DIsMIssED.-The case Of the city agt s.
W Ross, charged with violating the
drayage ordinance, was called before
Recorder Henton at 2 o'clock this after.
noon, and on motion of j. J. Whitney,
attorney ior the city, was dismissed. 1t
seems that Mr. Ross has the contract for
cleaning the ground near the old junk
shop on Ferrr street, for the removal of
the building so it will face second st =
and in doing so took some old scraps OF
iron to the foundry, receiving nothing
for it, hence not violating the ordinance.

Vice Chancellor Reeds Decision in
Trenton Rubber Company Case.

Vice Chancellor Reeds Decision in
Trenton Rubber Company Case.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 1S.-Vice Chancellor
Reed has rendered decision in which he
holds that ex-Mayor Frank A. Mcgowan,
as president of the Trenton Rubber Com
pany, overdrew his accounts in that con-
Germ to the extent of at least $4,000. He
also decides that Allen Mcgowan, the ex-
Mayors father, as a director of the COM
pany, Is civilly responsible for $16,99O.O7
of these overdrafts, and that William p.
Hayes, another director, is responsible to
the extent of So, 600
Suit was instituted by Receiver Bird
with the idea of holding Allen Mcgowan
and William P. Hayes responsible for the
ex-Mayor's overdrafts, on the ground that
they had been negligent in their duties as
directors.
The vice chancellor expressed himself
pretty freely as to Magowan's reckless
conduct in using the funds of the COM
pany for his own personal benefit and says
that it is clear that Allen Mcgowan and
Hayes were negligent in their duties but
that they can only be held responsible to
the creditors from the time they knew
the company to be insolvent.
