MILLIONS IN A LAW SUIT.
Former Pennsylvania Oil Doolon Seek
Vul Home for Being Broken Up.
PnT3Buno, Pa., Oct ft. — Waring
Bros. & Co., to-day filed statements in
suits against the Pennsylvania Rail
road company to recover $3,300,000.
The suits were originally brought in
1877 and 1880, but were not pressed un
til now. The plaintiffs were in the oil
business and between November 30,
1873, and March 1, 1873, shipped from
Oil City and other points over the
Pennsylvania railroad to Philadelphia
477.774 barrels of oil, on which, it is
cluimed, the defendants overcharged
8070,300.33. The second suit is for
81,500,000 damages. The plaintiffs
state that they invested 81,300,000 in
their plant; that the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad company, the Standard
Oil company, the Atlantic Refining
company, the Atlantic Storage com
pany. Warden, Frew A Co. and Ward
A Andrew conspired to prevent them
from shipping their petroleum over
the railroads at an equitable rate,
charging them four times as much as
other shippers paid, and out of the
overcharges paying large sums to the
plaintiffs' competitors. Warden, Frew
A Co., Uostick & Co., J. D. Archibald,
Charles Pratt A Co., the Standard Oil
company, Lockhard A Frew and oth
ers. As a result, it is alleged, the
plaintiffs were forced to abandon
their business.
FOREST FIRE SUFFERERS.
Land Commlnlonor Lamoreitnx Ailu Con
ireu to Allow Timber Cutting.
Washington, Oct. 6.—S. W. Lamor
oaux, commissioner of the general
land office, in his annual report to
the secretary of the interior, makes
several suggestions for the benefit of
the sufferers by forest fires in Mich
igan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
He says: “The timber destroyed by
fires in public lands has been
left in such a condition that if not
cut and disposed of in a short time it
will become worm-eaten and worth
less, thus depriving the land of a
great proportion of Its value to the
settler seeking title thereto. Numer
ous applications have been made by
the sufferers from these fires for per
mission to cut the timber ut once and
sell it.” lie therefore recommends
that congress be asked to give the
permission necessary to allow the
cutting of this timber and thus pre
vent the total loss of millions of feet,
lie also suggests that congress take
necessary steps for the relief of fire
sufferers, following the precedent set
in similar cases.
BISHOP MATZ ON THE A. P. A.
—
He Severely Denounces the Organization
In His October Pastoral.
Denver, Col., Oct 6.—In his October
pastoral Bishop Matz says the church
in Colorado is passing through an ap
palling crisis. “It is," he says, “sec
tarian bigotry, which, led on by a set
of fanatics, bids fair to outdo the fol
lowers of Cromwell and the maniacs of
the French Commune. It is a fact which
has called forth the amazement of the
most remarkable men of our time,
that an age like ours, and a country
over which floats the American flag,
Bhouid have fostered this A. P. A.
monster, which, while it carries the
constitution of the United States in
one hand and the bibie in the other,
would fain strangle with its deadly
fangs the church whose children
fought so bravely under the stars and
stripes against tyranny and oppres
sion. But the fact, nevertheless, re
mains, and is, indeed, more strange
than fiction."
The bishop urges Catholics to vote
for men who are above prejudice,
party passions and sectarian bias.

the gold and silver dollars of the con
stitution and their paper representa

citizenship shall not be stained or
polluted; sympathy with liberty and
republican government at home and
abroad; Americanism every where; the
flag never lowered or dishonored; no
surrender in Samoa; no barbarous
queen beheading men in Hawaii; no
lynchings, no punishment .without
trial; faith kept with the pensioners;
no deserving old soldier in the poor
house; suppression of dram drinking
and dram selling; a school at the
public charge open to all children;
and free from partisan or sectarian
control; no distinction of birth or re
ligious creed in the rights of Ameri
can citizenship; clean politics; pure
administration; no lobbyists; reform
of old abuses; leadership along loftier
paths; minds ever open to the sun
light and the morning, ever open to
new truth and new duty as the new
years bring their lessons.”

Isidore Strauss of this state.
Mr. Wilson, who was looking excel

joyed my trip very much. 1 did not
go over to talk tariff, but I met a
number of the leading financial and
business men in London at the cham
ber of commerce dinner. I spoke to
them then, and said the new
tariff bill was not made to suit
them, but to suit Americans. My
remarks, I believe, were cabled over
here, and I have nothing to add to
them. The British will have to look
out for us when we get free raw ma

Ciiicaoo, Oct. 8.—Reports are cur

Democrat, Judge Lyman Trumbull, in
appearing as a Populist campaign
speaker, is carrying out part of a deep
laid scheme. It is asserted that, hav
ing made himself solid with the Pop
ulists, he hopes to be the choice
for United States senator of such
representatives as that party may suc
ceed in electing to the Illinois legis
lature. It is not impossible that the
Populists may hold the balance of
power in the joint assembly, and it is
claimed that Judge Trumbull sees in
such a condition a chance to have
himself forced upon the Democrats as
a compromise, and Franklin McVeagh
dropped as an impossibility.
