BRETONS ATTACK MILITARY
The Great Western railway case, or, as
It is technically known, the Mason City &
Fort Dodge Railway Company against The
Union Pacific Railway Company, was
argued before Judge Munger In the United
States circuit court yesterday. Argument
was opened by Frank B. Kellogg of St.
Paul, general counsel for the Great West
ern, asslstsd by Woolworth & McHugh of
Omaha.
The argument Is made for the right of the
Great Western railway to make connec
tions at Council Bluffs to paas over the
Union .Pacific railway bridge and Into South
Omaha on the same terms granted to other
railways. Mr. Kellogg cited the acts of 18-4
1866 and 1871, creating the Union Pacific rail
way and the Missouri liver bridge and Its
approaches by congress as the authority for
the Great Western to use the approaches
and bridge on the same terms with roads
that had already been granted that privi
lege, lie stated that the people of Omaha
and Council Bluffs foresaw, with a clear
tiesa of vision, the development of this
great western empire and copied the
declaration of congress In devoting the land
for the purposes of the bridge and voting
bonds for its constructions on the specific
terms that the roads approaching these
cities from the east and west should be ac
corded the privilege of its use under the
conditions of compensation. He also held
that the same conditions existed as In the
case of the Rock Island and Milwaukee
roads, which were subsequently permitted
to make the desired connections and be
accorded passage over the bridge with
their trains, etc, as well aa the privilege of
availing of the terminals and Union depot
facilities.
Why tko Difference.
Why should the Great Western be com
pelled to build around the city fifteen miles
4. a great expanse to get into South
tnWsahaT" asked Mr. Kellogg. "The Great
Vkjstrn asked nothing absolutely that was
not granted 4o the Missouri Pacific, the
Chicago Northwestern and the Rook
Island Railway companies, and nothing
but what it vu entitled to. The law did
not mean, when it referred to the roads
approaching the Missouri river from the
oast and west, that they should approach
only to the high or low water mark of that
river, but it .did mean at or. near Omaha.
The bridge act of 1871 is an amendment to
the Union Pacific charter and Is but a con
tinuation of the acts of 1862 and 1864 and
applies to the successors and assigns of
the Ucilon Pacifio Railway company and
was binding upon any company that should
thereafter tske over the property of the
Union Pacific. Judge Sanborn's decision
was that the judgment should be binding
upon all companies, successors to the
Union Pacific and that the foreclosure of
the government mortgage prior to the
building of the bridge did not release the
Union Pacific from the conditions of Its
charter and the laws of 1862-4-. The law
was very specific on this matter, stating
'that all railways now or hereafter con.
strueted' and that 'congress shall at all
times regulate the tax tolls over the
bridge.' When the new Union Pacific took
over the property of the old road It took
also all Its easements and all conditions
Imposed hi the original charter. If it has
the right to cut out the Great Western,
why did It not cut out the Milwaukee and
the Rock Island. And it has made a new
contract with the Milwaukee since.
Baldwla Begins to Talk.
The Interests of the Union Pacific are
being looked after by J. N. Baldwin, attor
ney for that road.
Mr. Baldwin occupied nearly the entire
afternoon in his argument He contend m1
that the exact opposite prevailed to the
argument of the attorney for the com
plainant. that the Union Pacific bridge was
built for the accommodation of all rail
roads that might come Into Omaha. The
bridge was built under the law of 1882 and
1SC4, and not under the law of IStiS. It
was built by and for the Union Pacific
railway as a financial enterprise and not
for the Great Western or any other rail
way but the Union Pacific. I'nder the law
of ISM the Union Pacific had not only the
right to build railroad bridges, but ferries
across rivers for the accommodation of It
own trains. Neither did the law of 1ST
stecify that It should permit the access oi
other railways over Its terminals, tracks or
bridges. The law was enacted merely to
grant the Union Pacific company permls
Inn to Issue bonds to build the Omaha
bridge. Those laws meant that "you should
take such railroads over your bridge a
you choose, and refuse such ss you chose
The law said further, he maintained: "You
connections shall be on the east side of tl
Missouri river at Council Bluffs. The law
of 1871 said we will let you (the Union Pa
clflc) borrow money to build a bridge for
a more perfect connection with jour con-
ncctlons east of the river."
nights of rm Company.
He denied that the law of IMS even said
that the Union Pacific must take the con
necting lines over the bridge. That law
said that some brldpes were for all railroads
and others were not. Nor was the Union
Pacifio mortgage foreclosed. The new
Union Pacific Hallway company simply
purchased and paid fur the property, in
cluding the claims of the bondholders, and
the chilra of the United States for S57.0UO.
009, and thereby acquired all of Its prop
erty. This bridge therefore belongs to the
new company by right of purchase. The
outstanding bonds of the bridge were per
mitted, by the decision of Judge Sanborn,
to stand aa the superior Urn of u)l clulms
against the company, thereby affirming the
absolute ownership of the bridge to the new j
Union Pacific company "to have, hold and 1
enjoy."
To let any railroad go over the bridge
Impairs Its security. The consent of the
holders of the first mortgage bonds of the
bridge must be obtained to permit any
other roads to paas over It; tit do other
wise would Impair their rights. The new

