Paterson. n. J., June 1.-Francis Ma
gill an empIoye of the Paterson Rail-
road company. fell dead in a car shed
at about o'clock last night He had
been working hard all day and overex-
ertion resulting in heart failure was at
first assigned as the cause of death Ma
gill was machinist- He complained
OF feeling tired and hot and went back
TO a tap for a drink of water, and it
was while he was at the sink that he
gave cry and fell back dead
The county physician ordered the
body sent to his home, thinking the
cold water had given him a fatal shock
Today he examined the body and found
evidence of electrical burns. while the
heart was in normal condition He
started an investigation with the aid of
Prosecutors Detective Shane His
questions addressed to the employees a

gilIs death was the result of a joke
played on him
Christopher AshfeId of 238 Liberty

electrical connections between one Of
the trolley wires, the sink and the metal
faucet, SO that when the water was
turned on the circuit would be closed
and anyone touching the stream would
receive a shock. They said that such

HEAVY LOSSES.
Government Has a Big Claim
Against Railroad Stock
holders.

The United States government is con-
templating bringing a suit against the
original stockholders in what is now the
Central Branch of the Union Pacific, or
that part of II which extends from
Atchison to Leavenworth. to collect
bonds to the amount of 81 600. 900 which
the government holds against the road
The question to be decided first is, can
the stockholders be held under an old
territorial law for the claims against
railroad
The road was first projected in 1859.
and was chartered as the Atchison &
Pixies Peak railroad Afterward the
name was changed to the Central
Branch of the Union Pacific The gov
eminent took a second mortgage on
the road as security for the payment of
its claim $40 600 of which was issued
TO the AtchisOn & Pixies Peak railroad
and the balance, nearly a million dol
lars. to the Central Branch
But payment was defaulted on the
first mortgage bonds and the road was
fOreClOSed- It was sold a year ago.
but did not bring enough to leave any
thing after the first mortgage was salts
fed, so that the government was left
10 whistle for its 81. 100000.
The road was originally chartered to
build from Atchison to the west line of
what was then Kansas territory. and it
was the intention to extend it through
TO Denver 6EeDGQdllE- out all that was
built under that charter was the pOr-
ton from Atchison TO Waterville.
Under the old territorial law, under
which the road was chartered, there
was a clause providing for the double
ability Of stockholders, including those
of railroads. Under the present state
law the double liability does not ex-
tend TO railroads, but it is doubtful if
the old territorial law was ever repeal
ed. and if not, it is contended that it
will still be in force against the stock
holders of the road on which claims
were made while the law was still in
force as a territorial statute.
Papers and citations have been for
warded by the department a I Washing
ton to United States District Attorney
Lambert, instucting him to investigate
the Kansas statutes and ascertain
whether or not the old territorial law
is still in force. If it is, the govern
ment will first obtain a Judgment
against the road on its bonds. and will
then proceed to hunt up the stockhoId-
ers and enforce its claims against them.

county against suits for the payment of
over $500. 900 of county bonds issued IN

finally declared unconstitutional through
the efforts of the plaintiffs.
The attorneys for the county claimed
that the federal jury had bean tempered

Topeka Truss Factory Has Not Been
Gobbled Up.

It has been rumored recently that the
latest Topeka industry to fall victim
to the trusts was the truss factory Of
the Smith company on Quincy street
The statement has been made that
the company was given the option of
accepting S140. 600 for the esta bIishment
or being crowded out of business, and
that it had decided to take the amount
offered
Today DR.. Clement Smith, one Of the
firm, stated that there is no truth in
the runor. He said the company has
never been approached by representa-
tives Of any trust or combine, and that
as far as he knows there is no cOmbina-
ton on the manufacture of trusses.
He said that within the past few
weeks a complete inventory of all stock
and fixtures has been taken. but that
il was done simply because it was deem
ed necessary and has nothing to do with
closing out the business
The company has been doing business
in Topeka for & number OF years and
has gradually built up a prosperous and
valuable plant. It employees q number
