INSPECTORS CHECK PROXIES
Fight for Control of Illinois Central
Goes. Over a Day.
BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT
Fish's Friends Defeat Motion
Hold tht Session Court
Appoints Third In
spector. CHICAGO, Oct. 18. The meeting of
Illinois Central stockholders, which was
called at noon today, was finally ad
journed late In the afternoon until
o'clock tomorrow morning. No vote on the
directors was taken, and It Is possible that
none will be reached before a late hour
tomorrow. It is generally expected, how
ever, that the early session will see the new
directorate established.
"Fhe delay waa caused by the Inability of
three election Inspectors, who were ap
pointed to act as a committee on creden
tials In considering the. proxies, to finish
their work. The adjournment was taken
after an earnest tilt between William Nel
son Cromwell, Mr. Harrlman's leading
counsel, and James A. Patten, a prominent
member of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Mr. Cromwell desired that the meeting be
adjourned until 8:30 tonight, while Mr.
Patten waa set on having it taken until 9
o'cVoclt tomorrow morning. " ' 1 ""
The' proceedings of the day were opened
by a. 'meeting of the directors. No business
was transacted save that, on motion of
Mr. FUh. It waa decided to admit represen
tatives of the press, and the committee of
three election Inspectors was finally com
pleted. . ,
It waa stipulated yesterday by Judge Ball
that a committee of three should be ap
pointed to pass upon the eligibility of the
proxies. For this committee Mr. Fish, who
was to select one member, chose his pri
vate secretary, Charles H. Wenman. Mr.
Harriman selected LorJs Frltch. These two
were to select third, but the choice of the
additional member was left to Judge Far
rar, acting for Mr. Fish, and Mr. Crom
well for Mr. Harriman., The two men argued
for the greater part of the night, and dis
cussed many names, but were unable to
agree upon the third man. When the meet
ing of the directors was called It waa still
undecided, and finally a motion was made.
i originally by Judge Fnrrnr. that Judge
Ball should select the third party, was
adopted. The Judge named E. 8. Conway,
a prominent manufacturer of this city.
Applanse for Fish.
The meeting of the stockholders was
called to order at 12 o'clock by President
Harahan of the Illinois Centrul, about 4(0 j
people being In attendance. Mr. Fish was j
greeted with applause when he entered, I
but the smaller stature of Mr. Harriman !
allowed him to enter unobserved.
The actual proceedings of the meeting
were opened by the collection of the names
of stockholders personally present, and '
then Mr. Cromwelh who to all lntenta and j
purposes waa the presiding officer, declared '
lt the three inspectors would receive the
,
proxies in an adjoining room. He also
moved that the meeting take an adojurn
meiit until 3:30 In the afternoon. The mo
tion waa adopted.
Immediately after President Harahan had
called the meeting to order with three raps
of his gavel, at 3:45 o'clock, Mr. Cromwell
arose and said:
"I am Informed by the members of the
committee on proxies that they have been
unable to finish their work and are not
prepared to report for several hours. I
therefore move that an adjournment be
taken until s:30 o'clock tonight."
Cromwell' Motion Lost.
Instantly Janus A. Patten was on his
feet. Mr. Patten Is u large man whose ap- i
Dear Slice and manner suggest that he is
entirely cupabln of caring for himself In
any kind of a fight. He objected strongly
to the adjournment, saying:'
"I move to amend the motion by making
the hour 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
j There are many stockholders here who live
I outside the city and for whom It la tneuu
I vt nlent to attend a nlliliHetlng. I want
I to transact the business of this meeting
and I intend to do so, but I want to slerp
tonight."
Mr. Cromwill called fur the ayes and
noes. The chorus of "aye" was ao strong
that he did not Insist upon a votu on the
negative, doclaiing the meeting adjourned.
Bth sides are atlll apparently confident
of the result. Mr.. Hsh sahi tonight:
"I have great hopes, but we cannot tell
as yet."
Mr. Harriman declared: "I cannot pre
dict Una results of the meeting, but it may
be said that it wilt be a clean cut ll-ht.
If we fall to vote enough stock to control
the meeting the issue will be up to the
courts."

