Too Great for the Northern Pacific Rail
road to Bear-The Entire Property In the
Hands of the Courts-Heavy Deficit Last
Year.
THE Northern Pacific railroad has passed
into the hands of receivers. An injunction
has also been issued restraining the officers
of the road from interfering with the receiv-
ers in their management of the property.
For the fiscal year ending June. 80, 1892, the
gross earnings were $3l, 1886 and the ex-
penses $50, l65 900. Just 1871 ,S92 was paid

1884 1888. In the year just ended there was
a deficit of S5i0,066. The present liabilities
of the company are very heavy, and in
order to preserve its land grant and fran
chise it was necessary to place the property
in judicial custody.

DESTRUCTTTE FIRE
In Buffalo, n. Y.-One of the Largest Ele-

NatOrs III tht Country BUfHtUs
THE Coatsworth elevator in Buffalo, n.
Y having capacity of 10000 bushels and
valued at $3.50, 600, was totally destroyed by
fire last week Wednesday, The fire started
shortly after three o'clock in the tower,
and the flames, being out of reach of the
fremen, spread to every part of the roof
and then worked their way downward.
The Kellogg elevator and big lumber
ward were on fire several times, but the
flames were extinguished before gaining
any great Roadway. AT half past four
o'clock the elevator building fell in, and
the sheet of flame being thus lowered and
famed by a high wind jumped into row of
seventeen small buildings on the west side
of Michigan street, ten or dozen OF which
were destroyed. The loss on these is about
$4,000. The total loss is estimated at $780,
600 and is fairly well covered by insurance.

Purposely Crippled to Use as Beggars.
A GANG of villains were arrested last
week, in a town near Vienna, Austria, for
mutiating young children. The men have
for years made trade of crippling children
and then sending them out to beg, or selling
them to others for the same purpose. The
children were stolen, or entceG to a house
kept by the gang on the outskirts of the
town. When the police raided the premi-
ses they found two girls, of twelve or four
teen years, with their legs broken, another
girl of about the same age lay bound on
bed with her right arm broken and both
eyes gouged out. Two other children,
hardly less horribly mutilated, were found
on cots, in the cellar. Many Instruments,
which had been used in producing physical
deformities, were discovered.

CHARLES l.. MEYER was the proprietor
of saloon in Cooper street. Brooklyn,

shelter to any of the women and children
on that street who had been rendered home

eliminated in the riot in the evening, in
which Meyers saloon was demolished after
much of its contents had been destroyed.
The rioters were only dispersed after several
