George NEatheI's Sons Co.'s Case.

p cpcctut 10 thC jersey C1Iy 1fetCS.
TRENTON, Oct. 20, 1S94.-Chancellor
McGill rendered an opinion yesterday in
the matter of the State taxation of the
George Mathers' Sons Company. This
company was decreed to be insolvent on
the 4th day of April last and a receiver
appointed 1t was also enjoined from
disposing of it's assets and from exer-
cising it's franchise. The receiver was
subsequently authorized by the Chancel-
lor to continue the business of the COM
pany. The Attorney General gave no.
tce to the receiver that he would ap-
ply for an Injunction to restrain the
company from the further exercise of
it's franchises by reason of its non-pay-
ment Of the State franchise tax, which
is made by the statute a preferred lien
when the receiver took possession of
the assets of said company.
The receiver denied that such injunc-
ton, if granted would effect him in the
and at the same time claimed that such
additional Injunction would be useless,
as the court had already enjoined the
company from the exercise of it's fran
chise. The receiver did not ask to In
tervene as a party to the proceeding In
which the injunction was desired, fear
ing that upon such intervention he
might be bound by such injunction if is
sued, and the Attorney General did not
ask to make the receiver party to his
petition, but pressed the application
aginst the insolvent company.
The syllabus of the opinion is as fol-
lows;-
1"Where a receiver has been ap-
pointed for an fnsolvent corporation and
has taken possession of its assets and
exercises its franchises, he is a neces-
sary party to a petition by the State
for an injunction to restrain the. fur
ther exercise of any business of the
company by him. because of the non
payment of the State franchise tax.
2. Where an insolvent corporation is of
public character, it's property and
chise and the public being interested in
the continuance of its work. it's re-
ceiyer must pay the States franchise
tax, until the franchise of the corpora
tion shall be sold.
8. Where an insolvent corporation is
not the duty of the receiver to preserve
the franchise, and he Goes not, in fact,
exercise the franchise, he will not be
obliged to pay any other franchise tax
than that which was due at the time
OF his appointment, unless he shall
more than sufficient to pay its debts
and the expenses of the receivership
and then, before distributing to stock
holders he will pay any franchise tax
that may have been assessed subse-
quent to his appointment.
If a receiver of a private insolvent cor
poration shall continue ITS business, US
ing its franchise, he shall pay the
franchise tax assessed while he contin-
ued the business, using the franchise.
The receiver is directed oy the Chan
cellor to pay the tax at once
Chauncey D. Parker represented the
receiver, and Assistant Attorney General
VIM. Y. johnson the State.

PARIS, Oct. 20, 1894.-In regard to
the Cars illness the Figaro" says:-
Eminent physicians are of the opinion
that the symptoms of the malady do not
present the usual signs of renal disease.
It is certain that a sister of the Czarina
received an official message fortnight
ago saying that His Majesty was suf-
fering from tumor above his left
breast Doctor Zacharin expressed his
belief that it was of a cancerous nature
and that a successful operation was
impossible. On the other hand, Prof.
Loyden believed that the growth was OF
a mild type
The Figaro adds that the Car has
been badly nursed and that the arrange
ments for treating him at Layidia have
been of most primitive character.
The Figaro publishes an article
retrospective of the Cars illness which
is believed to have been furnished by
the Russian Embassy here. His Majes-
tvs malady, the article says, is the re-
suit of his attack of influenza, which de-
veloped into pleurisy in 1893. The Gar
had never fully recovered from that I'LL
ness, but he refused to listen to the al
vice of his physicians, believing that his
phenominally robust constitution would
carry him through eventually. He per-
sisted in performing his daily arduous
duties and with feeling of terror he
received his physicians certification that
he was AFFECTED with Bright's disease
This was made known to him on August
10, the anniversary of his first attack
of illness. He was accordingly removed
to Beloved Kaya, Poland, and from there
taken to Spale. From the latter place
he was removed to Livadia. These
changes did not produce any real effect
and the gravity of his relapses were
ninin1ized by the press until the crisis
came, when the Imperial family were
summoned
A despatch from st. Petersburg, re-
ceived here at 1:SO p. NJ. says the latest
news from Livadia represents the con-
dition of the Czar as SO grave as to
leave no ground for hope that he can
survive many days He is suffering
from extreme mental depression in ad-
dition to his PHYSICAL malady. There is
a public feeling of great impatience In
ST. Petersburg at the paucity of the
news from Livadia. Prayers for His
Majestys recovery are being offered up
from all parts OF the Empire. Many
persons are reassured when they learn
that the Car is able to be out of bed,
but those having intimate knowledge of
the facts have no hope of his recovery
or even of his temporary Improvement

PATERSON, Oct 90 1S94.-A large dele
cation of parishioners of st. Josephs
Roman Catholic Church, headed by Thos.
f. Leonard and James Gibson, called
at the residence of the rector, the Rev.
DIR. Sebastian B. Smith, this morning to
see Mgr. Satolli and present the views
of the congregation, a majority of whom
have signed a petition for DR.. Smiths
removal.
Arriving at the door of the pastoral
residence, Miss Carrie Smith, the house
keeper, refused to allow the parishioners
to enter, saying that the Papal Dele
gate had given orders not to allow any
of the members of the congregation
to enter. Messrs. Leonard and Gibson
forced the door open, when the delega-
ton entered the house. Secretary Papi,
who accompanies Mgr Satolli on all
his tours, soon appeared at the foot OF
the stairway and informed the delega-
ton that Mgr. Satolh could not be seen
and advised the spokesmen to call again.
Mr.. Leonard the chairman of the dele
cation, said that they would not leave
the house until they had an interview
with the Papal Delegate. Seeing that
it was impossible to get the crowd out
of the house Secretary Papi went up
stairs and soon returned with Mgr.
Satolli. When the latter made his ap-
pearance he told the delegation through
his interpreter that the difficulty be-
tween DR.. Smith and his flock had been
adjusted and that there was nothing
more to be heard on the subject.
Gibson maintained that the matter was
not settled After leaving the pastoral
residence, the delegation marched to the
rooms of the Catholic Club and decided
to hold a meeting of parishioners this
evening.

TO MAKE THE COUNTY PAY.
North Bergen's Suit for Election
Expenses.

In the Supreme Court this morning
ex-Judge Abel I. Smith began the ac-
ton of the township of North Bergen
against the county for $500 back pay of
election officers who served at the
election of 1890. The ground upon which
the action was fought was a claim that
the county should share the expenses
with the township. The F'reeholders re-
fused to pay any part of the cost. The
Supreme Court decided that the ex-
penses in cases of this kind should be
borne in part by the county and this de-
cision forms the basis of Judge Smiths
action. If Judge Lippincott upholds this
decision, Bayonne and the townships
and Jersey City can demand of the Free
holders total sum of $4,000 at every
County election.
