A LAND COMPANY IN TROUBLE.
It's Lands Lie Around Hartman, But
the Town Not Afeoted

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 20.-In the
United States circuit court here this
morning, before Judge Key, an application
was made for the appointment of n re-
ceiver for the East Tennessee Land Com
pany, of Hartman, the complainants
being A. w. Wagnals, l.. s. Freeman and
Charles l.. Lee, of New York, James b.
Hobbs, of Chicago, and Ferdinand Schu-
mac, of Ohio. Judge Key appointed as
receivers, A. A. Hopkins Of Hartman,
and w. III. Russell, Of Chattanooga.
These receivers are welI-known
business men, and win ham
die the properties of the corpo-
ration TO the best advantage This re-
ceivership is in the interest of the bond
holders and stockholders of the company,
and was rendered necessary by the long
continued financial depression. It's inn
mediate cause was threatened action in q
state court by certain adverse interests,
and by an attachment proceeding begun
in New York.
The assets Of the corporation, consist
ing mainly of lands, are estimated as now
worth about 81 ,250,0 000 although under
ordinary conditions probably worth twice
that sum. The liabilities of the corpora
tion, including its bonded and preferred
stock debt are stated at about 81 500, 900.
HARTMAN NOT INVOLVED.
The East Tennessee Land Company
were the founders of Hartman, the tenn
perance town, and that successful new
town is not involved, the company only
owning few lots. Hartman is now q
substantial city, in no way dependent
upon the land company, and while it has
suffered considerably during the financial
stress its geographical and railroad loca-
tion and its coal and iron surroundings
are such as to assure its ultimate
growth into a large manufacturing
city. The location of the state
mines adjacent to Hartman, which is
now quite certain, together with the
prospects for the completion of the Ten
nessee Central railroad to Nashville,
make the future prospects of Hartman
brighter than they have ever been. 10 is
understood now that the receivership be-
ing an economical and friendly one, an at
tempt will be made TO reorganize the
company upon safe basis for the future,
after all the debts Of the corporation
shall have been paid.

HAYES TAKES IT ALL BACK.
His Charges Against POWdGTly and
Wright Not Sustained.

The Only Accusation That He De-
clines to Retract is the One That
Wright Did Not Attend to His Duties
Properly-Hayes to Be ousted as
Secretary and a New One
Chosen-The Position Pays 80, 900
Per Year.
Philadelphia, Nov. 20.-The Powderly-
Hayes fight in the general assembly OF
the Knights of Labor reached a climax
this afternoon when the venerable secre-
tary-treasurer openly withdrew his
charges of malfeasance in office against
the general master workman and his coll
leagues on the executive board, A. w.
Wright and John Devlin. The general
assembly will, tomorrow, after consider
alton of the finance committees report,
which will be presented in the morning.
declare the office of secretary-treasurer
vacant and vindicste the accused OIL
cials.
CAUSE OF THE BACK-DowN.
While a vindication of Messrs. Pow.
derly, Wright and Devlin was expected.
1t was not thought that Secretary Hayes
would so completely abandon his case.
His withdrawal was the result of the
hhduCo CuHliHlbbtt lhlllug TO sustain the
charges, and it was primarily brought
about by Delegate Hugh Greenan, of New
York Mr.. Greenan arose in the conven-
tion this afternoon and asked this ques-
tion: MIR Hayes, when / return TO my
constituents shall l tell them that every
cent belonging to the order has been ac-
counted for, or shall / inform them that
your charges have been sustained2"
Secretary Hayes replied "You can tell
them that | withdraw my charges. The
only charge l will not withdraw, is that
A. W. Wright did not properly attend to
his duties"
RECEIVED WITH APPLAUSE.
This outcome created great surprise,
and there was loud applause by the
friends of Mr.. Powderly, who declare
that the remaining charge against MIR.
Wright is trivial and has no connection
with the orders finances. The amount
involved in Secretary Hayes accusations
was about 81 900, and it is said the finance
committees report will show that the
order is indebted to John Devlin in the sum
Of $500 undrawn salary.
THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY.
The Office of secretary treasurer paws
1000 per year and the assembly will, to-
morrow, after ousting John W. Hayes,
elect his successor. The strongest candi-
dates for the position are General Worthy
Foreman Hugh Canaugh, of Cincinnati,
and John O'Keefe, of Philadelphia. It is
probable that contest between these
two win result in the selection of a dark
horse.

self as saying that be knew the barracks
and station house had not been delivered
up at the time; that he did not care for
that, for twenty-five well armed men
could have run the whole crowd.

