a THE COURTS. A Railroad Company's Right of Eminent Domain. COMPLICATED DOG CASE. Reminiscence of the Tweed Regime. Another Some months since an spplication was made to Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, on behalf of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, for an order of condemnation for railroad purposes of a piece of property lying on the North River front and extending from Sixty-fifth to Seventy- second street. The matter was referred to Mr. E. L. Owen as referee to take testimony as to the necessity of this piece of property for the purposes of the com- pany’s chartered business. It was claimed on the part of the railroad company that the property peti- tioned for on its behalf had become necessary for the purpose of receiving and delivering freight, especially grain, for which purpose it was intended to construct grain elevators and a number of docks at which to load lighters. After the taking of a very farge amount of testimony the matter came np again before Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Special Term, yesterday, on # renewal of the motion for ¢éondemnation of the property on the testimony taken before the referee. Mr. John E. Burrill and Mr. Frank Loomis appeared in favor of the motion, while Messrs, Stephen P. Nash, Joseph H. Choate, John C. Shaw, Malcolm Campbell and J. W. Leveridge Bppeared to oppose it in the interest of various owners whose property it is sought to take. In the po ae Ng the argument Mr. Burrill contented him- velf with making the mere formal motion, mene it to his opponents to exhaust themselves in opposition arguments, to which he might at the close reply. Mr. Nash, in his argument, contended that the uses to which this property was intended to be put were not within the provisions and purposes of the company’s charter, and did not entitle it to Lacie Pees Ee a i ema! pT for the ose of acquiring it. company’s object, lant was to carry out contracts made outside of its legitimate business as s common car- rier. Such contracts were to the effect that a Mr. Conklin should have the use of the elevator and a ‘Mr. Starin, of the transportation company, the use of the dockage, pursuant to aa tndarsinading with the Produce Exchange tor the tem, storage of grain. By such understanding Starin’s lighters were to hold the grain afloat tor four days without charging there- for, and the same grain was to be stored in the ele- vators ten days, equally free of charge, while, in the meantime, transferable grain certificates would be Issued and put on the market; and thus this grain, while in storage, might change hands fitty times before being delivered to # purchaser willing to take it. Thus the purposes for which this land was sought was not within the legitimate scope of the railroad as a com- mon carrier, and the fact of the company having made contracts outside that of its corporate dutics As a common carrier does not entitle it to extend its ss of eminent domain. in acquiring property tor such use. Mr. Choate devoted himself principally to a review ‘of the testimony as showing that at present the com- pany had more land at the point in question than it actually needed; that the acquisition now sought for is intended to meet prospective necessities expected to arise somewhere ten or fifteen years hence, and that a prevailing motive with the company at this time was to acquire land while it was cheap. Mr. Burrill briefly replied on bebalf of the com- pany, claiming that the purposes for which the land ‘was sought were necessary incidentals to the business of the road; that an experiment with their present facilities during more than three years past showed them to be wholly inadequate, and that during the same period the company bad to sbandon # portion of its treightage for waut of the space to which it is entitled undez its charter. The Judge took the papers. HE VOS BIT OF A DOG. Since the decision in the case of Caleb Cushing Bgainst Fernando Wood's dog, # few -yeara since, in which it was declared that the latter must be silent during the studious hours of the statesman, or be re- amoyed by death or otherwise, the question of dog’s rights and the rights of citizens both tor and against dogs has been one of growing interest. Such a case, though slightly confused both in testimony and re- sults, has come before Judge McAdam and s jury in the Marine Court. Frederick Rochwedder makes aud repairs wagons up town, and John Hemmenus is an express man in the same locality. Both, also, are Ger- mans, acquaintances of some intimacy and mutual patrons in their business. “Von day,” said the good vrow of Hemmens, “mine man he comed home and dcold me he vos bit of # dog, Rochwedder’s dog. Isee dot blood he run down, und I give mine mag clean clothes so he can go by der doctor. I° would not kt him go ‘york, und I put salve on his yound. He vos two dree weeks he uno vork more.

