EACH JUDGE IIAS HIS MEWS
Three Lengthy Opinions on the Privi
leges of Strccl-ilaihvay Companies.
Jnde Taylor Sastains the Citizens' Company's
Plea for an Injunction, tut Judges Walker
and IIoe Dient Other Court Hatters.
The three judges in the Superior Court,
sitting in general terra, rendered separate
decisions yesterday in the injunction suit
of the. Citizens' Street-railroad Company
against the Indianapolis Cable Company.
The point at issue "was the right of the
Cable company to use the streets of the
city, the Citizens company claiming
that ita franchise . "would prevent
the exercise of any such right.
Judge Taylor's opinion coTered thirty -pages
of closely written legal cap, and cov
ered the question in all of its details. In
general he ruled for tho plaintiffs in the
case. He said there is no compulsion on
the Common Council to give its consent to
the occupancy and use of the streets of the
city by any particular street-railroad com
pany. In this particular it has the fullest
discretion; it can deny the privilege to any
company or exclude all companies. 13nt if
it concludes to give its con
sent, the Legislature has vested it
with full power to dictate the terms or con
ditions of that consent, limited only by the
object and purpose of the act creating such
company, and the restrictions there stated,
ontaide of which such company has no
power, and the Common Council no au
thority to give itn cousent. If those terms
have not been advantageous to the city in
the past, or should not be beneficialiu the
future, both in the service rendered to tho
public and in the matter of revenue to tho
municipality, tho fault has been aud will
continue i to bo in the Common Council.
The Common Council being clothed with
that power, there does not seem to me to be
any escape from the conclusion that it
could make any contract in the premises
that it deems for the best interest
of the municipality; ana it may
contract by ordinance as well as
by formal articles of aireenient.
"In theorigmal ordinance "the J ud ere aid-
"the rights and interests of the municipal
ity appear to have been securely provided
for aud guarded in every important par
ticular, which would soon be verified if
they were properly enforced by the proper
municipal authorities.- lint the city gets
no revenue for the privileges, except the
taxes assessed upon the property of the
company, and the company gets the faro
penmucu uy lue orumance as its compen
sation for its expenditure of money in
constructing, equipping and operating its
roaa."
Judge Walker neld that the Cable com
pany has a legal existence, and that the
city nas a right to grant it a franchise. lie
-further held that the city could, by or
dinance, decide npou what portion of the
street a company should lay its tracks.
The city charter contains no power, con
ferred by tho Legislature," he said, "to
grant exclusive franchises, and, therefore, it
Lad no authority to grant any
exclusive privileges to tho plaintitf
to operate street railroads within
tho limits ofthe city, and tho city is with
out rower to contract away its continuous
control overt ho streets, or itsjfutnre judg
ment of the needs of the public in the street.
Its power andduty in relation thereto, not
only in the present, but the fnture, are so
allied that tho city is so reitricted in the
exercise of the power given it as not to
, divest itself of the duty it may owe to the
Eublic in the future. The city therefore
ad full power to grant a license to the de
fendant to operate a. street railroad
upon any or all of its streets.
If the grant was to both roads alike in gen
eial terms, without any specific location to
either upon any portion of the street, then
the one tirst, in point of time, that actually
commenced taking possession of a given
street or portion of the same would con
tinue thereon, to the exclusion of the other.
The defendant may, therefore, use the
same streets in suit with the plaintiff for
Uy ing its track and operating & 6treet rail
xoad, but must so use its privileges as not
to defeat the plaintiffs right, to do tho
same." '
Judge Howe, in the main, agreed with
Judge Walker. He differed with him on
the point concerniug the right to both com-
TU?ltj fk thrt nlininiv r f miiliH. eP
the street. He favored the granting of an
injunction in favor of the citizens' com-
pany as to tue Ajanama-street route, ex
cept the portion south of Circle street. As
to the latter he held that neither company
has acquired priority, and neither is en
titled to an injuction against the other.
"It is clear, I think," he said, "that the
iuiu uan uuk auiuuiucu UIO tllj It)
confer any such exclusive right unon the
plaintiff. It is true the General Assembly
Las given tho municipal legislature the ex
clusive control over the streets of the city.
This we all concede; but this concession is
far from proving that the General Assem
bly has authorized the city legislature to
surrender such control to somo other cor
poration or person. Even a private agent

other corporation or person powers which
the Legislature intended that it should re

