Counsel far Blun said that the Mercantile com?
pany was engaged In guaranteeing mercantile
firms against loss from ?redit customers. The
Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation was
nnxiou?, to go into bualaoss in the United Stat. s,
and opened negotiations for the purchase of the
Mercantile company. Seven directors of this com?
pany met, counsel *aid. on March 23, and without
] notice to the shareholders, by a vote of f>ur to
three, decided to transfer its policies to the Eng?
Ush company and ?rind up us ?ifrnirs. James W.
Hlnkley, who was the largest shareholder, owning
?70.000 out of 1200,009 of the capital ntock. vas itp
pointed liquidator. Counsel contended that the
president of the Mercantile company had no rlRlu
to vote for the transfer, aa he was deep!) Inter?
e.-ted in the foreign corporation, and hid he not
voted the motion to consolidate the companies
would have fallen through. The company had
I been doing s g.i business, and was perfi tly sol?
vent when to summarily wound up, and Mr. Blun
end a number of other stockholders w? re opposed
I to the transfer, . M ,,
Ex-Judge A. J. Pillen'.,oefer appeared for the di?
rectors of the Mercantile Company, and argued
that the transfer hau been m.ule in th? Pest Inter?
ests of its stockholders. It was sane Ion? d, he said,
by the holders of 1,400 out i" 1,603 ahar? ol stock
represented at the meeting when the consolidation

ASKS DAMAGES FOR ALIENATION.
A CONTBACTOB BUINO A rOBMCR BUTUOTI FOB
DiaTUBBINO HI3 DOMBaTIC BUSS.
Joseph BarnatO was arrested yesterday St the In?
stance of Herman Masche, B contractor who for?
merly employed him, and was lodged in Ludlow
Street Jail In default of $;so bait The srresl was
the result of an order Issued by Justice O'liwyi r, of
tiie city Court, la an action brought hy Masche
against the prisoner to recover IMM damages for
alienating the affections of Mrs. Ifaache.
The contractor's complaint unfolds at length tho
story of his alleged wrongs. At the age of nine?
teen, Masche saya he left his home in Berlin and
went to Metz, where he ? stored the German Army.
While at Mets, it seems, the imperial un.form of
til" German War Lord captivated MISS Marie F<dd,
and Masche made h. r his ?rife In October. 1STS. Two
years later ihe eoupio arrived In this country nnd
mads {few-York their home. The conjugal happl?
ni ? of the couple remained undisturbed unUI ISM,
when, Masche alleges, unfortunately for himself. Re
had among his employes th>> defendant, Barnato,
who about this time began to pay niark-d and un?
due attention to Mr-, Masche. On November 7,
Lan, Mas he avers, be returned home only to find
that his wife had eloped with the prisoner. After
a week's sojourn with him she returned, expressed
her profound regret at her conduct and begsed her
husband's forgiveness. This being given, she be?
came if anything, her husband says, a more de?
voted nnd loving spouse than ev< r. The husband,
howe er, determined to even matters with Barnato,
and armed with a warrant and with th>- support of
a policeman went in pursuit of the enemy. Bar?
nato "Rot wind" of his Intention, however, Masche
saya and kept discreetly und.-:' cover,
Masche in his complaint goes on lo tell that noth?
ing disturbed the serenity of his domestic life for
over two years, but In September 1894, Barnato ma?
terialized once more, having learned that Masche
was a prisoner In Ludlow Street J.ui for contempt
of court, He swears that Barnato, learning of his
misfortune, took advantage of it and called on his
former Inamorlta, who was bemoaning her hus
ban r ? fate.
Masche alleges that Barnato, "by practising the
cunning arts .,i lovemaklng and battery" on Mrs,
M .- he, su? eeded In alienating her affection from
plaintiff, so that on his return from jail he found
that his wife had gone away With tho prisoner.
She has not yet returned.
