Judge Kicks Declines TO Interfere with TIL
Order of "a Railroad Receiver.


Order of "a Railroad Receiver
TOLEDO, Jan. pa committee representing
500 men employed by the Toledo. ST. Louis
and Kansas City Railroad fled an application
some time ago in the United States Court at
Toledo. whore foreclosure proceedings against
the railroad are now pending. asking the Court
to set aside an order made by the receiver re-
ducing wages. Judge Kicks required tho re-
ceiver. Mr. S. Il Galloway. to answer. lie did
so. saying that the reduction was necessary
because OF great decrease In the earnings VI
the road In his opinion Judge Kicks fully
recognized the right OF the employees to petit
ton the Court to remedy grievances which
and commends them for seeking peaceable
settlement of their complaints.
The Court recites the general depression ex-
listing throughout the country, and the fact
that almost every railroad and man ufactur-
ing establishment has found IL necessary to
reduce wages. as tending to sustain the as
sertion OF the receiver that the earnings OF his
road are decreased to such an extent as to make
this reduction necessary. Tho court further
says that II the reduction was u mere matter
OF personal preference or sympathy. neither
the Court nor the receiver would reduce the
wages. but would maintain them at the high
est point possible and consistent with their
duties to the trust imposed: but in this case
they owe u duty to the creditors as well AS to
the employees For these reasons the Court
declines to investigate the action OF the re-
ceiver.

NOBODY HURT.
But it Was an Exciting Runaway All the
Same.

One of Seeley's hacks broke down near
the Public Library, on Congress street yes
terday. The wheel came off letting the
vehicle down on the axle on one side. The
horse was frightened and ran up the street.
the hack making great noise as it bumped
along. In front of Foss's drug store stood
the.horse of George F. Thurston, which had
been leftthere by Mr.. Porter while he went
inside for prescription. hitch weight
was attached to Mr.. Thurston's horse, and
when the animal, alarmed at the clatter
of the hack started to run away, he took
the weight with him. Turning into State
street he ran into a tree and smashed the
wagon to pieces. Then, with one sha it and
the hitch weight still hanging to him, the
horse ran through Deering street at rapid
pace. He was badly bruised before he was
stopped. The hack came near colliding
with two horse cars, but finally car driver
stopped the horse. 1t was an exciting
affair and attracted great crowd of people.
