The Boston M an Don't Understand 1t.

We clip the following from the Boston
Daily Advertiser of the 18th inst, in regard
to the wool market:
The sales this week were about the same as
for the corresponding week last year. There
was no sale of fall California this week, and
only one transaction in Texas wool reported.
There is nothing of importance from the
different clips. Buyers are operating with
caution in most places, but this is not always
so. To show how recklessly buyer may OPP
era,e we reprint the following from the EVEN
ING LIGHT of San Antonio, Texas:
Colonel John Owens writes the Light from
New York, under date of April %, that he
will return home in few days, and will GER
tainly be in the market within the next ten
days, prepared to pay the highest prices for
wool as he has contracted large orders direct
from manufactures. His orders are much
larger than last season, and desires us to SO
inform the wool growers"
Now. here is buyer, if the above report is
correct, in point of fact inviting the wool grow
ers to put up their prices since he has plenty
of orders, larger than least season. Usually
buyers want to buy at the lowest prices, blu,
here is genius who is ''prepared to pay the
highest prices fer WOOL" 1t is no wonder
that if such are the practices of the agents oil
manufacturers, prices advance in the country
higher than the best city market will war,
rant"
Now, the Boston man don't seem to be
posted that to advertise that the ''highes
prices" will be paid, is only an assurance tina
the wool grower need not 60 to Boston to ge
his money on his wool. Wool growers ar,
well posted and know Just what is meant BY
"the highest prices" if the Boston man don't

From DR.. Menger In Regard to the Desti-
tute Family.
Editor EVENING LIGHT:
Allow me to give few correct statements
concerning the Cleghorn family, which the
Times and Express seem to have exaggerated
The family lives on South Laredo street, near
ly outside of the city limits. I responded to
the first call when information was brought me
by Mr.. Cleghorn, but l was not able to find
the house, and the second day did find it
and paid as much attention to the sick woman
as her condition then demanded. She was
about dying, caused from disability and
anaemia after chronic diarrhCea and premature
delivery. She received at once such treatment
and such instructions as were necessary, and
l explicitly told Mr.. Cleghorn that no other
treatment would be required for the present
The fact about the family is, they should
have applied sooner for assistance and treat
ment. Had heard about the destitution and
sickness of the woman before, they would
have been assisted by the city, as are many
others who are assisted daily and are in no
less distress. But the fact is, they were in a
destitute condition for a length of time and
were attended by other parties instead of call
ing on the proper authority. / gave them an
order on the mayor for provisions, and it was
not gotten until the second day.
There is no truth in the report in the news
papers that some of her children were sick
and in dying condition; no one else is sick
but the woman, from causes above mentioned,
but the children look debilitated. The child
that died, one year old, had been sickly six
months from marasmus, caused by tubercu
losis, of which the entire family seems to have
disposition. Respectfully, K. MENGER.

trial Of Joseph Henderson for the Muir.
der of Wellington Mcdaniel.

SKowHEGAN, Dec %.
The trial of Joseph Henderson, for murder,
commenced this morning before Judge Bar
rows. The testimony. offered by the govern
ment showed that Henderson went to the
house of one Moore at Moose River, Sunday,
Sept. 2ith, and made an assault on Yelling
ton Mcdaniel, deceased, infiicting wounds
from which he subsequently died. 1t was
claimed in the defence that the assault was
unintentional with no design to in1ct Injury !;
that no motive or malice had been shown and
that the prisoner could not be held for
murder.
Attorney General Cleaves began the clos
ing argument for the State, this afternoon,
and occupied the attention of the court until
adjournment. He reminded the jury that for
the second time within short period of three
months he had been called to this county to
ask that the laws for protection of life be en-
forced, and while it was an unpleasant task
to ask for the conviction of any citizen of SO
high crime, it would even be done with
greater confidence than in this case. The
Attorney General argued with great force
that the evidence given upon the stand dis
closed the most brutal taking of human life.
and that no excuse was offered except that
given by the respondent, and argued that
the jury see that the laws for the protection
of society are enforced without favor.
Judge Barrows will charge the Jury in the
morning.

In Mexican, Warren, Venango, Butler and

frozen, and larger ones lower than for wears.
People, in many instances, are compelled to
carry water for domestic purposes long dis

DECISION RENDERED
In Suit Brought Against the Western
Union Telegraph Company.

New YORK, Dec %.
In the suit heard yesterday, brought by
VIM. S. Williams, against the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Company, and its directors,
to restrain that Company from paying divi.
dends on S3S, 100000 of its capital stock,
which is also claimed was illegally issued.
Judge Arnoux rendered his decision today in
the Supreme Court, after reviewing the case
The Court dwelt on the fact of the Company
anticipating the date of the payment Of the
dividend. The Court was not advised, and
could not judicially take knowledge. and this
proceeding was in anywise different from the
ordinary course persued by the Company in
anticipating the dividend when it had money
in its treasury to make such payment.
If it should, however, be proven that the
action had been unusual, and had been in
duced by fear of the decision of the court of
the motion, the gentlemen may find that
they have assumed a responsibility greater
than they now contemplate. In deciding this
motion, the court would proceed upon the
presumption that the directors of the Com
pany had acted lawfully.
The Court then reviewed the terms of
agreement between the three Telegraph Com
panies, the arguments of the counsel for both
sides and affidavits submitted. After consid-
ering the case in all its respects, the Court
granted the motion for an injunction against
the payment of the dividend upon the S25-
526, $50 of the capital stock, it being so much
of the shares thereof as was distributed in
the stock dividend in question. and denies
the motion in all respects.
In the suit of Rufus Hatch, against the
Western Union Telegraph Company and 9TH
ers, in which motion was made for re-
newal Of the original injunction obtained
several years ago, Judge Armour rendered
his decision today, granting motion for the
renewal of the injunction against declara-
ton of the dividend upon the sl5.526. 400 of
the stocks.
