Buchanan, OF Kansas City; John c. Wight, OF Phia-

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

RAILROAD COMPANY NOT TREsPAssER
Justice Andrews. in the Supreme Court yesterday
handed down a decision denying application by
the Forty-second Street. Manhattanville and st.
Nicholas Avenue Railroad Company for injuno-
ton pendente lite against the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company and the Ninth Avenue Rail-
road Company, restraining the defendant company
from constructing a road connecting the Columbus
and Amsterdam ave- lines. 1t alleged by the
plaintiff company that the resolution Of the corpora
ton consenting to the proposed extension was In,
valid, as the consents Of the local authorities had
not been obtained, and that the defendant was
merely trespasser and had no right to construct
or operate a line crossing the plaintiffs tracks al
One-hundred- and-sixth-st. and Amsterdam-aYe.
Justice Andrews says the extension objected ia
was completed before the plaintiff made any opposi'
ton thereto. and holds that all the necessary con-
dtions fulfilled by the defendant that the de"
PENDANT was not trespasser and that the plalntln
contentious are untenabe.

Prtend,s tribute.

AT her home near Leetown, w. Va, on
Tuesday, May 4, 's7, aged 70 years and 3
months, Mrs. ELIZABETH H WILTSHIRE
passed to rest surrounded by loving and
sorrowing friends. She was a daughter of
Mr.. John Moore, of Jefferson county,-be-
ing one of large family. One only sister,
Mrs. Jane Campbell, survives her. After a
companionship of 81 years, the deceased
leaves her aged husband to mourn alone
Her surviving children are, Mrs. Eugene
Baker, Mrs. z. e. Dunaway. three single
daughters, and DR.. ]. G. Wiltshire, of Bal
timore, and Mr.. G. B. Wiltshire, of New
York. Mrs. Wiltshire was q woman of
large heart. She made her home the center
where loving friends gathered, where the
acquaintance was made welcome, and
where the passing stranger was freely ad-
mittPd to genuine hospitality. A woman
of strong mind, sound judgment. and I'M
prejudiced opinions, her word was one on
which husband depended, which children
respected, and friends revered. Her watch
word was peace-peace with all the world.
She never wanted any discordant tones to
Jar the music of her life. Her parting adj
vice to her children, Live in unity and
love with your brothers and sisters, shows
how peace had strong hold upon her mind
She preserved her faculties to the last, and
with firm hand held the helm of her lit
tie ship. called home, which, now the pilot
is gone, is tossed by the waves of sorrow
and affliction. She has gone to the chris
tian's home, and if our ears were less filled
with the discords of earth, we might hear
the ''Well done, good and faithful servant,
enter thou into the joys of thy Lord" The
summons came, and sustained and soothed
by an unfaltering trust, sh e approached heI
grave like one who wraps the drapery OF
his couch about him, and lies down to
pleasant Dreams A FRIEND.
