A DANGEROUS ABUSE.

Georgia's receivership laws are now
under discussion, and radical reform
of the practices which everywhere OBJ
tain in this state of wrecking solvent
institutions by a mere technical pro-
cess of law which, if the truth were
know, is inspired by parties other than
| the one whose name is used, is being
demanded.
Under the lax method OF procedure
permitted under our laws, says the
Newman Hefald, millions of dollars
worth of property is sacrificed annual
ly, and the business community is kept
in state of constant turmoil. Almost
any commercial or manufacturing con-
Germ can, through the manipulations of
a cheap lawyer with little hundred
dollar claim, be practically forced into
liquidation, even though there be tan
gible assets in excess of liabilities in
such amount as would ordinarily enti-
tie it to a first-class rating. 1t is praC-
tically out of the question for large en-
terprises to do business on cash ba-
sis, and there is probably no period
when their obligations could be paid
at a moments notice. For the affairs
of concern to be put in the hands of a
receiver, therefore, is quite serious
matter, however solvents its condition
may be. A motion for a receiyership
is construed by the public as indicating
financial weakness or insolvency, and
every creditor who holds a claim against
the firm or company involved is natur-
ally anxious to have the same Secur-
ed. To this end proceedings are insti-
tuted, and the pressure from numer-
Gus claimants, all seeking to gain some
advantage by precipitate action, gen
orally results in bankruptcy. Instan-
Ces without number can be cited where
property worth hundreds of thousand
of dollars has been hung up in court
on the petition Of claimants whose in
diyidual interests were insignificant in
comparison with the losses which their
action entailed.
The persons who make application
for the appointment Of a receiver
should be required, first, to show con-
the necessity for suchsreceiv-
ership, and then furnish security for
such indemnity as the party or parties
proceeded against may be entitled to
recover by reason Of the pecuniary loss
sustained through business embarrass-
ment, or the mismanagement of assets
while in the hands of a receiver. Let
us have some reform in this matter.

Changing the National Bank

DETROIT. MICH Aug. 19.-The Bank
ers' Convention ended its labors to-day
with the election OF officers. A pretty
little bit of politics was shown in the cleo
ton, as Frank w. Tracy of Springfield,
ILL.,, laid his wires to be elected vice-presi-
dent and received the support of the
nominating committee, but was knocked
out in the convention by George Il. Rus
sell of this city, who received two votes to
Tracy's one. The report OF the nominal
ing committee in favor of Joseph C. Hen
dirk of Brooklyn for president was unan-
imously concurred in.

Cutrages Committed BY the Spaniards
Because of fefasdI to Wear
Black for Canovas.

HAVANA, CUBA, Aug. 19.-Last week
the Spanish military commander of the
town OF Sagna, Santa Clara province.
ordered that all inhabitants dress in black
for nine days, as mourning for Canovas.
He ordered at the same time that all
houses be draped IN black and for bade the
singing and playing of musical instru-
ments In private residences.
A careful list was taken of families who
did not comply with the order and re-
port was given to the Governor by his
agents that many young women mad not
dressed Ill black. Many were placed un-
der arrest and sent to Jail in chains for
forty-eight hours, where they were among
the lowest class of criminals and exposed
TO all sorts of dangers.
One hundred and fifty orphans of pacifi-
cos killed by Spanish troops in Pinar
del Rio are now in slavery in that prov
ince. Governor Senior San Pedro has
given them as servants to Spanish Off GERS.
A report of barbarous raid on a Cuban
hospital comes from Cienfuegos. At hill
near Cumanayagua, in the district of
Cienfuegos, Major Moscoso of the Span
ish battalion OF Baileu attacked the hos
pital OF the insurgents, assassinating o
twenty-six wounded Cubans, four women
and five children. Moscoso was at the
head OF 160 Spanish soldiers. The hospi-
tai was not protected by the Cuban army.
At Armenleros, few miles from Ha-
vana, the Cuban forces of Colonel Aran-
guren routed the Spanish battalion of
Otumba, after a hard fight which lasted
several hours. This is considered here to
be one of Aranguren's most brilliant ex.
ploits, as his cavalry mum mbered less than
half the Spanish forces
General Adolfo Castillo also had an i'm
portant encounter with the Spanish bat
talon of Baleares at Falcon plantation,
near San Antonio de Los Banos, Havana
province. The Spanish claim a great VIC
tory, but the column retreated to the town
of San Antonio.

shotguns and revolvers laid the villain
low and he fell, with dozen wounds in
various parts of his body. The farmers
closed in upon HIM, and though death was
only question of a few moments he was
beaten with clubs and kicked to death,
the body being an unrecognizable mass OF
pulp when they had finished.
Having avenged the assault upon Mrs.
Seinska, the lynchers went quietly back
to their homes. The body was left in the
cornfield, and at about O'clock this even.
ing a telephone message informed the
Coroner that there was case waiting G
him. A deputy was sent out and the
body taken to Dunning, where an inquiry
will be held tomorrow. No arrests were
made and none are likely.

