ANOTHER RUMOR DENIED.
Hamburg A American Packet Company
Has Another Contradiction.

Has Another Contradiction.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 1S94.-Emil Boas,
General Passenger Agent of the Hamburg
American Packet Company, said today that
he had just received cable despatch from the
offices of the company at Hamburg request
ing him to deny the rumor' that the company
is to start a line of steamers between Liver
pool and New York Mr.. Boas could give
no further explanation of the cablegram.
1t was not .'rumor'' but an official circu-
lar, issued by the Hamburg American Steam
ship Company and scattered over England
during the past month, that stated that the
company was to start weekly freight and
immigrant service between Liverpool and
New York. Steamship men here wonder
what the Hamburg American Company mean
by making such contradictory statement.
The first statement said that the company
was building four new steamers, it was
thought, for Liverpool service. Mr.. Boas
said today they were to ply between Ham
burg and New York.
Some of the steamship agents believed
that the company had issued the first state-
ment solely for the effect it would have on
the members of the English lines in the con-
ference going on in London to form pool
ing arrangement between the English and
Continental lines. Mr.. Boas' cablegram
caused considerable surprise.

THE HORSE JUMPED THE FENCE

Crawford street is but too blocks in length
and runs from Storm to Summit avenues. A
board fence about four high, for some
reason or other, has been built across
the street, midway between the
two avenues. Yesterday a horse
belonging to Baker Martin ran away
on Summit avenue. He turned into Craw
ford street and ran until he came to the
fence. People who were watching the run
away expected that the fence would stop the
horse. On the contrary, he seemed to hesitate
for the space of about one second, and then
rising high in the air cleared the obstruction.
The shafts broke and the horse hung on one
de of the fence while the wagon hung on
Ine other. The horse was not hurt.
