COMPELLED TO REDUCE FARES.
Court issues Order Against Railroad In
 Michigan

Grand Rapids. Mich, April 5.-Judge Woleott of the Circuit court to-day is sued a mandamus compelling the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad to reduce it's fares in the state from three cents mile to 1-2 cents mile.
 The mandamus is peremptory, but the road is given ten days in which to make a showing to the court that it has com piled with the order.
 This is the last step in the long liti- gatlon with the Grand Rapids and h. diana to compel them to comply with the statute which provides for the fare of 21-2 cents per mile whenever the earnings of railroad reach $2,O0O per mile. The case was originally decided by Judge Wolcott, and has been unani- mously confirmed by the Supreme courts of the state and of the United States.

Unsucccssfaf Attempt to Rescue King
 Leopold's Daughter from Asyium.

Berlin, April 5.-Mattiasich, the for mer lieutenant in the Austrian army whose intrigues with the Princess Lou ise of Coburg, eldest daughter of King Leopold of Belgium, caused her hus- band to have her detained in private asylum for the insane at Coswig, suburb of Dresden, Saxony, made an unsuccessful attempt to rescue the princess several days ago. He arrived at CosWig in an automobile, expecting the cooperation of restaurant keeper whom he had initiated into the plan, but the latter told third persons, through whom the physicians in charge of the asylum were informed of the facts in the case After waiting for several days in the vicinity to see if the princess took daily drive, Matti- asich concluded that the attempt was useless, for the princess was nowhere visible. Mattiasich announced in a book which was recently published in Vienna his inflexible purpose to liber- ate the princess from what he regards her unjust captivity

Wiil be Temporary Chairman of Ohio
 Democratic state Conveutfon.
 Columbus, Ohio, April 5.-The demo- cratic state central committee met here this afternoon and decided to hold the state convention at Columbus on May 24 and 25.
 R. L. Starr, a supporter of w. R. Hearst for president, was selected for temporary chairman and w. s. Beebe for temporary secretary of the conven- ton.
 Many politicians are inclined to re- gard the outcome as of more signifi- canoe in state than national affairs, claiming that it is distinctively a de- feat for Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, who has controlled the state committee since 1902.
 The present committee was chosen a year ago. and it's members were all al that time adherents of Mayor Johnson. MT. Johnson was not present at the meeting day. His choice for tenn porary chairman of the convention was Lewis B. Houck, of Mount Vernon. All of the committeeman who opposed Houck were formerly active and warm supporters of Johnson.

PASTORS POCKET PICKED
CASE OF CLEVER THEFT IN
 BRIDGEPORT CHURCH.
Rev. George ". Nicholson Relieved of Considerable Roll During Baptism of Class of chinamen Last sunday . A committee Appointed to Inves,i- gate Matter.

Bridgeport, April 5.-It became known here tonight that Rev. George W. Nicholson, pastor of the First Bap- tist church, was the victim of clever pickpocket some time during the spe- cial Easter musical service in his church on Washington avenue Sunday night The case promises to be one of the most interesting of its kind that has ever been given to the police of this city, owing to the peculiar circum- stances. Rev. MT. Nicholson's church is one of the foremost and most fash ionable churches of the Baptist denom- ination in Bridgeport.
 The pastor refuses to discuss the sub ject, except to say that big roll of money was taken from him during the service, and that it was in a lower pocket of his vest. He also refuses to state the amount of the roll.
 A committee of members of the church has been appointed to investi- gate the affair, and it is reported to- night that the committee is of the opinion that the pickpocket got in his work during the baptismal service, in which six Chinamen were baptized. For many years Chinamen have come to the church in classes, and the teach CTS, daughters of well-known business and professional men, have been sue cessful in converting them. Each year a class is baptized, and a good deal of good work in converting the wearers of the queue has been done. In this par ticular church the class this year has been large. The baptismal candidates are led up to the font in a body, and those who are Investigating the case claim that 1t was during the several moments in which the Chinamen were being baptized that the pastors roll of money was taken. Suspicion tonight, it was stated, rested on the Chinamen and some exciting developments are ex- pected soon.
 The church is located in the Golden Hill section of the city, one of the most fashionable residential sections in Bridgeport

U. s. STEEL DECLARES
 THE USUAL DIVIDEND
DEFICITFoR QUARTER CREATED
 TO MEET PAYMENT.
Earnings for same Period the Lowest fin the History of ths Corporasion but Better, is is Said, Than the Most Ex- travagant Estimates of outsidsrs--N. Action on aue.non of Dividend on
Common stoch

New York, April 5.-Directors of the United States Steel corporation to-day declared the regular quarterly divided of 1 S-4 per cent. on the preferred stock. The amount thus applied to the divi-' dend was s6,8O4,91s, and in order to meet this payment deficit for the quarter i of $1,875,12 was created.
 Earnings for the last quarter (March estimated at $5,S00,0O0) amounted to $l3, POS, ,SS6. Although the lowest in the corporations history, they were better than the most extravagant estimates made by outsiders. They were less by S1, 82S,295 than earnings for the fourth
 quarter of last year. It was thought that the corporations new system of accounting, inaugurated with the new year, under which earnings are not credited until the product has actually been sold, would tend to reduce profits 1 in this quarter. The balance of $4,447,- 799, applicable to dividends was struck after $1,945,645 had been paid off to the sinking funds of the constituent com panies depreciation and reserve funds, and $6,815.442 was charged to interest on the corporations bond and sinking l funds for the quarter
 Earnings for the first quarter of 1903 were $25,06S, TOT and for the correspond ing period of 1902 were $26, I'll, ,457, in
 both cases more than enough to meet dividends on both preferred and corn- mon shares.
 Unflled orders on hand for the quar- ter amounted to 4,136,961 tons, an in-
 crease Of s921, ,SSS tons over the quarter ended December S1 last. The preferred l dividend is payable May IS. | Action on the dividend was reported | to be unanimous. No action was taken
 on the question of dividend on the common stock.
