1 New Combine Effected to Control
Price Of Bricks.
A BOMBSHELL IN HAVERHILL,
Kennebec Landlords Refuse Co Take Out
Inkeeper's License, and Threaten to
Close Their ~Places-Kemp Acquitted

Boston, May 30. Another combination,
known as the Boston Consolidated Brick
company, has been formed to control the
price Of bricks. 1t includes Parry Bros. 81
Co, with two yards in Cambridge and one
over the Belmont line; M. w. Sands and
Che Bay State Brick company, both with
yards also in Cambridge. These three
virtually control the market, so far as
Boston Is concerned.
The charter of the company was obtained
during the first week of this month, when
the company was organized, with q capital
of slo0, 900, shares being held In equal por-
tions by the three parties In interest. John
u. Parry of Parry Bros. e. Co. was chosen
president, M. w. Sands vice-president, and
III. p. Mallory, the treasurer Of the Bay
State Brick company, will be treasurer of
the combination.
The business OF Parry Bros. g. Glidden,
who have heretofore sold the brick Of
Parry Bros. & Co. and much of theso-
called eastern brick, was transferred tothe
new corporation and contracts made for
che entire output Of Parry Bros. e. Co.,
che Bay State Brick company and M. w.
Sands.
All the leading Of brick In
this market have received a circular con-
tanning the announcement OF the consol-
ldation. The announcement was also
made, in reply to all inq uiries from con-
sumers, that the price Of hard brick would
hereafter be 50 per 1000.
Al least 100, O0O, 900 brick must be nsed in
this market during the remainder of the
year, which means that wherever brick Is
employed In construction there will be q
total increase Of cost of construction Of
100000, unless the builders succeed In
breaking'the combination.

carriage rooms were destroyed. Twenty
three horses were burned and a large
quantity of wood in bundles, which was
stored in the building, was also destroyed,
together with harness and wagons. Total
loss by the blaze is estimated at $4,000.

TO do by Mr.. Mitchell, the agent of the

houses before they will take out licenses.
One landlord thinks an injustice would be
lone by requiring Kennebec hotels to pro-
cure licenses, while those In other sections

FIREMEN INJURED.
Three Are Badly Injured at New
York Fire.
Nine Have a Narrow Escape from Death
as High Wall CoIlapses-A
Warehouse Burns.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A New York dis
patch says Story & Co.'s five-story ware
house, on Washington and Main streets,
caught fire at 2:30 this morning. Three
alarms have been turned in. The build
ing was used by merchants in the vicinity
for the storage of cotton and rice. One
wall of the building has fallen and buried
fifteen men in the ruins. Other firemen
were set to work digging them out. The
fifteen men are supposed to be dead or
badly burned. 1t is impossible TO give
the names of the killed as yet.
Those known to have been seriously in
jured are Pipemen Coyle, Robertson,
Ronald and McCarren, all of Truck No.
6. When the men were removed from the
ruins they were instantly placed on am
balances and hurried away to the hos.
pital. They presented horrible sight
and if appearances count for anything it
is doubtful if any of them recover. A
score OF fremen are working with ali
their might to rescue those still in the
debris.
AT the time the wall fell large num-
Der of firemen were fighting the flames on
that side OF the warehouse to prevent
them spreading to the adjoining soap fac
tory. When the wall began to crack,
some one shouted to the working firemen
to run for their lives. The warning came
too late, for before half of them reached a
place of safety the awful mass of brick
and timbers came crashing down on them.
A call was sent for more fireman to aid
in digging out the unfortunate men. In
a few minutes they succeeded in rescu-
ing four of truck No. S's meu and at this
hour are still engaged in making every
effort to rescue the buried men.
1t is believed eleven men are still under
the ruins and probably they will be dead
before they can be rescued. The loss is
estimated at $500, 600.
The report that fifteen firemen were
under the ruins proves to have been ex-
aggerated, but nine firemen had a narrow
escape from instant death. They were
all painfully injured and three are likely
to die. The injured were all removed to
st. Vincent's hospital.

