Cold Spell Checks Threatened Flood
at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Dec. 31.-The threatened
flood Is a result of the heavy rainfall

averted by the cold SNOW.
During the night a big ice jam form
ed in the Allegheny river between the
Fort Wayne railroad bridge and the
bridge at Sixteenth street and for a
time threatened to sweep the new rail-

papers received by the steamer Athe-
MAN tell of what appeared to be an at

by a foreigner named -Thorson. This

anese parliament, Tanaka Sjoseo, wait
ed for. the imperial carriage after the
ceremony of opening the diet had TAX
en- place. The Japanese member wish
ed to present a document to his maj
esty, and threw off his coat to ap-
proach the carriage. AS he rushed for
ward Thorson also ran up with a pis-
tol in his hand, but before he could do
anything was overpowered and dis
armed by the soldiers Of the guard.
It is alleged that Thorson had an
interest in the document which the
Japanese was attempting to present to
the emperor, and that he brandished
the weapon merely to impress the JAP
lnese with his importance. Thorson
b still in Jail, while the Japanese was
professionally pardoned.

Of F. H. PEAvY'
Notable Career of the Minneapolis 5Ele-
vator Man Who Died of Pneu- {
monia at Chicago.
Contracted a Slight Cold On December
20, and Never Left His Bed
After that Time.
One of the Greatest Business Men and
Wheat Elevator Owners of the
Northwest.

Chicago, Dec. 31:-FranR H. Peavey,
country, died here of pneumonia, aged
81 years and II months.
Mr.. Peavey came to Chicago from
his home in Minneapolis nearly two
weeks ago on business. He was in his
usual perfect health, but Dec. 20 he
contracted a cold and that night took
to his bed in the Auditorium annex,
The cold quickly developed into pneu,
monia and the patients friends were
notified, although it vas expected he
would V Hopeful bulletins were
received daily, but Friday night last
the patients condition took a turn for
the worse, although he had felt better
during the day. Saturday night again
a good day was followed by distress
at night. Sunday, however, it was be-
lieved Mr.. Peavey had successfully
passed the crisis OF his sickness. Up
70 mid-afteTnoon his bedside was the
scene of an encouraging character. At
that hour, however, the patients
breathing became more difficult and
his heart action weaker. A hurried
consultation of physicians followed
and everything known to science to
combat the malady was done. At 2
o'clock Mr.. Peavey lapsed into uncon-
seriousness and the family which sur
rounded him were informed that the
end was approaching. At $3.50 o'clock
he breathed his last.
The following members of Mr.. Pea
vey's family were present: Mrs. F. H.
Peavey, his wife; George W. Peavey,
his son; Mrs. H. R. Wells, a daughter;
Mrs. F. 7. Heffelfnger, a daughter;
Mrs. A. D. Peavey, his mother; Mrs.
J. NJ. Cleland, a sister and F. D. Pea
vey, a brother of New York. The de-
cedent's mother lives in Sioux City, Ia,
Mrs. Cleland in Chicago and the others
at the bedside, excepting F. D. Peavey.
in Minneapolis. Mrs. Peavey was
with her husband all through his i'll
ness, having left a sick bed herself in
Minneapolis to come to him.
Mr.. Peavey was credited with being
the largest owner of grain elevators in
the country if not in the world. The
sign "PV" was a familiar one on grain
warehouses throughout the grain pro-
ducing states Of the West and North
west along the lines of the railroads.
At railroad terminal points he had
large holdings, his interests in Chi
cago being particularly heavy. His
name for years has been potent on the
boards of trade here and in the North
west.
The body was taken aboard a Chica-
go and Northwestern train for Mime
apolis. Plans for the funeral will be
made later.
1t is said that Mr.. Peavey carried ST.
600, 0C0 insurance on his life.
Minneapolis newsboys we're objects
of charity Of Mr.. Peavey. Several
years ago he started a fund for them
and for every dollar deposited by a
newsboy Mr.. Peavey added another
dollar.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-Wheat cables
were nc higher this morning. This
was not up to our advance of yester-
day and local prices opened a shade
lower than yesterdays close. On some
healthy buying prices were advanced
Mc to 7SNc for the May option. At
this figure there was some realizing to
even up over New Years. Price Of
wheat may ease off some but we think
we are on the eve of another bull
movement, and it will prove to be of a
more substantial nature than the late
advance to SOC. Market 1uctuated
within a range of 1Ac for owe an hour
with a firm undertone.
Corn: Cables Hc higher. Prices
with us were off Nc from yesterday and
lost another Ac in the early trading
Part of the loss was regained later and
prices held steady.
Oats are lower today yet hold steady
at the decline. In the late trading
prices hardened, May selling at 1910.
Provisions were 15c lower for pork
on the opening and a further decline
of sc ensued. There has been some
selling by packers today with the evil
dent purpose of taking on another
load at lower prices.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY.

New York, Dec. 31.-Call money
ruled very high today; at n time
loans were made at 20 per cent, and
stocks showed some weakness. Later
money rates eased, off some and stocks
became strong and advanced all along
the Inc. After January 1st there will
be plenty Of money and a bull market.
We advise buying coalers and grangers.
Mo. Pac. will probably be advanced by
the Gould interests. Rock Island has
been bought by the Moore interests
during the past few days. Peoples

INJUNCTION
Retirement Of Northern Pacific Pre-.
ferred Stock Enjoined.

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-A very in.
portent and ~far-reaching suit has been
begun in the district court of Henne-
Fin county by Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific RailroaS company to
cnjoin the retirement of the preferred
stock. The suit was begun by filing
papers and an application before Judge
elliott for a writ of Injunction pending
he final disposition of the case. After
hearing the parties, Judge Elliott
granted the writ of Injunction enjoin-
ing the retirement of the preferred
stock until the final deposition of that
case. This makes it impossible for the
retirement of the preferred stock to
proceed further until that suit at least
Is disposed of. Mr.. Lamb of New York
and MI. Moore of Chicago, among the
leaders of the bar in those cities, to-
getner with ex-Judge Lancaster Of
Minneapolis, appear as attorneys for
the plaintiff.
New York. Dec. 31.-Quite a commo-
ton was created in financial circles by
the announcement from Minnesota of
the issuance of an Injunction to re-
strain the Northern Pacific Railroad
company from retiring the preferred
stock. Comparatively little attention
was paid the suit recently decided in
his city, for the reason that it was
known to be a friendly suit, having for
its object the possible forestailing of
just such an action, on it's merits, as
has been begun in Minnesota.
1t is held in Wall street that this in
junction will at least badly delay the
merger programme, for the reason that
until the preferred Northern Pacific
has been paid off, the common stock,
held by the merger syndicate, cannot
control the company. So long as the
preferred stock is a liability, the Union
Pacific controls the property and owns
one-half Of the Burlington system, and
should the injunction be perpetuated,
the consolidation scheme of Mr.. Hill
Is utterly knocked out.
