TELEPHONE LITIGATION.
An Important Decision Against the Bell
Telephone Company In Indiana

An Important Decision Against the Bell
Telephone Company In Indiana
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 27.-A few
days ago it was reported in the Asso-
GATED Press dispatches that Judge
Parrett, OF the state circuit court here,
had given several informal opinions
adverse to the local Bell Telephone
Company. In a case wherein Vickery
Brothers, merchants, sought to COM
pei the telephone company to furnish
them the use of two telephones upon
the firm complying with the usual
terms and regulations, there had been
a long standing disagreement between
the parties. The case has since
been under argument and advise
ment and the court has given it's
decision in the premises. 1t is
held that the telephone company is
bound by the statute to furnish tele-
phone service to all applicants who
comply with its terms and regulations,
being common carrier of news or in
telligence as well as quasi public cor
poratlon. While patents and new
inventions may be rightfully and sa-
credly protected, yet when voluntarily
pACoSNNA AAA
merce, they must be SO used as not to
give partiality or discrimination in
favor of Or against any person or class
OF persons. In this case no previous
quarrel or wrong would relieve either
party. Under this decision, the tele-
phone company will havet to pay, unless
relieved by the supreme court, 800
penalty for each refusal to furnish
telephone service to the plaintiffs.
The latter have nearly dozen appli-
cations for two telephones, and upon
refusal have sued for the penalties,
amounting to 5000 in each case. In
cidentally, although not strictly in
volved in the case, Judge Parrett
gives his opinion that another state
statute limiting the charge for the use
of telephones to So each or SIS for two,
is constitutional, and that the word
telephone" includes all the appliances
necessary to communicate between
different points, according to the usage
OF the system.

THE number of people that alcoholic
drink has brought to jail and even to
the gallows has never been accurately
determined. A great many figures
have been published on the subject;
but as it is almost impossible to trace
every crime to liquor, or prove that
every drunkard will commit a crime,
statistics are not wholly trustworthy.
But an incident recently occurred in
London about which there can be no
manner of doubt as to it's being one of
''rum's doings." A family coming
down in the morning found a. burglar
asleep in the house, with a nearly
empty gin bottle in one hand and the
family silver stored away in his clothes.

4 BOSTON SENSATION.
A Conspiracy to Murder q Prominent
Young Lady of the West End.

A Conspiracy to Murder q Prominent
Young Lady of the West End.
BosToN, Mass, Oct. 26.-A morning
paper tells a sensational story in con-
nection with the mysterious arrest of
woman here on Saturday night The
prisoner is said to be the principal in
a conspiracy to murder a prominent
young lady Of the West End. The
young lady is said to be heir to con-
siderable property, and by getting rid
of her the property would fall into
their hands. Some time ago the con-
spirators started to put their plans
into operation by attempting to
poison her. Although the young lady
suffered considerably, she finally re-
covered. Her would-be murderers de-
cided toadopt other means of takingher
life. Their plan was to have young the
lady enticed to Baltimore where the
next attempt to kill her was to bemade.
They then hired fellow of this city
to perform the work, advancing him
money to carry out their schemes.
This mans heart failed him, however,
and he acquainted the police with the
story, while still pretending to his en-
ployers that he was willing to do their
bidding. For two weeks the detectives
have been watching every move made
by the cOnspirators, and on Saturday
afternoon they had such q strong case
against the woman that they decided
to arrest her. The police are hard at
work collecting evidence and very start
ling developments are expected.

GRANT AND TILDEN.
Ex-President Hayes Private Secretary
Retails q Bit of Political Gossip.

Ex-President Hayes Private Secretary
Retails Bit of Political Gossip.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 29.-Capt. AL
fred E. Lee, who was private secretary
to Gov. Hayes, when hewas nominated
and inaugurated as president, and aft
erward appointed by Hayes as consul
general at Frankfort-on-the-Main is
now in this city. His attention was
yesterday called to the statement of
George w. Childs, of Philadelphia,
which has been extensively published,
to the effect that Gen. Grant told
Childs that Tilden was elected and
should have been inaugurated instead
of Mr.. Hayes. Lee says: During the
summer of 1877, [ had numerous in
terviews with Gen. Grant, and among
the things discussed was the Hayes
Tilden controversy, and Grant gave
me to understand that he had
reason to believe Mr.. Tilden
proposed to come down to Wash
ington and be sworn in as presi-
dent. Speaking of this Grant said in
his quiet way, but with an expression
of seriousness on his face which indi-
Gated that he meant every word he
said: IF Mr.. Tilden had undertaken
to do that I would have hanged him.
Capt. Lee says Gen. Grant told him
this on morethan one occasion, and at
one time told him that he would like
to have Mr.. Hayes know it. During
the controversy and all his subsequent
acts and talk, and the fact that Presi-
dent Grant had made thorough prep
arations to thwart any attempt to
lnaugurate Mr.. Tilden illegally, he
thinks conclusively discredits the
childish story. Lee quotes Gen. E. f.
Moves, late minister to France, as be-
ing the possessor of similar informa-
tiOn to that of his.

