AGAINST THE RECEIVER
THE LITIGATION WITH THE CON-
CORD, N. H., RANK DECIDED.
indianapolis National Creditors VIII
Not Get $4,000 which Re-
ceiver Hoped to Get.

For five years Receiver Hawkins, Of the
indianapolis National Bank, has been in
litigation with the First National Bank OF
Concord, N. H., Over a claim against the
New Hampshire bank by the defunct In
dianapolis institution. Yesterday the SUI
preme Court of the United States handed
down a decision averse to the receiver, and
as a result the creditors of the defunct bank
will be shut out of about $1,000 principal
and i~nterest) which the receiver was in
hope of obtaining. This alone would have
meant a dividend in the neighborhood of !
per cent. In all the lower courts the re-
ceiver had been victorious and the decision
handed down by Justice Shiras for the Su-
preme Bench was quite a disappointment.
The Supreme Court held hat the questions
presented for consideration in the case were
whether one national bank could lawfully
acquire and hold the stock of another ma
tional bank as an investment and whether,
in the case of such a purchase. the bank
Is estopped from denying its liability as an
apparent stakeholder for an assessment on
stock ordered by the controller of the cur
rency. Both questions were answered in the
negative by the Supreme Bench and the
opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals for
the First circuit was reversed.
The First National Bank of Concord held
$4,000 in stock of the Indianapolis National
at the time of the failure of the latter
bank, and a savings bank. conducted under
the wing Of the New Hampshire institution,
also held 5000 in the same stock. making
a total Of $4,000. The bank refused to pay
the assessment ordered by the controller
and Receiver Hawkins brought suit. The
Federal Court of New Hampshire gave him
a judgment. The New Hampshire bank. aft
err this decision, settled the assessment on
the stock held by the savings department,
but appealed the case as to the 10000 to
the Circuit Court of Appeals sitting at
voice, also decided in favor of the receiver.
The amount involved being $4,000. the mini
mum permitted in an appeal in such a case
to the Supreme Court at Washington, the
New Hampshire bank went higher. and, as
stated above, had the case reversed.

COUNTY AND
Commissioners VIII Make Appropria-
tions for Maintenance.

The Board Of County Commissioners has
decided to abide by the opinion Of Attorney
General Taylor in the matter of the orphan
asylums and make the appropriations for
their maintenance. Mr.. Greer said last
night that he did not believe that If the
courts decided the commissioners had vio-
lated the law by making appropriations for
asylums which were not county institutions,
the commissioners would be shielded by
making an excuse that they had followed the
opinion Of the attorney general, but he did
believe the people would take that as a sufi-
cient excuse.
IL the County Commissioners had not
taken this step a suit for an injunction
against their making the appropriations for
the orphan asyIums would have been filed
for the purpose OF making a test case.
Those interested In the orphan asylum will
be greatly relieved, it IS expected. to learn
that the County Commissioners will take as
sufficient authority the opinion of the attor-
ney general that IL a county does not have
private institutions 10 care for the orphans,
the institutions thus becoming quasi-county
institutions The new county reform law
reads that the county shall not pay out
money for the maintenance of any pauper
unless he be an inmate of a county institu-
ton Attorney General Taylor's construc-
ton Of the law was read with gratitude by
the boards of control of the three orphan
asylumS in this city.

Senator Albert j. Beverage. of Indiana.
has met Admiral Dewey, and the hero of
Manila evidently felt some of the mag
netism which was irresistible in this city
during the last session Of the Legislature,
for he succumbed to the brilliant young
Hoosier statesman. as the press dispatches
last night show. The Western cities have
been clamoring for the presence of the great
admiral on his return to this country with
out much success, but last night the COM
mittee in charge of the Chicago postofice
cornerstone laying received word from Mr..
Beverage in Hong-Kong announcing that
the admiral would be at the ceremonies on
Chicago day, Oct. 9. The committee had in
trusted to Mr.. Beveridge when he left for
the Asiatic neighborhood a special invita-
ton to Dewey.
1t is also announced that President Diaz,
Of Mexico. and Lord Monte. governor gen.
eral Of Canada. will surely be present at
the cornerstone ceremonies, together with
President Mckinley.
