FOR CHEF OFFICER RoLLo,
Vice Consul Heating Receives a Medal
from the Humane Society.

Vice Consul Heating received yesterday
morning from the secretary of the Royal
Humane Society of England bronze
medal to be presented to Chief Officer
Frank Rollo of the steamship Devopa
who, on one cold day last January,
jumped overheard while the steamer was
lying at the Grand Trunk wharves to
rescue John Nolan, an aged employe of
the Portland company. Nolan had been
sent to the steamer to do some work. In
climbing over the rail he missed his foot
ing and fell to the water between the ship
and the wharf. Rolio immediately
jumped after him and skept him afioat
until both men were drawn up to the
| wharf. The application for the medal was
made by Mr.. Heating who took the
| affidavits of the witnesses and forwarded
| with them the account of the affair
printed in the PRESS at the time. AS
the rescue occurred outside the British
possessions there was doubt as to whether
under the rules of the society the medal
could be awarded, but Mr.. Heating made
| the point that the rescue was the work of
British subject who jumped from the
deck of British ship. The medal
reached here yesterday morning, but as
Mr.. Rollo had just gone to sea on his ship
it will mot be presented to him until his
next visit to this port The medal is en-.
closed in q case and the name of the man
to whom it is given is engraved on it
with an appropriate inscription. The
Royal Humane society was formed over q
hundred years ago. Queen Victoria is it's
patron ana the Duke of Argyll the presi-
dent. In 1897 it gave rewards to Tie per-
sons, these rewards being for bravery in
1.-THE saving of life and including medals
land testimonials There are several forms
of medals in use, that given for deeds of
the greatest heroism being the gold
medal. Only twice, however, has the
gold medal been given. Grace Darling
received one and the other was given to
a retired officer of the army The Gordon
| Bleu is another mark of exceptional
hLnor. One of the recent cases in which
it was awarded was that in which sailor
tplunged overheard in a storm in the
tropics in an effort to save the life OF a
companion. Tt was in the darkness OF
the night and the sea was infested with
sharks, but the man did not hesitate and
was selected as one of the few to receive
this especial testimonial to valor. The
giving of these medals Is only small
part of the work of the society. The or
ganization Is supported by voluntary
contributions and is actively engaged in
the work of saving life through the
medium of the life saving stations which
| it maintains and the appliances 1t pro-
vides at watering places and bathing re-
sorss for the same purposes.

oo,,rt whether state or federal, which
frat obtains Jurisdiction OF the res Is en-
titled to retain it until the litigation is
settled.
Second-That the situation of this case
did not warrant the appointments OF re-
ceiver, this remedy being provisional or
auxiliary one, invoked as an adjunct or
aid to the principal relief sought, and not
as In this CASE the ultimate object OF the
action. In other words, there must be
some principal controversy to which the
appointment is ancillary. That the ap-
pointment Of receiver is the exercise OF
one of the high prerogative powers OF the
equity court, of a most delicate nature,
and to be used with circuIuspection, and
only when the court is convinced that re-
lief is needful, and that it is the appro-
pirate means for securing appropriate
ends. That insolvency alone Is not
sufficient ground for appointing re-
ceiyer, and that receiver is never ap-
pointed merely because the measure can
do no harm.
Third-That the minority stockholders
have adequate and more direct and
efficient remedy by Intervening and be-
coming parties to the foreclosure suit in
the Michigan courts, 1t being an estab-
lished principle of law that stockhoIder
in case Of collusive foreclosure may. be
allowed to come in as defendant and set
ought to have set up. That a receiver
could only act by intervention In the fore
closure suit and could do no more than
the minority stockholders themselves.
That If receiver should be appointed,
the court would have to hedge him about
win such strict and narrow limitation,
owing to judicial comfy, that lie would
necessarily have his hands tied at the out
set. :,
that it charges fraud in general terms,
but does not allege the specific. acts which
constitute the fraud, and that 1t does not
aver any excuse for the laohes apparent
proceedings were begun several months
ago, and this is the first effort the plain
tiffs have made to prevent them.
\ Inasmuch as the sale OF the propeTty
under foreclosure proceedings Is SO near
at hand, it is probable that the parties
win make some amicable adjustment and
dismiss the bill without prejudice. <

dent occurred to give spice or dash to the
proceedings. In the lower wards thera
was apparently rather more activity dis
played in getting out the vote on account
of some little talk that had been made In
regard to some of the candidates. The
result of the election was rs anticipated.
Mayor Randall is reelected by a very
handsome inreased majority and the can
didates of the Republican party in five
out of seven wards are elected. Each Of
the ladies who were independent candi-
dates for school committee received recog-
milton but their votes did not materially
affect those OF the regular nominees.
The vote on annexation was not quite
as large as the total vote cast, but COM
pared favorably with 1t. The total vote
on this question was 5405. There were
4137 in favor to 1871 opposed, majority
of 1856 in favor of annexation.
The entire CITY vote follows In detail:

