A COSTLY CASE.
Result of the Fight Between the
telegraph Companies.


NEW YORK, July 10.-Just a year ago
to-day the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, acting by order of court, cut the
wires of the American Rapid company,
which it had leased and which were strung
to a connection with the Office of the Bank
ers' and Merchants Telegraph company,
and transferred them to connection with
the Western Union office. Receiver John
G. Farnsworth claimed that the Western
Union had not confined itself to the legal
license to cut the American Rapids wires.
but had also severed the wires
of the Bankers and Merchants
company. thereby inflicting serious
damage upon it and as an outgrowth OF
this Rain began suit against the Western
Union, laying his damages at 50, 000 O0G,
The verdict was reached to-day. The case
has been OH trial for twenty-three days,
and the best legal talent that could be pro-
cured in the country has been engaged IN
it. On behalf of Receiver Farnsworth
there have appeared ex-senator Roscoe
Conkling, Col. r G. Ingersoll, Edward
Lauberbacht and Henry j. Schenck. The
lawyers for the Western Union company
have been Joseph H. Choteau, Judge
John f. Dillon, Aaron Vanderpo0l and
Mr.. Eggleston. The case went to the jury
at 3:45 yesterday. All night they deliber-
ated over mass of documentary and sworn
testimony, and at 1890 this morning
came into court and said they could
not agree. One Of the jurors said that
there were eleven stubborn jurymen, but
did say how they stood. Judge Lawrence
sent them back to further consider tine case.
Shortly before p. N. the Jury returned
with a verdict of $240, 600 for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Choteau asked for stay for the pur
pose of making case on appeal and the
judge granted him a stay of 120 days after
the entry of judgment. Mr.. Schenck then
moved for treble damages, out the judge
denied the motion, and an exception was
taken. 1t is understood that each juror
will receive $3.50 for his work under a sec
ton of the code. Neither side seems to be
satisfied with the verdict. The costs will
be enormous.

A wild Man of the Woods.
snaoia1 RI tho GlOhe

DECATUR, Ind. July 1o.-The citizens of
Chattanooga, o., and vicinity are very
much excited over the appearance of a
crazy OF wild man in the woods adjacent to
the town. Mrs. Charles Bailenbaugh was
working in field two miles from Chat
tanooga yesterday when she discovered a
man approaching her who was entirely
naked, except nat and boots. AS soon as
she saw him she ran for an adjoining
field, where there were some men
at work and gave the alarm. The
men started after him and he ran for an adj
joining woods and disappeared in the thick
underbrush. To-day the farmers in that
region have all stopped harvesting and are
in search of the crazy man and expect to
capture him before the sun goes down to-
night. The women and children of that
section are afraid to venture outside of the
house while he is at large. 1t is supposed
he has escaped from some insane asylum.

The Jury Disagreed.

WooNsoCKET, Oak, July 10.-Benja-
min l.. Solomon, who shot and killed one
Peter Rhobe, near Waterbury, Jerauld
county, on the 18th day of November last,
has been ON trial for week past at
Washington springs. No trial ever occur
red in this part of Dakota that has created
one-tenth the interest as has this. Solomon,
the son of an old and wealthy lawyer of
Iowa, and Rhc5e, Swede. were both
farm laborers, living together in a
small house on the farm of Harris s. Combs,
near Waterbury. No one witnessed the
shootieg, and Solomon's story is all there is
to judge of the occurrence, and
yet his testimony was so conflict
ing that a large portion of the
citizens believe him guilty of a
cold blooded murder. He claims to have
been attacked by Rhodes with butcher
knife and lost the top of his left ear in the
fracas. Rhodes was three times shot, in the
arm, through the head and also
through the heart and the latter shot was
claimed by the prosecution must have been
made while he lay on the floor dead. The
jury failed to agree. standing seven for and
five against conviction.

Capt. Lynch's Saloon.

