The Case Of Alleged over-Drivine

The officers of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, after careful investi-
cation, have completely exonerated Mr.. Co.
burn from the charge of over-driving, OR inten-
tional cruelty The report stands as follows:
AT a hearing before the officers of the Anti
Cruelty Society in relation to the case of alleg-
ed over-driving by Chas. S. Coburn, they find
that the horse died from some cause to them
unknown. The horse was driven about 26
miles in II hours, including rests. This can
not be considered over-drving. The officers
are OF the opinion that the horse was not prop
erly cared for while resting, but this was
owing to inexperience or thoughtlessness, and
Mr.. Coburn was not guilty of any intentional
cruelty; but they are of the opinion that he
ought to be censured for contemplating such a
drive, with such load, on such day; and
that stable keeper who lets a horse for such a
drive on such day is also deserving of CEN
sure.

Heavy Thunder Shower

The thunder shower this morning was the
heaviest of the season. 1t began at about 1
o'clock and for over an hour the lightning was
very vivid and constant. Considerable rain
fell and for a short time the wind blew gale.
One clap of thunder was extremely sharp and
loud, indicating that the lightning had struck
somewhere in the city or immediate vicinity,
where could not be ascertained. 1t is very sell
dom that the clouds are SO charged with cleo
tricity as they were during this storm.

A Notable Law Case.

Yesterday in the Law Court was argued a
case remarkable quite as much for the emin-
ent counsel present as for the great interests
involved. The title of the case is ''Zachariah
Chaftee, complainant in equity, against the
Fourth National Bank of New York and
others" and the amount involved is about a
million dollars. Chaffee, as assignee of the
Sprague Manufacturing Company, brought in
bill in equity to restrain the defendants, who
are creditors of the Sprague Company, from
extending their executions upon real estate in
Augusta belonging to the Sprague Company
and claimed to be transferred by their assign
ments. The respondents claim that the as
signments are imperative as to that property
VIM L. Putnam appeared for complainant;
Ex-Secretary Bristow, Waldo Hutchins, Judge
c. A. Peabody of New York and Gen. J D.
Fessenden for respondents.
Ex-Secretary Bristow was the leading figure
i'll the case, and his presence probably called
more visitors to the court room than any in
terest in the case During the afternoon ses-
sion he sat in the court room listening to the
opening arguments. The late Secretary's fig
ure is portly and rather above medium height
His head is large and well shaped brow of fair
height and little retreating, face of massive
build and rather unimpassioned in repose. His
eyes are of a bluish-gray color, and his nose is
prominent feature. He wears close-trimmed
gray chin whiskers and moustache. His hair
brown and slightly tinged with gray, is quite
thin on the crown. Dressed in an unassuming
suit of black, he looked like prosperous, we'll
living citizen. He is pleasant and forcible
speaker, and his argument yesterday was high
ly praised by the legal gentlemen who followed
it for its cogent reasoning and deep research in
the case.
Messrs. Putnam, Hutchins and Fessenden
submitted arguments, and Judge Peabody will
submit brief.
Mr. Bristow is the counsel for the Fourth
National Bank, and the other counsel appear
for different corporations, against whom Mr..
Chaffee has brought similar suits. The claims
OF the attaching creditors aggregate about
5000 600

Secretary Sherman will arrive today on the
