An unprecedented riot upset business
on the Berlin bourse yesterday. Trade was
proceeding as usual when Oscar Meyer. a
broker, appeared on the floor. At once

canes and beat him and hustled him about
and eventually, amid shouts Of Turn him
Outi' and Down with the rascali' drove
him to seek refuge in the press room,
whence he was rescued by the committee
and hurried away under police protection.
Meyer is said to have inspired the Bourse
Journal to charge certain dealers with
making false quotations and conducting
business in dishonest manner generally.

tion, together with Minister Koeller's de-
fiant utterances in the Reichstag, are
taken by many radicals and social demo-
Gratis to indicate that the government is
steering straight for a parliamentary con-

men in the mine. Without loosing any
time he ran to the telephone and gave the
alarm in the mine. The footman at the
bottom of the shaft told the miners to
throw down their tools and get on the cage

flames had surrounded the engineer on all
sides. lie patiently awaited the signal to
hoist the men to the surface

the cage with lightning speed. Eighteen
men were aboard. The carriage was then
returned to the mine for the second load

brought up. The sides of the building now
collapsed, and the burning timbers fell
all around the brave engineer, who still
held the lever. At last the remaining men
got on the, cage, and in a few minutes
all were brought to the surface safely
The engineer tainted from the excitement
and exhaustion, but was quickly rescued
by the members of the local FIRE depart
ment, who had now reached the scene.

hands, but will recover. The fire caused
damage to the property amounting to
