suits Against the Northern Pacific.
New YORK, Oct. A.-Three suits have
been brought against tho Northern Pa
oltic Company by Dunning, Edsali, Hart
Il Fowler, and by Anderson * Rowland.
The object of the suits IA to prevent the
issue of the new second mortgages bonds.
The ground taken is the original act of
incorporation prohibiting tho company
from making any mortgage or issuing
any construction bonds without consent
of Congress-. Ii gave its consent IN 1870
that the company might issue eonstruc-
ton bonds and secure them by mort
gage. Under that consent Jay Cookies
mortgage was made, which was subse-
quently foreclosed. 'fhe position taken
by plaiutitls is that the authority of
Congress- onoe exercised WAS exhausted,
aud could not be repeated. An order
to show cause with stays was granted
in two suits and arguments will be
heard November 18th. Officers of the
company say the suit is brought by r.
j. Bradley, who says the holder Of com
mon stock Is of no Importance. de
asks that the company be enloined from
issuing the bonds or making u mort
gage until Congress gives consent. Thls
consent was given long ago, and Brad
Icy has no standing. He had 100 shares
of common stock transferred to him
Saturday in order to bring SUIT.
