In the loan crowd the stock was the main attrac- tion and 1 per cent at #100 for every 100 shares was bid for its use until to-morrow. Neither side expressed much confidence in the result, but the heavy buying was apparently on Villard orders, while the opposition depended on legal orders for their weapons. They followed up the injunction obtained on Monday by another, which Judge Barrett issued late last night, which restrains Villard and the Oregon Trans-continental company from dis- posing of Oregon Navigation stock for any pur- pose whatever.

He then entered the law Wy? office of the Hon. Jas. Thompson, late chief J. W. DOUGLASS. justice of Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the bar of Erie in 1851. The young man took a great interest in the polit- ical questions that were then beginning to make the air quiver with possibilities, espousing the republican cause, to which he has clung ever since. When the great cam- paign of 1860 was begun Mr. Donglass was in the front rank of the Erie republicans, and did eoman service in aid of the election of President incoln. He was rewarded for this good work by an appointment as collector of internal rev- enue for the nineteenth district of Pennsylva- nia, with headquarters at Erie, in 1861, when the internal revenue system was adopted. He held that position until 1869, when his zeal and energy were recognized and be was made first deputy commissioner of internal revenue. In 1871 he was appointed commis- sioner of the bureau, and served four years, retiring in May, 1875, to be- gin the practice of law in this city with Judge Williams, who waa Attorney-Gen- eral under President Grant. During his term at the head of the bureau Mr. Douglass insti- tuted an important reform, abolishing the offices of assessor and assistant assessor thronghout the country and their duties between the dividing various deputy collectors and an assessment division which he established in the office here, and which is still in operation, This change made a reduction in the annual expensesof col- lecting the revenue of about $1,500,000, and in the actual force employed of about 1,500 people. May, 1875, he has resided in this city, ed in the practice of law before the d ferent courts of the District, the executive de- Sa the Court of Claims. and the United ‘tates Supreme Court. He regards himself as a citizen of Washington exclusively, and is is deeply interested in every question affecting the welfare of the people of the District. Mr. Douglass is a near neighbor of Mr. Webb, his predecessor, whom he knows intimately, A SKETCH OF MR, HINE. Mr. Lemon G, Hine, who will succeed Mr. Wheatley as the democratic member of the board of Commissioners isa well-known lawyer of this city. He is now abont fifty-four years age, and is a native of Ohio, having been born near Toledo. He is a graduate of Oberlin col- lege, and stndied lawat Ann Arbor,Mich., where he commenced the practice of his profession. When the war broke out he left his practice, as also his young wife and child, and, enlisting in an Ohio regiment, served in the west until the close of hostilities, A few months after (in 1865) he came to this city and took up his residence in ith Washington. He form- ed a legal partnership with ex-Gov. Ford, of Ohio, and for a num- ber of years was the junior member of the firm of Ford & Hine, During this time hé be- became quite popular * in his section and was elected to the councils several terms. date for delegate to Congress from t! District during the days of the territorial government against Gen. Nor- ton P. Chipman, republican, by whom he was defeated! His legal practice bécame very large, and in 1875 and 1876 he led the entire bar in the number of cases on the docket. He about that time took Mr. Sidney T. Thomas into partnership, and the firm of Hine & Thomas was for many years one of the most successful in the legal profession here. Some four or five years ago he became interested in patents applicable to typesetting by ma- chinery, and in 1887 he retired from active ractice to take the position of president of the ‘ational Typographic association. Mr. Hine resides with his family, a wife and six children, on Lincoln avenue on the Glenwood road, just north of the city limits, and his affable man- ners and genial disposition have won for him the friendship of his neighbors generally as well as that of the residents of other localities. Mr. Hine, whois in New York, is expected here to-morrow. LEADERS OF THE REICHSTAG. Picturesque Groups of Statesmen—Bis- mark’s Great Adversary. L. G, HINE.
