which he found the company, said the

had personally examined into the pres
ent status of the concern, found every
thing in an admirable state, and very
much better than they had expected.

NOT HIS FUNERAL.
The order secured by certain parties
in the state supreme court directing the
Minnesota Thresher Manufacturing
company, purchasers of and successors
to the Northwestern Manufacturing 81
Car company, to show cause why they
should not be OuSted of their franchise
as corporation and a receiver appoint
ed, the news of which WAS conveyed to
the citizens of Saltwater by the GLOBE
of yesterday, failed to produce any very
great sensation. The moving spirit in
the new phase which the matters of the
company have assumed is we'll known
here, and no great confidence in his abil-
ity to obStruct the operations of the great
institution which he has been la6oring
against so long is felt. Senator Sabin
was seen early in the day and inter
viewed regarding the matter. He said
that the ''Suit Against Senator" APP
pearing in the headlines of the GLOBE,
was rather far-fetched. He was not, nor
had he ever been director in the
| threSher company, and owned but the
trif1lng amount of ten shares of its
stock. The company, as organized, was
composed mainly of the Eastern cred
itors of the old car company. Mr..
Lawrence, of Chicago, representing IL.
III. Porter, was the leading spirit
in its organization, of . which
he .(Sabin) had no lot or part.
Regarding the statements upon which
the order is said to be based. he said
they were but refutatiOn of the false
hoods of one Ii. &. Stone, which had
been thoroughly sifted in judicial eX-
animation lasting many months, and
none of which had stood the light of
day. So far as he was concerned he
was not the originator of the thresher
company, and was not now, nor had he
ever been, an officer or director in it,.
lie was not III any sense responsible for
its existence. The article in the GLOBE
was for personal or political purposes.
1t had no business significance in it.
1t was not suit against himself (Sabin),
but a suit agaiSt the thresher company.
In the suits which had been SO thor
oughly prosecuted almost every charge
contained in the statement had been
shown by sworn testimony to be false.
He said Stone, if he had single dollar
such statements over his own signature.
He could hide himself behind his cheap
pretensions as an attorney and against
this there seemed to be no legal mode
of redress. The threSher company was
not at all worried by the reiteration of
charges which had forced a most
searching legal investigation and had
been exploded, and it was that corpora
ton and not himself that would answer
the order of the court. ''lt is the same
old drunk" he said, land won't amount
to anything"
