THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Three Receivers Appointed for the
Order of the Iron Hall.
SENSATIONAL CHARGES UTTERED
By Deputy Supreme Chief Justice Fadger
In st. Louis Speech.
FIRES, FAILURES AND THE RAILWAYS

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug 23-Late this
afternoon Judge Dennis appointed Charles
j. Wiener and Joseph G. France, receivers
of the order of the Iron Hall. The supreme
officers of the order, who reside in Balti-
more and were made party defendants in
the bill brought by Attorney Weiner, came
into court and gave their consent to the ap-
pointment Of receivers Then Judge
Dennis made the appointments. Notice
was served on all the repositories of the
funds. These receivers will administer the
fund of $135,00 still remaining in Mary
land. Of course they will not assume their
duties unless receivers are granted in
Indianapolis. Hosmer, the Supreme Vice
Justice OF the order, who returned last
night from Indianapolis, consented to the
appointment of the receivers.
Another bill for an injunction and re-
ceiver was filed to-day in the City Circuit
Court against the Iron Hall by W. Burns
Trundle, attorney for Peter W. Potts
The bill prays that an injunction may be
issued restraining the Iron Hall Savings
Bank from collecting any money due it on
mortgages and from parting with any of
the funds of the order now deposited in its
vaults. The bill also asks that receiver
be appointed to take charge of and collect
all moneys and assets of the order within
the State of Maryland under direction of
the court. Judge Dennis signed an order
granting preliminary injunction to this
effect and set August 81 as the day for the
order to show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent. A bond Of
s., 900 was filed.
A dispatch from indianapolis says:
james F. Failey, of this city, has been ap-
pointed receiver of the Order of Iron Hall.
His bond has been filed at 81, 900, 900.

here last night ], 800 local members of the
Iron Hall adopted resolutions indorsing the
order, agreeing 10 pay all assessments and
support Chief Justice Somerby. The sensa-
tion of the meeting was the speech of Dep
uty Supreme Chief Justice Badger. He

Canada,s Ministers Will Reimburse
Its Shippers for Loss
SUSTAINED BY THE NEW TOLLS.
No Additional Tariffs to Be Levied on the
Welland Canal
THE WASHINGTON TREATY MUST GO

OTTAWA, ONT, Aug. 81 Special 1T
has been decided that the Government will
reimburse the Canadian shippers for this
season, any loss they may sustain through
the imposition of tolls on freight going to a
Canadian port through the St Mary's
Canal A meeting of the Cabinet
was held to-day to discuss the outlook and
the probable effect of President Harrison's
proclamation on Canadian lake shipping
A member of the Cabinet stated tonight
that no attempt at retaliation will be made
tolls on merchant vessel passing through
the Welland Canal, as has been suggested
by some of the Government press
The Hamilton Spectator, one OF the Gov
ernment organs, urges the reputation Of
the Washington treaty, so far as trade and
the use Of the canals are concerned, and the
levying of tolls on United States vessels
passing through the Welland Canal, such
tolls to be in addition to the usual tolls
Canadian vessels are required to pay in the
ST. Mary's canal.
It was further decided to-day to carry to
the notice of the British Government the
absurdity of continuing the Washington
treaty in force in view of the fact that it
has been denuded of every clause by which
any special privileges were conceded to
Canadian citizens, and urge the abrogation
OF the treaty at the earliest possible moment
The question of asserting the proprietary
and territorial rights of Canada in the st.
Clair Flats Canal where it passes through
Canadian territory was discussed, the at
tention of the government having been
drawn to the fact that time would
weaken their right to assert
jurisdiction in these waters. It
was contended that the fact that Can
ada accepted the use of the st. Clair Flats
canal on terms of equality with citizens of
the United States as part of the treaty did
not concede to the United States any exclu-
sive proprietory rights in that waterway.

The Development of Fishery.

1t is very interesting to notice the devel-
opment of the fishery from it's original
form to the shape it is found in to-day. You
will find the Eskimo using a piece Of
bone with bent nail stuck through it, the
lure being rendered more attractive by the
addition of two or three colored beads OBJ
tanned from a trader, and perhaps a couple
of red bills of auks. He knows by eIpe-
rience that certain kinds of figures carved
in wood out of which he makes his big
hooks, will catch the greatest possible num-
ber of fish, and so he makes an invariabls
rule of using those.

tsPKCfAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
NASHVILLE, Aug. 23.-Captain Morton,
commander of Morton's battery, has re-
turned from Coal Greek to confer with Gov.
ernor Buchanan concerning the situation
there. Captain Morton thinks the situa-
tion is quite serious and that trouble may
occur. He said that General Carnes had
information that between 1000 and {, ZOO
miners were congregated at Jellico, on the
Kentucky border, and there was danger of
them making raid on Coal Creek at any
time
Captain Morton believes that 75 or 100
miners have been killed. He said that sew
eral members of the Sheriff's party were
still missing, but it is not known whether
they were killed or not. Captain Morton
said the law-abiding people of
that section are very apprehensive
of danger to life and property, unless the
leaders in the riot are severely and promptly
punished, and the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that, unless vigorous efforts for the
punishment of the rioters are pressed,
many law-abiding citizens will be killed or
driven from the country and much prop
erty destroyed.
Captain Morton will confer with the Gov
ernor and consider the advisability of ask
ing the Governor Of Kentucky for author
tty to allow Tennessee troops to 60 over the
line and apprehend any Tennessee or Ken
tucky miners who may have taken part in
the riots Captain Morton said it was Gen.
eraI Carnes' desire to have martial law
declared, but this Captain Morton thought
could not be done. He said Judge East
was of the opinion that the Legislature
alone could do this, but Attorney General
Pickle does not think the Legislature can
declare martial law, as it is prohibited bv
the Constitution.
