OHIO & MISSISSIPPI.
English Stockholders Gain a De-
cided Victory.

cided Victory.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 27.-The circuit
court of Hamilton county handed down
this afternoon two important decisions
in the Ohio & Mississippi railway liti-
CATION. In the action of quo warranto
in the name of the state of Ohio by the
prosecuting attorney against the Ohio &
Mississippi railway company, wherein
James II. Smith, Edward S. Whitaker
and Edward Rowland and Robinson
Green were joined as defendants, the
court decided that the acts of the Ohio
d Mississippi. railway company. as a
corporation. in excluding from the
board of directors Messrs. McKim,
Walsh and FahneStOck, and in recog-
niZing MeSSrS. Whitaker and Smith as
directors was illegal and violation of
the law, and accordingly overruled the
demurrer of the Ohio q Mississippi
Railway company to the petition. The
court also Overruled in the case the
motion of Green, Whitaker and Smith
to set aside the service of summons
upon them. and decided that the last
named defendants were properly served
by publication. In second case,
brought by Messrs. McKim, Fahnestock
and Walsh against Messrs. Green, Whit
tdkeT anu OWltI. the court granted Jne
motion of the latter named parties
to set aside service on the ground that
none of the defendants in that case
could be found within Hamilton county,
it having been made TO appear, during
the hearing, that all the defendants in
that case were nOn-residentS of the
state of Ohio. and that only one of them,
namely Smith, had been without the
county, but that he, having fled to Ken
lucky on his way to New York before
he could be served by. the sheriff with
summons. there was no jurisdiction ac-
quired by the court over him in that
case. This is regarded as great victo-
ry for the English stockholders.

BRIGGS ROASTED.
Attorney Chris Gallagher Calls
Him Perjurer in Court.

Him a Perjurer in Court.
The crusaders made another attack
upon the Sunday saloons in the NUM-
cipal court yesterday. aud the proceed
lngs, which in recent cases of this
nature have assumed quite a stereo-
typed form, were greatly enliyened by
a spirited and plain-spoken attack
upon Walter S. Briggs by Attorney
Chris Gallagher tor the defense. The
first case taken up was that of A. L.
Lally, who was convicted of the same
otfense and fined S1GO on Dec. %. The
complaint heard yesterday charged A
l.. Lally with having failed to keep the
same saloon closed Sunday, Jan. II,
thus making it second offense case,
and in the event of a conviction neceSsi-
tating the revocation of the license.
Messrs. Bray and uoakland testified
as to their visit to the place on the day in
question, and after they had finished w.
5. Briggs took the stand and testified
that he knew A. l.. Lally to he the
owner of the place. Then Tom Lally
and A. S. Peck. OH the part of the de-
Tense. swore that they, as partners, had
kept the saloon in question since Sept.
l. and that Mrs. A. l.. Lally was in no
way interested in the business. The
~ siNASo vi " Pti liCSIlSC
and bills in the hrm name were pro-
duced in support of this testimony.
Attorney Gallagher then arose and
said:
''There is no proof here that A. l..
Lally is the owner of the place.; The
only testimony is that of a deliberate
perjurer. man who should be ashamed
to show his head here if he caunot wage
fight on what he recognizes as sin
without committing sin and holding I'D
his right hand to heaven and swearing
to statements that he admits afterward
he knew nothing about"
This is question of selling liquor
interrupted Briggs.
mo, 1t is not" continued Gallagher,
sit is not" Then turning to the court;
81 had intended to ask the court
for summary commitment under the
code, but l shall reach him another
way"
The Lally case was dismissed and
those OF Thomas Gallagher and G. Ham
non, Thomas Nnonan and John Con-
molly were continued until Friday.

DUES IS DOWNED.
The Evangelical Church Fight Is
Probably Ended

IrOD0Diy EnUcu.
CHICAGO. Jan. 27.-The Esher-Dubs
Evangelical church fight, which has
been in the courts in various parts of
the country for the past two years. was
the morning decided by Judge Shep-
hard, of the circuit court. The two
factions are disputing over the owner
ship Of property worth sl,0O0.000. Ac-
cOrding to the views of the court, de-
cree will be entered finding that the
conference held at INDIANAPOLIS and
presided over by Bishops Esher and
Bowman was the lawful one, ana that
they have committed no acts which
would take away their rights.
The suit which brought the legality
of the conference in question was that
Of Rev. George Hussar, an Esherite
preacher, against Rev. George
Schweicker. a Dubs appointee. for pos
session of the Noble street church III
this city. The ground on which the
judge bases his decision sustaining the
legality OF the indianapolis. or ESher
conference, as against the Philadelphia
or Dubs conference, is that the former
was appointed under an action of the
Buffalo conference of 1887, at which
Dubs was present and conserving
party. That conference delegated the
duty of fixing the place on the board OF
publication, which named indianapolis.
The Philadelphia conference was ap-
pointed by the East Pennsylvania an
nual conference, claiming to he the old
est annual conference, and by reason
thereof entitled to do so under the power
conferred upon it by the discipline. The
court held that this power was merely
Alternative, however, and that the action
of the Buffalo conference in comforting
the power upon the board of pUblica.
ton to fix the place was legal and the
selection of the legal place of meeting
of the conference. As consequence,
its clerical appointes were the legal
pastors of the several churches to which
hey were appointed, and Husser, the
Esher apDOlntee, was entitled to have The
Dubs appointee ousted.

