Y., to the effect that Charles Wilson's sentence to be electrocuted bad been, commuted by the governor of the state to imprisonment for life. Wilson, it will be remembered, was one of the burglars who attempted to break into the Boston store in this city several years ago. He was cap- tured, but jumped his bail bond and for some time was not heard from. His next appear- ance was in Syracuse, where he and his brother, Dink Wilson, shot and killed a policeman. Sheriff Hazen has made several trips to Syracuse as a witness in the two trials. Dink has already paid the death pen- alty, but his more fortunate brother has now commenced serving his life sentence in the Auburn penitentiary. Tmprisonment. Merry Bntchers, .

Feely and wife, who live in Norwalk township, are defendants in a suit com- menced In the district court yesterday by Frank Nugo Salvador, who describes him- self as having been, at the time he crossed the ocean in 1884 and took up his abode with Mr. and Mrs. Feely, a green, ignorant Itallan, unacquainted with life and customs in this country. They compelled him to do the hardest kind of work all day, and mos of the night, he says, and to sleep in barns and sheds, without having clothing enough to keep him comfortable. They agreed with him in 1884 that if he would stay with them and work until he should become 21 ye: of age, which would be six years, they would him at the end of that time a team, wagon, harness and eighty acres of land. In 1890, instead of giving him these things they chose, as their contract provided they might, to give him $1,600 In c During the next two years, however, they did not pay him more than $300 of that amount. In 1892 a further agreement was entered into whereby he was to work for them until 1895, and receive as payment a deed to all the land they owned in Norwalk township south of the railway tracks. Now the time has elapsed, and none of these contracts have been fulfilled. Salvador claims his services during the first six years were worth $19.70 per month, or §2,600 in all, and he wants a judgment for that amount, together with $600 which he claims is coming to him as wages for the last three years. It is claimed that Feely and his wife have deeded all their property to a daughter, Mrs. Saunders. 12 to 26 A.

Bdward Hermes, an old man who lives north of the Unlon Pacific bridge, near theY agent and abstracter, was arrested this after- river, called at Justice Vien's office yesterday and told a pitiful story of the abuse to which he had been subjected by his son, Frank Hermes, and his housekeeper, Clara Cozad. According to the story he told, the younger Hermes and the Cozad girl, who is 18 years of age and rather good looking, have been living together as man and wife, although they never went to the trouble and expense of procuring a marriage cer- tificate. The old man objected to this sort of procedure in his own house, and was promptly sat upon by the young people. How long things had gone on in this way he did not know, but he claims they have been liv- ing together three months to his knowledge. How hard the sitting down process was is shown by a big gash on his left wrist, made, he claims, by a knife in the hands of his son, and by long, deep scratches about his throat, where, he says, the undutiful young man choked him. He filed two in- formations, in one of which he charges both his son and the latter's alleged paramour with conspiracy to injure his person, and in the other he accuses his son of assaulting him with intent to commit great bodily in- jury, by cutting and choking him. Both the accused were released on their own re- cognizance, to appear on the 1S8th for a preliminary hearing. Yes, the Eagle laundry Is “that good laundry,” and is located at 724 Broadway.

Stewart's office last evening, an hour and a quarter being taken up with the opening of bids and the letting of a contract for doing $140 worth of paper- ing and painting at the Bloomer school build- ing. There were eleven bids in the hands f Dr. Robertson of the committee on build- ings and grounds. These were opened and read fn a very painstaking fashion, and it was found that they varied all the way from $115 to $250 for painting and papering the first floor cf the building. Bloss Bros. were finally awarded the contract at $115, and the further sum of $25 was allowed them for washing the walls and ceiling before putting on the sizing. Dr. Rebertson was given authority to make a contract with J. W. Squire for a reduced rental rate during the summer vacation for his buildings, which are now being used as school houses, Claims Millard Was Cnduly Inflaenced. Kate Payne has started proceedings against the heirs of R. S. Millard, better known as “Spell” Millard, to recover her interest in the estate of the deceased.

Har- and | FLETCHER IN sloux City OMcer Plays Detective with Considerable Succrss. SIOUX CITY, July 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Mayor Fletcher of this city made the rounds of the elums last night in dis- guise, as a result of complaints that houses of prostitution and gambling establishments are being run openly and that the saloon men are violating the state liquor law. His discoveries seem to have startled him, for he says he will take steps at once to drive the objectionable classes from the city. The latter say the move is due to the influence of the Towa and Nebraska Pontoon Bridge com- pany, the managers of whicn think their busi- ness will be improved if the demi-monde is driven across the river. MAYOR THE SLUMYS Wil Give the Konds More Time, CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, July 10.—(Special Telegram.)—The board of directors of the Order of Railway Conductors held a meet- ing here today and a number of matters were taken up and considered. The most im- portant action taken was the passage of res- olutions relating to an extension of the time in which the car coupler act shall go into effect. In substance the resolution is that owing to fthe depression from which the country is Just recovering and from which the railroads suffered as much perhaps as any other industry, the board of directors feel it would be inconsistent to protest an ex- tension of time, as asked by the railroads of the Interstate Commerce commission as long as one year. % Suloons Won the Fight, DES MOINES, July 10.—(Special Tele- gram)—At a meeting of the city council today the mulet saloon ordinance was taken up and passed and resolutions granted to all who had filed applications, except William Priebe, Loufe Jaccbs and J.

