ROSTON POST, TUESDAY MORNINO, JUNE 14, MR. TYRER RESIGNED HIS ASSOCIATES ASTONISHED AT RECENT REVELATIONS of tho Amorlcan Telephone C'om- pnny to Baird GettiuK Successor. ashington Jnue the board of directors of the American Telephone Company met this morning, Mr. Tyrer, who was present, at once handed in his resignation, and it was promptly accepted. A committee w'as also appointed to hold what may be called a post mortem examination into the affairs of the concern, with the view to ascertain whether or not it has any legs npon which to stand.

The directors all expressed great snrj)rise at the revelations which have been m.ide of the character of the general manager and organizer, Theodore W. Tyrer. Of course they all expressed great astonishment, and each vowed that he had no idea of the true state of the case. Major Rutter- worth, the president, said: was sitting in Fort Putnam, at West Point, yesterday, chatting with some friends, and to pick up a paper, when 1 saw this matter in regard to the past life of Mr. Tyrer.

If a lightning bolt had shot out from a clear sky I not have been more astounded. 1 never dreamed that there was any flaw in Mr. life and there was nothing to excite my suspicions, had met him with other gentlemen, several of whom had been in business with him in this city. 1 knew the other men and supposed that they avere all gotid men. It did not occur to me under the circnm.stancos to turn around and say, Now, Mr.

Tyrer, I know' about your past life; will you he kind enough to inform me whether you have been in the penitentiary or not? Now, that is the only fault that I have committed, but it seems perfectly natural that such a question should not have occurred to mo. However, we will examine the affairs of the company, and see just exactly how we stand. There is one thing certain, and that is we shsill allow no one to lose money. Of course, I am not familiar with the affairs of the company except in this country, I have relied on Mr. Tyrer for infonnation as to what is being done in Venezuela.

Of course, as stated in the prospectus, the official extension of our commission to thirty-five years has not yet been made, but we have reason to believe that it is settled, and we will secure this additional In spite of this, horvever, it is the general opinion that the is of comparatively no value, and it is thought strange that who are interested in the American Telephone should have been caught in such a fix. This is still inexplicable when it is known that the concern pro- 5 oses to use the and yrer was deposed from the presidency of that company because of his record. Profeasor Baird is so far improved that he took a ride Saiurrtay and visited the Smithsonian Institution, although he did not get out of his carriage. He torrk a long drive yesterday, It is expected that he will le.ave for IIoll about 1 to superintend the work of the fish eommis.sion at that place. Senator Manderson, chairman of the committee on printing, says the successor to the late clerk of the committee, Ben: Perley Poore, is to be ISIr.

Slichael of Nebraska. The committee will meet tomorrow to confirm the appointment. The President held a public reception in the Ea.st Room this afternoon for the first time since his return from the mountains. It did not last very long, as only seventy persona were present. The small attendance was due to the fact that it w.os not generally known that a reception w'ould be given.

The bond of Postmaster Corse has been formally approved, and his commission was sent to him oa batiirday. Curry and Ellison of Boston were today awarded the contract for supplying fui'niture for the at Keginald Foster of Boston, Dennis A. Mealier of Portland and Reuben H. Hatch ot Farmington, have been admitted to practice before the Interior Department. AT EAR HARBOR.

A Brilliant Season ho Aro to Be Jteal Estate Boom. ar arbor June pecial The busiest town at present in the State of Maine is Bar Harbor. Hundreds of men are employed here constructing the new sewer, electric lights, and putting on the finishing strokes to each newly erected cottage. More th.nn forty-five cottages have been built here since the cIo.se of last season, mostly by Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati parties. The greatest interest is displayed here in the real estate boom.

Land is estimated at exorbitant prices, and would-be speculators are coming in each daj'. Real estate on Mt, Desert is estimated all the way from SlOOO to SI 00,000 per acre. Several lots have been sold the past year at the high rate of 000. Land located on Main street is selling for S3 per square foot. Nearly all the lands situated in close proximity to Mt.

Desert, Island have become subject to the caprices of speculators. the noted guests expected at Bar Harbor the present season are: Mayor Ilewitt and ex-Mayor of New York Secretary Whitney, Admiral Howell, Washington; A. II, llelvar of the British legation, and Sir Lionel Wost, the British minister. It is quite a well settled fact that President Clevelaud intends visiting Northeast Harbor some time dicing the summer. Mr.

Corning of Albany, N. in conversation with a gentleman'a short time ago, said: have extended Mr. Cleveland an invitation to visit me at my new residence Northeast Harbor in August, and he has kindly The cottage of Er.istus Corning is the finest on the island. It is situated at the extreme end of the harbor on a peninsula shai)ed liead facing the broad ocean. The design for decorating the lower rooms of the house cost Mr.

Corning S3000, while the entire cost of the house is set at The chamber that Mr, Cleveland w'ill occvpy is located in the southeast comer the dwelling and commands an admirable ocean view. It is plainly funii.shed, with no ornament save an anfiquo fire-place in the comer of the room. The walls are roughly idastered and painted. The coming yacht regatta will be the chief attraction for the Every effort is being put forth by the managers to make this event successful in every way. All the rooms in the principal hotels are engaged, and the prosjiects of a successful sea.son were never more auspicious.

