RUSIE SUES FOR HIS RELEASE.
HE ALSO WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
FROM THE NEW YORK CLUB.

Right of Reservation Exercised by
the League Clubs VIII Have no
Legal Standing II He Carries His
POint-The Combination of the
National League Declared UnIaw-
full in His Petition to the Court.
Chicago ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Failing to secure
his release from the New York Base Ball
Club at the hands of the National League.
Amos Rusie, the Indianapolis player, filed
a bill for an injunction in the federal
court this morning to secure his release
by legal process. Incidentally, Rusie's
application to the court means more than
his personal release, If granted. 1t means
that the right of reservation, exercised
by the base ball clubs, has no legal stand
ing and makes an open field at the close
of each season for the contracting of
players for the following season.
Rusie, in his bill, sets forth that in 1895
he played with the New York club under
a contract for 50. 800. All contracts under
the national league constitution and rules
give to the contracting club the right to
reserve a player once contracting with 1t.
The player is bound to accept the reser-
walton and the contract rendered under it
unless he can secure his release through
his purchase by some other club in the
association. After reciting these facts,
Rusie says that a player cannot engage
himself to any other club until he has
been released. At the close of last years
season the New York club notified Rusie
that he was reserved. A contract was
afterward rendered him at 50 400 salary for
the season of 1896 He refused to sign
and the New York club refused to release
him. Expecting to be released by the
limitation this year, Rusie waited. To
his surprise the New York club announced
his reservation. He appealed to the Ma
tional League, which decided yesterday
that the New York club had the right of
continued reservation.
The bill for injunction declares that the
combination of the national league is I'M
lawful and unreasonable, and If enforc-
ed, will work irremedial hardship to the
complainant. The prayer of the bill is
ito restrain and enjoin the defendant
from asserting any claim or right to the
services of your orator in the line Of his
profession, or from asserting any claim or
right that any other corporation or asso-
citation cannot employ or engage the SER
vices of your orator in his profession
In addition, Rusie began a suit at law
for the recovery of 5000 damages by rea-
son of the conduct of the New York club
in preventing him from following his pro-
feSSiOn.

GoRDoN's LOVE OF OLD GLORY.
He Fills n Rochester Audience with
Patriotism.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 12.-There was a
touching scene at the conclusion of Sen
ator j. B. Gordon's lecture on THE Last
Days of the Confederacy'' before the Lin
coin Club last evening. Gen. Gordon
spoke for two and half hours, under APP
peals to ''go on. go on" In concluding, he
said, "as 1 stand her tonight in your
presence, and in the presence of the great
God, who is the Judge of us all, as the Sc
lected chief of all the living confederate
soldiers, l want to present to you, my
honor the honor of all the living confed-
crates, the honor of a great people, that
we are ready to join with You in waving
aloft this proud banner (Here he caught
up the American flag from the table and
held it above his head, and we join with
you and all who love that flag in saying
that by Gods help there shall never
come to it one blot or stain; that as long
as the ages remain that flag shall be the
proud and potent emblem of human free
dom in all this world" The large audi
ence arose as one man and fairly went
wild with enthusiasm. Old soldiers with
empty sleeves and hobbling on crutches
rushed forward with tears streaming
down their cheeks and greeted their for
mer foe. Gen, Gordon was much affected.

The Nevin Case at Atlanta Decided
Against the Plaintiff.

Atlanta, Ca. Nov. 12.-The case of
Nevin, administrator of the state OF
Shanklin, against the United States Life
Insurance Company, to recover 5000 on
a policy of insurance, was decided to-day
In favor Of the insurance company, and
the costs of the suit were charged against
the plaintiff.
James d. Shanklin was insured for SO 900
I'm favor of his wife. Rachel /. Shanklin,
who died before her husband. The petit
tion declared further that Shanklin CON-
piled with all the terms of the contract
until twenty semi-annual payments mad
been made. He bec-sIe insane in 1893,
at which time he MADE his first failure in
the payments. Nevin was appointed guar
dian for Shanklin and administrators OF
the estate of Mrs. Shanklin. Nevin al
leges that he offered to pay the past que
premium, but the company refused to ac-
cept the money. Shanklin died the same
year. The administrator demanded paw
ment of the policy, but 1t was refused.
and suit was brought. Since filing the
suit, Nevin has died, and his wife, Helen
A. Nevin, was appointed in his stead. The
defendant contended that the express con-
dition of the contract required the in

