LARCENoUs WATER PIPE.
Had Been Quietly Stealing the City's
Supply for Fifteen Years.

CHICAGO, September 5.-The House of
Lords stands accused of stealing water
from the city of Chicago for fifteen years
The water department has bill of SlO,9oO
to be collected In consequence. The House
of Lords referred to Is at the southeast
corner of Case and Erie streets here, and
was built as private residence by w. F.
Johnson, Chicago capitalist. 1t is one OF
the most pretentious structures In that
neighborhood and still belongs to his es-
tate.
After Mr.. Johnson ceased its use as a
residence It was leased by two sisters
named Lord and was turned into fash
ionabe boarding house, known-whether
on account of the name of the mistresses
or the character Of the boarders is not
stated-as the House of Lords" When
the Misses Lord quit, NJ F. Wright con-
Quoted the house, then l.. l.. Landin and
last May James Meehan, the present ten
ant, took charge.
A week ago, in uncovering a main in
Cass street, the city water department dis
covered an unrecorded four-inch water
pipe leading to the house Investigation
showed it fed the hydraulic elevator, which
is used to carry guests to any one of the
six stories and has been so used for hf-
teen years. Superintendent Harper of the
water department put a gauge on the pipe
and the figures showed the pipe carried
Just 81 worth of water a day.
The city ordinances provide penalty of
100 per cent for thus taking water with
out paying.
Who is responsible the city does not
know more than that some employe OF the
water office probably was accessory when
the connections were made.

BLASTS HARPER'S HOPES.
Blow to a Man Who Was Paying Back
Millions

NEW YORK, September J.-When the an
nouncement was made yesterday that re-
ceiver had been appointed for the Union
Iron and Steel Company, with offices in
this city, friends who recalled the remark
able financial career of Edward l.. Harper
said the failure would be a Geathblow TO
his hopes that he would yet pay off every
dollar of his $1,000, 900 indebtedness.
The company was the off-shoot OF
$50. OOO, 600 enterprise which Mr.. Harper
organized several years ago, and chief in
terest. in the announcement of its failure
centered in the fact that the concern was
under the management of Mr.. Harper, who
failed for millions years ago after a dis
astrous speculation in wheat His failure
carried down the Fidelity National Bank
of Cincinnati, of which he was president.
and whose funds he was charged with
using In his wheat corner. He was SEN
fenced to ten years In prison ana after
serving six years was released.
After engaging in several enterprises In
Cincinnati and IN the south after his re-
lease from prison. Harpers presence In
New York attracted attention In 100 by
the fact that Judgments amounting to So
$50 sS3 were entered against him. He took
the matter phlosophically and only last
year after unsuccessfully seeking re.4er
from a portion of this enormous burden OF
debt said it a mere tritie to him and
that he felt confident of paying II all on
in a few years with the profits from his
undertakings.

RIOTS IN ANTWERP
POLICE FIRE ON STRIKING DOCK
LABORERS.

ANTWERP, September 5.-The violence
of the locked-out dock laborers and of those
who went on strike in sympathy with them
has increased to serious proportions. AT
least a dozen persons including strike
breakers and members of the crews Of
steamers, were attacked Thursday and bad
ly wounded. The police charged repeatedly,
firing their revolvers at the rioters, who
dispersed only to reassemble again at some
other spot.
Many steamers are compelled to remain
inactive here on account of the threats of
the rioters, who have wrecked parts of the
machinery of one vessel. the Malatanbron,
and who boarded the steamer Lysgravel
and maltreated her captain. AS the COLI
sons between the police and rioters conttn-
ued, the militia were ordered to meblllze
tomorrow, and gatherings Of more, than
five persons were forbidden.
The strikers continue to terroriZe the
city. They killed a policeman and several
children were wounded from the indtscrim-
mate shooting. Matters reached such
pitch tonight that the authorities were
obliged to send out a drummer to summon
the militia. At the same time reinforce
ments of gendarmes are coming in from
the surrounding country.
AT nightfall detachment of forty police
men charged a gathering of turbulent strlk-
ers with drawn sabers. They swept every
thing before them and the strikers scat
tered and fed in panic In other parts
of the city strikers overturned trucks con-
tanning bales of cotton and other goods,
which they burned.
The docks of the Red Star Line of steam
ers are outside of the disturbed districts
and have, therefore, not been attacked
The situation is declared to be fully as
serious as that which prevailed at the time
of the famous strike of 1900.
Hamburg Tugboat Strike Settled.
HAMBURG, September 5.-Negotiations
between the Harbor Employers Union and
the committee of tugboat crews on strike
having come to a favorable end, and
number of minor concessions having been
made to the strikers, work was generally
resumed Tuesday morning. The new agree
ment made between employers and en-
ployes will remain in force until April, 1909.

