"ti-Juli [up CASE.
The Reorganization Committee Wins
3. Signal Victory.
JUDGE O’BRIEN’S DECISION.
He Declares That the Plaintifi‘s Have Re-
course Through the Usual Legal
Channels as Defendants Are
Absolutely Solvent.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. -—Judge O’Brien in
supreme court chambers today denied the
application for an injunction to restrain
the reorganization committee of the Whis-
ky trust from bidding on the 18 distilleries
which will be offered for sale' by the re-
ceiver of the trust tomorrow. . ‘
Under the scheme proposed by the re-
organization committee the new company
is to be capitalized at $35, 000,000, and the
old trust stockholders are to receive share
for share in the stock of the new concern.
. The application for an injunction was
made by Samuel Untermyer on behalf of
Frederick Onnes and George M. Pynchon,
the alleged owners of 15,000 shares of the
old company’s stock.
They alleged that the result 0f the Ehorror-—namcly, the certainty that they
. did not suffer long.
scheme of the reorganization committee if
carried out would be to perpetuate the old
monopoly of the Whisky trust in a new
uise, and that the committee would be
oisting on the speculating public $35, 000, -,
000 worth of stock on property purchased
for not over $10, 000,000, and that the en-
tire scheme was a gigantic stock jobbing
operation. -
The decision of Judge O’Brien, which
is in favor of the reorganization commit-
tee, makes it clear that those stockholders
who do not approve of the committee’s
scheme have recourse in law for any in-
justice they may sustain.
Justice O’Brien’s Decision.
J ustice'O’Brien’s decision is as follows:
“It will be impossible within the time
allowed for a decision to recite the com-
plicated facts and discuss the «many inter-
esting questions of law involved. It is
perhaps unnecessary, as those in interest
have since become familiar through the
courts, with the history of the Distillng
and Cattle Feeding company. I will con—
tent myself, therefore, with briefly stating
my views on the present motion, which
seeks to obtain an injunction during the
pendency of this action.
“The plaintiffs are holders of 15, 200
shares of the company, and these, together
with an assessment of $4 per share, mak-
ing $60, 800, have been deposited with the
Manhattan Trust company, pursuant to a
plan of reorganization. This suit, among
other things, is brought to have such plan
declared illegal and void and secure a re-
turn of the stock and money deposited. It
is claimed that the reorganization agree-
ment is invalid because it involves:
“First—The perpetuation of the mo-
nopoly of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
company, which has been adjudged con-
trary to public policy.
‘ ‘ Second—The unlawful use of $35, 000, -
000 of stock upon the~basis of property
which is not worth to exceed $10,000,000.
“Third—The unlawful use of $7,000,-‘
000 preferred stock. '
“Fourth—Tho creation of an illegal
voting trust.
“ If the agreement was susceptible of but
one construction, and that the one given
to it by the plaintiffs, then there would
be force in the contention that the plan
proposed is illegal. The agreement does
not bind. the committee to any fixed plan.
It cannot be assumed in advance of the
action of the committee that they will
proceed unlawfuly. The effect of an in-
junction at the present time would be to
prevent the purchase by the committee of ‘
property for which, by permission of the
United States circuit court, they have
been allowed to bid.
Monopoly VVon’t Be Tolerated.
“It is, moreover, important to the stock-
holders that the property should not be
sacrificed, and if, after purchasing, the
committee should attempt to reorganize
the former monopoly, the courts will not
hesitate to again intervene and prevent it.
There are unquestionably features in the
agreement which look like an investing of
the committee with power to rehabilitate
the old company. The questions relating
to the issue of the preferred stock and the
common stock for such a. large amount are
of doubtful legality.
“These questions should not be de—
termined on a. motion, but should be re-
served for that deliberation and considera-
tion which is to be had upon a trial.
Apart from the legality or illegality of the
organization agreement, the question pre-
sents itself whether or not the plaintiffs
have not the right to withdraw.”
Continuing, Justice O’Brien says that
it might‘ bring about a clash of jurisdic-
tion for the court to enjoin the committee
from purchasing.
“It has been shown that the committee
is solvent and responsible, having more
than $1,000, 000 on hand, and in a. position
to respond to any damage that plaintiffs
may suffer. If, against their protest, the
committee now proceed, the plaintiffs, if
successful in their suits, would be entitled
to a return of the stock or its value, to-
gether with the cash deposited. The com-
mittee, it cannot be assumed, will run the
risk of personal liability by a failure to re-
tain until the termination of this suit a
sufficient amount to cover the plaintiffs’
claim. Motion for a preliminary injunc-
tion accordingly denied. "

MORE BODIES FOUND.
the Number Killed In the Ireland Buiild-
ing Now Reaches Sixteen.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Anothcr body
was found in the ruins of the Ireland
building today, bringing 'the number
found there up to 15 and the total of those
killed by the accident to 16. The Worst is
now believed to be known.
The wrecking crew believe that there
ls another body in the ruins, which will
soon be reached, and that still another
may be found farther on, but they can-
not be sure. They will keep on digging
until they have made sure beyond a
ioubt.
The man found today wore blue jeans _
overalls. He was recognized by waiting
relatives as Pietro Marine, an Italian of
- 110 East One Hundred and Twelfth street,
whose name has figured on the missing
list from the beginning.
More than 150 men were at work in the
ruins. An enormous heap of wreckage
testified to their industry. The twisted
iron beams that were hauled out of the pit
lay piled so high in West Third street as
' to entirely obstruct the view of the curi-
ous crowd that still keeps pacing the op-
‘ posite sidewalk, staring aimlessly at the
place where so many human beings per-
. lshcd in a moment, most of them probably
without knowing what struck them. The
appearance of the bodies as they are
brought out brings the only relief to the
They were crushed
to (loath instantly, every one.
