THE ABILENE CASE.
T. c. Henry's Suit vs. the Union Pa
eiic Filed in the Court Of Appeals

St. Louis. Nov. 12-The transcript in
the Abilene C<an) eating house case
was filed in the United States court Of
appeals yesterday.
In 1889 the Travellers Insurance COM
pany Of Hartford, Conn, bought IT. O.
Henry's lease OF the hotel and eating
house at the Union Pacific railway sta
tion at Abilene. This lease stipulated
that the railway company would stop
all its passenger trains so that the trav-
cling public could take meals at the ho-
tel but in 1890 the company put on din
ing cars and ceased stopping trains at
the hotel, and ceased advertising that
passengers could obtain meals there
The Travellers Insurance company
sued the Union Pacihc for breach OF
contract and recovered $4,000 damages
This represented the amount of money
which the Travellers company invested
in the balilding by purchase from Hen
~ and On its own account There was
no clear proof as to the loss sustained
by the breaking up Of the eating house
business, but since the failure to stop
the trains had ruined the building for
hotel and eating house purposes. the
court Judge Piner) held that plaintiffs
could recover the cost of the improve
ments and the railway company should
he entitled to the building when it paid

TRUST METHODS 0. X.
Federal Judge Decides a Case That
Justifies the Trusts.

Chicago Nov. 12-Judge showalter
in the federal court today rendered an
important decision in the rebate case
of the whisky company. The jurist
decided that the compact involved in
the rebate vouchers is legal; that the
understanding does not preclude the
buyer from purchasing elsewhere. The
terms merely stipuiate that if the
buyer takes goods from the American
Spirits company and wishes to take
advantage of the rebates he must not
deal elsewhere. The decision is of the
highest Importance. since it confirms
the trade methods of the sugar trust
and other corporations.