I can’t remember so far avery day,” was the good vrow’s reply. ‘The story of the bitten husband was in accord with at of his wife, both concurring that the bite was located somewhere in the vicinity of the locality used iu the administration of ancient oaths. They were also corroborated by the testimony of John Keens and Badolph Evitts as to the vicious character of Roch- wedder’s dog, in addition to the fact that the dog was “tmally kept cha@ined and public notice hung up in the shop to beware of him. Said Keens, “Dot dog he vos very sharp, und I look ont he bite me not at all.” Counsel—Did you ever see the dog? Keens—No; it vos enough I hear bim. I aivays took out for myself. Said Evitts, “I knowed dot dog; he vos a very bad flog, und so I Keeps alvays avay from him.” Counsel—How close did you ever go to the dog? ts—I keep avay so far he could no schnap me. Che owner Of the dog was in conflict with the plain- iif and his wife, both as to the extent and location of Nhe all wound. The location, he asserted was flown below the knee, and, as the plaintiff had long poots on him, the wound ‘vos notings.” “Hem- mens,” added witness, “never did sey netings about At until [ did sue him for a coupleof dollars he did owe me, and den he did sued me.” Counsel—What did you say to Hemmens at the time the dog sna) at him? Rochwedder—Vell, I say to him dot he dake a hair from der dog or he shoot him, shut vich be like. Connsel—Why did you tell him to take » hair off the dog ? Rochwedder—Vell, I alvays bave hear dot everybody way 2 hair from der dog vot bite make everydings all Fight. ‘Gounsel—What became of this dog? PT acne tae Hudson Biver Railroad, he kill vn. Counsel—How did the railroad kill him? Roghwedder—Vell, L dake him mit me vonce to col- ba # leetle money und der railroad he ranned over m. Connsel—Ah! you took him along to help collect a Godt, did you? Roch wedder dake him along. Conneel—Yra: I have no doubt he would make a debtor fork over if such # thing was possible. ‘The witnesses on both sides having concluded throwing light on the circumstances of the cas, it _- Judge McAdam’s duty to throw light on the and this he did briefly as follows: —Kvery person, ‘be said, has the right to keep a dog or other domesti- fuee animal, and is not liable for any damage dono 7 Such animal, unless it occur through the negli- at of the owner, or unless the animal (if he log) be secustomed to bite mankind, or unless it of @ savage and ferocious nature and this vicious pro- ensity be known to the owner, After five hours’ earnest deliberation the jury had failed to come to accord on any verdict and ‘were dis- e by the Court, leaving it to some jury of the future to solve the dog problem. TWEED'S LEGAL EXPENSES. In the Superior Court, before Judge Speir, there was commenced yesterday the trial of a suit brought by Benjamin P. Fairchild against John D. Townsend. It seems, a8 alleged, that the plaintiff made an agree- ment in writing with William M. Tweed on the 12th of February, 1877, to get him out of jail for $10,000, $5,000 to be paid down and $5,000 contingent npon the success of his efforts. The plaintiff as charged gave the defendant an assignment of a bond and mort- gaze an collateral security for notes given and this is & suit in equity to set awide the contract on the ground that Townsend did not complete his agreement. by the agreement it wae understood that five of tue notes above referred to are payable only in case William M, weed shail not be convicted of erinie and seut to the fate Prison, but are payable in case he shill be dis- pharged on his own recoguizance from jail or ip any way released therefrom without punishment of im- prisonment. in case Tweed should be committed pon any of the indictments pending agninst him sud sent to State Privon, then it war Ayteed tht no noon as the first five notes shonld have been paid the land would be redeeded upon mortyage tw Falrcuild, provided the same should uot have beew foreeloned Or disposed ot before that time for non- ayment of any of the firat five notes mentioned. ir, Townsend was pot on the stand and testified that Jie Was retained by Ms. Tweed, and it was contended Vell (shrugging his #houlders), Ishust NEW YORK, HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1878.-TRIPLE SHEET. on his behalf by Mr. Weed that under the agreement Mr. Townsend was to defend Tweed against conviction aud punishment on criminal charges then pending .during his lifetime.

