Elevation Alliance.

The members Of Elevation Alliance, OF
Shawnee county, are keeping up their
record as a live, wlde-awake Organiza-
tiOn. AZ late meeting they unanimously
resolved that the farmers alliance was
the truest, best and most powerful friend
Of prohibition in Kansas, Referring to
the attacks made upon the peoples party,
charging II with being hostile to prohl-
bitlon, they declared themselves intense
ly loyal TO the party and at the same time
asserted their devotion and entire allegi-
ance TO the cause OF prohibition. They
declared In most emphatic terms their
determination to stand by the enforce
meut Of all our prOhlbitOry laws, espe-
Clally the Murray law. They pronounce
vigorously against the original package
abOmlnatiOn, and they call attention to
the fact that their alliance sent its quota
Of delegates to the meetings Of the State
Temperance Union and also to the pro-
hlbitlon convention held at Topeka in
July last. @. N. Duncan Is president,
and F. w. Leech is secretary Of this true
blue alliance. e

EDITOR ADvooATE:-Thinking a few
lines might be Of interest, here goes.
j wish all Kansas could have heard
the Hon. j. G. Otis In his address to the
citizens Of Rochester, November 10.
We had felt that the battle was over. In
a mastery address Of over an hours
duration, he showed us that we had just
fred the first skirmish shots; showed
why the need OF the new party and the
work Of II. Several who heard him said
"If had seen it in that light / should
have voted the peoples ticket" We feel
convinced that this district will be ably
represented by Mr. Otis, and II the rest
Of the Kansas delegation are the equals
Of Mr.. Otis (and we have no doubt on
that score) these old parties will hear
from them in no uncertain tones.

A SENSATIONAL GLASS SUIT.
Minority Stockholders Object 10 tho Ford
City Works sale.


City Works sale.
An argument ON the motion for an injunction
to restrain the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company
from issuing $3.50 900 capital stock of the CON-
pany to J. B. Ford & Co. at par value, was
heard by Judges McKennan and Acheson in
the United States Circuit Court yesterday.
Attorneys Schoyer and Errett represented the
plaintiffs who are the minority stockholders in
the Plate Glass Company, and Attorneys ID. T.
Watson and W. s. Scott appeared for the de-
PENDANTS.
The suit is in regard to the sale of the Ford
City Glass Works to the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company for 81 500000 1t is alleged that the
works were built by ]. B. Ford q Co., who COM
prise a syndicate of the majority of stockhold-
ers in the Plate Glass Company. ana were sold
TO the latter company at an exorbitant price
The price was s., 5000 OF which $3.50, 600 was
to DC, paid in bonds and $4,000 in the capital
stock of the Plate Glass Company. At a re-
cent meeting of the directors of the glass COM
pany, a majority of whom are in the syndicate,
a resolution was passed authorizing the issue
to j. b. Ford & Co., IN part payment for the
Ford City Works, 5000 shares of the capital
stock. The par value of the stock is 500 per
share, hut as the market value is SlS5 per share,
1t is alleged that to issue the stock would be
paying S637, 500 more than even the agreement
price. To restrain this issue the injunction
was asked for.
Sol Schoyer, ESQ.,, read the petition and sub
mitted afidavits of G. B. Mclean and others.
1t was asserted that the syndicate of J. B. Ford
q Co. owned SeVen-tenthS OF the STOCK OF the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company and composed
four-fifths of the Board of Directors of the
same. Mr.. Schoyer reviewed the charges and
set forth the duties of stockholders and
directors, maintaining that the erection of the
Ford City works, the subsequent sale and the
present attempt to increase the price. was
plain case of wrongful use of their powers as
directors of the plate glass company. Mr..
Schoyer asked further that if any Injunction is
granted, it be granted SO that no stock or bonds
be issued which will exceed 81, 600 0O0 the price
they believed the works cost and are worth.
d. T. Watson maintained that the petition is
dishonest on Its face. The first negotiations
for the purchase of the Ford City works. he
said, came from the minority stockholders and
not from ]. B. Ford & Co. The offer contained
the words stocks at par" and by that alone
the motion must fail
An affidavit from John Pitcairn. Jr.. concern
ing the purchase, and holding that the agreed
price was 5000 shares of stocks at par, was
read. The price of the stock, which was then
$50 per share, was never mentioned. The de-
it was stated, were willing to rescind
the contract and take back the WORKS.
Mr.. Watson continued that Mr.. Barr had
figured out that J. B. Ford & Co. would get
about 81 600 900 for the works. The Court took
the papers and reserved its decision.

A suit to recover SIC, 900 damages was be-
gun before Judge Stowe, In Common Pleas
Court No. l, yesterday. B. F. Cornelius,
an engineer employed at the Westinghouse
Electric Works, is the prosecutor, and ]. I.

The suit is supplementary to a suit for di-
vorce instituted by Cornelius some time ago,
in which a decree was granted him.
Attorneys W. T. McGary and j. S. Robb
appeared for the plaintiff, and 7. NJ. Mar
shall and W. D. Moore for the defendant.
Cornelius and his wife were married in
1859, and have five children. His work kept
him employed from o'clock in the evening
to o'clock in the morning. During those
hours, it is alleged, Hambay met Mrs. Cor
nelius, and, it is also alleged, alienated her
affections from her husband. The first wit
ness put on the stand was Mr.. Cornelius, the
prosecutor He testified to the date of his
marriage with his wife, and then to the Incl
dents leading up to his reasons for applying
for divorce. He swore to seeing his wife
and Hambay together on the street, and follow
ing them. Once, in the spring of 1883. he fol-
lowed them to a hotel on Eleventh street On
conduct, and in an argument choKed him.
William s McElhaneY, a slate-roofer, testi-
fed TO being in the vicinity of the hotel when
Mrs. Cornelius came along with Hambay. Mr..
Cornelius, whom the witness knew. was follow
ing them, and told McElhaney to look at Ham
bay. He identified the defendant in the court
room as the same man, but had never seen him
bSfore or since. He saw the couple go into the
house and about an hour after came out again.
David Gass, farmer. of Bennett township,sa
them together on Federal street, Allegheny
but saw nothing unusual in their conduct
Mrs. Hall, sister of Cornelius, was put on
the stand. She was very positive in all of her
testimony, and told of how she had seen Ham
bay and Mrs Cornelius in the Allegheny Parks
one night in spring, some three years ago. 1t
was between 10 aHd IL o'clock at night. An
other time she saw Hambay assist her onto
street car. going to Allegheny. Mr.. Marshall,
in cross-examining her, asked her how she
came to be in the parks at IL o'clock at night.
She said she was on her way home TO Ridge
avenue, with her son, a boy of about Is years.
She did not know how Hambay was dressed;
whether he had on a stiff or soft hat or what
was the color of his coat, but she could tell the
color of his eyes She was not asked what they
were. When asked whether they were stand
ing on the grass sitting on a bench, she said
they were sitting a bench; and when asked
what kind of a bench. she said: Il presume
you have seen the benches in the park, haven't
your She was allowed to go. and court ad-
sourned.
