Syllabus-Held, That the complaint
states a cause of action.
Also that the evidence is sufficient to sus-
tain the finding of the referee as to the
number of members of the defendant as
ISOLATION. That in the action against such
association the number of certificates of
membership issued by it is prima facie ev-
idence of the number OF members, and if
any persons to whom such certificates have
been issued have ceased to be members by
reason of forfeiture, suspension or other
wise, the burden of the proof is upon de-
PENDANT to show that fact.

Smit Oyer Central Pacific Bonds.

New YORK, May 1.-THE suit of David
Stewart, banker, against Calls P. Hunting
ton and others, was brought to trial to-
day in the supreme court. When the Cen
trail Pacific railway of California was first
started it is alleged that Huntington in
duced the plaintiff to purchase 200 shares
of stock of the company on April 81, 1870.
These shares we're sold to Huntington at
their par value with interest at the rate of
per cent. from 1867. Stewart AYERS that
Huntington for himself and three other
capitalists of California, agreed, if he or
they should pay any more for other stock
than they had paid him for his, then they
would make up the difference with him.
Stewart alleges that Huntington and others
did pay even as high as $500 a share for
other stock and he claims that he is emit
tied to the difference between that price
and $139 per snare paid him for his stock.
The amount Stewart seeks to recover is
$4,000 with interest from April 81, 1870.
Huntington says ne acted alone with Stew
art on his own behalf and responsibility
that afterwards, when Stewart said some
other person had been paid a large sum
for their stock, he denied this, and said if
he did pay any more to another person he
would also pay an increased price to Stew
art. He declares that no contract or agree
ment was entered into, and he paid no per-
son more than $139 per share.

Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

CHICAGO, May lit is stated that mat
5ars of grave Importance are brewing in
the management of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway. About six weeks
ago S. S. Merrill, general manager of the
line, with the members of his family and
several friends, among them certain we'll
posted eastern capitalists, started from
Milwaukee in a special car for San Fran
cisco. They travelled through the west
over the Union Pacific, Central Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Mexico Central, Denver
& Rio Grande, Atchison, Topeka 81 Santa
Fe, Atlantic & Pacific and other roads, and
only returned last week. 1t is now report
ed that the purpose of Mr.. Merrilrs visit
to the west, and particularly to California,
was the building or rather extension of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul to San
Francisco, an active com petitive with the
Union Pacific, Burlington, Santa Fe, South
ern Pacific and Northern Pacific California
routes. 1t is known that this
road is now engaged in extending
their line to Deadwood, D. T., and the
track is laid to Chamberlain, D. T. 1t
would take little more to build it on to the
Pacific coast. 1t is stated that Mr.. Mer-
rill, while west, examined the country to
see where the best paying route from
Deadwood could be located, and that he
| canvassed the chances for such an extern
sion among the western railway men. He
is said to have consulted, while in San
Francisco, with prominent Pacific coast
capitalists as to the prospect of their tax
ing bonds of the new line. There are said
to be several big eastern capitalists at
present holders of St. Paul stocks and
bonds in the scheme. The matter will
excite much comment and discussion on
all sides. Mr.. Merrill has never had
week away from his duties before since his
connection with the st. Paul road, and
hence the Importance attached to the
| matter.

1t seems incredible that in such eoun-
try as England public inspection of build.
ings should be so neglected as to permit
the maintenance of a hall capable of hold
ing one thousand children, with the exit
door opening but twenty inches wide. But
that was the condition on Saturday of a
hall in Sunderland, and panic occurring
in an audience of children, a jam at the
exit followed, and one hundred and
seventy eight little ones were killed
crushed and trampled to death. By this
time all cities should be awake TO the
necessity Of requiring ample exits for the
aters and public halls, but as matter OF
fact very few insist upon such regulations.
There are probably more detective public
assembly halls than there are those prop.
erly provided with exits and life saving
apparatus in this country. It is no exag.
geration to cay that seven out of ten OF
the public buildings where large numbers
of people assemble, have exits too narrow,
too few in number, and that at least in a
majority of cases the doors swing inward
In this city new hall has Just been com
plesed where the exit is well known to b.
insufficient, being by a step stairway ne
wider than most people provide for dwell
ings for descent from q second story
/ When half an audience shall be crushed t.
death on that stairway some night, tn,
cause will probably be inquired into ant
the exit enlarged. But it is timely to in
quire in advance Who will be chargeabl
with the deaths?

COLORADO THE CANAL STATE.-W. E.
Pabor, author of Colorado as an Agri-
cultural State" etc, tells in the June
american AgricULturist how quickly canals
are constructed in Colorado. Two years
ago a certain beautiful fertile valley, with
its half million acres, was in the posses.
sion OF a few hundred Indians, whose
tepees dotted the willow lands along the
! river bank. One year ago white men en-
tered the pleasant valley. and on every
quarter-section of Government land for a
distance of thirty miles in length and a
width varying from three to five miles back
of the river, cabin and few rods of rude
fencing gave promise OF home for hun
dreds of families. But without an irrigat-
ing canal these lands were valueless, not
worth even the 81 % per acre asked by the
General Government. To construct canal
required capital, and capital is eminently
conservative in new country. Four
months ago j. was not certain that ore
would be built equal to the needs of the
valley. Now canal 20 miles long, 80 feet
wide, costing $500, 900, and watering &c.
900 acres of land, is in successful opera
ton. 1t is the second largest irrigating
system in the country; conceived, con-
tracted for and completed within a period
of 30 days from the time the company was
chartered. Colorado owes its rapid agri-
cultural progress to irrigation. All its val.
legs ON the eastern slope are meshed with
canals. Southern and western Colorado
are rapidly becoming intersected with these
arteries of soil life, and it will not be many
years before the wheat yield of the State
will become en- important factor in its in.
dustrial wealth.

