A somewhat startling statement concerning the Union Loaguo Club of New York is made to day in a society Journal. It 1b said that under the pressure of urgont need all the wealthy Kepubll can members of tho club were Induced this Fall to at least double ihelr subscriptions to tho party's Slate treasury.

Even this was not sufflclont to meet tho emergoucy and a committee of fifty was ap pointed to pass the hat. The committee boI icited campaign subscriptions not only from members but from a few hundred candidates in "the waillug list." Tho candidates accepted the communication as a "stand and deliver" ordor and, iu the language of tho society Journal, pre ferred blackmail to blackball," and oach gontlo mau who responded sent a chock for three flguros. Tho llepublican defeat, however, was a set back and it was feared that some of tho gontlemenon tbo waiting list would talk too freely. Then tho Union League Club ordered that tho following cir cular be seat to outsiders: New Yoiik, November 10, 1887. IBAH Silt By direction of tho Executive Com mlltoo tho Unlou Loacuo Club I beg to say that iho circular of dale Novembor 2, 1887, signod by myself as chairman of the Committee of Fifty, was intended for members of tho club only.

This is tuo latest cplsodo In a story which Mr. Till Hard rolated lo tho reporter to day: "On Mon day night my wife and Mrs. Dixoy wero, by my invitation, in a private box at the Theater Comiqito when I was playing with irs.

London, November 17. Baker Pasha died at Tel Ul Keblr to day from fever contracted at Port Said while proceeding by itoamer to Cairo. Valentine Baker, by title Baker Pasha, was an Englishman by birth, like Hobart Pasha and other Turkish commanders.

It may t6 remembered that his army suffered a terrible de feat at the hands of tho Arab and negro allies of tho Mahdi. After tho rout of tho forces of Hicks Pasha Baker was generally looked to as the main support of the Khedive's authority. The mission in which he was engaged at the time was an attempt to relieve the loyal garrison at Slnkat, whence Tewfik Pasha had made a sortie only to be out in pieces with all his troops. Since the affair ol 1884 Baker ha been in Bgypt, where he died. His previous history lo a curious one.

In former years he was a dashing officer in the Touth Eagllsh Hussars, a potted darling of London society and an Intimate friend of the Prince of Wales, In an evil hour he assallod a youug lady In the compartment of a railroad car. This was followed by a criminal trial, in the course of which he injured his cause by resorting to the usual refuge of tho common scoundrel, that of attempting to blacken the character ot the lady and to misrepresent her motivos for prosecuting him. He was cashiered and im prisoned. In order if possible to retrieve his shattered reputation by gallant conduct as a warrior be entered tho Turkish service, became a favorite with tho Sultan and served with distinction in the Ottoman Army. In 1882 ho was appointed the Sul tan's representative to superintend tho introduction of reforms in Asia Minor, At the close of tho Egyptian campaign that fol lowed the siege of Alexandria, Baker Pabha resigned his post as aide de camp to the Sultan to accept charge of the task of reorganizing the Egyptian army.

Ho was a gallant soldier, a rigid disciplina rian, and his capacity, fidelity and gallantry ia a measure enabled him to wipe out the infamy which stained hiin as the rosult of youthful folly. Ed. EAOI.E.J 11 EN BY KNOLL AGAIN. Henry Knoll, e. German, who hns figured extonstvoly as a'defeudaut in police court circles, was again before Justice Keuna this morning.

Tills time he was accused of having abandoned his wife and children, who live at 140 George street Knoll pleaded not guilty and was held for trial. NO NEW COUNT Can be Had, Even if Chapin Agrees. It Will Take Somfithinfr More Than Mn tual Consent to Open (he Ballot Boxes. The Aldermnnio Committee continued work on tho city canvass this morning, and by noon had progressed eo far as to include the Seventeenth Ward. Tho Sixteenth Ward gavo 2,105 votes for Chapin, 2,917 for Baird, 525 for Clancy nuil 23 for Utter, and tho Soventoenth Ward, 2,372 for Chapin, 2,50 tor lialrd, 1,153 for Clancy and 103 for Utter.

