HOSE WAS FEARED NOT.
Power of Court, However, Stopped
 Railroads Work.

1suhIuuu b WQEk.
 Knoxville, Tenn, June 0.-Harriman had another lively episode in its railroad light today.
 The Cincinnati Southern and the Ten nessee Central are to enter that town and one injunction has already been issued preventing the Tennessee Central from continuing work at Indian Hollow, piv- otaf point Today the Tennessee Central served an injunction of the Hartman and Northeastern workmen, this route being operated by the Cincinnati Southern, stopping the men from crossing the grade of the Tennessee Central in the city of Hartman. This secopd. injunction was not serVed until it looked as if serious trouble would result
 A fire alarm was sounded when it was discovered that an attempt would be made to eross the grade of the Tennes- see Central and hundreds of citizens went to the scene and with the fire apparatus threatened to drown out the workmen, The water argument did not prevail, but when a Deputy Sheriff arrived with an order from Chancellor Mcdonnell of Chattanooga stopping the work, things quieted down. The Town Council held two special meetings today. At the first, resolution granting a right of way through Hartman to the Hartman and Northeastern Road was repealed At the second meeting the same right was grant ed to the Tennessee Central
 People favor the Tennessee Central for the reason that the Cincinnati Southern. has never entered the city. although short distance away. and 1t has been re- quested to enter many times. .----,

 Purposes.

Trenton, June 20.--Application was made by the Court of Chancery today by Andrew H. McNeaI, of Burlington. ". q, for the appointment of receiver for the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Found- ry Company.
 The company has fourteen plants throughout the United States, among them being several in Kentucky. Ohio and Alabama. The company was incor- porated about three years ago with an authorized capital of 80, ,000,000 to make cast iron pipe and foundry work.
 MT. McNeal in his bill of complaint charges extravaganza and mismanage ment in the operation of the business of the company. He further charges that the company has been operated more with regard to exploiting the company's stock in the stock market than for the practical utilization of ene cumpany's 8 works; that from it's organization in the spring of 1901, the company's manage ment was dominated by Gen. Samuel Thomas. whose principal occupation. Mo Neal says. was that Of promoter of companies and exploiter of stocks
 McNeal further charges that since the spring of 1901 the company was domi- mated by it's President. George B. Hayes. whose associates, he alleges, were finan- ciers and exploiters of stocks.
 It is averred that the plant at Buffalo IS operated at loss of $400,000 and that that plants at West Superior, Wis, Bridgeport South Pitsburg and Newport, Ky, were dismantled and rendered use- less. and that all of these plants were acquired at expensive prices. 1t is also charged that for the purpose of exploit ing stocks. statements to the public were published showing nearly q, ,000o0o surplus, which McNeal claims is not true
 In the Southern territory the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company has plants at Bessenler and An niston, Ala, and Chattanooga, Tenn. The Bessemer plant gives employment to sev- eral hundred men.
