A Victory for Receiver Nrartinda,e.

CHICAGO, Oct lS-The attachment proceed
ings against the officers and directors of the
New York, New England and Western Invest
ment Company came up before Judge Gresham
yesterday Judge Harlan, some time ago, gave
a decree in favor of Short & Watson, against
the company, for seventy-eight shares of its
stock. To collect it. Judge e. B. Martindale, of
Indiana, was appointed receiver His demand
for the assets was refused by the officers, who
claimed that they were residents of New York
and were not under Judge Greshams jurisdic-
tion. Judge Gresham then entered a rule for
them to show cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt of court. They were repre-
sented yesterday by their attorneys who argued
that the decree in favor of Short & Watson was
against the company, and not against the Off
GERS, and that the latter being non-resdents,
were not answerable. Judge Gresham decided
that he had jurisdiction over them. because he
had jurisdiction over the company, and the only
question was whether they intended to comply
with his order. Their attorneys thought if
that was the courts view the officers would
rather obey than be punished for contempt,
and a week was given them to make up their
minds.

Canada Tires of American Thieves.

OTTAWA. Ont, Oct 1.-THE enormous influx
of United States forgers, defaulters and swim
dlers into Canada within the past month or so
has reused the Dominion authorities TO taking
further action in urging upon the British gov
ernment the absolute necessity Of arranging an
extradition treaty with the United States which,
in its scope, viii include many of the crimes and
criminals who. under the present treaty, are be-
yond the reach of law. From what can be
learned, the British government throws the re-
sponsibility of the failure to arrange new and
more extended treaty on the United States gov
ernment The question, however. has again
been revived. with the assurance that, as far as
the home authorities are concerned, matters will

Yellow Fever at Biloxi, Miss.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE State Board of
Health; having received information of the
prevalence of fever at Biloxi, Miss, eighty miles
distant, and the death there of number of
persons from this cause, held special meeting
to day to consider the matter. Statements made
before the board showed that an tinerant me-
chanic named Sumpter, who came from Biloxi,
died yesterday at Mississippi City. The ply
sician pronounced Sumpters disease bilious
fever, but one of the nurses said that he vom
tied :'black stuff" Dr. Walker made the alarm
ing statement, as coming from the people of
Biloxi, that nearly every family there had cases
of fever. He was told that in all there existed
up to last night, 265 cases; that for the past two
weeks people we're being buried quietly at night,
and that in the day time the bodies were laid
away surrepttiousy The board issued notice
to the officials of Biloxi, declaring strict quar-
antine against it.

War Regarded as Certain.

LONDON, Oct 17.-Official circles in London
and at all the continental capitals accept as an
absolute certainty that war in the East will open
in the spring In recent circular to the DOW
ers, Lord Iddesleigh expresses hopes that there
will be a normal and peaceful issue to the crisis.
He also proposes united expression of sympa-
thy for the Bulgarian governments efforts to
vindicate its independence and maintain order
To this none of the powers have yet replied.
Prince Bismarck will do his utmost to avert
war. Amongst other considerations, he knows
that a conflict between Russia and Austria
would be the signal for a panic on the
German bourses which would cause the ruin of
thousands. An authoritative estimate of the
amount of German money invested in Russia
places the amount at five milliards of marks,
which exceeds the sum received from France in
1871 as war indemnity. Another German
financial authority places the indebtedness of
the Cars government to German investors at
ten milliards of marks. The London market
has long heen distrustful of Russian securities,
and now holds but small amount, the greater
portion of them having been transferred to
Berlin. The failure Of General Kaulbarss mis-
sion is telling seriously on Russa's financial po-
sition. The rouble to-day is quoted down to 22aa
pence, which is lower than it was at any time
during the last Turkish war. German bankers
have recently been trying to quietly place
Russian securities on the English and French
markets, but without much success.

