THE LITTLE TORPEDO WONDER
The Porter Proves Highly in Her Test
Before the Board of Inspectors.

New York, June 1.-THE United
States torpedo boat Porter was put
through her maneuvering PAGES today
and came up to all expectations. The
board of inspectors was taken down to
the lower bay in the morning. The little
black flyer cut her way through the wa
tiers, and although no attempt was made
to obtain phenomenal speed, all other
craft were quickly left behind. Once out
of the channel the work OF testing the
torpedo guns was begun. Three torpedoes
were fired. Two worked excellently, but
the third was not successful, as the lock-
ing device refused to work. Then the lit
tie flyers ability to twist and turn was
exhibited. Her turning circle was found
to be abount 1 100 feet In reversing from
full speed ahead to full speed astern, and
vice versa, she proved a wonder, taking
only twenty-five seconds and moving
less than her own length before she
gained momentum in the desired direc-
ton. After various other tests of her
maneuvering qualities the Porter brought
the board of inspection back to the city.
These gentlemen expressed great salts
faction over the results of the trip.

AN A. AND NJ. TRUSTEE RESIGNS.
Mr.. Cox, a Trae-B Blue Republican, Dis
gusted With the Looters.

Disguised with the action of the board
of trustees of the A. and NJ. College, of
which he is a member, Mr.. b. V. Cox
last night handed his resignation to the
Governor in person.
At least two other members of the
board, it is understood, will do the same
thing within the next few days. Then the
Governor can have his own sweet way
"a sort of monopoly of the footing bus
mess. He can appoint such men to sue
coed these gentlemen as he knows will
do his bidding without stopping to rea-
son why.
Mr.. Cox, who last night resigned, is a
young lawyer from Pitt county. He has
twice represented his county in the
Legislature and is a Republican of the
straghtest sect. But he is a college bred
man and he knows that politics have no
place in an institution of learning and
that they never enter but to cripple 1t.
He realizes that in this matter his party
has made a great blunder and he desires
to wash his hands of all responsibility
for or connection with it.
In the caucus he opposed any changes
for political reasons, and when he found
that he was beaten he refused to attend
the board meeting during the election of
faculty for the college and officers for
the experiment station.
And last night, true to his threat in
the caucus, he went to the Governor $
mansion and rendered his resignation.
Others will follow in few days if they
have not already been handed in.

dismissed and his place left to be filled
by the executive committee. lie is uni
versally acknowledged to be one of the
best and most useful men of the lnst-
tuition. But he had to walk the plank
because Of a within OF Mr.. Chamberlain.
Thus the heads of the two most import
ant departments of the institution-those
that give it its name, the agricultural
and mechanical-are dismissed and their
work crippled.
Edward Gouger Butler, of vance
county, was added to the faculty. lie
takes nobody's place, but is the sublec.
of a creation. He had to be provldeu
for, being poor man-since he has had
to give up the Marable estate that ne
got fraudulently. So they took TOUR
slices from the four corners of the earth
and made a place that will pay him 81
$50 a year. His onerous duties are:
secretary of board of trustees, secretary
of the faculty, bursar, and assistant
professor of English.
Butler. like Britt and the rest of them,
had mo recommendations in the meeting
save their own sweet faces. To the out
side world, however Mr.. Butler has the
fact that he lives at Dabney to recon-
mend him and qualify him for this par
ticular work. DIR. Dabney, after whom
his depot was named, used to be in
charge of the experiment station here.
From this source no doubt Edward
Gouger has drawn inspiration and spe-
cial fitness for the work to which he
has been chosen.
By the way: has the resignation of
Prof Jay Jay Britt, the ambrosial Eng
fish linguist from the wales of classic
Mitchell, where the hills are said to be
so steep that the coons have to be shOd
to climb them, been forwarded to the poll
teal center of North Carolina since his
election to 81 ,450 worth of governmental
pap? He is somewhat of a runt and
has been extracting Tactic sweets from
the rear mammillary appendage in the
past, and may have overlooked the form
atty of resigning as trustee. Mr.. But
Ter rs also holding an all-day sucker of
the same value between his lips, forget
full of the fact that a resignation from
the board of trustees is probably In or
der since he is now an officer of the col
lege.
Or can it be that they are about the
only trustees who will not resign after
Thursday nights performance? Somebody
ought to stay on the board to keep those
sweet wall-fowers-Cr and West

but by politicians and lawyers. All set

In volume "A. page 459, North Caro-

The court Granville civil term, 1875,

appeal to the Supreme Court, the de-
cision was sustained
This Edward g. Butler is the same
man as the e. G. Butler, of Vance coun-
ty, who was Thursday night elected a
professor in the A. and NJ. College by
the hooters.
The complaint in this case sets forth
the following facts:
Elizabeth Marable died intestate in the
county of Granville in the year 1871,
leaving large real and personal estate
and Edward G. Butler qualified as adj
ministrator of her estate.
Now Julia Chappell, and her husband,
X. b. Chappell. were near relatives of
the Observation-Disclosures Marable-and
as such entitled to large interest in the
estate. They, however, resided in Vir-
ginia and knew but little of the business
of the intestate and were not fully cog
infant of the situation and value of her
estate.
Shortly after the death of Mrs. Mara
bic, Butler went to the home of the
Chappells in Virginia, and stated that
the intestate was greatly indebted and
that but little, if anything at all, would
he coming to them; that he had lived
with Mrs. Marable during her life and
that she had always promised him to
give him her estate when she died, but
that she had died without having done
so and he thought they ought to release
him of their interest in the estate.
The Chappells believing these repre-
sensations, and Butler being a relation
, of Mrs. Chappell, they, during that visit,
executed a release of their interest in
the estate for the nominal sum of SO
The real estate of Mrs. Marable was
really worth about $1,000, and was free
from debt and the plaintiff was aware of
these facts at the time these representa-
tons were made.
Butler had his deed recorded and
claimed the interest of the Chappells in
the Marable estate in his own right,
under the deed. His defense, when the
matter went into the courts, was that the
deed was not obtained by false and
fraudulent statements by himself.
Ihe jury found as follows on the is
sues submitted to them in the case:
1. 'That the defendant did make to
the plaintiffs false and fraudulent mis-
representations, and did fraudulently
conceal facts and circumstances from the
plaintiffs, and that the defendant did
exercise undue influence to secure the
execution of the deed in the complaint
mentioned.
2. THAT the plaintiffs did execute the
said deed by reason of the false and
fraudulent misrepresentation and con-
cealment of tne defendant, and by rea-
son of undue influence on the part of the
defendant"
Upon appeal to the Supreme Court
Judge Settle rendered the opinion. He

the result that the charges were sustain

the matter end there, but the officer did
not care to let the record stand against
him in that fashion. as it would operate
against him when he comes up for pro-

he demanded a court-martial and this
