Judge Walker, of fae MariOn-coonty Superior Oeurt, to-day tendered an opinion of thirty-niAi typewritten pages in the somewhat famons suit of Moses Bradford against tbs Frailkfort, St Louis A Toledo Raiirosa Company and ofaera The opinion was oa a bill in equity, praying for a dissolution of a oonsolidatioo of oestain railroads attempted to be made February 11,1663. The ease was brought in fae Qrant-coan^ eonrt and whs heard there by Judge Walkm*. The opinkm was rendered here for ooBvenience sake. The foots ia tbe ease are exceptionally involved. In brief‘they are as follow: In April, 18?6, fae Frankfort, St. Louis A Toledo BaUsoad Company, the Kokomo A Delphos BaUroad Companv and the Monon A Ottawa Railroad Company filed articles of eonsoliaatiou nnder the' name of the Frankfort, St, Lous A Toledo Rallfoad Company, one of the defendants and erosscompiaibants in fae suit In May, 1879, the Toledo A Manmae Bailroad Companv, the Tbledo, Delphos A Indianapolis Kaiiroad Company, fae Delphos A Kokomo Railroad Cfompany and fae Delphos, Burlington A Franlcfurt BaUroad Company filed articles ol consolidation under the name of, the Toledo, Delphos A Burlington Bailroad Company. zVt the time of the consolidation aforesaid, in April, 1878, under tbe name of the defeudants the Frankfort, St Louis A Toledo Railroad Company, that road was not constructed, but existed only in name; and in March, 1680, entered into a contract with H. B. Low A Co., to construct lor it forty-two miles of railroad between Warren, in Uuntington county, and Kokomo. The eontract was entered into by tbe board of directors of the road, then consisting of thirteen mambeni. The phiintifi' in the eaid road, a stockboider end member of the board of directere, and joined iu the execution of the contract by the terms of which the contractors were to have oil the stock of the company, except such amonnt as represented the aiu voted by the counties and townships along fae line of the road, and $264,000 of the free mortgage bonds, and alto tbe voted amount and certain assets, aggregating about $145,OpO. After work had begun on tbe rond it was agreed that the contractors would procure the directors of tbe Frankfort, St. Louis A Toledo Railroad Company, one by one, to resign, and that they would procure the election of a board of directors for fae St. Louis A Toledo Railroad Company that w,ou]d be designated by the Toledo, Delphos a' Burlington Railroad Company, through its-officers. Under this coutraet the road was so far completed by the Toledo, Delphos A Burlington company that in Decembet, 18S0, cars were run over it from Warren to Kokomo. Tl^ claim was that this contract was not known to the Frankfort, St Louts A Toledo Railroad Company or its» officers, tpid that a company was then formed to despoil and get g ossesaion of. the road for the Toledo, lelphos A Burlington company, and that tbe consolidation thereafter attempted to be made was the result of thC eonspiracy on the part of the contractors of the Frankfort, St. Louis A Tolsdo company, and the officers and board 6f directors of the Toledo, Delphos A Burlington epajpany. It was oharged that, iti furtherance of this Irandnlent design, on May 11, 1881, a meeting of the stockholders of the Frankfort, St. Lonis A Toledo company was called at the osual place of meeting at Marion, and at that meeting, by a vote af fae Biajority of the istock, the number of directors was reduced from thirteen to fiv€. It is averred that this meeting was dn ilfegal one, for th# reason ttiat due and ]e.gal notice wae not given of the meeting, br the intention to consider fae propriety of redneing the Banbcr of directors Afterward, at a meeting-of fae stoukbelders, in February, 1882, twe-fairds of fae stock wax voted in favor of the consolidation. It ia also claimed that tbit meeting was an illegal one, A further claim is made that the cousotidMties could not have been legally consummated, for fae reason that it was not authorised byfow. The plaiDtiff sued os a stockholder to have fae eunsolidstion dissolved. In bis opinion Judge Walker fonnd for both fae plaintiff and defendant He held that the transaction wbieh reenlted in the eontract with Low A Co. was in no way tainted by fraud,' and be oould not see how sneh a oontraot, though improvidentiy made, ean in any Way offset fae validity of tbe articles ef eonsdidation. In reference to the reduetton ol the number of directors, the Judge mid that be hgd some doubt as to the validitr of the law aathorizhig siioh actioi^ but the aet kad remained unquestioned for nearly forty yeiuw; Said he: **The conseqneneei resulting from the overthrow of fati Ilgislatioo, after having been acquieseed in to long, might be so serions to other corporatinns throughout fae Sfote and to the publie that a nisi prius court might well hesitate before taking such aotion." — Taking up fae qnettion of tbf acts of fae board, m directors with reference to this consolidation, the Judge said he wquld dispose of them all in a Brief word, by saying that hk eoaelutloa is that tbe articles of consolidation, if authorized by law. Were defeotive, raid the eoasolidation illegal. But the oontroversy, the Judge said, wm by so amuns terminatea and fae ease decided, even if the eonsoUdation n-as not authorixeU by law, or the consolidation illegal if a oobsolidation could have been made. This was a suit, be said, by a stoekbolder to dissolve a oorpofation, and a suit to compel fae eancelladiou of a lease or other - ultra vires contract leaving' the corporation intaat. but by a stockholders usurping the funetioQS of the State sovereignty whenee the charter cmaBatad, The Judg:s cited muy aufaeritiea against the plaintiff, even if he had not participated in the coii8olidatio%aad voted for It, but had protested arainst it at the t!ms and never consented mrsto. Briefly stated, the dodge's oontlnsion wm that the consolidation was tliegal, aud eould not be Is^ised by a ratiheation; but as tbe plointiff and cross-complaioant(by Its directors and stockholdensj partieipeted In ail fas acts that were perfonued attempting a consolidation, and took no ■tens to arrest the prosecottou ef fae eonsoUdatioB of the eute^ise and acquieseed so long thereia by aubnee, aud until this interest of ofaar parties and . tbe publie in fae eonneoted and eeutiiuiotu line ol tbe road that has been in operatioo ao loag that they will be preelutied from making a suolecesful aitaok on fa# eonsolidatioa at this time; that their attitude is sash toward thy trMsabtioa that a eeuet of equity will remain paaaire and grant ao nllef.

