BROKERS AT FOOT BALL.
Police Called i'm to Drive the Brokers
on the Floor.

There was an exciting scene yesterday on
younger members. owing to the slackness
of business. introduced foot ball upon the
floor of the exchange and a lively time fol-
lowed. This did not suit the views OF the
older members of the exchange. who after
a short play, interfered, took the ball away
from the younger members and finally put
II up after sharp sculfie during which the
young brokers made a desperate attempt to
regain possession Of the ball.
The disturbance on the floor of the ex-
change eventually became too great and the
officers sent for q force of police in order to
clear the floor. About thirty policemen
responded to the call and marched in a body
upon the exchange floor, Kissed and hooted
by the younger members they did so. Fin
ally one of the sportive young members Sc
cured loaf of bread of very large size from
became so enraged that they charged upon
the merchants and attempted to clear the
hall. This served to reunite the older and
younger merchants as a whole, and they re-
sisted the efforts of the police to drive them
off the floor.
A fierce fight followed, during which a
crowd OF several thousand people assembled
around the Corn Exchange, cheering the
merchants and kissing and hooting the
police. The latter, however, managed to
force the brokers and merchants out of the
five merchants and millers, who were taken
to the police station, followed by a large
crowd of corn brokers. merchants and mil
lers who were in sympathy with them.
The five prisoners later In the day were re-
leased on bail.

jury in the Monson murder case has return
ed verdict Of mot proven"
Lord justice clerk. the Right Hon. ]. H.
A. Mcdonald. before whom and a jury the
trial Of Alfred John Monson for the murder
of Lieut.. Hambrough has been held, sum-
med up the evidence for the benefit Of the
jury today. He said that the evidence
against accused was purely crcumstantial
and therefore it was necessary that there
should be no flaw or break in the chain OF
testimony. The case, he added, unveiled q
dark side of social life. Maj. Hambrough,
father OF the deceased, had run through
his means, and his life interest in certain
property had been mortgaged to pay his
cebts Thus he was unable to educate his
son, except by arranging for postponed pay
ments to the accused. After his son had
been placed in the care of Monson Mai
Hambrough came to distrust the accused
ana desired to remove his son. The latter
naturally preferred living with people who

Lodgings occupied by his parents Hence
there was certain estrangement between
rather and son. which placed the latter fur
ther under the influence of Monson.

MANY NARROW ESCAPES.


Explosion of Kerosene Can Causes
Fire I'm a Mine.
PEORIA. ILL.,, Dec. Plate yesterday
there was an explosion In the main shaft
OF the Chicago and Minonk Coal Mining
Company. and the lives Of a large number
OF men were imperiled. The shaft was run
ming full time. with force of 300 men, and
at the time George Erbland, one of the
men. struck a match for the purpose of
lighting his torch. He was standing near a
large can Of kerosene, which he had not no
ticed.
Instantly there was a fearful explosion,
which was heard In many sections of the
mine. Erbland was blown many feet, and
was so seriously injured that his chances
for recovery are very slight. His clothing
ignited and he was fearfully burned.
Companions who were near succeeded in
rescuing him, but nothing could be done
with the spreading flames.
Everything in the vicinity was saturated
with the oil. and the supports and cars near
by were soon in a mass of flames, spreading
the fire to the coal itself.
The mine rapidly filled with smoke, and
the men who had not heard the explosion
were Immediately made aware of their dan
ger. There was a wild rush for the main
shaft.
The carriages were taxed to their utmost
Many thrilling escapes are related. but all
the men were able to get out.
The fire spread through the entire mine
and nothing whatever can be done toward
extinguishing the flames.
The calamity falls very heavily on the
town on account Of so many men being
thrown out of employment.
1t is impossible to form an estimate of
what the loss will amount to. but 1t will
certainly be thousands Of dollars.

To Protect the CHIP, Boys,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
For humanity's sake. allow me to call your
attention and that Of the readers of your ex-
cellent paper to the boys who have charge
Of the horses to draw the herdics up Cap
itol Hill. Those poor boys are exposed to
the cold, and all kinds of weather, the year
round, from early morn until after mid
night. They have no shelter while they
are waiting at the bottom of the hill. Why
can there not be a small house built for
them, and a small stove put in it to make
them comfortable? Those boys will be like
old men before they are thirty years of
age, If they endure their sufferings to live
that long. 1t is all unnecessary to allow
them to be exposed as they are. The boys
think the herdic company would build a
small house and furnish fuel If the au-
thorities would allow the building to be put
up. And think the privilege will be grant
ed If their attention is called to the con-
dition of those poor, brave, suffering boys
