STOCKHOLDERS DISAGREE.
A Lively Time at n Meeting Held Last
Night.

There was a meeting Of the stockholders
OF the Peoples Transportation Company
last evening at Grand Army Hall. The
company is composed OF several hundred
shareholders in this city, Norfolk, Va,
Portsmouth. Va, Newport News. Va, and
other points. being organized last Decem-
Der. Recently there was considerable dis
satisfaction expressed concerning the man
agement Of the company and the DISPOSE
ton Of its funds. and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate matters and report
to the meeting. 1t was expected that this
report would be made last evening, and
some two hundred or more Of the stock
holders were present when President Pat
terson called the meeting to order.
After prayer had been offered by the
Rev. Mr.. Lee, President Patterson explain
ed that on the 24th of last month there had
been filed in the custom house at George
town bill Of sale Of the steamer Lady of
the Lake to the company. The price agreed
upon vas 10000, and OF that amount VS.
OOO had been paid, leaving a balance of
$22,OOO. which balance bore interest. and
must be paid within q year from the 24th
Of last month. The boat was now being
run regularly by the company between here
and Norfolk, and the line was doing an
excellent business. Mr.. Patterson declared
that there was not the slightest ground for
fault-tinding, and explained that the board
of directors had thrown open the books OF
the company to the investigating commit
tee, but that the committee had not been
able to find out anything.
The Rev. Mr.. Lee remarked that he be-
lieved only God Almighty himself could
understand the books. The remark was
greeted with shouts Of laughter and ap-
plause, and then commenced a scene OF
confusion, which continued without inter-
ruption for about two hours. One faction.
which seemed to be led by Mr.. NJ. Wilson.
criticised the president and board Of direc-
tors of the company numerically, intimat-
ing that the affairs Of the company were in
anything but a satisfactory condition. and
asserting that they were endeavortng to
keep the stockholders In ignorance Of the
facts. Points of order. privileged questions
and motions of various kinds came SO thick
and fast that finally 1t became necessary
for the presiding officer to appoint a ser
geant-at-arms to restore order.
Mr.. Ferdinand Lee of Norfolk stated that
he had a report of the investigating COM
mittee. and wished to read 1t, but finally
decided not to do so then. At length a
motion was carried calling for a meeting Of
the stockholders in this city next Monday
evening, when the investigating committee
will be asked to make its report
That was satisfactory to everybody. and
had the effect of inducing many who were
holding back to step UP and pay their as

THE UNIFORMED RANK.
Gen. Carnahan Speaks Of the Good
Results of the Encampment.


Maj. Gen. James A. Canadian. comman-
der-in-chief of the Uniform Rank Knights
of Pythias, believes that the encampment
at Washington of his army has done that
organization much good. both from phys
ical and educational standpoints. The loca-
ton Of the camp gave the soldiers Of the
lily an opportunity to see the sights at the
capital of their country. and this tended to-
ward an increase Of their patriotism. They
had the chance Of seeing many of the cell
ebrated men Of the day. and OF going
through the government buildings, work.
shops. museums and libraries. Then, the
camp was in a. strange city, where exist
many differences in social forms and cere-
monies. with which people from distant
sections of the land were not familiar This
was all In the line Of an education for the
men. Camp life also added to the knightly
knowledge. and camp discipline did much
good to their physical being. The camp
was conducted on military lines as nearly
as the circumstances would permit. Neces-
sarily In camps Of this kind there must be
picnic flavor. A great many visitors
must be received, and curious sightseers
must wander through the streets and peer
into the tents. The sale Of privileges and
the trading Of itinerant merchants and
fakfrs seem almost to be Indispensable in a
camp of this kind. 1t is, the general thinks,
a homely feature, but, Notwithstanding this,
II contains some good But. over and above
the outing and excursion element, the camp
was a success The biennial recurrence Of
it tends to keep up the high order of train
ing in the Uniform Rank In more ways
than one. 1t brings divisions Of the knights
together from distant parts and stimulates
competition and healthful rivalry. Thus,
when the men return to their respective
homes they feel impelled to work onward
and upward in the ways of the knight
The encampment stimulates drill to such
an extent that the effect Of the tonic does
not wear down till the preparations for the
next encampment are about to begin. I'VE

THE HOUSTON TRAGEDY.

