CREDITOR NEAR THE SETTLEMENT Mexican Central Road May Soon Pay Ameri- can Claims. P B Court Renders Decision in a Twe-M liion-Dollar Case. Special Dispatch to The Call. MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Dec. 6.—The Judge of the First District Court of this city’ has rendered a decision on an fm- portant point that was involved in the proceedings which have been pending for several years in the courts of this ceun- try by the creditors of the Monterey and Mexican Gulf Rallroad. This de- cision is a severe blow to the Mexican Central, which now owns the Monterey and Mexican Gulf property, and brings the American creditors of the latter road a step nearer the final settlement of their claims. The import of the decision is to elim- ipate from the discussions and vote in the Monterey and Mexican Gulf bank- reptcy proceedings and meetings all those firms or corporations whose claims against the company have been paid. It is alleged that the Mexican Central has been endeavoring to have these firms or corporations represented in the proceed- ings, notwithstanding that their claims have been discharged, for the purpose of having a preponderance of influence in finally determining the case against other claimants. The claimants whom the court holds to be not entitled to participate as cred- itors in the bankruptcy.proceedings, be- cause their claims have been previously paid, are the International and Mortgage Bank, whose claim was $30,929 United States currency; Herrman & Co., whose claim was $111,124 United States currency; Bermijillo & Co., whose claim was $62,023 United States currency; Benecke Succes- sors, whose claim was $81,764 United States currency and %7542 Mexican sil- ver, and the National Bank of Mexico, whose claim was $43,578 Mexican silver. All of these concerns are located in this eity. The amounts due American creditors aggregate nearly $2,000,000 gold, and this obligation will have to be paid by the Mexican Central, as the latter company, under the law, assumed all the debts of the Monterey and Mexican Gulf when it acquired that property. This amount is exclusive of the claim of the trustee of the mortgage bondholders, which amounts to $13,430,900 United States currency.

For Nearly Every Man, Woman or Child. A short time ago we published an arti- cle recommending to our readers the new discovery for the cure of Dyspepsia, called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and the claims then made regarding the wonderful curative properties of the remedy have been abundantly sustained by the facts. People who were cautious about trying new remedies advertised In the newspa- pers and were finally induced to give Stu- art’s Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were sur- prised and delighted at the results. In many cases a single package costing but 50 cents at any drug store made a complete cure and in every instance the most bene- ficial results were reported. From a hun- dred or more received we have space to publish only a few of the latest, but as- sure our readers we receive so many com- mendatory letters that we shall publish each week a fresh list of genuine, unsolic- jted testimonials and never publish the same one twice. From James Yemmeisler, LaCross, Wis.: Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything I ever tried and 1 was so pleased at results that I gave away several boxes to my friends who have also had the same benefits. From James Yemmisler, LaCrosse, Wi Jersey: 1 have taken Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets with the best results. I had Dys- pepsia for 6 years and had taken a great deal of medicine, but the Tablets seem to take right hold and I feel good. I am a farmer and lime burner and I heartily recommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets. From Mrs. M. K. West, Preston, Minn.: I have recelved surprisingly good effects from using Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I gave ome-half of my last box to a friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results. From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston, Cadillac, Mich.: I have been taking Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and I am very much bet- ter, and feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received in so short a time. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are a certain cure for all forms of Indigestion. They are not claimed to be a cure-all, but are pre- pared for stomach troubles only, and phy- sicians and druggists everywhere recom- mend them to all persons suffering from Nervous Dyspepsia, sour or acid stomach, heartburn, bloating or wind on stomach and similar disorders. QUAKING EARTH DAMABES HOMES Temblors in Utah Con- tinue and Cause Much Alarm. SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 6.—Since No- vember 17, when an earthquake shook up Southern Utah and as far north as Sait Lake, there have been daily shocks felt in the extreme southeastern portion of the State. According to advices received from Pine Valley, a hamlet in the mountains of ‘Washington County, not a day has pass- ed since that date that at least one earthquake shock has not been noted, and serious alarm is being felt for the safety of the place. Every chimney in the town has been badly cracked or, com- pletely tumbled over. At Pinto the shocks have been so severe that the public school has been abandon- ed for several days. About fifteen miles south are five or six old craters, and the continuance of the earthquake shocks has strengthened the bellef that there has been a fresh outbreak of volcanic activity in the mountains of that region. il POSTAGE ON SUNDAY CALL.

MAYOR T0 JAIL Denver Executive and Eleven Aldermen Sentenced. Appeal From Decision to Be Made to the Supreme Court, ‘DENVER, Colo., Dec. 6.—Mayor R. R. Wright Jr. and eleven Aldermen were sentenced this afternoon by Judge John 1. Mullins of the District Court to serve feur months in jail for contempt of court in disregarding the injunction issued by Judge Mullins to restrain the enactment of an ordinanee granting a franchise to the Denver City Tramway Company in the form in which it was presented. The eleven Aldermen who voted for the or- dinance in the face of the injunction are W. B. Tebbetts, president of the board; John D. Ross, Andrew Horan, P. B. Rus- sell, John Conlon, Willlam Graham, James Parish, George W. Weick, F. L. Balley, D. S. Gray and Pinckney Wallick. Mayor Wright signed the ordinance, though this act was specifically forbidden by the court. The Mayor and Aldermen eppeal from Judge Mullin’s decision on legal points involved in the case and re- main at liberty under bonds. Judge Mullins granted a sen days’ stay of sentence in order to give the attorneys for the Mayor and Aldermen time to per- fect their appeal to the Supreme Court. In the course of his opinion Judge Mul- lins said: “I believe that public officials, no mat- ter under which department of the gov- ernment they serve, cannot violate their trusts with impunity and that there Is certainly lodged somewhere in the law of this land the power that will stay them, if there is reasonable ground to believe that they are acting through corrupt and improper motives, and that will punish them if they insist in their wrong doing. “It is urged that there is no remedy for these evils save that of public opin- ion and redress at the ballot box, These are means that afford but slim consola- tion to the community when their com- mon property has been inadequately dis- posed of. It may be stated as a general rule that courts of equity will not re- ¢train municipal corporations in the ex- ercise of their executive functions. But it seems to me the weight of authority holds that it will be done under those circumstances where wrongs will be com- mitted which will work irreparable injury to either private individuals or to the public.” The ordinance, the passage of which wae enjoined, grants a franchise for the extension of a tramway company’s lines for twenty years and permits the collec- tion of a 6-cent fare on all the lines of the city of Denver for the next twenty years, thus shutting out any movement for a reduction ‘within that time. Efforts were made by the minority of the board to correct these features of the bill, but the tramway majority refused to permit any changes to be made. Woman Should Talk to Man.

ASPEN, Colo.,, Dec. 6.—When the case of Ed Wilson, Jacob Gies and John Holm, charged with receiving money saild to have been stolen from the Aspen State Bank by Leonard Dingle, the teller, was called to-day, District Attorney Gray an- nounced that he wished to enter a nolle as he did not believe the State had suf- ficient evidence to convict.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 6.—By adopting the report of its committee to-day the -dele- gotes to the Seamen’s Union virtually de- clared war on the Longshoremen’s, Ma- rines’ and Transport Workers' Associa- tion and the associations of the Long- shoremen’s International Union. Both in- ternational organizations are now claim- ing jurisdictbn over a number of men who work on boats, the contention being, prircipally, over the masters, pilots, ma- rine firemen, oilers, water-tenders, wheels- men and watchers. “We claim jurisdiction over everybody wko sails,” was the way in which one of the delegates gave the contents of the report. It is:contended that the long- shoremen have no right to claim author- ity over men who work continually inside I of vessels. .
