THE MOBILE AND OHIO CASE.
The Supreme Court of Alabama Render
Its Decision Through Judge Coleman.

MONTGOMERY. ALA, April 4.-rhe
supreme court Of Alabama, through JUS
tice Coleman. rendered its opinion upon
various controversies involved in the con-
test for the coHtrol Of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad. The court decided first
that there Is not anything in the agree
ment OF 1876 and 1879. which Is in contra
yention Of public policy. and that the
various documents were executed for a
valid purpose and therefore are binding
upon the parties.
Second as to the agreement and gen
eral mortgage OF 1888. wherein IL Is pro-
vided that the deDentures issued under
the provisions of the agreement of 1876.
shall be exchanged for four per cent.
bonds. and the debentures thus exchanged
shall remain with The trust Of the gem
eral mortgage of 1855 and with all OF
their rights unimpaired. The court deter
mines that these various transactions are
valid, and that the fact that the debent-
ures were exchanged for four per cent.
bonds did not pay or satisfy the debent-
ures. but they remained alive and with
all Of their rights unimpaired, as a secu-
rity for the four per cent bondholders.
Third. The court further determines that
the transaction Of 1883 did rot materially
vary from the agreement of 1875.
Fourth. The court also determines that
the stockholders who entered into the
agreement OF 1876 TO prevent the Mobile
and Ohio railroad from being sold under
a decree Of foreclosure did so as princi-
pals, and not Ak sureties. In other words,
the relationship Of surety did not exist
between the asserting stockholders. the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company and
the debenture holders.

cd in this case, in view Of The facts which
appear on the face of the bill. and the
exhibits thereto attached. ought to have

THE SPANISH CELEBRITIES.
Secretary Gresham Trying to Find the
Money With Which to Entertain Them.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4.-The
State Department officials are somewhat
worried over the question of paying the
expenses for entertaining the Spanish
grandees and other foreigners who viii
visit the Worlds Fair, The joint resoiu-
tion of Congress inviting Spanish royalty
to participate in the opening ceremonies
of the Exposition carried no appropria-
tion for the purpose named. IL simply
states that under his direction the Sec
retary of State shall make suitable ar
rangements for their reception and en-
tertainment." and Secretary Gresham is
endeavoring to determine where he can
secure the money necessary to carry
out the instructions of Congress. II is
almost certain that the necessary amount
will be taken from the contingent fund
Of the State Department, leaving to Con-
gress the appropriation of an amount
sufficient TO cover any deficiency that
may occur. Arrangements for the re-
ception and entertainment Of the distn-
guished guests have not been completed,
but will be in a very short time. Two Of
ficerS of the navy have been detailed to
take charge of the distinguished Spanish
guests and escort them TO all the ports
they viii visit.
The Infanta Eulalia's party will he in
charge Of Commander Davis. It will con-
sist Of the Infanta and her husband,
Prince Antoine; the Duke Of Lamanes.

waiting; Marquesa De Ascohermoso and
Marquesa De Conillas. With the Duke of
Neragua, who will be under the COM
mand Of the Cicerone. will be the Mar
quls Of Barbaloe. his brother the Duchess
Of Veragua, the Dukes son and secretary.
The Dukes party left Madrid yesterday
and they are due in New York on April
18th The Infanta and her suite are due
In America on April 10Th. They will come
from Havana on a Spanish man-of-war.
It is probable that neither party will
attend the naval rendezvous at Hampton
Roads, but will be in New York to witness
the naval review.
