telephoned Mr.. Garrison at his Office down
town, telling him what had occurred.
Messrs. Ferguson and e. A. Hitchcock.two
old friends of the family at once jumped
into carriage and went out to the house
stopping on the way at police headquarters
and taking two detectives. On the arrival
near the house the detectives
alighted and went to the rear to
watch that part of the premises,
while Messrs. Ferguson g. Hitchcock
entered in front. The man had returned
and renewed his proposition to Mr.. Fer
guison, who took him into his carriage and
drove him to 719 Washington avenue where
the man said Miss Garrison was secreted.
Arriving at this place it was discovered that
the young lady had been sent to the police
sub-station a couple of blocks away, where
she was found by Mr.. Ferguson and taken
to her uncle's house. The detectives had
followed Mr.. Ferguson's carriage
and as soon as the man who
had proposed to restore Miss Garrison 10
her friends, saw them, he recognized them,
and before Mr.. Ferguson could give any
directions he disappeared, and has not yet
been arrested. Tie deteeti YES did not knew
the man but from all the circumstances i'll
the case there is no doubt he is the crimi-
nal, and that the abduction of
Miss Garrison was deliberately conceded
scheme to obtain money from her relatives
in the way of ransom. No harm was done
to the young lady and no violence of any
kind offered or threatened the object of the
men being evidently to lead her gradually
along and use her in opening negotiations
with her relatives. The woman at whose
bOucn Miss Garrison ,voe Kant rJidOvu
named Fanny Levy, and so far as asaer-
tanned at this writing, is not known to the
police as belonging to the criminal class.
Great relief is felt at the restoration of
the lady and the excitement is abating.
Il Le0aliLeGacy from, the Teros Pacific.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 12-In 1856 a
project was formed for building South
ern railroad to run across Texas to the
Pacific coast. The first link in the trans
Continental line was from Shreveport, La,
to Marshall, Texas. By the time this was
finished the enterprise broke down pecun-
iarily, and the road was several times sold
out by sheriff. After the war, in the
year 1866, the enterprise was renewed, and
a loan of $150,000 was made to the road
by Louisville syndicate. The enterprise
failed in 1868, and the road was
sold, and was bought in by the
Louisville syndicate in order to
secure their debt, they assuming to pay
another prior mortgage and debts to the
amount of 100000. They took charge of
the road and put about 100000 more into
it, obtained the passage of a number of

in aid of the railway and at last succeeded.
in 1877, in selling the property to the Tex
as Pacific Railway company for 100000
in land grant bonds. Gould and Wander
bilt afterwards put about $25,OOO,OOO more
into the road, and it is now completed and
forms great trunk line from ocean to
ocean. The stockholders in the old COM
pany who sold out in 1868, waited till 1873
and then brought suit in the Louisville
chancery court against the Louisville syn
the profits the syndicate had
made upon it. The case has been fought
vigorously by both sides. 1t was argued
and submitted in last November. To-day
Chancellor Edwards returned verdict in
favor of defendants. The chancellor
holds there was no fraud on the part of
ueleHuduIS III purchasing Ine r0au IN 1906
that they were compelled to purchase to
save their debts He also holds that the
suit is defective, because the trustees of
the old corporation, who properly repre-
sent it,are not parties to the suit also that
the delay of the old stockholders from
1868 to 1873 before suing was such neg
legence as to prevent them from after
wards asking aid of the chancellor to re-
ceive back from the defendants the road
which the latter had made valuable during
their delay by the free use of money,
time and energy.
