An Old Lawsuit.
The case of David Holman against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company will be
heard in the circuit court to-day. It arises
out of a fire at Merrill, a temporary station
on the road in Yellowstone county In 1882.
The plaintiff lost some goods stored in a
warehouse destroyed in the fire and seeks to
recover their value. A similar case in
which man named Simms lost shipment
of butter in the same fire was tried several
years ago. The jury failed to agree. The
Holman case is one Of the legacies handed
down to the state from the old territorial
courts.

Some People Use Mineral

Three gold bricks, valued at $4,000, and
weighing about PAL pounds, are now resting
in the vaults Of the United States Assay
building. They were brought from the
famous Spotted Horse mine near Maiden in
Fergus, county by Hon. Perry w. Meadow,
aenator-elect of that county. The2 pounds
of the yellow metal were pounded out in
the Spotted Horse mill in forty-days' run,
g. $50 for each day that the stamps fell.
Senator Meadow, with an armed escort of
two men. brought the gold bars by private
conveyance from Maiden to Great Falls,
where he boarded q Montana Central for
Helena. The mine, he says, never looked
better, and he is glad to be once more the
owner Of the Spotted Horse. There is a
scarcity of water in the mountains near
Maiden, and AS he does not wish to remain
in the camp all winter the senator closed
the mill down few days ago until spring.
He has force of men getting out ore, run
ing levels and doing other development
work on the mine. He will leave here in
few days for southern California and ex-
poets to return in about three months.

A modest young gentleman with dimple
in his chin and exhibiting tendency to-
ward badness was last Wednesday evening
made the baby member of the Quaint club
in New York. The same gentleman was
recently admitted to the privileges of mem
bership in the Press club; and in the last
eighteen months has attained more dis
tinction than, in all probability, he had
ever dreamed Of possessing until his father
was elected president of tho United States.
This gentleman is Russell b. Harrison.
The Quaint club is an association of jolly
fellows, including Chauncey NJ. Depew, w.
j. Arkell, Colonel Joel 3. Erhardt, Julian
Ralph, Bernard Gillian and twenty others.
1t meets once month to enjoy a dinner
and to revel in the latest stories, the newest
songs and the brightest sayings of chosen
group of newspaper, railroad and other
professional men. These dinners are al
ways accompanied with some novelty
some new and clever ideas. One of the
most unique features of the Quaint clubs
dinner gatherings is the custom derived
from the famous Glover club of Philadel-
phia, that of permitting its members and
guests to indulge in conversation from the
first to the last course. The last dinner of
the club was given Wednesday evening. At
the head of the table sat Russell B. Harri-
son. son Of the president. He was intro
duced as new member that evening. He
entertained the gathering with an eloquent
eulogy of the Quaint club and sat down
amidst applause.

1t was all over COW. Justice Fleisoher
was the court. The jury shall be nameless.
Brown had bought the COW of Smith. He
still owed balance on it. The COW was ia
ken sick. Brown knew nothing about doc
toring it. He sent it to Smith for treat
ment. Smith cured the animal. Then he
refused to give her back to Brown. He
wanted the balance of purchase money
first. One night Brown let down the bars
at Smiths place, and took his COW home.
Smith sued for his services as COW doctor;
also for the balance due. The jury deliber-
ated two hours. Then they sent for the
judge: "Who shall we give the COW TOP"
they asked. ''The question of ownership
OF the COW is not involved answered
Judge Fleischer. "You only want to say
whether Smith gets what he claims for ser
vices and for balance due" The Jury de-
liberated two hours more. Then they
brought in q verdict for Brown. The
ground for it was that he had been de-
prived of the use of the COW by Smith hold
ing on to the animal.

