dred thousand dollars, among which were
$50 shares of stock in the Oriental mills,
$50 shares in the Forestdale Manufactur-
ing company, besides many shares OF

plaintiff alleges that the par value of the
$1,000.
BY the will of Alfred A. Reed he left
two-tenths of his property TO his daughter
Charlotte Suzette TO be held in the trust
and the income paid to her by. his sons,
Alfred A. and William Gordon Reed.
This daughter married Paul Meurs Ger
ken of Amsterdam, Nethersland. aud as a
result of this union Marie Eleanor Gerken
was born. On Feb 10, 1883, the mother
died leaving Marie heir TO twotenths of
the fathers property.
The plaintiff alleges that the brothers
Alfred and William Gordon, misappropri-
ated the money which was held in trust
by them, and that on Aug. 10, 1883, they
secured a loan of $4,000 on the 80 shares
of the Forestdale Company and on the
same purchased 1o extra shares of Forest
dale, the certificates for which was made
out in theis own name; that on Oct. I,
1880 these 75 shares Of stock in the Forest
dole Company were tranferred TO
the account of the Oriental Mills
which soon after became insolvent, and
passed into the hands of receiver of
Samuel Ames that i'm addition to the
$4,000 the Reed Brothers also secured
another loan of $780, 900 from the Ameri-
can National Bank, giving the Forestdale
stock as security, which stock the Amer
lean National Bank now holds as its own.
The hearing to-day was on petition for n
temporary injunction against the
American National Bank, and also
for a suppna of the court, requiring
the officials of the Forestdale Company,
Samuel Ames rs receiver of the Oriental
Mills, the officers of the American Ma
tional Bank and Alfred A. and William

future date and give an accounting OF the
money add property OF Alfred A. Reed,

PARIS, Fnb. s.-According to news re-
ceived from Berlin the German govern
ment has decided to take action against
the socialists and anarchists. Seven social
lists were arrested in Berlin yesterday
morning accused of the crime of high
treason.
These arrests-the first since the aboli-
tion of the famous sedition laws-bave
created great excitement. IL appears that
the police are on the track of anarchist
plots, hence the Emperor appears TO have
decided on action.
While dining with General Caprivi on
Thursday the Emperor said To a national
liberal deputy loud enough for every one
to hear: ",Tbe socialist party wishes To
attack the existing order of things but
am prepared for them, and will take
measures against them in consequences"
This resolve will increase the complica-
tons that have been foreseen for the last
three months.
