SPRINGFIELD, H. June %. The recent G
decisions Of the Supreme Court of Illinois
declaring unconstitutional the Grab law
and sustaining the capital stock assess F
ment, are the subject of much discussion {
to-day. 1t is thought by some that it will !
necessitate the convening of the Legisla- I
ture, though this would hardly be less dis :
astrous than any consequences resulting to !
the revenue law from the decision 90 the {
Grab law.
ST. PAUL, MINI, june 20-Judge Hall, /,
of the court of Common Pleas, this morn /
ing rendered his decision in the matter of
the application of the Dutch bondhOlders
to have a receiver appointed for the St.
Paul and Pacific railroad on the ground
that the road is insolvent and the manager
untrustworthy. Judge Hall denies the
motion for receiver, and refuses to grant
the prayer OF the petitioners. lie says that,
from all that has been made to appear, the
road is DO: insolvent, but the security for
the bonds is ample and the management OF
the road is efficient and honest. To ap
point a receiver, therefore, would damage
the interests OF the petitioners themselves.
In the United States Circuit Court an ap-
plication was made betole Judge Miller, OF
the United States Supreme Court to dis |
charge Receiver Farley,who was appointed |
last fall by Judge Dillon, Of the Circuit
Court, to complete the unfinished portions |
of the St. Paul and Pacific railroad in time
to save the land grant. The ground OF the
application for the discharge was that the
receiver had accomplished nothing, but
Judge Miller refused to hear the motion
because Of the absence OF Judge Dillon.
The application will be made before the
latter Judge to discharge Farley
