measure specifies that the company desires
to operate passenger, mail, express, bag

The Erd bill also provides that the com
pany, like tho one behind tho other bill,
wishes to carry telegraph and telephone
wires for its own end public use. also wires
for other companies, the latter to be
charged such rates as may be agreed upon.
The city's wires are to be carried free of
charge.
A clause pertaining to pneumatic service
is almost identical with the one Incorpo
rated In the other bill, except that it speci
fies that the company shall "collect fees
commensurate with the service rendered
by it."

pany is to forfeit its franchise if the road

The moit interesting clause In the secon.l
bill Is the one relating to the length of the
franchise. The company wants the fran
chise to run for fifty jears, "the city to
have the right to purchase the road at the
end of the fifty years, the values to be
ascertained by two appraisers, one ap
pointed by the city and the other by the
company, and if they fail to agree a third
appraiser shall be appointed by them to act
as arbiter, provided that the sum to be
fixed by the apprairers shall not be less
than the actual total Investment from the
commencement of work of construction,
with 6 per cent per annum added. It is
further provided that in the event the city
shall exercise the crivllece of purchasing
the railway and other property, the amount
which shall be fixed or agreed upon sha'l
be paid to the owner of thp rnilw.iv teitiiin

Hostile Comment on the Reqnot.
Wall street comment on the Southern
Railway circular yesterday was generally
hostlle. tho majority of criticisms, how
ever, being directed rather against the
weakness of the reasoning set forth In the
document than against the motives for the
request that J. P. Morgan. Charles Lanier
and George F. Baker be continued in
power over the Southern Railway concerns.
Concerning the motives for the step, two
explanations were current. In one no other
purpose was attributed to the trustees than
that it is to insure the control of the prop
erty by the present interests until their
Elans shall be settled bejond any risk of
eing overturned.
In qu.irters connected with the recent
busing of Louisville control In open market,
this view was expressed:
"It looks as if the voting trustees knew
that they and their friends no longer owned
a majoritv of the beneficial interest In
Southern Railway and yet wanted to keep
control."
The circular in question was issued Thurs
day by the voting trustees, who are Mor
gan. Baker and Lanier. They recommended
an extension of the life of the voting tru6t
for five years and asked for an extension
on ihe ground that they needed protection
from the speculators, who are ready to
pounce upon unprotected stork and change
the control of a property in a day. The
voting trustees asked that they be kept in
power until the permanent Improvements on
the read are completed, nnd "until the com
pletion of pending negotiations in relation
to transportation interests In the Southern
States."

Houston, Tex.. Aug. 23. The report from
Port 'Arthur- that J. -"M. Guffey had dis
posed of his Interest in the Texas oil field
tb the Mellin interest of. Pittsburg has
been confirmed.
The Mellin faction was backing Guffey'a
operations and differences arose as to tha
conduct of affairs In Texas.
Charles Green, a real estate man. who Is
the acknowledged promoter of tho Broad
way and Laclede avenue elevated railroad
bill, has been identified with the promotion
of local transportation facilities for thirty
years, and his connection with St. Louis
street railroads ceased only three years ago
when the final consolidation of surface
roads was effected.
At various times he has been connected
with elevated railroad schemes. In regard
to the bill introduced at his request yester
day by Councilman Horton, when seen last
night at his home. No. 1711 Longfellow bou
levard, he admitted that he had evolved the
plan and was Interested in its success.
"Engineers have gone over the proposed
routes," said he, "and pronounced them
feasible. It 13 proposed to first construct
the line to Forest Park, tapping the World's
Fair site; then to build along Broadway,
though work would be Jn progress on both
lines at tho same time.
"Our plan has no connection with that
of Messrs. Erd and Dwyer, nor was there
any intention to get our bill before the
Council as soon as or before the other.
CAPITAL IS SECURED

"Our capital will be furnished from the

names at present, but can say tnat three
are New Yorker, and that the other is
from Philadelphia. One of them ranks
among the three or four richest men In
value of such a franchise.
The Park EIe-uted Railroad Company
was incorporated under that name in Jef
ferson City three weeks ago. The capitali
zation was then placed at a nominal figure
J2.000. Mr. Green states that this, if the
franchise is granted, will immediately be
increased to ES.OOO.OOO or $50,000,000 if the
latter figure seems required.

decided that too much risk was attached to
the purchase. It was provided In the old

rage at the sight of work starting in No.

Navigation Company, reckless despite the
uniforms and the guns of the soldiers, are
attacking nonunion men, trying to destroy
property, and this morning braved the
bayonets of the soldiers and attacked them
hand to hand, dragging Captain Helm of
Company K. Twelfth Regiment, off a car.
The soldiers had to fix bayonets to drive
them back.
To-night the excitement continues In such
measure that an outbreak is feared again
to-morrow.
So dangerous was the situation thl3 morn
ing and so daringly did the men attack tho
soldiers that the onlookers expected a vol
ley to be fired and at the advance of the
troops fled precipitately, breaking down the
doors of the opera-house to take shelter In
side from the expected fusillade.

the duty of the soldiers to escort the work

At Lansford it was necessary to escort
two nonunion men to their home near by.
As soon as the men stepped from, the cars
the crowd rushed forward.

crowd .forced a way through.
Upon their return to the car the strikers
pressed them closely. They gained the plat

Eager to act they sprang from the cars

Front Rank Left to Face Troops.
The shout of the order, the flash of tha
bayonets, tho rattle of tho accoutrements
and tho leap of the men Into line terrified
tho mob, and all except those in front with
one movement turned and fled, and In their
flight many dashed into tho opera-house
doorway, beat down tho doors and sprang
inside to hide under tho seats. Others
Jumped through tho windows.
The front rank of tha mob did not readily
give way before the soldiers, and for soma
moments there was a hand-to-hand strug

who still fought felt the bayonets. Six of
