In an action by the receivers Of an in
solvent bank against a defendant on his

corporation of which he was the presi-

Held, that the evidence adduced upon
the trial warranted, even if it did not
it did. in effect find. that the defendant
was the principal debtor upon the note
and that If said corporation, whose money
on deposit in the insolvent bank, the de-
PENDANT was attempting to have applied
as a partial offset, had assumed any OBJ
legation in respect to payment of the note
1t was that of a surety. And held further
that this evidence would not have bean
affected had the court allowed counsel for
defendant to pursue their inquiries along
certain lines indicated by questions pro-
pounded to their witnesses and objected to
by counsel for plaintiff. Order affirmed.
The court modifies the order of the

FALL OF THE JUNIORS.
ST. Thomas Seniors Football Eleven
Wins an Exciting Game.

The senior and junior classes of St.
Thomas college played a game of foot
ball yesterday. After fifteen minutes Of
varying fortunes, Senior Nemacheck
brought the ball to the juniors goal by
forty-five-yard run. Capt Sheerin, of the
seniors, caught the ball. kicked by Gala
han, and carried it to the juniors goal,
seventy yards away. A successful kick
made the score IL to in favor of the
seniors. Nothing of interest occurred
during the remaining minutes of the first
half, except the splendid tackle Of Gala
han, which brought a round of cheers
from the interested spectators. Within
three minutes after the ball was kicked
off, In the second half, Nemacheck selling
the ball, carried it eighty yards and plant
ed it securely between the Juniors goal
posts. The juniors scored safety, and in
part retrieved the day. Fortunately for
the seniors Nemacheck made another
touchdown, leaving the score % to in
favor Of the seniors.
Now the juniors aroused themselves to
action. In the short space Of ten minutes
Fitzgerald and Dwyer were rushed oyer
the seniors goal line, leaving the final
score % to IA. +e4~e p-
Owing to the greater weight of the
seniors the result was not unexpected
However, the seniors had, to hustle for
their victory. The juniors played an ex-

BOSTON, Nov. 15.-The sessions Of the
general assembly of the Knights of La
Dor were continued here today, with Cen
eral Master Workman Parsons. Of New
York, in the chair. After the appoint
ment Of committees the committee on Gre
denttals reported that seventy delegates
were present out of possible los, and
several more from Canada and the far
West were expected today or tomorrow.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the reading of reports and to an address
by Charles H. Lichtman, ex-secretary-
treasurer of the order
General Master Workman John N. Par
sons, of New York, in his report, said in
Fart: lu
Since the session at Chicago 1 have
had occasion to visit a number of locals
including those of Chicago and CIeve-
land, and 1 feel fully convinced that we
are in need of a competent corps CT or
ganizers. During the coming year the
country will be again excited over the
issues that will arise in the contest that
will be waged for the control of the af-
fairs of this country for the succeeding
Eooves us at this meeting Of the general
assembly to take up some of these issues,
in order that our representative men
might be given the benefit of the judg-
ment of all in the stand they may take,
in the name Of their order. for the benefit
Of the working people.
TRUST ISSUE IMPORTANT.
Perhaps the most Important of those
issues will be the trusts, for who has
not observed the progress they are max
ing, and who will contend that they car
ry any charm for the wage workers? The
concentration Of wealth, as employed in
the industries Of this country, have made
many strikes during the past few years
which have resulted to the workingmen' s
detr1ment wherever such combinations
have been effected. 1t remains for US to
uphold the stand taken by the founders
of our order, who, through their fore
sight, have seen the approach of the
condition that is fast coming on. How to
| meet 1t Is a question that should be given
| your careful attention as knights of La
Dor, above all other organizations, will be
| expected to speak on this important ques-
| ton.
The war just closed with Spain has
brought us new possessions and practi-
ca1ly a new people. How to deal with
them justly and wisely and with g. future
regard for our economic conditions, is a
question, also; upon which the knights
of Labor should Be heard"

WASHINGTON. Nov 15-The industri-
al commission today gave its attention to
the plated silverware business, hearing
first Samuel Dodd. president of the In
ternational Silver company, and w. H.
Watrous, director of that company, and
afterward N. 3. Rogers, an independent
manufacturer.
Mr.. Dodd said that the International
Silver company was organized about
year ago. and that, with two exceptions,
1T was composed Of Connecticut manufac-
turers. There are in the combine fifteen
factories and as many stores, but it was
the expectation that about ten of the
stores would be closed. There had been
an increase of the labor force employed
notwithstanding some of the factories
had been closed, and there also had been
a slight increase in wages since the com
bination was effected. He estimated that
the company manufactured IS or 60 per
cent of the entire plated silver output Of
the country, but said there was all abun-
dance Of competition left. Indeed, there
were about forty separate establishments
still In existence. He said the Interna-
tional company was capitalized for $780,
600, but that only about s. 000, 600 worth
Of the stock had been issued His orig
inal company, the Wilcox Silverware
company. had disposed of its stock, Of a
par value Of $25, to the combine for $25
cash and $50 III preferred and $25 in COM
mon stock. He said the pool in silver
company stock recently formed in New
York had no connection with the COM
l. -, 81
combine were worth about half the
amount of capitalization and the patents
the other half.
Mr.. w. H. Watrous, of Hartford, Conn,
director of the International company,
corroborated the statements of Mr.. Dodd
USED A DUMMY.
N. B. Rogers, of G. Rogers & Co., silver
plate manufacturers Of Danbury, said
that his company at first had contemplate
ed entering the international combina-
ton, but afterwards decided not to do
SO. One objection he made to the meth
cd Of organizing was that the negotta-
tons were all conducted IN the name Of
a clerk, who was dummy and irrespon-
sible. The promoters received 8 per cent
Of the common stock, and the common
stock was offered to those entering the
pool as a bonus. The combination had
reduced prices Immediately after organ
izing, and the competition since then had
been very sharp, but Mr.. Rogers was of
the opinion that the low prices had been
at the expense Of quality. He said he pre-
ferred being out Of the combination to
being in it, and that he did not fear the
competition Of the combine so long as it
was legitimate. He had heard from a
stakeholder Of the International company
that the company had passed its first div
idend, and at the time the dividend should
have been declared had increased the sal
aries Of its managing directors from 5000
to 10000, that Of its president from 81, 900
to $4,000, and that of the treasurer to
$25 000
