tanning the reports from 1858 to 1856 to which
reference has been made. 1t was during this
period that the lease of the Pittsburg and Con-
nellsville Railroad was made to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, in
fact. the extension Of the railroad
and put in operation, and operated for SIX
years, while Mr. Fetterman was in the board.
The reports called the Annual Reports" are
the reports of the president and directors.
There Is not little Of evidence in the case
that Mr.. Fetterman ever dissented from any
action of the Board of Directors during the
time of his service as director, or after ne
ceased to be a member of the board. The re-
ports made are his reports, and the reports OF
every director present., and not dissenting
when the reports were made up; and the evl-
dence shows that Mr.. Fetterman was quite
regular in his attendance at the meetings. he
also represented the stock OF his mothers estate
when he was a director, and after he retired
from the board. 1t must be that he was salts
fled. At all events thereei ID not the least eV1-
dence of dissatisfaction on his part. Mr.. Fet-
terman died some years ago, and the executor
of his will as oneUf the plaintiffs in this case,
and the same person, as administrator de bonls
non c. t. a. of Mrs. Sarah B. Fetterman's estate,
has charged in his bill that what was done by
the President and directors during the period
of Mr.. Fetterman's membership of the direc-
tory of the company, was not honestly done
that the reports were made under the ''infiu-
encen of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany-were inspired" by the officers and agents
of that company, etc.
These charges are not supported by any evil
dence in the case, and 1t Is unnecessary to say
more.
The conclusion is that on the law and the
facts of the whole case the master recon-
mends that the plaintiffs bill be dismissed
at their costs,

j. Heron Foster Protests Against the Sale
of a Binding Pending n Suit-Is IL Worth
More Than $14O,O0Os

j. Heron Foster Protests Against the Sale
ofn Binding Pending suit-Is 1t Worth
More Than $14O,OOOs
j. Heron Foster yesterday filed exceptions
in the Orphans Court to the confirmation
of the sale of the building heretofore occu-
pied by THE DISPATCH on Fifth avenue
and the SherifFs deed issued for the same.
The building had been sold at SherifPs
sale by permission of the Orphans Court to
pay off legacies under the will of the late
j. Heron Foster. The legacies were due
after the death of Mrs. Julia Foster, who
had life interest in the estate. Mrs. Fos-
ter, in her will left estate to her daughters,
Julia Foster and Rachel G. Foster, now
Avery, whom she appointed her execu-
trices. They obtained permission for the
sale, and when it was held bought in the
property for S140, 900.
Meanwhile J. h. Foster, the son of Mrs.
Foster, who received nothing by her will,
commenced contest in Philadelphia, where
the will had been probated. The contest is
still pending.
In the exceptions fled in this court by J.
H. Foster he states that Julia F.and Rachel
G. Foster, sas executives under the con-
tested Will, nave IN their possession all OF
the property, real and personal, belonging
to the estate, their right to which is still
undetermined. They ought not, he holds,
be permitted to sell, or offer for sale, the
building or any other property belonging to
the estate of Julia Foster for the payment
to themselves of the legacies under the will
of the late j. Heron Foster, nor should
they be the purchasers except as trustees for
the heirs. The transaction, he claimed, was
opposed to the letter and spirit of their
mothers will.
Further, he said, the property sold was
worth far more than $40, 900. which they
paid for it. He asks that the sale and the
Sheriff's deed be set aside.
