PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1C , The receivers
Of the Heading railroad have approved the re
organization plan conceived by Ckbrge H.
Katie. Jr. , rnd perfected by the Olcott-Ilarle
reorganization c.tnmlttce. Thu moJt Im
portant part of the whole plan leaked out
yesterday afternoon and Is now made public
for the first time. This is a provision for a
compulsory assessment up n the stock and
the thrc.o aeries of preference income bonds ,
accompanied by a threat that If thu holders
' of these securities da not pay the assessment
the Heading property will bo sold under fore
closure of the general m.rtgage. The alter
native will , It Is said , be brought forward in
all seriousness. The method to ba employed
ls decidedly ingenious.
The stockholders and junior bondholders
are to bo asked to subscribe at par for collat
eral trrst bonds to'the amount ot $10,000-
000 , There arc outstanding in round numbers
$60,000,000 of preference Income bonds and
$40,000,000 of stock , a total of $100.000,000 par
value. Each holder if tbe&e securities , there
fore , will bo asked to gubscrlbo for collateral
trust bonds to tlio amount of 10
. per cent ot his holdings. Thus the
holder ot 100 shares of stock ,
par value (5,000 ( , would subscribe fGOO and
receive In return a $500 collateral trust bond ,
Those , however , who deslro to subscribe for
their share of the bonds will ba asked to
pay 3 per cent of the par value of their
holdings lo a syndicate , which will then
relieve them of the < obligation to subscribe
to the collateral trust bonds. Thus the
holder of 100 shaTes will pay the syndicate
$150 , and the holder ot a $1,000 $ preference
bond will pay $30. $ Another factor of im
portance concerns the treatment which Is
accorded the bondholders of the Philadelphia ,
Reading & New Kngland railroad , better
known as the Poughkccpale bridge system.
Whllo no mention of these bonds will be
made , soma of the prominent bondholders
have received assurances that their rights
will be recognized when the reorganization
is accomplished , or , In other words , that the
Heading will then resume the- fulfillment
of Us guarantee.

Connection- tlio ItllllncH Mno Ifnnt
The Burlington people are at present en
gaged In solving knotty problems affecting
the opening of the Hillings llns. To the
outsider the matter of making trains meet
at certain points seems to bo the easiest
thing Imaginable , and it Is when you know
what connections you have to make between
meeting points , but wjien a railroad opens
up an absolutely new territory , making con
nections with a competing line hundreds of
inlloa away , the problem becomes dccldsdly
brain-racking and neurasthenia is lllcily to
* result.
Tha passenger department of the Burllng-
f ton having the matter of passenger train
service In charge Is wrestling with the
question as to what intermediate points In
tlie new time card can be dropped out of
consideration In arranging th : schedule for
the 10:15 : train , which will handle the Bil
lings business for the winter. Next spring ,
however , a. late afternoon train will bo put
on and the 10:15 : train made secondary. While
the general points are well defined In inn Ic
ing a time card , the serious question that
confronts yia general passenger agent is , at
what places can the train stop for meals
nnd what time will have to bo made between
Intermediate points In order to handle the
business nt division points , at the same time
not Interfere with branch Una trains.
Ono of the serious questions which cntcre
into the opening ot the Hillings line Is the
consideration ot whether to run tourist sleep
ers. Up to the present the question has not
been decided , and a meeting of the chiefs
of the Burlington will have to be held be
fore the matter is finally stiled. !
The last Bpllco will soon he driven at Huntley -
ley , and already material Is cnroute for shops
nnd houses for the employes. Thers is nc
reason , however , for believing that connec
tlon will be made with the Northern Pacific
before th ? last ot the month , and Itwill be
about October 15 before the flrst through
passenger train is run on the extension ,