Albert Goetmann keeps a lager beer saloon in avenue A, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. On Monday night » man named James Shaw went into this saloon and called for lager beer. He offered in payment a trade dollar. Goetmann, on examining it, declared it to be counterfeit. Shaw then became abusive, dared him to refuse it and throwing back the lapel of his coat exhibited on his vest the shield of a United States deputy marshal and also a com- mission of appointment to a man named Kerrigan, signed apparently by United States Marshal Payne. Goetmann said he,did not care for the shield or the commission, and ne would not take the proffered dollar, A police officer was in; Shaw resisted arrest, but was ultimately overpowered. Ou the ae to the station house he threw away the shield, tore up the commission, and an endeavor was made by the Nineteenth street of ruffians to re- lease him. The officer used his club freely, and the risoner was conveyed to the station house, His in- juries were so severe that he was removed to Bellevue Hospital to have the wounds dressed. Yesterday morning Shaw was brought by Deputy Berenhardt before United States Commissioner Shields on the charge of issuing counterfeit money, and was admitted to bail in $500. The shield and the frag- ments of the commission had been picked up and were exhibited yesterday in court, Mr. Wagner, who appeared a defendant's counsel, said that the defend- ant was @ very respectable yo! man, who had un- fortunately taken too much drink and had got him- self into a collision with the police. The treatment of the officer, he said, was unjustifiable. afid a com- laint would be preferred to the Commissioners of Botioce. The examination will be continued to-day, THE CLEGG BANKRUPTCY CASE. On a motion made by Chauncey B, Ripley to compel Charles A. Clegg to follow up his bankruptcy petition by proceedings thereon, or else to have him enjoined by the Court from further interfering with his prop- erty, Judge Choate, in the United States District Court, rendered a decision yesterday granting the in- junction, and in do: so follows @ decision under the Bankrupt act of 1543, condemning the practice of bankrupts allowing their proceedings to sleep afier ‘a petition and then go on with their business and attempt to compromise with their creditors. Ac- companying this injunction, which is temporary, is an order directing the bankrupt to show cause why he should not have a receiver appointed and carry his proceedings SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. ‘Minnie Reilly and Florence Wilson were sentenced by Judge Gildersleevé yesterday to two years each in the Penitentiary on conviction of grand larceny. - In the suit of Thomus Cowan against the executor and executrix of Judge Dowling, already reported in the HERALD, a verdict was rendered yesterday in favor of the plaintiff for $7,410 33.

KINGS COUNTY GRAND JURY. ‘The Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Kings county, was sworn in yesterday for the No- vember term, Justice Gilbert called the attention of the jury to cases where public officials had been charged with obtaining extortionate fees. It would be their duty, should such evidence be brought before them, to find indictments against such offenders. They should also look sharply after the venders of obscene . If there were any cases of viols- tion of the Election law they should see to it that the offenders are brought to justice. Mr. H, K. Pierrepont is foreman of the Grand Jury. MULDOON’S MARE. Terence Muldoon, of No. 157 West Sixteenth street, tm October last advertised that he had for sale a bay mare, gentle and kind. Daniel Smith, a milk dealer, doing business at No. 511 West Fiftieth street, called to see the animal. The beast made a fair appearance and Muldoon praised her to the skies. “But I want « nag that will stand in the street with- out being tied,” suggested Mr. Smith. “You’ve come to the right shop,” replicd Mul- doon. Then Mr. Smith paid $65 to'Mr. Muldoon and wok the mare. Next morning he harnessed his new bargain tos milk wagon started ont. His first call was in Kast Tenth street, near avenue D, and, giving the reins a little jerk, Mr. Smith lea} out. The mare responded to the jerk with a plaintive neigh and Smith paused on the sidewalk to see what it meant. Just then the nag started off like an arrow in the direction of the river, and Mr. Smith followed. On reaching the pier at the foot of Tenth street he found his wagon smashed against one of the spiles, and in the gray dawn saw the mare gol down stream at a fearful rate. He h ua but the antmal ‘no attention and was seen no more. She carried with her a new harness belonging to Smith, and prceely intended to have tal the wagon along also. