MATT COMBINATION.

New York, Aug. Representatives
of large mailing firms met at the Ho-
tel Manhattan in this city yesterday
by instigation of Seymour Scott, of
Lyons, N. Y, and took the first steps
to close a combination.
The firms represented about so per
cent of the malt output of the United
States which averages S0,0OO,OOO BUSH
els. The glucose trust is supposed to
be behind this proposed combination
of masters. Glucose enters largely
into the manufacture of beer as a sub
stitute for malt, and the idea, it is
said, is to have both products under
control. Nothing tdefinite was done
today except to oppose in general
way the plan to form a combination.
1t as yet only possibility. The tenn
porary chairman was directed to call
a meeting at a later date.

BANK CLOSING OUT.

New York, Aug. 4.-The banking
house of James G. Kings Sons, found
ed in 1915, and formerly one of the
principal banking firms of the city,
is going out of business. The business
has long dwindled. What remains will
be taken over to Barring, Magown &
Co.
The first house was known as James
G. Kin & Co., and was founded by
James G. King, son of Rufus King,
who was the first minister of the Unit
ed States to England, under President
Washington. Later the firm name was
changed to Prime, Ward, Sands, King
& Co., and in 1S47 it became known as
James G. Kings Sons.
Archibald Oracle King, son of Jas.
G. King, became the head of the house
on the death of his father, having be-
come a junior member in 1912. He
died on March %, last, and articles for
the dissolution of the firm were drawn
up shortly afterward.

AND IF AS REPRESENTED, WILL
REV0LUTIONIZE THE EN-
TIRE WORLD.
Practical Demonstration of the
Working of the New In
ventiOn Given by the
Genius to a Number of
Friends.

New York, Aug. 4.-The Journal and
Advertiser today says:
Nicola Tesla has just announced the
completion of his latest discovery-the
simultaneous transmission of messag-
es by means of the earth's electrical
currents to as many centered points
on the surface of the globe as may be
desired. This he regards as by far his
greatest achievement. He will fol-
low his usual custom and lay his in
formation before the world of science
in his own words and accompanied by
his own computations and conclusions.
Tesla intimates that he gave thrilling
demonstration of the operation of his
device for arresting and subjecting to
control under natural laws the electri-
cal substances in and about the earth.
His latest invention, device or discov-
cry, is to produce such a disturbance
of the electricity of THE earth as can
be felt and noted simultaneously at all
parts of the globe. Tesla had his
rooms on Houston street darkened.
From a room adjoining the one in
which he and his visitors stood, cur
rent was turned on invisibly. A huge
black disc hung on a frame about
eight feet in diameter from the center
of which protruded a brass electrode
seven inches in diameter. AS the
group gazed at this, the apartment was
filled with a cracking sound which
increased till it sounded like the rattle
of musketry. Bright flames shot from
the electrode, not pole to pole, as in
ordinary demonstrations, like a fiery
serpents the wavy GELS of flame darted
in graceful lines around the disc. The
longest sparks were fully eight feet
from the point when the burst into daz-
zling brilliancy to the vanishing point.
Electrical sparks were undoubtedly
the longest flashes of light ever pro-
duced by similar means.
1t seemed like a terrific lightning dis
play with the swapping cracking sound
displacing the reverberation of heav-
ems artillery and all remarked that
lit was a wierd and aweing scene.
What are you doing?" was asked of
Tesla.
81 am producing an electrical distur-
bance of intense magnitude which is
continuing throughout the entire
earth. In other words l am produc-
ing a disturbance of the earth's charge
of electricity which can be felt to the
uttermost parts of the EARTH"
"And the result win be?"
"Ah," said Tesla, that is almost in
comprehensive This electrical distur-
bance by means of certain simple in
struments can be felt and appreciated
at sny point of the globe. In this
way messages can be sent the entire
earth around and be taken up at any
part of the earth without the aid or
intervention of wires in any way at

PERU MUST PAY.

