Two Strangers.

H A Bennett, 4 carpenter at 400
Fourth street north, is in a peck of
trouble through befriending two stran-
gers. giving the names of Hollis and w.
&. Baynes. Bennett says he allowed
these two men to use a portion of his
carpenter shop for manufacturing
lounge frames, he 10 receive half the
proceeds from their sales. Baynes and
Hollis supplied the Portland Bedding
company and w. S. Rolph with a GER
tain number of frames, and suddenly
left town. after having obtained from
the former two notes for $40 and from
the latter a note for $50. Baynes in
formed Bennett that he was going out
OF the city for d few days and that his
lawyer would divide with him the pro-
ceeds of the notes, one OF which falls
due today. as per the original agree
ment that Bennett should have half
the proceeds of the sales. The lawyer
refuses to surrender them, and Ben
nett thinks the promise was only a
trick TO throw him off his guard. He
has since discovered that Baynes and
Hollis sold ffty-three frames which
have never been accounted for, and
others whose number he has not yet
been able to ascertain.
Mr.. Bennett also charges Hollis with
stealing a valuable overc0at, and both
he and his partner with taking

Stockholders of the Minnesota Fire
Insurance Company of Minneapolis,
formerly the Syndicate Insurance
company, have decided to close out
its affairs if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made for the reinsur-
ance of the business. The Minnesota
Fire is operated by the Caledonian In
surance company, under a stock con-
tract, and it is through this COM
pany that the reinsurance is being
offered. Western Manager Stark, of
the Caledonian, was in Chicago Tues
day making overtures for the dis
posal of the business, but it could
not be learned last evening that a
deal had been closed.
The Minnesota Fire was organized
in 1886 as the Syndicate Insurance
company, with $25O,OO0 capital, and
some of the best citizens of the city
as stockholders. Jacob Stone, now a
local agent at Minneapolis, was sec
retary and general manager. The
business of the company grew rapidly
too rapidly, in fact-and in 1891 a
reduc ton in capital of $50, 900 was vot-
ed to overcome an impairment. Not
long afterward contract was en-
tered into with the agara-Caledon-
ian combination, under the terms Of
which dividends of per cent were
guaranteed for a term of years, and
when the separation came the con-
troll passed into the hands of the Cal
edonian officials.
1t was then thought advisable to at
once curtail the business, and the
company withdrew from half a dozen
states and reinsured its business, con-
tinuing only in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Chicago and St. Louis. 1t is
now understood that the contract
with the Caledonian is about to ex-
pire, and, as the expense of conduct
ing the small business is quite large,
the stockholders have decided to close
out the business entirely and retire
the company.
Since the change in the control of
the Minnesota, the management has
been in the hands Of ]. C. Moodey,
who was chief clerk in the Western
department offices of the Niagara in

TO DEPOSE THE SULTAN.
Sensational Hand Bills In Circu-

LONDON, Dec. 26-The Daily News

of which declares that the evidence
leaves no doubt that there was a well

the Yildiz palace, to plunder and burn
all the American buildings and to rem

from Constantinople, under date Of
Dec. 25, says: Last evening hand
bills were profusely scattered and
thrust into windows and carriages and
into the pockets of pedestrians an
nouncing the imminent deposition of
the sultan. The jewelers. of Stamboul,
fearing a commotion, closed their
shops for the whole day.
As an outcome of the meeting of the
ambassadors to devise means to pre-
vent the massacre of the inhabitants
OF Zeitoun, which the palace attempts
to justify by publishing mendacious
statements of atrocities committed by
Zeitounlis, Baron Calico, the Austrian
ambassador, went to the porte today
and impaired to the grand vizier the
earnest hope Of the powers that no
extreme measures would be taken
against the Zeitounlis. M. Nelidoff,
the Russian ambassador, had an au-

LOSS A MILLION.
Great Suffering in the Flooded
District.

ELDORA, Mo-, Dec. 25.-To the farm
ers who live along the banks of the
Usage river in Central Missouri this
Christmas brought only woe and
gloom. The unprecedented rise in the
river of thirty-five feet in three days
has spread all over this section, and
MANY farmers have to lose everything
they possess. Some of them had their
corn in shocks, others in cribs. The
floods have taken all that lay in the
low lands Not only have many OF the
farmers lost their crops, but their stock
and buildings as well. At Bagnell, the
end of the Lebanon branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the river is three miles
wide and no train has been able to
get within a mile and a half of the
town for four days. That town and
this is shut off entirely from tele-
graphic communication with the out
side world.
At Tuscombia, the county seat of
MiIlyera. a terrible condition exists.
The town is partially under water.
Only the roofs of many buildings, the
postoffice among them, can be seen.
A large Touring mill, the printing Of
flee of the local paper and several
small stores and residences are en-
firely submerged. Twenty cars load
ed with railroad ties are standing on
side tracks at Bagnell, and there are
thousands of ties floating about in
ghe river and backwater. The loss to
property in this immediate section is
estimated at 81, 600. 900. The river Is high
er than even during the famous flood
of 1874. The suffering Of the people
whose land and property has been de-
yastated will undoubtedly be terrible
this winter.

Children Cry for

INDIAN TIGER STORY.
This Case Quite True and Some
what Out of the Common.

Inc Asian.
Our Mysore correspondent writes:
There was considerable excitement
here recently. One of the Mahara's
tigers got loose and was not recap
tured for forty-eight hours. Allow
ing tigers and other wild animals to
escape out of confinement seems
rather a common occurrence in My
sore. During the time of the late
Maharajah one got out of his cage in
the menagerie, and also during his
fathers reign tiger loafed all over
the fort a whole day, going in and
out Of peoples houses, but strange
to say, on none of these occasions
has any one been injured. The tiger
in the present instance is one which
is kept in his highness' dairy to keep
away the evil eye from the cattle.
He was netted for Lord Lansdowne
to shoot when his excellency visited
Mysore a few years ago, aN is a
splendid brute. The dairy is a very
large yard, with open sheds all round
in which cattle are tried, the tigers
cage being close to one end and
fountain near the other. The tiger
got out about p. m. and calmly
stroIled round, the place being full
| of cattle and people at the time;
fut, fortunately, he had no desire
whatever to taste stall-fed beef or
Hindu either, although he passed
within a few feet of the cows and
men, and, after examining them all
quietly, lay down by the fountain.
By 8 o'clock a couple of elephants
brought down nets, and Gordon was
run round the place, preventing the
tiger escaping or getting at the cat
tie, when two rather amusing Incl
dents occurred. A COW managed to
get into the yard. and after skipping
about for some time rushed into a
part of the net closest to the tiger,
and for some time struggled most
frantically to get loose. Every one
fully expected the cow would have
been killed.
Finally, however, a number of men
went out and held the wretched ami
NAL down and removed the net. Hard
ly was this over when a splendid stud
bull got over part of the net which
had fallen down, and, after careening
about the yard just as the COW had
done, rushed right up to the fountain
and dipped his nose into the water.
Evidently he had no idea the tiger
was there, or he would never have
gone up in the style he did. However,
after drinking, he looked up, when the
tiger who could not have been more
than a few feet away, 'woughed' in
his face, and the way that bull went
away after that did ones heart good
to see. These were two grand oppor-
tunfties for witnessing how the tiger
seizes his prey particularly as there
were several sportsmen about, but un-
fortunately it was not to be.
"After worrying the poor brute for
two days and two nights, during which
time he got into the net once, he quiet