One Of the walters in restaurant was
asked the other night whether the increased
price of champagne had curtailed the sale
of that exhilarating beverage. He promptly
replied that it had. ''Of course. the men
who have plenty of money buy as much
champagne as ever" said he, "althouph
they grumble good deal about the Mo
Kinley bill, but it is among men of moder-
ate means that the difference is noticed.
They really could not afford to drink wine
at $3.50 bottle. but they used to do it be-
cause it was the SWELL thing to do and
they liked the champagne. But the added
SO cents on each bottle is too much for
them. II is the last straw, You know. Now
many of that class of men drink mineral
water. They are bound to have bottle in
front of them, and the opening of mineral
water bottle sounds like the opening of a
champagne bottle, don't you see?"

Anyone who heard the band render the

woodland life coupled with the splashino of
the mill wheel.

TIE DAILY SUITS TRIED.

Judgments Rendered in Favor of
Capt. Doyle-A Dramatic Incident.
The suits entered in Justice Sheftalrs
court against Capt. NJ. ]. Doyle by James
DAILY for the recovery Of nine claim papers
against the United States govern ment,
which be said he had put into Capt D3yle's
hands for collection, were tried before the
justice yesterday afternoon, and resulted 10
judgments in each casa in favor Of the de-
PENDANT. EE
There were were nine suits in all, and
Capt. Doyle's attorneys, O'Conner &
OByrne, agreed to have them tried to-
gether instead of separately.
Ii was proven conclusively that DAILY had
never given Capt. Doyle any papers, and
the only thing OF the nature Of the docu-
ents which DAILY sued for were several
copies of claims against the government
which Mrs. DAILY, mother Of the plaintiff
had tried TO have recognized for years
without success.
There was a dramatic scene when Capt.
Doyle, in his testimony. denounced DAILY as
a blackmailer and a scoundrel. Justice
Sheftall warned Capt Doyle against placing
himself in contempt Of court and the
doughty captain, with fire in his eve, replied
that he cared for neither court or jury,
when his honor and manhood were at
stake, and he proposed to defend it at all
hazards

SAW MACON IN 1882.
Recollections of Other Days, as Tol q
by Chauncey Vibbard.
From the eMacon (Ga.l Teleqraph.

EtoCOlleCJlOnS OI OCQ6T Lays, as 4OlG
by Chauncey Vibbard.
From the Rfdcon (Ga.) Telegraph.
A remarkable old man is Chauncey Vib-
bard, who is spending the winter with his
son-in-law, A. Craig Palmer, in this city.
In 1860 Mr.. Vibbard was elected to con-
gress from New York. Although demo-
crat, he was elected by 500 majority in the
same district where Lincoln, in his first
campaign, got q republican majority of
$500.
At that time Mr.. Vibbard had already
become widely known as q railroad man
ager of uncommon ability. His capacities
in that line attracted the attention of Presi-
dent Lincoln. 1t was at the beginning of
the war, when men of ability were in great
demand. Lincoln waived all questions of
political preference in the case of Mr.. Vib-
bard, whom he appointed war manager of
all the railroads in the United States, with
full power to run all trains necessary in
conveying federal troops and supplies. He
still has the paper making this appointment,
bearing the signature of Secretary Stanton.
Mr.. Vibbard, although now in his S0th
year, has very distinct remembrance of
President Lincoln and his family. He says
Lincoln always dressed plainly, and that he
often saw the Presidents children, among
them the little Robert Todd, who afterward
grew up to be minister at the court of st.
James, running around in copper -toed shoes.
Mr.. Vibbard says he clearly remembers
having seen Aaron Burr and John Quincy
Adams. He considers Burr the handsomest
man he ever saw. He says that he has still
in his possession the pistols with which was
fought the memorable and fatal duel be-
tween: Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton.
They are very crude old weapons, but have
''hair triggers made to spring at the
slightest touch Of the finger. His recollec-
tions of Adams are not SO distinct, and he
thought him rather ordinary looking man.
In 1882, wien Mr.. Vibbard was youth
of 81 years, be came south to find employ
melt. From New York he went to Savan-
nah by steamer, and from there he took a
boat up the Ocmulgee to Macon. While in
this city, which was even then of consid-
cradle Importance, Mr.. Vibbard went to
Columbus and to Montgomery, Ala, by
stage. There he found employment in the
general merchandise store of Pond 81 Con-
verse, which was then the largest establish
ment in town. He remained there about a
year and half before returning north.
Mr.. Wizards recollection of Macon as it
appeared to him on his first visit in 1892 are
meager He remembers, however, that he
stopped at the Hotel Lanier, which was
where it is now, and that the bar run in
connection with it was free to all the
guests of the hotel. Indians were to, be
met with everywhere on the road as he
went to Columbus, but they were all quiet
and harmless.

