HEAVY LAWSUIT,
Involving $4,000, Concluded I'm the
Referee Court.
The Liability of Public Administrators
Anderson Involved.

An important suit, which has been
argued in the Referee Court for several
days past, was. concluded yesterday and a
decision will be fetiderha OF Saturdav next.
The style of the suit is Thomas 4. Cow
ington ct. al, rs. James A. Anderson and his
securities, III. L. Garth, the German Ma
tional Bank and the Chemical Bank, of
New York. Suit was brought to recover
$4,000 in United States bonds with pre-
rtiums and interest and Sl47O In the
hands of Anderson, administrator.
The bill claims that the SIS 1000 in bonds
were wgongfully Iscld to parties in New
York through Tie connivance, aid and
management of II. f. Garth and the Ger
man National Bank of Memphis, and the
Chemical Bank of New York; that the
bonds on their face were made payable to
NJ. +. Cochran, executor, who was so
named in the will of II, p. Woodward, de-
ceased that Cochran, in about three years
after he took tpon Himself the sdministra-
ton, bought these bonds as an investment
under the will, for Mrs. Covington and her
unborn child that Anderson indorsed the
bonds in blank. =
The bill charles that the persons NAMED
had notice, or might have learned, that
these bonds were trust fund for Mrs
Covington and child, on which the
interest had been regularly paid by Coch-
ran prior to his death; that said parties
were wrongdoers, and because of their
intermeddling with such trust fund were
liable for the amount .6f the bonds; pre-
MUM and interest. Complainant at the
same time aims TO hold the securities of J
A. Anderson for .Sl470 il money, which
was in Cochran's hands, belonging to
Woodward's estate at the time of his death.
Woodward died in 1869, having made a
will.
The defense claims that the bonds pur-
chased were not of the kind ordered in
the will of the deceased, and that they
were thus released. Judge Flippin, for
the complainants, argued that the pur-
chase had been ratified by subsequent
action.
TIE siit Involves the whole question OF
Anderson's liability His bondsmen claim
they are not liable, because in the first
place there was a will, and in the second
place tie papers OF administration were
taken out by him before the expiration Of
six months.
William S. Flippin represented the com
plainants, Archibald Wright and r. J
Morgan the sureties, and Clapp & Beard
the banks and Garth.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Number of workmen Injured, Several
Fatally

"
PirTsBURG, December lS.-Two boilers
in ID. IL. Reghard's oil refinery, at Fifty
first street, on the line of the Allegheny
Valley railroad, exploded at noon with ter
rifle force, scattering debriSin all directions
and injuring a number OF workmen. Two
of them, named Raup and Fisher, are be-
lieved to be fatally hurt. The others are
still lying in the boilerhouse, and the ex-
tent of their injuries not known.
Ldief-Further intelligence from the ex-
plosion states that six men were injured,
two of them seriously. The boilerhouse
was demolished, and a portion of one boiler
carried over 100 yards. Samuel Hender-
son and West Raup were very seriously
injured, aud may probably die. The cause
of the explosion has not been ascertained.
The ex plosion resulted in the severe in
jury of six persons, three of whom may
die. Three were sitting in the shed with
their backs against the boilers, two were
at the door and one was some distance
away. Without warning the terrific eX-
plosion occurred. The conclusion was
great and was followed by the noise of the
escaping steam. The boilerhouse, brick
and frame structure, was completely de-
molished, and hot ashes, flying bricks and
fragments OF iron were scattered in all di-
rections The remains of the shed were
ignited, and the fire companies summoned
to the scene. The fire was soon extin-
guished and attention was paid to the
work of eXtricating the injured. Their
names are: John Lee, engineer and fire
man, scalded seriously and cut about the
head, believed he inhaled steam,
injuries supposed to be fatal; Wes-
ley Roup, machiniSt, badly scalded,
and injured internally, perhaps fatal; VIM.
Fisher, electrician, head cut in several
places, severely bruised, and inhaled
steam; recovery doubtful; Samuel Hen
derson, boilermaker, head cut and badly
bruised; John Roup, boy, burned about
the face and neck and cut in several
places by flying bricks; Emil Schmidt,
foreman, nose crushed, head cut, not seri-
Gus. There is difference of opinion as to
the cause of the the explosion. The boil
ers, in good condition, were allowed TO
carry sixty-five pounds of steam; the
the gauge registered sixty-iive pounds.
shortly before the explosion. Pieces of
iron recovered are burned. This leads q
majority of the experts to believe that the
explosion was caused by low water. Loss,

