two honorablcs and doctor, after a

One member of the tribunal stood out for
the scientific twins, but he was overborne
by a landslide of sentimental opposition,
and finally he disappeared, hiding his
identity.
William Moens, ex- Mayor of Cincinnati,
and Mrs Merrill. wife Of William w Merrill

Immediately protests began to come in
from the crowd, which did not know the

whose trappings were more elaborate.

Meetings Of the Steel Beam and Steel

the proposed cuts:
The reductions will put an end to thor
a step in the right direction. We do not
believe that any eItravagant expectations
are entertained by the great mill interests
of any very marked stimulating of the de-
mand. That is not looked forward to before
spring. But the trade is on a sounder basis.

A mass meeting was held at the Grand
Central Palace last night by the Building
Trades Alliance for the purpose of present
ing to the public its side of the labor
dispute.
District Attorney Jerome had been in
vited to be present but he did not show up.
Neither did Diamond Phil" Weinseimer,
whom he had lately had indicted. There
was no explanation Of the latter's absence,
to feel sore over it.
President Mason, who has just been
elected to succeed Weinseimer, acted as
chairman but he didn't make any speech.
The speakers were the leaders of the diff
ferent unions involved in the trouble and
they talked to crowd of about 1000, mainly
members of their own unions.
All Of them disclaimed responsibility for
the present situation and laid the blame
on the board of governors of the employ
ers' association, which they asserted had
stepped in and tried to supersede the arbi-
tration board appointed under the agree
ment OF a year ago.
Whenever any OF the members of this
board were mentioned there we're Kisses

there was a demonstration from three

CHICAGO TRACTION DEAL ON?
$50, 900, 900 SAID TO HAVE BEEN
RAISED TO FINANCE COMBINE.
Report Has 1t That Stock OF the Chica 30
City Railway Co. Is to he bought at
$500 q Share-Story Partly verified
Here-N Is Declared Premature.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-The excited buy
ing OF the local traction stocks has started
all manner Of rumors as to the traction
properties. The story that has found
the great est belief is that owing to the better
appearance of the franchise situation
the leading New York interests in the
companies have gone ahead with the ar
rangements for financing the combina-
ton of the surface lines according to plans
outlined many times in the last two years,
and have formed syndicate TO finance
the purchase of the City Railway and organ
ize new combined corporation.
The syndicate was said to have raised
$40, 900 900 to purchase the stock OF the
Chicago City. Railway Company at 500
per share The reports had W. W. Cur
ley and John S. Miller, attorneys for the
Union Traction Company, in conference
with the Eastern capitalists.
President Roach was said to be on the
way to join them, and Judge Grosscup
leaving last night TO help the combina-
ton along.
The plans under which the Chicago
Railways Company was formed some
time ago were supposed to be the basis
of the present move.
The Chicago dispatches in regard to the
$50 100000 syndicate for consolidating the
Chicago City Railway and the Union Trac-
ton Company, We're partly verified here
yesterday. In banking circles it is said
that the announcement is premature, but
that the merger of the two properties Ia
merely a matter of time. Nothing definite
can be done, however, until Judge Grosscup
has rendered his final decision in regard
to the franchise litigation.
A member of the firm Of II. B. Hollins
4 Co. said that the reports from Chicago
were true in substance, but the sum to he
raised will probably not be so much as re-
ported. Besides H. B. Hollins & Co., those
supposed to be interested in the syndicate
are j. p. Morgan d Co., Speyer d Co. and
Walter G.. Oakman of the Guarantee Trust
Company
President Roach OF the Chicago Union
Traction Company was here yesterday.
Judge Grossclp is also said to have come
to the city, and it was understood that
representatives of the railroads and the
banking firms in the proposed syndicate.

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Nov. 21.--What Is the
value of the service OF two good at
torncys to prosecute man for murder,
the trial occupying about nineteen
days? This is the question which is
now before the Franklin county dis
trict court brought by the firm OF AL
brook &c Lundy Of Eldora against Iar-
din county to recover for their ser
vices as assistants OF County Attorney
Mobiles In the famous Blydenhurgh
murder trial which was tried ut Eldora
ut the January term. The case was
transferred to the Franklin county
court and Is being tried before Il jury.
From u lawyers standpoint the
case Is most unique one and la at
tracing considerable attention among
the members Of the legal profession
and prominent attorneys from this
part Of the state are here in attend
ance at tho trial. Judge Richards. be-
fore whom the case Is being tried, is
the Judge before whom the murder
case Of Blydenburgh was held. With
the exception Of the county auditor and
county clerk Of Hardin county who
were used as witnesses to introduce
the records of their different Offices the
witnesses consist entirely OF members
OF the bar. Both members Of the
firm Of Albrook & Lundy testified for
the plaintiffs and County Attorney T..
II. Mallory, Attorney fl. s. Liggett,
Attorney j. Y. Luke OF Hampton. and
Attorneys Rodgers and Huff of Eldora
were used as witnesses.
Mallory testified that he considered
the services of lawyers Of the standing
Of Albrook and Lundy to be worth $50
per day for each man. Attorney HUFF
OF Eldora testified that $2b per day
was q large enough fee for such SER
vices, but when cross examined by
Albrook he would not go on record as
denying the fact that something over
a month ago he made the remark at
Eldora that he considered Albrook q
Lundy's claim n fair and reasonable
one. He said he could not remember
this.
IT Ia very uncertain whether or not
the plaintiffs can recover the amount
thew are asking from q jury. 1t Is
generally thought by the lawyers that
such thing will be difficult. For the
service which they performed Albrook
e Lundy are asking $1,2so.o4. This
figures out at about $3.50 per day Tor
each man, that is for time actually
spent In the trial of the case.
The case will probably be finished
by Tuesday.
