Pullman sues the Milwaukee Road.

Chicago, May 31-The suit of the Pull
man Palace Car Company against the Chi
cago Milwaukee e. st. Paul railroad for
sos. 900 came up before Judge Seaman in
the United States court this morning. In
1882 the two companies entered into fiji
teen-year contract, which the road was
privileged to end at the expiration of five,
eight or eleven years. The railroad fur
nished 100000 and the Pullman company
500 900 for the building and equipment OF
forty-five parlor and sleeping cars. TO be
run on the road. The Pullman company
was to take charge of the operation of the
cars and each year render an accounting
and make a division OF the profits accord
ing to the interests of each. The contract
provided that at the end OF Ave- eight or
eleven years the railroad could pay the
Pullman company the sum OF s101.0o0 and
become sole owner Of the cars and the ser
vice. Al the expiration of the eight years.
i'm 1880. the railroad gave notice TO the Pull
man company of it's intention to buy out
the latter. The Pullman company claimed
$1,000 for its fourth interest, and the rail-
road insisted on deducting several thou
sand dollars for damages to, the cars.
This was not allowed. and now the Pull
man company is suing for 100000 dam
ages the St. Paul road being willing to
compromise for one-fourteenth of that
sum.
there is one by the railroad company
against the Pullman pending on the chan
Gerry docket asking for an order compell-
ing the Pullman company TO render an ac-
counting for the expenses of operation
during the eight years the contract was in
force. The hearing of the case will prob
ably take a week or more
