AN nJUNorIoH GRANTED AGAINST IT.
TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 8.
The Vice Chancellor delivered his opinion, this
morning, in the bill praying for an injunction
against the National railway Co. and other roads
bonded by the Pennsylvania Railroad. He de-
cides that the roads had no right, under their
charters, to construct 3 through road, and to use
them for that purpose was fraud. He ruled
for complainants on every point, and granted
injunctions against the National Railroad.

The Platter Trial.

PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL AT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
pRocEEDINGs-TEsT1MoNY FOR THE PRosECU-
TIoN-soME DAMAGING DEVELOPMENTS AGAINST
THE ACCUSED.
A special despatch to the Baltimore American,
thus summarizes the evidence for the prosscu-
tion in the Platter Murder Trial, now in progress
in the circuit Court for Dorchester county, sit
ting at Cambridge NJ. O. Jackson was the first
Witness and his scross-examinatlon, which was
very long brought out all the details of Plater's
desertion OF his wife, and of Jackson's endeaver
to recover from him the cost OF her maintenance.
Hinson Kirby Sr., and Robert T. Young, testi-
fed as to the particulars of the fndiug OF the
dead body of the woman by the hre N the neld
where she died.
Susan Wilson testified that she VA he'd and
arranged the body for the grave. found
upon it bruises from the shoulder to 10 knees.
There were severe bruises upon the Eg groin,
which looked as If they might have p IN pro-
duced by kicks. The flesh on the ses was
raw.
Charles A. Bryan, who was hired to Platter as
laborer at the tins Of the death of Mrs. Platter,
testified at great length concerning the brutal
treatment Of his wife by Platter, and Of the harsh
language which he used towards her. Platter al
ways slept in a room with colored woman
named Rebecca Cornish, and Mrs. Platter occu-
pied another room. On the evening previous to
the finding of the dead body, Platter took all the
clothing and food that was in his Own house to
that OF the witness, and extinRuished the fire,
leaving the unfortunate wife alone in the cold
an desolate house. Later IN the night,
the witness and Platter returned to the lAtter's
house and saw light there. Platter went into
the house and the witness went away. After
wards he went ack again, and found that the
fire was out and Mrs. Platter gone. Soon after
he saw her lying on the ground by the side of q
FIRE. He told Platter this, aud he replied, Let
her lay there" She lay out all night, and WAS
dead in the morning. This concluded the evil
dence and the Court adjourned until tomorrow
as weighing very heavily against Platter. The
counsel for the defence put him through very
lengthy aud severe cross-examination to endeav.
or to break down his evidence, but he persisted
in his statements, and no flaw could be found in
them The Court is holding sessions morning
and evening to get through with the case.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-

ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
Lieved were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy it Is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs
the forerunners OF more serious disease, it saves
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
yinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep 1t on hand as a protection against the carly
and unperceived attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable and too often fatal II neglected. len
der lungs need this defence; and 1t is unwise to
be without 1t. As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest OF Childhood CHERRY PICTORIAL
Is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
titudes are rescued from premature graves, ana
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and Misunderstanding sleep. No
ono will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues 1t has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest 1t has ever effected.

buried in the lapse Of time and one can scarcely
believe, amid the turmoil of worldly strife, they
were ever children. With us, in this Western

Work, toll, and struggle jostling each other in
the walks of life, all seem intent on only one

never again would / dare become Il
mother
A deep blush mantled her face and
he paused. l thought here was the
time to advise and restore harmony to
the distressed family. / said reproach,
fully to her: "You appear only to
think of yourself, Frau Thomas. DO
you not suppose your husband has also
suffered all these years the same as
yourself?' She looked at me astonished,
and, rather abashed, replied
"Of course he was miserable to see
me so, but, as he could not help me, he
let me alone"
"Now, Fran Thomas. we have the
secret, and that is where you have been
unjust, and wronged your husband.
You daily exhibited regret that his life
had been saved at SO great a sacrifice to
yourself. It left him in more uncer-
tainty regarding Your love for him, and
can you blame him if he did not think
his life too dearly bought? 1t was
noble in him not to feproach you for
saving ms life at the C st of the one
dearer to you. Is it not so, Thomas 2"
Truly, you have read my feelings
better than I could have explained
them. Frequently my heart seemed
ready to break when I realized what
you have said, but / conld not blame
her, when she had done SO much for
me-"
The woman's face was a study. En-
barrassment, regret, perplexity, all APP
peared, until for very shame she cast
herself on her husbands breast, beg
ging his pardon.
1t was his turn to be embarrassed
now, and it was really touching to see
the man act as if he had done some
thing very foolish.

happiness, and SO it proved. In time,

tried mothers heart, but never again
