BRADY WAS ACQUITTED.
The Rise and Fall of a Ralf Ton
of Coal.

The trial of NJ. G. Brady, the attorney,
for appropriating to his own use half
ton of coal, the property of one P. Fl.
Gibbons. was the feature of yesterday
mornings entertainment at the munich
pal court. The evidence in the case
made up story substantially as mar
rated IN the GLOBE. A half ton of
coal, ordered by w. FL. Donahue, had
been dumped on the sidewalk
in front of 213 Nicollet avenue. John
T. Byrnes, with whom Brady has an
Office, had also previously ordered coal,
and Brady made the natural mistake of
SuppoSing that the coal was that ordered
by Byrnes and so had it carried up to
their office. The only P. Halifax Glib
bons. in the role of prosecuting witness
on the stand, kept the audience in a
state of suppressed merriment by his
belligerency, and replies to the ques-
tons of j. Z. Byrnes, who appeared as
the defendants attorney.
Weren't you in our Office to have
Brady write love letter for you Sun
day?" was rather embarrassing ques-
ton that Mr.. ByrDes asked.
"Why don't you ask me if my mother
took in washing yesterday? It's got
Just as much 70 do with the case" re-
tOrted Pat, undaunted, and so this del
icate repartee proceeded, in spite of all
the court could do to suppress it. In
closing the case Mr.. Byrnes gave Col.
Gibbons an unmerciful roasting and en-
deavored to make it appear that he was
a rich coal baron prosecuting poor and
humble limb of the law through malice.
The Jury found no difficulty in agreeing
for an ac0ujttal.

TIE JURY DISAGREED.
A Rather Unusual Case, Invol,

A Rather Unusual Case, InvOlv-
ing Well-known Attorney.
The trial of John T. Byrnes, the we'll
known attorney, upon the charge of en-
beZZlement. created considerable inter-
est among attorneys about the municipal
court yesterday. The prosecution arose
out of disagreement as to the amount
of attorneys fees for certain work Mr..
ByrnPs had done for J. j. Clauson, who
SWore out no complaint. ClauSen had
employed ByrneS to collect an account
of S2O.42. Byrnes brought the suit,
served the summons. prosecuted the
case, obtained a Judgment for SlS, and
collected the money upon an execution.
When they came to a settlement, he
charged $40 for his services, saying he
would not go into court upon any
case for smaller fee. Clauson,
however, was unwilling to allow him
more than s.. ByneS finally pushed
Clausen out of his Office, and the latter
swOre out the warrant for embezzle-
ment. The case was tried before Judge
Emery, who refused to grant a motion
for dismissal upon the around that Clau-
sens own statement failed to make out
a case of embeZZlement. and the case
went to the jury, which failed to agree
after being out about four hours. The
case was an unusual one. and those who
heard the testimony were for the most
part surprised at the jury'S failure to
agree upon verdict, as an acqulttal
seemed TO be generally expected.

Mrs. Mary Collins, the proprietress, and
the woman was locked up in the central

The added profits of the Minneapolis
Mill company, the Atlantic Elevator
company and the st. Anthony Falls
W alter Power company, whose proper
ties are included in the purchase. and
which are figured only for 1888, show a
total profit for that year of SS92,372
No figures are given for the ten
months ending Nov. l, 1889, at which
time the sale took place, but it is hardly
probable that they would give as good
results as the figures for the previous
years. owing to the bull movement in
wheat a year ago, which was followed
by an enormous decline nearly up to
the close of the crop year.
The repairs and improvements are all
charged up to expense for the above
years, so that the profit is net

cash value of the properties was about
50, $50, 900, on which, according to the
showing. an average profit of S892.3T2

dedueting all charges for improvements

1t is not likely that i'm the above esti-

This statement is interesting, as be-
ing the first authentic one ever made as
to the profits of milling and elevator en-
terprises, and it will probably be the
subject of wide comment.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-SOme time
ago the attention of Secretary Noble
was directed to the fact that some at
tOrnPys practicing before the pension
bureau were using form of fee agree
ment which materially differed from the
form prescribed by the office. The reg
ular form has the law of 1884. relative
to attorneys fees. printed on the back,
with the following in large tyre at the
top of the page: Notice to Claimants
This contract is permissible under
the law, but not compulsory" refer
ring to the fact that the law fixed the
fee to be received by an attorney in
a pension case at $40. with the authority
to charge not more than sos under GER
tain circumstances. The diSapprOVed
fOim. which does not have the law
printed on the back, was adopted by a
number of attorneys, mainly, it is be-
lieV,d, TO save printing. Secretary
Noble. however. decided that this mOdi-
fed form should no longer be received,
but as this form had been sent out by
the attorneys to their clients and were
being executed, he decided to give due
notice. Under dale of Oct. %, 1889, an
order was issued which advised
attorneys that no form of fee
agreement other than the one
prescribed would be recognized. which
was executed and filed after Nov. Is,
1889. Some of the attorneys have pro-
tested TO the commissioner against this
order, alleging that it was calculated to
delay cases already near completion.
Commissioner Raum, however, to-day
decided that "all agreements not in the
form prescribed by this office, and exc
cuted after Nov. Is. 1889, and forwarded
to this Office will not be accepted as for
mai, but will be returned for cOrrec-
ton" The cases now pending and on
file in the Office which have not the pre-
Scribed agreement will not. of course, be

A Canadian Firm Cuts Too Wide
Swath.

MONTREAL. p. O., Nov. ia. W.
Morris d Bro, proprietors of the j. A.
Converse plaster and cordage works,
Montreal. have been compelled to seek
the indulgence OF their creditors. The
firm Is an old one, having been in exist
ence for about eighty years. 1t has al
wa VS. enjoyed the highest confidence of
! the business world, and WAS thought to
be perfectly safe. Once, few years
ago, when the senior Converse retired
ana handed over the business to his
son, it got into deep water. but the old
proprietor again took the helm and the
trouble was tided over. Four years ago
Mr.. Converse died, and his sOn-in-law,
Dir. Morris. took charge. The present
trouble is attributed to shrinkage of
values. absence of demand for binding
twine, and locking up capital in at
tempting to branch out too extensively.
A couple of years ago the firm opened a
branch factory In Port Hope and re-
ceived bonus Of $4,000. The Montreal
factory, where bags. cordage and plas-
ter are made, employs 500 men. and
that at Port Hope, making jute and cot
ton bags, keeps about loo going. The
Nelson's bank is interested to large
extent, but is secured for most of its
claim. 1t Is impossible to estimate the
liabilities, but they will reach, il not
exceed 81, 100000.
