BLOW AT HEARTLESS SYNDICATE
Attorney General Moloney Files Pa
pers Declaring That the Pullman
Corporation Has Usurped the
Powers of a Municipality and Has
Exceeded Its Rights The Fight
Against the Soulless Corporation
Will Be Determined and Unyielding.
Chicago, Aug. 13.
HT 1:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon
A Attorney-General Moloney sp
irit peered in tbe office of tbe cir
LTU enit clerk of Cook county and
tiled a petition covering sixty pages of
type-written legal-sap paper askiug for
a bill in equity against the Pullman
Palace Car company, and culling upon
It to sbow cause wby it should not be
prohibited from doing farther busiuess
under tbe laws of tbe state.
It is charged by tbe attorney-general
that tbe Pullman company is doing a
score of things in its corporute capacity
that is not empowered or authorized to
do. Its right to own and maintain tbe
big Pullman building on the lake front
in wbish the headquarters of the De
partment of the Missouri of the United
States army is situattd is direetly
attacked. It is further charged
that in violation of law the Pnllmau
company ii operating enterprise, in
. eluding theaters, botels, water works,
electric light plants, and gas works;
that it is conducting real estate enter
prises by building, owuing, leasing and
renting dwelling bouses, and that by
engaging in one or all of these enter
prises it is exeeedisg tbe power and
authority conferred upon it by the act
of legislature under which it is operat
ing. Tbe powers whieh the state has con
ferred upon tbe Pullman Palace Car
company are expressed in section 4 of
its charter, which, as set out in the at
torney general's petition, reads:
"The said corporation shall have
power to manufacture, construct and
purchase railway cars with all conven
ient appendages and supplies for per
sons traveling therein, und the same
may sell or uae. or rjermit to be used
in each manner and upon snob terms
as the said company may think fit and
proper. "
RESTRAINTS UPON ITS POWER.
Tbe restraints upon its powers are
contained in section 6 of toe chapter,
which is:
"It may be lawful for the company
hereby incorporated to purshase, ac
quire and bold snoh real estate as may
be deemed necessary for the successful
prosecution of their business, and may
bave power to sell and convey tbe
same."
Tbe company, the attorney-general
says, praotically baa usurped all the
fiowers and functions of a municipal
ly. The making and selling of gas,
the establishment of water works, and
all tbe powers usually attaching to
cities bave been assumed, it is charged,
without warrant or authority of
law. Another thing attacked Is
the ownership of stock in the Union
Foundry and Pullman Car Wheel
works, its charter, according to the
petition, giving it no power to own
stock in other corporations. It is
hurged that the Pullman company
furnishes power to tbe Allen Paper
Car Wheel works, which is no part of
tbe business of a company incorporated
to constrnct and run railway ears.
Tbe petition concludes:
'The attorney general for and In bs
naif of the people of tbe state of Illi
nois prays the court here for leave to
file an information in the shape of a
quo warranto against the said Pullman
company, and that it be required to
appear at a set day to show by what
warrant it has misused its powers and
franchises, and by what warrant it has
assumed, and still assumes, to exercise
tbe aforesaid powers, privileges, and
liberties and franchises, and to show
eause why Its charter should not be re
voked." The action taken by Attorney Gen
eral Moloney.it is said, means a "fight
to the finish. The attorney general
left the city as soon as tbe petition was
filed and no information was given out
t bis office as to bis whereabouts. A
bearing on the petition will be bad a
week from next Wednesday, Aug. 22,
but it is not determined what judge
will bear the ease.
M'CUROV JOINED THE FIGHT.
And Died on Bit Way to the Hospital
from 6tab Wounds.
Camden. N. J., Aug. 13. -After
spending the evening drinking with
some companions, John R. McCurdy,
aged 27, a resident of ,Cramsr hill,
started for home shortly after mid
night, but unfortunately for himself in
passing a notorious hoos at 102 Me
chanics street, kept by a Mrs. Bott, bis
attention was attracted by the noise
of a fight going on within. McCurdy
bad drunk enough to be quarrel
some and he forced his way into
the bouse with tbe avowed intention of
joining in tbe row. He found several
men fighting and be took a band in
the fray and was speedily thrown ont
of tbe bouse. Shortly afterward he
was found bleeding on the sidewalk,
and while being taken to the hospital
died.
An examination of his body showsd
three stab wounds, and death probably
resulted from Internal hemmorrhnge.
Tbe police visited tbe bouse sad ar
rested John Eckbardt, George Bott and
James Kelly. Tbe police believe Eck
bardt Is tbe man who used toe icuiie.
HUNDREDS ARE ENTOMBED.
Terrible Fat of the Tollers In Polish
Coal Xflnee.
