 Tn the year 1899 the seven individ- lial defendants and their associates. caused the majority of the stock or the nineteen corporations to be trans ferred to the Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey. in exchange for It's stock' so that the latter company thereby ac. ouired the legal title of majority or the stock of each of the nineteen com panies. the, control of these companies and of all the companies which they controlled, and the power to fix the rates of transportation. the purchase and selling prices of petroleum and It's products. which all these corporations should pay and receive In the conduct of their business in commerce. among the States and with foreign nations.

silver Dollar saIoon Opened.

/ Amending his original decision of November .. Chancellor L.-D. Gardner has issued an order permitting Joseph W. Abraham to reopen hts soft drink stand at IS Commerce street. The es- ta tabIishment was enjoined from opera ton November 2. when the chancellor's order upheld the injunction clause of the Weakley Fuller bill. The proceed ings followed the seizure and closing of the place by the sheriff. under an in- junction alleging that the prohibition laws were being violated at this place. known as the Silver Dollar saloon. z The latest action of Chancellor Gard 'ner in this case was based on writ ten agreement between the counsel of both sides. modifying the original bill of complaint, which asked that the sa- loon be permanentl, closed.
 Sheriff Hood will surrender the keys of the saloon to Abraham. but the fix lures will be held. under the original order of the writ of seizure. Save the foregoing modification of the original decision. the original decree is to re- main in full force and effect in all other respects.

He gave as his opinion that the vote of the country beats of Montgomery county would be two to one against the amendment and that they would send up to the city Q majority of at least 25o against the amendment. He declared it hisA opinion the majority ! In Montgomery county would be be- tween 1.60o and 2.oe0 and more than probably 1t would reach the latter figures.
