The Captain of the Normannia Adj
mits That There Were Deaths on
the Vessel Before IL Reached North
ampton.
NETWORK. May 24.-The action brought
by Judge A. B. Beers of Bridgeport, Conn
against the Hamburg American Packet
company to recover $4,000 damages for
his detention on the steamer Nornsnnia
during the cholera quarantine in Septem-
bar last was continued in the United States
court.
Cortland s. Van Rensselaer,, a passen-
ger on the Normannis, testified that he
told the officers of the company that he
would not travel on the steamer
If storage passengers were aboard.
At the London Office of the
company an agent of the company
told him there were no steersge psssen-
gers. Witness first learned of the stesrsge
On the day of the arrival of the Norman
mia at New York the witness asked the
doctor If there was any cholera aboard and
the reply WAS "No."
Captain Hebiche of the Normsnnis was
called by the defence. He said the Nor
MAMMA was never nearer to Hamburg than
thirty miles. Before the steamer sailed he
had received clean bill of health from
the city of Hamburg, and also a certificate
that there were no contagious diseases
aboard. At Southampton several cabin
passengers complained of steersge pas
seBgers being aboard. He told them he
would wait ten minutes for them If they
wanted to leave the ship, but none went.
On cross-examinstion Captain Hebiche
admitted that there were two deaths from
cholera on board the Normannia before
the ship reached Southampton, where q
number of cabin passengers were taken
aboard.
Paul Calm, who came over as a steersge
passenger, testified that there was NO
effort made by the ships officers to hide
the fact that there were steerage psssen-
gers aboard.
The case was adjourned until next Fri
day.
Suits have been brought against the COM
pany by ]. II. Hawley and D. F. Read,
both of Bridgeport, Conn, who were pas
sengers on the Normannis last September.

HE DENIES THE CHARGES.

Ex-Commissioner Simonds Declares
That II Anyone Accused Him of H.
legal Acts While in Office He Would
Haul Him Into Court - Evidence
Will be Heard Before Referee.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The preliminary
hearing upon the petition of Church &
Church, attorneys for Daniel Drawbaugh.
asking that a rule be issued upon w. E.
Simonds, late commissioner of patents, and
Foster & Freeman, attorneys for the Amer
lean Bell Telephone company, to chow
cause why they should not be disbarred
from practicing before the department, was
given to-day by Commissioner Seymour.
1t is charged that with the connivance
of Messrs. Simonds, Foster and Freeman
and Chief Clerk Bennett copies of certain
records in the Drawbaugh telephone case,
presumably in the secret archives of the
patent Office had been unlswfully copied
in the interest of the Bell company. Com
missioner Seymour stated that he would
hear counsel upon the motion filed by
required to make their charges more
specific.
Melville Church then addressed the COM
missioner. He said that at present they
were unvble to make their charges more
explicit, nor was 1t In his opinion necesss-
~. He made a strong plea for q thorough
investigation. Arguments were also made
by J. ]. Starrow of Boston, attorney for
the Bell Telephone company, Judge Jere
Wilson of Washington, representing Fos-
ter and Freeman and Representative
Payeon of Illinois on behalf of Mr.. ST.
monds.
The latter also spoke in his own behalf.
He said the whole matter was treated in
strict accordance with the rules of the
Office. The 1880 Drswbsugh application
was an abandoned application, and q copy
of 1t was properly given. The 1884 appli-
cation was treated as a pending applics-
ton, and the copy was denied. If any
man would make q direct and specific
charge of acts committed by him while
commissioner of patents which were illegal
and wrong he (Simonds) would haul the
maker into court as hbeler with the ut
most expedition.
Commissioner Seymour stated that he
would to morrow announce the name of a
referee outside of Washington to hear the
evidence In the case. The commissioner
said he would at once iesue the rule petit
toned for and would give counsel until
tomorrow to arrange the petition.
