A Boston Audience Gets Specimen of
their Prowess.
BOSTON, Dec. 30.-DuriDg the lecture tc-
night OF the Ford brothers, the slayers of Jesse
James, In one of the subsidiary halls in Horti-
cultural building, fremont street, an exciting
scene occurred. There was large audience
present, and some rough loudly offered the
opinion that the Ford brothers were "no good. %
This reflection upon their prowess was i'm
mediately taken up by the brothers, who drew
their revolvers and brandishing them in a ter
rifying manner, leaped srom the stage into the
midst OF the audience, evidently bent on
slaughter. The audience stampeded immedi-
ately, and such was the haste that many
sought egress through the windows, smashing
the sashes TO facilitate their exit. Tha hall is
on the groupd d floor and the windows open di-
recty on the street,

the proprietor of the show interfered, setting

to stay and finish according to the programme.

the performance to proceed, not however until
the latter had taken the names of seven assault

ing the brothers was ''you may be the Ford

The Sunday Law.


NEW YORK, Dec. 30-Judge Arnoux today
rehde a decision in the Superior Court on
the application OF certain parties to restrain
the police from interfering under the new
code with the holding of Sunday sacred con-
certs in various popular resorts. The judge de-
nies the application for the injunction, al-
though he says that "Sunday concerts and
lectures are not in or of themselves forbidd en-
by law" He adds that an INDUCTION restr ain
ing the police from interfering with these con-
certs or lectures would permit certain things
to be done which are illegal, and there was no
power in the court to make discrimination.
Judge Arnonx also rendered decision in
the case of the Adams Express Company, who
sought an Injunction restraining the police
from interfering with them in transacting
their business on Sundays. The court denies
the injunction as to goods to be received and
delivered in this city, but grants an Injunction
as to goods in transit.

Important Decision Regarding Arkans as
Railroad Bonds.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 30.-In 1868 the
State Legislature passed an act loaning the
State credit to railroad companies to the extent
of $1O,000,000. Bonds were issued to various
railroads for nearly $6.00O,0O0. Subsequently
the State Supreme Court decided that the act
had not been legally passed. Several months
since w. T. Tompkins, holder of bonds is
sued by the Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad,
filed bill in the United States Circuit Court
at Little Rock to compel that company to pay
the State bonds, and to foreclose the State lien
on the railroad. The railroad company filedia
demurrer. The Circuit Court, in an opinion
written by Judge Caldwell of the United
States District Court, and concurred in by
Judge McCrary of the United States Circuit
Court, has overrnled the demurrer, holding
that the lien in favor of the State to secure the
payment of the State bonds loaned to the orig
inal company is paramount to the lien created
by the subsequent mortgage, under which the
defendant claims, and that the holders of the
State bonds are entitl d to be subrogated to the
lien of the State to secure their payment The
Court further holds thauthe decision of the
Supreme Court of the State that State bonds
are not binding obligations of the State, in no
wise affects the rights of bondhoders against
the company, or the validity of the statutory
lien to securee their payment. The bonds af-
fected by this decision represent nearly one
half of the disputed debt Of the State.