By the law merchant, note to be ne
gotiable, must run to order or bearer, be
payable in money, for certain definite
sum, on demand, at sight, or in certain
time. or upon the happening of an event
which must occur, and payable absolute
ly and not upon contingency.
q These notes call for payment of GER
tain sum, "and attorneys fees" the lat
ter being uncertain, indefinite, and to
some Sextent contingent This provision
renders the notes not negotiable by the
law merchant.
Upon question of general commercial
law like this, this court will apply that
law according to its Judgment and Is not
bound by decisions of the courts in In
diana.
The plaintiff is assignee of non-nego-
table notes. The relation Of endorsee
did not exist between plaintiff and Webb,
and this action cannot be maintained.
The court is also satisfied, from all the
evidence in the case that both Webb and
Roads understood the transaction to be
a sale OF the notes, as commodities, with
no liability on the part of Webb as an
endorser or guarantor, but that Roads
relied and was to rely solely upon the
responsibility Of the makers and the
mortgage security.

LAW COURT.
Interesting Decision in Cumberland
County Case.

The following rescript has been received
from the Law Court:
Cumberland, SIS.
Hardin Roads VS.. Emeline r. Webb,
administrative.
Rescript, Strout, J.-James Webb, de-
fendan1,a Interstate husband and resi-
dent of this state, through a real estate
broker in Muncie, Indiana. early in 1892,
sold to Gerralls and Masters, parcel of
real estate in Muncie, for So, 800. He
received therefor SLIGO in cash, and two
notes of the purchates of SI100 each, dated
September 20, 1899, payable, one. on or
before one year, the other, on or before
two wears. These notes were secured by
The terms of both notes were except as
to time of payment as follows:

test and notice of protest, and non pay

Muncie. Indiana, with per cent interest

Soon after Webb received tine notes he
engaged the same broker at Muncie to
s.sell the same Within few months
thereafter this broker, negotiated sale
of the notes and the mortgages securing
the same as stated in the agreed state
ment. to the plaintiff for $1,000.
Webb thereupon assigned the mortgage
to the plaintiff, Roads, and wrote upon
the back of each note ''For value re-
ceived. I, James Webb, hereby assign,
transfer and deliver unto Hardin Roads
of Munoie, Indiana, or his ordor. all my
right, title and interest in and to the
within note and the mortgage securing
the some. flames Webb"
The notes and mortgage We're then
sent to the broker at Muncle, who de-
livered them to Roads, and received pay
ment.
The transfer being completed by deliv-
ery in Indiana, Webb's contract on the
back of the notes must be regarded as
an Indiana contract.
The notes not being paid by the makers,
Roads claims to hold Webbs estate as
endorser. The defence insists that the
notes were not negotiable, by the law
merchant. and the plaintiff is but an as
sionee of a non-negotiable chose in aot-
ion. and cannot maintain this suit.
A statue of Indiana provides that
"notes PAYABLE to order or bearer in a

A somewhat interesting case was set
down for hearing yesterday forenoon in
the Circuit court before Judge Putnam.
j. Frank COLON and other minority
stockholders of the Gladstone company
brought bill in equity against the Glad
stone = company to enjotn the
company, its officers and agents from
disposiug of any property belonging to
the company, and for the appointment OF
a receiver. Messrs. Powers, Hall and
Jones of Boston prepared the bill for the
compliments, and Hon. Clarence Hale
and Arthur Belcher, Esq, Of this city
appeared as local counsel with them, and
Levi Turner. Esq, of the firm of Libby,
Robinson and Turner appeared for the
defendant corporation. The Gladstone
company was organized in this state for
the purpose of buying, selling and i'm
proving real estate, and owns valuable
land in the city of Gladstone, Michigan.
In January, 1894, acting under vote of
the stockholders, the company executed
a mortgage on a large part of this
property to secure the payment Of bonds
to the amount of 500, 600. The bill sets
out that the company is insolvent and
that the greater part of these bonds are
held by the larger stockholders, and that
tbe executive committee and managing
officers of the company fraudulently and
nurposely allowed the company to be de-
faulted upon taxes and interest upon the
bonds. and nave not attempted to prevent
foreclosure of the mortgage, the proceed
ings for which are now being had In the
state courts of Michigan, and sets forth
that these officers are fraudulently acting
and conspiring in collision with the
bondholders to allow the foreclosure to go
BY default, and then purchase for small
figure at the foreclosure sale for their own
interest and benefit. On filing the bill,
an order to show cause was issued by
Judge Webb, returnabe the twenty
eighth Of last month: at which time Mr..
Turner appeared, and on representing to
the court that his clients, the officers of
the company, resided in various cities OF
the West, and that he had not had time to
communicate with them, Judge Putnam
allowed them until yesterday morning to
nrenare and file counter affidavits in op-
nosition to the motion for receiver. On
Examination of these atfidavits, Mr.. Hale
concluded not to press his motion for a
receiver and SO the case was continued for
further action. Mr.. Turner is his brief
for the defendant sets out the following
F1rst-That judicial comfy would not
allow the Circuit court to take jurisdio-
ton inasmuoh as the whole subject
matter was already in litigation in the
nnnrts of Michigan, basing this conten-
o eip that the spirit of judicial comfy
vii not permit a court to interfere with
,,ronertv which is already in custodia
le@is in another jurisdiction, and that the
