Cakes, both of st. Thomas, Ont, were
killed under their overturned locomo-

Passenger cars remained on the track
but two baggage cars were derailed.

open and the absence of steel bar
and wrench disclosed the source Of the
tools, with which the work had been
done.

Is that the restraining order is not
temporary one asked for, but per-
manent one. The laws of the state
say that where the injunction is not
temporary one, no bond shall be
required. The attorney for the plain
tiff will make no effort TO show any
irreparable immediate damage by. the
erection of the filtration plant, which
will waive the bonding part OF the
action.
The complaint has not been prepared
as yet by Mr.. Stambaugh although he
hopes to have it completed in the very
near future. The summons served to-
day so that the case might be started.
II is understood that the complaint will
be ready just as soon as certain draw
ings, that the plaintiff will Introduce
in the case are completed by the men
employed for this work.
The exact purport OF the complaint
is not known. The action will be
based on alleged invalid letting of the
contract and it will be claimed that
much Of the procedure taken by the city
was not in accordance with the laws.

washington, May 31.--What was
expected to be the last day of hear
ings on the Canadian reciprocity bill
by the senate finance committee was
featured today by the appearance of
John r. H. Allen and whidden era
ham of the Arm of Allen & Graham
of New York who are said TO have
been employed to manufacture sen
timent' among the farmers Of the
country in opposition to the agreement.
1t was at the instance of Senator
Long that they were summoned to APP
pear before the committee to tell ex-
actly what part they have taken in
the propaganda of opposition to recl-
procity.
Senator Stone declared that Allen &
Graham were promoters that they
were not "practicing attorneys or law
yers" thus controverting the declara-
ton recently by N. p. Hull, master of
the Michigan grange, that Allen Il
Graham had been acting as legal adj
yisers for the National grange.
The firm, it was learned, was send
ing out for some of the officers OF the
National grange literature warning
farmers in all parts of the country
that the reciprocity agreement would
injure them and asking them to con-
tribute to the cause. Manufacturers
WEI also asked for financial aid.

Whidden Graham OF the Arm of Al

to the senate finance committee late

reciprocity. He declined to answer
whether his concern was working for
any other interests in opposing the

HOSPITAL NO 4 HAS
NEW SUPERINTENDENT

At "a called session of the Board
Of Managers of stat" Hospital No.
held last Monday aud Tuesday,
DR.. J. 4. Waterman of Jefferson
City was elected superintendent of
that institution. Dr. Waterman
has been physician at the state PEN
itentiary for Il little over two years,
having been appointed to that posi-
tion by Governor Hadlcy. W" un-
dcrstand that n" has no special eX.
perieucc as an alieuist or in the
treatment and care % the insane, as
the law requires of ,upcrintendonts
OF our hospitals for the insane, eN-
cept such experience as he may
have had with insane convicts at
the penitentIury, but be was recon-
mended to the board of managers
by Governor Hadley as proper
man for superintendent of No. I.
Or. Waterman application for
the position was before the board at
it's last regular meeting and the ap-
pointment would probably have been
made then, hut IA local Republican
politician made some damaging
charges against Dr. Waterman ;
character that caused them To- hcsi-
tate, 50 they forwarded a statement
of the charges to Governor Hadley
and adjourned at that tim" without
making the appointment. II seems
that Governor Hadlcy laid the mat.
ter before DR.. Waterman, and to say
the Doctor waved wroth is putting II
mildly. There was hot talk of insti-
tuting SUIT for libel and damages
against the party making the
charges The Doctor was sure good
and mad over the affair, hat now
that he has secured the appointment
he will probably pay no further at
tention to the matter.
DR.. j. w Nixon Of st. Louis
who was also an applicant for the
position Of superintendent, was
down to meet the board Monday,
but returned to the city on the af.
ternoon train He had splendid rec
concentrations from alienists, both
Republican and Democratic pOliti.
clans, and seven years experience
at state Hospital No. back Of him (;
but he lacked the principal qualifi-
cation-he was not Republican
He said he thought he would give
Governor Hadley an opportunity to
carry out his boasted theory of non
partisanship in our eleemoSynary
institutions.
The board took no action on a."

Weber, aud adjourned To their rryn-
Tar monthly meeting iu July.
