JUDY" EXONERATED.
Illcgitimate Expansion of Dispatch,
Censured in Court.

llleg1timate Expansion of Dispatches
Censured in Court.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The libel case of the
Central News Company against the pro-
prietor of Judy, for publishing an illeged
defamatory article in reference to the tel
egram reporting a supposed plot to assas-
slnate the Marquis of Lansdowne in
Canada, came up before the Recorder to-
day. The counsel for the proprietors of
Judy pleaded justification for their publi-
cation of the alleged libel. The prosecu-
tion produced evidence to prove the pub
llcatlOn of the libel, and also produced
receipts of kilograms. Two of the Cen
tral News sub-editors were called for the
defense and repeated their former testi-
mony about expanding kilograms.
One of the editors of Reuters 8
Telegram Company deposed that
he had never seen telegrams EXPANDED
to such an extent as were those of the
Central News. The proprietor of the
Bristol Mercury testified that he Thought
himself defrauded by such unwarranted
expansion. The Judge here stopped the
proceedings, and declared that the alleged
libel was published in the interest of the
public, and that if the suit of the Central
News company succeeded the freedom of
the press might be seriously affected.
The jury expressed their unanimous opin-
ion that no case had been made out against
Judy. and considered that the alleged
libel was really fair criticism of the
manner in which the Central News con-
Quoted its business. The Judge concur
red in this view of the jury and dismissed

to be Adopted.
RICHMOND, Dec. 13-In both houses of
the General Assembly to-day joint reso-
luton was introduced by the Democratic
members, declaring
First. That the people of Virginia have ac-
cepted the act of February, 1882, known as
the Riddleberger bill, as the ultimate plan of
the settlement of the debt of this State. that il
Is their unalterable purpose that that settle
ment shall be final, and any expectation that
any other basis will ever be made or tolerated
by the people of Virginia is absolutely ilu-
sorry and hopeless.
Second. That the interests of the public
creditors, as well as the safety and welfare of
the State, require that that settlement shall
be accepted by the creditors as well as by the
State, and, therefore, the General Assembly
of Virginia, on behalf OF all the people of the
State, advise and call upon the holders of all
bonds and claims against the Commonwealth
to come forward with pT0mptness and fund
the same under the provisions of said act.
Third. That the Governor of the Common
wealth be requested to communicate these
resolutions to the holders of bonds and claims
against the State by proclamation.
The Introduction of this resolution is
the result of a discussion in the Demo-
cratic caucus last night, and there is no
doubt of its adoption by the Legislature.
The Senate Finance Committee this
morning reported a joint resolution direct
ing the Treasurer not to refund hereafter
money paid into the Treasury under the
act of January IA, 1882, until an apprOpri-
alton has been made for the purpose of
paying the coupons rendered for taxes un-
der said act.
The State officers nominated in the
caucus last night were elected to-day.

OSCARS EsTHETIC ATTITUDE.
SarOny and a LithOgraPhic Company In
volved in "A Ludicrous Trial.

SarOny and a LithOgraphic Company In
volved in a LudicrOHs Trial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The case of the
BarrOw-Giles LithOgraphic Company
against Napoleon Sarony, which was ar
gued in the United States Supreme Court
this afternoon, relates to a photograph of
Oscar Wide, the apostle of aesthetic cul-
ture, and involves the question whether
the copyright acts, in so far as they grant
protection to photographs, are cOnstitu-
tional. the counsel for SarOny argued
that the latter had ''invented" the
picture in controversy, that is that he
had posed Oscar Wilde before the camera.
selected his costume as well as the drape-
ries and other accessories, arranged said
Oscar Wilde in graceful position, and
suggested and evoked the desired express
sion. This, the counsel maintained, made
SarOny an author or inventor, not of the
subject of the picture. it was true, but OF
the picture itself. The counsel for the
LithOgraphic Company, however, con-
tended that SarOny had not produced or in
vented Oscar Wilde. but had merely ar
ranged him, that is, had newly arranged
something already eXtant. If this was
an invention, SarOny had mistaken his
remedy. He should have taken out a
patent instead of copyright. To obtain
a copyright the person claiming protec-
tiOn must be the author of the visible
article on which the copyright is
granted. Sarony was not the creator
of Oscar Wilde, and the photograph was
not such an original as could be copy
righted. All that the photographer did
was to put Wilde in particular suit OF
clothes and have him cross his legs in a
particular position. That work was not
the work of an author, and Sarony was
not entitled, the counsel maintained, to
cOpvright protection.

FIRES FEARFUL WORK.
A Ferry Boat AbIaze in a Twinkling and
Several Horses Burned.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The ferry boat
Garden City, of the. East River Ferry
Company, caught fire and was burned at
noon to-day in its berth at the foot of
James slip. Several horses were burned,
but all the passengers and employees on
the boat escaped so far as known at pres
ent. The boat is a wreck. 1t was valued
at 100000 and is partly insured. The
boat had just left the slip on its way to
Long Island City, and had barely got its
own length into the stream when flames
were seen bursting from the deck above
the boiler. The engines were reversed
and che boat backed into the slip, but
so rapid was the spread of the flames that
before 1t reached the bridge the
cabins were wrapped IN flames
from end to end. In a desperate
jump for the bulkhead of the ferry Slip to
save himself, the pilot dislocated his
shoulder, but fell out of reach of the
flames. Engineer Sam Tracy ran through
the flames and reached the deck with his
clothing all ablaze. His shirt was burned
from his body, and his hair was singed.
James Rial, the fireman, finding escape
to the deck cut off, squeezed through a
port hole and dropped into the river and
was saved. The fire started near the
boiler, and it is supposed that the heated