PARIS. Aug. 6. The morning papers re
port serious rioting at L'Orlent, on the
coast of Brittany, where labor troubles
have been brewing for several days.
Last night the rioters assembled in the
Place Alsace-Lorraine and attacked the
military club over the Grand cafe. They
also stoned and broke shop windows.
The military was called out, but the
rioters put out street lights and erected
barricades. The cavalry charged and rode
down the mob, the troopers striking men
with the flat edge of their swords. It
seems probable that the rioting will con
tinue throughout the night. The crowds
show no signs of dispersing. At midnight
they were marching to attack the prefecture.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Two more Stock
exchange failures, making a total of six In
the last- eleven business days, were
recorded today, when Sharp & Bryan and
Hurlbutt, Hatch A Co. announced their in
ability to meet their obligations. Neither
failure occasioned the slightest surprise;
In fact both had been discounted for a
week or more.
The failure of Sharp & Bryan came dur
ing the morning session rhortly after the
market had recovered from its demoralised
opening. That of Hurlbutt, Hatch & Co.
was announced in the afternoon Just as
prices throughout the list were tumbling
lower than at any time before.
The day's business can best be summar
ised by the statement that almost tour
score of stocks, fully two-thirds of the ac-
tive list, touched the lowest record reached J
during the present movement, which bad
its inception last September.
Bay Oatlook Is Clearing.
At the close of the day some of the solid
interests, and It Is suggested that these in
terests have been out of the market for
weeks save here and there when support
was most necessary, spoke reassuringly.
They declared the financial atmosphere
was clearing, but for all that Wall strset
as a whole could see no silver lining to the
clouds, much less a golden one.
Other failures are confidently predicted
and the names of several Important firms
are mentioned aa among those in financial
straits.
A sharp break in sterling exchange dur
ing the day was coupled with the sugges
tion that at least one International banking
house had been making desperate efforts
to borrow money abroad.
Officers of leading local banks and trust
companies declined to discuss the situation
except to express confidence as to the
sound condition of financial Institutions,
The day began ominously. Opening prices
on the exchange were decidedly lower al
most all through the list, but the break
was checked by supporting orders. In
fact veteran observers were beard to de
clare that but for this support a panic
would certainly have occurred.
The Sharp & Bryan failure made little
impression in values, but toward noon the
list receded, the decline embracing virtu
ally all the standard stocks. The market
then became dull and hesitating, but in the
last hour and a half stocks were again
thrown over ruthlessly and the close was
weak and extremely feverish. Today's
shrinkage alone aggregates many millions
of dollars.
Weak Holders Slaughtered
Countless stop-loss orders were caught In
the selling avalanche and It is probable
hundreds of weak accounts were closed In
utter disregard of the losses sustained by
their owners.

