A Few Decisions Yesterday-Several Impor-
rant Cases Pending.
Yesterday three opinions from the Su-
preme Court and five from the Appellate
were handed down. None of these de-
cisions is of general Importance. The Su-
preme and Appellate Courts. however. have
started the grist. which will make some
very important decisions before the term is
completed.
Among some of the more important cases
pending are the fee and salary case, which
has never been advanced. The Columb bia
Athletic Club vs. Prosecuting Attorney
McMsyhan of Lake county. Is another.
This case come as an appeal from the inter
locutory order from the Lake Circuit Court
appointing deputy sheriff as receiver. The
case involving the Law passed by the last
Legislature allowing county commission
ers to increase circuit and superior Judges
salaries 8. 500. Nigo county refused to 10
this; hence this suit. Another mpOrtant case
is the White county courthouse case. where
the com m issIoners refused TO improve the
courthouse. whereupon Judge Reynolds, of
that circuit. ordered $4,000 worth of i'm
prOvemenrs to be made. and the commits
siOners eDJOined him from so doing. Then
there is the Crawfordsville Petit murder
case and the jennings county auditor case.
All these aud others will be decided during

SMITH AND THE ROBY BILL.
AttOrney-General Talks of Big Com
bine" in the Legislature.

AS time goes on there seems to be q grow.
ing desire on the parsof Attorney general
A. g. Smith TO refute certain allegations
which have been made In print concerning
connections which he asserts never existed
between himself aud the Roby bill. Mr.
Smith uses no doubtful superiatives when
referring to the editorial in the Indianap-
oils Journal during the time of his recent
visit TO the springs In Colorado. The At
torney-general very forcibly affirms
that the nefarlous Roby bill was
neither the product of his Office
nor was II framed in mis-
office. nor by any person or persons who
are directly or indirectly connected with
his Office, nor with his direction, aid OF
consent, and that its passage was the work
of an interruptions lobby. with the he lp of
a few members OF the Legislature. He fur
ther AYERS that the passage of the bill was
accomplished before he had any knowledge
of it's existence. The bill did not bear on
It's face evidences which the ordinary mind
would recognize as being of evil tendep-
cies. Furthermore" he says. "the 60
called ROby bill did not. By any of it's pro-
visions. authorize prize fighting. Nor
does il authorize the organization
of clubs for the purpose of
carrying on such criminal sports.
Mr.. Smith goes on TO put complexion
upon the iuflenoes which prevailed IN Sc
curing the passage of the bill that Is not
generally known and may be o piece of
news to q great many people. lie states
tn at it was with the assistance and intiu-
ence of prominent representatives of cor
porations that q pool was made whereby
certain measures were TO be considered by
the Legislature, among which was the
Roby bill. Monon railroad bill. city Off Gers
bill and Others, In consideration of which
certain gentlemen representing the corpo-
ratiOns of this State. notably the Western
Union Telegraph Company and Pullman
Palace Car Company. agreed that they
would aid in the passage of these meas
ures if their friends would assist them in
the defeat of the amendments to tho gem
eral tax law and the sleeping-car bill.
So it would seem at this late day some ex-
cuse and some avenue of escape is coniured
up by the fsclle Attorney general for nim-
self as we'll as Governor Matthews. for
whom he indirectly pleads ignorance The
broad and generous plea of ignorance is

lAtor through whose vote rhe bill became

ming and craftiness of the Senator from

was too much for the understanding of his
fellows. IL is possible after all that this
same plea of ignorance will be- found the
most extenuatiDR. And in the language of
the belligerent Attorney general why curse

and best Of the coal-carricrs. the Lackawanna
had less to gain by any species Of combination
than most of the others. The one feature Of
the matter which naturally controls public opn-
ion is that an end Of strife and destructive
competition would be OF advantage to all in
tcrcstcd In that light the Lackawanna nlso
should gain in the end, even though some other
COMPANIES gain more. 1t is to the good of the
company too, that comparatively large part
Of its S2G.2OO,0OO stock is still scattered in the
hands OF many holders who may readily assent
to an Improvement but not to subordina-
ton Of their property.
II is rightly regarded in the Street as an en-
couraging feature that capital to the amount
of eight to ten millions has been found ready
for investment at current prices of securities.
The effect upon other stocks and bonds Is likely
to be favorable. But not all railroads are so
profitable or occupy so strong position. as the
Lackawanna, and the men who gladly buy il
good thing when they can may not be mt all
inclined to purchase stocks whose earning
power is yet to be demonstrated. Perhaps the
event suggests nothing else more forcbly than
the emincntly discriminating character or sub
stantial buying in times like these.

THE L1fKdU1NNA PURCHASE.

The coal kaleidoscope turns again, and again
the central figure is Vanderbilt. But hereto
fore the coal ventures Of this powerful Interest
have been somewhat tentative and subordinate
Now the settlement of trunk line differences
gives 10 the purchase of Iackawanna stock by
Mr. w. X. Vanderbilt tone Of pcrmancncc
The control Of n third line TO Buffalo, quite
irrespective Of the possibilities in the anthra
cite coal trade, would make the operation not
only important to the NcwYork Central in
terc>t but important for reasons that are likely
to last While il IS understood that men prom
inent in the Ncw-Jcrscy Central have been as
sociated with Mr. Vanderbilt in recent pur
chases Of Iackawanna, 1t is naturally Inferred
that as to trunk line matters the new pur-
chasers will act in harmony with the New-YOrk
Central and that thus there will be removed
one of the most persistent and ugest causes
OF difference in times past.
For the prominent owners Of New-Jersey Cen
trail, since the collapse of the Reading combna
ton. a sure and definite settlement with the
Lackawanna has been extremely important. AS
10 the anthracite interest. it may be assumed
that Mr.. Vanderbilt will act in harmony with
his associates who are also in the New.Iersey
Central as tnev uiy W eApcCtcu W hhIinohiLc
with the New-York Central in trunk line mat
ters The new development therefore puts the
New-Jersey Central quite at the front as to
anthracite interests. and it is within the pos
sibities that the adjustment Of affairs in Read
ing may be effected That, also is only Ques-
ton Of some millions. IT, as many believe,
lasting harmony in the coal trade would mean
profits scarcely less than lasting harmony in
the trunk line traffic would realize. the latest
step may he toward both results ut once
According TO report Mr. Sloan will remain at
the head of the Iackawanna. but with some
representation of recent buyers in the man
agcmcnt. The idea that the Lackawanna rs Il
trunk line road will suddenly become more
profitable is possibly open to question. The
road will hardly be run TO divert business from
the New-York Central. Nor Is it TO be expected
that its management as a coacarrying road
will be such as to deprive the New-Jersey Cen
trail Of business. Always one Of the strongest
