Whisky Trust CoIIapses.

The big crash in the whisky trust has
come at last. Late Monday evening
Judge Grosscup appointed j. Il. Green
hut, of Peoria, and Edward +. Lawrence,
of Chicago, receivers of the concern that
since it's organization has paid more than
S6,OO0,0O0 in dividends, but which, for
the last six months, has been staggering
toward bankruptcy. The application for
Il receiver was made 10y Runnells N
BURY. attorneys. They represented that
holders of 100 shares petitioned for the
appointment of II receiver, and on their
application Judge Grosscup entered an
order delivering the vast properties of the
trust to Greenhut and Lawrence. Mr.
Greenhut, president of the trust, was
with them at the time and formally con-
scented 10 the appointment of receivers.
Although these proceedings were held IN
Chicago Monday evening, nobody learned
what had been done until late Tuesday
afternoon. The first information on the
subject came from New York, and, rather
strangely, from the Offices of a firm of
Wall street brokers. Financiers, and
especially traders on Change, were as
tonished To learn that an Illinois corpora
ton, with Il capital stock of $50, 100000,
had passed into the hands of receivers
without any information of the fact be
ing ascertainable in Chicago. The cir
cumstances were all the more remarkable
In view of the fact that whisky stock has
been one of the most active on the list,
and traders were constantly on the alert
for news of its prospects and condition.

NINE COASTERS BADLY HURT.
Sled CoIIidcs with an Electric Car at
st. LOuis.

A bobsled, laden with young people,
collided with Broadway cable car ut st.
Louis. The sled had gained such veloci-
ty as il sped down the hill from the new
water tower that when it struck the cable
train it knocked the trailer from the
track. The force of the contact threw the
sled under the car and dumped its terri
fed occupants. Fortunately, the grip
man succeeded in stopping the car after
it had gone Il few feet further. The fol-
lowing were injured: Miss Maud Ben
nett, permanently manned, back badly
hurt; Miss IneZ Bethune, right side hurt;

Six Hundred Kuchan Penitents En-
tombed I'm a Mosque While Praying.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Teheran gives further details of the de-
structive earthquakes at Kuchan. The
first shock occurred at noon Thursday,
Jan. IL. This was followed by another,
and In three minutes the town was in
ruins. The loss of life was enormous.
Most of the victims were crushed to
death by falling buildings, but many were
burned TO death, the ruins in which they
were entangled having caught fire. Six
hundred were entombed in mosque
while engaged in prayer. Six hundred
other persons persisted in the various
baths. The survivors could obtain Meth
eli food nor water for three days, the tele-
graph lines having been destroyed. Many
who escaped before being killed by the
earthquake persisted from hunger and ex-
posture. The weather was very cold. Not
a single building remains standing in the
town. Since the 18th the shocks have
been repeated daily. One shock, which
occurred at 6 o'clock the evening of Jan.
%, was equal in severity TO the first one,
which caused the destruction of the city.
The shock of Jan. % was followed by
three others at intervals of from one TO
three hours No shelter of any kind Is
available. No medical assistance, which
is sadly needed, is at present procurable.
but Russian surgeons are proceeding with
all speed to the desolated town of Ash
kabad.

the Department at Washington has put
the naval officers and men, and all others

in pleasurabe excitement, and their ac-
tivity is as great as if declaration Of
war had come to their knowledge. The
order is for the immediate preparation Of
the cruisers Ranger and Alert for sea
voyage. The same order extends TO the
cruiser Boston. The work Of coalng and
provisioning the warships is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, and the equipments
put into perfect condition and with the
utmost care. 1t is thought that the des-
tination of the vessels is Honolulu. The
reason for the belief is the report that

REAP A RICH HARVEST.
Bold Gang of Forgcrs Are at Work
in Chicago.

Bolder and more daring than any swim
dies perpecrated on the banks of Chicago
in many years are the operations of a
gang of forgers whose system was discov-
cred in prominent financial house on La
Sale street. Beginning with the promis-
cuous looting of mail boxes on the busiest
streets in the city, the gang next commits
Il double forgery on all checks and drafts
found in the stolen letters. and completes
the daring work by passing the altered
checks on the biggest banks in town. The
system has been so generally practiced
that John j. Il. Odell president of the
American Bankers Association, adj
dressed n letter to every bank cashier in
the city warning him of the gangs opera
tons and pronouncing the system 1.-THE
most dangerous that has appeared in
many years" AS soon as the forgeries
were discovered the facts were reported
to headquarters of the postoflice secret
service. and the best detectives in Captain
Stuart's division are now searching the
city for leaders of the gang.

