THE CHEAT TELEPHONE SUIT.
Judge Wallace Decides In Favor O1
 The Hell TeIephone Company.

Judge Wallace Decides In Favor Of
 The Hell Telephone Company.
 NEW YORK, Dec. Judge Wallace, of the United States Circuit court, this morn ing handed in his decision in the case of the American Bell Telephone company against the Peoples Telephone company. The de cision is voluminous, covering many pages of legal cap, and is in favor of the complain ants, the American Bell Telephone company. This termination of suit which has occu- pied more than four years in trials in vari ous courts sustains the preliminary injunc- tion against the Peoples Telephone eompa- ny, obtained some two years ago. and makes the Bell Telephone company secure in all it's rights, as far as this court is concerned. The last trial days and was argued by the following lead ing lawyers For the complainants, Hon. Roscoe Conkling, J. J. Storrow. E. N. Dick erson and Chauncey Smith; for the defend ants, Senator Edmunds, Lysander HilI Church 6 Church and M. w. Jacobs. Coun- sel for defendants will appeal the case.
 A special dispatch from Boston says: F'In consequence of the decision in favor of Bell, in telephone suit, the American Bell Tele- phone stock was offered at 300 after the board this morning."
 Judge Wallace says: f'The issues made by the pleadings are practically resolved into the single question to which the proofs and and arguments of counsel are mainly addressed as to whether the patentee Bell or Drawbaugh was the first in ventor of the electric speaking telephone Conceding that Bell was an original inventor of the telephone, the principle of which, with the essential means for it's application, are described in his first patents, and of the inn proved apparatus described in his second pat ent, the decision must be in his favor The fifth claim of the. first patent is for the meth cd and apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically. This patent has been decided in two in the Circuit court of Massachusetts in favor of the Bell patents Without regard to other features of the case it is sufficient to say that the de fence is not established, and the doubt raised is fatal thereto" The case will be at once appealed to the United States Supreme court.

FIELD SETTLED IN BLOOD, Six Men Attack One and Shoot HAm
 Through the Heart,

Through the Heart.
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-Some time ago Captain Murphy, keeper of the workhouse, was before Recorder Ford for assaulting a woman. Ford reprimanded him severely. Murphy afterward posted Ford as liar, thief and perjurer. A duel was expected, but Ford caused Murphy to be indicted for criminal libel. Trouble has been expected since. To-day Murphy, who was working 8 gang on the Clayborn, was seated on the steps of the court house, when three men appeared on the opposite side of the street. They were pointed out to Murphy as Ford's court officers. Just then three other men turned in St. Philips street and advanced on Murphy. One of them was Police Officer Murphy, a brother-in-law of Ford and one of his officers. The other two answered the description of Judge Ford and his brother Patrick. As they approached Murphy the two Fords drew two revolvers each and opened fire. The men on the opposite side of the Astreet also fired. One of Captain Murphys friends was wounded in the leg by the first volley. Murphy emptied his revolver at his assail- ants without damage and fled. Pat Ford nursued and shot him in the back, the bullet roino through his heart. Another of the men walked up and shot him twice in the head as he fell He was wounded eight times altogether. Murphy was an. amateur snarrer with considerable reputation and was considered a desperate man. Judge Ford claims he can prove an alibi. Eighteen men have been, arrested.

IN QUEEN ELIzABETH,s TIaE.
Queer Notions and Extravagant Fash
 ions in Lingerie.

From the Boston Globe
 Night-gowns were not known, and the GUS tom was to sleep entirely without clothing. Under the Tudors night-gowns were worn, formed mostly of silk and velvet. Anne bound with black taffeta and edged with vel vet of the same color. One of Queen Eliza beth's night-gowns was of black velvet, trim med with silk lace and lined fur In 1868 Her Majesty ordered George Bradyman to deliver ftthree- and-sixe of the best sable skynnes to furnish us nyght-gown." In like command from Her Majesty in 1572 she orders the delivery of 'Ftwelve yards of pur- pie velvet, prized on the blacke syde with white and russet silke," for night-gown for herself. At the same time she ordered four teen yards of Murry damask ''for the makyng of nyght- gowne for the, Erie of Lycestern Night-dresses were called 'snight-rails" later on, and in the reign of Queen Anne it was the fashion to wear them in the daytime over the usual dress. This gave rise to much rail lery. Nightcaps were mostly of velvet and silk, and these, with the night dresses, the silken shirts and other apparel of the kind, eased the laundress, but they must have given the wearers graphic foretaste fthe trouble some hereafter. No wonder the Duke of Argyle erected posts all over his estate for his tenants to scratch themselves against.
 The housewife's list of washing in the days of Queen Elizabeth would comprise the fol- lowing articles: Ruffes, bandes. cu6ffes handkerchers, oapps, sRirtes,' haif-shfrtes, bootehose, topps, sockes; sReetes. pillow Peres, tahleclotRes, napkins and towels.

JUDGE TOURGEE ON BLAINE.

The Latterss Augusta Speech Pro.
 nOunced Master Coup.
 PORTLAND, Me, Dec. Hon. A. w Tourgee, author of A Fools Brand, in a letter published in the Portland Advertiser this evening defends Blaine's Augusta speech. He says MT. Blaine has shown not only remarkable recuperatiye power in thus swiftly recurring to the basis principles of the party he represents and formulating in the very teeth of disaster 8 policy for the future, but he has also shown the sagaeity of statesman in discerning at once the cause of the weakness in the struggle which has just ended and in 1emedying it by an in stantaneous adoption of policy based upon a principle which insures success. By plac- ing himself behind this great question he has made himself in the very instant of defeat far more formidable leader than he has ever before been and he has rallied about by one master stroke a more homogene- ous party than he has ever before led Beyond all question Mir. B1aines Augusta speech is the most remarkable incident of an al Fogether remarkable career. This remarka- ble address constitutes the platform on which his party will fight not merely for the u08U 1Out y0dIS, DuG ESEndP5 AO1 GAo OOGtSI part of a generation It formulates one great question which must be de- cided before the lesser issues of admins trative detail can become again the controlling questions of American politics. Judge Tourgee then attacks the Democratic party very'bitterly claiming Cleveland's elee- tion to represent confederate victory. The editor of the Advertiser Rep.) commenting on this letter says: It is amazing to find man like Judge Tou1gee speaking of the choice of a northern man, governor of a northern State, to be President of the United States as reinstatement of the power, principles and aninus of the eonfederacy."
