gO's Lnke-Street Elevated Railway.
CHICAGO, April S.-WiIliam Ziegler, of
New York, a heavy stakeholder and until
recently one of the directors of the Lake
street elevated railroad, of this city, has
made application in the federal court for
the appointment Of a receiver for the road.
He charges the present board of directors
with attempting to wreck the road, and al
leges that the parties behind the directors,
and who own a majority of the stock of the
road, are identical with the management
of the West Chicago street-railway, con-
trolled by Charles T. Yerkes, and that the
recent conduct of the board of directors
has been subservient to the dictates of the
allie ged influence behind the board. John j.
Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank, is alleged to be the per-
sGhai fepIesen.attS 81 ra,.rSaa inieresus,
jority of the stock of the elevated road.
Since the control of the road passed into
Ziegler charges the latter with having given
its rights to an extension on Lake street,
from Market street to Wabash avenue. to
pcration, he AYERS, is controlled by the West
Chicago Street-railroad Company. Several
cIares the interests of the elevated road
nave been set aside by the directors, and he
is frauduiently endeavoring to scale Town
the bonds, and is representing the company
as inSOlVent. An injunction is asked re-
straining the directors of the road from
carrying out the deals in which Mr.. Zieg-
Ter claims the interests of the company
have not been properly protected.
Lord Rosebery n Stockholders.
PENSACOLA, Fla, April S.-The South
ern Land and Timber Company, an En-
glish corporation, with headquarters in this
city and offices in New York and London,
has been placed in the hands of receivers
by Judge Don Pardee, of the United States
Circuit Court. The company is perhaps the
largest lumber concern in the South, oper-
ating in this country four large mills hav-
ing a daily capacity of half a million feet
of lumber and owning expensive tracts of
timber lands in this and the adjoining coun-
ty of Baldwin in the State of Alabama. The
capital stock is sS25 600, all owned in Eng
land, Lord Rosebery, England's Prime
Minister, being, it is said, one of the stock
holders. The bonded Indebtedness is placed
at about $S25, 900, all of the bonds being held
by parties in this county, the majority be-
ing for the original purchases of the proper
ty. The company defaulted in payment of
interest on the bonds, and after a thorough
fled that the fixed charges for running ex-
penses in this country and England were
too great, and they applied TO Judge Pardee
for the appointment of receivers. The re-
ceivers appointed are: Mr.. Clarence Carey,
an attorney, of New York, and Messrs. w.
r. Mccormick and Edgar Lamont, of Louis
vile.

WASHINGTON. April s.-United States
Consulgeneral DeKay, at Berlin, says in

There is a demand for good. sound American
apples in Germany, but no supply. This
srises from the fact that hitherto large
fruit buyers have been unable to secure
trustworthy firms in the United States on
whom they could rely to furnish them
with fresh fruit of a given grade at all
seasons. Either no fruit at all can be had
Or shippers send over halfrotten, unassorted
stuff. The. fault lies in America. The fruit
growers should pack carefully the kinds
of apples that remain solid many months
and firms should keep themselves posted

nections. Apples at retail bring a very

PENSION Decisions.
WASHINGTON, April S.-Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds, of the Interior Department,
has recently rendered several pension de-
cisions Of more or less interest. In sus-
faining the decision of the Commissioner of
Pensions in the case of Hannah Chaplin,
widow of Samuel Chaplin. who claimed
enlistment in the Sixtieth Indiana volun-
1eers, he held that the que stion whether
a man is enlisted rests with the War De-
partment, and where the War Department
shows that soldier was not enlisted it
Is final; also that an offer of enlistment
by a soldier must be completed by it's ac-
ceptance by the government. In the case
graf, of Illinois, the Secretary afirms the
decision of the Commissioner rejecting her
claim for a pension under the act of 1890
on the ground that she had an income con-
Eiderably in excess of the pension allowed
widows.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt introduced
the local veto bill for public houses. He said
the bill provided that a poll should be
taken on the request of a tenth of the num-
Der of parochial electors. Prohibitory reso-
lutions would be carried by a majority of
January ensuing, upon the expiration of a
year from the date of the poll. After three
years the prohibitory resolution might be
repealed by a simple majority instead of
the two-thirds. The bill did not provide
compensation, but provided a time limit
when licenses were extinguished. He point
ed out that in the United States the ques-
ton of compensation received no attention,
license being simply refused. The same
system, he added, prevailed in Sweden and
Norway. Moreover. no compensation was
given when Sunday closing of the public
houses was introduced.

this opinion is that all federal taxes,
