II has done his share of the party work as be saw It. and has never been accused of hesitating- over the means to attain his end. He was for years a faithful benchman of Senator Roscoe Conkllng. and after the Senator's death served T. C.

Flatt with the same fidelity that he showed toward his former master and he Is still in Mr. Piatt's service. It was Senator Conkllng who had President Grant appoint Mr. Fayn United States Marshal for the Southern tistrlct of New-York, and since then he has always had much party power lr this State, whether in out of efflce. Mr.

Payn Is the Piatt boss In Columbia County, and whatever It has been necessary Jo do In that county to carry out Mr. Piatt's will in the past he has done. Fira'i Since Mr. Payn has been out of office and Mr. Piatt has been In power Mr.

Payn has had great influence with the State Legislature. He has been recognised time and time again as Mr. Piatt's mouthpiece, and so has acquired a power- as a lobbyist greater than that- -which any other man ever had at Albany, not even excepting -Barber. Sharp, or Phelps, with whom during their lives Mr. Payn was- very familiar.

methods that Mr. Payn has employed for his purposes in the past have usually been effective, and many times they have been of the "sledgehammer kind. To do 'bis master's will and benefit himself he baa stopped at nothing, and he has been openly charged with corruption in connection with legislative affairs. "It is a fact that Mr. Payn was the first tnan at the last Republican Gubernatorial Convention to advocate-tbe nomination of Black, and it was Mr.

Payn who first announced that Mr. Black would be nominated, after the slate had been fixed. He has been a warm and close friend of the Oovernor-elect for many years, and the first speech that Mr. Black made during the late campaign, escept in Troy, his home city, was at the Columbia County i'air in response to Mr. Payn's The announcement that Black Intends to appoint Mr.

Payn. record and all, superintendent of Insurance was made. It was said yesterday, for the purpose of seeing how the public would consider it. It was aald that if no great objection were -made by the people and press of the State Mr. Payn would receive hia reward for having engineered Mr.

Black's nomination. Great Ponm Involved. The Superintendent of Insurance is the bead of a distinct department, and Is charged with' the execution of (he laws relating to Insurance of all Rinds within this State. His powers are almost unlimited, and In certain directions his findings are tbe law, for there are many points upon which he, and he alone, can pass, and' matters of vital Importance are left to his discretion. Every Insurance company, whether local or foreign, doing business in this State, Is subject to' his supervision, and its books and business are always subject to bis Inspection.

He may determine to a great extent the securities In which their capital is to be 'Invested; may allow them from time to time to change their investments; may, in bis own way, determine the value of thv lands upon which they invest on bond anil mortgage; may pass upon the value of investments made in other Stales, and, in his discretion, may direct changes in investments and methods of doing business. As no insurance rorporation can trunsact business in this State until ufter it has obtained a certificate from the Superintendent vt Insurance, and as the Superintendent nay refuse to Issue any such, certificate, If, In his juilgment. such refusal will best promote the interests of the people of the is readily seen what a vast power tit given to the man who occupies the position of Superintendent of Insurance. alone-may the Superintendent make Investigations and at any time go into the affairs of any Insurance company, but, under the law. he may appoint any one whom he deems competent to make such an in- Vestigallon, and the expense of the investigation must bu borne by the corporatloa examined.

Larnje Money Inlcrmla Concerned. The office of Superintendent of Insurance really carries with it more power than does any other in the State. The man who fills It Is to to stand between Die policy holders -and -the beneficiaries. To see the enormous amount of business ihat the Superintendent of Insurance ras more or less power over. It is only necessary to turn to the records of the oftlci-.

It will there be found that the totals run Into thousands of millions. Without considering any insurance companies except those that are cull' the "old Hue" life insurance companies, it will be found that In 1SIH -thlrty-tTrTr companies reported as-' sets of and a surplus' for ptlley holders of As- nearly all. of the companies in the United State and many foreign ones do business In this State and are practicallv ubjoct.to the will of this Stale otllcer.

20. Despite the opposition of the Government, tbe Reichstag to-day adopted a motion made by Herr Munckel, Rlchter Radical, to eliminate from the Judicial Procedure bill the clause compelling members of a newspaper staff to testify, when required, as to the authorship of published articles. The Government urged the necessity, in the interests of the State, of tracing the writers of treasonable articles. This contention elicited cutting references from the Opposition to the recent revelations made by Prince Bismarck. The Radicals, Socialists, a majority of the Clericals, and a minority of the National Liberals supported the motion, which, however, will probably amount to nothing, inasmuch as the Bundesrath, or Federal Council, will sacrifice the bill rather than relinquish tbe clause.

1 HAHHISOH AD1HTS FBADD AUSWES IN THE ISTZBSrATIOlJ'-AIi TELEPHONE STJ1T. The Inventor Says He Himself Was Swindled -by His Associates Prominent Politicians Ac- cased of Conspiracy. CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Edward M.

Harrison, the telephone inventor, who-was made a defendant 1n the suit for a receiver tor the Harrison International Telephone Company, brought Oct by two stockholders, to-day filed a long answer, practically admitting all the charges of fraud and wrecking, and. alleging that he was also a victim of the schemes of President JU E. In galls and his associates on the Board of Directors. Among- them he names United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster, George R.