The wrecking contractors’ pay is ad-
vanced by the city and forms thereafter in
suchcascs as this a kind of lien upon the
pro ,ty, which holds against it until set-
tled. It may yet take days to clear away
the heavy mass of iron which remains in
the pit.
It was shown by the investigation that
the pillar which formed the contai- of the
; fallen section was driven several feet into
the ground through the broken foot plate
and stone block upon which it stood, and
through the concrete foundation. This
sufficiently proves that at that particular
point the floors were overloadé'd.
The ultimate cause of the collapse must
yet be sought in the foundation itself,
when it is removed, and beneath it. The
presumption of quicksand is strengthened
by the recollection of the trouble experi-
enced by the builders of the elevated rail-
road at that precise point. The road turns
into Third street directly in front of the
building. When the foundation was built
for the pillars that bear the track, the
treacherous 'quicksand was encountered,
and many piles had to be driven before a
safe foundation was foundto build upon.
Piles were driven, too, for the wrecked
building, and it is remembered that the
ground was very soft and yielding. If there
are piles under the foundation of the pillar
that fell and caused the collapse, it is evi-
dent that they must have given way, and
the quicksand theory accounts fully for
the disaster. The functionaries on duty
at the ruins, beyond demonstrating the
fact that the foundation gave way, will
advance‘no statement as to why it did so.
Chinese Farming In Canada.
LIONTREAL, Aug. 14.—The Chinese
colony in this city is considering the ques-
tion of purchasing a 60 acre" farm in the
vicinity of Longue Points, to grow vege-
tables for market. The promoters of the
scheme are merchants here. It is the in-
, tention of the Chinese to purchase acidi-
: tional land just as soon as they get every-
thing in running order. The move was
' necessary owing to the remarkable growth
of the Chinese colony in this city.

l MARQUIS lNDItTEll.
He Is Accused of Having Murdered the
Child of His Wife.
A BIG SCANDAL IN THE CASE.
the Boy Was Born Before the Marquis
Had Married, and His Paternity Is _
Only Suspected—The Wife Is
Thought to Have Informed.
BOURGES, Aug. 14.—Thc indictment
court here has committed the Marquis de
Nayve for trial at the Cher assizes on the
sliarge of murdering the illegitimate son
of his wife. The case is a sensational one.
The Marquis dc Nayve has been impris-
oned since the middle of J uly, 1894, await-
lng trial for the murder of a son his wife
had before his marriage. His arrest at the
railway station at Guctin as he was return-
lng from a trip through Switzerland to
his chateau at Presles in the commune of
Duffy, on the banks of the Loire, caused a
tremendous sensation throughout the dis-
trict. The marquis was one of the leading
personalities in the department and was
reputed to be a man of great benevolence,
altIIOugh it was known that in his youn-
ger days he had sown more than a fair
share of wild oats and dissipated a large
patrimony before marrying the rich heiress
whose illegitimate child he is charged with
having murdered.
He was born at Grenoble in 1849, and is
now, therefore, in his forty-sixth year. Al-
though at the time of his arrest it was not
known exactly on what grounds the gen-
darmes laid hands on him at Guetin, un-
der warrant from the judicial authorities
at St. Amand. the socialist faction created
a hostile manifestation against the pris-
oner as he was marched on foot to La
Guerche, where a special train took him
to St. Amand, where he was incarcerated
immediately. . .
Very soon it became known that the
marquis was accused of having thrown his
wife’s son into the bay of Naples from the
cliffs along the Sorrentc road' after hav-
lng stunned him with a heavy instrument.
[t was also said that the youth had been
stabbed before being thrown from the cliffs
into the bay, but this version was after-
Ward denied.
Accused by His Own Wife.
It transpired that the denunciation
which caused the marquis’ arrest ema-
nated from his own wife. Friends of the
marquis added that the boy had not been
murdered. but was of a despondcnt nature
and had committed suicide by jumping
from a cliff during the tour through Italy,
on which the marquis had taken him in
the hope of dispelling his gloominess.
The marquis’ partisans further stated
that his wife had concocted the murder
story in order to rid herself of the mar-
quis so that she might marry a priest who
had lived with the Nayvcs ever since their
marriage and had been the boy’s tutor, if
not his- father. Thc fact that Mme. do
Nayvc about this time introduced a suit
for divorce against the prisoner lent some
color to this theory, and in the absence of
anything but hearsay evidence and Mme.
de Nayve’s denunciation it was thought at
one time that the prosecution would be
abandoned.
The procuror general at Bourgcs, M.
Bourgeois, was removed to , Douai at this
period of the case, and it was rumored
that his displacement was due to his un-
willingness to shelve the case. Some
weeks later, though, the marquis was still
under arrest, and it was announced that
M. Albert Danet of Paris was retained as
,his counsel, and that the trial would take
place in J auuary, 1805. Commissions to
examine witnesses had meantime been col-
lecting evidence in Italy, Paris, Orleans,
Havre and in the department of the Cher.
Voluminous, however, as this evidence
was, it all proved to be circumstantial and
indecisive, and before the January ses-
sions opened the authorities decided to
postpone the trial till April in order to col-
lect further evidence. When the assizes
commenced at Bourgcs on April 29, it was
found that the Nayvc case was not on the
cause list, and the matter was postponed '
until today.
