of the Southern Uailroad company s.

Inxolvcd an Indebtedness coutraeted bv

the f'.sinesle company tor two pin
chasi .s f)f steel mils made by the i.ill
load company within a year pi lor to
the appointment of a leeeUer of the
Danville company. The Carnegie com
pany asseited that this condition of
nff.ilis wive it an equitable Hen and :t
prefeience over the muttwiKu ciedlt
ots, because the Indebtedness was con
tracted in tho operation of tho loul
and was thcicfore a part of Us run
nini; expenses. The Tnlted States Cir
cuit eouit of appeals accepted this lew
of the case, and Justice Hai Inn's opin
ion sustains that view. uflirmliiK the
cleciee of the lower couit.
In the other case, that of the I.ieka
wvnna Iron and Coal company s th"
Kaimers' Loan and Trust company, an
opposite conclusion was leached and In
this Instance the contention of thy
Lackawatinu compiuv was sustained,
as the contract contains no pronil--e to
pay out of any p.ut of the fund, and
because sevei.il e.ils had elapsed be
tween the election of the debt and the
appointment ot a loceiver.nnd for other
leasons not bilnKhiK it within the iiile
