Applying the rule as abovo laid dov.n. JuMice Dixon discusses the nctual value of the lrop-rty. the purchase of which is contemplated by tho Juo of f oo of r-fpfh.

While thr defendants claimed the compain uits had not borne tho burden of proof cast upon them. Justice Dixon holds that under tho circumstance this rule should riot bo rigorously enforced at this stage. The proofs. Jutici Dixon pay?, point ttrongly to the conclusion that In the negotions between the parties the real value d' the propet ty to be acquired had not boon the basis upon which they have determined tho amount of stock to be Issued therefor. The fact that tho expected consummation of tho deal cau-od the. market value of the stock to rise, and which was used a an argument that the proposed purchase would not bo advantageous to the stockholder.-; Justice Ixori Und. to be without weight. He says that if the intrinsic value of tho stock was only .'( per Cent, of Its face and an outsider offered jV per cent, in money for additional stock to ue issuer!, such an offer would clearly be-advantageous to the company and its stockholders, but It could not legally be accented because the legislature has required that 10) per cent, whether In cash or In property shall be received for coporate etoek. Tho court finds that the mere fact that two thirds of the directors and stockholders voted for -no purchase cannot prevent review, pointing out that this would not justify an issue of stock for an Ultimate enterprise. In accordance with these vlev.s the court orders that the stay be continued enjoining the purchase, and that proce. -lings to incrent-e the stock should likewise remain in statuo quo pending final argument and a decision by tne Court of Chancery ns.to the real value of the Guggenheim pro;- rty.

It is also used in the manu- ' f acture of various kinds of articles wnicn require glass of a high quality. Dredging Companies Mny Combine. CHICAGO. April S. There is a movement on foot to consolidate the dredging companies on the great lakes. J. A. Smith, of the Smith Dredging Company of Cleveland, is ostensibly the projector, but it i-J said he Is acting pimply as the agent of a group of capitalists. Smith has already jecured options for the purchase of tho three principal dredging companies of Chicago the Lydon He Drew Company, the Fitzsimmon.H Sc Connell Company and tlu Haush & Lutz Company. He is nlso.said to have made propositions to purcha?e twenty-five or thirty other companies doing business in the principal lake ports. The object of the proposed consolidation is understood to be the abolition of the keen competition which for several years has, it is alleged, made the dredging buslnesj unprotitable. President Lydon, of the Lydon & Drew Company, said to-night: "An option for tne purchase of our plant was recently granted to a Cleveland man who is behind the deal. I understand he has secured similar options on all large plants on t lie great lakes. The idea is a feasible one and is really desirable In view of the conditions existing just now. I am told the combination will have a capital stock of $H.tOU.Ouu." Ketnil Dry Good. Combination. NFW YORK. April S. The Journal of Commerce will say to-morrow: "It may be stated on authoritjr that the plans to consolidate large retail dry goods companies on which John Clallln has been at work for some time has now been definitely completed and a syndicate has been organized to finance It. J. 1. Morgan & Co. are the head of the syndicate, and will. It is understood, underwrite the issue. The capital stock of the new concern will be about JHo.Ouo.noo, including the common and preferred shares and bonds. "It is reported in dry goods circles that the success of Wanamakcr in coming to New York is attracting the attention of other Philadelphia, and also of Boston interests, who believe they can give New Yorkers points on selling goods'."

Satisfactory progress has been made in the venture, and nearly all the plants wanted for the new company have been optioned by the promoters. CANADIAN HOTEL BURNED. J Guests Forced to Seek .Sufetj- in Their MKlit Clothe. OTTAWA, Ont.. April 9. A serious fire started in the Russell House block at 1 o'clcK-k this morning. It is believed all the guests succeeded m getting out of the hotel. The flames are making rapid headway and it now looks as if the whole square, which includes, besides the hotel, the Russell House Theater and several stores, would be destroyed. The Russell louse is one of the principal hotels in the city, and there were about Lio guests in the building when the fire broke out. Many of them were forced to leave all their belongings behind them and efcape In their night clothing. The Russell Theater is one of the finest plavhouses in Canada and Is a total loss. The "Dtdle of New York" Opera Company played In the theater last night and lost everything in the way of scenery and costumes that had been left In the buildingliolemile DniKlioiiKe Humeri.

