TILE COURTS.
THE FIDELITY BANK.


George A. Shufeldt yesterday filed peti.
ton in the Fidelity Savings Bank case, set
ting out that he is a stockholler in the bank
to the amount of $500. The bill to wind up
the banks affairs was filed September, 1877,
and il was alleged therein that the bank was
insolyent, that its officers were wasting its
funds and misu>anaglng its affairs, and that
an injunction should be granted, and Re-
ceiver appointed to wind up its affairs. No
one was made defendant except the bank, rs
Mr.. Shufe1dt claims, nor were any facts
stated which warranted the summary inter-
position OF a court, or authorized the latter
to wind up its affairs. The bank filed no
answer, nor did it attempt to make
any defense. On the 9th of September
some officer Of the bank, without the consent
Of tie the stoekholdsrs, caused the ,appearance;
the next day Y. 4. Turpin was appointed Re
ceiyer. No adjudication Of insolvency has
ever been made, nor any final hearing or de
cree made. 1t is claimed that the Stock
holders are liable for the debts Of the bank
to an amount equal to the amount Of stock
held by each one; but Shufeldt claims that
the original bill does not state any facts nor
make any case which gives court jurisdic-
ton over the subject matter, or power to
gEant an an 1unstion aPpqnSt Reeeyer or
insolverlt in September, 1877, nor were its
officers mlslnanaging or misappIying its
assets. Tie. filing Of the. bill and the ap-
pointment Of a Receiver, it is further alleged,
were the result Of q! col1usion between the
complainants and the officials Of the bank,
and was highly prejudicial to the rights. OF
the shareholders, and void for want OF iuris-
tliction. Shufeldt therefore asks that he may

CHICAGO, June 19.-Passengers from
Minnesota and that region, reaching this
city to-day, report the whole country from
winnepeg, on Red River OF the North,
south as far as Fargo, and sll the country
from St. Paul, Mimi, to La Crosse, Wis,
literally submerged, and has been for over
week. Rains were almost continuous
during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
OF last week, and were renewed on Mon
day Of this week, when the water came
down in u perfect food all day long. The
amount OF damage done Is beyond oompu-
talon. Railroads have been very seriously
interfered with by submerged tracks, wash
outs and loss Of bridges. Yesterday the
food was at standstill, and there was
signs OF It's subsistence. At La Crosse, the
railroad trains could not get within half q
mile OF the depots. Much OF the country
is literally covered with the waters Of
oveiaOwed streams. Persons reaching
Winnepeg several days ago report that for
hundreds Of miles the British Northwest
Territory is flooded. One trader from two
hundred miles northwest OF Winnepeg
was iorty.eight days coming by private
conveyances, wading through floods most
Of the distance.
CHICAGO, June l9,-The first through
train from St. Paul on the O. N! & ST.
Paul railroad TO reach this city for over
two days, arrived this morning at eleven
O'Clock, four hours late. 1t is very conf.

further serious railroad detentions. The

New YoRk, June l9.-Events of the
week in financial circles were important,
chiefly in connection with the course oi
prices-the prices on the Stock Exchange.
The money market was characterized by
great ease, and borrowers supplied their
requirements at A to 2 per cent. The for.
eign Exchanges were weak, and rates
were reduced to 81 S6l Al So. Government
bonds were fraction lower for the fours
early in the week, but at the close the
market was frmer. The railway and
miscellaneous speculation was strong at
the opening, with an advance in prices OF
to 4 per cent, the Elevated railroad
shares leading the upward movement.
subsequently prices declined Jas! per
cent, the greStest weakness being in the
coal shares and some OF the Trunk Line
shares. The former were unfavorably
affected by rumors that the floating debt
OF the Philadelphia and Reading company
was much lower than had been reported,
and that a statement was on the point OF
being made by the receivers. The
decline In the Trunk Line shares was due
to rumors that some OF the roads were cut
ting under the schedule rates. The repre-
sertatives Of the company held a meeting
at Chicago, and the matters about which
q disagreement had existed were referred
to Board OF Arbitration. This had q
favorable effect on the stock market, and
when 1t was telegraphed from Philadel-
phia that the Reading statement would
not be issued for six weeks to come, gen.
eral improvement in prices took place.
Toward the close speculation was espec-
tally strong, and there was an advance Of
Last per cent from the lowest point.

PARIS, June 1s.-Gambetta, at a meet.
ing Of Senators and Deputies to discuss
the amnesty question, said: "In the prov.
inces, as in Paris, public opinion has &C.
cepted amnesty as necessary. The Con-
seryative and Republican papers OF Paris
are almost all pronounced for amnesty.
Republican organs In the provinces also
unanimously favor II. Four thousand am.
nestled persons are now in Paris. Why
shrink from amnestying few prisoners?
The Government would be sure OF 800 ad.
herents In the Chamber OF Deputies. In
this State Of things 1t would be incompre.
hensible Tor the Senate to impede the
measure"
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day,
Premier De Freycinet introduced bill
for plenary amnesty to sll political offend.
ers.
The preamble Of the bill says: 'In the
presence Of tranquility reigning In Paris,
the recent triumph OF legality at Lyons,
and the approaching National fee, plenary
amnesty can be proclaimed without dan.
GER" Also, "The Ministry appeals to your
clemency, not to your justice"
Amnesty is to be accorded TO all persons
convicted Of political offensss or crimes
IN 1870 and 1871, and 10 political and press
Offenders from that time until the present
date. The preamble was cheered.