At the first trial Faulkner was con

the case the second time disagreed.
Faulkner's counsel Immediately filed n
motion fir a new trial, and bond In the

that he was confident of ultimate ac

and woe followed by Cook. Williams and

Statements have been made In certain

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5 One of the heaviest
storms of the yeur, but of brief duration,
swept over St. Louis at 3 this afternoon,
being preceded by a wind that In the west
ern portion of the city developed into a
miniature tornado which tore through the
World's fair grounds, killing one man,
probably fatally Injuring another and seri
ously maiming seven others, besides caus
ing damage to the buildings and other prop
erty to the extent of $10,000.
The fury of the storm was felt at the
World's fair grounds, where the casualties
occurred.
The dead:
THEODORE RICHTER, florist
The Injured:

The day had been extremely warm, the
temperature registering 94 degrees. Sud-.
denly the sky darkened and In a com
paratively" short time It became necessary
to resort to artificial lights in the stores.
Wind Breaks Windows.
Soon after the storm broke with the
force of a gale. In the city pedestrians
hurried to thelter and the wind swept
through the streets, causing little damage
besides breaking windows here and there,
tearing down a few street Mgns and level
ing shade trees.
At the World's fair grounds the wind
swept from the southeast to the north

wind next struck the machinery building
and one of the two towers, 360 feet in
height, was stripped of scaffolding in a
twinkling and two workmen hurled to the
ground, buried in the debris. Both es

Along Sklnker road, which passes through
the World's fair grounds, twenty telegraph
poles, heavily strung with wires, were
snapped like pipe-stems and fell across
the street-car track, for the lime blocking

The wind lasted about five minutes' and
was followed by a torrent of rain and hall.
After 50 minutes the storm had spent

The badly decomposed body of Chsrlas
Harryman was found in the weeds in the
rear of 2 29 Spruce street yesterday after
noon about 7 o'clock. The body was lo
cated by Police Captain Mostyn and 'Ed
ward Bucks, who occupies the house at
the number given.
Mr. Bucks had noticed a bad odor which
emanated from the weed patch In the
rear of his house all day yesterday and
t.srt of the previous day. He decided to
make an Investigation yesterday evening
and called Captain Mostyn to assist him.
There Is a tight board fence around a
small Incisure in the rear of Buck's prop
erty which had been built for a chicken
park by the owner, but w hich had not been
used for that purpose for some time. It
was in this spot that the search was be
gun. The two men had taken but a few
steps Into the high weeds when they came
upon the body lying close up againsi me
fence. The dead man was lying on his
face, with one arm thrown up to rest his
head upon. Vhe body was In a very bad
state of decomposition, tho flesh having
started to fall off of the hands and the
hair being almost all off the head.
There was nothing In the clothes to Uen
tlfy the Man with the exception of a small
memorandum book which contained some
notes. Among these was written In lead
pencil the name of the dead man and his
address was given as 1S22 Cuming suect.
There was also 20 cents In change in his
trousers pocket.
A reporter for The Bee called at the
number given In the memorandum book,
it was learned that G- D. Johnson, a
brother-in-law of the dead man, lived
there. He said that the body was un
doubtedly that of Harryman, as he had
not been seen since last Sunday morning.
Harryman had lived with Mr. Johnson up
to about two weeks ago. At that time he
left and secured a room near Sixteenth
and California streets.
Some of the residents In the vicinity
where the body was found assert that they
heard two bhots fired about 2 o'clock Tues
day morning, but It Is not thought that the
shooting was In any way responsible for
the death of Harryman, aa a thorough
examination was made of the remains by
Coroner Bralley and no marks were found
on the body. The body was taken in

The American pilgrimage, conducted by
John J. McGrnne of New York, and Father
Lynch of the Niagara University of Buf

Cardinal Gibbons had been asked yester

the Americans and had promised to do his
best, at the same time explaining how un

day after his 'election, to receive a foreign

They were met by Mgr. Kennedy, rector
of the American college, whose presence
was quite sufficient to make the Swiss
guard step back, present arms, and give
entrance to all. They trooped up the high