Uuo citizen of tho Ninth District of the Sixteenth Ward, oxprossed his opinion of Soth Loiv by voting for him for Constable. A few Republican politicians, who hato to admit defeat simply because thoy think it was impossible to boat Baird, havo beon clamoring for a recouut of tho ballots In tho boxes, without stopping to examine tho law on tho subjoct They seem to be of the opinion that all thoro Is to bo dono to secure such a recount is for Mossrs. Chapin and Baird to agreo to it They are as far off on this as they were on tho outcome of tho olootion. A fow moments' examination of tho law will put them right Tho statute regulating elections iu tho City of Brooklyn provides at Section 11: The ballots Immediately after tho same suau cc canvassed nnd counted, shall oe placed uju LuiiKuts in iuo DAiioi coxes rrom which they wero respectively laken, excepting such as aru attached to tho returns of tho election; nud iho canvassers shall place in the ballot boxes with tho ballots a certificate slating tbo number of voles cast and the number of votes by them attached to the returns of said oloctlon; and each ballot box, auer urn ueKois shall be so replaced, shall be securely sealed up by tho canvassers, and thnv hnii then bo deposited by them in tho department of iu siuui tnt re vc Ktpi unamntrwtL and intuo larc tiurii ri.v are. Ufnfcrt af ifte nexf election, unless re quxrea as cviaetice any court of record.

This is concluslvo answer to any proposition for a recount by mutual consont On tho consent of tho Attorney General an action in tho nature of a icarranto could bo Instituted in the relation of An drew 1). Baird against Mayor Chapin. If iho com plaint did not specify tho particulars of tho irreg ularities or frauds relied upon tho Court would on application grant a bill of particulars, thoreby compelling the relator to set out the definite and specific facts upon which tho proceedings were based. So far as would bo rolovantto the facts Bot out and reliod upon, the ballot boxos might be put in evidenco. Whether thoy could be put in, in the first luEtance, without oxtrlusic and preliminary proof on any specified Irregularity or fraud Is doubtful.

Tho canvass of the Eighteenth Ward showed 2,802 for Chapin, 3,587 for Baird, 820 for Clancy aud 71 fr Utter. Tho committee at 1:30 took a roceas until 3 P. M. HOTEL FIRES. The City Authorities Illoyins: Safety of Gncsts.

KIERNAN FAILS. The Ex Senator in Deep Finaii' cial Water.

Claiiains: that He Ha? Been Cheated by Jfis Partner and Declaring that lie is Not Yet a Dead Duck. Much surprise was created in Wall stroet svnd Chat neighborhood this mornlug by the appear ance ol the following circular: NEW York, November IT, 1887. Ab a series of Judgments obtained asaiust Mr. John J. Klernan havo causod many inquiries vo bo maue at tuia omeo, wo Deg lo adviso our menus, customers, and all others Interested, that this con corn has no connection whatever with the individual operations of Mr.

Kiernau, and is in no way responsible for his "financiering. therefore camion all pcrs ua agaiunt negotiation any loan, check, draft, bill of exchange, promissory note or other commercial evidence of value, purporting to bo drawn, indorsed or accepted by John J. Klernan no matter by whom presented, as the business of this concern requires no such accommodation. Subscribers are particularly cautioned against making any advances lo any person whatsoever on subscriptions to our service, as such advances will not bo recognized. Our regularly authoriz: collector will carry with him riroper credentials, countersigned by Mr.

William P. Sullivan, the managing partner. Wo aro constrained to publish this notice, because of the fact that we have roooutly been informed that Mr. Kiernan claims to havo assigned tola Interest in this business to one P. J.

stud has, since the purported making of such assignment, obtained financial accommodation from some of our subscribers, who were not aware of tho facts. Any person specially interested may obtain further information on tho subject by addressing his Inquiry to William I'. Sullivan, at this ofllee. J. Kiernan 6 Hruad street, New York.

It seems that this circular was net printod a Klernan's agency, but in a Job offlco. Nountor Kiernan did not know of its existence until a mos senger boy handod him a copy. Then ho sunt out over the agoncy's tickers tho folio ing reply: Special Notice Tho pair. msnf my news agi ncy Lave beon treated Ibis morning to a circular transmitted over our wires covering private mutters rotating to the affairs of John J. Kiernan Co.

news agency will not be conducted under the ilrm Dame of John J. Kiernan it Co. lobster than to November, 1838, when tho parlnership with William P. Sullivan expires. Until then, or until a possible earlier dissolution, both myself ami our customers may oxpeet to bo inlormed over the wires of my private matters.

I have not signed tlie t.ame of John J. Kiernan Co. to nuy check or other evidenco or tndeoledne s. though by tbe terms oi partnership 1 am fully authorized to do so. The caution iu Mr.

