FEAR TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.
Danger of Much Sickness Thru Wet
Cellars at Dubuuue

Dubuque, July 81 Dubuque is in
some danger of a typhoid epidemic. the
cause-wet cellars. Terrific downpour
of rain during this season has filled
hundreds of the city cellars and the
water has not as yet been dried out. A
wet cellar is certainly productive of
disease. A prominent physician says
that residents whose cellars are in a
dampened condition should at once
take every precaution and have the wa
ter removed and the cellars given a
good thorough airing and drying.
Should the citizens whose cellars are
damp take immediate precaution much
sickness may be avoided. Many of the
cellars in the down town districts are
wet and even those in the hill districts
are in an unhealthy condition.

MET TERRIBLE DEATH.
Farmer Named Thomas lmpaIed on q
Pitchfork.

Sand Springs, July 31.-A we'll known
Delaware county farmer named Thom-
as, who resides on farm about two
miles west of Sand Springs, the first
station on the Farley division Of the
c.. NJ. & st. p, east of Monticello, met
with most horrible accident while
working in the hay field on Friday af-
ternoon last, from the effects of which
he died in great agony Tuesday after
noon. Mr. Thomas and his son We're in
the field loading hay with a hay loader
attached to the wagon. After the load
ing was completed Mr.. Thomas pitched
his hay fork down at the end of the
loaded wagon and he himself descended
for the purpose of detaching the loader
The fork had lodged in such manner
as to come in contact with the unt
fortunate man, with the result that
the handle of the fork protruded thru
the rectum into the bowels for a dis
tance of sixteen inches. Altho in great
agony Mr.. Thomas succeeded in ex-
tricating the fork before his son came
to his rescue.

Estimated at $1,Ooo.o00.

Dallas, July 31.-The only ray of hope
which penetrates the gloom of the flood
situation were weather reports which
predicted fair skies. and the fact that
the Rrazos river at Waco is falling
again. The railroads tied up worse
than ever before in the history of the
state and in many places such heavy
rains never have been experienced. 1t
is estimated that the damages to the
international and Great Northern rail-
roads will reach 100000 and that road
is not the worst sufferer. Six lives lost

in the San Marcos valley and one at

formidable character. judging from ar

into $4,000 shares of preferred and $780,
pUo OF common.
AS the above named iucorporators
hold but fifty shares each it is evident
that they are simply acting as agents
for the financiers who are ready to lock
horns With the Morgan Hill syndicate.
This is further borne out by the fact
that the holders of the preferred stock
are to elect the directors, and thus have
full control of the management of the
corporation. The plans We're carefully
guarded. and they did not become
known to outsiders until the paptrs

time all the ncorporators connected
with the Commercial Trust Company

could be found last night in Jersey City
to explain in detail the objects of the

pose of the company in the articles of

A Naval Proceeding.

SnlcdSO, July o1."1HG July OdlS
deal was brought to sudden check
yesterday, when for the first time in
history members of the board of trade
were enjoined by the courts from run
ming a corner
The injunction, a temporary one, was
issued shortly before noon by Judge
Chytraus, but so thoroughly were the
facts concealed that it was not unit!
after Change hours that the members
of the board generally heard of 1t. Then
there was excitement from one end of
the building to the other.
The bill on which the injunction was
issued was filed by Linden Evans in the
interest of Waite, Thorburn & Co., the
defendants being William II. Bartlett,
II. p. Frazier, II. H. Peters, Herbert
Rycroft, A. G. Pierce, Darlington, Pat
ten & Co., James A. Patten, the Chi
cago board of trade, William S. War
rem, and Joseph Bidwill. The last
named is the chief grain inspector.
The bill filed by Waite, Thorburn &
Co. is an elaborate document. 1t begins
by setting forth that in May last the
complainants sold to Bartlett, Frazier &
Co. $4,000 bushels of standard oats for
July delivery. to James A. Patten 5000
bushels and to Darlington, Patten & Co.
5000 bushels. Under the amended writ
these three specific trades are the only
open ones in July oats Snyolved.
The margin rule of the board of trade
is next recited. and the claim made that
the complainants have deposited in the
Bank of Montreal margin bank. Sc
curities for margins up to 20 cents on
49, yy-1oi
ue of the same does not exceed 35 cents.
A consp piracy between the defendants.
excepting the board of trade and In
spector Bidwell to corner July oats is
then alleged, and the statement made
that oats have been so cornered and
the price raised thereby to over 20
cents.
Mr. Patten, the complainants say, on
July 90 admitted buying July oats at 10
cnets and selling ten cars at 53 cents to
New York the equivalent of As cents In
Chicago.
The bill alleges the defendants have
bought more July oats than possibly
could be delivered to them, and that one
of the defendants, Mr.. Patten, admitted
he knew the complainants could not de-
liver the oats sold him by them in May
last.
One section of the bill charges In
spector Bidwill with fraudulently re-
quiring. for standard oats. grade
above the requirements of the board OF
trade rules, which has prevented large
quantities of oats from grading.
The bill concludes with a prayer for
relief against either being called for
NOR margins or from suffering loss
thru trades being closed out under
board of trade rules.
Explaining their action, Waite, Thor
burn & Co. said:
Attempts to squeeze the trade have
now become so extreme and unscrup-
ulous that it has become high time for
some one to make a fight and find out
where the trade stands, and whether 1t
is to be for all time possible for groups
of millionaires to turn upside down the
grain business of the country and in
tict heavy losses on the trade"
