Latest Phase of the Case. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—anyer Stein- iardt, who attends to much of the civil Jusiness of his firm, Howe & Hummel, wasn’t around his usual haunts in the state courts today, and his absence de- leloped the fact that he had gone to Al- Jany to make application to Attorney Senor-cl Hancock for a receiver for Koster is Bial, the concert hall proprietors. This 5001: the Messrs. Fromme, the lawyers for Koster &. Bial, by surprise, for they had nade all their preparations to fight the natter in the state courts in this city. Mr. Hummel had this paper served upon Koster 86 Bial at the concert hall in Thir- sy-fourth street: [‘0 John Koster and Albert Bial, Directors and Managers of Koster, Bial & 00.: Please take notice that an application will be )resented to the attorney general of the state )f New York, at his office, in the city of Al- tany, on the 4th day of October, 1894, at 12 i'clock noon of said day. that an action will be trought against you and the Koster.

This. provoked war to the knife, for it then became known fer the first time that Oscar Hammerstein, Koster & Bial’s only partner, had decided to keep his threat, DI DIO. ~HAMMERSTEIN. KESSLER. made when the celebrated row took place a couple of weeks ago, that he would wind up the business. This was all because he and Count Kessler had a verbal and fistic argument when Mr. Hammerstein hissed Mlle. di Dio, one of his cwn performers. A little company assembled on the jump at Koster& Bial’s as soon as all hands got wind of the Howa-Hummel-Hammer— stein bombshell. In the number were Mr. Hammerstein, Mg. Hammerstein’s brother-in-law, Mr. Roster and Mr. Bial. The two latter pleaded that Mr. Hum- merstein settle with them and not take the matter to the courts. They offered terms. Mr. Hammerstein was cbdurate. “No such terms for me,” he cried. “Why, these are the same offers you have been making~to me all along. I won’t take them.” Argument was useless. The discussion waxed heavier and hotter. Mr. Hammer- stein wouldn’t yield, but wanted better terms. It was after midnight when all bands gave it up. Mr. Hummel, who had been within call in order to settle things legally, wasn’t sent for. As a result, some of the little company that again today, but it wasn ’t at the con- cert hall. They saw each other on board the first train for Albany which pulled out of the Grand Central depot this morn- ing. In the parlor car were Mr. Hammer- stein sitting with Lawyer Steinhardt and Lawyer Fromme, all alone. They had an appointment to go before Attorney Gen- eral Hancock. Mr. Hammerstein’s Plans. The ground on which the application is based is that Koster 8: Bial is a domestic corporation, and no application for a re— ceiver can be made except in the name of the attorney general. If the permission is granted, then Howe 8.: Hummel will go before any of the state courts'in this city and apply for a receiver and an injunc- tion restraining Koster & Bial from con- ducting the business in the manner which Howe 8:. Hummel claim is detrimental to the business. “We have evidence, ” said Mr. Hummel today, “that Koster & Bial have failed to carry out in strict lines the terms of the articles of incorporation. They have re- fused, for one thing, permission to Mr. Hammerstein to examine the books or to have access to them. This in itself estab- lishes a series of derelictions suflicient to dissolve the business." Mr. Hummel declined to discuss further the charges against Koster & Bial, but he said that they would be interesting when aired in court. He was in momen- tary expectation of hearing from Mr. Steinhardt by'telephone, and will, if he gets the consent of the attorney general, ‘ make the formal application to the courts tomorrow. Koster & Bial joined forces with Ham- merstein about a year ago, they using their name and the Harlem manager giv- lng his new Manhattan Opera House in Thirty-fourth street.

BOSTON, Oct. 5,—Electric light wire: at the corner of Congress and Charming streets today killed C. E. Day of 24 Leon street, Roxbury, and caused fatal injuries to A. J. Munroe, at the Emergency hos pital. Both men were in the employ of the Boston Electric Light company. Day was at the top of the electric light pole in the act of trimming the arc light. He had taken out one of the carbons and was replacing it with a new one when he received the full force of the current. The shock was a severe one and rendered him almost unconscious. He was prevented from falling to the ground by the straps around his body that were fastened to the pole. When he recelwcd the shock, Day fell backward, and many persons in the vi- cinity were witnesses of the sight. When , the injured man first received the shock, ‘ he gave several heartrending cries which could be heard for a long distance. Those who heard the cries land were at- tracted to the man on the pole saw that he was still receiving the current, for his hands were seen to be burning, and even his clothing in the region of the stomach was smoldering. Some one, however, had presence oi mind enough to Send word to the head- quarters of the Boston Electric company, and within a few minutes a wagon be- longing to the company was seen to be coming down Congress street at a furious rate. The wagon contained a number of men, and two started up the pole. The first of these to go up the pole was A. J. Munroe, who tried to out the wires. As Munroe started to do so he also received a shock and fell back to the ground, strik- ing his head on thecurb, the base of his skull being fractured. The other man was. apparently dazed at the second accident and hardly knew what to do. He recovered in a minute, and with the aid of a teamster and a large rope finally took Dayfrom his horrible position. Day was taken to the hospital, but he Was found to be dead. .. In the meantime the ambulance of the hospital had been summoned by telephone, and on its arrival at the corner of Con- gross and Channlng streets the other in- jurud man was taken to the hospital. He died soon after. A Dosperado's Nervy Act. SEATTLE, Warn, Oct. 5.--A desperado walked into the Mug saloon and ordered the dozen men. mega; to throw u ,thelr . hands.

