William A. Allen. administrator OF the
estate of James Maxwell, fled a suit in tho
United States circuit court yesterday for
$4,000 damages against the Northern Pa
citio railroad company. Maxwell was en-
ployed by the railroad company Mt Sanders
in Yellowstone county about n water tank
which was supplied with water by means Of
nm engine and boiler. Maxwell went into
the engine room on Sept. ], 1891, when the
boiler exploded. The escaping steam and
hot water injured him so that he died the
next day. He was 35 years old and left a
widow and two children, n ii years old
and the other II. A month after her hus-
band died Mrs. Maxwell gave birth to a
daughter. 1t is alleged that Maxwell was a
strong healthy man who could earn good
wages. and that the family we're dependent
upon him for support. Ihe suit WAS
originally commenced in the district court
of Yellowstone county, but was transferred
to the circuit court on the application of
the railroad rom pany. u. p. Caldwell and
X. L. Allen are the attorneys for the ad.
minist.ator.

Roland Reed To. Night.

One Of the cleverest comedies ssen here
In a long time will be presented Tonight at
MinR's by that clever actor. Roland Reed.
The piece is an eccentric comedy in three
acts, and gives Mr.. Reed splendid opportu-
mites. An txchanRe says; The character.
as played by Reed. is probably one of the
most artistic efforts of genuine comedy yet
undertaken by him, as his impsrsonation
in no way depends upon horseplay, gro
tesque grimsces, or vulgar bids for popular
applause, but solely upon subtle and deli
cate play of feature which indicates the
manner the mind of the supposed character
is affected by the ludicrous situation. This
is art of no mean order. which is divided by
n hairbreadth only from pathos, as was
plainly observable at many points. The
impersonation recalled the peculiar style of
the celebrated + ederick Robson, who used
to play in a ~laughable farce the business of
weeping over wilful daughter and drying
his eyes with n c~abbaRe-leaf. This used to
set the audience in a roar. One night,
however. the fancy struck Robson to test
the sympathies of the house by treating
the cnbbage-leaf business with pathos. He
was rewarded by seeing everybody in tears
in the midst of a roaring farce.
Wednesday night 1.-The Woman Halter"
will be presented.

Sarah A. Wheeler, cashier Of the Helena
branch, the trustees and more than 5000
mombe, 8 OF the order. The suit is brought
by members of the Helena branch to recover
its proportion Of moneys paid to the su-
preme sitting as a reserve fund. 1t 10 al
legged that the supreme sitting has misap-
p,opiiated and s%quandered the money, and
that the Iron Hall can never fulfill its obi
gations. The amount collected by ASSESS
ment by the local branch exceeded $4,000.
which was remitted to the supreme sitting
and 20 per cent retained and which consti-
tuted q reserve fund. Thu local branch
was organized on Feb. 5. 1885. The supreme
sitting is the national executive, Legislative
and judicial covering body Of the order.
which was organized under the laws of
Indiana. The suit is the result of an action
brought against the order in the courts of
Indiana which placed it in the han 8 of a
receiver. The plaintiffs ask the district
court for a restraining order to protect
their interest in the reserve fund.

VIII Stand by Bri1pR.

New YORK, Oct. 17-Ezra M. Kingsley,
secretary and treasurer of Union Theo-
logical seminary, and recorder of the board
of directors, says the action at Thursdays
meeting of the directors was not taken in a
spirit of defiance to the general assembly.
In speaking about DR.. Briggs, in regard to
to whose transfer the friction arose, Kings
ley said that should the verdict of the New
York presbytery be adverse, at the trial
next month. the board of directors would
stand by him in the same way he done
hitherto. James c.. Carter. legal adviser of
the seminary directors, has given an opin-
ion that the general assembly had no power
to make the contract of 1870 and that the
seminary had no right to delegate to the
general assembly authority to veto the ap-
p%ointment or election of professors made
by the board,
