NATIONAL BISCUIT co.
The New Company CentraIiIes It's
Work I'm This City.

The National Biscuit Company of this
city, which was organized about a year ago
by a consolidation of the local biscuit COM
pantes, has taken a further step in CONSOLE
dation by uniting the three branches, which
have been maintained as separate estab-
lishments. and in future the business viii
ters at GIG E street, the other two branches
Company was formed by a consolidation Of
the New York Biscuit Company. the Ameri-
can Biscuit Company and The United States
Baking Company.
In the final consolidation and manage
ment made today Mr.. J. W. Bennett. who
has managed the New York Biscuit Com
pany for years, has accepted an important
position with the rev company. Andrew G.
Shannon, the former manager OF the Mar
vim agency, Will act general manager of
the National Biscuit Company. Mr.. Ed
ward Derrick of the Mason agency will
act as assistant manager of the new COM
pany. The gentlemen in charge state that
there will practically be no reduction in
the working force, the only change being
that of Mr.. Bennett. Twenty-three out Of
twenty-five of the former employees will be
retained and an increase in this force is
probable in the near future. The new COM
pany will use nineteen or twenty horses
and fifteen wagons, and the only curtail-
ment III expense will be made by doing
away with the two branches.
The latest production of the company has
been the Uneeda biscuit, which has been
extensively advertised in the last two weeks.
and the results in sales have been clear
demonstration of the value of printers ink
in pushing a good thing.
Within two weeks the company has
placed over 100, 600 packages of the Uneeda
biscuit in Washington.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Verdict of the Jury in Case of John
II. Buscher,

Coroner Carr held an inquest yesterday
afternoon at the sixth precinct station over
the remains of John H. Buscher, who was
killed on the 4th street grade crossing of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Wednes-
day night, as published in yesterdays Star.
The jury heard the evidence of several wit
nesses and returned verdict of accidental
death.
Attorney Campbell Darlington was pres
ent at the Investigation. looking after the
interests of the dead mans family. 1t was
stated by witnesses that the severe wind
storm had put out the electric light at the
crossing. Engineer Whooley and Fireman
Biggs, who We're on the train that did the
killing, told the jury of the trains move
ments. The former stated that his train
was proceeding at the rate of only eight
miles an hour. He mad the brakes partly
on at the time, and 1t would have been an
easy matter to bring the train to a sudden
stop.
Fireman Biggs saw the unfortunate man
before he was killed. Mr.. Buscher he said,
hesitated moment, then walked around
the gates, which were lowered, and stepped
in front of the train. He called to him, but
he supposed his words of warning were not
heard.
Thomas F. Mcdonald. who was the
Waterman at the crossing at the time of
the accident, related what he knew of the
affair. He lowered the gates, he said, when
the train was fully $50 yards down the
crossing. Mr.. Buscher walked around the
gates and seemed to get bewildered. He
stopped a moment and then stepped on the
track in front of the train.
Martin Cissel, who was standing at the
crossing, said he heard the warning bell
ringing as the train approached He knew
nothing of the accident unth he heard the
Waterman remark that he believed a man
had been killed.
Michael Raedy thought the. gates were
up at the time of the accident and James
Bright said they We're lowered just before
the train reached the crossing. A verdict
as stated was rendered, and the jury
stated that the e. idence showed the gates
were down when Buscher passed through.
The belief was expressed in the verdict
that Mr. Buscher did not see or hear the
train on account of the storm.
The body was turned over to the family
of the deceased, and was removed to his
late home, No. 91S 4th street northeast,
from where the funeral Will take place.

Judge Scott today decided to discharge
James Norris, who was under arrest on the
charge of assaulting a little girl Sunday
last. The case was heard Tuesday. Judge
Scott based his decision on the ground that
while the evidence showed that Norris
helped the child on car and asked her TO
go to Georgetown, there was no law 10
cover the case as alleged.
Later Judge Scott said he was sorry there
was no law to reach Norris, and he hoped
Congress would pass such a statute as is
needed at its next session. Norris counsel
entirely agreed with Judge Scott that a
law on the subject referred to was badly
wanted.
