GHAN0ERY COURT.


Ctnnccry Court adjourned Tuesda,
last at II O'Clock, having been in SEES
sion nine days, The Ice Factory east
occupying The time Of the court /,
week. Chancellor Houston dismissed
the case saying that the comJlainants
remedy, If any was at law, not in
chanccry.
The suit OF the Ross Meehan Brake
Shoe Foundry Co. against the pasea-
goula Ice Company Of Scranton has
been concluded on Tuesday, and the
decree OF the court is against the com
%platnants, comdcmning the complain
ants to pay all costs, and to take
nothing upon their bill.
The suit was upon a promissory
note signed by the Ice Co. for $3.50
payable January 18th, 1893, with in
terest. The complainants sued for
the note, which they alleged was Sc
cured by Il vendors lein upon the
machinery Of the Pasclg0ula Ice Co.,
under hccOntract made By the South
ern Ice Machine Co., the builders Of
the machine, and by which the South
erh Ice Machine Co. was to retain the
title Of the machinery until it had
been completely paid for. The Ice
Company defended on the ground that
the ice machine was guaranteed a ten
ice machine and warranted to
make ten tons OF clear solid mercban-
table ice every twcnty-tour hours, and
that the machine was not competent
TO make the ice guaranteed. An I'M
mence quantity Of evidence was taken
by deposition under the Chancery prac-
tice b. both parties to sustain their
contracts. But the court decided that
the holder Of the notes, the Ross
Co. could not maintain their
for the reason that there was
no evidence to show that the original
contract had been assigned to that
company ana if they were owners of
hat contract they must proceed in a
,ourt Of law, because that contract re-
all right and title to the ma
sold in the Southern Ice Ma
thine Co. and as that company and
not the defendants held that title the
demand must necessarily be presented
n a court Of law and not in equity.
The Hon. e. j. Bowers and Col. 0. B.
defended the case and Judge
!. Brame, of Jackson appeared for the
omplainants.

"DEES' CHURCH SUIT
Editor DEMockAT-SrAR.

Editor pEMoCkAT-SrAR.
Referring to your notice of the above
suit in last weeks paper, it should be
known TO your readers that Special
Chancellor Bowers stated in his opin-
ion that the evidence in the case
showed that the amount in contro-
verSy was first intended as a loan, but
ut some later time | had changed my
purpose and made it a gift, and the
fact that had allowed the matter to
stand for eighteen years without try
ing to make the church pay the
amount, put tue burden of proof on
me to show that it was a loan and not
a gift. This was the legal question
before Chancellor Bowers and will be
the question appealed to the supreme
court. But in giving his opinion Mr..
Bowers felt constrained to plainly de-
clare, and that in the presence of the
pastor Of that church, Chancellor
Houston aud a full bar of attorneys,
that whilcthis was his legal opinion
and decree, yet it was very hard for a
man who had paid largely ovcr half
the expenses should be thrust out of
the church "witEout the semblancc
Of a trial"
Now, Mr.. Editor and readers. can a
Baptist Church Of Christ afford to
stand under such an opinion of us able
and impartial jurist, who has had all
the facts before him for a year?
In the name and for the respect and
honor of the eighty thousand baptists
OF the State Of Mississippi | declare
such acts unbaptistical and unscript-
ural, and while the legal decree of Mr..
Bowers is against me, his moral opin-
ion is ten times more against the acts
OF j. o. Green and his night conspira-
tors, as well as those who continue to
hold under their dark acts.

WHERE rs MR. OLDBERG9
Leading Figure In a Pension Office
Fraud Disappears.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1, 1S94.-Mrs. Ella
Clara Olberg, one of the parties to a
sensational case in which three employees
of the Government are concerned, In
cluding an official of some standing, has
disappeared in a mysterious manner on
the eve of the hearing of the trouble
in the police court The official con-
cernedIis Major Alexander A. Russell of
Missouri, a Special Examiner of the
gerry: Briefly, it is alleged that Russell
and Mrs. Olberg obtained large sum of
money by executing deeds of trust on
Olberg'S property. Russell signing Oh
berg's name and impersonating him be-
fore notaries public. Mrs. Ofberg is a
clerk in the Pension Office and became
acquainted with Russell through their
official relations.
The hearing of RusselPs case in the
Ing the preliminary hearing last week
the presiding judge intimsted that unless
the prosecution could produce witnesses
to show Russell's completely, the matter
would be dismissed. Mrs. Olberg is the
principal witness and she has not been
seen since Saturday morning
Private detectives have failed to find
a clue as to her whereabouts and they
are inclined to accept Mr.. Olberg's sus-
picion that his wife is not in her right
mind. Her mother became insane some
several peculiarities, once left home and
remained some time without informing
any one as to her whereabouts. The de-
tectiyes are working on the supposition
that Mrs. Olberg has been spirited
away to prevent her from testifying.

HIGHWAYMEN ON THE HILL
Pedestrians Held Up In Good Old
Garrnte6 StVfp

While walking along Palisade avenue,
near South street, Jersey City Heights, a
little before midnight. Saturday, Chas.
Hespe, of No. l76 Palisade avenue, West
Hoboken, was attacked by two foetpads
and relieved of 50 cents in change, note
book and latch key. They had barely
commenced to search him when they
were frightened away by the approach of
Chanceman Brady, whom they saw under
lamp post a block away. AS soon as
the men let go of him, Hespe called to
the officer for help, but before Brady
arrived the footpads were far away.
Hespe accompanied the officer to the
Sixth precinct station house and gave
the sergeant in command an account of
his experience. He said that he only
saw one of the highwaymen, and he was
a short, thick set man with black
derby hat. This one, he said, came from
behind a tree, after he had been grabbed
around the neck from behind by some
one who he said, evidently knew his
trade, for he was caught in such a man
ner as to prevent him from crying cut
or breaking away. While the one held
him. the short man went through his
pockets.
When the twelve o'clock squad went
out on duty they were instructed to keep
a special lookout for any men walking
in pairs answering to the above descrip-
ton, but there was not even man or
any description brought in.
