MANY MINES SHUT DOWN.
Cleveland Men Take Steps Injurious to
Northern Michigan.

CLEVELAND, O., June 28.-The situa-
ton in Northern Michigan ore min
ing is in greatly depressed condition.
Mine after mine is shut down, and w.
q. Mather, president of the Cleveland
Cliffs Mining Company, all of whose
shafts and mines will be closed down
Friday night, says that the shipments
of ores down the lakes will be cur
tailed nearly so per cent. this
season. In the same range with the
Iron Cliffs Mines is the Champion,
which has decided to pull up it's pumps
and allow the mines to fill with water.
The stoppage of the pumps may be re-
garded as the final abandonment of the
Champion mine, as it will require six
months to year to draw the water out
of it when once filed. The Cham
pion has made fortunes in it's
day, having been one of the largest and
most profitable properties on the Upper
Peninsula. The Republic Iron Com
pany, of this city, has wired its super
intendent to shut down the Republic
mine for sixty days. 1t is known, how
ever, that operations will not be re-
sVmed until such time as the state of
the trade makes it advisable. These
mines employ thousands of men and
are practically the sole support of whole
towns in the Upper Peninsula Of Mich
igan, and a protracted cessation of work
is bound to result in widespread suffer-
ing.
REPUBLIC, Mich, June 2S.-All the
stores here have begun doing absolutely
cash business as the mine closes Friday
for an indefinite period. Two thousand
five hundred people are left without a
single supporting industry. Great hard

CASES IN THIN COURTS.
The Trotting Association
Stockholders Must Pay.
A RECEIVER APPOINTED !


Two important Shenandoah cases were dis.
posed of by the court at Pottsvlle yesterday,
By one of the decisions all who were stock
holders in the Shenandoah Trotting and
Athletic Association and did not pay up in
full for the shares must now do so to liquidate
the uusatisfed claims of Isaacher Robbins and
other creditors.
1t took Mr.. Robbins a long time to get
within hailing distance Of some assets of what
appeared to be a dead horse, but he appears
to have reached the point and stands a good
show to secure payment of his claim.
Mr.. Robbins first sued the Association aud
some people wondered why he should expend
money on law suit against dead animal, but
after securing Judgment, which was obtained
without objection, he set about securing
tht names of all who were stock holders in
the enterprise; then he sued these stockholders
and yesterday, Judge Bechtel handed down
the following decision:
"And now, December s, 1888 due proof of
service on the defendant aud stockholders
having been made and no denial of the alle-
| cations Of the bill having been made the
| defendant corporation is hereby adiudged
| insolvent and NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq, is appointed
receiver aud directed to enter security i'm the
sum of $1,000 for the faithful performance of
| his duties. And it is also directed that an
account be taken of the debts and assets of
! the corporation and the stockholders and
officers are directed to pay and account for so
much Of the assets and capital stock as are
necessary to pay the debts due to the credit
! ors; the assets thus collected and received to
be applied by the receiver in discharge of the
| debts"
The other decision was made in the case Of
P. j. Ferguson against the Crinnian Bros.
The suit arose over the sale Of furniture ard
other articles sold as the property Of the
Crinnians when they failed in business as
proprieiors of the Ferguson House. at the
corner of Main and Centre streets 1t was
brought by Mr., Ferguson as claimant of the
goods, but a verdict was rendered against
him. Yesterday the court handed down a

.THE JUSTICES CASES.
A Rush to the First Ward
Court.
MANY SUITS DISPOSED OF
one Man Is Set Upon by Four Others aud
is Obliged to Jump From "A Second story
window to Escape Them Stabbed with
"a Fork.

The First ward court has done more
business since last Saturday than in the same
period for several months past Justice
Toomey and Constable Giblin, the latter
bravely fighting an attack of grippe to
perform his official duties have had but little
rest day or night. The business started at
about p. m. on Saturday and the court did
not close until 3 a. m. Sunday. After brief
interval it was re.opened and the session ran
into the night, when it was again closed only
to be re.opened early yesterday morning to
receive bail and discharge prisoners.
The last pay day brought harvest for the
First Ward court and the reckoning ofdollars
and cents paid in as costs up to the present
writing for the past three days warrants the
belief that until the ltigants who patronize
the office suddenly reform Justice Toomey
and his Constable will soon have enough
wealth to make them independent of any
political office within the gift of the people.
SO say the observers.
Among the cases disposed Of yesterday was
one of Frank RomanofsSi against Joe Gre
bofsky and Anthony Butkofsky, charging
them with assault and attempting to kill him.
All the men board in one house. Without
any cause or provocltion, Romanofslli says,
the four men madea charge upon him. Ro-
manski got away by jumping out of a second
story window. The. defendants settled the
case by paying s. as damages and the costs.
Mike Widibus and Anthony Robeleiski
quarreled at their boarding house in the
First ward and had regular rough and
tumble fight. John Zelanus attempted tc
play the part Of a mutual friend and when
trying to separate the men Robelefski stabbed
him in the forehead with fork There
were two cases against Robelefski and he
settled them by paying the costs.
