Aas a SO ooh costaamilloerinn ES SUING THE SOUTH FORK CLUB. The First of the C1 for the Johns- town, Pa., Disaster. There was a rather unusual display of judicial ermine to be seen on the bench of the United States circuit court at Pittsburg recently. Circuit Judge Acheson and Dis- trict Judge Buffington were reinforced by the presence of Circuit Judge Dallas of Philadelphia. There was much expectancy shown by the people about the court room regarding the cases against the South Fork Club, which was expected to come up. This is a suit for $25,000 damages brought against the club who owned the dam at South Fork, which causei the Johnstown flood. Mrs. Ann Jenkins of Youngstown, Ohio, is the plaintiff, and asks damages in the sum named for the loss of her father, moth- er and brother, and the personal injuries and consequent shattered health sustained by herself. This is the first sult against the club, and if won by Mrs. Jenkins will open up a regular Johnstown flood of litigation. John McCleave, counsel for the club, said that D. T. Watson, who had prepared the case, was traveling in Europe, and could not enter an appearance. Messrs. Knox and Reed, he said, could only appear nomi- nally, as Mr. Knox was a director in the club, and ex-Judge Reed a stockholder. He said Mr. Watson expected to sail for home about December 1, and as he was especially concerned, personally anxious to try the case. Mr. McCleave hoped the court would postpone the case until Mr. Watson re- turned. T. B. Alcorn sald .he was associate coun- sel for the plaintiff, and explained that Sen- ator Wolcott of Canton, Ohio, and ex- United States Attorney Brinsmade of Cleve- land, the principal counsel, had authorized him to say they were ready and anxious to proceed with the case. Mr. Alcorn argued forcibly against postponement. He said it was hard to tell when Mr. Watson could be on hand, owing to his ill-health, and that he did not prepare the case anyhow. He said there were plenty of good lawyers in Pittsburg that the defendants could have secured. He thought the defense was suffi- ciently well represented to proceed with the case, and contended that the grounds for continuance which had been offered were insufficient. Judge Acheson asked Mr. Alcorn if this was the first appearance of this case on the docket, and on being informed that it was, he decided, owing to Mr. Watson's absence, to continue the case to the May term of the court next year. It was the general opinion of disinter- ested spectators that the South Fork Club is going to make its fight on the policy of delay. ———+ e+ OPENING PARLIAMENT. Gladstone Will Lead His Forces as Vigorou Ever. A London dispatch sent last night says: The customary preparations are making for the opening tomorrow of the adjourned session of parliament. The whips today sent out their messages, urgently request- ing the attendance of the members,and the political clubs are thronged for the first time since the night of the adjournment. Although nominally the parish councils and employers’ Hability bills will be the only business of the session, they will pro- vide but a small part of the interesting matter for debate. Probably an adjourn- ment of the house of commons will be mov- ed to introduce a discussion of the Mata- bele war and the scandals said to be in- volved in the conduct of the South African Chartered Company. The question of the great coal strike will also be raised. About twenty radical members of the house of commons met at the National Liberal Club this afternoon to consider the behavior of the masters and men in Lan- eashire, Derbyshire and South Wales. They yoted sympathy with the miners, and Chas. Van Sittart Conybeare, member from Northwest Cornwall, said that he or a col- league would, if necessary, move an ad- journment of the house to direct attention to the need of legislation which will pre- vent future conspiracies of mine owners against their men. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone came to town this evening and .drove directly to ihe house of Sir Andrew Clark, Mr. Glad- stone’s physician, to inquire after his health. After a short call they drove to Downing street, where Mr. Gladstone re- ceived Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer. Mr. Gladstone apparently is enjoying unusually good health, ———- 04 ITALY’S CABINET CRISIS, The Ministry is Regarded as Certain to Be Defeated. Signs multiply, says a Rome dispatch, that a cabinet crisis will be on shortly after the meeting of the chambers on November 23. Not only the attacks of ex-Premiers Crispi and Rudini, but also the speeches of deputies in the provinces, indicate that the Giolitti ministry is regarded as doomed. The friends of Joseph Zanardelli, who has been a politician of cabinet rank for a generation, are making every effort to push him into power. Zanardelli, while willing to assume the premiership under ordinary circumstances, is not eager for the office as long as the bank scandals remain unset- ted and the financial condition of the gov- ernment threatens bankruptcy. Crispi is talking loudly to secure his own return to power, and his supporters yield to none in energetic opposition to Giolitti, but his chances have been greatly damaged by the suspicion that he was connected with the bank scandals, The ministers are preparing to fight to the last ditch. They have drawn an elaborate scheme for progressive taxation. They ex- pect this to be popular, as it will propose to relieve the poor and burden the rich. Prob- ably the scheme will not be debated, as all the plans of the ministry are likely to be overthrown at the opening of the session by the crisis. soe Barial Permits.

