CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAYS,
Small Amount of Building the

Some Comparative Statements of an
Instructive Nature.
The Eject OF the Panic on the Business.
The Destination of the
RoRds-The Present
Mileage.

The Railway Age: The year now
closing having been memorable as
year of financial calamity has natur-
ally also been period of comparatively
small railway building. The country is
not by any means yet supplied with all
needed railways. Many hundreds OF
practicable lines have been projected
and will eventually be built, but capi-
tai has learned that railway investments
are beset with many dangers ard uncer-
tainties, and so when hard times come
new enterprises of this kind are among
the first to suffer from inability to raise
money. Although it was evident be-
fore 1898 opened that the pace of pre-
ceding years would not be maintained
In railway building, yet work was soon
in progress on a sufficient number Of
lines to make it probable that the years
total of new track would reach 1900 or
$500 miles. But the July panic put a
sudden stop to number Of lines on
which work mad been actively progress
ing and caused serious delay in others,
30 that the end of the year inds many
unfinished lines on which much work
has been done, and leaves the total of
new mileages less than for any twelve
months in the last II years. Our records
chow that the new main track laid in
the United States in 1898 aggregates
2630 miles on 222 lines in 43 of the states
and territories also that in Canada 461
miles have been built on 16 lines, and
in Mexico SO miles ON lines. The

DONEBY A WATER PIPE.
MUCH LITIGATION WHICH is NOW
ENDED.
The Supreme Court Finds That the
Superior Court OF San Diego
Has Exceeded Its. Ju-
risdiction.

The following opinion was received
yesterday, in which the supreme court
annuls the order OF the superior court of
San Diego county, adjudging Julia v.
Stewart and w. B. Prentice guilty OF
contempt for disobedience of its iudg-
ment, in response to their application
for writ OF review, which was recently
heard in San Francisco:
1t appears that the petitioners, Julia
V. Stewart and W. B. Prentice, entered
into a contract with one Hill. whereby
they agreed to deliver to the latter or
his executors, representatives. and as
signs, at a certain point on the line Of
their pipe, water, not to exceed 10
miners inches, in perpetual flow, under
four-inch pressure, for a term OF 20
years. Thereafter Hill sold and as
signed all his rights, under the contract,
to one j. w. Seton, who construed a
pipe line extending from the point
mentioned in the contract to his
ranch, and thereupon demanded OF
Stewart and Prentice that he be
allowed to make a direct connection be-
tween his pipe and their pipe line, and
to divert from the flums two inches of
water. This demand was refused, it
being claimed that he had no right to
make such connection, whereupon Sell
ton instituted an action against Stewart
and Prentice, in which he prayed that
they be enjoined from interfering with
him in effecting connection with his
pipe with their conduit, and for $1,000
damages. Accordingly temporary in
junction was issued, which was after
warde, upon motion Of defendants, dis
solved, and Seton was ordered to de-
tach his pipe, which he had connected
with defendants conduit during the
pendency of the temporary injunction.
This case WIS tried upon its merits
and Judgment entered in favor of plaint-
iff, awarding him 81 damages and the
right to make the connec-
tion prayed for. 1t wac fur
ther decreed that defendants desist
and refrain from interfering with plaint-
iff in connecting his pipe with their pipe
line, and thereafter, for q period OF 25
years. in any manner interfering or pre-
venting the flow OF two miners inches
of water from their pipe. Immediately
after the entry OF this Judgment defend
ants perfected an appeal, but plaintiff,
Notwithstanding the fact that notice of
appeal had been served and an under
taking given, entered on defendants
premises. cut into their pipe and con-
nected his own pipe Herewith. Under
the advice of counsel that the perfecting
of the appeal stayed all proceedings, the
defendants severed the connection; but
plaintiff again cut their pipe and made
another connection, which was broken
by defendants, who were thereupon
cited to show cause before the superior
court, and after hearing adiudged
guilty OF contempt.
The supreme court holds, however,
that the appeal taken by defendants
operated as aupereedeas against the
judgment in 80 far as it authorized the
plaintiff to connect its'pipe with that of
defendants, and that the court below ex-
ceeded it's jurisdiction in sdjudging de-
fendants guilty Of contempt.
