see no reason why the burdens should not
be borne in like manner"
THE PRESIDENTS TRANSACTIONS.
The court concludes the opinion with the
following language:
Evidence shows that the president Of
the defendant association, being the owner
OF fifty lots, proposed 10 the association, as
to twenty-eight of such lots, that If it could
find purchasers among the stockholders to
whom it would loan wherewith to erect
dwelling houses thereon, he would as such
purchasers were found and said loans made
convey said lots to the association at
price agreed upon, which would allow the
association net profit thereon of not less
imam $lw lot, in addition TO the prohts
which would accrue by reason of the loans
SO made; that. as to the remaining TWEEN
ty-tWO lots, he arranged with SAID aSSocla-
ton that ii should build houses on them
ana the association might, as they Iounu
purchasers, sell them at a certain price out
OF Which price said association should nave
$oO pfont per house and lot; that Such as
ISOLATION was not required to and did not
purchase or take conveyance of said lots
or any of them until such association had
round purchasers at the price named and
Fedllzeq the agreed profits; that as result
sdlo nifty lots were thus sold and net
pront realized upon such lots of $3,9O0i that
owing to the depreciation in financial and
!aDor matters within the past four years
II mas taken back from purchasers fifteen
ana a nan Of said lots. 1t is claimed by the
uetendant that on the entire transaction
there has been profit to the association
Of not less than $1,000. The law provides
that such associations shall have the power
ana right to purchase real estate and i'm
prove the same, and to sell, convey, lease
or mortgage the same, at its pleasure, to its
stockholders or others, for the benefit of
the stockholders.
Il think that the most that can be said
IS that the association will probably not
lose anything by these transactions, but
Whlla the power vested by statute in the
association seems TO be broad enough To
cover dealings in real estate such as those
mentioned, the practice of so dealing with
It's president is one that cannot meet with
judicial commentator. 1t is a practice
which, however fair it might be in given
case, would open the way to abuses The
self-interest of the officer would naturally
be opposed to the interests of the associa-
ton
This transaction seems to have occurred
some years since. and, however open to
criticism. presents no sufficient ground for
the appointment of a receiver. There is no
evidence before the court that the practice
IS still INDUCED in. and it may safely be
left to the auditor of state to provide
against its recurrence Being of the opin-
ion that the assessment made was legal and
valid, and covered the impairment of the
assets of the association, the application
for a receiver is denied"

Boston Herald.
A paragraph is going the rounds of the
newspapers to the effect that E. d. Page
is credited with being the oldest passenger
conductor in time of service in the
country. Mr.. Page entered the employ
of the Lake Shore as brakeman in 1853
and in 1858 was appointed one of the pas
senger conductors, and has held the posi-
ton since. While Mr.. Page is certainly a,
well-seasoned and presumably a very active
member of the ticket-collecting profession,
yet he must take off his hat to Mr.. Moses
Boyd, who entered the service of the Bos-
ton & Providence Railroad Company Sept.
10, 1S43, as a conductor, and has been SO en-
ployed ever since. He is now eighty-three
years old. and may been seen any day at
the Park-Square station alghting nimby
from his train and making his way to the
conductors room as spryly as any of them.

WERE RATES RESTORED?
EXCITEMENT IN LOCAL FREIGHT
CIRCLES OVER ALLEGED CUTS.
The Joint Traffic Rulings Said to BE
Contrary 80 the Spirit of the
Interstate-Commerc Act.

About the middle Of June an understand
ing was reached that rates on east-bound
business at all Western points should be
restored to full tariff on July /, thus ending
the decentralization which had been cutting
down revenues for several months. All
Inns agreed, and Sc notified their represent
atives July l came and it is now alleged
that shippers at Indianapolis, St. Louis and
Chicago are getting the same rates as
prior to July /. One special freight agent
claims to have ample evidence that two of
the strong lines are shading rates on sew
eral classes of freights east bound. When
asked why he thought it reasonable that,
with as heavy business as there is now in
prospect, these lines should cut a rate, he
answered that these lines had a good many
idle cars and wanted to keep them busy.
His theory is that as soon as cars become
scarce these strong lines will advance rates
to tariff, carrying out the agreement which
was to have gone into effect on July J..
Representatives of both of the strong iinas
who were approached did not deny the
charge, simply stating that their rates
We're the same as those of their competi-
tors. Inquiry among the shippers demon
strated that if any Generalization in rates
exists it is an unusual thing for Indianap-
oils to be favored in that direction. 1t is
probable that to get large shipments, some
OF the lines east are fayoring cert in ship
pers, but the decentralization is by no means
general, nor are rates deeply cut.
