There was a fall in eggs down GeOr-
gia way recently, and this was how it
happened Henry T. Ballard, we'll
known in this vicinity as a dealer in
eggs and poultry, had been gathering
eggs in Georgia, and started toward
Milton, with a pretty good load. As
he neared Milton his wagon Slowed for
some reason or other, and he was
thrown from his seat, and the wagon
upset, the horse freeing himself and
going it alone. By this sudden turn
one hundred and sixteen dozen eggs
were smashed, causing Mr.. Ballard a
loss of forty dollars. On another day,
very soon after this exasperating oc-
currence, an egg buyer from Essex ap-
peared in Georgia and gathered up
what he could. Just as he was ready
to start for home storm came up and
delayed him over night. AS he was
starting away the mex. morning, the
backing of his team frightened anOth-
er team and caused a collision with his
own, which reduced his stock of eggs
some 10 dozen. 1t seems necessary
for such dealers to be eggstremely
careful on Georgia soil ST. 1Albans

a fine copper wire around thirteen of

WESTERN UNION SUITS.
TWO Decisions Against the Company

Two Decisions Against the Company.
New YORK, Dec I'm the suit heard yes
terday, brought by William 8. Williams
against the Western Union Telegraph compa-
ny and its directors to restrain the company
from paying dividends on the S38 900, 600 of It's
capital stock which it is also claimed was ille-
gally issued. Judge Arnoux rendered his de-
eision to-day in the Superior Court at New
York. After reviewing the case the Court
dwelt on the fact Of the company anticipating
the date OF payment of the dividend. The
Court was not advised and could not judicially
take knowledge that this proceeding was in
any wise different from the ordinary course
pursued by the company in anticipating the
dividend when it had money in its treasury to
make such payment. IT it should hereafter
be proven thatthe action had been unusual
and been induced by fear of the decision OF the
Court on this motion, these gentlemen may
lind that they have assumed responsibility
greater than they now contemplate. In de-
Gliding this motion the Court would proceed
upon the presumption that the directors of the
company had acted lawfully.
The Court then reviewed the terms of the
agreement between the three telegraph CON-
panies, the arguments of counsel ON both sides
and the affdavits submitted. After consider
ing the case in all its respects the Court grants
the motion for an injunction against the pay
ment OF any dividend upon the $12, ,526,500 of
the capital stock, being so much of the shares
thereof as was distributed in the stock dividend
in question, and denies the motion in all other
respects.
In the suit of Rufus Hatch, against the wes-
tern Union and Others in which motion was
made for renewal of the original Injunction
obtained several years ago Judge Arnoux
rendered decision to-day, granting the mo-
tion for renewal of the Injunction against
declaration of dividend upod the So, ,526, 800
of stock.

FAIRFIELD, Dec. 27.-An alarm of fire at
l.3o this orning called out the sleepers of the
village to witness the burning of the large
wooden building owned and occupied by tt o
Somerset Fibre Company at the head of the
island. This mill-for tie manufacture of
pulp from wood-has been built within the
past year at an expense of from eighty to one
hundred thousand dollars, and was fitted and
furnished in the most thorough manner. The
fire started in the tower Of the high building
where the wood is carried for steamipg, and in
few moments the entire structure was in
names. One OF the large twenty ton upr,gh+-

named John Pooler was struck by piece of
pipe and SO severely injured that he died with
in an hour. Several others were more or less
injured but none seriously. The saw mill and
boiler room remain and the chimney is unin-
jured. The loss to the company will probably
be from forty to fifty thousand dollars, although
no correct estimate can now he made. There
was, we hear, an ins urance on the property of
forty thousand dollars.
The company consists of Messrs. Heath Of
Watervile, Richards of Gardiner, Brown and
Chisholm of Portland and one or two from out
of the State.
About forty men were at work at the mill
who now, at midwinter, are thrown out of en-
ployment. SETH.
