ENGLISHMAN BRINGS ACTION.
A Cereta Spoon Coupon in Every Package
Accounting of the Expenditures of
Mr. Huntington and Associates In
Construction of Railroad Is De
manded. New York, Nov. 28. The estate of
Collis P. Huntington is defendant in
an action brought by English stock
holders of the Central Pacific railroad
to Recover $103,000,000 alleged to have
been converted by the late railroad
magnate.
As a preliminary to the suit the
executors of the estate have been
served with a notice to show cause
before Surrogate Thcm;s, Dec. 2, why
they should not be cc J5telled to give
an inventory of the estate left by the
late Mr. Huntington. It was explain
ed that this step was necessary m
order to ascertain what property had
been left by Mr. Huntington and to
take measures to' keep the estate in
tact.
The plaintiff in the case is WalteT
Morehead, a resident of England. Al
though he is the sole plaintiff at pres
ent, it was said that many others, all
Englishmen, will profit by the suit
should it be won.
Mr. Morehead, through his attorney,
Robert L. Cutting, demands an ac
counting of the expenditures of Mr.
Huntington and his associates of
$163,000,000 in the construction of the
Central Pacific railroad. Mr. More
head says only $60,000,000 was used
for the purpose named and that more
than $100,000,000 was appropriated
by Mr. Huntington and others.
Although the present suit is against
tie Huntington estate, it is stated
that it would be followed by other
suits against the estates of' Lelan.3
Stanford, Charles Crocker and Mark
Hopkins, who, with Mr. Huntington,
; vere well known as the "big four" of
tie Southern Pacific.
The papers in the suit allege that
wkile officer and directors of the
Central Pacific railroad, Mr. Hunting
ton, Mr. Stanford, Mr. Crocker and
Mr. Hopkins were interested in con
struction companies which built the
road, and that the contracts were let
at exhorbitant rates.
One of the specifications in the
complaint charges fraud. It states
that in pursuance of "fraudulent ar
rengeaents' $30,000,000 in United
States bonds and capital stock to the
total value, inclusive of the bonds, of
$it3,uuu,tno -were expended in "pre
tended payments," whereas it actu
ally cost but $60,000,000 to construct
the railroad. Another paragraph of
the complaint says:
"And as this plaintiff is informed
and believes that the said Huntington,
from the beginning of said fraud an 3
devices herein alleged and throughout
their pendency, for the most part di
rected and managed these schemes
and conspiracies to plunder the said
Central Pacific Railroad company,
which schemes and conspiracies were
consummated and resulted in the con.
version set forth."
Maxwell Evans, of the Mills build
ing, is counsel for the Huntington es
tate. Mr. Evarts declined to discuss
the suit, kut it was intimated that
the suit should have been brought
8 years ago instead of now if there
was any truth in the statements of
the plaintiff.

a freight elevator being constructs

Twenty -eighth street.
Harris was in the car and Deden
dorf was working at the bottom of the
shaft. A workman on the second
floor placed a plank in such a posi
tion that it projected into the shaft.
The elevator car in descending was
stopped by the plank and the steel
cable coiled up on top of the car. The
weight became so great that the plank
broke end the car plunged to the
basement. It is believed that Harris,
while trying to get out, was crushed
between the side of the car and the

Washington. Nov. 23. The formal
anr. en:: cor;. r.t t!:r.t T crMs Coaa'os, ol
Louisville, Ky.. hp? beri appointed
minister to Guatemala and Honduras,
is regarded as significant. It was in
tended that Mr. Combs should relieve
Minister Hunter about Jan. 1, but it
s believed that Mr. Combs has now
been ordered to leave at the earliest
possible moment.
The chief reason for this change
of plans is thought to be the state
department's deeire to secure a full
and' satisfactory account of the shooi
ng of William H. Fitzgerald in Guate
mala City last Friday by W. Godfrey
Hunter, Jr., the son of the minister,
whom Mr. Combs relieves.
Nothing has been heard from the
Guatemalan government about .the
killing. As nothing can be done by
this government toward prosecuting
Hunter, it appears that unles1? the
rTnjvfa.mn.lan government chooses to
act, young Hunter will escape pun
ishment altogether.