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Smith arraigned Muldoon in the Harlem Police charge OTENce a8 Bp pleaded to the main facts, but Judge Smith said to him, “Mul- doon, there is considerable of this sort of thing going on in the community, and I think we had better = astop to it. Find bail in $500 to answer at the eral Seseions.” Muldoon was committed in default. SMITHS LITTLE GAME. A thin and shrivelled man was brought into the Fiftyseventh Street Court yesterday by an officer and ushered into the prisoners’ box, where he shook a if in a fit. “Who have we here?’ asked the magistrate. “Smith,” anawered the thin and shrivelled man, “John Smith.” “You were drunk?” “No, sir; I'm ao stranger in this part of the coun- pill Here the man fell shivering while his teeth tled. “Well?” “God forgive me and protect all here; but I'm from New Orleans.” He was now shivering with all his might and look- ing fiercely at the people in the court room. “Have you then’ —— commenced the mi “Yous, sir, 1 have had the yellow fever, and I left the ¢ before I was entirelf well. Indeed, I feel as itl it now.” He accompanied these few remarks with violent contortions and hideous grimaces. “Smith,” said the Judge, “You have played a bold game, but as I sent you to the Island from Eesex Market Ky short time ago, and as New Orleans could not have been visited since, yellow fever or not, back to the Island you go.” The prisoner forgot to simulate any longer and vainly begged to be Jet off. ASSAULTED ON THE HIGHWAY. Late on the afternoon of the 6th inst. Mrs, Smith Foster, residing on Trindy avenue, Jamaica South, L. L, when returning from Woodhaven, with her two children, was met on the highway by Smith Cornell, whom she had known for many years. Cornell, a# Mrs. Foxter says, walked along with herself and the children until they came to 3 lonely part of the road near her residence, when he gaye tho children some money, telling them to go back to the store and buy some candy. They started, and were hardly out of sight when Cornell, as the lady stated, seized her by the throat, threw her to the ground and attempted to eriminally asewult her. Mr. Foster, hearing hia wife's cries, ran to her assistance, reaching her just in time, he says, to see Cornell running down the road. Mrs, Poster waa badly injured and her clothes almost all torn off, On Monday évening Cornell was arrested, aud yesterday, upon arraignment betore Judge Betts, at Jamaica, he was committed for examination until seh time ae Mrs, Foster can appear agaiust bim, she being atill confined to her bed, ‘Company vs. | THE VANDERBILT CONTEST. A full attendance marked the closing day for the contestants in the Vanderbilt will case. When court opened counsel for the contestants called to the stand Dr. 8, Skinner, a dentist. Judge Comstock objected to the witness being sworn on the ground that his name did not appear in the list handed to the Court by counsel on the other side, Mr. Scott Lord and ex- Judge Jere Black contended that the testimony to be given by the witness was newly discovered and neces- sary to contestant’s carp. The Court said that such facts, owing to the arrange- ments made between the Court and counsel, should appear in affidavits. If, on such papers, it 4 pears clear to the Court at any time during the ogee of the trial that the contestants had v- new evidence he would hear it. Such did not ow appear, and therefore the witness could not be sworn. Mr. Lord said that he wished to prove by Dr. Skin- ner tht in 1873 he attended Commodore Vanderbilt and found him almost imbecile; that he took occasion to ascertain if he was in liquor, and being satisfied that he was not was now prepared to swear that the Andications of mental intirmity then noticed were the result of # general decadence of his faculties. REFUSAL TO RECONSIDER. The Court held that the evidence was cumulative ‘and refused to reconsider the decision. An exception was noted for the contestants, ard when the Court said, ‘Call the next witness,”” Mr. Lord said, ‘‘Under the present state of facts the contestant rests her ae cage is with the proponents,” said the Surro- gate. A whispered conference between Mr. Clinton, Mr. Choate, Mr. Comstock and Mr. Vanderbilt ensued, and Mr, Clinton a few moments thereafter asked for a tponement of the case until this morning at if-past ten, in order that he might have time to consult with his colleagues. The roquest was granted. THE| LEWIS WILL CASE. ats The hearing in the Lewis will case was resumed yesterday at Jersey City before Master in Chancery 0. 