ATTACHED
SUGAR BOUNTY.
Injunction to Prevent It's Pay
ment to the Planter.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 10.
Ayers, Gardner & Co. ofGal-
weston, through Attorney F.
L. Richardson, filed a petition
in the United States Circuit
court today, asking for an in
junction against Subtreasurer
Douglas Fitzpatrick, restrain
ing him from paying sugar
bounty money to Chester B.
Darral, owner of a big planta-
ton in St. Mary's parish.
The petition AYERS that last
March the plaintiff received
Judgment in this court against
Chester B. Darral in the sum
of $500, which was to bear s
per cent interest February,
1895, until paid. Last June
the United States marshal seiz-
ed the Darral sugar bounty
claim against tie government
for bounty allowed for sugar
raised on the St. Marys plan
tation in 1894. The petition
alleges that the claim is yet
unpaid and the plaintiff asks
the court to order its payment
from the Darral bounty mon
ey, which arrived at the sub
treasury this morning. It is a
novel case and is attracting
much attention from the legal
fraternity, since if the suit is
successful the chances are that
many others will follow in ia
pid succession. The petition
was fled and Judge Pardee
ordered a temporary restrain
ing order against Mr.. Darral,
and that on next Saturday he
should show cause why the
injunction should not be grant
ed as petitioned- The order
was also served on Subtrea-
surer Fitzpatrick this afternoon.
Walburn Swenson & Co. OF
Chicago have filed like peti-
ton against Darral, asking for
the restraining of $4,000.

began to get uncomfortably
warm at early dawn an1 as the
blazing sun pushed its way
over Lake Michigan the mer
curry climbed up. TO make life
still more unbearable a steady
hot wind as baneful as a sirocco
from the sands of the Sahara
blew over the city from the
marshes and swamps on the
Southern limit. 1t was a hot,
blistering wind and men sought
to escape from it. 1t was ter
rible, even on the lake front,
and in those quarters of Chi
cago where wealth and plenty
abound, but in the tenement,
povertystricken districts the
suffering was awful to contera
plate. All night long the miser'
able people painted and sweIter
ed III vain for a breath Of fresh
air. They slept, or tried to
sleep, by thousands on the side
walks while the fumes arose
from the garbage heaps, spread
ing death and disease. The city
ambulances and patrol wagons
from the police stations were
kept busy all night bearing
victims to the hospitals.
Prostrations from heat began
to be reported as early as s
0 clock. Animals lay dead in
almost every ward of the city.
They were so numerous that
the garbage men could not keep
the streets clear Of them.
The first fatal case was that
of Frederick Rocker, q laborer
who died at 7.55.
Reports from Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania and many New England
states show numerous prostra-
tions as the result of the in
tense heat.
The continued heat has af
fected police patroImen and
letter carriers About fifty of
the latter have been compelled
to quit work temporarily aud
two or three may die.
Several of the big department
stores, during the past few
days, have practically been
turned into hospitals. The
clerks have tainted by the
dozens at their counters and
many of them have quit work
on account of the heat.
Last week 557 death were re-
ported to The department of
health, which is the largest rec
ord for any week in many
years.
1t is estimated that over 1000
animals killed by the heat are
lying in different parts Of the
city, aud the authorities admit
they are unable to remove the
animals promptly.

Honolulu, Aug. 2.-Mr. P.
Cranes, exminister of finance,
leaves for San Francisco today
to float the refubding loan. He
expects to sell three or four
million dollars worth of Haw-
allan bonds. His contract with
this government allows a dis
count of 5 per cent and he will
receive a commission of 9 per
cent. Mr.. Grones is given un
til the first day of next Novem-

pected to dispose of them either

Letters have been received
giving he testimony of eminent
men in Vienna on the bacillus
of the disease that carried of
the natives last year. They give
as a final verdict the opinion
that the visitation was genuine
Asiatic cholera, as most Of the
local physicians pronounced it.

STRANGELY TONGUE-TIE
A singular story of how
Jack Frost captured a burglar
comes from Fort Benton, Mon
tada, by way of a despatch to
the Philadelphia Times. Dur
ing the severely cold weather in
January Tip Burbank, made a
raid on the FIRST National Bank
of this place. His plan was to
enter through a window at the
rear Of the bnilding and make
his way through the Offices TO
the vault. An iron grating
protected the window.
The night was intensely cold
and the streets were like glass,
a heavy snow having melted
as it fell and no the first bar
of the grating his foot slipped,
throwing him forward violently
against the window.
AS luck would have it, the
fall jerked his mouth open, his
tongue was forced between his
lips, and froze instantly to the
icy iron bars. All efforts to
release himself were vain, as
nothing short Of pulling his
tongue out by the roots would
have effected this, and he could
not bring himself to that. A
watchman making his rounds
found him q half hour later al,
most dead with cold.
Tip is alive and safely housed
in Jail now, but his tongue will
never wag again. II is com
pletely and hopeIessly paraly
zed.