The St. Sauveur, Rodick, Marlborough, West End and (Irand Central open the 22d of this month. Mr. Bl.aine has rented his cottage here to Ileber Bishop of Now Tork, who will occupy it this coming summer. Mr.

Blaine will try an altogether different policy for than his former one. Instead of repeating Jiis scheme of he will canvass for the Irish vote by way of Ireland and keep him.self prominent by his travels abroad. JOHN D. LONG ELECTED. lymouth Juno 13.

a meeting of the Pilgrim Society hold in I'ilgrim Hall today the Hon. John Long of Hiugham was chosen resident in place of J. Henry Stickney of ialtinmre, resigned. Mr. Stickney was elected a vice-president and William Hodge of Plymouth was added to the board of trustees.

ANDOVER SEMINARY. Meeting of the Concerning the Board of Keport. A ndover June pecial tnis- tees of the Phillips Academy and the Theo- logic.aI Seminary met at the Mansion House today and read the constitution according to the requirements of tlie statutes at the annual meeting. Ex-Governor Fairbanks of St. the Hon.

K. R. Bishop, the Hon, Joseph Ropes, Dr. Fiske, Dr. Dr.

Wilcox and others were present. The trustees are in entire ignorance as to what report the visitors may make on the charges of heresy against five of the professors, and the professors themselves have not received an intimation from the visitors that the decision will he given this week. Yet the gen- er.ol expectation is that it will be known by Friday of ibis week. It is a curious fact that the reports in the air have come from the side of the prosecutors as to the nature of the finding and the time of its promulgation. It is felt that the reports have been too various, and too many of them have already failed to attach iniiHirtance to tliom.

Still further, it is felt that while the visitors probably do not agree sufficiently to give a sharply defined decision they may agree to m.ako a report of a general wliich will leave the question open and thus leave responsibility with the trustees. Such a course will be hard on the visitors, but it may be all they can do unless they present two reports. Professor baccalaureate discourse is highly commended by those who heard it and those who have read the report of it in the papers. On the other h.aiid. Dr.

sermon to the young ladies of Abbot Academy is severely criticised as being inaproi)os and of being crude in some of its language and spiteful in its insinuations. Here are some oi the sentences as reported sometimes act as if they could indulge in unchristian thoughts and feelings and keep them a secret. This is not so. Can a fool keej) his folly a secret? Can a man have dogmas and keep them to himself? Just as well have smalliiox kept to I'ho feeling is that this insinuation is aimed at the pi'ofessors as holding secret doctrines which they dare not teach, but, like the smallpox, the secret will out. The opinion is freely expressed that the professors are not harmeil, while the preacher could not afford to indulge in so vulgar a deliverance.

President Bncknm of Burlington, is present as one of the examining committee, and large numbers are expected tomorrow and on Wednesday. Certain it is that Andover of today is attracting attention as an institution of broad and progressive ideas. Today the pleasant feature in? connection with Abbot female seminarv the lawn party, from 4 to 7 examinations will be held in the forenoon in the female and in the theological seminary in the afternoon. Dr. A.

P. Peabody will deliver the address to the graduating class of young ladies. AN INDIAN GRADUATE. The Loaded of the Apaches Now on the War TrCflON, June hostiles are snpposed to be in the east end of the Santa Catalina Mountains, as their signal smoke has been distinctly seen. Troops of cavalry are operating in that locality.

More than 100 fighting bucks are out, all well armed, of the San Carlo and Pinal Apache tribes. Nearly all are old scouts. Eskiminzines, chief of the Avaravpi Apaches, said Thursday that there would be a big Indian war, as 400 warriors would soon he in the field, all with good guns and plenty of ammunition. Nearly all of Es- young bucks have joined. It is said that the leader of the Apaches i.s a gr.adn- ate of Hampden Indian school, who came back two years ago.

People here are in a great state of alarm, as they know the fighting qualities of the Indians who are on the war path. All of the mountains have been fired. The Indians say this w.as done to stop troops from using the heliograjih signal flash. PARTS THAT SHERIDAN PLAYED. The death of the actor, E.

Rheridiiii, was a painful surprise to the profession generally, although to familiars it fehouUt not have been, because as far back a.s 1882, in 8an Francisco, it was his misfortune to have to disapjioint his audiences. It is hut natural, says the New York Times, that he should have been rated as a distinctively before he became a star, ami perhaps he came to be so consitlereil because, after having endeil his connection with Manager John A. Ellsler'i companies in the West he undertook some at Opera House, Cincinnati, during the season of 18(50-1. Yet, in truth, he was not a except in the sense that his versatility was so circumscribed that he could essay many diifering without ever descending below commonplace in any. As comedian, he travelled with John T.

