A Good Idea.

One of the hsppiest hits made In all the
excellent ideas that were brought out by
the democratic Jubilee was that Of Gardner

LEGALLY BUSTED.
The c. Il NJ. X. r.. Company Dissolved
and Receiver Appointed.

Judge Evans last Saturday entered a
decree dissolving the long suffering Co.
lumbus & Maysville Railroad Company,
and appointed Capt. H. G. Dawson as
receiver, to take charge OF the company's
assets and to settle up its business. The
news will be welcome to some, as it
comes free OF charge; to others it will
not be so welcome, as it may cost them
little.
At the November term of Court, 1891 ),
the case of A. s. Galley and others
against the company was decided for the
plaintiffs; a judgment of 81 900 given
against the company, and an assessment
of 80 per cent. ordered on the stock. or
the ,22S shares the assessment was
made on only 800 and the amount of the
judgment almost realized Judge J. Fl.
Thompson had presented bill for legal
services which had not been paid, and
to avoid taking the matter into Court
again, he agreed to. a compromise, by
the terius OF which he was to begin a
suit and bear all the expenses Of spcur-
lug dissolution of the company, and to
accept as his compensation what could
be recovered from the stockholders who
had not paid their 36 per cent. assess.
ment Those who had paid signed over
to him their claims in equity against the
, non payers the matter was brought in.
to Court and the decree secured. There
are 42S shares OF stock with unpaid as
sessnlents OH theln, and in accordance
with the decree Judge Thompson is en-
titled TO collect those assessments in
payment of his bin against the company.
The petition for the dissolution was
signed by j. Ii. Thompson, w. r. Smith,
| G. S. Bell, l.. s. Smith, John Strain aud
c. M. Overman, and the decree was
granted on the ground that the company
was bankrupt and inso,yent and that it's
objects had wholly failed and been
| abandoned.

Annexation Is Like Truth-She'll Rise

Council t.eld the most spirited meet.
ing it bis had for long while on Mon.
day night and took a couple OF decisive
steps in the realm of annexation and
water works.
The air was so sitting from the gas
that the windows had to be raised and
coal oil lamps brought before the meet
ing could be proceeded with. A com.
mittee of three was appointed TO thor
oughly investigate the gas question, with
the expectation that they would officially
declare that the company is not living
up to it's contracts. II there is any way
by which the company can be brought
to terms Council is determined to find it.
MIR. Pence presented as the majority
report of the annexation committee, a
resolution directing the Solicitor to draw
up an ordinance providing for the an
nexation OF territory to the amount OF
about 400 acres, from which territory the
most of the revenue to have been de-
rived under the former scheme would
have come. The resolution was voted
down, only Messrs. Pence and Rockhold
voting tor it. Mr.. Smith presented
a minority report directing Solicitor
Smith to prepare an ordinance providing
the annexation OF exactly the same ter
ritory as the Commissioners refused last
month to receive. His resolution was
passed, Pence and Rockhold voting nay.
1t will be brought before the Commits
sioners again as soon as possible.

eb by the villages attorneys, was pre-.
tented by the Solicitor and by unani-
nous vote passed the. first reading. An.
