MORE INVESTIGATING.
By me associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The steps
taken by Representative Blair of New
Hampshire TO secure a Congressional in
vestigation through the commissioner OF
labor of the general punishment by
Iynching OF colored men who are supposed
TO have outraged women, are stirring an
unexpected degree of interest. Since the
resolution was introduced great numbers
of communications on the subject
have come to Mr.. Blair, although
but 10 days have passed since the
matter was made public. Most of the
letters are from religious bodies and or
CARNATIONS of colored people. The
colored people, both North and South,
seem to be greatly interested in the propo-
sltion, and resolutions have come from
meetings held at New York, New Orleans
and many cities between those two. 1t is
not expected that the investigation will
be undertaken during this session OF
Congress, but probably will be begun
early next session, provided, of course,
that the House votes to have it under

has brought suit against his son as treas
urer Of the st. Louis Baseball Club and
James A. Noonan.

Ed did not happen TO have it, but
got IL for him from defendant

and Chris conveyed to him some OF the
IT. Louis avenue GROUND. Ed has since
paid the loan made by Noonan and the

SENSELESS SUITS.

By The Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Pullman COM
pany is not the only concern when Is 10
be brought into court for alleged violation
of the powers conferred upon IT by the
State OF Illinois. The quo warranto pro-
ceeding against the company oil whlch
George M Pullman is the guiding spirit,
is only the beginning OF a series OF SUITS
against interests, the aggregate import
ance OF which equals that OF the Pullman
Company, SO far as Chicago Is concerned
These interests are the building companies
of Chicago, which have for ten years been
engaged in race in erecting SKY
scraping structures. They are To be made
to show cause why they should not be
punished for alleged violation OF their
charters which in the cases OF the majority
provide for the building OF a safe deposit
vault or a structure devoted 10 the arts
and sciences. The announcement that
this is 10 be done is made by the people
close TO the attorney general and 1T Is
coupled with the statement that nine out
of ten OF the modern high buildings in
Chicago are erected in clear violation of
of the law.
No corporation, it is stated, is permitted
by the statutes of Illinois to engage in the
buying and selling of real estate or
the erection OF buildings for rent as a
business. To evade this provision, say an
eminent legal authority, the various cor
porations formed to erect buildings in
Chicago for office and store purposes have
taken out charters for the erection Of safe
deposit vaults or buildings devoted to the
arts or a theater. Having secured the
charter, the companies have proceeded to
establish q safety vault in the basement
and then cover IL with structure
all the way from eight to eight
cen stories in height. In some
instances, it is stated, the companies have
failed even to build the safety deposit
vaults, but have contented themselves
with constructing ordinary vaults in their
buildings sufficient to comply with the
law.
Some of the buildings are owned by as
sociations which have issued stocks aud
bonds. This is declared to be in viola
tion of the law as interpreted by the late
Chief Justice Scholfield of the Supreme
Court. In a decision rendered by him In
1883, he laid down the rule that no asso-
citation could exercise the power OF cor
poration.

a union chapel. The minister sent up
for his family, and there was
street named after him. The place was
full OF streets by this time, and each one
of tho first and second season strangers
had one called in his honor. There was
a regular craze for names as the result OF
this. Some one learned that the salt
water inlet whore the place was
situated bore the Indian name OF
Pawage. and all Arbuthnot gathered
i'm the union chapel and solemniy voted
TO change the name OF their village TO
Arbuthnot- on the Pawage. The next
wear there was rival hotel called the
Pawage Inn and the inhabitants watched
tho movements of the two proprietors in
trying TO out do each other in electric
bells and uniformed chamber maids,
until one established bar in
the basement and then for the first
time the natives asserted themselves and
said that things had gone too far, so the
beer was all sent back to town by the
Pawage man and the same evening the
Arbuthnot invited the minister TO give
temperance lecture in his hotel for the
benefit OF the whole village.
Other improvements followed in their
logical order. The younger male natives
acquired the necktie and cigarette habits,
the younger female natives learned the
fascination OF chewing gum and furnished
a good business for summer soda foun-
tain, the men stopped working hard and
dressed up evenings and the women all
kept boarders.
But Arbuthnot shook the place that he
had made and sought another quiet To-
cality where there was good cunning and
fishing and no society"

New York, Aug. 22.-Ground was
broken at the New York end of the
new Blackwells island bridge, which
is to furnish the Long Island railroad
an entrance into New York city. The
bridge will have a capacity of four
railroad tracks if need be, besides a
roadway and foot walks on either side.
The spans over both channels of the
river will each be S55 feet. The span
On the island will be G35 feet; between
the centers Of the two extreme piers
will be 1856 feet. 1t will reach square
ly across the river, touching the Long
Island shore at Ravenswood and form
ing junction With the Long Island
railroad at Sunnyside. midway between
Long Island City and Woodside. The
approaches on the Long Island side
will be by steel viaduct In order to
furnish a more direct route to Man.
haitian and Brighton Beach, cutoff
will probably be built connecting with
the Manhattan Beach division of the
Long Island road. 1t is calculated that
passengers from union station, at Third
avenue and Sixty-fourth street, New
York, can reach Manhattan Beach in
forty minutes without changing cars.
This is a reduction in time of more
than SO per cent. Most of the present
routes from here there have disagreea-
ble charges. When the New York and
New Jersey bridge is completed the
Long Island road will be able to tap
directly all the great roads centering in
New York,
