the effect that on July 10 Margaret Daley while on the drawbridge was caught by the vertical shaft which is exposed and was whirled around so that she struck the trusses and re- ceived injuries@ from the effects of which she died at the hospital on July F. Further that the specifications and plans adopted when the power house was erected on the bridge pro- vided that the shaft should be en- closed in a box. This the city and town failed to have done and because of the negligence of the two the child lost her life
 The city and town will probably claim that the child wound her dress around the shaft and that her death was due to her own negligence.

 Papers have been served by Deputy Sheriff Henry Spiegel in a suit brought by Frank T. Lane, the oysterman against Marcus P. Smith and the Nor ris & Cummings Dredging company of New York, John Leary and F. N. Ken sic.

Lane claims were deed to him in 1874 by the oytser commission.

Petition for a Receiver Opposed by the
 State Banking Officers.
 New York, Sept. 1.-Argument was heard in the supreme court before Jus tice Pryor to-day on the application of the majority of the directors of the Murray Hill bank for the appointment of a temporary receiver. James Mac Gregor Smith, as counsel for a major ity of the board of directors, and Sam uel Untermeyer, for the depositors' committee, presented the application
 It was asserted that some of the notes held by the bank were being protested, which. with the present financial sta- tus of the bank, inclined the directors to the belief that it would be for the best interests of, all concerned if tenn porary receiver was appointed.
 The appointment, it was asserted. would in no way interfere with any plan or reorganization which might be under consideration.
