J. Ryan, Secretary sf State. The case was
up on demurrer, and the petition was
Knocked out, the law attacked being held
to be constitutional. This action was
brought to restrain the Secretary of State
from paying into the State treasury S4 900
incorporation fee paid by the plaintiff under
protest. In the action the constitutionality
of the act under which the fee was charged
is called into question.
The law referred to provides that the
Secretary of State shall charge a fee of $40
tor incorporating a company having capi-
tai stock not exceeding $4,000. For in
cooperating or consolidating two or more
corporations this law provides that fee of
one-tenth of per cent of the capital stock
shall be charged. In the case of the con-
solidation Of several railways under the
name of the Pittsbnrg. Akron and Western
Railroad Company, the capital stock was
"a, 100000, making the fee S4, 900.

INGERs0LL MAKES A SPEC.
He Bids in an Ohio Railroad Cheap, and
Clears Over 100000

Clears Over 100000.
TOLEDO, O., Jan. 81 Special. 1-Colonel
Robert Ingersoll bid 50, 900 for the Cen
trail division of the Cincinnati, Jackson and
Mackinaw Railway, at masters sale, this
afternoon, and got it. A short time ago he
bid it in at s., 525, 900, putting up $40, 900 as
guarantee. Three weeks ago he bought the
Northern division for a nominal sum, the
property being worthless without the rest
of the road. He Immediately went back on
the former purchase, forfeiting the guaran-
tee. Cal Brice forced him to bid high at the
first sale, so that by throwing up the sale
and buying it again fortune might be
made. The scheme worked successfully this
afternoon, Ingersol1 clearing S235, 900.
Two of Ingersoll's principal hackers are
NJ. r. Woodford, President of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton, and Wallston
HI. Brown, the receiver. Last summer Sec
retary Charles Foster, heavy stockholder,
sued for S99 900 and asked to have Brown
removed, alleging conspiracy to turn the
road over to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
DAYTON at low figure. Things were ex-
planned so that he withdrew the suit. How
ever, the road is sold to-day. just as he
feared it would be, and the independent
stockholders are very heavy losers. Colonel
Ingersoll, when asked if the road would be
turned over to the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and DAYTON, said eve don't know. 1t
is expected that it will, but we cannot
tell"

PENNSY PROJECT
For the Removal of the Crowded
Commission Trade
FROM LIBERTY TO 26TH STREET.
A Scheme That Would Revolutionize Bust.
ness Down Town.
HOW THE IDEA MAY BE CARRIED OUT

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company has
proposed to the commission merchants of
Liberty street that they all move out to
Twenty-sixth street. AT the head of that
thoroughfare is located the old transfer
depot of the railroad company. This they
offer to commission dealers as huge prod
uce depot, and to so concentrate there that,
although each merchant would be as COM
pletely isolated to himself with his own
business as at present, their general assem-
blage together under one roof, or one series
of roofs, would result in wholesale ex-
change for the grocers of Pittsburg and
Allegheny.
If there is one feature of this city that is
more familiar to the people than another it
is the long line of commission stores
stretching along Liberty street from Sixth
street eastward for several blocks. When a
Pittsburger hears ''Liberty street. men,
toned he instantly sees picture of huge
piles of cabbage, pyramids of watermelons,
veritable arcade of apple and potato bar

the foot of Liberty street, hut twill partic-
ularly benefit freight shippers doing busi-
ness in the Lawrenceville district of the
city.
I'll the commission merchants agree to
accept the proposition to concentrate their
business there, why we shall find ample
room for them in the buildings If they do
not care to leave Liberty street, then we
shall give the whole building over to gen.
eral freight loading. We shall begin chang
ing the depot very soon, so that if the COM
mession men are still considering the matter
they must quickly decide"
An overcrowded Thoroughfare.
Armed with a snapshot camera, a re-
porter of THE DIsPATCH.took a position at
the corner of Liberty and Sixth streets last
Saturday morning. What he saw during
the next three hours anybody may witness
every Saturday morning. AT daybreak
wagons from the small grocery stores began
to arrive from all parts of the two cities.
The early bird caught the worm, and,
heavily laden with the choicest of the offer
ings of the commission stores, the first ar
rivals were seen on their way back to orna-
ment the fronts of their stores with green,
fresh and odorous produce. But by
o'clock more wagons were on hand than
could be supplied at once. By 1880 wagons
then arriving could not get into the north
curb of the street, from which they loaded
their purchases. So they commenced to
form line close beside the vehicles re-
ceiving loads. BY 7:45 this second line of
wagons extended from Sixth street beyond
Seventh. Then line of vehicles was conf
menced away off on the other side OF the
busy thoroughfare. 1t was not long before
that was completed nearly two squares
long, and then fourth line was begun by
the rapidly arriving teamsters and grocers.
This fourth line of wagons was the most
striking of all, for it ranged along the tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad-right on the
tracks of the locomotive. One other track,

DEATH PREFERRED TO DIVORCE.
A Newark Man Shoots His Wife and Takes
His Own Life.

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 81 Special +
Charles S. Quackenbush, formerly of AL,
bany, who was arrested in this city some
time ago for threatening to kill his wife,
returned to his home here from Mon
treal at o'clock tonight, and shot his
wife and himself. He died instantly,
and she in ST. Michael's Hospital with a
bullet in her brain. While Quaekenbush
was in Albany he lived life of leisure,
having inherited considerable money from
the estate of his father, who had been Mayor
of Albany and was a wealthy man.
Quackenbush had wife and three chill
dren, and when in his cups he made their
lives miserable. He frequently threatened
to kill his wife, and was once prevented
from running saber through her. He
came to Newark over a year ago, and one
day during October was arrested for threat
ening to shoot her He was bailed out in
81, 900, and the trial was set for Wednesday
next. Meanwhile Quackenbusb went to
Montreal, taking his oldest daughter, Mag
gle, with him, and Lawyer McDermitt be-
gan to draw up separation papers, in which
Quackenbush agreed to give bonds and
mortgages for about $1,000 to his wife for
her support.

'Ts not Liberty street too small now for
your combined business?" continued the re-
porter.
eyes, it is. If we had the whole street
to ourselves it would not be, but first we
were worried almost to death by the nuis-
ance of the Pennsylvania Railroads s freight
tracks along here. We have several times
raised such howl about running trains
along here in business hours that the COM
pany had to stop it. Then came the cable
cars, which crowd us frightfully now, and
makes it very risky for the horses of the
grocery wagons. Yes, there is no question
we could carry on our business with more
satisfaction to ourselves and our customers
both if we had more room. This street,
though, is like our heritage A location
upon it is mighty valuable to the commits
sion business. Still, if all the commits
sion merchants could be induced to move at
once, it might be good thing to seek other
quarters for our growing trade. In such an
event the offer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company would give us as good a site as
any, perhaps, though that might be mat
ter the retail grocers might have something
to say upon"

corpus. The State will be asked to show
cause why they should have imprisoned
Slye and kept him confined. Two reasons
will be advanced to show how Slye is being
illegally restrained of his liberty. The first
is that the ST. Louis city Criminal Court
has no jurisdiction in the case, the robbery
having been committed in st. Louis county,
and the second that the prisoner was brought
here from California in an illegal way. The
City Attorney is said to have made the
statement that Slye cannot be held.

invited to a meeting to consult with the
railroad officials. The meeting was held in
my office, and was well attended by mer-

quite agreeable and profitable to both sides.
The general opinion still seemed to be that
the project could only be brought about by

whom cannot recover, being badly burned
