A BAGGAGE CAR oN FIRE—Yesterday morning an accident of a singular nature oceu on the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road. The through train leaving Richmond at *:12 p. m. for Boston and this city left the depot bere shortly after its arrival. at 1:40 a. m., ineharge o 2p. Wiison Muller, _con- ductor: John Onslaugh, engincer, and Peter Doyle, In the baggage car (No. 6, of the B. and P. road) there were a few sample bales of cotton, and three safes two “P. P.” trunks (containing small valuable pac! ) and a large amoant of other express matter, in charge * @ messen- ger of Adams Express Co., and_tuirty-one ieces of bagzage jn charge of Mr. Doyle. ne mail matter, seven pouches of letters nd several baes of third-class matter were also in the car. When nearing Patuxent station, nearly twenty-two miles north of ‘Washington, running at thirty miles per bour, all of a sudden fire flashed up from the cotton bales. and in a few seconds, owing to the train was running, the entire car was in flames. As soon as the fire was discovered measures were taken to save the eontents, and the burning car was hastily cat Joose from the train and run on to theswiteh, on that division of the road were present, and aasisted Capt. Miller and his men in saving what they could, and altogether there were m the burning car twenty-one pigees of baggage, the three safes and two «P. P.” trunks of Adams Express Co. When the fire was first discovered many of the pas- Sepgers were asicep, but most of promptly turned out to render assistance. The railroad authorities and Adams _ Company are to-day examinin maiter, and it may be some days before the loss, at least as far as the express com- b mss is concerned, is fully ascertained. The liability of the railroad is limited to $100 on each tieket, and as but ten pieces of ba: re were destroyed, the company’s loss, inclad- ing the car, may be put down at less than $5,000. It is said to-day that some of the trunks in charge of Adams Express Com- y were very valuable, one claimant a ing that her trank contained $15,000 worth ary. ‘he origin of the fire has not been fully as- €ertained, some ciaiming that a spark from the engine got into the cotton. and others that ‘the heat of the stove set fire to the bales. ee A Woman Buexep to DEAtH.—Satur- day afternoon, Mrs. Elizabeth Brady, resid- ing on Isth east, while intoxicated fell on a cooking stove and her dress taking fire she ‘Was burned to death before assistance could be rendered. She was alone at the time, and a ter working on a house near by Roticed smoke issuing from the windows open the deor and found the body lying on the floor dead with the head and Breast frightfully burned.

The addi- tional dollar per share each montitMonstitates the profits of association, whereby it shall be enabled to clese whenever the last share of stock not advanced on is cancelled. He al- leges that he received $2.400; had paid in some 1,440; and that the association claimed as due some $1,900,or more. He charges that this sum, ex some #1,200, is made = of fines ‘and forfeitures. The error into which he has fallen is, that he claims eredit for two. dollars per month on each share, instead of one dollar. The fines for default in the regu- lar payment of the monthly dues, claimed by the defendant and allowed by the auditor, are prescribed by the constitation of the so- ciety. They swell the common fand by which all stockholders are benefitted, more es- pecially those who haye received advances eir stock, for the reason that the Ta the revenues the earlier the association will close, and thereby those who have ob- tained such advances will be relieved from further payment of dues, whether they have repaid al) they received or not. The facet, therefore, is, in the practical operation of & buikling association, such as the defendant, each stockholder in effect pays to himself and receives from himself. There are no lenders or borrowers. It is a commercial venture or speculation, and may turn out good, bad, or indifferent for the individual stockholder, but is not obnoxious to any rule of law ——— ‘The stockholder who receives money in ad- vance upon his stock, according to the rate of discount or premitm he may bid with re- ference to the nominal value of such stock, retains ail his rights as a member of the so- clety, excepting, as a matter of course, the right to get the money in, the same as though he had not received it in advance. He shares, however, in common with his fellows in the benefits resulting from an early close of the association, ai it frequently oceurs hat he repays less than he receives. For ex- been one dol it 7 ™ ‘ i stat . and they ris there for a dance and only twenty “ Among them was Coleman. the ru $9 let =e one in but members, but only one of the members objec’ed: For defence.OMmicer Lynch testified heard the iadies scream that there was a fight. He went over, and saw half a dozen roughs holding on to @ficer Smith, and try- ing to preventhim from putting Coleman out. —— Hogan testified that theelub had adopted # rule that none but members should be present: He ¥ poy ordered Coleman to eave, but did not remember to have called on Smith to ejeet him. The court held that Coleman, having been admitied, had a right to be present so long as he behaved himself; and, it not appearing that he had misbe- haved, he was illegally molested; and fined Smith $20; appeal taken. ALL SORTS. Virginia Morris, larceny of a basket fall of provisions belonging to — Baumgarten; $10, or30days. Charles C. Hall, assault on Thos. E. Leidy; #1 and costs. Frank White, larcen; of a harness worth sit; six months in jail. Joseph Downey, petit lareeny of a fur trim- ming from in front of a store on 7th street; Steet; six months in jail.