Sullivan's circular against papers sigue I by J. Kiernan. Co. ia maliciously intended, an I is in retaliation for my assigning my intorost iu thn partnership to the Hon. P.

J. GJeusoii, which interest Jlr. Sullivan hoped lo secure to hiui oU' by purchasing a Judgment lalely obtained airainst me. Signed I. kiehnan.

Tho two circulars gave tho public a good dc il to talk about. There had beea no previous rum that Senator Kiernan was seriously involve fiii.uieialiy, or that trouble had been broking in his between him and his partner, William I'. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan and Senator Kiernau wero overwhelmed with ausious callers.

Mr. Sullivan Imparted to his callers tho ad lilion al Information thai Soualor Kicrnaa had declared that he had assigned bis interest iu the ngeacy to Mayor Gleason iu February, iu consideration of 12,000 owed by him to Gleason. Mr. Sullivan said, further, that the Senator was insolvent and had liabilities of about flOT.OOO, several heavy Judgments having been reconily entered again him. The agency, Mr.

Sullivan nssurod his callers, was not liable for Senator Klernan'n debts and would go on as usual. He sai I that his object iu publishing his circular was to force tho question to an jssuo as to whether Seuator Kiernan or Mr. Ulonson iwned a part of Iho agency. Mr. Sullivan also announced to a reporter of tho Eaoi.k that Senator Klernan had overdrawn his accounts with tho agency, though to what amount he declined to say.

That matter was not at all serious. The Senator sat smilingly iu an upper room of SI Wall street, surrounded by friends. He was loud In his denunciation of Ma tager Sullivan. assigneu to my mend uieason, ho said, "on account of money I o.rod htm. Last year 1 gave him plouty of money.

Early this year, 1 got money from him. Another roason why I assigned was lo escape liability for about 500,000 worth of lloul suits In which that man, Sullivan, had Involved my ngoncy during my abnenco, without my knowledge I bellove my liabilities will not exceed $25,000. My assets are much over that figure. Sullivan wa3 picked up out of tho gutter by mo when I went to the Legislature, to manage my businoss, and ho has steadily schemed to squeeze mo out of the concern. Most of tho Judgments entered up against mo have been either paid or partially paid.

I am not a dead duck yet, by a good bit. 1 am going to start an opposition news agency a3 soon a3 I can complete. my arrangements. Iam going to mako a strong Bffort to havo Kiniau's ageney put in the hands of a ceiver. 1 have an affidavit from a formor book keeper iu my agency, swearing that Sullivan cheated mo out of 2,000 a mouth, for a period of months.

I have also had his lawyer. Bracken, up In (supple mentary proceedings on account of a financial transaction I had with him." An Intlmalo triend of Senator Klernan said: Tho Senator has failed through not Knowing how to take care of his monoy. He is generous and open lieartod to a fault Ho has given loads of mouey away to politicians and other people, worthy and unworthy alike.

SLEPT SOUNDLY And Didn't Know of His Narrow Escape.

It Took a Good Deal to Arouse Charier Johnston ou His Return from tho Carncy McAuliffe Fifrht. As the bridge train which left tho New Y'ork side at about 12:15 yesterday morning was nearly half way across the passengers In it wero startled by tho sound of galloping febt Looking from the car windows thoy saw a cab dart past on the roadway at headlong speod. Tho driver had evidently lost entire control of his horso and ovory body expected that its mad progress would bo stopped only by tho stout bars of thogatoat tho Brooklyn end. Just boforo tho train had reached its destination tho cab was seen at a standstill, tho horso having como to griof against the tho stono wall at tho sido of tho road. The drivor had succeeded In throwing tho animal and had os capod without injury.

Strange to say, tho horso had not been killed and escaped with a slight lameness. The only damago that had beon dono was tho breaking of the shafts of tho cab, which wore snapped off cioso to tbo thills. Tho solo occupant of the veliiclo was Mr. Charley Johnston, tho well known sporting man, who keeps a saloon at the cornor of Fulton and Mlddagh streets. Mr.

