Huntington Sued.

New York, 1.-THE suit of David
Ilewan (banker) against Coils P.
Huntington, ct al. was brought
to trial to-day in the Supreme
Court When the Central Pacific
railroad of California was first
started, it was alleged that Hunt.
ington induced PLAINTIFF to purchase
200 shares of the stock of the COM
pany. On April 81, 1870 these
shares were sold to Huntington for
their par value, with interest at the
rat of per cent. from 1867. Stewart
AYERS that Huntington for himself
and three other capitalists in Cali
fornia, agreed if he or they should
pay any more for other stock than
they had paid for his then, they
would make up the difference with
him. Stewart alleges that Hunt
lngton and others did pay even as
high as $500 share for other stock,
aud he claims that he is entitled to
the difference between that price
and S139 per share paid him for, his
stock. The amount Stewart seeks
to recover is $4,000, with interest
from April 81, 1870. Huntington
says he acted alone with Stewart on
his own responsibility; that after
wards Stewart said some other
persons had been paid a large sum
lor. their stock. He denied this,
and said if he did pay any more to
other persons he would also pay the
increased price to Stewart. He de-
clares that no contract or agreement
was entered into, and he paid no
more than $139 per share.

Stone Suicides.

Cleveland, 11.--Mr. Stone had
been suffering six weeks from inso,
monia and Indigestion, growing
steadily worse and more depressed
In spirits, though seldom complain
ing. He often obtained not more
than two hours sleep all night.
Gradually he became possessed of
the conviction that he could not
recover. He did not leave his bed
this morning, having passed a rest
less night. At noon he complained
OF feeling exceedingly distressed,
indescTibably so. He was left
alone about 2 pm. to try and
obtain a little sleep. About
four o'clock his wife went to
ask how he was and he was not
found in his room. She went to the
bath room door, which was locked.
A servant climbed through the
transom and discovered Mr.. Stone
already dead. partly dressed. 1t is
supposed that after bathing, he was
seized with sudden impulse and
fired bullet through his heart with
accurate aim. Death must have
been instantaneous. The report of
the revolver was not heard by any
one. He leaves a widow and two
daughters, one the wife of Col. John
Hay, recently assistant secretary of
state, the ether, the wife Of Samuel
Msther. Col. and Mrs. Hay sailed
yesterday from Liverpool after a
protracted absence abroad. The
others Of the family are at home
