Observation-Disclosures News.
A case OF great importance to the cleo.
trio world was decided in the superior court
OF Cincinnati by JUICE Taft, The Gin.
ctnnati and Suburban Telephone company
has won in lis great contest against the
Mount Auburn electric railway. This suit
was brought by the telephone company TO
enjoin the Mount Auburn Incline Plane
Railway company from using the sprague
single trolley system Of electric railways.
The principal electrical FEATURES of the
system is b conducting Of the electricity
to operate the motors under the cara
through a sing'o trolly wire suspended
over the middle OF the street, and con-
nected with the moving car by a trolly
wheel running under the wire attached to
a single mast connected with the car, and
the current running through the motor into
the wheels and thence into the Garth.
Ihe discharge of the electricity into the
earth and the induction from the trolley
wire of currents on parallel telephone
wires produce loud, buzxing noises in the
telephone instruments. preventing the use
Of the telephone. As many as 200 wires of
the telephone company along the line Of
the railway company were disturbed.
The court found that the railway had
the right to use electricity to propel its
cars. but in the absence of express legis-
lative authority it had no right to use a
system which would disturb and iniure the
conduct of the business of the telephone
company, unless it could be shown that
there was no other system of electrical rail.
way which would not create such disturb.
ances. The evidence showed that there il q
practicable system known as the double
trolley wire system, where the current was
conveyed along the street by two wires,
and was carried down into the car by one
trolley wheel and mast and returned to the
other wire by another trolley wheel; that
upon a double track road. like the defend.
ant c%ompany's this was both mechanically
and electrically practicable.
The court found that the telephone COM
pan!y might completely obviate the diff
Guilty by using a metallic circuit for each
one of its lines, but that this would involve
an enormous expense, and that any other
more economical device could only give
partial relief. The court, therefore, found
that the use of the single trolley system by
the defendant was a legal injury to the
telephone company which a court of equity
must enjoin the further c%ontinuances of.
The railroad company, therefore, will be
enjoined from using the single trolley wire
system on ifs lines

GOVERNMENT rELEGnApuY.
Postmaster General wanamake. Explain,
His Proposition.

General WanamakoI Explains
His Propositions.
Postmaster General Wanamaker, before
the house committee on p~ostoAaces and
postroads, discussed fully the proposition
in his annual report for the establishment
by the government Of q limited postal tele.
graph. He submitted a plan providing for
q lease by the government for ten years of
wires for carrying on the business and for
the delivery Of kilograms by carriers in the
first delivery following the receipt of the
telegram. Ths scheme, he insisted, is
practical and free from objections.
MIR. Wanamaker proposed Q union Of the
post and telegraph on a basis that would
not interfere. to any appreciable extent with
any existing rights, but would offer meal
culable service to classes not now enjoying
the use of the telegraph to any large de-
gree. He asked that he be directed to me-
gotiate for and secure a set of leased wires
such as the great newspapers have from
city to city, OF brokers and bankers have
connecting their Offices in different cities,
that the public might communicate
through their business Offices (postofices)
from city to city. or by messages dropped
in their mail boxes. The people had now,
he continued, business Offices, clerks who
could soon learn the trick Of the machines;
carriers who travelled over the same streets
traversed by the telegraph boys, and
stamps for payment that dispense with
bookkeeping, and all that was needed to
build up the service was the authority and
the wire. He declared most emphatically
that such service was the legitimate work
of the %postofice, and people we're right in
stoutly demanding telegraph facilities at
postal stations.
MIR. Wanamaker then stated the previs-
ions Of the bill. Nothing in the act shall
be construed SO as to prohibit any tele-
graph company from performing general
business for the public as the same is now
done. The postal telegraph charges in
any one state shall not exceed 10 cents for
messages Of twenty words OF less, count
ing the address and signatures; nor over
20 cents for any distance under 1850.
miles; nor over SO cents for any greater
distance, the rates and rules and regula.
lions to DO prescribed by the postmaster
general. The bill also provides for a sys.
tenn of postal telegraph money orders at a
rate not to exceed double the rate now
charged. in addition to q double postal
telegraph charge.

OF lumber started on . dead run across III,

local townsite boomers bad secured an i'm.
portant advantage by reason Of their closer
proximity to the lands.
1t wes . grand sight. viewed from the
high bluffs, whore several thousand people
had gathered to see as many more take
part In this exciting event. Indian police
numbering nearly 100 had been placed as a
guard TO prevent any premature invasion,
bat they stood dazsd and helpless as they
viewed the great aud irresistible rush for the
reservation. The most novel sight was til
moving of a large building, under which
had been PLACED heavy timbers and wheels,
This. like the other wagons, was pulled
across the river by galloping horses.
II took but q few minutes for several
sections on the valuable bottom to be
literally covered with claimants, and Il will
take q score of lawyers to solve the prob
lem as to who are the rightful owners.
The local town site boomers undoubtedly
secured an advantage over the other or
Ranized boomers by q few minutes, but
among the boomers are a number who in
tend to secure homestead filings if posi-
BILE. which will complicate the matter to
such an extent as to result in q protracted
legal struggle. While this rush is going
on {. r the bottom lands many other in
tending settlers have rushed promptly into
the uplands and begun at::once the erection
of houses, and these arc prepared to de-
fend their rights as against any invasion
of their lands. United States Marshal
Fry and Indian Agent Anderson, assisted
by deputies and Indian police, were soon
at work vigorously attempting to EJECT the
invaders. The forces at their disposal
were entirely inadequate to the require
ments of the occasion, and while many
were notified and escorted across the river,
there was no a large enough force to keep
them there and they quickly returned to
their claims.

reported. Chamberlain was in an uproar
at night, bells ringing, whistles blowing
and cannon booming. The settlers who
have lumber on the grouLd are erecting
houses by the light Of lanterns. The
morning sun will shine on scores of new
houses, many of them grouped in the now
town on the west side of the river.
The local townsiters, who got advantage
OF the other boomers for the possession of
the town site, have arranged for represen-
tation in nearly fifty different lines of BUSH
ness. Inside of f~orty-eight hours the
buildings will be erected and everything in
running order with a population of be-
tween 1900 and 5000. 1t is fortunate
the proclamation came at this time as q few
weeks later the crossing of the river would
be dangerous.

Judge Blodgett, of Chicago, has rem
dered a decision Of vital interest to all
millers using the modern roller process.
While the use of rolls is old, numberless
patents on special devices have been
granted. and some time ago four of the
leading manufacturers formed a company,
FOOLED all their patents aud commenced
suit against a number of millers and man
ufacturers for infringement. Judge
Blodgett has decided in a suit brought
against the. Barnard g. Lease Manufactur-
ing company, of Moline, ILL.,, that these
patents Can only be sustained for such
special devices as they cover, and that the
investors entered the field at SO late q day
that they are not entitled to have the
doctrine Of equivalents enforced in their
behalf.

The republican journals Of Paris ap-
