The Union Savings Bank of this city to-
bill for injunction against George H. Itch
madge A. and Wilton ]. Lambert. filed a
bill for injun.tio against George H. Itch
enor, Russell Mccarthy and Ellis H. Rob-
erts, treasurer of the United States.
The complainant states that in 1892 the
defendant Tichenor entered into a contract
with the District of Columbia for laying
cement .pavements, in compliance with the
terms OF which a percentage of the agreed
cost was retained and invested In govern
ment bonds to insure the quality of the
work; that in December 1892, and again in
January, 1898, Tichenor assigned for value
to complainant certain interests in the fund
Sd held, which assignments were duly filed
with the treasurer, and the complainant
thereafter received the interest accruing
thereon, but that, notwithstanding said as
sgnments, the defendant Tichenor in jan
uary 1898, executed and filed with the
treasurer an alleged revocation of the prior
assignments, and pretended, for value, TO
transfer all his interests in said contract TO
the defendant Russell Mccarthy. 1t is also
alleged that in April, 1888, the said Tiche-
nor filed another alleged revocation with
the treasurer, whereby he undertook to re-
woke and cancel all prior assignments made
by him of said retention; that the period
for which the percentage was withheld
having expired, and the treasurer having
refused to pay over to complainant the re-
tentton held by him, it is prayed that the
defendant Ellis H. Roberts may be enjoin-
ed, pendente lite and permanently, from
paying over to the defendants Tchenor and
Mccarthy, and the defendants Tichenor
and Mccarthy restrained from receiving or
collecting the retention from the avails OF
the contract, and that the complainant be
decreed to be entitled to receive funds now
in the hands of the treasurer to the credit
of the defendant Tichenor.

retary-treasurar. and Henry Bostock, ]. S.
Fitzpatrick and Andrew d. Best, executive
board of the Knights of Labor of North
America, seeking to restrain the revocation
of the charter Of the complainant organiza-
tion. The bill, filed by Ralston & Siddons,
recites the history of the local labor trou-
bles, telling of the receipt of word from the
general assembly that the charter of Dis
tTict Assembly No. &c had baen revoked,
and that Mr.. Best, one of the defendants, is
seeking to reorganize the local body OF
knights.
1t is alleged that the general officers are
seeking to detach the twenty local assem-
blies under the protection of District As
sembly 65 and that such action would seri-
ously affect 1900 workmen, who would be
unable to obtain employment on account of
not being In good standing with their or
ganization. The revocation of the charter
was without cause, ii is alleged, and the ac-
ton was taken without giving the district
assembly a chance to answer any charges
that may have been brought against it.
The complainants ask that an Injunction
be Issued enjoining the general officers from
revoking the charter from establishing a
new assembly, endeavorine to secure the
moneys in possession of the district assem-
bly, and also from refusing to recognize the

And what it led to.

many younger woman. Ever since my
recovery / have taken couple of bottles
of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla each spring, and
am quite satisfied that l owe my good
health to this treatment. give this testi-
inonial purely in the hope that 1t may
meet the eye of some poor sufferer
MARY LINeARD, woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers sarsaparilla has won Its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
OF its friends those who have tried il and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testimony. 1t throws ali
theories aud farcies TO the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock Of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with a
positive 81 kno,c." Ayers Sarsaparilia
with its purifying aud vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
cases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went OH to a course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent il. So she took couple
OF bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are thousands OF similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the
J. c. Aver Co, Lowell, Mass. Write for it.