$40 PREACHER REvoLTs.
Tells His Philadelphia Congregatio
What he Thinks of Them.

PHILADELPHIA, September 5.-His sal
airy being only so a week. the Rev. E.
w. Middleton, pastor Of the Tioga Re-
formed Church, at Park avenue and West
moreland street. has revolted and resigned.
He says he has three reasons for leaving
monetary. moral and p-ovidential,
DR.. Middleton told his congregation what
he thought of them last night at a special
meeting called to consider his resgna-
ton.
There are persons in this congregation"
he said, who do not know the meaning
of the words responsibility and obligation
They have taken upon themselves the con-
firmaton VOW, but they attend services
indifferently.
Some of the elders, who are supposed to
be counselors Of the minister on all occa-
sons, have been at church only two Sum
days in a year. l have three reasons for
resigning-monetary, moral and pcoviden-
tial.
Il am the poorest paid minister In the
city. You, numbering 1874 persons, pay me
$40 week, which is less than an ordinary
laborer receives. In the last two years
the cost of living has advanced 37k per
cent. Some of you have had your salaries
Increased. have purchased and furnished
homes The Bible says owe no man any
thing, yet If I, minister of the gospel,
should die tonight, would not know how
my obligations could be paid. 1 have
been obliged to take life insurance equity
to buy bread.
Have you been true to your God? Have
you been true to me as your friend? Have
you been true to me your pastor? The
church should not be used as a club to at
tend when one pleases."
When a motion to accept the resignation
was put to the meeting no one voted in the
affirmative and only two against accepting
1t. After the pastor had again spoken and
urged the acceptance Of his resignation
Elder William Ebert, who presided said
he agreed with all the pastor had said, and
added: I'VE have treated him disgrace
fully"
Then the question was again put and
thirty-two persons voted to accept the
resignation, while twelve voted against
the acceptance. Philadelphia Chassis will
be asked to dissolve the relation Of pastor
and people.

TEXAS TANaLEFooT TANGLE.
Liquor Dealers Organize and Retain
Enemy as Counsel.

Special Dispatch to The Star
GALVESTON, Tex, September 5.-The
retail liquor dealers and saloon men have
organized a Texas state association by the
amalgamation of the associations in twelve
cities and towns to fight the new liquor law.
The association will raise 100000, to be in
vested and the earnings from this sum to
be used In the election of Legislators friend
ly to the liquor traffic. Nearly all OF this
fund has been pledged by the liquor manu-
facturers and breweres.
Another fund of 100000 is to be raised by
the Retailers State Association for con-
testing and combating the various OBJ
1ectionable features of the new Baskins-
McGregor law. A strange feature of the
plan is the retention of one of the authors
of the BILL McGregor. as leading counsel
for. the liquor men while organizing for
their own preservation. The state associa-
ton pledged itself to prosecute and sup
press all disreputable resorts and dives
where beer or liquor Is sold. The brewers
association offered a 100000 fund to the
Anti League, to be used in purify
ing saloons In Texas, but the offer was re-
jected.
