Predictions Realized.

New York, Wall Street,
December 8-Tom Lawson OF
Boston has carried out his
threat. He has exposed the
Standard Oil company and is
breaking their stocks, as he
said he would. The semi-pan-
&c begun yesterday broadened
into a far reaching panic of
huge proportions.
In the first hour of TODAY.
from the tap of the gong, ire
selling orders came
on the market which the Rock
teller interests endeavored in
vain to stop. Then for a time
the "frenzied financiers" gave
up their efforts to avert a crash
and prices tumbled like a
house of cards.
Colorado Fuel and Iron
stock is one of the greatest
sufferers and Amalgamated
Copper had a terrific slump of
prices.
Lawson prophesies that the
worst is yet to come.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Half the fun of being bad is the way
1t makes good people envy you.
Before the honeymoon reaches its
last quarter the bridegroom reaches
his last cent.
Being great political leader is
making other people believe what you
don't believe yourself.
The average girl would rather have
able wooden stockings.
A woman's arms have to be awful
thin for her to think they aren't
shapely in spite of it.
There isn't nearly as much enjoy
ment in being a drinking man If no
body in your family objects.
What a girl loves about a football
game is that, not knowing anything
about it, she can pretend to enjoy it
wildly.
1t is very easy to get mad with
somebody for doing what 1t would be
very unreasonable for anybody to get
mad over IL you did it.
It makes a woman think a corpora

Is that there is too much ventilation

The finding a collar and necktie satu'
rated with blood at the intersection Of
Duke and Royal streets early yesterday
morning, which caused some specu-
iation, has been explained. On Monday
night Young man under the influence
of liquor, and who had been severely
beaten and cut, was conducted to the
Alexandria Hospital by some friends tor
treatment. His necktie and collar were
removed and the needed attention rem
dered. When the men lett one OF the
party picked up the bloody articles and
implied that he intended to throw them
into a sewer. They made no expla.
nations at the hospital, and it is supposed
the injured man had engaged in fight

last Saturday night near The double

extended to Four-mile run, we're con-

out no one has been seriously hurt SO
far. and the turmoiIs yesterday and last
night we're limited to a war OF words
1t is said that the troubles have been
superiuduced by various causes, mostly
grievances, real or ianciful, which the

that the storm has about blown over and
that more tranquil conditions are to
follow.

an ugly mood, and because tine breakfast
did not suit him, started to correct Miller.
When the negro saw the big fist come up
towards him he threw the coffee pot at
John L. vering him from head to foot
with the scalding beverage. The n 'g'o
ran and did not stop short Of the hotel
roof, where he was proof againt all per-