Warsaw,' Aug. 12. The extensive
coal mines near Dom brows, govern-iH-nt
of Gradno, bave been burning
since yesterday afternoon, The fire
was startid by an explosion of gas
when tbe full toros of men was under
ground. The main shaft was wrecked,
and comparatively few miners have
been rescued.
Tbe latest teport is that several hun
dred men are entorobaJ in the mines,
and that all hope of saving them has
been abandoned. Tbe mines are owued
by tbe Franco-Italian bank.
RETURN OF THE JUNKETEERS.
TJi'Jmt Attack Upon a Newipapsr Rs
portar Occutoa Much Sympathy.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Pa.. Aug. 12. Consider
able comment has been occasioned by
the return of the jnuketeers. They
strenuously deny the impsachaont of
their fidelity of duty made by the Troy
newspaper which has figured so largely
in this episode; but In the face of tbe
amusement which tbe junket has ex
cited these denials fall flat.
There is a feeling of sympathy, how
ever, for tbe newspaper man who ac
companied tbe counsllraeu on their
jaunt. He went us a matter of busi
ness in tbe capacity of an iudividual
citizen, and yet has, in csrtsin quar
ters, been subjected to ridicule and
censure for deiugs in wblob be had no
more part than that of the witness who
sees and writes. Tbose wbo thus uu
justly attack hiin should reflect that
were it not for tbe newspaper publicity
which has been given to this junket,
many things might bave occurred more
damaging to the eauic of municipal
reform than those things that did oc
cur during tbe celebrated councilmauio
tour which came to an end last Thurs
day. As for the official particioants in the
junket, tney are bearing from tbe peo
ple, and will doubtless hear further
from them in the course of time.
CRUEL EVICTION.
Mr. Pullman Proposes to Turn His
Starving Employes Out of the
Company Houses.
Chicago, Aug. 12 Mr. Pullman has
decided to turn tbe strikiug tenants
into the streot. He made up bis mind
yesterday to evict them at their homes
this week. Legul papers, which must
be served on tbe starving strikers as
a prliemiuary to settiug their goods
into tbe street were understood to be iu
course ef preparation la Attorney Run
nel' office under positive orders of Mr.
Pullman. Second Vice-President
Wicks confirmed tbe report Unit the
tenants would bs put out of tbe bouses
as soon as the compauy could get rid
of them.
Tbe excuse given for turning strik
ers out of their homes is that the
bouses are needed by new workmen
wbo bave taken tbe places or strikers.
There aro now nearly 400 vacant
bouses in the various kinds in Pull
man, as many as will bs needed by new
men for some weeks.
Should tbe compauy carry out its
programme in this regard, and there is
little doubt that every striker wbo
does not go to work will be put out.
tbe town of Pullman would be almost
wholly depopulated. It would be, say
tbose wbo bave watched the course of
the whole trouble, tbe most cruel evic
tion this countrv has ever seen, if not
one of the most heartless recorded in
history.
it seems Inevitable that no leas tban
5,000 men, women and child
ren will be turned into the streets. At
least 1,500 strikers are tenants of the
buildings of the company, most of
them men with large families. Few, if
any, of them bave paid a dollar of rent
since tbe strike was declared. Meet of
them are on tbe point of starvation
and so poor tbey could not pay an ex
pressman for hauling their goods out
of town.
Th strikers have steslily avoided
discussing tbe possibilities of eviction,
sltbough they were warned that it
would snrely come. They have been
hoping the trouble would be settled in
some way that would not drive tbem
from the town.
Tbe sitnatlon at Pullman yestsrday
kept on getting worse for tbe strikers
who still bold out. Nearly one thous
and new men wern employed from
down town and 100 additional ones
engaged to report to-morrow. Th
company will tuen nuve nearly i,iuu,
or within 800 of tbe number it expects
to work this winter. Tbe large pro
portion of tbem are new comers.

STILL
HANGING
Ml
Outcome of the Tariff Muddle Is Yet i
Matter
of Conjecture.
SENATE WILL NOT YIELD A POINT
The Situation Remains Unchanged
With No Hope of Improvement.
Friends of a Tariff Reform and
Those Who Desire to End the Sus
pense Now Look to the House for
Relief They Urge the Members to
Accept the Senate Measure and End
the Deadlock.
Wasiiinotom, Aug. 12
TIIE week just eudd left the tariff
bill banking in mid air. What
its condition will bi by the time
the present week is ended, th
most sanguine politician will not pre
dict, There is u strong hope, how
ever, thnt the time for action has
arrived, and that the long and exaeed
ingly tiresome struggle is about to
oettse. The situation has become
clear to a certain extent, for it is
no longer a question of choice be
tween the senute bill and the Wilson
bill bnt between the senate bill and the
Mckinley law, The action of the sen
ate on Saturday in going iuto executive
session to shut off debate was accom
plished only by a tie vote and that wus
reached by the votes of the two Louisi
ana senators who the day before voted
on a similar question in the opposite
direction. Mr. Stewart on the Repub
lican side of the chamber, despite the
entreaties of bis colleagues, refused to
remain and as tlio clerk began to call
the roll left tbe chamber without a
pair being provided.
