TURNPIKE RIGHTS UPHELD.
United States Supreme Court Stands
 by a Kentucky Corporation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-In the su- preme court of the United States Jus tice Harlan delivered the opinion in the case of the Covington and Lexing ton Turnpike Road company vs. San ford and others. The action grew out of the act of the Kentucky legislature of 1890, prescribing rates of toll which the turnpike company refused to ob- serve Sanford and others brought suit to compel acceptance of the terms of the act. The case was decided by the Kentucky court of appeals in favor of the law. The decision reversed this on the ground that the law in ques- tion violated the Fourteenth amend ment by taking the property of the turnpike company without due process of law

NEW TRIAL ASKED FOR
In the Case of Seasongood & Meyer vs
 the Territorial Treasurer

A motion for a vacation of judgment in the case of Seasongood & Meyer vs. Territorial Treasurer Parish has been filed in the district court by Attorney L. H. Chalmers.
 The history of the case, which has had a complicated career in the courts, is as follows:
 In April 1893, Seasongood & Meyer of Cincinnati bought from the terri torial loan commission $500,000 worth of the funding bonds of the territory, and as a guarantee that they would take the bonds deposited $10,000 with treasurer When the time arrived for their performance of the contract the Cincinnati firm refused to take the bonds, thereby forfeiting the $10,0O0 deposit, according to the claim of the territorial officials. Seasongood & Meyer then brought suit against P. J. Cole, who mad become treasurer MT. Cole filed an answer asking that the suit be tried on it's merits.
 Pending the time for trial Thomas | B. Parish became acting treasurer, and ALIOTu0y -Geuordl WllSOu udu De6U made legal adviser for the office. Mo- vember Il MT. Wilson and the attor- neys of Seasongood & Meyer came to compromise by stipulating that the firm recover $7, 300 of the deposit, with per cent interest per annum from July, 1896.
 The motion of MT. Cole recites the general facts in the case. It is made by MT. Cole as taxpayer and in be- half of all other taxpayers of Arizona It alleges that the territory has beer damaged $50,O00 by the non-fulfillmen of the contract, and that the paymen of any money to the plaintiffs, aftel their willful breaking of the agree ment, would be fraud upon the ter
 ritory and would add additional bur dens upon the taxpayers. The motiol
 also recites that the $10600 had beer forfeited long before the suit was be gun and that it rightfully belongs t,
 the territory, and denies that the at
 torney-general and loan commission ) had the right to compromise. Tn motion concludes by praying that tn I trial of the case be reopened.

DIFFERENCES SETTLED,
Gen. Giirs Company will Continue M
the Seabontd's Financial Agent.
fNNnshi ,rtnt, SinrN

The railroad world has been much en-
cited for Il week past regarding the
proceedings of meeting of the board
of directors of the Seaboard Air Line,
which took place at Portsmouth, but
concerning which nothing has until
now been made known. All sorts of
rumors have been in circulation as to
what there transpired. and the accepted
belief in most circles has been that the
Seaboard was getting ready to renew
active hostilities with the Southern
Railway Company.
The Star is able to state on the high
est authority that there is not the
slightest probability that there will be
companies named, and that the most
earnest efforts will be made by the
managers of both companies to secure
as much business as possible at remun-
erative rates; also. that the special mat
ter under consideration by the direc-
tors was a proposition made by Presi-
dent r. CurZon Hoffman TO take from
the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
pany. of Baltimore, the financial agency
of the Seaboard, which 1t has had for n
number of years, and to select another
agent. 1t is said that Mr.. Hoffman
frankly stated that the reason he
wanted to make Il change in the finan-
cial agency of the road was because of
the course recently pursued by General
John Gill. the president of the Mercan-
tile Trust and Deposit Company. in
forming pool, the object of which was
to enable outside parties to get control
of the Seaboard, and. as matter OF
course. GUST Mr.. Hoffman from his
present position.
Much to the surprise of the friends of
General Gill, Messrs. Louis McLane
and C. d. Fisher. the former OF whom
is one of Mr.. Hoffman's closest friends,
and the managing member of the Hoff-
man-McLane pool, rallied to the de-
Tense of the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, and took the ground that Gene
raj Gill had not in his action relative
to the conduct of the affairs OF his
syndicate done anything more than. as
business man and hholder of Sea
board securities, lie had n right to do.
and that there wax no reason to make
change in the agency.
| Subsequently General Gin and Presi-
dent Hoffman met in Baltimore and.
after conversation regarding recent
history. particularly of the Seaboartl
Air Line, settled their differences, and
hereafter 1t is expected there will be
no friction between the two gentlemen
| 1t is also understood that as n result
of the bridging of the chasln between
the two mngnateS. the opposition OF
Mr.. Hoffman's friends to the reelection
of General Gill to the presidency of the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company
will cease.