The offices of auditor of earnings and
auditor Of expense of the Charleston and
Savannah railway have been made one. and
j. E. Smith has been appointed to fill the
position. Mr.. Smith has long been con-
nected with the Charleston aud Savannah
railway. He has for some time held the
position of auditor of expenses for the
road, and the promotion is most deserved
one. The new arrangement will go into
effect Dec. l.
The new seacoast line from Norfolk to
Charleston hos been the topic of much dis
cussion of late, and from what can be
learned the road is an assured fact. In
speaking of the proposed road the Chicago
RdittUdy ReUie,C says: The Charleston,
Wilmington aud Norfolk Railroad Company
has contracted with the Carolina construc-
ton for the building of the proposed road
between Norfolk and Charleston. The
company purchases the.charters of the San
tee and Little River and Portsmouth and
South Mills railroad companies. The head
quarters of the company will be at Charles
ton, s. c., for the present. j. C. McNaugh-
ton is president, r. Duncan Harris is vice
president and treasurer. and Carroll Foster
of Philadelphia secretary. The company
will build 365 miles of road, and is capital

PUSHING a NEW LINE.
a Party of Macon and Dublin Off
Gals In Town.

a Party of Macon and Dublin OFF,
Gals IN Town.
A party Of officials of the Macon and
Dublin railroad arrived by the Central
last night, and are at the De Soto. The
party consists Of James F. Wright, presi-
dent, Of Macon, formerly Of Iii nois; A. c.
Topper Of Chicago, treasurer; w. d. Ducey
Of Michigan, and j. ". Stubs Of Dublin.
They are in town on business connected
with the Macon and Dublin.
President Wright was seen at the De Soto
last night by q MORNING News reporter
and was asked about the progress of the
road. He says work Is being pushed rapidly
along the line. Nearly the whole distance
between Macon and Dublin has been graded,
ten miles Of track has been laid aud the
rails for the whole distance are on the
ground. The distance from Macon t.
Dublin is fifty-two miles.
"a large force Of hands is now at work
and the lins will be complsted within few
months" said President Wright 'Ihe road
viii not have to be bonded 70 complete IT,
as ell the money necessary has been sub
scribed by the parties Interested"
II Is the intention OF the company, so
Sir. Wright says, 20 push on from Dublin in
the direction Of Savannah as soon as the
line from Macon to Dublin is com
pleted 70 some point near
Savannah. If they can get into Savannah
they will come in, but from the expressions
Of the party they did not seem to expect to
get an entry T. Savannah. "a point near
Savannah" is the manner in which they ex-
pressed it.
The Macon ana Dublin is an independent
line, and is not proceeding on the charter Of
the old Savannah, Dublin and Western
Short Line. 1t is a rival line 10 the Macon
and Atlantic. and some time ago enjoined
that road from constructing its line
through certain territory in close
proximity to the Macon and Dublin. The
injunction was not sustained, however.
Work was begun on the line ia July and
has been pushed rapidly. Besides the
Georgia parties interested the hackers Of
the line are Illinois and Michigan capital
lists who are putting considerable money
into the enterprise. They seem to mean
business.
President Wright is young man from
Illinois, though he now calls himself "a
Georgia cracker" and he might very well
pass for one; that is he is gentleman of
pleasant and affable manners. 1t is under
stood that several parties in Savannah are
Interested in the Macon and Dublin.
