ARTHUR SUED FOR $30,000
THE ANN ARBOR RAILROAD
ia
Wants Some Recompense for His Inter-
ference. A Temporary Injunction
Granted Against Arthur and
Sargent to Restrain Them
From Ordering a
Boycott.
ee
The powers of the United States Court
have again been called into exercise in the
troubles between the Ann Arbor railway
and its striking employes. At Detroit,Judge
Taft, on the application of H. W. Ashley,
manager of the Ann Arbor read, granted a
temporary injunction restraining Chiefs Ar-
thur and Sargent from ordering a general
strike of railway employes, or in any way
inciting a boycott against the Ann Arbor.
This order was served Friday night at To-
Jedo on the Brotherhood leaders and creat
ed no small surprise among the strikers. It
is made returnable on March 27, when
Messrs Arthur and Sargent will be obliged
10 appear before the Federal Court in To
edo to show cause why they should rot be
restrained.
A second surprise was sprung upon Chief
Arthur when he was served with the papers
in a suit filed by the Ann Arbor Company,
whereby it seeks to recover in a sum of $30-
000 damages, alleged to have been sustained
by certain alieged acts of Mr. Arthur. When
asked what he had to say Mr. Arthur said
be proposed to obey the laws.
The commercial feature of the strike is
unchanged. Freight was offered by the Ann
Arbor to the Pennsylvania and Wheeling
and Lake Erieroads, the former taking 65
cars without any objection on the part of
any of its employes. The Wheeling®and
Lake Erie has not yet moved any of its con-
signment and it is reported that the engi-
neers on that road will refuse to handle it.
I
THE TOLEDO STRIKE OFF.
The Boycott Ordered Lifted and the Men
Told to Go Back to Work.
The boycott ordered placed on the Toledo,
AnnArbor sndNorth Michigan road has been
declared fully off and Chiefs Arthur and
Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Engineers
and Fireman, have issued orders to the
strikers to resume work. Several meet-
ings of engineers were held Sunday after-
noon, at which the situation was thorough-
ly discussed, including the orders issued by
Judge Ricks on Saturday. It was rumored
at one time that the engineers on the
Wabash would go out inside of 48 bours in
sympathy with the Ann Arbor men, but
that it now thought to be idle talk.
General Manager Ashley says that the
road recognizes the obligations it is under to
the men who remained faithful and pro-
poses that they shall profit by it.
Saturday afternoon K. D. Potter, Jr.
general attorney for the Lake Shore Rail-
road Company.appeared before Judge Ricks
in the United States Circuit Court and made
application for a writ of attachment, citing
the appearance of three firemen and four
engineers who refused to handle Anu Arbor
cars, to show cause why they should not be
prosecuted for contempt of the previous
order of the court, A writ was issued and
iater the men were arrested.
In connection with the resignation of sev-
eral Lake Shore engineers, Judge Ricks
holds that while the law does not oblige
ihem to work for any company they may
not see fit to, it requires that when they de-
cide to relinquish such employment they
shall do it £0 48 not to bring about any dam-
age to their employers.
The Pennsylvania engineers have had a
confierence with their officials, and agreed
10 stand by the decisions of the courts, and
not uphold the Brotherhood against the laws
ol the country.
Late Saturaay evening Judge Ricks grant-
ed an injunction, restraining all the employ-
es of the Wheeling vend Lake Erie railroad
from refusing to handle Ann Harbor freight
and from obeying any order that may be is-
sued by the Brotherhood.
A dispatch from New York says: Such
Jocal leaders as were in town were hardly
ready to express any leeling but surprise
over Judge Ricks’ order to Chief Arthur, to
annul the rule of the Brotherhood of loco-
move Engineers, which réquires the mem-
vers to refuse to handle the cars of boycot-
ted roads. The arrest of five engineers for
quitting work rather than handle such cars
amazed them. But, on reflection, it seemed
to occur to most of them that this result of
arding the railroad business as ‘‘affected
with a public interest, was a step toward
the complete State control of railroads,
which most of them nave been advocat-
ing.
SCHNEIDER EXECUTED.
The Murderer of His Wife and Brother!
in Law Expiates His Crime,
The execution of Howard Jefford
Schneider, for killing bis wife and brother-
in-law, took place in the District jail at
Washington, D. C., Friday morning. Presi-
dent Cleveland positively refusing to inter-
fere. When all hopes were gone Schneider
at once quit playing insane. There were
no unusual scene at the execution.
Schneider broke down and appeared very
penitent.
The crime for which Howard Schneider
was executed was one of the most terriblein
the criminal history of this District. He had
for some time persistently and cruelly abus:
ed his wife, and she had sought and obtain:
ed the protection of her father. Schneider
endeavored to induce her to return to
him and to leave the city for the West.
‘This was refused, and, meeting her on the
street one Sunday evening as she was re-
turning from church accompanied by her
brother. he accosted her with a renewal of
his demands. The wife still resisted, and
hie at once fired five shots from a revolver,
killing instantly the brother and fatally
wotinding the women.

