Berlin, Dec. 26.-The prosecution Of Dr. Delbrueck. the well known profes- sor of history in the Berlin university, on account Of an article written by him deEcunclng the expulsion of Danes from Schleswig, is raising q consider able stir.

 At o'clock last evening a broken strand in the cable brought a Broadway car up standing. In a short time the busy artery between Sixteenth street and the Battery was fall of cars, for the slaves ot the line kept on collect ing fares from unsuspecting passenger s until every coach came to a standstill. The blockade wasn't raised until , o'clock this morning, for the cable snapped soon after the grip caught the defect tt was the worst tie-up in years, and thousands now look with ia VOT upon the underground trolley work in progress on the system, even if it does mean another franchise steal worth millions, if properly handled by the servants of the people.

 The weighty mantle of the great Brice wealth has fallen upon the shOul- ders of a young man of 28, who steps into the ranks of the American multi millionaires to fill the gap made by the death of his father. This young man is Stewart Meilley Brice, athlete, soldier, politician, elder son Of the former sen ator. So far as public estimate can gauge it, young Brice is heir to about SIC, eco, 900; but iii addition to this great estate there are many irons left in the fire by the deceased parent which in themselves are likely to net millions more.

CONDON IS TOTALLY BLIND
His Last Hope Of Recovering Sight

Chicago, Dee. 26.-Jcfan Ccndon, th9 race track magnate Of this city is new totally blind. The best specialists in America have been compelled to inn part the information tci him that he will never see the light of day again.
 This distressing news is brought to Chicago by Jerry Driscol1, MT. Con- dcn's partner in several business mt uras, notably the management Of the Harlem race track. MT. DriscOll reach cd Chicago from New York yesteI day, where he paid a visit to the hospital where Condcn was rece' 'virg tr5 -ment.

 MT. Condcm'S sight has net been good for the, last five years, but it was less than a year ago that he first noticed that his eyes were rapidly growing worse. He got no relief and last wint- CT was taken tci Hot Springs in the hope Of deriving some ben fit there. While there llia was taken dagerously i'll and twice in enc week 1t was given cut by the attending physic ans that he was dead. He rallizd EoSh times how ever, and was finally brought around all right. But during his illness the nerves Of the eyes fail5d almost al together and to t-e patients horr-r there was little sight when he got out Of bed.
 MT. Drisccll said ysztsrday:
 Johns eyes are totally sigihtless and there is no hope that he will ever zee daylight. The gr5at1st special tists in the country have tried to better his condition, but all have failed The cause cf it is not known. It $ 2 pit iabia sight to see such a brainy man as Ccndon so helpless, and l had to leave. His family is with him ard he gets the bsst eff care.

 But for all that did not hear John speak one complaining word. Bsfore he left Chicago he tcld his friends there was but one chance in million of his coming back any way but blind, but he only laughsd about the matter.
