AMBITION CURBED BY THE LAW.

MGOVERNr' AND LANDS IN FLAT
BUSH ASYLUM.

man must voice his heroic ambitions modestly
and with a certain coy insistence and reserve
Such is moral of the tale of neutrality-suspicious.
Isaac Lerman of No 81 Varet-st., who declared
from the housetops Tuesday, II can lick Terry
McC3overn!' and yesterday morning was taken to
the lunatic asylum in Flatbush. 1t was surely an
illustration Of shakespeare's of 'Vauting am
btion which overleaped itself and fell'-on the IN
side Of the walls OF a lunatic asylum.
1t is not to be inferred that desire to Tick
the redoubtable young Terry Of South Brooklyn is
an evidence per of insanity, but the episode OF
Young Ierman which eminently points moral
and adorns tale" is that the place for acclaiming
ones ambitions must be chosen with nice appre-
citation of the eternal fitness of things.
But, alas for 'Iky' Lerman! He cried out
through the streets of Brooklyn, Il can lick
Terry McGovernr' And whenever any one APP
preached him he would roll up his sleeves, exhibit
his well developed biceps and forcbly project his
fist at some phantom foe and then repat his cry,
81 can lick Terry McGovcrn!'
The police in Brooklyn, who idolized Terry and
who knew him as an infant when they firted
with his girl grew tired of the vociferous
reiteration of 'Ikys" ambitions. They finally
rested him, but not before Isaac had battered down
part of the wall of his room in the halucination
that he was puncturing holes through the anatomy
of the unmatchable Terry. Even a prophet is
without honor in his country, 'Iky's''
parents discredted the lads aspirations and asked
Policeman Stack, of the Staggst police station. to
the boy.
When the poncenlan called the young puglllsuc
asprant let drive left swing. followed by short
arm tab both of which were blocked by the officer.
Then Stack used a little diplomacy and told Ler-
man that he going to take him TO the ring
side. When arraigned before Magistrate Lemon in
the Ewen-st. police court yesterday morning Ky
overlooked with lighting ardor and a desire for
the strenuous life that he made several swings at
the bench and then announced with profound
tism that McCiovern Sharkey or Jeffres would not
be in with him,
Then he said: II weigh 122 pounds, and I am
fighter I the indicated champion of the
hour! McGovern? Rats! Why. say. boys could
knock rings around him in five seconds! 1 am the
real thing See?'
It unfortunate for Lerman that MAGISTRATE
Lemon could not see 1T that wav, and Lerman was
sent to the headquarters at FTatbush, where he
took off most Of his garments and showed his
muscles. He then demanded porterhouse steak
onions celery, eggs, wine cigars and other neces-
stiles Of life threa tening that If did not get
them he would be unable to be in the proper shape
to meet McCiovern in the ring

INJUNCTION AGAINST CONSOLIDATION.
JUDGE IACOMBE RENDERS DECISION IN KANSAS
CITY AND PACIFIC CASE.

L
JUDGE LAcoMBE RENDERS DECISION IN KANSAS
CITY AND PACIFIC CASE.
Judge Lacomoe of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday rendered an opinion in the Of
Mary 2. Stevens and Frederick {. Stevens,
ecutors under the will of Robert S. Stevens, and
Henry D. Mirick against the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway Company. the Kansas City and Pa
cihc Railroad Company, Southwestern Coal and
Improvement Company. and Henry w. Poor. The
is suit in equity, begun in the Kansas State
courts and brought by the compliments for them
selves and other minority stockholders of the Kan
sas City and Pacific Railroad Company, Directing
10 the consolidation Of the companies named. The
case was transferred TO the Circuit Court here.
The opinion rules in favor of the compliments
and issues preliminary injunction preventing the
companies from taking any further steps TO con-
summate the scheme of consolidation II appears
that two-thirds of the stockholders had voted for
the consolidation, which under the laws of Kansas
was sufficient Among other things Judge La
combe says:
The fraud that IS charged here is a secret and
unfair manipulation of the books whereby officers
of the Pacific company interested in and controlled
by Kansas company have, in collision with
the latter arranged credits and charges and
distribution of earnings that for some time past
the Pacific road has not been credited with the
amount it should have received under the lease,
duced as a plausible excuse for selling it out Qn-
Guiding the property OF he minority to a com
pany in which the majority only were interested,
at a price far below whit 1t Is worth.
