The c. & u. Is AppeaI.

The Chicago Eastern Illinois Railroad
Company yesterday filed a petition for re-
hearing in its appeal from the recent judg-
ment involving the payment of $4,000 as a
fee for the recent consolidation of the road
with that Of the Indiana Coal Railway. The
company did not file the articles of con-
solicitation required by law with the secretary
of state.
The Appellate Court decided in the case
of William Caylor against the estate of
Daniel Caylor that the verbal death-bed be-
quest of the wife of the deceased defendant
giving all her personal property to the
plaintiff. was binding on her husband and
that as he neglected or refused to carry out
her bequest during his life the obligation
constituted valid claim against his estate.
