New York, Dec. 10.-It is more than
possible that within the next few days
the great bulk Of the cracker and biscuit
business Of the United States will be con-
rroiled by a combination OF the three
corporations that now share the trade
among themselves, says the New York
Times These three corporations are the

and the United States Biscuit company.
It is generally supposed that the New
York Biscuit company viii De the head,

until these three great companies now
stand without rivals except among them
selves. The combination now forming

After the Ceremony.

New York. March 26.-Michael Gum
pei, days old, of No. so Market street
died on Saturday night at his home
Yesterday Coroner's Physician Donlin
made an examination and found that
the child had bled to death from the
effects of an operation performed on
last Wednesday in accordance with a
Jewish rite.
Coroner Fitzpatrick said last night
that there We're on an average twenty
such operations performed every day
in the section bound by East Broad
way and the water front and Catherine
and Montgomery streets. This was the
first case he had heard of as having
proved fatal.
Michael Gumpel. the father of the
dead child, said that Rev. B. I. Lubel-
sky of No. 81 East Broadway performed
the ceremony on last Wednesday even
ing On Thursday the rabbi had called
three times and in the evening had rec
commended that a doctor be called in
Gumpel went for a doctor, but the ply
stefan refused to attend the case be-
cause the father had no money.
Rabbi 1ubelSky called on Friday and
said doctor should have been sum-
moned. Gumpel then got DR. Heming-
way to visit the child. He prescribed
the usual remedies. but the little one
was so weak from loss of blood that it

RIVER IS 4e FEET DEEP.
The Big Muddy Still Rising at Leav-
enWOrth.

Leavenworth. March 26.-The rise
registered at 6 o'clock last night in the
Missouri river for the preceding TWEEN
ty-four hours was one foot and five
inches. AT present the water is twelve
feet and eight inches above low water
mark, and forty-six feet deep in the
main channel.
No material damage to adjoining
property has been done up to date, but
if the rise continues at this abnormal
rate, and every indication points to it,
the roadways on the opposite side of the
river will have to be practically aban-
doned. This contingency would cut
off direct communication, except by the
old bridge, with LeavenWorth, now en-
joyed by the Missouri farmers contigu-
Gus to the river and the country trade
of local merchants would suffer
consequence.
The water brought down much drift
wood yesterday. Some solid logs were
noticed in the stream during the after
noon. The current is swift and no
efforts are being made to catch any of
the logs.