session here , unanimously passed the follow-
ng resolution last night :
"Whereas , The negroes of the south are
charged by their white neighbors as being
possessed of such unbridled lusts as con
stantly exposes the white women of the
south to the attacks and abuses of the
rapists , and
" \Vhcrcas , The negroes' 'supposed guilt'
las caused the white people of certain sec
tions of the country to pour upon us such
forms of mob violence as seldom seen In
any clvlli/cd country , and
"Whereas , We realize that no crime which
can be committed ncalnst the virtuous fe
male can Impose upon her a greater and
severer personal loss than the crime of rape
and that no crime which may be committed
against a state can do more to hlot out the
sentiment of love of justice from the hearts
of the people and to undermine the stability
and prosperity of the government than the
reign of mobs , therefore be It
"Resolved , lllst , that xvo hate with all the
strength of our godfearing hearts the diaboli
cal crjmc of rape , whether In white or black ,
and vow to nso all the legal and moral means
at our command to put down and crush out
the brutlHli disposition whjch would thus
fearfully and wantonly trample upon fcmalo
virtue ; second , that the taking of human
life for rape or other crimes without ade
quate proof of guilt , established by due
process of law. Is itself a crime and a species
of. barbarism und lawlessness which wo pray
the people of the country no longer to tel
erate. "
The resolution thunked Ida B. Wells and

NEW YOUK , Sipt. 16 , Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes of the situation In Wall stret :
"There has been some reaction -from the
activity on the Stock exchange Immediately
following the ending of tariff legislation , but
nevertheless the Improved tone of the market
and the Increased strength of values are
fully maintained. It seems too early , In
deed , to expect any really large nnd continu
ous speculative movement nt the present
stage of recovery. Confidence has been sura-
clently strengthened to prevent selling at the
present rarig ; of prices , but we must wait for
a fuller development of the general effects
of the revival , nnd especially for a more
continuous Increase In the earnings of the
railroads , before there Is an influx of buyers
sulllclcnt to produce a really active specula
tive condition. Naturally enough , after such
a period of depression and ur.sttlemcnt , there
Is more or less of a cautious temper In every
direction , and this shows Itself In a disposi
tion to lake moderate profits , There Is , how
ever , none of that nhteno ; of means for
spsculatlve transactions that Usually proves
to be one of the most stubborn after-effects
of panic. On the contrary , the extraordinary
eas > o In. money has brought Into the market
an unusually Targe amount of funds for em
ployment in stocks so coon as the conditions
become rips for a general nnd material rise
In values , and , at a later stage , the purchases
of this class of operators are likely to de
velop a very active campaign. In the mean
time , however , there Is a good basis for pur
chases on the breaks In prices , and the policy
of quick turns for moderate profits Is likely
to bring satisfactory results , The market
has the disadvantage of being much nar
rowed through the large amount of securities
held In suspense by the reconstruction of so
many large railroad companies , Some of
these readjustments are now Hearing a settle
ment , and there Is naturally a disposition
among practiced operators to defer trans
actions until the market Is stimulated by
these securities returning to their usual
activity.
"The government crop report on corn
had at first nn unfavorable effect upon the
market. On second thought , however , the
estimates are discredited as far too low.
The recent unfavorable weather has no doubt
put the former highest estimates beyond all
hope of realization ; but nobody , except a
handful of 'bears , ' Is prepared to accept an
estimate of 1,100,000,000 bushels , which Is
about what the bureau's statement amounts
to. It Is very unfortunate that a depart
ment backed by all the prestige of the
United Stales government should systemat
ically put forth estimates upon crops
amounting to close upon ? 1,500,000,000 In
value , which are generally found to be under
the truth and misleading. The most char
itable sup posit Ion is that the bureau of ag
riculture Is unavoidably exposed to errors
or misrepresentations on the part of its
agents , which make it impossible to Insure
accuracy ; but if that be the fact and it
probably Is there Is all the more reason
why that department should dispense with
the superfluity of a statistician.
Wall street is already beginning to occupy
Itself with the prospects of the coming con
gressional elections. The main matter
around which Interest centers Is the cur
rency question. It Is taken for granted that
that Issue must come up for settlement , even
though the session of congress bo the short
one , and much Interest turns on the quts-
tlon how far the disposition of the next
congress may bo changed on the currency
question ? The possibility that both parties ,
owing to the party competition , may bid for
the votes of th ; populists Is the 'main ' cause
of any uneasiness on this account. It is ,
however , very possible that the Influence
of any more populist theories may be
thwarted by congress taking up the question
next December and putting it through before -
fore the 4th of March. There has been no
congressional action to show very clearly
how congressional opinion -stands upon the
currency issue , but among members of the
houa ; who have been best situated to form a
jdgmenl there Is a strong hope that It may
be found possible to carry through , before
next March , a measure that will set at rest
the silver and the flat moncv crazes through
putting our bank currency system upon a
broader nnd moro liberal and yet absolutely
secure basis , and by substituting It for the
? S > 00COO,000 of government notes which now
constitute the weak feature of our monetary
system. If this can bo done , the monetary
complexion of the new congress will be n
matter of secondary consideration. It rests
very much with the men of finance whoso
experience affords the best qualifications for
guiding opinion on this question to show
the way toward an early and wise settlement
of this vexed question. Tlure are ways In
which they can make their guidance In
fluential , and in proportion as they discreetly
lisa their power will bo the chances of a
final placing- the currency sUtlement be
yond tbe reach of both silver maniacs and
populists. "

