English Companies Have a Little Hill Against a Mackey Road. Intervening Petition in Suit Against LM E. & St. L. Koad Iiecciver Hawkins's Reply in L. E. & W. Case. Oliver Adams, American agent for a number of English railway equipment manufacturing companies, yesterday filed la the federal court an Intervening petition in the suit of Thomas E. Darrett and James "H. Wilson against the Louisville, Evansvllle & St. Louis Consolidated Itailroad Company, in which Judge Ilaker recently appointed receivers for the read. The English companies represented by Adams are the Bristol and South Wales Railway Wagon Company, Limited, the Union Rolling Stock Company, Limited, the Scottish Wagon Company, Limited, the North Central Wagon Company. The business of these corporations is the leasing of rolling stock equipment to railroad companies in th3 United States on the plan generally known as the "tripartite" car trust plan. This plan enables railroad companies to lease cars at the U3ual rental price of such rolling stock, and upon the completion of the terms for which rented, which is generally for from live to peven years, the railroad companies acquire the title to the rolling stock. In his petition Mr. Adams avers that in November, 1S31, the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis Consolidated Railroad Company leased three hundrsd box cars for seven yeais at a monthly rental of ".CG a car, and on Oct. 16, 1S93, leased 25-0 coal cars at a monthly rental of $4.M a car. The terms of the leases provide that at the ex iration of sevn years from date of their execution, upon payment by the railroad companies It) cents additional a car, the rolling stock is to become its property. The petitioner charges that there ia now due and unpaid upon the box cars the sum of $3,2Pi, and upon the coal cars the sum of $1,225. The other expenses In connection with the transaction amount, he claims, to $423.40, making a total on both leases of ll.SGG.40. m lurther shows that these cars are worth largely in excess of the amounts due upon them under the terms of the contract, and that an amendment of the leases by the receivers now in charge of the road would result in a los3 to the railroad company of all the payments which have been made under the leases. It is also claimed that the railroad company needs the cars for the proper operation of the road, and that the receivers would be greatly embarrassed if the cars should be taken from them by the owners thereof under the terms of the leases. Mr. Adams further claims that the recivers have paid various debts end wages which have accumulated, borrowed money, etc., and that by their own showing they hd on hand Feb. 9, 1S31, a sufficient amount to pay $27,0)O interest due on mortgage bonds of another road operated by them. Notwithstanding all this, he says that the receivers have neglect ed to pay the monthly rentals which have fallen due since the road went into their han'ls. and as far as he is informed or can foresee, there is no Intention on their part to pay these rentals or any future rentals. On this account Mr. Adams asks the court to authorize the railroad company to direct the receivers to approve the leases and carry out their terms; to direct the receivers to Instruct the New York Security and Trust Company to deliver to the petitioner certain rental warrants mad- by the company and sent to the New York Security end Trust Company prior to the appointment of the receivers; to direct the receivers to include in the operating expenses of the railroad and to pay all these rentals, both such as are now overdue and such as shall acrue from month to month, out of the gross earnings of the road, and in case there Is not sufficient money to make such payments out of the earnings, the petitioner asks the court to authorize the receivers to borrow the necessary money for that purpose. In accordance with this petition. Judge Raker yesterday ordered the receivers, Edward O. Hopkins and James H. Wilson, to -appear In the federal court here, March 23, at 9 a. m., and show cause why the petitioners prayer should not be granted, and why he should not have such other and further relief as may seem to the court to be just and equitable. The Lo'.iisvile, KvansvJUe & St. Louis Consolidated Itailroad Company 13 a part of the Mackey system, and went Into the hands of receivers on Jan. 4 last. IllSIESS COLLKUE DISPUTE. C K. Admire Sne Two of Ills CoLtIjorer for Damages. Ephraim E. Admire, proprietor of the Spencrrian Rusiness College of this city, yesterday filed in Room 3, Superior Court, a suit for heavy damages. Allen O. Dowser and John C. Williams, employed as instructors in the institution are made joint defendants to the suit. In his complaint Admire shows that in January, 1SD3, he employed the defendant Dowser to conduct the short-hand and typewriting department of his college. The latter continued to discharge his duties until February of the present year. Last January the plaintiffs secured the services of the defendant, John O. Williams, who was to become a teacher In the commercial department for a period of three months, it being agreed at the end of this period that Williams should have the option of purchasing a half interest in the school if he so dsslred. The plaintiff then avers that immediately after Williams began his work in the college he, with the defendant Dowser, began a conspiracy to defraud him out of his business. He alleges that they sought to destroy th reputation and break up the school by circulating fals? and slanderous reports, by insinuation and innuendo before the patrons of the school, and by writing Ierscnal letters. Further, it is alleged by the plaintiff that the defendants maliciously charged him with being intoxicated most cf th-j- time while in cj.arge of the school and with being incompetent and unlit to teach. He says that they made false statements of the condition of the institution and solicited the pupils to attend a school which they proposed to establish, ri tlntiff asserts that he was unaware of the conduct of his teachers until i-b. 21. and that all the while he was making every effort to strengthen the school, and relied imI;licitly on the defendants for their loyal support. He Ilnally charges that through their wrongful acts and in violation of all consideration of professional ethics, the defendants succeeded In inducing thirty pupils of his school to sever their connection with the same and to transfer their attendance to a college which they pretended to conduct. The plaintiff avers that by reason of the defendants action he has been damaged in the sum of JS.OH), and prays the court to award him that amount. MISSOURI IUOX HAUL FIXDS. Receiver Failey Hue tit St. Uoula to Attend Court There. Receiver Failey, of the Iron Hall, accompanied by Ross Hawkins, left last night for St. Louis to be present this morning at the opening of the Court of Common IMeas. Yesterday Judge Winters was notified by the representative of the Indiana branch of the Iron Hall at Louis that the affairs of the order would come up in the St. Louis courts b-day. It is to be decided whether the Missouri branch will send its funds to Indianapolis or keep them at home for distribution. Should the St. Louis court decide to reserve the moneys collected it is probable that the membership in Missouri will be cut off from a share in the t'istiil.ution to be made here. The purpose of the visit of the receiver to St. Isuis is to Induce the court to send the funds to Indianapolis. hi:cl:ivi:ii i:.vwivi.s's axswkii. He Replica to the Complaint of the L.. I'. .'; W.

