WlsCAssET.& QUEBEC.
Judge Webb Denies the Motion for an In
junction.

The PRESS, Tuesday, stated that on
Monday Mr. Wallace Wilson of Braintree,
Mass, filed bill in equity against the
Wiscasset & Quebec railroad praying the
court to deree to him bonds to the amount
of $125, 200 in accordance with an agree
ment made by the company with him.
A. NJ. Spear of Gardiner was the counsel
acting for Mr.. Wilson. The court ordered
hearing on request for an injunction
the hearing to take place yesterday morn
ing. The notice was served on W. D.
Patterson, treasurer of the Wiscasset &
Quebec.
= Yesterday Hon. A. M. Spear of Gardi-
.ner appeared for Mr.. Wilson who is an
attorney of Boston. Mr.. Wilson was also
in attendance.
Hon. Charles E. Littleield of Rockland
appeared for the road which was also
represented at the morning proceedings
by General Manager W. Fred P. Fogg Of
Wiscasset and Treasurer William d. Pat
terson of Wiscasset.
Mr.. Spear addressed the court. He
stated that the railroad company con-
tracted to deliver the bonds in question
and that on Or about November 49,, 1886,
a demand in writing was made ON the
road. The road however refused and still
refuses to deliver. These bonds were due
to q. D. Lancaster Of Boston, who on
August %, 1896, gave an order to the road
to turn them over to Mr.. Wilson. The
latter has hecoma satisfied that the road
is now insolvent and that measures were
to be taken to absorb these bonds when it
is believed that there are now 1875, 900
worth of bonds in the treasury.
Mr.. Littlefeld in reply simply asked
that the case be dismissed.
Judge Webb at once announced that the
motion was denied.
Unless the case is abandoned the hear
ing will occur in July.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The State University will open its
doors today for the session of 1898.
Il does so under some disadvantages,
owing to the existence of the yellow
fever scare in the state, which is keep
ing many from attending, but from the
information that the University man
agement has. the attendance will be in
creased materially over last year when
all the students are here to be counted.
This certainly speaks well for Texas.
The State University is peculiarly a
home school. 1t was founded for the
youths and maidens. of Texas. and it
should be the alma mater of every
young man and woman in Texas. The
corps of professors engaged at this
University is amply qualified for their
respective positions, and the University
is now on footing where it stands sec
ond to none in the south. 1t will only
be matter of few years before it will
stand foremost among the universities
OF America.

In an after dinner speech at Denver
Comptroller ECkels told the members of
the Clearing House association that
there is no such thing as sectionalism
in the world of true finance. 1t has been
customary for the east to boast of pos
scssing the surplus capital of the country
and for the west TO boast with equal pride
of its limitless resources and rapid adj
vancement Similarly the south has been
portrayed by its ardent sons as the real
fountain of wealth for the United States,
and thus there has more or less insensi-
bly, grown up a scctionalism in a material
sense that has its basis in wholesale ri
valry. As an eastern exchange says. it
was timely utterance when Comptroller
Eckes pointed out to his Denver auditors
that the law of the commercial world,
through all its history, has been proved
to be II law of continual change. Sec
tional development means really the
growth of the whole country, and espe-
cially in the realm of capital there is
neither logic nor common sense in seek
ing to antagonize one section against an
other. The prosperity of the whole
country is made up of the prosperity of
its individual parts

YELLOW FEvER I'M rExAs.

The people of Texas need not neces-
sarily become frightened at the reported
yellow fever In the state. The supposed
case at Beaumont has as yet failed to
result in any further developments.
Houston is now under the bane, but 1t
Is hoped that the case there will not
prove to be yellow fever, as there still
seems to be considerable doubt about
It. Should 1t be yellow fever, however.
there is little likelihood of the fever
spreading, as it is too late for II to get
a foothold In Texas. Foster has pre-
dicted a heavy frost for Texas for next
Sunday, and 1t is hoped that his predic-
tons will not miss fire. The danger to
Texas from yellow fever is not that we
will have an epidemic this year, but
that we will have one next year. If the
yellow fever germ gets into the state at
all this year it will simply hibernate
here during the winter months and
break forth with the first round of hot
weather next year. With this situation
confronting the people of Texas they
should follow out strictly the admoni-
ton once given to "clean up" 1t would
be a good idea for every city In Texas
to organize a department to keep their
city clean the year around. Cleanliness
Is the bitterest foe of yellow fever.

