OLD GLORY KISSED.
An American Manager With Grit.
Old Glory or Nothing.

NEW YORK, Jan. Gone of +. f..
Rice's productions is called 1892, .
and it is thoroughly American.
Queen Isabelle of Spain in ''l492"
-lS96-wears costumes of Fifth
avenue style, and Columbus,
wrapped in stars and stripes, lands
in Madison Square on an up-to-
date voyage of discovery. There
is an enhancing Columbian march
in another act, where pretty girls
wear very little except stars and
stripes of about the dimensions
usually used to decorate patriotic
Christmas trees.
Mr.. Rice sent his show to Canada
last week. 1t took all of its flags
with it. Everything went well
until Monday night, when the
weeks engagement was began in
the Academy of Music, Montreal.
There Mr.. Rice expected the show
to do profitable business. His
amazement, therefore, knew no
bounds that night when he re-
ceived in his Broadway office the
following telegram:
"Great uproar caused tonight by
the Columbia March, The big
audience Missed and jeered the
American flag and the Goddess of
Liberty, and refused to allow the
performance to be continued until
the American emblems were re-
N, ox-aJ frny, tho cta~o yUh,p clo1 n
/ do? GEORGE WADLEY,
Manager"
The following message was
flashed back:
"Give them the American flag or
no show. +. 4. RICE.o
Early this morning Mr.. Rice
rushed down to the Office of Lawyer
Hess. He was determined to make
an international issue of it. He
instructed Mr.. Hess to draw up an
appeal to the state department,
and Mr.. Hess did it. Mr.. Rice next
went out and bought several gross
of American flags, together with
the finest old glory silk he could
find. These he packed in his trunk
and at 6p. m. he boarded New
York Central train for Montreal.
Before starting Mr.. Rice said he
intended to decorate the theatre
with American flags tonight, and,
moreover, he should drive from
the railway station to his hotel in
a cab festooned with the American
colors. Rice's friends say he will
carry out his threat if he has to
cancel the entire Canadian tour of
the "l492" company.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Street Car Full of Passengers
Plunged to Death.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. "a
terrible accident occurred on the
Akron, Bedford and Cleveland
Electric railway, near Bedford,
shortly after o'clock this morn
ing. A heavy motor car and coal
car plunged through a trestle over
Thinkers creek, hurting a large
number of passengers distance of
rs feet into the chasm below. Two
men were instantly killed, and a
number were seriously wounded.
When about half way across the
trestle, the passengers felt sway
ing motion of the car, and the next
moment the light steel structure
collapsed, and the cars, with their
human load, went with a crash to
the creek below. The cars were
completely wrecked. The Bedford
power house force hurried to the
assistance of the injured, and be-
gan extricating them from the
wreck as rapidly as possible. The
cause of the collapse of the bridge
is not yet known. The dead are
VIM. Young, of Cuyahoga Falls;
body terribly mangled; and ID. Y.
Haymaker, of Gallon, Ohio. In
jured: Chas. Gibe, leg and arm
broken and injured internally.
Special cars were run from this
city and Akron, carrying physi.
clans, and all help that could be
done for the injured was done by
the railroad company. 1t is gem
orally believed the car jumped the
track and the jar caused the iron
girders of the bridge to snap.
Later-Reports show that there
were no passengers on the motor,
and that only the crew, consisting
of three men, went down in the
wreck

Knocked Down sugar.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9. The Ameri.
can Sugar Refining company gave
Wall street surprise today by re-
ducing prizes B@3-l6s, most Of the
decline being on the soft grades.
This action threw the brokers COM
pletely out in their calculations.
They do not know whether 20 ex-
pect further decline, but many
buyers throughout the country are
sending in orders to purchase at
the decline. 1t is supposed that
the chief reason for putting prices
down is to influence the raw sugar
market, which has been very firm,
and refiners are very anxious to
buy raw sugar, but they do not
want to pay the prices now asked.

States District Attorney McFar-
lane filed a bill OF complaint in
the United States Circuit court
against the thirty-two railroad
companies.f orming the joint traffic
association. He also gave notice
that on January 9th he would
move for an Injunction restraining
the association from operating un-
der its agreement.
In the bill of complaint it is
charged that the agreement be-
tween the companies is intended
for combine or pool of all COM
petition in traffic within it's scope
and that the agreement covers all
through traffic of the great trunk
lines, which comprises very large
part of the interstate railroad traf-
fic of the United States. This
agreement is unlawful, in that it
establishes not only a traffic pool,
but likewise pool of earnings in
violation of section 5, of the inter-
state commerce act, and that it is
a contractor combination in re-
straint of interstate trade and COM
merce and unlawful under the
antitrust law of 1890, known as
the Sherman antitrust law. The
bill of complaint asks as relief to
have the contracts between these
railroads declared null and void
and parties to it perpetually en-
Joined from acting under its agree
ments. 1t also asks for tempo

Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz regards.it
rs meriting note that while earnest
efforts are being made in the United
States to reform the consular service, q
movement Is afoot In Germany to SO re-
form the consular service of that country
as to bring it up to the present efficiency
OF that OF the United Ststos. At the re-
quest of the government, the Rhineland
and Westphalan Union for the protection
OF the empires industrial interests has
handed in an exhaustive essay founded
upon a thorough Investigation, dea ling
with the necessity of this reform, and
suggesting better training for German
consuls, especially IN practical school
OF commerce aud traffic. they complain
that the present service is too bureau
cratic, and that tho consuls are not SO
closely In touch with their people as
those OF the United Staies, and that their
reports are SO delayed as to be OF little use.
Another report from Mr.. Monaghan
shows forcibly just how far behind the
United States all Europe is in the matter
of electrical propulsion of railway cars.

trical railways, street and others, in
Europe went up I'm 1895 from 20 TO III,

NEW INSURANCE IDEA.
This Company Will Guarantee Wages to
Clerks and Other Employees.

This Company Will Guarantee Wages to
Clerks and Other Employees.
found an Insurance company the other
day that guarantees the payment of salaries
and wages To clerks, merchants and all
other employees of firms and corporations.
Employers have been insured against the
dishonesty of their clerks and cashiers for
years. as everybody knows, but this is the
first time / have heard of guaranteeing the
honesty Of employers, and / asked the
agent IL IL included servant girls.
mo" he said, "we haven't gone into
private families yet, although / have no
doubt we shall very soon do So It's a new
business. l believe we are the pionef
and there is n ccrtufn amount of preiudTce
among employers against having their In
tegrity insured. One of the firms in this
city WAS so mad when it found that two of
its employees had taken out policies In
our company that 1t discharged them
both, but this prejudice will very soon sub
side when people begin TO understand that
IL is n straight business transaction. Some
years ago when cashiers and clerks were
asked 10 give bonds they were very indig-
nant and considered IL reflection upon
their honor. remember one young man
from South Carolina who wanted to fight
"a duel with the general freight agent of "a
railway who told him he must give bond
that he would not steal, but now it's the
regular thing, and very soon employers
will fall right into IL and let tho insurance
company underwrite their integrity. -
