Again in Serious Trouble.

CHICAGO, May s.-[Special Telegram to
The BEE. The Chicago trust and savings
bank is again in serious trouble. Another
transaction which threatens to be serious for
President d. H. Tolman was brought to light
in Judge Altgeld's court this morning. At
torney Sigmund Zeisler appeared for an order
vacating three judgments entered by Tolman
by confession last Saturday. One of these
was against the firm of Smith & Patterson,
dealers in photographers supplies on
cognovit note for S535. The other two were
on similar notes for sSO1 and $500, executed
by Charles G. Wheeler Mr.. Zeisler said the
notes were executed in consideration of the
alleged watered stock of the bank and were
entered for judgment by Tolman after Judge
Horton had issued his injunction of Saturday
morning restraining the Chicago trust
and savings bank and its officers from taking
any such action. Tolman's attorney said the
entering of the notes for Judgment was not
disobedience of the order of Judge Horton,
as they were the personal property of MIR.
Tolman. 'Well,n said Judge Altgeld,
''while it is sometimes the practice to allow
the judgments to stand pending a hearing of
the case, it appears to me that there is such
an odor of fraud in this transaction as to
leave me no hesitancy in vacatinS the iudg
ments and granting the defendants leave to
plead" Mr. Zeisler says he will also bring
the matter before Judge Horton to discover
whether or not Mr.. Tolman is in contempt of
court

The four members of the United Mine
Workers of America who are in the city are
President j. B. Rae, Patrick Mcbride of the
executive committee, William Scalfe, presi-
dent of the Twelfth district, and David Ross
of the Illinois executive committee Mr.
Scalfe and David Ross called upon A. L.
Sweet, the big coal OPERATOR with a view of
coming to some understanding. Nothing has
been accomplished so far. 81 am willing to
grant an advance,n sa id Mr. Sweet, today,
'provided similar increase is granted by
the operators of southern Illinois. During
the big strike last summer the mines in the
southern portion of the state continued
operations, taking many of our customers
away and retaining not a few yet.
We cannot compete with the
southern people while they pay
their miners less than we do" "Altogether,n
Mr.. Sweet said "there are nearly twelve
thousand miners out throughout the state"
The miners in northern Illinois have very
poor organization, factions tending to weaken
anything like a concerted movement on their
part The committee met Mr.. Sweet this af-
ternoon again and an attempt at an arrange
ment was made whereby the men may all re-
turn to work.
An evening paper says that an amicable
conclusion has been reached, but the report
lacks confirmation.

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Belief That They Seek the Life OF In.
spectOr EbersOld.

CHICAGO, May S. Special Telegram TO The
BEE. The spirit of revenge still runs high
in the hearts of those Chicago anarchists who
four years ago caused the streets of the Hay
market to run crimson with tho blood of the
officers of the law. In those days, when
anarchy ran riot and the very arm of the law
was half parylized with fear, Frederick Eber-
sold, as chief of police, was the intrepid
spirit that bounded the dynamiters TO their
dcns and finally brought five of their leaders
to the gallows. Since that time probably a
half dozen attempts havo been made on the
life of the grizzled ex-chief, who now occupies
the position of inspector of police. The latest
attempt was only last evening. Ebersold had
left his Office at the Harrison street station
and was making homeward when u train
momentariy obstructed his passage at the
Rock Island depot and Harrison street
While awaiting the trains passing torpedo
placed on the track exploded with terrible
violence, Particles of it and flying debris
struck the inspector in. the face, for mo-
meut stunning him almost to point OF un-
consciousness. He Clutched the gate till he
regained strength and with much effort
walked home An inquiry into the case de-
velOpcd some startling facts. Some one had
placed the torpedo on the track with full
knowledge that the inspector was waiting "a
chance to get across the track. A man was
seen to follow Mr.. Ebersold from this station,
and while the latter was standing at the cato
rushed by him, dropping the explosive Just in
front of him. Who the man was could not be
learned. The opinion obtains that the accident
OF last night was planned by the same man,
who few days ago did similar thing while
the inspector was on a Wabash street ear.
The official was standing on the front plat
form smoking when the explosion occurred.
The concussion was so powerful that the car
was lifted several inches from the track. Mr..
EbersOld's hat was thrown from his head and
his cigar dashed into the street The oc-
cupants of the car were for moment panic
strcHen. The ladies screamed and the men
jumped to the ground in the widest confus-
ion. Officer Mccarthy ran from the side
walk and searched the persons who were
present when the explosion occurred, but
nothing was found.