Warren O Haver yesterday brought an action In the Circuit Court, asking the appointment of an administrator for the estate of his late wife, Mary E. O'Haver, and also for the appointment of a guardian for his daughter, Mary O'Haver. Hester R. Brier is named as a defendant in the complaint filed. It is alleged that Mary E. O'Haver, who died In November, 1SQ0, left an estate worth $2,000, which she bequeathed to her daughter. Hester Brier -was named in the document as the administratrix. The plaintiff avers that he relinquished all claim on the propertv left by his wife and agreed with the defendant that his daughter should be placed in the St. Mary's school for girls, where she was to be educated at the expense of the defendant The plaintiff now claims that the latter failed to keep her part of the contract and that she wasted a considerable portion of the estate. He also alleges that she took his daughter from school and carried her off to Denton county, where she Instituted proceedings against her In the Circuit Court, and through which the child was sent to the Female Reformatory.

John Veindell. a saloon keeper at 130 Michigan avenue, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with sending a debt out of the State for attachment and garnishment.

He sent the bill to a collection agency In Louisville, and the wages of the men, who are in the employ of the Pennsyvanla Railroad Company, were garnisheed.

The Judgment is for $2.4S4.2J, without relief from valuation or appraisement, and $1,581.34 wdth such relief. The rule which caused the striking from the files of the defendant's demurrer has been in operation in the federal court since Sept. 27, 1S12, and provides that all motions, demurrers and exceptions must be supported by written or printed briefs.

