sary that some action be taken. A far as
can be learned it is thought the leaders
will likely issue another manifesto and
urge the men to continue the battle.

PAY YOUR FREIGHT.
A Radical Change in Freight
Depot Circles.
Merchants Must Pay Their Freight BE-
fore Their Goods Win be
Delivered.

The announcement in the LEAF
CHRONICLE yesterday, that on the
first Of January the Louisville q
Nashville Railroad Company would
radically change their mode of col.
lecting freights at Clarksville, has
caused considerable CONNECT among
the merchants, some OF which is
against the company.
For many years 1t has been the
custom of the company to deliver
freight to the merchants and then
present the bill of charges. This,
however, will be abandoned the first
Of the year and the merchants will be
required to 60 to the depot and pay
their freight charges before their
goods are delivered. This applies, as
will be seen by the official announce
ment, to freight shipped also In car
load lots.
A LEAF-CHRoNICLE reporter at
tempted this morning to ascertain
the reason for this change. Much
trouble has been encountered by the
company in collecting freight bills
where all the freight had not been
delivered, and II Is understood that
it has been next to impossible for an
agent to make his full returns when
required by the company. This
state Of affairs was annoying and the
authorities, no doubt, decided to put
this city on an equality with other
cities in this respect, for the time be.
ing especially. 1t has been learned
that ClarksvilIe is the only town Of
any pretensions on the whole sys.
tenn where the merchants are pre-
sented with their bills by the com.
pany. They are required to pay the
freight charges before the freight Is
delivered in every city on the line,
Nashville, Louisville and Memphis
included. This being a fact, II ar-
pears that the merchants and busi-
ness men generally have no gronnds
for a kick. This fact, however,
seems to be recognized by all.
CAPT. GRACEY TALKS.
Since the above was written and
put into type reporter has had an
interview with Capt. Gracey on this
subject. Capt. Gracey says this
change will In no way affect the
merchants OF Clarksville, as their
goods will be delivered as OF yore by
the drsys of Gracey Bros., and their
freight bills viii be presented as
usual. The only trade the change
will affect Is tobacco and coal All
freight charges on coal and tobacco
must be paid before the same is re-
moved from the depot. This order
comes directly from the freight de.
partment headquarters and will be
put into effect next Monday.

MUCH ACTIVITY.
Thousands of Dollars Being
Paid out For Tobacco.
January and February Business will be
Better. Perhaps, Than That OF
December.

The Owensboro 1 Messenger speaks
thus of the activity In the tobacco
market:
"The past week has been the most
active In the local tobocco market
that has been known for years.
Every house In the city has had all
IT could do every day from Monday
until yesterday, and an amount OF
money was paid out that was beyond
the expectation Of everybody. A
reporter, Monday, went the rounds
of the banks and found the aggregate
to be over $175,0OO. The amount
for the previous week was almost as
large, 80 that the sum total for the
two weeks was in the immediate
neighborhood of $3.50, 900.
1.-THE prices paid ranging all the
way from % for the poor stuff that
some people persist in raising, to the
gilt-edged prices brought by the fine
Burley and Pryor that is credit to
the county and the market.
1.-THE greater part Of the deliveries
were made on contracts, but the to-
bacco brought in unsold Jared as
well apparently as that bought at
the barn, good prices prevailing all
along the line and holding up in
spite Of the glut. One thing was no
ticeable among the hundreds OF far
mers, and that was that there was no
sigh of dissatisfaction among them
anywhere. They were all pleased
with the prices obtained and th'
treatment received. at the hands o.
the dealers.
"The paying out of $l75,0O0 in a
single week for tobacco beats all OF
the Third party schemes for increas
ing the per capita; and If the farmers
are not happy during the coming
year it will demonstrate that 1t Is not
money they need to make them so "
The LEAF.CHRONICLE called at
tention some days ago to the fact that
the banks had been paying out much
money here for the last three
weeks for tobacco, and the above
is reproduced to show that
Clarksvllle is not the only place
where money is leaving the bank
vaults and going into the channels
of trade. This is healthy symptom
and shows beyond doubt that times
are better all over the country. The
Christmas holidays Of couise have
caused cessation in business to a
certain extent, but it will open up
nrisk after New Years day. The
impression now prevails with the
merchants and business men that the
trade through January and February
will be better perhaps than it was in
December.

THREW A BOMB.
The Milwaukee Street Railway
Company Loses $5OO,OOO.
Their South Side Plant De-
stroyed by Dynamite.

Fire Breaks Out and the Shattered Build
ings Are Consumed-The Perpetrator OF
the Outrage Supposed to BE Response
BILE for at Least Dozen Disastrous Fires
In the Last Month.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 29.-At 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning bomb was
thrown into the main building of the
South Side plant of the Milwaukee
Street Railway company. There was a
tremendous explosion and in a moment
the interior of the building was in a
blaze. In few minutes the fire was
beyond control, and in less than an
hour the entire plant was consumed,
entailing loss of $4,000.
The street railway company's South
Side plant is located on Kinnickinnic
avenue. 1t includes the immense stor-
age stables for electric motors, the ma
chine shops and the stables. In the
barn were fifty new electric motors and
nearly all the summer cars owned by
the company.
The cars stored in the building were
valued at $3.50, 900, while the structure
itself is worth at least 800, 900. The ma.
chinery is valued at $4,000, while the
stores of the company were kept in the
building and were worth $4,000. The
insurance carried was on the building
and amounts to $40, 1000.
The barns which were destroyed were
the principal depot of the Milwaukee
Street Railway company and the fire
greatly cripples the company.
Who the man was who threw the
bomb is not known. He is supposed to
be the firebug who has started at least
dozen disastrous fires within month.
A grand jury will be summoned to in
vestigate.
The only person who saw the alleged
bomb thrown was Night Watchman
Worden. He says that he was standing
near the main doorway of the barn in
which the motors and cars were stored.
There was whizz of something through
the air, flash and tremendous explo-
sion.
A small cottage next TO the plant of
the street railway company was also de-
stroyed. A woman residing in the house
became paralyzed, and had to be carried
out of the house after It was in flames.
At $3.50 o'clock the Ara was under con-
troll. having been confined by hard work
upon the part of the firemen to the
buildings of the Milwaukee Street Rail-
way company.
Investigation shows beyond doubt
that the fire which Tuesday destroyed
two tanneries, causing loss of $3.50, 600,
and by which two lives were lost, was
incenaiary. This is also the case with
the two fires on Sunday when $l25, 900
worth Of property was destroyed.
