Depositors Get Justice.

JOLIET, Ill, Nov. l3-Judge
Lynn, OF the circuit court, has rem
dered decisions favorable to deposi.
tors in the Stone City bank case,
which involve several hundred
thousand dollars. Two years ago
the Joliet Enterprise wire company
failed and pulled the Stone City
bank down with it. Both of
these firms were run by Henry
Fish & Sons, and the failure was
100000. The case was carried in
to the courts, but every decision
was against the depOsitors Of the
Stone City bank and they never
received a cent. The Joliet Enter
prise wire company gave notes for
$4,000 to purchase wire. These
notes were Endorsed by Henry
Fish & Sons as the Stone City bank
and as It was decided that the
Stone City bank was a saving in
stitution depositors pushed their
case to have the Joliet Enterprise
notes set aside but Judge Lynn's
decision allowed the endorsement
10 stand and the Joliet Enterprise
Company creditors and depositors
of the Stone City bank will come
out on an even basis.

Brooklyn churches. On December

RIG RAILROAD MORTGAGES.
The siso.Ooo.oOo Mortgage OF the soath-
sra Railroad Not = Record Sneaker

The fact that the Southern Railroad Company.
successor to the Richmond and Danville system,
has hhd In Knoxville, Tenn, a blanket mort
gage for Sl2O, 900. 900 has led to much contro-
versy in Southern newspapers concerning the
colossal sum involved. But the truth is that
the present tendency Of railroads in the United
states is not meFely to consolidate their inter-
ests' but also 10 consolidate their debts and to
replace the bond issues on the separate branches
or divisions by blanket mortgages so-ealled. The
figures OF these blanket mortgages seem prodi.
Rlous when regarded by themselves but In real
ity they are no larger than the sum OF tho
various separate mortgages which they replace.
The SlaO, 900 mortgage of the Southern
railroad Company seems unusually large until
compared with other mortgages executed by
other companies. The four per cent. general
mortgage ofthe Atchison, Topeka and santa re
road covers $780, 900. 900. The Chesapeake and
Ohio hrst and second mortgages aggregate
10000, 900. The Central Pacific Railroad has
two mortgages Of S25,OOO,OOO each. and the
southern Pacific a first mortgage Of Sal. OOO, goo.
The general four per cent. mortgage OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Is for $40
100000. The first mortgage on the West
shore Railroad Is for $50, 900, 600, the Jersey
central has one for $3.50 900. and the Chicago
burlington and Quincy a single mortgage Tor
= ,OoO, 600. The Chicago Milwaukee and 81.
faul has on one OF its divisions, a MORTGAGE for
$25,OO0,00O. The Chicago and Northsrn Paci6c
has a FIRST mortgage for the same amount and
the Chicago hOck Island and Pacific an extenIion
