The question involved in this case

The lower court gave judgment for the

The court says:
In the case at bar the amount on
deposit was less than the amount of
the check. and the check being for n
sum greater than stood to the credit
of the drawer, the bank was under no
obligation to pay the check. or to
make the partial payment. The check
was not operative as an assignment.

however. the plan of consolidation here
tofore outlined will be contaminated"
1t was stated yesterday that the opin-
ION was held in some quarters that MIR.
Ryan could appeal from the decision OF
Judge Waddill. In another quarter It
was stated that no appeal could be
taken. 1t Is believed by some that MIR.
Ryan will certainly exercise the right
of appeal if it exists.
The roads which will complete the
system OF consolidation, as now pro-
posed. and which thread the South in
almost every possible direction. are

Company. the Durham and Northern
Railroad Company the Roanoke and

SHOPS AND DEPoTS.
Raleigh. n. c.. Jan. 17.-Vice-Prcsi-
dentist. John. of the Seaboard Air Line,
announced to-day that the railroad
shops burned here several years ago
would be rebuilt at an early date. and
Il large number of men employed in
them.
The general shops of the system, he
says, will remain at Portsmouth. Va.
but there will be repair shops main
tanned at Raleigh. n. c., at Richmond,
or MancheJer. Va, at Americas, Ga.
and at Jacksonville. Fla.
a very lage new freight depot will
also be erected here
ida trains in opera ton by February
ist." continued Mr.. st. John, but we
fear it will not be earlier than Tebru-
ary 10th. We have now five steel
bridges in process of construction.
These can be completed by the list. If
the manufacturers and the contractors
will do their duty. but fear it will be
the 10th before 1t is done
TRAINS AND EQUIPMENT.
THE trains and equipment of the
new system arc all complete and now
ut Wilmington. Del. subject to cur or
Pullman outfits for our fast Florida
Pullman outfits for our fast Flarido
service. Then. at Portsmouth. there arc
the day cars. mail and baggage and
express cars for these through trains"
Mr.. ST. John says he does not yet
know what the schedules of the new
trains will be.
President Williams thinks the line
will be in operation early in February
The grading. he says, is all done. and
the bridges will soon he completed

DIVIDENDS DECLARED.

The directors OF the North Carolina
Railroad Company met here yesterdnv
and declared an annual dividend of ca,
per cent-Sia per cent. payable on Feb
ruary 10th and 3 per cent. pavabIn on
August 10th.
The capital stock of the companv ,s
100000, therefore to pay the dividend
this year will require $780, 0O-or $40 :
600 on February 10th and $4,000 on
August 10th.
Next year. under the terms of tho
lease of the road to the Southern Roll
way Company, dividend of per cent
or 3is per cent. semi-annually. will he
paid. Under the terms OF the lease tho
State is hereafter to get per cent. on
the par value of the stock. AS mat
ter of fact, as the stock in the road is
worth $780, the State is getting only
a little over per cent. on the market
value of its stock.
JUDGE WADDILL'S DECISION.
The decision OF Judge Waddin refus-
ing to grant the injunction prayed for
by Thomas +. Ryan naturally greatly
pleased those interested gentlemen who
are endeavoring to consummate the
scheme of consolidation OF the Sea-
board Air Line system.
