SUED A CLIENT.
Collection Agency Gets Judgment
Against One OF It's Customers.

There was case in the District Court
this morning of commercial agency
suing one OF It's own clients. The agency
is headed by James q. Warren and the
client sued was John Il. Tanner
Mr.. Tanner had grown tired Of the in
cidents arising from the collection of
some bills personally, and when the
merits of the agency were explained he
agreed 60 pay s. in cash, and that another
So should TO taken from any bills the
agency might collect. The agency. through
Mr.. Warren. claimed Mr.. Tanners bills
were very hard TO collect Suits were in
stituted, but this resulted in little cash
for MIR. Tanner or the agency.
The head of the agency brought suit
against MIR. Tanner To recover tho costs
of these suits. and also 50, be claiming
that the agent had no right TO make any
arrangement by which part of the so
fee should be taken out Of collections.
Mr.. Tanner claimed that his contract
with the agency was that il no money was
collected on any claim placed in Its hands
there were to be no expenses. This Mr..
Tanner construed to include law suits,
which were unsuccessful
The contract between Mr.. Tanner and
the agency rather puzzled Judge Rueckert
for il contained provisions TO the effect
that there should be no charge where
collections and legal expenses might be
arranged between the parties. His honor
thought however, that MIR. Tanner
should pay for the expenses of the law
suits but reduced the Uill Of s2J. 23 sued
on by 50, the an ount Of the fec tnat was
TO be taken from the collections.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY
Amendments TO Existing Treaties
Concerning it Being Prepare1.

Washington, Sept. 10 Commissioner But
terworth and Assistant Commissioner Greeley
of the patent Office are engaged in putting in
shape amendments TO be offered 20 the treaty
existing among the leading nations OF the
world "for the protection Of industrial prop
erty."
a meeting Of the representatives of these
nations has been called TO convene in Brus-
sells next December, and il is the purpose Of
this country TO secure, If possible, certain
notifications of the present agreement.
The convention was entered upon for the
purpose of protecting patents, trade marks
and other similar interests.
Article two of the treaty is one which this
country will seek TO have changed. As the
article stands. it provides that the citizens OF
each OF the contracting states shall enjoy in
all the other states the same advantages that
are given to the citizens of those states. Il
has been found that this provision works
hardship upon our patentees taking out
patents abroad entirely out of proportion 20
the tax upon foreigners taking out patents in
this country. The intention now is TO ask
for reciprocal arrangement which will pro
vide that while American patents may be is
sued to citizens of other countries on the
same conditions in other respects as they are
issued to American citizens, we may require
the outsiders 10 pay the same fees which their
countries require from our inventors. In
some countries 10 become the owner OF "a
patent right costs an American as well rs a
citizen from $500 TO 500, while tho uniform
rate in this country is $50 The effort will be
made 10 amend the treaty making our rates
TO them equal to theirs to US.

Board will be realized by bis fellowmem-

There are two rumors about Council
man Thomas w. Waterman of the Fifth
ward. One is that he will succeed Alder

that he won't go back TO City Hali in any
capacity. MIR. Waterman is up in New
Hampshire, and couldn't be seen TO-DAY

Councilman Grinnell also Of the Fifth

Out in tho Seventh ward there is ths

Brook street pair Of horses, owned by D.
A. Whaley attached to a heavy wagon
containing three tons of coal. One of the
horses was sick and unable to do its share
Of the work, and Mclaughlin began to
beat the animal numerically. One of the

one of the pomroy Coal Co. Is teams came
along and the driver assisted Mclaughlin

the active horse as the sick horse was un-
able TO do more than move.
To make the sick horse worse, Nc
Laughlin drove into its right ear rag

Mr. Smith found that the nothing"
was stone. When Mr. Smith extracted
the stone form the animals ear tho blood
streamed out, ana the ear on the inside
showed that after the stone had been
driven in, that some ono must have struck
the ear with club as the lobe was
