In Favor of The Brush.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. ~24.-Judge Gresham
to-day decided a case OF general interest in
the suit brought by the Brush Electric
Company OF Cleveland against the Fort
Wayne Electric Light company, for an in
fragment OF the Brush patent upon the 80.
called double carbon lamp. The case has
been vigorously prosecuted and has been
pending about three years. All OF the
claims OF the Brush patents were SUSTAINED,
six in all. and declared to be infringed.
These claims cover all the night electric
lamps used for street lighting, where two
or Tor pairs Of carbons are employed.
The patent was attacked by the defense
mainly upon the grounds that it's claims
were too broad and sweeping, but this de.
Tense did mot avail. The electric lamps
controlled by this patent are in use
this country and, in fact, the
world over, wherever street lighting by
electricity is had.
