The Suit at Charlsess Against
The, Norfolk and WESTERN.

PHILADELPHIA June 3.-presidcnt T..
]. Kimball of the Norfolk and Western
railroad this morning made the follow
ing official statement regarding the legal
proceedings against the Norfolk and
Western Railroad company at Charles
ton, w. Va, brought by the assignee OF
the Thompson brothers, contractors,
against the company: I'VE have had
no notice whatever of any suit having
been brought against our company. The
Thompsons had Il contract upon our Ohio
extension and at the completion of their
work, our company owed them about
500 900, but before settlement could be
made the Thompson Bros. failed and
made an assignment, when some twenty
creditors attached the amount due them
in our hand, thus preventing our com
pany from making a settlement with the
Thompson Bros.
"Our company is prepared at any time
to deposit the amount in dispute with
the court for distribution. AS u matter
of fact out of the total expenditure of
So ,OOO, 900 upon the Ohio extensions he
amount still due the contractors is but
$40 900, which includes the $2o, 600 due
the Thompson Bros.

WATER TOPICS.
The Break In the Pipe Lime Has
Been Repaired.

The break in the water pipe has
been repaired, and water was on in the
city mains awhile this morning. The
new pump has been working all day and
pipe and pump seem to be in good order.
WatcrwOrks Superintendent Murray
told TIE CITIZEN at noon that he hoped
to be a bic to turn the water on again at
> or O'Clock this afternoon and leave
it running long enough for cooking
and bathing purposes tonight. In
the morning the supply Will bc on again
for a few hours and again i'll the after
noon and evening. OF course this
arrangement is subject to change should
any break occur in the line 1t should
be stated, also, that the closest economy
in the use Of water is necessary.

CHICAGO, Juuc 3.-Thc federal court
this morning refused the application of
District Attorney Milchrist for a restrain
ing order closing the gates of the Fair
tomorrow. A decision in the njunc ton
case is postponed till next Thursday.
CHICAGO. June 3.-The Worlds Fair
will be open at least one more Sunday,
despite the proceedings that have occu-
pied the attention of the u. S. court
during the present week Judge Woods
announced this morning that there were
several law points involved in the argu-
mcnts that required careful attention
and consideration and that in consc-
quencc the court had decided to take no
| immediate action. All parties to the
case were instructed to appear III
court at 10 o'clock Thursday morn
| ing when a decision would be rendered.
The court ordered that, pending the
rendering of a final decision, 1T would
| take action on any of the side mo-
tions submitted to it. This puts quie-
tus on the motion of Attorney Clcland
who was representing the Illinois Sab
bath association, for temporary in
| junction restraining the directors from
| opening tomorrow, and which it had
| been entended to press on new grounds
had decision been rendered today
| against the government.
| AS soon as the court 5 announcement
| had been made it at once adjourned foI
| the day and the audience filed out. The
| Sunday closing advocates who were
present in large numbers evidenced by
the manner of the remarks that they
were exceedingly disappointed over The
| result, while the other side were CORES
pondinglv jubant. Arrangements have
been made by the Fair authorities for the

| and if the weather is favorable it is

Call Him Home, Quick (!

The bogus Minister to Portugal continues
to address to the Minneapolis Tribune
weekly letters describing his experience in
Italian cities and impressions Of Italian
life. The latest letter relates to Florence
and Venice. 1t is dated as IL from Lisbon.
but the date line is probably an audacious
fabrication. like that OF the letter OF the pre-
vious week. Until now We have not been
aware hat the Hon. GILBERT ALLARoUND
PIERCE got 30 far east as Venice in his
effort to reach Lisbon from Gibraltar.
Everybody wants to see Venice" he
writes. land our party was not an excep-
ton" We may hear OF him later In Athens
md Constantinople. but always in letters
purporting to rave been written and
mailed in Lisbon. where he Is paid to be.
The plain truth about this matter is that
Gen. HARRISON appointed Mr.. PIERCE as
Minister to Portugal for no other purpose
thar to enable that thick-skinned and il
literate old philosopher to make his first
visit to Europe under conditions gratifying
to P%IERCE's vanity and comforting to his
purse. Such an appointment. for such n
purpose. exhibits that same extraordinary
lack OF constituencies to the finer require
ments ofhonor, which unfortunately charac-
terized SO many Of Gen. HARBIsON's minor
performances while in Office. He wanted to
do PIERCE a personal favor. and so he sent
him abroad two months before the end OF
his term. and charged the travelling ex-
penses Of the beneficiary to the taxpayers
OF the United States. or course. no con-
siderations OF delicacy restrained PIERCE.
He jumped at the chance. and has used it
for all that it was worth.
The intellectual calibre Of the man who
has been %affording the country this ludi-
spectacle. is manifest in these letters which
he has been foolish enough to send to his
newspaper. The Minister TO Portugal can
not write the English language grammati-
cally. and his methods Of spelling easy
words are painful to contemplate. His OBJ
servations arc the commonplace Of pre-
t~entious ignorance.
There has neve. been a case OF diplomatic
junketing at the expense OF the United States
Government quite so consplcuouslv shame
less a this. The appointment of PIERCE
WAS a disgrace to the HARRISON Admins
tration. He will bring ridicule upon the
present Administration IL he is allowed to
draw salary and allowances from the Treas
ury any longer. His successor should be
appointed without delay: and his successor
should get to Lisbon by the shortest and
quickest practicable route. and put an end
to the scandal by packing PIERCE back to
Minneapolis by express. He cannot be
trusted to travel as a free agent.
