MR.. cHESFER's PROTEST.

1t VIII Not Avail Him Much In the
Mechanics' and Laborers' Bank Case
At the hearing given BY the Chancellor
yesterday to the depositors of the Me-
chanics' and Laborers' Savings Bank
upon the compromise offered by the man
ayers of the bank, one Of the depositors
named Chester objected SO the proposed
settlement and intimated that he would
appeal. Well informed lawyers say that
Mr.. Chester clearly has no right to appeal
the suits against the managers and pros :
ecute the suit, as that was clearly the
provence of the receiver. But as to
whether he would have the right to ap-
peal from the decision OF the Chancellor
confirming the compromise is a question
which the Court Of Errcrs would have 70
pass upon.
"The depositors stand in this matter
like a corporation or partnership" said a
lawyer who is interested In the case,
s'and must be governed by the action of
the majority. otherwise Il would be diff
cult TO carry on matters Of this nature.
Mr.. Chester seems TO be laboring under
the impression that the Chanceiior's de-
cision makes the managers responsible
for the whole amount of the deposits with
interest. This Is erroneous. as the Cham
cellor,s decree is for from 95 to 100 per
cent of the deposits without interest.
Whereas the compromise offered BY the
managers brings the total amount which
the deposftors will receive up to so or So
per cent. of their deposits without in
terest

THE COURT DIsPLEAsED.
Judge Lippiucott was more than
displeased when he learned that

the large and commodious witness room
in the jail and he said:-
The witness or detention room Is in
tended for witnesses, insolvent debtors,

for contempt of court, and for no other
prisoners that / know Of / supposed

until the matter is brought to my notice
in Court
From he actions of the Judge, / left
him under the impression that more
would be heard of the affair.

DEMOCRATIC SOUTH DAKOTA.
The Legislature sare to Elect Tariff
Reform Senator.


YAEKToN. s. D., Nov. IA. 1s90-The
leading Republican newspapers of this
State admit that the Legislature
is lost to them on joint ballot by a
majority of eight and that Moody's
defeat is assured. The independents will
fuse with the Democrats and Bartlett
Trip. OF Yankton, will probably be elect
ed United States Senator.
ABERDEEN, S. OAK, Nov. II. 1S90-The
Republicans lost the Legislature in this
State at the election, but are now trying
to count in enough members TO secure a
majority. In pursuance of this
scheme the Brown County Return
ing Board today, after three days
wrangle. threw out the Greenfield Town
ship returns for slight informality. this
counting in two legislators who were not
elected. Similar tactics elsewhere are
expected TO secure Republican United
States Senator from South Dakota.
PIERRE, S. OAK, Nov. 13. lS90.-Cor-
rected returns have been received from
about all the counties in doubt, and IT is
beyond question that the Legisla-
ture is lost in both branches to
the Republicans. The House Will prob
ably give four majority for the Demo
tic-Independent-Fu Fusionists, while the
Senate will have not less than three, CIV
ing them seven majority on joint ballot
to elect United States Senator.

THE 0'NEILL'S ATTHEFAIR
Delighting the Ladies of st. Alloy
sius BY Their Presence.

The O'Neill's swooped down up on the
st. Aloysius' fair last night and distrib-
uted considerable amount Of surplus
cash among the various booths.
City Collector O'Neill, Assemblyman
Mullone. Joe" Buckridge, Capt. Charles
Carroll. Billy Heller and a score or
more ofthe leading lights eagerly awaited
about the rooms early in the evening for
the boys to turn up. Meanwhile Professor
William Hegeman entertained those
present with piano recital. BY half
eight the rooms were tolerably well filed
and it was proposed to make start.
Headed by brass band the association
moved through the streets to the Academy
and were soon lost in the throng that
surged around the booths and tables OF
the great fair.
The O'Neills, no doubt, regretted they
were not more strongly represented. for
the solid phalanx of pretty women and
young girls with books that stood await
ing their appearance was more terrible
than an army with banners. Yet the gal
liant O'Neills never for an instant fall
tered Their disappearance in that
maelstrom was something like the charge
of the famous Light Brigade at Bella
klava; only they were not 600 strong when
they charged, and when the enemy
cnargeo-Weli, the O'Nelus separated IN
small lgroups. Some went below to the
photograph gallery and wrestled with the
trio of cameras; others disappeared be-
low and were found firing away at BULBS
eyes. One division made charge on tie
art gallery and swept the shelves OF bric-
a-brac and relics.
The figures on the blackboards soon be-
gan to crawl, and when the O'Neills left
the contests stood as fellows:-

the Order May Have Full Control.
The enthusiasm among the Foresters in
this section over the proposed erection of
new Forestry Temple is at its Zenith,
and oozing over. Twenty of the county
Courts were represented at the meeting
of the committee at Roehe's Hall last
night, and two Courts from Essex also
sent delegates. Past High Chief O'Mealia
presided and Justice Weed officiated as
secretary. These officers will remain

fected.
After wide range OF discussion it was
decided to issue three Thousand shares OF
stock at $50 per share. The Foresters
think they can erect a magnificent hall
with $50, 900. All offers of capitalists to
erect the proposed building have been re-
fused. The Foresters desire absolute
control.
