CAPITAL FURNITURE COMPANY.
Conrad Bernhard Commences Suit to
AnnuI Its Charter.
He Claims That 1t Was Never Incor-
porated in Accordance With
the Law of This state.

suit has been filed in the Superior
Court, entitled 1.-The People ex rel. c..
Bernhard VS.. Tho Capital Furniture Com
pany," which alleges that the defendant
claims to be a corporation by virtue of
certain pretended articles of incorpora-
ton filed in the Office of the Secretary of
State in December, 1875, but that the said
articles of incorporation do not conform
to the laws of the State and do not confer
any right, power or authority on the de-
fendant to exercise the powers of corpo-
ration, they only providing for three di-
rectors instead of five, as the law at that
time required, and that they were the
only articles ever filed or attempted to be
filed by the defendant.
\ copy of the articles is given with
John NJ. Avery, Frederick Mier, James
Duflie, Conrad Bernhard and j. B. Potter
as incorporators, and specifying the num-
ber of directors as three, being John NJ.
Avery, Frederick Mier and Conrad
Bernhard.
The complaint further alleges that dur
ing the past fifteen years, although the
defendant has acted as a corporation. it
has during more of that time duly organ
lied as. a corporation under the laws Of
this state, but that it claims TO tie so
under the said pretended articles of in
corporation, and has never made adopted
or recorded any bylaws, rules or regula-
tons for its government, aud that its
management has always been by three
directors, and never by five, in accord
ance with law, and that for eight wears
the alleged directors of the company have
never held any meeting, or performed
any corporate act, or attempted 10 do so.
Further, that the number of share
holders in the stock of the corporation is
but three, each of whom is alleged TO own
one-third of the stock, and that they are
in reality only partners in trade and nave
wrongly and unlawtully attempted to
levy assessments and impose charges
against the so-called capital stock for the
purpose OF paying an alledged indebted
hess due nom the Capital Furniture Com
pany 10 one of the said shareholders.
though they have at all times had sufli-
cieut funds to meet all liabilities
That by reason Of all these acts the de-
tendant has forfeited its charter and it is
null and void, and he asks that the court
inquire into the matter and annul it, and
that receiver be appointed to wind up
its affairs.

Credit Whore 1t Is Due.

EDS. RECORD UNION: I noticed in one
OF the evening papers on Friday a COM
munication from the leader of the First
Artillery Band in reference to our ever
popular open-sir concerts, wherein he
gives all credit TO Messrs. Ormsby,
Harper and Coleman as the projectors OF
these outdoor amusements; but in his
long article, through intention or other
wise, he forgot to give credit to other
public-spirited young men of this COM
munity who, through their untiring ef-
forts, made our open-air concerts what
they are to-day-an honor to this city.
l refer to j. l.. Mills, Captain Ed
Sheehan, E. J. Devlin and General j. G.
MARITIME. If my memory is right, these
gentlemen took these concerts in hand
when they were given but semi-oecas-
ionally, and at a time when our people
had to be educated up TO what a good
thing they were for our city. These pro
gressive young men knew no such thing
as fail, but went ahead and gave their
time and money to making them the
great success they are to-day. In the
light of these facts, it is no more than
right TO give at least credit where credit is
due. a LADY ADMIRER.

Adam and Timothy Casselman Are
Sought For From the East.
Oscar G.. Tuthiu of Kalamazoo, Mich,
has written to County Clerk Hamilton
making inquiry for Adam and Timothy
Casselman, who, he states, have not been
heard from for three years or more.
They were at that time in this city, but
are supposed to have been killed in row.
He states that samuel Krader is their
brother-in-law. and that J John Knapp is a
brOther-in-law OF Krader, and knew
them well. They are supposed to have
died unmarried and a small estate was
LEFT to them.
The County Clerk and his deputies all
tried to read the letter, standing on their
heads and in various other positions in
their endeavors TO get at its meaning, but
it is the most intricate piece of penman-
ship ever seen in this city, and discounts

BicYcle ImnroYement.

A hill-climbing gear has been invented
in New Jersey that is said to be a success,

sensation experienced the moment the
change is made is as if the chain had

accustomed to it. With the reduced gear
back pedaling becomes so easy that a

Queer Things They Do in Japan,

the many funny stories he has brought bac *
from the land Of the mtkado is one on a well

sell IN this way to the Covington man, who
had only been in the country a few DAYS and
WASH very well up in the language.
He was quite staggered for moment at this
apparent question, but recovering himself he
replied with some embarrassment:
"Well-er-not exactly, miss; 1 came from
Kentucky, just across the river"
And then he wondered why the rest Of the
party laughed so immoderately.
A singular thing about the Japanese which
Stoddard was struck with was the apparently
humorous view the people take OF death and
misfortune, The sight of a funeral inVaria-
bly, makes them laugh or smile.
IhiS he can only account for as one of the
results OF their highly nervous Temperament.
Once while Mr. Stoddard was being shaved
by a native barber in Toxic he made some
reference to severe earthquake that had oc-
Cured in the vicinity the day before.
Much to his astonishment the barber began
to laugh, as he replied:
'Te-he That was pretty bad earthquake
but it wasn't half so bad as the one we had
last year Lots of people were-te he killed.
Why, do you know, my own father and
mother were killed. House fell on 'em and
squashed EN- FIAT. He, ha ha! He, he, he!"
