Patrick Egan, a well-knOwn New

ing against the United States govern
ment for S1S4,OOO, which he has de-
cided to bring to an issue, and is said
to have retained A. B. Cooper as coun-
sci and already proceeded for Judgment.
In the United States Court CT Claims,
in 1867, Mr.. Egan, together with his
partner, Mr.. Donnelly, entered suit
against the government for SlS4,OOO
damages for cotton seized and coniis-
Gated as contraband goods.
Egan & Donnelly were then large
wholesalers and warehouse dealers at
Charleston, S. c., and The military Off
clals suspected them of being Southern
sympathizers. AT the long and import
ant legal proceedings resulting, this
was disproved, and it was clearly shown
to be a mistake.
II is said that DOnnelly, the partner,
agreed to settlement of his share with
the government and got his money on
the agreement of counsel. but Egan
held out for the full amount, and the
case mas been hanging. on ever since
for the entire thirty years. Mr.. Egan
will say nothing concerning the suit,
but his friends are greatly interested as
