A Case which Involves Damages Amount
Ing to Five Million Dollars.

NEW HAVEN, June 15-- Proceedings in q
suit for WHICH more than s5,000,0O0 profits
and damages will be asked have just been
started by j. g. Richardson, the well

turers of the United States, including the

device is used the essentials of which the
complainant holds letters patent for.
The device in question is what is known
as the trip hook mechanism for delivering
or discharging gavels of grain Of uni
form size. The patent which it is claimed
that the defendants have been infringing
upon was granted to Thaddeus Fowler, of
Seymour, Conn, Aug. 90, 1876. The pat
ent, therefore, expires Aug. 20 next The
complainant has been preparing Wis case
for more than nine years, and eight years
ago the several manufacturers of the coun-
try were notified that they were infringing.
They acknowledged notice, but continued.

PHILADELPHIA, June 15.-It is under.
stood that IL the grand officers of the rail
road brotherhoods now here decide that
there is sufficient ground for the complaints
of the Readings men the matter will be
formally brought to the attention Of Presi-
dent Harris In an interview. The princi-
pal grievance is understood to be the COM
pulsory membership in the Reading Relief
association, which Mr.. Mcleod forced all
of the employees to join. In addition there
is objection to the system of suspensions
in operation for some time past, and to the
fact that favoritism is shown to certain
employees, the rates of pay and number Of
hours worked being unequal.
