A FAMOUS CASE

Amicably settled Yesterday . The
Adams Express Company vs.. Clapp
Spooner.
BRIDeEPoRT, Feb. 19.-The famous case
of the Adams Express company against sx-
Vice President Olapp Spooner of this city
has been amicably settled out of court, the
fual arrangements being completed 6atur-
day afternoon by stoddard, Bishop Il
Shelton, counsel for the company, and At
torneys Samuel Fesssnden and Judge W.
B. Glover, Mr.. Spooner's lawyers. The
terms of the settlement will not be made
public by the parties, but several transfers
Of valuable property belonging to Mr..
Spooner are recorded in the town clerks
Office in this city.
The suit was brought in March, 1891, all
the real estate of Mr.. Spooner being placed
under attachment. At the same time
similar action was brought against Presi-
dent John Hoey and shortly after Henry
Sanford of Bridgeport was elevated to the
presidency. The company claimed that
Directors Hoey, Spooner, Sherman and Il.
J. PARROT of Boston, had sold to the Adams
Co. the properties of the New York and
Boston Dispatch company and the Ktnsley
Express company, from which they real
lied large profits and instead of turning
this money over to the Adams Express
company had appropriated 1t to their own
uses. The total amount with accrued in
tersst was estimated at about $500, O0O and
1t was for this amount that the action was
brought.
M. Spooner claimed that the company
WAS not entitled to the profits of the
sale. BE said the bushes was done by the
Quartet % individuals, and although they
we're directors of the Adams Express COM
pany at that time they were not acting in
an official capacity. Immediately after the
purchaee of the express properties the
syndicate sold half interest to William B.
Dinsmore, then president of the Adams
company, and he transferred 1t to the cor
poration. Three years later they sold Mr..
Dinsmore the other half interest, and he
transferred it to the corporation. The
plaintiffs claim that the syndicate had I'M
loaded these properties upon the Adams
Express company at an exorbttant inquire
and pocketed the profits of the transaction.
The details of the settlement cannot be
definitely learned because the counsel are
retioent. They merely say it was satisfac-
tory to both sides, and there will be no
further suit While they do not admit
that Mr.. Spooner transferred any Of his
property to the Adams company or In any
way disposed of it to their advantage, the
town clerks records show that Mr.. Spooner
sold to Henry Sanford, president of the
Adams Express company, for $15, 600, q
certain tract of land containing 100 rods
on Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport; also .
perpetual right of way to Henry Sanford
over q certain strip of land on Harrison
court.
The following was transferred by Clspp
Spooner and his sons, Charles and Henry
Spooner, Saturday to the Bridgeport Saw
ings bank for sos 900, piece of properly
on Brooklawn avenue, one on Park ave ne,
another on Harrison street and fourth on
Golden Hill street. The latter ia the ele-

NO EXTRA SESSION.
still Considered Unnecessary by the
Governor.
Governor Morris adheres to his opinion
that no extra session of the general assem
bly, Is called for, although the Register
still maintains that such = step ought to
be taken. Governor Norris said yester-
day:
"It is q serious matter to call an extra
session." said he. at affects many peo-
pie and should not be done except for an
important matter. It seems to me that this
matter of the Hartford bridge is too trivial
to warrant such action.
"Thsn 1t also appears to me that It would
be useless to call the general assembly to
gether that hsd committed this alleged
wrong, to act on its own doings. We are
within few months of another election
and new general assembly, when action
can be taken If any wrong was done.
Gas said before, to call the general as
| semb,y is a serious matter. The governor
has the power to assemble them, but b.

them together to do just one thing, ant

knowing what they would do.

in this matter, but people come to me ant
talk about 1t. I read the papers and hav'

Bulletin No. Al, containing the Analyses
Of Commercial Fertilizers licensed in this
State, has just been published by the Yer
mont Agricultural Experiment Station, at
Burlington. 1t is a sixteen page pamphlet
with analyses of fifty-three brands COM
pared with their guarantees and valuations.
1t also contains discussion of trade values,
average composition of goods compared
with those sold last year and a review of
the fertilizer business of the State for the
past ten years.
The bulletin is summarized in plain
black type on the first page. The main
points brought out are that:
l. More brands are sold in the State this
year than ever before.
2 While but one-third of the brands are
entirely up to guarantee five-siXths of them
give the commercial equivalent of their
guarantees, there being sufficient excess of
some ingredients to compensate for def
cienceS of others,
The average composition of the goods
sold this spring is the poorest known in the
past ten years. This is largely due to close
competition and the increased cost of
organic nitrogen.
Copies of this or previous issues are
mailed free of charge on request.

Protecting Cottolene,

The N. X. Fairbank Company of Chicago
have lately brought suit in the United
States Court against w l.. Henry, of this
city, TOR $5,000,00 for infringement of their
bank Company sets forth thnt they origi-
mated, prepared and put upon the market
a new food product consisting of refined
Cotton Seed Oil and small proportion of
Beef Suet, making pale yellow material
of the consistency and substance of lard,
almost without OdOr and intended to take
the place of lard in cooking.
In order to indicate the source and genu-
inenesS of their new food product. they
originated, coined, and use as trade mark
the word "Cottolene." The healthfulness
and many other advantages of Cottolene
over lard were so apparent that COttOlene
became at once very popular and is now
largely sold all over the country.
The new food product and its name
"COttOlene" have become widely known as
the product of The n. K. Fairbank Com
pany. The trade mark is described as a
trade mark for OleaginOus Food Sub
stances, &C." consisting of head or neck
of Steer or other bovine partially enclosed
by sprigs and branches of the Cotton
plant"
The n. X. Fairbank Company charges
that W. l.. Henry, of Macon, Ga, dealer
in fresh meats and food products generally,
has been and is endeavoring unlawfully to
avail himself of the benefits of the name
"Cottolene" and its popularity; that he has
been and is selling a product similar in
kind, but inferior in quality, under the
name of ''COttolene" to the injury of the
original and genuine "COttolene," and to
the loss and injury of its manufacturers
The n. X. Fairbank Company.
The infringements upon the trade mark
of "Cottolene" have become 50 frequent,
and so many dealers are selling an inferior