armed liiMlie1 presence of the people who

falls Into the humor of thu situations until
reason Is dethroned nnd the audience only
lives to Inugh. It has been a very long time
since so clever n comedy has bien Been on

natural nnd forced in spots ; "I-idy Winder-
tnorc'a Kan" was cynical to n degree , dealIng -
Ing with emotions nnd passions as a sur

far as age Is concerned , by any means , for

Its revival In London twu years ago gave
American managers u desire to try It again ,
and the rights havlnc been purchased , Miss

what Is n Hat without such n useful piece
of furniture ? Its BUCCESJ has been remarkable -
able , and yet thoroughly deserved , for Its
Fdttiiitlcna are by no means trained , deal

appeals la thousands of people who live In

of the butcher , the baiter , the caiuUeottck

that quite keeps the play within the lines
of serious , farce , and yet aids materially In
the susKcstlvcness of the situations , which
ire so thoroughly ludlcrau-j that one cannot

While thetlrst net Is a trltle tame , being :
purely explanatory , the second act has
lover been excelled even by the Geiman or
French farceurs whofo plnya have been
everlastingly done on this side of the water
for years. It Is thoroughly original , spark
ling In dialogue , humorous In situation ,
rapid In action. It also proves n IOSSCMI to

Installment man descend upon the furniture ,

IOWA HDtCT LAW TESTED
.Decision of the Dhtrlct Court Uph.lds th )
Legislature's Work ,
JUDGE SPURRIER S YS IT IS GOOD
In n Cno Itruuglit Under the AiHilc | < - of
lliu luwa Mutti Temperance Alliance
tin Siiyn It M CiinntUu ( omit
unit ( ) j , > rnitlir.
DI29 M01NES , Sept. IS. Judge Spurrier
of the Polk district court , yesterday nfter-
noon rendered a. decision In which he holds
the Iowa "mulct" liquor law to be constitu
tional and full ; , operative. Tlip decision was
rendered In a case brought under the
auspices of the State Temperance Alliance
committee of 100 by B. K. Witter against J.
W. IJorltner , proprietor of a saloon , nnd W ,
W. Moore , owner of the building wherein It
la located , Judge Spurrier , In his opinion ,
which was not committed to writing until
Into last night , states thp case as follows :
' 'This Is an action to enjoin the defendant
Forkner from maintaining a nuisance In the
city of Des Molnos by selling Intoxicating
: lquors as a. bsverago In a building owned by
thp other defendant. The petition Is In the
usiul form , nnJ In addition thereto , In para-
sraph 0 , the plaintiff avers that chapter
U.J of the acts of the Twenty-fifth general
assembly , the same being entitled 'An act
taxing the tratllc In Intoxicating liquors'and
particularly section 17 of said act. Is void
and contrary to tho. provisions of section C ,
article 1. of the constitution of the state of
Iowa , for reasons that will hereinafter bo
elated , And that the whole of the subject
matter of said act 1s not Included lu or
properly referred to In the title of snld act.
The plaintiff further alleges that the petition
of consent filed with the. auditor of Polk
county , Iowa , la not In compliance with the
provision , of said act , that the said petition
of consent Is not verified as required by
law , and the said petition Is not signed by
a majority of the voters residing In said
city who voted at the last general election.
ITS CONSTITUTIONALITY QUESTIONED.
"The plaintiff admits that Defendant Fork
ner has paid the tax as provided for by said
section 17. Ily other pleadings and stipula
tions In the case the question of tlio con
stitutionality of the acts referred to is put
In Issue , the validity of the petition of con
sent as far as Its form Is concerned and the
verification thereof are llkcwlss submitted to
the court. "
The sufficiency of the petition Tiled with
the county auditor as to the number of
signers was not submitted In this case , which
was Intended to simply deal with ths gen
eral subject of the constitutionality of the
law , The title to chapter C2 of the twenty-
fifth general asesmbly Is' "An act to tax
the tralllc In Intoxicating- liquors and to
regulate and control the same. " The plain
tiffs contended that the title did not Include
all the subject matter of the law and tlmt the
law was therefore unconstitutional. The court