I An Instance of Mlaropneuntatlon In u Very Small Matter. The Journal says relative to the receipt of some American tin by a local firm: Ybese facts were offered to This News, by Pnisell A llsdaker. but that organ of Democracy would not publish them. If tlie Jouraal hai ewd “ ‘did not’ publish them" it would have told the Irath; saying “would not," it told a falsehood. The item referred to was girtn to The News Monday. It was written and sent in for publication. It was put in type,as follows: Pursell A Medsker, of 114 North Delaware street, have received a consignment of Ameri-can-made tin. Elr. PDrsell said this alternoon that it equals in quality any tin that was brought across the water. At present tbe pnee is the same as the for-elgn-msde article. Its quality is known in tbe trade M “double oid-atrie.” The consignment comes Imm N. Q. Taylor A Go., PhiladelphiA It waa entitled, “American Made Tin.”, By a mistake of the compositor this was act up as a “guidt line" instead of a “title," and thus it was held to be added, as snppoted, to anoriier article on the aame topic. The fact of its failure to appear was not yet discovered, as it would have been in rime. The firm in question could have facilitated tbe discovery by notifying thh fact to The News, instead of running to the Journal and involving both it aud them in misrepreseDtation.

The private stablaof IndianapoHs have been luakiag a desperate effort to tombla into ashes to-day. Between 7 and 11 o'clock tins forenoon almost the entire force of the fire department waa engaged in fighting stable fireo. Tbe first alarm was turned in at box 615, on Fletcher avepue, where a shed on the property of John Iforris, No. 71, bad mysterioosly eanght firs. Tho shed, worth perhaps $20, was destroyed, aad the flamea fanned by the brisk breeze spread to the stable on tbe premises of J. M. Hufier, No. (ffi Fletcher avenue. Tbe stable, worth ; $400^ was destroyed, anu then tbe fire j jumped over to a shed on the premises of Charles Sedgwick, No, 67 Fletcher avenae, and destroyed it, involving a loss of $20. Then the fire crossed tbe alley to fae stable shed on the lot of William 'Jones, No. 116 Huron street, aud did $10 of damage. From that shed tbs fire went to fae j stable of £. Staley No. 120 Huron street, and destroyed it. The stable waa estimated to be worth $2.50. From Mr. Stalev’s stable the fire comniQiiicated to fae stable on the property of William Smith, Nos. 124 and 126 Fletcher, avenue, and damaged the ilructare to the amount of $100. Here the firemen sueoeeded in getting the fire' nuder contrSL The fire spread from one stable to another with great rnpiditv, and over half the stables were on fire when the department got fairly to work. The firemen*were not all home from the above fir# when an al.irm was turned iu frc«n box 482, celling for help at No. 616 East Nififa street, where tbe stable on tbe property of Charles Oilleman had been set on lire,'evidently by an incendiary. The structure, worth $360, was destroyed, and the fire jumped over to the stable'sbed on the property of Charles Holbern, No. 333 Yandes str^. The shed, worth perhaps $20, was destroyed, bnt the fire, like the surlier one. oa the South Side, was not easily satisfied. It spread to a shed on tbe nroperty of Wiliiani Coburn, No. 325 Yapdes street, and* did twenty-five dollars’ damage. Aeain the firemen were called npon before they trot hontc. This time by an alarm from Box 79, caused by fire in a small shed on fae property of Mrs. Bpoouer, No. A5 Spann avenue. The shed was set on fire, it is thought, by boya Tbe shed had been destroyed before tbe department reached the scene, and a stable on the nremises of Ernest Gwyer, No. 33 Spann avenae, partially destroyed. The loss on the -stable was $125. From this stable the fire went over to a stable on the property of John Martin, No. 217 Fletelier avenue, and destroyed it at a loss of $^. Still nncontrolied, fae fire eommonicated to a shed, worth $10, on the premises of Thomas Ri>ney, No. 268 Fletcher avenue, and then to a stable on the property of J. W. Perkins, No. 272 Fletcher avenue,'which was damaged $25. Here the firemen conJ iuered in their third hard battle ot the orenoon. The majority of the losses are covered, in part, by insurance. The three fires made up one of tbe most trying ordealx-tbe department has gone through for many a day. With the thermometer marking 90° in the shade, and a brisk breeze blowing, fae department worked against many odds. The runs too, were long and over exceedingly rough streets. Many of tbe firdkien were almost exhausted * from heat when they returned from the third fire. IBVINQTON’S DAILY “BLAaTS.”

A Calliope That is Always With the finborb—An AnnoyanooThe five or six streets orossed by the Pennsylvania line also cross the Cincianari, Hamilton & Dayton in Irvington only a few hividred feet south. These two roads run parallel for a distance out from the city, diverging a little way west of Butler University, leaving this college midway between these two roads. Ti^e Christian church holds its services in fae college chapel, and tbe sermon is generally ffisturbed bv fae whistling trains whicn pOss through on either toad. There are twelve trams each* way over the Pennsylvania line, in twenty-four hoars, and quite as many on fae Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton. This would give a train every half hour, day and night, on an avtrage, or forty-eierht trains in twenty-four hours, and no less on Sunday, except fae losals, while many timu there are extra excursions on Sundav, especially to Blue River Park. Four blasts to each of tbe forty-eight gives 2,68$ blasts in twentv-foar hours, leaving out fae prolonged blasts for stations, of which there arc two. not counting tbe stopping places on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & D^ton just sObth of the college. The two Stations would only give nieetysix proloBgefl whistles in twaoty-four hoBrs—bardly worth mentionina. This would certainly be enough to endure if these blasts were made as short ms necessary, but fae engioeers made life miserable a year or two ago by fao manner In which they manipnlab^ the whittles. Tbe wfalatles on the freights have a tone that might receive fae appellation of soprano, while bass would better deseribe tbe tone of tha whistles oa the passengers or express, and each engineer soemeo to know the full capacities ol fae one he managed, and some of them were certainly very expressive. The manipulators of the freigfate would give two very long blasts and two shorter ones, and fae tones were so modulated , that there was really no cessation, bnt only a lowering of the tone to distinguish fae intervals, tomafai^ like this: Wee #♦■ ce ee-ee-oo-oo-oe-ou WM-ee-ee-ew ae-od-eo-oo-oo-wee-oo-oo-wee-ee-oo-oo. They usually put in all fae tinie between erowings and were only just done soaoding for one crossing when faey had to begin for another. This waa musioiu, however, compared to the exprsraea Their eoarse bellowing was gotten off fo every conceivable way test only an engineer understands. One can compare it to nothing but tome hideout monster pursuing another or being pursued. Maoy times there is a train ou each road at the same time, so Irviogtontaai get a doubla float.

Never

Questioned.

The |uperior purity, strength and wholi* someness of Royal Baking Powder it never questioned.

'While other baking powder makers are exposing the impurities and shortcomings of the powd^s of their competitors, and the ofificial tests by the

Government are revealing the iniproper ingredients, the low strength, and lack of keeping qualities of other brands of baking powder, no question is raised, no doubt is entertained of tho great qualities, the absolute purity ^nd efficiency of the Royal Baking Powder. . It stands alone,

above suspicion.

Do not permit the grocer Or peddler to substitute any other brand in place of the Royal.