that insanity was no excuse for non-pay-
ment

For fifteen years Mr.. Inman has served
as an active and an efficient director

lost one of its ablest, warmest and most
devoted friends.
Familiar with financial and commercial
affairs in all their various branches, he
brought to our councils a mastery intel
lect, guided by a broad experience, and
sustained by an exalted standard of NOR
atty.
He was public spirited citizen, direct
ing his efforts at all times in the channels
of commendable enterprise and beneficial
development. His fellow members of this
board, having tested him in the trials of
manhood, courage and confidence, realize
In sorrowful unison with his relatives and
his many friends, the magnitude of this
bereavement to the circle of his home,
where his affection, generosity and devo-
ted interest always found their most Law

Those of us that remain charged with
the safe guarding of the destinies of this
bank linger sadly before uttering the
long farewell to our colleague, companion
and friend, John H. Inman.

WHISKY TRUST REBATES.
Judge ShOwaIter Decides Against
the Holders of Claims.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Judge Showalter
of the United States circuit court has
given an extended opinion in the old
whisky trust rebate case, which was pass
ed upon some time ago by Special Master
Patton adversely TO the holders of rebate
vouchers, which had been issued by the
trust and the conditions of which have
been broken by the original holders.
Nose Solomon had bought lot of these
questionable papers and sought to recover
Its face value. About 100000 of similar
claims have been presented in the federal
court.
Judge Showalter holds that Master Pat
ton was right in dlsallowing the claims;
that the rebate vouchers constituted con-
tracts; that the conditions as to the hold
ers being entitled to a rebate of Z cents
a gallon If they purchased their require
ments of the trust exclusively for six
consecutive months, was not illegal and
that the holders who have broken the
conditions cannot recover.
Directly this ruling affects the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company, but IN
directly it upholds the same trade regula-
ton of such corporations as the sugar
Trust, the Spool Cotton combination ana
the Arbuckle Bros Company Substan-
TALLY all the claims against the old whis-
ky trust are now wiped out, except a few
uninportant ones which are pending on
some of the leases which the trust con-
tracted. Under direction of Judge Show
alter, Receiver McNulta refused these
leases. A test case on the alleged liens
was decided against the claimant, and
1t is now before the special court of APP
peals, and representatives of other cor
porations are said to be sharing in the
defense.

AN EXPENSIVE DINNER.

1t Cost at the Rate OF Seven Hundred Dol
lars Plate.
History of the cuisine fairly teens
with descriptions of costly meals,'' re-
marked resident of Brooklyn recent
ly to a writer for the Washington Star.
I'VE read how that prohigate Hello
gabalus, the Roman emperor, had
single dish on his table once that cost
two hundred thousand dollars, and how
another Roman, Aelin Verus, gave
supper to a dozen cronies that cost
quarter of a million dollars. Then
Vitellius, still another Roman and an
emperor, likewise entertained his
brother at a little smack that used up
a couple of hundred thousand; but
these were ancient fellows, who had
nightingales' tongues and humming
birds brains and similar marvellous
dainties. Coming down to modern days
and plain, ordinary, everyday ham and
eggs, L ate supper once in this very
town that cost a friend of mine four
teen hundred dollars. A gentleman
named Parker kept an establishment
devoted to entertaining gentlemen at
Sundry games of chance. One night
the friend L speak of and myself were
killing an evening here together, when
we conceived the idea that visit to
Parker's would be just the thing. We
put it into execution at once. l have
never gambled in my life, and my
friend has not done it since. We went
upstairs and entered the room just as
supper was announced. My friend did
not want to eat anything, but I was
hungry, and when some plausible ras-
cal of a dealer told me that there was
broiled Smithfield ham fianlxed with
pullets' eggs as sort of side issue to
the otherwise gorgeous feast broke
for the supper room, despite my com
panion's pleadings. OF course he fol-
lowed me when he found his protesta-
tions were useless, and we enjoyed the
feed immensely. When we came out
my friend pulled out twenty-dollar
bill and said he would play a turn or
two to pay for our supper. begged
him in turn not to do it, but he was as
obdurate as L had been. He lost his
twenty-dollar bill and tried to get it
back. In two hours fourteen hundred
dollars were gone glimmering. l have
never felt SO downright hungry since
that slight request from mere ac-
quaintance cannot keep me away from
a dead-head feed
