Shanties Demolished and Lives and
Limbs Endangered by Savage Attacks.
READING, Pa, Nov. "A Deputy Sher-
ilf with posse of ten men has just ar
rived having in custody twenty Hungarian
laborers recently employed on the Schuyl-
kill valley branch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, The contractor pald them off
and discharged them this morning be-
cause they were rebelliOus and demanded
higher wages. They got drunk, in.
timidated other wOrkmen and tried
to persuade them not to work.
Next they attacked the lab0rers'
quarters, tore down shanties and broke
and destroyed everything they could lay
their hands on. A posse pursued them
on the road and caught up with them at
BirdsborO, 10 miles from here, where all
were captured except one or two. Pistols
were taken from several, and others car
ried very dangerous looking knives. A
charge of riot and intimidating workmen
will be preferred against them. A man
and woman were assaulted, and the latter
was badly injured.

CUNNLNGHANPs APPEAL.
Argument Begun in the United States
Supreme Court.

Argument Begun in the United States
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Argument
began in the United States Supreme
Court to-day in the railroad bond case of
G. A. Cunningham, appellant, against
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Com
pany and the Governor and other State
officers Of Georgia. This is a suit upon
series of bonds of the Macon and Bruins
wick Railroad Company, amounting in
the aggregate to 5000, 900, authorized by
an act of the State Legislature of
December 3, 1866, as amended
by the act of October 81, 1870, and in
dorsed by the Governor of the State. In
1873 the company failed, and the Governor
IN order to secure the interest of the
State, created by its Endorsement of these
and other similar bonds, seized the road.
In 1915 the State, by an act of its Legisla-
ture, repudiated as unconstitutional
its Endorsement on the $780,
600 of bonds here in controversy,
and directed the Governor to sell the road
and use the proceeds in the payment of
another series of bonds also indorsed by
the State, issued at an earlier period. The
present suit is brought by one of the
holders OF the 100000 series
of bonds to test the question of the liabil-
ity of the State, and to obtain an equit-
able relief. The bill was dismissed in
court below mainly on the ground that it
was virtually a suit against the State,
aud that the State was not and could not
be made party to it,

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 2.-The following
proclamation was issued to-day by Gov

"The Constitution of this State directs that
the Governor shall take care that the laws are
faithfully executed. An appeal has been
made to the Executive asking that the laws
relating to bribery and corruption at elections

there is nothing more important in our form
OF government than that the will of the
people, which is absolutely the foundation
upon which our institutions rest, should
be fairly expressed and honestly regarded
without this our system is sham and con-
trivance which it is brazen effrontery to call
a republican form of government. All this is
recognized in theory by provisions in the con-
stltutlon of our State, and by stringent penal
enaetments aimed at the use of money and
the suffrages OF the people and to thwart their

law, to exercise the utmost diligence in tho
discovery and punishment of violations of the
statutes referred to, and they are admonished
that neglect of duty in this regard will be

Flags-NaPO1eOnic. Quickness Neces-
sary In the Coming Encounter.
PARIS, Nov. 2.-DT'emDs senli-offieially
points out that LII Hung Chang's dis
avowal of Marquis Tseng was not an Of
hcial utterance of the Chinese Govern
ment, but simply Lii Hung Changes per-
! sonal expression.
1t is reported that the First Secretary Of
the Chinese legation here has stated that
war between China and France is now
certain.
The Cabinet Council to-day discussed
General Bouets account of the French
position ON the Red river, the measures
which it is advisable to adopt for
strengthening their position, and the
question OF the amount of funds which
may be necessary to bring the campaign
to a successful issue. Nothing was de-
finitely decided.
The Chamber of Deputies will probably
be asked to vote new credit. In his ac-
count General Bouet states that at least
10000 men of all arms-infantry, cavalry
ana artlllerY-wlll be required; espe-
cially cavalry, because the movements of
the Black Flags are very rapid. Every.
thing went to prove to General Bouet that
the leaders of the Black Flags are Ger
mans. The Black Flags are well
supplied with artillery. Just before
leaving General Bouet heard of
the arrival OF a strong
chinese force with Krupp guns. If the
Chinese intervene he says it will be neces
sary to send large reinforcements. Gen
eral Bouet concludes by saying that it is
impossible to form an approximate idea
of the Black Flags.

ent says that Challemel Lacour resigns

the Plaintiffs Favor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The hearing of
evidence was concluded in the suit of
Hallet Kilbourn against eX-Sergeant-at-
Arms Thompson to-day, after some legal
sparring between District Attorney
COrkhill and Senator voorhees,. Judge
Cox said that he understood that
it was agreed that the plaintiff
was entitled to recover actual
damage received in his business
and in his health. If his business was
broken up he is entitled to recover what
actually was destroyed. The principal
question in the case was whether he was
entitled to something more than compen-
satory damages. If the injury inflicted was
inflicted with malice or wantOn disregard
or the rights of the person injured,
then the jury could give exemplary dam
ages. If there was no malice or unneces-
sary harshness, then it was a case simply
for compensatory damages. "Then,' said
Mr.. Corkhill, "the defendant is willing to
submit the case without argument"
After further discussion Mr.. Coyle read a
number of prayers submitted by the de-
fense, and the court then adjourned till
Monday, when the arguments will be
