Had to Come.

Last evening, according to the police, Mr..
Jack Malloy was walking on Congress street,
near DIR. Tolford's, and was somewhat intoxi-
Gated at the time. A citizen, coming from the
opposite direction, was assaulted by Malloy but
evaded the blow by lodging Officers Melon
ough and Barbour were ON the other side of
the street, saw the occurrence, and McDon-
ough proceeded to arrest Malloy. The latter
resisted the officer and struck him several
blows over the head with stick he carried.

The Newburyport Herald tells this story of q
Portland minister. While Rev. b. e. Clark
of Portland was preaching at the Centre
street church in Haverhill last Sunday, seven
gentlemen who were strangers entered and
took prominent seats. The eye of the minister
was attracted to them, as collectively they
were of something of more than ordinary
bearing, but nothing was known OF them and
the sermon went on as it had begun. The
sequel OF the incident became known later.
The mysterious seven were a party. from Phil
lips Congregational church, Boston, to the
pastorate of which Mr.. Clark has recently
been called Although the preacher was not
conscious of the fact, they we're evidently
taking the measure of their probable future
pastor.

Considerable Action of the Messrs. sprIn

The following circular has been sent to the
creditors of the firm of F. Shaw s. Bros Of
Boston:
We have been constrained by circumstances
to suspend, and have assigned our property for
the benefit OF our creditors, without prefer
ence or priority, to Ferdinand A Wyman, No
26S Purchase street, Boston, Mass, who, we
believe, will faithfully administer it. He
knows our assets and affairs better than any
one else, but by the terms OF the assignment
you can appoint an additional assignee. II
you wish to avail yourself OF this assignment
(Which does not oblige you to discharge us
from liability you should sign the enclosed
paper and transmit ii to said Wyman, at the
above address, The property being scattered
through several states and provinces, we should
regard your failure to sustain the assignment
py all proper means as q great mistake, and
one likely to result unfortunately for your in
terests. We enclose full copy of the assign
ment' We shall call you together and give
you statement as soon as possible, Dut as IL
Will take several days longer, our affairs being

F. SHAW & Bros
The notice which appeared yesterday to the
attached $780, 900 worth OF Shaw's property in
Maine has been widely commented on in Bos-
ton. A reporter called on Mr.. G. W, Moore.
the counsel of #. Shaw & Brothers, for furth-
er information In regard to the matter.
Mr.. Morse said: Eyes. sir; it is true. Messrs
A. q s. e. Spring of Portland have attached
the property of f. Shaw s. Brothers in Maine
for 100000. Mr.. Shaw has also mortgaged
his personal property in Maine to these gentle
mea to the amount of 100000 rnore'
lis not this action likely to result unfavora-
bly, to other creditors?"
son the contrary, Messrs. A. & S. e. Spring
have given back an agreement under seal that
the mortgage and attachment shall inure to
all creditors equally in any event."
What was the reason Of the action?"
1T was done to meet the possible contingent
cy that the courts of Maine would decide that
local creditors have priority over foreign as
Segment, although the opinions Of the lead i
ing lawyers is TO the contrary, as the courts in
other great mercantile states have decided that
the attachment will hold"
Mr.. Morse also added .s"Mr. Shaw is much
gratified at the generous and considerable ac-
tion of Messrs. Spring, who, by their prompt
cooperation, secured the other creditors against
the danger of litigation and loss on the Maine
properties"
An attempt has been made by the assignees
of f. Shaw 81 Brothers to have the creditors re-
lease their attachment on bark enough to keep
the tanneries running for the present The
creditors however remain firm and resist all
applications to grant release. Arrangements
have been made, it Is Understood, whereby the
assignee will probably be able to continue the
tanneries in operation without the surrender of
any bark legally attached.

THE DRAWBACK TELEPHONE.
Formation of New England Company.

Formation of New England Company.
The most important telephone suit before
the United States courts is the so-called
'Drawbaugh case,' which have been nearly
three years IN progress, 10 which nearly 1900
pages OF printed testimony has been taken,
and several hundred thousand dollars paid to
some of the ablest lawyers and experts in the
country. Daniel Drawbaugh of Pennsylvania,
the contestant, claims to have been the original
inventor Of the telephone The progress of
the case has resulted this week in the forma-
tion of powerful syndicate in New York,
which has Incorporated the Draw baugh Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company of New York,
which is the parent company, controlling the
rights under the Drawbaugh system of tele-
phony, the exclusive territory of the New
England States, aud has capitalized at the
sum of S5,000000. This company has been
recently organized with the following board of
representative citizens who have made a study
of the subject and have decided confidence ia
the result OF the famous Drawbaugh suits In
New York: Hon. Frank Jones, of New Hamp-
shire; Ex-Governor Abner Coburn, Skowhegan,
Me-; Colonel Darius Alden, Augusta, Me-;
Payson Tucker, Portland, Me-, general man

r. Bodwell, Halowell, Me-; Ex-Governor

Haven railroad; Marcus Marx, New York.
The telephone companies now doing business
in the United States, under grants from the
Bell Telephone Company, have an aggregate
capitalization OF nearly 100000, 900, which is
about the aggregate capitalization of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The telephone
business is growing so rapidly thar il is claimed
by those conversant with the business that
when the country is fully supplied with instru-
ments, which are now being put in at the rate
of several thousand month. this business
will earn dividends on a capitalization of $780,
100000. The monopoly Of this business de-
ponds on certain patents, now in litigation,
and the value of the stocks of the telephone
companies, now doing business under the
licenses of the Bell Telephone Company, is
wholly dependent on the success OF certain
suits now before the courts. II the Bell Com
pany are defeated, their business is over, and
their plant at the mercy of the victor, because
an injunction would prevent the use of exis,-
ing telephone instruments. II the Bell Com
pany are victors, the business will be conducted
under their patents for ten years longer, which
is the life of the original Bell patents.