ments have been based upon misconcep-
ton Of the subject The article in ques-
ton announced principle which has for
years been adhered to by this journal, and
upon the moral soundness OF which we are
prepared to go to issue in any calm and
rational disputstion. The yituperation in
dulged in by few is nos worthy of con-
sideration. That which has 80 stirred the
souls of the contemporaries referred to is
the declaration that specific promises by a
candidate for Office to do a certain thing,
in the event OF his election, concerning
matters of which he has not at the time
adequate knowledge, should be discour-
aged i; and that when the officer under
oath comes to the discharge of his trust,
his duty is to act as his conscience war
rants, and his Judgment advises under the
facts presented for adjustment, and not
merely according to terms of the specific
pledge he was so rash as to make. If his
honest Judgment corresponds with his
pledge made prior to taking on the official
character, he IS indeed happy man but in
many cases the specific pledges Of the
campaign are not kept, simply because
they cannot be observed without infringe
ment of official integrity. In other words,
men should not be encouraged to make
Dledges on the nlstform "a lure 70 catch
votes, which should only be the result of
deliberate judgment in an official capacity
If the pledge made is in eontravention
Of revealed duty and the promptings Of
sound judgment, he is dishonest who will
sacrifice the latter and his official obliga-
ton to the rashness of the former.

DIVORCE ABUSES.

So greatly have the Courts of Pennsyl.
vauia, and especially of Philadelphia, been
scsndalizsd by the frequency of divorce
cases, and the slender character of the
grounds laid for the decree asked, that
they propose, as check upon the immi.
grafton of divorce applicants into that
State, TO raise the Court fees, for, says one
Of the Judges, the cheapness OF divorce
is one Of the most fruitful causes of the
evil in this city, Parties come here from
all over the country instead of going TO
Missouri or Indiana, because they know
that here they can obtain them at bottom
prices" This may 90 for Pennsylvania,
but it will only turn the tide in another di-
reetion, and not at all decrease the evil
Greater vigor on the part Of
the Courts would, however, be some
what remedial The Judges should
require more proofs than are usually
offered. and of better character. a re.
cent order of the Superior Courts of San
Francisco Is IN the right direction, and
should be adopted by every Superior Court
in California. The new rule requires that
when an attorney appears for defendant
not personally served with the process of
the Court, and nonresident of the city, he
shall by proof establish his authority to
make the appearance, in order that no
false appearance shaI be entered. Also
that on the taking of the testimony by the
referee or Commissioner, that officer of the
Court shall cross. examine the witnesses
thoroughly and to such an extent as to dis
close, if possible, collusion and false swear
ing. 1t is an excellent rule and should be
in force IL every county in the State.

note any sign of life. Many poor mothers
swooned away at the first sight Of thsir dead,
while others were wild, almost violent in their
hystericsl grief. The set of removing the
dead from the hall to-day was
the occasion for a renewal of the
lamentations aud confusion. MANY
parents rushed through the police Gordon
appointed for the preservation of order. and
there was a scene of great confusion. One OF
the WITNESSES of the calamity stated to-day
that for the first FIVE minutes there was great
lack Of assistance, and from this cause alone
there was certainly 100 lives lost. The
weather was warn, and the passage way very
close, so that in short time after the cstas-
trcphe horrible siekening stencil came from
the main outlet Of the hall.
The latest reports tonight figure up 1SS
dead. The gravest fear is felt that the nun.
Der will yet be shown to have reached at least
200. TIE eagerness of the children to depart
from the hall was caused by their desire to
receive the prizes promised them. Graham
throws the blame of the calamity upon the
man connected with the entertainment, who,
it appears, fastened the door half open in
order that the prizes might be given to the
children one at time while leaving the hall.
One sad incident was witnessed in the vi
cinity of the hail. A lad was sitting on a
railing near Murton street, crying. a passer-
by inquired the cause CT his grief. a. Why,
sir. said he, % was in that place there. and
when l was coming out boy that was dying
bit my hsnds, and that's him" he added,
pointing to the corpse of child lying near.

mELYILLR,s TROUBLE.

Engineer Melville has written letter in
his own defense. He claims that the head
and front of his offending is that he is a
seafaring man, and that ne will not live
with drinking woman, who in three years
spent 81, 440 of his income, and ran him in
debt s., 600. 1t may be true that Melville
has had to bear this infictiou, but it would
have been more manly to have borne it
silently. His open insult to his wife in the
presence OF her children on his return, his
denuncistion Of her now as "a a drunken
maniac of untold nastiness, is not to his
credit. That woman is his wife, the mother
of his five children, aad if she is, as he al.
leges, "a maniac, he should be the last to
publish her shame abroad. The domestic
scandal of this United States officer would
never have beeu dragged from the home
closet but for his public acts of insult to
his family. There are some things a man
should bear silently, even If it be admitted
that he is the iDjsred party.
