Gen. J. B. Steedman, as Chief Of Police
at Toledo, is proving himself worthy OF
the confidence rcposed in him by the
friends who secured his appointment.
The energy and good judgment he displays
in wrestling with the arduous duties de-
volving upon him, ia sufficient evidence
that the qualities that rendered "Old
Chicamauga" famous us disciplinarian
and regulator, in creating order out of
chaos in the police department of New
Orleans, during the dark days of the Re
bellion, have not perceplibly weakened
during the lapse of twenty years.

THE STRIKES.
Losses by the Freight Handlers
Strike Said to be $1,OOO,OOO
Daily.
PROCEEDINGS BEGUN AGAINST THE
RAILROADS.

New YORK, July 1S-The proceedings by
the Attorney General of New York, in behalf
of the people against the New York Central
and other railroads, to compel them to receive
and transmit freight promptly, were begun to-
day before Judge Haight in the supreme
Court The chamber was thronged with law
yers and others Ex-senator Conkling is one
of the counsel for the New York Central, and
Simon Sterne on behalf of the merchants
The case was opened by Mr.. Sterne, who
made a statement of the facts of the case.
Mr.. Conkling interrupted TO say that when
the papers were read he would make a motion
to dismiss proceedings.
Mr.. Sterne said these proceedings were for a
mandamus and to compel the railroad compan-
les to forward freight as common carriers. He
referred to the freight blockade caused by the
strike. He estimated the losses of merchants
at 81 900 600 day.
The defence offered by the companies was
that the freight handlers demanded increased
wages, which being refused they struck and
green unframed hands were put in their places
who were not capable OF performing the
work.
The railroad companies were not compelled
to employ these green hands, but they insisted
on doing so and the freight blockade was the
consequence, and great loss was entailed on
the merchants of the city
Ex-Judge Shipman, counsel for the Erie
road, said it was purely question OF law or
fact for the court to decide. Nobody had any
1uNbreeb III bu6S0 brOCoUuiuSS oACopV tAO oulp-
pers and consignees over these very roads.
This was nothing but civil wrong between
corporations and individual shippers whose
goods had been delayed. A mandamus could
only be issued to compel wrong to be made
right, but mandamus could not be issued for
a redress of any wrong which may be commit
ted. The counsel argued al. considerable length
in support of his position.
After recess Col. James commenced his ar
gument for the merchants and when he finish
ed the case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when Attorney General Russell and
Ex-senator Conkling will argue questions pro

BAR HAS ANoTHRR FIRE
And -, Ids to Portland for Aid that is
Quickly Given.
BAR

Word came by telegraph hortly before mid
night that Bar Mills, in Buxton, on the Saco
River, was in flames, and aid was asked OF the
Portland Fire Department. The dispatches
said that fire broke out late last evening in
the grist mill owned by I. FL. Berry, situated
about quarter Of mile below the railway
station. The flames quickly spread to S. Fl.
Berry's mills, and thence TO the furni-
ture-making mill of Woodman & Wing.
Cinders were carried to the roofs of many
houses in the vi lage, and its destruction was
feared. So word was sent TO Portland Mr..
j. w. Peters of the Portland 81 Rochester at
once arranged train, and Mr.. G. II. Cloyes,
chief Of the Fire Department, had the Machi-
gonns with hose carriage and horses, ready to
take the cars The train which left Portland
shortly after two o'clock this morning, made
the remarkably quick run of Is miles in %
minutes and at once went to work
Meanwhile the fire had reached the old slab
wharf on the Saco, where the flames were
stayed Considerable damage was done to the
wharf, but it is still in fair condition to keep
back the waters. The Machigonne found lit
tie to do on its arrival, except to render good
service in extinguishing the embers and pre-
venting further spread of the flames. The
loss is not great and the insurance is nothing.

the country. He was born in New Berlin,
Chenango county, N Y, 46years ago. and was
feet inches high; but was SO emaciated
that he weighed only 48 pounds. In infancy
and boyhood his physical development was
normal, but on reaching manhood he became
a sufferer from dyspepsia, and wasted away
under the disease until he became sufficiently
attenuated to be fitted for exhibition as Curl
osity. His sufferings from dyspepsia, which
had become chronic, continued, and for sever
al days before his death he had complained of
feeling worse than usual. Saturday ii became
necessary to summon physician for him, and
DIR. Smith was called After several visits the
doctor made up his mind that the patient
ought to be removed to a hospital, and recon-
mended his removal. An ambulance was tele-
graphed for, but when it arrived at the mus

cause of his death was Inflammation of the

statement substantially the same as has been
Published. At the interview witness said
Brady told him for all expedition he ordered
he invariably received 20 per cent of the in
crease froca the favored contractors and said
any man who refused to pay this was fool.

paragraph from the interview wherein Brady
informs Walsh petitions were only required
by him to justify hiz orders for an increase.
Witness stated he first had temporary con-
tract to perform service upon Route 40101 and
after contractor McDonough retired he as
sulled the contract. Had known Brady since

ment for defence.