The signature PROLONGING THE SIEGE AT RIO. European Supplies for the Rebels on Their Way. ARGENTINA SEEKS HELP. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—When the warship Destroyer was bought from the Ericsson Coast Defense Company for the Brazilian government it was supposed that this new naval wonder would be immediately sent south and turned loose on the rebel Admi- ral Mello. This may not happen right away as one of the stockholders in the Ericsson Company has come forward with an objection to the sale of this boat. He intends to invoke the aid of the law to prevent the consummation of the bargain. The agents for the Brazilian gavernment agreed to pay $30,000 for the. vessel provided they could take her to Brazil and test her on Mello’s fleet. If she proved satisfactory the money would be paid. If not they would return the vessel with thanks—if she had not already been sunk or disabled by bad management. Before they could have the vessel Secretary of the Navy Herbert stipulated that the cost of the guns and ten projectiles and the experse of testing the same, amounting to about $11,500 should be paid to the United States government. This being done the option would be can- celed. C. R. Flint & Co. agreed to re- imburse the government for the money ad- vanced, and Secretary Herbert gave his consent to the sale of the boat. Mr. Mergan V. Lassoe, who has an in- terest in the Ericsson Company cannot un- derstand how they can ever collect a dol- lar from the Brazilian government, even though his Destroyer should blow Mello and his fleet clean out of the water. There is nothing in the contract which specifies who is to be the judge of the Destroyer's ability, or upon what qualities the award of the money is to be based. Prolonging the Siege of Rio. The Herald's special from Rio says: The siege is likely to be prolonged, perhaps in- definitely. It has been declared prolonged until November 30, and may be continued beyond that. The warship Republica has been ordered by Mello to cruise about the mouth of the river Plata to wait for the ap- pearance of the Tiradentes, the warship that has remained loyal to the government, or for other ships that may make their ap- pearance there. Admiral Mello has issued orders to the commander of the Republica to make a final effort to seduce the Tiradentes and to have its officers and men join the insur- genta. Failing in this the Republica ts ordered to open her batteries and reduce the ‘Mran- dentes to submission and to use all means oe prevent the loyal warship from reaching jo. Argentina's foreign minister failing to cb- tain a satisfactory reply to his application to President Peixoto for protection for Ar- gentina vessels, has asked the United States squadron stationed at that port to protect its commerce. It is said that the ships recently purchas- ed in England by agents of President Peixoto will arrive early this month. Mello failed in obtaining recognition from the Spanish government. The Times prints the following cable dis- Patch from Lisbon: Supplies of money, provisions, ammunition, arms and coal, sent to the Brazilian insurgents from Eu- rope, will reach Rio Janeiro within a few days. Other war material, inchiding Krupp guns, have been bought, to be shipped to the insurgents this week. Many former Brazilians now resident in Spain, and, for that matter, in several other European countries, are thus expressing their sym- pathy with Mello and his insurgent band in a substantial manner. The Herald says the Brazilian govern- ment has purchased for $225,000 the mag- nificent steamer Britannia, now at Bos- ton, for her navy. The Britannia will ar- rive at New York Saturday afternoon to be fitted up as a cruiser. More Ships for Brazil. The Times says: Mr. Morgan’s fine steam yacht Corsair will probably be un- dergoing conversion into a Brazilian war- ship in the course of a few days. Flint & Company of this city have offercd Mr. Morgan $250,000 for her. It is also learned that the announcement in the Times of ‘Tuesday of the probable purchase of George Gould's steam yacht Atalanta was not only correct, but that the actual acquisition of the Atalanta by the Brazilian government could be expected within a few days. The announcement of the negotiations for the purchase of El Rio from the Mor- an line and the five steamers of the inited States and Brazil Mail Steamship Company is confirmed from a good source. The formal transfer of the six ships may be looked for, it was intimated, in the course of the present week. ———— WRECKED BY SPREADING RAILS, No One Killed, but a Number Hart in a Texas Disaster. HEARNE, Tex., Nov. 2—The east-bound train on the International and Great North- ern railway, due at Herne at 1:35 p.m., was wrecked yesterday afternoon a mile and a half west of here near the junction of the | Hearne and Brazos Valley railroad. It was caused by the spreading of the switch of the Hearne and Brazos Valley railroad. | All the coaches and the baggage cars were overturned, the engine alone keeping the track. No one was killed, but a number were injured, Those whose injuries are most serfous are J. B. Bigger, Manor; Mrs. J. B. Bigger, George D. Campbell, Calvert: | L. B.

