GALVESTON, Tx, Feb. s.--Judge
Pardeo arrived IN the city this morning
from New Orleans and convened spe-
cial session OF the United States circuit
court for the purpose Of hearing the con.
tempt cases brought by the receivers OF
the Houston & Texas Central railway
against the officers OF the suspended CITY
bank of Houston. A large and dlstin-
gulshed assembly OF lawyers was present
10 hear the testimony. The defendants
who are thus summoned TO answer at the
par OF the United States court, and show
cause why they should not stand
committed without bail Tor con-
tempt in not responding 10 the
demands Of the officers Of the court to
pay over the sum OF SSs,000 deposited
with them, are Hon VIM. H. Baker,
mayor OF Houston and late presidcnt OF
the City bank, Maj. Benjamin Weems, the
present receiver Of the City bank aud
for many years its cashier, and
Directors Robert Brewster and s. X.
McIlhcnny. These gentlemen were
all present In person and with
able counsel Messrs. Brewster
and Mcllhenny are not charged
with contempt because of their being
directors, but by reason OF the trustee
ship in the matter OF the assignment OF
the banks property 70 them and Mr..
Baker at the time OF the failure. Shortly
after the Houston & Texas Central
passed into the hands OF Re-
ceivers Dillingham; and Clarke this
court designated the City bank as the
bank OF deposit for the United States
funds, and 1t Is by reason OF this fact
that the officers u the bank are now
charged with contempt. The cyi.
dence thus far rendered Is
Of character corroborating
the heretofore published accounts OF The
banks affairs. ssany witnesses from
Houston are In attendance. The defense
rests Its hopes on several points, the
most general Of which Is the
claim that the bank was really insolyent
when the court designated II as the
federal depository. Tue care is VI un-
usual Importance from the fact that II
the court linds d, PENDANTS guilty OF con-
tempt, II may vemand them to
Jail st its pleasure, and their
release under babeas corpus writ would
have 10 be heard by the supreme court Of
the United States. The hearing will oc-
cupy couple u days.

fray took place this morning at the Henry
Clay coke works OF Frick a. Co, near
Bradford About four hundred strikers
from Lecsening marched 20 the Henry
Clay works, where a few men were at
work. When the strikers appeared on
the hill above the ovens they began firing
on the workmcl. They kept up
this firing for some little time,
but nobody was hurt. As they came
nearer and their aim became better, sew
eral men were slightly injured. one OF
the men who was beaten by the strikers
for refusing TO quit work day or two
ago retnrtfS their fire. He shot several
times, and hit one OF the men, who fell
and was carried on b. his companions.
1t is not known how badly he was injured.
This returning OF their fire iniuriated the
strikers, who set upon WIN. Scissor,
foreman OF the men,and gave him severe
beating. The man was left lying on
the ground unable TO walk or defend him
self from the stray kicks which the riot
ers gave him as they passed TO and fro.
The rioters made an attack upon the
Triple house, drove the men In charge
out of 1t and upset the office stove, which
employees OF the company made plucky
attempt TO put out the fire and save the
Triple, but were driven away by the
strikers, who surrounded the TIP
pie and guarded cit until IL was
consumed. The strikers did not
attempt TO burn anything else, but after
remaining al the works short time
longer they went to the Sterling works,

deputy sheriffs were at the Henry Clay
ovens, but were powerless TO do more
than identify some of the leaders. At
Sterling, Sheriff Stewart met the strikers

with him. He made speech TO the strik-
ers, and they seemed disposed TO listen
to him ut first, but when he counseled
them to avoid further violence they
booted him and became very violent. The
mob then left for Scottdale, where they

Al. Underwood, dry-goods merchant,
made IN assignment tod. s. Grinnan ior
the benefit OF creditors. Mr.. Underwood
informed reporter that his liabilities
would be abont $1,000, aud that his assets
would amount TO about $4,000. About
two years ago Mr.. Underwood had hardly
recovered from disastrous confiagra-
ton when he was closed by attachment
He succeeded, however, In making salts
factory adjustments and was soon on his
feet again. Since this he was supposed
TO be In fair way 10 como forth from all
former embarrassments. Seeing that the
times would not allow this, and In order
70 keep the most relentless from rushing
upon him and sacrificing his stock, he
adopted the alternative OF an assignment,
that oil might fare alike. Mr.. Underwood
will have the sympathy Of many warm
friends.