TO SAVE TIME.
Proposal to Run a Very Fast Mail
Train.

WAsHINGToN,Jan. 27.--1he attention
of Second Assistant Postmaster General
Bell was today called to telegram
from New York, stating that Vice Pres
ident Webb, OF the New York Central
railroad, had expressed willingness to
put on fast mail train, to leave New
York at 4:30 each afternoon, and arrive
in Chicago at 10 o'clock next morning.
Mr.. Bell said that the government
was willing and anxious to enter
into any fair arrangement with
the New York Central which would re-
suit in expediting the transit of mails
between the East and Chicago and the
far West. He thought, however, that
the proposed hour of departure from
New York was too early by an hour and
a half. The great bulk of New York
business mail would not be ready earlier
than O'Clock. The hour of departure
from New York and arrival in Chicago
would necessitate Il running time for
the whole distance, including stops. of
about fifty-two miles all hour. Such
service would not only result In great
saving of time in the delivery of the
mails at Chicago, but the saving at far
Western points would be even greater
than at Chicago. In some instances a
saving of at least twelve hours could be
effected.

A new feature of the lien law came
mp yesterday before Judge Canty.
Judge Canty's decisions in lien cases
are considered to be thoroughly proper,
as he is we'll versed in lien law. He
tries all the lien cases which come up in
the district court, and up to yesterday
has never had occasion to wander from
his usual course. In making his de-
cisiOn in the case of Paul Blackmar,
trustee. against Hudson S. Blocker and
others yesterday he took an opposite
course to what he had previously pur-
sued. This was made necessary by q
recent supreme court decision.
1t has been established by the courts
that liens take precedence to a mort
gage in foreclosure. The recent Sill
preme court decision, however, made it
necessary for the court to decide that a
mortgage, unless terminated, precedes
the lien.

Causes Great Danger to the
ROarders


The New England house, cornerlSec-
and avenue north and Second street.
took fire at 5 o'clock yesterday morning
and great loss of life was narrowly
ayerted. The house was filled with
male dodgers. all of whom were asleep
when the fire broke out. and nearly all
of whom were so nearly suffocated by
smoke before they could he aroused
that IL was necessary for the firemen to
carry them out through the windows
and down the ladders and fire escapes.
However, all escaped uninjured and the
damage to the building, which was
two-story brick structure, will not ex-
ceed $1,000. The origin of the fire is I'M
known. Several of the inmates of the
house lost money and valuables in their
hasty exit, and among these was Andrew
Pierson, who dropped purse containing
$50. The wallet was, 1t is claimed,
picked up by Walter Grinton. who found
it while looking for small sum which
he himself had dropped. Plerson de-
manded the return of his roll, but Grin
ton denied that he had 1t. Pierson then
secured his arrest. He was arraigned
in the police court on the charge of
grand larceny and bound over to the
grand jury in $500 bonds.

NO MORE CONFERENCES.
John Day Must Fight if Elected
Park Board ATTORNEY.


The Republican members of the park
board are talking as if they did not ex-
pect to hold any more conferences OH
the attorpeyship before the next meet
ing. They will go into that meeting
without any agreements, and then do
their best to select an attorney. 1t is
limited that this is all indication that the
GJertSen men were pledged for but one
meeting, and that he will be thrown
over into the next township when the
park commissioners next come to bal
lot. However that may be. he is still in
the fight and working every day. He
can depend upon four votes anyhow.
1t seems that r. A. DAILY is out for the
attorneyShip. He Is paving his wav
toward an election by the distribution
through his friends of carefully com
piled sketch of his life. Whatever
Daly's chances for an election may be.
he shows wisdom, the wise ones say, In
getting out biography of himself be-
fore the fight. He may not live through
the battle. and, with this compilation in
the hands of the public, there will be no
excuse for the newspapers publishing
an obituary notice full of errors. And
through all the talk about candidates
for the attorneyship the name of John
Day Smith runs as a silver thread. The
men who have not been captivated
by the pouter-pigeon eloquence of
John Day-and such are in ex-
.istence, strange as it may seem
are glad to see this idol of Eighth ward
sewing circles making the fight. The
park board attorneyship is not an I'M
portant office; that is, one that carries
with it much of honor; nor is the salary
attached to it stupendous, although it is
tidy little sum. The non comformers
to Smith worship are pleased to see
John Days vaulting ambition reversing
the usual order and going from the gov
ernorship or congressional honors to
the park board attorneyship. 1t also
affords them pleasure to see John Day,
by seeking this Office, virtually admit
that he is not pure-minded, patriot
politician, actuated by nothing but con-
sideration for the public in his Office
seeking venture, but Is just like ordi-
nary men who want the offices for what
