DECISION IN THE DENVER, RIO dRASDE AMI
| CANON CRY CASE.
A decision was rendered In the United
States Supreme Court this morning in the
case Of the Denver, Rio Grande Railroad
Company vs.. Canon City and the San Ju.
an Railroad Company, upon petition for
a writ OF mandamus. The writ was asked
for by the Denver and Rio Grande Com.
pany upon the ground that the Uni.
ted States Circuit Court for the district OF
Colorado had disregarded the mandate OF
this Court, in It's decision of the
points at issue, at its last term
This court, however, denies the petition
for mandamus upon the ground that as to
substantiate the matters complained OF by
the Denver Company the Circuit Cout was
at liberty TO exercise its judicial discretion
and that in such cases the remedy for
errors committed was by appeal and not
by mandamus.
This court, however, declines 10 express
any opinion as to whether the DEGREES OF
July 1870 and January 1880, contain
errors to prejudice OF either party, but as
therights Of the Denver Companywill cease
under the provisions oi act OF Congress
in 1852, as: to portions OF Its roads
then unfinished, this court considers
Its duty to afford parties early and final
determination Of their case upon the
merits. 1t therefore announces that upon
the perfection OF the appeal and filing the
transcript, 1t will hear q motion To ad.
vance the cause for consideration at the
present term.
Justices, Field, Bradley and Swayne,
dissented TO the opinion Of tho court, but
as the cause Will soon come up for final
hearing, they reirained from expressing
any opinion as TO the details OF litigation.
FIXED UT THEIR DIFFERENCES.
New YoRE, February 9.-The United
States Supreme Court decision in the Den.
yer and Rio Grande railroad petition for a
mandamus is said by well-iniormed parties
to be Of no particular Importance now,
since the Rio Grande and Atchison COM
panles arranged all theis differences on
Saturday and stipulated the decision
should not affect the settlement one way
or tho other, The arrangement is under
stood to be substantially as follows:
All litigation is to cease; the Rio Grande
taking back its constructed road; re-ex-
changing stocks with the Pueblo and
Arkansas Valley railroad stopping
its Pueblo and St. Louis railroad,
also It's New Mexican extension about so
miles north Of Santa Fe, and taking i'm.
mediate possession Of the line to Lead
Vile, paying therefor the original cost less
expenses OF litigation and bonus OF $780,
OO6. The Leadville and other Southern
traffic over the D. & R. q. to Eastern
points is TO go half over the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe line and half over the
Union Pacific, and one.iOurth OF the
traffic between Denver and Eastern points
is TO 90 via the Pueblo and Atchison line.
The A. T. & S. +. Co. agree not 10
build 10 Leadville or Denver or to any
point on or.west OF the main line Of the
D. & r. G. from Denyerto Elmore, but TO
stop at Pueblo, the contract to last ten
years. The AtChison Company reserve
the right TO build line OF about thirty
three miles 10 their coal mines, to be used
for coal trains only for their railroad use
and ior sale Of coal down the Arkansas
Valley. The lease is 10 be returned and
the receivership Of the D. & R. G. to end
at once. A decree Of Court is to be entered
forthwith TO protect the contract under
which the Atchison company will have
the right TO run their own trains over the
D. & R. G. to Leadville, in case the new
Mexican line or st. Louis line OF the Rio
Grande should be built or they cut of
from their share Of the Lendville, South
ern or Denver traffic with the eastern
points. The contract establishes peace
after severe contest Of two years, and is
generally considered beneficial to all con-
Cerned,
