SUING THE POST1MAsTER.

Postmaster Day Sued on Patentee's Claim
of Right in the Postoficc Boxes Fur
nished by the Government.
A suit in equity was commenced in the
United States circuit court yesterday by
the Yale Manufacturing company against
Postmaster Dr. Day, the subject in litiga-
ton being the right Of the United States
as represented by the latter to the metallic
postoflce boxes at present in use at the
postofice.
In substance the complaint alleges and
deposes as follows: That in 1871 Linus
Yale, Jr.. invented certain improve
ment on postoffice boxes, which he had
patented, and by virtue of which he had
the exclusive right and lib
erty to manufacture and SELL
That said invention is Of great utility and
that by the WI rongful use and appropria-
ten Of the same the defendants have
made large gains, profits and advantages.
The invention is described as series Of
metallic door frames with metallic 'front.'
age, partitioned into pigeon holes as re-
ceptacles for letters. The public are per.
fectly familiar with the boxes as used at
the postoffice. 1t is asked that defend
ant be made to account for and pay over
the profits and gains acquired by the use
of the boxes, and that he be enjoiHed and
restrained from their further use.
Asa.matter Of fact, DR.. Day has had
nothing to do with the boxes other than
that he has been their custodian since his
entrance to. Office.
The boxes were put in the Office at the
time the building was erected, and he
has merely acted as the agent of the gov.
ernment. He Is made defendant simply
because the United States is not a party
that can be sued.

No Certain Clue to His Disappearance and

The mystery surrounding the sudden
disappearance of Mr.. Chas. Vitalis, of
Franconia, particulars of which appeared
in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE, is as
profound as ever.
He suddenly disappeared from this city
last Thursday night, since when his FAM
lily OF friends have been unable to learn
anything of his whereabouts He came
down from Franconia week ago yester-
day to arrange for an important lawsuit,
involving nearly $4,000, which was to
have come up last Saturday. His family
reside at Franconia and he was man Of
extensive business affairs, and was uni
yersally liked.
He was also man Of temperate habits,
and was in the habit of retiring early in
the evening. He was last seen on Thurs
evening, about 8 o'clock, when he ap-
peared in usual health and spirits. In
view of the important interests at stake,
it is not probable that he would absent
himself without informing, at least his
wife or family, and foul play is strongly
limited at. Mr.. John Seeger states that
he saw man who looked like Vitalis,
passing along Eagle street in the direc-
ton of the river, early Friday morning.
He is supposed to have had considera-
BILE sum of money on his person.

fall has been unfavorable for saving and

ditIoned The demand for home grain
was almost stagnant in consequence of
the bad condition of samples, which buy
ers reject Flour was in freer supply, but
slow Of sale, at rates in favor
of buyers. Foreign flour weaker toward
the close, buyers having supplied their
wants when rates became easy. Spot
trade purely consumptive. The Ameri-
can attempt to raise rates met with no re-
sponse here and the season is too far ad-
vanced for speculation to influence the
markets. Off coast trade is well supplied
The continental demand slackened up,
and forward positions slow and weaker.
Foreign flour in good supply but also dull
at nominally unchanged rates
Barley dull except for the finest. Foreign
barley also dull, In oats the ad-
vance is maintained and provincial rates
are well supported. The demand at the
close, however, was restricted There
were no foreign arrivals of maize, which
is IN small supply, prices hardened and
demand unimproved. Round corn un-