TARE LOST NARBONIC.
She Had 14 Cattlemen and a Crew of
Over 50 Men on Board.
It is thirty-six dayssince the White Star
freight steamship Naronic left Liverpool
with 14 cattlemen and a crew of over fifiy
enon board, end during that time she has
not been sighted by any vessel, nor has any
trace of her been seen. The hope of the
agents has dwindled day by day, until they
are now almost willing to give the vessel
up. They can offer no encouragement to
the owners of her cargo, for so far no en-
couraging theory has been advanced that
basn't been exploded. Should the Naronic
never be heard of again. she will be the first
steamship having duplicate engines and
twin screws that has been lost. The accident
to the City of Paris about a year ago near the
Irish coast showed that the duplicate sys-
fem was not a sure preventive of disable:
ment, but the water-tight compartments
kept ber afloat until she reached port. The
theory was advanced to-day that the Na-
sonic might have been in collision with the
Allan line ship Sarnia, which is "six days
overdue at Halifax. ‘The White Star agents
think this impossible, They deny indig-
nantly a statement thatthe Naronic had a
number of steerage passengers on board and
that the freight vessels of their and other
lines often carry them contrary to law,

M. JULES FERRY DEAD.
1A Noted Frenchman Brought to the End
of an Honorable Career. Profound
Regret Throughout France,
M, Jules Francois Camille Ferry, President
of the French Senate, was seized with
spasms early Friday morning and despite
every effort made by physicians to relieve
him, he died in great agony. His death
was caused by heart disease, and the affec-
lion of that organ was due to the effects of
M. JULES FERRY.
a bullet striking a rib near the base of the
heart at the time he was attacked by
Aubertin in 1887.
The news of M. Ferry's death astounded
the city. No other event since Gambetta's
death has made such a deep impressions
Only three evenings ago he was at the opera
and on Thursday he presided over the Sen.
ate.
The general feeling is that although his
election to the Presidency was contrary to
the wishes of M. Carnot and M. Ribot, his
death is a serious loss to the Government.
President Ferry was born April 5, 1832,
and was admitted to the bar in 1854, He
was one of the active cpponents of the Em-
rire and was one of the convicted in the
amous political trial of the ‘Thirteen’ in
1854. 1: 1869 he was elected to the Corps
Legisiature from the Sixth conscription of
the Seine. He took his seat among the
members of the Left. He voted agains' the
declaration of war with Prussia.and at the
revolution of September, 1870, he was pro-
claimed a member of the Government of
the National Defence. When the communal
insurrection broke out in October, 1870, Fer-
ry risked his life to suppress it. He disp'ay-
ed great courage and energy in resisting the
insurgents of January 22, 1871. After the
siege and entry of the troops into Paris. M.
Thiers nominated Ferry Perfect of the Seine
but owing to the powerful hostile criticism
Ferry resigned 10 davs later. Subsequently
it was reported that M. Ferry would be sent
as Minister to Washington, but the appoint-
ment was never officially announced, and
Ferry was sent as Minister to Athens. He
resigned that appointment alter one * year.
After the resignation of Marshal MacMahon
as President in 1878, M. Ferry was appoint-
ed by President Grevy Minister of Public
Instruction and Fine Arts. In 1887 he was
an unsuccessful candidate for the Presiden-
cy of the Republic, and in December of the
same year he narrowly escaped assassina-
tion by a mad man named Aubertin. In
December, 1890, M. Ferry was eleclted Sena-
tor. The Panama Canal scandal, which
broke down so.many puplic men, caused
many to turn their eye again toward M.
Ferry, who was unsmirched by the devel-
opments, and upon the retirement of M
Leroyer from the Presidency of the Senate
last month, M. Ferry was elected President
on February 24. :

Baltimore.
After a tempestuous vogage across the
North Atlantic from Hamburg, with the
second co nsignment of the Krupp exhibit
for the world's fair, the British steamship
Lougueil arrived off Sparrows Point near
Baltimore on Saturday. The chief article
is the big 124-ton cannon. The steamer
encountered stormy weather aimost all the
way across. When it was Jeari.ed the first
of the week tbat the steamer was overdue
fears were expressed that the colossal can-
non had gotten loose in the hold of the ship
and had caused her loss,
The caliber of the gun is the largest in the
world, 19% inches. The projectiles fired
from it weigh 2,600 pounds, and are four
feet lonz. About seven hundred pounds of
powder are used at a single shot, and the
projectile 1s huried with such terrific force
that it will go through a plate of steel 23

