DANE DRAGs STREET CAR.-Otto
Peterson, physical director of the Danish
Athletic Club, of South Brooklyn, was
locked up yesterday. Peterson had at
tempted to drag Broadway car from
Tweuty-third street one block north with
his teeth. Press agent tips sent to the
newspapers early yesterday stated that a
large wager had been made that the
strong man couldn't do it. The sidewalk
in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel was
crowded. At 4o'clock Peterson ran from
the sidewalk and signalled northbound
car to stop. The motorman did, and the
strong man hitched chain to the fender
and tugged away at the other end like a
fox terrier at piece of meat. There
we're IS passengers on board. He had
moved the car about feet when apolice-
man arrested him. At the station Peter
son said he was 80 years old, native of
Orsted. Denmark, and now living in a
house-boat at South Brooklyn. Peterson
said he had trained Beck Olsen, wrest-
Ter known as 1.-THE Terrible Swede. "

ACCOMPLISHING an invitation to at
tend the service at the First African
Baptist Church in Richmond yesterday
and for a minister to assist in the SER
vice a letter was sent to DIR. Robert Z.
Ogden, president of the Educational
Conference, which should change the
oninion of those who think that the
white people of the South have any
idea of "closing the door of hope" to
the negro. The letter, which is signed
by Rev. w. H. Burwell and Rev. w.
T. johnson, is in part as follows ;
The negroes of Richmond have
ALWAYS been able to live in peace and
harmony with the white race. The
same kindly feelings which coursed IN
tbe veins of the ''mammy" and the
body servant of by-gone days exists to-
day We have lived here and pros
pered and thousands Of us rejoice in the
possession of "Our own vine and hg
tree" with none to make us afraid.
There is no feeling of antagonism be,
tween the white citizen and the colored
citizen OF Richmond. Ones trouble is
the others trouble; and what benefits
one benefits the other
But there are people in the North
who do not wish to believe that there Is
any good feeling in the South between
the white and colored people and who
would not believe it were so no matter
how patent the fact might be.

osoulator Escapes from jail.

Huntington, W. Va, April 27.-Last
evening William Tllinghast overpowered
the turnkey at the city Jail, and relieved
him of his keys, and then escaped from
the prison. Tillinghast was in Jail in
default of 5000 fine, which was impos-
ed because on last Sunday he embraced
his sweetheart and showered kisses upon
her as they drove through a leading
street, apparently oblivious of the gaze
of those who tbronged the thorOughfare

They Fear the Malta.

New York, April 27.-Fear of violence
in the hands of the Malta caused a gen.
eral disappearance of the coroner's
Jury which was to hold an inquest this
morning into the death of Benedetto
Madonna, whose body was found stuffed
in a barrel on the East side and for
whose murder thirteen Italians suspects
were taken into custody. Coroner Sholer
called the inquest at 1890 but at that
hour only few of the jurymen drawn
we're to be found. 1t appears that when
the iurymen learned that they were to
serve in the Malta case half of them dis
appeared. Coroner Sholer said that an
adjournment would be taken until noon
when he hoped to have sufficient num-
Der of men present to serve on the jury.
In speaking of the disappearance OF the
iurymen, Coroner Sholer said; 81 can
only account for it on the ground that
they fear they may meet with violence If
they hold those men for the grand jury
on the charge of murder"

"THIs Is AN ACE OF GREED. -
Past Grand Secretary of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the
United States F. NJ. Bustsbee, of Ra-
leigh, n. c., was the orator of the day
at the notable celebration of the eighty
fourth anniversary of the order, held in
Norfolk yesterday afternoon. The
Academy of Music was crowded in
honor of the distinguished Odd Fellow.
He urged the members of the order to
remember that Odd Fellowship has
ever stood for patriotism. "This is an
age of greed" he declared. "The
country, all the world, seems to have
gone mad with speculation; danger Is
in the air, danger to the nation itself.
This is a time for the exercise OF all
those attributes which have made Odd
Fellowship one Of the bulwarks of the
nation, as well ms millions of homes. ="
This utterance elected prolonged ap-
plause. The speaker referred to the
duty of the order to the country to see
that our ideals of high humanity were
not perverted to selfish ends, to pre-
serve and protect liberty, the homes
and welfare of the people.

A conference committee from the
Senate and House has finally agreed
upon a general game law. 1t makes
the hunting season east of the Blue
Ridge for cartridges from November to
February, and west of the Blue Ridge
from November to February. Super
visors of counties east of the Blue Ridge
are empowered to shorten the shooting
season by one month if they desire.
Game wardens are to be appointed in
cities to look after the illegal sale OF
game, but only in such counties where
the boards of supervisors desire them.
A license of $40 is assessed on nonres-
ident buntsmen, but this does not APP
ply to guests of landowners. Wild tur-
keys may be tracked in the snow in open
season; but robins, heretofore in the
list of game birds, are classed as insectiv-
orous, and may not be shot at any
season.
1t is stated that the proposed legisla-
tive bill, to lay tax of $50 on pilots,
was killed in committee, when it was
unanimously voted to indefinitely post
pone its consideration.

A drastic antitrust measure was IN
troduced. The bill contains the main

mittee it will cause bitter fight on the
floor. The bill is the most sweeping
yet offered, and VI passed would prevent
combinations in all kinds Of business,
and would practically re-enact the
Wharton insurance law. The bill pre-
pared is under the provisions of section
l65 of the new constitution, which reads
as follows: "The General Assembly
shall enact laws preventing all trusts,
combinations and monopolies inimical
to the public welfare" The attorney
general and the commonwealth attor-
neys are directed to institute prosecu-
tons. The corporation commission Is
required to secure afiidavits from all
corporations in the State certifying

lation.of the provisions of the proposed
law. Penalties for violations range from
So to 500 fine for each days violation.
Individual purchasers may plead this act
in refusal to pay for articles purchased
from persons or corporations violating
this act. Forfeiture of its character is
one of the penalties imposed on yiolat-
ing corporation. Acts of agents bind the
corporation. One of the most vital pro-
visions of the bill prohibits agents,
dealers and corporations from handling
the products of any pool or trust con-
victed of violations. This ofense is
deemed felony, and is punishable by q
penitentiary term not to exceed three
years.
