There i coaster* nation among the saloon men * Cham.kb Williams, a Delphi grocer, made an assignment a few <:.sys ago; William Haugh, assignee. Assets and liabilities about equal. The supreme court bas reversed the decision of the lower court and held that the express companies of the state must pay tax, thus holding valid the action of 1S93, taxing express compan* ies upon each mile of “route” within the state. The decision is to the effect that the assessment is oti actual prop* erty. ^ A meeting of the grocers of the state, together with the jobbers interested in handling tobacco, will be held in Indianapolis in the near future to take action with reference to the tobacco trust, at which time an effort will be made to pass a resolution declining to handle goods placed on the market by the American tobacco trust.

The American 'Trust Co. places an enormous amount of goods in Indiana, but the leaden in the opposition movement claim that if concerted action is agreed upon enough good-selling brands of cigarettes can be secured to supply the. trade and only the trust would be the sufferer. They add, however, that the spirit of antagonism could be quickly abated if only the trust would lower its prices so that the margin for handling would yield a liv

TRAMPLED TO DEATH. Wwirtjr-Tfcm Persons Killed In » Haiti, ■sore Theater, During a Wild Bush foe the Kxits, Caused by a False Alarm of Fixe—Many Others Injured, Some of Whom Will Die—Almost a Blot on the Outside. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 28.—Twentythree persons were crushed and trampled to death in a panic at Front-street theatre last night. Several others 'were injured, some of whom will, it is? believed, die. « The United Oriental Opera and Dramatic Company, of Boston, under the man-agement of Sehongold & Tansman, was billed to present the Jewish opera “Alexander,” and the theater was filled with a motley throng. About 2,000 persons were in the house when the orchestra began playing the introductory. A, strong odor of gas was noticed id the second gallery of the theater and one of the attaches of the place was seen hunting for the leak with a lighted torch. Suddenly a jet of flame flashed out as the torch came in contact with the punctured gas pipe. Cries of “Fire!” were heard. in the upper galleries, and in an instant the excitement became intense. Some one rushed-t-o the gas meter and turned off the supply, plunging the main body of ! the honse into darkness. The stage jeta alone remained lighted, being fed through another ^teter. Instead of allaying the excitement caused by ; the sheet of4 flame from the leaking pipe, fhe turning off of the gas and consequent darkness only served to add to the confusion. * The actors on the stage and a few cool heads in the andience added to the turmoil by shouting their commands to “Sit down,” and cursing those who were most vigorous in their efforts to

get oyt. The struggling mass of humanity made little or no headway for a few minutes; every aisle was congested, and every doorway jammed' <with the frantic Poles and Russian Jews who mainly composed the gathering. The strong men in the rear of the. panic-stricken mob climbed upoij the shoulders of those in fhrat/ernshing the Weaker men, women and children, to the floor to be trampled to death by those still further in the rear. For several minutes the wild fight continued. Then a few policemen forced a passageway t & the.main entrance and began ragging forth those who were jamrac :l in the. door's! A rushing stream of h manity flowed out on Front street un 1 all those who were able to move rt ached the openair. A majority of the vie ms were young men, girls and childr n. They were tenderly carried to t e fj-ont of the house and taken to t e city hospital and the morgue as fa,;t as the ambulances and patrol wagons Could make the trips. Great crowd% followed the ambulances and patrol'Wagons and stormed the entrances to the hospital and morgue in their anxiety to learn if their relatives or friends were among the injured or dead. Twenty-three dead bodies were finally taken from the theater. Ten persons, more or less injured, are at the city '“‘hospital, and two of these may die.s ! Several others were taken to their homes in carriages suffering from contusions or broken bones. The death list will probably exceed twen* ty-five. , ’ ■> BROKE THROUGH THE ICE. Narrow Escape of Princess Louise Sophie and Baroness Colmar and Their WouldBe Rescuer.

A witness c>f the mishap named Hankwitz endeavored to ' rescue them with the' aid of a pbli, to which the ladies clung, but the ice kept breaking away and threw Hankwitz also into# the water, all three being in danger of drowning. A son of Hankwitz ran to the rescue and with the aid of a ladder succeeded in saving the ladies and his father. The princess and the Baroness were carried to the castle of Princess Frederick Leopold in an exhausted condition, but they recovered from their 'shock and exposure,.

YESTERDAY’S CABINET MEETING. The President Expected to Sell One Hundred Bullions In Bonds. Washington Dee. 2$.--Secretary Carlisle spent most of the day yesterday in consultation with the president and was at the treasury only for a few minutes. The impassion is general that the president. Hiving up to the language, of hismfc^gtge to congress on its opening..will withih a short *ime sell 5100,000.000 bonds, unless there is evidence that some measure will pass congress speedily. ’ The best opinion is that the' chances for the. senate and house to concur quickly in any measure that will meet the approval of the president, are slight.
