THE sEABoARD DECISION.
Judge Simonton Gives President Hoff-
mann Leave to Answer Over.

Richmond, Va. Dec. 6.-The opinion
of Judge Simonton in the case of Mr..
Thomas +. Ryan against the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Company and
others, was handed down to-day in the
United States Circuit court 1t involves
original certificate 754 for 153 shares OF
stock of the company. The prayer OF
the bill, among other things, is that
the complainant be declared the owner
of certificate No. 754. This certificate
is personal property. The defendants
file their pleas to the jurisdiction upon
the ground that Richard Curzon Hoff-
mann, Louis McLane Andrew G. Trippe,
j. Livingston Minis and Charles ID.
Fisher are citizens of the State of Mary
land, and that the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad Company, a part of the system
is citizen of the State of North Caro-
lima. Judge Simonton's summing up is
as follows:
$50 far as the claim for the delivery
of certificate No. 754 is concerned, mas
much as this is, within the district, per-
SOnal property, the title to which is
clouded and possession of which is
sought, the bin is within the act of 1875.
AS Mr.. Hoffman, is president of the
company, holding the certificate, whose
action is necessary to obtain full relief
respecting it, and as Mr.. McLane has
certificate issued upon surrender of
this certificate No. 754 they are parties
who can be served, Notwithstanding
their non-residence. The pleas based
upon their presence as parties are over
ruled, and the defendants have leave
to answer over. With regard to the
other defendants the pleas are sustained
and the bill as to them is dismissed.

MOTHER MCKINLEY GOT BETTER.
But Last Night She had Another Sink

Canton, Ohio, December 6-There was
an agreeable surprise to the children
and friends gathered about the bedside
of Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley this
afternoon. She regained consciousness
sufficiently to recognize not only her
children, but to extend greetings to them.
to her aged sister, Mrs. Osborne,
Charles Miller and others who were near.
She was able to take little nourish-
ment about noon.
AT 1880 O'Clock tonight Mrs. Mckinley
is exceedingly low. She has just ex-
perienced one OF the sinking spels during
which life seemed to be almost extinct.
There are moments when she does not
seem to breathe. If she rallies from this
spell she will probably survive the night,
but just now it seems doubtful that she
will rally.