New York, Aug. A special to- the
Herald from Washington, says:
An ultimatum has been presented to
the Peruvian government by the adj
ministration requiring the immediate
payment of the McCord claim of $780,
900. While no threat of coercion is
made in case of refusal, the note makes
the positive statement that any furth-
er delay on the part of Peru to close
the incident will be considered as in
furious to the cordial relations exist
ing between the two governments. The
Peruvian minister has cabled the note
to Lima and is now awaiting instruc-
tons from his government.
1t is expected that the Peruvian gov
eminent will try to obtain further
consideration of the case, but such
an attempt will not meet with sue
cess. The State department has in
formed Peru that her liability is un-
questioned except by herself and that
this government will not consent to a
further discussion of the matter.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Two steamers Collide Without Life
Being Lost.

Two steamers Collide without Life
Being Lost.
Kingston, Ont, Aug. 1.-TWO passen-
ger steamers, the America of the Amer
lean line, and the Algerian, of the Rich
clue and otter Navigation company,
collided in the famous Lachine rapids
of the st. Lawrence river, near Montre-
al. Both were crowded with passen-
gers and panic ensued when the two
crafts came togther.
Above the roar of the rapids came
the grinding and splintering of wood
as the two boats dashed down the
rapids together. Many of the passen-
gers tainted and pandemoium reigned
on board. BY a miracle, seemingly,
no one on either boat was injured and
the damage to both boats is compare
lively slight when the peril they were
in is considered. The bulwarks of the
America on the side she struck the
Algerian are torn away and the wood
work is otherwise damaged.
The Algerian, being the larger and
heavier boat, escaped much serious
damage.
AS soon as the end of the rapids was
reached the steamers were headed for
docks and the passengers disembarked.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Uuobserved Train Dashes Into a Wag-
on Loaded With Eight
Persons.


New York, August A special to the
Herald from Middletown, N. Y, says:
Two children killed and six persons
injured, several probably fatally, is
the record of an accident which occur
red on the New York, Ontario and
Western railroad just north of Rock
land, Sullivan county.
A combined observation car and To-
connective bearing E, Garfield, the gen.
eral superintendent, and Charles. H.
Hopkins, the superintendent of the
suothern division of the road, struck
a wagon containing John NJ. .Aulyk
and his wife and six children. The
accident occurred at the Hollywood
highway crossing. The wagon and oc-
cupants were hurled forty feet down
an embankment into the rocky bed of
the Wollowemoc river. One of the
children was instantly killed, another
died soon afterwards, and the other
members of the family are not expect
ed to survive.
The crossing is one of the most dan
gerous on the line. The tracks, just
before crossing the highway, descend
a steep grade and sharp curve in the
railroad renders it impossible to see
the approach of train until it is near
the crossing.

| YOUNG LADY FROM THIS
CITY SUDDENLY DISAP-
PEARS IN CHICAGO.
| Her Name is Miss Mabel Parrish and
She Had Just Graduated
at a School of Embalm-
ing--Had Considerable
Money.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Miss Mabel Parrish
a beautiful young woman from San
Antonio, Texas, since Saturday night
at II o'clock, has not been seen by her
acquaintances so far as known, and
her trunks, which she left in her room,
III, of the Leland hotel have not been
called for Whether or not she has
met with foul play is a mystery which
is being seriously considered.
Miss Parrish came to Chicago to en-
ter the Chicago college of Embalming
from which institution she was gradu-
ated last Wednesday. The last seen of
her was Saturday evening when she
was noticed in the woman's parlor at
the hotel talking to a young man.
Not until Sunday morning was any
notice taken Of the absence of the
young woman. When it was found
that she had not been in her room Sat-
urday night or Sunday, Chief Clerk
Kelly went to her apartments and
found that her trunks were still there
Both were opened and several dresses
were spread on the bed while num-
Der of articles were scattered about
the floor. A hasty investigation was
at once made but not the slightest clew
to the whereabouts of the young wo-
man could be found.
The hotel people do not believe that
she had taken her life as they say
she was always merry and had a
pleasant word for all.
She seemed to have had a consider
able sum of money with her all the
time. When she left the hotel she
owed for three days room rent at the
hotel, but her trunks and property left
behind would, however, discharge these
debts.

that the Union Pacific is a corporation,
created solely by virtue of the laws Of
the United States and is under no 9TH

road was a common carrier, but that
as such common carrier it was not at

All the other roads in Nebraska men,
