SUNDAY RAILROAD FRA

|
 Two interesting and important decisions
 concerning the running of Sunday railroad
 trains have recently been given. One of these was in case which came up in the criminal court of Indianapolis. Indiana has
 a law prohibiting the prosecution on Sunday
 of common labor or usual vacations, except ! works of charity or necessity An agent en- gagged in selling tickets for excursion trains | run on Sunday was prosecuted, on the ground I that such sales were continuance of his usual | vocation and were not a work of necessity. According to the New York 7ai6une, the l judge of the criminal court seems to have decided the case in obedience to a case de- cided in the Supreme Court of Indiana in 1879. The ruling of 1879 was that the clerk of hotel who supplied guests with cigars from the hotel cigar stand was not guilty of Sabbath breaking. The Supreme Court said that necessity in the Sunday laws is not used in an absolute sense but relatively to the pursuits, manners and customs of the people. Such enterprises as sailing ships, running steamboats and railroad trains, car
 rying the mails, operating telegraph lines,
 keeping up rwaterworks and gas works are
 not prohibited on Sunday, nor are large
 manufactories glass furnaces, oil wells and
 other establishments depending upon
 machinery or processes which can-
 not be stopped without serious
 inconvenience or loss required to suspend operations. To keep hotel in op- eration on Sunday is not unlawful, and if it
 may be kept open it may be conducted sub stantially in the same way as on aweek-day
 As consequence, a hotel which keeps cigar stand as part of it's establishment, for SUD- plying cigars to it's boarders and guests on weekdays. may supply the same want in the same general way on Sunday without break ing the law, on the same principle that it may furnish meals. In accordance with this decision the judge of the criminal court said that as railroad companies are not forbidden in Indiana to carry on their general business on Sunday, and excursion trains on that day, within the sound discretion of the di- rectors, are not unlawful it cannot be an of fence for an individual employe to sell tick cts. An excursion ticket may not be an ab- solute necessity of life, but that is not the point. Selling excursion tickets is a neces- sary adjunct to the business of running the train, and if the business as a whole is lawful the necessary incident is not criminal.
 The other decision, rendered in Louisville, presented the question under Federal law. The trains which the suit was brought to stop were through trains carrying the United States mails, and the judge held that it is beyond the power of 8 State Legislature to pass laws interfering with railroad communi cation among the States, or with the carriage of the mails. The power to regulate com merce among the States-and railroad com munication is branch of commeree-and the power to direct the transportation of mails are exclusively vested in Congress. Any power of the States over the subject must be limited to local trains carrying freight or passengers only.

A Woman Shoots a Burglar.
Tragedy at an Indiana Toll Gate- rErnr, tha Indianannlis Santinell

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.l
 The toll gate on the Greenwood and Frank lin Pike is half mile from any nelghbor
 The toll gate is kept by lady named Mollie Hurt She is hard-working woman, and is trying to support herself and four children by adding to her pay as toll keeper the small pay which she receives from washing done for persons living near by. About year ago Mrs Hurt was startled in the night by the presence in her house of a burglar. She was seized, bound with cords, gagged, all her money taken from her, and left to the mercy of the first traveller who might chance along. No trace was ever obtained of the robber- Since this robbery Mrs. Hurt has kept two dogs in her room, one of them savage and rusty watch dog.
 Friday night at midnight she was awaken ed by the barking of these dogs. The house stands east and west, facing the road on the east There is door entrance on the east from the road and one on the north from the we'll. About two feet from this door there is a window, and after Mrs. Hurt was aroused by the barking of the dogs she got up and started towards the door, when one of the panes of glass of this window came crashing in Then she heard a noise at the door. She asked, ''What is wanting?" A gruff voice replied, Make the dogs stop barking and will tell you what is wanting" Then he said, 'sGet all the money you have got and hand it out of the window or we will come in and kill you and your children" She went and got all the money she naQ, amounting IO S7.72, and handed it to him. She put her head out through the window to get sight of him, when he said, ttGod damn you, stick your head back" and cursed her for the smallness of the amount she had given him. The robber insisted that she had more, and he wanted it, but she assured him that he had all she had
 Then he said, ''Give me that revolver you have got in there" Mrs. Hart replied, You shall have it'' She procured the revolver, and as she held it in her hand, she deter mined that he should not have it until 1t was l empty. Standing there by the door of the | room some twelve feet from where the rob | Der was she aimed the revolver in the dark l toward the voice and fired through the door. | Then she instantly fired again. All was
 still. She was just ready to fire the third
 and last shot when her little son, remember | ing that there were only three charges In the
 revolver, said - 'sOh. mother, save the last shot; he may | try to get in"
 | She acted on his suggestion and waited 1 a few moments to hear the sound ot hls
 movements No sound came, when she opened the south window and put Willie, her | second boy, out of it and told hlm to go to | MT. Singles and tell them about 1t.
 When the gentleman and boy returned | Mrs. Hurt told them to go around to the north door and see if they could see any thing. There lay the robber Welter1ng ln | his blood.

Pa, court, sustains Attorney General Palmer's opinion that the members of the Legislature
Morning journal and courier., 1881-07-29

are not entitled to $500 additional pay each
 for the extra 50 days service rendered at the
 recent session. An act passed in 1874 pro
 vided that members of the Legislature should
 receive $1 ,O00 for 100 days'service, and $10 per
 day for all succeeding days of the session not
 exceeding 50. This law was enacted under a
 section of the State constitution providing
 that members of the Legislature shall receive
 such salaries as shall be fixed by law during
 the session of the Legislature, and Judge
 Pearson decides that the payment of a fixed
 salary precludes the idea of daily wages in addition, and that that part of the act of 1874 proposing daily pay in addition to fixed sum for members of the Legislature is un- constitutional and void. The bills for this extra 50 days service amounted to about $125, 1000.
 Mayor Richmond of Pueblo, in the mining region of Colorado, tells reporter that many of the stock companies are operated without honor or decency, being merely schemes to beguile unsuspecting people in the East. He gives the following account of how the trick is usually played: ''A com pany will be formed representing cash cap ital of perhaps $1o0, ooO, for the purpose of opening new mines and of carrying on the business of mining generally. A claim is bought and opened. Suppose the mine shows up or sights for $1OO. .0OO, the capital stock The company then proceeds to put the mine on the eastern market at capital of $1, ,00O, 900, or possibly, if the company is unusually sharp, at $5, 100000 This is done by going to few prominent capitalists and saying; Here. we will let you in on the ground floor of this company if you will take some stock and help us along by your influence The capitalists buy the stock and lend their names, and in short time the entire stock is taken by eastern investors, who are deceived by seeing the prominent capitalists as heavy When the stock has all been taken the money is divided between those on the ground floor and operations go on as in all well-regulated companies. The con- cern never pays dividend in the world, and the second class of stockholders never see cent of their money"

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, ,OOO0 lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recona- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuiD than either the sRoyal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained
