Former New York Director in Mary
land COMPANY Receivers S5S DAG.

NEW YORK. March ANDREW Freed
man. once partner of Richard Croker in
the Maryland Fidelity and Casualty Com
pany. has recovered judgment through a
jury in the supreme court after a trial be-
fore Justice O'Gorman, against the Mary
land Casualty Company, the successor OF
the old organization. for SIS, 0i6. Freedman
was resident director of the company from
1888 to September. 1893. He had a salary
of 5000 year. besides commissions on the
New York business and bonuses.
He claimed that his salary for two years
prior to the termination of his contract
with the defendant company had not been
paid. amounting to $1,000: that commits
sions on these two years, aggregating like
sum. were still due; that large bonuses had
not been paid, and that his commissions
on excess premiums had also been left I'M
paid. The amount sued for was awarded
by the jury.
Freedman alleged that a second sum was
due him for excess premiums amounting to
about $4,000 and his counsel. Samuel IN

ART MUSEUM GETS $5,ooo,ooo.
Massachusetts, Supreme Court Upholds
Salisbury Gift to Worcester.

BOSTON. March 1.-The gift of 5000 900
by Stephen Salisbury OF Worcester to his
self-founded Worcester Art Museum is Sc
cure. The attack of the relatives upon the
validity of the gift was frustrated by de-
cision sent down by the full bench of the
supreme court yesterday.
The heirs declared the museum had the
legal capacity as a corporation to own and
hold property up to only 81, 100000, and
they wanted leave to have quo warranto
proceedings brought against the museum
to show by what legal right it should take
the whole gift. But the museum was au-
thorized by the 1905 legislature after Sails
bury's death, to hold property of the value
of $3,COO,OOO The court decided that it
was for the state to make the objection Of
want of sufficient capacity in the museum
to take more than 81 100000 of the gift and
that 1t waived that right to object by the
1906 legislation.
1t also decides on the merits of the gift
itself, and that it was given for a general
charitable purpose, though simply to the
museum by name, for the benefit of all the
people of Worcester By virtue of it being
a public charitable gift it's validity was be-
yond question and not open to any objection
from his relatives.

TRENTON, NJ j., March 1.-The pas
sage by the state senate yesterday of the
voting machine local option bill is supposed
to mark the Punishment Of the machines
from the state. 1t is expected to pass the
house without serious opposition
For five years the state has purchased
these machines in lots. until now there is
about 100000 invested in 800 of them. The
people found it hard to "get the hang of
them, and voters have stayed away from
the polls rather than exhibit their inability
to comprehend them.
Besides, 1t was brought out in the debate

STILL CLAIMS THRONE.
Duke of Cumberland Will Not Re.
ncunce His Right.

BERLIN, March 1.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low presided yesterday at a meeting OF
the federal council, at which the question
Of the succession to the throne of the
Duchy of Brunswick was considered. The
diet of Brunswick on October % last
adopted the proposal of the council of state
of Brunswick that the Duke OF Cumber-
land. heir to the throne should have three
months in which to decide whether he
would give up his claim to the Hanoverian
crown and thus reconcile himself with
Prussia, with the alternative that If he
did not do so the diet would elect a
sovereign of Brunswick from the collateral
lines.
The duke on December II issued a mani
festo saying that he was unable to give
up his claim to the throne of Hanover and
proposed to leave the solution Of the legal
question whether his son. Ernest Angus
tus, shall succeed to the throne of Bruins
wick to the decision of the imperial courts
The federal council today decided unani-
mously that the status quo was not altered;
that is to say that under the present cir
cumstances no member of tn house of
Cumberland will be allowed to succeed to
the throne Of Brunswick.

Tug Eugenia Raised.

The little tug Eugenia. belonging to the
Smoot Sand Company of this city, which
was reported sunk in Piscataway creek last
Monday. has been raised and is again in
service. The floating of the little craft
was completed Wednesday night, a light
scow having been used to get her on even
keel SO that she could be pumped out at
low water. When that was done she soon
came to the surface. and after cleaning her
up steam was made on her and she came
up to Alexandria yesterday afternoon tow
ing long string of scows loaded with sand
and gravel. 1t was thought that some re-
pair work would be necessary to the tug
before she could go into commission. but it
was found that she was practically I'M
harmed by the accident. The draft of the
Eugenia being too great for ordinary serv-
ice in Piscataway creek is said to be re-
sponsible for her going ashore. AS soon as
she struck bottom in shoal water she fell
over on her side and the water coming up
on her deck flowed into her hold through
the openings into her coal bunkers.
