post and had the usual experience of such
churches in a congregation small in num-
bers and depending upon devoted few for
its support. The region in its vicinity
gradually developed and st. Luke's grew
and prospered.
At last Rev. Mr. Davis was called as its
pastor and under his minstration the
church rapidly increased in mem bership.
During his ministry st. Luke's was en-
larged and advanced to a leading place in
the diocese. In the iberality of its con-
tributions the church always took lead
ing place. The congregation increased,
and from low position it became one of
the most powerful and aristocratic in the
State.
Mr.. Davis, during his ministry, clam
ored for a new church, but the vestry was
not with him, and finally he resigned and
was succeeded by the present rector, Rev.
w. Fl. Moreland, who took up the WORK
and gathered the forces together until
there is now not more united, devoted
and altogether congenial parish than st.

A. N. Drown, senior warden of the

account of the general financial depres-

the necessity of new church had become

MAN|PULAIORS OF STOCK
Grave Charges Against the
Directors of a Local
Corporation.
Officials Who Are Said to Have
Voted Themselves Anything
They Desired.

There is flne row in the directorate of the
American Composition Pipe and PileArmor
Company. E. F. Badgley, J. G. Fitzsim-
mons and James NJ. Kelly have sued A. B.
Hunt, Peter Tautphaus, H. c. Capwell and
L. E. Ashley, directors of the company,
for $92, 900, damages sustained by the de-
probation in value of the stock of the COM
pany, and pray for decree of court set
ting aside an assessment of 5 cents per
share levied on the capital stock of the
company by the defendants.
The plaintiffs allege that they are the
owners of the majority of the stock of the
company, but that the four defendants
conspired to get control of the stock and
affairs of the corporation, and resorted to
Illegal means 10 secure the desired end.
The bylaws of the company provide
that there must be five directors present
at a meeting to constitute a quorum, but
that in defiance of this rule the defend
ants met and issued an order offering for
sale on the public market 20, 900 shares of
the capital stock, which were in the treas
ury of the company, ana purchased them
through an agent for 10 cents per share,
when, it is alleged, s. per share could have
been obtained from other persons.
The defendants are also charged to have
subsequently held an illegal meeting, at
which, against the wishes of the stock
holders of the corporation and without
their consent and with fraudulent pur-
pose, they changed the rule providing for
a quorum of five and reduced the number
to three. They caused an assessment
of cents per share to be levied upon the
stock, knowing the plaintiffs could not
afford to pay it, and that hence their stock
could be sold as delinquent and bought in
by the defendants.
The day set for the sale of delinquent
stock is June 20, and therefore the
plaintiffs pray that an injunction be issued
restraining the defendants from collecting

SAYS THE CASE rs WON.
Attorney Van Duzer Announces This
Fact Before the San Miguel Defense
Association.

The big Republican demonstration down
town last evening, perhaps, had some ef-
feet on the meeting of the San Miguel De-
fense Club.
The principal business of the club was
postponed until next Saturday evening.
The meeting was brief, and was adjourned
q half hour after being called to order.
For the benefit of the members present
Secretary Van Duzer, also attorney for the
club in the Noe litigation, briefly re-
viewed the main features of the trial so
far as it has progressed. He concluded by
saying: 1.-THE case does not arise
even to the dignity of blackmail. All
that is necessary is to see that there is no
default entered against you. Mr.. Kos
cialowski told me himself that he ex-
pected to be defeated, but that he was
determined to appeal TO the Supreme
Court. The case is won, and there can be
no chance on this earth for the Noe heirs
to obtain any title on this property"
The matter OF appointing delegates TO
the charter convention, as requested by
the Merchants Association, was laid over
until the next meeting. The secretary
announced that the present membership
of the club had increased to 832 members.

ITALIANS CLOSE SCHOOL,
Dialogues, Plays and Clever

Graduates Are Rewarded With Prizes
and Their Friends Loudly
Appl aud.

An informal reunion was held yester-
day evening in Union-square Hall to cele-
brate the graduation of about forty pupils
of the Italian Free School. The large hall
was filled with over 300 children and their
parents ana friends. In the first row sat
the administrative council of the school,
consisting OF DIR. ]. Pescia, honorary presi-
dent; P Barbieri, G. Tacconi, G. Luisi, L.
Tore, V. w. Monti, A. L. Baccigalupi.
a long and int erestinG programme was
given by the pupils of the school. The
number which aroused the greatest
amount of enthusiasm was an amusing
farce called "Asturie Giovanili' whic h
the children acted with almost the spirit
and verve of professionals.
The play told how number OF young
people conspired to drive an elderly lady
away from a country village where she
had intended to rusticate with her niece
for the summer. Angela Ghibaudi, as an
arrogant washerwoman, bore off a large
portion of the honors, though the follow
ing young ladies all sustained their
Italian roles excellently: Emma Gron-
dona, Maria Ferroggiaro, Maria Brusco,
Matide Gagliardo, Maria Foppiano, Geno-
veffa Foppiano, Caterina Schiatfino, Luisa
Razzetto, Lima Ertola, Ida Bedoni, Ersilia
Landucci, Camelina Vaienziana, Maria
Valenziana.

work of the school, was cleverly sustained
by Maria Zaro. Emilia Lucchetti, Anna
Macche, Emilia MAITLAND, Adeiina De-
martini, Elvira Denegri, Teodolinda Tao
conf, Emma Bianchi, Matilde Mario. But
the girls did not bear off all the blushing
honors. Though the boys did not give
comedies or dialogues their recitations,
however, were well delivered, and some OF
them were hailed with such bursts of ap-
Iplause the minute they appeared on the
platform that it was evident their reputa-
tion as artists had preceded them.
Adolfo Schenone recited Giuseppe
Garibaldi''; Vittorio Figoni gave "II YER
sillo d'Italia"; Enrico Bruseo was ap-
plauded for '1talia Libera ed Una"; Luigi
Demart1ni gave I'm Casa Nostra," and
Silvio Tacconi recited 'Gioie di una
Madre."
The other recitations were: Pietro
Gaddi, "AlIa Patria"; Natalie Soldati, ''Le
ire Fiamme"; Cesare Bossi, "La Bandi-
era"; Carlo Tore, Il Bimbi Italiani" :;
Dismo Denegri, Il Mille'; Rudolfo
Monti, "LItalia'; Tomei Domenico,
''Silvio Pellico.''
One little girl, Elisabe Pellegrini,
gave recitation. The pIo-Consul, Dr.
Pescia, was presented with bunch of
flowers by Giorgio Ferroggiaro, who also
read poem in his honor; Carlo Schiatfino
made a speech of thanks to the friends of
the school, and the exercises ended with
the distribution of a mum Der of handsome
prizes to the graduates and the leaders of
the junior classes.
