SUED BY STOCK BROKER.

The battleship Maine was a factor in
an interesting suit held Tuesday before
Judge Studley in the common pleas
court. The suit is that of Percival r.
Irving, stock broker, against Bernard
J. Dillon, formerly a shoe dealer in this
city, now of New York.
The Maine was blown up on Febru-
airy Is, 1898. On February 16 the mar
ket was strong, not yet feeling the con-
sequences of the disaster, and on that
day, it is stated by Mr.. Irving, Mr.. Dill
len ordered twenty-five shares of Chica-
go and Northwestern at 18TH. The
stock went up point during the day.
but Mr.. Dillon did not sell, as he was
waiting for a further rise. The next
day the Maine horror began to have it's
effect on the market, and Chicago and
Northwestern, as well as every other
stock, began to drop.
Mr.. Irving claims that he called upon
Mr.. Dillon to deposit sufficient to cover
the margin, but Mr.. Dillon made some
excuse about not having the cash ready
that he would do so later. This, Mr..
Irving asserts Mr.. Dillon failed to do,
and on March he sold out the stock at
a loss, including commissions, of $266.36.
He now sues for that amount through
Attorney Harry Asher.
Mr.. Dillon was represented in court
by Attorney James e. O'Connor, and
presented two defenses-firSt that he
countermanded the order for the stock
before it was purchased by Mr. Irving,
and, second, that he did not buy it, but
simply agreed to meet the difference be-
tween the purchase and market price.
The second defense was dropped, and
the case went to the judge on the first
defense only. Judge Studley reserved
his decision.

Sir-In response to your inquiries of

that up to this date Mr.. Macrum, late

ambassador, who made inquiry in re-
gard to it of the British government,
and was informed in return that the
British government was not aware of
any such incident having taken place,
but if anything of the sort had occurred
it was contrary to the Instructions of
that government.
I received no further information in
regard to the matter until the 21st of
this month, when this government was
informed by dispatch from j. G.
Stowe, consul-general Of the United
States at Cape Town, that two letters
from this consulate, one to Pretoria and

Safety of His Command Announced
Beers Ready for Battle.
Pretoria, March 26.-According to a
dispatch from Kroondstadt, Command
ant Olivier has joined Generals Grobler
and Lemner, who are safe. General De-
larey is still sick at Pretoria, but he will
proceed to the front on Sunday. Trains
are frequently leaving with burghers
for the fighting line on this side of
Bloemfontein.
The Standard and Diggers' News
says it learns that Generals Olivier,
Grobler and Lemner have arrived at a
point sufficiently far north to relieve all
apprehensions of the possibility of their
being cut off. 1t is expected they will
arrive at Winburg in a few days and
effect a junction with General DeWet
when the Federals position, it is declar-
ed, will formidably oppose Lord Rob-
erts.
Reports received from the various
banks of the republics show that the
cash holdings amount to e2233, O57 ster-
ling.

of Middletown, has a contract at the
Guilford Pond house in making several
changes in the buildings there and ar
ranging for the erection of a summer
resort to be built by Beecher & Son Co.

PETITION IN BANKRITpTCy

Attorney Martin Conlon will appear
before Judge Townsend in the United
States court next Monday afternoon
and move that Burton +. Cannon, the
George street liveryman, be granted a
discharge in bankruptcy. The case
promises to be the most stubbornly
contested petition in bankruptcy that
has been tried in this district since the
new law went into effect fifteen months
ago.
Cannons petition was opposed when
the matter was heard by Referee New
ton A number of creditors claimed
that the petitioner was concealing as
sets. He was ordered to bring certain
account books into court showing what
became of certain funds, but the books
were not produced.
After several days had been occupied
in hearing the evidence Referee New
ton filed an unfavorable report with
Judge Townsend. AS counsel for the
petitioner had not been notified moth
ing was done in the matter Monday af-
ternoon.

B. A. Upson, Of East Hartford, had a
fall a few years ago, and since then his
body from his waist down has been par
alyzed. Monday afternoon Mr.. Upson
was brought to doctors office in Hart
ford, in an ambulance, and his body
placed under the X-rays. The SUPPOSE
ton of the doctors was that broken or
dislocated bone pressing against the
spine caused the trouble, and for this
reason two photographs were taken of
Mr. Upson's spine. If the photographs
are clear and show that such is the case
an operation will be performed. The

General Petrus Jacobus Joubert COM
acknowledgements of the Transvaal
forces, better known as Pet Joubert or
"Slen Piet" (Slm Peter) was born
about sixty-eight years ago. He was
descended from the old French Hugue-
not family, which settled in South AT
RIGA many years ago He was born in
Cape Colony, but was taken by his pa
rents, when seven years old, to Orange
Free State. where he was taught from
early childhood to shoot straight and
to hate the British. He is described as
having been utterly fearless OF
schooling he had but little. and he never
saw a newspaper until he was nineteen
years old. In spite of this, his ambi-
ton prompted him to read the few
books he could obtain and he succeeded
in obtaining a fair knowledge Of history
and languages.
In consequence of the acquisition of
Natal by the British, he and his family
moved from that part of South Africa
and settled in the Transvaal. Soon af-
forwards he became a Burgher of the
South African republic and a daring
fighter. 1t was claimed in his behalf
that he could lead a body of men more
successfully against hostile natives
than any other man in the Transvaal.
He was. eventually, so feared by the
natives that the knowledge that he was
at the head of a punitive expedition
usually resulted in their surrender.
1t was during these wars with the ma
tives that Joubert became acquainted
with Paul Kduger and the two men be-
came bosom friends. He was elected
vice-president of the Transvaal in 1896
defeated Sir George Colley at Majuba
Hill in 1881, and acted as president of
the republic in 1SS3-S4 during Krugers
absence in Europe
General Joubert was always in favor
of the use of force instead of diplomacy,
and President Kruger on several occa-
sions had great difficulty in REFRESHING
his hot-headed colleague
1t was Joubert who organized the
army of the South African republic, di-
viding the country into seventeen mill
tary departments.
According to the generals plans, eve
ry man became trained soldier with
out leaving his farm and had his equip
ment ready at home. To such point
that when the present war was declared
Joubert, it is claimed, had only to send
seventeen dispatches and within forty
eight hours the Boer nation was in
arms.
The circumstances of the death of
General Joubert are not explained in
the dispatch from Lorenzo Marques,
which recalls the fact that, as cabled to
the Associated Press yesterday, Mr..
William Cox, newspaper correspond
ent, who was recently released from
imprisonment at Durham, said that Cen
eral Joubert was apparently suspected
of half-heartedness, and Mr.. Cox gath
cred that his life would be in danger at |
the hands of the burghers if Pretoria
was besieged.
The wife of General Joubert has been
devoted to him throughout the cam
paign, frequently sharing his dangers in |
the field.