Loxnox, Oct. 5. -—A dispatch received here from Shanghai says that native ves- sels arriving at that place from Ningpc report that five Japanese warships are ly~ ing of? the Chusan islands, 50 miles from Ningpo. They add that the Japanese warships have no transports with them. The presence of the Japanese ships near Ningpo has caused a. scare at the last mentioned port, as the few Chinese war- ships on the coast are obsolete and almost worthless. . The Chusan islands are situ- ated 50 miles east northeast of Ningpo, off the east coast of China, province of Chehkiang, opposite the estuary of the Tsien-Tang-Kiang. Ningpo is a port, open to foreign trade, in the province of Chehkiang, on the Ningpo river. lts population is va- riously estimated at from 120,000 to 500,- 000. The city of Ningpo is six miles in circumference and is inclosed in walls 25 feet high. Ningpo has an active trade and exports wood and charcoal largely to Shanghai A dispatch to The Times from Shanghai today says that, according to Chinese re- ports, there was no pitched battle fought at Ping~Yang, Korea. The Chinese there, according to these stories, only numbered 12,000 men, and they were greatly out. numbered by the Japanese troops. The Chinese. general, Yeh, it is also said, was prostrated with dysentery and withdrew his whole force. General Wei, the Chinese say, did the same, leaving only General Tsa’s force of 2,300 men to fight against overwhelming odds until all were killed with the exception of 800, who were taken prisoners. Hnnkow Bounded or Troops. A dispatch from Hankow says that as a consequence of the urgent demands of the imperial authorities the province has been denuded of troops. ‘ Turbulent mobs have demonstrated at several points that the authorities are powerless to check them. Europeans are alarmed, and the British consul has advised that all women and children be sent to Shanghai, which is considered the safest place. This will be done as soon as possible. The viceroy fears that the mobs will break out in armed rebellion. He is having fortifica- tions thrown up at Wuchang, on the other side of the river, to be ready in case an attack on the city is attempted. The Times in an article on the war in the east says that the Japanese possess splendid marching powers. The slowness of their advance illustrates the difficulties of the route they are following. At the present rate, if all opposition vanishes. Mukden cannot be reached before Oct. 23 at the earliest. No Japanese naval movement to the mouth of the Yalu river, where a fleet might be required to protect the Japanese troops crossing the estuary. has yet been reported. It is thus clear that the Chinese have completely aban- doned Korea. The Japanese advance into Manchuria has not yet commenced. If, as stated, troops have been landed on the northeast coast, they are probably intended for police purposes to assist in the reor- ganization of Korea. No opposition on the route to Mukden is likely, but if assured of provisions and ammunition the Chinese might be expect- of Mukden the fighting power with which they have been credited. Shiuan- Kiang, where the Japanese fleet has been sighted, is an important strategic point and will be the most probable place of dis- embarkation if an immediate clash on Pe- king is intended. A landing to the south of the Pei-Ho river would involve many difficulties on account of the number of rivers that would have to be crossed. 0n the other hand, from Shiuan—Kiang a good route exists. Li Hung Chang Is Alert. Li Hung Chang has recognized the danger of a Japanese landing at the latter place and has sent 5,000 picked troops thither. A Japanese ur’vance from Shiuan-Kiang would cut the cost line of communication between hang and Mukden. A simultaneous movement on these two places would have a definite strategic relation. In view of the military and official dcmoralization in China these success, but the lateness of the season al- ters the aspect of affairs. The destination of the force that sailed from Hizoshima can not long remain unknown, even if it is Formosa. ~ In an interview Mr. Sinclair, cx-British ception of Li Hung Chang’s-force and the army of Manchuric. China’s force's are worthless, the profession of arms being held in contempt. The organisation is bad. Japan, in Mr. Sinclair's opinion, is bound to win, but defeat will not endanger the p91 China to look to Europe for the les- sons she needs. Antlforelgn Feeling at Peking. SHANGHAI, Oct. 5.—The married ofli- cials of the customs department at Peking are leaving that city with their families, owing to the unsettled state of aflairs and the recent assaults made upon foreigners: The general antiforeigi feeling. which causesfimuch uneasiness, continues at New- chwang and Hankow.
