All Reports to the Contrary Pronounced
Arrangement with the Boston & Maine
Mr.. Tucker Says the Maine Road Is
in as Good Condition as Any Running
Out of Boston
Boston, Mass, November 19. = The
Boston News Bureau has asked Vice
President Payson Tucker as to the re-
port that the Maine Central would re-
duce its dividend from per cent to s
per cent Mr.. Tucker denies the report
most emphatically, and writes: "Our
fiscal year ended September 80, and our
report is now in the printers hands. For
the last three months of our fiscal year
we show diminution in gross receipts
caused by the general depression, but it
has been largely met by the reduced cost
OF operation and general expense. Our
reduction in expenses began in June, and
is still in force, and will continue until
receipts are more satisfactory. Our bus
mess now shows improvement and there
never has been any talk or even thought
of reducing dividends. In the future
the quarterly dividends of 1-2 per cent
on the Maine Central stock are as sure to
be paid as the sun is sure to rise and set.
All reports to the contrary are malicious,
and do not bear shadow of truth.
Many improvements have been made,
and the road, rolling, stock and every-
thing are in much better shape than ever
before. The traffic agreement between
the Maine Central and Boston & Maine
went into operation 20 years ago. Rates
in New England were higher than today,
but even at that time, the traffic arrange
ment was considered fair and equitable,
and there never has been complaint from
either party since. Much of the traffic
originates on the line of the Maine Cen
tral, and that company is allowed in the
division the larger proportion of the
through earnings. With the reduction
in rates that has been made, the division
Of through rates between the two COM
panies is now proportionately nearer
equal than at the beginning of the con-
tract. venture to say that the Boston
d Maine has not atraffic arrangement
with any of its connecting lines today,
more profitable or by which it receives in
division, a larger proportion of through
earnings than it now receives under its
contract with the Maine Central. The
Boston & Maine. it is safe to say, does
not propose to disturb its amicable rela-
tions with the Maine Central or impair
its value. 1t would be unnatural for the
parent company to destroy it's own child.
There is no better railroad property in
New England than the Maine Central.
Its physical condition is as good as any
railroad running out of Boston, barring
none. 1t is rich in abundant resources,
and has already developed marvellous
earning power, and its pros
pective value is great. Its
financial condition is good, and I see
nothing to prevent the Maine Central
earning and paying its stockholders 6 per
cent or better for all future time.''

-FOUR BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Others Who Leaped For Their
Lives Will Die.
THEY WERE IN THE Y. nj. G. A.
ROOMS AT MEMPHIS, TENN.

A Lamp Exploded Near the Stairway and
the Flames Made Prison of the Up
per Stories of the BuiIding-One Man
Saved by Telegraph Wire Which
Caught Him as He Fell-The Money
Loss Nearly a Million.
Memphis, Tenn, November 13.-Fire
broke out this evening in the Wetter
block on Main street, and before the
flames were subdued nearly a million
dollars worth of property went up in
smoke. Four lives, it is believed, were
lost, and several persons were injured,
some fatally, in jumping from the burn
ing building. The fire was discovered on
the lower floor in the six story building
occupied by the Schmallsried Hardware
company. The second, third, fourth and
fifth stories were occupied by the Young
Mems Christian Association. 1t was in
this place that the loss of life occurred.
The, fire started from the explosion ola
large oil lamp near the stairway and in
three minutes the entire front of the
building, was in flames. ALI means of
were in the library when the alarm was
given. They made a rush for the Main
street exit, to be driven back by the
flames They next rushed in bunch
for the windows at the rear of the bull
ding, but the flames had spread SO rapid
ly that the .sashes of three of the win
dows were already on fire. One man
jumped and was caught on a telegraph
wire and rescued. He was followed by
three others who fell to the pavement
below. At this juncture, the firemen
arrived with ladders, which were quickly
run up to the windows. Three men were
rescued, but before the others could be
saved the flames burned the ladders and
the remainder perished in the building.
The names of the killed cannot be
learned tonight and may never be known.
The seriously injured are:
A. K. Perkins, secretary of the Y M. G.
A., skull crushed and internallysinjured;
leg and right arm broken; will die.
Charles Watkins, janitor, internally in
jured; legs and arms broken; will die.
William Boardman, leg broken and in
ternally injured, may die.
CIR. White, arm broken and in tr nally
injured, will probably recover. /.
A number of others were injured but
none fatally. Secretary Perkins came
here a few years ago from Pittsfeld,
Mass, where his mother resides. The
fire spread to the building occupied by
Lemon and Galen, wholesale druggists
and their stock will be a total loss.

to collect specimens of the flora and fau-

along the shore, found two cairns near
the spot where the Ripple had gone to

EUROPE AND THE ANARCHISTS.
All Doors Closed to Them Since the Bar
celona Outrage.

Berlin, November 13.-Berlin, in COM
mon with the rest of Europe, has this
week been discussing the Anarchists and
their recent activity. The German
branch of the organization has been very
quiet recently, and the vigilance of the
police has reduced the outrages in the
empire to nil. The Barcelona outrage
will harm the organization in Europe.
Already the prosecution has commenced.
The Anarchists have been ordered out
of Spain. Where can they go? France
has guards on the lookout for them; TIA
ly will adopt drastic measures if they at
tempt to make a settlement in her terri
tory; Austria-Hungary will imprison all
who attempt to propagate the doctrine
in her territory, and Germany will have
none of them. England, with its less
strong form of government, has not as
yet pronounced on the subject, but that
she can afford to harbor such dangerous
criminals as those guilty of the recent
outrages in Spain is unlikely, for they
will not appreciate her liberties but be-
gin to conspire against her before they
are rightly settled on her soil. To cross
the seas to America seems the only hope
left to the Anarchists, as the dastardli-
ness of the Barcelona affair has incensed
all Europe. The Anarchists do not care
to go to the United States. They will be
then too far away from the objects of
their individual wrath-the rulers and
loyal people of the country in which the
Anarchist was born. Then, too, the CON
spirators have seen that even in the fire.
est land on the globe they receive scant
courtesy when they commit an overt act.
There was meeting. in London few
nights ago of the Anarchists of that city.
The speakers ranted at all the European
governments, and at that of the United
States, but not so strongly at the latter
because, as one of the speakers said,
1.-THE cause' was making rapid headwav
there, and already man in full svmpa,
thy with the principles of the Anarchists
was the governor of one of the greatest
states.