FONTANET, Ind.. Ovt. !. The residents
of this village of 1.0OO Inhabitants when
they awoke this morning found a much
! different situation than they had been oc
! customed to In the past. Instead of a
quiet country town and pleasant aoenery
' to gieet their eyes desolation was at hand.
1 Soldiers of the Indiana state mllltla were
j here and had stood guard all through the
night.
Detalla aa to what had caused the ter
rible cntaatrophe of yesterday when the
Du Pont powder mills blew up, killing
probably thirty-five and Injuring some six
hundred persons were lacking. No one con
nected with the powder company could
ascribe any reason fpr.the explosion. Sev
eral rumors were current, one of the most
probable circulated was that the machinery
In the glaslng mill became overheated from
t friction and set fire to loose powder. The
glazing mill waa the one first to blow up.
The othef sections of the plant followed
In rapid succession.
A number of .people were able hy patch
ing up their ,hoves to pass a fairly com
fortable night. The remainder were aecoiri
modHted with sleeping room on cots placed
In tents brought' here By orders of Gov
ernor Hanly. Systematic efforts are going
forth and within a short tlnie It Is thought
most of tho house wlH be repaired In such
a manner as to permit, the reoccupatlon
of them by their tenants and owners.
Stat Authorities, in Charge.
The officers of Company B. Indiana Na
tional guard, which ten. brought here early
last night, report that the night passed
without disturbance of any kind. The sol
rilers were distributed So as to guard as
much, of the town as possible. The guards.
men were Instructed to shoot at sight any
attempt at looting or doing any dastardly
act of this kind. It Is understood the state
authorities will Immediately begin an. In
vestigatlon of the cause of the disaster.
The Injured passed-a -fairly comfortable
night and no additional deaths at this
place are reported. Systematic efforts to
search for victims among the debris In the
powder mills were begun this morning.
Men were distributed so as to make a
thorough search for further victims of the
disaster of yesterday. A number of coffina
was received here this morning from Terre
Haute and the bodies of those recovered
will be burled today.
The total number of dead probably will
never be known and fT will be several days
before the exact amount of property loss
can be figured tut.
Amonnt of Damage.
The loss to the powder company In prop
erty damage is estimated at $iW,000, In
cluding 66,000 kegs of powder stored In the
magazine, which exploded. The property
loss In the town of Fontanet will exceed
$500,000.

Among the first huslnias transacted din
ing tho regular October term of I'nlted
States court, width now Is in Fesslon in
Sioux Falls, was the pronouncing of sen
tence by Judr! Carlnnd In the case of JoV-i
J. Burns, a Sioux Falls salesman, who wa
Indicted on the charge of sending objection
ab!o letters through the malls. Burns ear'y
this week appeared before Judge Carland
anil pleaded guilty to the charge.
Judge Carland Imposed a fine of $150.
Immediately upon leaving the court room
Mr. Burns paid the amount of the fine.
The rase of .Inim Q. Anderson, a prom
inent stockman nnd politician who residei
In tlu Missouri liver section of South Da
kota, !! motion of C. P Bates, Ander
son's att jrii.jy, was dismissed. This Is one
of the f.imotis li.nd fraud trses Instituted
by the government a year or two ago. Four
Indictments were returned against Mr. An
derson. It was urged In behalf of the de
fendant that ever since his Indictment he
ha been ready for trial, but that tho case
has been continued from one term of federal
court to another on motion of the govern
ment. An Immediate trial was demsnded.
On motion the case of I J. Ahman, man
ager of the Sioux Falls branch house of an
eastern brewing company, also was dis
missed, the government not opposing this
action. Ahman wak Indicted on the charge
of making a shipment of beer without at
taching to the shipment the neces.nry In
ternal revenue stamps.
A number of defendants who were in
dicted at the Dcadwood term of federal
court on charges of larceny and Introduc
ing liquor Into Indian reservations, were ar
raigned before Judge Carland, and all but
two of them entered pleas of guilty.
As no grand Jury was summoned for the
present term of federal court the term
promises not to be a very prolonged one.
as there are comparatively few criminal
cases to be tried.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Oct. 16.-(Speclal.)-The
controversy of long standing between
If. C Lingle of Denver, the state of
Wyoming and the government reclama
tion service Is in a fair way to be ad
justed soon. Conferences have recently
been held and at which a division of the
water of the government ditch In Whalen
canon, In the northern part of this
county, was agreed upon by all parties to
the controversy,
. Several years ago when the reclama
tion service undertook the construction
Of a canal from the Platte river In the
vicinity of Guernsey to Irrigate lands In
eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska,
It was found that Mr. LIngle, with his
Whalen Falls project,' had titlo to the
only feasible route for a canal from the
Platte to the Nebraska lands, and an ar
rangement was entered whereby ' Mr.
LIngle turned over ' his right-of-way
through the canon to tho government,
which took over that portion of the LIngle
ditch already constructed. By the terms
of this transfer Mr. LIngle was to re
ceive certain rights to water, but thero
have been numerous hitches, and not un
til a few days ago was the matter finally
adjusted. In the meantime farmers set
tling under the portion of tho LIngle
dltsh used by the government, and also
those under the government portion of
the canal have been uncertain as to tho
title of their water rights. The controv
ersy has In a rneasure retarded the set
tlement of the lands.

seems that a row waa started at the din
ner table between Tom Downs, sometimes
called "Big Tom," and another man named
Burleigh, In which Tom, who was under
the Influence of liquor, was very abusive.
and threatened to shoot Burleigh. Taylor
was at the table, but was In no way mixed
up In the quarrel After dinner Taylor went
to the bunk-houee and Big Tom went down
to the office. In a short time he returned,
and when passing the dining room he was
seen to have a revolver with him. He went
on up to the bunk-house, and finding the
door fastened he broke It In. The women
in the dining room then heard loud talk
ing and; a scuffle. A little later Tom came
running down to the dining room and told
Mr. Burleigh an! the women that Taylor
waa accidentally shot, but was not badly
hurt. They Immediately went up and found
Taylor on the floor Just breathing his lust.