ILLINOIS MEDICAL SOCIETY.
A Letter from Omaha Urging Her
Claims to the National Meeting.

CHICAGO, May s.-The State Medical asso-
citation resumed its session today. The fol-
lowing officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, j. p. Matthews, Carlinville;
first vice president, G. G. Hunt, Dixon;
second vice president, f. A. @. Shaefer,
Chicago; recording secretary, d. w. Graham,
Chicago; treasurer, Il. M. McSloane, Peoria;

field.
AS a result of the discussion on the condi-
tion of the insane of Illinois it was resolved
that the society should take action
at the next session OF the legislature
looking to such changes in the laws
as will prevent the present delay in
commitments to the asylums and the conse-
qucnt neglect of patients while in the earlier
and durable stages to provide suitable ac-
commodation for all the insane, and separate
quarters for all such as are confined in poor
houses, till provision is made IN the state asy-
lums. 1t was also resolved that there should
be a complete exhibit at the worlds fair of
the history and present status of the allied
sciences, and the National Medical society
was asked to take the necessary steps at once.
A letter was read from the Omaha Medical
society asking the Illinois delegates to the
national association to urge the claims of
Omaha for the next meeting of the national
body.
The association adjourned to meet at Spring
field next year.

CHICAGO, May S.-The colorcd walters en-
ployed in Kingsley's restaurant, about
eighty in number, this morning presented a
demand for the reformation of hours and
wages agreed upon by the walters union
asst night, and being denied the request
struck at noon, when their services were
most in demand Two of them were subse-
quently arrested for trying to intimidate those
who took their places. Committees of strik-
ers visited other restaurants employing col
ored help and endcavored to get them to come
out at once, but without success. 1t is
thought, however, that all of the colored
walters in the city, about nine hundred, will
be on strike before Monday next.

ELECTION
pERTISOR.
Rowell INTRODUCED
tension of Th
Bill for the Ex-
fnnCtlOns.


WASHINGTON, May S. Drcscntativc Row
ell, chairman of the cor Zee ON elections,
who was instructed by the house caucus to
prepare bill providing for the extension Of
the functions of the national supervisors Of
elections, today introduced a measure in the
house 1t is patterned upon the bill prepared
by the senate committee on privileges and
and elections reported by Senator Hoar but
carries the principle of the petition for judi
cial interference further in that it permits
fifty or more voters in county
or parish, instead of 100 voters, to secure
the benefits of the supervisory system.
1t provides punishment for any person who
shall change the position of boxes intended
for congressional ballot with the intention
to deceive The chief supervisor in each
election district is required TO keep poll
list and q list of rejected votes showing the
reasons for their rejection. He is also re-
quired separately to receive these rejected
ballots, place the name of the voter upon the
back and enclose them in separate envc-
1opes. The supervisors are also required to
inspect all ballots rs they are being can
vassed and counted by the local election Off
GERS and TO make "a separate return of the
result of the vote, being governed by the laws
of the state in the counts, except as otherwise
provided by the act. They are also to in
spect the returns for representatives and
delegates in congress made by the local in
spectorS of elections and to note whether
or not they disagree with their own returns.
In case the polls are not opened within one
hour from the time fixed by the state law it
is made the duty OF the supervisor to open
them to ballot for representatives and dele
gates for congress only and to conduct the
election and make returns according to the
state law.
In each judicial district canvassing board
is to be created, composed of the chief super
visor, the United States district attorney and
the United States marshal This board
is to correct imperfect returns, with
the assistance of the supervisor, tabu-
delegates and furnish copy to the attorney
general and clerk of the house OF representa-
tives. This latter officer is to examine the
returns where the result conflicts with the
return of the local canvassing board to the
extent of returning a different person to con-
gress Persons so certified shall be placed on
the roll cf members until the house decides
which has been duly elected

