Bank Stock Attached.

The capital stock of the three St. Johns
bury banks, the First National of Bran
don and the Middlebury National bank
has been attached by United States Mar
shall Henry in the suits brought by Re-
ceiver Hendee of the defunct National
bank of st. Adams to collect the assess
ments made on them as stockholders in
that institution. The suits are made re-
turnable to the October term of the
United States Circuit Court which con-
venes on the sixth day of that month at
Rutland.
The case of the Baxter National bank is
different from the rest from the fact that
b. b. Smalley paid the amount of Barlow s
Indebtedness to it-SlO, OOO-and 1t conse-
quently has no real interest in the stock,
which it was unable to transfer, as has
been hitherto described and 1t is under
stood that test case will be made OF the
Baxter and one of the other banks. 1t is
understood that which ever way the ques-
tion as to the liability of these banks Is de
cided in the Circuit Court the case will be
taken to the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
The point at issue is fine one and
strange to say, no similar case has been
passed upon by the courts. The case ap
peared so strong against them that two OF
the banks concerned, the Vergennes and
BellowsFalls banks, paid their assessments
at once without question but wifi

A sudden Death,

Word was sent to this city, about noon
last Thursday, that IA man had dropped
dead on the beach little this side of the
Proctor place. Upon investigation it was
found that the unfortunate man was
Louis Martin, who resided at 1876 Battery
street. 1t seems that Il party including
the deceased, Richard DAILY, a. l.. Norton,
John Robear and Joseph Perry had gone
down to the beach for the purpose of
having a clam bake and the place selected
was point short distance south of the
old Stearns dock. While the preparations
for the bake were in progress Martin, who
was standing short distance from the
rest, fell suddenly upon his face. One of
the party asked him why he did not get
up and upon receiving no answer they
| hurried to him and found that he had just
breathed his last. DR.. Atwater was sent
| for, who upon his arrival pronounced it q
case of heart disease. Upon learning these
! facts the Mayor gave his consent for the
removal of the body, and it was taken tC
| Mr.. Martins late residence.

these exceptions, the assessments ordered
by the comptroller will be contested by all
the banks so assessed. 1t is seemingly IN
Just to the banks, having lost the
amount of their loans to Barlow, to be held
liable for the amount of bank stock held
by them as collateral for those loans; but
on the other hand it was thought best by
these banks to have the stock of the ST.
Adams bank transferred on the books so
that they became nominally and actually
owners of it. They are therefore stock
holders in the defunct bank; and the de
positors naturally look to the stockhold-
ers us their security. The case is an
important one and is sure to attract wide
attention.

Hon Frederick Billings, VINO is con-
tinually doing handsome things, in the
handsomest possible way, announces in
his Acknowledgement of the resolutions of
thanks for his muniicent gifts of the
Marsh library and the Billings library
building to the University. adopted by the
alumni, his intention to provide for new
catalogue of the entire University library
This is most timely and valuable as
sistance. 1t is now over marty years since
Il catalogue of the University library was
printed The library had more than
doubled in size before the Marsh library
was added, and with that addition the
number of volumes is more than three
times as great as when the catalogue of
1854 was published. The need of new
catalogue has of course been strongly felt
by the college people, but the trustees
have not felt warranted in mourning the
quite considerable expense of the prepare
ton and printing of catalogue. Mr..
Billings with Characteristic thoughtful-
ness and generosity, now steps i'll to bear
the expense, and in due time we shall see
a choice catalogue of IA choice library.

The Rhea Plant.

The Indian Rhea plant possesses such
a tenacious fiber that it was long ago
pointed out that it would be of great
value for various manufacturing pur-
poses; but a difficulty stood in the way,
because of there being no machine
known by which the grower could pro-
duce from t a Gle n nd I'M roken fiber
fit for market. Thereupon the Ind an
Government o Tered a valuable prize to
the inventor of the coveted machine.
At the recent Calcutta exhib t on, nine
machines were shown of more or less
mer t, but only one fulfilled all the con-
dit ons laid down by the authori-
ties. This is called the Universal Fiber
Cleaning Mach ne, and it's main feature
consists of an iron drum upon which
several metal bea'ers are bolted. AS
it revolves, Jet of water releases the
refuse loosened by the heaters, and al
so so tens the gummy matter by which
the fibers are bound together. The cost
of the machine is small, and it can be
driven by steam or by bullocks. 1t is
antc pated that this invention will
oUen up new source of textile in
dustry, and will be especially valuable
in certa n d str cts of ndIa where the
Rhea plant grows wild and has been
hitherto looked upon as numbering the
ground.-M. Y Post
