AGAINST RUSSELL SAGE.
Col. Greene, the Railroad Contractor,
Wins His Suit,

ST. JOHN, July 25.-Word has been re-
ceived here of the decision of the English
privy council in the case of Greene v.
Russell Sage, the Grand Southern Rail-
way and others, the decision being favor
able to Colonel Greene. Colonel Greene
was contractor for the road but became
financially embarrassed, ,and it was neces-
sary to raise money to proceed with the
work, and an agreement was entered in
to by which the lender should have a
preference claim on the property of the
company, and also as against the de-
PENDANTS. The plaintiff, son of Colonel
Greene, advanced the required sum,
which was expended by Colonel Greene
for the purpose of paying the company's s
bills. The defence was that the larger
portion of the money went to pay the
private Indebtedness of Colonel Greene,
and that the defendants were not liable
to the plaintiff for the amount advanced
by him.
The case was ..takenl by the plain
tiff to the supreme court of New Bruins
wick, where it was argued early in 1890,
which court reversed the judgment of
the Judge below, holding there was an
agreement, and that plaintiffs were enti-
tied to recover the amount advanced.
From this the defendants appealed to the
privy council. The argument was had
on the 18th inst, when their lordships,
without shearing..Mr. Pugsley, decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The amount in
volved in this case, inclusive Of costs.
will be upwards of $4,000. The ooun-
sci representing the parties were William
Pugsley, @. c., instructed by A. McNi-
chol of Calais, Me-, for plaintiff, and G.
W. Weldon, @. c., instructed by Fl. NJ.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 26. Confidence
has returned to this city. There were no
disturbing scenes at any of the Indianap-
oils banks today, and business wore its
usual aspect. The determination ex-
pressed yesterday by the business COM
munity to proceed calmly is evidently in
permanent force There was nothing un-
usual in the demeanor of the people about
the banks or other business centres. The
expression most frequently heard was
that Indianapolis had no cause for alarm.
The banks have been boarding gold for
six months, and all conservative citizens
are operating with them to preserve
normal state in the financial situation.
Bank Examiner Young arrived in the city
TODAY. He went to the Indianapolis ma
tional bank and took possession, in ac-
cordance with instructions from Wash
ington. John w. Ray of the bank of
Commerce says that bank will make no
assignment, but that, on the contrary, it
will resume business. 1t is believed that
this bank has made substantial arrange
ments for aid.

THE PEOPLE OUTRAGED.

Remarkable Charges Made Against su-
preme Court Judges by Hon. VIM. e.
Chandler.
CONCORD, N. H., July Ex-senator VIM.
E. Chandler will publish over his own
signature in the Monitor tomorrow an
open letter addressed to Hon. Harry
Bingham, president Of the Southern New
Hampshire Bar Association. calling at
tention to certain detailed charges by
Mr.. Chandler against Justices Doe, Smith,
Clark. Blodgett and Carpenter, of the
Supreme Court of New Hamsphire,
which, he claims, are fully borne out by
data sent them by mail. Mr.. Chaudler's
charges against the judges are that they
gave to the House of Representatives an
opinion that the 17uh section of the Con-
cord railroads charter, bearing upon the
right of the state to take that road, was
not in force, which opinion is a plain and
palpable error; that after the alleged error
was known to them they refused to
grant rehearing of the question; that
they have given to the public and pro
pose to publish in the New Hampshire
reports an elaborate reason in which they
neither quote nor allude to or disclose
the existence of two sections of the pub
lie statutes of the state which indisputa-
bly, demonstrate the plain and palpable
error of their opinion. He asks that the
papers referred to be laid before the
members of the respective par associa-
tions and says: IF the charges are not
sustained and are unfounded, the origi
nator Of such culumnies merits unlim-
tied reprobation and the severest pun
ishment that can be inflicted. If the
complaints are true and remain unre-
dressed by the judges, those officials de-
serve to be driven from their places by
all the powers of plundered and out

PORTSMOUTH, July 26. = The worst
electrical storm that has visited this city
for several years occurred shortly after
II o'clock, and lasted about 45 minutes.
Rain fell in torrents, but the force of the
shower was broken by the river, which
seemed to divide it, the heaviest portion
going into York county. A coal schooner
unloading at Meals wharf in Kittery,
broke adrift, but was secured before any
damage was done. A three-masted
schooner coming up the river was struck
by the squall which preceded the storm,
when abreast of the Narrows, but was
saved from going ashore by the timely
dropping of anchors. River men say
that they never witnessed a storm of
such fury on the river in the summer
time.
At Newcastle, the great Hotel Went
worth was shelteling about 300 people,
including the lawn tennis players, who
are playing in the Newcastle tournament,
when a sharp flash came, and the tall
flagstaff at the top of the cupola fell in
spiinters to the ground. Everybody was
very much frightened, as the house
shook and the electricity sped down the
elevator we'll and through the main hall
way. After the lightning struck, the
rods, which run all about the flagstaff,
acted as SO many magnets, and the light.
ming danced down the side of the hotel
into the ground below. 1t was very
narrow escape, and the guests stood it
very well. Manager Hill said it was the
worst thunder storm he had ever seen,
as the wind at one time promised to raise
perfect havoc with all the small houses
which surrounded the hotel.
The house and barn of Samuel Preble
near York Corner, were struck by light
ming, set on fire, and destroyed with the
contents. Loss, $4,000; insured for $500.

FOR FIVE WEEKS.

mence August 5.


mence August 5.
LEWISTON, July 26.-Tuesday, the di-
rectors of the Bates Manufacturing Com
pany at meeting held in Boston, de-
cided to close down the mill in all it's
departments on Saturday, August 9Th,
for five weeks. Notices to this effect
were posted at the mill this morning. All
hands will be settled with in full on
Tuesday and Wednesday, August Sth
and 9th. The Bates employs 1900 hands
and the value of it's annual product is
fully 81, ,50o,0 900. The monthly disburse-
ments are 1920, 900. The Bates is one of
the largest mills on colored work in
America and makes undoubtedly as
large variety of goods as any mill in
the world. The cause of the shutdown
is lack of sale of goods and the general
business condition of trade. The Bates
goods are very popular and no complaint
of quality is made. During the shut
down opportunity will be taken to make
some needed repairs in the mill.