IN SOUND CONDITION Indiana Building and Loan Associations Are in Good Shape. Third Annual Meeting of tho State League Effects of Giftbrd Law Election of Officers. The Savings and Loan Association of Indiana held its third annual meeting in the agricultural rooms of the Statehouse, yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. President J. D. Johnson, of Kokomo, presided. The roll call found over one hundred delegates present. Secretary R. C. Kelsey, of this city, offered his report, which showed a balance on hand in the treasury of $105.78. The report was approved. President Johnson then delivered his annual address. In part, he said: "A retrospective view of the year brings some regrets and many gratifications. It has been a hard year for all business enterprises, and particularly for financial institutions, and it would be useless to claim immunity for the building and loan associations from all effects of general depression. A comparison of the record of these associations with that of other Institutions gives the more gratification to those interested In the former. We have a summary of the first report of the Auditor of State under the Glfford law, and for the first time we can get at the official standing and business of the building and loan associations. With assets of $27,500,000, the associations of Indiana hold only $136,000 of real estate, and they have over $07,000, or one-half of all their real estate, set aside as a fund for contingent losses. In addition to this, they hold undivided profits of $1,760,5S7, which could be used In meeting losses without taking one dollar from the book value of a single share. I am of the opinion that the coming jear will show larger losses than that of the past, and would advise all associations to set aside a sufficient reserve to cover any possible loss. The lawshould be amended so as to give undoubted authority for the creation of such reserve fund. The associations should be able to fay dividends through good and evil times n spite of heavy losses. This can be done only, first, by conservative loans. I mean that not only good security should be exacted and loans made to good men. but that the associations should not strive to get too large rate of interest. It should loan at the bottom and not at the top of the market. Second, by building up a large surplus or safety fund. Into which we can pay our surplus earnings in prosperity and out of which we may draw heavily If we nenl to in times of adversity. Unity is strength, and hence we ought to 'be better organized. No better illustration of the benefits of organization can be furnished than in the case of the income tax feature of the Wilson bill, which has passed the House and is now pending in the Senate. Protest was made by the united efforts of interested association men against the placing of a tax against the building and loan associations of this country, and it was finally stricken from the bill." Hon. R. W. McBride, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court, then followed with a paper on "Taxation of Taid-up Stock." In part, he said: "In determining as to the taxability or nontaxability of paid-up stock in building and loan associations In this State no question of power is encountered. It is beyond doubt within the power of the Legislature to provide for the taxation of such stock. The question Is, has that power been exercised? Whether such stock is taxable or not must be determined from the statutes. Prior to -the enactment of the general tax law of March 6, 1831, the only statute directly affecting the question was that of the act of March 7, 1S7. The general statute relating to taxation contains no other direct reference to building and loan associations. The general statutes are also silent upon the subject of taxation." Mr. McBride then quoted sections of the statutes that had reference to taxation. EFFECTS OF GIFFORD LAW. "The Workings and Effect of the Gifford Law," was the subject of an address by George U. Bingham, deputy building and loan association Inspector of Indiana. He spoke of the growing popularity of the law and at the end of the time when its effect would be better known, It would be held in greater favor. He continued as follows: "In the administration of the Glfford law it has been demonstrated that many of tho associations are conducted in a most careless way, that there is a lack of system in their methods and a looseness In their management that will, if persisted In, sooner or later, bring trouble to them and cast discredit upon all. Perhaps the good luck that has attended them so far may continue to the end." He spoke cf the neglect of directors and presidents in leaving the majority of the work to the secretary. Failure, he thought would, without doubt, come to these associations in the end. lie also spoke of the failure to keep accounts in such a manner that direct knowledge of the association can bo obtained at all times by simply looking at the books. There has been considerable complaint by the citizens of the State that the law has driven forelen associations from the State. This point and effect was considered before the 1 ri.T'jKih l wur 1111. vim: j l liir 1 trz li 1 l." ui i this law has been to show that, in m.anv localities, there are associations whose Holds are entirely too limited to accomplish the best results. The law under discussion has also shown that in many minor things there is room for Improvement. As a measure for creating suervision, te weakest point of the Gifford law is its failure to require at least an annual inspection. J. W. Robb, of Clinton. Ind.. spoke next, his subject beintr. "Maturing Stock and th Difficulties and Benefits Attending It." In part, he said: "The most important and essential feature of caring for the life and usefulness of a building and loan association is the point of maturing its stock. A share of stock is matured when its just share of the net profits added to the monthly payments aggregate the face value of the stock or share. In a large number of associations this feature is not given more than a passing thought until the board of directors come to face the fact that it is time for a series or class of stock to have reached its maturity, or it is often the case with too many of the associations to set a time promised by over-zealous friends or solicitors for Its maturity." The Rev. Father O'Donnghue, who is Interested in building and loan associations, spr'ke of attending to the welfare of the associations as an important work in the business of everyaav life. The lengue ou?ht to be on guard to prevent hafmful legislation. To keep up the good name of an association would. In time, bring fame to th asrocl-ition. President Johnson then named Messrs. Heaton. of Fort Wayne; Lee, of Anderson; Overholsen. of Elkhart; Henry, of New Albany; Royse, of Terre Haute, and Welch and Bookwalter, of this city, as a nominating committee to select names for the league officers for the coming year. While the committee was in session, it was ordered by the association that $50 be allowel President Johnson as part payment for his expenses In hi3 work during the last Legislature in attempting to secure (favorable legislation for the associations. It wrs also decided to have circulars sent out by the secretary to the different associations not belonging to the league to attempt to induce them to join the league. The nominating committee offered the following names for leajrue officers: President J. P. Johnson, of Kokomo. First Vice President T. 1?. Orr, of Anderson. Second Vice President D. N. Foster, of For: Wayne. Secretary A. L. Cuthell, of Winchester. Treasurer A. A. Young, of this city. President Johnson regretfully declined to serve another term and the committee then nominated Charles N. Thompson, of this city, for president The ticket was elected unanimously. The United States League of Building and Loan Associations will hold Us annual