Thomas Cronin, lafeeny of 15 street car tic kets, worth 5 cents each; $1@ and costs, or twenty days in jail. Thomas Brown, assault and battery on his wife Amelia, knocking her down with a chair and threatening to kill her; #10 and costs, or thirty da; in jail. Emily Henson, larceny of a dress worth 22. 10, or thirty days. Thomas Bond, col- ored, charged with obiaining divers sams of money from Luey Webster by false pre- tenses. Lucy testified that Bond sold hera piece of land for $300, for whieh she agreed to ger him in installments, with interest on leierred payments; contract produced, with receipts for sundry payments. She subse- ple: A stockholder purchasing an ad- vance at a moderate discount on 15 shares, would receive $1,500. If such purchase were made three years prior to the close of the as- sociation, he would pay but $1,080; if six years prior to the close, he would repay over 32,000. The complainant’s case assumes the existence of un unlawful contract, affected by the statutes — usury and the consei- ence of a court of uity. Neitherhas any- thing to do with it. ries are sui juris. and asthe contract is lawful, a court of equity has no jurisdiction to declare it otherwise. The court is not called upon to enforce “fines” or “penalties.” Application made by the bill is, to aid a delinquent stockholder in the non-performance of his lawful obliga- tions. In such a case, although “fines” are charged in the record, equity will, and ought to, refuse relief, and leave the parties to their remedy at law or otherwise. The appellants say ‘the decision of this court in Pabst vs. Blake et al.. (1st MacAr- Urur, 385.) is much relied on at the bar in sup- port of bills of this kind, and it is often ¢laimed that the ruling in that case is anthor- ity for the proposition that the contracts of building associations with their stockholders are unlawful. Such is undoubtedly the effect of the decision, but, in the light of the opinion upon which it is based, it would appear that the judgment of the court was erroneous. The decree of the special term disallowed the claim oftheassociation, upon the followinggrounds, stated in the exceptions to the report of the auditor. which exceptions were sustained by Une justices holding that term, viz: “The con- tract is vold, because its conditions are against law and violated the Jaw of usury. The contract contemplated. a loan, and was not an advanee of partnership fund. The fines should not have been ajlowe' The opinion of the Genera) Terry, (isi. Mac- Arthur, p. 400.) says: “We “\scover nothing. therefore, in the Natye of this association which is unlaw' " * @ * “Now, as we have see", there was no loan in the case, Much less any loan secured by either these deeds of trust.” * © ® “If they (certain debits) constitute the advance which were intended to be,and which in fact were, so secured, they ought to appear in the account so long As the property remains unsold,” and s e conclusion that complainant’ was itled to relief pon the very terms o court below, namely, that the shall be treated as loans and his payments as credits upon them.” They say it is not_very clear upon what principle the court held that there was *: ing unlawful in the nature of the association,” and that “there was no loan in the case,” and yet affirmed a decree which declared the contract ‘void, because its conditions were against law and vi law of usury,” and that “the com templated a loan was not an adva partnership fund.” The appellant, in sup- port of his positions, refers to the authori- Ues cited by defendants in case of Pabst vs. Blake et al, and to ten other cases, and they conclude: The foregoing are the ‘principal eases decided by the old Circuit Court and by the special terms of this court, involv: the validity of building association contracts In this District. and in each case contract Was sustained, with a disallowance of fines in several instances, where it was neecssary to let in the efaims of other creditors upon the corpus of the estate. In the r case the complainant obtained at various times $1,445, and he charged that he has repaid these advances. When the trus- tees threatened to sell the property in default of payment an injunction was prayed and a temporary r was made, and when the case came on toa hearing the bit! was dis- missed and an appeal taken. Messrs. Merrick and Perry appear for the complainants and Messrs. Elliott and Cassin for defendants. ——_2—_—. 1 THE WOMAN FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION met Saturday afternoon at the parlors of the Y.M.C.A., to take action for co-operation with the National Woman's Suffrage Asso- ciation In preparing a petition to Congress for a 16th amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibiting any state from disfranchising women. Mrs. Spencer pre- sided, and said that she had been assured by prominent temperance advocates and leaders of reform movements that all their efforts for temperance, purity and the general welfare of the people were constantly defeated by the ballot in the hands of corrupt, men, while women Were powerless to secure any reform or to protect any personal right. The appeal of the national association was read, asking that the women of the country make the same united effort for their own rights that they did for the slaves of the south, m they rolled up three hundred thousand names in behalf of a 13th amendment. All the ladies — the petition for a 16th amend- ment, and each took a copy to secure signa- tures, The chair appointed Mrs. E.c. Sargent, Mrs. Parnell r.