pledge to the committee of safety
HAwAu's COMMISSIONER CRITICISED.
He criticises a statement made by
the Hawaiian commissioner to Secretary
Foster and says, did the spirit of an
neXation mislead Uhem2 Ifnot, what ma
hgnant influence tempted President Dole
TO a contrary statement in his cited let
ter to the American minister
Says Mr. BlOunt:
The leaders OF the revolutionary movement
would not have undertaken II. but for Minis
ter Stevens promise to protect them from
any danger from the government. But for
THIS their mass meeting would not have been
held But for this no request to land the
troops would have been made. Had the
troops not been landed no measure for the
organization OF a new government would have
been taken. The American minister and the
revolutionary leaders had determined an an
upon the part each was to act to the very
end"
In concluding this report, for the re-
mainder is made up entirely of statistical
matter and a disquisition on the trade
of the islands and the character of the
population, Mr.. Blount says:
That deep wrong has been done the queen
and the native race by an American Otiicial
pervades the native mind and tnat of the
queen, as well as a hope for redress from the
United States, there can be no doubt. In
this connection 1t is important 10 note the
inability of the Hawaiian people to cope
with any great power, and the recognition
Of it by non-resistance to their encroach-
ments. The suddenness of the lending of the
United States troops, the reading OF the
proclamation of the provisional government
almost in their presence. and the quick recog-
milton by Minister Stevens, easily prepared
her for the suggestion that the President had
no knowledge OF these occurrences, and must
know Of and approve or disapprove of what
had occurred at q future time. This
too, must have contributed to her disposi-
tion to accept the suggestions OF Judge Wide
man and Mr. Damon. Indeed who could
have supposed that the circumstances sur
rounding her could have been fOreseen and
sanctioned deliberately by the President Of
the United States? Her information and the
prevailing sentiment among the natives point
to her belief, as well as theirs, that the spirit
of justice on the part of the President wonld
restore her crown.

SAILING OF THE NIorHERox.
Brazil's New Cruiser Passes Out and
Anchors on the LiEhtshfp.

New York, Nov 20-The Brazilian
cruiser Nictheroy, formerly the El Cid,
flying the Brazilian flag, and having the
American ensign at her foretop, passed
out at Sandy Hook at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning, bound for Brazil. She ex-
changed signals with the signal observer
at Sandy Hook as she passed. She an
chored three miles south OF Scotland
lightship. This morning about o'clock
the tug William Caldin, while coming up
the bay, signalled small craft
adrift near the Buttermilk channel be-
low Governors Island. The tug went
along side and found it to be the torpedo
boat Yarrow, which had broken away
from its moorings'during the night. The
tug took the Yarrow in tow and went to
the Atlantic dock, where orders were
given by Flint Il Co., TO tow her down to
Gravesend bay. This probably is the
reason the Nictheroy anchored outside
the bay at Scotland lightshp.
The vessel was still at her anchorage
at nightfall All the afternoon she was
practicing with her dynamite guns, firing
only dummy shells. Capt. Zalinkski was
on board, and was drilling the gun crew.
He will be taken off by tug before the
Nictheroy sails. The Nictheroy will go
to Pernambuco, Bahia, or elsewhere, as
may be deemed advisable when she
reaches the Brazilian coast
The America will sail Wednesday
morning for ST. Lumas. The Nictheroy
will not wait for her
The Destroyer, it is announced, win be
ready TO sail for Brazil tomorrow. She
will be towed from the port by a large
tug. When in command the DESTROYER
Will carry about twenty men.

STRIKE OF THE LEH1aH MEN.
The Freight Blockade All Along the
Line Complete.


Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 2O-The freight
blockade on the Buffalo section Of the
Lehigh Valley road is complete. The
promise Of the officials to move the usual
trains to-day was not even partially full
filled.
The Lehigh Valley yards, bounded by
Giggens street, Bailey avenue, William
street and the city line, are crowded by
long avenues of freight trains, all ready
to move, but they are without engines
and crews.
OF the thirteen yard engines, only two
are working, and one of these did not get
TO work until late in the afternoon, and il
is manned by n green crew.
Eighty-four freight trains bound east
and thirtYseven bound west are stalled
in the Buffalo yard-l2l blocked trains
in all.
TIED Up AT wILKEsBARRE.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 20. Freight
traffic on the Wyoming division of the
Lehigh Valley road is tied up as tight as
drum, and the few passenger trains,
which are allowed to run on account of
the mails, have to crawl along from
point TO point, and don't attempt
to follow tho schedule Even these may
be abandoned at any time, although the
strikers say that they will not interfere
If the company secures non-uniOn men to
run the mails. The mail trains are mostly
made up of mail and baggage cars, while
on some car or two of perishable freight
is coupled on and sent TO its des-
tination. The men are conducting them
selves admirably. In obedience to their
instructions they keep from the railroad
station and hardly striker can be seen
about the place. A platoon Of police is on
duty at the Union depot, but they have
nothing to do except to disperse the small
boys who gather there and hoot the few
trains that go by.
GIVEN A CHANCE TO RETURN.
Bethlehem, Pa, Nov. 20.-The Lehigh
valley officials have sent out notices to
all the strikers that the places of those
who don't return TO work early to-mor-
row morning will be filed, and after that
all old employees who apply for work, will
be treated as new men.
