VI, Is Engaged in The Con-
Struction Of a Pipe Organ.

completion OF a pipe organ by Samuel

FOR A new TRIAL
Mrs. Barbour Petitions Appellate
Court claims She Was Not
Liable for Payment of Note

The case OF Charles A. Ingraham VS..
Elizabeth Barbour was submitted to the
appellate court today on briefs on defend
ants petition for a new trial.
The defendant endorsed a 60 days note
of her husband. Andrew j. Barbour. dated
April 30th, 1898. for the sum OF ss9.os.
Charles A. Ingraham, the plaintiff, was
the payee.
Mrs Barbour never received any con-
sideration for the endorsement. The con-
sideration of the note was a former note
OF Mr.. Barbour. 1t Is claimed by the
plaintiff that she did not endorse the note
willingly, nor did her husband request
her TO do so. but after much solicitation on
the part of the plaintiff and on his prom
ise that IL Mr.. Barbour did not pay the
note at maturity he, the plaintiff, would
so do. ..t+
The plaintiff admits he told Mr.. and
Mrs. Barbour that he wanted the endorse
ment SO that he could "use the note In
his business" as Commercial paper" TO
raise money on, and so forth. He admits
that he did not at that time intend to
collect the note OF the defendant Mrs.
Barbour. The note was transferred to the
w. Il. Barrett Company in the course
Of business. but IL was not paid at ma
turity and the plaintiff paid II to the COM
pany I'm July, 1899.
In Judge Dubois court a verdict was
given for the plaintiff. new trial Is
asked for on the ground that the defend
ant was only an accommodation endorser
and that there was an agreement that
she should never be called on to pay the
note.
James A. Williams is counsel for the
plaintiff and George A. Littlefeld counsel
for the defendant.

The latest rumor in local commercial
and Industrial circles Is I'm regard to the
probable removal of the international
Power Company from this city to Pater-
son, N. j., but so far IL is only talk. and.
as a matter OF fact. nothing definite Is
known of the matter here.
The rurfior, OF course, originated over
the report that Joseph Letter. the young
Chicago speculator, was negotiating for
the purchase OF the Rogers Locomotive
works OF Paterson.
4 being a we'll known fact that Mr..
Letter is interested with the Hoadleys I'm
the International Power company. II was
very easy to circulate a story OF the
transfer of the works from Providence TO
Paterson.
Some time ago Il was reported that the
Messrs Hoadley were considering the
question OF removing their plants from
Providence TO some other city, and those
who have followed the matter are OF the
opinion that ~ the Paterson plant can be
secured Providence will lose one OF Its
present large and quite important Indus
tries.
NEGOTIATIONS ARE PENDING.
AS matters now stand at Paterson, IL
appears that a committee of responsible
business men OF that city has for several
weeks been endeavoring 20 organize a
company TO purchase and operate the
Rogers plant. The Katz Brothers OF the
Paterson Brewing and Mating company,
have been most active in this undertake
ing
The proposed capital Of the company is
1000. and nearly the entire amount has
been subscribed, II is said, and the option
of this committee will expire ,nis after
noon.