meeting in Buffalo, in July, and the following members were elected as delegates: S. B. Morris, of Shelby ville; Judge R. W. McBride, of this city; I. C. Royse, of Terre Haute; George W. Pixley, of Fort Wayne; A. L Gutheil, of Winchester; Prof D. N. Hammond, of New Albany, and President 1 Thompson, of this city. The following alternate delegates were chosen: Charles Ewing, of Anderson; Dr. J. N. Morgan, of Kokomo; Charles G. McCarl. of Vincenues; I. I. Spire, of Michigan City: M. H- Mendenhall, of Wabash; J. W. Robb, of Clinton, and George W. Brown, Of this city. The newly-elected officers were then installed, after whiclx the meeting adjourned. A HAXQUET TO DELEGATES. Retiring President Johnson Entertains at the Rates. A number of the members of the associatlcn participated in a banquet at the Bat?3 last evening, given by the retiring president, James P. Johnson, of Kokomo. Ths following members and representatives of a similar association in Ohio were at tne tatie: President C. N. Thompson, of Indianapolis; ex-President Johnson, Kokomo; Judge I. II. C. Royse, Terre Haute; C. E. Rhodes, Fort Wayne; Dr. C. G. Weiss, G. W. Brown, S. D. La Fuge, C. E. Merrifield, W. A. Bristor, Indianapolis; J. I. Spiro, Michigan City; F. W. McCane, Pay ton, O ; George Piau, Capt. A. J. Howard, Jefferson ville: Henry S. Rosenthal, Cincinnati. O.; Ed word Gilbert, R. C. Xe!s?y, Indianapolis; Owen N. Heaton, George W. :- ley, Fort Wayne; C. A. Bookwalter, lndianaiolls; J. Oberholtzer, Elkhart; E. G. Henry, New Albany; A. L. Gutheil, Winchester; E. L Miller, Peru; J. W. Robb, Clinton; John Corcoran, Grcnf)eld; C. J. Oaskell, South Bend; Frank R. Woolley, Bloomingion; C. B. Irvln, Hushville; Al. H. Menuenhall, Wabash. The loan branch of the league was not doing business at the banquet, but the building end of the association was never more active. After the coffee had been served President Thompson called upon C. A. Bookwalter to speak for the absent members, which he did in a bright speech, in which he intimated that absenteeism proved the old adage that men frequently failtd to appreciate what was best for them. F. W. McCane was next called upon to explain the "Dayton plan" of management, which he did in a manner which wa3 appreciated by the company. The president next called uion Mr. Rosenthal, editor of a co-operation journal in Cincinnati, who read a paper in which the importance of education was set forth in connection with the general prosperity of the country and of building associations In particular. The president paid a graceful compliment to the Journal as the effective attorney of the league, and called uion Z. A. Smith to convince the members of the league that each of them was a home missionary. Owen N- Heaton told of the work that the loan and building association had dbne. and was doing in Fort Wayne. The you;ig man who is not a shareholder, he said, was not in favor among the young ladies. Judge Royse said that hundreds of people who had saved money and built homes by the associations were able to tide over the hard times without assistance. Mr. Johnson, of Kokomo, said that when towns are mentioned in Indiana Kokomo must be In the front row. It was a great town. It had convicted its Mayor of stealing flour. It had sent a man to the penitentiary seven years for stealing a pair of boots and another three years for looting a county treasury of $G0,000. The speaking over, the company adjourned to the parlor to smoke and chat for an hour. A YOUNG BRIDE DESERTED.

Charles Hilliard, a Man with Peculiar Joints, Leaves Ilis Wife. A young woman from Cincinnati called at the police station yesterday and asked for assistance in reaching her home. The police could not furnish her with transportation, but Matron Buchanan offered her a place until she could communicate with her relatives. She said that she wedded Charles E. Hilliard on Monday, at Covington, Ky., and that they both came directly here, stopping at the Palace Hotel. Hilliard had an engagement to appear at one of the medical colleges yesterday morning, but failed to do so. and it Is reported he left for Louisville. He is a man of peculiar physique, having the power to dislocate his joints. He has been traveling about the country, exhibiting himself at medical colleges.