Investigation Shows it to be the Sequel
of the Famous Fort Bend Feud.
Houston (Tex.), Feb. 20.-An investi-
CATION this morning into the facts of last
nights tragedy shows it was the sequel
of the famous Fort Bend feud, known as
the jay bird and woodpecker quarrel.
James r. Mitchell, the quadruple MUIR
derer, was the central figure in that affair.
Milton Sparks and D. l. Sutton. Consta-
bles of Eagle Lake, were in the city as at
tached witnesses in the Fort Bend muir
der case, and Mrs. Sparks accompanied
her husband. This engendered bad
blood, and last night Mitchell, who was
waiting for his father and brother from
Richmond at the Grand Central depot,
espied Sutton.
He opened fire, which was promptly
retur.. ed. Sutton falling after the firing
of the second shot, but Mitchell kept up
his murderous fusillade until he fired six
shots. The result was, in addition to
Sutton being killed, Milton Sparks shot
to DEATH Dan Gleason. an omnibus
driver, also lies dead; Mrs. Sparks, wife
of the murdered man, badly wounded, as
was also the child she carried; the brother
of Sparks mortally wounded, and Mrs.
Mcdowell, all aged lady, received one of
the bullets, and her chances OF recovery
are slim.
Mitchell said to a reporter after his ar
rest: 81 shot Sutton for interfering in
family affairs, and [ hope to hell | killed
him. We had a previous difficulty and
he sent me word that he would kill me. /
am an attached witness, and l believe l
was simply attached to get me here to kill
me- as L was notified that Sutton and a
crowd of six or eight had formed plot
TO Iii n St
the Sparks. I shot to kill Sutton and
Sutton shot to kill me. When l saw him
he had his hand on his pistol, and l said
to him, we will just settle cur trouble
right here We then went to shooting.
His shots passed my head. Those killed
back of me Sutton killed. l killed those
near him."
1t is pretty evident that Sutton killed
Gleason, while Mitchell killed Sutton,
Milton Sparks and the baby, mortally
wounded Sparks brother and shot Mrs.
Mcdowell.

Not Expected That He VIII Escape
Going to Prison.
BROOKLYN. Feb. 20.-An order granted
by Judge Cullon does not give much sat
isfaction to John Y. McKane's friends, or
inspire expectations that he can be kept
from going to Sing Sing this week. The
order requires the prosecution to show
why certificates of doubt should not be
granted to McKane. 1t is not believed
that McKane's lawyers can show that
Judge Bartlett made any blunders dur
ing the trial or in his charge to the jury.
If the Judge decides the application adj
versely at once, McKane will he sent to
the State prson.
Al the Raymond-street jail tonight,
Mckane was said to be very Ill. The
family doctor visited the jail and decided
that his illness was not dangerous. Nc
Kane has been in consultation with Law
yer Broderick all day, and the worriment
over his troubles is beginning to show.
1t is known that McKane takes his con-
tinement hard, and has not been in his
usual robust condition of late. He has
been a sufferer from Brights disease for
sometime past, and it is said the ailment
was aggravated by the worry and sus-
pense of the past six weeks.

THE ANGELS CAMP OUTRAGE.
Four Austrians Arrested Charged with
the Crime.

IOuf Arrested Will
the Crime.
ANGELS CAMP, Feb. 20.-Deputy Sheriff
Ben DeCamp last night arrested four
Austrians and charged them with the
crime of blowing up the Austrian board
ing-house owned by Magud yesterday
morning. Their names are Antoine Baco-
vich (Magud's brotber-in-law), Lazar
Tucip, T. Bangor and John Tarac.
Suspicion rests mainly on Bacovich,
who, il is said, on several occasions has
threatened to kill the whole Magud fam
lily.
1t seems to be the custom with this
class when holding grudge against one
another to resort to giant powder as a
means of revenge. 1t is not year ago
that house in this town containing eight
men was blown up under the same cir
cumstances.
The escape of Magud and family from
instant death was due to the fact that
their sleeping-room was out OF the direct
line of the concusSion.
Magud is improving. The child, which
was found in a barrel of wine in the cell
lar was stunned, and will not suffer Sc
rious injury.
Several panes Of glass were knocked
out in the adjoining house, belonging to
Superintendent Tom Lane, and the neigh
boring houses were badly shaken and
more or less damaged.