holds that while there Is some reason ( or
plaintiffs contention , still , in a general way ,
the word "regulate" In the title cariles with
It the "license" feature of the law. The
Important question , according to Judge Spur-
rlir , presented for determination Is that re
lating to th : validity and constitutionality
of section 17 , which provides as.follows :
_ "In any city of 5,000 or more Inhabitants
the tax hereinbefore specified may be paid
quarterly in advance on the 1st day of Jan
uary , April , July nnd October of each yeir ,
and , after a written statement of consent
signed by a majority of the voters residing
In said city who voted nt the last general
election shall have been filed with the county
auditor , such payment aliall , upon the fol
lowing conditions , ba n bar to proceedings
Under the statute prohibiting such business. "
DELEGATES CERTAIN POWERS.
On this subject Judge Spurrier says :
"It Is contended by counsel for plaintiff
that the legislature lias no power to enact a
law which depends upon the consent of the
people afterward to give It force or cause It
to become operative , and that the responsi
bility Is upoa the hglslature to determine the
expediency of all Its enactments. It Is ar-
uued with much foice Hint the act of the
legislature Is without any validity , for
the reason that it places In the
power of : ' the people of various lo
calities for all practical purposes to legis
late upon the question of the traffic In in-
loxlcatintc liquors , thus creating a condition
by which the sale of Intoxicating liquors
may be enjoined ns a nuisance and constitute
an offense In some portions of the state ,
nnd at the same time have the respect of the
people and sanctions of law In other portions
tions , This making the net In a double
'sense Is contrary to the provisions of the
constitution. If , as claimed , the act under
consideration delegates legislative power to
the people , there Is the end of the Inquiry ,
for all the courts hold that the legislature
cannot confer upon the people the power
to enact or make a law. .The legislature
clearly hao no such right or power. Hut It
Is not to be forgotten that n large portion of
our laws and statutory provisions to become
operative are made to depend upon the per
formance upon some specllled act or acts
or the happening of some contingency. And
the Important Inquiry hero Is whether the
provisions of this act Is an attempted delega
tion to the people to make a law , or whether
it falls within the class Just referred to.
An examination of the authorities In this
state does not leave this question free from
doubt. "
WILL CARRY THB CASE HIGHER.
The Iowa cases were taken up and dis
cussed by the court , who then continued :
"In a determinant ) of this case it must not
be forgotten that , by the express terms of
the act under consideration. It Is sold. It Is
not intended In any manner to legalize in
any manner the sale of intoxicating liquors
within the state , and that It Is claimed that
the power to suspend the operation of the
law In cities and towns upon th ? conditions
enumerated has merely been conferred upon
city councils of the various municipalities in
the sate , It Is conceded by counsel for
plaintiff that the legislature has the author
ity to confer upon the city councils the power
to regulate the sale of liquors , And , by thp
provisions of the act under consideration ,
the authority of the city council Is nec
essary before the sale of Intoxicating liquors
can be made in harmony with the act. And
It seems to the court the claim that the act
under consideration Is unconstitutional ad
mits of grave doubts. In view of the fore-
gping consideration , under a well ncognlrcd
rule of the cpurj , the invalidity of the law In
question bplng neither plain nor apparent , If
invalid It should ha left to the determination
of the appellate court , and. for oth < r seasons
stated. I am constrained to deny the relief
prayed by plaintiff In this case. "
This Is the first decision upon the consti
tutionality of the new liquor law. The pro-
hlbltipnlsU are considerably elated over what
little encouragement they find in the opinion
rendered , and the case will be taken to th
suprme court as 'speedily as possible.

