and that the other four candidates, Ho-
gate, Haggard, Posey and Dodge were
classed by themselves. The succeeding
ballots steadily narrowed the margins, I'M

ened was during the nomination for re-
porter of the Supreme Court. The Marion

and the roll called. one member en-
deavored to vote a proxy, but it was chal-
lenged on the ground that ii was illegal
because ii did not bear a revenue stamp.
Excitement quickly started and a ruling
from the chair was called for. Acting
Chairman Congressman Watson ruled
that the absence of a revenue stamp did
not invalidate the proxy, and that Il could
be voted After time order was restor-
ed and balloting proceeded.

A RECEIVER APPLIED FOR.
National Linseed OIL Company Is in
the Courts.

National Linseed Oil Company Is in
the Courts.
Chicago, April 26.-Ltigation against the
National Linseed Oil Company was revived
in the United States Circuit Court to-day
when the appointment of receiver was
asked by stockholders having 1900 shares
of the capital stock of the company.
The compliments are James Clark of
Plainfeld, NJ j.; Walter NJ. Mccain of
DesMoines and j. W. Brooke, H. b. Scott
and w. W. Baldwin of Burlington, Ia.
The petitioners ask on behalf of them
selves and the other stockholders of the
concern, that the court take the affairs of
the national company under its control ana
appoint a receiver to administer and dis
tribute the assets remaining ever since
the national company was bought out by
the American Linseed Company a few
years ago. The defendant company went
out of business at the time its property
was purchased, but the complainants as
sert that there are still some outstanding
accounts amounting to about 100000 which
will be lost unless a receiver is placed in
charge. (
Il is also claimed by the petitioners that
the stockholders have a right to the mon
ey aggregating about $4,000, and to have
been lost by the President and directors
of the national company while specializing
in fax seed on the board of trade. The
American Linseed Company, which holds
most of the asets of the former concern,
is not made party to the suit.
After the increase of capital stock in
1880 the company acquired about fifty
large mills and plants in all parts of the
country, adapted for the manufacture of
linseed oil The mills are said to have been
worth about 100000. Alexander Euston
was at that time elected president of the
company. 1t is charged that from that
time the assets of the company We're not
administered in good faith, and that the
president and directors were negligent of
the interests of the stockholders. 1t Is
said the London Share and Debenture
Company of England paid Euston go 600
margins, which he had put up from time
to time, on account Of the purchase of
6G0 shares of stock. 1t is said he had
advanced these margins with money from
the company
In his attempt to corner" the flaxseed
market 1t is charged that the president
used the companys money to the extent
OF several hundreds of thousands of dol
lars; that his speculations were In vain
and stock declined with a considerable
loss to the company.

Suit Against Them by the United
Press of New York.


New York, April 26.-The action at law
begun to-day by the assignee of the United
Press of New York against the morning
papers of Baltimore, viz: the Baltimore
American, the Sun, the Baltimore Herald,
and Baltimore Correspondent for damage
for alleged breach of contract which has
been on trial before Judge OGorman and
a jury in tho Supreme Court in this city,
for several DAYS, was terminated to-day
after the evidence for the plaintiff had
been submitted, the court instructing The
Jury to bring in a verdict for the defend
ants and also ordering the plaintiff TO pay
a special allowance of 81 $50 10 the defend
ants attorneys.
1t was developed at the trial that the
Baltimore papers had held contracts VITA
the New York Associated Press. which the
plaintiff contended had been assigned to
It when the New York Associated Press
ceased business in 1898. The defendant
papers in 1895 Joined the Associa'ed Press
and the present action was begun for dam
ages for the alleged breach of contract.
The testimony given at the trial showed
that the plaintiff company had never is
sued any contracts to the Baltimore pa
pers. and that the only contracts issued by
the United Press were issued by an Illi-
nois corporation Of the same name. The
court held therefore, that the United
Press of New York had no standing in
court and dismissed the suit with costs.