tne public. What the city legis
lature should do would be to pass
an ordinancr requiring every street-railway
company, be fore laying any tracks in the
streets, to file a description, or plat, of the

never had. any easement or absolute title,
interest or right of any kind in the center
of the unoccupied streets. It was granted
merely a license to ue the center of them.
It now claims that, in some mys
terious way, this license has been
turned into an absolute riant by the mere
fact that the city has since givea tho de
fendant the rijiht to lay its tracks auj'
where on the streets, and that until the ex
piration of tho plaintiffs charter the center
of all tho unoccupied streets must be
sacredly preserved for it until it gets ready
to rto them, although it may never get
redy to use them at all."
The case will be carried to tho Supreme
Court at once.
Not Compelled to Use the Books.
Judge Frazer, of Warsaw, has delivered
a lengthy opinion on the school-book law.
Mr. Blue, a citizen and patron of one of the
common schools in Seward township,
brought a mandate against Mr. Snoke, the
trustee, to compel him to sell to the relator,
certain of the Indiana school-books for his
children; to be used in the common schools
they attended in the township. The trus
tee, by the-fifth paragraph of his answer,
alleged that other school text-books than
the Indiana series were in use and in full
supply in the schools of Seward township,
which book" he said were as good at least
parents and people of that .town
ship ..did' '.not desire the other
books put out and tho Indiana
books put in. Judge Frazer held that this
was a good answer; that there was no law
which could compel a township trustee to
use the "Indiana books" if he and the
patrons of the schools did not desire to do
so. In construing the school-book law of
lSMObe says: It is not expressly required
that tbeM) Indiana books shall be exclu
sively used in the schools, nor cau that
rMj!iirri:u nt be fairly implied. It is one
thr.;:' to secure good books at low prices,
n:iil quite a different thing to compel' their
exclusive uso in the schools." The Indiana
fccliool-book Company caused itself f o be
made a party to the suit, and the case was
argued by its own lawyers. Jndge Frazer's
opinion will be giveu in full in to-morrow's
issue of the JouruaL
Grand Jury Iteport.

The Lecture Courses.
Nye and Kiley will give tho fourth enter
tainment in the Indi;;napols lecture conrse,
at Plymouth Church." on next Wednesday
evening. Theso two gentlemen are well
known here, and there is no likelihood
that the record will be broken of giving
them a house full to overflowing. The
story that Mr. Nye has been sick or intend
ed to be sick, is without any foundation.
Frederick Villiers, the war correspondent
and artist of the London Graphic, will, in
the Y. M. C. A. course, appear Tuesdnv
evening with a lecture, in which he will
illustrate the war scenes with his inimita
blo crayon sketches. This is Mr. Villiers's
first appearance on the American platform,
but he is preceded by a reputation as an
artist, and much is expected in the way of
an instructive and enjoyable entertain
ment. A Marine View.
Ambrose MacNell, R. S. A., a Scottish
marine painter of some note, Is in the city
with one of his best productions, represent
ing a sunset on the west coast of Argyll
shire, Scotland. It is a region celebrated
in history and song, not only for its wild
and picturesque natural beanty.but'for the
numberless struggles in olden times be
tween chiefs and kings. The painting is a
tine delineation of bold clirls of basaltic
rock standing out in relief on the right
foreground. In tho middle distance a rug
eed outline reaches out well to seaward,
softened and glinted by the warm tones
of sunset. The sky is effective in color and
effect, and the water ietlecting its tints
completes a noticeable comprehension of
detail. One of the most pleasing effects is
the soft yet strong wake ofthe sun across
tho 6ea, tipping tho changeful and broken
waves with golden sheen. The picture is
painted in that vigorous 6tyle peculiar to
the Scottish school. Invitations for a pri
vate view are to be issued some time this
week.