MORE BREAD RIOTS.
Amsterdam Police Have Desperate Fight
With Rioters.

WIN
AMSTERDAM. Jan. 20.-The unem-
ployed workingmen of this city held
procession today. The socialists had
much If not all to do with the procession,
and when it started many began to bawl
socialistic songs. The procession as it
progressed grew noiser and more demon
strative as the police did not interfere
Finally mob stopped in front of large
bakery and attempted to take the place by
storm. A number of police were quickly
on the scene and prevented the footing of
the shop. The police allowed two men to
enter the bakery and ask for bread from
the proprietors and were met with
prompt and decided refusal. Finally
the mob became so disorderly body
that 200 police attempted to dispense
them. They resisted and a desperate
melee ensued, and several gen d armes
were injured. The police with drawn
swords, repeatedly charged the crowd and
inflicted many sword cuts on the rioters.
The procession was finally broken up,
but even then the isolated batch of rioters
continued lighting for hours after the
leaders were captured. The affair has
caused much excitement in the city and
further trouble is feared.
Until II O'Clock tonight the police were
busy in all parts of the city charging
with drawn swords upon disorderly
crowds. Throughout the city revolu-
tionary hand bills are scattered broadcast
and posted on the walls and trees. More
trouble is looked for tomorrow.

Scored.

The Gentleman from Aspen Is ROundly
Scored
ASPEN, Colo, Jan. 2O.-George Hager-
man, one of the best known mining men
of the state and a large stakeholder in
the Pontiac Mining company, in speak
of the transaction of Senator B. Clark
Wheeler today in connection with that
company, said in response to Senator
Wheeler's assertion that the transaction
was legitimate one and that he owned a
majority of the Pontiac stock,
ssHe is not the owner OF the majority of
the Pontiac stock and he did not give the
other stockholders any opportunity to
purchase any of the treasury stock as he
said he did, but took it all and has not
paid for it yet. The board of directors
were mere dummies in his hands.
Look at the list: r. w. Crockett, E. w.
Young, A. J. Peck and himself and wife.
The first three owned one share each and
are salaried employees in the Times print
ing office, which is owned by Mr..
Wheeler, and the whole history of their
official term shows that they were merely
'sstraw'' men, doing without question
what they were hidden. The whole trans
action is grossly fraudulent on its face
and is too manifest for any sort of ques-
ton.
sit is agreed to take the 200, 900 shares
in order to provide fund for develop
ment purposes. Why did he take the
whole number of shares at once? Why
did he not take only such as it was neces-
sary to sell to pay current expenses and
nav for the shares in cash as he took
them?
ssWhy, at the rate the work was being
done on the Pontiac under the Wheeler
managers 800, 200 represented By the sale
of the 200, 600 shares, if it had been paid
into the treasury OF the company in cash
would have kept up the work for several
wears to come. His state ment
in his bill of particulars is simply ridicu-
Ious, and if he thinks the stockholders of
the Pontiac company can be so easily
hoodwinked he will find he has reckoned
hastily.
ssBut Mr.. Wheeler says all his actions
were sanctioned by the board of directors.
"Well, 1 suppose it was. He pressed
the button and they did the rest"
ssWell. what is to be the outcome OF all
this? was asked.
81 am not at liberty to say what will be
done, or whether anything will be at
tempted, but the probability is that the
matter will be heard of further along"
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Wheeler
sold zoo, ZOO shares OF stock valued at 40
cents per share, to the Continental
Divide Mining company, taking its note

Mayor Baskin is once more placed in the
embarrassing position of clambering up

was passed over the mayors veto last
night, and the trip will be commenced
Sunday morning. The itinerary IS all
made up and in the hands of Recorder
Stanton, but he declined to allow HER
AID reporter to see it yesterday, stat
ing it was a trifie premature, and un-
til the itinerary was printed, it
would not be given for publication.
No particular committee has been ap-
pointed to go, but each member of the

by making application for birth in the

bers are undecided about going, but
