AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Suits Against Railroads Operating
Leased Lines In other states.

WASHINGTON, October 31-A question of
much importance to all railroad corpora
tions, which are chartered in one State and
do business on leased lines In other States,
was decided In the United States Supreme
Court to-day. The question arose in the
three cases of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company against Koony q Funk
houser, which were brought here by
appeal from the Supreme Court of Appeals
OF Virginia. The defendants in error sued
the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad Company
in Virginia State Court for damages on
account OF the killing of three persons
several years ago in an accident on the
Virginia Midland Railroad, which was at
that time one of the leased lines OF the
Baltimore d Ohio RaiIrosd The latter COM
pany fled a petition for the removal
of the cases to the Federal Courts for the
reason that the Baltimore and Ohio Com
panY was corporation of MARYLAND while
the complainants were all citizens of Vir-
ginia. The petition was denied by the
State court on the ground that the Balu
more and Ohio Company by leasing the
Virginia Midland Road became a corpora
tion OF the State of Virginia, and, as such,
was properly liable to suits in the courts Of
that State.
This decision had been affirmed by the
Ohio Comp any brought the case here on a
writ of error. 10 an elaborate opinion by
Chief Justice Waite this court holds that a
railroad corporation which operates
leased lines and trsnsacts business In
another State than the one
where it is chartered does not by reason Of
that fact become corporation Of that other
State. Ga the contrary, 1t carries with it,
wherever it goes, all its chartered rights and
NAV claim sll of its chartered Drivilepes
as a corporation of its own State
by doing business away from
its legal residence, which is at its
principal place of business in the State
which chartered 1t. 1t does not change its
citizenship but simply extends the fields
of its operations. In other words Mary
land company does not become a
Virginia company simply because it leases
Virginia companY's property. 1t retains its
citizenship and all privileges which that
citizenship confers, and It cannot be forced
to trial in the Virginia State courts.
The judgment Of the Virginia Supreme
Court Of Appeals is therefore reversed.

A SIGHT TO BE SEEN.
A BOOM FOR THE EXPOSITION.
The New England Factory Kings on
the DisplaY-The Finest since the
Centennial and In Some Respects
Hts SuPertOr-NO Reason TO Stay
Away and Many TO A ttend.

ATLANTA, GA, October 31.-Tbe follow
ing will be published In the Consultation, by
authority, in the morning:
''Mr. Edward Atkinson and the commit
tee OF the New England Cotton Manufac-
turars Association, with their friends, have
made their first visit to the Exposition. All
are sstonished at the magnitude of the
undertaking, and at the great variety Of
exhibits In respect to cotton. From the
field TO the finest fabric nothing is wanted.
Matters OF great interest are found in the
treatment of the cotton in seed and in
ginning and preparing it. There are vari-
GUS processes Of improvement of which as
yet but little is known, but which are Of
the utmost importance to future manufac-
turers."
"The collection of ores, timber and other
natural products is unequalled. In fact it
is the Judgment OF the committee that no
one who can possibly spare the time
should fail to visit Atlanta and the Expo
sitfon. The committee are agreed that
there has been nothing equal to this exhi-
bitton since the Center nial, and that In re-
spect to cotton and all its products this
exeels as much as that fell short.
Accommodations are ample, good and
cheap. The one thing now needed is the
hearty cooperation Of the railroad corpora
tions to assure cheap fares and a large at
tendance. Nothing ever before happened
in the history of the country to prove so
adequately the identity OF interests of the
cotton grower and cotton manufacturer as
this exhibition"