The Chicago Chronicle says: The
death of ex-Representative ("Buck'D Kill
gore of Texas will recall the deceased
statesman's sudden leap to fame when
he kicked down the green baize door
which had been locked by order of Speak
or Reed during one of the filibustering
scenes of the Fifty-first congress. Per
haps the only other democrat who ever
succeeded in feazing the car of the
house was Representative Rogers,
now federal judge in Arkansas, who,
like kilgore de6ed the autocrat to his
face and held the whole machinery Of
the house at bay until he had asserted
his personal rights. Ex-Representative
Kilgore also became federal judge by
the nomination of President Cleveland
and his record in public office has con-
firmed the general belief that his attain
ments and integrity were of superior
order. lie was a faithful fighter in the
democratic ranks and. contrary to popu-
lar impression, was far from being a man
of violent temper. His one assertion of
individual rights on the floor of congress
not only gave him personal fame, but
strengthened the resolution of many of
his colleagues to resist the autocratic ac.
tons of the republican speaker.

San Antonio Tex, Sept. 2S.-(Speciall
After mOrtally wounding julius Hotz,
and while his victim was still alive,
Joseph APPEL blew his own brains out last
night. The first part of the tragedy
was enacted at midnight. APPEL, be-
tween whom and Hotz there had been
i'll feeling for some time, entered the lat
ter's house on Mitchell street, and
climbed up the back stairs to the bed
room of Hotz, who was aroused and
came to the window. APPEL fired once
through the blinds and sent bullet into
Hotz' side The bullet travelled up;
wards, passing through the lungs and
blade. 1t was thought for a time that
the assailant had escaped. but an hour
later, after the police arrived, several
shots were heard from the rear of the
house. and then single shot from the
top of the back stairway. APPEL was
+, IND lying dead, with bullet through
his brain, where he had stood when he
shot Hotz. The latter lived until 3
o'clock this morning. He was SO years
old and unmarried, living with his two
sisters. He formerly conducted dairy
business. but retired moderately wealthy
some time ago. APPEL had been in his
employ, but about three months ago
there was falling out between the two,
and APPEL had frequently made threats
towards his former employer 1t Is
said that he had an engagement TO
marry with one of the Hotz female re-
lations. which had been broken off, and
that this caused the trouble.

NATIONAL LABOR CONVENTION.
The Free Silver Fallacy Knocked
Out and Its Promoters Are Tired.

out ana Its OmOters Are Tired.
Chicago. Sept. 2S-When the report
of the committee on resolutions of the
national convention was presented today
a big row ensued. A resolution was
handed in yesterday approving the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to /,
and the free silver people in the con-
vention felt certain that the resolution
would be embodied in the committee re-
port. When it was returned today,
however, it said nothing about free
coinage. but instead had this clause:
We favor the issue of staple legal
tender by the government direct and
the establishment of government saw
ings banks.
1t was finally voted to have the reso-
lutions accepted and printed and at to-
mcrrow's session, when they come up for
final passage, lively time is antici-
pated.
The report is about 1900 words long
and is addressed to the labor organiza-
tons of America.
In the introduction it reads, 'to the
battle against monopoly" and speaks of
the ballot as "thc best means for re-
form"
The report says among other things:
I'VE admit the failure of the strike
method and favor serious convention
to which we invite the friends of labor
in a movement looking toward political
action.
eve recognize the necessity of
strikes. but the most active strike il the
ballot box"
Eugene V. Debs was not present at to-
days meeting. but it is understood he
had nothing to do with the currency
plank of the platform. There was a
large attendance at today's session.
About thirty additional delegates pre-
eAnected tomorrow.