A BAY STATE 1DEA.
An Extraordinary Liquor Bill Before

An extraordinary liquor bill is now before

tbe sale of liquor entirely in the hands of
the State: The bill provides for the appoint-
ment of a commission of three men. The
chairman shall be designated the State li-
quor manager. Thetowns shall yote yes or
no as to whether liquor shall be sold there,
and there shall be no license law.
When a town votes to have liquor sold the
commission shall provide for the sale by es-
tablishing agencie<, not to exceed one for
every 1,000 inhabitants. All shall be at
prices established by the commission, and
the price shall be only high enough to re-
pay the State for its outlay. no profit being
permitted to accrue from the sales over and
above the ex.enses. Special efforts shall be
made to prevent sales to persons of confirm-
ed habits of intoxication, and only pure
tiquors shall be sold.

Tracy Speaks Highly of His Successor
Who, in Turn, Compliments Mr. Tracy.
Ex-Secretary Tracy's return {0 private
life was formally celebrated by the Hamil-
ton club of Brooklyn, by a banquet. By a
bappy coincidence the new Secretary of the
Navy Hilary A. Herbert, was enabled to be
present, and the banquet incidentally be-
came a glorification of the new navy, and
gave the club, which is not a political or-
ganization a chance to express it apprecia-
tion of both the outgoing and incoming ad-
ministrations, Ex-Secretary Tracy, in re-
sponse to the cheers that greeted his name.
in part said:
That marked progress has been made in
the reconstruction of the navy during the
last administration ig, | believe, admitted by
all. 1shall not on this occasion enter into
the details of that progress. In my first
annual report, in December, 1889, I stated
that when all the ships which had been au-
thorized up to that time should have been
completed, the United States would still rank
as the 12th naval power, and that we gwere
absolutely at the mercy of States having less
than one-third of our population, one-thiri-
jeth of our wealth and one hundredth of
oar area. But such is not the condition of
the United States to-day. When the
ships how in course of construction are
completed we will rank as
the firth naval power, surpass-
ed only by England, France, Russia and
Italy. We shall have passed both Span
and Germany,and can once more take rank
among the naval powers of the world. I am
aware that th's is the first public announce-
ment of our superiority to Germany, but
the statement is nade not unadvi-edly, but
after careful comparison of the two navies,
ship by ship.
For 50 years the management of the navy
vards has been a scandal and disgrace to
the country. They are filled with men em-
ployed without reference to their fitness for
the work they are set to do, Worthless men
having political influence would be retained
while efficient men without it would be dis-
charged. On September 1, 1891, the connec-
tion heretofore existing between the navy
and politics was severed, and since then
ployment has been dependent entirely
upcn the needs of the service and the skill
and efticiency of the person to be employed.
‘Tailors are no longer employed as riveters,
upon iron ships, nor are shoemakers set to
build steam engines. Any man can now
go into a navy vard and offer his services
and if he is needed he will be subjected to
tris], and if found skillful will be retained,
and if not he will be discharged. His re-
tention or discharge depends entirely upon
his personal fitness and not at all upon his
polit:cal opinions,
Secretary of the Navy Herbert followea,
and, after complimenting his predecessor
on his administration, said: |
It is perhaps not the time for me to map
out a programme, bng one thing I can say,
no personal ambition shall tempt me to
make changes for the sake of change. Ex-
pressing my own opinion, I think we ought
to carry on our programme of providing for
at each session of Congress one or more new
vessels for the navy, so as to keep up a reg-
ular, methodical increase—not toa view to
forming such navies ds those of France and
England—we do not need such expensive
organizations—but we do need a navy first-
class in all its appointments.
TREMONT TEMPLE BURNED.
A Historic Place in Boston Destroyed a
Third Time. The Largest Bap-
tist Church in the Coun-
try Wiped Out.
Tire broke out about 7 o'clock Sunday
morning 'in Tremont Temple, on Tremont
street, opposite the Tremont House, Boston,
Mass., and before noon the entire structure
was gutted, entailing a loss roughly esti-
mated of $375,000. Fireman Patrick Dunn
of engine 26 had a leg broken, and another
man, name unknown, is reported to have
been seriously injured. ‘The Parker House
was damaged to the extent of about £50,020
by water. It stood adjoining the temple.
Beside the Union temple Church, the
Rev. Dr. George C. Lorimer, pastor, the fol-
jowing were among the concerns occupying
offices in the Temple building: Blish School
of Oratory, American Baptist Missionary
Mission, Home Mission Society, the busi-
nessand editorials departments of The
Watchman and the Baptist Social Union,
offices of Womai's Voice and Loyal Women
of America.
Tremont Temple has been one of the most
conspicuous public buildings of Boston for
nearly a generation back. Originally the
structure was widely known as the Tremont
Theater. Since 1863 it has been celebrated
all over the country as the largest Baptist
church in New England, if not in America,
and the headquarters of that denomination.
The purpose of taking it for religious pur-
poses was stated in tbe original appeal for
purchase money, to found a free church in
oston, where ‘‘all persons, whether rich or
poor, without distinction of color or condi-
tion might worship.”
Tha price paid for the place was $55,000.to
which §125,000 was added for furnishing
and remodeling. On the night of March 31
1852, the temple was burned and John Hall,
a citizen, was killed, and George Estes, a
fireman of Engine No. 7, Charlestown, had
his back broken and died shortly afterward.
I'he loss was $178,355; insurance, $45,244, A
new building on the old site was completed
in December, 1853, at a cost of £126,000.
On August 14, 1879, the building was de-
styoyed again by fire, but was promptly re-
built, and reopened on October 17, 1880, at a
cost of more ihan $230.000. The auditorium
was one of the largest in the country, being
122 feet in length, 72 in width and 66 feet in
heighth. ‘The seating capacity was equal
to an audience of 2,000 people,

