THE PULLMAN FARCE.

Quo Warranto Proceedings Dragging
YEARLY Along.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The quo warranto
proceedings instituted by Attorney Cen
eral Moloney against the Pullman Pal
ace Car company and which now
threaten to degenerate into farce,
are again claiming the attention Of
Judge Gibbons. So far the court has
not granted leave to the attorney gen.
eral to commence the suit and yet the
arguments that have been made pro
and con on this issue would fill several
paper books. The attorney general has
now filed demurrer to the original
answer Of the company and in which it
denied that it had exceeded it's charter
limitations, and insisted that even
the whisky retailed at the Pullman
hotel was sold at a loss. The attor-
ney general contends that this answer
is no answer at all. and that on the
company's own showing it ought to be
proceeded against. No matter what the
judges decision may be the side de-.
feated will take the matter to the SUI
preme court and it will be at least six
months before it will be finally settled
whether the attorney general is right
and can go ahead, or whether he must
abandon his contemplated proceedings.

Harbor Owing to a
Dense Fog.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Afierce gale ragged
along the British coast Saturday and
Sunday. causing many casualties. The
wind was SO strong and the sea so high
that the channel boats were greatly de-
layed. The Warner lightship, while
being towed from Spithead to her sta
ton, broke away from the tug boat
when near New Haven and was driven
shorewards. A boat was lowered to
replace the towline, but heavy sea
capsized it and four Of its occupants
were drowned. The lightship made
leeway rapidly and was soon driven
ashore. The loss to the owners OF fishing
vessels is Large, many Of their boats
having been destroyed. At Sunder-
land, a life brigadesman, who had VOL
unteered to assist in the rescue OF the
crew of bark which had been driven
ashore near there, tripped upon rope
which had been suddenly tautened by
the pressure of the onlookers upon it,
and fell into the sea and was drowned.

of theatre in Sunderland was blown
into the street and killed. Much dam
age was done inland by the storm.

SUING FOR INTEREST.

Iowa Omoials Wants County Treasurer
4''@' to Disgorge. '''~'
Sioux CITY, Oct. 22.-Three suits were
begun here by the county against ex-
Treasurer w. A. Kifer to recover $780,
900 on each of three official bonds,
which he gave during his term as coun-
ty treasurer. It is claimed that he was
in the habit Of drawing interest on the
funds in his hands and appropriating it
to his own use, also that he kept all
the fees paid into his Office for himself.
He is entitled under the statute, it is
alleged, to only 81, 500 Of these fees, all
the rest going to the county. Kifer's
bondsmen are made co-defendants with
him. No decision has ever been made
in this state relative to the right Of the
county treasurer to retain interest on
public money in his hands, and great
interest is consequently felt in the out
come of the suit.
