HAu.n

still In a Quandary But New England
stock Dropping.
A Boston dispatch says regarding the New
York & New England deal which puzzles
Wall street: The latest statement made
more circumstantial1y than any previous
ones is that it is proposed to consolidate the
New York, Hew Haven & Hartford, the Bos-
ton & Albany, the New York & New Eng
land, and the Boston & Providence railroads
into one corporation, with capital stock of
800, 900, 900. Of the new stock the New
York, New Haven & Hartford would receive
thirty eight per cent, its stock being put in
at $50 The Boston & Albany would
ceive forty per cent, its stock being put in
at 300 The New York & New England
share of the new stock would be fifteen
per cent, its stock being put in at seventy
five. The Boston & Providence would re-
ceive only seven per cent, its stock being
put in at 100. The valuation of the several
lines is estimated in the proposed consolida-
ton on a stock basis as follow: Boston &
Albany, SAC, 200, 900; New York, New Haven
& Hartford, $39, 900, 900; New York & New
England, $15, 100000; Boston & Providence,

President Watrous says regarding the

movement of the stock.
One OF New York's most noted business
men, when seen at the depot in this city by
a COURIER reporter Saturday, said it looked
to him as if Gould, Field and Sage we've at

Lieutenant Governor Ames, of Massachu-
sets, said Saturday.: ''I think Mr.. Field
has no cause of complaint against Governor
Robinson on that New England bond sub
ject," and added: ''I have friend who was
carrying New England stock during the last
advance at about 81. He asked my advice
and strongly urged him to sell at least half
and bank the profits, and he did so, but not
before it had broken to 81. Still think New

ASSAULTED HY HIS FRIENDS.
A Daring Attempt TO Murder Rich
Old Farmer.

A Daring Attempt 70 Murder A Rich
Old Farmer.
, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10.-A gentleman
from Columbus, Bartholomew county,
brings the details of daring crime perpe
trated Friday night in that city. Joseph Ell
lott is wealthy and respected farmer near
ly seventy years of age and resides upon a
fine farm in the northwestern part of the
county. He lives alone with his wife and
makes it an unvarying custom to visit the
outhouses before retiring at night. Friday
night when he entered the door leading to
the barn he was seized by the throat and at
the same time a pair of arms encircled his
waist. With powerful effort the old man
hurled himself back and striking the door
he and his two assailants rolled upon the
outside In another instant third man ap-
peared and Elliott was carried back into the
barn, the man who first attacked
him holding firm grip upon
his throat The would-be assassins next
produced rope and placing it around the
farmers neck drew him up to one of the
rafters. When an hour passed and her hus-
band did not return Mrs. Elliott secured the
assistance of a neighbor and they found the
farmer on the floor of the barn with the rope
broken, but imbedded in his neck. He re-
manned unconscious for several hours and
when restored told the story as related above.
When questioned as to the identity of the
men he refused to say whether or not he
knew them and there is a suspicion that they
are relatives of the farmer who would profit
by his death.

THE SUPREME COURT SESSION.
Crowded and BeIated Calendar With
Prospects of Running Still Further
Behind


Behind.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1O.-The October term
of the Supreme court of the United States
opens tomorrow with larger and more
crowded docket than ever before. A year
ago when the court met there were /, 033
cases the docket; tomorrow there will be
1 100 facing the court. Last year the court
cleared up about four hundred cases. and
with that number as fair basis of work for
the coming year the court it may be said, is
nearly three years behind hand and with fair
prospects of running still further behind
this and each succeeding year unless Con-
gress does something to relieve the matter.
1t is conceded on all sides that something
ought to be done to facilitate and expedite
the work of the court and various PROPOSE
tions have been advanced to accomplish
this, but none of them have found favor
with either house of Congress and SO the
court goes on from year to year with
its uphill work. OF course it is
Congress, and Congress alone, that can rem
edy matters, but officials connected with
the court here have little faith in immediate
relief from that quarter and say things are
likely to go on frem bad to worse. The
court will meet formally tomorrow, but will
transact no business beyond passing favora-
bly, upon the applications on file of lawyers
who desire TO practice before it. The court
will then adjourn for the day and in accord
ance with the custom of years will proceed
in body to the executive mansion where
the judges will pay their respects to the
President. On Tuesday business will fairly
begin and number of cases which have
been advanced in the docket will be taken
up. First among these are what are known
as the Boston Pacific National bank cases,
ten in number, made up of appeals by stock
holders from the decision of the United
States Circuit court of Massachusetts,
in favor of the receiver of the
bank and involving the question of the
right of the controller of currency to assess
the shareholders ten per cent. of their stock |
for the benefit of creditors of the bank. An
other of the advanced cases is the appeal of |
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad from a |
decision in United States court vacating |
the companys title to twenty thousa- d acres |
of land along the route of their road. Still |
another of the advanced cases is that of the /
Choctaw Indian nation appealing from de- |
cision of the court of claims which allowed |
the Indians $500, 900 for land IN the Indian |
territory conveyed to the United States I'M
der the Choctaw treaty of 1920. The Choc- |
taw Indians not satisfied with this allow |
ance and viii endeavor in this suit to obtain |
several million dollars more. A full bench |
is expected tomorrow all of the judges |
are understood to be in the city.

