The Metxerott Pronertx.

A petition was presented in the Equity
Court today by Attorneys Edwards and
Barnard on behalf of Job Barnard and Jos.
E. Luckett, assignees of .he firm of w. G.
Metzerott & Company. praying that the
trusts created by the deed of assignment
of October II, 1893, be executed under the
supervision and direction of the court, and
the funds distributed to the proper parties
entitled thereto. Also, that the matter be
referred to the auditor of the court to state
the account of the petitioners, to notify
creditors. take proof and report the proper
distribution of the funds.
The aSSignee3 state that they have in
hand about $4,000 for distribution, which
is insufficient for the payment OF the debts
in full, and must, therefore, be distributed
pro rata among the creditors of the firm.
They therefore ask the aid of the court in
the matter, explaining that they are in
! formed that the schedule of liabilities at
tached to the deed of assignment is not q
full and complete list of the creditors of
the firm. The amounts differ too, they
say. and they are informed that certain
creditors had, before the assignment was
made, received collateral security for their
claims, for which they should render an
account before participating with the I'M
secured creditors in a distribution of the
find. Many creditors are unknown, it is
said.

TWENTY MILLION FRESHMEN.
Ready to Strike n Blow to Make Old
Erin Free.

Ready to Strike n Blow to Make Old
Erin Free.
Ex-Congressman Finerty made vigorous
address before the Irish-American conven-
ton at Chicago yesterday afternoon. The
various attempts of IriShmen to make the
English government listen to reason were
recapitulated by the speaker. the first and
only one that accomplished the desired re-
suit being in his opinion, the Fenian move
ment. Where Isaac Butt, Charles Stewart
Parnell ard other leaders have fallen the
Fenian movement has succeeded When the
kenian movement was killed the ears of the
English government were closed to reason.
The speaker continued: There are those
who fear that We may do something here
against the laws of the United States. Our
loyalty to the United States is shown in the
stars and stripes on-our platform here but
our loyalty Is a ma tier entirely Independent
OF and separate from the neutrality laws
when has England paid any attention
TO neutrality laws? Certainly not in Ire
iand, where her very presence is a stand
ing memorial Of her breach of neutrality
laws. If France had said to Washington.
as Is frequently said to us nowadays OBJ
serve the neutrality laws you and l. gem
tlemen, would still be serfs and dependents
Of the British, as our unfortunate breth
rem in ireland. Though there be COM
paratively few 1rishmen left in Ireland to
bear the blows of the oppressor thare are
OVO.OOO of Irishmen, in every part of the
world, ready and anxious to strike the
blow that shall make the old country
free"
In conclusion. Mr. Finerty said:
I'VE are here to proclaim to the world
that the Irish race Is by no means de-
feated or dshcartened. There are more
lrishmen today than were ever on the face
of the earth before Well circle England
with wall of fire which shall never be
extinguished until Ireland Is free"

Legal Decision Relating to Withhold.
ing Contract Money. .

Legal Decision Relating to Withhold
ing Contract Money.
Judge Cole, in the case of the United
States against James B. Coegrove, a mail
contractor, and Benjamin Fryback and T.
E. Holloway, his bondsmen, today rem
dered a decision of great interest and i'm
portance both to the Post Office Depart
lnent and to mail contractors.
In entering the suit some time ago the
government alleged that in 1892 Mr.. Cole
grove contracted to carry mail route be-
tween Glen Hope and Iroona, Pa, for four
years. but performed the service for but
one year, viz, from July l, 1S93 to July l.,
1894. Mr.. Colegrove received pay for the
first two quarters, but when the govern
ment withheld payment for the last two
quarters he refused to further carry the
route. The government withheld payment
for the last two quarters on the ground
that Mr.. COlegrove was indebted to sub
contractors on other routes contracted to
be carried by him. and to such subcon-
tractors the government paid the amount
due him on the Glen Hope-Iroona route,
claiming that such payment was author
lied by the act of Congress of May 4, 1882
and that the payment was in reality one
to Mr.. Colegrove.
Mr.. Colegrove maintained that the gov
eminent was not so authorized, and re-
fusing to further carry the Glen Hope
Iroona route because of such action of The
government, the government sued to re-
cover the amount of the bond $500 for
such alleged default of Mr.. Colegrove to
fulfill his contract The case came up
before Judge Cole several weeks ago. when
the right of the government to divert
funds due a contractor on one route for
payment of subcontractors of his on an
other was raised
In deciding the matter today Judge Cole
held that such a course could not be pur-
sued by the government, although he held
that where a contractor defaulted on one
route the government could withhold pay
ments due him on that and other routes as
well. And the court held. too, that where
principal failed to pay his subcontractor
on one route the government could apply
withheld payments on that particular
route to the subcontractor on it only.
1t is said that Judge Coles decision to-
day will prevent the further following of
a custom followed by the Post Office De-
partment for several years, viz, that of
applying withheld payments on one route
to payment of subcontractors of the prin-
cipal on other routes. 1t Is thought that
the case will be carried to the Court of
Appeals by the government.
