All Creditors Given an Equal Chance in Business Assignments, 4 A Decision by Justice Cole of Import- ance to the Business Commu: The ty New Assignment Law. A case of much importance to the mer- chants of this District was decided this week by Justice Cole. It was the case of Dodge Brothers, et al., against Abraham I. Strasburger, et al., and involved the construction of the new assignment law, recently passed by Con- ress for the District of Columbia. This law abolished all preferences in as- signments in the District of Columbia. Abraham I. Strasburger, a retail dealer in shoes, being at the time indebted in the neighborhood of thirty thousand dollars, and having assets of less than twenty- five thousand dollars, confessed three Judy- ments, which amounted to over nine thou- sand dollars in all. On the same day that these judgments were confessed executions were issued and levies miade by the mar- shal, who took possession of all of the stock belonging to Strasburger, which wa: all of his visible property. ‘The stock was appraised by the marshal and the appraise- ment amounted to $11,000, and the marshal advertised it for sale to pay these three judgments. Under these circumstances the general creditors would have been left entirely unpaid. A number of these cred- itors, whose debts amounted to the sum of eighteen or nineteen thousand dollars, filed @ bill against Strasburger and the judg- ment. creditors, alleging that these Judg- ments were intended as preferences to those particular creditors, and the action iS Twas in violation of the act ngress appro zs le- claring vold ‘any preference to any cred\- tor in a voluntary assignment, and asking for an injunction and receiver. he complainants were represented by Mr. Henry Wise Garnett Mr. Chapin n, wn, ‘The defendants were nted by Mr. Leon Tobriner and Mr. Nordlinger, who filed their answers, and the case was ar- ued before Justice Cole some ten aay Justice “Cole delivered his opinion ‘uesday. as stated in The Star, sustaining the position of the complainants and grant ing the injunction and appointed receivers. je decision is regarded as of much im- portance, as it gives effect and force to the intention of Congress in abolishing assignments. Justice Cole’s Opinion. Justice Cole in his opinion cited the opin- fon delivered by Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court in the case of White agt. Cotzhausen, in which he con- strued a statute of Illinois, similar in pur- port to the act of Congress of February 4, 1898. Justicé Harlan said in this opinion: “The main object of this legislation is manifest. It is to secure equality of right among the creditors of a debtor who makes a volun- tary assignment of his property. It annuls every provision in any assignment giving a Dreference of one creditor over another’ After stating that it was not the inten- tion of the Supreme Court to contravene the general principle announced by the su- ie court of Illinois in Preston agt. Bpantaing and Field Geohegan that a debtor Ananclally * embarrassed’ or even when insolvent, may give to a’ particular creditor a mortgage or other security for a bona fide debt. if done in good faith, with the intention of remaining in and continu- business, Justice Harlan continues: “We only ‘mean by what has been said that when an insolvent debtor recognizes the fact that he can no longer go on in business and determines to yield the do- minion of his entire estate, and in execu- tion of that purpose, or with an intent to evade the statute, transfers all, or substan- tally all, his property to a part of his creditors,’ in crder to provide for them in preference to other creditors, the instru- ment or instruments by which such tzans- fers are made and that result 1s reached, whatever their form, will be held to op- erate as an assignment, the benefit of which may be claimed by’ any creditor not 80 preterred who will take ‘appropriate steps in a court of ‘equity to enforce. the equality contemplated by the statute. Such we think 1s the necessary result of the de- cisions in the highest court of the state.” ‘reated as a Gencral Assignment. if the decision in White agt. Cotahausen fs to govern the interpretation of the statute under consideration,” Justice Cole said, “it 1s too plain for argument that if the confessions of judgment were given by the defendant, Strasburger, when he was isolvent and ‘with the intent of going out of business, transferring all, or substan- tally all, of his assets to the creditors in whose favor these judgments are, with a View to giving them a preference over his other creditors in evasion of the second section of this statute, it should be treated yy @ court of equity, in a proper case, as an assigument for the benefit of