Johnston will never know, except by hearsay, how narrowly ho escaped death, for ho never woko up until the cab stopped, and he was assisted out none tho worse tor his oxpe rlonce. He was on his way homo from tho Me Aulitto Carney fight, of which ho was au interested spectator. In compuuy with "Jim" Wakoloy, another sporting man, bolter known as Brooklyn Jlmmie," who has a gorgeous saloon at Thirty sixth stroet and Sixth avenue, Now York; Frank Stevenson, who was referee ot tho light, and the redoubtable Jack Dempsoy, Mr. Johnston hart reached Now Y'ork oarly In the oven'mg. The party had been Imbibing freely of tho "Joy that nover fadeth at Wakoloy saloon and Johnson's frlouds had bkiU him homo In tho cab.

At the lattor's saloon this morning tho barkeeper said that Johnston had not shown up thero since he loft town for the fight Monday night. Ho was much surprised to hoar of bis employer's narrow escape. While making Inquiries about tho cnb of a cabman, whose stand Is at this end of tho bridge, tho roportsr discovered that there is a great deal of latent indignation felt anion local drivers at tho action of the bridge authorities in closing, the gate wheu there Is a runaway. Said tho cabman iu quostiou: "its an outrago to cld3e tho gate and Is almost sure to result In los of life, either lo tho horso or driver or both. Of courso It would not do to allow tho runaway to got out on to tho slreot, but certainly some dovieo might bo usod which would be as effective without bolng so murderous as a woodon gale.

For Instance, a not ma lo of woll tested rope might bo arranged with weights so that it could bo letdown. 1 his net could be mado strong enough to stop any team without particular injury to It. Its arrangomont could bo mado vory stmplo. Two strong posts with loaders on the sides on which rings nttached to tho odges of the net could run would do the business. All tho man on watch would havo to do would bo to press a spring and let the not down.

A New Point as to the Service of f.effal Papers. Tho legal status of the Saturday half holi day has never boon fully determined, but a little oversight in the service of a summons and com plaint brought the matter before Judgo Cullen In the Supreme Court to day.

The Complainant Didn't Appear, bat His Extremely luteresting Record Came to the Snrface. In June last Edward Briops commenced an notion for damages In tho City Court against the Brooklyn City Railroad Company.

Ho clalmod that in October, 1880, ho was driving through Gra uam avenue wnen his horso fell into a hole adjacent to tho railway track, and shortly thereafter died from its injuries. Tho company placed the cuse in tno nands of Morris Pearsall, Its lawyers. No one connected with the railroad had ever heard of the alleged accident. Upon investigation me lawyers loarned that on October 11, 1888, Mr. Colby, of 140 Conselyea street, was drivlncr along Graham avenue and near Conselvoa street his horso stepped upon some paving stones, whlchunk a little, there being a small hole under the stones, caused by a washout.

Brlggg Is a short, iuick set man with black, curly flair aud the proud possessor of a brokou noso. Mr. Colby iuformed the company's lawyers that a man answering riggs uescription was present whon his horso stopped upou the loosened stones and spoke to him, aud that a fow days later he called at Colby's house and urged Colby to start a suit against the com pany. Colby declined to do so, as his horso had not teen at all injured and ho said he had not seen Briggs since. Shortly after Brigg commenced his suit he called at the City Railroad office and said ho would settle If the give him $275 for tho horse.

Ho addod that he was a resident of Glen Cove: that Dr. James, a veterinary surgoon, of 163 North Elliott place, had doctored tho horso after the accident, but tho animal was so badly injured it could not be saved. Inquiry among the residents of North Elliott placo dlsclosod that at one tlmo a man who was tno vory picture of Briggs lived on that stroet and called himself Dr. Jamos. The lawyors sent out to Glen Cove, but no ono there could be found who ever heard of Briggs.

Things began to look suspicious nnd the lawyors thought they smellod a good sized mouse. Thoy trioJ to find out whora Briggs could havo possibly stablod his horso, but he would not tell aud no one else seemed to know. men tho quostlon arose, Did ho ever have a horso From a saloon keeper on Myrtlo avenue it was loarned that Briggs had once disported himsolf as a corn doctor and had been known as "Doc" Jamos, but developing iuto a bogus photographer was arrested by Ofiicor Campbell, of Justlco Mas sey's Court, for swindling peoplo out of monoy paiu to mm ror photographs which ho was to take for them. This appears to havo boon In September, 1880, oue month bofore (lie fatal injury to his alleged horse. Ho promised to turn ovor a new loufaudso tits victims withdraw tho charge.

