An Opinion of Interest.

CHICAGO, March i7.--An opinion laid
down by Judge Grosscup is OF vital in
terest to owners Of paid-up stock in build
ing associations. Two years ago the affairs
of the American Building and Loan AS
sOciation were plac d in the hands of a
receiver. A number of owners of paid
up stock recently filed an intervening pc
tition asking TO be discharged with their
stock I'm full ana released from further
liability on the grounds. They did not
stand in the same relation of the other
stockholders who made stated payments
on their stock, but were in reality pre-
ferred creditors. Judge Grosscup refused
the petition holding that all stock ckholders
were on the same plane; that all partici-
pated la the dividends of the company
alike, and IL necessarily followed that
they must alike bear the losses.

RIVER AND HARBOP BILL.
VIII Be Reported 10 the House In Few
DAYS.

WASHINGTON, March lit is expected
that the river and harbor bill will be re-
ported to the House within a few days.
The first stimate of the bill was about
S12, 900, 600, but it is now understood that
the bill ,gill not of itself appropriate more
than $40, 900, 900, but will put large num-
ber of projects under the continuing con-
tract system. The contract for the Mis-
sippi river improvement Is about to ex-
pire, and il js quite likely to be renew
ed, as that for the Missouri river, where
the work is not yet completed. In addi-
tion to these, it is probable that mum Der
of other projects will be added to the bill
and contracts authorized even II but a
small amount for beginning the work Is
carried in the bill which is now being
