WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON, - - - INDIANA. IS REVERSED IN PART JENKINS’ FAMOUS INJUNCTION WILL NOT STAND. Havcmeyer and Others Indicted—Three Tcrish in a Fire—Fatal Storm at Wichita —Poisoned Organist and S xton—Christian Endeavor Convention Postponed. Jenkins Is Overruled. Judge Jenkins’ famous strike injunction was overruled Monday by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago, and the cause was remanded with directions to strike out from the restraining order of tho court tho clause which arou ea the ' country when the order was issued and ■ which resulted in the Boatner investigating committee of Congress. The Court of Appeals decided that no court could compel a man or a body of men from quitting individually or in a body the service of an employer. The court said Judge Jenkins had exceeded his powers when he en- | joined tho employes of the receivers i f the No them 1 acific Kailroad Com-f pany from quitting tho . ervico of said ■ receivers, with er without notice, so | as to cripple tho property or j prevent or hinder the operation ' of said lailroad. ” It, however. | held that the section should stand | in which the men were prohibited ‘from combining and conspiring to quit, with or without notice, the serv- ! ice of said receivers, with the object I and intent of crippling the property j in t leir custody, or embarrassing i the operation of said railroad.” Tho j decision was considered by the law- j yers who packed the court-room I as one of the m st important opinions i delivered in the United States in ! a decade. It defines the status before j the law of labor organizations in : ■ neir conductor strikes, and ad rms the p jwers of cou ts of equity to interfere | by injunction when there is reason to believe that the law will be violated. ) It holds that men may withdraw in a 1 body from the service ofvm employer, using, however, neither force, threats, i persecution nor intimidation toward ! employes who do not Join them, nor i must they use any “device" to molest, j hinder, alarm or interfere with others ; who desire to take their places.

The serenity of the annual confer- ! ence at Shelbyville, Ind., war dis- \ turled by the arrest of the Eev. Au- 1 gustus Reibott pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Thomas B.

Tho crew of the Ohio, excepting tho first mate, sixteen in number, got into tho life boats aft -r much difficulty, and wore picked up by the schooner Moonlight, also in the tow of the Kershaw. Tho first mate of the Ohio was picked up by the Kershaw after clinging to n la Ider for two hours. Tho steamer Hobard picked up two of tho crow of the Ironton. Os the remainder of the crew seven in number, five are lost’ as none of them wore picked up by the Kershaw, Tho wind was blowing a gale from tho south and a heavy sea was running. Just before the collision the Ironton parted her tow lino, and it is thought that this accident threw her out of her course and caused the collision. The Ohio wai loaded with flour and feed, from Duluth to Ogdensbirg. The Ironton was light, from Cleveland to Mar-1 quette. _ | SOUTHERN. | Robbers entered tho office of Countjf Treasurer Scott at Sherman, TexaM knocked him senseless and rilled safe of $5,0 0.

Till-: Department of Agriculture is watching with great interest for the results of rxperiments in Germany with Indian corn in tho making of b»>er. It is said that over half as much corn as barley is used in thl- country by brewers A gro it brewing school at I erlin is now making exj>erimenU with Indian corn, and tho official rep rt of the authorities upon them is looked f< r with inter, -t. The rep Tts : from the de; artment s agent indicate i that the experiment- are proving sue- ’ eessful ami that the beer from the ■ maize is well liked by thoGcrmais. j The Germ,in laws are stringent ai*out regulating brewing, uni require the । use of barley, so that it was ' necessary to got a special permit for tho me i f* corn, even at this brewing school, which is an institution to which ■ are sent the sons of wealthy brewers I who are t? succeed to that business in I all parts of ( eimany, beviral brews I with Indian corn have already been ■ i made there.

Practically only three clubg tvere in the fight at the end. The New Yorks made a desperate finish and easily beat out the ex- ; J champion Bostons for second place. The ' : giants stood a show of capturing the ■ coveted bunting, but the phenomenal play of the Baltimores and their long uninterrupted series of victories on the home stretch gave the orioles a lead which was invincible. Hanlon s I men broke all League records by winning eighteen consecutive games, virtually settling the race. l ive Dio In a Wreck.

HILL IS THEIR MAN. Nominated for Governor by the New York Democratic Convention. W. C. Whitney declined the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York and Senator David B. Hill was chosen to head the

ticket. Mr. Whitney was t o have been named by acclamation. His refusal to run left the delegates in an exceedingly unpleasant position. Senator Hill did not desire the nomination, and ^xvhile facing the con--8 vent ion from the 8t h e platform de - c'.ared that be would

D. H. HI LU

not accept it. A scene without parallel in the history of conventions,except, perhaps, that in 1876, when Seymour v as nominated by acclamation against the wishes of the majority of the delegates, took place when the name of David B. Hill caused astami ei}e in his favor. Fifteen hundred people stood upon their feet yelling themselves hoarse, two bands of music tried to drown the tumult, and Senator 1 Javid B. Hill, the chairman, pounded violently but ineffectually with his gavel in attempt to restore order. It was a scene of disorder, but e\en of en-thusia-m that would probably not be witnessed in a decade. Mr. Hitt had finished his speech , sobrr YSoyU TV auhor and I been received with enthusiasm. Delegates had looked at one another and expected that the nomination would be made by aeclamat on. Even Senator Hill himself, with the gavel in hand, had ordered the roll called and breathed a sigh of reiier. evidently believing the crisis had passed. But a slight-built man from Alleghany County, who had never been known in the councils of the party, threw a firebrand which caused a sensation almost beyond belief. When the county was leached Delegate Reynolds arose, and, amid intense silence said: "The united delegation fiom Alleghany County desire to plate in nomination for Governor their first and only choice, David Bennett Hill.” Then occurred one of the wildest scenes that could ba imagined. Delegates jumped upon the chairs, spectators crowded into the aisle, hats were thrown heavenward, canes with ribbons waved wildly and men yelled themselves hearse. The secretaries left t-Wir desks and jumping upon chairs also cheered with the multitude.
