THE STANFORD CASE
Court of Appeals Decides in
Favor of Mrs. Stanford.
ROADS ON SAME BASIS
What is Sauce for One is Sauce for
the Other-Case Will go to us.
Supreme Court.
Special to the Astorian.

Special to the Astorian.
San Francisco, Oct. 12-The United
States court of appeals today decided
in favor of Mrs. Stamford on the appeal
taken from the decision of Judge Ross
sustaining the demurrer of Mrs. STANFORD
in the suit brought against her to re-
cover SIS SS7 900 alleged to be due the
government from the estate of Leiand
Stanford on account of CentraE Pacific
bonds.
The opinion Stated 1.-THE question before
the court to be whether the stockholders
were to be held individually liable for
the debts of the company. The court held
ttat the Ctalbility of The stockholders
of the Central Pacific could not be differ
ent from Those of the Union Pacific and
had there been a consolidation of the two
companies THE debt would have been co.,
lected from the stockholders; and what
would apply to them then app1ed now.
Judge Glibent, who read the decision,
cited alt length THE laws governing the
stockholders of the Union Pacific. In
this instance the share holders were not
held Ciaible and 1T is explicitly so stated
in the charter which was obtained in
Iiiinols. On the other hand the State of
California imposed a PERSONAL liability
corporated.
But" said the court, 'fis it reasonable
to suppose that when the government
granted the two roads subsidies that 1t
intended to hold the shareholders of one
personally Maible and not the other? Can
it be imputed that this was the intent
of congress when 1t set aside lands and
assumed part of the debit of the COM
pany?"
The court futTtheT on urged that It was
the Intention of congress to put both
roads on the same footing. Judge Davis
OF Illinois OIas already decided that Union
Pacific stockholders were not Liable.
Again, the court remarked: "It Is not
reasonable Ito presume THAT individuals
would engage in such an enterprise were
they to imper'll not only their investments
but their private fortunes"
The case win be taken to the United
States supreme court

IRON.

The iron makers expect large demand for iron from the railroads before long. This will give iron another boost. The rails on many of the roads need replacing, and new roads are being built. Then iron enters largely in the construction of locomotives and cars. The law requires certain safety appliances made of iron, and these must be put on before the limit allowed by law expires. A fair idea of the coming demand for iron from the rail- roads can be gained by the following ex- tract from the advance sheets of the re- port of the United States Interstate Com mission for the year ending June 30, 1894: "On June 30. 1894 the total number of locomotives was 5,492 an increase dur ing the year of 704. Of these 9S93 were passenger locomotives, and 10000 freight locomotives. The total number of cars reported was 1.27S07S Of these 39,01S were in passenger service and 1205,169 in freight service These figures do not include cars owned by shippers or private individuals. The increase in the number of cars during the year was 4132, as against an increase of 5S.S54 during the previous year. This falling off in the
  the railways have during the year de- stroyed 9 large number of old, wornout cars. During the year 1579 locomotives and 30,3S6 cars were fitted with train brakes, and 1197 locomotives and 34 1S6 cars were fitted with automatic couplers. While the gain in the use of both these safety appliances is largely in excess of the increase of equipment during that year, it cannot be considered as showing a marked tendency toward compliance with the law, as 74S0 per cent of the total equipment is still without train brakes and 72.77 per cent without automatic couplers. The law requires that all equipment shall be supplied with these safety appliances before January, 1898, while it requires that all cars shall be provided with grab irons or hand holds and drawbars of a standard height by July 1, 1S95.'
