SEQUEL OF THE KNOX FIRE
A Suit for Damages fr Goods Placed in
Storage.
Negligence Alleged On the Part of the
Firm and EmplOyes-Detnils
of the Suit.

Today the first Of the expected suits
against the firm Of Geo. w. Knox, arising
out of the destruction by fire last month of
the firms store rooms, was filed by Harry
T. Guss. Mr.. Guss alleges that the firm,
consisting of VIM. s., Geo. V. and John o.
Knox and Mary Krox Van Arsdale. held
themselves out to the public as keeping a
safe and secure warehouse for the storage
of goods and chattels. undertaking to safely
and securely keep the same. He then goes
on to state that, relying upon such in
ducements, ne delivered to the firm on the
29th Of last June sundry articles of house
hold furniture, silverware, clothing, music,
surgical instruments. personal papers and
manuscripts of the value of 5000.
Mr. Guss states that he paid the storage
charges in advance, and asserts that upon
receiving the goods and the charges there
on, Ii became and was the duty of the
defendants to take due and proper care of
the said goods, to safely and securely keep
them and deliver them to the plaintiff upon
his request.
All that MIR. Grss alleges the firm
failed to do. he states. On the contrary,
he declares that the defendants and their
agents and employees so negligently and
carelessly behaved and conducted them
selves with respect to the goods, and took
so little and such bad care respecting the
warehouse in which the goods were stored
that the building and its contents were de-
stroyed by the said fire.
Mr.. Guss claims that the defendants
neglected to observe and carry out the usual
precautions against fire in stabling a large
number of horses in the building in stor.
ing hay and ether combustible and infiam-
mable materials therein. in allowing a Ger.
tain wagon with motor or vessel contain
ing gasoline or some other dangerous and
infiammable fluid to be brought into the
building and in permitting unknown per-
sons to have access to and come within the
building at late hours Of the night.
Mr.. Guss states that the defendants have
refused and still refuse to pay him for the
goods he lost or for any part of them. He
therefore claims damages IN the sum OF
$1,000, with interest thereon from the date
of the fire-July "a last.

Conditions at Pullman.
CHICAGO. August 2O.-Gov. Altgeld went
to Pullman today to investigate the cendi-
ton of the Pullman strikers. His visit was
the result Of a communication sent to him
from the strikers, stating that LEGO families
are near to starvation. The governor, pre-
vious to his visit. refused to say what ac-
ton he would take, but 1t was generally
believed by the strikers that they would re-
ceive immediate assistance.
Vice President Wickes Of the Pullman
company called upon Gov. Altgeld at the
latters office and offered to accompany the
executive on his trip to Pullman. The gov
error received Mr.. Wickes very coldly and
in a manner which was construed as a dt-
rect snub Informed the latter that he did
not wish to go with him.
II prefer to go alone" said the governor
II think l can find my way about the
town."
Mr.. Wickes departed. apparently highly
indignant.

Mr.. Williams took the above a. a
post norton examination made by DIR
Rowat on fine pointer which recently
died from the malady. 1t is found that
no authority on dogs says anything
about the parasi e, .fldriu immitis wa =
ranting the as,umpti m that the disea e
is OF rare occurrence, which is, however
erroneous. 1t has been met with in
Europe, more particularly in Denmark
and Italy. occas onaly in the United
States and Brazil aud quite frequently
in China and Japan.
The disease is contracted from drink
ing water, and to be transmitted from
one animal tn another must have an in
termediary host. Manson gives the
mosquito credit ior this work, but the
flea and mite, which are responsible in
II great measure for the PRONUNCIATION of
the tape worm. may also be partly to
blame.
The symptoms of the disease are var
liable, and the malady is difficult to an
ticipate on first appearance. The owner
first observes that his pet dog is not well.
but shortly feels that the ailment has
passed away as the animal seems to get
fat.
This is soon followed by marked
anaemia, and if the animal fingers for
few weeks dropsy OF the abdomen and
emaciation set in. During this period
the appetite is usually good and con-
tinues voracious.
The disease has heretofore baffled
treatment, but recently intratracheal
and intravenous medication has been
resorted to with much hope OF success.
In China and Japan the disease has
been considered incurable, and if pres
ent experiments here prove successful it
will be "a great blessing to the sporting
community.

CLEvELAND's LETTER.
Some Caustic Comment by Democratic
Congr, semen.

WASHINGTON, August 90. The few
Senators at the Capitol today refused tc
express any opinion for publication on
the letter OF Cleveland to Catchings. The
Democratic Senator'S said they had moth
ing to say, but they seemed to feel that
it was aimed at them. The Republicans
said there seemed to be no necessity at
present for them to get into the fight in
the ranks OF their opponents and they
would not be quote ed regarding it. Mem
beers OF the House were not as reticent as
the Senators were.
Representative Sperry (D) of Con
necticut, who opposed the Wilson bill
said: 81 was in hopes the President
would spare his party the inAiction of
another letter. The Tariff bill is dis
! tinctly party measure, and according
to the Presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson,
it is measure permeated with per-
iidity and dishonor. II that is correct
description OF the bill, | do not see on
what ground the Democratic party can
ask to be continued in power. 1t
seems by the second letter that the
tariff fight must be continued. This
position must be disqueting to all the
business interests OF the whole country.
The Democrats this fall are placed on
the defensive by these two letters
first, in defending a oliry of perfidy
and dishonor, and second, by threat
ening all the business interests of the
country with further attempts at tariff
legislation.
Every campaign speaker this fall is
compelled to defend his party against
the allegations contained in these two
letters, or else to defend the Presi-
dent against the allegati ms in the letters
themselves. My own opinion OF the bill
is that there is no per6dy or dishonor in
the bill itself or in the motives OF Sem
ators instrumental in its passage. 1t is
a more mature and equitable measure
than the Wilson bill, and will produce
revenue which the Wilson bill profess
sedly would not, and that is what a
tariff bill is for. 1t is to be hoped that
the President will not write any more
campaign documents for the Republican
party pending the coming election"
Representative Johns of Ohio said:
The effect of his failure to sign the bill
a d writing letter will be to intensity
and continue the fight against protection
not protection as he puts it, but Demo-
cratic protection"
Representative Warner Cd of New
York said: "The Presidents letter will
meet with unqualified approval from all
true friends Of revenue reform, and
especially on the party policy there out
lined and the program of aggressive
action, first against trusts and then in
favor OF free raw materials and in favor
OF every other Democratic principle, to
reach the fulfilment OF which tariff COM
bination must first be broken"
