WRIT DISSOLVED
BY CHANCELLOR
HEARING GIVEN IN ST. CLAIR
COUNTY ELECTION INJUNCTION.
NO APPEAL BOND is REQUIRED
BY THE COURT.

Judge James T. Greene of Admission was
in the city yesterday to argue motions to
dissolve the injunction and dismiss the
bill heretofore filed in the chancery court
of St Clair county enjoining Judge For
man from issuing election ballots unless
the names of the fusion candidates were
printed under the emblems of both the
republican and populists parties. Chan
eellor r. B. Kelly, before whom the hear
Ing was had, dissolved the Injunction
and dismissed the bill. Evidently the
chancellor did not think the bill had
sufficient merit to reinstate the injunc-
ton on appeal, hence prescribed no bond
IN case of appeal.
1t seems to be the generally accepted
opinion among the democrats in st. Clair
that the bill was filel for political effect.
Judge Forman will probably put the
names under each emblem. it is under
stood, as he had Asver refused to do so
after proper certificates of nominations
were filed

troll of the engineer. One of the cages
shot upward to the sieve at the top of

carrying the men to become overbal-
anced and it fell to the bottom. Those
who were not killed outright by the fall
were drowned In the stump.

dwelt at length upon what he termed
the policy of militarism of the Repub-

alone by imperialism, but that the
strengthening of the army was as much
for the purpose of capital enforcing its
demand on labor as anything else. He
characterized President Roosevelt as
a dangerous man because of his love
of power and warlike demonstration,
and unsuitable to be at the head of
a nation that wanted 20 be great in

CAR WORKS SHUT DOWN.
Pullman Company Closes Its Immense
Plant at Model City.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The immense
Pullman Car Works at Pullman were
shut down to-day and practically
every one of the company's 1000 en-
ployes is idle. The workmen were
told to take their tools with them
when they left the works and from
this they infer that a considerable
period of idlAuess confronts them
The closinS IF the big car works at
the "nodel city" came when the 1900
workers in the repair department were
laid off. That had been the only
branch of the plant in operation for
some time and its closing left not
more than 100 men at work, just
enough to put the finishing touches on
what little work remained on hand
and to keep the many buildings In
condition.
