Irjunqtlon Granted AgaUtst the City of
Xew York.
New York. Oct. 20. Judce An
drews in the Supreme Court to-day
Handed down his decision in the in
junction obtained by the Electric Light
Companies againstthe city,in whiclThe
sustains the temporary injunctions,
with certain modifications, until the
cases can be tried. The United States
Illuminating Company's case is the one
in which the decision is rendered. The
decision says that the Company should
have a reasonable opportunity to put
its wires in a safe condition and, if it
does not do so, the same should be re
moved by the Commissioner of public
works as obstructions, or the matter
should be laid before the grand jury.
In the meantime, the court says, the
injunction heretofore granted, with
some modifications, of its general re
strictions should be continued until the
trial of the action. The opinion covers
sixty-five pages of written matter.

V""-Jr Ul mat part oi it
evui, nuw m u ier-
ment of excitement mnnin fuJ
isariui tragedies enacted within
boundaries of .the bounty Thursday
night of last week. There is quite a
degree f interest manifested to get ac
curate details of the double killing at
Green Shoals on the aboveniht. In
telligence from that section ismeagrc
but enough is knowu to satisfy the most
credulous that Green McCoy and Mil
ton Haley were riddled with bullets on
the night in question by an organized
force of sixty determined men. The
latest report received, and from a reli
able man, who was detained several
days,.is to the effect that McCoy and
Haley implicated other prominent par
ties in the Brum field tragedy, alleging
that they, McCoy and Haley, were hirt d
to kill little Al Brumfield, his wife and
Pars Brumfield, and that they received
$500, or were to when the job was com
pleted. The attempt on little Al and
his wife is well known, and that the
programme was not fully carried out
was because the Brumfields were too
hot on the tracks of the assassins. The
report further-says that the result of
these disclosures has . hmnoht : nw
open hostilities and that the entire dis
trict is arra3-ed, either on one side or
tne otner, and that they are congre
gated well armed and the narun ;a
most threatening.

Kansas City. Mo.. Oct. n a fire

amazing rapidity amid the inflam
mable, contents. The firemen of
Armour were auicklv On the scene ami
were soon followed by .the departments
irom mis city ana ixansas City, Kan.
Their combined efforts to extinguish
the blaze were of no avail and in half
an hour they gave up the fight and di
rected their efforts toward saving the
adioininer buildinsrs: in this th ev wern
successful. In three Quarters of an
hour after the fire was discovered the
last wall fell and soon afterwards the
entire building was in ruins and the
( contents wholly destroyed. .
The loss is $1 100.00 30,000 on the
building, $60,000 on machinery and
$20,000 on the contents. The whole was

Wn Uh,i 1 vuwHuvuau
- John G O Connor, a memler of the
famous Camp, No. 20, of Clan-na-Gael,
of which the defendants were members,
was next placed on the sUmd. He was
recording secretary of the camp wheji
Beggs was senior guardian.
After numerous details as to meet
ings and methods of transacting busi
ness, the witness testified that on Feb
ruary 8th lat, at a meeting of the
camp, Thomas P. O'Ci nnor asked if wo
had overheard the report of the trial
committee that tried what is known as
the triangk; Beggs said ho had
not. O'Connor said it was btrange
that our camp never got a report
when he heard it read in another Camp
in the city; that he heard a man read it
and would state tho name of tho Camp
and the man who read it if we jle
manded. Then somebody akcdwho
it was; I did not hear who he said read
it, but there was-some memter there
who did hear and I asked him what he
said, and I understood him to say Dr.
Cronin. The State's Attorney was evi
dently of the opinion that the witness
was an unwilling one and sought to
have him detail at greater length tho
proceedings of tho Camp at that time,
but without success.
After a long wrangle between the
lawyers the court admitted the record
of proceedings of Camp , No. 20 on Feb
ruary 6th. made by tho Avitncss at the
time, and he proceeded to read it, sub
ject to many interruptions in the way
of questions and objections. Generally
in referring to individual members of
the Camp numbers instead of names
were used and in one case in which it
was noted that certain numbers were
appointed a committee to investigate
qualifications of an applicant for mem
bership, the State's Attorney said ho
proposed to show that one of them was
the number borne by one of the prison
ers at the bar.
Coming down to the matter of
the Camp's action on the supposed
allegations against Cronin in connec
tion with the trial of the triangle in
Buffalo the witness read as follows:
"Moved and seconded that an impera
tive demand be made upon the execu
tive committee at once for immediate
information of the trial committee. It
was amended that the senior guardian
notify the district members of. the
report that is going around regarding
the report of tho trial committee fight
in one of the camps in this city. The
motion wascarried. . A motion was
made and seconded that a secret com
mittee of three be appointed by the
senior guardian to investigate the ru
mors afloat regarding the trial of the
ex-executive body. The motion was
carriea. me senior guardian men
tioned, the witness said, was John F.
Beggs.
