together with Spanish onions, eschalots
and baked potatoes, and were washed

second course permitted was toasted

was applied to as a man of experience
in such matters. ''Hoot, mon" said he

two Of the most prominent citizens Of
Wilmington:
First. II was charged with toll yes
terday In going ont to the scene Of the
explosion at DuPont's mills. The road
was miserable one, but just the same
the gate keeper charged me. Now I
think this toll Is an outrage. 1t ia
nothing more nor less than direct tax
which could be easily avoided.
Why II man had to pass there twice
each day the toll would be go cents a

come a large amount. If they took these
convicts in New Castle jail and had them
work on the county roads instead Of
planning more crimes In the idleness
OF the jail we would have good roads.

THE PULLMAN PATENT SUSTAINED.
a Victory That Is worzh se5. 900. 900 to
the Companv.


Boston, Oct 10 The Pullman palace
Car company has been successful in its
vestibule car suit against the Boston and
Albany railroad. Judge Colt, in his de
clslon, says, after describing at length the
clilms OF the Pullman patent in con-
nection with the first ground of defense,
which is that the patent is void for want
OF novelty; Considering the amount Of
thought in the country directed toward
improvements in railway mechanicism
whereby greater safety and comfort may
be secured to the travelling public, It
hardly seems possible that the Pullman
vestibule system, In view of what 1t has
accomplished and the immediate recogni-
tion OF It's merits, was the result Of the
exercise merely OF mechanical skin. and
therefore not patentable under the laws
OF the United States. Leaving
out the Sessions patent / can discover
nothing In the prior state of the art which
anticipates the Pullman patent, or which
should render it void for want Of patenta-
BILE noyelty.n
Concerning the Sessions patent granted
to II. II. Sessions, Nov. Is, 1887, which was
applied for two weeks before the Pullman
application was made and which the de-
PENDANTS oontended described what IL
claimed as the Pullman invention, Judge
Colt says that Sessions set out to solve GER
tain evils incident to train Of cars
namely, to the starting and stopping Of
them and to swayiDg when they are NOV
ing On the other hand Pullman under
took TO overcome the difficulties incident
70 yestibule connection between cars,
and this he accomplished by means Of
flexible or adjustable joints TO permit OF
sufficient movement between Individual
passenger CARS The court could not hold
Sessions To 81 the bfiof Inventor. Il Would
seem to be unjusl FOX Tie court, by infer
ence, TO incorporate the Pullman invention
into the Sessions patent, and thus prevent
both inventors from deriving any benefit
from this Improvement, because II the
Pullman patent were destroyed, Sessions
could derive no benefit from the Pullman
invention, as he nowhere describes on
claims it in his patent
In conclusion, the court ordered decree
to be drawn for complainant as prayed for
in the bill
