SUING FOR A FORTUNE.
A Case Involving $2,OOO,OOO WORT
of Hallway Stock.

A Case Involving $9,OOO,OOO Worth
of Railway Stock.
New York, Oct. 26.-According to a
summons and complaint filed in the
county clerks office, Charles Austin
Bates claims he has been defrauded of
81, 100000 worth of stock of the General
Electric Railway company, of Chicago,
and he names the members of the firm
of ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. as de-
PENDANTS in the suit to recover it. the
other defendants being Lucius Clark,
A. G. Wheeler and Perry A. Hull, of
Chicago.
Bates alleges that the General Elec-
trio Railway company organized with
a capital of $5,OOO,000 In shares valued
at 500 each for the purpose of oper-
ating an electric railway In Chicago,
and that In November. 1895. he pur-
chased 10000 shares of the stock of the
road. which he says was not then In
progress of construction, but Its stock
he declares, was and Is very valuable.
Bates says that Clark represented to
him (3ates) that in order to success
fully carry out the objects for which
the corporation was created 1t was
necessary to have a controlling inter-
est in the stock placed temporarily in
the hands Of one person.
Bates says he turned over to Clark
his $1,000 shares on Clark's promise to
return them as soon as the objects he
represented were accomplished, but
that he had repeatedly tried in vain to
get Clark to return the stock.
Bates says he then discovered that
Clark transferred the stock to Hull,
that the latter transferred 1t to man
named Stinson. who in turn transferred
1t either to J. Pierpont Morgan or to
J. Pierpont Morgan G. Co.. who, Bates
says, now have 1t in their possession.

Eayirutlnr the Strests in Boats

Highlands, N. j., Oct. 26 Owing to
the heavy wind and sea the fishing
village of Seaside, formerly Parker
town, is under water. The villagers
are rowing through the streets in boats.
The government trestle is badly dam
aged. The trestle connects the main
land with Sandy Hook, and al! freight
for that place passes over it. About
200 feet was lifted off the piling and
washed to one side, and 1t will be some
time before it can be repaired. A large
piece Of Kay's new bullihead was
washed away, and the property there
is In danger. The bulkhead was built
last winter at large expense. The
sand bar Is closing the west channel,
and if the storm continues the Shrews-
bury river will be closed to navigation.
