Damage Suit.

Charles II. Brown has brought suit

ana me Jourueymen Union, Tor sIJ,-
OUU damages on account Oh an alleged
combination or plumbers trust, ny
WnICn Brown claims 10 be prevented
from getting any plumbers to work tor
him. The suit is a result of the recent
seI,iement OF the plumuefsl s,IuNv, an
agreement having been maze at the set
tlement that the JourneyInen would
work only for the mempeis OF the Mas
ters' Association, ana the latter would
employ none but members of the
association.
Brown declares that the agreement
is in violation of the act OF Congress
OF 1890, to prevent unlawful comuina-
tions in restraint of trade. lie was
voted out of the Masters Association
because he did not hold out against
the strikers but gave them the Sc per
day demanded. NOW he says ne cam
not JOIN the Association again, because
doing so would make him a party to
the alleged unlawtul trust.
When the strikers made a settlement
they thus left Brown, the only en-
pIoyer who had conceded their demands,
in the cold. HIS two empioyes left him.
though he still offered oU cents a day
more than the wages "iven by other
employees, and all the members of the
journeymen reed not to work for him

THINKS PLAGUE WILL SPREAD.
Physician Says VIII Sweep over United
States

MILWAUKEE,, July 2S.-Dr Walter
Kempster of this city, who was sent
abroad by the Harrison administration
to make "a study Of the bubonic plague,
agrees with DR.. John b. Hinty of In
dianapolis that the country will be
swept by the plague before long unless
extreme measures are taken to prevent
the scourge. The state board of health
also fears the spread of the plague
Dr. Kempster said today that the
way the officials at San Francisco from
Supreme Court judges down, had acted
was little short of criminal. The pla-
que had now fastened itself there and
had appeared in New York. and it was
only a matter OF a short time before it
would make its appearance in the in
terror of the country. The active steps
ought TO be taken to kill it.
DR., Wingate said the plague would
probably first make its appearance in
Chicago, and from there spread
throughout the surrounding cities He
said that Milwaukee would probably
get il through vessels on which the rats
would carry the disease. Like Dr.
Kempster he thought the seVerest
measures ought to be taken at once
with view of preventing the spread of
the plague IL possible.

be economically handled with
the class Of engines now in use.
Since early in the ore season all
ore trains have handled one
hundred tons in excess of the
rating during the season of 1900.
This has made il possible TO
handle a greatly increased vol
ume of business without any ad-
ditional equipment.
On the 4th inst. a train con-
sisting OF 80 one hundred thous-
and pound capacity steel ore
cars, was handled from Biwabik
TO Two Harbors with engine No.
IS, which is one Of the thirty r.
wheelers in the ore service. The
total weight of train, not includ-
ing engine and caboose, was
1855 net tons, 1894 tons Of
which was ore.
On the 10th inst, however, all
records for heavy trains on the
road were broken, a train con-
sisting of 81 loaded wooden ore
cars being handled from Biwabik
to Two Harbors with the same
engine. Including engine and
caboose the train was nearly
half a mile in length. Total
weight of train, not including
engine and caboose, was 3,427
tons, of which amount 2, 1893 was
ore.
The practicability Of handling
trains with tonnage approximate
ing that given above has not yet
been determined from an
economical operating standpoint,
but it seems apparent that with
possible grade reyisions, and the
use of a pusher engine where
the grade cannot be reduced SO
as TO enable an engine to handle
