6. w. Van Gorder thinks commission
men will have to find other quarters if the
Mayor entorces the ordinance. SIT would
be great hardship on us to move just
now," said he, because the majority of the
men on the street have leases which do not
expire for several years. We could not dis
pose of our leases because the buildings are
rotten old shells useless for any other busi-
ness In fact we only lease them in order
to get the use of the wide
sidewalks here and because the business
is here. We could not get along without
street room. If we were to put our stock
inside over night 1t would spoil for want of
air before morning. These commission
merchants are not allowed to use the side
walks. We supply the people with their
food and the privilege we enjoy is necessary
to the business and required by no other
branch of trade"

The Sir Walter Raleigh Drifting st Sea

LONDON, Feb. ia tug arrived at
Crook Haven, to-day, bringing a report
Of an accident that threatens to have
serious consequences. The British
steamer Sir Walter Raleigh, Capt. Smith,
bound from Philadelphia for Falmouth
or Plymouth, arrived in Bantry Bay,
on the southwest coast of Ireland, on
Saturday last, with her shaft broken in
two places. 1t was impossible for her
to make repairs there, SO the tug, was
engaged to convey her to port where
she could find facilities to repair the
damage. The tug started with the
steamer, which had been lying at Port
Haven, a part of Bantry Bay. Before
they had proceeded far a heavy
gale sprung up. The wind and sea
were rapidly increasing, and it was
finally decided that the tug must seek
shelter, so she steered away for Crook
Haven. The last seen of the Sir

PARKER. Pa, Feb. 16.-The great ice
gorge in the Allegheny River is not yet
broken, but as the weather is moderat-
ing rapidly it may come within the next
twenty'four hours. The river is nine
teen feet high and slowly rising. If
the gorge breaks and the water
falls it is thought the ice
will pass off without doing
much damage. The greatest alarm is
felt, however, and arrangements have
been made to notify the people if the
danger is imminent by ringing the fire
bells. The gorge extends from Red
bank TO Foxburg, distance of twenty
nine miles. There is very little danger
for the personal safety Of the people, as
there are numerous hills on each side
of the river to which they can 60. The
entire business portion of the place is
on the river bank.

NO AID FROM THE POLICE.
Aid Refused Street Car Companies at H.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 22.-The
street car tie-up in this city is complete.
The company attempted to run a car
out of the Alabama Street stables
this morning, but the strikers
took possession Of it and soon
had it back in the barn. The bat
tie between the company and the men
will be decisive one, and long and
bitter fight IS expected. President
Frenzel has appealed to Mayor Sullivan
for police protection, and the latter has
replied that he will not put police on
the cars. If the strikers attack
the men or cars when they
are once started, the police will
be ready to arrest the law breakers.
This reply does not satisfy President
Frenzel, and it is stated that he is now
eparing another communication to
the Mayor, in which he will demand
the assistance Of police in starting the
cars, and If Mayor Sullivan refuses to
comply President Frenzel will then call
upon the sheriff. All the wires have
been grounded by the strikers. Up to
noon there had been no act of violence,
and everything is perfectly quiet An
other attempt will be made by the road
officers to run cars this afternoon.

YOUNG ROsENFELD's RETURN.
de Brings With Him $75, 600 Won at
Monte Carlo Gamblin TabIes.


New York, Feb. 1S.-The steamship
Spree arrived at quarantine last night,
and has on her passenger list that
famous young man of Chicago known on
two continents as the 'Monte Carlo
plunger." Henry Resented is his
name. Smooth-faced, pale and slight,
and not over % years, his reckless play
resulted in his winning about $780,
900 in less than week at
Monte Carlo last month. The plunger
is one of the heirs of a millionaire,
Michael Reece, of San Francisco. Each
year he starts on a tour around the
world, and invariably reaches Monte
Carlo in due time. He has been known
to put down the limit at every turn of
the wheel, and he alarmed the bank
last year. 1t is believed that Plunger
Resented returns to this country q
winner of about $4,000 or 100000.

CINE in the deep ravine. He was un-
