WANT RECEIVER TO
FAKE NEW CONTRACTS.
Creditors of NewelI=Smith Granite
Company File Petition--Newell
Interests Are Opposed.

The affairs OF the Newell Smith
Granite company Of Westerly. were
again scussed in the appellate court
today. Some weeks ago there We're sew
eral hearings in court In which the dis
pute between the Newell interests and
the SIN tn interests was thoroughly
gone over, and the result OF those hear
ings was the appointment of Louis NJ
Cook, Esq. as receiver. The Newells
and the Smiths who ran quarries. the
latter for very many years. i'm Wester-
ly, consolidated their interests some
thing over a years ago and after the
death of Orland II. Smith trouble arose.
The case came before Judge Thling-
hast today on the petition OF certain
creditors that the powers of the rccelv-
er be so enlarged so that he might take
new contracts. The Newell Interests
were strongly opposed to the extending
OF the receivers powers. as they claim
ed there might be a loss on the new
contracts and their security on certain
bonds given them at the time OF the
consolidation be weakened. Augustus
>. Miller and a. II. Crafts. who repre-
sented the Neweils asked that the pc
tition be- dismissed as the creditors had
no right 10 interfere as the company
was solvent.
sseebcr- Edwards represented the pc
titioning creditors. Walter y. Vincent
who represents the Smith interests told
20 the receiver without solicitation
some $4,000 or $4,000 worth Of contracts
and these the receiver Ind 90 refuse
az his powers were limited by the or

London. June 2i.--It was announced
today that Shamrock is practically
ready for launching. Interest in the
challenger Increases in all quarters as
the hour approaches for her to glide
into the water.
Shamrock was thoroughly inspected
yesterday by lord Charles Bcresford.
the naval expert. He was accompanied
by a number OF members OF parliament
and n party OF friends. Lord Beresford
expressed surprise and delight with the
Shemr0ck's novel construction. He gave
II as an expert opinion that the perfec-
tion OF strength and lightness had been
attained by Designer Fne.
So far as the metals used In sham
rock we're concerned lord Beresford
was positive there was nothing better
obtainable for the purpose. He refused
20 give expression 10 an expert opinion
on Shamrock's lines. but was emphatic

building Of the boat were perfect.

receiver thought IL would be for the
advantage OF the company TO I'LL the
orders. he did not ask for increased
powers. Mr.. Cook said he thought IL
not strictly proper TO ask for an in
crease of his own powers. but that
he thought the contracts should be
taken. He was then made party to
the proceedings and signed the BILL
MIR. Miller objected 70 such course
saying that the present petition should
be dismissed and a new one brought
by the receiver.
When the court decided against him
Mr.. Miller asked for an opportunity
20 introduce testimony to show thar
the taking OF new contracts by the
receiver would not be advantageous TO
the parties interested In the company
and also wished to submit authorities
to show that "A receiver pendente lite
had no power 20 take new contracts.
AT the close Of the hearing Judge
Tillinghast asked that authorities be
submitted on the proposition that IL
was the duty OF the receiver simply TO
preserve, secure and use the property
and set the case down for hearing on
the question OF fact In regard 10 the
benefit TO be derived from taklns new
contracts and the objections thereto

HAD BIG ROLL OF BILLS.
wM vstsnn Probably saud From Being Flsscsd
By ThouQhiiul Saloon Keeper.

Michael McDermott, IS years old, and
his brother. Edward. "a years old. came
here from the Togus Soldiers home
yesterday and went to Michael Sulli-
vans saloon at No. a01 Richmond street.
There Michael displayed a large roll of
bills and Sullivan called In Patarolman
Conners, who telephoned TO Lieut..
Lawrence. The latter, with McDon-
aids nephew, went to the saloon,
counted the money. which amounted to
A16 and then the old veteran was sent
to the nephew's house TO be cared for.
Both were under the influence OF liquor
and but for Mr. Sullivan's discovery
and notification OF the police Michael
today would probably have been feeced
by some of the Bowery gang.

The new cup defender Columbia.
which II was expected would have her
trial spin i'm Narragansett bay today,
went aground this forenoon. while the
crew was attempting TO warp her out
from the Herreshoff dock at Bristol TO
a position in midstream and stuck fast
in spite of all efforts TO release her.
A tug which was near at hand took
line aboard and gave several strong
pulls, but the attempt was fruitless and
as the tide was falling steadily. IL was
decided To let the sloop rest until high
water ton ght.
While the mishap is annoying to all
concerned IL is not considered serious
as the sloop rests on soft bottom,
and IL is expected she can readily be
fioated when the tide comes up un-
der her. AS soon as IL was seen that
the vessel was fast. arrangements were
made for the carpenters and painters
whose work had been interrupted, to
go aboard and resume operations and
they were taken out TO the sloop.

sail and forestay sail which had been
