RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 49, 1875

The track Is laid on iron Orders or tiee,
three feet apart, which also rest on
iron bars, the whole structure being sup
ported by five piers and two abutments OF
hewn stone, twenty-six feet wide and eight
feet thick, increasing an inch to.the foot
down to the foundations, which rests on
foundations constructed of piles and con-
crete. The ties along the line of road are
of lignum vite, as are the telegraph poles,
mostly. But l am spinning this letter out
to pretty good length and must defer the
remainder for another, as wish to say q
few words in regard to the weather.
For the past few days we hBvc been en-
joying the Indian summer of the isthmus.
1t lasted about six days, during which time
we had no rain, but the trade winds from
off. the Caribbean made their appearance
again and blew quite strongly. This sea
son occurs regularly every year, commenc.
ing about the goth of June and lasting O
week, and by the natives is called "E
Veranito di San Juan" Qittle summer OF
st. John.) The origin of the name, Oh
why 1t should be called so, have not ye
found out.
Our health thus far has been good, anC
of course l am In hopes that it will be, a,
long as we remain here, be it either lonl
or short time. Everything is dull ant
quiet Fourth Of July is near at hand ant
| no sign of any observance of the day
although two or three of US are talking o
having dinner appropriate. But as til,
majority of our crowd are more inclined t,
save than throw out. it is safe to say tina
ii will not come off. If we do have any
thing will give you full account in m,
next. Au reyoir, BURT.

of that fraud, by taking money out OF that
corporation. Judge Donohue remarks
that It ls "high time that the courts take a
" stand condemnatory of such transactions
/" with trust funds, and hold the parties to
" rigid account. 1t is not a question what
right the defendant or his associates
-" had against unfaithful agents, but what is
"just to the stockholders, who are bound to
" rely on the trustees for justice, and what
"duty was cast on)the. defendant and asso-
" ciates when dealing with these trustees
GAS has been said by authority, while tech
" meal rules may be used to preserve rights
"the court should never be astute to md or
"enforce technical rules which will permit
ga wrong"
Judge Daniels presented dissenting
opinion from the majority of the court,
| in which he arrives at an entirely different
conclusion, and declares that under the
most favorable opinion that can be taken
of the facts, the judgment in Judge Bar
nard's court below is correct. The deci-
sion is that the suits against Mr.. Wander
bilt, for the settlement of which the
money was paid, were settled in fraud OF
the company's rights, and with its funds
and such funds should be returned. The
supreme court therefore denies new trial

ERIE AND VANDERBILT

Inc reversal OF Judge Barnard's decision
throwing out the famous suit brought by
the Erie railway company to recover the
ment of his losses in dealing with Erie
stock, has an Importance as showing q
turning of the tide in favor of the interests
of stockholders, as against railway kings
figuring upon the capital of others, as
though they were the corporations them
selves. 1t will be remembered that Com
modore Vanderbilt in attempting to corner
in Erie, was overwhelmed with unlocked
for issues of these Legitimate stocks, and
the Erie company, Daniel Drew being
treasurer, compromised with him by pay.
ing him million of dollars outright, and
buying back three and half millions
worth of Erie shares. la the suit against
Vanderbilt, to recover the amounts thus
paid, Barnard, without jury, gave iudg-
ment for the defendant.
The case is thus recited in the opinion of
the court, in rendering the decision of the
majority:
The complaint set out in substance that
in 1868 several suits were brought against
the Erie railway company for matters al
legged to be frauds on the company and its
stockholders that Mr. Vanderbilt was NOT
nominally party to those suits and denied
any interest in them that the complaint
in the present suit alleges the settlement of
those suits and payment of money by the
company to Mr.. Vanderbilt, by which the
company was defrauded, and that the COM
plant offered to rescind all such contracts.
and asked that the money and securities be
returned to the company. The answer
substantially denies the connection of Mr..
Vanderbilt with the suits or his interest in
any of them or the compromises or pay
ments, The substance or fact of the allie
CATION and denial is that the railway COM
pany contends, and Mr.. Vanderbilt denies,

tain defauliing officers to the company,
was settled by Mr.. Vanderbilt and his
friends by not taking the money from the
alleged defaulters. but settling with them
by taking more money out of the company,
the latter to settle stock speculations in
which said officers had obtained an advan-
tage over MIR. Vanderbilt and his friends
The present decision overthrowing Bar
nard is backed by two judges against one.
The opinion was delivered by Judge Dono-
nue.. The opinion declares that it was be.
fore the courts of the country to show
whether the judicial tribunals of the
United States would set the seal of APPROX
i on the principle that the directors of a
having perpetratcd fraud, may

BENNINGTON.


