SUES THE SELlGMAES.
Uncle Dick Thompson Wants About
Forty Thousand Dollars From
the Bankers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 - The bank
ing nrm of Seligman Bros. has a big
lawsuit on its hands. The plaintiff is the
venerable r chard w. Thompson, for mer
Secretary of the Navy. Colonel Robert G.
Ingersol! and his legal associate, Afford
Coale, as counsel for Mr.. THOMPSON, sue
the selIgmans in the nominal sum of $40,-
600.
What they actually seek to recover is
SIS 009. with interest at per cent from
1885
In the complaint filed with the Clerk of
the United States Circuit Court il is re-
cited that Mr.. Thompson came to New
York shortly after his retirement from
the Cabinet of Pres dent Hayes in 1881.
One of Mr.. Thom pson's closest friends was
the late Jesse Selgman. head of the
house. Mr.. Thompson kept an account
with the firm, his average deposit being
between $25, 900 and $50 600. 1t is claimed
Jesse Selieman went to him one day in
1884 and offered him a permanent invest
ment that would bring good results. 1t
was stock in the Aztec Land and Cattle
Company, W which owned immense tracts
of land in Arizona and numerous cattle.
Mr.. Thompson agreed to invest SIS 000
and accordingly, he claims, that sum was
deducted from his account with the bank.
and he supposed himself owner OF $50
shares of the company's stock.
After a time Thompson removed to his
old home in Indiana. He heard nothing
further of his investment, and suddenly
awoke to the fact that he had no stock
certificate to show he had spent SIS 600.
Therefore he wrote the Seiigmans, but
got no satisfaction, and recently he claims
L.,
Company's affairs, and discovered that
while the company, the land and the
cattle really existed the stock had no COM
mercial value and was not listed.

Peculiar Phase in the
Petition in Behalf
of EbankS.
Louis II. Ward Alleged That
the Sentence Imposed Was
a Double One.
Sta+ements Not Based on Actual
Facts That VIII Cause Grano
Jury investigation.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL

SAN DIEGO, Oct 21-A discovery was
made to-day of another phase OF the
Ebanks case that is likely 10 cause a sem
sation in San Francisco. Joseph Japheth
Ebanka sentenced by Judge Torrance OF
this county to hang on October 3, was
saved from the galows temporarily by an
appeal TO the Supreme Court of the U intel
States.
The petition is signed by one Louis IL.
Ward on behalf of the convicted mur-
d-rer. Ward swears positive ly and WIN
out the usual reservation of ''informatlch>
and belief" that the original sentence I'M
posed upon Ebanks was a double one.
His exact languages:
"The Judge of the Superior Court In ana
for the county of San Diego, State OF CAN
iornia pretended TO and did make an al
legged judgment W herein and whereby SAID
JosephJaphethEba banks was to be delivered
TO the warden at the State prison OF Cali
fornia at San Quentin, 10 be imprisoned In
close confinement at said Safe prison
and on a day to be named IN
a warrant thereafter to be issued
10 suffer the death penalty; that said al
legged judgment, based on alleged pro-
ceedings without authority of law, was a
double judgment, or sentence. viz: Con-
finement in the State prison of said State
of California and the sentence OF
deaih.'
The petitioner then goes on to make
the point that this alleged double SEN
tence is contrary TO the constitution OF
The United States, and that, therefore,
Ebanks is entitled TO his liberty.
A careful perusal of the alleged double
judgment or sentence fails to reveal
word about 'imprisonmenp or ''close
confinement" Lawyers whose attention
had been called to the matter were
astonished that Ward should have placed
himself IN such position.
1t is learned that steps will be taken to
bring the matter before the Federal Grand
Jury at San Francisco for investigation.
Attorney Eugene Deuprey of San Fran
cisco acted on behalf OF Ebanks in the mat
ter of the application for writ
Attorney DeuprPy said last evening:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. = Secretary
Long has become deeply concerned with
what he regards as the very large ex-
penditure made by the Navy Department
on accoun. OF repairs to ships. In spe-
ciai cases these allotments of funds are
particularly heavy and out Of all proper

com missioning of brand-new ship she
should be tied to a wharf in the navy-yard
for extensive alterations, Under the guise

not repairs in the true sense are made on
the suggestion ofvarious officers, and the
sum total OF the expenditures on that ac-
cou nj has grown to be SO large that Secre-
tary Long has been inpelled to issue a
circular for the guidance of all officers con-
Ger ned. 1t says:
1.-THE department finding that the ex-
pend itures for repairs 10 vessels in COM
mission, especially those on the home
ST ations, is excessive. enjoins upon all
persons having duties 10 perform in con-
nection herewith the exercise of strict
economy and careful compliance with the

The regulations give commandants au-
thority to order repairs only in cases of
actual emergency. To the end that each

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
A Young Married Man Badly Scared by
Supposed Burglars.

There is..a young man residing on tx
change street that had quite scare
Thursday night and he hasn't quite
made up his mind whether there were
burglars in the house or that he has
the most careless servant girl in the
world. The young man is married
and keeps a very neat little establish
ment, but as his wife was out of the
city he spent the earlier hours of the
evening with some of his gentlemen
friends. Returning home he went to
the cellar and having fixed the furnace
for the night he went to his room and
prepared for bed. He read for some
time, when he heard noise in one of
the rooms below. Thinking he had
left, the cellar door open, he dressed
leisurely and went down to shut it, not
desiring to be disturbed during the
night. When he went through the
dining room he felt strong draught
and going into the kitchen found
the door wide open and the key on the
floor in the middle of the room. He
made hurried search of the house,
but made no further discoveries ex-
cept that several drawers, in which his
wife had been in the habit of keeping
the silverware, had been opened.
The young man says he has no
doubt but that it was an attempted
burglary and that he only arrived in
time to keep the house from being
turned upside down.
1t would seem, from the many re-
ports of attempted burglary, that an
organized gang. is working the town
and some effort should be made to put
an end to it..
