COSTLY NIGHTS SPORT.
Two Bath Young Men Fined For
Violating the Fishery Laws.

BATH, December 24-The first suit for a
violation of the law under the act of the
Legislature, relative TO bass fishing in Winnie
gance Greek, which has been brought into
the Supreme Court, came up, Monday, Jas.
Bailey. fish warden, complaining against
two young men of Winnegance. Harry G.
Williams and Frank P. Rogers. The charge
made by the wardens is that on the night of
Jan. l. 1889. they concealed themselves on
one of the banks of Winnegance Greek to
watch for fishers whom they expected to
come out and examine two nets which
had been set in the channel. Early in the
forenoon of January I'd these defendants
were seen to go out In boat and fish, ac-
cording to the wardens, the lower net, after
which they picked up a net which had
broken adrift and came on shore.
There was some dispute when the wardens
undertook to stop the fishers but finally
warden Bates went out and brought the fish
net on shore. 1t proved to have only four
inch meshes while the statute requires that
they shall be six inches. Meanwhile the
bass which had been captured were convey.
ed away and concealed, so that the officers
could not take them. The defense made
was that this lower net was not fished at all
and that the bass captured were taken from
the drifting net which was legal and be-
longed TO the defendants.
The jury returned a verdict of $65 against
the defendants, S15 for using an illesa net
and $50 for ten fish caught therein. There
are several more cases in the wardens' hands
and it is proposed, now that a sort of pre-
cedent has been made, to put the rest into
court and try and end the illegal fishing
which is known TO be destroying black bass
in Winnegance Creek.

The Estate of a Parsee Merchant In
New York Courts.

New YORK, December 24-The beginning
of the end has been reached in the nnmer-
Gus legal processes against Nathaniel Jarvis.
Jr, as trustee Of the estate Of the Parsee
merchant. Boman Jee Byram Jee Colah.
Surrogate Ransom today granted an order
permitting Prescott HalliButler to make an
cillary administrator of the estate to settle
an action upon the payment of $65, 900, which
it is stated, the friends of Jarvis collected to
help MIN out of trouble. Early in the seven
ties, Colah, while travelling here, became in
sane. His property, consisting mostly of
gold, amounting nearly to 100000 was hand
ed over to Jarvis, who was appointed trus-
tee. Subsequently the lunatic was sent back
to India, where he died, his property re-
naming in the custody of Jarvis, who made
unfortunate investments. After Colah's
death, Butler was appointed administrator
and found it necessary to sue Jarvis, obtain
ing in 1886 Judgment of $76,075.S7 against {
him. The case was appealed and several
changes made in the judgment Finally a
proposition to settle for $65,000 was acceded
to and the first payment of the settlement
money has been made.

Missouri, Kansas and Texas.

TOPEKA, Kan, December 24.--Late last
evening Judge Brewer filled with the clerk
of the United States Civil Court an opinion
in the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
cases, disposing of the motions that have
continued for the past four or five months.
The opinion is quite voluminous and will
undOubtly hasten the foreclosure Of the NJ.
KAT. The motions were made for the pur-
pose of delay and to postpone decree. All
of the motions except one were decidedly
against the M. K. & T. One of the motions
made by that company was to consolidate
the three actions pending against them,
therein the Union Trust Company, the Mer-
camille Trust Company and Russell Sage and
George j. Gould being complainants.
The application and motion to consolidate
was overruled. Another motion was one by
the M. X. & L. to file cross bill against the
Union and Mercantile Trust Company, and
the Union Pacific its company defendant,
and theyby seek an accounting with the
Missouri Pacific, and an adjustment of the
various lines. The other motion was the
application of the Trust companies to vacate
and set aside an order heretofore made,
authorizing the receivers to enter into a
contract of lease with the Kansas City and
Pacific railroad, a line from Parsons to
Paola, Kan, whereby they were enabled.
through an agreement with the Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Memphis road, to reach
Kansas City with their trains. This motion
was also OVerruled

New YORK, December 24.-Jacob Q.
Preble and Walter Preble, composing the
firm Of j. Q. Preble & Co., wholesale sta

except wages to their employees. The
amount of notes held BY banks in this city
Is said to be S350,0OO distributed among
twenty banks.
In regard to Preble & Co.'s failure, a bank
president, cOnversant with the affairs of the
concern, said today. "The failure Is simply
a commercial misfortune. There Is not, in
my opinion, the slightest suspicion Of fraud
in the matter There was TOO much money
invested and IL was more than the business
could stand. There was doubtless lack of
judgment, but nothing more serious can be
alleged. The failure Is not as bad as sup
posed. The money Is locked up In costly
plants and real estate. All the money that
has flowed into the concern Is in plain sight,
only IL can't be reached. No doubt a re-
ceiyer and assignee will be at once appoint

ti0ns can be made. The outstanding notes
