AN ENGINEERS OBLIGATIONS.
A Question Arising From n Strike
RrOuuht Before the Sunremc Court.

Brought Before the Supreme Court.
The Ann Arbor strike of 1898 and the
somewhat unusual incidents growing out of
it have been recalled by the filing of Pc
tition in the United States Supreme Court
by James Lennon for writ of certiorari,
requiring the circuit court of appeals for
the sixth circuit to certify his case to the
Supreme Court for review and determine
ton. Lennon was at the time of the strike
an engineer on the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railway, and quit work rather
North Michigan railroad to his train, in the
face of the fact that the United States cir
cult court for the northern district of Ohio
had previously issued an injunction against
the Lake Shore road and its employees re-
straining them from refusing to afford
proper facilities for exchange of traffic TO
the Ann Arbor road.
Lennon was arrested for contempt of
court. and upon trial before Judge Kicks
was found guilty. 1t was this decision on
the part of Judge Kicks which brought
upon him the enmity of the labor element
From this decision Lennon attempted to
appeal to the Supreme Court, but the ap-
peal was dismissed. He then applied to the
court of appeals, which sustained the judg-
ment of Judge Kicks. The question in
volved is, Lennon states it in his petit
ton, whether a court of equity has power
by injunction to compel a railroad engin-
Ger, whose employment is for no definite
time, and is paid for his services only for
the distance he has run his engine, to re-
main and continue his personal service,
when he has given notice to the railroad
company that he has left Its service.

NEAR TO BLOODSHED.
An Exciting Encounter Between
Arknnsas Politicians.

The spectacle of member of the Ar
kansas legislature, livid with rage, splitting
in the face of the governor of that COM
monwealth, who quickly returned the in
suit in the same manner, and a flourish of
firearms in the hands of the governor, was
witnessed in the lobby of Gleason's Hotel
at Little Rock, Ark, yesterday afternoon,
and was the result of the sensational
charges of bribery in connection with the
railroad commission bill sprung in the
house Of representatives Saturday by Mr.,
Yancey of Phillips county. Mr.. Jones of
Marion county arose to a point of personal
privilege, and denounced Gov. Clark as be-
ing at the bottom of the charges. He said
that Gov. Clark was a demagogue, and was
going around like assassin in the night
with a knife, stabbing IN the back men
who were his peers.
Yesterday afternoon Clark met Jones and
requested a private interview with him.
Jones replied that he would accompany the
governor nowhere, and that If the chief
executive had anything to say to him he
must make it known.
Hot words followed, and in a fit of rage
Jones spat in the governors face.
Gov. Clark, trembling with anger. re-
turned the insult. and as quick as flash
had drawn his revolver. and the difficulty
might have resulted in bloodshed but for
the quick action of bystanders. The gov
erHor was later arrested by constable,
and released on his own recognizance.

Harry st. John, Formerly of the Land
Office, n Victim of Jealousy.
Harry st. John, who was for six years
law clerk in the general land office, under
the Arthur and first Cleveland adninistra-
tons. shot and killed his wife at their
home near Oklahoma City last week.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon ST. John rush.

killed his wife at his suburban home, two
miles from that city. Physicians FASTENED
out to his residence and found her body,
pierced with pistol ball. st. John was in
court all the forenoon, and on his way
home some enc handed to him letter that
warned him that his wife was not faith
full, and he at ence became frenZied. He
went home, and, with pistol in his hand,
demanded that his wife explain to him the
matters mentioned in the letter. He says
that at this suncture the pistol was acct
dentally discharged. the ball going through
her breast. They We're alone in the house.
The letter referred to stated that young
man of Oklahoma City was alternating his
wife'S affection.
To a close friend ST. John said he had OBJ
tanned the letter from the post office in the
morning from his wife's private box, and
opened 1t. 1t was signed A. H. N, and
made arrangements for a meeting. He
brooded over the matter until dinner time,
and then, hiring conveyance, went out to
his home. Mrs. st. John was sitting sew
ing, and he berated her for her alleged in
fidelity. She at first denied ii. bat when
proofs We're shown her she became angry,
and, it. is said, acknowledged the fact.

When living in Washington st. John had
a large poultry ranch out beyond George

THE sALLIE DEAN MURDER.
Prices Dreams and Their Narration
Caused His Arrest.


Marshall Price, who has been arrested
charged with the murder of Sallie Dean,
the Caroline county, Maryland, school girl.
as already related in The Star, served on
the jury of inquest suggested the tramp
theory Of the murder and later began to
have dreams, in which the details Of the
murder We're clearly depicted, and these he
would relate. On Tuesday Of last week
Price accompanied detectives to the scene
Of the murder and remarked: Three
thousand people have searched these
grounds but it remains for me to find the
knife" He went near where the head OF
the murdered girl lay when found, and,
scratching under pine leaves and dirt, UNI
earthed large knife to which blood still
chung. He also found a bow made Of RIB
bon which the girl wore. Price, when part
ing with his young wife at the Jail, said:
Mary, I am charged with the murder OF
Sallie Dean, and the evidence is very much
against me. ! know they will hang me.
but / am an innocent man."
While on the train being taken to Bal
timore he told the police that he had some
thing Of Importance to tell them, but he
would not divulge 1t until he reached Balu-
more and saw Marshal Frey. Price kept
his word, and told Marshal Frey a story
of the crime in which he charged that
U. Grant Corkran had committed the muir
der and that he had witnessed it. Accord
ing to Prices statement, Corkran killed the
girl, and he was only witness to the
.
throat was cut with a razor that Corkran
borrowed from him, but a razor could hard
ly MAKE such cut was found on the
collar Of the girls dress. and which pene-
trated her throat and nearly severed her
head from her body. Price says that Cork
ran struck the girl with stone and then
cut her throat with a razor. 1t was while
the girl was lying on the ground that they
quarreled about her, he said, and, in the
heat Of the discussion, Corkran walked
away, while Price covered her body with
some brush and hid her books and lunch
basket,
Corkran's story is that he was at his
home during the time the murder occurred
mending a horse collar, and, while thus
employed, he saw the girl pass his home
On her way to school. He then Nys that
after he had finished the work on the coll
lar he put it on a horse and began blowing,
and was thus engaged when he heard the
alarm given that the girls body had been
found and saw her parents pass by.
Corkran has been arrested.
A strong point against Price is that the
cut on Sallie Deans head could only have
been done by person using the left hand.
Price is affected with this marked pc
culiarity, and did most everything in a
left-handed manner. The cut in the girls
throat runs from the left to the right
side, and only such cuts, as a rule, are
made by left-handed persons.

SUGAR IN THE WEST INDIES.
The Production Increasing, but tn
Consumption IL Slow.

Consumption Is Slow.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, has furnished to the Department
of State copy of a circular issued by the
West India committee of London concern
ing sugar production. The ambassador ex-
plains that 1t is not to be regarded as an
expression of opinion by his government,
but only of the committees views. The
circular calls attention to the fact that the
sugar industry, beet as well as cane, is
passing through a crisis Of the most seri-
GUS description, and expresses he hope
that in attempting to provide remedy
the various governments should avoid taxi
ing any steps which may aggravate the
crisis instead of relieving it. 1t is shown
that while the production is increasing at
the rate of million tons per annum, the
consumption grows slowly at the rate Of
only 100000 tons per annum. Naturally.
prices are depressed, and the bounty sys-
tenn is ascribed as the cause of this state
of affairs. Therefore, 1t advocates the en-
tire abolition of the bounty and the stimu-
lation of consumption by the reduction OF
the duties levied on sugar, which are ex-
cessive in Europe and prevent the People
as a whole from using sugar.
