LATER.
Sanborn Reversed.

( Washington, March 3O.-The effort of
Thomas w. Pearsall, stakeholder in
the Great Northern Railroad company.
to prevent a consolidation of that cor
poration with the Northern Pacific rail-
road, had a successful issue today when
Mr.. Justice Brown announced the
opinion of the supreme court of the
United States. The case came up from
the circuit court which ruled against
Pearsall. He commended that the pro-
position to unite the two systems was
in violation of the law of Minnesota
enacted in 1874. which prohibited the
consolidation of competing lines of
road. On the other hand it was the
contention of the railroad managers
that the law was violation of the
provisions in the charter of the Mime
apolis & St. Cloud railroad, the original
link of the Great Northern line author
izing it to lease or purchase other line
of the road.
1.-THE question before the conrt," said
Justice Brown, twas whether or not
the law of 1874 was an impairment of
the vested right OF the Great Northern
companies" Discussing the meaning
of the term vested right" the opinion
stated that in view of the court it did
not extend beyond a right acquired by
or under executed contracts. 1t was
within the power of the legislature.
under a general permission, such as is
expressed in the Minneapolis & St.
Cloud charter, to acquire control of
other roads, to declare that it shall not
be used to acquire competing lines and
thus construct monopoly which for
500 years has been held by the courts
in England and this country to be
odious and entirely against public pol
ley"
The Judgment of the circuit court
was reversed and remanded with in
structions to proceed in accordance
with the opinion. Justices Field and
Brewer dissented from the Judgment of
the court.

the same predicament as the ship Holm

to be scuttled in this port in order to save

but the disaster to the Republic has been

During the whole trying time not man
f1inched, and the orders of the captain and
officers were cheerfully obeyed. Several
acts OF heroism were performed, but one
in particular stands out prominently.
John Reynolds, an ordinary seaman. and
Ben Foster, an apprentice, volunteered
to go down into the lazarette to secure
some provisions. The gas fumes were
overpowering and both started for the
main deck again. Foster got up all right,
but Reynolds was overpowered and
dropped back into the hold. Foster did
not hesitate one instant, but, seizing a
wet rag, he put it over his head and
rushed back into the lazarette. He caught
Reynolds around the waist, hoisted him
on his back and, as the latter was just
conscious enough to hold on, he got him
safely on deck. The entire crew was in
deadly peril but they cheered the gallant
apprentice-boy to the echo.
Soon after this the British ship Holm
wood hove in sight and Captain Hughes
of the Republic signaled, 81 am on fire, -
the same flags that the Alexandra set for
the tug Fearless on March % last and the
Brabloch for the Yigilant on the 7th inst.
The HOLLYWOOD put her yards aback and
stood by. When the foremast began TO
sink and sway backward and forward with
each lurch of the ship the captain thought
it was time to get out, so he lowered his
boats and rowed for the rescue vessel.
Once on board the Hollinwo cd Captain
Hughes discovered that she also b ad been