At the conference of tbe conserva
tives and the steering committee of the
Democrats on Saturday tbe opinion
was general that tbe Hill resolution
wonld puss by a good majority if a voti
is taken, and it was believed then that
a vote would be reached tomorrow
afternoon. A member of ths conferrees
on the part of the senate said this af tr-
noon that if the senate passed that reso
lution the conferrees would certainly
bring in a disagreeing report aud the
senate would bold that it had the bill
before it euljuct to its action. What the
action will to there is no contrarity of
views, as Democrats aud Republicans
alike now admit that if the bill gets
before tbe senate again it will be de
feated. A RACE FOR TIME,
Democrats who want to see some
sort of a tariff bill passed by this con
gress look to the house for their poli
tical salvation, and tbe situation now
appears to be a race for time. Too house,
in caucus, will be urged to take up the
senste bill and ascept it as it came to
that body and thus end the strug
gle, some of the Democratic authorities
on parliamentary law in botb branches
maintaining that this can be done le
gally altbongb tbe bill is now in con
ference, tbnt, at least its show of legal
ity would be as good as that contem
plated by ths senators in demanding a
disagreeing report on the bill so that
they muy kill it. Tbe action of the
house caucus is, therefore, fraught with
mush importance to the future of the
tariff bill.
No business of any kind can be dono
in tbe senate nutil this struggle is un
raveled, for there appears to be enough
votes to keep tbe matter before tl.e
senate a ceitain number of hours each
day, It is said that by Monday it will
be proved to the Louisianna
senators that they cauuot gut
the bounty wiuoii, it is as
serted, tLe house conferrees have
promised tbem and that as soon as they
know this they will again vote as they
did before on all motions intended to
help defeat tbe bill. Tbe debate in tbe
senate on Mr. Hill s resolution will be
gin promptly after some routine morn-
lug business on Monday, aud when it
will end cannot be foretold.
NO FILIBUSTERING).
Leading Democrats wbo are leagued
with ths administration in this issue
say that there will not be any effort at
filibustering aguiust it. The only item
of business arranged for tbe bouse this
week is not, strletly speaking, honse
business at all, but is of general import
ance and value because of its possible
effect upon tbe business of tbe house.
That is the caucus of Democratic mem
bers called for 10 o'elock tomorrow
morning to determine npon a policy to
be pursued with respect to tbe tariff
bill. Upon the issue of that cauens may
and probably will largely depend tbe
subsequent proceedings or tbe bonse.
If it shall be determined that busl
ness is to be contlnued.it will undoubt
edly be proceeded with along the lines
that bave been followed during tbe
past few weeks. A few committees
still remain on tbe list of applicants
whioh have not been awarded a day
for the consideration of business re
ported for them, and the committee on
rules feel inclined, if the opportunity
and time remain, to grant the same
privileges that other committees bave
enjoyed. Friends of the proposed new
publio buildings in New York and
(Jhloago are pressing tor a day in wblcb
those project may be considered and a
vote reached on tiie question of author
izing their construction,
Under tbe rules tbe committee on
the District of Columbia may ask for
tomorrow s session to consider its busi
ness, and Chairman Heard says be will
endeavor to secure tbe passage of some
bills of pressing looal Interest.
OUTKAGE IN CHINA.
Christian Missionaries Maltreated by
Heathen Hobs.
San Francihco, August 12. The
steamer City of Pekin brings details of
tb destrnctiou of tbe American Pres
byterian church at Shuklung, near
Canton, th mention of which was
contained in tbe Oriental mail. It
seems thnt anti-missionary riots began
in the urefectural town of lung Kan
in June, as the result of the posting of
plaoards containing vile charges
against Christians The niob appeared
in Shnklung on June 19, and pulled
down tbe churoh.
Luckily, all the missionaries escaped,
bnt a Chinese convert, Kting lap, was
overtaken, braten to death end bis
body thrown into the river. Several
Christian families in the vicinity were
sul jicted to indignities aud robbed.
Some soldiers then appeared on the
scene aud effected the arrest of two
rioters.
The next nolnt of attaok was the
Romun Catholio ouurcb, Taose inside
the church fired at the mob and beld
them at bay for some time. At this
juncture a squad came and dispersed
the mob, thus saving the building
from sharing the same fate as the
American church.
On June 2 tbe church at Sam Kong,
a village of Tssn Shiog, wus sacked,
snd a girl sged 10, belonging to a native
preaolier s family, was curried away.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night,
tne Christian brothers were able to
secretly open the door of the bouse
where tbe girl bss been tauten, and sbe
was conveyed safely to Canton.
