Kansas City, Feb. 60 (speclal).-There was much
comment among the grain men this morning over
the announcement that there was another blockade
OF grain In Kansas City, the fact that the Burlington
had issued an order not to load for Kansas City being
Oven in support OF the statement. They asserted
that such Is not the case, and list was prepared
showing the number Of cars Of corr each rrm on
the Board OF Trade had the tracks OF the Burling-
ton this morning making in all total Of eleven.
They claimed that the order Of the Burlington was
issued simply TO keep the grain out OF the Kansas
City market. As matter OF fact, the order was
Issued last Tuesday morning, and was done rs .
cautionary measure. The situation Is much easier
and the order will doubtless be rescinded to-mor

New Brunswick's Defaulter Surprised His
Brethren in the Church.
ST. JOHN, N. B., Aug. 2a-Develop-
ments in connection with the transactions
of g. Herbert Lee, who disappeared Satur-
day, are the talk of the town. He had held
many positions of trust and was supposed
to be model young man, being prominent
in church work and vestryman of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church. 1t is impossible yet to
obtain definite information of the differen,
estates which had been left in his charge
but it is believed that all are very mucl
depleted.
It is said the Drury estate will suffer the
most, the loss being estimated at from
$50, 900 to $4,000 The Hagen estate, 1t is
thought, will also lose heavily. Lee is de-
tanned in Boston. It is the opinion of some
lawyers here that he can be brought back as
an embezzler. No one seems to know just
what Lees difficulty was, but it is believed
he has been speculatlng in pork for some
time and lost heavily.

One Dead and Another Dying rs Resu' I
of q Mans Passion.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 23-A terrible
tragedy occurred at the home of ex-Mayor
Stephen Buhrer, No. 327 Franklin avenue,
about $50 o'clock this morning. The re-
suit is that George Talcott is dead and Ed
Hutchinson lies at ST. Vincent's Hospital
in a precarious condition. Hutchinson,
who lived on Birch street, arrived at the
Buhrer home with the intention of calling
upon Miss Eliza jackson, a domestic en-
ploy ed there. Trouble was feared and Mrs
Buhrer locked the girl in bathroom.
Hutchinson began to raise disturbance,
and George Talcott, the family coachman,
was called to put him out of the house.
When the coachman appeared Hutchinson
drew a revolver and shot Talcott in the
neck and mouth, killing him almost in
stantly. A physician was called, and he
was put out of the house by the infuriated
man. Hutchinson then threatened to shoot
Mrs Buhrer. He finally turned the re-
volver on himself and fired. He was taken
to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he is still
alive

Electric Light Inspector Rutledge Sued for
Heavy Damages.
THE NEWS OF TEE COUNTY COURTS

A hearing was had before Judge Collier
yesterday on an application for the ap
pointment of receiver for the Lewis
Foundry and Machine Company. The suit
was brought by Isaac W. Frank and Ed.
ward Kneeland against the Lewis Foundry
and Machine Company. limited, John L.
Lewis, John Davies, Mrs. Annie @. Lewis,
Mrs M. A. Lewis Marshall, Annie @.
Lewis, W. A. Heron, Mrs. Bella D. Heron,
the executors of W. A. Richards, deceased;
Thomas B. Richards and Mrs Mary Rich
ards
The Foundry and Machine Company, it
was stated in the plaintiffs bill, is limited
partnership association and was organized
with capital stock of $4,000. John L.
Lewis was one of the largest stockholders,
and at his solicitation the plaintiffs bought
stock and Frank became Secretary and
Kneeland Treasurer and Manager. Under
their management, they say, it became a
paying concern. John L. Lewis, they
allege, then wanted to oust the plaintiffs
and get control of the concern. To
do this he placed small shares with
the various members of his family
to admit them as members and voted the
stock of w. A. Richards, deceased, for
whom he was executor. The plaintiffs
were then put out of Office. The election of
the transferees as members, it is alleged, is
illegal because Lewis could not legally vote
Richards stock, and the vote would then
have been tie and no election. They as
sert, further, that Lewis, as head of the
concern, has not attended to the business.
but by long absences has neglected it and
the plaintiffs conducted it They have offered
Lewis $3.50, 900 for the interest held by HIM
self and his family, but he has refused it,
though the amount is in excess of the credit
on the books The plaintiffs say the arti-
cles of the association are defective and
their interests endangered, and they ask
that the partnership be dissolved, receiver
appointed to take possession and administer
and account for all property and assets and
make q distribution; also to declare the
election of Lewis family as members of the
concern illegal.
At the hearing on the motion for re-
ceiver, s. Schoyer, Jr., appeared for the
plaintiffs, and Major A. M. Brown and j.
S. Ferguson for the defendants. A decision
was reserved.

CARED FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.
How an Indiana Contractor Behaved to

How an Indiana Contractor Behaved to
the Families OF Employees.
HARTFORD CITY, IND, Aug. 23.-At the
recent accident here, at the glass works, four
of the five men killed were married,
Alexander Moore leaving paralytic wife
with three children. The contractor, j. V.
Smith, was away at the time of the sad
occurrence. He came home at once, and is
almost broken hearted.
He saw that all of the dead were properly
cared for and buried, and then promptly
sought out the bereaved widows and orphans
and supplied their every want, and to make
them comfortable in the future, gave to
each widow $1,000, paid all expenses and
placed them upon the payroll The Coroner
rendered a verdict of an unforeseen and un-
avoidable accident To say that Mr.. Smith
has exalted himself in the estimation of
everyone, feebly expresses it. He de-
serves the encomiums, good will and con-
fdence of the public for this manifestation
of manliness and tender regard for his
employees exhibited in this transaction.
