ASKS TO COMPROMISE
OLD BANKRUPTCY CASE.
Trustee Believes Verdict VIII he
Hard to Secure in Missouri.

trustee BeIteNes verdict VIII lie
Hard to Secure in Missouri.
Mr. ]. G. Pace yesterday filed a mo-
ton in the United States court ask
ing that the court allow him to COM
promise a long-standing suit growing
out of the bankruptcy proceedings of
H. U. Williams. The motion is made
on the grounds that such a compro-
mise will be for the best interests of
the bankrupt estate, while to continue
the iIugation would mean much ad-
ditional expense.
The litigation arose from the fact
that the bankrupt had made a prefer
ment, in that he had paid $500 to the
Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Com
pany of St. Louis, Mo. The court here
directed the trustee to bring suit to
recover. Action was at once Instituted
in the United States District Court at
st. Louis and a verdict for 5000 Sc
cured. An appeal was taken to the
Circuit Court, and the lower court re-
versed.
Steps were taken to renew the liti-
cation when the st. Louis shoe COM
pany made a proposition to compro-
mise. They offered to pay the estate
500 and the expenses of Mr.. Pace and
his assistant to st. Louis during the
first litigation. 1t is this compromise
which Mr.. Pace believes to be for the
best interest of the estate. as he is
of the opinion that a verdict will be
hard to secure. He therefore petitions
the court to grant him the necessary
power to effect the compromise.

SOUTHWEST LIMITED"

The Chicago Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway Company owns and
operates the sleeping cars in SER
vice on it's various lines, and has
just inaugurated an innovation
which will appeal to all sleeping
car travellers.
On it's Southwest Limited"
trains between Chicago and Kan
sas City white counterpanes or
bed-spreads have replaced the
heavy wooden blankets which
have heretofore been in evidence
twelve months in each year,
much to the discomfort in hot
weather of sleeping car patrons.
Blankets will be held in re.
serve and within reach for cool
nights.
This innovation is calculated to
not only add to the comfort of
passengers, but it will appeal to
all who like a bed that is inviting
in appearance.

EARLY DAYS OF RA1LRoAD1NG.
Orders Of Fast Lines in Former Gays
Are Good Reading.

Few persons in these days OF
mile-a-minute travelling realize
the immense changes which have
taken place in railroad travelling
in the last half century, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. In the old days,
especially before the use Of tele.,.
graph train orders, the fastest
passenger trains travelled at u
pace. which would make even a
Brooklyn trolley car blush to-day.
The superintendent of one of the
great trunk lines running out of
New York recently ran across a
copy Of one Of the first train or
ders ever issued on his line. 1t
reads: !,
"Freight trains will in all cases
wait for passenger trains and for
milk trains, and be kept entirely
out oftheir way, never leaving the
station on the time Of a passenger
train, unless IN positive Informal.
ton received from it. The rate
Of speed is IA miles per hour for
freight trains, and enginemen of
freight trains are not at liberty
to make up for delays by increas-
ing the speed beyond this rate"
"The freight train which is be.
hind time will move at a walk
when it approaches the road time
OF a coming freight train and I'M
til the train has been passed; al.
though the parties in charge of
both trains will be responsible for
any kind of neglect Or want Of
caution, it will be more particu-
larry the duty Of the train which
is behind time to be on the look
out, from 20 minutes before the
time and point where it should
meet the approaching freight
train, unless it passes it, and to
keep a man then ahead with a rcd
flag or a red lantern, as the case
may be, some distance before an.
preaching curves, Until the ap.
preaching freight train has been
met.
"Where trains happen to meet
between stations, the train which
is the most behind time will back
to the next station, unless it shall
have already passed over two.
thirds of the distance between
stations, in which ease the other
train will back up. The decision
OF the conductor of the train
which is nearest to the time will
rule where there is a difference of
opinion. When both trains are
equally behind time the train
nearest the turnout will back up.
Conductors will act promptly
and in a forbearing spirit when
they differ under such circum-
stances, never OBTAINING trains on
the road. When one party in.
sists the other will give way and
report afterward the circum.
stances of the case"
Imagine giving such orders to
the conductors and engineers of
the Empire state express or the
PENNSYLVANIA limited!

SULLY'S PLAN IS DECLINED
NOT ACCEPTABLE TO CREDITORS
 AFTER ALI.
involuntary Petition in Bankruptcy Flied Against :scotson Kings" Firm Henry. " Taft and David nriiier A p- pointed Trustees -rIarKet Goes Down Seventy Points.

