IMPORTANT SUIT FILED
In Chicago Yesterday Against the
Pullman Palace Car Company.
WILL EFFECT ALL BIG RAILROADS.
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Psll Road Claims the
Company Has hsis Grossly Excessive and
fraudalsn. Chngss-Dsnand IN Ac-
eountng-Ccst Of Oars and Pay d
Conductors and PuritrS

CHICAGO, August 3.-There was filed
in the L. S. Circuit Court this afternoon
a suit that may in various ways effect
every railroad OF Importance in the
country. The suit Is bill in equity
filed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul railway company against the Pull
man Palace Car Company for an ac-
counting under contract made In 1852
by which the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul road secured from 80 to IS. pal
ace, dining and sleeping cars. The road
charges that the Pullman Co. under the
contract for maintaining the cars made
charges that were grossly excessive and
fraudulent. An accounting is sought
and an Injunction asked, restraining
the Pullman Company from prosecuting
an action at law against the road for
81 900, 600 now pending In court.
The railroad company agreed 10 pay
such proportion OF the general ex-
penses OF the car company as the num-
ber of cars upon the line bore 20 the
whole number OF cars run by the Pull
man Company on all lines operated by II,
but the bill shows that the charges ac-
cording TO this agreement were S26.2l
on each car for one month, and II this
was a pro rata charge, the amount re-
tanned by the Pullman Company from
all the companies IL had contracts with
must have been Sl,2ls, SIS per annum.
Regarding the enormous amounts
paid 10 porters and conductors the bill
saws that there was never any detailed
statement OF the wages paid these en-
ployes.
The cost OF manufacturing the cars
IS also gone into, and the bills for the
cost OF these cars, IL is claimed, are
greatly in excess OF the actual cost.
r. Miller. President OF the ST. Paul
road, signed the bill certifying that all
the charges are true TO the best OF his
knowledge and belief. Edwin walker,
counsel for the road, said: This suit
will never be settled out OF court, and
we intend 10 see II we cannot bring this
to proper recognition OF the rights or
our company. IL has never acted fair
ly and squarely In the matter OF ex-
penses, and we intend that IL shall be
compelled TO account for everything.
Tho idea of putting Ia a claim Tor hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars without
particularizIng is preposterous.
"The Legislature has sent committee
after committee to investigate the Pull
man Company, but each time the same
old report OF everything being abso-
lutely perfect and right was made. It's
about time the people and the railroads
Of the country knew how affairs In tho
Pullman Company are being managed,
and we propose to find out.

KENrUCKY's ELECTION.
The New Constitution Adopted and Full
Democratic Ticket Elected.

Democratic Ticket Elected.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 3.-With a
quiet election Kentucky has to-day
elected full State ticket, adopted a
constitution and chosen a legislature to
enforce it. The State officers elected
are: Governor, John Young Brown, Of
Henderson; Lieutenant Governor, NJ. G..
Afford, of Lexington; Attorney General
w. ]. Hendrick, Of Flemings-
burg, an Auditor, Treasurer,
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Register of the land Office and Clerk Of
the Court of Appeals. All are Demo-
Gratis and 90 in by majorities ranging
from 20, 900 to 10000. The Republican
party has in Atwood, Of Mount Sterling,
not so aggressive and popular candi-
date as Bradley was four years ago, and
the Democratic majority will probably
show an increase. Returns are now in,
however, from only so out of 119 coun-
ties, and returns are not full from
these.
Thenew constitution has carried with
a sweep, and the majority is placed at
anything from fifty to one hundred
thousand. 1t has not lost in single
county, and in some cases the vote in
its favor has been practically unani
nous. The Peoples party has polled
only about 10000 votes These have
come mostly from the Republican party
and from the cities. In several in
stances where the Alliance nominees
have both been elected by two to FIVE
hundred majority.
On joint session the Legislature will
stand about as follows: Farmers and
Farmer Democrats, 7S; straight Demo
Gratis, so; Republicans, IS.

Murderers in Danger of Lynching.

CINCINNATI, O., August "a. Nc
Arthur, Ohio, special says that tonight
there is fear of an attack on the jail
there to lynch Mitchell Weaver and his
sons Henry and Colby, who last Satur-
day killed Car-InspectOr Leaman and
wounded Station-Agent Ewing at this
place. The sheriff to-day started to
take these three culprits to Jackson for

The Brumfields still Live.
Telegram. 10 the Register.


CHARLESTON, w. VA, August a.
The DISPATCHES sent out Saturday and
Sunday from Catlettsburg about the
murder of the Brumfield family by
drunken Italians in Wayne county, w.
Va. are untrue. The mail carrier from
WAYNE, c. H., to Huntington, who
made his usual trip Sunday says that
he passed the Brumfeld house this
morning and that no murder OF them
had been committed. Other persons
coming in from the locality of the al
legged crime also deny that there is any
truth in the story. The imaginative
correspondent from Catlettseurg has
done in many instances great damage
to this State by reporting sensational
crimes that never were committed ana
apparently without any foundation
The Brumfelds still live.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, August a.
The sensational dispatches sent out
from CatlettSburg about the murder OF
the Brumfeld family in Wayne county,
West Virginia, by drunken Italians,
are without foundation, the facts ex-
isting only in the imagination Of the
correspondent. A special to the Gazette,
from gentleman in Huntington, whose
vcracity is beyond question, says that
the mail carrier from Wayne Court
House to Huntington, who passed
Brumfield's house this morning, says
the entire story is fabrication. Other
parties from the same locality also say
that there is no truth in it. The peo-
people of this end OF the State are In
dignant that such absolute falsehoods
have been given so much publicity.

THE NEXT CONCLAvE.
Italy Does Not Want It Held Outside OF
the Eternal City.


ROME, August 3.-"Where shall the
next conclave be held" is question
which is now being much discussed In
governmental circles. The church dig
nitaries are interested observers. This
question, it is believed will be the pivot
of the policy both of the Italian govern
ment and the Vatican.
There is good authority for the state
ment that the Italian government has
sent explicit instruction 70 its represen-
tatiyes abroad 10 prevent the conclaye
from being held away from Rome. II
breads, above all things, foreign Pope
and a conclave away from the Eternal
City. The account OF the sit
uation which follows reflects the
opinions entertained in ecclesiastical
circles. All the Italian governments
confidential negotiations with the great
powers are believed TO be inspired with
this dominating idea: that Italy will re-
spect and safeguard the liberty OF the
conclave, and therefore no nation should
offer its hospitality to the sacred col
lege, should the Cardinals decide 70
hold the conclave elsewhere than at
Rome.>
Italy hopes that her attitude will
cause the Sacred College TO abandon all
idea of leaving Rome. or II the idea Is
still cherished privately, that the de-
sign will not receive outside support.
The meeting Of the conclave out OF
Rome would not only awaken in Catho-
lie and independent minds the idea
that the Holy See was not free at Rome,
but IL would also mark a new departure
on the part OF the papacy, the begin
ming of new era. In any case, il would
render the future an absolute uncertain
ty. Perhaps it would be the starting
point OF transformation Of the central
government OF the church.
