THE SUIT BEGUN
To Prevent the Contamination OF
ChieaEo's stOekyards Sale.

CHICAGO, June lathe antici-
rated suit TO prevent the c0nsum-
nation Of the proposed so, O0O, 600
sale Of the Union Stockyards to an
English syndicate was commenced
before Judge Tuley this afternoon.
Decidedly sensational charges are
made, and the court Is asked 10 re-
move the present officers OF the COZ
poration, appoint a receiver and Is
sue an injunction restraining the
proposed issue Of bonds and sale OF
the plant and stock.
The complainant in the bill Is
Frank +. Baker, n dealer at the
yaris aud owner ofl50 shares OF the
capital stock. He makes the defen-
dants, Nathaniel Thayer, Of Boston,
the company's president; John b.
Sherman, general manager; George
+. Williams, secretary and tressu-
rer; J. G. Dennison, assistant secTe-
tary, and six of the best known rail-
road magnates in the United States
John Newell, Martin Hughitt, j.
NJ. McCulloch, J. G. McMullin, II.
Il. Stone, II. II. Cable and Stuyve-
SAINT Fish, directors Of the Union
Stockyards and Transit Company.
THE OTHER DEFENDANTS
are Russell Monroe and Richard
OIney, promoters Of the enterprise to
sell the yards. The London Con-
tract Company, TO whom it is pro-
posed to make the sale, the Central
Trust Company Of New York, to
whom a mortgage was to be given,
ami William Cornelius Vanderbilt,
John II. Hoxie, Of Texas, and James
II. Ashley, who, with President
Thayer and Manager Sherman, own
a majority Of the stock.
The bill charges that the defend
ants are inspired with the sole inten-
ton Of selling the property for a
little over half its actual value; that
they then propose to depreciate the
value Of the stock and run the pro-
perry value down until it reaches
minimum. Then when the small
stockholders are frozen out, the ma
nipulatoTs intend TO buy the plant
and goodwill for a mere song.
Baker asserts that the stock is
intrinsically and actually worth 500
per share, whereasit isprUpOsed toEell
to the syndicate for $3.50 per share,
Of which only 500 Is cash.
Among other points made in the
bill are that the purchasing COM
pany, the London Contract Com
pany, and the Central Trust Com
pany, are the alien corporations, over
which the courts here can have no
Jurisdiction, and, furthermore, being
British corporations, they have no
community Of interest with the
Western stockholders, etc
Judge Tuley referred the matter
to the Master in Chancery for n hear
ing.

An AWARD

OF the contract for construction OF
the sI00 ton armored cruiser was one
Of the questions considered at to-
days cabinet meeting. There are
but two competitors, the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco, and Cramp
& Co., Of Philadelphia, and each Is
working hard to secure the contract.
The Union Iron Works made the
lowest bid on the plans prepared by
the Navy Department, while the
Cramps made the lowest bid for the
ship under modified department
plans. Secretary Tracy said today
that the matter would be settled in
n few days, but declined to commit
himself further. Naval officers, in
conversation upon the matter, are
inclined 10 believe the chances favor
the Union Iron Works.
THE PRESIDENT
has selected three Of the appraisers
provided for in the customs admin
istrative bill, and il is expected the
names will be sent TO the Senate
Monday. IL Is known that Assist
ant Secretary Tichenor is one Of the
three, and 1t is thought that Solicit
or Hepburn Is another.

FIXING A PRICE ON TWO EYES.
Damages for Total Blindness Assessed at
Marquette al $4,000.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 29.-In the
case Of Richard Rllston against the
owners of the Colby mine for
$751; COO damages for the loss of his
sight from an explosion of powder, the
jury this morning returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, assessing his damages
at $4,000. Rillston is a young man
having more than the average laborer's
intelligence. He was employed in an
engine house at the Colby mine, and
was permanently blinded by an explo-
sion of blasting powder in that
building on May s, 1888. The
defense alleged contributory neg
ligence on Rillston's part. The evil
dence in the case so far discloses a de-
gree of carelessness verging upon the
criminal in the methods of handlingthe
high explosives used in modern mining,
on the part of both companies and en-
ployes. Sticks of giant powder are al
lowed to lie around loose,
and are handled with the ut
most abandon. Employees placed in
charge Of powder stores often smoke
their pipes in the vicinity of the pow
der. Mine officers order the stuff
thawed out and dried in engine houses,
where the heat and the jar of machinery
render the work dangerous, and permit
the preparation of fuses and fuse caps
by persons who are careless or I'M
skilled in their use

TROOPS TO KEEP PEACE.
The Governments Steps to Prevent
Further Trouble In Tipperary.

