filed before Judge jenkins in the United

removal Of Thomas +. Cakes, Henry c.
Payne and Henry c. Rouse, the receivers
Of the road, alleging that they are parties
to conspiracy To defraud the company, and
that therefore their places should be de-
clarcd vacant and other persons substituted
for them. Such charge and proceeding
were extraordinary enough, but they pale
ntoinsignificant interest when the separate
facts upon which the charge is made are

In every case the owners Of these worth

Il Ct. Keene has found in the diary OF
his late father an interesting description
Of the storming Of Seringapatam, at
which he was present on May 4, 1893.
Captain Keene, who was a nephew of
General Harris, then commander in
chief, seems to have gathered from pris-
Cuers full details of the last moments of
our once redoubtable enemy, Tippoo
Eahib In his entries, which have been
forwarded for publication to the Cal
Cutta Review, he says:
"Tippoo sat at his dinner till one Of his
servants told him that the English were
coming, and they presently appeared.
This was the head of the left hand col
hmn. He sent off servant to the place
to bring up the troops, seized his rifle
and shot one Of the first three who came
on in front. Another was killed by a
shot from the bastion behind. The third
still advancing, Tippoo cried out, These
are devils; two are killed and the third
comes on He fled, only to find him
self hemmed in between two columns.
He fought bravely. When he fell wound
ed an officer was about to say who he
was. Tippoo frowned and put his fingers
to his lips He then made a blow at
sergeant and cut into the barrel of his
tirelock. The sergeant killed him with
his bayonet, and the body was soon COW
cred by the slain"
1t has been said that the success of the
assault was necessary to the existence of
the besieging army under General Band,
and Captain Keene's diary confirms this.