He did as ho had promised aud turuod over a now leaf, for ho wa3 soon masquorading through tho sioros on Broadway, Now York, as a deaf and dumb man, without frUnds or homo, asking for aid. In Wnssorman's storo thoro happened to bo a gontloman who recounted in him tho fostivo Doc." James, wlioroupon the said deaf aud dumb man gavo a very praciical Illustration of human celerity. Nor did his versatility end there, for it was learned that he had at one limo beon a horse doctor, tho proprietor of an infallible snavin n. i vinclbio exterminator of coughs, colds, dlstom por nnd spinal meningitis. Failing to convince au unnpprociatiug public of tho superiority of his horse medicines, "Doc James was found to have enlisted as a song and dance artist, a manipulator ot Bud woiser aud a genoral utility man in a free and easy ou Myrtle avonuo.

Offi or Campbell said that no ono who over saw Doc's omphalic counte nance could ovor IO30 tlie mental picture thus obtained. FurthO' investigation uncovered the fact that hi November, less, ono month after tho alleged accident, tho matt with the phonomiual faeo and head had turned up before Jmtice Naohor iu tho person of a Mr. Edward Price. Ho was trgod with having obtained from Mrs. Wooley as a deposit ou account of photo graphs which wero to bo takon by W.

J. Johnston Co. of ii8 Kast Fourteenth stroot, Now Y'ork City, which firm had uo existence outside Iho Imagination of Edward Price, alias "Doc." James. Charges for swindling wore at tho samo time made against him by Lizzie Meyer, David S. Holmes and Valentino Hoersbelham.

Officer Campbell was sent for and at once recognized Prico as the samo man who had but two months previous paid his respects to Justice Massey as Charles W. James. Ju3tico Nuehor thereupon sent tho versatile gentleman out to Crow Hill on two of tho charges, giving him six mouths on each. Ho was uot long out thoro among tho pegging and stitching machiuos of tho shoe shop when ho was attacked by what may be described as voluntary rhoumatism in tho logs aud back. In this pitiable condition he was, through tho exertions of a well known lawyer, released from durauce vllo on crutches.

Many suus had not paintod the eastern skies wheu the crutches disappeared and Doc James was himself again. He forthwith wont to Lawyor Patterson and told that disciple of Coke and Blackfltone of tho great misfortune that had befallon his ST5 horse nine short mouths beforo. The lawyer's heart was touched by tho sad recital and wiping a fugitive tear from his off chook tho lawyer drew up a complaint against the railway company, which his client signod nnd swore to. After allowing tho formidable ingredients ot the complaint to sink deep into the mind of Preslueut Lewis Briggs presented himself beforo that official with the aforesaid announcement that he would let up on tho corporation if ho would just lot him have $275 worth of justice. Not loug aftor that he sent word that out of regard for the stockholders of the company he would take $73 for that late lamented $375 horse aud call It quits.

His persuasive elo quenco fell upon stubborn and impaired tympanums. So tho caso was set down for trial ou yesterday's calondar ot the City Court. The company's lawyors were thore on time, as were also a large number of the plaintiff's erstwhile acquaintances, who were really anxious to see him. But the fellow that thoy looked for nover came. The caso was called, but oven (ho plaintiff's ln wyer failed to materialize, and Judge Osborne, on motion, ordered Judgment for the company, with costs.

A number of smiling countenances were soon seen to leave the court room. NO AFFECTATION IS IT. An Enterpriae Wlticll Opens the Little Hand of Cnlirthood. The following touching recognition of local Grand Army charity has beon recolvod from Com. mlssiouor Black: Bureau of Pensions, Washington, d.

"Tho Associated Press reports of tbe battle between Jack McAnlifle and Jem Carney have done MeAuiirre a groat injustice," said Jack Dompsey this morning to ou Eaolb reporter. "I was McAuliffo's second and ought to know. There was uo lime during nil the seventy four rounds of fighting when McAulIffo wanted to quit.

If he had wanted to stop the tight It was easy enough for him to have given his Jaw to Carney to punch. He could then have got knocked down and have simply laid there till tho fight was given to Carney. You take my word for it, McAulIffo is a dead gamo man and tried ail ho knew to win for his hackers. There was bot at the ring sldo, and hn was trying to win It for his friends all the time. Uo stood away from Carney most of tho tlmo on my advice.