A young chap by the name of Leonard.
who is better known as "Bub" was out on
bender Saturday, and made himself gener-
ally disagreeable, and also laid himself IL.
able to arrest. During his travels he stepp-
ed into l'atchlns shoe store,on Main street,
TO purchase pair of boots. At the time
there was no one in the store but an old
man by the name of Rodgers. Some diff.
Guilty arose in relation to the order which
Leonard had in his possession, ut which
point Leonard picked up boot that was
lying near him and struck Mr.. Rodgers
three blows with it, one in the arm, and
two on the head he then made himself
scarce. Mr.. Rodgers is about 70 years of
age, and he was quite severely shocked bv
the blows on the head and will take proper
measures to see that he is punished for il.
Andrew Femmng, while returning from
the mountain, after days berrying, was
greatly surprised to see In the road in front
OF him, large black bear. He was seen
near the spot called the "Elbow." After
looking around and seeing the powerful
blacksmith near him, Bruin started off into
the woods at q rapid rate. We will nm
doubleday hear of his capture in a few
days.
There were no services at the Methodist
church Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Slocum being

MISS ADELAIDE PHILLlPPS.-Ths dlstln-
guished priml donna will make her appear
ance before Richmond audience in Italian
opera. at Assembly Hall, tomorrow night, in
the play of the Barber Of Seville. A New
York exchange says Of her: To say that
Adelaide Phillips is the finest contralto IN
America is to say nothing, for the reason that
on this side Of the Atlantic there are 10 COM
petitors for her laurels. To say that Europe
does not possess her equal is to state fact"
"Mss Adelaide Phillips, as the star, sang
the intensely interesting role of RosIna with
neyer-faling grace and sweetest notes. AS
an actress she is perfect, and carried the
audience by storm, especially in her light
moods, as RoSina in her great character.
During the music-leSson scene, in the third
act, she sang Bendelari's Laughing Song
in English, and was so warmly applauded
that she responded With, And the Years
Glide By'-a gem. During the singing Of
this the audience was silentas the graye-the
sweet notes, low and tremulous, sank to the
heart, of every listener-and she finished
amid storm of applause such as was never
before heard in the ball. She had hit her
audience off to q soul; which singing was
irresistible, and was never surpassed in this
city. TO laundering encore she sang, in
the most good-humored manner, and with
charming naiuete, flirting the while with the
distinguished Count (her lover) at the piano,
the ballad Comm Thro' the Rye and mar
rowly escaped third encore. In the 'Zitti,
Zittie'! trio with Tom Karl and Orlandina,
she sustained her part as well as everything
she did, said, sung, or acted"
Doubtless Miss Phillips will receive
warm welcome from our play.goers.

good humor and sound advice to the younger

NOTICES TO TAXPAYERS.
CITY TAXES
DELINQUENT FOR 1874.

CITY COLLECTORS OFFICE,l
..5 RICHMOND, VA, January B., 1879. ) :
The City Collector calls attention TO the follow
ing extracts from the city ordinance concerning
the collection of the assessed taxes:
"If all taxes with which any person or any estate
of decedent is assessed be not paid before the
day of September the Collector shall distrain."
Amy goods or chattels in the city belonging to
the person or estate assessed with taxes may be dis
trained therefor"
"The goods and chattels Of the tenant or o'her
person in possession, claiming under the party or
estate assessed with taxes on land, may be dis
trained If found on the premises" .-..
"And If the Collector shall return any real es tate
as delinquent when he had either found, or by
using due diligence might have found, sufficient
property within the city liable to distress for the
taxes for which such real estate Is returned dellil
ouent, he shall forfeit to the city sum equal to ye
times the amount Of the said taxes" :.
The Collector most respectfully would urge o.,
the delinquent taxpayers for 1874 the necessity
of prompt compliance by payment Of their In
debtedness, and thereby relieve him Of the unplea'
SAINT duty of levying, which will be made unless

TEE BuMpTY DUNPTY TRouPE.-Already
many of the desirable seats in the Theatre
have been secured for the performances OF
Mr.. George L.. Fox, "the acknowledged
hero of the stage of Momus," and, judging
from what is said OF the Humpty Dumpty
TrouDe elsewhere, Mr.. Fox will have quite
an ovation in this city. Hear what Mobile
paper says of one of the performances in that
city:
mot even Old Probs and his buckets, not
svials of wrath could keep the people out
of the Theatre last night to see that facile
Prince of Pantomime George L. Fox. If
any lingering doubt existed in the minds of
that very large crowd as to this being the
great original, then it was dispelled by his
very first entrance: and the minute, he
showed the audience his face, the reception
he got showed that all clouds OF doubt had
vanished before that Son of New York.
From that ridiculous opening to the
end of the 'Humpty Dumpty at Home
one series Of rounds from every part
of the house, up and down, made up
such applause as is rarely heard anywhere
And the great beauty of this pantomlme-
and OF Fox's acting in it's the perfect deli.
cacy and propriety from beginning to end.
1t is piece of roaring, rollicking, lndescrl'
bable fun, that would exercise any blue
devils and make the poorest man seem rlch
for the hour; and it is withal such fun as
the purest-minded woman may see IN all
propriety, and take her children to see.
"Tbis cleanliness of acting is one OF the
great secrets of George Fox's unequsIled
success everywhere; and it was This security
of the ladies that filled bis house wild tne
fashion ard wealth of New Orleans. Truly
this is most excellent foolDg'; standIng g,
as It does, unrivalled in innocent yet utterly
irresistible absurdity."
Reserved seats may be had at Johnston's
news deIo:, Main street.
