'HE CHICAGO -DAILY TRI BUNE: SA DAY, OCTOBER 31, 1874—~TWELVE PAGES, LOCAL MISCELLANY. SCAMDION'S SUIT. Tho sxamination of Alfred W. SBansomo, in tho banksuptoy proceadings agalnst J. Y. Seam- mon, woa taken up yostordny morning bofore Reglstet Hibbard, Tho question was to ascor- taln whother thoamendment o the orlginal poti- tion, stating that the United Statos Mortgago ' Company constituted one-fourth in number and one-third in amount of all Mr. Bcammon's cred- {tors, and which amendmont was sworn to by Mr, Sansomo in good faith should stand. At 10 o'clock the Rogiater, Mr, Dexter on behalf of tho Mortgage Company, Judge Trumbull on bobalt of Mr. Heammon, Mr. Sansomo, snd 8 phonographor, nescmbled in the Unitod States Circuit Court room, whero Mr, Scammon soon sftor sppeared, and the inovitablo reporters. Prior to the commencomant of tho oxamina~ tion Mr. Doxter objected to the examiuntion for tho roason that, undor the Inw, whore n potition is fled on information and boliof stnting that tho potitioner constitutes one-fourth in mumbor and ono-third in amount, that the provisions of tho Jaw mako it mandatory upon tho allogod bank- rupt to filo hils list of conditions, and tbat any such procoeding before filing such list was con- trary to tho provisions of tho law, irrogular, and boyond tho authority of the Court, Mr. Sausomo was then oxamined hy Jndgo Trumbull, Tho witncsa safd that prior to October, 1872, he Dbad enter- tainod n snsplcion that Alr, Beammon wag ombarrassod whon My, Forsyth camo to him to offoct a lonn about which he scomod oxtremely anxious, and witness subsequiontly loarned that tho loan was for Scammon on his property. Ho lind made & number of inquiries about Mr. Seam- mon’s condition, aud had come to the conclusion that ho was insolvent, Ilo had hoard that an indofinitoamount of Seammon's unpald paper wan known of by brokers, In October, 1373, ho lnd rocoived a lottor from Mr. Scammon stating that hio conld not mect the scorutug iutercst, aud should bo for the firut time in thirty-oight yonrs oblized to nek an oxteusion, This “wns granted Ly the Company, but aftor & mouth or mora wit- neas called on him, sud in a talk over the matter iuformed Dbim tuat the Company did not dogtre to preas the mattar if ha would give addi- tional security for the accruing intorest. This Mr. Scamupion declined to do on tho ground that tho Mutual Seenrity Insurauco Company had rocovored o judgment againat him, and that any asuignment -of lus proporty wozld bo useloss, ‘Witness also learnod that Mr, Scammon was not paying interost on the large lonns, amounting to about £800,000, in his own nane or with some ono oles, o tho Counecticut Mutual Insurance CUompnny, and therefore concludod that ho wos uuquestionably in au embarrassed condition, Moreover, Mr. Scammon himself bnd stated gucli to bo tho fact, but thought ho would gob through. After tho filing of the palition, and boforo tho smendmont, tho ~witnoss stated that ho bad made further inquirics, but did not find auy whoso claims woie not securad by trust-doed, mortgagoe, or judgment. Judge Trumbuil then dircoted Mr. Snnsome's M%\e‘““on o publications in the dally journais by sking : * Do b&on road tho nowapapora? A.—Somotimes, Q.—Dud you over oo any printed atatoment of My, Scamon's affairs? A.—I possibly have. .—When7 A.—During tho tirst part of tis oar, ¥ Q.—Did you ever soo a pudlicationsolting forth in detail, to some extent, his affaira, published in Tagniwoss? A—Tossibly so—I think not unlikely—1 gonerally road Tt TRINUNE. Q.