mPortant Decision Affecting Alleged
infringement of a Patent Railroad Brake,
Also the Bonded Debt of a Municipality.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Supreme court de-
cls.ons: No 48. Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
way company, appellant VS.. Thos. Sayles Ap-
peal from the circuit court Of the United
States for the northern district of Illinois,
This was an action brought by Sayles, present
appellee. for alleged infringement of the latter
patent, granted in 1852 to one Henry Tanner,
ed by Thompson & Bachelor
in l847. The court holds that
the Stevens brake used by the RAILWAY
company is not an infringement of the Tanner
patent now owned by the present appellant.
because when Thompson & Bachelor, Tame, g
1917, at least two other kinds of double brakes
similar IN construction to theirs, We're already
IN use; that the construction and mode of OPP
Grafton of the Stevens brake are altogether so
different from those of the brake owned by the
present appellee that they must be regarded as
independent Inventions. The decree of the
circuit court is therefore reversed with costs,
and the case remanded, with directions to en-
ter a decree dismissing the bill of complaint

hrmed with costs and interests
No. 50. City of Nauvoo, plaintiff in error,
against Geo. A. Ritter. in error, to the circuit
court of the United States for the Southern
district OF Illinois. The question in the case
is whether a city which has bonded itself in
order to make subscription to the capital stock
OF railroad, can decline to pay matured cou-
pOnS OF bonds fba
ground that the latter had been
issued without a previous submission of
the question to the people in general election.
The court holds that the recital on the face of
the bonds and printed on their hacks, that the
election required by law was duly held is suf
hclent IN the hands of an innocent holder to
stop the municipality from offering to show
that there really was no such election. Judn-
ment of the lower court is affirmed with costs
and interest

Mr.. HAYES in a recent interview, said that
it was his fixed and unalterabIe determine
ton to protect the colored race in all it's
rights and privileges, and he should use all
his authority to that end. Let's see. Is the
President elected as the protector of the col
ored race, or of the whole people? If the
latter, why does he permit the rights and
privileges of white msn to be violated With

his attention to the colored people? Have
the whites no rights that the President is

AT an early hour big crowd collected in
the municipal court. Every seat was occu-
pied, and standing room was at premium.
When Beach was brought every neck was
stretched out to get favorable sight of
him.
At O'Clock the case was called in the mu-
niclpal court. Beach showed up quite we'll.
He had furnished up, wore neat brown
coat, light pants, and as his bruises had been
somewhat allayed, he altogether appeared
very respectable.
Mr.. j. N. Rogers appeared for the prose
oution, and MIR. E. q. Gribble represented the
defendant.
The case was commenced by calling Officer
! Baer to the stand. His testimony was SINH
lar to what he had given at the coroner's in
quest.
Then Mr.. McDermott followed by RYAN
gave their version of the affair.
The boy Zoos followed with his testimony.
The prosecution rested.
For the defense, the GLOBE was called. and

the dnte-nlortem statement of Hamilton.
which notary had failed to obtain.
Beach was sworn and repeated in detail
his statement as related before the coroner.
Mr.. Grlbble then addressed the court in
behalf of his client.
he claimed an unconditional discharge for
Beach. The evidence was such as to Justify
the claim. The affair could not be dipni-
lied into justifable homicide, but was only
| a mlsadventure; the consequences being in
no way brought about by the defendant.
Inc whole trouble was chargeable to McDer-
mott and Ryan. Counsel then took occa-
sion to light up McDermott and Ryan,s
conduct. From their evidence their place

and lifted up his hand
81 want to be sworn.''
The Court-Sit down sir!
Mr.. McDermott sat down, crushed.
MIR. Rogers made no reply.
HELD TO THE GRAND JURY,
Ihereupon the court said: This is one of
these unfortunate cases apt to happen in any
saloon, kept as the saloon was in which the
accident happened, by the admission of the
| saloon-keepers themselves. The court then
quoted the law defining what constituted
homicide, IN all the degrees, manslaughter,
etc. He held that the statute defining man
slaughter in the second degree covered this
case. The court therefore held the prisoner
to the grand jury in bonds of $500, and
stated this action must in no way be con
strued into an endorsement of McDermott
and Ryan. Their conduct was unwarranted.
and they were engaged in an unlawful traffic,
for which they should be punished.
Mr.. Rogers ask the court to hold RYAN
and McDermott under bonds as witnesses to
appear before the grand jury.

Afternoon. Session,


At 1:3o o'clock the case against Ryan and
McDermott was resumed. The first witness
called was Bernard Murphy, the man who
played cards with Beach, at the time the
fracas and shooting occurred in the saloon.
His testimony did not vary from what he
had stated at the coroner's inauest.
Charles Cassidy was next called, and cor
roborated the testimony of the preceding
witness.
On motion of Mr.. O'Brien, the defendants
were discharged, which was accordingly
done.
Beach was committed to Jail in default of
$500 bail.
NcDermott and Ryan were held as wit
nesses in the sum OF 5000 each. They en-
tered into bonds on their own recognizance
BEFORE U. S. COMMISSIONERS.
McDermott's troubles did not end with
his discharge from the municipal court. In
the afternoon formal complaint was made
against him, and his arrest was ordered from
the United States marshal's Office. Later in
the day he was arraigned before Commits
missioner Cardozo for selling liquor without
license.
McDermott claimed to have license from
tthe Second revenue district. He did bust
ness at Hamilton, Scott county, and
had left the license over there. He asked a
continuance until to-day at o'clock p. NJ
He was allowed the postponement, but had
to furnish bonds in $500 for his appearance.
Ryan was likewise dealt with.

or bury him in plain manner there.
We received a letter from him last Tuesday,

would be to bring the body here, and also what
it will cost to bury the body there. Our cir
cumstances are poor, and we have not got much
money. Please let us know the particulars of
his death, and by SO doing you will confer
favor on his relatives. Respectfully,

ceptsd; would know him again if saw him:
we played six or eight games; refused to
pay for three beers because they were not
drank; when wanted to leave the saloon
they fastened the door on me; Ryan did it:
and he said I should not
get out of the saloon alive
unless settled; he told me 1 should not get
out alive even if 1 had fifty revoivers. I
held the revolver alongside myself, holding
my carpetsack in my left hand; Hamilton
took hold of the pistol, when it was dis
and taken out of my hands, / was
