NEW York, November ia Gal
weston (Tex.) special says: A little
over a mouth ago the mutilated re.
mains OF Richard Lacock were found
floating in the bay, with every indica'
ton that horrible murder had been
committed, but owing 10 the lack oil
evidence the suspected individual was
set free. Lste Tuesday another muir
der, relatively Of the came order, was
discovered eff Pelican Island, q small
strip Of land across the bay from the
city. The victim in this case was one
Jim Phillips, sged about go years. Fol
the past twenty years he has been va
riously employed on the bay, and lat
terly took charge Of one OF Musgrove'i
sloops. Last Friday he sailed from
Galveston in the regular course Of
business. He WAS alone on his little
vessel. A fshermsn, Tuesday last
boarded Phillips's sloop, which lay al
anchor near the shore, and discovered
the body Of Phillips hung by the neck
In the small cabin in such a po
sition as to preclude any theory o.
suicide. A subsequent investit
CATION by Justice Sham, al
the inquest, after the sloop and
its CHASTITY burden were br ught to
the city, leads to the conclusion that
Phillips had been brutally murdered
There were two hideous wounds on
his head, both, It Is thought
fracturing the skull. The little
cabin and deck were bespat
tered with blood, and the genera
indications we're that there had been
a struggle and that the bleeding
corpse had been carried below after
the fatal blows had been dealt. In
further continuation OF this, bloody
Ratchet, with which the wounds had
been inflicted, was found on top Of
the cabin. Under the body was found
an advertising picture card, on which
was written: "Kiiker, you have hat
all my money, aud now you may havt
myu life. Your vile is liar anC
YOU thief. You cent tn at card" A
person familiar with PhillipB's writing
testified 1t was not his writing. 1hiI
slender thread may lead to the ap
prehension OF the criminal. The
case is still under investigation.

A Decision I'm Favor of the He'll Tel
ephone Company.


CINCINNATI, o., November 1.-The
opinion OF the United States Circuit
Court in the case Of the government
against the American Bell Telephone
Company was delivered this morning
by Judge Sage. II is very volumi-
nous, and is in favor OF the American
Bell Telephone Company. Taking up
first the defendants motion to quash
the return, the Court granted the mo-
ton on the ground that the service,
according to the Marshal's return, hsd
been made up on local corporations in
Ohio, designated in the return as
agents and partners OF the defendants.
The Court found that the local corpo-
ratlons were net such sgents as are
contemplated by the Ohio statute de-
fining the method OF obtaining service
upon foreign corporations in Ohio.
Taking up then the plea In abatement,
which by the election OF the govern
ment had been set down for argument
instead Of being put in issue, and
thereby became entitled to treat
ment by court, as II its state
ments had all been established by
proof, the Court found that the proper
elements for giving this court jurisdlc-
tion-namely, carrying on business in
Ohio; second, carrying on business In
Ohio through general agent; and,
third, local statute providing that
service should be made on such gem
eral or managing agent did not exist.
The telephone business In Ohio is
done by local companies with leased
instruments from the parent COM
pany. There is no general or manag-
ing egent of the parent company in
Ohio. AS TO the claim OF the govern
ment that the dealing in patent
made the company domestic in the
entire territory OF the United States,
coexistent with the patent, the Court
held that il could not be sustained.
The grant to a patentee Is the right to
exclude others from making or selling
his patent. His right to sell is only
the common law right and Is not a
franchise from the government. The
bill YVES dismissed for want of jurie-
dictlon and without prejudice to insti-
tutinR suit elsewhere.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-11-12

stated that the defendant had already
had considerable time to examine the
case, and in response TO Recorder
Smyth's query, Mr.. Stickney re-
sponded: 'Ten days. This case,
your Honor, contains more intricate
facts than ordinary clses." Recorder
Smyth, after some argument, gave the
defendant until Monday next to with
draw the plea and substitute another,
but said that il 1t was decided to
make motion the District Attorney
must be given notice couple Of days
in advance. A plea OF rot guilty was
then entered in behalf OF Jacob Sharp.
For Richmond Judge Fullerton en-
tered like plea, with the same slip
ula,ions. He said that be would prob
ably make a motion calling upon the
District Attorney to produce the min,
utes Of the proceedings OF the grand
jury, and would serve the District
Attorney with notice Saturday il he
80 desired. Foshsy and StIahan en-
tered the came pies, and John H. Bird
performed like service in behalf OF
Kerr, and after q short private con-
sultation the defendants and their
lawyers left the courtroom.

One of the most crnel calamities
brought about by that domineering die.
tator, fashion, is the wearing Of dead
birds as ornaments. IL involves whole
sale slaughter Of birds and the ultimate
determination of the most beautiful
sp pacies in our own country. The ladies
could easily avert this by refusing TO
wear birds as ornaments, and follow the
example of the wife Of the Governor of
Iowa, who recently called a convention
of the wives of all the legislative mem
bers, and organized society with the
purpose of making vigorous crusade
against the abominable fashion.
A NEW METHOD. MIR. S. IT. Brooks,
of Bellefonte, is at present in town
selling Prof RIce's international Sys-
tenn of Lessons in Music. The outfit
consists OF large Chart, printed on
both sides, with full instructions i'll the
first rudiments Of organ and piano
playing. Everything, from the names
of the keys to the playing OF major and
minor chords, is explained in the most
simple and comprehensive manner on
this chart. Along with the chart goes
the Key, book OF Is pages, containing
sill more information. Then music
book giving practical lessons and some
of the most pupular songs accompanies
the chart and key. The whole seri es,
consisting of three grades is sold for
five dollars. Having closely examined
the work we can say that this system
of self-teaching is beyond doubt the
best in The market and cannot fail TO
give satisfaction. Looking at the
work in pecuniary light it is decided :
ly a cheaper plan to instruct your chill
dren than to engage teachers. We un-
derstand that Mr. Brooks has already
made quite a number Of sales.