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-The Com

day and determined to recommend that
two committees be made out of the old
Education and Labor Committee, to CON
slider the two subjects separately, one to
be called the Committee on Education and
the other the Committee on Labor; it was
also decided to recommend the creation OF
Committee on Rivers and Harbors. The
question of submitting the improvement
of the Mississippi river to the River and
Harbor Committee was discussed. The
decision of the matter was left to the
House. 1t was determined to recommend
the retention of all the select committe es
of the last House, except such as related
to personal subjects. The Census Com

BfENINeHAM, December 1S.-Old rail-

freight cars, with their contents, and the
engine, are piled along the side of the

Nose Robinson, colored, was scalded and
so badly injured about the head that he
lies at the point of death. Once to-
night he was reported dead by train
men. John House, the brakeman, had
his leg fractured, and received severe
bruises. He was brought home to this

DO Justice 10 the Beast.


In the APPEAL of Saturday morning,
noticing the account of the Emma Bond case,
headed in large headlines, BRUTAL Outrage re-
minded me that we constantly see in the papers
notices of mems vilainous crimes-assaults on
females, rapes, etc.-headed in prominent head :
lines "A Beastly Crime, "A Brutal Outrage.
Is not this injustice to the beast? Who heard
of beast committing a rape, or making such an
attempt? Never. 1t would be contrary TO his
nature. brute would seorn such an action.
When some man has filed himself with whisky,
he is said to be ''beastly drunk No beast ever
got drunk of his own accord. lie has better sense
and when man, to make sport for h imself, makes
one of his dOmesticated beasts drunk once he can
never do it again. Calling man n dog is held to
be ono of the most opprObious epithets in any
language. Should it not be properly title
of honor? for how few are the men who equal the
dog in the virtues most valued? He is
sober, temperate, brave, honest, forever grateful
for kindness, faithful. All, how faithful! His
honest heart is still his masters own. He labOrs,
fights, Lives, breathes for him alone. OF how
few men can the same or the half of 1T be said.
No beast ever laid complicated plans to apprO-
pirate to himself the labor of his fellow beasts.
No beast ever destroys wantonly. If carniver-
Gus, he slays to satisfy his hunger and no more.
Man slays hetacombs wantOnly for his Gmuse-
ment. Let do justice to the beasts and no
longer degrade theI. by comparing mans villain.
Gus crimes to the habits of beasts. If man would
take lessons from and initiate them in many
things, virtue, truth, honesty and gratitude
would be something moro than names and would
be occasionally practiced- Yours truly,

TIKI Chicago Inter Ocean notes, with evil
dent pleasure, that although hundreds of
women hold positions of financial trust in
the country, it has yet to hear of one Of
them being guilty Of embezzlement or de-
falcation. The evidence clearly sustains
the position of those who believe that
women are qualified morally, physically
and intellectually for the handling of
money in stores or in banks. Gen. Spin
ner, who first introduced women into the
United States Treasury as clerks and ac-
countants, left on record a striking testi-
monial to the efficiency and integrity OF
the sex, and no one ever had better OPP
portunity to study the question than he,
who at one time had 1000 women under
his direction, engaged chiefly in handling
money. But this is easily accounted for.
Women do not gamble, they do not keep
fast horses, they are not drunkards, do not
support or keep fast companions and they
are conscientious, and therefore have
earnest convictions Of duty.