New York, March 22.-There were three important developments in the Sully situation to-day. First, it be- came known that the creditors, would not accept the plan of settlement pro- posed by Mir. Sully. Second, an invol- untary petition in bankruptcy was filed against Daniel J. Su1ly & Co, the assigned cotton firm. by creditors. Third. Henry W. Taft and David Mill CT were appointed by Judge Holt in place of the assignee, Joseph H. Hoad-i icy.
 These developments are regarded in Wall street as presaging greater trouble in settling the affairs of the firm than was indicated in MT. Sully's recent op- timistic talk about resuming iil four days. It is now believed that a long siege Of litigation is in view, having as it's object the smoking out of a num- Der of moneyed men who backed Sully' S operations up to the time of his failure, but who now refuse to contribute to- ward the settlement.
 The market to-day showed the effect of the news by breaking seventy points.
 There was no doubt as to the gloom that was settling over the exchange at noon. The members had come to a realization of the fact that the failure had left the market in a more serious condition than was at first supposed. Brokers estimated that more than $2,- 000,0 of the liabilities of MT. Sully's company was tied up among some twenty or more operators on the floor of the exchange in small Jumps of $100,- 900 or $20O,0cO The working capital of many of these firms is. not more than $2O0, 900, and their operations are at a standstill until they can get a settle ment.
 Many rumors of suits to be started were abroad among the downtown of fees and much significance was put in the intelligence from Philadelphia that Frederick Zerega had obtained a for eign attachment against Sully & Co.

STATE CARPENTERS
TO stand by Waterbury nren in Demand
 for Increased Wages.

Waterbury, March 22.-The annual convention of the State Association of Carpenters and Joiners, which has been in session here for two days, came to a close at 4;SO this afternoon, the election of officers going over for one year when it will occur in New London. The feature of the day was the action of the association in voting to stand by the Waterbury local union in any action it may take on the wage scale question, and at the same time censuring that body for not insisting on higher scale. While Waterbury contractors are paying as a rule $S q day, the rate paid in other Connecticut cities is $2.SO, and the state organization believes the higher figure should be incorporated. High officials in both the association and the local union say that they think there will be no trouble.

CHICAGO MAN c0NFESsES FRA UD
 INCLAIMING BODIES.
Did So to Get Posssssion of vaiuabiss Found on Them After Iroquois Di,- a.tsr-rmp,ieatss Another man Who ciatmed to be a Physician.

Chicago, March 22.-A gruesome plot to get valuables found upon victims of the Iroquois fire was admitted to the police to-day by John Mahnken, who was arrested several days ago, accused of seeking to get possession of the body of Mrs. Amelia Mueller, of Milwaukee, and also that of Mrs. Frank R. Green wald. On Mrs. Mueller's body was $4oO. On Mrs. Greenwald's fingers were sev- eral valuable rings.
 Mahnken's story duplicates man who claimed to be d physician and who Is said to have been implicated in sev- eral life insurance swindler. Mahnken's confession is in the hands of the police. T visited Jordans undertaking estab- lishment,' he said, and cried as real as any person would that had lost a dear relative. I identified the body and sheet was placed over it. Later was informed that the body had been positively identified as that of Mrs. Mueller, of Milwaukee. Another body was marked '34 and l identified that one, and it was laid aside. I went then to where the unclaimed valuables were taken, and there I broke down again and wept. Then we buried the body at Elmwocd. It was later identified by MT. Greenwald as that of his wife, and was disinterred and reburied''

SEATS FOR PASSION MUsron
saIe Predicted -nIany Out-of-Town Orders

Seats for the great performance of the Passion Music" to be given by the Oratorio society in Woolsey hall on Tuesday next go on sale this morning at the music store of M. Steinert & Sons, TT Chapel street. The sale will open promptly at o'clock and the en- tire hall will be reserved The prices for seats are soc, S1 and $150. While the management does not ordinarily in- tend to depart from popular prices for these concerts, yet in this instance the event is of so unusual a character and the scale of preparations so exten- sive and elaborate that slight advance on a small portion of the seats has been necessary.
 In response to many inquiries it may be stated that the soc seats are largely located in the second balcony and the $1 seats on the main floor and first balcony. It is but fair to say that the numerous out of town orders already received will not be selected until after the 9 o'clock line has been served. All who expect to attend this concert are advised to make an early application for seats as from present indications the demand will be exceptionally large.

BAER WOULD PUT UP COAL
WISHES TO BREAK FROM POL
 ICY OF TWO FEARS.
All the Coal Carrying Roads Except the Reading wnlsng to Observe Former Rate-This is s4 50 Per Ton Wholesale on April I-Haer Would Maintain It as s5.


 New York, March 22.-The coal rates for the summer were issued yesterday by all the coal-carrying roads except the Reading. It is now reported that there is disagreement between President Baer of the Reading and Presidents Truesdale of the Lackawanna and Thomas of the Lehigh valley. The last named two desire the discount policy observed for two years by all the rail- roads. This gives the operators an op- portunity to mine anthracite coal dur ing the summer months, and under it the wholesale price of coal per ton is reduced from $5 to $4.50 on April 1. Then each month there is an increase of 10 cents per ton until the price returned to the $5 schedule on September
 President Baer is reported to be op- posed to any reduction in the wholesale price this summer, and as a compro- mise is understood now to be willing to submit to a reduction of 25 cents, which will make the wholesale price $4.75 on April 1. instead of s45O, which would be more satisfactory to the mine opera tors. Their influence with the presi- dents of the other carrying railroads may defeat President Baer's compro- mise proposal. Meetings are being held to discuss the subject.
