One Party Attempts to Restrain An
other from Collecting Money.


Gustavus A. wurgler, through his at
torneys. Brown, Barrett, Bamberger d
Feibleman. yesterday brought suit against
Robert l.. King for 5000 damages, and
also against the City Council and city Off
Gals of Alexandria to restrain them from
paying any money TO King on a contract
for a sewer. Wurgler and King are part
ners in the plumbing business. the COM
plant set out, and Wurgler has been
curing contracts and profits.
1t is represented that some time ago,
King, who then lived in Alexandria, came
TO this city, and asked Wurgler to form
a partnership with him. King was already
a contractor. but IL is stated he desired
to engage in the plumbing business, and
TO do this successfully, told Wurgler he
wanted a practical plumber to join him in
establishing the business. 1t is asserted
Wurgler complied with the agreement, and
the firm began to do business under the
name of King & Wurgler. Contracts were
taken, but the one for constructing a
sewer in Alexandria, over which the suit
arises, differed from the others, il is al
legged, in that King had the contract made
in his name alone. and Wurgler was left
out. For these reasons, Wurgler says his
business in Indianapolis has been damaged.
and TO receive a portion of the money for
building the sewer he says 1t is necessary
TO enjoin the officials of Alexandria from
paying King until the matter is adjusted.
The case will be heard by Judge Carter, of
Superior Court, room No. 3, Saturday.

There is evidence on all sides that West
ern passenger rate affairs are being
brought UP to a point where rate wars and
manipulations will be reduced to a mini
mum. With the trunk lines strong in the
maintenance of rates, the Central Traffic
Association lines equally as much in earn
est and the Western Passenger Association
governing rates and arrangements In the
territory east of the Missouri river, the
Southwestern Passenger Association to ex-
ercise jurisdiction in the Southwest from
st. Louis and the newly.formed Transconti-
mental Passenger Association. with James
Charlton as chairman Of that most easily
manipulated tran~scontinental business,
there will be little excuse for passenger
earnings in the fields above spoken Of fall
ing below a profitable standard. The only
cloud over the situation is the two North
ern lines which are out of the fold-the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern
but, with strong traffic associations, what
ever trouble appears in that direction may
be met by the lines acting as a unit and in
this way conserving revenues by prevent
ing individual lines slashing on imaginary
competition. Chairman Charlton will have
his headquarters at Denver, in the center
Of the field OF the organization, midway be-
tween the Missouri river n the Pacific
coast. a point where he can take quick ac-
ton on any disturbance presenting itself.

RED MEMS GREAT N
Important Business Matters Are Con-
sidere by that Body.

The Improved Order of Red Men opened
it's thirty-second Great Council yesterday
morning In Masonic Hall at 8 o'clock.
There were about five hundred representa-
tives and past sachems present. After the
seating of the delegates the reports of Of
fcers were read and passed for approval.
The report Of Great Sachem K. NJ. Hord
showed that twenty-one new tribes were
instituted during the year, and the gain
in membership was 3,34s. making a total
membership in the State of about 24.OOO.
Attention was called to the gratifying
growth of the order. which in part was
thought to be due to the action taken last
year in excluding from membership liquor
dealers. Those already In the order were
not expelled, but many have dropped out
during the twelve months. The relief fund,
from which was drawn the expenses Of
burying the deceased members, showed an
expenditure of s55.SS4.75.
On motion the sum of 800 was appro-
priated for the benefit Of the Galveston
flood sufferers.

Council. died during the year.

The work of the afternoon was the con.
sideration of a large number of changes

which have been under consideration fol
several years, are not radical departures
but to make the laws applicable to the
order, the growth of which has been sc

At the meeting of general passenger
agents in Buffalo yesterday the committee
ON anti-scalping legislation made a lengthy
report reviewing the work done during the
year. In summing up. the committee con-
graduates the general passenger agents
upon the very general maintenance of
regular passenger fares and the adoption
of conservative methods for the conduct
of passenger traffic" The presence of
scalpers, the committee declares. is a con-
slant menace to the reduction of rates for
public gatherings, and continued: 1.-The
attempt to regulate ticket s~calping by
state legislation has not been and cannot
be wholly successful. The interstate char
acter of the business requires national leg
islation- We. therefore, respectfully urge
the continued cooperation OF all the in
terests in the efforts to secure an anti
scalping act by the Congress OF the United
States. and to this end We respectfully
recommend that this committee on anti
scalping be continued The report was
received and the committee continued.

PROPERTY INVOLVED.
On n Special Finding the Court Gives
a Judgment.

On the special finding in the suit of Harry
Milligan against the Equitable Life Insur-
ance Company. of New London. Conn,
Judge McMaster yesterday rendered a judg-
ment Of s1,139 for the plaintiff. Several
years ago Milligan purchased property on
Liberty street, just south of Washington
street. of the insurance company, for s16.-
500. The property was supposed to extend
10 the railroad, which cuts through the
back of the lots in that vicinity, but later
1t was learned that the deed was not good
for all the property TO the railroad. About
twenty-seven feet fronting on Liberty
street in the point near the railroad, and
also nine feet of the front of a large build
Ing on the property and thirteen feet in the
rear were cut off.
The court found that John l.. Marsee
owned the property twenty-five years be-
fore the transaction, and mortgaged ii to
the insurance company. The mortgage
was foreclosed. and in some manner the
piece of ground and end of the building
were left out of the deed. TIL discovery
was not made by Milligan until after the
sale.

NEW QUESTION PRESENTED.
IL Has a Bearing ON Building and
Loan Associations.

Judge feathers yesterday sustained the
demurrer in the suit of Ernest Crawford,
by his next friend, Aaron Crawford,
against the Fidelity Building and Savings
Association No. 4, for the appointment Of
a receiver. holding that the application
must come through the auditor of state
and that the court had not Jurisdiction In
the matter. The judge held that a remedy
was provided for a dissatisfied stakeholder
when insolvency or m-ismanagement are
charged, through the mediation of the
auditor of state, whose duty il is to in
vestigate such complaints. and If they are
s~ubstantiated ii is his duty TO
the appointment of a receiver. Crawford
alleged in his complaint that the company
was attempting to freeze out the small
stockholders.
A number of building and loan COM
panies have been thrown into the hands
OF a receiver upon similar petitions of ona
or more stockholders heretofore. but the
question raised in the demurrer was never
before presented.

In Preserving Time.

Now the atmosphere is loaded
With the yapors that arise
From the old preserving kettle
That is noted for its size
Mixed with fragrance or the spices
Is the odor OF The fruit
That Is being stirred and seasoned
To the point that makes IL suit
But there's trouble in the kitchen
When preserving time is on,
And there's testing OF the patience
In the trials undergone;
For the pairing and the seeding
Close attention then require.
And exact must be proportions
For the kettle on the FIRE.
Not a moment can be wasted
In the ordinary talk.
For one eye is on the kettle
And the other on the clock.
There's a fear Of sudden scorching
When the fruit begins 10 boil,
Which would ruin calculations
And make useless all the toll.
Weary grows the hand that's stirring
That big kettle OF preserves,
Flushed the face that Ger IL hovers.
Al high tension are the nerves.
Now and then the hubby enters,
Takes a glance and walks away,
Oft declaring his conviction
That such labor doesn't pay.
But at last the task is ended.
All the Jars are filled and sealed.
And when winter comes these daintles
AZ the meals Will be revealed.
And the man who raised objection.
And upon preserving frowned.
Will be mighty glad to eat them
When the snow is on the ground.
