Tnstead of forty peo- ple that would be affected she sald that at least 150 would feel the effects of the new erminals. : [ ‘When she finished Mr. Stickney made his exit. Half of the delegation were women and the entire assemblage seemed a little awed by the presence of the rallway man.

The case is entitled Julla Flanagan against David and Emma L. Van Etten. This case first made its way through the various minor courts and up to the supreme court. From there it was remanded again to the lower courts, where it has been con- tested for some years, and now that the detendants in the case have again been de- feated the announcement is made that the case will once more be carried to the su- preme court. John and Julla Flanagan, the defendants in this case, are colored people and were ves In the ante-bellum days. They a Quired, through gift and purchase from their former masters, a oconsiderable tract of real estate in Omaha. Neither can read or write and entrusted their legnl mattes to David Van Etten, an attorney. In this case the Flanagans sought to recover $2,000 damages. It was alleged that.on March 2, 1599, the defendants were indebted to one J. W. Howell for money borrowed in the sum of $512.60 and that the defendants applied to the Flanagans to sign a note payable to the order of Howell to secure the obligation, but that the defendants represented to the Flanagans that the note which it was de- sired they should sign was for the sum of $100, when in fact it was for $512.50. Relying upon these statements and not being able to read or write, the Flanagans signed the note. It was also alleged that sald note was afterward placed In judgment without t plaintift's knowledge and her property was levied upon and sold to satisfy said judg- ment and property valued at $2,000, Denfes the Allegntio) The antwer flled by the defendant denfed the allegations of fraud and alleged that John Flanagan, the husband of Julla Flan- n, the defendant, in the summer of , was owing the defendant, David Van Etten, a large sum of money for legal sérv- ices, upon agreements and verbal contracts and for expensés incurred and costs paid for the defendant and for loans of money in the sum of $8,000. This wi et up as a counter clalm, and finally the $8,000 counter claim had been Increased to more than $12,- 000, and Flanagan denled that he was in- debted to Van Etten In any sum whatever. During the trial of this case, which occu- pled five days, the queer spectacle was witnessed of Van Etten on the witness stand asking himself questions. Being an attorney he conducted his own case, while on the other side the plaintiff, John Flana- gan, sat about the court room, unable to participate to any great extent in the case because of his inability to read or write, This did not hinder him, however, from in- errupting Van Etten frequently during the trial, much to the amusement of the court and the numerous spectators, When Van Etten would make some statement which Flanagan thought was Incorrect he would interrupt to say: ‘“Nonsense,” “'Oh, fudge,"” or something of the kind. He was irre- pressible and despite their best efforts the court and spectators could not keep from laughing. The Jury returned a verdict in faver of the plaintifts, and now Van Etten an- nounces that he will take the case before the supreme court once more. TWO TRUST COMPANIES FAIL (Continued from First Page.) posit when ita last statement was lssued $1,995,000. 1ts loans were $,418,000. Road that Caused Fallure, The Vera Cruz & Pacific rallroad runs across the isthmus of Tehauntepec and establishes a now transcontinental route, connecting on one side with the Atlantic ocean and reaching the Pacific on the other side. On the Atlantic side the terminals are at Vera Cruz and on the Pacific side at Sallna Crusz. Alfred Bishop Mason, of New York, as president of the company directed its construction and made several visits to Baltimore to confer with the of- fiolals of the trust company. The bullding of the road was slow work on account of the difficulties found In the construction of rallroads through a tropical country. One year was consumed in surveying and about three years In the work of construction, which was completed early this year. The plans of the rallroad company con- template the employment of its lines as a part of a transcontinental route from North Atlantic seaboard ports, including New York, Philadelphia and Balttmors, to San Francisco. It is also proposed to carry shipments through from th ports to Japan and othern’ eastern countries. The rallroad, being about 200 miles long, It was figured that shipments by this route could be carried to San Franclsco in about twelve days. President Mason stated on one occaslon that arrangements had been made with steamship companies for the necessary water connections. He also an nounced that the Japanese government had guaranteed to establish a subsidized line of steamers from Salina Crus to Japan. Steel bridges and steel ralls for the con- struction of the railroad were shipped from Baltumore. John 8. Alexander of Philadelphla was associated with Alfred Bishop Mason as promoter of this rallroad. Moot Felt in New York, NEW YORK, Oct. 18~The fall- ure’ of the Maryland Trust com- pany of Baltimore caused & weak stock market today. Liquidation was general, but the decline in Baltimore & Ohio and Bouthern rallway preéferred was attributed directly to selling \nduced by the fallure. ‘Those stocks, United Btates Steel preferred and Amalgamated Copper were notably weak, but losses of 14 fo over 2 points were quite general during the first hour. ‘The industrials were in the decline also. Selling by forelgn houses, owing to the re- newed uneasiness over the far eastern situ- ation and the financial conditions in Lon- don, aggravated the weakness. The publication of the reassuring state- ments regarding the extent of the Bal. more financial troubies helped to hold the market, but the announcement of & pec- ond Baltimore fallure, that of the Union Trust company,- reawakened acute un- easiness and the whole market fell vio- lently again. Losses reached three’ points in Southern Rallway preferred, Southern Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and Amer- fcan Car, three and one-eighth in Baltimore & Ohio and Missour!
