War clouds hung over the Rivel
View Hotel yesterday evening. and
for a while it looked like q clash OF
arms was inevitable, but late in the
evening the clouds rolled by and the
little band of gallant freemen dispersed
and went their way peacefully and
in good order.
The cause of the trouble was a con-
tention for possession of the River
View Hotel. This property has been
in the hands of receiver for some
time. Last Saturday by order of
court the receiver sold the furniture
and furnishings of the hotel at public
veudue. This was bid in by Judge
Albert who, with l.. +. klostermann,
f. W. Pott and All. Mintou held a
chattcl mortgage OH it Tor a sum in
the ncighborhood of two thousand
dollars Mr.. Albert, as we understand,
bid in the outfit TO save the securities
from loss and with the understanding
that he could place il charge mcn
whom the mortgages had selected to
carry on the hotel business. The re-
cciver was ordered TO sell the furni-
ture and furnishings and then turn
the keys of the hotel building Owe TO
Col. Van Frank, the owner. This
the receiver did or attempted 10 do
but Judge Albert claimed by virtue
of having purchased the furniture that
he had possession of tue hotel and he
refused TO surrender. The different

with Signor Brin, the minister of for

King Humbert. Signor Brin took
occasion to congratulate Mr..
Potter On the felicitous
relations between Italy and America
and the happy settlement of all diff
cu ties that had formerly existed. The
subject cf immigration restrictions
was not touched, the interview being
of formal and jntrodn tory character,

about the measures already taken

Nav Enter a Protest,

NEW TvhA, Dec. 5O.--The Herald
says: Has Archbishop Corrigan been
snubRed by Mgr. Satolli in the settle
ment of the case of Rev. DIR. McGlynn?
There are many persons in this arch
diocese who think the air of mystery
preserved regarding the terms on which
DIR. McGlynn was absolved OF
accommodation contains an insult
to Archbishop Corrigan. Mgr. Sa-
tolli did not take the trouble
to notify Archbishop Corrigan, it is
said, of the restoration Of DIR. McGlynn
into the fold of the church, as was
evinced by the latter's statement to the
public on last Saturday. Failure to
observe this formality by Mgr. Satolli
Is said to be looked upon as snub. 1t
Is stated that there will be q meeting
before the week is out of a number Of
the most influential Catholic laymen in
this diocese, in which they will discuss
the advisability Of entering n protest
against Mgr. Satolli's action in the mat
tar.

FATAL sMAsHuP IN CHICAGO
Locomotive collldes With Heavily Loaded
Street Car

CHICAGO, Dec. 80 -Four persons were
killed and twice that number were in.
jured this morning by the collision Of 3
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne passenger
train with heavily loaded street car
at the junction of Forty-scventh street
and Stewart avenue, yesterday.
The engineer of the train and the
two watchmen at the crossing are un.
der arrest, pending an investigation OF
the accident.
The list of victims is as follows. The
dead:
GEORGE B. LAIiA, Fifty-sixth anc
Loomis streets.
Unknown man found under the tender
Of the engine.
Unknown man found near the body oj
the first victim under the tender OF the
engine.
The injured:
MINNIE KUSLEA, scalp and otherwise in
jured
PATRICK O'NEILL, right leg broken.
HENRY GRuBER, scalp wounds and in
ternally injured.
HELEN CONWAY, internally injured.
JOHN BREsRER, left leg broken.
j. j. COSTELLO, severe body injuries.
THOMAS RIoRDAN, left leg broken.
The accident happened at 8:i5 o'clock
when the street car traffic was at its
height, and the cars were crowded to
the doorways. AS the car approached
the Fort Wayne tracks an engine came
backing down at the rate of about fif.
teen miles an hour. The occupants OF
the engine cab did not see the car APP
preaching the crossing and on account
of the heavy coating of frost on the
windows of the car the passengers did
not see the engine bearing down upon
them.
In IN instant the engine struck the
car and dragged it distance of about
$50 yards. At every foot OF the dis
tance some injury was added to those
inflicted when the engine first struck
the car.
As fast as the iajurcd could be us
sisted out of the wreckage they were
removed in patrol wagons TO Mercy

Mrs. Carson died on the way and her
destination was changed To the county
morguc.
Fireman Meager of the train that
did the damage and Conductor O'Con-
ncr and Driver Stanley, of the street
car. were also arrested.
Engineer Grosscup, after his arrest,
gave all the information he could re-
garding the accident. As he neared
the crossing he heard the fireman say
"slow up" but he was not able to do
so within the short distance. His en-
gine, he thought, was run
ming about fifteen miles an
hour when the accident occurred.
John Albright, one of the crossing
guards arrested, is the same watchman
whose carelessness at the same place
several months ago resulted in SIM
liar accident and the death of two per-
sons and the injury of Others
