The adjourned meeting of the stockholders
was held last evening at the Hotel Du
qucsuc, and alter nearly two hours' discus
sion another adjournment was had until
Friday CTcninpr next. The reason for ad
journment was to have the opiniuus of
Messrs. Carroll, Anlou aud Fields,uuo have
stock in the concern, 0:1 one or two impor
tant questions.
Thrre is a division of opinion among the
stockholders as to the plan of winding up
affairs. There are two principal propo
sitions for the stockholder-. One is for each
stockholder to sliare the indebtedness and be
allor. cd Mocl; it proportion; the other is that
tho crcaitois jet what money they can ly
taaVIrs poisess.on of tho assets. Iia'tevcnirs
the former proposition met with most favor,
Imt it aai staled after tlie :neeting tliat more
than one stockholder refuses to either pay any
money toward cleanup; of the debt or to forfeit
his stock. For instance, one gentleman origi
nally purchased 1.000 worth of slock. There
was a subsequent assessment of 100 per
cent, or, in other words, the original stock was
doubled: hut the gentleman in question de
clined to pa ib a cent more than his original
$1,500. Another assc3inent is now necessary,
and stili lie uoclinos to pay anj won inonev.
lint he demands S730 tor liU original JJ.cOO. It
is plain that this is unroasonabU and unfair,
because in the ab-euce or other people's ad
ditional pajiocnts his original SLoOO would not
be worth an) thing at all. In short, some of the
siocl.holuus desire a few to pay the debts and
eeibudy can reap tlie benefit.
If the latter course is insisted on, nothing
will reman' to be done bat allow the creditors
to call a sale ol the assets, aud than those who
want to continue without paying any more
money will get little or nothing, and will not
hare any shaie m the new cluU. It is to be
hoped that the matter will be settled as soon as
po-siDie, because it is necessary to secuie some
good plajers for next easm as soon as possi
ble. It eerything is settled speedily there may
Ik- one or two good surnrise tor Pittsburg base
ball patrons within a -hort time.
The principal stockholder- ol the P. L. club
are anxious for a settlement at once, and if
this could be accomplished. Manager Hanlon
and Director O'Xeil are confident that some or
thclie-t ball platers in the country "ill ie here,
iir. O'Xeil is working like a Trogan. and it
ever the services of a man dc-erved recognition
by office o anything else his certainly do. He
aud .Mr. Hanlon hare some surprises in store if
matters wcie udy settled here.
THE 30AED OF APPEALS.
Sorne Important Questions Discussed by the
Trotting Track Magnates.
Chicago. Dec. Z Hie Board of Appeals of
the American Trotting Association began its
Kcmi-annual session at the Auditorium. A
number of cases were heard this morning. In
the case of Rich versus Smith and Bussell. of
JMinuesota.au attempt was made to show that
Smith and Bussell, not being members of the
Minnesota State Association of Trotting and
Pacing Horse lirecders, and not being resi
dents of Minnesota, were ineligible to make
entry at the races of the association. Evidence
was heard. The entry was decided to be regis
tered. Mr. Church, of Allegan, Mich., was ac
cused of entering his horse, formerly known as
Lee 15, under the name of Pete or Petard. It
appeared that Mr. Church had only bought the
horse a short time before, and that he did
not know him by Ihe name of Lee B. Tho
matter was taken under advisement.
The board oierruled the protest against Y.
D. bcales' entrr of his horse Exeter at the
liloomingtou Fair this fall. It was claimea
that the entry was made after the date for
closing the entries.
In the afternoon a most interesting case
came up for hearing. It embodied the qnestion
as to whether as soon as gien guaranteed
stakes, is entitled to amount piid in bv sub
scribers' jncrca-e of the guaranteed amount or
if such excess belongs to the winning horses
pro rat u
Ihe case was that of C. P. Emery agiint the
Central Illinois Trotting ana Pacing Hoio
Breeders' Association, which comprises the
circuit ot Dloommgton, Dccatnr, hpriugfield
and Aurora. All of these trotting events came
out with funds In c.cc-s of the guaranteed
stake. At biinngh"id the amount iu excess was
about JG0O.
