LEAvENWoRTH, July 26.-AbOut
three weeks ago the Northwestern rail-
road company applied to Judge Brewer
of the Eighth district for an injunction
to restrain the railroad commissioners
of Iowa from enforcing schedule of
transportation rates which it had
made under authority of the legisla-
ture on the grounds that rates were too
low, that they would bankrupt the
road and that the legislature cannot
delegate its power. A temporary in
junction was granted and an explana-
ton hearing was had in this city to-
day. Judge Brewer has made a de-
clsion sonstraining the temporary in
junction; in discussing the matter, he
considers three questions, namely:
The legality of suit against the COM
missiOners, the right of legislature to
delegate power to make schedule
and the right of the state
to five railroad tariffs. He
decided that an action of such case
as this is not strictly an action against
the state and can be maintained.
SecOndly-He thinks that the state
road commissioner, at least state
courts have held that the delegation of
such power is constitutional.
ThirdIy-He maintains that while
the state has right to fix railroad
rates, it must make them reasonable
high enough to maintain the roads
pay fixed charges and return to the
stockholders, however small. The ques
ton not get being settled that the rates
of the commissioners are reasonable il

TOPEKA, Kan, July Pain Justice
Searle's court this morning the adul-
terry cases against Henry w. Moore
and Mrs. Jno. w. Norton were called
at 8 O'Clock. After waiting one hour
without either of the accused appear
ing, the attorneys desired to enter a
plea of guilty in the case of Moore
and asked the court to assess the usual
fine for an offense of that character.
The court refused to allow the plea of
guilty to be entered, and after the
names of Moore's securities had been
called three times by the constable
without production on their part of the
body of Moore, the justice declared the
bond forfeited. In the case against
Mrs. Norton the attorney stated that
they desired to make a defense, but
were not prepared: to do so at this
hearing until Monday, August 6, in
order to give the required time for
collecting evidence and preparing for
trial. The amount of MOOre'S forfeit
ed bonds is $500, which will revert to
the school funds. Capt. johnson, the
principal surety and attorney for
Moore, claims to be secured against
loss. although he states that all the
property turned over to him by Mrs.
Norton for safe keeping is embraced in
the suit instituted against johnson
Martin & Keller by Judge Laughlin
Norton's attorney, to recover the value
of such property. johnson has alsC
charge of the clothing and persona

disappearance of Moore has not We
cleared up, and no one here professei
to know his present address. If TIN
attorneys know his location they hdv,

STANDING Rock. D. T.. July a.
Sitting Bull is still absent, but the
council is going on just the same, Judge
Wright occupied most of yesterday in
explaining the provisions of the pro-
posed treaty. He was listened to re-
spectfully, but as far as can be learned
no change in the sentiments of the In
dians has been effected. Mad Bear
and other chiefs talked against the
treaty, but Black Bull, who has already
adopted the ways of white men, and
runs little farm about ten miles out
from the agency, is willing to sign it.
In the private council Tuesday night,
Gall, Two Bears, John Grass and other
chiefs talked against the treaty and de-
clared that they would not sign. 1t
will require great deal of argument
to get even fOOthold at this agency,
and the commission realizes that
it has a great task before it.,

PITTsBURG, Pa, July ga heavily
afflicted family is that of MIR. Plant, a
quarryman of New Castle, Pennsyl-
vania. His family consists of eleven
souls, nine children, his wife and self.
His oldest daughter was strirkep by
diphtheria about two weeks ago, and
in four days thereafter four more of
the children were reported its victim,
and each day added another to the list.
Each night the unfortunate man re-
turned from his toll only to witness
the departure of another life that he
had watched from birth. At last Mrs.
Plant became exhausted. Three chill
dren were lying upon one bed and
the middle one died. The poor mother
had not sufficient strength left to re-
move her dead offspring and continued
to use what little strength she had left
to keep the others alive until her hus-
band arrived. Thus far five children
of this family have died, while four and
the mother are still suffering. The be-
reaved father last night made an error
which gives promise of being the cause
of Wife'S death. Nature was crying
loudly for needed rest and Mrs.
Plant being somewhat GONZALES
cent the almost exhausted man
dOzed off and partially awoke about
the time to give his wife the medicine
and mlStoOk bottle of iodine for the
latter and gave her two teaspoonsful of
that drug which threw her into con.
VulSiOns, in which she has been since
suffering, with her death momentarily
expected. The father in consequence
is distracted and his family almost a
total wreck. The city has employed
two nurses and are rendering every aid
calculated to help the bereaYed family.

OMAHA, Neb., July 2s.-John Ander-

ton, as the displaclng of one board. or

is liable to precipitate Anderson to the
bottom of the well, one hundred feet
below. The old curbing is about all
that is covering him now. This has
formed into the roof of the box in
which he lies and to get at him from
top hole must be cut in this roof.
An effort was made to saw through
this roof, but it was abandoned, as the
sand commenced to cave in, and An
derson's platform sank two inches.
The greatest hope of his rescue now
is on account of the fact that tools
have been passed in to him and he
works as hard as his strength will per-
NIT in bTacing his platform.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 37.-The
steamship City of Pekin arrived from
Hong Kong yesterday, but will remain
IN quarantine three days. owing to
cholera. Reports from Hong Kong,
from Japanese papers of July 10Th, give
the particulars of an emute in FOUL, the
capital of Corea on June 10th, are
given. The emute had its origin in the
revival of the absurd rumors directed
against foreigners and which had
weight, owing to the dense ignorance
of the people of Japan. The Gazette
SAYS: Some evil-disposed Chinese spread
the report that American missionaries
in the country had purchased num-
Der of COrean CHI dren, and, after
killing them, had boiled them down
for medicine. This aroused the popu-
lar feeling and caused the authorities
to take steps to preserve the lives of
the missionaries, who were all called in
from the country and placed in safety.
The people next seized nine Corean Of
fcialS, who were said to have been par
ties to the sale of the children to the
missionaries, and then put them to
death by decapitation in the public
streets. In the meantime. the foreign
residents at FOUL had telegraphed to
American, French, Russian, Japanese
and Chinese men-Of-war for assistance.
There were one American man-of-war;
the Essex, the Valor having just left,
one French schooner the Aspic; one
Russian crusier, two Japanese and one
Chinese war vessel in port at the time.
AT 8 O'Clock on the night of the
10Th inst, the Essec, Aspic and
Russian vessels sent about thirty men
each. who started in seperate bodies
into ZuOl to protect their countrymen.
Prior to this the Corean authorities
sent small bodies of troops to guard
the foreign cOnsulates. No further de-
tails respecting the trouble are known.
The Juniata, the United States man
of war which left Chelnulpo hurriedly
June 2lst, to proceed to the scene of.
the COrean troubles, went ashore near
Gaugh island, and at last accounts was
| firmly imbedded in the mud. The
North China Daily News says ninety
deaths from cholera occurred in Hong
Kong during the week preceding July
I'd. The same paper is authority for
the statement that the United States
| steamer Juniata, which went ashore
near Gaugh island, got safely off the
mud bank with the tide on the night
of June 22d, and proceeded again to
| ZOul
