The Post Office Tag Business.
WHAT MR EAyuIN .IIPcuc


Some months ago Mr.. George II. Fayman, @
local mail agent, residing in this city, invented
a simple device for fastening mail pouches, and
after securing a patent he made an effort to
have the Post Office department adopt it. In
this he was not successful, although its advan-
tages to the service were conceded by the con-
mission who examined 1t, and he offered 1t for
very small royalty. In his attempt to secure
its adoption two clerks-Messrs James and
Lapgley-had been assisting him, but had not
81 eded. James finally approached Fayman
& represented that 1t was Important, in order
te ave the fastener adopted, that it should be
transferred to him. Acting On these represen.
tations Mr.. Fayman, for nominal conside-
ration. assigned his letters patent to
James: on the same day. without consulta-
t10n With Fayman, James, 1t Is alleged, treated
the assignment from Fayman to himself as ab-
solute. and as conveying all Faymln's rights to
himself. authorized Geo. A. Sheridan to man
ufacture and use the fasteners. The circum-
stance OF this license to Sheridan and the as
sfgDment of the patent to James being OF the
same date, 1t IS alleged shows that there was
an understanding between Sheridan and James,
and that they entered into a conspiracy or COM
bination to beat Fayman out of his rights
under the patent. Sheridan having obtained
the license to manufacture the fastener, at
once secured contract at price much larger
than the government could have secured by
paying roy atty and manufacturing them, and
1t is claimed that under this contract several
hundred thousand have been manufactured.
Mr. Fayman, some weeks since retained Mr..
W. A. Cook as his counsel, and bill In equity
was drawn asking for an Injunction to restrain
the manufacture OF the bag fastener, for an ac-
count, and that the assignment BE- de-
clared void. but it has not been filed. II IS un-
derstOod that the facts in this case were made
known to Postmaster General James and the
President some weeks ago and before. the In
vestgatiDg commission was appointed. THIS
morning Col Cook wrote TO Mr.. Fayman, who
Is quite Ill and unable TO be interviewed, as {;
the case, that he does not deem 1t wise In view
OF the contemplated suit for him to make an,
statement except to his attornesy. "for such
statements may be misrepresented as well as
misunderstood. and thus fnjure your case'
This is the case in which Gen. George A. Sneri-
dan asked for an Investigation by the Post
Office denartmant

COlliery Strikes.
LONDON. April 2S.-The stoppage of the whole

quence OF the complication at the new Seaham
colllery proceeding from the late STRIKE The
men wish to throw aside the understanding
that certain number of colliers, who promi.
nently participated in the late strike should
leave at the expiration of four weeks The
feeling shown Is to call out on strike the whole
OF the GOLFERS OF Lord Londonderry. 1t Is be-
1eved that such a course would be followed by
the masters closing ali the pits In the county of
Durham. The decision OF the colliers Is ex-
pected to. day.