Tne board took the case under advisement
ajid will hold a consultation in executive
session en it. Adjourned until to-uioirow.

figLt Sunday murning, called at this ofuce yes
terday, and leftthefollowingcommunication:
I am ready to fight J. Hayes again if he will
como within one pound ot my weight. When I
fought him Sunday morning he was o pounds
heavier tlmn I was, and I fought him 11 rounds.
In the seventn round I might hare wou had an
outsider not calied tirai- just when I dealt
Jlajes a terrcne blow. Time wasn't un. but
llajf-s got rested. However, I will fight him if
he will come near to my weicht."

CLARA CAMPBELL WINS -
HER BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT AGAINST
CHARLES ARBUCKLE.
The Ifew York State Court of Last Resort
Decides That the Pittsburg Merchant
Most Pay 845,000 to Heal Her Injured
Affections.
Albany, Dec 2. In the Court of
Appeals this morning, in the case of Camp
bell versus Arbuckle, for breach ot promise,
the judgment of the lower court was con
firmed, and therefore the complainant re
covers 543,000 damages.
This is the lamous "Bunnie" and "Baby
Bunting" case which caused so much
amusement when it was tried in New York
be ore Judge Beach and a jury in Decem
ber, 1887.
At the trial the jury awarded Miss Clara
Campbell (Bunnie), a verdict ot 513,000 as
a substantial solace for the injury done to
her affections and worldly prospects by
Charles Arbuckle, the "Baby Bunting" of
the voluminous correspondence which was
submitted.
3Ir. Arbuckle didn't relish the verdict
against him, and still less did he relish the
idea of handing over to the damsel upon
whom he had once lavished so many endear
ments S13,000 of his profits in the coffee
business. So lie t)ok an appeal to the gen
eral term of the Supreme Court, which sus
tained the verdict of the jury. Then Mr.
Arbuckle carried his appeal tp the Court of
Appeals, where arguments -on both, sides
were heard on October 21. Ex-Judge ITul
lerton and Charles E. Hushruore represented
Miss Campbell, and John E. Parsons pre
sented Mr. Arnuckle's reasons for seeking
to have the verdict set aside.
The decision of the Court of Appeals to
day ends the litigation. Miss Campbell iz
a resident of Ohio and a member of a tamily
of high standing. She is on the shady side
rf 40. At 23 years of age she went to Italy
fur instruction in vocal music, and returned
to this country after an absence ot eight
years. It was then that she met Charles
Arbuckle, the coffee merchant, being intro
duced to him by a mutual Iriend. What
followed is narrated above.
MOEE LIBEBTY 'WANTED.
World's Fair Congressional Committee
ravors the Local Directory.
Washington. Dec. i Congressman Flower
to-day said that the World's Fair Congressional
Committee would meet soon after Mr. Candler,
the Chairman, returned to the city, and decide
w hat, if an thing, is necessary to be done as a
result of the committee's visit to Chicago. The
committee would be governed, he said, largely
by the course pursued by the National Commis
sion. The commission had already adopted
some of the suggestions ol the committee, and
inisbt. perhans, by adopting others, obviate
the necessity for any Congressional action.
Mr. Flower said he thought the committee
was unanimous in the opiuion that the Na
tional Cwuiuiission should cive the Chicago
local committee more liberty. The commis
sion's, duties should be merely supervisory. The
Chicago people should control the management
of affairs and be made responsible for the re
sults. He was opposed to any divided respon
sibility. BAILEOAD TETJST INC0EP0EATED.

PKETI0DS RASCALITIES BT BUHNER
Knw York, Dee. 2. Perrin H. Sumner,
a Broadway real estate speculator who
gamed considerable notoriety in connection
with the mysterious suicide of the man who
registered at the Getty House; Yonkers, as
George Smith, was arrested to-day by Cap
tain McLaughlin, charged with forgery. The
prisoner, it will be remembered, identified
the suicide as his friend, James H. Edgar, a
wcilthy English chemist. There was a sus
picion that the identification was not cor
rect, and was made by Sumner for the pur
pose of defrauding a liie insurance com
pany. The sequel tends to show that Sum
ner, apparently in the hope of realizing by
the scheme the sum of 300,000, did not hesi
tate to commit forgery.
