sincerity of the declarations of the Italian
foreign minister land Hungarian pre-

France was entertained. He believed
the alliance would not in any way

mainly to larger defense force, must
not be surprised to find itself exposed to

An interesting Patent Suit.

An interesting case, involving a very in
genious land economical device, has just
been decided by the courts, the particulars
of which will bear brief mention. Nelson
Lyon of Albany, n. Y, his recovered judg
ment of $s,447.1O besides cost and ipleres:
against e. L. Fisher & Co., in the United
States Circuit Court. at Detroit, Mich, for
an infringement of what is known to the
trade as Lyons Patent Metallic Heel Stiffen-
er. This contrivance is enc of the most use
full of modern inventions, and has achieved
remarkable sale over threequarters of
million dollars worth, the testimony in the
present suit showed having been disposed of
since the patent was granted, being grand
total OF 273 473 pounds, or 1888 600 pairs.
At Oh time the Attorney General OF the
United States declared the Lyon patent in
valid, simply on account of an informally
ia the application, but this was afterward
corrected by the Commissioner of Patents,
in accordance with special act of Congress
authorizing such correction. Fishers main
improvement consisted in elOngating the
screw-hole fastening the plate, and, as de-
PENDANTS they based their main defence in
trying to show the special act OF congress
was unconstitutional and that plaintiffs in
vention was not new. Action was COM
menced in May, 1880, perpetual injunc-
ton was obtained in December following,
and the case was referred tc master to as
certain the pr.fits made by defendants and
the loss sustained by Mr.. Lyon. The mas
ter reported the sum as So, 1874 but on motion
the court doubled the same, and directed
Judgment to be entered against defendants
for such double damages, with interest from
the date of the masters report and costs.

dents Utah recommendation:
This most sweeping measure that has
ever been proposed for Utah is full Of evil
possibilities which become probabilities
when we reflect upon the persons who
would likely have the enforcement of the
same. When Arthur recommends the
adoption of such an extraordinary measure
for dealing with Moumons, it is evident
that he contemplates vigorous action in the
event of congress aniting hands and giving
him full swing according to his ambitious
inclination. However, We do not appre-
bend the occurrence OF anything serious or
radical Immediately. True, Arthur has
gone farther than his predecessors in the
matter; bnt if We take the trouble to recall
events of the past dozan years, we will I'm.