NEW YOUK , Sept. 1C. Away out on thu
old ocean , with land on either aide. 1,600
miles away , and on A vessel which they be
lieved to be sinking , was the iwslllon in
which the paisenge'rs of the steamer Itallu
found themselves on September 8 , Tim
ttnlln. did not sink , hut came sntcly Into potc
today with as scared a crew and passoiiRcra
nsveru over found on shipboard. That
something did not occur seems n marvel ,
for nothing short of a miracle madfe the
I In I la stand the near and tear of a. batllo
with the'waves. .
When she reached port today she pre
sented a faint resemblance to the craft that
left hero two months ago for the Medi
terranean. Most of her Ufa bents weni
missing , and such as were not were unfit for
Uo. They were atiived In nmi battered In ,
while the Interior of the iron hulled vessel ,
at least as fjr ns the passenger quarters
xvere concerned , was almost n total wreck.
Thu damage WOB all duo to one wave. The
Italia was not the only crntt that had a
rough passage. The Hindoo from Hull ,
luckily without passengers , had a similar
though not nulto such a disastrous ex
perience. She , ( oo , was badly dumeged , Six
of the ofllccrs and crpvv of the Ittilln. were
Injiirrd. Second Olllccr Chcw.iti was washed
off the starboard ladder nnd thrown
against a ventilator , sustaining serious
bruises. Captain Cralgpc and Itoatswnln
McFarlane were thrown Into the Ice scup
pers , and when the steamer rolled ivcro
landed against the smoking room. The
captain's leg wag bruised and the boatswain
received severe Injuries. The third engineer
was severely Injured about the hack and left
leg.On
On September the storm Increased In
fury , and at 3 o'clock Captain Cralgg Worked
her towards the sea. For three hours the
passengers were huddled together In the
cabin waiting for what they supposed to ba
their last moment. The steamer rolled
from side to side as If she were going to
keel over , while the voices of the crew could
bo heard above the storm repeating the
orders from the bridge. The steering gear
hud parted , leaving the stejnishlp at Uia
mercy of the sea. An attempt was nude to
ship nnd man the hand genr , "bul bcforo It
could be done a big wave boarded the steam-
fllilp over the port how and rolled along
the deck , carrying "everything before It.
Lifeboats were smashed nnfl carried away ,
the smoking room nnd hospital doors were
burst In ojid the steam pipes on the deck
broken and bent. The chairs screwed to the
floor were torn up. the cabin flooded , nnd
considerable other damage done. The crew ,
who had been putting In the hand steering