Thurlow Weed's Daughter Dead. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Harriet Ann Weed, eldest daughter of Thurlow Weed, the fa- mous journalist and politician, died late last night. She had been fll for several years, during which she had suffered sever- al attacks of pleurisy. The last attack oc- curred several weeks ago. The attack left Miss Weed, who was in her seventy-fifth year, extremely weak. She sank gradually after that. Yesterday she became uncon- scious and remained so all afternoon and evening until she died. Miss Weed’s life was devoted entirely to her father until his death. She was his secretary, his confidante and his close friend through all the later years of his life. She had entire charge of his correspondence for years. She was born in Rochester, —_——_> Mr. Armour Gives $50,000 for Science. CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—Phillp D. Armour has given his personal check for $50,000 to the Armour Institute, W. Gunsaullus to spend the whole amount and authorized Dr, F. | to the southward by the imperial troops and the forces of the British South Africa company. Lobengula’s forces are supposed to be in the vicinity of the Shangani and Gaulo rivers, 140 miles west of Fort Char- ter. Their capture seems probable. The runners bring advices showing that on the night of October 20 Major Forbes” scouts reconnoitered the Insugonini kraal, the headquarters of the Insugonini regi- ment, the strongest and most efficient regi- ment of the Matabele army. The scouts found the kraal full of Matabeles. Some of the scouts returned to Maj. Forbes and reported the facts to him. Maj. Forbes dispatched 100 cavalrymen and two Maxim guns to make an attack on the place. When this force arrived they found: the kraal deserted, the natives having beert warned of the presence of the British by their scouts and making their escape irto the bush before the troops had time to get to the scene. While a small detachment of the com- pany’s men were guarding a number of Mai le prisoners on the night of October 23 they were attacked by a body of Mata- beles and a sharp fight natives were finally driven off. During the fight one of the company’s officers, ramed Burnett, was shot and killed. According to the later accounts of the battle that occurred on Tuesday, the at- tacking natives numbered 5,000. ‘The British Were fully prepared to receive the ®nemy. In the first rush made by the Matabeles they swept past the British pickets. This brought them within range of the British guns and a deadly fire was poured into their ranks. For a moment the natives held their ground and then broke and fied to cover in the bush. The British cavalry then sallied forth from the Laager and chased the whole force. The native regiments did not stop in their flight. The rocky ground over which they fled prevented the cavalry from mak- ing an effective pursuit. In this fight 500 of the Matabeles were killed or wounded. The company’s forces lost two killed—a white man and a negro— and six wounded. When the fight was over the road was found to be clear. The Laager was then broken up and the troops marched without resistance to Buluwayo, Loben- gula’s kraal, thirty-five miles distant. —$_— ROBBED OF MILLIONS. Timber Belonging to Minnesota Stolen by Wholesale. ST. PAUL, Minn.’ Nov. 2.—The Minnesota executive pine land investigating commit- tee made some startling discoveries during its session yesterday. The session was an executive one, but Chairman Ignatius Don- nelly made public some of the findings last evening. He said: “The state has been robbed of millions of dollars by some of its most prominent citizens. Some of the robberies are of the most surprising character. Logs have been stolen by wholesale without pre- text of title to ownership. We have found one case where the state of Minnesota was paid for 600,000 feet of lumber and the quantity actually taken from the tract measured over 6,000,000 feet. In addition to this our investigations have forced many men to pay over large amounts of money which the state would probably have never otherwise received.” ——__. MAY RESIST THE CUT. Trainmen on the East Tennessee Sys- tem Expected to Strike. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 2.—The 10 per cent reduction in wages of the trainmen on the East Tennessee system went into ef- “ect yesterday. Men are working as usual. Chiefs of the labor organizations are ex- pected to arrive today from Augusta. Receiver Funk stated to a United Press re- porter yesterday that under no considera- tion would the order reducing wages be re- scinded. A long struggle may be expected, and a strike may follow. —<—_—___— AUSTRIA’S CABINET CRISIS. It is Thought the Emperor Will Make His Own Choice of a Premier. LONDON, Nov. 2.