THE LAW UPHELD.


Aowas Prohibitory Law Declared Constf-
tutional by the supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. Oct. e3.-The supreme ecout
sustained the eunstitutionality Of the prohi-
hition law Of Iowa. The point at issue was
the right to manufacture intoxicating liquors
solely for expectation TO other states despite
the state law, and it was pleaded that the
prohbitory feature, in so FAR as the manu-
faeture for expectation is concerned, was in
conflict with the constitutional provisions
giving congress the sole right TO regulate
interstate commerce. Tie case is that Of j.
;. Kidd, distiller, plaintiff in error, versus
l. h. Pearson and 5. j. Loughras
The court holds that the state law prohib-
iting both tho manufacture and the sale, ex-
cept for mechanical, medicinal, culinary and
saeramental purposes, is not in conflict with
the interstate commerce provisions, and the
decision Of the Iowa court is sustained
Opinion by Justice Lamar.
The decision practically makes no differ
ence in the status Of the distillery, and would
not il it had been the reverse, for since this
litigation was begun the Iowa Legislature has
passed a law that has closed all distilleries
and brvweries by forbidding manufacture
for any purpose. The decision sustans the
new law, and renders unnecessary any test
case under it.

FindthR against the Engineers, Lo0ixouta
and Conductor on the Seventh section
Train aud the Conductor and Brakeman
ON the sixth section.
MAUcH CHUNK, Pa, Oct. ga verdict ia
the Mud Run wreck was rendered 10 this
aty. II is as follows:
We find that the engineers Of locomotives
45S aud 4d6 Of the seventh section were enilt.
Of gross negligence first in falling to dis
cover the red signal in time the evidence
clearly showing that this signal was in
fun view as their train approached and.
secondly, for not approaching the station
under full control, as required by both tn,
general and special orders. The evidence als<
shows that the air brakes Of the entire seventh
section were under the control Of the engineer
of locomotive 466 and that he could have
stopped the train in spite Of the LOCOMOTIVES
ahead, No. 452 We find that the look
out men Of locomotives 452 and 466 were
guilty OF gross negligence In failing
70 report 20 their respective engineers
tho red light at the station as the
train approached. These men were placed
on their respective engines as an additional
precaation, their special duty being 10 look
ont for signals The lookout men on As
failed to see the signal The other one on A6t
testified that he saw it when about 500 feet
from the station, and yet he reported al
right 10 the engineer and claims that he did
not think the red light meant anything, az
nobody used it. We find that the rear brake
man OF the sixth section was guilty Of gross
negligence when his train stopped. Instead
Of promptly going back the proper distance
TO warn the approaching train he stopped AT
the station There was time enough for him
TO have gone back nearly half a mile, but he
went less than 400 feet. We find that tho
conductors Of the two sections failed in theis
duty The first in not conforming TO the rule
requiring each conductor TO see personally
that his brakeman protects the rear OF bis
train, and the second in not requiring his
train to approach the station under coptrol
