WHO OWNS I Railroad Stock Figuring in 8 Legal Action. The Asiienee of Henry S. Ires Off tains a Temporary Injunction Was th Property Transferred as Security oe Sold Outright Recently a temporary injunction was obtained In the Supreme Court by William Nelson Ctomwoll, tho assignee of Henry S. Ives against Christopher Meyer, John C. Meyer, James Dreshler, J.

C. Evans and others to restrain them from voting on 6,400 shares of the stock of the Cin cimiHtl, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Company at the annual meeting of tho company. Tho plain iff claims that the defendants are simply tha pledgees of the stock in question, and the de. fendants claim to be the owners. It appears tnat previous to August, 1887, Henry S.

Ives Co. borrowed various sums of money of Christopher Meyer, aggregating $700,000, putting up as collateral the 6,400 shares of railroad stock; above named. In August of that year it was agreed that the loan should be exteuded for one year and it was augmented by a note for $12,000, making tha total amount of tho loan 1742,000, and the 6,400 shares remained as collateral. Subsequently, Ives Co. made an assignment to William Nelson Cromwell.

The latter, as assignee, claimed to own tho 6,400 shares of stock, but Meyer claimed II was a purchase and not a loan, and that as the owner, he had tbe right to vote on it A temporary in. Junction was obtained restraining tbe defendants from voting the stock, and to day the matter cams bofore Judge Pratt, of the Supremo Court, on tha argument to mako the injunction perpetuaL Will, iam J. Curtis and Edgar Johnson appeared for As. slgnoo Cromwell, and Colonel Clifford H. Bartletl for the dofeudanta.

Counsel for the plaintiff said a pool had been formed by the ofilcers aud managers of tho railroad comnany to re elect themselves and porpotunte themselves iu office. This proposed action, counsel said, was detrimental to the interest of ttio estate represented by Assignee CromwelL Tho defeudant, Christopher Meyer, is vice proal. deut of the compauy and a party to the agreement The stock had always been voted, counsel claimed, by Ives and not uulll this time had tho de foudants claimed the right to vote it There waa no way in which the present value ot the stock could be determined. In reply Colonel Bartlett submitted the affidavit of the defendant, Christopher Meyer, in whioh hs denied all the allegations of the plaintiff, lie de posed that the 6,400 shares were not put up Vs collateral for money borrowed. He also dimmed that the alleged extension of tho loanvwas false, or that the defendant was interested! in any pool as alleged.

Defeudant further deposed that in August, 1887, Ives Staynor drew up a nite for 1700,000 for one year, whish Moysr declined to take, and a second note also offered was also de cliued. Deponent purchased the stock In question through Ives and paid for it, becoming Its absolute owner. When the railroad company held it) annual meeting in 1836, the deponent was not present, but in 1837 he did attend and voted the stock. The allegation of the plaintiff as contained tu the complaint aad attt tavivj, deponen said wore not true and were a pure matter of lal Icatlon on tlio pt of Ires or Staynor, or both, Decision was reserved, and briefs ara to be submitted.

Two young men. wtatle on ibeir way to work la this city, about 7 o'olook tills morning, discovered the body of Henry E. Whltehodse, aged 2i employe 1 at the eleotrlo light works, lying on Noble's Island shore, near a blacksmith shop.

The body was terribly disfigured, the throat being cut from ear to ear, while tlio head had ten or twelyo wounds which had boon Inflloted by gome blunt Instrument A machinist's hammer was found near by. Whltetiouae was paying attention to a young lady in Kiitery. He had left there shortly after 11 o'clock last night aud was due at iho electric station at 12. It Is supposed that Whltehouso was killed on the highway near tho railroad track and ranged to the shore, a trail of blood being discernible. Superintendent Palmer, of the Electric Light Company, when shown the hammer, exclaimed "My God That settles it In my mind." Ten minutes' later the Sheriff arrested James Palmer, a former employe of the Electric Light Company, and lodged him iu Jail on suspicion of committing the deed.

On Wednesday Whltehouso, in company with Sheriff Coffin and Superintendent Palmer, searched James Palmer's house for some tools. Palmer, It Is said, swora to be revenged. Whitehouse was a very exemplary young man. ACCIDENT ON A STEAMER. London, May 28.

The President Will Stay Here About Two Hours.

Why Mayor Chanin Went ta Washington. He Said Nothing: Abnnt Presenting Cleveland's Jfame to the Convention. Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. May sa The entire programme for the review of the Memorial day parade tu Brooklyn has boon ar rauged without consulting President Cleveland and the men who Dave elaborated it will be somewhat surprised to learn that much of the Presidential part of it will have to be omlttod altogether.

Those who are announcing the President's proposod visit have been somewhat enthusiastic. 'The President iutonds to finish reviewing the New York City parade at 11:30 o'clock. Ho will then be immediately driven to tho reviewing stand in Borooklyn. He will leave Jersey City at 3:40 for Washington, and will spend but about two hours In Brooklyn. Of course this will not allow hlra to take part in any of the receptions in contemplation.