Speclal TO Cne GlOOe.
New YORK, July 10.-Capt. Lynch is a
veteran steamboat excursion men. About
three months ago he bought a large build
ing on the corner of Fulton and Sands
streets and has been fitting it up for hotel.
Recently the decorations Of the first floor
gave indications that it was to be a sa-
loon. This raised the ire of the good
people of the old Sands street Methodist
church, which is only half block away.
Now. it happens that Mayor Whitney of
Brooklyn has been a pillar in this church
for many years. A petition against grant
ing license to Capt. Lynch was put forth
in church meeting last week, and last May
Whitney was asked to sign it,
This he refused on the ground
that where license was applied for
the excise commissioners were competent to
deal with it. Hence there is war without
and war within. Capt Lynch claims to be
a temperance man himself. and is opening
the saloon just to accommodate the public.
He claims that it is move OF the church
temperance people against Mayor Whitney.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 10.-Maj.
Gen. o. o. Howard is spending few days
IN indianapolis on leave of absence. In
an Interview he refers to the charges made
py Col. A. Wilson Norris and j. G. Rosen-
garten of Pennsylvania, the latter of whom
was on Gen. Reynolds staff, that Gen.
Slckles had failed to obey orders
at Gettysburg and by doing so
nearly lost the day. He said:
The charge that Sickles was dereiict in his
DUTY and pid not obey orders is absolutely
false. He did just as he was commanded to
do, and subsequent developments showed
Where he acted Independently OF orders tina t
what he did was for the best. There was
nothing about Sickles' conduct on that occa-
sion that was not gallant and soldierly. L do
not care to speak in detail about myself
further than to say that it has been gen.
orally conceded and recognized in a
vote of thanks given me by congress
that the position in which placed our troops
on Cemetery hill on that first day saved US
from utter defeat and disaster. Whatever
can be said about my military record, no.
body can truthfully say that I ever delayed
III obeying orders.' AS to the criticism that
Gen. Sickles moved out of the line of battle,
Gen. Howard said: IF Meade had located
MS lines on the second day of that battle as
he did on the third, it was not wise for MIN to
nave moved of, but he did not. Going out
as he did to meet Longstreet was fortunate
thlng. There was desperate struggle,
for that was the whole situation and Gen. Lee
recognized this fact. / think the whole con-
troversy about this matter arises from the
first corps men to which Norris belonged, who
claim that their services in the battle never
received the recognition it deserved. Possibly
this may be true, but even if it is, it is no
excuse for Col Norris OF any other man mis-
representing the facts of which he is either
ignorant or does not want to do justice to the
participants.

CAPT. BEN PAGE.
He Was Highly Respected, But He
Has disappeared III the Same

Aoo DASs1 ppo&Ieu tsIl the Same.
NEW YORK, July 10.-Capt. Benjamin
Page, an old and highly respected citizen
of Harlem, has disappeared, leaving obli-
cations to the amount of over 500, 900. A
week ago Tuesday was the last time the
captain was seen by any of his friends.
On that day he went among them and Dor
rowed sums of money amounting to from
500 to $500, on the plea that he was about
to take up mortgage on some property
He was successful in most cases. and it is
estimated that he obtained fully $4,000
in that way. Capt. Page was in
the real estate business, and besides
this was trustee of the Belden estate,
worth S500,00 and of several smaller es-
tates. The Belden family about three
months ago requested Page to get things
into shape for an accounting. He promised
to have matteis settled last week, but while
waiting to do so an investigation was made,
and it was found that Page had appropri-
atsd some SIS, 600 of the funds belonging
to the estate. 1t was found that no taxes
had been paid since he took charge of the
estate, that he had pOcketed large amount
OF the rents and that numerous repairs for
which he had put in heavy bills, had never
been made. Other estates of which Mr..
Page had the management have suffered,
and it will take some time to tell the exact
amount he has embezzled. 1t is thought the
captain has gone to Australia.

NEW YORK. July 1O.-Capt. Benjamin
Pages defalcaton and disappearance has
amazed the residents of Harlem. He was
one or the oldest citizens, and as highly re-
spected us any resident OF the suburb. His
immediate resources arising from recent
drafts on his friends amount to 81, 500 or
more. He was short S15. 000 in his
accounts as trustee Of the Belden
estate, and as the heirs had demanded
4 settlement he made haste to gather up
enough to carry him beyond the danger
line. 1t is not believed that he had accum.
ulated his peculatons FROM the estate. He
had failed to pay taxes from time to time,
and reported rents unpaid that were
settled promptly. No accounting had
been made since he took charge of the
property three wears ago.

BosToN, Mass, July 1O.-It begins to
look as though Parson Downs of the Bow
dom Square Baptist church would have to
go to state prison. The grand jury to-day
brought an indictment against him for
adultery with another of his parlshioners.
and it is said there are other similar cases
in the background. the name of the
young woman is said to be Alice Walton
and she is unmarried. A child was born to
her in March last, and she testified before
the grand jury that her pastor is
the father. The intimacy between them
she alleges took place in a we'll known
hotel of off-color reputation in June of last
year. She says that this is not all she
knows about the notorious clergyman. In
stead of trying the original Indictment al
leging adultery between Parson Downs and
Mrs. Tabor, the district attorney says he
will go to trial with the new case, which
he will bring UP for hearing within two
weeks. Parson Downs is announced to
preach in Homestead hall tomorrow.