dent Dolan at Columbus. asking their con-
sent to conference OF Pittsburg operators.
Ratchford's answer was anxiously awaited
to-day. 1t came, and it made the operators
angry. Ratchford's reply was sent by
Dolan, who said that he and Ratchford
refused their consent to hold conference
with the operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict but that they you'd probably con-
sent to hold one il all the operators of the
four States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois would take part in it.
Said Colonel Rend sadly: "The voice is
the voice of Dolan, but the hand is the
hand of Ratchford. Dolan went away
from here last night fully favoring the
proposed conference, but suppose Ratch-
ford has talked him over. Ratchford
knows very well the operators of Indiana
and Illinois will never consent to hold
conference with US. This means war to
the bitter end for the operators and strik-
ers. The strikers demand 25 per cent in
crease in wages for pick mining and SO
per cent increase In wages for machine
mining, with the evident purpose of de-
stroying the utility of the machines. but
we will beat them at their own game and
will defeat them with the mining ma
chimes.
1--WE decided last night to reopen the
mines with non-union labor il necessary.
Ratchford's refusal to confer will only
strengthen our determination. In re.
opening the mines we will start up GER
tain machine mines. We will begin with
them because then we shall not need so
many men to operate them. We can
easily get enough machinists, mine bosses,
ETC., to operate the machines, and there
will be no trouble to find plenty Of un-
skilled laborers to load the coal after it
has been cut. Such workmen will flock
to the mines, for they can make better
wages an at any other unskilled occupa-
tion. OF course Well win the fight, and
our success may be the death kneIl of the
United Mine-Workers Union"
The operators will probably refuse to de-
duct from the miners wages the per cap
ita tax assessed on them by their union,
and without the per capita tax the union
cannot live. At meeting this afternoon
the operators completed an organization,
eiecting Peter NJ. Hitchcock president. A
committee was appointed to prepare a
programme for carrying out the resolution
to start up the mines.
Treasurer Dysart says the ID en- who now
belong to the organization represent an
annual production OF 100000 tons OF
coal, and the funds with which the opera
tors will fight the miners will be raised by
assessment on the tonnage.
Perhaps it was because Patrick Dolan
left for Columbus last night that the
marching strikers did not defy the Sheriff
this morning and were not arrested. The
programme of marching and submitting
to arrest was not carried out,

The Owners VIII Start the Machines
With Non-Union Workers,
If Necessary.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 19.-That a
crisis is at hand in the local coal-miners'
strike and that bloodshed is inevitable is
borne out by sensational statement
made here to-day by National President
Ratchford, who said: sit is no longer a
fight against De Armitt no longer fight
against the coal operators. 1t is fight
against the courts; fight against in
functions; National fight for the preser-
vation Of civil liberty"
Ratchford said the miners would en-.
deavor to prevent operators from moving
any coal, but would not say what tactics
will be employed to accomplish this re-
suit The executive boards of United
Mine workers and United Iron-workers
have been in session here all day. The
question under consideration was how to
meet the sweeping injunctions granted
by the courts. The members of the COM
mlttee say they have not yet agreed upon
any plan of action and will not com plete
their labors before tomorrow. 1t is
understood they are trying to induce the
railroad employees to refuse to handle any
of the coal mined. President Ratchford
says that while lnjun ctions have gwen
them some trouble, the strike has by no
means been lost.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 19.-Ratchford
has refused to confer with the Pittsb burg

of the operators.

A Tramp Having Assaulted Helpless
Woman Is Shot, Stabbed and

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 19.-An unknown
tramp shortly after noon to-day called at
the farmhouse of Carl Seinska, near
Mannheim, this county, just outside the
city limits, and entering the kitchen.
where Mrs. Seinska was alone attending 6
to her housework, demanded food. which
was given him. The men folks were all at
work in the field some distance away.
While be was eating his meal he ascer-
tanned that Mrs. Seinska was alone.
Without warning he attacked the de-
fenseless woman. She struggled with him,
screaming for help at the top of her voice,
but nobody was near enough to hear her

She continued to scream as long as she

and he made a terrible attack upon her
after gagging her so she could no longer
raise her voice. He added to tn outrage
by slashing her lower limbs with knife.
After the assault the man started away
from the house. leaving Mrs. Seinska
gagged and bound and lying on the floor.

ioosening the knot which held her and
staggered across the fields, where she
found her husband and some other men
at work. To them she told her terrible
story.
A man hunt was organized at once.
The alarm spread throughout the neigh
borhood. Fully forty farmers responded,
armed with revolvers. knives, guns, rifles,
pltchforks and axes predomiuating, while
one or two snatched up hoes ana others
whiffletre and clubs. Pursuit was not
difficult, for the direction the man took
was readily learned by inquiry. He had
made a short cut across the fields, evi-
dently intending to reach Chicago.
After chase of three miles the man
was sighted in a cornfeld. He first at
tempted to hide, but apparently fearing
his whereabouts would be discovered sud-
denly started to run. The pursuing party
rapidly gained on him and seeing escape
was hopeless he turned upon his pursuers
with all the rage and venom of rat in a
corner. Drawing two revolvers he opened
fire upon the advancing army of avengers.
