Authorities With Negligence.


The coroner's inquest to deter
mine the cause of the death of Off

But two witnesses were examined,
Officer Kaouli and Captain Larsen.

HEIRS GET THE LAND.

Decision by the supreme Count in TIL,
Famous Peter Dean Request Case.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 2.-The Supreme
court met at 10 o'clock this morning and
handed down decisions in the first cases
argued on the August calendar at its last
session. One of these involves valuable
lands near Superior and lots in Duluth.
The case is that of Allen VS.. Brooks, and
is an appeal from the circuit court Of
Douglas county. 1t appears that Peter
Dean OF Duluth died in January.
1884, leaving about 200 acres Of
land near the city of Superior
and number Of lots in the city
of Duluth After making requests to his
sister of 5000. he bequeathed to the
city of Superior this 200 acres of land
for public purposes and to the city OF
Duluth the lots for park purposes. He
left quite a number Of other heirs. The
property in question was at that time
worth about $4,000. The defendant pur,
chased the interests of the plaintiffs and
their brother in the land for $1,000 in
case he was successful in having declared
void the devise to the city of Superior
on the ground of there being no city OF
Superior at that time. The city was de-
feated in a suit soon after brought and
this suit is brought to set aside the con-
veyances on the ground of fraud. Judg
ment is affirmed by the Supreme court.

WANT SHORTER HOURS.
Question Brought Up at the Con
Vention of the international
typographical Union.

Louisville, Ky, Oct. S-The forty-sec-
ond annual convention Of the information
I'll Typographical union opened here III
$50 O'Clock this morning at Odd Fellows
hall. President w. b. Prescott of Indian
apolis called the convention to order DR..
L. &. Eaton opened the convention with
prayer. Mayor Taylor then delivered an
address of welcome to the visitors. Col.
Z. NJ. Kelly, editor Of the Commercial,
welcomed the typos on behalf of the
press, and ii. A. Boies, president of the
local typographical union, on behalf Of
the local printers.
President Prescott in his annual report
states that the membership Of the Organi-
zatiOn has increased during the past year
by over 1000, exclusively of 1000 German
speaking printers who affiliated i'll ac-
cordance with the agreement approved by
the plebecite Nearly every principal city
in the country is represented by the new
charters issued. Financially the union is
in excellent shape, the general fund con
tinulng to accumulate. Despite the pre-
Willing conditions the receipts have more
than equaled expenditures. Reference is
made to the failure Of the indianapolis
bank. II which the funds of the union were
deposited, and it is figured out that after
the final dividend has been declared the
union will sustain a net loss of about
$4,000. With the idea of reducing this
amount suit has been instituted against
the directors as Individuals The report
deals with the presSmen's imbrOgliO. with
the condition of the printers home ut
Colorado Springs and with the question
of shorter hours. On the latter the report
refers TO the defeat last year of the propO-
sition of making nine hours days work
and continues:
1t Is evident that the causes which go TO
make shorter hours such a necessity at this
time also serve to impart hope to the oppo-
sitiOn and should warn us that adequate
preparation is more necessary than ever.
In business where the profits are not
usually inOrdinate and In which the cost of
material and rent are such potent factors
in the cost Of production. it is futile TO
suppose that employers will make change
so long as there is seeming opportunity for
successful resistance. Therefore il will be
4 duty to formulate some plan for submits
sion to the membership which contains as
i prerequisite to the adoption Of shorter
work day.
The convention adjourned at noon IN
til Tuesday morning. This afternoon at
2:3O there will be Il street parade fol-
lowed by an entertainment provided for
the visitors at Music hail. Tomorrow the
work of the convention proper will begin.
but the election of officers will not come
up before Thursday.

PULLMAN MAKES ANSWER.
Denial that the Company is Doing an I'm
lawful Business.


Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. S--A plea was filed
today in the circuit court before Judge
Gibbons in behalf of the Pullman Palace
Car company III defense Of the quo war
ranto proceedings begun by Attorney
General Moloney. 1t denies the charge
that the company is exceeding its rights
in doing business not provided by its
charter The time allowed for filing this
plea expired today.
Mr.. Moloney said he would probably
make a demurrer to the plea if given
time to look it over and as the Pullman
counsel agreed to that and furnished a
copy, both sides consented to appear be-
fore Judge Gibbons and make their argu-
ments The court therefore adjourned
to await the readiness of lawyers.
The plea filed by the Pullman company
is a lengthy document and covers the
same ground as the information denying
most of the charges of the document.
It declares that the company is not hold
ing land nor stocks of any other cOrpo-
rations in violation of its charter and is
not transacting any business beyond its
corporate rights.
