STRUCK SPEECHLESS Paralyzed Driver Accuse Cook of Assaulting Him. Paul Juckel, chef at the Aquarium cafe, 357 Robert street, who, to vary the monotony of life, jumped from the "Wabasha street bridge about two years ago, is accused of striking George For rester, a bakery driver, and knocking him speechless. -C - Forrester, who - drove • a delivery wagon for the Gliesner Bakery com pany, was found in the alley back of the cafe yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in an unconscious condition by Patrolman Hurley. The police ambu lance was summoned and an examina tion by the physician in charge after Forrester had been revived revealed that his right side was, paralyzed and that the man had lost the use of his vocal organs. 777' Forrester was taken to his home, 410 Fort street, where he was attended by Dr. J. C. Christison. After working over the injured man Dr. Christison said that he seemed to be suffering from paralysis. Forrester could not use his right arm nor his, right leg, and was unable to speak. In the afternoon, replying to an inquiry, Forrester wrote with his left hand on a sheet of paper a few words saying that he had been struck by the cook at Brenck's cafe. This was reported to the police and an investigation followed. Paul Juckel was taken to the Central station, where he was held pending an investigation. He was released . last night on his own recognizance to ap pear this morning. He says that For rester came to the cafe yesterday morning to deliver a certain number of loaves of bread as usual, and that a dispute arose between himself and Forrester. "He had been drinking," said Juckel, "and after he gave me the bread would not let me O. K. the bill. I I demanded that he let me mark the bill, telling him that Mr. Brenck would not pay it till I did. Thep he became violent and seized a carving knife, which he brandished at me. I went for him and took the S knife away from him and slapped him on the cheek. Mr. Brenck came into the kitchen then and paid him and he marked the bill paid and went out. That is all I know."T.'^ Charles Brenck, the proprietor, told the same story in regard. to the diffi culty. He said that he arrived in the kitchen just after the altercation in which the knife had figured and that he paid Forrester and that the man then went out. " TWO FIRES VISIT SAME HOUSE IN ONE DAY Second Blaze Inflicts $800 Damage at Home of Mrs. Anna M. Groch. Two fires, one of which nearly destroyed the house, marred the serenity of Thanks giving at the home of Mrs. Anna M. Groch, 74 Iglehart street, yesterday. The first fire, which was discovered at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, broke out between the ceiling of the first story and the floor of the second, and is supposed to have been caused by a stovepipe which ran through the floor. The fire was small and was, apparently, quickly extinguished. At 9 o'clock, however, a second fire started, supposedly as a result of a spark left from the fire of the. morning. The flames gained great headway and nearly the whole interior of the building was gutted. The rooms of the second floor were destroyed, together with their con tents. Several boarders at the house lost their effects. . The loss to the building is estimated at $500. and to the contents $300. The fire department worked over an hour last night before the fire was extinguished. . Diaz Will No* Resign.

Berthelot, the illustrious life secre tary of the Academy of Sciences, thus summed up to a reporter of the Patrie the conclusions of that learned body as to the cause of. the magnetic disturbances: "The manifestations were not caused by a local phenomenon,'.' he said, <-'as • they jvere noted over the entire globe, but by a solar phenomenon.

The flames leaped across a short space and caught upon Egging er's house, which it quickly consumed. i £ Egginger and his family of eight children were seated together in one of their three rooms, discussing .the events of the day, when a neighbor opened the door and announced that the house was on fire. Everyone be came excited.' Some carried out the few pieces of furniture there were in the house, others ran with pails to the river for water, and one of the boys ran to a telephone over a mile away to call the fire department. -XzX'iyZzk Fire Engine Arrives Too Late. , Nearly all the apparatus in the city was at the fire at Sibley and Fourth streets, and the only engine available when the alarm was received was No. 10. This engine and a chemical were dispatched, but on account of the re mote location of the burning buildings it was a long time before they arrived. When the engine did arrive, however, it could draw no water from the river on account of defective suction, and the houses were^doomed. ~ ! ; Neighbors had broken the door- of Reimers' house and removed a few articles of furniture, and Egginger's sons were able to save most. of their furniture before the fire had destroyed the house. The cottages j burned , like tinder, the pails of water which the willing neighbors carried from the river nearby having no effect upon the fire. When ' the two houses were a mass of flames and threatened the surrounding homes, the impromptu bucket brigade* devoted its attention to preventing a spread of the fire. j When the fire had completely de stroyed the two houses and nothing remained of them but the standing chimneys and heaps of brightly glow ing embers, 1 Matt Egginger still con tinued to fight the flames. Drawing water from the well, he worked with the fruitless energy of despair, throw ing bucketful after bucketful on the flaming pile. .7/ . "Ach! Mem Gott! Now I have noth ing but mine children!" exclaimed the old man, wiping the perspiration from his brow. "I have worked hard all my life, and now everything is gone.

