WILMINGTON, n. c., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1899

several days IL has been known that
the Beers have been creeping toward
Estcourt. and had boasted that they
would be in here this morning. They
were met upon their arrival with n re
ception that they little expected. At
exactly 10 o'clock the Dublin fusileers
took up their position and without
wasting any time opened fire by VOL
leys at long range on the advancing
enemy. who were crossing the railway
from the northwest OF the town.
A loud report and a whizzing over
head told the tale OF the blue jackets
watchfulness. A big pun Of smoke in
dicated that their aim was good, the
shell bursting in the midst OF the
Beers, several OF whose horses were
observed galloping about riderless.
The Beers doubled back helter-skelter.
On advantageous points of the sur
rounding hills the Beers guns were
posted. getting ready to cover the ad-
vance of their firing line. Their as
tonishment must have been great as
they speedily retired. One shot caus-
ed them to withdraw out of sight.
They evidently did not dream that the
British had a long range gun here, as
they were coming on with the utmost
confidence, expecting TO be in Est
court within fifteen minutes after
crossing the railway. All is now quiet
again.

against E. A. Woodward, James White,
Timothy d. Daily, Dennis Fogarty, Peter NJ.
Becker, William Ward, Thomas Lanegan,
John T. Murphy, John O'Connor. and
Thomas NJ. O'Connor. The complainants
live in Atlantic City, and the defendants
in the District of Columbia. 1t is repre-
sented that the injunction is against
Woodward and White as trustees under
a deed OF trust, DAILY as treasurer, Fogarty
as president, Becker as secretary. and the
other defendants as directors of volun-
tary unimeorporated association styled tho
Second Workingmen's Building Associa-
tion of the District of Columbia"
1t is averred that the father of the
complainants. David Nelligan, who was a
stockholder in the association. received on
May II. 1885, from the building associa-
tion s525 secured by deed of trust on GER
tain lots in Wright and Dole's subdivision
Of Pleasant Plains. Nelligan, it is assert
ed, ob,ained additional advances from the
association. so that on April 10, 1890, he
was indebted to it in the amount of $S49.77.
The compiainants further aver that for
some time prior to May II. 1886. and until
November ], 1898, one John T. Lynch was
secretary of the association. and practical
ly had sole management of its affairs. 1t
is stated by the complainants that David
Nelligan on April 10, 1890, paid to Lynch.
as secretary of the association, in settle
ment of his indebtedness to the associa-
ton, sS49.77. and that Lynch delivered to
| him the original deed of trust and other
papers connected with the transaction. 1t
is declared that Nelligan was not advis-
| ed to have the deed of trust released from
| record, being unacquainted with the con-
veyance laws of the District of Columbia.
| The complaiDants aver that the associa-
| tion claims Lynch did not pay 1t the money
| received by him from Nelligan,' and say
that officers of the association having
learned that the deed OF trust stands un-
+ released on the records, now insist that
the same is valid lien upon the real es-
| tate. The complainants ask the court to
| restrain the officers and directors of the as
sociation from taking any action under the
deed of trust and that Woodward and
White be required to execute to the COM
plainants a certificate of release of the
real estate from the deed of trust
