ENJ0lN BOOK TRUST.
Another Injunction Asked in
Supreme Court.

Quinton & Quinton, attorneys for
Crane & Co. took a new turn on the
American Book company this morning
by going into the supreme court and
asking for another restraining order to
keep the company from doing business
in the state
1t is not a new suit. but a new order
is asked for on the ground that the
American Book company has not COM
piled with the state corporation law
The contention is made by the at
torneys for Crane & Co. that the Amer
lean Book company did not comply with
the requirements of the law in filing its
Statement-that the statement was too
general and not enough in detail. and
that the company ought not to have
been admitted into the state by tie
charter board
The attorneys for the American Book
company, the other hand contend
that they have complied with the law
and that the charter board is the sole
judge of whether they have done so or
not; that inasmuch as the board de-
clded that the company compiled with
the law and had been given authority
to do business in the state, there is no
longer any ground for an injunction
against the company.
The application was presented in
chambers today before Chief Justice
Doster and Justices Johnston and
Greene. Quinton & Quinton presented
the application and it was resisted by
Major A. M. Harvey and F. Dumont
Smith, representing the American Book
company. The court took the matter
under Amusement for short time.
II this injunction fails suit may be
brought to annul the contract of the
American Book company with the text

was made when the company could not
do business in the state and that it was
obtained by fraudulent means

0. K. THE BRICK.
The City Council Will Approve
Blackman's Paving.

Blackman's brick have received the
official o. K. of the streets and walks
committee of the city of Topeka. and
the protest against the use of that kind
of brick for paving on East Eighth av-
enue will in all probability be turned
down this evening by the city council.
1t was a narrow escape which the
brick had, however, from condemna-
ton through the abrasion test which
was performed this morning at the
Capital Iron works. The Blackman
brick showed a loss of IS per cent, the
maximum under standard specifications
being 20 per cent. Brick from the Capt.
tai City vitrified brick plant lost 145
per cent. Lawrence brick were not
tested.
1t is admitted that the Lawrence
brick are superior to Topeka brick, and
some of the members of the committee
were in favor of testing them to de-
termine just how much advantage they
have. But owing to the fact that the
samples of Lawrence BUCK on hand
were several years old and thoroughly
seasoned, while the Topeka brick VERY
green, it was decided that the test
would be unfair to Topeka brick
The test which the committee made
this morning commenced at $50 and
was not completed till 1880. The Capi-
tai Iron works loaned the use of their

together with twelve iron bats of the
same size as the bricks After being
in the revolving box for thirty minutes.
the bricks are taken out and
weighed again, the per cent of loss de-
termined in the usual wayS
Twelve Blackman bricks weighed sew
enty-five pounds when put into the rat
tier. They weighed sixty-one and half
pounds when they came out, a loss of
eighteen per cent
Twelve bricks from the Capital City
vitrifed brick plant weighed sixty-fve
and oae-half pounds when they went
in and fifty-six pounds when they came
out This was loss of AS per cent.
Mr.. Blaekman considers this test
vindfca ton of his brick and the eoun-
cilmen seemed to be glad to have the
matter so easily settled.
