A YEAR or two ago the Board of
Health purchased a lactometer for
the testing of milk offered for sale in
town. The only use it has been put
to is to occupy one of the archives in
the borough building, and it will
probably remain there. The Board
of Health, as at present constituted,
is an expensive luxury.

SUING FOR A FORTUNE.
A Case Involving S2,OOO,OOO Wort
NJ IlnII...n.. lfmnI.-

A Case Involving S2sOOO,OOO worth
of Railway stock.
New York, oct 26.-According TO a
summons and complaint filed In the
county clerks office, Charles Austin
Bates claims he has been defrauded Of
$2,OOO0O0 worth of stock of the General
Electric Railway company of Chicago,
and he names the members OF the firm
of j. Pierpont Morgan q Co. as de-
PENDANTS i'm the suit to recover it, the
other defendants being Lucius Clark,
A. G. Wheeler and Perry A. Hull Of
Chicago.
Bates alleges that the General Elec-
trio Railway company organized with
a capital of $5,000OOO in shares valued
at SlOO each for the purpose of oper-
ating an electric railway in Chicago,
and that in November, 1895, he pur-
chased 10000 shares of the stock of the
road, which he says was not then In
progress of construction, but its stock,
he declares, was and is very valuable.
Bates says that Clark represented to
him (Bates) that in order to success
fully carry out the objects for which
the corporation was created 1t was
necessary to have a controlling inter-
est in the stock placed temporarily In
the hands of one person.
Bates says he turned over to Clark
his 10000 shares on Clarks promise to
return them as soon as the objects he
represented were accomplished, but
that he had repeatedly tried in vain to
get Clark to return the stock.
Bates says he then discovered that
Clark transferred the stock to Hull,
that the latter transferred it to a man
named Stinson, who in turn transferred
1t either to J. Pierpont Morgan or to
J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., who, Bates
says, now have it in their possession,

THE sOUTH'S MANY COLOMBIA.
A Possible Explanation OF Their Number Sag
Gested by an Omciai Statement.

For many years, indeed. since the close OF the
civil war, 1t has been a standing joke among the
photographers and In variety theatres that the
Confederate Army was composed almost wholly
of staff officers, and that the number of Col.
onels distributed throughout the South and In
the States Of the Southwest was materially
greater than the number of male adult civilians.
1t is certainly a fact, as all travellers attest,
that there are more Colonies, Majors. and Gem
erals in the Southern than in the Northern
States, and this is a fact, despite what is q mat
ter OF general knowledge. too, that the South
crn Army was materially smaller throughoub
the war than the Northern forces.
An explanation OF the apparent anomaly has
recently, appeared In n statement which shows
in detail that the number ~ southern ofiicers
was relatively larger than the number OF

reason for This VA. 10 be found in the fact that
the commands Of Southcrncrs were generally
smaller and more widely, separated. The