creditors, and administered as such, and the prefe:- ences declared void. Whether that decision is binding and conclusive upon this court upon the question whether in that case the Supreme Court of the United States, upon the point involved, gave to the statute its own independent construc- tion or simply followed the construction theretofore made by the supreme court of Illinois, The counsel for the defendants claim that it is the latter, and that since that decision the supreme ‘court of Illinois has heid diftezently and announced that the Supreme Court of the United States did not correctly interpret their former de- cisions upon this statute. That it is a rule of decision in the Supreme Court of ‘the United States to follow the highest courts of the states in construing statutes where there has been a construction by the state court, although the Supreme Court upon its own judgment might take a different view, is so well known that no cases need be cited in support of it. It is also a rule of decision in that court that where there has been no construction of a state statue @ state court that the Supreme Court will give such statute its own construction. In the case of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company agt. Baugh, 149 U. 8., 5.2, Mr. Justice Brewe:, quoting from the opin: ion of Mr. Justice Bradley in Burgess agt. Seligman, 107 U. 8., 20, says: “But where the iaw has got thus been set- tled (viz, by the decision of the highest court of the state) it is the right and duty of the federal courts to exercise thelr own Judg- ment.” Construed Largely and Beneficially. In White agt. Cotzhausen did the Supreme Court adopt the construction of a statute as it had been “settled” by the supreme court of Illinois, or did it exercise its own judgment in the construction thereof? This Question is answered by a glance at the only two cases referred to in the opinion in White agt. Cotzhausen from the supreme court of Tilinols. ‘The first 1s Preston at. Spaulding, in which the only point deter. mined was @hat where there was a formal assignment all transfers executed prior thereto, and in contemplation thereof ‘with a View ‘to giving preferences, would be held to be part of the formal assignment and vold as preferences, ‘The other ts the case of Field agt. Geog- hegan, in which the only point decided was that a warrant to confess judgment given thirty days before an assignment, in good faith as a security, and without the in- tention of giving a preference, the debtor remaining and continuing in business, {3 not to be treated as a preference under the statute. In neither of ‘these cases was the question determined in White agt. Cotz- hausen considered, decided or even hinted at. The question ‘determined in the last- mentioned case was whether the court may treat as an assignment a conveyance or transfer, or a series of them, or con- fessed judgments, which are not in form an assignment, but are in substance and have that effect. The reasons assigned by Mr. Justice Harlan that this. may and should be done in a proper case are not taken from any decision of the supreme court of Illinois, with the single exception that he says: “We agreed with the supreme court of Illinois that this statute, being re- medial in its characte, must be liberally construed; that 1s, ‘construed largely and beneficially, so as to sur yress the mischief and advance the remedy.'" And his quo- tation in that instance is not from a case In which this statute was construed. It {s true that the opinion states that the su- preme court thinks its conclusion 1s the “necessary result of the decisions” of the Dlinois court, but that is its interpretation of the statute in the arguinentative light of the Illinois decisions, and not a following of such decisions. The Supreme Court of the United States went beyond and in ad- vance of the Illinois decisions. but kept within the light and reason of them as the Supreme Court thought. The reasoning by which this result was reached Is that of the Supreme Court of the United States, and not that of the Ilnols court, and w an interpretation of this statute’ upon the | tmportant point under consideration: | Construction of the Supreme Court. | After discussing other cases cited by the defendant, Justice Cole went on: “T have not lost sight of the principle laid fown in Moore vs. the Metropolitan Rafiroad Com- pany of the Supreme Court, that where Congress enacts a state statute it adopts the construction given to it by the courts | of the state from which it is taken, If the conclusion is correct that the Supreme Court had construed this statute before its enactment here, it must follow tha: So's. will be continued | Congress Intended to adopt that constr: Secs, YUU old.

