An Opinion Filed by the Supreme Court
IN the Case of Lester and Others
VS.. the Chicago Board.
CHICAGO. Mar 90.

CHICAGO. Mar ~.
The supreme court at Springfield has filed
an opinion in the case of Lester and others
VS.. the chicago Board of Trade, in favor Of
the latter. The suits, twenty in number,
grew out of what was known as the July
wheat corner. The market price for July
wheat at the close of that month having
reached 1856, large number of operatives
amount thus held back is estimated between
two and three millions of dollars. The mat
ter was taken before the arbitration commit
tee of the board. and the hearing extended
nearly a month, the losing operators urging
that the market had been cornered by a
clique. and citing as an instance the price of
cash wheat. The case gained additional in
terest. from the fact that it was deemed q
test one. The arbitration committee fixed
the settling price at 1856. at which figure the
operators were ordered to make good their
differences. In anticipation of report of
the committee. the matter was carried into
court, and the board of trade was enjoined
from attempting to discipline members fer
failure to paw differences, and restrain any
action tending TOT deprive them of the board
membership. To this the board of trade
urged no defence, citing the board rules as
sufficient under which to discipline board
members. The lower court decided the
members amenable to the rules of the board,
and that the court could afford them no re-
lief from obligations voluntarily taken in
joining the board. The supreme court sus-
tains this view.

TROUBLE IN A MINING TOWN.
Fifty Persons in Colorado Ordered Out
OF a Town.

DENVER, Col, Mar 20.
Recently the directors of the Bassick Min
ing Company of New York, received a threat
ening letter from large numbers of miners of
Queride, where the mine is located, demand
ing the dismissal of Superinte ndent Perkins
and Foreman McGregor, charging insuffera-
BILE tyranny, and that they interfere in NUM-
berless ways with their rights as men. Re-
liable information states the true solution of
the trouble is that Perkins discovered an
organized band that had been long stealing
ore from the company. and was instrumental
in sending several of them to the peuiten-
tiary. The climax was reached yesterday,
when the malcontents served notices to fifty
persons to leave town forthwith, and threat
ening violence. Qnerida and the surround
ing country is terribly excited. Armed min
ers are parading the streets and the law is
defied. Governor Grant has been called
upon to proclaim martial law. Fears are en-
tertsined that there will be bloodshed today

THE LAST DAY ON EARTH.
Mrs. Meaker TO be Hanged TOday-Her
Son Visits Her and Urges
Confession.

WINDSOR, Vt Mar ~.
Mrs. Meaker, who is to be hanged tomor.
row, has been calm most of the day. but
shows signs of weakening and it is expected
she will be Frustrated tomorrow. She re-
ceived a letter from her son Almon, today,
offering the last consolation and urging her
to confess, saying his confession made him
feel enough better to pay him for the pain it
cost him to tell it, and that it would be bet
ter for her in the next world to make al clean
breast of the affair. He says he would lay
down his life to save her. but that being i'm
possible he can only offer her the satIsfac-
ton that words can give and expresses the
hopeithat they shall 'meet in the better
land beyond where there is no sorrow nor
sadness He closes by saying he is trying
to lead a christian life and trusting that she
will be in readiness to meet her Lord.
Shortly after the receipt of the letter,
Almon visited his mother in her cell, in the
presence of the prison officials. They shook
hands, showing slight excitment over the
latter. She claimed that all was false and
that Almons lies had brought her to this and
demanded of him to admit this. She ad-
mitted she could tell good story, but claimed
that justice should be meted out to all. She
said all the family hated alike and had
whipped her severely. Almon asked her if
she had not asked him to take the child to the
mountains to starve. She laughed, saying
she never thought of such thing. During
the interview, which lasted over an hour,
she showedgreat nerve. She stillmainta as
her innocence and says tis ready to meet
her God. She had an interview later with
he chaplin and was more uneasy than ever,
but failed to confess.

POST OFFICE LAW.


a POstmaSter OF the EOurtn NlASs lSuress
In YOUR interesting article on salaries OF
postmasters, an error occurs regarding the
increase of salaries of fourth class postmas-
tiers. as little figuring will show. In offices
where present receipts are less than 500 per
quarter, there will be a slight increase of
salary under the new law, but where the re-
ceipts are over SlO0 there " ill be a decrease.
For instance, in an Office canceliing 1000
stamps at 8 cents each. the receipts are $50.
and at present commission of 60 per cent.
the compensation is S54. Under the
new law the 5000 stamps at two
cents each would amount to $50, on
which the new commission of 100 per
cent on first $50 and 60 per cent on second,
would make the salary $50. A cancellation
IF 5000 stamps at three cents would be $50
Present commission of 60 per cent on first
500, and so per cent ION all over 500 and
not over $500" would make compensation on
$3.50 the sum of $50. Under the new law
the 5000 stamps at two cents would produce
500, and on the new basis his compensation
would be only $50 for the same number
of stamps cancelled that under the present
law produces a salary of $S5. So while the
smaller fourth-class offices gain a little, the
larger ones lose, and can only hope for a con-
tinuance of present salary, or increase, from
an increase of business of their Offices, and
not from the basis of the new percentage.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE CALAIS TRAGEDY.
Further Particulars OF Herb ri W..
EatOn's Attempted suicide.

HALIFAX. Mar 80.
A later dispatch from Truro concerning
the attempted suicide of H. w. Eaton of
Calais, NJ zine, says he was lying in his berth
about 8 O'Clock when the other passengers,
including several ladies, were startled by five
reports from a revolver. In few minutes
the whole train was alarmed. The conduc-
tors rushed into the Pullman car and seized
the mans hands just as he was about to dis
charge the sixth shot at his head. The man,
who was partly under the influence of liquor
at the time, had boarded the train at some
place north of Moncton. kilograms were
forwarded to Truro, and on reaching there
he was examined by doctor and removed to
a hotel A detective from Halifax arrived on
late train and arrested the man. The prisoner
is too seriously injured to be removed at pres
ent from the hotel. A man travelling with
Eaton. supposed to be his brother, made
some resistance to the detectives entering
his room, but finally submitted and allowed
him to enter.
LATER-The two brothers of Eaton are on
their way to Truro, and an officer leaves
Calais tomorrow morning to take the prisoner
back. Eaton seemed willing to return home
and it is not thought that extraditIon papers
will be necessary.

A STRONG LAW SUIT.
Result in Favor OF the Bell Telephone
Company.

New YORK, Mar 90.
In the United States circuit court at Tren-
ton, Wednesday, Judge Nixon made an i'm
portant decision in the case of the Bell Tel
ephone Co., against Andrew Bright and John
J. Ghegan of Newark. Ghegan claimed to
have invented the telephone used as the Peo-
Plies Telephone and Telegraph Company, and
the line was run from the office of the COM
pany to the residence of Andrew Bright in
Newark.
A suit was brought against them by the
Bell Telephone Co., for an Infringement, and
the case was tried some time ago. The val
idity of the Bell patents was assailed and a
strong contest resulted. Today, Judge
Nixon made an order which sets forth that
the Bell patents have been infringed and that
it be referred to S. d. Oliphant to ascertain
the damages sustained by the Bell Co., as
well as the profits and gains of the defend
ants for the use of the infringing instruments +,
and flu rther that perpetual injunction be
issued restraining the defendants and all
others from further infringing said letters
