Minnesota Supreme Court Decision.

ST.. PAUL. Dec. 16.-Through Judge
Vanderburgh, the supreme court today rem
dered a decision in the case of the State of
Minnesota, respondent, VS.. Granville @.
Spaulding, appellant, of which the follow
ing is the syllabus: An attempt to make
an arrest by an officer authorized to make
it of itself is no provocation in law, since
every person is bound to submit to the
ordinary course Of justice, and the officers
ably required for its execution; hence the
intentional killing of an officer acting in
the proper discharge of his duty constitutes
the Otfense of muld der in the first degree. SO
the malicious and premeditated killing of
an officer acting under, void process or
without process is murder, notWithstand-
ing the circumstances of provocation or
conflict which might otherwise reduce the
offense to manslaughter.

ANOTHER HORROR.
Eleven Lives Lost by Railway Collision
In Georgia.

ATLANTA GA, December 15.-A fright
full and fatal collision occurred this morn
ing shortly after midnight on the Georgia
Pacific railroad, about fifteen miles from
this city, in which eleven lives were lost
and three persons were so badly injured
that it is thought death will be the result.
The circumstances of the wreck are as fol-
lows: East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
and the Georgia Pacific railroads use the
same tracks from Atlanta to Austell, where
they diverge, one going west and the other
north. They leave the city from different
depots and meet at the city limits, and
from there both use the same track to Aus
tell. Just one mile east of Austell,
toward Atlanta, is water tank used
by the Georgia Pacific. The night passen-
ger train of the Georgia Pacific leaves here
at 10 o'clock and the East Tennessee train
leaves at 1890. Last night, however, the
Georgia Pacific was somewhat DELAYED.
and when 1t stopped at the water tank.
it was on the East Tennessees time. The
East Tennessee passenger train came fly
ing round curve near the water tank, and
without moments warming went crash
ing into the rear end of the Georgia Pacific
train. Engineer Owen and the fireman of
the East Tennessee train saw the Georgia
Pacific train, but too late to avoid the col
lision. The fireman jumped from the en-
gine, but the engineer remained at his post,
reversing the engine and applying the air
brakes. The rear coach was filled with
passengers, many of whom were so pinned
down by the wreck that they were unable
to stir, and the escaping steam soon caused
the death of five or six. All was darkness,
the cries of the wounded rent the air, and
the statements of those who fastened to
the scene are to the effect that words can
not describe it's horrors. AS soon as
possible the East Tennessee was backed
from the wrecked, and the work of remov-
ing the dead and wounded wascommenced.
From Austell message was sent to At.
lanta apprising the officials of the road of
the accident, andasking for help. At 2:25 a.
m. train left here bearing physicians and
several of the railroad officials, who set to
work to have the track cleared, and at $50
this morning the task had been completed.
At 7:S0 train left Austell for Atlanta with
the dead and wounded.
The accident can not yet be placed. The
East Tennessee conductor says he was on
| time and followed the schedule and his di-
rections In full. The Georgia Pacific conduc-
tor says he had no official acknowledge of the
night passenger train of the East Tennes-
! see, and ran out as he had always done.
| An inquest is in progress.