AN EX-CONFEDERATE'S LUCK.
He Didn't Believe in It, but He Found a Fort-
una in a Tin Box.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Record.
My ex-confederate fricud. the captor of
the Koauoko, sat smoking in my room, the
other evening, and had been speaking of
our mutual friend. Dr. W.' G. M. Whistler,
of London, (brother of the famous artist of
that name), who had studied Greek at
Trinity, medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania, surgery in tbe confederate
army, and is now making a fortune at his
profession in London; nnd then he turned
and asked if ho had ever told mo the
strange story of Dr. Belvin, of Paris. Here
it is: Helviu, when he first met him, was an
assistant surgeon on one of the confed
erate gun-boats in the James river.' At the
close of the warf having nothing in his
pocket and nothing to do, he fell in love
with a pretty girl in Virginia, who had a
few hundred dollars, married her, bought
an old ambulance and a mule, and settled
down in a ruinous little cottage, which he
also purchased for a song. Attending ne
groes and poor whites for fees of corn and
bacon made life a slow torture for him. To
add to it all, his roof leaked, and what is
love under a roof that lets in rain? Having
little money and plentyof time, hemonnted
the roof to repair the shingles, and there,
hidden away, he found a tin box, which he
brought down nnd discovered to contain a
number of railroad bonds. Not being a
believer in luck, and thinking they
were probably superannuated, he waited
until ho had occasion to go to lUchmond,
and then, with a feeling that he was a fool
for his pains. h took them to a broker's.
They told him that the bonds were all
right, and if he would return in nu hour
they would tell him their value." JIe re
turned home a happy man, sold the rest of
his bonds, took hteamer to London, mi
grated to Paris, and there setuphisshingle.
His luck had turned. Practice llowed in
upon him and wealth with it. He was
made official physician of one of the citv
arroudissements, aud was decorated with
the ribbon of tho Legion of Honor. The
tin box has proved a trump card to the poor
country doctor, and he is prepared to-day
to take his affidavit that the period of ro
mance in real life is not yet ended.

The Dear Little Creature Who Openly Adores
Her ITusband. -New
York Evening Sun.
Of all the men in the world perhaps the
one the most to be pitied is the newly-married
one whose brido is in love witn him,
not in the shy, clandestine way that makes
her the sweetest creature and him the hap
piest man this side of heaven, but in
the whole-hearted, absorbed, spontane
ous kind of way that casts itself to
the four winds of heaven, and is as
reckless of comment as the solar system.
There is one dear little creature whose ad
miration for her husband so pervades her
mental atmosphere that she measures
everything in life in units of John. beis
a remarkably bright little woman, but she
6eems utterly incapable of a mental opera
tion whose middle term is not represented
by John. "My 'new rooms are ten feet
high," she says, "that is just four feet
higher than John. I shall need curtains
three Jards long for my windows."
"We were in Mexico on our wedding
trip," she further narrates, with the en
thusiasm that characterizes all she says
and does, "and I learned to ride. HI rode
the dearest little broncho von ever saw a
wee little fellow. He was just half as high
as John, and didn't weigh much more. And
in Chicago, on our way home, we went to
Barnum's circus. We saw Jumbo such a
Eonderous big mountain of meat. Why,
6 weighs tons and tons more
than John and is three times
as tall, I am sure. And John you
know just how dear, and sweet, and kind
he alwavs is" (one catches one's breath at
this) "bought me the most delicious red
toa-gown in Chicago that yon ever saw. A
red gown is not very becoming to me, you
know, but it makes John look like a Span
ish cavalier when I wear it and sit beside
him, I mean." .
And so on. while tho adVrtivespile np till
they fall over by their own weight, like the
tail houses tho children build. It is a su
preme delight to the little bride, and cer
tainly very pleasing to an audience, but
one sometimes wonders what John would
say if he could only hear it.

for my breath. Then my" limbs and fac
would begin to pnlt up. mv e3elids would
almost close, and my limbs and feet wouM
get so large I could not put mv shoes on. I ,
was nervous and restless, could neither
SLEEP NOK KAT,
and my efforts would only increase ra.v
sutlering. My memory was .bad, and
found that 1 could not concentrate my
thoughts for any buigth of time on anr
subject; and I had mado up ray mind that
was si physical wreck, aud had about con
cluded it, was no use to try any longer,
lint through the solicitation of an intimate
friend I was induced to try the lllatr Treat
ment, and with but little hope, I consented.
The doctor was kind enough to come to t.ee
me at tirst. as it was impossible for me to
get to his otlice, and my feet and ltmbs weio
swelled so
l COULD NOT WALK.
"He seemed to take in the situation iu tb .
flash, nnd 6truck at the fountain head, for
in one week my face and limbs and feet re
turned to their natural size and conditiou.
and I began to get well immediately. Only
those who have felt that they were siclcj
unto death' can realizo how I felt aud whafe
the relief to me is. I am well and happr
again, and I believe it is permanent, for t :
have watched three months fearing a re
turn, nnd I would not consent to make a:
statement until 1 was thoroughly convinced,'
that I was entirely cured." A
