United States supreme court, and Judge
Drummond of the circuit court, have been
engaged yesterday and to day in hearing the

pany against the Wabash Railway company
and the American Union Telegraph COM
pany, on motion for temporary iniunc-
ton to restrain defendants from constructing
line of telegraph upon the right of way of
the Wabash railway in the States of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, on the ground that the
contract between the railroad and Western
Union company granted the latter the ex-
elusive right of way for the construction
and maintenance of it's telegraph lines. The
motion was fully and ably argued by
eminent counsel on either side, the Western
Union being represented by it's solicitor,
Williams, and Judge Corydon Beckwith, of
Chicago, and by w. II. H. Miller and George
@. Butler, of Indianapolis. Defendants
were represented by ex-Gov. Hendricks,
of Indianapolis, Gen. Wager Swayne, of To-
ledo, and Mr.. Green, of Springfield.
The motion was made in two cases-one
in case removed from the superior court
of Tippecanoe county, Indiana, to the Unit
ed States court in Indiana; the other, in
bill filed in the circuit court for the south
ern district of Illinois. and resulted in q
perpetuation of the order restraining de-
PENDANTS from constructing the telegraph
line in the States of Ohio, Indiana and Hit

Congressional Labor COMMITTEES.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Congressional
Labor committee, to-day heard William
Stewart, wholesale grocer. He thought the
country was in fine condition, and especi-
ally the Northwest. he thought there wss
money enough in the Northwest. The only
thing that would hinder the prosperity of
the country was abundant money.
Chairman Wright Don't you know four
hundred millions are locked up in the United
States treasury?
Al know that if the gold was not locked
up in the treasury to secure them, green
backs would not now be floating around at
par. He believed in contracting the hctiti-
GUS money of the country, and in letting out
the real money, gold and silver.
0. w. Potter, president of the North Chi
cago rolling mills, reported business very
prosperous, with four thousand men en-
ployed, and he looked for better prices for
labor and product within year. Prison la
Dor was an execrable system. He thought
the president did right to- veto the anti
Chinese bill. because it violated treaty, but
he favored prohibiting the Chinese from
landing in America. Committee adjourned
to meet in Omaha, and thence go to San
Francisco.

The Cincinnati I,,ye.tfontto,,.


CINCINNATI, Aug. i. The first witness be-
fore the Congressional investigation commit
tee this morning was South Harris, who had
made an affidavit as to frauds. Harris testi-
fled he did not say 81 saw Francis with
fifteen men election day." Had no CONVEX
sation with any of them. Mr.. Brown here
read from Harris affidavit wherein he stated
that he had talked with some of them.
Witness stated that there were statements in
the affidavit he had not made. Mr.. Brown
read other portions. Witness denied making
thu statements read, and said, s.Shay put in
things did not authorize him to put in -
Mr.. Brown then read nearly every statement
in the affidavit. Harris denied making q
majority of them. Morris Meaney appears
in the affidavit several times as telling Harris
that the Francis party were reporters. Wit
ness denied ever saying q word about Meaney.
Hadn't seen him for two years. Didn't read
the affidavit after Shay wrote it.
Patrick Bolan, city marshal of Covington,
KY, testified as to the character of certain

of pretty good character, others rather
dubious.

tee that one witness, Charles Hayman, had
just been arrested on capias from the pros
ecuting attorney. Campbell said Mr.. Wright
had gone out of the room just previous to
the arrest He asserted the arrest was made
to get the witness out of the way.
Mr.. Conger said: "All this seems to be
only for dramatic effect. The witness ought
to 60. There ought not to be any conflict
here in Ohio between the authority of the
United States and the State. Mr.. Hayman
was arrested for rape.'
John A. Goodson testified as to the char
acter of Kentuckians brought over by Fran
cis and gave the majority rather good

A Fearful Scene.

The religious quiet characteristic of Waba-
shaw street, in the vicinity of the GLOBE Office,
was rudely broken, about o'clock last night,
by series of piercing shrieks proceeding from
the second story of an adjoining building
Heads were to be seen popping from all the
windows, tradespeople rushed to the doors and
pedestrlanlsm was at standstill, while
young fellow with a part in his hair as wide as
the chalk outline of narrow gauge railroad
was heard to exclaim that something awful
horrid must be the matter. The youth was
right and the remark should have been copy
righted. With case full of new pencils, and
visions of blood, butchers blocks, cleavers and
other factors to really good tragedy GLOBE
reporter rushed up stairs, anxious to get in his
lace work on the latest sensational murder. A
break was made for the front room, and the
modest scribe was ushered into boudoir
filled with ladies, where the pencil falters at a
description of the scene presented.
The ladies, God bless them had been
frightened out of their wits by the intrusion
OF q naughty mouse, which had broken up
one of the pleasautest little parties in the
world. When seen by the visitor, the dear
creatures were all mounted upon chairs de-

enemy to female equanimity, which was
shooed away with everything in the way of

comb. Being an ingenious man. and bache-
Tor. withal, the reporter blushingly retired,
and it was afterwards learned that the pestif-
erous insect had been captured BY benedict.

THE FKEEDAIEN's BANK.

The Inquiry NOW In Progress Under.
Charge of Senator Bruce.
Washington Special.
Senator Bruce is settled down here for the
summer, pursuing, with the aid Of experts,
a searching inquiry into the late Freedmen's
bank swindle. They have nearly completed
the examination of the books of the Atlanta
branch, which was one of the most impor-
tant of the thirty three branches of the in
stitution, and through which larger deposits
were secured than from nearly all the small
or branch offices combined. The develop
ments which careful overhauling of the ac-
counts of the Atlanta concern has unearthed
are said to be of an interesting character
never before known, and promise key to
the transactions of the main Office here in
Washington which the investigation con
Quoted by Congressman Douglass, of Vir-
ginia, during the forty fourth Congress, did
not SO much as discover.
Senator Bruce, chairman of the commit
tee, says that before he moved the resolu-
ton asking for the appointment of this COM
mittee every effort was made to discourage
him from doing SO, and since the committee
has been appointed there has been no end to
the slanderous statements made against him.
These, he knows, cannot come from Demo-
cratic sources, since Democrats are never SO
glad as when they can allude to the swim
ding of the freedmen by their so-called Re-
publican friends, and his inference is that
the statements published come from source
not anxious to have the truth made public.
This much Senator Bruce says can be as
serted: If the government will purchase the
bank building now occupied by the depart
ment of Justice and the adjoining property
here in Washington at fair valuation, an
other dividend Of 20 per cent. can be de-
clared next year, making total of SO per
cent. of the liabilities, and this will close the
business up, leaving loss of nearly 81, OOO,-
600 to be accounted for. To ascertain this
the energy of the committee and the skill of
the accountants are now directed, and until
the books are examined by skilled examiners
and accountants employed by the committee,
Senator Bruce says there is little for the
committee to do.
