Circuit Court Matters.

Since Judge Webb arrived home he
has tried several cases during the past
week. The cases were all from Portage
county, as follows:
The trial Of the case of Z. J. Pfffner,
receiver, against the First National
bank, Emmons Burr, L. a. Pomeroy,
the Stevens Point Box Co, The ques-
ton at issue involved the right of the
First National bank 10 hold a certain
amount of stock which was hypotheca-
ted by Burr and Pomeroy to secure the
payment Of a loan obtained from the
bank; also whether the bank has the
right to hold the securities for the sum
of 81 800 or for the sum Of 10,500.
Brennan, Synou & Frost represented
the receiver and Raymond, LamoreuN
& Park the First National bank.
The case Of Oetker VS.. the Catholic
knights life insurance was argued,
Brennan and Frost appeared for the
defendants and w. F. Collins assisted
by Raymond, LamoreuX and Park foI
the plaintiffs. The case is peculiar and
involves a nice question of law. Oetke1
was insured for $1,000 in the Catholic
Knights. At the time of his death, he
willed $500 to his affianced wife, $500 tC
a church, $500 to defray his funeral ex.
penses, and the remaining $500 to his
mother. The Catholic Knights main.
tain that as the society is organized to
support only family and kindred, the
insurance cannot be willed as stated.

VIM. H. Luehr, one of the editors
and proprietors, of the Centralia
Enterprise and Tribune sold out his
interest in that paper to J. n. Brundage,
a brother OF E. B. Brundage. The

ton S1S50.00. Mr.. Luehr has not yet
fully decided what he will do We hope

here in the Twin Cities and remain
with us. Since his advent in our midst
as a teacher and publisher he has
formed many warm friendships. If he
should decide to leave Grand Rapids
for other fields he will go with the best
wishes Of his many friends.

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
Special Agent Ayers Report Show.
It's GROWING Favor

IIN UTUWIflH FHNUT.
Special Treasury Agent Aver has just
submitted his report covering the tin plate
industry of the United States for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1895.
The facts submitted show a marked in
cerase of the number of mills for rolling the
steel sheets, or "back plates" which form
the body of commercial tin and terne plates,
terne plates being plates which are coated
with a mixture of tin and lead, and which
are generally used for routing purposes.
The largely increased consumption of
steel sheets from American rolling mills
indicates not only the accelerated growth of
this branch of the industry, but an actual
preference for American rolled sheets,
both for coating and the uses to which the
finished plates are applied.
