Decision in Favor of Indians.

In an opinion written by Mr. Justice
Shepard. the Court of Appeals reversed
the judgment of the lower court in the
case of the United States against James
w. Humphrey, who, with William l..
c'Buck'O Taylor and Augustus Davis, jr.,
executed a bond In 1894 in the sum of
5000 to insure the faithful performance
Of certain contracts made by Taylor, with
the consent and approval of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, with certain In
dians.
The Indians were engaged to accompany
Taylor as wild west show" which he
proposed to exhibit throughout the coun-
try. Taylor agreed to pay the Indians a
monthly salary, as well to provide them
with proper food and clothing and to bear
all their expenses. When their part of the
contract had been performed they were to
be returned to the agency.
The Indians left the agency August 21,
1894, remaining away until April, 1896 1t
was charged that Taylor did not perform
his contract; that he refused to pay sal
aries or expenses, or furnish them proper
clothing. and refused to return them to
their agency from Louisville, KY.
The government was forced, so it is
claimed, to return the Indians to the
agency at an expense of $434. and the sum
of $500 remained due the red men. The
defense's demurrer to the bond, the alle-
cation being that 1t was not authorized by
the statutes, was sustained by the lower
court. This decision the Court of Ap-
peals overrules, sending the case back for
trial.

ADJUSTMENTS,

THE BIOGRAPH.-It is not probable that
the stay of the Biograph will be prolonged
at Willard Hall beyond one week from
| rtxt Saturday. That will complete its
twenty-eighth week, the longest run of any
entertainment ever given in Washington.
1t has been an entertainment which has
instructed well as amused the thous-
ands of persons who have seen Il, and the
interest centered in it has Increased from
the beginning of its long run. On next
Monday more new views will be placed on
exhibition, which will be up to the high
standard which has been maintained dur
Ing the stay of the Biograph In this city.
The management believes it will be possible
10 add some more new views before the
expiration OF the present week. Among
those to be added next week will be views
Of the scenes incident to the dedica ton of
I'M 1ne Grant monument In New York last
Iuesday. AS the stay Of the Bioeraph
seems now limited to but about ten days
more, these who have not seen this won

c. A. c. MINSTRELS.-The minstrel and
athletic performance to be given by the
Columbia Athletic Club at the Columbia
Theater next Monday evening will be in
the nature of radical departure in a num-
ber of respects from the entertainments
heretofore given by the club. The per-
formance will consist of the regulation
minstrel first part, to be followed by an
olio, including athletic features and some
very clever specialties. The fact that the
end men are headed by those clever art
lists. Messrs. George O'Connor and Joseph
Cullen, will be sufficient of itself to assure
an evening of mirth. The athletic portion
of the performance is in charge of the in
structor, Prof John T. Crossley.

Result of the Annual Election of the
Central Ohio Company.
The annual election of directors of the
Central Ohio Railroad Company which was
held yesterday at Columbus, Ohio, resulted
in complete victory for the receivers of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company, the
latter of which is the lessee of the first
named company, and is regarded as COM
plete vindication of the principle enun-
ciated by the receivers that the stock
holders of the Central Ohio are not entitled
to any rental for their property unless the
charges stipulated can be paid out Of the
net receipts after all the operating ex-
penses of the line are paid.
After the reading of the annual report
of President Collins, the chair at the re-
quest of Messrs. Douglas II. Gordon and

rect The committee was composed of
Messrs Harry Fahnestock. John Black and
William A. Fisher of Baltimore, d. G. List
of Wheeling. w. Va, and J. NJ. Lewis OF
BarEesville. Ohio.
The counting of the ballots showed that
of the capital stock of the company-JO.OOU
shares-a large majority was represented.
OF these $4,000 shares were held by those
who approved of the course of Receivers
Cowen and Murray. The election resulted
in the choice of a board composed OF
Messrs. James H. Collins, William Kinney,
John R. Hall. James Sloan, jr., William
