FUNCTION GRANTED
THE PRO RATA DISTRIBUTION
OF NORTHERN SECURITIES
STOCK ENJOINED.

Trenton, N. j., July 16.-Judge Brad
ford has granted a preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Ed
ward H. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed
pro rata distribution Of the assets Of
the Northern Securities company. This
is a defeat for the Hill interests.
The decision of Judge Bradford does
not dispose of the main points at is
sue in the case, which were whether
or not Hartman and Pierce should
have returned to them the stock Of
the Northern Pacific company which
they put into the Northern Securities
company or whether they should have
distributed to them the stock Of both
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern companies on the pro rata basis
provided for by the directors OF the
Northern Securities company.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North
ern Pacific stock which E. H. Harri-
man and Winslow S. Pierce put into
the combination and which amounted
to about $79,000,000. The contention
Of the Northern Securities company
was that the stock had become the abb
solute property Of that company and
that it was perfectly legal for the
Northern Securities company to carry
out the pro rata plan Of distribution
upon which the company had agreed.
Hartman contended that by reason Of
the corporation being declared illegal
by the United States supreme court
the title had not passed from Harri-
man and Pierce and in consequence
they were entitled to have Returned to
them the particular stock they had
put into the combination and which
involved control of the Northern Pa
cif1c company.

CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury Over Body
of r, Kent LOOMS.


Of +. Kent loomlS.
London, July 19.-At the inquest at
Thurlstone, Devonshire, on the body
of F. Kent LOOMS, which was found
Saturday morning at Warren Point,
about fifteen miles from Plymouth, a
doctor testified that he believed the
wound behind the ear was received be-
fore death.
The jury found that the deceased
was Frederick Kent LOOMS and that
he was found dead in Bigbury bay,
there being no evidence to show how
he met his death.
The evidence at the inquest was
very inconclusive and wholly conjec-
tural, as pointed out by the coroner
when he advised an open verdict, add
ing that, although death was caused by
blow, there was nothing to justify
the suspicion that it was foully ad-
ministered.
Consul Stephens Of Plymouth has
charge of the body, which is in fair
state Of preservation. It will be en-
balmed and sent home for burial as
early as practicable.

Satisfactorily Settled.

The threatened rupture be
| tween the local light company
and the city on the question Of
lights has been averted and the
light plant has won its conten-
ton. Tt will be recalled that the
city withheld payment for the
street lighting for the months of
November, Decem Der and Janu-
airy on the ground that the new
lights which the company had in
stalled were not ur to the con-
tract voltage. The matter came
up at the February meeting and
the city employed an expert to
come here and decide the mat
ter. He made a careful survey
of the local situation and render
ed his report that the light com
papy was fulfilling its contract
and that the new lights were
more than the voltage called Tor /
in the new contract.
One objection to the new light |
is the opal inner globe which is
used. 1t softens the light and I
causes it to appear reduced. /
This is the modern light which
las been adopted by many of
5he cities but the local authori-
les want volume and therefore
,he light company has been or
lered to supplant these globes
With clear globes which viii
greatly increase the intensity of

Extension of the Cty Limlis.

The City Council is properly
preparing to extend the city lin
it's so that those sections which
are tributary to the city and
which should have the protection
of our government and our laws
will come within the corporate
limits of the municipality The
movement is timely, as the city
is rapidly growing and it is well
to extend the limits now that the
city may be prepared to receive
the full measure Of benefit which
will come toitfromthe increased
population and taxation.
AS at present outlined the
southern line of the city is the
road running east and west just
north of the fair grounds. 1t is
proposed to extend the line one
quarter of a mile southwark and
from a point on the river bank the
line will run through Friendship
cemetery east to the west bank
of Luxapalila. It will thus be
seen that this addition will in
clude a large number of people
living in the settlement on the
Pickinsville road. and in the
manufacturing district Of CoIum-
bus, which is at present without
the city limits. It will increase
the city assessment valuation
largely as there is much valuable
property in this immediate sec
tion which, on account o. its pres
ent location, is exempt from tax
alton. From the baul1 of Luxa-
palila at this point the line runs
north until it strikes the south
east corner Of the colored Gene
terry, taking in al of BaileytOwn
and Williams Addition. From
this point the proposed lire will
run west on the southern boun-
dary line Of this cemetery to its
southwest corner, and from here
it runs north until it inter :
sects the road running to the
water works between the places
of Mr. S. B. Johnston and Mr..
Thos. Owen out beyond the old
pest house site. The new line
runs west on this road until it
strikes the city limits as at pres
ent constituted at Anthony
Bound s corner, and from this
point it runs north until it inter
sects the line dividing the prop
critics Of Judge Newman Cayce
and Mr.. George Sherman From
tqis point itruns west to Military
road and thence south on Mill
tary road to the present line aud
along the western limits of the
city to the river. No change in
the western boundary line of the
city is contemp plated, as every
thing of value across the creek is
now in the city limits, and on ac-
count of the overflow no material
increase of population or valuation
is looked for in this quarter.
From this indication of the
new limits it will be seen that a
large area of valuable territory
is to be included in the city lines
and the population will be in

The Hearst boom is to be reck-
Oned with and the man who
doubts it is very much mistaken.
The able Editor and Congress-
man is developing a strength and
following the country over which
promises to make him as formid-
able a candidate as Bryan was at
Chicago. Everywhere e he is de-
veloping strength, and leading
men are coming out for him.
There is a reason for all this.
The loyal and powerful support
given the ticket in the last pres
idential campaign by the re-
sourceful editor of the Journal
made him a world of friends and
his valiant fight in New York,
Chicago and other wealth centers
against corporation greed has
proclaimed him an enemy of
trusts, who believes ia resisting
the power of these monsters. An
other cause of Hearst's great
and increasing popularity is the
belief that he is entirely accept
able to the Bryan Democracy,
and that he is a man who will
unite as far as possible all fac
tions of the party. Hearst is
the coming man, and represents
the hope Of our party.

the work before it. Although a
perfect flood tide of bills has
