THE TEXAS ENABLING ACT APPROVED.

The Enabling act recently passed by the Legs-
Iature Of Texas in favor of the Missouri Kansas and
Texas Railway Company was approved by Governor
Hogg on Wednesday The act authorizes the re-
organization Of several railroad corporations In that
state into one new corporation, and will relieve the
Missouri Kansas and Texas Of some harassing hdga-
ton.
The old laws Of Texas forbade the Joint ownership
or operation of parallel competing lines, and was
construed by the Texas Supreme Court to apply TO all
railroad traversing the State. In August, 1870
a special act was passed authorizing the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas to extend Its own lines and TO pnr
chase lease unite with connecting roads, In accord
ance with these privileges, the Missouri, Kansas ana
Texas leased the International and Great Northern
and the Galveston Houston and Henderson, and greatly
extended its own lines
In later years these privileges were revoked ana
several measures hostile the railroads were passed
Much litigation followed result of which the IN.
ternatonal and Great Northern went INTO the hands OF
a receiver and the charter of the East Line ana hei
River road, branch of the Missouri kansas ana
Texas, was forfeited and State Court receiver ap-
pointed. -.os 4h ,o,,
Under the act Just passed and approved the new
corporation will take title to all the cOmpahys prop
erty including the lines In litigation.

MIR. DEPEw AND HIS PARTY IN CHICAGO.

THE PREsI DENT OF THE CENTRAL TALKS OF
RECENT EXPERIENCES AT HOME.
Chicago April 1e.-Chauncey NJ. Depew, accompanied
by Cornelius Vanderbilt, II. Nick. Twombly, E. " R.
Rossiter and President Ledyard, Of the Michigan
Central arrived in Chicago this afternoon special
train and drove at TO the Auditorium Hotel.
ave shall leave here tonight for the West" said
Mr.. Depew, going as far Denver via Omaha We
shall visit Leadville and return via Kansas City.
Merely tour of observation that is all. We shall
complete il and be back in New-York one week from
next Saturday night
Concerning his arrest in connection with the tunnel
accident on the NewYork Central road, Mr.. Depew
said The case will be useful in this way. 1t will
settle whether director of interstate road can be
convicted for dsobeyng the laws OF one State through
which the road runs. while he obeys the laws OF
another. For instance the laws OF Connecticut de-
clare that certain kind If heater shall be used !;
in New-York the says that roads OF fifty miles in
length shall not use that kind Rather hard to obey
both. 1t is the same If four OF the eight states
through which road runs should compel one KIND OF
heater to be used and the other four make IL mis-
demeanor to use it. director on such road would
have TO be in prison and out OF prison all the une
unless he were cut in pieces"
Referring to his reported tocuar remarks about the
accident Mr. Depew said; ait is a mistake 10 think
made them with reference to the victims.
Despite great feeling that is growing to
the contrary, railroad manager does not like an
accident and he is sensitive as anybody over the
sufferings of the wounded To Judge from what some
people say one would think like nothing 80 much as
an accident. How foolish We never have an acct

Ex.TREAsURER TorFEY MADE RECEIVER

HE DEMANDS CERTAIN BONDS FOR THE DECATUR
AND NASHVILLE IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.
Asbury Park, Nj, April 10 (speciaD-Chanoellor
McGill has selected Colonel John j. Tofey, formerly
State Treasurer Of Newersey as the receiver of the
Decatur and Nashville Improvement Company. This
corporation organized under the laws OF New
Jersey, for the express purpose of constructing the
Decatur, Chesapeake and New-Orleans Railway, the
road whose bonds figured conspcuously in the re-
cent suspension of the Washington National Bank and
the American Loan and Trust Company, both of New
York. John S. Silver, who owes both Of the suspended
banking corporations large sums, is heavily interested
In the railway company The railway is TO run from
shelbyvile Tenn to Decatur Ala, distance Of about
eighty miles. Nearly 100000 has been expended
upon the road, and sixty miles of it are completed.
Receiver Tofey estimates that it will cost 100000
more to finish the road. The Decatur and Nashville
Improvement Company took the stock and bonds of the
railway company In payment for building the line.
Receiver Tofey claims that the constructing company
was frozen out" of large amount Of the bonds Of
the railway company and lie is trying to secure pos
session Of them. He has given heavy bonds as re-
ceiver having qualified in both this State and New
York. Through his counsel, Messrs. Johnes &c VIII
cox, Receiver Tofey has demanded Of J. Edward Sim
mons, the president of the Fourth National Bank.
1898 900 worth of bonds which Mr. Simmons holds as
receiver OF the American Loan and Trust Company.
Receiver Tofey bases his demand for $4,000 worth,
face value, OF the railway bonds upon the alegauOn
that they were obtained from the Decatur and Nash
vile Improvement Company by Of the directors Of
the American Loan and Trust Company by squeezing
the officials Of the former company when they wanted
money in order to meet their obligations. He claims
that certain loans promised to the Improvement
Company, and that they were held back until tho
want of ready cash forced the company to give up
bonds for 100000 to certain individuals who wero
directors Of the loan company so as to secure the
necessary money at once. Things became too warm,
said one Of Receiver Tofey's lawyers, and the dl-
rectors turned the railway bonds over to the Loan
and Trust Company That concern suspended and
Mr. simmons was made its receiver and of course the
bonds were in his list Of its assets.'
Mr.. Tofey's second demand is for the return by Mr.
Simmons OF bonds OF the railway company OF the par
value OF S163 600 Receiver Toey claims that these
bonds were obtained from the Improvement company
as extra collateral security for certain loans by sim
liar squeezing" operation.
