The anticipated suit to prevent the con-
summation OF the proposed $40. 200, 900 sale
OF the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company of Chicago to an Eoglish syndi-
cate has been commenced before Judge

made in the bili, and the court is asked to
remove the present officers of the big cor
poration, appoint a receiver and issue an
injunction restraining the proposed issue
of bonds and the sale of the plant and
stock.
The complainant in the bill Is Frank r.

dent, John b. Sherman, general

BALTIMORE. juno lG.
The committee appointed by the last
Legislature to investigate the Archer defal-
cation has completed its report. The total
defalcation Is sl32, ,40l .25. As 20 Archer's
bond the report says: Mr. Archer was
elected treasurer for the first time in Janu-
ary, 1886. He qualified early in February
of that year and gave bond IN the pre-
scribed penalty of 100000, with sursties
approved by Governor. Lloyd. He was
elected to \ second term in January, 1885,
and in regular course as prescribed by the
constitution, should have qualified aud
bonded within one month thereafter. In
point Of fact he did not take the oath Of
e,i4Are and fiie hrs bond until Nov. fsy 1885,
nearly twenty-five months after his cleo
tion. How this most unfortunate action
may affect the legal liability Of the sureties
on the bond or whether ii will affect II at
