The "Clover Leaf" Railway Goes Into

CLEVELAND. O., May 20 Judge
Kicks, of the United States federal
court, has appointed Samuel r. Gallo
way receiver of the Toledo, st. Louis &
Kansas City railway, known as the
Glover Leaf line This action was
taken at the instance of Stout &
Cory, of New York, who have an UNI
satisfied judgment for $4,000 against
the road. In their bill the plaintiffs set
forth that large amount of unsecui ed
claims are pending against the de-
PENDANTS in the states of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, aggregating in all near
ly $1,000, 900. Suits, they say, have
been begun on many of these claims
and others are about to be instituted,
and the road is insolvent and unable to
meet them. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll,
general counsel for the company, who
was present, consented To the APP
pointment on behalf of the company,
and application was at once made
before Judge Woods. of the United
States circuit court at Chicago, for a
similar appointment for Indiana and

Forrest Macready and the elder Booth
were the chief opponents He learned

stage manager of the Chestnut street the
alter in Philadelphia. and IN the follow
ing year temporarily withdrew from the stage
TO lecture on Shakespeare and to teach elocu-
tion. The attraction Of the stage, however,
proved too much for him, and in 1915
he returned 10 the drama, beginning
an engagement at the Park theater in
New York as Hamle., and afterward
making a tour Of the United States
and Canada. In $50 he went 10 England, where
he scored a success at the Haymarket theater
but in 1857 he again abandoned the stage
and settled on farm near Lebanon. O.
During the war of the rebellion he nursed

readings for the benefit OF the United States
sanitary commission and became volunteer

within two years he was professor Of elocution
at the Cincinnati College of Music
Murdoch's best efforts were in the line Of
genteel comedy and juvenile tragedy; his
Romeo, Charles Surface and Don Felix in
THE Wonder" had many admirers. But
while his acting was always praised by the
critic he was never notably successful as a
star possibly because he disdained the
methods by which so many actors have risen to
notoriety. Mr.. Murdoch was a writer as well
as an actor, having published works on the cul-
ture OF the voice ard dramatic art which have
been accepted as text books throughout the

Damages In Pittsburgh and Vicinity Esti-
mated at 100000.

PrTsBURGH, Pa, May %. Pittsburgh
and vicinity was visited by the most
violent hailstorm ever known here Sat
urday afternoon. The effect was most
disastrous to life and property. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires were pros
trated in every direction; electric and
cable cars were stopped by broken wires
or debris choking the conduits and
traffic was suspended for long time.
In the east end of Pitts burgh and upper
wards of Allegheny City nearly
every window glass on the south
sides of the buildings were
shattered, while all over both
cities slxylights, greenhouses, private
and park Conservatives were shat
tered and foliage ruined. In the
Phipps conservatory in Schenley park
over 1900 lights of glass were broken.
At the opera house and Bijou theater
serious panics were narrowly averted
and several women tainted from fright.
The singing pelting of the hail
caused a number of serious accidents
by frenzied horses Twenty horses,
some of them valuable, are known to
have been killed in Pittsburgh, either
by collision or becoming entangled in
electric wires. One valuable team at
tached To a carriage standing in front
of the Monongshela house plunged
into the Monongahela river and was
drowned.

4 BIG CLAM MINE.
Thousands of the Bivaives Stored at thu.
Mouth Of Delaware Rav.

1outn OF delaware Hay.
A clam mine. full of live clans. and
of great breadth and depth, has been
discovered at the mouth of the Della
ware bay, off the Fishing creek shore.
This has proved a valuable find, and
recently about one hundred boats, con-
tanning from three to five men each,
were at work on the mine, says the
TER ton Free American. The product
of tie great bed is shipped daily to
Chicago, a speculator of that city
agreeing to take the entire output of
the mine at about thirty cents per hum
dred delivered at BENEFITS station, on
the West Jersey railroad. There has
recently been a corner in the clam
market, and choice articles have been
sold at as high as one dollar per hun
bred to restaurant keepers.
The pocket of CLANS covers wide
area just beyond the low-water mark.
and, consequently. all who wish to
may dredge without fear or favor. It
was discovered some days ago by VIII
liam Harper, of Green Creek, who
found dozens of prime CLANS imbedded
deeply in small cake Of ice washed
ashore close by Highland and Airing
ton bea ches. Marking the spot care
fully he waited until the ice was en-
tirely out of the bay. and then taking
boat he patrolled the bayside from
end 10 end until he located the mine
For e day or so his liberal finds at
tracted no attention. but one by one
the idle fishermen and farmers rowed
out to the mine and helped themselves.
The find being located beyond the low
water mark the mine is public proper
ty, and is being worked for all it will
bear.
The other day over fifty thousand
clans started on their journey west
from Benefits station. The bags
were piled SO high as to almost hide the
station house.
Every now and then a discovery
something like this is made. but the
present mine exceeds any previous find
known on the Atlantic Goa st. About
three years are required for clans to
grow properly and attain a marketable
size and flavor. This bed is said by ex.
perts TO be about three years old.

THE GEARY LAW.


The Cabinet Concludes That Congress
Must Act Before 1t Can he Enforced.
WASHINGTON, May 20. Fridays cabi-
net meeting determined the policy of
the administration on the Chinese ques-
ton. The session lasted for two hours
and half and all the possibilities were
discussed. 1t was finally decided that
the president could not execute the
Geary law. The conclusion was reached
after the consideration of statement
presented by the secretary of the treas
ury as to the resources furnished b.
congress- The lack of resources was
made most painfully evident by the
statements of the attorney general and
Mr.. Carlisle and the result will be
that the Geary law will not be put into
operation until congress provides the
means therefor
