Who Owns the Railroads.

H. T. Newcomb, of the District Of
Columbia bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,71S depositors in
savings banks Of six eastern states
are directly interested in the Joint
ownership of $442,354,O86 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance COM

portion of their income. Other fdu-
ciary institutions own enough railroad
securities to bring such holdings up
to more than a billion and q half dol
lars, about One-sixth of the entire cap
ital invested in railroad property.
These investments represent the saw
ings of the masses, there being twenty
million holders of life insurance poll
cies in the country, as many more of
fire insurance policies, and an even
greater number of depositors in bank
ing and trust institutions, where in
vestments are largely in railroad secu-
rites.

New Laredo Also Suffers.

Conditions in New Laredo, across
the Rio Grande river, are similar. 1t
Is not officially known how many dead
or injured there are at that city, but
it is stated there are five. The five
known dead, added to the list Of dead
on this side of the river, would bring
the number of dead in both cities up to
Fl persons.
The storm made it's appearance from
the southwest in the neighborhood OF
Lampases, Mexico, 70 miles from Lar.

was wrought in that locality, although
it is not thought that any loss of life
resulted there.
Huts leveled by the Score.
When the storm struck the city the
huts occupied by the poorer classes
were the first to be leveled to the
ground, but as the wind increased in
force the more substantially construct
ed buildings were unroofed and in
many cases were demolished.
The lightning flashed wildly and
continuously, adding to the fears Of
the people. The storm lasted about an

London Society 10 Daily Adding More
to the Lists.
At meeting this week of the Lon
don Mendicity association, an organ
ization formed for the purpose of
counteracting the efforts Of the pro-
fessional beggar, many interesting rev.
Citations as to the methods employed
by the begging fraternity were made.
During the last year the society en-
tended its lists Of street beggars to
$4,000, and in order to keep this ex-
traordinary record completely up to
date the chief commissioner of police
has directed that full particulars of
every street begging case that comes
before the London police courts will
be sent to Sir Eric Buchanan, the So
ciety's secretary.
The society's experts investigated
1869 begging letters last year. They
have now collection of $4,000 such
appeals in their possession. Three
trained investigators were employed
to ascertain whether the writer's Of
begging letters deserved help. Analy-
sis showed that out Of every 100 Is
were sent by absolute impostors, 80
were not deserving of help, and of
the remainder from five to seven were
very deserving. The society's secre-
tary estimates that at least $500 900
Is given in haphazard aims annually.

GATES AND WHEAT DEAL.
He Follows in the Footsteps Of Other
Wheat Kings.

John w. Gates has met the fate of

invincible gambler in the realms of
high finance, is invincible no longer.

Chicago wheat crowd.
1t is the Hrst serious reverse in the
meteoric speculative career of Mr..
Gates, who stepped forth from the
suddenly achieved fame of great or
ganizer and captain of industry few
years ago to startle the financial world
with his exploits in the stock mar
ket. He went from Chicago and rig
ged markets that relieved the wise
men Of Wall street of millions, and he
returned whence he emanated to meet
defeat at the wheat game.

White, Letter, and now Gates, have
contributed to The symposium that re-

who seek to corner the staples of life.
The man who is shrewd enough to
come out a winner has yet to try the
game. 1t has proved too much even for
Gates luck, which mad come to be
proverbial in everything from draw
poker to railroads.
May wheat broke liz cents on the

That represented only a part of his
losses, however, for Gates
was '1ong" on several millions of
bushels still to be delivered. purchas-
ed when the price was way above $1.10
per bushel. This line would make
more than enough bread to supply the
wants of Gates and his friends of the
bull clique if they lived for several
centuries to come, and the only thing
he can do with it will be sell it to the
millers for what they will give.
