TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
James Burns MCGEE Arrested
at the National on a Seri-
Gus Charge.

Upon information from Omaha and
Kansas City, Detective Jas. Kesson to-
day arrested a fine looking and well
dressed travelling man who was stop
ping at the National hotel and he is be-
ing held on the charge of grand larceny
and forgery until officers come from
Omaha and Kansas City to identify
him.
The Topeka police department re
ceived word first from Omaha that a
man who was known as Jas. Burns Nc
Gee or Jas Burns was wanted at that
place for securing $3.50 unlawfully.
Later word came from Kansas City for
the arrest of a man giving the above
aliases for forgery. Detective Kesson
made a search and today located the
man at the National. He was taken to
the police station where he was searched
and articles described in the informa-
ton were found on him. He arrived in
Topeka Monday and registered at the
Fifth Avenue hotel as Jas. Edw
Browne, Kansas City. Yesterday he
registered at the National under the
same name. He is a short stout man
wearing glasses. The police today re-
ceived word from Omaha to hold
Browne by all means until an officer ar
rives. The police claim to have Sc
cured a confession from Browne which
clears away all doubt of his identity.

FAILURES COMING AGAIN.
Big Grocery Company, a jewelers.
Firm and q Bank

New York, Oct. 2O-CounseI on behalf
of a number of the stockholders in the
American Grocery company has made
application to Chancellor McGiH at Jer-
sey City for a receiver for the company
The bill sets forth that the company was
organized in June, 1894, and made money
for two years. During the third year
Thomas S. Marsalis made changes in the
business methods which proved detri-
mental. Orders were not filed to the
satisfaction of customers and statesmen
who influenced much of the trade We're
allowed to leave and take their trade
with them Several articles which had
proved profitable were dropped from the
stock. The bill also alleges that Mr.
Marsalis sought to bring about a disso-
luton.
In answer, Mr.. Marsalis makes an af-
fidavit that at the time of the transfer
from the old to the new company there
were outstanding $1,50OOO0 of preferred
and 81, ,OO0. 600 of common stock. An assess
ment of 20 per cent was levied on the
preferred and 10 per cent on the common
stock of Thurber. White & o.,predecessor
of the American Grocery company. In
return they We're to receive as much stock,
common and preferred as they held in
the old company, and in addition thereto
first preferred stock of the new company
equal to the assessment paid in On this
agreement S3lO,OOU was palu IN ana AddISe-
lis and certain friends paid 100000 addi-
tional. When he took charge of the
company it owed S25o,O0O which debt he
reduced in three years to $4,000.
Chancellor McCfiu has reserved his de-
cision.
Boston, Oct. 2O.-Wilson Brothers, whole
sale and retail jewelers. of this city, have
made an assignment. Liabilities are said
to be in the neighborhOod of 5000.
EdgertOn, Wis, oct 20.-The doors of

was due depositors $14S.381.
Harrisburg. Pa. Oct. 2O.-Deputy At
torney General Reeder has applied to the
court for receiver for the Iron City Fire
Insurance company of Pittsburg. The ap-
plication was at once granted and Elmer

ceiver. Judgments to the amount of $30,-
600 have been entered against the COM
pany and a number of executions against
it have been returned marked no funds"

''PEACE TO HIS ASHES.
Debs Says Pullman is ON an
Equality With TOiIers Now.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Eugene v. Debs ad-
dressed another meeting or cIoakmakers
last night. During the course of his
speech he said:
You can always rely on US in Chicago
to render such assistance as lies in our
power. I agree with the proposition of
abolishing the wage system, but we can
not do it today, or tomorrow. or the
next day, but while it remains we must
do all we can until it is finally abolished
and gives way to the cooperative sys-
TEN. Every strike that is lost reduces
the condition of the workers and hastens
the overthrow of the wage system
While he was telling of the offer he
had made to John D. Rockefeller to line
up $1,000 starving and ragged men along
the lake front, Chicago, to show the tri-
umph of capital over labor, someone in
the audience shouted: "One of those
angels is dead now"
Peace to ashes said Mr. Debs. ''NIr.
Pullman would not arbitrate when he had
nothing to arbitrate. He is on an equal
ity with the toilers now

