DEMURRAGE.
Providence Merchants Protest Against
the Arbitrary Law Of the Car Service
Association.

Providence Merchants Protest Against
the Arbitrary Law of the Car Service
Association.
A public hearing was held yesterday
afternoon by the transport alton commit
tee Of the Rhode Island Business Mems
Association at the associations rooms on
the following. which had been re erred to
them:
Resolved, That the Rhode Island Business
Mems association look into and inquire the
effect OF the new penalties imposed in the form
of demurrage charges by the so-caled Rhode
Island Car Service Associatio and report
what modification, If any, is desirable.
Also, what legislation, IL any, is necessary
TO protect the business interests of this city
ana State against freight Determinations and
undue detention in transit now practiced by
railroad corporations in this state.
In this state there is no law of demur-
rage to regulate the charges which rail
road companies may Impose. The COM
ranies have AN arbitrary law OF their own
aud charge those VINO receive goods 81
per hour for every carload left in the car
after forty-eight hours from the time the
goods are ready to be unloaded. This
time, the speakers thought, was not long
enough, and the laws in other states,
where the time is longer than in Rhode
Island, were cited.
William +. Knight, chairman of the
transportation committee presided over
the meeting.
A. b. McCrilIis. of the firm Of McCril-
lis, knight q Co., thought that the
present system of the Car Service Ass =
citation was better than the old one but
yet was too arbitrary. No provision was
made for errors which might result from
carelessness or negligence on the part OF
the railroad empoyes III freight was
delayed the sale might be lost, and the
merchants received no remuneration.
The railroads treated Providence as
though 1t we're n way station and not the
depot Of supplies for all the manufac-
turing towns IN the state. He thought
that the manager of the Car Service
Association made things needlessly OBJ
noxious for the merchants.
Other speakers were: C. A. Barden of
Barden & Keep, -four merchants; j. S.
Kenyon of Burrows & Kenyon, lumber
dealers; G. G.. Garlner OF Potter & Gard
the Pawtucket Baking Company. Henry
c. Bangs, secretary of the Congdon g.
Carpenter Company; Mr. Wildwood OF
Wildwood e. Son, wholesale fish dealers;
j. G. GoH, masun's materials.
John Shepard, Jr, moved that a com
mittee represen ing the business inter
esls of the State be appointed by this
meeting consisting of the present trans
portation committee Of the II. l. Business
Mems Association, and "A. Il. McCrillis
and James S. Kenyon, and that
they take such action as they
shall deem most likely to secure
time limit of ninety.six hours
excluiing Sundays, holidays and incle-
ment weather which would prove de-
structive to the merchandise Co be re-
moved, and to secure such other modifi-
cations rs they shall believe TO he for the
best interests OF the merchants.
The motion was passed ana the hearing
was adjourned

the Salt Lake theater this evening.
About 8 O'Clock Oscar B. Young, the
crazy son of the Mormon prophet. Brig
ham Young, burst open the door OF the
theater box Office. Before the aston
ished treasurer and manager could col
lect themselves. Young strode into the
theater, around to the stage, and dashed
across the stage. The curtain was down
and the actors we're dressing for tha sec

ruehed and .atood .rothing in passion be-
fore Harry Connor, "Welland Strong"
of the play. After trying to lock the
door be demanded the key of Connor. :
ssI'll teach you to 90 to New York and
talk about the Danites," he said:
With a torrent of oaths the madman
pressed upon Connor. Instantly recog-
nizing that he was in the presence of q
madmsn, Connor gave quick leap out
of the door. The ladies in the adjoining
rooms screamed.
At this moment the property man,
Antoine Mazzanovich, match in
strength and size for Young, leaped up
on the mailman from behind and pin
ioned him. just then a boy was pass
ing with two swords used in the play.
With strength born of madness, Young
released himself, grabbed a sword and
commenced plunging at those around
him. Again the massive property man
caught him from behind and at the
same time catching the hilt of the
sword. Those ladies who had not tainted
rushed to their roome.
Don't lynch me. don't lynch me !"
cried Young. He was forced into the
street, a policeman called, and, still
raving, was carried to the station.
Young has long been regarded as daft
and of late has shown dangerous ten

gard it as lucky that he was overcome
in the stage encounter, as he is giant
in strength. Young's present spell is
said to be the result of financial troubles.
He had no acquaintance with any of the

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The Associated Press
has obtained copy of a violent mani
iesto which French anarchists in Lon
don have secretly prepared for distribu-
tion In Paris. The manifesto is headed ::
"Dynamitards to the Panama crew."
The manifesto says:
s'The first dynamite explosion will
not be the lsst foz you wretches. Since
1871, when, you converted Paris into a
charnel house and massacred So, 900 pro-
letariats the republic has been turned
into den of thieves, directed success
sively by the scoundrel Theirs, the
brute MacMahon, the thief Grevy and
the manikin Carnot, while the
poor hounds below were condemned
to white slavery or die of
starvation in the streets. Do you think
such things can endure? No; revolu-
tion will devour you. We, whom you
have outlawed, will come to the rescue
OF the starving and duped poor who
cannot wait patiently like the labor
deputies, so-called, because they had no
work. These idiotic and renegade
deputies declared recently that you
would have them shot like rabbits, but
they decline to be blown up with you.
Don't hold the miserable Socialists re-
sponsible for the dynamite. They only
want to enrich themselves, like you."
After further announcement of the
Socialists the manifesto proceeds to de-
scribe the bourgeois class, saying they
are worse than dung. and we warn
those who are demanding the death PEN
atty for valiant, who followed the knife
of Lauthier with the bomb thrown in
