Foy & Sons of Clinton, la., in regard to

shall be very thankful for this informa¬

The record of Frank Foy & Sons, Clin¬ 
ton, la., is not an enviable one. We have 
found it impossible to get attention to 
complaints of unfilled or unsatisfactorily 
filled orders. There is no reason for send¬ 
ing orders Cor poultry to such a distance, 
anyhow. 
All letters to Publisher’s Desk depart¬ 
ment must be signed with writer's full 
name and address given. Many inquiries 
are answered by mail instead of printing 
inquiry and answer, hence unsigned let¬ 
ters receive no consideration. 
Can you toll me something about the 
Aerial Rotary Engine Company. 1. W. 
Logan? TbP.V have an elaborate exhibi¬ 
tion and demonstration going on at 
Broadway and 29th Street. New York. 
On passing there I stopped in, and they 
offered me stock ut $10 u share. I am a 
poor man, and cannot afford to waste 
anything. o. u. 
New York. 
Another rotary engine project was pro¬ 
moted in this same way a few years ago, 
with the result that those who put money 
into the stock lost it. The experience of 
the past is the best guide to the future. 
Your letter enclosing draft for $90.75 
against the American Railway Express 
Company, and in favor of myself, is at 
hand, for which 1 thank you. I collected 
several claims from the express company, 
prior to this one. lmt this was refused me. 
Believing it was a just claim, hut having 
very little hope of ever receiving anything 
out of it. I appealed to you, with the 
above result. I shall he glad to lie of 
service to Tur, R. N.-Y. at any time. 
Among several, it is the most valuable

The shipment of onions was delayed in 
delivery. It was six days in transit over 
a distance ordinarily covered in 15 hours. 
The express company acknowledged the 
delay and loss, but insisted it. was due to 
congestion which was the result of a 
strike. They declined the claim and re¬ 
ferred to their express receipt, which 
limits their responsibility when strike 
conditions prevail. We refused to accept 
the declination, aud insisted on an ad¬ 
justment on the merits of the claim. Set¬ 
tlement was finally made on a 50 per cent 
basis, inasmuch ns the claim had been 
running for 19 months, and as the only 
alternative was a suit, which would be 
expensive aud prolonged, we accepted the 
adjustment under the circumstances.

We hardly need to investigate the 
standing of a concern which peddles its 
stock in country districts in this way. 
The logic in such cases is lhat if the pro¬ 
ject had good assets, or even good pros¬ 
pects. its capital could bo secured by loss

After a year’s work on this claim the 
Erie Railroad Company sent a cheek for 
$25. Evidently they do not consider their 
own appraiser reliable, as he considered 
the two lambs worth $20.60. The differ¬ 
ence is not very great, but it reflects on 
the attitude of the railroad in adjusting 
claims of this kind. When tlieir tracer 
states the value, it should he considered 
definite, and a shipper should not be asked 
to accept anything else. When a claim
