addition to the seats that had been

not sufficient a larger number will be
secured.

End of a Fnmous suit.

The famous chancery suit of the
Security Company of Hartford, CT,
practically Charles NJ. Bliss of BEN
nington, against the Bennington Battle
Monument Association, which was
decided adversely to the Security
Company by eX-Gov. Dillingham;. the
special master in chancery, in 1895.
has probably reached an end. The
case was taken to the supreme court.
mainly on the ground that the mas
ters report was not in accordance
with the testimony, and the appoint
mcnt of another master was asked for.
The supreme court, which has lust
reviewed the case, firms judgment
and remands the case for payment of
costs. The suit, which was for $. 600.
was brought in 1890 for money ex-
pended by Mr.. Bliss in the interests of
the monument project. Gov. Dilling-
hams report gave great credit to Mr.
Bliss for his labors, which extended
over a period of IL years or more, but,
held that these labOrs were voluntary
and that the large expenditures in
CURED by him were without the au-
thority of the association. The work
done under the specific authority of
the association had been paid for and
the association was under no further
obligation TO remunerate Mr.. Bliss.
Mr.. Bliss claimed to have expended
$4,000 more than had ever been paid
to him and all of his time for nearly a
dozen years. AT the time Mr.. Bliss
expended the money he was the secre-
tary of the association.
