Rafuses the Inianotion.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 2.--JuGge Brew
er's decision in the application of the
railroads for an Injunction restraining
the railroad commissioners from enforc-
ing their schedule of rates was received
here today. 1t refuses the injunction
and removes the restraining order. The
decision after reviewing the bill Of
complaint and its answer says:
There are substantially three ques-
tions presented.
First-An evasion of the injunction
order heretofore issued and therefor
a practical contempt of that order.
Second-Did the sections of the
statue under which the commissioners
act give authority to render such de-
cisiOn and to establish a full schedule
of rates for the complainant.
Thirds the scedule announced
just and reasonable.
He holds: First-That there has been
no evasion of the injunction on the
ground that the new schedule differed
substantially from the one enjoined by
substituting the western classification
for the Illinois classification.
Second-That the sections of the
statute quoted when taken together
did Justify the commissioners in max
ing an entirely new schedule.
Third. That the schedule is on its
face, presumably compensatory and
should be rendered and if when the evil
dence is presented to the court il ap-
pears that the rate is unreasonable a
permanent injunction should be issued.
In conclusion the decision says: In
view of these considerat' ons 1 am de-
cided to refuse the preliminary injunc-
ton and to set aside the restraining
order heretofore entercd. II may
tie that by the time this case comes to 4
final hearing the test of expert
ences will have solved some of the
matters and 1T may be clear, as now
seems probable. that the rates imposed
by this last schedule are compensatory
within the rule laid down in the prior
opinion. in which case no injunction
ought to issue, or clear that they are
not compensatory in which case be
yond any doubt in my mind a tinal and
permanent injunction ought to be
granted.
This decision is in the suit brought
by the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy
railroad.

jack the Ripper,s Imitator.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. g.
Either Jack the Ripper" of White
Chapel has emigrated from the scene
of his CHASTITY murders, or he has found
one or more imitators in this part OF
Central America. The people have
been greatly aroused by six of the
most atrocious murders ever committed
within the limits of this city. The AS
sassin has visited and left no traces
for Identification. All the victims
were women of the character who met
their fate at the hands of the London
murderer. They were found murdered
just as mysteriously, and the evidences
point to almost identical methods.
Two were found butchered out of all
recognition. Even their faces were
most horribly slashed, and in the cases
of all the others their persons were
frightfully disfgured. Like Jack the
Ripper's" victims, they have been
found in out of-the way places. Two
of the victims were possessed of gaudy
jewelry, and from that it is argued
that the mysterious murderer has not
committed the crime for ROBBERY. In
fact in almost every detail the crimes
and characteristics are identical with
the White Chapel horrors.

pies. If elected l shall be thankful: il

TACT in his notice of contest, he en-
ployed q responsible citizen named
Alexander Of the Plummeryille pre-
cinct, to obtain the names of those who
voted for him, who obtained the names
OF $50 such voters, when, on the 18th
Of December, his work suddenly term
mated by reason of the events which
we now proceed to detail:
On the 18th of December, Wahl, the
aforementioned supervisor, was in
weighed into a game Of cards at night,
in the back room of a DOCTORS Office in
Plummerville, where he was seated ia
close proximity to a glass door, through
which he was shot by would-be assas-
sin, the ball piercing the lobe of his
left ear and cutting cash in his neck
about three inches long. VAIL fed to
the house Of the aforementioned Alex
ander, where he remained until day
light, after which he reached his home,
and soon after repaired to Little Rock,
where be now remains, for safety.
This attempt upon the life of VAIL
so alarmed Alexander as to cause him
to abandon his work and fly from the
state. For the crimes above enumer-
ated no man has been arrested by the
state or county authorities, nor has
any official reward been offered. John
M. Clayton went to Plummerville, I'M
armed and unescorted. recognizing the
futility of such precautions against the
stealthy assassin, and believing that
his opponent. Mr.. Breckenridge, who
was aware of the condition of affairs
in this county, would be willing and
able to restrain his partisans. While
passing through Little Rock on his way
there he said TO Hon. Henry Cooper, in
response to a suggestion of danger:
Il do not believe that will be harmed,
but men who voted for me- believe that
| was elected, and so do l, and will
go there even at the risk of my life. D
and so he went. After having been
engaged several days in taking testi-
monY. about O'Clock p. m. of January
70, while in his room at his boarding
house, in the act of sitting down at a
table near a window to write to his
mOtherless children, he was shot
through the window by concealed assas-
sins few feet from him, and instantly
killed.
We were unable to remove his body
until $3.50 p. m. of the next day, up to
which time the sheriff of the county
had not appeared. being, in the Ian
guage of his deputy. engaged in the
more important business of collecting
taxes. Nor had any citizen of the
town made the slightest effort to trace
or apprehend his murderers.
The foregoing facts we stand ready
to substantiate in every essential par
ticular, every one of which we believe
to be a material link in the chain OF
circumstances surrounding and leading
to the inhuman murder of our brother
John NJ. Clayton.

the work of stemming and stripping.
This action on the part of the company

cOiored men warning them Co leave
town within ten days or receive sum-
mary punishment. Threats were also
made to burn the factory homes of the
imported laborers. But little atten-
ton is paid ITO these threats. Satur-

home of Logan Collins, cOlored boss
and fired five shots into the house
Collins procured revolver and re-
turned the fire but no one was hurt on
either side. The factory owners say
they Will not discharge the new meI

Dies MONIES, Iowa, Feb. San in
teresting decision was made by the su-
preme court yesterday, reversing the
judgment of the lower court in the
case of A. C. Hoagland, a Washington
county pharmacist. The defendant
and w. Hoagland were jointly indicted
upon a charge of maintaining a nui-
sance by the unlawful traffic in intox-
icating liquors. They were Jointly
tried and the defendant alone con-
victed. Hoagland is practicing ply
stefan at Brighton and owns drug
store. He obtained a permit in 1886
from the county board of supervisors,
allowing him to sell liquor for medicin-
al and other purposes not forbidden by
law. 1t appears that several witnesses
testified that they all were sick and
needed the liquor. The lower court
fined the druggist 81 COO. The supreme
court, in reversing the decision Of the
lower court, says: The finding thai
