PREFERRED STOCK FIRST.
John ID. Crimmins Asks nm Iniunc.
ton Against B.>.& o. Directors.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA suit in equity
| was begun today in the United States Cir
cult Court by John D. Crimmins against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany In behalf of himself and other hold
ers of the roads preferred stock to re-
strain the directors of the road from pay
ing to the holders of the common stock
the per cent dividend declared in Aug
ust last and payable on March 1. 1881, on
the net earnings for the year ending June
so, 1900.
An injunction is also asked for re-
straining the directors from paying in
the future any dividend on the common
stock from the net earnings of future
years until, in accordance with the pro-
vision upon which the certificates of pre-
ferred stock are sold. a dividend of per
cent shall have been declared and paid
on the preferred stock for cach such year.
In case the court DEGREES that the hold
ers Of the common stock are entitled to
dividend OF per cent after the dfvi-
dend on the preferred has been provided
for. Mr.. Crimmins asks that the company
be restrained from declaring any Dividend
cent out of the net earnings of any fiscal
year until dividend pro rata with that
declared on such stock shall have been
declared in favor Of the preferred stock
The application for an INDUCTION is ap
parentIy the outcome of a feeling of TN
easiness that has prevailed for some lime
among the preferred stockholders. In
der the provisions Of the plan of reor-
ganization of the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
tenn the preferred stock is entitled to 4
per cent per annum non-cumulative divi
dend. There is no provision that the pre-
ferred stock should not get more IL the
earnings warrant. Last year per cent
was paid on each class of stock and the
directors. in view of the company's large
earnings. declared a dividend of 2 per
cent on the common. seemingly in ad
vance, payable on the 1st of next March.
Mr.. Crimmins' contention is that the
preferred stock should receive equal con-
sideration at least, and that no more div
idends be paid on the common stock until
the rights of the preferred stockholders
have been fully recognized and protected.

A JEFFERSON ART EXHIBITION.
Catalogue OF OIL Paintings Executed
by the Celebrated Actor.

| Mr.. V. G. Fischer has just issued and is
sending out to favored few a sumptuous
catalogue of ifty-iive oil paintings by Jo-
seph Jefferson, which will be on exhibition
and sale at the Fischer galleries from De-
| cember 10 to the 10Th 1t is only this
year that Mr. Jefferson has been per-
suaded to put any Of his work on sale;
hitherto he has graciously presented to
his friends paintings which they would
have been too glad to have purchased, but
| which he took royal pleasure in giving.
Mr.. Jefferson's paintings are in no sense
"amateurish." He has painted because he
could not help it any more than a night
ingale can help singing. He is a born
artist, who by comprehensive study and
persistent application has kept pace with
the most diligent and distinguished mem
bers of his clan.
Mr. Fischer. who is great admirer as
we'll as warm personal friend of Mr..
Jefferson. has devised a catalogue which
in itself is a work of art. containing be-
sides an excellent portrait Of the painter
six beautiful photogravures of the prin-
cipal works exhibited. a sketch of his life
and a most appreeiative criticism of his
dramatic as well as of his pictorial la
bors by Mr.. William P. Bodwell Of the
Boston Herald" and James H. Moser of
the Washington Times.
The paintings will be exhibited in Mr..
Fischer's interior gallery and will occupy
the entire space. The frames have been
carefully selected and when the exhibition
is open to the public it will be considered
piece of great good luck to obtain a
ticket of admission. Mr.. Francis Wilson,
who is an art lover and a careful col
lector, having been favored with a pri-
vate view, quickly selected landscape
which will be treasured addition to his
gallery-not because it was the work of
Joe Jefferson, but because of its intrinsic
artistic value. 1t is quite likely that the

The war in south Arricn.

Our dispatches from South Africa last
evening asserted that Bloemfontein was in
condition bordering on panic as result
of fears that the Boer. are about to
attack the city In force. This shows with
what great reserve We should accept Brit
ish statements that the war is over and
that there are now no Boer forces in
the field with the exception of small
guerrilla bands. The British disaster at
Dewetsdorp is still but vaguely accounted
for. while conditions in Cape Colony sug-
gest more than the possibility of an out
break of rebellion within a week or two.
1t is probable that the Transvaal leader
Pearson. who is now in New York may
be right in his assertion that the Sails
bury Government is so sick OF the strug-
gle that il would willingly accept arbitra-
ton within certain lines if some European
State would insist upon that course. One
does not have to read between the lines
to see that the British taxpayer is rapidly
getting weary of the cost of the adventure,
and before long may begin to make ugly
faces over IL.
The party in power understands this
danger, and very likely is casting about
for some means to meet 1t without public
agitation II President Kruger and some
of his prominent associates could bring
themselves TO consider reasonable terms
they might, perchanCe, be offered. Ger
tainly. there is no use in keeping up the
fight interminably. IT, as are inclined
to believe. Great Britain is now willing
to be generous to a brave foe. the Beers
will have themselves to blame for the con-
sequences Of refusal to meet their enemy
half way. and will forfeit all the sympathy
they are now receiving in all parts of the
civilized world In the bargain.

Our New York contemporary. the Sun, -
which, during the Presidential cam
paign was not only willing but insistent
that anything and everything calculated
TO promote Republican success was allow
able and justifable, nc matter how ques-
tionable from an ethical standpoint, since
the election has been engaged in purify
ing the party in an ex post facto manner
which is calculated to excite wonder.
For instance. the union of the Addicks
and opposing Republican factions in Della
ware for the purpose of keeping the State
from casting its electoral vote for Mr..
Bryan, was a noble sinking of local diff
ferences for grand purpose, until after
that purpose was accomplished. Now the
Sun" views with alarm the prospect that
Addicks. without whose advice and assis-
lance Delaware would have been Demo-
cratic, may be elected to the United
States Senate. The Sun says:
The regular Republicans of Delaware have
been endeavoring for ten years to save their State
and their party from the disgrace that the cleo.
tioI OF J. Edward Addicks to the United States
Senate would bring. In their spirited and success
full resistance they have had the moral support Of

We do not know exactly who may be

of whom the Sun" speaks. What is gen
orally understood to be the regular Re-

pears to be controlled by the friends of
MIR. Addicks. Perhaps the Sun consid-
ers boiling Republicans regular" in the