The suicide took place October 27, and
the man who passed under the name of
George Smith had been stopping at the
Getty House two days before he swallowed
the fatal dose of morpliicc.
Gets the News From His Nephew.
A few days later Sumner visited the
Getty House and identified the body. He
declared that he did not believe Edgar had
taken his own life, and hinted at foul play.
Captain Mangin, of the Yonkers police, ap
pealed to Inspector Byrnes, and an investi
gation was. begun.
During the inquiry Sumner had stated
that he had learned or the alleged suicide
from George fl. Edgar, a nephew of the de
ceased. He had the body buried at his own
expense, and the authorities at once began
a hunt for George H. Edgar, now supposed
to oe a niytn. bumner, wnen closely pressed,
showed le'tters written by James H. Edgar
and his nephews, George H. Edgar and
Robert Howe, all of which were declared by
an expert to be in the same handwriting.
Sutnuer besides had a rather shady reputa
tion. November 5 he made his reappearance at
Yonkers, and to allay suspicions, asked for
the examination of the body for further
identification. He exhibited a picture
which resembled the deceased.
A Reporter Tackles the Case.
The police, satisfied that they had
thwarted a life insurance swindle, dropped
the investigation, and up to the present the
mysterious "Georse Smith" has not been
disco vered.
George B. Phoebus, a reporter, deter
mined to fathom the mystery, and for the
past three weeks has been watching Sumner.
He found that he visited a man of shady
character. This man was the counterpart of
the picture exhibited as that of Edgar, but
he was living under another name."
It was also discovered that Sumner had
made a proposition to lawyer Francis H.
Turner to have a man personate Edgar in
the drawing up of a will, of which Sumner
was to be executor. The lawyer, of course,
rejected the proposition, but as be thought it
would be well to have the mystery cleared,
he suggested that he find a man to act the
part required. He introduced Phoebus to
Sumner, who thereupon fell into the trap.
Bogus Will Executed and Signed.
The will was drawn up by Turner and
signed by Phoebus and Sumner. It was
atterward attested by a notary public. It
was in the signing of the will that Sumner
committed the forgery.
Edgar owned -property worth $300,000, of
which Phoebus was to' receive 10 per cent
for his trouble. The police surmise that
Edgar was in the dark concerning the bogus
will, and Sumner, who was willinn- to resort
to forgery, ultimately intended murder.
"When Phoebus had led Sumner into the
trap with Lawyer Turner, hecalled at police
headquarters to-day and placed the details
of the plot before Inspector Byrnes. Late
this alternoon the speculator was fatten into
custody.
Frevious Rascalities of Sumner.
This is not Sumner's first appearance be
fore the public. Kovember 6, 1884, he was
arrested charged with grand larceny, at the
instance ot a man named David M. David
son. At that tune,- it is said, he made a
compromise with the complainant and thus
escaped a conviction. Sumner's friends say
that the speculator is accused of forging
James H. Edgar's signature to a power ot
attorney, making him his executor. Thev
say the signature is genuine, and it the
case ever comes to trial they will be able to
produce Edgar. Their version of the
affair is that Edcar is heir to
a .fortune of 5500,000. which is
so held in England that it is liable to fall to
the offspring, of his nephew, George H. Ed
gar. This, it is alleged, is -stated in the
power of attorney, which Sumner is ac
cused of forging.
It is likewise stated that at the time of the
Getty House suicide young Edgar drugged
his uncle, and he remained ill until long
after the publication of the mystery and the
identification and burial of "Smith's body.
Before Edgar rtcovered his nephew had
vanished, and is now supposed to be some
where in the "West.

THE ENEMY'S STRENGTH.
