Richard :. Dovlin brought suit in the
Civil Division of the sixth District Court
recently against the National Exchange
Bank TO recover 500. The case was tried
this morning and proved an interesting

toruey Dennis II. Sheahan and Arnold
Green was attorney for the bank.
MIR. Green argued that the customs Of
banking fully justified tho PAYMENT of
the note of customer when presented nj
the counters. The note stood in the hands
OF "A bona fide holder the same rs a check
and the decisions in New York. and the
laws of several Western states confirmed
tho right OF tho bank 10 paw the note.
Mr.. Sheahan argued that TO give the
bank the power to pay note presented
against customer would be TO transfer
the dominion over the deposit from the
dspositor to the bank. Ho argued that
theirs was no doubt tut what an action of
troyer could he maintained, as tho m onev
had boon placed in the bank subject only
to check, and the payment of the note
was the using Of the funds for a purpose
the tank had no right 60 use them for.
Mr.. Green said he did not question than
troyer was tho nroper action.

Term-0n a Hunting Trip.

The schools Of the town topencd for the fall

tical kindergartners, Misses Marian Mcri-
wether and Lizzie Taft are in charge. Com
mitteeman Edwin c. Pierce has been instru
mental in organizing this school for little
folks. Ex-Committooman T.. A. Freeman was
the original expounder of the institution.
There is much dissatisfaction among the
people of Auburn, who are obliged TO send
their children TO the Eden Park school. The
odium falls upon the shoulders.of Committee
man Dutemple and Superintendent Almy.
Mr.. Dutemple is accused of catering 10 Mr..
Frank Budlong for recollection next spring.
The charge is made that MIR. Dutemple had the
schoolhouse built upon Eden Park TO please
Mr. Budlong. Others say that no pledge has
been made that Mr.. Dutemple will be re-
elected, but, rather, the committee is tiring
of his like, unyielding leadership, and
the community Of Auburn is becoming
ashamed of its representation.
Mr.. Frank Budlong does not need to cater
TO n man of the Dutemple pattern.
Messrs John NJ. Dean and Frank Budlong
will leave tomorrow for n hunting tour of six
or eight weeks in Maine. These men make
tour annually to the Maine forests and meet

Great Excitement During the Joint
Session BaIIOtinE.
Frankfort, KY, April S.--When the roll
was called in the joint legislative session
to-day the silver democrats declined to
answer to their names, hoping that with
the assistance of the boiling republicans
they would be able to break a quorum. In
this they were unsuccessful, the gold DEM
ocrats answering with the Hunterites in
order to force the balloting. The roll call
showed II present, one more than neces-
sary to constitute a quorum. Unable to
prevent a ballot the silver men voted for
Blackburn, when the ballot was ordered,
while the gold democrats voted for the
compromise candidate Henry l.. Martin.
All but the paired members voted. There
were no significant changes and the vote
stood: Hunter 61; Blackburn. A: Martin,
10; Boyle, z; Stone, 1; necessary to a
choice, Ga.
On motion of Representative Howard,
rep, no one was allowed near the clerks
desk during the ballot not even the SER
geant-at-arms, or the doorkeeper. This
was for fear that something might be
done, in case Hunter should be elected that
would cause trouble. When President Wor-
thington first announced the vote he gave
Boyle 8 votes when he had only received
T. This occasioned stampede, and for a
BILE. 1t was finally found that it was pure
ly clerical error, and recapitulation of
the vote was had.
No motion was made to adjourn, and the
second ballot was ordered by President
Worthington. The excitement was intense
at all times, and when during the first
ballot it looked as If one vote would elect
DR.. Hunter there was a dozen men around
Senator Siege, endeavoring to get him to
cast his deciding vote. Siege, however, vot-
ed for Boyle. There was no change on
the second ballot, with the exception that
Hunter received 60 instead of 81, and Mar
tin u instead of 13, owing to a pair. The
general assembly then adjourned without
a dissenting vote.
Some wag wrote on the register of the
leading hotel tonight, IN. A. Hanna,
Ohio" There was regular stampede in
the hotel lobby among the politicians, who
did not at first catch on TO the joke.
1t is now generally conceded that only
some such power as the positive force
that could be exercised by the national
chairman or the national administration,
itself, can break the present deadlock
The deadlock Is more pronounced than
ever before, and the shrewd Blackburn

and the Hunter republicans and every one
concerned. The impossibity of Hunters
election is now conceded by some of the
leaders.

A CHASE ATTER THE BERMUDA.
She Is Reported to Have Taken on
War Material mt Sea.

Wur mnter1ul Mt sea.
Jacksonville, Fla, April s.-This after
noon the Vesuvius and cutter Boutwell,
left port without much preparation. Ieav-
ing several men ashore. The cause Of
their sudden departure was the report
brought to this city from Mayport that
the Bermuda had at last succeeded in
loading arms and munitions OF war at sea
and had sailed southwark for Cuba.
The tug Kate Spencer left Jacksonville
Tuesday night with a schooner in tow.
After carrying her tow over the
bar she headed for the north
east as usual, but instead of
continuing In that direction, she crept
in at Cumberland sound bar and took out
70 sea two lighters of arms waiting inside
ed northward and sighted a vessel after
going o few miles 20 seaward Signals
passed between the two vessels and they
drew together. The famous Bermuda lay
with her engines at a standstill.
The waves we're so high that the YES
sells could not be tied together and the
cargo and coal were transferred by means
Of small boats. The process was tedious,
taking long time. but succeeded IN every
respect. and the Bermuda sailed. Twenty
FIVE cubans we're placed aboard the Ber-
muda.
Both the Vesuvlus and the Boutwell,
left the St. Johns river at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. and Il Is probable that
the fleet Vesuvlus will overtake the Ber-
muda and bring her into port, since in
structions TO that effect are said to have
been given the commander by the British
vice consul.