WINTER-WHEAT PROSPECTS.
ee
8 di : } az .
Beports from Numerous SBtates Indicate i & es were raiding the ranches an a
Fair Conditions.
The Farmer's Review of Chicago says: Re-
ports from the principal wheat-growing
states in the West show that the crop is at
that stage when not mnch can be told by
appearances, but a few weeks will show the
tiue situation,
In Illinois the appearances are decidedly
against a full crop, but it is probable thst a
few weeks will improve the outlook. At the
present in many fields the tops of the wheat
plants have been killed, but the roots seem
to be all right. Judging by present appear-
ances, almost half of the repor:s indicate a
condition 20 per cent.below an average; one-
fifth of the reports indicate a full average
and the rest are decidedly poor.
In Indiana the general condition is re-
ported as fair, which means a little below
an average.
In Ohio the present condition is much
ahead of that in Illinois and Indiana.
More than half of the correspondents re-
port the outlook as good and that the crop
appears to have come through the winter in
fine shape. :
In Michigan the condition is similar to
that in Ohio, half of tl.e counties reporting
the outlook as good. In a few localities it
is believed that the wheat has heen greatly
injured. but there is no certainty of this as
theic- still remains. In other localities the
snow is rapidly disappearing and wheat
looks quite as well agit did last fall. In a
few counties it is small from the effect of
the iv and drouth. On low ground some
wheat is known to have been smothered out
by ice.
In Kentucky the general condition is fair.
it liu been damaged in some counties by
freezing and thawing and has been lifted
out of the ground. but is again taking root
and promises a fair crop.
In Missouri the condition is hardly fair.
Only one-fourth report the condition as a
full average. Some correspondents report
the wheat frozen out in places and that the
fields witl have to be plowed up. In some
of the fields the crop cannot be over one-
half the average, Generally speaking the
early sown fields are good. Late sown fields
are of doubtful condition,
In Kansas and Nebraska the condition is
fair to good. The plant in some counties is
starting to grow and has a good color at the
roots.
In Iowa the condition is nearly an aver-
age.
41 Wisconsin the snow came 2arly and
kept the plant covered all winter, In some
places where thesnow has melted the condi-
tion appears to be fair.

TrurepaY—The Senate was in session
but 10 minutes to-day. The only items of
business transacted were the presentation of
various memorials from the Legislature of
North Dakota and the reference of a resolu.
tion for the appointment of a clerk to the
Committee on National banks, at $1,440 per
aunum. Then Mr. Gorman, Democrat, of
Maryland, moved an adjournment, and the
Senate, at 12:10, adjourned - till Monday

Flour in the Northwest.
The Northw'estern Mi!l-r of Minneapolis
says: The mills were able to run much
more steadily last week and their output
showed an increase of about 25,000 barrels.
The total out put for the week was 159,995
barrels, averaging 26,666 barrels daily
against 135,110 barrels the week before, 156,-
615 barrels for the corresponding time in
1892, and 125,200 barrels in 1891. A larger
capacity is in operation this week and the
manufacturers will doubtless show another
gain, If there has been any change in the
flour trade it has been for the worse. Mil-
lers pretty generally characterize the present
situation as one of the most unsatisfactory
they ever experienced. Buyers, both at
home and abroad, lack confidence in prices.
and they are loth to trade except for imme-
diate disposition or to take advantage of
some offer manifestly below the market.
For the past week the prices were still
further shaded, the orders taken being con-
siderly short of the output.
MONEY COST HER LIFE.

street, I’hiladelphia, was partially destroy-

when the fire was extinguished the firemen
found the charred body of the girl lying
on the floor before the open drawer of the |
bureau.