GENERAL: MILES SPEAKS OF, THE MAGNI
TUDE OF INDIAN TROUBLES.
A Greater Conspiracy Than That of Fontlao
or Tecumsen to Contend Against At
Least 4,000 Well-Armed Hostlles May
Take tho Warpath.
"Washington, Dec 2. GcneralIilcs,
who has been in Washington since last Sat
urday night, in daily consultation with Sec
retary Proetor, General Schofield and Secre
tary Noble upon matters relating' to the
Indian situation in the Northwest, left for
Chicago to-day. .
The General believes that danger is immi
nent. The seriousness of the situation, he
says, "has not been exaggerated. The dis
affection is mere widespread than itliasbeen
at amy time lor vears. The conspiracy ex
tends to more different tribes that have here
tofore been hostile, but that are
now in full sympathy, with each other
aiid are scattered over a larger area of coun
try than in the whole history of Indian war
fare. It is a more comprehensive plot than
anything ever inspired by the prophet Te
cumseh or even by Pontiac."
"Are the campaign preparations on the
part of the Government complete?" was
asked.
"Not quite," replied the General. "Every
thing will be ready in a few days, though.
Altogether there arc in the Nortliwest about
30,000 who are affected by the Messiah
craze; that means fully 6,000 fighting men.
Of this number at least one-third would
not go on the. war path, so tlat
leaves us with with nbout 4,000 ad
versaries. There are 0,000 other Indians
iu the Indian Territory who will need to be
watched if active operations take place..
Four thousand Indians can make an im
mense amount of trouble. But a tithe of
that uumber were concerned in the Minne
sota massacre, yet they killed more than 500
settlers in very hrief time. Altogether, we
nave about 2,000 mounted men. We have
plenty of inlantry, but you cannot catch
mounted Indians with white foot soldiers.
EXPECTS AN OUTBREAK.
General Miles Says the Indians Have Canse
for Dissatisfaction.
General Miles, who has charge of the United
States troops in the West, was a passenger on
the limited last evening. He bad been to
Washington to see the President, and he goes
back to the Rosebudl'Agency authorized to
protect life and property from tho Indians.
This means that the first gun tired by the red
skins will be tho signal for warfare. Ihe Gen
eral is a tine looking man of generons propor
tions. He wears a grav moustache, which adds
to the determination plainly markedinhls face.
Speaking of the threatened outbreak of tbo
savages, he said: "The Government is sending
troons to the Rosebud Agency every day. The
Indians have good cause for dissatisfaction,
but that is no reason why they
should rob and kill defenseless settlers.
It is the old trouble of former
years. The redskins are robbed by tbe agents,
and the rations that the Government sends are
plundered before they reach thein. The Mor
mons are responsible for the Mes
siah craze. These people believe
in the coming of a Savior themselves,
and tbe Indians have faithfully imbibed their
ideas from their teachings. 1 wilL remain in
Chicago several days before going West. I ex
pect an outbreak before spring and we will be
prepared lor it."

WINTER WISDOM.
Exchange.
Don't he airaid ot fresh air, but avoid
drauphts.
Don't go ont of doors for a second without
extra covering.
In selecting your winter underclothing
choose that which is warm and yet more or less
open in texture.
Take off your overcoat wnen you enter a
warm place, whether office or private dwell
ing, even if 3 our visit is to last only three
minutei.
If voti catch cold or develop a congh, get rid
of it at once. This is better than feeling
"blue" and thinking that pneumonia or con
sumption has marked you as a victim.
The best remedy for a congh or cold (how
ever stubborn), or a sudden chill, is pure
whiskey. A dose of whiskey in water will im
part a generons warmth to the whole body and
keep off the diseases of tho season.
Don't forpet that only pure whiskey sbonld
bo taken. Duffj'sPuro Malt whiskey has the
stroncest recommendations from the leading
doctors as to its efficiency, and from the mos't
prominent Si-ientis:s as to its purity. It is tbe
only standard medicinal whiskev. Take no
other from your drupcist. vr
