Estimates of Profits of the

.60}. Cody Rcaps a Rich Harvest.

VonLn’s FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Oct.
24.——With only six days left of the Official
exposition season a close estimate can be
given of the profits made by the hundreds
of concessionaires in Jackson Park and the
Midway. '

Chief Clerk Slackman of the adminis-
trations and collections department figures
that the profits of the concessionaires will
aggregate $4,000,000 after deducting the
percentage to the exposition. This repre-
sents about 20 per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts. = .

Most of the concessionaii'es have made
money after paying from 25 .to 50 per
cent. into the exposition treasury.

Ferris “’heel Company Away Ahead.

The Ferris wheel company will pay a
profit of about $260,000 after deducting
$300,000 for cost and 50 per cent. of there-
ceipts paid to the fair after that amount
was taken in.

When the Dockery congressional com-
mittee was in Chicago investigating the
finances of the exposition and its esti-
mates of revenue while the $5,000,000 loan
bill was before congress, as little as $1,000,-
000 was estimated as the income from
concessions.

Restaurants’ Profits the Greatest.

Big restaurants in the park, particularly
those of the Wellington catering company,
have found their concessions the most
profitable. The electric launch, soda
water, pop corn and souvenir concessions
come next on the profit side of the ledger.

Buffalo Bill Has llIadc a Fortune.

But the men who will leave the world’s
fair with fortunes in their pockets are Col.
Cody and his colleagues, who were told by
President Higinbotham, when they opened
negotiations to put the wild west Show on
the grounds, that it was not refined enough.
They leased a big tract or" land just outside
the fair gates and reaped a golden harvest.
' Estimate 21,000,00QPaid Admissions.

The total paid admissions up to the
closing hour last night was 19,712,996,
and Superintendent Tucker said the figures
will go to 20,300,000 by next Saturday
leaving Sunday and Monday, which should
bring the grand total up to 21,000,000 if
the weather is favorable.

ANOTHER FIGHT AT THE FAIR».

This Time Over the Closing Day of
the Great Show.

\VORLD’S FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Oct.
24.—War has beendeclared by Frank D.
Millet and Col. E C. Culp, who have
charge of ceremonies and attractions,
against Silas C. Pratt and Alderman M.
B. Madden.

The latter have constituted themselves
an executive committee to bring a million
people more or less to the fair next Satur-
day, which they have designated ”Reunion
of Cities Day.” Col. Culp and Mr. Millet
are opposed to the expected Saturday cele-
bration because they do not want any in-
terference with the grand finale on
Columbus day, Oct. 30. They think
there should be only one closing rally and
celebration and they are backed up by
other executive officers of the exposition
in that idea.

Hoffman house however was the arrest of

asked him to take a ride in a car to police
headquarters. This Mr. McDonald did,
Ed Stokes accompanying the prisoner and
detective.

Hustlcd for the J udgc.

Mr. Stokes, who is a close friend of
McDonald, hustled for a half hour, with
the result that Martino was found in the
Astor house and induced to hold court if a
representative of the district attorney could
be found. Assistant District Attorney
Weeks was hastily communicated wi th,
and he came down to sessions.

Justice Grady, who had heard of Mc-
Donald’s plight and who is a personal
friend, was on hand to cheer him up.

Judge Martino held court in his private
room. No one was present but the judge,
Assistant District Attorney Weeks, Judge
Grady, Mr. Stokes, the detective, the
prisoner and the. reporters.

NINETEEN INDICTED. W“

Grand Jury Report in the Recent
Riot at Roanoke, Va.

ROANOKE, Va., Oct. 24.—-The.grand jury
summoned to investigate the riot and acts
Of lawlessness on Sept. 20 and 21, made
their report late last evening. ‘

Nineteen indictments are made. Wal-
ter S. Boone, Edward. Page and Frank
Sheppard as principals, and sergeant of
police A. H. Griffin and chief of police J.
F. Terry, as accessories before the fact,
are charged with felony. ,

The report commends the’ action of the
mayor for trying to uphold the law, but
questions the advisability of the officials
in directing the militia to withdraw after
the crow had been dispersed by firing, and
censures the police or the officials for or-
dering the negro, Thomas Smith, to be
removed from the jail and after removal
in not taking him to a place of safety.
The jurors state that from the evidence
they are led to believe that some of the
victims of the shooting were active partic-I
Ipants in the riot. .

Chief of Police Terry and Sergeant
Griffin, it is believed, were indicted on
evidence which Went to show that they

" The‘Alabama. Case Taken to the ‘U.

S. Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON“ Oct. 24.—The efforts of
Lewis E. Parsons, jr., appointed to be
United States attorney for the northern
district of Alabama, and of Alexander R.
Nininger, appointed to be United States
marshal for the same district, to hold on
to their respective offices for the four years
from the dates on which they were respec-
tively commissioned byPresident Harrison

' —March 20 and Feb. 4—have finally
brought their cases to the attention of the
United States supreme court.

On May 26, 1893, President Cleveland
addressed letters to Parsons and N ininger,
notifying them that th 1y would be removed
from their Offices upon the appointment
and qualification of their successors.-

They replied, announcing their inten- ,-

tiou to hold office for four years from the.
date of their commissions, and expressing
their opinion, fortified by that of counsel,
that the president had no power to remove
prior thereto. .

May 26 Emmet O’Neal was nominated

to be attorney and J. C. Musgrove mar- .

shal of the district, but Parsons and Ninin-
ger declined to surrender their offices and
lield them until June 20.

On that day the district court at Bir-

_ mingham entered orders directing them .to

surrender the books, papers, etc., of their
offices to O'Neal and Musgrove.

The Case is attracting much attention.

To FIGHT AT nsEA. _ _
to Attack

 

Mello Orders a Cruiser
- the. Tiradeutes. .

NEwYORK, Oct. 24.—A deapatch from
Montevideo says: - '

It is probable that one‘bf the chief naval
engagements ,of “the Brazilian revolution
will be fought off the coast of Uruguay.

Admiral Mello ordered the cruiser Re-
publica to sail from Santos to Monte»
video and she arrived yesterday. The
cruiser and all on'board were quarantined
and will be kept there for two days. It is
believed here that her object is to attack
the Tiradentes as soon as the latter leaves

the dock.

' 'When news of the professions of allegi-

lance to Peixoto of the officers and crew of
the Tiradentes reached Mello he ordered the

Republica to Montevideo to prevent the
Tiradentes reaching Bio.

The machinery which had been removed
from the Tiradentes so as to render her
useless in cage the insurgents captured her
while in dock here has been replaced and
she is ready to sail. ' ,

The steamers Desterro and Santos held
in quarantine were released yesterday.

On the arrival of the cruiser Republics
they steamed closer into the harbor for
safety. Both are now anchored near the
city. It is hoped by Admiral Goncalves
and his officers that the government of
Uruguay will protect them and prevent
any violation of international law through
an attack by the rebel cruisers.

It is believed here that the Republics,
which is well manned and equipped, can
easily defeat the Tiradentes.

ception at the New York building.

Marine transportation will have
to—morrow for special exercises. The day
will end with the programme of aerial fea-
tures that promises to surpass anything
seen in the line of fireworks.

On Thursday there will be international

day will be in the hands of the coal, grain
and lumber dealers, and Saturday will be-
long to the ancient order of united work-
men and the Cook county odd fellows.
