The T. & A. A. Ry. Sale.

Toledo, o., April 3-The suit to prevent
the proposed sale of the Toledo, Ann Arbol
and North Michigan Railroad has been de-
cided by Judge Taft, of the United States
Circuit Court, against the stockholders, and
barring further litigation the property will
be offered for sale on Thursday of next
week. The petitioners claimed that the
directors of the company appropriated the
bonds of the company secured by the con-
solidated mortgage of $1,443, 900. They
also contested the validity of the mortgage,
claiming that it was made at a meeting Of
the directors. which was illegal and un-
authorized by the directors. Judge Taft
gives the opinion that the petition is I'M
doubleday defective, in that it does not
show that any attempt has been made to
procure the board of directors to make the
defense for the company, which the petit
TONERS ask to be allowed to make The
court holds that the averments with refer
ence to fraudulent collision affect but four
out of the eleven directors, and it does not
appear that the other seven would not, il
make the defense which the
petitioners propose to set up.