S$. Sam-/of the authorities upon the subject ‘ty, BO. Adve, \tar as decided cases are concerned, a great | Fruit is said by high authority variety of opinions amongst state courts, with great unanimity of opinion of federal courts in favor of the rule as stated in ns ‘in conformity to the well-known rule here- tofore stated. That would leave this court to adopt the construction of this statute which {t should consider most consisteat with reason and justice, and to my mind, that stated by Mr. Justice Harlan ts noi only just, but rests upon reasons and urgu- ments which are incontrovertible. “It is contented by the attorneys for the defendants that a court of equity has 10 Jurisdiction in this case because the 2o:n- plainants have not reduced their demands to judgments at law; that general creditors can not attack an‘assignment for fraud without first exhausting their remely at law, which involves obtaining judsinent and return of execution nulla bona. But this is not a bill attacking and asking to avoid an assignment for fraud. It prays the court te declare and treat as an assign- ment for the benefit of creditors equally and generally, certain transfers by the debtor. In other words they allege that certain acts by the debtor have created 4 trust in favor of his creditors, and they ask the court to so declare and take charge of and administer the trust for their beneft. If the facts, under the proper construction of the statute, support the allegations of the bill, there is no trouble about equity Jurisdiction in this case, cs shown by th cases referred to by course! for complein ants in the Supreme Court, and in the court of appeals of Maryland. “It may also be stated that Judge Cox of this court recently held in ‘the case of Brown vs. McLean that this court has jur- isdiction in equity to engertain a bill by a simple contract creditof to avold preter- ences in an assignment ahd administer the trusts thereby created. I do not think that the question of jurisdiction in equity to de- clare vold for fraud an assignment neces- sarily arises in this case. and, therefore, have not considered it. This leaves for con: sideration the question whether the facts bring this case within the rule in White vs. Cotzhausen. ‘The Strasburger Case. ‘The facts, as they appear from the plead- ings and affidavits, are that the defendant, Strasburger, for some years prior to the 5th day of July, 1898, was @ retail dealer in boots and shoes in this city, having a store . 726 7th street, and after April 1, store also at 1208 F street. That on the 5th day of July, he was insolvent, owing not less, and probably considerably more, than $29,000; that his only visible and known assets were the stock of boots and shoes om sale in these two stores; that on the last mentioned date he voluntarily ap- peared in this court, on the law side thereof, and confessed three separate judgments in favor of the defendants, Steinem Bros., Goldstein and the Cohen Adler Shoe Com: pany, in the aggregate sum of $9,076.11; that ‘on the same day said judgments were confessed executions were ‘issued thereon, and, by virtue thereof, the defendant, Rans- dell, the marshal of the District, seized and levied upon all the property of ‘the defend- ant, Strasburger, in both stores and closed the’ stores and they have not been opened since, and the defendant, Strasburger, has instituted no proceeding to have them re- leased from such seizure; that the marshal's appraisers have valued the sald goods and property at $11,936; that that is about what the goods would realize at auction, if sold by the marshal; that the marshal adver- tised the property for sale on the 8th day of July, to take place on the 20th of that month.’ There Is no serious controversy about these facts. What {s the reasonable conclusion to be drawn from them? The defendant says that these creditors, in whose favor these judgments were con- fessed, were pressing him, and he confessed the judgments as a security for their debts, in good falth and without the intention of thereby turning over all his assets to them, and with the expectation of remaining in and continuing his business and paying off these judgments, and he believed that they would be satisfied with the confession of judgments without issuing execution. He does not say, however, that there was any agreement that they would not issue exe- cutions, and had there been and they had violated it so soon he would undoubted! have attempted to restrain them, or, at least, would have complained in some way. It is true that on the 17th of July, the day before the restraining order was issued in this case, he notified the marshal that he claimed he had made an excessive levy. He does not claim to have notified the plaintiffs in the executions that they were violating an agreement or confidence, even, by issuing execution. ‘The notice to the marshal came after ‘his stores had both been closed twelve days, long enough to haye ruined his business, even if the levies had been released after the notice. It is perfectly apparent, however, that the levies are not excessive, even if the cost value of the property is as great as contended by Btraaburger. Tf {t was understood, as Stray. urger says It was, that the judgments were confessed as a security. they’ could Rot operate as such without the issue and levy of execution. The defendant must be considered to be a man of at least ordinary Teason and judgment, and every man so endowed is held in law to intend the reas- orable and probable consequences of his acts, and no reasonable man, having ordi- nary knowledge of business,’ owing $29,000, with assets which might be ‘sold ‘for $23,000 in the ordinary course of business, confess- Ing judgments for $0,000, can be held to have expected or intended to remain in and conduct his business after that. He must be held to have intended exactly what fol- lowed in this case, the seizure of his entire assets for the benefit of the creditors in Whose favor he confessed judgments. Should the marshal be permitied to seli under these executions and pay the money over to the plaintiffs in them, the transac- tion would have precisely the same effect as if the debtor had made a formal as- signment for the benefit of creditors, pre- ferring the ones in whose favor the judg- ments are. It puts him out of business and gives these particular creditors all his as- sets to the excluston of others. If there be any difference between the effect of what he has done and that of a formal assign- ment with preferences, it is that in the form he has edopted he has reserved to himself any surplus after paying the pre- ferred creditors, rather than giving It to the other creditors, and that could hardly be urged in favor of his act. As what he has done ts in effect, though not In form, an assignment for ‘the benefit of creditors with preferences, the court should so treat | it by taking charge of the assets and ad- | ministering them for the benefit of all cre ii- tors equaliy, declaring vold the attempted preferences.’ It follows that an injunction should be granted and receiver appointed as prayed.” A Heroic Remedy for bie. To the Editor of The Eveuing Star: ‘Two hundred years England was in the throes of a financial panic. Her broad Pleces bad been reduced by clipping until thelr depreciation was frightful. Charles Montague, chancellor of the exchequer, proposed a heroic remedy, which was adopt- ed. Furnaces glowed on Tower Hill and the depreciated money was converted into broad pleces of full weight and returned by tale to the owners, the government bearing the loss of the difference, Today we are suffering from the same depreciation, though by a different cause. Apply the same remedy. That we need an enlarged currency is conceded. To get this there must be coinage of some other metal than gold. Silver is the only other metal which it is practicable to use. But as there can be only one standard of value, or only one equivalent as a medium of exchange, it is not feasible to have two metals as media of exchange unless a parity exist | between them. An intrinsic or natural parity between any two substances does not and cannot exist, therefore to have two | media of exchange an artificial parity must be created, and this can be done only by instituting’ a silding scale whereby as one metal varies in value leech nected of a given aliquot part in stated value shali vary inversely as the change In value. And the loss should be borne by the general public, that is by the government. Let the government ascertain and state by la the present ratio between silver and geld, call in all the outstanding silver and Tecoin it with that in the treasury upon the new ratio. Then provide that when the ascertained ratio shall vary 5 per cent the future sliver coinage shall Ke} changed to meet this change in ratio afld that all outstanding silver may be re- coined at government expense. Such a course would cause a loss to the general government, it is true, but such a loss is not comparable to the loss that otherwise has and ts accruing to the people of this country. And it would be a loss which would not be felt, and in the future, as from time to time the ratio was varied, the loss would be scarcely appreciable. Should such a course be pursued con- fidence would be restored at once. As soon as it was known that the depreciated silver dollar would be redeemed by the govern- ment for a full value dollar one would ‘be worth as much in the market as the other. Creditors would take stlver as readily as gold. Only through the banks would it be sent to the treasury for redemption. Herote is the remedy recommended, but the times need heroic treatment. W.

Gett: Money Fi People Who Wanted Their Pictures Published. The arrest in Philadelphia yesterday, an- nounced in The Star, of Whitman Dunbar, alias W. Nickerson, brings to a close for the present at least of a somewhat Interest- ing career. Dunbar is accused of using the mails to promote a fraudulent scheme. The arrest was made on a ben warrant: from this city, where, it is allexed. he made his headquarters while working several schemes. These schemes bore « family re- semblance. The general plan was to sené circutar letters to persons in different parts of the country asking for biographical sketches and photographs of themselv be" Dublished "In a” forthcomiag’ volume, ‘There were s0 many people not unwilling to have their biographies and Jikenesses thus preserved for postericy that Dunbar found no lack of victims. ‘Owing to the adroit manner in which he worded his circulars, it is caid, it has been & matter of extreme difficulty to secure his indictment, and it is believed that he fas realized something Uke $0.) [rom his scheme. The postal officiais assert that Dunbar is about the slickest iadiviuual Whom they have had to run down for 4 long time, and the history of his method of Working is an interesting The Charges Against Him. According to the charges against hira Dunbar commenced his operations in Oc- tober, 1889, by sending through the mails letters and notices that he was about to begin the publication of an alaborate work to be called “The United states Lost Oifice Department, Illustrated,” which would con- tain a large number of tine copper plate portrai ‘The cost of the work was to be he aiso sent circulars through the mails to members of the Masoaic order and the Knights Templar that as get- ting out a Masonie work, which would havi @ department devoted co the ‘Templar con- clave held in the elty of Washington. This publication was to be entitled the “Knights Templar of America.’ It was represented that the work was to cost the publishers $30,000; would contain 2,000 copper plate en- gravings, and the names of 3,20) Knights Templar. In each letter Dunbar sent through the mails there was what purport- ed to be a sample page of the proposed work, references were given and the namcs of 12 Knights Templar were added, with the statement that their portraits ‘would go in the work. But neither publication ever materialized, though each subscriber cheerfully contributed his $20 for the privi- fexe of having his portrait appear in the Dunbar, at his hearing before United States Commissioner Craig in Philadelpiia yesterday, did not appear in the least dis- turbed, frankly admitting that he was the one named in the indictment. He refused to make any effort to get bail, declaring it Was not a case which justi‘iad the requiring of bail. He was then held in $20) bail for his appearance before Judge Hutler, when it is likely he will be removed to this city. His Career in Thi Dunbar established himself in this city in @ handsome suite of offices in the Ni tonal Safe Deposit building, corner of 15th street and New York avenue. One of his first enterprises was .o send circulars to Dersons attending President Harrison's in- augural ball inviting them to send their photographs, to be usei in illustrating a souvenir volume, and 916.75 to pay the cost of the necessary copper plate engraving, which was to be retirned to the person written to after the completion of the work. ‘Then he started a scheme to get money from the Knights Templar, the proposed volume to be an illustrated souvenir of the triennial conclave held here in 4839. Noxt it appears that he undertook a much more gigantic scheme, the wor< to be known as “America Ilustrated,” and it is asserted that many distinguished public men sont to him the $16.75 to pay for a copper plate worth about $2.50. Then he moved to Phila- delphia, where he opened an office and con- tinued his business. —__—-—_—_ ANACOSTIA, Postal matters are still.

