ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Shots Fired at six Men on a Locomo
tive Coming From an Anthra-
cite ColIiery.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, June 13.-Wednes-
day night, as Division Superintendent
Thomas Thomas, an engineer, fire
man, conductor and two brakemen
were coming from the William A.
colliery OF the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company on a locomotive, unknown
men opened fire when the engine was
about 800 yards from the breaker.
The occupants Of the locomotive had
been expecting such an attack and
they speedily got out Of range by
dropping to the floor OF the engine
tender. The locomotives throttle
hsd been pulled wide open by the en-
glneer and the men were soon out of
range Of the shooters. The engine
and tender were pretty we'll marked
up by the bullets and buckshot and
the window panes Of the cab were
broken. AS far as can be learned the
Lehigh Valley officials do not know
who the men under cover were, but
rigid investigation is being made.
The mine workers officials have
been making a strong effort to have
the strikers at Duryea and vicinity
prevent any violence. Several men
have been sent there to talk to the
strikers, and yesterday afternoon DIS.
tTict President T. d. Nichols went
himself to see what he could do. 1t is
likely that he will be able to put a
stop to the demonstrations that have
been going on there during this week.

OWNED BY CATHOLIC CHURCH.
But Porto Ricon Governor Has No
Authority to Turn Over Prop
erty-Legisiation Wanted.

/. Washington, June 13.-Bishop
Blenk, of Porto Rico, called at the
state department yesterday to consult
with Solicitor Penfield respecting GER
tain converts and conventual lands
in Porto Rico. 1t appears that there
were two converts, one valued at
100000 and the other at $4,000,
with lands of the value of 100000, in
the possession of the Spanish govern
Inent when the United States as
suIned control over Porto Rico.
The Catholic church claims these
converts and lands, and it is under
stood that the governor of Porto Rico
regards the claim as equitable, but is
without authority of law to turn over
the property, which is now in his pos.
session, to the church. Therefore
Bishop Blenk is seeking legislation
at the hands of congress to straighten
out the title to the property.

The COURTS TO seville II.
Pennsylvania Railroad and Western
Union Preparing For a Legal
Battle.

Pittsburg, June ia great lawsuit
will probably result from the sever
ing of relations between the Pennsyl-
yania railroad and the Western Union
Telegraph company at the end of the
present year. The lawsuit which
threatens will be over the ownership
OF the lines which have been operated
jointly by the two companies for
more than 80 years. Ever since the
two corporations have been affiliated
the work of construction has been
carried on by the telegraph company
while the railroad company has fur
nished the rigAt of way.
Both parties have been claiming
TIE lines since the railroad has mott.
fed the telegraph company that il
must quit the knes at the end of the
year. The railroad claims that as the
.iue is on their property it belongs to
them, and that the telegraph com
pany is entitled to nothing but an &C
counting for the material used. The
telegraph company claims the lines
as its Own, and alleges that the rail
read company can only use them for
the operation OF trains during the life
of the contract.
The suit, which will likely BE
brought in the United States courts
VIII be entered promptly after the ex
piratioR of the contract. The railroad
company will probably continue to
use the liRes after the time limit has
expired, and this will necessitate the
telegraph company's bringing suit
ard becoming plaintiff. Attorneys are
already beginning to get ready for
the fray. The railroad company il
Tot only preparing for the lawsuit
but has made arrangements with the
Postal Telegraph company to take
hold of the lines on Dec. 81 and oper
ate them as did the Western Union
The change will make little difference
to the men who work the wires. as
nearly all of them are paid by the
railroad company.

N. Y, to restrain the company from
retiring 100000, 900 of preferred stock
and issuing bonds instead. Today the
constitutional points raised in the

was done in the present case.
The bill denies that it was ever
the intention of the defendant corpor-
alton or its officers to make the new
bonds convertible into common stock

the directors in retiring the preferred
stock was voted upon and assented to
by nearly all the capital stock of the
