CHAIR FOR DR. SToDDARD.
Bible Glass Shows Affection for ST
Johns Rector.

The graduating exercises of the Biblc
Class of st. Johns Episcopal Church were
held yesterday morning in the chapel.
With the exercises came a pleasant sur
prise for the rector, the Rev. E. L. Stod-
dard, Ph.D. The graduating class and
the graduates of a year ago, some OF
whom are now teachers in the Sunday
school, presented DR.. Stoddard with a
handsome cherry chair inlaid with pearl.
Dr. Stoddard was completely surprised
The exercises were well attended and
decidedly successful. The Rev Mr..
Pascal of Hanover, Staten Island, deliv-
cred the sermon. He rwelt at length en-
the work accomplished by the graduates
and wished them success In life.
DR.. Stoddard bade bood-bye to those of
the class who were not to become teach
ers and then presented the diplomas.
The surprise followed Mr. W. A. Amos
of the graduating class, was chosen to de-
liver the presentation speech to DR.. Stod-
dard. Thls he did in somewhat facetious
put thoroughly sincere manner. The class
was in doubt, he said whether to give
the rector yacht or a cottage at New
port, but on serious reflection it was
found that the funds on hand would not
warrant such large expenditure. The
next best thing that could be done was
to purchase an appropriate gift, some
what smaller than those contemplated,
namely a pretty chair. Mr.. Amos men
toned some Of the pleasant times the
class had had under the rector as teacher
and then presented the gift.
DR.. Stoddard thanked his former
scholars warmly for their expression of
esteem, These Were the graduates::-Mr
Edward Burroughs, Mr.. W. A. Amos,
Miss Agnes Anderson, Miss Minnie
Hamm. Miss Anna Anderson, Miss Isa-
belle Shepherd, Miss Louise Morris, Miss
Bessie Crumpp Miss Florence Buckley,

THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY.
Men Fined for Contempt of Court
Will Paw.

Counselor ]. P. Manning, of Newark
this morning applied to Judge Blair in the
Court of General Sessions for review of
the action of Recorder Arthur Greenfield
of East Newark in fining James E. Brown
and John Sullivan, residents of that bor-
ough, $40 each for alleged disorderly con-
duct in his court room on April 20.
From the affidavits filed with the court
it appears that Charles Kerr was before
the Recorder on a charge of assault and
battery. Brown and Sullivan We're wit
nesses and it is claimed interrupted the
proceedings by alling to the defendant to
speak louder. For this the affidavits
claim the men were each fined $40 and
locked up for two days until the amount
was paid
Lawyer Manning claimed that no com
plant was ever made nor any warrant is
sued and therefore the action of the Re
corder was not in accordance with the
statutes defining his powers.
Judge Blair granted the motion and or
dered the papers in the case filed with
the court at once.

The probabilities Of a general strike of

Colored folk rarely settle matrimonial
squalls in the Court of Chancery, but
once in a while they initiate "de white

COPPER TRUSTS RIGHTS
Injunction Enjoining Huge
Combination Dissolved
By Pitney.

Vice Chancellor Pitney has handed
down his opinion dismissing the applica-
ton of Calvin O. Geer for restraining
order forbidding the Amalgamated Cop
per Company from taking over the prop
critics represented by the Boston and
Montana Consolidated Copper ana Silver
Mining Company and the Butte and Bos-
ton Consolidated Mining Company
The estimated cost of the big deal Is
$7o,0OO,0OO, but the question is to be sub
nlitted to the stockholders one of whom
objected and instituted the proceedings
The opinion discusses thoroughly the
question of consolidation of corporations,
the rights of minority and majority
stockholders, the rights and powers os
directors and the theory of the New Jf,r.
sey statutes on corporate interests
With regard to values, says Vice.
Chancellor Pitney, in mis- opinion, sThe
defendant mainly relies upon the facs
that all these litigations-which really
form the gravamen of the attack by the
complainants upon the value to the sew
eral corporations of these properties-are
perfectly we'll known to the public and TO
the stockholders; and that, notwithstand-
ing their existence, not only have large
dividends been made out of the actual
earnings, but the confidence of the public
in the value of the stocks has been mann
tanned, as shown by the prices which they
have commanded
And I may say here that there is not
the least evidence in the cause indicating
that the market for the stocks of these
mines has been manipulated, or, to use
the phrase of counsel, 'rigged' for the
purpose of maintaining them at an un-
usual and forced price. 1t ap-
pears by affidavits that the
Boston and Montana Company is very
rich company, earns large dividends, and
THAT the property of the company is Of
the value of more than $50, 100000
After careful examination of all the
affidavits and the map, I am clearly OF
opinion that it is quite impossible to say,
upon the case made before me, that a
valuation of the property of the Boston
and Montana Company of $56, 900, 900 would
pe excessive or its purchase at that time
lmpiudent. Upon the whole case, then,
and without casting any great burden of
proof upon the complainant, come to the
conclusion that he has failed to show
such lack of value as to induce the
court to continue the restraint
1t is said that when the copper deal is
consummated another billion dollar trust
VIII be incorporated in this State, the OBJ
Ject being to control the copper output

Mrs. Annie Seaburn, forty-eight years
old. of No. 1Ss Steuben street, was found
struggling as if with death yesterday
morning. shortly after twelve o'clock, in

some time no one was able to form any
idea of what the trouble was. Suddenly
one woman screamed

She picked UP bottle containing sew
eral ounces of carbolic acid Several

man was called and Mrs Seaburn was
taken off to the City Hospital. She fought
all the way and carried on generally like
crazy woman. When the hospital was
