THE MASON FAILURE.
Hearing Before Referee in Bankruptcy
littIefield.
Mr.. CamrbeIrs Petition for Permission 10
Prove Claim Opposed.

A hearing on the matter of Eugene
w. Mason ana John III. Mason, indivi-
dually and as copartners of the firm
on the petition of the trustee. Horatio
n. Campbell, Jr., for permission TO
prove claim, was held before Referee
in Bankruptcy Nathan w. Littleheld
yesterday afternoon.
Arnold Green, Esq. appeared for the
Rhode Island Hospital Trust company.
to object to the granting Of the petit
tion. Mr.. Campbell the petitioner, was
represented by his attorney, Charles C..
Mumford, while William II. Tillinghast
represented Mrs. Amy w. Mason. one
of the largest creditors. II. B. Little
and several other creditors were pres
ent at the hearing.
Mr.. Green argued that the petition
ought not to be granted on the grounds
that the money was raised on notes for
the benefit of the partnership and the
claim was in effect a partnership claim
and therefore could not be proved
against the estate OF John ii. Mason
until after all of John H. Masons credi-
tors had been paid in full.
MIR. Mumford contended that the
stocks which were sold for payment OF
notes on which money was borrowed
We're the individual property of Eu-
gene w. Mason, and that they had been
sold for the payment of the indebted
ness Of John III. Mason. He asserted
that it was immaterial what use was
made of the money raised on the notes
so far as the question OF the right 10
prove these claims was concerned. The
banks which held the collateral had al
ready proved claims against the estate
of collateral Owned by Eugene w. Ma
claims had been satisfied by the sale
of calateral owned by Eugene w. Ma
son, the trustee of the estate of Eugene
w. Mason was entitled to be subro-
gated 10 the rights of the party proving
claim upon the notes
Referee Littfield took the papers. and
will hold the case under advisement.

GEO. S. UPSHAW,
EMBALMER.
Choice Company.

Years ago, when railroads were few
there lived about fifty miles back from
Cincinnati, an honest farmer by the
name Of John Allen, sometimes called
deacon" He took the Cincinnati
papers, and from the published reports
of the live stock market, came to the
conclusion that the stock buyers tray.
cling through that section Of the
country were not paying as much as
they ought, according to the Cincin-
natl prices. 1t so happened that
Farmer Allen had for sale several fine
hogs. After mature deliberation he
decided not TO sacrifice twenty per
cent Of their value by selling them
to the country buyers, but to drive
them to Cincinnati and get the top Of
the market.
Accordingly, one COOL crisp, winter
morning Deacon Allen got his hogs
together, and with the good wishes Of
his neighbors who had assembled to
see him oh, started with his drove for
the great wicked city, fifty miles
away.
Two weeks passed without any intel
ligence from Farmer Allen, and near
