In the circuit court of the United
States ior the southern district of New
York, JUDGE WALLACE, sitting IN the
case of the American Bell Telephone
ct al. vs.. the Peoples TeIe-
phone company ct al, decided in favor
of the Bell company. The decision,
succiuctly stated was this: One hun
bred Witnesses, more or less. testify
that on ono or moro occasions, which
took place from to 10 years before, they
think they sew this or that device used
as q talking machine; they are ignorant
Of the prin ciple and of the mechanical
construction of the instruments, but
they heard speech through them per-
fectly well, and through one set of in
struments as we'll as the other. This case
is met on the part of the compliments by
proof that tho instruments which most
of tho witnesses think they saw and
heard through, were incapable OF being
heard through in the manner described
by them, and further that the man who
knew all about the capacity of his in
struments never attempted to use them
in the manner which would demonstrate
their efficiency and commercial value,
but on the contrary for ten years alter
he could have patented them, and for
five years after they were mechanically
perfect, knowing all the time that a
fortune awaited the patentee, and with
no obstaclesin his way did not move,
but calmly saw another obtain patent
and rear the fame and profit of the in
yention.

A SETTLERS, VICTORY.
They Get the Best Of tho Land Quarrel In
Utah.

WASHINGTON. September 16.-The Com
missioner of the General Land Office has
decided that the date of the definite loca-
ton of the Union Pacific Railroad from Og-
den to Promontory, a point in Utah, gov
erns the railroad grant, and not the date OF
the definite location of the Central Pacific
road between these points. This portion
OF the road was located by the two COM
panies, but was constructed by the Union
Pacific and sold to the Central under the
provision OF an act of Congress of April g.,
1869. 1t has heretofore been held that
the date OF the location by the Central Pa
cific was the date when the right OF the
company attached to add the sections
within the granted limits. This was an act
of 1868. The location by the Union Pa
cific was April %, 1869. The present rul-
ing gives settlers the advantage OF the differ
ence in time, the lands settled upon prior
to the latter date being held to be excepted
from the railroad grant.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC APPEAL.
WASHINGTON, September 16.-Some time
last spring Commissioner Sparks made an
order restoring to the public domain sew
eral hundred thousand acres OF land that
had been withdrawn to satisfy railroad
grants at point in Southern California
where the Texas Pacific and Southern Pa
cific railroad grants overlapped each other.
The Commissioner in his order regarded the
land as part OF the lapsed Texas Pacific
grant, but the Southern Pacific Company
held that as they had complied with the
terms OF their grant and constructed their
road through the land within the allotted
time they were entitled to the tracts. This
company voted an appeal from the Com
missioner's opinion, and the Secretary Of
the Interior was occupied this morning in
hearing the arguments by attorneys for the
railway company in support of its claims.

CHINESE DELICACY.
Skunks Used to Cover Up Their Horrible
Deeds.

SAN FRANcIsCo, September ia horrl-
BILE discovery was made in Chinatown to-
day. Information was given the city coro-
ner that frightful stencil was being emit
ted from a cellar OF Pacific street He
went there forced his way in and found the
floor covered with human skulls and bones
partially covered with flesh in the last las,
stage OF green putrifaction. Among the
decayed mass worms were crawling, while
the floor was wet and Shiny with liquid ex-
uding from the remains. In an inner room
was found number OF Chinese engaged IN
boiling down the remains OF other bodies,
while other Chinese were engaged in scrap
ing the boiled bones and packing them IN
boxes for shipment to China. 1t IS estl-
mated that the cellar contained over three
hundred dead bodies, which had been taken
secretly from various cemeteries through
out the State. AS an instance OF Chinese
of the operations, fearing that the stencil
from the boiling pots would be SO great as
to attract attention from the outside ad pro- pro.
cured two living skunks, so that the odor
OF the latter might overcome the former.

FOUND DEAD.
John Aller an Old Timer Dies Very
Suddenly.

Yesterday morning the attendants at the
lodging house OF Dennis Farrel on East Park
street discovered that John Ailer who is
better known as "Fat Jack, and who was
occupying a bed there was dead. The
Coroner DR.. C. s. Whitford was notified and
at once summoned a jury, who heard
several witnesses. The evidence was brief
and to the point, the man entered the room
last night in his usual health and was found
dead in the morning no noise having been
heard during the night. 1t was also stated
that he had been drinking heavily for some
time and the jury returned n verdict that
he came to his death from heart disease
produced by ytheexcessive use OF stimulants.
"Fat Jack" was an old timer in Butte and
1t is said that he was once well-to-do and
had business relations. with the leading
citizens but that too generous use OF
alcohol brought on reverses and instead OF
recovering he sank lower, getting his drinks
the best way he could and living from hand
to mouth. He was until recently in the
county hospital and since his dismissal
from there has got into his old habits. The
remains will be buried at the expense OF the
county.

POSTMASTERS' SALARIES.
How They Manage to Have Them IL
legally Increased.

WASHINGTON. September 15.-Postmaster
j. w. Flagg, OF Ellsworth, Mass, has been
recommended for removal for mailing
circulars at his office that should have
been mailed at Boston. Fourth-class
postmasters are paid salaries based upon
the number OF stamps cancelled at their
offices. Ii such postmasters. from friend
ship or through corrupt means, induce
business men living in cities Of the Presi-
Dental grade to mail large quantities OF
matter at their offices, the effect is an in
crease in the postmaster's salary. This
practice is believed to prevail to a great
extent in the small towns surrounding
Boston, and to a small extent around New
York. Inspectors investigations have
revealed the fact that there are persons in
cities who have made a business OF furnish
ing to addresses quantities OF circulars for
firms free of cost upon payment OF one
cent postage on each circular. They take
these circulars TO q small Village -postofice
and stipuIate with the postmaster for a
share in his commission, and this share it
seems is large enough to make the business
lucrative.