Maximilian's Widow Dying from a Renewal
Of Acute Dementia.
LONDON Oct. 16-The Empress Charlotte,
widow of Maximilian, is dying from the effects
of an acute renewal of the mania which afflicted
her for so raany years after her husbands tragic
death, but which of late seemed to be leaving
her. The return of the mental anguish was the
result of her reading the new drama 'Juarez,"
which treats of the events in which Maximilian
and his friends were concerned during the Mexi-
can expedition. After being carelessly allowed
by her attendants to read the plot. poor Car
lotta" was overcome by painful delusioCs. She
imagined that she heard Macmillan calling for
help against the traitors Juarez and Bazaine.
and insisted that she must go to his aid. To
humor her the attendants packed her luggage
and pretended that special train had been
ordered for her. They then induced her to
drink some tea before starting on the journey
An opiate was placed in the tea, which gave her
temporary relief from her mental excite
ment, but exhaustion resulted, from which the
unhappy lady hassnOt rallied and her death is
believed to be imminent

The Distinguished New Yorker Gives Reasons
for Accepting the Nomination for Mayor.

New YORK, Oct 16-Abram s. Hewitt, the
nominee of the united Democracy of this city for
Mayor, has accepted the nomination. In his let
ter of acceptance, which is made public this
evening, he says, in substance, that while his
persona, preference would be to continue in the
sphere of action in which, as Representative in
Congress, he has labored for many years to pro-
mote the substantial interests of New York, he
cannot but accept the nomination so unani-
mously rendered, because of the new issue which
has suddenly sprung up in New York city, VIZ:
an attempt to organize one class of citizens
against all other classes. and to place the gov
ernment of the city in the hands of men willing
TO represent the interests of this class to the
exclusion Of the just rights of all others.
THE idea which underlies this movement" Mr..
Hewitt says, lis at war with the fundamental
principles upon which our governm ent was
ganized and rests" Mr.. Hewitt then goes into
long review of the injury which would res ult
to the interests of the country and the stability
OF its institutions if the results of the election
should show any strength to this movement
With regard to organization OF trades unions
aid other labor organizations, Mr. Hewitt says
they should be encouraged, so that their griev
ances and demands may be submitted to public
judgment and met by appropriate legislative
remedies. 1.-The organized movement
made" continues Mr. Hewitt, ''for the first time

Peace-Maxer Barry's Record.

Cncago IlmeS
Thomas B. Barry, who has been sent to the
stockyards to 'setle" the strike there, is one of
the most pestiferous and dangerous of all the
labor agitators since the time of Martin Irons
He has succeeded fairly we'll in enriching him
self, but in every instance where laboring men
have followed his leadership they have been
heavy losers by the operation. Every strike he
has organized has been failure, and he has
proved veritable Jonah in all such enterprises,
although his own bank account has bsen steadily
increasing
In 1882 he organized strike in Cleveland
against the Powell Tool Company, which proved
failure, and in October of that year went to
East Saginaw, Mich. and went to work with tho
Michigan AK and Tool Company. At that time
he announced that he was through with strikes
and he did keep at work until July 2l, 1888,
when his proud soul revolted against more man
ual labor, and he has never done any since In
1884 he got himself elected to the State Legisla-
ture, and in July, 1885, having nothing else to
do, went to Bay City, and, by incendiary
speeches. melted strike among the mill men,
He induced the strikers to go TO Saginaw, and,
marching at the head of a mob. closed
every mill on tho Saginaw river, regard
less of the wishes of the employees in tho
matter The mob which he was leading as.
saulted peaceable citizens, intimidated working
men who had wish to strike, and drove them
from their labors, destroyed machinery and
committed other acts of a lawless and outrage
Gus character. When one Of the niils started
up, some days later. Barry urged the mob to
close it by force, and was going to lead gang OF
lavless roughs TO do it, when he learned that
the authorities had taken steps to suppress riot
ing and he ran away leaving his dupes to get
themselves into trouble. This strike, like all
that Barry engineered was also failure, and
the men lost several months pay and went back
to work worse terms than they had struck
against. Barry, however, drew good salary as
an agtator and prospered, while many of his
dupes are to-day III debt as a result of the
strike. When the strike occurred on tho Gould
system Barry went out TO help his friend Martin
Irons. whom he resembles so much, but the
minute he appeared on the scene the strikers
lost ground, and although Barry made all sorts
of incendiarv speeches, urging riot and force, he
again proved Jonah and the roads were sue
cessful From all appearances the same result
will follow bis endeavor here.
