opposing the reorganization of the

was filed here in the United States

asks Tor an injunction and restraining

aside the foreclosure and sale of
the railway. The cOmplainantS
are S. w. Casey, of New Jersey;
Warren s. SilleockS, J. Van Setback, A.
KOhn and ID. 2. Ingraham, Jr., of New
York, and James Landale, George Viii
son and Andrew s. Mcfarland. of

Houston & Texas Central Railroad COM
pany to the amount OF $4,000. The
defendants are the Houston Il

pany of New York, Easton and Rantoul,
trustees; the Southern Pacific company,
L. p. Huntington, the Morgan, Louis
lana Il Texas company. Frederick p.

plainants allege that the proceedings of
foreclosure by which the road was sold
to Frederick X. 0lcott for SO. $50, 900 and
one of its branches to George E. Downs
for $4,000 were eX-parte in force and
effect, IN that no opportunity was given
for proper defense, and that the de-
cree of the court outlined in this behest
was invalid and beyond the power of
the court to grant; that the entire pro-
eeeding was but part of the plan laid
by Huntington and his associates to Sc
cure possession of the Houston & Texas
Central property without due regard 10
the interest of the stockholders.

a Tragic Tale From Paris.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
The following strange history has
been whispered abroad concerning one
of the principal dressmakers OF Paris, a
woman WHOSE taste and tIegance OF de-
sign in certain details of feminine cos
tune are well known. 1t appears that
there exists in Paris law forbidding
any house that employs work people
from forcing them to work after a ST, D.
ulated hour, which is, think, 10o'clock
The pressure of orders inevitable to the
Exhibition season tempted Nine. X
to break this law. Her workrooms
were in full tide of operation one
evening near midnight when an Omi-
nous summons sounded at the door,
followed by the dreaded mandate:
''Open, III the name of the lawr' In an
instant the goods and sewing nipple
ments were whisked out of sight. the
lights were eXtnguished. and the work
women were hidden away. here. there
and everywhere, One girl, delicate
little creature, was hurriedly thrust
into great wardrobe hung with dresses.
the door closed and locked upon her,
and the key removed. The visit of in
spection of the police revealed nothing,
and as soon as they had taken their de-
parture the girls were released from
their hiding places. But when the
wardrobe door was unlocked the corpse
of the unhappy child who had been
concealed there fell upon The floor. She
had died of sutfocation. This story has
been huShed up, not a hint of it appear
ing in tie Paris papers.