Ho ought to have had the fight on fouls. Carney struck him with his knees several times aud butted him in the stomach also. Tho reportor who wrote the Associated Press reports was very much preju diced in Carney's favor, and hod ovor 11,000 bot on him, partly his own monoy and partly his frleuds. Tho Boston papers report the fight fairly. Mc AulIffo is the be3t lighter and will win If they come together again, but he will havo to kill Carney to do it.

Carney is clear grit to his last breath; one of the grittiest man I over saw. McAulIffo laughed at him half the lime. Ho can't fight half ns well as McAulIffo but ho can stand a terriblo pile of punching. There is no soft spot In bin. Ho did not bite McAuliffo; that was a voty natural mistake which some of McAuIirfe's friends made.

Carney has two front toeth knoekod out and the teeth besido them project. When thoy clinched thoso teeth struck McAuliffo on the shoulder and they mado a scratch. It was unintentional and I did not claim Will there bo auy more tight I don't know. 1 am just going ovor to New York to see. Como along."

That General Jourdan Was a Cold Hearted Scoundrel Iuterestlnff Testimony ia Sol Sayle's Butchor Bill Lawsuit A Motion to Dismiss Denied. Mrs. John P. Dodge, widow of the late manager of the Brighton Beaoh Hotel, sat alone of her box and darkly vailed In Judge Lawrence's Court this morning, along with all the beach potentates aud the resplendent Mr. Solomon Saylos, who is uiug General Jourdan for the value of moat furnished the house during Mrs.

Dodge's incumbenoy. The trial during Its earlier moments was dull and uninteresting. General Jourdan testified in contradiction of Mr. Sayles' evidence given yesterday hat he had made a personal bargain for tho meat, and Colonel E. L.

Laugford, Superintendent J. L. Morrow and Accountant W. J. Russell each took a turn In detail.

Then tbe defense called John Y. Fitchett, Superintendent of the Coney Island Improvement Company. His testimony was entirely personal and related to Sun day meetings in a Montague street saloon with Colonel Theodore F. King, the plaintiff's leading witness, once cashier of tho house. He met Colonel King on numerous occasions at which Genoral Jourdan was discussed, and at ono of which King Bald: 1 Jourdan is a scoundrel," and added that he proposed to stand by his friends.

Air. Fitchett stepped down and gavo way to Mrs. Dodge, who held the chair for a moment to prove that Sayles had mot the general at the hotel in company with her husband. John P. Hudson, a previous wituess, hnd Bworn that Jourdan didn't know Saylos and had to be introduced to him when they met with their attorneys to see about the claims.

Colonel King followed. He is a big, dark man with deep sunken eyes aud a bulging Jaw. Ho admitted talking to Fitchett, but denied that ho had used tho hnrd language claimed. Fitchett himself was the man who appliod tho terms. He was on bad termB with Jourdan.

I didn't I did say ho was a cold hearted scouudrol." Then General Tracy climbed over the wltnoss. He wanted to know why the colonel fostered that opinion. After awhllo he cot this: "I came to this conclusion from observing his ways around the houso, from his compelling a dying man Mr. Dodgo to testify and from the way ho did things. Ho might have saved matters If he had cared to." Tho General smiled and twisted his mustache and the Saylo's lawyor uudertook to go deeper into tho cold hearted scoundrel's business.

The Court topped everybody. I can't lot this thing go into personalities," he said. The trial has strung out too long now and I think I understand tho witness' reasons for his belief. Dou't crawl all ovor creation to got a simple idea Hko that into our minds." Mr. King continued lo say that he never alludod to General Jourdan In a certain specified wicked way unless he did it last weok In a row with Mr.

Morrow. "1 might havo said it; I can't toll. Wo got very angry." Weron'l you boastly Intoxicated at the time 7" asked General Tracy. "I was very much under the Influence of liquor." "Weren't you drunk?" 'I was; for tho first tlino In a year." Ho wout down. The plaintiffs wanted another witness.

Ho was not thore aud the Court could not wait. So both sides rcstod. General Tracy movod to dismiss on tbo grouud that the action should havo beon brought agalu3t General Jourdan, as receiver. The Court hoard the other side and donied the motion on the evldonco presented, which alleged that Mr. Dodge was to pay a fixed roiual to tho company and pay 50 per cent ol tho profits to General Jourdan personally, and therefore left It lo the Jury.

He adjourned for rocoss early to glvo tho counsol a cbauco to get their thoughts together that thoy might finish it quick; it was a bad tangle, tho Court observed, but ho be lloved ho know as much of it as tho lawyors.