CLF.VKLAND, April S.-The Plain Dealer's Washington correspondent says: Lieutenant General Miles ha.s shown unmistakable interest in the case of Kussel H. Harrison, who was discharged on Dec. 1 from the volunteer army. General Miles Is understood to have urged Secretary Root to restore the son of the late President to the volunteer army with the rank of lieutenant colonel. No vacancy in any staff corps of the regular army is open to him, ami if he wishes an appointment in the regidar service the highest rank he could be given would be that of first lieutenant, it is understood, however, that Lieutenant Colonel Harrison wants vindication as much as anything else, and would accept an appointment as a lieutenant colonel of volunteers, with the understanding that he should be mustered out on July 1. No action has been taken in his case and there is. apparently, no disposition on the part of the War Department to do anything for him."

WILL VOTE ON STRIKE M-:V .IKItSKV CCMItAL TltOUIILK RFFFRRFD HACK TO EMPLOYES. Vice lreiI lit "Warren Statement, and Grand Chief Arthur' Comment on the Mutter. NEW YORK, April 8. Neither employers nor employed have made decisive moves in the wage dispute that may terminate with a strike on the Central Railroad of New Jersey. It is expected that the men will confer within the next twenty-four hours and by vote agree on a plan of action. It is difficult to take the measure of the sentiment of the moving army of men that a railway system employs, but as far as it can be sounded on the Central the men seem moved by a spirit of conservatism and to be inclined to refrain from striking until every resource of conference and arbitration has been exhausted. The withdrawal from the city of the chiefs of tho brotherhoods of railway men after an unsuccessful attempt to secure a conference with the officials of the railroad restores the dispute to one directly between the company and its men. Charles II. Warren, vice president of the company, speaking for the railroad, made this statement today: "Tho brotherhood chiefs evidently do not know that it is a custom of railroads to close their general olflces on Saturday afternoon. "We were closed, in usual custom, on Saturday afternoon, and. in addition to that, I was called away by other business. 1 think tinder these circumstances it was somewhat unusual for them to expect me to meet them at the tlm-j named by them. We are prepared to be entirely reasonable about the matter. We want no dispute with our employes and are prepared to pay them the wages paid by other railways in the vicinity. We have told them that we will take any seven railroads they may designate, and, with a Joint committee or a committee which we and they shall name, outside men, make an investigation of the pay of the men employed by them, and ubide by the results of the showing made. We have also asked our men to point out any specific case of treatment that is unfair, ami we will agree to right any injustice that may be shown." Chief Arthur Reply. CLEVELAND. O., April 8. Grand Chief Arthur, of the Rrotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, arrived here from New York to-day. Discussing the interview with Vice President Warren, of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, Mr. Arthur said: "We know all about the central ofllces bein,i closed Saturday afternoon. Our first communication to the otliciaJs of the company, asking lor a conference, was sent on Wednesday last. Replies were received, but the otficials did not agree to hold a conference with us." Mr. Arthur has no authority to order a strike. The matter must first be voted on by the members of the organization.' Whether this will be done Mr. Arthur declined to state. Ttvo-Thlrd Vote Required. WILKESHARRE, Pa.. April 8. It is said to-night that a vote is now in progress among the employes of the Central Railroad of New Jersey as to whether or not a strike shall be ordered. After the vote is taken the result will be submitted to the chief ollicers of the various brotherhoods, who can either sanction the strike or veto it. Two-thirds of the employes must vote in favor of a strike before one can be declared. Out of the 3,oao men In the employ of the Central road it Is said that 2,0) are brotherhood men.

