\ SALUTARY DECISION.

One of the most important decisions
recently made was rendered a short
time ago by Justice Clark, of the New
York Supreme Court. in the suit o: the
stockholders of the New York Mailing
Company. BY paying out as dividends
one and half million dollars of the
capital the directors had advanced
both the common and preferred stocn
much beyond its real value. The a.
rectors sold out at a handsome profit
When they had no more capital stock
in hand, the dividends ceased, and the
stock dropped TO nothing. Thef stock
holders brought suit against a wealthy
director and the judge held that direc
tors were liable 10 the stockholders both
for the legal dividends and for the
interest thereon. Here is an extract
from the decision that will make the
world applaud the upright Judge who
gives expression TO the utterance:
1T does not seem to me that, in
these days of great corporations ann
of combinations into one of many cor
porations, it is asking too much of d.
rector;. fiduciary officers as they are.

BRING HONOR TO THE STATE.

That is great gathering in ses-
sion at ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the
character and ability of the educators
purpose that calls them together. and
in the utterances that will do much
to advance the educational upbuild-
ing of the South.
Elsewhere we publish extracts from
the address of two of the ablest lead
ers in the educational progress. of this
generation-Dr Charles d. McIver,
an honored member of the teaching
profession, and Governor Charles b.
Aycock, whose service to the cause Of
popular education will give him last
ing fame. Young in years. vigorous
in thought enthusiastic for the bet
torment of this section and country,
the speeches of these two Southern
leaders thrilled the convention and
gave direction to it's work.
The closing words of our eloquent
Governor have not been surpassed in
conception and in elegance by any
orator of this generation. The refer
ence to Lee is as happy as it is illus
tra tive of the spirit of the Southern
leaders when the war ended. 1t is a
little remarkable that the two greatest
soldiers the War Between the States
produced were teachers-Stonewali
Jackson, going from the teach'
chair to the army, and Robert Z. ..

MUCH WROUGHT UP
OYER RECENT FIRE
OFFICIALS or CAR PLANT OUT OF
CHICAGO WILL MAKE SEARCH
ING INVESTIGATION INTO THE
CAUSE OF FIRE.

Chicago, october pa mysterious fire
at the plant of Chicago Car and Loeomo-
tive company at Hegewiseh, ILL.,, became
the subject Of a many-sided investigation
with sensational results.
Corporation Counsel e. L. Tolman of
the city law department. today gave out
a statement which says:
THE evidence shows beyond any doubt
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
The testimony of the engineer In charge
of the building, together with that of the
former superintendent of the company,
amounted to a direct charge that Mr.
Isaac N. Perry, the president of the Ma
tional Bank Of North America, had be-
come the owner of the property through
sale under bankruptcy; that he had pro-
ceeded TO manipulate the books, and in
ventories for the purpose of making a
largely increased showing as to the value
of the plant, that he had ordered the in
surance, then about 100000, to be in
creased to 100000 that he had ordered
all the cars locomotives and other prop
erty of the company to be stored within
the shops; that he had succeeded in OBJ
tanning access to the shops alone and I'M
accompanied upon a Sunday afternoon,
and that within an hour thereafter, fire
had broken out in tour of the five build
ings and resulted m the destruction of
two of them"
Continuing. Mr.. Tolman's statement
says:
Mr. Perrys attorney claimed that Mr..
Perry had been the victim of a conspiracy
that 1t being known, that he necessarily
spent Sunday at this plant, fire was
planned to take place at a time when he
should be present, and all the eircumstan-
tial evidence would connect him with it's
origin. The attorney also offered to show
that an arrangement was practically COM
pleted for the sale of this plant for a
sum of money larger than the insurance
and that 100000 was deposited on ac-
count of this contract and that Perry,
therefore, had no motive to commit the
crime. We are using every means with
in our power to ascertain the truth and
are equally determined upon two points;
first that no guilty person shall escape,
and second, that no innocent person shall
be permitted to suffer from an unjust
accusation"

BISHOPS IN SESSION.
Representatives Are Gathering In New
Haven From All Parts of World.

New Haven, Conn, October 26.-Gather-
ed from all parts Of the earth over a
score of bishops of the Methodist Episco-
pal church assembled here today for the
semi-annual conference. The sessions are
expected to last four days. The bishops
present include Wilson of Chattanooga,
Tenn; Nicely of Buenos Ayres; Thoburn,
Bombay, and Hartsell of the Madeira
Islands.
Confronted by vast amount of busi-
ness, the bishops today laid out their
plans for the coming session, devoting the
afternoon largely to a general discussion
of the needs of the church and the best
way of meeting them. With Bishop j. w.
Walden of Cincinnati as permanent sec
rotary, the sessions will be under the
guidance of the various bishops In turn.
Among the most important duties will
be the naming of several commissions to
which will be delegated the duty of con-
sidering questions which for some time
have been fruitful of discussion, chief of
these being the consolidation of the vast
enterprises In which the church Is inter-
ested and which are now sub-dlvided into
various branches. The leading plans are
for consolidation of the benevolent or
CARNATIONS of which there are nearly a
dozen, whose contributions annually run
into hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and the consolidation of the publishing
enterprises, run by the organization.
