RECEIVER ASKED FOR.
Litigation Over the Lake Shore
Railway.
The Northern Pacific Accused of
Scheming to Swamp the Leased
Line-A Peculiar Schedule.
Special to THE MoRSINe CALI

SEATTLE, March 24-Angus Macintosh,
Seattle banker, and Thomas Earle.
member of the Dominion Parliament aud
railroad contractor. both minority stock
holders in the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern Railroad, to-day flied in the Supe-
rior Court a petition for the appointment of
a receiver for tha' road and for an account
ing from the Northern Pacific, which
operates it. They allege that the Northern
Pacific has exceeded its powers by buying
the stock of the road; that the Lake Shore
has been operated in the interest of the
Northern Pacific sinee May, 1891, and that
on May %, 1891, an al eyed meeting of trus-
tees was held in New York, at which g. W.
Dickinson. assistant general superintendent
of the Northern Pacific, was put in charge.
A traffic contract with ths Northern Pacific
was made, by which the Lake Shore road
receives rates ranging from one-twentieth
TO one-half of those it received when
operated as an Independent road charging
arbitrary rates, and the number of trustees
was reduced from thirteen to five. They
say the road was earning a surplus until
this contract took effect and that it is not
credited with its share of the earnings.
In quoting from the reply ofthe Northern
Pacific directors to the investiga ting CON-
mittee they aim to show that the Lake Shore
is being saddled with a big floating debt,
while the Northern Pacific is credited with
its earnings. They quote the arbitraries
allowed the Seattle and Northern by the
Northern Pacific and TO the Seattle and
Montana by the Canadian Pacific to prove
this claim. They also claim that the North
ern Pacific has taken possession OF the
Lake Shore depot and terminal facilities in
this city, which are worth S2,OO0.0O has
removed the books of the company TO New
York so that the local stockholders cannot
get access 10 them, and has generally
ignored the minority.
They ask for an injunction to prevent the
exec uton OF the traffic contract and for the
appointment of a receiver to take charge of
the road during the pendency Of the pro-
ceedings.
Earle was one OF the contractors who built
the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern branch
TO the boundary, in part payment for which
he received 100000 in stock. Macintosh
was one Of the general subscribers TO the
stock. He holds S45, 400 Of the stock. He
is president of the Merchants National
Bank of Seattle
1t is probable that if a receiver is ap-
pointed a traffic contract will be made with
the Canadian Pacific under which tile
latter's trains would come into Seattle over
the road. according TO the plans of the first
projectors.

CLOSING THE BREAK.
Pile-DriVer at Work on Roberts
Island.
No Fear of Flood at Yuma, Though

