 Shipper.

Chicago, Dec 29.--The federal grand jury today returned an indictment against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, Daraius Miller, first vice president and c. G. Burnham, foreign freight agent on the charge of granting railroad rebates.

In all cases the United States Steel Products company was the recipient of money according to the in- dictment
 As soon as the indictment was laid before Judge Bethea in the United States circuit court, he fixed bonds of $5000 in each case and the officials of the Burlington road were notified to call and give bail to the amount of LOGO, which they agreed to do without delay.

TRADED IN COPPER
 AND PRICES WENT UP
The Cause of Failure of Boston BFok-
 craze Firm.

Boston, Dec. 29.-The recent rise in copper stock on the Boston exchange was an important contributing cause to the suspension today of the stock brokerage firm of H. R. Leighton and company, which assigned for the ben eft of it's creditors. Although the firm is not member of the stock exchange, the assignment was adjudged of con- siderable importance from the fact that the firm has some forty branch offices all but three of them in New England cities and towns. The outside offices are at Montreal, Halifax, N. S., and St. John, N. F.
 The assignee is Chas. E. Allen, a law yer of this city. The firm stated that suspension was due to the failure of a member of the Boston stock eX- change to meet his obligation to the company and to outstanding invest ments in copper to a greater or less extent, upon which necessary money could not be realized. No financial statement was issued, but it is thought the liabilities may reach $500, 600.
 Almost all the larger cities of New England are affected by the .suspen- sion. There are several hundred cred itors scattered throughout. New Eng land and Canada.
 The failure had no effect on the stock market.

MISTAKE IN THE BILL.

A gentleman who recently returned from a tour in Spain tells this story: He left Seville on foot. after a stay of a week. and was twenty miles away. when he was overtaken by the landlord of the hotel where he had stopped The innkeeper rode alongside of his guest for nearly an hour before he found courage to make known his business
 ''If the senor and God pleases," be- gan apologetically. "I made mistake in his bill yesterday"
 How" I inquired.
 ''I forgot to make a charge for his candles to light him to bed
 But it was moonlight, and had no candles
 "Then, senior. with the help of God. I forgot to charge you with moonlight" ! The charge amounted to two cents in American money. and he had hired an ass and ridden twenty miles to collect it. I was amused and astOnished- Then I accused him of being a robber. and offered him cent to settle the bill He worked up a beautiful smile and held out his hand.
 "I will take it with thanks. senior" he said, "and God will bless you for an honest man!"-Chicago Inter Ocean.

DIVORCEES BARRED
 FROM VATICAN
Other Unworthy Americans to be Ex.
 cluded from the Pope's Presence.

Rome, Dec. 29.-The vatican author ities have received remonstrances from several American bishops against the audiences granted by the pope % Am ericans, who, in the opinion of these bishops, were not worthy of the honor, which it is added, created dissatisfac- tion among the faithful.
 The pope has also been informed that among the persons presented to him few days ago was an American woman who had been divorced. This irritated the pontiff, who declared that such a presentation must not occur again.
 The officials of the vatican are also recalling that two Americans recently refused to kneel when the pope ap- peared and the persons having author ity in these matters have been ordered to be more strict in arriving at decis- ions upon applications from Americans for audiences of the pope. American applicants in the future must be rec commended by their respective bishops or have their applications supported by a recognized official here.

Some of them started off in direc- tion directly opposite from that in which their cote lay. When. however. the eclipse had nearly ceased other pigeons took the right direction at once.
