 Teamsters and horsemen in gen. eral are complaining of the trolley tracks on Exchange place. Two ac- cidents occurred there during the past few days which could easily have been very dangerous. Dr Brown was thrown out of his sleigh, one of it's runners having caught in the troll ley track, and to-day about noon an other man was dumped out in the same manner but at a different place on the track The accident to Dr Brown occurred opposite Harrison avenue. while the one to-day hap pened opposite Bauby's fruit store. In each case the driver held onto the reins and thus prevented a runaway. Another bad spot on the trolley track is at the bend on North square above the watering trough. Accidents are SO common there that people no long CT wonder at them. Every day horses fall. with more or less disagreeable results to the driver,

NEW SPECIES
 MARINE ANIMAL.

University of California, Jan B. The Shasta county fossil beds that have been so prolific in the produc- ton of the remains of prehistoric ex- tinct animals, have yielded still an other specimen to the scientific world and the zoological kingdom. It was discovered by John 0. Merriam, pro lessor of paleondogy at the Uiliver- sity of California The animal ap- pears to have been of a family entire ly unknown to paleontologfsts and has been named the thalattosanrus. It is huge sea lizard and is estimat- ed to have been at least seven feet long. Originally 1t was shore form, but became after. q long period a ma rine animal.
 Professor Merriam says the re- mains represent not only a new spe- cies, a new family and a new genus but new order.

CAUSE OF DULLNESS.
Blockade on Railroads and the Very
 Extreme Cold.

New York, Jan Especial telegrams concerning business features from cor, respondents of the International Mer- cantile agency throughout the United States and Canada are summarized as follows:
 Tn addition to dul1ness incidental to the first week of the year, block ades to traffic and trucking, caused by snow and extremely cold weather, have interefered with attention, to mail or ders and full recovery from holiday stagnatlon. War rumors have result ed in great irreguIarity in the stock and cotton markets and have stimu- lated prices for cereals, provisions and copper In addition, coffee is lower on It's Statistical position and tin higher on improved demand
 The most encouraging feature is found in the resumption of work at factory, foundry, mill and furnace ot 6O,OOO men. who have been temporarily idle in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
 Banks at larger cities are said to be in a much stronger position than in creased loan accounts would indicate, and that trust company reserves, nota- bly, at New York, are exceptionally heavy.
 Demand for steel and coke has inn proved materially. Ra1l mills have contracts to keep them busy until April
 Leather shipments are active, but dry goods jobbers are hanging back. Print stocks are pretty well depleted, with only fair orders. The shoet in dustry has had a record year.
 Boston bankers state they think the industrial prospect is fair and look for gains. Trade has been quiet in the Canadian dominion. Iron and steel makers are extending plants to take advantage of the government bounty. The years operations in coal and cop Banks report large gains in deposits. Nearly 200 branch banks have been es tablished within year.
 Dealers in shoes, clothing. jewelry, implements and provisions tell of gains in 1903 over previous years.

STEAMER
 GROUNDED
Fall River Liner In
 Bad Condition.
The Priscilla. With Two Hundred Passengers on Board. In Danger The Boat Was Floated This Morning.

Newport, R. T., Jan B. While feslinx her way in fog towards her dock fz this city, the Fall River line Steamer Priscilla, bound from New York f0x Newport and Fall River, struck bottom early to-day near the Lime Rock ligntz house, about one mile from the wharz The shock was so slight that not one Of the 200 passengers on board kaew that an accident had happened. Per- feet discipline prevailed, the wateg. tight compartments were closed imm4- diately and there was little to indicafS that the ship had not just landed a<| her dock.
 Later, when 1t appeared that the steamer was hard aground, the paasefis gers were notified and were IaudeH here after daylight by the small steam CT running from Newport to James town, which had put out to assist th& Priscilla.
 The accident is attributed to ths dense fog which prevailed and to the inability of the olacers to hear tha! usual harbor fog signal. The PriscillAH was not inured, and after an examine tion this forenoon it was believed that the steamer could undoubtedly be doHts ed at high water, about 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 <. ~ The Er1ScIlIa STTuck AE extreme t0H* water and was only about 100 yards off her usual course. Owing to fha. thick weather, Captain Elijah Davis, the commodore of the Fall River Line was in the pilot house, and the boat was turning into the inner harboxE Suddenly she st2pped and the eapfail2| knew at once that she had touched the bottom. Immediately the waterS| tight compartments were closed and all the officers took up positions just as if the steamer had struck on x dangerous shore. A quick examin4@ ton showed that there was no danger and the passengers were not warnef until later when the JamestpWn steamer came along and offered as sistance.
 At 8 a. m. the freight steamer FHll River passing through on her w>lN from New York to the former poIf. was summoned by Captain Davis and he ran down near the Priscilla. IhNa tugs Solicitor Waterman and the' wrecker J K. Sullivan also came outI from Newport and they will try fo| pull off the big steamer at flood tide.
 As the tide came in during the fQre.I noon it was decided to make an nt@| fempt to float the Priscilla hefor&i high water. At 9.30 the tugs pulled on the steamer and with the aid of' her own steam she was fioated. Sha| proceeded to her dock uninjured-

RUSSELL SAGE MISSED.
Is Only Seen On Wall Street at Fre-
 quent Intervals Now.

New York, Jan. S.-Wall street practically has lost one of its most interesting characters. Russell Sage although still insisting upon visiting his office once or twice week, has de parted from his long life habit of ar irving there daily with clock-like reg. ularity regardless of weather condi. uons and in fact is now seen in Wal street at infrequent intervals. He has gradually withdrawn from partfcipa' ton in great financial affairs only al the earnest solicitation of his friends and Mrs. Sage but the trusted employ es who have served him many years still handle the loan business on the stock exchange.
 Mir. Sage who is S7 years old spends most of his time in his new Fifth ave nue home and is said to be in his usual state of health.

THE BROKEN ICE IffPEDES NAVIGATION.

New York, Jan s.--The ice fields in the North river and the New York bay are more troublesome to navigation than for many years, river craft being swept from their moorings in numerous cases to-day.
 Since Sunday the ice has been q menace to tugs and feTryboats that ventured out into the river, but the in creasing amount of ice from up river points made navigation to-day espe- cially dilatory and dangerous. Ice in the ferry slips caused additional nol- ble. but the greatest danger came from the billing up of immense fields of ice through which narrow lanes for navi- gation were cut by the big ferries.
