NOT FOR CURIOSITY.
Horbach Not Allowed to Examtnt
Horse Railway Books.


Judge Wakoley yesterday maze an order
in the case OF Horbdch vs. the Officers OF
the Omaha Horse Railway Company.
Tho plaintiff claims that years ago he
owned twenty shares Of stock in the Street
Railway company. Under the foreclosure OF
a $4,000 mortgage in 1879, the property was
purchased by Captain Marsh aud afterwards
passed into the hands of the Omaha Horse
Railway company. Mr.. Horbach brought au
action TO have the sale to Marsh set aside,
claiming that foreclosure was not neces-
sary at the time, and that Marsh,
as an officer of the company,
had no right to bid IN the
property. In July last, Judge Gron
made an order giving MIR. Horbacn permis-
sion and authority to examine the books and
accounts of the company. The officers of the
latter denied Mr. Horoach this privilege.
He secured an order citing the company TO
show cause why 1t should not be fined for
contempt. In summing up the case Judge
Wakeley said that the court had no right TO
give MIR. Horbach authority TO examine the
company's private books and accounts until
he had shown that such inspection was nee
essary to a just establishment of his claim.
"rhe courts cannot,n he held, "plNce any COM
pany's or individuals property and private
accounts under espionage TO satisfy a curos
ity. There IS timo for such an order when
the necessity TOR it is shown. The petition
Of the plaintiff IS therefore denied"

EIGHT PERSONS DROWNED.
An Arkansas Farmers Futile Efforts
to Save His Family.


During heavy rain storm an old man
named Emmerson, living in Conway County,
Ark, had the misfortune to lose his wife and
seven children in flcod. There had been a
tremendous rain on tho upper Red River
Emmerson, who is an old settler, was with
his family in his house at night when the
storm was raging. After ON hours rain the
water gradually flooded his house, and,
fearing danger, he gathered two of his chill
escape. As the door opened huge log dashed
in the entrance and knocked the little ones
from his arms. They fell ct his feet into the
swift current and were lost.
He then took up two more one in each arm,
and succeeded in getting out with them safely,
telling his wife to follow with the others, but
In attempting to escape in the same manner,
the mother, with two children in her arms
and three clinging to her dress, was carried
down with the flood and drowned. The father
and two children, the only ones left in fam
ily Of eleven, escaped with their lives.
The night was dark, and the father, with
the only two survivors of his large fairly,
stood in water above the waist, clinging to a
tree for several hours and when the waters
subsided in the morning search was made,
and the dead bodies of the mother
and seven children were discovered
scattered here and there for a con-
siderable distance around the place. the
the bodies held fast in that way. Two Of
the bodies were found in the garden lot, a
short distance from the house, where they
had been carried by the force of the water,
and others as far as fifty yards from the

Mr.. Phelps was born in New York city in
1889 and was graduated from Yale College in
1860. He continued his studies in Europe,
and was graduated at the head of his class in
the Columbia College Law School some years
later. He practised law long enough to prove
his aptitude for that profession and to SECURE
from Governor Fenton the offer Of Judicial
position, which he declined. His fathers death
left him in possession of a very large estate,
and he gave up his practice and,
changing his residence to New Jersey,
where he became the possessor of large tract
Of land between Hackensack and Englewood,
became interested in politics. In 1872 he was
elected to Congress from the Fifth New Jer-
sey District (which had been Democratic).
He was renoninated two years later, but was
defeated by seven votes. BE did not seek an
other nomination, but in 1882 was induced to
take one, and was elected by a good majority,
and was reelected in 1884 and 1886. He re-
fused denomination last year, expecting to
be chosen to the United States Senate if the
New Jersey Legislature was Republican, but
the majority was found to be with the Demo-
Gratis. He makes no concealment of the fact
that the Senate is the object Of his ambition.

OVER THE FALLS.
A Batteau Breaks Away and Carries
Six Passengers to Death.


Six Passengers to Death.
While the batteau which conveys passcn-
gers and freight across the st. Maurice River,
at Grand Piles, Canada, was attempting
to cross the river ut noon, the strong
wind and current got the best of the
chains which held it about half way
across and snapped them as if they were
threads. The current is deep and runs with
fearful velocity, Us just below the Grand
Piles Railway Station are the Grand Piles
Falls and rapids. There were ten passen-
gers, two horses a quantity Of freight and
the boatynen on board.
AS the fasteings snapped and the current
seized the battcau, whirlng it toward the
rapids, the men aboard seized oars and poles, OF
whatever else came handy, and did all in their
power to save the boat. But it was useless.
The batteau struck rock, careened and conf
,nenced to fill. Many of the passengers
Jumped overheard, and two succeeded in
reaching q small canoe, but the others, Jo-
seph Rivard bis son and his daughter,
George Hamilton, of St. Etienne, Baptiste
Bellerine, and his sister, Amelie Bellerine,
none of whom could swim, stuck to tho bat
teau.
It looked at one time as if the vessel would
stick on one of the rocks of the rapids, but tho
hundreds Of people on shore were Mortified to
see the batteau suddenly disappear beneath the
waters The passengers struggled for brief
moment in the waves; then they disappeared.
The cries of the doomed people were heart
rending, but it was utterly impossible to rem
der them the slightest assistance
