When DIR. Strong located in Providence over
two years ago he stated that he would stay in
this city for at least one year, and later on
statsd that he would remain permanently.
That he has fulfilled his promise Is proven by
the fact he is still here. During DR. Strong's
residence In Providence, this city has been
visited by fourteen different physicians who
advertised 10 treat the sick; and also adver-
tised that they would remain permanently.
Now what has been the result; not single
one OF the fourteen is personally conducting
practice in this city to-day. Could IL be possi-
Bile 10 produce stronger proof OF DR.. Strong's
success, and the honorable and straightfor-
ward manner in which he has treated the pub
lie, than the fact that he alone of all the ply
sicans who have located here and advertised
in the past two years has done what he
claimed he would do from the beginning?
Many who were not acquainted with him or
his methods circulated reports, and stated that
he would not remain, and when he visited
Europe this summer that he would not return
These persons have been proven by Dr.
strong's acts TO have been laboring under
grea tmistake.

July 4th. 1889, the Enterprise Egg Case Co.,
of this city, made an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, 10 Bradford Howland, Esq, who
failing to qualify as assignee, H. B. Dickinson
was appointed trustee in his stead by the court
On July sd the Second National Bank Of
Ravenna, being the largest creditor, took judg-
ment against the Company upon cognovit notes,
for S2oi8.oo, and the same day levied upon all
the personal property of the Company, both
here and in Cleveland thus leaving nothing to
come into the hands of the trustee. The Bank
realized about SI4oo from the sale of its prop
erty.
At the time Of the assignment the Company
was indebted to SO of its employees for labor, in
amounts ranging from $3.50 to $40, the aggre-
gate being $685.
By the act of April 5th, 1889. this kind of a
judgment is void as to claims of operatives for
| labor performed within twelve months of the
assignment, to the amount of $500 each.
1t is claimed by the defendants that inasmuch
as the debt owing by the Company to them was
in existence before the passage of the act, re-
ferred to above, the act was therefore retroac-
tive in its nature, and in violation of article ?
section 23 of the constitution of Ohio, which
says: 1.-THE general government shall have nc
| power to pass retroactive laws or laws impairing
the obligation of contracts" Also, in violation
of article I, section 10 of the Federal constitu
ton, which says, mo State shall pass any ex
post facto law, or law impairing the obligation
of contracts
The case was tried to Hon. ]. R. Johnston
upon an agreed statement of facts. The plain
tiff claims that the act referred to was not il
violation of either the State or Federal consti
tuition, because it does not affect the obligation
of the contract between the bank and the com
pany, but affects merely the remedy, the con
troversy being simply one between preferred
and unpreferred creditors, and the contract re
manning in statu quo.
This view of the plaintiff was sustained b
the court who rendered a decision in his favo
for the entire amount and interest.
H. B. Dickinson and NJ Stuart appeared fo
the plaintiffs, and Bradford Rowland for til
defendants. The defendants have taken Ii
: case to the circuit court.
4 This is one of the most interesting cases trie
r in our courts for years, involving as it did 8
i many nice questions of law, and affecting II
interests of so many claimants, not only in til
: particular suit but the State over. There e
r lists no supreme court decision on the question
: involved, and if the case should go to tn
court, it will be the means of settling MAJ
vexed disputes over similar matters.

gentleman may have committed. he was not