will start from Chicago on its way to
the Pacific coast.
Up to January 1 the limited trains
will be run exactly as they We're run
last year. From Chicago to Kansas
City the equipment will be carried on
the Chicago and Colorado trains and
g. and westbound the trains will leave
Chicago on Wednesday and Saturday
of each week. Los Angeles will be
reached-on the third day out from Chi
cago, namely Saturdays and Tuesdays.
Eastbound the trains will leave Los
Angeles on Tuesdays and Fridays, com
mencing October 26, and arrive in Chi
cago on the following Fridays and
Mondays. From Emporia to Kansas
City the eastbound trains will run over
the "cut off, and will not pass through
Topeka.
The limited trains will carry only
Pullman standard sleepers. buffet smok-
ing cars and dining cars. The Pullman
sleepers are all new, having been built
for the trains at the Pullman works
within the past two months.
After January 1 it is believed that
the California business will warrant
the running of the trains three times
week.
The running time of none of the reg
ular trains through Topeka is effected
by the new time card.

ABAD FAMILY WARNED.
Judge Hazen Tired of Having the
Rrubrakers in Court.

Judge Hazen administered a severe
castigatiOn to the Brubaker family in
the district court today in the trial of
Abe Brubaker for being the father of
an illegitimate child. The woman in the
case was found to be married through
an error in her divorce proceedings and
the case against Brubaker was accord
ingly dismissed.
After the formality of disposing of
the case was over, Judge Hazen turned
to the BrubakerS, several of them being
in the court room, and said:
Il have been on the bench in this
court for little more than five years,
and from the time 1 took my place I'M
til now, there has always been a Bru-
baker case before this court. Sometimes
it was a criminal case, and at other
times civil, but there was always some
kind of a case before the court in which
they were interested, and I am tired Of
it. I want to warn you now, that if
you come into this court any more with
your petty quarrelS, you will receive the
full limit of the law

YANDERBILTs TO CONTROL.
Union Pacific Will Give Them a Lins
Across the Continent

New York, Oct 20-Should the plan
of selling the Union Pacific railway No
vember 2, under the order o United
States Circuit Judge Sanborne, be car
ried out, the property will pass into the
possession of the VanderbiIts. Anyway,
this is the programme which has been
arranged by J. PierpOnt Morgan, Chaun-
cey NJ. DepeW and Marvin Hughitt, who
are conducting this end of the deal.
Coils P. Huntington is willing. So
are the other interests concerned, as
far as can be ascertained in this city.
The only possible obstacle to the sue
cess of the enterprise lies in the possi-
bility of opposition bids, and under the
plan of sale, as sanctioned by the Oblig-
ing attorney general of the United
States opposition is next to impossible.
Banker Morgan, acting for the Wander
biIts and in conjunction with c. P.
Huntington, is seeking a line of rail-
way that will extend clear across the
continent. Huntington will supply the
Pacific coast end of the line under
close agreement with Morgan.

AGAINST SCALPERS.
Passenger Agents Ask Lawmakers
for Protection.

st. Louis. Oct 2O.-The American as
sociation of general passenger agents
now in session here with delegates
present representing the principal rail-
road systems of the United States, Can
ada, and Mexico, has adopted resolu-
tions, calling attention to the necessity
for state and national legislation
against the ticket scalping evil
State legislatures that have not al
ready done so, are urged to adopt laws
confining the sale of tickets to the
proper authorized agents of the trans
portation companies and at the same
time that will require under suitable
penalties the redemption of every tick
ct or part of ticket that may not be
used. Congress is also requested to
pass the so-called "anti-scalping' bills
now before that body.
