THE MILEAGE BOOK CASE.
Railroad Commissioners and states At
torneys Shall Not BE Enjoined.

A decision in the mileage book case of
the Rutland railroad was filed in the office
of George E. Johnson, the clerk of the
United States courts, in Burlington Tues
day. The substance of the decision is
that the railroad commissioners and the
states attorneys shall not be enjoined with
the railroad.
The case in equity is known as George
ii. Ball ct ais VS.. the Rutland railroad ct
ais. 1t is petition by the stockholders of
the road against the railroad officials ask
ing for an injunction to restrain them from
selling their mileages at a price fixed by
the last legislature. The commissioners
who attempted to put the law into opera
ton, and the states attorneys of the
counties through which the road passes,
were also made parties TO the suit, the
stockholders desiring them to be enjoined
also. The decision filed Tuesday reads,
after reciting the history of the case, as
follows:
'None of the state officers here are al
legged to be about, or to threaten, or to in
terfere in any way, with the property or
operations of this railroad company, but
through aud at the end of legal proceed.
ings in behalf of the state as mentioned,
but none could apparently be had unless
soIue dIIdcuLleuJ Ut leVy, on mesne OF OIn-
er process should be attempted. No rea-
son for any injunction against these Off
GERS now appears; the denial of the mo-
ton as to them may be without prejudice.
Motion as to the Rutland railroad granted /;
and as to the railroad commissioners and
states attorneys denied without prejudice"
The demurrer OF the states attorneys
and railroad commissioners to being par
ties to the suit was argued at the recent
session of the United States court two
weeks ago, by Frank l.. Fish of Yer
gennes for the attorneys, d. j. Foster for
the commissioners and Michael Cardozo
of New York for the stockholders of the
road

Ill Luck Followed tn. stewart Millions
From the Hartford Courant.l

From the Hartford Courant.l
The report comes from New York that
Judge Hilton, the adviser and successor of
A. T. Stewart, is in critical condition.
His son has run through a vast pile of the
fortune, and the judge is said to be as dis
couraged as he is sick. 1t is curious to note
the ill-luck that has followed the death of
Stewart. The graye-robbers promptly ran
away with the dead body and demanded a
ransom. The magnificent home for sew
ing girls petered out and became the Park
Avenue hotel. The Hltons inherited the
bulk of the money, and it has been going
like ducks and brakes ever since. The
great store is now conducted by an enter
prising merchant, who came over from
Philadelphia and picked it up at bankrupt
sale. The family residence is the home of
the Manhattan club, which, it is said, can
not pay the rent; and the majority of peo-
pie in New York today would not know
who was referred to if A. 7. Stewart were
mentioned

Got IL In The Neck.

The name of the hero of the follow
ing story is withheld, for obvious rea
sons, but the readers of the Independent
can rely that he is getting facts and not
fairy tale of spring. One of our ath
letic young men was riding along on
his wheel on the road near " arsaw last
Saturday when he saw over in a field a
farmer and large mastiff. The latter
seemed TO be annoyed at the sight of
the rider and began to bark and run to-
ward the road. The fence was soon
climbed and the canine sped down The
road toward the frightened Plymt nth
youth The hope that the dog was only
putting up a bluff was soon dlspelled
by grab at the young mans trousers
The rest of the story cannot better be
described than TO use the wheeimau's
own words. "The second grab The
brute made was his finish for somehow
the revolver | had wen of and the dog
got it in the neck. Over he rolled and
| left him kicking his last kick at the
siCe of the road. The farmer threw up
both hands and ran yelling, Hold on
there. Wait, | say" But didn't linger
to join the funeral procession but bent
my head over the bars and made a
straight shoot for Plymouth"
