THE WHEN
CHARGED WITH LIBEL.
Judge AFRO Dyer Sues the Evansville Courier
for Damages in the Amount of $4,000.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 9.-Azro Dyer,
judge of the Superior Court. of this city,
created somewhat Of a stir here to-day by
filing suit for $4,000 libel against the
Evansville Courier. The snit grows out of
a number of publications which appeared
in that paper in November and December
last in regard to an alleged deal between
the Citizens Electric Company and the
Evansville Gas and Electric-hght Com
pany. The Citizens company attempted to
get the right of way of the streets and
alleys of the city for the purpose
of establishing new plant here. The petit
tion was refused by the city, and the new
company took the matter into court and
asked for madamus compelling the Coun-
Gil to grant the rigat of way. While pro-
ceedings were pending in court, the Courier
alleges, some members of the Citizens COM
pany sold out to the Evansville Gas and
Electric-light Company. and agreed to
abandon the field. Judge Dyer is president
of the new company. and says that the
publications charge that the plaintiff had
committed the crime of black-mailing. that
he had been guilty of falsehOOd, whereby
he has been damaged in the sum above
named. This suit will involve large
number of Evansvilles most prominent
citizens, and when it comes to trial some
interesting facts will come to light.

The Emperor, who took personal interest

GLADSTONE AND THE POPE.

The Visit to Rome Abandoned at the Request
of the Italian Government.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The following cable
gram was received, to-day, by the Catholic
News, of this city:
'RoME, Feb 8.
''Your correspondent has been informed
by an unimpeachable authority, that Glad
stone will not come to Rome, and that he
resigns his contemplated visit to the Eternal
City by the express wish of the Italian gov
ernment. and in accordance with the re-
quest of persons high in the diplomatic
service of England. Since the announce
ment made by the grand old man, some
weeks ago, to the effect that he would call
on the Pope while in Rome, Signor Crispi
has brought all the influence he could COM
mand to make Mr.. Gladstone either
change his mind or to return to England
without visiting Rome. One of the Pope do
mestic prelates explains this move in a very
plausible way. This is only another proof,
said he, that the Italian government fears
the influence of Leo XIII on the minds of
men who come into personal contact with
him. Everyone recalls how the govern
ment succeeded in having the interview
between Leo XIII and Emperor William
cut short. This time it was feared that
Gladstone might sanction an appeal to the
nations and give countenance to a scheme
which it is known the Holy Father has in
yiew.n

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-Both the Emperor and
Prince Bismarck have held long confer
ences with Lord Charles Beresford, and the
Emperor has given him and the chiefs of
the German navy a banquet. During the in
terview the conversation turned upon Eng
lands state of preparation for war against
the combined naval forces of France and
Russia. Prince Bismarck, it is reported,
advised Lord Charles that an Anglo French
war was nearly as probable as one be-
tween France and Germany, and
that if the Boulanger clique saw pos
sibility of beating England by sudden
attack, they would prefer the risk to
taking the chances of the terrible results
of defeat by Germany. Prince Bismarck
declared his readiness to conclude de-
fensive alliance with England. He told
Beresford to strongly represent to his gov
ernment the urgent necessity that England
should put her house in order.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Failure of an Iron Company Which Was
Backed by Embarrassed Bankers.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-An Inter Ocean special
from Columbus, o.. says: The Ohio and
Western Coal and Iron Company has
failed. Glidden g. Curtis, the Boston
banking firm which collapsed few days
ago, was backing the company
and the embarrassment of the bankers
through the Pacific Guano Company's
misfortunes is supposed to have brought
about the crash in the affairs of the Ohio
company. Attachments were served to-day
against all the company's Columbus prop
erty by the Hooking Valley railroad, whose
claim is for S21, 500. Other suits have been
filed by parties residing in Cleveland and
elsewhere. The company has done heavy
business in the manufacture of iron, and
it's furnaces in the Hooking valley are
among the largest and best in the West.
1t is claimed that the assets
are large, but that for some reason the COM
pany has been unable to collect on ac-
counts long since due, and that the Boston
failure may have only hastened an inevi-
table crisis. The company was capitalized
for S3,O0O000 in bonds and 5000 900 in
stocks. OF the latter it is understood
