den City had claim OF $500. 900 against the
Commercial, and he had not had time to reduce
it to Judgment. In it's present shape, the Rogls~
ter had refused to allow it. -~
11r. Cooper opposed tho poBtponoment, be-
cause Mr. Smith Ind had sufficient time to do what
he proposed. 1t was q matter Of importance that
an Assignee be elected in order to make proper
defense to the action Of the Garden City against
+ the Commercial.
11r. Goudy favored the deferment, urging that
tho Garden City should have tho right to vote it's
claim. 49,.
Mr. Hutchinson, who represents about 150
creditors, coincided with the Yiows OF 9lr.
Cooper. 1t was generally understood, he said,
that the assets of the Commercial had been dis
sipated in one way or another, and hence an
Assignee should be elected at once in order that
he might collect what assets remained for the
benefit Of tho creditors. 4 year and q half had
elapsed since the Company bccame bankrupt,
aud no creditor could reasonably ask for further
time.
Mr. Goudy said that creditor had tho right
to examine the proofs before vote was taken,
so that objections if there wero any, cou1dibo
made.
Mr.. Hutchinson replied that the law did not
require an adjournment OF the election to give
such opportunity The examination could be
made after the election.
TheRegster decided that an election waB prop
er, and d vote WAS accordingly taken. Robert
E. Jenkins received 323 votes, representing
$4,000, and Harlow P Smith, IS votes, repre-
Eenting $4,000.
Tho former was not dec!ured olectcd the ques-
ton OF his election being left With tho Court, the
justice Of the olaim OF the Garden City having
to be determined. If the claim is adjudged to
be valid tho election will, Of course, be void
otherwise Jenkins will be entitled to discharge
the duties Of Assignee.
The meeting was not characterized by the
good feeling usual at such assemblages. There
are evidently two factions interested, and somo
rich developments arc promised when the mat
ters involved come before the United States Dis
trict Court for settlement
A HEN WITH a SINGLE CHICK.
II the Journal man who gets up = certificates
will look at the first article in the laW-column OF
TIE TRIBUNE Of Wednesday, he will find the
document that he gave with such flourish OF
humpets in his Wednesday evenings issne,-
with the single exception that in THE Tn1B-
usE it appeared in the shape Of an
"answer" in bankruptcy, and in the Journal as
q further petition in o pending cause.-the LAM
guage being so altered as to permit the change.
The latter document WAS fled in the Clerks
Office hours after the Journal won't to press, by
their own showing and was published as q ne1o
bill. It WIS not q new bill; and nobody IN the
courts knew Of its existence until it had ap-
peared in print The paper Was indorsed by
clerk, and at once put away with the files, and
it Was not until u O'Clock yesteaday morning
that the Clerk Of Judge Williams Court saw it.
