Automobile Goes Into River.

Nathan Adler and M. c. Wea- yer were given an experience on Sunday morning which came near costing the former his au- tomobile, and which did, at least, give the car severe duck ing. These gentlemen had just crossed White river at Gay- nor's Ferry, a few miles west of the city, yesterday morning, and driven the car upon the slippery bank. When the ferry man released the boat and started it back across the stream the automobile began to skid and backed into the river~.g going to the bottom in fifteen feet of watt CT. When the car began to back MT. Adler jumped out just in time, however, to escape the plunge which his car took.

Big Bubbles Pricked.

The New York Times says of the Claflin company's failure that it is a house of cards which has fallen," and the Wall Street Journal declares that the big corporation failed because it was based on a combination of wholesale and retail business, which imposed on it a financial burden heavier that it could bear" It declares that the late J. P. Morgan, who is said to have been interested in financing the top-heavy concern, saw this clearly, and that it is not too much to say that had he been alive the result would have been foreseen and therefore rendered largely harmless"
 In the opinion of the Spring field Republican, what the New Haven was in railroading the Claflin company seems to have been in merchandising. The pa- rallel in some ways is striking. In both cases one finds the old, well-etablished concern with a character beyond reproach and a reputation for unfailing profits and dividends transformed into an overweighted, unweildy and unmanageable enterprise. Ideas of business prudence tested by centuries of experience were thrown to the winds in financing them. The principle of combina- tion was supposed to carry some magic with it capable of nullify-
 ing even the multiplication ta- hle."
