L. Brown recently began a suit In the Supreme Court to recover about $4000 invested, he alleged, in Columbia Land Sc Lumber Co. a bonds. He also sued W. E.

Manning and J. H. Langley, alleging false and fraudulent misrepresentations concerning the standing and prospects of the company. The defendants bava now filed their answers, in which Mr. Langley saya that the charge that the company owns no land In Kentucky is untrue that the cash capital is paid in and that whan the plaintiff subscribed for the bonds, he knew all about the company.

It is also denied that it was ever represented that the deposit of cannel coal on the companys property equalled In quality the English coal. The answer of the defendant company is substantially like that of Mr. Langley, except that it is alleged that the plaintiff has violated his contract with the company and that money is due from him to the company. Mr. Manning says that ha is a stranger to the whole transaction and calls upon the plaintiff to prove his charge against him.

The Court will have to decide the case later on. Boston Serves Free Soap No Longer. The custom of free distribution of scrap to the poor by the police of this city during the cold season long evoked opposition from various quarters, and now it has been abandoned altogether. Last winter the customary appropriation for soup was made by the City Government, but it was returned untouched to the city treasurer on account of the utter unwillingness of the Board of Police to longer continue its men in the work of making and distributing the soup, which task had in tha past always fallen to their lot. This winter not even the customary appropriation has been allowed, and so the soup-houses have been quietly but effectually abandoned.

Fortunately the present winter has not been severe, and the loss of the soup privilege has probably been little felt, except it he that the mildness of the winter haa had a tendency to deprive laboring men of opportunities to work. In this case the citys free soup must he sadly missed by many a worthy poor person. Mine Deaths from Ls Grippe.

MUSCATEL Mine. London, Feb.

13. The monster procession of the Salvation Army today upon tho occasion of the triumphal entry into London of General Booth is by far the greatest effort ever made by the Salvationists to attract attention to their work. General Booth, who. after his exciting day af Southampton yesterday, spent the night at Portsmouth, travelled to London this morning, where there was a great demonstration at Victoria Station. The general made a short stay at the Grosvenor Hotel, adjoining the depot, and thence a procession was formed marching by way of Grosvenor place to Hyde Park Corner and into the park itself.

In this parade there were fully 6000 in line, the number being limited to that in order that the procession should not encumber the streets for too long a time, hut there were fully 20.000 other Salvationists iu the ilirongs winch witnessed the show. Previous to the passage of the procession through the streets. General Booth bad been driven to the Victoria Hotel, and he reviewed the troora as they filed past the veranda facing Buckingham palace road. He was vigor- oosYy cheered. The procession left Hyde Park hr the Albert Gate, proceeded no William street, Eccleston street and Buckingham Palace road, past the Victoria Hotel, from there by way of Grosvenor Gardena, through Belgravia.

and through Queen Victoria street, where it disbanded. FLOODED AMEER MINES. Six Miners Drowned by the Unusual Tides In the Baltic. Beklix, Feb. 13.

A despatch received from Konlgsbnrg, East Prussia, reports a peculiar and fatal accident near that place. The Government of Konlgsbnrg is bounded on the north by the Baltic, snd slang the shores of this sea is obtained a large proportion ef the worlds supply of amber. This substance is there pertly cast up by the sea. partly obtained by means of nets and partly dug out of a bed of bituminous wood. Last nigbt an exceedingly heavy sea was running in the Baltic and the high waves swept far inland past their usual hounds.

Close to the shore near Palmnicken. a small fishing town, is an amber mis in which a number of men were working. They of coarse had no knowledge of the fact that the rising tide was bringing the heavv seas in dangerous proximity to the entrance of the ml ae. Suddenly the water began to poor into the mine in a perfect torrent, filling the small workings. The men made a wild rush to escape, but six of them found it impossible to breast the torrent and were drowned, BURNED COTTON WASTE.

Bishop's Factory in South Boston Damaged Some Other Fires. Robert Bishop's cotton-waste factory on East Sixth. Tudor and East Seventh streets. South Boston, was partially destroyed by fire last night. Two attempts to sound an alarm from Box 134 proved unsuccessful, but engine 15 came to the scene in response to an automatic alarm.

The fire started in the second story about eight oclock, and soon the upper part of the building was in flames. It took half an hoar to prevent the spread of the fire in the direction of an adjoining wooden building. Then a building across the street caught fire and the firemen had to devote considerable attention to that. After a two-hours fight the fire was subdued. The stock on the lower floors of the burned building, consisting of sorted and dyed material, was damaged considerably by water.

The total loss on stock will be 17.000, and on the building folly covered by insuranee.wbich is placed with Curtis Clarke, No. 85 Water street. About one hnndred girls employed in the sorting-room are thrown out of work by the fire. An officer of Division 1 extinguished a fire in the carpenter shop of Norman 1L Gray, No. 85 llaTsrhill street, at nine o'clock last night.

The Victorias Mishap Caused by Carelessness. Proposed Naval Demonstration in the Levant. London. Feb. 13.

The rumor that an attempt would be made today to float the steamship Eider drew to Atherfield a number of spectators yesterday. It was found that the vessel must be still lightened of her remaining cargo and the work of pumping out the water further advanced before the attempt to float her is likely to ho successful. The local ship men persist that it is not probable that the Eider will ever he moved from the rest They calculate that her stem is now embedded thirty feet. Near the Eider are visible at low water the masts of the Sirenia, the hall of the Cormorant and three other wrecks, silent but eloquent reminders of the dangers of the coast. The British ironclad Victoria was docked at Malta yesterday.