—Do yon remombor o publication purport~ ing to sot forth Mr, Scamumon’s affairs? A~ Porsibly ; there were several in Tnn TripuNs about that time; I fiunemly read thom, The witness sald he kad had a convorsation with M. Scammon about that time on the gen- eral subjoct of his affaira, Mr. Doxter then cross-oxamined Mr. Ssnsomo, nand olicited the information that ho had sworn to tho amendment under advice of counsol, aud also according Lo his own bolief that those crod- 1tors who wore sccured could not bo included in tho numbor of thoss who were to compriso the one-fourth in number and one-third in amount os required by law, and thorefore sup- posed that tho Mortgage Company was sotually one-fourth in nunber aud one-third in amount of the unsecured croditors, 1o had mado gen- eral inquirics, at fhe timo of tho filing_ of tho amended petition, among baukers aud business meon, but could Jearn of no iudobtednoss that was not gecured,. At the time tho mortgage was made on the Honore Building thore were no tenants, aud tho samoe wos tho cnse with tho building on the cornor of Michigah avonue and Randolph stract at the time tho incumbrance was mado upon it Mr, Sansome nlso produced certified copics of tho trust-deeds of Scammon to the Marine Company, dated April 6 and 8, convoying his property in trust for his uneecured creditors, or to secure certnin indebteducss of tho banik. Sinco thon he said tho bank had not appeared to tuko poesossion of the property under tho trust, end even scomed to bave abandoned it, an snles of parts of tho land had since beon made, or ad- vortised, nt auction. Tho Mortgage Company hal‘fd“l“"“"‘ donied thnt thoso trust-deeds wera valid, As will be collrcted from reading the nbstract of the testimony nbove, tho Coui- puny holds that its agont, Mr. Sansome, has not been guilty of perjury, since it aflirms’ that oll tho other, creditors wore eocured oitber by conveyauce ift truet, or by baving a judgment lien, and tbut it, not having olectod to necopt its rights undor tho judgment for $150,000 obtained Jast Muy, is, thoroforo, the oujy ungceurcd crod- itor ag far, ut loast, ng 18 known. This question, together with tho motion of tho respondent to strilkio tho amended patition from the files, and tho motion of tho Mortgage Company to compol Mr. Seammon to fllo o list of his croditors, will all come up this mornivg st 10 o'clock before Judge Blodgett. —— INSURANCE.

There is no longer any doubt that the Natfonal Boord comjanics are repenting in sackeloth and ashes their hasty oetion in withdrawing from this city. They aro moroly waiting to got a good excuse to como back without stultifying them- golves, and the appointment of Shaler would give them tho coveted chance. These companies, when thay firat withdrew from this city, thonght they wouid throw the entire city into confusion, destroy its credit, and thon dictato terme to their liearts' content. They expocted that overy company belonging_to the Bonrd would follow the advice of the Exocutive Commitico. But nothing of tho kind has happened, nnd all thoir expectations have come to naught. The city went on in the even tenor of it way as if noth- ing had happened, and continued to moke the improvements commenced and decided upou bo- foro the withdrawal of the companios, Our credit waa not shaken in tho leust ; and, last but not least, forty National Busrd companics re- {usad to comply with tha request of the Exeou- tivo Committeo, and aro still doing & vory remu- norativo buiness in the city.

To tha Rditor of T'he Chicago T'ribune : Bin: Is thera not somo likelihood of those of ws upon the South Side renchug the bottom of Michigan and Wabash avenuos iu our drives up- town? Is it notnshamo that wo bave not ons docont drive to tho busiucss portion of the oity ? Nor ig that all : the two avenues running tho en- tice length of tho South Sido must be traveled upon if wo oxpect to rench any place north of Sixtoonth streot. Now, the rough condition of theso avenuesis very good for making ropairs necessary, and promaturely making old vehicles, but is sndiy depleting upon the puckets of thoso who pay heayy taxesin addition, Is it auy comfort to drivo along such a muddy, rough aveuue os the once fino Michigan is to- dsy? Whois at fault? Porhups you ean in- form tho public, and bring relief to our weary horses, our sorely-tried patience, our tax-bur- dened but poorly-16compensea pocket-books. Ought not these avenues to bo put Into parsn- ble condition bofore tho bad wenther fastons upon us, and bofore it necossitnies a wholesalo contract and very heavy expenso, theroby lining soma oue pocket tinaly, awd being a poor job on account of the frust and bnd weather ?