—A special dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says: Prince Al- fred Windisch-Gratz, who the Emperor Francis Joseph desired to succeed Count Taaffe as Austrian prime minister, has an- nounced that owing to important family reasons he is not able to accept the office. The dispatch adds that Count Karl Ho- henwart zu Gerlachstein is likely to be summoned by his majesty to form a minis- try. If he refuses, as it is expected he will, the emperor will make his own choice and will pay little regard to the names sug- gested by the party managers or the press. His majesty is much irritated by the par- Mamentarian pressure that has been brought to bear to force him to a decision sive prerogative. A special dispatch to the United Press from Vienna today says it has been learned that Emperor Francis Joseph has sum- moned Prince Windisch-Gratz to a con- ference. The governors of Bohemia and Galicia and several other supporters of the government will attend the conference, which will be held at Buda Pest. It is doubtful whether a solution of the crisis will follow this conference. If no solution is arrived at it is expected that the emperor will make an appointment to the office of prime minister that will prove a surprise to all the political groups. a THE IRON TRADE. It Plods on With su! Recent Change. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 2—The Iron Trade Review says: It is becoming plainer that until new enterprises are undertaken with something like old-time freedom the iron trade will plod on in substantially the condition noted in the past few weeks. One week may differ from another in the slightly brighter outlook in a given section or in a given department of the market, but the sum total of all these occasional | bettermeuts still leaves the trade far from the desired condition. Beyond the reports from Pittsburg of still better employed mill Seria there is little change for the past week. The billet market has recovered a trifle from the low level reached two weeks ago, but for the reason principally that no larger tonnage is called for. Finished products do not share in any additional firmness there may be in raw steel. In the past week buyers have been able, on certain structural material contracts, to get prices $1 a ton lower than those current ten days ago. This, with the facility with which orders are canceled and then Placed elsewhere at lower prices, tends in no wise to inspire the manufacturer with any con- fidence in the future. In the Pittsburg district there has been an increase in pig iron consumption, but co Leggett bere has also inc and the relation of supply and demand not greatly changed. ad ia Throughout the market sellers repo the disposition is to use up every vontiee er material on hand before new purchases are made, and the clearing up policy was never 80 thoroughly put in practice. Puyer and seller alike look for a continuance of this policy until the new fron and steel tariff scheduie is fixed, which means some months of uncertainty and cautious buying. —_———-___ A GREAT RACE PROMISED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-014 Fleetwood Park has seen some big and enthusiastic crowds gather within its gates to see trot- ters of renown race, but there has never been a match race in harness which has created such general interest among horse- men as the great Directum-Mascot match, which {ts on for this afternoon.

Co; Oo GOULD PROFESSES IGNORANCE. Knows of No Arrangement to Give McLeod an Entrance. Russell Sage, when interviewed on the reported agreement between the New Eng- jand and the Manhattan roads, said: “Well, now, I don’t want to say anything about that matter. Quite a lot of people have been here asking about it, but there 1s really nothing to say.” President McLeod of the New England Says the published statements regarding the arrangements to be made by New England are correct. He is unable to go into further details at present, as the matter is being perfected. The directors are said to have held q meeting and signed the contracts with Ryan & McDonald of Baltimore. These contracts call for the completion of the new road from Brewster's to Leggett’s Point in one year. George J. Gould said in an emphatic and convincing manner that he had entered into no negotiations with the New York and New England peo; ing their obtaining an entrance into New York city over any of the Manhattan rails. The story that a big passenger depot was to be erected in the annexed district, and that passengers would from this station . be transferred to the 2d avenue elevated by means of elevators, was denied by him. Mr. Gould stated in an unequivocal way that no such project was being carried out, as far as he knew. “It is reported that such a move is on foot, Mr. Gould,” suggested the reporter. “Perhaps that may be the case,” he an- swered, “but it is strange that I have not been approached in the matter.” —— 40s Real Estate Matters. ‘ Margaret Joanna Prentiss has purchased FINANCIAL.
