GRAIN HOUSE FAILS.
Merritt & Co. Caught by the Decline
in Corn.

Chicago, April 6--Suspension of the
cash grain house of w. H. Merritt &
Co. was announced on the board of
trade today. Customers We're notified
to close out their trades.
w. H. Merritt & Co. has for many
years been one of the most important
firms in the cash grain trade and the
failure caused great surprise.
The reasons for the suspension are
closely analogous to those which on
Monday forced another cash grain
house-the Burns Yantis Grain COM
pany-to suspend; namely, the decline
in corn recently. Eastern customers of
the Merritt company. having bought
at the high price for later delivery, are
said to have repudiated their contracts
when the market declined.
This forced the brokers to seek other
outlets for their grain and while hold
ing it much of it went hot'' or in
other words, rotted. member of the
firm declared that creditors would be
paid in full.

SURE RAPID TRANSIT.
Inventor Has Scheme to Unload Pas
sengers Going so Miles an Hour.

Washington, April 6.-Rapid transit
as it perhaps had never been dreamed
of by any other man. has been offered
to the postoff1ce department by an
Ellington, Ill, inventor.
This inventor has scheme to run
a railroad train at the rate of 80 miles
an hour for 500 miles without stop
ping. which he claimed would unload
passengers, mail and baggage mean
while. His device would whirl the
most delicate passenger out of the car
and into the station without lessening
the speed of the train or injuring the
passenger. It would do the same with
the mails. he said.
On the grounds that congress gave
to the postoffice department no au-
-thority to buy railroad equipment, the
