The several stockbolders in the league are jubi- lant over the prospects, for in the outcome of the action against Mr. Si-|+* mons they see perhaps a part return for the mouey they invested. Connected with the suit is an insin- uation that Mr. Simons has destroyed the bond which he gave on taking the presidency of the league. Mr, Si- mons denies this. He says that it was given into Dr. Winton’s hands at Washington, Ind., and that since then he has heard nothing of it. Mr. Simons thinks that nothing will come of the suit.