8. See. The case for the alleged widow was reopened to allow counsel to prove the date of the printing of the marriage certificate offered by her. Her counsel, ex-Governor Bedle, offered in evidence a certificate of marriage between Joseph Brown and Catherine Lynch, at St. Ambrose’s church, in this city, on March’ 29, 1859. ‘The certificate was a fac simile of tho one offered in evidence by Mrs. Lewis, and which counsel for the government attempted to prove had not been printed until 1868. Rey. Dr. Gunn, pastor of St. Ambrose’s Church, was the only witness exam- ined, and he produced the church record, in which was found’an entry of the marriage by Rev. Dr. Sill, who was then pastor, of Joseph wn and Catho- rine Lynch, on the date above given. Ex-Attor- ney General Gilchrist, of counsel for the govern- ment, cross-examined the witness, but elicited noth- ing except that the handwriting in the record was that ‘of the late paugor, Rev. Dr. 51 MRS, DEVLIN’S. WILL. The attention of Surrogate Dailey, of Kings county ‘was again occupied yesterday in taking testimony in the matter of the will of the late Mrs. Mary Devlin, Margaret Davis, the colored servant, was recalled and testified that while she was in her employ Mrs. Dev- lin was full of eccentricities. At one time she be- lieved that the room was full of insects. Then she imagined that people were dancing on the roofs of the surrounding Houses. At aren Ba she said she could see crowds of little children crawling through the sewers. James Devlin testified also to his mother’s eocen- His brother John was always with her all her business. Witness on the cross-examination stated that he had heard that when he (witness) was in the Clinton State Prison, during the war, his brother John had paid $5,000 to secure his release. The case was adjourned till Thursday next. CONGRESSMAN SMITH'S WILL. Surrogate Coffin, of Westchester county, yesterday admitted to probate the will of the late Alexander Smith, carpet manufacturer, of Yonkers, and who was elected Representative in Congress from the Twelfth Congrpssional district, on Tuesday last, and died on the evening of that day. The real and per- sonal estate of the deceased is estimated at $500,000, consisting, however, principally of stock and scrip of the Alexander Smith & Son's Carpet Company, The will was excuted on the 20th day of September, 1877, by which his son, Warren B. Smith, and his son-in-law, William F. Cochran, are appointed executors, The testator bequeathed to his wife, Mary Lewin Smith, all’ his household furniture and works of art, a span of carriage horses and two carriages. He also directs that an annuity of $6,000 be paid to her in monthly ments out of a trust fund of $100,000 during her fics in lieu of e dower, and et her death the fund is to be divided ay, between heg son and son-in-law. The trust 1 fig bin Spee thin lac eg from $50,000 of s and the same amount of bag of the carpet company, which is to invested in United States government bonds. He also jueaths $10,000 in stock and scrip to his grandson, Smith during whose minority the income derived from the legacy is to be paid to the boy’s mother, and the principal also is to | revert to her if he dies before attaining the age of twenty-one years. The testator made a special be- buest of $10,000 to his son, Warren B. Smith; also cia nite peg se hncir oe taper Sayer im igen ‘The residue of the estate is to be di’ equally be- tween testator’s son Warren and his daughter, Eva 8. REOPENING AN OLD WILL. ‘Thomas and William Nolan, of Jersey City, through their counsel, Messrs. W. D. Daly and E. B. Cox, yes- terday began proceedings for the reopening of the proceedings in probate of the will of the late Thomas Ring, @ prominent merchant of Halifax, N. S., who died in 1862, ledving property of considerabie value. The contestants claim to be the only rightful heirs alive, their mother having been the testator’s only child. A few years previous to his decease Ring married a second time, and in his will he bequeathed his property to his second wife and her relatives and Catholic institutions and socicties in Nova Scotia, making John Tobin, of Halifax, © member of the Provincial Parliament, executor. The bequests are as follows:—To his wifo, Cath- Ring, all his furniture and plate, several houses and lote.in Water street and his entire business for her naturel life; bay care Soren gerrgencenpeem rl ve] Bridget Heunesscy, of & piece land, consisting of eleven acres, with the foray thereon, in Gotl street, near Fort Needam, Halifax, share and #) alike; to his nephews, James and Lawrence Ring, land in Musquodofoit, com; acres, purchased from Rev.

J. Norman Ritchie, GC. of Malifas, has also been retaiued in their behalf. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Coroner Flanagan took testimony yesterday in the cage of William Wallare Perkius, who died suddenly tthe Hoffman House, on Monday evening. Kdwin ¥. Akerley, clerk of the Hoffman House, deposed that on, the evening in question he found Mr. Perkins in bed in ® comatose condition, A physician was called in and tried to arouse him by the use of o jowerful galvanic battery, but without avail. He Brea at twenty minutes past nine P.M. An empty half ounce vial, marked Iaudanum, was standing on the mantel, and several other empty vials, Elizabeth Allen Perkins, wife of deceased, testified that she resides at Woodaburg, Long Island. She last saw her husband alive ou Weduesday, November 6. He had «pent the previous day with her and seemed in his usual spirits; but was troubled’ about bis finances, He wae in the habit of taking anodynes to roduce sleep; he had taken twenty drops of chloro- ‘orm on ee tees Dr. BT.

