BREACH OF THE PEACE THREATENED
TROUBLE OVER HORSE HIRE AND
OUTBREAK OF MEN AROUND A
TROLLEY CAR.

A disturbance that looked like gem
eral row broke out on Delaware street
last evening, the trouble being over the
hire of a horse belonging to John a..
McNally A Wilmington man, who re-
fused to pay what McNally asked,
kicked the latter, and in an instant a
crowd of McNally's friends came to the
rescue. The Wilmington man sought
refuge on Conductor Fagan's trolley
ear, then passing, and Policeman Har-
rngton jumped on behind him and
placed the offender under arrest.
Joseph II. Weldon, of South Whining
ton, and Conductor Pagan interceded
with the policeman to prevent his ar
rest. They induced the man to pay
Officer Harrington the full amount
charged by McNally and started up the
car, although with much difficulty, as
over 100 angry men and boys crowded
around 1t anxious to get at the Will
mington man. The policeman was
roundly abused for not making the ar
rest McNally had general sympathy
/ because an accident that befel him
while at work about year ago de-
prived him of his foot.

ANGELS CAMP. Sept 19.-The pro-
posed trustees sale of the Carson Creek
Mining company claims, viz, Jones
mine, Vergennes, Independence, Gates,
Carson Creek, Harrison, Remington,
Garrett placer and Douglass Hill, in de-
fault of the payment of a promissory
note for S20,117 secured by deed Of
trust covering the entire property claims
and appurtenances, was restricted few
minutes before the time of sale by an
injunction obtained by Patrick Phillips,
q shareholder, on the ground Of irregu-
larity in issuing the deed of trust.
1t was a complete surprise to all the
prospective purchasers assembled. as
the sale had been advertised thoroughly
for long time.
The Carson Creek, or adams mine,"
as it is sometimes called, is five miles
south Of Angels and has given employ
ment to a large number of men in the
past, who will probably be thrown out
of employment on account of the pend
ing litigation.

in regard to the question of sending re-
lief supplies to the gold seekers in the
Klondike country, should the investiga-
tions now being made by Captain Ray
of the army show such measures to be
necessary. The two gentlemen were in
consultation with Secretary Alger the
greater part of the evening.
Secretary Alger said tonight that
nothing final had been determined upon
and that nothing would be until re-
port had been received from Captain
Ray. His report Is expected here about
the middle of October. An important
matter upon which Secretary Alger es-
pecially desired the opinion Of Messrs.
Weare and Cudahy was the feasibility
of locomotive sled designed to draw
logs and other material over the earth
This has been in successful operation in
the logging camps in Wisconsin, and it's
adaptability to this work influenced. the
secretary to believe that it might BE tut
into operation in Alaska if relief meas
ures be necessary. The representatives
of the trading company expressed the
opinion that the sleds might be feasible
for the purpose contemplated.
Messrs. Weare and Cudahy say there
are ample provisions for 5000 men for one
year at ST. Michaels, and they believe
that if found necessary the sleds could
be used to transport the supplies to
Dawson City during the coming winter.
THE ARCTIC WINTER
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia spe-
cial to the Call from Hal Hoffman, dated
Juneau, September 18th, says:
The first snowstorm of the season
swept over the mountains last night,
which is an indication that the same
thing is likely to recur at any time or
continue steadily Small boats which
arrived here today from Skaguay bay
report that the snow fell one and a half
feet deep on Skaguay trail. This means
that further progress cannot be made on
that trail by the staggering thousands,
and that the establishment of winter
quarters must be begun quickly where
not already under way. The slippery,
sliding snow will render it almost i'm
possible to make any progress worth
attempting, to say nothing Of the drifts
that pile up from the winds. This snow
storm may be said to. stop further pro-

KANSAS LAW
Supreme Court Invited to Mind It's
Own Business

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 19.-The little
city of Erie, in Neosha county, in re-
turn to an alternative writ of mandamus
filed in the supreme court, suggests that
the supreme court of Kansas ought to
mind it's own business. Several years
ago David Wilson obtained a judgment
against the town for $4,000. He was never
able to collect it, and when he died c. ].
Phelps, an administrator, endeavored
to collect the amount. Instead, City At
torpey c. A. Cox has replied to the su-
preme court alleging that the city has
already levied all the taxes allowed by
law; that it has scarcely enough to pay
it's regular expenses, and closes with this
remarkable statement: "That the court
from which said writ of mandate is is
sued had no taxing powers conferred
upon it by law and can impart none to
said defendants mayor and councilmen
of the city of Erie, and has no jurisdic-
tion to coerce the levy of taxes specified
in the mandate"
