Some time ago Mrs. McGuffin, wife of ex-
Councilman McGufiin, filed suit Tor d.
vorce in the Superior Court, and McGuffin
filed a counter claim. The court refused to
grant either one The apparent cause for
the trouble, as was claimed by Mrs. Nc
Guffin, rested in the fact that McGuffin was
paying some attention to Mrs. Amanda Lo-
gan, who then resided at No. III West
Ohio street. Several days after the trial
Mrs. McGuffin went to the above number
and threw bricks through the screen doors
and otherwise created much excitement.
She was arrested but was afterwards dis
charged. Mrs. Logan moved after that 10
South Tennessee street, near Georgia
street. Last night McGuffin went 10 the
house, and was followed by his wife. She
remained on the outside for some time
watching the two through an unprotected
window, until detected by Mrs. Logan, who
left the house and asked Mrs. McGuiiia
what was her reason for being where she
was. Mrs. McGuffin replied that she was
waiting for her husband. Angry word
passed between the two, when, as Mrs. Nc
Curtin claims, Mrs. Logan sprang upon ner

their intention OF taking through Northern

oLNEY,s INSTRUCTIONS.
Mail Trains with Pullmans Attached
Must Not BE stopped.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The South
ern Pacific company notified United States
District Attorney Carter that owing to the
Pullman boycott, IL was unable to send out
the United States mails Carter telegraphed
to Attorney-general Olney. and, in reply, the
answer came: Enforce the laws prohibit
ing the obstruction and delay of United
States mails. Cause the arrest and insti-
tute proceedings wherever the laws are
violated" Shortly afterward Mr.. Carter
sent a second dispatch to Washington ask
ing whether the Attorney-generalS in
structions applied to mail cars only Or to
mail trains regularly made up. The an
swer TO this was: instructions cover mail
trains as regularly made up and of all de-
scriptions." United States Marshal Long
has taken steps to enforce this ruling.
May BE Prosecuted for Conspiracy.
LOS ANGELES. Cal, June 29.-District
Attorney Dennis has received number Of
telegraphic orders from Attorney general
Olney instructing him to take all possible
measures to expedite the mails. The men
have declared that they are perfectly will
ing to haul the mail cars alone and two OF
them were switched on TO the main track.
The Santa Fe company then changed it's
mind and the orders sending the cars out
were countermanded. The attitude Of the
1eueral government, as understood mere,
puts sensational aspect upon the case.
as according to United States District At
torney Denniss instructions, the strikers
will be arrested and prosecuted as con-
spirators under directions from Attorney
general Olney, unless they go to work at
once. If there is an attempt to arrest the
men it is possible that they will resist.
Two switchmen-McHugh and Coldstock-
were asked to confer with Dennis. They
stated that any mail trains would be hauled;
that a crew had been ready for twenty-four
hours. but that the company refused to
haul the mail cars unless it had a Pullman
attached. Because OF this the union had
decided to change its position. Just before
receiving his Instructions from Mr.. Olney,
Mr.. Dennis had prepared dispatch to that
official, in which he stated that the request
of the railway company for him to prose-
cute the strikers as conspirators was a
practical impossibility, and gave it as his
opinion that the statute did not apply to
existing conditions.

NO STRIKE AT OMAHA.
Debs's Order Disregarded by the Lo-
cal Union.

OMAHA, Neb., June 29.-President Debs
of the American Railway Union, wired
Secretary Noble, of the local union, to
strike to-day at noon. An answer was re-
turned to the effect that the local situation
is such that it is deemed highly impracti-
cable and ill-advised to precipitate strike
here, and that positively no hope existed
for the successful carrying out of a boy
colt, as the local union consisted entirely
OF men not in the train service. The effects
of the strike were not apparent at the pas
senger depot at this city, or at the Coun-
trains were coming and going usual on
time and with their customary complement
of Pullman cars.

COURTS TO BE ASKED TO INyESTI-

Dissatisfied Members Intimate There
Is Something Wrong with the
Secretary-Treasurer Books.

PHILADELPHIA. June 29.-The bitter
ness that has pervaded the ranks of
the Knights Of Labor ever since
the meeting of the General As
sembly in this city last November, found
expression at a meeting held here at which
steps were taken looking toward a thor
ough overhauling by the courts of the
books of General Secretary-treasurer John
w. Hayes. The meeting adopted an appeal
to the order. which says:
Among the reasons which have impelled
the sgners TO the course which they have
taken are the following: Because in
sequence of being engaged in outside
schemes the general officers are neglecting
the duties which they were elected TO per-
form and for which they are paid out or
the funds of the order; because proof of
this negligence is shown in the establish
ment of a gas plant at Euphrata. at cap
italization of $4,000 among the mcorpora-
tors being Thomas r. Mcclure and Jacob
@. Schonforber; because proof Is further
shown in dispatch received from Hast
the gas plant and nine miles OF main, the
property of that town, had been purchased
by John w. Hayes, Thomas b Mcclure
and Jacob Schonforber for the sum OF
500. goo: because we have learned through
reliable source that a Judgment note for
the sum of Sc, 200 has been given by the
present general officers against the prop
erty of the order at No. S14 North Broad
street, Philadelphia; because we believe
the IulQS Oh dTC D6lflB illegally
expended; because an impenetrable veil OF
secrecy has been drawn over the general
treasury OF the order, the general sec
retary-treasurer has failed to comply with
the constitutional provision that instructS
him TO furnish quarterly to State, national,
trade and district assemblies an itemized
statement of all receipts and expenditures;
because plans have been laid by the pres
ent general officers by which they hope
to hold the salar:ed positions. elective and
appoIntive, in and under the General As
sembly. Therefore we are forced to resort
TO legal process and have decided TO enter
the courts 10 compel a financial accounting
that we believe will result in exposures
confirmatory of our gravest suspicious.
The appeal concludes with a request for
cooperation by all members. One of the
national assemblies in this State promised
$50 toward prosecution of the legal inves-
tigation if other assemblies will supply as
ing adopted resolutions cOndemning the
suspension of Messrs. Powderly, Quinn and
Wright as "a fragrant outrage and brutal