Peck, general counsel of the Paul Railroad; ex-Congressman William Warner of Missouri. R. C. Kerens. Republican National Committeeman from Missouri, and Patrick Egan.

ex-Mlnlster to Chile. Harrison alleges that the company Is utterly insolvent; that its assets have been squandered by officers and Directors, who voted large salaries to themselves and money for mythical expenses. He joins In the petition to have the business wound X)P, and that the men who fraudulently se cured stock be ordered to pay for it. He says all the assets have been absorbed in the Interests of the officers, and the stockholders have been defrauded. He asserts that the contract of May 4 last, transferring the telephone property to the International Construction Company, was not adopted art the annual meeting, and he asks that it be set aside.

The charge Is made that after Harrison retirement from the Directory shares of stock were exchanged for 610 shares of Construction stock, the latter being placed In the hands of R. C. Kerens, Patrick Egan. and C. M.

Ferree, for the benefit of the telephone company. Harrison says that the men who were made Directors were to receive shares at 20 cents -a share for the use of their names, as part of a scheme to entice the public to invest In the SS0.OU0.0uO of capital stock, but as soon as they were elected Directors they donated to themselves each of the treasury stock, and voted stock to Ingalls without consideration. Harrison says he was Induced by the false representations of C. M. Ferree and A.

L. Stone, the promote of the corporation, to transfer to them a two-thirds Interest in his patents and claims, and that Ingalls was aware the patents were worth only The company was Incorporated with capital, on the pretense that a lot of monev was needed to fight the Bell Company, but really to delude the public into believing that vast sums of money had been invested by the Directors. The assertion Is made that P. C. Hanford.

who was the Standard Oil representative In Chicago, killed himself when he learned that he had invested S40.000 In worthless shares of the company. Harrison charges Ingalls with falsifying the minutes of the May annual meeting, which he controlled by holding a big majority of shares. LOOMiS MEMORIAL OPENED. J. P.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court haa reversed a Judgment below, dismissing the suit of John Floettl for damages for personal Injuries received while at work on Park for the Jonson Company putting in appliances to move the can of Third.

Avenue Railroad Company. Floettl was told at 4 A. M. by Jonson Company's foreman to go Into a trench to drill holea on apparatus connected with the running equipment of the cable system, and was told that the cars would stop running until o'clock. What will I do in there if the car does Floettl asked.

Tho car will stop. Oo down." was the reply. A car came soon after, and caused the injury. The Court holds. Justice Patterson giving the opinion, that the Third Avenue Company, which was also sued, was not at fault, but a new trial is directed as to the Jonson The act of going into the trench, tbe Court holds, was not In obedience to the command of tbe foreman, but in reliance on the assurance given.

Michael Flynn sued for the loss of his seven-year-old eon Thomas, who was killed by being struck by a car of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company at Tenth Avenue and Fortieth Street. The boy. In attempting to cross quickly, twenty feet in front of an oncqmlng car. was checked by a passing truck, which barred the way. The car-driver turned his horses to the left, but the dashboard of the car struck the child and knocked him down.

On the trial the father's complaint was dismissed. The Appellate Division has affirmed the judgment. Justice Barrett, who gives the opinion, holds there was no evidence upon which the jury could have found that the driver might have applied the brake and slowed down before tbe horses' heads came so near the boy. Justice Williams dissented, holding that the question whether the driver could have slowed down was one for the Jury' The question whether the owner of uplands in the northern part of this city has such riparian right in lands under water In front of his property, between high and low water mark, as to entitle him to compensation for the appropriating and 'filling in of such lands by' the city, was passed upon in the Appellate Division yesterday by a divided court, on Henry W. Sage's appeal from judgment dismissing the complaint in his suit against the city.

The opinion of the majority of the court, affirming the judgment below dismissing plaintiff's complaint, is given by Justice Patterson, and is concurred in by Presiding Justice Van 'Brunt and Justices Williams, and O'Brien. The 'Court holds that the land under water between high and low water mark In front of plaintiff's premises having been granted to the city by the Uon-gan charter in lttSe, that title with the additional grant bynhe State in 1K2 of land under water to the exterior gave the city the right to do just what it has done, and is doing, without making compensation to the upland owner, whose property extended to high water mark only. The plaintiff's title, which was derived from the grant by Gov. Nlcholls, in lttM. to the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Harlem," stopped at high water mark.

The improvement made by filling in, or by the construction of an exterior street and bulkhead, had nearly converted the city's land under water Into terra fir ma. Jastlcn Iorrahsm, In a dissenting opinion, holds that the title of the city under the Dongui charter, being subsequent to the grant to the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Harlem," was subject to all lights that had been acquired by prior grantees from whom plaintiffs derived title. mere grant of the fee under water. Justice Ingraham holds, did not convey a riparian right to the city where the upland adjacent to such land under water had been granted to others, nor did such grant of the land below water convey to the city any riparian right as relating to such upland or to land under water not connected with -adjacent uplands. The plaintiff therefore had a riparian right which was appropriated and which the city was proceeding to deprive him of without compensation, and to the extent necessary to protect that right he was entitled to judgment in his favor.
