PAN-ELECTRIC STOCK.
The Case Brought by j. Harris Rodgers
Dismissed.


WASHINGTON, April 2L.-In the district
court in general term to-day decision was
announced in the celebrated pan-electric
case, otherwise the case of j. Harris Rodg-
ers against ex-Attorney General Garland,
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Isham G. Harris,
John d. c. Atkins and Casey Young for
dissolution and accounting. The suit was
brought in 1886, and was at that
time sensational The court held that
the charge of a violation of agree
ment had not been sustained, the
original agreement having been in effect
carried out; that the allegation of new
and amended contract being made was not
sustained; that the complainant was not
entitled to an account nor for money to be
paid back for the reason that an account
had been taken and the complainant re-
cefved his dividend when paid, aud if he had
not been paid enough his remedy was
by an action at law; that all he was entitled
to was reconveyance of patents not con-
veyed to the Pan Electric Telephone Com
pany and Pan-Electric Telegraph Company.
The bill would be dismissed, each party to
pay its own costs. 1t is stated that Rodgers
will probably not take an appeal.

No Progress Toward a Settlement
Made at Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 21.-No progress was
made toward a settlement of the carpen-
ters' strike to-day; in fact settlement
seems further off than ever. 1t was under
stood that as soon as the new Master Car
penters' Association should become strong
enough to give employment to 1000 mea
work by that number would be resumed.
The leaders of the strikers now say that
Ghey talked with the new organize
tion as a matter of courtesy, but
that in no event will any of the strikers be
allowed to return to work until bosses
representing seven-eighths of the employing
capacity of the city have given In and
recognized the union. 1t is not probable
that this will be done soon. The citizens
committee, which was appointed to
bring about settlement of the
trouble, was to have met a com
mittee of the employing carpenters
for the purpose of talking the matter over
this afternoon, but their conference was
given up under circumstances which point
to failure to effect anything in that direc-
ton