The building, a two-story brick structure, was stored with hay, straw and other material, and owing to the inflammable nature of the stock the flames made good headway before the arrival of the fire department, but when No. 6 engine company got a stream of water on the bullding the fire was soon brought under control. On the lower floor there was such stock as oats, corn and malt feed, while the hay and ‘straw were stored on the second floor. The stock was entirely destroyed and the building was badly damaged. It is thought that the loss will amount to about $2,000, which is covered by Insurance. This is the third time that. fire visited this comer. After the second the frame shanty was replaced with a brick building, but even this did hot pre- vent a fire, the origin of which {s'unknown. oo = WII Go Out of Business. Peter Page, a colored man, who keeps a small store in Southeast ‘Washington, was tried in the Police Court yesterday afternoon, on a charge of being an unli- censed produce dealer. In addition to keep- ing the store, Page figured about the market, taking left over produce from country people, and then selling it the same as though he had grown it. Judge Taylor held that the man was itable and im- posed a fine of $25. Page promised to go out of the business and the court suspend- ed sentence, jet thelr ‘fifth —_——__ John B.

Mrs. Hattie Hayes, through Mr. Campbell Carrington, yesterday filed a bill for a di- vorce from Thomas Hayes. The dill states that they were married June 15, 1887, and charges that soon after he began to. ill treat her because she refused to give him er wages, specifying that he beat her at 410 Corcoran street and 923 V street north- west. She states that on December 28, 1891, he took her little son and left home. She asks the custody of the child. A “Topping Off? Celebratio Yesterday afternoon the workmen on F. Freund’s new bullding, $15 10th street, fin- ished the “topping off,” and the event was celebrated with an ‘elaborate luncheon served to the two-score workmen. In addi- tion to the keg that is customary on such occasions, there was a spread of many of the substantials and delicacies of the sea- son, to which the hungry men did full jus- tice. —— Strack by = Piece of Ice. About 7 o'clock yesterday a sad accident occurred on E and 23d streets northwest. Albert Hendricks, a boy of six years, was riding behind an ice wagon, driven by Thomas Gee, when a heavy ‘piece of ice fell off. knocking him off and breaking both legs. The driver was in no way to blame. The boy was taken to Emergency Hos- ital . — Real Estate Matters. F. J. Acker has bought for $6,000 of M. Ashford et al., subs 38 and 39, sq. 1014; and J. D.

