Chicago, April q. Litigation
AGAINST the National Linseed Oil COM
pany was revived in the United States
circuit court yesterday when the ap-
pointment of a receiver was asked by
stockholders having 1900 shares Of the
capital stock of the company. The
complainants are James Clark OF
Plainfield N. j., Walter II. McCann
of Des Moines and ]. w. Brooks, Henry
B. Scott and William w. Baldwin OF
Burlington. The American Linseed
company. which holds most of the as
sets of the former concern, is not made
a party to the suit The petitioners
ask, on behalf of themselves and the
other stockholders of the concern, that
the court take the case of the National
company under its control and appoint
a receiver to administer and distribute
the assets remaining ever since the
National company was bought out by
the American Linseed company a few
years ago.
The defendant company went out OF
business at the time its property was
purchased. but the cOmplainants assert
that there are still some outstanding
accounts, amounting TO about 100000,
which will be lost unless a receiver
is placed in charge. II is also claimed
by the petitioners that the stockhold-
ers have a right to the money, ag-
grosating about $130,000 said to have
been lost by the president and diree-

Bayard Memorial Association
Makes an Appeal For
Funds

Howell s. England, secretary of the
Bayard Memorial Association, is dis
hibutlng the following self-explana-
tory letter:
Wilmington, Del. April 26, 1900.
Dear Sir; At a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Bayard Memorial
Association, held in this city on the
18th instant, the secretary was direct
ed TO send ont a circular letter to
each member Of the Bayard Memorial
AssOciating informing him that the
treasurer, Robert G. Harman, is now
prepared TO receive all contributions to
the Bayard memorial fund. and to re-
quest that each member Of the associ-
alton send to the treasurer, at the
earliest possible date, 500, collected
from his friends, in addition TO what
ever contribution he may feel able and
willing to make personally. The presi-
dent, at the same meeting, was en-
powered to employ a collector to can
vass the state for funds. 1t is very de-
sirable that the voluntary contribu-
tions made by the members of the as
ISOLATION should be made before said
collector is sent out.
Thanking you in advance for your
prompt compliance with the request
OF the executive committee, l am,
yours very truly,

TELL THESE
MEN THE TRUTH
Attempts to Deceive Census
EnumeratOrS Will be
Punished

When the work OF taking the
twelfth census of manufactures is be-
gun, Wilmington manufacturers will
be expected to answer a lot Of ques-
tions. This does not imply that the
work will cover any extended period
Of time, for it is the object Of the Cen
sus Bureau that the task of taking
the manufacture census shall be fin
ished in the shortest possible time.
The qualifying of enumerators for
this special duty will be taken up in a
few weeks by Special Agent Cook and
another agent to be appointed. Many
applications for the position have been
received. The appOintees will be re-
quired to I'll out sample schedules, and
upon their ability to do this satisfac-
torily will rest their recommendation
for appointment
Mr.. Cook and his assistant, who will
make a quick, sharp campaign. He
does not anticipate any difficulties be-
ing thrown in hiE and hopes that
every business man win do all he can
to aid the work. The answers they
give the special enumerators regarding
their business will be held absolutely
confidential. and should any of the
agents disclose the information 50
gaind they make themselves liable tc
severe penalty. On the other hand
should the agents be given false infor-
nation, or are wilfully refused it, bust.
ness men lay themselves open to thg
charge of misdemeanOr, for which ths
punishment prescribed is a fine Of s10
O00, to which may be added imprison
ment not exceeding one year.
On this point the act Of Congress, sec
%. Of March 3, 1899, says And ever.
president, treasurer, secretary. direc
tor. agent or other officer Of every cor
pOrauon, and every establishment o.
productive industry, whether conduct
ed as a corporate body, limited liabll
/ ity company, or by private individuals
from which answers to any Of thu
schedules, impurities, or satisfied in
terrogatories provided for by this ac
are herein required who shall. If there
to requested by the director, super
visor enumerator, or special agent
wilfully neglect or refuse to give trul
and complete answers to any inquiries
authorized by this act, or shall wilfull,
give false information, shall be guilt,
of misdemeanOr, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not exceeding
$4,000, to which may be added impris
onment fer a period not exceeding on'
year"
Manufacturers will be looked to L
enlighten the government as to whei
their establishments began operations
the character Of the firms operations
kind of goods made, capital invested
persons employed, amount paid il
wages, names Of proprietors, material
used, the kind purchased in raw stat
and in partially manufactured form
fuel used. etc.
Altogether it is a big undertaking
but Mr. Cook insists that when tn
work is over it will show sOmethin
vastly to the credit Of Wilmington.
Amos Cole will superintend the Ken
county census of manufactures, and a
agent to be appointed will do the Sus
sex work.

