HORSE FOLLOWED FUNERALS.
A Louisville Steed That Caused His Mis-
tress Deep Modification.

"Some years ago, said Alderman
James {. Gilbert to reporter, Il had
a tenant down town who died leaving
wife and helpless family. Their only
property consisted of AN old mare. and
more to oblige them than anything else
| bought the horse. She was gentle and
my wife adopted her for her own driv-
ing, and was much pleased for awhile,
as the old mare was so gentle that my
wife could drive her about town herself
1T seemed, however that the mare
had once belonged to an old lady over in
New Albany who had a mania on the
subject of funerals and made n point
never to miss one. The old mare :
principal occupation for years had been
to follow funeral professions to the
cemeteries. One day my wife was driv
ing down the street, when she suddenly
encountered "a negro funeral, followed
by number of societies with all the
paraphernalia of an imposing cortege
1.-THE old mare recognized the process
sion at glance, and calmly turned in
to the line of the parade In vain my
turn out. The old mare knew her bust
ness, and with head hung down solemn
ly followed close behind the mourners.
Occasionally they would meet an ac-
quaintance of ours, and they looked
with surprise at the tribute which my
wife was apparently paying to the de-
ceased, until my wife was frantic with
modification and anger.
At every crossing she would appeal
to bystanders to stop the old mare, but
they didn't seem to understand, until
at last they passed policeman, who, in
response to my wifes fearful appeals,
stopped the old mare and dragged her
out of the procession, much to her sur
prise and disgust. OF course l had a
good laugh over it, but it was no laugh
ing matter with my wife, and l had no
peace till l sold that old mare and got
her out Of sight for good. louisville

To Certain Subscribers.

In February last we mailed state.
ment to certain subscribers who were
owing us eight dollars or more on the
REPORTER subscription list. requesting
early payment and notifying them that
unless payment was made at an early
day we should be obliged to place the

We have delayed taking this step in
order to give subscribers Who owe us,
every reasonable opportunity to pay
without additional expense. Some have
availed themselves of this delay and have
paid us the sums due, but by far the
larger number have paid no attention to
our request and we are, therefore, obliged
to take further measures to collect sums
of money honestly our due and which we
greatly need.
We therefore advise all the delinquent
subscribers to Wh0n This eftra notice has

A Somerset Case.

The following decision of a Somerset
county case has been received by Clerk
of Courts Brainerd.
William X. Laneey VS.. Obed Foss ct
al, executors. Reseript. Emery, j.
In March, 1873, the plaintiff brought
suit upon numerous notes of Going
Hathorn, the defendants testator, and
upon an account annexed, and also upon
| a special contract. Subsequently in the
same year the plaintiff became bankrupt
uader the act of lS67, and received his
discharge in 1879. His assignee duly
appointed, did not appear in the case,
nor did the bankrupt's schedule of as
| sets set forth any of the notes, accounts
or claims embraced in the suit, which
stood on the docket without further dis
position until March, 1892.
Held. That such items of estate, cor
poreal and ineoporeal, as the assignee
| declines TO appropriate or utilize. remain
| the property of the bankrupt, subject al
| ways to the superior right aud title of
the assignee. Notwithstanding the
| adjudication and assignment under the
bankrupt act, there is left in the bank
rupt right which makes title good
against all the world except his assignee
aud creditors, who may appropriate the
entire title and interest, and SO diyest
the bankrupt completely; bur what they
decline to appropriate remains with the
bankrupt, who can defend or enforce it
against all others.
Also, that II the defendants desire,
they can have an order of notice of this
action served upon the assignee, which
will conclude him of record.
1t appears in the case that the assignee
did not take over the title. He elected
| not to take it and left it In the plaintiff.
He neither took nor passed the title.
The plaintiff thus retaining the title SUBJ
iect to the assgnee's paramount right,
but good against others until such para
mount right is asserted. Held, that the
two years limitation (Rev. Stat of L. s.,
par $3.50 does not apply as bar to this
action. That statute bars only the as
signee and those claiming under him.
The statement, in the facts agreed in
this case, of the commission to include
these claims in the bankrupt's schedule
of assets is not statement of fraud.
There may have been innocent reasons
for it, and the court cannot assume that
| it was fraudulent. The fraud, If any,
was against the assignee and creditors,
and not against these defendants.
Action to stand for trial.

A New Hampshire Company.

The special report made by Hon.
Charles X. Written, as bank examiner,
to the Governor and Council upon the
condition of the Granite State Provident
Association of New Hampshire, with the
letter of Governor Cleaves to the new
bank examiner, the reply of the presi.
dent Of that association, and the ex-
PLANTATION made by Mr. Written, giving
reasons for his report, make up a chapter
in State affairs at Augusta of more than
usual interest
When Mr.. Written entered upon the
duties of bank examiner he found this
New Hampshire Association doing busi-
ness in Maine by virtue of a license is
sued by his predecessor. Early in his
second year he investigated the associa-
ton as far as practicable with his other
duties, joining the New Hampshire
authorities in their annual examination.
He did not like the methods of the con-
Germ and in his annual report for 1894
said so in order to put the people of
Maine upon their guard until more eriti-
cal examination could be made.
When the legislature met in January
1895 he recommended to the Banking
committee certain amendments to the
statutes in the direction of further secu-
rity to the patrons of this and kindred
associations. This committee was favor
ably impressed with the measures pro-
posed by Mr.. Written but the president
of the association appeared before the
committee with counsel and many friends
of the company, demonstrating against
the proposed measure urging that it
would drive them out of the State and
proposing joint examination of the
affairs of the association by the bank ex-
amners of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Connecticut, New York and New
Jersey. This proposition the committee
agreed TO and authorized the bank ex-
aminer to make the examination and re-
port TO the Governor and Council.
Mr.. Written says he was ready to en-
ter upon this examination April LIST, but
it was not until June 4th that all the
examiners of the other states were
ready to proceed. The examination was
made with the aid of expert account
ants, the summer months being devoted
to 1t and it was arranged that the ex-
aminers should meet In Boston Sept. 80
and If possible decide upon Joint report
but Mr.. Written found he was going out
of office and determined to make it to
the Governor and Council as directed by
the legislature before ne vacated the
office. A new official who had not beel.
through the work of examination could
not have the knowledge of the affairs of
the company that he did and he felt it to
be his duty to make the report while he
was bank examiner, and he did so.
The report was not complimentary to
the management of the association and
the financial statement was greatly
modified by it, so that a surplus of
$l52,000 was.made to show, in. dividend
producing property, a deficit of $4,000.
OF course the president of the company
kicked" at this and appeared in sever
al columns of remonstrance in the Port
