Republican National Conference opened it's
second days session this afternoon. 1t

CHICAGO, May 2.-Judge Gresham decided
to-day the suit OF the Pullman Palace Car
Company VS.. the Wagner Company and
Lake Shore Railway to enioin them from
using their vestibule cars. In doing SO he
says the defendants were not slow in ap-
propriating Sessions Improvement by op-
Grating the trains with cars OF similar con-
struction. The appropriation was so COM
pete that the Wagner vestibule train ap-
pears to be duplicate OF the Pullman
train. Defendants did not claim to do this
under the authority OF a patent OF their
own. They deliberately appropriated
every substantial feature which was ex-
hibited in the Sessions invention and Pull.
man vestibue train, whether pat
entable or non-patentable. To say that
this was a recognition by the defendants OF
the merits of the Sessions improvement
does not enter into the merits OF the case
before the court. A temporary Injunction
was ordered issued as prayed Tor. The
Pullman Company have granted the Wag'
ner Company fourteen days in which to
carry out the order OF the court, otherwise
the Wagner cars could not have gone out
on to-nght's trains.

THE TAM o,sHASrER SUIT.
A Heavy and Strange Mining Suit Decided
In the Supreme Court.

Denver Republican,: In the State Su-
Ipreme Court yesterday the case OF Atkin-
son against Tabor was decided in favor OF
ex-senator Tabor. The case, in addition
to involving q large gum Of money, pre-
sents some anomalous and interesting fea-
lures. Six or seven years ago ex-senator
Tabor bonded the Tam O'Shanter mine.
situated at Ashcroft, in Pitkin County, for
the sum of $1OO,0O0 A number OF men
were at once put to work on the property.
and the vein opened up very satisfactorily
and extending promises OF making
6 great mine. When it was learned that
the bond would likely be taken up, Mr..
B. e. Bruckman, q mining operator,
served notice on ex-senator Tabor to the
effect that he held an interest in the
property, although it was not on record,
and cautioned the contemplating purchaser
against paying the money to the Atkinson
Brothers, who discovered and located
the mine, and had placed deed,
made out to Tabor, in a Leadville bank.
Inquiry regarding the interest OF Mr..
BRucKMAN SHOWED THAT FOR TIME
he had "grub-staked" the Atkinson boys
expending several hundred dollars in the
purchase of supplies and tools. The Atkin-
son boys admitted this claim, but declared
that Mr.. Bruckmsn, long before the dis
covery of this vein, had ceased to con-
tribute to the expenses encountered in
prospecting ond had declared himself out,
both by word of mouth and by his refusal
to respond to further demands for money.
x-Senator Tabor being desirous to acquire
title to the property, and wishing to
obviate possible further litigation, notified

New YoRK, May 3.-Dr. Potts, in the
Women's Conference to-day advocated the
admission of women as delegates. HI
asserted that report did not interpret
alright the law of the church. He wanted
to plead for the right over might. There ID
nothing in statutes properly interpreted
he continued, that would restrict women
from exercising the same rights as men
More than two-thirds OF the members OF the
church are women. Have they no right?
Are they not to have something to
say in the government OF the church, which
they aid most in supporting? Without
wnmen the half of thechurches would cease
to exist. The Methodist church is too pro
gressive and democratic to entertain the
ancient brutality displayed towards women
and advocate their objection. Women can.
not be left out without harm to the church.
REV. VIM. BRUSH OF DAKOTA
made long and earnest appeal, in which
he said: 1.-THE question does not turn upon
the rights Of women. but upon the princi-
ple. I have claim to some knowledge OF
Methodist history, and I don't know OF
anything that tells us that women should
be admitted" DR.. Buckley referred to the
Episcopalians, Baptists and Presbyterians
who did not admit women into their con-
ference, and claimed that there was not a
denomination in the world that would ad-
NIT women. He did not consider it was
her place in such an assemblage. There is
nothing in the constitution OF the church
that gives them the right to q seat. He
claimed that every time woman was put
in the legislative body man was put out to
no advantage of that body. He closed
with an impassioned plea for the support
of the committees report.
REV. j. A. B. WILSON,
of Wilmington, Del, an advocate Of the ad-
m; -s:r.l uf women, read long essay in sup
port of their rights. Rev. DR.. A. Wheeler,
of Erie, took decided stand against ad-
mission. Rev. DR.. Luke G. Queal, OF Cen
trail New York, said if women are to come
in they must do so by the consent OF the
annual conference. Rev. DIR. J. r. Hamil-
ton, OF Boston, who was one of the commit
tee who refused to sign the mittee report
against the admission of women said the
world was prejudiced against new things.
Those who opposed the admission of
women did so from prejudice. The women
had right to vote in the church and
therefore were entitled to seats in the con-
ference. A recess WAS then taken and
further discussion OF the subject went over
till to II. orrow. The afternooa was spent
in the appointment of the standing COM
mittee and their organization.
