ed the National League.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 10.-Judge
Slower to-day issued an injunction to pre-
vent the president and executive board of
the National League of Musicians from sit
ting in convention without admitting all
members in good standing. He decided
that the delegates of the American Fedora
ton of Musicians who were excluded were
members in good standing and that the
president had no right to revoke the char
ters of local lodges that had affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
After Judge Slower had announced his de-
cision a conference was held of commit
tees composed of three delegates from each
warning faction in the convention. They
agreed that all the expenses of the Itiga-
ton here and the hotel bills and other ex-
penses of all the delegates of both factions
should be paid out of the fund of the as
sociation. They agreed further that all
legislation by either wing of the conven-
tion should be annuled and that the re-
cent election of officers of both branches
of the convention should be declared void
with the exception of the secretary. who
was elected by the league on Tuesday last
and that another convention should be
called by the secretary at the expiration of
six months. Later this evening the dele
gates met in their convention hall and rati-
fed this agreement, after which the con-
vention adjourned sine die.

NEW YORK, May 10.-The twenty-round
bout between Choynski, of California, and
Denver Ed" Smith tonight was cut short
by Referee Roche, who stopped the bout
after two minutes and eight seconds of
fighting in the fourth round. Smith fre-
quently tried to hold Choynskis hand dur
ing the first three rounds and was roundly
task, for he knocked Smith down in the
first round and the Denver man took near
ly the full ten seconds in getting to his
feet. Joe was always ready with left jabs,
and he sent them in on Smiths face re-
peatedly at the close of the third round.
Smiths face was badly punched and the
blood trickled over Choynskis body during
the clinches, The foul tactics of
Smith in the fourth round made
Referee Roche caution him. Finally
Smith clinched and refused to break,
The referee shouted to him, but all to no
purpose. Smith would not break away and
kept rubbing his head into ChoynSkiS face,
covering the Californian with his blood. AS
soon as the referee succeeded in getting
them separated he sent them to their cor
ners and stopped the bout. He awarded
the fight to Choynski and there were min
gled cheers and groans from all over the
house. Time of round two minutes and
three seconds. Choynsk the favorite

NEW PHILADELPHIA, o., May TO-
Mrs Elizabeth Ballot and her two daugh-

farm near this place, had a terrible ex-
perence with masked burglars last night.
There were four of the robbers. They bat
tered down the front door with a rail- Mrs.
Balliott and Elizabeth, who sleep together
down stars, were bound, and when they re-
fused to tell where their money was hid
den one of the robbers struck Elizabeth on
the head with a club, injuring her most
seriously. Then the robbers went up stairs.
They asked Emelire where the money was.
She refused TO tell and the robbers applied
torch to her feet, burning them terribly.
She then told them there was money in
trunk in her room. The trunk was broken
open, and when the robbers had secured
about $75 hidden in it they took their de-
parture. The women remained bound until
this morning, when they gave the alarm.
No trace of the robbers has been found.

POOLING CASE SETTLED.
The court denied the petition for a re-
hearing in the Transmissouri Freight AS

Justice Harlan rendered the opinion of
the court in the case of John II. Stone
VS. the United States, appealed from the
Circuit Court Of Appeals for the Ninth
circuit. In this case suit had been brought
against Stone in the district of Washing
ton by the government to recover damages
for timber cut on the public domain in
Idaho after Stone had been acquitted in a
criminal prosecution by the court in Idaho
Tor the same offense. The defense set up
tne plea that the prosecution must take
place in the same State in which the tim
Der had been cut and that the criminal
prosecution was part of the suit for dam
ages. Both objections were oVerruled and
the decision below affirmed.
The court decided in favor of the city
of Defiance, o., in the suit brought by the
Wabash Railroad Company TO prevent the
city from changing the grade of its streets
10 level with the railroad tracks. In 1887
the City Council passed an ordinance per-
mitting the railroad company to erect new
bridges over its tracks where they were
crossed by the street and in 1888 decreed
that the grade of the streets should be
changed to the level of the road. 1t was
contended by the railroad that the ordi-
nance Of 1887 constituted a contract be-
tween it and the city for the perpetual
maintenance of the bridges but the court
held that it was rather license than a
contract, that such contract could be
made only by express authority of the leg
islature and that it was incredible that the
city could have intended to relinquish the
right to change the grade. The opinion de-
livered by Justice Brown affirmed that of
the Supreme Court of Ohio.
The court denied the application made
for writ of habeas corpus by the attor-

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Gov. BradIey's Reasons for Rejecting
an Application for License.

FRANKFORT. XIV. May 10.-Dr. B. f.
Stocl1dale, of Louisville, claiming to be a
physician, applied to the State Medical
Board for a certificate to practice medi-
cine. The board refused to grant the GER
titicate the ground that he was adver-
tising that he could cure incurable diseases.
and was thus defrauding the public Stock
dale appealed to the Governor as he had
right to do under the law, and the Cover
nor delivered the following opinion on the
appeal to-day:
The appellant admits that his conduct
has been irregular and improper, but bases
ms right to a certificate TO practice medi-
cine upon MS promise not to be guilty of
such conduct in the future. This promise
was made in 1893, when he applied for the
nrSt time; again in 1896, when he made the
second application. and in April 1897 when
he made the present application. Yet the
proof SHOWS that this advertising continued
IN greater or less degree up to the 9th of
April last and that as late as Jan ii, 1884,
he advertised that he could cure diseases
which number of reputable physicians
swear are incurable.
The statute OF empiricism was adopted
10 prevent such persons from engaging in
the practice, for it cannot be denied that
one thus advertising is guilty of grossly
improper conduct calculated to deceive or
derrdud the people (Secton 2615 Kentucky

thus the public be deceived and injured.
The question of forgiveness or Charity
is not involved. If the doctor will cease his

and be allowed to practice. but a mere

HE HELD OUT CHECKS.
Columbus Bank Alleged to Have
Been Robbed by an EmplOye.


COLUMBUS, o., May 10.-The eXamiha-
ton of the books of the National Bank
which is to be consolidated June 10 with the
Fourth National Bank has disclosed that
c. Fl. Damsel, general bookkeeper for the
National Bank, is defaulter to an amount
between $4,000 and $25, 600. The defalca-
tions date back about five years. Damsel
had been connected with the bank twenty
seven years, and the fact that he was
trusted implicitly enabled him to conceal
his crookedness. His plan of operation was
to hold out checks, varying in amount from
$50 tC 5000 on banks in other cities. Although
the statements from these banks did not
balance with his own books, he always rep
resented that they did, and no one ques-
toned his word. The first discovery was
made about ten days ago, and a week ago
Damsel disappeared and his Whereabouts
at present are unknown. Damsel lived high
during the last few years and gambed
some. Although he never gave any bond
the bank is fully indemnifed against loss
by William Moneypenny, who held the con-
trolling interest in the bank prior to jan
II, when the consolidation was agreed on
There have been no defalcations since that
date. The consolidation is not in the least
affected by the affair.