M. RUDE CONDUCTORS, To rue Eprron or Ta¥ Henatp:— On Saturday evening I bought a ticket et the Four- teenth street station of the New York Elevated Rail- road, intending to go up town. The first “through” train which came along was moderately full, but yet not nearly so crowded as have been many on which I have travelled. There were few passengers waiting ‘and there was no crush. I walked quietly on to the Fagerm of the least crowded car without a thought that I was doing anything wrong, when sud- denly a burly conductor confronted me, und, without a word of previous warning, pushed me roughly backward off the car, at the same time shout- ing in my ear, “No more allowed on here!’ Had I been requested to leave the car I should have done so, but although I had passed the gate and was almost inside the door the muscular conductor laid hands on me first and told me to leave only after he had ejected me. That servants of the company should be al- lowed to thus assault peacable, sober and respectable patrons of the road is outrageous, and the Hrraup will do a public service if it calls attention to the fact that such conduct is permitted.

I was charged lately, for instance, nine cents for the HERALD and seven cents each for the other New York papers at the stand kept by a forei r in a celebrated Cincinnati hotel. Going further West the papers at stands kept by Americans are uniformly five cents—a marvellously low price for papers coming 80 far, and I wonder there can be profit enough to warrant it. Still five cents is uniformly the price. In # restaur- ant kept by a foreigner in St. Louis a bottle of Cook’s American champagne, the pricef which was to be $3, was charged on our bill $4. There wae no wine list, aud we had only to take the waiter’s price, $3, which, when dinner was over, rose to $4. The same wine at the Lindell, we found afterward, was $2. Americans may have—nay, have—their faulta, but two prices and petty swindling in small dealings are not among them. M.

CLOSING UP THE CENTRAL SAVINGS BANK OF JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS—EEORGANIZING THE MECHANICS AND LABORERS’ BANK OF JERSEY cerry. The directors of the Central Savings Bank, corner of Bergen and Fairmount avenues, Jersey City Heights, yesterday notified their depositors that they had decided to discontinue business, and that all claims presented in due form would be paid. The institution was opened in 1871, and during its seven years’ continuance it was conducted on # very economical basis. The business of the bank was never very heavy, and the trustees and officers alternated in doing the clerical work, keeping the bank open every evening except Sundays. There were no salaried officers or employés and the only expenses, over the $120 per annum for rent, were for fuel, stationery and gas. After the enactment of the Six Per Cent law business ceased to be profitable and the liabilities were gradually reduced. The lia bilitics are at it $10,000 the institution will ‘de closed without loss to any one. The officers ave:—Henry Dusenbury, p it; Orrin Ward, vice president; Henry Fitch, secretary and treasurer. BANK REORGANIZATION. The directors of the Mechanica and Luborers’ Savings Bank, corner of Grove and Second streets, Jersey City, held their regular semi-annual session on Monday ‘night and took such action as they be- lieved would end the troubles and dangers of sus- pension which for the past few weeks have t the in- stitution, One of the directors explained yesterday tho cause of the bank’s troubles by stating that yut two years ago the secretary of bank, Mr. Donelan, called the attention of the directors to the fact that the assets were rapidly disappeuring, The Executive Committee took no action in the matter until a yoar ago, when the cominittee was changed. It was thon so the director stated, that John Halliard, the president of the institution, had bor- rowed about $60,000 of the assets and given aa secur- ity amumber of promissory notes which were not indorsed. Mr. Halliard’s indebtedness was with- hela from the directors by the Fxecu- tive Committee, the latter gentlemen havin, implicit confidence in his ability to fi security for the amount. He ase security for $35,000 of the amount, but the secu: offered for the resi- due was not thought sufficient, and at last it was de- termined to bring the matter to the attention of the py ome a a Hoops vo on was bre tna meeting on Monday night a plan of reorganization sented and adopted. Dr. T. 0 O'Callaghan ‘was elected president, without opposition, and James J, Reid, secretary of the State FF Tnaurance Com- pany, was elected chairman of the Executive Commit- tec. Resolutions were adopted, directing the mem- bers of the Executive Committee to visit Chancellor Runyon and, in order to prevent the stitution from going into t hands of «a receiver, to propose that each of the directors po tod $1,000 bank for one without ini t in order to resnine business, The committee will visit the Chancellor to-day, and should the propo- sition be accepted it was deck to puy the depositors the amount of their claim with the exception of about teu por cent, and the remainder to be when a suf- ficient surplus shall have accumulated.
