A BEER MONOPOLY.
Another English Syndicate Buying
Up Rreweries.

Cincinnati, Feb. 2.-The Enquirer
says: Three representatives of gigan-
tic London syndicate are in this city
for the purpose of gobbling up all the
biggest breweries here, and success has
80 far crowned their efforts. They
have purchased an option on sixteen,
and the deal has progressed so far that
the dealers have begun taking stock
and summing up all the saloon chattel
mortgages they hold, for the purpose
of knowing just how they stand. The
deal will be closed the coming week.
The amount to be paid for the lot az
gregates $9,0O0,000. One-half will be
paid in cash, and the other half in pre-
ferred stock, with guaranteed interest,
so that the present owners will have
some voice in the future administr;l-
ton of affairs. The syndicate intends
consolidating, under the laws of the
state, and making them all one grand
corporation. The older breweries were
the more eager to make the sale, ow-
ing to the condition trade has been in
generally for some time.
The deal has been under way with
local brokers several months. One of
these brokers was in London during
the summer. 1t is stated that the syn
dictate also has options on the Fay Egan
woodworking machinery plant of this
city, the Hoven, Owen e. Rentschler
engine works at Hamilton, and other
factories

CORN AND CHEMICALS.
Said to Have Supplanted Barley and
Malt In Beer-Makipg.

st. Louis, Feb. "A dispatch from
Milwaukee says: The tremendous drop
in the barley malt product has stirred
up the maltsters, and they evince u
disposition to make some interesting
disclosures. They freely declare that
in many breweries a barrel of beer is
being made with the use of but half
bushel of barley malt, while the Ger
man standard for pure beer is three
bushels. The claim is as freely made
that corn and chemicals have practical
ly supplanted barley in the production
of the beverage of the world.
When the attention of Mr.. Aug. A.
Busch, vice-president of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association, was called
to the above article, he expressed no
surprise in seeing the dispatch from
Milwaukee, calling attention to the
tremendous drop in the barley malt
product, but wondered why more had
not been said in public print with ref
erence to the matter. Continuing he
said: ''We do not now, nor have we
ever, used corn in the production OF
any OF our beers, and we have always
contended that st-class beer cannot
be made by using corn as substitute
for barley malt"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins b Company's Revue "
Of Trade.

The wheat markets during the week
just closed have been under the control
ii short sellers. Prominent operators
have taken hand in the deal, and tho
result has been very heavy unloading
of long wheat and drop in the price
Of May at Chicago on Friday to 73c,
with, however, reaction before the
close on Saturday to 76c; subsequent
decline of half cent from this latter
price with final closing figures at 10 &c,
loss for the week of 5-Sc. The mar
ket at the beginning of the week had
settled itself into Il scalping affair with
the tendency lower, on the selling out
of long lines and the pressing Of sales
by people who favor that side under
any and all circumstances. Dizziness
bcgcts sagging markets, and the disap-
pearance of an outside interest in the
market is, in part, responsible for the
break this week. The public has been
loaded up, waiting to get out more adj
vantageously, or else sellers have been
OVERRIDING the thing to the extent that
when anything does come favorable for
q rise there will be some tall hustling
to cover. The fact remains, however,
that the seller has been greatly favored
in the news and by the considerations
mentioned. Fluctuations have been
more frequent and the oft-repeated
stories of cash business at the different
markets would give one an impression
that holders were resorting to desperate
means in order to bolster up an already
lost cause. There is cash demand for
wheat all the time, of course, but it is
not up to sensational proportions or of
such an amount as to result in the buy
ing of futures by the speculative pub
lie, and herein lies the weakness of the
position assumed by the investor in
wheat.
On the surface, the foreign crop adj
vices are just as they were when May
wheat in Chicago was selling l0c per
bushel higher than at present, but still,
and strange to say, Liverpool cables
have been coming lower each day since
the week commenced.

Five men were killed this afternoon by
a freight train near East Norwalk sta
ton. 1t is supposed that while walk
ing upon the track they stepped from
in front of the express train directly in
front of the freight. The dead are:
James Powers, section foreman; John
Griffin, John Shea, Spleen, and an I'M
known man. All were instantly killed
except Shea, who survived five min
utes. The men were engaged under
the direction of Foreman Powers in
work upon the road bed, and stepped
from one track to avoid the approach

freight was bearing down.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The report of
Professor Langley, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, just submit
ted to the board OF regents, contains the
following about his flying machine:
1.-THE writer has, during the inter
walls of his official duties, continued to
experiment in this manner until he
has reached measure of success which
seems to justify him in making the
statement here that mechanical fights
have now been attained"
On May 20 last a mechanism built
chiefly OF steel and driven by steam
engine made two flights of over half u
mile. Since that time the result has
been nearly doubled. In each case
there was no support from gas. The
machine was | 900 or more times heav-
Ter than the air in which it was made
to move. DR.. Alexander Graham Bell
witnessed the first of these, and commu-
nicated the statement OF results to the
academy of France.

THE PULPIT AND THE STAGE.
Actor Hearne Lectured in q Kansas
City Church.

Kansas City, Feb. 2.-Before the
richest congregation in this part of the
country this evening, James A.
Hearne, actor and playwright, deliv-
cred lecture on "The Theater as 1t
Is" The lecture was one of a series
of popular discussion which have been
running at the First Congregational
church, of which DR.. Henry Hopkins,
LII. D., relative of the founder of the
Johns Hopkins university, is pastor.
The greatest interest had been
aroused by the announcement of the
lecture, and the audience that greeted
Mr.. Hearne was probably the largest in
number that ever gathered at church
edtice in this city. Mr.. Hearne, with
his "Shoreacres' company, is making
a tour of the West. In the course Of
his address he said:
'The province of the theater as an
institution is to do good, but greed on
one side and vicious tastes on the other
have somewhat corrupted the thcater
The theater is factor of society just
as much as is the church, and, in spite
Of all the stigma that is attached to it,
and all the vice and pernicious power
it is charged with, it is still an educa-
tor, and it's influence is for good, and
not for evil. The church and the the
alter should work together. l claim
they have stood too long apart; that
for the good of the race they should
join hands at once and aid each other
to free mankind"

Cincinnati, Feb. 2.--The CONNER.
cial Tribune's special from Key West
says: On Friday one OF Wcylcr's sup
ply trains was dynamited on the rail-
road near Ciezc, north of Cicnfuegos.
Two bombs were exploded under the
engine and four under the train, being
fired by electricity as the train was
crossing a trcstle. The engine was
blown apart, and all the cars were
splntered. They rolled over the tres
tie into the ditch, the fall completing
what the dynamite had left undone.
Out Of the guard of 100 soldiers on it,
forty-five were instantly killed or ter
ribly injured. The others bodily
surrendered, as force of 200 Cubans
appeared. The train was looted, the
insurgents securing small tieldpiece
that General Weyler had just ordered
from Havana. After securing all tie
provisions and ammunition, the cars
were burned. The prisoners We're re-
leased, and the Cuban captain sent
Weyler box OF sweetbread with po-
lite note. The captain of this Cuban
band was an American named Burke,
from Indiana.
The famished condition of the people
in Pinar del Rio, Artemisa and San
CristObal is we'll known. Hundreds of
people have flocked to these cities in
obedience to the cruel orders of Colo
nels Hernandez, San Martin and
Ynclan.
