DRIVEN TO CANNIBALISM.
Story of Suffering and Death on tho
Yukon Trial.

Yukon Trial.
CIRCLE CITY, Alaska, May %. "a
SAN FRANCISCO. June ia story of
possible cannihaiIsm and death on the
Yukon trail has Just reached here.
Three men who left Dahl river on De-
cembcr S. for JImtown, were not heard
OF again and they were supposed to
have been lost. Nothing was heard of
them here until the steamer Ridout,
which arrived to-day, brought terri
BILE tale of suffering and horror.
The men were Michael Daily, Victor
Ediar and NJ. Provost. They were from
Providence, r. l., Woonsocket, r. T..
and Brockton. Mass, respectively.
Their bodies We're discovered seventeen
miles from the mouth Of Oid Mans
creek. they having lost the trail and be-
come bewildered. Having left Dahl riv-
er with only three weeks food, but
which was amply sufficient for the $50
miles to Jtmtown, they were soon re-
duccd to starvation.
Days body WIS found partly eaten,
on the stove in the tent, Just as It was
left when death overlook the others.
Some scraps or moose hide and n1occa-
sin were found. Of which they were en-
dearoring to make a stew. Daly's body
was Identified by the clothes. The other
two men were found dead five miles
away from the tent. The fact Of the
tent flaps being shut down when found,
would seem to preclude the possibility
Of Daiy's body having been eaten by
animals. The other men were doubtless
driven by hunger to the awful cxtrern-
ity Of cannibalism. Four hundred dol
lars were found on the bodies.

FEDERAL STEEL COMPANY
Enjoincd From Paying Dividends on
the Common Stock. "

the Common Stock.
PHILADELPHIA, Pn., June 1p.-In
chancery chambers at Camden, N. j.,
to-day, attorneys for Walter r. Kern,
of this city. filed q bill to restrain the
Federal Steel Company from paying
any dividend on the common stock ut
present. and especially to restrain tho
company from paying the quarterly div
idend Of one and one-half per cent on
the common stock that the directors
declared on June 1e, payable July 20. z
Kern holds $500 OF preferred stock.
The vice chancellor granted tens
porary Injunction against thcspayment
or any payments on the common stock
until the further order OF the court,
and ordered the Federal Steel Company
to show cause In the court OF chancery
at Camden, on July 3, why a permanent
injunction should not be issued re-
strainlng absolutely the payment of
any and oil dividends on the common
stock until after the close of the pres-
ent fiscal year. 25H
In the bill Mr.. Kern states that the
charter OF the company provides that
the holders OF the preferred stock ahall
be entitled to receive non-cumulatlye
dividends at the rate Of, buN not ex-
ceeeding SIX per cent per nnnum, for
the fiscal year. beginning january /,
le99.- and that this dividend must be
paid in preference to any dividend on
the common stock during this year.
He asserts further. that the charter
provides that the common stock shall
be subject to the prior rights Of the
holders OF the preferred stock, and that
the dividend on common stock cannot
be paid until after the close Of the fls
cal year, ending December 81, 1899, and
then out OF the surplus profits that
then appear to have been made by the
corporation. The bill allegesAthat the
existence OF a surplus OF not profits
cannot be ascertained until the end OF
the year, and that any declaration or
ATTEMPTED payment Of any dividend
upon the common stock before the end
OF the year is lnnnifestly contrary 10
the terms Of the company's charter md
detrimental to the rights Of the pre-
fcrred stockholders.
Mr., Kern's counsel stated in court
that every effort had been nndc to OBJ
tain u copy of the resolution adopted by
the directors ordering the dividend.
but that tney he'd been unsuccessful.
and the information regarding the text
OF the resolution was, therefore, based
on newspaper reports. He also ASSERT
ed that holders OF s46.O 900 OF the pre-
ferrcd stock join with Mr.. Kern In Che
issue. 80
The capital stock Of the Federal Steel
Company is $200600.000, one-half pre-
ferred, the other half common stock.
