TO RESTRAIN HILL.
Object Sought to Be Obtained
by a Suit Of Thomas w.
PearSall.
JUST A FRIENDLY ACTION
To Determine What Are the
Legal Rights OF the Great
Northern.

ST. PAUL, Aug. &c There has been
fled in the United States circuit court
bill in equity by Thomas ". Pear.
sail Of New York against the. Great
Northern Railway cor.pauy. A copy
of the bill was served Oh Colonel w.
p. Clough, vice pres...eni Of the Great
Northern, at the same time.
While the nomiuaj purpose of the
suit thus entered is to prevent the con-
summation OF the proposed scheme o.
cooperation between the Great North
ern and Nurthern Pacific, it is not
thought that the suit is brought
with what might be called malicious
intent.
Not 1Ialioiously Intended.
The officers of the Great Northern
have been expecting such suit to be-
gun in New York or ST. Paul for some
time. It 10 said that the action is
rather welcomed than deprecated by
them, as It viii bring toAa speedy "ser-
tlemeut all the legal questions involved
in the plan proposed, and that is some
thing of which all the parties in inter.
est are extremely deslrous.
The bill charges that the Great
Northern abI the holders of majority
of several classes of outstanding bonds
secured by .he second, third and con-
solida:ed mortgages Of the Northern
Pacific Rail-cad company have entered
into ali arrangement or agreement to
effect a consolidation, and it describes
at length >tfe method proposed.
The relief aought is that the Great
Northern 81 all be restrained from en-
tering into ind carrying out such ar
rangement or agreement. The COM
plainant, NJ. Pearsall. makes this COM
plant as q e.ockholder in the Great
Northern, alleging that ne las been
for more than one year past the owner
of more tina. 900 fully pad ur shares,
the shares being for $luy each. The
theory of the bill is that he,
as such stockholder, and others
similarly situated, will be injured,
so far Us the value of their stock is con-
cerned, by the proposed arraE cement.
The complainant has also served mo.
ton papers for an injunction pendin z

be heard Wednesday, Aug rs.
Davis, Kellogg & Severance and John

regard to the announcement of his in
tention to move resolution in the
house of lords early next session to
abolish the Office of lord lieutenant of
Ireland, and in place of that official, to
appoint chief under secretary for Ire.
land and to pray the queen to establish
a royal residence in that country. He
said he believed such action would
forge closer the links binding the two
countries, and would give an immense
impetus to the development Of the
natural resources of the country and
encourage tourists to visit Ireland.
There is good reason to believe that
the suggestion will receive favorable
consideration III royal circles, and it is
understood that the ministry is not op-
posed to the change, as the Office Of
lord lieutenant Of Ireland is an ex-
pensive one and often difficult to fill.
Regarding the opposition to es-
tablishing royal residence in
Ireland the impression prevails
that the ministers and others
would prefer to see a royal
residence IN the south or west of Ire
land, where it would be likely to do
more good than in Dublin, which, it is
added, might be visited several times
yearly by members of the royal family.
Should the change take place, it is pro-
posed to convert Dublin castle into a
museum.

Says He Intends to Show the
Champion That He Is in
His Class.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 5.-The pro-
posed -Fitzsimmons fight remains
the topic of discussion among sporting
men here. Manager Brady said tonight
that he was perfectly satisfied with the
arrangements made by the Dallas people,
and that his man would be in the ring fit
and ready on the day to be fixed later III
October by the Dallas people. An Asso-
ciated Press reporter called on Fitzsim-
mons at his residence tonight. In re-
Spouse to a number of questions he said:
81 feel perfectly satisfied that the con-
test will take place at Dallas, as the bust
ness men, through their representative,
seem to be on the level.
"There must have been some remarks
questioning my sincerity in the affair and
some persons have been unkind enough to
say will weaken. l can assure you and
the public as well that l am just as ready
to meet Corbett as | would be to meet an
inferior in the ring. Corbett, believe,
has said l was not in his class, but if
Charley Mitchell was, then | certainly
must be, and l cannot see where I could
possibly be left out. Depend upon my
word, Mr.. Corbett has a big contract on
his hands, and when he meets me he will
tackle better man than he has ever met
before.
'Give me fair, trustworthy referee and
1 have no doubt that L shall prove myself
the better man. 1t is just possible that l
may weigh twenty pounds lighter than
Corbett, but can easily make up for that
and our relative weights may be 1853 and
1s7."
DALLAS, Tex, June SIN sporting
circles the opinion is generally expressed
that Co1bett will do the bulk of his train

to Dallas from a dollar-and-cent stand
point than the entire agricultural product
of the county for 1894. An amphitheater
will be built with a seating capacity of So

great Chicago wigwam for the Democratic
convention for 1892, but fully one-fourth
larger and roofess."