Raymond; he did high comedy in support of Julia Dean; he was the unfortunate Mrs. Annand, during her American tour; he was at various times leadint: man for shirs so diverseiit as Lucille Charlotte Thompson and Adele Hel- garde a heavy man, he went to England with the Rankins and their liaving taken tlie place of Louis Aldrich the Pumm, after that had been with a view to repressing As a star, he was, jierhaps, liappiest in and but he will be held in remembrance longest for the he played longest and best, and which he showed others how to play nos.sibly a.s well as himself. He was not the tirst to Imiiersonate it. but it tlvst attained to mark in his hand.s. It wa.s Fhretti, the dialect Italian in Hoarding which Sheridan first undertook with and (Tane at the Park 'J'heatre, Now York, early in the Centennial year.

Playgoers with long memories can uLso recall him in of iit Theatre, where he look the place of Edwin Adams during the early years of that playhou.se. In fancy they can picture him there many years later as the Kent, when was given probably the grande.st stage setting it has ever luid. Going back many years, they can reinvest with the costume and delightful lines of dfieji when Brougham jilayed Cuttle at the Olymidc; back farther still, and they can see him the original in America of Hedmish at Garden; tiiey can enjoy once more that notable forniance in which for "sweet he played the gentle CussioAt the Academy of on the night hen, in memory of G.

A lesser circle, headed by May Saville, long ago retired from the stage, can bring b.ack to mind when it was that availability had its crowning test in his a.ssumption of a that Stuart Kobaon created in America and later selected for his London (Eng.) A distinctively could never have ventured into the elleminacy of voice and action had imparted to Hector Placide in and it Is but a little more lhau thirteen years since Sherid.an played that part. His more prominent stock engagemetits as leading man, aside from the two at Cincinnati, in 1880-01 and 1804-05, and his three seasons at NTew were at the Chestnut Street, at the Globe and the Museum, Boston, and at the Olympic, St Louis. His starring career began in Halifax in to be soon abandoned and ultimately resumed, ills first Australian tour was begun in 1882. FROM harps to flats Atlanta Constitution A Considerable comment has been made the rc- tnarkahlo change which has recently in Mr. Eugene special column in the Chicago News.

Its usual sparkling variety has given place to wooden statements of insignificant facts. A jirivate lett-r from Mr. Field explains the change. Ho says that when he first took his on tlie News the ediior-in-chlef, Mr. Melville E.

Htoiie, Insisted upon furnishing tlie name, and for hl.s eolumn. Mr. Field did not like the title, and has alw.ays protcsteil against it, hut without avail. two we quote from his letter, furnished nothing for my aepartinentbut and, as Mr. Stone would not consent to confer upon my column a different caption, I have concluded to live up to the title, and am now running the BELL TELEPHONE SUIT Dlstiiigiilshecl Lawyers on Both Judge Storrow Opens for the Company and G.

r. Lowrey for the Government. Yesterday morning the case against the Bell Telephone Company came up for argument in the United States Circuit Court in this city before Judges Colt and Nelson. The government was represented hy ex-United States Senator Allan G. Thurman, ex-United States Solicitor-General Goode, Gro.svenor P.

Lowrey of New York, William C. Strawhridge of Philadelphia, Jeff Chandler of Washington, Charles E. Whitman and District Attorney Stearns, and the Bell company by Chauncey Smith, J. J. Storrow, George L.

Roberts and E. M. I)ickerson. The government charges Alexander Graham Bell with obtaining illegally the issne of certain letters one dated March 7, 1870, and the other Jan. 30, 1877.

The company files a demurrer to the.so charges, claiming that the is multifarious and not properly specific; that there is no law or authority for bringing the complaint; that no case has been made out: that it i.s not a matter which belongs in a court of equity; that it is a State claim, and that the bill of complaint does not set forth any fraud in the proouring of the Judge Storrow' occupied the time from 11 until recess setting forth these claims and defending the Bell patents. He maintained that the government had no right to bring the suit, and he doubted if the court had antliority to try it. He said the validity of the patents had been repeatedly snstained by the United States cotirts. At the afternoon session Judge Storrow rosumed his closing at 4:15 He minntely explained the patent of this country and England, and cited scores of decisions, any one of xvhich he thought showed conclusively that the Bell company could not have its patents revoked. 1 )nnng the past fifty years, said the speaker, patents have been issued, and hut five complaints have been brought by the government.

in four of these the court decided that there was no authority for such proceedings, while in the fifth ca.se, a prinia facie case of fraud, the court allowed that the bill might be In his opinion, t'ongress was the only representative of the government having power to deal with the Bell patents. Judge Storrow closed his argument Mr. Lowrey opened for the government. He quoted from a decision rendered by Jndge Storrow prior to his connection with the Bell company, ei.aetly opposite from his opinion as now expressed. He took up the hill, point by point, and the right to bring this suit was as plain as day.

It was not until 1870, said he, that the government came into posse.SHlon of its know'ledge of the fraud and aeeeption used in procuring the patents. Both patents must stand or fall together; they cannot be separated. At 5 the court adjourned until 10 this morning.