Kvou if he had ample time at his disposal he would not have consented to auy recoptlou such as has been advocated by tho Tilden Club. His entire visit to Brooklyn and New York will be kept perfectly clear of political connection. He will be in Washington at 9 o'clock at night, and any claim to the eftoct that he will stop In New Jersey on his return is unfounded. This statement is authoritative. Mayor Chapln visited Washington for several hours Saturday aud called on the President, but several other gentlemen were In tho room during the call aud no private or political matters were discussed.

The call was exceedingly short. Mr. Chapln simply appearing for a certain bill now in tbe President's hands awaiting his slenature. He said nothing about presenting Cleveland's name at SL Louis aud tho President did not mention the subject. Nothlug but tho bill under consideration was discussed.

NAVT YARD NOTES. Navigation Clerk Burke's Name Cri in mitis It is said at tbe Navy Yard that James Burke, the clerk in the Navigation Department who Is to be dismissed at the end of tills month, is the son of James Crimmins, the clerk iu tho Navigation Department who was discharged some woeks ago, and that he has been going under tho name of Burke to evade the law. Burke is a Tweniieth Ward Republican and has, it is said, shown offensive partisanship. Uouce his removal. Considerable complaint is made of the rule in force requiring all, except ofilcers and ladies, crossing to the cohdock on the scow to take the port side of the vosiol.

The ill smelling engine is ou that side. Tt is claimed by dorks and othor employes that the requirement is undemocratic and tends to create caste. Constructor Pook is preparing to leave the scene of his active duties. Nearly all tho work of his department is now in the hands of Assistant Naval Constructsr Hauscom. Mr.

Pook says that all tho work on vessels notr going on will be completed this year. The Chicago is under the derrick, ready to tako her masts. Tho titling of the Boston will bo completed by the Fall.

Portland, May 23. Nowb has Just been received from the north of tho total loss of the American bark Julia Foard, in Karluk Bay, Alaska. The vessel was wrecked April 25, but first intelligence was receivod yester day. Tho Julia Foard was commanded by Captain Trainor and came from San Francisco with a cargo of salmon canning tor the Karluk cannery. On her arrival anchor was dropped and preparations were made to discharge tho cargo and laud a number of Chinese passengers, when a heavy Btorra from the northeast came up and it appeared that unless the vessel could heave off shore aud tack to get off the dangerous rocks ou shore she was in eminent danger of being wrecked.

The anchor chain was hove short and ttio yards backed ready to tack when a heavy swoll sent the Foard against the treacherous rocks, fllliug her loiror hold. The storm increased, but with the from tho Karluk village all hands woro rescued, numberiug about forty people, including the crew. The passengers wore uninjured and savoa all persouul effects. THE GRAVESEND RACES. Hanover aud Ilnrd be Contestants Again To morrow.

Special to the Eagle. Orayesend Rack Track, L. May 23. The people who came down early to view the races to day were foroed to seek protectiou from the cold winds that blew from tho ocean. Much interest was centered in tho extra races annouueed for to morrow, the entries in which will not be closed until half au hour after the close of to day's events.

The fourth race to morrow, however, will include tho Emperor of Norlolk. The Bard and one of Dwyor's, probably Hanover. It Is a sweepstakes of $1,000 each, $S50 forfeit with ad led, of which J1.500 goes to the second. The appearanco of the Great Western 3 year old against tho victorious Hard will bring to tho grounds a crowd notwithstanding the attractions at Jorome Park. The rumor that the Dwyers, who feel sore over tholr defeat on Saturday will "tire out" Tho Bard with Hanovor tomorrow, so as to give Sir Dixon a chauee, cause a smile, as The Bard has proved his ability ta lead the running with Hanover.

Tho track to day was heavy from Saturday's rains. Thoro were frequent mud puddles near the inside rails. The first race was won by King Crab by a nock. Hoyal Arch spurted beautifully at tho finish, coming in second; Portland third. THE LETTERS UE NEVER BURNED.

The plaintiff is a comely, dark haired woman ot about 85 years, who haB been soparated from her husband for somo time. She was employed as a Bervant In a New York family at the beginning of last April when Mr. Schlotterer ongaged her as his housekeeper to do light work at $12 a month. He occupies a flat in his own building and his daughters are employed In astore. Betty, according to her own statement on the witness Btand, found favor iu her employer's eyes after entering upon her duties on April 9 and did pretty much as she pleased while there.

Mr. Schlotterer intimated that he felt lonely and when he heavod a deep sigh he touchod a responslvo chord in Betty's heart. The way in which she busied herself doing light work around the house pleased him and he did not fail to tell her so. When the shades of evenlug fell they were on friendly terms and castslde glances at ench other when the Misses Schlotterer were not around. Miss Clara Schlotterer had a birthday party that night and Betty and her employer mingled with the young people and chatted pleasantly When retiring, about midnight, Mr.