Miss Annie Pixley, assisted by a superior
comedy company will appear at Carll's Opera
House next Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee. She will present her two
grand successes "The Deacon's Daughter"
and "M'liss." The New York Times says:
ssMiss Annie Pixley appeared as Miss be-
fore very large audience at the Grand
Opera House last evening, and was welcomed
with great enthusiasm. Miss Pixley displays
much grace, agility and general aptitude IN
her work and is, moreover, free from any
thing like coarseness or indelicacy. Her per-
formance is never wanting in righteousness.
It proved last evening exceedingly effective.
She was most heartily applauded and was
unanimously recalled at the end of each act.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.

Drunken Husband Drives Dagger
To His Wtfes Hea art And Then Kills
Himself.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-As Josie Martell, a
pretty variety actress, who has been filling
an engagement at Eshers A1hambra Theater
on st. Charles street, was about to prepare
for the performance tonight her husband,
Frank Sanmeyer, entered the dressing room
and without word threw one arm about
her and with the other plunged dagger ten
inches long into her heart. She broke away
and ran into the rear dressing room where
she fell and shortly afterward expired. At
ter the woman freed herself Sanmeyer turned
the weapon and thrust it into his own
breast several times, only desisting when
seized by the special officer of the house. He
fell and expired in a few minutes. Both
bodies were removed to the morgue. San
meyer had been extremely jealous of his
wife and was drinking heavily.

THE PORK PACKERS STRIKE.
A Committee of Knights on the Way
From Richmond.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1O.-Quiet prevailed in
Packingtown to-day. The butchers employed
in Armour & Co.'s two beef houses and in
the establishments of 6. F. Swift & Co. and
Nelson Morris put in an appearance this
morning and went to work killing some hun
dreds of cattle and afterwards cleaned up the
houses. Besides these operatives there were
not one hundred men in the yards. The
Pinkerton men lounged about their barracks
and were put through their drill. Several of
Armour & Co. g butchers on getting through
their work stated that they thought they
would be unable to work tomorrow. 1t was
also asserted that the locked out men would
compel the butchers in the houses of Ar
mour, Swift and Morris to go out with them.
This, it is claimed, would prevent the men in
these houses from killing for the houses
whose operatives were on strike. The arrival
of Messrs. Barry and Butler, the committee
dispatched from Richmond by the Knights
of Labor convention to investigate the trou-
bic, is anxiously awaited and the men have
been cautioned to act prudently until the ar
rival of the committee. The engineers in
Armour's threaten to strike. They have
been working three shifts and were cut down

His Insult to a Correspondent and
His Action on the Color Question
Drawing Down Much Criticism.
RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 10.-One of those beau
tiful October suns discovered here by Daniel
Webster in the good past shed it's bright rays
upon the people of Richmond to-day. The
people of Richmond are great church-goers
and the streets were thronged in the fore
noon by worshippers on their way to church.
From the various hotels and boarding
houses the Knights delegates to the general
assembly in convention could be seen making
their way to church. Mr.. Powderly arose
early and at 10 o'clock he started for st.
Patrick's cathedral on Church Hill. He was
accompanied by Secretary Turner and many
leading members of the order. The pres
ence of the grand master workman was ex-
pected, but there was no unusual addition to
spent the afternoon in private
and sociable way and the assem-
bly, received courteous social no.
tice at the hands of the people.
In the hotels the talk was about the parade
to morrow and it is quite evident that so far
as Richmond and Manchester are concerned
there Will be but a small turnout. This Is
owing to the fact that the color line has been
raised by the action of District Assembly No.
40. The people are not prepared to accept
Mr.. Powderly's attempt to practice what be
asserted was the preaching of the order, to
accept all men on equal footing, regardless
of color creed or nationality. All the same
the parade will be big one. The progr anime
embraces a parade, music and entertainments
of side show character at the fair grounds.
The insult offered the New York Times
by Mr.. Powderly through
Tom O'Reilly, of district assembly No. 45
of New York, was severely commented on
to-day by Richmond citizens. The tenor of
the talk in private circles of the Knights to-
day supports this criticism and it is fact
that had Mr.. Powderly been reasonably ed-
vised he would not have been guilty of any
such rude conduct. This behavior of Mr.
Powderly and the color-line question has
done much to bring the order into ill-favor
here.