Nov. 26.—Standing at the door of his old cell. No. 21, Col. 'Dick Morgan.,of Lexington, Ky., today set at rest the forty-year-old story that Warden Merlon, who had charge.of the old penitentiary at the time of the escape of Gen. John Morgan and his officers in 1863, was in guilty collusion with the escaping Confederates. Asked the question, he made this reply: '-'y'.'yjZ.Z.'' _. "Not the slighest in the world. The fact that an effort was •to be made to escape was not known to all of our men, to say nothing about outsiders being made ac quainted with our plans. We had no use for Warden Merion,' and that fact ought to set at rest any report.that he even winked at the escape." * ~ " Concerning the matter, Gov. Nash, upon whom Col. Morgan called before going to the prison, said: .---,, . "No one who knew Warden Merion ever believed the charge, which grew out of the exaggerated condition of the public mind during the' war 2.HO one could have bought him as was charged." Col. Morgan today also stated that, instead fof J being " liberally suppled with money when they left, his brother and his six companions had only about $60 be tween them, and this was-^nade up by the contributions' of those Who remained be hind. It was the visitor of today who conceived the plan of 'escape and helped to put it into execution. There has al ways been some wonder as to how the rebel prisoners gained a; knowledge of the air* chamber: beneath the "cellhouse. its existence being known to but compara tively few people outside of those who built the- penitentiary.7 Col.'". Morgan said of this, feature of the case:- - "I ascertained that from a convict who was working about the I cell block. After that had been learned we were more than anxious to learn how the walls on the out side were located.. and that 7 information was obtained accidentally. One of the con victs-had been sent to the department to replace a- number of - r . .broken - - window glasses., He ; brought with", him a long plank i which was placed from the cell block to the window. I walked out on the plank and made, a survey of-the outside. After that work was commenced on the tunnel." The failure to find the dirt brought out of the tiiffhel was another mystery of the time of the escape. Col. Morgan to day said that most of it was stored in the duct back of - the point at which they worked,- while the rest of it was packed into a large, stove used for heating the cell block. Had-it not been for his brother's devotion to him John Morgan would not have escaped. sphere's a charge for store rent in every pair of shoes retailed. There is also a charge for adver tising, in the selling of Regals. Does the advertising add to the cost of selling, per pair, or re duce it? Let's see:--- A store paying $20 per day for rent, and selling twenty pairs of shoes, without advertising, would have to charge you one dollar per pair for rent alone. If, by spending $20 per day additional for Advertising, the same store can sell 200 pairs of shoes instead of 20 pairs, then the rent and advertising combined would cost only 20 cents per pair, instead of $1.00. It is a favorite. argument with unadvertised shoe stores that they can give better value than Regals, because they do not advertise. As well say they could give better value than Regals because they have not trade enough to employ more man one salesman. • It is the volume of sales which reduces the cost of selling each pair, and proper advertising is the quickest, and cheapest, way to get volume, when the shoes are good enough to be worth advertising. Regal advertising is only one tittle cog in the Regal system of "Tannery to Consumer," but Regal quality could never be sold at $3.50 without the advertising which makes 60 Regal stores the busiest in their respective cities.

The wholesale district- was threatened by a fire which broke out in the basement of S. Hartstein & Sons' wholesale milli nery store, 207 East Fourth 'street, In the Warm block, last evening shortly be fore 6 o'clock.
