BIG FAILURE AT RACINE.
The Racine Hardware Mandatory Makes
an Assignment.

RACINE, Wis, June 17.-One of the
most disastrous failures in the history
of Racine was recorded this after
noon when the well-known Racine
Hardware Manufacturing Company
made an assignment >to August G..
Frank. The liabilities are not known
at present, but they are estimated
at about 100000. The company is in
debted to the four banks in this city to
the extent of about $4,000. For the
past two years the company have been
paying their employees half in
cash and half orders on local merchants,
and in consequence the merchants here
are loaded down with the
firms paper. Last Thursday the
company was unable to pay their
employees. An appeal was made to
the banks for aid, but it was re-
fused and the only alternative
was for the company to assign. The
company has a paid-in capital of $780,
600 and employs 800 men. They manu-
facture all kinds of furniture, opera
chairs, steam yachts, etc. The officers
of the company are as follows: Presi-
dent, E. @. Durant; vice-president, 4.

FULLER SETTLES 1T.
Conclusive Decision Rendered-Fair viii Be
Open Sunday.

Conclusive Decision Ren6ered-Far viii Be
Open Sunday
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 17.-Chief Justice
Fuller, of the United States supreme
court, sitting in the United States court
of appeals, rendered decision in the
Worlds Fair case to-day which opens
the fair on Sunday. The government
made a motion to have the appeal dis
missed on the ground that the court of
appeals had no jurisdiction over case
in which the constitutionality of an act
of Congress had been disputed.
The decision handed down by Justice
Fuller first holds that the court of
appeals has Jurisdiction. The second
point decided was on the writ of injunc-
ton issued by the United States circuit
court to restrain the opening of the
fair on Sunday. The decision to-day
dissolves the writ of injunction. JUS
tees Bum and Allen, sitting with Chief
Justice Fuller, concurred in the opinion.
The attempt on the part of the gov
eminent to enforce Sunday closing fol-
lowed at once the vote of the Worlds
Fair directors on Tuesday, May %, de-
CluIuS IOT SoV0n-Uay 1dlf. On1U0O
States Attorney Milchrist was in Wash
ington and conferred with Attorney
General Olney. Returning, Mr.. Mil
christ filed bill for injunction on May
%, the suit being entitled "The United
States of America VS.. the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, II. n.
Higinbotham, d. III. Burnham, Ed
mund Rice, George r. Davis and
Horace Tucker" This is the >svit on
which the appeal was taken. Without
action the suit went over Sunday until
arguments could be herd. A decision
in favor of the complainants was
rendered by Judges Woods and Jenkins,
sitting on the circuit bench, while Judge
Grosscup dissented. Application for a
supersedeas, pending hearing on an ap-
peal, was made by the defendants, and
Chief Justice Fuller granted the order
last Saturday staying the effect of the
circuit court decision until an appeal
could be heard. This week Justices
Fuller, Bum and Allen have been hear
ing the appeal.
The decision means to certainty that
the Worlds Fair will be kept open on
Sunday and settles the case for all times,
as an apperl would have go to the SUI
preme court of the United Stated which
does not meet until October, when the
fair will be ended.

NO JURY AT WAUPACA.
Another Special vefire Will Probably Be
Necessary

Another Special Venire viii Probably Be
Necessary.
WAUPACA, Wis, June 1.-THE state
has exhausted eight and the
defendants forty-eight peremptory
challenges. At one time the
defense was apparently satisfied
with the jury, as it waived four per-
emptory challenges. The state then
struck Clough the only remaining man
left from the original panel of thirty
six. The fact that this man was not
struck long before by the defense
caused a suspicion that the de-
Tense might have some good rea-
son for retaining him, SO the
state struck him. There were less than
twenty of the 125 talesmen left, and the
present indications are that an
other venire will have to be
issued for another lot of talesmen. If
this is done q jury will not be secured
before Wednesday.
AS the jury stands now it is a
very fsir-looking one. 1t is COM
posed almost entirely of Germans
and Irishmen, Norwegians being ruled
out, it seems from the fact that the sher
if and deputy who have worked the
case up are Norwegians.
Nothing has developed as to the facts,
both sides still maintaining their conf
dence of victory.

DREXEL HOME SCANDAL.
funds MSapprOpriated and Two Trustees
Removed.


CHICAGO, H., June 1.-THE Inter
national Typographical Union to-day
decided to publish the report of the
secret investigations of the Childs-
Drexel Home as so much of the pro-
ceedings had already become known.
The investigation was conducted
by President Prescott of the Interna-
tional Union in person. As a result of
the investigation it was found it is said
that funds had been grossly misappro
priated, that the home had not been
built according to specifications and that
at present the building was in
such a condition that it is liza
bic to collapse. The investigation
committee found the board Of
trustees guilty of violation of trust
and censured especially, as responsible
for this condition of affairs, J. d. Waugh,
of Colorado Springs, and August Don
ath, of Washington. Upon legal advice
1t was decided not to prosecute but to
remove the two offending trustees. The
sum Of $500 was then appropriated to
put the home in proper condition.

FOREST FIRES ON THE MESABA.

One Town and Many Mining Camps Re-
ported to Be Wiped Out.
DULUTH, Mimi, June 18.-A veritable
panic has prevailed in a half dozen
towns on the Mesaba iron range to-day,
owing to forest fires. The high winds,
dense smoke and almost insufferable
heat have combined to give the
people such fright as they
never before experienced. The def
mite reports are meager as telegraph
wires are nearly all down, but it
is known that the town of Virginia, a
town OF 1000 inhabitants, the terminus
of the Duluth, Mesaba q Northern
Railroad, has been completely burned
and five hundred families are homeless
and without food So rapid was the
spread of the flames that men are said to
have completely lost their heads, while
stricken women and children added to
the general panic. A special train sent
from here will bring 900 of the homeless
people to Duluth earl in the morning.
There were many mining camps en-
plOying a large number of men IN the
neighborhood Of Virginia and they were
undoubtedly burned. Among these
were the Mountain Iron, New England,
Rouchleau, Lone Jack and Poca mines.
All these camps had large storehouses.
1t is feared some Of the men may have
persisted. 1t is difficult to estimate the
total loss, but if the reports be true as to
the extent of the destruction at the vari
Gus towns mentioned, it will amount to
over ST 000 600