The deputies and Senate of Brazil
have concurred in an emancipation
bill which is now a law supplementary
to the free-birth law Of 1871, which, it
is calculated, will extingnish African
slavery in that country in nine to
thirteen years. The slaves are to be
officially valued, with annual reduc-
tions in valuations, until in thirteen
years they will be reduced to nil. Five
per cent. of all imperial revenues, ex-
cept export duties, is to be applied to
the emancipation fund, of which ore
third is to pay half the value of plan
tation negroes whose owners Will free
them after not more than five years
service, and another third is to be ap-
piled to the encouragement of immi-
grafton. The negro himself must be
the principal buyer of his freedom, but
the cost of that commodity will be-
came less every year, and in any event
he becomes his own master in thirteen
years.

PROF. LUDWIG MEYER denies that
thelight wines and beers are diminish
ing the consumption OF ardent spirits
and claims that there is a steady in
crease in the use of both. In Holland,
he says, the use of spirits has increased
thirty per cent. within seventeenyear
in Belgium it has doubled itself in the
last forty years, and even in that
home of wines, France, it has risen
from an average of four annual litres
per head to seven in the two decades
from 1860 to 1880, i. e., an increase
of seventy per cent. Yet the learned
professor will probably concede that
there would be more spirits drank if
the wine and beer drinkers used them
instead of the lighter beverages.

beheI that Depredations in the Southwest
are Committed by White Men.
Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. 31.-Lieut. Day,
OF the Ninth Cavalry, who has been
pursuing Geronimo and his band for
the past five months, arrived here last
evening, to enjoy brief rest from
CHASING the hOstiles. He states that
the Indian scouts in the employ of the
government will be continued in the
service, but that those now in the
held will be allowed to return to their
reservation and recuperate, and anoth-
er band Of friendly Apache scouts from
the San Carlos reservation will be
placed in the field to watch the hostiles
and combat them if they attempt to
return from Mexico, where it is certain
all OF Geronimo's band is now shell
tered. 1t is currently believed in army
circles that nearly all the dep
relations committed in this sec
ton during the past two months
have been perpetrated by white
desperadoes disguised as Indians.
Arizona and New Mexico are overrun
by white renegades and thieves who,
disguised as Apaches, prefer to plumber
ranches and steal cattle rather than
do an honest days work. Lieut.. Day
relates many thrilling incidents OF his
long chase. Three times they over
took portions of Geronimo's band and
gave them running battle, but in
each instance the hostiles escaped to
their mountain retreats. In these
three battles the lieutenant was the
only white man participating on the
side OF the government. Every Indian
scout, the lieutenant says, proved
faithful and untiring for days They
were without food and suffered terri
bly,. Never" says the lieutenant,

A FEW years ago the president of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science read a paper before
the association which argued that the
time was near at hand for the con-
sumption of coal only in in a volatile
form, both for Illumination and fuel.
It was Prof. Siemen's theory that coal
would be best burnt at the mine, and
converted into gas for distribution
through pipes and mains among places
of consumption. One part of his the
DRY is being already practically exem-
plifed at divers points in the coal-oil
states, though the gas used is the prod
uct of the slow subterranean combus-
ton of an oil which is a congener or
product of coal. An effort is also
being made to raise capital in New
York and Philadelphia for the purpose
OF laying pipe lines to conduct this
natural gas to those cities, and the
promoter claims that, notwithstand-
ing the large outlay necessary, the gas
would be cheaper than coal or artificial
gas, both for fuel and light. It may
be a little previous at present to at
tempt any enterprise like this, but the
tendencies appear 60 point to general
future methods of using artificial as
well as natural gas in this manner.

Almost a Lynching Bee.

A. J. Burns, who up to few days pre-
vious had been in the employ of r. 6. Dun's
commercial agency, on Monroe Street, Chi
cago, on the afternoon of the 2Sth, sta
toned himselfin the hallway of the building,
and the employees came out on their way
home, drew revolver and it is thought
fatally shot Mrs. Ray Good and Miss Lillian
Walters. A crowd which blocked the entire
street soon gathered, and in few minutes
Burns, who had beeh captured short dis
tance away, was brought back to the scene
of his crime. The sight OF the man infuriat-
ed the crowd, and but for the prompt &C.
ton of the police he would have been
lynched on the spot. 1t appears that the
two victims of the deed had been insulted
by Burns, and he hadbeen discharged, with
the understanding that if he would apologize
for his remarks he might return to his desk.
This he refused to do, and took his revenge
in the above manner.

Didn't Care to Commit Himself.

The absorbing question in Georgia
is prohibition. Families are divided
and everybody is talking about it.
One gentleman when asked how he
stood, "wet or dry?" replied: IT am
very much like the soldier, who after the
surrender at Appomattox, started to
walk home. He had not gone many
miles when he met squad of soldiers,
who accosted him: 'Reb or Yank p
Thinking they were confederates, he
replied, 'reb' and did not observe his
mistake until they had given him a
merciless beating. A few miles furth-
or on he met another detached squad
who put to him the same question,
sReb or Yank?' 'Yank,' he answered.
He was bounced upon by the strolling
ex-confederates and severely battered
and let go. AS he advanced several
miles he met a single veteran, who ap-
preached him with Hello, which army,
North or South?' Stranger he re-
piled, as ne cast an inquisitive glance
at his questioner, for heavens sake
won't you speak first p"