ITALIAN MURDERED
TO OBTAIN REVENGE

Hazleton. Pa. April 27--Joseph Mo-
ran. aged As years, an Italian junk
dealer, was murdered yesterday on the
public road between Ebervale and Drift
ton. After killing him his murderers
threw the remains into a mine hole
and set fire to the bushes surrounding
the place. The body was there discoy-
cred by two men who passed along the
highway. There was a bullet hole in
Moran's head and his throat was cut.
He left his home here in the morning
with horse and wagon to collect junk.
and had only So in his pocket which
he expected to pay out during the day.
AS the wagon was filed with rags and
iron when found standing about so
yards from the scene OF the murder It
is not supposed that the killing was
for money. but for revenge. He had a
number Of enemies among the Italian

THREE STRANGLE
In THEIR HOME
Father, Mother and Son the
Victims.
NOOSES ABOUT THEIR NECKS
Many Believe II a Triple Murder, But
Authorities Incline to Belief That
II Vas Suicide.

Cambridge. Md, April GA most
shocking tragedy was discovered at a
small farm seven miles from this city
yesterday. A German family, consist
ing of Carl Kernig his wife and son,
were discovered dead in their little
farm house. each corpse having a
moose about the neck. Strangulation
was probably the cause of death IN
each case.
John A. Tschantre, a jeweler of this
city, who owns the farm tenanted by
the Kernig family, visited the place
yesterday. Finding everything quiet
he entered the house and was shocked
TO discover the bodyof Mrs. Kernig tied
with a rope to a door knob The son.
Carl was suspended from a bedpost in
the same room, his body resting upon
the floor, while his head was held
tightly in a moose. In an adjoining
room the body of the elder Carl Ker-
mig was found hanging from hook.
From the decomposed condition of the
bodies it is thought the act must have
been committed several days ago.
AS far as known the last seen OF
either member of the family was on last
Saturday, when thelel Kernig came
to Cambridge and drew 5000 from the
bank. No trace Of this money could
be found yesterday. and the authorities
are Of the opinion that It was sent
west to relatives. A small sum OF
money was found in a purse in the
pocket of Mrs. Kernig Many are OF
the opinion that a foul murder has
been committed, but the authorities
think It suicide They point to the
statement Of neighbors 10 the effect
that each member Of the family was
known to have been despondent.

tors Of the National company at the
time they were speculating in fiaxseed
on the board Of trade.
This speculating, it Is claimed, was
done without the authority of the
stockholders of the company, and the
president and directors are charged
with the money lost in their deals. AZ
ter 1891, it is asserted, the company
ceased to make profits. but to keep up
appearances the alleged conspirators
are said to have declared false divi-
dend about 1895. The stockholders
were supposed TO be dissatisfied with
the management of the company at
that time and a promise of ! per
cent dividend was made. 1t is charged
that all the plants we're allowed TO fall
into disuse, and affairs were neglected
generally while the president and di-
rectors speculated. in 1898, at the time
these deals were being made on the
board OF trade, the National company
is said to have been practically in
solvent. Notes aggregating $500, 600,
signed by the president, are said to
have been outstanding against the
company without the authority or

that time a circular was sent out,
representing that the stockholders
would deposit their stock with the

at Pretoria
HERR GRUNBERG A VICTIM
Most Important Of the POWder.making
Machinery Saved, But Manufacture
Of Ammunition Will be DELAYED

London, April 27.-The war office
publishes the following from Lord
Roberts dated Bloemfontein. April 26:
Gen. Ian Hamilton yesterday drove
the enemy off a strong position at
lsraels Poort by a well conceived
turning movement, which was admir-
ably carried out by Gen. Ridley, COM
mander of the Second mounted in
fantry brigade, and Gen. Smith-Dor-
len, commanding the 18th brigade.
These troops are today advancing to-
ward Thaba N'Chu. Our losses were
slight, only one yet reported-Maj.
Marshall, Grahamstown mounted
rifles, severe wound in the shoulder.
lsraels Poort, which is not marked
on the maps, lies between Sannas Post
and Thaba N'Chu. Gen. Hamilton has
probably by this time arrived at
Thaba N'Chu. as he is using mis- ut
most cldeavors TO cut of the Beers
who are retreating from De Vets
Dorp.
The Boer forces at Thaba N'Chu are
not unlikely to make a stand to cover
the escape of the conveys from the
southwark. They have laagers eight
miles apart, stretching from Brantfort
10 Thaba N'Chu with a base camp at
Samalldell station.
A report comes that a small force
OF British mounted infantry had a
brush with a party OF Beers ten miles
east Of Karee siding, who we're try
ing to establish a connection between
Brandfort and the Boer forces to the
southwark.
Otherwise there is no news beyond
the official dispatches of Lord Roberts
except belated details of recent oper.
ations. It appears that Gen. Brabrant
in the fight with the Beers at Wepener
had ? narrow escape. Gen. Pole.

streets added TO the ghastliness of thu
scene. Ten workmen were killed ant
80 injured, including Herr Grunberg

The cause Of the explosion is un
