Railroad Is Given Ten
 Days to Answer.
Montgomery Court Holds Company Has Not shown Its Authority For Operating south and North
 In It's own Name.

By a decison filed by Judge A. D. Sayre in the civil division of the city court yesterday, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company now faces the alternative of presenting certain facts to support the legality Of US operation of the line owned by the South and North Alabama Railroad oe- tween the cities of Decatur and Mont gomery, within the next ten days, or of being busted from the control ot that railroad under it's own name.
 Either the railroad which has been operating as one continuous system be- tween the cities of the North and the Southern port of New Orleans, must present facts, authorizing the the vir- tuaI proprietorship it has exercised TOT more than thirty years, or IL must suI- fer the loss of a section covering Toy miles from the center of US North anu South line.
 The plans that have been laid by tha Louisville anS Nashville, based on the asserted power of operating the south and North Alabama Railroad; the money 1t has expended; the enter- prfses it has undertaken as auxihary Co the latter road; all the protects u  ground of it's authority over the lat ter road, may be greatly affected by the decision of yesterday, if this de- eison stands. The connecting Hnk III its system, unless action be taken as indicated in the decision of Judge Sayre. is to be taken from its control as onerators. and to be conducted un- der the management and name of the South and North Alabama Railroad Company.
 The decision of JudL Sayre was rem dered in quo warranto proceedings in stituted by Henry B. Gray or BIT minrham, representing the minority stoekholders of the South and North Railroad, which charged the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company with usurping the franchise of the South and North for the purpose of operating the latter, and asked that 1t be busted from further use of the road.

 Johnny expected no Christmas gift; but his spirit was not disconsolate, neither was there rebellion in his heart.
