After that the witness went into the tire-insurance business and, on the first of February, 1836, after being Ives’ partner, changed his rela- tions and me confidential clerk, Mr. Parker asked about that time what he had seen or heard concerning Ives’ conception of the scheme. “I went into what we called the back office and looked over a supplement of a financial Paper —_* map of the 0, H.and D. road. I heard Mr. Ives remark to Mr, Stayner that it would be a very fine thing TO ORT CONTROL OF THE ROAD, and subsequently the witness stated that in June, 1887, he was called out west in response to a telegram from Ives, The next day the election took place and Woodruff was surprised and pleased by being appointed, not elected, secretary and treasurer. Ives told him that owing to the fact that under the name of E. . Woodruff he had been #0 long connected with him (Ives) henceforth he wanted him to sign his name E. Wilson Woodruff, On the same day, the 19th of June, Ives sent him over to the C., H. and D, offices.

Mr. Ives said: -Make them out in four hundred or five hundred shares |each.’ Stayner now said that was too much, and they were finally made out in lots of 100 shares each; altogether 4,000 shares of A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 6,000 WERE SIGNED. ‘This was June 21, 1886. Ives said, ‘Date them the 19th; that it would be better to do that, as they would uot look so fresh.’ The certificates were numbered 6507 to 6555, inclusive.” Q—Did you ever receive from Ives any cer- tificate for canceling these shares? A—Yes, in March, 1 Q—How many? A—2,300 shares, Q—In whose name wore the new certificates made out? A—In the names of Thomas Moore, a sten- ographer; Robert D. Smith, clerk: R. M.

The whale was discov- ered ting off the coast, and following the customs of the Indians a report of the fact was made to the medicine man, who called a harried council and allotted a number of picked men to the different canoes, The whale was succesfully harpooned, but at sun down it commenced to blow a northwester and the sea became so heavy that the canoes were obliged to disconnect and leave their vic- to tire himself out with the air floats secured to him. That night the wind increased in velocity and the sea ran mountains high, and on the following day only two of the canoes were dis- cernable.

The Strong Claims of the Fourth Circuit ee Appointment. Spproved 1789, under which the Supreme Court of the United States was organized, provided for six Justices of that high tribunal and divided the original states of the Union inte three judicial circuits, Gen, Washington, who as President of the United States was originally intrusted with the appointment of these justices, ap- Pointed two from each circuit, thereby indieat- ing his appreciation of the importance of giv- ing to each circuit and every section of the country an equal voice in the deliberations and decisions of the highest court known to the Constitution and laws of our country. In 1802, when, by further act of gee poet judicial num! was #0 circuit should be represented by = resident justice. And in 1837, when the justices and cir- Cuits were further increased to nine in num- ber, the same jement was observed This precedent, “catabliahed by Washington, was followed by all the Presidents from the or- ganization of the court down to the outbreak of our late civil war when, for obvious reasons, it was disregarded and set aside, In 1861, soon after the war commenced, Justice Campbell, then representing the fifth circuit, composed of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis- iana and Texas, tendered his resignation. The states of this circuit were then in open rebellion egainst the Union, and for that reason the va- cancy was filled from another circuit; but when the war was over and a gree yes vacancy occurred on the Supreme Bench it was filled from the fifth circuit, and that circuit is now represented by Justice Lamar of Geo The will | fourth circuit, composed of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro- lina was represented 4 Chief,Justice Taney up to the time of his death in 1864.
