eraL Wrecks

Liberty, Ind, Dec. PA helper en-
gine on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad was run to College
Grove to-day to help a freight train.

machinery would not respond and the
engine got beyond his control.
The engine dashed toward Liberty,
ran into the engine of a freight train
and partly wrecked it. In some way
the helper wa sreversed and it ran
back through Liberty at the rate of
seventy miles an hour, dashing into
another freight, double-header.
Michael Foley, of indianapolis, a
brakeman, was killed. Bounton Os-
borne, of Connorsville, fireman on the
helper engine, was also killed. Fred
erick Foley, of indianapolis, a brother

PRINCE FRIENDLY TO ACTRESS
Vienna Report of Cause of Princess
Flight.

Vienna, Dec. 22.-The flight of the
crown princess of Saxony has caused
great excitement here. 1t is reported
that the Archduke Ferdinand, accom-
panied by one of the court chamber
lains, went to Geneva, whittier it was
supposed the princess had fled, but he
failed to find any trace of her. The
princess brother, the Archduke Leopold
Ferdinand, is said to be with her, but
nothing can be ascertained as to her
whereabouts.
1t is officially explained that the
princess disappearance is due to men
tai arrangement. There is little doubt,
however, that it was caused by domeS-
tic discord growing out of her hus-
bands relations with an actress of the
Dresden court theater. 1t is asserted
here that the princess frequently
threatened fight on this account, and
that she was incensed at her father the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, for counselling
her to forgive her husband. She is said
to be enceinte.
1t is rumored here tonight that the
princess was accompanied. by the
French tutor of her children.

GREAT GERMAN COMBINE.
Electric Companies Form Trust On the
american Plan.

meTFCUh H~tuus
Berlin, Dec 22.-The Allgemeine
Elktricitaets' Gesellschaft, with $22,-
1250OO capital in bonds, and the Union
Elektricitaets Gesellschaft, having $751;
100000 capital have reached an agree
ment amounting to a practical consoli-
dation, the directors of each company
being elected members of the board Of
the other, so that the management is
identical, though the companies, nomin-
ally remained separate. The step is the
result of the crisis in the German elec-
trical industry. After the substance
of the great boom in the electrical COM
panies it was found that the manufac-
turing capacity had far outrun the
market demands, hence various efforts
had already been made to organize a
combination after the model Of the
American trusts. The Allgemiene had
taken the lead in such efforts, but it
found that most of the other companies
demanded too high rating in the pro-
posed combination. The first negotia-
tions were opened with the Schuckert
company of Nuremberg, which surpris-
ed the country last summer by sannounc
ing sensational losses through the
shrinkage in value of it's securities and
plant The Allgemeine attempted to
secure control of the Schuckert through
group of great Berlin bankers which
back the Allgemeine. The banks con-
tempIated practical combination of
the two companies by extending finan-
Cial support to the Schuckert. The ne
gotiations came to nothing through the
refusal of the Schuckert directors to ac-
cept the terms offered. The Allgemeine
then entered into negotiations with the
Union, which were conducted so secret
ly that the annourcement to-day took
the market completely by surprise, and
it's publication caused a rise in electric
ais, Allgemeine gaining 61a and Union
2 1-3 points. The Union owns the Thom-
SON. Houston patents for Germany and
neighboring countries. The technical
manager of the combine is an Ameri-
can, Mr.. Magee. The combinations s
greatest rival, the Seimens & Halske
company capitalized at $23, 100000, held
it's annual meeting to-day and declared
per cent. dividend, against 4 per
cent. in 1901. The company's report
says of the combination that the Sci
mems & Haslke company is able to go
on lone, but after the situation has
cleared .upsa combination may seem
feasible.

lions for Loan DIseussed.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22.-The directors
of the Lake Superior Consolidated COM
pany to-day met the representatives of
several banking institutions of New
York and Philadelphia for the purpose
of negotiating a loan. Vice President
Theodore C. Search, after the confer
ence gave out a statement that the

matter and will look over the COM
pany's property before negotiating the
loan. Mr.. Search says the matter has
been in the hands of the banking firms
only since Saturday and negotiations
could not be closed to-day because suf-
ficient time had not been given the
financiers to look over the assets of the
company He says there is no doubt
the company will be able to negotiate
the loan.

A MURDERER'S INSURANCE.
u. s. supreme Court Upholds Refusal to
Pay Et-Agaimst Public Policy.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The question
of the effect of murder upon life in
surance policy when issued upon the
life of the murderer was passed upon
to-day by the United States supreme
court in an opinion delivered by JUS
tice Brewer. The case was that Of S.
M. Burt VS.. the Union Central Life In
surance company. William E. Burt, of
Travis county, Texas, was the man in
sured. His policy was payable to his
wife, and, in case of her death, to his
executors. In the following year Burts
wife died. He was afterwards charged
with her murder, was found guilty and
executed. Afterwards the heirs of the
estate made an effort to collect upon
the policy, but the insurance company
resisted payment The lower courts,
including the court of appeals for the
Fifth circuit, sustained the protest of
the company, and to-day's opinion af-
f1rmed the decision of the court of ap-
peals, holding the policy invalid on the
ground that to sanction payment under
the circumstances would be contrary to
public policy.

New York, Dec. 22.-Fire which start
ed from an unknown cause, tonight in
the big seven story piano factory of
Ernest Gabler & Bros. in East Twen-
ty-second street, did damage to the ex-
etnt of $250,000. The factory was al
most entirely destroyed. The tenants
were driven from adjoining tenement
houses, and a panic ensued among the
inmates of the New York Truant school
in East Twenty-first street, directly in
the rear of the factory. The forty-four
boys in the institution were removed to
a place OF safety by the police. A
Watchman was somewhat burned and
a pedestrian was struck by a truck and
received a fractured skull.
Ernest e. Gabler, member of the
firm, thought the loss would approxi-
mate half million dollars. This is the
third time the firm has suffered from
fire. Two hundred men are thrown out
of employment.