The afternoon drill was omitted yester- day in order to allow the men to leave camp who desired to go sailing, and, with the exception of the sentinels and one or two others, the camp was entirely deserted. About 8 o'clock, it being high tide, many of the boys returned and went in bathing. It now a common occurrence to make en- gagements with the young ladies as to when to go in bathing,and,of course, it is far more Pleasant and enjoyable on this account. Maj. Campbell, Dr. Gallagher and Sergt. Sabin went on an all-day fishing trip, and returned in the early evening with quite a number of blue fish, which were served up for supper and hugely enjoyed by all. The members of the company would like these gentlemen to take another fishing trip be- fore we leave Sea Isle City. After supper the company was formed in full dress and another local photograph- er took two photographs of the company in group, after which the company was formed into two platoons preparatory to forming for dress parade. This ceremony Was executed with much greater precision than Monday night in view of the fact that the men were more familiar with the movements and had an idea of what wi expected of them. Dress parade was fo! lowed by a short company drill, and im- mediately that was over retreat was sound- Private Jones is on the war path for the man who spiked the brass cannon and prevented him from firing the revellle and retreat guns. He hopes, however, to have it all straight by tomorrow. Yesterday jorning there was a rumor afloat that the local band would be up to serenade the camp and Capt. Williams Would allow no one to leave camp until 8:30 o'clock, when it was definitely ascer- tained that the band would not be there. Of course the men immediately scattered for the board walk to find their fair ac- Quaintances. There was another hop at the Excursion House, where, in fact, there is a hop every evening, and many of the boys were there, while others could be found at the “flying horses,” the popu- lar meeting place. The camp was unusu- ally quiet after taps, the men having pass- es coming in early and retiring without any trouble. Private Copeland attempted to run the guard, and succeeded in getting into his ent without being seen. The sergeant knew he was out without a pass, but only Giscovered him in his tent immediately ‘after he fired a blank cartridge into the company street. As the next relief was short one man, Private Wiler being ill with cramps, Copeland was put on extra duty m 2 to 4a. m. evellle was promptly sounded and the men responded quickly, and was followed by fatigue call, in order to give the men time to clean up the tents before break- fast, which {i 7 o'clock. Today being Lieut. Jacobson’s birthday anniversary the camp ia on a holiday, many of the men having taken the run over to Atlantic City, under orders to return in time for dress le. Consequently the camp is very quiet, a few of the boys staying in to treat sunburn, which appears now to be the most serious ailment in camp. Private Wiler was quite sick last evening with cramps, but now much better, and wil! doubtless soon ll right. The other boys appear to be extremely well, although there Is quite a difficulty tn obtaining good water for the camp, and this seems to be the principal ¢gause of complaint. However, many of the boys won't drink the water at all, but fall back on milk. tea and coffee principally, and occasionally watermelon. Dinner ts at 12 o'clock, and the first call has just sounded, and those men in camp are now preparing to fall in for mess. How- ever, as many of the members of the com- pany are now away from camp, Messrs. Harris and Buckman may bly have a chance to make up. for it fs quite evident that the company has the best of the bar- gain so far. Lieut.

He might easily be mistaken for a European. He wears clothes made by a London tailor, speaks good English. The maharaja has visited America once before, having come tn 1887. He intends to visit many of the leading cities on this trip, and will go to Niagara Falls and possibly to the Mammoth Cave.

ALEXANDRIA, A Misfit of the City Council. ‘The mayor called for an assemblage of the city council last night, but no meeting was held. Presidents Marbury and Snowden were present with some members of the council, but there was no quorum in either board. The members gathered with others on the steps of the market building and dis- cussed recent democratic primaries for a while, but no quorum came, and at 8:30 p.m. the boards were adjourned under the rule. The members are averse to meeting during the recess, and it is thought that the necessary details of business may be tran- sacted without a formal meeting of the The Fertilizer Question. The disposition of the public waste, which is under the control of the contractor for night soil, is giving the municipal authori- ties some trouble. Formerly the waste was located on some market gardens near this city, but this place of deposit has recently been cut off. It has been found impossible to procure a location on private ground except at a very great cost, and it is now Proposed to locate the pits on the corpora- tion property by the river side, near the mouth of the old canal. Under the hill, away from dwellings and secluded from observation, it is proposed to make the pits and erect fences end sheds. Tais would be convenient for river scows, by which the fertilizer could be transferred by the river to farms in this neighborhood. Fire Wardens’ Election. ‘The board of fire wardens, Messrs. George R. Hill, J. M, Hill, George Harlow and Louis Brill, have reorganized and will here- after hold monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at the Hydraulion engine house at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The board has chosen Mr. George R. Hill president and Mr. Louis Brill secretary.

There will be a sufficient number of under- takers present to bury all the citizens of Alexandria in good style, and in a few days if need be; but no celebration of this kind will take ‘place, for the meeting will be held in one of the livest towns of the state, and it is understood that the funeral di- rectors are all live men. They will receive cordial welcome here. ‘The excursion of the conductors and motormen of the electric railroad at River- side Perk today Is the success of the seq- eon.
