire deliberately
held the brokers' clerk between himself
and the menacing dynamiter, with the
result that Mr.. Sage's life was saved at
the expense of horrible injuries to Mr..
Laidlaw. 1t will be further alleged, it
is understood. that Mr.. Sage was fully
aware that he was jeOpardizing the
young clerks life to save his own.

surprised to find the son of his old
friend JudgeOlivierlying on the ground.
He took him inside his house and sent

doctor pronounced the young man
as dead, and the remains were
conveyed to his parents resi-

occurred. The family doctors, Messrs.
Marquis and Marchand, were sum-

every means known to science to re-
store animation, as faint fluttering of

not extinct when the physicians
arrived, but their efforts were
fruitless, and they were compelled to
tell the relatives of the unfortunate
youth that he was dead. The exact
ceSse of death could not be determined,
and an autopsy will be held in order to
show whether death was due to heart
disease or rupture of blood vessel of
the brain caused by the fall on the side

could be found last evening. Judge

DEMURRAGE ADVOCATED.
The Memphis Line Calls in the Rates Pro-

Considerable surprise was expressed
among business men when the Memphis
line announced il had abrogated its demur-
rage rates. promulgated last summer In
regard to the matter Traffic Manager Sal
gent says: We have abandoned our de-
mUrrage rules because the other roads didn't
support US in the position we took. At the
time we inaugurated the rule our yards
were crowded with cars. which We're let
standing in the yards after their arrival,
when we needed them and needed the room
in the yards as well. We expected then
that the other roads would join with Us IN
the organization OF L car service assocla-
ton. which the general superintendent as
suCiation had under consideration, and we
thought il would be vel for Us, under the
circumstances, to anticipate their acton
few days. The Alton was then appar-
emily the only roal which was 10Th 20 JOIN
the association. and il seemed probable
be overcome. The matter dragged
on for some months before it was
settled, and then It developed that there
were others besides the Alton which were
unfavorably inclined. though they had APP
peared friendly when the matter was pro-
posed. Now there IS no chance Of forming
the association; we have thought it better
TO withdraw from Ourposition. Why there
should be any objection 10 the plan here l
do not see. In Memphis and Birmingham,
where we are in the car service aSsOcia-
tions, they work well, and the shippers lind
themselves much benefited in the quicker
service in the yards. The same reports
come from Chicago, st. Louis and other
cities where the plan is in practice. 1t has
been said that the roads have failed to col
Iect as much dcmurrage from the shippers

port comes from an entire misuuderstand-