The bolt came through the ceiling, making a hole therein about the size of a 38-caliber pistol ball, struck Miss Moxie on the left side of the face, ran down and acrose the breast to the other side of the body, burning a path in both body and clothing until the current reached the stock- ing, ripped that open, tore the shoe from the foot, driving some of the nails out of the heel, thence through the treadle of the in- strument and the floor, killing a chicken under the house.

RETURN TICKETS FOUND, WITH BRCKERS Westera Roads Agitated Over the Teachers' Convention and Enstern Lines at War Over the Christian En- deavor Tickets, CHICAGO, July 10.—More complications have arisen over the sale of Christian En- deavor tickets by the Erie rcad, and this time they are of a nature to threaten the regular traffic rates between Chicago and New York. The Erle, having in some man- ner run out of the regular Christian En- deavor tickets, sold about 760 tickets of another form to people asking for excursion tickets, and quite a number of them found their way into the hands of brokers, the latter part of the transaction, however, through no fault of the Erie people. The brokers, who have for several days been using every pretext to break the market were not at all slow in letting it be kiown that they had become possessed of the Erie tickets, and Iimmediately a storm rose, Vice Chairman Donald of the Central Trafic assoclation was at once overwhelmed with protests against the action of the Erie, and demands were promptly made upon him for relief under the association rules, which, in this instance, permit all competitors of the Erie to sell tickets today and tomorrow at the same excursion rates as were used by the Erie. He granted the demands, as he was bound to do, and now for two days all the eastern roads out of Chicago are pre- pared to sell tickets at the same price a asked for the excursion tickets tq the Chris tian Endeavor convention. The Erie people claimed that the sale of the tickets was an error, und as soon as many tickets had been sold they made every effort to recover the tickets from the scaipers. The western roads are becoming some- what uneasy over the repeated reports that the return portions of teachers' tickets are finding their way into the hands of brokers, and that eastbound rates are threatened. There scems, however, to be more smoke than fire about the matter The brokers are unquestionably getting hold of a number of tickets, but not in a sufficient number up to date to be able to create any demoralization in rates. The Railway Age, in its next issue, wili say upon the subject of railway recelver- ships and the foreclosures fn 1893: A year 0, on June 30, 1894, recelvers were operating 166 railways in this country, re resenting about 39, miles of lines and £2,600,000,000 of capitalization—that is, about 25 per cent of the then existing mileage and about 25 per cent of the combinea capital stock and bonds. Within the last twelve months forty-five roads, represent ing 6,728 miles of lmes anc §343,000,000 capitalization, have beer leased from the hands of the courts by foreclosure sale, reducing the number in receiver: hands to 136, although the mileage and capitalization ‘are not very much less than a year ago, owing to the slow work of reorganization of the few lines who own the aggregate, CHARGE UD IN THE FORZCLOSURE Sensational Allegations in n Cross Bill the Dulnth and Winnipeg ¢ ase. DULUTH, July 10.—A sensational crose bill and answer in the suit brought to fore close the $2,000,000 bond issue on the Duluth & Winnipeg railway by the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit company of Pennsylvania was filed in the federal court here today by John CO. Hunter, W. W: Spalding and H. M. Peyton, Duluth citizens; Senator C. K Davis of St, Paul and the estate of the late A. J. Sawyer of Minneapolfs, who want the claim of the Pennsylvania concern declared void and the receiver, W. F. Fitch, who wao put in charge at the mnstance of the president, Van Horne of the Canadian Pa- cific, supplanted by a disinterested party and the property sold to satisfy just claims of the creditors of the company. The inter- venors state that the North Star Construction company, one of the defendants in the suit, made an answer that was merely a pre tense, and that it admitted nearly everything claimed by the plaintiff, particularly in order to further the scheme of foreclosing in favor of the Canadian Pacific, in whose control the road has been ever since January, 1893. The intervenors claim their stock in the road is worth $123,000, and if the foreclosure goes through they will be frozen out. They further show that the sale of the road was ordered by Judge Nelson last January, ir wccordance with an agreement between the plaintiff and the pretended defendants. The claimants state that the bonds to secure the mortgage were issued in excess of the amount_authorized by law, and that they were therefore void; that the 100 miles of road already built cost considerably less than $1,500,000, vet bonds and stock were issued to the extent of $4,500,000, and that Sir W. C. Van Horne secured a controlling in- terest by promising to complete the road, which he never did or tried to do, and that he caused the road to be mismanaged for the benefit of one of his companies, the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, a Canadian Pacific corporation. ERIE sIMPLY PROTECTED ITSELF No Proper Checks Provided to Prevent Underhanded Kate Cucting. HICAGO, July 10.—The eastern roads are now blaming the action of the passenger de- partment of the Trunk Line assoclation for the chance that they claim It gave to the Erie road to demoralize the business to and from the Christlan Endeavor convention. It 1s clalmed that no provision was made for the appointment of a joint agent or the cer- tification of tickets until after the brokers had been given ample opportunity to stock up with the tickets in a liberal fashion. The arie discovered that a guod deal of under- handed manipulation was going on and took measures to meet the action of its competi- tors in such a way that the lion's share of the business would come to the Erle. This, they thought, was a better way of doing than to make an outery against their competitors, which would only come up for hearing long after the business was out of the market The outlook now Is that the holders of tickets will have no trouble in ‘Bavink them honored, no matter how late the'{fme set for the re- turn may be.
