EDDY CASE GOES BACK TO COURT So-Called Next Friends File Motion to Have Their
 Action Dis
 missed. MASTERS DRAG
 THEIR INQUIRY Defendants Counsel Object To Withdrawal Before Competency is De-
 cided.

Concord, N. H., Aug. 21--A sudden though not wholly unexpected ending of the masters hearinrJn connection With the suit in equity brought by rel atives for an accounting of the proper ty of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eduy leader of the Christian Science faith, came in the superior court room here to-day, when former Senator William E. Chandler, senoir counsel for the rela- tives, or next friends" announced to the board of masters that they had filed motion with the superior court to dismiss their action. The suit was brought on the ground that Mrs. Eddy, being incompetent on account of age and infrmities to manage her own af- fairs, was the victim of persons asso- ciated with her in Christian Science work, who were named defendants in the equity suit, The masters, three in number, were appointed by the super for court to determine the question of Mrs. Eddy's competency, and hearings before them have been in progress for several days.
 The announcement that petition for the dismissal of the suit had been filed with the superior court had been antic- lpated on account of many private conferences which had been held be- tween opposing counsel. In fact it was predicted with confidence by some interested persons last night, that an agreement would be reached before the opening of the hearing to-day
 The reason for the petition for dis missal, as made known at the hearing to-day by Mir Chandler, was the be- lief that success along the lines de- sired could not be obtained and the rprofitableness of any immediate re- suit of a decision in favor of the next friends for the exact issue as now framed, compared with the burdens and disadvantages to be endured both be- fcre and after such a decision.
 General Frank S. Streeter, counsel for Mrs Eddy. objected to a dismissal of the case before the question of com potency had been decided by the mas ters in view of the possibility that af- ter Mrs. Eddy's death attempts might be made in behalf of the relatives to break her will, in which he intimated provisions had been made for carry ing on the work in which she is inter- ested The masters decided, however, that under the Instructions given them by the court. they could not proceed in view of the filing of a motion with the court to dismiss the case and an- rounced that they would so report.
 With the termination of the proceed ings before the masters the case reverts to the superior court on the question of petition to dismiss the original suit. There Is little doubt among those in terested that Judge Chamberlain, be- fore whom the action was brought, will grant the motion,

RECEIVER NAMED
 FOR PORTLAND BANK Cashier Bought and Sold se- curities Without Direc-
 tors Authority. POOR PEOPLE ARE LOSERS Other Banks of the City Do Not Respond to Call
 for Aid.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 21.-The Port land Trust & Savings bank of this city did not open for business to-day. A notice posted by order of the board of directors announced the inability of the bank to realize on securities, and another notice stated that the bank was closed by orderof the circuit court for Multonoham county. Thomas C. Dew lin, formerly county auditor has been appointed receiver. The bank is capi- talized for $100,000. Its deposits ten days ago amounted to about $S,000, 900. A statement issued May ' shows that its deposits then were $2464 APO, and it's liabilities S2.63S,420.
 That the directors of the institution, of which w. Fl. Moore is president and 10. r, Lytle vice president, knew of the impending crash several days ago, leak ed out by an announcement to-day that q meeting of the bankers of the city had been held last night to consider the situation. The banks called upon for support did not respond to the ap- peal
 In an interview, Vice President Lytle placed the responsibility of the failure upon the shoulders of w. Cooper Nor without authority of the board of di rectors, Morris bought securities for hundredsof thousands of dollars. and sold the securities for large sums. and last Thursday without authority Morris took home bonds Of telephone compa- ny amounting to S1,sOOOOO, and went to New York to disposeof them, evidently with the idea of obtaining funds to place the bank on a better financial basis. While Lvtle is severe in hls condemnation of the business methods of Cashier Morris, friends of Morris, however say he acted within his rights, and had the bank been allowed to do business for few more days. Morris would have placed it upon It's feet It is known that the bank owned val uable real estate and other securities The denositors are mainly of the poorer and middle c!asses

Place Bolt on Tracks of the Consolf-
 dated Road.

Plymouth, Mass, Aug. 2t.-Two boys who placed a bolt on a rail, wrecked the afternoon train from Providence to Plymouth on the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad at a point one mile west of the station here to- day. None of the passengers was in- jured but the engineer and fireman were severely hurt The locomotive was demolished but the passenger coaches did not leave the irons.
 The wreck occurred while the train was on a down grade and at a curve in Q deep cutting east of the Standish avenue station. The train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour when suddenly the locomotive jumped from the rails and ran along the road bed for a distance of 200 feet The pi- lot struck the sand bank and the en- zine was partly buried. Engineer Col by of Providence and his fireman, Will liam Hefferman, also of that city, were caught in their cab by mass of sand which forced the roof down upon them Colby sustained a bad scalp wound and injuries to an arm and leg. The fre- man had his left arm broken and one of his legs was scalded and bruised.
 A fattened bolt was found near the point of the derailment. The engine men saw two boys run away just be- fore the locomotive left the track.
