RICHMOND Ind, July 2l.-Numerous
cases are now pending against the Rich
mond Street-railroad Company. which is in
the hands of a receiver. chiefly for claims
for work done and material furnished.
These claims amount TO several thousand
dollars, and the litigation is to decide
whether or not they are prior TO those of
the bondholders. Things took a decidedly
sensational turn to-day. Judge Henry e.
Fox. attorney for an intervening creditor
having just completed his brief soon TO be
filed. In this he charges the projectors of
the line with fraud. and says that from be-
ginning 10 end their ansactions have been
but a series Of frauds. He shows that
bonds were issued mortgages given and
money secured that should have gone TO
ut out the line. but instead went for the
personal benefit OF those securing it, The
capital stock, the brief says, was placed al
&l00W, and the projectors of the line sue
ceeded in raising $4,000 more. making i'm
all S53O,e9 which, he says, they pretended
10 use for a line that cost not more than
100000. This the brief says. is evidence
expended on the line. but went for other
purposes. In view of this the brief then
says that those to whom the line is indebt-
ed should have the preference over all
other creditors. Judge Fox says that the
case Is one of the worst examples of rail-
road wrecking that has ever come under
his notice.

of Strikers.

SCOTTDALE. Pa. July H.-While a
crowd of coke strikers were returning from
the mass meeting near Connelsville this
evening, some negro boys jeered at them.
The strikers Immediately broke from the
ranks and took after the boys and ran
them into the company store. Here the
men were met by a lot of deputies and
negroes, armed with Winchesters, who i'm
medately opened fire on the strikers. There
were about four hundred men in the ranks.
and they fed in all directions. with bullets
from the Winchesters whistling after them.
Two strikers are known TO have been shot
and dangerously wounded, and how many
more cannot be told at present. The names
of the wounded are not known. The affair
is causing great excitement in the neigh
borhOod. The operators claim they made
the best run to-day since the strike began,
and nearly LOCO cars of coke were sent out.