RAILROADS pvAsrREcoGxITIoM.
They Would Like to Select the
WorId,s Fair Director General

w OFtu NsenPFuIs
CHICAGO, May s.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. The railroad officials of Chicago
arc still demanding that the director general
of the worlds fair be selected from among
their ranks. Il. r. Jeffory was once promi-
nently mentioned, but it is now understood
that it is impossible for him to accept the
place The railroad magnates think that If
director general is sought in Chicago, how
ever, they could still find one among their
own ranks, and within the past day or two
they have been discussing the peculiar fitness
of H. B. Stone, who has recently resigned the
position of second vice president of the Chi
cago Burlington 81 Quincy road to accept
that of president of the Chicago telephone
company, for the position. If they had the
selection of a director general for the Colum-
-bian exposition Mr. Stone would be offered
the position. They urge that he is in every
way fitted to fill it successfully Tomorrow
evening the board of directors will hold
another meeting. No selection of director
general however, will be made Since the
directors have organized and settled down to
n concerted consideration of affairs conserv-
ative feeling has sprung up in regard to the
appointment of a director general The great
Importance OF the Office has become more and
more apparent and there is disposition to
make haste slowly. II is not necessary that
the director general be appointed from Chi
cago. The duties of the Office will be both
national and international in character and
the directors have come to believe that the
widest possible field should be canvassed in
order to secure the right man. 1t is probable
that the directors will not take final action
themselves, but will wait until the national
commission shall have been organized by the
president. Suggestion from the commission
will be entertained and reasonable degree
of unanimity on the part of the commission
and board oil directors will be sought before
the choice is made. The national commission,
it is expected, will be organized within few
weeks. The gov ernors Of eight or ten states
have already appointed commissioners and
the rest will soon fall in line

PITTsBuRG, Pa, May Sin regard to the re-
port that the miners of the United States,
numbering $1,000, affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, will strike for eight
hours, Vice President Martin, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor said tonight it was
decided at the New York meeting that after
the carpenters strike was settled the de-,
mands of the miners will be presented. The
will take charge of the matter. So far, how
ever, they have not notified the federation Of
ficials of their intention to demand eight
hours.
The coal operators here say the idea Of the
coal miners striking for eight hours is re-
diculous; that the men are paid by the bushel
and not by the day, and that they are masters
of their own time

BEE. THE city council of this place at their

was brought about by the saloons closing
their doors one week ago and refusing to take
out license, which in all would amount TO

each by the operation.

A Close Traffic Arrangement.

CHICAGO, May S.-[Special Telegram to
THE Bee THE Iowa Central has made a
close traffic arrangement with the ST, Paul
road which will entirely change the situation
of affairs between st. Paul and st. Louis.
By this arrangement new route is formed
between ST. Paul and Kansas City forty
miles shorter than any existing route and in
case of necessity this can be still further
shortened twenty miles. A new double daily
vestibule passenger service will be started on
the new route May II, and will make five
hours less time than any at present made be-
tween St Paul and Kansas City. From
Kansas City close connections will be made
with the Wabash to st. Louis and through
car service between st. Paul and ST. Louis
established. This passenger service will cut
deep into the fat passenger traffic Of which
the Chicago st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
and the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City have
hitherto had monopoly. The Iowa Central
has also made another important traffic
alliance with the Atchison, whereby itsecures
a terminal in Chicago in return for furnish
ing u terminal in Peoria to the Atchison

AFTER THE STANDARD OIL.
Ohio's Attorney General Asks That Its
Charter Be Revoked.

COLUMBUS, o., May s,-Attorney s. General
Watson has brought suit in quo warranto in
the superior court to take from the Standard
oil company its charter for violation of the
laws in various ways. The petition cites the
fact that the company has forfeited its right
by going into the Standard oil trust of New
York and receiving trust certificates in lieu
of its former shares of stock. The principal
point cited is the fact that the members of its
board of directors are non-residents, in direct
violation of state laws.
