IMPORTANT LITIGATION.
An Effort to Ascertain Whether Railways
Are Bound to Obey the Laws.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 25. Attorney general
Cassidy today filed bill in equity in the Dauphin
County Court of Common Pleas, restrain
ing the Pennsylvania or it's agents from pur-
chasing or by any means, direct or indirect
acquiring control of either the South Pennsyl-
vania or the Beech Creek roads. The bill is
based on Article II of the Constitution of Penn
sylvania. Section OF this article provides that
mo railroad, canal or other corporation. or the
lessees, purchasers or managers of any railroad
or canal corporation, shall consolidate the stock,
property or franchises of such corporation
with, or lease or purchase the works
or franchise of, or in any way control any other
railroad or canal corporation owning, or having
under its control parallel or competing line. =
The Attorney general said today: II propose
to have the question finally determined whether
a great railroad is simply private corporation
or an institution for the public good, a common
carrier. l am proceeding in the matter as the
legal representative of the State, so that it
cannot be charged that the action instituted
by any interested parties. |, of course, under
stand that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will contend that they secured their charter
prior to the adoption OF the new Constitution,
and that they are therefore exempt from its
provisions. Nevertheless. propose to have the
courts finally decide the matter
Preliminary injunctiOns were granted and
made returnable Sept. 8.

to day in secret session. The committee is com
posed of Rev. DR.. James Runcie. of ST. Joseph;
Rev. DR.. j. Gierlow, of Jefferson City, and Rev
B. q. Reed, of st. Louis. The defendant is rep
resented, as counsel. by three Episcopal clergy
men of the city. From reliable source it il
learned that at the opening session, to-day the
defense challenged one Of the judges, supposed
to be Mr.. Reed, as being incapacitated under the
canonical law The point will be referred to
Bishop Robertson, of the diocese. and further
proceedings must necessarily be delayed for
several days.
1t transpires, this evening. that the defendant
challenged Mr.. Reeds eligibility the ground
of prejudice, charging that the latter had ex-
hioited newspaper reports derogatorv to the
defendant, and had also expressed the opinion
that the defendant should be removed from his
position in the church. Mr. Reed, it is stated
at once went before notary and made affidavit
that such charges were unfounded

WASHINGTON, Aug 25-There has been a
great deal of complaint from inhabitants along
the various rivers and bays of the United States
because of the recent determination Of the offic-
ers of the steamboat inspection service to enforce
the law in regard to carrying lights on row boats.
In the st. Lawrence river district several Of
owners have been compelled to pay heavy fines
for negecting to carry lanterns. as prescribed by
law. The law is not a new one by any means.
1t has been on the statute books for
years, but the local inspectors have
been lax in enforcing it until the
present season. The reason of the present
activity among them is that during the rast few
years numerous accidents have been reported,
caused by collisions between large vessels and
boats. which latter had neglected to carry
the proper light 1t happened that, while
on the st. Lawrence, last year, Genera Du-
mont the supervising Inspector general of
steamboats,, was present when a sad tragedy
occurred by which young couple in the turtle
dove period lost their lives by neglecting to
carry the necessary lantern. Feeling that to
neglect to enforce this law would make him in a
measure responsible for similar accidents, should
they occur in the future, General Dumont is
determined that, as far possible, those who
adopt this mode of recreation must comply with
the requirements of the statute