Threatened a Riot.
BosToN. Feb. 2O.-Five thousand of the
unemployed made demonstration on
the Common this afternoon which threat
ened a riot, The crowd was in ugly
mood, and rushed into the State House
and adjoining ground, and demanded I'M
mediate aid.
The Governor addressed them from the
State House. He was received with ap-
plause, though he made no promises.
The attempt was then made by leader
to get a petition before the Legislature
then in session. a large force OF pollce
was called out to guard against the
trouble.
The leaders tried TO get into the legisla-
tive hall To present their grievances,
while the crowd remained outside Nj. L.
Swift, an anarchist, and spokesman OF
the mob, appeared at the balcony and an
nounced the Legislature had refused to
accept the petition.
The crowd broke into yells of derlslOn
and contempt.
Then Swift launched into a TRADE of
abuse Of the Legislature. His threat to
clean out the State House was received
with shouts of appreciation. A large
number OF policemen soon gathered on
the scene, and Swift was forced to stop
his talk and matters quieted down.
Meanwhile the House of Representa-
tives had remained in session, and upon
the advice of some members considered
the petition of the mob. 1t was decided
to appoint committee of seven to meet to
representatives of the unemployed to
consider ways and means for relief
Speaker Meyer sent a message to the
crowd apprising them of this decision,
and it appeased them greatly.
a special detachment of police then ar
rived at the side entrance to the State
House. They entered and began forcing
the mob slowly toward the big front
doors. Clubs were drawn, and the dis
gruntled crowd gave way. Then there
was an uproar, and many desperate mem
bers urged an attack upon the Legisla-
ture, but those more sensible prevailed
and the crowd slowly retreated. The
police forced them steadily back. but just
outside the gate the disappointed work
men refused to move further. Finally
the Captains of the various police divi-
sions held hurried consultation and de-
cided to drive them still further back.

con street, and finally halted in the

another stand, and the men slowly dis

Runor That the Southern Pacific VIII
Not Honor San Diego Tickets.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The Southern Pa
cifc has taken action which. while evil
IDENTIFY leveled at the Atchison, is difficult
for railroad men TO understand. 1t has
no line into San Diego, and has issued a
circular saying that hereafter it will not
honor San Diego tickets over Southern
California, because of the s. arbitrary rate
demanded. 1t virtually amounts to re-
fusal to handle San Diego business on
anv terms. There is something behind
this move, but railroad men here say they
don't know what it is.
It was reported to-day that the Cana
dian Pacific had decided to accept the T.
ner-cent transcontinental business Of
tered by the Western Passenger Associa-
ton in lieu OF differentials claimed on
bnsiness between Victoria and San L kran-
cisco by the water route. Whethe4 the
Canadian Pacific accepts or declines will
make little difference now, as the tro ible
between the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison is likely to upset the trans
continental business generally.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE WHITE.
The New Member VIII Take His Sea

The New Member VIII Take His Seat
on March 9Th.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Justice White,
the new member of the United States
Supreme Court, will be sworn in OH
March 9th. that being the first day of the
spring term. He will at once be called
upon to take part in the consideration of
more important litigation than has
greeted new Justice in many years.
For many weeks the court has been anx
iously awaiting a full bench, and in the
meantime important cases have been
fixed for holding at such time as the new
Justice should take his place on the
bench. These cases were finally set for
March 9Th, in the hope that a nomination
and confirmation might be made by that
time.
By the records of the Supreme Court
the accession of Justice White leaves
New York State without a representative
in court for the first time since 1906, the
only exception since the court was es-
tablished. The exact succession from
New York is as follows: John Jay
(Chief Justic), 17S9-l794 Brackholst
Livingstone, lSI6-1S23; Smith Thompson,
IS23-IS43; Samuel Nelson, 1845-1S72;
Ward Hunt, 1S72-1SS2; Samuel Blatch-
ford, 1SS2-lS93.
sj
preme Court are especially gratitied at
the choice of Justice White. He has been
much among them, and there were hopes
expressed as far back as the rejection of
Hornblower that the Louisiana Senator
would be chosen. This was due mainly
to the fact that the court had lacked an
authority on civil law embraced in the
,Justinian Code and the latter Napoleonic
Code. All the States in the Union except
Louisiana founded their laws on English
common laws, but Louisiana founded
her system on the Napoleonic Code,
which came from the Roman civil law.
When the late Justice Bradley was on
the bench he made study OF civil laws.
and spent much time in Louisiana for
that purpose. He became an authority
in the court on such questions, but since
his death all the Justices have been COM
mon law lawyers. Justice White now
comes equipped with experience at the
bar and on the bench OF Louisiana under
their Civil Code.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Several repre-
sentatives of fishing interests from the
Pacific Coast were before the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
to-day to make statements regarding the
bill introduced by Hermann of Oregon
for the protection of salmon and other fish
in the streams and tide waters of Alaska.
The bill makes it unlawful to catch fish

vices now in use. Among those who
took part were r. D. Hume, Charles

Some gentlemen accused the others of
desiring legislation which would protect
only their methods of fishing, and there
was a lively discussion between outside
parties.
