RAILROADS AND ICE.
Testimony as to Discrimination Intro-
 duced i'm Toledo.

Toledo. O.. Aug. 14.-Judson c. Glenn ent. member of the Interstate Com merce Commission, began an inquiry on behalf of the Government into the rela- tions between the railroads entering Toledo and the ice companies shipping over these lines.
 Forty witnesses have been summoned ana MT. Clements believes the investi- 0aflon can be completed in two days.
 Joseph A. Miller, manager of the Toledo Ice and Coal Company and one of the men sentenced to the workhouse by Judge Kincaid for conspiracy in restraint of trade. was the first witness called by the Government.
 Miller's testimony was to the effect that previous to five years ago. when he became manager of the Ice company, he was purchasing agent for the Ann Arbor Railroad; but while an agent for the road he had sold ice for the ice com pany. and was paid by the road, and that Wellington R. Burt, President of the Ann Arbor Railroad. and Harry Ashley. General Manager. were direc- tors of the Ice company, and that practical yall of the stock In the ice company was owned by the railroad people.
 He further testified that the offices of the ice company Is located on Ann Arbor Railroad property. but that no rent was paid. Miller testified that as manager of the ice company, he trav- eled over the road on annual pass.
 Ed schuler, manager of the Schuler Ice Company, with ice houses along the line of the Ann Arbor Road, testi- fled his company received no favors from the road, and that their houses were not on railroad property.
 W. A Bradley, Superintendent of the Ann Arbor Railroad and a stockholder in the Toledo Ice and Coal Company. when asked by Commissioner Clements how he could justify the acts of his road in giving favors to one ice com pahy and withholding them from an otber, frankly answered that such acts could not be Justified, but that he had nothing to do with the arrangements. Luther Walter. attorney, for the com- mission. made a statement that those who testified for the Government would be immune from punishment. but If convictions followed the corporations ! they represent would be punished.

THE MYSTERIOUS BRINDAMouR.
He Again Mystifles Audience at the
 Casino Theatre.

He Again Mystifies Audience at the
 Casino Theatre.
 Brindamour. the man who has broken out of four hundred jails and peniten- tiaries all over the world, including Sing Sing. startled another fair sized audience at the Electric Park Casino last evening.
 Handcuffs and manacles. and even a strong iron cage, were no bar to his liberty. Handcuffs of the most approv- ed pattern were locked upon his wrists by a committee from the audience, but from these he freed himself within few seconds within full view of the audience.
 Today he will be placed in a cell at police headquarters and will attempt to escape within ninety seconds He will be placed in the cell securely manacled with handcuffs and leg-irons.
 Later in the week Brindamour will do a stunt which is said to be the most wonderful on the stage. Some mer- chant in the city will select his own Roods-box, send 1t fa the park and. if he wishes stay with 1t until time for the performance. Brindamour will be bound and placed in the box and nailed up From this. if he Is as sue cessful as at all other times. he will escape while the box Is under a cloth on the stage of the Casino. He claims that an examination will show that no nails have been drawn and that the empty handcuffs are still in the box.
 Besides Brindamour's act several other clever acts are on the, program at the Casino including singing and dane ing skIts. The Cameragraph views are better than usual showing series of moving pictures with a marriage en auto as the piece de resistance.

 Gdod.

 T may be called from Montgomery on official business he said, but so far as recreation Is concerned I shall not go away again thts summer.
 Mrs. Jelks and Miss Catherine Jeiks returned to Montgomery with thA Governor. They will stay at the Gov ernor's residence on North Bain. bridge street until about the begin. ming of September when they will go to Eufauia. There. Mrs. Jelks will put the big house of the Jelks in or der for the coming of the Governor In January.
 Governor Jeiks said yesterday that he had lease on the Bainbridge street house until October ist and that he had not renewed the lease as 1t was the. desire of Mrs. Jelks to return to Eufauia.
 Have you formed any plans for the future after going out of offace7" the Governor was asked
 Yes I have" he replied. "Tenta- tive plans but have not given them out yet"

Among the DeTnocrats 1t Is Berge against che field with the opposition apparently unable to unite If there is to be split be- tween the two parties 1t will be over the head of the ticket.