Blessing to Stockmen.
Special to THE MoRSISa CALL

STOCKTON, March "a The pie-driver
commenced working in the break in the
Roberts Island levee to-day, and will be run
day and night till the crevasse is closed
The men in charge say that they will have
the break closed by Sunday night, and TINS
save some Of the crops and prevent the
flooding of the lower division of the island,
which con tains 10000 acres of fine grain and
fruJ land
The water is falling in all the streams,
and no further trouble is feared The news
came from New Hope tonight that the
Mokelumne River has fallen twelve inches,
and that that section is safe. There is no
break on the main land levee, and the break
in the Staten Island leves Is being closed
SANTA MARIA. March 24.-Fears were
entertained during the late storm for the
safety of the bridge across the Santa Maria
River. The storm, however, did more dam
age to the land than to the trestle work, ami
unless efforts are made to keep the water in
the channel great loss will ensue to the set
tiers. The driving of piles down instead of
up stream was an engineering bluuder, and
is a loss 10 both the company and the land
owners.
SAN DIEGO, March 24-The Tia Juana
River was subsiding to-day, though three
houses in the lower valley were surrounded
and undermined by the water aud were eX-
pected to collapse at any moment. The
scene presented is desolate in the extreme
Thousands of dollars worth of property has
been destroyed, and. what Is worse, several
ranches are so covered with sand and debris
that they can never be reclaimed. Though
the direct loss from the heavy rains is small
compared with the immense good they have
done. the losers about Tia Juana and Otay
fail to see matters in that light, and express
themselves as opposed to such summary irri-
cation. The Tia Juana River is still run
ming too high to cross with safety. The
Otay is again confined within her banks,
after flooding the Otay bottoms and playing
havoc generally.
YUMA, Ariz., March 24-Tha heavy rain
fall during the week throughout Arizona
has been a godsend to the livestock men
and farmers All the streams and arrOyos
ara running bank full. The Gila River in
the upper valley has risen nine feet, while
the Salt River is reported TO have risen
seven feet and to be still rising The Colorado
rose Two feet ana to-day has risen at the
rate of an inch an hour. There are no fears
of n food or overflow. although the Colo
rado bids fair 10 be a big river for five
N onths to come.
SoYOMA, March 24-The storm Of the
last two weeks was the longest and severest
that has ever been recorded in this valley
during the month OF March. The precipi-
tation for the storm was nearly six inches
and at times SOnoma Creek and its tribu-
taries were almost bank full. Aside from
putting the roads in a bad condition for
travelling and threatening the destruction
OF the county bridge at the foot of Broad
way, there is little damage to report.

WinSiow

WINsLow, Arjz., March 24-The trouble
between the officers and employees of the
Atlantic and Pacific has assumed a serious
form. Several employees whose services
were entirely satisfactory have been dis
charged, II Is thought on account of their
being implicated in the formation Of

The present trouble, however. was pre-
cipitated by the order compelling the COM

Element.
An armed force of sixty Mexicans are

trouble would ensue. as the citizens are
highly indignant over their presence.

Dangerous Lunatic.

Dangerous Lunatic.
last evening an insane man broke into the
residence of James Biggins, the well-known
horseman and stock-raiser, FIVE miles south

maniac was armed with q shovel and made
a vicious assault on Mr.. Bigglns, and at

Fortunately, Mr.. Bggins was the more
active of the two and succeeded iu lodging
the blows aimed at his head, and with the
assistance of an employe oyerpowered and

him over to Deputy Sheriff Sparks.
There being no lookup in Sonoma, the one

the room in an almost nude state and made
his way in the drenching rainstorm 10 the
residence of Otto Rufus, one mile east of

trance. The presence of a strange man in
the house greatly alarmed Mrs. Rufus and
the Misses Rufus, but, fortunately, Mr.. and
Mrs. Z. j. Mullen were guests at the house,
and the former overpowered the midnight
intruder and, dressing him in spare suit
of clothes, brought him into town and
turned him over TO the officer from whom
he had escaped.

WICKED SAM JONES.
Going About With a Gun to Kill a
Rival


NEW YORK, March PA Carterville [Ga.),
special says: A street fight is looked for
every day between the Rev. Sam Jones,
evangelist, and Rev. Mr.. Dobbs, Bap-
tist pastor. A feud OF many years. stand
ing has existed between the reverend gen.
tlemen. and it has been intensified by a
scandal, which eliminated in a church
trial last December, In which Rev. Mr..
Washburn, the Methodist pastor, was ac-
quilted.
Dobbs said he had been whitewashed. On
the occasion of the investigation there were
presented some unsigned letters which had
been sent to Jones' family, the authorship
of which was attributed to Wash6urn by
Dobbs, but In which charge Jones took no
stock. Lately Dobbs has renewed his crti-
cisms and this led TO n sermon by Jones last
Sunday, which has been the talk OF the
town.
Jones. after defying Dobbs, announced
the accusation against Washburn as
damnable lie." The preacher was loudly
cheered. 1t is denied by the preachers
themselves, but 1t is asserted by their
close friends that both carry pistols and are
ready for self-defense. The scandal has
extended to the churches Neither the
