BY the death of Governor Marvii, OF
Delaware, the Speaker of the Senate
becomes Governor and the Democrats
again control the State. Thus the Re
publicans lose the fruits of the victory
gained at the last election. The Leg
islature, however, is Republican.

Gets Pay for His Potatoes.

An opinion affecting all carrying COM
panies, was recently handed down by
Justice John Dean, of the Supreme court.
1t is in the case Of George Ruppel against
the Allegheny Valley Railroad company.
Ruppel, commission merchant, shipped
l6i barrels of potatoes from Pittsburg
to Buffalo and prepaid freight charges
ofSll7.G7. The potatoes rotted in transit,
aud were unstable i'm Buffalo. lie sued
to recover and gained verdict of $50,
the value of the potatoes at Buffalo, with
a return of the freight paid. The COM
pany appealed, claiming it was not re-
sponsible for the damage
Ruppei's bill of lading contained a
stipulation that the amount of any loss
or damage should be computed at the
value of the potatoes at the place and time
of shipment, unless a lower value had
been agreed upon. Justice Dean decides
that railroad company is bound to
provide ears reasonably fit for the con-
veyance of goods it undertakes to carry.
lie says carrier cannot by contract. in
this State, limit his liability in a ease of
negligence. The defendant averred its
line ended at oil City, but the court held
that as the bill of lading stipulated no
intermediate stopping. and as the freight
was prepaid 10 Buffalo, the company
could no; now claim its liability ended at
Oil City. He affirmed the Judgment.
This decision means tnat all carrying
companies can be held responsible for
the value of goods at point OF destination
instead of shipment, as stipulated in
contracts.

He Leaves Washington Because There Il
Nothing to Keep Him There.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The report
that Hawaiian Minister Thurston is to
leave this city and go home is confirmed
He says he has received no information
from any official source that his recall has
been requested, but "There is nothing of
special Importance to keep me here at
requiring my attention ut home. l shall
therefore retuan to Honolulu Immediately,
leaving San Francisco April l." The state
department has been officially informed
of Thurston's intentions, and Hastings is
Famed as charge d'affaires.
Thurston's departure puts an end 20
previous comment as to his purpose to re-
main in Washington as thorn in the side
of the state department. His statement
docs not MAKE clear, however, whether
his absence is temporary or permanent
and the minister will not go into details.
1t is regarded as final, however in show
ing that he will not seek to remain in
Washington rs source of any irritation.
In some quarters Thurston's move is re-
garlcd IA shrewd diplomatic stroke. 1t
Is being suggested that his departure at
the present juncture, before it is known
what action the Hawaiian government.has
taken on Secretary Gresham's demand,
may result in his being ut Honolulu when
final action is taken. No Information has
yet come from Hawaii as to the course OF
the government.

BOSTON, March 27.-William H. Blair

ago charged with conducting an illicit
distillcry on Eastern avenue, where an
immense amount of Illicit rum and spir-
its were captured. Saturday last Blair
was indicted by the grand jury. The
authorities have unearthed evidence on
the face of which it is now alleged that
Blair's true name is Albert II. Abbott,
that he is n resident of Lafayette, Ind,
and that for four years prior to 1873 he
was a convict in the Massachusetts, state
prison under the name of John Lake.
He was convicted of insurance SWIM
ding, and the cleverest kind at that. He
is also alleged to have been the man who
agreed to deliver n block of colored votes
at the state election in 1898 in the Seven
teenth ward, Boston. He was called as a
witness last year ut the Seventeenth ward

Montana Mining, Loan, and Investment
Company Charged with Sending Nom
Maiiable Matter Through the Postodice
What the Concern Claims and What
IL Really -Prominent Men
Innoceutly Involved.
BUTTE, Mont, March .7.-Henry L.
Haupt, president Of the Montana Mining,
Loan and Investment company, is on
trial in the United States court here on
the charge of sending non-maiiable mat
ter through the postofiice. The testi-
mony introduced developed gigantic
swindling scheme in which many promi-
nent men are innocently involved. The
company claims to have a paid up capital
stock of 81, coo. 900 and its sto.1 valued at
sl20 share. 1. was organized in
January, 1892, and has been doing an ex.
tensive business since. On the rcprcscn-
tations, SO the government witnesses
said, that he intended to organize n legit-
innate mining company. Haupt induced

the state; ex-County Treasurer H. &.

prominent and wealthy men, to join.

With the names of these incorporators
he then went to all the banks and secured
permission to use their names as refer
ences. a dozen worthless mining claims
were located by him, as alleged, and deed
ed to the company in consideration of
500 in cash and the entire capital stock.
He then sent out circulars all over the
world advertising the property as highly
do
on n monthly installment plan, issuing
certificates at Il each. One hundred
thousand certificates were issued each
month, and the purchaser of each certifi-
cate was entitled to apply for loan in
any sum under 5000 The trustees of
the company We're said to meet every
month and appropriate $4,000 among
the borrowers. The person securing the
loan was required TO give a note the
amount payable in 1912, without inte crest
or security, and when the purchaser had
l20 certificates he was entitled to a share
Of stock.
Haupt the Sole Manager.
The remaining S5J,O0O from the month
ly sale of certificates was supposed to go
into office expenses and the development
of the company's mines. The testimony
at the trial showed Haupt was the sole
manager of the concern and reaped all
the profits. He apportioned the loans in
cities where he thought he should have
bigger returns and induce others to pur-
chase certificates. When the eminent in
corporators and the banks learned of the
nature of the company they drew out of
it, and the trustees withdrew the stock
from the market but this did not discon-
cert Haupt, for he selected new trustees
and continued his operations. The entire
property of the company is said to be
worth not over $1,000, and its mines,
which are located near Butte, to be worth
less. Haupt has offices in London, New
York, Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco
and other large cities
