A NEWSPAPER EVENT

The Evening Times printed in full yes.
terday the President message to Con
gress and a complete synopsis OF tht
Dngley tariff bill, giving. of course, it,
most important protected schedules, and
tile free list. For both of these, there was
tie keeneSt public expectation
What the President might say was
awaited with general interest, not only
from the fact that he was, and is, the
Apostle OF Protection, and Mr. Dingley
the deSciple, hut because this message W as
the first OF the new Administration.
Again, so many alleged schedules and
free lists have been published that nothing
but the official "DinCley Blr' could pos
shly satisfy tile public mind
1t was for these reasons specifically and
and through its enterprise generally that
the Evening Times and it's thousands of
friends met and congratulated each other
wherever its fleet-footed heralds carried
its important and largely exclusive CON
tents.
The second edition of the paper, contain
ing its usual budget of news and its two
special features, was circulated and sold
in immense numbers 1t was, OF course,
just the thing for the politicians, Con
gressrnen and unemployed statesmen, in
hotel Hobbies and other resorts where the
Presidents policies and the Dingley bill
have been under animated discussion ever
since the inauguration
The special edition went off with such
rapidity that the supply on the streets
and at the news stands fell short of the
great demand.

CONTRACTOR WINFREE SUED
The Vermont Marble Company AL
leges That He Is InsolYent.
Asks for the Appointments of a Re.
ceiver for Money Due Winfree
by the Government.

The Vermont Marble Company began a
suit In equity yesterday, against William
w. Winfree, the contractor, and George
| A Shehan, as trustee, asking for the ap-
ceived by Winfree, from the Govern
ment, and who will distribute it among
the creditors of the contractor. The liti-
CATION grows out OF q contract between
the marble company, a New York corpora
ton, and the contractor, to furnish marble
to the latter for the new Amusement Hall,
at the Soldiers Home.
Mr.. Winfree, the bill states, contracted
with the Government for the erection of
the building, August 10, 1892. Augu st
Burgdorf and George A. Shehan became
sureties on his bond for $25, 900, for the
performance OF his contract. The con-
tractor agreed to pay $50, 900 to the mar
BILE company for the stone used in the
building. The sum of $19,535 is yet
due on the contract, the New York con-
Germ states. Sums are also due to other
parties for work the building, the
plaintiff says, and the money due from
the Government will not pay all the claims.
When this fact was learned by Win
free, il is said he entered into an agree
ment with Shehan whereby he was to
place the money due him from the Gov
ernment into Shehan's hands in trust for
the benefit of all the creditors. The funds
were TO tie distributed pro rata among
the creditors. This sum amounts TO about
$4,000, and is now on deposit in one
OF the city banks, il is claimed.
In the prosecution of his trust, says the
marble company, Shehan has attempted
Co obtain settlement with the plaintiff
upon the terms OF surrender OF its right
TO recover any sum from Messrs. Shehan
and Burgdorf, as sureties under the bond
TO the Government Shehan claims there
is a sum due him from Winfree. He de
clines to make any distribution OF the
funds among the creditors, the plaintiff
states, unless the latter and the other
creditors will accept 55 per centuin Of
their lust claims against Winfree. In this
manner, 1T is said. Nessrs. Burgdort and
Shehan would be released sureties
The marble company asserts that it
believes Winfree is insolvent. The court
Is therefore asked to restrain him and
Shehan from distributing or dissipating
the fund in tie latters hands, and TO
aunoint a receiver to take the management
OF it.
Judge Bradley issued a temporary re-
straiplng order, returnablc next Friday.
