WON BY THE MANITOBA.
Judge Young Gives That Road tn

Judge Young Gives That Road the
Right to Use the St. Louis
Track.
The Manitoba has won its case against
the st. Louis road, but the latter will
undoubtedly appeal it to the supreme
court. The Manitoba brought the ac-
ton to determine its rights in the main
track now in use by the st. Louis road.
The suit was brought under a contract
between the st. Louis and the st. Paul
d Pacific, the predecessor of the Mani.
toba, whereby the st. Louis was allowed
to build track on the land OF the st.
Paul 81 Pacific, both roads to be
entitled to joint use of the same. Later
the st. Louis built a new track in place
OF the old one, and no frog or switch
was put in to give the Manitoba con-
nection with it; hence the suit. The
st. Louis fought the suit on the ground
that the st. Louis is the sole owner OF
the present track and that the Man
itOba, falling to put in frog or switch
or to assert its claim, thereby waving
its right to any connection. The ST.
Louis people also claimed that the Man.
itOba would attempt to crowd them out
of the Mlnnetonka business by blockad-
ing the main track of the st. Louis
should that road secure joint use of it.
Judge Young couldn't see it. He holds
that the fact of the Manitoba company
failing to assert its claim to the Joint
use of the st. Louis tracks does not
render its claim void. AS to the posi-
ton taken by the st. Louis people he
says:
''It is contended by the counsel for
defendant that the contract of 1874, by
virtue of which the st. Louis company
acquired title to the track in question,
was in terms an absolute grant of such
property. The contract in question has
been construed by this court and also
by the supreme court and unless both
is untenable. The terms of that grant
amounted practically to a perpetual
lease. The iron and ties of that TT ack
belonged to the st. Louis road, but the
land upon which the track was
constructed belongs to the st. Paul
u Pacific. The two elements of
property, the ties and track
and the land taken together consti-
tuted the railroad track and for the
purposes of the track they were insep-
arabic. There was nothing in the agree
ment that gave the st. Louis the right
to take up and remove the track after it
had been laid"
When the supreme court decided that
the Manitoba had no right to take up
the st. Louis tracks, it seemed to de-
clare that the st. Louis was the owner
of the road. Judge Young, however,
believed that the court did not so in
tend. He says the question as to the
ownership OF the road never came up at
hat time.

THE SHAW RECEPTION.

Probably the most important event of
the week was the reception and dancing
party given by Mrs. Shaw in honor of
her guest, Miss Hubbel, of Buffalo.
Tuesday, Dec. 81.
The first part of the days diversions
was the ladies' reception, and the spa
ciouS residence on Tenth street south
was thrOnged with gay company.
The hostess was aided in receiving her
numerous friends by Mrs. Waterman, of
st. Louis, Mrs. S. c. Gale, Mrs. J. r.
Elliott, Miss Cushman and the Misses
Yale. The parlors presented brilliant
appearance, the floral decorations being
very rich and were especially attractive
by the manner in which they were ar
ranged.
The house even presented a more
charming appearance in the evening, as
darkness reigned on the exterior, while
beautifully colOred lights made the
rooms dazzle with brilliancy.
Although the company was a large
one, the space devoted to the dancers
proved ample. Refreshments were
served in the third floor. which was
greatly sought after, as much cooler
temperature from that ball room could
be obtained.
Pink bunting was very handsomely
draped in various parts of the railways.

fashioned bob sleigh, the mule team
which has done such faithful service in
Hamline sleigh rides, and the sturdy,
