Supreme Court Receivers al Topeka Seized Buildings
 Containing Saloons.

Topeka, Kan, April o9.-The three receivers appointed by the state su- preme court last week to take charge of the property in Kansas of eight outside brewing companies, and of a real estate concern operated by one liquor firm, made it's report to the court here to-day. The report shows that the receivers have taken posses sion of nine buildings, four at Atchi- son, and five at Leavenworth.
 They also are in possession of q large assortment of bars, fixtures and mirrors. Not much liquor has been taken. Most of the places where seizures were made have been sa- looms, and the liquor was claimed by parties ether than the brewing com panies.
 The receivers believe that the brewery companies will take some ac- tion to protect their property now that the formal report of the seizures has been filed.
 The brewery attorneys say they are waiting for definite authority on how to proceed. On Thursday next motion to appoint receiver in Kansas for the Anheuser- Busch Brewery company will be argued in the supreme court. This company was the only one of the foreign con cerns to fight the move for receiver ships and it was not included in the list of companies for which receivers were named

BARIL'S MONEY GONE.
Drew It from Bank Expecting to Buy
 Real Estate.

Real Estate.
 Joseph Baril of 90 Welton street, undoubtedly wished that he had not drawn out $75O, which he had in one of the local banks until last Thurs day, on which day he drew out the roll with the expectation of purchas- ing some real estate. That evening he left all but few dollars ill his room at the address named above, though he was out only couple of hours, when he returned the money was gone. He had taken only $30 from the roll, consequently the thief made good haul as $120 cannot be picked up every day.
 The case is rather peculiar, but the police and detectives have not as yet landed the thief. Baril declares that he told no one he was about to draw the money, but evidently some one be- came aware of the fact.
 When Baril returned from town Thursday evening he was surprised to find his room ransacked and the window open. The drawers were pulled out of the bureau and the con- tents of the room showed that some one had been turning things around a few. Naturally he made a bee line to where he had placed the money and was mortified to find it gene. Members of his family stated that they heard sounds coming from the room, but did not pay any attention to them.
 The detectives have their suspicious as to the person who took the money and an arrest might come later.

 pletcly Gutted To-day.

Bridgeport, April 29.-A fire which practically destroyed the Tait X Sons Paper company's plant early to-day gave the fire department good deal of trouble and it was only after a great effort that it was kept from spreading to nearby residences.

It was a long low structure and it was com pletely gutted from one end to the other. The fire broke out before the days work began and gained consid- erable headway before it was dis covered, so much so that the firemen were unable to control it. A double alarm brought out nearly every ap- paratus in the city and three engines were kept at work until afternoon.
 The loss to the building Is about &2O,OOO while the machine and stock of Tait X Sons were valued at about $45,0OO. Both stock and machinery were almost completely ruined. One hundred hands are thrown out of work on account of the fire, but it is understood that the plant will be re- built shortly. The fire officials were unable to learn how the fire started and an investigation has been order ed.
 The loss will amount to $75,000, with insurance to the amount of $45.000. A temporary building will be occupied to continue the busi- ness.

 Consul Waits Waiting
TROUBLE LOOKED FOR

St Petersburg. April 29.-Despite the secession of the syndicate of bakers which granted the demands of the men,. the master bakers asso- citation is attempting to continue the lockout. Six thousand journeymen, about two-thirds of the trade, who refused to accept work under the old conditions, are idle to-day. Never theless the inhabitants are only slightly inconvenienced. Bread is almost everywhere obtainable. The syndicate bakers are working full time, but many of the smaller baker, les are being operated with reduced force.

It is ex- pected that the St Petersburg em- ployers will be forced to yield. A meeting of the employers has been called for tomorrow for the purpose of considering concessions which may be made.