HELD UP IN THEE CITY HALL.
A Bold Daylight Robbery in Chicago’s
Most Public Building.
H. G. Fox, collector for the First National
Bank, was held up and robbed of $1,200 on
one of the stairways of the City Hall at Chi-
cago
He had just received $300 from the City
Treasurer and $900 from the County Treas-
urer, and was descending the dark stairway
to the main Hoor when, at the turn of the
staircase, a man threw his arms about his
neck and choked him almost to insensibil-

. An Apache Teriure.
In the summer of 1882, when tha,
baciendas of southern Arizona, said Thad
R. Morris, I was a private ir Company,
K, stationed at Whipple Barracks. The
Indians had caueed the department
ceaseless trouble, We were kept on the'
march continually, but for two months
we failed to get close enough to them to'
become engaged in a fight, One morn-;
ing, while we were camped at the base of
the Chirscon Mountains, a courier came
to the camp bringing the information:
that a band of about 200 renegade bucks’
had attacked a small emigrant train
about ten miles away and bad killed the
entire party. We were soon ia our sad-
dles and were riding rapidly towards the -
scene. The Gay was almost insufferably
hot. The sky was not obscured by a
single cloud and the sun beat down with
excruciating fierceness upon the weary
goldiers. When arrived upon the scene
of tbe massacre, we found the bodies ly—
ing about on the burning sands Rorribly
mutilated. We had made but a short
stop and had mounted our horses to give
chase to the redskins, when I heard faint
groans. It was some time before we
could locate the piace whence the agon-
izing sound came. Finally we found it.
The Indians had skinned one of the dead
horses and had sewed up a man (whose
pame was E. R. Tarieton from Ohio)
tightly in the green hide. His body was
doubled up and the hide was closely tied
around him. We released him as quickly,
as we could, and applied restoratives’
that soon brought him fo himeelf. But
when he gazed around at his murdered
family, he drew a knile trom his pocket,
and before any one could stop him cub
his throat.
Tying a man up in a green hide was a
new mode of torture to the soldiers.
They had never seen it before. But I
‘have since learned that in the early days
of that Territory it was not infrequently
applied by the Chericans as well as the
Apaches.—S8t, Louis Globe-Democrat.

What Climave. Neglect and Want of the |
Proper Medicine Will Do.
‘There are some things which are as sure
as fate and can be relied on to occur to at
least one-half of the human family unless
means are taken to prevent:
First, the climate of winter is sure to bring
colds; second, colds, not promptly cured,are
sure to cause catarrh; third, catarrh, im-
properly treated, is sure to make life short
and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of the
body. It is capable of destroying sight,
taste, smell, hearing, digesiion, secretion,
assimildtion and excretion. It pervades
every part of the human body—head, throat,
stomach, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs,
liver, kidneys, bladder, and sexual organs.
Catarrh is the cause of at least oue half of
the ills to which the human family is sub-
ject, Isthere no way to escape from it?
There is. Pe-ru-na never fails to cure a cold.
Pe-ru-na never fails to cure catarrh in the
first stage. Pe ru-na cures catarrh in the
second stage in nine cases out of ten. Pe-ru-
na cures catarrh in its last and worst stages
in the majority of cases, and never fails to
benefit every case, however bad. Pe. ru-na
also cures la grippe, coughs and consump-
tion in the first stages with unfailing cer-
tainty. :

Jews Are on Top Now.

of Egypt, 1300 B. C., was not aware
that a Jew would be the premier of
Egypt 1893 A. D. The Jewish Riaz ;
Pasha is now the primc minister of
Egypt's ruler, even as Joseph, the son
of Jacob, was the pricie minister of
another of Egypt's rulers. Trom the
seat of his power, Riaz benoids the
pyramids which his ancestors helped
to build for the mummies of the
Pharaohs. The fellahcen of Egypt
are under the Jewish pasha, as the

Thera 1s more catarrh in this section of th

and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctors
ronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
ocal remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it fn-
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure.