Lord George Ha mil ton has announced in the House of Commons today that the accident to the Victoria waa the fa ct of an inquiry by a court martial, but he refused to give details. An Associated Press representative learned, however, that the ac-etoca portal tansons assembling in the Levant of the fleets of he great powers.

Feb. 13. The pope gave a special audience yesterday to Mr. Thomas 3. Bryan and his son.

Colonel Charles P. Bryan, the Chicago Worlds Fair commissioners. 3Ir. Bryan fully explained to his holiness the large scope and immense importance of the projected exposition. lie earnestly solicited the popes adhesion to and active cooperation in the great movement which would bring together the products of nil the nations of the world and would prove an incalculable incentive to trade in ail directions.

The pope said he would be delighted to take Jrt in the exposition and wonld contribute os ar as possible to the success and eclat of the undertaking. He asm red his hearers that he was moved in the matter by a special love and admiration for the American people. Mr. Rryan suggested that his holiness issue a pontifical letter embodying the sentiments he Lad expressed, and said that snch a document would he a powerful aid in enlisting European cooperation in the fair.

GUATEMALAN ELECTION IN DOUBT. But General Barrios Will Probably Be the Next Pi evident. New York. Feb. 13.

The result of the Guatemalan presidential election, according to the latest advices, is still clouded with uncertainty. The probability is that General Jose Maria Reyna Barrios will be declared elected. Indeed a statement is published that he received 57.826 votes out of a total of 113.000. hot this number ie not exact, and probably depends upon come erroneous computation. It is not nnlikely that there has been mistake in favor of General Reyna bythe counting of 8000 instead of 800 votes.

The result is therefore doubtfuL and it may have to he left to the Legislature, which assembles on the let of March, to declare or to perfect the election. But General Barn os will doubtless he declared elected either by a popular vote or by the As- sembly, as his chances are the best. FEAR THE SOCIALISTS. Lively Discussion In the German Friday. Berlin, Feh.

13L There was a lively scene in the Reichstag yesterday during the discussion of the railway estimates. Herr Sturm, the imperialist. supported the Government in dismissing Socialist agitators from State workshops. Herr Rebel, the Socialist, violently denounced Sturm's views, and a heated debate followed. Herr Kurd off demanded more stringent laws controlling newspapers, clubs and public meetings, in order, he said, to prevent the State from falling into the hands of the Socialist.

Herr Rartli said it was clear that the members of the Right wanted to provoke a conflict probably leading to civil war." At this juncture the debate was adjourned. Kelclistag ANARCHISTS IN SPAIN.

London, Feb. 13.

Her grace, the Duchess of Portland, has long been celebrated for the beauty of her sealskin cloak, which cost about five thousand guineas, hnt this has now been thrown completely in the shade bv the magnificent cloak which was worm by Lady Allington last Wednesday. It was a gift from her newly-made husband, and from tho point of view of expense alone completely overtops the garment which has hitherto been the cynosure of all feminine eyes, for the sable trimming alone cost as much as the cloak of the fair duchess. Whils there is so much talk about the sealing industry, nnd American and English commissioners are sitting in Washington discussing the pros nnd cons of tho details of scheme for the preservation of these interesting animals the fact that cloaks of the fur fetch such prices cannot fail to interest other than feminine minds, and no doubt dealers will he glad to array themselves on the side of those who hope to prevent the extinction of the seaL English Post Office Makes an Innovation. An excellent Innovation warn introduced on Thursday last by tho post office authorities an innovation which is sure to become popular, because it is one move in the direction of less trouble for the public. This is a letter card which combines the privacy of a letter with the expedition which attaches to tho sending of a postal card and is certainly far cheaper than a letter would be when one takes into account tho cost of paper and envelopes.

This device is something like a double postal card. The message is written on one side and the card is then doubled over and the address is inscribed on. the outside then the edges are gamed together so that the communication cannot be read until the card is torn open. These new cards are sold at the post office at the rate of ten for a shilling. It should hs mentioned that it is quite permissible to attach additional stamps to this latter card in order to send it to foreign countries.

Queen Natalie to Visit England. Ex-Queen Natalie is about to play the part of the wolf (if one may be so angallant as to refer to her in this way) if London is the fold. She la coming to pay ns a visit and, like all tho rest of tho world, it is not without an object. This object is the publication of her diary which is to give her version of the quarrel with her husband. Her experienee lias not hitherto been of a particularly pleasant nature as far as getting this book out ls concerned, and she can scarcely be said to have her publishing path strewn with roses.

She endeavored to indnee a publisher in Berlin to bring out the volume, but she was unsuccessful. Then, as you are aware, she went to Vienna, where she met with a similar rebuff in consequence of the action of these Governments. In England, however, tbs Government does not trouble its bead with what publishers choose to do. and there is no donht but that the work will be brought out here. Of course the documents will be of an exceedingly sensational character and It is said that they will compromise the leading polilL cians in Servia.

Queen Natalie evidently believes that the British public will be Intensely interested in her doings, and that such interest may detract from the attention she ought to bestow upon her work, so it Is announced that during her stay she will preserve strict incognito. Under the circumstances it Is well she shonld, because she might learn that the English people do not take very much interest in people when they are no longer in the heyday of their power and success.
