afternoon solemnized in the county

ested spectators, some Of which had

dissenting voice arose. Then Rev.

was mentioned and the voice became
unanimous. Accordingly that gentle

Every lawyer with an interest III the
American Fraternal Circle receivership
was in the city circuit court Thursday
afternoon when Judges Phelps and
Dennis listened to the reasons gwen
by about dozen lawyers why they
should be given tho lucrative job. II
was hard fight, but no one as yet
can say who the receivers will be, as
the judges reserved their decision.
Moses r. Walter nominated w.
Benton Crisp. He said Mr.. Crisp had
been the first lawyer to file a bill
against the circle. and for this reason
was entitled to be made one Of the re-
ceivers.
City-counsellor Albert Richie said
that he thought his partner, in fling
the bill, Thomas Hughes, should get
the position, as he did not think that
a receiver would have been appointed
in the allegations made in the original
bill filled by Mr.. Crisp in the Robinson
bill. II think that at least four receiv-
ers should be appointed said Col.
Richie. 1.-TWO from the plaintiffs
counsel, one from the circle and one
from the outside
Thomas Whalen representing lodges
in New York and Brooklyn thought
that they should have representation
among the receivers. They live at a
distance and should have someone to
attend to their interests. He propos-
ed himself.
Congressman Isador Rayner said
that he would surggest the name Of
Bernard Carter as the representative
Of the circle. Mr.. Carter, he said,
was not able to be present himself on
account Of illness but he was sure that
his appointment would be agreeable to
the officers of the circle.
Atty-gen. John P. Poe got upon his
feet and remarked that he didn't think
the circle should have any representa-
tive in the receivership, in view Of the
fact that it had been dissolved on the
ground of mismanagement. He pro-
posed the name Of Lewis J. Cohen as
a man who would acceptably gil the
bill.
e. N. Rich representing three Wash
ington lodges proposed himself, and
Daniel Brenton mentioned the name Of
Joshua Homer, president American
national bank, Hyland P. Stewart
thought he ought to have share of
the commissions and 50 did Samuel
Snowden. Both gentlemen spoke for
themselves.
Amy other district to be heard
from ~ asked Judge Dennis. There
was not, and the two judges held a
short consultation, lasting perhaps FIVE
minutes. 1--WE have listened atten-
lively to you gentlemen said Judge
Phelps, land as soon as possible will
announce the names Of the receivers.
We would say here, however, that the
commissions viii not be more than 6 j
per cent, and perhaps not that
Even at 8 per cent, however, the
commissions will amount to something
like $50, 900.