BAD STABBING AFFRhY

IK.IIT l LOU SCIIOLTZ'S SALOON OX WEST WASHINGTON STREET. Patrick. DoiinKhne th Vietini An In. known Man nnel a Woman lnoled. A fight in Louis Seh tltz's saloon at ri'n) West Washington street, last night, between Pa trick Donoghue and an unknown man, may result fatally to Donoghuo. lb: was stabbed twice in the back, the wounds being in a dangerous place, and once in the arm. He was taken to Poland's stable, at 3210 West Washington street, and became unconscious on the way. Dr. Davis was called and Donoghue was revived. He was intoxicated, and said he was a "tough one from wild and woolly Texts, that he had "waded In blood, and spotted and scarred and cut and slashed in all shapes and forms." e resented the efforts of his friends and the doctor, and wanted to light when the City Dispensary ambulance was called and an effort was made to get him into it to be taken to the hospital. The ambulance was driven away without him, and a few minutes later, when the bicycle police arrived, it was found he had been removed to the home of his brother, at 2SVJ West Michigan street. He had before refused to go there. Dr. Hodges was called later, and he found Donoghue in a serious condition and liable to bleed to death from the wounds in the back. No one could be found who would admit knowing anything about the fight, though it was evident they were trying to keep the matter quiet. The police were told several stories. Frank Maurath, the bartender at the saloon, said that the unknown man was in the rear of the saloon with a woman. Patrick Donoghue and his bndher came in and a quarrel ensued. The woman and her companion went away and half an hour later the man returned. Donoghue, then much Intoxicated, was standing Hgainst the bar in the front room. Tiie previous escort of the woman waiked direct to him and bewail slashing with the knife, which he held open in his hand as he entered the door. 1 After about two hours' work the bicycle and district police learned that Donoghue had been quarreling in the afternoon with a man named Charles Johnson, living on West Michigan street, and Johnson was taken to Donoghue's house for Identification. Donoghue declined to make any definite statement and Johnson was taken to police headquarters for further examination. Donoghuo was taken after midnight to St. Vincent's Hospital, then so weak from loss of blood that he could make but little resistance. BLUECOATS AT THE BALL POLICEMEN (JIVE THEIR ANNUAL DA NC 12 AT TOMLINSON HALL. Superintendent Qnlgley and Wife Lead the Grand March Committee In Cliurge, Th second annual ball for the benefit of the pension fund of the Indianapolis police? department was given last night at Tomlinon Hall under the most favorable conditions. The sale of tickets had been unus-ually largo for such an event, the weather was fine and neither too cold nor too warm for full enjoyment of those in attendance. The only unpleasant feature of the affair, if It might be called such, was the crowded condition of the hall. Several times the policemen were obliged to use Washington-street carnival parade tactics to make room for the dancers. The Kalleries were filled and during the grand march the corridor was packed. The grand march started at 9 o'clock, being led by Superintendent of Police James F. Quigley, aecompan ylng hlswlfe. Immediately following them were the captains and sergeants of police and their wives. The number of participants In the march was variously estimated from four hundred to eight hundred couples. The march was exceedingly well managed in the crowded hall and before all hatl got into line the floor was filled and It became necessary to refrain from proceeding further and tho dances were begun. The hall was prettily decorated with painted canvas, American lings, draped two together in the form of a semi-circle and hung at intervals from the walls and balconies. In the center of. the stage was hung a large star studded with flowers and vari-colored electric lights, tiie whole being in imitation of the policeman's badge of authority. On either side of this was hung a large American fiag. Potted plants and palms occupied numerous places of safety, adding to the attractive appearance of the- hall. The music was supplied by Reiser's orchestra, which rendered a miscellaneous short programme before tho march. The programme of dances, consisting of twenty-one numbers, was not finished until a late hour. The ball was in many ways more satisfactory thati the one given a year ago and resulted in Increasing the pension fund soinethlng more than $J.. The exact amount cannot be told for several days, as manv of the officers have not yet made returns on the tickets given out for sale. The committees in charge were: Committee on Arrangements Sergt.
