Obligation.

The annual meeting of the Morris
Canal and Banking Company was held
In Jersey City yesterday. at which the
retiring directors were reelected.
Interesting developments had been
expected at the meeting, in view of the
fact that the Stock Exchange firm of
Dick Bros. & Co. had been soliciting
proxies for the purpose of sending a
representative u investigate conditions
surrounding the relations existing be-
tween the company and the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, After the
meeting, however, a member of the
firm of Dick Bros. & Co. stated that
nothing of public interest had been
transacted
The property of the Morris Canal and
Banking Company was leased to the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for
a term of 999 years from April /, 1871,
the lessee assuming the bonds of the
company. and guaranteeing 10 per
cent. dividends on the preferred stock
and 4 per cent. on the consolidated
stock. The guarantees have, become a
burden to the Lehigh Valley since the
canal has ceased to be operated, and
the company seeks relief from its OBJ
legation.

CAMORRTST, ACCUSED,
DENIES MURDER PLAN.
Calls Betrayer Vicious; Charges
Him With Revenge.

vITERBO, Italy, April THE jury
in the Camorra trial listened today to
the interrogation and defense of Gui-
seppe de Marinis, who is charged with
having planned the murder of Gennaro
Cuoccolo and his wife Maria. De Mari
mis- has been frequently arrested III
Naples, the accusations against him
including robbery, assault and murder,
and he has served brief sentences OF
Imprisonment.
In forging the chain of evidence
against the thirty-six Camorrists, the
GARDENERS claimed to have found If
De Marinis's house a postal card adj
dressed to him by Luigi Arena, and ask
ing for the death of Cuoccolo because
he had betrayed the writer to the au-
thorities. In telling the story of tho
murders Abbatemaggio had said that
such a postcard had been written, and
thai Immediately upon its receipt by
De Marinis the assassinations were
planned.
Replying to questions by President
Bianchi, De Marinis said that Arena
had never written him. He could not
recall ever having met the man. He
denied that he had received the ring
supposed to have been taken from the
hand Of the dead man. AS for the
Cuoccolos he did not know either Of
them. At the time Of their deaths he
was In Naples. zaisf
De Marinis said that Abbatemaggio
was satisfying a personal grudge, ex-
planning the affair as follows:
"Abbatemaggio was for a time my
stable boy receiving from me SIS a
month. He" proved a very bad young
man. He stole a gold chain from my
porter, assaulted the porter s sister and
bit my coachman, drawing blood.
when I heard of his foul deeds !
dismissed him from my employ, saying,
Tel that ruffian to come into my
presence again. otherwise l will cripple
him with a club This was the cause
of Abbatemaggio's rancor leading to the
present attempt at a terrible revenge