Schlotterer whispered words ot love to his housekeeper and unobserved by his chilron, embraced her, aud notwithstanding her gentle remonstrance gave her a kiss.

He gave as a reasoa that she was not an early enough riser. "It was not in tho contract," said Betty, naively Uhat I was ts kiss the boss, so I refused to do so, and that was the roal reason why I was discharged. I now want my full mouth's wages. Mr, H.

B. Davis, for the defense, moved to dismiss the case, as there was no law by which she could charge for kisses, and love making waB the only work, according to her own testimony, which she seemed to have done during the two days that she was In tho Schlotterers' service. The motion wasdeuied and the defendant was put upon the Btand. He denied the love making, and said Betty was discharged for sleeping late mornings. "She told me Tuesday," said Mr.

Schlotterer, that she wanted a new dress, and I replied that she could get one if she liked when her month was up and she had her wages." "That's not so," cried Betty. "You did not kiss Betty, you say asked Mr. Donnelly in cross examination. "No." "What, yon horrible man, to say you did not kiss mo," replied Betty, before her lawyer could stop her. You did not go to work that Tuesday or Wednes.

day?" persisted Mr. Donnelly. "No; I remained in the house to watch my nephew, who was fooling around Betty." "Jealous of him," said Mr. Donnelly, BOtto voce. Decision was reserved.

Is it to be wondered at that our children come home with pale faces, headache and "so tired," afler having worked fifty examples, minus mental questlona.

Why, most grown people would feel exhausted after tackling twenty five, and yet I find this number Is of very frequent occurrence. This is au Instance of overwork in one study only. Again 1b it not folly and cruelty to protract an examination until it covers three or four weeks, as was done last Sprlug, instead of finishing a class thoroughly and well In the course of two or three days 7 Does It not savor of downright heatbeulsm to keep a child In that state of dread and nervous expectancy which always precedes an examination for said length of time It is high time that a well graded manual with distinctly specified limits should bo arranged and adopted to meet the wants of our schools, and that our little ones should be led to hlcher knowledge by a more gradual aud simplified system than now exists.

He Thinks the TTidorf 0t More Than Her Share and Chariras Mental Incapacity and Dndue Influence. When Goneral Quincy A. Gillmore die.d on the 7th of last April he left a will, dated March 31, 1888, bequeathing f500 to each ot his four sons, tho bulk of his estate going to his widow, Mrs. Laura M.

Gillmore, who was tho general's second wife. The four sons, who are all growu, are the children of a previous marriage. Mrs. Gillmore iu duo course offered the will for probate, and the matter was set down for the 31st inst It was not supposed that there would be any contest Mrs. Gillmore resides at 147 Kemsea street, but the four sons are scattered.

Quincy O. Gillmore resides at Fort Davis, Edward D. Gillmore resides at Plainfleld, N. J. William B.Gillmore at Jersey City and Gregory R.

Gillmore at New Brunswick, N. J. It now appear that one of the sons, William B. Gillmore, is not satisfied with the disposition which his father made of his estate and has begun a contest It does not yet appear whether the other sons join la the contest or not, but there Is some reason to suppose, from the lauguage of the papers In the case, that others of the sons are Interested. The matter came before Surrogate Lott this morning on a petition made by William B.

Gillmore through his counsel, neury G. Atwater. The petition asserts that the general did not possess mental capacity sufficient to make a will whon he signed the document of March 31, 1888. He says, further, that about a year ago his father told him that he had made a will in which the petitioner aud Mrs. Laura M.

Gillmore were made executors, aud that this will was made Just before he (General Gillmore) had undergone a certain surgical operation, which was made in 1882. Therefore that must be the date of the will; further, that three or four months bofore Goueral Gillmore's death he spoke again to the petitioner about the will, and said that after taking out Mrs. Gillmore's share it divided the property between the four sons. After the general's death and tbo production of the will of March 31 the petitioner asked Lawyer Joseph M. Greenwood, who Is counsel for the estate, what had become of the will of 1831 Mr.

Greenwood replied that when tbe last will (that of March 31) was executed the soils wete torn from the will of 1892, with intent to revoke the same, and that it was then takeu by Mrs. Gillmore, who lias it lu her possession, "The petldoner declares that the last Is greatly In favor of the widow, at tho expense of the sons, waa obtained by undue influence and gives notice that he shall claim that the will ot 1832 was the last will and testament of the deceased. He says that he has made a demand upon Mrs. Gillmore for the will of 1882, but that it has uot been produced. The petition this morning was for an order directing Mrs.

Gillmore to produce the will of 1882, or that she be directed to file it iu court The appointment of a temporary administrator pending the suit was also asked for. It is staled that the property consists of roal estate In Ohio and West Virginia, of $7,500 in certified checks of the Kings County Elevated Railroad Company, given some months before the genoral's death and which have not been collected, together with certain other personal property. The argument on the motion will be heard on the 31st iust MOSEY MARKET. Easier ItitMroad Earnings. Stocks Generally Steadier.