Wild Was the Gale.

Chicago went to sleep Friday night
many hours earlier than usual-under a
blanket of snow which refused TO remain
stationary, except in spots, for more than
twenty minutes at time A shrieking
fortymle an hour gale blew "the beau
tifuf' from sky TO earth, half way back
again. and in more directions than the
average compass has points. And when
the snow did settle down it settled for
keeps-settled into drifts as solid as if
packed by strong-armed laborers. Trans
portation companies waged the same old
battle for supremacy. Downtown they
managed to keep things moving, but III
the suburbs il was another story. All
schedules and time tables were lost as
effectually as the rights of way, and cars
only logged along at irregular intervals
by grace of the snow-plows and through
the efforts of from four TO six horses.
Electric lines suffered principally through
the coating of the trolley wires with ice.
Hardly passenger train reached its de-
pot on time and the delay ranged from
one TO five hours. Outgoing trains got
away, but all ran slowly. Communica-
ton with the West was badly broken, but
enough was learned Saturday morning TO
tell that the West had experienced the
worst blizzard known in years.

SHOT FOR DOUBTING SCRIPTURE.
Mississippi Negro Killed for Saying
Christ Didn't Ride an ASS.

At Moorhead, ON the Georgia Pacific
Railway, forty miles east of Greenville,
William Bush, formerly of Europa, Miss,
asked q negro if he believed that Christ
ever rode on an ass. When the negro re-
piled in the negative, Bush pulled his gun
and said: Il will make convert of you"
and shot the negro dead. He took the
first train for Greenvile. j. Nj. Gates,
an officer, was at the depot looking for
him and ordered Bush to throw up his
hands and surrender. Bush tried to draw
his pistol, but before he could get it Gates
shot and killed him. Bush was one of the
robbers who have been at work in Mis-

DOG COMES TO SHORE.
Mute Messenger Arrives from the
Lost Steamer Chicora.

Mute Messenger Arrives from the
Lost Steamer Chicora.
When the Chicora went out of St.
Joseph on its last trip there was a dog
aboard. Sunday the dog was taken into
Benton Harbor alive. Tuesday night the
dog was heard whining at the door of
Scion Cutler who conducts the road
house at Pottowatamie Park. 1t is a
snuff-colored skye terrier. 1t was COW
cred with ice. Cutler took compassion
on the little animal and thawed the ice
off it and rubbed it with vaseline, think
ing its hide had been frozen by the ice.
Mr.. Cutler connected the visit of the
strange dog which had evidently just
come out of the cold water with the loss
of the Chicora and took it TO the city.
The dog was Immediately recognized by
the stevedOres who work on the Graham
docks and by the crew of the Petoskey
as the animal that was aboard the Chi
cora when it left. The dog has been a
tramp passenger on the Graham & Nor
ton Transportation Company's boat for
several months. 1t has been dividing its
time between the Chicora and the Petos-
key this winter Since the dog became
Il passenger on these boats il has never
missed a trip, taking the first boat to
leave. The return of the animal indi-
Gates the Chicora was within a half-mle
of the east shore Tuesday evening, the
second night out. The dog, it is believed,
could not swim more than one-1uarter
mile. The place where the dog came
ashore, Pottowatamie Park, is eight miles
north Of Benton Harbor, lakeside sum-
mer resort. Many are inclined to think
the vessel must have sunk not far from

NEW DANGER TO FRANCE.
Rapid Increase of Radical Power in

Rapid Increase of Radical Power in
Senate and Chamber of Deputies.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times notes the extreme danger Of
the rapid increase of radical power in the
French Parliament. During seven
months the radicals have gained hun
dred votes, and now need only eighty
five to command n majority in the Senate
and twenty-three to command majority
in the Chamber of Deputies. Such a
majority would mean collection Of revo-
lutionary measures, such as the abolition
Of the Senate and the Presidency, an in
quisitorial income tax, and confiscating
separation of church and state which
would be fatal TO any country, especially
when taken in connection with hcen-
tious press and the so-called democrat