Simultaneously with this disturbance
an anti-miisionary demonstration took
placs at Liu Pou. Under cover of
lsrkness a native preacher, with bis
family, bad to seek safety in flight.
The church, however, was left un
molested, as it was owned by a man of
tbe powerful Wan family, wbo pro
tected the Minding.
lu Tung Kuug City the vilest aud
moil exciting rumors are current, and
uad It not been for tue proximity of
the Church of th Rheuisb mission to
the Manderiu's rusideucs, and for tbe
dally protection of Its premises by a
tquad of soldiers, who bad been applied
lor ny tb missionaries ut an early stage
of the riots, it would in all probability
have to be added to the list of demol
ished churches iu this disturbed dis
trict.
A comnluiut against the Tuug Kung
magistrate has been til -id with the
American consul at Canton, and an in
vestigation will bo made.

TAITAN'S GllIEF.
Its Citizens are Humiliated at the Ac
tion of Dr. Stephens, Who Disap
points the Historical Pilgrims.
Nayack, N. Y. August 12 All Rock"
land county fells humiliated by the
action of Dr. Stephens, of Tappan, in
refusing last week to allow the histor
ical pilgrims, while they were at Tap
pan, to enter the old '70 stone house
where Mnj r Audre was imprisoned
while awaiting bis execution. Other
historic points in the little village, in
cluding Andre Hill, where the spy was
executed; Washington View Park,
where Washington's army was en
camped duriug tbe Revolution, and at
present owned and occupied by Mrs.
Mary E Barber, great grandaughter
of a captaiu in Washington's army,
were visited.
But the old stone house was kept
closed, and while the pilgrims had a
longing to see tbe interior of the
ancient structure, used as a tavern in
1710, they were obliged to leave Tap
pan without having their desires in
this respect gratified. A fsw days be
fore the pilgrims cssus, S. Chase, a
resident of Washington View park,
called personally upon Dr. Stephens to
ask permission for them to inspect tbe
old stone bouse, but tb doctor is
reported to have suid that if they
wanted to sss it so badly they might
raise money enough in tbe crowd to
buy it and put it in repairs.
tbe old stone honse is one of the
most important relics of Revolutionary
and Bute-Revolutionary times, For
years Dr. Stephens bus refused to al
low anybody on tbe property, and at
one time be built a high board feuoe
around tbe house. Tbe wicked little
boys of Tappan, bowsver, objected to
this fence aud gradually they carried
It away, piece by piece, until tbe last
vestige of it was gone. Tbe building
is now in a shaky condition, aud not
many more years will elapse before its
walls will full iu.

MADELINE TO STAll.
The Heroine of the Famous Breach
of Promise Suit Has Signed a
Contract with Mr. Roberts.
New York, Aug. 12, According to
the Herald, Miss Madeline Pollard,
whoso recent breach of promise suit
Rgainst Congressman W. C. P. Breok
inridge gave her widespread notoriety,
is to go on the stage. She has just
signed a ooutraot for a forty weeks'
senson with the unusual privilege of
renewal, with Mr. Nelson Roberts, for
many years connected with Mr, Daniel
rrohuiaus business forces.
Miss Pollard will make her profes
sional dubut early in Oetober, probably
111 c;nicago, ana later win appear in
this city. The manager of a promi
nent theater here is now making efforts
to open time for her. Ths play in
whieh she will appear is not yet de
cided npon, but Mr. Roberts told me
last night be had in contemplation a
new work which contains a strontrly
emotional character, which he consid
ers just suited to bis star.
"i met Miss Pollard, said Mr. Rob
erts, whom I saw at tbe Hotel Marl
borough last night, "abouts month ano
on a tram coming from Ilultimorc.
Soon afterward I entered into negotia
tions with her which nave resulted in
thiscontruct. Last Wednesday night
I took her out to a small town near the
city and tried her in a little piece
called 'Tennye.' She really surprised
my expectations.
"Miss Pollard has been living quietly
here in this ci ty for the last four weeks,
but today she went down to a small
beach to spend a few days. A well
known actress is with her giving ber
lessons lin stage technique. I would
like it clearly understood that we do
not inteud to 'boom' Miss Pollard by
ber connection with tbe breach of
promise suit. She has always had an
ambition to become an actress.and now
she believes that this is tbe only pro
fession left open to ber. Sb has taken
the advice ot A. M. Palmer and
Frank Sanger, both ot whom hay
commended her purpose of going on
the stage. The play in which sbe will
appear will have no reference whatso
ever to the receut trial. I shall sur
round ber with tbe strongest company
I can engage, and on this aud on her
talent as an actress I bass my hopes of
success. "
