FRANKLIN PAPER COS. PLANT.
Chancellor MeCiH Orders That the
Receiver May OHTer II For Sale.

The receiver of the franklin Paper
Mills Company of Hoboken, through his
counsel, Mr.. Otto Grouse, asked Chan
cellor McGill this morning for an order
directing the sale of the plant and ma
| chinery of the insolvent corporation. He
| said that there were certain liens against
the property, the legality of which he is
| about to attack
Mr.. W.-D. Edwards said, as counsel for
James Curran, who holds a $4,000 mort
| gage, and John H. Brunig, who holds one
| for $1,000 on the company's property, he
had no objection to the sale only he de-
| sired to have as a unit and split up into
parcels.
Mr.. Edwards also represented the
| Pagan Iron Works Company, which cor
! poration did not object to the proposed
| sale. Counsel explained that against the
Paper Mills Company there were about
| $1,000 or $1,000 worth of water taxes due
to the city of gHoboken and there was a
| mortgage on the property to the Hoboken
Trust Company for $4,000.
Counsellor Charles L. Carrick, repre-
senting the Slater Engine Company, OBJ
jected to the receiver selling the $4,000 en-
CINE, because it was sold to the paper
company co~nditionally. The title of the
engine was not to pass unless the amount
of its cost had been paid. Only $500 had
been paid on it,
Counsellor Keasbey also had ar objec-
ton. His clients, an engine company,
had lien on the real estate and he
| wanted to know where he came in if the
property was to be sold.
Counsellor Otto rouse wished to sell
| the property in lots, but Mr.. Edward
objected, saying that as there only needed
fires to start the works it would destroy
It's value to split into lots such a COM
plete plant.
Chancellor McGill bridged the difficulties
by signing an order directing the receiver
first to offer the property In its entirety
with the right, title n interest in the
engine; then after the property without
the engine, and then, after, the right,
title and interest in the engine separately.
| The respective bids would enable the re-
ceiver to ascertain that best for the
creditors and at the same time not inter
| fere with the doubt as to the validity of
the engines. sale and the lien claimed by
Mr.. Keasbey, all of which points will be
| determined later.

Dr. Temple. the recently appointed
Archbishop of Canterbury, has the dis
tinction of being probably the only man
who has refused to yield to the will of
the Emperor of Germany. When the lat
ter was visiting England, says a writer
in the Boston Transcript" he sent a re-
quest to DR.. Temple to call upon him.
The time of the Bishop of London is al
ways fully occupied. To make even a
formal call on the Emperor of Germany
at a time when, owing to his visit, pas
senger and vehicular travel was almost
at a standstill in the streets OF London,
meant the giving up of nearly a whole
day, every minute of which was filled
up with most important episcopal en-
gagements. Actuated, therefore, by a
high sense of duty, Bishop Temple de-
clined to go, saying 1t was impossible
for him to comply with the Emperor's
request. The bearer of the message was
thunderstruck at these words, and said:
MY lord, neither ! nor anybody else ever
of Germany IT can't help it, said
Bishop Temple, you must convey it
now" And he never made the desired
call E ss4

AT Kearny Saturday afternoon an as

the American cup tie for the champion-
ship between the Cosmopolitans of New
York and the Caaedonians of Kearny,
which turned out OF be a remarkably hard
contest. The teams were closely matched
and the playing was spirited and clever
work was done by the players on both
sides. The Caledondans played a faust game
at the start and drove three goals to one
for the opposing side. The New York
team improved in their pass work and
drove the ball Jbebweenst the uprightsN three
times in this half, and had by far the best
of the playing. Their opponents managed
to score twice, however, which gave them
the victory by five goals to four. The
goals for Cosmopolitan were made by