The Governments Steps to Prevent
Further Trouble in Tipperary.
DUBLIN, Sept. 26.--Ihe streets of Tip
peray were throngeG with people till
late hour last night, discussing the ex-
citing events Of the day. AS little pro-
gress had been made toward DISPOSE
ton Of the cases against the arrested
Nationalist, and as the general
impression created by the courts
rulings was not one compliment
tary to the tribunals sense of
fairness, there was much speculation
as to what the morrow would bring
for them. The leading Nationalist had
prolonged consultation in the evening.
A further attempt to bring Sergeant
Kennedy, Of the police force, to account
for some Of the clubbing yesterday in
front of the court house will be made.
The situation at Tipperary this MORN
ing is much more tranquil than yester-
day. The streets are still thronged
with people who seem to be laboring
undersuppress excitement, but there
has been no collision with the police.
The authorities are taking special
precautions to guard against the posi-
bility of an outbreak. A detachment of
soldiers is assisting the police in main
tanning order. The space in front OF the
court house is held by a strong guard,
and both soldiers and police are patrol
ling the streets.
The session of the court for the trial
of the conspiracy case was of short du-
ration this morning. When the houS OF
opening came, the presiding magistrate
announced that it woulu be Impossible
to go Oh with the cases this morn
ing as the Judge of the coun-
ty court required the building. 1t
would be necessary, therefore, to adj
journ further proceedings until the al
ternoon. Before the magistrate could
declare the court adjourned, Timothy
Heely sprang to his feet, and in the
name of the defendants offered an
earnest protest against an adjournment
tor the reason given. 1t was not right,
he urged, that the magistrates in
such case should suit their
actions to the convenience of the
county court. The judge of that
tribunal should be the one to yield in
stead of insisting on the letter of his
rights in the premises. Men had been
brought to Mpperary from their homes
for trial. They had a right to expect
that the trial would be expedited all pos
sble. It was becoming more and more
manifest. Mr.. Healy declared that the
defendants were being treat with every
discourtesy the authorities could devise.
Mr.. Healy's protest was unavaiing. AS
soon as he resumed his seat the court
was adjourned anti HE afternoon.

A SAD DEATH.
Suicide of a Daughter of Gen. Simeon
Mills,

Mrs Hayes, wife of DR.. Charles G.
Hayes, leading physician of Hyde
Park, Mass, while laboring under nerv-
GUS prostration, committed suicide on
the 2Sth, by deliberately walking into
the Neponset River, all dressed as if for
church. The lady is highly con-
nected, being the daughter of
Gen. Mills, Of Madison, who sur
wives her. Her only son, Mills
Hayes, is prominent lawyer in
ST. Paul, MINI. Mrs. Hayes was 80
years old and for the past decade has
been martyr of an acute nervous affec-
ton. She suffered greatly, and in hopes
that new scenes would give her tortured
mind a rest she sold her beautiful
home few months since, but instead of
relief she grew worse and deeply re-
GREETED her action. This preyed
terribly on her mind. DIR. Hayes
returned home late Saturday even
ing, and found his wife sleep
ing. When he awoke next morning she
was gone, and he found pinned on the
wall note for him from his wife in
which she said she could stand her
trouble no longer, and, after an affec-
tionate goodbye, announced that her
body would be found in the Neponset
River Later in the day the body was
recovered. Foot prints on the shore
showed that she had deliberately walked
into the river and laid down in the
water where it was scarcely over her

Queer Mari iages.

Rev. w. G. Wade, Congregation
al pastor in western Maine, says the
Boston Herald, has been telling some
stories about queer marriages. He
says: II once married couple and
where the young man seemed good
and honest, but not very quick witted,
The girl was bright and smart, but
proved tickle and false, for she soon
tired of her husband, who came back
to know if / could unmarry him. Of
another couple l was called upon to
unite few years ago the groom was
seventy-four and the bride ninteen.
He had given her $4,000 before he
became her consort. His children
(middle-aged people, and neighbors
showed their disapproval of the mat
ter by indulging in serenade of such
gigantic proportions that the din caus-
ed people miles away to think the
world was coming to an end. Twelve
horse-fddles, with cannon and tin
fish-horns, seemed to shake the earth.
One couple presented themselves to
be married, and in answer to the ques-
ton, DO you take this woman to be
your lawful welded wife p he would
break in with, why of course ; |
would proceed, TO care for her in
sickness or in healthy' when the
groom would answer again, 'Sartin,
sartin I'm all right. I'll doctor her
up if she gets sick The bride nudg-
ed him to keep quiet, when he turned
to her with the question, Hey Polly
what you want9' When finally got
them married the fellow said, We'll,
parson, what's the damages P and
learning that it lay with him to fix the
price he rewarded me with rs cents
and the promise of a bag of potatoes
in the fall still have the promise.
