statement to the stockholders:
"The business of the company 10 entire

wise to strengthen the position OF the

well enough she will be brought up for
trial tomorrow morning. She has been
very i'll and at one time it was feared she
was dying, but now she has recovered
enough 10 stand the ordeal of the court.
A week ago she developed a serious form
of hysterical catalepsy, which on Wednes-
day resulted in total Inconsistencies for
sixteen hours. Nothing could rouse her
until DIR. Gilbert, the house physician at
Holloway Jail, believing that she was
shamming, finally sent for Sir Richard
Quain, the Queens physician, who told
me to-day that he stuck long needle into
her arm under the belief that she was
shamming and failed TO make her move
muscle.
Sir Richard ascertained for the first
time that she has been subject TO epilep-
tic fits all her life, which fact had been
carefully withheld by her family from
Captain Osborne before the marriage.
She told her husband that she knew she
was stealing diamonds, but that her mind
was perfect blank so far as changing
bank notes was concerned.

Work In Dutchess County.
tny LEASED WIRE TO THE NEWS,

New YORK, March 9-The Bar Associa-
ton, society OF lawyers of this city,
which has ], 146 members. debated for two
hours last evening what action they
should take in the case of Isaac II. May
nard, formerly deputy attorney general,
and since elevated to the high position of
Judge of the Court of Appeals, in connec-
ton with the securing of the returns of
the Dutchess county election from three
of the State government Offices at Albany
by Storm Emans, county clerk OF
Duchess.
Mr. Maynard's elevation was very gen
orally accepted as a reward for the politi-
cal crime in which he was an active part
ner and as Dave Hills scheme for placing
him beyond the power of courts with
criminal Jurisdiction. IL was the first time
in the history of the State that the judicial
Office had been so prostituted. and reputa
BILE LAWYERS everywhere felt that they
should protest against this injury TO the
honor OF their profession.
Judge Maynard's case came up under
the heading of miscellaneous business.
to refer to the Dutchess county election
case in terms which commanded the
silence of the large audience.
THE honor and dignity of the judicial
Office" said he, are drawn in question.
I'VE cannot look ouDelients in the face
when the subject is ni6Ationed something
must needs be vindicated or punished. 7"
In concluding Mr.. Carter moved this
resolutions:
WHEREAS, II appears from late opinion pro-
nOunced by a Judge OF the Supreme Court that
grave offences may have recently been committed
from the taking of election return from the office
OF the comptroller OF this state and that Mr. Isaac
ii. Maynard, then deputy attorney general and since
elevated 20 the bench OF our highest court, so
connected with the transaction as 20 impair his
fulness as Judge and tend 10 discredit the admin
istration of justice
Now therefore IL is resolved that It be referred
a committee OF nine members appointed by the
president OF the association TO inquire into the mat
tiers aforesaid and Judge Maynsrd's connection
herewith, and TO report at an adjourned meeting
OF the association, 10 be held on the evening OF
March 90 at II. NJ. the facts, with the opinion of
said committee, as to what action, II any. should be
taken by the association In the premises.
These resolutions were seconded by Will
liam X. Chambers, and were opposed by
various Tammany representatives. The
closing speech by Frederic r. Coudert
was called the turning point of the meet
ing. He believed in pure politics and the
righting of any wrong by either party.
He spoke for fifteen minutes and when he
concluded there was a general shout Of
ayes for the motion. The noes made but
a small echo and the committee was
appointed
