BIC coNTEsT FOR CONTROL

l T
 The opinion of Judge Hall of the su- preme court bench, was filed here yes terday in the matter of George H Cloves vs. Charles H. Miller, the suit for the control of the big copper and brass works in Waterbury
 The upper court has reversed the de- cision in this case, which was for the plaintiff in the lower court. The prop erty at issue is worth half million or more Cloves wished to get control of it and take it to Buffalo and nearly everybody in Waterbury, it appears when the decision of the lower court came out, supposed that he would
 The upper court puts quietus on the matter by reversing the decision of the lower court. Judge Halls opinion is closely typewriter, and covers ten pages.
 The general drift of 1t seems to be that the shares in the Randolph Gloves company were placed in the hands of an administrator to sell for the benefit of the Randolph estate, and the upper court frowns upon the claim of Gloves to a right under a contract to buy just enough of this stock to gain control of the company and do what he pleased with it. The upper court says that Mill Ter has put s400,000 into the concern.
 All of the judges concurred in Judge Halls opinion.

 SAVINGS BANK DIVIDENDS.

Belief That S1a Per Cent. Will Soon
 Govern All New York Institutions. New York, Dec, 24.--Only four saw. ings. banks in this city, the Seamen's. East River, Bank for Savings and Iry ing Savings bank, will continue per cent. dividends next year. The others will pay 31a per cent. The action of the Metropolitan Savings bank in reducing it's dividend to the lower rate yesterday was commended to-day as being in line with conservative management The bank has long been known as well man. aged, and, according to its president, only took the step after due delibera- tion and for the purpose of insuring it's depositors absolute security. With the lower investment yield now obtainable from high class securities and the tax
 imposed by the state, it was pointed out that 3ls per cent was the highest rate that bank under the circumstances could reasonably declare. The Will liamsburgh Savings bank has also adopted the lower rate of interest. Only a few banks now pay per cent. to de- positors. and those will. it is believed, cut down the rate within year or so

Why He Payors a Lottery.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: This j;
fine country for the old soldier without
home to come to. /, with a great many
comrades, wish you to use your influence
in favor OF the draw instead of the race
to secure homes. l will give reasons. The
business men, the lawyers ard the cattle,
men all want the horse-race. The cattle,
men say the old soldier was paid for his
services and now draws Il pension, and
ought not to have any rights here.
The business men want the run. II
will increase their sales, as thousands OF
people would line up on the border wait
ing their chance.
The cattlemen would have the cow
boys run and secure the lands, and many
would hire the Indians to put u tent on
a choice piece of land and stay until they
arrived, holding it for them, cheating an
honest home e-seeker who might otherwise
have secured n choice piece Of land
Many would go into the country the
day or night before the race, and secure
what they wanted. Some would hide with
the Indians to await the run.
All kinds Of schemes would be used to
cheat the honest settler Men would be
shot. Swindlers would go in gangs TO
swear for each other.
All these things | have heard plauned
and talked Of. The registry and draYing
is the only way to avoid trouble.
| am here to take my chance with 9th
ers, and have not found one comrade or
an honest home-seeker but fayors the
drawing and condemns the horse-race-

Both my grandfathers enlisted in the
Union army at the beginning of the war
and did their part in putting down the
great rebellion. My mothers father,
James ID. Hamilton, was coior-bearer in
the 59th Ind. He died at DanviIIe, KY,
Dec. 1, 1852 My fathers father, George
Q. Davis, was a bugler in the 9th KY.
He was honorably discharged in 1884. He
takes great pleasure in hearing read "Si
and Shorty" He is Ga years old. If this
catches the eye of any of bis old comrades
he hopes they will write to The National
Tribune and tell something of their ad-
ventures in that memorable campaign.
1 will tell one OF grandpa's adventures.
One day while in East Tennessee in the
Winter of '63 they were sent out on an
expedition against some bushwhackers.
They stopped at noon to eat dinner, and
while looking around they accidentally
discovered an old hollow stump. Upon
further investigation it was found to con-
tain a cedar churn full OF homemade
sugar and two nice sides OF bacon You
may be sure that they had a nice dinner.

do the right thing for the old veterans
that are fast passing away. Forty years
have passed by since Fort Sumter was

shamefully treated. Many of them have
never received dollar as pension from

per had been torn off, and only the three
last letters of the name remained (den),
and as the postoffice clerks know NE quite
well, suppose they thought it was meant
for me. However, l received this copy

naturally read it, and became SO inter-
ested in its contents of old yarns and
scenes of my boyhood days that 1 have

after and used to hear the other regf-
ments guy the 7th about the Rogersvills

This was all very interesting to me. as
